• Le Courtois' "Thinking Pod" is a venue for dialogue between cultures. The piece captures the theme of "Hybrid."

  • Elizabeth Kinsella "paints" with wool for her piece in RedLine's "Hybrid."

  • Viviane Le Courtois creates real places for human connection in a high-tech world. Her walk-in "Thinking Pod" is 6 feet tall.

At RedLine: Morphing Ireland

Curator Rian Kerrane’s “Hybrid” is as much about process as it is the final product. The exhibit, filling RedLine’s sleek galleries, is highly dependent on viewers taking some time to understand its broad concept, which could be explained — reductively — as asking seven artists from the U.S. and seven artists from Ireland to think about each others’ countries and make some art out of it.

The products, and they range from portraits and abstract paintings to animation and video, show how complicated a notion that really is, and how individual such thinking can be.

How does an Irish person express Americanism? And vice versa?

It’s hard to sum it up, and impossible unless you take the time to read the statements each artist has prepared for the show’s gallery guide. That’s a warning: While this exhibit’s intellectual ideas are fresh and abundant, its visceral thrills have their limits.

These are very personal journeys, all over the map in approach, though the show does come into sync through a convenient overlap of priorities between the two nationalities. These artists find common ground in their subject matter: nature and the environment, ethnic identity, national folklore.

The connections can be literal, as they are in Christopher Perez’s portraits of Irish-Americans. His subjects exhibit what he calls a traditional “Irishness.” It’s a bit of (nonjudgmental) ethnic preservation in a world where purity is harder and harder to come by.

They can be historic as well. Irish artist Mark Joyce’s “Amelia Earhart” commemorates the day in 1932, when the pilot ended a cross-Atlantic flight in a farmer’s field in Londonderry. He has shrunk the moment to a few abstract lines in multiple colors. Who knows? Maybe that’s how Earhart saw her improvised runway during the descent.

They can also fall somewhere in between fact and fiction. James L. Hayes’ “Bill & Annie” is a patient and endearing 46-minute video that presents actors in the roles of Annie Oakley and Wild Bill Hickok. They sit in a bar and simply tell their personal histories. This feels like a particularly Irish presentation of American folklore. Long stories told over a drink? Forgive the stereotyping.

The artists had great freedom for their missions. Homare Ikeda used it to explore his own life’s travel, from living near the ocean in Japan to living near mountains in Colorado. Ian Gordon, who lives in County Donegal and whose art is to bury small works of embroidery in the landscape, connected his efforts to mining; he’s an explorer working underground.

The diversity of purpose can be confusing, though things do come together nicely with the help of Viviane Le Courtois‘ “Global Thinking Pod,” a gathering hut she built by collecting yucca from a Colorado horse pasture, braiding it and shaping the ropes into walls. Set in the center of the gallery, it is a showpiece, and signage invites viewers to enter and sit a while. The work serves as a venue for sharing ideas that transcend place and bring cultures together.

That’s what “Hybrid” is all about.

HYBRID Seven artists from the U.S. and seven from Ireland explore cross-cultural themes of identity. Through Sept. 30 at RedLine, 2350 Arapahoe St. 303-296-4448 or

Quiet enjoyment

Leases, whether for a commercial or residential properties, are likely to include a ‘quiet enjoymentcovenant. This provides the tenant with the right of possession during their tenancy, with the entitlement to enjoy the lawful use and benefit of the property free from the landlord’s interference. If this is breached, the tenant can seek either an injunction to restrain the interference or seek damages for losses caused by the interference.

Under common law there is an implied obligation for landlords to allow their tenantsquiet enjoyment’ of the premises. However, leases usually contain an express provision which overrides the common law covenant. This allows the parties to negotiate on the terms of the respective obligations, such as the landlord making it conditional on the tenant paying the rents due, or the tenant extending the covenant to include the acts of a third party or superior landlord. The landlord should take care not to extend the covenant to include anyone over whom they have no control, although the principle that they cannot be held responsible for another party’s unlawful act is generally accepted.

The term ‘quiet’ does not necessarily imply that the interference is strictly noise-related. It is taken to mean ‘without interference’. The landlord need not have taken a positive step for it to be interference; it may also result from their failure to act. A temporary interference is also unlikely to result in a successful claim.

The facts of the individual case will determine whether the interference is substantial enough for the landlord to be held liable. Activities that occur before the lease has been granted will not amount to substantial interference, since the tenant is deemed to have accepted the lease in the knowledge of said interference.

This was the ruling in the case of London Borough of Southwark v Mills, where the House of Lords rejected a breach of quiet enjoyment claim made by a tenant of a building that was noisy due to the behaviour of other tenants. They held that the tenant accepted the lease in the knowledge that the flats were noisy and were not adequately soundproofed.

Claims are unlikely to be successful unless there has either been a new activity after the lease has been granted, or there has been serious and consistent interference with or disturbance of the tenant’s occupation of the premises.

Circumstances that have been deemed to constitute breaches of quiet enjoyment include:

Scenarios where claims are unlikely to be successful include:

sneak peek: tara hogan of ink + wit

by anne

today i’m posting a special sneak peek because sadly work has thrown me for a loop and i’ve got to take the day off to catch up. so i thought i’d share a special peek to make up for not having anything else today (sorry!). this gorgeous peek belongs to ink + wit designer tara hogan. i’ve been a fan of her work for a while now and it’s such a treat to get a closer look into her (beautiful) home life. i hope you’ll enjoy her home as much as we did. click here for more, full-sized images. thanks to anne for compiling tara’s sneak peek! [i’ll be back tomorrow with full posting]

[Above: The graphic wallpaper on the backsplash in the kitchen is actually just paper taped up until we get our white subway tile with gray grout installed. Renovating a kitchen is a huge project and requires a lot of patience especially in an old home. Once one old piece moves everything moves. And, always prepare fro something to go wrong. Quartz countertop the way to go. The lighter the color the less maintenance.]

