The Champions League finalists are confirmed! It will be a clash of the titans between German champions Bayern Munich and French champions Paris Saint-Germain, also known as PSG. Bayern Munich continued to steamroll through the tournament, although the 3-0 victory over Lyon was closer than it looked. Meanwhile, PSG grabbed an early lead against RB Leipzig and never gave it back, advancing to the team's first ever Champions League final. Who will be able to win the match, as well as Europe's ultimate trophy?
PSG are probably one of the most popular teams in the world, despite never achieving much Champions League success. This is mainly due to the team's rich Qatari owners, who have used their vast funds to bring in the likes of David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Kylian Mbappe, Gianluigi Buffon, and Neymar Jr. to the French capital at some point in their careers, but it helps that PSG have dominated the French Ligue 1. In the past ten seasons, have finished in the top four ten times and won the league seven times.
This year, despite a strong squad, PSG have struggled at times against Champions League opponents. They succeeded in winning Group A of the Champions League and were drawn up against Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16. In what would be one of the last Champions League games played in front of fans, PSG lost 2-1 in Dortmund thanks to a brace from Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. Just before the season was halted, PSG played Dortmund at home in an empty stadium and won 2-0 to have a narrow 3-2 aggregate win. Several months later, PSG played Atalanta in the quarter-finals, winning 2-1 after two goals in injury time, including a 93rd minute goal by substitute Eric Choupo-Moting.
With Mbappe fully recovered and Neymar in top form, PSG's elite offense could help PSG win a first ever Champions League, and this would be a perfect farewell match for 35-year old Thiago Silva. However, to do that, they'll have to get past…
Bayern are arguably the most in-form team in the world right now. The Bavarians have now won 20 games in a row, including wins over Chelsea, Barcelona, Schalke, Dortmund, Leverkusen, and Lyon. Coach Hans-Dieter Flick has done a superb job since taking over, as Niko Kovac's Bayern were struggling, with Kovac's last game being a 5-1 loss to Eintracht. Flick has also been key in Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, and Jerome Boateng regaining form, as Muller finished the season with a Bundesliga record 21 assists. Of those 21 assists, 17 came during Flick's reign.
Bayern Munich have also used smart finances to climb to the top of Germany and now possibly Europe. PSG spent $244 million on Neymar – more than Bayern spent on Thiago, Robert Lewandowski, Serge Gnabry, Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman, Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, Thomas Muller, David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, Niklas Süle, Leon Goretzka, and Michaël Cuisance combined. There's still change left, and that isn't including loan players Perisic and Coutinho.
Bayern have clearly dominated Europe, winning every single game in the Champions League they have played. No losses. No ties. Robert Lewandowski is the top scorer in the Champions League, DFB Pokal, and Bundesliga. Serge Gnabry is averaging a goal a game in the Champions League, and has been superb in away games. However, Bayern have yet to play a young team with such a quick, effective counter attack like PSG, and Lyon demonstrated that Bayern can be caught in the back.
Sorry, PSG. You'll have to wait another year. Bayern win the match 2-0, as Serge Gnabry gets yet another goal and Robert Lewandowski continues his European dominance, scoring the other goal as Bayern win the treble, repeating 2013's feat.

When he stepped onto the Austin City Limits stage for the very first time on that brisk January day in 1978, Merle Haggard was at the top of his game. It had been over a decade since his first national hit, "Sing A Sad Song," and not that long after "Okie from Muskogee" had firmly planted his music in the public consciousness. He had already been declared "Entertainer of the Year" by both the Country Music Awards and Academy of Country Music - in the same year (1970). He had just released A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World (Or My Salute to Bob Wills), which sparked a revival of interest in western swing. And with his band, The Strangers, it's no stretch to say that he had the best live show in country music of his day.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Josie Nies
Freshman scores a career-high 20 points in regional final win over RC
Freshman Josie Nies made four first-half 3-pointers without a miss and finished with a career-high 20 points and six assists to lead Platteville to a dominating 6044 victory over 10th-ranked Richland Center in a WIAA Division 3 regional final Monday night.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Swnews4u.com Athlete of the Week is a web-only feature that will publish each Thursday throughout the calendar year.
Josie Nies, Fr., PG, Platteville girls basketball
Josie Nies is a member of Platteville's heralded freshman class that has led the Hillmen to a second straight Southwest Wisconsin Conference, but at times this year has been overshadow by classmate Sami Martin and junior Skye Digman. But last week Nies rose to the occasion in Platteville's biggest game of the year to date.
Just two nights after scoring a career-high 14 points in a 63–46 WIAA Division 3 regional semifinal victory over River Valley, Nies played her best game of the year. The freshman point guard made four first-half 3-pointers without a miss and erupted for a career-high 20 points and passed out six assists as Platteville hammered SWC rival and 10th-ranked Richland Center (20–3) 60–44 in a D3 regional championship game Monday night.
Nies made a layup a minute into the game, then buried her first triple on an inbound play to tie the game at 5–5 and erase the Hornets' final lead of the night. Martin added a pair of free throws on the next possession, junior Rachel Bailie converted a three-point play moment later and junior Skye Digman scored in the post on a nifty feed from Nies the ensuing Hillmen possession.
Then, Nies buried back-to-back 3-pointers to push the Platteville lead to 21–7 with 11:46 left in the half, just moments after Digman went to the bench with her second foul. Nies hit a stepback 3-pointer with two minutes left in the half, then assisted on a Martin layup and set up Martin's buzzer-beating 3-pointer that gave the Hillmen a comfortable 35–20 halftime cushion.
"Josie played her best game of the season with the obvious 20 points but she also made good decisions with the ball and defended well," said Platteville head coach Brandon Temperly. "One of the best qualities our team has is we love to win.
We have girls at many positions that are capable of scoring big numbers and we have girls that enjoy playing tough defense. Each night we have girls ready to step up and score if they have a mismatch. [Monday night] happened to be Josie's night but other girls will be ready when called upon."
Nies, who averages 7.6 points and a team-high 4.5 assists per game, will lead Platteville against top-seeded Wisconsin Dells (21–3) in a D3 sectional semifinal tonight at Baraboo High School.

Cole Crubel, Fr., G, River Ridge boys basketball
Crubel matched a career-high with 32 points and missed just one shot in River Ridge's 64–53 WIAA Division 5 regional quarterfinal victory over 11th-seeded Southwestern Tuesday night. Crubel also scored 10 points as Ridge rallied from a 20-point deficit with eight mintues left in regulation to defeat Highland 62–55 in overtime in last Thursday's regular season finale. Crubel and the Timberwolves will get another crack at the Cardinals in Friday's WIAA D5 regional semifinal at Highland.

