B.Azbayar: Street art is a stage to express my views

Freelance artist B.Azbayar (A.K.A Mazaalai) is an artist specializing in street art. He runs the “Organic Color” studio and manages the “Photo Message” interest group, which aims to deliver messages to the public through photographs and to bring about changes in society. This group has around 1,200 members. He recently answered some questions about street art

-Why are you interested in street art?
-When I was in secondary school I was listening to hip hop music, and began drawing graffiti then became interested in street art. Then I enrolled in the Institute of Fine Arts and studied traditional painting in 2006. I decided I want to deliver my views and voice to people. Street art allows us to do that. Street art is a stage to express my views. I create types of stencil art. People understand it directly.
-What is the difference between wall painting and other categories of street art?
-Street art has many categories such as stencil, graffiti and flash mob. All are expressions of people’s views. It is powerful category of art, after understanding its essence and meaning. Nowadays the essence of street art is being lost. I was drawing graffiti before but now I am critical of it. There are many skilled youths who consider graffiti as an art and express their views, but sometimes the artists pay too much attention to the colors and the general look, and they omit important factors like creativity and expressing information and ideas to the viewers. Unlike art in a gallery, anyone can edit and change graffiti, or even destroy it. It is open to people because no one has to pay to see it.
-When did street art first develop in Mongolia?
-There were a number of categories of street art during the communist era. Wall paintings, sculptures and monuments of Lenin by state honored and folk painter D.Amgalan are examples of street art. “Capitalism skipper” a painting by D.Amgalan is a famous example of street art. Paintings of D.Amgalan influenced me a lot. I am proud of the founders of street art in Mongolia. Modern street art developed intensively from the year 2000 onwards. The founder of the “Blue Sun” center of modern art Yo.Dalkh-Ochir initiated “public art”, a category of modern street art in Mongolia. He collected trash such as cigarette boxes and tissue boxes and opened a small shop. People bought it. He did not make any creation with the trash. People who didn’t have cigarette boxes could buy them from there. His aim was to express through this work that there is no useless thing for humans.
-Do people criticize you for creating this type of art?
-I hear a very few criticisms because I do my work at the professional level. I initiated the “Mogolia-11” program. Within the framework of this program, I drew portraits of Manlaibaatar and Damdinsuren on columns of the Central Palace of Culture with stencils. People complained saying, “You messed up the Central Palace of Culture”. I chose that place purposely because Central Palace of Culture is very crowded. Back then people were arguing about whether Mongolia got independence in 1911 or 1921. This was my inspiration. People said that D.Sukhbaatar began a revolution in 1921. Actually, Manlaibaatar, Damdinsuren, Chin Van Khanddorj and D.Chjagdarjav also began nationalist movements, earlier, in 1911. People forget that. So I expressed my views on the subject through stencil paintings. But my painting was erased. One specific thing about street art is that it is possible to remove, in just one hour or one day, paintings that I spent lot of time and labor making.
-How do you decide where you will draw your paintings?
-When walking down the street I think about where to draw. If you draw wherever you want without planning and thinking, the sense of the street will be missed. Nowadays, teenagers are doing graffiti everywhere, without understanding the sense of street art. This has diminished the appearance of UB. People think that street art messes up walls and buildings, like vandalism. Therefore, specialists must give an example to young generations through doing the right thing in the right place.
-Famous people’s portraits, with quotations from them, are being drawn lately. What is the purpose of this activity in your opinion?
-One such portrait is of the late S.Zorig. He gave us democracy. If there were no democratic society, we would not be permitted to draw on the walls as we do today. That’s why S.Zorig is a memorable person for street artists. Mongolian street artists jointly organized a festival in April last year. I drew a large portrait of S.Zorig.
-Where is one of your most visible creations?
-The graffiti drawn on the walls along Sun Road. My brothers and I jointly wrote the word “Art” on that wall.
-Do interest groups jointly organize campaigns with a purpose of delivering a message to society?
-There are many interest groups in Mongolia, such as women’s groups, including “S united”, “Red eggs” and “Yoton”; and other interest groups such as “Road” and “Street 11”. I think an artist needs to contribute to society. So groups will organize several works for the purpose of giving a message to society. My “Mongolia 11” program had the same purpose.
-What is main difficulty in creating street art?
-Street art has very few difficulties, apart from the need to create art in a very short time. There is no paint for street art in Mongolia. We usually draw at night if we don’t have permission to create art in a particular place. Most areas don’t permit street art and graffiti. It is possible on Sun Road and Dam. It is difficult sometimes. But drawing secretly at night gives us satisfaction (laughing). Art is a freethinking field, it has no rules, that’s why we participate in it with our interest, ability and wishes.
The first form of graffiti was in the catacombs of Rome. The first known example of “modern style” graffiti survives in ancient Greece. Researchers believe it is an advertisement for prostitution. The more modern graffiti is derived from subway stations in New York City. Rock and roll graffiti is a significant sub-genre. A famous piece of graffiti from the 20th century was the inscription in the London subway that read, “Clapton is God”.

