What Abstract Art Means to Me, 1951

Exceeding the confines of a vast canvas through its spectacular assault of unrestrained expression, Untitled V of 1975 encapsulates the full force of Willem de Kooning's abstract vernacular. Through each visceral swathe, smear, drip and blow, the artist here asserts his total mastery of this medium. Indeed, the means of execution remain so compelling, so thoroughly captivating, that Untitled V stands as nothing less than the inescapable and irresistible culmination of the artist's output. Executed in the year that de Kooning sensationally immersed himself in painting after a long absence, this work belongs to an explosive outpouring of creativity that produced an illustrious corpus of large-scale, color-saturated canvases that rank among the finest achievements of his prodigious career. Of this group, all produced in just six months, the present work is truly exceptional for the sheer force of its painterly conviction, the staggering variety of its luscious brushstrokes, emphatic mark-making and violent flecks of paint, all conveyed in the brilliant primary hues of an utterly seductive palette. While jagged cascades of serene blues fuse with cool fluid whites, searing reds and yellows surge across the surface to ignite the entire composition. Formerly an artist who famously scrutinized and reworked his canvases extensively, the confidence of the rapidly generated composition imbues Untitled V with an urgency that is still as affecting today as when it was first exhibited in New York almost forty years ago. This work has been held in the same private collection since 1989 and this occasion marks its first public appearance in over a third of a century.
In the autumn of 1975 de Kooning held a major exhibition of new paintings with his dealer, Xavier Fourcade. Untitled V was a highlight of this show which heralded this dramatically passionate new period of the artist's oeuvre. As Dore Ashton described in a review of the show at the time, "De Kooning's recent paintings at the Fourcade Gallery absolutely required sustained attention. There could be no quick perception, no general impression that could cover the wealth of experience reflected... While de Kooning has for a long time managed to combine the near and the far in synopsis, in these new paintings the articulation is emphatic. He establishes his distance - both from his particular moment in time and from any general audience - and he maintains the singularity of intimate detail. In short, he offers a distinct, a unique realm in which imagination prevails." (Dore Ashton, "75/76 New York," Colóquio: Artes, no. 29, October, p. 14) Later describing this exact period, in 1981 de Kooning recalled "I couldn't miss. It's a nice feeling. It's strange. It's like a man at a gambling table [who] feels that he can't lose. But when he walks away with all the dough, he knows he can't do that again. Because then it gets all self-conscious. I wasn't self-conscious. I just did it." (the artist cited in Judith Wolfe, "Glimpses of a Master," in Exh. Cat., East Hampton, Guild Hall Museum, Willem de Kooning: Works from 1951-1981, 1981, p. 15)
De Kooning created this magisterial work in the epic oceanic environment of his beloved Long Island, and while it remains determinedly and resolutely without figural content, it nevertheless communes an essence and memories of contextual experience. He began spending summers in East Hampton in 1959 and even then frequently considered giving up his Broadway loft entirely, following the lead of his contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko who had already escaped the urban commotion of Manhattan in favor of the countryside. By summer 1961, de Kooning had purchased a small house in Springs, East Hampton and the following winter, found property nearby that was perfect for a studio. In 1963 he had moved entirely out of New York and immersed himself in the light-filled, calming atmosphere and coastal landscape that so closely evoked memories of his native Holland. The ocean became a part of his daily regime and de Kooning was captivated by the spectacular light of the long beaches and its effect on the reflections on the water. As he related in a 1972 interview with Harold Rosenberg, his play with light and colors are almost inexpressible: "Indescribable tones, almost. I started working with them and insisted that they would give me the kind of light I wanted. One was lighting up the grass. That became that kind of green. One was lighting up the water. That became grey...I got into painting in the atmosphere I wanted to be in. It was like the reflection of light. I reflected upon the reflections on the water, like the fishermen do." (reprinted in Exh. Cat., Basel, Kunstmuseum Basel, De Kooning Paintings, 1960-1980, 2005, p. 152)
From 1969 de Kooning devoted himself primarily to sculpture, producing clay and bronze figures in his first foray into three-dimensional art. The tactile quality of sculpting was wholly sympathetic with de Kooning's sensuous approach to oil paint, as eloquently acknowledged in his famous 1950 quote, "Flesh was the reason oil painting was invented." Within both mediums, de Kooning pressed the antithetical dialogue between improvisation and control, resulting in a gestural tension that animated his surface to the extreme. When sculpting, de Kooning often closed his eyes while working with clay, allowing touch and not sight to dictate the form. In similar fashion, the physical immediacy of Untitled V appears virtually to project off the picture plane and comprises a remarkably sculptural landscape of paint material. From 1975 de Kooning surrounded himself with his canvases, each inspiring him to paint another and informing all with the same sense of water, light and sky. Thick, lustrous paint flowed from his brushes, layering color upon color, as forms emerged and submerged in the textural paint surface.
Indeed, the paintings of the mid 1970s, as perfectly epitomized by the present work, represent the most direct references to liquidity and flow in the artist's oeuvre. Here de Kooning forges a variety of planes of paint to coalesce in and out of each other across the canvas. While the impastoed surface is a signature characteristic of de Kooning's work of the 1950s, one of the revelations of de Kooning's later work, as in Untitled V, is the utter sophistication and variety of his paint handling. Focusing his energy on the quality of paint application and the texture of his surface, de Kooning thinned his oil paint with water, adding kerosene, benzene or safflower oil as binding agents. Using unorthodox methods of applying and removing paint with spatulas and knives, de Kooning defined his composition through gesture, energy and movement. While the expansive bursts of drips and paint flecks through the central section of Untitled V immediately evoke the method of Pollock, the quieter passages, created by scraping and smearing across fields of varying color pigment, foreshadow the beauty of Gerhard Richter's smeared Abstraktes Bild of the 1980s.
De Kooning's sense of line is of course critical to his entire aesthetic identity, and even during the period when he worked primarily on sculptures from 1969 to 1975, he continued to draw prolifically. But with his return to the plastic form of paint, de Kooning's line is subsumed, as his strokes broaden and flatten. In place of line, both color and light serve as the organizing principles in this abstraction, reflecting his bright and open environment. De Kooning was always an outstanding colorist, whether using a palette of black and white in the abstractions of the early 1940s or the pastel hues and acidic, jarring tones of his Women paintings and Urban Landscapes of the 1950s. But with his move to Long Island, de Kooning responded intimately not only to his oceanic surroundings, but to the elements of light and air. This newfound freedom of form, space and color was aptly described by Bernhard Mendews Burgi in the 2005-2006 exhibition of de Kooning's later decades at the Kunstmuseum in Basel: "the accumulation of sensations between earth and light and water and sky, distilled and detached from anecdotal experience, exploded in a rush of painting. What already applied to the abstract landscapes of the late 1950s and early 1960s became even more conspicuous in the series created between 1975 and 1980... They are not abstractions of the experience of nature; they are abstract in following an uncurbed energy principle without beginning and end, allowing things to emerge, to rise to the surface in analogy to nature... Everything seems to be floating, flying, lying and falling in these paintings, their energy heightened by a pulsating rhythm." (Ibid., pp. 24-26) In shimmering light, forms dissolve and reform in a manner deeply akin to de Kooning's sense of abstraction. With this vibrancy of palette, coupled with the genius of paint handling and sure command of composition and form, Untitled V heralds the emergence of de Kooning as a wholly revitalized artist as he entered his seventh decade.

