big shout out to our supporters, collaborators, friends, Volunteers, and Expert Lemur Lovers!
We simply could not do what we do with out all of your support! Thank you!
Supporters and collaborators of Lemur Love:
Lemur Love Volunteers:
ruth steel mock
Environmental enrichment expert
Zoo Keeper and Research Coordinator at the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, CA and Wildlife Rehabilitator and Volunteer Coordinator for the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center in Bayside, CA
Ruth earned her bachelor's degree from Hampshire College studying animal behavior, specifically focused on primates. She conducted her senior thesis field research in southern Madagascar at the Reserve Speciale de Beza Mahafaly where she studied wild mouse lemur behavior and morphology. She then earned her PhD from Duke University studying the behavioral ecology and conservation of primates. Her doctoral project focused on understanding the behavioral ecology of the endangered Udzungwa red colobus monkeys of Tanzania.
She enjoyed working with many primates in the Small Mammal House at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, DC. Now, she spends her days with her true loves at the Sequoia Park Zoo where gibbons sing all day long and raccoons try to steal her treat pouch. Her days off are filled with even more animals as a wildlife rehabilitator where the dynamic is different with animals trying to bite her rather than "sweet-talk" her into handing over treats. ( P.S. If you think gibbons don't sweet talk with their "oo oo oo" vocalizations, then you need to work with some gibbons. Seriously, you are missing out.)

Crazy talented lemur artist
"Lemurs are a pretty big deal! Lemurs have been around such a long time, it's definitely something to commend them for. My hope is if I can tell people how cool lemurs are, then maybe people will want to help the lemurs and conservation efforts on Madagascar. I don't want to imagine a world without lemurs!"
Lauren obtained her double B.A. of Geography and Anthropology (with a minor in Photography) from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, where she also completed her Archaeological Field School Practicum.
Lauren is a lemur enthusiast and loves visiting her friends at Lemur Walk!

This Sunday is Unicorn Backpack giveaway day at the Oakland A's game. Given the current mythology about good data scientists a/k/a unicorns, Billy Beane of baseball analytics fame (G.M. of the Athletics) comes to mind.
Unicorn verification process. I'm not minimizing the difficulty of policy research, analytics, data science, and other efforts to find meaningful patterns in data. But communication skills and business savvy dramatically influence people's ability to succeed. As part of an engagement or hiring process, I suggest asking a potential unicorn these questions:
1) What evidence have you worked with that can potentially improve outcomes? Where might it be applicable? 2) How do you translate a complex analysis into plain English for executive decision makers? 3) What visuals are most effective for connecting findings to important business objectives?
Can you talk the talk and walk the walk? While Mr. Beane brilliantly recognized the value of OBP and other underappreciated baseball stats, that's not what made him a unicorn. His ability to explain his findings and advocate for nonobvious, risky, high-stakes management decisions – and to later demonstrate a payoff from those decisions – is what made him a unicorn.
A colleague of mine worked at a successful, publicly traded telecom company. As a PhD economist, he managed a group of 25 economists. And he says the reason he led the team, and did most of the interacting with senior executives, was that he could explain their economic modeling in business terms appropriate for the audience.
Connect to what matters. Accenture's extensive research of analytics ROI has found that "most organizations measure too many things that don't matter, and don't put sufficient focus on those things that do, establishing a large set of metrics, but often lacking a causal mapping of the key drivers of their business."
It's a common theme: Translate geek to English. SAP's chief data scientist, David Ginsberg, says a key player on his big-data team is someone "who can translate PhD to English. Those are the hardest people to find". Kerem Tomak, who manages 35 retail analysts, explained to Information Week that "A common weakness with data analytics candidates is they're happy with just getting the answer, but don't communicate it". "The inability to communicate with business decision-makers is not just a negative, it's a roadblock," says Jeanne Harris, global managing director of IT research at Accenture and author of two books on analytics.
Will Mr. Beane be wearing a unicorn backpack at the game on Sunday? I sure hope so.

