Golden Palace Casino has sponsored Matt Frame, who was a Canadian director, for his attempt at a record-breaking swim whilst handcuffed.
To qualify for the Guinness-registered record, Matt had to make the swim without the benefit of a wetsuit or with any assistance from the boat. He successfully swam the 3.1 nautical miles from Koh Kteah to Seredipity beach in Cambodia and the people from Guinness have officially confirmed the handcuffed swim to be the new record.
Matt Frame made the swim to raise awareness for the Joe Bodia foundation. The charity is named after the character in Matt's latest film. The Joe Bodia foundation is dedicated to raising money for underprivileged Cambodian children.
CasinoRoom $100 bonus
After living in Cambodia for over 19 months, Matt had witnessed first-hand the cycle of poverty and hardship many children are faced with in that part of the world, and decided to do something about it.
Due to the nature of the record, Matt was able to get online casino Golden Palace on board as a major sponsor. Golden Palace Casino is best known for their purchases of random social or religious items of interest like the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich or the Britney Spears Pregnancy Test. Yet a lot of people don't realize that Golden Palace Casino has raised millions for various charities, and are far more likely to get involved if a good cause will benefit from their marketing dollars.
"This is another great chance to help a worthy charity and get some publicity at the same time," said Richard Rowe, CEO of Golden Palace. "Many of the children in Cambodia are living well below the poverty line and we encourage everyone reading this to contribute whatever they can to help. We are honored to have been involved with this event and commend Matt on his amazing, record-breaking swim."

Guide to Live Dealer Online Casino Games
Many people are quite negative towards the online gambling experience. They cannot understand how people gamble online for real money in such a surreal environment. They much prefer the live casino experience where they can see their fate determined by a dealer's turn of a card or spin of a wheel rather than computer software. They also enjoy the human interaction of being able to chat to the dealer and socialize with the other players. The online casino world hasn't been able to offer such an experience in the past, however this is changing with the introduction of Live Dealer Games!
Live Dealer Games are now quite common at online casinos and attempt to bridge the gap between the online Prestige world and the live casino experience. They aim to provide the player with the most realistic casino gambling experience possible – all from the comfort of your own home!
The Live Dealer Games are setup using a web cam which provides a live video and audio feed of the dealer as if they were dealing at a live casino. You take a virtual seat at their table and place bets just like a normal casino but using the software rather than chips. You will then be able to see the outcome live rather than through a random number generator. The dealer will be using a real deck of cards – you can watch them shuffle and deal live!
A wide variety of your favourite casino games are available to play in Live Dealer Games including Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Sic Bo, Caribbean Stud Poker and more.
You can even use the chat facility to interact with the dealer and the other players at the table. The friendly banter adds to the excitement and is a great way to meet new people online. You do not need any special plug-ins or downloads to participate in Live Dealer Games as the software will already be included in the online casino software.
One point worth mentioning is the etiquette involved when playing in Live Dealer Games. You should play online with the same etiquette as you would in a live casino. This means that when it is your turn to act you should be prompt so as to not delay the game for the other players. You should also always be courteous and considerate towards the dealer and other players using the chat facility. Misuse of the Live Dealer chat facilities could see your account suspended.
So if you are a fan of live casinos and enjoy the interaction and excitement of riding the metal ball as it circles your numbers on the roulette wheel, then you should definitely check out the Live Dealer Games to satisfy your desires for a complete live casino experience!
Ed Note: You can find Live Dealer Games at Golden Palace Casino!

All the Blues
In context to the quote mentioned above, we too fully believe that fashion gives you the power to express yourself & defines your individuality!
But a lot amongst us are losing the importance of personal style due to proliferating bloggers & influencers, and how the impact of their style is resulting into a sheep mentality where one chooses to replicate the look instead of adding their own vibe to it.
We too, have our favorites & follow the latest trends but we make sure that the look has our own essence in it. If you have noticed, my looks are more tilted towards Indian fusion or minimalist, and that's what my personal style is!
Coming to this post, where me & Charuta decided to let our style talk about our personality & individuality despite of wearing the exact same jacket. While both of us kept our looks secret until we met for the shoot, the only thing common was different 'shades of blue'!
If I got to define Charuta's look, it was a beautifully vintage inspired attire with flowy elements in it. To know her version of story, CLICK HERE!
Whereas, I decided to bring back the 70s flare by pairing this jacket with a bootcut denim & Lennon glasses. Chose a sleek hairdo & slipped into these Tan cross-over Suedette Mules to maintain the retro-ness of the attire.

