Brands Hatch World Superbikes: Troy Bayliss pips James Toseland in superpole battle
Troy Bayliss pipped britian's James Toseland to pole by 0.028seconds
Xerox Ducati's Troy Bayliss won the first of the battles at Brands Hatch as he pipped Britain's James Toseland to pole position by just 0.028secs.
Thousands of spectators cheered as Hannspree Ten Kate Honda's James Toseland snatched the top spot from Yamaha's Noriyuki Haga knocking 0.243secs off the Japanese rider's lap time.
Troy Bayliss believes the home race pressure may get to James Toseland.
He said: "James is in a great position in the championship. Of course he would love to have a good race in front of his home crown but it can bite you on the bum."
Noriyuki Haga was the first of the frontrunners from the weekend leading up to superpole to head out on the track and did not disappoint his Yamaha bosses as he went straight to the top of the timesheets with a 1:25.878 despite suffering a 'moment' late in his lap.
Alstare Suzuki's Max Biaggi was fifth out for the session and shot up to provisional pole 1.143secs ahead of Karl Muggeridge who was second at that point. But Muggeridge was soon to go down the list with Yamaha YZF's Steve Martin soon taking second after Max Biaggi.
Biaggi only held on to pole for as long as it took three other riders to get round as his teammate Yukio Kagayama flew round 0.3secs faster than Troy Bayliss' qualifying practice time with a 1:25.961.
It was enough to see Yukio Kagayama on the front row of the grid which sees four different manufacturers starting from row one.

What is nine plus 10? (Just so we know you're a real person)
27 Jan 2020: UNITED KINGDOM: New Fast-Track Visa Scheme for Top Scientists to Open on 20 February 2020
UNITED KINGDOM: New Fast-Track Visa Scheme for Top Scientists to Open on 20 February 2020
The UK Government has announced that the Global Talent route, a visa scheme for top scientists, researchers and mathematicians, will open on 20 February 2020.
The Global Talent route replaces the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) route and allows the science funding agency UK Research and Innovation to endorse applicants for a fast-tracked visa application without a job offer and no cap on the number of visas issued.
According to the government announcement, the route will also:
double the number of eligible fellowships, such as Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the European Research Council and Human Frontier Science, which also enable individuals to be fast-tracked;
continue to ensure dependents have full access to the labour market;
preserve the route's flexibility by not requiring an individual to hold an offer of employment before arriving or tying them to one specific job;
provide an accelerated path to settlement for all scientists and researchers who are endorsed on the route;
provide for an exemption from our absences rules for researchers, and their dependants, where they are required overseas for work-related purposes, ensuring they are not penalised when they apply for settlement.
The changes to the immigration rules to implement this scheme will be made on 30 January 2020, when more details should become available.

Carlson accuses AOC of smearing the GOP and pushing a 'dark fantasy designed to terrify people'
Carlson accuses AOC of smearing the GOP and pushing a 'dark fantasy designed to terrify people'
January 30, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton | Print Article
Tucker Carlson took Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) to the proverbial woodshed over stirring up divisiveness and animosity in Congress by referring to her "dark fantasy designed to terrify people." He spoke out against "this now-official line that the American government is now at war with its own population." This follows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's referral to the "enemy within" when speaking about Republican House members.
Carlson hit the nail on the head Friday as he forcefully spoke against "power-made members of Congress dividing people by race so they can conquer." He referenced "white fragility" and "white supremacy" in a "Tucker Carlson Tonight" monologue that basically proclaimed that if Democrats don't stop the hateful hyperbole, bad things are likely to happen.
He played a clip of Ocasio-Cortez claiming that "there are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives… There's no consequences for racism, no consequences for misogyny, no consequences for insurrection. And no consequence means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance, and they want it because they know that it is a core animating political energy for them."
This is the same woman who accused Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) of literally trying to kill her because he chose to address electoral fraud. When Cruz backed AOC's stance on going after Robinhood in the GameStop uproar, she said the following to him: "I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there's common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out," AOC tweeted at Cruz on Thursday. "Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren't trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign."
(Source: Fox News)
Republicans demanded she apologize for that verbal bile but she has not.
Cruz stated that "there's a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side" when he was asked about her vicious accusation.
"It's, it's not healthy for our country, it's certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others," Cruz said.
Then Ocasio-Cortez doubled down: "Oh, there's anger?" she tweeted. "Now why would there be anger that Cruz amplified known lies about our election that fueled an insurrection that cost ppl's lives?"
"What does he think the logical response to his lies should be? A hug?" she snarled. "Maybe there's anger bc his actions deserve accountability."
Anything and everything, no matter how outrageous, to vilify the Republicans.
Ted Cruz calmly says he agrees with AOC, she JUMPS down his throat, claims he tried to have her murdered https://t.co/gquEAIxu5P pic.twitter.com/d2bH2CRIvy
— Conservative News (@BIZPACReview) January 29, 2021
The rhetoric coming from Democrats aimed at their Republican counterparts has reached a fever pitch of hatred and distrust. Carlson's point is that such a political environment produces radicals and violence which no one wants.
The Fox News host played the clip and then declared, "That woman is a tool of corporate power posing as a truth-teller. Look at her campaign contributions. Who is supporting her campaigns? People who want to change the subject away from economics to identity politics." Many Americans, and politicians for that matter, would wholeheartedly agree with that assessment.
"Think about the effect on the people listening," Carlson warned. "'Fealty to white supremacist organizations as a political tool. What does that even mean? We are not sure who she's talking about."
Carlson went on to say that Ocasio-Cortez is pushing a "dark fantasy designed to terrify people and make them easier to command," and then added, "Talk like that from our leaders, from our elected officials, is going to turn some of our citizens very, very radical. You don't want to live in a country with very, very radical people."
Earlier in the show, he also referenced how D.C. has become militarized suddenly and that a permanent fence is going around the Capitol. The left seeks to silence those who even speak out against them. Ironically, Carlson noted, the Democrats are now more in fear than when Trump was in office.

Q: How do I make use of the remote disc icon in the sidebar of Finder? I bought the new Mac Mini, which doesn't have a SuperDrive, and I noticed an icon in the sidebar of the Finder: Remote Disc.

To which device is referring?
When I clicked over the sidebar icon with the right button, to get information about the device, I got just genetic information that didn't help me to understand if it is referring to a specific device, and how I can "connect" such device to the Mac Mini.

Can I associate the "Remote Disc" with a MacBook's SuperDrive?

A: Remote Disc is a way for Macs without optical drives (Air, mini) to access another computers optical drive over a network. So you can put a disc in another Mac or Windows PC and read it on your mini.
Full details and instructions are reported here.
On the computer with the CD/DVD drive:

*

*Go to the Preference panel, and click on "Sharing."

