    CONSTRAINT PK_CS_Product PRIMARY KEY (productNo),
);

A: It was my mistake..
When I first created the table, productNo was bigint and I created the model based on that table.
After that somehow (it must be me...) productNo changed to int.
It is working just fine after changing productNo back to bigint

A: Is there a reason behind this line
csProduct.ProductNo = 0;

the framework will assign the key after save.
Just remove that line,  If you want the ID then after .SaveChanges();
then check the ID value of the Entity.
csRepository.CSContext.SaveChanges();
var NewID = csProduct.ProductNo;

and tried some Islay and it was lovely so I thought I would look on the internet. Perhaps you could guide me into a few to try.
Hi, Jean. Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Will raise a glass to you both this evening.
As for Islay malts to try…? Hmmm. I would maybe start with something like Bowmore 12. Fairly priced, and very much an Islay malt. If you're feeling brave and are interested in a little more oomph and a slightly bigger price tag perhaps Lagavulin 16 or Ardbeg Uigeadail. I think you'll find others may recommend some other Ardbeg or Laphroaig releases, but they may be a little more 'rambunctious' for someone just testing the waters.


This is "Reading and Understanding Social Research", chapter 14 from the book Sociological Inquiry Principles: Qualitative and Quantitative Methods (v. 1.0). For details on it (including licensing), click here.
You might think that sociological research plays a very small role in our day-to-day lives, but once you know what to look for, you will soon discover that it is more a part of our everyday lives than you might have imagined. This is even truer now that you have taken a class in sociological research methods. Having some background in and understanding of the scientific method means that you are now better equipped to understand, question, and critique all kinds of scientific research as many of the basic tenets of good research are similar across disciplines that employ the scientific method. Those tenets include having a well-designed and carefully planned study, having some theoretical grounding and understanding of research that has come before one's own work, and engaging in peer review, to name just a few. In this chapter, we'll consider how to responsibly read research findings and examine areas of everyday life where sociological research may be present, even if it is not immediately visible.
In this chapter, we'll consider how to responsibly read research findings and examine areas of everyday life where sociological research may be present, even if it is not immediately visible.
As you read this chapter and Chapter 15 "Research Methods in the Real World", you may recall several of the topics and points made in other chapters of this text. The aim in these final chapters is to remind you of the relevance of sociological research and why one might care to know something about it. These chapters are also designed to encourage you to think critically about how sociology does and can shape your everyday life, both in ways you might choose and in ways you might not be aware of.
Identify what one can learn from an article simply by reading its abstract and its acknowledgments.
Describe how tables presenting causal relationships are typically presented.
Identify several key questions to ask when reading research reports.
By now you should have a good idea about the basic components of sociological research projects. You know how sociological research is designed, and you are familiar with how to frame a review of sociological literature. In Chapter 5 "Research Design", we discussed the various components of a research project and presented some tips on how to review literature as you design your own research project. But I hope that you'll find the sociological literature to be of interest and relevance to you beyond figuring out how to summarize and critique it in relation to your research plans. We sociologists like to think the research we do matters, but it cannot matter if our research reports go unread or are not understandable. In this section we'll review some material from Chapter 5 "Research Design" regarding sociological literature and we'll consider some additional tips for how to read and understand reports of sociological research.
As mentioned in Chapter 5 "Research Design", reading the abstract that appears in most reports of scholarly research will provide you with an excellent, easily digestible review of a study's major findings and of the framework the author is using to position her findings. Abstracts typically contain just a few hundred words, so reading them is a nice way to quickly familiarize yourself with a study. Another thing to look for as you set out to read and comprehend a research report is the author's acknowledgments. Who supported the work by providing feedback or other assistance? If relevant, are you familiar with the research of those who provided feedback on the report you are about to read? Are any organizations mentioned as having supported the research in some way, either through funding or by providing other resources to the researcher? Familiarizing yourself with an author's acknowledgments will give you additional contextual information within which to frame and understand what you are about to read.
Once you have read the abstract and acknowledgments, you could next peruse the discussion section near the end of the report, as suggested in Chapter 5 "Research Design". You might also take a look at any tables that are included in the article. A tableA tool used by researchers who wish to present large amounts of data in a succinct format. Tables are most commonly used in reports of quantitative research findings. provides a quick, condensed summary of the report's key findings. The use of tables is not limited to one form or type of data, though they are used most commonly in quantitative research. Tables are a concise way to report large amounts of data. Some tables present descriptive information about a researcher's sample. These tables will likely contain frequencies (N) and percentages (%). For example, if gender happened to be an important variable for the researcher's analysis, a descriptive table would show how many and what percent of all study participants are women and how many/what percent are men. Frequencies, or "how many," will probably be listed as N, while the percent symbol (%) might be used to indicate percentages.
In a table presenting a causal relationship, independent variable attributes are typically presented in the table's columns, while dependent variable attributes are presented in rows. This allows the reader to scan across a table's rows to see how values on the dependent variable attributes change as the independent variable attribute values change. Tables displaying results of quantitative analysis will also likely include some information about the strength and statistical significance of the relationships presented in the table. These details tell the reader how likely it is that the relationships presented will have occurred simply by chance.
Let's look at a specific example. Table 14.1 "Percentage Reporting Harassing Behaviors at Work", based on data from my study of older workers, presents the causal relationship between gender and experiencing harassing behaviors at work. In this example, gender is the independent variable and the harassing behaviors listed are the dependent variables.It wouldn't make any sense to say that people's workplace experiences cause their gender, so in this example, the question of which is the independent variable and which are the dependent variables has a pretty obvious answer. I have therefore placed gender in the table's columns and harassing behaviors in the table's rows. Reading across the table's top row, we see that 2.9% of women in the sample reported experiencing subtle or obvious threats to their safety at work, while 4.7% of men in the sample reported the same. We can read across each of the rows of the table in this way. Reading across the bottom row, we see that 9.4% of women in the sample reported experiencing staring or invasion of their personal space at work while just 2.3% of men in the sample reported having the same experience.