Thousands of 14-year-olds taking the SATS test this year needed to score just 21 per cent to reach the level expected of their age.
The pass mark was set for pupils taking a more advanced paper as part of so-called Key Stage 3 exams.
Pupils taking a more basic test only had to answer a third of questions correctly.
The disclosure was branded "absurd" by the Conservatives, who said the low pass mark undermined public confidence in the examination system.
It comes amid continuing fears over standards of mathematics in Britain.
Last month, a report by the think-tank Reform said GCSEs were "considerably" easier than tests sat 50 years ago as questions had been simplified to make them more relevant to modern teenagers.
It was claimed that the lack of rigour in secondary schools may be turning many young people off maths - posing a long-term threat to the economy.
This year, around 600,000 pupils sat Key Stage 3 tests in maths, English and science.
The tests - taken three years into secondary school - are seen as a key indicator of success in GCSEs.
In 2007, standards in maths dropped slightly as 24 per cent failed to achieve the target expected of the age group.
But there are fears that low pass marks - set by independent panels who analyse the relative difficulty of the test - may lead to possible grade inflation. Boundaries change year-on-year depending on the exam questions.
In this year's test, 14-year-olds taking the top paper needed to score 21 per cent and pupils required 36 per cent for a slightly easier paper, according to the Times Educational Supplement. A third paper - for the weakest pupils - had a pass mark of 64 per cent.
Teachers said the low marks may prompt schools to enter weak students in the harder tests in the hope they may scrap a pass.
Jennie Golding, from the Mathematical Association, said: "Educationally, what you want is to have pupils taking papers where they can comfortably complete most of the questions. "Passing a harder question with a very low proportion of questions right gives them precious little to build on at Key Stage 4 [last two years of school]."
The pass mark for the lower paper is actually beneath that in a corresponding test sat by primary school children.
At 14, pupils are supposed to gain at least a Level 5 in the annual exams. At the age of 11, pupils are required to reach Level 4 - but can be awarded a higher Level 5 for outstanding results.
An analysis of this year's grade boundaries shows the weakest 11-year-olds had to answer at least 78 per cent of questions correctly to be marked up to Level 5. But in the easiest test for 14-year-olds, pupils needed just 64 per cent for the same mark.
Nick Gibb, the shadow schools minister, said: "It is absurd that you can pass an exam by getting four out of five questions wrong - this simply acts to undermine the public's faith in the exams system."
Have your say: Are SATS too easy?

Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 Characters I Would Want With Me on a Deserted Island
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. Today's Top 10 challenge was interesting one for me. Sometimes I really have an issue when it comes to making a decision, so these lists are a challenge in and of themselves. But to narrow it down to only 10 characters I might want to be stuck with on a deserted island was mind-boggling at first. Just so that everyone is on the same page as… Read more »

