當醫學界及殯葬業倡議改善善終及其他服務時,我們也可以從生活角度,以設計探索生死議題。在社創基金資助下,啟民創社於 2017 年開展了為期兩年的社創設計室計劃。 從計劃的首個項目 —— 死物習作(Fine Dying),我們希望透過一件與用者距離最親近的物件 ——「死物」(The Objects of Death),在告別儀式中讓家人表達對先人的最後思念和情感,同時進一步了解香港殯葬服務的文化背景、城市規劃,甚至解決未來人口老化、土地短缺等問題,為大眾市民提供更多「死好啲」的選擇和討論。社創設計室計劃找來了一班 Enablers:包括 200 多位設計學生和 100多位老年人,從香港生死殯葬議題切入,進行了不同程度的跨代共創歷程,過程中產生約 200 個死物意念,當中選擇「撒而不留」的願望,成為啟民創社與設計顧問專業團隊 Milk Design,正在共同為未來花園葬服務發展的新死物系列的靈感。
What is Fine Dying ?
When medical doctors and funeral care experts are working on Good Death, we, design researchers and designers, should take a creative path to provoke a better dying experience from lifestyle perspectives. This is why we started the project of Fine Dying. With support from HKSAR Government's Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development (SIE) Fund, Enable Foundation launched a two-year Social Innovation Design Lab (SI.DLab) programme. As the debut project, we decided to focus on developing "The Objects of Death" , which we believe can enable Hong Kong citizens to investigate and explore both the functional and emotional sides of end-of-life and burial services. We would like to prototype ideas with the current burial system and also assoicate with various future urban issues, such as ageing population, land shortage, and most importantly, the citizen's voice on "Fine Dying".
Fine Dying Project gathered a group of Enablers, including 200 design students and 100 elders to co-create approximately 200 ideas about death through a series of immersive design journeys of different generations on the death and funeral issues in Hong Kong. These co-created new ideas inspired new directions for "letting them go". For example, scattering cremated ashes of deceased relatives at memorial gardens or ocean, designed by our design mentor, Milk Design, a professional product design studio from Hong Kong. Together, we are currently developing a spectrum of tools for garden burial ceremony.

Have you heard of the newest and most fun way to get in the best shape of your life? It's called Obstacle Fit and OCR Academy in Ottawa is the birth place of this new form of training.
It all started when co-owner and founder Joshua Styles was working for the popular obstacle race company Spartan Race, traveling Eastern Canada, building the courses. Every race day he would ask the racers how they liked it, and almost everyone had great things to say but almost always said "I wish there was a place where I could go to train for this".. Well 5 years later, OCR Academy was born. Joshua saw a trend, he saw that these types of races were popping up everywhere and the Ottawa-Montreal area saw the most crowds. This was a seasonal event, something had to be done to bring this to everyone to enjoy all year round. With the rising popularity of Ninja Warrior, Obstacle Course Races (OCR), and his interest in Cross fit, he hired one of the best cross fit trainers in the city, Mike and after a few short months of him training Joshua, they had a quick talk and decided to change how people get in shape and that is when Obstacle Fit was born.
After their first year, they are already looking to expand, and they recently teamed up with a technology based company who like them wants to change how people learn. "2016 was a great learning curve for us, we were able to see what worked, what didn't, how people can progress through our classes and accomplish all of their goals and set some new ones" says Co-Founder Joshua. They have a variety of different options for you, if you like a bootcamp aspect, they have that, group classes, personal training, yoga, cafe (with the world's best cup of coffee), open gym time for families to play, Krav Maga, and the kids program as well We were told that even the kids who don't like camp, love this camp.
a mother's note for ocr kids' camp
Hi there,
I would like to sincerely thank you for giving my boys a wonderful experience at OCR Academy. It's something they will never forget.
When I first heard about you and the kids camp I was quite nervous. Being a stay at home mom my kids don't attend too many camps. They rarely attend full day camps, we like to use our money to do fun activities around the city. When I showed Raihan your website and the video you have posted he immediately asked if he could go. He even offered to pay his own way. Jordan was a little hesitant and said he would try it out for a day.
Needless to say my boys have loved it.
Raihan is completely in his element. He has made new friends, climbed obstacles he could only dream of doing before, from the time we leave the camp until he finally goes to sleep he talks about the camp and what he did, what he conquered and what his goal is for the next day. Raihan is going to be very sad today this being his last day of camp. I did promise him I would bring him back in the spring for the kids spartan boot camp and register him for summer camp next year.
Jordan was so anxious. He proved to himself he could do anything he put his mind to. Although he has not made friends, he climbed walls, ran obstacles, and conquered his fear of laser tag.
I cannot thank you and your camp leaders enough. This has been a wonderful and exciting experience for both my boys in very different ways.

death is only the beginning...
