Unable to attend a Farbrengen service in person? We are offering Live Stream programming for our Farbrengen Services. Click here for more info.


One of the most important things we can do as human beings is to engage in work that has a positive impact on the lives of others. The Call and Response Foundation is dedicated to serving others by awakening the heart through the healing power of mantra music.
The work we do creates opportunities for transformation.
We need your help to continue doing this work. Whether it's incarcerated individuals or children with special needs, Call and Response Outreach events touch people in meaningful ways. We all long to connect to something that is greater than our ourselves.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment — one encounter to change everything. We are dedicated to providing as many of those moments as possible by creating outreach events around the country and promoting the healing power of mantra music.
Why do these populations need your support?
The Call and Response Foundation affirms the sacred worth of every human being without exceptions.
A growing body of medical research suggests that kirtan positively influences the mind-body relationship. Some combat veterans are now relying on kirtan to help them with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and re-entry into civilian life. In prison, as in the military, trauma and stress are a part of everyday life, often compounding already existing problems. Kirtan music reduces anxiety and depression and helps to counteract the effects of trauma. It heals wounds and re-awakens lost hope, reminding everyone of what is true and whole in them. That's the kind of work that serves us all.
You can make a difference in the lives of inmates, the recovery population, Veterans and students.

Final Fantasy XV Reversible Box Art Revealed
By Adam Beck on July 13, 2016
Don't like the boy-band box art Square Enix has put together for the North American and European releases of Final Fantasy XV? Well good news: there will be a much better, reversible cover. Square Enix's official Final Fantasy XV Twitter account revealed today that the sleeve in the retail box will have a reversible side that can be swapped out for fans looking for a more traditional cover.
The #FFXV cover features a reversible sleeve so you can choose your cover!
(reversible cover will be black in NA/EU) pic.twitter.com/XrcgVNE2mq
— Final Fantasy XV (@FFXVEN) July 13, 2016
It's far superior to the one that will be displayed on store shelves, with even the "Day One Edition" being removed, but even then, we wish Square Enix's art team had better ideas for the long awaited RPG.
Final Fantasy XV will be available September 30 for PS4 and Xbox One.

Paul Andersen explains how diffraction can be affected by the size of the wavelength. When waves pass through an opening or move around an obstacle a shadow region is created. The size of the shadow zone will decrease as the wavelength matches the size of the obstacle or opening.

