Chris Giorni, Mr. Science with Tree Frog Treks, demonstrates how to make simulated frog skin. To make the simulated frog skin, you will need glue, water, borax laundry powder and food coloring. First, add a pinch of the powdered borax to water and dye it green using the food coloring. Next, water down the glue and place it on a plate. Add the borax solution to the plate. Mix the compound with your fingers. It will quickly form a long chain polymer or sticky frog skin. Frogs breathe through their skin so they need a clean, pollution-free environment to live in.

Fed Up with Plastic? You Need to See This...
Remember the little seahorse hauling a Q-tip? When the photo swept through social media this summer it instantly became an emblematic image of the plastic waste suffocating our oceans. Experts say that if things don't change, by 2021 we will be facing an environmental crisis as serious as climate change. The solution lies with limiting our use of single-use plastics, however finding products that don't rely on some form of plastic can be challenging.Read More

Seven days, 11 states, 9 cities, 2,805 miles, one flat tire and a lifetime of memories later and we finally arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon. We left Las Vegas bright and early...
Viewing entries tagged
Road Trip
While not actually on Route 66, Las Vegas is so close we figured why not! From Flagstaff, we drove to Kingman, AZ for lunch at the famous Route 66 diner - Mr. D'z.
Driving across three states (Oklahoma, Texas and part of New Mexico) yesterday allowed us to spend more time in Albuquerque, a place I've always been curious about.
Whew, what a long day! Woke up to a flat tire in Tulsa and had to get the car towed to a VW dealership. Got off to a later start than hoped but feeling blessed that this happened at the hotel...
Day three was all about food, so it seems. Having worked up quite the appetite at City Museum, we ventured over to another St. Louis institution - Donut Drive-In.

Diversity is Key – The UK's Top Muslim Beauty and Fashion Influencers
The fashion and beauty world is beginning to celebrate a greater diversity of bodies and styles. As media and customers challenge companies to think beyond traditional notions of beauty, brands have responded with more inclusive campaigns. For example, Muslim women wearing the hijab had been largely absent from fashion campaigns – until recently. In last year's inspiring campaign, Nike launched an athletic hijab. The campaign, which highlighted how difficult it is for hijab-wearing athletes to find practical fitness clothing, was a huge success.
The hijab covers the head, so it was a surprise when L'Oréal included a hijab model in their campaign for haircare products. The campaign increased the representation of Muslim women in fashion and highlighted the many different ways women relate to their hair. The campaign caused a stir when British beauty influencer Amena Khan, who would have been the face of this campaign, stepped down after receiving criticism for tweets she posted in 2014 that were said to have "anti-Israel" content.
We're seeing more hijab-wearing models represented in fashion and beauty campaigns, so we turned to our platform, to find Instagram's best performing Muslim influencers from the UK for our True Reach analysis this week. For a closer look at these influencers, check out our True Reach Top 3 list below – we're sure there's someone for your next influencer marketing campaign.
1. SABINAHANNAN (437K FOLLOWERS, B+/80 percent)
22-year-old Sabina Hannan used to work in a nursery but has become a huge success on YouTube over the last two years. On her YouTube channel, the Muslim influencer mainly posts makeup tutorials, most of them glamorous and dramatic. She also has tutorials for different hijab styles. She posts personal content as well, opening up about her recent marriage and other topics. Her Instagram feed is a mix of professional looking makeup styles and outfit posts. And although Hannan says that she's "quite boring to be honest, I'm like a grandma," her followers seem to love her personality and style.
Her Instagram account has a steady growth of 3.63 percent and a high Like-Follower-Ratio of 5.6 percent. Surprisingly, most of her followers are not from the U.K. (only 14.9 percent) but from the U.S. (40.9 percent). With an audience quality grade of B+, she makes it to the top of our list of Muslim influencers.
InfluencerDB's media metrics of Sabina Hannan's Instagram account
Hannan has had partnerships with well-known brands such as Daniel Wellington, Braun, and the shopping center Westfield London. Due to her affinity for makeup, the London-based influencer would be perfect for beauty and cosmetics brands as well as fashion and lifestyle products. In the future, Hannan hopes to become a successful businesswoman with her own brand. We can't wait to see more of her!
2. SEBINAAH (360K FOLLOWERS, B/79 percent)
Sebina Hussain is a fashion, beauty and lifestyle influencer who focuses on modest fashion. Modest fashion refers to loose and comfortable clothes that reveal less skin. It could be seen as conservative or even boring, but Hussain proves this view of modest fashion wrong. She displays elegant and trendy outfits with different hijab styles and even gives makeup tutorials from time to time. She invites her followers to take part in her life, talking about topics that concern her as a Muslim woman but also about her recent pregnancy and the newest chapter in her life – being a mum.
InfluencerDB target group analysis of Sebina Hussain's Instagram account
Hussain has a great audience quality grade and a constant follower growth. While most of her followers are from the U.S. and the U.K., others hail from a variety of other countries, including Nigeria, Indonesia, and Morocco. So far, Hussain has collaborated with Nivea, Westfield London and the commuting app Gett Together.
The influencer would be a perfect partner for a variety of brands – fashion and beauty, of course, but interior and lifestyle products could also be a good fit for her. And the Muslim model from London recently gave birth, so baby clothes and product lines would also be a great match for Hussain.
3. DINATOKIO (1.4M FOLLOWERS, B-/74 percent)
Lifestyle and fashion blogger Dina Torkia is one of the most influential hijab bloggers in the U.K. Torkia has a cool street style, combining jeans and sneakers with baggy sweaters and a beautifully wrapped hijab that matches the color of her outfit. It looks effortless, but it hasn't always felt that way. The 28-year-old started her YouTube channel in 2011 by talking about her daily struggles to find stylish and fashionable clothes that were suitable for her, and how Muslim women were never represented as stylish.
In her YouTube videos, Torkia wants to create awareness and challenge the ways Muslim women are commonly presented. In 2017, she started a series called "Your Average Muslim." In the series, she portrayed Muslim women who diverged from typical stereotypes. Characters included a Muslim powerlifter, a hip-hop dancer from Berlin and Muslim women in prison.
InfluencerDB's media metrics of Sabina Hannan's Instagram account
Scoring a B- (73 percent), Torkia has a fairly good audience quality grade and her follower count is growing constantly. Most of her followers are female and located in the U.K. or the U.S. Her Instagram account reached its highest earned media value after being mentioned by the official YouTube account as an ambassador for #CreatorsForChange. Torkia has teamed up with Colgate, Revlon and chocolate brand Godiva UK.

