It's no secret that I've developed a style for my book photography, and the base style is quick, simple, and boring. I know it is, because when I started reviewing, I was finishing the book, realizing I needed a photo of it to post, and doing the minimum work possible–which amounted to finding an article of clothing or piece of fabric that looked good with the book cover, setting the book on it at a slight angle, and shooting.
Seriously, it's easy, and it looks decent, but it gets bland after a while.
I'd been making half-hearted attempts to do better from time to time, but at the end of last year, I decided to be more serious about it. First of all, I would do my best to incorporate more props to make the photos more interesting, and second–this is the key–I would take the photos ahead of time.
Since I organize my physical TBR (roughly) in advance of reading it, I know which books are coming up soon, so there's no reason I can't take advantage of an afternoon of good sunlight and take a bunch of pics at once, with props and time to lay it all out well, right?
So let's take a look at some props I've been using, and in many cases making, to enhance my photos.
Stuffed animals. Maybe you don't have any, but if you do, and their colors coordinate, or they go with your book thematically, you've got yourself a prop with no work.
Jewelry. Whether you've made it yourself or not.
Bookmarks. Obviously!
Food/Candy. Wrapped candy is great as small, individual objects to scatter. And whenever I make any kind of treat, now, I do my best to get it into a book photo before it's gone.
Origami. Those book-page roses have featured in quite a few photos since I made them last fall, and this year I branched out and made a sectional star. The puffy stars I used for my original TBR jar are incredibly popular in the book photography I see on Tumblr and Instagram–I'm just not very good at them, really, and I don't have a stock of brightly colored paper to work from. When I do, maybe I'll try again.
Coffee Filter Flowers. I made the large white one with this tutorial, and it took me about six minutes, can't beat that. The smaller, dyed one took a bit more work, but was totally worth it for the color. And if you look for them, there's even more elaborate flowers to make, like dahlias, daffodils, and roses made from individual petals cut from the filters.
Real Flowers. I don't have any examples of my own to share yet, we're not a flower-buying or -growing household, and it's winter, etc. But I have plans in the spring to pick wildflowers when I can. (There's artificial flowers from the craft store, as well, if you don't mind spending on them–I try to avoid buying props, preferring to use what I have or make from my existing craft stash.)
Mini lights. Again, nothing of my own to share, because I went to take a picture a few weeks ago with my Christmas lights, only to find out that between the time we'd taken the tree down, and getting them back out for a photo session, they'd stopped working. Next year, when I get new ones, we'll see.
I hope I've given you some ideas to improve your own book photography, and of course, there are so many more ideas out there! If you're looking to improve, pay attention to photos you like when you see them on social media, take notes, even save them for reference! (But reference only, don't ever use them anywhere without permission!)
Get inspired and make stuff!

If you've been following along with Gal Meets Glam Collection since launch day, you surely know that pastel hues and feminine floral patterns never fail to make our hearts flutter. While we won't hesitate to layer a handful of our earlier-season dresses with tights and coats to make them winter-ready, we also wanted to introduce a fresh new take on our favorite florals and pastels in our December line. Enter jewel-toned blooms, muted versions of our go-to pastel colors, and updated twists on classic silhouettes in black and white. The result: a collection of gorgeous and unique winter dresses that any Gal Meets Glam gal will love wearing into the new year.
The simple silhouette of our Krista dress draws all attention to its dreamy muted lavender hue. Flattering on every skin tone, this shade also looks lovely paired with any classic color of winter coat.Shop The Look
Jewel-toned florals with metallic accents pop against the espresso backdrop of our Presley mini. Equally charming and sophisticated, you'll reach for this memorable dress again and again.Shop the Look
Stand out in a sea of little black dresses when you don our Octavia dress. The elegant wisteria hue just might be the perfect alternative to lavender during the winter months, and we can't resist the one-shoulder bow or asymmetrical hem.SHOP THE LOOK
Meet Makela, one of our most romantic styles this month. We transformed the maxi silhouette for winter by using a purple and gold floral pattern, long sleeves, and a modern interpretation of Victorian-inspired ruffle details.Shop The Look
We adore our Ruthie dress in black, but when we saw this steel blue fabric, we knew we had to offer both stunning options. Throw on a winter white coat or a faux fur stole to pop against the blue and play up this style's old school Hollywood glam feel.Shop the Look

Recently I was asked to help out with branding for a new YouTube channel. I was given some guidelines and after a few discussions I was told to have my way with it. We went through a couple rounds of ideas and then settled upon the logos above. The top graphic is the main logo and the bottom is an alternate. Simple, clean and effective. My kind of work.
If you know me then you know I can't be letting a good opportunity go to waste and I immediately started making other things as well. I immediately wanted to create a quick set of typographic posters based around alcohol. Start with a word, decide on a background shape, add a little bit of grit and away we go. Artwork to lighten up your alcoholic den of depression and perversions.
I also wanted to create some graphics to use as merchandise or whatever else the client had in mind. The first two ideas that stuck out to me on my list were a barrel pram and a barrel baby. Two different styles for maximum fun.
I really can't say why but I was immediately drawn toward a Victorian era/style and I just had to create a barrel pram for pushing the wee one around in. After that I created the barrel baby. It started out creepy and then ended up completely amazing. A not-so-subtle tribute to King of the Hill with the line work and coloring is evident if you're a fan of the show. The more I got into this idea the more I decided not to fight it and I even created a bunch of color palettes based on the characters. Anyway, I am definitely NOT an illustrator so these two little ditties are something I'm fairly proud of. They have some good style and both pleased the client. Can't ask for anything more than that.
I'm sure more oddness will appear as the client gets down the road with his endeavor. I've also made a baby age blanket for him and I'm waiting for that to arrive before posting some photos of it in action. Overall this has been a fun project that I hope continues for some time to come. Combining two very different entities like this isn't the easiest but if your client has an open mind and isn't scared to take some risks then it can become something entertaining and engaging.