Deandra Chung… Mending Dreams and Rebuilding Lives
Born and raised in Linstead, St Catherine, in a small district called Rose Hall, Deandra Chung always knew that one day she would be her own boss and, in the process, change lives.
Her educational journey began at Bread of Life Christian Academy, but she had to switch to a primary school when the financial burden became too much. "Even though we weren't rich, my mother ensured that we all got the best education."
Her dream to attend a Kingston-based high school was dashed when after her GSAT exams, she was placed at McGrath. "When I realised I had passed for McGarth, I was so upset because it wasn't my first choice."
Being at a non-traditional high school without much resources, Chung realised that with the help of her mother, she had to work extra hard to achieve her goals. "I worked hard to ensure that every year at prize-giving I was on the podium collecting something." By her third year in high school, Chung was made a prefect. Her hard work paid off even more when she was successful in five CXCs and six CAPE subjects.
Fresh out of high school, she landed a job as a receptionist, and after a year, decided to try and balance work and school. "Sometimes I wouldn't get home until after midnight or even close to 1 a.m. By the time I got home and fell asleep, it was time for me to get back up. I had to wake up at four every morning to ensure I got to work on time."
Chung was faced with a tough decision - survive on minimal sleep or find a way to move into Kingston. But making ends meet on a shoestring budget was difficult, and sometimes finding her tuition fee was a mammoth task. "My school fee was always late. I would pay the day or so before exam. I struggled, but I did it."
Leaving Excelsior Community College with an associate degree in tourism management paved the way for Chung to obtain a bachelor's degree in tourism management and set her on a path to realising her dream.
Speaking her dream into being, one day her Facebook musings got her some unwanted attention and put her job into jeopardy. "I always wanted to be my own boss, so one day, I just randomly posted on Facebook: 'One day I will become my own boss'. That didn't go down well with many people and I got a call demanding its removal. I had to delete the post," she recalled, adding that her boss at the time saw it and thought it was rude.
But deleting the post did not erase her aspirations.
After four years working as a receptionist and barely getting by on her monthly salary, Chung knew it was time to walk away to make her dream company, Complete Accident Support, a reality. "I knew I had the ability and the know-how, I just had to do it." She noted that Peter Abrahams one of her mentors, had started a similar company about a decade ago. "He inspired me and taught me how to be successful in the world of business. I later had the opportunity to work in a company that offered similar services in which I was more exposed to the business after serving as a senior client relations officer."
Complete Accident Support (CAS) helps Jamaicans who are injured or wronged in any kind of accident, such as motor-vehicle accidents, slip and fall, hotel accidents or injured on the job, to get compensation. "For a very long time, some Jamaicans have been ignorant of their rights or they don't have the money to pursue the matter. So our main purpose is to bridge that gap by providing legal financing and helping them in the step-by-step process. No upfront fee is required and our clients repay only if an award is made."
Now that her company is three years old, the young entrepreneur recalls that, at first, starting her own company was not easy. "I got a loan to start the business, but that wasn't cash in my hand." To keep her company alive, she had to make some serious sacrifices, one of which was pawning a gold ring her mother had given her, just to be able to pay her office bills. "I decided that my business was not going to close. I had to find a way. I had to make a decision. That's when I decided to part with something that was very precious to me. For a moment, I felt as if I was about to pawn my soul, but I had no choice, it had to be done," she explained as a look of slight regret crept up on her face.
But it did pay off. "My first pay cheque from being my own boss was way more than what I earned as a receptionist. When I looked at that cheque and compared it with what I was getting as a receptionist, I was overcome with emotion," she said.
However, Chung notes that her new-found satisfaction wasn't only about her or her company making money, but the fact that she was helping people stand up for their rights while giving them a chance to better their lives. "Recently, we were able to get a young man an award of $3 million for an accident he was involved in, and he was able to take that money and purchase a piece of land. That's the kind of impact I want to have on the lives of ordinary Jamaicans and that is why I want Complete Accident Support to continue to grow so we can open more branches and hire hundreds, while helping thousands more get justice."
Her cause is one that hits very close to home. "At age nine, my brother had a back injury. I remember it like it was yesterday" she reminisced sadly. "I remembered him walking into surgery, after that he never walked again. This had a severe impact on our lives psychologically, emotionally and financially. Times got harder for us as he had to do surgery after surgery which drained us financially and, back then, there was no one supporting people the way Complete Accident Support helps victims today. In fact, there wasn't any help for Jamaicans injured in accidents or on the job, until Peter Abrahams started this type of business.
Chung had also had her own near-death experience. "When I was 12, I had an accident where a three-inch nail pierced my stomach. I almost bled to death. I still have the mark, which reminds me every day that God has given me another shot at life and that I am here for a purpose."
At 26 years old, Chung has made her dream come true, while learning some very important life lessons. "I've made decisions which didn't turn out to be as rewarding as I expected, but one has to experience challenges in order to achieve. I was never one of the best or brightest students in school or in college, but I tried. I was always a fighter and at the end of the day, I achieved my goals because I didn't stop fighting, and that is the major reason (that) today I can say I moved from answering the phone at the front desk in somebody else's business to answering the phone in the front office of my own company."
She encourages young women to make a life plan, stick to it and always be willing to sacrifice short-term pleasures such as partying and brand-name fashion for the greater long-term success.

You can say "Vier Sukollawat" is perfect in all phases; handsome, skill and talented!! Recently, he flew to Seoul, Korea to walk the red carpet at Seoul International Awards 2017 and acceptance of "Asian Star Prize" award. Vier is the first Thai celebrity that receive this award. The Korean media even compared Vier's handsomeness to "Jung Woo Sung" and that Vier is the Thai version of their really own Jung Woo Sung…. wow! This event sure isn't a play thing!!
What do you say? Do you agree with the Korean media that Vier looks like Jung Woo Sung? I don't think they look anything alike.

