Paris Area
Let's meet some of the artists of the Marciano gallery, such as Joy's interview!
Founded in 1992 by Mickaël Marciano, the eponymous Marciano gallery proposes a selection of around 50 inspired artists. With the aim to democratize contemporary art through its several galleries, mainly located in Paris but also outside, feel free to discover them in those 7 complementary exhibition spaces.
Spreading from New Pop Art, passing by New Realism until Kinetic Movement, let you get seduced among a variety of artistic movements conveyed by these various emerging or illustrious artists. Thus, it's not a mystery that from painting to sculptures, figurative to abstract, the universe of the Marciano galleries stands out with its wide offer.
By the way, some of them have benefited of the Marciano support, notably for the realization and of course the promotion of their artworks. That's why, many of them decided to entrust the Marciano galleries with a worldwide exclusive distribution of their creations and we are glad to present you a couple of them, including an interview of the colorful artist Joy among other artistic treasures! By Alex Plato
Otherwise, while still specializing in contemporary art, you may also discover a wide selection of more experimented artists with a stronger notoriety. Therefore, you could count on Cesar, Arman, Appel, Chagall, Picasso and Dalí to name a few. Nonetheless, the Marciano galleries also represent the legacy of multiple renowned artists, such as Roger Suraud (photo credits: Marciano & Henri Saromsky).
Last but not least, as a real advocate for artistic democratization, Mickaël Marciano as well tends to convince anyone willing to start or expand his own art collection with good bases. For your information, even foundations and museums have already once purchased one those heterogeneous masterpieces. Therefore, let us introduce a couple of these featured artists, able to entertain your upcoming admiration.
Marciano Contemporary, 4 Place des Vosges, 75004 Paris (France) / Open everyday from 11h until 19h30 / Phone : 00 33 (0)1 84 83 44 44. More information on the official website.
Starting our Art tour with the enlightened designer Falcone, who is a full autodidact artist, while notably finding some of his roots in the art foundation of his grandfather. Learn more about this private Fondation Cherqui, located in Aubervilliers, open to the visit with its 5000 visible artworks, on the video below.
As a real passionate about geometric works and kinetics since his childhood, Falcone was also much inspired by the deconstructed tables of Carmelo Arden Quin. In this case, infinite colorful circles and squares always intrigued this multifaceted artist and eventually encouraged him to go further.
Thus, with the goal to multiply a contemplative image without an end, Falcone employs his favorite tools which are neon, plexiglass, and of course LED lights reflected by a mirror. All these ingredients are reunited to generate a sort of optical illusion as a guideline for an innovative and colorful art demonstration (photo credits: Falcone).
Furthermore, thanks to those electric special effects, Falcone enjoys the pleasure of a visual stimulation produced on the spectator's perception, essentially according to his position in front of the artwork. By the way, this magic solution would only become possible through the force of a complex electroluminescent display.
Based on the power of a tiny lightful diode (abbreviated as LED, for light-emitting diode) which is considered as an opto-electronic device able to spread light when it is traversed by electricity. While passing in one direction, the energy would eventually produce non-coherent monochromatic or polychromatic radiation from this electromagnetic interaction.
Thereafter, this constant and durable photon emission generates an amazing stylistic device based on different topical or abstract subjects, able to display an infinite ray of lights in your favorite exhibition hall.
More information on the official website.
In a different topic, let's have a look on this Italian artist Paola Grizi, born in Roma in 1968. It seems that her passion for Art had been transmitted to her by her grandfather, himself a renowned painter and sculptor. However, Paola started an initial career of journalist, after literary studies but her inner creative spirit emerged crescendo until the point of no return, and the desire to become an artist was so strong. Then, Paola wished to adapt her passion for writing and mostly mingle it with bronze material (photo credits: Paola Grizi).
Thereafter, letters and human nature intertwine and merge shape into a mystical interpretation of the countless dreams and sensations of the artist, all in relief. As if you were turning pages of a book or a magazine, this literary vision of Art enjoys an international recognition, where Paola has been rewarded with numerous and prestigious prizes. By the way, after having been a resident of the city of ChangChun, exhibited in numerous private collections, Paola recently had the opportunity to present her works at the international exhibition in the illustrious gardens of Etretat.
On top of that, among many awards, Paola Grizi even won the 3rd Biannual International Ceramic Contest of Ascoli Piceno; and she was invited twice in 2014 and 2015 by the Chinese Chanchun Municipality to represent Italy in the China Changchun International Ceramics Symposiums.
She also won the Special Public Award at the 35th CICA International Competition de L'Alcora in Spain and then went on to serve on the jury of the same contest in 2016. Additionally she was as well chosen by the Pontifical Gregorian University in collaboration with the Kunst-Station of Köln, in Germany for a Contemporary art project in the Church of Saint Peter, along with eleven other international artists.
Let yourself tempted by this incredible innovative structure of books and visages, massively shared on social networks, and you could maybe read what's on the artist's mind.
Thereafter, let's turn on the protean plastic artist Joy, based in the South of France where she lives her passion for a new type of Art, mixing fashion, music and Street-Art (photo credits: Joy).
Due to a successful career of stylist, fascinated by the powerful and original universes of Martin Margiela and Comme des Garçons, this multi-faceted artist decided to create her own ready-to-wear collections for women, spread in many boutiques all around the World. After an experience as a photo stylist for Elite Model, she got tempted with a bit of exotism and flown to Namibia, where she had the occasion to teach styling classes at the French Embassy, under the framework of Maryline Vigouroux.
When returning to France, she wished to look for a new way of expression and therefore painting became obvious for her. That's why, during 3 years, Clara painted large formats composed of plexiglass, which were exhibited in a couple of Parisian galleries, such as the Blumann and Kleiman entities. Thus, her first realizations were composed of large color drawings that she printed on a support, sublimed some additional relief provided by markers or spray cans. Time after time, Joy reached a certain amount of volume in her artworks, in memory of her long past in fashion styling, where the fabrics play a full role such as the materials employed in a sculpture.
As a soda enthusiast, especially sipped from cans, the artist also decided to adopt this Neo Pop-Art item as a real support inspiration for her future sculptures! Following the steps of illustrious predecessors, such as Andy Warhol who used to screenprint cans, while César enjoyed compressing them, here Joy opt to monumentalize them in Popy Cans. Starting from a prototype, shaped in a 1m40 high mold, which is declined under her flourishing imagination, as unique pieces of different sizes, where Joy employs her singular artistic sense with her own technics. Indeed, after ordering her resin cans, whose structures are realized by Arsculpt, near Valence, while the bronze pieces are made in Paris, in the Foundry Chapon. As far as we know, the creative process of Joy respects some specific guidelines, punctuated by precise stages details that make her Art so authentic.
Therefore, once she received cans from the several suppliers, her inspired spirit seems to melt in a dynamic interaction on a special way with each of those artworks. Fueled by the crazy energy of her own workshop and influenced by some pop music in movement, Joy breaks codes and displays her own vision of urban culture and more particularly Street-Art. In order to realize this joyful harmony, the artist mixes different materials, made for each other, through spray and casual paintings, adorned with some drawings and of course collages of famous photographies. Last but not least, these masterpieces are varnished three times, in order to provide enough resistance and brightness to highlight its multiple facets, while lasting as long as possible.
Adding to this, still faithful to her own inventiveness and mix of genres, Joy pursues her present artistic philosophy with more than ever originality. For instance, she has recently shown, during an exhibition in Monaco, her latest creations which are designed as monumental macarons. Here, these traditional French sweet pastries wear again a colorful and shiny robe, thanks to a lacquered covering, on which three beetles climb and delight this so yummy Parisian cake. With this new artwork, Joy tends to challenge her audience with new forms of expression with the combination of fashion and sculpture in an explicit avant-garde form. Then, she tells us more about it in some questions.
Hello Joy, firstly why did you take this Joy nickname? Where is located your workshop?
Hello, I have taken this nickname because Joy is my view of life, it represents my mind set; without joy, our life would be sad and dark. So, I wanted a nickname as joyful as my work. I think it's really important especially during this pandemic. We need more hope and more joy!
Could you please describe us your Art and your style? Could we consider it as Pop Art?
My art is like my nickname. Nevertheless, there is always a message through my work, there is often a reflection about our occidental society. For example: the Popy Can, my most famous sculpture is a questioning about our consumer society. Yes we can say that my art is pop art maybe a mix between pop art and new realism.
It seems that you had many careers, notably in fashion. Why did you switch to contemporary art?
Yes you are right I was a fashion designer before. I truly loved this job but one day, after a workshop with the French Embassy in Namibia as a fashion teacher, I decided to start a new life. As an artist, you have so much constraints in fashion, I needed to be free to be creative. But now I have enough maturity to be both artist and designer and mix this two arts.
In some of your recent pieces, there are customized cans and macarons. What do they symbolize to you?
Cans symbolize our society ; it's one of the most iconic object; Macaron is the most famous french cake, the most Parisian , it represents elegance.
Moreover, in some of these artworks, there is as well featured some luxury logos like Dior. Is there any reason or any partnership with those famous brands?
For the time being, I have no partnership setup but I hope I will soon.
At last, where could we find your artworks throughout the World?
We can find my artworks mostly in art galleries in France (Paris), Switzerland, in Italy (Venice) and in the US (Miami).

