GEORGI MASHEV 120th years since the birth of the artist
The exhibition organized to mark the 120th anniversary since Georgi Mashev's birth includes 49 works of art from different artistic periods. The main part of the collection belongs to Stanislav Dospevski City Art Gallery of Pazardjik and consists of 34 paintings and 11 drawings. Sofia City Art Gallery participates with four works from its fund.
A versatile personality and a learned artist, Georgi Mashev expresses his artistic activity into two basic but presumably opposing ways. On the one hand he is a master of portrait where his psychological insight combines with a subtle observation and a precise vivid drawing. On the other hand he's got paintings on fantastic and fairy-tale subjects where his unleashed imagination leads him to symbolic generalizations and emotional revelations. Another part of Mashev's works worth considering are his historic compositions which present realistic and vivid characters rich in dignity and grandeur. His keen social attitude becomes apparent in the artist's satirical works.
A contemporary of the symbolic influences in our art and the infatuation with secession and impressionism, Georgi Mashev doesn't remain indifferent to the aesthetic quests of our artists in the first half of the 20th century. Yet his mature works find their plastic support mainly in the precise realistic drawing which allows for an earthly rendering even of his fantastic pieces.
Georgi Mashev was born on 1st January, 1887 in the town of Pazardjik. Until the eighth grade he studied in his home town and in 1906 he finished First Male Secondary School in Sofia. In the autumn of the same year he started attending the general Department of the School of Drawing (the present National Art Academy) under Prof. Petko Klisourov. For a short period of time he studied at the Petersburg Art Academy and then between 1909-1910 in the Special Department of Painting in Brussels under Prof. Edmond Richard. In 1912 he graduated from the Department of Painting of the School of Drawing under the professors Ivan Murkvichka, Stefan Ivanov and Ivan Angelov. He worked as a teacher in Second Male Secondary School in Sofia and then in Tsaribrod. In September 1915 Georgi Mashev organized his first solo exhibition in Sofia, which went off with great success. Right after Bulgaria got involved in WWI he was appointed military artist of the Cavalry division. In 1916-1917 he took part in the exhibition of Bulgarian artists in Berlin. After the end of WWI he worked as a teacher in Pazardjik where in 1920 he opened his second solo exhibition and took part in the exhibition of the Society of South-Bulgarian Artists. Between 1932-1945 Mashev organized solo exhibitions in Sofia, Plovdiv, Pazardjik and in 1945-1946 he took part in the general exhibitions of the Pazardjik artists. He died on 10th August, 1946.
Boris Missirkov, Georgi Bogdanov ON THE TRACKS OF THE BRIGHT FUTURE
Boris Misirkov and Georgi Bogdanov (together with: Dimitar Bojilov – interviews; Sandra Klincheva – Styling; Tsveti Hristova –make-up and hair-style) develop the On the Tracks of the Bright Future sequence inspired by the topic Cliché as Identity presented at the Visual Seminar*. The two authors are trying to find out those common grounds that create the image of the contemporary Bulgarian. They do not probe into any particular subjects but rather resort to the dreams as the most favourable territory which will enable them to identify the target group of people. These are 17-19 year-old youngsters, mainly students in the high grades, who are at the threshold of real life but are not yet active participants in it.
The conversations with the interviewees are based on the questions: 'What would you like to become in the future?' and 'How do you imagine yourself in 20-30 years' time?' and the photographs present a visualization of some of these ideas about the future.
Boris Misirkov and Georgi Bogdanov give flesh and blood to dreams and offer a chance for those who dream to see their own forecasts come true. From the numerous interviews they have picked up only those answers which are indicative of the general trends and yet transcend the boundaries of the conventional. From here on the team builds up the images using some cinema techniques in creating a non-commercial product. The fantasies of the participants intertwine with the imagination of the authors to create something which is on the verge of reality and fiction. In the last phase of the project the characters face their own dreams while Boris Misisrkov and Georgi Bogdanov record their reactions. Are they going to like themselves or reconsider their own ideals? Are they going to stick to the cliché notion of prosperity or try to detach from it? To what extent does the visual cliché determine the mentality of whole strata and generations? These are only some of the questions Boris Misirkov and Georgi Bogdanov pose to the public.
*The Visual Seminar project was carried out in the period 2003-2006 as an initiative of the Institute of Contemporary Art – Sofia in co-operation with the Centre for Advanced Studies – Sofia. It was supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation within the framework of the relations programme.
Krassimir Terziev. Background Action
Background Action is a spatial narrative that reconstructs a journey into film making and the imposition of war in a globalized mode of film production industry.
It was a three month long journey taken by 300 Bulgarian men, hired by Warner Bros as "specialised extras" for the filming of the battlescenes of the motion picture Troy (2004).
The Bulgarians were hired to represent ancient warriors from the Greek and Trojan tribes in the epic war, described by Homer in the Iliad, that was to be brought to life again by the movie Troy.
And as in the Iliad, where the entire Book 2 is dedicated to the narration of the alias of the Achaean and Trojan armies hired from all the lands in Homeric world, the 300 Bulgarians were hired along with 1000 Mexican extras to stage that war. The only difference is that they had to battle both sides depending on the filming plans of the day.
Most of them made the journey with the idea to see how the movies are made, to see Mexico and to meet the great movie-stars. Some of them hoped they might be picked up and developed in the movie-business.
In fact the trip to the movie-world turned out to be a constant shift of the way they perceived their roles.
The extras were totally confused by the technique of film-making. From Mexico itself, they only saw a piece of a few square kilometers of desert where the film-set was built
and where they spent 12 to 14 hours a day under the scorching sun. The stars were severely guarded, if they were ever there.
What was left as a memorable experience were the battle scenes that went completely out of control and became very real, with injuries and real blood on top of the emulated make-up, running horses and showers of arrows.
So that by the end of the filming, Warner Brother's simplistic vision whereby the extras could be misrecognised as Greeks and Trojans became reality, and they became that ancient warriors in order to survive the actual fights. Just like the warriors from Iliad they brought home their trophies and ransoms in the shape of photos and video recordings.
These are the images in focus in the installation "Background Action". They stand on a shaking ground between touristic photographs, and documents of hyperreal events and environments.
Epic scenes, coming from an ancient world, recreated by perfectly designed sets and costumes are suddenly ruptured by objects, gestures and practices from the everyday world.
The combination of these trophy-images with the personal stories of the extras, maps of the production activities and metaphoric figures creates a narrative that questions selfidentification
in a war staged by globalized film industry that far exceeds the boundaries of the motion picture.