*In Sharing, enable the "CD and DVD Sharing" service.

*When a CD/DVD is inserted in the computer used to share the CD/DVD, its content will be show under "Remote Disc" on the Mac Mini.

Q: twitter GET search backup-system I am using the Twitter GET search for retrieving tweets from a specified account, hashtag etc. etc.. But the Twitter GET search has it's limitations: it has a timelimit of 6 to 9 days of visible tweets. That's where I want to make sure there are always three tweets visible on the website.
The problem is I can't just add the entire xml string to a database (tried that, and it works, but if there is a new tweet when the others are not visible anymore I'm stuck with 1 tweet instead of 3 when it updates) and need to target individual nodes of the xml-file.
The point is that I want to retrieve new tweets, but 'close the gap' with the older tweets (in case there are less than 3 tweets in the GET search).
I still want to save a xml string to the database, but with the backup-plan as described above. I want to use php for this xml-string modifying. Does anyone have suggestions on this? I tried simpleXML, but this has it's limitations (e.g. reading, editing or deleting of an object's nodes).
I am aware of the Twitter Stream API, but I just can not get hold of how it works, that's why I am trying it with the GET search.

A: Why don't you:

*

*Get the search XML

*Parse it to extract each tweet

*Store each tweet in a table (with the tweet_id as PK)

*Continue to fetch the search

*if the last tweet from the search is different than the last tweet from the database, you integrate it

*back to 4. and loop

This way, you will always have XX tweets available. And you can purge the table when you have XX tweets inside to keep fresh tweet inside.
After that, you can improve the way you find if a tweet is on your side or not. But I think it's a good start.


The University of Washington Biodiesel Cooperative is an undergraduate-led registered student organization that was established in 2010 as a way for students to become more involved in waste management and alternative energy through hands-on learning. After losing our lab in 2011 to an incoming professor in the Bioresource Science and Engineering Department, the Cooperative has spent the past three years seeking a permanent lab space. We collaborated with the Chemical Engineering Department to acquire temporary lab space in 2012, and through a CSF grant, were able to perform basic tests on our old biodiesel reactor. From these tests, UW Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) deemed our old reactor unsafe to run indoors without proper ventilation, and required us to narrow our search for space to facilities with chemical fume hoods.
After receiving a unanimous approval and support from ASUW in the form of an initiative to find our group permanent lab space, we contacted vice provosts, deans, department chairs and facilities services to help us in our search. Although we were heavily supported, there simply was not a viable space to support our group. Luckily, in the spring of 2013 we caught a breakthrough with UW Transportation Services and Joshua Kavanagh, who offered an open lot to us on their grounds off 25th Ave, as a part of UW Motor Fleet property. Since this time, we have collaborated with Transportation Services and the Capital Projects office to plan and permit the location with the city for the installation of a retrofitted shipping container laboratory. This new facility will be modeled out of a large shipping container, and will contain a functioning biodiesel reactor that eliminates on-campus waste through the conversion of used cooking oil generated by the campus restaurants into fuel-grade biodiesel. With the financial support of the Campus Sustainability Fund to cover the expense of building, permitting, and supplies, the UW Biodiesel Cooperative will finally be able to make this vision a reality.
When compiled, these costs are substantial, and so we are proposing a request of $89,682 to cover our startup expenses. Approximately $30,000 of this cost will cover the shipping container design and purchase, $20,000 will cover foundation and land preparation and the remaining costs will go to permitting and salaries for architects, inspections and planning services. From a previous grant from the CSF in 2012, we were able to quantitatively justify our need for a professional biodiesel reactor though vapor characterization, and from this, gained the support of the College of Engineering, as well as a sponsorship of $8,000 to go towards the purchase of a new biodiesel reactor. Additionally, the lot for our new lab saves us a significant operational costs, as Transportation Services has allowed us to occupy the space rent-free.
The website for UW Biodiesel is http://students.washington.edu/biofuel/, and current officers can be found and contacted through the officers/contact tab.

Le Port du désir is een Franse film van Edmond T. Gréville die werd uitgebracht in 1955.

Samenvatting

De havenautoriteit van Marseille gelast kapitein Lequévic en zijn collega Michel met de berging van een scheepswrak. Ze beseffen echter niet dat in het wrak niet alleen smokkelwaar zit verstopt maar vooral het lijk van een jonge vrouw.

Wanneer Michel naar het wrak duikt ontdekt hij het lichaam. Meneer Black, een smokkelaar en de eigenaar van het gezonken schip, wil voorkomen dat het schip wordt geborgen en het lijk dus wordt opgehaald. Hij probeert Michel om te kopen. Die wenst niet medeplichtig te zijn aan moord. Daarop sluiten Black en zijn handlangers Michel en Martine, zijn vriendin en de zus van het vermoorde meisje, op. Ondertussen heeft Le Quévic de politie gealarmeerd en die komt Black op het spoor.

"Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates is a posttransl" by Rasha Bhandari, Adolfo Saiardi et al.
In a previous study, we showed that the inositol pyrophosphate diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7) physiologically phosphorylates mammalian and yeast proteins. We now report that this phosphate transfer reflects pyrophosphorylation. Thus, proteins must be prephosphorylated by ATP to prime them for IP7 phosphorylation. IP7 phosphorylates synthetic phosphopeptides but not if their phosphates have been masked by methylation or pyrophosphorylation. Moreover, IP7 phosphorylated peptides are more acid-labile and more resistant to phosphatases than ATP phosphorylated peptides, indicating a different type of phosphate bond. Pyrophosphorylation may represent a novel mode of signaling to proteins.

Paul Jenkins was an abstract expressionist, a painter's painter, whose work can be found in at least eighty-five museums in more than ten countries around the world.
William Paul Jenkins was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1923, an only child, who was raised by his father, a realtor, after his parents divorced. Jenkins was influenced by the Asian art collection in Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum.
Jenkins moved to Struthers, Ohio when he was a teenager, where his mother and stepfather ran the local newspaper, The Struthers Journal. After he graduated from high school, Jenkins joined the U.S. Maritime Service and then served in the U.S. Naval Air Corps during World War ll.
After his service, Jenkins moved to New York and studied at the Art Students League with Japanese-American painter, Yasuo Kuniyoshi. Jenkins became part of the New York art scene which, at the time, included artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
In 1953, Jenkins travel to Sicily and then to Paris, where he had his first exhibit in 1954 at Studio Paul Facchetti on the Rue de Lille where, two years before, the gallery had exhibited the works of Jackson Pollock. Jenkins first exhibit in the U.S. was held in Seattle in 1955, followed by his first solo exhibition in New York, in 1956, at the Martha Jackson Gallery, from which the Whitney Museum purchased Divining Rod for its permanent collection.
Jenkins divided his time between a studio in Paris and a loft near Union Square in New York that had belonged to Willem de Koonig. Influenced by Eastern Philosophy, astrology, and the writings of Carl Jung, Jenkins used an ivory knife to move paint through the surface of his canvas.
Beginning in 1958, Jenkins titled each canvas Phenomena, with additional identifying words. He believed the work to be descriptive of the discovery process inherent in each painting. "I have conversations with them," he said of his paintings, "and they tell me what they want to be called." Jenkins success, especially in Europe, allowed him to live an elegant lifestyle, hosting parties for guests like Danielle Mitterrand, the first lady of France, Paloma Picasso, Robert Motherwell and Berenice Abbott.
His paintings were prominently featured in Paul Mazursky's 1978 movie An Unmarried Woman, starring Jill Clayburgh, with Alan Bates playing her sexy, Manhattan artist and lover. Jenkins taught Bates how to spread the paint across the canvas. Jenkins also sculpted, worked in glass and continued to refine his technique throughout his lifetime.
His works can be found at the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Guggenheim, MoMA, the Tate, London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and many other galleries and private collections around the world.

