Redevelopment projects are popular all over the world, because of which a lot has been said about the construction industry for the past few years. The procedures of demolishing the old buildings and restructuring them with latest building and construction techniques, is all one needs to know about redevelopment. Since there is a danger of old buildings to suddenly collapse or facing any natural calamity, building a new building, or reconstructing a current structure has become important goals for any company.
For a redevelopment project, one needs to make sure that there is a regular involvement of the local area officer appointed by the government, who will supervise the project for that society. None of the points related to the project, or the proceedings of the project should be hidden from him, as it would be turned illegal if the above does not take place. Various builders are taken into consideration, post which they send their proposal, along with the entire plan which includes the layout plan, how much raw materials they can supply like marine plywood and the percentage increase which they would like to propose. The best builder is selected after lots of meetings and discussions among the committee members.
Some incidents include the builder not being loyal or not showing any keen interest in the project. Some builders claim certain important values relating to the project, and later if it is approved, they are unable to fulfill their demands. Such incidents degrade the reputation of the builder, and they are not able to get new projects in the future. Involvement of some corrupt builders with some members of the society also helps these builders bag a redevelopment project, but due to research in the history of these builders if the members get to know their past cases and bad dues, they are immediately terminated by the management of the society.
The challenges met at every stage of redevelopment in every metropolitan in the world.
The issues of fulfilling the demand, whether it should be an increase in supply or it should be a correction in prices.
Pressure of the overall infrastructure needs and raw materials like shutter board, on redevelopment projects.
How a redevelopment project is possible in developed nations along with equal focus on housing supply and construction material needs.
Kenya has implemented a lot of construction projects which include building prefabricated homes and supplying high quality wall panels. There are many important aspects to keep in mind when one is undertaking this of construction work. One such aspect is protection against water and moisture of any kind. Seepage of water and moisture has been known to spoil many good structures. That is why builders often scout long and hard for the material that will be used in different construction purposes.
Many property owners are quite casual in their approach to any problem related to redevelopment. Since the destruction happens over a long period of time, they become impatient to when the final house will be ready. They should take steps in the construction stage itself by using this type of plywood for their construction work.

May 09, 2017 How Not to be Bitter to Your EX!
Hi sweethearts, i want to share another amazing process how to turn heartache into such beautiful work of art. Yes, how not to be bitter to your ex is not an easier. But first, we must proud and happy for ourselves. Let's show more power!
Let go and realize that what is not meant for you, will be disqualified by nature from your life.
Take a time away to recuperate, hearing your mutual friends talk about him or her, or bumping into your ex will not make it easier for you.
Introspect yourself and be better emotionally and physically. Nothing feels better than proving to yourself that you can be much better without him or her.
Be kind, not the easiest thing but true integrity is knowing how to stay civil and remain friendly to those who have hurt you.
Don't be so hard on yourself and blaming yourself for the breakup. It always takes two to tango.

Breads From Betsy's Kitchen is the source of this recipe. Betsy Oppenneer, a bread baker, author and baking instructor, offers these comments to describe her Parmesan Potato Bread . . .
It's hard to stop nibbling this exquisite bread. The crust is crisp and the bits of potato are slightly crunch. I love to eat the crust first, then start dipping the soft, sweet insides into a favorite soup...it's heaven! For a slightly marled texture, use shredded Parmesan rather than finely grated."
Recipe from Betsy Oppenneer; I made a couple of changes as noted by the comments in ().
Add salt, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, potato, cheese, and 3 cups flour.
Beat vigorously for 2 minutes. Gradually add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.
Turn dough onto a floured work surface.Knead, adding flour a little at a time, until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
Place dough into an oiled bowl. Turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil.
Cover with a tightly woven towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
About 10 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 375 F. Place a shallow pan on the bottom shelf of the oven.
Place the bread in the oven and put 5 ice cubes into the pan on the bottom shelf. Close the door quickly to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 190 F.
Immediately remove bread from baking sheet and cool on a rack.
* Baker's Lame — A Lame (pronounced LAHM, meaning "blade" in French) is typically a long thin stick made to hold a metal razor used to cut, or score, bread dough to help control the expansion of the loaf as it bakes.