Remember the nasty ransomware attacks Petya & WannaCry which spread almost like a zombie apocalypse earlier this year? Millions of devices arround the world were affected with these attacks which were designed to exploit the loopholes in the good old Server Message Block version 1 (SMB v1) protocol. A lot of security experts have argued that having SMB v1 enabled in servers/PCs by default will leave the consumers vulnerable for any future attacks of this nature.
Starting this month, Azure Security Team has closed the doors for SMB v1 protocol for Windows OS images available in Azure marketplace. This means that when you deploy a VM with any of the below operating systems using an Azure marketplace image, the SMV v1 protocol is disabled by default.

This doesn't mean that you can turn a blind eye to your existing Windows VMs in Azure. If you haven't already disabled SMB v1 in those, you can refer this TechNet article to learn how to do so. Regardless of where your servers and PCs are deployed (cloud or on-premises) Microsoft strongly recommend you to disable SMB v1 protocol.
OK what about Linux ?
The Samba service which enables the SMB protocol in Linux VMs is not installed by default in any Azure Linux gallery image. If you install this service later on once you have provisioned a VM vulnerability report CVE-2017-7494 need to be taken into consideration to there are any threats that you should be alarmed of. This explains the vulnerabilities in Samba 3.5 and onward where as the current version is 4.6.7. However it is always recommend to update to the latest version as soon as possible.
Do I need to use SMB v1 ever ?
SMB v1 has been superseded by SMB v2 & V3 a long back. These versions are inherently more secure than the v1 of SMB protocol. However there are dozens of products out there which still leverages the SMB v1 protocol. This TechNet article lists out most of the products that still leverage SMB v1 at some point of their current life cycle.

