This is my Quilt-O card (think bingo for quilters) for a Devine Guild program later this year. Members have the option of turning in their unfinished card after the program, with a plan to stitch all of them together for a charity quilt or keeping them. I made a mug rug. This small project is perfect to try a new technique. After a Devine Guild presentation on Piping Hot Binding, I purchased the book (Susan K. Cleveland) and cording. I definitely need more practice. The book recommends different feet; you have to find the one that works best for you and your machine. I have several small quilts in progress that will serve well as practice pieces.
Month: January 2015
Countdown to Quilt Camp
While I've been absent from my blog for a while, I have been busy preparing for Quilt Camp. February is a UFO (Unfinished Object) weekend. This is the time of year to pull out all those projects started but yet unfinished. Maybe not every project but enough to keep me busy for three days and nights of sewing. These are some of the projects that will go with me.
Updates will be posted from camp.
Carolina Pine Quilters Are Scrap Busting
Carolina Pine Quilters
What an overabundance of southern hospitality the 60 members of Carolina Pine Quilters showed me tonight. It was a packed house for my trunk show of String Quilts. Thank you so much for inviting me to share how I'm taming my scraps. The class scheduled for tomorrow is a sell out, so much so that they have had to move it to a larger location.
As I looked through the audience tonight, it was nice to see two frayed knots in attendance, Carol and new grandma to twin boys, Sally.
We have a scrapping full day ahead of us tomorrow.
Quilt Turning
Today is a good day for a quilt turning. It's still too cold to be outside and with no appointments or service technicians scheduled, I decided to play with my quilts. The truth is, I wanted an "I Spy" quilt I made to be handy to play with Remi. These are all the ones I removed before reaching the one I was looking for.
There are 81 quilts still on the bed. I failed to count the ones stacked on the sofa. How many quilts does it take to fill a space 39X70? I'll send a fat quarter to the person who gets closest to the actual number. Voting ends 5 PM EST Sunday, January 11, 2015.
Mosaic Quilt
This Mosaic Quilt pattern is a design that caught my eye as a potential for future Quilts of Valor. You can get it for free at http://www.studioe.fabrics.com. I wanted to make a sample block to see if the pattern was simple/intermediate or difficult to assemble.
My stash has a lot of odds and ends of oriental fabrics. This is what I used to make one block. It did go together easily. I'll finish the other three blocks and assemble the top at Quilt Camp and donate this to our guild charity program. This is a good way to use up some stash which is one of my 2015 goals.

Do you know how cold -5 degrees is? Its friggin' freezing. I'm talkin "Flippin-cry-your-eyes-out-but-don't-really-because-they'll-probably-freeze" Cold.
Did you know that? cause it is. It is the coldest. oh boy…its only gonna get colder.
My nose hairs LITERALLY froze inside my nose today. that is just unacceptable. i need a cocktail that tastes like spring. Maybe i'll add just a lil' darkness. (I mean, i don't want to be totally disrespectful…)
This Blackberry Syrup is a keeper.
1. c. Sugar
1. c. water
1/2 pint blackberries
Bring all the ingredients to a boil and cook until berries soften to a "mushable" texture. Turn off heat and let the syrup cool in the pot. take a fork and mash berries into small little bits. or you can pulse the mixture a few times in a blender. which i did. worked like a gem.
it is soooo pretty, and deep, and rich, and sweet, and a little tart.
Virgin spritzers, cocktails, pancakes, this stuff means business.
I invented a drink: "the Mrs. Dalloway"
4 ice cubes
wedge lemon
wedge lime
dash of raspberry liquor (Chambord)
1/2 oz. Vodka
sparkling water
sugar (for rim)
1/2 oz Blackberry Syrup
With a clean glass, dip the rim in a little saucer of vodka, then a saucer of sugar. Add ice. squeeze lemon and lime over ice, muddle the wedges to the bottom. pour in blackberry syrup and vodka. Stir. add raspberry liquor. top with sparkling water. stir to combine.
Drink and feel Wonderfully melancholic.
p.s. this has a most beautiful color. would make a GREAT party drink!

During my second week in Egypt, i discovered that there was what is termed as New Cairo. Its a lovely new city literally looking like a picture from a glossy real estate magazine like HABITAT. Cairo is the capital and is one of the largest cities in the world and it is the largest in Africa. Cairo is known as being a very densely populated city as well as being the center of Egypt's culture and politics. Of course an adventurous spirit like myself would want to see every nook and crack of the city. Cairo metropolis extends away from the Nile in all directions, the city of Cairo resides only on the east bank of the river and two islands within it on a total area of 453 square kilometers. It was a very ambitious plan but i did manage to see a lot of sites including visiting one of the biggest malls i have ever seen.
I met a lot of people who took pictures with me and i thoroughly enjoyed visiting some of the restaurants and i might have to add that Egyptian food tends to be very spicy. If you plan to enjoy Egyptian cuisine, your stomach should be quite prepared for spicy foods especially if you are not used to it. I also learnt that sunscreen and shades are a must in Egypt.
The sky scrappers in Cairo are dirty and old and look like they survived a war. The state of the housing is abysmal, no footpaths just dirt, squalor everywhere and piles of rubbish everywhere. The one thing i will advise about Egypt is that never ever use any public toilet of any sort or manner. Im still receiving counselling for post traumatic stress disorder after visiting one public toilet and was pressed.
I had been warned about people spitting. I assumed that had to with the strong coffee that Egyptians offered us. At every small cafe, its common to find men sitting smoking using shisha water-pipes which is the most common form of tobacco consumption. There are no designated smoking areas as Egyptians smoke everywhere.
Egyptians have similar ethics or culture. Most of them are way different from people in the western and or other African countries i had visited before. Some of the people are way less open-minded, some don't believe much in personal boundaries and they are not very tolerant. I discovered that Egyptians like to make fun of others a lot and they dont like it when it happens to them. However, you will meet among Egyptians some of the kindest and most generous people you will ever see in your life. Our tour guide told us that at every turn and corner,we will be hustled to buy all sorts of fake Egyptian trinkets and we need to make sure, we are firm with our response with a NO. That is what exactly happened in Beheira, Minya and Cairo. Vendors are persistent in selling their products once they spot you as a tourist and you have to be firm in your response.
There are plenty of shops in Cairo and plenty of sites that are of historical significance. As a visitor, its best you plan ahead before visiting the country and a tour guide is encouraged. Pre arrange tours are essential as not to confuse your trip. Be conscious of the fact that there are distances involved in visiting historical sites. Planning is crucial. As indicated in my first blog about Egypt, Cairo is congested and there are no traffic laws and no zebra crossings for pedestrians.
Id also suggest that you keep a bottle of water with you at all times. Dehydration can be a spoiler in such dry weather. You will also discover that there is a huge city called New Cairo on the eastern side of the town.
The eastern part of Cairo, near the international airport, is cleaner, more touristy and cosmopolitan, compared to the western part where many of the pyramids and monuments are. New Cairo is a new city that was created to ease congestion i presume. I later discovered that New Cairo is a notorious example of a dream that most Egyptians cannot afford. Top down planning might be the main culprit here.
There are plans to develop what will now be called the New New Cairo.
New New Cairo is a massive 30 Billion pounds project and the scale of the plans certainly defy historical norms. If completed, the currently nameless city would span 700 sq km (a space almost as big as Singapore), house a park double the size of New York's Central Park, and a theme park four times as big as Disneyland – all to be completed within five to seven years. Source:https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/mar/16/new-cairo-egypt-plans-capital-city-desert. According to the brochure of the project , there will be exactly 21 residential districts, 25 "dedicated districts", 663 hospitals and clinics, 1,250 mosques and churches,and 1.1m homes housing at least five million residents. This is motivated by the fact that the population of Cairo is expected to double in the next 20 years.
We were cautioned and told to keep our belongings guarded at all times. Fortunately enough,noone in our group noone was mugged or lost any valuable. The place has many sites to see including the Museum which unfortunately we did not get to visit. We visited a tourist sort of spot that allowed for the tour guide to tell us more about the River Nile. You can easily notice that all human settlements are spread next to the River Nile. Farming is intense next to the Nile. We traveled a long stretch of road along the Western desert and saw the construction of new cities near the desert. We saw marvelous projects of agriculture and initiatives that were seemingly designed to halt the process of desertification. Plant life in Egypt varied and the western desert was mainly sand with limited plant life spread across the dessert.
We visited the Monastery of Saint Pishoy in Wadi El Natrun, Beheira Governorate, Egypt, which is the most famous monastery of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria named after Pishoy. It is the easternmost of the four current monasteries of Wadi el Natrun. I was fascinated by the Copts kissing the priests hand and when we inquired, the response was
the priest handles the holy things on the altar, and especially the Body and Blood of our Lord, therefore His hands are holy. When the faithful kiss his hand they are taking a blessing. Yes, the holy elements are placed into the mouths of the believers, but that does not mean that the priest does not have a special grace, as has already been explained. Id advise anyone visiting Egypt to visit one of the many monasteries and be sure to indulge yourself in the history of the church. Its very rich and informative of some of the beliefs of Egyptians.
Truth is Egypt is a huge historical country and there is just so much to do and see. Apart from its short comings, Egypt
Egypt is a fascinating intense place with various places to visit such as Hurghada, Alexandria, Dahab, Siwa Oasis, Sharm el-Sheikh , Dahshur, Aswan, Cairo , Luxor, Giza Necropolis , Mosque of Ibn Tulun. Definitely one trip is not enough.