1 Mile of Shoreline/104 Acres
Year Preserved
6249 West River Road, Glen Arbor,
This beloved river in Glen Arbor was preserved in partnership with Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Over a several year period, the Conservancy played the role of bridge builder and financier to preserve this sensitive "dune and swale" topography once slated to become a golf course. The preserved land includes a mile of shoreline that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recognized as "globally rare habitat." In 2003 the Conservancy also purchased the fragile 7-acre Oxbow portion of the river and transferred it to Glen Arbor Township.
The journey of ultimate protection of the Crystal River took nearly 20 years and had as many twists and turns as the river itself.
When the Homestead Resort proposed building a golf course along the river back in 1986, a group called Friends of the Crystal River formed that would tenaciously oppose the course for nearly two decades. Many other individuals and groups joined in the effort to save the river, from politicians to units of government to the Leelanau Conservancy.
The 7-acre Oxbow property covers 1,200 feet of frontage on a sensitive bend in the river between M-22 and CR 675. The Oxbow originally belonged to the Leelanau School, and The Homestead held the option on this land it had once intended to use as part of its golf course. When the resort decided not to renew its option on the Oxbow, the school put the property up for sale. We stepped in to buy and hold the property, then wrote a grant to Michigan's Coastal Management Program that would ultimately put the land in the hands of Glen Arbor Township. We hold a conservation easement to preserve the property as a wildlife sanctuary and an educational area.
By this time, The Homestead had decided not to build its golf course and had also offered an additional 104 acres for sale.
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dearly desired to include this ecologically wonderful and fragile land in the Park. First, park boundaries had to be altered by Congress, and funds appropriated to buy the land. The Park could not secure enough appropriations from Congress to buy all of the land at once. The Leelanau Conservancy stepped in to buy and hold 59 acres until federal appropriations were available. That meant taking out $4.85 million in loans – not an easy task, and not without substantial risk.
The transfer of the river was a complicated transaction that took nearly two years to negotiate and complete.
But, finally, in October 2005, federal funds appropriated for the last 59 acres that we had bought and held were appropriated and we could then transfer them into the Park. Now, 104 acres and 6,300 feet of river frontage in total are forever under the wing of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The best way to see and appreciate the Crystal River is from a canoe or kayak. There are outfitters in the area who will drop you off at the put-in site. Or, if you have your own equipment, one of the best places to launch is on Fisher Road, just off Dunns Farm Road.
No trail system; best viewed from a canoe or kayak
Wood ducks, waterfowl, playful otter, spawning salmon
Purple-fringed orchid, ferns, red cardinal flowers, water lilies

Hi my name is Chad Parkinson and I publish Tidbits of Grand Forks/East Grand Forks. I'm a lifelong North Dakotan. I grew up in Fargo and have lived in Grand Forks since 1987.
I graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1993 with a degree in Marketing. My first job was selling advertising for The Dakota Shopper. I did that for a little over a year before becoming a manager at Players Sports Grill and Bar. What a great place that was. Managing at a restaurant entailed an excessive amount of hours and after a year or so of that I decided it was time to move on. So I ended up back at the Dakota Shopper as Business Manager. My job entailed sales, design and distribution. Months later a copy of Tidbits from another area ended up in my hands. This is when I began pondering the idea of running my own publication. Then out of the blue in March of 1997 the owner of the Dakota Shopper decided to lock the doors and call it quits. Talk about a good solid nudge to start Tidbits! And so it began.
I started publishing Tidbits in 1997. I was ready to put out the first issue in April of 1997, and then the Big Flood came. I wasn't sure when I was going to get started after that, but somehow I managed to publish the first issue on June 5, 1997. That issue was just one sheet of paper with one color (see image below). Years later, it is the 16-page, full color publication that you have been reading the last several years.
To this day I am still a one-man show. I sell and design the ads, distribute the paper myself every week and tend to all the other aspects of running a business. The only thing I don't do is write the topics that you see in Tidbits. That comes from the Tidbits corporate office.
So there you have it. A quick autobiography on me. Thanks for reading Tidbits over the years. Feel free to e-mail (wickpub@yahoo.com) me with any suggestions or comments about the paper.

