Bias and Attack on First Amendment Rights on Full Display!

Clark County, Nevada

August 31, 2017

Veterans in Politics International (“VIPI”) and its President and chief journalist, Steve Sanson, were recently dragged into an unrelated divorce case by the family court lawyer, Marshal Willick, who is personally suing Sanson and VIPI for defamation.  Willick is trying to stifle VIPI’s investigative articles criticizing what it believes are Willick’s and his fiancé Jennifer Abrams’ (also a family lawyer) improper professional tactics.

Until yesterday’s hearing involving VIPI and Sanson, the judge in the divorce case was Bryce Duckworth, one of the family court judges also caught up in the investigation leading to VIPI’s public complaint to the Presiding Judge of District Court, each of the Supreme Court justices, and to the public corruption directors of law enforcement as part of VIPI’s “war” on Family Court corruption..  (CLICK HERE FOR A COPY OF OUR LETTER OF COMPLAINT: ).

Yesterday’s hearing was truly shocking.  Sanson and VIPI had made a motion to throw out subpoenas that Willick had served on Sanson in the divorce case.  VIPI believes that Judge Duckworth improperly dragged Sanson into court, and in yesterday’s hearing, questioned him on issues that the Judge admitted he had a professional conflict with.   The judge then stifled counsel and launched into an unsupported implausible rant accusing VIPI of corruption apparently, in order to protect his own reputation and deflect his alleged improper behavior.  The Judge then appears to have leaked the video of the hearing to Willick and his followers hours or a day before the Court Clerk could make it available to the public and before the Court Clerk could officially unseal the case.

The good news is, that pursuant to VIPI’s request at the hearing, the case has been UNSEALED.  That means that we can now show you an example of the unfair, unsavory and unfortunate events that can happen in family court.  If the court can do this to VIPI, which has the benefit of counsel, imagine what litigants who are self-represented must go though.

see second video:

Bias and Attack on First Amendment Rights on Full Display! Part 2-2

The video of yesterday’s hearing was secretly leaked to Willick or his followers at least several hours, if not a day, before the Court Clerk made the video available to the public.  VIPI requested a copy of the video immediately after the hearing, and as usual, was advised that it would be available the next afternoon.  Yet, Willick and his followers posted the hearing video online by 10:30am the next morning.  Moreover, while the official video was in two parts, the one Willick or his followers posted online was in one part, indicating it was either an original master or was obtained in sufficient time to edit together before its 10:30 am release.  The Court Clerk also confirmed that VIPI was the only entity that officially requested a copy of the video from the Court.  So, someone in the Judge’s office apparently leaked the video to Willick or his followers.  Moreover, at the time Willick or his followers posted the video online, the Clerk had not even officially unsealed the case, which was not officially unsealed until the afternoon.  No court clerk was authorized to release the video before that time.

Instead of VIPI’s motions being heard by a Discovery Commissioner as is stated under Eighth Judicial District Rule 2.34, the Judge arranged for VIPI’s motions to be heard by him personally.  CLICK HERE FOR THE ORDER: ). He also took the unusual step of stating in the Order that “The Court expects that all individuals related to the issues before the Court will be available to participate in the hearing.”  While judges can order parties to attend hearings, it is highly unusual for this to be done in non-evidentiary discovery motions.  The Order falsely indicated that this was to be a hearing on the various discovery motions, but shortly after the hearing began the Judge announced that he had no intention of ruling on the motions.  So, what could possibly be his intention?

While Sanson was the only one who complied with the Court’s Order and appeared with his lawyer, the judge was un-phased that the actual parties to the case did not appear and he did not postpone the hearing to compel their appearance which he had ordered!.  The judge immediately had Mr. Sanson sworn in to give testimony without any notice to counsel that this would become an evidentiary hearing.

The judge falsely accused Sanson of trying to influence him in the case based on a brief conversation that Sanson had with the judge regarding VIPI’s “war” on family court over three months ago.  The judge came to this conclusion despite making the following admissions:

  1. The Judge has had a friendly relationship with Sanson for over nine years and neither Sanson nor VIPI have ever tried to influence the judge on a case.

  1. Other than a brief phone conversation at issue, there was no indication that Sanson was trying to influence him on the case.

  1. Neither Sanson nor VIPI are parties to the case.

  1. The alleged attempt to influence the judge was made at an odd time in the case — after the party on whose behalf the influence was allegedly intended had already won the main issue in the case.

  1. Sanson had no knowledge about the issues or merits of the case, and did not impart any substantive information to the judge.

  1. Sanson’s statement to the judge was about Willick’s courtroom antics, the same lawyer who was suing him separately, and not about the litigants or their specific issues.

  1. The judge could point to no effect that this conversation had on the case, and no tie to any ruling on any issue in the case.

  1. The judge did not believe he had issued any gag order in the case, yet was upset that Sanson may have spoken to one of the parties in the case, even about non-confidential, non-sealed issues. This is a violation of Sanson’s and VIPI’s First Amendment and journalistic rights.

  1. The Judge did not view the conversation with Sanson to be significant enough to recuse himself over the three months since that conversation took place.

The judge also interrogated Sanson from the bench about the very conversation that the judge acknowledged he may be called upon as to testify about as a witness and would therefore have to recuse himself over.

During the hearing, counsels made several arguments to the Judge pointing out bias by the Judge, and conclusions made by the Court based on a complete lack of evidence but the Judge simply ignored them, and continued to try to make a false record of VIPI’s alleged corruption without any substantiating evidence.

Typically, when a judge recuses himself because he believes he cannot be neutral or believes he has a conflict of interest, he simply states so on the record, calmly and briefly describes the nature of the conflict, and then states that he must therefore recuse himself.  This judge, however, obviously had a different agenda – he was determined to make a record to discredit VIPI and its investigation on family court, and cast himself as an ethical judge in light of VIPI’s public complaints about him.  Instead, however, he simply highlighted the railroading and clandestine judicial behaviors that go on in family court.

During the course of the hearing, the Judge stormed off the bench two times.  Once in the middle of hearing when he got angry and again at the end of the hearing when he wanted no response to his “speech.”  This type of behavior does not reflect the proper judicial temperament we need in Nevada.

VIPI used to have high regard for Judge Duckworth, and even endorsed him in his campaign to become a judge and had recommended him for a presiding judge position.  But, when we make a mistake, we let our followers know.  This was the first time we have been before Judge Duckworth as litigants.  What we experienced unfortunately causes us to reinforce our public complaints against this judge.