Guo Allen's Girls Challenge Let Netizens Play Hi
2019年1月8日 by weimiaow·Comments Off on Guo Allen's Girls Challenge Let Netizens Play Hi
In the 28th round of the League match, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team won 119-87 away to the North Control Men's Basketball Team, winning 17 consecutive wins.
However, the focus of people's attention is not the competition itself, but the "CBA first net red" Guo Allen sent the classic "coquettish" expression pack.
When the fourth quarter just played 7 seconds, Guo Allen held the ball in the midline position, Li Xiaoxu
came to do the block, Shulong was blocked, Zhang Minghao destroyed the ball when he shot and grabbed it.
But the referee gave the ball to the North Control Men's Basketball Team. At this time, Guo Allen quit. He ran excitedly from the left side of the
venue to Guo Shiqiang standing on the right side of the venue and asked Guo Shiqiang to apply for video playback.
At this time, the score was 100-74. Liaoning Men's Basketball Team completely crushed the opponent. Guo Allen was so excited. Guo
Shiqiang was reluctant to play back the video at first, because it was still early to the end of the game, and he still led by a big score.
Perhaps it is reluctant to see his old uncle, Guo Allen also pulled up Guo Shiqiang's sleeve, like a spoiled child, Guo Shiqiang could not laugh or cry.
He and Guo Shiqiang were just like two parents who wanted candy children. They were ready to watch the
video playback with laughter. Finally, the referee awarded the weight of the ball to Liaoning Men's Basketball Team.
Although the game was over, Guo Allen's "coquettish" facial pack became popular. After the game, he wrote
on his personal social platform: "This is not a funny thing. Don't laugh.

2019年1月4日 by weimiaow·Comments Off on "As you command, Sire." Maege Mormont had ridden south
"As you command, Sire." Maege Mormont had ridden south with Robb, Jon knew. Her eldest daughter had joined the Young Wolf's host as well. Even if both of them
had died, however, Lady Maege had other daughters, some with children of their own. Had they gone with Robb as well? Surely Lady Maege would have left at
least one of the older girls behind as castellan. He did not understand why Lyanna should be writing Stannis, and
could not help but wonder if the girl's answer might have been different if the letter had been sealed with a direwolf
instead of a crowned stag, and signed by Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell. It is too late for such misgivings. You made your choice.
"Two score ravens were sent out," the king complained, "yet we get no response but silence and defiance. Homage is the duty every leal subject owes his king. Yet
your father's bannermen all turn their back on me, save the Karstarks. Is Arnolf Karstark the only man of honor in the north?"
Arnolf Karstark was the late Lord Rickard's uncle. He had been made the castellan of Karhold when his nephew
and his sons went south with Robb, and he had been the first to respond to King Stannis's call for homage, with a raven
declaring his allegiance. The Karstarks have no other choice, Jon might have said. Rickard Karstark had betrayed the direwolf and spilled the blood of lions.
The stag was Karhold's only hope. "In times as confused as these, even men of
honor must wonder where their duty lies. Your Grace is not the only king in the realm demanding homage."

paralleled the move in his cage in afluid, effortless motion. He crouched and lay
still, his slowlymoving tail the only sign of tension.
Babu stepped up to the trapdoor
between the cages andstarted pulling it open. In anticipation of satisfaction, Mahishafell silent. I heard two things at that moment: Father saying"Never forget

2018年12月27日 by weimiaow·Comments Off on Towards the end of recent years, it is also about to
Towards the end of recent years, it is also about to usher in
a small tourism peak. It should have been a happy moment for the hotel industry. However, following the "Towel Gate" incident, a few days ago, the hotel industry has collectively fallen into the "Bed Gate" – News exposure, the "violent steaming white"
of the hotel bed sheets, the mixed washing of bloody linen and club underwear, exposed washing companies and 7 days, such as home and brocade. Jiang and other well-known hotel chains have had business.
First Financial Reporter interviewed many people on December 27 to learn that similar "bed sheet door" incidents did not happen for the first time. Most economic hotel chains and even some three-star and four-star hotels will adopt outsourcing washing mode,
because the cost of self-built washing system is too high, usually only five-star hotels adopt self-built washing system. Under the
outsourcing mode, supervision and hygiene safety are difficult to control. Hotels only check the qualifications and spot checks of washing companies. Whether bedsheets are cleaned or not depends almost entirely on the conscience of washing companies.
How much do you know about cloth washing?
In the hotel industry, cloth is a professional term, referring to almost everything related to "cloth" in modern hotels, including
hotel bedding: such as sheets, quilts, pillowcases, pillow cores, quilts, decorative fabrics, etc; hotel bathroom products: such as towels, towels, bathrobes, etc; hotel restaurant textiles: such as table cloth, mouth cloth, chair covers, etc.
A hotel has a lot of used cloth to clean every day.
"Think about it, a hotel has at least 100 rooms (a small boutique hotel may have dozens of single project rooms). Some hotels have hundreds of rooms, each room has sheets, quilts, pillowcases, bath towels, etc. It used to be changed every day. Now it pays
attention to environmental protection, so it is necessary to produce a lot of cloth and grass to be cleaned every day. Therefore, if the hotel has to clean itself, it will cost a lot to buy washing equipment and maintain it. Therefore, in the hotel industry, economic hotel chains,
as well as many three-star hotels, even four-star hotels with relatively low prices will take cloth washing outsourcing. Only luxury five-star hotels will adopt self-built washing system. Zhang Jun (not his real name) has been a manager of a large hotel chain for many years,
he told the First Financial Journalist.
After interviewing and consulting the public information, the first financial reporter learned that there are many washing companies on the market. Usually, the business scope of these washing companies will include washing Hotel bedsheets, quilts, towels and customer
service washing; washing restaurant tablecloths, mouth cloths, kitchen clothes and chair covers; washing bathroom towels, bath towels, bathrobes and bathrobes; washing towels, bath towels, gowns and beauty parlors. Beauty sheets; gym towels, bath towels; factories:
group uniforms, work clothes dry cleaning wet cleaning. Namely, there are hotels, hotels, baths, restaurants, beauty parlors, gyms, factories, resorts, business clubs and so on.
According to the relevant requirements, different types of cloth should be washed separately, and professional cleaning products harmless to human body should be used. Clean and polluted cloth must be placed separately. According to public information, there are
three kinds of commonly used washing products: one is block, such as soap, transparent soap, composite soap; the other is powder, such as laundry powder, natural soap powder; the third is liquid, such as detergent, liquid soap, bath milk, shampoo, etc. The products of
regular enterprises have specific fragrance, transparent liquid products, no suspended matter (non-transparent uniform, non-stratified); block products have uniform organization and pleasant color; powder products have uniform color and no impurities. The average net content of liquid and powdery products is up to the standard.
However, as can be seen in the video of the washing company that was exposed, the washing company mixed different kinds of cloth, even mixed bloody cloth and club underwear with mixed washing, clean and polluted cloth. The worst thing is that the washing
products used by the washing company belong to the "violent whitening" of chemical products, which are not really clean, but appear to be white on the surface. It is also harmful to human skin.
The battle of outsourcing
First Financial Journalist contacted relevant hotels, such as Home and other hotels, said that the exposure of the above news and facts are different, the specific situation is being processed.
This is not the first time that the hotel industry has been exposed such incidents. Years ago, seven days ago, Huazhu and other washing companies were also accused of problems with their cooperation. At that time, seven days ago, the hotel said that there was a regulatory loophole in the implementation of the hotel, requiring the hotel concerned to immediately replace the designated large-scale washing supplier
with the national environmental
assessment qualification. In the future,
it will add PH value testing to the hotel.
The cloth was sampled.

