Do you go out of your way to say 'hello' or 'good morning' etc to a passer by in the street.
I'm not the most upfront or forward person in the world but I do know that I find it hard to walk past someone without trying to give some sort of greeting to them.
I'm not talking about walking past someone in a busy London street or in the foyer of a pop concert hall, I'm more talking about when you pass someone in your small town or village while walking on the pavement as you pass each other by when there's not many other people around.
Just like waving to acknowledge a car driver when they have stopped for you to let you pass I believe where you were brought up and where you live now has a lot to do whether you will or not give out a small greeting or thank you gesture.
For example I've worked on the Isle of Islay and every car driver waves at you to say hello as you drive past, while in the village where I now live sometimes you can tell if someone has lived elsewhere simply if they do or don't do these greeting or thank you gestures.
Going for an early Sunday morning walk like I did today is a prime time to see how many people will say hello to you. This time is when you are more than likely to receive a response.
Every time I walk past someone in a relatively quiet street I always raise my head or glance towards the person to try and say hello or good morning to them but it still amazes me how many people 'of all ages' just don't glance back in your direction so the hello interaction can never begin.
Don't get me wrong as I approach these people I will likely have my head lowered and nose buried in my iPhone working away and responding to emails but I feel awkward and wrong if when people approach to pass me if I dont raise my head and glance at them to see if they look towards me so the opportunity to say hello to each other can take place.
Is a simple kindness greeting too much to ask for in this situation?

The Haptic Clock is a small clock program for Java powered mobile phones. The clock conveys time through a sequence of vibrations so you never have to pull the phone out of your pocket to tell time. The idea behind it was to create a clock that would train my body to understand time better.
Long vibrations are the number of hours of the current time on a 12 hour clock, so 6pm and 6am are both 6 vibrations. The shorter vibrations are the number of minutes divided by 5. So 4 vibrations is 20 minutes and 7 vibrations is 35 minutes. Example: (3) long vibrations and (6) short vibrations means it's 3:30. Just in case you do want to see the time, the screen displays the time with tick marks for hours, minutes and seconds.
Instructions: Press to vibrate the current time. Press '0' to exit program. UP and DOWN to control the speed of vibrations. Time alerts (vibrations) will occur automatically every 0, 15, 30, 45 minutes on the hour as long as the program is running. Press any key to vibrate the current time. Move the joystick to change options. Options include vibration speed and vibration frequency (time between automated vibration time alerts).
Beta means it may not work on your phone or worse, may break your phone. Install and use at your own risk.
Issues: J2ME drains the batteries. Looking for ways around it, or a more efficient platform.


We're pleased to be working with South Bank BID, offering them comprehensive renewal support via Ballot Buddy. Working closely with the British BIDs team, South Bank BID will further benefit from planning, modelling, policy, research and communications support.
South Bank is one of London's most dynamic neighbourhoods: the cultural heart of London and one of the city's leading destinations. It's home to the Coca Cola London Eye and many other attractions, but it's also an area that is growing in importance for a range of businesses and employers. The BID area incorporates two Local Authorities: Lambeth and Southwark. We look forward to working closely with the South Bank team as we start the journey with them ahead of their June 2019 ballot.
Commenting on this appointment, Chief Executive of British BIDs, Chris Turner said: "British BIDs has been working with South Bank for several years now, with a number of students on the CIBM and membership of the National BIDs Advisory Board. It is therefore really terrific that we are now able to work with them on their renewal ballot by way of our Ballot Buddy service. The South Bank has a long track record of business engagement going back many years and they are a major part of the London environment; it will be a privilege to work with them."


January 21, 2014 proved to be one of those snowy winter days when no one could get around on the roads except for the US postal workers, and in the early afternoon the dog and I met the mailman on one of our walks. He delivered to me Speakeasy Man, Rachel Baiman's newly released CD and the next hour was spent absorbing the new music and some hot cocoa in front of the fireplace.
This CD was one of several Kickstarter projects that Tim and I have backed, and as has been our experience with the others, we were extremely pleased with the sound of the final product. Half of the recording took place in Scotland and half in Nashville. Rachel brought together some amazing talent for the foundation of this album including Dave Goldenberg (mandolin), Andrew Small (upright bass), Matheu Watson (guitar, mandola, vocals), Dan Watkins ( guitar), Signy Jakobsdottir (percussion) and Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle).
The songs are a mixture of originals and covers; my favorite cover being the best version of Blind Lemon Jefferson's See That My Grave is Kept Clean that I have heard. A few guest appearances on individual songs include the great Nathaniel Smith on cello (Natalie MacMaster, Jeremy Kittel, and Sarah Jarosz), Shelby Means on bass and backing vocals (Della Mae), Phil Cunningham on accordion and Brittany Haas on fiddle.
Rachel will be at Chestnut House Concerts on Friday, April 4, 2014 along with Christian Sedelmyer performing as 10 String Symphony. 10 String Symphony released their first album in November 2012, their instrumentation has expanded from 2 5-string fiddles to include the occasional clawhammer banjo and resonator mandolin, though still maintaining a stripped down, tightly woven and carefully arranged duo sound. They are on tour with Tattletale Saints from New Zealand and each band will take a set and also play a few songs as a 4 piece.
Potluck at 6 pm, Show at 7 pm. To save a seat for the show, contact Tim at tlehman9@gmail.com or call/text 717-940-9311.


This fine mahogany Tiffany mantle clock is one of the largest in this style that we have ever seen.
It measures 29 inches wide and 13.75 inches tall and 8 inches deep. The ends of the case are carved with scroll work, and the front of the clock has inset panels giving the clock an unusually distinguished and impressive look.
This clock's movement is of excellent quality, as expected of a Tiffany & Co. item. With this movement, you have the ability to chose what chime melody you would like it to play on every quarter hour. Westminster on four of its heavy gongs with hammers, or the Carrington on all six gongs with hammers.
This is controlled by the lever on the left hand side of the dial, the lever on the right hand side will silence all chiming if so desired (e.g. during night or sleeping hours).
The silvered dial with solid brass numerals is in good condition with some wear evident around the winding hole. A heavy piece of beveled glass with solid brass bezel covers the dial.