Q: How to make Java with Applet project into .exe file How to make Java with Applet project into  .exe file. So it can run an any computer.

A: It is not possible.
It is not possible to create an exe that will run on any computer.  Period.
It is possible to create an exe that will run on a Windows machine (I hesitate to say any Windows) but that exe won't run on Linux or Mac OSX ... or any machine that is not a x86 or x86-64 machine (depending on how you built the exe).
It is possible to run a Java application (from a JAR file) on any machine with Java preinstalled.
It is possible to create an exe wrapper for a Java application (see How can I convert my Java program to an .exe file?), but the exe won't that can run on any machine.  Like all exe files, it will only run on specific operating systems / hardware architectures.  And converting to an exe like this may cause some aspects of Java not to work.
I would recommend these alternatives:

*

*Distribute your application as a JAR file, and leave it up to the user to download and install a JRE separately.  (That is NOT hard to do.)

*Use an installer-builder (such as InstallAnywhere) to create installers for your application for the platforms you want to support.  Use the option for embedding a JRE in the installer.

The other issue is that applet support is going to be removed entirely from Java pretty soon.  Indeed, it has already been de-supported in most modern browsers.  You should be looking to rewrite your UI code using AWT / Swing, JavaFX, HTML5 or something else.

Case Name Wilson v. Kelley PC-GA-0004
Docket / Court 11647 ( N.D. Ga. )
State/Territory Georgia
Plaintiffs, black and white current, former, and prospective inmates in Georgia penal institutions, brought a civil rights law suit through counsel affiliated in various ways with the ACLU in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against all the state's prison and jail ... read more >
Plaintiffs, black and white current, former, and prospective inmates in Georgia penal institutions, brought a civil rights law suit through counsel affiliated in various ways with the ACLU in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against all the state's prison and jail officials alleging violations of their Eighth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. They sought declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, the complaint sought (1) to abolish racial segregation in all jails and penal institutions in Georgia; (2) to prevent the alleged discrimination in the employment of blacks at penal institutions and as sheriffs in Georgia; and (3) to abolish all county public works camps in Georgia. A three-judge district court panel awarded relief to desegregate the penal facilities, but denied the remaining relief sought. Wilson v. Kelley, 294 F.Supp 1005 (N.D. Ga. 1968) (Judge Sidney O. Smith).
Georgia law segregated inmates on the basis of race. Inmates not in the state system were segregated as a matter of custom. In light of a recent Supreme Court decision, the district court held that this type of racial segregation, and therefore the statutes, violated the Fourteenth Amendment and ordered the complete integration of all city and county jails, county public works camps, state correctional institutions and juvenile facilities within six months, on or before January 1, 1969. The court said that prison officials could take racial tensions into account concerning security and discipline, but that they could only do so when acting in good faith in response to some actual evidence.
The district court panel refused to grant relief on the other two requests. First, despite evidence that the majority of inmates were black and that the overwhelming majority of corrections jobs were filled by whites, the court dismissed plaintiffs' second claim reasoning that there was not a proper class of plaintiffs nor a proper defendant class representative in the case. Specifically, none of the members of the plaintiff class had ever applied for work in a correctional facility and they failed to show that a member of the defendant class could grant the relief requested. In a separate opinion, another judge dissented, arguing that plaintiffs were a proper class because they were affected by the hiring practices. (Judge Tuttle, concurring in part and dissenting in part).
The court also rejected plaintiffs' claim that the work camps constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment and involuntary servitude under the Thirteenth Amendment because they offered only physical labor and not academic and trade programs like other facilities. The court reasoned that plaintiffs were not a representative class, as some prisoners at the work camp might prefer that assignment, and that there was not a clear abuse of discretion that would warrant disregarding the longstanding policy of courts to not interfere in prison administration and discipline.
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in a per curiam judgment without opinion. Wilson v. Kelley, 393 U.S. 266 (1968).
Although the docket for this case is not available on PACER, activity continued after the Supreme Court decision. According to an August 11, 1975 memo to the Federal Bureau of Investigations from the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, the United States became a party intervenor in the case in 1973 for purposes of enforcement. Since that time, the memo states that United States had brought enforcement actions against five Georgia counties and that private plaintiffs had also brought enforcement actions. The memo requested the assistance of the FBI to determine if jails not yet investigated were in compliance with the 1968 court order. One such investigation, concluded with an FBI report dated September 14, 1976, revealed that one facility became integrated as a result of the Justice Departments' out of court efforts.