Religious Freedom And Other Crimes Against Humanity
By Timothy Sandefur
December 23, 2005 00:31 MST
Some kind of trophy for the most absurd reaction to the Kitzmiller decision must go to Richard Land, of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics And Religious Liberty Commission. In this article in the Washington Post, Land is quoted as saying:
"This decision is a poster child for a half-century secularist reign of terror that's coming to a rapid end with Justice Roberts and soon-to-be Justice Alito," said Richard Land, who is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and is a political ally of White House adviser Karl Rove. "This was an extremely injudicious judge who went way, way beyond his boundaries–if he had any eyes on advancing up the judicial ladder, he just sawed off the bottom rung."
I'm not sure what being "a political ally of White House advisor Karl Rove" means (doesn't that refer to all registered Republicans?) but Land's comments are absolutely indefensible, and, if they come from a man of significant official power, are wildly_irresponsible. Remember what the _Kitzmiller decision holds: it holds that the government is not allowed to put its seal of approval on a religion. If people want to propagate a religious view, they are free to do so on their own time and with their own money: but they may not use my_money, or use the government's _coercive power to do it. This principle, of course, is the very bedrock of religious liberty itself–the liberty which Mr. Land's Commission uses as its title. The concept of religious liberty is fundamentally based on the idea that government should not go around teaching people that a particular religious belief is true. One of the great founders of religious liberty, John Milton, explained that the state should
leave the church to its own government, and relieve [it]self and the other public functionaries from a charge so onerous, and so incompatible with [its] functions; and…no longer suffer two powers, so different as the civil and the ecclesiastical, to commit fornication together, and by their mutual and delusive aids in appearance to strengthen, but in reality to weaken and finally to subvert, each other…; [it should] remove all power of persecution out of the church, (but persecution will never cease, so long as men are bribed to preach the gospel by a mercenary salary, which is forcibly extorted rather than gratuitously bestowed, which serves only to poison religion, and to strangle truth)….
Was Milton part of the great atheist conspiracy to against religion? But Kitzmiller says nothing more than Milton does: that the state must not use forcibly extorted taxes, or the state's official authority to preach the gospel. And this is the principle that Mr. Land describes as a "secularist reign of terror." That's what he said: America inflicts a "reign of terror" on religious people.
Today, under this "reign of terror," Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and believers in other faiths are freer to practice their faiths than they have been in any nation, or in any era in human history. Religious citizens are free to pray, preach, proselytize, and publish, anywhere they wish onany subject they wish, without government interference. _Nobody_is threatening these liberties. _Nobody_in the American government is confiscating bibles, censoring religious publications, or illegalizing marriages (well, I guess there's _one_group that's out there illegalizing marriages…), the way common law England persecuted Catholics. _Nobody_is putting people on trial for their religious beliefs, arresting and torturing dissenters, proscribing religious enemies, the way Catholic nations once persecuted Protestants. _No_American official is arresting preachers and nationalizing church property the way Communist governments have done to religious groups throughout the twentieth century…. For Mr. Land to use the phrase "reign of terror" for a people and a time that enjoy greater religious liberty than any other people and time have ever had, is not only an utterly irrational exaggeration, but also a profound insult to those of Mr. Land's predecessors who experienced and still experience _genuine_persecution.
And what is this about Alito and Roberts? I strongly suspect that Mr. Land knows no more than I do about Chief Justice Roberts' or Judge Alito's views about evolution or Intelligent Design or their constitutional status. One hopes, at the very least, that these two distinguished judges will consider their public utterances more seriously, and will reserve words like "reign of terror" for appropriate instances. And one is tempted to say that a better example of persecution is provided by those who issue veiled threats against the future careers of judges whose decisions they disagree with! Land gives a good reason for fearing, as C.E. Petit said a few days ago, that Judge Jones, by doing his job wewll, has blown any chance he may have had of getting to the Supreme Court.

For the past five years now we've visited this beach with Tom's mum during the summer. I always grew up not visiting the same place twice as my parents never saw the point of repeating trips but I'm starting to see the benefit of doing so with places like this. There's a definite nostalgia about comparing pictures year on year. Tom's mum even had some video footage of Tom there as a child the same age as Wilf is now!
We spent the weekend with 'granny' which was so lovely for the kids who totally adore her. Mabli was especially taken with her having not spend a huge amount of time together yet as a toddler. She was passed down some of her aunties clothes from the seventies which I'm thrilled about. One of them being this amazing coat, it suits her so much and she LOVES it. I even had a battle trying to convince her to not wear it today when it was boiling outside and we were all in T Shirts.
I mean come on, how cute?!
I've been trying to get into video more (I'm actually vlogging every single day this month) so I made a little video of our time on the beach. Funny enough I actually did one last year too so it was nice to watch back and include the footage in this one. I think I'll try and do one every year!
This boy of mine, so effortlessly cool!
If you want to watch the video of this day I'll just pop it below!

Emotional Intelligence is an awareness of the emotional state of oneself and others, together with the ability to influence feelings towards the positive. It is an art of empathy and leadership. It measures one's ability to understand how his/her actions influence others 'responses, emotionally. In order to achieve the goals effectively, one should be able to impart positive emotions besides having technical knowledge. Emotional intelligence skills help people to gain cooperation.
Managers should know that caring for peoples' feelings is important in order to make them productive and increase their work output. A good manager is always sensitive to peoples' feelings and works on building positive emotions in the team.
The workshop uses Emotional Intelligence Theory in combination with tools and methods of inspiring a positive atmosphere.