Six younger children finally responded to the various
2018年12月27日 by weimiaow·Comments Off on Six younger children finally responded to the various
Six younger children finally responded to the various "black material"
questioning circulated on the Internet, which he himself considered to be a personal insult. Indeed, there are too many rumors about six-year-olds on the Internet, and even a lot of black material. Six-year-old children are still nearly out of security after being black. He himself said that these black materials can not be tolerated! uuuuuuuuuuu
Recently, a six-year-old boy was interviewed by the media. He said that he could not make sarcasm or humiliate me. Now it's all behind the scenes. We should stop there. Even now all doubts are not created by one person, but by a very bad organization. This is what someone called for.
In addition, six-year-olds also expressed the hope of realizing the real-name system on the Internet. Everyone publishes their names, contact information and opportunities for face-to-face communication with you.
The response of six-year-olds has attracted much attention again.
In the eyes of six young children, the real-name system on the Internet is a very necessary thing, so that the screen is blackened, is basically rumored. If there is doubt, it can be face-to-face communication, there is no need to spread rumors so casually.
Not to mention whether it was blackened or not, online rumors are really terrible, because nobody knows who is spreading rumors on the other side of the screen. There are also many people who bear cyber violence for no reason, which is very terrible.
And the reason why six-year-old children say that there are small groups of black themselves is mainly because there are too many black materials about him.
Now as long as you search for six-year-olds, you will find that many people summed up the speeches of six-year-olds on different occasions, saying that he relies on a paragraph to walk all over the world. Travel to the West alone is a work that can last a lifetime.
Even some netizens said that the success of Journey to the West is the joint efforts of the director and the crew, not the credit of one person, and that six young children should not dominate the limelight alone.
Everyone's doubts make six-year-olds almost out of security for the evening festival, and the situation of being black is really very serious.
If you look carefully, you will find that some of these statements are really very unfriendly, and there are even suspicions that they are taken out of context. No wonder six younger children themselves are unwilling to do so.
Although there is no real-name system on the Internet, you should be careful when speaking. Your little words may cause great harm to others. This is a terrible situation.
Questions are okay,
but they need to be justified.
It is not advisable to make
a rumor out of nothing.

The time of Shanghai Metro passenger's death actually
2018年12月26日 by weimiaow·Comments Off on The time of Shanghai Metro passenger's death actually
The time of Shanghai Metro passenger's death actually happened yesterday.
Many local people should have known about the accident at that time. Especially the people who witnessed the life and death at the scene at that time could hardly sleep well last night after witnessing the scene.
Today, the subway accident got on the hot search, because many people don't know the truth as much as I do. And we commuters often take the subway to and from work,
so when we see such keywords, we will naturally point in to see the process of the incident, whether it is caused by the passengers'ignorance of safety or what happened to the train.
Although the number of injured in a train accident is usually not the same, we still want to know exactly. Originally, the reason for this incident was that the passengers overturned the electric railings without authorization. The driver of the train immediately took emergency
braking measures when he found out, but when the train stopped, it had already crossed two passenger compartments. The passenger was thus stuck between the No. 29 electric railing gate and the train. When 120 arrived, the passenger was declared dead directly.
In that instant, a vivid life passed before your eyes. No one knows why she has to climb over the railings and no one has time to organize her unsafe behavior. Other trains were delayed
because of the accident, reminding the public to arrange their own itinerary.
Subway is indeed a good way to travel, which not only greatly reduces our time cost, but also requires relatively low transportation costs. Even if you take a taxi, there will be no subway to get to your destination faster, and it will cost less.
There are not many metro cities in China, because there are many rigid conditions to meet the standards. I also choose to travel by subway every day when I live in Chengdu, because this
way I can not only go straight at two o'clock, but also only take more than ten minutes. Compared with an hour on the bus, it really greatly facilitates my life. Although buses are cheaper, going out half an hour late every day must be a great happiness for office workers like us, especially in the cold winter.
It is not the first time that passengers broke the safety door, but it is the first time that such casualties have occurred. Those who ignore warnings and safety tips always think it's okay,
as long as they break it, the door won't close. However, it is neglected that the subway is not a bus, and the length and operation of the subway are essentially different from that of the bus.
The last time I saw this scene on Chengdu Metro Line 2, two ethnic minorities from other places, they are a man and a woman. It is not clear what kind of relationship they have. At the moment of
the subway closing, the man broke the door with his bare hands and was stuck in the middle when he failed to break it for the second time. At this time, he was dragged out directly by
the security guards outside the door. The reason is that the female companion along the way has been on the subway, and the female companion has not prevented him from such dangerous behavior.
There are many unexpected accidents in life, but dangerous actions like this are self-inflicted. Not every ignorance can be favored by luck, so please exercise self-discipline first. Don't add more risks to your life or cause other people's losses because of your irrational behavior. Be a civilized driver when driving, an old driver who does not violate the rules when driving, and a social
person who obeys the rules and regulations in life.
If each of us manages our own emotions and
behaviors well, then the society
will naturally be more harmonious and happy.