Ever do that thing with your friends where someone asks where you should all go out to dinner, then everyone in unison answers, "I dunno"? We're here to help. Pull up our Eat Seeker on your phone and you'll have an updated breakdown of the latest and greatest restaurants in Milwaukee. You'll look like a genius, and it'll make up for that time you suggested Dave & Buster's.
This Mojito Hot Toddy Is the Destroyer of Colds
Bay View
Don't let the quaint, retro-inspired dining room and bar fool you: there are modern flavor combinations coming out of this kitchen, like bucatini with tomato, crab, and spicy pepperoni. Belly up to the bar and sip some of the best cocktails in Milwaukee.
Juneau Town
A pop-up so popular they made it permanent. Amilinda was one of the most anticipated openings of 2015, and it has not let MKE down. The food is Spanish-inspired, by way of Venezuela and Portugal. Plates are hearty with lots of braised meat, making it a great spot to get your comfort food fix.
East Side
Leave your tastebuds in Chef Justin Carlisle's capable hands and order the tasting menu at this James Beard Award-nominated spot, which has quickly become one of the star restaurants in the city. For something a little more punk rock, visit after hours on the weekends when they transform into Red Light Ramen.
Merriment Social
Harbor View
If you ever find yourself torn between dim sum and burgers, there is now a restaurant for that. Modern fusion small plates are delivered on dim sum carts, while there's also a section of menu dedicated to heartier plates. Sounds a little confused, but it's working out just fine.
Odd Duck
Bay View
You know the drill: mostly small plates, ever-changing menu. Odd Duck stands out for consistently delivering creative flavor combinations since opening in 2012. Charred octopus with fermented black beans and snow peas, anyone?
Iron Grate BBQ Co.
The newest kid on the barbecue block is owned by former Ardent chef Aaron Patin, though it's Edna -- the restaurant's main smoker -- that really runs the show. She's responsible for the restaurant's delicious meats, including what's dubbed the Milwaukee-style rib... which comes with the pork belly still attached. The belly fat melts into the rib for a sticky bite that goes well with the sweet, tart pickles on the side.
Drink Wisconsinbly
Harbor View
You may recognize the name of this pub from the endless parade of "Drink Wisconsinbly" T-shirts, can koozies, and pint glasses you see at basically every MKE event. This is the same company, doubling down on Wisconsinites' love of their state, with a pub that surrounds you with Wisconsin memorabilia. Burgers, cheese curds, Old Fashioneds (from a bubbler!), Bloody Marys, and PBR are all wonderfully familiar, tasty standards here.
Hello Falafel
Bay View
The owners of small plate heaven Odd Duck bring you this Mediterranean fast casual spot, which offers mostly -- what else -- falafel. There are four different ways to dress your crunchy little chickpea balls, from classic hummus and pickled vegetables to sabih with charred eggplant spread, hard boiled egg, tahini, and cucumber salad. Charred halloumi cheese, lentil soup, fattoush, and fresh juice blends round out the menu.
Rare Steakhouse Milwaukee
East Town
We Milwaukeeans l-o-v-e our meat and potatoes, so there's always fanfare when another steakhouse opens up. The MKE outpost, in a brand spanking new high-rise, is just as lovely as the original Madison location. Supple crimson banquettes, chandeliers, and a library room indicate precisely what you're in for: delicious foie gras, tableside prepared salads, and big old hunks of steak, all at premium prices.
Tre Rivali
Third Ward
Located in the brand-spanking-new Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, Tre Rivali focuses on Mediterranean food with a heavy influence from Italy. Chef Heather Terhune prepares handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and fish and meat entrees... plus some creative tapas like aracini made with paella. The restaurant is more comfortable than the hotel's posh rooftop bar, so you can grab some of the same, fairly expensive craft cocktails in a more casual setting.
Third Ward
The first MKE restaurant serving some of the trendy Chinese-American dishes popular on the coasts, DanDan hit the ground running when it opened at the end of July. Headed by two veteran chefs both named Dan, they do in fact serve dandan noodles, because it'd be a travesty not to. Hand-pulled cumin lamb noodles, smashed cucumber salad, and short rib and foie gras potstickers stand out on a menu that's meant for sharing. The bar's mai tai comes to the table flaming... and full of booze.
Third Coast Provisions
East Town
Chef Andrew Miller of Merriment Social brings us this sleek, shiny bastion of seafood in a city with more steakhouses than oyster bars. Luckily, most of the fish served here doesn't come from our third coast, since MKEans are all too familiar with the smell of dead alewives. Instead, you can get chargrilled oysters, lobster and crab meat masquerading as escargot in pools of garlic butter, and some of the best steak tartare around.
San Giorgio Pizzeria Napoletana
The operator of the Calderone Club took over the vacant space next door and created a Naples-style pizzeria. San Giorgio is the first VPN-certified pizzeria in Milwaukee -- that means a committee of Italians who are very serious about pizza dictates everything about the pies here, from the type of flour used to the oven temperature. The results are appropriate homages to what you'd get in Naples; sit at the semicircular bar around the imported oven, and watch your pizza cook while you munch on arancini.
The Tandem
Triangle North
Caitlin Cullen, formerly of Bavette La Boucherie, opened The Tandem in Triangle North, a neighborhood that needs more community gathering spots of this ilk. For many years the building was the Wally Schmidt Tavern, so continuing that history with a watering hole made sense. For dinner, order a whole family-style chicken, either roasted or fried and bathed in Memphis-style hot sauce. Whichever style you choose, hushpuppies and braised greens are a must for sides.
Bodegón at Hotel Madrid
Walker's Point
Bodegón is the main draw at Hotel Madrid, considering there are only two rooms in the hotel and the place isn't even booking yet. You'll find Spanish-inspired food and aged steaks, presented in an upscale atmosphere that matches the high price tag. Check out the bar for a large menu of cocktails, snacks, and small entrees, like a smoked suckling pig sandwich or savory potato churros. Book the wine cave -- yes, it's really underground -- for special events.
Bay View
Another pizzeria touting Neapolitan pizza recently opened on "the same street as Barnacle Bud's." When you describe your location in reference to the best summer drinking patio in Milwaukee, you're clearly doing something right. Go traditional with a Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella and basil, or opt for a more alternative pie, like one topped with garlic sauce, pan-fried potato slices, and grilled chicken.
North Shore
Local couple Anne Marie Arroyo and Tamela Greene are bringing a little verve to the sleepy 'hood of Whitefish Bay with a menu of classics like shrimp cocktail, chicken piccata, short rib bolognese, and a burger with peppercorn aioli. The brunch menu here includes four types of eggs Benedict, including one with crispy pork belly. Because if there's anything eggs Benedict needs, it's more richness.