Of course, we cannot assume that these patterns didn't simply occur by chance. How confident can we be that the findings presented in the table did not occur by chance? This is where tests of statistical significance come in handy. Statistical significanceA report of the likelihood that relationships observed could be caused by something other than chance. tells us the likelihood that the relationships we observe could be caused by something other than chance. While your statistics class will give you more specific details on tests of statistical significance and reading quantitative tables, the important thing to be aware of as a nonexpert reader of tables is that some of the relationships presented will be statistically significant and others may not be. Tables should provide information about the statistical significance of the relationships presented. When reading a researcher's conclusions, be sure to pay attention to which relationships are statistically significant and which are not.
In Table 14.1 "Percentage Reporting Harassing Behaviors at Work", you'll see that a p value is noted in the last very column of the table. A p valueA statistical measure of the probability that there is no relationship between the variables under study. is a statistical measure of the probability that there is no relationship between the variables under study. Another way of putting this is that the p value provides guidance on whether or not we should reject the null hypothesis. The null hypothesisThe assumption that no relationship exists between variables in question. is simply the assumption that no relationship exists between the variables in question. In Table 14.1 "Percentage Reporting Harassing Behaviors at Work", we see that for the first behavior listed, the p value is 0.623. This means that there is a 62.3% chance that the null hypothesis is correct in this case. In other words, it seems likely that any relationship between observed gender and experiencing threats to safety at work in this sample is simply due to chance.
In the final row of the table, however, we see that the p value is 0.039. In other words, there is a 3.9% chance that the null hypothesis is correct. Thus we can be somewhat more confident than in the preceding example that there may be some relationship between a person's gender and his experiencing the behavior noted in this row. We might say that this finding is significant at the .05 level. This means that the probability that the relationship between gender and experiencing staring or invasion of personal space at work is due to sampling error alone is less than 5 in 100. Notice that I'm hedging my bets here by using words like somewhat and may be. When testing hypotheses, social scientists generally couch their findings in terms of rejecting the null hypothesis rather than making bold statements about the relationships observed in their tables. You can learn more about creating tables, reading tables, and tests of statistical significance in a class focused exclusively on statistical analysis. For now, I hope this brief introduction to reading tables will give you more confidence in your ability to read and understand the quantitative tables you encounter while reading reports of sociological research.
Note: Sample size was 138 for women and 43 for men.
Having read the tables in a research report, along with the abstract, acknowledgments, and discussion in the report, you are finally ready to read the report in its entirety. As you read a research report, there are several questions you can ask yourself about each section, from abstract to conclusion. Those questions are summarized in Table 14.2 "Questions Worth Asking While Reading Research Reports". Keep in mind that the questions covered here are designed to help you, the reader, to think critically about the research you come across and to get a general understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, and key takeaways from a given study. I hope that by considering how you might respond to the following questions while reading research reports, you'll feel confident that you could describe the report to others and discuss its meaning and impact with them.
In tables presenting causal relationships, the independent variable is typically presented in the table's columns while the dependent variables are presented in the table's rows.
When reading a research report, there are several key questions you should ask yourself for each section of the report.
Find a table in a research report of your choosing. Challenge yourself to summarize the relationships represented by the table. Check your work by reading the Findings section of the article.
Read a scholarly article from start to finish, answering the questions outlined in Table 14.2 "Questions Worth Asking While Reading Research Reports" as you read through each section.
Identify what one needs to do to be a responsible consumer of research.
Being a responsible consumer of research requires that you take seriously your identity as a social scientist. Now that you are familiar with how to conduct research and how to read the results of others' research, you have some responsibility to put your knowledge and skills to use. Doing so is in part a matter of being able to distinguish what you do know based on the information provided by research findings from what you do not know. It is also a matter of having some awareness about what you can and cannot reasonably know as you encounter research findings.
When assessing social scientific findings, think about what information has been provided to you. In a scholarly journal article, you will presumably be given a great deal of information about the researcher's method of data collection, her or his sample, and information about how the researcher identified and recruited research participants. All these details provide important contextual information that can help you assess the researcher's claims. If, on the other hand, you come across some discussion of social scientific research in a popular magazine or newspaper, chances are that you will not find the same level of detailed information that you would find in a scholarly journal article. In this case, what you do and do not know is more limited than in the case of a scholarly journal article.
Information provided on the same study will vary dramatically depending on the source reporting the study's findings. In general, popular media and news sources will provide fewer details than scholarly sources such as academic journals.
Also take into account whatever information is provided about a study's funding source. Most funders want, and in fact require, that recipients acknowledge them in publications. But more popular press may leave out a funding source. In this Internet age, it can be relatively easy to obtain information about how a study was funded. If this information is not provided in the source from which you learned about a study, it might behoove you to do a quick search on the web to see if you can learn more about a researcher's funding. Findings that seem to support a particular political agenda, for example, might have more or less weight once you know whether and by whom a study was funded.
There is some information that even the most responsible consumer of research cannot know. Because researchers are ethically bound to protect the identities of their subjects, for example, we will never know exactly who participated in a given study. Researchers may also choose not to reveal any personal stakes they hold in the research they conduct. While researchers may "start where they are," a process outlined in Chapter 4 "Beginning a Research Project", we cannot know for certain whether or how researchers are personally connected to their work unless they choose to share such details. Neither of these "unknowables" is necessarily problematic, but having some awareness of what you may never know about a study does provide important contextual information from which to assess what one can "take away" from a given report of findings.
Being a responsible consumer of research means giving serious thought to and understanding what you do know, what you don't know, what you can know, and what you can't know.
Find a report of scholarly research in a newspaper. What do you know from the report? What don't you know? How might you find the answers to your remaining questions?


