February 12, 2009: Averkiou, Throwing Sparks

Vice’s record reviews section has always been jokey and glib and often just as susceptible to trendwhoring as Pitchfork/Stereogum/[the latest hipster tastemaker scapegoat], but I still respect it because it’s entertaining, has a pretty clear-cut and consistent point of view, and covers stuff that doesn’t get a whole lot of exposure elsewhere in the blogosphere. It’s rare that our tastes overlap, so I do have to give them credit for introducing me to Throwing Sparks whe they favorably reviewed it in a recent issue; I figure that any shoegazer band that Vice likes has to be good.

Now, I claim to be a shoegazer fan, but I’ve come to realize that I really only like the particular cross-section that manages to be dense, loud, dreamy, and a little blurry around the edges without being either too ethereal or too overtly “rock”. Averkiou fits that bill almost perfectly, recalling the early 90’s sounds of Swervedriver and Drop Nineteens with guitar piled on top of heavy, swooping, delirious guitar. The sound is so good that I’m tempted to gloss over the actual songs, but truth be told, the main reason I don’t much for a lot of what calls itself “nu-gazer” is that it does exactly that. Thankfully, Averkiou doesn’t assume that atmospherics are enough to carry an album, and Throwing Sparks has some pretty solid (if simple) pop-song sensibilities at its foundation. It’s just a shame that it barely breaks 25 minutes.

Fall Interest with Goldenrod and Aster

goldenrodWhen it comes to September, I look forward to Goldenrod and White Aster.  They create this beautiful cascade of yellow and white.  Most people associate these plants with open fields, pastures, and roadsides.  If you let them into your garden, be prudent about weeding.  Both of these plants have many flowers that create many seeds to become many plants the following year.  aster

These plants aren’t for everyone.  I spend on average a half hour or more each day in my garden.  Just being in the garden, you begin to learn what the little seedlings look like.  I do weed many of the goldenrod and aster that start each year, but I leave enough to have gold and white waves of blooms in September.

Timbre - Timbre, according to "The New Harvard Dictionary", is
a melody, a very popular one, that is used for differents texts. The term, which came into use in the late 18th century, has been employed in connection with the sequences of Adam of St. Victor and some other liturgical chant, the 'noel' of the 16th century and after, 'vaudeville', and 'opera comique'. Such a melody is usually identified by the first phrase of its presumed original words, and was specified in early publications with a phrase such as "to the tune of...".
In other words,", timbre is the quality of a musical note that distinguishes different types of musical instruments. Someone might say after a performance, "they played that piece timbre" to describe the characteristic of the sound that they made. Besides this definition, in the middle ages the word timbre was also used to mean small bell or a small frame drum, what we know today as the tambourine.

UPDATE:: Timbre is also described as tone color. Tone color is the character of sound, as deistinct from its pitch; hence, the quality of sound that distinguishes one instrument from another.

(The Harvard Dictionary of Music, Randel, Don)

Journey Mapping

musta experience journey mapping greg rakozy

Journey Mapping sessions drive organizational change and client-centric mind-set:

  • Align organization around the customer perspective
  • Help employees discover their own roles in delivering client experience
  • Help employees develop empathy for customers

The goals of Journey Mapping should be aligned on business objectives:

  • Deepen Insights – get a clearer understanding of customer needs
  • Understand the Business Impact - clear focus on the resulting business value
  • Identify Issues/Opportunities – what’s getting in the way, or could be improved, in order to meet customer needs
  • Platform to Innovate – design solutions that deliver both customer and organizational value

Journey Mapping Sessions can be executed through-out the organization. Team-based or cross-organizational selection of participants will allow the development of rich and insightful Journey Maps.

On the long term, Journey Maps can operate as a dynamic and practical tool for the client-centric strategy implementation and documentation of client insights (e.g. client satisfaction measurement).

Slow Flowers

Recently, I enjoyed a lecture at the Garden by Debra Prinzing, the author of Slow Flowers:  Four Seasons of Locally Grown Bouquets from the Garden, Meadow, and Farm.

