Keeping the Myth Alive: Andrea Dandolo and the Preservation of Justice at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice
This essay analyzes the façade of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, with a focus on its representation of Venetian political identity. It proposes that the main theme of the façade's renowned figural sculpture – that the Venetian government was a divine and eternal agent of justice – was also expressed in the structure's architectural design and execution. In this view, the divine permanence of Venetian justice was conveyed in the formal harmony of the exterior, which was achieved through a unified design as well as an unusual yet documented attempt to preserve that design for nearly a century after its inception. Archival, literary, and architectural evidence suggests a connection between the project and the mythographical doctrine of Doge Andrea Dandolo (1343–1354), who credited the ducal office with securing the divine immortality of the Venetian state through its relentless defence of justice. In preserving the exterior of the ducal palace, Dandolo and his successors sought to maintain the integrity of this governmental image, an approach that would later become common in the patronage of Venetian governmental buildings.
Why Hand G of the Turin-Milan Hours Was Not Jan van Eyck
The Turin-Milan Hours, a book of prayers and masses, contains images executed by multiple hands. One, known as Hand G, is often thought to be Jan van Eyck. Five miniatures – some scholars include two more – are attributed to Hand G. They show refined execution with delicate detail, rich color, light reflections, and atmospheric effects. Some contain heraldry that suggests ownership by Duke John of Bavaria, for whom Jan van Eyck worked in 1422–1424. Many scholars propose that Jan painted the miniatures before John's death at the start of January 1425. They would then be the artist's earliest known works.
However, information offered by the heraldry is inconclusive. Tiny, usually unnoticed armorials in the Birth of John the Baptist miniature are more likely to belong to the person who commissioned these images. Hand G's compositions show motifs in common circulation, probably through model books that were standard workshop tools; Jan van Eyck's certain works are more original. Some of Hand G's images depend upon prototypes of the later 1440s or early 1450s by Rogier van der Weyden and Petrus Christus. In some miniatures, the subject matter is not clearly represented, and even misunderstood; we think of Jan van Eyck as understanding his subjects, however original some of them were. Moreover, the artistic quality varies in this group of miniatures.
It is concluded that the Jan van Eyck whom we know from his larger paintings is not Hand G. The latter was a talented artist, perhaps initially trained by Jan van Eyck, who worked with Hands F through K c. 1450, to paint unbound leaves bought by the young male patron seen in miniatures by other hands.
La Bella Principessa – Arguments against the Attribution to Leonardo
A cutting-edge and controversial attribution of a drawing known as La Bella Principessa, to Leonardo da Vinci, reported in the press worldwide, makes an interesting case of contemporary connoisseurship. Unfortunately, only studies in favour of the attribution have been published so far in the form of books (M. Kemp and P. Cotte; A. Vezzosi; P. Silverman), articles (C. Geddo, M. Gregori, D. R. E. Wright) and web material (Lumiere Technology). Nevertheless, the attribution has not been unanimously accepted.
The purpose of this paper is to systematically examine all the arguments against the attribution, as well as making comparisons with indisputable works by Leonardo, which have so far been lacking.
A careful and detailed analysis of all the evidence available discloses a number of significant problems and contradictions, which undermine the attribution. The paper will show that neither the identification of the sitter as Bianca Giovanna Sforza, put forward by Kemp, nor the theory of the Sforziad manuscript in Warsaw, proposed by Wright, have any solid foundations.
The paper also discusses the Marchig provenance, the style and technique of the drawing, the problem with the dating, and demonstrates why all these factors cast doubts on this attribution. A number of works by Leonardo da Vinci and de Predis, as well as a sculpted bust by Cristoforo Romano, are suggested as possible sources for the drawing.
Revival or Continuity? Three Turns about Pontormo
This article is divided into three parts, all of which concern paintings by, formerly attributed to, or associated with Pontormo. The first part treats the well-known predella in Dublin which has been attributed, in turn, to Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo, the circle of Pontormo, Maso da San Friano, Mirabello Cavalori, and Carlo Portelli; the author argues, in part on the grounds of the predella's Perugian provenance, in part on a nineteenth-century reference to it, and in part on its visual sources, that the predella is in fact by the Perugian painter Domenico Alfani and that it was originally placed beneath his Nativity with St Anne now in the National Gallery of Umbria, Perugia, a work of the mid-1530s.
The second section discusses the small painting in the National Gallery, London, known as the Conversation which, traditionally attributed to Pontormo, was in the 1960s given alternatively to Andrea Lilio and to Mirabello Cavalori; that to Lilio is now superseded but the latter, to Mirabello, is currently upheld by the gallery. Arguments are advanced against this attribution and the author contends, on the grounds of the painting's forms, mise-en-scène and colour that it is indeed a minor work by Pontormo, datable to the first half of the 1520s. The third part focuses on the small panel of the Virgin and Child with Saints Francis and Jerome and two Angels in the Uffizi, traditionally given to Pontormo but now generally accepted as an early work by Bronzino, painted under Pontormo's influence, but which, in recent years, has also been shifted to Cavalori. The author argues in favour of maintaining the attribution to Bronzino, in part by reference a drawing by Pontormo now in the Prince's Gate Collection of the Courtauld Institute.
The Iconography of Jupiter Painting Butterflies by Dosso Dossi, that is, Alfonso d'Este's Dream of Spring
The iconography of the Dosso Jupiter Painting Butterflies, believed to be a disguised portrait of Alfonso I d'Este of Ferrara, was probably based on a programme compiled by a Ferrarese humanist Celio Calcagnini. The author of the invenzione drew his ideas from various passages by Alberti, Ovid, Lucian and those of Caspar Ursinus Velius, known to the educated public at the court. The artist represented Jupiter dreaming of Flora, or spring, symbolized by flower wreaths and butterflies, whose wings are covered by colours as they grow. Rather than painting, the god with closed eyes is actually dreaming, whereas Mercury protects his quiet by making a gesture of silence to Aurora. The latter's attitude expresses deep respect and obedience. With her right arm she stops the solar chariot hidden behind.
Four Paintings by Scarsellino in the Canonici Collection and their Figurative Sources
In 1632 several paintings by Scarsellino, including four panels with Biblical scenes, formed part of the collection of Roberto Canonici in Ferrara. Three of them are now in the Pallavicini Gallery in Rome and the Musée des Augustins of Toulouse, while the last one, The Offering of Noah, is lost.
