According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2018 are 1,440.53% higher than average prices throughout 1865. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 1.80% per year during this period, meaning the real value of a dollar decreased.
In other words, $108.25 in 1865 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,667.63 in 2018, a difference of $1,559.38 over 153 years.
The 1865 inflation rate was 3.82%. The inflation rate in 2018 was 2.44%. The 2018 inflation rate is higher compared to the average inflation rate of 1.23% per year between 2018 and 2019.
This chart shows calculation of buying power equivalence, often referred to as "the value of a dollar" over time for $108.25 in 1865 (price index tracking began in 1635).
Inflation can also vary widely by country. For comparison, in the UK £108.25 in 1865 would be equivalent to £13,249.72 in 2018, an absolute change of £13,141.47 and a cumulative change of 12,139.93%.
Compare these numbers to the US's overall absolute change of $1,559.38 and total percent change of 1,440.53%.
CPI is the weighted combination of many categories of spending that are tracked by the government. This chart shows the average rate of inflation for select CPI categories between 1865 and 2018.
$108.25 in 1865 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1,667.63 in 2018.

How long (approximately) is twilight on the Moon?
Answer: 0 seconds. There is no twilight on the Moon! The reason for this is that the Moon does not have any atmosphere. The reason there is something called twilight on Earth is because of light from the Sun that is refracted through the atmosphere. This is the reason why we see red sunsets (because near sunset, the blue light is scattered off dust in the atmosphere and only the red light reaches us), and blue skies (scattering of blue light off dust). In Moon, you will have a black sky and a bright Sun during day time. The Sun will set in the same manner as any star on Earth during night, and once the Sun sets, it will be night on the Moon. There will not be any twilight.

Momma + photographer sharing my story on life, love, and loss.
Yesterday I created a post about starting to make my son, Grayson’s, baby food at home from fresh fruits and vegetables. If you did not have the chance to check it out, you can view that post here. Today I want to share with you the step by step process to making pureed apples for your little one, or you could add all the fixins’ and make some homemade applesauce for yourself!
I was excited to take photos for this post with my new camera! I plan to do a post about it soon! I am so in love with my Canon 70D its unreal! In the meantime enjoy this photos!
1. Put water in pan to steam your apples.
This is how I steam my fruits and vegetables on the stovetop. I put water in the bottom pan and stick the strainer pan on top.
3. Core your apples. Using an actual apple core makes it so much easier!
I really just wanted to eat them as I was preparing them, I may have snuck one!
4. I used a paring knife to peel off the skins of the apple and then dice my apples into small chunks. The smaller the pieces the easier it will be for them to steam and get soft.
5. Let the apples steam in the pan, covered with a lid until you are able to use a fork and press through them until they mash up.
Just wait until they start cooking and you take the lid off, amazing!
6. Once they are steamed toss the apples into a blender/ food processor. Our blender has a puree button as shown below. I added a little water to the apples to give them a more smooth/thin consistency.
This is such a quick way to puree.
7. Once to the consistency you like you can pour them into a silicon tray. I let them cool a little before I stick the lid on the tray and pop them in the freezer.
I love this silicon tray which I purchased at Buy Buy Baby. I need to get another one!
8. I normally let the tray sit in the freezer over night to make sure the food is completely frozen. The next day I will pop them out of the tray and place them in a freezer bag labeled with the food name and the date they were made.
Happy 2nd Birthday Graysie Girl!

Welcome to Grass Valley, California!
Centrally located, Grass Valley is where Highway 20 and Highway 49 merge. To the east one finds the highly ranked Nevada County Fairgrounds. Empire Mine State Park is must see for those wanting to get the flavor of the mining era. Downtown Grass Valley has just finished its two year reconstruction refurbishment. One will not be disappointed with as you stroll along the new sidewalks and admire the new face-lift. Sierra College, in Placer County, has extended its campus to Grass Valley offering a diverse cirrocumuli for the new student, retiree or person desiring a career enhancement. Various parcel sizes can be found in the area. Elevation ranges from 2000′ to 4200′.

The arterioles (small arteries) leading to an organ, constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To shut down an organ, blood flow is reduced naturally to 1.00% of its original value. By what factor did the radii of the arterioles constrict? Penguins do this when they stand on ice to reduce the blood flow to their feet.
This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. So clever penguins constrict their blood vessels leading to their feet in order to reduce the blood flow to the feet and reduce heat loss. So, we're told that they're going to have a reduction in flow rate to one percent of what it was before. So after constricting their blood vessels, the volume flow rate Q two will be 0.01 times the original volume flow rate Q one. Now Q two over Q one is going to be the change in pressure times pi, times the radius in the second case to the power of four, divided by eight times viscosity times length of their blood vessel. We're going to divide Q two by Q one and I'm going to multiply by the reciprocal of Q one. So times by eight n l over delta p pi r one to the power of four. The only factor that require a subscript are the factors that change between the two scenarios. The only thing that's changing is the radius of the blood vessel and so only the radii need subscripts. Everything else cancels. So, we're left with r two to the four over r one to the four is Q two over Q one. Q two over Q one is 0.01. So that means r two to the four over r one to the four equals 0.01 and that means the ratio r two to r one which is the fourth root of both sides here, or you could say exponent one quarter, is going to be 0.01 to the power of one quarter. So r two over r one is 0.316. So r two changes by a factor of 0.316 compared to radius one.

