Most people who study architecture want to become an architect, but halfway through my second year I came to the conclusion that I didn't. I approached design projects differently from my course mates – from a technical perspective rather than from a design concept. I started to think about how I could do something more technical and engineering focused, which led me to my first graduate role as a design engineer for a modular building company. Essentially, they sent over fitted-out (complete and furnished) hotel rooms and student accommodation from China, which would later be placed into buildings, saving time on the site.
It was a nice couple of years, but it was a small company and I wanted to gain a more varied experience of construction. I was looking for jobs online and came across the Laing O'Rourke graduate programme, which I was still eligible to apply for. What I really liked about Laing O'Rourke was that it was a large international organisation able to offer the variety and development opportunities that I was seeking, but it was still a family-owned business.
Unblocking paths: the job of a design manager
I completed the graduate programme recently and now work as a design coordinator. I do a similar role to a project manager, but focusing on the design work. My role is essentially to help resolve problems for the design team and to 'unblock the path' for them to do what is needed. A lot of this involves identifying the right person to speak to. The design team includes architects, engineers, consultants and often the client's design team as well.
The design team holds meetings frequently – sometimes once a week, sometimes five times a day depending on the project – in which we all go through everything that is pertinent to the project and work through any issues. I'll also spend my working day reviewing drawings that have been issued to check for errors. I occasionally review issues out on this site, too. I usually work from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and am based in on-site offices.
I currently split my time between two projects: one new station for Crossrail and the other is a data centre. The day-to-day work is similar across projects, but the challenges they present are very different.
On my graduate programme, which lasted 32 months, I rotated around a number of projects in different areas to gain a variety of experience. Most of my time on the graduate programme was spent with my project teams, but I did get together with other graduates for training. This covered a range of technical and business strategy topics, as well as personal development skills such as dealing with pressure.
A highlight of my time on the graduate development programme was when I won Laing O'Rourke's 'graduate of the programme' award. Out of 98 of us, only seven got put forward for it. We each had to suggest recommendations on how to reduce defects in projects and I focused mine around making a wholesale change to the way people approach quality. It was lovely to win, as I had based my set of recommendations on what I was genuinely interested in. I get to go to Australia, which is a great opportunity.
Take pride
Our LGBTQ+ network hasn't been hugely active until fairly recently. When one of our co-chairs stood down, I volunteered as I wasn't sure if anybody else would do it! But now we've gone from having four people on a phone call to having 20+ people at a face-to- face meeting. Some of our initiatives include going on tours of Laing O'Rourke sites and having speakers give talks on best practice. We recently went on a pride march with the construction industry's Building Equality initiative: Laing O'Rourke was one of 23 construction companies all marching under the same banner.
I think the more active our network is the better, as it can help LGBTQ+ graduates to see others out in the workplace. Stonewall's research suggests that 62 per cent of LGBT+ graduates go back into the closet on starting work. For the first few months at Laing O'Rourke I wasn't open myself because I didn't know how being out would be received, but I've never faced any negativity. Among my project team, no one actually cares – which is how it should be. Laing O'Rourke is big on inclusion generally.
Be yourself
My advice to candidates is to make sure that your personality shines through in the interviews because everyone going for that job is likely to have had a similar academic experience. If you're funny outside of work, put that across in a presentation. If you do a lot of charity work or are very sporty, make that part of the interview conversation. Remember that they are hiring you as a person.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucci from A 'Quality' product This is quite simply a 'superb' vacuum cleaner. The Supervac is a cordless, multifunctional cleaner, and can be used in both standard upright and cordless vacuum cleaner modes. It is quiet, lightweight, manoeuvrable and can get into all nooks and crannies especially with the attachments that are supplied. I have used it on carpets , lino and hard floors and the cleaning power of the machine is excellent. The Supervac is supplied with a charging cradle and with the collapsible handle enables storage into limited spaces easier. In summary this is a quality, well designed and engineered cordless vacuum cleaner, and I would recommend it to all without hesitation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scarletangel from Excelled my expectations I own a Gtech, a vax and a Dyson V6 cordless vacuum cleaners, I tried this one and was very impressed, it was far superior to the Gtech & Vax, and although the Dyson is excellent for cleaning, it cost four times more and has a very short battery life compared to the MorphyRichards SuperVac, I therefore find that I use this far more than any of the others, the reason I have so many cordless vacuum cleaners are because I found the Gtech & Vax wasn't good enough at cleaning so bought the Dyson but had I tried the MorphyRichards SuperVac first I would have stuck with that as it does a really good job on both hard floors and carpets & without having to fiddle about changing heads. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chrispbacon from Absolutely love it! This has been my Best Buy for ages!! After having new laminate flooring downstairs I decided I didn't want to use my cumbersome vacuum cleaner (bumping into new kitchen units and furniture, unplugging and moving the cable etc). Got an email from Morphy Richards alerting me to special offers on rechargeable cordless vacuum cleaner - read the (excellent) reviews and decided on this one. Have got to say it is great! Lightweight, very manouverable, quick and easy to use - there's nothing I can say that's negative - oh and got it at an amazing price in the sale too! Even cleans my rugs as well. How can you get so excited about vacuuming? - try it and see!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stuart527 from Great Suction Really surprised how good this 2 in 1 Vacum is, its is very good on hard floors and small pile carpets as it has got great suction and is very easy to manoevre.The hand held part is brilliant for cleaning the furniture the stairs and the car. It sits in the charging / docking station very neatly and the handle folds down for ease of storage and really does not take up much room at all.If this vacum was to ever break i would go out and buy another whitout a doubt its that good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mo S from Effortless cleaning I bought this three weeks ago , friends recommended a cordless vacuum, as this was such a reasonable price I purchased it. Really happy not having to pull my old Henry round. The suction is good enough, I don't use for sustained periods so the battery is fine. It's so light and the swivel head makes it very manouverable. Like the removable hand held section, great for the stairs and car. Use it most days as so handy.... the corded one barely came out once weekly. The dust collecter is very small and I have to empty this most times after use, slightly messy process ( best done outside) but happy to put up with this as love the other features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mortisha1uk from Fantastic vacuum ...i'd be lost without it i brought this about 6 months ago and i love it .....light weight and does the job fantastically .... i'm partially disabled and live alone so its ideal as its light to carry and i think its great that its a 2 in one...even when my grandchildren come over its not a problem as my super vac cleans up after them ...... im still using the same filter too i just give it a good bang on my garden wall to get the dust out and hey presto all ready to go again ..... the only downside is finding spares for them ...my daughter loved it that much she brought one too, but her puppy chewed the rotary brush up and we cant find a replacement anywhere so gonna have a look here on morphy richards site