Leahy also grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked five shots in the win.

MAST WATER TECHNOLOGY ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Adam Larson
MAST WATER TECHNOLOGY ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Hayden Knapp


Franz Hemmerle, 70, is a jeweler and goldsmith in the fourth generation. He was about 33 years co-owner of the world famous and renowned jeweler Hamid on the Munich Maximilianstrasse and is working now as a senior partner and designer for the newly established Online jewelry store RENESIM.COM. One reason for me, more about it and also a bit about his father-in-law, René Sim Lacaze, to learn the eponym of the E-commerce project by Maximilian Hemmerle and Georg Schmidt-Sailer.
Mr Hamid, we find an easy entry. What is your favorite gemstone?
My mother had a cashmere used Sapphire, who was very long without a doubt my favorite stone. A stone in a wonderful, soft, velvety blue. Today I actually no favorite gemstone more. Rather, all stones like equally well. This is probably, that I in the course of time and with increasing experience knows how to appreciate the beauty of each gemstone and accordingly find just stunning to everyone for themselves. It always amazes me yourself, how much varieties and colors of stones in nature are found.
Allow us to participate in a curious history in your long career.
A curious event happened to me at the age of 22. We had our store (jeweler Hamid – NB Author), as also today still in the Maximilianstrasse, a very classy address in Munich. One day market was a woman from the Viktualienmarkt, exactly, how you imagine it, in our business. My staff thought that the market woman, not necessarily is the right clientele so yet elegant shop with her clothes, and they took me ´ ´ to help. I should the Lady either kindly hinauskomplimentiere, or just see what I can do with it. In the true Bavarian market woman said: "Mr Hamid, I want something nice when you buy". Then I presented the most affordable brooch you, we had at that time in the offer. "No, no, it can be quiet something better", replied the market woman. All right, so handle I purposefully to an expensive piece. At that time, we had a very nice, new Opal flower shop. It was cut from a Mexican Opal, filled with emeralds and worked in gold. She immediately took a liking and enthusiastically said "I'll take that". Spoke and their 3 or 5 skirts lifted at the same time and a bunch took out from the bottom "skirt drawer" money bills and laid me calmly, then proud, 11,000 DM cash on the table. With the bundle of money wedelnd I went then to my staff and said with a wink "that could have been your business! Better you not judge customers in the future according to their outward appearance".
What jewelry piece that you ever were able to design, had you the most pleasure?
Describe us your favorite customer / your favorite customers.
Here I would attract like a customer, which I greatly appreciated for the following reasons. He had new requests on a regular basis. His demands on the quality and the uniqueness of the stones was very high. He wanted to buy accordingly always the best stone of its category. And he knew just always precisely formulated what he wanted, that is to say he had an idea and that has. For example, he came up to me and said: "today I would like to give my wife a frog. They make me beautiful designs for a frog, please." In this task, I have asked my French father in law (René SIM Lacaze) for help, drew me a few frogs which I then arranged and that customers have actually fallen.
I like to have customers that what they want to know at least a little bit and high demands on quality of work. Such customers is me what she wants rather than those who come to me and has no idea about it. And is also too difficult to convince, because she always a distrust with him inside. A healthy distrust is not so wrong, but when a customer explicitly comes to me, then I presume just that he has confidence in me and my abilities.
To which existing (or even non-existent) project would you like to participate in? Except RENESIM.COM, of course.
Since I have to get out perhaps a bit further. In London, there is the Victoria & Albert Museum, which boasts a rich, wonderful jewelry collection. And in this respect I am thinking of the saying of the Munich gallerist Konrad O. Bernheimer, who once said: "Munich has an equally large and important collection such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York, however, may not exhibit them." Also I have found consistently that several museums possess its own collection of jewelry. I would hope therefore a project in which the jewelry, which is at the us in five museums (including the Bavarian National Museum, the State Antiquities collection in addition to the Glyptothek, the Residenz Museum and the Danner's Rotunda in the Pinakothek der Moderne), will be issued together and made available to the public.
There, you could go then too, sometimes with the customer, this a little influence and also see what jewellery line like him. I remember that on the Fabergé exhibition in Munich, which had a huge supply. It has can be seen very well, what interests people. An exhibition of such, as I hope they may be but also not to "Museum". Hot, the exhibition should be so also in conjunction with photos or people carrying films of jewelry, are available.
Explain how the design to us.
If I so should draw something for a customer, I tried always to think out something completely new. Over the years, it is but then safe in the taste and his ideas and no longer tries to invent something entirely new.
Earlier, I tried to draw a beautiful piece of jewelry, what looked then like a small image or a thumbnail. And the disappointment of the design had with then unfortunately sometimes until the completion and the astonishment at the client, who could have imagined otherwise slightly under the drawing, than what actually was realized. I am therefore today more modern techniques to apply, i.e., Illustrator, and Photoshop. In my eyes, it is to represent jewelry pretends nothing else than it will be later.
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works" (Steve Jobs – 2003). Please interpret this statement for us.
In our previous, common time, my brother and I have always very precious materials used and produced very many pieces of jewelry, for example, from Platinum or 900 gold. We felt this very precious and valuable.
When I think about it today, I would say that this approach was not always the customer and his wishes of wearing contrary. Because the precious material alone is not always what a high benefit for the wearer or the bearer. And so I interpret even the testimony of Steve Jobs, especially bearing in mind that I am a huge Apple fan.
The design has to be undoubtedly good, but also very great importance to the function of the jewelry piece. That starts with the lock, which must be easy to use and continues not to weight, the ear of the customer down to hang up big toe nail.
Describe us your father-in-law, René SIM Lacaze, one of the most influential jewellery designers of the 20th century in Europe, and among other things from 1926 Co Chief Designer at Van Cleef & Arpels.
I've always admired him and greatly appreciated. Just because of its vitality, understanding of the jewelry industry and also because of its openness, in which he described everything. For me, he was a brilliant designer and father-in-law. Anyone who has taken me seriously and promoted. So I remember very well, as he has put together a small paint box trip me, with all the tubes, it was necessary to represent as artfully rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Shopped we have of course still real in a typical Parisian specialty store for artists to the Louvre.
My father-in-law partially introduced me into the mysteries of his designer art and showed me many little tricks and gimmicks. In addition he taught me, how each must work, if you have to be ready in three hours, or if you want to draw a high-class design.
In an American magazine I read about him, that he was the first, which it understood to represent three dimensional jewelry. He has painted his designs always on transparent paper and backed with black or matching foil. My father-in-law had always great emphasis that the jewelry was as beautifully displayed.
My beautiful memories of him have been freshened again this that I have inherited from him, without knowing it, his biography. None of the children wanted to have those biography, which he could unfortunately not longer even publish. These loose, handwritten sheet collection with numerous chapters, written in a beautiful French and peppered with numerous paintings, is really a great work. The foreword is written by the famous French actress Marina Vlady and all his friends were described by him in the biography. One and a half years ago I have made the effort, to tap it into the computer and to bring in bound form. Maybe the biography sometimes enters the Internet…da I'm not quite sure.
There you can read then surely that my father-in-law with 70 has ceased to draw jewelry and are then fulfilled a large, has always cherished, desire. And the painter to be. He pursued this second career up to the age of 95. He went every day somewhere, to paint pictures which he then sold for a good cause.
Her first reaction, as your son (Maximilian) subjected to you the business idea RENESIM.COM .
So, I have to say I liked the idea. Also because it was always a secret idea of me. If I could once again be jewelry, then I would hook up with modern techniques, such as just the Internet. In this respect it was out of the question by hand to support my son and his business partner in this enterprise and to pass on my knowledge, skills and contacts, and share.
How has the jewelry industry changed over the years?
I would like to turn to two changes I've observed over the years. Today jewelry pieces are brilliant designers no longer designed, but rather influenced by clever marketing people and designed by. I can explain that based on my personal experience. I was Yes 33 years in a family business since it bought a stone, because he liked one and you wanted to do now something beautiful out of it Maybe we still thought that it definitely would be something for the customers of X or Y customers. But this idea was not very pronounced. It was first and foremost to create a beautiful piece of jewelry. After that, I was for six years at Bulgari. There I heard up close, what influence has the marketing. That went so far that we had to sign as Managing Director of Bulgari shop of Headquarters, what the competition (E.g. Cartier o. Tiffany) offered in a certain price range E.g. ear plugs. And according to this information, jewelry has been since then. No wonder that Bulgari by 1950 or 1970 was a lot more interesting and individual than today. Fortunately there is a trend but again back to the individuality and its own, unmistakable design.
But also the behavior of the German customers has changed. The jewelry was something very desirable and important, a tool for self expression in the 60s and 70s. That has changed a lot so, that today jewelry instead has become a beautiful thing.
Mr Hamid, thank you very much for the interview.