Day 3 of the Tokyo Filmex festival.
Anti Gas Skin must certainly be the strangest film in the current Filmex, and is one of the oddest films I have seen in a while. A killer is terrorizing Seoul. Or it may be killers, as the always-present gas mask obscures their identity. The press plays up the fact that the victims are always wearing blue. A teenage death cult arises, wearing matching blue sweatshirts and charting the killers previous crimes on a map of the city so they can predict where the next strike will be so they can be in the right place at the right time. The unquestioned leader of the cult is a pretty teenage girl who has a thick, scraggly beard that goes right up to her eyelids. Her hirsute condition is never explained, and only mentioned once, and then ignored. Although in a few scene, the beard is totally absent. She is also the daughter of a powerful military officer who shares a bed with her. Meanwhile, an American marine, whose fiancée was one of the victims of the killer, teams up with an English-speaking policewoman who helps him seek out the killer, and they give into their physical attraction to each other in the bedroom of the dead fiancée. He is a Travis Bickle for the 21st century, snarling to startled strangers on the street “you don’t understand anything!” In yet another storyline, an aging politician is campaigning for the Seoul mayoral race, and his wife insists that he wear his lucky necktie, which is off course blue. He is followed everywhere by gas-mask wearing stalkers, and takes to carrying around a spare mask of his own. As much as one might expect that these separate storylines would come together at the end, they never really do.
But a simple plot summary cannot really express how odd this film really is, as much of the oddness comes from unconventional pacing, a seeming mixture of reality and dreams or fantasy, which little to indicate which is which, and a pervasive, unsettling mood which is present in every scene.

The Legend of the "Woodbooger"
If walking the gravel footpath to the Flag Rock Overlook in Flag Rock Recreation Area, you can't miss the giant statue of a Bigfoot-like creature located just beyond the parking area.
Known locally as the "Woodbooger," the city erected the statue and Norton City Council designated the recreation area a "Woodbooger Sanctuary" following a visit by Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot TV show. In 2011, the show spent a week in Southwest Virginia filming an episode that features scenes from High Knob, as well as Washington County, Damascus, and Saltville. Click here for more information on that episode.
Since then, the city has embraced this mythical creature, with local businesses selling "Woodbooger" merchandise and the establishment of the "Woodbooger Festival." The festival is held each fall in Flag Rock Recreation Area. Visit the festival's website for more information.
A geocaching event inspired by the Woodbooger, known as the Woodbooger GeoTrail, is also held each September. The event challenges participants to find caches hidden in Flag Rock Recreation Area and surrounding communities.