Rated 5 out of 5 by Robbo from Great little vacuum We bought the SuperVac about 4 weeks ago and do not regret it one bit. It is very light in weight and extremely easy to manoeuvre. The performance is incredible and with the added bonus of the hand-held with additional tools it makes a complete package. Emptying is so simple and takes seconds. It is also very handy for cleaning the inside of the car. It is very compact and takes up no space at all. Not only does it look good, it sounds good and does the job adequately
Date published: 2015-10-10
Rated 4 out of 5 by GeorgeB from So easy to use Great little vacuum - so easy to use and convenient. Perfect for a quick runaround rather than getting my normal, bigger vacuum out. No need to plug it in, just lift it off the charger and away you go! We have a mixture of carpet and wooden floors and it works well on both - wouldn't substitute this for my normal vacuum as house fairly big and we need something a bit more substantial but perfect for those moments when the kids drop cereal all over the floor, especially the detachable smaller hand held vacuum.

Route 9 daagse rondreis Headwater - Back roads of Brittany Self-Guided Cycling
It's almost impossible to resist the appeal of Brittany's spectacular Emerald Coast, with its pink granite cliffs and turquoise seas, wonderful white beaches and deserted little coves. Writers and artists, attracted by the stunning landscapes, dramatic views and vibrant Mediterranean-style colours, have been coming here for centuries, yet the region remains largely unspoilt with much of its original charm still intact. So you'll see locals with shrimping buckets wading the beaches and fishermen cleaning out shells by hand. Be sure to sample the region's signature dish: the seafood platter, piled high with shiny pink lobster, king prawn, silver oysters, scallops and clams, all washed down with refreshingly cold Breton cider.

Poe-Land: The Hallowed Haunts of Edgar Allan Poe by J.W. Ocker
Publisher: Countryman Press (October 6, 2014)
Print Length: 384 pages
Edgar Allan Poe was an oddity: his life, literature, and legacy are all, well, odd. In Poe-Land, J. W. Ocker explores the physical aspects of Poe s legacy across the East Coast and beyond, touring Poe s homes, examining artifacts from his life locks of his hair, pieces of his coffin, original manuscripts, his boyhood bed and visiting the many memorials dedicated to him.
Along the way, Ocker meets people from a range of backgrounds and professions actors, museum managers, collectors, historians who have dedicated some part of their lives to Poe and his legacy. Poe-Land is a unique travelogue of the afterlife of the poet who invented detective fiction, advanced the emerging genre of science fiction, and elevated the horror genre with a mastery over the macabre that is arguably still unrivaled today.
First Sentence
"Edgar Allan Poe was an oddity. His life was odd, his literature is odd, his legacy is odd."
Two hundred and nine years after his birth, Edgar Allan Poe is still enticing readers with his peculiar tales of mystery and the macabre.
I mean, besides my bust of William Shakespeare, the only other author to be included in my apartment's decorating is Poe, with a framed picture of his mournful profile greeting anyone who dare come to visit my humble abode.
And yet, while I have read many of his profound and influential works, I know very little about the man behind the myth.
As I have been on the Ocker train as of late, I felt it was only appropriate to pick up the next book of his on my shelf, Poe-Land: The Hallowed Haunts of Edgar Allan Poe.
The first sentence of the novel says it all, I've gotten myself into an odd situation. I've shed the expectation of reading light and airy summery read in favour of a travelogue that focuses on the life, death, and legacy of an unusual literary figure. And to say I'm not excited would be an extreme understatement. Keep a lookout for a full review in the next few weeks.
_ _ _
And that is my contribution to the Book Beginnings on Friday conversation. What is the first sentence of the book you're reading right now? Leave it as a comment below and let's chat about it.