The present article presents two unpublished paintings in a private collection: Joseph Sold by his Brothers, a copy of one of the Pallavicini panels, and the other one is the missing scene with The Offering of Noah. Thus, the series is complete, at least iconographically. The author of the two paintings is not Scarsellino, but his pupil Camillo Ricci.
Scarsellino's four Biblical scenes were inspired by some engravings published by the Sadeler family between 1580 and 1583. Those engravings were part of a large and ambitious project of Old Testament stories, interrupted and resumed several times. On this occasion, a group of twenty-five prints has been brought together: without considering the whole Sadeler project, it is impossible to understand the meaning of the figurative sources.
The reason why Scarsellino decided to copy the Sadeler prints is not entirely clear, as it seems there were little (if any) relationship between the Ferrarese painter and the Flemish engravers. The only evidence of a connection is a print that Raphael Sadeler executed after a painting by Scarsellino, now in the Borghese Gallery. This print is a key to the understanding of the brief collaboration of the artists: it is not dated, but is dedicated to Bonifacio Bevilacqua who became a cardinal in 1599, and a chronology around 1599 for both of the Borghese painting and the Canonici panels can be inferred.
Finally, there is the story of a misunderstanding concerning the Madonna della Pappa by the Sienese Francesco Vanni. A copy of this famous painting in the Galleria Nazionale in Parma has for a long time been attributed to Scarsellino. The Parma canvas has generated a wrong tradition of attribution which is now difficult to be corrected.
Pietro Tacca and his Quattro Mori: The Beauty and Identity of the Slaves
The colossal bronze statues of four Ottoman slaves, one of whom is a black African, that Pietro Tacca added in the 1620s to the Monument to Ferdinando I de' Medici in Livorno have become touchstones in the literature on the image of the 'other' in early-modern European art. Contributing to their canonical status is the fact that the earliest sources on the monument tell us that two of the statues depict specific galley slaves: a 'Turkish Moor […] nicknamed Morgiano, who […] was very beautiful' and a 'robust old Saletino named Alì'. This essay reviews the history of the monument and offers new documentary evidence in support of the actual existence of 'Morgiano' and 'Alì'. It then explores the implications of the unprecedented rhetoric of beauty used to describe 'Morgiano' in the early sources, and concludes with a consideration of the monument's reception – both literary and visual – from the mid-seventeenth century until today.
The Monuments with Portrait Busts of the Bishops of Cracow: On the History of the Reception of Roman Baroque Models of Sepulchral Art in Poland (Bernini – Algardi – Rossi)
In the period following the Council of Trent, iconographic formulas used in sepulchral art were undergoing major transformations. These developments were also reflected in the art of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, two countries joined together by a political union into one state, governed by an exceptional political system and known as the Commonwealth of Both Nations. The bishopric see of Cracow – until the beginning of the seventeenth century, a capital city and royal residence – formally ranked third in the hierarchic system of Polish dioceses, after the metropolitan sees of Gniezno and Lvov. In reality, however, the bishops of Cracow, thanks to their enormous wealth, were second only to the archbishops of Gniezno. And it is in Cracow that a group of monuments with portrait busts of local bishops, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, unparalleled in Central Europe, has survived. They are a manifest testimony to the ambitions of the hierarchs who deliberately employed artistic solutions derived from the papal Rome to emphasise their own prestige. Some of the memorials count among the earliest and most accomplished examples outside Rome of the assimilation of the 'realist revolution' in portrait sculpture developed in the circle of Gianlorenzo Bernini. Yet, so far they have not been given their due in the literature on European Baroque sculpture.
The paper examines mainly four monuments of Cracow bishops: Marcin Szyszkowski, Piotr Gembicki, Bishop Jan Małachowski and Kazimierz Łubieński, set up in a unique and meaningful arrangement in the crossing of Cracow Cathedral around the altar housing the relics of St Stanislaus, Poland's major patron saint. All of these aedicular structures bear portrait busts of the hierarchs which are a telling testimony to Roman influences in Cracow sculpture of the period, some of them being the works of Italian artists, Giovanni Battista Gisleni and Giovanni Francesco de' Rossi, called La Vecchietta. The paper discusses the portrait busts against a broad background of the art of the Commonwealth of Both Nations and the developments in Roman sculpture of the period, pointing to particular examples that may have served as sources of inspiration for the Cracow portrait busts.
Alexandre Ubeleski (Ubelesqui): The Œuvre of the Painter and the Definition of his Style
The purpose of this article is to identify the undisputed works of Alexandre Ubeleski (1649/1651–21 April 1718), a painter of Polish origin, who worked in the service of Louis XIV and was affiliated with the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. A number of facts concerning the painter's life were established on the basis of archival documentation. Thanks to the archival sources, history of individual works and the analysis of the painter's signatures it was possible to identify Ubeleski's output consisting of forty-four works, including: seven paintings, twenty preparatory drawings for paintings and seventeen académies. Another twenty-eight works are documented in prints and over fifty-three works are known only from written sources. Although the surviving works constitute merely a small percentage of the artist's total output, they may serve as evidence in defining his style. One may hope that defining the painter's style and the common element of all of his paintings and drawings shall serve as a basis for the future attribution of works that may appear, for instance, in the antiquarian trade.
The painter was one of many artists at the time whose work was strictly defined by the academic canon. Ubeleski's style was fundamentally influenced by his studies at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. This very institution was his basic source of inspiration. It was there that the artist learned about the works of great masters. The classical style and the preponderance of drawing in his works contributed to his early successes which started his academic career, and gained him the chair of a professor. Ubeleski's artistic output is a representative sample of the French academic art in the reign of Louis XIV. The nature of his œuvre indicates that he was one of the Poussinistes, who valued classical models of great predecessors over creative experiments.
