Vincent van Gogh was a major Post-Impressionist Dutch painter whose work had a huge impact and influence on 20th century art. His paintings were noted for their rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color. Although he was not famous in his lifetime, Vincent van Gogh is now considered to be one of the greatest artists of his time and his paintings sell for millions of dollars.

Key Facts & Information
- Vincent van Gogh was born in Zundert, Netherlands on March 30, 1853. He had two brothers and three sisters, and although his father and grandfather were ministers, other family members did work in the art world.
- He was around 27 when he finally decided to devote his life to art. Before this, he had many different jobs. He was a teacher in London, a minister, he worked in a bookstore, an art gallery, and also worked as a missionary.
- He learned to draw using pencils and charcoal sticks. Sometimes he would also use watercolors. Over time he came to paint using oil paints. One of his favorite subjects was to draw poor, hard working people.
- His early paintings were often sad and somber. He achieved this by using a lot of dark colors like brown and dark green, and by focusing on poor people. One of his most famous early paintings was The Potato Eaters, which was a very dark and somber painting of a poor peasant family eating potatoes for their dinner.
- Most of what we know about van Gogh comes from letters that he wrote to his brother, Theo. He was very close to his younger brother, who worked in an art gallery in Paris. Theo supported Vincent's art career by sending him money and encouraging him. Theo also tried to sell Vincent's paintings, but at the time nobody wanted to buy them.
- Theo introduced Vincent to Impressionism. He wrote to let Vincent know about this new style of painting in Paris, and in 1886, Vincent van Gogh moved to Paris to learn from these new painters. As a result, his art became influenced by painters including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Camille Pissarro.
- During his time in Paris, van Gogh started to use brighter colors. His brushwork also changed and became more broken as he painted subjects found in the streets of Paris, as well as the countryside.
- He painted over 20 self portraits during his time in Paris. He became very interested in painting portraits of people and turned to self portraits when he couldn't find any subjects to paint.
- Van Gogh moved to Arles, France in 1888. During this time he set up an artist's commune and invited artist Paul Gauguin to join him.
- In Arles, van Gogh began to paint with even more intensity and emotion. The vibrant colors of Arles inspired him and his paintings became more vibrant and bright. He would often paint directly to the canvas from the tubes, leaving it thick with rough brush strokes that would sometimes take weeks to dry.
- He became fully obsessed with art. He painted hundreds of pieces of art during his time in Arles. Sometimes he would paint masterpieces in a single day.
- Vincent van Gogh cut off his own ear. After an argument with Paul Gauguin, van Gogh cut off his own ear with a razor and presented it to a woman, named Rachel, to "keep this object carefully". Doctors told his brother Theo that Vincent would live, and on January 7, 1889, van Gogh was released from hospital.
- In 1889, Vincent van Gogh committed himself to Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This happened because the people of Arles signed a petition to say that he was dangerous. On May 8, 1889 he began to paint in the hospital grounds and was invited to exhibit his paintings in Brussels later that year, in November. He sent six of his paintings, including Irises and Starry Night.
- On July 27, 1890, Vincent van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a pistol. The bullet didn't kill him and he was found bleeding in his room. His brother Theo came to be by his side and they spent a couple of days together talking. After Theo took him home, van Gogh died in his brother's arms on July 29, 1890.
- Van Gogh's brother, Theo, died six months later. He was already suffering from syphilis and he was weakened by Vincent's death. He died in a Dutch asylum and was eventually buried in Auvers cemetery next to his brother.
- Today, several of van Gogh's paintings rank among the most expensive in the world. Irises, which was painted during his time in the asylum, sold for a record $53.9 million, and Portrait of Dr. Gachet, a portrait of the doctor who cared for him during the final months of his life, was painted in June 1890 and sold for $82.5 million in 1990.
- During his lifetime, Vincent van Gogh completed over 2,100 works. These include 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, sketches, and drawings.

