I've been doing this for ten years now.
Not making the lussekatter; that's a tradition of longer standing. But writing about the making of the lussekatter every year. About doing the work of the dark of the year, singing the light back into the world while you make the saffron-rich bread. About Santa Lucia Day, how it comes before Solstice so there is more dark to come, and what that means to me. It's the same every year. It's different every year. Holidays are like that.
This year in particular I am so glad to have a ritual to fall back on, work that yields to patience and experience and knowledge. The long rise changed my life. This year I made a half-batch, carefully measuring the beaten egg into my tiniest measuring cup, pouring half of it into the dough and half down the drain. (I know. It would have been fine with a whole egg. But I want it the way it's supposed to taste, not a slightly richer version.) And between the smaller mass of dough and the knowledge gained from years past, it was an easy knead, turning pliable almost as soon as I picked it up.
In addition to Christmas songs, I find myself singing other songs every year, whatever pops into my head. "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" and "This Year" and whatever else feels appropriate. This year I discovered that what I was singing was Paul Simon's "The Boy in the Bubble," with a line I never really thought of before: "These are the days of miracle and wonder, and don't cry, baby, don't cry." The days of miracle and wonder, we find out, are not the same as the days of ease and laughter. The days of miracle and wonder make us weep, and not just for joy. Not even mostly for joy.
Sometimes miracle and wonder come upon us all unawares. But sometimes we have to work for them. We have to work our asses off for them, and cry and despair and feel that we've come to the end of the line. And some of us have–I don't want to pretend that it's inevitable that we always win out, that we always come through the dark times. Sometimes it is just all too damn much. And the people around us, the people we turn to for help, may have reached their point of "all too damn much" in ways and for reasons that we don't know or don't understand.
And it's so easy to feel distant from everyone we love, to see the distances and not the ways in which we're close. It's so easy to feel like we're struggling alone instead of together. But it's not true. Or it doesn't have to be.
And still we try to carve out something beautiful, something fragrant and fine. Something we can give, something that connects us. Something miraculous and wonderful. Even in a year where the dark days have taken turns we never imagined. Especially in that kind of year. I'm struggling to remember which rabbi it was, what the exact wording was, who said that the work of the world is neither ours to complete nor ours to abandon. Not my tradition–but one of my truths. One of my great truths.
It's time to sing the songs and bake the bread. It's time to find our way kicking and screaming into miracle and wonder. And it's time to do the work in the dark time to bring the light back into the world in the days ahead.

I finally printed and made your recipe for lussekatter. It was such fun, (I had help), that I made a second batch, (again with help), and distributed them early in the morning at work and it did indeed bring much needed light to these dark and troubled times. Also got me in good with the payroll department which is always a good thing. Thank you so much for writing about it and sharing the recipe. I needed that!
I am so glad you enjoyed both the post and the recipe. Yay lussekatter!
I'm going to be making lattkes, in honor of Hanukkah this year. I'm going to try to make some lussekatter also, in honor of Christmas. You gave me this idea of having both, and making a few dishes that celebrate everyone.
What a great idea, Scott.


If you think project management is a case of the blind leading the blind, try your hand at marketing some time.
Niche content designed to go viral can literally apply to people in a geographic region of a single neighbourhood.
And the neighbourhood can be both literally, as in a few blocks of houses, and figurative, as in a small hobby interest about bare back riding on the slopes of Machu Pichu.
The distance between "unable to" and "can" is getting narrower. I was unable to reach a wide enough audience with my ideas. But now I can. I was unable to build my own furniture. But now I can. I was unable to design my own shoes. But now I can. Now, we all can. On the flip side, the distance between can and will is getting wider. I can print my own t-shirts. But I don't have the time. I can design my own jewelry. But there's so many other things to do. I can build my own publishing channel. But this other company did it for me. The problem with "will" is that we defer the action of doing until later, because we use the paradox of choice to make no choice at all.

Unilever to acquire Horlicks and GSK's Health Food Drinks portfolio
By Rachel Arthur contact