Newvelle Records is a relatively new label (started in 2016) devoted to producing top-tier jazz recordings exclusively on 180g translucent blue vinyl, from newly recorded music, and with jazz musicians of the highest caliber. Including beautiful artistic album covers, poetry and stories—these are luxury products.
The founders are jazz pianist and composer Elan Mehler and Parisian business executive Jean-Christophe Morisseau. It is a subscription based model only ($400 per 'Season' (year)), delivering 6 records over a year; one every two months—and the number of pressings of each LP is small, only 1000; no digital versions are made available. Importantly, the business part of the model is a collaboration with the musicians themselves: Newvelle gets ownership for the first two years, and then it is handed over to the musicians to do with whatever they please (including making digital versions if they want). The music is studio recorded at East Side Sound, in New York City and the pressings are made in France. As described on their website, their recording process involves:
...mostly vintage and some tube microphones, all analog and some tube pre-amps and all the inputs are run through and summed through an entirely analog console (a Harrison Series Ten B) that has no ADs or DAs anywhere. We strive to keep our signal chain as short and clean as possible.
The LP in this review is the second in Newvelle's Third Season: Andy Zimmerman, Half Light, made up of a quartet led by Andy Zimmerman (tenor saxophone) from Chicago with supporting New York City musicians pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Matt Penman, and Dave Douglas on trumpet—but no drummer. (Interestingly, although a drummerless quartet, the 9 foot Fazioli piano used by Kevin Hays on this LP is the same one used by drummer/pianist Jack DeJohnette in Newvelle's first Season.) The sleeve has written on its back the second chapter (out of 6), 'Mirages', of a story Le voyage de Zim by French writer Ingrid Astier, about a man named Zim Zam who while continuing on a spiritual dream-like journey travels in Thailand (searching for luck?). There certainly is an unusual and pleasant dream-like quality to many of the tracks.
The recording engineer on the LP is Marc Urselli, and the mastering engineer is Alex Deturk; Newvelle is in good hands on that front. Mehler as a musician/composer himself and having been close with Zimmerman since college, played a more active role in the assembly/makeup of this quartet, and the production of the record. In fact Mehler and Zimmerman played together on the 2007 LP, Scheme for Thought, Brownswood Recordings. This is a well thought out ensemble—and it works effortlessly.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mehler, Urselli and Deterk at an intimate DeVore Fidelity Monkeyhaus event in March 2018 and wrote an Audiophilia article about the event.
I also met there a variety of the musicians who collaborate with Newvelle Records; Mehler even played (among other test recordings) one piece from Half Light. When Mehler contacted me recently with an offer to review the Half Light LP, I was happy to accept. Soon after, a box arrived from France.
Of the 11 pieces on the LP, 7 are composed by Zimmerman, and then one each by Hermeto Pascoal (Montreux), Elan Mehler (Lena's Dance), Duke Ellington (Sunset and the Mocking- bird), and George Gershwin (Bess You Is My Woman Now). The pieces are relatively short, the longest only 5:18, the shortest 2:14. Interestingly the longest one is the one composed by Duke Ellington and on Ellington's own verson the length is about 3:20; Zimmerman slows it down and does a fascinating job of replacing some of Ellington's piano with the sax. As a whole, one senses jazz throughout this LP but with a soft, modern, classical twist, the piano in particular working with the sax to that end; check out for example The Bay Area and Two Sapphires, tracks 5 and 6 on side A, two of my favorites.
Overall, the recording displays impeccable natural acoustic sound, and the pieces and musicianship beautifully bring out the unique style of Zimmerman's saxophone playing: intimate, meditative, gentle, soothing, reflective and casual; no squealing, wailing or harshness–more like Lester Young than (say) Ben Webster. One can understand why there is no drummer; at most I could envision adding in some very delicate cymbal work, and perhaps a light dash of brushes on a snare—no more.
Peaceful and relaxing, this LP will impress and charm even the non-jazz aficionado. If you can afford it, get it; if you can't afford it then I hope you can find a venue where you can at least hear it played. Highly recommended.

We had a chat with StoneDaze. Here is the interview that will let you know them better.
Welcome to Downtuned. Tell us a few words about the group, when and where did you get started? How did you meet?
Welcome to Downtuned. Tell us a few words about the group, when and where did you get started? How did you meet?
We started jammin' in 2009 first me (Greg/guitar) and Dimitris (Drums) , we knew each other from previous projects then Alex (Vocals) came to the band and gradually we started to look like a band. Then our ex bassist Ozmo came to the band and we released a promo cd in 2012. Later, Ozmo left the band and our new bassist is Andrew we're very glad to have him in the group. Now we're in the studio finishing our debut album.
Which are your musical influences?
Kyuss , Wolfmother , QOTSA , Down , Led Zeppelin , Lynyrd Skynyrd and generally 70's bands.
What's your lyrics about? What catches your interest?
The lyrics are mainly about our experiences , about the society and the problems that we face every day.
Is the communication with the crowd something that you care about, in all levels, or do you do music for yourselves?
We care a lot about the crowd and it's something amazing to interact with the crowd but we do music mainly for ourselves. If we do music that we don't like it 100% we'll never put it out.
Do you feel like you're a part of a particular "scene" in which you would like to join and contribute or you are indifferent about it?
We think that we're a part of the greek heavy / stoner scene, we think that the scene is getting bigger and bigger every day. We have great bands like Planet of Zeus , Potergeist , 1000Mods , Nightstalker that made huge steps and made the scene known worldwide and we have magnificent new bands that can produce really good music.
How do you imagine that the band will be in ten years from now?
With a couple of records and some touring experience.
Which famous artist you would like to do a guest to a record of yours and why?
We think that Josh Homme would be this artist. We think he's an influential figure for the scene and for us as a band. Also, his musicianship and his incredible music taste would every song to a masterpiece.
What plans do you have for the near future?
This period we're finishing the recordings for our debut album that will be released this year and also we'll schedule some live acts beginning this Sunday 1/2 @ After dark music bar with our brothers Jaw breaker really great band.
We wish you good luck to whatever you're doing, the epilogue is yours.
Keep on listening to and supporting the greek bands and we're looking forward to see you in our gigs!

