The Dubai-based Welsh teen had lead overnight but a pair of bogeys on his opening two holes saw his bid flounder. Bishop eventually finished with a 54-hole total of 207, four shots behind eventual overall champion Ting-Yu Chen (Chinese Taipei) who also easily waltzed away with the U-18 title.
Bishop’s consolation was to hoist the U-16 crown by four-shots from serial Faldo Series champion and Jumeirah Golf Estates club-mate Hill.
Chen coped well with the pressures of sleeping on an overnight lead by adding a 68 to his glittering second round 65 to be crowned Faldo Series Europe Grand Final Champion.
The Al Ain event signalled the conclusion of the 22nd year of the Faldo Series Europe that has seen 1500 participants compete over 14 events held in 10 countries. The international flavour was exemplified in the five winners hailing from five separate countries around the world; Slovakia, Chinese Taipei, Wales, England and Kazakhstan.
Boys’ Under-21: 210* – Michael Brezovsky (SVK); 210 – Paul Murphy (IRE).
Boys’ Under 18: 203 – Ting-Yu Chen (TPE); 212 – Max Kennedy (IRE).
Boys’ Under 16: 207 – Toby Bishop (WAL); 211 – Josh Hill (ENG).
Girls’ Under 21: 206 – Emily Brennan (ENG); 207 – Ebonie Lewis (ENG).
Girls’ Under 16: 212 – Rivekka Jumagulova (KAZ); 223 – Rachel Foster (SCO).

Each time I've met him he's been so kind and very entertaining - and I have to say I'm working my way through his book - which is quite a read. Very honest (but not in a sensationalist way like some books) but also very insightful - I'm really enjoying it.

This type of axe was designed primarily as a throwing weapon. It has a distinctive arch-shaped head, widening toward the cutting edge and a short haft length of around 16-18 inches. If, or when, the does hurl his axe, a long sword is still at his side. His heavy cloak would keep him warm and dry and is woven in a simple pattern of gray wool.

Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt to hold tripartite meeting on Libyan crisis
Tunisian Foreign Minister Khemaies Jhinaoui (C), Algerian Minister for Maghreb and Africa Affairs Abdel Kadir Mesahil (L) and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry (R)
The foreign ministers of Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt will hold a tripartite meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Alegeria to discuss the situation in Libya, an Algerian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Sunday, Xinhua reported.
“This meeting is also part of continuous consultations between Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt over the crisis hitting Libya since 2011, as foreign ministers of these three nations are due to assess the political and security developments there,” spokesperson, Abdelaziz Benali Cherif, said in a statement, Xinhua added.
“The meeting aims to reinforce the political process in Libya... on the path towards sustainable peace and national reconciliation,” the spokesperson said, according to Xinhua.
In May, Algeria hosted the 11th ministerial meeting of Libya’s neighboring nations and the participants reiterated their support for a political settlement of the crisis, Xinhua said.
The meeting gathered representatives of the six neighboring nations of Libya — Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Chad, Sudan and Egypt — and representatives of the United Nations (UN), the African Union, the Arab League and the European Union, Xinhua indicated.
The participants adopted a 26-point statement, encouraging Libyan protagonists to join the dialogue and peace process and reiterating their commitment to support Libyans to head towards national reconciliation in a bid to pave the way for building strong political, military and security institutions so as to safeguard the unity and integrity of Libya, Xinhua added.

I have been working full-time and at the same time preparing for civil service examinations. I have already taken leaves for main exam preparations. Shall I apply for further leave during interview preparations too?
No, you need not take further leave after the main exams. Preparations for main exams needs complete concentration and dedication as compared to the interview preparations that can be done if you take out a few hours before or after work. What you need to take care of is the timing and dedication to not skip the preparatory hours for anything else. Obviously, you will have to ensure that you increase the hours of preparations as the date nears. This can be done alongside academics or a fulltime job as in your case. As the date of interview nears, you can consider taking a leave for a couple of days to get mentally prepared and relaxed, flushing out work pressure and any other distraction which might get you tired. If you are an outsider or non-resident of Delhi, then a leave is evident in correspondence to travelling schedule, for which you might apply in advance. Apart from these, if you have started the interview preparations late or joined a preparatory program, you might consider scheduling your work timing accordingly for the days that follow, temporarily. In either case, do remember to take a couple of days off to clear your mind and relax along with the final preparations. Good luck!