Q: Phonegap 3.3.0 with Camera Plugin Permission Error I created a project with cordova command line and add camera plugin.
And add some settings (http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.3.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#Camera)
I compiled and executed a example on that page with my galaxy s4 and it doesn't work.
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: get/set setting for user asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL

So i tried another example on github (https://github.com/heavysixer/phonegap-camera-sample).
It is worked with no errors.
What is the problem with above example?

A: I had the exact same error.
Seems the problem is with the Android Manifest file.
You need to include the following to make your camera app work
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

A: for android:
Terminal commands:
$ phonegap local plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera
$ phonegap local plugin add org.apache.cordova.media
$ phonegap local plugin add org.apache.cordova.media-capture

(in app/res/xml/config.xml)
    <feature name="Camera">
        <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.camera.CameraLauncher" />
    </feature>

    (in app/AndroidManifest)
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

The skin is some successive layers of tissue. Vertebrates maintain their body through the skin which is an effective barrier.
For humans, the skin is an important part of the body. Indeed, it extends over 2m² and weighs about 5 kg.
Skin rashes, eczema, angioma, psoriasis among the most common skin conditions. To treat these conditions, the assigned medical professional is the dermatologist.
The skin cancers including melanoma are more serious pathologies.

Crewe elderly demand same treatment from Cheshire East as Macclesfield pensioners receive
CREWE pensioners have been refused permission by Cheshire East to use their bus passes on a community-based transport service – but the same council allows the elderly to use their passes in Macclesfield.
Until April 1 this year Dial-A-Ride in Crewe, Nantwich and Congleton used to operate under the concessionary travel scheme which allows elderly people to use their bus passes to travel free after 9.30am.
Membership of the scheme was at the discretion of the council.
Cheshire East has now reviewed the decision and removed Dial-A-Ride from the concessionary travel scheme.
But it still allows pensioners to use their passes on the Macclesfield Area Flexible Transport Service – which like Dial-A-Ride can be booked – because that service operates under different licensing regulations.
Hugh Emerson, secretary of the Crewe and Nantwich branch of the Northern Pensioners' Association, said: "It doesn't matter what the excuse, the fact is the people of Crewe can't use their passes and the people of Macclesfield can."
Cheshire East says it has withdrawn the use of concessionary bus passes as part of its 'cost saving programme'.
Last week the same council set aside £80,000 because it may need to employ an interim chief executive for three months to cover sick leave.
Dial-A-Ride passenger Geoffrey Ward, who has been hard hit because he can't use his bus pass, said: "They're using a loophole.
"I think it's very petty.
"Elderly people need the service in this area."
Cheshire East bosses say if Dial-A-Ride operated under the same system as the Macclesfield Area Flexible Transport Service the council would have to fund its bus pass system too by law.
But the switch would prove costly for Dial-A-Ride, which is run by the charity East Cheshire Community Transport.
Dial-A-Ride joint co-ordinator Graham Wood said: "We're trying to resolve the situation as best we can.
"We could go to a full-blown operators' licence but it would cost us a lot of money. You have to have a certain amount of financial standing and as a charity we don't have it all the time.
"Also we would have to make 16 of our 19 drivers redundant because they don't have PSV licences.
"I would not like to have to make 16 people redundant."