NOVA BURN is a stimulant-based thermogenic formula, designed to enhance metabolic activity, and promote positive changes in body composition. With a potent combination of cutting-edge ingredients, standardized for their active compounds, NOVA BURN helps facilitate lipolysis (fat breakdown).*
Add NOVA BURN to your diet and intense training regiment, and enhance the physiological pathways that can help lead you to a distinguishing physique.*
WARNING: NOVA BURN's ultra-concentrated formula takes a hold of you quickly and can have a profound effect on thermogenesis, energy levels, and focus! This product is intended for individuals with the fortitude to handle such a powerful thermogenic, and should only be used by healthy, experienced, high-caliber athletes.*
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant and a powerful psychoactive substance. By antagonizing the effects of adenosine on adenosine receptors, caffeine releases noradrenaline and adrenaline (norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively) in the body. These two powerful catecholamines act as messengers and signal cells to breakdown and release fat.*
Rhodiola is a plant that grows in the arctic and mountainous regions of the world. Researchers have categorized Rhodiola as an "adaptogen" due to its ability to help the body adapt to physical and biological stressors. Rhodiola has also demonstrated to show significant improvements in athletic performance, psychomotor function and mental performance.*
Ursolic acid is a lipophilic pentacyclic triterpenoid found naturally in fruits and herbs (e.g. paulownia tomentosa). Preliminary research shows that ursolic acid increases energy expenditure by increasing brown fat activity. Brown fat expends energy to generate heat (thermogenesis) and to help maintain body temperature.*
Oleuropein is a phenolic compound found in olive leaves and has been shown to have pharmacological effects including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent preliminary research also shows that oleuropein increases brown fat activity and enhances the release of noradrenaline and epinephrine.*
Raspberry ketones are a phenolic compound found in raspberries, which gives them their sweet smell. Initial research suggests that raspberry ketones help alter lipid metabolism by increasing norepinephrine-induced lypolysis in white fat cells.*
The active ingredient in white willow bark is salicin. Research suggests that white willow bark extract may help amplify the thermogenic effects of stimulants.*
Higenamine HCl (a.k.a. norcoclaurine HCl) is a stimulant and the active constituent that can be found in a variety of different plants. Higenamine exerts its stimulant effects through its activity as a beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist.*
Dendrobium is a genus of orchids. There are numerous active ingredients in dendrobium called alkaloids, which exert a stimulant effect and are used to increase energy and performance.*
BioPerine is a standardized extract from black pepper and significantly enhances the bioavailability of various nutrients through increased absorption.*
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
There are 4 key differences, which make NOVA BURN stand out from other thermogenics on the market:
As a dietary supplement, take one serving (1 capsule) in the morning on an empty stomach. Another serving (1 capsule) can be taken 5-6 hours later; once tolerance is established. DO NOT EXCEED MORNING SERVING SIZE OF ONE CAPSULE FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF USE, UNTIL TOLERANCE IS ASSESSED. DO NOT EXCEED 2 CAPSULES IN A 24-HOUR PERIOD. For best results, use for 60 days in combination with diet and training. After 60 days, discontinue use for two weeks before using product again. Drink 10 glasses of water daily for general good health. Read the entire label before use and follow the suggested use as provided.
You can use NOVA BURN continuously for six weeks. After this period, it's recommended to take two weeks off before starting another cycle.
NOVA BURN can be stack with most supplements. However, it's not recommended to take NOVA BURN with any other stimulant- or caffeine-containing substances (e.g., coffee, energy drinks, pre-workout supplements, thermogenics).
It's mandatory that athletes or anyone subject to testing check with their respective governing body before using this product. Read the entire label before use and follow suggested dosing as labeled.
All of the content on this website is only for informational purposes. The information contained here should not be construed as medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, care, diagnosis, or treatment.