A: You have here established that past a threshold number of users, your service becomes unresponsive to new connections. You need to use stats and logging at the application server to determine what causes that issue. Hanging on new connections could be the result of contention in any number of resources:

*

*CPU, memory, or IO (vmstat will help with these)

*You could be hitting a ulimit for maximum number of open sockets, files or processes (this will be logged to syslog)

*Your application could be stuck waiting for access to an external resource, like a database, which itself could suffer from any of the resource contention issues described above.
In short: load testing, at least for the purposes of optimizing service performance under load, is only useful if you combine it with careful monitoring of the service you're testing in order to quantify its results. With that monitoring, load testing only tells you the threshold past which your service is no longer useable.

After 9 years of absence at kitefestivals in Taiwan, Volker went again to Taiwan for the Taipei New City North Coast Kitefestival.
With Elmo, Heart-Kites, Icecream and Spongebob in the bag, he could not fly those immeaditely. The event had to be changed during the 1st weekend. The reason was Typhoon Phoenix, in cooperation with public safety measures. No public events during typhoon.
Although I flew kites in worse circumstances (Berck sur Mer, Fanö, Scheveningen...) the kites were unpacked only for the presse flying and of course for the 2nd weekend.
During the 2nd weekend, the conditions were perfect with sunshine, steady wind and a big crowd of spectators.
The kite wedding drew a lot of audience, as the lolly pop drop and the stunt kite shows gave a nice ambience to the spectators.
And during the evening, many people gathered for the night flight with illuminated kites.
BaiShaWan is a great venue for kite festivals, as good wind, a nice beach and the near Taipei city allows many kites in the air and many spectators on the ground.