Neurocritical Care

We are here when you need us.

For patients who are confronting serious injury, severe symptoms, complex surgery or a challenging diagnosis, a short hospital stay and quick recovery are not always possible. They and their families can rest assured, however, that the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute has the most advanced resources, technology and expertise available anywhere in the world. These resources, provided 24 hours a day, are nowhere more evident than in Neurocritical Care.

What is Neurocritical Care?

Neurocritical care is the intensive care of patients with life-threatening neurological illnesses, including massive stroke, bleeding in and around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage), brain tumors, brain trauma, severe seizures, nerve and muscle diseases (such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barre Syndrome) and spinal cord disorders. Many patients requiring neurocritical care are comatose or paralyzed; they also may have suffered injuries in other parts of the body. Neurocritical care units specialize in managing the unique needs of these patients.

The ultimate goal of neurocritical care is to resuscitate and support the acutely ill neurological patient, minimize secondary neurological injury and medical complications, and facilitate the patient’s transition to a recovery environment.

What is a Neurointensivist?

The medical subspecialty of neurological intensive care is devoted to the comprehensive care of the critically ill neurological patient. Like other intensivists, the neurointensivist actively cares for his or her patients in the ICU, coordinating the patients’ neurological and medical management. Neurological intensive care is unique in its concern with the relationship between the brain and other organ systems in the setting of critical illness. The neurointensivist assumes responsibility for various elements of ICU care that might otherwise be provided by subspecialists in cardiology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, pulmonary medicine and neurology.

Expertise in neurological intensive care also involves procedural skills and proficiency with standard forms of ICU monitoring (i.e., cardiovascular hemodynamic monitoring and mechanical ventilation) as well as specialized forms of neurological monitoring (i.e., ICP, CPP, brain oxygen, EEG monitoring) and interventions (i.e., hypertensive hypervolemic therapy, therapeutic hypothermia).

An Englishman who lives abroad, so cannot vote in the General Election, but is eligible to stand as a candidate, has placed a bet with bookmakers William Hill that he will poll the lowest total of votes of any candidate standing in the 650 constituencies in an effort to cover the cost of his election deposit.
James Franklyn Jackson, 71, lives in Carcasonne, France and told William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe:
'Because I have worked abroad in such places as the Falkland Islands for more than 15 years, I am by law, prohibited from voting in any UK election or referendum. There are many thousands of us who, although British citizens, UK passport holders and paying income tax to the UK government, have lost our vote and any right of representation, although we are directly affected by any law the UK makes.
There has been a 10 minute rule Bill presented to parliament by Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (MP the Cotswolds) aimed at giving us a vote for life (as in most European countries) but with the election looming, the Bill will not progress.
Although not a resident and not able to vote, surprisingly, I am still eligible to stand for parliament.
Consequently, I looked for a high profile constituency to stand for parliament campaigning for 'Votes for Britons abroad' but is standing without an official Party name.
I selected the one with London Mayor, Boris Johnson-Uxbridge and South Ruislip. I easily obtained my 10 required sponsors by door to door canvassing in the area, completed the necessary forms and paid my £500 fee.'
James has placed a bet of £20 at odds of 50/1 with Hills to poll the fewest votes of any General Election candidate, which could win him his £1000 - enough to pay off his deposit and travelling costs.
'Although there are considerable numbers of independent candidates standing, it seems likely that with several of them taking on Boris, there will be fewer votes available to each candidate in Uxbridge than in most other constituencies', said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

For Me, for Christmas

Yes for me, or for my couch.
I wanted to make a lap quilt for Christmas but for once I realised there wasn't time for that and decided on a cushion.
It came together very quick and easy. I started with the middle block with the ornament, you could find it HERE, and then just added fabric to it.
On the back it's closed with a zipper.
I'm very pleased with it and am linking to Ms Midge

About Lucia!

Lucia is traditionally celebrated in Sweden on the 13th of December.
Originally it coincided with the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere when it was on the 13th. Early popular belief believed it was a dangerous night, with the animals being able to talk. All Christmas preparations sholuld be finished before this day and was celebrated by eating and drinking some extra. Even the animals was fed a bit more than usual.

The tradition with Lucia as we celebrate it today started around early 1900.
Lucia, with candles in her hair, and her followers singing comes with light when it's the darkest in the year usually offering the people lussekatter and gingerbread biscuits.
Lussekatter is a form of a bun with saffron in it, only eaten around Lucia and Christmas. The buns could be made in a lot of different variations where the lussekatt is the most common.