The public sector has been slow to embrace the digital revolution. By failing to modernize compliance processes, agencies risk losing the public's trust. Public organizations have higher compliance requirements than most private companies -- specifically around documentation, data management and record-keeping. These processes are all vital for upholding the public's trust in state-funded organizations and activities.
Government leaders acknowledge the importance and difficulty of the challenge. In a Gartner survey, digital transformation ranked as the top business priority of government CIOs, followed closely by compliance concerns.
Compliance is a complex system
Government operates on a grand scale with widely distributed digital assets. From military and police to infrastructure and education, each agency is responsible for a large number of documents, letters, reports and presentations that must comply with specific standards covering brand guidelines, logos and legal terms.
The introduction of new technology creates its own set of compliance challenges. As agencies migrate beyond their legacy platforms to the cloud, they must ensure legal documents, templates and logos are only accessible to employees who require that access. But mistakes can happen when these assets are spread across a diverse ecosystem of servers, drives and inboxes.
It's time for an update
Legacy compliance software is struggling to keep pace with the workforce as public-sector employees migrate tasks to the cloud, mobile devices and other on-the-go technologies. If agencies want to attract and retain top talent, they cannot be dinosaurs when it comes to technology. Yet too often, the existing technology employees use to ensure compliance makes their jobs more difficult. Instead, it should empower them and make compliance the path of least resistance -- working for them, not against them.
Standards such as HIPAA and ISO 9001 have highly specific rules on who can handle information and documentation. And the launch of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union comes with strict regulations protecting the personal information of individuals and their control over their data. With privacy regulations constantly evolving and changing, ensuring secure, controlled access will become increasingly important in order to avoid fines and penalties.
Compliance software should automate processing of routine documents, govern information disclaimers and control access to assets and templates. This great responsibility is often riding on an outdated, legacy system.
A future-proof tool
Public sector employees require a future-proof solution for legacy compliance software issues. It must make cloud transitions simple, streamline the use and administration of templates and digital assets across all government entities and add more value to the way public-sector employees work.
Digital asset management systems make compliance and gated access simple. Modern platforms use a centrally managed document template and content system that allows marketing and branding teams to maintain, update and distribute approved content across branches. There's no need for users to leave the platform to search for content or document templates, maximizing productivity and ensuring full compliance.
Advanced compliance software ensures a connected ecosystem of information that equips staff with the most current versions of document templates, disclaimers and logos. The technology automatically formats documents and emails with the correct fonts, style conventions and legal disclaimers -- taking the guesswork out of compliance.
It can also notify employees across all departments and offices if any assets contain inconsistent fonts, color themes or logos. Document creation is a much simpler process, and automation enables employees to spend their time on higher value tasks rather than searching for or creating compliant assets.
Documentation is core to compliance
Digital transformation adds value to public-sector employee productivity, streamlines compliance burdens and ultimately improves public services, but with high-stakes information and sensitive documents on the line, compliance must be carefully considered during the transition -- and a template management tool can provide a solution. If end users can easily use the most up-to-date compliance documentation and document elements, the public body benefits from greater productivity.

It took us seventeen hours to drive from Los Angeles to Portland Oregon and so today was spent on the bus. Which is no way to experience April Fool's Day. And no way for Guster Drum Tech & Stage Manager Sean Lynde to celebrate his 28th birthday. So when we stopped at the In-N-Out Burger in Redding California, Ryan got himself a Double-Double (animal styles) and a hat for Sean to wear on his special day:
Sean was faithful and didn't remove the hat until we got to Portland and decided to go to a sorta nice restaurant. Sean would also like to point out that the starting wage at In-N-Out burger is $8.25 an hour, which is very competetive with Guster road crew wages when you calculate trips to Reno into the equation. We should also point out that while Sean removed his hat in the nice restaurant, all three band members were still wearing the same nasty t-shirts we had been wearing on stage at the House of Blues the night before.
To cap off Sean's birthday we're going to huddle in the back lounge, throw in our "Dancer In The Dark" DVD, and weep.

In the midst of a global extinction, what should we save?
Conservation science is increasingly guided by sound science. This is positive development, but risks obscuring the values behind it. There are no right answers to questions of what nature should look like, so every conservation decision comes with a value judgement.
Does protection of native wildlife justify killing 'invasive' species such as rats and cats? Is it acceptable to displace forest peoples to protect the ecosystem? Should we block the building of a community centre because of the impact on great-crested newts? What about a hotel?
I'm an ecologist and author, writing fiction and non-fiction about science and the ethical questions it raises, and my current focus is tackling the complex questions raised by environmental ethics. I'll be asking whether conservation should focus on hairworms not honeybees during my talk at New Scientist Live on 13 October 2019.
My first popular science book, Is that Fish in your Tomato?, explores the benefits and the risks of genetically modified foods. Other non-fiction topics I enjoy writing about range from pesticides and bioenergy to flying ants.
I graduated from Durham University, and went on to study butterfly migration. I now work in science communication, and make science jewellery in my spare time.

Holiday Time!
November is the month when the holiday cheer goes into effect. The pumpkins are still festive beyond Halloween, and everyone starts getting ready for what's to come. We have been busy at Emory's on Silver Lake, and we are thankful for everyone who has enjoyed dining with us!
We officially reopened the restaurant Thanksgiving Day 2010 and the last 2 years seem to have flown by. We had yet another successful Thanksgiving Dinner this year. We created a special menu for the occasion, and had a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner which included a starter and a slice of pumpkin pie. The joy of a homemade dinner without all the preparation and cleanup! We chose some favorites from the dinner menu for those venturing away from tradition and didn't want to feel the sleepy effects of the tryptophan! It was great to be able to share the Holiday with so many of our customers and their families.
We did not open for lunch the following day to allow our staff to spend time with their family, especially for those who worked so hard on Thanksgiving! If anyone came in for Happy Hour or dinner on November 23 saw Emory's on Silver Lake: Holiday Edition.
Molly Cole loves the holidays, and loves decorating for them even more. She takes over the restaurant the day after Thanksgiving, and it's like going through a Christmas portal. Everywhere you look you see decorations! Some staff came in early to help out so that we could be ready to open at 2pm for Happy Hour. It was a great team effort, and we love the results, even though Molly says she's not quite done!
Happy Holidays!

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has personally reached out to Egypt's president to secure the release of a Canadian journalist imprisoned in Cairo.
Harper's office won't say exactly when the overture between the prime minister and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi took place.
"The Prime Minister has communicated with the president on this case. I'm not going to get into the specifics of the communication between the PM and the president, including the timing or details of that communication," Harper's spokesman Jason MacDonald wrote in an email on Tuesday.
"As you know we have also raised the case at the highest levels of the Egyptian government through the actions of ministers and officials and we will continue to do so."
Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair has called on Harper to "personally" reach out to his Egyptian counterpart to secure the release of a Canadian journalist imprisoned in Cairo.
Mohamed Fahmy was working for satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera English when he was arrested on Dec. 29, 2013, along with two colleagues.
They were accused of supporting the banned Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group of ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and were charged with fabricating footage to undermine Egypt's national security.
After a trial that was internationally denounced as a sham, Fahmy was sentenced to seven years in prison. Following an appeal in January, a retrial is set to begin on Thursday.
Mulcair says the Canadian government's efforts to win Fahmy's freedom must not be delayed by the "recent shuffle" of foreign ministers, which was prompted by John Baird's resignation. Minister Rob Nicholson was moved to foreign affairs from defence on Monday.
The NDP leader is calling on Harper to intervene in Fahmy's case, "including by personally reaching out to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi."
Fahmy's family has launched an online campaign, urging Harper to get involved in the 40-year-old's case.
They have called on supporters to use the hashtag "HarperCallEgypt" in their efforts to push for Fahmy's release.
A Canadian government official, speaking on condition his name not be used, said Harper's communication did not happen on Tuesday and was not in response to the #harpercallegypt campaign.
The Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom has said it backs the call by Fahmy's family for Harper to intervene.
One of Fahmy's colleagues — Australian Peter Greste — was abruptly freed last Sunday under new legislation that allows Egypt's president to deport foreigners convicted or accused of crimes.
Mulcair said Greste's release followed the intensive efforts of the Australian government.
"The Australian prime minister publicly and personally intervened in Mr. Greste's case with success," Mulcair wrote in his open letter to Harper.
Fahmy moved to Canada with his family in 1991, living in Montreal and Vancouver for years before eventually moving abroad for work, which included covering stories for the New York Times and CNN.
He took over as the bureau chief for Al Jazeera's English-language channel in Cairo in September 2013.