Henry Gomez to BuzzFeed, and Other Personnel Changes at Cleveland.com
by Sam Allard
Twitter: @HenryJGomez
Cleveland.com's Chief Politics Writer Henry Gomez has taken a position with BuzzFeed.
Business Insider reported Tuesday afternoon that Gomez will be covering the Republican Party in the age of Trump for the digital publication, and will be doing so not from Washington D.C. or New York City, but from good old Ohio.
Gomez consummated the announcement on Twitter:
So excited to announce I'll be covering the GOP for BuzzFeed. Thankful for 12 great years @clevelanddotcom & The PD. https://t.co/JlVzdjNp33
— Henry J. Gomez (@HenryJGomez) March 7, 2017
"Gomez will report to Katherine Miller, politics editor for BuzzFeed News, and will begin his new role in early April," reported Business Insider. "He will be based outside the beltway, reporting from Ohio — a notable detail, as some news organizations have said they plan to look outside the Northeastern "Acela corridor" for new hires in an effort to better represent Americans across the heartland."
If that's the case, BuzzFeed will be achieving the same broadening of geographical representation that Cleveland.com has been seeking in its post-election political coverage. Cleveland.com Editor Chris Quinn unveiled a reporting plan in January that involved regular travel by reporters to six locations across the state, the goal of which was to more intimately understand the effects of the Trump administration on a larger, more representative swath of the state's population.
But Gomez himself figured prominently in that new reporting plan.
"How can I get this far into a column about our politics plan without a mention of the state's number one politics writer?" Quinn wrote. "Gomez remains the backbone of our politics team, continuing to work his deep network of sources to provide you with insights you'll find nowhere else. As Ohio heads toward the 2018 election showdowns, with U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown's seat up for grabs along with the offices of the governor, attorney general, treasurer, secretary of state and auditor, count on Gomez to break the news first, along with informed analysis."
Gomez will now be breaking and analyzing that news for BuzzFeed — a huge gain for them, a huge loss for Cleveland.com.
The departure of Gomez arrives just weeks after Quinn got a big promotion. He was named the Editor and President of Advance Ohio, (an appointment we'll likely stylize as "Editor of Cleveland.com") after serving as "VP of Content" for Cleveland.com since 2013. The promotion coincided with the departure of Tim Knight, who arrived at what was then the Northeast Ohio Media Group in late 2015.
At an even more local level, the bylines are being shaken up. For years, Leila Atassi has been the publication's City Hall reporter. She is no longer on that beat, though a new, permanent assignment remains to be seen. Reporter Robert Higgs has taken over at City Hall, and he'll be the go-to guy as you follow the 2017 Mayoral and City Council races.

Right. I have to get this off my chest. A follow-on from my habitual coding observation in my previous article.
Great, assuming that you want to allow changes to the object later. But if you have no explicit requirement to change anything, then you have left the door wide open to abuse. Your setters are public. You have written too much code.
Less code to read, easy access to immutable fields.
My point is the following. If you have no definite requirement to change the values on a POJO, then make it immutable from the start! Only introduce mutator methods as they are required.
One final thing - yes, you can produce a similar result by using frameworks like Lombok to hide the 'getXyz()' methods, but why introduce further complexity of a framework when it can be done so elegantly natively?

