2013: Paris or London? Philippa Snow and James Loks with a Tale of Two Cities
Editor's Note: For our 2013 review, we tasked Philippa Snow, in London, and James Loks, in Paris, to discuss highs and lows, favourites and flops, and whether London or Paris had the best year. Their conversation, unedited, is presented below (with links added in to help you locate the reviews and events they talk about).
to Philippa
I've just been trying to think about what I'm going to say, in between writing shopping lists and looking at fish stew recipes. Yes we are eating fish stew for christmas which is largely because my wife is Polish, carp is not very tasty and we don't have a bath in which to keep it. This takes a longer explanation but you can google it.
And being gutted that I got back from London yesterday and didn't manage to realise that the Paul Klee show was on until I was on the train home. I know he's not really everyone's cup of tea but I'm some kind of nerdy fan.
I was thinking about asking you what's good, although this is kind of idiotic and maybe not even within the remit of what we're supposed to be talking about. But still, I'm curious to know what for you makes a good show, or good art even, aside from maybe examples [yes, idiotic].
I was also trying to check what I enjoyed and failing because the website isn't loading at this exact moment in time. I remember being enthusiastic about photography in general, getting drunk with Laure Prouvost, although I don't remember if this was this year, Julio le Parc and err, I'm not sure what else. Yes I did just shamelessly name check the Turner prize winner in a way that makes our connection sound way more intimate than it was, I was at one end of a very long table, she was at another. And in fact, since so much was made of her being pregnant, it was probably last year, so irrelevant.
Bon fete!
p.s. I very much admired your take on Japanese sexy time at the British Museum.
to me
And so!:
It's interesting that you'd mention Laure Prouvost (and your proximity to her, during what we're now calling - in the interests of keeping this 2013-friendly - a deeply intoxicated pregnancy), because my favourite show of the year was one about which I wrote nothing: the Schwitters retrospective at Tate Britain, for which the "Wantee" work was originally produced (as a Grizedale Arts commission, I believe). This could, in fact, also potentially segue into the topic of "what [I believe] makes a good exhibition," because what I adored about the Schwitters retro was its wryness, which always makes a show for me. I think that art which is genuinely playful or humorous is sometimes seen as the preserve of the contemporaries, so it's great to see Schwitters' marvelous nonsense -
(to wit:
Collected so comprehensively. Did you catch any particularly amusing - or witty, rather - shows in Paris this year?
(To wit..)
The Shunga affair was an interesting one for me as well, as you mentioned, not least because I attended it while still stricken with the dregs of the lurgy: you can imagine the kind of obscene fever-dream it would've read as in that state. I have to say, though - it was a heartening risk for the British Museum in its gleeful filthiness. I dream, of course, of a day when every parent can take their supervised preteen to see an octopus violating a diver at a major museum - on a drizzly Sunday, no less - at any time of the year, anywhere in the land. But that's just me.
I hear that you were lucky enough to attend my work party in Paris, anyhow, while I was stuck in swingeing (and drizzling) London. How was that? And how was Paris Photo in general, if you caught it?
to Philippa
Shit. I just wrote a whole long thing and then threw it in the bin by accident. Perfect.
I like your choice of words, a gentle line on satire perhaps, or something a little less pointed, and it's something I also appreciate. I found Laure Prouvost redeems herself from the worst kind of performance ridiculousness with this, that and a form of earnestness which is hard to resist. But I'd never have Schwitters down as particularly humorous artist, did this come across in the show? Another great one I missed by the way. . .
I'll also say that Grizedale were a pretty amazing beacon of general fun and weird goodness throughout Frieze a couple of years back, I particularly enjoyed the monster mortadella.
As for Paris, it's not very original or interesting but one of the best shows I remember was Julio le Parc at Palais de Tokyo. Funny but in more of a 'come play with me' type thing, and I'm a sucker for a bit of interactivity, reminds me of buttoning pushing trips to the science museum when I was a kid. It had a lot of pretty flashing lights and inflatable punch bags with policemen's faces painted on them.
As for Paris photo, I really enjoyed it. Like I said in the review it was kind of a refreshing break because most art fairs make me want to suck my teeth from my gums and choke on them in the hope of a quick end, New York Frieze this year proving no exception. But this was a bit less full of itself and when you looking at photos you're just looking at a pretty picture, you know what I mean? As opposed to the nature of the universe. . .
In case you didn't hear about it, it looked like your colleagues had a great time at the work party, as indeed did my wife and I, and what's not to like at Silencio with free drinks, apart from the fact real people don't look like David Lynch characters.
Otherwise, Paris, hmmmm, I'm not sure what I can say, there've been the usual round of big names circulating through big galleries, the usual big retrospectives touring through big institutions, still a dearth of smaller or artist run spaces. . .
The most hubristic thing I've done this year though is start talking about this new aesthetic, derivative or inspired by Maurizio Cattelan, and the whole Toiletpaper thing. I guess it's inevitable that in a graduate show, I started talking about it after the ECAL photography exhibition, you'll see work that influenced by something so successful and you know, kind of present in Paris at the moment with the Kenzo adverts. What makes me take the leap and try to identify it as something I don't know. What's the perspective in London? It's probably been and gone over there no? [But it might also display this wryness]
What's the worst thing you saw?
And I thought I'd send you this
David Lynch, Untitled (Lodz), 2000; Courtesy of the Artist and The Photographers' Gallery.
to me
I laughed out loud at the idea of looking at the "nature of the universe" at art fairs - you're exactly right. I've a complicated relationship with them: on the one hand, it all seems too much of a great nod to commerce - a "trade show," almost exactly - but then on the other, I at least appreciate the scope of the work that's (theoretically) on show.
And I know exactly what you mean about the ToiletPaper aesthetic: those brightly-coloured absurd constructions featuring - often - young, lissom people are fairly ubiquitous. But Permanent Food was a kind of proto-tumblr, I'd say, so it's less surprising. I will say that as somebody who works at a magazine with a fashion element based in London, there's a real move towards that style in terms of fashion photography (some of it coming from here, and some from New York, with varying degrees of success).
The "worst" show I saw? I feel awful even writing this, but certainly the show from which I gleaned the least was the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2013, at the ICA. I've no desire to sound like an old crone, or a fuddy-duddy who disagrees with art for ugliness' sake, or art with a one-note concept per se, but I felt myself utterly alienated by almost everything I saw here: to me, a great deal of it looked the way that art might look in an episode of Nathan Barley, if you'll excuse the untopical reference.
("It's good 'cause it looks like it's good 'cause it's rude, yeah?")
I am willing to admit that this may be a genuine lack of insight on my part, but it's definitely my final verdict.
On the other hand: this willingness to take risks - and to ehibit counterculture - is the same reason that the ICA is perhaps my favourite London art venue. In a similar vein, I saw an excellent show at Raven's Row a few months ago about psychedelia, which included a wonderful series of Jordan Belson films, a little like this one:
I was sad to have missed Philippe Parreno at the Palais De Tokyo, not least because I read that it reduced Adrian Searle to tears. Did you go?
to Philippa
The scary thing is might just be there [the nature of the universe that is], forgotten somewhere in a corner behind a pile of boxes. Not that I'd recognise it as after about ten minutes in a fair I get this visual snow thing.
But I've seen your worst show in London! How exciting. And yes, much as I love the ICA, it was pretty woeful. I don't know, it seemed kind of tired, not what you want from a show of this sort. A curious paradox, both a bit fresh from Art School and a bit tired. One piece illustrated what we're talking, and I think agreeing, about: a quarter circle of different neons in a mirrored corner, in itself good, visually interesting and all the rest, but underneath were arranged a quarter circle of disposable mineral water bottles, I can't remember which brand, but the important thing, for this piece, was that they had different coloured caps, you can imagine the kind of thing, with a hint of lemon, blackberry, etc etc. Yes, matching the colours of neons. It seems crass and out of place, you go to the wall and read the blurb and the bottles were filled with petrol that was the amount used to run the lights or something or other. I don't know. I guess you get what I'm talking about, it was a good piece spoilt because it was trying to be something it wasn't [And no sense of humour]. Anyway. I'd probably say this show was mediocre, but, fortunately for you, it wasn't the worst thing I've seen this year, although now I'd be hard pressed to directly recall anything specific. I appear to be blessed with a selective memory. This is the year however when I introduced my 'Conforama test' for visual art. Conforama being a mid-to-economy level interior design store found in Paris, they have a website. The test is to judge if the object/painting would look out of place in a Conforama store. If it does then it passes. What's scary is the amount of work that fails. What's also scary is the amount of work and artists. I don't know, do you find this as terrifying as I do? Even if I long gave up on any pretence to comprehensive knowledge.
Philippe Parreno. No. I haven't seen it. I have been meaning to. And admitting this is not very professional, but now, with the added incentive of Adrian Searle's tears I will certainly use the next week to visit. It's 22 thousand square meters, did you know that? For one artist, first time ever in Palais de Tokyo. . . That's a really big show.
And I love the spinning lights.
But tell me, the year ahead? What's the story?
Finally, I consulted the room to see what video I should send, and my wife suggested Krecik the mole because Zdenek Miler died last year, and then I checked and he didn't, he died in 2011, but. . . .
Philippe Parreno, Anywhere, Anywhere, Out Of The World, Palais de Tokyo, 2013; © Photo : Aurélien Mole.
to me
For the year ahead - I have to admit that I haven't yet seen the Chapman brothers' new show at the Serpentine, which I'm quite looking forward to checking out now that I'm back in the city: even those I know who aren't normally fond have reported good things, and I take some gurgling, juvenile glee in their work as-is. Martin Creed, too, has his first major retrospective at the Southbank this year, as soon as the end of this month; on a less artbuster-y note, I'll be checking out this:
I'm rather hoping to go back to Art Basel Miami this year, too, if only to have the opportunity to write a whole debauched gonzo magnum opus about it. I reckon I could manage at least a short book.
Oh, and having mentioned Lynch earlier (which we did, by dint of having mentioned Silencio) - he's an exhibition on at the Photographers' Gallery over here, from the 14th of this month. It's of his "factory photographs," which may be less interesting than some of his output, but I'll still be duty-bound to check it out, as I do with everything Lynch, year by year.
As payback for your delightful mole - and as a working answer to your question about anxiety I might feel about the ever-growing number of artists who need to be looked at - I include a brief classic from the master below:
I know exactly the rainbow artwork you're talking about.
(And I'm glad that the ecstasy of Adrian Searle might spur you on to visit the show at the Palais: equally unprofessional to admit, but I always follow his reviews, and usually enjoy them - I remember one about his visit to the Yoko Ono show at the Serpentine in [can it be?] 2012, where he ended it by saying he was off to the pub.)
And what about your new year?
to Philippa
Hi, sorry for the late reply deadline-wise, I just got off a plane and am eventually back in Paris. Whew. International christmas duties over for one year.
This all sounds very interesting and exciting! I appreciate both the Chapman's and Martin Creed [particularly the inchoate rage he, in fact the both do (or should I say all since they're twins?) provoke in certain people]. Getting a reaction. . . .
In Paris I'd love to tell you what I'm looking forward to but I can't. This isn't through laziness [I promise] but I had to give up after about half an hour of looking through the most absurdly dysfunctional selection of websites you're ever likely to see because I was ready to scream or pull my own eyeballs out. Palais de Tokyo, haha, they have a great website and another huge show about the sky, which, sounds like lots of fun. So I don't know, I'm looking forward to continuing the search for things that are behind the surface of this city, but we'll see how that goes.
I also remembered perhaps the worst thing I saw last year, the state sponsored 'Art-squat' on Rue Rivoli. Terrible.
But here's wishing you a wonderful new year of great art and good things
James xx
P.S. I'm sure there'll be some great shows in Paris this year. Promise it.