Generations of Diné Healers Face Naayéé'
May 21, 2020 December 8, 2020 / farinaking
Farina King
"They say that they are like firemen. They know what they signed up for. They must fulfill their call for duty." This is what Mom told me when I asked why Dad has to continue working in the clinic. We are Diné (Navajo). We come from the Kinyaa'áanii (Towering House) clan. My father is born for the Tsi'naajinii (Black Streak Wood People) clan. He is seventy years old and has been practicing medicine since the late 1970s. He is a family and community medicine physician who retired from the Indian Health Service (IHS) but has continued family medicine practice at Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation for the past several years. I used to joke that he would work until he died but now I fear that every day because of COVID-19 or Dikos Nstaaígíí-19 as we call it in Diné bizaad (the Navajo language).
Service, care, and healing have been my father's calling. His forebearers were hataałii—Diné healers—before him. Like many others, my father is my hero. I never imagined that he would be a hero on the frontlines against COVID-19. He told me and my siblings in a zoom video meeting, from his trailer in Monument Valley on Easter of 2020, "I do not do what I do because I'm a hero. I do it because I care." He works with some Diné elders over ninety years old, and some of his patients only speak Navajo—his first language that now only a few medical practitioners in the world know fluently like him.
Because I care.
-Phillip L. Smith
Since time immemorial our Diné ancestors have faced naayéé', monsters, and they not only survived but also thrived as a people. In Diné oral tradition, the Hero Twins defeated Yé'iitsoh, who was covered in metal, and applied the monster's broken armor for common purposes such as cutting knives. The twin heroes did not kill all the monsters, which have plagued humanity over time. But generations of Diné heroes have risen and fallen, confronting the monsters of their eras.
While media, stories, and cries of my people and community show the rampage of Dikos Nstaaígíí-19, the coronavirus monster, many have asked why the virus is so prevalent in the Navajo Nation. As a Diné historian and descendant of healers, I trace the intergenerational struggles with monsters, especially one that persists and breeds other threats to Navajos, including COVID-19. This monster is colonialism—the ongoing force to dispossess, displace, and destroy Diné and Indigenous peoplehood, identity, and ties to homelands.
My father's great-grandparents and grandmother survived the Long Walk, when U.S. soldiers poisoned the waters and burned the crops of Diné families and forced by gunpoint as many Diné as they could to walk hundreds of miles to a prison camp of barren land. Hundreds died on the walk, and thousands died at Hwéeldi, Fort Sumner. After about four years, my ancestors returned to their sacred and beloved homelands, although the U.S. government, railroads, and white settlers curved out much of the land and often framed Navajos as intruders and ungrateful for what the U.S. "gave" them.
My father's grandmother tattooed her Indian census number on her wrist so that she could always remember it to receive rations for sustenance. Because the rations often included flour and lard, fry bread became a survival food and later a staple. Diabetes and various health disorders have consequentially been epidemics among our people. Almost all of my relatives have diabetes. We have lost several of our precious elders after their legs were amputated due to complications with diabetes.
U.S. officials, missionaries, and settlers separated Diné families to assimilate and "educate" the children, explicitly planning to sever them from their communities and integrate them in mainstream American society through the twentieth century with programs of boarding schools and policies such as Indian relocation and termination. By 1923, American officials established the Navajo tribal government to basically sign off on land and oil leases to white and non-Navajo businesses and government. Navajo lands, waters, and communities have been poisoned and drained by resource extractions such as uranium and coal mining. Cancer has become epidemic among our people and has taken many of my loved ones including my grandparents.
Our sacred and precious waters have been diverted to urban centers and populations, while about 30 percent of people in Navajo Nation cannot access running water better yet clean water. When the basic rule of combatting COVID-19 is to wash your hands, and thirty percent of our people cannot do this so easily, this is why the disease hits the community so hard. When 1 in 5 Navajos have diabetes and a CDC study has found uranium even in Diné babies born in the twenty-first century, this is why our people are so susceptible to serious illnesses and health complications such as COVID-19.[1]
One of the worst uranium mill spills of U.S. history happened down the road from my family's home sites in Church Rock, New Mexico, in 1979.[2] The Gold King Mine Waste Water Spill of 2015 caused over 3 million gallons of toxic sludge to contaminate our sacred rivers and life lines, the San Juan River and Colorado River. Navajos did not ask for these hazards or hardships. We only seek to exist as Diné, as people of Diné Bikéyah (Navajo lands), our refuge and home. But forces have continued to invalidate our claims to lands, health, and wellbeing.
Not long before the COVID-19 pandemic, our sacred landscapes of Bears Ears and Chaco Canyon came under attack for more resource extraction and exploitation through perpetual efforts to dispossess Navajos, force removal, decimate Diné peoplehood, pollute waters and homelands, and separate Diné families. COVID-19 also threatens the people—killing especially our elders and knowledge bearers and pitting people against us as in the case of the terrorist in Page, Arizona. In early April of 2020, the terrorist threatened to shoot Navajos since he believed that all Navajos carried the coronavirus.[3]
Rather than stirring more hate, fear, and antagonism, let us finally heal as healers in my family have always hoped and pursued—restoring balance, harmony, and reconciliation. Stand together with one another for who we all are—the Five-Fingered Beings. The healers are warriors. According to Diné ancestral teachings, warriors are the ones who care for the sick, feed the hungry, bring wood for the fires, and unite the people. I thank the healers and warriors, my ancestors, Navajo leaders, my father, and those on the frontlines for facing the monsters of today. We can best support them by all working to heal, which requires recognizing the wounds of the monsters from past and present—colonialism, greed, lust, narcissism, hate, and fear—that have harassed us but have also given us the courage to rise and grow stronger by overcoming them.
Since time immemorial, Diné have passed on teachings of Si'ąh Naagháí Bik'eh Hózhǫ́, simply translated as "Walk in Beauty" or "live to old age in beauty." Healing is an essential part of this never-ending journey and cycle through generations and time, as we constantly seek to restore balance and harmony—hózhǫ́—in all things within and around us.

The largest aircraft of the world's fastest and more
• The largest aircraft of the world more and fastest
Stratolaunch project became one of the most ambitious in recent years.
Stratolaunch the aircraft set a new speed record. Not far off is the time when the machine will begin to display dvuhfyuzelezhnaya rocket into orbit. Recent tests ambitious vehicle were successful.
A huge Stratolaunch will carry missiles.
The American company Stratolaunch Systems, which created the airplane with the largest wingspan, conducted a series of tests of its creation, and has set a new speed record, albeit, not quite normal. The tests took place even 24-25 February 2018. In the framework of their aircraft was tested with already fully assembled glider. The machine made a series of runs on the runway. It should be recalled that it "runs" are one of the most important stages of testing of any aircraft. Through it passes each aircraft of this type, before he can get off the ground and up in the sky.
For a long time the world has not seen anything like Stratolaunch.
During the flight test runs at various speeds, including at a speed that exceeds the speed at the moment of take-off of the front of the chassis. We need all of these tests in the first place to assess the performance of engines and aircraft control systems. His first run Stratolaunch began to carry out in December-the month, but then he was not fully assembled. For example, in its structure no leading edge in the region of the engines. The fully assembled aircraft not only successfully coped with the task, but also set a record for speed on the strip so it was able to overclock up to 74 km / h.
For Stratolaunch need a big band.
It should be recalled that Stratolaunch dvuhfyuzelyazhnomu made on principle. Swipe machines of the wing is 117.3 meters. Length - 72.5 meters. Aircraft weight is 225.8 tons for a maximum take-off mass can reach 589.7 tons. In order to allow the machine off the ground, it is necessary to strip the length of 3.7 kilometers. Use airplane want to launches into orbit small rockets with a payload.
Main feature Stratolaunch - its engine system.
An important feature Stratolaunch are motors. Each power unit has its own control system, the tank and the fuel supply system. This separation is done to improve the reliability of the machine. It is expected that the first public demonstration of the aircraft took place in May of that year. The first demonstration flight with a loaded carrier rocket is scheduled for the next 2019.