Coffman Racing Kicks Off 2017 With 6th Place Finish at Formula Drift Long Beach.
After finishing the 2016 Formula D season in the Top 16, the team set the bar high for 2017. The off season gave us the opportunity to completely tear down and re-prepare the car for this season. With a new livery, a new partnership with Nexen Tire, and a new team mate, Alec Hohnadell, the team worked non stop to ensure that everything would be in order for the first event. After some preseason testing at Willow Springs, the team arrived in Long Beach. Thursday the team passed tech inspection and applied the finishing touches to the new livery.
Long Beach is different from the other rounds of Formula Drift being that the driving doesn't begin until Friday. Without Thursday practice, the drivers only get a short period of practice on Friday morning before qualifying begins on Friday afternoon. However this posed no problems for Matt as he showcased his impressive driving skills for the judges during qualifying. The judges awarded Matt a score of 90, which meant he would qualify 6th overall for the main event on Saturday.
Friday the team was visited by Oxnard Police Department's DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti) Team, a local youth out reach program that targets at risk youth and teaches them valuable auto mechanic skills as well as provides career guidance. Matt had the honor of playing the bad guy and driving a Coyote Powered E36 Drift Car in the DRAGG Teams recent Viral promotional film Driftsuit which has accrued over 500,000 views since it's launch in February. After getting to experience DRAGG's program first hand, it was awesome to be able to share the race team with the students, and let them experience Formula Drift.
Saturday the team was well prepared for Top 32. Matt would be driving against Formula Drift rookie "Rad Dan" Burkett. Matt and Dan chatted briefly before their battle in the Top 32. Dan apologized ahead of time and told Matt that he may get really close to him in tandem competition. Matt told Dan "Just don't hit my checkers" referring to the black chrome vinyl checkerboard patterns that Matt had painstakingly hand applied to the over fenders on his car prior to the event. Matt was first to lead, and Dan came sliding into Matt in the first corner. Dan avoided hitting Matt's checkerboards, but aggressively smashed in Matt's Seibon Carbon fiber passenger door. The team was given a moment to briefly check to make sure that the damages to the car were only cosmetic. Once the car was verified to be mechanically sound and safe, Matt went on to defeat Dan in their Top 32 Battle.
The team made some quick repairs to the car after Top 32, and the car went out on display for the Top 16 Driver intro. Matt was the last to exit after the driver intros and per Formula Drift's request Matt put on a show for the fans as he exited, doing a massive burnout that stretched the entire grand stand. The burnout was a fan favorite, and was widely popular and talked about during the event and on social media.
Our next battle in Top 16 was against Matt Field. Matt Field and Matt Coffman are good friends, being that they have worked along side each other as judges for Golden Gate Drift. Both drivers have incredible skill and style. This made for a captivating battle as the two drivers laid down their best runs. Once the smoke cleared and the judges spoke, Matt Coffman was awarded the win.
The team moved on into the Top 8 where we were up against our former trailer mate Ryan Tuerck. Matt gave chase on the first run, and wound up going faster than Ryan through the deceleration zone and bumped into Ryan in the hair pin. Both teams quickly checked their cars for damage and then returned to the start line. With Matt in the lead this time, Ryan gave a very conservative chase, but being that Ryan made no contact with Matt, Ryan was awarded the win. This was the end of our weekend at Long Beach, but our 6th place finish is just the beginning of whats to come for 2017.
The team currently is ranked #6 in the Formula D series standings, and will next compete at Round Two of Formula D on April 28th in Orlando, Florida. Between Formula Drift events the Coffman Racing team will be competing in the Oregon Trail Rally just outside of Portland, Oregon, on April 21st in our Super Production Subaru STI Rally Car.

Launching your career abroad is easier than it sounds. Instead of spending hours slogging away at job applications, recent college grads can earn real-world work experience in a foreign country with an internship abroad. Not only does an international internship allow a young person to gain professional work experience in their field, but it also gives them the chance to take a year to grow and live in a new country and culture. An internship abroad will teach a young professional about their future career and shape them with international experience that will give them a lifelong multicultural perspective.
Hong Kong is considered the gateway to China and other Asian markets. Companies around the world are keeping their eye on opportunities in Asia, particularly in China due to its recent economic boom. Having worked in Kong Kong will give an up-and-coming professional valuable insight into Asian markets that will likely be of interest to a potential employer. Having an insider's understanding of regional markets in Asia Pacific will also make a young professional an asset to a company that is looking for business growth opportunities in the region and could lead to a promotion or salary increase.
Some of The Intern Group's best internship opportunities are located in Hong Kong. Up-and-coming human resources professionals have benefited from amazing international roles at Hong Kong's top firms. Meanwhile, journalism and media interns have had the opportunity to learn about Chinese media through hands-on, professional roles at local outlets. To see all the industries The Intern Group Hong Kong program offers click here.
During her international relations internship in Hong Kong, Shivali had the opportunity to work with TedEx Hong Kong and was even offered a job. "More people really need to live my HK life for a good number of months – it opens eyes, unblocks ears, adds an element of surprise at every angle," Shivali said.
Employers working with The Intern Group pay attention to their interns' quality of work and are passionate about the professional development of their interns. "These guys have been absolutely brilliant, we've given them all sorts of different tasks. It's really a two way process because we've taken as much energy as we possibly can out of these young people and in exchange we've given them knowledge and different ways of thinking," said Anson Investment Management Director Pedro Robert in regards to finance interns Mafalda and Luke.
Living in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an exciting place to live as a young person. The city is full of people from many cultural backgrounds and stays moving 24/7. With over 1,000 skyscrapers painted across the city's skyline, Hong Kong is known for its urban beauty. Interns in Hong Kong can appreciate this beauty while living in some of the city's safest areas in shared apartment accommodations on either Hong Kong Island or Kowloon.
Pick up a foreign language
Why not learn a foreign language during your first year out of school? Learning either Mandarin or Cantonese will give young professional a huge advantage while looking for a job, considering China's increasing global importance. Interns who wish to learn either of the local languages are able to take classes through The Intern Group and practice at work and on the streets.
Urban jungle
Sanctuaries to the financial world, Hong Kong's skyscrapers define the city's skyline. One of the city's most celebrated steel giants is The Center, Hong Kong's fifth-highest skyscraper. The building is among 40 structures that take part in a nightly light show called "Symphony of lights" beside the Victoria Harbour. The Guinness World Records has dubbed the spectacular lights and music presentation "World's Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show".
Explore China
Interns in Hong Kong will be based in close proximity to dozens of day trip and tourist destinations around China. Close by, interns can explore the numerous national parks that make up some 40% of Hong Kong territory. Registering the territory's coldest weater, Tai Mo Shan Country Park is a popular spot to cool down during summer months. The park also is home to Hong Kong's highest waterfall "Long Falls". Meanwhile, at the nearby Kam Shan Country Park interns can check out macaques and other primates.
The Intern Group program includes a tour of Hong Kong's largest island, Lantau. The mountainous island is based at the mouth of the Pearl River and is home to another one of Hong Kong territory's famous parks, Lantau South Country Park. Lantau Island also is home to the famous Tian Tan Buddha, an 85-foot bronze Buddha statue.
Another trip included in the Intern Group program is a visit to Macau, or "the vegas of Asia". The city is famous for its extravagant casinos as well as its blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture. Formerly a Portuguese colony, Macau is now in Chinese control and maintains both Portuguese and Chinese traditions. Interns can't leave without trying out the city's spicy and delicious Macanese food.
Hong Kong's glittering nightlife
Interns in Hong Kong will never get bored with the city's endless music venues, restaurants, bars, clubs and theatres. Some of the city's most unique entertainment spots include the singalong parlor Canton Singing House and the highest bar in Asia, Ozone. Live music venues like Fringe Club, Peel Fresco and Hidden Agenda are great spots to enjoy music and an exciting ambiance.