Every second day we hear alarming stories of children suffering a fate they don't deserve. In 2016, India topped the Global Slavery Index with more than 18 million people trapped in different forms of modern slavery – five times more than any other country in the world. Child prostitution is one such form of modern day slavery that is a constant threat to young girls in India. For many girls this is a brutal reality – young and innocent lives thrown into a world of abuse, neglect and exploitation. This World Day against Child Labour, we at Free a Girl India pledge our solidarity to continue our efforts towards protecting and safeguarding minor girls who are coerced into working as sex slaves.
Young girls in prostitution are regularly exposed to appalling sexual abuse, violence and humiliation at the hands of deceitful traffickers and pimps. Over the years, child trafficking and child prostitution have become lucrative forms of organized crime in India. The buying and selling of underage girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation has become a common practice. In several cases girls are tricked owing to their vulnerability, and are given false promises of a bright future and well-paying job opportunities. They are eventually sold into prostitution. Take the case of 16-year-old Tinku (name changed) who was promised a good job in Delhi by a couple she met on the train while traveling to Kolkata. The couple tricked her and later sold here to a brothel keeper in Delhi. Here she was forced into prostitution for four months until she was rescued in a raid conducted by the Delhi police. Tinku is now a part of the Free a Girl family and wants to help other girls who are suffering the same ordeal as she once did. From an abusive and exploitative environment, she is now pursuing an education in law to fight against impunity of offenders.
India is identified as one of the leading hotspots of child sex trafficking in the world as per UNICEF's State of the World's Children Report 2012. Besides, according to a Human Rights Watch report, there are as many as 20 million prostitutes in India out of which an alarming 35% are below the age of 18. Unfortunately, many young girls continue to be lured into the vicious cycle of trafficking and sexual slavery. Such devastating and heinous crimes against minor girls violate not only their overall well-being but also their basic human right to live with dignity and self-respect.
Although there are stringent punishments for perpetrators of child trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of minors in India, such issues still need to be curbed completely through extensive efforts from government organizations, NGO's, international bodies and the civil society at large. Regular trainings, education and discussions on child trafficking and child prostitution at every level is a crucial step towards addressing these problems. Today as we observe World Day Against Child Labour, let us together work towards irreversibly breaking the chain of child abuse and commercial sexual exploitation of our girls so that they can live and grow up feeling cared for and protected in their own communities.

