The whole order of nature evinces a progressive march toward a higher life. (Helena P. Blavatsky)

Nature always springs to the surface and manages to show what she is. It is vain to stop or try to drive her back. She breaks through every obstacle, pushes forward, and at last makes for herself a way. (Nicolas Boileau)

(John Burroughs)

We come from the nature and we have to understand what it is, because we are conected to it and we are part of it. And if we destroy nature we destroy ourselves. (Edward Burtynsky)

Oriental thinking, and indeed all pre-industrial thinking, knows that nature may seem hard-hearted and her laws inexorable and often cruel, yet she herself is the very raw material you are working with, and of which you yourself are necessarily a part. You therefore always have to treat her as your friend, as someone with whom you must somehow keep on good terms, or else you and your works will be no good. She is after all your mother, not an enemy to be subdued, or a slave to be violated. (Michael Cardew)

The more we advance, the more we realize with Whistler that nature is never right. (John F. Carlson)

Nature admits no lie. (Thomas Carlyle)

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. (George Washington Carver)

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. (Willa Cather)

If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere. (Vincent van Gogh)

Nature suggests the mood, the painter interprets and records it. (Don Grieger)

To dwellers in a wood, almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature. (Thomas Hardy)

So long as painting deals with objective nature, it is an impure art, for recognizability precludes the highest aesthetic emotion. All painting, ancient or modern, moves us aesthetically only in so far as it possesses a force over and beyond its aspect. (Lawren Harris)

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. (Hermann Hesse)

Nature gets into our souls and opens doors to hidden parts of ourselves. (Pamela Heyda)

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price. (Napoleon Hill)

-The Desert Magazine: Beach Combing on the Desert...
The modern beach comber on the desert will find a greater variety of agate, jasper and other precious stones than can be obtained along the shoreline of any existing ocean.

Nature is harmony in discord. (Horace)

Everyone goes to the forest; some go for a walk to be inspired, and others go to cut down the trees. (Vladimir Horowitz)

I'm not interested in precisely illustrating animals and flowers but simply in using the natural world – the imagery of my surroundings... freely associating and juxtaposing images. (Carolyn Hoyle)

- The Summer Book...
Only farmers and summer guests walk on the moss. What they don't know - and it cannot be repeated too often - is that moss is terribly frail. Step on it once and it rises the next time it rains. The second time, it doesn't rise back up. And the third time you step on moss, it dies. (Tove Jansson)

-in 1864...
Landscape is the creation of the one God - his sensuous image and revelation, through the investigation of which, by science or its representation by art, men's hearts are lifted toward him. (James Jackson Jarves)

People mistakenly think that art is about nature, or about an artist's feelings about nature. It is instead a path of enlightenment and pleasure, one of many paths, where nature and the artist's feelings are merely raw material. (Wolf Kahn)

For the first time in my life the weather was not something that touched me, that caressed me, froze or sweated me, but became me. (Jack Kerouac)

In earlier days, even as a child, the beauty of landscapes was quite clear to me. A background for the soul's moods. Now dangerous moments occur when Nature tries to devour me; at such times I am annihilated, but at peace. This would be fine for old people but I... I am my life's debtor, for I have given promises... (Paul Klee)

Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion; let the artist be truly taciturn. (Paul Klee)

I dash out to the banks of the river... and find myself amongst the rushes and the reeds. I grind some pigment over all this and the wind makes their slender stalks bend and appliques them with precision and delicacy on to my canvas, which I thus offer to quivering nature: I obtain a vegetal mark. Then it starts to rain; a fine spring rain: I expose my canvas to the rain... and I have the mark of the rain! - a mark of an atmospheric event. (Yves Klein)

'Ready-mades' surround us in nature. Beauty, symmetry, and proportion are everywhere, usually pretty close to home. (Jackie Knott)

Looking at scenes of nature, for even a short while, can help us become more insightful, more creative, and more productive. (Maria Konnikova)

An abundance of some good things is perfectly compatible with the scarcity of others; that life is everywhere precarious, man everywhere small. (Joseph Wood Krutch)

