The Independent Film Channel started as a showcase for auteurs like Jacques Tati, but its new corporate identity was driven in large part by Tarantino and Tumblr. Marketing executives at IFC commissioned New York design firm Gretel to help rethink their look and feel in an age where Portlandia, the channel's flagship program, draws bigger audiences as an embed in blog posts than on its first run broadcasts.
The new look comes just four years after the channel rebranded and the logo itself remains largely unchanged. Gretel took IFC's existing deco-inspired call letters, tilted them slightly and created the appearance of depth with a 2-D drop shadow. The end result looks like something that could have been uncovered after being locked away in a Hollywood backlot soundstage for decades. "We were taking what was there and amping it up, clarifying it, giving it more depth and heft, making it into an object," says Ryan Moore, Gretel's creative director. "Our goal was to make the mark feel like a logo for a production company or an independent theater space."
Simple as the change seems, Gretel experimented with dozens of drastically different alternatives, but during the research process found that the stakeholders—everyone from executives to on-air personalities—liked the existing logo. It wasn't a broken brand, just one that needed fleshing out. "Everyone had a sense of what the brand meant, but couldn't articulate it," says Moore. "It was our job to tell the team what it meant."
The primary focus was establishing the fonts, colors, and visual elements that would unify, identify, and buffer the programming as well as devising rules to ensure they got applied consistently. The result is an identity system that mashes up retro punk rock exuberance and the modern tendency towards twee. Two fonts drive the visuals; Clan Narrow Ulta, a heavy sans serif and Prestige Elite Bold, a monospace typewriter font make the identity system feel like an upscale homage to Maximum Rock & Roll.
All non-photographic imagery is rendered in black, white, and blue to establish a consistent color palette across a variety of media. "A lot of this content will live on Hulu, YouTube, and Tumblrs," says Moore. "Part of what works with this brand is that there are so few tools, but they're used so
From TV Guide to Tumblr
Some have criticized IFC for rebranding so soon after their last makeover, but they're trying to keep up with a network model that's shifting at an even faster clip. Up until recently "programs" were the product, now software programs are increasingly becoming the delivery mechanisms. This has changed the way executives think about programming.
Gretel looked to IFC's blogs for inspiration. IFC's social media presence is more akin to BuzzFeed than typical corporate boiler plate and they've fully embraced listicles, humorous non sequiturs, and meme culture. Moore's goal was to create a system to give odd gifs a consistent feel.
The design acts as a subtle stage dressing for the on-air talent and turns movies quotes and catchphrases into artfully animated interstitials. "I think the sensibility is taking what the talent is saying and amplifying it with design," says Moore. A system of badges follow the rules of designing a hipster logo to a perfectly kerned T while helping unify a diverse collection of content that includes offbeat original programs and basic cable classics.
The Independent Film Channel Is Dead. Long Live IFC
Perhaps the biggest change in this rebrand is a move away from the "I" and "F" in the channel's name. "It's no longer the Independent Film Channel, its IFC," says Moore. "No one thinks of ABC as the American Broadcast Corporation." Likewise ESPN is no longer the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network and MTV long ago abandoned its focus on music videos to focus more broadly on youth culture.
IFC is now the place where indie podcasters like Mark Maron get TV gigs and the definition of "classic" stretches to encompass Point Break and Kill Bill. Gretel's research made it clear, if Spike is for fratboys, IFC is for fanboys, and like it or not, what started as a haven for fans of French New Wave has become the home of Garfunkel & Oates, though according to Moore, "There are still some people who are very angry IFC isn't running Goddard films."
Brand standards manuals are typically the end result of engagements like these. They'll often span hundreds of pages and lay out in minute detail the ways designers can and cannot use the elements of the identity. IFC's is likely the first such manual that includes guidelines for animated GIFs. Spoiler alert: It also codifies IFC's tagline, "Always on, Slightly Off," and defines "slightly" to mean exactly 120 degrees off the baseline.