We have a 101 year old house that was once inhabited by mill workers. It has since been added on to over the years. Luckily, someone built a back porch. It is the best to just sit here and read and watch birds. We have so many birds in our years and also rabbits. Mid Century Modern Hans Wegner rope chair was a great find on eBay. Not a good chair around cats with claws.

The living room is definitely a work in progress. We have these 1970’s paneled walls that I almost painted white last week. They are very difficult to work with and since we love wood so much there is a lot of competition amongst our furniture right now. Bludot’s Strut Side Table has proven to be a great way to break up the wood paneling. The white table pops and adds the calmness and sleek modern feel I ultimately see in this space. I bought one table and loved it so much bought another for the TV. Rug from Anthropologie. White Kulla table lamp from IKEA. Teak coffee table from restoration Hardware. Actually intended fro outside use but it works inside as well.

My office is off our kitchen/dining area. Sliding doors from The Sliding Door Company are on their way to divide the space as it has proven challenging. Our last home had 4 bedrooms and a library room so I had more private quarters. Still, I love the feel of this space. The George Nelson bubble lamp makes me happy every time I walk into the dining area and I can always see it from my studio/office. All shelving on the studio walls from IKEA. My cat Abby chews paper so it was a must for everything to go up high and contained.

Idea here was to have a tranquil place to fall to rest and rise to start the day. Our last bedroom in our previous house had a TV on a dresser straight in from of the bed. We have no TV in this very small room. Just very dark chocolate brown walls with matte eggshell finish, a shelf unit for light (IKEA LYKTA table lamp and ALÄNG floor lamp) and reading material. The art in the room features 3 framed letterpress notecards from Pancake & Franks and one of my original collages of a polar bear made of Japanese rice paper. One you really need to see up close! There are paper sequins stitched onto the paper to simulate snow.

One of our cats, Uma, relaxing on the bed. And, this is my ideal bedroom, calm with a kitty to snuggle up with at any time. No phone, TV, or clutter in my view. My husband wants the TV back. He retreats to the living room for that novelty now. INK+WIT Pommebirds decal on door.

Dried berries in a Kombucha bottle. GT’s Kombucha is killer and gives you so much energy. Sunflower painting in the back is mine.

The barn is the best part of our lot. It is in pretty bad shape though and needs major restoration as it was uncared for after a bad storm in 1998. It has been evaluated if we can really renovate it (NEW STUDIO!) but it looks like it may be worth it to start from scratch using as much of the good lumber from it and build a new barn.

Suggested For You

  • oh, this place looks amazing! what is the square footage of the house? how many acres does it sit on? this is exactly the kind of place my husband and i would like to end up. and i love the 70’s wall paneling, because it (at least from the photos) is contained in one area…

  • wow, this is probably my fave sneak peek. love the mix of high and low, ikea and handmade. also i really admire how the studio space is totally exposed but it still looks neat and tidy. great inspiration for someone like me who has a similar set-up (but alot messier)

  • i love the charcoal grey walls against the white quilt. the light wood frames brighten the bedroom. Great taste throughout the home. Thanks for sharing!

  • Great lines on that bludot table. I have similar problems with woodgrain overload. However your walls are beautiful — I wouldn’t paint them!!

  • This is one of my fav house tours. I love all of the bear prints! That BluDot table looks great in the living room – love them.

  • You know, it’s funny, that wallpaper is really the only thing I didn’t like. Everything else is light and airy and wonderful. (And how gorgeous is she in that last photo?) I love all the woods.

  • lovely home! Where is the long low table under the living room windows from…such a neat piece!
    Thanks for sharing!

  • I have that same 2 bears poster on my wall. Well, similar. It was on the back of a magazine I picked up in Portland, OR and I framed it!

  • Very unique home, beautiful! Where is the dining room table and bird hook from, love them!

  • Tara, I love the bright fresh feeling of your home, and the mix of furnishings. I am quite curious about your coffee table and the BluDot end table. On the BluDot website, they show an ivory color, no white. Is your table ivory? Also I don’t see the coffee table at Restoration Hardware’s site. I wonder if it is discontinued. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

  • What a lovely tour!! The history of the home’s character really shines through. I love the touches of whimsy throughout the house…and a studio in the barn would be amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!

  • Lovely comments everyone. Thanks so much!

    KRISTAN: yes, the wallpaper in the kitchen is temporary as we ripped the nasty old backsplash off and I had to put soemthing up. White ceramic tile going up soon.

    KATI: The polar bear illustration is an original piece I did and you saw it on the back of ORLO Magazine

    GREEN KEY: Yes, Bludot table is in ivory but is more whit than ivory (think bone colored) it is awesome

    The slat bench was a score on eBAY, Eames benches (vintage)

    The Restoration coffee table was a close out, $150.00!!!!!! SCORE

  • Tara-

    Beautiful house! I think you should keep that paper up in your kitchen. It’s amazing.

    BTW, the chair on your back porch was designed by Hans Wegner- I have one too and love it! It is most likely a reproduction but you should check to see if there are any markings on the bottom.

  • that paper in the kitchen is wonderful tara! I love the juxtaposition of the organic quality of things from the setting to the space itself with the modern embellishments. its clean with character and personality…just lovely!

  • What a great peek into your beautiful home, renovations and property. Looks like an amazingly calm place to live! I love your eclectic style.

  • Hi Tara: where can I find the Pommebirds decal? Looked at your (fab) website but couldn’t find – help! And such a lovely home… thanks for sharing… :)

  • What a lovely home! It looks so relaxing. As others have said, I especially love the bedroom, both the wall color and bedspread. It looks like a real retreat.

  • Hi, I live in a apartment and your house looks like it is straight out of an enchanting fairy tale. Lovely! Can you tell me (or anyone else) where to get the work table in your office (off the kitchen). Does anyone know what it’s called? Thank you so much!

