Peer-to- peer fundraising is taking the non-profit world by storm as an increasing number of charitable organizations use non-profit fundraising software to employ this method to boost donations in a time of dire financial need.
Peer-to-peer fundraising, which is similar to crowdfunding, provides an innovative method for non-profits to leverage existing lists of donors to solicit more donations and to bring more donors into the fold. Peer-to-peer fundraising takes advantage of the social networks of individuals to raise funds for a cause or organization.
In peer-to-peer fundraising, individuals typically create personal fundraising web pages for the cause they are supporting. Friends who interact with these pages are encouraged to donate money via the page to the cause or charity being supported.
Peer-to-peer fundraising has a number of benefits, including:
- Easy to set up – With the right fundraising software or applications, peer-to-peer fundraising sites can be set up within minutes. Good applications allow individuals to customize their pages, adding photos, art, and other elements to personalize them. This makes the effort more appealing to your existing donors and also helps it appear authentic to their social networks.
- Building trust – We live in a time where individuals can make a difference towards their cause and do so outside of the constraints of traditional non-profit institutions. With today's technology, non-profits can leverage their donor base to create a trusted advocacy group to increase donations quickly. When individuals browsing the Internet come across a peer-to-peer fundraising page launched by a friend, they're more likely to trust that the non-profit described is on the up and up.
- Bind your donors more closely to your organization – Peer-to-peer campaigns give individuals who participate in them a strong sense of buy-in to the organization they're raising funds for. By allowing participants to customize their pages, the organization signals it trusts and appreciates the opinions of the participants. The peer-to-peer effort allows participants to make the organization a part of their identity. If you recruit your existing list of donors for a peer-to-peer effort, you may well realize the bonus of additional contributions by the donors.
- A huge audience – Social networks are huge, and it only takes one click from the right person to draw a huge amount of attention to your project. By recruiting your donors to set up peer-to-peer pages, you cast a wide net for new supporters.
- It's fun – Many peer-to-peer campaigns incorporate activities such as 5ks or other competitive events into the effort. For example, a peer-to-peer page may solicit visitors to donate a certain amount for every mile run by the individual who started the page. By tying peer-to-peer fundraising to various events, keeping up with the page and fundraising efforts becomes fun for participants.
Many non-profit groups are struggling to maintain a steady flow of contributions as demand for their services grows. According to The Non-Profit Times, more than half of non-profit managers surveyed said there was an increased demand for their services in 2016.
The same survey found that a vast number of non-profits were faced with declining revenues in 2016. Peer-to-peer fundraising provides non-profits with an important tool that will help them continue their work in their communities.
Process Donation helps non-profit charitable organizations raise more funds by connecting them with technology that makes reaching out to donors and collecting funds easy and inexpensive. Process Donation caters to small and mid-sized charitable organizations in need of fundraising and technical support and offers very affordable services.
Whether it's creating donor websites, optimizing the use of social media, or harnessing the power of data, Process Donation can help non-profits better achieve their fundraising goals.

Our experience
I'm Iyas, the creator of Values-Led Consulting. I've led consultancies from 2 man startup to a team of around 500 - through rapid growth, turnaround, IPO and trade-sale. To flesh that out a little:
- Co-founded a business and technology consultancy;
- Grew it from 2 to 30+ consultants;
- Acquired by a consultancy / full services agency, and joined its board;
- Led a turnaround of our largest delivery team which threatened our survival, growing it from 60 to 200 and making us a destination employer;
- On the board as we IPOed on AIM, then sold the company to a large corporate for over £40 million;
- Led a team of 500 consultants across Europe post-acquisition;
- Then supported other consultancies and agencies multiply their revenues and profits while deepening their values.
Most importantly, all of that happened by focussing on values, and having an absurd amount of fun along the way.

Welcome to Jon's raspbian repository
This site hosts get-iplayer packages for Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi, including backports of
- get-iplayer
- AtomicParsley
- ffmpeg (and x265) for Jessie only
Recent Changes
Oct 2017: Updated for combined Stretch/Jessie compatibility
In a complete U-turn I've added an ffmpeg package to enable this repository to continue to work with Jessie, as well as actively support Stretch. But...
For both Jessie and Stretch please re-run the install script below. (It's not sufficient to update your apt sources to point to stable, the repository signing key has changed too.)
rtmpdump is no longer packaged here for raspbian since get-iplayer no longer uses it, and ffmpeg and AtomicParsley will not be updated again. (They work ok for Jessie, and Stretch already includes more recent versions of both).
Sep 2017: Updated for Stretch / Jessie Packages Retired
Jessie is no longer supported - please re-run the install script below. (It's not sufficient to update your apt sources to point to stable, the repository signing key has changed too.)
ffmpeg and rtmpdump are no longer packaged here for raspbian since Stretch includes a recent version of ffmpeg, and rtmpdump is no longer used by get-iplayer. AtomicParsley has now almost caught up in the debian respositories, so no further versions will be published here.
Using this repository
To install the repository, get-iplayer and its dependencies, paste this line into a terminal window:
wget http://packages.hedgerows.org.uk/raspbian/install.sh -O - | sh
To remove get-iplayer and the repository, paste this line into a terminal window:
wget http://packages.hedgerows.org.uk/raspbian/uninstall.sh -O - | sh
Both scripts use sudo for some tasks, which will ask for your password. If you want to know in advance what the script will do, see install.sh or uninstall.sh.
Support for get-iplayer
Read the fine manuals or ask for help in the forums.

Watch four days of set construction in under a minute.
A lot of hard work goes into planning, designing, and constructing an excellent broadcast studio set. While we'd love to share a time lapse of our design team laboring over sketches, renderings, drawings and multiple pots of coffee; we thought this quick video of the WVUA set build out would be more interesting. The new set launched earlier this year.