He was almost there when his crutch snapped beneath his weight, and his legs went out from under him.
How long he sprawled there with his blood reddening the snow Varamyr could not have said. The snow will bury me. It would be a peaceful death. They say you feel
warm near the end, warm and sleepy.
It would be good to feel warm again, though it made him sad to think that he would never see the green lands, the warm lands
beyond the Wall that Mance used to sing about. "The world beyond the Wall is not for our kind," Haggon used to say. "The free folk fear skinchangers, but they honor us as
well. South of the Wall, the kneelers hunt us down and butcher us like pigs."
There near the end was the long hangar with the pilots' quarters close by. The middle of the ground was marked off for landing, runways, lights and signals. Further along,
to one side were the special houses for special planes; Nike used to occupy one of them, and beyond them was the huge factory building, nearly all glass, with the executive and other offices facing the road. If she closed her eyes for a moment,
Roberta could picture every inch of the whole plant. Here and there were animated-looking objects which she knew were men or women workers; the bus and one of the
company's cars were racing along like a couple of toys. Resolutely she turned her face away and applied herself with determination to the task at hand. Once56 she noticed
that Mrs. Pollzoff was looking at her in the mirror, but she smiled behind her goggles. She wasn't going to let her passenger know how she felt about being separated from her former work, its varied interests, and happy companionships.

Far away, a wolf gave howl.
A shiver went through Varamyr. He knew that howl as well as Lump had once known his mother's voice. One Eye. He was the oldest of his three, the biggest, the
fiercest. Stalker was leaner, quicker, younger, Sly more cunning, but both went in fear of One Eye. The old wolf was fearless, relentless, savage.
Varamyr had lost control of his other beasts in the agony of the eagle's death. His shadowcat had raced into the woods, whilst his snow bear turned her claws on those
around her, ripping apart four men before falling to a spear. She would have slain Varamyr had he come within her reach. The bear hated him, had raged each time he wore her skin or climbed upon her back.
His wolves, though …
"That's what we want," Mrs. Langwell told him, then turned to her daughter. "That is our telephone, dear."
"I'll go and answer it," Roberta replied, and ran to the house as fast as she could. The bell was still ringing so she knew that the party had not been discouraged over the
delay and given up getting in touch with the family. "Hello," she spoke into the phone.
"I wish to speak with Miss Langwell," came the reply, and although the voice sounded familiar, Roberta could not recognize it immediately.

Varamyr, the warg, the skinchanger, it is not right that she should live and I should die." No one answered. There was no one there. Thistle was gone. She had abandoned him, the same as all the rest.
His own mother had abandoned him as well. She cried for Bump, but she never cried for me. The morning his father pulled him out of bed to deliver him to Haggon,
she would not even look at him. He had shrieked and kicked as he was dragged into the woods, until his father slapped him and told him to be quiet. "You belong with
your own kind," was all he said when he flung him down at Haggon's feet.
He was not wrong, Varamyr thought, shivering. Haggon taught me much and more. He taught me how to hunt and fish, how to butcher a carcass and bone a fish, how to
find my way through the woods. And he taught me the way of the warg and the secrets of the skinchanger, though my gift was stronger than his own.
decided to lighten things up a bit in the vicinity of the beloved airplane and its owner. In spite of the excitement and terror, the girl was so weary that she dropped
off to sleep at once and it was late when she awakened. To her amazement she heard voices in the vicinity of the hangar, but when she hopped out of bed, she saw

Senator's former chief-of-staff arrested over child porn videos is found dead after hanging himself – It is shocking how many prosecutors and politicians–and others who travel in such circles–arrested for child porn "commit suicide." There's never any testimony. No trial. No leads to involvement by other higher up.
It's just always a lone guy, who after being arrested, getting the overwhelming urge to kill himself. The depravity of child pornography didn't phase these guys. But that arrest! That's a cause for despondency.
That's a real killer!
It's not a perfect correlation between someone in the political world being arrested for child porn and their suicide.
But it's fairly close to a perfect correlation.