I know Lucia was on Friday but I never got around to do a post.
I didn't celebrate very much but as usual I found Lucia and her little helper in the cabinet to take out, they will stay with us over the Christmas.
The candle I light every morning, it starts on the 1st of December until the 24th of December. Have to keep an eye on it so it's not lit for to long , wouldn't want to miss out on the next day.
On Friday I also baked Lussekatter and today we had a delicious afternoon tea.

FNWF - December

My Friday Night With Friends I spent on my couch. You could go and see what all the others were doing if you visit Cheryll at Gone Stitchin'.
First I finished these socks for me.
At this time of December I always could use some extra hours in the day. It's not until the beginning of this month I get all the ideas for Christmas presents all made by me.
One year I made 11 hats/beanis for my children, niece and  nephew and their boy/girlfriends.
This year I'm a bit late for that much, but I will make some mittens to put under the tree at least.
So on Friday I crocheted the green mittens, the smaller ones I knitted a few days ago. I do hope they will be used.

This weekend they could certainly have been needed. The weather has been terrible with a storm and a bit of snow. Brrr!

SSCS - parcel received

Today I got my parcel from Michelle in New Zealand!
I'm overwhelmed, not one but four gifts for Christmas day and a pretty card and a very cute ornament, a mitten with a snowman, that will hang in the tree when I put it up on the 23rd.
Thank you so much Michelle!

It's time to sign up for FNWF again, pop over to Cheryll's to sign up you too!
Because who doesn't need to get a few things finished this month!

1st Sunday in advent!

Today has been the first of advent and the first candle has been lit. As always our red pig comes to stay for a month with us, and for every Sunday we light one more of the four candles!
He has lost his tail and some paint but we still love him and the time to come!

Quite some time ago I received a parcel from Peg for being picked in the OPAM drawing one month. Just look at all the goodies she sent me, I felt really spoilt!
A beautiful charm pack, a kit for making a pear pincushion and a card of her own, all wrapped in the green fabric. Thank you so very much, Peg!

Diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome

Toggle: English / Spanish

Diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) is a complication of type 2 diabetes. It involves extremely high blood sugar (glucose) level without the presence of ketones.

Alternative Names

HHS; Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma; Nonketotic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC); Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (HONK); Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic state; Diabetes - hyperosmolar

HHS is a condition of:

  • Extremely high blood sugar (glucose) level
  • Extreme lack of water (dehydration)
  • Decreased alertness or consciousness (in many cases)

Buildup of ketones in the body (ketoacidosis) may also occur. But it is unusual and is often mild compared with diabetic ketoacidosis.

HHS is more often seen in people with type 2 diabetes who don't have their diabetes under control. It may also occur in those who have not been diagnosed with diabetes. The condition may be brought on by:

  • Infection
  • Other illness, such as heart attack or stroke
  • Medicines that decrease the effect of insulin in the body
  • Medicines or conditions that increase fluid loss

Normally, the kidneys try to make up for a high glucose level in the blood by allowing the extra glucose to leave the body in the urine. But this also causes the body to lose water. If you do not drink enough water, or you drink fluids that contain sugar and keep eating foods with carbohydrates, the kidneys may become overwhelmed. When this occurs, they are no longer able to get rid of the extra glucose. As a result, the glucose level in your blood can become very high.

The loss of water also makes the blood more concentrated than normal. This is called hyperosmolarity. It is a condition in which the blood has a high concentration of salt (sodium), glucose, and other substances. This draws the water out of the body's other organs, including the brain.

Risk factors include:

  • A stressful event such as infection, , , or recent surgery
  • Heart failure
  • Impaired thirst
  • Limited access to water (especially in people with dementia or who are bedbound)
  • Older age
  • Poor kidney function
  • Poor management of diabetes, not following the treatment plan as directed
  • Stopping insulin or other medicines that lower glucose level

Symptoms may include any of the following:

  • Increased thirst and urination (at the beginning of the syndrome)
  • Feeling weak
  • Nausea
  • Weight loss
  • Dry mouth, dry tongue
  • Fever
  • Seizures
  • Confusion
  • Coma

Symptoms may get worse over days or weeks.

Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:

  • Loss of feeling or function of muscles
  • Problems with movement
  • Speech impairment

Exams and Tests

The health care provider will examine you and ask about your symptoms and medical history. The exam may show that you have:

  • Extreme dehydration
  • Fever higher than 100.4°F (38°C)
  • Increased heart rate
  • Low systolic blood pressure

Test that may be done include:

Evaluation for possible causes may include:

At the start of treatment, the goal is to correct the water loss. This will improve the blood pressure, urine output, and circulation. Blood sugar will also decrease.