`ER' starts countdown to series' final flatline
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) ― Deep inside Stage 11 on the bustling Warner Bros. lot, a giant of a television show is starting to die.
The medical drama "ER," one of prime time's longest-running series, will expire next February. And "ER's" upcoming 14th season-ender (10 p.m. EDT Thursday) will slide the show one step closer to its demise.
"It just shakes you up a little," says executive producer Christopher Chulak on a break from directing season finale scenes on "ER's" County General Hospital set. "One foot in the grave," jokes "ER" special effects-meister Scott Forbes.
But "ER's" death is more than the end of a once wildly popular TV series. It is the culmination of an era in broadcast television. Created by Michael Crichton, "ER" helped usher in a new age of top-flight TV drama in the early '90s, along with its CBS archrival, "Chicago Hope."
The most Emmy-nominated series ever, with 120 nods and 22 wins, "ER" launched George Clooney's career. And it far outlasted "Hope."
Such history permeates "ER's" set, where Clooney's framed basketball jersey hangs high on a wall, a memento of the mega-star's passion for playing hoops on the studio lot.
Still, despite the scent of finality on Stage 11, executive producer John Wells isn't getting melancholy about "ER's" death sentence ― at least not yet.
"It's a great luxury because it means we can plan the ending properly," says Wells, whose drama "Third Watch" was terminated more swiftly in 2005.
In a few weeks Wells and his writing staff will hunker down to map out storylines for "ER's" final season, which will include two new characters played by Angela Bassett and Australian actor David Lyons, and at least one return by a former star.
Although it's unlikely Clooney will do an "ER" cameo next season, Noah Wyle has committed to four episodes as Dr. John Carter. "ER" die-hards watched Carter morph from bumbling medical student in season one to skilled physician working in the genocide zones of Africa by Wyle's last appearance in 2006.
"Carter figures centrally in the way I wanted to end the series, which I'd planned six or seven years ago," Wells says.
"When Tony Edwards was leaving the show at the end of season eight, I thought we would probably come to an end pretty quickly, so I spent time thinking about what the end of the series should be," Wells recalls.
And yes, "Africa will figure prominently in the storyline of Noah's return," Wells says.
Wells also hints he may not be able to resist trying some nostalgic flashbacks for "ER's" last fling.
"But we'd be concerned about doing too much in the way of fantasy sequences because of the way that 'St. Elsewhere' ended," Wells says of the earlier NBC medical series. In 1988, "St. Elsewhere's" finale implied that its entire run had been imagined by an autistic child.
Meanwhile on Stage 11, Chulak and crew are busy turning the imaginings of "ER's" season finale script into a sequence of carefully choreographed emergency room confrontations.
Guest star Steve Buscemi, who plays a drunken patient with a dark past, wanders around looking haggard in hospital gown, frayed robe and slippers.
In the season-ender, Buscemi's character puts the whole emergency room in danger in what Wells calls "literally a big bang" of a cliffhanger that "puts a character you love and care for in jeopardy."
Such scenarios typically foreshadow a character's exit from the show. But by February, "ER's" entire cast will be gone.
"I'll definitely cry," says Linda Cardellini, who has played nurse Sam Taggart for five years.
"I used to love fighting with Robert Romano," Cardellini says of the obnoxious doc played by Paul McCrane from 1997-2003. "One of my first weeks on the show we wrestled against the wall and I ripped off Romano's artificial hand and threw it down the hall. We had fun."
Adds Maura Tierney, "Yeah, I feel sort of unhinged, but in a good way."
Tierney plays medical resident Abby Lockhart, a recovering alcoholic with a rocky marriage to Dr. Luka Kovac (Goran Visnjic). She will appear in only two more episodes next season, and Visnjic may not return at all, or only briefly.
"With me and Goran ... we have this eight-year history, as humans and as characters. But it's sort of time," Tierney says of her upcoming final bow. "And it won't be traumatic. It will be a sweet ending."(AP)-May 12,2008

Shrimp and crawfish etouffee, if you have never had it, boy are you in for a real treat today. This is Cajun cooking at it's best. It starts off with a beautiful dark roux, then you add in the holy trinity (that is onion, celery and bell pepper) for those of y'all not "in the know". Next you add in your seafood, it doesn't matter much whether it's shrimp, crab, or crawfish just whatever you have handy will work out just fine. When it all gets to making magic in that pot, and you serve it over some steamed white rice, you will understand whats so special about New Orleans cooking.
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce (optional)
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tony's seafood seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock (may use fish stock instead)
- 1 pound crawfish tails
- 1 pound medium shrimp – peeled and deveined
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. This is your base sauce or 'Roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
- Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and saute for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the stewed tomatoes and chicken stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season the sauce with hot sauce (if using) and cayenne pepper and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.

Diabetes in Pets
Diabetes is a very common problem in pets – specifically dogs and cats. Two major causes are obesity, and as a side effect of steroid use, specifically in cats. Depo Medro, also known as methylprednisilone, is a long acting steroid often used for skin conditions in cats. Sometimes it is warranted but other times it is being used without working up the skin problem completely.
For example, let's say the cat has ringworm infection. This infection can look a lot like allergies with scabs, hairlessness and itchiness. If appropriate tests are done, the vet would treat the etiology, ringworm, with an antifungal and cure the cat. However, if not worked up completely, the cat might receive a steroid injection, get diabetes and make the ringworm infection worse due to immunosuppression.
The point here is being an educated consumer. Make sure your vet works the case up to determine the etiology of the disease and then treats specifically and appropriately. "Shotgun" medicine – let's try this and if that doesn't work, lets try that - is a recipe for disaster. Not only will you spend more money in the long run, you may lose your cat to diabetes caused by a drug that never should have been used in the first place!