Mattia Preti's Vault in Saint John's, Valletta: New Light on a Complex Iconography
The article aims at casting new light on Mattia Preti's well-known decoration of the vault of the conventual church of the Knight Hospitallers, now the Co-cathedral of Valletta. To a modern viewer the iconography of the decoration is all but simple. The iconographic scheme, it is argued, seeks to claim a nobler pedigree to the Order of Saint John by juxtaposing episodes from the life of the Baptist with portraits of individual knights, who by virtue of their deeds or destiny form clear analogies with the scriptures. The precursor of Christ is thus effectively established as precursor to the Order and the knights in turn become post-figurations of the Baptist. This theme of ideological post-figuration should be seen as an extension of the way in which the knights were taught to see the laws and virtues of the Order represented in visual forms.
British Landscape Gardening, Italian Renaissance Painting, and the Grand Tour
The rise of naturalistic, informal gardening in eighteenth-century Britain was an extraordinary development in the history of art. The British of the time touted the originality of the style, and they acknowledged few influences. We consider here the role played by one model for the new manner, namely, landscapes present in Italian Renaissance painting. Modern literature has neglected this source, and emphasized instead, for example, the influence of Asian gardens or seventeenth-century landscape painters such as Claude Lorrain. The present article suggests that awareness of Italian Renaissance pictures helped paved the way for those British gardeners, critics, theorists, and landowners who adopted or accepted the new natural style. Indeed, the great age of eighteenth-century landscape gardening coincided with the era of the first flourishing of the Grand Tour and of expanded collecting by the British of Renaissance art. We give special emphasis here to William Kent, whose travels within Italy are well-documented, and who was especially important in the development of landscape gardening of his century.

The purpose of room control is to provide a comfortable environment for building occupants at the lowest possible energy consumption. Providing a comfortable environment goes beyond just temperature control. Depending on the building's needs, it could include looking at the indoor air quality and/or humidity, maintaining the desired light level, glare or privacy protection, or even providing different light colors depending on the room use. The key to minimizing the energy consumption is controlling room conditions based on the actual demand, to avoid the excess consumption of heating, cooling, and lighting energy.
This includes reacting to room occupancy, but can also involve the active management of blind and shutters.
Ease of use is another key factor. People want a consistent user interface covering the whole room − not several inconsistent user interfaces for the different equipment. It is also important to provide a nice, harmonic room design. The amount of sensors and user interfaces must therefore be kept at a minimum and nicely fit to the room design.
CentraLine offers a comprehensive set of freely programmable and configurable room controllers for a large variety of HVAC room applications (e.g., Fan Coil Units, Chilled Ceiling, Hydronic Heating, or VAV applications). These include solutions for the management of lighting, shutters, and blinds along with temperature control. For special customer needs, CentraLine also offers a vast series of freely programmable room controllers which satisfy the requirements of any room configuration.
For premium hotels, CentraLine is happy to provide the top class hotel guest room management solution from INNCOM, which combines guest room temperature control with integrated lighting management targeted specifically at the "high end" hospitality market.
Finally, Honeywell's EasyClickPro wireless light and blind control solutions are an excellent choice for retrofit opportunities. They allow the easy replacement of conventional installations with electronic light and blind controllers.
Battery-less switches that can be installed where needed, independent of the presence of wires. In contrast to similar 3rd-party offerings, the EasyClickPro wireless solutions are designed from ground up for integration with the CentraLine BMS system.
All the aforementioned room controllers are networked, providing the basis for demand-driven applications which optimize energy consumption by requesting only the minimum amount of energy to maintain comfortable room conditions from the primary plant controllers.
Using CentraLine's smart embedded integration platform HAWK or EAGLEHAWK, room control can easily be extended to include wired light and blind control via KNX, DALI, or the wireless EnOcean protocol. For hotel applications, HAWK can also communicate with the room reservation system using a Fidelio protocol, which saves energy for unrented rooms.
Freely programmable Niagara-based BACnet MS/TP room controller for integrated room management.
Freely programmable room controller for FCU, hydronic heating and cooling, VAV, and other applications. Choice of LONWORKS FTT-10A or BACnet MS/TP bus for integration with CentraLine plant controllers.
Hotel guest room management system for top class hotels. Choice of integration to CentraLine plant controllers through a wireless gateway or a BACnet TCP/IP server interface.
Wireless and batteryless system for lighting, shutter and room temperature control, based on the market leading EnOcean standard. Energy efficient, maintenance free, extensive and flexible where use of space utilization changes.
Smart integration platform, with BACnet (IP and MSTP) incl. B-BC certification, LONWORKS (FTT-10A and IP), Modbus, M-BUS, DALI, KNX, Enocean, integration of CCTV, security and fire/smoke control.
Integrated building controller, with BACnet (IP and MSTP) incl. B-BC certification, LONWORKS (FTT-10A and IP), Modbus, M-BUS, DALI, KNX, Enocean. Integration of lighting, shading, and other buildings applications.
TR42/CLCMTR42 (Sylk communicating, used with LYNX only, models available with integrated R.H. and CO2)
CLCM1T-CLCM6T, CLCM1H, CLCM6H, CLCM1C, CLCM4C (Analog outputs, with or without display, models available with integrated R.H. and CO2, used with PANTHER, SERVAL, LION, and FALCON)
Wall Modules provide access to temperature setpoint, fan speed, and occupied status, as well as providing space temperature on models with display. Temperature setpoint ranges can be adjusted to limit tenant or guest settings.
In rooms with changing use, a significant amount of energy can be saved when managing the room according to its current occupation status. Hotel rooms are a good example: There is no reason why a room should remain in comfort conditions when no guest is present. CentraLine room solutions can integrate with hotel management systems using a Fidelio driver. Through this connection, the BMS system knows which rooms are rented. Based on the information on whether a room is rented or not and based on its occupancy status, the BMS system can then adjust the "zero energy band" of the room controllers:
- When a room is not rented, the temperature is allowed to float significantly around the setpoint. Heating or cooling will be activated only if the temperature reaches critical levels.
- If the room is rented but not occupied, the temperature deviation is restricted by putting the room in standby mode. This preconditions the room such that it can quickly reach comfort condition once the guest steps into the area. In unoccupied rooms, the lights can also be automatically switched off to avoid energy waste caused by occupants forgetting to switch off electrical consumers.
- If the room is rented and occupied, the temperature is controlled around minimum deviation from the selected setpoint to provide maximum comfort to the guest.