Tampa REIA on January 9, 2020 with Larry Harbolt on Land Trusts & Jason Pinkerton on Systems & AutomationPosted on January 6, 2020 by

Are you one of those investors who has a target the size of Florida on your back because you own properties in your own name? Do you want to be a target for every trip and fall person that's looking to sue you for your hard-earned money?
When you own property in your own name, anyone can go to the courthouse and easily find every single property you own. They can even figure out how much equity you have. Many of these lawsuits are what are known as nuisance suits.
One thing you quickly need to learn is how the Land Trust works and how this one simple document can help protect the properties you have acquired or plan to acquire, with ease and without great expense to you.
The Land Trust will keep your name out of the public eye. On Thursday, January 9th at your next Tampa REIA Meeting at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL, I will show you how easy it is to protect yourself from lawsuit happy people. Here is some of what you will learn…
- What Is a Land Trust and What It Does to Help Make You Invisible and Protect You?
- How the Land Trust Keeps What You Own Out of the Public View and Private.
- How the Land Trust Can Allow You to Own an Unlimited Number of Properties without Anyone Having a Clue Who the Owner Is.
- How to Remove the Target from Your Back to Foil Those Looking for Easy Money They Don't Deserve.
- How to Keep Anyone Trying to Sue You Paying Their Attorney for Many Months Running into Dead-Ends That Force Them to Quickly Decide If It Is Worth the Cost and Rethink Their Strategies!
- Why Owning a Property in a Land Trust May Be Better Than Owning It In a Corporation or Limited Liability Company?
- How to Use the Land Trust to Sell Real Estate So You Will Never Have to Foreclose If the Buyer Defaults.
You may have noticed that no matter where you go, no matter what newspaper or news source you use, all you hear about today is how more and more people are being sued and are being awarded huge sums of money from jury's of their peers because some ridiculous thing happened that upset or hurt them.
Have you also noticed all of the court shows on television today are all sending a clear message that if someone makes you unhappy, sue them! They encourage undeserving people to take away from a person that made you unhappy, someone who worked hard to acquire a better lifestyle so they can have a better and more prosperous lifestyle without working for what they get.
Suing people has become the new income generating tool many lazy and impatient people are using today to create their wealth instead of working for the money like you and I do.
The old saying… "don't wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait" is a wise statement. But owning real estate in your own name is not a wise thing to do and can be devastating and a potential problem for you and your family if not done correctly.
If you don't already have the real estate you own in separate Land Trusts, or if you are planning to buy real estate, the Land Trust is the tool you need. The time to protect the real estate assets you have is NOW!
Be sure RSVP NOW and join me at next Tampa REIA on Thursday, January 9th at Tampa REIA from 5PM to 9PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL where I will show you how easy it is to protect yourself from this happening to you. I hope to see you all there!
As always, Tampa REIA Members can attend our Tampa REIA Main Meeting event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door. Be sure to bring your business cards and flyers and join us for an evening of real estate deals, vendors, networking, education and fun! See you there!

The Origins of the US Army's Korean Comfort Women
By Choi Kilsung, Professor at University of East Asia, Professor Emeritus at Hiroshima University
Author profile: http://www.sdh-fact.com/auther/choi-kilsung
During the Korean War, the soldiers of the United Nations were a "peacekeeping force",
and we thought of them as guardian angels protecting our democracy from communist rule.
And yet, in my own home village, some truly dreadful acts of sexual violence against
women were perpetrated by the US-led UN Army that we Koreans believed was our ally.
Could it be that human beings are reduced to the level of beasts in times of war? By this
point in time it is no longer possible to verify just how widespread such sexual assaults
were. In my village, where Confucian ethical traditions were strong, brothels had been
forbidden, but under the strain of war and the fear of rapes, the residents had little choice but to accept prostitution.
This is the story of the US Army's comfort women, a story which neither Japan, Korea nor international society can ignore when discussing the comfort women problem. However, mention of this topic has long been considered taboo within South Korea. The book "Troublesome Korea," published in Japanese by Sankosha, included a dialogue between myself and Oh Seon-hwa which took place in 1997. I mentioned that the UN Army had engaged in mass rape in my home village, which resorted to prostitution in order to defend itself from further acts of rape. The attention we brought to the issue was not at all well received in South Korea. Indeed, the Korean media, including the TV network MBC, subjected us to relentless criticism.

BOYLSTON REOPENS: While a few stores remain closed due to damage from last week's Boston Marathon bombings, for the most part Boylston Street is getting back to business. Lord & Taylor, Eastern Mountain Sports and Marlo Marketing are among the fashion-related businesses that reopened Wednesday. Marathon Sports, the site of the first explosion, and The Tannery remain shuttered while repairs are being made. Pedestrians are now allowed to walk all along Boylston Street, Mayor Thomas Menino has instituted free parking on the street through the weekend and the subway has resumed making stops at Copley.
Marlo Fogelman, founder of Marlo Marketing, is looking into the prospect of having a block party to help the hotels, restaurants and stores affected by the blasts. While there is talk of a Back Bay Association-led initiative to try to rev up sales, the group is now focused on helping the displaced get up and running again, a BBA spokeswoman said.