Fluids and potassium will be given through a vein (intravenously). This must be done carefully. High glucose level is treated with insulin given through a vein.

Outlook (Prognosis)

People who develop HHS are often already ill. If not treated right away, seizures, coma, or death may result.

Possible Complications

Untreated, HHS may lead to any of the following:

  • Shock
  • Blood clot formation
  • Brain swelling (cerebral edema)
  • Increased blood acid level (lactic acidosis)

When to Contact a Medical Professional

This condition is a medical emergency. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you develop symptoms of HHS.

Controlling type 2 diabetes and recognizing the early signs of dehydration and infection can help prevent HHS.

Going to explore china for a few posts.  Released in early 90s 1993 seems to be popular date for a lot of them there are a some good documentation on some sets but a few are mysteries cards that are numbered to 10,000 just don't pop up at all and complete sets that are supposed to exist are never seen.  I will piece together a few items I have found out in next few posts and see if a clearer picture comes about.

For those unfamiliar with them R&N china produced porcelain cards, plates, mugs sometimes under different names or co names.  For today I will concentrate on the small 3-4 card sets that are pretty easy to checklist but for some reason nobody has.

From 1995-1999 R&N China produced sets for both Topps and Upper Deck which in it self is rather odd that one of them didn't hold exclusive rights to the concept.  The Signature Series consisted of 3-4 porcelain cards in a felt lined wood holder.  Rather limited production for each set most were around 500 range but featured some of the biggest names in sports.

The Mantle series is interesting in that they were signed only 18 days before he passed away so they are some of the last signatures he ever did.

It appears late in 1996 Upper Deck got involved and produced basketball and football cards under the same name and time frame as the mostly topps cards but upped the production into the 1000 range.  But even at that they are still rather hard to come by and carry a big price tag.

Below is checklist of the sets in PDF format.

A Former ‘Big Brother 15’ Employee Claims That The Reality Show Is Rigged

Senior Writer
08.06.13 22 Comments

(via Getty Image)

Another day, another claim that a reality show is rigged. Except instead of my claim that Fox was too scared of my raw masculinity to let me on Temptation Island, this one involves that show with all the racists, Big Brother 15, and the large sum of money that goes to the winner. According to the folks at Gossiping Pens, a former CBS employee using the fake name of “Hailey Jones” took to the Big Brother Facebook page back in July to accuse one of the show’s producers of rigging this season’s action in favor of contestant Amanda Zuckerman (above right).

In fact, Jones claims that executive producer Allison Grodner is the culprit behind this alleged rigging, as she not only made it so her friend Zuckerman could win, but she also planted Elissa Slater to seem like the show’s favorite to win.

Hailey Jones

This is Zuckerman, by the way, in case you’re like me and don’t watch reality TV because you’re too busy doing pushups and attending football games at the Home Depot.

(via Getty Image)

Both Amanda and Elissa are still in the game, as are the show’s absurd racists, Aaryn and GinaMarie, so it’s hard to tell if this is just some casual, thought-out fan trolling or if Zuckerman is really in line to be handed $500,000 for simply knowing someone important. Either way, I hope it ends with enraged grizzly bears being locked in the house.

Emma Watson to star as Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast'

Wednesday July 20, 2011

Producer Denise Di Novi has recently announced that Harry Potter golden girl Emma Watson will be starring in an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast

Emma, who has also been working on films The Perks of Being a Wallflower and My Week With Marilyn, will star as Belle in her newest project.

Pan's Labrynth and Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro will direct.

Like his past work, this film will probably have a dark and twisted feel to it.

This style seems to suit Emma's vision as a role model:

"I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff.

"It's all bull***t. I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I'd have to kick some ass first.

"That would have a lot of people terrified."

The 21-year-old also recently revealed to Vogue magazine that she feels her character in Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, has become a part of her.

Now that she is working on other projects she admitted: "I'm literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress."

Prince William and Duchess Kate enjoy whisky tasting in Scotland

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, indulged in a tipple as they rounded off their trip to Scotland.

The royal couple were visiting The Famous Grouse Distillery on Thursday afternoon when they were offered, and gladly accepted, a dram of whisky.

Kate, 32, opted for the Snow Goose, which was described as having a lighter flavour and being "more for the ladies" by master blender Gordon Motion.

Prince William and Kate sampled whisky in Scotland

After the Duchess took a sip, she commented that the drink was "very nice" before offering the glass to her husband.

"What was that one?" asked William, who had tried some of the Alpha Black.

"The snow... the girly one," laughed Kate, to which her husband smiled and said, "No, you drink it."