I received my notification by email last that night that I'd received an Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future Contest for my short story Father's Honor. I'm pleased. It's very nice to learn that something I created (and slaved over) didn't just fall flat.
I've noticed, however, that judge KD Wentworth likes my traditional fantasy much better than my contemporary fantasy. That doesn't affect my choices for this quarter's upcoming deadline – I'm choosing between two science fiction stories. Actually, they'll both be going in–one for the 9/30 deadline, and the other the day after for the 1st quarter's 12/31 deadline. It'll be nice to get it in early, and leave my December free to focus on other projects. Like the Parsec contest . . .
A lot of writers I know from various online communities have also earned Honorable Mentions. (Congrats to you guys!!) It leaves me wondering who made the next level. Good luck to those of you still awaiting notification.
Congratulations on meeting your Write1Sub1 challenge for August.
THanks Dave. Congrats to you too.

Q: Runlevel script I want to make a simple script so that the user can easy change the runlevels.
The script should prompt the user to choose the new runlevel, run the /sbin/init program and receive a confirmation message.
Any ideas ?
P.S if the runlevel is changed i want to receive a confirmation message. Help please

A: You can try simply,
Create file named myscript with following content:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Enter Run level":
read rl;
sudo init $rl;

Where echo is used to print what to input, read is used to get the input and store into variable rl and  sudo init $rl; to execute command for changing run level.
For more control/verification over input, you can use loop such as while and case.
You've to give execution permission:sudo chmod +x myscript so that it can be executed.
Then you can run script like:
$ ./myscript
$ Enter Run level : 3

EDIT:
as @RuiFRibeiro suggested, the command to change runlevel is telinit:
NAME
       telinit - change system runlevel

SYNOPSIS
       telinit [OPTION]...  RUNLEVEL

DESCRIPTION
       telinit may be used to change the system runlevel.

So, You should use telinit instead init in script.

And to check run level you can use who -r or runlevel command which output previous and current runlevel.
$ who -r | awk '{print $1,$2}'
run-level 3
$ runlevel

On the mat // A yoga co-op for Southwest
Updated: December 10, 2010 - 4:04 pm
In a land of many yoga studios, it can be hard to stand out.
The OM Collective, a new studio at 34th & Lyndale, however, has some unique qualities that will be of interest to local yogis.
For one, the studio is something of a "yoga co-op," said Ronna Rochell, one of the four co-founders of the studio. It's designed to be a multidisciplinary space dedicated to health and healing. Besides a variety of yoga classes (including a special class combining yoga and poetry), the OM Collective has non-yoga specialties like Kung Fu and Boot Camp classes.
Housed in the former Balance Fitness space at 3350 Lyndale Ave. S., the studio also has two teachers certified in Anusara (pronounced a-nu-sar-a) yoga — Rochell and Ali Certain. Only four teachers in Minnesota are certified in the popular method founded by John Friend.
"Anusara means from the heart — to flow with grace," Rochell said.
It's a style of Hatha yoga that emphasizes the importance of alignment. As for philosophy, practitioners of Anusara believe that people and life is inherently good.
Rochell started teaching yoga in 1990 after performing with modern dance companies in Chicago and Minneapolis. She launched her own business Bodywisdom Yoga in 1998 and then became certified in Anusara Yoga in 2009.
"When I discovered Anusara yoga, I found something that truly resonated with my heart. It is such a holistic and life-affirming practice," she said. "And it's something that I can share everyday with clients and my family."
Friend founded Anusara yoga in 1997. Since then, it has spread to 70 countries with roughly 200,000 students.
Rochell lives in Southwest with her husband and two sons who are in elementary school. She also has a son in his senior year in college. The family practices yoga together nearly every day. Rochell and her husband also organize a partner yoga/cross country ski weekend every February.
The other co-founders of the OM Collective include Ali Certain, another Anusara instructor; Jennifer Colletti, a teacher who specializes in helping women with fertility challenges; and Lisa Van Ahn, an instructor for boot camp and kickboxing classes. Van Ahn also offers Reiki and Ayurveda private consultations.
Rochell describes the studio as a "beautiful space" that can serve as a respite for people with overwhelming schedules.
"Life is becoming too fast paced for people," she said. "We are running as fast as we can. [Yoga] helps us pause, stop and tune inside. Once we pause, we tune into who we really are."
"On the mat" is an occasional column in the Journal exploring the city's yoga community.
The OM Collective, 3350 Lyndale Ave. S., is celebrating its grand opening 6:30–9 p.m. Jan. 8. For more details, visit theomcollective.com.

Q: POST checked AND unchecked checkbox status (PHP) One of my sites contains a table. The information for this table comes from a database. Lets say the ID of each position and a boolean which represents the checkbox and it loads the 0 or 1 from the database and "pre"-checks or unchecks the checkbox.
<input class='cb' name='check[]' value='".$buyedposition."' type='checkbox' "; ?> <?php if($buyedposition==1){echo "checked";} ?> <?php echo ">";

$buyedposition is the 0 or 1 information from the Database.
Now the user can change the checkbox by clicking each record that is shown in the table. The table is also a form. With a submit button the new values should POST to the next php file to update the records. But it doesn't work.
Only the checked checkboxes will pass through and the array size is = the number of checked checkboxes. I already tried a hidden input but the array size is incorrect. For 4 empty checkboxes the array size is 4. If I check all 4 the array size is 8.
var_dump of the array (all 4 checkboxes are checked):
array(8) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> string(1) "0" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(1) "0" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(1) "0" [6]=> string(0) "" [7]=> string(1) "0" }

With "isset" it doesn't work either. (!isset($_POST["check"]) is true when none of all checkboxes are checked. I cant use it to ask "Okay Checkbox 1 and 3, are you checked?" I can use this only to update all checkboxes to 0 if the user has unchecked all boxes:
if(!isset($_POST["check"])){
        foreach($_POST["positionID"] as $key=>$value){
            $sql = $connection->prepare("UPDATE positionen SET buyed=? WHERE positionen.id = ?");
            $sql->bind_param("ii", $checktozero, $_POST["positionID"][$key]);
            $sql->execute();
        }

So is there any way to solve this problem?