Unilever will acquire GlaxoSmithKline's Health Food Drinks portfolio in Asia for €3.3bn ($3.8bn): a move that will boost its presence in the Indian market.
Unilever says the acquisition ties in with two key strategic goals for the company: increasing its presence in health-food categories and in high-growth emerging markets.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will use the proceeds from the transaction to invest in its pharmaceutical business.
The Health Food Drinks portfolio, which is centered in India and contains malted milk hot drink Horlicks and chocolate-flavoured malt-based food drink Boost, has been growing at a double-digit rate over the past 15 years. But Unilever says the category is still 'under-penetrated' in India and has the opportunity to grow.
Horlicks and Boost
In 2018, the GSK Health Food Drinks portfolio delivered a turnover of around €550m ($628m), primarily through the Horlicks and Boost brands. Almost 90% of this is in India.
The two key brands in the Health Food Drinks portfolio are malted drinks Horlicks and Boost. Horlicks, a malted milk hot drink, was introduced to India in the 1930s and has since become an 'everyday staple' in South Asian households. Boost is a malt-based food drink in chocolate flavour. The other brands covered by the deal are drinks Viva and Maltova.
The deal covers India, Bangladesh and 20 other markets: predominantly in Asia but also covering Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, the Maldives and the Middle East.
The transaction includes the all-equity merger of Hindustan Unilever Ltd with the publicly listed GSK Consumer Healthcare India; Unilever's acquisition of an 82% stake in GSK Bangladesh Limited; and acquisition of certain other commercial operations and assets outside India.
The turnover of Hindustan Unilever's Food & Refreshments business is set to exceed Rs 100bn ($1.42bn) once the transaction is complete; making it one of the largest Food & Refreshments businesses in India.
Nitin Paranjpe, President, Food & Refreshment, Unilever, said: "The iconic Horlicks brand has a deep heritage, credibility and resonance around the world. The acquisition is transformative for our Foods and Refreshment business allowing us to enter the Health Foods Drinks category, further strengthening our position in health and wellness.
"It is rare to be able to acquire brands with such leading market positions and fantastic consumer equity in one of the world's most exciting and fast-growing markets."
Sanjiv Mehta, chairman and CEO of Hindustan Unilever, added: "With this strategic merger of Hindustan Unilever and GSK Consumer Healthcare India Limited, we will be expanding our portfolio through great brands into a new category catering to the nutritional needs of our consumers.
"We look forward to welcoming new brands and great talent into the Unilever and Hindustan Unilever family."
The markets covered by the deal are: Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Nigeria, Mauritius, New Zealand, Kenya, Maldives, Botswana, Australia and Sri Lanka (in Sri Lanka this applies only to Horlicks brand rights and not commercial operations).
India is by far the most significant market, accounting for 90% of revenues.
In the UK Horlicks was sold to Aimia Foods, which is part of the Cott Corporation.
GSK: 'India remains an important market for GSK'
British pharmaceutical group GSK says India is still an important market and the company will concentrate on investing in its OTC and Oral Health brands, which include analgesic Crocin, antacid Eno and toothpaste Sensodyne.
Following completion of the transaction, Hindustan Unilever will distribute GSK's OTC and Oral Health brands (currently distributed by GSK India) for the following five years.
Emma Walmsley, CEO, GSK, said: "Horlicks has made a significant contribution to GSK and to the health of consumers across India for many decades and we believe Unilever is well placed to maximise its future potential.
"Proceeds from this transaction will be used to support the Group's strategic priorities, including investing in our pharmaceutical business."
Following completion of the transaction, GSK intends to sell down its holding in Hindustan Unilever. Such sell down will be in tranches and at such times as GSK considers appropriate, taking into account market conditions.
The transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals, is expected to complete in 12 months. The boards of GSK India and Hindustan Unilever have both approved the merger.
Shortly after announcing the Unilever deal, GSK said it will purchase US cancer specialist Tesaro for $5.1bn.
Horlicks
Horlicks was invented in 1873 by British-born brothers William and James Horlick, in Chicago. In 1883 it acquired its first patent for malted milk. The brand has a large following in the UK and Asia.
Horlicks was included in expedition rations to the North and South Poles in the early 20th century, valued as a light, non-perishable, high calorie food supplement. Antarctica's Horlick Mountains were named by American mountaineer Richard Byrd after the company sponsored his expedition to the tune of $30,000.
It was introduced to India in the 1930s by the British Army.
Horlicks' ingredients include wheat, malt barley, sugar, milk and 14 nutrients such as calcium and B vitamins. In India, the Horlicks portfolio includes Mother's Horlicks (designed to help nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women); Junior Horlicks (for children aged 2-6); Horlicks for Kids; Women's Horlicks, and Lite Horlicks (no added sugar).
Boost
Boost is a malt-based food drink in chocolate flavour which is popular in India. Launched in 1975, it is now the third biggest health food drink in India and enjoys a market share of 11.5%.
Boost has used celebrity endorsement to convey its energy proposition and differentiate itself from other brands, with cricket stars such as Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Virendar Sehwag, M S Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
In 2009 the brand launched its claim of 'increasing stamina by 3 times'. It has also expanded into other flavors and categories: with its enhanced chocolate Chocoeclairs flavour; Choconut nutty flavour, and a biscuit line Boost bites.