Royal watchers had been wondering when the parents of ten-month-old Prince George would be adding to their brood, but it looked like Kate, who is known for being a moderate drinker, quashed pregnancy rumours as she took part in the whisky tasting.

The royal couple were also given a tour of the Perthshire distillery by general manager Stuart Cassells where they learnt about Scotland's national drink. William tried his hand at hammering the cork into a bottle of Glenturret Single Malt whisky.

William and Kate had received a warm welcome upon their arrival, as they were greeted by a bagpiper and crowds waving flags. Manager Stuart called it an "absolute pleasure" to welcome Their Royal Highnesses.

"With such strong links to this area through their Scottish titles, we couldn't think of anyone more perfectly placed to open our new-look visitor areas," said Stuart. "All the staff here at the experience won't be forgetting this day anytime soon."

After their visit, William and Kate finished off their busy day of engagements with a visit to the village of Forteviot. Based in the foothills of the Highlands, it was once the capital of Scotland and is now the site of an archaeological dig.

British Airways CEO Willie Walsh passed up a $1.5 million bonus this year after the botched opening in March of the ailrine's huge Heathrow terminal.
Despite the rapid rise in average CEO pay in Europe, 2005 figures from Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute indicate that top executives remain somewhat closer in pay to ordinary workers than do their U.S. counterparts. The ratio of average CEO pay to that of factory workers in various countries:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker are just two of many European politicians expressing alarm at the soaring pay of top executives. Some of the others:

French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has branded pay for leaders of poorly performing companies "perfectly scandalous" and warned of legislation if companies don't set executive pay to reflect performance.
Dutch Finance Minister Wouter Bos has proposed a 30% "fat cat" tax increase on big bonuses and severance packages. It follows a public outcry last year over the sale of ABN Amro, a Dutch banking institution, and the huge windfalls to top executives who engineered the sale.
In London, Callum McCarthy, chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority that oversees banks, has told the British Bankers' Association after the subprime loan crisis and credit crunch that bonuses should be restructured to factor in a loan's long-term risk.
Kurt Beck, chairman of the Social Democrats, who share power in Germany's governing coalition, has called for companies to impose an annual pay cap of $1.6 million for executives or face higher corporate taxes.
"All sense of proportion has gone out the window with management pay in recent years," Beck said recently.

By Jeffrey Stinson

LONDON — As losses pile up on balance sheets and stock prices drop, Europe is threatening to rein in U.S.-size compensation for its top corporate executives.

From Paris to Amsterdam to Berlin, finance ministers, politicians and government watchdogs are talking of curbing soaring executive pay, bonuses or golden parachutes for CEOs who depart with big severance packages.

Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who chairs meetings of eurozone finance ministers, has called rising corporate pay a "social scourge" and wants higher taxes on what he calls "golden goodbyes." Fifteen nations use the euro as their currency.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is urging debate on European-wide pay limits when France takes over the European Union's rotating executive presidency Tuesday.

Behind the threats is growing public and shareholder ire with multimillion-dollar compensation packages that are starting to rival American CEO pay at the same time European economies and financial markets are sagging.

Europe's financial industry has posted huge write-downs from investment losses in the U.S. subprime housing loans market. Stock prices in many sectors have dropped: On Europe's biggest exchange, London's FTSE 100 stock index is down 12% since January. And consumers face rising prices, as the inflation rate across Europe has surpassed 3% on higher energy and food costs.

Unhappy stockholders

At banking giant HSBC's annual meeting here last month, many shareholders howled before approving a compensation package for the bank's six top executives of $240 million, or 12 times their annual salaries, if they hit targets the next three years. The protest came after the bank in March reported write-downs of $17.2 billion, mostly from bad U.S. housing loans last year, although overall profit was up. "People see these (CEO compensation) numbers that they think are ridiculous for companies that have underperformed," says Cliff Weight, director of British consulting firm MM&K, which analyzes executive compensation. "Some of these figures are egregious. It just isn't comprehensible to the man in the street."

Many in the Netherlands objected to the windfall reaped by top executives who sold ABN Amro, a Dutch banking institution, to a group of European banks. Rijkman Groenink, ABN chairman, netted about $34 million upon retiring after the sale. Five others made $17 million to $26 million. The Dutch also were outraged when Jan Bennink, CEO of Numico, left last year with about $125 million in options, shares and bonuses after selling the baby food company to French yogurt giant Danone. Bennink later said he'd give his bonuses to his children and charity.

Germans raised eyebrows when top executives of Daimler got a 45% salary increase in 2007, the year the German carmaker sold its money-losing Chrysler division.

Against the backdrop of growing public resentment, Willie Walsh, CEO at British Airways, this year passed up a $1.5 million bonus due him for meeting an earnings target. Walsh was paying penance for the botched opening in March of the big new BA Terminal 5 at London Heathrow.

