text: Wednesday 14 January 2015 Have you been to the learning skills office? What is the learning skills office? So now you know who the learning skills team is (see our first blog) it's time to introduce you to what we do here in the learning skills office – a busy hive with students from across the world availing themselves of our services. To complement our online study skills resource succeed@solent (see second blog) two tutors, Helen Capstick and Carina Buckley, are available to offer help and advice on a one to one basis. We can help you with various skills including essay writing, presentations, maths and statistics, referencing, research, time management, critical thinking – and much more! We are based in ML002 just around the corner from the front desk of the Mountbatten library. How do I make an appointment? One to one appointments can be booked via email or twitter (@SucceedAtSolent), and run Monday to Friday between 10am-midday, and 2pm-4pm. At busy times of year we recommend making an appointment at least five days ahead to avoid disappointment. Generally, one to one appointments last between 30-45 minutes and are tailored to suit the individual's needs and requirements. We can offer general advice and support regarding academic work as well as discuss the planning and structure of individual assignments together. Sometimes the sessions are simply confidence boosting. It's good to talk! Top 5 questions at the learning skills door. We thought it might be interesting to give you a rundown of the most common enquiries we receive from students. As the bar chart shows (below), students approach us with a range of different problems. The top 5 questions this term have been: 1. How do I structure my dissertation? Coming in at number 1, all things dissertation-related are flooding in to the office right now. Our main advice is to plan carefully. Generally speaking, a dissertation will need an introduction, a literature review, a discussion section, a conclusion and a bibliography. Some will also contain a methodology and a results section. Drafting each of these in turn will be an immense relief to those of you out there who are having trouble getting started. Make next week your 'introduction' week; for the week after, dive into your 'literature review'… You'll soon find you're into a great work pattern without even knowing it. See succeed@solent for more information. 2. Can I get my grammar checked? This question comes hot on the heels of dissertation woes. A grammar check is NOT a service we provide, but succeed@solent has recently launched a grammar book which is beginning to address some of these issues. We hope that this goes some way to answering some of the main concerns. The language centre also offers students English language support – simply send an email to Jo Ellis for a 30 minute appointment and further information. 3. Have I referenced correctly? Coming in at a close third, referencing is a crucial element of assessed work at university and needs a lot of attention. Without referencing, your work could be accused of plagiarism. There are two parts to making (or 'citing') references: Referencing within the text Referencing at the end of the text (in the bibliography) Remember, for referencing within the assignment you always need an author and date. For referencing at the end of the assignment you will need a complete record of the source you have used including year of publication, title and viewed date (if it is an online resource). Remember -the reference list is always arranged in alphabetical order by author, then year. The succeed@solent guide on referencing and plagiarism is a good place to start for further information. 4. Have I been reflective enough? Reflective writing is very different from writing an academic essay. Whilst essay writing is impersonal, considers the views of others, and uses third person, reflective writing is the opposite. It is allowed to be personal, welcomes your own personal views, is written in first person and will often find solutions to problems. It is a much more contemplative piece than an academic essay. For more help and a list of key questions to consider when reviewing your reflective work visit the succeed@solent guide to reflective writing. The Downloadables section also contains a lot of valuable resources to help you review your own reflective writing. 5. What's the difference between an aim and an objective? This question crops up throughout the year but still continues to baffle and perplex! Aims are statements of intent. They are usually written in broad terms. They set out what you hope to achieve at the end of the project. Objectives should be specific statements that define measurable outcomes. Ask yourself: what steps have been taken to achieve the desired outcome? When writing your objectives try to use strong positive statements. 6. Can I see you now? Technically yes, we'd love to see you! Drop-ins are available but it depends on how hectic the office gets, so we recommend that you email us ahead of time to avoid disappointment. And finally, for those of you who like statistics. The chart below shows the proportion of different nationalities visiting the learning skills office – look what an international hub we have become! And remember – one to one appointments can be booked via email or twitter, running between 10 and 12, and 2 and 4pm (Monday to Friday). We look forward to meeting you soon!