Still Playing Catch-Up: Women in the Philanthropic Sector
The Picture of Beauty after Trauma
Interview with Thomas Morgan – Part III: Living Your Passion
Interview with Thomas Morgan – Part II: Destiny vs. Choice
by Tonja Brown
Thomas Morgan is an award winning documentary filmmaker. He brings inspiring stories to screens around the world, yet his is own life and career journey are just as compelling. He sat down with Glass Ceiling for an introspective career interview. Thomas shares the multiple paths and life experiences that led to finding and eventually living his true passion.
Part III brings us to the end of our interview with Thomas Morgan. We have explored doubt and the role it played in his life and we looked back at moments that shaped his career change. In Part III we discuss the realities of his dream job.
Read Part I and Part II.
Thomas's most recent documentary "Soufra" is being shown at Film Festivals around the world including Cannes in May 2018.
This interview series is a reminder that our careers and lives are never linear. At Glass Ceiling, we strive to go beneath the surface of success – fueled by curiosity and without judgment – to uncover lessons and realities that can help inform your career.
How has your definition of success changed since starting a new career in the film industry?
For me, it was redefining what success was. It's not just the film or the economics of the film. It's what is the greater purpose? My films cost money. I have made no money. I haven't taken a salary. I've made no money on my first three films. Zero dollars.
What keeps investors coming back and wanting to get involved is not just the film. We built an orphanage in Nepal. They want to be associated with something that has deeper meaning or adds something to their lives. Which is something that most people don't get a chance to be a part of.
On the economics side, it's no less a struggle now than when I first started. It is what it is.
Have you ever had moments when you wished you had gone to film school?
I think sometimes those barriers get in your way. Maybe the fact that I didn't have access to film school and didn't know that you're supposed to raise all the money first, before you start the films. I didn't know that these were the rules that somebody else has made up. Maybe it's benefited me in a strange way.
I am sure you get asked a lot of questions about being a documentary filmmaker. What is your least favorite question to be asked?
What I do despise, quite frankly, is when I get the question "Do you think you'll ever make any real movies?" There's nothing more real than a documentary film. When you don't know what the outcome is…when you don't know what the answer is…when you don't know what's gonna happen and you have to make THAT into a story…
The script is a guideline by which you just follow. You can put your own flare into those guidelines, but still you're getting a set of directions that are already on a piece of paper.
We make this stuff without directions. So I have the utmost respect for anybody who makes a documentary film that's completely unscripted – from the time they start 'til the time they finish – because I know how hard it is.
What keeps you going when the economics of a film becomes an issue?
As a kid, I remember the most impactful film that I ever saw in my life was Rocky. There's a point in the original Rocky, where he's sitting in bed and he says out loud, "I can't win. I know I can't win." And Adrian's crying and he's like just sitting, clearly in a deep struggle. She says "Well what are you gonna do?" He says, "Finish." Then he says, "Okay, it's not gonna be pretty and I'm gonna probably get my teeth kicked in, but I'm gonna finish."
That for me is why I want to keep telling these stories.
I want to tell stories where it's doubtful whether Miriam (primary focus of the newly released "Soufra" documentary) was gonna make it or not. Whether she was gonna get to the food truck or not. Where it's doubtful these kids in Nepal, will make it. Kids who had their teeth kicked in their whole life, been beat up, pushed out, set aside and labeled as "those prison kids". Kids who are categorized as "the problem".
No, they are the opportunities. We have to tell these stories and get their voices out there.
When it comes to the financing of your films you've said, "somehow things always seem to work out". Do you have an example of a close call, when it appeared the economics wouldn't work out?
When I started Storied Streets, this gentleman had committed $50,000 to the film. We started filming. The crew had left LA and were gonna drive from LA to New York. I was supposed to put 'em up in hotels and pay for their gas, equipment rentals – everything. They got to Las Vegas, which is about four hours into the trip. I got a call saying that the gentleman who's supposed to give me the money couldn't give me the money!
I was told his wife had filed for divorce and I was probably gonna hear from her attorney to make sure that he hadn't given me the money. And I did. I did hear for her attorney, so I knew it was legitimate.
I didn't have any money. I'm paying out of my own pocket and put in credit cards just to get these kids across the country. As we got closer to NY, I ran out of money. Not to pay them, I was supposed to pay them at the end, but just to get them there.
So I had this Tag watch, which aside of a house and a car, was the most expensive thing I ever owned. My wife had given it to me for my 40th birthday and I asked someone to sell that watch. And he was like "Dude, you can't sell the watch." I'm like "No, I have to sell the watch, only way I'll get 'em in." So I sold the watch. That was a real turning point.
It was a turning point in what way?
That's when you know you're committed. Not only taking this chance, but also now you're really all in emotionally and financially. Then…I was standing in Panera Bread; I'll never forget it was in Charlotte, North Carolina. A guy I met maybe three or four times in my whole life, he's standing in there. He said, "Well, you look pretty stressed." I was like "Yeah, I'm stressed."
For whatever reason, he was the guy that I told the story of what happened. I hadn't told my wife. I hadn't told anybody. I kept it all in, just keeping the faith, hoping it's gonna work out. I was trying to get other people to invest and I think the more desperate you get, the more people don't want to get involved. It was just crazy. My first film and I had no track record of ever making anything, right? So I could totally see why they were hesitant. I had even called my investment bank friends "Hey, can you help us out with this?" Nobody wanted to touch it. They wanted to know what the "ROI was on their investment?" And I'm like nothing, it's gonna be nothing.
But this guy who'd I'd met, said "Well, just keep doing what you're doing. I think you're doing the right thing." I in a very calming voice said, "Oh, okay, thanks a lot." The next day, he wired $50,000 with a note that said, "I'd been saving this money but I wasn't sure what for. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing the right thing."
That's when it felt like, "Okay, well maybe this is meant to be. Maybe there's something to this."
That is pretty incredible. Was his gift enough to cover all of your production expenses for the documentary?
From there I was able to put some of the clips together. Then I was able to raise some more money so we could finish the film. The rest is history.
But there are those pivotal moments of despair. When people were like "Oh, once you made that decision, everything was easy." No, there have been a lot of moments where you're just questioning every decision that you've made. Wondering, "Can you continue" and "should I continue?" And "Isn't there an easier way?"
Yet you continue on and recently released the documentary Soufra. What inspired you to tell the story of an entrepreneurial woman and a food truck?
Like the Rocky, I want to tell stories of underdogs. I grew up in a very blue-collar town where nobody expected anything out of anybody. So failure's not that big of a deal because you're already so close to the ground. It's not like it's gonna hurt when you fall.
I always felt like an underdog. So those are the stories I want to tell. It just so happens that when you're gonna go in and make a film, you have to bet on that person. You're placing a financial bet on that person to finish. I will bet on a woman every single time. There's something about their instincts, their commitment to community, their commitment to their families, their commitment to other people. That is far greater than 99% of every man in the world.
Also I can feel it. I know this sounds so crazy, but you just can feel it. I've met other people who are doing amazing things, but I just think to myself, I'm sure you're amazing, but I can't… I don't feel it.
But it never enters my mind that I'm gonna do a story about a woman. It's always, I'm gonna do another story about this kind of person. It just turns out that over and over again, it happens to be women. I love being a voice for strong women. It's not rhetoric; it's me telling the stories of people I want to hold up in our society as pillars. People who we should emulate, people who we want our daughters and our sons to emulate. There's not a gender bias one-way or the other, these are just amazing people.
So I guess that's my path right now.
Thank you for sharing your path.