Chronic Pain: Living With Chronic Pain
Successful treatment of chronic pain requires choosing a life-long plan of wellness that may include doctor services, physical therapy, psychological interventions, and occupational therapy.
What is chronic pain?
Chronic pain is pain that continues beyond the expected period of healing for an illness or injury. In chronic pain, signals of pain remain active in the nervous system for weeks, months, or years.
What are the effects of chronic pain?
Chronic pain can lead to a chronic stress reaction that causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. This stress reaction can lead to harmful health effects, such as a reduced ability to fight off illnesses and diseases. It also can increase the risk for conditions such as heart disease.
Chronic pain's physical effects include:
- Tense muscles
- Limited ability to move about
- Lack of energy, and
- Changes in appetite
The emotional effects include:
- Depression
- Anger
- Anxiety, and
- Fear of re-injury
These fears may slow down a person's ability to return to his or her everyday or leisure activities.
How is chronic pain treated?
The ideal treatment for chronic pain is a broad approach that addresses a person's physical, emotional, and mental needs. Successful treatment requires choosing a life-long plan of wellness that might include:
- Treatment from a doctor
- Physical therapy
- Psychological treatments
- Occupational therapy
What are some self-management tips for a person living with chronic pain?
- Learn how to relax through deep breathing and other stress management techniques.
- Set achievable goals and don't overdo it on good days. Learn to pace yourself.
- Focus on positive thoughts.
- Set a daily schedule that includes time for rest, exercise, and relaxation.
- Join a chronic pain support group and/or find the nearest meeting for the American Pain Society.
- Know your medicines, including expected benefits and side effects. When the costs of medicines are greater than the benefits, ask your doctor if there's a better choice. A medicine is working if it helps you have a normal mood and activity level. If the medicine decreases your desire or ability to be active, ask your doctor about other choices.
- Take all medicines as they are prescribed, but don't hesitate to ask questions. Ask if the medicine that is prescribed is meant to treat symptoms or to manage an underlying disease.
- Cut down on alcohol, or stop drinking alcohol completely. Pain often disrupts sleep, and alcohol can further upset the sleep cycle.
- Quit smoking. Cigarettes can interfere with healing and are a risk factor for developing many diseases, including degenerative disc disease (a leading cause of low back pain).
To manage chronic pain, all aspects of a person's physical and emotional health must be considered. When chronic pain is managed effectively, a person can return to a more productive and fulfilling lifestyle.

Adija has been painting full time for over twenty years. Her paintings reflect landscapes and rather than painting a replica of a tree, she paints the space between. Her paintings are primarily done with a palette knife which allows her to work quickly and allows the paint to work for itself. She refers to her art as "visual poetry."