In combination with the demand-driven system architecture of CentraLine solutions, only the minimum energy to maintain the required temperature levels is produced, thus providing significant energy savings.

Boston Globe announces top leadership changes
Boston Globe editor Brian McGrory has announced a realignment of top editors at the newspaper.
Caleb Solomon, managing editor for the past five years, will become managing editor/digital, McGrory said in an e-mail to the staff.
Solomon, who "possesses the talent to see long distances and the innate ability to get things done,'' will play a crucial role in the future of the Globe, which is pursuing a two-brand strategy on the Web, with two websites, boston.com and bostonglobe.com, McGrory said.
Chris Chinlund, deputy managing editor for news operations, will become managing editor/news. Chinlund, who has held numerous roles in her 30 years at the Globe, brings, along with her experience, "impeccable news judgment, journalism values of the highest order, and hands-on editing skill,'' McGrory said.
She is a "world class colleague'' and will be "nothing shy of great,'' he said.
Mark Morrow, deputy managing editor for Sunday and projects, will become senior deputy managing editor.
In addition to overseeing the Sunday paper, Morrow has been the senior editor on distinctive Globe projects for the past decade and edited two major Globe books, one on Mitt Romney and one on James "Whitey'' Bulger.
"With this new status, Mark has fresh license to interject his trademark creativity across an even broader spectrum of Globe work,'' McGrory said.
"It's a real tribute to the breadth and depth of this newsroom that journalists of this caliber are ready-made for the task ahead. I'm excited about these changes, very much so. … Now let's continue the great and important work of the Globe,'' McGrory said in the announcement.

Paulémile Pissarro, Camille's youngest son, was born in Eragny in 1884. He was brought up in the artistic environment of the family home there, and, encouraged by his father, began drawing at an early age. Paulémile's godfather was Claude Monet, who became his teacher and close friend, particularly after Camille's death in 1903.
In 1905, Paulémile exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants for the first time, showing an Impressionist landscape entitled Bords de l'Epte à Eragny. Although his father had supported his desire to be an artist, his mother was eager for him to learn a more practical trade. In 1908, Paulémile put aside his artistic pursuits to work as an automobile mechanic and test-driver, then as a lace and textile designer, allowing him only a little time to paint. While Paulémile was still working at the lace factory, his brother, Lucien, who lived in London, asked him to send over some watercolours, and the sale of these encouraged Paulémile to leave the factory and dedicate himself to painting.
By the 1920s, Paulémile had become an established Post-Impressionist artist in his own right, sharing a studio with Kees Van Dongen and spending the summer months escaping from Paris with him and Maurice de Vlaminck. In 1924, Paulémile moved to Lyons-la-Foret, a small town near Eragny, where he painted his surroundings with great pleasure, returning again and again to the placid waters of the River Epte, winding its way among willows, meadows and hills.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Paulémile reached the peak of his artistic development, arriving at the individual style for which he is best known. In 1930, he visited an area called Swiss Normandy and instantly fell in love with this part of the Calvados region, especially the River Orne that runs through the valley adjacent to the villages of Clécy and le Vey. The combination of blue hills and green meadows, separated by the calm waters of the river, offered Paulémile a new setting for his work. Paulémile moved in 1935 with his second wife, Yvonne Beaupel, to Clécy, where he would remain until his death.
In 1967, Paulémile had his first one-man show in the United States at Wally Findlay Galleries in New York. This led to widespread recognition and a degree of professional success that few Pissarro artists have known during their lifetime. Since his death in 1972, Paulémile's paintings have been exhibited around the world, and interest in his work continues to grow.

Somehow two silly displaced Super Bowl ticketholders and their eager lawyers managed to devise a lawsuit just as profoundly stupid as Dan Snyder's. They're seeking more than $5 million from the NFL, the Cowboys, and Jerry Jones personally. Why?
Take it away, Eagan Avenatti, LLP:
Most of the "Founders" fans, including but not limited to Plaintiff Dolabi, arrived at the stadium on Sunday to discover that Jones and the Cowboys had assigned them to seats with obstructed views and temporary metal fold out chairs, which had been installed in an effort to meet Jones' goal of breaking the attendance record. In addition, almost all of these seats lacked any reasonable view of the stadium's prized "video board," which Defendant Jones and the Cowboys routinely claim is the one of the most unique and best features of Cowboys Stadium.
Obstructed views of the field and the video board, plus ass-ache-inducing metal fold out chairs: is this $5 million in damages or just that night you saw a movie at the VFW?

Primarily a residential area, this is one of the most densely populated areas in all of Canada, with 40,000 people living in high-rise condominiums and apartments. Coffee shops, fine-dining restaurants and plenty of shopping will keep you entertained in this area, with several beautiful parks and beaches perfect for taking a leisurely stroll after an evening meal.
Gastown & Chinatown Gastown, the City's oldest neighbourhood and the epicenter of independent design, culture, food and fashion; Gastown delivers one-of-a-kind experiences to visitors and locals alike. Merging from Gastown, you'll also find Canada's largest Chinatown. As one of the earliest communities in British Columbia, Vancouver Chinatown hosts some of the cities' most famous sceneries and historical buildings.
Shopping If you're looking for a little retail therapy, Vancouver is sure to please even the most ardent shopper, with everything from artisan markets to international designers. Browse the offerings on your own, or take a guided shopping adventure. Downtown's Robson Street and Pacific Centre Mall offer well-known brands and high-end boutiques, while Gastown is home to some of the city's hippest new ateliers and galleries. Colourful markets such as Granville Island will find you shopping for culinary finds alongside the locals.
Dining Well known for fresh seafood, West Coast fusion cuisine and a thriving dining scene, Vancouver's chefs use the best of what's in-season, combining fresh ingredients with traditional techniques and multicultural influence to delicious effect. Home to the 100 Mile Diet, Vancouver is known for sustainable options on the plate – look for the Ocean Wise symbol indicating sustainable seafood choices on the menu. Pair it all with internationally-acclaimed wines from BC's Okanagan Valley, and locally micro-brewed beers to get a unique taste of the city. And don't let the evening end when your table is cleared: Vancouver has a vibrant cocktail scene worthy of exploration along with nightlife options to suit all tastes. Whether your preferences lean towards a jazz performance, dance clubs, catching a game at a sports bar, or a quiet nightcap, you won't be disappointed. A wide range of culinary walking tours take you to some of the city's tastiest neighbourhoods, giving you an insider's glimpse into Vancouver's hottest spots, cultural history, favourite purveyors and current trends. For the ultimate combination of cuisine and sightseeing, try a floatplane "fly and dine" tour: soaring over the modern metropolis, majestic mountains, fjords and ocean before landing on the water to savour West Coast flavour with an oceanfront seafood dinner.