Your Credit Cards Are Paid Off, Now How Do You Stay Out of Debt?
One of the fun parts of having a blog is being able to see the search terms that people use to find whatever it is they are looking for. Some of them are quite comical. My two recent favorites have been Wow, I paid off my cat and Do snakes smell like burnt rubber. Why on earth those landed here, I’ll never know, but I do know that by and large my biggest search term is related to paying off credit card debt. My most popular post is my story of paying off over $30,000 in credit card debt. Obviously, there are lots of folks out there who are struggling to pay off their credit cards. I think there are tons of resources to help you with that plan, but how do you stay out of debt once you have paid it off?
I have another secret confession. The amount of debt we paid off over the past two years is not cumulative. There were two other times in years past when we paid off our credit cards. Once, we paid off $8,000, and another time, it was $12,000. Early on, we knew credit card debt was not a great habit, but after we paid off our balances on those occasions, we ran them up again. Why can’t people stay out of credit card debt?
I’ve Got All Kinds of Money!
I think when we reach a major goal like paying off credit card debt, it is usually through some struggle and sacrifice. You’ve cut out all unnecessary spending to focus on a goal. After the payment is gone, you suddenly find yourself with more money in your pocket. Advertisers and society try to rope you into spending it. People may tell you to reward yourself, or you only live once. Almost every business offers financing. How many people do you know who struggle with finances and then go out and buy a new car?
Spending is like any other vice. Maybe there isn’t a surgeon general’s warning at the cash register, but if you think worrying over paying bills doesn’t affect your health, then I’ve got some beach front property in Colorado I want to sell you. If you aren’t ready to change your thinking and habits, you’ll never get out of debt. It’s just like losing weight or quitting smoking, you have to have good reasons and be ready to change. If you do it because someone told you to or because you think it’s temporary, you’ll never succeed.
Make Sure You’re on the Same Page as Your Partner- If you’re in a relationship, you don’t have to agree on everything, but you need to have the same basic goals about money. Glen at Monster Piggy Bank mentioned a couple who each spend money as fast as they can so the other one can’t get to it. It reminds me of the circus act where the guy has multiple plates spinning, and it gets harder and harder to keep them all in motion. This lifestyle might work when the money is rolling in, but if it stops, all the spinning plates come tumbling down. If you and your significant other are never going to be on the same page, it might be best to cut your losses.
Surround Yourself with Like Minded People- Sadly, your friends and family might not understand or support your quest to be debt free. They might even be jealous if they have debt problems themselves. It’s much easier to knock someone off their pedestal than climb up to join them. Trying to quit drinking while hanging out at the bar makes it that much harder to stay sober. Likewise, if you continue to hang out with your friends who continue to spend money, you will be tempted to pull out the credit card. If you can’t find people who share your ideas, look online. I’ve been thankful to find a great community of financially savvy people who are striving for similar goals.
Follow the Golden Financial Rules- Really, they work for any income and any amount of debt. Some people might need longer than others, but if you follow a few simple rules, it is possible to stay debt free.
Evaluate every purchase as a want versus a need, and don’t buy wants unless they add value to your life. If you lack will power, stay away from the stores or don’t look online.
Start saving for emergencies so you won’t have to use credit if something goes wrong.
While these rules are simple, they do involve some major life changes for lifelong spenders. If you are used to having a new car every three years, you might have to learn to love an older vehicle. If you pay too much in rent, you might have to move. You might have to tell your children that they don’t need the latest gadget. You might not be popular. What you will be is debt free, and that gives you all the choices that making credit card payments never will.
Tell the truth, have you ever paid off your credit cards only to find yourself back in debt? What is the biggest reason people can’t stay out of debt?
I think the main reason is when you see you have a high limit on your card and a $0 balance. Using 5% of that limit feels like it won’t hurt, then it builds up slowly. I would reduce the limit on the card to whatever I spend monthly, to make sure there is no space for charging more.
It’s really funny how the credit card companies raise your limit when you get close. We always got letters raising them. I never thought to lower them.
I guess the main benefit of having paid off your credit cards before is that you know how to do it. Some people get so lost and never end up getting ahead.
Lucky we were able to pay them off. If we’d gotten sick or lost a job, we could have lost everything.
I think for me, a big part of not carrying credit card debt can be attributed to the fact that I don’t actually know my credit limits. I don’t look at it was something where I can spend up to $X on this card and up to $Y on this one.
Our limits are huge. While we carried lots of debt, we never missed payments, so we great credit scores and lots of credit available. I guess we could cash out and head to Mexico if we wanted. Just kidding!
In order to stay out of credit card debt, I pay off my cards once a week or so to make sure that my spending is lining up with my actual budget. I also don’t buy anything unless I actually have the money to pay for it….crazy, I know.
Crazy smart. I never got the multiple payments, but I do now. If you wait until the end of the month, and haven’t tracked anything, the bill might be more than you have. By paying it off right away, it’s like you spent cash.
“If you aren’t ready to change your thinking and habits, you’ll never get out of debt.” You hit the nail of the head there Kim. It’s so true, yet so many fail to see it. My wife and I did have a little bit of credit card debt when we first got married, but paid it off in a few months and vowed to never go back. In terms of why people can’t stay out of debt…I think there are various reasons, but I think it tends to go back to being undisciplined and having the wrong view on money.
Too bad we didn’t get on track right away, but better late then never.
I have not been in credit card debt, and I am not fooling myself by saying history = future. As you mentioned, it can be easy to accomplish big personal finance goals like paying off credit card debt just to find yourself in the same situation a ways down the road. I think the biggest reason it’s hard to stay out of it is because if you pay down your debt you do feel a freedom, and because it’s a financial freedom you feel free to spend a bit more.
Life is not enjoyable if you sit around hoarding your money and can’t enjoy the things you have, but there is a balance that has to be there. It took me years to discover that. I don’t think you’ll ever go there. Too dang smart.
Kim, This is a great post that highlights something we rarely discuss, personal spending habit’s. I’ve been in situations where I have paid off a credit card only to find a hefty balance on it a year later. I’ve had to sit down and think back, hard, on how I managed to do that. The culprit was typically a cavalier attitude towards spending.
Credit cards make it so easy if you don’t keep up with how much your are spending. Instant gratification, whatever you want. It’s all good till the bill comes.
Getting fully or partially out of debt and then getting right back in with new debt is a trap that many people fall victim to. It doesn’t have to be that way. Each and every month you pay down debt you should set a goal that you will never cross that amount again, then work to doing what you need to do to stick with that goal.