Thursday, Nov 6, 2008
South San Francisco, Calif. and Melville, New York -- November 6, 2008 --Genentech, Inc., (NYSE: DNA) and OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSIP) today announced that a global Phase III study (SATURN) met its primary endpoint and showed Tarceva® (erlotinib) significantly extended the time patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lived without their cancer getting worse when given immediately following initial treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, compared to placebo. There were no new or unexpected safety signals in the study and adverse events were consistent with those observed in previous NSCLC clinical trials evaluating Tarceva.
The SATURN study results are being fully analyzed and the data will be submitted for presentation at a future medical meeting. OSI, Genentech and Roche will discuss next steps for a potential new indication for Tarceva with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Health Authorities.
"We believe that Tarceva as a once-a-day oral therapy, which has a well-established safety profile, may be well-suited as a maintenance therapy in the first-line setting following chemotherapy," said Gabriel Leung, President, OSI Oncology. "We are excited about the prospect that for the first time patients may have a treatment alternative that is different from traditional chemotherapy and extends the time patients live without their cancer progressing following initial treatment."
"We are pleased by the findings as they represent another step forward in our hopes of providing more options to patients throughout their battle with lung cancer," said Hal Barron, M.D., Genentech's senior vice president, Development and chief medical officer.
Tarceva is currently approved as a second-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC, who have progressed following treatment with at least one prior chemotherapy regimen, based on a 37 percent improvement in overall survival compared to placebo (hazard ratio 0.73).
"There is an unmet need for treatments that can be used as early as possible following initial treatment of NSCLC and the results from the SATURN study provide a strong rationale for introducing Tarceva as a maintenance therapy in this difficult to treat disease," said Professor F. Capuzzo, M.D., Istituto Clinico Humanitas IRCCS, Milan, Italy and lead investigator of the SATURN study.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) lung cancer is the single largest cause of cancer deaths among men and women in the United States and is responsible for nearly 30 percent of cancer deaths. The ACS estimates that in 2008 more than 215,000 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer and 162,000 will die of the disease. NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer.
About SATURN
SATURN is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, Phase III study conducted by Roche that enrolled 889 patients with advanced NSCLC at approximately 160 sites worldwide. Patients were treated with at least four cycles of standard first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and were then randomized to Tarceva or placebo if their cancer did not progress. The primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, safety and an evaluation of exploratory biomarkers.
About Tarceva
Tarceva is a small molecule designed to target the EGFR pathway, which is one of the factors critical to cell growth in NSCLC and pancreatic cancers. Tarceva is designed to inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the EGFR signaling pathway inside the cell.
Tarceva is FDA-approved for use as a monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has progressed after one or more courses of chemotherapy. Results from two, multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase III trials conducted in first-line patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC showed no clinical benefit with the concurrent administration of Tarceva with platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel or gemcitabine and cisplatin) and its use is not recommended in that setting.
Tarceva is also approved in combination with gemcitabine for the treatment of patients who have not received previous chemotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed or pancreatic cancer that has spread to distant body organs.
Tarceva Safety
There have been infrequent reports of serious Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)-like events, including fatalities, in patients receiving Tarceva for treatment of NSCLC, pancreatic cancer or other advanced solid tumors. Cases of hepatic failure, hepatorenal syndrome, acute renal failure (all including fatalities), and renal insufficiency have been reported during use of Tarceva. When receiving Tarceva therapy, women should be advised against becoming pregnant or breastfeeding. Tarceva is pregnancy category D. The most common adverse reactions in patients with NSCLC receiving Tarceva monotherapy were rash and diarrhea. The most common adverse reactions in patients with pancreatic cancer receiving Tarceva plus gemcitabine were fatigue, rash, nausea, anorexia, and diarrhea.

If you are interested in starting a local product/service provider referral service, here's how to get started.
There are a few ways to start any local referral business. You can go about it one of two ways. OPTION #1: Offer contractors to join your referral service for a monthly fee, and then post their information on a well advertised website for people in need of their services to review their company information. (Visit Servicemagic.com for an example of contractor information sites). OPTION #2: Here you will set up a website where you let project owner's post their projects for Free, and charge contractors to become members to access the posted projects. (Visit bidclerk.com for an example of project posting sites).
For the first option you will need several members on your sales staff. You will need to contact many local product and service providers to promote your new business. Explain how the public will find the information, via a telephone number and/or website, as well as how you will advertise to the public to get calls and visits to the website. The important thing here is to keep track of the number of calls/site visits to be able to give an accurate number of potential leads each new member can expect. It's probably a good idea to limit the number of members for each trade heading (no more than 3-4), so that each one has the option to bid each project for their trade, at least until you are getting enough requests to support multiple members.
The second option will probably be a bit easier to sell and will be done via a website. I would start advertising for "FREE Project Postings" immediately, as the more posted projects you have available, the more members you will get to purchase a membership to your website. You can get immediate postings by contacting local builders and general contractors to see if they are in need of any sub-contractors. This will help boost the number of listings you have. You could also look in the help-wanted section of your local classified ads and post flyers anywhere you can promoting "FREE Project Postings."
Search the internet for other "Referral Services" and get more ideas from these sites. ServiceMagic.com is a great example of posting CONTRACTOR INFORMATION. BidClerk.com is good to reference for posting PROJECTS.