"Contrary to popular belief, a 24-hour working economy does not imply that one works for twenty-four hours per day, or that businesses are necessarily always open, but rather that the normal eight-hour working day can be performed at any time during the twenty-four hour period within any given work situation." (Kenya report on 24-hour economy, 2009)
Recent calls have been made to transform Barbados into a '24-hour society' in which commercial activities occur around the clock. Imagine a young couple discussing the details of a mortgage arrangement with a loan officer at 11 p.m. at a local financial institution or an elderly lady receiving her medication at 2 a.m. from her local pharmacy.
The '24-hour society' is generally seen as a positive economic move for many societies across the globe. From one perspective, time is the most prized resource or asset in this life. By harnessing this most precious and available resource (time), a wide range of benefits for organizations, consumers and the entire country can be enjoyed.
Let's look at these benefits. Firstly, operating around the clock allows businesses to generate more products and services, cut costs due to the use of flexible work arrangements, compete in different time zones, and stay in contact with branch offices or suppliers in different locations all over the world. The 24-hour society promotes economies of scale where the more one produces, the lower the cost of production per unit.
Secondly, outside of increased employment as a positive, employees can benefit from the improved workplace flexibility which may allow them greater autonomy to choose more comfortable working hours, schedules, or special job arrangements including job sharing, flexi-time, and home- and teleworking. For example, flexi-time allows employees to work during times that are most convenient for them.
Thirdly, consumers would be able to access a wider variety of products and services outside of standard hours that are important to their needs such as health care, food, clothing, finance, transportation, etc. Based on multiplier effects, the extra money earned will trickle down to consumers, which in turn will increase demand for goods and services and investment. This, in turn, will lead to the creation of more jobs to cater to the increasing demand.
Fourthly, the decongestion of traffic in certain areas is very likely, as people would be working at different hours of the day. Finally, it has been evidenced that 24-hour societies have enhanced international competitiveness and are most attractive to local and international investors. Overall, a 24-hour society caters diversely to organizational, employee, consumer, and national needs.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned benefits, there are a number of challenges and problems that have been found in 24-hour societies. For example, reports emerging from research in certain European countries suggested that working non-standard hours and longer hours may have adverse effects on workers' health. Shift work and similar flexible arrangements have been shown to alter people's circadian rhythms (body clock that controls sleep/wake cycle) to conflict with their daily schedules.
Hence, the body might operate in sleep mode when it is time for work. Moreover, the subsequent impacts on sleep quality and overall health of workers would increase the risk of injury and accidents at work, absenteeism, and service and product quality failures. These problems, in turn, would lower overall organizational productivity and increase costs to organizations.
Other research has shown that family and marital life in 24-hour societies are adversely affected due to the increased emphasis on work life over family life. For example, a North American study revealed that working unusual hours increased the risk of separation and divorce in families where couples were married less than five years and had children. Finally, the increased crime (e.g. theft and burglary) has been cited as natural feature in 24-hour societies.
In order for a country to take full advantage of the 24-hour society, sound management and policies must be a primary consideration. Firstly, it is critical that parties of the Social Partnership 'flesh out' and assess the key issues surrounding the implementation of this system and its deeper implications for labour, employers, unions and members of wider society. Secondly, legislation is needed to protect not only the interests of business owners but also the needs and interests of workers and consumers operating within such a society.
Government policies and regulations are also needed to adequately guide employers in managing human resources operating under flexible work arrangements or nonstandard contract hours. Workplace health and safety policies and legislation must be placed high on the priority list as a means of safeguarding the work environment and those who operate in it.
Emergency, transportation, and security (and policing) services must be enhanced and applied around the clock. The 24-hour society, if managed properly, will allow us to do more with the available space, human resources and technology that we have.
In Kenya, a national steering committee and task force (made up of private sector and public sector agencies) was formed to strategically plan and implement their 24-hour society. This committee conducted surveys to assess how businesses and consumers felt about the move towards a 24-hour society and associated concerns and suggestions.
The committee was also responsible for identifying incentives for businesses under this system including tax breaks for the production of goods and services outside normal working hours, awards of special licenses for firms willing to work within a 24-hour system, subsidies on energy/power use outside of standard hours (and efforts were made to push these businesses to pursue renewable forms of energy), provision of land sites for 24-hour-based businesses with reduced taxation, and provision of 'around the clock' and reliable transportation.
There were also initiatives to curb crime including 'Crime Reduction Partnerships' where businesses work together with police and security services to track crime and find ways to discourage crime on their premises.
Moscow (Russia), Singapore, Spain and Sydney (Australia) have all benefited from the effective management of the 24-hour society. If Barbados is to realize and enjoy these benefits, a strong collaboration among employers, unions, workers, Government, and civil society is necessary for effective management and implementation.

The other day I was helping a woman try out some shoes when she suddenly exclaimed, "Running is so stressful! It's just too complicated." I was taken aback, since I find running pretty straightforward. However, as she explained why she was stressing out, I could see her point.
Runners are bombarded with conflicting and ever-changing information. It can feel like finding the right shoes, using the right nutrition, wearing the right clothing, and performing the correct preparation and recovery routine has turned their workouts into a joyless slog. This is especially the case if they're trying to systematically improve performance (in distance, fitness, or speed).
It's easy to get obsessed with running's metrics and suck all the fun out of the sport. If you are not a professional runner and running is beginning to feel like a job, it's probably time to take a step back and simplify.
Ideally, running gives us time to be self-reflective, to get in touch with our total selves, and to contemplate our place within the larger world of possibility –– a place that exists outside and apart from the information blender of Facebook, CNN, NPR, FoxNews, and Twitter. It allows us one effective way to unplug and connect with our essential humanity.
Running also reminds us of our capacities. As we push ourselves, we take ourselves to yesterday's limits and then move beyond what we thought we were capable of achieving. The physical and mental effort to accomplish a long run can make our everyday problems seem solvable. This dose of perspective is very valuable in a world in which every issue seems more urgent and difficult than the last. Running reminds us of the strength of our will –– and our ability –– to surmount difficulty and to change.
Finally, running allows the brain to do some background processing to effectively address everyday issues. How many times have you launched into a run with something on your mind that seemed unsolvable, only to have the solution present itself at the end of your run?
If you want to find out more about how your brain works while running, check out Dr. Jeff Brown –– author of The Runner's Brain –– at Fleet Feet Albany on Monday, October 2, at 7:00 PM.
We don't have to get so wrapped up in finding perfect –– the perfect shoe, the perfect workout schedule, the perfect recovery routine –– that we rob ourselves of our love for the sport. Remember the joy when you were a child and ran across the grass as fast as you could? Remember how you felt when you covered that first mile without feeling like your lungs were going to burst? Remember your last good run, feeling anchored in immediate experience –– in the "now"? That is what running can do for us –– but we have to let it.
You can get the most out of running by "letting things go." This means never letting the structure provided by goal setting and training routines get more important than the running itself. When you feel like things are getting too complicated, simplify. Leave the GPS watch at home. Run somewhere new. Do as much or as little as you like. Stop for some ice cream. Take a break along the Hudson or Mohawk to observe the geese or the beautiful fall foliage reflected in the river. Don't worry about numbers. Just run.
Stop and look
Remember, too, that there are people that can help you keep things simple. If you are worried about training, find a coach or a training group and leave the details to them. If you need shoe advice, come see us at Fleet Feet. We love to sort out the complexities of fit and function for you so that you can concentrate on the running. The same goes for gear and nutrition. Let us shoulder some of the complexities, so that you can enjoy the fun stuff.Finally, if running feels too complicated, there is an entire community –– the Greater Capital Region is one of the best running communities in the world –– to help you out. Join a club like the FFRC, ARE, HMRRC, and you can draw on others' experience to help keep you running joyfully.