Home | Money | What kind of credits can I access with Inman?
In our family economy, there are many urgent needs that can arise and that make it convenient to resort to short or medium term financing. Repair or buy a vehicle, make some reform in our home or fix a breakdown are some of the most common expenses that may arise.
At Inman, we help you find an adequate, immediate and flexible solution so that your pocket does not suffer: request a quick loan.
Our credits are flexible so they can be adapted perfectly to your economic circumstances. Thus, you can expand, modify or cancel them quickly, easily and, above all, without leaving home.
Another outstanding feature of the Inman loans is our absolute transparency, which is based on trust and total sincerity. This is present in all communications with our customers, as well as in the perfect clarity of the contracts and conditions.
In addition, our entire credit system is designed to offer the greatest simplicity in all our efforts: application, extensions, cancellations, and modifications, prioritizing agility and immediacy.
How much money can be requested at Inman?
Our credits are designed to offer real and immediate solutions to everyday issues and of some urgency, as occasional incidentals or even certain whims that you do not want to deny yourself and your family.
Inman's offer of credits is focused on covering a section between 300 and 2500 euros. These amounts are so thought because we know that this range covers the expenses of the most common incidents that arise on a day-to-day basis. In the same way, we understand that smaller or larger quantities than those we have fixed require other types of solutions.
In what term can Inman credits be returned?
One of the main aspects that a loan must present is to offer a comfortable and flexible return system, that is, that the beneficiary can repay the loan without stress but, at the same time, not be tied for more time necessary.
Therefore, our credits offer a wide range of terms to your choice ranging from 3 to 24 months, so that you can accommodate the installments to real income without sacrificing the sacrifice of other things.
Our loans are based on trust and are granted without guarantees, so that knowledge about our clients and their trajectory are very important.
Therefore, in the first loan, the amount is limited to an amount of 800 euros that can be extended later. In addition, it is also possible to change the return conditions.
Once you have requested a loan with us, the possibilities of renewal and expansion of the requested capital are happening immediately.


Recently, I had an 84 year old client who, living alone, clearly needed some support in her life. Over the course of a year, changes occurred. Her car was dented in two places. ("Someone backed into me.") She paid her electric bill twice in one month. She forgot to take her blood pressure medication. She fell twice but, luckily, was not severely hurt. Her house was becoming difficult to manage. Her family did not live in the area and they were justifiably concerned. Her children said they could not sleep at night knowing their mother might be unsafe. They asked her if she would look at assisted living as one of the options.
• Have you had one or more falls recently? Hospitalizations?
• Do you manage your own bill paying without significant or frequent errors?
• Have you made some poor decisions with regard to your well-being, finances, etc?
• Do you drive? Would your grandchild be safe riding with you?
• Can you name all your medications, their dosages and describe what they are for?
These questions and others can have an impact on your admission into independent living or a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). Notice I said independent living, not assisted living. CCRC's require a medical and financial review. A nurse's assessment may conclude that you are safer in assisted living. In general, reputable senior communities do not want to take unnecessary risks with your care, but they also don't want to suppress your independence. The amount of care you receive is adjustable and you can be very independent.
No one wants to be dependent or deemed 'incapable', but senior communities have a responsibility to provide quality care and communities vary in their independent living admission criteria.


GeForce GTX 660 Ti to arrive on August 16?
FUD Zilla game across rumors that NVIDIA plans to release the GeForce GTX 660 Ti on August 16th.
According to that same post over at Sweclockers.com, the GTX 660 Ti GK104-300 GPU could end up to be pretty much identical to the GK104 GPU on the GTX 670 in terms of the CUDA core count, base and boost clocks and amount of memory. The only difference is actually the memory interface that went down from 256-bit on the GTX 670 to 192-bit on the GTX 660 Ti. To be precise, the GTX 660 Ti will feature 1344 CUDA cores, 915MHz base and 980MHz boost GPU clock, and 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6008MHz and paired up with a 192-bit memory interface.

