Hotel Review
"A warm welcome greets you at this well appointed townhouse hotel in the heart of Brighton's Kemptown. Completely redecorated and remodelled in 2011 by its new owners, the hotel's 12 rooms vary from perfect-for-one to large sized suites, all with their own quirky individual style. The Snowstorm room is particularly fun with its array of snow globes, and the Legacia Suite boasts stylish Art Deco furniture. A welcome tray with homemade biscuits is a nice touch and the beds are large and comfortable. The bathrooms, whilst a little small, are practical and well stocked with toiletries. Downstairs, the hotel dining room is intimate with an extensive cocktail menu, and in the morning a chef cooked breakfast of local produce is the perfect antidote after a night out sampling the best of Brighton's nightlife."

We all lament the commercialization of the holidays, the genuineness of giving and charity replaced with marketing ploys and aggressive shoppers elbowing cohorts for the next Tickle Me Elmo. As retailers, we stand at a unique crossroads. Do we invest our marketing in Black Friday, the single biggest shopping day of the year, or do we adhere to those traditional tenets of good will and family, of gratitude and simplicity? For decades, the solution has been solely to vest in the former: employ those consumer's cries of "buy, buy, buy!" to our advantage and compete with other retailers to reel in customers on the big day. But last year, an unlikely liberator set us all, especially us in the outdoor retail sphere, free with a simple hashtag: #OptOutside.
It's a campaign that hails from one of the most seemingly esurient retailers in our field, the giant REI. Last year REI's leaders sent a letter to their 5.5 million members with a shocking revelation: on Black Friday, they would pay their 12,000 employees not to work. Instead, they encouraged their employees, members and customers to do what they love most: be outside. They used the alliterative hashtag "#OptOutside" to inspire their community to reconnect with family and friends over the holiday weekend while simultaneously investing in nature.
It's an inherently precarious ploy. It appeals to the nostalgia of its community—"remember the days before Friday was so black?"—but it also eliminates one of the most profitable days of the entire year from it's itinerary. But in a symbolic representation of the goodness that still lies at the heart of we commercialized Americans, it worked. Not only did REI inspire folks to get outside, on Black Friday and every other day, they also helped those who felt alone on Black Friday to reinvest in a new kind of community. A community that values the good ol' outdoors over cloying consumerism—but still needs gear, and a place to buy it.
This year, the little hashtag that could is bigger and better than ever. REI has recruited over 365 organizations and 1 million people to stand beside them in their intentional rebuttal of the rapaciousness of a 21st century Black Friday. Slogans like "trails over sales" have encouraged a huge portion of the outdoor community to get outside and work off some of that pumpkin pie.
""#OptOutside has provided the outdoor community and our nonprofit partners an incredible platform to share the transformative power of the outdoors," says Jerry Stritzke, REI CEO and president. "The response it's received in its second year is a powerful reminder of how this idea connects with people at an individual and emotional level."
Nonprofits, including state parks in Colorado, Delaware, Kansas and Minnesota, are hosting events or opening for free to encourage a healthier binge on Black Friday. The Massachusetts Audubon Society and Michigan's Huron-Clinton Metromarks will host birding events, while the National Interscholastic Cycling Association encourages their 600 teams to go for a ride. It's a heartening movement that captures the true spirit of the season.
#OptOutside is also a unique inspiration for retailers. Although we always encourage the development of profits, at the Mann Group we preach—above all else—the importance of relationships with your customers. And what better way to exemplify how much you value that relationship than to literally and figuratively say, "Get outta here, and go have fun."
So whether you choose to #OptOutside or come up with a slogan of your own, reconsider how you do business this Black Friday. It's the relationship with the customer, not the specific sale, that will last.

A BATTLE of Britain ace has taken to the skies for his final time aged 99 - in a refurbished SPITFIRE.
Archie McInnes is one of only six surviving RAF pilots who helped fight off Hitler's Luftwaffe in World War II.
The war hero took to the skies above Kent last week in a refurbished Spitfire - accompanied by a Hurricaine fighter like the one he flew in the War.
Archie, who lives near Cambridge, beamed with joy when the plane zoomed past.
The flight was organised by pal Jonny Cracknell with the help of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hanger's Peter Monk.
Jonny said: "There are only eight Battle of Britain airmen left, and out of them, Archie is the most active.
"I managed to get him back up in a Spitfire, and it was amazing.
"It was an unbelievable and surreal experience to see Archie back in a Spitfire again.
"And the smile on his face when he spotted the Hurricane was priceless."
"Archie is incredible. Sadly, it's definitely going to be one of the last flights of the Battle of Britain."
Archie joined the RAF in 1938, and flew Hurricanes as part of 601 Squadron in Exeter, before moving to 238 Squadron at Chilbolton.
He was released from the RAF in 1946 after losing his arm after being shot down in North Africa.
The flight was organised ahead of the 78th anniversary of Battle of Britain Day, on September 15.