Doctors and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have come together to build pressure on the Central government, so that it declares cigarette and bidi butts as toxic waste. NGO Doctors for You has filed a petition regarding the same with the National
Green Tribunal (NGT), saying a filter of a single cigarette contains over 4,000 harmful chemicals. It stated that over 100 billion cigarette butts are discarded in India every year, which contain harmful, cancer-causing chemicals.

A paradise for winter visitors [http://cmsenvis.cmsindia.org/resources/newspaper/details.asp?id=75428]
Winter is almost upon us, a time when one of nature's most fascinating aspects is at play — migration. While many animals migrate in search of food and better climate, birds are the most popular winter migrators. For them, it is a matter of life and death.
As winter approaches, food resources decrease by a great margin, leaving birds no other options but to go in search of greener pastures.

Not enough food, nests, crows vanish from Bengaluru [http://cmsenvis.cmsindia.org/resources/newspaper/details.asp?id=75454]
The population of crows in the City has come down by almost 60 per cent over the years, according to ornithologists and birdwatchers.
After the decline in sparrow population, this comes as a shock for Bengalureans and ornithologists, says Manjunath Prabhakar, a birdwatcher. "The huge tree near Gayathri Vihar on Palace Road used to be abuzz with cawing crows. At any given point in time,
one could easily spot at least 80 nests. But now, especially in the past two years, I have not seen many nests. Instead, many dead crows are sighted on the City roads," he said.

Worcester Historical Museum new 'We All Got History' exhibit
By: Patrick E. Hackney
In: Historical museum
Worcester celebrates its 300th anniversary this year, and a new exhibit at the Worcester Historical Museum takes a look at the city's history.
"We All Got History…Worcester at 300" looks at some of the people, places and things that make Worcester "The Heart of the Commonwealth".
There are historical and modern artifacts, paintings and documents, such as a nearly 170-pound, six-foot-long adjustable wrench made by the Coes brothers, and "Scratch" the Worcester Ice Cats mascot.
The exhibit also features a women's work uniform worn during World War II at the St. Pierre Manufacturing Corporation and a Lego version of the Bancroft Tower made by WPI's Lego Club.
The museum invites people to explore the exhibit and see where their story fits into the historical narrative of the city.
"I think they can connect to something in Worcester's history and see themselves in some way," said exhibit coordinator Vanessa Bumpus. Rock Brewing, and we have some of the cans of the beers we've collaborated on, there's a little connection. History is our common thing. We all have a story to tell and we at the museum are here to collect those stories and preserve them for the next 300 years."
The exhibition will be visible until September.
The museum offers free admission in July and August in collaboration with the Tricentennial Committee.

Hawkenbury Meadow is a long strip of neutral grassland that runs alongside a brook next to Katherine's Way.
The site has margins of mature woodland on both sides and a central patch of willow trees.
The meadow has many interesting wildflowers such as yellow rattle, common spotted orchid, cowslip, wild carrot, and grass vetchling.
The northern part of the meadow has damper soil and attracts more marshland plants.
Although fairly small, the site is a peaceful change from the busy road and a good place to spot butterflies.