The Perceptive Goatherdess
Mor Kupperberg is young, charismatic and energetic, and she is the goatherdess and caretaker of the goat herd at Ramat Hanadiv. Between providing care in the goat pen to taking the goats out to forage, we caught up with Mor Kupperberg, and left with insights about leadership, gender approaches to animal care, and most importantly, much inspiration.
It is known that many of the great biblical leaders began their careers as goatherds and shepherds. Before they led the people of Israel, our forefather Jacob, our leader Moses, and even King David led herds of sheep or goats to pasture. But not one of them was a woman.
One day, in the pastoral atmosphere of Ramat Hanadiv, while leading a herd of 170 goats out to forage, Mor found herself in a very tricky situation. The bleating of a goat that had lagged behind drew her gaze away from the herd advancing towards its food. "The goat stood next to the fence surrounding the Mekorot (Israeli Water Company) pipe, and then I discovered that she was guarding a little kid, and that she wasn't even its mother. The kid that had encountered the fence had got stuck inside and couldn't manage to get out again." Now imagine this – 170 goats continue forward, and a lone goatherdess needs to make a decision, to run to the kid and leave the advancing herd, or to continue with the herd and return to the kid later.
You're alone in the field, which decision did you make?
"I realized that the kid was in real distress and ran toward it immediately. As soon as I arrived the goat that had been guarding it ran to join her friends in the herd. Releasing the kid was not easy, since it had wiggled in through an opening that was too narrow for me to pass through. But after a while I managed to release him. I turn to the direction of the herd and discover that in the meantime they had taken over a private orchard which is a forbidden area. I realized that this is the moment for a real shout. The herd understood the type of shout and knew that my intentions were real. It's a matter of understanding and a lot of experience. The friends left the orchard."
"The herd is the best teacher there is, and the most important skill for a goatherdess is to listen to the goats. If we learn to listen to them we can learn a lot about them. But more than that, you learn about yourself. With time, you discover your leadership skills and a significant part of that is belief in yourself. You can follow the herd or you can set the limits. You learn to understand how to stop them, how to call them and they listen in response. Like the incident with the kid, in those moments when I need them the most, they come. The tone makes the difference. If you approach them with a fearful, hesitant tone, they will continue. You develop for yourself an authoritative and definite tone. Like children, goats also push the boundaries."
as with children, are there more and less disciplined goats?
"Of course, goats have personalities and feelings; the entire herd is not a uniform entity. There are the more attentive ones; they will usually be higher up in the herd hierarchy, the "closer" ones. It depends on the goat's body condition, size and health. A sick goat may be ostracized; although they are now domesticated, from an evolutionary point of view they developed in nature, and in nature a sick individual may attract predators."
"Do the kids go out to forage?
"By the age of two months the kids are weaned from suckling and then we separate them from their mothers and they are transferred to a separate pen for one to two months. During this period they begin going out to forage each day. At the beginning it's very hard for them. They cry a lot. They don't understand exactly what to do and this also requires fitness. At the beginning they eat very little, and only after about a week do they really begin to graze."
Let's go back to you for a moment – what connects a young woman like you to goat herding?
"A love of animals was always there; I'm not a person who likes offices or enclosed spaces. After the army I worked at a horse farm, then travelled around New Zealand, and when I returned I began working at Amikam with a dairy herd. I began each day at six in the morning with the morning milking and then went out to forage for four hours. I came to Ramat Hanadiv two years ago. Here we are a team of several caretakers who divide the work between the pen and the pasture. This herd grazes in the Nature Park all year round and is accompanied by research and learning on management regimes and animal welfare."
What are, in your opinion, the required character traits of a good goatherd?
"First and foremost, you need to know how to observe the goats, to investigate them constantly. All of the problems can be seen when foraging – who walks slowly, who is quick, who doesn't feel well. Like all animals, goats have feelings; only when you really observe them can you understand them. This connects strongly with a love for animals, which is a basic requirement for this work. They feel the love. You cannot force an animal to do anything. The real feedback is when they come to you to snuggle up, this is the purest thing.
In addition, it's important not to be too spoilt, because you have to get used to the outside conditions. Rainy days, intense heat, you need to go out to the field in all weather. Beside this you should also be physically fit. Their upkeep requires a lot of energy. It is also important to know how to manage situations. For example, when the herd advances and one goat doesn't feel well and is not prepared to keep walking, or when a goat suddenly stops to give birth in the field. These are situations that require control, decision-making and a lot of self-confidence."
Do you think that there are basic differences between goatherds and goatherdesses?
"Of course. Gender proves itself also in the conduct of male and female animal caretakers. From my experience, men are usually tougher and they have an invigorating approach. Goats pay more attention to the male tone, which gives an advantage to the goatherd. In contrast, women are more sensitive to their individual needs. The combination of the genders when rearing animals is the most correct and balanced approach.
I believe that each animal has a personality and feelings, each herd comprises individuals and we must understand their needs and provide them with warm and loving care."
And what would you like to do when you grow up?
"To continue looking after animals and to acquire professional qualifications in this field. In order to have a greater impact on the approach to animal care it is not enough to understand what happens in the field, you need the required certificates."

Cash Envelopes requires
a transfer of "cash" from a bank to envelopes
ProActive is the same, but digital
Here's how it works
After you get paid…
pay your bills at your bank, just like you're already doing.
The money that is left over is your "Discretionary Income".
Deposit this money to ProActive by tapping the "+" icon in the app.
This will begin the funds transfer.
When ProActive receives your money, it will require you to Distribute it into your categories. Only money in categories can be spent.
And to make it easy, ProActive can save your distribution plans for use later.
Have variable income?
Use the Un-Distributed money as a reserve or create a separate "Reserve" category to even out your cash flow.
To spend, open the ProActive app and tap "Spend" on the category you wish to spend from. When it says "Ready to Spend" then go ahead and swipe your card.
Categories stay Active for 30 minutes or until a purchase comes through.
Shopping with ProActive is like Shopping with cash, so there a few nuances you should know about. Learn More

12/11/11 – Christmas Run Newport, RI Full Results
It was a chilly start at the 28th Annual Christmas Run this year, but with sunny skies and minimal wind, it made for perfect conditions throughout the course, especially on Ocean Drive. The only obstacle on course was the large ice patch that covered the entire width of the road about a quarter mile into the race.
This year's race attracted 460 runners in the 10k, up from the 380 at the 2010 event and 442 in the 2009 event.
Turtle's have a long history at the Christmas Run, winning 8 out of the last 11 Men's Team Titles from 2000 – 2010. This race does not have any cash prizes, usually runner's choose from a random mix of items that are layed upon the floor in the Rogers High School cafetaria, but the team prizes have traditionally been cases of beer, hence the Turtle's actually organizing themselves to enter a team and win!
This year we were just as successful, winning the Men's Team Title for the 9th time in 12 years, we also added the Women's Team Title to that this year. In the individual race, Alan Bernier ran away with the win in 32:32, far ahead of teammate Bob Jackman who finished second in 35:02. Other finishers were:
12th – Dave Schaad – 38:00
16th – Bob Corsi – 38:20
21st – Ken Kirejczyk – 38:43
30th – John Brennan – 39:40
37th – Jake Schieffelin – 40:31
39th – Jackie Jackman – 40:39
48th – Issy Nielson – 41:28
55th – Joe Reddy – 41:59
136th – Stephanie Hevenor – 47:24
After the race some of the runners and our loyal spectators, Scott Mason, Tony Wild, and Chris Jasparro, headed over to Yesterday's for some lunch and a beer. It was a good day!