PHOTO: color chart by sophia siskel

While Debra helped us discover how to use the best locally grown cut flowers all year long, I’ve been on a “slow flower” journey of my own this winter, taking Botanical Drawing with Colored Pencil with instructor Derek Norman and 13 other Garden members in the Design Studio at our Regenstein Center. Slow processes (cooking, springtime, gardening, travel, motherhood) always demand patience, and constantly toe the line between joy and frustration. Drawing is no exception!

Derek brought in fresh flowers or leaves weekly and led us in studying their forms and showing us how to render them—in our own ways—on different kinds of paper with colored pencils, which we got to know by number, not color name.

During some class sessions, when I could work without self-consciousness and distraction, I felt freedom and joy—a pure relaxation I rarely experience. And I was proud of my work:

ILLUSTRATION: Apples by Sophia Siskel

ILLUSTRATION: Ivy Leaf by Sophia Siskel

Some sessions proved challenging and exhausting, especially those that followed my visit to the wonderful Picasso exhibition at the Art Institute or a weekend examining the exquisite botanical drawings by Ellsworth Kelly. I was full of doubt and frustration, and the drawing experience and images suffered.

ILLUSTRATION: Narcissus sketches by Sophia Siskel    ILLUSTRATION: Tulip sketch by Sophia Siskel

I am not an experienced artist. (The last time I took a drawing course was as a student at Wellesley.) And since I’ve been working at the Garden I have seen (and been intimidated by) so many remarkable botanical illustrations, like those produced by the members of the American Society of Botanical Artists or shown at the Garden’s Annual Student Botanical Arts Exhibition.

ILLUSTRATION: Waterfall by Marian Scafidi

Shiitake Mushrooms by Christina Lovering (©2012)

ILLUSTRATION: Tulip by Sophia SiskelBut last summer, my sister-in-law, nephew, and I spent an afternoon in Wisconsin drawing pansies and wild geranium. What alternating feelings of joy and frustration! I’d make progress on my petals only to look up and see that my sketch looked nothing like the plant on the picnic table before me. But my 7-year-old nephew gave me the encouragement I needed. He told me enthusiastically, “Just go for it, add some watercolor, don’t worry!” His sweet voice cut through my filters of, “I can’t, I won’t, I’m scared,” and I added some purple paint…and eventually felt inspired to sign up for the Garden class.

I am glad I did. I learned new skills, used new tools, and got to know myself—and the Garden—better. I made new friends, whose works of art I so admire. I’ll be back—sketching at the Garden and signing up for another class (maybe even watercolors!) as soon as possible.

Greens and Blue and More

This card will be entered in the Unscripted Sketches Summer Flashback Challenge #7. It was so much fun to create, mainly because this sketch is awesome!!

The chair has a paper-pieced pillow, and chair and sentiment are raised with dimensional adhesive.

What Are Healthy Cooking Oils

Cooking oil is one of the most contentious ingredients in food. Oil contains so much fat and we all know it is bad for the body. However, we still need the oil to help in digestion and also in excreting waste. The oil helps by oiling the walls of the intestines so that the passage of waste is smooth and easy. Research has shown that there are different types of oils or fats. There are two types of fats bad and good. The good ones are in fruits, for example, avocadoes and bananas. There are also some other healthy cooking oils that are recommended by scientists. This type of fat helps in nails, hair and skin. The bad fats are located in most oils and the lowest amount possible should be consumed.

Guidelines To Healthy Cooking Oils

Nutritionists suggest that healthy cooking oils should have more good than bad fats in them. If you are using high fat oils use them moderately, Even if they indicate that they are healthy cooking oils as they make you add weight. It is tricky to select the oil that you would like to use for cooking. Most people are too busy to go for easy healthy cooking and do not know how to measure oil as they cook. People will always have different opinions on everything as when it comes to healthy cooking oils some may think that peanut is best, others olive oil, canola oil and so on. However, you should discuss all the oils that you may think are healthiest, listen to opinions and experiences then make a decision by yourself.

When you are making up your mind on the type of healthy cooking oils you would like to use, consider the number of times certain oil has come up, the negatives and positives and judge from them. Most people have not been trained on oils like nutritionists and hence it is difficult to know minute differences. Therefore, you should read books or research on the internet on healthy cooking oils and other sources as well. If you still are not satisfied and cannot be able to make up your mind, seek professional help from your personal trainer, nutritionist or other specialists that are of the same field. Keep in mind that you should not consume high amounts of fats as they are not good for your health. Consume calories that you are sure of burning in order to maintain your weight and a healthy body.