NAME: Guadalajara
COUNTY: Lander
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime. COMMENTS: Interesting country.
REMAINS: Private Property.
Silver deposits were discovered in March of 1863. By summer, 3,000 mining claims had been staked in the Santa Fe district. A city site was platted and the rush was on. While close to twenty mining companies were active in the area, only a few turned a profit. By summer of 1864, Guadalajara had reached its peak. About 150 people lived in the town and the usual assortment of businesses were there. However, it was not long before the ore ran out and most of the mines closed. By 1870, only 50 residents were left and two years later only two mines were being worked. By 1890, Guadalajara had joined the ghosts. Today, the site is one of the most intriguing in Lander County. This is a fascinating ghost town, but since it is on private property, permission is required before venturing in.

I've mentioned a bunch of times on my blog that I love to learn about people, their life & their personality. Call it nosiness if you may but I'm incredibly interested in people & what makes each of us different. That is why I have been absolutely loving the '5 random facts tag' that's been happening on Instagram recently. If you haven't seen this yet (I'm not sure where you've been!?) but it's essentially where you post 5 random facts that people may not know about you on your Instagram stories & then tag others to do the same. Simple right?
It was this trend that inspired me to continue this trend & to give you a more in-depth look into what makes me unique by giving you 20 random facts about me that you may not know!
I was born without a thyroid. Crazy right? Thyroids are pretty damn important things & for whatever reason my body decided it wouldn't make one. It happens to only 1 in every 40,000 babies born in the UK so it makes me pretty unique.
I pride myself on my ability to eat a sh*t tonne of food in one sitting. For someone so slim, I can pack it away.
I am addicted to crisps. I can eat a share bag of crisps in one sitting without any problem at all. I don't know why they even bother to call them share bags! They are my kryptonite.
I have lived in 3 different countries. I was born in the Northern Ireland then I moved to Scotland at the age of 18 to study. I now currently live in South Africa & have done for a year & a half.
I don't really like children who aren't family. (I feel like such a bad person even saying that!) I do want kids of my own someday but I'm just not in any rush to have them because I know how demanding they can be & how much my life will change once I have them.
When I was at school I really wanted to go on to study psychology so that I could become a criminal psychologist but my careers teacher talked me out of it. Part of me wishes that reincarnation really does exist so I can follow that career path in my next life. Shame on my old careers teacher for talking young, impressionable people out of their career choice.
I am a feminist. I know that people tend to flinch when they hear that word nowadays because of the negative connotations but I am proud to be a woman & I will continue to do my part to fight the fight for equality.
I am someone of two extremes. I'm so relaxed in my every day life & not much worries me yet I'm such a wimp & I'm scared to do a lot of things. I know how confusing that sounds!
I hate tomatoes yet I love tomato ketchup & pasta dishes with tomato based sauces. To me they taste totally different!
I'm made up of 80% leg. I'm 5 ft 8 & yet I wear a 34″ inside leg jean. My dad is 6 ft tall & wears the same length of jeans as me! It makes jeans/trouser shopping really quite difficult sometimes.
I'm both an introvert & an extrovert. I'm very outgoing & chatty & make friends easily but I also really enjoy time by myself & I feel exhausted if I'm around lots of people for long periods of time. Typical qualities of both personality types.
I am a Harry Potter nerd. I grew up watching it & reading the books & I'm pretty sure I know most of the lines in every movie. I'm dying to go to the Harry Potter Studios in London.
I can't cook much but I can make a damn good lasagna & I can also bake pretty well. My brownies are what I'm known for.
I grew up with most people thinking I had some form of eating disorder (even though I ate like a tank) & being really nasty towards me because I was always naturally so tiny. I never did have an eating disorder & I never wanted to be so small. It still affects my self-confidence even now but thankfully I'm okay with it most of the time.
I love animals so much that I can't watch animal movies/documentaries because I couldn't handle seeing an animal left alone or hurt. Animals are such a gift so it breaks my heart seeing them alone or hurt.
I've had the same best friend since I was 4. That's a friendship of 21 years & by today's standards that longer than most marriages!
I really hope that you all found this post interesting & that it's helped you to get to know me a little better & also that it didn't put you to sleep!
Aww I love this! Babies are definitely hard work and I'm the same with tomatoes! Hate them on their own but in anything they're fine!
I'm so glad that someone feels the same about tomato's. I always thought I was strange!
It's so nice to hear that someone else feels this way – I always feel like such a bad person when I say it out loud. And die-hard children lovers look at me with such a horrified expression!
Loved this post! Basically the same on 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 14. Although I was driving when I flipped my car, it was terrible, only once luckily. I was pressing the brakes even though my wheels were in the air to stop it from skidding .
I have the same tomato issue!! How scary being in two car crashes as well…!!
I love the idea of a post like this.
It's always nice to get to know more about the person behind the blog.
I am the same about tomatoes – I like tomato flavored stuff, but not the actual things!