Yes, this American Apparel cardigan feels – and kind of looks – like a bathrobe.
That's the point; it's like being wrapped up in a big, cozy blanket. But my husband doesn't get it…he thinks it's totally unflattering because it doesn't show off my shape.
I, on the other hand, feel that the bare neckline, knee-high boots, and delicate pearl and silver jewellery perfectly balance out the oversize drape of the sweater. And to give this relatively minimalist look a bit of punch, I've added this Denim&Supply Ralph Lauren fedora. Love!!

Kaweh Modiri
22.03.14 – 09.04.14
Peter Amby Gallery
Opening Saturday, March 22nd 2014, 2-4
It is a great honor for us to present our first exhibition with the Dutch/Iranian video-artist and film-maker, Kaweh Modiri. The exhibition will present two of his latest works, 'Bodkin Ras' and 'My Burglar and I'.
The people in Forres don't work. Between ten and five they dissolve into the mist, after which they head like wrinkled shadows towards the pubs, where the light always shines as a warm glow in their midst.
The story takes place in a small town on the north coast of Scotland. This is where Red James and Lily, the initial protagonists of the documentary, live. Lily is an eighteen-year-old girl. With her parents she moved from London to this far corner of Europe. She doesn't identify with the rough way of life in this place and dreams of the day she can move away.
Then the fictional character Bodkin Ras, a stranger, arrives in Forres. He came to this remote corner of Europe to hide and lay low. This turns out to be impossible in a little town where rumors spread faster than the plague. People watch him vigilantly.
Kaweh Modiri's films contain actions accompanied by a literary narrative. The written script is partly developed during the working process, thus enabling an interaction between coincidence and authorship, control and irreversibility. Themes like privacy, morality and cultural identity are pivotal to his work.
After researching on shooting material for Bodkin Ras over a period of 2 years, he decided to turn it in to a feature film. The scenes are only directed to a certain extent. The feature film is expected to release at the end of 2014.
His graduation film "My burglar and I" is a true story about an artist who stalks his burglar over a period of a year and proclaims him to be the protagonist of his new film. The film premièred during the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011 and was awarded the René Coelho Award from the Dutch Institute for Media Art.
In April 2012 he published his debut novel "Mr. Sadek and Others" at publishing house Thomas Rap. The novel was nominated on the for the Academica Literature Award. Currently he is in the post-production stage of his feature film "Bodkin Ras" which is set for a release end 2014. In 2015 his second novel "Mitra" is expected.
Kaweh Modiri (b. 1982) is a Dutch filmmaker and writer of Iranian descent. In 2010 he graduated from the Image & Language Department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

Welcome to the SciArt Index by Symbiartic!
Of the most frequently asked questions Glendon, Kalliopi, and Katie receive, "where can I find science artists?" has to be near the top of the list. So we're making a list! Or rather, the SciArt Index.
This will be an ongoing project made possible by donations. We'll be announcing where you may donate soon.
- If you're looking artists who specialize in a particular branch of science, check here.
- If you're looking for sciart in a particular art genre or medium, check here.
We have over 700 artists listed on Twitter - we're trying to add as many as we can, with their basic public contact info: website, Twitter, Instagram, and online store. This isn't a portfolio site, (though we may consider adding artists' images in the future), but it's supposed to be like an old school dead tree phone book.
If you're an artist who would like to be listed, let us know and we'll try to add you as quickly as we can. Just remember, we're doing this for free (+ hopefully donations!), and we'll do out best to be speedy. Any complaints, send 'em to Glendon. Please email the following info in the format seen below to symbiartic.team on gmail, with the subject line SciArt Index.

The categories will help us to tag your listing and aid people in searches. Please follow the format as above (name, site, Twitter, Instagram, shop, plus 2 art genres and 2 scientific disciplines) so that your entry can be quickly pasted into the directory. The faster they can be added, the more useful the directory will become to editors, curators, bloggers, and journalists.
*If we have listed you and you would like to be removed, of course we will do that too.
*If you run a group blog, studio, or organization website, we would be happy to include you in the index as well.
If you find the index useful, please let us know!

|I found my first retreat online by googling breast cancer and yoga weeks after my diagnosis. I attended my first retreat in July 2011 just 4 weeks after my surgery and it has forever changed my life in so many ways. Mohonk was my third retreat and I have already made strong bonds with women in this amazing community. I am touched by each person's story and inspired to be stronger and continue my path of healing. Mohonk was extra special because it allowed me to spend time with my family in NY before and after the retreat on a very difficult weekend. It would have been my brother's 46th birthday but he passed 4 years ago Sept. 14th. I have also been wanting to visit my 94 year old grandmother who has not been well and she lives just over an hour from the retreat. September is also the time for my 6 month follow-up visits with doctors and tests (1 1/2 years since cancer) and having this retreat to look forward to kept me sane in a very challenging month. Mohonk is a magical place and everyone who worked on the retreat was so incredible. I felt loved, nurtured and cared for throughout and especially in the yoga sessions. Each retreat I reminded how healing yoga is and continue to feel empowered knowing that I can be an active participant in my healing process. I am also a yoga teacher and was so inspired by Tari after my first retreat that I enrolled in her training. I received the gift of being asked to assist on my second retreat and look forward to continuing to assist on future retreats. I can't thank Tari, Amie, Denise, Sadara and the entire staff enough for what I receive at each retreat.- Sharon, California
Since my diagnosis I've felt displaced and detached from my family, friends and colleagues. For the first time I felt normal among a community of women who understood my experience – past, present and future. Learning yoga postures – which I can do despite difficulty raising arm from surgery and radiation -, as well breathing and meditation techniques, I now have tools to gain physical and emotional strength. I am no longer a cancer patient but instead a warrior ready for a lifetime of fighting to live, laugh, love and be present. Thank you to Tari, Denise and the Retreat Project Team!
-Mitchelle, New Jersey
Y4C has helped me in many ways. The retreat was an extension of the profound ways that this program has changed my perspective on life. The retreat itself boosted my confidence in terms of my physical abilities. I look foreward to the yoga teacher training and then the Y4C training so that I can bring this gift to other people who have been afflicted with this disease.