Work on Bethany museum progresses
With the inaugural edition of the Seaside Craft Show behind them and considered "an enormous success," members of the Bethany Beach Cultural and Historical Affairs Committee (CHAC) are shifting their focus back to one of the committee's core tasks: the town museum.
While the museum's display cases were installed in the town hall lobby prior to the Memorial Day holiday, as promised, Vice-Mayor and CHAC Chairwoman Carol Olmstead said at the committee's June 14 meeting that many aspects of the museum were not yet exactly how they were going to be when it is finished.
Olmstead noted that Lynch Industries, the museum contractor for the job, had had more difficulty in bringing the cases into town hall than had been expected.
During the process, some of the pre-installed mirrors had been cracked, necessitating their replacement. The number of shelves in the cases is also fewer than had been expected, and no switches were provided to allow museum staff to easily turn interior case lighting on and off.
Also, the museum's existing story panels were not all in finished shape, requiring decorative backers and covers for the wires stabilizing them in their positions. And the planned computer kiosk (to be home to the committee's oral history project) has yet to be put in place.
Finally, one informational display panel was apparently misplaced during the installation process and will have to be located.
All those things will be taken care of, Olmstead assured committee members. She said Lynch Industries workers were expected to return this week and would certainly be back soon to complete the work.
Olmstead said that with the cases installed and panels in place, the committee would shift its focus to placing the museum's existing artifact collection on display.
That work will include selecting specific items to display at the outset (with others to be kept in storage for future rotation), labeling the artifacts with their nature and history, and deciding how best to organize the history panels.
CHAC members will meet informally throughout the summer to work on the museum project, with their first meeting set for Monday, June 20, at 10 a.m. in the museum area in the town hall lobby. Meanwhile, formal CHAC meetings will be suspended for the summer.
Olmstead noted that proceeds from the June 4 craft show were to benefit the general work of the committee, not just the museum. She emphasized that CHAC is the only one of the town committees to have substantial expenses — primarily the cost of cultural events and the upkeep of the museum, as well as other preservation projects.
CHAC and Seaside Craft Show subcommittee member Geri Walsh agreed with Olmstead's assessment of the craft show as a success, saying it was "better even than we had hoped."
One of the projects that may benefit from the craft show may be the committee's efforts at preserving historic houses in the town. Committee member Dan Costello has been spearheading an effort to look into incentives for owners of historical homes who may wish to preserve them.
While investigation of those options continues (dependent on federal funding that has yet to be determined for the coming fiscal year), Costello has also been working with Jane Errett, who is interested in preserving her own historical home in the town.
With Costello, Errett has authored a letter that will be sent to owners of historical homes in the town, encouraging them to join her in seeking preservation for the structures.
Costello said a final list of homes had not yet been created. At least 10 such homes remain in the town, as identified in a survey during the last five years. Costello also said an additional 15 or more homes might be identified as worthy of preservation based on construction times in the 1920s or 1930s and their traditional Bethany Beach bungalow style.
Owners of those homes will likely be receiving Errett's letter in the coming weeks and will be asked to join with her and other concerned home owners in investigation options such as façade preservation (with possible federal tax breaks). Depending on the interest received from the letter, the committee could become further involved in the effort.
CHAC members also said they would consider using some of the proceeds from the craft show to place historical markers in front of some of the town's well-established historical homes, such as the 10 or so that are already part of the informal walking tour of Bethany Beach's historical places. The other homes could be added to that list at a later date.
Just how to define or identify a home as "historical" was one area explored at the June 14 meeting. Costello said the definition was often given as homes 50 years or older, with additional focus on older homes whose facades had not seen substantial changes over the years.
But committee members were reluctant for the committee itself to sit as a board of judgment in determining whether a given structure was "historical" or otherwise worthy of preservation. Costello said he would enlist the help of preservation experts in collecting data about historical homes in the town.
Committee members took the opportunity to express their concern over the fate of the carriage house that was part of the historical Drexler property.
The town's planning commission is set to hear an application for partition of the land upon which that carriage house sits at its upcoming Saturday, June 18, meeting. And committee members were concerned that it might be torn down in favor of newer structures as a result of changes to the property lines.
The committee also noted a recent meeting of historical preservationists in Ocean View, where concerns were expressed about the impact of new construction and traffic on the historical homes and character of the town, including the impact of the planned Route 26 project.
The Ocean View group was expected to meet with a preservation group from the University of Delaware in the coming months, and CHAC members supported a similar meeting with Bethany Beach preservationists. The Ocean View group is also investigating methods for preserving the facades of the nearby town's historical homes, through some of the same programs.