A New Jersey jury on Wednesday cleared the company of liability in a lawsuit filed by a person. The person alleged that asbestos in the company's talc-based products, including baby powder, caused his mesothelioma. The jury delivered its unanimous verdict in Middlesex County Superior Court in New Brunswick, in the case of plaintiff Ricardo Rimondi.
The company faces some 13,000 talc-related lawsuits nationwide. J&J denied the allegations by saying that numerous studies and tests by regulators worldwide have shown its talc to be safe and asbestos-free.
J&J on Wednesday also settled three other mesothelioma talc cases pending in state courts in California, Oklahoma and New York.

Oncor Electric Delivery (TXU) needs your help to quickly restore service following power outages.
Before the power goes out, have a flashlight ready and make sure the number for reporting outages is easy to locate. Your electric bill lists the number to dial to report outages. Put the number in an easy to find place, on the refrigerator or better yet, program it into your home phone speed dial or your cell phone.
Don't rely on your neighbors or friends to report an outage. Oncor depends on telephone calls from consumers to help pinpoint the size and location of extended power outages. Help Oncor help you. Please call whenever your power is out.
If you see a downed power line, leave the area and call 9-1-1. In addition to the downed line potentially being electrified, anything touching the power line, such as a tree branch, could also be electrified.
Do not touch the power line or anything else that is touching it. It may not look dangerous, but it could still be energized and therefore possibly deadly. Keep pets, children and others away from the area, too.
If a power line falls across your vehicle, call 9-1-1 and stay put until help arrives. Your tires provide important insulation from electric current. Stepping from your car could make you part of a complete electric circuit, resulting in electric shock or even death.

Morgan Stanley, Citi and JPMorgan are under scrutiny for hiring the scions of foreign officials. Making job offers just to gain government business can amount to bribery. But connections are a virtue, as long as they're combined with experience and other solid qualifications.
U.S. watchdogs are investigating Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and JPMorgan for their hiring practices in China and other Asian nations, according to Reuters. The probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department centers on whether the employment of government officials' relatives and other politically connected individuals violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

The symptoms and complications from polycythemia vera can affect your abilities in several ways. If you cannot work because of your condition, you may be eligible for Social Security disability for polycythemia vera. This could include Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The team from Berger and Green understands how difficult it can be to live with polycythemia vera. We know you need disability benefits and can help you apply. Let us evaluate your application, file your claim, and handle your appeal if you already received a denial notice. Call us today at 412-661-1400 for your free case review with a member of our team in Pittsburgh.
The Social Security Administration publishes a list of qualifying impairments and the criteria you must meet to get benefits based on your diagnosis or impairment. This list, known as The Blue Book, references polycythemia vera in Section 7.00 – Hematological Disorders.
If you suffer from impairments related to your polycythemia vera, you may want to discuss your disability application with your doctor. Getting approved for these benefits requires having the right medical evidence in your records. When it comes time to apply, Berger and Green can ensure the right information about your medical providers is on your claim, and the Office of Disability Determination Services knows who to contact to get access to your records.
If the disability examiner determines you cannot work your last job or another job you might qualify for, you may be eligible for benefits. You could also be eligible for benefits if you can work but require accommodations to do so.
Let us review your disability application before you file your claim, and we may be able to help you avoid a technical denial. While many people focus on ensuring they have the right medical evidence and can prove their impairment, it is equally important to ensure you meet the technical qualifications of the program for which you are applying.
These and other relatively minor mistakes can trigger a technical denial. Call our team today at 412-661-1400 to set up your free application review and let us help you file your claim.
The Social Security Administration approves less than half of the initial claims filed by disabled Americans. For this reason, many people need help navigating the appeals process and fighting for the benefits they need and deserve. If you received a denial notice, you only have 60 days to act. Call or text us right away at 412-661-1400 to get started.
It can take a year or longer between the time we request a hearing on your behalf and the date we go before an Administrative Law Judge to argue your case. During this time, our team is available to answer any questions you have, address your concerns, and help you understand what to expect during the appeals process.
If your polycythemia vera complications or symptoms prevent you from working your Pittsburgh job, you may qualify for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration. We can review your claim before you apply, help you file, and file your appeal if they already denied your initial application.
If you suffer from impairments that occurred as a result of an accident, we may also be able to help you build a strong case and file a personal injury lawsuit to hold the responsible party liable. This could help you get additional compensation.

Latest Steelers Buzz
Prosecutors announce Ben Roethlisberger won't face sexual assault charges; DA says Ben needs to grow up
Monday, April 12, 2010 / by William DePaoli / / Pittsburgh Steelers / 0 comments
District Attorney Fred Bright announced at a press conference shortly after 2:00 p.m. that no charges will be brought against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Mr. Bright said the case is closed and that the accuser and her family sent a letter to investigators on March 17, that they did not want to press charges but their decision didn't have an impact on prosecutors electing not to press charges.
The accuser told investigators that it had been an "unnerving experience."
However, Bright says "significant questions" still persist about what happened between Roethlisberger and the victim inside a bathroom at the club. Mr. Bright indicated that sexual assault accusations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and there wasn't probable cause for an arrest.
Bright came off as a prosecutor who thought something happened that shouldn't have happened but there just wasn't enough evidence to prosecute in court as he mentioned on more than a few occasions that "too much" alcohol was involved for both parties.
Bright said he did not condone Roethlisberger's actions but said "we do not prosecute morals….we prosecute crimes." Mr. Bright said that if he was advising Roethlisberger he would tell him to be a role model and that it's time to "grow up."
The investigation revealed that the accuser was heavily intoxicated when she met Roethlisberger.
A hospital report revealed that the alleged victim had a laceration, bruising and bleeding in her gentile area but doctors could not say for sure whether a rape happened.
Mr. Bright indicated that the victim did not suffer a head injury according to evaluations by doctors, which didn't backup Ben Roethlisberger's brief statement who told police that he saw the victim fall and hit her head.
Prosecutors said it would have been helpful to speak to Roethlisberger on his version of what happened in that bathroom.
Roethlisberger is unscathed by the law but the Steelers or the NFL could still come down on Roethlisberger. The NFL conducted their own investigation and what they revealed could play a factor in a possible suspension for Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell this week.

Flight Plan from Legendary Apollo 13 Mission to be Auctioned
Posted by Michael in History, Space & Aviation
David Szondy reports: Apollo 11 was one of the great milestones in human exploration, and Apollo 13 was one of the most dramatic episodes. The flight plan used aboard the Apollo 13 Command Module wasn't just along for the ride, it played a central role in this drama and now it's up for auction as part of Sotheby's Space Exploration sale. The loose-leaf binder not only includes instructions for the crew, but hastily scribbled notes used as the astronauts struggled to survive the return journey to Earth after their spacecraft was damaged.
Launched on April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 was the seventh manned Apollo mission and the third planned landing on the lunar surface. Unfortunately, that landing never occurred because while en route to the Moon on April 17, an explosion in one of the cryogenic oxygen tanks crippled the Service Module that acted as the propulsion and main support system for the Odyssey Command Module.