Congratulations are in order for anyone disciplined enough to lose massive amounts of weight. Unfortunately, the end goal can be a let-down for some. Although the weight is gone, the redundant skin remains; sagging, folding and rippling on virtually every area of the body. In essence, the body has shrunk, but the suit of skin has not. A body lift is a remedy.
A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin.
Excess sagging fat and skin are removed and the procedure(s) can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, which is commonly known as cellulite, but should not be the main expectation of surgery.
Body lift procedures require extensive incisions, the length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. Incisions are usually placed where they can be concealed by clothing and swimsuits.
A body lift may include these areas:
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty surgically removes an apron of excess skin and fat and repositions and tightens tissue. The incision may run side to side or continue circumferentially to include the back in a procedure called belt lipectomy. The belt lipectomy lifts and removes the skin of the low back and buttocks.
Loss of fat and fullness leaves the breasts sagging. A breast lift or mastopexy is necessary to lift the breasts back into position.
Mons pubis
Excess fat may remain on the mons pubis. Mons pubis reduction via Liposuction can be performed to reduce bulk.
Thigh Lift
Inner and outer thighs can be somewhat smoothed in appearance with a thigh lift to remove extra skin. The incision is made near the groin and lifting is done on the inner thigh only. Liposuction of inner and outer thighs and knees reduces circumference.
Arm Lift
Also called a Brachioplasty removes the hanging skin of the upper arm after weight loss. The incision is made vertically from underarm to above the elbow.
Although these procedures are detailed for those with massive weight loss, any of the above procedures may be performed on individuals simply looking to tighten up aging or hereditary body features.
If you have lost a great deal of weight and are seeking improvement of any of these areas, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Gilbert Lee of Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa in San Diego. He will tailor your procedures to suit your post-weight loss appearance.

Causes of Hair Loss in Children
There can be a variety of causes from which children may get thinning of hairs. This may be genetic and can also be caused by a number of factors which are responsible for these and these may be treated with expert advice.
Causes of Hair Loss in Children:
Below are the several factors for which hair loss can occur in children.
1. Improper Diet:
The basic reason for which many children start to see balding is due to the reason that the diet may lack proper nutrition and vitamins. This can be if there is lack of hunger in teenagers and this can also be due to certain growth hormone imbalances. A doctor should be consulted accordingly.
Proper hydration is another important thing that many women do not do. A normal person who has a properly maintained weight should drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water for the proper metabolic functions. This helps the food to get digested and in proper absorption by the body cells. Proper sleep is also essential. It is advised that proper sleep should be there for every person so that the body gets enough rest to have a proper glad secretion which prevents these problems.
See More Article: What Is The Reason For Hair Fall
2. Hormonal Imbalances:
There may be certain hormonal imbalances, which may be responsible for this. However, in some cases this problem can get internally treated with certain medicines.
3. Metabolic Problems:
There may be several types of internal disorders which can be like metabolic or indigestion problems which can lead to this. A person should check with doctors to see if there are any bile or other pigment secretion problems, or if a person does not feel hungry at proper intervals that also can be a reason behind this. Improper glad secretions and poor metabolic problems should be treated as per prescription from certified medical professionals to get rid of this type of problems.
See More Article: Female Hair Loss Pattern
4. Alopecia:
This is a disease in which round patches of hair on the head start to shed. This can get very dangerous is this is not properly treated. However there is no permanent treatment for this. Doctors should be consulted to improve the conditions of the patient.
See More Article: Signs Of Hair Loss In Men
5. Trichotillomania:
This is a psychological problem which many face at young age which is the habit of pulling the strands out without being able to control this habit. This in time leads to empty patches but this can be treated with the help of doctors and counselling. Mental health drugs can be prescribed depending on the severity of the condition. Session counselling and proper visits may help to solve this dangerous and severe type of problem.
Other Causes of Hair Loss in Children:
There may be quite a number of factors which are other than those as mentioned above. Sudden accidents or the use of sudden cleansers can be an effective reason. There can also be thing which a person may do un-hygienically like not cleansing the sections as and regularly as required. It can also be due to use of very harsh chemicals to treat dryness which can alternatively damage in a very dangerous pattern.
There can be styling reasons which is common for people as due to the growth of styles and fashion industry, people try to copy the looks of celebrities and then they can have damaging effects. These can also be cause alternatively with equipment's which are used for these purposes. If the proper amount of heat is used, then this does not generally cause any harm. However, if a larger amount of this is used then this may be cause for partial or patch balding.

Calling vs. Ego
This is awesome. In short:
- Ego fears not having or doing something. Calling fears not expressing or being something.
- Ego needs anxiety to survive. Calling needs silence to survive.
- Ego manifests as burnout. Calling manifests as fulfillment.
- Ego focuses on the result. Calling focuses on the process.
- Ego wants to preserve the self. Calling wants to impact others.