If he acted this way with us, we cannot imagine what he does to other litigants who do not even have the benefit of counsel.

Fourth or fifth time to Tulum and Soliman Bay. Villa La Semilla is one beautiful home: modern and clean in aesthetic, attentive to detail and creativity with the food they prepare, and friendly hospitality with the caretakers. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Booked through MayaLuxe and they were attentive and responsive. They came by on New Year's eve with a basket of decorations and gifts. Thanks for a great vacation!!!!

Posted on 19 January 2019
When you first enter the facility, you are tired from a long flight, screaming kid that kept you from enjoying your book, the negotiations at the car rental and the stress of driving in an unfamiliar country are completely vaporized by the beauty that is Villa La Semilla. The connection the home has to the natural earth is relaxing and impressive. Trees growing inside the house? Sure! A tree speckled entrance to your own personal beach? FAB. A balcony that lets you feel a million miles from your office and inches from a spiritual experience, gazing at the ocean as you sit atop the trees. Check. As you can see there are lots of trees and there are no complaints from me. My Family was happy, joyous, and free as we enjoyed the space and felt like royalty. What really cemented it for us was the amazing team that was always there and never intruding. Edwin the overseer of the house was there to greet, fix and explain with a permanent smile on his face. Marisol who kept the house tidy and clean could not have been more pleasant. As others have attested to there was no better experience than Edwin the cook and Chef Antonio. The team that prepared the foods were honest, hard working, and had a culinary talent to satisfy everyones caloric desires. Would come back, will come back and would not be spreading the gospel for my own selfishness if not for my desire to share this heaven with the world.

Our Family of 11 could not have had a better vacation. The villa is spectacular and so tastefully decorated. The staff, all of them, were helpful, friendly, accommodating and Irma is really an excellent, chef. Christian worked hard to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. The setting is wonderful on a warm cove with excellent snorkeling We hardly left the villa since we found it so relaxing and perfect but we did go to the adventure park with the kids one day and to a nearby cenote and the white sand beach at Tulum on another day. On the way home we stopped at playa del carmen for little shopping and lunch.

The villa is absolutely beautiful, and I have no doubt we chose the best! The architecture, the decor, the views, the amenities, all were perfect. The chef and her team were fantastic, we ate fresh, healthy, tasty food all week, and didn't put on weight! There are kayaks, a paddle board, surf board and plenty to keep you amused, or just relax. We were in heaven all week and didn't want to leave!

Simply stunning home in a beautiful spot
(5 of 5)
Posted on 2 January 2018
Beach house minimalism at it's finest. If you like the photos, you'll love the house. We had two families of 4, and the house easily accommodated our raucous playtime, as well as our privacy needs. Kayaks, a stand up paddle board and snorkels are all provided. All the staff were fantastic - friendly, courteous, helpful & unobtrusive. Our chef, Irma, was amazing. We will definitely ask for her again. Soliman Bay is not one of the major destinations, so it's a little hard to find (it's down the dirt road directly opposite Oscar y Lalo restaurant :), and the bay is very quiet - perfect swimming for kids and a bit of lazy paddling or snorkeling. But it's a short drive to Tulum for shopping (Chedraui is by far the best). Enjoy!

The caretaker of the legendary Graves family home, where the doors are always open to those in need, Clayton spends his days bringing food to the hungry, warmth to the cold and helpless-and most of all, caring for his beloved granddaughter, Elizabeth. But the Lord has plans for his faithful servant that Clayton could never foresee. When impending tragedy strikes the legendary mountain man, his strength is tested as he struggles to ensure a bright future for Elizabeth, as well as his dearest friends and the tight-knit, snowbound community that has come to rely on him. A poignant story of love and family, old-fashioned values, childhood nostalgia, and the challenges we all face in life, "The King of Coalman's Hill" will resonate long after the final words are read.

Providing Care for Complex Rehabilitation Needs

Posted: 2/4/2019 11:15:37 AM by By Lynn Pierce, Director of Social Services

Skilled nursing care and support is required for all types of admissions and stays at The Maplewood whether they are short or long stays. It is the rehabilitation stays that have changed the most significantly in recent years.

The Maplewood has always provided excellent therapy, nursing care and support services for rehabilitation residents. The common characteristics of the rehabilitation referrals were primarily people choosing elective surgery to replace or repair a joint such as a knee or hip. These patients would arrive at The Maplewood after a three-day hospital stay and would begin a rigorous restorative therapy program. The progress would be swift and medically uncomplicated. The resident would reach a maintenance level of therapy having reached the therapy goals for both physical therapy and occupational therapy and would then be discharged to home. A certified home care agency would provide a short period of support in the home as the patient transitioned back to their home setting.

The Changing Nature of Rehabilitation Stays

Over the past several years, the insurance coverage after surgery for restorative therapy has changed dramatically. Therefore many of the patients that previously came directly to a skilled nursing facility prior to going home are now going home with therapy and support services in the home. This transition, although limiting some patient’s options for therapy, has meant that many of the very short- and medically-straightforward therapy treatments happen in the home setting rather than the skilled nursing environment.

This has opened up the opportunity for more complex rehabilitation stays at The Maplewood. The characteristics of these referrals may include: those who have had a stroke, cardiac surgery, multiple physical injuries, and co-morbidities (multiple medical diagnosis). These co-morbidities may be any combination of medical conditions such as the following: diabetes, coronary artery disease, renal failure, cancer, respiratory issues, cognitive issues, dementia and hypertension. This has resulted in a more comprehensive review of referrals to assess for skilled nursing and medical needs prior to a patient’s stay at The Maplewood.

It Starts with a Referral – The Review Process

When a referral is sent to The Maplewood the first clinical person to review the referral is the Social Worker. The Social Worker reviews the information to assess the type of rehabilitation the person may need, the potential length of stay and the types of the support that may be needed throughout the stay. The Social Worker is looking at specific concerns that may require Social Work support during the stay in order to enhance success and comfort for the resident. These may include length of hospital stay, age of resident, family support, frequency of hospitalizations, mental health diagnosis and potential place of discharge after the restorative rehabilitation stay.