The last 2 years have been the craziest 2 years of my life. My grandma who I was not very close with but was the last living member that I knew on my dad's side to passed away in September of 2014. My time with her when I was young was a very happy time, she had such a zest for life that I think she passed down to me. After her passing I started to learn new things about her and everyone said she lived each life to the fullest, she loved doing yoga and was a Tai Chi instructor. Because of her my fiancee and I traveled to Iceland for our first trip, somewhere non of our friends have been but i knew that my grammy loved to travel and she encouraged me to try new things.
Fast forward to October 2015 when my Father lost his long 10 year battle with cancer. Any death is hard on someone, but when they are a local celebrity it was hard to find closure as it seemed almost like a circus. He never wanted it to be like this, he wanted it to be small and intimate but because he touched so many peoples lives, we told him that others needed a chance to grieve as well. I remember that he taught me to try and make my community a better place to live for not only myself but for future generations, to not be a consumer of this world but to be producer, and of course to make a difference in the life of a child (his signature sign off after every news casts on friday's) He was not there when I was born (adopted father) but I was there when he took his last breath. Let me tell you something, there is no harder, but more honourable feeling in the world but to stand there and watch the strongest man you know take his final breath surrounded by the people he loved most. To me, nothing else compares to that, as it not only breaks you down, but if used properly it can build you back up to be a stronger human being.
January 2016, 2 days before her 57th birthday my mom passed away from a massive heart attack. I got a call from the hospital, I didn't even know she was there and when I arrive I am told I have to make a decision (well basically the decision was already made but non the less), a decision that no son should ever make but as I learned that Death is the only thing that is guaranteed in life, I also new the life that she lived was not easy and that she was done with the suffering. When I arrived to the hospital I already knew that she was gone and that the machines were doing there thing, but I used that few minutes I had to grab her hand, whisper in her ear that I am grateful that she brought me into this world, and that I knew that this life was not easy for her, and that I was sorry that I could not be stronger for her.
People have told me that I did everything, and that it was not my fault but I know how strong I am and I know that I could have done more. Watching her take her final breaths knowing that she was there when I took my first was a feeling that consumed me, it consumes me now as I write this, still struggling to hold back the tears. I am not sure what that feeling is just yet, honour, knowing that I was there to witness that. Anger, as I felt I could have done more to pro long this. Fear, as she did not get to see the academy and be apart of my success, Fear that perhaps she didn't get to see her baby boy evolve from the delinquent I once was to the man I am today. I don't know, and as I continue this journey through life, I hope that I can find those answers.
Watching your parents take their final breaths is an honor, being able to hold their hands, connect with them one final time before they exit this world and continue onto the next is privileged that I will never forget.
In a world filled with so much hate, I hope that I can teach my son that the world is a much better place when you bring joy to others. I tell him to make good choices every day, to make others laugh, to make others feel important, empowered, to never knock someone down unless you plan to help bring them back up. As no matter what you believe in the Bible has a pretty good saying "Slow to anger, and quick to forgive" all the magic aside, thats a pretty good message and I hope notably him but our community will realize that you cannot control others, but you can control how treat others.
Make good choices, as death is only the beginning. Thank you Grammy, Pops, and Mom.
In June of 2015 I went into this new journey with excitement and fear. I had noticed that this fitness competition thing was becoming quite the new popular thing to do and that mostly anybody could do it. All the stories I read were success stories on how amazing this experience was and how it changed peoples' lives forever. For me all I wanted to do was get on stage. That was my initial goal. I have to admit though that I also wanted abs. Yep, I said it. I wanted to look smoking hot and have that body that most women dream about. Then as I researched it a bit more I became interested in the nutrition aspect of it and how it affects your body. I decided this would be my year to challenge myself to do something so out of my comfort zone that I had butterflies just thinking about it. I found THE BEST coach around and sat down with her to discuss my goals and see if I would be a good fit for this competition. Not everybody is able to do these competitions. You have to be doing it for the right reasons. I for one wanted to improve my self-confidence and prove to myself that I could do something that seemed almost impossible to me at that moment. I soon learned that most women that enter these competitions have some issue they want to resolve, some kind of insecurity or trying to regain control of their lives somehow by taking control of their body. I am a very dedicated person when I want to do something and I couldn't get it out of my head so I was determined to go through with it to the end. My goal was to get on that stage. It wasn't to come first, second or 10th…no it was just to step on that stage and show my family, friends and myself that I had done it.
After speaking with my coach I now had a better idea of what I was getting myself into. I thought at first that I would be deprived of a lot of foods and be starving all the time. Well, let me tell you that was not the case at all. I had to eat so much friggin food I had a hard time finishing my meals for the first two weeks! I ate a copious amount of veggies, rice, potatoes, chicken, turkey and fish. That was the extent of my diet for the first couple weeks just to gauge my base line. I was shocked but I was happy to have all that food. The next couple months my diet changed with my body slowly but surely. I couldn't really notice the changes to my body but my partner and my coach would tell me that I was definitely changing. It was depressing for me because I was working so hard and eating so clean all the time but not really seeing the difference in my body.