If you're headed to a semester volunteering in Thailand with ILP, then you're probably already thinking about all the places you're going to see right? Hammocks on the beach, kisses from a baby elephant, fresh mango smoothies...it's all waiting for you. Now you've just got to get there.
Here's a total guide to volunteering in Thailand - it's got answers to all your questions!
One of the best benefits of volunteering for a semester with International Language Programs is that we make sure you'll have vacation time so that you can travel all over Thailand. Because of visa rules, you'll also need to fly to another nearby country as well during your semester abroad like Indonesia or Cambodia (rough right? - Sorry to force that awesome vacay on you).
All that world travel is great and all, but we know you're a starving college volunteer or at least that you'd rather spend your hard earned money on zip lining and buying elephant pants instead of purchasing expensive flights.
The wonderful thing about Thailand is that flights are much cheaper than you'll find in the US, but with multiple vacations it still adds up. Lucky for you we found a sweet deal.
Check Out This Flight Pass For the Best Deals
There are a couple budget airlines that we love and one of them is Air Asia. They're offering something called Asean Pass which is a huge deal that you're going to want to check out. Tell your ILP group about it because it could save you a lot of baht.
- In a nut shell, how it works is that you make a one time purchase of $160 USD for 10 flight credits that you can use anytime during your semester. Go here to make that purchase.
What does 10 flight credits get you? Good question. Typically flights are broken up into 1 or 3 credits. Shorter distances are 1 credit and longer are 3 credits. Go here to see the details, but basically if you want to fly from Bangkok to Krabi (to hit up the islands) then that's just one credit. Or if you want to go to Cambodia that's only 1 credit also. Pretty much most flights you take are going to be 1 credit. For 3 credits you could go somewhere like Bali or Singapore. Yes please!
You can easily get all the flights you would purchase in one semester abroad with those 10 credits. Let me say that again...you could purchase ALL your flights while you live in Thailand for $160. I WISH I knew about this when I was a volunteer in Thailand because I spent that much on my flight to Bali alone - forget about all the other flights I took.
Previous volunteers said that after taxes it actually came out to about $200 but was still worth it.
Things To Keep In Mind
This deal sounds too good to be true, and it kinda is but here's a couple of things to know before you commit.
- You'll want to fully check out their policies and current offer on their website (don't just go from what I wrote on this post). Obviously they'll have the most up to date info so double check what their deal is there.
- You can't use points on flights from Phitsanulok. This is sort of a bummer for ILP volunteers because your closest airport is Phitsanulok so it would be most convenient for you to fly from there but... you'll need to pay for additional transportation to Bangkok and fly from there instead. The good news though is that it's pretty cheap to get to Bangkok. You can usually find flight deals from Phitsanulok to Bangkok for around $20-$30 (it's a one hour flight) or you can book a 4 hour train ride for even cheaper. Up to you.
- This pass is only for your base fare, meaning that any add-ons (like bringing baggage or choosing your seat) are extra. That's normal for this budget airline though, so even without the pass you'd still pay extra for those luxuries.
Okay you lucky ducks...enjoy your semester living in the "land of smiles" and I'll try to not be too jealous. This is an incredible country to adventure in and I love that this travel pass makes it easier on your wallet so you can really enjoy it all. Good thing you have an entire semester to make sure you see it as much as you can.
Pst: We have a Thailand Destination Guide crammed full of info you might need for your trip!

We also have opportunities to get paid to teach in Thailand if you're a college graduate with ILP teaching experience!

Regeneron CEO Len Schleifer has called its brand-new cancer drug Libtayo "the engine that could." And Wednesday, those wondering, "could what?" got a glimpse at what the PD-1 latecomer has done so far.
Through the first three months of its launch, Libtayo—which Regeneron shares with Sanofi—racked up $15 million in U.S. sales, Regeneron said, thanks in part to what Leerink Partners analyst Geoffrey Porges called "near-complete patient access" in a note to clients. Some 95% of total lives in commercial, Medicare and Medicaid plans have reimbursement coverage for the cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma therapy, he said.
What's more, that $15 million in first-up sales "is demand-driven," commercial chief Marion McCourt said on the company's fourth-quarter earnings call.
Where is the demand coming from? The company is seeing uptake "from some of the most prestigious academic centers," McCourt said, and "secondarily in more community, large hospital settings" with "sophisticated oncology" programs.
"We feel very good about the launch of Libtayo. We're working very hard on it," she added.
Of course, rolling out a product that's the first approved therapy in its indication is one thing—and Libtayo has that distinction in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. But launching in a market dominated by Merck & Co.'s Keytruda, perhaps the industry's hottest up-and-coming therapy, is quite another. And that's exactly what Sanofi and Regeneron are planning to do with Libtayo next. The partners have their eyes on the previously untreated lung cancer arena, which Regeneron R&D chief George Yancopoulos called a "major potential indication for Libtayo."
The thing is, while Libtayo was the sixth drug in its class of PD-1/PD-L1 drugs to hit the scene—behind Keytruda, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo, Roche's Tecentriq, AstraZeneca's Imfinzi and Pfizer and Merck KGaA's Bavencio—Keytruda is still the only drug that bears a monotherapy nodin first-line lung cancer. So "if our ongoing trials succeed, we have the potential to be the second," Yancopoulos pointed out.
And the Libtayo partners have been doing what they can to ensure they've got the data to take on Merck when the time comes: They've doubled the size of their Libtayo-versus-chemo trial in patients with high levels of biomarker PD-L1.
Regeneron is counting on Libtayo to step up as wet age-related macular degeneration competition advances to eye blockbuster Eylea, the drug that first put the company on the map. But it won't be the only new drug chipping in growth for the New York biotech.
"Despite the potential competitive threat of Novartis' RTH258 to Eylea that could emerge later this year, we believe the growth from new indications for Eylea, from Dupixent in asthma and adolescent atopic dermatitis (AD) in the U.S. and from launches in new geographies, and from Libtayo in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), should more than offset the risk of slowing Eylea sales," Leerink's Porges wrote.