There are plenty of everyday activities in the Vancouver area to keep most anyone busy, but the city has a festive side too. There was also that whole Olympic party that just took over the region and showcased both the urban and natural beauty to the world. Vancouver doesn't stop there: It has a host of annual events that celebrate myriad great aspects of the city. From theatre to wine and food to holiday celebrations, here are some annual events that keep the city festive:
Tourism Vancouver's DineOut Vancouver Festival - January / February This two week event is Canada's largest restaurant festival. It's not uncommon for a city to hold a restaurant week or two each year, where local eateries set affordable prix fixe menus and local foodies snap up reservations quicker than a professional speed eater swallows hot dogs
Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival - February / March A weeklong event, the International Wine Festival features dozens of seminars, tastings and food pairings with wines from all over the world. This event is so popular that many of the sessions sell out in advance.
Vancouver International Jazz Festival Mid June - Early July For the past quarter century, an exceptional collection of jazz, funk, Latino and fusion music has taken over parks, concert halls, clubs and other venues each summer in downtown Vancouver. The Vancouver Jazz Festival offers signature music festival and expects more than 1,800 musicians to play for more than a half million people. There are even 130 free concerts, including the Gastown Jazz street festival on opening weekend.
Celebration of Light on English Bay – Three nights in July & August Sometimes English Bay needs a little extra colour - like the type provided by fireworks. We're not talking about everyday fireworks, though. The Celebration of Light doesn't do typical! It does extravagant. 3 non-consecutive spectacular nights (usually held at the end of July and early August) showcases international, pyro-musical firework displays in the world for more than 1 million people lining the shores of the bay.
Bard on the Beach - May to September Shakespeare is the world's great playwright, and his words have lived on in countless community theatres, festivals and various other productions over the centuries. Bard on the Beach is one of the largest non-profit, professional Shakespeare companies in Canada. Each summer it produces dozens of performances in beautiful Vanier Park. With two stages, including the 520-seat Main Stage tent that provides striking mountain views, the festival offers classic theatre to tourists and Vancouverites alike. And they're welcoming it with open arms: The 20th iteration in 2009 brought more than 90,000 visitors.
Vancouver Pride Parade - August More than 650,000 people come to the Vancouver Pride Parade to celebrate diversity and the city's LGBT community. This parade started as a small protest through Davie Village in 1978 but is now a full-scale party that draws people from all over the world, spans 20 blocks and celebrates Vancouver's lively gay community. Colourful floats compete for prizes such as Best Little Float, Brightest Rainbow and Sin-sational Crowd Stimulators. The parade can be a bit wild, which may be a little much for children.
Vancouver International Fringe Festival - September Don't take the name of the Vancouver International Fringe Festival to heart. The theatre at Fringe isn't all the way out of the realm of popular culture. Rather, the point of the festival is to be inclusive to the arts community. Basically, there are no limits or censorship of ideas or scripts. Expect profanity and edge in one performance and something more traditional in the next. This festival is British Columbia's largest
Vancouver International Film Festival - September / October There are so many fantastic reasons to attend the Vancouver International Film Festival - it's big! One of the five largest in all of North America, in 2012, the festival saw nearly 140,000 attendees and over 380 films from 75 countries. The festival features big-name movies, plus many undiscovered gems. It is also the largest showcase in the world for Canadian films, as well as for East Asian films outside of Asia.
Bright Nights in Stanley Park - November - January Don't bother stringing up a few hundred holiday lights on your house. There are professionals hanging millions of lights each year in Stanley Park as part of Bright Nights held end of November to early January. This holiday tradition since the early 1990's is free, although there is a small price for tickets to certain parts of the park, including the Bright Nights Train and Children's Farmyard.
Warmed by Pacific Ocean currents and protected by a range of mountains, Vancouver's weather is mild year-round.
From high 70's Fahrenheit (low 20's Celsius) in summer to a mild mid 40's Fahrenheit (0º to 5º Celsius) in winter, the climate is always hospitable. Our winters are wet, but it rarely snows, except on our local ski hills.

You might have seen them already in window shops or at tradeshows these QR or Quick Response Codes. It is used to divert an offline consumer to an online mobile platform. They can scan this 2D 'BAR' code with their mobile device, upon which they are directly diverted to a website landing page, or access all other kinds of information, including web addresses, personal or professional contact information, or FaceBook action / promotion pages. There are several QR apps you can download for free.
The key in using QR codes comes down to added value. You have to give them something that they did not know have yet. You can of course for the 'win a price' approach, or try to push your special offers.
But our guess is consumers are getting a bit tired of all the special offers thrown at them. This morning I was just reading an article on the? Backlash of the Groupon Effect'. Consumers are getting saturated, by offers already every day.
We have looked for another angle, and are instead using QR codes to improve the guest's service experience. QR codes are used on cards in the rooms, announcements in elevators, at the concierge desk and message boards in the lobby to engage clients with tips on where to dine or what to do during their stay.
Upon scanning the QR code, they will be diverted to the hotel website's blog which contains the latest events, restaurant tips, attractions and activity recommendations, our favorite shops, etc. From here the guest can also navigate to our social media pages.
This is a simple way to increase the guest service level in your hotel, and in the same time connect to your guest through social media platforms like a Blog, FaceBook, Twitter and Google+.
We have introduced this concept with several of our clients, Hotel de Londres in San Sebastian, The Signature Hotels in Saudi Arabia and HTEL Serviced Apartments in Amsterdam, among others, and received very positive feedback. And we are using it for our own hotel management blog as well.
We recommend driving consumers to a specific promotion or landing page, not just your hotel website. In the beginning you will need to educate your guests and include a call to action. Tell them what to do 'Scan this Code for our Latest Restaurant, Shopping and Tourist Tips'.