Patterns, cycles, rhythms... nature has the ability to humble, simplify and connect at a level that goes beyond the physical and into the spiritual realm. (Judy Lalingo)

When the days become longer and there is more sunshine, the grass becomes fresh and, consequently, we feel very happy. On the other hand, in autumn, one leaf falls down and another leaf falls down. The beautiful plants become as if dead and we do not feel very happy. Why? I think it is because deep down our human nature likes construction, and does not like destruction. (Dalai Lama)

Many of the earth's habitats, animals, plants, insects and even micro-organisms that we know to be rare may not be known at all by future generations. We have the capability and the responsibility to act; we must do so before it is too late. (Dalai Lama)

We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing. (Georg Christoph Lichtenberg)

Deism is the belief that nature and God are one and the same thing. If you study nature, you're getting insights about God. (Bruce Lipton)

Thomson sought the wilderness, never seeking to tame it, but only to draw from it, its magic of tangle and season. (Arthur Lismer)

One cannot violate the promptings of one's nature without having that nature recoil upon itself. (Jack London)

No tears/ Dim the sweet look that Nature wears. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Many savage nations worship trees, and I really think my first feeling would be one of delight and interest rather than of surprise, if some day when I am alone in the woods one of the trees were to speak to me. (John Lubbock)

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver. (Martin Luther)

There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another. (Edouard Manet)

Today we are searching for things in nature that are hidden behind the veil of appearance... We look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature. (Franz Marc)

Nature has always been my main point of reference. As a child I was fascinated by landscapes... I want to walk into them... and I don't want to meet anybody in a landscape. (Queen Margrethe II)

Nature can put on a thrilling show. The stage is vast, the lighting is dramatic, the extras are innumerable, and the budget for special effects is absolutely unlimited. (Yann Martel)

-Painting Nature with a Free Spirit...
There is nothing new in nature, but its countless ingredients are eternally being shuffled into different combinations. There is a lesson in this for the artist, too. (Maxine Masterfield)

An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language. (Henri Matisse)

-Boy's Life

Trees! How ghastly! (Piet Mondrian)

Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation, still just an external foundation, of things...

My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it. (Claude Monet)

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her... I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers. (Claude Monet)

The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind. (Lewis Mumford)

Nature is not only what is visible to the eye – it also shows the inner images of the soul – the images on the back side of the eyes. (Edvard Munch)

-Thinks and Remarks by Bill Nye, Spring, 1886...
Spring comes with joyous laugh, and song, and sunshine, and the burnt sacrifice of the over-ripe boot and the hoary overshoe. The cowboy and the new milch cow carol their roundelay. So does the veteran hen. The common egg of commerce begins to come forth into the market at a price where it can be secured with a step-ladder, and all nature seems tickled. (Edgar Wilson Nye)

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable. I don't really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours. Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. (Mary Oliver)

It is the nature of stone to be satisfied. It is the nature of water to want to be somewhere else. (Mary Oliver)

Nature is God's, art is man's instrument. (Thomas Overbury)

Unlike a child in a totally urban environment, my friends and peer group were not only other children, but also wild and domesticated animals, plants of every sort, brooks and waterfalls, rocks and sand. (Freeman Patterson)

In Banff, the mountains are really close to your head... (Jan Peacock)

We are losing the wilderness not primarily through pollution or over population but... because of disinterest and neglect. We simply are unaware of what a treasure this is, and we have little interest or knowledge of the wilderness and its inhabitants. (Murray Phillips)

The beauty and wonders of nature are as alluring as the pursuit of Art, and made of me a landscape painter. (Walter J. Phillips)

Nature is beyond all teaching. (Latin proverb)

Nature is the great nurse for tired minds. Let her have her way with you, and all will be well. (Herbert Pryke)

Nature abhors a vacuum. (Francois Rabelais)

The trouble with nature is that it's full of interesting things that clamour for your attention, rather like a Property Room in a theatre. It's up to you to select the relevant items you need. (Ron Ranson)

The trouble is that nature and art are not the same thing at all. A glance at any photograph, no matter how well taken, will show you that nature is not in the picture-making business. (Ron Ranson)