The Best & Worst Age Ranges For You To Date Based On Your Own Age, According To Research
Dating can be difficult, no matter your age, so it makes complete and total sense that you might want to know if there are some things that can make it a little bit easier, as well as what those things might be. As it turns out, some research says that the age difference between you and your partner might be one of those things that can make dating easier or more difficult, depending on how large or small it is. Knowing the best and worst age ranges for you to date, based on your own age, ultimately won't decisively dictate if your relationship is successful or not, but having an idea of what sort of age range might have the largest positive or negative effect on the outcome of your relationship is interesting nonetheless (and might help you know what sort of things to expect).
Every couple is different. While some might not be able to handle a large age gap (there are certainly some challenges that come along with them), others might thrive under those sort of circumstances. But this is actually an area that curious researchers have studied and looked into, to try to get a better grasp on dating and relationship habits and preferences, as well as to learn more about possible predictors of relationship success. Whether you're the same age, older, or younger than your partner, there might be something that science says about your relationship based on how far apart in age the two of you actually are.
1. Best: Same Age Or A One Year Gap
Though many couples have an age gap of some sort, there are also a number of couples who are the same age or have a very modest one-year age difference. A 2014 study from researchers at Emory University found that couples who have a one year age gap have a three percent higher change of their marriage ending in divorce than couples who are the same age. Additionally, as Business Insider reported, in his book, Dataclysm, OKCupid co-founder Christian Rudder noted that though heterosexual male OKCupid members say that they're more attracted to younger women, they're also more likely to reach out to women around their own age.
2. Best: Five Years
Five year age differences between partners aren't super uncommon, nor do they seem to fall under the definition of a large age gap. That being said, in the previously-mentioned study from Emory University, researchers found that couples who had this slightly larger age difference between them were also slightly more likely to divorce — 18 percent more than those who are the same age, as The Atlantic reported.
3. Worst: 10 Years
For some people, a 10-year age difference between two partners feels like the upper limits of what they think they'd want in a relationship, while for other people, that's still pretty modest. Still, once you move into the 10-year range, your risk of the relationship ending again might increase. The aforementioned Emory University study found that once your age difference gets closer to 10 years, you have about a 39 percent higher chance of your marriage ending in divorce.
Again, not all couples who are 10 years apart in age will have this experience. Ultimately, the success of your relationship depends on many different factors.
4. Depends On Your Circumstances: "Half Your Age, Plus Seven"
When someone asks about the minimum age of a person they can date without it being weird or creepy, the old, standard advice often given is "half your age, plus seven," and no younger. In a post that she wrote for Psychology Today's website, Dr. Theresa E DiDonato, PhD, said that a 2001 study published in Evolution and Human Behavior found that, in terms of dating and relationships, heterosexual men's preferences generally align with this rule, but that heterosexual women actually preferred partners older than the bare minimum dictated by the "half your age, plus seven" rule.
Since people, for better or for worse, tend to have opinions about couples with large age differences, it might seem like a good guideline, but it can also result in couples with age differences that are larger than some people would feel comfortable with. Though the way the outside world sees your relationship doesn't dictate exactly how it will go or how successful it will be, outside pressures can, in fact, weigh on some relationships.
5. Worst: 20 Years
As you might expect, a 20-year age difference can present a number of challenges for a couple. Still, some couples make it work. But, as the previously-mentioned study from Emory researchers found, the likelihood that your marriage will end in divorce if you're about 20 years apart in age is about 95 percent higher than if you're the same age. For some couples, that feels quite daunting, but for others, the potential risk that the relationship will end, regardless of how large that risk may be, is worth it for the relationship that you have in the meantime.
6. It's Harder To Tell: Someone Younger
An April 2018 paper published in the Journal of Popular Economics found that people who marry younger partners are initially happier, but that that happiness and satisfaction in their relationship doesn't always last, particularly if the age difference is large. It also found that couples with large age gaps might be less "resilient" when facing financial and economic obstacles when compared with couples close in age.
It's important to stress, again, that statistics and real life are different things and that just because you and your partner have a large age difference that doesn't mean that your relationship won't last. Each couple is different, like each person is different, and the way that the two of you relate to each other, the values and goals that you share, and the like can all, of course, play a very significant role in your ultimate relationship outcome.

Her sire, Hands Of A Hero, is a multiple World/National/NSBA Champion in Hunter Under Saddle, Hunter In Hand and Over Fences, as well as Silver Medallion Producer in his first foal crop of 4 foals!
I expect that Grace will mature at 16-1+ hands and will be an incredible Hunter Under Saddle, In Hand and Over Fences prospect. She will also be eligible for the color class futurities, offering more opportunity to compete and win!
And lest you hadn't notice, Grace also has AMAZING color with the perfect amount of BLING!!

The Longest Running Car Has Travelled the Distance to the Moon 13 Times! Here's How Irv Gordon Keeps His Car Running…and Here's How WE Do It
Irv Gordon, now a retired school teacher, fell in love at first sight with his Volvo P1800 the moment he saw a photo of it in Road & Track in 1966. After buying it new, he only had US$50 left to his name. He certainly has gotten mileage out of the US$4,150 he plonked down for the stylish touring car: as at 7 May 2018, the car has travelled 3,250,257 miles, the longest any car has ever done.
And when you start with a car you really like, you'll take care of it. When interviewed by The Telegraph for maintenance tips, Gordon said, "If there is the one activity that will extend the life of your car's engine, this is it." And that "it" is changing the oil and filter regularly. He changes the oil of his Volvo P1800 every 3,500 miles—which he has done every two weeks in the last 10 years, and often by himself—while the rest of the service still follows the owner's manual.
Gordon also added that using the same oil "assures uniform quality". HOWEVER, we must point out that he is sponsored by Castrol, so follow this piece of advice at your own discretion. It certainly wouldn't harm your engine to use oils of different brands, as long as they adhere to the grade/specs listed in the owner's manual.
Spend a few minutes a week checking under the hood, Gordon recommends. Even if you are "mechanically challenged", you should be able to check fluid levels and state of belts and hoses. If there are funny noises, get it checked immediately because "the longer you wait, the greater the potential for damage."
Gordon has rebuilt the Volvo's engine twice: the first was at 680,000 miles in 1978 and the second at 2.7 million miles in 2011. Both times were more a preventative measure than real necessity, and was serviced by the same dealer who sold him the car. The parts, Gordon claims, showed no tear. A good relationship with both dealer and mechanic is important; Gordon describes them as "partners in the long run."
Besides that, Gordon advises using petrol from busier stations (so that the petrol has not been stored too long), regular washing and waxing, and using original parts.
Here is where we segue into another additional tip from us to extend the life of your car. As we learn from Gordon's example, the secret to the longevity of our vehicle is really not so secret: regular maintenance. But, to be honest, even we cannot keep up with Gordon's level of dedication.
So, to help us, we need an added dose of "vitamins" to the regular maintenance. Our sponsor, X-1R, has formulated a treatment that contains Injector Cleaner, Power Booster, Valve Protector, Upper Cylinder Lubricant, Carbon Eliminator, Moisture Eliminator and Fuel Stabiliser, plus Strong Detergents and Deposits Control Agents. These "vitamins" in a bottle will clean and keep clean the entire fuel delivery system and combustion chamber. Here's how:

