The Path to Understanding – Republicans and Free Trade
J.W. Bryan February 27, 2015
Given the fact that nothing good has come out of the Obama Administration for the past six years, why would the Republican leadership flock to this so-called "Free Trade" agenda at this time? Additionally, why would the Republican Congressional rank and file line up in support of the leadership?
Does anyone believe that Obama, who has done everything in pursuit of "Fundamentally Transforming America" since he was elected, that he is now going to turn around and proceed in the opposite direction? These so-called "free trade" partnerships are calculated to fall right in line with his agenda for bringing the transformation. How naive and stupid can one be to believe otherwise?
I was a 9th grade drop-out and didn't get my GED until I was in my middle fifties, but I think I had enough common sense to reject that naiveté by the time I started school. My wife says she came here knowing more than that. It appears that too many of these sacks we send to Washington aren't capable of putting two and two together and coming up with the right answer.
Let's consider this, that the Congress critters aren't really that stupid, but only playing this role, and figuring we will believe their stupidity. This is the reason they are doing what they're doing, and that way we won't see why they are really doing it. Think about it. It is quite clear that the Republican Party has become saturated with Neo-Con Trotkyites, now let's talk about that.
What is a Neo-Con Trotskyite?
Well, they aren't just moderates, or RINOS; they are much more than that. They fill the spot in the dialectical scheme used by all collectivists to bring about change which coincides with the agenda to result in the New World Order, i.e., World Government.
Forty or fifty years ago or more, those who have become leaders in today's Republican party drifted away from Trotskyism and began to identify themselves as democratic socialists. Still later, under the guise of neo-cons Irving Kristol and William F. Buckley, who emasculated true old right conservatism, they slithered into the Republican party as "moderates." They stole the name of "conservative" and seized intellectual control of the true conservatives, as well as the entire Republican party.
Leon Trotsky must not be ignored. Trotsky, unlike Stalin and Lenin, favored the slow and patient imposition of Marxist socialism without murders and gulags, although he killed millions of Russians. Trotsky wished for the people to "choose" Marxism, rather than having it forced upon them. Irving Kristol, father of Bill Kristol, stated, "I regard myself as lucky to have been a young Trotskyite and I have not a single bitter memory."
The current followers of Trotskyite socialism and internationalism are the neo-conservatives. Most have no objection to steering America away from personal freedom and national independence and literally undermining and eroding the people's freedom. There are several books which expose the reality of the Republican neo-con Trotskyites. Undeniably the best, is John McManus's brilliant book, "William F. Buckley, Pied Piper for the Establishment." This book is so well documented, you will want to keep it in your library for reference.
How It Will Play Out
The starting point of any operation/project to effect change is called the Thesis; but the agents of change advance an assault/opposition to bring about an Anti-thesis which is a blatantly extreme position away from the Thesis. Now, the anti-thesis is usually so extreme that the opposition/resistance will not give in to the demands of those advancing the anti-position. Therefore the ensuing conflict results in a position composed of parts of the Thesis and also the Anti-thesis, which is called the Synthesis. This is where the Neo-Cons come in – the objective was never the anti-thesis – it was the Synthesis which the Neo-Cons, working supposedly as conservatives are able to bring about. And that, my friends, is why we never get anything but rhetoric from the Republican leadership – the other side always gets the action. It is called the Hegelian Dialectic.
Let's take a look at what has transpired since Obama arrived: As a starter, he both continued and accelerated the invasion from Mexico, which of course, was started during the Bush Administration. There is no doubt there was/is collusion between the Obama Administration and agents south of the border, which resulted in the hordes of children and adults coming into our country. This can be equated with an invasion that is initiated, coordinated and supported by the powers that be of the country which is being invaded. Yet it was, and continues to be, treated as the result of a spontaneous happening. We know it was a contrived invasion, i.e., a conspiracy.
As if that wasn't enough, by executive order, he gave amnesty to all those millions of invaders that had accumulated over time, and he did it through the DHS. Link Obama also continues to promote and assist the Muslims in their invasion of this country. I consider anyone who doesn't come here to be an American – doesn't have a right to come here. So, in effect, he is promoting something, which has as its goal, the destruction of the rights of all Americans. In fact, I'm sure he has nothing but contempt for Americans and their rights regardless of what race they might be.
The above is only for starters. I could go on and on. We must focus on other sinister matters that are lurking in the wings of the future agenda.
Where is the Republican Opposition?
One would believe the opposition (Republicans) would reject any proposals, such as the so-called free trade partnerships formulated in secret negotiations by the Obama Administration as a matter of principle. However, the response of the Republicans to the proposals has been directly opposite of what you would think would and should have been. They have embraced the so-called free trade agenda. They claim this will be good for America since it will boost the economy. Wasn't that what was claimed for NAFTA? The results were quite different from what was claimed. Do you think these members of Congress are completely ignorant of all that? If I were member of Congress, and since I know what Obama's goals are, I would oppose anything he proposed. So what does that tell us about those who are, supposedly, against what he has been doing for the past six years, but are now actually in support of his goals?
The Republicans are playing a role, when in fact, they are in on the agenda and go along with everything Obama proposes.
Arthur Thompson, CEO of the John Birch Society, had this to say, "We really do not mean to have you believe that if we lose the battle over the free trade agenda that we will have reached a point of no return. But, it will add several threads of control over the American people and Constitution which will make our task far more difficult than it has ever been. Starting with Robert Welch, our founder, we have stated that as the insiders run naked (exposed) toward their goal of a New World Order, Americans will wake up and rally behind us to stop the Insiders' plans. This will only work if the JBS is large enough at that moment and if Americans know that we are even around and have not been lulled to sleep for too long with enough government controls in place to prevent our organizing the newly awakened.
When considering the MSM's non coverage of the "free trade" issue, one can only conclude there has been a well-orchestrated and coordinated campaign to keep the American people both uninformed and misinformed of what all free trade is really all about. See the 3rd paragraph of Part 5 of this series.
In speaking of this, Thompson went on to point out, "Our campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), has not garnered the notice it deserves because it has no 'sex appeal' as some have expressed it. And let us stop calling them 'free trade agreements' which is what the insiders want us to call them. Let's call them what they are: Trans-Pacific Union and the Trans-Atlantic Union. We cannot say it any more forcibly: The TPP and the TTIP have all the means within these 'treaties' to destroy the United States as an independent country and our economy at the same time. The TTP and The TTIP are called partnerships and will be enforced as treaties and more, integrating our economy with the economies of the signatories. They are nation killers."
CEO Thompson also states that our biggest hurdle, relative to our defeat of these very dangerous unions, is the Republican Party, particularly the conservatives running for president or thinking about running. They all have come out in some form or another in favor of the TPP and the TTIP which they view as free trade.
He went on to reveal that we are having trouble with getting all the conservatives to understand the problems with these partnerships because of Republican support. He said that he had talked to several members of Congress face to face and too many cannot see that what we are dealing with is not "free trade."
The reason these conservatives, which Thompson alluded to, can't understand the problems with these "partnerships" is because of the support for them by all these lauded and applauded potential contenders for the high office of president. We have to conclude that they aren't capable of thinking for themselves that they have to look to others (the leadership) to make a decision. Therefore it stands to reason they aren't representing us at all. Just what does this tell us about those we contributed to, and worked for in the election, to send to Washington to actually represent their constituents?
It tells me we don't need them, they are completely useless, and most likely worse, harlots of the agenda of the opposition. I am finding it very difficult to remain humble when I think about how much more I know about this than they do. I'm referring to those who just don't know, not the ones that are in on the game, i.e., Neo-Con Trotskyites, those of the inner circle.
The Dangers of the Proposed Trade Agreements
At this point I will not go into the eventual and complete loss of sovereignty, i.e., being completely merged into a one world socialist dictatorship, but will focus on some of the inherent dangers of the economic integration with other countries. Those countries include Russia and China. This subtle aspect which came about as a result of prior "free trade" agreements has brought us to the point where we can no longer produce a major aircraft without parts from Russia and China. We can no longer lift a rocket into outer space without purchasing the rocket engine from Russia. We buy too many of the components for our latest high-tech weapons from our potential enemies. Think about these things in regard to mounting a real defense in time of war.
This above is only for starters. Does anyone believe this just happened, and wasn't planned, and that all this information is hidden from our representatives? No, if they don't know about it, it is because they choose not to know about it. Again, what does this tell us about our "leaders"?
What Are We Going to Do About It?
We can start by doing the little things all of us can do. We must join together and the cumulative effort can make a difference. First, we have to get in the habit of contacting our legislators to let them know where we stand on the issue, even when we know those legislators won't care, we must harass them by phone and email. We can go to jbs.org, and then scroll down to the bottom of the web page. Click on "legislative alerts," then just follow the directions. Do it soon, as free trade legislation is on its way!