People need to think that upon scanning the code they will receive some very cool and interesting information. If you don't have a blog you can send them to your local Tourism or Visitors Bureau website or mobile app. You could also use it as a promotional tool to offer a discount on drinks in the bar or dinner in the restaurant, and offer 10% – 25% off during certain hours for those who scan it. The QR Code Happy Hour is born …

"…the debate about illegal immigration isn't just about competition over jobs or lingering white racism. Many Americans share the European fear that mass migration is subverting their democratic culture from within. In the same way that exotic cells of Jihadists have established themselves in London and Paris, criminal gangs motivated by bloodlust and kinky spiritualism have been found living in the suburbs of Boston and Atlanta. One of its many manifestations is the cult of Santa Meurte. […] Tens of thousands of Mexicans living in America venerate Santa Muerte and have no association with crime. Nor is the cult purely ethnic: in North California, the Santisima Muerte Chapel of Perpetual Pilgrimage is tended by a woman of Dutch-American descent. But the prevalence of Santa Muerte imagery among drug traffickers injects an interesting cultural dimension to the debate over illegal immigration. It accentuates American fears that the drug war in Mexico is turning into an invasion of the USA by antidemocratic fanatics."
While Stanley does include the disclaimer that many Mexicans who venerate Santa Muerte aren't criminals, that is more than counter-balanced by connecting Santa Muerte to Muslim extremism over and over again.
"The goal of these groups is to undermine democracy and govern autonomous secret societies through family, blood and religion. […] in Mexico, family and religion filled the vacuum left by the failure of socialism."
I would recommend not reading the comments section of this editorial as it makes the most heated debates here at The Wild Hunt look like happy playtime, but there was one comment I thought was worth mentioning from R. Andrew Chestnut, author of the forthcoming book "Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint" from Oxford University Press.
"The more "vicious threat" we face than Santa Muerte worshipers is our own insatiable demand for the methamphetamines, marihuana, and heroin supplied by the narco cartels. Moreover, Santa Muete (Saint Death) is a more complex folk saint than the demonic Grim Reapress of your piece. She aslo has many devotees among Mexican law enforcement."
Indeed, if there's a spiritual war being waged, it's internal, not external.
"In secret meetings that draw on elements of Haitian Voodoo, Cuban Santeria and Mexican witchcraft, priests are slaughtering chickens on full moon nights on beaches, smearing police with the blood and using prayers to evoke spirits to guard them as drug cartels battle over smuggling routes into California. Other police in the city of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, tattoo their bodies with Voodoo symbols, believing they can repel bullets."
The worship of Santa Muerte is a complex thing, not easily used as proof of some sort of larger constructed "Mexican death cultists vs. United States Christian values" meme, and certainly not limited to being a "narco-saint".
The authorities have condemned Santa Muerte as a "narco-saint," worshipped by drug traffickers, cartel assassins and dope slingers. But the worship is more a reflection of contemporary Mexico, says the anthropologist J. Katia Perdigón Castañeda, the author of "La Santa Muerte: Protector of Mankind." The cult is an urban pop amalgam, New Age meets heavy metal meets Virgin of Guadalupe. It is no accident that it is also cross-cultural — that the centers of worship are the poor, proud heart of Mexico City and the violent frontier lands of Laredo, Juarez and Tijuana. The cult borrows equally from Hollywood and the Aztec underworld. Altars, necklaces and tattoos honoring Santa Muerte also make appearances in Mexican American neighborhoods from Los Angeles to Boston. "The believers may be drug dealers, doctors, carpenters, housewives. The cult accepts all. No matter the social status or age or sexual preference. Even transsexuals. Even criminals. That's very important, that the cult of Santa Muerte accepts everyone," Perdigón told me, "because death takes one and all."
Editorials like Stanley's do nothing more than feed fear and hysteria, creating further roadblocks to addressing illegal immigration in a constructive ways by framing the problem as war for the religious soul of America itself. Reinforcing that immigrants, illegal or otherwise, aren't simply "taking our jobs" they are something truly "other," and not to be trusted. This leads to anti-immigration sentiment manifesting in ways that targets the very beliefs (or at least assumed beliefs) of immigrant groups (illegal or not). This leads to profiling, and ultimately, hate crimes. By saying that some illegal immigrants might be secret death-cultists who are just as bad as Muslim extremists, you tar all immigrants with suspicion and fear. A point that's acknowledged by Stanley in his editorial.
"Sadly, Mexicans seeking work get caught in this existential drama and are either swallowed up into the gangs or demonised in the US for crimes they have not committed. Nevertheless, Americans of every ethnicity are legitimately concerned about their country being poisoned by a criminal subculture that blends political corruption with ritualised murder. Europeans should not be so quick to judge their transatlantic friends. Americans face a vicious threat of their own."
Nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless. Repeat it like a mantra until the guilt of harming the innocent along with the guilty fades from the waking mind. Don't think about the followers of Santa Muerte or other "cults" practiced by immigrants that will now be seen as suspicious simply because they believe as they do. Even if they have a visa, or are second, third, or forth generation United States citizens. Even if they pay the same taxes and have the same worries, we now must worry if they are secretly in league with "antidemocratic fanatics." This kind of editorial is dangerous tinder for fires that aren't easily put out, once lit. Fear-mongering of this sort does nothing to solve the problems posed by illegal immigration, or of drug trafficking, all it does is create something new to worry about.

Still Not Enough iPhone 5s to Go Around
If iPhone 5 sales have not yet spiked to the heights investors had hoped, it's not because of limited demand. It's due to a continuing shortfall in supply. Two weeks after its retail debut, Apple's latest iPhone continues to be difficult to come by, with devices ordered online showing shipping estimates of three weeks to four weeks, and a number of Apple's retail stores reporting low inventory.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, an Apple bull if there ever was one, whacked 2.2 million units from his September iPhone forecast Thursday for precisely this reason. Munster's team surveyed 100 U.S. Apple Stores over the past week and concluded that the supply of iPhone 5 is "extremely limited." Given that, Munster lowered his iPhone forecast for September from 27.2 million units to 25 million units.