After profiling major figures such as Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld and creating highly acclaimed documentaries including Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line, and The Fog of War, Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris turns his attention to his longtime friend: portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman who, for more than 35 years, has been creating stunning large-format photos of people in her unusual studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sitting for her larger-than-life Polaroid Land 20×24 camera, Dorfman's subjects have included Beat poets, rock stars, Harvard notables, everyday folks, and Morris himself. In this delightful and engaging film, Dorman describes her love affair with the large-format medium and the unique style of her work. She has no interest in plumbing the depths of her subject's souls or "to take more than they're willing to give." Instead, she and her camera celebrate the people who step into her studio — their surface appearances, personalities, idiosyncrasies, and everyday triumphs. "Life," Dorfman says, "is hard enough. You don't need to walk around with a picture of it." I sat down with Errol Morris to discuss his loving portrait of this very unique artist.
Danny Miller: I was so fascinated by Elsa Dorfman and her incredible work. When you started taking to her about making this documentary, did you have a feeling what the final film would be like? Do you ever know at the beginning whether you actually have a film?
Errol Morris: No, not really. All I knew was that Elsa is an extraordinary person. But, I aways wonder — will I really be able to capture the person, especially someone like Elsa who I knew so well. Could I make her come alive? This was a question with Elsa, it was a question with all the people I've worked with. Will I be able to capture something?
So in the back of your head there's an option that you might decide at some point that no, it's not going to work as a full-length film?
Oh, sure, there's always that option. I've done a number of interviews with people over the years where I didn't want to continue so I just put it on a shelf and move on. That's happened a fair number of times. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Of course, with someone like Robert McNamara, even if the interview isn't working out as you'd hoped, that itself would be really interesting.
Yeah — with McNamara, it was a struggle just getting him to do it. He tried to cancel a number of times and then he told me he'd only give me five minutes. After 10 minutes he said, "Okay, I'll give you another 10 minutes," and then he ended up doing 20-plus hours with us. But that was a very different kind of deal!
Did you feel any special challenges with Elsa because you already knew her so well?
No, I found that to be a great benefit — her willingness to share all of the material in her archives and to let us dig through all kinds of stuff. We found in her phone machine tapes the last phone call that Allen Ginsberg made to Elsa, she didn't even know she had it. We also found this wonderful film in a drawer of Elsa rollerskating — it was great having all that access.
It definitely feels like she hasn't gotten a fair shake in the photography world. And yet she remains so grounded and unassuming — it doesn't seem like she has any bitterness about it.
It's kind of amazing, isn't it? She's the most unpretentious person I know and yet she's really profound. She's so gifted and yes, she never really got her due as a photographer but kept making great photographs one after the other, year after year after year. She's very inspiring.
I love the whole concept of the "B" side of the photos — that she'd take two of these large-format Polaroids and let the client pick which one they wanted and she'd keep the other one. Having seen many of the originals, would you say that the two photographs are often very different?
Well, obviously they are different to the people who are paying for them. For me, and for Elsa, we both feel that many of the "B side" photographs were actually better than the photographs that the client picked.
Oh, interesting. I can see how the more "imperfect" ones might be more appealing to her because they convey more.
Exactly, you feel that the people have been captured more completely than, perhaps, the ones that are more cosmetically perfect. But in all her photographs, Elsa is capturing so much. One of the things that's so interesting about the work is the way photography plays with memory and time in ways that are endlessly mysterious. Elsa says that she's nailing down the "now" and that the now is very fleeting, and this is true.
I assume when people go to her for a portrait, they know they're not going to get something very traditional.
I think so. Recently she refused to take someone's portrait because they were all dressed up. She said, "I don't do those kind of photographs!"
Having been in those sessions, does she have a particularly unusual manner of putting people at ease?
She talks to people, she relates to people, she brings you into her world. She's funny, she's engaging, she's smart — the experience of having a photo taken by Elsa is the experience of coming to love Elsa. It's impossible for me to even think of the photographs independent of that. For me, it's all about going to her studio and talking to her and having her talk to you.
Did it take any convincing on your part to get her to agree to be the subject of a documentary?
Oh, not at all. We had talked about it for a long time, she just didn't really believe that I was going to go through with it. But she was always cooperative and excited about my doing it. And she loves the film. We had a screening last week in New York and Elsa and I were on stage afterwards and she was really bubbling with excitement. She loves watching and taking about the movie. It's incredibly heartwarming for me that I could give this to her — she so enjoys the attention that she's getting!
And the film will just make more people clamor for her photographs.
Yes, I think that is already happening. But, to be honest, she's not that interested in taking photographs at this point. She'll do it, but she's raised her prices astronomically! We took the whole huge camera set-up to Telluride (it takes four people along with Elsa to manipulate that camer) and she took around 70 large-format Polaroids of people at the festival.
Those lucky people! As such a gifted filmmaker yourself, would you say that she just has an innate eye for detail? Or is it more about her relationship with her subjects?
It's all of that. Particularly in photography, the ability to relate to the people you're shooting, the nature of that connection is critically important. It's a mysterious deal, and it has a lot to do with friendship. This movie, in a way, is an elegy to the loss of many things, the loss of an art form which has been a major part of her life, the loss of a number of people whom she truly loved, Ginsberg being an example, and the fact that she carries on.
I love the way that you have captured such a broad range of people in your films, including important figures in Washington. Can you imagine one day doing a film about Trump or the people in his administration?
The whole administration is so intensely distasteful. The un-genuineness of it all, I'm repelled on so many levels. To me the most frightening and repellent thing is the disregard for truth, almost contempt for rationality itself. It's frightening. I actually have filmed Donald Trump — about 15 years ago, a piece about the movie Citizen Kane that I did with him. You can find it online.
Would you say you have to identify with your subjects in some way in order to shoot them?
I used to say that I had to like someone in order to film them. Donald Rumsfeld came the closest to testing that. I did like McNamara, but I found Rumsfeld really closed off from everything, just a kind of obduracy and defiance. There was something incredibly sad about someone who has lived their entire life just posturing. There's very little genuine there except for the desire to say "I'm right and you're wrong." That's how I view Trump and his administration.
Which is the polar opposite of Elsa who is so incredibly genuine and lives in the moment. You can see that her connection with others is what keeps her going.
After making the movie, I've often thought about what remains at the end of everything. Your archive might vanish, many of the people you know will die, but you still have to have love and friendship — those are the basic ingredients of life. I really value my friendship with Elsa, I've learned a lot from her as a person and as an artist.