On Akshaya Trutiya day, people throng jewelry houses
to buy gold,which is considered the ultimate symbol of
wealth and prosperity. Satya Yuga is said to have begun
on this day. Any meaningful work initiated on this day is
expected to yield good returns.In Mahabharata it was on
this day that Pandavas received Akshaya Patram(unending
bowl of food) from Lord Krishna.
Many luminaries were born during this period. Basaveshwara
was born on May 4, Ramanujacharya and Adi Shankaracharya on
May 6, Swami Chinmayananda on May 8 and Lord Buddha on May 16.
It is the birthday of Lord Parashuram, one of the 6th avataras of
Lord Vishnu.Veda Vyasa and Lord Ganapathi began to write Mahabharat
on this day. The meaning of the word Akshaya is infinite that which
never recedes. The Devata for the month is Madhusudana.

This week sees the next phase of an exciting new era for our client – charity Find a Better Way – which will be launching its five year vision to key members of the British Government later this week.
The event is taking place at 11 Downing Street and is a reminder to us here at Firework PR of the breadth of work that the 'Public Relations' industry gets involved in.
We've been delighted to be involved in different areas of the event. Some of the preparation is undoubtedly about media strategy and ensuring key journalists are informed about this new phase of Find a Better Way's future. But fundamentally, it's also about ensuring there is a consistent story and messaging that is taken out to all audiences – tweaked to their preferences and interests of course – but fundamentally communicating the key facts about Find a Better Way's vision for the future – focused on the next five years.
In addition, it's been about ensuring the right influencers are there, that there is an ambassador on behalf of Find a Better to help spread the word about the fundraising that Find a Better Way is spearheading to ensure the research and innovation progresses and delivers to help eradicate the devastating impact that landmines cause when undetected and removed safely.
We've talked before about the definition of 'Public Relations' and what activity is included under this umbrella – last time from The Gherkin in London. We believe it's about influencing audiences – from media, bloggers, industry bodies through to analysts – and here is a good example of operating on behalf of a charity to reach prospective donors directly, at the heart of the British Government.
There will be a mix of excitement and an element of trepidation this week as we undertake the final preparations for the trip to 11 Downing Street and work closely with the inspiring team at Find A Better Way to ensure that all aspects of the event are full accounted for.
It will certainly be an unusual few hours to have no access to public communication channels but rest assured, the team back at the office will be ready to disseminate information as required. So please do watch this space as we report back on the outcome of the evening and share any resulting news.
Andrea Hounsham,
Director of Firework PR

Political Beliefs
Position Papers
Students First
Students are my first priority as a Governing Board Member. Their academic success at Palomar College is paramount to everything we do, and I will highlight some recent accomplishments and my vision for the future.
Recent Accomplishments:
New Education Centers in Rancho Bernardo and Fallbrook opened in June 2018. These new centers will serve students living in the North and South regions of the district. Enrollments are up for the Fall 2018 semester as a result.
The Palomar Promise, which provides tuition and textbooks to new students who take 12 units or more per semester and earn passing grades. Over 1,500 students are benefitting from the Promise Program at Palomar College in Fall 2018.
A Food Pantry that provides nutritious food to Palomar students in need. Palomar College partnered with the North County Food Bank to implement this program.
Vistion for the Future
Developing innovative programs in drone technology, aviation (pilot-training), cloud computing, cybersecurity, health care and other STEM-related career pathways to prepare Palomar students for high-wage careers.
Building Student/Staff Housing to help students and employees overcome the high cost of housing in the region. It is increasingly difficult to recruit new employees to North County San Diego.
Generating new revenue sources for the Palomar Community College District that will make us less dependent on funding from Sacramento. I envision using private-public ventures that will use donated land in Borrego Springs to build a green clean-energy solar farm and generate sustainable revenue. The district can also lease unused land on our Fallbrook campus to businesses that can serve the needs of nearby residences and generate revenue opportunities.
Expanding dual-enrollment programs with our high school districts so students can take Palomar College classes and earn college credit at no cost to them.
Expanding the education programs offered to adults in prison that provide a pathway to education and careers, rather than incarceration.
Community Service
Trustee Evilsizer serves not just the Palomar Community College District, but volunteers his time to non-profit organizations serving the community at large.
I am actively engaged with my community as a volunteer. My service to others has been recognized by the President's Award for Volunteerism (Obama Administration), the Northrop Grumman Volunteer of the Year Award (2011), and the community service award at the Hispanic Engineering National Award Conference (2012). Since 2003 I have served on the board of directors for Encuentros Leadership, a 501(C)3 nonprofit whose mission is "To encourage and support boys of Latino descent to achieve optimal performance in education."
Why Latino males? The research data shows us that Latino males have the highest dropout rates from K-12 schools in San Diego, and are the lowest recipients of college degrees. For every 3 Latinos graduating from college/university in California, 2 of them are females. For every 1 Latino male graduating with a bachelor's degree, 6 Latino males are in prison. The educational pipeline from K-12 to college is failing our Latino male population.
For over 16 years Encuentros Leadership has worked with Latino males, primarily in middle school and high school in San Diego County. We annually host several leadership academies on college campuses where the boys live on campus, and receive lessons in leadership from professionals in the field. Our Leadership Academy is hosted on the campus of the University of San Diego, in conjunction with the School of Leadership and Educational Services (SOLES). Our Engineering Academy is held at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering where leading scholars, researchers and professionals give the students an overview of pursuing engineering in their educational and career paths. Our Teachers Academy is hosted on the campus of California State University San Marcos in conjunction with the School of Education. We provide role models and mentors to students who are exploring education as their educational and career goal.
Our annual Education and Career Exploration conferences are held at various community colleges in San Diego County. These have included Palomar College, Mira Costa College and Cuyamaca College. Young Latino males are treated to a one-day conference to hear from practitioners in a variety of fields about how they overcame hurdles to go onto college and graduate with a college degree. Many local representatives from business, industry, public safety and healthcare organizations share with attendees the goods and services they provide to the community, and what educational levels must be obtained to obtain employment opportunities with them.
A specialized Encuentros curriculum has been developed for Latino boys and is being used at middle schools in the Vista Unified School District. School data shows that boys taking these classes have high school attendance, better grades and fewer disciplinary incidents at their schools.
Another innovative program developed by Encuentros Leadership is called "Platicas." It involves fathers and their sons in a six-week series of courses where they research their family history together and share the findings with their classmates. It develops a special bond between father and son and allows both to commit to ensuring commitment for high school graduation and college attendance. A field trip to a ballgame, outdoor water sports or camping events are also offered to these families.
I take to heart a quote by Muhammad Ali, "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth."