A tree's a tree. How many more do you need to look at? (Ronald Reagan)

To set your easel up in front of the majesty of the untouched virgin wilderness is so humbling that it is hard to believe that you've been given the honor of trying to express your reaction to what you are witnessing. (William F. Reese)

You come to nature with all your theories, and she knocks them all flat. (Pierre-Auguste Renoir)

I have heard painters acknowledge, though in that acknowledgment no degradation of themselves was intended, that they could do better without nature than with her; or as they express themselves, 'that it only put them out.' (Sir Joshua Reynolds)

A painter must not only be of necessity an imitator of the works of nature... but he must be as necessarily an imitator of the works of other painters. This appears more humiliating, but is equally true; and no man can be an artist, whatever he may suppose, upon any other terms. (Sir Joshua Reynolds)

I mean the glorifying way we look at nature - nature, which in all its forms is always against us, because it knows no meaning, no pity, no sympathy, because it knows nothing and is absolutely mindless: the total antithesis of ourselves, absolutely inhuman. (Gerhard Richter)

I work with nature, although in completely new terms. For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces... an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles. (Bridget Riley)

To be in circumstances that are working upon us, that from time to time place us in front of great natural Things - that is all we need. (Rainer Maria Rilke)

-Letters to a Young Poet
If you trust in Nature, in the small Things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable; if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor, then everything will become easier for you. (Rainer Maria Rilke)

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature. (Auguste Rodin)

One day in the country / Is worth a month in town (Christina Rossetti)

Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care how much money a person makes. (Veronica Roth)

When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself, Yes indeed, all that belongs to me! (Henri Rousseau)

I'm exchanging molecules every 30 days with the natural world and in a spiritual sense I know I am a part of it and take my photographs from that emotional feeling within me, rather than from an emotional distance as a spectator. (Galen Rowell)

These days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message. (Galen Rowell)

We began as mineral. We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again. (Rumi)

The ocean takes care of each wave till it gets to shore. (Rumi)

I used to lie down on the grass and draw the blades as they grew - until every square foot of meadow, or mossy bank, became a possession to me. (John Ruskin)

Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery. (John Ruskin)

Mankind is divided into two classes: those who, being artificial, praise nature, and those who, being natural, praise art. (Bertrand Russell)

If we are alienated from nature, then we are alienated from ourselves. (Linda Saccoccio)

One might say that science itself, and civilization and art, are all about different orderings of the world – to contain it, and to make it in some sense intelligible, communicable. And bearable. (Oliver Sacks)

He who does not become familiar with nature through love will never know her. (Friedrich Von Schlegel)

-Wings of Life...
Once the bees disappear, so do we. It reminds us that we are a part of nature - and not separate from it. (Louis Schwartzberg)

Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives. (Albert Schweitzer)

Mindful of the vision and artistry of the masters, no artist can ever hope to out-compose nature. (Ian Semple)

I am nature. Nature is me. What I create is what I must create. That I create it is fundamental. I am both anonymous and very precious since I belong to all growth which is life. Therefore I must grow well. What I shape I must shape well. (Jack Shadbolt)

One touch of nature... makes all the world kin. (William Shakespeare)

Nature is the best and really the only real vocabulary that an artist can legitimately work with. (Nelson Shanks)

There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)

I think that the leaf of a tree, the meanest insect on which we trample, are in themselves arguments more conclusive than any which can be adduced that some vast intellect animates Infinity. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)

If you watch how nature deals with adversity, continually renewing itself, you can't help but learn. (Bernie S. Siegal)

The lake and the mountains have become my landscape, my real world. (Georges Simenon)

Nature is what you see plus what you think about it. (John Sloan)

No one can improve on nature's landscapes. I feel I've hit the mark when I've captured a balance between mood, look, and feel... when viewers say they sense the desert heat, or the chill of a mountain snowfall. (Matt Smith)

See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river and see all. (Socrates)

Whatsoever is contrary to nature is contrary to reason, and whatsoever is contrary to reason is absurd. (Baruch Spinoza)

Nature with its myriad lights and moods is the main source of all my work. (St-Gilles)

