Photography was my first love and my work covered a wide spectrum of interests, processes and techniques. For 35 years I was a consumate black & white photographer. Although much of my work could be called landscape, I feel it is more about subtle relationships than grand vistas. I place emphasis on line, tone, form and compositional relationships. Fifteen years ago i moved my photography completely into the digital realm which allows me the freedom to simplify and to blur the borders between black and white and color, between photography and other art forms, and especially between the real and the perceived.
At some point these ideas led me back to painting, a medium I had not used since I was in my twenties. Compositional techniques and points of view demonstrated in my photographic work readily transferred into my painting and drawing. Soon I found that, not only does my photography influence my painting, but also my painting influences my photography.
In 2012, I had an epiphany of sorts and began combining both photography and painting in the computer. These images often start with a photograph and use digital brushes and various software, filters and/or screens to develop a scene. The resultant works are neither photographs nor paintings but an amalgamation of the two into something new. I now find my options for expressing my vision are truly limitless.

Lovely poem, and the preceding post is profound! "we waltz, with lonely Sol calling the rhyme" — tremendous!
Very touching Don..as always Gayle would love your way with words. Your sensitive post left me speechless …Thankyou Don we love you.
We must be free, for there is no choice, and the irony there is not past me when given so little yet beautiful time. She was beautiful; I am sure.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, my friend!