I was recently with a friend that I worked with at another resturant. I asked how the new chef is and she said great but you know what bothers me…. She said you know the burger you created, the birdie. The birdie is a classic burger with cheese, bacon and topped with an over easy egg on a brioche bun. I say "yaaaah?", my friend says well the new chef adds lettuce and tomato. I took a long hard gasp because I felt like the chef wasn't respecting the ingredients. I hate when chefs, cooks, kitchen people, culinary students put unnecessary items into a entree just because….. NOOOOO don't do it. Step away from the plate.
For me cooking is about respecting the ingredients and bringing out the best quality and flavor profiles from each component you add to make a meal. My meals are not covered up or masked with extra fluff to make it seem cool. My meals reflect who I am and with every bite you take you can taste the passion that I put into the food. I learned how to make flavors sing together and to become one harmony. What are the songs that stick in your head? They are the simple tunes like "It's a small world after all" you know the Disney ride or the latest Selena Gomez (not a fan…). Simple is great, Simple is intriguing, Simple can compound more of an adventure than anything that has 15 ingredients. So please hold the lettuce and tomato on the Birdie Burger!!

DOWNTOWN – SYNESTHESIA II at Notting Hill Arts ClubPosted: July 18, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Curating Projects | Tags: curating, DOWNTOWN, film, Fiona Whitty, Jamaican, Jenny Gordon, Notting Hill Arts Club, photography, SYNESTHESIA II, The Four Aces Club, Whitty Gordon Projects, Winstan Whitter | 1 Comment
Announcing DOWNTOWN – the second in the SYNESTHESIA series of visual arts exhibitions with live sounds, moving image and projections, curated by me – Kate Ross.
This exhibition brings together work from artists who explore the urban, particularly as realised by the idea of Downtown – the core of a city and its creative heart. However, the artwork in this show is further unified as it relates to an African and specifically Jamaican Downtown of Kingston. The artists whose work is shown in DOWNTOWN have been influenced by Jamaican music, the presence of Jamaican culture in London and its vibrant history which has been brought over from one urban hub to create another.
This exhibition brings together reproduced images of new collages created by Jenny Gordon, photographs and film stills by WhittyGordon Projects from their work in Downtown Kingston, Jamaica and a collection of material collated by Winstan Whitter including flyers, posters and photographs illustrating the story of The Four Aces Club, Dalston.
Artist Jenny Gordon has created new collages for DOWNTOWN which were inspired by sources including nature and found objects such as photographs. Gordon examines concepts of identity, isolation and alienation. Her practice asks questions about how we inhabit the world both physically and emotionally, by drawing upon her own experiences as a woman of mixed race origin. The resulting negotiations of cultural positioning form the foundation of her enquiry into the dislocations of personal identity and physical belonging. In making these collages, Gordon has enjoyed drawing on her personal memories of visiting the Notting Hill area as a child with her parents and she has also reflected on stories she has been told by them of their experiences of the area during the 1950s when Notting Hill was a hotbed of Jamaican culture.
Whitty Gordon Projects (artists Fiona Whitty & Jenny Gordon) have spent plenty of time exploring the vibrant and bustling urban area that is Downtown Kingston, Jamaica for the past three years. In Kingston, Downtown is the heart of the city where the action happens and creative activity is buzzing on the streets. Downtown is a melting pot of diverse communities – pouring out onto the pavements from dilapidated buildings and all walks of life are seen including carpenters, young artists, street hair dressers, barbers, musicians, nail technicians and street food merchants who artists Whitty and Gordon have met and filmed.
Printed stills taken from short films and photographs by Whitty Gordon Projects are being displayed in the exhibition DOWNTOWN to evoke something of the Jamaican urban hub that artists Fiona and Jenny experienced and are fascinated by. The gap between Downtown and Uptown is large in many terms and both artists have worked hard with local communities to bridge it through collaborative creative projects.
Film maker and Director of Photography Winstan Whitter started out making skateboarding films in the '90s and has since worked on short films, commercials, documentary feature films and music promos for artists including Echo & The Bunny men, Scissor Sisters, Lionel Ritchie and Paul McCartney. In 2008 Whitter shot "Legacy In The Dust: The Four Aces Story'' which tells the story of one of the first Reggae-oriented music venues – 'The Four Aces Club'. For some 33 years it was home to the most influential black music and musicians to date. DOWNTOWN exhibition at Notting Hill Arts Club is proud to display a number of printed reproduction images of Whitter's 'Four Aces Club' screen-prints therefore linking shared histories of London nightclubs and Jamaican music.
The exhibition DOWNTOWN tells the story of DOWNTOWN through the eyes of the artists and curator with their joint enriching blend of Jamaican, British, Irish, Ghanaian and Jewish cultures.
Live on the Night – DOWNTOWN
Continuing with the SYNESTHESIA series theme of creating a multi sensory experience, as well as the visual arts exhibition, DOWNTOWN will also feature film, moving image, projections, live music and DJ sets.
A curated selection of short films will be shown on the night of 8th August by a range of artist film makers who respond to the theme of DOWNTOWN whether this is in the sense of urban subject matter or other connected identities. Whitty Gordon Projects will also screen a film they made after collecting material when undertaking In-Between Spaces, a film project based in Kingston Jamaica in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

OPEN CALL – Short Films & material for projections for DOWNTOWN – SYNESTHESIA II at Notting Hill Arts ClubPosted: June 23, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Curating Projects | Tags: artist, DOWNTOWN, film, Filmmaker, Films, Fiona Whitty, Jenny Gordon, Kate Ross Curator, moving image, Notting Hill Arts Club, Open Call, Projections, SYNESTHESIA II, WhittyGordon Projects | Leave a comment
WhittyGordon Projects (artists Fiona Whitty, Jenny Gordon) and Kate Ross (curator – Notting Hill Arts Club) are inviting submissions of short (under 5 minute) films on the theme of DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN is inspired by the vibrant and bustling urban area of Kingston, Jamaica, where WhittyGordon have been initiating projects for the past three years.
We are looking for films by artist/filmmakers to respond to the theme of DOWNTOWN, which can cover all aspects of inner city life and urban subject matter. We are also looking for images (of artworks, stills from films or specially designed work – not moving images) that will work well as projections for the night at Notting Hill Arts Club to enhance the DOWNTOWN atmosphere.
The films along with other artworks, curated by Kate Ross (Curatorial Curiosities), will be shown at Notting Hill Arts Club on August 8th 2013 as part of a show reel at 8pm. DOWNTOWN is the theme for SYNESTHESIA II – the second in a new visual arts, sound and moving image series for Notting Hill Arts Club curated by Kate Ross. Wall based art works and the films will be accompanied by music from DJs and bands inspired by Jamaican, African urban sounds.
Information on the SYNESTHESIA series can be seen at http://www.nottinghillartsclub.com/exhibition