It even says "BMW" on the side 😀
Its literally got the BMW G450X motor in it. It keeps the concentric countershaft sprocket. The big differences from the G are a linkage-ed rear suspension and a cradle frame with front downtubes. It uses Kayaba suspension front and back, as opposed to the Ohlins/Marzocci combo on the G. Hydraulic clutch on the Husky :wink

Its pretty much spelled out here, although This article makes it sound like they're going to incorporate the concentric countershaft sprocket:
Munich/Cassinetta. The 2010 season will see BMW Motorrad Motorsport lining up in the E2 class of the FIM Enduro World Championship under the name "BMW Husqvarna Motorsport". The reason for signing up with the FIM under this new name is to achieve a targeted pooling of off-road racing expertise by the two brands BMW Motorrad and Husqvarna Motorcycles in the area of 450 cc four-stroke engines. The aim is to set up an ideal knowledge transfer through this sporting involvement, while at the same time optimising the team's performance.
Rainer Thoma, President and CEO of Husqvarna Motorcycles, explains: "In order to achieve sustainable economic as well as sporting success, it is essential to exploit synergies as best we can. That is why we are now collaborating intensively with our colleagues at BMW Motorrad. We are pooling the enormous expertise of both brands: know-how from BMW Motorrad will flow to Husqvarna and vice-versa."
The BMW Husqvarna Motorsport team is set to live up to this target: it will be entering the season with the BMW G 450 X under the team management of Speedbrain. In parallel with this, over the course of the season Husqvarna Motorcycles will be working together with specialists from BMW Motorrad and Speedbrain to develop a machine based on the Husqvarna frame/chassis concept and coupled with the 450 cc four-stroke engine developed by BMW Motorrad. Following extensive trials, the team plans to deploy the motorcycle in the ongoing event.
BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director Berthold Hauser adds: "Our goal is clear: with the BMW Husqvarna Motorsport team we intend to compete for the title in the E2 class of the 2010 Enduro World Championship. Our E2 class runner-up result in the drivers' and manufacturers' championship, our win in the Red Bull Romaniacs and many more triumphs and podium places around the world bear witness to the potential of the BMW G 450 X concept and the team's outstanding work in the season just past. Our joint involvement in enduro racing now provides the ideal platform on which to test how an authentic Husqvarna with the BMW G 450 X drive concept acquits itself in the competitive arena."
Team Husqvarna CH Racing will continue to run in the E1 and E3 class of the FIM Enduro World Championship. The Supermoto and Motocross segments will also remain under the Husqvarna banner.January 16, 2010 at 4:05 am #61880
May 22 we're going to find out.January 16, 2010 at 4:05 am #58820
Chceck out this from Juha Salminen's website: translated from Finnish:
Enduro motorcycle racing World Series 2-in class is becoming a priority during the Finnish perspective really interesting, when the species sevenfold champion Juha Salminen is joined by Honda, the last two titles of the smallest class to have exported over Mika Ahola.
Heck brings a new color of the Finno-Salminen BMW teammate, in a large range previously competed Marko Tarkkala.
– The finding of a pattern is that the BMW and Husqvarna enduro action is connected, and when my bet is Tarkkalan the second class. At the same time the team will be renamed. S. It is the next season, the BMW Motorsport Husqvarna, Salminen confirms.
Tarkkalan situation is very recent.
. – I got only two days ago informed that the next time period, 2-class.
Technology from BMW and Husqvarna frame
Salminen and Tarkkala took over last year, BMW ranks, launching wheel of development in practice from the beginning.
– In recent years work has not gone far away. On the contrary, even if this revenue to the new bike is sort of "hybrid", now if such a word can be used. . We already have a 450-cc engine there from BMW, Husqvarna and is placed in the future to a new body, "says Salminen.
Tarkkala confirm the same.
– We do not need to go into a new bike with far tance. And although the body must therefore from Italy, so we continue to headquarters in Rosenheim, Germany.
. Salminen and Tarkkala leaving to train in the beginning of February is likely to Italy, where they have access to even the current wheels. Wheels, all of whom moved to brand new technology.
-. – I do not know yet in detail, when the heads come to Italy, Husqvarna basis for a new malt factory, but I think it is time for industry to be in these keys. While this is possible in this situation that we drive the first World Cup championship in this current pyörällämme yet, says the last two years Right-class offset by the silver medal Salminen.
World Series, but also the Spanish championship series racing Salminen says that he got the wind of time last summer, so the new design does not come as a surprise to him, certainly not.