If you’re mind is not there, it’s very hard. My mantra used to be let’s pay it off so we can buy something else. Now it’s getting to financial independence. Amazing how much more rewarding that goal is.
Oh yes, we are like you: charged them up and paid them off more than once, but never to the amt that we are in now, sad to say. I like to hope we’ve learned our lesson this time, and we are finally sick and tired of being in debt. Great post, Kim.
I think you’re done. You sound lots like me when we decided to finally change our lifestyle. It’s like hitting your rock bottom with any vice. I’m never going back.
Wow, I had no idea that this was a problem- that people are tempted to go back into credit card debt after they have paid it off. That gives me a lot more insight into some of the people I know that have problems with debt. I wonder what the psychological reason is for this?
I think for many, it’s just the norm and all we know. My parents were never like that, but my husband’s were. We never talked about money, and I had to learn the hard way. I think once you’re in a ton of debt, you kind of feel like, “What’s one more payment?” but it all catches up to you eventually.
That is a huge achievement and what an inspiration to all those drowning in debt. We have a few years before the mortgage is done, but I bet that will be an amazing feeling.
I think it’s a life long journey and we might go up and down with how well we’re doing. The trick is to know when you’re slacking and get yourself back in gear.
Although paying off debt may seem difficult, the really hard work is changing your spending habits. I think having a budget may help, but being proactive about spending may mean keeping a diary. If you do not change your spending the credit card debt is just the result of it.
I think it’s very hard to change, especially if you are used to doing what you want when you want. Sometimes it’s a big disappointment to friends and family, but hopefully people will understand that you are trying for a better life.
I paid off my credit cards twice. Like you, I racked up even more each time. What we are doing with the car loan and what we are planning on doing with the rest of the debt is to keep paying it after it us paid off. But instead of paying somebody else, we are paying ourselves. That way, when we need the money, we don’t have to resort to debt again.
I think that’s really the only way to do it. Keep pretending to have a payment until you need to buy a car, and then you won’t have to go into debt.
Luckily, my wife and I have never been in credit card debt, but it seems like if we ever were, and subsequently got out of it, those cards would be cut up. There is no way we’d keep any credit cards if we had a history of ringing them up.
Once you change your behavior and don’t ever carry a balance, I think credit cards are very useful. At least for us, we are getting lots of free travel. It’s about time they paid us something instead of the other way around. If you can’t pay off the balance, though, they need to be cut up.
I think paying off credit card debt is like going on a diet. Until you learn and enforce good habits upon yourself, there can be no change.
I think it’s exactly like a diet. I never really made that connection, but lifestyle change in either circumstance has to happen or old behaviors will come back at some point.
Budgeting really is the #1 thing we all should do. Sure there are a lot of successes in financial management without a budget but I think common sense is to use one. Would a company or bussiness not use one? Family finances is not that much different. Actually even more dangerous because both owners have full access to it with no safeguards.
Maybe we need to elect a CEO or CFO for family finances? Maybe that would make people take it more seriously or maybe they would just give themselves a bonus.
Great post, Kim. Your golden financial rules are spot on! I think one of the reasons people get out of debt to only go back in debt is they haven’t fully changed their spending habits. They got out of debt so they can buy more stuff. Not because they wanted to embrace financial freedom and spend money on the things that truly mattered to them. Until they change their mindset/habits, over time their debt will likely creep back up.
Good point. Getting out of debt to get more stuff is never a winning proposition.
Apparently some folks can’t stay out of debt because they are paying for their cats on installment plans? In all seriousness – no, I haven’t gotten out of debt to run up bills again. I think most folks who do just have trouble changing their ways in the long term..
I’m sure there are some sad souls who finance cats and dogs. That’s one thing I’ve never had to worry about. All my pets pretty much found me.
It’s all about the temptation. Once I paid off my cards, I wanted to use my credit cards all over again because I had so much freedom. I have since stopped myself, but still use my cards for every purchase to rack up rewards. I now pay them off every month because I am not spending anything more than I normally would.
Yes, I do that too. I will never pay interest to credit cards again, but I’ll use them for regular spending to get cash back or free travel. It’s about time they gave me some money.
Being honest about our shortcoming and weaknesses in spending habits is key.
Denial certainly can run deep when you don’t want to change your behavior.
College was like that; rack up credit card debt, pay it off. Rinse and repeat. Thankfully those days are long gone!
Oddly enough, I was scared to death of credit card when I was in college. Too bad I lost my fear.
It is very tempting to use credit cards when there isn’t a lot of extra money in your budget and you want something (not need it, but want) Spending is a vice. People have to be very aware of how they spend their money or they will fall back into the debt trap.
Needs vs wants can certainly seem like a find line, especially if you don’t step back and think about it.
Great post, Kim.. Luckily for me, Michelle and I are absolutely on the same page. We both want to indulge a little bit, because we really buckled down for the entire period we were eliminating debt. But we are spending responsibly and doing it with patience, something we never could have done without going through the massive debt reduction exercise and re-education.
I think a lot of people tend to forget unpleasant feelings, and don’t remember how painful or stressful it might have been to be in debt. Plus, if they got out of debt once before, they might feel like they could do it again. Remembering how tough it was – and how great it felt to get out of debt – can be very helpful.
Great post Kim! I believe people don’t stay out of debt because they don’t fully believe in it as a permanent lifestyle. For me, staying out of debt evolved from a conviction deep down in my spirit. It’s a really strong conviction that I choose to follow with all my heart. You could say it’s a passion. And when you believe in staying out of debt that strongly, then the follow through becomes easy.
I paid off over 15k worth of credit card debt many years ago and did the unthinkable thing of charging those darn things right back up. I have made the decision that I no longer want to live in debt and am willing to do what it takes to pay them off.
I’m actually just about to pay off my credit cards, got around $400 left til they are at $0 balance. My plan for not running them back up is taking that line in the budget and putting that amount in my 401k each month. It’ll be done automatically for me so I wont have a chance to spend it. That way i’ll be saving for my future and there won’t be this burning hole in my pocket.
It sounds like you have hit your credit card rock bottom. I think once you do that, you won’t go back. It’s just a feeling you have and know you’ll never pay another penny in interest.
Being on the same page as your partner is so important. I’m lucky enough to run The Outlier Model with my partner, CF, so we rarely disagree on money. When we’re out of debt completely, we won’t go back into debt for sure.