Heading into Thursday trading, global stocks were set for another downbeat session when China's Ministry of Commerce broke news broke that - at the invitation of the US - China would send its Vice Commerce Minister, Wang Shouwen, to the U.S. for low-level trade talks in late August, the first official exchanges since earlier negotiations broke down two months ago. The Chinese delegation would meet with an American group led by David Malpass, under secretary for international affairs at the Treasury.
The news - which the market immediately interpreted as an opportunity for an end in the trade war between the US and China - sparked a furious risk-on rally, which sent US futures, the offshore Yuan, and other risk assets surging, while the dollar and Treasuries slumped.
Maybe the market got ahead of itself again because the upcoming talks will be at a relatively low level: "This will be 'talks about trade talks,'" said Gai Xinzhe, an analyst at the Bank of China's Institute of International Finance in Beijing. "Lower-level officials will meet and haggle and see if there is a possibility for higher-level talks." Yet for some reason, despite several rounds of failed talks to date, the market reaction clearly shows that investors are hopeful for successful negotiations.
And while Asian stocks had to catch up to US selling of tech stocks in the aftermath of the Tencent earnings debacle, both Europe (with the exception of Italy, whose stocks slumped after Atlantia shares crashed the most since 1987 following the Genoa bridge tragedy) and US futures have held on to gains and the result is yet another (mostly) sea of green this morning as yesterday's drop has been faded.
Still, as Gai Xinzhe, a Bank of China's analyst noted, "Even if the senior officials reach a deal, things could still change, as President Trump can easily flip-flop. We have been there", he said quoted by Bloomberg.
Others agreed: "The news (of the China-U.S. trade talks) triggered short-covering but I think fundamentally it is of limited significance," said Yasuo Sakuma, chief investment officer at Libra Investments.
One thing that could make China more amenable is that Beijing is - for now - a loser in the currency war. China's equity market has suffered declines and the yuan has been on a losing streak for more than a month. Chinese authorities, bracing for economic fallout, have introduced measures to support growth ranging from shifting toward a more accommodative monetary policy to boosting fiscal spending.
Which however begs the question why the US would invite China, especially if Trump is winning, if only for the time being.
... not only on the upcoming trade talks between China and the U.S. and stronger-than-expected fixing, but also a surge in the 12 month forward points, the latest attempt by China to force buy the Yuan, as currency bears were violently squeezed as the cost to short surged the most since 2016 (more on that shortly).
And as US equity futures and the Yuan rebounded on fresh hopes of easing trade tensions, so did European stocks while the dollar fell for the first time in 6 days and Treasuries dipped.
After dipping into a bear market yesterday, the Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose, with most sectors in the green, however there was one outlier: Italian stocks declined as infrastructure company Atlantia SpA's shares fell by almost one-fifth in the wake of a deadly bridge collapse. UK Retail Sales for July smashed expectations, rising 0.7% vs. Exp. 0.2%. ONS said that clothing sales possibly boosted by extended discounting, world cup and sunshine supported food sales.
Earlier, Asian equities had hit one-year lows overnight as they tracked Wednesday's global falls and Tencent results disappointed, though pared declines after the Chinese news of possible de-escalation in the trade war. Chinese stocks pare losses, with both Shanghai Composite Index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index each down 0.8%. Earlier in the day, Shanghai was down as much as 1.9 percent while Hong Kong was off 1.7 percent. Japan's Nikkei average closed 0.1% lower in choppy trade, with the benchmark falling as much as 1.5% before a brief swing into positive territory on China news.
Meanwhile, the crash across Emerging Markets halted, as EM currencies fought to regain their footing on Thursday, while the story of earlier this week, the Turkish Lira collapse, seeming ever more like a distant memory as the Turkish currency rose again, the USDTRY sliding from 6.00 to below 5.80, an increase in the value of the Lira of over 16% since Monday, its best three-day run since 1994.
A drop in the dollar and the sight of the lira striding back above 6 per dollar, coupled with a sharply higher Chinese yuan also steadied emerging market currencies like South Africa's rand, Russia's ruble and Mexico's peso. And while EM stocks nudged lower again though after they entered a bear market on Wednesday, metals markets clawed higher, however, after copper had also entered 'bear' territory.
Summarizing the latest state of global chaos, SocGen's FX strategist Kit Juckes said "the Chinese are heading to Washington and yuan bounced, the Qataris are heading to Ankara and the lira bounced and has left everything else floating around really." He added that it was still too early to sound the all clear around Turkey - its new finance minister and son-in-law of President Tayyip Erdogan will hold a global conference call later - and that the broader worries were still around the extent of China's economic slowdown.
Meanwhile, markets were still shaken by the weak earnings from Tencent: the Chinese tech giant which holds a 40 percent stake in the U.S. firm that makes cult game Fortnite reported its first quarterly profit fall in nearly 13 years on weak gaming revenue. That knocked other Asian tech firms with South Korea's Samsung Electronics, Asia's third largest firm by market cap, down to a one-year low, although the trade news quickly llifted market sentiment.
The tentative recovery in risk appetite also saw bond benchmark German Bund and U.S. Treasury yields, which move inverse to the bond's price, nudge up.
In FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index slips from the highest level in more than a year as some dollar bulls take profits following confirmation that the U.S. and China would resume trade talks. Broad improvement in risk sentiment also weighed on the greenback as Treasuries slipped and European stocks edged higher. The Turkish lira headed for its best three-day run since 1994 while the pound advanced, snapping a two-day decline, after U.K. retail sales beat estimates.
The Australian dollar led Group-of-10 gains as news China and the U.S. are resuming trade talks outweighed earlier short- selling spurred by a miss in the employment change; the euro rebounded to touch 1.1398 day high while the yen was the worst performer among G-10 currencies amid improved risk appetite. The Norwegian krone was little changed against the euro after the central bank confirmed what was already expected by markets, namely that a hike most likely will come in September.
In other news, the Norwegian Key Policy Rate remained unchanged at 0.50% as expected. The Norges Bank said the outlook and balance of risks don't appear to have changed substantially since the June report and the outlook and balance of risks suggested that the key policy rate would most likely be raised in Sept. 2018. The upturn in the Norwegian economy is continuing broadly in line with expectations set out in June and Underlying inflation is below target, but driving forces indicate it will rise further out.
President Trump stated tariffs will rescue the US steel industry, while he also stated he is considering interview with Special Counsel Mueller. In addition, there were separate reports that US President Trump's team is preparing to oppose a potential subpoena from Special Counsel Mueller.
Elsewhere, metals rebounded after a hammering on Wednesday. Gold turned higher after touching a 19-month low. In Hong Kong, currency interventions continued after the currency fell to the weak end of its trading band.
And though metals strengthened, oil prices were left flat after data showed a surprise weekly increase in U.S. crude stockpiles, compounding worries about a weaker global economic growth. Brent was at just over $70 a barrel and U.S. crude oil CLc1 last stood at $65.12 per barrel, having fallen to two-month lows of $64.42 per barrel, following Wednesday's 3.2 percent fall.
Expected data include jobless claims and housing starts. JD.com, Madison Square Garden, Applied Materials, and Nvidia are among companies reporting earnings.
U.K. retail sales bounced back strongly in July amid warmer weather and extended discounts at stores. Sales gained 0.7 percent from June, compared with a median estimate of a 0.2 percent gain in a Bloomberg survey.