Re: Cairo Museum
The rising sun in Egyptology
Forty years of Japanese excavations in Egypt
are illustrated in a special exhibition at the Egyptian Museum
Nevine El-Aref
reports for
July 30 2009 Issue
For the forthcoming couple of months the Egyptian Museum is hosting an exhibition of five dozen ancient Egyptian artefacts unearthed at three archaeological sites by the mission from Waseda University over the past 40 years.
These unique objects have never before been exhibited. They derive from Abusir, the site of 11 pyramids south of Giza; Dahshour, the site of King Senefru's pyramids; and Malkata on Luxor's west bank, where the grandfather of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Amenhotep III, dug a lake and built a palace for his beautiful and powerful wife, Queen Tiye.
Among the objects on show are fragments of Pharaoh Amenhotep III's faience bracelet; a stele showing Pharaoh Tuthmosis IV making an offering to Horus; a faience sistrum with the name of Pharaoh Amasis; a terracotta statue of a recumbent lion with the name of King Khufu; two faience rings bearing the names of Tutankhamun and his wife, Ankhesenamun; a gold Amarna ring with a carnelian wedjat eye; and the cartonnage mask of the Middle-Kingdom commander Senu. Foundation deposits; painted clay pots; ceramic ushabti boxes; wooden naked female statues; inscribed scarabs and jewellery are also exhibited.
Perhaps the most curious item on display is a limestone New Kingdom ostracon with enigmatic text markings similar to hieroglyphs and drawn in red and black, but not signifying any sentences. Parallels from the workmen's village at Deir Al-Medina suggest that these marks represented individual workmen, and the black and red dots were check marks. It is likely that this ostracon was used for recording the attendance of the workmen who built the royal tomb.
"This is a unique exhibition relating stories from the sand," Zahi Hawass, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) told Al-Ahram Weekly. He said the objects in "this wonderful exhibition" came from excavation carried out by Egyptologist Sakuji Yoshimura, who has worked in Egypt for many years and has dedicated his life to searching for the secrets of ancient Egypt. Among his magnificent discoveries is the rest house built by Ramses II's son prince Khaemwaset, who had an interest in restoring the monuments of his ancestors and so built a rest house on the top of a cliff at Abusir so he could view the pyramids of Abusir and Giza in the north and the pyramids of Saqqara and Dahshour in the south.
"Visiting this exhibition is not just an adventure through ancient Egypt, but an exploration of archaeology as well," Hawass said.
Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart what is true.
Wafaa El-Seddik, director-general of the Egyptian Museum, sees the exhibition as a celebration of Japan's distinguished activity in Egypt and of all the people who have worked within the framework of the partnership between Waseda, the SCA and the Egyptian Museum to bring the opportunity to view these examples of the art and culture of ancient Egypt.
The exhibition planners have arranged it as an open book of ancient Egyptian history, displaying artefacts from the Paleolithic era right through the Late Roman Period.
"The pieces exhibited are a portion of the special exhibition now touring Japan to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Waseda University Egyptian expedition," Yoshimura said. Since its first opening in 2006 the exhibition in Japan has attracted 1,300,000 visitors, which reflects a growing Japanese interesting in the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
Over these four decades, Yoshimura said, the Japanese missions in Malkata, Dahshour and elsewhere had made a number of important discoveries despite being told in 1966 that they were having beginners' luck. Ten years later, Yoshimura introduced a method that applied modern technology to archaeology. This was the use of geophysical sensing instruments to resolve Earth's physical elements, and there are dozens of ways of doing it. "We used five of the methods and actually tried and tested them in Egypt," Yoshimura said. They found the electromagnetic wave method was particularly useful and its results helped the team achieve recognition. Yoshimura went on to explain: "The area we excavated at Abusir, for example, was found by an underground radar system using the electromagnetic wave method. Dahshour north was also another field where we implemented this new method, which revealed the first subterranean archaeological remains found by analysis of satellite images. This was implemented in collaboration with Tokai University."
Electromagnetic ground radar also found the pit of Khufu's second solar boat on the Giza Plateau. However, work in the Valley of the Kings was suspended before the underground radar system could fully prove its capability in the survey owing to restoration being carried out at the tomb of Amenhotep III.
"We hope to keep contributing to the progress of modern technology by continuing excavation and restoration," Yoshimura said.
RESEARCH PROJECTS IN EGYPT
MALKATA SOUTH:
In the area of Malkata South the Japanese mission aimed to excavate the remains of a Predynastic culture, but during excavation work they uncovered an extensive stratum of Roman settlement. Three years later the mission discovered a staircase painted with the images of foreign captives at Kom Al-Samak, which is located 240 metres north of the temple of Isis.
Excavations revealed thousands of fragments of mural paintings that once decorated the walls of a building. On the basis of stamped mud bricks from the building, the team concluded that it has been built for Pharaoh Amenhotep III's Sed festival. During the re-examination of the building's architecture and the mural paintings at Amenhotep III's palace at Malkata, numerous fragments of painted walls and ceiling were uncovered. One of the most remarkable motifs was a succession of great vulture figures of the goddess Nekhber spreading her wings under which are depicted the various names and titles of the Pharaoh.
THE THEBEN NECROPOLIS:
The Japanese team has discovered hundreds of mummies and human bones in the tombs at Sheikh Abdel-Qurna. Studies have revealed that these mummies seem to have been collected by tomb robbers from burials in the vicinity in order to strip them of their belongings.
During excavation at Draa Abul-Naga, the team uncovered several unregistered tombs including two lost tombs; A21 and A23, which were previously identified but whose location was afterwards forgotten. Excavations also yielded a variety of isolated objects including funerary cones and ushabti figurines.
During the clearance work at the tomb of Amenhotep III the team discovered an intact foundation deposit (votive items buried before construction) for the tomb, as well as royal funerary equipment and an ostraca.
Restoration works also carried out at the tomb by the Japanese team with a suitable fund from Japan Funds in Trust through UNESCO made a difference in the appearance of the tomb's wall paintings as well as its stability.
THE ABUSIR NECROPOLIS:
At the monument of Prince Khaemqaset, the fourth son of Pharaoh Ramses II, the team found two fragmental blocks of a red granite false-door depicting a seated figure. A number of limestone blocks with elaborate reliefs were also unearthed. On the northwest side of the monument the team found a mud-brick structure with some of its blocks stamped with the cartouches of Amenhotep II and Tuthmosis IV. More than 10 stelae of Tuthmosis IV were also unearthed. Yoshimura suggests that although the nature of this building is still unclear, the presence of stelae and bricks related to these Pharaohs suggests that it had royal connections of some kind.
Excavations at the southeastern slope of the outcrop uncovered a rock-cut chamber and a layered stone structure and its substructure. Inside the chamber the team unearthed a number of statue fragments made of clay, terracotta and wood, as well as pottery vessels. Two of the terracotta statues bore the name of the Fourth-Dynasty King Khufu.
Excavations at the southeastern slope revealed a massive layered stone structure probably built about the time of the Third Dynasty and a shaft leading respectively to two chambers to the east and west. In the east chamber a number of votive objects dating from the early dynastic period and early Old Kingdom were found. The chamber seems to have been reused in the Middle Kingdom, since objects from that period were uncovered in the same chamber while another entrance and its forecourt appear to have been dug from the south at the same period.
THE DAHSHOUR NECROPOLIS:
In collaboration with Tokai University, the Waseda team identified a new site in north Dahshour through computer analysis of satellite imaging data. In a New Kingdom necropolis at the low mound two kilometres north of King Senefru's red pyramid, a large, free-standing tomb-chapel comparable in size to the Horemhab's at Saqqara was discovered. Some stamped mud bricks suggest that the tomb-chapel was built for Ipay, a royal butler and scribe. Excavations of the subterranean chambers yielded a number of fine funerary objects including faience rings with the names of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun, and two scarabs bearing the name of Ramses II. The most remarkable find was a granite sarcophagus in the innermost chamber. The inscriptions on the sarcophagus and jar dockets suggest that its owner was Mes, royal scribe and steward during the reign of Ramses II.