Since most of the referrals also have complex medical issues that need to be delicately monitored throughout the stay, the referral packet is also reviewed by nursing administration. As they review the referrals, they are assessing for the types of medical and nursing care and equipment needs that the person will need during their stay.

Based on the patient’s level of physical ability in the hospital and their other medical conditions, the physical therapist may also review the referral prior to The Maplewood accepting the referral.

The Maplewood philosophy is to be able to accept referrals and be proactive in order to provide exceptional care from the moment the person arrives at our skilled nursing facility. This thorough assessment prior to admission will ultimately result in successful treatment and care during a rehabilitation stay. This practice is a commitment to excellent care and a best practice standard.

After the referral has been thoroughly reviewed by the appropriate professionals the patient is accepted for admission. The patient is then discharged from the hospital and comes to The Maplewood for restorative therapy services.

Rehabilitation Care at The Maplewood – An Interdisciplinary Approach

When the patient arrives at The Maplewood for rehabilitation, multiple disciplines meet with and assess the patient from the moment they arrive. Nursing, therapy, social work and dietary are the first to meet with the patient and family members (if appropriate), to gather additional important information such as specific medical information not yet received through the clinical referral, daily routine and personal preferences. All of these clinical discipline assessments are important as the resident becomes adjusted to a new setting and the therapy process. Then, during their stay, the patient will also meet with the activity staff. The business office will also meet with the patient to discuss insurance coverage and answer any questions the patient or family may have regarding coverage.

Social Work

Since rehabilitation patients may have multiple clinical and support needs while at The Maplewood, various departments provide enhanced support and monitoring during the stay and also while preparing for discharge to the community. The Social Worker will include the certified home care agency in communications from the very beginning of the rehabilitation stay, whereas in the past the initial contact may have been closer to the discharge date to return to the community. The home care discharge coordinator will be invited to the care conference and the Social Worker will also network between the home care agency and the nursing and therapy departments at The Maplewood. In addition, the Social Worker provides ongoing, support, reassurance and comfort to the patient and their families or caregivers as they may experience emotional challenges during the stay.

The nursing department will network with the patient’s primary care doctor if there are aspects of the care that need more specific background information such as immunizations, recent diagnosis and treatment. The nurses also stay current regarding the resident’s medical status regarding any other medical concerns or issues and therapy progress. They are continually communicating with the nurse practitioners and primary physician at The Maplewood regarding skilled nursing and medical needs. They also provide emotional support and caring to the resident in conjunction with nursing care and treatment.

The therapy staff has a major role in the success of treatment for rehabilitation patients. They assess each person regarding their physical status and all of their physical limitations, conditions and cognitive abilities. They develop a personalized program of treatment that promotes progress and success as they encourage, motivate and coach the patient through the process. Previously, traditional rehabilitation stays were approximately 7-10 days depending on the type of elective surgery. Currently, the more complex rehabilitation stays require a longer and more comprehensive approach in order to reach the same level of success for the patient.

Discharge Planning

When the patient reaches the maintenance level of therapy then the patient is transitioned back home to the community with home care services. This transition involves multiple disciplines; nursing, therapy, dietary and social work as information, recommendations and medical community networking is done in preparation for the discharge. This promotes a smooth transition to the community for the patient whether it’s to the same environment or to a more supportive one.

The commitment that The Maplewood has to its approach to complex rehabilitation admission is another reason why The Maplewood is the premiere skilled nursing long-term care and rehabilitation facility in the Rochester, New York area.

Birthday Celebration Fun Ideas

Kids birthday parties could be plenty of fun, however they is yet another large amount of work. Make certain you follow the following tips.

Youthful Children’s Kids Birthday Parties. A secure guideline may be the more youthful the birthday child, the less visitors to ask. Very youthful children could possibly get at a loss for the thrill of the birthday celebration. The smaller sized the party the less anxiety you will have.

Children Ages 5 to 9. This age bracket wants variety. Games that attract a 5 years old might be rejected by older kids. Kids won’t receiving treatment “like babies.” Make certain your games and entertainment are age appropriate.

Adult Supervision. Also have enough adults on hands. The more youthful the kids, the greater adult supervision you will need.

Games. Mothering sunday party is a superb excuse to cover the recording games and obtain the children to experience some real games. Pin the Tail around the Donkey is a lot of fun. Musical chairs is yet another great game. You need to be aware some more youthful children may cry once they lose. You might want to choose less competitive games.

Location. Have your party in your own home allow it an individual touch. A celebration in your own home means you are in charge of your day. It’s much more work than renting a celebration room but frequently it can save you enough money by doing this. Party rooms are convenient and provide lots of activities. Many parents should you prefer a party room simply because they require little preparation. The party room takes proper care of clearing up too. Once the party’s over, you simply go back home.

Food. Buffet style is most effective inside a restaurant. Allow the kids choose what they are really likely to eat. Obviously, pizza is generally a great choice. Food allergic reactions are becoming a lot more of the problem nowadays. Any child having a food hypersensitivity must only be permitted for your party should you that child’s parent come in attendance too.

Entertainment. Choose age appropriate entertainment. Magic shows are ideal for most ages. While a loud costume and vibrant wig look funny from the comfort of the circus seat, to some youthful child it may be terrifying. Clowns can scare more youthful children so make sure your birthday clown wears only a little makeup. Make certain your party entertainment is interactive and inclusive. Children ought to be asked to have fun playing the activities. Games along with other activities should allow all children to get familiar with the enjoyment.

An expert magic show is easily the most popular type of birthday celebration entertainment. Magic shows offer variety, surprises and laughter. A great birthday celebration performer can make the birthday child star from the show. Make sure to inquire if your magician uses plenty of volunteers. Children enjoy being area of the show.

VMblog Interview with Tricerat Ahead of DISRUPT 2020

If you are involved in End User Computing in any way, shape or form, you absolutely must check out the details on the upcoming DISRUPT 2020 event.  Now in its third year, DISRUPT is quickly filling a void and becoming the standard event to address everything EUC.

The 2020 DISRUPT events will take place January 27 through 29 in Nashville, TN and February 4-6 in Munich, Germany.

Read this exclusive pre-show VMblog interview with Andrew Parlette, CTO at Tricerat, to learn more about the company and what they have planned for the DISRUPT event.

tricerat logo

VMblog:  To kick things off, can you tell readers a little bit about Tricerat?