It was a remarkable story that was adapted to film more than once. The flight plan, contrary to Ron Howard's movie Apollo 13, survived the mission and was signed by the crew before being presented as a momento to Turnage Robert "Bob" Lindsey, the Lead Flight Planner for Apollo 13.
The flight plan not only includes the detailed list of instructions for the crew as planned out for them before launch, but also penciled notes made by the three astronauts as they worked with mission control to solve the problems of rationing water, making sure the air remained breathable, computing the homeward trajectory, and even how to separate the Command Module and Lander without the Service Module's thrusters … (read more)

Paintings – 2015
Drawings & Ideas
May Diary
I haven't been to as many exhibitions as usual in May because of so much art seen last month in Germany, so I'll include some more Cologne & Dusseldorf art in this diary.
Back in London we went to the Victoria Miro Gallery to see a show called 'Surface Work' – its title from a quote by Joan Mitchell who said 'Abstract is not a style. I simply want to make a surface work'. The handout says the exhibition reflects the way in which women have been at the heart of abstract art's development over the past century. I particularly liked Helen Frankenthaler. There were so few women artists In the 60's and she was one I became aware of when I was doing my fine art degree at Coventry School of Art. In our final year we followed, & were influenced by, Abstract Expressionism and in particular the New York School of painters. So in this exhibition it was a shame only one of Frankenthaler's was on show, done in 1959 & called 'Winter Figure with Black Overhead'. She was known for her soak-stain technique of painting – pouring thin paint directly onto raw unprimed canvas laid on the floor, this eventually to be known as the Colour Field School of painting with such artists as Morris Louis & Kenneth Noland (see images with this month's diary).
The next exhibition we had particularly wanted to see, a favourite artist of ours – Christian Boltanski at the Marion Goodman Gallery. Called 'Ephemeres' (Mayflies), we entered through a printed veiled passage called 'The Crossing of Life', about his personal memories.Then into a room of torn suspended veils documenting the fleeting lifespan of the mayfly. In the downstairs galleries were two beautiful film pieces, reminding me & giving me a similar feeling I get with Bill Viola's films – such peace and quiet and an inward feeling of how transitory one's life is. The first video installation called 'Amitas' (Blank), made in a bleak snowscape of Ile d'Orleans, Quebec. The other, 'Animitas' (Small Souls), created in the extreme conditions of Chile's remote Atacama Desert. Anima meaning soul and animitas the Chilean meaning for 'roadside shrine'. Each video showed hundreds of small Japanese bells with plexiglas tags attached to tall stems planted in the ground, the chiming bells creating eulogies for lost human souls. Upstairs an extremely large video installation called 'Misterios' showed the rocky uninhabited coast of Bahia Bustamante in Patagonia. Three colossal trumpets generated a sound similar to that of whale song when the sea winds pass through them. I preferred the two smaller installations.
Also visited that day Sadie Coles Gallery. How strange to see an artist Wilhelm Sasnal using similiar historical art reference to me. Born in Poland, he mixed present day reality and memory with art history.
Art from German museums that I loved but did not show in my last diary:
Ludwig Museum, Cologne Duane Hanson