In FX, EMs saw risk revival emanating from the region after reports that Turkey will get a much needed financial boost from Qatar ($15 bn) ahead of the Finance Minister's investor call that could tempt others to follow suit. Meanwhile, plans are afoot for China and the US to engage in trade talks before the next scheduled exchange of import tariffs come into effect, and collectively this has given the Lira more recovery momentum (Usd/Try back down and more convincingly below 6.0000), alongside the Yuan (Usd/Cnh sub-6.9000 vs almost 6.9500 at one stage, and even though the PBoC pushed up the Usd/Cny mid-point again, to 6.8946 from 6.8856 on Wednesday) and other contagious EM currencies. DXY - The index has duly retraced further amidst the broad improvement in sentiment having stopped a fraction short of 97.000 yesterday and is currently pivoting around 96.500. AUD/NZD/EUR - The biggest beneficiaries from latest Chinese and Turkish-related news having borne the brunt in the G10 sphere when aversion was more prominent. Aud/Usd has bounced firmly from near 0.7200 lows above 0.7250, but looks capped ahead of a hefty 1 bn option expiry at 0.7300 and somewhat undermined by mixed Aussie jobs data overnight. The Kiwi has also pared recent losses to just south of 0.6550, though like its antipodean counterpart seems top heavy approaching the next big figure, as does the single currency at 1.1400 vs its circa 1.1300 base. However, the failure to break barriers at that level and trip stops below reportedly caught several shorts cold and forced a squeeze when Eur/Usd rebounded to and through 1.1350. NOK - No real reaction to the Norges Bank, as the accompanying statement merely confirmed previous guidance that flags a 1/4 point hike at the next policy meet on September 20. Eur/Nok relatively rangy between 9.5750-6130.
In commodities, WTI and Brent are essentially flat, with WTI and Brent languishing around the USD 71.00/BBL & USD 65.00/BBL levels respectively. Gold is modestly benefitting from a USD that is set for its first fall in over a week, with the yellow metal up ~0.5% on the day, and testing the USD 1180/OZ level to the upside after breaking through its 50 DMA in the early morning. Base metals have recovered after yesterday's sell-off, with all of lead (+4%), zinc (+3.4%) and copper (+1.9%) rising off the back of an improved risk tone owed to mending US-Sino trade relations.
Looking ahead to today, we get the August Philadelphia Fed PMI along with July building permits and housing starts data. Walmart, Gap, and Nordstrom will also report earnings.
The irony is that whilst Turkey has had a good 36 hours, the rest of global markets seem to be suffering from a delayed contagion reaction yesterday. Although there was risk off across the board, the highlight was Italy where 10 year yields climbed 13.7bp and edging above levels seen at the end of May (and to 4-year highs) when there was a constitutional crisis and 70 basis points higher than the recent lows of 2.47% back on July 18. Meanwhile, the spread to 10-year Bunds (now at +286 bps) is within 4 basis points of their May wides. Two-year Italian yields rose 12bps but remain 140 bps lower than the end-May highs, reflecting that this episode is not indicative of an immediate crisis of confidence but rather a re-rating of risk. Nevertheless, the moves were impressive given that yesterday was a public holiday in Italy. Perhaps that was part of the problems in that there was no local money to stand in the way of the international risk off.
Risk is stabilising a bit overnight as it looks like high level trade talks between the US and China will be back on. This morning, Bloomberg noted that at the invitation of the US Department of Treasury, a Chinese delegation led by Vice Commerce Minister Wang will travel to Washington later this month for more talks. Following on, equities in Asia have recovered from session lows to trade modestly lower. The Hang Seng (-0.61%), Kospi (-1.03%), Nikkei (-0.21%) and Shanghai Comp. (-0.87%) are all down. Meanwhile futures on the S&P are pointing to a firmer start and the Yuan is stronger while the Lira is down c0.9%. Datawise, Japan's July trade deficit was wider than expected at -231bn Yen (vs. -41bn Yen expected), in part as exports grew at a slower than expected rate of 3.9% yoy. After the bell in the US, Cisco also jumped +6% after guiding to higher than expected sales growth for the current quarter. Meanwhile on Turkey, the White House spokeswoman Ms Sanders noted that "the tariffs that are in place on steel (by the US) won't be removed with the release of Pastor Brunson" while German Chancellor Merkel seems to be signalling some support as she noted "no one has an interest in the economic destabilisation of Turkey".
Now turning to equity volatility. After moving back towards the cyclical lows this time last week, we've spiked back up this week, especially in Europe. At 18.48 the V2X is all of a sudden at the highest level since the Italian led spike at the end of May and has now only been higher for two days since early April when it was still adjusting lower after the February vol spike. The VIX rose +1.3pt to 14.64 after an intra-day spike to 16.82 late morning US time.
That spike in vol coincided with the lows of the day for the S&P 500 (-1.32%) but the market stabilised and rallied around the time of the Turkey/Qatar headlines and closed -0.76% lower. Losses were concentrated in energy and materials stocks, with those two sectors down 3.53% and 1.55%, as the commodity complex sold off broadly. Brent crude oil shed 2.35% to $70.76 per barrel, its lowest level in over 4 months. This is partially a result of the strong dollar, which, despite trading flat yesterday, remains within a few basis points of its highest level in over a year. Sentiment in the sector was not helped by US Department of Energy data at 3:30pm London time, which showed US crude oil inventories increased by 6.8 million barrels last week. That's the biggest inventory build since March 2017, and was contrary to consensus expectations which had called for a 2.9 million barrel draw down. This increase in oil stockpiles is against the typical seasonal pattern where consumers increase their consumption amid summer driving trips, and the risk is it could signal softer demand moving forward. Other commodities also dropped yesterday, with LME copper futures falling 4.02% to their lowest level in over a year, while Zinc and Lead also tumbled -6.28% and -7.09% respectively.
Sentiment was further depressed by poor earnings from Chinese internet giant Tencent, announced around 11:00am London time. Revenue and profit both fell short of expectations, with the latter actually declining yoy. Exuberance around the tech sector accordingly cooled somewhat, as investor concerns about valuations and growth deceleration resurfaced. The NASDAQ index lagged other major indices in the US, falling -1.23% and the NYFANG index of the biggest tech companies shed -1.62%. Separately, Macy's posted solid earnings in the US, with sales and profits exceeding consensus, but the stock still traded -16.0% lower, impacted by investors' concerns on higher than expected cost growth and discounting of goods (YTD share price +39.5%). Elsewhere Sears (-13.1%) and JC Penney (-8.7%) also dropped in sympathy.
Developments in foreign exchange markets also weighed on equity markets yesterday. The Chinese yuan which had rallied a bit this morning broke above the closely-watched 6.90 level yesterday, and the weakening continued throughout the US trading session to touch an intraday level of over 6.95. This is the yuan's weakest level versus the dollar since last January, though the Chinese currency has remained stable over the last week against the authorities' tradeweighted basket. Asian currencies continued their recent outperformance versus other EM currencies thanks to this stability, but equity markets will probably remain attentive to the yuan's continued slide against the dollar, as it has had a strong negative relationship with US equities this year (i.e. higher/weaker dollar-yuan exchange rate is associated with weaker stocks). So far, the weaker yuan has not reflected capital outflow pressures like in 2015-2016, but it could signal underlying weakness in the Chinese economy. Further weakness also raises the odds of further, market-unfriendly rhetoric and policies from the US administration. Having said all this, our China economists published a piece this week where they pointed to a loosening of financial conditions, which are expected to have some stimulative effect on growth by 1H 2019. Meanwhile they believe the Yuan will be under further depreciation pressure and expect USDCNY to reach 6.95 by end-2018 and 7.40 by end-2019.
Back to yesterday, in fixed income Treasuries rallied along with German bunds. The 10-year Treasury closed at 2.86% and near the bottom of its recent range. The 2-year 10-year curve flattened back to 25 basis points, one basis points off of its recent low reached in mid-July. Bank stocks, which tend to perform better amid higher yields and a steeper curve, completely retraced yesterday's gains, though their bonds held up well. The CDX IG and HY indexes widened 1.3 and 5.7 basis points, respectively, and on a single-name basis, energy firms again underperformed.
Looking ahead to today, the euro area trade balance will print at 10:00am London time, followed by the August Philadelphia Fed PMI along with July building permits and housing starts data. Walmart, Gap, and Nordstrom will also report earnings.