In a handful of instances the lab has been called upon to review a pilot that's already running. The teams have wanted to make sure that when the pilots officially end we can say "Yes!" its worked or "No!" it has completely crashed and burned...
Very quickly we learned to involve Carole, Alun and Rich (Bromford's strategic research team) when it came to evidencing pilot success or failure - because they're boss at it. Play to your strengths and everything...
By working together so closely we ended up co-developing the new 'pilot pipeline' to ensure everything we roll out has clear aims, objectives and measures of success in advance. We're even able to test the measurements out in advance to make sure they work like they're intended to. All in the name of collecting good, robust data.
Kindly, Alun Morris has volunteered to explain the importance of good data in this weeks lab blog - Why Good Data Matters....
By Alun morris
A true story. Some names have been changed.
I put down the phone, smiling, and wait for someone to ask me about the call I've just taken. No-one does, so after a moment I suck air in through my teeth and chuckle loudly.
"Well well well."
Still nothing.
"That's interesting. Didn't see that coming. Well, I suppose it's only to be expected of course."
Moira looks up from her work.
"Sorry, were you talking to me?" she asks.
I pretend to have misunderstood the question.
"Oh, it was the just the Innovations Lab. They need someone to write a blog on dating, and they thought of me."
"Why would anyone want you to write a blog about dating?"
I pause; I had briefly wondered about this during the course of the phone call, but had decided not to think too hard about it.
"Well", I say, "I suppose because I'm, y'know… why wouldn't they want me to write a blog about dating?"
"Because you're single and haven't been on a date since October".
"Well that's true, but I fail to see how it's relevant."
Moira fixes me with a look somewhere between pity and exasperation that makes me feel I might not be convincing her.
I pick up my notepad. "She specifically asked me to write a guest blog called – " and at this point I turn the notepad round so she can see what I'd scrawled on it – "Why good dating matters".
"Do you think there's any chance you misheard, and you're supposed to be writing a blog called Why Good Data Matters"?
"Oh god no, who'd want to read that?"
Why good data matters
Here's the classic "Relative Trains" puzzle, first published in "Finnemore's Gazette of New Mathematical Diversions " in June 1922.
Train A leaves Stourbridge heading towards London at 09:00 on Monday morning, travelling at a consistent speed of 30 mph. Train B leaves Wolverhampton heading towards London at 09:45 on Monday morning travelling at a steady speed of 45mph. London is 10% closer to Stourbridge than Wolverhampton. Which arrives first?
If you answered, "Train A", you're wrong. Train A will never get there. There are no direct trains from Stourbridge to London, you have to change in Birmingham.
If you answered "Train B", you're wrong. Train B doesn't exist.
If you answered "both trains will arrive at the same time" then you're wrong on all levels.
The correct answer was Train C, which as Finnemore puts it:
"[T]ravels at an infinite speed, and therefore occupies all points in the universe simultaneously".
So, what does this have to do with data? Well I was going to use Finnemore's puzzle as a metaphor for what happens under the Bromford Deal, and show how the trains are like the members of the Deal household.
Finding out that Train A is headed towards London but will never get there is like finding out that an unemployed household member who we've told to join the work club in order to improve their employment prospects is currently out of work, but if we had their date of birth it would reveal that they're only 6 weeks old.
Finding out that train B doesn't exist is like finding out that the customer to whom we're currently addressing all correspondence doesn't exist, and only appears to exist because someone passed out on their keyboard and accidentally created a new entry in contact database.
Train C represents all those customers who are living in our homes without our knowledge – not as squatters, but just as missing household data (for example, one or more of train A's parents are probably living in the household too). That would have been the metaphor, but I haven't really got the hang of metaphors yet, so there it is. More of a simile I suppose.
Those of you who remember welfare reform can probably see how the above instances of incomplete, incorrect and missing data might cause problems.
For example when we were calculating the likely impact of The Bedroom Tax we needed to know the age, gender and relationship of all the trains in our properties. We didn't have much of the data we needed, meaning that our initial estimates… actually our initial estimates were pretty good, even though I used a random number generator to come up with them. So that's a bad example. However, due to a weird statistical fluke, the underoccupation data we got back from the first few local authorities to share their information with us showed that for those particular LA's our estimates were a long way out, and we were underestimating the problem by about 33%. So at that point we had to draw up a worst case scenario in which our estimates for all other LA's were also out by 33%. And let me tell you, when your figures for the potential rental income risk from welfare reform are based on the results of a random number generator plus 33%, they make for pretty scary reading.
So, what does all this mean for you? In your day to day job, how does it impact on the business if you don't collect accurate data? I don't know, that depends on who you are what your job is. I'm pretty sure that if we were having this conversation one-to-one I'd be able to come up with some pretty good examples of the importance of good data entry that apply specifically to your role.
I stand waiting for the door to the Innovations offices to open. My pass doesn't work on the 5th Floor at Exchange; I've heard rumours that no-one's pass works here; that there always has to be at least one colleague inside to let people in. Personally I think this is rubbish, and subscribe to the theory that whichever member of the Innovations Lab arrives first each morning has to scale the outside of the building and force a window open.
After a minute or so a hatch slides back, revealing a letterbox sized hole in the door at around eye height. It's filled by a face I don't recognise.
"What do you want?" asks the face.
From inside the office I hear what sounds like [REDACTED], accompanied by a peel of maniacal laughter. I'm pretty sure I also hear someone say [REDACTED].
"What was that?"
"Nothing. Go away."
"I… I have a blog? I was going to email it but I was told you've gone 'off grid' ?"
"Give it here!"
I reach up to hand the sheet of A4 through the gap. As my hand reaches the letterbox the face sticks its own hand out, grabbing my wrist.
"Give it here, give it here." My arm is pulled through along with the paper.
"Go away! Go away! Shoo.".
It lets go of me, and I retract my arm hurriedly. The hatch is quickly closed. I breathe a sigh of relief and head back down to relative the safety of the basement, pretending not to notice the bitemarks on my fingers.