Otis’ head, in two parts
I gotta get out. My cube is too small. I’ve made it smaller by inserting earphones in my head and shutting out the din of the office. Occasionally I’ll get up and walk around, but every door seems closed. Right now, I’m listening to the Falcon Ridge disc Susannah made a couple years ago. It was a get-rowdy disc she made for her friends, even those who couldn’t make it. It’s taken my head to some Northeastern farm field. My body, though, is stuck in a half-cubicle. It’s almost scary.
I’m a little paranoid, I think.
I’ve pretty much completed my work for the day. That makes the office seem even smaller. At least when a major project is on the horizon, there is a vast expanse of paper and responsiblity.
I should let myself admit that I just don’t care right now. My heart is with my wife and kid at home in a series of feedings and naps. My ambition is wrapped up in a fanciful world that I’m afraid to admit exists. My head is about 75 miles north of here, beside a lake, bobbing to music as it bounces across the water like skipped rock.
But here I am and I feel so trapped I’m on the verge of a panic attack.
I suppose if I just let myself go, let myself gently into the frame my mind is taking on, I’d just get up and walk out, put on a pair of cheap sunglasses, get behind the wheel, and just drive around in the sun for a while. That usually settles me down.
As I write this, I type a paragraph or two, sit and stare at the picture son my desk for a few minutes, write a screenplay to the soundtrack in my ears (now, Lyle Lovett’s much-too-solemn “Step Inside This House” Disc 2), then return to typing, just to see words on the screen.
I need to stop opening my head before I know what horses are going to run out. A smarter Otis would not write as he thinks.
I’ve since switched to Big Smith’s first disc which has lightened my mood slightly.
With that in mind, here are the things that I don’t want to talk about at LEAF this weekend:
1) My current job
2) My job prospects
3) With the exception of my son being born, an
4) Anything related to the presidential race
5) Anything related to the war in Iraq
And here are the things I want to do at LEAF:
1) I want to make an effort to see more music than I usually do. Foremost, I want be sure to see Billy Joe Shaver and Acoustic Syndicate in their entirety.
2) I want to sit by the fire and talk.
3) I want to make it to the drum circle, but make no commitments.
4) I want to convince Mrs. Otis that it is okay to have fun again.
5) I want it to be like it was five years ago when I hit the mountain for the first time.
Yeah, that should just about do it.

Moussa Dembele considered by Manchester United
written by David O'Neill 08/17/2022
Manchester United could move for Moussa Dembele as their hunt for attacking reinforcements continues.
The French forward has been linked with a move away from Olympique Lyonnaise for the past few seasons.
Dembele is on the radar of many of Europe’s top clubs, with only a year remaining on his contract in France.
He has often been touted as a potential Premier League centre forward and has already rejected a move to Everton this summer.
Villarreal are another potential suitor, although Dembele does not appear keen on a move to the Yellow Submarines at this stage.
Dembele did not enjoy much success during his last stint in Spain, having joined Atletico Madrid on loan in 2021, but featuring in only five substitute appearances for the side.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Dembele has been under consideration by United for quite some time.
The club reportedly remain in contact with the forward’s representatives.
With Cristiano Ronaldo apparently a source of disharmony at the club and Anthony Martial the only other recognised striker at the club, United lack firepower.


"We really see this as a bridge product," Longfellow said. "With DVD-RAM we've had great success so far, but the market's been holding back for [the] 4.7-Gbyte [next-generation format], which is right around the corner."
"My first reaction is that it's a killer product," Bourdon said. "It puts the best of both worlds-the functionality of CD-R/RW and the ability to read DVD-ROM discs-in the same box, and with good performance."

In 2013, the Tennessee Legislature passed dramatic reforms to the Workers’ Compensation Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-6-101, et seq., which went into effect on July 1, 2014. It would be impossible to provide a full summary of those changes in this space, but here are some of the most significant ones:
The legislature eliminated the old system of paying permanent disability benefits. Instead of capping employees who returned to their pre-injury employment making the same or greater wage at 1.5 times the impairment rating, all employees receive benefits in the amount of their percent impairment at the time they are placed at MMI. Additional benefits are provided if the employee fails to return to work for any employer and meet certain educational, age or demographic criteria which may result in additional benefits.
The 2013 Workers’ Compensation Reform Act also removed workers’ compensation claims from the jurisdiction of Tennessee circuit and chancery courts. The Act created the new “Court of Workers’ Compensation” which will be an administrative court under the Department of Labor umbrella. All claims will be tried before the administrative courts and initial appeals will be heard by a newly created appeals panel. Once that process is completed, parties will have the right to a direct appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court.