It's been another big year for Data.
With last year's numbers rolling in throughout the industry, it's obvious that data has had another big year. With solid growth in the SE Asian markets, and with the mobile sector sky rocketing, there seems to be no signs of abatement. It is now truer than ever that the rise of data is both permanent and exponential. That's not to say that there haven't been significant challenges in the market. The primary challenge remains education and training to fill the skills gap. The war for analytics talent is hard won, and companies continue to struggle to assemble teams that can move their organization to the top of the analytics value chain.
2014 saw incremental changes in SE Asian analytics activity. In the banking sector, we saw banks making their first careful steps into data linkage and customer analytics. In the retail sector, data liberation still remains a large concern, as companies grapple with the consequences and repercussions of being first movers in the data sharing game. Finally, we saw people analytics reach critical mass, with HR departments in the region making increasing use of predictive analytics to better attract, target and retain the right candidates whilst keeping them engaged. However, these challenges remain exactly that: challenges to be overcome. DataSeer remains determined to be the best among those to meet them head on. With a rapidly expanding headcount, more commercial analytics projects than ever before, and a newly expanded commercial product suite, I'm thrilled to see what the next year will bring.
This year also sees the launch of the DataSeer Data Science bootcamp. An end-to-end 9 week Data Science course, this joint initiative with Pointwest Technologies marks the first comprehensive Data Science training bootcamp in the region. Providing a grounding in the full data science technology stack, the bootcamp also includes a firm grounding in statistical theory. Teaching has always been one of my passions, and I can't wait to see the DataSeer bootcamp add to the SE Asian data science skills pool
No message from the MD would be complete without an inspirational quote, and in this I'm not willing to be an outlier: David Leonhardt from the NY Times, when asked what Big Data was tells us:
Big Data is nothing more than a tool for capturing reality — just as newspaper reporting, photography and long-form journalism are. But it's an exciting tool, because it holds the potential of capturing reality in some clearer and more accurate ways than we have been able to do in the past.
Like David, I'm committed to the future of data analytics and the new data horizon, and to firmly grasp the nettle in the coming year.

Tip for seeing color: punch a little hole in a 2"x3" cardboard. Use it to "isolate" color areas in your still life set-up or plein air view. Mix and paint that color. Do this for every main shape/area of your painting. You will mix incredible colors..no more mud. Carry this little "spot screen" with you on a walk. Ask yourself; what color is that building? road? mountian? car? Especially look at shadows. Now use the spot screen on the same objects. Wow! Paint what you see, not what you know.

Tuxedo Cat, Oil Pastel, Art tips #5
Artist Statement 2008
Thank you for taking time today to visit my exhibit!
I have been a professional artist for nearly 40 years, living and working in my Ketchum home and studio since 1978 with husband Gary, son Corey and pug dog Jack
My current direction is painting the still life in oils. I use traditional oil painting techniques on canvas, linen or gesso board. Craftsmanship is very important to me. I use only the best materials in time honored ways that will assure my work stays true to form. Small paintings are given the same careful attention as larger work.
My still lifes are about finding the beauty in everyday objects. I am especially drawn to vintage objects that have had a previous life.
The most interesting part of painting to me is the composition or design phase. The beauty of still life is that I am the conductor; I get to move the objects around until I see an arrangement that is pleasing and dynamic to my eye. I look for relationships of shapes, color, contrasts of light & dark and, of course, what is to be the center of interest. I employ these same elements of design to landscape or animal paintings, too.
Because my paintings are strong in design and color they bring life and energy to a room.
Fellow artist, Elizabeth Floyd said "I like the way Jennifer's paintings seem to tell a story, as if we are getting a glimpse of someone's daily life, with an action about to take place that will alter the vignette we have just been privileged to witness."
In the summer and fall I enjoy teaching workshops and sharing my artistic process with others.
Here's the new, shorter version:

Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, Chicago Cows, Labrador Retreiver, New Mexico Painted Ponies
Our Pug Jack
Corey's Sweetie Rat
All image copyright J.Bellinger
I need to get back in the studio and paint! Prepping images for my new web site is taking tons of time. My oil painting workshop is going well, day 3 of a 4 day class completed. My students are coming over to the studio this Saturday.
I decided to post images of "Wood River Pet Lab". Our local animal shelter has used these fiberglass lab forms for big fund raisers. The event was patterned after the Chicago Cows, New Mexico's Painted Ponies, etc. Artists are commissioned to paint them and then they are auctioned. I have completed three of them to date. It is something to see 40 or more together on one large room. Artists are so creative. My approach is pretty traditional. One of my favorites was covered entirely with coffee beans. The artist even covered a base with the burlap coffee sack and the dog is holding a coffee cup/saucer in his mouth! It now resides in a local coffee shop called Zaney's.
Lots of money raised for our local no-kill shelter.