As a bride (and groom), we made the decision that we wouldn't be inviting anyone that we wouldn't take for a cheeky Nandos. (Seriously... this was our system of choosing guests).
But think about it for a second - how many of the people on your guest list do you know, and care about enough to treat to a meal? If you wouldn't pay for them to eat with you in Nandos, why the HELL would you pay £99 pp for them to eat with you on the most important day of your life? You don't know these jokers. This is your wedding day. You don't get to do it twice.
For us, the same applied to our wedding suppliers - we'd be spending the majority of our day with these people.
Let's be real for a second - those 200 guests are going to want to congratulate you, point their iPads at you, and make weird small-talk with you.
You're going to have to grab 30 minutes for your couple's photos and this will be the first, and maybe the only time you'll be 'alone' all day. Why would you want to spend ANY of that time with a creepy stranger and their camera?
- YOU DO YOU. Don't let anyone force you into anything when it comes to your wedding. You don't have to invite that estranged uncle you've literally never met, and you don't have to wear your grandmothers dress. Something blue? Who even made that up anyway? Some random guy in history, that's who.
- Choose a photographer that you'd actually want to be friends with. In real life.
- Make time to meet them - whether that's an engagement session, meeting for a drink, or even just a skype (international brides - I'm looking at you!). **Meeting your photographer on your wedding morning is a recipe for all kinds of awkward.
- Why not schedule an engagement shoot anyway? If you're anything like me, as soon as you're in front of the camera you don't know what to do with your body parts... LOL. But there's hope for us all and practice really does make perfect.
Let's eat good food, go on an adventure, create some inside jokes and drink a few cocktails. I'm down, if you're down.
"Jess!!! OHHH EEEM GEEEE!! These photos are just so amazing! You're so bloody good aren't you!?

ABANDONED SOVIET GIGANTS IN UKRAINE: IONOSPHERE RESEARCH STATION AND DUGA-3 RADAR
Ionospheric research station (though not completely abandoned) is just as big, full of rust and bizarre "post-apocalyptic" atmosphere.
During the 80s this place had the functioning antenna complex the size of a soccer field, plus the "Ural" super-computer presiding over it all… The Ionospheric Research Station is located near Zmiev, close to Kharkov and is still used from time to time by (no doubt desperate) scientists – the area was declassified recently (it used to be a top secret installation, hm… I wonder why). This marvel of Soviet technology seems to be no match for HAARP Research Station in Alaska, but looks can be deceiving – and in the meantime it serves as a good "stomping ground" for all sorts of explorers of creepy and abandoned places.
The High Frequency Transmitter and Antenna Array
The biggest antenna is capable of producing 25 MW impulse power (compare it to the HAARP station's 12.5 MW) and is 25 meters in diameter. The IS (incoherent scatter) radar is quite unique (there are only 9 in the world) and covers 100 meter x 100 meter area.
The Institute of the ionosphere is known not only in the territory of the Kharkiv region, but even outside Ukraine. The fact that the radar, which you can see here in the photo are very rare and unique in its kind. Interestingly, there are only 11 in the world!
Where Ionosphere Researching Institute on the map?
Ionosphere researching institute is located near Zmyev town 30 km to south from Kharkiv-city.
Enter street adress here. Or any other information you want.
What do scientists learn?
– the effect of radio emissions and spacecraft flights on processes in the ionosphere;
– the nature of geocosmic storms;
– wave disturbances;
– the Earth's magnetic field and cosmic weather;
– the effect of radio emission on plant cells;
– geocosmic plasma and its response to the launch of probes.

The Russian Woodpekker
In 1976 amateur shortwave radio enthusiasts began hearing an unusual and highly powerful signal. Ham radio fans all over the world soon had their listening disrupted by an unrelenting tapping sound. When source of the mysterious new transmission was triangulated, it appeared to be coming from somewhere deep behind the Iron Curtain. The peculiar signal was given the nickname "Russian Woodpecker."
The purpose of the Russian Woodpecker remained a mystery. Conspiracy theoriesranged from Soviet mind control to weather experiments. Then came the collapse of the Soviet Union, which revealed that the Russian Woodpecker was at the forefront of what is known as "over the horizon" radar, designed to provide early warning of an inter continental ballistic missile attack. The Duga-3 (Eastern) radar broadcasting the Woodpecker signal was located in the forests surrounding Chernobyl.
The fateful day of April 26, 1986 suddenly brought the veil down on the radar station. Like the rest of what would become the Exclusion Zone, Duga-3 was eventually evacuated, and left to decay in the forest. By 1989, alert ham radio enthusiasts noticed that the curious tapping signal, the Russian Woodpecker, had suddenly stopped.
Walking today amid the silent pylons, and seeing remnants of the pinnacle of Soviet computer technology lying rusted on the ground, one is struck by the vast amounts of money, expertise and energy spent on designing, constructing and working the radar system. The exact date the Duga project was abandoned is, like most of the Exclusion Zone, somewhat of a mystery, but it seems that the base wasn't vacated immediately after the fateful explosion. Within a few years, the peculiar Russian Woodpecker, so long vexing to shortwave radio enthusiasts, and cause for concern for Western intelligence, disappeared from the airwaves, never to be heard again.
Where DUGA-3 on the map?
Duga-3 is located near by Chernobyl in the forest.
DUGA-3 "Russian Woodpekker"
Now a lot of tourists are visiting this soviet ghost of cold war. Sometimes "stalkers" – young subculture of people who visiting Chernobyl zone illegaly climb on the top Duga-3. By official way it's not possible to do.
The best time to catch new experience near Duga-3 is windy night. If you sitting under millions of stars, wind is creating a strange sound "playing" in thousands strings the song nothing to compare with.