Mark Hummel and his Blues Survivors
By Phil Reser
Blues Success
January 2019
Story by Phil Reser
Photos courtesy of Mark Hummel
LONG-TIME BANDLEADER, Mark Hummel recalls taking up an interest in blues harp and rock-blues music while in high school. "I listened to Jimi (Hendrix), Cream, Big Brother and The Holding Company, Blue Cheer, all those blues-based bands of the '60s," says Hummel, a Grammy nominated blues music award-winning harmonica player, vocalist and songwriter. "Those guys were riffing on the original songs only I didn't realize it until I looked at the writer credits. That's when I really got interested in the blues."
He checked out blues albums at the library. "Once I got hold of the originals, they made the rock versions seem a whole lot less to me," he says. "I think the originals just have more power. All of a sudden a whole new world opened up for me."
Hummel invested time into playing the harp and started playing the instruments in bands when he was about 14. "I got hooked up with all kinds of different blues folks," he says. "It was an exciting time because blues was still blues in the ghetto clubs in Oakland, Berkeley and Richmond. I was usually only one of maybe a couple of white guys in there playing those joints; it was an exciting time for the blues."
At age 18, he decided to pursue a career in blues music and started his band, the Blues Survivors, in 1977.
By 1984, he began a life of one-stop touring of the United States, Canada and Europe, sharing the stage with the likes of Charles Brown, Charlie Musselwhite, Lazy Lester, Brownie McGhee, Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Rogers.
With more than 30 blues recordings, including the Grammy-nominated 2013 release "Remembering Little Walter," Hummel is considered one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation.
"I've always tried to do a cross section of tempos and styles in my music – fast songs, slow songs, medium ones, rhumbas, boogaloos, shuffles, flat tires, Chicago Blues, West Coast Jump, Texas Blues Swing, New Orleans R&B, country delta blues, soul music and some funky beats thrown in here and there," he says.
He put together the first Blues Harmonica Blowout in 1991 at Ashkenaz, a live music and dance venue in Berkeley. Each player performed a 20- to 30-minute set and everyone jammed together with Hummel's Blues Survivor band backing them up. "We had about 200 people show up for the first event. You never heard much blues harp on the radio back then, except maybe Blues Traveler, who weren't exactly blues."
Over the next five years, the Blowout grew to become a multi-venue event around California. By 2000, it was headlining Yoshi's in Oakland as a four-night show with Rod Piazza, Kim Wilson, Rick Estrin, James Harman and Billy Branch.
The 2019 Annual Blues Harmonica Blowout (28th year) is headlined by Bobby Rush, the 2017 Grammy winner for Best Traditional Blues Album; Grammy-nominated Kenny Neal; Alabama harp-man/vocalist/songwriter James Harman; New Orleans favorite Johnny Sansone; and Mark Hummel's Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue, featuring Anson Funderburg.
About his more than 40 years in the music business, Hummel says, "I try to follow the older black bluesmen's example: Just play the blues and everything else will usually work out. If it doesn't, put it in a song. To me, the blues is a long, hard road and nobody said it would be easy, make you a lot of money, super stardom or anything else. All I ever wanted was to make an OK living at this. The blues is experience in life, through hard times and good times – you can't play or sing
without both. You have to have struggled in some way. I'm always trying to improve myself and make peace with myself and others.
The blues can do that through understanding. It's certainly what the older African American greats were singing about when they said, 'Times Won't Be Hard Always' or 'The Sun's Gonna Shine In My Backdoor Someday'."

BALTIMORE (AP) — The reshaping of the Baltimore Orioles took another significant turn Friday when longtime center fielder Adam Jones was moved to right field to make room for rookie Cedric Mullins.
Jones has started in center for Baltimore since his arrival in 2008. The 33-year-old played the position well enough this year, but the last-place Orioles are ready to try someone younger and faster in the middle of the outfield.
Manager Buck Showalter called Jones "one of the great center fielders in Oriole history," but said the 12-year veteran has known for a while that the switch was coming.
"It had to be the right guy," Showalter said. "We think Cedric might be the right guy."
The 23-year-old Mullins had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk and was immediately inserted into the starting lineup against Boston. He was to play center field and bat ninth in his big league debut.
This is not a one-day experiment.
"Adam will play right and Cedric will play center. That's the way I perceive it," Showalter said. "If something happens with Cedric, we'll see. If something happens with Adam, well, I hope nothing does."
He added: "This is about the future going forward."
Jones' contract expires after this season. The Orioles attempted to send him to another team before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, but Jones had the right of refusal and used it.
Now, he will play out the season in right field while helping Mullins adjust to playing center in the big leagues.
"Him being the team leader, he's been very supportive with me playing center field," Mullins said. "We've had a lot of contact about it and just guiding me through it."
Mullins was selected by Baltimore in the 13th round of the 2015 draft. He started the year with Double-A Bowie before moving up to Norfolk.
In 59 games with Norfolk, he hit .267 with five homers, 18 RBIs and 12 steals. Mullins also carried a .994 fielding percentage.
Mullins played in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League with the Utica Brewers in the summer of 2014 following his sophomore year at Louisburg College. He transferred from the junior college to Campbell University and signed with the Orioles following the draft the following June. While in Utica, Mullins batted .287 and scored 34 runs in 41 games, starting 37, and stole 22 bases in 26 attempts.
To make room for Mullins, the Orioles designated Danny Valencia for assignment — yet another move to make the team younger. The 33-year-old Valencia was batting .263 with nine homers and 28 RBIs.
"I'd be surprised if he doesn't land with a contending club," Showalter said.

Sealed 1973 Die-Cut Cover LP With Custom Card Inner Sleeve. Clean Cut Out Hole. Label Variation Unknown. Features David Crosby, Bonnie Raitt And Others. First Sealed Copy We Have Seen In Four Years. "Jackson Browne Faced The Nearly Insurmountable Task Of Following A Masterpiece In Making His Second Album. Having Cherry-Picked Years Of Songwriting The First Time Around, He Turned To Some Of His Secondary Older Material, Which Was Still Better Than Most People's Best And, Ironically, More Accessible — Notably Such Songs As "These Days," Which Had Been Covered Six Times Already, Dating Back To Nico's Chelsea Girl Album In 1967, And "Take It Easy," A Co-Composition With The Eagles' Glenn Frey That Had Been A Top 40 Hit For The Group In 1972. Browne Unsuccessfully Looked For Another Hit Single With The Up-Tempo "Red Neck Friend," Reminisced About Meeting His Wife And Starting A Family In The Coy "Ready Or Not," And, At The End, Finally Came Up With A New Song To Rank With Those On The First Album In The Philosophical Title Track, Which Reportedly Was His More Positive Reply To Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Wooden Ships." (David Crosby Sang Harmony.) Musically, The Album Was Still Restrained, But Not As Austere As Jackson Browne, As The Singer Had Hooked Up With Multi-Instrumentalist David Lindley, Who Would Introduce Interesting Textures To His Music On A Variety Of Stringed Instruments For The Next Several Years."