Total compensation for CEOs of big British companies with market capitalizations in excess of $20 billion rose 33% last year to a median of about $9.2 million, according to an MM&K analysis last month.

In the past decade, MM&K found, the average compensation package for a CEO of a British FTSE 100 company has risen 287%. British workers' pay rose just 47%. An average private-sector worker makes about $44,500 a year, according to Britain's Office for National Statistics.

Leaders of France's 40 biggest companies saw a 58% rise in compensation to an average $6.2 million last year, French business magazine L'Expansion found last month. Combined, the magazine reported, the CEOs pocketed a record $250 million, vs. an inflation-adjusted $158 million in 2006. That makes it hard to ask ordinary workers to hold down wage demands, Luxembourg's Juncker told reporters at last month's meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Brussels. "People won't understand" why they shouldn't get big pay raises, too, to help make up for higher food and energy prices, he said.

Yet, higher wages contribute to inflation, which hit a record 3.6% last month in the eurozone. That's prompted members of the European Central Bank to say they'll raise the zone's 4% lending rate next month to combat it.

'Europe is catching up'

CEOs in Europe have traditionally earned less than their U.S. counterparts, says Vicente Cuñat, who analyzes CEO compensation at the London School of Economics. But in the past 15 years, he says, "Europe is catching up."

French CEOs made 56% of what American CEOs did in 2005, according to the latest figures compiled by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. German and British CEOs made 55%, and Italians, 53%.

In the USA, the median compensation package (half were paid more and half less) rose to $8.4 million last year for CEOs of 410 companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, the Associated Press reported earlier in June. That's a rise of $280,000, or 3.5%, in a year. The 10 best-paid made more than $500 million last year, AP found.

Cuñat says the rise in pay in Europe is driven by several factors, including the growth of multinational corporations, growing worldwide competition for top executives and growing power by CEOs to extract compensation from their boards: "The CEO has always been able to leverage higher pay in the United States as the size of (his or her) business goes up. Europe is catching up in this, too."

Wayne Guay, who studies executive compensation worldwide at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, warns that European governments would be making a mistake in capping CEO pay.

If governments limit what executives at public corporations make, he says, they're inviting them to convert to privately held firms or move their headquarters.

In the Netherlands, the top executives of such firms as the ING banking group have threatened to pull up stakes if compensation is capped or more heavily taxed. Other big firms such as Royal Dutch Shell, Philips and Unilever have warned that a clampdown would ruin the Netherlands' competitiveness and drive away top managers.

That's one reason Sarkozy is looking at limits that would prevent companies from moving to another nation.

As in the USA, Guay says, CEO pay becomes a hot-button issue when the economy isn't doing well. It cools when times get better. Over time, he says, public outcries have rarely had a big effect on either side of the Atlantic. "It really hasn't altered the path of pay over the last 15 years," Guay says. "We still see pay rising. I think it will continue."

The Weaver Stick

(WEBMASTERS NOTE: The following was written years ago by the famous strength historian David Willoughby.   This is an exert from an article he wrote, titled, Feats of Strength with Levers.  Willoughby’s writings about the Weaver Stick provided the inspiration to adopt the Weaver Stick as an official USAWA lift. The purpose of reprinting this story is to provide the lead-in for my story tomorrow on the Weaver Stick, which for sure will create a Weaver Stick controversy.)

by David Willoughby

Drawing of John Grimek performing the Weaver Stick. This photo is from David Willoughby's book, The Super Athletes.

A direct and practical means of developing and strengthening the abductor muscles of the forearm is simply to swing a sledgehammer, preferably one that is sufficiently small and light to be gripped and swung with one hand. Such a movement is “practical,” because the use of the hammer, in one way or another, is something that has been going on for thousands of years and is still an essential element in many manual occupations. And so long as one is endeavoring to develop muscular strength, why use odd, artificial movements that rarely if ever occur in everyday life, when there are other movements, or exercises, that employ the muscles in a natural, practical manner? Away back in June, 1908, at the Crystal Palace in London, Arthur Lancaster swung a blacksmith’s 8-pound hammer for TWELVE HOURS without stopping. He was said to have “. . . the strongest wrist and forearm of any man alive.”

Many a feat of so-called “wrist strength” – actually, strength of the abductor muscles of the forearm (those that draw the hand toward the thumb side) – has been performed using either a standard, commercial sledgehammer, or “sledge,” or a long wooden bar, like a broom handle, with a light weight attached to the far end of it. Unfortunately, in most of the feats of this kind that have been reported, it has been difficult or impossible for one reason or another, to evaluate the merit of the performance. In some of the reports even the weight of the sledgehammer is left unmentioned; and rarely if ever does the performer state the exact length of the handle and how far his hand was away from the weight when he lifted it. Of course, without these essential items of information, no reliable comparison of the feat can be made with others of its kind.