1. How would you describe President Trump to someone who had never heard of him?
2. How would you describe one of your grandparents to someone who did not know them?
3. How would you describe your spouse to someone who had never met him or her?
4. What are the different levels of relationship involved here? (One is general knowledge—information available to everyone. The second is special knowledge—available through a close relationship. The third is intimate knowledge—known only through a close, intimate relationship.)
God reveals Himself to us through His creation. We see such qualities as intentionality, orderliness, inventiveness, beauty, goodness, cleverness, uniqueness, steadiness and more.
5. What do we know about our God who created both horses and zebras; badgers and beavers; robins and cardinals; cockatoos and buzzards—and the list could go on? (He is a creative God who loves variety!)
God reveals Himself through special revelation in His Word.
But God reveals Himself specifically through Jesus Christ.
Through each of these, beginning with His general revelation, we learn a little more about who God is and how He desires to relate to His creation.
The question each of us must answer is: How do we respond when God reveals Himself to us? In His general revelations do we ignore the evidence around us and proclaim God's creation is simply a freak accident, a big bang that occurred from nothing and made something? In His special revelation do we ignore His Word and proclaim this doesn't apply to me? In His specific revelation do we proclaim this as simply a fairytale made up by weak dreamers?
In Psalm 19, the psalmist described two ways God has given us to help us know Him better. We can learn about God by observing His creation, but He also reveals Himself through His Word.
Seen In Creation! Read Psalm 19:1-6
1. What are the various ways creation is personified in these verses? (Declare; proclaims; pour out speech; communicate knowledge; their words; pitched a tent; rejoices.)
2. Notice all the synonyms for "tell" in verses 1-2. What is the psalmist teaching us through these words?
3. What do the heavens and sky proclaim about God? (The heavens declare the glory of God—the visible representation of the invisible. They also declare the work of God's hands, communicate knowledge even without words.)
Glory refers to God's manifested power and revealed character. God's glory is the outshining, or the expression, of His character.
All people are accountable to God since He reveals Himself through His creation!
4. How do you make sense of the apparent contradiction between verse 3 and 4?
Read Romans 1:19-23.
When our Astronauts made their first trip to orbit the moon they read from Genesis 1:1. After the first Russian Cosmonauts made his trip into space Nikita Khrushchev is quoted as saying "Gagarin flew into space, but didn't see any god there."
5. What do the images in verses 4-6 teach us about God? (Consider one image at a time. Pitched a tent for the sun; groom coming from the bridal chamber; athlete running a course; rising from one end to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.)
God created nature. Nature is not God, so there is never a place to worship it. Nature reveals some of the glory of God, it is not God!
Also note that God created time, but He is not bound by it. God also created the physical laws that govern the universe but He is not bound by those laws!
6. What conclusions can we draw about God by observing His creation? (God is great, mighty, powerful and supreme!)
7. What misconceptions about God might people draw if they only depend upon what they see in creation? (God is withdrawn from us and is not interested in a relationship with His creation.)
We've looked at God's general revelation to us now we will consider His special revelation to us.
Seen In His Word! Read Psalm 19:7-11
The name used for God in the first 6 verses is "Elohim". The name used in verses 7-11 is "Yahweh," which was God's special, covenant name revealed to His people Israel. Most English Bibles render it Lord.
1. "Instruction," "testimony," "precepts," "command," and "ordinances" are all synonyms for what? (God's law.)
God's Word provides people with an infallible guide for living in right relationship with God! The law in God's Word is meant to free us, not place us in bondage. Contrary to what many people believe, a life of freedom comes only by being obedient to God's instructions. He created us and knows what is best for us.
2. How did the psalmist describe each of these synonyms for God's law and the benefit of obedience from his perspective?
God's Law Described Benefit Received
Instruction Perfect Renewing one's life
Testimony Trustworthy Making one wise
Precepts Right A Glad heart
Command Radiant Making eyes light up
Fear Pure Enduring forever
Ordinances Reliable/righteous More desirable than
gold/sweeter than
3. Can we say that everything that is said here is true of Jesus? (Yes! Jesus is the Word made flesh! Therefore all of the truths here are true of Jesus!)
4. What is the final conclusion the psalmist made about God's Word in verse 11? (We are "warned by them" and "there is great reward in keeping them.")
5. How does God's Word help us avoid dangers and traps?
6. If we know there are benefits to keeping God's Word, why do we so easily choose to disregard or disobey it?
7. How does your life show that you treasure God's Word?
Celebrated in His People! Read Psalm 19:12-14
1. How does the focus shift here? (Isn't this a normal, logical progression as we read God's Word and allow it to penetrate our heart with its truth?)
2. What happens in our lives as we read and meditate on God's Word? (Sin is revealed for what it really is. As we apply God's Word to our life hidden or unintentional sin is revealed. We become convicted of our intentional sin.)
3. How do we deceive ourselves about our unintentional sins? (Both intentional and unintentional sins rule over us.)
4. How do we deceive ourselves with intentional (willful) sin? (We think we choose freedom when we choose sin. Yet the result is always bondage to sin. The only true freedom is found in Christ!)
God's Word will always lead us into a greater awareness of our own sinfulness. This isn't necessarily meant to make us feel more guilty but to make us more like Jesus.
5. What role does Scripture play in revealing our faults and sins?
6. How does God use Scripture in our lives to correct us so we can better reflect His character?
Summarize and Challenge!
1. How can the truths described in verses 1-13 become realities in our lives? (Put verse 14 into action.)
2. How can Psalm 19:14 serve as a daily prayer?
God's Spirit will help us control our words, before they exit our lips.
We can't control what thoughts enter our minds, but we can control what thought we entertain or eject.
Our words and our hearts determine the actions we choose.
Challenge: Every morning for the next seven days pray Psalm 19:14 and watch for the ways God answers!
Close by praying Psalm 19:14.

Group Setting Automatic Cancellation
■ Symptom
- Smart audio (Music flow) group setting gets automatically canceled.
■ Checkpoints
- Group setting may get automatically canceled when the alarm rings, the power is turned "on/off"
or the wireless network connection suddenly gets weak.
■ How to fix
1. When the alarm sounds:
- Alarm settings are separate for each speaker, therefore the group setting gets automatically
canceled once the alarm rings for user convenience.
2. When power gets turned "off/on":
- If power is turned off when a group has been set, speaker gets disconnected and group setting
gets canceled as well.
Turn power back on and re-activate group settings.
3. When wireless network goes weak:
- Group settings risks getting cancelled due to interference when wireless network connection goes
weak for whatever reason.
Place speakers in closer range of the AP router.