  • i am saving each of these pictures to myhard drive! i always go back and forth on modern/vintage styles because it’s hard to find a mix that is contemporary, clean but cozy and inviting. this home strikes just the right balance of all of those elements (and i have loved ink & wit for some time now!)

  • Hi Tara,
    I’m french and just fell in love with your George Nelson bubble lamp … exactly the lamp I was dreaming of . I checked on the web, and now I’m depressed I’ll probably never have one like this ! I guess I’ll have to stick to Nogushi.
    Great home, congratulations.

  • that little aluminum bird is such great design for a hook!! check out the montreal-based designer @ salendro.com

  • Just so beautiful…I have been a huge fan of Tara’s for a long time now and so happy to see her beautiful home. Tara, I ADORE that polar bear collage(even though I can’t see the sequins, because that detail makes me love it even more :) Thank you for sharing and now, it is clear that Tara is just as beautiful as her work.

  • love this! what shade of grey is that on the walls in your bedroom? we are hoping to paint our dining room a similar shade. thanks!

  • I cannot tell you how relieved I was to read that your cat chews paper. Mine does too and everyone thinks she’s the weirdest cat. Now I know, she’s just odd not weird :) Beautiful all around but that one bit of information just made my day!

  • Credit for the beautiful bottom photo of Tara goes to Grant Taylor Images. He gave those photos to Tara as a courtesy after photo shoot for her feature on Yoga Journal.

Most of the information on it is recommended to be the best, and not based on practical scientific research.

However, there are also some natural methods that have been proven to be really effective.

Here are 30 simple ways to help you lose weight safely, effectively and naturally.

1. Add Protein To Your Meal

When it comes to weight loss, protein is the king of nutrients.

Your body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing the protein you eat, so a high-protein diet can boost metabolism by up to 80-100 calories a day.

A diet high in protein can also make you feel fuller and reduce your appetite. In fact, some practical studies show that people who eat more than 400 calories a day on a protein-rich diet will be more satisfied and significantly reduce their appetite.

Even something as simple as eating a protein-rich breakfast (like an egg) can have a strong impact.

2. Eat Whole Foods, Only One Ingredient

One of the best things you can do to be healthier is to rely on a single, single-ingredient diet.

In this way, you can eliminate most processed, fatty, and added foods.

Most whole foods are completely natural, making it easy to keep you within a healthy calorie limit.

Moreover, eating whole foods also provides our body with many essential nutrients, which are necessary for the body to function properly.

Weight loss can be considered a natural "side effect" of eating whole foods.

3. Avoid Processed Food

Processed foods are often high in added sugars, processed fats and many calories.

Moreover, processed foods designed to make you eat as much as possible. They are more likely to cause food addiction than unprocessed foods.

4. Priority Snack and Healthy Food

Studies have shown that the foods you store in your home will greatly affect your weight and eating behavior.

By always having healthy foods available, you will reduce your chances of eating unhealthy and your whole family.

There are also many healthy and natural snacks that are easy to prepare and can take with you when you move, including yogurt, fruit, nuts, carrots, boiled eggs ... etc.

5. Limit Consumption of Extra Roads

The consumption of multiple sugar supplements is associated with some of the world's leading diseases, including: heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.

On average, Americans consume about 15 teaspoons of added sugar per day. This sugar is often hidden in processed foods, so you can consume a lot of sugar without even realizing it.

Since lines are written in multiple names in component lists, it can be difficult to determine how many sugar a product actually contains.

Minimizing additional sugar consumption is a great way to improve your diet.

6. Drink Water

The fact has shown that drinking water can help with weight loss.

Drinking 0.5 liters of water can increase 24-30% of the calories you burn in an hour.

Drinking water before meals can also lead to reduced calorie intake, especially middle-aged and older people.

Water is especially good for weight loss when it replaces other drinks with lots of calories and sugar.

7. Drinking Coffee (No Sugar)

Luckily, people have begun to realize that coffee is a healthy drink, containing many antioxidants and other healthy compounds.

Drinking coffee can support weight loss by increasing the energy and calories you burn.

Caffeine-containing coffee can boost your metabolism by 3-11% and reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes with a whopping 23-50% risk.

Moreover, black coffee is a very friendly weight-loss food, as it can help you feel full but almost no calories.

8. Supplement Glucomannan

Glucomannan is one of the weight loss pills that has been shown to be effective.

It is naturally soluble in water, extracted from konjac root (sweet potato).

Glucomannan is low in calories, occupies space in the stomach and delays empty stomach time. It also reduces the absorption of protein and fat, and nourishes the beneficialgut bacteria.

Its special function is effective water absorption, very effective for weight loss. A capsule can make a glass of water become gel.

9. Avoid Liquid Calories

Liquid calories come from drinks such as sugary drinks, fruit juices, milk chocolate and energy drinks.

Drinks are very harmful to health in many different ways, including an increased risk of obesity. A study showed that a 60% increase in the risk of obesity in children consumes a portion of sugary drinks daily.

Besides, you also need to remember that the brain does not record liquid calories like solids calories, so stop consuming these calories based on everything you eat.

10. Limit Consumption of Refined Carb

Refined carbohydrates are carbs that most beneficial nutrients and fiber in it are removed.

Refining eliminates everything that makes carb easily digestible, but this increases the risk of overeating and illness.

The main food sources of refined carbons are white flour, white bread, white rice, soft drinks, pastries, biscuits, sweets, pasta, breakfast cereals and extra sugar.

11. Fasting Interruption

Interrupting fasting is a eating pattern divided into "eating" and "fasting" cycles.

There are several different methods of implementing this diet model, including diet 5: 2, method 16/8, and Eat-stop-eat method.

In general, these methods make you eat less overall calories, without the need to be aware of calorie restriction during the "eating" period. This will help with weight loss and other health benefits.

12. Drinking Green Tea (No Sugar)

Green tea is a natural drink that contains many antioxidants.

Drinking green tea is associated with many health benefits such as increased fat burning and effective weight loss.

Green tea can increase energy consumption by up to 4% and increase fat burning options by up to 17%, especially harmful belly fat.