WrkStr = ' '; Loop; WrkStr = %trimr(WrkStr) + Fname; End-Loop; MyStr = WrkStr;
WrkStr = WrkStr + Fname;That statement takes the 100 blanks from WrkStr and concatenates the characters from Fname to it. If Fname is 20 bytes long, the resulting value is 120 bytes long (100 + 20). Then those 120 bytes are assigned to WrkStr again. But since WrkStr is only 100 bytes long, only the first 100 bytes can fit in WrkStr. And the first 100 bytes are all blanks. By using %TRIM() or %TRIMR(), the previous blanks are trimmed before Fname is concatenated. That allows Fname to be put into the first bytes of WrkStr. Note that this trimming will happen every time through the loop. The trailing blanks will be removed each time. If you need an exact number of blanks between each field and you insist upon concatenating, you will need to include the exact number of blanks each time. For example:
WrkStr = %trimr(WrkStr) + ' ' + Fname;or perhaps:
D myBlanks s 50A inz( ' ' ) . . . WrkStr = %trimr(WrkStr) + %substr( myBlanks:1:10 ) + Fname;You can use a variable to choose a substring length if different lengths are needed between fields. Note that you can do this in a loop, but you'll probably need to set WrkStr to the value of your first sub-field before the loop. This question has become different from your previous one. In this one, the sub-fields are separated by an exact number of spaces and different sub-fields are separated by different numbers of spaces, which makes very little sense to me. Do you need each sub-field trimmed and then a fixed number of spaces after it? Tom
MyStr = 'FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME 20060101 STREET1 CITY11 STATE111 ... 'To get an exact number of spaces between each field, there are two general alternatives. You can replace the above statement with something like this:
MyStr = %trim(FIRST_NAME) + ' ' + %trim(LAST_NAME) + ' ' + %trim('20060101') + ' ' + %trim(STREET1) + ' ' + %trim(CITY11) + ' ' + %trim(STATE111) ... 'Or you could be a little more documenting and go with something like:
D myBlanks s 50A inz( ' ' ) . . . MyStr = %trim(FIRST_NAME) + %substr( myBlanks:1:10 ) + %trim(LAST_NAME) + %substr( myBlanks:1:5 ) + %trim('20060101') + %substr( myBlanks:1:5 ) + %trim(STREET1) + %substr( myBlanks:1:3 ) + %trim(CITY11) + %substr( myBlanks:1:5 ) + %trim(STATE111) ... 'That kind of makes it easier to see exactly how many spaces are needed between each sub-field. You would define myBlanks to be at least as long as the longest set of blanks that you needed. I chose 50 bytes because I didn't know what the maximum should be. The longest that you mentioned was only 10 bytes, so that might be enough. But be aware that this will not make it easy for another program to access the sub-fields in any kind of data structure. It will make it more difficult for another program to handle the data. So far, it's not making sense to do this. Tom
D MYBLANK10 S 10A INZ(*blank) D MYBLANk3 S 3A INZ(*blank) etc... MyStr = First_Name + MyBlank10 + Last_Name + MyBlank5 +....
For those who have to look at this after you, this may (I said may not will) make more sense. Just another option.
Use defined data structure:
D dsLine DS
D wk1 10A
D wk2 10A

The Soccer Companion
The Soccer Toolbox has a set of tools for soccer players to aid their game. The toolbox currently contains twp apps, the playbook and the scoreboard.
The Playbook app is similar to a coach's clipboard where you can drag around player and soccer ball markers to show various formations and plays to your teammates. If you want to run and organize certain plays, the playbook can certainly help you coah your teammates on what to do during certain plays. The playbook includes a snap-to-grid option where you can enable grid-snapping for your markers. You can also control how fast you want to animate your plays (1/2x, 1x and 4x). Once you take the time to setup formations and plays, you can save them for future use. You can also toggle between full field or half the field.
The Scoreboard app has a simple score keeping user interface along with a timer. You can enter the 2 team names and start tallying the scores for both teams. The timer be set to count up or count down from a preset time. Set the timer and then touch the time on the timer view to start and stop the timer. If you exit the timer while the timer is still running, the timer will still run when the app is closed. For instance, if you set the timer to 15:00 and while it is running you exit at 14:30. Then restart the scoreboard app 4 minutes later, it will automatically start counting down from 10:30.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add playbook markers to the field board?
Touch the color marker you want on the top bar and drag it onto the field.
How do I create a keyframe to the playbook?
Simply drag any markers/pieces on the field to create a keyframe. When a keyframe is created, the particular keyframe with show up as a yellow box. To change which frame you want to edit, touch the frame on the timeline. You can also touch the two buttons adjacent to the timeline to traverse the frames.
What's the difference between a "play" and a "formation"?
A formation is a snapshot or keyframe of a play animation. You can save any keyframe as a formation and reuse it for other plays. A play is the entire timeline. When you save or load a play, the entire timeline will be affected.