The perimeter of a rectangular window is 28 feet. What is the length of the window?
(1) The difference between the length and width is 2 feet.
I don't see Why A is not sufficient.
Shouldn't the OA be D? What am i missing here?
sarat0994 could you please provide a solution or check if the OA is correct?
l + w = 14.
2 apart, l and w must be 6 and 8. However, we don’t know which is which.
even i am not convinced with this reasoning,hence i have posted the question here.
l + w = 14.
2 apart, l and w must be 6 and 8. However, we don’t know which is which.
even i am not convinced with this reasoning,hence i have posted the question here.
IMO this reasoning is correct. The length and the width can take any value among 6 and 8. So option A is insufficient.
With information given in option B we can find out the values of the length and the width. So option B is sufficient.
St 1 says L-W=2, L=2+W from which we can easily calculate the length.
St 2 gives the same answers.
So the OA should be D.

Graduate students from the museum studies and public history programs at the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI were among the 100 students at 11 universities across the country that developed the exhibition, Why Guantánamo? The exhibition explores the century-long history of the US naval station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and is a project of the Guantánamo Public Memory Project, which seeks to build public awareness of, and foster dialogue on the future of this place and the policies it shapes.
You don't really have to know The Sheep Password just to visit these prints, books, collages, and sheep*. These objects are the recent individual and collaborative work of Laura Guenin and Lauren Williams, and you can look at them with or without saying anything.
After Lauren read a beautiful New Year's sort of newsletter that Laura wrote in January in Facebook last year, Lauren and Laura began to write first emails and then letters back and forth. Writing letters was like keeping a journal, except with someone on the other end, who was almost as receptive as a blank piece of paper, but would reply with equal energy after a month or so. Luckily, as Lauren and Laura listened, light-houses, lambs, lapidary, lepidopterans, and loopholes one by one limned the letters. If you look, you can probably find all of these talismans or something like them at least once, somewhere nearby, or in the show.
*The Sheep Password can be found in the 1995 masterpiece Babe: A Little Pig Goes A Long Way.
This Exhibition is a compilation of video-based artworks by current and former students in Herron School of Art and Design's K300 Advanced Digital Class as well as graduate students in the Herron's MFA in Visual Art and Public Life.
Altered photographic portraits printed on fabric, the exhibit pieces are hung on a clothesline, allowed to move with the breeze, and create a sense of languor as if caught in a dream. Having changed the names and occupations of the participants, the artist plays with the interaction of the real and the unreal and invites the viewer to enter the imaginary lives of real people.
Color and Form: Selected Works by Morton C. Bradley Jr.
With their brilliant colors and their display of the Harvard University graduate's understanding of science, Morton C. Bradley's sculptures are full of life. When viewed, the mathematically inspired creations evoke words such as "crystal," "kaleidoscope," "prism" and "snowflake."
The Cultural Arts Gallery at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, in partnership with the Indiana University Art Museum in Bloomington, invites the IUPUI campus community and the public to view an upcoming exhibit of Bradley's work.
UNEXPECTED is an exhibition featuring work by Hoosier artists- the title is descriptive of the fact that there will be many different mediums displayed, many of which are designed to excite and surprise the viewer.
Artists includes are Jeff Rothenberg, Emil Pelech, Krista Bermeo, Zach Naze, Lee McHenry, Jeff Greenburg, Men jean Lee, Tal Rothenberg, Claudette Einhorn, Mark Oberting and Ann Moriarty.
In this current age of consumerism and corporation, there exist places that are not concerned with identity. They are neither relational nor historical in the same traditional sense that they have been in the past. These "non-places" are areas of transience that are not significant enough to be regarded as a place. My current body of work dwells within these benign areas of non-place. This series of paintings captures specific moments of isolation within airports, supermarkets, new housing developments, subways, and hotels. They exhibit the presence of modernity and the absence of humanity during periods when commercial activity has ceased and places are now vacant.
To translate the ideas of non-place, modernity and isolation into the visual quality of my work, I incorporate crisp, high-definition, contrasting color and the strong presence of light. I reference these cinematic elements to embody ideas of stark, impersonal space. Films such as Brad Anderson's The Machinist, Zack Synder's 300, Dr. Mark Romanck's One Hour Photo and Michael Morrissey's Boy Wonder influence my choices of lighting, volume and perspective. Like these films, my paintings seek to establish a sense of uneasiness, dislocation and foreboding for the viewer. Depictions of low-ceilings, long hallways and dead ends characterize the lack of hope and the abundant nature of capitalism.

An Annual Juried, Multiple Exhibition Presentation Series of Contemporary Art featuring over two dozen local and regional artists - undiscovered, emerging and established, who practice in a variety of disciplines and genres.
To explain the title of the show: it simply means that almost no one expected us to show our artwork. Up until now we have been all but invisible to the art world and we may return to being so even after this exhibit. We were motivated to prepare bodies of artwork partly due to it being unexpected of any of us.
One of the problems with putting this show together was that one of the artists refused to do any work -only to play as her artistic expression. So, she enjoyed making many unexpected pieces of art, focusing on the process. Another one of the artists merely wanted to present his work in a gallery with his friends as kind of a grand finale before he moves back to China to continue his career as a plastic surgeon. He's been here in Indianapolis making art for over 20 years, as he raised his daughter and worked as a research assistant. So his artwork has not been seen much by people other than his friends. The remaining artist, possibly due to some primitive reason, became very interested in sculpting wooly materials and nobody saw that coming -not even him.
For many years now I have been photographing the landscape seeking to discover the many ways in which people interact, live and coexist with their environment. This new body of work depicts an idealized view of nature that is fundamental to the subdivisions surrounding South Bend, Indiana.
These images depict my engagement with my immediate surroundings. The wide-angle lens exaggerates the expansive lawns and amplifies the distance between the home and the camera, illustrating the privacy and the quiet isolation embodied in the subdivision.
This exhibit features various and unique perceptions on traditional furniture design by Herron School of Art graduates and current students: Dave Freeman, Matthew Osborn, Steven Sander, Jason Stillman, Christopher Stuart.
This month's exhibition is from the IU School of Medicine and is dedicated to those who see the value of art as therapy�for themselves.
The Power of Art as Therapy: as literary, performing or creative arts - heightens the senses and the focus on detail. Reflection on creating art and its products and processes can increase awareness of self and others.
This can aid us as healers and our patients in coping with symptoms, stress and traumatic experiences. Art gives people a tool for self-expression and for processing information that may be overwhelming when absorbed in mass.
This collection of diverse work represents many media from people working and living in Central Indiana— who simply do art for themselves. Although there are several professional artists represented the majority of the work is by non-professional artists, who realize and appreciate the value that creating art has in bettering their lives.
In 2009, Women Creating Excellence at IUPUI: An Online Exhibit was developed by the Office for Women and University Library for the IUPUI 40th anniversary celebration as a permanent online archive featuring the biographies of over 100 women who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of IUPUI since 1969. Additional information on the "founding mothers" who helped build the institutions that preceded IUPUI has been added as well as other information about the advancement of women in our community. The multimedia exhibition opening in January is an extension of this project. It invites you to explore the achievements of a variety of influential women as well as consider how their work defines what it means to be a leader.
I create art to teach and to please.
I like art that speaks and doesn't just distract the eyes for a brief period of time.
I love the art that distracts the mind for long periods of time and really makes the viewer think about what they are seeing and why they should value its presence.
I want the viewer to take something away from my work. I want them to see the world in a new, fresh, and maybe somewhat peculiar way, like I do. My hunger for knowledge and my constant search for all the beauty in the world eats at me like nothing else. I need knowledge and beauty like a flower needs sunlight and water, maybe even more so. I need them to grow, I need them to breathe, and I need them to feel like I exist. I want my viewers' to hunger; I want their brains to salivate when they see my work.
When I create work I let it come intuitively. I do a bit of planning on the conceptual aspect but never really on the execution. I let my spirit take over when it comes to the actual creation of a piece of artwork. The materials and techniques I use vary depending on the subject matter and the message I am trying to convey. I usually leave it up to my subconscious to make these decisions for me because I feel like that's a more natural and honest way to express what's inside.
My most current work has everything to do with dreams and the messages they provide to the conscious dreamer. Over the past few years, my dreams have taught me so much about who I am and who I need to be. They have taught me to look inside for happiness and to share my kinetic energy with the people I encounter throughout my life.
My dreams continue to blow my mind almost every night and I want to let the viewer into this amazing realm of transcendentalism. With this body of work, I want the viewer to understand and embrace the beauty that's within them. I also want them to know that we, as human beings, can do remarkable things if we acknowledge our capacity to do so. We are all glorious beams of light just waiting to be recognized by ourselves!