When it comes to hardy spring blooming bulbs, daffodils are among those that I find reliable and nearly full proof. My feeling is you can never have too many! Not only are they resistant to pest and disease problems, once planted these perennial bulbs offer years of blooms and demand little in return. The Southern Living Collection includes Narcissus xodorus 'Campernelle' with fragrant golden yellow trumpets that appear in February to early March. I combine my daffodils with hellebores. The hellebores help to camouflage the awkward stage daffodils go through after they finish blooming and the foliage ripens, turning yellow and then brown.
Another spring flowering bulb I grow is the heirloom called snowflake, Leucojum aestivum. This adaptable bulb will grow in a good bit of shade and will even tolerate damp soil. Masses of white bells marked with green dots hang from clumps of rich green foliage. A robust grower it reaches 10-12inches tall and blooms for weeks, beginning in early spring. I use it in my woodland garden with ferns, hellebores and other spring blooming bulbs.
For bright color later in spring, I grow the hardy red amaryllis, Hippeastrum x johnsonii. In April and May beautiful red trumpets marked with white bloom atop sturdy stems 6 -8 inches high. The glossy green strap-like foliage is also attractive. In my garden I have planted this amaryllis in the same area with a purple leaf selection of the common smoke tree, Cotinus coggygria. I also have other reds and orange colored perennials including daylilies, yarrow and verbenas.
Once the weather is warm enough I am thinking of adding the tropical Mandevilla 'Sophia.' With its glossy foliage and luminous red flowers it will fit right in with my other hot colored plants.
Two plants that I grow in containers please me for different reasons. Fragrant plants evoke memories and are bound to elicit comments even from nongardeners.
This is the case with Gardenia 'Jubilation,' perfect for a pot or a low hedge. I have mine near the front door so I can appreciate its perfume whether I'm coming home or headed out. With its shiny evergreen leaves it looks good even (during the rare periods) when it's not blooming.
Another shrub that I grow in a decorative pot is the dwarf selection of pomegranate calledPunica granatum 'Orange Blossom Special.' Growing 2 to 3' high and wide, it is a perfect choice for a container garden and a great way to bring the color orange into your landscape. During the growing season it seems as if it's always in bloom. This past fall I added orange violas around the base of this pomegranate to create a color echo.
Helioptropium amplexicaule 'Azure Skies' is a native perennial that is perfect for hot sunny locations. Plant it as a groundcover, combine it with other heat loving perennials or let it trail over the edge of containers. Since it only grows 12 to 14" tall, it works well as a foil for taller plants.

I have said it before and I will say it again, professional athletes can be the ultimate source of motivation. As you watch Roger Federer whisk his opponent off the court with an effortless stroke of the wrist, Bolt breeze the 100Ms with seemingly twice as much effort to give and Messi run circles around defenders like their cones all you see is talent. However, what you don't see is the repetition of practise these guys have all done in a volume most of us could never comprehend. Yes, being born with genius within helps – however it is the consistency at which these guys do all the right things which takes them to the top.
Of course, London is home to possibly the most prestigious sporting event in the world – the Olympic Games. As I was repetitively treading rubber on the treadmill this morning there was a programme on the screen all about the athletes, their preparation and their journeys. We talk about 12 week transformations yet these guys commit to a 4 year goal which doesn't event include the rest of their life leading up to this point!!
If you're lacking on focus and motivation, follow me.
Goal Orientated
Becoming goal orientated is the secret because it acts as the fundamental driving force when everything else seems to stop motivating you. Just like the amazing athletes who are competing at the 2012 Games you need to pick your goal. For them it is to win and that's it, Gold is all they think about. Are you going to go for gold? Just imagine the mental strength it takes to commit to a goal with that timescale attached – create the same desire for your own goal and this will drive your mental focus through the ceiling!!
Are your goals realistic? This isn't to say that you shouldn't shoot for the stars because if you miss you will still land feet first on the Moon! Just make sure you are not setting yourself up for a bigger reality check, for example aiming to be Mr Olympia in 2 years when you are 19 years old. I once heard a fantastic quote from somebody I really look up to and respect, Nick Mitchell – ''do you DESERVE unrealistic results?'' Think about it, do you?
Look around and study anybody in the world who is successful at what they do. What do they possess? Commitment in abundance and you can bet if this was a commodity they would buy more. Commitment is the true secret, once your goal is set all you have to do is stay true to that and take the correct steps towards your goal, day by day.
By analysing the success of these elite athletes at the Olympic Games in London it is very interesting to see that they all possess similar mental strengths, if you can transfer these to yourself you are on the winning straight!
Need help achieving your goal?
Our gurus are on hand to help you every step of the way

Fern Crescent Residency
Artist Robi Smith at Fern Residence
Location: 23740 Fern Crescent, Maple Ridge (below the Maple Ridge Lapidary Club)
Robi Smith is a mixed media and installation artist working with environmental themes and materials. Her art reflects her passion for coastal ecosystems and her interest in our changing relationships with nature over time. Maple Ridge welcomed Robi Smith to the Artist in Residence Program at the Fern Crescent location (Silver Valley and Alouette River area) in October 2014 for a three year term.
Smith's interest during her residency is to engage with the local community to explore the connections between the people and history of Maple Ridge to the natural environment, and vice versa. Join her in her studio for free art making workshops, nature walks, and lantern-based installations. You'll also find her sharing her work at local events in Maple Ridge including Earth Day, the Art Studio Tour, summer farmers' markets, and more.
Follow her blog or contact her by Email Robi Smith.
Residency Projects 2018:
For this culminating year of her residency, Robi will be working with community groups and interested individuals to create illuminated sculptural installations to add to the growing collection of community-made lanterns that make up the River of Light installation. All the lanterns and illuminated creations will be hung from trees and arranged along the paths in Cross' Cabins Park (at Davidson's Pool) in September as part of a large community celebration of our connection with local river systems. This celebration, co-hosted with Artist-in-Residence Kat Wahamaa, will include music, spoken word, performance and visual art.
Residency Projects 2017:
In spring 2017, Robi and fellow Artist-in-Residence Kat Wahamaa contributed to the City of Maple Ridge's Canada 150 projects, including:
- Working with students at three local elementary schools to design new artwork for street banners
- Engaging community members in creating a nature mandala in Kanaka Creek Park as part of Culture Walk: Exploring our Nature
Residency Projects 2016:
In 2016, Robi and Kat started a Meet-Up group for locals to join their popular free drop-in workshops. Robi's workshops included outdoor nature sketching, mixed media collage and lantern-making. In summer and early fall 2016, Robi hosted lantern-making workshops outdoors at the studio. More than 70 community members created lanterns over three months. Reflecting the theme of `A River of Light's'; they installed the lanterns in Cross Cabins Park over the Rivers Day and Culture Days weekends in late September. About 200 neighbors and friends enjoyed the magical evening installations
Throughout the year Robi offered free mixed media collage workshops exploring and celebrating places within Maple Ridge. The workshops followed the theme of 'This Place' and combined sharing stories, memories, journaling, map-making, collage and painting. These fun workshops were designed for everyone, with no art experience necessary.
Residency Projects 2015:
In summer and fall 2015, Robi worked with community members to create a lantern installation on the theme of 'The River' in Cross' Cabins Park. Over the period of three months, the public was invited to open studio times to help Smith create lanterns in the shapes of local wildlife. The lanterns were installed and lighted in the wooded area hugging the Alouette River in Cross' Cabins Park over the Culture Days weekend, September 25-27, 2015.