Selling what is one of the finest pieces of tailored clothing I've ever owned. This size 40R 80% wool/20% cashmere sportcoat from Vincenzo Attolini's Stile Latino is a beautiful jacket that will keep you warm through the F/W seasons. It's unlined and unstructured, yet warm, with beautiful natural shoulders and high armholes so it wears like your best sweater rather than a stiff sportcoat. Wouldn't call it a knit but it's got a great spongy-ish thickness to it. Very soft and cozy texture. The patch pockets have a great shape and there's extensive, beautiful double pick stitching throughout. Made in Italy, of course! Purchased 1 year ago from eHaberdasher and worn gently in the F/W as part of a large rotation of tailored clothing, so it's in very good shape. Sleeve buttons are nonfunctional. Dual vents. Asking for $450 OBO shipped in the CONUS.
Here's some information about Stile Latino if you haven't heard of them before: https://www.permanentstyle.com/2015/...-attolini.html and https://www.instagram.com/stile_latino/?hl=en
Shoulder: 18"
Chest: 20.5"
Sleeve: 25" (from seam to outside edge)
Length: 28.5" from bottom of collar
Please ask all questions prior to purchasing. I do not accept returns.

We're Changing The Remodeling Industry
Cambridge Exteriors started out as a roofing repair business that was looking to take storm of the market. It has been more than 20 years now that we've been in the business, and we've definitely strayed from that initial goal to become the remodeling company that we are today. Over the years we have perfected our craft, explored new areas of remodeling and renovation and evolved into the business that we are today.