September 10 – October 8, 2005
Reception Saturday September 10th 5-8pm.
Western Project is proud to present a new body of work by New York photographer, Arne Svenson. The Portraits are large format silver gelatin prints of forensic facial reconstruction sculptures by Frank Bender of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Gloria Nusse of Mill Valley, California. Originally, these sculptures were commissioned by law enforcement agencies to determine the identity of victims involved in violent crimes. Svenson has continued the themes in his work – the reconstruction of identities – this time with a walloping emotional tone. The artist spent three years researching, photographing, and re-photographing the sculptures to achieve a set of empathetic images.
The sculptures themselves are constructed with bone, clay, fiberglass, statistical averages and the intuition of the forensic artist, into a likeness of the unidentified subjects. What Svenson has photographed are images of the forgotten. The photographs are an homage to the unidentifiable – from the mass graves of Juarez, Mexico to hometown USA neighborhoods. These pictures speak of lost members of our families, communities and culture. They question the nature of violence and aggression in contemporary society while portraying the willful human spirit. Though seemingly anonymous, each picture provokes memories; perhaps friends or relatives, implying a connection, primal or genetic, of the extended human family.
Svenson's body of work includes the books, Prisoners, published in 1997, Sock Monkeys (200 out of 1,863), published in 2003, and the newly released Mrs. Ballard's Parrots, as well as photos from the Mutter Museum of Pathology, and Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the recipient of the 2005 James D. Phelan Art Award in Photography.

Sunday we will continue with week 8 of The Gospel Centered Life, as Pastor Boyd preaches on Forgiveness. The text we will be looking at is Matthew 18:21-35. Pastor Boyd is going to share how forgiveness is the difference -- Once you see these two realities come crashing together: the God you sinned against and the extent of His forgiveness, you see the ability to obey and love God because He forgives you when you hurt Him the most.
The Mighty Hand Of God - Citizens and Saints
Amazing Grace - Citizens and Saints
Christ is Risen- Ghost Ship
This song is a straight forward Gospel proclamation and celebration that Jesus died, rose, is seated on the throne, and is coming again. We can sing in celebration for what Jesus has done for us and is continuing to do for us! (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 1 Corinthians 15:55). We will be singing it every week leading to Easter Sunday!
Jesus I Come - Elevation Worship
But God - The Village Church
Sunday, we'll have a one time offering as a church to help purchase the equipment we'll need to relocate to Lee High School. Your generosity is going to be used for the following:
$15,000 District Kids Improvements
$15,000 Audio and Visual Upgrades
$10,000 Portable Church Equipment
We are so thankful for the generosity of many who support The District Church and believe that your generosity is going to help us make disciples that will make disciples!

I'm excited to share my love and passion for photography with you! I have a big WHY for my photography that I would love to share. I have been doing photography for about 9 years now. I first picked up a camera when my husband was deployed to Iraq for a year and a half and I was pregnant with our first baby. I wanted to be able to document all our babies moments for him while he was away. He wouldn't be home until she was a year old. I didn't know much about photography, I kept everything on auto, and I was happy when I made a nice photo, but mostly I only cared about being able to capture all the moments I could. When my husband came home I shared with him that I thought I might enjoy photography, being able to capture special moments for others. He said he thought if I was really serious about it I should go to school for it and really learn all I could about it. At the time I was going to school in Political Science and was thinking about being a lawyer, this decision was a big career switch for me. I thought maybe I would just go to a few classes just to learn what I needed to to be able to work my camera well, and after my first class I was hooked. I had some amazing teachers & mentors who guided me and supported me along the way.
I am a big believer in keeping a journal and documenting all the moments I can, too often a moment passes by so quickly and it's gone, and all we have left is what we recorded about it-the photos we captured. When my father died 8 years ago, I became even more passionate about recording memories, the lack of photos I have with him makes me wish I had known the importance of documenting all the moments I can. Life is swift and goes quickly. When our loved ones are gone, they are all we have to look back on and remember them by.
I had an opportunity to work at Icon health and Fitness for almost 4 years and this is where my love for commercial photography came into play. I loved seeing how lighting created an image. I loved working on big productions. I learned from some very talented photographers and videographers all about running a commercial shoot and what to look for. I love seeing a product come together from start to finish and working with a team. I had the opportunity to travel and learn all aspects of the commercial industry.
Now I am a freelance photographer and have loved making my own hours and working on different projects, from marketing images for Intermountain Healthcare, USU distance Education, Law firms, Doctors in your community, various magazines, and working on personal interest projects like dancers in nature. I also love getting to know the families I get the opportunity to photograph and the brides and grooms I absolutely fall in love with.
Life has been a fun roller coaster of experience for me the past few years and I hope you will be a part of my adventure this next year!

When I started college in San Francisco, I was so excited about living on my own. I lived in a dorm named the "Coco Chanel Residence Hall." (I thought the name was very fitting seeing as she is one of my favorite inspirations.) I couldn't wait to decorate my new little home away from home. But when I arrived at my new dorm, my roommate had decorated most of the place. While it was sweet of her to go ahead and do the decor, I never really got the chance to customize my dorm room. I did put a large photo of the beach on the ceiling above my bed to remind me of home and added some curtains for a little privacy. Sadly all of my great decorative expectations and dorm decor ideas were quickly put on the backburner. While I didn't exactly get to execute my dreams of dorm decor, I figured I might as well share them with you since I know many of you are headed off to school…
Below, I've put together a few simple ways to overhaul your dorm space in a snap. These tips will help you get organized, feeling comfortable and loving your new little nook in no time.
- Get crafty with curtains. When most people think of curtains, they automatically picture them hanging above a window or a shower. But in a dorm room, they can give you privacy while you sleep or hide the contents of an unkempt closet while maximizing space.
- Inspire your walls. Your dorm room desk is an easy place to pile papers, homework, photos, and junk. Before you know it, you'll be swimming through a sea of clutter. No thank you. Why not hang all of these important papers and pictures on a cute corkboard above your desk? It's a nice way display your inspirations and keep your workstation mess free.
- Unexpected organization. You'd be surprised to find how many ordinary areas in a room make for great organizational opportunities. I like using clear organization items like makeup trays and mason jars to categorize my things. That way, I can grab what I need in just one glimpse.
- Shed some light in your space. A unique lamp can make all the difference in a dorm room. Find a light you love and place it on your bedside table or desk to add a touch of personal charm to your new room. (You might also want to give the lampshade an adorable bow detail… Click here to find out how.)
- Smart storage is key. When you're living in a small space, it's crucial that you utilize each nook and cranny for storing your items. Being smart about your storage will not only make it easier for you to find things on the go, it will also maximize your space. Try using an over-the-door organizer for shoes and jewelry, or store your winter boots and coats in bins under your bed.
What tips and tricks do you have for decorating a small space? Upload photos of your dorm décor to the Gallery for a chance to see your room in an upcoming post!