They called him the Bishop of essential things. In an age that was noted for tragic and painful events, he was outstanding as a father for his priests and a zealous pastor of the people, always close to the people, especially in moments of difficulty and danger. In this way he anticipated what the Second Vatican Council emphasized when it taught that evangelization was "one of the principal duties of bishops" (Christus Dominus, n. 12; cf. Redemptoris missio, n. 63).

white vinegar (x2... one in the pantry, one in the laundry room for stinky clothes)
cider vinegar (x2... not sure why)
Here's why. I'm a fastidious recipe follower. If a recipe calls for something specific like, say balsamic vinegar, I'll buy it. Even if it calls for only a tablespoon. I realize since I started this blog that I have many "things" (such as having perfectly pedicured feet year round and never wearing jeans and a jean jacket together) and this, apparently, is one of them. I need to follow every recipe to a tee with no deviations or exceptions. Even recipes I've used for years I'll very rarely substitute ingredients. So obviously it's another one of my "things". Something else this blog has made me realize: I'm very obviously neurotic. Sigh.
Now that I've prostrated myself in front of you all (yet again), I don't even want to admit my flavoured oil obsession. I guess I could make a kick-ass salad dressing. If I liked salad, that is.

I had a topic ready for this week’s post, but then I decided that it might not be the right time to share that particular thought on a public blog. I’m busy enough right now that I’m going to have to recycle an old post. I wrote this in August of 2009, except that I have replaced the name of the individual mentioned here with an astrocode. I’ve never given her an astrocode before…’d be about a 40 minute drive). I couldn’–I’’t good for me. It’?
So here’s the story. I was at a concert on Friday night. This show was a three hour drive from my house. I have family in that area, I grew up in that area, and I went to the concert with my cousin. This really drunk guy in front of me at one point turned around and said, “Hey, is your last name [insert my last name here]?”
Still, though, I like running into and hearing from former students. I wish I could remember them all…