Matcha green tea is a powdered green tea that can bring many health benefits, even stronger than regular green teas.

13. Eat More Fruits And Vegetables

Extremely healthy fruits and vegetables, are extremely friendly weight-loss foods.

They have a high water content, rich in nutrients and fiber, but have a very low energy density. This can help you eat a lot of it without too much calories.

Many studies have shown that people who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables tend to have lower weight than those who don't eat.

14. Counting Calories Every Time

Awareness and knowing what you are eating is very helpful if you are trying to lose weight.

To do this, you need a diary and a camera to record what you are eating, making it a good base to help your weight loss process get better.

15. Use Smaller Food Containers

Some studies have shown that using small plates to help you automatically eat less, because it changes the way you see your diet.

Whether it is a big disc or a small disc, people often act the same way, that is to fill that disk, so they will put more food on larger plates.

Using smaller plates will help reduce the amount of food you eat, while still giving you the feeling of eating more.

16. Try the Low-Carb Diet

Many studies have shown that low-carb diets are very effective in losing weight.

Limiting carbs and eating lots of fat and protein lowers your appetite and helps you eat fewer calories.

This results in 3 times more weight loss than a low-fat diet (fat restriction).

A low carb diet can also greatly improve the risk factor for disease.

17. Eat Slower

If you eat too quickly, you can eat too many calories before your body can realize that you have enough.

Eating fast also has a higher risk of becoming obese than those who eat slowly.

Slower chewing can help you eat less calories and and increase hormone production, this may help you lose weight.

18. Replace Some Coconut Oil Fats

Fat-rich coconut oil belongs to the medium-fat chain, which is metabolized more specifically than other fats.

Research shows that coconut oil can promote metabolism in your body, while helping you automatically eat less calories.

Coconut oil can be particularly helpful in reducing harmful belly fat.

Note that this does not mean that you should add this fat to your diet, you should simply replace some other fat sources with coconut oil.

19. Add Eggs To Your Diet

Eggs are the healthiest food on the planet. Eggs are cheap, low in calories and high in protein and contain all the nutrients that the body needs.

Protein-rich foods have been shown to help reduce appetite, increasing satisfaction when compared to foods low in protein.

Moreover, eating eggs for breakfast can help reduce weight by more than 65% in 8 weeks when compared to eating bread for breakfast. It can help you eat fewer calories during the rest of the day.

20. Add Spices For Your Meals

Hot peppers and sweet peppers contain a compound called capsaicin. This substance can promote metabolism and enhance fat burning.

Capsaicin can also reduce appetite and calorie intake.

21. Probiotics Diuretic Consumption

Probiotics are healthy bacteria that are healthy for eating. They can improve digestive health and cardiovascular health, and may even help with weight loss.

Studies have shown that people who are overweight and obese have a different intestinal flora than those with normal weight, which can affect weight.

Probiotics can help regulate healthy intestinal bacteria. They can also prevent fat absorption from the diet, while reducing appetite and inflammation symptoms.

Of all the beneficial bacteria, Lactobacillus gasseri has the most weight-loss effect.

22. Sleep Enough

Getting enough sleep is very important for weight loss, as well as avoiding effective weight gain in the future.

Studies have shown that people who lack sleep increase 55% of the risk of obesity compared to those who get enough sleep. This number is even higher for children.

This is partly due to lack of sleep that will break the daily fluctuations of appetite hormones, reducing appetite.

23. Eat More Fiber

High-fiber foods can help with weight loss.

Foods that contain water-soluble fiber can be especially helpful, because this type of fiber can help increase feelings of fullness.

Fiber can delay the emptying of the stomach, causing the stomach to expand and promote the release of full hormones.

This will help us automatically eat less naturally without thinking about it.

Moreover, many types of fiber can nourish friendly gut bacteria. Healthy intestinal bacteria significantly reduce the risk of obesity.

Therefore, this fiber intake also helps avoid abdominal discomfort such as flatulence, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

24. Brushing Teeth After Meal

Many people said that brushing after meals has a card to help limit the desire to snack or eat between meals.

This is because many people do not feel like eating after brushing their teeth. In addition, it can make food taste good.

So if you brush your teeth or use mouthwash after a meal, you will be less tempted to eat unnecessary foods.

25. Against Your Food Addiction

Food addiction related to cravings is uncontrollable, and you can hardly resist the temptation or of certain foods.

This is one of the main reasons that many people eat too much, and affect the majority of the population. In a recent actual study in 2014, nearly 20% of the population had symptoms of food addiction.

There are a number of foods that are more addictive than other foods such as prepared foods, high sugar and fat snacks.

The best way to combat food addiction is to seek the help of specialists and people around you.

26. Practice Cardio

Practicing cardio - be it jogging, biking, brisk walking or climbing - is a great way to burn calories and improve both mental and physical health.

Cardio has been shown to greatly improve risk factors for heart disease. It can also help reduce body weight effectively.

Cardio seems to be particularly effective in reducing dangerous belly fat that accumulates around your organs and causes metabolic disease.

27. Perform Lifting Exercises

The common side effect of major diets is the loss of muscle mass.

If you lose a lot of muscle, your body will start burning less calories than before.

By lifting weights regularly, you will prevent this and build muscle weight effectively.

You will definitely like this.

28. Using Whey Protein Supplement Food

Most people have enough protein from their diet. However, some people still lack it, and supplementing with whey protein supplements is an effective way to increase the amount of protein you need.

One study showed that partial replacement of whey protein calories could not only significantly lose weight, but also significantly increase lean muscle mass.

Therefore, you only need to read the labels and ingredient lists carefully to avoid buying products with added sugars and other unhealthy additives.

29. Eating and Mind (Mindful Eating)

This is the eating method used to raise awareness while eating.

It helps you consciously choose food and develop awareness of your hunger and satiety signs. Then it will help you eat healthy to meet those signals.