- Code: ME/6004
- Dimentions (mm): 700(L) x 250(W) x 510(H)
- Weight: Approx 5KG
Product Information
Our leather camel footstool was first released in 2006! We are very pleased with our new "snooty" leather camel. For our version with saddle bags refer to code ME/6014. Due to his shape, this piece is less practical for use as a footstool however, it still contains the same sturdy internal frame structure as all our other pieces.
Our animals are made from top grain British sourced cowhide leather. No attempt is made to hide natural markings on the skin which we use to enhance the appearance of the animal.
Every (4 legged) animal has a strong internal metal and wooden frame which gives the piece strength and weight. Woodwool, a natural product made from soft wood, is used to pack around the frame and to form the features of the animal.This is an arduous job which takes considerable time and can only be completed by craftsmen with in house training.
The combination of frame and woodwool enables the larger animals (standard size and upwards) to be used as a footstool or as an occasional chair. But please note they are made as a decorative piece for the home and not to furniture standards.
Once assembled, the leather is hand stained mahogany brown followed by various coats of finishing products. The animal is given a pair of eyes and now he or she is ready to join you in your home!

Volume 40 Issue #15 July 27-August 2, 2017 p 40
As an artist Deborah Martin explores the themes of isolation, home, and memory. Living in the desert town of Sky Valley, California, she's painted the Salton Sea and the community that surrounds the inland body of water that is shrinking due to continual drought and the increased pressure on the Colorado River, as well as "Slab City," a collection of old concrete slabs from the World War II era when the barracks of Camp Dunlap stood there. Now, it's home to a community that abandoned traditional society in what some call "The Last Free Place in America." Her oil paintings have also captured the empty or dying towns of the Heartland as well as the forces of erosion and development on the Outer Cape and how they can so quickly change the landscape or completely transform what was once familiar.
In what may seem like a big departure, Martin is now working on a new artistic pursuit with Portraits of Autism, which will have its first exhibition starting this week at Art Market Provincetown Gallery (AMP). The show features portraits of children with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in this deeply personal work. For many years Martin worked with children and adults with special needs, and as an artist she wanted to draw attention to the challenges these people and their families face. In particular, she was drawn to the problem when these children turn 21 and are no longer eligible for federal support so families are forced to navigate the often confusing maze of state bureaucracy, or find that their state offers no assistance at all. In addition, people with disabilities are not often represented in many forms of media, something that is also true for fine art. Portraits of Autism provides multiple opportunities for a better understanding of autism as it presents each subject with not only a highly skilled technical ability, but a compassionate viewpoint to show each child as a complete person not only defined by their disability.
"When I'm painting the child I'm really trying to know that child," says Martin. "I really spend time before I settle on an image. I want to bring forward something about that child, their strength, their character, as honest as possible."
Once the idea for the project came to Martin, she allowed it to develop organically with the mindful wandering that she's followed through her life as an artist. She found the subjects for her paintings largely through social media, or by referral from friends. Numbers fluctuate slightly, but the Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 out of every 88 children are diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Family and loved ones of those with autism often form tight bonds, and Martin found many who were delighted to have their child as part of this artistic advocacy. Regardless of their current age, Martin paints the person with ASD as a young child based on submitted photos, and future paintings will feature the same subjects throughout their adolescence into adulthood.
Many of those featured in Martin's work are non-verbal or have limited communication skills. This, matched with an ignorance of what autism is and what it means, can isolate those with the disorder and those who love and take care of them, which is again, that theme that is so often the focus of Martin's artistic viewpoint. The general unawareness of autism can often lead to fear or discomfort, which is in part why a show like this can give the viewer an opportunity to explore their own feelings and knowledge of the disorder with the space for introspection, while also experiencing a deep connection as Martin presents each child with an intensity and intimacy. Throughout their lives, people can lack understanding and view those with autism as "rude," "mentally ill," or "dangerous," says Martin. But the more one is educated, compassion grows, anxiety dissipates, and society expands to make room for those previously pushed aside.
"This project is much more than this first show," says Martin. "It's the very beginning and I thought Provincetown would be a welcoming place to start."
Deborah Martin turns to ethereal abstraction to express the emotional experience of autistic children and the people closest to them.
"In the portrait, titled Potential, Finn sits in the shallow water, responsive to the swirling tide yet disconnected from his surroundings. Several feet away, his 10-year-old sibling swims confidently into the deep. Martin's intuitive understanding of autism stems from years of working with special-needs children during college and an enduring relationship with a close friend who struggles with this complex spectrum disorder. The families committed to the project span the country. Through social media, Martin keeps track of each child and his or her support system. "When an image or a story speaks to me, I begin to envision how to represent that family's experience."