It's this guy's birthday. We won't talk about how OLD he is- all you need to know is that he's older than me (& he always will be).
This last year of life has been a crazy one. We had a [another] baby...(well, I actually had the baby, he didn't). We moved to a new state. He started a new job in the new state a week before said baby was born. Nuts- it's the only way to describe it. Absolutely nuts. And through all of this, he's been the rock. He is the superhero of our family. He's the smartest person I know and he works his tail off. He cooks dinner every night and breakfast every weekend. He can build and/or fix anything. He's got pretty legit style and KILLER hair. He provides for us and he always tries to put his family first. Oh, and he puts up with me...no easy task, that's for sure. ;)
It's no secret, I know everyone likes him better than me. The kids like him more than me, our grooms like him wayyyyy more than me (ok, only a little more), and our friends definitely like him more than me. He's just that guy. He's a the best dad, a great friend, a fantastic officiant (ha), and an even better partner. Our relationship isn't perfect. In fact, it's actually really hard and it's a lot of work, but he is always willing to work for it. He's my biggest cheerleader and I know he always will be. He deserves to be celebrated every day, but today, especially. I'll never be able to put into words how incredible I think he is, but hopefully I make him feel it. Happy Birthday to my better half! ILY- LET'S PARTY!!!!

Grand Canyon National Park Engagements // Adventure Wedding Photographer // Marta & Mark
One of my favorite places in the entire world is the Grand Canyon. This session is especially close to my heart because we got to share a place that's so inspiring to us with another couple. The Grand Canyon is nothing short of breathtaking (literally, every time I see it I gasp). We met Marta & Mark at the famous "We Cook Pizza" just outside the park after a week of backpacking down into the canyon and back up. Marta is a geologist and during the session, she told us all about the story of how the canyon was formed. I was sorta geeking out as she was telling us about each different layer. She told us about how parts of it are basically petrified sand dunes, parts of it were underwater at some point, and all of it is slowly being eroded by the Colorado River. It was so fascinating.
I love capturing the real stuff--the awkward laughing, inside jokes, and the way couples naturally fall into each other--without the poses and direction we typically give. These two were candid & honest with us. Going from sweet cuddling to making fun of each other all within the same breath, which felt so real. These two are fun, and sweet, and silly, and weird, all wrapped up into one. Basically, my favorite kind of people. We are so excited for their wedding next summer.

Why is the Middle East so Unstable
Have you checked out the Middle East these days? It is one hot mess, there are countless civil wars going on, protest after protest, fighting across borders, car bombs going off, suicide bombers, and on and on. And all this occurs in only a week or so.
Actually, the Middle East looks at the United States with mixed feelings. For starters, the US has meddled and manipulated politics in the Middle East for over hundred years which many feel has made things worse. And now, many feel that the US pivoted toward Asia during the Obama years, ignoring some of the messes that they made in particularly Iraq, Libya, and Yemen.
But much of this bitterness comes from disagreements that are over 1400 years old. You just can't over simplify the forces at work in the Middle East – there is enough bitterness to go around. We can start with religious differences. Not only is there hatred brewing between the Muslims and Christians, we also have the Sunnis and Shias fighting as well.
Many have said that the rest of the world should just leave the Middle East alone, but it is not that easy. The region suffers because the nations there are poorly governed and the corruption is off the charts. They discriminate against women and have severe economic problems.
For good reason, millions of them migrate to democratic nations in order to give their families a happy life. This is why the rest of the world cannot ignore them. We need to understand the ideologies that they were exposed to because that is what they bring to our societies. But at the same time, they must assimilate in our societies as well – they cannot be allowed to set up enclaves in our worlds, this serves no one and creates more division. This is the big mistake that Europe is making with their influx of migrants from the Middle East – they will regret this one day.

At this point, problems with PSN are not even news, just routine and expected.
Though Sony has made incredible strides with the PlayStation Network in the decade since its initial inception, especially on the features front – not only is PSN on par with Xbox Live, when it comes to social or sharing features, for example, but it also has multiple features not available on Xbox Live at all, such as SharePlay – the overall stability and netcode of the network leaves a lot to be desired. PSN suffers from frequent outages, DDoS attacks, maintenance periods, and slower than necessary download speeds.
That continues with this piece of news- PlayStation users in Europe are experiencing slower than usual download speeds through PlayStation Network. This issue has been verified by a response from Sony through the support forum, where they confirmed that files over 3GB are seeing crippled download speeds.
Coming as this does right around the time of Batman: Arkham Knight's release – a game with a hefty download size (nearly 40GB), as well as ridiculously big day one patch (nearly 3.5GB) – this probably is being highlighted more than it would be ordinarily, leading to more player frustration.
Sony, I have nothing to say to you, but a plea for you to just fix your damn network already.