< Whitecliffe Educated: The Student Experience | Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design Investment Provides Exciting Opportunities >
Anya Baranova, Jessica Jay, Bridie McCree and Georgia Rahui are Year 4 students whose proposals were accepted to the 2018 Youth Fashion Summit (YFS) to be held from 13-15 May in Copenhagen. YFS is "a platform for students passionate about a sustainable world with fashion as leverage and gives the opportunity to influence the decisions made today that impact the world of tomorrow – it is the voice of the next generation." 100 students out of 300 total applicants were selected from universities all over the world to be part of the event.
Project Assistant for YFS Julie Kielland comments, "This year all applications represented a very high level of expertise within the whole value chain, so unfortunately we had to turn many qualified applicants down, since we only have space for 100 participants in the programme. In the selection process, we have had a set of criteria in order to make a fair selection, which is to bring in a variety of institutions, programmes, countries, nationalities and to have a wide range of expertise within the fashion industries to meet the purpose of YFS."
YFS and the United Nations Global Compact have joined together to form a partnership "which sets out to challenge the 100 most talented students in the fashion industry to create a framework for the industry on how to reach two of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely SDG 3 (to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and SDG 5 (to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls)."
This is the second time Whitecliffe students have been invited to the event. BFA and Master of Fine Arts - Fashion Sustainability graduates Sofija Butler, Benjamin Farry, and Courtney Harper attended the 2016 edition of YFS. Whitecliffe HoD Fashion Design Belinda Watt also facilitated a working sustainability focus group for participating students during the summit.
Sofija Butler spoke of her experience at the 2016 YFS event and its effect on her sustainable design practice coming back to New Zealand:
"I was really grateful for the experience of traveling to Copenhagen for the Youth Fashion Summit in 2016. It was fascinating as a follow-on from our Prime Minister's Scholarship for Asia trip to India to interact and discuss what sustainability means to the students from different cultures. At Whitecliffe, we were coming from a large focus on natural materials and dyes in terms of working towards a biodegradable end of life for the garment (Cradle to Cradle). I approach sustainability as a design challenge, designing garments that presented aesthetically but were produced sustainably. This was contrasted when talking to the European students who often had a focus on recyclable synthetic materials, with a goal of working towards a future where materials can be infinitely recycled - circularity.
Coming from the opposite side of the world, we are in some senses quite removed from their trends of thinking. We look to them for academic resources, but I found that the distance meant that in my focus group, I was able to provide a more objective view. For example, I wasn't hoping to be employed by a large fashion house or fast fashion company and I felt less obligated to sweep my cynicisms of their actions (and inactions) aside.
I came back to New Zealand filled with positivity about our little industry, where we start small businesses with big ideas and then export them to the world. Since my return from that trip I have been noticing the world take notice of us in our smaller sustainable designer brands and recognising that we have a unique perspective- our No. 8 wire approach to future problem solving, as well as the strong relationship building with our local suppliers."
Whitecliffe wishes the students all the best for their travels!

I'm too stressed out to make a normal blog post, so have some internet stuff.
I wish more people realized that how you compose an email says a lot about you and can either get you want you want or get you exactly the opposite.
This is hysterical. I love when you see their little feet sneak in on the side to try and save their friend from the madness they've created.
I found a playlist on YouTube of all the MST3K shorts and I can't stop laughing. My dad bought a bunch of MST3K on DVD back when I was a kid and my favorite part of them was whenever they did a "short," which was usually some sort of after school special or a short little informative thing on how something is made. Favorites include "Why Study Industrial Arts," "The Chicken of Tomorrow," "A Date with Your Family," and "Cheating."
I pretty much love all these eyeshadows.