2016 Candidates Slam Common Core, But Education Standards Take Root
Despite years of effort, Common Core's critics have largely failed to repeal the standards.
09/10/2015 08:45am EDT
WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - On the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidates vow to roll back new U.S. education standards known as the Common Core.
In the classroom, the multi-state guidelines increasingly look like they're here to stay.
Since they were adopted by 46 states five years ago, the Common Core standards have become a symbol of Big Government overreach for conservatives.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz, a White House contender, has promised to "repeal every word of Common Core." Rivals Bobby Jindal and Chris Christie, both governors who previously backed the standards, now condemn them. Of 17 Republican candidates, only Jeb Bush and John Kasich are Common Core defenders.
Yet despite years of effort, Common Core's critics have largely failed to repeal the standards, which aim to emphasize critical thinking over rote memorization.
In some states, education officials have been reluctant to wipe the slate clean after spending millions of dollars to train teachers and develop new course work. Teachers have also become vocal Common Core backers, lobbying parents and politicians to keep the new system in place. And any Republican president would find it difficult to abolish a system that has mostly been implemented by states.
Two states that have rolled back the standards have replaced them with nearly identical guidelines, while nine states that are reviewing them are likewise expected to leave them largely intact.
"In most places, the political battle has been won by the defenders of the Common Core," said backer Michael Petri, president of the conservative Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
Conservative activists, meanwhile, are frustrated that they haven't had more success.
"I would give up my right pinky if any of these states come up with standards that are substantially different from Common Core," said Erin Tuttle, an Indiana homemaker who worked to repeal the guidelines only to see state officials replace them with a similar set of standards.
At the center of the controversy is a long-standing tension within U.S. education.
Business leaders say U.S. schools must become more consistent and rigorous in order to turn out graduates who can help the country compete in the global economy.
International tests often show that U.S. students lag their peers in other industrialized countries. In one 2012 math test, they ranked 27th among the 34 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Meanwhile, some parents worry that distant government and corporate interests are hijacking schools, which in the United States historically have been controlled at the local level.
Although Common Core was developed by Republican and Democratic governors and state education officials, President Barack Obama also played a significant role by encouraging states to adopt it through a $4.4 billion grant program in 2009.
Common Core also has been caught up in a backlash against standardized testing, which critics say stifles creativity and eat up too much classroom time. These complaints predate Common Core by more than a decade, but they have been intensified as schools have revamped their tests to reflect the new standards.
Half of all high school students in some districts in Washington state and Long Island, New York boycotted Common Core-linked standardized tests earlier this year.
In the coming school year, nine states will abandon tests that were developed to accompany Common Core in favor of their own assessments. Experts say that will make it more difficult to compare results across state lines.
But even as the tests change, the standards are becoming deeply embedded in the nation's schools as teachers incorporate them into their lesson plans.
"This is the best shift in education I've seen since I started teaching 25 years ago," said Debra Troxell, a high-school geography teacher in Forsyth County, North Carolina.
The Common Core standards spell out what students should know at the end of the school year, but leave implementation to teachers and local officials. For instance, sixth graders are expected to understand statistical concepts, while high schoolers are expected to write essays advancing an argument.
Business groups and other backers say the standards better prepare high school graduates for the workforce. Teachers' unions back the standards as well, though they oppose linking test results to teachers' pay.
The standards have a powerful advocate in Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates, who has spent more than $200 million to promote them.
But the standards have baffled some parents who struggled to understand their children's homework, building on concerns about too much testing and lack of local control.
South Carolina repealed Common Core in 2014. But officials there have since adopted new standards that are 90 percent similar, according to a state oversight committee. Indiana's new standards also largely mirror Common Core.
Oklahoma has reverted to its pre-Common Core standards while officials develop a replacement. Eight other states are reexamining the standards, but there is little expectation of a major departure in policy.
"It's sort of like putting a cow in a horse costume. It's still a cow," said Emily Mitchell, a kindergarten teacher in Smyrna, Tennessee.
At this point, conservative activists are looking to the presidential race, rather than trying to roll back Common Core at the state level, said Adam Brandon, head of FreedomWorks, a libertarian-leaning grassroots network.
"Are they happy? No," Brandon said. "But the Republican nominee for president, chances are, is going to be very much against Common Core."
That may not mean much, though. Whoever wins the election in 2016 is likely to have less sway over education than Obama because Congress is advancing legislation to prohibit the federal government from influencing state learning standards.
By that point, backers say, Common Core will have already transformed U.S. education.
"We've seen Common Core hold pretty true across the country," said Chris Minnich, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers. (Reporting by Andy Sullivan; Editing by Kevin Drawbaugh and Stuart Grudgings)

Q: How can I use the value of a stringgrid cell to be stored in an array which should hold the current game state? I'm new to programming and am trying to make a delphi tictactoe game using a 3x3 array, as a way to help me learn the basics.
I'm using a stringgrid which I wanted to show the state of the board, the user places an X on the cell (via mouse click). I was hoping at this part in the code it would add the 'X' to the gameboard array using the stringgrid.cell(ARow,ACol) for the position. I've now learnt that this cannot work as the array is a char type. Is there a way around this?
I know this is not the best way to make a game, but it's helping me learn. Any help would be very appreciated. Here's my code:
unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants,
  System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
  Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Vcl.ButtonGroup,
  Vcl.Grids;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    label1: TLabel;
    StringGrid1: TStringGrid;
    Button2: TButton;

    procedure StringGrid1SelectCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
      var CanSelect: Boolean);
    procedure Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
    procedure FormShow(Sender: TObject);

  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
    procedure restart();
    procedure compTurn();
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;
  gameBoard: array [1 .. 3, 1 .. 3] of char; // array for the game board.
  iScore: Integer;
  bTurn: Boolean = True; // O's go = false, X's go = true.