DSM offers global nutrition insights from leading experts in new book
Kaiseraugst, CH, 20 Oct 2016 10:00 CEST
A DSM and Sight and Life Foundation-led editorial board has launched a new book to provide the latest perspectives on the nutrition challenges that are now common to all societies worldwide. It argues that the case for good nutrition for all people, in all parts of the globe and throughout the entire life-cycle, is growing stronger and includes contributions from some of the world's most influential and respected experts in the field.
'Good Nutrition: Perspectives for the 21st Century' explores the economics of nutrition and malnutrition and discusses a wide range of tried and tested, evidence-based approaches and interventions that can improve the nutritional status of the general population as well as at-risk groups. From topics such as consumer food choices to ensuring good nutrition for vulnerable population groups, a range of experts from diverse organizations have contributed insights.
'Good Nutrition: Perspectives for the 21st Century', builds on a previous publication, 'The Road to Good Nutrition', which was awarded first prize in the health and social care category of the British Medical Association (BMA) annual medical book awards. "However, this book differs from its predecessor in two essential respects," comments Prof. Manfred Eggersdorfer, Senior Vice President, Nutrition Science and Advocacy at DSM Nutritional Products. "Firstly, it is set firmly within the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were officially ushered in on 1 January 2016. Secondly, it pays attention to both the developed and the developing world. As a result, it juxtaposes the nutrition challenges of different world regions in order to highlight the differences in nutrition status as well as the many problems that are now common to populations across the globe."
Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme, adds: "This book collects some of our brightest minds and best ideas but, in addition, it represents one of the most precious ingredients for our success in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: the global sharing of knowledge, innovation and creativity."
'Good Nutrition' will appeal to the general reader seeking a comprehensive overview of this complex and rapidly evolving field, and will also provide inspiration for the specialist wishing to pursue a specific avenue of investigation with the help of an experienced and trustworthy guide.
The publication has been developed as part of DSM's ongoing work to raise awareness of the importance of improved nutrition amongst key stakeholders globally and will be launched initially at the CFS43: Plenary of the UN Committee on World Food Security. The full text of Good Nutrition: Perspectives for the 21st Century may be downloaded here.
Sight and Life Foundation
Sight and Life Foundation (www.sightandlife.org) is a humanitarian nutrition think tank supported by DSM which envisions a world free from malnutrition. Its focus lies on implementation research and leadership development, in order to empower organizations and individuals to deliver smart solutions. Sight and Life believes that, through understanding context, co-created tailored innovations and solutions can be generated.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! "Powerful . . . A twisting tale of love, loss, and dark family secrets." — Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water A poignant and suspenseful drama that untangles the complicated ties binding three women—two sisters and their mother—in one Chinese immigrant family and explores what happens when the eldest daughter disappears, and a series of family secrets emerge, from the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Translation It begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her dying grandmother—and then vanishes. Amy, the sheltered baby of the Lee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by a distant relative in a faraway, foreign place, and didn't rejoin her family in America until age nine. Timid and shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister, the fierce and fearless protector who showered her with unconditional love. But what happened to Sylvie? Amy and her parents are distraught and desperate for answers. Sylvie has always looked out for them. Now, it's Amy's turn to help. Terrified yet determined, Amy retraces her sister's movements, flying to the last place Sylvie was seen. But instead of simple answers, she discovers something much more valuable: the truth. Sylvie, the golden girl, kept painful secrets . . . secrets that will reveal more about Amy's complicated family—and herself—than she ever could have imagined. A deeply moving story of family, secrets, identity, and longing, Searching for Sylvie Lee is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive portrait of an immigrant family. It is a profound exploration of the many ways culture and language can divide us and the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone—especially those we love. "This is a true beach read!

Nothing could be further than the truth, of course.
Thanks to the Panama Canal, this has long been a destination for international business. So Panama has always focused more on its business infrastructure than on luring vacationers.
Here, everything from the roads to the fiber optics is developed and rock solid. You can get reliable, high-speed Internet nearly anywhere. I work out of my home, and I never have to worry about staying connected. I have a wireless Internet connection strong enough to power two computers and two tablets (and possibly more). It costs me about $25 a month.
Your banker and Panama attorney will likely speak English and have lots of experience dealing with international clients. The government is business-friendly and foreigners are accorded much the same rights as locals. And if you plan to offer "professional services"…like business consulting or customer service training…you may not even need to set up a corporation or get any kind of local permit or license.
There are plenty of benefits for big business…Special Economic Areas with added tax incentives, a strategic location, logistics infrastructure, and so on. It's why so many of the world's biggest multinationals—companies like Dell, Caterpillar, and 3M—chose Panama for their regional headquarters.
But Panama makes perfect sense for small, cottage enterprises, too. New expat residents get inspired by how easy it is. Often, these are people who had planned to take it easy and retire. But instead, they end up spotting a niche or seizing an opportunity to supplement their income.
Expat entrepreneur Eric Theise saw an opportunity to open a casual little bar. A premises became available near his Panama City home, and Mojitos sin Mojitos was born. He had no bartending experience…so why did he take the plunge? It wasn't a huge financial risk.
North Carolina native Elizabeth Worley turned her 11-acre farm in the Chiriqui highlands into a moneymaker. Today, Finca Luz, Cloud Forest Coffee & Medicinal Plant Farm offers tours and sells products—coffee, skin care products, herbal tinctures—made right on the farm.
From a business perspective, it wasn't all that hard to do. "Panama is a great place with excellent infrastructure, but one of the greatest things about it is that it's still very much a place of opportunity, particularly if you have a special expertise, an entrepreneurial idea, or are looking for niches to fill," says Elizabeth.
In particular, the government has made it easy to start a corporation relatively cheaply and quickly as compared to other countries. "And these days it is easier than ever," she says.
Expat-run businesses in Panama run the gamut…people bake and sell cakes and chocolate, grow and export Panamanian coffee, teach gourmet cooking classes out of their kitchens, start new community websites…the list goes on. Spend a bit of time here, and you'll get to thinking you can start a little something, too. And you'll be absolutely right.

The Veterans
It is not "the military" nor "the government" that will be primarily responsible for the production of knights – of just warriors. Rather, it is, above all, the family, and, secondarily, our places of worship, our schools, our civic institutions – all those relational associations that fill the space between the individual and the state and make up civil society. Impeding this, and lurking in the background of this project, is the civil-military relations of our land.

Шевче́нкове (до 1946 Велдіж) — село в Вигодській громаді Калуського району Івано-Франківської області України.

Назва
Географічне розміщення між гір породило назву Велдіж — «велика діжа». З пташиного польоту село нагадує велику діжку. З півночі-сходу село оточують гори Кримянець, Клива. На півдні — гора Нягра, на заході — гора Лиса.

.

7 червня 1946 року указом Президії Верховної Ради УРСР село Велдіж Вигідського району перейменовано на село Шевченкове і Велдізьку сільську Раду — на Шевченківська.

Географія
У селі розташований Шевченківський заказник, неподалік від села — ботанічні пам'ятки природи «Руська Буковинка» і Урочище «Під Німецькою полонинкою».

Селом тече Лушецький потік.

Історія
Перші згадки про село Велдіж з'являються в першій люстрації в (1469 р.). Федір Чалганський за подароване йому село Велсдіч зобов'язується утримувати трьох арбалетників і здорових коней. Тоді в цьому регіоні активно видобували залізну руду. В ті часи Руське воєводство було поділене на повіти, і Велдіж належало до Жидачівського повіту Львівської землі.