An Expatriate Shares Her Impressions of Mumbai
Bombay Jules shares her first impressions of Mumbai for those who've stayed there their entire lives
Vada Pavs, Shantaram, Aarey Milk Colony- and some hidden treasures from the crazy cosmopolis
Sometimes the best way to look at a place you know so well is with the impressions of an outsider looking in. Inundated as we've been with the same images of Mumbai on loop, Bombay Jules' descriptions of her temporary abode are delightful. What we love most about her columns is their refreshing candour- she doesn't condescend nor extol the virtues of the place but instead chooses to immerse herself in all its experiences. And just like any self-respecting Mumbaiyya, there are parts of the city she likes, and others that she doesn't like quite as much!
We'll let her share these experiences with you here:
What is the absolutely first memory you have of Mumbai?
Within 20 minutes of getting out of the airport on my first visit to Mumbai, we had a car crash! We were in a queue of traffic and our driver had to stop very abruptly. Unfortunately the car behind us was not so quick to react and went into the back of us. Like a domino effect, several more cars and a truck crashed behind that car. Our driver got out to argue with the owner of the car behind us and then all of a sudden – they drove off! I was most surprised as in the UK, we would exchange names and addresses and insurance details so that we could claim compensation. But that didn't happen – they just wanted to escape and not be liable for anything. Then we drove off leaving a trail of destruction behind us on the road. None of it was our driver's fault but I did feel shocked about the whole situation! That was my first taster of how things can work in India
Your favourite place in Mumbai to explore on foot
Having explored many places in Mumbai, I have to say that my favourite place by foot is Aarey Milk Colony - especially first thing in the morning when whisps of sunlight shine through the trees casting lovely shadows on the farm buildings. It is like a little piece of England right here in the city (except for the heat that is!). As a keen amateur photographer I love to take snaps of the farmworkers and the cows and children. It really is very picturesque.
Your favourite building in Mumbai
My favourite building in Mumbai is the beautifully kept Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Byculla. It is a fine example of colonial architecture and the collection inside is beautifully curated. Unfortunately, so many colonial era buildings and monuments are not kept as they should be in the city but I find that this building is still exactly as it should be (and litter free!).
Your favourite place in Mumbai to buy books
I just love to make book purchases at Kitab Khana in Fort (near Flora Fountain). Again, it has a colonial feel with its beautifully polished wooden bookcases and a peaceful library atmosphere pervades as you browse for chunky reference books, classic novels or contemporary Indian literature. There is even a little cafe at the back!
Your favourite art gallery in Mumbai
I have only been to one or two national art galleries in south Mumbai and I am afraid I wasn't too impressed by them. I do not like the amateurish art that is usually on display (and for sale) at the Jehangir. Back home, our public art galleries do not sell art – they are a showcase for our national treasures. However, I did recently go to an excellent exhibition of contemporary classic Indian art at The Delhi Art Gallery in Kala Ghoda and I was blown away by the quality of the paintings. It was called 'Mumbai Modern: Progressive Artist's Group 1947-2013' and I learnt a lot about some famous contemporary Indian artists. Again it was all for sale – but of course, I was too frightened to ask about the prices!
The places you'd recommend to someone who's stayed in Mumbai all their lives and likely not seen
I am always completely amazed by the number of Mumbaikars who contact me through my blog to give thanks that I have informed them about places in Mumbai that they never knew about! Aarey Milk Colony would be one of the places I would recommend (as mentioned above) but I would also tell them to see the Flamingo migration at Sewri between February and April. Bandra-ites should go and check out the street art of Ranwar (Waroda Road). Also – and I find this is a bit controversial with locals – I would recommend people do the Reality Gives tour of Dharavi. It is fascinating and overrides peoples' perceptions about what goes on the in the slums. Dharavi in fact generates $650m income a year from commercial activities. People should go and see how over 80% of Mumbai inhabitants actually live! (And all proceeds go back to funding community projects in Dharavi)
Your favourite trail for a run/morning walk in Mumbai
Apart from Aarey Milk Coloney which you have to take a hour's drive to you can forget this! I detest exercise and I find that it is almost impossible to go anywhere without spraining your ankle on Mumbai's badly constructed pavements. I also recently adopted a street dog and it has been challenging to find a nice walk where you are not attacked by other street dogs. Leafy Nargis Dutt Road is just about do-able and Carter Road/Joggers park I hear is a good place for joggers. It is one thing I miss most about the UK – the ability to walk anywhere unhindered and I miss our lovely green countryside for day long rambles.
Some of your favourite food haunts
I love Soam near Chowpatty and Swati Snacks in Tardeo for trying out classic Mumbai streetfood in a safe environment. My husband and I are also big fans of Pali Bhavan in Pali Naka, Bandra – with its beautiful interior and excellent curries which appeal to the Western palate. For western style food, the best executed dishes are to be found at The Table in Colaba. Truly excellent! We often eat at Royal China for its authentic and beautifully cooked Cantonese dishes and Dim Sum. Our favourite take-out places are Caravan Serai for North Indian curries and again, Royal China for Chinese. I am a big fan of Sushi but haven't yet found a really good place to eat it – although Shiro isn't bad.
Your favourite place to grab a cup of coffee/tea in Mumbai
I am not a coffee snob but I was quite pleased when Starbucks came to Mumbai. I also pick up the odd cappuccino takeout from Costa Coffee in Pali Naka. Tea is best made by my husband – he brings me a cup at 8am every morning before he goes to work!
Your favourite book with Mumbai as a back drop
I loved Shantaram(although a cliche!) – I really could picture life in the slums through his eyes but I was repulsed by the description of his stint in Arthur Road jail…especially the toilet part!
The best place in Mumbai to see with a young child/toddler
We don't have children so I can't answer this well. But I know from a friend who has a toddler that it can be challenging to go anywhere in this city – as children are not well catered for. I imagine a morning at Malabar Hanging Gardens could be quite pleasant – and you could let your child go up the giant boot there!
And finally a question all non-Mumbaiwallahs wonder about Mumbai. Have you had any exciting (or even not-so-exciting) celebrity sightings/encounters while you've been here
I think I am the most clueless expat there is when it comes to Indian celebrities. I would not recognise one if they came up and slapped me in the face! Apparently I sat right next to Shoba De in Serafina one time. I also walked right past a Bollywood couple in Pali Village Cafe recently without realising who they were (still can't remember their names!). I have also been stuck in traffic behind Sachin Tendulkar in his Nissan GT-R. I recently saw the whole Indian cricket team walk through Nagpur airport – including MS Dhoni. When I went to Jodhpur with friends, we tried to crash Akshay Kumar's party at Umaid Bhavan. But we were unsuccessful (just as well, as I don't have a clue who he is either!). (Editors Note: Bombay Jules is not lying!! She referred to him as Akash Kumar in the first draft. Maybe Ranveer Singh will help change her mind??)