Fucking Young!—a fashion and lifestyle publication that documents youth culture in the current moment—invited Standard Black to contribute editorial to a special issue that presented reinterpretations of the concept of family. The issue challenged outdated notions of happiness, love, and connection.
View Project
Much like the ongoing evolution of Standard Black's creative collaboration with Y-3, the iconic Adidas Y-3 Runner 4D phases into an integral new stage with its second iteration, the Runner 4D II. For the launch of this limited-edition design, we developed a campaign that highlights the most dynamic features of the runner, contrasting its signature lacing, elegant bone white tones, and intricate 3-D printed midsole with a rich and deep background and dramatic, assertive motion.
We like the way Smith & Cult thinks. They're a leading edge beauty brand with a disruptive perspective on an industry that loves to repeat itself.
Irving Farm New York opened its first café in 1996 on Irving Place in Gramercy Park. To highlight the brand's loyalty to its home city, the iconic brewing and roasting company invited Standard Black to reimagine its visual identity through creative direction, branding, and packaging that celebrates the brand's native New York roots.
Tapped by Temple Basketball for a second season of creative direction, visuals, and branding, Standard Black created a 2018 campaign that builds on the "Greatness Doesn't Quit" platform by showcasing the team's players in action.
After helping CVS deliver a promise to eliminate retouched images from their marketing, our partnership with their beauty division was at the forefront of a growing conversation on diversity and the honest portrayal of women in advertising. This inspired a new 360 campaign to relaunch their beauty business completely through the lens of real life.
Y-3's new capsule collection finds inspiration in basketball player James Harden and features the highly-anticipated first non-high top Adidas Boost You Wear sneaker. As longtime Y-3 collaborators, Standard Black drew on its extensive experience in the realms of fashion and athletic creative direction to craft a unique identity for the project.
Kluft handmade mattresses have long been associated with American-made quality and luxury, known as the mattress of choice for Hollywood icons. Standard Black complemented this legacy by using our visual and cultural acumen to create a new sensibility that speaks to the 21st century luxury consumer.
Expanding an ongoing creative collaboration Willy Chavarria, Standard Black produced the designer's most innovative and politically charged presentation to date. Marking a co-branded partnership with Danish sportswear brand Hummel, the boldly graphic collection redefined the boundaries of menswear by offering sponsorship support to New York City soccer players with immigrant status.
For the past few years, Standard Black has partnered with Physicians Formula for an elevated rebrand and campaign that explores the healthier side of the growing masstige beauty market.
Seeking to leverage the strong reputation of its workout routines, Barry's Bootcamp devised a new initiative to inspire members to push themselves beyond their comfort zone. Tapped for creative direction, casting, production, and video content, Standard Black drew from our experience working with top athletic teams and performance brands to craft a campaign that motivated Barry's members with assertive images and storytelling.
Recognizing Standard Black's strength in building brand identities at the nexus of fashion and athletics, Amazon invited us to create strategies for the launch of a new label the online retailer would be offering exclusively through its site. With the launch of Core 10, Amazon sought to carve out a niche in the worlds of women's performance apparel, adding to the retailer's growing list of private label brands.
Medium—a pioneering online sharing platform for social journalism—asked Standard Black to devise a creative solution for content management and promotion, reflecting our emphasis on cultural innovation through strategic storytelling devices.
In 2017, Temple Football was coming off two 10-win seasons and witnessing many players move on to the professional ranks. Standard Black wanted to highlight Temple Football's new identity as up-and-coming, one-to-watch winners via a campaign that utilizes our skill at showcasing exactly what makes a great brand stand out from the pack.
Returning to collaborate with Amazon after launching the online retailer's private label athleticwear, Standard Black crafted an identity for its new women's and men's sunglasses initiative. Obsidian is defined by its craftsmanship and "updated classic" silhouettes, so Standard Black created branding and imagery that highlights this refined sensibility.
When Sephora was ready to launch PLAY!, their monthly sample subscription program, they wanted to create deeper connections with their customers, and sought out Standard Black's expertise in creative digital content to develop a dynamic new platform.
Having previously collaborated with Y-3, Standard Black built on an ongoing relationship with the brand by developing a 360° seasonal advertising campaign that interrogates divisions of status and power in society, delving into contemporary culture's fascination with surveillance and authority.
How do you successfully launch a new program of men's performance basics on a web-based delivery model? When Standard Black developed the Mack Weldon brand from scratch, we drew on our ability to align big ideas with actionable objectives.
Award-winning jewelry designer Candice Pool Neistat created her new brand Billy! in 2016. Standard Black
drew on its expertise in revealing the true character of a brand to tap into the label's core identity, defining
Billy!'s playful persona through memorable imagery and evocative design.
Aireloom mattresses have been handmade in Southern California for over 75 years. But the brand had lost touch with how to tell their story of west coast laidback luxury – something they helped invent. With this differentiation to other mattress brands, combined with our own love of CA design, the natural world and handcraftsmanship, we rebranded and positioned Aireloom to export California comfort to the world.
Recognizing Standard Black's extensive experience with sports and fashion branding, Nike sought our vision to develop the visual identity of a bold new take on the classic football cleat, helping to showcase the brand's stance at the forefront of on-the-field technology.
Phlur is an innovative fragrance brand, leader in the direct-to-consumer fragrance market. They create stunning fragrances, designed with leading perfumers and a nod to sustainable practices for online-only sales. Standard Black were engaged to translate Phlur's identity into impactful packaging and provide a memorable customer experience. Standard Black created bottle deco treatments for the full product offering, secondary packaging, sampler packs and an all-encompassing shipping experience.
Standard Black has fostered an ongoing creative partnership with Todd Snyder, a New York–based menswear designer known for his distinctive tailoring and timeless sensibility. For Snyder's collaboration with the iconic athletic apparel brand Champion, we utilized our innovative approach to menswear branding to evolve the partnership's images and storytelling over several iterations. By capitalizing on and uniting the legacy of both brands, we were able to create an authentic, hybridized vision.
Created for young, passionate sports fans who love the look of vintage T-shirts, Tailgate is an all-American sports apparel brand founded by New York menswear designer Todd Snyder, the brand's creative director. As long-standing creative partners with Snyder, Standard Black was invited to art direct and produce the brand's inaugural photo shoot.
Founded in Ohio and based in New York, TACKMA quickly made a mark with its witty and assertive take on classic streetwear. A younger label in search of branding and storytelling strategies that would connect with and broaden its consumer base, TACKMA saw how Standard Black's extensive experience with sports and streetwear branding could help rebuild its identity. With a holistic approach that considered all aspects of the brand, Standard Black developed a tactic that mirrored TACKMA's vision, while evolving it for a larger market.