У податковому реєстрі 1515 року в селі документуються млин і 5 ланів (близько 175 га) оброблюваної землі.

У 1648 році жителі села брали активну участь у народному повстанні, за що їх очікувала кривава розправа після відходу Хмельницького. Восени 1648 р. брали участь у нападі на Долинський замок, що належав польському шляхтичу Яну Мурецькому. Долинський шляхтич Юрій Гошовський також скаржився на селян з Велдіжа, що його побили і забрали 3400 злотих грішми і дорогі речі на 4000. Незважаючи на репресії селянський рух тривав до 1658 року.

Багатий ліс (дерева, гриби, ягоди, звірі), видобуток залізної руди, солеваріння (неподалік, в м. Долині) сприяли розвиткові цього регіону. В XVIII ст. у Велдіжі було збудовано фабрику Готліба, яка випускала широкий асортимент металевих виробів. Великим полегшенням для селян стало скасування панщини в Австро-Угорській імперії в 1848 р. На честь цієї події в селі було збудовано капличку. Кошти на побудову дали брати Васютинські, капличка добре збереглася і до наших часів. 1856 році побудовано дерев'яну церкву. В 1868 році — побудовано фабрику сільськогосподарських знарядь праці, власником якої був єврей Готліб і яка існувала до 1930 року. Фабрика мала ковальський, токарний, формувальний, ливарний, столярний цехи. На фабриці працювало близько 70 робітників, які виготовляли побутові речі різного призначення: кухонні дверці, каструлі, сковорідки, лопати, сокири, ободи для коліс, плуги, косарки і т. д. Виливали гальмівні колодки для вагонів, різні деталі для пилорам, в тому числі так звані, рибухи — довгі вали із зубами, які подавали дерево на пили під час розпилювання. Всі механічні пристрої приводилися в рух за допомогою водяного колеса. Також у присілку Жакля діяла гамарня, де виготовляли залізні машини-січкарні.

За статистичними даними 1857 року в селі Велдіж проживало 1766 осіб. Найбільшими були володіння Станіслава Котовського та Емілії Разіновської. В їх розпорядженні було 9422 морги лісу, 594 морги пасовищ, 85 моргів орної землі.

На той час у селі були три водяні млини. Два з них належали єврею Берцю, а третій млин належав жителю села Михайлу Сухарнику. Млин був завжди повний людьми, тут не тільки добре мололи зерно, але і якісно розпилювали ліс.

У 1939 році в селі проживало 2910 мешканців (1890 українців-грекокатоликів, 600 поляків, 50 українців-римокатоликів, 320 євреїв і 50 німців та інших національностей).

З 21 вересня 1939 р. до 27 червня 1941 р. історія села пов'язана з першим більшовицько-радянським періодом. Більшовицькі війська перебували в монастирі на Кляшторі. 22 червня 1941 року війна розбудила село гуркотом бомб. З відступом радянських військ народ мав надію на відновлення незалежності України. Однак новий ворог також приніс не волю, а нові страждання. За час війни вивезено на примусові роботи в Німеччину 46 осіб — жителів села. Крім того, була примусова здача натурального податку для потреб німецької армії (худоби, молока, зерна). У цей час околиці села стали базою формування і вишколу підрозділів УПА.

7 серпня 1944 року село було захоплено 496 мінометним Остропольським полком двічі Червонопрапорного ордена Богдана Хмельницького ІІ ступеня РГК І Українського фронту, що принесло примусову мобілізацію в Червону армію.

The Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council (MACC) is holding its 2nd assembly on January 7th at The Base starting at 7 PM. We're getting concrete about our plans for the inauguration (Disrupt J20): finalizing travel plans, proposed actions in NYC & DC, and tending to logistics. We'll also briefly address plans for a MACC press collective and our potential participation in "anti-Trump" activist coalition meetings scheduled for early January.
In our present historical moment our task is vast, but so are the possibilities. As MACC develops we aspire not only to be at the forefront of the struggle against xenophobia, racism, misogyny and right-wing reaction, but to also go on the offensive - seeding these struggles with a form of radical, participatory politics that undermines capitalist logic at its root. MACC assemblies are open to all anarchists, so please invite and share widely to help us build an anarchist movement forum in NYC.
We now have a website live at macc.nyc. Through the website we'll be hosting information on participating anarchist projects, a calendar of events, resources, and announcements about assemblies and organizing meetings. Please sign up at macc.nyc/contact if you would like to receive meeting minutes and announcements about future assemblies and their planned agendas. If you're in an active anarchist project that would like to be affiliated with MACC please get in touch at [email protected] with a brief (~100 words) write up and logo.
In addition to the MACC website we have created a calendar for anarchist events hosted at anarchism.nyc. If you run a social media account or facebook page for an anarchist project please link to the calendar so that we can make it as visible as possible!

Stage One (days 1-7) Single sow pelleted seed into a well mdrained peat mixture with a pH of 5.8-6.2 and a low nutrient charge (E.C. < 0.5 mmhos/2:1 slurry). Ageratum requires light to germinate so lightly cover with coarse vermiculite and maintain sufficient moisture to melt the pellet. Optimum germination temperature is 78-82 °F/25-28 °C.
Stage Two (days 8-20) After seed emergence move plug trays to a greenhouse with high light and good air circulation. Reduce air temperature to 60-70 °F/16-21 °C and apply a light feed of 50-75 ppm Nitrogen using a well balanced calcium nitrate based formulation.
Stage Three (days 21-30) Increase fertilizer level to 100- 150 ppm N. Optimum E.C. is 0.7-1.0 mmhos (2:1 slurry). Allowing the plants to dry slightly in between watering will reduce stretch and promote a strong and well toned plant. Growth regulation is not recommended for cut flower production. For ornamental use in containers where height control is desirable, B-9 (Alar) at 2,500 ppm is effective.
Stage Four (days 31-35) The plugs are approaching transplant stage. Reduce fertilizer to tone the plants and prepare them for transplanting. Do not delay transplanting.
Media: Select a well drained sterile cut flower bed in full sun with a pH of 5.8-6.2 and a low nutrient charge.
Watering: Initially, keep the plants well moistened and then water as needed. Growing too dry may result in red-edged or yellow leaves.
Fertilizer: Well balanced calcium nitrate based formulations work well to build strong and healthy plants. Optimum E.C. is 0.7- 1.0 mmhos. Avoid excess nitrogen as it promotes overgrowth, invites disease and reduces vase life.
Lighting: Optimum light level is up to 7,000 foot candles/ 75,000 lux. Whitewashing the glass may be necessary May-September to reduce light intensity. Extending the photoperiod in winter to 16 hours is recommended to ensure sufficient stem length and improve flower quality.
Temperature: Optimum temperature is 60-70 °F/16-21 °C. For winter production maintain 60 °F/15 °C maximum. Temperature is more important than day length for winter flowering. Under low light conditions do not grow too warm, (above 60 °F/15 °C), or else the stem quality will be reduced and tissue too soft.
Single Stemmed Culture: Space plants 4 x 4 inches/10 x 10 cm. apart in beds and provide support netting. Raise netting as the plants grow. Do not pinch the plants.
Multiple Stemmed Culture: Space plants 8 x 8 inches/20 x 20 cm. apart and pinch the growing tip to induce side branching. This will result in a heavy crop of high quality cut flowers.
Harvesting: For summer production allow 12 weeks from sowing and 15 weeks for winter production. The first flower is usually removed to create a flush of flowers. The flowers should be well-colored before cutting.
Pots: For green sales in 4 inch/10 cm. pots place one plant per pot and plan on 4 weeks from transplant to shipping. Larger containers in color require 6-7 weeks from transplant.
Media: Select a well drained sterile mixture with a pH of 5.8-6.2 and a low nutrient charge.
Growth regulation: B-9 (Alar) is effective at 2,500 ppm.
Culture watch points: Avoid using Kelthane or Ortocides on the crop. Ronilan damage seedlings.
Do not apply plant growth regulators during bud formation.