FOLKLORE ON FRIDAY – Twelfth Night
Well dear friends, Christmas is over for another year and most of us now are picking up the threads of our usual routines. Now many complain that Christmas is far too overblown these days and seems to take up more and more time every year, but if one looks back at Christmas customs of years gone by, you find that up until relatively recently our forebears would have been still celebrating. Of course everyone has heard of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but rather than being a kind of stripped down version of advent as is often assumed, this festive dozen didn't come before what we consider to be Christmas, but turned up afterwards.
For the Twelve Days of Christmas actually begin upon Christmas Day and run all the way through until January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany in the traditional church calendar. And while now we only really remember this older version of the Christmas season in the tradition that we must take our decorations down by Twelfth Night (January 5th or 6th depending on if you are counting nights as preceding days or not), in the not-too-distant past this day was marked by celebrations of fun and feasting that rivalled Christmas Day itself. And why was such a fuss made of this last day? Well simply because in the old agricultural calendar, it was back to work on the 7th of January, or rather often the nearest Monday after, and hence Twelfth Night was the culmination of the holiday season. However of course in the 19th century as society became more industrial and urbanised, the tradition began to fade, and with the corporatised working cultures of the 20th century not countenancing giving wage slaves twelve days plus off at Christmas time, the Twelfth Night festivities all but died.
Now as for the best known remaining Twelfth Night tradition that this is the day to take down the Christmas decorations, rather than being some ancient piece of folklore, it would appear to be a more recent invention. Indeed, its part in the Christmas calendar is already in jeopardy, with many folks taking down the decs on New Year's Day, and yet others boxing up the baubles on Boxing Day. However historically speaking in centuries past it was actually traditional to leave the decorations up until 2nd the February, and at some points in history our forebears left their halls decked with boughs of holly until Easter! So rather than Christmas expanding every year, all the signs are that it is in fact shrinking, with our holiday period actually becoming shorter in real terms!
However while these old bumper-sized holidays may seem astounding to us now, and the old Twelve Days of Christmas are now only remembered as a song, there are plenty of remnants of the old tradition remaining in folklore and local customs, with many places having their own individual ways of marking Twelfth Night. As many of these festivities were marked with food and feasting, there is a widespread tradition of making a Twelfth Night cake, often with added surprises. We are all familiar with the traditional sixpence (or modern coin equivalent) being slipped into the Christmas pudding, and the Twelfth Night cake has similar attached customs. As Robert Chambers noted in his Book of Days (1869) –
In England, in later times, a large cake was formed, with a bean inserted, and this was called Twelfth-Cake. The family and friends being assembled, the cake was divided by lot, and who-ever got the piece containing the bean was accepted as king for the day, and called King of the Bean.
However there were variants to this custom too, with other items being adding into the mix. For example, in one version if you found a twig in your portion of cake, that meant you were a fool. Over time, these special additions were replaced with trinkets and charms, silver ones if you were well-off, and in the 18th and 19th centuries Twelfth Night cakes became huge elaborate affairs with towers of icing and mounds of toppings. Many scholars hold that as the Twelfth Night traditions began to die out the tradition of adding lucky items to the cake, was enfolded into the lore of the Christmas pud.
Another common piece of Twelfth Night folklore revolves around the Yule log. Traditionally the Yule log was not some chocolate confection, but a huge piece of wood that was placed in the fireplace on Christmas Day. The log would be kept burning throughout the Twelve Days of Christmas, with often being considered unlucky to let it go out during this time. The log of course was eventually formally extinguished at Twelfth Night, with many regions' lore holding that a portion of it, or sometimes its ashes, was to be kept to light next year's Yule log.
However as we often note in these excursions, folklore is often very local, and hence up and down the British Isles many places have their own individual traditions associated with Twelfth Night. In many areas it is one of the dates in the calendar marked out for some wassailing. Again while this is a tradition we now associate more closely with Christmas, but in older times it was a common feature of Twelfth Night celebrations, most famously perhaps in the counties of England where cider is produced, with the wassail being performed in orchards to wake the trees for spring. In a similar vein, a tradition that also acknowledges the beginning of a new agricultural year and a return to work, are the various customs associated with Plough Monday, which marked the start of the first week after Epiphany.
Plough Monday, which was was celebrated in northern and eastern England, has a host of traditions with several common features. Firstly there is some kind of procession with the plough at the centre, in some cases this is part of a ceremony to bless the plough for the coming year, but in other areas it is more akin to wassailing, with the "Plough Boys" taking the implement from house to house and asking for contributions of food, drink or coin. However much like similar Halloween traditions, should a householder prove to be uncharitable or unwelcoming, the Plough Boys may well plough up their gardens or doorstep! It is perhaps not surprising that the celebrants in many Plough Monday festivities adopt some form of disguise, ranging from the simple blacking or reddening of faces with some rustic make-up, or donning elaborate costumes. However this dressing up, aside from perhaps preserving the anonymity of the mischievous Plough Boys, also crosses over with attendant customs. For many Plough Monday traditions including the performance of mumming plays or a version of morris dancing (often called "molly dancing" in this instance). For more on this fascinating set of traditons, do visit Mr Pete Millington's excellent and comprehensive study found here – http://petemillington.uk/ploughmonday.
Other places in England have even more unique Twelfth Night traditions, with one of the more famous being held in Haxey, Lincolnshire. On the 6th of January, the little village holds what is called the Haxey Hood – a rowdy contest which see the more game villagers join together into a huge scrum – called "the sway" to gain the titular hood – a leather tube – and attempt to transport it to one of four pubs in the village. The origins of this annual game are unknown but we do know it dates back to at least the 14th century, and it is still played with great gusto (and occasional minor injuries) to this very day.
And all of the above are just merely scratching the surface of Twelfth Night lore. For example, we have not even mentioned assorted traditions, mainly from Europe, where Christmas gifts are given on Twelfth Night, and I shall to return in subsequent years to examine some of these traditions in more detail. However I do hope that this introductory article has perhaps reawakened some interest in celebrating Twelfth Night once more. Personally I quite like the old concept of Christmas Day begin not "the big day" but just the beginning of the festivities, and marking the end of what used to be called Christmastide with another big knees-up before having to return to work!

- I may observe 12th night festivities in the future. I have pretensions of returning to a more traditional Dickensian Christmas every year but my traditionalist intentions are obliterated by the avalanche of selection boxes and Noddy Holder. I think it may be a goose for dinner next year, and given the price of them it will probably be a Canadian one that I deliberately mow down in my car.
- Christmas is what you make it. I throughly recommend lashings of whisky, M.R. James on the BBC and long walks in atmospheric countryside to burn off excess goose. I also like to read The Victor Book for Boys (various years). I do not recommend watching anything on television, unless the BBC do another James.
- Overheard on the train, a mother talking to her young son…
"And when we get home, we'll have to de-Christmas the house."
"Aww. Do we have to?"
"Yes, it's bad luck to leave the decorations up."
"But that means we'll be wasting money."
It turns out the kid had spent 40p on a cheap, tacky good luck chairman to keep bad luck away. Doing other stuff to get rid of bad luck, such as taking down the decorations, would mean that 40p was wasted! His mother wasn't convinced by this argument for some reason…

The Gilthead. NOT guilthead! Named for the gold stripe on the forehead hence 'gilt'. An infrequent visitor to our waters with an obsessive spearfishing following. Sometimes called the 'Golden One' this is perhaps out most prized target and many spearos strive to encounter one of these elusive fish.
The current British Record for Gilthead is 3.34 Kg, held by Crystal Vis' very own Titus. The fish grow much bigger than this however and some 15lb plus fish were seen this year off Portland.
When to catch gilthead:
We have encountered Giltheads infrequently between June and October off the South Coast
Where to catch gilthead:
The Giltheads seem to favour the South Coast. Specimens have been seen off the Dorset Coast and as far West as the Eddystone. They are natives of the Mediterranean so presumably come here for a holiday.
Behaviour and hunting:
Giltheads are very difficult fish. They favour deep water and flat bottoms with little or no cover. They will often be seen hanging behind a shoal of black bream, being even more cautious.
Giltheads are fast moving, powerful and very nervous. We have rarely encountered them in depths less than 20m.
Our approach to Giltheads is one of firepower and great depth! A powerful fish that will never come close demands a powerful gun. Our Giltheads were caught with guns 110-140cm. A dive to 20m+ on the mussle beds may just produce a fleeting sighting of a Gilthead. A long range shot is the best approach as it is unsafe to hang around too long at these depths. Do not dive beyond your competence in search of these fish.
A Dive Report
Final moments of the current Gilthead Record
"Ghosting down at 22m, it was dark despite the 6m plus vis. A vast shoal of black bream whirled about like a carnival downtide of me on the mussle beds. Time was definitely ticking and as I was looking for a target in the dense mass of fish, I saw a huge gillplate moving from left to right. The size and colour suggested a 15 pound plus bass, so I lined up the 140 to fire. As I was about to shoot I saw that it was not a huge bass but a much shorter and stumpier fish. Fortunately the hit was good as it was a stuggle to bring the powerful fish up from such deep water. The very long shooting line of the 140 definitely helped. Moments later the new British Record Gilthead was on the boat!"
11/10 absolutely amazing!!!