Andrew Parlette:  Tricerat has improved printing in EUC environments for over 20 years as a partner with Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, and others. Tricerat pioneered the first virtual print driver to solve printing problems and driver management headaches in remote desktops. They have continued to expand their product line to address a wide range of printing methods and hybrid technologies.

VMblog:  Talk about your technology, what problems do you solve?  And how are you considered unique?

Parlette:  Tricerat's printing technology adapts to a wide variety of environments including remote desktop, physical desktop, cloud applications, print server printing, direct printing, client printing, mobile, and more. ScrewDrivers solves time-consuming challenges for administrators through the simple management console and delivers high performance and consistent printing to end users. The ability to dynamically build the right printer based on user and device gives the best possible user experience and reduces print waste.

VMblog:  Explain how you partner with IGEL.

Parlette:  Combining Tricerat's printing solutions with IGEL's centralization of endpoint management, admins can effectively manage all aspects of the user environment. Tricerat manages printing in all EUC environments including VDI and WVD, and user printing can be managed in the remote desktop for network printers or utilize local printers connected to an IGEL client using the ScrewDrivers Linux Client. For dynamic printer assignments, printers can be assigned to users based on the IGEL client in use along with the group memberships for the user.

VMblog:  What do you plan to show off at your booth at DISRUPT 2020?

Parlette:  Tricerat will be demonstrating easy print management in hybrid environments and the new Linux client for complete printer management. The ScrewDrivers Linux Client with full compatibility for IGEL endpoints further expands the variety of printing methods supported by ScrewDrivers.

VMblog:  Why do you think DISRUPT is a much needed event this year?

Parlette:  The EUC space continues to grow in capability and possibility including the excitement around WVD and cloud desktops. Now more than ever admins need tools to simplify the otherwise complex environments and leverage solutions that increase administrator efficiency while delivering a better experience to their users. IGEL's software-defined endpoint platform is an example of this and the ever-improving capabilities of a solution stack for VDI.

VMblog:  What do you attribute to the growing success of End User Computing?  Why has it become so popular lately?

Parlette:  The EUC platforms have had consistent improvements over the years thanks to improvements in hardware, operating systems, client devices, connectivity, and software management layers. Recent innovations helped enable the Windows Virtual Desktop service offering including multi-user Windows 10.

VMblog:  Finally, how does Tricerat and your solution help with the growth of the EUC market?

Parlette:  Tricerat innovations in print management have helped administrators achieve even better utilization of their EUC platforms. Tricerat offers advantages for both admins and users. By offering methods of dynamically and intelligently distributing printers to users with minimal driver hassles, efficiency gains can quickly drive a return on investment throughout organizations and improve user productivity.

Diplodocid scapulocoracoid

I’ve been talking about Miocene fossils for several days now, so I thought I’d shift over to dinosaurs for a bit.I showed pictures of this bone while still in the field, and we opened the jacket on Dino Day. It’s a scapulocoracoid (shoulder blade) from a sauropod dinosaur, probably a diplodocid like this one on exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science:

In our specimen, the dark area on the right is the “coracoid” part of the “scapulocoracoid”; the back part is the scapula. The coracoid is dark because it’s been cleaned, while the scapula is still covered with a thin layer of sediment over most of its surface.

It takes awhile to remove this sediment, because it’s glued to the surface of the bone. To make the bone strong enough for jacketing, the entire surface was covered with a thin glue in the field. In the lab, we have to remove the glue, then remove the sediment, and then finally re-glue the bone.

Winters Voice

Nestled in the van with the heater warming our toes we sped along the cold roads early this morning leaving our house. We came down the hill, and there before us was a sight to behold.
“Wow! Look at that!” Jonas called from the back seat.

The sun broke from the clouds igniting the silver mountains. In shimmering rays it pulled at Fog slumbering upon the tree tops, drawing out his spindly arms. There before us they danced,
Sun and Fog
swirling together like marbled sponge cake.

As we neared the woods I saw as they skipped and chased after one another through the forests of tall aspens. Beams of light and tendrils of cloudy mist weaving in and out. The scenes flashed by our windows like photographs in a film reel.

The Aspen stood there, knobby knees poking out, wearing only their white bathrobes and fluffy bunny slippers. Their twigs tangled with their neighbors, like a swath of bad morning hair. They didn’t join the dance, they remained firmly planted in the icy snow drifts- observing.
Much too drowsy from Winter‘s voice.

An old three rung fence, had his arms outstretched protectively around the aspens, scolding the sun and the fog for playing so. “HUSH!” He creaked, quivering with age.
“Don’t wake them!”
Did Old Fence hear something I didn’t?

Ah, it must be Joy. So beautiful, childish, and bright. Whispering of Hope and Spring. Joy singing while Winter preens showing us her dazzling beauty.
The day just bursts with it all, shouting, whispering, singing
of their Maker. God.
King of Hope.

An old photo of Sun… because I “wrote” the photo of what I saw

Using HTTPS on yours site

Symptom: When visiting your site with HTTPS, images within Voyager fail to load.

Cause: Images urls are generated by Voyager using

If is set to public, and the public disk is the default from Laravel, then the url property in the disk configuration is set to

'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',

which uses the non-HTTPS APP_URL value to build an absolute url to the image.

Solution: If you remove env('APP_URL'). from the public disk configuration, then it will render a domain-relative url, which will always use the current domain and protocol.

As an aside, if you need a fully-qualified URL, you could wrap the call to Voyager::image('...') with asset(), so it would be

This will return the current protocol, domain, and correct path to that image.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that it is raising the salary level that companies will have to pay to exempt workers from overtime to $35,568 a year, up from $23,660. Americans earning less than that amount will typically be paid time and a half for any work over 40 hours a week.

The new rule will benefit retail, fast-food restaurant, and home health care workers, as well as other lower-paid workers. Many employees in those industries have been paid just above the $23,660 threshold, which has been in place since 2004, and then required to work overtime without extra pay.

Many worker rights’ group and left-of-center economists criticized the move, however, for covering far fewer workers than an earlier proposal issued by the Obama administration in 2015.

Under Obama, the Labor Department proposed raising the threshold to more than $47,000, which would have made nearly 5 million more workers eligible for overtime. That rule, however, was struck down in court after being challenged by states and business groups.

Christine Owens, executive director of the National Employment Law Project, also criticized the new rule for not including a provision to regularly increase the threshold. Obama’s proposal would have indexed the level to wage growth and adjusted it every three years.