Newborn session with Alexis, Michael & Ripley - London Newborn Photography
Alexis and Michael hired me to document the birth of their daughter Ripley. We immediately connected as Alexis is a fellow photographer who specialises in interiors. I loved her quirky taste in fashion, design and photography. We met in East London for coffee one afternoon and spent many hours chatting and laughing together.
It was a long birth for Alexis ending in an emergency Caesarean she also has a very difficult first few weeks recovering and suffering a dangerous haemorrhage at home.
We decided that before seeing her birth images we would do a beautiful newborn rebirth session at home and create the beautiful environment that Alexis had wanted with the birth. These sessions can be very healing especially after a difficult birth. It gives the mother a chance to just sit and soak in the beauty of her new baby while I capture some precious and beautiful moments, They are very relaxed we have tea and often cake debrief the birth together and then take some photos.
This session was a lot of fun and I loved capturing Alexis in the bath having some skin to skin..

Election Center
Patty Butler
A candidate for State Senator, Legislative District 32 in the 2010 Washington Primary Election
Party: Democrat
On this race:
Elected Experience: Elected Democratic State Representative from the 32nd District from 1997 – 1999.
Other Professional Experience: A mother of three, I have owned a small business, was a manager at Bon Marche and an international trading company, worked for Planned Parenthood five years before my current job as a manager for Fran's Chocolates.
Education: Graduated from Shoreline High School, 1970. Attended Shoreline Community College. Finishing my degree in Business Management at Edmonds Community College and pursuing a BA.
Community Service: Northwest Women's Law Center; WA Council for Prevention of Child Abuse, Board President Banchero Friends Service for the Disabled; WA Lake Health and Clean Water Committee.
Statement: Over ten years ago I had the privilege of being elected to represent the citizens of the 32nd Legislative District. During that time I accomplished something few freshman lawmakers do, I passed a consumer related bill into law.
Since then, I have used the same tenacity you came to know surviving two recessions, raising my children, working day in and day out, and figuring out how to get by on less. I went back to school, completing several business courses while managing one of the area's best chocolates stores and small businesses.
It's this commitment that is lacking in our legislature. I can no longer sit by and watch the stalemates, indecision, and partisanship in Olympia. Lawmakers today cannot even work together in their own party. We need to regain the respect and confidence of voters by accomplishing things that matter to real people, not just play politics. I know how to work together with people, keeping my roots based in the 32nd, and to prioritize education, the environment and consumer protection. I did this ten years ago as a lawmaker; I'm certain if given the opportunity, I'll get the results my constituents deserve.

Square Enix is a company with a history entrenched in the world of RPGs. Between franchises like Final Fantasy and Star Ocean, it's hard to associate them with anything else, but Square Enix has been keeping themselves busy publishing some pretty fun and (considering my preconceived notion of them) different games. So what will fans be able to expect from the infamous Square Enix? Quite a bit actually, and all of it looks pretty darn good.
In the RPG category Square Enix's two biggest games would have to be Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Though BBS is already released in Japan, it's doubtful Square Enix would pass up the opportunity to plug the franchise a bit more. More pressing however, is the new (offline) Final Fantasy, of which details have been very limited up to this point. A clip here and there, a few character backgrounds, and some flashy CG is all fans have had to chew on for quite a while now and knowing how much criticism hit their last Final Fantasy title I would expect Square Enix would want to show they've still got what it takes to make an incredible RPG.
Meanwhile those who prefer their RPG's in a more online format should expect to see some information regarding Final Fantasy XIV, the 'sequel' to the MMO Final Fantasy XI. So far we know that the game includes a slew of combat, and class changes, but more information regarding quests, dungeons, and zones would be more than welcome. With PlayOnline out of the picture for the new MMO it would also be nice to explain to fans how their account profile would/could be transferred, in addition to showing how well the game will run cross-platform on the PS3. Lot of potentially cool things there, if they decide to let us in on it.
For those who're less excited about levels, experience, and goblins, Square Enix will also have their name on a lot of other games. Laura Croft and the Guardian of Light is one of them, and could have a nice little playable demo for everyone to enjoy. Front Mission Evolved is also due out this year, and Square will no doubt have to work hard to market that the series can hold its own ground outside the TBS format.
Most exciting is the release of Deus Ex Human Revolution, set to release early 2011, it may be a bit early for them to release any hype based around the title. That doesn't mean I can't hope and beg however, as the games most recent trailer has done nothing short but blow me away. First and foremost would be to show how the new 'health regeneration' system is a positive swing from the series, as Deus Ex has been one of the last bastions of 'go-and-find-that-health-pack-you-saw-ten-minutes-ago' game design. A positive change in my book, but it has drawn a bit of criticism and E3 is really the perfect time to kill any nay-say.
Square Enix also does a fantastic job of announcing some surprise titles as well, as they're due for a new Final Fantasy announcement sometime soon (to throw the masses into hysteria). Let's just hope we see a few more new IP's out there this year. Or at least some new RPG's, it's pretty bad having to wait a few years just for a single Final Fantasy title.

GENEVA (Reuters) - The world's airlines lost more than $3 billion in the first quarter of 2009, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday, maintaining its estimate for full-year losses of $9 billion.
In its latest snapshot on the industry, the Geneva-based lobby said weak travel demand and lower freight volumes in the global recession had bled revenues for major carriers, in "a significant deterioration from last year."
"This deterioration was before the recent rise in fuel prices," IATA said, warning the 30 percent increase in oil and jet fuel prices since early May would squeeze airline cash flows further in coming months.
Both oil and jet fuel prices have risen almost $20 a barrel in the past two months, and are now 75 percent higher than their low point at the end of 2008, the Financial Monitor report said.
"Airlines have not yet felt the full impact of this oil price rise," it said.
But it said it was not changing its previous 2009 loss forecast of $9 billion, which follows revised 2008 losses of $10.4 billion.
On Tuesday, U.S. crude traded around $72 per barrel.
IATA, which represents more than 200 airlines, also said carriers trying to fly fewer flights to save costs during the downturn have not managed to cut capacity in line with shrinking air transport demand.
Leading airlines have been seeking mergers and acquisitions to help build scale and shield themselves against continued market weakness until the global economy recovers.
Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) swallowed rival Northwest Airlines last year to create the world's largest airline, and European carriers have also consolidated with Deutsche Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) agreeing to buy Austrian Airlines and Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) scooping up Alitalia.
British Airways BAY.L is also in merger talks with Iberia IBLA.MC, and Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) has said it is eyeing acquisitions in China and India.