Milan/Pero, Italy
James Benning, after Thoreau, 2014, serigraph, oil-based ink on paper, 31 × 25". Installation view, 2015.
James Benning
Marfa Book Company
In keeping with one of the primary tenets of his formally rigorous filmmaking, James Benning's exhibition "Thirty-one Friends" observed a strict framework, in which thirty-one unique works were dedicated to thirty-one friends and gifted to them at the close of the exhibition. Friend was here defined by a multitude of affections, ranging from professional esteem to paternal love: Old flames mingled with blossoming romantic interests, artistic admiration with gratitude, in seemingly inexhaustible and shifting combinations that characterize the dance of intimacy. In and of itself, the list of dedicatories read as an index of various degrees of proximity. Erstwhile partner Rhonda Bell; daughter Sadie Benning; Berlin gallerist Maia Gianakos; writer Rachel Kushner; celebrated filmmakers Harun Farocki and Richard Linklater; established artists Sharon Lockhart, Julie Ault, and Danh Vo; emerging filmmaker Zorana Musikic; critic Sarinah Masukor; and twenty other people dear to Benning formed the first of several networks that prescribed the show's predominantly handmade content.
Copious in number but modest in scale, the works quietly flowed from the gallery onto the walls of the adjacent bookstore and were, for the most part, meticulously crafted reproductions of sketches, notes, and photographs by a second network of artists and thinkers. An image of Andy Warhol grabbing Parker Tyler by the crotch from 1969 and a working sketch of Spiral Jetty, dated 1970 and signed "Robert Smithson," might have easily been mistaken for archival material were it not for their respective titles—after Warhol (smiling) and after Smithson (all works 2014)—and descriptions ("Serigraph of a 1969 photograph" and "Copy of a working drawing") in the laminated field guide of sorts that accompanied the exhibition. Encased in two handmade cardboard boxes and resting on plinths elsewhere in the gallery were hard drives, each containing a new film, one of which was intended for Farocki, before his death in July 2014. Titled Farocki, the film is a single seventy-seven-minute-long fixed shot of a cloud bank.
While many of the objects were replicas of the work of familiar art-world names (including those of the very friends to which some of the objects are dedicated), others were culled from a cadre of self- and societally proclaimed loners, including outsider artists such as Henry Darger, Miroslav Tichý, and Bill Traylor, as well as political dissidents, reformers, and malcontents ranging from the abolitionist John Brown to Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. The largest example of the last—a silk-screened piece dedicated to Linklater, featuring a blown-up passage championing vigilant attunement to the sensory, from the original manuscript of Walden, in Henry Thoreau's undulating scrawl—rested in the interstitial area between gallery and bookstore. Elsewhere in the gallery hung a copy of an unpublished two-page letter that Kaczynski sent to the San Francisco Examiner in 1985, in which he railed against the techno-industrial complex. Outsider ethos, whether artistic, literary, or political, is a recurrent interest for Benning, who feels a conflicted affinity for reclusive and nonconformist figures. Many of them have informed his artistic methodology—a politics of solitude that stems from the American Transcendentalist belief that sovereignty of individual conscience is achievable through observation and introspection.
However, Benning never loses sight of the need for pluralism. "Thirty-one Friends" can also be understood as the artist's quest to reconcile his conflicting needs for solitude and companionship. Amid the personal artifacts and across spatiotemporal registers, the exhibition assumed an almost confessional air, laying bare values, influences, and associations in the company of public intimacies. Out of this network of affection within a network of influence emerged a practice of community that elides insider/outsider distinctions. And what better setting for the celebration and cohabitation of seemingly antithetical phenomena than the remote enclave of Marfa, Texas?

Each month a curated and exclusive selection of fine art photographs will be offered for sale to the public.
All White Glove Prints™ are made, signed, and dated by me personally in the studio. They are named for the white gloves I wear to handle the prints.
Scroll down to see this month's offerings.
About the Photographs
The New York Times described my photography "as artworks rather than as mundane documentation," which present "an unorthodox look" with a "focus on striking details."
The color photographs are rich, with many of them having dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that create a stark ethereal quality. The black-and-white photographs, however, are often gritty and candid.
Many photographs also evoke the mysterious and invite exploration. Objects and meanings are not revealed by one glance. Sometimes, tight compositions reveal iterative patterns to provoke new ways of seeing at the intersection of realism and abstraction.