Whatever is natural admits of variety. (Madame de Stael)

The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. (Freya Stark)

Trees are literally a recording of light, growing, through photosynthesis, toward the source. We relate the silhouetted black tree bodies to the black of written information, the black ink on the pages of books through thousands of years of transcribed thought and creation. (Doug and Mike Starn)

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature. (Rudolf Steiner)

Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise! (Wallace Stevens)

The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening. (Wallace Stevens)

Standing up here on the hill away from all humans - seeing these Wonders taking place before one's eyes - so silently... watching the silence of Nature. No school - no church - is as good a teacher as the eye understandingly seeing what's before it. I believe this more firmly than ever. (Alfred Stieglitz)

-The Redwoods...
To be like these, straight, true and fine, / to make our world like theirs, a shrine; / Sink down, Oh, traveler, on your knees, / God stands before you in these trees. (Joseph B. Strauss)

-from Gitanjali...
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures... shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. (Rabindranath Tagore)

But who can paint / Like Nature? Can imagination boast, / Amid its gay creation, hues like hers? (James Thomson)

We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain... (Henry David Thoreau)

In wilderness is preservation of the world. (Henry David Thoreau)

We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea. (Paul Tillich)

As I look back on my fondness for the outdoors, and specifically the elements in nature that I find visually stimulating, I am surprised at how often the theme of dead trees arise. I guess it's that each one seems to have a story of its own, representing many years of living through everything that nature could throw at them. (Cory Trepanier)

All that is presented to us in nature exhibits the fecundity of the world and hence the beginning and the possibility of what can be, but also something that may not be. (Stewart Turcotte)

-Roughing It...
Change is the handmaiden Nature requires to do her miracles with. (Mark Twain)

Nature is not as you imagine her: / She's not a mold, nor yet a soulless mask - / She is made up of soul and freedom / She is made up of love and speech... (Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev)

I must go to Nature disarmed of perspective and stretch myself like a large transparent canvas upon her in the hope that, my submission being perfect, the imprint of a beautiful and useful truth would be taken. (John Updike)

One paints from nature not in order to copy, but to express feelings of grandeur. (Georges Vantongerloo)

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it. (Giorgio Vasari)

In our own time it has been seen... that simple children, roughly brought up in the wilderness, have begun to draw by themselves, impelled by their own natural genius, instructed solely by the example of these beautiful paintings and sculptures of Nature. (Giorgio Vasari)

To a man, ornithologists are tall, slender, and bearded so that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly trees, as they watch for birds. (Gore Vidal)

Nature has always had more force than education. (Voltaire)

If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don't need an enemy. (Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.)

The perfume of the flowers and of the bay tree are wafted on high, like incense. The birds sing sweet songs of praise to their Creator.

Nature is very rarely right, to such an extent even, that it might almost be said that nature is usually wrong... (James Abbott McNeill Whistler)

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. (Frank Lloyd Wright)

RMS innovate with high performance computing risk modelling solution

by Artemis on August 9, 2010

The world of risk modelling moves quickly, particularly due to advancements in computer technology. As more computer resources can be harnessed and made available to run risk models on the granularity and accuracy of resulting reports grows and the data returned to insurers and reinsurers becomes more reliable.

Risk Management Solutions (RMS) have announced a new leap forward for their risk modelling solutions as a result of them implementing a high performance computing solution. The new solution which they call Enterprise Grid Computing ‘allows computing resources to be used much more efficiently across the organization, with more flexible job and resource management and faster analysis run times providing higher productivity and deeper insight into modeled results‘.

This allows insurers and reinsurers to run more analytical cycles with higher quantities of data than ever before. RMS say this will give them greater insight into their portfolios and the ability to test exposure assumptions against their portfolios.

As risk modelling is critical to the risk transfer markets any advancement such as this will inevitably have knock on benefits for market participants. It’s becoming more and more important to investors in instruments such as catastrophe bonds to be able to feel confident in the risk modelling undertaken for a transaction. As risk modelling processes advance that level of confidence should grow.