Cathy Kravitz and Joani Rothenberg have been painting, creating and exploring art together for the past 14 years. They both find joy in using a palette full of exciting colors, patterns and new mediums. Their friendship has grown on an artistic level by continually offering support, positive feedback and a sense of fun to their practice.
As an artist, I am drawn to scenes that have interesting compositions, color, and light. I have painted still life, landscapes, and cityscapes. In all, I am trying to work intuitively and give the viewer a sense of the moment. The light is changing constantly and my goal is to capture the immediacy of an instant. I feel that each painting I create has its own personality...no matter the subject matter. I want the viewer to feel the energy I experience each time I set up my easel.
Glass mosaic, which on the surface might seem to be a medium that is dissimilar to painting, is in fact for me very much the same. I have been interpreting my paintings into mosaics. I use different sizes and shapes of glass which mimic my brushstrokes. It is interesting to compare the two images side by side. I am excited to continue my visual interpretations in both painting and glass.

"New Work" is an experiment of epic proportions. The conceptual artist's first body of work post-graduation, this body of work investigates the kind of work to make and how to approach making artwork outside of an academic environment. McShea was influenced as she listened to a range of music, from minimalist avant-garde music to the other end of the spectrum, pop music, and examined the themes that have become clich� within the popular arena.
Melissa McShea is a May 2009 graduate of the photography program at the Herron School of Art and Design.

While depictions of conventional middle-class religion are widely visible, rarely seen are the sacred worlds of society's marginalized: the outcasts, the fallen, those that have been labeled "other" — ironically, those for whom religion was first formed. Golden States of Grace aims to give image and voice to some of those whom are active parts of our nation's diverse religious landscape, but who because of the world, society, or their own actions, may have been silenced, and now worship as a means of finding refuge, family or of forging community.
Emily Janowiak is an Indianapolis-based artist and art teacher. She received a degree in Art Education from Indiana University Bloomington in 2005 and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Museum Studies from IUPUI. Her work consists of scattered fragments of images and words that are transformed into compositions that depict the tension of something unresolved and just out of reach. Unsettled Spaces is a collection of recent paintings, drawings and mixed-media pieces that explore elements of vanity, truth, and the continual search for identity.
This exhibition includes artwork from the students, faculty and staff of the IU School of Medicine, School of Nursing and School of Dentistry.
Dr. Peg Brand, professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at IUPUI, contemplates values and virtues through her mixed media artwork. These works reflect upon her experiences with the values and virtues displayed by family, college students, soldiers and atheletes.
The work of the "Daughters" exhibit, by recently-graduated Herron artist Kelly Bryant, is a visual exploration of the journeys of young women rescued from human trafficking. Her continual involvement with a safe house in Southeast Asia fuels her work. The oil paintings, both large and small, include rather literal representations of the figure surrounded by environments of the artist's invention. The abstraction of the environments, including those with very little complexity, is an effort to depict a moment in the continual passage of these girls from brokenness and captivity into restoration and healing. Her graphite drawings likewise beckon the viewer to acquaint themselves with such beautiful daughters and consider their history.