Most of the expired film from 2002 I had sitting in the freezer the last eight years didn't make it, though, contrary to what the Internet will tell you, a few rolls of 2008-vintage Kodak Portra were just fine. Plenty of film is available from eBay, Amazon or B&H in 10-packs, and it's now easy to get large, clean scans from any number of labs. This is good news, making the horror of stepper-motor home scanners defunct. When its' magic Fuji machine isn't down,… which is actually about half the time,… my lab delivers 3600 x 2400 px, 18MB JPEG files from 35mm C-41 film on old-school CDs. Capture One and an upload to your favorite pro lab or Costco's unbeatably-priced print lab gets you beautiful 18X12 or larger prints in no time. It must be admitted that all this is a little slower than chimping your screen, and considerably more expensive, but it can be done.
What about the black box behind the lens, Mr. Retro photographer? Mixed news on this front. On the one hand in the '90's, before exiting the camera business warring manufacturers made really good stuff. Konica Hexar AFs, Contax T2's and T3's, and Ricoh GR1s, are plentiful on eBay. A number of Japanese sellers get you these beauties through Japan International Post in days, These cameras were expensive when new, and apart from a few obvious users with scrapes and dents which you can get at a discount, lots are available for sale. And the lenses on each of these are good.
Thanks, Hipsters!
The bad news is they aren't cheap, thanks I guess to hipster millennial's who think that film is cool. (it is) Granted, I may have acted as a market maker of sorts in the past year, but if you expect a $200 bargain that was a long time ago, when people like me were dumping these very cameras 10 years ago. Those dumped Contax T2's and Contax T3's are now near or in four-figure dollar territory. A good Konica Hexar AF, possibly the best traditional focal length snapper ever made, runs $500 and up. Still, if you go the expensive old premium compact route there is everything to like about those unobtrusive little bricks. All the controls are right there under your fingertips. It takes about half a roll of film before you know how they work. At least on the Contax T2 the viewfinder is bigger than you'd expect. Of course, you can tell yourself if you spend the stupid money they fetch now, you will likely make some on re-sale in a year or two.
This will not happen if the camera becomes a paperweight while you're on the clock. Because understand that no one today will fix most of these film cameras when they die. So when the error message pops up on the old LCD screen of your Contax T, you may as well comfort yourself with the fact that the $1,200 Fuji X-whatever of three years ago is now $400 on eBay. My advice: best not to dwell on the "what if" and just take some photos. And there are very cheap analog cameras taking awesome images. (see Ren Hang and his Minolta X-700 images)
Old Flash Be Rockin' It
OK, so you have film and a box to put it in. It must be said that photography is a bit more challenging when your camera's built to shoot 100 ISO. These cameras have a top shutter speed of 1/250 to 1/500. This is doubly bad for me because believe me reader, you understand how to use flash much better than I ever have done. Thankfully, by the '90's all that TTL, Flashmatic, and auto stuff had been pretty much figured out and the little flash units you ignore on your digital become very useful. Daylight or nighttime, you can get that washed-out '70's punk CBGB's club look anywhere you like.
I'm generally too lazy to focus manually, and if you're honest, so are you. It's lucky then that these geezer cameras have very effective AF. Passive contrast and active infrared systems in combination ruled back in the day. A Konica Hexar AF nails it each and every time. Speed is about on par with last generation DSLR's, faster certainly than the earlier generation mirrorless in daytime. These cameras focus considerably faster in low light than pretty much anything until very recently. At night, with your 100 ISO film and a 7GN camera flash, sharp photos practically knock on your door. This came as quite a pleasant surprise. And you can do party tricks like second curtain sync or dragging your shutter. Who remembers that stuff?
Ektar and Portra – Very Wide Dynamic Ranges
Even so, why bother? Because Kodak Ektar 100 looks awesome scanned, that's why. It's like E-6 with a little grain and a lot of color. If you want a little less Ektarness, Portra 160 is there for you. Put one of each in your pocket and an extra in your camera and take some pictures. The prints will look good, trust me. And there you have it, your 2017 guide to full-frame heaven on a semi-budget. ~ Written by Andrew Kochanowski