Camagüey, Cuba - ''Entre cielo y tierra, Mireya Luis'', a biographical book on the former volleyball player from Camaguey, Cuba, will be launched in this central eastern city as part of the literary program for the celebration of the Culture Week.

The book, written by Oscar Sanchez, second launching of 'Vidas' collection by the Jose Martí publishing house, includes a set of stories and anecdotes that defined Luis' training and career.

The Olympic, World and Pan American champion stands out as one of the greatest athletes of all time in Cuba and the world. Luis was three time Olympic winner at Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, and Sidney 2000, with the so-called Morenas del Caribe (the Cuban women's volleyball team).

The Santa Cecilia Conference Center located in the heart of Camagüey, a city declared World Cultural Heritage, will be the scene for the meeting tomorrow, where the participants will be capable of knowing in detail about a life story,in which individuals create and reflect the social field, according to the author.

The volume was launched in Havana and Santiago de Cuba, as well as during the last Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro by the International Volleyball Federation.

The program includes the visit of the writer and the athlete to the 'Cerro Pelado' School for Sports Initiation, an institution that helped Luis to take her first steps in volleyball. She was also three time champion at World Cups with the Cuban National team.

Choosing the good Door Handles

By Ashish Pandey Subscribe to RSS | January 18th 2012 | Views:

Perhaps, you might not give enough emphasis to the door handles during renovations, but do not forget that this will be most commonly and frequently used thing in your home. Perhaps, a door handle is the only thing that is used by each and every person of the house and even the outsider. Though a small thing to appear in the entire project of your renovation, but still door handles can be important and can definitely not go unnoticed. So, what is the right way of choosing the most suitable door handles for your home?

Analyze the style

Do not be surprised if someone tells you that the door handles are also available in a wide range of styles, colors, designs and sizes. Yes, you can choose from the assortment, but what is more important is to choose according to your personal preference and style. You can choose the door handle as per the styling of the door and also according to the theme of the entire renovations. Make sure whatever handle you are choosing should fit in very suitably on the door.

Make sure it can be cleaned

Before choosing the door handle, it is important that you must consider the design of the handle. It is very important that the design should be chosen as per the convenience of cleaning it. Before buying the door handle you must ensure whether it can be cleaned easily or not. Untidy door handles will definitely spoil the appearance of your doors as well.

Consider people who use the doors

It is very important that you must keep the people in mind that will use the handles. For example, if the door handles are to be selected for the doors in the children’s room, you will have to choose the lever type that is not too difficult to open. Special door handles will be used for people suffering from arthritis or other ailments such as joints pain.

Consider whether you need locks or not

Almost all the styles of door handles will also include the locks. It is totally up to you whether you want the locks in all the handles or some of them or may be not even in the single one. Some people prefer the lock mechanism in all the doors of their home because it keeps the home safe, while others might not prefer the locks in all the doors.

Consider the handles that are already in use

You might also consider putting up your old door handles only. It can be possible for you to keep the style of the older handles only and thus you might consider sticking with the older style only.

More than anything else, you need to consider the budget in your mind because there are a lot of companies such as that can offer you these handles ranging from low to high. It will therefore totally depend on you whether you wish to use the low-budget handles for the doors or the expensive ones.

Uses of Compressed Air Foam System

By James Blee Subscribe to RSS | December 26th 2011 | Views:

Introduction of modern technology in every sphere of life has made our life easy and hassle-free. Proper application of modern technology enables us live a better and safe life. Compressed air foam system is one of the advancements in fire restriction. It generates compressed air foam through injection of compressed air into the foam solution which is tighter and denser than ordinary foam solutions..

Compressed air foam system is very much useful as it covers all sides of the fire attack simultaneously. It is a system whereby compressed air is entered into a water and foam solution to generate a highly efficient foam output. It forms a foam blanket which prevents oxygen from getting in contact with fuel. The air trapped within the bubble structure reduces the capacity of the fire to spread and excess formation of heat. It acts a chemical barrier to prevent continuation of fire. The system consists of a centrifugal pump, a water source, an air compressor, foam concentrate tanks, a mixing device and a control device to ascertain the proportionate mixture of concentrate, air and water. Compressed air foam system not only works better than water for firefighting, but also proves to be a standard water pumping system.