Winterland 1973 documents an intriguing evolution in the presentation of Grateful Dead music. Just as cassette tapes replaced the LP record as the natural mode for listening to the Dead because 20-minutes-to-a-side albums were too short, archivist David Lemieux is introducing the Grateful Dead vault release program to the same progression that Dead Heads made long ago--approaching the band's music not in the form of a set or a night, but of a run. The Fillmore West box began this process, and now we have the three nights of November 9, 10 & 11, 1973, at Winterland Arena in San Francisco. That in itself is of interest, because that year the Dead played just this one weekend at Winterland, their home sweet home, and only two other shows in the whole Bay Area (February at Stanford's Maples Pavilion, and Kezar Stadium in Golden Gate Park in May). Their attention was focused elsewhere about which more later.
The Hunter-Garcia chemistry that had produced Workingman's was so potent that it spread out to include Pigpen ("Operator"), Lesh ("Box of Rain") and Weir ("Truckin'" and "Sugar Magnolia") in American Beauty, which hit stores in November 1970. Early in 1971, Mickey Hart retired from the road. The result was a leaner (one drummer, minimal keyboards), more nimble if not so powerful band that is documented by the album affectionately called Skullfuck.
As always, the year was one of many changes, not only within the Dead's immediate world but also without. Bill Graham closed down both the Fillmore East and Fillmore West, and though he certainly wasn't going away, the Dead had lost their two comfortable home bases. Which meant that they had to grow up and out, playing colleges and developing a following in places off the two coasts.
Garcia began to expand musically outside the Dead, too. In 1970 he'd begun a series of Monday night jams with a keyboardist named Howard Wales at a tiny San Francisco club called Matrix. It was genuinely odd, "outside" music, but it somehow began to pick up an audience, whereupon Howard made tracks for elsewhere, to be replaced in 1971 by Merl Saunders. Garcia also spent part of that summer recording Garcia, his first solo album. The title shows no imagination, but the songs--"Deal," "Bird Song," "Sugaree," "Loser," "To Lay Me Down," "The Wheel"--were gems, and he'd play them both solo and with the Dead for the rest of his life.
So they went on a semi-vacation. Early in 1972 they went off to Europe, wives, babies, family and all. It wasn't a normal tour-- they only averaged a show about every three days--and it wasn't just a vacation, since they were playing at a remarkably consistent and very high level. But some of their attention went into explorations of things like Stonehenge, and with the exception of "He's Gone," there were no new songs.
Alembic worked on the instruments, as well. Phil's new bass, for instance, was the first quadraphonic bass ever made. Each string had a separate signal. On each of the bass and treble pickups there were five controls, which enabled him to select 1) the bandwidth of the filter, 2ter he used, 4) how much of the filtered sound reached the speakers, and 5) to mix the unequalized and unfiltered direct sound.
By May, Alembic was working on ten different projects, including a differential condmonitor mixer, and the PA array itself. All of that contributed to the sound at the summer's Big Event.
There was another important element in their lives as they went into the studio a month after Watkins Glen to begin Wake--the death in March of Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. If ever there was a sign writ large across the heavens that the old Grateful Dead was gone, succeeded by something connected but different, that was it. For a while, Garcia even considered quitting the Dead. Pigpen's absence certainly added sorrowed depth to the recording of Wake. To quote critic Mary Eisenhart, the album was about "mythic journeys, the cycle of the seasons, death and rebirth, a good hard look into the dark unknown… but with an indominitably light heart."
The material had been mostly broken in, but was still fresh. They'd introduced "China Doll"--aka the Suicide Song--"Eyes of the World," and "Here comes Sunshine" in February, "Mississippi Half-Step" and "Stella Blue" had made their debuts in 1972. And--at the last second, pretty much as usual--Weir's huge contribution, the full "Weather Report Suite," came tumbling out in September just days after they finished recording it.
Although the material--especially "Eyes," "Stella Blue," and "Weather Report"--was first rate, Wake turned out to be only a very good album. The pressure they put on themselves to be responsible record company owners might have affected their focus as musicians. Certainly they rushed it a bit, recording the album in under a month. But the songs were there, and they took the stage on November 9th ready to rock.
It seems to me that they're pacing themselves a bit; the second set is full of superior playing, but no one epic moment of over-the-cliff delightful madness. The linchpin is Weir's shiny-new "Weather Report Suite." Later he'd dismiss it to one writer as "licks that I've copped from Villa-Lobos, and Abanez, and Miles Davis, and various Mexican artists that I've heard. Mariachi bands. And it's maybe at best a clever amalgam"--but it's quite a lot more than that. Weir was an ambitious composer (not in an ego sense, but in his desire to write something truly distinctive and original), and "Weather Report" is the first time his ambitions are realized. Friday's second set goes from there to "Eyes" and then "China Doll," then into three or four rockers to wind down quite a good show.
Saturday night's the night, though. The band ends a wonderful first set with an exquisite "Weather Report Suite," takes a breather, and comes back flying; "Playing In The Band"--"Morning Dew"--"Uncle John's Band"--"Playing In The Band." Simply unfreakingbelieveable playing, graceful as a dance, sharp as a razor, powerful as thunder. And because this was 1973, and they frequently seemed to not know how to stop playing--ah, youth!--they threw in another hour of great music, including "Stella Blue," "Truckin'" and on and on. Quite amazing.
So they maybe top it on Sunday. The first set again ends with "Weather Report Suite," probably the best of the three versions, and in the second set they go into a 35-minute "Dark Star" that's actually "Dark Star" only a part of the time. They rest of the time it's "let's listen to the Grateful Dead reveal their souls through their instruments."
In March, Patrick Carr had written in the New York Times that "The Dead had learned how to conceive and perform a music which often induced something closely akin to the psychedelic experience; they were and are experts in the art and science of showing people another world, or a temporary altering (raising) of world consciousness. It sounds pseudomystical pretentious perhaps, but they fact is that it happens, and it is intentional."
The two-track 1/4" tapes were originally recorded on a Nagra IV running at 7.5 inches per second by Bill "Kidd" Candelario as part of the normal tape documenting done in 1973. Kidd employed a mic split which permitted a different mix to tape than that to the PA system, with minimal processing allowing the clearest possible signal path to tape.
The first step in this process was to transfer the original analog master tapes to a digital format. This was done by using a Pacific Microsonics HDCD A/D converter at the highest possible digital resolution, 192KHz/24bit (for comparison, a standard CD is 44.1KHz/16bit).
This information was then employed as a guide to gently but firmly correct the data of the digital transfer such that the sonic performance in terms of speed, pitch and tempo was indistinguishable from the board output. In this case the original 7.5 inches per second recordings contained significant amounts of wow and flutter, as would be routine even in the professional machine used to make these recordings. By undoing the wow and flutter we can now hear the performances in their original perfect pitch, and with steadiness of rhythm and overall clarity intact.
The performances were then mastered from these corrected audio files. Slight amounts of analog compression (through a Fairman Tube Master Compressor) and equalization (through a very phase-coherent NTI EQ3) were employed when loading into the Sonic Solutions digital workstation for final assembling and editing. We are confident that you will find this reproduction to sound better than any two-track recording of this vintage you may have previously heard.
This massive album was released in March 2008.