Tenant Power Returns
How Portland, Maine, Passed Rent Control
Organizers drew broad support with a multi-pronged campaign and found ways to get signatures in a pandemic to win rent stabilization and a slate of other progressive laws.
By Sandra Larson -

When voters in St. Paul, Minnesota, approved rent stabilization in 2021, it garnered national attention, not least for the measure's notably low 3 percent cap on rent hikes. Rent stabilization efforts are underway now in at least six U.S. cities and states, including Boston, where advocates and the city's new mayor face a steep uphill climb.
Flying lower on the radar is a rent control ordinance that passed in Portland, Maine, a year before St. Paul's measure did. In November 2020, 57 percent of voters in the city of 70,000 said yes to the proposed law, which instituted an initial rent freeze under which base rents established as of Jan. 1, 2022, could be no higher than in June 2020, and after that date limits rent increases to no more than 10 percent and no more often than once per year.
The successful campaign, led by the Maine Democratic Socialists of America (Maine DSA), came three years after an earlier attempt to pass rent control failed.
Rent Control Groundwork Laid in 2017
Rents in Portland had jumped 40 percent in the five years leading up to 2015, while median renter income fell. The city has long housed a solid core of working-class residents such as laborers and restaurant and retail workers, but its growing reputation as an appealing coastal city and a great foodie town (Bon Appétit named it "America's Foodiest Small Town" in 2009) helped draw more affluent tourists and new residents, creating strong demand for short-term vacation rentals and an ever-tighter housing supply.
"There was an enormous rental crisis," says Jack O'Brien, who was active in Fair Rent Portland, a grassroots group that formed in 2017 and tried to put the brakes on rent hikes with a rent stabilization referendum. "Airbnb came in and we lost 400 units—about 3 percent of the market. We had a rent spike. Long-term residents were pushed out. And there was very little tenant organizing at that time."