Spread Marmite more thinly, stocks run low
By Laura McQuillan
March 19, 2012 — 9.41am
As Australasia borders on an all-out Marmite crisis, fans of the other dark yeasty spread are being urged to start rationing.
The spread has been out of production since Sanitarium was forced to close its Christchurch production plant in November after an earthquake-damaged tower block put staff safety at risk.
The Christchurch plant supplies all the Marmite for Australasia.
The last remaining stocks have been sent to supermarket distribution centres, and when those are gone, there'll be no more Marmite until at least July, when operations at the Christchurch plant are expected to resume.
Sanitarium general manager Pierre van Heerden is urging customers not to panic-buy the spread, to try and minimise the shortage.
"What we're doing is asking consumers to use their Marmite sparingly at this stage," Mr van Heerden says.
He's suggesting consumers use Marmite on hot toast, instead of bread, because it spreads thinner and goes further.
"We will be back with Marmite, we will be manufacturing Marmite in New Zealand, and it will be the same product, so there's no need to panic or freak out that Marmite isn't going to be available in the longer term. This is a short-term hiccup because of the earthquakes," he said.
Mr van Heerden is confident the shortage won't push desperate customers to buy rival spread, Kraft's Vegemite.
"Our experience has been that if you eat Marmite, you don't eat the other spreads and you really love the Marmite that you've grown up with.
"We anticipate that our consumers will be patient, this is something that is beyond our control and I can just assure everyone that we're doing everything possible to get Marmite's production back up."
Sanitarium is still deconstructing the damaged manufacturing tower before work takes place to ensure the Christchurch plant is safe.
Mr van Heerden says the company has the assistance of Christchurch City Council to ensure no red tape holds up Marmite's return.

What is SuiteCommerce and how does it compare?
What are some examples of a source code change that requires SCA?
What are some examples of a customization that doesn't require SCA?
What if I don't know if a customization requires source code changes?
Can I upgrade to SCA later if I only need SuiteCommerce Standard for now?
Are there benefits to not having a managed bundle (SCA does not managed upgrades)?
Oracle NetSuite Add-Ons and Apps?
What is Oracle NetSuite Ecommerce?
by Caleb Schmitz in Solutions, SuiteCommerce, Training, NetSuite August 15th, 2022
SuiteCommerce is NetSuite's flagship ecommerce platform that is pre-integrated into the ERP. This means that companies don't need to pay for an integration between an ecommerce platform and NetSuite.
For example, if you were to purchase Shopify Plus as your ecommerce platform, you would need to pay approximately $5000 per year for the connection between Shopify and NetSuite. You would also need to pay for the implementation of the connection (mapping data).
If you had SuiteCommerce, you would not need to pay for this connection or the implementation of the mapping. SuiteCommerce comes unified with order and inventory management, CRM, and ERP.
NetSuite ERP drives the ecommerce experience which means that having total access to your ERP data is essential to scaling your ecommerce solution. Since SuiteCommerce is built by NetSuite for NetSuite, all the data is accessible so that your ecommerce solution can change as your business changes. You won't hit a roadblock keeping you from optimizing the ecommerce user experience for both B2B and B2C.
If you have NetSuite ERP, you know that there is the power to have all your data in a single location. This page goes through key areas of the SuiteCommerce module to help you understand why it beats Shopify Plus, Magento, and other ecommerce platform options. Since SuiteCommerce requires NetSuite ERP, we make the assumption that you are either implementing NetSuite or already have NetSuite as a platform. In our changing world, we have seen a dramatic increase in online sales over the past year. A major shift to online shopping has been occurring for the last decade, but the most recent world events have put more pressure on organizations to change earlier than expected. By the end of this page, we hope that you will be more informed to make an ecommerce decision.
If you have already begun your search into finding out more about SuiteCommerce, then you may have stumbled across two terms...SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) and SuiteCommerce Standard (SC).
It is important to understand the difference between the two options since one is half the price of the other. Most people think that SuiteCommerce Standard (now just called SuiteCommerce) means that you can't customize the theme or extensions. This is not true. In fact, you can do most of the same customization.
The primary difference is that SuiteCommerce Advanced has total access to the source code. Heavy customization changing the architecture of the platform will require SCA to be able to accomplish the goal.
A company wants every order through the ecommerce platform to be entered as a Purchase Order rather than a Sales Order. This would require a change to the source code.
A company wants to allow customers to log into "My Account" and modify existing orders that were already placed themselves. This would require a change to the source code.
You want to change the theme. Let's say you don't like your theme and have a graphic designer make a new mockup to match. This mockup has a different layout and new colors. This is not a change to source code. It is HTML and CSS work which you have access to with SuiteCommerce standard.
You want to create an extension that adds a new line item to the cart when an add-on (i.e. engraving option) is selected. This requires JavaScript but does not require source code changes.
The easiest way to identify which type of solution you need is to get in touch with a SuiteCommerce developer that builds customization's in the platform on a daily basis. They will know if a source code is likely required. If you have a road map of features you will want for the ecommerce platform, it is a good idea to explain them to the developer so that you pick the correct solution.
Yes you can. It is rather easy to transition from standard to advanced. If you don't need SCA for multiple years, you can change later if you only need standard features for the time being. You don't need a brand new implementation to switch. It takes about a day to fetch the code and deploy it to SuiteCommerce Advanced. The best part about SCA is that you'll never need to transition to another platform again due to limitations of the solution.
Absolutely, and this is because of the many customization's that SuiteCommerce Advanced customers tend to add to their ecommerce platform. Companies rely on having a platform that doesn't break whenever a managed upgrade occurs. When you have customization's in your ecommerce solution, you don't want them to break when a managed upgrade to the latest version occurs. You want to make the transition when you have had the time to test out the upgrade in the sandbox first to ensure all your customization's still work properly. This is the reason that SCA is version locked meaning that it doesn't automatically upgrade to the latest version. Whenever you want to upgrade, you'll want to get in touch with your development team to audit the theme and extensions, test the new version in sandbox, make any updates to a customization, and deploy to production when fully tested.
SuiteCommerce Standard does have managed updates, but just be aware of your customization's prior to each update. There are ways that developers can use extensibility API (managed NetSuite functions) to ensure that a customization will break less frequently.
If you have NetSuite or are planning to get NetSuite as your ERP, stay up to date with the latest SuiteCommerce features to see how it best fits into your business modal. If you want to get SuiteCommerce Standard to save more on your monthly licensing, then make sure to chat with a SuiteCommerce developer to help identify any areas that you may need SuiteCommerce Advanced in the future. Spending a little time and money identifying where SuiteCommerce Standard may be the better fit will help you cut costs and position yourself for the seamless upgrade to SuiteCommerce Advanced when you are ready. You can check out some of these reasons why SuiteCommerce Advanced is better than Shopify Plus for your ecommerce solution.
Having all your data managed in one place makes everyone's lives easier which is one reason why companies frequently choose SCA over other platforms since all the images, marketing data, files, and supporting data already lives in NetSuite.
There are some new initiatives by SuiteMarkets which is a 3rd party app platform that allows you to purchase SuiteCommerce and NetSuite ERP apps/features. It's a great way to find existing solutions for NetSuite ERP or SuiteCommerce. It's something to keep in mind as the platform continues to grow and more features get listed. Since it is free to list solutions, there are more smaller applications being listed such as order tracking, blogs, custom themes, customer center add-ons, in addition to software companies.
There is also NetSuite's app platform which is primarily used to inform NetSuite customers of software that integrates into the platform. Shopify has something similar including applications that help them integrate into the NetSuite platform. More and more customers are utilizing NetSuite as an ecommerce platform in addition to its reporting, warehouse management, HR, and other ERP features. This expands beyond your traditional ecommerce website and includes integrations to popular ecommerce solutions including Amazon, eBay, and Overstock.