The "before and after" pics as well as progress pics came and went but I was still self conscious of my body and worried that I wouldn't be ready for the competition.
During the whole process I was very focused, determined and dedicated. I hardly cheated on my diet (maybe a few times with crackers or a piece of dark chocolate). I did have cheat meals which was a life saver and I always looked forward and planned them carefully. I was tested many times and it was very difficult. It can be a very lonely time especially when it comes to food. You feel as though people are judging you, you feel like you are missing out at times. It's also hard when your 8 year old wants burger and fries and you have to watch him eat it while you have rice and fish. It was challenging to say the least but I did it. People constantly asking you what you are eating, why you are eating that, thinking you should eat more not knowing that was my 4th meal of the day while they only had breakfast. It was a constant obsession with food. Let's not forget the constant looking in the mirror, measuring, weighing and pictures. I was becoming obsessed with myself that is not in my nature. I only really noticed changes in the week before my competition and the day before, when I had my tan done, then I could really see my hard work. I was also deprived, dehydrated and tanned to the extreme. The next day I stepped on stage. I had accomplished what I had set to do and I loved it. It was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life and I felt I was on top of the world until it all came crashing down the week after the competition. That's what they don't tell you when you start this process. These are the hidden demons of competition life. The fact that you can't look stage-ready forever as it's not healthy or realistic.
Now I am aware of all this but even now, 4 months after my competition I still struggle with my body image and insecurities. I would say that I've been more obsessed with my body in the last 4 months than before my comp or even ever for that matter. I was warned about the post comp depression and it is a real thing. I didn't realize however that it would last so long. I thought I'd get over it after a couple weeks of going back to the gym and eating "normally" but no, it has not. Every day I compare myself to others I see on some kind of social media. I say to myself..."why does she have abs all year round, why can't I? Why can't I look cut like her all the time? Why does my butt look like this and not like that? Why can't I have her arms, her shoulders, her.....etc etc etc. Now I do realize that I am not out of shape, obese or flabby. I have always been active and in shape. Then why am I thinking these thoughts on a regular basis? Why am I so consumed with how I should look? I've always been one to compare myself to others but it was never this bad. I feel like this comp made me see a side of me that was beyond the reach of most people and I lived it and now I'm back down to earth and I have to accept that I can't and shouldn't look like that all the time. I am relentlessly working on trying to avoid social media (easier said than done) and talking to myself. I am still very active at the gym, going 4 times a week and eating clean 95% of the time. I am never happy with my results and I'm impatient, wanting to see more results faster. My goal is to gain muscle and that is not an easy task. For me it would probably take at least 1 year to grow 5-10lbs of muscle to be able to compete in nationals naturally.
Now I could continue this journey and always follow that same path but I think I've come to realize that it's not necessarily what I want. I want to be fit and healthy, yes, but I don't think I want to go through the ups and downs of competition just because of the aftermath and what's it's done to me. Maybe one day I'll learn to accept my body the way it is and be ok with not having abs 365 days a year but for now, I'm still dealing with the post comp blues and it's going to take a while for me to get out of it. I'm not saying NO to more competition but I'm saying NO for right now, at least until I get back to being me and being ok with it.
We here at OCR Academy, your number 1 obstacle training destination has a few questions for the individuals putting on this Canadian Ninja Warrior thing.
Your website looks like a high school computer student designed it. Check out the difference in quality between the ANW and CNW sites..
Nowhere in the Canadian version does it state requirements, legal age, citizenships, or make reference to the production company hosting the event (a little something that adds legitimacy). For instance the company that is producing ANW is http://www.adeignco.com/about/ and the company that puts on Amazing race Canada (a franchise) is Insight Productions.
Sponsors, where is the $100 grand prize coming from? Generally speaking if a company is putting that much money up for grabs they would want a little ROI (return on investment). The event is scheduled to take place July of this year so the stage should be set. Personally I believe the promotion of the final stage should be shared so athletes know what to prepare for. I think the promoters of this event are relying solely on the popularity and hard work done by the American show.
Check this out.
If you click on the link above you can see this is a facility that a company in Ontario called Adventure Solutions (the one and only company that provides the ANW obstacles and also the one who does a lot of the other facilities in North America) states that this is a picture of a facility in the UK, not Toronto. The picture above is also the same picture that is featured on the Canadian Warrior Ninja IG account and they state
"canadianninjawarriorDo you have what it takes to concur the ultimate challenge Test your physical limits at canadian ninja warrior Toronto 2016 #toronto #canada"
This post on their IG account misleads people to think that this is the structure that they will be competing on when in fact its a facility in the United Kingdom.