The 2017 measure was defeated by a nearly two-to-one margin. The inexperienced activists were heavily outgunned in fundraising and media presence by an opposing "Say No to Rent Control" effort. In addition, it was an off-election year, which O'Brien notes tends to draw low turnout with a high proportion of homeowning voters.
"Tactically, that was a mistake," O'Brien says of the timing. "But [the campaign] set us up well for the future."
The 2020 Campaign
In 2020, the political climate was far more ripe for radical change, says Buddy Moore, a member of Maine DSA and co-chair of its political education program.
"With COVID, George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, Trump up for reelection—there was a lot of political energy. People were ready to act to bring about economic and racial justice, to bring more power back into the hands of working-class folks," Moore says.
He describes a unique and uneasy mix in Portland, the hub of the purple state's more liberal southern part.
"Portland is a place that fancies itself a foodie paradise, but the people who work here can't afford to live here," Moore says. "The city is considered 'liberal and livable,' but there's a dynamic where working-class people who may be more left-wing than the liberal ruling class may not have a mouthpiece. We have radical organizations here that bring a real radical left-wing aspect to our politics."
Maine DSA launched the People First Portland movement in 2020 to draft ordinances for a slate of progressive reforms. They created five referendums covering rent control, fair wages, limits to facial recognition surveillance, a local Green New Deal, and restrictions on short-term rentals like Airbnb.
[RELATED: Does Airbnb Cause Rents to Increase?]
People First Portland's membership broadened and expanded over the summer, gaining lawyer partners and endorsements from groups such as Maine ACLU and Black Power Portland.
Pushing for multiple causes was one of the campaign's success factors, says O'Brien, who was involved in this campaign as well, coordinating the rent control strand. The varied referendums helped to draw support from not only tenants, but also labor groups that stood to benefit from the green new deal and the minimum wage increase, and others with environmental and civil liberties concerns.
"The idea was, let's do a bunch of referenda—a vision of how the city could be. What could be done in city government on issues affecting many types of residents?" says O'Brien. "It was a good way to access Portlanders we hadn't reached before."
Organizers went forth with door-knocking and flyering, and they also launched a significant social media effort.
"We had a great social media campaign," says O'Brien. "We had a 'troll patrol,' where media-savvy people would interact with people who made comments and explain the issues. We kept highlighting how pro-business the city council was and how they weren't doing anything about the homeless, even with hundreds of people visible on the streets."
The campaign heated up, and when local homelessness activists held a camp-in with tents outside city hall, DSA members were on hand providing food and water and phone charging. The aim was to highlight how the city was not doing enough, while organizations like DSA were responding to real needs in real time.
"An incredible sense of solidarity grew out of that," says O'Brien. "Other organizing groups came into the fold."
When it came to gathering signatures, COVID restrictions prohibited the sorts of large events where organizers would typically show up with clipboards. But they were able to make inroads at Black Lives Matter protests, and an alternative strategy—assigning 30 people to get 25 signatures each from their close friends and connections—worked surprisingly well.
"That was a real boon," O'Brien says of the small-group targeted outreach. "It seeded some very dense conversations, and people recruited volunteers in the process."
A Success, 'Not a Panacea'
On Election Day 2020, all the measures except the short-term rental restrictions passed. The rent control measure's 57 percent support stunned even the organizers.
"We couldn't believe it. We won even in districts we thought we'd lose. Many were blowouts. It was genuinely difficult to get our minds around it," O'Brien says.
Besides the 18-month rent freeze and 10 percent cap, the new law requires that landlords provide renters with a 75-day notice before a rent increase, and a 90-day notice before a no-fault eviction; it also prohibits discrimination based on how rent is funded, such as with a housing subsidy; and requires landlords to provide the city's Rental Housing Rights document to all tenants. The ordinance established a new Rent Board to hear tenant complaints, provide mediation for tenant-landlord disputes, and consider landlord requests to raise rents for reasons not covered by the ordinance. As is the case with most rent control laws, owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units are exempt.
Within the 10 percent cap, landlords can raise rents only for certain reasons: A 5 percent increase is allowed when a unit turns over to a new tenant; and increases in local property taxes or the regional consumer price index (CPI) can be passed along. For any other rent increases, such as property renovations, landlords must seek Rent Board approval.
When crafting the ordinance, organizers saw 10 percent as an upper cap—higher than they would have liked, but necessary to strike a balance with landlord needs. They expected rent increases to effectively be closer to 2 or 3 percent. But since the measure passed, inflation (and thus CPI) spiked and Portland instituted a property tax increase—so landlords have been able to impose the full 10 percent increase.
Even so, Moore believes the rent control measure will help steady the city's rental market and can have far-reaching positive effects.
"We recognize that rent stabilization is one piece of the puzzle. It's not a panacea. But it slows down the process of inflating rents more and more each year," he says. "Its success marked a significant transfer of power, and hopefully a transfer of wealth, from the liberal capitalized class to the workers."
Next Up: Continued Tweaking
People First Portland organizers are still working to improve the ordinance. The ability to raise rents on vacant units, for instance, incentivizes some landlords to evict tenants.
"We've seen comrades and friends removed from their homes so a landlord can make a little extra money," Moore says. "We're trying to address this in a new ballot question this November, restricting that increase to voluntary move-outs only."
O'Brien notes promising signs of a snowball effect: Biddeford, Maine, and other towns have started conversations about rent stabilization, and when a corporate landlord bought a building in the nearby city of South Portland this year and announced dramatic rent increases, the city council quickly passed a six-month rent cap.
"It's spreading," he says. "In South Portland, it wasn't activists pushing it—the council could see the need. We could see how the conversation has evolved."
Editor's note: The ballot questions in Portland met with mixed success. Question C, which would institute a 90-day notice for lease termination (whether the tenant had a lease or not), set a limit on security deposits, and prohibit application fees and other fees, passed with 54 percent of the vote. Two ballot proposals that would have regulated short-term rentals both failed, with 55 percent of Portland residents voting no.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly indicated that People First Portland organized a camp-in held outside city hall. People's Housing Coalition organized that event. Shelterforce apologizes for the error.

Barcelona is emerging again as a travel hot spot in Spain. It is home to Europe's main Mediterranean ports. It is now expected to receive 70,000 passengers a year from flights originating in the East Midlands. EasyJet, a discount airline, now offers flights at reasonable rates from the East Midlands to Barcelona. They also have plans to add a route to Palma, Majorca.
Barcelona is a cultural center and popular tourist destination. Its rich heritage and mild climate make it an attractive place to be anytime of the year. Winters in Barcelona are humid and the summers are dry.
Barcelona offers plenty to do for everyone in the family. Barcelona has it all, from amazing architectural structures to live entertainment and active nightlife.
* Theater and live entertainment.
* Museums, including art, history, science and more.
* Monuments, towers and arches.
* Architecture and buildings from medieval times.
* Bus tours that feature the highlights of the city.
* Walking tours and bike rentals.
The only drawback about Barcelona is that it has the highest cost of living in Spain. It is also said that certain shopping areas in Barcelona, like Las Rambas (a busy tree-lined walkway covered in tiles) put holiday-makers at risk for pick-pockets. Use a little caution and keep a close eye on your belongings when traveling through these districts.
The main shopping areas tend to be very expensive. Save money by shopping in the less crowded areas that aren't overrun by tourists.
Getting around by car in Barcelona is not a fun experience. Parking is expensive and the charge for overnight parking is outrageous. Furthermore, driving through the city's streets can leave you frazzled and lost. Bring a high-quality mapping system and plan your route ahead of time if you must travel by car. Many of Barcelona's streets are one-way and difficult to maneuver. Choose one of the good Barcelona hotels and the reception in the hotel will be able to advise.
It is more cost-effective and safe to sign up for a bus tour, use the local transit system, rent a bike or walk to local destinations. Barcelona also features airports and docks for ferry boats.
Taking a ferry from Barcelona to Menorca is another way to expand your holiday and see more sites without having to spend a lot more money. Ferry services offer as many as seven or eight trips per day from Barcelona to Menorca. Take an excursion without adding a lot of travel time or expenses.
New flights make it even easier to stop for a weekend visit in Barcelona before going to Menorca on holiday. EasyJet's budget friendly prices make it worth your while to extend your trip a few extra days. Stop in Barcelona and take in some of the culture and history before hitting the sandy beaches and picturesque scenery in Menorca.

Q: Jquery find('*') doubling A tags I'm slightly confused by the Jquery find('*') on an element finding A tags. My example code is below:

Example text

More from our Diet Debate series:

Read: Is breakfast a waste of time?

Watch: How healthy is your breakfast?

Cell 3

Cell 4

Js Code
$(elem).find('*').each(function(){
   if ($(this).html().indexOf('breakfast') > 0){
       alert($(this).html());
    }
});

Alert is however alerting twice per A tag. It shows the inner text and the outer text (full a html). However I am relying on moving elements and replacing them so this code ends up outputting links twice on the same page. Am I missing something obvious?