Samsung Ventures' first investment in Southeast Asia is HR startup Swingvy
Samsung Ventures, the VC arm of the Korean electronics giant, has made its first investment in Southeast Asia after it backed HR startup Swingvy.
Singapore-based Swingy's service provides HR services, payroll and insurance for SMEs on a freemium basis. The company announced this week that it raised $7 million that was led by the Samsung arm with participation from Aviva Ventures — from insurance firm Aviva — and Bass Investment. Existing investors Walden International and Big Basin Capital, which financed a previous $1.6 million round, also took part.
Founded in 2016, Swingvy claims to work with over 5,100 companies across Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. Those customers, some of which do not pay, have a cumulative user base of over 100,000 employees.
"Our target customer is SMEs not enterprise," Jin Choeh, who is CEO and one of three Swingvy co-founders, told TechCrunch in an interview. "There are some local players, some legacy players and some startup competitors, but generally we saw that there's no market leader for HR tech in Southeast Asia."
The service itself covers areas such as an employee directory, processes for leave, performance management, company calendar, HR reporting, payroll and benefits. On the latter, Swingvy offers health insurance through partnerships with third-parties — Choeh said it is a licensed insurance agent. He said that new features coming soon include claims (for expenses and payments) while further down the line will be monthly insurance and corporate cards.
It is quite common for HR and other 'base-level' SME services to develop marketplaces that match their customers with third-party providers — we've seen that in Japan among very mature players, for example — but Swingvy isn't going down that route. Choeh explained that it will consider offering its own services in areas where it believes it can give value to customers and control the quality and experience directly.
More broadly, the startup is aiming to triple its customer base to 15,000 this year thanks to this new injection of capital.
The initial focus is on hiring — Swingy plans to grow its headcount of 23 to over 60 this year — and more "aggressive" sales growth. That'll mean bringing in a dedicated sales team, increasingly online advertising spend to reach new customers and being more visible around event marketing.
"Sales and marketing has been less than 10 percent of our spend," said Choeh. "We've proved our model is quite cost efficient and we believe it is time to raise sales and marketing efforts."
There's no immediate plan to expand to new markets, but the Swingvy CEO said his company is eyeing potential expansions in 2020. Potential countries include Thailand, Vietnam and Japan, he said. Indonesia — Southeast Asia's largest economy and the world's fourth most populous country — is also under review, but Choeh said his team is aware that it is hyper-competitive while the market for paid SME products is particularly challenging.
What of the relationship with Samsung? For now, the relationship is financial rather than strategic, but Choeh admitted that there could be opportunities to work closely together in the future.

Major banks and retailers impacted.
Tens of millions of customers and employees of major banks, hotels and retailers are now at risk of "spear-phishing" attacks after hackers stole their email addresses in what may become one of the biggest data breaches ever, security experts have warned.
The massive breach, involving online marketer Epsilon, a unit of Alliance Data Systems, looks like it will mainly put individuals at risk if they respond to camouflaged emails seeking their credit card numbers or other information, though it could help make those emails more believable.
The breach appeared to hit about 50 companies. About two percent of the companies that pay Epsilon to email their customers had data exposed in the attack, the online marketer said in a brief online statement on Monday. A spokeswoman would not give more details, but the company said on its website it has more 2,500 customers in all.
The breach, disclosed in stages since Friday, also reminded experts of other recent incidents in which individual company employees were targeted for email scams.
On Friday, Epsilon said some clients' customer names and email addresses were obtained via an "unauthorized entry."
Companies that have said they were exposed since then include banks Citigroup and Capital One Financial, and retailers Walgreen and Best Buy.
More companies came forward on Monday, including Blackstone Group's Hilton Hotels, Marriott International and Target.
Compromised files apparently did not include the payment card data that has created scares in the past, such as at retailer TJX.
But security experts said just having email addresses -- plus knowing where someone shops -- can help thieves write more sophisticated emails to steal financial data or spread malicious software, or malware.
That practice -- using emails that appear to come from a trustworthy source to steal data -- is sometimes known "spear-phishing" because such emails are more focused than traditional "phishing" emails.
One aim can be to get behind a company's firewalls without needing sophisticated software, said Anup Ghosh, chief scientist of security firm Invincea. Thieves might then aim for business plans or trade secrets.
"I think the Epsilon breach is a symptom of where we are in the security industry," he said. "If you look at the attacks over the past quarter they're all targeting the users, the employees inside the companies," he said.
Gartner Group analyst Avivah Litan said the Epsilon case showed better security rules may be needed. "The criminals are definitely trending toward targeted attacks, and they often start with targeted spear-phishing emails," she said.
According to a company blog dated April 1, an attacker sent two different phishing emails over a two-day period "to two small groups of employees" that seemed harmless, with the subject line "2011 Recruitment Plan."
"This was intriguing enough for one of the employees to actually pull the e-mail out of their junk box and double-click on the email attachment," according to the blog.
The attachment was a spreadsheet that also contained a feature that exploited a security vulnerability to give access to the employees' PCs and elsewhere in RSA.
Other attacks against oil and energy companies have been classified as "Night Dragon" by security firm McAfee, now part of Intel, and also rely on spear-phishing and other misleading methods.
But, he said, other marketers could have been hit just as easily. "This is an industry issue, everybody in this industry should recognize that they've dodged a bullet," said Frankland. He said he received emails from Disney, Best Buy and retailer Brookstone Inc notifying him his email had been obtained in the Epsilon attack.
Kevin Rowney, director of breach response at Symantec, said it would be weeks before investigators would figure out who hacked into Epsilon's records.
"Given the phishing activity it feels like a hacker crime ring. It's not a nation state or an intelligence agency. It's clearly someone interested in profit off of this data," he said.