Looking for a fabulous ocean-view pad with plenty of room to party for up to 17 guests? The abundance of indoor and outdoor spaces – not to mention two swimming pools and six generous bedrooms – make Villa LuWih the perfect choice for several families or groups of friends looking to spread out with both social 'us' and private 'me' space.
Pererenan Beach in Canggu on Bali's southwestern coast is famous for its rolling surf – framed to perfection through walls of glass on all three floors of Villa LuWih. Sunsets don't get better than from the upper level glass-fronted swimming pool or the decked sitting room with doors flung open to the view. And they're pretty spectacular from the main pool below, the garden bar, living room… even the state-of-the-art media room with it 60-inch TV.
Six ensuite bedrooms are spread across the three levels, delivering luxury, privacy and the rare choice of grouping families together in separate parts of the villa. And throughout, glass-fronted rooms can be opened fully for tropical living heat as a contrast to air-conditioned cool.
Matching the luxurious surroundings is a team of staff at the ready to satisfy every whim, be it a caipirina cocktail at the bar or a five-course feast prepared by the villa's chef (refreshingly, groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%++ handling fee).
Luxury, style in spades and stunning ocean views… Villa LuWih has it all.
July 3rd, 2022 - July 9th, 2022"Thank you to the amazing Villa Luwih team.This was the perfect place to bring three families together. We were looked after wonderfully, and the villa is located in a great position. (Although scooters very useful). We look forward to coming back."

From booking to planning and staying here, it has been stress free without a doubt. The villa is stunning, the photos do it no justice, 100% cleaned everyday. The best part is the number of bathrooms, no one had to share - you can imagine what it would be like for 6 women sharing 2 bathrooms. The staff was on hand whenever we needed them and offered genuine assistance at every greeting. It was one less thing to worry about having meals prepared for us as needed. We didn't get to enjoy the pools as much as have liked but the little time we did get, they were superb. I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Luwih to anyone I know planning to visit Bali in the future, again and again and again.

The staff were always willing to play and interact with the children which makes this villa a great place to bring children and enjoy a family holiday. This is definitely a place we will recommend to others and hope to be back in the future. Thanks for helping us make wonderful memories with our family and friends."

Thank you for the lovely memories."
- TG K, Singapore
September 11th, 2015 - September 15th, 2015"Thank you to all the beautiful staff at Villa Luwih in making our holiday just perfect. A group of 6 couples had the pleasure of staying at Villa Luwih and could not have been happier. We arrived to a most delicious dinner, which was preorganised and just continued to enjoy the relaxation and enjoyment of the staff and surroundings. The Villa is large enough and has so many different areas that 12 people were never crowding each other. Not knowing the exact location of the Villa, we were pleasantly surprised to find it was only a small 5 min scooter ride the Echo Beach, or a brisk walk over rice fields :). The beautiful staff at Villa Luwih (which I wont name in case I forget anyone) could not do enough to make this trip enjoyable. If you are looking for an amazing Villa with all the luxuries - well this is it. PS - we had so much fun either downstairs in the Bale or upstairs in the Lounge area listening to music, swimming and having a few beverages. Thanks guys, until next time :)"
- Toni G, Australia
July 25th, 2015 - August 1st, 2015"Our group of 4 families were all very pleased with staying at Villa Luwih for our Bali holiday. The property was beautiful and spacious. Great communal areas and plenty of rooms to retreat to so that we did not feel like we were all over each other. The staff were wonderful and looked after us amazingly. Would highly recommend this villa."
- Lee K, Australia
July 27th, 2014 - August 15th, 2014"Well laid-out villa in great location. Staff were wonderful and the food truly exceptional. View of the sea from the top floor was impressive albeit there is not a direct route to the beach itself. "
- Michael B, Hong Kong
June 13th, 2014 - June 17th, 2014"Best part of this villa is undoubtedly the staffs, what a wonderful team! Oh yes, and it comes with a fantastic chef!"
- Alice W, Singapore
May 26th, 2014 - June 2nd, 2014"We recently stayed at Villa Luwhi as a group of 8 adults and 8 children. The staff were so friendly and more than accommodating and professional. This is a beautiful villa with a gorgeous layout."
- Pip Dawson,
April 4th, 2014 - April 10th, 2014"I really relaxed all the way I stayed in Villa. I really need to appreciate staffs who were with smiling faces from start and end of day which help customers to feel comfortable to take service. Also especially cook who cooked us what ever we asked and with spicy as we Indians would like to eat like that. Manager who guided us all the way we stayed and stood beside us to assist us any time we needed. I want to come back again, the villa is luxurious and staff are hired according to that which satisfy customers who stay in villa. The feed back is from all of our 13 members group who stayed in this period."
- Chandra Mohan L, Singapore
March 21st, 2014 - March 23rd, 2014"An excellent choice for our 25th year high school reunion! 12 of us made Villa Luwih our home for 3 days and we all had a wonderful experience. The amenities at the villa were great. Bright, very clean, with comfortable beds and sofas. Cooling pools for those hot Bali afternoons and good air conditioning. Modern AV and entertainment and fast WiFi providing support for all our gadgetry (and we had a lot). We had the villa arrange a BBQ dinner for us and they really pulled out all the stops! al fresco dining by the pool with beautiful lights and decorations put up. Great food too. Most of us preferred this meal to the fancy restaurant dinner we had on the next night. Extra special mention must be made to all the staff especially our 3 lovely lady butlers. Never overly intrusive and always smiling and pleasant. Great service. The provision of a car and driver at no extra cost is a huge plus point and makes the secluded location a lot less of a problem. The 4 meals we had at the villa cost less that our fancy restaurant meal. Everything is genuinely charged at cost and all receipts are provided. The massage service that comes to the villa is also very reasonable."
- Wei Jen Ng, Malaysia
March 14th, 2014 - March 19th, 2014"Lovely villa, the staff and food were fantastic !!!!"
- Mr. T T,
February 5th, 2014 - February 12th, 2014"Very nice villa with great staff. Made the cook is a genius. Local specialties, Asian or western dishes, just name it and he'll cook it!"
- Mark Buehler, Switzerland
November 29th, 2013 - December 1st, 2013"For a compact villa, Luwih offers a lot - three floors, two swimming pools, two living/entertainment rooms and a lot of bedrooms great for big groups or even 2-3 families. There were no nearby establishments or villas which can distract or disturb us from our stay. We saw surfers riding the waves on Pererenan beach which is a short distance away, and the sunset from the beach offered a nice view. The staff (mostly female especially Ayu) were exceptionally nice and assisted us with our needs. Would love to come and stay again!"