Compressed air foam system works well for rapid reduction of heat and also for creating a foam blanket used for protection during detection. This system proved to be a success in the introduction of modern technology in firefighting measures. The fire extinguisher proved to be an efficient method over time. This system has played a major role in this field. Nowadays it is known to be an outstanding method everywhere as taming the fire in time is very essential in order to save lives.

Is Indonesia ready to step up?

Indonesia is the largest economy of Asean, home to the Asean Secretariat and slated to occupy a position next to the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries in the next decade.

However, questions remain about how prepared Indonesia is to take on a larger role on the world stage.

A troubling sign came a few months ago when it said it was “not ready” for the Jakarta Composite Index to take its place with the stock markets of Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in a cross-trading platform that is slated to be operational by the end of this year.

The Indonesian government unveiled on Friday more details about the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MP3EI), which is designed to make Indonesia one of the world’s 12 largest economies by 2025. The plan shows a great deal of much needed investment in infrastructure but what about the infrastructure of the mindset. That is where the uncertainty about Indonesia’s suggested preeminence lies.

The old problems of bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption and overall insularity could well hinder the implementation of the master plan.

For example, a recent editorial in the Jakarta Post, protested regulations governing the degree of ownership allowed to foreign banks. The editorial concluded it’s “ high time for the government to amend the 1999 Law on Banking to fit in with the latest developments of national banks. We think the stipulation allowing foreign banks or investors to own up to 99 percent of a bank is too liberal now, given the substantial progress made by our banking industry over the past 10 years.”

The expansion of foreign banks came during the 1997-98 financial crisis when the Indonesian government was forced to nationalize almost all major private and state banks. Data indicate now that foreign ownership of Indonesia’s banking assets has increased to more than 45 per cent from less than 20 percent before the 1997 crisis.

Although the headline of the editorial was, “It is not xenophobia,” coupled with the above issues cited above it seems it will be a considerable time before Indonesia develops the openness and transparency to move up to a true leadership role on the world stage.

This year in Thailand-what next?

AseanAffairs   04 January 2011
By David Swartzentruber

It is commonplace in journalism to write two types of articles at the transition point between the year that has passed and the New Year. As this writer qualifies as an “old hand” in observing Thailand with a track record dating back 14 years, it is time take a shot at what may unfold in Thailand in 2011.

The first issue that can’t be answered is the health of Thailand’s beloved King Bhumibol, who is now 83 years old. He is the world's longest reigning monarch, but elaborate birthday celebrations in December failed to mask concern over his health. More

Give Millenials a break!

It’s Time to Give Millennials a Break (and some credit, too)

It’s time to give Millennials a break.

You can’t go a day without reading or hearing what “the problem with millennials” is.  We need to stop that.  Isn’t that just a version of “kids these days”? The same centuries old tired lament? Doesn’t that mean we are just old farts who have passed the buck and we haven’t figured out how to build a bridge with the next generation? And by ‘we’ I mean the Prequels- the Prequels to the Millennials being mainly Baby Boomers and Generation X (and yes, a word I have twisted for my own purposes). Continue reading

East Asians at Risk for Hepatitis

For whatever reasons, we don’t hear much about the health and well-being of Asian Americans much. Perhaps there is an impression that we are somehow more immune or less likely to get most diseases. However, new data show that among east Asian immigrants in new York City, one out of seven carries the hepatitis B virus:

The condition puts them at far greater risk than other Americans for deadly diseases like liver cancer and cirrhosis. Most of the people tested had no idea that they were infected, a fact that frustrates doctors who know that with proper screening and treatment, the disease can be controlled, if not cured. But three-quarters of the people in the study had no health insurance, and even those who did had trouble getting coverage for screening.

The study, led by researchers at New York University School of Medicine, found that 15 percent of east Asians in New York — as many as 100,000 people — are chronic hepatitis carriers, with the rate highest among immigrants from China. That infection rate is 35 times the rate found in the general population. The New York State cancer registry shows rates of liver cancer among Asian-Americans 6 to 10 times as high as for whites.