Deep-Well Injection
A newish CRS report titles Human-Induced Earthquakes from Deep-Well Injection briefly discusses the Army Chemical Corps decision to dispose of its wastes through deep-well injection. The CRS report describes the process, that lead to
an M 4.8 earthquake that struck northeast Denver, on August 9, 1967 was generally accepted as the largest recorded human-induced earthquake in the United States. The M 4.8 earthquake was part of a series of earthquakes that began within several months of the 1961 start of deep-well injection of hazardous chemicals produced at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal defense plant. The earthquakes continued after injection ceased in February 1966.21 The disposal well was drilled through the flat-lying sedimentary rocks into the underlying older crystalline rocks more than 12,000 feet deep, and injection rates varied from 2 million gallons per month to as much as 5.5 million gallons per month.
For additional background, see the original report on deep-well injection (posted below) and of course, that historical treasure, The Blue Book.
The Devil's Bargain
I recently came across this short film titled The Devil's Bargain created by students whose school is in proximity to RMA:
Lots of RMA History & Documents
History, lots of history…

- Corrective Action Management Unit, Sierra Club comments to CDPHE, [1996]: The Arsenal was one of the first federal facilities to reinvent cleanup via the CAMU. It is my understanding the original intent of the CAMU was to provide a framework for the development and use of alternative and innovative technologies by allowing flexibility in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Land Disposal Rule (LDRs). But at one time, the use of CAMU subverted the LDRs rule by allowing untreated dioxin laden waste landfilled without treatment. This capricious misapplication of the rule is contrary to the law, and was not the intent of Congress, the EPA and the Colorado Hazardous Waste Commission which promulgated LDRs. EPA changed requirements in 2002 [see 3.3 of this EPA doc].

RMA & Shell Oil
Perhaps the most controversial party to RMA cleanup, on April 30, 1952, Shell Oil purchased Julius Hyman & Company, which manufactured "high-potency insecticides." Hyman officially became integrated into Shell on January 1, 1955 [see Kendall Beaton's Enterprise in Oil: A History of Shell in the United States, Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1957].

Here's my quote as per the rep I left you...
[A]ccording to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal?
NOt sure what this is pointing to
Can you tell me where you found a link to the following:
Very cool. Congrats to you and your daughter. And Patrick too. lol.
Fabulous as ever, thanks. Patrick just adopted my oldest. Hearing was yesterday.
So, its been so long since we've chatted, send me a letter sometime. Let me know how you're doing. How's married life treating you thus far?
Awesome. Thanks.
Alrighty then. You fixed 'er good. Thanks.

As the camera moves ever closer, the light delicately balanced in the left of the frame, the porous density of a skull becomes interchangeable with the pock-marked surface of a distant terrestial planet, or perhaps it is a star, or the moon? The beauty of Patricio Guzmán's new film Nostalgia de la Luz, 2010, is in the gentle weave of the infinite and unfathomable world of extra-terrestial galaxies and the equally unfathomable search without end for the bodies and souls of the Chileans who were disappeared in the Pinochet regime. The image of the skull that becomes a planet, or perhaps it is a planet transforming into a skull towards the end of Nostalgia de la Luz is the most awesome moment in a film filled with breathtakingly beautiful images and remarkable expressions of the ongoing trauma of the witnesses to Pinochet's violent dictatorship.
The slow turning of human bones into planets is the visual crescendo of a film that demonstrates with all credibility that we belong, hand in hand, with the universe from which we came. Scientists talk about the calcium in our bones, or rather, the bones of the disappeared, as one and the same with the calcium of the planets. We are all traced back to the infinity of the universe that births, houses and, in Guzmán's film, to which we are ultimately returned. It is not only the view of the cosmos above that draws astronomers to Chile's Atacama Desert, but geologists bring their instruments and their eyes her to roam the oldest desert floors for fossils and mummies that tell of life so long ago that we cannot conceive of when. And in Nostalgia de la Luz, both are joined by women who come for the remains of their loved ones, the remains of the heinous crimes of the Pinochet regime. Their bodies have become petrified in the parched desert soil, and they are recognizeable after nearly forty years—one woman finds the foot of her brother, still in the shoe, and she takes it, in tact, for her memory. The remarkable climate and conditions of this unique geographical location bring these unlikely people together to explore the temporal expanse between infinity and the recent historical past. What lies between the two is a trauma that lingers in the Chilean present moment.
And as astronomers, archaeologists and architects of memory meet in Guzmán's film, we begin to see the lyrical connections between the grave story of a young Chilean boy who was murdered by Pinochet and the breadth of a universe which has no beginning and end. The film doesn't simply juxtapose these different people, with different motivations that all converge in the Atacama Desert. The film asks why. One philosophizing astronomer explains that there is no such thing as the present in the universe, and that we are always telling the story of the past, and that past is why the women are digging through the desert soil in search of their relatives. As they look for the traces that will explain and resolve the irresolutions of the past, the astonomers in the observatories above them will continue to look into the future.
|Miguel with his plans
Another man, Miguel, survived the concentration camps and he shows us in detail how he survived, how the past survived and continues to survive in his present. In his memory he held the image of all the prisons in which he was incarcerated and, as soon as he was released, he created maps, plans of every prison that held him so that they are known to every Chilean. Like Miguel's plans, every memory, every experience is given away to the enormity of the world that houses it, leaving a trace for those who might one day look for remnants of this as the past.
Guzmán's images are exquisite, and when they move, they do so with a slow paced, meditative lyricism. He shows the observatories, and in their clean precision, they are alluring, their calibrated perfection almost seductive. The observatories are huge, again, unfathomable, shown in a landscape that is lonely and scattered with life that has been fossilized and forgotten. The human remains in the landscape are unknown, unpredictable where the instruments of observation represent all that is rational. The star dust that a young woman, Valentina, refers to as the essence of us all frequently covers the screen making it luminous, and again, the world behind it, unknowable. And yet, the star dust covers us all, and through it we are given access to the unimaginable trauma suffered and endured by the survivors in Nostalgia de la Luz. In one of the most moving testimonies, Valentina, now working in one of the observatories was the child of disappeared parents. She tells her story and that of how her grandparents who were given the choice between the parents and the child, showed the militia where the parents were hiding so they could keep the child. And they brought her up as their own – she describes herself as a faulty product, as someone for whom something is missing, not quite whole, always broken, because her parents were taken from her at such a young age. Her work is to ensure her own child is not a broken, faulty product.
|Valentina with her child
There is something so finite about the disappeared, about the violence and insanity of the Pinochet regime that can never be understood. In Nostalgia de la Luz the concrete finitude of Pinochet's acts is transformed into the infinite possibility of the sweeping reach of an astrological observatory eye, and yet again, into a film that espouses there is hope in coming together in a common plight for healing and freedom from a past that plagues the Chilean present.