Michael Cohen told lawmakers last year, in sworn testimony, that he didn't know whether then-candidate Donald Trump had foreknowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians, three sources with knowledge of Cohen's testimony tell Axios.
The big picture: And Cohen still doesn't know whether Trump knew about the infamous meeting, according to Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis. "Nothing has changed," he told Axios. News reports last month said Cohen was willing to assert to special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump did know about the meeting in advance.

Was anyone in the Florida House paying attention last week when the state's chief economist said the state revenue deficit for FY 2012 was now forecast at $3.75 billion, up from $3.6 billion?
It doesn't appear so because a proposed constitutional amendment regarding property tax relief for the 2012 general election passed the House Community and Military Subcommittee Monday. Of course, it still has a few more committee stops in the House and then on to the Senate before it gets to the governor's desk, if at all. With the deficits the state is facing, the House just doesn't seem to get it; or at least not yet.
The amendment focuses on tax breaks on commercial and residential property similar to the longtime residential tax break, Save Our Homes. This new 3 percent property tax cap would help commercial property owners and second home owners (many from out of state). It also offers first-time homebuyers up to a $200,000 tax exemption and assures any homeowner that there would be no tax increases unless their property values were increased. Under Save Our Homes, a property owner's taxes can go up if the property values erode.
Critics of the proposal were in Tallahassee but they were chided for their warnings of revenue shortfalls. The analysis of CS/HJR 381 says state economists forecast a $231 million cut in tax revenues to local governments the first year and up to $1.2 billion in three years if this proposed amendment is adopted. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Chris Dorworth, R-Lake Mary, is a real estate investor. He said that reduced local revenue is a red herring. Dorworth, according to the McClatchy News Service story, said commercial investors will have the tax certainty to invest in and bring jobs to Florida. Maybe. But, who are these businesses and can they offset $1.2 billion in lost tax revenues?
We invite Dorworth and this House subcommittee to come to St. Johns County to see what prior property tax reform and a failing economy has caused. The county's budget has been cut by $200 million in the past three years, positions have been reduced and wages frozen for those who are left. The county has a new fire station but had to get a federal grant to operate it for two years. If this amendment makes it to the ballot and passes, there could be even less money coming in by the third year. The fire station could be closed again.
The School Board continues to cut back and with the new teacher reform bill awaiting Gov. Rick Scott's signature, the district is forecasting a loss of eight teachers per school to pay for the reform plan.
Our lawmakers say there is no new money. It does not make sense to put this constitutional amendment on the ballot if new money isn't to be gained.