Some years ago, in order to obviate these difficulties, my friend and co-enthusiast, George Weaver, who was then living in Brooklyn, designed a leverage-lifting bar of specified dimensions, with which he tested the “wrist strength” of many strongmen and weight trainees who were living in that area. In due course this bar became known as a “Weaver Stick.” This was a round stick (such as a mop handle), about nine-tenths of an inch in diameter, cut to the exact length of 41 inches. Here is Weaver’s description of the details of his stick:

Half an inch from one end, cut a notch. EXACTLY 36 inches from the CENTER of this notch, circle the stick with a line. Get two metal right-angles at a hardware store, and screw them into the top and bottom sides of the stick so that the rear edges of the right-angles come exactly to the circled line. The top side of the stick is the side where the notch is cut. lf one angle has once screw hole, and the other angle has two screw holes, the screws will not conflict. You can shave the bottom of the stick a little with a knife at these places, to make a flatter base for the angle. This leaves you with a “handle” just 5½ inches long, which you can tape to a thickness that suits your hand and affords a good grip.

It is important that the following rules be observed. The stick must be lifted approximately parallel to the floor, and not with the weighted end tilted downward. Above all, the stick must be lifted straight up from the chair; there must be no rocking of the stick on the chair before lifting. The lifting hand and arm must remain free of the body. And the heel of the hand must remain on TOP of the stick. If the hand twists under the stick, the lift is no good and cannot be allowed. The stick, when lifted, need not be held for any length of time; but it must be clearly lifted free of the chair (an inch is enough) and held in control (one second is enough).

This lift may also be made by turning the back on the weight and grasping the stick with the little finger toward the weight, instead of with the thumb toward the weight. More weight can be lifted in this manner. When lifting with the back toward the weight, the body may be bent forward as the lift is made.

The accompanying drawing of John Grimek shows the position to be assumed in making a Forward Lift on the Weaver Stick.

Many years before George Weaver thought up his leverage lifting stick, Paul Von Boeckmann, a professional strongman and physical instructor in New York City, by practice became exceptionally capable at feats of “wrist strength,” and used to win bets by raising weights on the end (straw) of an ordinary broom. He, like Weaver, saw that it was essential to establish a fixed distance on the stick between the center of the weight and the front (thumb-side) of the lifting hand. By doing this he eventually made a record by lifting 11½ pounds at a distance of 36 inches in front of his grip. This was equivalent to raising the same amount in a Forward Lift on a regulation Weaver Stick. At the age of 62 (in 1933), von Boeckmann could still raise 9½ pounds in this manner.

Weaver’s tests with his stick revealed a remarkable range in ability among the various persons who lifted on it. In this lift (in the Forward style) the “average” man would seem capable of about 4 pounds. Yet Warren Travis, the one-time world champion in back and harness lifting, who in addition could pick up over 100 pounds in a one-hand pinch lift, could only raise 4¼ pounds on the Weaver Stick. The best lift performed in the Forward style was recorded by recorded by Weaver was one of 10 pounds with the left hand by John Grimek. Later, in York, Pa., Grimek raised 11¾ pounds with his right hand on a stick that was 2” shorter than a regulation Weaver Stick. This would have made his lift, if it had been made on a 42” stick, equivalent to about an even 11 pounds. In any event, Grimek’s lift would appear to be the best on record with the exception of that made long ago by Paul von Boeckmann. But it would be interesting to know how much weight could be raised in this style by such old-time champions of grip and forearm strength as Louis Cyr, Horace Barre, Apollon (Louis Uni), John Marx and Hermann Goerner.

Of more recent weightmen, Mac Batchelor and Douglas Hepburn should have made good showings in this test. However, any guesswork in this direction could be highly unreliable. One would suppose that thick wrists and tight wrist ligaments would be of great assistance in this lift; yet actually some strongmen who possessed these attributes came out very poorly on the Weaver Stick, while others, who had more slender wrists and limber wrist joints, did unexpectedly well. I myself had, and still have, very limber wrist joints (which used to handicap me in heavy one-hand overhead lifts), yet I managed to raise correctly 7 pounds on a standard Weaver Stick, at a time when I was well past my prime.

In view of the fact that John Grimek was capable of raising approximately 11 pounds on a Weaver Stick in the Forward Lift Style, while weighing about 195 pounds and having a wrist of 7¾” and a forearm of 13¾”, it would certainly seem that one of the present-day superheavyweight powerlifters, with correspondingly larger wrists and forearms, should be able to similarly raise at least 12 pounds. However, unless and until such a lift is made, Grimek must be credited with being the contemporary record-holder in this test of forearm strength. Indeed, the nearest lifts to the 10 pounds recorded for Grimek’s LEFT- HAND record of 10 pounds were right-hand lifts of 8 pounds performed by John Davis and Steve Stanko, who were then at the peak of their Olympic lifting efficiency.