1984, Total running time: 96 Minutes. Exempt from classification.
This compelling six-part series was originally produced for the Australian Heritage Commission to illustrate the skills required for authentic restoration of buildings. The episodes show conservation work at Coolamine Homestead complex in Kosciusko National Park, at the Garrison Holy Trinity Church at Millers Point in Sydney, the Sydney Technical College at Ultimo, the Collingwood Town Hall, Melbourne and examples of interior decoration and restoration at two historic private homes in Melbourne.
They feature master stonemason George Proudman, moulder Jack Thomas, stained glass artist Kevin Little, axemen Bill Boyd and Mark Garner, solid plasterer Larry Harrigan and interior decorators and restorers Elizabeth Stevens and Christine Cooke. In each film the craftsmen and women give their own explanation of their rare skills as the work proceeds and share the benefits of their experience and wisdom.
TIMBERCRAFT (16 Minutes) A detailed look at the restoration of the Coolamine Homestead in the Kosciuszko National Park. Constructed in 1883, the building is a very good example of a drop slab alpine ash timber hut. The process of restoration is explained in detail, including choosing the right tree, using traditional tools such as the cross-cut saw; the broadaxe; the adze; the drawknife; the maul and froe, and demonstrating what were once standard bush skills. The program features axemen Bill Boyd and Mark Garner who, like their families before them, have worked in the bush all their lives.
STONECRAFT (16 Minutes) Weathered stonework at the Sydney Technical College, built in 1891, is being restored and where necessary, replaced. The grey stone needed comes from Wondabyne Quarry. Stonemason George Proudman explains the process of restoration, from choosing the stone and tools required, to the methods used for fitting replacement stone.
GLASSCRAFT (16 Minutes) Like his father and grandfather, Kevin Little works with stained glass. This film gives a detailed description of the process of restoring damaged glass panels in the East Window at the Garrison Holy Trinity Church, Millers Point, Sydney. Designed by Henry Ginn in 1844, the first official Garrison Church is a small Gothic Revival stone building. Kevin Little vividly displays the time-honoured skills required for the authentic restoration of an ecclesiastical window. He guides the viewer through damage assessment and removal of window, glass selection, painting, staining, firing, leading up, polishing and installation of the restored window.
IRONCRAFT (16 Minutes) A detailed look at the making of cast iron lacework at a small iron foundry in Sydney. Jack Thomas, who has been working at the foundry since 1939, provides a tour through the process and with his workmates demonstrates the skills required. We see him restoring a delicately wrought corner frieze for a terrace house. His methods and equipment are those of the original master, creating a mould in sand, cleaning and preparing the traditional furnace, firing with wood and coke, melting the pig iron, pouring the molten metal into its mould and then carefully dressing the moulded metal. In this small workshop, the red hot metal and dim light give an unexpected glimpse of what iron work must have been like in the early years of the Industrial Revolution.
SOLID PLASTERING (16 Minutes) A look at the intricate and varied process of restoring and retaining the original ornamental plasterwork on heritage buildings. Larry Harrigan, a third generation plasterer originally from Ireland, has taken seven years to restore the old Collingwood Town Hall, Melbourne, which was very badly decayed.
DECORATIVE PAINT WORK (15 Minutes) Interior decorators and restorers Elizabeth Stevens and Christine Cooke demonstrate their skills restoring the Victorian and Art Deco decorative paintwork in a private house in Toorak, Melbourne, built in the 1880s. The film shows many beautiful, traditional decorative techniques, including stencilling, marbling, wood graining, simulated tortoiseshell and porphyry, and gold gilding.