SYNESTHESIA I at Notting Hill Arts Club – a successful launch to my new visual art & sound seriesPosted: June 11, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Art, Curating Projects, Music & Sound | Tags: arts, contemporary art, curating, Horseless Headmen, music, Nicky Carvell, Notting Hill Arts Club, sound art, SYNESTHESIA I, Victoria Trinder, visual art | 1 Comment
The launch of the new visual arts & sound series I am curating for Notting Hill Arts Club was a real success with a great night of art, sounds and music at the Club enjoyed by over 100 people!
Nicky Carvell's 'Naff Graphic' Decals suit the industrial space of the Club perfectly and you can see them on display until the end of July.
IKTA performed an excellent set with experimental layered sounds including pre recorded elements and live playing on saxophones, percussion and electronic beats. On the wall behind the stage, short films by IKTA members Victoria Trinder, Simon West, Zachary Apo-Tsang and Rosie Stewart fluttered in the background giving the performance area a more visually heightened atmosphere which worked well with the projections of Nicky Carvell's specially designed En Visage logo.
Horseless Headmen then played their set with a range of instruments including the biggest saxophone I've ever seen, flute, bass guitar, guitar and a number of weird and wonderful percussive items including drums from Nick Cash. Finally, Half an Abortion – Pete Cann tested the limits of the Club's sound system with his closing set.
Special thanks to all the artists involved, Neil the sound technician at the Club and Calum and Dom who I work with at the Club on the series.
More photos from the night can be seen on my Facebook page here and for more information about the artists, please see a previous blog post I wrote here.
I'm looking forward to SYNESTHESIA II which will happen in August with new visual artist, film makers, music and more!
SYNESTHESIA I – launching my new visual art & sound series at Notting Hill Arts Club, curated by Kate Ross – Curatorial CuriositiesPosted: May 21, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Art, Curating Projects, Music & Sound | Tags: art, curating, curator, Curatorial Curiosities, exhibition, Horseless Headmen, IKTA Live, Kate Ross, Nicky Carvell, Notting Hill Arts Club, SYNESTHESIA I, Victoria Trinder | 1 Comment
The new visual art and sound series that I am curating for Notting Hill Arts Club launches on the evening of Monday 3rd June with SYNESTHESIA I. I chose the name SYNESTHESIA for the series as it describes an experience that I have always been fascinated with, whether in connection to artist Wassily Kandinsky's 'music-painting' or with regards to contemporary artists creating video art that stimulates simultaneous reactions to sight and sound. I also thought that the name SYNESTHESIA sounded like a club night which would work well for the venue – Notting Hill Arts Club. I think the name also stands out clearly and looks eye catching on the flyer that artist Nicky Carvell has designed for the night.
En Visage – Nicky Carvell
For SYNESTHESIA I Nicky Carvell has produced large-scale 'Naff Graphic' decals, mirroring the huge cut outs of musicians and sports people which still adorn the now stripped out interior of the Visage nightclub in Leisure World.
Sorry luv, you're not dressed right." Dismissed by the bouncer beneath the glare of the jaunty neon sign, Visage Nightclub was my teenage anathema,' writes Carvell. 'Having journeyed to Leisure World with my friends, I was not allowed in again despite the irony that I was the only one dressed in leisure wear, a rejection which embellished the notion of Visage as a glamorous otherworld that I would never experience – it is now due to be demolished.The title "En Visage" signals this sophistication onto a fantasy land that will remain just that. It is this artificial jazzy sign that still fascinates me; the dream overriding the grotty reality.
IKTA LIVE – Victoria Trinder & Collaborators
IKTA presents a session of experimental sound play, featuring Victoria Trinder and special instrumentalist guests. Working with traditional modes of composition in conjunction with and interactive sound objects that introduce an element of the unpredictable.
Victoria Trinder works in collaboration with other creatives operating within a multidisciplinary arena. She highlights and documents exchanges that take place through dialogue and activity, championing the symbiotic relationships that are embedded in our contemporary day-to-day society.
Trinder founded IKTA (I Keep Thinking About) an Internet Radio station that acts as a platform for emerging creative voices regardless of age, gender and cultural backgrounds. IKTA broadcasts experimental sound sessions that occur at headquarters in North London.
Victoria Trinder holds a BA in Fine Art and is currently studying for her MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design. She has exhibited in the UK and internationally, recently being selected for feature at Pnem Sound Arts Festival, Holland. She holds a Post Graduate Teaching Certificate, obtained from Goldsmiths in 2008 and continues to work with adults and young people in and around London where she lives. www.victoriatrinder.com
Any band that can play 'spontaneous soundscapes' influenced by avant-rock, progressive dub, classical, latin and soul with some electro-industrial and psychedelic skronk have got to be great musicians, and that sure applies to GD Painting and Horseless Headmen, whose improvisations may feature 'churning groove, soaring melody, glorious racket and epic abstraction.' Fans of Can, Faust, King Crimson and Song X will like this too. www.facebook.com/HorselessHeads
Half An Abortion is far more considered than the gonzo band name would have you expect: this is carefully-layered, properly physical noise, some of which could be lazily described as 'harsh'. Yet it actually has a very engaging flow, a wry humour and a structure that invites the listener to climb all over it.
I am really excited about the first event in the series and invite you all to come and join in at Notting Hill Arts Club. Please join the Facebook event through this link.
I am Curator for Notting Hill Arts ClubPosted: May 3, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Curating Projects | Tags: art, curating, curator, graphics, London, Notting Hill Arts Club, sound art | 3 Comments
I have some exciting news on my career development in curating… I am now curator for Notting Hill Arts Club which is a specialist pioneering music and arts venue. Here is what Notting Hill Arts Club say about themselves on their website:
Through conceptualising and cultivating niche, underground and genre defining nights, the artsclub has set the musical map of London. Alongside our serious graphic arts based exhibition programme, concept visuals, and extended area-shaping public arts projects, the artsclub is fundamentally explained in its belief that a world created by artists would be a better place.
What and How am I Curating at Notting Hill Arts Club?
I am very excited about this opportunity and I decided to create a new visual art and sound series for Notting Hill Arts Club which I am curating. This new programme reflects my curatorial curiosities, research and practice into new contemporary visual art work by emerging artists, sound art and the idea of the non-gallery space. The series is allowing me the profile artists whose work I think is cutting edge, interesting and different. I will curate exhibitions around every 2 months and the opening/ private views of these shows will have a whole night created around them with sound and performance artists who I have chosen because their work fits together with the style and ethos of the venue as well as complimenting the artwork to be displayed on the walls of the Club. The process of curating in this non-gallery space is interesting and challenging as the Club is in a basement area, so it is not well lit, therefore I am also choosing art work which is vibrant and will stand out well and is appropriate to the club environment. I am also having to consider the fact that the venue is not an art gallery, so people are using the space to socialise, watch live bands and have a good time so the work needs to be secure so damage is minimised and the work is protected yet can still be enjoyed and on view. For this first exhibition, the images are being printed on matt vinyl which is a resistant material that will stick to the well used club walls like a huge sticker.