April Diary
Lots to write about this month, with our trip to Cologne to see some of my favourite artists' work. But first, before Cologne, we visited exhibitions in London.
The Wellcome Collection to see 'Ayurvedic Man: Encounters With Indian medicine'. A fascinating exhibition in which I loved the gouache paintings in particular.
I hadn't heard of the American artist Eric Fischl, but my husband knew of him and as this was his first London show I wanted to see it. What a surprise – first a beautiful gallery space, the Skarstedt in Bennet Street, St James. (another gallery I could easily live in!). I really loved the work, the handout explains that Fischl likes to freeze the moment of suburban life, leaving the onlooker to decide what has or is happening or about to happen! Large canvases with wonderful brush marks & paint used so confidently, it was so good to stand and take the experience in.
Next to the Royal Academy to see 'Charles 1 King and Collector'. Very crowded! Looking at paintings four people deep is not the way to appreciate them. But what a collection the King had – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Durer, etc. It was also fascinating to see what the King paid for them…a shame I didn't make a note of the prices. I liked two paintings by Hans Holbein the younger of Charles 1st and the other of Anne Cresacre. Another by Anthony van Dyke of Charles V with his dog. In another a wonderful interpretation of dress fabrics in Queen Henrietta and Jeffery Hudson. Sadly, with blockbuster shows, the major London galleries are often no longer enjoyable to visit.
On the 11th April, one of my favourite artists sadly died – Gillian Ayres. I have managed to see most of her London exhibitions and I have lots of her catalogues. It has always been a joy to see her love of colour, dancing shapes and brush marks which make me feel so happy. I will really miss her.
Now for our trip to Cologne to see so many of my favourite paintings. Where to begin….we visited three museums. Museum Ludwig in Cologne. Kunst Sammalung in Dusseldorf. and Kunstmuseum in Bonn.
Ernst Kirchner Alexej Von Jawlensky
August Macke Franz Marc
Francis Picabia Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso Paul Klee
Pierre Bonnard Henri Matisse
Wassily Kandinsky Natalia Goncharova
Max Beckmann Jean Dubuffet
Ernst Wilhelm Nay Gerhard Richter
Arman George Segal
Antoni Tapies Marisol
Cologne was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Germany during World War II, reducing the population by 95% and destroying almost the entire city. The resulting post-war rebuilding is extremely mixed, not attractive at all and somewhat brutal. The Cathedral was badly damaged but it remained standing in an otherwise flattened city. It's the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe & has the second tallest twin spires. While we were there the exterior was being cleaned and it desperately needed it, looking so black – I guess from pollution. Inside there is a beautiful modern stained glass window by Gerhard Richter and while we were there, with such good weather, the sun shining through created a colourful 'carpet'. on the floor.
We visited the Cologne art Fair, but didn't enjoy this at all. We felt that viewing art as if in a market on unending white screens took away the artists ideas and it all became as if one, with the galleries seeming more important than the 'art'.
It was a good trip & I would highly recommend going away by train. It's hard to believe once on the train at St Pancras we were in our rented Cologne apartment 4 hours later.
March Diary
The first exhibition visited was at the Simon Lee Gallery, to see Michelangelo Pistoletto's silkscreens on super polished stainless steel. I have grown to like his work, initially finding my image in his mirrors unsettling, but this is Pistoletto's idea, drawing the viewer and the environment into the work creating a virtual space where both interact. In this show he has taken his idea further with industrial storage units laden with tools showing different trades with more emphasis on the static object.
We next went to a Rene Magritte exhibition at the Luxembourg & Dayan gallery, a large house in Savile Row where an attendant unlocked a door on the first floor, explaining there was no photography. While we looked at the work, he stood on guard! A strange experience as we were the only two in the gallery. I was not familiar with any of Magritte's early work done when he was in Paris in 1927-30 taking part in the activities of the French Surrealists circle. I really enjoyed it, as it seemed more serious and less jokey than his later work. The blurb explained it being to do with semantics, hence the title 'Rene Magritte (Or: The Rule Of Metaphor)'.
Spruth Magers gallery was next to see Anthony McCall, someone my husband met years ago when in New York. He had warned me I possibly wouldn't enjoy the show (he was right, I am not a lover of shows in darkened rooms, Bill Viola the exception). When in this darkened basement room, again unlocked by an attendant who came in with us, I felt extremely disorientated besides a projected light creating partial ellipses at different speeds expanding and contracting. There was also a cold mist haze machine in operation. The notes encourage visitors to manipulate the changing light by physically passing through it. This was not for me, I passed and left!
Next was Hauser & Wirth gallery and Matthew Day Jackson. I didn't like the work at all at first, finding the silkscreen imagery on formica very slick and unpleasant. On further looking, especially close up, the effects were fascinating. Different qualities of textures had been created using lots of materials together. This series of still life paintings, so the blurb read, are direct representations of Jan Brueghel the Elder and Younger's genre-defining series of flower paintings from the 16th & 17th centuries. Unfortunately I found the overall effect too manufactured and couldn't spend enough time fathoming out the total idea.
Lorna Simpson, also showing at Hauser & Wirth, was interesting, her work was to do with the representation of identity gender and race, using painting, photography, collage and sculpture. I best liked her ice blocks made of glass – underneath were stacks of Ebony and Jet magazines, distorting the cover images of women. Something I learned from her work was that the expression to be 'on ice' is to do with being in prison. No more exhibitions were visited this month.
Having what I think has been a block with my own work, trying out different subject-matter, at last I have gone back to my love of various paintings of the 20th century & I have started to paint again.
Aside of my gallery visits & my painting, I have always enjoyed writing and poetry. Throughout my childhood I remember poetry books belonging to my parents. My father liking Rupert Brooke, typical of many men during the 2nd world war. My mother's being 'The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam', a beautiful book she had with hand painted illustrations. Her favourite lines were, 'The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on' which she could recite, as she could with so many poems that she was taught at school.
At art school in the 60's, along with my student friends, we really enjoyed the Beat Poets. I particularly liked Alan Ginsberg, Frank O'Hara and Jack Kerouac.
My husband recently gave me a book of Langston Hughes, who I didn't know of. This is one of so many I like called 'Heaven':
Heaven is
The place where
And birds sing –
As does
To each stone
"How-do-you-do?"
Stone answers back,
" Well! And you?"
Having never had any poetry tuition, I have so wanted to express thoughts I have had, & this is me having a go with 'For Mr Klee':
Lines of colour
Maths and more
A Puppet yet
Death's at the door.
All for Felix
Dots and Dashes
Mosaics Italian
Tunisian splashes.
So the end of my March Journal with clocks gone forward, here's to a lovely spring & summer.
February Diary
What a good month for art exhibitions, making me realise how fortunate I am to live in London and to be able to visit shows so easily.
The first show we visited this month was the National Gallery and Edgar Degas's drawings and pastels on loan from the Glasgow Burrell collection. Sir William Burrell collected Degas's work throughout his life. This show was beautifully presented in quiet dark rooms, with very few people giving me lots of time to think about the work: the different cross hatching effects, the lushness of the rich pastel. It was almost possible to feel the satin and net of the ballet costumes. None of his dancers posed and it was interesting to see jockeys and tired women in workhouses. While at the National Gallery we couldn't resist visiting the permanent collection. We chose the rooms showing Berthe Morisot's 'Girl on a Divan', 'Madame Matisse au Kimono' by Andre Derain, 'The Forest at Fontainbleu' by Henri Matisse. An artist I wasn't familiar with was Vilhelm Hammershoi – such a moody 'Interior', so mysterious & memorable.

Henri Matisse Vilhelm Hammershoi
We decided to see various exhibitions that looked interesting. The first was Hans Hartung at the Simon Lee Gallery – such beautiful colour and texture. He had had a dramatic sad life, having to flee Germany as he was classed a 'degenerate' by the Nazis, his work at that time being Cubist – a movement incompatible with German Ideals. While in the Foreign Legion he lost a leg fighting in North Africa. At the gallery there is a very moving video of him in later life in a wheelchair painting with an air brush, an assistant changing the paint for him. This technique, along with non-traditional tools, olive branches, garden hoses, etc. were how he achieved the fascinating effects.
Next we went to the Spruth Magers Gallery to see 'Kauffman, Judd and Morris'. I didn't know Craig Kauffman's work but really loved his use of colour – very seductive & a little like a perspex/plastic Rothko. Because the sun was shining into the gallery the shadows on Kauffman's and Donald Judd's works were so pretty and magical.
Craig Kauffman & Donald Judd
We went on to the Alan Cristea Gallery to see Sol LeWitt, but were passing the Tornabuoni Gallery showing Piero Dorazio which looked extremely colourful. We decided to have a look – he had spent time in New York associating with the abstract expressionists Motherwell, De Kooning and Newman, all great favourites of mine. Sadly Derazio's work didn't attract me in the same way. I found his colour very raw and in some works quite crude.
At Alan Cristea, being much more used to LeWitt's room installations, I was a little disappointed in this exhibition of his prints. For me they lacked drama and didn't have the same impact. Also at the gallery were black and white prints by Richard Sierra which I really liked – lots of processes using paint sticks, pigment, linseed oil and melted wax.
Finally to the Thomas Dane Gallery to see Phillip King's 'Colour on Fire'. This was so impressive – a large perforated geometric sculpture in vibrant contrasting and competing colours against different coloured gallery walls. This installation was happy and uplifting, something to enjoy unlike our country and the world at the moment.
Philip King
Another day when in the West End, we couldn't resist when passing the Atlas Gallery to check out the show of iconic black and white photos by Mark Riboud, Henri Cartier-Bresson to name two. A really well selected show.
Mark Riboud Henri Cartier-Bresson
We also saw that day Edwina Leapman at the Annely Juda Gallery. I have a problem with minimal art, which is strange as that is the sort of environment I ideally would love to live in. But anyway, I do like the delicacy and I understand the process, but this particular show lacked impact for me, a little too understated. Also at the gallery was Roger Ackling who uses a magnifying glass with the sun to sear freehand lines across found pieces of wood. An interesting idea but the imagery I found very simplistic. I so wanted to see more – I guess I felt the idea had taken over from what was being done, but perhaps the process was more important.
Edwina Leapman
Roger Ackling
We were invited to Yvonne Crossley's private view at the Chelsea Arts Club. Walking through the front door was like going back into how I imagine a 40's drinking club, quite an old fashioned feel to the place. I think Yvonne had the best exhibition space. I liked her large wire figures, made up of lots of overlaid netting.
Yvonne Crossley
To finish February, what a treat. Christie's and Sotheby's wonderful sales of impressionist and surreal art. These places are my favourite as, all on your own, you can get as close to the art as when the artist did it. Sometimes it's hard to believe the painting you are in front of – a Picasso or Matisse selling for many millions of pounds. Another point about viewing days at these sales rooms, you aren't aware of someone having chosen what you are looking at, there is no curating of the work. Often when reading reviews of popular art exhibitions it's irritating that the curator seems be as important as the work on show. There are now curating courses at art schools. I don't get it – I just want to see the art. If someone has a strong view about a collection – write about it in the catalogue or exhibition notes.
We first visited the Rockefeller Collection at Christie's. What money and taste this couple had. A collection beyond belief, every room in their house with mouthwatering pieces. To name a few (so many favourites of mine): Picasso, Matisse, Lebasque, Monet, Vlaminck, Schiele, Van Dongen, Rouault, Jawlensky, Degas, Dufy and so many more. I have no words to describe what I saw. Speaking with a saleswoman, she asked if I was enjoying the viewing. I said I definitely was, especially as so many of the works I'd never seen as they had been in private collections, to which she replied once they were sold I'd never see them again.
Henri Matisse Egon Schiele
Claude Monet Marie Laurencin
We finally went to Sotheby's where their impressionist sale, although enjoyable, didn't seem as strong as Christie's. It would be difficult to match the Rockefeller Collection.
Pablo Picasso Marc Chagall
Jean Dufy & Raoul Dufy Joan Miro
I want to finish by saying how disappointed I am that, looking forward to going to the newly opened Hayward Gallery to see what seemed an interesting Andreas Gursky show, I was shocked to discover that a single ticket cost £14.50 & I was advised to book for a further £2.50, and no concessions.
So a great month for art, but not for weather. We are experiencing the coldest February since 2009, the country covered in snow and Storm Emma on it's way, with the media giving constant updates. I can't wait for the clocks going forward next month.
Our back garden.