Remodel the Space You've Wanted
The most exciting part of remodeling a space is that you're able to design and create everything that you need, with our help. We will sit down with you and determine what components of your current layout are not working with your lifestyle. After we've determined what types of things are creating a disruption in your space, we will work together to find solutions for these problems and incorporate them into the design that we work on together. Our goal is to provide you with a space that works for you and all of your needs, so we will work with you to ensure that this layout is everything that you need. From there we will move on and begin the material selection process. All of the materials that we use are going to be from the leading suppliers in each of these industries, so you can count on not only having a space that is beautiful, but one that is going to outlast the daily wear and tear that will happen in this area.

The primary focus here at Cambridge Exteriors is to make your remodeling project one that you enjoy. We are able to increase the chances of that happening by being upfront and honest with you throughout the project.

Doing so allows for us to provide you with a realistic timeframe of how long this type of project will take to complete, as well as a budget that could realistically care for all of the features that are going to be added to the home remodeling project.

Types of Embossing
This website was developed by Geno Jezek,
owner of the online magnet store, www.Custom-Magnets.com. Custom-Magnets has been supplying
magnetic material and custom fridge magnets since 1999.
Embossing is the procedure by which the paper surface is pushed forward using an embossing die to cause a raised image. There are different types of embossing that can be done.
Types Of Embossing
Blind Emboss: A blind emboss is one which is not stamped over a printed image or with a foil. The color of the embossed image is the same as the color of the surface. You can also call it a self emboss or same color embossing.
Registered Emboss: This is an embossed image that exactly registers to a printed or foil stamped image. The printed image area is embossed to give is a raised look.
Single-Level Emboss: In this kind of embossing, the image area is raised to just one flat level.
Multi-Level Emboss: In this kind of embossing, the image area is raised to multiple levels having different depths. This gives the embossed image texture and added relief and makes it all the more interesting.
Sculptured Emboss: A sculptured emboss actually refers to a hand tooled process. It is made from a photograph or a drawing with various levels of depth to make the image appear realistic and multi dimensional.
Printed Emboss: In this kind of embossing, the embossed area registers with printed image. Depending on customer requirements and specifications, the bevel can stay inside the printed image or go outside it.
Tint Emboss: This is a relatively new creation where pearl or pastel foil is used for embossing. The methodology is the same as other embossing but the technique is very much in demand and vogue currently. Also, for tint embossing it is best to use white stock because pearl and pastel foils are transparent.
Combo Emboss: This refers to an embossed image that is also foil stamped.
Glazing: This refers to a polished emboss. Glazing is a popular technique used on dark colored stock. The heat and the pressure when pressing the die are increased substantially. This adds shine to the surface. If a very high temperature is used, light color papers can be scorched to change the paper color. This provides for great contrasting designs if done properly.
Debossing: The surface is depressed instead of raised as in embossing.Thus, there are many types of embossing to choose from depending on the use of embossing.

As a major global supplier of forest risk commodities, such as palm oil and paper & pulp, Southeast Asia is critical to demonstrating evidences of sustainable land use impact that combines forest protection and economical growth.
Increasing number of companies that produce or source agricultural or forest commodities in the region have committed to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains by 2020 and are moving towards implementation. In addition, Governments of Southeast Asian nations, local and provincial governments, NGOs, Indigenous Peoples organizations are now focusing on how to reduce deforestation and forest fire in a manner that boost economic growth and people's well-being.
The Southeast Asia Initiative aims to accelerate the above mentioned transitions through four main workstreams namely:
- Bolstering international sustainable investment in Southeast Asia's economies
- Supporting smallholder farmers and independent third party suppliers
- Championing a new narrative for deforestation-free growth
- Support on peat restoration efforts in Indonesia
The Southeast Asia Initiative consist of a working group of multistakeholder regional and global partners, who connect through the TFA 2020 digital collaboration platform and through monthly conference calls to meet the jointly work on the four workstreams.

With Britain's Got Talent returning to screens this week, presenters Ant & Dec hit up Trafalgar Square in a brand new clip to open this year's series – and it's VERY patriotic.
Introduced by the sound of trumpets, Ant & Dec can be seen appealing to the crowds, with Ant saying: "People of Britain, here is our campaign promise. In these turbulent times we promise to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step."
Surrounded by cheerleaders, circus performers, a brass band and Bollywood dancers, the boys make an impassioned speech...
"In 2017 this glorious nation needs entertainment and for that we require your help... no matter who you are or where you're from, there is one thing that we all love," Dec declares.
Before it cuts to Simon Cowell interrupting: "Me!"
Ant clarifies: "No, no, no, the one thing we all love is talent!"
The boys are also seen visiting children in schools, while clips of normal everyday Britons in supermarkets and pubs are shown tuning in to Ant & Dec's campaign – even the Queen is watching.
Dec declares: "Throughout this campaign, we shall ask that one important question – has Britain got talent?"
This new season marks David Walliams and Alesha Dixon's sixth year on the show since joining during the 2012 series, alongside long-running judges Simon and Amanda Holden.
Britain's Got Talent returns this Saturday (April 15) at 8pm on ITV.