Some time ago I began this joke (mostly with myself) about all these things I want to happen, or things I want to do before I'm thirty-two. As a kid you always think that by the time you turn twenty you'll be married and have a few kids… until you turn 16 and you realize that you really HOPE you're not married and have a few kids by the time you're twenty. Nonetheless, thirty-two is just an arbitrary number that I got from nowhere. Thirty was too cliche, and 35 was too odd, and 32 just seemed like a good, even number (by the way, I had this even number fetish way before Meredith…promise). So, the list isn't complete, because I imagine in the next 10 years I'll probably think of a few things to add (and check off!), but here are a few immediate life goals. If I don't make goals with checkpoints I usually won't do it. And if I write it on my blog, that means that the world can hold me accountable. So come November 4th, in 2019 you all better be checking up on me. My official 32 before I'm 32 list. Enjoy.
1. live closer to my sister
2. National Board Certification
3. take pictures at a wedding
4. have a fully functioning photography business "on the side"
5. be debt free (with the exception of a mortgage, but this includes student loan debt)
6. purchase a full frame DSLR + a myriad of lenses (fisheye, wide angle, macro zoom, the list goes on and on and on)
7. figure out what I want to do my Master's degree in
8. go back to Costa Rica and visit Geovanny, Zulay, Ana Victoria & Isac
9. see the "Friends" apartment in New York
10. visit California
11. make concrete plans to visit Egypt/Israel before I'm 45
12. own a house
13. have a brightly colored front door
14. visit the FuHsing school in Taiwan, either to teach or just to say hey!
15. learn how to run, and sign up for a 5k (Real Simple says it's never too late!)
16. teach elementary school English as a Second Language… at least one year
17. teach in a foreign country
18. be working on a Master's, or even have finished it
19. visit the Grand Canyon (I guess I'll swing this when I swing #10)
20. learn how to make jam/jelly/preserves/etc.
21. master the sewing machine, and make some clothes for myself
22. live in the same zip code as Robert M. Chaney
23. upgrade to an iMac
24. learn how to edit in Photoshop, without crying in frustration
Some time in the future I'll have to update and let you know how it's going. If you have any suggestions for other things I ought to do before I'm 32, let me know! I'm open to ideas 🙂
Happy Saturday!