Do bikes get a free ride? Advocates' infographic shows why not (updated)
Michael Andersen (Contributor)
Click for full version.
One car damages the road about as much as 9,600 bicycles. If bike riders had to pay a fee for their wear and tear on roads, they'd be writing checks for a few cents per year.
In other words: When people ride bikes, they save everyone money.
Those are the facts the Portland-based Bicycle Transportation Alliance is spreading with the new infographic below. The BTA says it's designed to "start a conversation" about the ways we pay for our road system, despite a funding regime that Communications Director Will Vanlue calls "kind of a mess and hard to understand."
"I think the people who aren't very aware of this don't think a lot about road funding," Vanlue explained Monday. "When you're going to the store you're not thinking how does this government agency put roads here, you're just thinking, 'I want to get to the store.'"
Since Facebook-friendly infographics are a big way that complicated facts can spread from person to person these days, it's great to see bike advocates looking for ways to use them. That's especially true since we seem to be approaching a point at which local transportation funding will be forced to change, due to falling gasoline consumption and rising construction costs.
"If this goes well I hope to do two more," Vanlue wrote in an email. "One that goes more into the other non-road costs associated with riding (savings to the rider), and another that goes more into the external economic benefits of riding (savings to the community)."
The fully original infographics were designed by BTA intern Maren Granstrom.
As for the facts of the infographic, there are some wrinkles: In the City of Portland, unlike in many other cities, the local transportation budget comes almost entirely from auto-related fees. That's why our unusual success in reducing auto dependence over the last 17 years has been so rough on the city's street budget. Vanlue said the BTA "made a conscious decision to move away from that granular level of data with this infographic."
"Having more bikes on the road and fewer cars is going to mean smaller maintenance budgets, bottom line," Vanlue said. "Eventually we're going to be flying electric sky-cars, and somewhere between here and there we're going to have to get rid of the gas tax. What do we do to fund our roads before those flyng cars come along?"
"One way we can reduce costs in the short term until we have a better plan is just to have more bikes on the road," he said.
— For more on where the City of Portland's money comes from to pay for transportation, see our story on the PBOT Financial Task Force Report from back in February.
Update 11:20 am 11/14: An earlier version of this infographic incorrectly reported the split between user fees and general fund taxes, overstating the statewide general fund contribution by 15 percentage points. It also characterized some transit costs as "road" costs. We've replaced the old infographic with the correct one. The BTA issued the following correction on Wednesday:
We'd like to share our reasons for making the corrections we did:
Categorizing bonds as a user fee. We originally categorized "bonds" as a non-user fee. Based on the source of revenue that ODOT relies on to repay bonds, this was inaccurate.
"Transportation" costs versus "road" costs. The first version of our graphic implied to some that ODOT's revenue addresses "road" costs, when the picture is actually much more broad. The revenue also pays for things such as trails and other transportation facilities out of the on-road right-of-way.
Percentage of User Fees versus General Funds. In order to make sure we're categorizing User Fees and General Funds accurately, here's a list of what we've included in each category, based on information from ODOT's 2011-2013 financial reporting:
Motor Fuels Tax
Part of Federal Funds (portion from Highway Trust Fund)
Weight Mile Tax
Driver and Vehicle License & Fees
Bond/COP Sales
General Funds
Part of Federal Funds (portion not from Highway Trust Fund)
Other Transfers to ODOT (includes cigarette tax, local government match on construction projects, Parks & Rec fee collection)
Lottery Proceeds
Sales and Charges for Service
All Other Revenue