Full reviews of recent dance performances: nytimes.com/dance. A searchable guide to these and other performances is at nytimes.com/events.
Maria Elena Anaya (Fridays and Saturdays, through Sept. 28) Ms. Anaya, a flamenco artist based in Mexico, travels north with "Eclipsis Flamenco: Encounter of Two Worlds," a collaboration with the director Nora Jacobs. The titular encounter refers to the blending of Spanish and pre-Columbian cultures at the root of modern Mexican life, evoked through dance, live music and poetry by Ms. Anaya and her performers. The close quarters of Dixon Place should only heighten the impact of the stories they have to tell. At 7:30 p.m., Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street, Lower East Side, (212) 219-0736, dixonplace.org; $16 in advance, $20 at the door, $12 for students and 65+. (Siobhan Burke)
★ BEAT Festival (through Sept. 21) The acronym stands for Brooklyn Emerging Artists in Theater, with "theater" broadly defined. It may sound generic, but this largely site-specific festival, founded last year by Stephen Shelley, is anything but, integrating performance into public spaces that could use more creative life. The choreographer Yanira Castro erects a new installation, "Nancy," at Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration, while Storyboard P graces MetroTech Commons and Barclays Center Plaza with his stop-motion style of street dance, among many other events. A full schedule is at beatbrooklyn.com. Various times and locations, (347) 762-3281; up to $20; but many events are free. (Burke)
Roberto Bolle and Friends Gala (Tuesday) In 2007, Mr. Bolle became the first Italian male dancer to achieve the rank of principal at American Ballet Theater, making him an ideal ambassador for the Year of Italian Culture in the United States. As part of that initiative, which began last fall, he recruits some of his most distinguished international colleagues for an evening of solos and pas de deux, including Alina Somova of the Mariinsky Ballet, Maria Kochetkova of San Francisco Ballet, Herman Cornejo of American Ballet Theater and the young Italian dancer Erika Gaudenzi. At 7 p.m., City Center, 131 West 55th Street, Manhattan, (212) 581-1212, nycitycenter.org; $25 to $120. (Burke)
Fall for Dance (Monday and Tuesday) Two free shows in Central Park, hosted by the Public Theater, are just a warm-up for this festival's 10-day (and 10th-anniversary) extravaganza at City Center from Sept. 25 to Oct. 5. The lineup for the open-air performances includes members of New York City Ballet in Ulysses Dove's "Red Angels," Paul Taylor Dance Company in its effervescent "Esplanade," Ronald K. Brown's invigorating "Upside Down" (with live music) and the dancers (or are they superheroes?) of STREB Extreme Action Company. As with the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park, tickets will be in high demand. Free tickets, two per person, will be distributed at noon at the Delacorte Theater on the day of the show and through a virtual ticketing lottery (at shakespeareinthepark.org). (Rain date is Wednesday.) At 8 p.m., Delacorte Theater, Central Park, near 81st Street and Central Park West, (212) 539-8750; free. (Burke)
'Forever Tango' (Friday through Sunday) Luis Bravo's popular tango sensation concludes its run on Broadway this weekend. In his review for The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay wrote that the music was the highlight of the show: "Some of the most irresistible tangos here are those played with no dancing. You can feel the tango's sensual march, its percussive footwork, its romantic drive." Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m., Wednesdays and Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m., Walter Kerr Theater, 219 West 48th Street, Manhattan, (212) 239-6200, forevertango.us, telecharge.com; $30 to $199. (Burke)
★ Liz Gerring (Thursday through Sept. 22) Ms. Gerring unveils her largest-scale work to date, with a title suggestive of its scope: "glacier." Set to a score of the same name by her frequent collaborator Michael J. Schumacher, with lighting by Robert Wierzel, the dance celebrates wide-open space as much as physical intricacy and intimacy. Ms. Gerring's daring, rock-steady performers take us along for the ride. Thursday and next Friday at 7:30 p.m., Alexander Kasser Theater, Montclair State University, 1 Normal Avenue, Montclair, (973) 655-5112, peakperfs.org; $20. (Burke)
Susan Hefuna and Luca Veggetti (Monday through Wednesday) The notion of human movement as a form of drawing may not be new (MoMA's 2011 On Line series and the work of Gwen Welliver come to mind), but that doesn't make it any less intriguing. In "NOTATIONOTATIONS," Ms. Hefuna (a German multimedia artist) and Mr. Veggetti (an Italian choreographer) investigate the idea through video and live performance. Ms. Hefuna's network of chalk lines, sketched on the floor of the Drawing Center, doubles as a stage for Mr. Veggetti's dancers, who will gradually erase her work. At 7 p.m., 35 Wooster Street, SoHo, (212) 219-2166, drawingcenter.org; $5, $3 for students. (Burke)
Leimay (Friday through Sunday) This technologically curious company, led by Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya (whom dancegoers may know as the couple behind the New York Butoh Festival), presents "Becoming-Corpus," a work for eight performers and six video projections. Against an echoing, atmospheric score, the artists ask what it might mean to "wear" sound and light, playing at the interface between the body and less tangible mediums. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 6 p.m., Fishman Space, Fisher Building, Brooklyn Academy of Music, 321 Ashland Place, near Lafayette Avenue, Fort Greene, Brooklyn, (718) 636-4100, bam.org; $20 to $30.