When British producers Ricky Simmonds and Steve Jones joined together to form Lustral, they started a partnership that would last for over 15 years. Banking on genuine musicality and inspired concepts, the duo saw club and chart success with their very first record, 'Everytime', featuring Tracy Ackerman. That was in 1997 and since then the duo have produced various tracks under other aliases.
The album delivers heartfelt songs delivered by vocalists, writers, and musicians and at times, 'Empathy' feels more like a pop record than dance, which highlights the various sounds on the album. When the beat kicks back in, you remember listening to the first Lustral record so many years ago on Hooj Choons, and knowing then that these guys had the staying power to achieve a long and fruitful career.
The vocals on this album are provided by Ricky Simmonds, Abigail Bailey, and Laura Jenkins, and the blending of the talents of these performers is immediately apparent. From spacey grooves on 'When My Satellite Falls Down', to the driving trance of 'I Can't Wait', to the pop prowess of 'I Feel You', there's a massive spectrum of sounds and concepts here. It's out now on Armada and for those who've been tracking Lustral for a while, this album will be as new as it will be coming round full circle to where it all began. Check the mini mix below.


A healthy response would've been to tell myself she's having a great time and will call when she's on her way home. I didn't have a healthy response.
I leaked. Leaked all over the place. Leaked as in my boundaries were nowhere to be found, and hence what should have been kept in my head instead leaked all over our relationship.
I texted a pissy good night text saying I was going to bed and hoped she was having fun. Tough to tell tone via text, but anyone could have seen that I was pissy.
A leak = poor containment. I wasn't containing.
The scared, wounded little kid had his hands on the steering wheel. He was in charge, not me.
I called her. Told her how she had hurt me, that her lack of communication triggered my abandonment issues.
Today I can own my part, which was assuming, taking things personally, lack of containment, and blaming. My breach of containment led to all of this. There's growth because I can see my part, learn, and make amends.
There's growth because although I have an emotional hangover, I know in my heart that the relationship is not over. In years past I would have shut down and never recovered from something like this. Not the case today.
As my therapist told me (yes, I texted him about this), we have to make mistakes to learn and grow.
Relationships are tough, but I'd rather say relationships are rewarding if we're willing to look at our part and do the work. It's a daily practice. And not just with a significant other.
If daily is what's needed, then daily it is. Some days are better than others but still daily, nonetheless.

GUILTY! Raymond Lee Oyler is convicted of five counts of murder, along with numerous arson convictions for his part in starting the Esperanza Fire that claimed the lives of five federal firefighters. Many people, including California fire chiefs, are rethinking 'Stay and Defend' in light of the recent Australia bushfires. Over 200 firefighters have managed to nearly corral Arizona's first major wildfire of the season; while a wind-driven wildfire in New Mexico is about 60% contained. As part of their wildfire preparedness, Colorado's fire agencies are beefing up their aerial assets; followed by a summary of wildfire activity in Texas. Two articles out of Oklahoma today: their Emergency Services organization was activated, along with National Guard assets, to handle wildfires; while firefighters there barely managed to hold back a wildfire from houses in its path. A dozen small wind-driven wildfires kept things hopping in Ohio yesterday; but Kansas authorities are seeing the budgetary impact of wildfires in their state. Firefighters in Illinois had to deal with some wildfire activity. A wildfire in an upscale neighborhood on the island of Jamaica terrified homeowners; and fire agencies in Bhutan are recruiting volunteers to keep an eye on the local population in order to reduce forest fires there. In the wake of the Black Saturday bushfires, Australia's regulatory agencies are clamping down on fire codes; but once again a power company is called on the carpet about power lines starting a wildfire. And finally, a followup to yesterday's 'Fake Firefighters' story shows that no good deed goes unpunished!