You're not going to like this. And you don't want to believe it.
But neither of those changes the fact that it's true: Tony Romo has authored more comebacks than Roger Staubach.
Weird, but the quarterback constantly panned in these parts for being a choker is actually clutch in the, um, clutch.
While his critics were rubbing their hands together Sunday afternoon in advance of over-analyzing his fourth-quarter interception that put the Cowboys on the brink of an Apocalyptic loss to the lowly Minnesota Vikings, Romo up and engineered the 20th comeback drive of his career. That silence you hear today? Romo haters, stewing in the corner. Their favorite, lazy catcalls muted by the quarterback's last-minute success.
Romo wasn't great Sunday. His accuracy was fuzzy. His receivers dropped a bushel of passes. And the ill-advised pick with two minutes remaining almost cost the Cowboys another heart-breaking loss. But if you're going to rip him when he fails, you must praise him when he's Staubachian. Right?
Romo was perfect on Dallas' winning drive. Nine plays. 90 yards. He completed seven of nine passes, the only two to hit the ground were a clean drop by Terrance Williams and a frantic throwaway that saved a sack and hit a referee out of bounds. His game-winning touchdown pass to Dwayne Harris was vintage No. 9, extending the play with his legs and delivering an unorthodox, off-balance strike with his arm.
"If you pull back and look at Tony Romo's career, I know a lot of people want to talk about some of these plays or games where things didn't work out," said Cowboys' head coach Jason Garrett. "But if you really look at his body of work and you look at it objectively, he's done this kind of stuff a lot. Anybody who understands football and has followed our team understands what a fantastic player he is. That was on display again today."
I know Romo also has 24 fourth-quarter interceptions and the images of his failures are haunting. But he has more game-winning drives than Captain Comeback.
Like it or not.

Set Your Photos Free
In Paid Sponsorship With Jessop's
Do you remember the embarrassing baby photo albums?
Whilst visiting the new refit of the Jessop's camera and print store in Nottingham, we were shown the concept of their ethos. With the power of social media, we are a nation obsessed with sharing all our photos online. We are relying on our photos being stored online
Do any of you still print photographs?
I don't, which is weird considering I used to love creating photo albums - very DIY craft book with random bits and pieces stuck in.
After listening to the store concept at Jessop's, I loved to hear that they are make printing more accessible so we can cherish the memories instead of loosing track of them on social media.
I rely too heavily on time hop in the vein hope it will bring back hilarious memories from nights out with my friends to old holiday photos with family.
Talk To The Pros
Did you know that every member of Jessop's are photographers? Meaning you have a question about lenses, lighting, printing or composition, these guys are the ones to ask. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many enthusiastic photographers in one space all with knowledge of different cameras whether it was the Fuji Instax cameras or DSLR.
Polaroid or DSLR?
Benefits of Polaroids:
- No editing
- No second takes
- No dog ear filters
- No fake beautifying filters
- Just real, in-the-moment captures
- Print instantly to cherish
Benefits of DSLR
- Clearer photo quality
- More control over settings (lighting)
- Can photo fix afterwards
- Print to any scale
- Share across social media and online
The truth is, I would recommend both. What's great about DSLR is you can edit, photo fix and share with multiple people. At Jessop's they had some pretty awesome ways to turn your photos into gifts such as puzzles (mum, expect a 1000 piece puzzle of my face for Mother's day). Your photo quality will always be better but in comparison there is something so special about capturing a raw moment.
It's a very hipster trend to have old 80's polaroids, especially any of you Stranger Things fans, and there is a huge range of he Fuji Instax cameras in all different colours. These are SO much fun to play with, and luckily the team in store can show you all the different settings and filters you can add to the lens.
What I love about polaroids is the unedited version of the night. We had one at a Christmas house gathering and the photos we took were hilarious, candid and so much fun to look back on the next day. You seem to capture a much more real image that tells more of a story than the perfectly edited versions we tend to alter with DSLR.
What are your thoughts?
Whether you have a polaroid, DSLR, or any other type of camera.... Let me know what you prefer and why.
In the meantime, be sure to visit the new Jessop's store on the highstreet in Nottingham. The fit out looks fantastic, encouraging you to take your time whilst visiting 'set your photos free' with their range of printing services available.

Set in the Yorkshire at the foothills of the Pennines and with a third of the city lying within the Peak Disctrict National Park. What was largely an industrial town (known as Steel City) Sheffield was responsible for inventing Stainless Steel during the industrial revolution and was also home to a large coal mining industry. Sadly like a lot of cities these industries suffered sharp decline.
Today, Sheffield is more well known for being a great retail hub, both in the centre and the out of town Meadowhall shopping centre (built on the site of a former steelworks). It is also the home of Snooker, hosting the World Snooker Championships every year at the Crucible Theatre, and boasts the world's oldest football club – Sheffield FC. Did you know that Sheffield has the highest ratio of trees to people at around 4:1 (2.5 million trees). Famous people from Sheffield include Sean Bean, Jarvis Cocker, Michael Palin & Sir John Fowler.
Sheffield has always been changing and adapting rapidly with the world around it, much like so many other cities who have to embrace the twists and turns of industry and economy.