'The Metamorphosis' (Tuesday through Sept. 29) This rendering of the Kafka novella, choreographed by Arthur Pita, went over well in London, where the Royal Ballet principal Edward Watson earned a 2012 Olivier Award for his leading role as Gregor Samsa. New York now gets a look at Mr. Watson's portrayal of the traveling salesman who awakes one morning as a giant insect (much to his family's dismay). Literal or metaphorical, the tale is said to be in good, nuanced hands with Mr. Pita and his collaborators.

Megan V. Sprenger/MV Works (Wednesday through Sept. 21) In the premiere of "Flutter," the Chocolate Factory's first show of the season, Ms. Sprenger explores what it means to be vulnerable, compassionate and fully oneself. Her dancers tread the line between abstraction and plot, letting their idiosyncrasies guide them. At 8 p.m., Chocolate Factory, 5-49 49th Avenue, Long Island City, Queens, (866) 811-4111, chocolatefactorytheater.org; $15. (Burke)

Honda's CBR300R is proof that fun comes in all sizes. This bike delivers a giant dose of it - way out of proportion to its engine size. Whether this is your first bike or you have a garage full of them, the CBR300R is a blast to ride. Its single-cylinder engine provides a wide torque spread that performs well in-town or on the freeway, and offers excellent fuel efficiency. Plus, its narrow single-cylinder engine makes it easier to sit on the bike and get your feet on the ground at stops. But the CBR300R really comes alive on twisty roads, where its light weight and nimble handling chew up the curves.

Topic: How our churches and organizations can engage in discipleship.
Discipleship is key to the work of ministry and the health of the local church. Many of us went into church ministry to make disciples of Jesus, but it is not uncommon to feel as leaders that our work ends up involving many other pressing needs.
There are many different ways to create environments in our local churches that grow disciples of Jesus. This month we want to learn from one another and discuss how our churches and organizations can engage in discipleship. We will explore how to cultivate flexible methods that all center around the same goal of forming disciples of Jesus.

The idea for creating a home art space for kids came when our kitchen table started to be filled with paper, glue, pens and our kids wanted their art to stay for days. It was driving me crazy! I kept trying to clear it to one side when we ate dinner, and I finally realized that their art was more than a 15 minute activity to fill time; it was a treasure they had created as a way to express themselves and we needed more. More room, more time, more expression, more art. To be honest, it was a pretty simple solution: clean out and take over the back room of our basement which was filled with boxes and boxes of, ahem, junk.
I wasn't exactly sure of where to start so I started scrolling and scrolling through Pinterest, my favourite way to escape into design heaven and I began adding all of the spaces I loved to my Kids Art Studio board.
Here are some of the ideas for art spaces that I found and loved.
Megan's home art studio has gone insanely viral and I can fully imagine having a playdate with her kids here. I love how friendly and inviting this space is and amazingly, she designs creative art spaces for kids through her site, The Art Pantry. Creating an art studio is an INSANE amount of work and I admire Megan for doing this for clients.
I just love how the bookshelves take over the space below creating an atmosphere that I can imagine any little one whittling hours away in. I still love chalkboards, kid sized play tables and that whimsical air balloon mobile is dreamy too.
I saved this space because it appears to not have windows like the actual space we have in our basement. I liked the wall shelves but still fear an earthquake in Vancouver so knew that any art needed to be secured to the wall in our art room. I think I like how busy but clean this space is, the intentional lighting and the number of seats at the table. Again...hours and hours of art could happen here!
Clipboards and jars! Simple tools that work...YES!!! I mean, look how much you can store (and see!) in those jars. Yup, I definitely needed jars.
The idea that I saw and KNEW I had to have was giant pegboard. Here is the inspo right here! This tutorial was helpful and the result (although a bit tricky) is so, SO amazing!
As you know, I love simplicity. Ideas just don't have to be fancy (or pricey or hard!) to be so, so good. The below, a piece of rope and some wooden clothes pegs is just right for hanging kids art. I love this idea and knew we needed to use wall space a little like this to showcase special pieces.
I just can't wait to share our space this week. I love these spaces and love how versatile art rooms for kids are too. You can play there, read, paint, colour, draw, build anything you can dream up. Even a tiny little art nook is just so, so worth it.