The key protein that keeps our faces taut with a strong foundation eventually declines with age. When women reach menopause, collagen disappears even faster. That’s why we see wrinkles and sagging skin staring at us in the mirror. One of the quickest and simplest ways to restore lost volume, soften lines and add a subtle lift is through filler injections. These injections are safe, deliver natural, youthful results and don’t involve any downtime.
Filler injections are a long-lasting temporary fix for aging skin. Often, a single treatment session is all you need for adding a little youthful plumpness to your facial contours. Your aesthetic expert from Mount Pleasant can help you decide what type of filler injections are best for your skin and the personal goals you are trying to achieve.
There are several kinds of fillers. For example, the most popular serums are made with hyaluronic acid (HA). This gel-like substance is excellent for sculpting the facial contours and filling in deep lines. When properly injected, the results are natural-looking, soft and youthful. HA injections can be placed in the cheeks and temples for lift and volume and injected into the lips for sexy fullness.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a synthetic form of HA that isoften called a moisture magnet for the skin because it keeps everything supple and hydrated. As we age, however, the amount of HA reduces significantly. HA injections offer that natural plumpness for the skin and a built-in moisture feature.
Most  type chosen. If you select a volumizing filler, you will see the effects last the longest. Filler injected in the lips lasts about six months.
Clients fall in love with filler injections for their speed, simplicity, and instant results. With Botox, you have to wait two to three days to see it kick in, but with dermal fillers, the results will appear right before your eyes. You can leave the dermatologist’s office or spa without any issues. You don’t have to apply ointments or wear bandages or hide away to heal. Fillers can deliver an incredible facial rejuvenation in sheer minutes.
If you’re excited to try filler injectionfyin Time. At our convenient location in Mount Pleasant, our professionals are all highly skilled in modern cosmetic treatments, understand facial anatomy and how to make a person look natural and more youthfu!

The 97 mph fastball that crashed into his face Wednesday night left Bryce Harper with no visible marks, no apparent breaks, no scars, no stitches.
As for what it didn't reveal, that's what the Phillies still want to know.
Harper was not available to hit Thursday in St. Louis, where the Phils fell, 4-3, to the Cardinals in 10 innings. His availability for a Friday night visit from the New York Mets remains in doubt.
Harper was beaned by the Cards' Genesis Cabrera, leaving the game in the sixth inning. Though some blood was visible, he did sound positive after the 5-3 victory.
Harper was in the dugout Thursday, showing no outward signs of injury, pain or distress. Girardi confirmed that the right fielder had gone through a concussion protocol.
Roman Quinn replaced Harper in right field Thursday, went 1-for-4 and was unable to hold onto Matt Carpenter's fifth-inning, three-run home run as it sailed over the right field fence.
Also plunked by Cabrera Wednesday was Didi Gregorius, who did not play Thursday. Girardi had said the shortstop "loosened up" Thursday, but might require some further tests on his ribs.
Though there was no dramatic response from the Phillies to the back-to-back Cabrera plunks, Hector Neris did drill Nolan Arenado in the upper arm with a ninth-inning fastball Thursday.
While that technically put the would-be winning run on base, the Phillies were destined to pitch around Arenado in that situation anyway. Neris struck out Tyler O'Neill to send the game to extra innings.
Predictably, Cardinals manager Mike Shildt protested from the dugout when Neris did not receive an umpires' warning, and was quickly ejected.
On his way to the plate for a small rhubarb, Shildt was caught on TV saying something to J.T. Realmuto.
Oddly enough, Girardi said he did not believe Neris' errant pitch to Arenado had a purpose.
The Phillies, who had not won consecutive games since April 5, had a good chance Thursday, handing ace Aaron Nola an early lead.
Nola, though, hung a breaking pitch to pinch-hitter Matt Carpenter, who hit a go-ahead home run.
“I think things will start turning around here soon,” Nola said. “We're going to keep competing every game. We have a big series against the Mets at home and we have to take care of business.