So, how many of you still keep score at the old ballgame ?
It's something i've done since my childhood days going back to the early 80s, watching the likes of Sax, Guerrero, Orel and of course Fernando…
So this past Wednesday night against the Tigers was my first game of the year.
With the game going extras, these cards are a good example of keeping score in a National League park when a game goes extras, particularly in the 9 spot of the order and often too, in other spots of the lineup. Amazing how the pitchers spot can alter a lineup and many strategies late in the game. As a fan , it also keeps me thinking as well as to what the managers next move will be.
The Tigers had a big night offensively, highlighted by Nick Castellanos' first big league home run of his career of Dodger starter Josh Beckett. Castellanos, who grew up a Marlins fan in South Florida, once idolized the former Marlin in his childhood. ( You couldn't wait another day for your first MLB dinger kid ? LOL )
The Dodgers, down 3 in the home 9th, would rally to tie the game thanks to a solo shot by AGon, whos homered now in 3 straight, and a clutch 2 out RBI by Dee Gordon, who's off to a fast start this year.
Unfortunately, Victor Martinez , who the previous night had a clutch 2 out RBI of Jansen, got the best of him again lauching a solo shot to the RF Pavillion giving the Tigers a 7-6 lead that they would not relinquish, as these two teams , expected by many to meet come October, would split the two game set both in extras.
So those are Dre's scorecard notes. For any other scorekeepers out there, do you have any scorecards you like to share. I always enjoy looking at others and comparing our styles.

There have been some interesting pieces about the value of a college degree lately. The first is from Peter Thiel, the hedge fund investor behind the financing of Facebook. The second is from Dana Goldstein.
Thiel argues that we are in the midst of a 'higher-education bubble' and that kids today aren't getting their money's worth. Goldstein shows how the debt can be a real problem especially for kids who don't finish school:
Half of all college drop-outs have borrowed some money for tuition. And consider this depressing statistic: One in five students who drop out of college leave only after accumulating $20,000 or more in debt. These are the folks most unable to pay back their loans; the rhetoric of "college for all" simply does not match the reality of their lives.
I disagree with Thiel's conclusion about a 'bubble' in higher-ed, but that doesn't mean he's all wrong. Obviously a lot of Americans aren't getting their money's worth from college, especially if they don't finish their degrees but do take on a lot of debt. So what's the solution to this growing problem? After all, schools are more expensive than ever. Between 2007 and 1982 college tuition went up 439 percent while median family income rose by only 147 percent. No wonder students are taking on more and more debt. Many of them can't afford to go any other way.
I think there are two problems that are leading to rising costs in higher-ed.
First, we as a society are not coming together to support institutions of higher learning. State governments across the country have been slashing aid to public universities even as a college education becomes more and more important in the modern job market. An almost dogmatic resistance to raising taxes to pay for important services like public education forces tuition higher and higher.
Second, we need to acknowledge that academic college really isn't for everyone. I think one obstacle to this has been the rise in for-profit colleges. These are often far more expensive than community colleges. They provide students with often useless diplomas while saddling them with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. But they are at least ostensibly filling a much-needed gap in our education system.
Instead of these for-profit diploma mills, we should focus on making vocational training a more integral part of our high schools and community colleges. This could help push more of the right students into jobs and careers they are better suited for, and help avoid at least some of the dropout issues we're seeing today. Finland is one country that places heavy emphasis on vocational training, going well beyond a shop class or two.
Either way, the answer to rising college costs and dropout and debt rates is not to cut from education further or turn people off to college altogether. The answer is a refocusing of our priorities. Yes, education costs money. But that money should not fall squarely on the heads of middle class kids who are forced to take out tens of thousands in debt just to attend school.
Sure, there are lots of other problems with college. In many ways, it really has become a four-year-party for a lot of students. Maybe those students should take some time before they go to school. Maybe it should be harder to get into school in the first place. Maybe more kids need to attend community or vocational schools. But we shouldn't close the doors on a college education based on rising costs. Costs say very little about merit, after all.