A year or so ago, someone near me rejected a proposed brochure because its central focus was of a stained glass image of Jesus the good shepherd. She cited the Old Testament prohibition against graven images from Exodus. Now I am aware that this argument is still alive and well in certain Christian community, but I was startled to find it so near me. This strange series of events made me consider the nature of an image of Christ and the portrayal of his humanity. Some years ago I had the opportunity to engage certain fundamentalist Baptist pastors about such matters who are ardently opposed to images of Christ even though they had certain didactic purposes, which they consented to. Their main claim was that once you had said that this is Jesus, you would also have to explain that this is not Jesus because it only portrayed his humanity.
So how do artists get off with imaging Jesus?
To my fundamentalist interrogators I would now respond with wisdom I did not possess then, that one may have well passed Jesus on the road or in the market wholly unawares of his divinity. Our eyes have been trained by faith to see the divinity within Christ and yet N.T. Wright suggests that few, if any, Jews of the time would have expected the Messiah to be divine.
Another complicating factor concerns our Western intellectual heritage of emphasis on the written word, and for descendants of the Reformation that is seen in the written Word. While Luther was not as condemnatory of images as Calvin and Zwingli, he kept a wary eye on them. I cannot help but wonder how these emphases, so strongly rooted within Protestantism, has perpetuated this anti-image and iconoclastic tendencies within our Western version of Christianity.
Returning to the woman who rejected the brochure with images of Christ, I wanted to ask her what she thought of Mel Gibson's film The Passion. Did she enjoy it? Did she even see it? Are there Christians who praise the film and yet reject still images whether painted or sculpted? Do those who praise the film and reject images see their duplicity? What is it for them that sets the film apart from images? Are not those who act as Christ not more potentially misleading than the static images which are surely other than the humanity Jesus inhabited?
These are questions I am posing to my class this coming Monday. I am interested to hear their responses after their readings.


One of the largest protest rallies in South African history went off peacefully Wednesday in what the government and antiapartheid leaders could claim as a victory.
Uniformed police stayed away as about 20,000 singing, chanting people marched down this city`s main street under the banners of the outlawed African National Congress and other opposition groups, flouting the country`s severe security laws.
Police reported no violence or arrests. March organizers said that proved the usual restrictions are unnecessary and demanded they be removed.
The newly elected government of F.W. de Klerk effectively lifted the three-year-old state of emergency Tuesday to permit Wednesday`s march, which reflected outrage over a recent spate of killings by police.
March leaders immediately demanded the government move further by ending the emergency and legalizing opposition groups, concessions foreign governments and exile leaders are also urging.
There was no immediate government reaction to the march or the demands.
Church leaders in Johannesburg announced a similar rally for Friday and appealed to authorities not to block it, citing the Cape Town march as a precedent.
Speakers Wednesday said the peaceful rally proved police have provoked violence.
''Then we will see what kind of system South Africa wants,'' he added.
The government has proposed opening peace talks with legitimate black leaders, and clearly hoped its gesture in allowing Wednesday`s march would be taken as a sign of good faith.
The absense of police action Wednesday also addressed a scandal over recent police violence in putting down antigovernment demonstrations in mixed- race Cape Town suburbs.
Riot police were massed out of sight of the march, but hardly a uniform was to be seen in the city center. And there was no effort to block access to the city from black and mixed-race townships that have been the focus of protests for more than a month.
Schools, recent hotbeds of protest, emptied as students headed to town by bus, taxi and train.
Under the police definition of unrest, any gathering for other than religious services or a sports event is illegal. The result of this and other repressive laws is that mass rallies have been extremely rare. In the last three years, police have routinely whipped and unleashed dogs on those trying to protest.
An estimated 25,000 people attended a 1959 ''Women`s March'' in Pretoria to protest the so-called pass laws, and the next year about 30,000 people joined a spontaneous march on Parliament that was blocked by police.
He is to be formally elected Thursday following his party`s re-election last week on a pledge to make blacks full partners in government.
There was no counterprotest by white extremists, and white onlookers seemed to be taking it all in stride.
Dancing black teenagers paraded the green, black and gold banner of the exiled African National Congress and sang the praises of its guerrillas, usually a cue for police to move in.
Others in the crowd sang ''We Shall Overcome'' and waved the banners of various opposition groups, nearly all of them heavily restricted under the state of emergency.
Finally the crowd stood outside City Hall in a park called the Grand Parade. In the same place, police with whips chased protesters who had been sprayed with purple dye 10 days earlier.
''If you know really what is good for us, you will join us,'' he said.
The government, however, wasn`t alone in making concessions.
March organizers, including the newly elected mayor of Cape Town, headed off a sure confrontation by agreeing to march to City Hall instead of to Parliament.