Sharon Prince Mission To End Contemporary Slavery

Sharon Prince is the head of the Grace Farms Foundation, in charge of enhancement of life through nature, community, arts, and faith. The private firm has been in operation since its conception back in 2009.

A major recent accomplishment by the firm was the signing of the deal to foster the fight against contemporary slavery. This was in form of a Memorandum of Understanding with Georgia and Unchain.

In an article with entitled “Grace Farms Foundation Signs Deal To Fight Contemporary Slavery”, talks about the Memorandum of Understanding with the country of Georgia and Unchain which discusses creation of set of standards and practices that promote supply chain transparency to help bring an end to the world’s largest, yet under recognized problem: contemporary slavery.

This meant that there would be a new set of standards and practices aimed at promoting the supply chain transparency to aid at the end of contemporary slavery across the world. This also coincided with the goals of Georgia in the creation of green, technologically smart and sustainable country within the next decade.

Through the partnership, Sharon Prince would kick start the creation of a demonstrative business model which enlighten other countries, investors, firms on the economic and financial gains of assuring transparency in supply chains.

Through Sharon Prince, the Grace Farms Foundation would be in charge of collaborating with the Georgian government together with Unchain. This would ensure the licensing procedure and the review of the current legal, policy and institutional framework. It would also mark the standards to strengthen the processes that will ensure the ethical and transparent supply chains.

According to Sharon Prince, this would result in the development of the comprehensive techniques and partnerships which interrupt and fight on gender-based violence and human trafficking. See This Page for additional information.

It is through the belief of Sharon Prince of taking actions against the destructive forces in the universe we live in. The current mission through Sharon Prince would ensure commitment of construction of the ethical business model thus thrusting the social change across the world.

Part of the deal with the Sharon Prince Grace Farms include a global awareness campaign aimed at stopping contemporary slavery to the public in the beginning of 2019.

Rory Gallagher – Irish Tour ’74 DVD Review

The blue collar style of the band in general added eve more synchronicity on stage and that also dug well with the fan base. You’ll notice that they all share the same backstage rooms and don’t have fancy assistants or are inducing themselves in any psychedelic drugs. A bottle of Guinness and some instrument adjustment is what the band mettle’s with before hitting the limelight.

The Wall Street Journal is once again sharing the rumor that there are two new Switch models incoming and these rumored systems could hit in a few short months. The rumored Nintendo Switch Pro (or whatever they’re going to call it) and the Nintendo Switch Portable may be coming sometime in Summer.

Check it out everyone. Let us know if you plan on purchasing this when it’s released.

Looks awesome to me. I cannot wait for this one on the Switch. Who thinks it will outsell the XBOX One version?

April 2017 Horoscopes For All Signs

April Astrological Overview

Libra full moon 11th April
The full moon in Libra, the sign of relating, on April 11th is a relationship themed one, which is about bringing to light the balance of dependence and independence, self and other in our connectedness with others. The moon is on the heels of a Venus square Saturn transit: we could end up sabotaging the very thing that we are desiring through our lack of self- worth and fear of losing our independence. However, the Sun conjunct Uranus does offer us a dose of boldness and leadership to initiate new beginning in relationships and to be real about what we want.

Taurus New Moon 26th April
The new moon in Taurus, exalted in this position, with Venus in Pisces where it is in dignity, ruling the chart, speaks of that ultimate, idyllic love, the stuff of fairy tales and movies. Can we make it real, manifest the romantic vision and bring it down to terra firma? Do we actually believe in love? Do we have faith in love and are we ready to surrender to it? Venus is direct after 40 days of retrograding and is at 29 degrees. Rewind back to the beginning of April, where it was at the same degree. Some of the issues of that time re-emerge to be moved on with at a deeper level, and understanding. Fill in the gaps now as missing information emerges.29 degrees is the fated, crisis point, so close yet so far from the necessary courage and life force of Aries. Upstream or downstream, that is the question. Chiron is conjunct Venus; we have to firstly address some core wounding that has been sieved up from the bottom of the ocean.
Taurus is associated with stability, manifestation and desire. It is an earthy, Venusian new moon; one in which self-worth, self-love, values and comfort are illuminated and need to be in alignment with our core truth and purpose. The seeds planted at this time are in fertile soil and can potentially grow into something solid and long lasting. This Venusian New Moon in the element of earth provides the potential of stillness and grounding of terra firma, bringing us to the wisdom of our bodies, of the earth and our senses. It’s the time of breaking old patterns and creating new ones. Relationships with others and with ourselves is illuminated at this time.