Not Her First Rodeo, Minna Gilligan in conversation with Emma Nixon.
EN: In the catalogue essay for Rhinestone Cowgirl you speak of Madonna's different phases, defined by her albums, do you see the phases of your own life and practice as being defined in the same way by your exhibitions?
MG: In a sense yes, there are obviously different eras, which depended on; was I in a relationship with this person then? And what music was I listening to? What was I wearing? All of these things come together as a particular time point in my life - as it does for a lot of people. But I always had very strong associations between what work I was making and what was happening in my life but I think that was less constructed, like that's more of a natural way that things grow. But with this show I was particularly conscious of wanting it to have a theme, and a recognisable aesthetic that it was referencing. I sort of heightened that by using my social media to tell people about the inspiration, and the imagery I was looking at. So it was definitely more curated for this. But there's always things defining the work you're making and how you're living your life at that point. I always look back and can recognise different things that were a common aesthetic or a common feeling or something of a particular time. But Rhinestone Cowgirl was much more pronounced and deliberate.
EN: When and how did Rhinestone Cowgirl come about?
MG: Well, I always liked the daggiest music ever and occasionally I'd really listen to a song that would come out and I'd find it like the most profound thing ever. Glen Campbell's song "Rhinestone Cowboy" came on shuffle one day and I was like oh that's a such a funny, melancholic narrative and it was just a great example of the kind of music I like. The kind of longing, melancholia like The Carpenters and yeah it came on and I thought it would be interesting to take that idea and narrative and make it more feminine, to be Rhinestone Cowgirl which opens up all this stuff like Dolly Parton - it kind of started there in the sixties and seventies. And then I realized I'd had my own Rhinestone Cowgirl experience when Madonna released "Music" in 2000. So the idea sort of began there. My focus started very narrow, then I realized it was bigger than I thought and that it related to a lot of things I'm interested in, including Madonna and the idea of reinvention, and I just love the idea of the glitz and glam and what that connotes and brings up.
While the aesthetic references in this body of work have shifted to be more abstract and symbolic, these paintings actually operate as an organic extension of the way I've always worked. The sourcing of fabric is a type of collage, reaching into the world and pulling something from it to 'add', to use retro and kitsch colours and patterns loaded with the weight of memory and experience. My works have always been adorned, previously with collage imagery, and with paint that soaks into the porous fabric. This time the idea of adorning is more obvious – the sequins that inhabit each work, the luxury and maximalism of that really adds a weightier presence to the work that I love. The tie dying is more obvious and unapologetic, forming big, looming shapes and rounded, bleached-out ghost orbs. The building up of these works, the 'adding', drawing from my plethora of influences of retro, kitsch, psychedelia, allows me to create these atemporal realms of nostalgia for a time or place that never actually existed. In these works, that time and place is the narrative in the Rhinestone Cowboy song.
EN: When you reference reinvention, it reminds me of your blog post "Stepping Back (So far)"[1] where you discussed the problematic of competing not only with others but also with your former, younger self and living in the shadow of your past. Is this decided self-reinvention a response to that?
MG: Yeah that's a great analogy, competing with your past self. I definitely feel that I want to push myself further with every exhibition I do. I wanted to make paintings that were a step up for me and that were unapologetic in what they are, like they are pretty crazy. I also wanted to reinforce that I have these kinds of ideas and make these kinds of things as well as existing online. Obviously that's not the only reason I made this body of work but I had a real desire to prove myself and reiterate that I wasn't trying to make something that was a product or for a specific brief or just to put on Instagram.
EN: Was this shift in your practice impulsive or inevitable?
MG: I guess both, I mean it was needed because I always need to feel like I'm developing, otherwise I feel stagnant, and I want every show and every work I make to be better than the last, in my eyes and hopefully in others. It was also driven from an inner self, to have this step up.
EN: With this exhibition you brought such a strong and extended skill set, with the sequinning and tie dying of shapes. Could you say something about how you pushed yourself with this work?
MG: From that drive to develop the work, came the thought, what else am I going to do that's different but still the same, still mine. I was in Spotlight and saw this whole wall of sequins and I was like wow that's so cool, maybe I could do some sequinning or embroidery on the work, which I thought would be so fun. I didn't realize how manually intensive this would be until I was doing it. But it was still this really nice process, I just love sparkly things and they fitted with the idea I had. So I taught myself to sew them on. I've always worked with fabric dying, but this time I researched how to make shapes with the dye through tying the fabric in certain ways, it was really interesting and I liked spending more time with the works as fabrics. The process starts first with finding the fabric in an op shop, which can be when you least expect it, and you're like oh perfect! And then I go through the process of bleaching parts out, tying and putting different colours in, dying it and drying it, and then going for the sewing element, which was new to my process. I spent so much more time with the works and I was really invested in the process of making them and once I stretched them onto the frame it was like wow, a great feeling. Then I would add some elements of paint, but that was really a subtle process compared to the rest. Usually the paint is like the big crazy thing but this time it was more of an embellishment as the last step.
EN: In your past shows at Daine Singer's, you've invited other people to write the catalogue essays, why did you choose to write the Rhinestone Cowgirl essay yourself?
MG: Probably because I'm a control freak, but also because I'd been thinking about the idea for so long I felt I had something to say, and to convey that to someone else and have them write about it seemed redundant. I can write, so I can just write it. And I really loved the writing process and consolidating my thoughts on paper. So it was a really positive thing for me actually.
EN: With your social media you put so much online and are so honest and open with your followers, which obviously people love, but you do question in your essay whether it's a curse? Do you find that sometimes it leaves you feeling a bit vulnerable?
MG: Definitely. I've always loved being online. I had a blog when I was 15 and I loved it, the imagery aspect and the documentation aspect, all of it. But it's left me vulnerable so many times and as I said before, its this thing that some people – not all, I've had a lot of support – struggle to reconcile that I'm an artist with ideas and also personally so visible on Instagram. I can see that it takes a long time for mentalities to change about what you can do, as an artist. Because I just want to do everything and sometimes people just say pick one thing to be really good at. But I'm actually a bit down on Instagram at the moment, because it can just be so unsatisfying- though it's given me so much satisfaction too. There was this meme going around recently and it was like "Instagram gets deleted and you're no longer a model, or a nutritionist, or an artist" and it's so true. It's so inconsequential but its been a good platform for me. I don't know, I go through phases. It can wear on you and you can put so much value on the online presence when it doesn't actually mean anything.
EN: In the essay you talk about trying on these guises, and different personas, and how that differs and protects the authentic self? How would you describe the real or constant Minna?
MG: That's hard, I try to be pretty authentic in the work I make but obviously myself online is curated and very thought out and presented in the way I want it to be. Me eating cereal is pretty authentic, I love doing that!! EN: Do you have a favourite? MG: I have a combo of 3 different cereals every morning, it's Weet-Bix, Weet-Bix bites in honey flavour and Cheerios in honey flavour all together, its really good, that's been a real constant in my life! Hanging out with my family or I suppose any time I'm uninhibited and unselfconscious, so not online. I am uninhibited and unselfconscious in the work I make but it is with the idea that I will have an audience for that later, whereas when I'm with my family I'm being me.
EN: So what's next?
MG: I've got a small show at Bus Projects in May and I'm starting back teaching at Monash University and I also work at Art Guide Australia so I'm pretty busy for the first half of the year. But really I just want to get more time in the studio and focus on my practice. And I'm working on something really big for an institution next year but I don't think I'm allowed to talk about it yet!
[1] Gilligan's blog post discusses how one can only be the effervescent new kid on the block for so long before having to enter the "post-honeymoon art world". Audiences can then question why you aren't afforded the opportunities you were as a break out artist, often causing the artist to feel like they have to compete with their unattainable former self.