CBRE, the world leader in commercial real estate services, has released a study investigating current trends in logistics real estate sector. Technological development, automation of logistics processes and urbanization leads to a rise of vertical warehouses. The largest multi-storey warehouses are seen mostly in Asia. In the Czech Republic, there is still more interested in large one storey warehouses.
Currently 54% of the world's population and nearly 74% of Europeans lives in cities. There is quite common for people to live and work in high, multi-storey buildings or in skyscrapers. That trend penetrates also into the logistics and there is growing an interest in vertical logistics solutions at a global level. Multi-level stores are popular in East Asian markets, where are in addition to the high population density cities also a lack of land. In Europe, there is not interested in vertical folds so massive and the local market are sophisticated vertical warehouses far more music of the future so far.
In the local market continues the demand for high-capacity one storey warehouses and distribution centers of XXL format. Currently we are facing a shortage of suitable land within the whole territory of the Czech Republic, mainly around the capital city. Companies are therefore interested in new locations outside of Prague and the Central Bohemian region. An example is the logistics center Mountpark Pilsen with 44,000 square meters of total area, whose construction was completed in the Pilsen region late last year.
The technology development and automation of logistical processes are the factors influencing the formation of vertical storages. Logistics companies use automation to optimize and streamline all operations of warehouse and supporting activities. That allows vertical utilization of storage space and storage and handling of goods at areas previously difficult to reach. The optimization is also related to the second reason why companies turn to vertical solutions, and that is finding the balance between labor costs and warehouse operations. You need to set what could be carried cheaper by robots and for what is human labor still needed. That wage growth and a shortage of qualified employees leads to the need for process automation.
Vertical construction solution of warehouses can be in two different forms. The first are the "high-bay" warehouses, including all logistic one storey buildings that exceed the common height of a standard logistics facility. The second option of vertical logistics are "multi-level" stores. Multi-level warehouses consisting of more than one floor, which greatly increases available floor space. Access to goods on the upper floors is possible from outside, via ramps for vehicles, or can be used an internal vertical solution with lifts, conveyor systems or internal ramps.

8 Crew Members From Hell You Don't Want On Your Next Flight
Jack Leonard
One of our recent blog posts, Don't Drink And Fly, showcased several passengers who found themselves in plenty of trouble because of alcohol. These were extreme examples, of course, but disruptive behaviour aboard aircraft is increasing at an alarming rate. Because the police have serious problems getting their cars up to 30,000ft, flight crews are expected to deal with such incidents in a professional manner. They are also expected to ensure that the safety of the aircraft is never compromised. Unlike the Ethiopian Airlines co-pilot who last week hijacked his own jet, they are not expected to be the reason for the disruption in the first place. This week we thought we'd have a look at some other flight crew who forgot this important fact.
What Happens If I Push This Button?
Studies show that fatigue impairs performance as much as sinking a few beers, so flight crew are encouraged to take rest in the cockpit whenever they feel overtired. However, the pilots of Air India Flight AI133 clearly misunderstood this sensible policy when they both took a power nap at the same time. In Business Class. According to the Times of India, they got two stewardesses to sit in their seats and 'operate' the aircraft in their absence. Unfortunately, one of the flight attendants accidentally turned off the autopilot and the pilots only just made it back before disaster struck.
Anti-Social Media, Russian Style
When the photo Tatiana Kozlenko posted of herself flipping the bird to 100 passengers behind their backs went viral, she was quickly dismissed by her furious employers. Although the Russian flight attendant initially denied it was her hand, she eventually admitted her guilt, apologised profusely and even pleaded for her job back. Incredibly, and almost certainly influenced by vodka, the Director General of Aeroflot agreed to reinstate Kozlenko because she was "just in love with the sky".
Excuse Me Sonny, Which Way To The Runway?
In 2012, authorities at London Heathrow airport grounded a LOT jet from Poland when a routine inspection found that both pilots were over the age of 60. Whilst every holder of a commercial licence has to undergo a medical exam on a regular basis, it is not unheard of for someone to pass one and then, a few weeks later, pass on. Regulators felt that introducing such a rule reduced the risk of both pilots meeting their maker on the same day, although that probably wasn't the only reason. Mental capability also deteriorates with age, and nobody wants pilots who forget where they're going half way across the Atlantic.