Why You Need a Personal Mission Statement
Do you sometimes feel lost on your daily path? Do you know where you're headed and, more importantly, why?
Most people are going through life where they're just existing. They make it through each day, crash in bed at night, wake up the next day and do it all again without too much thought. Now, that's not to say they're unhappy with their life! But, I'm betting in most of these cases, there's an underlying sense of unfulfillment that they're either aware of and ignoring, or is so hidden they can't even see it.
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
What if you could put more purpose in your life? What if you could give yourself a driving reason behind what you do and clearly identify where you want to go?
It might take some thinking, but it is possible without breaking too much of a sweat!
In fact, a great place to start is by creating your own personal mission statement!
Taking a Closer Look at Mission Statements
@@The beauty of a mission statement is that it helps you get focused on why you do what you do and what you want to get out of life!@@
Let's take a closer look at how mission statements are used by companies and then we'll look at how you can use them personally...
Companies & Organizations
Did you know that every single company and organization out there has a mission statement? It's true! A mission statement is a key piece of every company's strategy, marketing campaign, and underlies every product based decision.
It gives the company a broad direction on who they are as a company and what they aim to do (i.e the value they will provide to others).
Here are a few examples:
Starbucks: To inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time
Facebook: Founded in 2004, Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.
Amazon: Our vision is to be Earth's most customer centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online.
Do you see how these tie in with what we know about these companies?
But, why should companies have all the fun?!
Here's the cool thing...mission statements aren't limited to just companies. You can create one for your life!
Taking the time to create one for yourself and your life can make a big change in how you live your life every single day.
You might be wondering why a simple sentence or two will make such an impact in your life, am I right?
There are several reasons why mission statements are so powerful:
It allows you to get clear on your purpose, where you're going, and what you want to get out of life.
You get to know yourself better…you have to do a little digging to figure out what you like, who you are, and what's important to you.
It helps you connect the dots in your life.
As you can see, it's one powerful little sentence!!
To give you yet another example, here's my personal mission statement:
Define Your Mission
I feel so strongly about wanting you to have a mission statement for your life, that I've put together a 5 day e-Course to walk you through the process of digging in and figuring out your powerful purpose-filled statement to get you on the right path.
And guess what?
You might be wondering...why is it free???
I'm giving this to you because I feel so strongly about everyone having the opportunity to enhance their life with a mission statement.
That's it! No strings attached! (except you might get the occasional motivating email from me going forward, but you're welcome to take yourself off the list after you finish the e-course if that is of no interest to you!)
What's covered in the course
In this 5 day course, we go through 5 different lessons:
Day 1: Define your Why: Your WHY is your vision for your life. Where do you want to go? What do you want to accomplish?
Day 2: Define your Who: Your WHO includes all your passions and things that bring you joy in life. We don't want to craft a mission statement without including the things we're passionate about!
Day 3: Define your How: Your HOW covers all your strengths. What are you good at? What unique talents do you have that you can tap into for your success? We're going to find out so we can make sure you're using those to get where you want to go!
Day 4: Define your Values: Your VALUES define who you are at the core. They underlie every decision you make whether you realize it or not, so its time to highlight the main values that drive you so you can focus on those in your life mission.
Day 5: Define your Mission: Your MISSION…the simple statement that pulls together who you are, why you do what you do, how you do it, and what values align with your true self. We'll pull all of this together to write a succinct mission statement to drive your life and reach your life purpose.
At the end of the course, you'll have a statement unique to you and your journey! When you're presented with different opportunities and you're not clear on which path to take, weigh it against your mission statement and see where it stacks up!
This new e-Course opens it's doors on Monday, March 28 (that's next week!!)!
If you'd like to get on the right path, then sign up below and watch your inbox for the lessons next week!

American Players Theatre
American Players Theatre (APT) is a classical theater located just south of Spring Green, Wisconsin. It includes a 1,089-seat outdoor amphitheater.
APT sits on 110 acres (0.45 km2) of woods and meadow just off the Wisconsin River across Wisconsin Highway 23 from Frank Lloyd Wright's studio Taliesin. Founded in 1980, APT has grown rapidly in recent years, with more than 100,000 patrons attending performances each year. It currently claims to have the second largest audience in the United States for outdoor classical theater.[1]
APT typically produces 116 performances of nine plays running in repertory from June to November. In 2009, APT opened the new, indoor Touchstone Theatre. With 200 seats, the Touchstone provides an intimate, complementary space to the outdoor amphitheater, and allows for new genres to grace an APT stage. APT's repertoire consists primarily of plays by Shakespeare and other noted (usually Western) playwrights, such as George Bernard Shaw, Anton Chekhov, and Molière. Three of the plays at "the hill theatre" are typically Shakespeares, with some 20th-century productions performed on both the Hill and the Touchstone.
A significant part of APT's mission is its education program. APT works with schools and educators to teach students both about Shakespeare and other classic dramatic works, and about the theater in general. Each season, APT offers student matinees during school hours in the fall. The actors of APT also conduct in-school workshops.
APT offers picnic dinners and a picnic area for those who bring their own food to enjoy before the show. Thursday night shows are billed as "Skippeth-Out-Of-Work-Early Thursday Nights".
APT was co-founded by Randall Duk Kim, Anne Occhiogrosso and Charles Bright. Kim was the artistic director and mainstay lead actor for 15 years before reviving a movie career after a dispute with the board of directors.[2] David Frank became Artistic Director in 1993 and successfully served until 2013. Brenda DeVita, after serving as Associate Artistic Director for 10 years became Artistic Director in 2014.