In January of this year I completed my second year on the WHCA Board of Directors. At the end of 2016, I was recruited into the post of VP of Communications, filling the void left by the departure of the very capable Mark Sternfels.
Mark not only preceded me in this post, he has continued to provide assistance as needed. Last fall he stepped in to help the Lights in the Heights committee make various changes to the WHCA web site at a time when I was busy with preparing printed goods. He's consistently willing, helpful, skilled and patient.
It's only appropriate that we recognize the efforts of people like Mark, who help make WH a vibrant and exciting community.

January 11, 1997, Section 1, Page 1Buy Reprints
President Eduard A. Shevardnadze of the Republic of Georgia announced today that his Government was prepared to take the unusual step of waiving diplomatic immunity for a senior Georgian diplomat involved in an auto accident that killed a girl a week ago in downtown Washington.
The decision, announced by Mr. Shevardnadze in Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, and by its embassy here, reversed a decision made on Thursday to invoke diplomatic immunity and recall the diplomat, Gueorgui Makharadze.
The decision on Thursday to withdraw Mr. Makharadze prompted Secretary of State Warren Christopher to deliver a personal appeal to Mr. Shevardnadze. Aides, meanwhile, summoned Georgia's Ambassador to the State Department to make a formal request for a waiver and other officials called reporters' attention to the fact that Mr. Makharadze, 35, was evidently preparing to leave the country.
Mr. Makharadze will remain in the United States until the investigation into the accident is completed, Mr. Shevardnadze said in a statement. The embassy said in a statement that Georgia's Government had reconsidered the decision because of Mr. Christopher's appeal, even though it believed that the initial decision to recall the diplomat ''followed the nearly universal practice of the international community.''
''Georgia has acceded to the deep concerns of the United States as expressed by Secretary of State Christopher to President Shevardnadze,'' it said, ''and therefore is prepared to waive immunity in this case in the interest of U.S.-Georgian relations and on moral and ethical grounds,''
The White House and the State Department welcomed the announcement by Mr. Shevardnadze, who has a close relationship with the United States dating to his days as Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union under Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Nicholas Burns, the department spokesman, said the decision by Georgia's President was ''a courageous step.''
''It's also highly unusual, in modern diplomacy, for a head of state to take a step like this,'' Mr. Burns said. ''But given the emotions in the United States, given the feelings of the family and the local community here in Washington, D.C., we think it's the appropriate step for the Government of Georgia to take.''
Mr. Shevardnadze stopped short of formally granting a waiver, but his announcement cleared the way for the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Eric H. Holder Jr., to press on with an investigation.
Mr. Holder's office has already informed the State Department that there was ample evidence to charge Mr. Makharadze. Possible charges include second-degree murder, negligent homicide or vehicular manslaughter, his office said.
The accident occurred near midnight last Friday when Mr. Makharadze's new Ford Taurus plowed into a car waiting at a red light on Connecticut Avenue just north of Dupont Circle. The force of the crash catapulted the second car into a third, killing the passenger, Joviane Waltrick, 16. According to the police, Mr. Makharadze had been drinking and driving too fast before the accident.
The prospect that his status as a diplomat might shield Mr. Makharadze from prosecution revived -- on radio and television talk shows and on Capitol Hill -- an old debate over whether diplomatic immunity was sometimes stretched too far.
Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, the chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the State Department, even called for President Clinton to suspend $30 million in aid for Georgia, a former Soviet republic, if immunity was not lifted, an idea that the State Department strongly opposed.
The accident followed another highly publicized incident in Manhattan involving a Russian and a Belarussian accredited to the United Nations. On Dec. 29, in circumstances that are disputed, the men had a confrontation with police officers trying to ticket the diplomats' car, which was parked in front of a fire hydrant. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has called for the diplomats' expulsion from the United States, while the Governments of Russia and Belarus have demanded an apology from the State Department.
Diplomatic immunity, codified into international law by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, is a basic principal of relations between nations. Under the treaty, which the United States has recognized since 1972, no nation can force a ranking diplomat to appear in court, either on criminal or civil charges, unless the diplomat's government agrees to waive immunity.
There have been only a few cases in recent years when governments have agreed to do so. In 1989, Belgium waived immunity after a sergeant posted at its embassy in Washington was charged and later convicted of two murders in Florida.
The United States rarely waives immunity for its diplomats, arguing that Americans in the Foreign Service should not be subjected to legal systems that do not in many cases reflect American judicial standards.
In 1993, it recalled a diplomat from Russia after he was involved in an accident that killed a pedestrian and was accused by the authorities of driving while drunk. A spokesman for the State Department, Glyn Davies, said earlier this week that an investigation showed that the diplomat, whom he did not identify, had not been at fault.
In its statements, the Government of Georgia cited the United States' normal practice in making its original decision to withdraw Mr. Makharadze. It said it had planned to subject him to Georgian law once he returned home.
Since the accident, the Georgian Government has extended its apologies and help to the family of Miss Waltrick, paying for her funeral on Tuesday and offering ''a measure of compensation for their inconsolable loss,'' according to the statement released here in Washington. A lawyer representing the family, David Richin, declined through his office to discuss the case today.
Lawyers for Mr. Makharadze, Paul Perito and Kirby Behre, said in statement that the diplomat was ''an unwitting political pawn in an international chess game.''
Although Mr. Shevardnadze's statement left open the possibility of ''a different agreement between the two Governments,'' the White House press secretary, Michael D. McCurry, and officials at the State Department said they expected a formal waiver from Georgia after the filing of criminal charges by the United States Attorney's office.
The United States Attorney's next step will now be to present evidence in to a grand jury. That is expected to take place within a week or so.