Tigers roll over Bulldogs
SEWARD, Neb. – Tuesday's rivalry renewal versus Doane, featuring two of the top goal scorers in the GPAC, went the way of the Tigers in a decisive manner. Even with prolific junior forward Courtney Richards (tied for second in the GPAC with 12 goals entering Tuesday) out with an injury, Doane peppered the back of the net on the way to a 5-0 victory at Bulldog Stadium.
Freshman sensation Sara Cushing, tied with Richards for second in the GPAC in goals prior to Tuesday, leaped in front of Concordia's Rachel Mussell for the GPAC goals lead with a hat trick on Tuesday. Cushing knocked in goals in the 30th, 76th and 85th minutes, the last capping the Tigers' five-goal outburst.
Senior Ally Tamerius also helped picked up the slack for the injured Richards with a goal each in the 24th and 62nd minutes. Tamerius, who came in ranked fifth on the Tigers (10-5, 6-3 GPAC) with three goals on the season, was an unlikely star in a game filled with top-flight strikers.
"Their second goal was the one where the wheels fell off the wagon a bit," Bulldog head coach Lisa White said. "It looked like we thought it was offsides so we stopped. We were standing around like what happened. You could just see that we weren't connecting well with each other tonight."
Concordia junior forward Jordan Donohoue had one of the few prime scoring chances for the Bulldogs with a shot on frame midway through the first half. However, her strike that scooted across the ground was saved by goalkeeper Kelsey Stark who dropped to her right to make the stop.
For the game Concordia (6-7-1, 4-4-1 GPAC) mustered just five shots, with only two on goal. Doane fired 11 total shots and made the most of its five attempts on goal. Cushing was the epitome of efficiency as she scored on all three of her attempts. Cushing has been a big reason why Doane began play leading the GPAC with 2.93 goals per game.
Meanwhile, Mussell, who started the day leading the league with 13 goals, was held to only two shots, neither on goal as the offensive attacked sputtered.
White believes her team will rebound quickly for the stretch run with her team currently sitting in seventh place in the GPAC. The team she saw Tuesday was not the same squad she expects to see the rest of the season.
"We need to move on," White said. "We know this is not who we are. I'm really excited about how Marcie (Sindt) played tonight. She had a fantastic role back there, stepping into the midfield and really helping us try to keep possession. Her fight was awesome tonight.
"You take the good things and forget the bad things and move on. It's too quick of a season to dwell on it."
Tuesday's blanking marked only the second time this season Concordia has been shutout.
The Bulldogs will play their final regular-season game of the season on Saturday when Northwestern (7-6-2, 4-3-1 GPAC) visits Seward for Senior Day. With a muddled middle of the GPAC standings, Concordia is still uncertain about where it will be headed for the GPAC Championships, which begin Oct. 30.

   for(EndpointDescription e: endpoints) {

        logger.info(e.toString());
    }

Formatter Class
public class MyFormatter extends Formatter {

    // Create a DateFormat to format the logger timestamp.
    private static final DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS");

    @Override
    public String format(LogRecord record) {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(1000);
        builder.append(df.format(new Date(record.getMillis()))).append(" - ");
        builder.append("[").append(record.getSourceClassName()).append(".");
        builder.append(record.getSourceMethodName()).append("] - ");
        builder.append("[").append(record.getLevel()).append("] - ");
        builder.append(formatMessage(record));
        builder.append(System.getProperty("line.separator", "\r\n"));
        //builder.append("\n");
        return builder.toString();
    }

}

The output is just on a line. I've found out online some solution, but  nothing it's working for me.

A: One quick nit, the SimpleDateFormat is not thread-safe so you don't what to store it as a object or static reference.  Create a new instance each call or use the java.time.format package.  Fix this so it is not causing any phantom issues.

This solution is working, but the information from the log doesn't show with the carriage return.

Open the file with a text editor that can show whitespace characters.  Your formatter code looks correct. You need to double check that the viewer you are using may be just rendering the text incorrectly (Notepad).  Worst case use a FileInputStream and read raw bytes as hex.  Should be able to see the hex values for the line separator.  Your unit test of just the formatter itself should be able to verify that the line separator is present.
The other issue is that you have to prove that your formatter is being used.  You are opening the file for append so it would be possible for other formatters to insert their data in the same file.  Consider overriding getHead and getTail to generate a unique id and place that in your formatter for testing.  This will show the start and stop of your formatter.
Also the java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter can support this format but it is a global setting and can't be customized for each object.

I took my hand off the back hatch, pulled my camera bag to the edge, opened it, took out my Nikon D300, took the lens cap off and was now once again ready to shoot. You may note one lingering laziness, I did not use my tripod. I handheld the above shot, but at 1/60th a second that is not hard to do if using proper DSLR holding technique.
After taking about a dozen shots of various composition, I felt satisfied that I had both not been lazy and got the shot I wanted. The portrait session was for my client and my business, the last sunset silhouette shots were just for me. Even if you have already put your camera back in your bag, do not hesitate to take it back out and get a shot if you see one. That's what a real photographer does.