But Munster's not yet willing to take a scalpel to the holiday quarter. By December, he figures, Apple should be able to meet demand for the iPhone 5, and when it does, investors will finally see those outrageously big sales for which they've been hoping. "While the supply issues for the iPhone 5 since launch are concerning in terms of the company's ability to fully meet demand in December, we are staying with our 49 million unit estimate for the holiday quarter," he said.
So, assuming supply and demand for the iPhone 5 hit equilibrium in the next month or so, Apple is going to be in a great position heading into the holidays. As Jefferies analyst Peter Misek observes, right now there simply aren't enough iPhone 5s to go around. "Remember, there are 170 million post paid subscribers coming off contract," Misek told AllThingsD. "That's overwhelming all supply ramps. The demand here is unprecedented."

Orthodox politician from Montenegro prays at Patriarchal service in Butovo
On 10 May 2014, Mr. Srđan Milić, president of the Socialist People's Party of Montenegro, who had come to Moscow to attend the Victory Day celebrations, prayed at the Divine Liturgy celebrated by His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia at the Butovo firing range.
The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church warmly greeted the guest from Montenegro and noted the importance of upholding the unity of the canonical Orthodoxy for the development and prosperity of the country, as well as for strengthening the centuries-old friendship between the people of Montenegro and Russia.
Mr. Srđan Milić conveyed to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill greetings from Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Coastlands and presented the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church with an icon of St Peter of Cetinje.

White Sox escape error-filled ninth with win
Ramirez hits walk-off single; Sale fans 13 Mets over eight innings
CHICAGO -- The White Sox walked off with a 5-4 Interleague victory over the Mets Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field, courtesy of Alexei Ramirez's game-winning, two-out single against reliever LaTroy Hawkins.
So, why did the postgame clubhouse have such a subdued feeling on the winner's side? Clearly it was because of the latest round of defensive misery by the White Sox (32-42) in the top of the frame.
With David Wright on second and two outs, closer Addison Reed (3-0) induced a first-pitch, routine popup from pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy that third baseman Conor Gillaspie appeared to have in his sights. But as the White Sox have proven throughout the 2013 season, very few things are routine.
As Gillaspie waited for the popup, Gordon Beckham charged in from second, tripped on Reed's foot and fell forward as the ball dropped safely to the ground.
Gone was the club's one-run lead, as Wright scored from second. Gone was a much-deserved victory for Chris Sale, who struck out 13 over eight innings. Gone was Addison Reed's 22nd save.
Luckily for the White Sox, they were able to do just enough damage to beat Hawkins (2-1) in the bottom of the frame. But Beckham still couldn't stop his frustration from boiling over after the squad's third win in four games.
"Well I ran in there and screwed up. That's what happened," said Beckham. "Stupid play for me. My heart was in the right spot, but my mind obviously wasn't.
"It was loud. I screwed up. It is what it is. I'm glad we won. It didn't cost us the game, but it's a stupid play and I'm an idiot. I was trying to make a play, but it's unacceptable. You do that, you blow the save for Reed and don't get Sale a win."
On June 14, Sale fanned 14 Astros in a complete-game effort and walked just one while allowing five hits. He took a loss in that contest because of two unearned runs on two errors made by Ramirez.
Tuesday's mound effort didn't start quite as auspiciously, with Sale allowing two runs in the first inning. But the Mets (30-43) didn't pick up much more, fanning nine times swinging and four times looking, as Sale hit as high as 98 mph with his fastball.
"He had a good changeup and slider going," said Mets catcher John Buck of Sale. "That's the first time we all have seen him, so I think that added to it. He throws hard and has that good secondary stuff. I think that was kind of the equalizer, that changeup and that slider."
"[White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers] and I were working well together. My arm was loose," said Sale, who walked two and allowed four hits over 110 pitches. "After the first couple of innings, I just felt like I had good control and good command of all my pitches. I just tried to get in my groove and stay on it."
A solo homer from Flowers in the third and two manufactured runs in the fifth off Mets prodigy Zack Wheeler put the White Sox in command to get Sale his first victory since May 17. Then, the ninth inning came around.
Wright singled and swiped second, one of seven stolen bases recorded by the two teams, but he was still there after Marlon Byrd struck out and Jordan Danks made a running catch of Josh Satin's line drive to right-center. That defensive prowess didn't hold up on Murphy's popup, leaving the White Sox seemingly asking what could happen next.
"Everyone saw it. There should be one guy underneath it. You're at a loss to describe it," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "At least they gathered together and scored a run in the next [at-bat]. But it's just a communication thing and you got to clean it up. They know what they did … but somebody has to catch it."
"That happens, it's part of baseball," said Reed, who blamed himself for being too close to the play. "It kind of [stinks] we did get the win and at the same time, we're kind of all down."
Down, for sure. But not as potentially buried as they would have been if a late error cost them a victory for the second straight game. Never has "a win is a win" mentality been better defined than by the White Sox on Tuesday.
"I don't think I've ever been disappointed after a win," said Sale, who reached double-digit strikeouts for the third time this season and seventh time in his career. "It's definitely not the first time that's happened and it's probably not the last either. My record is irrelevant. We got a win today, and that's all that really matters to be honest with you."
"You win a game and you're talking about the mistakes you make," Ventura said. "Everyone does a nice job and you win, but everyone focuses on that because you have to clean it up."

It appears that two powerful car bombs have gone off in Reyhanli, a Turkish town on the Syrian border, with early reports suggesting at least four dead. It is a dangerous turn of events — particularly as Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has dug a deep hole for himself through his support for the insurgents in Syria and has, as his strategy has collapsed, gone into full panic mode. Erdogan may hope to salvage some of his policy by accusing the Syrian government of bombing Turkey, internationalizing the conflict, and thereby inviting a Turkish military response.
There is one problem: As the MoA blog has pointed out, Reyhanli is a town mostly populated by pro-Assad Alawites.
As with the illogical sarin gas claims, why would the Syrian government bomb a town full of its supporters in Turkey thereby giving Erdogan the excuse he has been looking for to begin international military action against Syria? Does it make sense?
However, the insurgents have a long history of provocations in attempt to draw neighboring countries and beyond into their fight to overthrow the Syrian government. Also, car bombs are the insurgents stock in trade.