Deborah Martin's Newest Series Continues to Illuminate the Uncanny in America's Outback
"Walt Whitman wrote in the preface to the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, "The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it." This theme manifests throughout the work of Deborah Martin who conveys the essence inherent within marginalized communities that exist on the fringes of American society...In the same vein as Whitman, Martin's strength lies in her objective point of view, which she uses to expose what Chris Busa describes as the "unselfconscious attitudes of strange places where people have made themselves comfortable."

Deborah Martin Uncanny Luminosity
"In the last five years, Deborah Martin has concentrated on painting local habitations far removed from mainstream America, yet evoking quintessential core values in our national psychology. She manages to avoid a voyeuristic curiosity while honestly exposing unselfconscious attitudes of strange places where people have made themselves comfortable... Martin is something of an archivist, seeking out stories lost in time…motivated by the jumble of memory, wanting some confusion to activate her emotion."
Chris Busa, Provincetown

Biller on Art: Springtime Desert Expressionism
"Over the past 30 years, however, interest in works by Wendt, Edgar Payne, Guy Rose, Maurice Braun, and others has increased in lockstep with American art in general. And many notable paintings depict the Palm Springs and the surrounding desert towns. Today, the Impressionist tradition continues with desert landscape painters such as Mary-Austin Klein, William Scott Jennings, Deborah Martin, Niles Nordquist, Andrew Dickson, and others."

A Hushed Reverence: Deborah Martin Shows Provincetown in Magical Light
"While Martin has been compared to Truro's Edward Hopper and Maine's Andrew Wyeth, her brushwork has an open, flowing spontaneity; still, her subject has much in common with painters whose melding of landscape and structure offer a template for isolation and separation.
Martin's paintings share Hopper's sense of mystery: scenes tiptoe close enough to their off-balance subjects without intruding. In the desert paintings, Martin's interest is what is lost when hardscrabble land attracts a developer's eye; in her "Narrow Lands" series, a soft palette intimates the loss of the built environment, abandoned or gentrified into oblivion."

Art Talk: Chris Busa Interviews Realist Painter Deborah Martin
"Deborah Martin's starkly rendered yet emotionally evocative paintings convey something of the hardscrabble pride in the townspeople's souls...."
Shana Nys Dambrot, Los Angeles
"Deborah Martin is blessed with a technique that allows her to portray space and the things in it with a quavering, almost feverish luminosity as she trains her eye on all forms of the American outback.
Martin is probably best known for her paintings of the blasted communities that surround the Salton Sea. But she paints other parts of the California desert as well, and has also painted the rural American south, the nether parts of Cape Cod, and other places in this country where society dissolves and individuals find solitude whether or not they seek it.
What interests Martin – whose pictures are full of human presence but devoid of humans – is not the mundane or the abject, but how habitation seems only to amplify the emptiness of the land itself. In this respect she extends Edward Hopper's lonely realms into the context of "new topographic" photography".
-Peter Frank, Fabrik Magazine, Los Angeles
"Martin's noirish and oddly poignant images offer a hauntingly intimate elegy for small town American roadsides, refracted through a grim cataract of muffled sunlight, dusty colors, and bleached, exhausted exposures. Her vacant neighborhoods suggest a peaceful, bucolic apocalypse in which human abandonment is perhaps as much blessing as curse.
Her work dwells within a compositional formality – a visitor's sidewalk stance that captures the essentially public vista of driveway, yard, front porch – yet her portraitist's eye conjures an emotional complexity nearly operatic in scope: within the silent, vacant architecture, human drama seems to exist more powerfully in allusion."
Quintan Ana Wikswo, Los Angeles
It seems to me that Home is a lot like Love. No amount of poetry, music, art, life, death, or disappointment will ever suffice to complete the catalog of its permutated meanings—which won't stop anyone from trying. It literally means something absolutely different to each living creature, and without ideas like Home, Love, and even God, there'd be no paintings, no pop music, and no novels.
Home, again like Love, is an emotion as well as a social construct, a place to leave, return to, miss, defend, dream of, or destroy. It's a place of specificity, but does it even have to be a place at all? It can be a person (parent, lover, pet) or an illusion, or a karmic goal-post that keeps moving. It's often aspirational, symbolizing achievement, security, and retreat.
But even with the endless catalog of definition, prayer, fixation, metaphor, image, symbol, myth, purchase, and confession, human nature will endlessly prompt us to add to the archive. For every poet and painter—and for that matter every living person—believes themselves capable of shedding new light and adding new insight to our soul-situation. And they are right.
The residents of the settlements flanking California's Salton Sea—an artificial lake intended as a desert oasis resort that quickly became a toxic, calcified symbol of catastrophe—think they live in an Earthly Paradise. They are proud to call it Home, and are busy making improvements, landscaping, and building baseball parks. It's a salt-flat with dilapidated, sagging structures lining empty streets, paint peeling away in the sun, devoid of apparent activity. Its short, blacktop roads all lead to a lakeshore, the sandy beaches of which are littered with sunken vehicles and the skeletons of four-eyed fish. And as for front lawns, well, you can't grow plastic grass...
Martin's work is a kind of interpretative documentation; she stays true to the reality of her selected places. In addition to the Salton Sea sequel, she's currently at work on a series about Cape Cod's Narrowlands—a more vegetated but no less remote "vacation" destination less about the desert and more about vines, nature's reclaiming of the cultivated, the process of decay, and the beauty in the breakdown.
Shana Nys Dambrot, Los Angeles
"...Deborah is a force of nature to be reckoned with, and a hell of a painter."
Ted Quinn. Z 107.7 FM , Joshua Tree
"Poised in an arid netherworld between strip malls and car lots, Wonder Valley lies just beyond the vacant, shuttered stare of the American Dream. Commercialism gnaws at the edges of this desert mountain wilderness - its embattled landscape of ragged palms, mountains, and eroding homestead cabins provides austere refuge to semi-nomadic enclaves of fringe-toed lizards, kangaroo rats, idiosyncratic visionaries and anachronistic loners.
In Back of Beyond, Martin immortalizes a 21st century desert struggle against destruction, and her lamentation for the disappearing landscape is also a praise song to the improbable power of endurance, tenacity, and longing.
Painter Deborah Martin has established a compelling dominion as portraitist of an archaic America – ravaged sites and forgotten wastelands that nonetheless resist destruction. Her luminous paintings and photographs reveal the beauty in the bleak, and speak to the tenuous balance between home, depravation, isolation, community and hope."

Discounter 99 Cents Only Stores said Thursday that its comparable-store sales jumped by 9% in the fiscal second quarter and its losses fell as the discounter benefitted from initiatives to expand assortment and reduce waste while deflationary and SNAP-related pressures receded.
The results provided further indication of a recent rebound among formats targeting low-income shoppers are now lapping the effect of changes in federal food assistance programs, which reduced monthly benefits and the number of recipients a year ago. In recent weeks, both Dollar Tree and Dollar General posted stronger quarterly sales, and Canada's Dollarama on Thursday said its quarterly comps improved by 6.1%.
99 Cents, which operates 391 discount stores in the Western U.S., said sales for the period ending July 28 improved by 8.9% to $540.5 million, while comps increased on a combination of a 4.7% increase in transaction counts and a 4.1% increase in average basket size.
Geoffrey Covert, president and CEO, in a conference call said the sales increase was driven by expansions of fresh foods and items at price points above $1.
Covert also said a test of lower, five-foot shelving initiated earlier this year has been effective at reducing shoplifting and would be expanded chainwide. Around 140 stores feature the lower profile shelving currently. That helped gross margin rates improve by 40 basis points in the quarter to 28.8% of sales.
Dollarama, based in Montreal, operates 1,125 small discount stores in Canada. Sales during its fiscal quarter ending July 31 increased by 11.5% to $812.5 million (Cdn.), while comps grew on almost entirely on larger basket sizes.