You Didn't Want That Child, Did You?
Invent a humane way to keep kids quiet on airplanes and you will earn millions overnight. Unfortunately, this Virgin Blue flight attendant's extremely effective method of placing a 17 month-old toddler into the overhead locker only earned him the sack. The toddler's mother, Natalie Williamson, kicked up a huge fuss and claimed she was too traumatised to fly again. She also told the entire world that her son, Riley, couldn't stop crying and was unable to leave her side without screaming "mum, mum, mum!" We're sure Williamson was only doing what she thought best for her child, but when the kids in his first school see this, poor Riley better get used to being jammed into lockers.
I Thought You Were The Designated Driver?
In 2005, two America West pilots were in court for attempting to operate an aircraft while under the influence of alcohol. They'd been drinking until 4am and turned up at the airport six hours later to fly their plane. Despite all evidence to the contrary, including positive blood tests, the defence team claimed their clients were innocent. Why? Because the aircraft was being pushed back by a tug when the police stopped the flight, so they weren't technically in control. Apparently, the judge thought the legal team wasn't technically in control either, and sent both pilots to prison.
Never Let The Passengers See You Sweat
It wasn't such a heavenly experience for passengers on board this Virgin Atlantic flight between London and Las Vegas. When the aircraft hit severe turbulence, an already alarming situation was made much worse when one of the flight attendants panicked and started shouting, "We're gonna crash!" As is often the case with bad turbulence, a large number of sick bags were used, though the article doesn't mention exactly how many changes of pants were required.
Steven Slater, a JetBlue steward who truly raised the bar when he quit his job. On what turned out to be his final flight into JFK, yet another rude passenger was one too many for Slater. He stormed back into the galley, shouted some choice words over the PA and then, stopping only to take two beers from the bar trolley, blew an evacuation slide and jumped. He then strolled across the tarmac to the staff parking lot, got into his car and drove home. When police finally caught up with him, he was in bed with his partner. Slater enjoyed a brief spell as a media celebrity and folk hero, before the courts hit him with probation and a $10,000 bill for damages.
Worth. Every. Penny.

Leanne Strong says:
You know who I would want as a crew member on my flight? Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger. He was the captain in "Miracle On The Hudson." That's what they call the incident where the US Airways plane went down in the Hudson River. Something happened to one of the engines (I think a bird got caught in one of the engines), and Sully made the lifesaving decision to land the plane in the Hudson. He also obviously knew what to do an a water landing.

Anyone know about getting appointed with Health Insurance I'm New York?
Before the aca the only "good" business was group and things haven't gotten any better after the aca.
My wife was in medical billing, and she's very interested in selling health insurance to our current clients. I, myself, don't know much about it, but she sees a market for it in our community. We just don't know what carriers to go for..
It's been some time, I'd figure I'd bump this. We're still looking for health insurance carriers that does individual health insurance..
I mean this as politely as possible, but you're going to be waiting until the end of time. There isn't really an individual health market in NY. If you are a glutton for punishment you could go to healthcare.gov and ask the carriers in your area if they want agents, but you're looking at getting into something that is a lot of work and pays poorly (if at all).
A paper route would be a better use of time.


KATIE: Ok, our next dancer is "Waffles." C'mon in, Waffles. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
WAFFLES: Uh, my name's Waffles? I'm almost 3 years-old?
WAFFLES: Uh, hobbies? Um, working out. I work out. With wand toys and red dots and stuff.
KATIE: Waffles, it says here you want to be a rancher. Don't you mean dancer?
KATIE: (talks softly to other judges) Well this is disappointing. This cat's got no experience. He doesn't even know what Chippendales is. Chicken? Seriously?
CHIP 'n' DALE: Got it.
KATIE: Ok, Waffles. Show us what you've got.
When we heard about Chip and Dale, the adoptable tuxedo brothers from PAWS, we couldn't help but giggle at their clever names. Growing up, Glogirly loved the Chip 'n' Dale cartoons. She still has a thing for chipmunks.
Fast forward to 1990... back when Saturday Night Live was must-see television. In October of that year Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze starred in what Glogirly thinks is the most hilarious comedy sketch EVER. If you've seen it, you know what we're talking about. If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to WATCH. If you live outside the US, click HERE to see the video.
Every Saturday we're featuring adoptable cats from PAWS Pet Animal Welfare Society in Norwalk, CT. in our TV Trip blog series. Through the magic of Photoshop, they'll join Katie and Waffles for some time-travel adventures in our TV Trip blog series.
Chip and his brother Dale are barely out of kitten hood at 1 year old. They're a playful and affectionate pair, once they get to know you. These sweet tuxedo brothers were found in a feral colony, but a volunteer lovingly fostered them and taught them the joys of being with people.
Chip 'n' Dale are looking for a forever home where they'll always be together. These handsome boys are available for adoption at PAWS, Pet Animal Welfare Society in Norwalk, Connecticut.
This is one of our favorite Caturday posts from 2015. We loved it so much we wanted to share it again. Since we originally posted it, Chip 'n' Dale have been adopted. But there are still many wonderful adult cats waiting at PAWS and shelters in your own neighborhoods for their forever homes. If you're ready to add a furry family member into your home, please consider adopting an adult cat.
Our Mommy remembers that sketch. Bwahaha!
MOL! Keep working it Waffles!!! You can do itt!
My human has seen that sketch, of course... but she had to watch it again. It made her sad, though, that both of them are gone now, even though she laughed lots.
Um, Waffles? You're gonna have to work harder to be like Patrick Swayze. Or even Chris Farley!
Thanks for featuring Chip and Dale!
Mom's favorite sketch too! The place she got her Tshirts made sell the cutest little cat collars just like Waffles is wearing. Too small for anyone in this house.
Purring hard for great homes for sweet Chip and Dale.
You would make a great Chickendale Waffles! I hope Chip and Dale get adopted soon. I couldn't watch the video because it is not available here.
Well, you do have some pawsome moves, Waffles.
I remember that sketch too. Too funny. The CHICKENdales made me laugh.
Awesome to see Chris Farley in action again. Not so awesome to see Waffles crash and burn like that. Keep your spirits up, Waffinator!
Finally you are playing the hunk of a man cat role that you were born for Waffles..lol..
Work it Waffles....we KNOW you can do it!!!!
Waffles has the 'moves' - that's for sure!