IN THE EMAIL – One is gone for several hours and the email seems to be overflowing…
1– Got an invitation to write a review about something called WatchBot. WB "has a unique 30 second set-up time and works wirelessly to enable you to watch your sleeping child in bed, keep an eye on the dog while at work or simply feel reassured when you leave the office or shop at night, perfect for those going away for Christmas The WatchBot features include a motion sensor; two-way audio; remote control function from your pc, smartphone or tablet; night vision."
It's fairly certain there would be no interest on the part of the WatchBot folks to read what this writer would have to say about their product–beginning with the creepy logo. Interested readers may check it out at the link.
2– A promo from a pro-life group for a new movie which hit theaters Friday "Gimme Shelter." The email promised that pro-lifers would find the movie "powerful" and that it would "save lives."
"Supporting this movie will not only save lives, but it will reveal the untold story of the crisis pregnancy. It is telling that today, days after the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, this life-affirming film is hitting theaters nation-wide with the world's biggest stars!"
(Guess they forgot to mention that it was the 42nd anniversary of Roe v Wade.)
Just a thought: How could any film named after a song by the satanic Rolling Stones possibly be a life-affirming experience? Gimme Shelter was a blood-and-gore, rape-loot-and-pillage song. The chorus features the female singer "repeatedly singing "Rape, murder; It's just a shot away, It's just a shot away,"
The email was correct: that is powerful.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
This is how the professional pro-life movement works: Collect lots of money, everybody act busy and 42 years later, they're still sending letters promising "One more supreme court judge and we'll beat this thing yet–we just need a little bit more money to put us over the top."
And now this is their proposed solution: hyping a Hollywood movie as a way to "send a message"?
"I want to see the Personhood movement support this film at the box office this weekend and make it the #1 film in America!"
After 40 years, any message that isn't "Abortion has been illegal for the last 35 years" is a message doesn't need an immense fundraising machine to send. After the complete and utter failure of the pros in the pro-life movement to achieve any rollback to the murders, how can they ask for another penny or another meaningless march?
The professional pro-lifers are always all about "symbolic" gestures proclaimed as "victories." And they are very familiar with symbolic victories– because they don't have any actual ones to celebrate.
After spending the last 42 years peddling a political solution for a spiritual problem, the pro-lifers' have achieved only three wins:
1- They have succeeded in incrementally regulating murder in some states;
2- They play a mean game of "rope-a-dope" with the pro-aborters, each using the other to scare money from its side; and consequentially,
3- They have pried a ton of cash from the wallets of well-meaning Americans.
If the pro-abortion side didn't exist, the pro-life professionals would have had to invented them–just for the fundraising.
In 1972 when the supreme court imposed abortion on the USA, practically the entire country was against abortion. It's hard to see how the pro-life movement could have been defeated any worse if the abortion folks had been running things.
It's almost like they were just pretending to fight.
Like they wanted to lose.
While there's been a shortage of victories, there's never been a shortage of reasons why nothing has happened in the last 42 years to stop the slaughter. Not once have they ever run out of reasons they have been so totally, abjectly, unconditionally unsuccessful.
By all means, take the entire family to see their movie.
At least then someone can claim a victory.
3– The Super Bowl, America's second-biggest secular holiday–second only to Christmas–is coming up next week and here's a website which has videos of the Super Bowl ads. Well, that's not quite true. Although the website is called "2014 Super Bowl Ads" it doesn't have any videos of the actually ads. What it DOES have are the "teaser videos" for the Super Bowl ads. That's how far gone we are: the commercials have their own video trailers to entice viewers to tune in to watch the genuine full-length commercials.
4- Working through these new 99 emails takes a little while!
5– An email from a organization asking the recipient to sign onto their website and take a poll. "Are Democrats tyrants?"
6– Another Tea Party group is offering a comparison of the words of Lenin, Stalin and Obama.
7– A company sent something they're calling an "Online Reputation Management Proposal." They are offering
Suspension of Negative Listing or Complaints about Brands from Google Search Results
1st Page Result Management – Positive Reputation Enhancement
Positive Review Marketing (text and video)
Online Image Management of Individuals – Personal Branding
Business Collateral Marketing
Online Business Visibility Management
This might be something we need to take a pass on. If one is so worried about their "online reputation," one probably should not venture onto the Internet.
8– Received word that on December 31, 2013 End Times Prophecy Report jumped among the world's busiest 58000 sites for the day. On the last day of 2013, God sent almost 90,000 readers–and over 2000 read one of the site's salvation messages.

And yet, many Christians depend on the US constitution more than the Bible. It started in the 1979 with the Moral Majority. That's the point that many Christians traded in the power of the cross for the power of the ballot box. 35 years later, I think we can all agree.
It was a lousy trade.

Judy has been my massage therapist for over ten years. She came highly recommended from hospital staff and I continue my treatments with the blessing of my rheumatologists as a part of my overall therapies.
She is not only skillful, a true professional, but also extremely sensitive to my particular health and joint limitations.
Since adding a heat component(which is deeper and more beneficial) to the regular massage modality, I have benefited even more both physically as well as mentally. This massage therapy is an integral part in my "feeling better' and being healthier.
I can't believe it! After two months of Physical Therapy for a stiff neck, you made such a difference in my life. I felt significant improvement after my first visit, and 100% improved after just two more treatments. I only wish I had found you when the pain first started. Thank You! You are amazing!
I was very nervous when I finally made my first appointment. Due to my "plus size", I was / am a bit self conscious. You are a true professional. Once I was on your table, you helped me to relax, you taught me to breathe. I completely forgot that I am typically a self conscious person! Thank you for helping me to recognize my stressors, to breathe, and to feel better as a whole person.
Thank you for being you. As a man in the executive world, it is not always easy to stop and relax. You have a special way of making the world stop for an hour. I am officially hooked on massage therapy. It has helped not just me, but my family unit also benefits from the "better me". I just thought you should know that you do make a difference.
While I was swimming competitively my treatment modality of choice was massage therapy. I experienced benefits in and out of the pool.