Our world at a crossroads
Any thinking person understands that our world is at a cross roads.
"Business as usual" means large-scale environmental and social calamity in the decades to come.
There is the threat of climate change, which is warming the Earth, producing higher sea levels, and more powerful weather events.
Eventually, as these changes become more dramatic, we will all bear witness to unprecedented people movement--so called "climate refugees"-- as people seek more stable and habitable places to live out their lives.
There is the threat of large-scale extinction. We are in the middle of the Sixth Extinction, meaning that this is the sixth time in Earth's history that life will be wiped out. Scientists also call this the "Holocene Extinction," which refers to the fact that the extinction is being caused by humans.
In fifty to sixty years time, less than one or two generations, the Earth will look dramatically different.
The human race is completely unprepared for this.
How should thinking people deal with all of this?
The answer lies in finding one's Life's Work.
A "Life's Work" is the positive and unique legacy that any person can leave behind after they are gone.
I believe that those of us who are alive today are here at this time to discover our Life's Work, and that there is a relationship between each person's Life Work, and the fate of the human race.
In other words, by discovering and engaging in our Life's Work--why we are here at this moment in history--any person can begin to contribute to a positive legacy, a legacy that by its very nature will help build peace and environmental harmony in the decades to come.
In looking at the crossroads, each of us may be helpless to create "top-down" change. Even the powers of world leaders have their limits; even they are not able to truly make significant changes in order to avoid the catastrophes that lie ahead.
But each of us has tremendous power to create "bottom-up" change. Each of us can respond to the ongoing crises now affecting our planet by asking why we are here, what our purpose is, and what we want to leave behind after we have left the Earth: our Life's Work.
In creating that Life's Work, we actually set the stage for a personal journey that can have a tremendous impact on other people, and for the world. In creating that Life's Work, we are expressing the fact that things are not okay right now and need to change, and that the only way to make that change is through committed personal action.
There is still time to make a huge difference. We are at the crossroads, not past the crossroads. Each of us can choose a different path and participate in a spiritual and personal quest that lets us not only discover who we really are, but also aids other people and the planet at the same time.
In these times, we can no longer walk down the path of "business as usual." The path of inner discovery, in creating and maintaining a Life's Work: this is the only logical path.

The Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbekistan) is situated in Central Asia between the Amudarya and Syrdarya rivers. Covering approximately 448 900 square kilometres (km2), Uzbekistan is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north and west, by Kyrgyzstan to the east and Tajikistan to the southeast, and by Turkmenistan and Afghanistan to the south (https://www.gov.uz/ru/pages/territory).
In 2016, Uzbekistan's population was 31.57 million, 2 394 320 of which resided in the capital of Tashkent (www.stat.uz).
Rich in natural gas resources, Uzbekistan is the third-largest gas producer in the region, behind Russia and Turkmenistan. The energy sector accounted for around 20% of gross domestic product (GDP) and 15% of industrial output in (2016), and energy exports (predominantly gas) accounted for 17.3% of total commodity
Other significant exports are gold, copper and cotton. Real GDP amounted to USD 67.22 billion in 2016, a 29.7% increase from 2012. In addition, GDP per capita grew by 26%, from USD 1 740 in 2012 to USD 2 200 in 2016. The economy has been growing without any recessions since the mid-1990s (Read more).
Despite being energy self-sufficient, Uzbekistan's ageing electricity infrastructure and network underinvestment have led to electricity shortages, inefficiency, high losses and low reliability. At the same time, growing domestic demand and demand for gas and oil exports have put pressure on the country to increase production and hasten investment in export pipelines, increasing the need for foreign direct investment. Substantial funding is needed to improve the efficiency of Uzbekistan's existing infrastructure while increasing the productivity and profitability of the natural gas and oil sectors.
The investment climate in the country has improved since 2007 owing to legislative packages that benefit private investors, but challenges remain. Efforts to attract investment include offering privileges, financial incentives and guarantees for foreign investors, such as special investment zones and tax breaks. Investor disincentives, however, include bureaucratic barriers and unfavourable currency regulation.
Energy sector development is important for Uzbekistan's long-term goal of becoming an industrialised middle-income economy by 2030. The World Bank is supporting and assisting Uzbekistan in implementing these plans.
To expand the use of renewable energy sources, reduce energy intensity of production and implement the Strategy of Actions on Five Priority Directions of Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021, presidential Decree No. PP-3012 of 26 May 2017 on the Program of Measures on the Further Development of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Sectors of the Economy and the Social Sphere for 2017-2021 was adopted.
Other goals of the Strategy of Actions 2017-2021 are to radically increase the effectiveness of ongoing reforms and create conditions for comprehensive and accelerated state and societal development, modernisation of the country and liberalisation of all spheres of life. The five priorities for the country's development are to:
Roadmaps are also planned to develop co‑operation with foreign partners in the political and diplomatic spheres, to radically develop and expand trade, economic investment and technological advances, and to promote financial and technical co‑operation. UZS (Uzbekistani so'm) 37.7 trillion (USD 8.3 billion) will be allocated for implementing all measures of the state programme.
Energy sector priorities to 2027 include increasing generating capacity, improving energy efficiency in the energy, transport and agriculture sectors, and using renewable energy sources more widely.