implementation

{$R *.dfm}
{ TForm1 }

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin

  restart;
end;

procedure TForm1.compTurn;
begin
  // if (bTurn = false) then
  label1.Caption := 'Computer`s turn';

end;

procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
  restart;
end;

procedure TForm1.restart;
var
  i, j: Integer;
begin
  // place ? in the cells
  StringGrid1.Enabled := True;

  for i := 1 to 3 do
    for j := 1 to 3 do
      StringGrid1.cells[i, j] := '?';
  label1.Caption := 'Player X`s turn';
end;

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1SelectCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  var CanSelect: Boolean);
Var
  sX: string;
  pos: Integer;
begin

  sX := 'X';
  CanSelect := false;

  // Place a X or O in the cell depending on whose turn it is
  if (bTurn = True) then
    StringGrid1.cells[ACol, ARow] := sX // and gameBoard[ACol, ARow]

  else

    bTurn := false; // computer's turn to move
  compTurn; // make sure user can't add an X
  StringGrid1.Enabled := false;

end;

end.```

A:
I was hoping at this part in the code it would add the 'X' to the
gameboard array using the stringgrid.cell(ARow,ACol) for the position.
I've now learnt that this cannot work as the array is a char type. Is
there a way around this?

The problem you are facing here is that in your StringGrid1SelectCell event handler you defined your sX variable as string. So if you try to assign value of sX to your array of char Delphi won't let you since you cant store entire string into a sigle char.
To achieve desired functionality you should change your sX variable into a Char type instead. This will then allow you to write its value into your array.
Now you might be thinking that this would lead to problems since you also need to assign value of your sX variable to specific String Grid Cell since String Grid Cells are of String type. You won't.
You can always assign a single char to a string. This will change the length of that string to one an it will contain only the specific character you provided.
So in short:

*

*Assigning String to Char does not work

*Assigning Char to string does work

PS Also don't forget that if you need to execute multiple commands when if clause condition is met you need to enclose those commands with begin..end block.
So your code should look something like this (haven't tested it)
procedure TForm1.StringGrid1SelectCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  var CanSelect: Boolean);
Var
  sX: Char; //Change type from String to Char
  pos: Integer;

Thread: working with two monitors?
Last edited by Kiera; April 27th, 2010 at 08:50 AM.
Keep all your pallets on one monitor and be in full screen mode on the other. Uhm, i used to use 2 17in displays but went for a 24in widescreen instead on my new computer. Think i like the widescreen more but dual monitors was nice for a while.
Is this really useful for non-professional artists?
That depends entirely on what sort of work you want to be doing.
Personally, I found one monitor to be ample until I got into 3D modeling and texturing. Once I needed to rapidly go back and forth between a 3D application and a 2D application, having one monitor for each program helped a lot.
Someone else will have to help you with the technical questions, because I iz a big luddite, lolz.
I bought the cheapest card that I found that supported dual display because I don't game on my pc (aside from casual games) and I work in 2D. It's hard to tell from your question because you are not telling us what you intend to do. Photoshop and Painter use RAM way more than they use videocard power.
I´m doing the same stuff like Qitsune, mostly 2D work with PS and Painter, I rarley play games.
They are important, don't just go for the cheapest one.
Why? Because they, along with your monitor control the colors displayed on screen. If you get something crap, chances the colors won't be calibrated.
However, I don't think it's so much of a problem these days.
widescreen just isn't generous enough for me, and yes, a good quality videocard is important.
I started using two and can never go back now. Try Craigslist or Ebay; will easily find a used monitor on the cheap.
And try this, based on a tip from Bobby Chiu: In PS, go to window --> arrange --> new window and open a second window for whatever your painting. Then drag that window to the secondary monitor and full screen it while the main PS window and all the palettes run on the primary. Full screen the primary too, and do all your painting there.
This lets you zoom in and out, cut ,crop and paste, transform, and all that stuff on the primary while still being able to see exactly what the entire image looks like, as its always on the secondary. Can't begin to tell you how convenient and useful this is.
Also, one is a giant crt and the other a flat, so I can preview what stuff might look like on different monitors - good for judging colors and so on. I'm looking to add a third monitor to use as extra "desktop"...move folders around, look at reference, etc.
-Having a 2d and a 3d app running simultaneously for texture painting.
-File handling. Moving around files, having several folders open at the same time, etc etc..
-Sound editing. Sound editing programs take up all the screen realestate you can throw at it, and it really helps with another monitor.
-Temporary desktop space. I always keep my secondary monitor free of icons, so i can use it for temporarily dumping files during a session of whatever. This way i know where they are. (and its a lot easier to clean up afterwards if i know that all files on that monitor are supposed to be gone.
I cant think of that many disadvantages. I guess the big one is performance. I have a pretty decent rig (core 2 e6600, 2gb ram, fx7950 with 512 megs of video memory.) and i've never had any big problems with the most demanding games out there. The only thing i've stopped to think about was if i could get a little smoother framerate if i disabled the other monitor, but i never had the need to test it.
Another disadvantage is that when you get used to using two monitors (or a single widescreen monitor for that matter) its REALLY hard to adjust back to working on a single display if you have to.

Really funny jokes-Lost in the Sahara desert
Two Christians were lost in the Sahara desert. One is David, the other is Michael. They were dying of hunger and thirst when they suddenly came upon an oasis, with what looked like an emirate of a mosque in the middle.
David said to Michael : "Look, let's pretend we are Muslims, otherwise we'll not get any food or drink. I am going to call myself Mohammed."
Michael refused to change his name, he said : "My name is Michael, and I will not pretend to be other than but what I am...Michael."
The Imam of the mosque received both well and asked about their names.
David said : "My name is Mohammed."
Michael said : "My name is Michael."
The Imam turned to the helpers of the mosque and said : "Please bring some food and water for Michael only."
Then he turned to the other and said: "Well Mohammed, Ramzan Mubarak!"