Do you want REAL Cannabis legalization in California in 2016?
Are you looking forward to the potential of Cannabis legalization in California come 2016? So am I! Have been for quite some time now. Since 2009 I have actually dedicated my life to sharing and educating people about the truths and potential of Cannabis Hemp. Its one of the main reasons I am writing this article today. The future of Cannabis legalization in California may seem almost destined to pass with flying colors in 2016. I assure you, it is not going to be as simple as it is perceived. What some may consider legalization, doesn't necessarily equate to the legalization you may be expecting. Now with that being said, there are only a few ways to ensure that real legalization happens in 2016. And almost all of them start and end with you. Yeah you, the reader. Not just you, me and everyone else also.
First things first. If you're sitting back waiting for the (DPA) Drug Policiy Alliance, (Norml) National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws, (ASA) Americans For Safe Access, and other so-called activists groups to deliver legalization for you. You probably would not get to excited about the final result. Do you believe they will form an initiative that favors the average patient, or consumer over the current medical marijuana industry leaders and stake holders? If you do, you have been sadly mislead. Why? Because these very organizations are ran and supported by, you guessed it, the very Industry leaders and business owners who enjoy their absorbent profits from the current unregulated model. How could I possibly know this? I have seen it first hand. I have traveled up and down this state to several cannabis events sponsored by these groups. I have seen the subversion they use to promote the Industry over the plant itself. I specifically recall the big ASA lobbying event at the state capitol a few years back. Where they specifically advertised the weekend as a patient lobbying day. So I wanted to check this lobbying day out for myself. I figured at least it would be an educational experience. Which it was, for several reasons.
When we arrived at this local union hall in the middle of nowhere in Sacramento one of the first things I noticed was there was a lot of dress shirts and Dockers. Everywhere! They all had their ASA lobbying day badges around their Necks looking professional. They had very nice and lavish charter buses they had rented to bus the "Patients" from other districts to Sacramento. Where were these patients? After clambering around during their meeting recording what I could with my camera I had seen virtually no patients. Every word out of their mouths was about lobbying there representatives the following day at the capitol building . All about regulating the medical marijuana industry. The thing I found most interesting was after the meeting I wanted to speak with some of these patients and get there take on the meeting. Almost every single person I spoke with was a patient in the legal sense, but not your everyday average patient. They were all Industry insiders, and Dispensary owners there to lobby their representatives for more restrictive regulations in regards to the medical cannabis industry. I think one of the most telling signs was how excited Don Duncan got once Stephan Deangelo and his Brother showed up at the capitol building. My point is, they tell you one thing to your face, and do another behind closed doors. They verbally promote legalization, regulation and reform. But not the kind that benefits the everyday consumer and patient. If you are relying on them to author something that will meet your needs as a Consumer or a Patient. Think again!
One of my favorite Hemp activists Chris Conrad wrote a really good piece back during the TaxCannabis prop-19 debate. ( http://weedactivist.com/2010/07/25/another-word-on-jack-and-prop-19-from-chris-conrad/ ) (Excerpt) – Initially Jack deeply hated Prop 215. He literally stumped up and down the state cursing out hemp activists who backed it. He screamed at us, called us traitors for working on medical use, and claimed that Dennis Peron was secretly against legalization. When 215 was filed, Jack filed the California Hemp Initiative (CHI) on the 1996 ballot to block it. and changed the name to "California Hemp _and Health_ Initiative" so people signing it would think they had signed Prop 215, to mess with the signature count. When I called him on it, he said he was trying to keep Prop 215 off the ballot because, among other things, "people will stop working for legalization and we'll be stuck with medical forever. No hemp, no legalization; that will be the end." Later he circulated the CCU petitions for pay, then before the election came to support it completely. Now some people actually credit Jack for 'passing Prop 215. Jack vociferously opposed Senate Bill 420, but he loved the dispensaries it allowed to open. ( click the Above link to read the entire piece).
Jacks words – "people will stop working for legalization and we'll be stuck with medical forever. No hemp, no legalization; that will be the end." Jack Knew it then, and they also knew it then. Guess what ? They still know it now! This is exactly what we have been dealing with for the last 19 years. The industry leaders and club owners don't want there quasi legal black market profits going anywhere. So enter the DPA, Norml and ASA with their attempts at dividing the legalization movement as a whole. They certainly don't want the everyday average consumer to be able to cultivate their own Cannabis at home, over buying their middle man marked up products in their stores. Do you think (Norml), (ASA) and the (DPA) want everyone in California cultivating a possible 99 plants legally? Do you think they want to lose that revenue stream? Not just the dispensary owners and industry leaders but the activist groups themselves? No they don't! and they are very active right now at subverting attention away from the CCHI 2016 initiative for other initiatives that have not even been written yet. Yet they all love to invoke the legacy of jack Herer. Like Stephan Deangelo of Harborside in Oakland Ca. One of the Worlds largest dispensaries in the world by the way. He constantly speaks of how good friends him and Jack were, and how they shared the same vision in regards to legalization and cannabis, Well I will have to beg to differ here. I personally asked Stephan Deangelo during the CCHI 2012 signature campaign, at Harborside's yearly shindig called The Deep Green Festival if he supported the Jack here Initiative. He simply replied, I do not support any initiative until they have already registered for the ballot. So the man who makes the most money, and the most profits in California, from the Patients of the medical cannabis industry no less, won't support or finance any legalization effort until it has already officially made the ballot. Share the same vision my ass!
The point is, if you rely on industry leaders, and activists groups to do the work for you, you'd better get ready for a heaping pile of disappointment. Trust me when I say they will let you down every time. In the words of Jack Herer – "You guys have to be warriors for your own freedom. You can't depend on me or anyone else to do it for you. This freedom comes from our willingness to put our acts on the line and teach people all the comprehensive information we have learned about cannabis hemp." We don't need big money, we need big motivation and big determination from an educated base of citizenry. The CCHI 2016 is organizing up and down, and throughout the entire state as I write this article. We are organizing a base of volunteers and supporters to get the signatures necessary to qualify for the November 2016 ballot.