Item #001 · 8.5 x 11 inches (21.59 x 27.95cm)
Signed · About the White Glove Print™ Process
These solid wood shutters and bold, but decorative, hinges, really caught my attention. My father was a chair maker and, as a result, I appreciate the beauty of the grain, texture, and finish of wood.
But, here, it's more than just that. It's also the rustic elegance and character of the handmade hinges and bolts. Despite the "hard" impression of the black metal, a softness is suggested by the curves of the fleur-de-lis and kidney bean shapes.
This is the sort of detail and hidden beauty that may escape your view when visiting the eccentrically decorated home of Julian Alden Weir, a leading innovator of American Impressionist painting. This photograph gives you a rare close-up view that cannot be seen during a tour from behind a stanchion.
I can assure you of the stunning clarity and remarkable detail in this print. Many have observed that it almost appears three dimensional.
From the New York City Collection
No More White Presidents
Recently, I was back in Greenwich Village. It's where I went to law school at New York University. Walking along Broadway, I came across this empty storefront, which signaled that the tradition of artsy protest was alive and well in this iconic neighborhood. Ironically, someone – an NYU student most likely – scrawled "No More White Presidents" against the whitewash of the window.
This street photography image is what I like to refer to as "future history." Years from now, it will neatly encapsulate the political, cultural, and social tumult spanning the Obama and Trump administrations. The stark and gritty image conveys the emptiness, alienation, and decay of these uncertain times. The black-and-white composition also projects the racial divide expressed by the graffiti.
From the William Floyd Collection
I present this photograph in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Civil Rights Day in Arizona and New Hampshire, all of which fall on January 20. This image is from the first photographic collection centering on the burial ground of the forgotten slaves from the William Floyd Estate in Mastic, Long Island, which is now a National Park unit of Fire Island National Seashore. Floyd signed the Declaration of Independence and served with George Washington.
The series is a spiritual memorial to these slaves and seeks to dignify them as individuals. They are separated by a white wooden fence, with simple, year-less crucifixes bearing singular generic slave names. I created the image while standing in the Floyd cemetery surrounded by that family's elaborate individualized tombstones.
Selections were exhibited at African Burial Ground National Monument in lower Manhattan; LeRoy Neiman Art Center in Harlem; and Oyster Bay Historical Society on Long Island. Find out more in this News 12 report:
From the Sagamore Hill Collection
On January 6, 1919, Theodore Roosevelt passed away. The day before, he uttered these wistful words to his spouse, Edith: "I wonder if you will ever know how I love Sagamore Hill."
His home and summer White House - Sagamore Hill - features a large portrait of the 26th president from back when he was a member of the legendary Rough Riders, a regiment that saw combat in the Spanish-American War. The painting by Fedor Encke stands in command in a corner of the famous North Room where TR met with dignitaries and other VIPs of his day.
My photograph of it was part of the Long Island Museum's Long Island at War exhibition. Another photograph I created that closes in on TR's face was exhibited at Harvard. You can see this close-up and read about the Harvard exhibit in my essay, published in the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal.
From the Washington's Headquarters Collection
The Ford Mansion at Sunrise
Another iconic president with strong ties to a home is George Washington. The Ford Mansion in New Jersey was his military headquarters during the winter encampment of 1779-80. It is now the site of Morristown National Historical Park.
I was very motivated to create this photograph. As a night-person, it is not easy for me to go to bed early so that I can wake up in the middle of the night, drive from Long Island to New Jersey, and then set up before dawn. I was not sure even sure if the effort would pay off as I had no idea whether the morning light would result in an interesting image.
I was previsualizing an orange or pinkish sky bathing the house in a warm glow. But when I arrived, I saw that the trees were blocking the sun.
In the end, I was pleased with the result. Instead of the typical sunrise view I was anticipating, a narrow gap within the trees unexpectedly funneled the light into an unusual hot streak of yellow cutting across the lawn.

From the Boston Harbor Islands Collection
Gun Powder Magazine
The 39 acres of Georges Island is just over seven miles from Boston and the site of Fort Warren, a National Historic Landmark dating back to 1847. The fort remained in use for 100 years, including service as a Civil War prison where it held Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens.
The site is part of Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, and I was its first Artist-in-Residence. As such, I had the unique experience of staying on the island and sleeping in quarters above the visitor's center. It was an eerily quiet feeling when the last tourists left by boat, and I remained behind with Boston twinkling on the horizon.
I rarely use flash, but it was pitch dark when I entered this gun powder magazine. I could not even see my hand in front of me, and I had no idea what the space looked like. My photograph not only gives you a view of the brickwork and wood floor slats, but the flash creates the effect of the explosion you don't want to experience in a place that houses gunpowder.
From the Longfellow House Collection
Longfellow's Chandelier
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-82) is one of the world's foremost 19th century poets selling 15,000 copies of The Courtship of Miles Standish on its first day of publication. Some of his greatest classics were composed at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was the former headquarters of George Washington.
Having the house to myself, I was able to explore freely. Moreover, the very cooperative staff indulged my artistic fancy. At my request, they brought me a ladder and switched on the chandelier. Reflected light is a theme that runs through many of my images, and the chandelier did not disappoint.
It was not until I saw the park's recent Facebook post that I realized I photographed a rare view:
"As we look ahead to the longest night of the year, today's Show and Tell Friday features one of the Longfellows' sources of light. As I talked with visitors in the Library last week during our open house, many were struck by the beautiful six-branch chandelier - originally gas, and converted to electricity in Alice Longfellow's era."
"Usually our visitors see this room brightly lit by daylight from its large windows. At night, the chandelier illuminates the library and casts fascinating shadows on the ceiling from its ornate chains featuring gold leaves."
"These photographs were taken in 2015 by photographer Xiomaro, who was able to capture some unusual perspectives and the play of light and shadow from the fixture."
From the Frederick Law Olmsted Collection
Olmsted's Winter View
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) began in 1857 with the design of Central Park in New York City and went on to become the founder of American landscape architecture.
The thousands of landscapes he designed include many of the world's most important parks such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn; the Emerald Necklace in Boston; the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina; Mount Royal in Montreal; the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the White House; and the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
I was commissioned by the National Park Service to create the first artistic photographic collection of Olmsted's office at his Fairsted home. I had the good fortune of showing up during a snowfall. This wintery view from his Print Room is romantic, and the handwritten instructions are charming. Among its warnings is the proper handling of ammonia during the printing process.
From the New England Trail Collection
Heublein Tower
The National Park Service and its partners, the Connecticut Forest & Park Association and the Appalachian Mountain Club commissioned me to create an artistic photographic series to bring wider acclaim to the New England National Scenic Trail (NET), a 215-mile hiking route through 41 communities in Connecticut and Massachusetts comprised primarily of historic trail systems.
One of the many sites along the trail is Heublein Tower in Simsbury, Connecticut. If you ever had A.1. Steak Sauce or Smirnoff Vodka, then you have indulged in one of Gilbert Heublein's products. He had the tower constructed on Talcott Mountain as a summer home.
At this height, the views of the Farmington River Valley and the Hartford skyline are breathtaking. But during a day that featured rain, hail, and snow, it was the dramatic view of the tower itself that drew my eye.
From the Big Cypress National Preserve Collection
Egret Wings
The 729,000 acres of Florida's Big Cypress Swamp feed its fresh water into the neighboring Everglades, which is essential to the health of the rich marine estuaries. The swamp is home to a diversity of plant and wildlife communities. A spartan government dormitory, just steps away from the swamp, served as my home for a month.
During my time there, I photographed National Park personnel grappling with ultra-deadly Burmese Python snakes. My New York City feet walked gingerly while taking care to discern alligators from fallen tree limbs. Although panthers have never been documented to attack humans, they were also on my list of creatures to steer clear of.
But beautiful birds abound. The slightest movement of my camera startled this egret hiding in the brush. This photograph has never been exhibited, but its dreamy, intimate, and delicate qualities make it one of my personal favorites.