This is a serious development, as already no mainstream corporate media outlet is reporting that Reyhanli is a pro-Assad village. Such reporting would weaken claims that the Syrian government is behind the car bombs.

Talking crew, cross-country travel, triathlon and big $
Zach Johnson's schedule is a tad cramped the next week. The UCSD men's rowing coach will lead his oarsmen in the 39th San Diego Crew Classic on Saturday and Sunday. Come 5:30 a.m. Monday, the Tritons will be back on Mission Bay for a practice.
When the practice is done and the shells washed down, the team will load four boats on a trailer hooked to a Dodge Ram 2500 pickup. Then Johnson and assistant coach Colin Truex will drive approximately 2,685 miles, nonstop, to Washington, D.C., where UCSD will row in the George Washington Invitational.
"It's just part of the job," said Johnson.
Sending the 54- and 58-foot shells by plane is not an option. There's no room on a standard plane.
"It's nothing you can FedEx," said Johnson, 36, now in his sixth season as head coach.
UCSD competed in the regatta a couple years ago using borrowed boats.
"In a couple races we lost by less than a second and it definitely would have made a huge difference to have our own equipment," he said. "It's like a baseball team not bringing its bats and gloves. You can do it, but it's not the same."
Estimated gasoline cost for Johnson and Truex's round trip: $3,000.
Added Johnson, "Depends on how much wind we hit."
Eastward Ho, take II
Fortunately, Johnson and Truex get along, with Truex set to serve as a groomsman in the head coach's wedding come August.
"Usually, we talk a lot the first eight hours, then set up a bed in the back," said Johnson. "One drives and the other sleeps until we stop for gas. Then we switch."
No doubt, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and their assistants pull similar rotations on recruiting trips.
Get out and sweat
It's a busy participatory sports weekend. Rowers will be gliding along Mission Bay. On Saturday, about 2,500 triathletes will swim, bike and run at the Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside. And on Sunday, more than 8,000 runners will storm downtown Carlsbad in the Carlsbad 5000.
More travel woes
The 24-foot black box truck is mockingly called "The Chick Magnet."
Beneath triathlon logos, the truck, used to transport bike racks from race to race on the Ironman series, is battered and bruised.
"It's not that old (1999)," said Roch Frey, the Ironman 70.3 California director of operations. "It's just been beaten and abused."
Frey drove the truck one year from Oceanside to St. George, Utah. A trip that normally requires six hours took 10 hours. On some of the uphill Interstate 15 grades, the black bomb slowed to 18 mph.
"When I finished that drive," Frey said, "I was beat up worse than when I worked a 26-hour shift on race week. I said, 'I'll quit before I do this again.'"
Chick Magnet II
Frey's most vivid memory from the drive?
"I noticed how much trash there is on the side of the road all the way on 15," he said. "What else you going to do (when driving that slow)? It's sad."
Questions, questions
Wondering why the person responsible for the spelling of Dwyane Wade's name opted for "ya" over the traditional "ay?" And shouldn't it be pronounced Dwine, rhymes with twine?
Check, roll, wow
If you want to coach football, head to Alabama. Saban is scheduled to earn $5.32 million next year. Even more stunning, Tide assistant position coaches, not the coordinators, will earn $260,000 to $350,000. SDSU position coaches earned $150,000 last season.
Final thoughts
From March, newspapers should run the NBA standings by conference, not division. Quit making readers struggle to align the teams one through eight for playoff analysis...
March Madness, the Final Four, the Masters? Reading slows a little this time of year…
Give me 2-1 odds and I'll take Tiger and give you the field.

US employers add 113K jobs; rate dips to 6.6 pct.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A surprisingly weak jobs report for a second straight month has renewed concern that the U.S. economy might be slowing after a strong finish last year.
Employers added 113,000 jobs in January, far fewer than the average monthly gain of 194,000 last year. Job gains have averaged just 154,000 the past three months, down from 201,000 in the preceding three.
The sluggish job growth could undermine hopes that economic growth will accelerate this year. But economists also say they expect hiring to return to healthier levels in coming months. They note that solid job gains in January in manufacturing and construction point to underlying strength.
The government said Friday that manufacturers, construction firms and mining and drilling companies added a strong 76,000 jobs combined.
"You rarely see expansions in these industries without the economy being in fairly healthy shape," said Gary Burtless, an economist at Brookings Institution.
And more people began looking for work in January, a sign that they were optimistic about finding jobs. Some of these people found work, thereby reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent in December.
That's the lowest rate since October 2008.
Investors seemed generally pleased by the figures. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 78 points early in the day, before paring its gains by midmorning.
Cold weather likely held back hiring in December, economists said, but the impact faded in January. Construction firms, which sometimes stop work in bad weather, added 48,000 jobs last month.
Over the past month, signs of economic weakness in the United States and overseas have sent stock prices sinking. Upheaval in developing countries has further spooked investors.
The anxiety marks a reversal from just a few weeks ago, when most analysts were increasingly hopeful about the global economy. U.S. growth came in at a sturdy 3.7 percent annual pace in the second half of last year. The Dow finished 2013 at a record high. Europe's economy was slowly emerging from a long recession. Japan was finally perking up after two decades of stagnation.
But then the government reported a dismal jobs report for December: Employers added just 75,000 jobs. And on Monday, an industry survey found that manufacturing grew much more slowly in January than in December. A measure of new orders in the report sank to the lowest level in a year. That report contributed to a dizzying 326-point plunge in the Dow.
Also this week, automakers said sales slipped 3 percent in January. And last week, a measure of signed contracts to buy homes fell sharply, according to the National Association of Realtors.
On a more hopeful note, a survey of service sector companies, including retailers, banks and restaurants, found that they grew faster in January than in December.
Friday's report showed that some higher-paying industries added jobs in January. Factories created 21,000 new positions. Professional and technical services, which includes architects and engineers, added 20,000.
But health care employment was mostly unchanged for a second straight month, after adding 17,000 jobs a month last year. And retailers cut 12,900 jobs, the most in 18 months.
And government shed 29,000 jobs, mostly in education and the Postal Service. That was the biggest drop in government employment in 15 months.
Average hourly earnings rose 5 cents to $24.21, the report said. Average hourly pay has increased 1.9 percent in the past year, slightly ahead of the 1.5 percent inflation rate.