Illuminati is gaining a lot of attention with time and is being effectively viral on the Internet. Many cases of scams are coming forth in the name of Illuminati. In fact, many fraudsters are introducing themselves as Illuminati or a part of it and asking for money to join the society. And how foolish we are that we are depositing the worthy money without any investigation. However, if you are not aware of the term Illuminati, you must be wondering what the matter is! Thus, let me first introduce you to Illuminati — who are they and what do they control?.
According to the myths, it was believed that during the 17th century (1776) a secret society emerged in Bavaria who opposed the manipulated Bible laws that were forced to follow by the Catholic priest. Basically, these laws were meant to serve the self-needs of the Catholics and aristocrats of the era. They were considered evil and were punished or abandoned by the high ruling classes. They oppose superstitions obscurantism and modified orthodox religious laws and beliefs. They aimed to put an end to the atrocities of the prevailing during that time. The organization was comprised of Freemasons and various other secret societies. They were also outlawed through an edict by Charles Theodore who was a Bavarian ruler. They were considered as the cause of the French Revolution. It is said that the founder of this secret society was Adam Weishaupt. Adam Weishaupt was the only non – clerical Canon law and Practical philosophy at the University of Ingolstadt. This University was run by the Jesuits.
On the other hand, some are of the opinion that this Illuminati practices evil means of worshipping. According to some Internet users, it is known that these Illuminati claim that if you want to be highly successful, you must surrender your soul to the devil God. They refuse the presence of Jesus Christ and the laws of the Holy Bible. For being a member of the Illuminati, you have to deposit a considerable amount of money. This can be done online.
It is also assumed that they have intense knowledge of geometric. All their symbols and architectures were designed in an exquisitely beautiful geometrical shape.
Many news has been aired for the concept of Illuminati that the organization is controlling the world via media, pharma, medical, finance sectors. Many leaders, high priests (guru and pujari), rock stars, pop stars, celebrities, gangsters, are under the influence of the Illuminati. In fact, there prevails a concept that indicates that they are also behind many notorious conspiracies occurred on the earth. If explained in short, it could be said that they want to control the human mind and soul to increase their population.
Well! That's all for today? Do let us know what do you think about Illuminati? Could you believe that there is something supernatural about it or it's just an enlightened group? Don't you think it is becoming a source of income for the virtual fraudsters? It's quite an interesting topic to discuss. Do throw your views on what do you think about this matter— "Illuminati —a fact or fiction".

Ancestral sequences

Ancestral sequences are inferred from the EPO multiple alignments using Ortheus. Ortheus is a probabilistic method for the inference of ancestor, a.k.a tree, alignments. The main contribution of Ortheus is the use of a phylogenetic model incorporating gaps to infer insertion and deletion events. Ancestral sequences are predicted for each node of the phylogenetic tree that relates the sequences. Each ancestral sequence is named according to the derived extant species. For example, a sequence named Hsap, Ptro, Mmul corresponds to the ancestor of the Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, and Macaca mulatta genomes.

San Diego County plans to offer COVID-19 vaccine to people 65 years and older
When county sites begin vaccinating San Diegans 65 years and older, the public will be informed in a number of ways, including on coronavirus-sd.com.
Author: County News Center

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif — Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that people 65 years of age and older are the next priority group for COVID-19 vaccination, and the County is planning to make the vaccine available to them as soon as possible.
The region is currently vaccinating the 620,000 health care professionals and other priority groups in Phase 1A. Vaccinations to the more than 600,000 people in Phase 1B will begin to be available later this month, provided there are COVID-19 vaccination doses available.
However, some San Diegans in this age group might be able to get vaccinated if their health care providers have doses available. The County has asked local providers to give priority to people 65 and older with underlying medical conditions.
"It would be ideal if we could vaccinate everyone who wants to be immunized at the moment, but unfortunately we don't have enough COVID-19 vaccine to do so," said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. "We understand people are anxious to get vaccinated and they will get to do it when more vaccine arrives in the region."
The region is expecting the arrival of more COVID-19 vaccine doses, but a figure and a date have not been released by the California Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Starting in February, the County will begin to open three more vaccination super stations in other parts of the region.