African Safaris: Two Ways to Go
T+L compares two African safaris—in two very different locations.
By Shivani Vora
Courtesy of Manyara Ranch Conservancy
Manyara Ranch Conservancy, Tanzania
Doubles from $1,000, all-inclusive.
The Setting: The six-tent Manyara, which began accepting guests last fall, sits amid broad savannas and acacia forests on a private, 35,000-acre former cattle ranch in northern Tanzania.
The Appeal: Conservation is key here. The restored ranch is a critical habitat corridor connecting Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. It also serves as a pilot program for educating the local Masai on wildlife management.
The Camp: Plush, extra-large tents come with private decks, leather armchairs, polished wenge-wood beds, and en suite bathrooms. A kitchen tent turns out picnic lunches and evening meals, served alfresco.
The Activities: The camp operates choose-your-own-adventure style: guests pick between day and night drives, horseback rides, walking safaris, afternoons shadowing conservationists, and visits to the neighboring Masai villages.
The Animals: The conservancy has two lion prides and hundreds of elephants. Honey badgers, aardvarks, and aardwolves are staples of night drives.
The Ideal Guest: Conservation-minded travelers who want to see a habitat-restoration project at work—without sacrificing creature comforts.
Sanctuary Zebra Plains, Zambia
The Setting: This two-month-old, four-tent retreat in Zambia's up-and-coming South Luangwa National Park overlooks a wide sandbank at the confluence of two rivers.
The Appeal: Don't expect any game drives. South Luangwa is the original home of the walking safari, and the Sanctuary camp keeps adventure at the forefront with days spent exploring the park exclusively on foot.
The Camp: Canvas tents are decorated with handmade Zambian furniture and rugs—and requisite mosquito netting. (You're beside a river, after all.) Breakfast and lunch are served at camp overlooking the water, which is home to a hippo pod. Dinner takes place around a bonfire in a different location each night.
The Activities: Expect twice-daily walks of up to four hours each with a guide, armed guard, and "tea bearer" who serves steaming cups of chai or coffee mid-safari. Guests visit rivers, savannas, and even an island accessed via a canoe.
The Animals: Nearby Changwa Channel has one of the highest concentrations of hippos in the world. Lions, leopards, and the rare sable antelope are common in the area. Indigenous species include the Thornicroft's giraffe, known for its ragged star- and leaf-shaped spots.
The Ideal Guest: Safari regulars and active types who aren't afraid to rub elbows—quite literally—with wildlife.

For the fifth year in a row, True and the James Beard Foundation joined for an intimate evening at the James Beard House in New York City on March 16, 2016. As the official house purveyor of refrigeration, True commercial units outfit the kitchen, and True Residential undercounter units are used for wine, food, and beverage storage throughout the house.
Guests were taken through the newest innovations from True, a guest presentation from NYC-based Interior Designer Vanessa DeLeon, then enjoyed a superb meal. Chef Jim Fiala and his team prepared a delicious Midwestern Italian dinner inspired by dishes from Fiala's two St. Louis restaurants, Acero and The Crossing. True Executive Chef Chad White worked alongside Fiala and team to execute a meal that left guests wowed.

Currently there are 5.3 million Palestinian refugees registered with the UN in four countries, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and the Palestinian Territories. Palestinians have endured refugee status for 70 years, making them one of the largest and oldest refugee population in the world. Three generations of Palestinian refugees are living in permanent refugee camps across the Middle East, and yet most don't know Palestinians are refugees. Fewer still know about life in Palestinian refugee camps.

In view of its exceptional expertise in active and passive safety systems, the company sees itself as a key driver in reducing the number of traffic-related fatalities, injuries, and road accidents through the more widespread use of innovative technologies.
"We have been pursuing the long-term strategy behind Vision Zero for many years now and through innovations and the ongoing improvement of components and systems we are making a decisive contribution to greater road safety. As we see it, Vision Zero will be achieved in three steps: Top priority goes to eliminating all road-traffic fatalities, then comes reducing the number of persons injured to zero, and finally we need to put an end to road accidents," says Frank Jourdan, Member of the Executive Board of Continental AG and President of the Chassis & Safety Division.
"Since the mandatory introduction of seat belts, electronic stability control (ESC), tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), and automatic emergency braking systems (AEBS) for commercial vehicles, there has been a marked reduction in the numbers of road-traffic deaths and injuries, as well as in the number of road accidents. Having said that, however, at 1.2 million, the annual number of road-traffic deaths is still shockingly high — a totally inacceptable level. We are aiming to change this state of affairs through our joint efforts."
Nikolai Setzer, Member of the Executive Board of Continental and Head of Tire Division
Vision Zero has now also been adopted as the strategic target-positioning for external communications for the Continental premium tire brand in the replacement passenger tire sector in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa). Needless to say, the goal of achieving the best braking performance in each class remains unchanged. Vision Zero simply adds a new dimension, starting at the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt and taking the goals of the Tire Division forward in a way that is both logical and uncompromising.
"Tires are the sole point of contact between the vehicle and the road. All forces transmitted to the road are put down via a footprint no bigger than the size of a postcard. In a critical situation, it is the tire that determines whether the vehicle can stop in time — or whether it stays safely on course through a corner. This is why we want to inform as many drivers as possible, all over the world, about the safety benefits of using high-tech tires inflated to the correct pressure and with adequate tread depth," says Nikolai Setzer, Member of the Executive Board of Continental AG and President of the Tire Division. "From now on, we will be aligning the position of our technology-oriented premium tire brand Continental even more closely with the long-term goals of Vision Zero, an area in which Continental as a whole stands to benefit from its broad portfolio of safety technologies."
In Continental's view, over recent decades marked improvements in safety levels have been achieved through the introduction of mandatory equipment levels for new vehicles, including technologies such as ABS, ESC, TPMS, and AEBS. At the same time, however, statistics (not just in the 28 EU member states) show there are still far too many accidents taking place and too many people being killed or injured on the roads. By way of illustration, the goal of the European Road Safety Charta of halving the number of road-traffic deaths between 2000 and 2010 was not met by a substantial margin.
Continental is convinced that raising safety standards, for example by prescribing the use of existing volume-built technologies as standard equipment — not least when awarding Euro NCAP stars in the compact and sub-compact vehicle categories — would make a major difference, not only in Europe but all over the world.

Weir, Andy
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive--and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit--he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
Publisher: New York : Crown, 2014, 2011.