We've all seen our fair share of futuristic gadgets and concepts in the past few years, but none is as promising and intriguing as Duo, the mirror computer.Duo: A Computer in a Mirror Click To Tweet If you ever thought it would be cool to be able to control your home using voice commands as soon as you've walked through the front door, just like Batman does with its Batcomputer, then you'll be as excited as everyone else at the thought of Duo. Simply uploaded on the Internet without any fanfares, Duo is a mirror with touchscreen and voice recognizing capabilities that is able to respond to all your enquiries and requests, whenever you make them.
First of all, the mirror has a 27-inch 1080p touchscreen that has a five-point multi-touch technology. It puts this in use through the Applet Bar, which is pretty much a taskbar that contains all the downloaded apps located in the upper part of the screen. Previews of those apps are available while minimized, and users can simply pull the apps down in order to open them. According to the official website, Duo only weighs approximately 8 pounds, while the separate computer box, which is really tiny, weighs one pound.
The reflective surface is actually a 0.25" two-way mirror, coated with anti-fingerprint treatment, while the backside is currently made of ABS plastic, but this is subject to change until the official release. Duo will also come with a built-in microphone and speaker, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability, a Duo Core chip onboard and several native apps such as Duo Music, Duo News, and Duo App Store.
Many may think that the idea is not that creative or futuristic, as, at its base, Duo is simply a large tablet with a really well-developed virtual assistant. If we're completely sincere, that's not extremely far from the truth, but it's not the specs that matter.
As shown in the tech demo video and the presentation video, Duo is capable of a wide range of responses and actions, such as turning off the lights in your house, showing you whoever's at the door through the intercom, controlling temperature, showing you online tutorials, which restaurant's closest to you and many other things. These were just a few features showcased in the videos, but we can think of various other possible interactions that would make the Duo a life-changer.The best thing about Duo is the fact that it will rely on third-party developers to create more apps, which will lead to more available actions from the virtual assistant it offers. People who plan to develop for the Duo are able to apply for an SDK version of Duo and HomeOS from the official website, which they should receive access to in June if they are selected. They will also be able to integrate various APIs into Home OS and the virtual assistant, as the tech demo showed with its examples of Spotify, GIPHY, Instagram, and YouTube being integrated and available for voice control.
Albert, the virtual assistant offered by Duo is certainly not an original idea, it's widely improved here, as users will be able to customize every single detail about their assistants, from the name, accent, and voice to the sarcasm levels due to the "Personality Packs" feature. As shown in the concept video, users will be able to save and access multiple personality packs, making it possible for every person in a household to have its own, personal assistant.
The first 1000 units sold will only cost $399, after which the retail price will be $500. According to the official website, the first batch of pre-orders is expected to be shipped in October 2017, so if you want your Duo as fast and cheap as possible, it's recommended that you sign up for their newsletter.