Okay, let's try to go for a real update this time.
First off, in case you thought I was kidding about Dutch licorice, the internet has once again proven me right. I especially like the Japanese guy's reaction.
Anyway, dang, so much to write about. This is going to be kind of brief because I have a lot of catch up on, and I've already visited basically everywhere in this post a bunch of times, so you can go back to previous posts to find pictures.
Let's see...
So last week on Wednesday I went with Kim and Louki to Ise, because they wanted to see Ise and I am always okay with visiting Ise. It was pretty exciting, but since it was my fourth time at Ise I will not really write much here.
...also, Kim and Louki got a bunch of my friends from the dorm to make a little book for me with pictures (INCLUDING A PICTURE HALI DREW OF ALL OF US AS OUR RESPECTIVE PONIES IT IS NOW CANON) and little letters and I might have cried a little but you can't prove it and Kim definitely doesn't have photographic evidence shhhhh. It was basically one of the nicest things anyone has ever done from me and oh my gosh yes. I will treasure it forever.
On Thursday morning I helped out at the tsukinamisai at Susanoo Shrine, at which there was much excitement that I shall not write about but it involved someone nearly passing out, and then afterwards I got FREE LUNCH and also got to listen to a long and complicated discussion about the shrine's finances and their relationship with a couple of important neighborhood organizations. Basically, it was good stuff all around.
Thursday evening I went to pick up my dad from the airport, and managed to get him food without killing him* and got him to his hotel.
On Friday morning I met up with my dad, showed him around some sites near my dorm, like Koushouji and Gosha Shrine and the super awesome bakery in the Valor. I also filled out some paperwork so that he could come up into my room and look around, and I am sure he will tell you how COMPLETELY SPOTLESS and NOT DISORGANIZED my room is. Right, Dad? Anyway, he also got to meet Louki and Grace, which was cool.
...aaaaand then I had to run away to class.
But after class we met up with Itou-san, who came by in her car to pick us up! We were going to go to Nagoya Castle, but the traffic was really bad, so we wound up getting there right before they closed. We decided to save the castle for another day, and we walked around Meijo Park and the castle moat instead. I would just like to note that the koi in the castle moat are INCREDIBLY CREEPY and I am pretty sure I am going to have nightmares about their creepy mouths.
ANYWAY, after that we drove past the City Archives, which are housed in this building that looks like it belongs on the Harvard campus. Not even kidding.
And then we went to Kawahara Shrine to see adorable baby turtles and definitely not to show my dad the shrine or anything.
And then we went to dinner at a really good Chinese restaurant, and Itou-san made endless fun of my dad for eating less than me. And then Itou-san totally stole the check and SOMEDAY I WILL WIN AND PAY FOR A MEAL. I am planning. PLANNING, I SAY.
Anyway, it was all around a very nice day!
Saturday, Dad and I went to Inuyama to see the castle and the other stuff in Inuyama. The castle was much warmer than it was when I went with Nick, but the stairs were still as terrifying. We also went to this cool little puppet museum that is just outside of the castle grounds. And then I introduced my dad to soft cream (it's like the much better version of American soft serve), which may have been a mistake because he might be mildly addicted to it now oops. Anyway, after that we went to the temples on the mountain, and met this Buddhist priest who showed us around a tiny recreation of the Shikoku pilgrimage. The Shikoku pilgrimage is a route of 88 temples located around the entire island of Shikoku, which takes approximately a month to complete on foot. There are hundreds of recreations of the pilgrimage, usually which employ sand or dirt from each site and some sort of sacred object from each site. This particular recreation had little pots of sand below the floor and a scroll from each temple. Anyway, I got a pretty long explanation from the priest, because he was pretty excited that I understood what he was talking about. So that was cool.
After that we were going to go over and check out the Monkey Park, except it turned out to be an amusement park? A really expensive amusement park? I dunno. So instead we headed back to Nagoya, bummed around Osu Kannon and bought AMAZING MEAT BUNS, and then went over to Kanayama to grab curry for dinner.
So that was Saturday!
Sunday, Dad came to my dorm to drop off his bags for the day, and then we went to Nagoya Castle and actually managed to get inside this time. We also visited the Tokugawa Art Museum later that day, which had a big collection of popular books from the 18th century, including, weirdly enough, a bunch of guides to the red light district. I don't even know. There was also a new exhibit on the possessions of the merchant class, which was pretty cool, although I don't know why I would want a tea bowl that cost that much if I were a merchant.
Then we went to the Tokugawa Gardens, which were significantly greener than they were last time I visited, but also had fewer flowers, weirdly enough.
We grabbed dinner at Pastel, aka that weird restaurant that only sells cake and pasta, and then I took my dad to Nagoya Station and said bye.
Upon returning to the dormitory, I discovered that Abbie had spent the entire semester saving one yen coins so she could go to the Lawson (convenience store) and buy a teriyaki burger using only one yen coins (one hundred five of them, to be exact). It was potentially the most epic and trollish thing to ever occur in a convenience store. The cashier at our register managed to get through the entire thing with a perfectly straight face, although the other cashier looked like he was going to die from holding in his laughter. He was turning bright red, not even kidding.
ALSO, Ashley bought cell phone charms for all the pony girls and THEY ARE THE COLORS OF OUR PONIES AND WHY IS THIS SO GREAT. Anyway, I have a tiny bell with a ribbon hanging from my cell phone now, and it is in Twilight Sparkle's colors and it is great.
Monday morning I woke up at an ungodly early hour to say goodbye to Meredith and Hali and Ashley, all of whom were leaving for the airport. Then I saw an annullar eclipse, or, really, I tried to take pictures of it, failed, and then spotted the people across the street who actually had sun filters, and asked them politely if I could share. Thank you, nice people across the street! Anyway, it was amazing cool and I will be incredibly disappointed if I don't develop super powers. And then after that I collapsed into bed and slept for a while, because I was running on four hours of sleep.
Tuesday was Kim and Louki's last day in the dorm, and due to a long and complicated blood pact, Kim had to watch an episode of Sherlock with me, so we (Abbie and Kim and Louki and I) did that. And apparently I spent the entire episode grinning like an idiot, but, HEY, IT'S SHERLOCK AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
Then we went to Mountain, which is a sort of infamous restaurant by the dorm. It is infamous because A. it has the largest serving sizes you have ever seen and B. it has the weirdest pasta you have ever seen, like green tea and red bean. Yeah. But I got a parfait so all was well! Although my chocolate parfait had a prune in it, which was...odd.
And then we had a Roommate Dinner, which turned out to be more like a Roommate Plus a Whole Other Chunk of the Dorm Dinner, which was fine, because it meant that we got to hear about why not to be a politician in India and how the Netherlands doesn't have a government right now and other exciting things.
Today I woke up at an ungodly early hour to take Kim and Louki to Nagoya Station with Dheeraj and Grace, which was exciting even though all of us were sort of falling asleep. (Okay, Grace was literally falling asleep.) Once we saw them off, we fought through the sea of people who decided to ride the subway at rush hour (IT WAS AWFUL I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AUGH) and somehow managed to get back to the dorm without being crushed to death.
Also, I apologize if this post is more incoherent than usual 'cause I think I'm running on roughly three or four hours of sleep. I'm coming down with something, which means that it feels like someone's been sandpapering my throat, so I kept waking up in the middle of the night and thus got lousy sleep. Ugh.
Anyway, yeah, that's what I've been up to, basically. I'm gonna go collapse and drink some more tea now. Oh, and eat more of these crazy plum cough drops, which are the greatest thing I have ever found.
*My dad is allergic to shellfish, which is...problematic, if you live in a port town like Nagoya.

STUDENTS have been warned to be on the look-out for signs of mumps after several colleges reported cases of the infection.
According to the Cherwell student newspaper, Corpus Christi, Brasenose, Lady Margaret Hall, University, Oriel, Hertford, and Queen's have all had students catch the illness in recent weeks.
Emails have been sent out warning people about the symptons of mumps including painful swellings at the side of the face under the ears, headaches, joint pain and a high temperature.
READ ALSO: Couple call for an end to Oxfordshire's IVF 'postcode lottery'
It comes as students are sitting their exams and those who have the illness have been told not to attend lectures for five days in order to stop it spreading.
The virus is transmitted through coughing and sneezing and the colleges are having to quarantine people affected and take them meals to their rooms.
Many will have been vaccinated against Mumps as part of the MMR vaccine in childhood but experts have warned the 'forgotten disease' is coming back with a sharp increase in the number of cases over the last year.
Anyone who thinks they might have the infection has been told to contact their GP.