A: Your code is matching the a tags and any ancestors of the a tags because * matches all DOM elements within the elem (which is your LIs). In your example it will match the p tags as well as the a tags.
Use a scoped selector that targets only the a tags:
e.g.
// Elem here is the li about
$("a", elem).each(function(){
    if ($(this).html().indexOf('breakfast') >= 0){
        alert($(this).html());
    }
});

Or simpler using :contains:
$("a:contains(breakfast)", elem).each(function(){
    alert($(this).html());
});

Note: Your code only allows for text containing breakfast but not Breakfast (e.g. if it was at the start and capitalized) as the check is case-sensitive.

Looking for a new dental professional? Whether your dental professional is retiring, you've moved, or for any other reason, you'll want to make sure you choose the best dentist in Kohala for you when you need to choose a new dentist. However, choosing the right dental specialist can be tough, especially when you're not sure what to look for. But when you know what to look for, it won't be long until you find the best fit for you.
When you're looking to register as a patient with a new dentist, knowing what to look for is key. To learn more, here are a few tips to help you make sure that you choose the best specialist for your dental needs.
First things first; you're going to want to start with some research. Find out which dental offices are in your area and what types of services they offer. You'll want to keep in mind your dental needs when you are choosing a dental office so be sure to check websites, reviews, and more. The more that you know, the better you'll be able to make an informed decision.

Q: How to manage a list in python Here are the two lists I have  :
l1 = ['5', '10', '15', '20', '25', '30', '35', '40', '45']
l2 = ['0.011530', '0.039914', '0.085069', '0.145798', '0.213572', '0.287898', '0.355587', '0.413209', '0.472346']

thanks to these two lists I would like to create two lists with the same values but with some changes :
new_list1 = [5,10,10,15,15,20,20,25,25,30,30,35,35,40,40,45,45]
new_list2 = ['0.011530', '0.011530', '0.039914', '0.039914', '0.085069', '0.085069', '0.145798', '0.145798', '0.213572', '0.213572', '0.287898', '0.287898', '0.355587', '0.355587', '0.413209', '0.413209', '0.472346']

the purpose of this two new lists is to create a graph and instead of a line, I will get steps.
[What I dont want]

[What I want]

so as a beginner i wrote that :
def test():

  new_list1.insert(0,l1[0])
  new_list2.insert(0,l2[0])

  new_list1.insert(1,l1[1])
  new_list2.insert(1,l2[0])

  new_list1.insert(2,l1[1])
  new_list2.insert(2,l2[1])

  new_list1.insert(3,l1[2])
  new_list2.insert(3,l2[1])

  new_list1.insert(4,l1[2])
  new_list2.insert(4,l2[2])

  new_list1.insert(5,l1[3])
  new_list2.insert(5,l2[2])

  new_list1.insert(6,l1[3])
  new_list2.insert(6,l2[3])

  new_list1.insert(7,l1[4])
  new_list2.insert(7,l2[3])

  new_list1.insert(8,l1[4])
  new_list2.insert(8,l2[4])

  new_list1.insert(9,l1[5])
  new_list2.insert(9,l2[4])

  new_list1.insert(10,l1[5])
  new_list2.insert(10,l2[5])

  new_list1.insert(11,l1[6])
  new_list2.insert(11,l2[5])

  new_list1.insert(12,l1[6])
  new_list2.insert(12,l2[6])

  new_list1.insert(13,l1[7])
  new_list2.insert(13,l2[6])

  new_list1.insert(14,l1[7])
  new_list2.insert(14,l2[7])

  new_list1.insert(15,l1[8])
  new_list2.insert(15,l2[7])

  new_list1.insert(16,l1[8])
  new_list2.insert(16,l2[8])

  print(new_list1)
  print(new_list2)

  x = np.array(new_list1)
  y = np.array(new_list2)

  # plotting
  plt.title("Line graph")
  plt.xlabel("X axis")
  plt.ylabel("Y axis")
  plt.plot(x, y, color ="green")
  plt.show()

which makes the trick, but I want it to be more "beautiful" and easy to read, with some "for" loop.
How can I do that ?

A: You can use plt.step(x,t) this way:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

l1 = ['5', '10', '15', '20', '25', '30', '35', '40', '45']
l2 = ['0.011530', '0.039914', '0.085069', '0.145798', '0.213572', '0.287898', '0.355587', '0.413209', '0.472346']

x = [int(v) for v in l1]
y = [float(k) for k in l2]

plt.step(x, y)

A: This is the for loop that I believe replaces your insert functions.
def test():
  for i in range(16+1):
    new_list1.append(l1[i//2+i%2])
    new_list2.append(l2[i//2])

A: This is my method, which I think is pretty easy to understand:
new_lst1 = []
new_lst2 = []

for count, i in enumerate(l1):
    if count != 0:
        new_lst1.append(int(i))
        new_lst1.append(int(i))
    else:
        new_lst1.append(int(i))

for count, i in enumerate(l2):
    if count != len(l2) - 1:
        new_lst2.append(i)
        new_lst2.append(i)
    else:
        new_lst2.append(i)

Basically, the enumerate allows us to loop through the list while simultaneously getting the count of the list. This allows us to only add one 5.

A: You don't need to mess with your original array at all!
plt.plot() takes an argument drawstyle, which you can set to 'steps' to get your desired output without any changes to the original array.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

l1 = ['5', '10', '15', '20', '25', '30', '35', '40', '45']
l2 = ['0.011530', '0.039914', '0.085069', '0.145798', '0.213572', '0.287898', '0.355587', '0.413209', '0.472346']

x = [int(v) for v in l1]
y = [float(k) for k in l2]

plt.plot(x, y, drawstyle='steps')

However, note that this is not the plot you want: In your plot, the first horizontal line is at the y=0.011530, but in this one it is at y=0.039914.
To fix this, you simply need to duplicate the last x value and the first y value
x.insert(-1, x[-1])
y.insert(0, y[0])
plt.plot(x, y, drawstyle='steps')

If you still want to mess with your array, use a loop!
new_list_x = []
new_list_y = []
# zip three lists:
#    0th through penultimate elements of x -> currentX
#    0th through penultimate elements of y -> currentY
#    1st through last elements of x -> nextX
for currentX, currentY, nextX in zip(x[:-1], y[:-1], x[1:]):
    # Add the point at the current (x, y)
    new_list_x.append(currentX)
    new_list_y.append(currentY)

    # Add the point at the next x but the current y
    new_list_x.append(nextX)
    new_list_y.append(currentY)

plt.plot(new_list_x, new_list_y)