Testimonials | Ketamine Clinics of Los Angeles | Steven L. Mandel, M.D.
The following testimonials are unique to our website. To find more reviews, visit us at the links below!
"Dr. Mandel has truly made my unlivable life, livable again. My ability to get out of bed early and or nearly right as I wake up has significantly improved. I'm able to keep up with my incredibly hectic schedule. My overall mood is high and lethargy is low. My social anxiety is at an all time low, and I haven't had a panic attack since my first infusion." – A.T.
"Dr Mandel you truly saved my life! I can live my life content and know that there is always hope it doesn't have to even get that bad! I know that you have changed my life forever ! For that I thank you and my family does as well! To people that are out there wondering if this can help you! I say what do you have to lose ? Things could truly only get better! There is hope!" – J.P.
"Something changed in me that made me go from, "I don't care if I live" to "I don't want to die" and now because of these treatments, I can share my story and let people know that life is worth living. As bad as it gets and as painful as it gets, we have a choice. We have the freedom to make that choice." – Tom B.
"I had tried and failed every other treatment out there short of psycho-surgery and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest electroshock. I had done years of psychotheraphy. dozens of anti-depresssants. Exercise, diet, and meditation. Stress reduction, self-help, and positive thinking.
Some of it helped, most did nothing and few made things worse. I was tormented by panic attacks, thoughts of death and suicide, constant anxiety and worry, negative thinking, pessimism, and low energy. It was a living hell, I assure you, and I'd almost given up….
Then I tried ketamine infusion therapy.
I did a single treatment at Dr. Mandel's clinic, and it cured me. One treatment. My response might not be typical, but for me ketamine was a miracle.
I don't know what these negative reviewers are talking about. I suspect they are delusional and psychotic because of their depression. I experienced bouts of extreme negativity and delusional thinking in the depths of my own despair, and truly feel compassion for people like Illiana – but believe her story to be fabricated based on my experience with the clinic and especially with Dr Mandel. Dr. Mandel always administers the first treatment, and if you want him to do all of them, you just have to ask to be scheduled for days and times when he is at the clinic. The man is a practicing anesthesiologist, and could make a hell of a lot more money knocking people out for surgery than treating depression. He's also in his 70s, so give him a break on the limited number of days (3 or so) per week he is in the clinic. Most Dr's in their 70ies are retired and out golfing full time.
As far as money, it was the best I ever spent, and much cheaper than say, 6 months of (ineffective) psychotherapy, and a LOT more convenient / less painful.
You do not have to pay for 6 treatments upfront. You are asked to pay for the first two. This is to cover the clinic's expenses related to intake interviews and the large number of people who (I imagine) flake out on them due to fear of the treatment, or just from depression itself. They are not trying scam anyone – quite the contrary – they are trying to offer the most effective treatment ever discovered for depression as affordably as possible given the costs associated with running a medical practice in Brentwood Los Angeles.
As far as it wearing off or stopping working, that is a possibility with any drug for any illness, so that is not a legitimate reason to avoid ketamine. I wouldn't do any more treatments than necessary to get to "normal" for that reason. Tolerance only occurs if you use too much of a drug for too long, and again, it can happen with any drug. Ketamine is powerful stuff. No way I would take it daily or even weekly after the first series. Maybe every month or two if I had too. If that didn't work, I might try more frequent dosing if I found relief, but if it stopped working, I wouldn't blame anyone – I'd be thankful that I'd been free of suffering for a while, would wait a few months, and give it another try.
Anyway – I highly recommend this clinic and the treatment they offer. It literally saved my life, and if you are depressed, anxious, or god forbid, suicidal, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to give this a try.
"I have suffered from treatment-resistant acute chronic depression for many years, and have tried essentially all of the treatment options available other than electroconvulsive therapy and trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. My psychiatrist is widely recognized as one of the best practitioners in the nation, and truly has saved my life on more than one occasion. Unlike many of his colleagues, he spends his time with me, not just prescribing medication for me.
My doctor recommended that I try Ketamine at this time because he considers that here is now enough clinical information to make an informed decision about its effectiveness and side effects, and specifically recommended Dr. Mandel, who even with a glowing recommendation from someone for whom I have tremendous respect vastly exceeded all of my expectations.
Not only did Dr. Mandel exceed my expectations with his attentiveness, care, and diligent follow-up, but his staff is extraordinary. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and well-trained.
The information made available to prospective patients is thorough, well-written, informative, and easy to understand. I felt well-informed, confident in Dr. Mandel as a provider, and hopeful for a good result when I first went in for treatment.
The treatment has also been hugely successful.
"I would like to say Dr.Mandel and his staff turned out to be a lifesaver for me, and I was in as bad a place as it gets. I was in my longest, worst funk in 30 years. This with a wife, kids, huge house, and massive business success.
I have been fighting depression off and on for years with no "magic bullet", anti depressants worked marginally, tried numerous of them, but ketamine is the treatment for those that WANT to get better but don't know how.
And the ketamine kicked the flakes up in the air for me to objectively look at and deal with, without wanting to jump off a building.
The first visit is strange, in fact I almost stopped and, but the miracle happened on number 4 and I started feeling better.
"It was 2016. I was at the lowest point I had ever been in my 20 years of battling depression. I'd tried pretty much every antidepressant on the market. Although they worked for me during the first 17 years of my depression, eventually they became ineffective. At one point (in 2010) I tried Vyvanse, a drug for ADHD, and it basically wiped out the illness completely. Unfortunately, it only lasted for about 2 1/2 years and then, like antidepressants, my body got used to it and it became ineffective. So in late 2015 / early 2016, I went on disability for depression. I was unable to do normal things like running errands, socializing…I slept a majority of the time. Finally, a good friend of mine sent me a Washington Post article about the use of Ketamine for the treatment of depression. I researched everything I could about it for a good year before I decided to go for the treatment myself. I was very hesitant, mainly due to the cost of the infusions, but I was out of options. Luckily my family offered to help with the financial part of things and I began my infusions in late February 2017.
I began to feel better after my first treatment and my mood continued to improve as I completed the entire course of 6. When I first started, I was at about a 2 (on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the most depressed and 10 being depression free). But the time I was done with all 6 infusions, I was at about a 7. I felt pretty good in the following weeks since but recently started feeling a drop. The past couple days have been pretty low (feeling about a 3 or 4). I was told that the effects of the initial 6-course treatment typically last about 3 months, however, I may be an exception. I know there are some options after treatment, including the use of prescription Ketamine lozenges to keep the glutamate levels up and booster infusions. I plan to contact Dr. Mandel to see what I can do. But in any case, the treatment definitely helped me, at least in the short term. I'll be sure to update this post regarding my progress.
"All of the staff were very helpful and communicative. They called me after I filled out a depression assessment on the website and were very clear on everything that was involved and what I needed to do. They took me in and started setting up right on time for every one of my appointments. I was always speaking with the doctor inside of 10 minutes. As unusual as the ketamine experience is, I knew that I was always well monitored and that any issues would be dealt with swiftly. The one time I felt bad anxiety, Dr. Mandel immediately provided medication to get me through it. He was also forthcoming with multiple kinds of medication to deal with the nausea that I'm prone to.
"I suffered severe depression and racing thoughts for many years, since childhood. I saw well-known psychiatrists, went to therapists, used a plethora of prescription drugs, and had exhausted the other treatments/procedures that were available. My condition was resistant to everything. I was out of options. My psychiatrist then suggested that I may want to give something called ketamine a shot. I was told there was nothing to lose, but, frankly, I didn't care if there was, because I was out of options, and I really needed something, anything.
When I called Dr. Mandel's office, I was immediately treated with kindness and compassion by a very helpful and knowledgeable staff – his staff and nurses are great. I even spoke with Dr. Mandel himself the day I called, which really surprised me (to this day, he is very responsive and available). I was able to schedule an initial set of treatments right away. Although hopeful, I was EXTREMELY pessimistic – nothing worked in the past, so why would this work? But, I was at the point of not being able to function day to day, whether in my occupation as a white-collar professional, or with my family.
The first treatment put me into a place I have never been. During the infusion, I actually experienced happiness, albeit for a relatively brief moment, but I had not experienced happiness since I could remember. I continued the treatments, and the results were incredible. Although I was not fully cured of all of my issues, and still take prescription drugs, I came a LONG, LONG way. I was taken from a really bad place, where I was struggling to function day to day, to a place where I was more functional than ever (including more energy for physical activity), and able to experience joy from time to time, which was once unfathomable to me. I became so much less depressed, and, my racing thoughts were mostly gone. The ketamine is the only treatment that has ever given me real relief, and the relief is significant.
"I've had six infusions; they changed my mood/life greatly. Prior to my first infusion I was ready to hang myself. For several years I had been on SSRI's and mood stabilizers which didn't help (or barely helped). My mood had become so low such that, this past summer, I gave away (or threw out) 90% of my personal possessions in 'preparation' to check out.
I now feel like my former self and suicide is the last thing on my mind. The cost of the infusions is a penny considering that my suicidal-level depression is gone.
I'm a 52 yo woman and have been depressed for more than 30 years. I have tried every possible combination of medications, have been in therapy for 25 years, and while this has been extremely helpful and has certainly kept me alive, it didn't make being alive anything other than bearable at best.
I went to Ketamine Clinics out of desperation: two years in the slough of despond, and I was close to sinking. It was truly a miracle. After my first infusion, I simply wasn't depressed any more. It was as if a heavy, grey, clinging pall of awfulness had been removed from my mind. I now feel "normal," and it's such a relief and blessing to be free of that terrible existential dread and despair. It's been more than four months now, and though I wouldn't say I get out of bed with a spring in my step — all my old problems (and they are many and major) are still there and they still make me sad and worried — I am Still Not Depressed.
Dr. Mandel and the nursing staff are incredible. Kind, compassionate, completely competent and professional. More than that, they seemed to take a personal interest in me and my situation. Having the infusions is a rather weird experience, but I always felt completely safe and was confident that if anything *too* weird started happening, I would get effective attention and help immediately. I have had no side-effects (beyond a bit of memory lag, which is resolving) and, as I said, I have been depression-free for almost 5 months. This is a record for me.
"I have struggled for months at a time with depression in my life. After trying several different types of anti-depression medications over the years, with no helpful solutions. I read about the significant benefits and results that can be had with ketamine infusions.
Starting out skeptical, I researched and explored the idea of an infusion. Hesitant at first, it took my partner and closest friend to convince me to try it. Preparing for another disappointment, I headed in for my first treatment.
and His staff. It is Comforting to know I can count on a treatment that Helps and I Hope others can achieve the Benefits and Instant Relief that this treatment can Deliver.
Looking forward to more research and Advancement of this treatment.Maybe Providing a Credible anser to Solving this Horrible condition that so many face.
"Dr, Steven Mandel is a fabulous physician and person. He is a very talented anesthesiologist who is careful with and caring of his patients. He is detailed oriented and ever vigilant. I am a physician and am very careful who I send those I care most about to for care. Dr. Mandel has taken care of my family and I recommend him without reservation. He represents best care in medical practice!