“The Trump Labor Department’s rule says that if you make more than $35,568 a year, you’re a highly paid executive, administrator, or professional who doesn’t need overtime pay,” Owens said.

In the 1970s, more than 60% of workers were eligible for overtime pay, said Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. That figure fell to just 7% in 2016. The threshold hasn’t been increased since 2004.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce praised the rule, arguing that it provides more flexibility for employers in managing their staffs.

“The new overtime salary threshold is a balanced and responsible update to the standard that has been in place for 15 years,” said Marc Freedman, vice president of workplace policy at the Chamber.

IRS New Compliance Campaigns and International Audits of Individuals

On November 3, 2017, the IRS announced the roll out of 11 Large Business and International (LB&I) Compliance Campaigns.LB&I previously announced the roll out of its first 13 campaigns on 1/31/17. In an effort to make the best use of its limited resources, the IRS is moving toward “issue-based examinations” in which a civil tax audit is focused on a particular issue that LB&I has deemed to be a compliance risk. LB&I’s goal is to improve return selection, identify issues representing a risk of noncompliance, and make the greatest use of limited resources, according to the IRS.

Bonnie, bonnie Scotland

As the year draws sleepy here into a new, this blog now returns to its homeland, where it originated and whence it was born: Scotland. 10 years after we met, we returned in November for calm, wildness, and time with the dearest of friends.

I had arrived in London about 5 days before Walker, and took a tour de friends: meeting up with so many in London, Leeds, Edinburgh and St Andrews. I took trains each step and met Walker up in the capital of the north of Scotland: Inverness.  The plan was 6 nights in the barren Highlands before half a week back in Edinburgh with our friends.

At the recommendation of our first hotel, Alladale Wilderness Reserve, we stopped at a a restaurant and shop called Storehouse for lunch. The crispy fish n ships and thick soup warmed us from the damp, and the sun setting over the water, around 3pm, was beautiful.

Our drive to Alladale was a bit rough, as the hotel had mentioned GPS could be wrong, and, forgetting, we took us down a 'road' that could in no sense of the word be described as a 'road', especially not in a 'miniature SUV' rental, which in American terms can only be described as a tiny car. To make a very long story not as long, the road deteriorated, and we had to turn back, over 90 minutes out of the way, in the dark, to get to the hotel. If not for the below logging area, we may have gotten stuck deep in the Scottish forest with no where to turn around, which this area provided.

We arrived late to Alladale, an incredible old estate now working on conservation, to discover we were the only ones staying that night; what a treat to have a whole estate to ourselves, with warm meals. We woke the next morning to stags right outside our room.

Of course, I rushed outside to capture them, only to discover they came each morning to feed right there, new guests exceited for the serendipity they imagined each morning.

A warm dinner, thick tapestry drawn, and we slept like lord and lady in our personal estate for the night. Next morning, we had booked a 4×4 tour with the gamekeeper, Ryan, to learn about the property and see parts unreachable by our very insufficient car. We drove down into the deep Glen Alladale, past a few rental properties the estate rents, and into pure wilderness.

The aim of the owner of the estate is to 'rewild' the highlands; this basically entails growing native species, including Scottish Pines, back by controlling the deer populations, and perhaps, someday, re-introducing natural predators. We learned that since the predators of deer (wolves) disappeared hundreds of years ago, the landscape of the highlands has lost a vast quantity of pines by being over-eaten.

While it is stunning, it is not all that healthy, we learned.

Speaking of species, we walked up to these seemingly empty cage-like cupolas with Ryan, and then discovered his pet project: the wildcats he cares for.

Perhaps someday the landscape will be healthy enough for them to roam safely, but not quite yet.

We could see what care Ryan took in making sure they grow healthy and safely, and being face to face truly mesmerized us.

A bit more of a bouncy drive, over rivers, through peatlands,

And there was the golden autumn of the highlands.

As we approached, the fluffy Highland Cows streamed toward our Rover.

Ryan said they were docile but the width of their horns and their size was too similar to a buffalo to feel comfortable, and I hid in the car,

telling myself over and again: they are just cows, they are just cows.

Some friendly blokes wandered up to the van and I was whisper-yelling at Walk "get back in the car!" while Ryan calmly fed them and assured us all was fine, which is certainly was.

They very vocally yearned for some feed,

and then calmly strung out eating peacefully. Their strategies were funny as a few in the front powered their way to the first fruits, and others were happy with the remnants.

All of them were beautiful ranges of colors. Majestic.

We drove a bit more before we stopped for lunch at the Alladale-owned Deannich Lodge, which is used for group retreats. I ate my sandwich standing next to the radiator, one of the great joys of the U.K.

and we watched this view as we crunched on apples,

something out of a medieval tale, full of mystery.

Ryan whistled and the stags came down from the hills as well,

with their huge racks and magisterial stance.

By the early afternoon, the sun that is already hidden falls, and the darkness sortof casts a spell on the waters. Looks how mysterious.

Ryan took us across a very narrow and thin bridge, where we

tried to take deep breaths, and

found salmon swimming in the very finest layer of water.

I'll share more in the next post, but the integrity and perseverance for the land and its species that Alladale Wilderness Reserve displayed was so inspiring. The entire staff, from the chef Natasha to the manager, Pieter-Paul, were passionate about this place and its preservation.

The lack of cell service, the late evenings playing chess and chatting in the drawing room, and waking up to hike to this view: how could you not be?

The Bills’ 2019 Program includes the Cincinnati Bengals and their Squad suffered a huge blow in training camp. Wide receiver A J Green suffered an ankle injury.

The Bills and Bengals will meet in the week of their routine Season this forthcoming year. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter over the weekend, Green tore ligaments in his foot.

Green started his NFL with seven-straight Pro Bowl looks before Missing last season out. It was his first year he only played in a single-digit quantity of games (9) at a season due to injury. Just before that, his number of captures in one season was 65 as a rookie and 964 yards in 2016.

On the 30-year-old’s injury front, he will miss the next six to eight weeks. A big chunk of training camp.

In Green’s profession, he is big victories against the Bills, even with Tre’Davious White covering him as a newcomer. In 2017, Green had seven catches for 189 yards and a touchdown against the Bills in a 20-16 Bengals triumph in Cincinnati.