Digital Histories – A Family Tale
Why use network models?
An area of data visualisation, which I have been exploring in another online course (Social Network Analysis from the University of Michigan, via Coursera), are network models. Network models are designed to simplify complex networks in a manner which allows the reader to view patterns and relationships which may be hidden in a mass of data. In addition, they have the benefit that properties can be derived mathematically – which means properties and outcomes can be predicted. By exploring models in this way, we can draw conclusions about a particular network (also known as a graph).
Networks are made up of nodes (points or dots) and edges (lines). Nodes are said to have a degree (the number of connections with other nodes); in a network where the links are directed (link to or from a node), this is further defined as in-degree and out-degree. In a simple network (without self-edges or multiple-edges between nodes) the maximum degree of any node is (n-1) – the total number of nodes minus the chosen node.
Random Graphs
To explore a network, we need to see whether it is behaving in a particular way, and therefore need to consider whether this behaviour could be viewed as random. The Erdös-Rényi random graph makes several assumptions: that nodes connect at random, that the network is undirected, and uses a key parameter, for example the probability that any two nodes share an edge (p).
The degree distribution of a random graph will assume that the probability of whether one node is connected to another is independent (i.e. not affected by any other node being connected), and equally likely to occur/not occur – this is a binomial distribution. The binomial distribution tells us the probability that a particular node will have a specific degree (k).
Binomial Distribution = [pmath size=16] ({n-1} /k) p^k (1 – p)^{n-1-k} [/pmath]
[pmath size=12]~n [/pmath] is defined as the number of nodes
[pmath size=12]~k [/pmath] is defined as degree
[pmath size=12]~p [/pmath] is defined as probability
We can also work out:
the average degree: [pmath size=14] (n-1)p [/pmath]
the variance: [pmath size=14] sigma^2 = (n-1)p(1-p) [/pmath]
the standard deviation: [pmath size=14] sigma = sqrt{sigma^2} [/pmath]
Use of NetLogo and Gephi to analyse a social network
If we have a network we wish to explore, we can compare it to one or more models to see whether it is similar, and what the similarities and differences suggest. NetLogo is a free piece of software which enables you to run network models. Below, I have a screenshot from the Erdös-Rényi random model:
Erdös-Renyi
In this model, with 100 nodes, we can see that the nodes are all linked into one giant component and the average degree is 6 edges per node. The random model does not have hubs (nodes with considerably higher degree than other nodes).
I took a Facebook network (my husband's, as I haven't got an active Facebook account) and created a visualisation. The Facebook network data was extracted using NetGet (a version of Netvizz with reduced functionality). While Facebook allows the extraction of data like this relatively easily, other social media sites, for example Twitter, do not, for extracting data from a wider range of sites this may help (Windows only). To ensure anonymity, I have only reproduced the image of the network, and not the interactive version.
Facebook Social Network
To carry out the visualisation, I used Gephi, a free piece of software which allows the user to create data visualisations. In the example below, I used the Force Atlas 2 layout algorithm, coloured the nodes according to gender (red are male, blue are female), and altered the size of the nodes to reflect the degree (the number of edges which attach to a node).
The giant component (the large central mass of nodes and edges) is a network of work colleagues. The satellite groups represent networks from previous jobs, and groups of friends from different locations and periods of time.
Unsurprisingly, the work network has nodes with higher degree than the personal networks. What is interesting is that in many of the groups there is an individual who acts as a central node, linking the group members together.
The layout suggests a globe or world map, which in itself is interesting as this could be viewed as a personal, social media 'world'.
In the Facebook model, there are 142 nodes, and the average degree is 8, however the giant component only makes up 42% of the total, and there are several hubs of various sizes. This tells us that a Facebook network does not follow the pattern of the Erdös-Renyi model and therefore is not random. As this is a social network, the nodes are likely to be created over time rather than all at once. The presence of the hubs, suggests that some of the nodes (contacts) seem to attract more edges than others – a power-law distribution.
Visualising the network makes it much easier to see the links and patterns, and while it would be possible to garner this information from the raw data, it would take a considerable length of time.

Discussion in 'Pastries & Baking' started by slevenst, Nov 13, 2009.
This is my first post. In the past year, I've really gotten into baking...mostly just cookies and cupcakes, but the possibilities are endless! I'm about to give red velvet cupcakes a try for the first time. I've been scouring the internet for recipes, and I've found that some call for all-purpose flour, while others call for cake flour. What is the difference and which is preferred? Thank you.
All flour is milled wheat, but you knew that already. However, there are different wheats from different places harvested at different times and they can be (and are) milled differently.
the amount of protein increases as you go down the list. However, the amount of protein is not entirely consistent throughout the US -- Southern flours run a tad bit ("tad bit" is a Southern expression, y'all) "softer" (i.e., less protein) than those sold in the rest of the country.
Glutens act as the glue which holds things together. Both their amount and the way they're handled have quite a bit to do with the final structure of whatever it is you baked. Returning to Southern flours by way of illustration, the softness is the reason "southern biscuits" comes out so tender. Southern AP flour (and Bisquick too, for that matter) are the equivalent of Northern pastry flour.
If the question is (and it is), "Which flour to use when?" Then the answer is the annoying, "It depends." One thing it depends on is which flours you happen to have around. You can make an adequate cake with bread flour and vice versa. All of which goes to the great truth: Have your your senses of proportion and humor cleaned and well oiled when you enter the kitchen.
For biscuits: If you don't live in the south, mix cake with AP, 50/50.
For bread: If you live in Alabama, machine mix and knead, and are making an American style roll or white sandwich bread calling for a firm, even crumb, use bread flour -- and preferably a national brand at that; if you live in Chicago, hand mix and knead, and are making a European style, "artisinal" bread which wants an irregular and open structure, use AP.
Returning to the gist of your question: For making cake, everything else being equal, you'll get a softer, better crumb with cake flour than AP.
By the way, you can make faux cake flour, by substituting 2 tbs of corn corn starch for 2 tbs of AP per each cup of flour called for by the recipe. It's not ideal, but better than straight AP if you can't get to the store.

It would be interesting if anyone had the time --
Find quotes from both men, showing how their positions are different, dramatically so in some cases.
If there are indeed differences, it would be good in the interests of truth to know what they are.
Maybe there aren't many differences, and that is why such a document hasn't been created? Or maybe it's subtle, requiring a poetic awareness -- "big picture" perception/intuition -- to notice the difference?
You know, where a thousand little things add up to form a complete picture, but it's hard to explain how you got to the big picture? Poets are good at that, but not everyone.
Anyhow, unfortunately, I have no time for such a task.