Ludacris 1.21 Gigawatts review
It seems that whenever a rapper crosses into the mainstream and further into hollywood that he or she loses their connection to their listeners. Its happened to many and it eventually happened to Ludacris. It seemed that despite dropping 2 successful albums recently and becoming a commodity in Hollywood that Ludacris was looked upon as a mainstream pop rapper that collabs with Justin Beiber and Enrique Iglesias It also doesn't help that his last album The Battle of the sexes was an album geared to the women demographic and while it seemed that it earned Luda past gold status. It seemed that the emcee that dropped tracks such as Get Back, Stomp, Rollout, and Move Bitch was long gone.
Even his peers thought Luda caught so much of the acting bug that his hunger was lost and started to take shots at him(Drake and latest sensation Big Sean). But then out of nowhere Ludacris released this mixtape titled 1.21 Gigawatts which is his best material in years and caused up a fire storm of controversy. Mainly with the releasing tracks History Lesson and Bada Boom firing back at Drake and Big Sean respectfully like a OG making youngsters respect his elders. Ludacris not only refutes claims of Drake and Big Sean's credit for starting the Supa Dupa Flow with History Lesson by schooling them on how far the style go back but he gives them a warning shot as well as a lyrical spanking on Bada Boom.
Ludacris seemingly to have a shitlist of rappers to go through and the next to get blasted was Field Mob(Mainly Smoke) on the Meek Mill featured Say it to My Face. Meek Mill shows on this track that he has potential to break out as the next big star in hip hop within a year and the right push but its Ludacris that shines on this hard-hitting track. The barbs Ludacris threw on this tracks were hard-hitting, vicious and at times below the belt(All your records are my theme songs/Why? Because Im still shopping off your ringtone). Luda isn't pulling no punches and havent went this hard in years.
The rest of the material on this mixtape surprisingly measures up to the hype. One of my favorite tracks on 1.21 Gigawatts is Can You Buy That which samples the hilarious dialogue from the Mack and mainly talks about what he can buy with his paper. I mean sure the subject manner is played to death but Luda made this track interesting with his killer flow and his hilarious punchlines.
The Guest appearances aside from Meek Mill on here are kept to a minimum and they actually bring the mixtape down a little bit. Im not a big fan of Gucci or Waka Flocka so I could have done without Flexin and Shake Fries. Rick Ross made a decent cameo on Do Something Strange but he gets outshined badly by Ludacris as he clowns on Goldiggers thats trying to use him for his money. The tape slows down momentum towards the end with two very nice cuts produced by Rookie of the Year Big K.R.I.T. K.R.I.T gives On Fire and What U Smoking that classic laid back southern swang that was popular in the late 90s.
1.21 should serve as a reminder to the Rap Game that Ludacris isn't going anywhere and that anybody thats gonna take shots at him should expect a respond. This mixtape may go down as one of the best to have come out this year. Lets hope Luda can continue the momentum and bring that same type of hunger for his up and coming album.

Lyn Blumenthal has been recognized as a leading and innovative experimental feminist media artist and teacher. Her multi-disciplinary body of work included videos, sculpture, drawings and critical essays. She forged new directions and objectives for the field of independent video—not only creating important video pieces, but also envisioning alternative video as a critical voice within the culture, capable of exposing the numerous foibles and blind spots of mainstream media. Committed to the application of feminist theory to video practice, Blumenthal's early '80s art tapes investigate issues of women's identity and sexuality as a crisis of representation. Her tapes weave together stunning visuals and theoretical analysis, most with an incisive humor that tears away the veil from cultural institutions such as television and the family. Blumenthal was co-director of the Video Data Bank with Kate Horsfield from its founding in 1976 until her death in 1988.
Kate Horsfield received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1976 and in the same year co-founded the Video Data Bank with the late Lyn Blumenthal. Horsfield was Executive Director of the Video Data Bank from 1988 to 2006. Horsfield and Blumenthal began their research in contemporary art in video by producing over 200 video interviews with contemporary artists, photographers and critics, including artists such as Lee Krasner, Romare Bearden, Alice Neel, Joseph Beuys, Buckminster Fuller, and Vito Acconci. This group of interviews has become one of the largest and most valuable primary collections of resource material on contemporary artists in the country. Horsfield has also produced serveral thematic anthologies of video and collaborated with Nereyda Garcia-Ferraz on Ana Medieta: Fuego de Tierra. From 1980 to 1999, she taught courses at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Texas, Austin. After her retirement from Video Data Bank in 2006, Horsfield has split her time between New York, NY and Austin, TX.

1. Introduction to Research Ethics
Ethical problems involve conflicts of interest. In research ethics such conflicts are usually between, on the one hand, the scientific interest in generating new knowledge, and, on the other hand, different personal and social interests that are affected by the research process or its results. This course gives an overview of ethical conflicts that researchers need to be aware of and be prepared to handle in their work. It introduces some conceptual and theoretical tools from philosophical ethics, for example regarding the valuation of consequences of actions, regarding rights and duties, and ethical comportment. It also gives a short overview of relevant rules and regulations.
Completion of this module is a prerequisite for the remaining modules.
Next course start: 4 February 2019.
Apply for the course by sending an email to email@example.com, with your name, your personal number, your department and research discipline.
The seminar
After a short presentation of the course, the meeting will start with introductory lectures by Staffan Carlshamre (Dept. of Philosophy) and Cyril Holm (Dept. of Law), after which there will be time for group work (and coffee) and a final plenary session with discussions based on input from the group work.
For preparation you should start out with the readings, but most importantly you should take some time to reflect on your own research project from a research ethical point of view, asking questions like:
- What different interests or "stakeholders" are relevant for your research, and are there any possible conflicts between them? (Resnik pp. 86-90.)
- Does your project need ethical "vetting" (etikprövning), and what do you take to be the most sensitive issues?
Such questions will form the basis for the group work, and will also be relevant for the home assignment.
The home assignment will be published on the day of the seminar and have a deadline one week later.
David B. Resnik: The Ethics of Science: An Introduction (Routledge). (Except chapters 5 and 8). The book is available as an electronic resource from the university library. This book will be relevant for later parts of the course as well.

-Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kun Do
This week has been all about the basics...so much so that you may be getting a little tired of it. Those with ring experience can tell you, there is nothing nearly as valuable as a strong basic stance when you're under severe pressure. Good footwork isn't about shuffling or even angling necessarily. It's about efficiency and stability: Can you be mobile without unnecessary motion? Can you absorb and return at a moment's notice?

Browsing Hydrology and Water Resources in Arizona and the Southwest, Volume 02 (1972) by Subjects
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Subsidence Damage in Southern ArizonaLand is subsiding over a heavily mined aquifer in south central Arizona. Subsidence damages are inventoried to help provide a basis upon which cost studies can be performed to determine actions to lessen the economic impact of these damages. Water table drawdown produces increasing loading stress by three ways: changes in bouyant support of aquifer grains, changes in water table, or both. Two types of subsidence are recognized--one-directional compression, and near surface phenomenon. Damages due to natural structures, and to man-made structures are reviewed. Agricultural damages include field releveling, ditch repair and well damage. Damages to transportational facilities include highways, bridges, pipelines, and railroads. Damages to domestic and urban structures are suggested. Questionnaires, interviews and on-site inspections were used to collect information on land subsidence damages in the study area.

Yesterday brought harsh winds off the Cascade Mountains, that are still howling – and as well the first freeze of the season. Which leaves one knowing fall is nearly gone, and the cold dark months await. But it also means the bugs go away for awhile 😉
Oh wait, this is before the leaves fell yesterday! This afternoon I got to spend it picking up what felt like thousands of pine cones and branches. And I am sure there will be more tomorrow 😛 Gardening…good for a workout. The boys had no desire to go outside. They claimed it was "cold" 😉
Having said all that, I worked hard this past week to get more work done, before the ground freezes for winter. These are two of my new bigger beds – made with masonry blocks, which sell for around $1.o9 at our local Home Depot. They are very heavy, but are affordable, last and work well. PS: They do settle into place, once soil is added. In the picture above, you can see the new beds on the far right. We were originally going to put beds on the fence that runs to the right, but decided instead this would be where our greenhouse will go. The land is flat as can be, and wide, but also it gets less sun there, meaning that raised beds wouldn't do as well.
The next bed I am working on is over in an underused spot, which gets full sun in summer. It isn't quite done yet – it will need more grading, the spot goes downhill. The area sits on a very shallow area of soil, this is where the builders threw many of the rocks, which my rock "garden" corner to the left, out of the picture, it will become a garden spot as well next spring!
I've been asked why I chose these bricks over cinder block style. It came down to cost (they run a little more), but also as the cinder style is wider and takes up more space. I have a few beds still to be developed that I will be using cinder blocks on – where tightly spacing isn't a huge issue.
Unable to pass up a great sale at Seattle Seed Company a few weeks back, I got a vast array of organic and non-GMO seeds for next year.
They were clearancing the 2014 seeds at 50% off. Yes, there maybe some reduction in seed life, but it isn't huge the first year, if they are stored right. This week I am going to do a pictorial on how I store seed packets, so that they are viable for years! PS: I was figuring these might be tiny packets, with a few seeds, as the prices were already lower than many organic seed places, but no, they are well filled bags. If you live in the PNW, consider checking them out.
And I have to share this – it says it well on why I choose to do suburban homesteading 🙂

Sony PlayStation had a strong 2015
Sony PlayStation helped to prop up the parent company Sony with strong sales throughout 2015, mostly from games
PlayStation continues to be one of the highest earning segments of the overall Sony brand, with strong games sales in late 2015 helping the company to turn a profit.
However the slowdown in the premium smartphone market continues to have an effect - not only in terms of their own handsets but also the tech they supply to other companies. Sony is one of the leading suppliers of high end camera sensors to clients like Apple and there is an expected downturn in sales for all brands of smartphones in 2016. That means less sensors are required, with Sony looking at a fall in profits for the current quarter.
The smartphone market has become saturated and 2016 is set to be a busy year for even the biggest in the field. Sony no longer has that market share but some smart cost cutting on global marketing has helped them to break even, while the PlayStation segment continues to thrive, giving them more flexibility than brands which are solely dedicated to smartphones.