2023 BMW i7 Super Luxurious Electric Sedan – Performance, Specs & Pricing
BMW's sworn rival Mercedes-Benz follows anywhere it goes, and vice versa. It comes as no surprise that BMW is releasing the BMW i7, an all-electric version of its flagship luxury car, now that Mercedes has shown the EQS, an electric version of the S-class. The next-generation 7-series and the electric Bimmer were both developed in tandem, and both vehicles provide the exact same level of luxury.
The BMW i7 is equipped with a battery pack big enough to contend with the EQS as well as other high-end electric cars like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. It is propelled by two electric motors. The 2023 BMW i7 nevertheless takes some risks in terms of styling, especially with its front-end design, which has unusually big grille intakes and split-element headlights.
Electric Motor and Performance of the BMW i7
Twin electric motors—one powering each axle—producing a total of 536 horsepower are used in the i7's electric drivetrain, which is similar to that of the company's new EV SUV, the BMW iX. For such a huge vehicle, acceleration is quick and all-wheel drive is standard.
The BMW i7 xDrive60 will reach 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, according to our estimation. Although the i7's handling is surprisingly nimble for a big sedan, consumers seeking sports-sedan handling won't be drawn to it. When they took it for a first test drive, designers noticed that it had a very smooth ride and a quiet cabin, which will appeal to those looking for a comfortable and opulent experience.
Charging, range, and battery of the BMW i7
Although the EPA hasn't yet provided an official assessment, BMW claims that the i7 should have a driving range of about 300 miles per charge. The car's enormous 101.7-kWh battery pack can be connected to DC fast charging stations, and it is claimed that doing so can increase the vehicle's driving range by 80 miles in just 10 minutes. Speaking of charging, every new i7 from BMW comes with three years of cost-free 30-minute sessions at Electrify America charging stations.
Interior and Comfort of the BMW i7
Since they were collaboratively developed, the i7 enjoys the same roomy, opulent, and upmarket interior as the internal combustion engine 7-series. The i7 boasts a plethora of high-tech convenience features in addition to luxury, giving it a competitive edge over rivals like the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Tesla Model S.
Both the front and rear seats provide plenty of space, and the entire inside is lined with high-quality materials. Your rear-seat guests will enjoy power-adjustable reclining chairs, a wireless smartphone charging station, and extra-plush headrests if you choose the Executive Lounge option. Although there is plenty of trunk capacity, there is a useful rear-seat pass-through feature if you need to transport longer things.
Infotainment and Connectivity in the BMW i7
The BMW i7 adopts the iX SUV's digital dashboard, which features substantial floating digital gauges and multimedia panels. The two displays, which are placed together under a single glass pane provide a clear view of the entertainment elements and driving statistics.
Additionally, a rear-seat entertainment system with a huge 31.3-inch screen that descends from the ceiling is an option. This system uses the car's 5G cellular connection to access streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.
Safety and Driver assistance in the BMW i7
There are many driver-assistance systems that come standard, and more sophisticated technology is an option. A hands-free driving mode for usage on the highway and a parking aid system that enables the driver to exit the car and park it using a smartphone app are features that are available.
Price of the BMW i7
The all-new BMW i7 starts at $120,000