April Horoscopes
The full moon on 11th illuminates the area of one to one relationships in your solar chart. Your energies are required by an important other. After stepping back and doing some soul searching, over the past month, you’re now even more sure of who you love and what you love. You’re on the road to fulfilling your heart’s desire when Venus leaps back into your sign on the 29th April for a return 1 month stay.
This is your birthday month, your solar return, a time to set intentions of hopes and dreams for the coming year. On 26th the new moon joins your sun and signifies a fresh new start. After 40 days of travelling backwards, your ruler Venus is back on track and you have clearer perceptions of where you’re at with regard to love, money and relationships. With Mercury retrograding in your sign, your intuition is amped up. Go with it.
Romance, fun and creativity will be a source of nourishment for you this april. Your ruling planet Mercury is turning retrograde this month, a time when you are more able to feel your way through things, as opposed to over analysing your way through. Tapping into the guidance of your inner wisdom helps you in making choices more aligned to your core nature.
What may seem like a setback that leads you to review your professional image and status is actually a golden opportunity to a need to temporarily step back and tweak and re -define an important goal so that you are well versed. You are in the public limelight this month, your leadership abilities and your enthusiasm don’t go un- noticed by others. New business plans are carried out and progress with projects is made.
You have more impact on your surroundings than you realise and you will find a new joy or love that will help you to express yourself more, in new ways. Important messages and new connections are made within your day to day life, through those you meet going from a to b. The new moon on the 26th occurs in your house of ambitions. It is a seeding, energising time when new goals professionally are to be focussed on.
Mercury your ruling planet is turning backwards for a few weeks, in which time he is mischievous but not malicious, he just wants to make sure that you are mentally on form. When dealing with accounts, contracts or taxes, ensure that your Virgoan eye for detail is at its usual level of sharpness to be sure that you don’t have to re-do. Sharing and intimacy on all levels will be a focal point this month. Be sure to attend to your own needs too.
There is a full moon in your sign as well and Venus, your ruling planet is retrograde until 15th April. This is review time for your values. Your peace- making, harmonising talents will be required this month when it comes to dealing with those volatile people orbiting around you. As Venus goes direct so do you. There is an important decision that you’ve finally made.
Pluto, your ruling planet is turning retrograde on 21s. Whilst every zodiac sign will feel the effects of this movement, you are especially affected. During this time you have the chance to recover a hidden resource that has been overlooked. Keep a careful eye on what goes on around you throughout your day to day life and you may well discover an archaeological gem, (metaphorically speaking).
Creativity, romance, fun and pleasure are all on the menu for you this month. Saturn in your sign is retrograding on 6th, for the next 4 and a half months. It’s a reality check time that tests you, to make sure that you are fully living out our ideals and philosophies and walking your talk to the best of your abilities. It’s a karmic time for you, either reaping or sowing, or a bit of both.
Pluto in your sign moves backwards this month for the next 5 months offering you time to absorb and examine recent transformations in your life. Life lightens up from 26th, when you’re able to put your needs first and find well-earned time for fun and pleasure. Saturn begins his travels backwards on 6th and you can take time to redefine your recent commitments and responsibilities to ensure greater future success.
Home is where the action is happening this month. This is a month for deepening your roots and foundations and reaffirming your truth and values before the branching out that will be happening for you from May full moon. The support and security that your clan provide enable you to embark on exciting, innovative times.
Since the eclipse in your sign last month, circumstances have made you take a step back to review and revise some of your plans. Perhaps the way you have been going about a new responsibility or project needs adjusting. It’s time to reassess some of your goals this month.