Rep. Adam Koenig, R-Erlanger, (left) speaks with Rep. D. Chad McCoy, R-Bardstown, on the House floor.
For over 50 years now, countless vehicles have traveled from Northern Kentucky into Ohio, and vice-versa, on the Brent Spence Bridge. Whether it be to transport goods, travel, or engage in commerce, Brent Spence has been heavily utilized over the years, and this traffic has taken its toll. Currently operating at nearly three times of what it was designed to carry, a new bridge is essential, yet this project has repeatedly been kicked to the curb. However, thanks to the current administration, the needs of Northern Kentucky, Greater Cincinnati and the entire Midwest could soon be placed near the front of the line in Washington D.C.
According to recent media reports, replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is number two on the President's list of infrastructure priorities. While this alone is welcome news for our region, the details are even better. This $2.5 billion project, which will directly create 2,200 jobs, would be half-funded by private investors, is a boon to the taxpayers whose dollars are normally spent without concern. And those jobs aren't even accounting for the increased economic activity that is sure to come as a result of the construction of a newer, more modern bridge.
Partnering the private sector with government can produce tangible benefits in a much more efficient manner. This was our thinking behind the passage of House Bill 309 last session, which set up a regulatory framework for Public-Private Partnerships, or P3's, in Kentucky. It was an honor for me to support this legislation, which Governor Bevin signed into law in 2016. P3's allow the public and the private sector to partner in financing capital projects, and other government services. I was proud to vote for this bill, which now allows for our government to join with businesses to move forward on transportation projects. In addition, and as a protection for Northern Kentuckians, HB 309 specified that no tolls would be put on the Brent Spence Bridge. This ensures that we lessen the burden placed on Northern Kentuckians as the process moves forward.
Government needs to be innovative and begin partnering with the other institutions of our society, whether it be other governments, or the private sector. Collaboration is key, and P3's are an invaluable tool for the government to use to more efficiently service its citizens. Although detractors can always find occasional issues, these projects have been extraordinarily successful across the country, and it's time we capitalize on their effectiveness.
It is heartening that President Trump realizes this, as stimulating private business is good for economic growth and job creation. This is particularly important in this case, as the current bridge has been labeled "functionally obsolete" by the National Bridge Inventory. The impact of this move on our region is immeasurable, and fantastic for the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area as a whole.
Northern Kentucky is a thriving area with an emerging economy, sound communities, and an active and engaged citizenry. New opportunities have allowed for our businesses to grow and our communities to succeed, but our infrastructure has not kept up with the challenges of the 21st century. In order to build a 21st century economy, then we must have top-rate infrastructure to match it. This is why it is critically important for construction to begin on a new Brent Spence Bridge, and I look forward to seeing the role that private sector investors will play in the project.
While we will continue to wait and see what the final transportation plan looks like, I look forward to seeing the necessary planning and permitting begin. I look forward to seeing the 115th Congress work with the President to rebuild our nation's infrastructure, so that we have the necessary resources for our industries and people to succeed. I commend the new administration for their decision, and I'm excited to work with our federal delegation to get this project done.