ADÁLIA ALBERTO
The artist considers that art is both a critical and a provocative view of the society we live in, combined in an aesthetic harmony, able -or not – to ignite emotions sometimes difficult to materialize. Art is the constant questioning about our role as citizens, in the so called global world, in an attempt to find the answers to our concerns.
Art allows us not to be held hostages to a simple vision. Art questions us, provokes us, confronts us with a society where the human being is constantly being tested, in the permanent attempt to find happiness, which really fulfils it…"
'Sculpting my dreams I keep on finding Happiness"
bout this thing of doing art these days. The interpersonal bonds are always very important; therefore, the way we meet someone gets inscribed in the foundations of the future working relationship.
The sculptor Adália Alberto was recommended to me by a paviour from Porto de Mós and because of this her work and her way as an artist remained connected to an idea of rooted art. An art that knows how to survive in its surrounding. An autonomous and resistant art.
After that came the experience of working together. Adália's dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism are genuine and contagious. Always ready to accept new challenges, Adália's creativity is not limited to the sphere of aesthetics, but stretches to the active solution of problems.
It's a joy working with Adália and her tireless partner – Agostinho – who now, besides being a partner in Life, is also a partner in the artistic adventure.
I spent a day with Adália through the Aire's Mountains (Serra d'Aire). I saw her eyes shining all the time on the landscape, observing, restless and creative, the forms and textures of the stones and the cliffs.
When she, a little shy, asks me to write her a text, I realize I am smiling. Would I know how to do it with stone and dreams, like she does, and everything would flow easily, like the traffic of my admiration for her work, especially for "her women".
I know her way. She gets silent very often, staring and thinking. Because she can't find the words. The same that are too many, sculpted on the chest of the dream and fascinate us. And I do write. I write and describe the fascination of the elegant bodies. Just like the utopia and the tenderness, on a trip full of infinite wishes. In this show, once again, women-courage stand from the massive where they had always lived, simply undressed of the superfluous stone that was hiding them.
I have always considered it magical, in the art of Sculpting, the polished understanding of what was already there, as usual, hidden to those who don't know. And the Master gets it, direct to the body and form, always full of instinct, of erotic, and of offer.
As devices generate more and more image in a regularly accelerated pace, the social noise and confusion (fusion of contexts) increase and dull one's senses, and therefore, in this period of my life, I think like Nietzsche: «only art saves us!».
Which art, though, when everything is presented as such by the media nowadays? When I face this dilemma - and a better criterion doesn't exist - I apply Ockham's Razor (or the principle of parsimony) i.e., from everything that the system offers me to consume as art - I ignore everything that isn't simple. I do this filtering because simplicity conveys peace to me.
A person is an artist in two opposite ways:
Through integration.
In this case, the individual chooses the academic route, submitting itself to the institutional authority, to the identification with a style, according to a supposed historical evolutionism of the art occurred in an illusory area of psychological comfort, supported by the artificiality of the categories, of the chronologies stipulated by the History of Art and by the contingency of interests.
Through irreverence.
In this case, the individual wonders about the meaning of reality and - in a sudden impulse - assumes one's right to be different and emancipates itself from the conventions, supporting the materialization of thinking in nothing else but his own (a)perceptive conscience, reflecting and marking his personal position against the evanescence of time.
I think that Adália Alberto belongs undoubtedly to the second way described above, because she does what she feels and what she feels flows from her in a simple way -without beating about the bush - as in a practical exercise of her thinking-made-matter.
Her sculptures do not follow a single typology. On the contrary, each piece - even when it is part of a series - represents a single thought. However, while observing a group of her art pieces, we infer the uniqueness of separate creative moments, which give way to figures whose bodies show:
The irony of imposed social roles.
To conclude, t - by the deep sarcastic doing -

The model weights are very small (845 KB on disk), and they can easily be saved and loaded into a new textgenrnn instance. As a result, you can play with models which have been trained on hundreds of passes through the data.