A fascinating realistic SF novel for Space geeks and a lot of other readers. No bits of fantasy in this; no aliens, ESP, or intergalactic wormholes. This puts the "science" in Science Fiction.
Astronaut Mark Watney is trapped on Mars. A terrible windstorm has damaged the base and the crew is trying to leave the planet. As they dash for the evacuation vehicle, Watney is hit by flying equipment and blown too far away to find. The rest of the crew has to assume he is dead so they leave. But he survives and he'll have to stay that way for as long as 4 years before the next expedition can get to him. The rest of the novel is pure science and tech as he figures how to feed himself, keep up production of water and oxygen, (among many other needs) and keep from going crazy. It's *Robinson Crusoe* but with no Friday or pets.
Weir has created a main character with a sense of humor and a creative sense that holds our attention. We also see the NASA employees back on earth as they begin to realize that Mark is still alive and the other crew members of the Mars mission as they realize that they have left a live person behind.

Great read and believable, although I found it hard at times to follow some of the "MacGvyer-isms". But still enjoyed the book. Watney deserves his own series.

I was told to read The Martian by outside sources which initially made me resist the idea (as did the imminent movie and general dislike for mass consumption Sci Fi novels). This was a mistake. By far my favourite read of 2015, The Martian exceeded my expectations. Told through the voice of Mark Watney, a sarcastic Botonist/Astronaut/General Fix-it Man, the reader is swept into a survival story like none before: survival on Mars! Mark Watney is abandoned on Mars after a sandstorm separates him from his crew. He must employ his considerable skills to survive and possibly make it back to earth. Andy Weir manages to combine plausible science and edge of your seat drama to write this compelling tale. The constant cliff hangers and hilarious wit of Mark Watney made this not only a read all night book, but also a read twice in one week book! (Submitted by CB).

The cast in space:
"Beck said (to sister Amy.) "Everyone has multiple roles. I'm the doctor, the biologist, and the EVA specialist. Commander Lewis is our geologist. Johanssen is the sysop and reactor tech. And so on"
How about that good-looking guy … Martinez?" Amy asked. "What does he do?"
"He pilots the MDV and MAV." Beck said. "He's also married with a kid, you lecherous homewrecker."
"Ah well How about Watney? What did he do?"
"He's our botanist and engineer. And don't talk about him in the past tense."
"Engineer? Like Scotty?"
"Kind of." Beck said. "He fixes stuff."
"I bet that's coming in handy now."
"Yeah, no shite."
More Dilbert-like humor:
They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially 'colonised' it. So technically, I colonised Mars. In your face, Neil Armstrong!
I need to ask myself, 'What would an Apollo astronaut do?' He'd drink three whiskey sours, drive his Corvette to the launchpad, then fly to the moon in a command module smaller than my Rover. Man those guys were cool.
Me: "This is obviously a clog. How about I take it apart and check the internal tubing?"
NASA: (after five hours of deliberation) "No. You'll freak it up and die." So I took it apart.
"How did I end up in this situation? I'm the district sales manager of a napkin factory. Why is my daughter in space?"
Dilbert-like humor (2 of 3):
People have been using human waste as fertilizer for centuries. It's even got a pleasant name: "night soil." … My asshole is doing as much to keep me alive as my brain.
The worst moments in life are heralded by small observations. The tiny lump on your side that wasn't there before Coming home to your wife and seeing two wineglasses in the sink. Anytime you hear "We interrupt this program…"
I did turn the heat back on (I'm not insane), … Waking up to frigid weather felt surprisingly nostalgic. I grew up in Chicago, after all.
The screen went black before I was out of the airlock. Turns out the "L" in "LCD" stands for "Liquid." I guess it either froze or boiled off. Maybe I'll post a consumer review. "Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10.
I started the day with some nothin' tea. Nothin' tea is easy to make. First, get some hot water, then add nothin'.
WATNEY: Look! A pair of boobs! -> (.Y.)
Also, I have duct tape. Ordinary duct tape, like you buy at a hardware store. Turns out even NASA can't improve on duct tape.
"Venkat's got a doctorate in physics, Tim," Bruce said. "You don't need to explain transmission time to him."
Tim shrugged. "You can never tell with managers."
It's a strange feeling. Everywhere I go, I'm the first. Step outside the rover? First guy ever to be there! Climb a hill? First guy to climb that hill! Kick a rock: That rock hadn't moved in a million years!
"How are our monkeys?" "The children are fine." She smiled.
If I can't trust NASA, who can I trust?
I got really bored, so I decided to pick a theme song! … There are plenty of great candidates: "Life on Mars?" by David Bowie, "Rocket Man" by Elton John, "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
But I settled on "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.
Dilbert-like humor (1 of 3:)
"I admit it's fatally dangerous," Watney said. "But consider this: I'd get to fly around like Iron Man."
Live Another Sol would be an awesome name for a James Bond movie."
I'll drink as needed and dump my waste outdoors. Yeah, that's right, Mars, I'm gonna piss and shxt on you. That's what you get for trying to kill me all the time.
Just three words? Nothing about his physical health? His equipment? His supplies?'
'You got me,' she said. 'He left a detailed status report. I just decided to lie for no reason.'
Gay probe coming to save me. Got it.
I guess NAASA figured botany and chemistry are similar because they both end in "Y."
"Space is dangerous," Mitch snapped. "It's what we do here. If you want to play it safe all the time, go join an insurance company…"
As my sole means of communication with NASA, Pathfinder gets to ride on the roof, Granny Clampett style.

Carroll breaks ground on new athletic field, track
First stadium upgrades at Carroll since 1983
By John Bombatch - jbombatch@aimmediamidwest.com
School officials broke ground at 11:01 a.m. Feb. 11 to kick off the creation of a $2.1 million artificial turf athletic field, at Carroll High School in Riverside.