Chances are that your workplace has many "communal" spaces that are designed for all employees to use. And, while having such spaces is a good way to keep your workers happy, keeping them clean throughout the day can be tough. Even people who keep their homes spotlessly clean tend to be guilty of not wiping up spills, leaving behind a dirty microwave, and leaving other messiness at work. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to encourage your workers to be cleaner; do keep in mind, though, that you'll also want to hire a professional cleaning service to really deep clean those messes at night so that you don't end up with a bug infestation or other problems.
Cleaning your tile and grout lines is absolutely essential if you want to maintain the original color and feel of tile. While you might frequently clean your floor with household surface cleaners and vacuuming, you will eventually need to clean it with special tile cleaning solutions. These solutions are very effective and easy to use. They are also helpful with cleaning and sealing the grout lines. This article explains how to clean and seal the tile floor and the grout lines.
You may or may not know exactly how dirty your carpet is or how it affects your health. Carpeting can be more aesthetically pleasing and warmer than other types of flooring, but it can also hold more dirt, bacteria, and other debris than other types of flooring. This is why it's extremely important to keep your carpets clean. In fact, there are a lot of health benefits to keeping your carpets clean.
If your kitchen has tile floors, you should already know just how easy it can be to clean each day. While it may only take a few minutes to do some basic sweeping, the tile may still be dirty when you wipe a white paper towel on the floors. If you want to give your tile floors a deep clean or simply want to do more to keep the flooring cleaner on a regular basis, consider some of the following tricks you can add to your daily cleaning.
If you are worried about illnesses around the office and you want to keep your staff healthy, there are some important cleaning habits you need to practice. If you have a cleaning company come but they don't come frequently enough or they don't do a great job, it's time to find another janitorial service (such as Elk Grove House Cleaning Referral Agency) for your commercial space. There are a few things to ask about that may not be on the basic list of options they offer when they give you a quote for your space.

So I've been keeping quiet about a development since March, because I didn't want to jinx it, but I got an important e-mail today that made it clear to me that ship has sailed, unfortunately. Back in May I queried a handful of agents for [TEE], which I wrote about here. What I didn't write was that I got a request for a full from an agent the same day (about thirty minutes before midnight).
Queried five literary agents for [TEE] yesterday. I'm hopeful, but I'm trying not to get too excited. Cautiously optimistic is the word, I guess.
Today I queried 6 agents for [TEE], after putting off continuing to query for too damn long. It took a couple of hours (I'm all about the checking of attachments, double-checking, triple-checking, freaking out, because OMG you didn't add page numbering, YOU IDIOT!), but I feel good about it.
A couple of days ago I sent out my second batch of queries to literary agents in the UK for [TEE]. The total number of queries I've sent out is now 20.
In addition to the 10 queries I'd sent out in the first batch, I also sent out an extra one for [TEE]. Right now I've received 9 rejections in total. Big bummer, as you can imagine.

The pilot will be written and directed by McBride, who'll also serve as an executive producer along with his Eastbound & Down/Vice Principals collaborators Jody Hill and David Gordon Green.

Recently I created a Pecha Kucha presentation with the purpose to promote knowledge and respect for diversity and traditions of different cultures. One comment I received was to consider creating the presentation in Spanish and adding subtitles in English to provide a strong sense of cultural heritage and identity. The nature of the assignment didn't let me post my presentation in Spanish, but the suggestion lead me to search for articles regarding inclusion of subtitles or close captioning in educational videos.
I found this interesting article http://www.zaneeducation.com/video-subtitles-captions/the-missing-piece.php that had research findings about the benefits of using close captioning or subtitles in educational videos to improve students' Reading and Literacy Skills. This has important implications in the field of learning a second language. With the popularity of incorporating videos as instructional materials, teachers have the opportunity to provide engaging activities to learn curriculum material and improve communicational skills simultaneously. The subtitles help comprehension when the same language is being used in the close captioning and also when provided with subtitles that are adequately translated from the original language to the student's native language.
As a second language learner I experienced the benefits of watching videos, tv shows, karaoke music, audio-books, music videos, and online presentation when they were provided as close captioning or subtitles simultaneously. I improved my understanding and my communication skills and used close captioning or subtitles constantly. My attention was maintained for more time and my processing was more accurate. As a professional with interest in bilingual education I have the instructional goal to develop visual material which will include close caption on a regular basis to enhance opportunities to learn and remember better the content of the educational material I will create.