Lampard thinks transfer ban will just bring Chelsea closer together
By blue admin	 On Sep 8, 2009
The Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has said that he is not worried about any bad effects coming from the UEFA ban on Chelsea's transfer dealings for the next 12 months.
"A lot of things have happened to me in my career with England and Chelsea and whenever it's backs to the wall, for whatever reason that might be, it brings a togetherness and can be used as a positive," Lampard said.
"You certainly can't let it be used as a negative. It's something that is out of the players' control anyway, so all we can do now is make it a positive."
He also was asked about the difficulty of young English players to come through the ranks into the Premier League, which has especially been lacking at Chelsea. John Terry was the last Chelsea first-team player to come out of their academy.
"It's a general question that certainly shouldn't just involve Chelsea and we all want to see good young English kids coming through," Lampard said.
"In the modern day, the academies go out and look for players from abroad – and that's the right thing to do as it is all to the benefit of the club. But there's lots of English kids at Chelsea and it's great to see.
"Fans obviously prefer a local boy to come through because they can relate to them. It's changed a bit since my day, but we should always look for the best English players to develop.
"I relate to English boys and will always try and help them, but it's not easy at Chelsea. I played in the first team [for West Ham] at 17, 18, but there was nowhere near the quality there is at Chelsea.
"So it's not easy for the young lads – they have to keep their heads down for a longer period of time and be even more determined and work even harder to get where they want to be."
Hopefully the new rules coming in will make it a little easier for English lads, but at the moment…………

Williams launch FW29 (and a general round-up)
by Seb Patrick
2007 Honda Red Bull Williams
And the pictures that were leaked last month prove to be genuine, albeit with slight differences (look at the angle of the Lenovo brand on the sidepod) – I'm guessing that those original photos were of test mock-ups or something.
It continues Williams' recent tradition of having the nicest, smartest liveries on the grid; but weirdly, as I mentioned back when posting the leaked pictures, it actually feels more like a step back towards the 2001-05 BMW Williams livery. The shade of blue is lighter than on last year's car, and the overall arrangement is more in keeping with that BMW design. I'm not sure it's as nice as last year's, but it's still a good livery, which is pleasing to see when you consider how bad (or boring) some of the others have been this year.
The uniforms, too, are quite nice and simple – albeit with perhaps a bit too much white as opposed to blue. It's interesting, too, to note the prominence that Lenovo get as opposed to title sponsor AT&T. It's unclear as to whether or not this will be the car to help Williams bounce back from their 2006 slump, but it's certainly a nice-looking one.
Meanwhile, two more launches have taken place since the Renault Monstrosity, but they were fairly devoid of interest so I didn't report on them at the time, preferring to wait until the Williams launch to mention them. Honda launched their car, but we're being forced to wait for their "dramatic" new livery (they've been running it in all black, which I'd be more than happy to see be the basis of the final look, actually – we haven't had a decent all-black car since the gorgeous '98 Arrows, and it's about time); while Red Bull, as expected, launched something that looked almost exactly the same as previous years, albeit with a slightly different configuration of lines across the side and nose, and a new sponsor in the form of Metro. Nice uniforms, though.
Only three teams left to launch, now (along with the Honda livery, of course), over the course of February and March; and so, as the season starts to get underway, in addition to commenting on any changes that teams' looks undergo, I'll start getting to work posting some of the retrospective articles that I've got planned. I'll be starting by looking at the histories of some famous teams' liveries – so expect articles soon on Benetton, Jordan and Arrows…

Lists of Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year
The lists of Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year (for each year) are ten-word lists published annually by the American dictionary-publishing company Merriam-Webster, Inc., which feature the ten words of the year from the English language. These word lists started in 2003 and have been published at the end of each year. At first, Merriam-Webster determined its contents by analyzing page hits and popular searches on its website. Since 2006, the list has been determined by an online poll and by suggestions from visitors to the website.[1]
The Words of the Year usually reflect events that happened during the years the lists were published. For example, the Word of the Year for 2005, 'integrity', showed that the general public had an immense interest in defining this word amid ethics scandals in the United States government, corporations, and sports.[2] The Word of the Year for 2004, 'blog', was looked up on the Online Dictionary the most as blogs began to influence mainstream media.[3] In 2006, Merriam-Webster received a lot of publicity as 'truthiness', a word coined by Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report, topped the list.[4]
1 Selection process
2 Words of the Year
Selection process[edit]
When the Word of the Year was started in 2003, Merriam-Webster determined which words would appear on the list by analyzing page hits and popular searches to its website.[1] For example, the 2003 and 2004 lists were determined by online hits to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and Online Thesaurus and to Merriam-WebsterCollegiate.com.[5][6] In 2006 and 2007, Merriam-Webster changed this practice, and the list was determined by an online poll among words that were suggested by visitors to the site.[1] Visitors were requested to vote for one entry out of a list of twenty words and phrases. The list consisted of the words and phrases that were frequently looked-up on the site and those that were submitted by many readers.[4] From 2008 onwards, however, user submissions have not been a deciding factor, and the list has been composed only of the words which were looked up most frequently that year. Merriam-Webster said that the reason for the change was that otherwise ordinary words were receiving so many hits that their significance could not be ignored.[7]
Words of the Year[edit]
This section needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (December 2019)