sudo pip3 install textgenrnn
You can view a demo of common features in this Jupyter Notebook.
textgenrnn is based off of the char-rnn project by Andrej Karpathy with a few optimizations, such as the ability to work with very small text sequences.
textgenrnn takes in an input of up to 40 characters, converts each character to a 100D character embedding vector, and feeds those into a 128-cell long-short-term-memory layer. That output is mapped to probabilities for up to 394 different characters that they are the next character in the sequence, including uppercase characters, lowercase, punctuation, and emoji.
The model weights included with the package are trained on hundreds of thousands of text documents, from Reddit submissions (via BigQuery) and Facebook Pages (via my Facebook Page Post Scraper), from a very diverse variety of subreddits/Pages. The network was also trained in such a way that the rnn layer is decontextualized in order to both improve training performance and mitigate authorial bias.
When fine-tuning the model on a new dataset of texts, all layers are retrained. However, since the original pretrained network has a much more robust "knowledge" initially, the new textgenrnn trains faster and more accurately in the end, and can potentially learn new relationships not present in the original dataset (e.g. the pretrained character embeddings include the context for the character for all possible types of modern internet grammar).
RESULTS WILL VARY GREATLY BETWEEN DATASETS. Because the RNN is relatively small (128 cells), it cannot store as much data as RNNs typically flaunted in blog posts. For best results, use a dataset with atleast 2,000-5,000 documents. If a dataset is smaller, you'll need to train it for longer by setting num_epochs higher when calling a training method. Even then, there is currently no good heuristic for determining a "good" model, and I hope to update this module with a more robust training regimen.
textgenrnn is less effective when training on/predicting longer sequences (> 200 characters). Likewise textgenrnn is less effective when training on/predicting texts with very disparate grammatical styles. If a source dataset has both, it may lead to unexpected results.
A GPU is not required to retrain textgenrnn, but it may take awhile to train on a CPU. If you do use a GPU, I recommend increasing the batch_size for better hardware utilization. Additionally, I recommend using the CNTK backend for Keras, as it trains recurrent neural networks much faster than TensorFlow.
A way to visualize the outputs of the RNN's neurons to see how the network "learns."
A larger pretrained network which can accommodate longer character sequences and a more indepth understanding of language, creating better generated sentences. This may be released as a commercial product instead, if any venture capitalists are interested.

This year there was the option of two routes, 30 or 40 miles. I, of course, (optimistically) chose the 40 mile route – I mean how hard could it be?
I can't speak for the other riders but hard work it was!Other than snow, we were hit with all weathers from bright sunshine to strong hail and wind!However, I pushed on through and after a few rest stops and with a lot of aching muscles, I completed the course in one, rather sore, piece!

This experimental post will be testing two things essentially; the ability to embed DTube videos on a WordPress blog, and how Steem applications respond to it.
The above is one of my recent DTube videos. By default, interfaces like Busy auto embed the video within the post. Steemit on the other had just displays the video thumbnail as a linked graphic to the video on DTube.
It is actually possible to embed a DTube video within a Steemit post but it has to be done after the fact as a edit. The edit also breaks Busy’s (and other dapps’) embed of the video unfortunately.
My expectation is that this post will display correctly on WordPress and Steemit – since the embed method is the same for the two platforms. On Busy and other platforms, however, I expect the video to not be displayed in an embedded form. Rather I expect there to be some kind of error code, or the iframe code displayed as text.
Another thing that I noticed is that the default width of the embedded video is 512 pixels. This doesn’t look nice to me on WordPress, as the text paragraph width is much wider than that. I edited the iframe code and changed the width to 1200 pixels. I’m not sure what the effect of that would be on Steemit or Busy.
Anyhow it doesn’t matter much right now. This video will not be playable at some point when it gets deleted from the IPFS server, so DTube isn’t really the best place to embed videos from right now. There are other IPFS solutions that will keep the video for much longer (as long as the correct payment is kept up I believe).
Nevertheless, I find the exercise interesting just to see what’s possible and how various platforms respond to inputs from WordPress.


"quences of pictures and signs that I have recreated through photography. There is a vague and disquieting sense of duality – both my own and in the reality that surrounds us. My pictures show young people in undefined places. The point is not the location itself, but the existential dimension, its identity. This is a complex presentiment of the conflictedness of a land foundering between contrasts. It is an intuitive attempt to capture my subconscious and all the unease that comes with it."