A very interesting topic. It seems that Archbishop Lefebvre was much stronger in his thinking that the "conciliar church" was not Catholic, than the current leaders. It would be interesting to compare this statement with the views of the current SSPX leadership.
Archbishop Lefebvre, June 29, 1976:
"The Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.
"This Conciliar Church is schismatic, because it has taken as a basis for its updating, principles opposed to those of the Catholic Church, such as the new concept of the Mass expressed in numbers 5 of the Preface to (the decree) Missale Romanum and 7 of its first chapter, which gives the assembly a priestly role that it cannot exercise; such likewise as the natural — which is to say divine — right of every person and of every group of persons to religious freedom.
"This right to religious freedom is blasphemous, for it attributes to God purposes that destroy His Majesty, His Glory, His Kingship. This right implies freedom of conscience, freedom of thought, and all the Masonic freedoms.
"The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, bishops, priests or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church."

About Veda
Water Heros Project
Reviews & Book Purchase
"A wonderful blend of art and science. Some of the images are nothing short of amazing. Veda Austin has demonstrated how water responds to our thinking, in ways that I and others would have thought unimaginable. It now falls within the realm of science to see if we can explain what Austin has so beautifully demonstrated".
– Gerald H. Pollack, PhD, Professor, University of Washington; Editor-in-Chief, WATER.
"A remarkable investigation. Veda Austin has produced some interesting and impressive images which go way beyond what would be expected on the basis of conventional science. I hope that her pioneering work will stimulate others to follow up with systematic investigations of their own".
- Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, author of Science Set Free/The Science Delusion.
"In 2014, I discovered the photographic work of water in macro from Veda Austin.
What a surprise. I thought like everyone else that Masaru Emoto was number one. It goes beyond my dreams, how to interpret for it?
What can I say… Thank you Veda for this work. We feel very small compared to these extraordinary photos which glorify water and its memory. Veda opens a whole new dimension."
- Laurent Costa (Author of, 'Into the Heart of Water)
"Message or messenger, what holds our attention?
Within these pages we will find, the messenger and the message are one. Revealed patiently, vision by vision.
Is it the clarity, found within water?
Perhaps the purity, within the vision. Like water, it could be all of this and more.
Treat ourselves, anoint ourselves, blessed by a new understanding of the water.
The simple truth; like life, love, and water; we need to be understood, to be accepted. We seek our own level. The truth in the particle, the truth in the wave, truth in the drop, truth in the great ocean of life; in Water we are all one."
- Rev. M. Kalani Souza
"Veda Austin has produced an utter pearl of a book. The Secret Intelligence of water serves up a sumptuous feast for the mind, heart, and soul, along with a delicious helping of eye-candy. Her photographs are stunning, her research mind-boggling, and her co-creations with Water bring wave upon wave of love, lapping at our shore of hope.
Veda Austin's work is nothing short of revolutionary; a revolution of truth, communion, and love made visible."
- Elizabeth B. Jenkins, international bestselling author of 'The Return of the Inka', 'Journey to Q'eros', & The Fourth Level: Nature Wisdom Teachings of the Inka"
"The body of work that Veda Austin has produced is so profound that it has the potential to change the world very fast. When you have definitive visual proof that consciousness itself so deterministically effects water, then we become empowered with the recognition that our thoughts, feelings and intentions are stronger than we could have ever imagined.
If these human expressions have such a dramatic effect on water, imagine the effect they're having on our water-based bodies? This book will change the way people think about themselves by offering them the opportunity to interact with their own bodies, and our world, in a deeply compassionate way."
-Seth Leaf Pruzansky (Tourmaline Spring)
"I remember the feeling I had several years ago when I saw some of the first images that Veda had taken using her new technique of crystallography. The images struck me to the core. The first impression what that of communication… that the water was sentient and exhibiting the abilities of relationship. I felt a movement in the 3 places that I track in my body:
In my head I felt a sense of wonder that water could use 'language'.
In my gut I felt a knowing that this was real, not made up by me or anyone else's ego.
In my heart I felt a quickening and a sense of destiny. That something very important was taking place.
I feel fortunate to have seen more of these images as things have progressed in the ensuing time. Each time I have felt those same impressions in my body.
At present in the world we are watching microscopic things bring about great change in the larger reality. The Hermetic Principle of "As above, so below. As within, so without" becomes a pathway for understanding that not only do we create our own reality, but that we are that reality. For me, Veda's crystallographic images have been another way to connect to that understanding. Thank you for the journey!"
- Ron La Place (Spiritual Health Practitioner & Researcher)
"With the events that are occurring on Planet Earth today, it would seem to be divine timing that Veda Austin has presented this book for all those people that have had a glimpse of Consciousness, but had never quite made the step into belief.
Veda has taken the work of people like Dr. Masaru Emoto and many others, and extrapolated it way beyond what they could have ever imagined. From the early days of projecting simple images into water with nothing more than intention, Veda has progressed through more complex forms to now conversations with water. This seminal work clearly presents visual evidence of this journey.
I call this book "proof of Consciousness" and it clearly demonstrates the power of intention. If our bodies are over 70 percent water and the planet is also over 70 percent water, then we have to ask ourselves what effect our thoughts and intentions are having on our fellow human beings, as well as upon the planet that we live on.
Now is the time that we need to become conscious of the fact that humans have such a powerful effect on each other and we have the opportunity to co-create a planet based on harmony and Love.
This book by Veda is a catalyst for that change."
- John Thode (Spiritual Teacher)
"A very rare blend of science on a quantum level, the mystery of consciousness and the often dismissed notion of magic – this book reveals water as an artist with its own infinite collection of expressions. I couldn't predict any of the surprising imagery reflected with every turn of the page. At the same time as making no sense to the right side of my brain, it made a poetic kind of sense to my left half.
I like to imagine the first human encounter with ourselves as a conscious being, was through our reflection in water. It fills me with the fantastical possibility that perhaps the way a cat reacts to its face in a puddle, is met by that puddle reacting to the cats face."
- Josh McKenzie (Actor & Musician)
"The book is very, very interesting. It gives an extraordinary message, and in my eyes is an important leap forward from Emoto's images and explanations. Even at first glance, the book gives an amazing new vision into the intelligence of nature.
It is a live record of thrilling communication possibilities with the side of reality that our blind civilization treats as absolutely inert, non-living, and bereft of any traces of intelligence. The book supports the resurrection of the Renaissance hylozoistic outlook on nature, according to which everything is alive and interconnected with invisible threads. The post-renaissance mechanistic thought, starting with Galileo Galilei, banished hylozoism from the scientific picture of the world.
Therefore, even if 'The Secret Intelligence of Water' is not scientific in the conventional meaning of the word, it nevertheless brings new knowledge, new light, new insights, and may greatly help in raising the consciousness of present-day humanity towards a new Renaissance and a new sense of responsibility towards nature."
- Prof. Igor Jerman, PhD in Biology
If you like water, magic and mysticism, then I would say The Secret Intelligence of Water is definitely a book for you. In this dramatic combination of photography and new science, Veda Austin, a modern day water-diviner, has recorded images of the shapes of water that cast new light into the mysteries of nature, and our interconnectedness.
- Professor/Dr Sharad P Paul
"Years ago I came across a proposition by Rudolf Steiner who suggested to his students to observe the crystals that form on the window of a butchers shop versus a floral shop. I have spent many years pursuing this and related indications from this spiritual scientist.
Veda navigates the middle way between Scylla and Charybdis, Science and Spirituality - the middle path is Art.
This is a book of artistic exploration informed by both methodology and meaning. Veda has spent the better part of a decade watching these forms arise...something Rudolf Steiner called the 'yoga of the senses', where the phenomena is taken in and insight is breathed out. This is the essence of Goethean science.
The droplet of water is the perfect expression of the polar forces of evaporation and gravity. In the interval of these two lies the mysterious play of flow and freeze.
At a time where the world looks like it's losing its way, the artist comes to offer an invitation to wholeness."
- Michael Frantz (Goethean and Anthroposophic Sciences)
"Pictures say more than a thousand words. The work described in this wonderful book is magnificent... It has the power to transform the universe.
If we truly and deeply connect with what Veda is actually showing us in her co-creations with water, I believe we will change the way we relate to ourselves and everything on earth, it will change what we put out as well as let in.
It provides evidence that water is indeed the intelligent life that connects us all, every thought, form, intention, element, environment, action influences water across time and space, it's structure holds the information.
This is really true, pure, sincere, open scientific exploration. Veda has shown that her CMP method can be used to investigate numerous questions. So much to explore!
I have deep respect for this sacred work, no doubt water is the backbone of all. I'm grateful that Veda's unconditional love has enabled water to show more of itself. Together they have paved a path for us to move further on."
- Everine van de Kraats, PhD
"The Secret Intelligence of Water offers the enthusiast an eyepiece into the intrinsic beauty of natures elements, and the physical forces that govern them. Veda explores intuitive methods and captures super natural outcomes, inspiring both the sciences and the arts alike.
One must be left to consider the connecting link between mind and matter, and the thread between the experimenter and the experiment. A threaded boundary condition where opposing forces create a dynamic balance for measure of time, space, dimension, wonder and reflection. An intuitive approach towards water research is paramount in pushing and breaking boundaries towards the next mode of understanding and being. A beautiful work rendered by a talented and intuitive being.
Bravo and thank you Veda!"
- Jeremy Pfeiffer (Tech Entrepreneur & Independent Scientific Researcher, SVP Water Research, Laguna Beach, California)
"What Veda has unveiled so beautifully evokes the almost unknown, indescribable wisdom and magnificence of a precious life-force humanity could not survive without.
This remarkable discovery proclaims the most ancient of all languages since time immemorial; the unified gift that we are all of the same expressive consciousness. Her extraordinary connection with this most sacred element must be given the highest respect".
- JHB Edmonds (Spiritual Teacher/Author/Wilderness Adventurer)
"This book is a culmination of Veda's passion and commitment to share her findings in a way that is clearly presented and easy to view.
The resulting images are stunning and are a vivid reflection of exposure to thoughts, music, images, prayer and, words. To me it really is proof that water is a living entity with a consciousness that expands our understanding of the nature of all Life.
I was particularly surprised and delighted with her findings on how water was able to respond visually to her questions. This really demonstrates that we can communicate with the consciousness and intelligence of water. Veda's experiments with thoughts projected from the other side of the world demonstrate how the whole of Life is intimately connected through water.
I love the quote in the book that "Water is the glove on the hand of consciousness" Moses Hackman
This perfectly sums up the beauty contained within this sacred work."
- Waveney Thode - (Spiritual Teacher)