Because Hepatitis B is endemic in many Asian countries, growth in the number of Asian immigrants in New York and across the country has made the disease a broad, expensive, emerging health problem.

I thank the New York Times for helping to publicize this issue and I urge all Asian Americans, especially east Asian immigrants, to get tested as soon as possible. For a listing of free and confidential testing clinics in the New York City area, visit the NYC Dept. of Health website.

Estimates for Apple’s first fiscal 2013 quarter

I’ve postponed my estimates for the fourth calendar for a long time. The reason is that there have been conflicting data to deal with and I’ve been hoping for some clues to give clarity. Unfortunately, even though I waited, I have not received many clues. Here are the challenges we have to deal with in this quarter:

  1. Management gave very low guidance for the quarter’s earnings and sales. Normally this should not be a concern since the long-term pattern has been for them to “sandbag” significantly. For example last year’s fourth quarter was guided at $9.3 EPS while the company delivered $13.87, a 49% “beat” to their guidance. However Q2 and Q3 beats were only 7% and 13% respectively and if we assume a similar number (10%) for Q4 we get about $13/share which would be a year-on-year decline in earnings (down from $13.9). This has not happened for many, many years. Management explained this through a lengthy set of reasons including a shorter quarter (13 weeks vs. 14 weeks), new product launches, currency fluctuations, deferrals and unfavorable component pricing. Then again, similar explanations were used in the past with no reflection in what actually happened.
  2. Management also launched a large number of new products. This normally leads to a surge in sales. In fact, 80% of revenues would come from a new portfolio of products. Having such a broad launch quarter into a holiday, would normally imply huge growth. Not only is this a critical launch quarter for many products but they also rolled out the iPhone to more markets more quickly than ever: 100 countries in three months. The broad roll-out implies a steeper ramp in production and thus more volumes. This would also contradict the lowered expectations from the CFO. However…

Translator’s Profile: Alyson Waters

Q&A with Alyson Waters, translator from the French and managing editor of Yale French Studies.

Alyson Waters’s translations from the French include works by Louis Aragon, René Belletto, Eric Chevillard, and Albert Cossery. She is the 2012 winner of the French-American Translation Award for her translation of Chevillard’s Prehistoric Times. Waters has received a National Endowment for the Arts Translation Fellowship, a PEN Translation Fund grant, and residency grants from the Centre National du Livre, the Villa Gillet, and the Banff International Literary Translation Centre. She teaches literary translation at New York University and Columbia University and is the managing editor of Yale French Studies. She lives in Brooklyn.

Asymptote: Describe your current/most recent project. Why is it cool? What should we know about it?

Alyson Waters: My current project is a translation of Jean Giono’s Un roi sans divertissement for New York Review Books. The title comes from one of Pascal’s Pensées:  “A king without diversion is miserable; and therefore we see a great number of people constantly about the king whose sole task it is to amuse and avert the thought of the king from himself.” It’s an amazing book, a kind of existential mystery/roman noir. It has a very complicated structure, moving back and forth from the time of the telling of the story to the time of the events, and told in several narrative voices in an almost oral style. There’s a great passage in the book (among many) where the main narrator (or Giono?) inserts in the middle of his story the following:

“Obviously there exists a system of references comparable, for example, to the economic understanding of the world and in which Langlois’ blood and Bergues’ blood have the same value as the blood of Marie Chazottes, Ravanel, and Delphin-Jules. But there exists, encasing the first, another system of references in which Abraham and Isaac move logically, one following the other, toward Mount Moriah; in which the obsidian knives of the priests of Quetzalcoatl logically drive deep into selected hearts. And we are informed of this by beauty. One cannot live in a world where one believes that the exquisite elegance of the guinea fowl’s plumage is pointless. This is just an aside. I wanted to say it, and I did.” READ MORE…

Sullivan, Barrett, Ferruzzi and Heaney Earn A-10 Cross Country Honors

Release: 09/16/2013
Print RSS
Courtesy: Atlantic 10 Conference

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – La Salle’s Zach Sullivan and Saint Joseph’s Elizabeth Barrett were named the Atlantic 10 Conference’s Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Performers of the Week, respectively, the league announced on Monday. Also honored for their performances were La Salle’s Francis Ferruzzi, who was named the Men’s Rookie of the Week, and Fordham’s Shanna Heaney, who was named the Women’s Rookie of the Week. Awards were based off performances from September 9-15.