Several Carroll High School students also got to enjoy a ceremonial dig Feb. 12 in celebration of the school's new stadium field and four-lane track, which are expected to be completed by August, 2019.
School officials and students signed a Carroll hard hat to commemorate the Feb. 12 groundbreaking ceremony at Carroll High School in Riverside.
A pair of Carroll High School students share a laugh during the ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony for a new artificial turf field, Feb. 12, in Riverside.
RIVERSIDE — With hard hats, ribbons and spade shovels, an assembled group of alumni, board members, school officials and students broke ground on Carroll High School's new $2.1 million artificial playing field and four-lane track, at 11:01 a.m. Feb. 12.
The project kicks off the public phase of Carroll's Foundation for the Future renovation campaign, which will include improvements to five of the school's science labs while building two new ones. According to the school's publication Reflections, funding for the field, the St. John the Evangelist chapel, and a $250,000 endowment have already been completed.
Principal Matt Sableski said the hope is to have the running track and artificial turf completed by the first week of August.
"Carroll High School, for a long time, has had a proud tradition of excellent athletics and academics," Sableski said. "We've always done that in a facility that is a little bit outdated. So for the last five years or so, there's been a lot of energy for renovation of the stadium, and we're excited to say that we're going to break ground on that. And by the fall, our students will be playing on a new turf and an all-weather track."
According to the school, installation of the new field and running track will be the first major upgrades to Patriot Stadium since 1983 when the current press box was built.
New stadium lights were installed in 2018. The lighting improvements were the initial investment in what is Phase Two of the Foundation for the Future program. The estimated price for the turf, track, lights, science labs, endowment and Carroll Patriot funds combined is $4.5 million.
"There are many phases of this campaign, this is only one of them, but this is certainly the one we're most excited about today," Sableski said.
Athletic Director Scott Molfenter was understandably excited about the new athletic facilities.
"This'll be my 28th year at Carroll, and I'm very very excited to begin here," he said. "It creates an environment where our kids can always participate. We don't have to take time off for weather or worry about a rainy Friday night, or a messy week.
"Our long-term goal is to have a facility where we can host playoff events, and bring members of our community in to watch some tournament games. And for our kids, it levels things out a bit. More often than not, we go to other school's facilities and they're on turf as well, so it gives our kids a chance to have that and practice on that as well."
Sableski said anyone wishing to make a donation to the Foundation for the Future program can go to the organization's website at www.carrollhs.org for more information.

Bloggen TRAINING: What are you standing for as a leader?
– stand for what is most important for a true leader – his personal values and be confident!
– "Why we except some of the experience and for the other ones we resist for until we are exhausted?
We were able to reflect on Nelson Mandela's and Ellen Degeneres' examples on what helped them to become true leaders, what values they honored in every single step of their life and because of that formed a certain personal brand of a leader. People, like Nelson Mandela, can spend 27 years in the prison, but still feel that it was worthy! There was no loss. And people, who spend their life, honoring somebody else's interests and values, can have all freedom, but have a meaningful life! That was the power of the values we aimed to explore and have for our leaders!
And of course, we practically defined our personal values. At the end of the training, we made a BIG commitment to honor them in every single day experience, bringing more awareness to our actions and satisfaction at the end of the day! We decided to be accountable and share our results in a Facebook group, where everybody supports each other with positive vibes and empathy!
This is a big practical step in order to help people to explore leadership with JCI! Next step is to learn how we can define the direction we want to move and inspire others. See you at the next training for leaders: "Leading needs a direction! How do we discover it?" on the 17th of November 2018.


What is sleep apnea? Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which is also known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and Sleep Apnoea is when airflow to the lungs is blocked because the tongue or soft tissues of the throat or soft palate collapse onto the back wall of the upper airway thereby creating the obstruction. This obstruction could be a partial obstruction or it can be completely blocked, which is then known as OSA.
People only snore while asleep, the reason for that is our muscle tone is strong enough to keep our airways open while awake. However, when we relax at bedtime, our muscles also relaxes causing our muscle tone in our upper airways to weaken, which can cause it to collapse completely; resulting in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
It becomes apparent that you might have sleep apnea when your snoring is loud and then the loud snoring is followed by episodes of silence where you're breathing stops or almost stops.
Our brains are naturally tuned to alert us in times of trouble, so your brain will give a signal to alert you to wake up when your breathing is out of the ordinary, and then usually with a loud snort or gasp. Almost like a wake-up call from your brain. This can happen many times per night, and it is even not uncommon that there can be several hundred 'stop breathing and wake-up incidents' during an 8-hour sleep period.
Periods where you stop breathing that lasts longer than 10 seconds per time, can be very serious and you should seek immediate medical attention.
This could undoubtedly lead to a situation of feeling chronically fatigued, because you don't sleep enough. This is then usually the time when most people will look for sleeping pills to help them sleep. This could be a huge mistake and actually aggravate your snoring, find out why the best sleeping pills is not the best idea.
Your partner will usually have to tell you about all your apnea occurrences that happened the night before, as it is unlikely that you will even know about it, all you know is that you are always tired.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): I mentioned above that the brain's natural instinct is to protect us, so it will wake you up to breathe when you are not breathing. With CSA however, the brain does not wake you up or send signals to warn you to breath. This is therefore a very dangerous condition which would need immediate medical attention.
Mixed Sleep Apnea (MSA): This is a combination of both OSA and CSA. In these rare cases, patients struggle to breathe even after using a CPAP machine, and even after their airways were opened with the help of the machine.
Extremely loud snoring, interrupted by pauses and gasps.
Chronic daytime sleepiness. E.g. falling asleep with daily activities.
Difficulty with focus and concentration.
Headaches especially in the mornings.
Forgetfulness. E.g. Problems remembering things.
Changes in mood or behavior.
The symptoms or signs above could indicate possible sleep apnea, but having some of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have sleep apnea. The reason for this is the fact that some of these symptoms could also indicate something completely different, and will not necessarily mean OSA.
If you however have some or all of these symptoms all the time, that is when you show signs that you might really have sleep apnea.
Our bodies need proper deep sleep at night, to enable it to recuperate/recharge properly. This period of proper deep sleep is stage 3 of the Non-rapid eye movement sleep period (NREM). OSA causes a situation where you wake up regularly, and then more than likely do not get proper sleep. This can have the result that you get less deep sleep or even no deep sleep at night, which can be very detrimental to your health.
Read 10 Ways to Sleep Better if you want to learn more.
Deep sleep can be defined as the time when your major muscle groups, such as your heart, get to relax and repair for the next day. If you don't get enough deep sleep rest, your heart does not get the amount of rest it needs on a daily basis. All doctors will agree that adults over 18 years need between seven and a half and nine hours sleep per night.
Apart from the possible risk to our heart health, without proper sleep we can also get irritable, moody, and even develop depression. Without proper sleep we cannot think clearly, react clearly and our work and private lives can suffer.
There are still many things that could be said about the dangers of OSA and about the sleep deprivation that goes along with it, but that is however beyond the scope of this article and will feature in future articles.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea can wreck havoc on your love life, work life and of course sleeping needs. Our bodies need sleep to recuperate, that is just how we were created, and without the proper rest our bodies will start breaking down.
Fortunately our bodies gives us little signals when we don't take care of it, as we sometimes tend to do. All this small ailments and signs tell us that we need to slow down and rest, and maybe even that we need a holiday. If we ignore these signals, be prepared to visit the doctor.
So what do you do if you have OSA, because OSA is one of the biggest culprits of denying people proper sleep? If you are an OSA sufferer, the chances are you will never get a good night sleep, unless you get it treated. Luckily there are treatment options available, such as the CPAP machine, surgery and even some natural remedies that might make a difference. This is however beyond the scope of this article and will be discussed in future articles.
It is estimated that around 16% of all people around the world suffer from OSA. If you are one of them, and you believe your symptoms to be serious, make sure you seek medical attention, because OSA is not something to mess with.
So what is sleep apnea? I hope you will be able to answer this question now. However please don't let this information, no matter how helpful it was, be a substitute for seeking a proper doctor's examination, as Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a very serious condition.