Queensland researchers have found a way to kill the Zika virus using compounds found in an Australian native plant.
The compounds halt the virus, which causes birth defects, and stop it replicating without damage to host mammalian cells, QUT scientists say.
"The research is in the early stages, but we are aiming to ultimately synthesise the compounds in question and turn our attention to preclinical testing," lead researcher Dr Trudi Collet said in a statement.
She didn't name the plant, presumably for commercial reasons, but said it was fairly common, and its compounds were found to kill 100 per cent of the Zika infection in cells.
"It's also exciting because of the implications of this work for other viruses. Zika, dengue, West Nile, Japanese encephalitis and yellow fever are all from the same family of viruses - flaviviridae."
Researchers will spend the next three to five months working to synthesise the compounds, and will then to go on to test them on the other viruses.
Zika causes severe disability in babies by attacking developing stem cells in the brain - but in adults, whose brains are fully formed, it often causes no more than mild flu-like symptoms.
QUT researchers have been working in collaboration with Australian-based biotech company Health Focus Products Australia.
HFPA chairman and founder Dr Mark Baldock says Zika is becoming more prevalent and has been shown to remain in human sperm for six months.
He says the breakthrough offers promise of one day being able to eliminate the virus from people who contract it in the very early stages, thereby reducing risks around conception.

On Wednesday, the EUR / USD currency pair formed a predominantly upward movement, but at the end of the day, buyers could not keep the price at the reached levels and as a result, the trades were completed with zero deviation relative to the opening price.
The most significant support factor for the US currency were the published FOMC protocols. Fed officials decided to suspend the process of normalizing interest rates in the country until they can more deeply and thoroughly determine the extent to which external and internal pressure factors affect the economy. However, some participants in the meeting believe that the US economy is still very strong and ready for at least one rate increase in 2019. Apparently, this was enough to provide the main support for the dollar index.
Also, investors drew attention to Trump's statement yesterday, in which he did not rule out the introduction of higher duties on European cars, unless the parties enter into a trade agreement. Further development of this situation will provide serious support to the dollar, which is viewed by investors as the main protective asset against trading risks, and put pressure on the European currency, which is already under strong pressure from economic problems in the EU.
Today, the market expects publication of a large block of statistical information from the EU and Europe.
In the EU, preliminary data on PMI indices of production and services sectors are of most interest. Investors will pay special attention to data from Germany, the economic situation in which causes the greatest concerns. Also today, at 15:30 Moscow time, the minutes from the last ECB meeting on monetary policy will be made public.
In the US, in addition to the news regarding the course of trade negotiations between the United States and China, traders will pay attention to the publication of data on orders for durable goods, sales on the secondary housing market and indices from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
On the chart, first of all, we note the unsuccessful attempt of buyers to consolidate above the level of 1.1350. Everything ended with a false breakout, which is a strong reversal signal, indicating a continuation of the movement within the bearish trend, which remains dominant at more senior time intervals. The main target for this movement is still the level 1.1200. It is worth counting on continued upward movement only after the price consolidates above 1.1350.
Resistance Levels: 1.1350, 1.1400, 1.1450.
Levels of support: 1.1320, 1.1260, 1.1200.
The news background for the currency pair remains moderately negative. On the chart there are signals for a reversal. Therefore, today we give preference to sales of that are to be found in the range of 1.1350-1.1360.

The Vancouver Incident is Proof Bob Hartley is a Terrible Coach
Lost in the kerfuffle of suspensions and fines for the coaches of the Canucks and Flames respectively, is one very important piece of information: Bob Hartley showed his hand as a shortsighted and poor coach.

Share All sharing options for: The Vancouver Incident is Proof Bob Hartley is a Terrible Coach
James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports
Hartley and Tortorella clearly have a bit of history together, going all the way back to 1995 in the AHL. Hartley knows he can get under Torts skin, and he did so on Saturday. Generally speaking this can be used for tactical advantages— manipulating an opponents emotions is exceptionally helpful in any sort of competition.
So Bob Hartley saw this possibility, started to strategize, and came up with the dumbest possible idea of all: attempting to intimidate Tort's team by starting with a goon line for the first time in the season. Surely, there must have been some way this could've worked to the Flames advantage, right? Wrong. Let's run through the theoretical responses from Tortorella.
Respond With Skill
Obviously, Hartley was trying to goad Tortorella into avoiding this, and that worked. I guess that makes his plan a success if you want to qualify it like that. But let's say Torts isn't biting and puts out literally any line but the Sesito-Weise-Lain. What happens there?
Well, barring the Sedins getting dumb and trying to fight McGrattan and Westgarth, that fourth line is going to get burned. Blair Jones was the only Flame out there who could play hockey at any skill level above "fart", so even if the Canucks put out the third line, chances are they'd end up with some quality time in the Flames end.
But okay, maybe Hartley knows Tortorella well enough that he predicted Torts would respond to the thugs in kind, is that any better?
Respond with Goons
This is what happened. Torts saw that the dancing bears would be on the ice to start the game and thought "Oh hell no." And if that's what Hartley was aiming for, well good for him. Except it's still useless.
What was the outcome of Tortorella giving in to Hartley's intimidation? The players on the ice brawled. A bunch of garbage players and Blair Jones got sent to the penalty box. Some other players took dumb penalties later in the period. That was it. Calgary gained no advantage from the encounter.
Either way you look at it, this looks bad on Bob Hartley. First there's the issue of him trying to use intimidation at all, rather than actually, you know, coaching. Then there's the issue of him playing such a poor game.
No matter how you shake it, this wasn't a game Hartley was likely to win. The best outcome was a non-outcome where both teams lost their thugs for most, if not all, of the game. If Tortorella had been a remotely more rational coach he would have absolutely smoked the Calgary goons.
Even if, as I hear the Hartley Homers claiming already, his intention was to goad Tortorella into doing something dumb like trying to charge into the locker room and get suspended for 15 days, it doesn't help Calgary at all. The Flames aren't challenging Vancouver for their spot in the division. There is literally a difference of twenty points in the standings between the two, and it's not like they play again in the time Torts is suspended.
Hartley's been listed as a poor coach in my book since he started arbitrarily benching SVEN and Backlund in the fall, but this absolutely finalizes my opinion of him. He didn't just make a bad bet- he went all in after folding during the blind.