David Pindell's struggles at quarterback in the final game of his collegiate career opened the door for Steven Krajewski to get some reps at the end of another lopsided loss for the Huskies.
Late in the third quarter of UConn's season-ending 57-7 loss to Temple, Huskies fans got their first glimpse of what could be the program's future.
For the first time this year, freshman quarterback Steven Krajewski stepped on the field for UConn, relieving starter David Pindell late in a lost game. Krajewski, a three-star recruit from Moultrie, Ga., completed 2 of 3 pass attempts for 11 yards, while handing the ball to running back Dante Black, another freshman from Georgia.
Though Krajewski didn't get many chances to throw the ball Saturday, he said he was happy to have gained some experience — and eager to get back on the field and improve on this season's 1-11 record.
Though only a freshman, Krajewski might not have to wait long to become UConn's starting quarterback. With Pindell and Brandon Bisack graduating, the Huskies will return three quarterbacks next season: Krajewski, Marvin Washington and Jordan McAfee. Washington has struggled academically, and McAfee spent the season on the scout team, making Krajewski the de facto favorite to start next fall.
Edsall will likely consider recruiting a graduate transfer or junior college player to compete with the returning quarterbacks.
As for Krajewski's brief appearance Saturday, Pindell knows first-hand how valuable late-season experience can be. After being benched during the first game of the 2017 season, he returned to the field over the final few weeks and flashed the potential that translated into big production this fall.
Now, he sees some parallels with Krajewski, even if the freshman didn't get quite as long a tryout.
Krajewski said he learned this season about some of football's finer points, honing his knowledge of the game and the playbook.
UConn recognized 20 players Saturday in a pregame Senior Day ceremony, including Pindell, receiver Hergy Mayala, tight end Aaron McLean, center Ryan Crozier and linebacker Sterling Santana.
The players had their names read over the public-address system, then emerged from the UConn tunnel to hug Edsall and embrace family members waiting on the field.
Running back Kevin Mensah rushed for 94 yards, becoming the first Huskies running back since Lyle McCombs in 2011 to surpass 1,000 in a season. … UConn's Luke Magliozzi punted six times for 269 yards, eking past Desi Cullen for the program record for single-season punting average (42.94). … Speaking of Cullen, he and former linebacker Danny Lansanah were on hand Saturday and were recognized by the home crowd during a first-half timeout. Both ex-Huskies played key roles for UConn during Randy Edsall's first tenure as coach, leading some of the program's better teams last decade.

Cap on insulin copays for many Kentuckians goes into effect at start of 2022

Starting in the new year, there will be a limit on how much of a copay you will have to pay for insulin. In Kentucky, legislators approved the new law earlier this year. It requires all insulin paid through a private health insurance plan to have no more than a $30 a month copay for a 30 day supply.

Positioning is defined by Business Dictionary as being a marketing strategy that aims to place the brand in the mind of the consumer, on a distinct position in relation to the competition. In their book, "Positioning the brand: An inside-out approach", Rik Riezebos and Jaap van der Griten speak about positioning as highlighting the features of a brand that are relevant for the target audience and differentiate the brand from those already on the market.
Positioning doesn't focus on the product/service you offer, but rather on the consumer. The product must have a well defined image in the mind of the consumer, different form similar products, a number of features that make it unique. That's why the term of "product positioning" is rather inaccurate. Basically, not the product itself suffers the modifications when the positioning is made, but its image, packaging, name etc.
It's important that the brand you represent to awaken new connections in the mind of the consumer, make him resonate with what your organization does. As Simon Sinek said, "people don't buy what you do, but why you do it".
It's very difficult to create something that doesn't already exist in the mind of the consumer when his mind is over-saturated with information. That is why a very important step in the positioning process is segmentation. On the market there are such different consumers, with so many expectations, that it's difficult to make a product positioning for a wide audience. If you choose a target audience, a group of consumers who share the same values, and speak to them directly, it's much easier to make them resonate with your brand and product.
Maybe the most important aspect of positioning is communication. In the information era, the consumer holds the power. Messages are getting shorter and more concentrated. To make a correct brand positioning, your message should not necessarily be a new one, but rather one that attracts the consumer. Less is more. The communication volume is positioning number one enemy. That's why when you choose the communication strategy, when you make the segmentation or even the positioning, you have to see everything in reverse, from the consumer's perspective. Under these circumstances, all the questions about your brand have to begin with "why". The message you send to the consumer actually must answer this question. If you manage to do that, you ensure a good positioning of the brand on the market.
To make a good positioning of your brand on the market, it is necessary to know very well your audience (consumers) as well as your competition. Being maybe the strongest concept in marketing, positioning makes the difference between similar products, influences the mind of the consumer in the advantage of the product and ensures a strong image of the brand on the market.