The Idea of a Multi Purpose Arts Space
The Notting Hill Arts Club is the perfect type of venue which matches my interests and strong belief in the idea that the future for showing art work seems to more and more be the multi purpose space, meaning that a venue which artists and curators can work in, also has another strand of revenue in order to keep it going and secure its future. In the case of Notting Hill Arts Club, that's the live music nights they put on and charge at the door for.
Online Presence and Publicity through Social Media Networks WORKS
I was actually approached by a staff member of the Notting Hill Arts Club team who had been researching artists and curators on the Internet, thanks to this blog where my work was viewed and it appealed to the person who contacted me. I'm a believer in the power of social media and free online publicity for creatives. Its working for me so far! Further to this, I have started a professional Facebook page to keep people updated on my work as a curator and you can join it by clicking here.
In my next post I'll outline the first exhibition and event curated by me for Notting Hill Arts Club which will be happening soon.
Curating SURFACE exhibition at Chelsea Futurespace galleryPosted: March 28, 2013 | Author: Curatorial Curiosities | Filed under: Art, Curating Projects | Tags: Brian Chalkley, Chelsea Futurespace, contemporary art, curating, curator, exhibition, gallery | 1 Comment
SURFACE is the latest exhibition that I have curated, this time with Daisy McMullan who is my colleague at my workplace CHELSEA space . As part of my role this year as Chelsea Arts Club Trust Fellow (which you can read about here), Donald Smith – Director of Exhibitions at CHELSEA space informed my colleague and I that there was a gap in the exhibitions programme at our sister gallery Chelsea Futurespace and that we would have the opportunity of curating an exhibition there.
The Challenges & Limitations
Chelsea Futurespace is not a space which has the sole function of a gallery.
Chelsea Futurespace is an exemplary collaboration between Chelsea College of Art and Design, Futurecity arts consultancy, and the property developer, St James Urban Living, part of the Berkeley group. It provides a showcase exhibiting space for the alumni and staff of Chelsea College of Art and Design set within St James' Grosvenor Waterside development at Chelsea Bridge. http://www.chelseafuturespace.org/about.html
So, there are some challenges involved in putting on an exhibition in such a space which is a foyer to a high end residential development where anything from furniture deliveries to dogs and children being walked traipse through, but these can also be looked on as positive opportunities. As mentioned above, Chelsea Futurespace was created as an exhibiting space to showcase specifically work from alumni and staff of Chelsea College of Art and Design, so as curators there was already a structure within which the artists selected would need to fit.
As Chelsea Futurespace is also a living space with the day to day function of being used as the foyer and reception to the whole residential developement, this means that the gallery is part of the residents' home and many families and children come through the space on a daily basis. So the artwork displayed has to be unobjectionable to viewers and any material that could be seen as explicit or offensive in any way cannot be shown.
A practical point that had to be considered is that for exhibiting, the space consists of 4 two-sided walls, each 10ft square ie 8 walls each 10ft/306cm square. These white walls are moveable, but aesthetically and curatorially, navigation and narrative around the show would need to be succesfully achieved so there are only so many possible combinations for the walls which work well. As the space is used constantly for deliveries, as a shortcut and more, any artwork displayed in the space needs to be securely attached to the walls or safe and not pretruding in the way if not directly fastened to the walls.
The Artwork & Theme
So how did we as curators choose the exhibition theme, title, the artists and artworks? We decided that it would be easiest and most efficient to select a broad theme that would allow for a number of different media or artwork to be included into it. I was keen to avoid an exhibition which would only profile one media of artwork and from the start, as Chelsea Futurespace is bright and open, surrounded by large windows and water, I imagined the show to be colourful and rich in variation, interest and technique. The theme of surface allowed for artwork to be exhibited from painting, textiles, collage, drawing, print and objects, therefore crossing the boundaries between fine art, craft and design. I also felt that this range of artwork reflects the multiple areas of practice which are explored by students (and therefore alumni) of Chelsea College of Art & Design.
Two of the artists I was especially pleased to exhibit work by, were Charlotte Jonerheim, whose work I had admired at the MA Fine Art Chelsea College of Art & Design summer show last year and Brian Chalkley whose work I have written about here. I knew that Charlotte would be able to work successfully in adapting to the limitations of the space as described above and that she would create an installation that was site specific, also using objects from her personal artist's history which is a method used by Charlotte in her practice. I was determined to have Charlotte's work included in the show so that there would be objects in the exhibition and not just artworks fixed the wall. In the end, Charlotte used a shelf she had made and a plinth from CHELSEA space to display her work which was the highlight of the show for me, physically coming out of the wall space, yet the delicate nature of the objects were protected.
The work by Brian Chalkley that we decided to show, were his collages which are made using fashion magazine figures that have then been altered by the artist. I love these images which are striking, playful and also prompt us to think about what we see in magazines that is real and what is invented. This couture collage technique is clever and fun.
It was important to us that the branding for the exhibition was clear and consistent, since we also run CHELSEA space, the invitations, press release, mailout and list of works would stick to the Chelsea Futurespace style. We chose a font that was clear and that we liked the look of and each time the exhibition name SURFACE was written, we used the exhibition title font, so that the reader is not confused between the show title and the use of the word surface. Below you can see how the A5 black and white publication we produced matches the style of the invitation card. We chose one of the artworks from the exhibition by Kangwook Lee for the publication booklet cover as well as on the invitation card as it was decorative, detailed and it worked well with the text style.
Curating the SURFACE exhibition was an enjoyable opportunity, being able to pick and choose artists and work that was to our taste. However, it was also challenging due to working in a multi functioning space with its limitations. The exhibition has been well received and has now been extended until 28th April 2013.

Hancock traveled to face Reedley College Tuesday afternoon, but fell short, losing 48-57.
It appeared the Bulldogs were on their way to a third consecutive victory, leading by 7 points at halftime.
However, in the 3rd quarter, it seemed as though there was a lid on the rim for the Bulldogs. They were only able to net 4 points, while allowing 9 by the Tigers. Despite the run, the Bulldogs still held onto a 2-point lead at the start of the 4th quarter.
It was a back-and-forth battle for most of the quarter, until Reedley went on a run, out-scoring the Bulldogs 9-0 in the closing minutes.
Down 7 with just over a minute to play, the Bulldogs were forced to foul and put them on the line. Reedley was steady in crunch time, hitting timely free-throws to secure the victory with a final score of 48-57.
Sophomore guard Tawny Lino led the way with 18 points for the Bulldogs. Sophomore forward Tashara Pruett had a season-high 12 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.
The Bulldogs are now 2-1 and will face West L.A. College in the Cuesta College Tournament Thursday Nov. 29th. Tip-off is at 2pm.