Sullivan, a senior from Pasadena, Md., led the way for the Explorers at this past weekend’s Friends Big 5 Invitational hosted by Temple University with a time of 18:52.22 (6K) en route to a third-place overall finish. As a team, the Explorers placed four runners in the top 10 on the way to a team victory over Villanova, Penn, Saint Joseph’s and Temple.

Barrett, a senior from Jenkintown, Pa., won the Friends Big 5 Invitational on Friday afternoon with a time of 14:09.58 (4K). Barrett never trailed during the race, only extending her lead throughout each of her four laps to eventually finish over 19 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. The win comes two weekends after she led the Hawks with a fourth-place finish in the season-opening TCNJ Blue/Gold Classic 5k.

Ferruzzi turned in a 12th place finish with time of 19:06.12 (6K) at the Friends Big 5 Invitational. The Willow Grove, Pa., native was the fifth Explorer to cross the finish line and has now recorded consecutive top 15 finishes to begin his collegiate career.

Heaney, a freshman from Hampton Bays, N.Y., broke the course record this past weekend at the C.W. Post Invitational hosted by Long Island University, with a time of 18:09.22. Heaney’s winning performance broke the previous course record set in 2010 by Fordham’s Kerri Gallagher.

"It is one of those children's books which to reopen in after life is like revisiting some sunny old garden, some favorite haunt of childhood, where every nook and cranny seems famliar and calls up a thousand pleasant memories." -- Anne Gilchrist

"Not a mere prose version of the plays for juvenile amusement but a critical introduction to the study of Shakespeare in the finest sense."

Food, Inc.

Food, Inc.

Directed by Robert Kenner. (2009, PG, 94 min.)

REVIEWED By Kimberley Jones, Fri., June 26, 2009

Why wait for 2012? If you’re hankering for a taste of the apocalypse, the opening sequence of this eye-opening, stomach-queasing doc has plenty to go on – witness menacing superimpositions on a bleak, blighted landscape – and the hits just keep on coming. Doomsday opening aside, Food, Inc. largely forgoes bombast (you’ll find more graphic depictions of a kill floor in Richard Linklater’s narrative adaptation of Fast Food Nation), but you don’t need the pictures to get the drift here, which is, more or less, that the American food industry is pretty much fucked. With asides from food activist and The Omnivore’s Dilemma author Michael Pollan (who narrates) and Fast Food Nation scribe Eric Schlosser (who co-produced), Food, Inc. soberly and methodically provides a big-picture primer on where your food’s been coming from, which is mostly from the same four or five megacorporations that iron-fist rule over American farmers. Don’t spend much time in the fast-food drive-through? Hold the self-congratulations: Food, Inc. serves up plenty of chilling data about one litigation-slap-happy company’s soybean monopoly. One imagines Food, Inc. could have been artlessly done and still been effective – the information within is that vital – but Kenner has produced an engaging, cohesive narrative that informs but never scolds; it even heartbreaks, as in his explorations of one poverty- and diabetes-ravaged family’s struggle to eat healthfully and another mother’s congressional battle, sparked by her son’s death from tainted meat. (Mark Adler’s near-constant and rather hysterical score, however, is not so even-keeled.) Food, Inc. maintains a nothing-but-the-facts (you supply the indignation) stance until the end, in an unnecessary call-to-arms coda that nudges the film into agitprop territory (much as distributor Participant Media did with the equally indispensable An Inconvenient Truth). Frankly, the filmmakers aren’t giving the audience enough credit: We get it. We are what we eat. And what we've been eating has been engineered, assembly-lined, and/or brutalized. How's that for an appetite suppressant? (See last week's Screens feature, "A Recipe for Revolution," for an interview with Robert Kenner.)