How Monsanto Went From Selling Aspirin to Controlling Our Food Supply
Monsanto controls our food, poisons our land, and influences all three branches of government.
Forty percent of the crops grown in the United States contain their genes. They produce the world's top selling herbicide. Several of their factories are now toxic Superfund sites. They spend millions lobbying the government each year. It's time we take a closer look at who's controlling our food, poisoning our land, and influencing all three branches of government. To do that, the watchdog group Food and Water Watch recently published a corporate profile of Monsanto.
Patty Lovera, Food and Water Watch assistant director, says they decided to focus on Monsanto because they felt a need to "put together a piece where people can see all of the aspects of this company."
"It really strikes us when we talk about how clear it is that this is a chemical company that wanted to expand its reach," she says. "A chemical company that started buying up seed companies." She feels it's important "for food activists to understand all of the ties between the seeds and the chemicals."
Monsanto the Chemical Company
Monsanto was founded as a chemical company in 1901, named for the maiden name of its founder's wife. Its first product was the artificial sweetener saccharin. The company's own telling of its history emphasizes its agricultural products, skipping forward from its founding to 1945, when it began manufacturing agrochemicals like the herbicide 2,4-D.
Prior to its entry into the agricultural market, Monsanto produced some harmless – even beneficial! – products like aspirin. It also made plastics, synthetic rubber, caffeine, and vanillin, an artificial vanilla flavoring. On the not-so-harmless side, it began producing toxic PCBs in the 1930s.
According to the new report, a whopping 99 percent of all PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, used in the U.S. were produced at a single Monsanto plant in Sauget, IL. The plant churned out toxic PCBs from the 1930s until they were banned in 1976. Used as coolants and lubricants in electronics, PCBs are carcinogenic and harmful to the liver, endocrine system, immune system, reproductive system, developmental system, skin, eye, and brain.
Even after the initial 1982 cleanup of this plant, Sauget is still home to two Superfund sites. (A Superfund site is defined by the EPA as "an uncontrolled or abandoned place where hazardous waste is located, possibly affecting local ecosystems or people.") This is just one of several Monsanto facilities that became Superfund sites.
Monsanto's Shift to Agriculture
Despite its modern-day emphasis on agriculture, Monsanto did not even create an agricultural division within the company until 1960. It soon began churning out new pesticides, each colorfully named under a rugged Western theme: Lasso, Roundup, Warrant, Lariat, Bullet, Harness, etc.
Left out of Monsanto's version of its historical highlights is an herbicide called Agent Orange. The defoliant, a mix of herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, was used extensively during the war in Vietnam. The nearly 19 million gallons sprayed in that country between 1962 and 1971 were contaminated with dioxin, a carcinogen so potent that it is measured and regulated at concentrations of parts per trillion. Dioxin was created as a byproduct of Agent Orange's manufacturing process, and both American veterans and Vietnamese people suffered health problems from the herbicide's use.
Monsanto's fortunes changed forever in 1982, when it genetically engineered a plant cell. The team responsible, led by Ernest Jaworski, consisted of Robb Fraley, Stephen Rogers, and Robert Horsch. Today, Fraley is Monsanto's executive vice president and chief technology officer. Horsch also rose to the level of vice president at Monsanto, but he left after 25 years to join the Gates Foundation. There, he works on increasing crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa. Together, the team received the National Medal of Technology from President Clinton in 1998.
The company did not shift its focus from chemicals to genetically engineered seeds overnight. In fact, it was another 12 years before it commercialized the first genetically engineered product, recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH), a controversial hormone used to make dairy cows produce more milk. And it was not until 1996 that it first brought genetically engineered seeds, Roundup Ready soybeans, onto the market.
By 2000, the company had undergone such a sea change from its founding a century before that it claims it is almost a different company. In Monsanto's telling of its own history, it emphasizes a split between the "original" Monsanto Company and the Monsanto Company of today. In 2000, the Monsanto Company entered a merger and changed its name to Pharmacia. The newly formed Pharmacia then spun off its agricultural division as an independent company named Monsanto Company.
Do the mergers and spinoffs excuse Monsanto for the sins of the past committed by the company bearing the same name? Lovera does not think so. "I'm sure there's some liability issues they have to deal with – their various production plants that are now superfund sites," she responds. "So I'm sure there was legal thinking about which balance sheet you put those liabilities on" when the company split. She adds that the notion that today's Monsanto is not the same as the historical Monsanto that made PCBs is "a nice PR bullet for them."
But, she adds, "even taking that at face value, that they are an agriculture company now, they are still producing seeds that are made to be used with chemicals they produce." For example, Roundup herbicide alone made up more than a quarter of their sales in 2011. The proportion of their business devoted to chemicals is by no means insignificant.
Monsanto's pesticide product line includes a number of chemicals named as Bad Actors by Pesticide Action Network. They include Alachlor (a carcinogen, water contaminant, developmental/reproductive toxin, and a suspected endocrine disruptor), Acetochlor (a carcinogen and suspected endocrine disruptor), Atrazine (a carcinogen and suspected endocrine disruptor), Clopyralid (high acute toxicity), Dicamba (developmental/reproductive toxin), and Thiodicarb (a carcinogen and cholinesterase inhibitor).
Roundup: The Benign Herbicide?
Defenders of Monsanto might reply to the charge that Roundup is no Agent Orange. In fact, the herbicide is viewed as so benign and yet effective that its inventor, John E. Franz, won the National Medal of Technology. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, kills everything green and growing, but according to Monsanto, it only affects a metabolic pathway in plants, so it does not harm animals. It's also said to break down quickly in the soil, leaving few traces on the environment after its done its job.
Asked about the harmlessness of Roundup, Lovera replies, "That's the PR behind Roundup – how benign it was and you can drink it and there's nothing to worry about here. There are people who dispute that." For example there is an accusation that Roundup causes birth defects. "We don't buy the benign theory," continues Lovera, "But what's really interesting is that we aren't going to be having this conversation pretty soon because Roundup isn't working anymore."
Lovera is referring to "Roundup-resistant weeds," weeds that have evolved in the past decade and a half to survive being sprayed by Roundup. Nearly all soybeans grown in the United States is Monsanto's genetically engineered Roundup Ready variety, as are 80 percent of cotton and 73 percent of corn. Farmers spray entire fields with Roundup, killing only the weeds while the Roundup Ready crops survive. With such heavy use of Roundup on America's farmfields, any weed – maybe one in a million – with an ability to survive in that environment would survive and pass on its genes in its seeds.
By 1998, just two years after the introduction of Roundup Ready soybeans, scientists documented the first Roundup-resistant weed. A second was found in 2000, and three more popped up in 2004. To date, there are 24 different weedsthat have evolved resistance to Roundup worldwide. And once they invade a farmer's field, it doesn't matter if his crops are Roundup-resistant, because Roundup won't work anymore. Either the weeds get to stay, or the farmer needs to find a new chemical, pull the weeds by hand, or find some other way to deal with the problem.
"We've wasted Roundup by overusing it," says Lovera. She and other food activists worry about the harsher chemicals that farmers are switching to, and the genetically engineered crops companies like Monsanto are developing to use with them.
Currently, there are genetically engineered crops waiting for government approval that are made to tolerate the herbicides 2,4-D, Dicamba and Isoxaflutole. (These are not all from Monsanto – some are from their competitors.) None of these chemicals are as "benign" as Roundup. Isoxaflutole is, in fact, a carcinogen. Let's spray that on our food!
Corporate Control of Seeds
No discussion of Monsanto is complete without a mention of the immense amount of control it exerts on the seed industry.
"What it boils down to is between them buying seed companies outright, their incredible aggressive legal maneuvering, their patenting of everything, and their enforcement of those patents, they really have locked up a huge part of the seed supply," notes Lovera. "So they just exercise an unprecedented control over the entire seed sector. Monsanto products constitute 40 percent of all crop acres in the country."
Monsanto began buying seed companies as far back as 1982. (One can see an infographic of seed industry consolidation here.) Some of Monsanto's most significant purchases were Asgrow (soybeans), Delta and Pine Land (cotton), DeKalb (corn), and Seminis (vegetables). One that deserves special mention is their purchase of Holden's Foundation Seeds in 1997.
George Naylor, an Iowa farmer who grows corn and soybeans, calls Holden's "The independent source of germplasm for corn." Small seed companies could buy inbred lines from Holden's to cross them and produce their own hybrids. Large seed companies like Pioneer did their own breeding, but small operations relied on Holden's or Iowa State University. But Iowa State got out of the game and Monsanto bought Holden's.
Monsanto's tactics for squashing its competition are perhaps unrivaled. They use their power to get seed dealers to not to stock many of their competitors products, for example. When licensing their patented genetically engineered traits to seed companies, they restrict the seed companies' ability to combine Monsanto's traits with those of their competitors. And, famously, farmers who plant Monsanto's patented seeds sign contracts prohibiting them from saving and replanting their seeds. Yet, to date, U.S. antitrust laws have not clamped down on these practices.
With the concentrated control of the seed industry, farmers already complain of lack of options. For example, Naylor says he's had a hard time finding non-genetically engineered soybean seeds. Most corn seeds are now pre-treated with pesticides, so farmers wishing to find untreated seeds will have a tough time finding any. Once a company or a handful of companies control an entire market, then they can choose what to sell and at what price to sell it.
Furthermore, if our crops are too genetically homogenous, then they are vulnerable to a single disease or pest that can wipe them out. When farmers grow genetically diverse crops, then there is a greater chance that one variety or another will have resistance to new diseases. In that way, growing genetically diverse crops is like having insurance, or like diversifying your risk within your stock portfolio.
Food and Water Watch Recommendations
At the end of its report, Food and Water Watch lists several recommendations. "There are a lot of ways that government policy could address the Monsanto hold on the food supply," explains Lovera. "The most important thing is that it's time to stop approval of genetically engineered crops to stop this arms race of the next crop and the next chemical."
She also calls Monsanto "the poster child for the need for antitrust enforcement" – something that the Justice Department has yet to successfully deliver up. In fact, last November the government ended a three-year antitrust investigation of Monsanto.
A third recommendation Lovera hopes becomes a reality is mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. "If we had that label and we put that information in consumers' hands, they could do more to avoid this company in their day-to-day lives," she says.
In the meantime, all consumers can do to avoid genetically engineered foods is to buy organic for the handful of crops that are genetically engineered: corn, soybeans, canola, cotton, papaya, sugar beets, and alfalfa.