Beata Murawska's painting belongs to the tradition of Colourism. It is bound up with it and inspired by it so strongly that one is tempted to look for analogies or to quote the classics of the genre.
The paintings are vibrations of colour – powerful, saturated, dynamic colours are like the artist's signature. A signature and a display of true artistic mastery.
Everything is recognisable here: the landscape, the trees, the flowers. But copying nature is not the point. Even the truth of nature is not the point. The artist, known primarily as a 'tulip painter', really can exploit this favourite motif endlessly; yet the label 'tulip painter' sounds patronising and trivialises her art, her talent. Each painting is about solving specific colour problems. Each one has its own truth based on lived experience.
Each painting is like an allusion to reality, even though it is easy to give each one a concrete title. Beata Murawska could repeat after Jan Cybis: 'We don't illustrate: we create an equivalent, an object in paint that stirs the imagination.' It's not about imitation then, but about expression. Within the confines of a picture, a separate world comes into being, one that delights the viewer with its beauty. She knows just how to do it, how to create beautiful worlds. In the viewer this becomes a deeply-felt experience, not merely a shallow sensation.
It's no surprise, then, that Murawska is also drawn to the work of German Expressionists and that her most recent master is Emil Nolde, who painted sunsets as if he was swallowing them, as if they were burning his entrails. That lived experience again. There's even less deliberation here: painting flows like a wave set in motion by an impulse. It flows with colour and light.

Western Justice Center Honors Shaphan Roberts with Champion of Justice Award
The Western Justice Center honored Straus adjunct professor Shaphan Roberts at its annual Empower Gala with a Champion of Justice award. Founded in 1987, the Western Justice Center is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening communities by growing conflict-resolution skills for youth, educators, and neighborhood partners.
Professor Roberts teaches Cross-Cultural Dispute Resolution and Mediation and serves as the director of the Los Angeles City Attorney's Dispute Resolution Program (DRP). In this role, Roberts manages all of DRP's initiatives, including community mediation services and the Community Police Unification (CPU) Program, an interagency collaboration that aims to cultivate a better understanding between law enforcement and local communities. As part of his efforts in this program, he spearheaded the design of a responsivity tool that helps match mediators with mediation participants.
"We are incredibly proud of Shaphan's innovative work to resolve conflict and usher in peace across Los Angeles County, and we are excited that our students have a chance to learn from such a transformative leader in their course," said Sukhsimranjit Singh, who attended the event with Stephanie Blondell and Payton Silket ('20, MDR '21).
The Straus Institute collaborated with the Western Justice Center on its first-ever youth convening summit, in which its executive director, Elissa Barrett, served as a featured speaker along with staff members Shaun Gatlin and Arturo Magana. More information on the summit may be found at Straus Youth Summit.

Aryeh Leib Yellin (1820 in Jasionówka, Mońki County – April 2, 1886) (or Jelin [in Polish], Hebrew: אריה ליב יעלין) was rabbi of Bielsk Podlaski, Poland.

He was one of the most prominent Polish rabbis, to whom halakic matters were frequently referred for decision. He was the author of Kol Aryeh and Miẓpeh Aryeh, novellæ on various Talmudical tractates. His most important production is the Yefeh 'Enayim, (trans.: "beautiful eyes") giving the parallel passages found in the Babylonian Talmud, the Yerushalmi, the Midrashim, the Pesichtas, and other ancient rabbinic productions, occasionally with critical remarks which are of the greatest value to the rabbinic student. The Yefeh 'Enayim accompanies the Talmudic text in the new Talmud editions of the Romms of Wilna. Yellin left in manuscript many novellæ on the Talmud and a collection of responsa.