If you own or run a company, you will more than likely be familiar with a PBX (private branch exchange) phone system. This local phone network allows your workers/employees access to phone calls while sharing a few external company phone lines or numbers. In other words, customers calling your company's phone number can be quickly routed to the proper agents or branches within your company.Obviously, having an efficient PBX phone system is crucial to the operation of any company – big or small. Therefore, choosing and implementing any PBX should be taken seriously because your decision can often determine how successful your company will become in the future.
With competition getting fiercer in almost all business sectors, it is critically important for a business enterprise to have an efficient communication system for it to stay and survive and grow. After studying various phone systems available in the market, it can be said without fear of contradiction that a hosted PBX virtual phone service is the best option for small and midsize business houses to optimally meet their communication needs.The hosted virtual PBX solution offers you numerous useful features compared to the old hardware based systems and more than that, it enables you to save a lot of money. Yet another huger benefit of virtual PBX system is that you need not invest in costly equipment and the maintenance and support is the responsibility of the service provider.
In recent years, many company owners and managers are opting for a virtual PBX system. These are VOIP (voice over IP) phone systems which operate on the web. It is often referred to as "Cloud" services because these programs are hosted by remote providers – far removed from one's base of operation.Why are companies opting for this virtual solution? Perhaps, the over-riding reason has to do with the major benefits using a virtual phone exchange gives any company. These are discussed in some detail below, and if you're considering a virtual PBX system they are probably worth knowing.
1. Total Integration
Let's face it; we have become a totally mobile computer obsessed world – one that is completely connected every second of every day. Total integration of your company into this mobile connected world is the only way to proceed. Using a virtual PBX system will fully integrate your company's operations into this wireless environment and synchronize all your operations with your computer network.
2. Quick Set-up Or Installation
Installation or set-up is almost instant as there are no landlines or hardware to install. The common use of cell phones, mobile tablets/laptops makes setting up a Virtual PBX system quite painless. While many virtual phone providers do supply special VOIP phones your company can use, but depending on the size of your operation, your current smartphones and computers may suffice.
3. Cheaper Costs With One Monthly Payment
Virtual phone systems usually cost less than traditional ones – especially when you consider the expense of installation and ongoing maintenance of a landline system. There is one low monthly payment, and long-distance calls will be cheaper over a VOIP system.
4. Completely Scalable
A virtual phone system is completely scalable – you can add lines or numbers within seconds. This factor is important if your company is growing quickly and you want to keep costs to a minimum.
5. Location Independence
With a web-based phone service, you and your workers have complete access regardless of where they are located. This location independence means your company is no longer limited to one location. Also, it means customers can reach your company 24/7, 365 days of the year.
6. Flexible
These virtual phone numbers are very flexible when it comes to call management. There are many options including voice mail, direct routing or even a virtual secretary if you're operating on a small budget.
7. Convenience
Again, having a web-based system will offer much more convenience since you and your workers are no longer restricted to one location. Calls can be accessed from anywhere at any time, so this offers great convenience to your workers.
8. Enhance Customer Interaction
Virtual systems can offer greater enhanced customer interaction especially if they are set-up properly where a customer is quickly directed to the right service or employee that can solve their problem or issue within minutes.
9. Internet Fax
Most of these virtual phone providers also offer Internet or online fax as an additional feature that can be a major benefit for companies. Online faxing is portable, convenient, flexible and much cheaper than traditional faxing methods.
10. Competitiveness
Competitiveness is a major benefit that should be considered by any company opting for a virtual or cloud solution to their phone network operations. Any owner will have to consider if having a phone system that is mobile, scalable, flexible, convenient, cost-efficient and totally integrated into the web will simply make your company more competitive?

USB Over Current Notice error
Hi mates,
I have a Apple MacBook with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3 MB on-chip shared L2 cache with 2 GB (two 1 GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4 GB.
I got this error message while I was working on it.
USB Over Current Notice. A USB device is currently drawing too much power. The hub it is attached to has been deactivated.
I clicked on 'OK' and a while later, the same error message came up. At the time I had my Kingston 4 GB pen drive plugged in , as I was saving the work I did on it. When the error came up again on the screen, I unplugged the pen drive and restarted the computer. But still the error message keeps appearing on the screen.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Please share your views.
Thank you.

The future of China-Taiwan relations
Is Taiwan so economically tied to China that unification is imminent? Or has its new identity become so ingrained that de jure independence is only a matter of time? These questions are playing out in Taiwanese politics ahead of some crucial nationwide elections. A sudden move by China (military attack) or Taiwan (declaration of independence) remains unlikely, partly because of the crucial role the U.S. plays in maintaining the status quo.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PlayStation 3) review
"When I was first writing this review and looking for the proper score to this game, Gamefaqs was really helpful. Right there, under 5, it said "playable, nothing special about it." And that's exactly the feeling I was left with after playing MGS4. Now, first of all, you should know where I'm coming from as a reviewer and gamer. I love the MGS series. Or rather, I love the oddly numbered games in the series. I personally think that MGS1 and MGS3 stand among the few perfect games out there. An exc..."

Message from the Chair
Aerospace and mechanical engineers design and build unique, complex mechanical-optical-electronic (mechoptronic) systems, ranging in scale from the International Space Station (102 m) to microscale electric generators and pumping systems (< 10-3 m). During the last half-century the capabilities of mechoptronic systems have expanded to near-Earth, planetary, and interplanetary space. There has been a parallel inward extension to the ocean depths, far underground, and deep inside the intricacies of human bodies. A broad range of engineering science research is critical to developing novel, complex mechoptronic systems. As a consequence, aerospace and mechanical engineers conduct extensive basic and applied research within and crossing their usual disciplinary boundaries, while also synthesizing research from many other disciplines such as biology and computer science.
At USC, the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME) Department's faculty has adopted several Strategic Themes to help guide the directions and enrich the contents of our education and research programs, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. These can be found under Research Areas.
Descriptions of our educational programs can be accessed under Academics.
In addition, the Department actively supports several design/build student projects that include volunteers from all undergraduate years, along with graduate students and faculty mentors. Among these projects are: a competition airplane, competition cars, and a competition hyperloop pod, and a human powered vehicle. These and other student groups can be found under Current Students. Also, a yearlong senior projects laboratory course facilitates access to our faculty's research for interested serious undergraduate scholars. Undergraduate Merit Research scholars from all years have an opportunity to participate in the AME faculty's research through a program supported by the School of Engineering.
Welcome to the AME web site! During your visit I believe you will discover the enthusiasm that we have for the disciplines of aerospace and mechanical engineering and educational opportunities offered to students in the AME Department