Mindful eating diets have been shown to have significant effects on weight, eating behavior, and stress in obese individuals. It is particularly useful in fighting emotional eating and eating habits.

By choosing conscious food, increasing your awareness and listening to your body, losing weight will be easier and more natural.

30. Focus on Changing Your Lifestyle

Dieting is one of the most successful methods of weight loss. In fact, people who "diet" tend to gain more weight over time.

Instead of focusing on weight loss, you should plan to nourish your body with healthy and nutritious foods.

Eating to become a healthier, happier person is not just about losing weight.

Through this article, I hope you will find the right weight loss method for your body.

Good luck!

Easiest way to get a lamp stack with php 5.3 ?

Posted January 2, 2015 3.7k views

I love the droplet system, but I need to be running php 5.3 for some older php projects. Whats the simplest way to get set up ?

These answers are provided by our Community. If you find them useful, show some love by clicking the heart. If you run into issues leave a comment, or add your own answer to help others.

5 answers

I had the same requirement. The quickest way I found was to set up a droplet running Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) which comes packaged with PHP 5.3.

Yes! Thank you. We had to migrate an old Drupal 6 site over to a droplet in a hurry and this saved us. I know it’s not common enough to warrant it, but it would still be nice if there was a 1-click LAMP install for this. Thanks kcristella.

How can it be done now? There is no longer an Ubuntu 12 option in the Droplet creation screen! I know this is not very common, but it should still be doable, right? Old Drupal sites happen to be my use case, and even after we update the client to D8 they want access to their old site just in case for a little while (sigh)…

When you click on the One-click apps, I notice in the URL that there is an “appID” query string, could it be possible to provide that appID and we can basically force it to use an old one-click appID?

Any updates?

I also would like to move the old Drupal site.

I also need one for running old system and gradually move the code to latest version. Is there any way that I can have PHP 5.3 with register globals ON.

The important thing to remember when experiencing heartbreak after a breakup is that alcohol only temporarily numbs the pain. After participating in alcohol rehab in NJ and quite some time in recovery, you know this fact to truer than anything. It is unhealthy for anyone to “drink the hurt away” after a breakup. For you, it is simply not an option.

Focus on Why You’re Sober

Instead of contemplating relapse, remember why you chose sobriety. Drinking never makes situations any more bearable. Before rehab, you may have been able to forget your worries for a few hours. Although, you also would have woken up the next day hurting just as much before. Maybe even more, since giving into your addiction only fuels negative self-esteem.

Reflect on all the ways that your sobriety has helped and enhanced your life. Then, recall the skills you learned in rehab and how to cope effectively. Know that you have the power to overcome any obstacle. However, giving up on your sobriety only hinders that power.

Know That Your Pain is Temporary

You gathered the strength once to enter alcohol rehab in NJ to start down a path toward recovery. Now, you are stronger than any challenge life can throw at you. Take the pain of your breakup in stride without drinking. Your hurt will eventually subside. With time, pain always does. In the meantime, remember how strong you are.

There is Support Available After Alcohol Rehab in NJ

Can alcohol rehab in NJ help me stay sober after a breakup?

If you are struggling to remain sober, the Discovery Institute can help. With a variety of programs designed to assist you with coping in everyday life, we can help guide you to lifelong recovery. Contact us today to learn more about our therapy options.

European utilities and the value trap

(This article was published on Cotizalia in Spanish on July 22nd 2010)

“Welcome to the banana republic.” These are words of RWE’s chief financial officer (the second-largest German utility) after learning of the German government’s intention to impose a tax on nuclear power stations of € 2.3bn pa. Nearly 15% of the net profit of the two major companies are to be “seized” by the government. Snip.

The European electricity sector is again the worst performing sector in 2010, down 20%. This already occurred in 2008 and 2009 due to the weight of the five major integrated companies, which have all the features of what is called a “value trap”:

1. The returns of the companies are “seized” when governments need money. Indeed, from Germany to Italy (the cynically called “Robin Hood tax”), power companies are perceived by governments as public service entities, available to tap the capital market to make huge investments in the long term, but not allowed to generate returns above what governments consider “adequate”, which is a paltry 8% ROACE on average. At the end of the day, the governments think, they can always make capital increases (more than € 16bn in 2009) and start all over again. A sector where companies invest hundreds of billions per annum for 25 year projects but where the rules of the game change every four or five.

2. Run To Stand Still. Part of the huge number of mergers and acquisitions that we have seen between 2004 and 2007 came from the objective of these groups, several semi-state owned, seeking to generate returns outside their country because the profits in their home market will always be limited. But then the results end up being as disappointing as the domestic. Look at EDF (France), which has spent €60bn on acquisitions, to generate no added net income whatsoever, or Endesa-Enel, GDF-Suez, a story of additions through acquisitions that have always delivered lower ROCE, or E. On, whose net profit is very similar to that of 2007 after acquiring billions of dollars in assets. Funny that the sector is not cheaper on 2 year forward multiples than it was in 2008, when it’s 40% lower.

3. One sector that is only optically cheap. The sector trades at an average of 6.7x times 2012 EBITDA and dividend yield of 6.7%. It seems very attractive to those seeking an investment in the “long term”, right? Careful. The EBITDA multiple is actually closer to 8.5 times if “clean” estimates, removing the free CO2 permits, are applied. And more importantly, after the wave of M&A and re-gearing, the WACC has increased, something that companies do not acknowledge. And be careful with the estimated dividends. First, because we have already seen cases (Enel, National Grid, SSE, etc.) in which the dividend is paid by the investors themselves through capital increases disguised as “opportunities for growth”. But also remember that such a capital intensive sector needs to maintain a pristine credit rating to access the bond market. With returns confiscated and an average 3x Net Debt/EBITDA, the sector does not generate enough free cash flow to undertake the committed investments, pay dividends and reduce debt.
In addition the sector has delivered the keys to the reserve margin management and investment decisions in new generation capacity to their governments, who are delighted to see overcapacity, and the industry, with the risk of seeing no growth, prefers to invest in the hope that someday they will be remunerated for the investments.