The practice was commissioned via an international competition to redesign an entire city block on the site of Australia's First Government House in the heart of the financial and legal precinct of Sydney's CBD. The resulting design includes Governor Phillip Tower and Governor Macquarie Tower, the new Museum of Sydney, the restoration of two rows of terrace houses and two public plazas. The development also contains the archaeologically significant site of Australia's first Government House and new public art commemorating the history of the site.
Governor Phillip Tower is the tallest tower at 64 levels and provides 56,000m2 of premium office accommodation. It is elevated on a podium above the site. The office tower has a polished grey granite shaft and a cap of slender stainless steel fins puncturing the skyline, that appears to draw the mass of the building upwards, visually separating the tower from the reading of the 19th century street. The sandstone podium reflects the street level context of heritage properties.

I'd be much more interested in seeing what the values look like in a year's time, when the new cycle is starting to get into it's stride. Immediate observations can only confirm that the effect exists - isn't the question now how far it is going to continue along the line extrapolated out to 2015, and maybe to develop some theories around causality. Changes from month to month are not far off the noise on the measurement so far as I can tell.

Nobody expected 3000 G. We expected 2000 G, and got 2011 G. Sunspots are getting warmer and have less concentrated magnetic flux. This impairs their visibility to the point that if the Sun keeps this up, spots will be invisible by 2018, just as they were during the Maunder [and Spoerer] Minimum. The spots would still be there, the dynamo will still operate and cosmic rays would still be modulated, as observed. Solar activity would therefore not come to a still stand, but the magnetic flux in spots would just be less concentrated. The F10.7 radio flux would be less affected and would not show a 'Grand Minimum' signature.

Nobody expected 3000 G. We expected 2000 G, and got 2011 G. Sunspots are getting warmer and have less concentrated magnetic flux. The spots would still be there, the dynamo will still operate and cosmic rays would still be modulated, as observed.This impairs their visibility to the point that if the Sun keeps this up, spots will be invisible by 2018, just as they were during the Maunder [and Spoerer] Minimum. Solar activity would therefore not come to a still stand, but the magnetic flux in spots would just be less concentrated. The F10.7 radio flux would be less affected and would not show a 'Grand Minimum' signature.
Thanks for the simplified synopsis of the current solar cycle condition, Leif.
This impairs their visibility to the point that if the Sun keeps this up, spots will be invisible by 2018, just as they were during the Maunder [and Spoerer] Minimum.
Is this a new prediction, based on the newer asssessments?

I remember a post by you (Dr.S) in the last week predicting a Guass reading over 3000, intimating some reference from L&P.
I can smell a rat.
I don't recall his stating that, could you produce the post?
Gee whiz Geoff, Dr. S. puts his socks on one foot at a time.

Nobrainer's trick is a time-honored tactic: 'smelling rats', 'not good enough', etc, to throw FUD on something not to his liking.

Kudos to Leif!