With the 52nd overall selection in the 2018 MLB Draft, the Blue Jays have made Duke right-fielder Griffin Conine their second round pick
Toronto adds to its collection of drafting and signing the sons of former major league players. Former Florida Marlins first basemen, Jeff Conine, is the father of this soon to be new Blue Jay prospect. But unlike first rounder, Jordan Groshans, Conine was similarly ranked in various draft boards and was not considered a reach. The Duke outfielder was the 43rd ranked player on the FanGraphs board and 50th on MLB Pipeline, Baseball America and Keith Law's board.
MLB Pipeline Scouting Grades:
Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50
Conine is projected by all experts to have plus power. Coming into 2018 after a strong performance in the Cape Cod League, many thought coming that he had a good chance to be selected in the first round. However, after a rough start to his junior season at Duke his stock plummeted. A late surge allowed him to make it back on the radar of many experts. MLB Pipeline says "he's still one of the better power hitters available in the 2018 Draft, capable of driving the ball out to all fields thanks to his bat speed and the loft he generates with his left-handed swing." The consensus is when he hits the ball, he hits it hard.
On the other hand, there is concern with his swing as Keith Law wrote "…his season strikeout rate of 24.9 percent is still alarming for a corner outfielder whose bat is his carrying tool." As FanGraphs noted he has high exit velocities but "is out of sorts this spring, selling out for power and not making much contact." Baseball America commented on his struggles "to make contact with offspeed offerings of varying quality, frequently expanding his zone and swinging over the top of pitches below the strike zone." So clearly there are tools there, but some things that the slugger will need to work on to reach the big leagues.
Defensively, Conine profiles as a good right field candidate with good arm strength. He does not have a lot of speed, but as MLB Pipeline says "even with modest quickness, he's a sound defender on the outfield corners." With his power, that's a solid profile

If you wait long enough, the Lawfare actors brazenly expose their intents. Cue the example today as former SDNY U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara showcases the ideology behind the DOJ and FBI weaponizing their offices based on political policy differences.
It has been outlined that President Trump would prefer to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. Trump's view stems from NATO allies (Germany) engaging with NATO adversaries (Russia) with strategic energy policy (gas pipeline) to benefit Russia; while simultaneously demanding the U.S. taxpayer fund the defense of Germany (and EU) from Russia.
In response to reports that President Trump may withdraw from NATO, a strategic U.S. policy shift, Preet Bharara demands "impeachment and conviction":
This clear example evidences the mentality within the DOJ and FBI that is becoming more openly obvious. The institutions of the DOJ were/are weaponized, against candidate and president Trump, based on political differences and viewpoints.

A must-read feature from The Atlantic looks into why the state of [pop] music is the way it is…repetitive, monotonous, homogeneous, super loud and compressed and in many cases, super cheesy.
Let's UnPop This: Repetitive Pop Music & The Shazam Effect

It's that time of the year again where big music gets into full swing in Los Angeles in anticipation of the 55th Grammys which are taking place this Sunday, February 10th at the Staples Center. Here are some of the pre-parties, soirees, receptions and after parties going on around LA this week.
1.65 Billion Music Purchases Took Place in 2012
Over 1.65 billion music purchases took place in the U.S. in 2012, an all time high according to a new report just released from Nielsen and Billboard. Physical albums, digital albums and digital songs accounted for the sales figures which are up overall 3.1% from 2011.
The World's Highest Paid Music Makers 2012
Forbes has just announced their list of 'The World's 25 Highest Paid Musicians'. Although they are not all necessarily 'musicians' we get their point and it's no surprise that the U.S. & UK dominated list of top earners is comprised of mostly household names.

PARIS LaPRIEST POWELL, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ROBERT BRADLEY MILLER, Defendant - Appellant.
After his release from death row, Paris LaPriest Powell sued the prosecutor responsible for his overturned conviction, Robert Bradley Miller. Powell charged that Miller had suborned perjury from a key witness at his trial, Derrick Smith; had hidden from the defense evidence of Miller's agreement to help Smith with his own criminal charges; and had failed to disclose the efforts Miller made on Smith's behalf with regard to those charges. Miller filed a motion to dismiss. The district court granted the motion in part, but denied qualified immunity on certain claims. Miller did not appeal the ruling. Years later, Miller filed a motion to reconsider the denial of qualified immunity. The district court denied that motion as well. Miller now appeals from the denial of his motion to reconsider.
Because we lack appellate jurisdiction over the district court's order denying Miller's motion to reconsider, we dismiss Miller's appeal.
* * *
A summary of the procedural posture of the case provides context. In 2010, Powell filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against Miller and other defendants, alleging the defendants violated his constitutional rights in connection with Powell's 1997 murder conviction. In this case and a companion case involving Powell's co-defendant, Yancey Lyndell Douglas, Miller moved to dismiss the claims asserted against him in his individual capacity based on various defenses, including qualified immunity. The district court denied Miller's qualified immunity defense as to "Miller's post-trial actions in which he did not act as an advocate for the State and was no longer employed as a prosecutor, including his alleged wrongful efforts on behalf of Derrick Smith." App. Vol. 2 at 413.
Nearly three years later, on October 26, 2015, Miller filed his "Motion for Rehearing of Defendant Robert Bradley Miller in His Individual Capacity and Brief in Support." App. Vol. 5 at 1206. In the motion, Miller sought reconsideration of the district court's prior order denying him qualified immunity. The district court denied Miller's motion because he had "presented no substantive basis for the Court to change its opinion." Id. at 1227–28. Miller now appeals the district court's order denying his motion to reconsider.
It is well established that a district court's pretrial denial of a qualified immunity defense, to the extent it turns on an issue of law, is an appealable "final decision" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 530 (1985). But Miller does not appeal from the district court's order denying his qualified immunity defense—that decision was issued in 2013 without appeal. Rather, Miller appeals from the district court's order denying reconsideration of that ruling almost three years later. Under these circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to consider the district court's order denying Miller's motion to reconsider.1
Mitchell does not apply here. In Mitchell, the Supreme Court held that a decision denying qualified immunity, to the extent it turns on an issue of law, "falls within 'that small class [of decisions] which finally determine claims of right separable from, and collateral to, rights asserted in the action, too important to be denied review and too independent of the cause itself to require that appellate consideration be deferred until the whole case is adjudicated.' " Id. at 524-25 (quoting Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 546 (1949)). The Court reasoned that interlocutory orders denying qualified immunity satisfy the three Cohen criteria for immediate appeal because they (1) conclusively determine the disputed question; (2) resolve an important issue separate and collateral to the merits of the underlying action; and (3) are effectively unreviewable from a final judgment. Id. at 525-30.
An order denying reconsideration of the denial of qualified immunity does not, however, by itself satisfy the elements of the collateral order doctrine. As the Second Circuit explained in Lora v. O'Heaney, 602 F.3d 106 (2d Cir. 2010):2
Unlike the substantive ruling on qualified immunity, the determination by the district court whether to reconsider that ruling does not raise important issues of the type allowing interlocutory appeal. The legal question before us on appeal from an order denying reconsideration is whether the district court abused its discretion when denying reconsideration. ․ Denial of reconsideration does not resolve an important issue, but merely resolves whether to revisit an important issue.
Id. at 111-12.
Accordingly, Miller cannot use his motion for reconsideration, filed almost three years after the fact, to resurrect his right to appeal the district court's order denying him qualified immunity. And Miller has failed to make any showing that the order denying his motion to reconsider is otherwise immediately appealable. We note, however, that our conclusion does not affect Miller's right to timely appeal an order denying summary judgment on the defense of qualified immunity. See Behrens v. Pelletier, 516 U.S. 299, 307 (1996) ("Thus, Mitchell clearly establishes that an order rejecting the defense of qualified immunity at either the dismissal stage or the summary judgment stage is a 'final' judgment subject to immediate appeal."); see also Weise v. Casper, 507 F.3d 1260, 1265 (10th Cir. 2007).
Based on the foregoing, we DISMISS Miller's appeal because we lack jurisdiction. Appellant's motion to supplement the appendix is DENIED.
1. We recently encountered a factual situation similar to that in this case: the unappealed denial of qualified immunity, followed by a later purported appeal from the denial of reconsideration. Williams v. Akers, 837 F.3d 1075 (10th Cir. 2016). In Williams, we dismissed the appeal because the appellants' notice of appeal was untimely to appeal the underlying denial of qualified immunity, and they had failed to designate the reconsideration order they belatedly claimed they were appealing from. See id. at 1078-80. Due to that jurisdictional defect, we did not have occasion to discuss the issue here: whether an interlocutory denial of reconsideration was even immediately appealable. Of relevance to this case, however, we emphasized the role of the appellants' appeal from a particular order, rather than from a particular issue. See id. at 1079.
2. Other courts agree that such orders are not immediately appealable. See, e.g., Phillips v. Montgomery Cty., 24 F.3d 736, 738 (5th Cir. 1994) ("[W]e hold that the defendants in this case cannot fail to appeal and then restart the appellate clock by refiling substantially the same motion."); Taylor v. Carter, 960 F.2d 763, 764 (8th Cir. 1992) (dismissing appeal for lack of jurisdiction); Fisichelli v. City Known as Town of Methuen, 884 F.2d 17 (1st Cir. 1989) (reasoning that if courts were required to consider appeals whenever a defendant unsuccessfully asked for reconsideration, "a dilatory defendant would receive not only his allotted bite at the apple, but an invitation to gnaw at will."). Cf. Sinclair v. Schriber, 834 F.2d 103, 105 (6th Cir. 1987) ("[While] Mitchell v. Forsyth has permitted two bites of the appellate apple, at the pleading [stage] and at the discovery stage, it did not contemplate that the underlying finality requirement of Cohen and of section 1291 would be ignored ․").
TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge.