Species composition and phytosociology of xerophytic plant communities after extreme rainfall in South Peru
Daniel B. Montesinos-Tubée, Karle V. Sỳkora, Victor Quipuscoa Silvestre, Antoine M. Cleef
We present a phytosociological overview of the arid and semi-arid montane vegetation of the province of Arequipa in southern Peru. The xerophytic vegetation was studied after extreme rainfall had promoted exceptionally lush vegetation and a high aboveground floristic diversity. We used TWINSPAN for classification and Detrended Correspondence Analysis for gradient analysis of our relevés. PC-ORD was used to show the hierarchical similarity structure of the syntaxa, and to compare them with related communities in Peru and surrounding countries from literature. We present a synoptic table, and describe the physiognomy, floristic composition, ecology and spatial distribution of the plant communities. In total, we recorded 187 plant species, including 50 endemics, in 196 phytosociological relevés distributed over 2030 km2 at an elevation between 2020 and 3260 m a.s.l. The relevés were assigned to three alliances in the class Opuntietea sphaericae. The vegetation consists mainly of native species of trees, shrubs, grasses, succulents, annual herbs, and ferns. The most diverse families were Asteraceae, Cactaceae, Solanaceae, Malvaceae, Boraginaceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae, Amaranthaceae and Pteridaceae. Within the class Opuntietea sphaericae, three alliances have been distinguished of which two are new. The Ambrosio artemisioidis-Weberbauerocerion weberbaueri comprising six associations was recorded on barren hillsides between 2000 and 2900 m a.s.l. in the Arequipa city boundary zones. The Corryocaction brevistyli defines xerophytic scrub between 2700 and 3200 m a.s.l. in semi-dry regions bordering the puna grasslands. It contains the Balbisio weberbaueri-Ambrosietum artemisioidis and the Aloysio spathulatae-Corryocactetum brevistyli, all in need of further investigation as they lack diagnostic species. A unit clearly distinguished by Weberbauerocereus rauhii and Neoraimondia arequipensis is here described as a new alliance, Neoraimondio arequipensis-Weberbauerocerion rauhii. It grows in inter-Andean valleys in dry regions (1100- 2200 m a.s.l.), with abundant cacti accompanied by few xerophytes.

Write a brief Thank You note to your future in-laws thanking them for hosting the holiday meal. The meal you caused to somehow be ruined.
Thank you so much for inviting us out to dinner. It was nice to spend some time with you. It was also very nice to meet Bob's parents.
Please extend my apologies once again to Bob's mother. Believe me, I meant no harm. When I said "What are you, blind?" to Ron because he couldn't see the score on the big screen, it was all in good fun. It was in no way a reference to Bob's blind mother, who I can only hope has less than perfect hearing also. I'm assuming that is not the case based on the deadening silence that followed my comment.
And of course, I will pay for Beth's dry cleaning. After all, Ron only spit his wine all over her shirt as a gut reaction to the stupidity of my comment. If you think about it, it's really kind of funny. One of those cartoonish moments.
I understand if you are not yet ready to laugh about this. One day, you might. And I hope that I will still be in your good graces enough to enjoy that laugh with you.
Method of Selection: First, I have to say that though this post (and the holiday timing) didn't generate many responses, all four were very high quality! And I'm fantastic at sticking my foot in my mouth by saying something that seemed innocent and still managing to offend so congrats to Taylorvillegirl!
I am so glad that you graciously extended to me the honor of calling you mom and dad even after what I did today. I want to first of all say thank you for inviting me over to Thanksgiving and I look forward to celebrating many more with you in the future after me and Scott get married. However, I'm hoping that future Thanksgivings won't include visits to the ER and the fire department being called because I actually turned the oven on to broil instead of off when you asked me to turn it off so the turkey could just sit there for a little bit while you got the rest of the food on the table. I didn't realize a turkey could explode like that in the oven. Thank you for being so kind and not yelling at me as the oven burst into flames and you sustained 2-degree burns over your upper extremities. I'm sure the scars will fade before the wedding next summer. Again, thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Thank you for graciously inviting us into your home for Thanksgiving. And thank you for allowing us to bring Fluffy. Yes, you would think that Fluffy is the name of a small dog, so I understand your confusion when we showed up with a mastiff. And you had no reason to think that the pumpkin pie wouldn't be safe on that kitchen counter. Or the remainder of the turkey. Or the punch bowl.
I do appreciate your concern, by the way. Fluffy is fine--according to the vet the alcohol didn't have much time to get into his system since he threw most of it up in the living room. Again, sorry about the antique rug, I hear you can get some really nice fakes at World Market, at least until you're able to return to India.
And please, let us pay for the repairs to your doorway--Fluffy isn't used to a screen door and was in such a hurry to get outside. Um, and we'll definitely buy you a new rug for the foyer too.
Much love, and we look forward to seeing you at Christmas. Oh wait, Jim just let me know he spoke to you over the phone. Yes, we're perfectly fine with only seeing you in public places from now on. And no, Fluffy won't be at the wedding.
Gave you all food poisoning.