A sector is also a reflection of its managers. Except for honorable exceptions, it’s worth highlighting the low quality of management teams, with a history of investing billions at the peak of the cycle and then selling at the lows, and their poor exposure to the share price (minimal ownership of directors in the shares). At last, after all, how can the investor trust a manager who owns almost no shares in their own company, is incentivised to buy anything that moves to “grow”, and having to invest long term, have a such a poor long term track record?. Additionally, I would highlight the low interest that governmets have in the share price of their own investments, not aligned with the minority holders.

It is interesting to see in this environment that the worst performing stocks are the most recommended by analysts (EDF, E. On, GSZ, EDPR) all over 80% of “buy” recommendations. I always say it: In a bull market you don’t need analysts and in a bear market you don’t want them. The only ones that are doing well are the ones showing financial discipline, focused on return on capital employed (ROCE) and “anti-government rebellion”. And if you like the sector and want value, play short-term securities which are targets for predators or in the process of restructuring, or transmission companies, BUT only those which offer a higher dividend to that of the yield of corporate and government bonds, because if not, you are subject to the risk premium of the equity market without the required returns. The rest is waste of money. We continue to warn about it.

Doctor Who

Doctor Who

Who’s feeling blue? The bluest creatures in the Doctor Who universe

By Paul Lang on Saturday 19 January 2019

It’s Blue Monday, and for most people that means moaning about the most miserable day of the year. But the Doctor loves a bit of blue (look at the TARDIS, for a start!) and has encountered many blue creatures while travelling the universe.

Doctor Who

Cold as ice

The Woman Who Fell To Earth/The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (2018)

The Doctor was definitely a bit blue the day she met T’zim-Sha. For a start, she’d just regenerated, which would leave anyone feeling out of sorts. Also, she’d fallen from a great height and crashed through the roof of a train carriage. And worst of all, once she was back on her feet, she had to deal with “Tim Shaw”, a ferocious Stenza warrior with a face full of fangs extracted from his unfortunate victims! His skin was blue because he was so bloomin’ cold – one touch of his face would freeze any human to death, so keep your mitts off him if you happen to spot him!

Hot stuff

The End of the World (2005)

The Moxx of Balhoon might have looked like he’d be a turquoise terror, but it’s wrong to judge by appearances – he was actually a solicitor! The Doctor met him on Platform One in the year five Billion, when the great and good had gathered on a special viewing platform to watch Earth finally get engulfed by the Sun. He was a generous soul who liked to honour those he met with the gift of bodily saliva – by spitting in their faces! The poor old Moxx met his maker when cruel Cassandra lowered the platform’s sun filters and burned everyone to a crisp. Should have worn some SPF 50!

Doctor Who

Eater of Worlds

Battlefield (1989)

When time witch Morgaine needed help outsmarting the Doctor to take over the world, she summoned her old mate, the Destroyer – a horned horror with scaly blue skin and impressively pointy ears. Despite claiming to be the Eater of Worlds and the Lord of Darkness, the Destroyer didn’t actually manage to destroy very much at all. That’s because Morgaine had bound him with silver chains, which subdued his powers. When she did finally release him, he didn’t even get a chance to devour the Earth – the Doctor’s old pal, the Brigadier, saw him off with some silver bullets.

The New (Blue) Paradigm

Victory of the Daleks (2010)

The last three Daleks in the universe hit a major hitch when they tried to create an army of reinforcements using pure Dalek DNA stored in a Progenitor – their own genes had been spliced and rearranged so many times that it no longer recognised them as Daleks! They had to trick the Doctor into confirming their identities, at which point the Progenitor spewed forth the New Dalek Paradigm – five totally pure specimens who would rebuild the empire in their image! They each had a colour to signify their rank, and the brilliantly blue one was the Strategist, whose speciality was coming up with battle plans to endure Dalek supremacy. Sadly we never got to find out if its strategies were up to much, as it was never seen again!

Doctor Who

Fangs a lot

Demons of the Punjab (2018)

The Thijarans were another example of appearances being deceptive – these spiky blue-skinned demons with large tusks and row upon row of beady eyes looked like they’d be after a fight when they turned up in the Punjab around the time of the separation of India and Pakistan. The fact their telepathic communications caused pain to any non-Thijarian on the receiving end of their thoughts seemed to confirm their ill intent. But they were actually damaged survivors of a terrible war whose planet had been destroyed. They hadn’t been able to honour their own dead, so teleported around the universe bearing witness to the fallen of other conflicts who would have died alone otherwise. Very noble.

Doctor Who

It takes allsorts to make a world

The Happiness Patrol (1988)

Now this guy was a real sweetie – in appearance only. A psychopathic robot killer dressed up in a suit made of sweets and a blue aniseed jelly for a face, The Kandyman was the chief confectioner on Terra Alpha, a planet where it was illegal to be unhappy. You might think that eating delicious sweets would mean everyone there was naturally joyful, but that wasn’t how the Kandyman operated. He made sweets so delicious that human bodies were unable to cope with the pleasure, and anyone tucking in would die. The sugary sicko thought this was perfectly acceptable – at least they’d die with smiles on their faces! He also liked to drown people in gooey, gungey fondant, an experience that would surely leave a sour taste in anyone’s mouth.

Doctor Who

Getting ahead

The Husbands of River Song (2015)

Flemming was a suave, sophisticated, sly and slightly sapphire insect maitre d’ who looked dapper in his tux. He got involved in some head-hunting shenanigans with River Song, and almost lost his own bright blue bonce in the process, until he he promised to deliver the Doctor’s head instead. River was one step ahead – she had an escape plan involving the fast-approaching meteor about to slam into the spaceship they were all on that she knew was guaranteed to work. How? Well, as a time-travelling archaeologist, she’d already dug up poor Flemming’s remains, 400 years in the future. Neat!