The bread and butter of digital innovation is its ability to save. Doing things electronically almost always means doing them faster and at lower cost. This axiom of modern innovation has altered every industry and type of operation.
According to a recent survey, the latest operation to be affected by this trend is the field-service organization. In May, Honeywell, a technology and manufacturing company, released the findings of a survey it conducted with research and advisory firm the Service Council. The results show that field-service organizations are realizing big cost savings by changing their workflow processes. Specifically, 38 percent expect to save 30 minutes or more per technician per day by changing and improving workflow processes. For those companies, this generated a potential average savings of $875,000 per year.
The most highly ranked opportunities to improve technician efficiency were daily schedule management and communication, clock-in and clock-out processes, parts look-up, resolution information and knowledge look-up. Additionally, the top-rated areas for workflow improvement were planning and forecasting, scheduling, and call and appointment management.
The survey also showed that adding only technology infrastructure to the field operation is not the whole solution. While 65 percent of organizations indicate that they are fairly diligent about conducting process reviews of their field-service operations, only 27 percent indicate that they are doing so while keeping an eye on revenue objectives.
The report suggests that companies must move from simply replacing paper with digital processes to doing so with the goal of pleasing the customer to increase satisfaction, brand loyalty and, ultimately, revenue.
The report polled 260 decision-makers from organizations in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific about their field-service processes to gauge potential areas of improvement and enhancement for these organizations. The survey showed that 75 percent of respondents have conducted a process review in the past 12 months, most of which are driven by continuous improvement programs. But 25 percent has not, and 63 percent of that group has not conducted a process review in more than five years.

Hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from atrial fibrillation have been prescribed the drug Pradaxa since it was released in 2010. Unfortunately, experts have now warned that the anticoagulant may cause significant health risks like internal bleeding.
The first Pradaxa warnings came weeks after it was approved by the FDA. In October 2010, MedWatch noted it had received more adverse reports on Pradaxa than 98% of other drugs on the market. These included internal bleeding in the brain, intestines and kidneys, as well as heart attacks.
By the end of March 2011, the FDA had received more than 500 reports of internal bleeding injury or death among Pradaxa patients. In December of 2011, the agency finally announced it would investigate the dangers of Pradaxa, after receiving reports of 3,781 side effects and 542 deaths, which was the highest of all medications in 2011.
Unfortunately, patients were not given a proper Pradaxa problems warning until thousands of people were already injured or killed. Although the drug is still on the market, a federal judge recently ruled that those injured may proceed with lawsuits.
If you or a loved one suffered internal bleeding while taking Pradaxa, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. Contact us today to speak with a lawyer about your legal options.
While all blood thinning drugs have the risk of causing internal bleeding, those like Coumadin or Warfarin have reversal agents that can be used in the case of emergency.
The March, 2012 issue of Journal of Neurosurgery, gave patients a more detailed Pradaxa warning. Researchers examining the death of a man from internal bleeding while on Pradaxa noted the concerns of doctors that once Pradaxa caused bleeding, there is little they can do to stop it.
In September of 2012, The Journal for The American Medical Association warned that the FDA may have rushed approval of Pradaxa, overlooking key side effects like internal bleeding.
That same month, the University of Pécs in Hungary released a Pradaxa warning in a study showing risks of the drug may outweigh the benefits. Researchers found that patients taking Pradaxa after an acute heart condition were three times as likely to have a bleeding event.
Experts fear thousands of patients may ultimately suffer serious internal bleeding or death from Pradaxa side effects. Due to the number of lawsuits expected, they have been consolidated to a special federal court in Illinois.
Lawyers are currently helping those affected by Pradaxa bleeding file claims against the manufacturer. If you or a loved one were injured, it is important to learn your legal options and how long you have to take action.
Before you choose a lawyer, make sure they are qualified for this type of lawsuit and have experience fighting large drug companies. The Drug Resource Center only recommends law firms that specialize in Pradaxa lawsuits.
For more information on the side effects, warnings and legal action related to the drug Pradaxa, or to speak with a lawyer, contact us today. We are available 24 hours a day to provide help.

Government 'quick fix' Assembly strategy blown out of water
Alliance representative for South Belfast, Allan Leonard, has said the debacle of the first meeting of the Assembly's Restoration Committee — set up to progress work on achieving full devolution to Northern Ireland — shows that the Government's "quick fix" strategy has utterly failed.
Speaking after today's failed meeting, Allan Leonard, who is also Alliance General Secretary, said: "The nonsense this morning shows that the Assembly parties couldn't even agree on arrangements for chairing the committee. This means that the Governments, as signatories of the Agreement, must fundamentally re-assess how far we have to go.
"We in Alliance had reservations about the value of this committee, but we attended to do a job for the people we represent. But we will not take on other people's jobs for them. There are many issues to be covered, there are genuine difficulties to recognise, and all parties have a duty to take their share of responsibility.
"The Government 'strategy' of trying to arrange a quick fix between the DUP and Sinn Fein has been blown out of the water. If they cannot even agree on how to chair a meeting, what hope is there that they will agree to form an Executive within the next six months?
"Every day wasted until the Government takes the lead and convenes all-party inclusive talks makes it less likely that the fundamental problems with the Agreement will be resolved.
"That is why we are demanding all-party talks right now."

Hi crafters! turn your Carousel Organizer Carousel 6 Bin into a convenient Easter Bunny Basket that you can be used for so much more after! 1. To make your bunny ears simply take some piper cleaners in pink and white and simply fold them over like bunny ears. (I would have used loopy chenille but Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays lol…)
2. Take a wooden dowel or skewer and poke it through the center styrofoam piece that comes with your brand new organizer. This will be used to hold those bunny ears in place. Cover the stick with piper cleaner. Tada instant bunny ears.
For the remainder I simply added some grass and Easter gift items to each container and you can either add a bow or not as seen below.