Guest post by Cameron Haire '18: With more than 70 clubs on campus, you might think that every possible interest is covered, but last year Meritt Wiggin, Matthew Mu and I came up with an idea for a new club to bring alternative horticulture to Gilman. We focused on hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil, presented a proposal to Finance & Administrative Director Sean Furlong, and received funding.
Our primary goal was to study the botanical principles of Mendelian genetics. Director of Plant Operations Wes Hummer worked with us to identify a site for a greenhouse, which we built over the summer in an open spot on the fields, near the track.
In our first growing season, we planted a mix of squash and tomatoes, lettuce, basil, and oregano. We tended our plants throughout the fall. By winter break, they were huge. It was exciting to watch them grow. We were looking forward to harvesting our crop when a windstorm knocked out the panels, killing all the plants and our plans to cross them to see the results.
We were distraught by the destruction of our first season's harvest, but were not going to give up our dream. So we went back to the drawing board. We are now in the process of building a greenhouse in the shape of Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic Dome. The shape will stand up better to the wind. To make it even more sturdy, it will be sunk partially underground.
Meanwhile, our team's resident filmmaker, Meritt Wiggin, documented it all. He made this cool film, which won the grand jury prize in the 2017 Gilman Film Festival.
This initiative turned out to be much more complicated and difficult than we anticipated. But we think the end result will be worth the effort.

Samsara Blues Experiment Announce March 2018 European Touring
I know I said as much around the time they were putting the album out this past Spring, and before that as they took to touring and doing shows again after a couple years' absence, but the resurgence of German psych rockers Samsara Blues Experiment stands among my favorite heavy happenings of 2017. Doesn't at all hurt either that their fourth long-player, One with the Universe (review here), wound up as one of the strongest releases of the year — or will wind up among them when list-time hits next month, anyhow — or that the band has continued to tour on multiple continents. Even if I didn't get to see them, the Berlin trio's continued thriving only makes the European heavy underground as a whole stronger. And yes, I mean that.
Samsara Blues Experiment just took part this week in Dutch outfit The Machine's 10th anniversary show, and the news that they'll once again hit the road come next March couldn't be more welcome, as it will see them carry over the active streak from 2017 to 2018. They promise more to come as well, so I'll be keeping an eye out to the best of my ability. Till then, dates in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany follow here, as presented by Sound of Liberation and posted by the band:

The Huawei comes in three different versions: the P10, the P10 Lite and the P10 plus. The difference lies mainly in the size of the screen, but the electronics under the bonnet are also quite different.
What they all do have in common are the thin edges. This lends the screen a classy and modern look. The sides are of high-quality metal. The rear is made entirely out of specially processed glass which, judging by our initial tests, is quite scratch-resistant. Swipes and fingerprints do not leave much of a mark either.
As for colors, you have ample choice. Because there's not just black and white. No Sir, you can also choose between six other colors, including three gold variants.

Indonesia issues new rules to revive use of corporate commercial paper
[JAKARTA] Indonesia's central bank issued new rules that would work as a guideline for non-bank companies to issue commercial paper as it aims to revive the use of such notes and diversify instruments in the financial market.
In a new regulation dated July 19, Bank Indonesia (BI) said a limited liability company will be allowed to issue promissory notes maturing in one year or less if it meets certain requirements, including a minimum capital and profitability.
BI will also allow trade of the notes in secondary market.
The notes could work as "an alternative short term funding" for firms, BI said in a statement late on Tuesday. The new rules will take effect on Sept. 4.
Previously, there were no rules barring companies from issuing promissory notes, but banks stopped buying and trading them in the money market after the Asian financial crisis in 1997-98 due to default risks, BI Governor Agus Martowardojo said last year when he announced the plan to revive the instrument.
As part of risk management under the new rules, companies offering commercial paper must present good financial statements in the last three years and be assessed by a rating agency. The paper would also have to be registered at BI.
Deepening of Indonesia's financial markets is a key focus of BI. The central bank has relaxed trading rules for some financial market instruments, including allowing banks to sell structured foreign exchange hedging products such as call spread contracts.
It has also tweaked rules on banks' reserve requirement ratio, hoping that they would park some of their excess money in market instruments rather than at BI.
Last year, it made a bold move to switch its benchmark policy rate from the 12-month reference rate to the 7-day reverse repurchase rate to try to fix what some analysts describe as Indonesia's dysfunctional and often volatile short-term money market.

GEORGETOWN, Texas – The Southwestern University Pirates women's swimming and diving team opened its season with a resounding 188-89 victory over Austin College on Saturday.
Southwestern nearly swept all the top finishes, placing first in every event except the 50 Yard Freestyle, missing the mark by fractions of a second and taking three of the top four spots in the event.
Freshman Jesse Stovall helped pace the Pirates, winning both of her individual events and serving as the anchor leg in the women's winning 200 Yard Medley Relay team, which finished with a time of 1:54.51; and was the first swimmer in the first-place 200 Yard Freestyle Relay team, which finished with a 1:46.37 time.
Stovall finished the 200 Yard Freestyle with a time of 2:00.53, which was roughly seven seconds faster than Austin College's Chloe Hunt, who finished second; and had a 54.56 final time in the 100 Yard Freestyle to play a hand in 40 of the Pirates' points.
"The team has been training consistently well and it reflected into this meet," Head Coach Jon Duncan said. "We still have some work to do but look forward to Nov. 9-10 as we travel to OBU and Centenary."
Ashley Harmon also had a strong outing for the Pirates, finishing first in the 1,000 Yard Freestyle with a time of 11:19.50 and the 500 Yard Freestyle with a time of 5:31.86.
Brynn Stokes (1:04.77) finished first in the 100 Yard Backstroke, Rehgan Hartsell (1:10.19) won the 100 Yard Breaststroke and 200 Yard IM (2:04.36), Summer Newton (2:27.38) took the 200 Yard Butterfly and 200 Yard Backstroke (2:21.65), Natalie Gierat (2:39.90) won the 200 Yard Breaststroke, and Cara Chin (1:05.13) won the 100 Yard Butterfly.
In diving, Kyla Gorman was the lone competitor in the Three Meter Dive, scoring a 168.5, and won the One Meter Dive, scoring a 180.70.
Southwestern will travel to Ouachita Baptist on Friday, Nov. 9 for its next meet.