Lifts, Wheelchair, Vertical, Motor Vehicle
Definition : Wheelchair lifts designed to move a wheelchair-bound person between ground level outside a motor vehicle and within the vehicle. Most of these lifts consist of a platform onto which the patient wheels the wheelchair; then the platform is used to raise the wheelchair into the vehicle. Other lifts include a powered arm mounted in the vehicle that is attached to the wheelchair to raise it. These lifts use electric or hydraulic power; some may be operated using the vehicle battery. Most motor-vehicle wheelchair lifts are permanently mounted in the vehicle.

Kate Stoltz NYC Fashion Blog – tagged "bow"
Bows have been seen a lot lately on the Resort 2016 runways, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I love the feminine silhouette. The many different ways designers have been incorporating them into dresses, shirts and pants is adorable without being overwhelming. -(Anyway many of the looks I have been seeing.) An easy way to 'bow down to the bow trend' is to tie a light scarf in a bow around your neck.. Neck scarves are chic, and trendsetters such as Kendall Jenner and fashion bloggers everywhere have been seen wearing cute neck scarves lately. Scarves are my favorite way to complete an outfit. They add color, movement, and can be used in a variety of ways to spice up an outfit. While some people think of scarves as something to wear to keep warm, there are many lighter options that won't make you break a sweat. Light organza, lace, cotton or silk scarves are all wearable in the summertime. I designed a matching pastel organza scarf to the latest Kate Stoltz NYC summer crop top instead of attaching it to the crop top pattern. The removable scarf can be worn around the neck, or tied around a handbag handle as a cute accessory. While I love the bow trend, trends have a tendency to disappear within a couple of weeks or months. Because of that, I wanted to create a top that can be changed based on the Kate Stoltz NYC customer's mood.


These are poems about pain, heartache and sadness. Usually the kind that comes when you lose someone, have lost love, or just lose your grip.
Is this really how you needed it to end?
Does it give you those bad dreams at night?
"i'm just so happy, that's all.
for you to get over me?
the way i love you?


So I'm in a position where I've been accepted to a private university and the state university in which I would really love to attend their med school in the future.
The private school is relatively cheap as far as privates go, 22k a year, and I've already been awarded 10k in scholarships and grants for this upcoming year and more scholarship opportunities as I prove my worth. I've kind of been sold on the small class size and solid adviser relationships.The state school on the other hand will be somewhere around 9k a year and is the institution where I would love to attend med school.
Any advice as to which I should choose? Do attending the school for undergrad and applying to their med school hold any weight with admissions?
P.S. I will be an independent student, so I will be living off of student loans and possibly part time work if I can manage it.
state med schools do take mostly in-state students, so if thats where you wanna be at after undergrad, id go with the state school. it still seems cheaper than the private school even after scholarships.
I would go with the private school.
I currently attend 1 and it is GREAT to know that all your professors know your name and about YOU as a person. this will make LOR's very personal and better than letters you get from a teacher that hardly knows you.
But if you think you reallly cant afford it then the state school is ok.
Talk to financial aid, there is always more scholarship money out there for provate schools.
How well a professor knows you is all about how you assert yourself in class and in extracurricular activities related to your department.
Depending on the state you live in, medical schools SOMETIMES "look down" on state schools (best example is the Cal State Univ system is California.) So, some admissions committees will look better upon you if you go to a private school. However, from personal experience it is always better to go to the cheaper school, because med school will add anywhere from 125K-300K to your debt load, and it is best to add the MINIMUM amount possible from undergrad to this hefty amount. Someone else posted about small class sizes and instructor attention. Yes, you MUST have at least 2 science professors write you letters when it is time to apply to med school. If you are in a Bio class with 200 people, it is hard to get the attention of the professor and create some type of relationship. It is much easier if you are in a class of 80-100. At some state schools, class sizes are smaller. Bottom line: no easy answer. Go with your gut feeling.
I go to a small state undergrad. It is perfect for me. Someone else mentioned liking small class sizes, and that is exactly what I have. My bio 101, my biggest class, had 100 students. Most of mine have about 20, with labs about 10-15.
You don't need to go to a private school for small class sizes, just a smaller state one.
I literally laughed out loud when I read a thread on here saying "you are a premed gunner if more than 2or 3 professors know you by name" Well hell if thats the truth I am the ultimate! I've got at least 10 professors that know me.
At least you aren't thinking about going to your undergrad for prestige . That is useless.
Normal tuition is only $185 per credit hour, so 185x16=3000 per semester FULL PRICE. I had decent SAT scores and a good high school gpa, so I got a scholarship for about 90% of that. Scholarship are really common here, because these small state colleges need to attract better than average students to bring their averages up.
My total cost, after 4 years of college at a fully accredited university with a (small) branch of the medical school I was accepted to, that led to good MCAT scores, and a killer GPA, was about 2400 out of pocket. Go to your private undergrad if you want to spend more than my entire undergraduate education on a meal plan. Otherwise, go cheap. Undergrad is a means to an end my friend.
No way. This is simply not true. MAYBE a community college, but a 4 year state university? no freaking way.
The private school is 22k - 10k and you can potentially get even more scholarships? That isn't really financially any worse than your state school, so if you like the private school better, why not go there?
i transferred from a public to a private and the difference in the quality of education and the student body is huge. you will get a lot more out of your experience at the private (as long as you've visited and know you will be happy, etc). just my 2 cents.