Protection of the Ocean	Favorite
Wan Yunfeng
Two pairs of dusty, pastel-orange roller skates. A ram's skull. Several meters of tangled, bright red rope. They aren't the sort of items you'd find in the great fashion houses of Europe or on North American catwalks.
But, for unconventional Chinese designer and performance artist Wan Yunfeng, they are perfect.
From his small apartment in eastern Beijing, Wan makes fashion that only he wears.
His distinctive gowns are crafted from discarded items, draped and twisted around his body and photographed to send a message about the destructive power of human consumption.
"I make clothes to bring awareness to the environment, it is performance art. So of course you can't wear these clothes in daily life, it is to deliver a message of environmental protection," he said.
The criticism has affected Wan in the past.
At one point, he postponed his work and threw out many of his earlier creations. But now he has decided it is important for him to carry on. "If even just one person is influenced by me, I should do it," he said.
"Criticism is OK, exaggeration is OK too. I just have to protect our environment. I just believe that everyone should work to protect our environment, don't you think?"

How does this project help?
Activates (people)Energizes and organizes people into action. Can include emotion work
Amplifies (issue or campaign)Brings public and political attention to an issue or campaign. Can include prefigurative action, making the invisible visible.
Timeframe For change
This project seems to be part of a campaign with a clear long-term goal. Long-term goals tend to be things like: end racism; end homophobia; make the sun stand still in the sky. A campaign with a long-term goal also needs to have some kind of theory of change.
The project is for a very long-term goal ---- protect the environment. In fact, it is one of the most universal topics in the world, and humans are trying to improve the environment, though it is hard.
This art is very impressive if one has seen. It is easy to understand for people and the theme is universal, yet few people know it. But now more and more people start to concern about the environment and try to do sth., and this art work could arise more people's awareness.

Charitable Giving in Barrington, New Hampshire
Find the right Charitable Giving attorney in Barrington, NH
In Barrington, New Hampshire, charitable giving is when a person donates something to an organization or individual, without consideration (getting something directly in return). This is for the purpose of advancing some type of cause, helping people in need, or any other altruistic motive.
The easiest way to make a charitable gift is to just give the money or property directly to the organization you want to help.
What if, on the other hand, a donor wishes to give everything they own (or a considerable chunk of everything they own) to a charity? This is extremely generous, of course, but it's rarely possible during life, considering the expenses and obligations we all have. On the other hand, most people don't think they'll be needing their money after they die. Knowing this, many arrangements have been created permitting a person to have as much of their money as they want transferred to a charity of their choice after their death.
There are many ways you can donate some or all of your property or money to a charity after your death, if you wish to do so. Direct testamentary gifts are the most common and the most simple way to accomplish this. A testamentary gift simply entails transferring the money or property directly to the charity, through a provision in your will.
Charitable Trusts in Barrington, New Hampshire
A charitable trust is an arrangement by which a large amount of money can be given to a charity after the death of the donor, or during the donor's life.
While the money, for a time at least, is still technically owned by the donor, it is possessed and controlled by the charity, which acts as a trustee. The trustee is then able to use the money for the charitable purposes which have been laid out in the agreement that first appointed the trust.
The most frequent kind of charitable trust in Barrington, New Hampshire is a charitable remainder trust. This authorizes you to give as much money or property as you want to a charity. The money is then invested by the charity. The investments are normally fairly conservative, sacrificing large returns for security. The charity then returns a portion of these returns to the donor, or another person named by the donor, while keeping the rest. This lasts for a set period of time, at the end of which the charity gets full ownership of the original fund.
Wanting to help a charitable cause is, of course, a good thing. However, some people seek to take advantage of our good intentions through fraudulent charities. If you want to help ensure that any money you donate to an organization is really used for a charitable cause, and that your donation will be tax-deductible, you should check to see that the organization is really tax-exempt. You can find this information from the IRS and/or the agency responsible for taxation in