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demands for limited resources. To assist with management of cotton crops the Technology Resource Centre (TRC) of the Australian Cotton CRC aims to develop and distribute a range of decision support systems. Some of these systems are computerised eg. entomoLOGIC, nutriLOGIC, and hydroLOGIC, which all come under the banner of CottonLOGIC. The package is accepted as an industry standard for integrated pest management and is widely distributed and used across the industry (registered copies 785 Dec. 1998; currently 1177 Sep. 2002). However, supporting existing products, changing computer systems (eg. Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 and now Windows 98), increasing demands for other computerised decision support tools to be developed and demands by industry to investigate new opportunities (eg. GIS capabilities), have placed significant pressure on the resources of the TRC to meet these needs. Presently, one full time programmer is assigned to developing CottonLOGIC decision support tools, however, much of his time is dedicated in supporting and refining CottonLOGIC to meet users requirements. Access to further programming support will allow some of the tasks that are necessary for continued progress of decision support to be completed and thus allow the benefits of these tools to be passed on to industry much quicker whilst maintaining support.

The synthesis, molecular structures, reactions, and properties of 4,5-diazafluorene derivatives have been studied because of their potential applications in organic devices. These compounds have similarities to 2,2'-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives. They also exhibit unique reactivities and properties different from these compounds due to the fluorene moieties. The applications of 4,5-diazafluorenes have been widely investigated in various research fields to afford new functional materials such as electron-transporting materials, organic emitters, emissive complexes, sensing elements, solar sensitizers, and antibiotics. This article describes the chemistry and applications of 4,5-diazafluorenes.

*Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University, Shimo-okubo, Sakura-ku, Saitama 338-8570, Japan
S-Aminothiiranium salts 5a-c of anti- and syn-9,9'-bibenzo- norbornenylidenes and 2,2'-biadamantylidene were synthesized by reacting thiiranes 3a-c with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine. Decomposition of 5a and 5c in CD2Cl2 at rt yielded a mixture of the corresponding alkenes and thiiranes, whereas that of 5b yielded 1,2-thiazetidin-2-ium salts 8b. A CH2Cl2 solution of 8b was treated briefly with aq. NaHCO3 at 0 °C to produce N-unsubstituted 1,2-thiazetidine10b.

*State Key Lab of Crystal Materials, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, P. R. China
Two new complexes, [Cu2(C3N3O3H2)4]·H2O, I, and [Zn(C3N3O3H2)2(H2O)4]·C3N3O3H3·H2O, II, have been synthesized by the reactions of cyanuric chloride (C3N3Cl3), melamine (C3N6H6) with CuCl2·2H2O and ZnCl2, respectively, through hydrothermal route. They were characterized by single crystal diffraction, elemental analysis, thermalgravimetry analysis. Furthermore, the photoluminescent properties of both I and II were studied. In complex (I), the Cu(II) is two coordinated in a linear fashion by two nitrogen atoms. The Zn(II) atom in complex (II) is surrounded by two nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms to complete a six-coordinate environment. The combination of hydrogen bonds and π····π stacking interactions extends complex (I), (II) into three-dimension architectures.
■ Reactivity of (R)-4-Phenyloxazolidine-2-thione Chiral Auxiliary: From Deprotection to Heterocyclic Interconversion
Jean-Christophe Monbaliu, Bernard Tinant, and Jacqueline Marchand-Brynaert*
*Unité de Chimie Organique et Médicinale, Département de Chimie, Université catholique de Louvain, Bâtiment Lavoisier, Place Louis Pasteur 1, B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Using (R)-3-benzyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-thione (2) as model compound, a sequence of reactions has been established that allows the chiral auxiliary deprotection to furnish a primary amine. Treatment of 2 with ethyl triflate (3b) followed by ring opening with RbI (4b) and HI elimination with DBU, in a one pot process, gave S-ethyl-N-benzyl-N-1-phenylvinylcarbamothioate (5, 95% yield) which acid hydrolysis (9) and saponification liberated benzylamine. Through a mechanistic study, we showed that the activated chiral oxazolidin-2-thione 3b is a tunable intermediate towards the corresponding oxazolidin-2-one 7, thiazolidin-2-one 8 and thiazolidin-2-thione 10. All those reactions were chemoselective and preserved the chiral center. A structural analysis of this series of heterocycles, by NMR and X-ray diffraction, has been performed.