So, I'm at altitude right now. As you may know, the partial pressure of oxygen at altitude is about half that at sea level. To compensate for that issue, the human body takes on short term and long term adaptions. The long term adaptions (decreased lactic acid production, increased hematocrit, mitochondria and aerobic enzyme production) are super gucci for athletes. That's why we're here, after all. Altitude is basically legal doping. The short term effects, however are less desirable. They're also the leading source of emergency room visits in Park City, Utah and most clearly defined by hyperventilation. That is, breathing really hard.
When I was about ten, I started having trouble breathing in and around exercise. After soccer games, light jogs, the Super Bowl, I had a nasty, raspy cough and needed a sec to catch my breath. At first, my parents assumed I had a classic case of the waddles. You know, when chubby little kids first begin to exercise, they kind of have to waddle, catch their breath, waddle and catch their breath. That was me, with my glorified baby fat, waddling. But I never quite caught my breath.
After a year involved in sport, when we could no longer blame the condition on my athleticism (or lack thereof), we (by we I mean my parents and other certified physicians) diagnosed my asthma. Not normal asthma, just exercised induced. Exercise induced, and cold induced and allergy induced. And pollution induced. But, not regular asthma. Exercised induced asthma.
At first, I felt proud of my condition. It was the first time something innate within me was recognized as connected to athletics. "I don't have regular asthma," I'd tell the poor slobs huddled around their inhalers on the playground. "Mine's exercised induced." As if it had been induced by the sheer volume of activity I had taken on, not my bodies inability to process it.
Then I started Nordic skiing and my perspective on breathing changed. First of all, everyone in Nordic skiing seemed to have E.I. asthma (this was in 2005, before the folks at USDA proved that albuterol inhalers do exactly zero for people who don't actually have the condition). Second of all, there was a weird social stigma around breathing really hard in workouts. Like, we love participating in the most challenging sport on the planet, but we want everyone to think that it's…easy.
That's how I perceived it, anyway. Maybe it was because the winter is so quiet. Perhaps the silence of the snow insulated forest juxtaposed against my heaving made its excess all the more clear. Either way, when I joined the sport I became starkly aware of my oxygen intake and began to rebel against my ailment.
This is the phase we call denial. And, for whatever reason (likely my being the spawn of two physicians and biologically coded to rebel against my parents), I have always had the tendency to deny medical treatment. Low iron? Naw, just eat more steak. Sinus infection? Probably allergies. Asthma? I'm just out of shape.
Thus began a years long battle between me and my prescriptions. Some months were good months, I remembered my supplements and inhalers every night, right along with my floss. Others weren't. I considered the medical accouterments to be an insult to my athletic ability. Through it all, something in my training subconscious kept on reminding me not to breath too hard, not to show that weakness.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, during a [capitol, bold] HARD session, my teammate Jessie (my inspiration for all things energy and sparkle) blasted past me in a wave of puffs and exhalations audible from miles away. Those of you who know her, know that she can ski. Chick can also breathe. She exercises with full capacity the in-slow-out-hard method all asthmatics learn about in the pulmonology lab, where the athlete takes in deep, gentle breaths before forcefully whipping them back out to clear her lungs, eliciting a thunderous gust usually accompanied by a wheeze.
Jess, however, pays no mind to the sound. Her focus is on getting her body up (down, around) the hill the fastest, which she does quite well. For the first time in a long time, I stopped holding my breath and went for it. Turns out, cross country skiers build up pretty sizable cardiovascular systems, and things are easier when we use them (you know, oxygen and arteries and all that).
For some of you reading this, those who haven't already clicked out of the window to take a buzz feed quiz or check your Facebook, the last 740 words may seem trivial. "You're a cross country skier," you say, "Of course you breath hard. What's the big deal?" You're right. It should be that simple…it is that simple, if there's any physiological reaction with which Nordic skiers relate, it's respiration.
That's not what I'm getting at.
But why is it, when you attend a beginner's yoga class, nine times out of ten the instructor has to coax the participants into taking part in pranayama (aka snoring breath)? Why, when athletes first try a new skill, or technical speed, do we hold our breath? Why, when we pass coaches on the side of the trail, the people who we should trust to be making us go as fast as we can, do we try to sound quiet?
Because breathing is a measure of comfort. It's the only visceral body function that you can voluntarily regulate, so if you're trying to over or under breathe, it means you're trying to control your body, trying to control your environment, rather than just letting it do its thing. Mindfulness is important, but in athletics, so is letting the dog run.
The challenge is finding the balance between the two, knowing when it's time to take a calm deep breath, and when to surrender control to the body you've trained. As for me, I'm back on my prescriptions and following my coaches' sentiments that "there's no shame in breathing hard."
So, if you're out on the trail and you hear a shameless puffing, rest assured that while all visual physical signs may say otherwise, on some level, I'm comfortable.

About Dr. Linhorst
I was first drawn to a career in health care when I started working as a certified nursing assistant while in high school. The satisfaction I felt by helping people in this position ultimately led me to medical school and to become a physician. I remember seeing my first cesarean section as a medical student. That amazing experience is what put me on the path to obstetrics and gynecology.
I feel very strongly about involving patients in the decisions related to their care. Whether it's discussing preventative steps to maintain optimal health or making decisions about the best course of treatment or surgery, I want my patients to play an active role in understanding and making these decisions
Women's health is a very intimate field, and I think it's important to get to know my patients in order to provide them with excellent care. I spend time talking about things that may not be directly related to their care or symptoms in order to develop a relationship based on trust and respect. Discussions often involve sensitive topics, and I want patients to be able to have an open dialogue with me and share their concerns without worry of judgment.
The field of obstetrics and gynecology is diverse and I enjoy providing women care that spans the range of this specialty. From in-office procedures to minimally invasive gynecological surgery, routine to high-risk obstetrics, contraception to help with fertility, and ultimately the transition into menopause, I am passionate about providing all women with quality care.
Working alongside my colleagues at Mile High is a privilege. We offer a breadth of expertise and experience that spans decades. We truly work as a team and our patients benefit from this collaborative approach. It has also been a privilege to help train future physicians by teaching medical students on their clinical rotations as well as residents at Rose Medical Center.
I believe that providing high quality care means actively engaging my patients in the decision-making process.
Personal Interests
After growing up in Nebraska, Dr. Linhorst moved to Colorado in 2007 and is excited to call Colorado home. She especially enjoys all of the opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and live music. Dr. Linhorst also likes to travel, knit, and read in her spare time.