Web initiative to market Jamaican and Caribbean fine art worldwide
It was a the perfect setting, starlight Caribbean skies, cozy ambiance, the beats of the drums resonated in the air to build up the crescendo as Jamaica's premier online web initiative was launched on Wednesday, April 15, 2015.
The gardens at 8 Hillcrest Avenue came alive; as this initiative took centrestage, in a launch event sponsored by Scotia Private Banking Group.
"Osmosis Caribbean is taking Jamaican arts to the next level," said Hon. Julian Robinson, Minister of State in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, in his keynote presentation.
Minister Robinson added that initiatives such as Osmosis Caribbean reaffirm Jamaica's strategic position, as a hub for information technology, nurturing entrepreneurial capacity and taking Brand Jamaica to a global scale.
"I wish this venture all the success," the minister said, adding that this venture will encourage setting up of other e-commerce initiatives in Jamaica.
Mr. Roger Grant, Centre Director, Scotia Private Banking Group, while congratulating the principals of Osmosis Caribbean, reaffirmed his institution's support to the fine arts.
"We at Scotia Bank have always supported arts, being the organizers of Celebration of Arts exhibition, encouraging and nurturing new and emerging talent," Mr. Grant said.
"This is not merely a web initiative," Mr. Grant continued. "Osmosis Caribbean is hallmark of e-commerce and how businesses are conducted in 21st Century."
Unveiling the website, Mr. Amitabh Sharma, creator and the brains behind Osmosis Caribbean, expounded that the genesis of the concept was laid down during his deliberations with Art Gallery Décor VIII. "It is the birth of a new dimension and a new medium for the creative thought process," Mr. Sharma, said, thanking Décor VIII for their support.
"Osmosis Caribbean is an initiative that takes Jamaican and Caribbean fine arts beyond the stereotypical, giving it a international flavor and reach out to the global sphere," Mr. Sharma said.
He further informed the guests that Osmosis Caribbean is a truly indigenous product, having being designed and developed in Jamaica. "This is a representation of Brand Jamaica, and exhibits the top class quality, that is second to none in the world."
The crescendo to the unveiling transcended into a mystical sphere, with the beats of the drums lead by ace drummer and ceramist par excellence, Phillip Supersad.
Osmosis Caribbean will showcase a range of fine art – from the masters to the young and contemporary artists. "What sets us apart is the fact that we would issue certificate of authenticity, personally signed by the artist, along with the artwork purchased," informed Mr. Sharma. "The art enthusiast will not only be assured of investing in a quality artwork but also get a personalized touch with their purchase, which they can cherish for a lifetime."
Osmosis Caribbean wishes to thank their Media Partner Caribbean 360.com, Associated Partner WhittyGordon Projects and has committed its support to Chupse as their outreach partner.
The genesis of this venture was formed around the need to develop and harness an international market for Jamaican and Caribbean Fine Art, and authentic merchandise.
The web initiative, conceptualized by Amitabh Sharma, a media professional, owner of Synapse Communications, a PR Consultancy, along with artists, marketing and technology specialists.
Osmosis, Caribbean's 21st century initiative, will market and sell Jamaican and Caribbean fine art internationally. The venture seeks to converge the artists' creations with technology, offering marketability of their works in the Caribbean and global high-end art marketplace. It is our endeavor to be agent for change.
We will strive, constantly, to spread awareness of Caribbean's art and artists; fulfill the demands of our consumer; and review the best creations in the market. We will provide new products and services; support and contribute to the artists' community by hosting and supporting shows, events; and by promoting the Caribbean as an artist's oasis and destination.