"My mission belongs to the Lord.
With all my heart I will give my
energy and my time to the
Master because I love Him.
Therefore, I am going to look at
every day not as mine, but as His.
I will treat each minute of His time
with respect and focus and with the
dedication that it deserves."
Elder M. Russell Ballard

Marketing, or present what you serve to the community in an attractive way is not an easy task. One might find it easy, but chances of their solutions not being so effective is quite high. You could be having a lot of competitors, but don’t forget that it is a blessing for you to get better. Especially in terms of the marketing side. There are many kinds of techniques; some are expensive and some are too conventional. Amongst them, a few will help you to boost you sales and achieve that recognition that your business needs.

Here are 3 amazing marketing techniques that your business must implement.

  • Targeted marketing via electronic-mails
    This refers to a technique where you will be sending messages to e-mail addresses of a selected group of people who are currently affiliated with your business or a purchased list of leads. It doesn’t matter how many people that you send you e-mails to, what truly matters is the content and how you’re presenting them. If you find this either confusing or if you’re short of resources, you can simply outsource this service and it won’t be a waste money at all. There are many benefits of using perfect mail marketing as a promotional technique. Here are few of them.
    • They increase the brand awareness
    • They are specifically targeted, i.e. has a good control on who receives them
    • They can be shared easily
    • They are easily measurable
    • They are quite cost effective
      As you can see, this trending technique will benefit you, quite handsomely.
      • Untargeted bulk mails
        Now that you have a separate section to take care of specifically selected individuals, it might not be such a bad idea to go for the ever-effective unaddressed mail technique. The best thing about this particular method is that they do not contain any specific delivery address. They can be prepared by all kinds of wrapping techniques too. Given that this technique implements greater chances of reaching out to a bigger community, you must try it.They typically can be delivered to places such as,
        • Local, state or govt. organizations
        • Religious institutions
        • Educational intuitions
        • Private residencies
        • Apartments
          You only have to make the right decision on the place.
          • Social media marketing
            The reason why social media network owners billions is due to the advertisement volume that are established in these networks. Furthermore, you have the capability to target or just randomly distribute advertisements. In the end of the day, the job will be done for such a cheap price.
            Utilizing these new world techniques is something that we must do. That way, you will never lose your competitive advantage, ever.

Think before you post

Chuck Kajer, The New Prague Times

Social media has become an important tool for many, but there is a disturbing trend that turns a lot of people off about it, and that is the anonymity and immediacy of the medium.

People sometimes put whatever unfiltered thoughts enter their mind immediately onto social media, without thinking. A motorcycle crash that happened Saturday evening in New Prague is a prime example.

Shortly after the crash, people were talking about it on the Facebook page “New Prague Happenings.” It is helpful to know if there is a crash in the area, so people will understand why traffic is being delayed or rerouted, to help people avoid the area. But within a few minutes, someone was asking who it was involved in the crash. That is not the best place to post that information. Let the police inform family members first, rather than getting the name out on social media so family members can see it along with the general public.

But even more disturbing are some of the heartless comments people put out there. Upon seeing a news story that the motorcycle driver, who suffered serious injuries, was a police officer in another community, and that alcohol may have been a factor, several people posted comments saying that the officer should lose his job, should have known better, used poor judgement etc. These instant judgements were being made on a man who had been taken by helicopter to a trauma hospital with life-threatening injuries. One person made a comment about not setting a good example, and followed it with the term “LOL.” For anyone who doesn’t know, LOL is a social media abbreviation for “Laugh Out Loud.”

There are many appropriate responses, but the hours after a crash when a person is fighting for their life are not the time to judge, to condemn and especially, not to “Laugh out Loud.” I’m guessing even the person who posted that comment thought better of it because a short time later, that comment appeared to have been edited to remove that phrase.

This was the time for offering prayers, good wishes and support to the driver, who may or may not have made a mistake, and to his family and friends.

NCKU Alumna Yih-Harn Liu Becomes First Taiwanese to Win Boat International Young Designer of the Year Award 2019

Yih-harn Liu, alumna of NCKU’s Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering, entered Boat International’s yacht design competition and won the Young Designer of the Year Award 2019, becoming the first Taiwanese to win a major award in the international yacht community. Professor Ming-Chung Fang, her advisor during her undergraduate and postgraduate studies, expressed his pride in Yih-harn Liu: “Yih-harn is very talented, and even more importantly, she is hard-working and an avid learner. I knew back then that she would make it big one day!”