New and modern strategic management approaches which also consider societal demands still aren't the norm in many corporations. This becomes clear one sees that even technically highly innovative corporations sometimes follow old strategic approaches.
Last month Apple launched the new iPhone 5 to the market. As its precursor, it was assembled in factories like Foxconn in China. Foxconn won notoriety when 13 workers committed suicide because of working conditions. Some improvements were subsequently made but the situation is still far from satisfactory. From the selling price for an iPhone 4 of $ 560, material costs of $ 187 and the assembly in China comes to just $ 7 (according to isuppli and the German ZDF television broadcast "Frontal 21"). Hence, Apple has a gross margin of $ 366 or 65%, respectively per one sold iPhone. Experts have calculated that if the production would be in the USA, the costs would be ten times higher, but the gross margin for Apple would still be about 50%.
This simple calculation reveals that – although being a technically highly innovative company – the strategic approach of Apple is still guided by the old, short-term profit-maximization strategy for owners and managers, at the expense of other stakeholders. According to such a conception of corporate strategy, society (and with it all stakeholders) gets compensated for the risks that result from the corporation's activities by means of dividends for the stockholders. This is, however, a very narrow understanding of compensating society.
A broader and more modern strategic view recognizes that besides the stockholders there are also stakeholders like employees, suppliers, clients, communities having relevant and legitimate stakes in a corporation. The reason is that they all contribute to the value-creating process of a corporation and are likely to also carry risks. This gives them the right to be considered in the distribution of the created value.
In the case of the iPhone, this would mean that workers in the factories in China get compensated more appropriately: not only concerning wages but also concerning conditions at the workplace itself, company sponsored accommodations etc. This would result in a shift away from a short-term financial profit-maximization strategy towards a socially more sustainable strategy, fully acknowledging the stakeholder worker's participation in the value creation chain.
In the long run, it can be assumed that a more appropriate consideration of all relevant stakeholders would lead to a larger and more sustainable value of the corporation (as long as innovation is still provided for): The clients would have no reason to boycott the product because there would be no horrifying pictures in the media following non-compliance with worker rights, no potentially costly juridical process would be menacing, institutional investors had nothing to complain about and the stockholders would have titles with potentially more sustainable values. The figures above show that this would be possible. Lastly it is a question of will and insight of the management to adopt an innovative management approach that considers relevant stakeholders more strongly.

From The Archives
c. 1730 Dutch Colonial
Originally a 1,000 acre land grant from the mid 1600's from Lord Baltimore. Formerly a tobacco plantation. Today, 'Bolton' has been completely restored/updated from roof to foundation and everything in between. Noted historic consultant, Michael Bourne, formerly of the Williamsburg Historic Trust, designed and supervised the entire 3 year project!
The Kitchen
Handmade reclaimed heart pine cabinets throughout. Subzero refrigerator with freezer and refrigerator drawers on both sides of kitchen. Italian granite on island and designer granite on side counters. Microwave drawer, Wolf gas range with pot filler, Wolf oven plus Frigidaire convection oven, hidden spice racks, baking center with fold up mixer stand, reverse osmosis drinking water faucet, and handmade step-back cupboard.
Approximately 375' of sandy beach along the deep waters of the Wicomico River. Only minutes from the Chesapeake Bay! 9.25 acres with a private pond, boat dock with approximately 7' depth at dock and 21' depth in middle of river. Brackish Tidal waters. Located only 20 minutes from downtown Salisbury, Maryland yet hidden outside of the quaint historic village of Whitehaven. Whitehaven features a ferry that has been in operation since the 1600's! The village is listed on the National Historic Trust. 'Bolton' is considered to be part of this lovely village. The 'Whitehaven Hotel' is a popular destination for birdwatchers, boaters, bicyclists, naturalists, and artists.
Living Room/Parlor
'Bolton' features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Fire destroyed the interior of 'Bolton' in 1948, as it did so many other fine historic houses. Rebuilt in 1950, 'Bolton' was a lovely reproduction of a farmhouse style interior. We completely gutted the house and, under the tutaledge of Michael Bourne, historic consultant, the house was brought back to it's circa 1730's former glory! Exceptional cabinet maker's talents were employed as well as the best contractors available.
The Dairy Builidng
Examined by Historic Williamsburg Foundation, the dairy building is one of the oldest on the East Coast. Original. Fantastic.
The Foyer
Handmade front door with reclaimed heart pine and designed by Michael Bourne, historic consultant extraordinaire! Blacksmith made the hinges to replicate 1730's style. 18th century deadbolt. Ball and Ball lock.