Coming out of Atlanta, Georgia is Citizen Gold, a brand new band who plays a blend of soul and hip hop, and they play from the heart. Some are fittingly describing their sound as "electric soul" — they use subtle synthesized beats under soaring percussive sounds and lead singer Daniel Goldberg's resounding and nuanced voice.
Just recently, the band put together a beautifully assembled live-stream for SCENES Live Sessions out of Stanwood Studios…
Goldberg tells SCENES: "We as modern musicians are so lucky to have a way to reach a whole new audience online. So when SCENE'S offered us this opportunity, we knew it was something we shouldn't pass up. We are a totally independent band, we have no manager, booking agent, publicist etc. So this was something we knew could help showcase what we as a band are capable of doing, but also what we are capable of doing when the creative community works together. This stream was such a beautiful example of that. Thank you to The Doghouse Atlanta Channel, Venerate Studios, Andrew McBride, Cambell Gitomer, Stanwood Studios and everyone that helped make it happen. If you like what you hear, then please leave a comment, follow us, come out to a show and spread the word."
The critics are raving: Noah Hittner from the Ark of Music said, "Citizen Gold is the kind of unappreciated, diamond in the rough, indie-artist that gets us out of bed in the morning."
And the good news for all of us, Citizen Gold is just getting started. Here's where you can find them:

Russian President Vladimir Putin today removed his long-time chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov, from his post. The demotion of one of Putin's closest allies – who had been at the president's side since their days in the Soviet-era KGB and became one of Russia's most powerful men – comes after a string of government reshuffles. Ivanov is the highest-ranking Putin ally impacted by the changes, and his departure also comes at a time when there are reports that another Putin ally, Rosneft chief Igor Sechin, may be falling into disfavor as well.
Putin's latest actions signal that the Russian leader is moving aggressively to rebalance the factions of Russia's security and economic elites and consolidate power further. He is doing so at a time when internal economic pressures in Russia are growing and just as the Kremlin is also boosting tensions in Ukraine and attempting to force the West into a negotiated settlement. Putin's dramatic moves, in Russia and externally, indicate that he is sensing threats to his interests and immediate opportunities to boost his position.

What are the bonds we share, the ones divided by racism? Perhaps our common humanity? Perhaps our common experience of longing for the transcendent? Perhaps our common home, planet Earth? Perhaps...dare I write this, the reality that we know not the origin of life, any and every life? And perhaps the possibility that each and every person alive may well have a still invisible spirit or as Pope Francis would call it a soul?
Our physicists are claiming most of the universe is made of something we utterly cannot identify, measure precisely or manipulate in any manner--dark matter and dark energy are the names given to this unknown. Is there any scientific reason to believe this may not be inside us individually as well? I think not given we have neutrinos, whatever they may be streaming through us constantly. Why not a soul we still cannot identify but is equally real as well? To assume our medical science is complete is ridiculous and I say this as one who has seen life and death working in operating rooms for years. A beating human heart is the most breathtaking sight most people who have seen one will admit exists in life. I write this as a mother who, while experiencing the miracle of birth recognizes that in each child I birthed that same utterly unexplainable reality thrummed. We humans share this unity with every heartbeat and through every living breath.
Who or what is the reality we have named God, in all the forms, under all guises that support life for all we may never understand. That does not mean there is no Creator. For all the knowledge of science, all the equations, all the math there is one factor science itself admits to not ever identifying: where and how the first of the first of the first of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest particle originated and began its journey. Pope Francis seems to recognize this. He calls us to the unity of our shared mystery of life.
Race, the lie that somehow people are different because of different external appearances makes a lie of our humanity. It is time to recognize, identify and stop the lie. Racism and the harm it causes which arises from the lie of race is NOT a game. It never was. But yesterday is over, we only have today, this moment, this instant and we can use today to move forward, to build change. I do not support racism. If you also reject racism what are you doing today to build change so tomorrow we are moving closer to removing racism from our sports teams and their official endorsed identities? They are one of the last places America still teaching racism to our children.