Echoes of Frank is an installation of a living environment in the Campus Center Cultural Arts Gallery. Most of the furniture and lighting are original designs by Kyle Capicik, a senior Furniture Design major at Herron School of Art and Design. The pieces are meant to furnish a series of homes that have been designed by him as well. The systems he employs in the designs are largely those created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early part of the Twentieth Century but have been adapted to utilize computer aided technology and new material technologies of today. Wright's Usonian architecture was created as a means to build affordable, attractive homes for middle class Americans. Systems of prefabrication and material usage were developed for those homes and furnishings to make them more affordable for the average working family. These are some of the main concerns of the artist; conserving cost by repeating and limiting the number of materials to create an overall unified and affordable design.
"The tiny obsession of needing to create life around the tea pot started when I gave an assignment to my abstract painting class, assigning each of the students a simple every day object to paint, mine as an example was the tea pot. Since then I have been sketching, photographing, painting and breathing life into each tea pot adventure. Every painting or photograph had to contain a tea pot and hold within the story that it would reveal to the viewer."
The paintings in the exhibition were created by clients of the Ampath program in what is known as the Imani Artist Collective, within the Imani workshop. The focus of this group is to "tell their truths" through the medium of painting.
This photo exhibition celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. These photos feature the daily lives of Chinese people in various walks of life and the accomplishments achieved since the birth of new China on Oct. 1, 1949.
Look Here, Sit Here explores the idea of perceptivity through layering forms, colors, and textures. Aesthetic concepts found in nature and architecture are altered to form unique and holistic compositions.
Kyle Capicik, furniture designer, takes the formal aspect of fine art furniture and makes pieces in a gallery setting tangible. This turns the viewer into an "experiencer."
Michael Nannery addresses the overlooked relationships to our surroundings through printmaking. By modulating traditional high art ideas of landscapes, he explores this idea.
The year 2009 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between China and the United States. However, deep ties of friendship between our two countries began much earlier.
Lingnan University in Guangzhou (Canton) China, which became Sun Yat-sen University in 1952, is one China's most prestigious universities. Evidence of an earlier relationship between Americans and Chinese, dating back to the late nineteenth comes in the form of a rich legacy of architectural gems on this storied urban campus. Lingnan University was established by American missionaries, doctors and scholars in 1888 as a western school. In 1904, the campus relocated to Honglok, Guangzhou and, with the help and support from American friends and overseas Chinese, a beautiful campus replete with a unique collection of delicate red buildings was created. These 'red' buildings were brought from the West, the very first of their kind in China. Each delightful building was a superb combination of both western and Chinese architectural styles. These clusters of buildings at Sun Yat-sen University have become a living museum for the study of architecture.
This exhibition includes 19 watercolors of the Honglok campus architecture which were made by Szto Wai in the late 1930s. Mr. Szto Wai graduated from Lingnan University in 1908 and joined the Lingnan faculty in 1910 to teach drawing and later started a primary school on campus. He took no salary for his first year of work and had a reputation as an educational innovator throughout southern China. In 1942, he was responsible for the relocation of the University to Taitsuen, a village north of Shaoguan in northern Guangdong. He remained with the University for over 40 years, and founded other campuses of the University in Shanghai and Saigon while continuing to paint.
In this exhibition, we have matched Szto Wai's watercolors with the photos of the buildings as they currently stand. These watercolors and pictures serve as an important reminder of the history of the development of Sun Yat-sen University and the deep friendship that existed - and continues to exist - between both the American and the Chinese people.
Acknowledgement: We would like to thank the Lingnan Foundation who granted permission to use the images and also Professor Zhi Yu and Wei Lu of Sun Yat-sen University who provided photos from their book "Red Buildings on Honglok Campus."
More than 200 years ago, an American merchant ship � the "China Queen" arrived in Guangzhou from the other side of the Pacific, forging a link between an ancient China and a young America. Since then, despite the vast ocean between them, the two great nations have continued to foster exchange.
China and the US fought together in World War II against fascism. After the war, the world was consumed by Cold War ideologies which divided China and the United States. However, despite their differences, the Chinese and American people found a way to shake hands more than 30 ago across the Pacific and reopen the door of friendship.
History has much to teach us. Our people bear witness to what has passed. Looking back after 30 years, we are stirred by archival photographs, as we savor the friendship between the Chinese and American people. As you go through these corridors of time, you will see History, People-to-People Friendship, Economic Ties and Win-Win Cooperation.
Let us remember these 30 years of growth in China-US relations. Looking back today may inspire us to know each other better, to live together in greater harmony and to cooperate with each other as we move toward the future.
Pose in a painting. Snap a photo. Be part of a well-known masterpiece from the history of art.
"Picture Yourself Here..." is a project that consists of a series of visual parodies of famous, recognizable paintings by artists such as Willem de Kooning and Pablo Picasso: well-known artists routinely revered in the history of art.
This series of large-scale oil paintings on panel boards aims to capture the humor and mischief that results when one challenges the established canon of the history of art. Subverting the centuries-old dogma whereby male artists routinely painted female nudes (but female artists were not allowed to paint male nudes), these works challenge gender assumptions that operate below the surface when experiencing visual art in museums and galleries.
In contrast to the original works of art, these parodies provide art viewers with the unique experience of becoming part of a well-known "masterpiece" of art, allowing each participant to imagine how it feels to be a (female) "sitter" or model under the (male) artist's gaze; hence the invitation to "Picture Yourself Here..."
Posers are encouraged to use cameras and cell phones to pose in the paintings, snap some photos, and share with friends.