Holi Festival Holiday in India 2023 – Date, Holika Dahan Time and Special Aspects
Festivals are an inherent part of Indian culture. Holi is one of the country's most vivid and colourful festivals that falls in the Hindu month of Phalguna. It is celebrated to mark the end of winter and the arrival of spring. This much-awaited transition in an agriculturally-inclined country like India is marked by boisterous celebrations. It involves people playing with colours and lighting bonfires. The act of smearing each other with coloured powder during Holi has earned it the moniker "festival of colours."
Read on to know Holi date 2023, its importance, how it is celebrated in different states in India and its 'muhurat'.
Observed By Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others
Observed In India, Nepal and countries with large Hindu population
Nature of Festival Religious, cultural, spring festival
Celebratory Rituals Holika Dahan, Kama DahanSpraying coloured powder, singing, dancing, feasting
Date in 2023 March 8, 2023
Most Indian states' educational institutions, workplaces, banks and government offices declare a holiday on Holi. In 2023, Holi will be celebrated across the country on March 8.
Holi falls on a different day each year as the Gregorian calendar does not determine it. It is based on the Hindu lunar calendar. This year, as mentioned above, Holi falls on March 8.
This year, the auspicious time for Holi is as follows:
Holika Dahan: March 7, 2023, 6:24 pm to 8:51 pm
Holi: March 8, 2023
Holi, as mentioned above, coincides with the arrival of spring. This means better opportunities for the farming community to increase their yield. As a result, it is considered the beginning of the arrival of prosperity. The date of the festival is determined by the Hindu lunar calendar and changes every year.
In India, the celebration of Holi has been mentioned in poems in the fourth and seventh centuries. This includes the famous Sanskrit play Ratnavali by Indian ruler Harsha. Like most other festivals in countries, the origins of Holi, too, can be traced back to stories in Indian mythology.
Popular belief connects the celebration of Holi to the legend of a demon king named Hiranyakashipu and his son, Prahlad. The legend goes that Hiranyakashipu, overcome by pride and arrogance, was convinced that he was God. He prohibited the worship of any other deities. This order came as a unique predicament to the king's son Prahalad, an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu.
When Prahlad refused to stop worshipping Lord Vishnu, his father decided to kill his son. However, Hiranyakashipu's attempts failed as Prahlad was protected by divine intervention. As a last resort, the king decided to rope in his sister, demoness Holika, to kill Prahlad. Holika, who had the gift of being untouched by fire, would sit on a bonfire with Prahlad on her lap. However, instead of Prahlad, Holika is burnt to ashes. Soon after, Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu and made Prahlad the King.
To symbolise the death of Holika – and thereby, the triumph of good over evil – bonfires are lit on the night before Holi.
Holi celebration usually spans two days. The first evening and the intervening night are observed as Holika Dahan. The second day involves people celebrating with colours, water and elaborate meals. The practice of celebrating with coloured powder has been attributed to legends and lores of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hindu mythology.