Magesa issued the statement after his meeting with Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner, Paul Makonda, to present the latter with information on the progress of the implementation of the project.
Magesa said the national basketball governing body thanks Makonda for his cooperation with the body in seeing to it the city owns a modern basketball venue, which will as well host other sports disciplines.
The TBF boss also requested the rest of the regional commissioners in Tanzania, officials and sports stakeholders to take a leaf from Makonda's book.
The stakeholders, Magesa noted, should moreover emulate efforts by Simiyu Regional Commissioner, Anthony Mtaka, in construction of sports facilities in the country.
Magesa also disclosed the federation thanks President John Magufuli for helping Dodoma access a project for construction of an ultra-modern sports venue.
Acquisition of modern basketball venues has so far been the biggest challenge facing TBF and regional basketball associations in the country.
The regional basketball associations have been organizing tournaments on venues that are in deplorable conditions and that has seriously been affecting efforts to successfully develop the sport at the domestic level.
President Magufuli had confirmed the construction of an ultra-modern sports venue in Dodoma during an occasion that marked the 53rd Anniversary of the Union between the then Tanganyika and Zanzibar which was held for the first time at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma.
Last year, King Mohamed VI of Morocco visited Tanzania and pledged to build an ultra-modern stadium in Dodoma.
In his visit, dozens of Morocco companies signed agreements with major players of Tanzania private sector, including the newly planned sports venue.
The new stadium is reported to cost between US Dollars 80 and 100m, it will be bigger and better than the current National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
It will also enable the country to be in a better position to bid for hosting major continental and world events such as Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, Africa Nations Champions for home based players (CHAN) finals as well as other top athletics events such as All African Games and World Athletics championships.

Labneh is the loveliest thing – once I discovered it, breakfasts were never the same again!
Labne with a black olive tapenade
I must confess that when the black and white theme for this month was decided on, I felt like a bit of a traitor, for I am actually cheering on two teams. Luckily, the second team still fits the theme! For me the black represents the All Blacks (obviously!) and the white – my native country; England (sorry!).
It was actually Lauren (fellow blogger) who introduced me to the idea of labne and since then we have been trying to find a mutually convenient time to make it for one of our weekend lunches – they have become a bit of a regular thing of late; where we go to each others houses (with our partners) and just eat delicious food. It is one of my favourite parts of the weekend!
I stored the labne in a lemon, garlic and black pepper oil, and paired it with a delicious black olive tapenade to further complement the dish.
Serves 6 as a sideLabne 1kg natural yoghurt 1 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt Lemon, garlic and black pepper oil 3 garlic cloves finely sliced 1 lemon – the rind sliced not grated 10 peppercorns 1.5- 2 cups of olive oil Olive tapenade 200g pitted black olives 1 clove garlic (chopped) 1 shallot (chopped) 2 tsp oil 1 tbsp capers 1 tbsp lemon juice pepper to taste 1 anchovy fillet (optional)
MethodLabne 1. Add all the yoghurt into a bowl and thoroughly combine the sea-salt. 2. Put a colander over a large bowl (make sure the colander doesn't touch the bottom) 3. Place the yoghurt mixture into the muslin bag and then place the whole bag into the colander. 4. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours, (the longer you leave it the firmer the labne will be). At this point make the oil (see below). 5. Once this has been done, take plum sized amounts of the mixture and roll into smooth balls – store in the oil Lemon, garlic and black pepper oil 1. Gently heat the oil in a pan for a few minutes until warm. 2. Remove from the heat and add all the other ingredients. Wait until cooled and then store until needed. Olive tapenade 1. Place all ingredients into a food processor and blitz until a smooth, fine paste is created.

Jess, Your labne sounds absolutely gorgeous. I have never tried it before and was wondering would you serve it with crackers and maybe fresh fruit. What idea's can you share with me. Thanks Maria

I love cabbage. I like the versatility of the vegetable, the crunchiness, and the low calories. Sautéed, roasted, boiled, or raw, it's a great addition to your menu.
This recipe takes the tastiness of the cabbage roll with the convienence of one pot cooking.
1lb hamburger
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup of rice
1 cup of water
Brown hamburger in a large skillet. Drain and return to pot. Add in chopped cabbage, tomatoes with juices, rice, and water. (For mine I cooked the rice separately and added rice to my kids bowls to keep mine low-carb.) Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until cabbage is tender and rice is cooked.
Spoon into bowls and top with cheese! Enjoy a filling, lower calorie meal!

Full Circle: Former UIHC Pediatric Patient, Current UI College of Nursing Student Determined to Pay it Forward
From surgery to student: former patient returns to UI, pursuing medical career
By Connor Morgan | CBS2/FOX28 | 3/26/2017
The sheer number of patients admitted and treated at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics provides a basic overview of the facility's significance.
Some of the tens of thousands seen annually travel from the far corners of the country in search of world-renowned medical service.
Others who make the trek to Iowa City do so upon the recommendations of local physicians.
For New Jersey native Jesse Weiss, the latter was the case.
… Jesse returned home to Glen Rock, New Jersey, but the relationships he forged during his time in Iowa City brought him back at least once a year.
"We made so many good friends here and so many good memories that you can't just erase that part of your life and just pretend it didn't happen."
Those friendships and the medical care played a major role during college consideration.
During Jesse's search, Iowa made the short list of schools.
He applied, and three days later, received his letter of acceptance.