(noun) A strip fixed to something to hold it firm.[23]
John Morse, president of Merriam-Webster, pointed out that "the most frequently looked up words are not the newest words, not the latest high-tech terms, not the cool new slang."[6] Instead, these top ten words correlated to breaking news stories and world events in 2003. The top word democracy correlated to the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime,[24] quarantine to a SARS epidemic, and matrix to the film The Matrix Revolutions.[6]
blog (noun) Online journal where the writer presents a record of activities, thoughts, or beliefs.[25]
incumbent (noun) A person that possesses an ecclesiastical benefice or other office.
(adjective) Lying on; resting on a person, obligatory.[26]

defenestration (noun) The act of throwing a thing or person out a window.[34]
In 2004, blogs were becoming highly popular and began to influence mainstream media. During the twelve-month period that decides the word of the year, the term blog had the most requests for a definition or explanation, so a new entry was placed in Merriam-Webster's printed dictionary for 2005. The other words on this list, such as incumbent, electoral, and partisan, were associated with major news events, such as the United States presidential election of 2004 or natural disasters that hit the US.[3]
integrity (noun) Adherence to moral or ethic principles; incorruptibility.[35]
refugee (noun) One who flees for protection from danger or distress; one who flees to another country or place for safety.[36][37]

inept (adjective) Not apt or fitting, inappropriate; lack of judgement, sense, or reason; foolish; bungling or clumsy; incompetent.[42]
For 2005, integrity was the most looked-up word in Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary.[43] According to John Morse, President of Merriam-Webster, the word integrity slowly moved up the list to first place in 2005 because ethics scandals emerged around the United States regarding corporations, government, and sports,[2] such as the CIA leak investigations, scandals in Congress, and disgraced athletes.[35]
Hurricane Katrina, the bird flu, and the death of Pope John Paul II renewed public interest in words such as refugee, tsunami, pandemic, conclave, and levee. The word refugee was also a candidate for the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year; according to Morse, the term gained notoriety as the entire country debated with how to describe people affected by Hurricane Katrina.[2] The debate, over whether refugee was the proper term to describe displaced residents or whether the term was pejorative, summoned several Americans to look up the word in their dictionaries to form their own opinion. The word refugee received more queries in one month than most words in an entire year.[35] The word insipid made the Top 10 list after Simon Cowell described Anthony Fedorov's performance in American Idol as "pleasant, safe, and a little insipid."[2] At number 10 is inept, a word that received a lot of attention after the days when President George W. Bush delivered a live prime time news conference that came to an awkward end when some television networks cut him off to return to their regularly scheduled programs.[44]
truthiness (noun) Truth coming from the gut, not books; preferring to believe what you wish to believe, rather than what is known to be true.[45]
google (verb) Using the Google search engine to look up information about a person.[46]
decider (noun) A person who settles things in dispute or doubt.[47]
war (noun) A contest of armed forces between nations, countries, or parties.
(verb) To be in conflict or state of opposition.
(adjective) Related to, of, belonging to, used in, or due to such a contest or conflict.[48]
terrorism (noun) Use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a person, especially for political purposes.[49]
vendetta (noun) A blood feud;[50] prolonged and bitter feud, rivalry, or contention.[51]
sectarian (adjective) Pertaining to factions united under one doctrine, such as religious denominations;[52][53] narrow-minded.[54]
quagmire (noun) Soft, wet, boggy land;[55] a situation from which extrication is difficult.[56]
corruption (noun) Lack of integrity or honesty; decay; impairment of virtue and moral principles; undermining moral integrity; inducement by a public official with improper means to violate duties, for example, bribery.[57]
After online visitors chose truthiness in a five-to-one majority vote as the Word of the Year of 2006,[58] Merriam-Webster received a large amount of publicity.[4] This was the first year in which Merriam-Webster used online voting to decide its Word of the Year.[59] The term was created by Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central in The Colbert Report's first episode,[60] which took place on October 2005,[61] to describe things that he fervently believes to be the case regardless of the facts.[62] In addition, truthiness became the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year for 2005.[59]
Word[63]
w00t (interjection) Expressing joy.[63]
Facebook (verb) To post a picture or other information to profile pages at the trademarked social networking website Facebook.[64]
conundrum (noun) A riddle whose answer is or involves a pun; question or problem with only a conjectural answer; intricate and difficult problem.[65]
quixotic (adjective) Foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; loftily romantic or extravagantly chivalrous; capricious or unpredictable.[66]
blamestorm (verb) To hold a discussion in order to assign blame to a person for a failure.[67]
sardoodledom (noun) "A play with an overly contrived and melodramatic plot."[68]
apathetic (adjective) No feeling or passion, indifferent.[69]
Pecksniffian (adjective) Hypocritically benevolent.[70]
hypocrite (noun) Person who pretends to have virtues, beliefs, or principles that he or she does not actually possess.[71]
charlatan (noun) A person who pretends to have more knowledge and skill than he or she actually possesses.[72]
John Morse, President of Merriam-Webster, said that the word w00t was a good choice because it "blends whimsy and new technology".[73] Spelled with two zeros in leetspeak, w00t reflects a new direction in the English language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text messaging.[74] While the word itself has not been published in its printed dictionary yet, Merriam-Webster claims that its presence in the Open Dictionary and the honors it's been awarded gives w00t a better chance at becoming an official word.[75][76] It originally became popular in online gaming forums and is now used as an expression of excitement and joy. The word is also considered an acronym in the online gaming world for the phrase We owned the other team.[64] This word was also used in the 1990 film Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts exclaimed "Woot, woot, woot!" to her date's friends during a polo match.[77]