Deerfield Magazine Winter 2011
The Winter 2011 Deerfield Magazine features stories about the discoveries going on in Dennis Cullinane's science class and Tom Ashley's letters. A PDF version of the Winter 2011 Deerfield Magazine is available for download.
Magazine Features:
- Load Distributors: "One morning a couple years ago, working quietly in the lab, Mia Hecht '09 was dissecting a crab. She was hoping to find a clue to how non-vertebrates, such as arthropods, manage to lubricate their joints—a question that had always intrigued their instructor, Dennis Cullinane. Mia carefully popped open the exoskeleton of her crab and saw something she hadn't seen before. And she couldn't find it in her research materials, either. What's this? she asked, turning to her teacher. Cullinane took a look. And thought, Oh, my…!"
- As Ever, Tom Ashley: "It is an unlikely story with an unusual beginning. When first noticed by Mr. Boyden, Tom Ashley was having too much fun to go to school. Swimming as early and often in the season as possible, fishing, hunting, and tending to chores, he was an awkward, reticent Old Deerfield farmboy who had an indifferent attitude toward education. Mr. Boyden detected something more in Tom's character: honesty, loyalty, enthusiasm, resilience, and reliability."
Also read more about Tom Ashley: in these articles from past issues "Thomas Williams Ashley" (1962) and "The Value of a Legend" (1990).

Last Friday night Carbon Arc screened the darkly charming foreign language Oscar nominee, A Man Called Ove. Written and directed by Hannes Holmes, and based on the novel by the same name, this Swedish drama tells the story of a widowed man who only wants to join his wife in death. Ove visits the grave of his dead wife regularly and promises he'll be with her soon. Sounds depressing, right? The only problem is that Ove is just not very good at dying. Apparently, if there's one thing Ove cares about more than dying, it's cars driving on a no-cars-permitted pathway. So, Ove must interrupt his many suicide attempts to deal with his tedious day-to-day tasks of yelling at cars and begrudgingly lending ladders to neighbors. Ove is the ex-chairman of a board for the neighborhood association, a title he had self-imposed for a job he invented, and continues to take gravely (get it?). Essentially, Ove is the bitter 59 year-old equivalent of your middle-school hall monitor.
Through his failed attempts at killing himself, and his growing friendship with a new neighbor and her family, we learn about Ove's past: the tragic death of his mother, the fraught relationship with his father, and the love he has for his wife Sonja. The film jumps between flashbacks of Ove's past as he narrates his life to his new neighbor and his present trial and tribulations. In this bleak story are moments of joy and laughter, of friendship and of love. Ove is the surprisingly sweet Grinch who's heart, we learn literally and ironically, is just too big.

If you've ever had the pleasure of watching any of Cape Breton director Ashley McKenzie's work, you know how well she creates storylines that focus on trying and seemingly hopeless situations. What she does even better though, is she creates truthful characters who have a strong sense of independence, never letting them fully succumb to their surroundings. The greatest example of this with her short films being Stray (2013), but this all has been perfected with her phenomenal first feature Werewolf that we screened this past Friday evening along with a Q&A afterwards with Ashley.
Werewolf follows the often overlooked stage of addiction, recovery, and as senior programmer Zack Miller pointed out in his review of the film during the Atlantic Film Festival, the unique framing helps to humanize these people for the audience rather than making them out to be monsters. The film centres on the lives of Blaze and Nessa, two recovering addicts who both in their own ways find themselves stuck.
Blaze is too proud to let anybody tell him how to be, and takes it upon himself to lash out at anybody with an ounce of authority, automatically assuming that they're looking down on him. We see many telling moments illustrating his selfish nature, his only moment of remorse being his reaction to his rash decision to destroy the couple's only source of income, their lawnmower. It comes at point when hardship upon hardship has fallen on the couple and he breaks, berating himself afterwards which doesn't necessarily feel as though he's upset for anybody but himself. As independent as Blaze is though, and whether he cares to admit it, he relies heavily on Nessa.
Contrasting Blaze's type of independence is Nessa and her quiet kindness and sense of responsibility that keeps her behind in her journey of recovery. She's the stronger of the two, consistently being the one to work and is the sole reason that the couple are still afloat. As Nessa is confronted by her nurse after having her at-home doses being revoked due to Blaze stealing them, it becomes extremely clear how unfair it is to ask this girl to give up on the one person who understands her struggle and she loves. At the same time, it's also clear that she's being unfair to herself by letting him hold her down. Watching her leave Blaze the first time when she kicks him out of her mother's house was empowering. Watching her leave him after he is released from hospital was even more satisfying, finally she's free to explore the life ahead of her.
Werewolf was an incredible first feature, and feature film period, and its success worldwide is no surprise to anybody who has seen it.