Doctor Who

Siren call

The Curse of the Black Spot (2011)

When a load of 17th century pirates marked with a black spot started disappearing from their ship, they hadn’t fallen overboard – an interdimensional nurse from a ship that had crashed in the same place in a different dimension was spiriting them away for treatment. Her shimmering aquamarine presence was a calming sight, but woe betide anyone who tried to interfere with her duties – she’d turn red and start blasting fire!

Doctor Who

Stylish Sontarans

The Sontaran Stratagem/Poison Sky (2008)

Any good clone warrior race needs a good clone warrior outfit – after all, if everyone’s going to be wearing it, it’s best to choose a flattering style and a colour that complements the standard skin tone. The Sontarans wore black and silver for a long time, but they had taken their army’s attire up a notch when they turned up on Earth with a plot to poison the planet using the fumes from tampered cars. Their nifty new navy gear set off their leathery old skin a treat, especially under the flattering pink lighting of their battleship. Who says you can’t look good while conquering the galaxy?

Doctor Who

Violet vampires

The Curse of Fenric (1989)

If you ever needed an incentive to sort out your mixed recycling, this picture should do the trick. It’s a Haemovore, a vampire creature evolved from future humans in a time after all the oceans on Earth have been reduced to chemical slime. You might think that’s ages off and you’ve got nothing to worry about, but an ancient force called Fenric has been known to send some of these puffy blue bloodsuckers back in time to feast on fresh blood supplies! So don’t get complacent – especially if you pop to the beach for a paddle, as they are often to be found lurking under the sea.

Doctor Who

Hand havoc

The Hand of Fear (1976)

Eldrad was a Kastrian scientist who went rogue and was sentenced to death by his own people. They scattered his remains throughout the galaxy, which was a bit of a misfire to be honest, as the bits had the potential to cause havoc wherever they ended up. His hand was sent to Earth, where it came into contact with the Doctor’s friend Sarah Jane. She fell under its control and took the it to a nuclear plant, where the radiation restored the rest of the body – this time in the form of a human female, albeit one with a distinctly blue hue.

Doctor Who

Ol’ Blue Eyes’s Snack

The Tsuranga Conundrum (2018)

Pting might be a nasty, bitey, greedy gremlin who will eat your ship out from under you and leave you floating in the vacuum of space, but look at those baby blues! With those big, cute eyes staring back at you, how could you stay mad for very long? Or alive!

Doctor Who

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Literally every creature the Doctor met pre-1970 might have been blue as well, but as the episodes back then were made in black and white, we will never know for sure!

Book Spotlight: Infamous by Jenny Holiday

(Famous #2)
by Jenny Holiday
Date Released: November 27, 2017

About Infamous
All that up-and-coming musician Jesse Jamison has ever wanted is to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. When a gossip website nearly catches him kissing someone who isn’t his famous girlfriend—and also isn’t a girl—he considers the near miss a wake-up call. There’s a lot riding on his image as the super-straight rocker, and if he wants to realize his dreams, he’ll need to toe the line. Luckily, he’s into women too. Problem solved.

After a decade pretending to be his ex’s roommate, pediatrician Hunter Wyatt is done hiding. He might not know how to date in the Grindr world, how to make friends in a strange city, or whether his new job in Toronto is a mistake. But he does know that no one is worth the closet. Not even the world’s sexiest rock star.

As Jesse’s charity work at Hunter’s hospital brings the two closer together, a bromance develops. Soon, Hunter is all Jesse can think about. But when it comes down to a choice between Hunter and his career, he’s not sure he’s brave enough to follow his heart.

An Excerpt from Infamous
“Come to the cottage this weekend.”

“What?” Hunter blinked, almost startled back to standing by the invitation. Jesse had a cottage in the Prince Edward County region east of Toronto. He and the band spent most summer weekends there. There was a small, makeshift studio on site, and to hear it told, they would noodle around on songs there and then come back to the city to record them properly. “But isn’t the cottage kind of a remote studio for you guys? Like a working weekend?”
“Yeah, but you won’t be in our way.” When Hunter didn’t answer right away, Jesse added, “Think about it. What you’ve said you’re looking for with the whole move to Toronto is a new start. What anyone with half a brain—and by that, I mean Avery and not me—can see is that you’re working yourself into the ground. And you just said you’re sick of the same old, same old. Come along this weekend. Get out of the city. Out of your head.”

It did sound tempting. A lot more appealing than pretending to be interested in the Maple Leafs and being on the emotional roller coaster of Tinder.

“There’s no wi-fi,” Jesse went on. “And questionable cell reception. Half the time you have to walk out to the main road to get a signal.”

“Wow. Total disconnection.” Hunter couldn’t remember the last time he’d done that. Had he ever done that? And he wasn’t on call this weekend, so he could actually get away with it.

“Yeah. Everyone kind of putters around doing their own thing—which for the guys mostly means staying up late partying and sleeping in. But you can swim. There’s a canoe. You know, the whole cottage deal.” The way he was waving his hands animatedly as he spoke, Hunter could tell how much he loved the place. “We do some writing and some studio time as the mood strikes. That’s part of why I started dragging the guys up with me. It gets everyone kind of on the edge of boredom. Forces creativity.”

Just like he sometimes forgot Jesse was famous, Hunter also sometimes forgot Jesse had an entire life outside of their dinners together and his visits to the hospital. Hunter had never met the other guys in Jesse’s band. He’d never met anyone in Jesse’s life. Jesse existed as a self-contained unit.

He wondered about the others. He’d seen them in the band’s videos and sometimes when they were interviewed as a group. Hunter was nothing if not exhaustive about his YouTube stalking, so he knew their names. He knew what they looked like—rock stars. They all had that same tousled, hard, rocker look that Jesse personified.