Yes I will definitely write an article about narcolepsy, where you suffer from extreme daytime sleepiness and often struggle to stay awake for long. I am really sorry about your daughter, being a father myself I can imagine how difficult this must be for you.
I wish you nothing but the best.

Born Today in 1913: French Actor Jean Marais
Jean Marais was born today, December 11, in 1913. He was a French actor, writer, director, and sculptor. He performed in more than 100 films and was the muse of acclaimed director Jean Cocteau. In 1996, he was awarded the French Legion of Honor for his contributions to French Cinema.
In 1933, Marais was discovered by filmmaker Marcel L'Herbier, who purchased one of his paintings, then cast him in two films. Marais starred in several movies directed by Jean Cocteau, for a time his lover and a lifelong friend, most famously Beauty and the Beast (1946) and Orphée (1949).
Marais with Jean Cocteau in 1938
In the 1950s, Marais became a star of swashbuckling pictures, enjoying great box office popularity in France. He performed his own stunts. In the 1960s, he played both the famed villain and the hero of the Fantômas trilogy.
After 1970, Marais's on-screen performances became few and far between, as he preferred concentrating on his stage work. He performed on stage until his eighties, also working as a sculptor. His sculpture Le passe muraille (The Walker Through Walls) can be seen in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris.
He was married for two years to the actress Mila Parély, with whom he later performed in Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast.
After Cocteau's death, Marais wrote a memoir of Cocteau, L'Inconcevable Jean Cocteau, attributing authorship to "Cocteau-Marais." He also wrote an autobiography, L'Histoire de ma vie, published in 1975. From 1953 until 1959, his companion was the American dancer George Reich.
Marais died from cardiovascular disease in Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes, in 1998 at age 84.
His life story became the inspiration for the 1980 François Truffaut film The Last Metro. Marais appears on the cover sleeve of The Smiths single "This Charming Man."

The first day of the Laser SB3 National Championship at Hayling Island Sailing Club was a windy affair with plenty of drama.
With 25 knots of northerly breeze, sunshine and calm seas, the PRO set a one-mile windward/leeward course in Hayling Bay.
The first race started after one general recall, with Mark Rushall, Russell Peters and Iain May filling the top three positions.
Race 2 started cleanly but saw the reigning national champion, Geoff Carveth, retiring with a broken gooseneck. Marshall King, who placed 2nd in the European Championship earlier this season, won the second race. Paul Lovering, with the Greenhalgh brothers crewing, came in 2nd, while Glenn Bourke found form finishing in 3rd.
Carveth recovered quickly to start the final race of the day and post a 2nd place behind Russell Peters in Tack Tick.
Following a collision soon after the start of race 3, Lawrie Smith's boat sunk after sustaining serious damage to the bow. The boat was recovered in the evening, thanks to some nifty work by Hayling Rescue.
Unsurprisingly it is Glenn Bourke in Musto who has taken the early lead in the championships overall having posted a consistent 6-3-4 today. With three days to go and conditions forecast to ease, consistency is likely to be the key to success.

Motorola secures second patent win, forces Apple to halt online iPhone, iPad sales in Germany
May 13, 2021 5:03 AM UTC by Charles Starrett
Motorola Mobility has won a second patent ruling against Apple in Germany, even as the latter has been forced to remove some iPhone and iPad models from its online store thanks to the prior ruling. Bloomberg reports that the Mannheim Regional Court found that Apple infringed upon a Motorola patent used to synchronize email accounts with its iCloud service, a ruling that allows Motorola hold Apple liable for damage. "The court has come to the conclusion that the wording of the patent does cover functions that were at issue here," said ruling Judge Andreas Voss. Apple "wasn't able to convince the court that it isn't infringing." Apple spokesman Alan Hely said that "Apple believes this old pager patent is invalid and we're appealing the court's decision."
In addition, Apple overnight removed some iPhone and iPad models from its online store in Germany in response to a ruling from December claiming that the products infringe upon a Motorola patent related to GPRS technology. Specifically, the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and all Wi-Fi models of the iPad are affected—according to BBC News—but not the iPhone 4S or Wi-Fi-only models of the iPad. "While some iPad and iPhone models are not available through Apple's online store in Germany right now, customers should have no problem finding them at one of our retail stores or an authorized reseller," Hely said. Apple has appealed the December ruling, arguing that Motorola refuses to license the industry standard patent on fair and reasonable terms.
Update: Apple has since been granted a suspension of the injunction against the iPhones and iPads mentioned previously. "All iPad and iPhone models will be back on sale through Apple's online store in Germany shortly" Apple told SlashGear in a statement. "Apple appealed this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."