Reality Check - By Katy St. Clair
It is this spontaneity that holds the SF-based cable-access show Reality Check in place. That and gratuitous shots of really big titties. The show combines on-the-spot band interviews with kooky commentary and drunken this and that. Everything is edited together into a quick pastiche of bawdy low-budgethood, complete with porno stars, Wes Craven, Joey Ramone, Ronnie James Dio, and even Erin Gray from Buck Rogers. Its silly, sometimes genuinely wild, and dedicated to promoting local bands.
Behind the scenes of Reality Check are four guys who really like Kiss. Everyone [involved] has to love Kiss," says Ace Annese, one of its creators. "Kiss made a band that they would've wanted to see. We pattern ourselves after that credo. We have created the TV show that we always wanted to see" Founding Reality Check dude Hugh (or "Huge," as the ladies call him) first had the idea for the show back in '91. He was working at the video department of the Fairmont Hotel when he noticed that the mainstream media wasn't paying attention to the people protesting Operation Desert Storm.
Taking matters into his own hands, he pulled out his Hi8 videocamera and dubbed the project "Reality Check." From there he took it to the next obvious level, adding rock bands, midgets, and strippers. Now the show airs in SF and LA, and on Berkeley's Channel 25 on Saturday night at 11:30. The Reality Check radio show runs in Oakland on 93.7 from 10 to midnight on Tuesdays.
In order to get material for the show, the motley crew bumrushes award shows, concerts, and parties, camera in tow, catching the famous and not-so-famous in a candor that can only come across when someone is waving a tiny Hi8 at you instead of a Betacam. "Hugh is the main camera guy," says Ace, "but he offers commentary. Almost like a Greek Chorus." Then there are the women, or "Reality Chicks," who are usually provided by Ace's other job, a strip joint called the New Century Theater. Co creator Dragon Dave showed up later in the game with a lot of triple-X industry connections, adding more silicone to their wall-to-wall tit shots. "It's certainly gratuitous," admits Ace, "but its not done in a disrespectful way. We have a tongue-in-cheek element of fun in it."
They also have an attitude, with egos to match, but they never seem jerky. All in all, they're just a band of fellas who can't believe how lucky they are to be doing what they are doing. Danny Shipman, the chief GBG (girl band geek) of the crew, will talk to you and laugh pleasantly, but be prepared to find his eyes flittering down to your bosoms and then back up to your face at least ten times during the normal course of conversation. Looking something like a doe-eyed hescher meets .38 Special, he attacks each episode as if it were his first; as if each band were Kiss; as if each woman who presses his face into her she-teats were a pleasant anomaly never before experienced. Hugh is the sweetest, with kind eyes and a Silicon Valley look, of sorts. Ace is a hipster Ichabod Crane: long and slim with animal-print vestments. And Dragon Dave? Well, Dave looks like a guy who could hook you up with the triple-X industry.
Overall, Reality Check attempts to journal underground culture. "We try to be on the cutting edge, to be the first," says Ace. "We just went to the Wondercon Comic Convention in Oakland. We interviewed Julie Newmar, Gary Berghoff (Radar from MASH), and people on Star Trek and X-Files. Then at the last Bammies at the Kaiser we interviewed Sammy Hagar, Huey Lewis, and Koby Dick from Papa Roach. 'Thank God I'm with friends now,' he told us. 'No more assholes from Channel 4!' I've known him since before their record deal, but they still appreciate us because we gave them exposure before anyone else. The Donnas, Korn, Nashville Pussy -- they have all been on way before anyone else was doing anything about them."
This is the main thrust, pun intended, of Reality Check: They really help promote bands and musicians. "If [our show] benefits the scene, then it was worth it," concludes Ace.

@meganzimring was one of the first new people I met when I was considering moving to LA .
She welcomed me into to her home to host a documentary screening for my storytelling project @soulsofsociety.
Even though we didn't know each other I felt an immediate connectedness because she was so open and hospitable.
As we became better friends I got to see how powerful she is and how devoted to her path she is. She leads people through soul breakthrough sessions and helps them get more deeply in touch with themselves through cosmic astrology.
In this episode of the @howtobeamflegend #podcast, she breaks it down on How to BE A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR .
