The heart of San Diego's Art & Design District is the monolithic Art Studio building at 2400 Kettner Blvd. But where the building meets the street, half of the storefront space sits empty. Aside from San Diego Harley Davidson, Antiques on Kettner and Patrick Moore Gallery, huge holes left by the closures of Adorn Furniture and David Zapf Gallery remain unfilled.
Inside, on most days, the yellow halls, lined with closed gray metal doors, are empty.
To be fair, you'll probably see Perry Meyer, with his long gray hair and glasses, sitting in front of his computer in his gallery surrounded by a collection of 17th-century and contemporary prints. And you might walk by an open interior-design studio, a photography studio or Colosseum Fine Arts, but the building undeniably lacks the massive amount of creative energy that could be pumping from its walls. Kathleen Carin, assistant director of Scott White Contemporary Art, which recently left 2400 Kettner for its new home at 939 West Kalmia St., said high rent and a lack of an effective marketing plan are factors.
In a back-alley building, though, just around the corner, metal robots, wooden dragons, urban trees and steel Zen sculptures are given life. Amid the sounds of jet engines passing overhead and the trains and trolleys running few feet away, there's a cacophony of air pumps, welding machines and buzz saws emanating from inside the studios at 2309 and 2310 Kettner-it's a veritable industrial madhouse.
Residents-a mix of obsessive creators-have split the building into workspaces where they can individually think, design and create. Their creations hang on walls or sit on dusty shelves and worktables in various states of completion.
"I did that," says Greg Brotherton, the newcomer to the space, pointing to a miniature robot man in what looks like a Medieval time machine. "And I've got these guys-these three prisoners that are sort of these Kafka-inspired, cockroach-looking people."

Brotherton erupts into the kind of nervous and friendly laughter you might expect from a mad scientist or an artistic genius; Brotherton is decidedly both.
"This one's a little grim," he continues, "but to me, it looks a lot like a building, and these cages are office cubicles. So, it's kind of a metaphor for corporate America, I guess."
A few months ago, Brotherton left behind his own version of corporate America-the trenches of Hollywood, where he was spending 32 hours straight designing graphics for movies and television-and returned to the relative calm of San Diego, where, 10 years ago, he worked as a designer at Image Comics in La Jolla. For the moment, he's leaving graphic design behind, focusing all his visibly intense energy on his sculptures. Upwards of 400 hours can go into just one of the giant robots, atomic weapons or so-called "Brotron death rays" he designs.
"What I do," he explains while flipping a coaster around and around, "I kind of conceive of the piece roughly, then build a skeleton if it's a figurative work, and then I'll wire-frame the musculature and form. Then I make patterns on top of the wire, and then I hammer-form and English-wheel all the pieces. So, all the pieces basically get formed with a hammer, and then I'll roll them back and forth [with the English-wheel] to get them smooth. So, yes, it's incredibly time consuming."
And after he's done all that, the pieces, including each robot's tiny fingers, are welded together, a skill Brotherton taught himself.
"I had no idea what I was doing," he says. "That's probably not the best way to learn, but I did learn. The Internet is an amazing learning tool, and you can pretty much reverse-engineer projects. Just find something similar-like, if you want to form steel, look to the automobile industry and read all their tech bulletins and find out how they do it. It's probably reinventing the wheel every time, but you learn a lot doing it. And it's fun."
Brotherton's wife makes fun of him for staying up late reading those engineering manuals, but he describes his need to learn about and make contraptions as both an obsession and a way to escape boredom. Though it's not that he doesn't have a lot to do-he and his wife are opening their Device Gallery on July 19 in La Jolla, and he's been busy curating the opening show, Fantastic Contraptions.
"I just kind of do what the boredom dictates right now," he says. "I do what's the most fascinating to drive me forward."
Joey Vaiasuso (photo by Kinsee Morlan)
Across the way from Brotherton, Joey Vaiasuso is working on his current obsession-his tall, sleek, corten-steel urban tree, commissioned by the Port of San Diego, set to become, in August, the fifth of the port's Urban Trees exhibit.
Vaiasuso only recently started working with steel, but it looks like his new love might stick around-he just scored a commission from a well-to-do client.
Metal might be Vaiasuso's future, but his past has been all about wood. Working under the name Wood FX, Vaiasuso's bread-and-butter is cabinetry for high-end homes, and his side business is wood furniture and sculpture. In a small showroom at 4219 Park Blvd., Vaiasuso still displays some of his best woodwork. (It recently suffered fire damage, evident from the still-visible smoke damage, but his work wasn't damaged.)
Whatever you do, though, don't call Vaiasuso a "woodworker." Sure, he works with wood, turning it into simple and clean, mid-century-inspired furniture and art pieces, but Vaiasuso despises the term.
"I'm turned off by the whole crafty feel of things," he says. "There's a fine line for me where it gets a little too crafty. I like the clean, modern, minimal lines. I'm more about the design of the pieces rather than so much the wood. You could go to so many woodworking galleries and it's just so-woodworky."
Vaiasuso has a few of his older, more abstract wood sculptures hanging on the walls around him. A beautiful rosewood bench and chair are pushed to the side and a drum set sits smack in the middle. Vaiasuso plays drums in his new band, Black Train Highway; Matt Devine, the steel sculptor in the workshop next door, plays guitar and sings. At night, they use the shop as a practice space.

When Devine isn't playing guitar or writing songs, he's hidden behind a welding mask, trying to find order in chaos. Those who follow design are familiar with Devine's welding skills. He left behind more practical metal-design gigs to focus on sculpture full-time three years ago. Since then, he's been featured in just about every local publication.
Perhaps what makes the man such a media magnet is his resemblance to Tom Cruise-if Tom had a beard. Or maybe it's his cute dog Buddy, who hangs out in the shop. More than likely, it's the quality of Devine's work that gets the attention.
Most often described as meditative or Zen-like, in one of his signature sculptural styles, hundreds of curved rods are interlaced in a seemingly random form to create an overall appearance of order. It's like looking at a Jackson Pollock painting in 3-D. And in his other seemingly opposite style, he manages to make huge chunks of steel look lightweight, organic and harmonious.
"I'm definitely looking for something in my work," Devine explains. "I'm looking for balance, some sort of balance, some sort of harmony or peacefulness in this complete just mess of chaos. I think that's what I'm looking for with all these pieces."
Most of the time, he finds it. Devine's work can be seen suspended from a few of local architect/developer Jonathan Segal's buildings, as well as in the homes and yards of La Jollans who've followed stride. He also currently has a solo show at Spacecraft Gallery in North Park.

At the head of it all, near the dusty white garage door entrance to the bustling industrial creative space, Gary McNeil and John Miles of Creative Inlay make high-end wood furniture for their interior-designer clientele who wander in every once in awhile with very specific needs, often involving ebony.
"We're making a piece of furniture right now that costs more than my truck," Miles laughs.
On the side, between clients walking in wanting things, McNeil and Miles get to practice their beloved ancient art of marquetry, which, simply put, involves cutting up wood and piecing it back together to make designs, patterns or, in the case of Miles and McNeil, intricate images of dragons, beachscapes or ancient symbols like the yin/yang or the Kabbalah Tree of Life.
Up to 10 or more different types of wood can be used in just one piece of marquetry, so a big part of the artistry comes down to using the varying wood grains as a form of expression and texture. Another part of the artistry is coming up with the original design, which McNeil and Miles do by hand and then scan into a digital file.
The computer, coupled with a laser cutter the two just bought, has really changed the way their marquetry is done.
McNeil, who's been working with wood for more than 20 years, used to do all his work by hand, cutting out each piece of wood with a surgeon's scalpel. The work was grueling, and it kept him from using hard woods like rosewood.
"It was time-consuming and very labor-intensive," he says. "It was so labor-intensive I could never really get [the money] it was worth."
"Some people will say, Well, hand-cutting is the craft,'" adds Miles-who met McNeil back when he ran a coffee cart called Hipster Coffee in the Gaslamp, and who still makes a mean latte with a smiley face out of foam in the makeshift coffee stand he's set up in the kitchen area of the woodshop-"but I think it's the piece itself, because no one's going to come down here and see us cutting. Only another woodworker would say, Oh wow, is that hand-cut?'"
"Most woodworkers don't even care whether you cut it with a laser or a hacksaw," McNeil chimes in.
When the two aren't making furniture or working on their marquetry, which, by the way, won a few awards at the Design in Wood competition and exhibition at this year's San Diego County Fair, McNeil's playing flute and Miles is playing guitar and singing in the tapestry-covered recording studio they set up in the back of the shop.
"If the woodworking doesn't pan out," McNeil laughs, "we could always stand on the corner playing music with a hat out."

Jules Wilson (photo by James Norton)
There's a funny episode of Will and Grace in which Grace, an interior designer, finds out the handsome stranger she's been flirting with in her office writes greeting cards for a living. "Isn't that kind of lame?" she asks. The guy, bemused, looks around her loft and quips-and this may be slightly paraphrased-"From the tassels, I presume you work for UNICEF?" Touché.
"Tassels?" exclaims Jules Wilson, founder of Jules Wilson ID, the design firm behind Downtown's FIT Athletic Club and Pacific Beach's recently reopened Limónz. "That's so funny."
At 34, Wilson runs a seriously booked small business that includes three other full-time interior designers and an architect. There are no tassels-or slipcovers and throws, for that matter-anywhere in their airy workspace.
"If you're an interior designer, being called a decorator is kind of an insult," Wilson explains. "A decorator is someone who selects furnishings and accessories and artwork-who basically decorates a room. An interior designer builds spaces."
So maybe it's not UNICEF, but it is a big job involving construction, lighting design, custom pieces, building permits and working with engineers. There's decoration involved, too, but that's merely the icing on the meticulously baked cake.
"People always say, Oh, your job is so fun!'" Wilson says. "They underestimate that you have to bring all these parts and pieces together in the time and on the budget that you've promised a client. It requires serious coordination. I look at people who are planning weddings and I think, Honey, I could plan that in half a day!"
Sitting in a booth at the back of Neighborhood, the hip burger joint next door to her Downtown open-plan office, Wilson sips a glass of white wine and smiles girlishly. A diamond sparkles on her left ring finger.
"Maybe I'm exaggerating a little," she concedes, possibly in deference to stressed-out bridezillas everywhere. But after spending a couple of hours with Wilson, you get the feeling that she really could plan any wedding-including her own-in a single afternoon. She's just got a finger-snapping, make-it-happen air about her.
She won't let her employees call her boss, though.
"No, they're not allowed to," she insists.
So, what do they call her? Jules, naturally.
"Also, we all have secret-agent names."
Though Wilson refuses to disclose hers on-the-record (too bad, cause it's good), the fact that she and her professional colleagues have secret-agent names points to what may be Wilson's greatest strength as an interior designer and a boss: playfulness. It's part of the reason she started her own business three years ago.
She'd been working in the field since she was 19 and found herself increasingly frustrated. She was bringing in clients only to have the work farmed out to other designers. She also wasn't getting the financial appreciation she wanted.
At one firm, Wilson contemplated becoming a partner with her boss. But, she says, "her ideas about running a business were old-school while mine are really new-school. I wanted to run things different than a typical design firm. We work in an open environment. We collaborate."
Playing well with others-both in the office and outside of it-is clearly a component of Wilson's success. She says she initially chose interior design over architecture because designers get more face-to-face time with clients, whether they're a 20-person committee handling a huge high-rise or a couple rethinking their multimillion-dollar pad. When they hand over a check with lots of zeroes, they want to trust the woman who's cashing it.
Playfulness is also an important facet of her design aesthetic, though in a less literal way than, say, whimsical Jonathan Adler. Wilson says her biggest inspiration is Kelly Wearstler, whose personal style and sensational baroque-pop designs (the Viceroy hotels, in particular) have made Wearstler a household name.
"I think we both like the modern, retro, glamour feel," says Wilson, who pores over fashion magazines and covets designs by Tory Burch and Michael Kors. "I love a glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle."
"Glamour" means different things to different people, as Wilson demonstrates with the design of FIT, the super-exclusive 40,000-square-foot athletic club-er, "urban fitness retreat"-in East Village. The locker rooms, stocked with Aveda products, are very Zen, and equipment rooms are sleek and minimalist. The workout area, though, gets gritty with chain-link fencing and a graffiti wall. (It's South Beach's Setei Hotel meets Fight Club, Wilson says.)
She has a membership to FIT, but wandering around in workout clothes in front of her clients isn't ideal. Salsa dancing, Wilson says, is what keeps her svelte and sane. "I have a private lesson every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., and when I get there I am Ready. To. Dance."
She likes to explain big things with simple analogies. Life, Wilson says, is "a gift." It should be fun to unwrap. And dancing-what's more playful than dancing?-"is the free parking space." In other words: the icing on the cake.
The man who'll salsa-dance her to the end of love (to misquote Leonard Cohen) is fiancé Juan Pasalagua. ("That's pass the water' in Spanish, Wilson giggles.) She joined forces with Pasalagua and his brother to open Limónz, a new gourmet-salad spot in Pacific Beach.
The décor plays up eye-popping greens and oranges that mimic the farm-fresh ingredients. The wall art is silly-a large-scale photo of a woman with widened eyes and crisp lettuce stuffed in her mouth, for example-but memorable. And it was all done on a tight budget befitting a small business.
As an interior designer, Wilson's already proved that in this town, even a small business can become a big fish in the sea. Originally from Chicago, Wilson says she's stuck around San Diego because unlike well-established design Meccas like London or Los Angeles or New York, this place is still going somewhere.
"It has the capacity to be a really good city," she says. "It's flourishing in so many ways, including design. I like the idea of being a part of that."

San Diego isn't exactly the type of city people refer to as an "epicenter of design."
"It's tough because there are a lot of really great artists and designers in San Diego," says Don Hollis, co-founder of Subtext, a design-focused bookstore and gallery space in Little Italy. "Unfortunately, the market here doesn't support their work, and many of them end up leaving."
But Hollis and his Subtext partner, Dylan Jones, hope their bookstore will eventually slow this exodus of artists and, with the help of other design professionals in the community, reverse the flow so that San Diego can be recognized as a place where quality design is not only cultivated, but also able to flourish.
Hollis graduated from the Art Institute of Philadelphia in 1990 and worked briefly as an art director at a Philadelphia ad agency before coming to San Diego in 1992 to start his own design firm.
After about a year of "getting my feet on the ground," Hollis launched Hollis Brand Communications Inc. and has since built up a remarkable portfolio of work. Among his firm's more noteworthy clients are Chive restaurant in the Gaslamp, D'lush Beverage Joint, Tower23 Hotel in Pacific Beach, contemporary restaurant/bar George's at the Cove and the Hard Rock Hotel.
Jones has a number of reputable clients included in his résumé, as well. Having studied architecture at UNLV and eventually transferred to the Advertising Arts College (now the Art Institute of California-San Diego), Jones worked for eight years as art director at Solana Beach firm Parker White before landing at MiresBall, where he does branding and design for companies like Qualcomm, Gateway, Shure microphones and Taylor Guitars.
"Design is about problem solving," Jones says. "It's beyond pretty pictures and shapes. It's problem solving from a visual sense."
"It's storytelling," Hollis adds. "Visual storytelling and communication. It informs, it engages, it makes people react, it helps them find their way."
The search for superior design, Hollis says, involves looking for that which endures.
"When [design] is done right, it provides a message that lasts," he explains. "It's an image that is meaningful over time, something that doesn't age, something that isn't trend-dependent, something that solves a problem and does it well. It's something that will hopefully stand the test of time."
Hollis points to AIGA (formerly the American Institute of Graphic Arts), a national design organization with more than 16,000 members, that has identified a process of design involving three basic steps, the first of which is "defining the problem."
Once the problem has been outlined, Hollis explains, the "innovating phase" begins; the goals and objectives are clarified and the desired outcome is envisioned.
The final step in the AIGA process, Hollis says, is "generating value-testing it, prototyping it, putting it out in the marketplace to see how people react to it."
"After all of those steps," he says, "you come back around to step one and reevaluate what you have done. Look at the problem again, define it and decide how well your outcome solves it."
Amid the complexities of designing for clients, the bookstore became a way for the pair to satiate their creative hunger.
"There's a great bookstore in Santa Monica called Hennessey & Ingalls," Hollis says. "You can pick a subject-art, architecture, design. They're an authority on the topic just in terms of the amount of information they carry. You're always thirsty for that."
"Subtext is an artistic endeavor for us," Jones explains. "It's our creative expression."
While Hollis says stores like Hennessey & Ingalls appear in Los Angeles and San Francisco by the dozens, in San Diego, one has to "scrape to find even one or two that are somewhat inspiring."
Creating Subtext "was kind of a selfish interest," Hollis admits. "The idea was first feeding that inspiration we were looking for and hoping that other designers in the community would gravitate towards the same idea."
"It just came naturally," Jones adds, smiling. "So far, it's been great. We have tons of design books that are a great resource, but above that, doing the events that we do every four to six weeks, I feel like we're filling this little cultural void."
Hollis says he knows of many artists who have moved away from San Diego in search of markets where they can earn a better living.
"We're trying to bring [those artists] back to San Diego and trying to keep them here," he says. "There haven't been enough galleries that focus on this type of work. Instead of knowing that there is more success up north or in New York or somewhere else, we're really committed to San Diego. This is what Subtext is about."
What do Hollis and Jones see for the future of design in this city?
"There's a much younger crowd coming down here now," Jones says. "A lot more urban development. It's helping places like ours do things that are more cultural. It's bringing more art and music events."
"Five years ago," Hollis interjects, "San Diego hit its design puberty.' It's now coming of age, but it's still maturing."
Revealing one of his theories as to why San Diego hasn't yet become a design metropolis, Hollis argues that the city doesn't have enough prominent art schools. With stronger art programs, he says, San Diego will see a larger influx of art students who want to remain here after graduating.
"A serious art program," he explains, "is a really great foundation for that kind of cultural movement within a city."
As for the direction in which San Diego design is headed, Jones says he's optimistic.
"[Design] has changed a lot here over the last few years," he says, "and with each year it definitely gets better and better."

knit your library, vol. 6
I realized I never posted two of my February finishes for my knit your library challenge! First up, my first ever pair of tube socks. Kiddo likes them, so a second pair is already on the needles!
Pattern: Child's tube sock recipe (free!), link to my Ravelry project page
Needles: size 1.5
Yarn: Paton's Kroy Socks Stripes in Mexicala colorway
Mods: None!
And I went to an old favorite pattern of mine, for a quick finish hat for me! This is the lowbrow hat, which I knit at least six times two years ago (around this time of year, too!). The yarn is new though--Tanis Fiber Arts aran weight in the lemongrass colorway. Swooon. LOVE this!
Pattern: lowbrow hat (my Rav project page)
Needles: size 4 and size 7
Yarn: Tanis Fiber Arts aran weight, lemongrass
Mods: Nada!
After my leap year cast on craziness, the two projects that have gotten any love that qualify for the knit your library challenge are these two. I've finished the front and back set up for the top-down set-in sleeve pattern using my Ann Budd book, and now I'm ready to start using the lace charts from Campside!
And my second pair of child's tube socks grew by an inch!

Latest seed merger is a blow to family farmers and ranchers
April 10, 2018
LYONS, Neb. — A major wave of consolidation that kicked off in 2016 continues to move forward with the U.S. Department of Justice allowing chemical producer Bayer to acquire the U.S.-based seed company Monsanto, reported yesterday.
"As giant transnational corporations increase their power over the market, independent farmers are left with fewer options and suffer from less competition among input providers," said Center for Rural Affairs Policy Associate Anna Johnson.
For nearly two years, this proposal has worked its way through both domestic and international boards for approval. In March, the European Union released their consent of the $62.5 billion buy, after Bayer agreed to sell assets to rival BASF. The newly merged company will have control of more than a quarter of the world's seed and pesticides market.
"Fewer and fewer companies producing seeds and chemicals for farmers spells fewer choices and higher prices in return," Johnson said. "The vast majority of the globe's seed is developed by private companies, which means their profits come first — before the health of rural communities or natural resources."
Johnson continued, "With lax enforcement of existing anti-monopoly laws, it is increasingly clear that legislative action will be required to preserve competition in the marketplace."
This is the latest in a trio of mega mergers of seed companies. Other unions include Dow and Dupont, and ChemChina and Syngenta.

The sale of Monsanto to Bayer is anticipated to close during the second quarter.

For assignment we had to create something abnormal during class. The title that was chosen was "voodoo" and this is what I came up with. If I had a great set up with light and good camera this could turn out great. Regarding the tools I think it kind of goes well together as a whole.

A PINNER business is launching a campaign to get students' heads off their desk and stop their stomachs from rumbling.
School Dynamics is working with Pinner cartoonist Robert Duncan to make schoolchildren more alert in the morning by encouraging them to eat breakfast.
Pinner businesswoman Sharon Pink, founder of the business which gives life skills lessons to students across the country, is appealing to sixth formers in Harrow and Pinner to get involved by taking a survey about what they eat and making suggestions for names for the characters in the campaign.
Ms Pink said: "Through our survey we have found that schoolchildren aged 13-14 are largely having breakfast, but between 15-16 the percentages are dropping, from 90 per cent down towards 75-80 per cent. Then by 17-18 it's around 60-75 per cent having breakfast.
"That means there are lots of sixth formers getting through the morning with no nourishment nutritionally or educationally as they're not taking much in when they are tired, hungry and unable to concentrate. We tell them about the best foods to eat to help concentration and when they are revising."
The lessons form part of PSHE classes or take place during break time, and the organisation is using social media to interact with the 16 to 18-year-olds.
Ms Pink said: "We are working in conjunction with sixth formers to get them involved in the campaign as a lot of the literature on the importance of breakfast is aimed at parents and younger children. We know that by 16 you are not a kid any more and we want to hear from them."
The cartoonist Robert Duncan, who has a colourful and friendly style said: "I'm delighted to be associated with this really worthwhile campaign into schools and thrilled that so many school students are already enjoying the breakfast characters.
"Having been born in Pinner and living for many years near the church off the High Street, I have many fond memories of the area, including many breakfasts at local cafes including the old Langham cafe in Bridge Street next to the old cinema – all gone now, but happy memories."
Students can take the survey and suggest names through www.school-dynamics.co.uk or email email@example.com with your suggestions. The company is on Twitter at @school_dynamics and has a Facebook page.

By Kayt Sukel
When Michayla Sullivan approached the end of her first year of law school, the stress of school began to overwhelm her a bit. She wanted to be at her best for end-of-year exams, so she decided to go to the school's counseling center for some help. There she was prescribed the first in what would become a long line of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications—a single prescription that would lead her into two years of serious chronic illness.
"I think I talked with someone for maybe half an hour, and then they just handed me a prescription, told me to go get it filled," she says. "I took it and I started getting worse within a week or two, to the point where I was having anxiety that I did not previously have and all sorts of weird symptoms including fatigue. From there, they just started prescribing more medications on top of medications. I had to drop out of school it got so bad."
The downward spiral continued once she moved back home. Michayla's condition deteriorated to the point where her mother, Sharon, retired to help care for her. And the parade of prescriptions continued as Michayla's doctors struggled to figure out what was ailing her.
"It was all just trial and error. Try this medication, see if that will work. No, it doesn't. Take me off of that one, try another one," Michayla says. "This process repeated maybe 8, 10, 12 times. I don't even know how many medications I was on over two years. If you name an antianxiolytic or antidepressant, I probably tried it at some point. I just kept failing medication after medication. I would fail them, because I would get all these crazy severe side effects."
After more than a year of trial and error, Michayla's doctor said he'd heard of a genetic test that might provide some new insights. He suggested Michayla take the GeneSight test. With a simple cheek swab, her doctors gained some critical new information about Michayla's case: She had very low level for an enzyme that would allow her body to metabolize all of the medications she had been prescribed. It looked as though it was the medications themselves that were making Michayla so ill.
"I will never forget the night that Michayla's doctor called me. It was after dinner. I remember him saying the words, 'Are you sitting down? I think we have finally found the problem,'" says Sharon. "What he had seen was that in her case the medicines that were being prescribed went through enzymes for which she had very low levels. She couldn't process all the medicines they had tried on and off over the years."
Michayla's doctors had her stop taking all of her medications immediately. Michayla said that she was cautious at first—and wasn't sure that the test's results were going to provide the "magic bullet" that would help her feel normal again, especially since the doctors warned her that it would take significant time for her body to rid itself of all the medications she had been taking. Yet within six months, she and her family started seeing significant improvement. And within a year, Michayla felt like her normal self again.
"It was a process. It wasn't just one day. But at one point, I could start driving again. I could walk a mile again," she says. "The big one for me was when I could read a book again with a plot. That was a good day when I got through that book."
Now, Michayla has completed two master's degrees and is enjoying a career in library science. She and her family credit GeneSight with helping her find her way back to a healthy, happy life. "My life right now is great. It's not the same as it was before, because you can't be the same person you were before when you are chronically ill for two years and almost completely removed from society," she says. "Now, I am in a career I love. I have a social life. I see friends. That was just impossible when I was sick."
Michayla's mother, Sharon, agrees. "The biggest lesson we've learned coming out of this as a parent is to be persistent and keep asking questions," she says. "And one of those, I would say, is if you see things that don't make sense to you is to ask for genetic testing. Ask for the GeneSight test, because you'll have a better understanding of what are the medicines which might work and what are the ones that might not work and could possibly become the problem."

Things You Will Need
- Overall jumpsuit
- Hat with netting in front
- Thick gloves
- Hiking boots
- Thick socks
- Flash light covered with red cloth
- 3 WD-40 spray cans or high quality aerosol spray cans
Notice more hornets or wasps lately around your house? If so, you might have a nest on your roof or nearby. This nest will not go away by itself; however, you have to be careful when killing them because you don't want to try to kill them and injure yourself or make it worse by aggravating them.
If you are allergic to either kind of insect, you must take even greater caution.
- Look at the insect and determine whether it is a bee or a wasp. Bees are more round and short. Bees serve a purpose of pollinating plants and flowers and should not be killed if possible. If it is a wasp or hornet, it is longer and thinner, and you should kill it. In addition, bees are less aggressive insects and won't sting unless hurt. That is, bees will usually not sting you, while wasps and hornets most always sting.
- Search around your house, including the roof, to see if and where the nest is. Do not touch the nest, and keep at least 5 feet away. Do not disturb the nest at all because wasps and hornets get agitated.
- Go back inside the house once you have located the nest. It is recommended you wait until nighttime to try to dispose of the wasp nest. The wasps and hornets are in the nest (and not flying around) and more sluggish at nighttime.
- Read the instructions of the WD-40 spray or the high-quality aerosol spray before you go out to dispose of the nest. The chemical spray is what will kill the insects. You could also use an insecticidal spray specifically for hornets, but any high-quality aerosol spray or WD-40 spray will work as well.
- Put your protective clothing on once nighttime comes. Take the WD-40 or aerosol spray cans and go outside to the nest, making sure to not make too much noise. Stand an arm length away from the wasp nest. Locate the opening of the wasp nest and begin spraying the WD-40 or aerosol spray into the nest opening. Spray the entire can and repeat with the second can. Spray any wasps that escape. If you need a light, use a flashlight with red cloth, because hornets are attracted to light.
- Leave the nest and go back inside making sure no wasps follow you. The next day (at nighttime again) go back outside (with protective clothing on) and dispose of the wasp nest. Be sure to take another can of WD-40 spray with you just in case you see any stray wasps or hornets still alive.
If, at anytime, you do not want or feel comfortable disposing of the nest call an exterminator.

Freddi Williams Evans grew up in a tiny town in Mississippi, studied classical piano in college and went on to get a degree in music therapy. After moving to New Orleans and a stint working with Juvenile Court, she landed in Jefferson Parish as an artist facilitator in the school system. But all that time she pondered about her own African American cultural heritage, an interest deepened by an early study-travel experience in Ghana when she was an undergraduate music major at Tougaloo College in Mississippi.
Now, after more than two decades of research driven by her own unflagging passion and with assistance from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, she has published "Congo Square: African Roots in New Orleans," a readable, accessible and interesting book linking her knowledge and appreciation of African music to its most famous New Orleans location: Congo Square. In 1893, this unique location, at the western corner of Armstrong Park, was officially named Beauregard Square by the New Orleans City Council. And so it remained until this past April when, to Freddi Evan's delight, the City Council renamed it Congo Square, the only name locals have used for so many years.
"To me, more than physical space, Congo Square is a frame of reference," this eloquent promoter of African American history explains. "When people ask me what is the root of African American culture in this country, I say it is Congo Square. This is our reference point."
Wynton Marsalis agrees, writing in her book that "the bloodlines of all important modern American music can be traced to Congo Square."
For Freddi and numerous other New Orleanians, that piece of land is sacred: a place where, from the city's earliest days, the enslaved could meet on Sunday to dance, sing, play music and interact freely.
"To me it represented Africa in America," she says. "It was here that African speech and activity was concentrated. I like to think of it as more of an institution than just a location. It was a place of culture, of dancing and small markets. For me it is important to let all people know how Congo Square influenced our local culture."
One of the interesting facts revealed in "Congo Square: African Roots in New Orleans" is that New Orleans was not the only city that had a place for slaves to freely gather. There were numerous others across the country.
"There was a place in Philadelphia, for example," she says, "where slaves met during the Colonial period. That space, also called Congo Square, now is called Washington Square."
The difference between the gatherings in other cities and those in New Orleans was the longevity of their existence. Most were around for only a few decades. In this city, with the influence of newcomers from Haiti and Cuba, activity continued for almost 100 years.
"There were no jazz funerals or second lines coming out of the Philadelphia experience," she says. "That is why our Congo Square is so important, because it influenced our entire popular culture."
"Congo Square: African Roots in New Orleans," published by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press, is a great read and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the musical history and unique cultural roots of this city. It is available at Octavia Books and most other local bookstores, as well as online at Amazon Books.

NEW VIENNA, Iowa (AP) – Authorities are blaming manure runoff from a Dubuque County dairy farm for a recent fish kill.
The farm is located about 3 miles east of New Vienna. The fish kill was reported Oct. 9 after fish carcasses were spotted in two creeks downstream in Dyersville.
Around 60-thousand fish were killed, include minnows, white suckers and creek chubs.
The Iowa DNR has issued a notice of violation to the owner, John Hoefler, and is expected to seek restitution for the fish.

Social media can become addicting; are YOU an addict?
November 17, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Social media can affect the way you think, and can cause you to have a different mindset. People need to use social medial five hours or less per day. Social media can get you distracted very easily and make you disconnect from the world. It can also damage eyesight and get you addicted.
Studies show that social media can make you less productive and more distracted.
Students use internet for homework but it also allows people to have access to other sites like facebook and twitter. On www.usatoday.com a teenager states "I find it sad that I can get more work done at eleven or twelve-thirty at night because that is when everyone else is asleep," said Chris Brandy, 18, a senior at Cherry Hill high school west. When I use social media, I get extremely distracted and do not do my chores. I lose track of time.
Using social media can make you lose connection of the real world, and will waste your bonding time with family members and friends. My own family does not bond because .they are too busy on social media. Social media is very distracting and is tearing my family apart. When using social media I am in my own world and don't want anyone trying to talk to me. I ignore my family and do not pay attention to them. There is a fear that technology is taking over family life with almost two thirds-percent- of parents admitting they need to make more effort for face-to-face time.
The danger of using social media can cause damage to your vision from the brightness of the screen. My eyesight has got worse these past two years because I stay up at night on social media. The brightness from my phone caused my eyesight to be forced and damaged my eyesight. "There are tiny muscles inside your eyeball that change the shape of your eye's lens in order to bring whatever you're seeing into focus," Dunaief explains. After hours of sitting in front of your computer screen, those muscles become so fatigued that your eyes can no longer focus," Dunaief adds. He says research has also shown that when reading or working online, people tend to blink less. That can lead to dry eyes, tearing, or a burning sensation, he says. I went from having perfect eyesight to extremely bad eyesight.
Most people use social media five or more hours per day. It's very addicting and is easy to get access to. It makes you kill time. I kill time when using my phone for social media. I procrastinate when doing homework because I go on instagram instead. Jasmine Paton says social media networks are distracting students. She is a grad student of the bachelor business. She says "Social media is available for anyone at anytime. Students are religiously connecting themselves to it and are continuously signing in online to check their status."
Studies show that over the past decade, society has witnessed massive changes in the way media and technology intersect with how we work and live. Common sense has shown over 1,200 parents and teens to find out how the saturation of mobile devices in family life is playing out in homes and child-parent relationships. In many areas of behavioral addiction, there has been debate about whether some excessive behaviors should even be considered as genuine addictions like video game playing, internet use, exercise and more. Social media is not a good way to spend your time. Use your time wisely and know your limits. Social media is a large part of our everyday lives. It helps connect long lost family member and old high school friends, but it has also became a big distraction. It has distracted many students from their school work and ability to accomplish tasks in a timely manner.

Weekend Groningen
We decided to visit Groningen on the 18 November for a weekend. We have planed a couple of things to do and one of them was to visit an exibition of Groningen museum called "Eye to Eye", work by international celebrities such as Anton Corbijn, Erwin Olaf and Diane Arbus is being shown, often in life-size format.The museum offers his own photograghy collention this time.
'Eye to Eye' is curated by Mark Wilson and Ruud Schenk. In order to show the multiple facets of the collection, they have also bestowed attention on the melancholy staged images of Teun Hocks, with their double meanings, the exuberant photography of Erwin Olaf, and the internationally oriented work of the young fashion and portrait photographers Anuschka Blommers and Niels Schumm. Cornelie Tollens is represented with her erotic photos, Carli Hermès with polished advertising photography, and Micha Klein with his panoramic computer animations, inspired by the party culture.
The exhibition is completed with the work of the 'precursors' of many of the photographers named, such as the celebrity photographers Angus McBean and Paul Huf, and the more socially engaged Diane Arbus. Considering that people are the central focus of the photo collection at the Groningen Museum, in 'Eye to Eye' the emphasis is on portraits and staged self-portraits. Thus there is also work by visual artists who appear in their own work by means of photography, like Gilbert & George, the pair Ulay and Abramoviç, Luigi Ontani and Milan Kunc. Many of the photographs in the exhibition are printed in large format, which can sometimes lead to an almost physical confrontation.
We agreed that Lesya and Nano(our friends) will join us, though as Nano has smth else to do only Lesya payed a visit to the museum. We planed to go to the museum at 13:00 and Lesya would join us later on coz she thinks she needs less time to go through the museum, so we did. We met Lesya later on at the hall and started watching the collection.
We have made a several pictures of the photos we liked the most. Work done by Angus McBean , a girl who is growing up from the ground surrounded by towers, made quite a bit of an impression on us, the photo shows how innocent and pure but at the same time strong the beauty of that girl is, that strong that can ruin and rebuild the whole world! Quite a magnificent photo. Also photos by Larry Clark and Inez van Lamsweerde&Vinoodh Matadin showed the purity of the humans body.
We also have seen work done by Teun Hocks, who has proved that quite old art is better than a modern art, he used as a example an old furniture, on purpouse he slightly burned by doing that he showed that the furniture is still a great art.
Irysya was " a bit" surprised though that next to the nacked photos they placed photos of the Christ, for her oppinion its not smth u should do.
Also, we visited "From Cuyp to Rembrandt" collection.
Mostly there was represented Hofstede de Groot's collection. Although the collection of the Groninger Museum did represent the backbone of the exhibition, a large number of works was borrowed from other museums and private collectors in order to create a representative reconstruction of De Groot's collection. We've seen some nice paintings there as well.
Later on Lesya wanted smth to eat so we went to the restaurant, she got a lunch for herself, we had some coke and talk a bit.When we finish with lunch the museum was about to close so that time we also didnt manage to see all the exibitions the museum has, but that wasnt much :)
So we said "Good bye" to Lesya and went home to cook some dinner and getting ready for a party with Rolinka and Edwin( which was a good fun and we dont think we will forget these 2 days of "celebrating " soon lol ;)
For some more pictures click here
see ya next time,

Up to 34°C in Belgium later this week
22:35 22/07/2018
Brussels will be a bit hotter than Nice, Barcelona or Lisbon later this week, with temperatures forecast up to 34°C on Friday.
The Royal Meteorological Institute has issued a "strong heat warning" - meaning several days in a row of temperatures in the 30s and a high UV index.
The forecaster is expecting 31°C on Tuesday and Wednesday, 33°C on Thursday and 34°C on Friday. Overnight temperatures in most areas will not fall below 20°C.
The official advice is to avoid exposure to the sun between about 11.00 and 17.00, wear light clothing, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Keep windows and shutters closed at home and wait until the evening before watering plants.

This makes me glad my braces and dental care was covered by the NHS at the time, I had two teeth removed for free. When I was a kid I needed 7 baby teeth removed and they took me to hospital for it. Now I'm paying normal prices, a visit to the hygienist seems extortionate. £200 for a filling, and it doesn't help that a new guy has taken over at my dentist and increased the prices massively.

$150 for an extraction would be called a simple extraction. $250 for an extraction would be called a surgical extraction. We choose our professions, can't be angry we go by a standard guideline of costs for procedures. Overhead & employee pay alone to run an office takes like 350 of those surgical extractions. Plus it's part of your health!

This day started with an awakening in the early hours of the morning. 2:11 am to be exact. Funny the way there are those days when we are called into the unknown as to the why me moments in life.
Often it is just sit quiet and listen to that still voice within as to who to pray for or just to spend a special time with Him. This morning was to write in the final book of the three book series I have been working on lately called "Checkers Corner." Nothing earth shattering to report in the events unfolding. Just an urgency to get this project completed. Once done it will sit a few weeks and I will come back to it with fresh eyes and catch the oversights when so many characters have come into play in the series. Who ever said writing was easy.
We are still in the spring like weather here. Hard to believe it is January. I have a feeling we are going to pay for this in another little while. Welcome to Alberta weather. Should you not like what you see wait a few minutes and check it again. This morning at 2:15 it was a balmy +5 degrees which in the old Fahrenheit scale is 41 degrees. With a slight westerly wind I know we are going to be a blow soon. Snow is scheduled for the next few days.
I have started to write again on a site I was involved with for the past few years and left, Hub Pages is a community of writers who share a common goal and that is to share. A great site where I have made many dear friends and I invite yoy to take a peek and see what you think. I can be found at
Blessings upon your day

Hey there everyone! Yes, I'm back and late again, as usual. So, this happened last Friday, but I'm gonna go ahead and talk about it now. Hope you don't mind. Well, on Friday, my host father got him and myself some special tickets to a Tokyo Giants baseball game, complete with Lounge seats, all you can eat buffet and even a chance to see the teams practice before the game. Before I start detailing the entirety of the day, let me give you a little background on the team. Tokyo, much like New York, has not one baseball team, but two (perhaps because of the city's sheer size and population, I really don't know). The teams are: The Tokyo/Yomiuri Giants, and the Yakult Swallows. Yomiuri (the famous newspaper company, and Yakult are simply the names of the corporations that sponsor the teams. So, the home stadium of the Yakult Sparrows (who happen to be my host father's favorite team) is in an (evidentally) small outdoor stadium called Jingu stadium, whereas the beloved Giants are housed in the massive, towering Tokyo Dome complex. A word about Tokyo Dome itself. Tokyo Dome is more a sprawling complex (in the same way that Disneyland is a complex), containing several buildings, amusement parks, roller coasters that come out of buildings to loop over highways, multiple stadiums/concert halls, malls, arcades, restaurants, etc. It's sort of like a gargantuan amusement park, as it were. Whereas most teams in Japan (there are only a few) have real animals for mascots (Osaka Tigers, Hiroshima Carp [who we were playing on said day], etc), the Giants have an almost, sorta real animal for a mascot. The Giant's colors are black and orange, and their logo is a Y (for Yomiuri) interlaced with a G (for Giants), and thus, taking this logo, the team made their mascot a rabbit sort of creature whos face resembles the logo. They affectionately call this creature the Jabbit (Giants+Rabbit).
Despite it being a rather crappy, rainy, soggy sort of chilled day, the Tokyo Dome complex was filled with people, most of whom were either there for the game, or there to try to get tickets for the game. At around 3 o'clock, my host father and I took our special (and I'm sure, quite expensive, tickets) down to a garage-like area, illuminated by yellowed, flourescent lights, the sort of place you expect bit 18-wheelers to back into to deposit cases of softdrinks for vending machines, and boxes of junk food for vendors. We were given a laminated badge that read 'Guest' and told to wait in line, which in fact lasted a good 30 min. or so, before being led through another line where haphazard cops looked through your bags to assure you had nothing suspicious. In groups of 20, we were let into a small, windowed room, and shut in. It was the sort of eerie 1984 thing that was reminiscent of a scene that might be from Battle Royale, caged into a glass space with cops on either sides holding the doors shut, and holding you in. I have yet to figure out the necessity for this. We waited a minute or two, then the doors swung open and a preppy 20 year old girl, decked out in orange legwarmers, a short orange skirt and an orange and black visor, held aloft a flag that read 'Giants,' and proceeded in front of us, leading the way past stands getting ready to sell team goods, bento boxes, cones of popcorn, etc.
We were led into the stadium, into Tokyo Dome itself and one couldn't help but peer up at the lofty ceiling, who knows how high, and marvel at the sheer size of the place. I suppose it's about the size of any of our American baseball stadiums, but having now lived in Japan for 8 months, I can't remember ever having been in a place so large and open. We proceeded down to a space literally ON the astroturf, where about 40 special seats sat waiting behind tall nets. On the seats were towels sporting the McDonald's logo, a baseball glove, and a baseball helmet. I later learned that these are the McDonalds' priority seat, and because of their location (and because the nets protecting them are taken down for the game), it is mandatory for all spectators there to wear the helmets so as not to have their head bashed in by a stray ball. Anywho, we were led into the space and allowed to watch the Giants team in practice. As one might expect, there were people doing stretches, some batting, some catching, etc. Around the stadium, up in the stands, police officers, like packs of keen bloodhounds, meandered their way through the seats, checking, I would assume, for suspicious packages. Much later, when ticket-holders were let in, before the game, the cops remained, but instead of watching for suspicious activity, their jobs changed to that of whistle-blower. That is, whenever a ball was hit and wasn't going to land in the field, but rather in the stands, that section's policeman would blow his whistle, and everyone would move out of the way.
While watching the practice, the Jabbit mascot came out to take pictures with our group (there were only about 50 of us in all), and then we all got together and posed for a free picture (free only if you overlook the high price of the ticket). After that, we were shown back out, given a gift (a fold-out box sort of thing), and proceeded up to look at the various gift shops around the place until 4, when they started letting people in before the game. Our special tickets were on the same balcony as the box seats, and in contrast to the uncomfortable, cramped plastic benches en masse below, our seats were comfortable, cushioned, only 5 to a row, and had a fold out table. As time for the game to start loomed nearer, the girls hawking various goods, began to meander through the rows below. While the 'lobby' areas certainly sell food, most spectators never get out of their seats to purchase their food/beverages. Instead, girls in various neon colored skirts and caps walk to the very front of the row, bow to no one in particular and raise their hand, proceeding slowly up the steps and stopping if anyone in the crowd mirrors their raised hand. Of course the girls sell soda and tea, and bento boxes and popcorn, but there were also girls walking around with huge carafes of coffee, and those selling beer, were the most interesting of all. They had on huge, covered backpacks which were, in fact, kegs of beer, and from their belts dangled a thing holding tankards. Whenever someone flagged them down for a tank of beer, they would pull out a spicket/tube and fill a tankard full, just like beer on tap. These girls, however, were not prowling through our section. Instead, we had a catered buffet with corndogs, salad of all sorts, fried shrimp, pasta and flan and green tea cake for dessert.
As for the game itself... The experience was a little different from an American baseball game (at least I think). You see, I was still knee-high to a grasshopper when I last went to an American baseball game, so I can't very truthfully boast full knowledge of the US experience, but I'll tell you what I can of baseball games here. First of all, the fans are amazing. Of all things interesting in Japan, by far, fandom is the most unique and interesting, whether it be for singers, actors or sports. The opposing team was the Hiroshima Carp, and they had there own section of the stadium, a distinguishable red and white from the almost entirely orange and black sea of people. Now, I must mention that each player on a team has a song, or rather, a specific chant. My host father went on to tell me that in fact the songs are put on a CD (whether fan made/distributed or actually buyable in stores, I don't know), and all fans get the CD and memorize the words and music. Thus, whenever a player comes up to bat, everyone in the stands for that team beats their clackers (large inflatable sticks) to the tune and sings/chants that player's particular song. And, in fact, students (high school or otherwise) bring in their band instruments: trumpets, saxaphones, etc., and play the melodies. There was a fan-made band there for each team. Also, there were massive flgs, large enough to cover 3 or 4 rows of seats, which one man was self-appointed to wave all throughout the team's inning. For the Giants, naturally their flag said, "Giants," but for Hiroshima, there were two. One was "Hiroshima Carp," but the other was in red and white and said "Tokyo." When I asked about this peculiarity, my host father said that it was meant to represent the native Hiroshima people who now lived and worked in Tokyo, and thus were indebted to Tokyo, but still wanted to show homeland pride. So, a man would come up to bat and, strangely enough, almost always, the pitcher of the opposing team would wait for the player's song to finish in the stands before actually pitching the ball. If, by stroke of luck, a player hit a home run (which caused us to get a free Big Mac), or if he scored a point, everyone in the stadium would lift their orange towels and wave them around, singing yet another victory song. In contrast to American sportsmanship, even the supporters of the opposing team would give applause with gusto.
So, that's the basics of what I've learned about Japanese baseball games. And they go by faster, though I think that makes them more interesting, because they cut out all the boring waiting/faking out that runs rampant in some baseball games. We left in a downpour after the 7th inning, as Tokyo Dome is none too close to our apartment, my host dad didn't really care who won (the Giants did), and we didn't want to have to squeeze into a packed train (though it was still packed, regardless). On a side note, the Giants had a very famous, beloved player who, ironically shared the same name as the famous actor, Kimura Takuya. About two or three weeks ago, during practice, he collapsed with what I gather was a brain anurism (dunno how to spell it), and was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, a few days later, he died. He was, to all Japanese sports fan a legend and much loved, and so everyone was very sad at his premature passing (he was in his 50s I think). The day after the game we went to, there was another game and a fan memorial service, where thousands upon thousands of people poured into Tokyo Dome, coming to burn incense and pray, or bringing flowers and paying condolences. His son threw out the first pitch.
So that's all for now folks. Sorry it's taken so long. In other news, I made Takoyaki (octopus balls) or, in my case Ebi Ebi Yaki (shrimp balls) with my host brother and his girlfriend the other night and while, difficult, it was a blast and I think I'll have to buy a takoyaki pan before I come home. Well, now that my host dad sees he's found a baseball buddy, he's planning on taking me to see the Yakult Swallows at Jingu stadium... maybe Friday. Not really sure. I'll post again whenever I can. Now that school's started back up, I'm a bit busy, and true to form, almost every frickin day the monkeys that run the place come up with new problems for me to have to figure out myself (currently telling me to pay them $500 by tomorrow when I've only got $300 on me). Sigh. Oh, and I've added a tracker at the bottom here. I got a few comments from people who aren't my friends/family and realized maybe other people actually read this stuff, so, out of curiosity, I put that at the bottom of the page. Btw, if anyone has any questions for me or wants me to write about something in particular, comment and I'll see what I can do. Well, til next time!

After two years in the making, Johannesburg alternative rapper Sam Turpin dropped his latest, aptly named mixtape, 4am in Jozi, which pays homage to his hometown.
The 11-track mixtape is exclusively written and produced by Sam himself and is heavily inspired by Johannesburg, which is clear on tracks like 'Bree Street' featuring Ghanaian rapper Yaw P, as well as the project's lead single "Lunar Vibe" — a trippy ode to the dark and dangerous nightlife of Johannesburg.
SA's rising prince of soul, Langa Mavuso also assists on 'The Heart's Boom Bap', a woozy, low-fi ode to mental and emotional struggles. Beyond the city he calls home, 4am in Jozi features social and personal lyrical content, which he describes in his signature wavy beats and unconventional rapping style.
Sam's abstract, fledgling, still-developing style of rap often makes it very difficult to describe his music as hip-hop, which isn't anything all that new at a time when many young rappers are experimenting with new sounds much to the displeasure of purists.
Listening to Sam's music from his first two EPs Eternal Sentiment (2014) and Wasi-Wasi (2015), one has a difficult time describing his sound especially in the context of what is understood by the genre. Whether this is intentional or not, his music is unconventional and overly abstract, which can leave many listeners feeling uneasy due to his disjointed raps and trippy beats.
Having followed his journey over the years, I appreciate Sam's consistent originality as well as his growth, especially in terms of producing and making beats, an aspect in which I suspect his friend and collaborator Njo Illa N has a significant influence.
Although much of 4am in Jozi feels quite green, I quite enjoyed the project's production especially his last track 'Morning', a simple, deceptively beautiful end to a slightly restless project.
With time, one hopes that Sam's raps will compliment his production and join the dots of his many thoughts to tell a more coherent story, letting listeners into his personal life and experiences.
I'm excited to see how he continues to grow and develop his beatmaking and lyricism and I trust that he will continue to passionately represent Johannesburg, while staying true to himself. I hope that with experience and time the scene will open up to him so he can make the transition from underground rapper to indie favourite.
Take a listen to Sam Turpin's full EP below. You can also catch him in Johannesburg at the Kalashnikovv Gallery in Braamfontein, on the 17th of August where he'll be performing tracks of the mixtape.

Letters to the Editor
How many beautiful days in the neighborhood remain?
It's been estimated that 95 million men, women and children perished in war or related deaths in the 20th century. (Strangely, over half by Stalin and Mao alone, yet we see no memorials or museums for those victims)
Here in our 21st century, 175,000 on the planet die daily with 8,000 more in America. Of those 175,000, a large portion will die of starvation, disease and civil war.
Some children born in refugee camps will live their entire lives in these camps. Millions in Communist gulags and prisons. Radical Islam torturing and murdering "infidels," including children. Young girls taken into sexual slavery and/or disfigured. Many for their Christian faith. This is 95 percent of the planet. You know, those "other" people.
In perspective, consider those in our nation calling themselves the underprivledged 99 percenters – the Democratic Socialists of America, Black Lives Matter, the overprivledged America-hating college students with their Marxist professors, and the Antifa – rioting and burning the streets.
And if I may add, a nation nearly void of even basic morality, ... totally corrupt leaders, us in debt while providing well for themselves and their comrades, major cities turned into sewers, Americans thinking they deserve everything the government will provide, and worse – self-serving churches that fail to proclaim the full Gospel of Jesus Christ as not to offend the masses, or even the Body.
How many beautiful days in the neighborhood remain?

The Level 2 chargers from both companies complete their charge in around four hours using what's known as the J1772 interface, a technical standard that works on the Leaf and Volt — and any EV now on or coming to the market. However, while the EV Project is serving both Volt and Leaf buyers, ChargePoint America freebies are limited to the Volt and the EVs from Ford and Smart that are coming to market later.
Lowenthal said that Coulomb will work with dealers and buyers so that Volt drivers are set up through the ChargePoint program even before they bring their car home. "We want to get out to your house, do the inspection, do the installation so when you drive your car home, you're in business," he said.
The guess is that the vast majority of charging will be done at home. This is a little surprising to hear given that the companies have spent so much time talking about public stations, and that the DOE is financing the installation of so many of them.
"There are a percentage of people who don't have a garage, who are parking their car on the street," Read explained. Plus, public charging stations are a tool in reassuring a public who might be scared off from EVs by the dreaded range anxiety. Lowenthal pointed to a UC Davis study that found that 80 percent of people believe they will want to charge more than once a day. "Our mission is to insure that if you are thinking about buying a car," Lowenthal said, "you don't hesitate because of fueling concerns."
Both Read and Lowenthal talk about their charging stations as parts of networks, painting a picture of EV drivers connecting on the Web, their phone or whatever their device of choice, to do things like find an available charging station or monitor a car that's in the charging process. And remember their emphasis on being smart? The idea is that whereas there might soon be $200 chargers you can pull off the shelf at an electronics store, a networked, smart charger will offer so much more — to users and to the utilities that provide power.
Why do the utilities care? A big new electricity draw from electric vehicles, if not now but five or 10 years from now, could present challenges in grid management. With smart charging, however, EVs can be a winner for utilities. Take Portland General Electric (PGE), in Oregon, where oodles of wind power has gone in recently. As spokeswoman Elaina Medina explained, that energy can't be stored. So if PGE can sell it in the middle of the night instead of dumping it, even at the off-peak rate of 4 cents per kilowatt hour (vs. 12 cents/kWh at peak times), that's good for PGE and good for consumers.
"With our charger, you're going to be able to take advantage of opportunities that you're not going to have if you go out and pick something off the shelf willy-nilly," Read said, explaining that your smart charger and the utility will talk to each other to charge your vehicle at the lowest cost, all while you get a good night's sleep.

Jammu, Aug 07:
State President of Shri Ram Sena (SRS), Rajiv Mahajan on Tuesday urged Supreme Court to revoke Article 35-A from J&K in the best interest of the nation as well as the State. In a press conference here, Rajiv Mahajan said that Article 35-A is unconstitutional and illegal.
"Article 35-A was applied to J&K in a hush-hush manner on May 14, 1954 through a presidential order and has not been passed by the Parliament, which is a necessary formality," he said.
He added today Kashmir based political parties and Hurriyat Conference is protesting in favour of Article 35-A as they don't want that Jammu and Kashmir should get the same treatment as other states are getting. Rajiv said that India is one from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and all states must get the same treatment.
He said the women want to buy a house in J&K, but they cannot do so in spite of being a citizen of the State because Article 35-A is discriminatory against the women of J&K.
"As far as the women-folk in Jammu and Kashmir are concerned, their choice of marriage is restricted because of Article 35-A," he said adding that if a daughter of state marries a non-permanent resident of the State, her children and husband can't exercise any right in the State. "Their status becomes similar to the status of refugees from Pakistan," he said. Article 35-A, he said, disallows Indian citizens from other states to employment under the State Government; acquisition of immovable property in the State, settlement in the State or right to scholarships and such other forms of aid as the State Government may provide.
It, he added, facilitates the free and unrestrained violation of Fundamental Rights of common men who have lived there for generations.
He said some of political leaders of Kashmir based parties also raised voices against the Article 35-A in Jammu province only to polarise and divide the people for their vote banks.
The hue and cry by Kashmir based leaders seems that only the Kashmir Valley has a problem with repealing Article 35-A. He strongly emphasized to abolish Article 35-A to establish gender equality in the State.

Ferrari v Lamborghini
Enjoy watching "Top Gear" and listening to the professionals review your fantasy cars? Well here's your chance to complete your own personal review!
First you will experience a few laps in the Ferrari 360 or 355. Both display elegance and style – the older looking more angular in style and the newer more rounded. Comparisons vary – some think the 360 is more superior in comfort, looks and performance whereas others consider there's no difference. Both Italian supercars have much to offer, and you're the one assessing and reporting!
Then will be your chance to compare Ferrari with Lamborghini when you give the Lamborghini Gallardo a try! This much sought after car will take you from 0-60 in an amazing 4.1 seconds! An entertaining, aggressive and explosive experience which will provide a great comparison to the Ferrari.

Rohingya Crisis update and appeal
Categories: Blog
Apologies for the long gap between posts!
Red Earth is dormant but Jason continues to have concern for the Rohingya people since his 2015 State of Rakhine film touched on the crisis as it was then. He is hoping to appeal to our followers and supporters to take it to the next step of covering this tragedy as things have recently turned critical. Here is what he has to say about his plan:
Hopefully some of you have noticed the news ( ABC News | Irrawaddy | CNN ) of the recent Rohingya crises as over 70.000 of them are fleeing into Bangladesh to escape intense violence from the Burmese military.
It is hard to watch these images knowing that just 2 years ago I was filming the people and townships who are now being attacked. I actually stood and looked across the river into Bangladesh, the river where people are now drowning in trying to get away from Burmese military. It is for this reason that I am busy exploring ways to get across to Bangladesh to continue my filming of the Rohingya story. Apart from my obvious concern of the people there, the more reasons for continuing filming Rohingya is for the following reasons:
- Due to a fallout between the NGOs attached too the previous project, they have requested The State of Rakhine film be withdrawn. I still have the footage, and it belongs to me, but I cannot tell that particular story.
- Recent events have revealed the true nature of the Rohingya persecution: it is not driven by religious hatred between Muslims and Buddhists but the REAL reason is the Burmese Govt. The original documentary skirted around this fact, but we don't need to do that any more – the cat is out of the bag.
- During my last tour to Australia, I came across Rohingya based in Australia. I always thought that the Rohingya story was relevant to Australia and any future project I do, I want to connect more closely to those Rohingya (and other refugees) in Australia.
Anyway, everyone I'm not sure how this is going to work out, I'm still trying to contact an NGO on the ground in Bangladesh that will allow me direct access to the Rohingya refugees. I have sent out word though my Burmese/NGO network so now I must wait and see. They must be busy so it could take time. When I get an opportunity, I will let you all know and we might pass the hat around to make it happen.
Stay tuned everyone and keep the Rohingya folk in your thoughts and prayers.