The FDA does NOT test GMOs! Monsanto is left to police their own work! In independent, scientific studies, GMOs have been proven beyond all reasonable doubt to be not only toxic, but carcinogenic (and a host of other health problems) and deadly! Michael Taylor, former V.P. of Monsanto is the FDA's czar appointed by Obama! The web of deceit is mind-numbing! My Republican senator, like the rest of our politicians in corporate-run government, and government agencies like the FDA, USDA, EPA & DNR, is full of shit!! Please read:
Dear Johnnie,
Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns about the use of genetically engineered food for consumption in America.
For nearly two decades the FDA has been studying genetic modification techniques for drug-biologic development, as well as the development of new foods. The extensive research from these studies show that these new products meet and sometimes exceed the same safety standards as traditional foods.
Many of the foods that are already in our diet are obtained from plant varieties that were developed using standard genetic practices of breeding and selection. For example, Hybrid corn, nectarines (which are genetically altered peaches), and tangelos (which are a genetic hybrid of a tangerine and grapefruit) are all examples of such breeding and selection.
In conducting its safety evaluations of genetically engineered foods, FDA considers not only the final product but also the techniques used to create it. Although study of the final product ultimately holds the answer to whether or not a product is safe to eat, knowing the techniques used to create the product helps in understanding what questions to ask in reviewing the product's safety. That is the way FDA regulates both traditional food products and products derived through biotechnology. I support these efforts and controls.
The FDA already has existing standards when it comes to labeling foods that contain genetically modified organisms. Anything that substantially changes the nutritional properties of the food must be listed on the label. States also already have the ability to propose their own more limiting laws for the labeling of genetically modified foods, which is why I voted against Senator Sanders' Amendment to the 2012 Farm Bill.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. It is important for me to hear the views and concerns of the people I serve. Please feel free to contact me in the future if I can further assist you or your family. It is an honor representing you and the good people of Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate.

I've been busy tweeting my *ss off, emailing my legislators, heads of our federal govt. and depts. like the FDA, EPA, etc., and I find myself getting more frustrated by the lack of people to stand up, and say enough with the poisoning and corruption! "Give us our d*mn country back!" The only way to achieve this goal at this point in time is to revolt. A major uprising is waaaaaaay overdue! I'm an educated individual, and I know that there are many more out there who can tell that we are getting screwed big time by our own govt., larger than large corporations and CEOs with the intent on global monopolization and "crowd control (killing off 90% of us)." We can write letters, spread the information from coast to coast, but if we do not physically take to the streets in mass, non-violent protests then nothing will be done.
The downfall of our so-called "free" society is imminent, and we must take a page out of the Europeans book, and start protesting in huge numbers! We need to also force every state to have referendums on all legislators from the governor on down to get rid of our highly paid, do-nothing politicians! Do you get to take a nice, long break from work while our country is disintegrating before our very own eyes? The House and Senate do! Even worse, they do it during the worst drought since the Great Depression! Where is the help for farmers? What do we do when food becomes a luxury in the near future? Food prices are slated to rise 4.5% starting this fall and lasting at least through 2013. I guess it will take mass starvation and poisoned food, water, & environment on a scale never seen in human history to wake everybody up!
The effects of GMOs are already affecting all of us. We just can't physically feel it yet. Forget about having kids in the future, because the GMOs and people like Bill & Melinda Gates will make us all sterile within 3-4 generations tops! What more do I need to say to convince U.S. citizens that we are at the gates of Hell, and if you think things are getting bad now…just wait!

Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies
AccueilLa revuePresentation
Sommaire - Document précédent - Document suivant
The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies aim to stimulate and disseminate research work concerning the normative approaches of scientific and technical developments, and more generally the "STS" field ('Science and Technology Studies' or 'Science, Technology and Society', i.e. the study of reciprocal interactions between social, political, legal or cultural factors on the one hand, and scientific and technological research and practices on the other). A legal journal open to interdisciplinarity, the Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies have three main sections. The first reports, in the form of "chronicles", on textual and jurisprudential developments in the major fields of science and technology (biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, bioethics, information society, valorisation of scientific research, liability, scientific and technological evidence). The second deals, in the form of original articles and thematic dossiers, with critical legal reflections on scientific and technical developments - typology, hierarchy and articulation of norms, scope of norms in a globalized context, analysis of scientific and technical practices, etc.) A third section offers interviews and reading notes on these same themes. The contributors are both specialists in issues labelled "Law, science and technology", French and foreign, as well as young researchers.
The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies are published twice a year, at the end of April and the end of October. They are available both in paper version (published by the University Press of Aix-Marseille (PUAM)) and in digital version (free access on OpenEdition: https://journals.openedition.org/cdst). The issues can be ordered individually from the PUAM or in any bookshop.

Is Retro Game Preservation Possible?
August 15, 2015 January 19, 2016 Dustin BaileyLeave a comment
The Rare Replay collection came out this past week, to nearly universal acclaim. It's an incredible collection of mostly incredible games from over two and a half decades of gaming history, and it serves as a reminder of just how far the medium has come in that time. But it also serves as a reminder of just how difficult it is to preserve our history.

The Magic Circle Review
July 25, 2015 July 25, 2015 Dustin Baileypc, steam, the magic circleLeave a comment
Games about games are usually terrible. They're usually a collection of memetic in-jokes and corny parodies designed to cover up the inadequacies of uninspired third-person shooters and platformers, existing more as quick gags to punch up trailers and marketing materials rather than real tributes to the medium of games. Martin Scorsese's 2011 film Hugo was a tribute to movies, but it wasn't a collection of jokes about cinematography and editing, or barely subtle references to characters of great movies past. It was about people. It was about the relationship between people who love movies and the people who make them. The wonder and joy in how Hugo portrayed that relationship reminded me of my passion for games, and made me wish there were a game that so artfully explored its own medium.
The Magic Circle is a game about the relationship between the people who love games and the people who make them. But where Hugo was joy and wonder, the Magic Circle is fear and paranoia. It's about the love of a medium turned to dangerous possession. It's about the digital identities we create out of our own insecurities. It's about the void that the act of creation fills in us. It's about the control that we have inside digital worlds and the vertigo of having that control taken away.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review
After sixteen–SIXTEEN–Tiger Woods games, EA has finally found a new mascot for its golf series. As somebody who doesn't follow golf, well… Well, let me tell you everything I know about Rory McIlroy. He looks vaguely like Paul McCartney. He has the highest stats in this game. He stares with dead, soulless eyes, unblinking, eager to consume mortal souls.
Okay, maybe there's less supernatural consumption, and maybe more golf. You know, blue skies on a Sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze and a challenging but none-too-stressful game of skill to pass the time. It's always seemed like hardcore gamers are a bit more interested in golf games than other sports titles. Maybe we think it's a good substitute for going outside.

God of War III Remastered Impressions
Kratos may be the biggest asshole in games. There's more straight-up evil out there, certainly, but in terms of just being a straight-up, unabashed JERK, Kratos has probably got 'em all beat! He's just so angry all the time! He's just gotta get out those chain blades and murderize some guys! He's all about murderin' gods and bangin' goddesses, and if you think that's crass, well… that's kinda the point. God of War is all about sex and violence, this kind of just glorious, unrestrained spectacle.

Stretchmo is a joyful collection of bite-sized puzzle challenges which stretches the Pushmo concept into what feels like its logical conclusion. It succeeds in expanding upon that original concept in a way that the previous sequels have not, and basically just gives you more Pushmo with new mechanics to use, which is a definitively Good Thing.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Review
July 10, 2015 September 22, 2015 Dustin Baileymachinegames, pc, review, steam, wolfenstein: the old bloodLeave a comment
Last year's Wolfenstein: The New Order was an astoundingly pleasant surprise–a single-player only shooter that committed to creating an exciting campaign and compelling story. It mixed old-school, over the top action with sympathetic characters to create an experience that was plenty ridiculous, but one that had a lot of heart. Now developer MachineGames has elected to follow-up with a prequel in the form of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. This standalone downloadable offers much of the original game's great action and creates some memorable moments of its own, but never manages to reach the heights of its predecessor.

There's a term for the inability to lose weight. It's called Weight-Loss-Resistance (WLR).
You know you have Weight-Loss-Resistance when your caloric intake is below 1400 calories, you're working out hard and nothing's happening or even worse you gain a few pounds. It's when the 'calories in and calories out' rule doesn't apply to you.
It's not because you're lazy or have no will power. Most of my clients who come in to see me with WLR have a tremendous amount of willpower and discipline.
There are real hidden reasons why you can't lose weight. When these reasons are identified and addressed, weight starts to disappear.
If you have a combination of three or more of the above, you may be running into a wall trying to lose weight and feeling very frustrated.
Well meaning friends and family have carefully hinted about your weight and have 'helpful' suggestions about what you should be doing. You may have experienced a doctor giving you that look of disbelief when you tell them that you're only eating 1200-1400 calories and exercising like a banchee and not losing a pound! They kind of look at you like, 'yeah right and you're forgetting to tell me about the cake, cookies and chips that you must be eating late at night.' It's devastating and demeaning!
It's important to identify which of the above contributes to your WLR and then implement the appropriate protocols listed below.
11. Eliminate Foods that are often irritants: Use myfitnesspal.com to track your dietary percentage of Fats 40-50%/ Pro 25-30 %/Carbs 20-25%. Monitor all sugars, including fruit. Keep sugar intake between 30-50 mg/day. Consume a minimum of 1200-1400 calories for women, depending on height and bone structure and activity level. Women over 5'6" will require more calories.
You deserve to feel and look great! Get Started Now!
ok, Cindy, this is totally me (wlr) and I am definitely coming for a sit down w you. great article w reminders of things you have suggested (bentonite clay). on it, thx!
I'm looking forward to the 'sit' with you Miss Vicki! Thank you!