January Diary
January 2018.
New Year's Day and, wanting to get out after all the festivities of Christmas, we walked to Tate Britain to see 'Impressionists in London French Artists in Exile 1870-1900'. A fascinating exhibition. Besides learning a lot about the Franco-Prussian war, which was so dreadful, with each side losing 100,000 people and later around 20,000 more women & children. The show was of the artists who fled to London. James Tissot stayed as a stretcher bearer in the National Guard. His very beautiful painting 'The Wounded Soldier', a soldier with his arm in a sling, seemed to me to portray the mindlessness of war. Another painting by Claude Monet, 'Meditation (Madame Monet Sitting on a Sofa)', I looked at for some time, fully imagining sitting beside her – its atmosphere created quietness & contemplation. Camille Pissarro's paintings of South London, fascinating as they are all areas we are familiar with. Monet's paintings of a foggy Thames and a painting I have always loved because of it's heightened colour is Andre Derain's 'Charing Cross Bridge'.
Having recently watched a programme about the gallery owner Paul Durand-Ruel, I learnt that because of his supporting these artists, we have so much to thank him for as, unlike those who ridiculed these artists at the time, he saw something he really liked which means we have these painting to enjoy today.
James Tissot Claude Monet
Camille Pissarro Andre Derain
Our second trip out to galleries.
'Basquiat Boom' at the Barbican. Not a building I enjoy going to – so vast, brutal and unattractive. Once inside I was annoyed, as were others, that I couldn't take my handbag into the show & had to carry my purse/credit cards around by hand. Once inside the show we may as well have been in a school playground, the noise and out of control children so distracting. I could only think Basquiat's childlike imagery and graffiti had parents thinking their children would relate to it. In fairness some did seem to be looking quite intently, but the majority were obviously bored. Basquiat is self-taught, and there is a freedom to his mark-making and colour. Lots of social and political references and his love of boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, jazz musicians Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and many more. His collaborative paintings with Andy Warhol I didn't respond to, finding them very contrived & lacking the spontaneity of his own work. How sad someone showing so much commitment and enthusiasm to his work died at such an early age of 27.
Jean'Michel Basquiat
Our third trip out to exhibitions.
'Aspects of German Art' at the Ben Brown Gallery. I particularly liked Max Beckman's work. It's not attractive and quite frightening, depicting life in the First and Second World Wars, the rise of Nazism, his exile in Amsterdam and finally his emigration to the U.S.A. Exaggerated dark, distorted human features, strong colour, extremely personal and memorable. Also Sigmar Polke – he showed lots of experimentation with materials and processes, especially with colour, using stains, blemishes, pigments, solvents and resins. Looking at his work I get a feeling he so enjoyed the act of creating. Finally I liked Albert Oehlen. I enjoy the processes he seems to be able to show, I find myself not looking at the finished work but fascinated by various close-up textures and effects, possibly because of my years of textile designing.
Albert Oehlen, Sigmar Polke & Max Beckman
What we had really come to see today was Peter Doig at the Michael Werner Gallery, an artist who seems to be revered by so many art critics. Thinking I must be missing something, I keep hoping to be convinced. The gallery is yet another private Georgian house in Mayfair. I cannot imagine why such a place would be suitable for an art exhibition of this style and size – the rooms so distracting to the work. Once we had managed to open the ridiculously heavy door we were confronted by a woman instructing us which rooms we could enter. Sitting the other side of her desk were two women embroidering with their coloured silks in a line on the desk…. was this part of the exhibition? It's hard to know these days! Inside the first room, what a shock to see so many visitors. I have so many mixed views on the work. Doig now lives in Trinidad and his work, according to the notes, covers personal memories, photography and historical paintings. In some of the works I like the gestural marks he makes, but find the results too busy as if it cannot be resolved and he's given up dissatisfied. Apparently some of it is meant to be dreamlike, but I have always had problems with dreams as subject matter. My final thoughts are that something's missing (which in many of the paintings is the feet!). If I had to pick one of his paintings that held my interest and liked, it would be of his Trinidadian friend Emheyo whom he shared a studio with. We left the Gallery with the embroidery being packed away – we will never know if this was part of the show, somehow I think not.
On the 18th of this month we celebrated our 11th anniversary with a lunch at the River Cafe. I should add we have been together for 51 years, quite a record – thank you Tony for your patience.