Chirps from Center Ice
A fan blog about the AHL's Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins
2016 Conference Final Previews
May 18, 2016Posted by on
There are four teams left in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The Penguins (sadly) aren't one of them, packing up and heading home on Wednesday, but to keep sharp on the blog and to occupy my time, here is my Western and Eastern Conference Final Previews and predictions…
Ontario (P1) vs. Lake Erie (C2)
Western Conference Finals
How the Reign got here: They beat San Jose in Round One and dispatched rival San Diego in just five games. Ontario is a big, bruising team that halfway through, has yet to be challenged.
How the Monsters got here: In what looked like a sure sweep of the Grand Rapids Griffins in the Division Finals, Grand Rapids beat the Monsters in the next two games and forced a Game 6 before Lake Erie put the Griffins to bed in overtime and ended their season.
How they matchup: The two teams did not face each other in the regular season. Ontario won the Western Conference and the Monsters finished second in the Central Division and third in the Conference. Lake Erie played a structured game all season long and never got too high or too low. Perhaps it's a style that matches up well against the Reign.
Key player so far for Lake Erie: This team was built to be balanced, and that's what they are, with no player at the top of the scoring board sticking out. Could be an interesting thing to watch in who starts in goal in Game 1. Joonas Korpisalo started Game 6, but was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots. Backup Anton Forsberg came on in relief and shut down the Griffins from there, not allowing another goal.
Key player so far for Ontario: Peter Budaj. The reigning Goaltender of the Year has a paltry 1.72 GAA and a .918 SV% in the postseason. With how big and bruising Ontario is as a team, no Monster may see the whites of Budaj's eyes and live to tell about it.
Prediction: Ontario in six. The fairy tale ride that the Monsters has been on turns into a black and silver nightmare. Lake Erie steals one of the first two, then wins at home, but the Reign close out the series before it gets to seven games.
Toronto (N1) vs. Hershey (A1)
Eastern Conference Finals
How the Bears got here: They took rival Wilkes-Barre / Scranton to the limit and won in overtime in Game 7. It was about as evenly matched as two teams could be as playoff opponents.
How the Marlies got here: They, too, went the distance against an Albany side that could have beaten the AHL's best team all season.
How they matchup: They met twice in the regular season with each team winning by multiple goals.
Key player so far for Hershey: Carter Camper. Chris Bourque's center man ran wild against the Penguins who did a good job of limiting the AHL MVP to just two goals and two assists in the series, not allowing Bourque a goal at even strength, but it was Camper who stole the show and sent the Penguins packing with seven points (4-3-7) in the series.
Key player so far for Toronto: Connor Carrick. The ex-Bear has 14 points for his Marlies team so far in the postseason. He'll be playing for something extra, looking to send his old team packing for the summer.
Prediction: Marlies in five. Toronto played their worst game of the season in Game 6 last round against Albany, then battled back from behind in Game 7 and advanced. This team is deep and talented. Hershey took a Wilkes-Barre lineup with an unknown goaltender from the ECHL with a lineup filled with college and junior kids to the limit and won. They now face a Toronto machine that had been the AHL's best team all season long in the Conference Finals. The Bears steal home ice away from the Marlies in Game 1 or 2 but Toronto adjusts and puts the 11 time Champions away in five games.
If you still have a team in this, enjoy.

Empathizing is the art of acknowledging someone's feelings to show that you understanding without saying "I understand." When used properly, empathizing can diffuse emotional reactions to allow for more reasonable, productive conversation.
Listen Use the listening skills we've all heard a million times. Pay attention, don't interrupt, use positive body language, and maintain regular (though not constant) eye contact. Quiet your brain for a moment and just listen.
Recognize the Emotions Presented Some examples of emotions that are easy to recognize and usually safe to verbally acknowledge include: confused, frustrated, worried, concerned, overwhelmed, or nervous. It's advisable to stay away from naming emotions that could erode the person's self esteem or potentially heighten the stress level if assigned incorrectly.
Do Not Judge As human beings, we are blessed with the ability to feel. Recognize that sometimes we feel more than others, and these feelings can present themselves in the form of aggressive body language, raised volume, unkind words, or a reddened face. Don't let the fact that someone is experiencing strong feelings get in the way of finding a solution or resolving an issue.
Remove Yourself The most important thing to remember when empathizing with people who are clearly expressing emotions is that it is not you who needs to be acknowledged, it's them. Beware, it is truly easier said than done. Do not say "I understand," for in many situations you will be faced with the common retort, "How can you possibly understand?!" or "No you don't!" Also, don't start with "I noticed" or "I think," as these both begin with you instead of them.
Empathize A good empathizing statement includes a very brief summary of the situation (paraphrase) along with a general statement about the emotion you are observing. Here are some examples:
"Sounds like this economy has caused you some worry." (Situation: economy; emotion: worry)
"Dealing with four kids and three dogs must be really overwhelming." (This one uses a gentle assumption of emotion, rather than assigning one)
"It can be confusing to figure out home loan paperwork for the first time." (This one refers to the situation without specifically putting the person into it.)
"So, you're concerned that your payment won't arrive on time and you'd like to receive daily e-mail updates?" (This one begins with the ever-useful "so" and ends with a question, which is a great way to empathize and verify accuracy in one sentence.)
Continue Don't let the person's emotion(s) take control. Make your best effort to diffuse the emotions, and then move on with the rest of the conversation. Use your problem-solving, compromising, collaboration, cooperation or negotiation skills to regain control and move forward with a reasonable conversation.