What effect does planetary ball mill grinding on material properties?
When researching a material, it is necessary to grind it to a certain particle size, and materials of different sizes will show different characteristics. As the most popular powder grinding equipment, planetary ball mill can grind materials to different sizes, but what effect does ball mill grinding have on material properties?
When the planetary ball mill grinding materials, the materials are subjected to mechanical-chemical-mechanical repetitive action. In addition to changes in physical properties such as increased plasticity and surface area, the chemical properties and sintering properties will also be changed.
After a long time grinding of quartz by planetary ball mill, analyzed that the quartz particles will change with the grinding time;
the montmorillonite grinding will destroy its crystal structure, leading to the precipitation of aluminum and magnesium ions;
After the oxide material is ground, its activity will increase to different extents;
after the ceramic powder is ground, the reactivity is improved and the sintering becomes easier;
when the materials such as carbonate and magnesium carbonate are ground, the decomposition temperature of the material will also be significantly lower.
It can be seen from the above that the planetary ball mill grinding has an important influence on the physical and chemical properties and structure of the material.

Basics of Dog Breed : Finnish Hound
Posted on November 22 2018
The Finnish Hound is a medium-sized hunting dog, with a tricolor dress, a body that is longer than it is high, strongly built but not heavy.
Race history
The Finnish Hound began to be developed after the founding of the Finnish Kennel Club in 1889 . It descends from crosses between local dogs and various European common dogs. A first standard was drawn up in 1932. That of the FCI (International Cynological Federation) in force was published on July 17, 1997. The breed of the Finnish Hound was definitively recognized by the FCI on August 8, 1954. Outside from his home country, Finland, the Finnish Common Dog remains quite uncommon.
Physical characteristics
Its hair: medium length, straight, well lying, tight, rough texture. The coat is associated with a short undercoat, tight and softer.
Its color: tricolor, consisting of a black coat, intense fire color marks on the head, lower parts of the body, shoulders and thighs, as well as white marks on the head, neck, chest , on the lower part of the limbs and at the end of the tail.
Its head: rather long. The skull is of regular width and has a domed top. The stop is light, but clearly drawn. The truffle is well developed and black in color.
Its ears :flat, drooping, the anterior edge against the head and the posterior edge directed outwards. Attached at the level of the line connecting the truffle and the eyes.
Its eyes are dark brown, with a calm look.
Its body: strong but not heavy construction. The neck is of medium length, muscular and well drawn, the back of average length and straight, the rump well developed and long.
Its tail: moderately curved, tied down, it is thick at its base and goes thin towards its end. Recorded in action.
Behavior with others
The Finnish Dog is a dog with a calm , friendly and never aggressive temperament . This does not prevent him from being animated with remarkable energy, especially when it comes to indulging in his favorite activity that is hunting.
The Finnish Hound requires time and patience for his education, because obedience is not his strong point . Nevertheless, once the links between him and his master well established, he likes to learn and please him.
Living conditions
The current Finnish dog is especially good for living in the middle or near nature : country house, near a wooded area, etc. He will prefer a rural way of life to an urban setting, but in either case, it must be sufficiently walked around and stimulated on a daily basis.
The Finnish Hound is a hardy and rustic dog . There is no predisposition to a particular disease in this breed.
Maintenance and hygiene
The Finnish Regular Dog requires only minimal maintenance , consisting mainly of brushing and careful examination of the dress , eyes, ears and pads to detect and remove any debris.
It is recommended to brush the dog 1-2 times a week to remove dead hair and maintain cleanliness and appearance.

Donald Rumsfeld Death Threat?
Evil Pundit has drawn my attention to this piece on Sydney Indymedia, apparently inciting Donald Rumsfeld's murder.
Sydney Indymedia continues to impress...
A modest proposal for the permanent retirement of a well known war criminal and mass murderer.It should be noted that Rumsfeld is currently in Australia. It should also be noted that Indymedia is home to serious crackpots, some of whom take themselves very seriously.
Donald Rumsfeld's retirement is long overdue. In order to expedite it I want to pledge 2$ here to be paid ( anonymously if desired ) to the nearest correct guess at the exact time and date of Donald Rumsfelds PERMANENT retirement from politics.
Retirement with extreme prejudice I mean.
Sydney Indymedia continues to impress...

Luckily though, 80% of what's on Indy Media isn't true, so this is probably just a joke.Post a Comment