On the page 43 of Real Analysis by H.L. Royden (1st Edition) we read: “(Ideally) we should like $m$ (the measure function) to have the following properties:
$m(\bigcup E_n)= \sum m (E_n)$.”
Then at the end of page 44 we read : “If we assume the Continuum Hypothesis (that every non countable set of real numbers can be put in one to one correspondence with the set of all real numbers) then such a measure is impossible,” and no more explanation was given.
Solutions Collecting From Web of "Why does the Continuum Hypothesis make an ideal measure on $\mathbb R$ impossible?"
This is a consequence of Ulam’s theorem: If a finite countable additive measure $\mu$ is defined on all subsets of a set of cardinality $\aleph_1$ (the first uncountable cardinal) and vanishes on all singletons, then it is identically zero.
This is the version of the theorem from the book of Bogachev (1.12.40), the original result is a bit stronger. Anyways, under CH, $\mathbb{R}$ has cardinality $\aleph_1$, so the theorem applies to $\mathbb{R}$. I’m pretty sure this is what Royden refers to.
I refer you to the MathOverflow question “Does pointwise convergence imply uniform convergence on a large subset?” for proofs and references for the following:
Suppose there were a function $m:\mathcal{P}(\mathbb R)\to[0,\infty]$ satisfying the three named conditions. Then $m$ is a measure on $\mathbb R$ for which every subset of $\mathbb R$ is measurable. Let $(f_n)$ be a sequence of real-valued functions on $[0,1]$ that converges pointwise to some function. By Egorov’s theorem, there is a set $E\subseteq [0,1]$ with $m(E)>0$ such that $(f_n)$ converges uniformly on $E$. The fact that $m(E)>0$ implies that $E$ is uncountable. Since $(f_n)$ was arbitrary, this implies by the above cited result that the Continuum Hypothesis does not hold.

Now that that's settled, now e Paterno has had his precious vacated victories restored, a question:
That is what the whole sordid Penn State mess was about, wasn't it? A long-time defensive coordinator, while he was doing that job and afterward, roamed the town, the campus and the football building, preying on children o believe that some of the most powerful men on campus, from the AD to the president to Paterno himself, had plenty of reason to suspect that Sandusky was a child molester but did far too little to put a stop to him.
If those men and others had cared as much about Sandusky's sick and criminal behavior as the Paterno family and other Penn State supporters have cared about restoring Paterno's vnts of sexual assault against 10 boys over a period of 15 years.
Read those numbers again: 45 guilty counts, 10 boys, 15 years.
Those numbers matter far more than 409, the number of games Paterno won as the Penn State football coach. Or 111, the number of Paterno victories the NCAA vacated as part of its sanctions against the school for the most criminal lack of institutional control in recorded history.
(Do you agree with the NCAA restoring Joe Paterno's victory total? Vote.)
Thanks to the settlement of a lawsuit filed by a Pennsylvania state senator against the NCAA, Paterno's victories have been restored. Penn State fans are celebrating, and some of them are waving the flag to put the Paterno statue back outside Beaver Stadium.
Seriously? Weren't misplaced priorities the issue the NCAA tried to address with those sanctions in the first place?
Clearly, NCAA President Mark Emmert and his cronies didn't have the courage of their original convictions. This rollback is just the latest example that his ability to lead has been compromised as badly as that of Ray Watts at UAB.
This latest twist to the twisted Penn State story isn't about football wins. It's about football winning, as it usually does at the highest level of our institutions of higher learning, no matter how much damage it leaves behind.
No, it hasn't. The largest measure of the wrong can never be righted. Paterno can get back his wins. Sandusky's victims can never get back their childhoods.

As an under-aged drinker in the local pub he tried to make the older men laugh. After dropping out of art collage and working in a factory for a few years that seemed really the only option. So he moved to London and got a job in a pub while starting out in stand up he established himself and did many Edinburgh shows, and wrote on various TV shows.
Whilst gigging extensively Tom has also had a very successful time presenting on Radio and TV. He’s had his own show on Radio 1 and Capital FM.
Canadian Joe Eagan lives in Sweden, and performs all over Europe. His lovable stage presence, ruggedly handsome looks, and maple syrup voice go down well with females. However, the guys also warm to his gentle giant, relaxed vibe. All this, plus his unique take on life, with an original turn of phrase, make Joe in demand for corporate events and comedy clubs alike.

You can also safely presume that the reaction was not as they had hoped. Turns out quite a few folks in that "community" didn't take well to the idea, complaining that the supermarket was "equating us to a sandwich" and "exploiting a marginalized community for profit."
It's not hard to understand why companies are walking on eggshells today. And the supermarket probably felt reasonably safe. After all, how many restaurants have you been to that named sandwiches or dinners after celebrities, always in a complimentary way?