Our story begins in 1995, when Ivano Balestrieri creates Il Mondo del Vetro, by opening our first showroom of Venitian collectible glasses in Arese (Mi). Our pieces by Venini, Fratelli Toso and Archimede Seguso start to be exhibited in national fairs of antiques such as Brocantage of Milan and Mercanteinfiera at Fiere di Parma.
Several collaborations start as well, with artists like Ugo Nespolo or Memphis Milano group, and it makes grow in Il Mondo del Vetro the interest and the passion also for the design and the contemporary art. In this way, in addition to the Murano glass, there are works by Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi and Piero Fornasetti, paintings by Franco Fasulo, coming to cover the whole applied art from 1900 up until today.
In the last years Il Mondo del Vetro has reached also the international market by taking part in events like Les Puces du Design in the heart of Paris or Brussels Design Market in Bruxelles. Il Mondo del Vetro is committed also in the diffusion of the culture of glass and design, that is why we have decided to collaborate in project with associations like Heart - Pulsazioni culturali, and Pila Gallery. The last one is in Orta San Giulio, in the Dimora delle Arti at Palazzo Penotti Ubertini, where il Mondo del Vetro has a permanent exhibition.
In November 2017, il Mondo del Vetro realized an exhibition about Ettore Sottsass, in occasion of the centenary of artist's birth. "Hommage à Ettore Sottsass" took place in Paris, at Les Puces du Design.
In spring 2018 il Mondo del Vetro have also started a collaboration with LaMari Creative Shoppping for creating a concept store where fashion, art and design dialogue and interact. Here periodically we organize exhibitions and cultural events in order to promoting the culture in every aspects.
With over twenty years of experience, il Mondo del Vetro keeps to fully satisfy the requests of its customers by choosing only the best works in the market.

I am listening to you on Mari's call right now. I was looking for some information on the description of the crystals and what they each are good for on your website. Can you please direct me? Or, do you have some information on this topic? You are very knowledgeable.. Thanks for great content.
Do you have vitalaxin or biolaxin available among tor products?
I just ordered your special from Mari's telesummit and I have a few questions.
I have used Bioidentical hormones for 4 years then it wasn't working anymore, night sweats back, doctor said use more. I have been off it for a year due to my financial situation and want to go back on but now with you saying that I need the relaxin to make it work properly, I don't know what to do. I have called around and know one in Calgary knows about Relaxin. Where do I get it?
What are your products, your 60 day supply, what do they do for you.
I need my hormones back I have studied to long and hard finding out about them to stop but do I go back on the Estrogen and Progesterone without the help of the Relaxin.
Thanks May for all of your hard work in this area, it is so important.


Those crazy guidos and guidettes everyone loves from Jersey Shore are back, and honestly, we've been missing them. No one does drunken messiness quite like they do, and the Jersey crew all do it with shameless pride. Now that they're all returning to television for their new season, Jersey Shore Family Vacation, we're celebrating Shore style. After all, what premiere watch party is complete without a drinking game? You can even fist bump as you're playing it (actually, on second thought, please don't do that).
Our special Jersey Shore drinking game is perfectly tailored to the new season and features all your old favorites, from Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Pauly D and the "keto guido" version of Vinny Guadagnino. Unfortunately, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola won't be on the new show, but while playing the drinking game, you'll hardly even notice that she's not there. Not only will this game get you tipsy, it will make watching the premiere feel like an interactive experience. Hey, if the gang gets to get stupid drunk, why can't we? And if you're a lightweight, you better pray Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino doesn't show up too much with his legal woes and cringey jokes. Otherwise you might end the night face down on the floor a lá Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
Here's how to play. Print out or save the image above. Make sure to read it first before the premiere. Playing the game is a lot easier when you have the majority of the prompts semi-memorized. Next, get your booze ready. You can drink whatever your alcohol of choice is, but make sure you have at least a bottle of vodka or tequila around to take shots with. As you're watching the show, chug your drink or take a shot every time you see one of the prompts listed on the sheet. It's easy and fun to play, but it's deadly. Don't say we didn't warn you!

Adaptation and Climate Action
From: Department of the Taoiseach
Climate change adaptation means the way in which we plan for the negative effects of climate change and taking suitable action to prevent or minimise damage caused by climate change.
Effective climate adaptation can minimise risks, costs and also protect lives and property by building resilience into existing systems. This can ultimately help minimise the level of emergency response required in the face of severe weather events. Actions should be risk based and determined by existing vulnerabilities in individual communities with a view to protecting vulnerable areas from future damage due to projected climate change.
These measures can cover anything from direct risk like flood risk management and prevention to indirect effects of climate change like protecting workers through a Just Transition.
Climate adaptation is a critical aspect of community engagement in climate action. Adaptation measures may often be region- and community-specific, and require close collaboration and coordination at local level.
Our National Adaptation Framework published in 2018 provides a national strategy to reduce the vulnerability of the country to the negative effects of climate change and to avail of positive impacts. It was developed under the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 .
2. Ambitions and targets
Building on the National Adaptation Framework , the Climate Action Plan sets out climate adaptation measures to ensure that the State is ready to protect people from the negative effects of climate change in Ireland and steps to limit any damage caused.
3. Actions completed to date
Sectoral Adaptation Plans
On 31 October 2019, Government published 12 sectoral adaptation plans in relation to the following sectors:
1. Agriculture
2. Forestry
3. Seafood
4. Biodiversity
5. Built and archaeological heritage
6. Transport infrastructure
7. Electricity and gas networks
8. Communications networks
9. Flood risk management
10.	Water quality
11.	Water services infrastructure
12. Health
Each of the Plans identify the key risks faced across the sector and the approach being taken to address these risks and build climate resilience for the future. They were developed applying a six step adaptation planning process described in Sectoral Planning Guidelines for Climate Change Adaptation , published by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
The plans include actions that:
Mainstream adaptation into key sectoral plans and policies.
Identify and understand the key vulnerabilities, risks, and opportunities facing specific sectors, as well as major risks cross cutting different sectors.
Ensure climate-proofing of strategic emergency planning.
Identify and collect information on the costs and benefits of adaptation within specific sectors.
Build capacity within sectors to cope with climate change.
Identify and address key research gaps within their sectors.
Improve co-ordination with the Local Government sector.
Develop appropriate monitoring and verification systems within sectors.

Richard Hawley's 6th studio album came out yesterday, and admittedly I'm late to the party. Not to hearing this album, 24 hours is fashionably late, and besides, it was a bank holiday. What I'm late to is Richard flipping Hawley. Six albums in, and he's just crossed my radar. People like to think that I have a breadth of musical knowledge and taste, but there are some serious gaping holes to be found.
I've heard the name before. As Arctic Monkeys won the Mercury prize way back when for their debut album, their first comment on receiving the award was "Phone 999, Richard Hawley's been robbed." Hawley was a fellow nominee, and a fellow Tyke (/Sheffieldian). Hawley and the Monkeys have made music together since then; in fact Hawley has had many fingers in many delicious pies over the years. He's worked with the likes of Pulp, Elbow, he even played the guitar lick in the All Saints cover of 'Under the Bridge'. I've always secretly loved that song, and now I have a valid reason to proclaim my love for it out loud.
I read a review of the new album last week, and it sounded phenomenal. I'm listening to it for the first time right now, and it is phenomenal. Fuzzy prog-rock full of atmosphere, character and charm. Hawley seems particularly apt at slowly building up something thundorous and explosive, but knows how to keep everything on a leash so it never reaches a proggy Mars Volta level of insaneness (here's a link to one track/16+ minutes of MV insanity, but I love them all the more so for it). Just the perfect amount.
So here's a little teaser of Richard Hawley. This is the first track I heard, and I don't really want to describe it. I just want you to listen to it. Slap on some big headphones. Don't do anything else for six minutes. Just enjoy it.