Wrapping up this short Sicily series with Piazza Armerina. If you have missed the previous posts, you can catch up here.
After exploring Palermo in the northwest and Ortigia in the southeast, we headed to the province of Enna in the centre of Sicily.
The medieval town of Piazza Armerina developed around the 11th century, during the Norman conquest of Sicily. However, the city of Piazza (as it was called till the mid-19th century) has a history that goes back to the Roman times, as is evidenced by the impressive Villa Romana del Casale.
… and eventually you will arrive at the majestic 18th-century Duomo di Piazza Armerina.
The Cathedral was built on the remains of a 15th-century church, and the Gothic style windows inside the current cathedral are originals from the old church.
Some more ambling will bring you to the 14th-century Aragonese Castle, a squat square-shaped fort with square towers.
There are more churches to see in Piazza Armerina, and some lovely palazzos, not to mention the Renaissance building of Garibaldi Theatre.
A bit further outside the town stands a (purportedly) 18th-century public laundry with 18 stone basins, covered with a pavilion roof.
Next to the laundry is the public water fountain, still gushing out potable water from the river Gela. The spouts arise from the mouths of four fierce-looking sandstone masks, which are said to be the likenesses of Bourbon kings.
The jewel in Piazza Armerina's crown is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Villa Romana del Casale (Roman Country Villa), a 4th-century villa and estate. The villa is located 6 kilometres outside Piazza Armerina – there are regular buses ferrying visitors during the summer months, otherwise you can rent a car to take you there.
The villa was built as an agricultural estate and a village grew around it, till it was abandoned in the 12th century after a landslide buried the entire area. In the mid 20th-century archaeological excavations unearthed remains of the villa, and along with it, the richest and most complex collection of Roman mosaics in the world.
We visited the villa expecting to see a few mosaics amongst the ruins. We were completely unprepared for the sheer magnitude, variety and artistry of the mosaics. Entire floors are covered with mosaics depicting everything from hunting expeditions to children's pastimes.
The huge villa is divided into large rooms, each with a different function, and decorated accordingly. So the main rooms have rich, coloured mosaics, while the kitchen and servants' area are slightly less decorative.
Some mosaics depict the daily life of Roman aristocracy while others show scenes from mythology.
My favourite mosaic was 'the bikini girls', which depicts sporty young women lifting weights, throwing the discus, running etc. Feminism was alive & well back then, it seems!
We booked a room at La Casa Del Marchese (the Marquis' house), a 15th-century former stately home called Palazzo Demani dei Trigona di Canicarao. We found the home via Visiting Sicily (read more about them in my previous post on Palermo). Our hostess, Iva picked us up from the bus station, along with her journalist friend Roberta, who was our translator, as Iva doesn't speak much English.
The house is located in the centre of the old town, and most of the attractions are at a walking distance. The entrance is through a pretty private garden, and the 'lobby' is very tastefully done up. In fact that's true of the entire house, which is recently renovated.
There's a large living room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 atelier (perfect for artists and creative folks). There's a lovely terrace as well. We were the only guests (summer is very touristy, autumn is a better time to visit Piazza Armerina), and pretty much had the run of the house. Little personal touches around the house, lots of Sicilian art and a warm hostess – our one-night stay at La Casa Del Marchese was a lovely way to end our Sicilian sojourn.
Iva had also generously arranged for a dinner for us, with lots of Sicilian specialities such as Moscato and Corte della Seta wines, piacentino cheese from Enna (a rare cheese produced only in Sicily, with a striking yellow colour, and studded with whole black peppercorns), muffaletta sandwiches made with a round sesame bread, local spicy salame, ricotta stuffed breads, frutta di martorana (a typical Sicilian dessert of colourful marzipan shaped into fruits), local honey, arancina and more.
If you visit Piazza Armerina (and I think you should!), stop by at La Casa Del Marchese for a taste of warm Sicilian hospitality.
Disclosure: We got a 50% discount on our stay at La Casa del Marchese courtesy Visiting Sicily.
In love with your pics from Sicily, I soo wana tick it off my bucket list. Thanks for sharing!

The Weeknd Co-Wrote an Episode of 'American Dad!'
Post author By Staff Stories
The Weeknd has co-written an episode for one of Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcoms, American Dad! The singer-songwriter took to Instagram this week to share the news in a post that included a picture of himself alongside the episode's co-writer, Joel Hurwitz, who has previously worked on both American Dad! and Robot Chicken.
"Me and this guy wrote an episode of American Dad," The Weeknd stated, before revealing that he will also be voicing a character that he somewhat resembles. And that's not all, Deadline has reported that the episode will also feature a new original song by the 30-year-old musician.
News of The Weeknd's involvement in American Dad! comes as he just released his fourth studio album, After Hours. He also recently made his feature film debut in the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems.
The new season of American Dad! is due out April 13, with The Weeknd's episode airing on May 4.
me and this guy wrote an episode of American Dad. also gonna play myself… kinda. MAY 4th ! (Photo was taken a while ago… STAY HOME)

Ashis Paul (Tabla) Studio Recording, 2011.
Peace, Love & Joy brings three traditional Indian evening melodies to life with sitar and tabla, opening a door to the magic and deep spirituality of India. Ideal for relaxation, meditation, yoga, ayurveda and tantra - but also for demanding artistic listening pleasure!
Peace: the meditative and dignified raga Bageshri. Love: the romantic raga Kirwani. Joy: the innocent light-hearted raga Bhoopali.
Yogendra was born in Northern Germany in 1965. He accidentally came across a sitar as a teenager and has been studying North Indian classical music ever since. He has been learning with renowned masters like Ali Akbar Khan and Partha Chatterjee. He performs in the style of the Maihar-Senia-tradition. Outside the world of traditional Ragas, Yogendra is a creative sitar player in dance and theatre productions, recordings, satsangs and meditative gatherings. His most notable project is the award-winning world music trio Indigo Masala.
Ashis Paul was born in Calcutta in 1974. He started learning music from his father when he was five. Later on he took tabla lessons from Samir Chatterjee, Debnath Chakraborty, and finally from Anindo Chatterjee, master of the Farukhabad-tradition of tabla. Ashis Paul is renowned for his sensitive and musical accompaniment. He has performed worldwide with a number of leading classical Indian musicians, e.g. Buddhadev Dasgupta, Shujaat Khan, Partha Chatterjee, Partho Sarathy, Kala Ramnath, Debashis Bhattacharya and Purbayan Chatterjee.


I feel proud and happy to announce the 96th engagement in the Wunder community: the gorgeous Lisette from the US!
Lisette has been following this work for some time, and she was working with the Leap Into Love advanced self-study program for dating and inner work.
After just 4 months of meeting her now-fiancé, she got the ring!
Lisette's life will never be the same again, and I mean this in a very delicious, juicy, happy, passionate, snuggly and warm kind of way!!!
"Before I came to Sami, I felt resigned to my "bad luck" in romantic relationships. Boyfriends and joyful dates were non-existent for me for many years, until I decided to jump in and work with Sami and started applying these tools.
I still remember how fast my heart was beating and how scared I was to invest so much in myself and my love life for the first time. At some level though, I knew I had to take the leap and do something different if I wanted to create different results. I also met Sami in Los Angeles last year and my faith that this professional can help me, was deeply confirmed.
I feel so happy to share that I just got engaged to a man who thinks I am his world. I am still grasping the power of what has happened and how this has changed my life.
I also feel proud to be sharing that my success in love comes today from the support of this coach – Sami Wunder. I feel so touched and grateful to this woman for being there for me. I am so thankful to God for finding her.
If you're a high achieving woman who has everything going on for her in her life, except when it comes to your romantic life, then you and I should most definitely talk.
I invite you to get in touch HERE.
The Single To Engaged VIP Mastermind (starting mid-May) may be the game changer for you! Fill in the form and let's talk about how you can be the next success story.