Wisconsin Progressive Giant Ed Garvey's Vital Message
Wisconsin Progressive Giant Ed Garvey's Vital Message
By Roger Bybee | Mar 02, 2017
When Wisconsin progressive Ed Garvey succumbed to a long illness February 22 at age 76, Senator Bernie Sanders hailed him as "one of the smartest, funniest, and most decent people I have ever known."
It was a fitting tribute to the humanity of Garvey, whose passion for economic democracy and social justice had made him deeply beloved in his home state.
That Sanders delivered it was also fitting. In both electoral and issue campaigns, Garvey had pioneered a sharp-edged message about mounting inequality and shrinking democratic space that had cultivated the ground for Sanders's Wisconsin primary win. Garvey spoke directly to Wisconsin's unusually harsh inequities, and job losses caused by globalization. Sanders sounded similar populist themes in his 57–43 percent primary victory over Hillary Clinton, in which he carried 71 of 72 counties. Clinton went on to lose the state on Election Day, by just 23,000 votes.
Garvey blended generosity of spirit with a remarkable strategic audacity and fearlessness, overcoming seemingly insuperable odds in countless battles. Above all, Garvey was a masterful communicator—an old-fashioned, spellbinding orator and a sophisticated modern-media strategist who saw the importance of teaching working people how to speak about their pain and aspirations to the broadest possible audiences.
Having worked alongside Garvey for more than three decades, I regard the annual "Fighting Bob" festival as the capstone of Garvey's lifelong efforts to build working people's capacity to develop and deliver a powerful diagnosis of society's ills, and to offer a compelling alternative vision. The festival, which originated in 2001 with Garvey a central founder, is named after the firebrand progressive Robert La Follette Sr., Wisconsin's governor a century ago. "Fighting Bob" became a central point of mobilization, where Garvey spread his communications philosophy to thousands of grassroots activists drawn from across the Badger State. Over the years, the festival has attracted many of the nation's most thoughtful progressives, including Sanders, Jim Hightower, Jesse Jackson, Wisconsin Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, among numerous others.
Many "Fighting Bob" attendees became active because of Garvey, who indefatigably crisscrossed the state to share his energy, strategic acumen, and legal skills with workers battling against plant closings and wage cuts, and with environmentalists resisting "factory farms" and other threats to clean water.
Garvey's signature method first found full expression back in 1982, when he directed the NFL players union's campaign for a fixed share of the football league's massive, fast-growing revenues. Under Garvey, the union developed and drove home a compelling message that motivated the players and resonated with fans. As Garvey would later recall, "We built support among the public by emphasizing, 'We are the game'—emphasizing that while the owners were dispensable, the players are not."
The message kept the players consistently fired up. "Once the players really understood that they truly are the game, they were well on the way to victory," Garvey explained at the time. This consistent message enabled the NFL stars to quickly out-maneuver the league and its hardliner anti-union majority. By the strike's end, not a single player had crossed the picket lines, the public solidly supported the union, and the owners were forced to agree to provide the players with 55 percent of revenues.
Not that Garvey's strategy was always appreciated within the ranks of labor or by Democrats. Garvey once recounted how then–AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland, a dour and cautious figure, told him "to avoid too much publicity. He demanded, 'What if you lose?'"
Garvey retorted, "Well, what if we win?" With the NFL players' strike, as with numerous local fights involving unions and environmentalists, the Garvey method paid off by combining a powerful message with grassroots activism and public outreach.
Some Wisconsin Democrats never got comfortable with Garvey. To them, openly proclaiming a progressive, anti-corporate message risked alienating the Democrats' donor class, and galvanizing and intensifying right-wing opposition to frightening levels. In his 1986 race for the U.S. Senate seat held by arch-conservative Robert Kasten, Garvey's surging poll numbers alarmed Kasten consigliere Roger Ailes (later of Fox News infamy) into devising a major TV ad buy that falsely accused Garvey of stealing $750,000 from the NFL union he had represented. After his narrow re-election, Kasten was shamefacedly forced to admit that there had been no basis for the charge, but the outcome was of course unchanged.
Garvey's fierce allegiance to rank-and-file union members also caused some rifts with labor leaders across the state.
But today, under Republican Governor Scott Walker and President Trump, Wisconsin Democrats face unprecedented existential threats to labor rights, the public commons, the environment, and civil liberties. They need Ed Garvey's full-throated progressive message of economic inequality, and his genius for communication, more than ever. This may be Garvey's most important legacy—and what makes his loss untimely in more sense than one.

Laingsburg Eye Care Gives Back
Dr. Marsha Brandon owner of Laingsburg Eye Care in celebration of her birthday conducted her 8th annual Emergency Day on Wednesday, September 27th.
Emergency Day is to benefit those in extreme need of an eye examination and glasses. In past years Laingsburg Eye Care has donated many free eye examinations and basic glasses to patients who fell in the Emergency Day criteria. The criteria ensure that Dr. Brandon can serve those who need help the most. Likely candidates have no insurance. Have not had an eye exam and new glasses in the past 5 years and honestly cannot afford it. This year Dr. Brandon was able to give the gift of sight to 10 patients who combined, saved over $3750.00 that day.
Laingsburg Eye Care would like to thank Walman optical and our frame representatives who helped make this day possible.
This is one of the lucky recipients of a free eye exam on our Emergency Day, 6 year old, Jace Loomis!
After living and working in Laingsburg for 15 years, Dr. Brandon chooses to give back to the community. In 2010, Dr. Brandon and her employees collected boxes of food for the Laingsburg Food Bank. Each Halloween, Dr. Brandon buys extra candy from trick-or-treaters. This candy is sent to troops overseas who may not have access to the candies from home that they love and miss. Everyone wins: the kids learn restraint against candy--which may decrease their chance of diabetes and all of the retinal issues that may arise from the disease, soldiers receive a gift from home, and the children are still rewarded for their hard work. Each year, Laingsburg Eye Care also hosts a Trunk Show, in which representatives from designers bring in a larger selection of frames. There are sales here, ranging from 20-50% off the cost of lenses. Doctor views this as a way to decrease the cost of expensive eyewear in a fun and exciting way.
In the summer, Dr. Brandon likes to keep kids active by sponsoring a Good Deed Contest. Students write a few paragraphs about how their volunteering helped the community, and other local business owners vote on the winner. In July, the winner is given an iPod with accessories or a prize of equal value. Above these events, doctor's favorite falls on her birthday, September 27. Instead of receiving gifts, doctor gives free eye exams to people in Laingsburg who are in difficult financial situations. They also receive free eyeglasses from the lab. Doctor is packed with patients on this day, but after seeing the smiles on patients' faces when they can read again, she feels ecstatic. "I wish I could do this more often, even though it's a crazy day," says Brandon. Aside from helping the Laingsburg area, Dr. Brandon has also traveled to Chile to build a church. A year later, she visited the Dominican Republic to provide vision services and glasses to those in need. Dr. Brandon cares about giving back to the community--not simply making a living in a beautiful town.
At Laingsburg Eye Care we have a Let's Help Program for people that do not have insurance and cannot afford an eye exam. We help the patient by reducing the charge for an eye exam to $49.00 and out of that we donate $10 to a local charity. This time we were able to give a donation of $200.00 to the Laingsburg Food Bank, Pictured: Dr. Brandon, Charles and Susan Dodge and our very own Mayor Michael Culpepper.
It's Emergency Day. Free exams and glasses for those who are in need, but can't afford it. This is the 6th annual event on or around my birthday. Thanks to my lab, Harbor, for supplying frames and lenses. What a team! Everybody wins, but especially me.