Assessing socially skilled behaviour for vocational tenure in adults with developmental disability

Socially skilled behaviour is a critical factor in an individual's ability to secure and maintain employment. Due to the very nature of their handicap, persons with mental retardation often exhibit social skills deficits, thus restricting access to competitive employment and the status of full membership in society that such employment facilitates. Previous attempts to train socially skilled behaviour in persons with mental retardation have been hampered by the lack of a valid assessment tool to evaluate program effectiveness and inform program content. The purpose of this paper was to develop such an instrument by extending work done by Lagreca, Stone & Bell (1982) which utilized Goldfried & D'Zurilla's (1969) behaviour-analytic model of social skill assessment. This research was to also evaluate the validity of the assessment tool developed. However, data collected from the first phase of the study suggested that within the workshop setting, individuals responsible for placement of trainees in competitive employment rated situations distinctly different than did those individuals who were responsible for counselling or instructing trainees. This finding jeopardized the validity of the project and it was therefore halted. In recognition that the two groups within the workshop setting, placement staff and counsellor/instructors, would need to understand their differing perspectives of persons with mental retardation before a social skills program could be developed, a further review of the literature was conducted. It was argued that motivational contingencies were different between competitive placements and the workshop environment and this could influence the behaviours observed in the two environments. Further, organizational contingencies could also influence the perspectives of the two groups, placement vs. counsellor/instructors. While data from this study could not support either argument, it did indicate that placement staff viewed the potential of mentally retarded to resolve difficult situations more positively than did the counsellors/instructors. Previous research has based inventories of problematic situations on either competitive employers input or on counsellor/instructors input. The resulting emphasis of one group or the other fails to a) recognize the importance of social validity of the training program in both the competitive and workshop: and, b) fails to address the motivational and organizational contingencies influencing the behaviours of both the individuals with mental retardation and the staff serving them. The final outcome of the study for the workshop was the recognition that a social skills training program was necessary but that the two groups would need to negotiate the objectives for the program more clearly.

Sen. Sonny Angara expresses hope it'll be a 'great Pride month' for LGBT Filipinos
Outrage Magazine | 9 June 2017
Sen. Sonny Angara – in a short clip dedicated to the LGBT community in the Philippines – extended his felicitations for the Pride month, just as he expressed hope it'll be a 'great Pride month' for LGBT Filipinos.
Angara is – by and large – known as an LGBT ally, sponsoring one of the earlier versions of the Anti-Discrimination Bill (ADB), Senate Bill 948 (or the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Act).
SB 948 – which eyed to prohibit discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, SOGI, HIV status, relationship status, disability, language, physical features, health status and medical history – failed to pass. Under the proposed measure, acts of discrimination include promoting and encouraging stigma, inciting hatred or violence, inflicting harm on health and well-being, and engaging in profiling. Also to be penalized are denial of political, civil and cultural rights; right to education, work, organize, expression; and denial of access to goods and services. Had it become law, offenders may be penalized with not less than a year but not more than six years imprisonment or a fine of not more than P500,000, or both.
In 2016, while guesting on a noontime show in TV giant ABS-CBN, Angara promoted SB 948, which was then pending in the Senate. He was quoted as saying that "any form of discrimination threatens order and stability in our country. It is imperative that discrimination — or any act that establishes, promotes and perpetuates standing inequalities and disregards the right to equality of treatment — be reduced."
Angara, who has yet to verbalize his position on marriage equality, nonetheless stated that "I believe… LGBT unions should have equal rights under the law, including rights to inherit and other property rights.
(Established in April 2007, Outrage Magazine remains the only publication exclusive for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and allied community in the Philippines.)

November 8 in print edition–scroll down to the third letter at "War and peace" (links added):
Your editorial recommends that Senegal be the focus for renewed peace operations by the Canadian military (Start In Senegal, For The New Peacekeeping, Nov. 4). But the government has made it clear that the point of such missions is to support UN-led peacekeeping operations; unfortunately, there is no such UN operation in Senegal to support.
It seems much more probable that the government will commit some military personnel to the UN mission in Mali, with Senegal serving as a logistics hub to support both them and the UN mission more broadly.
The editorial also states that "a counterinsurgency in a chaotic, arid country such as Mali … would be outside the experience of most members of the Canadian Armed Forces." That "arid country" sounds like Kandahar province in Afghanistan where thousands of Canadians fought a counterinsurgency against the Taliban from 2006 to 2011.
How soon we apparently forget.

Home loan interest rates are at a record low at the moment, but one of the challenges that many buyers are still facing is the threat of rising property prices.
The latest NAB Residential Property Index points to a further increase in home values across the country and suggests the trend may not be about to subside any time soon.
Rises are expected to be more modest than they have been recently, NAB forecasts, which will largely be the result of an increase in unemployment, affordability constraints and struggling household income.
"We are forecasting average house price growth of around 4 per cent through the year to September 2015 and 2 per cent through the year to September 2016," said NAB Group Chief Economist Alan Oster.
Where are property prices at their strongest?
Some parts of the country are performing stronger than others at the moment, although the outlook for all states remains broadly positive.
Predictions suggest house prices are likely to increase 2.9 per cent in Queensland in the near future, followed by 2.4 per cent in Victoria and 2.3 per cent in New South Wales.
Demand for certain property types is also expected to gather pace, with inner-city, low-rise apartment and houses in middle and outer rings likely to be especially strong.
Brisbane and Sydney are expected to lead the pack over the next 12 months, with Melbourne and Adelaide following closely behind. Perth is expected to see its prices struggle.
What difficulties are facing the market?
Despite the property market appearing strong at the moment, there are nevertheless some challenges it's likely to come up against.
Supply and demand
One challenge is that not enough properties are being constructed in order to meet demand, which will become more crucial as the population continues to grow.
New South Wales is bearing the brunt of this trend at present, as NAB reveals how house price gains have replaced credit availability as the main constraint. South Australia and the Northern Territory are experiencing similar problems.
The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show construction activity continued to rise across the country in the June quarter, with the value of new residential building work up 3.9 per cent.
Work completed on new houses was up 3.2 per cent in value terms, while other residential construction projects increased 4.9 per cent.
Commenting on the data, Senior Economist at the Housing Industry Association Shane Garrett explained how the building sector is up against various problems of its own.
"These include high taxation, stamp duties, planning restrictions, and delays in making residential land available," Mr Garrett noted. "Failure to tackle these constraints will mean that the ability of the industry to provide for Australia's long-term housing requirements will continue to be seriously undermined."
Overseas buyers
Another headwind is the role overseas buyers are playing in the Australian property market, which the bank found to be particularly prominent during the third quarter of the year.
Mr Oster commented: "Foreign buyers accounted for 16.8 per cent of total demand for new property in quarter three, or about one in six of all buyers, with this share tipped to rise to 17.3 per cent over the next year."
He emphasised how although foreign purchaser activity is evident all over the country, it's especially prominent in Victoria where they account for 24.8 per cent of total demand.
This comes at a time when local investors are in decline, as they represented just 27 per cent of national demand during the third quarter, down from 32.5 per cent in the second.