In the Backward Lift on a Weaver Stick, a considerably heavier poundage is possible than in the more commonly performed Forward Lift style. In the Backward style the highest possible poundage recorded by Weaver was 12½ pounds. This was accomplished by John Protasel, a heavyweight of New York City. However, in order to be equal in merit to a Forward Lift of 11 pounds, as performed by John Grimek, a Backward Lift (which employs the stronger adductor muscles of the forearm) should be somewhere between 14½ and 15½ pounds.

Now on View!
The UMFA’s Collections staff has produced a mini-exhibition showcasing the department’s re-cataloguing project of the Museum’s rolled textile collection. Beginning September 17, the Highlights Wall, located in the UMFA lobby, will feature two textiles from the collection along with an informational video about the project and the Museum’s important preventative preservation work. Almost 300 textiles are being unrolled from their storage mounts and photographed, catalogued, cleaned, and re-housed using new archival quality materials. Collections Manager Jennifer Ortiz is leading the project, which utilizes the help of docents and volunteers as well as other Collections staff. Highlights from this collection include the Judge Willis W. Ritter collection of Navajo saddle blankets as well as selections from the non-Western textile collection.

Martha Wilson: Staging the Self
On view through November 10, 2013
Martha Wilson's career, spanning forty years, encapsulates the contestations inherent in feminist and socially engaged practices. In her work and throughout her life, Wilson has explored how identity and positioning are not just self-defined or projected, but also negotiated. The complex nature of her work encompasses her activities as an artist, creating conceptually-based performances, videos, and photo-text compositions since the early 1970s; her position as the founder and director of the non-profit space Franklin Furnace; and her collaboration with other women to form the group, DISBAND among many other things. Wilson's attitude to collaboration and openness to constantly redefining both personal and collective identities make her a central figure with which to collaborate on producing this exhibition that explores current approaches toward feminism, activism, and collaborative practice.

Martha Wilson: Staging the Self is a traveling exhibition organized and circulated by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. Guest curator for the exhibition is Peter Dykhuis. The exhibition, tour, and catalogue are made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, The Cowles Charitable Trust, the ICI Board of Trustees, and ICI Benefactors Barbara and John Robinson.

Under Pressure: Contemporary Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
On view through January 5, 2014
This exhibition presents selections from the largest collection of contemporary prints in the United States. Spanning the past five decades, it features works by thirty-nine artists from Jasper Johns and Sol LeWitt to Damien Hirst, Kiki Smith, and Kara Walker. Under Pressure charts an array of artistic and social concerns, from minimalism to pop and conceptual art, and more recent works addressing race, gender, and identity.

salt 8: Shigeyuki Kihara
On view through January 5, 2014
salt 8 will feature the work of Shigeyuki Kihara, a prominent artist based in New Zealand. Born in 1975 in Samoa to a Buddhist Japanese father and a Christian Samoan mother, Kihara investigates the complexities of cultural identity, colonialism, representation, gender roles, and spirituality through performance, photography, and video. In the UMFA's salt gallery, Kihara will present large-scale looping projections of her 2012 videos Galu Afi and Siva in Motion. Inspired by the traditional Samoan dance Taualuga, both videos are lamentations for the loss caused by the 2009 tsunami as well as poetic meditations on Samoa's colonial past and future climate change. Adjacent to the saltgallery, Kihara will stage a photographic intervention with our Pacific Island collection.

Lawrence Weiner:
On view through mid-2014
A fascinating work of language sculpture by groundbreaking contemporary artist Lawrence Weiner is now on view in the UMFA G.W. Anderson Family Great Hall. Purchased by the Museum in 2011 with funds from the Phyllis Cannon Wattis Endowment for 20th Century Art, BENT TO A STRAIGHT AND NARROW AT A POINT OF PASSAGE (1976) is an important addition to the UMFA's permanent collection of contemporary art and represents a canonical moment in art history.

Exploring Sustainability
On view through July 28, 2014
Exploring Sustainability is an exhibition of new projects that explore how principles of ecological sustainability and affiliated design strategies are applied to creative thinking and to the design process. During Sustainable Design Practice, the University of Utah studio art course in which this work was created, students gained an overview of the environmental impacts of design and production practices as well as the processes and methods associated with more sustainable approaches. The projects created over the course of the spring 2013 semester are inspired examples of how students integrated sustainable design into their own creative process. The exhibition is intended to stimulate further dialogue among the university and local communities about issues related to sustainability.