Mercer’s Pensions Risk Survey data shows that the accounting deficit of defined benefit (DB) pension schemes for the UK’s largest 350 companies increased over December and now exceeds £100bn. The figure represents a massive increase from the £56bn recorded at the end of 2013, as well as a substantial monthly increase.
The deficit increased from £98bn as at 30 November 2014 to £107bn as at 31 December 2014. Consequently, funding levels reduced from 86% to 85% over the same period, with the deterioration being substantially driven by an increase in liabilities resulting from a further fall in corporate bond yields. At 31 December 2014, asset values were £608bn, up £2bn from the £606 billion recorded in November. Liability values were £715bn, up £11bn from £704 billion in the previous month. At 31 December 2013, the corresponding deficit was £56bn, with asset values of £561bn and liability values of £617bn.
“The sharp fall in both corporate and government bond yields to historic lows during the second half of the year has resulted in a sharp rise in pension scheme deficits. The accounting deficit is 90% higher at the end of 2014 compared to the position at the end of 2013,” said Ali Tayyebi, Senior Partner in Mercer’s Retirement business.
“A huge variety of global financial and economic factors affected yields in 2014 and we anticipate continued volatility in 2015. Whilst the recent fall in yields may cause many pension schemes to review the hedging of their interest rates schemes should be open to the opportunities that volatility provides. Companies and trustees should be prepared,” added Mr. Tayyebi.
Mercer highlights that market conditions are not preventing risk transfer activity. The consultancy points out that completed buy-in and buy-out insurance company transactions and longevity swaps amounted to £11 bn and £24bn of liabilities respectively in 2014, more than any other previous year. Other DB risk management tactics also thrive. According to Mercer, many other companies have completed or are undertaking a pension increase exchange exercise, with others reviewing member options in light of the pension flexibility due in April 2015. Most recently, Mercer was lead advisor on the multistage de-risking project with US-based TRW Automotive Inc. The transaction consisted of an enhanced transfer value offer to deferred members and a £2.5bn buy-out of the pensioner liability of the TRW Pension Scheme.
Mercer estimates the aggregate combined funded ratio of plans operated by FTSE350 companies on a monthly basis. This is based on projections of their reported financial statements adjusted from each company’s financial year end in line with financial indices. This includes UK domestic funded and unfunded plans and all non-domestic plans. The estimated aggregate value of pension plan assets of the FTSE350 companies at 31 December 2013 was £561 billion, compared with estimated aggregate liabilities of £617 billion. Allowing for changes in financial markets through to the end of December 2014, changes to the FTSE350 constituents, and newly released financial disclosures, the estimated aggregate assets were £608 billion, compared with the estimated value of the aggregate liabilities of £715 billion.

I live in Vancouver, WA with my husband Wayne, 23 year old son Kevin, 4 dogs, and 1 cat. Yes I have a houseful and yes it can get pretty chaotic at times but I wouldn't change a thing.
I enjoy most crafts but I specialize in and have a passion for making greeting cards. My first experience with card making was when I attended a friend's Stampin' Up! workshop back in 1998. I admit at first I thought the whole stamping thing was pretty hokey but when the workshop began I was hooked. I purchased supplies to make Christmas cards and was pretty happy with how they turned out. I really wanted to purchase more supplies and really get into it but I just didn't have the time or energy because I was working full time. Eventually I gave away all my supplies and a couple years later I wound up unable to work due to Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
I found myself getting depressed and climbing the walls because I needed something to do when I remembered how much I enjoyed making cards. First I kicked myself for giving away all my stuff then I went totally insane on Ebay buying basic supplies. Over the next year I taught myself just about every technique that has an online tutorial. I really wanted to share my passion for cardmaking so I created this blog.
I hope you enjoy my projects as much as I enjoyed making them. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help. Thank you for stopping by!
Hi Rhonda, thank you soooo much for your compliments, I really appreciate it! I must confess that my header's actually a pic that I found on my SU! Demo site. I'm so sorry to hear about your possible diagnosis. I can only imagine what you're going through. I'm so happy that my story helped you. That's exactly why I shared it. I love helping others & I know how alone you can feel sometimes. It's like no one really understands what you're going through (I know they're trying but unless you've lived w/this they can't truly understand) Speaking of which please call me anytime if you need a friend or have any questions. I've lived w/this since '97 so I've learned a thing or two over the years. My phone #'s 360-521-9846 & email's lnelson74@clear.net. you're right being creative is the best therapy. It gives me a real sense of accomplishment & keeps me busy so I don't notice the bad stuff so much. Like I said in my story (I think) it finally gave me a reason to get outta bed in the morning. Thanks again & please don't hesitate to call/text/email me anytime, i'd love to hear from you. Take care & have a wonderful day!

ah. getting closer. I get 20.99999999999999999999999999999999999995 as the result, sdstuber. Is it best to use ROUND, then to get 21?
interesting.... I get different results based on whether I'm executing within pl/sql context or not.
yes, if you want to do your date math in pl/sql then you'll have to round it to get your results.

ok, for my purposes, I will use ROUND; that works for my results.
Thanks very much for your help, it's much appreciated!

The following code, should display "(1/3)*3 = 0.9999999999999999999999999999" to the console, as a normal C# application does.
Thanks for letting us know about this issue. I have reproduced and we will investigate.

Google is the most popular search engine, where many people consider it as the gateway to the internet. In the recent past Google has added several new features such as calculator, unit conversions and it has also taken some ideas from its competitor search engine Bing.
Bing and Google are both equally good search engines. Bing was actually made by ex-Google workers who thought could make a better search engine than Google. Bing also made similar improvements and additions in the past.
Type in 399999999999999999999-399999999999999999998 in to the Google's search bar and you will be given a very WRONG answer!
The actual answer is 1, but some math error seems to have crept into the search engine.

In this article I describe how to create the sequence in PL/SQL.
A sequence is a object in Oracle. Sequence is used to create autonumber field in oracle. The number generated are unique and can be act as primary key.
This would create a sequence object called sequence_emp. The first sequence number will be 1 and each subsequent number would increment by 1. It will cache up to 20 values for performance.If MAXVALUE is not provided then its default is set up to 999999999999999999999999999.

maybe I can get away with not being so precise this time.

Don't worry about this. Your system is set up to create ACH file in blocks of 10 lines (each 94 characters long). Any missing lines in last block will be filled with "999999999999999999999999999999999....." in order to make total of ten lines for the last block. Bank will handle this with no issues.
Hoping someone can help. I am using the standard SAP configuration for generating an ACH/CTX payment file for vendors.
I would like to understand the purpose of this? Can I stop it being inserted?