“Is it going to be weird that I’m . . .” He made a vague gesture toward himself. He was wearing his standard work uniform. His job didn’t require scrubs, and he was old-school—he still believed in presenting oneself smartly and professionally—so he wore a shirt and tie under the white coat he kept in his office. But today’s combination of a purple-and-white gingham shirt and a pink-and-navy striped tie, while liable to land him on any list of the city’s best-dressed doctors, didn’t exactly scream, Hi, I’m a straight manly man who’s good at waterskiing and starting bonfires!

“That you’re what? A doctor? Not at all. You can save Billy from alcohol poisoning.”

“No, that I’m . . .” God. Was he twelve? Hunter was comfortably, firmly out in pretty much all circumstances.

Except, apparently, at Jesse and the Joyride nature weekend.

“A neat freak?” Jesse smirked and raised his eyebrows. “Nah. They won’t even notice. You, on the other hand, should probably pack some tranquilizers for yourself because by the end of the weekend . . . Well, let’s just say I have a regular cleaning service.”

Jesse was teasing. It felt . . . good. And Hunter appreciated the hell out of the implied message that his sexuality wasn’t going to be a thing.

And in case the implication had been too subtle, Jesse followed it with, “Hey. We’re modern men. And it’s my cottage. You’re my friend. Anyone who has a problem with you can fuck right off.”

A Note from Jenny Holiday
Hello! I’m Jenny and I’m happy to be here to celebrate the release of Infamous. Infamous is book two in the Famous series, which mixes m/f and m/m romance. (And mixes famous musicians and regular people!) In Infamous, Jesse, our resident bad-boy rock star has to decide if he’s willing to risk his career to be with Hunter, a doctor he’s rapidly falling for. I hope you enjoy it!

About Jenny Holiday
Jenny Holiday started writing in fourth grade, when her aging-hippie teacher, between Pete Seeger songs, gave the kids notebooks and told them to write stories. Jenny’s featured poltergeist, alien invasions, or serial killers who managed to murder everyone except her and her mom. She showed early promise as a romance writer, though, because nearly every story had a happy ending: fictional Jenny woke up to find that the story had been a dream, and that her best friend, father, and sister had not, in fact, been axe-murdered. Today she is a USA Today bestselling author of historical and contemporary romance. She lives in London, Ontario.

Down to Earth No.76-77 May 2008

Communities in West Kalimantan, supported by national and international NGOs, have taken the unprecedented step of challenging the environmentally and socially damaging impacts of the world's largest palm oil company, using the World Bank Group's official complaints procedure.

Down to Earth No. 74, August 2007

Mounting global concern over climate change and the link to deforestation has refocused international attention on the need to protect the world's forests. Rampant forest and peatland destruction in Indonesia means that the country is one of the world's top three emitters of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.

Down to Earth No. 72 March 2007

The Toka Tindung gold mine project is now in doubt after strong opposition to Meares Soputan Mining's plans to build an open pit gold mine in a sensitive coastal area and dump mine waste into Rinondoran Bay.

A major blow came when an environmental hearing in August 2006 forced the company to alter its plans to instead use the more expensive option of disposal of tailings on land.

Down to Earth No. 71, November 2006

Plans have been shelved to use palm oil in a UK power station after campaigners highlighted the negative consequences for local communities, forests and wildlife.

Down to Earth No. 71, November 2006

Indigenous peoples are trying to restrict the expansion of large-scale oil palm plantations in Indonesia and other southeast Asian countries This article was written by Mina S. Setra of the West Kalimantan Indigenous Peoples' Alliance (AMA Kalbar), following her visit to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples in New York earlier this year.

This year has been important for indigenous peoples all over the world.

Down to Earth No. 70, August 2006

NGOs and indigenous peoples have called for greater attention to be paid to the impacts of lending by international financial institutions (IFIs) on indigenous rights.

As part of our upcoming review, here's our 4K sample reel, shot using the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H at Seattle's Emerald City Soul Club.

All footage is DCI 4K, 23.98p in the 400Mbps mode, with the exception of a short 60p clip, marked in the video. The camera's Cinelike D2 color profile was used throughout, with minimal color grading subsequently applied.

Interview footage was all shot from a tripod, using the Panasonic 24-70mm F2.8 lens. The bulk of the in-club footage was shot using an L-mount Sigma 24mm F1.8 Art, and mounted on a DJI Ronin-S gimbal unless otherwise noted. All clips were manually focused due to the extreme low-light nature of the club.

Embossed US Poker Card(s)

The Singularity Deck – Cosmos Full Set

The Singularity Deck is an infinitely expandable deck of playing cards that allows for an immense number of games to be played. With it you can enjoy old classics or invent new ones. Each set of cards associated with The Singularity Deck can be combined with other sets to create new and interesting card pairings. The card back design and suit icons have been made a part of the public domain allowing for anyone to design on top of the preexisting decks (find the link in my publisher description). Check out the bottom of the description for links to all of the other cards in the Singularity Deck.

The Singularity Deck - Cosmos Full Set contains six suits: Antimatter, Planets, Stars, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Asteroids. Each Suit contains all standard playing card ranks (A thru K) plus a few extras including an 11 & 12, a singularity card, a Tower card, and an Ω card. They each include three copies of the A-rank and one copy each of the other ranks, for a total of twenty cards (A,A,A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,J,Q,K,T,Ω, and singularity) per suit.

The Singularity Deck - Cosmos Full Set: Sample Card Art For Each Suit

Each suit begins with the alpha card and ends with the omega card, which depicts an earth wide catastrophe associated with each suit. The alpha cards can be put together to make a time-lapse of the earth’s rotation. The namesake card of the deck, the singularity card, is ranked both zero and infinity and stands outside of the other ranks.

The cards have secondary suits, called shields, which indicate suit pairings. Additionally, they have secondary dice ranks. The dice ranks are on cards ranked A-12 and repeat twice for each suit (for example, both the rank-6 card and the rank-12 card have a 6-pip dice). This allows for the deck to easily play games requiring duplicate ranks within each suit. It also means that each suit can function as a pair of dice.

Product Information
Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
This title was added to our catalog on August 15, 2016.