Marriage Enrichment Ministry
God designed marriage and He intended it to be a permanent, intimate and loving relationship between a man and a woman. But, there are challenges in every marriage. If your marriage is weak, it needs to be stregthened. If your marriage is strong, it needs to be reinforced. The only way to be assured of getting God's results is to do things God's way; but there are very few places and opportunities to grow in our understanding of what the Bible teaches about the biblical roles of husbands and wives.
The Marriage Enrichment Ministry's focus and purpose is to enrich the lives of couples who are married or engaged. We're committed to bringing couples into a closer, more intimate relationship with God and their mates by providing tools to enrich marriages through education, activities to promote communication and intimacy and biblical understanding of the precepts of marriage. We offer classes, workshops, conferences, retreats and other events designed to equip and better the lives of families. Join us! We come together every third Saturday of the month at 7:00 pm.

Officials from the authority said their first priority is completion of delayed projects.
Of the 1,150 complaints received in the past year, as many as 950 are regarding projects that have been delayed by at least five years. A majority of these complaints are from around 30,000 homebuyers who are hassled over delay in delivery of their housing projects.
They have been waiting for their dream homes for years, but have ended up paying EMIs on the home loans and rent for their current residences, as their projects have been delayed by apathetic builders.
The regulatory authority has issued notices to 52 builders to complete their documentation and register with H-Rera regarding 70 projects, as well as share detailed status of their ongoing projects in Gurgaon. They have been given time till October-end to respond to the notices. If the responses are considered unsatisfactory, a penalty will be imposed on them.
According to officials of the department of town and country planning (DTCP), over 3,000 projects have been issued permits in Gurgaon till date.
Contrast this with only 250 projects that have been registered by builders with the authority so far. H-Rera officials said that a major-ity of complaining homebuyers have paid up over 60% of the construction cost of their project.
"The end-user is suffering because they are paying both EMIs and rent. These people have invested their life's savings in these projects because they want a house of their own. However, their homes are not being delivered to them for years. In many projects, there is no clarity on when the projects will get ready," said an official.
Not only will the authority impose penalty on the builders for delaying projects, they will also recommend FIRs against them.
"Strict action will be taken against those who don't comply with the authority's regulations. Rera was formed to address grievances of homebuyers. We've taken action against a few builders in the past few months, and will take action in a more streamlined and stricter manner from now on."

A common bit of advice given to writers is that in order to improve, you should try to write something every day. Oftentimes, that's easier said than done. Whether you're writing a blog, a short story, an essay, or something else, your environment is often full of distractions. Maybe you're distracted by the Internet, maybe you've been staring at a blank document for twenty minutes. Maybe you're just letting your mind wander. No matter what's stopping you, getting started is the hardest part. My personal experience has told me that sometimes, you just have to break the mold a bit to get started. If nothing's coming to you for your current project, take a break from the norm for a few minutes and try pushing the limits of your skill to see what you can do.
1. Write outside your genre: Do you normally write nonfiction? Try writing a short story. Do you write slice of life novels? Try your hand at fantasy. Have you never written a poem? Give it a try. No matter what you normally write, find out what your comfort zone is and push at its edges to write something you've never written much of. Practicing by trying something novel can sometimes keep you focused better, in addition to expanding your horizons as to what you can do.
2. Write something completely insane: Not everything you write has to be shared. Another way to push boundaries is to come up with the wildest idea you can think of and stretch your imagination to its limits. After all, one of the best ways to relieve the stress of feeling stuck is to let down your boundaries and make yourself laugh a bit.
3. Write fanfiction: Fanfiction isn't just a pastime for teenagers, it's a genuine way to practice your writing skills with a story you already love as a platform. Take your favorite fictional characters as you know them and put them in a new setting. Not that into fiction? Write a nonfiction parody. Have fun with it, as it's a great low-pressure way to exercise your creativity when you're feeling stuck.
4. Likewise, mess with your own work: If you get stuck in the middle of a piece, go to a separate space and stay on that task, but incorporate some of that wild, mind-wandering creativity into your project. Of course you might not want to keep that in your final draft, but if you let yourself go off on a tangent while keeping the subject matter in mind, you can get all the benefits of my previous suggestions without taking your mind too far off task!
Even if you want to write a bit every day, sometimes you just aren't feeling it. But if you push your own limits and write outside the box, you can still exercise those writing skills. Take a break from thinking about one thing and try some fun, low-pressure writing activities. You may find that when you get back on task, the ideas flow much more easily.

Pike Loop, a Robot-Built Installation in NYCSep 30 2009 - Nov 14 2009
Completed Installation on display until early January
Location: Pike Street between Division Street and East Broadway (map) Digital Materiality exhibition at Storefront: On show until November 14
In September 2009, Storefront for Art and Architecture will inaugurate an exhibition of the work of Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler, Architecture and Digital Fabrication, ETH Zurich and, in conjunction with NYC Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, Storefront will present the first architecture project to be digitally fabricated on site, at 1:1 scale, in the US.
Developed through their research at ETH Zürich Faculty of Architecture, Gramazio & Kohler's work explores highly complex architectural artifacts, built by industrial robots typically used to assemble automobiles and perform other high-precision tasks. The accuracy, strength and speed of these robots allow them to fabricate architectural forms of unprecedented complexity and intricacy.
Gramazio & Kohler's work represents the cutting edge of innovation in the field of digital fabrication in architecture. For many years architects have relied on digital manufacturing processes such as CNC milling or 3D printing as a tool for formal research at model-scale. For the first time, Gramazio & Kohler's work explores the potential of mobile digital fabrication techniques that can fabricate at 1:1 scale on site.
Positioned on the central mall on Pike Street, the robot will work for up to four weeks - in full view of the public - to construct a brick wall, a highly sculptural response to the specific identity of the site. For the Pike Loop installation, more than seven thousand bricks aggregate to form an infinite loop that weaves along the pedestrian island. In changing rhythms the loop lifts off the ground and intersects itself at its peaks.
The exhibition at Storefront Gallery will present the results of Gramazio & Kohler's ongoing research into digital fabrication in architecture at ETH Zurich Faculty of Architecture. The same robot, R-O-B, unit recently built the award-winning installation, Structural Oscillations, at the 2008 architectural biennial in Venice.