Using service objects pattern in a Rails project, or any MVC framework for that matter, is a good coding practice to avoid "fat" models that violate the Single Responsibility Principle.
This code has a major drawback. We are coupling PostSocialUpdate with Twitter::REST::Client, and it's impossible to replace Twitter::REST::Client with a different social networking client without modifying PostSocialUpdate. Software requirements change, so our code should be comfortable to change as well.
Instead of inserting the responsibility of instantiating social networking client to PostSocialUpdate, we move it outside of it. i.e. when we create PostSocialUpdate service. This is often called dependency injection.
Specifically, we are doing constructor dependency injection here, since we are passing the dependencies to the constructor.
This simple change brings us a couple of benefits.
Switching to a different service is a no brainer. PostSocialUpdate is no longer coupled with Twitter::REST::Client and can be dynamically set to another service at run time.
Testing PostSocialUpdate becomes straightforward. Whereas the first version may require us to mock Twitter::REST::Client object, the latter just needs a dummy service object that responds to update and can be verified that update has indeed been called.
One way to make it work is to wrap it with an adapter with the update method we want. But please hold that thought for a second, and come back to PostSocialUpdate.
There is coupling here we've missed. PostSocialUpdate is coupled with the method update of Twitter::REST::Client. Now, let's imagine we are starting from scratch with PostSocialUpdate and not knowing yet which social networking client to work with. What would be the service object we wish we had? I'll say anything that has a call method that performs posting a social update.
While it seems no different than wrapping Koala::Facebook::API with an update method, this gives us abstraction and flexibility. We are able to keep coding without knowing which social networking clients to work with beforehand.
Furthermore, what if our business now requires posting an update to both Facebook and Twitter. All we need to do is swapping in the following service object.
We've certainly improved our initial code and gained flexibility and extensibility. Note that since we are allowing anything that responds to a call here, we can even use a plain function.
This is the power of abstraction and composition!

Q: AS3 - MovieClip array: play each movie after another AS3 Newbie here... very confused, please be kind ;)
I have a MovieClip (rozette), which contains 7 instances of a MovieClip (circle).  circle contains an animation and I would like to play each instance of it within rozette consecutively.
Questions - do I need to use an array? Is using eventListener the best way to do this? If so, how can I create an eventlistener for each item in the array? And what kind of event am I listening for?
Many thanks. Kat

A: You can see some options given as answers here:
Flash AS3 - Wait for MovieClip to complete
Basically I would think you want to have an array and a counter for which one you're on, each time the "playNext" function gets called, you should increment the counter and pull the next movie clip from the array.  What this means is the order of elements in the array will dictate the order they play in.  Something like:
private var myArray:Array = [mc1,mc2,mc3]; //list all the movieclip instance names here
private var counter:Number = 0;  //start off on the first element, arrays in AS3 start at 0

//Play the next clip
private function playNext():void {
    //Check that we're not at the end of the list, if so just return/stop
    if(counter>myArray.length-1)
        return;

    //grab the next clip
    var curClip:MovieClip = myArray[counter] as MovieClip;

    //increment the counter for next time
    counter++;

    //when the last frame gets hit call this function again
    curClip.addFrameScript(curClip.totalFrames-1, playNext);

    //play the clip
    curClip.play();
}

From your constructor of your Main class you would want to call playNext() once to get things rolling.

A:

import com .greensock.*;
import com. greensock.easing.*;
var s1:b1=new b1();
var s2:b2=new b2();
var s3:b3=new b3();
var r1:Array = new Array();
r1.push(s1);
r1.push(s2);
r1.push(s3);
function ff (){
var i = 0;
while (i < r1.length) {

 r1[i].visible=false
 r1[0].visible=true
 addChild(r1[i]);
    i++;
}
TweenMax.staggerTo(r1, 0.4, {visible:true},0.2);
}
bb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cliki4x);
function cliki4x(e:Event):void{
 ff ();

Since Yesterday Side-Line has joined up with the social network Tsū, an online social networking service headquartered in New York City. Tsū is a free social network and payment platform that shares up to 90% of revenues with its users and precisely that is exactly why Facebook does not want this network to grow – at least not via Facebook. As a result Facebook made an update so its impossible to link to a Tsū link from Facebook, claiming it's for security purposes. Complete nonsense of course.
So how does this payment model exactly work? Tsū literally shares 90% of its profits with the users, for any type of content, size of network or level of influence as long as it's original content. Users have the ability to transfer funds from their bank to other friends, charities or members. So for those who want to show off their own pictures and music, this is a network to be part of, and in the meantime earn also a few pennies here and there. Users can also receive a check for their earned revenue once their bank reaches $100.
But it's not the payment that makes it the most interesting on the long run. The biggest advantage, besides a non-abusive and open approach by the platform towards its members is its profile/page reach. As we all know the reach of a Facebook page right now is kept on purpose abysmally low (in order for you to buy reach that is to reach the people you already have paid for to add to your page in the first place). If you currently have 10.000 'likes' on Facebook, you may be glad to reach 600 people with a single post.
Not so with Tsū, all your posts are visible to everyone who follows your page. Wasn't that why we all started liking a page on Facebook so that we would get updates from that page in our newsfeed? So for artists who want to build up a following on this social network, there is a huge potential as far as reach is concerned once you have gathered fans for your profile/page. And it's feasible, some artists have already reached over 150.000 fans on the network and are doing pretty well as far as updating their fans.
The thing is, you better make sure to be the first on this young network because if it takes really off the ground, you'll be in for a very good disruptive treat. Since you can only join up by invitation, here's the link to follow in order to sign up. Just click 'Join' and complete the registration. Users who spam or post inappropriate content will be banned in order to preserve the community, so only sign up if you want to play the game correctly.
Follow Side-Line on Tsū and with some luck we can start an interesting project there!
Thanks to David Fagin @nikchapman for his inspiring post on Huffingpost which led to this article.