Sarah Jamison, who I met at SPE in Dallas (her personal work has been noted in this blog before), wrote me to let me know about some updates over at the Texas Tech University's School of Art's SRO Gallery.
In case you're not acquainted, the Standing Room Only Photography Gallery (SRO for short) has been featuring solo shows from emerging artists for some time.
They've also got a blog up publishing interviews and features on the work of some very interesting artists.
Sarah tells me they are always looking for new work, and that they've got a particular call for entries ending March 17th. They are looking for eight solo shows during the 2010-2011 academic year.
Since there is no entry fee, you have absolutely no excuse to not send some work over.
If you do get in – let me know too! I'll make a post about your show when it goes up. Good luck!
Flip Through Blowing Fog: All Images Blatantly Stolen! Submit for Issue 2, Blatantly Curated!
I wanted to share the first issue of Blowing Fog with someone, which motivated me to finally get it online. On short notice, I did an export to SWF through indesign and I was surprisingly ok with it. I still wish it looked more like the physical copy, but for a quick fix it's pretty good. So I whipped up the rest of the page and a little text about submissions for the second issue.
It's not the most elegant code I've ever hobbled together, so let me know it's absolutely breaking down for any of you. Once I'm happy with it, I'll add it to the site nav.
And, more importantly, start sending me those shots for issue 2: All Images Blatantly Curated!
I've mentioned it before, but the subject is behind the scenes on fashion shoots. I know a lot of you have assisted or even shoot fashion and I'm sure you've got some embarrassing outtakes somewhere. I need them. I want them. Even better: guerrilla documentary. Or career ruining Polaroids (ideally your own career. You don't want to work in that industry anyway).
All images in this issue will be credited (name and link), unless otherwise requested. The links in the online file will be live. This last issue, the photographers were not intentionally in on the joke, so crediting seemed almost cruel, but this time it's about laughing together and featuring some good shots that would never get published otherwise.
Submissions through email are easiest, but if you have to mail me a print, send me a note and I'll let you know my address.
The issue won't be out until I get enough work to deem it done. I don't set deadlines for these things. This means, if you want to see it, encourage people to send in images and/or send in images yourself. I'll be out looking at portfolio reviews, personal connections, etc as well – but random connections on the internet are a primary source for this tomfoolery.
Everyone included will get a copy of the zine file at print resolution. I may be working with a graphic designer on this one, but we'll see if we want to get that complicated. I sort of like the slapped together feel of the first issue and at the rate it sold out, it seemed everyone else did too.
Based on the last issue, the first printing probably won't make it past the initial Savannah opening and one round of blog sale, so if there is demand, I will upload both issues to magcloud or something. We'll jump that fence when we get to it.
The listing has the project up until October 31st at www.michaelmazzeo.com, complete with links for catalog and print sales.
I just noticed that David Field, fellow SCAD grad and NYC pal of mine, is currently in the running over at the HassyNYC contest. Along with the other two finalists, he's going to be creating images and meeting challenges as part of some giant promo-fest for Hasselblad's new camera.
I'm not really worried about the camera (any of those top manufacturers make amazing products, these days) but I am rooting for David. As far as excellence in the field (haha) of commercial photography goes, he blows those guys (and many many well known shooters) out of the water. He's a non-stop, constantly working, photo making machine. If anyone can survive in the jungle of NYC, it's this guy.
So, while the HassyNYC site still seems to be under construction – some of the links don't work at all – it's pretty easy to head on over to David's attached flickr or twitter sites and follow him while he goes through the competition rigmarole. You guys know how I feel about twitter in general, but until he gets a real blog, we'll have to settle for this.
And hopefully once he's found his feet doing all this commercial work, I'll finally get to see more of the editorial and fine art projects he's been talking about for years. Miss the weird stuff, David. Make sure to send me an email once you're back to shooting grizzled old men.
The following are six pieces from Emily Metzguer's upcoming show, Still Moving. The opening is tomorrow night (the 30th) at Desoto Row in Savannah, GA. You should really try and make it – I had the honor of seeing this project in its early stages while I was finishing up my degree at SCAD, and it really is best in person.
However, I know many of you are not local to the south eastern USA, so I'm attempting to do something new here – lets see if embedding this content directly works. After the work, there's the artist statement. It's simple, and it's not new – but it's work that works. It's relevant. I'm a big fan.
These really should be looping, but I've already had to wade through too much code for one night just to get them up there. Check out more on her site.
Advances in technology have changed the ways we share information. I don't believe that still imagery will ever become obsolete, however the power that a singular frame commands has diminished greatly over the past decade. The sheer volume of imagery streaming from media, entertainment, and interactive industries has hindered our ability to be captivated by what we see. I just want people to be still with an image; therefore I had to make it move.
For those of you viewing this on the feed or at livejournal, you'll probably have to hit up the original post to see the content. I'm not sure how it will feed out.
You Guys! I need to see Escape From Atlantis!
I can't find it anywhere! Did any of you tape it to a vhs?
Wait, I don't have a VHS.
A few of my favorite images from Benford's google maps roadtrip.
Read words with Benford about his images here at The Photo Coterie and here at Mossless.
I'm trying to set up a wordpress that I can use with a tumblr style reblog capability, basically just skinning my google reader shared items to match the rest of the site.
It seems like it might be working, though it is pretty slow to catch updates to the google reader feed, and I'm not sure if it will always post out of order or if it is only doing that because I imported in bulk from earlier.
My other concern is that articles are posting full text and I can't figure out any way to truncate them automatically after the first couple lines, and then send back to the source page. I don't want to steal any traffic from the original posters – my intention is to <i>send</i> them traffic. If anyone knows how I can set it up to best do this, let me know.
In the meantime, I've made sure the title links back to the original post, and added in a full text "via" link under each post title.
The goal here is to make it really easy for me to share fun and interesting stuff (one click) while still giving full credit where it's due.
Just found it as I was finishing up this post. Will check it out tomorrow – must sleep now, I'm already on a weird sick day schedule cause of this darn cold.
Michelle Collins emailed me about a grant she started last year for photography students. As her personal way of giving back, the In Focus Photography Grant is a free to apply, cash grant open to any student or recent graduate in Canada or the USA.