Q: Finite group with at most one subgroup for each order. Let $G$ be a finite group.
I want to prove the following propositon.

If for every positive integer $n$, the number of subgroups of $G$ of order $n$ is $1$ or $0$, then $G$ is
  cyclic.

Is my proof right?
$$\begin{align*}
f(d)&=\text{The number of element of }G\text{ of order }n\\
&\leq(\text{number of subgroups of order }d)\times(\text{number of generators of }G)
\end{align*}$$
Above inequality holds for any finite group $G$.
From assumption, we can deduce
$$f(d)\leq \text{number of generators of }G = \varphi(d)$$
On the other hand, $n$ is the sum of $f(d)$ where $d$ divides $n$.
And the sum is less than the sum of $\varphi(d)$ where $d$ divides $n$. And the last sum is $n$, so, $f(d)=\varphi(d)$.
In particular, $f(n)=\varphi(n)\geq 1$, so $G$ has an element $a$ which has order $n$. Therefore, $G=\langle a\rangle$.

A: The argument has a bunch of typos and omissions,  and is not very clear, but is essentially correct.
You define $f(d)$ to be the number of elements of order exactly $d$ in $G$. Then we note that if $x$ is an element of order $d$, then so are $x^a$ for any $a$, $1\leq a\leq d$, $\gcd(a,d)=1$; so each element of order $d$ gives you $\varphi(d)$ other elements of order $d$. Now, if $H$ is a subgroup of order $d$, then if it is cyclic it contains exactly $\varphi(d)$ elements of order $d$, and if it is not cyclic, then it contains $0$, and hence fewer than $\varphi(d)$ elements. Each element of order $d$ is counted this way.
That means that $f(d)$ is, at most, the number of subgroups of order $d$ times $\varphi(d)$. The typos in your first equation are:

*

*The $n$ on the first line; and

*It's not "generators of $G$", in the second line, it's generators of the subgroup of order $d$.

Now, since by assumption there is at most one subgroup of order $d$, that means that $f(d)\leq\varphi(d)$ for each $d$. That's correct.
Since $|G|=\sum_{d|n}f(d)$, then
$$n = |G|=\sum_{d|n}f(d) \leq\sum_{d|n}\varphi(d).$$
But it is known that $\sum_{d|n}\varphi(d) = n$, so we have equality throughout. In particular, for every $d|n$, $f(d)=\varphi(d)$. That's correct, though poorly worded.
And then you conclude that since $\varphi(n)\geq 1$, then $f(n)\geq 1$, which means $G$ contains at least one element of order $n$, and thus is cyclic. Again, correct.

A: Let $p_1^{r_1}\cdot p_2^{r_2}\cdots p_n^{r_n}$ be the prime factorization of $m:=\text{exp}(G)$. Each cyclic $G$ subgroup $\langle g\rangle$ must also be a normal $G$ subgroup as it is the unique cyclic subgroup of that order. Choose $g_1,g_2,\dots ,g_n\in G$ such that $\text{ord}(g_i)=p_i^{r_i}$ and compose the internal direct sum $$\langle g_0\rangle:=\langle g_1\rangle\oplus\langle g_2\rangle\oplus\cdots\oplus\langle g_n\rangle$$ Finally, given any $g\in G$ then $m=\text{ord}(g_0)$ is a multiple of $|\langle g\rangle|$ which must equal the size of a $\langle g_0\rangle$ subgroup so that we may conclude $\langle g\rangle\subseteq\langle g_0\rangle$. Therefore $G=\langle g_0\rangle$.

Captain Arthur Phillip, R.N. Monument
A small monument dedicated to Captain Arthur Phillip, R.N. located at the Circular Quay, adjacent to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia. As commander of the First Fleet and first Governor of New South Wales between the years 1786, being appointed as Governor of the proposed colony 2 years prior to departure of the Fleet, and 1792 when he returned to England due to poor health.
Phillip had served with distinction in the Royal Navy during the American War of Independence and with the Portuguese Navy during the Spanish-Portuguese War before being appointed to establish the penal colony in NSW, the success of the colony largely the result of his efforts under extremely difficult circumstances. After his return to England and improved health, he continued service with the Royal Navy, eventually rising to the rank of Admiral shortly before his death in 1814. He is buried at Bathampton in the church of St Nicholas and another memorial to Phillip can be found in the Bath Abby.
A memorial fountain dedicated to Arthur Philip is located within the Royal Botanic Gardens close to the eastern side of Macquarie Street's northern end in Sydney.

A: It seems you misunderstand how the mv command works. There is no to in the parameters thus it is interpreted as a file name but none such file exists.
man 1 mv
SYNOPSIS
   mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
   mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
   mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...

A: Because you said
mv  (source filename)  to  (target directory)
and Unix commands aren't English —
you don't say things like mv something to somewhere.
mv saw
mv  (source filename1)  (source filename2)  (target directory)
where (source filename2) was to,
and the error message says that there's no such file as to.

Use of a Modified Adaptor Molecule LAT to Improve Immunotherapy for Cancer and Other Diseases
Researchers at the NCI have developed a method of improving the immune response in cancer immunotherapy by exploiting in the role of the Linker Adapted for T-Cell Signaling (LAT) molecule. The LAT molecular can enhance signaling through TCRs, thus, improving a patient's own immune response to cancer or infectious diseases.
Polymeric Delivery Platform for Therapeutics
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for a polymeric drug delivery platform that targets scavenger receptor A1 (SR-A1), a receptor highly expressed in macrophages, monocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells (myeloid lineages), and endothelial cells. The platform delivers various immunomodulatory therapeutic cargo including small molecule drugs, therapeutic peptides, and vaccines, to the lymphatic system and myeloid/antigen presenting cell (APC) sub-populations.
Peptide Inhibitors for Viral Infections and as Anti-inflammatory Agents
IFN-gamma and IL-10 are cytokine signaling molecules that play fundamental roles in inflammation, cancer growth and autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, there are no specific inhibitors of IFN-gamma or IL-10 on the market to date. The National Cancer Institute seeks parties interested in licensing or collaborative research to co-develop selective IL-10 and IFN-gamma peptide inhibitors.
Peptide Hydrogels for Rate-Controlled Delivery of Therapeutics
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a novel delivery platform in which the scaffold of an anionic hydrogel (AcVES3) can be attenuated to deliver therapeutic small molecules, peptides, proteins, nanoparticles, or whole cells. The NCI seeks collaborators and licensees for the development of this technology in various clinical and laboratory applications.
New Insect Sf9-ET Cell Line for Determining Baculovirus Titers
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensing partners for a novel modified insect cell line, Sf9-ET, that can quickly and efficiently determine baculovirus titers during the expression of recombinant proteins from a baculovirus-based protein expression system.
Micro-Dose Calibrator for Pre-clinical Radiotracer Assays
Pre-clinical radiotracer biomedical research involves the use of compounds labeled with radioisotopes, including radio-ligand bio-distribution studies, cell binding studies, immune cell labeling techniques, and α-based therapies. Before this Micro-Dose Calibrator, measurement of pre-clinical level dosage for small animal studies was inaccurate and unreliable. This dose calibrator is a prototype ready for customer testing and scale-up. It is designed to accurately measure radioactive doses in the range of 50 nCi (1.8 kBq) to 100 µCi (3.7 MBq) with 99% precision. The NCI seeks co-development or licensing to commercialize it. Alternative uses will be considered.