Al-Sisi received a US jewish delegation and Jordan King last week .. Is there a new deal being cooked up behind closed doors?
February 28, 2017 Noura Ali Egypt Latest News, Israel Latest News, Jordan Latest News, Palestine Latest News
Days after al-Sisi met US Jewish group, King Abdullah II of Jordan arrived in Cairo in an official one-day visit last Tuesday to discuss several regional issues and cooperation with Egypt.
Following his arrival, Al-Sisi accompanied Abdullah to the Ittihadiya Presidential Palace in Cairo's Heliopolis suburb.The last official visit for King Abdullah to Egypt was in August 2016.
The visit included discussions that the sake of strengthening cooperation as well as tackling regional issues of common interest, namely the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the upcoming Arab League summit that is to be held in Jordan in March.
Prior to the Jordanian King's visit, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met representatives from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
During the meeting al-Sisi said that reaching an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of his top priorities.
In addition, he told the delegation of US Jewish groups that reaching a peace deal would remove a main impetus behind terror attacks .
He also noted that a regional peace would bring a new reality, enabling cultural and economic development for countries in the area.
In addition, the meeting also issued the Egypt's efforts in counter terrorism and the general social, political, and economic condition in the country, in addition to Egypt's visions to resolve the crises that the Middle East currently faces.
In fact, the US Jewish delegation visit aimed to work at improving ties between the US and Egypt, according to a statement from the Egyptian Presidency.
In December 2016, a delegation from the American Jewish Committee visited Egypt and held meeting with Al-Sisi and Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, where Al-Sisi stressed Egypt's eagerness to enhance bilateral relations with the US during their meeting.
Signs of a strong alliance between US new administration and al-Sisi regime have been obvious since Trump campaign in the US elections.
Al-Sisi was one of a few world leaders Trump requested to meet when he was a candidate on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September.
During their meeting,Trump also expressed to al-Sisi "his strong support for Egypt's war on terrorism, and how under a Trump administration, the United States of America will be a loyal friend, not simply an ally, that Egypt can count on in the days and years ahead."
Moreover, al-Sisi was among the first World Leader to congratulate Trump to congratulate him on his victory.
Later on Sunday, the delegation set off a four-day mission to Israel, after some delegates visited Morocco and Egypt.
In fact al-Sisi's meeting last Sunday came amid an Israeli media report detailed a" secret summit" between Al-Sisi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Jordan's King Abdullah and US secretary of state John Kerry last year aimed at cobbling together a regional peace initiative.
According to Israel's Haaretz daily newspaper, "A year ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met secretly with the leaders of Egypt and Jordan in a failed attempt by the Obama administration to convene a wider regional summit on Israeli-Palestinian peace."
Haaretz cited an unidentified senior officials in former U.S. President Barack Obama's administration, who said that Netanyahu, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt, Jordan's King Abdullah and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry convened on February 21, 2016 in the Jordanian Red Sea resort of Aqaba.
But, the initiative to include other Arab states in the pursuit of peace with the Palestinians ultimately gradually ended , the newspaper said, "after Netanyahu withdrew his initial support, pointing to opposition within his right-wing government."
Haaretz said that the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas did not attend the Aqaba meeting but was updated by Kerry.
A cabinet member, who was present at a meeting with ministers from his Likud party and preferred to remain anonymous, said that Netanyahu acknowledged the meeting took place, though he said it was his own initiative to try and bring about a regional summit.
In this context, a spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minster declined to comment on the report. Sisi's office issued a statement referring to the news report, though it did not name Haaretz, as having "incorrect information" , however, it did not deny that a meeting took place.
The Egyptian presidency only said that"Egypt spares no efforts to reach a just and permanent solution to the Palestinian issue, based on the two-state solution and the Palestinians' right to establish an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, without any political outbidding."
No immediate comment was available from Jordan.
There is no doubt that al-Sisi's meeting with US delegation and King Abdullah II at the same week in Cairo infer the possibility of an upcoming development on the Palestinian arena or a new initiative,especially that al-Sisi also met with the Jewish group last year shortly before the secret summit.

A Choir holds Nepal benefit concert
By Isabella Garcia, Reporter|May 30, 2015|2 Views
After being blocked out of this year's choral state competition by the OSAA, Cleveland's A Choir decided to find a way to share their music anyway. After a suggestion by the department's dedicated volunteer, Mary K Parham, the choir concurred that hosting a benefit concert for disaster relief in Nepal was the ideal response to the unfortunate situation. Reaching out to other choirs to join them, A Choir began the preparations for a night of celebratory music.
On Thursday May 21, nearly 200 supporters filled Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Portland. Joined by Wilson W.A.V.E and the Grant Royal Blues, A Choir was able to share the state set that they had dedicated months of work on to a room full of people who supported them wholeheartedly. The choir also invited a representative from Mercy Corps, the organization they were using to donate the proceeds from the event to the Nepal earthquake relief fund, to attend the concert. The Mercy Corps representative was able to inform the audience on the severity of the conditions in Nepal and what the donations would be used for.
The chatter within the choir after the concert was upbeat and positive. "We took advantage of the fact that we couldn't go to state and we turned it into something beautiful," said junior A Choir member Bella Forrest about the performance.
In response to the success of the night, choir director Diana Rowey said, "The choir was able to let loose and have more fun, and at the same time, we were able to create some good for a lot of people."
The amount raised for disaster relief in Nepal was not available at press time.

Q: Rails 2 level nested forms I slightly modified and extended the example for building nested forms to implement the second level of nesting. Everything is displayed perfectly on the form. Data for the person is displayed at both nesting levels correctly. The corresponding JS scripts work to add and remove nested forms. All 3 are generated using scaffold.

But when I click on update, only the main form and the first nesting level (addresses) are updated. The second nesting level (nested addresses) is not updated. Although I also get parameters from the second nesting level in the controller ("name"=>"UPDATE NAME OF NESTED ADDRESS").
{
"_method"=>"patch",
"authenticity_token"=>"VZ09CR-aO2D4Wv3AwEa5PHXo-mA_--c6QPUN6f0Gb_9SJJSL2gIwzCl4G4SbzRy2t3wxJHytBWiPwysNJMrWgg",
"person"=>{
  "first_name"=>"Liz",
  "last_name"=>"Smith",
  "addresses_attributes"=>{
    "0"=>{
      "_destroy"=>"false",
      "kind"=>"Some kind",
      "street"=>"Some street",
      "nested_addresses_attributes"=>{
        "0"=>{
          "_destroy"=>"false",
          "name"=>"UPDATE NAME OF NESTED ADDRESS",
          "id"=>"1"
        }
      },
  "id"=>"10"}}},
"commit"=>"Update Person",
"controller"=>"people",
"action"=>"update",
"id"=>"3"}

I understand that even the first nesting level is magically handled behind the scenes, but I don't understand how? And how to handle the second level as well? In general, the Create Update, Delete methods do not work for the second nesting level.