Bengals wide recipient A.J. Green is expected to miss multiple regular season matches after undergoing ankle surgery, coach Zac Taylor said Tuesday.

Taylor Said the ninth-year receiver underwent the procedure on Tuesday afternoon, three days after Green has been carted off the field during the team’s first practice of the pre season.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter Initially reported Green suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle. Taylor also failed to provide an exact timetable for Green’s return. “I “Hopefully, it’s more than a few games” The However, that possibility became unlikely when doctors took a further look at the injury. Until Tuesday’s procedure, Green wore a

Green missed seven Games last year with a perfect toe injury, the maximum absence of the eight-year career. Before the injury, he dropped 85.9 yards per game. Since He had been drafted with the fourth overall pick at the 2011 draft,” Green has been among the best receivers in the NFL. As stated by ESPN Stats & Information,” he is ranked sixth or higher in receptions (602), receiving yards (8,907) and touchdowns (63).

“Before I got hurt my “I just happened to have some enthusiast injuries. The former Georgia standout are in danger of missing multiple games for the fourth time in the last six years. Green Is currently entering the final year of his present contract with the Bengals. Before training camp started, he was hopeful he can hit his personal goals for your year when he stayed healthy.

“My number will undoubtedly be high if I play 16 matches,” Green said weekly. “I know that for a truth.” Immediately after the injury occurred Saturday and he had been carted off the field, Green was visibly frustrated and upset.

On Tuesday, Taylor said that the team is blessed that certain of those team’s top playmakers could play a clear majority of the upcoming season.

“We’re Thankful that it wasn’t a whole lot worse and he’ll get an opportunity to still show all of things he had been putting out to do this year,” Taylor said. “He’s a fighter” The Bengals are also without beginning wide Receiver John Ross, who’s officially day-to-day with a hamstring injury.

Tuesday was initially scheduled to be the Bengals’ first padded practice of the pre season. The team chosen to carry a walkthrough inside following a storm gathered through and delayed practice by more than 90 minutes.

The dampened conditions only added to the team’s concerns surrounding the preseason start.

“It is about the way we respond ahead,” Taylor said. “This is simply the beginning. It’s only day four to five camp. “I’m sure more things will undoubtedly soon be thrown our way and we’re excited to find out exactly what those things happen.”

historic homes of austin tour

My friend Tiffany always finds the best things to do in Austin. This weekend, she signed us up for a walking tour of historic homes in Austin. Friday night we had a huge thunderstorm which cooled things down perfectly for the tour.

Saturday morning we walked up through the beautiful Capitol grounds and started the tour at the Governor’s Mansion. It’s a beautiful home set back from the road. Like a lot of the homes on the tour, I’ve driven right past for a year and didn’t even realize that it was tucked back behind the magnificent trees.

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB OC and ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB OC Graphics Cards Review – STRIX Now With Axial Tech

Oct 28, 2018

October, 2018
Type Graphics Cards
Price $1299 US / $869

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti & ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Closer Look + Teardown

ASUS's ROG STRIX series are some of the biggest graphics cards that I have ever tested. ASUS has further refined the ROG STRIX design by offering more cooling and thermal transfer prowess within the same package. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ROG STRIX measures at 12 " x 5.13 " x 2.13 " Inch while the GeForce RTX 2080 ROG STRIX measures at 11.8 " x 5.13 " x 2.13 " Inch. Both cards are 2.7 slot designs which means that they take up just about 3 slot spaces within your case.

ASUS Equips ROG Huracan G21 Mini-PC with Up To 8 Core Intel CPUs & NVIDIA RTX 2080

You would have to keep in mind the height when going for a dual card solution as your case or motherboard PCIe slot combination may not allow such setup. The cooling shroud extends all the way to the back of the PCB and it requires a casing with good interior space for proper installation.

The back of both cards feature a solid backplate which looks stunning as always with the ROG Eye logo on the far end, a unique laser etched design spread all over and the ASUS STRIX logo, all done in brushed metallic black colors.

In terms of design, we are looking at an updated version of the DirectCU heatsink which is now in its third variation. The first variation started off with the GTX 1080 and I got to see an updated version on the GTX 1080 Ti. The one used on the new RTX 20 series is the most updated one. ASUS also had DirectCU II and DirectCU III heatsinks on previous NVIDIA GPUs but they were of a far too different design than the one I have today.

ASUS ROG ZENITH II Extreme Alpha Flagship 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper Motherboard Unveiled – Designed For 64 Core Threadripper 3990X

The new heatsink looks like a beefed up version the last DirectCU heatsink with the main changes being the fans and heatsink design. ASUS has kept their RGB implementation much similar to the previous model.

The shroud comes with cutouts the implement ASUS’s AURA Sync lighting. Each of the six cutouts comes with LEDs that light up and can be modified through the AURA RGB Lighting software. The software allows for several different lighting modes and full RGB colors (up to 16.8 million). There is also an RGB lit logo on the side and the back of the card which I will get to in a bit.

Coming to the fans, here we see one of the major updates to ASUS's ROG STRIX design. Gone is the wing-blade and now comes the Axial-tech. This is the first time a manufacturer is using Axial Tech based fans on their cards so it will be interesting to note how the affect thermal performance.

Compared to their older Wing-blade fans, the Axial Tech fans offer higher air flow (27% increase), greater static pressure (40% increase) and around the same acoustics. The fans are also designed to last longer thanks to their IP5X dust resistance certification.

The fans are fully compliant with 0dB Technology and are actually comprised of three areas. All of these would stay at 0 RPM (idle state) if the temperatures don’t exceed 55C. When it does exceed 55C, all fans would start spinning. You can enable this with the onboard BIOS “Quiet Mode” switch. The other mode is the Performance Mode which always spins the fans for better cooling and GPU performance.

I am back at talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate which both card use. The whole plate is made of solid metal with slightly sharp edges that add to the durability of this card. The brushed metallic black finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic.

There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card. There are open vents for the hot air to move out from the back too. I can also see the ASUS ROG eye logo on the back which looks stunning.

If you are not a fan of the RGB LEDs, ASUS has a Stealth mode switch that lets you turn off or on, all of the LEDs on the card.

Gone is SLI and now we have the latest NVLINK gold finger connectors. Both the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 come with a single NVLINK connector which allows for 2-Way multi-GPU functionality. The RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 are the only cards to support NVLINK connectivity so multi-GPU is only for the high-end spectrum of cards and for good reason. Only these cards have enough bandwidth that can drive another GPU of their tier as anything below wouldn't have the power to interlink to the other card.