Holi is celebrated across the country over two days by the auspicious time window. The first day is dedicated to Holika Dahan, or the burning of demoness Holika. This is observed by lighting large bonfires that are allowed to burn throughout the intervening night. These bonfires represent Holika's pyre symbolically. This practice marks the end of evil and the rise of good.
The following day, the community – including families and friends – celebrates by applying coloured powder. The most common and widely used of this is gulal, a reddish-pink powder traditionally made using flowers. Water is also used as part of the celebration, with people mixing colours and water to splash on each other.
Elaborate feasts, dancing, music and other fun activities underline these celebrations. Bhang, made using the buds and leaves of the cannabis plant, is used in food and thandai (cool drink) preparation during Holi. The origins of this practice can be traced to stories from Shaivite philosophy.
Given the diversity of cultures within India, there are several ways in which Holi is celebrated across the country. The festival is celebrated in all its glory in the northern states of India, such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Delhi, among others. Several states also have their unique rituals associated with Holi. Let us take a look at some of them.
1. Braj
Braj is an area comprising UP, MP, Rajasthan and Haryana, West Bengal, Odisha and Assam. Here, Dol Jatra is a minor festival celebrated as part of Holi. It is dedicated to Hindu deities Lord Krishna and Radha and involves a religious procession. As part of it, deities are worshipped in swinging palanquins, accompanied by singing and dancing.
2. Uttar Pradesh (UP)
Holi is one of the most important festivals in UP. Here, Holi is accompanied by a ritual called Lath Mar Holi. Celebrated in Barsana, women playfully beat men with sticks as the men run for cover. This playful interaction is usually punctuated with singing and dancing.
3. Uttarakhand
Here, the festival involves a unique celebration called Kumaoni Holi. Celebrated by the people of Kumaon, Holi is a two-month celebration beginning on Basant Panchami. It involves three forms of festivities – Baithki Holi, the Khari Holi and the Mahila Holi. They are all marked by musical meetings. The community comes together to sing hymns and songs of spirituality with a touch of fun.
4. Punjab
In Punjab, Holi celebration is also marked with martial art and kusti competitions and performances. Community feasts are also organised.
5. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka
In these southern states, people celebrate Holi with colours and bonfires.
6. Kerala
In Kerala, the celebrations are more subdued with a visit to the local shrine and a hearty meal.
Given that Holi is declared a holiday by most sectors, it is usually celebrated in the company of friends and family. It is typical for community centres and public gardens to be opened up for large-scale celebrations.
Cultural Identity: Holi is an easily identifiable cultural marker for India. It has often been used as a metaphor for the world within India in several Western art productions.
Pop Culture: Holi has been an essential part of India's cultural context, given the representation it has received in pop culture. Holi has been immortalised in Indian art and literature. Countless movies have used the backdrop of the festival to set their songs. Interestingly, many such iconic songs have come to be played in Holi celebrations.
Unique Celebratory Rituals: Holi is celebrated differently in different parts of the country. There are several novel aspects of Holi that are not usually seen in other festivals. This includes celebration with colours, consumption of Bhaang, and dancing and singing. These practices have been traced to mythological stories that are an inherent part of the Indian identity.
Uttar Pradesh: One of the best places to celebrate Holi in India is Uttar Pradesh. Holi is one of the most important festivals in the state. It is celebrated with great pomp and glory in areas such as Braj, Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana and Nandgaon, which are closely associated with the stories of Lord Krishna.
Rajasthan: In Pushkar, located in Rajasthan, Holi is celebrated in a unique manner. Here, people celebrate Holi with flowers instead of colours while dancing to devotional songs.
Maharashtra: Mumbai is a great place to celebrate Holi as it is a melting pot of cultures. In addition to celebrations with colours, community celebrations by people from various states are organised throughout the city.
Holi is one of the most vibrant festivals in India and will fall on March 8, 2023. It is important in India's social context and has become one of the country's most important cultural indicators. It is celebrated to mark the end of winter and the arrival of spring. It also signifies the triumph of good over evil. Holi is celebrated by people showering each other with colours and water, followed by elaborate meals, singing and dancing.
Q1. Why does Holi not fall on the same day every year?
Ans: The date of the Holi festival is arrived at based on the Hindu lunar calendar. It does not follow the Gregorian calendar.
Q2. What is a Panchang?
Ans: Panchang is a Hindu almanack and calendar. It lists traditional Hindu timekeeping units that specify auspicious days, auspicious timings and associated calculations.
Q3. How long does the Holi festival last?