According to Lucknow Municipal Corporation, it has only enough cash to survey six wards as against the existing 110 in the city.
While launching the drones amid much publicity on August 17, LMC had claimed that these would help bring all properties under the house tax net as the drones will determine the exact number of taxable properties within a municipal area.
The project is funded by World Bank and supported by the Union ministry of urban development. While LMC had announced it would complete the survey of all 110 wards in six months, it has now deferred the plan citing cash crunch.
Additional municipal commissioner PK Srivastava said, "We had got around Rs 1.5 crore from the Centre for the pilot survey of a few wards through drones. But to cover the entire city, LMC needs at least Rs 12 crore, which we don't have right now. We will only cover six wards namely Chinhat, Faizabad Road colonies, Yahyaganj, Alambagh, Aminabad and Indiranagar outskirts. We have to defer the plan of assessing the entire city till the time we arrange for Rs 12 crore."
The survey is underway with LMC expecting to cover all six wards by next week. The drones will click pictures of a house, room area and road width in front of the house, among other things. Later, the data and pictures will be combined to make a digital map to record the status of LMC's tax collection exercise.
As of now, LMC is able to collect house tax from about 5 lakh properties in the city. It estimates that more than 1.5 lakh houses are left out from the tax net.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Management and the Richter Park Authority would like ALL of our guests and golfers to enjoy their experience! Improving the Pace of Play at the golf course can maximize this. We respect your time and realize 5 hours is way too long to play 18 holes of golf. Throughout much study we have set a Pace of Play expectation of 4 hours and 20 minutes to play 18 holes, this gives each group 2 hours and 10 minutes to play the front 9 and back 9. This pace is more than enough time for EVERY golfer to complete their round at a satisfactory pace. This will give all golfers the chance to enjoy their experience!
Every group playing will receive a Pace of Play card in their golf cart & a card for each walking group. This will show each group their start time, the time they should be leaving greens 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and their finish time. This sets the expectation for every group playing golf. The Pace of Play cards are set for each group to finish, at worst, in 4-hours and 20-minutes.
At Richter Park we will have Rangers (Player Assistants) on the golf course. These employees will be there to help all golfers, we will spot drives for you if there is a blind shot, and physically help a golfer find an errant shot. Our Rangers will also be out there to keep the Pace of Play moving and implementing the Pace of Pay Policy. If we determine a group is behind, and creating a delay to golfers behind them, we will politely ask the group to pick up the pace. This group will have 2 holes to close the gap from the group in front of them. Groups must keep pace with the group in front of them and not worry about the group behind them. If you do not see the group in front of you, you are probably behind pace! If the group does not close the gap and get back on pace, in 2 holes, they will immediately be asked to pick up their golf balls and move directly behind the group in front of them. If the groups moves up but continues to fall behind we will be forced to either let groups play through or explain to the group they will need to stop their round and come back for an afternoon time or play at a much better pace. If this takes place the group will be given a full rain check.
(Click this Picture to go to USGA.org for Pace of Play Tips & Knowledge)
Richter Park Management and the Authority are very thankful of everyone who chooses to play at Richter Park and we want everyone to enjoy their experience! If a group is not following the Pace of Play Policy they are affecting everyone behind them and in effect ruining others experience!
Thank you for choosing Richter Park and please keep a brisk Pace of Play!