A single x8 NVLINK channel provides 25 GB/s peak bandwidth. There are two x8 links on the TU102 GPU and a single x8 link on the Turing TU104 GPU. The TU102 GPU features 50 GB/s of bandwidth in parallel and 100 GB/s bandwidth bi-directionally. Using NVLINK on high-end cards would be beneficial in high-resolution gaming but there’s a reason NVIDIA still restricts users from doing 3 and 4 way SLI.

Multi-GPU still isn’t optimized so you won’t see much benefits unless you are running the highest end graphics cards. That’s another reason why the RTX 2070 is deprived of NVLINK connectors. The NVLINK connectors cost $79 US each and is sold separately. Currently, only NVIDIA is selling them as the AIB cards don’t include any such connectors but that may change once the standard is adopted widely.

With the outsides of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards. The first thing to catch my eye is the humungous fin stack that's part of the beefy heatsink which the cards utilize.

The large fin stack runs all the way from the front and to the back of the PCB and is so thick that you can barely see through it. ASUS has moved to a 2.7 slot design which is the result of the thicker heatsink design that offers 20% more cooling area than the last gen heatsink.

The heatsink is fitted with several copper heatpipes and has a very dense aluminum surface with a cold plate that makes direct contact with the GPU and runs the entire length of the PCB.

ASUS’s MaxContact technology allows for a precision-machined heat spreader which makes up to two times more contact with the GPU than a traditional contact surface, allowing for better heat dissipation.

ASUS is also supplying a much larger reinforcing frame on the RTX 20 series cards compared to GTX 10 series. The new frame includes plastic braces that are mounted on the backplate and I/O shield and extends on both sides of the cards and the front too. This increases the structural integrity of the card by 3 times, preventing from torsion and bending.

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Teardown:

ASUS makes use of a 16+3 phase PWM design that includes their Super Alloy Power II components such as SAP II Capacitors, SAP II Chokes, SAP II DrMOS and SAP II POSCAP. The cards also use the MT61K256M32JE-1 4:A GDDR6 memory from Micron that operates at 14 Gbps along a 352/256-bit wide memory interface.

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Side-By-Side:

Below, you can see the side by side differences of the ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 TI and 2080 graphics cards.

You can note that the shroud design is the same on both cards and so is the heatsink. The only differences between both cards are the use of a different custom PCB solution, both of which are powerful for each card.

The display port configuration on both cards is also the same which includes three Display Port 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b and a single USB Type-C port for VirtualLink HMDs (Head Mounted Displays).

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 20 Series AURA SYNC RGB Lighting Gallery:

ASUS ROG STRIX series cards utilize their AURA SYNC RGB technology to offer you a visually pleasing lighting experience on your graphics cards. There are a total of 6 different RGB effects which you can choose from and the cards have eight RGB accent points, six on the front, one on the side and one on the back of the card which looks really good. You can fully customize the RGB lights to your preference using the ASUSs' ARUA Sync application from MSI's web page.

Following is what the graphics card looks like when lit up.

Supreme Court Panel Opinions, 2019

By Jane Salem, staff attorney, Nashville

Welcome back once again to our review of last year’s workers’ compensation appellate opinions. This article will summarize the 2019 opinions from the Tennessee Supreme Court Special Workers’ Compensation Panel.

First up are appeals from the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims applying the “new law.” Then I’ll mention a few key “old law” cases.

I’m going to repeat my plea from my first article in this series: Read the cases. It’s difficult to boil an opinion down to roughly 40 words, especially when the appellate court decides more than one significant issue. Thanks.

CWCC cases

Starting with cases from the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims, perhaps the most newsworthy opinion is Sandoval v. Williamson, where the Panel affirmed the trial court and upheld the constitutionality of section 50-6-207(3)(F), which doesn’t allow increased benefits to employees who aren’t eligible or authorized to work in the U.S.

In two cases, the Panel reversed an Appeals Board majority and reinstated the trial court’s decisions.

In Joiner v. United Parcel Servs., the trial court held that an employee overcame the presumption of correctness to an authorized treating physician’s causation opinion. The Panel found the employee’s expert’s opinion that the worker’s conditions “stem from” the workplace incident met the legal standard on causation, although it wasn’t a rigid recitation of that standard.

Next, the Panel agreed with the trial court that an employee was permanently and totally disabled in Duignan v. Stowers Mach. Corp. The Appeals Board majority had reversed because the injured worker didn’t accept a position with the employer that he believed would exceed his restrictions. The Panel held, however, that a job offer or actual employment post-injury is only one of several factors for a court to consider when deciding if a worker is permanently and totally disabled.

The Panel affirmed the trial court’s award of extraordinary relief in Wright v. Nat’l Strategic Protective Servs. The Panel reminded that the trial court may make an independent examination of the evidence and isn’t bound to accept or reject an expert’s opinion in its entirety. The Panel also held that the trial court didn’t err by admitting a physician certification form into evidence, because by requiring the certification in the statute, the General Assembly intended to provide an efficient method for presenting the authorized treating physician’s opinion as to whether the work injury prevented the employee from performing his or her pre-injury occupation.

In Bunton v. Sanderson Pipe Corp., the Panel affirmed, rejecting an employee’s assertion that he didn’t engage in willful misconduct. The employee placed his hand inside moving machinery, which amputated his fingers. The employee argued the trial court removed the “willful” requirement, but the Panel disagreed because the trial court specifically found that the worker intended to place his hand inside the moving machine in violation of the safety rule.

In Coleman v. Armstrong Hardwood Flooring Co., the Panel affirmed the trial court’s ruling accepting an impairment rating from the authorized physician. The AMA Guides gave the worker a rating, but the physician used an “extrapolation method” not contained in the Guides to reduce it, separating out the hearing loss that he believed to be unrelated to work. Also of interest: A footnote explains the etymology of the word “draconian.” Draco was an Athenian lawgiver who “wrote his laws in blood, not ink.” Sounds very Game of Thrones.

In Hayes v. Costco, the Panel affirmed the trial court determination that an employee didn’t overcome the presumption of correctness to an authorized treating physician’s opinion on the work-relatedness of her need for a knee replacement. The IME physician said that her “work-related injury … caused her to have a knee replacement,” compared to the treating doctor’s opinion that more closely resembled the statutory definition of a compensable injury.