What Happens If I Find Another H-1B Visa Sponsoring Employer?
I was laid off last month, and my company has informed me that it sent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) a letter revoking my H-1B petition. What happens if I find another H-1B employer in the meantime?
The revocation does not prevent the approval of an H-1B by a new employer, although the ability to extend H-1B status in the U.S. is affected by whether or not the individual is maintaining H-1B status at the time the new employer files its H-1B petition. H-1B status is lost upon termination of the employment, not upon revocation of the H-1B petition.
It is necessary to make efforts to find another job as soon as possible and have the new employer sponsor another H-1B promptly. It is risky to remain in the United States without a valid immigration status. These risks include potential removal.
If an extension of status is requested, the USCIS will review the proof of status submitted with the new employer's case. This is normally in the form of current pay stubs. If there are not current pay stubs as proof of continuing status, it may not be possible to obtain an extension of stay - reflected in an approval notice with an I-94 at the bottom. Thus, the new employer's H-1B petition may be approved, but with an instruction to depart the U.S. and request a visa at a U.S. consulate. In this event, it would be necessary to travel abroad, obtain a new H-1B visa at the consulate if needed, and obtain a new I-94 card at the port of entry.


Art is far more than a simple pleasure.
First and foremost, art fills people with wonder. Through its beauty, complexities, fleeting and changing nature, it calls out, intrigues, and stirs emotion. Its nature and functions are manifold. Whether an object for contemplation or collection, art will always be an object of emotion.
Art is also the synthesis of a moment, of a society. It embodies the spirit of the times. Examining its varied aspects, art allows us to better understand our own current position within contemporary society, and also gives us precious keys to the past.
Secondly, Taylor's Art English cares about making the useful enjoyable and the enjoyable useful – thereby ensuring the effective and efficient improvement of language skills.
Finally, art is a great way to bring people together, to unite teams, and render intercultural exchanges all the more effective as well as pleasant. A real benefit of Taylor's Art English is that we allow people to meet others who share their professional and/or private interests.
Last but not least, beyond being a great source of pleasure, art has become a true cultural phenomenon in a whole new way, to the extent that it regularly makes headlines.
It would be a shame to not understand topical subjects or completely bypass a current cultural phenomenon that is very much a sign of our times.

Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant Ihejirika, on Wednesday, warned military officers against linking information on troops operations, warning that anyone caught would be severely punished.
Ihejirika, who spoke in Abuja at the Nigerian Army Transformation Seminar 2013 on the theme, 'Building Capacity of the Nigerian Army to Meet Contemporary Challenges,' disclosed that the officer that gave out information about the troops that were attacked at Okene had been apprehended.
Chairman, Senate House Committee on Defence, George Sekibo, assured that the release of the Boko Haram insurgents as directed by President Goodluck Jonathan was not to jeopardise the essence of the operation.
Sekibo said that the president, in giving the directive, might have seen ahead and as a politician, he had to protect the interest of the nation and that was why he was showing good faith in the state of emergency and not to witch-hunt anybody.
Giving the warning on the leakage of operation information, Ihejirika said: "I let me warn officers and soldiers who indulge in giving out information, both from Army Headquarters and other formations, that giving certain vital pieces of information, one way or the other, work negatively in our operations. As you are aware, a soldier gave out information about the movement of our troops back from Mali, the troops that were attacked at somewhere close to Okene.
"The soldier has been apprehended and he is going to be court-martialed. There are also some others that have been found to be posting negative comments on the internet. Some, indeed, communicate with insurgents. I want to state that any officer or soldier caught leaking information will be disciplined severely," Ihejirika stressed.
Against the backdrop of the rumour about lack of manpower in the Nigerian Army to tackle insurgents, the Army Chief said that they were always battle ready against any insurgency.
"We want to have a standing special operation unit that will perform if we have a special operation today, in collaboration with AFRICON. We are training over 1,000 soldiers for the Navy. We have also established a standing full-fledged Army Headquarters reserve Battalion, called 101 Battalion.
According to him, the commissioning would be done very soon.