Amongst the beautiful vines of one of Gippsland's finest wineries, lay a clear marquee set to greet Amber and Will's guests as this wonderful family came together for a special 'I do'.
Natural birch arbour adorned in gorgeous blooms stood proud with the vineyard playing backdrop.
A long burlap aisle scattered with rose petals to lead the way.
Champagne and canapés served upon the deck with timber bar furniture and blooms paired with tea lights to carry through the evening.
Dinner was served in the restaurant with two long feasting-style tables to keep their guests connected and socialising right throughout the evening.
Amber really wanted to capture the beautiful natural surroundings of the venue and work this into the interior styling for their wedding as this is what couple loved about the venue.
Playing tribute to the beautiful high ceilings, we designed a dinner amongst the vines with tall table centrepieces of lush foliages arranged in a flowing and whimsical style to bring that natural outdoor element on to the guest tables.
Walking through the restaurant, you really felt like you were walking amongst the trees and the soft voile backdrop with glowing tea lights really set the ambiance for the evening ahead.
As this day was held dear to this family's hearts as Amber reached a true milestone to be able to walk down the aisle to her love, it was without a doubt a true pleasure to work with such a imaginative and positive couple who trusted our designs and helped amplify this as the idea-ball got rolling in our catch ups together and we learned more about their story.
Congratulations to you Amber + Will, a magnificent love story we're oh so privileged to be a part of and to have witnessed. Your strength and courage truly touched us as we embarked on this wedding journey with you both. Thank you x

It's time for another weekly roundup, here's what we've been up to this week. It's been a busy one that's for sure.
We designed the layout and graphics for a spectacular Totem display for our Tamworth based AV Plates client ready for the ISE Exhibition in Amsterdam, sorting email campaigns now!
Helped our Leamington based Fire and Smoke solutions clients by creating their new website, and reported back and actioned AdWords recommendations to increase sales.
We helped our Burntwood based compliance, testing and related services client get the most out of their Chamber of Commerce membership. Renamed a regional bookkeeping and payroll specialist.
Helped a local web agency with an urgent project and they reciprocated by helping us out with another urgent project. We also went creative, graphic design and print crazy this week, printed thousands of NCR sets both 2 and 3 part, flyers, business cards, letterheads, engineer calling cards, security ID badges, handover checklists, certificates, van livery and some lovely brochures.
On the lighter side: the team at TMP HQ had some lovely cakes brought in by one of our fav clients. Laurie & Amanda survived on soup for the week (despite the cakes!), Ash got some sleep, Rich braved the elements and went out to do some good old-fashioned sales visits, and David has been typing with one glove on!? The marketing dogs were all overcome with excitement when they were treated to a new chewy bone, see the leader of the pack Chopsie hard at work!
What's your week been like?

2017 has been one hell of a year! So much to reflect on and be thankful for, and even more to look forward to in 2018. This past year was politically infuriating, professionally encouraging, and personally wonderful. I was able to stay true to the goals I set for myself and remain active in my community. The women's march in DC was a huge inspiration for me, and as a result I have kept up with the issues that I have avoided in the past. Becoming more engaged and socially conscious was, and remains, important to me. Our country has a long way to go, but I am glad to be a part of it.
Professionally, I settled into my studio in the new and improved Redux Contemporary Art Center, sign on with the wonderful team behind Straight to Art, began teaching workshops, served on the 2017 Redux auction committee (the most successful auction to date!), secured a solo show for next year (stay tuned!), ANNNNND I've put in my notice to be a full-time creative! Woohoo! I can't tell you how excited I am to begin teaching courses at Redux next month. My students have started to sign up, and I've been subjecting friends and family to practice class sessions. In addition to teaching, I will get to spend MUCH more time in the studio. Being able to wake up every day and be creative is a dream come true; I am on the cusp of officially living my dream, I just can't get over it.
Personally, it has been a wonderful year of settling into the home we own. Our furry family has reached capacity (for now), and I have loved making memories in a home I can call my very own. We starting getting our hands dirty, upgrading the back yard, and painting our walls with the colors of our choice. We have also had so much fun curating the art we have been collecting over the past few years. What a difference some well loved art can make!
Of course I have doubts and insecurities about taking the scary leap into the unknown, but I'm totally confident that it is the right decision for me and my career. I need to take this risk in order to grow my business, and I have a solid foundation to work from. These past 4 years of hard work and sacrifice have taught me so much and prepared me for the uncertainty of what lays ahead, I am READY. Bring it on, 2018!

Mike Viola
If someone ever decides to remake the musical Grease and replace the old tunes with newer, original material, Mike Viola's "Soundtrack of My Summer" would be the updated version of "Sandy." Melodically, there are plenty of similarities and the lyrical sentiment of Viola's song has that same melancholy, broken-hearted feeling of the Grease favorite.
Mike Viola is no stranger to writing songs for movies. He has written some hilarious pop songs, including "Furry Walls" and "African Child," the controversial hits that Russell Brand's character Aldous Snow sings in the movie Get Him To The Greek. He's also responsible for about one half of the seriously funny soundtrack to the movie Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
But, make no mistake, Viola is no novelty songwriter. Keep in mind, he was hired to write ridiculous tunes for those movies. The reason the producers chose him over someone else is because he is a gifted songster who seems to come up with affecting material effortlessly.
"Soundtrack of My Summer" rides that line between solid-album track and hit song. One thing I like about Viola is that he has an ability to trick you into thinking he's going in one direction but, instead chooses to go somewhere pleasantly different.
What do I mean by that? Well, take the first verse, for example. It begins with "A dreamer/ Who's forgotten how to dream." Cool.
The next line is "a singer..."
I'm willing to bet that most listeners will anticipate the following line to be "who's forgotten how to sing." Indeed, that would be boring and predictable. But, instead Viola cries "a singer/ when no one's listening." Much better!
Soundtrack of My Summer by Mike Viola
Does his voice sound familiar to you? Perhaps it's because you heard him sing lead vocals on this movie hit—which, was written by Adam Schlesinger (NOT Mike Viola)!