QUEER BUDAPEST
RESISTING ERASURE: QUEER ART IN HUNGARY
Roma LGBTQ Community - Owing the game
Queer Budapest is pleased to present an exhibition of works by emerging and established artists from the queer Hungarian diaspora during the 2021 edition of Art Cologne.
As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic the Hungarian queer community has found itself in increasingly uncertain territory. Already stigmatised and marginalised, over the course of the past year the Hungarian government has sought new ways in which to target the rights of LGBTQ+ people; From banning legal gender recognition and making marriage equality all but impossible to the most recent and far reaching legislation that equates homosexuality to pedophilia and bars LGBTQ+ education and representation in the media.
However, despite this challenging environment, queer artists are refusing to be silent in the wake of policies that seek to erase them from society and are continuing to produce work that has the power to inform and educate while inspiring us to take our fate into our own hands and imagine a world free from institutionalised hatred.
With works ranging from performance to painting to photography, Resisting Erasure: Queer Art in Hungary will present a multi-faceted view of contemporary queer life in Hungary by investigating themes such as Identity, Community and Feminism. Overall, this exhibition seeks to position art as an important method for the exploration and celebration of identity.
Selected by curators Zsuzsanna Zsuró and Thomas Roughan the exhibition includes works by: Ádám Csábi, Anna Ádám, Barnabás Lakatos-Gelléri, Borsos Lőrinc, Hollow Systems & works from the LGBTQ+ Roma Community.
Queer Budapest would like to thank Daniel Hug, the Art Cologne Team and our commercial supporters for making this exhibition possible.
'Fears and Hopes' by Barnabás Lakatos Gelléri
Queer Budapest is a platform that supports and promotes the work of LGBTQ+ creatives from the Hungarian diaspora.
Queer Budapest was founded in 2020 by art researcher Zsuzsanna Zsuro (born in Budapest) and artist Thomas Roughan (born in London) after they met at Central Saint Martins in London and were both dissatisfied with lack of attention the Hungarian queer scene was receiving.
Queer Budapest's first exhibition was held in November 2020 in Népsziget, an island in north Budapest, and was met with an overwhelmingly positive response, showing there was an interest in, and a need for, LGBTQ+ Hungarian art to be shown.
Following on from the initial exhibition came a radio and podcast series in early 2021 called Queer Budapest Talks which focused on facilitating in-depth discussions with a variety of queer creatives. During its run the series became the #2 rated podcast in the visual arts category in Hungary. It was also during this time that Queer Budapest started to gain attention from the arts media and was featured in both The Calvert Journal and Artnet News.
Currently, Queer Budapest is focusing on preparing to present a special exhibition during the 2021 edition of Art Cologne against a backdrop of rising tensions between the queer community and the government back home in Hungary.
Queer Budapest hopes this exhibition will continue to highlight the talent Hungarian LGBTQ+ artists have while contributing towards bringing international attention to the challenges they face.
Exhibited artists
Anna ÁDÁM – Performance
"School of Disobedience" is an experimental, anti-canonical and radical Performance Art School and Fight Club, only for women. Based on critical pedagogy, empowerment methods and guerilla tactics, the school helps participants achieve political consciousness through the regular practice of creating, fighting, protesting, resisting and revolting.
A box ring is installed in the lobby of the art fair, where a maximum of people are passing by. The public can either join the daily "Fight Club" classes, or experiment with this interactive installation on their own. Every afternoon there is a performance in the ring, each of them celebrating female combativity.
Ádám CSÁBI - Photography
Csábi's photography is unique in a sense it encapsulates split seconds within queer safe spaces: parties. Through his intimate way of capturing the moment, visitors can get a glimpse into the fragile and at the same time wild and supportive scene of the intertwined techno and LGBTQ communities.
Barnabás GELLÉRI - Painting
An emerging artist based in Hungary, Barnabás Gelléri is engaged with the relationship between personal feelings & depiction. He directly translates the struggles and joys of everyday life into seemingly easily digestible compositions. However, what one finds is incredibly complex images. He doesn't separate artistic and personal identity, his realm is the one dominated by his creatures most notably the snake and the ox.
Gelléri is currently studying at the Fine Art University of Budapest and previously undertook studies at the University of Applied Arts (MOME).
He has had numerous group and solo exhibitions, including 'Coming of Age' at Pince Project in 2018 and 'Queer Budapest' at Skurc Group in 2020.
Borsos Lőrinc (Janó BORSOS and Lilla LŐRINC) - Installation
Lilla Lőrinc, and János Borsos, have worked together since 2008 as Lőrinc Borsos. The name covers an entity with its own creative consciousness. His/her age is currently 12 years. His/her gender, sexual orientation and intellect are equally characterized by bipolarity. The basis of his/her existence is the coexistence of extremities, but his/her actual goal is the solution of duality. He/she despises hierarchy and the social divide and exclusion created in its wake. For them, art gets interesting beyond morals, when it still exists in an unfiltered state, right after the moment of the birth of an idea. At this point there is no political correctness of self-censorship yet.
Hollow Systems - Performance/ AI
For us, the idea of being "queer" is about subversion: we view it primarily as a tool.
Phoenix (2018) was our first work together. Our aim was to showcase the gay club culture through two major mythological figures; the Phoenix rising from the ashes, and the lonely Minotaur in its labyrinth, waiting for its next victim (or saviour). We like it when our work doesn't have a straightforward meaning so that the viewer can become something more than an outside observer. But our aim is not to teach others how to be more open-minded. Rather, our works suggest that reality isn't as solid as it seems and that the roles we assume could easily be different.
Roma LGBTQ Community - Photography
Owning the Game' art project
Owning the Game is a photo exhibition that brought together Roma LGBTQ+ individuals as a community to create something that can represent us better. It recently debuted within the artistic framework of Budapest Pride in July 2021.