Austerity was the most searched-for word of 2010. Interest in the word reached its highest point around May 1,[100] the day the Greek government announced a series of austerity measures, but its popularity remained strong throughout the year. Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster editor-at-large, said: "Austerity clearly resonates with many people. We often hear it used in the context of government measures, but we also apply it to our own personal finances and what is sometimes called the new normal." Barack Obama used the word shellacking in November 2010, when acknowledging his party's losses in the US mid-term elections,[101] and lookups of ebullient peaked in October, as thirty-three Chilean miners were successfully rescued after 69 days trapped underground.[102]
Word[103]

capitalism (noun) A socio-economic system based on private property rights, including the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a market unregulated by the state.
vitriol (noun) Bitterly abusive language.
après moi le déluge (foreign term) "After me, the deluge", a remark attributed to Louis XV of France in reference to the impending end of a functioning French monarchy and predicting the French Revolution.
The word pragmatic was looked up on Merriam-Webster's website an unprecedented number of times in 2011.[103] Although the popularity of the word wasn't linked to any specific event, it received the greatest amount of interest in the latter half of the year, as the United States Congress introduced the Budget Control Act, and its Supercommittee began to craft deficit-reduction plans.[104] Ambivalence was also a popular word throughout the year; John Moore, President of Merriam-Webster, remarked: "We think it reflects the public attitude toward a wide range of issues, including the economy, the ongoing debates in Washington, the presidential election, and most recently the race for the Republican Party nomination." The term vitriol was used frequently in the wake of the January 2011 Tucson shooting, which led to a national debate about political rhetoric.[103]
In November 2011, political commentator David Gergen rounded off a CNN article (entitled "Have they gone nuts in Washington?") with the phrase "après moi, le déluge".[105] The expression, attributed to Louis XV, typifies the attitude of those who don't care about the future, because they won't be around to face the consequences of their actions.[106]

marriage (noun) The state of being married; A union of two or more people that creates a family tie and carries legal and/or social rights and responsibilities; A ceremony in which people wed.

malarkey (noun) Nonsense; rubbish.
schadenfreude (noun) Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else's misfortune.

The popularity of many of the words on Merriam-Webster's 2012 list were influenced by the commentary and debate that surrounded that year's US presidential election. Socialism and capitalism were frequently referred to during the party conventions and the televised debates; interest in socialism spiked on the day of the election – November 6, 2012.[102] The word malarkey was used several times by Joe Biden during his vice-presidential debate with Paul Ryan on October 11,[107] and meme captured the public imagination after a remark made by Mitt Romney about "binders full of women", on October 16, went viral.[108]
Touché remained a popular word throughout the year. This was partly as a result of a new technology of the same name being announced by Disney Research; however, John Morse, President of Merriam-Webster, suggested that touché was "simply a word enjoying a period of increased popular use, perhaps as a byproduct of the growing amount of verbal jousting in our culture, especially through social media".[102]

metaphor (noun) a word or phrase for one thing that is used to refer to another thing in order to show or suggest that they are similar; An object, activity, or idea that is used as a symbol of something else
The popularity of the word science in 2013 was driven by debates around climate change and science in education. Further debates around pseudoscience and whether science can answer all of life's questions further drove its popularity.
Cognitive's popularity was principally driven by ongoing issues with relation to concussion in American professional sports. The popularity of rapport and communication was principally driven by Edward Snowden's revelations around the NSA's global surveillance.[109]

The suffix -ism goes all the way back to Ancient Greek, and was used in Latin and medieval French on its way to English. Originally, it turned a verb into a noun: think of baptize and baptism, criticize and criticism, or plagiarize and plagiarism. It has since acquired many other uses, including identifying a religion or practice (Calvinism, vegetarianism), a prejudice based on a specific quality (sexism, ageism), an adherence to a system (stoicism, altruism), a condition based on excess of something (alcoholism), or a characteristic feature or trait (colloquialism).[112]

Searches for they increased by 313% in 2019 over 2018; the use of they to refer to one person whose gender identity is nonbinary was added to the Merriam-Webster.com dictionary in September 2019. Quid pro quo is most often used in legal texts, and interest in the term is primarily attributed to the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Interest in crawdad is attributed to the novel Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. A Boeing pilot used egregious in describing an issue with the Boeing 737 MAX groundings. The Ohio State University tried to patent the word The. Attorney General William Barr used snitty to describe the Mueller Report; Merriam-Webster describes the word as "a child of the 1970s."[118] On January 23, The Washington Post columnist George Will wrote, "During the government shutdown, Graham's tergiversations—sorry, this is the precise word—have amazed."[118] A fashion exhibit at The Met sparked interest in camp.

An onlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Porcelain onlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. Porcelain onlays are made in a single visit with our Cerec computer onsite, with no impressions and no temporaries.
Gold onlays are made by a professional dental laboratory and are permanently cemented onto the tooth about two weeks later.
An onlay procedure usually requires about two hours from start to finish, as we create, mill and glaze your porcelain onsite.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will remove any decay and/or old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared, shaping the surface to properly fit an onlay restoration. A computer photograph is taken with the Cerec computer, and you get to relax with a movie or checking your email while we make the onlay for you.