Finally, where an employee failed to present medical evidence that her alleged injuries arose primarily out of and in the course and scope of her employment, the trial court properly denied her claim. The Appeals Board affirmed, as did the Panel. The case is House v.

So, have you noticed what all of the above cases have in common, other than their subject matter and originating court? The answer is, the Panel sided with the trial court in every case. (Fist-bump, judges.)

Old-law cases

The panel released several other opinions. I won’t recap them all. Some have limited value because the former remedial construction played a role, while others seem so fact-specific that they have minimal precedential value.

The Panel issued a case on attorney-fee applications with valuable instruction to practitioners and courts alike in Keen v. Ingles Markets. The Panel vacated a fee award because the judge made a bench ruling without making findings on each of the 10 Supreme Court factors under Rule 1.5(a) of the Rules of Professional Responsibility.

Permanent total disability was disputed in many of the Panel’s 2019 old-law cases.

The Panel affirmed a determination that the injured worker was permanently and totally disabled in McCloud v. Charter Communications. The employer argued the worker’s age (40 when the case was tried), varied work history, prior training for other jobs and the fact that he was “highly trainable” contradicted the award. However, his vocational expert testified that no jobs were available for which he was qualified, the employer offered no contrary evidence on that point, and the trial court found the worker credible.

In another case, Venture Express v. Frazier, the Panel affirmed the trial court’s finding of permanent total disability resulting from a combination of neck, back and mental injuries. Notably, the employer didn’t offer its own medical experts for the neck and back injuries, and neither party introduced an expert vocational opinion; the medical evidence and the lay testimony sufficed.

The Panel offered a little advice to experts when it upheld a perm total finding in Natchez Trace Youth Acad. v. Tidwell. It observed, “many times, the trial court’s determination regarding credibility of opposing expert witnesses turns on whether the expert is willing to concede a point even though it may somewhat undercut the position the expert has been called upon to support, when compared to another expert who is unwilling to concede any point of contention.” This sounds like wise counsel for everyone, actually.

The Panel rejected an employee’s contention that she was permanently and totally disabled in another case. Although her vocational expert found her 100 percent disabled, his opinion was based on a physician restriction of no lifting more than five pounds. Considering the employee’s testimony and that no physician said she was permanently and totally disabled, the Panel affirmed. The case is Bain v. UTI Integrated Logistics.

In another case, the Panel had “little trouble” affirming a trial court finding of no permanent total disability, where three physicians placed impairment ratings of five percent or lower compared to the employee’s expert’s 30%, and only the latter placed restrictions. The employer also introduced surveillance video of the worker jogging in Hamad v. Real Time Staffing Servs.

As for permanent partial disability, the panel affirmed a lower court ruling that an employee overcame the presumption of correctness afforded to the rating of a physician from the Medical Impairment Rating Registry by clear and convincing evidence. Given that standard, this type of finding is relatively rare. The case is Adams v. Rich Prods. Corp.

Turning to a few medical causation cases, this is regularly disputed in occupational disease cases. In Butler v. Tenn. Mun. League Risk Mgmt. Pool, the employee claimed he became sick due to exposure to the aspergillus fungus from working in landfill trenches, while the employer said he was exposed at his farm. The Panel reversed the lower court finding of no causation, noting it was “strangely coincidental” that other landfill workers also became ill.

In Harlow v. Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, the Panel affirmed a trial court ruling that an employee overcame the presumption of correctness to an authorized treating physician’s causation opinion. Although both the IME and treating physicians only saw the injured worker once, the IME doctor spent more time with him and had more information available to him, including a detailed medical history about the alleged mechanism of injury.

In McKnight v. Hubbell Power Sys., the Panel affirmed a trial court order that an employer provide surgery recommended by the authorized treating physician more than ten years after the work incident, comparing his testimony with that of an IME physician and finding he refuted all contrary conclusions. The Panel also affirmed the lower court’s denial of a motion under Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-204(d)(9) to appoint a neutral physician with both parties splitting the cost. These motions don’t seem to be made often, nor are they widely granted.

The Panel affirmed a lower court decision declining to order an employer to authorize pain management in Brantley v. Brantley. The injured worker had an unsigned referral form, but the treating physician testified “unequivocally” that any pain he was having was unrelated to the work injury, there was no reason to send him to pain management, and he hadn’t made the referral.

The Panel reversed a grant of summary judgment involving the statute of limitations in Williams v. SWS, reminding that these types of cases “most often are factual in nature,” and “summary judgment should be entered cautiously[.]”

Finally, in another case presenting a defense — this time willful misconduct — the Panel engaged in a lengthy analysis of the Mitchell v. Fayetteville Pub. Utilities factors. The Panel found the trial court relied on inadmissible hearsay to find no bona fide enforcement of a safety rule and reversed that finding. But the Panel affirmed the finding that the employee did not violate the rule willfully, so it affirmed the trial court judgment. The case is Tenn. Clinical Schools v. Johns.

That’s it. I hope everyone has a safe and joyous 2020.

22 October 2018  (Event has ended)
20:00 - 22:30
Entrance fee:
Entrance is free, but please reserve your seat here. Only 150 seats available.

This Session we’ll have three guests talking about their work:

Thijs Biersteker is presenting his new installation Volverium at TAC during the DDW.  Today’s algorithms create information bubbles that narrows our view on the world. This art installation is meant to open us up again to a world of new perspectives.

Volverium transports you into the centre of a universe of new perspectives where your reality and virtual reality blend in analog ways. The experience plays with presence and out of body experience.

Dutch artist and innovator Thijs Biersteker creates interactive, techno poetic installations which explore the the growing gaps between humanity, technology, virtual and reality. He envisions a woven world where we, technology and nature, are at balance.

PanGenerator’s sound installation APPARATUM is also on display at TAC. This Polish studio creates amazing interactive installations. APPARATUM is inspired by the heritage of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio – one of the first studios in the world producing electroacoustic music. The installation draws musical and graphical inspiration from the “Symphony – electronic music” – composed by Bogusław Schaeffer.

And the amazing Jan Bajtlik  is a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Warsaw. Currently working for Hermès Paris designing scarves, textiles, ceramics, wallpapers, typography and window displays. He’ll give some insight in his work and process.