Yih-harn Liu, who pursued both her bachelor’s degree and her master’s degree at the Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering at NCKU, is a great lover of boats and the sea. She loves sharing pictures of boats and the ocean as well as pictures of herself on boats and at competitions on her Facebook page. After obtaining her master’s degree in 2016, she studied yacht design and interior design at Italy and the UK. Winning this major international award in the yacht community, Yih-harn Liu expressed with excitement that it was a great recognition and encouragement and that she was thankful to NCKU for helping her build a solid foundation.

Yih-harn Liu further indicated that NCKU is a comprehensive university with a wide selection of courses, which is rare in Taiwan. Students can take courses based on their interests and their future goals and needs. In addition to the required and elective courses that she took at the Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering during her undergraduate studies, she also took a statistics course at the Department of Accountancy and learned design and hand-drawing at the Department of Industrial Design. “The knowledge and skills that I gained from these courses may not seem to be directly connected to yacht design, but they more or less helped me when I analyzed problems, did projects, and made decisions, so I could look at problems from a more rational angle and use more mature methods to express my designs.”

Professor Jeng-Horng Chen at NCKU’s Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering, who taught Yih-harn Liu engineering graphics, thermodynamics, and basic ship design in the first, second, and fourth years of her undergraduate studies, observed that Yih-harn held high self-expectations and was generally at the top of her class. He was particularly impressed with her performance in the fourth-year basic ship design course. “The level of the project that her group turned in that year was far beyond what was required. They used a number of additional tools and skills, and their s hip configurations displayed considerable ingenuity. Much of it was clearly the result of active learning.” They even fabricated a company name and designed a logo; you could see their ambition to do their best. Their project was practically what you would find in the industry, and no other students have surpassed them so far.” Jeng-Horng Chen still has that project today, and whenever any student complains that the project is too hard to do, he shows them the project, which brings gasps of astonishment.

Ming-Chung Fang explained that Yih-harn had aimed toward yacht design early on. Aside from working on her schoolwork, she also served as the vice president of the NCKU sailing club and competed in sailing races, which gave her experience in navigation and deepened her knowledge and understanding of yachts. After obtaining her master’s degree at NCKU, she went abroad to further her studies and courageously marched onward toward her goal. “She is constantly nourishing her life progress, and this award is the fruit of her considerable efforts and preparation.”

Chairman Sheng-Chih Shen of the Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering stressed that NCKU offers many opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning. In addition to their engineering education, students at the Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering are also welcome to take classes at the College of Planning and Design if they are interested in design, drawing, or aesthetics. For years, there has been no shortage of system and naval mechatronic engineering majors pursuing their master’s in design, and students in the Department of Industrial Design have also found research collaborations between their advisors and professors at the Department of System and Naval Mechatronic Engineering. Furthermore, NCKU has many departments and a diverse selection of student clubs to help students cultivate their skills in coordination, problem solving, and management and expand their social networks. Yih-harn’s achievement is the best example of the advantages offered by NCKU’s diverse learning environment.

Boat International received a record high of 42 entries for the Young Designer of the Year Award 2019. Entrants were required to design and create the general plans for an 80-meter motor sailer . After two rounds, only six entrants from five countries, namely Italy, Turkey, Taiwan, the UK, and China, made it into the finals.

The Young Designer of the Year Award, which targets young yacht designers, is presented during the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards and has long been co-sponsored by Boat International magazine and superyacht builder Oceanco. Other award categories include best exterior styling, best interior design, and best naval architecture, and they are like the Oscar Awards of the yacht community.

ICC World Cup: Indian squad announced

India announced their 15-man squad for the ICC World Cup to be played in England from 30th of next month. Virat Kohli will lead the team.

The squad was announced by the BCCI Acting Honorary Secretary Amitabh Choudhary in Mumbai, with Chairman of Selectors M.S.K. Prasad sharing the dais.

While there were no major surprises in the 15, the inclusion of Dinesh Karthik was the notable factor.

Karthik returned to India's World Cup squad after 12 years, while Rishabh Pant was excluded.

Veteran Dinesh Karthik pipped young turk Rishabh Pant in the fight for the second wicket-keeper's slot. The 33-year-old Karthik got the nod ahead of the 21-year-old Pant despite an indifferent IPL campaign with the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar made it for his three-dimensional qualities.