Ashton Kutcher might be seen in the new `Ghostbusters` movie
Director Ivan Reitman - who worked with Ashton on new romantic comedy `No Strings Attached` - confirmed actor Bill Murray has seen a script for the third movie in the series but no final decisions had been made on casting.
He told Digital Spy: "He`s seen it and we`re waiting to hear. Fingers crossed."
When asked if 33-year-old Ashton would be involved with the project, he added it was "absolutely possible".
Meanwhile, Bill - who played Dr. Peter Venkman in the first two instalments of the sci-fi comedy - has revealed he knows the script exists but he has yet to read it through because it`s not "the foremost thing" in his mind.
He told radio host Howard Stern: "I guess I`m the problem. Before I was an asset, no I`m a problem. Before I was an asset, no I`m a problem. There`s a script somewhere but I haven`t read it yet.
"I`ll get to it, I gotta get to it. I feel bad. It`s nor the foremost thing in my mind, so I don`t think about it. You know, the studio gets excited every 10 years or so. What they`d really like to do is recreate the franchise."

Ren Yi ou Jên I, appelé aussi Ren Bonian ou Jên Po-Nien, né en 1840 et mort en 1896, est un peintre chinois du . Il est originaire de Shanyin, province du Zhejiang.

Biographie
Ren Yi est un peintre de figures, d'animaux, de paysages, de natures mortes, de fleurs et fruits. C'est l'un des «quatre Ren» avec Ren Xiong, Ren Xun, Ren Yu. Avec ses frères Ren Xiong et Ren Xun, il maintient en vigueur la tradition lettrée jusqu'à la fin du . Il est connu pour ses peintures de fleurs et d'oiseaux à la manière des maîtres Song et de Chen Hongshou en particulier. Certaines de ses œuvres sont conservées au Musée du Palais de Pékin.

L'École de Shanghai (1840-1920)
Quand les portes closes de la dynastie des Qing sont forcées par les puissances occidentales à l'issue des guerres de l'Opium au , Shanghai devient un port commercial ouvert. À mesure que se développe l'économie de la ville, les marchands, les propriétaires fonciers ruinés et les paysans s'y précipitent en masse, augmentant sa population de manière considérable. Du choc entre les anciennes traditions et ces forces nouvelles, émerge un nouveau style de peinture. Les œuvres de l'École de Shanghai correspondent au goût des citadins. En dépit de leurs antécédents différents, ces artistes sont tous confrontés à un marché de l'art en mutation. Le goût oisif et raffiné des lettrés décline, remplacé par une demande de nouveauté et d'innovation. Les thèmes peuvent rester les mêmes, mais la façon dont ils sont traités diffère.

Pour la plupart, les peintures de personnages de l'École de Shanghai racontent des histoires d'immortels et de personnages historiques familières aux gens du commun, plutôt que de se fonder sur des allusions surtout comprises des lettrés. Quant aux peintures d'oiseaux-et-fleurs, elles sont exécutées dans un style qui combine l'esquisse libre et le style méticuleux. Les couleurs sont toujours lumineuses, les images vivantes. Parmi les artistes les plus célèbres de l'École de Shanghai, on compte, outre Ren Yi  [Ren Bonian], les peintres Xugu (1824-1896), Qian Hui'an (1833-1911),  Wu Jiayou, Ren Xiong (1820-1857), Ren Xun et Ren Yu.

Les quatre Ren

Les quatre Ren (Ren Xiong, Ren Xun, Ren Yu et Ren Yi sont eux aussi très actifs à Shanghai. Ren Yi, aussi connu sous le nom de Ren Bonian, est le fils d'un portraitiste d'une certaine notoriété. Dès son jeune âge, Ren Yi se distingue par son exceptionnelle capacité à mémoriser les visages. Un jour, alors qu'il n'a que dix ans, un ami vient rendre visite à son père, absent à ce moment-là. À son retour, le père demande au jeune Ren le nom de son visiteur. L'enfant, qui a omis de le demander, fait un dessin, grâce auquel le père reconnait son visiteur immédiatement. Dans sa jeunesse, Ren sert comme porte-drapeau dans l'armée paysanne du Royaume Céleste des Taiping. Puis il se rend à Shanghai et Suzhou, et apprend à peindre auprès de Ren Xun. Il finit par s'installer définitivement à Shanghai où il vit de la vente de ses peintures.

Style et technique
Ren Yi excelle dans la technique du portrait, la peinture de personnages et d'oiseaux-et-fleurs. Ses peintures de personnages tendent à être narratives et sont fondées sur des anecdotes historiques ou populaires. Les figures très vivantes, sont exécutées avec des lignes fluides. Ses peintures d'oiseaux-et-fleurs sont réputées pour leurs superbes couleurs et leurs formes exquises. Ses œuvres représentent en général des thèmes simples, populaires, dans des compositions pleines de vie et de beaux coloris. Elles ont la faveur des citadins: Ren Yi est l'artiste de l'École de Shanghai qui vend le plus de peintures, et il laisse derrière lui des milliers d'œuvres.

Portrait d'un crève-la-faim

Cette peinture représente un célèbre peintre de fleurs, Wu Changshuo, contemporain de Ren Yi. Wu est un fonctionnaire subalterne qui touche un maigre salaire avant de se mettre à la peinture, et le portrait montre la sympathie de l'artiste à l'égard de la situation de son ami. Les traits du visage sont rehaussés à la ligne fine et les vêtements avec des aplats de couleur, formant un contraste qui rend le portrait remarquablement ressemblant tant dans son apparence que dans son esprit. Un autre de ses tableaux, Faisans et dahlia est représentatif des peintures d'oiseaux-et-fleurs de Ren Yi. Employant une technique dans laquelle la couleur et l'encre sont appliquées séparément, Ren sait rendre l'épaisseur et la douceur du plumage des oiseaux. Son travail au pinceau est naturel et libre.

After being grounded by the FAA for four months, Boeing began its deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner to All Nippon Airways today.
After four months of being grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing (NYSE:BA) said today that deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner have resumed. The company's new flagship plane was grounded a few months ago, after a problem with the batteries caused them to overheat. The company resumed its first deliveries from its Everett, Wash., factory to Japanese company All Nippon Airways.
Randy Tinseth, vice president of marketing for Boeing, said in a blog post today: "The health of our 787 factories in Everett and North Charleston has never been better or more efficient. And despite the disruption in deliveries over the past several months, we still expect to deliver all the 787s we originally planned to by the end of the year."
Boeing recently ramped up production of its 787 Dreamliners to seven per month.