Now with my final thoughts. If this event is truly happening, that is awesome and great job on the end of the organizers by making this possible with very little marketing and piss poor structure. I believe that this is not the case and the individual(s) is just testing the waters to see if it could be profitable. To the people in charge you are playing with peoples vulnerabilities and acting extremely irresponsible with peoples passions and that my friend is not cool. When you dangle $100k in peoples face you create false hope.
What I can tell you is that OCR Academy is working on a very exciting project. It's too early to divulge too much information but I can tell you this, it will be epic and something that Ottawa and Canada would be proud of.
Watch out 2017, its not only the year that Canada turns 150, but also the year that the Academy goes BIG.
compression workout gear?
Study: Conducted by Kinesiology researcher, and Director of The Running Injury Clinic, Dr Reed Ferber at the University of Calgary
Everywhere I look I see guys and gals wearing compression sleeve, pants, sox, suits and tops.. I asked myself why are they wearing that? Is it to increase strength, look cool, or prevent injury?
Improve performance? If this piece of clothing improves someone's performance, should they be allowed to compete in it? I mean is it not giving them an unfair advantage?
Fashion? I will just leave that one alone..
Prevent injury? This I can understand but how is someone going to get faster at cycling, if they have the training wheels on all the time? How do you expect to get stronger, if the compression is doing the work? Shouldn't you learn how to engage your stabilizer muscles while training so that come race day you arent relying on some fancy well marketed piece of clothing?
With core shorts being introduced in 2005 by a BC physiotherapist, the main purpose is to "utilize a series of strategically angled elastics to produce anatomically correct compression shorts." Since then, there has been an explosion of different compression socks, full-leg, and short-type garments and there's a lot of mis-information floating around there. So what is the science behind running with compression clothing?
First, it's important to realize that there have been absolutely no research studies investigating whether compression gear, of any kind, can help prevent or treat an injury. Any such claims are simply based on marketing. That's not to say that there may not be some potential benefit. One study, which involved military athletes, reported reduced muscle oscillation (let's call it tissue jiggle) during jump landing and while running when wearing full-leg compression clothing.
Decreased oscillation can reduce oxygen and elastic demand to the muscle and is thought to aid in injury recovery. However, this study involved healthy military recruits so how reduced oscillation translates to reduced injuries cannot be answered. Certainly though, how a piece of compression clothing helps to prevent an injury is a complex problem and one worthy of attention from the research community.
Most research has centered on whether compression gear can help improve sprint and endurance running performance. One study from New Zealand and Australia looked at 400m-sprint performance for a group of 11 male athletes. Each sprinter performed six runs. Two of the runs were completed while wearing either full-leg compression garments, short-length compression garments with compression socks, or no compression clothing. No differences in sprint time, 100m-split time, heart rate, blood lactate, or perceived soreness were found across the three conditions. However, there was a trend towards improved blood lactate clearance (how quickly lactic acid is moved out of your muscles) and a reduced perceived effort when wearing the full-leg compression garment. A handful of other sprint-studies have reported similar results.
With respect to longer distances, one study involved 25 rugby players who performed two, 30 minute treadmill runs, with and without full-leg compression gear. Every five minutes the intensity (speed and incline) was increased and blood lactate and pH (acid balance) were measured. Overall, no differences in pH were found but a small decrease in lactate concentrations, similar to the previously mentioned sprint study, were measured. In a similar study, 11 elite runners were monitored while running at 90% of their VO2 max and while wearing full-leg compression gear as compared to a control condition of loose shorts. Overall, no differences in oxygen consumption, tissue oxygenation, lactate concentration, or heart rate were measured.
So, the few studies that have investigated the effect of compression clothing on sprinting and endurance running, have reported modest-to-no effect in terms of physiological measures and overall performance times.
Finally, I'll interject some of my own hypotheses and opinions. Entering the term "compression clothing" into the National Library of Medicine returns only 15 research studies. Of those studies, less than half were well-controlled scientific investigations and I've discussed most of them in this article. So clearly research needs to be conducted to help you, the runner, understand the pros and cons. Based on the paucity of research, I'll state that if you think compression clothing helps your run – wear it! As I've said many times in previous articles, the root cause of running injuries is complex and cannot simply be prevented or resolved by any one piece of clothing, shoe, or strengthening exercise. Be body-aware and experience the joy of running – while wearing a piece of clothing that prevents tissue jiggle or not… your choice.
Above is the opinion on the Dr who performed the study and I have to disagree, the clothing has yet to proven to be effective in anyway, If your goal is to be the very best you can be, you can achieve this without some well marketed clothing. Cross Train, train different parts of your body so that everything works in conjunction with one another. If you are training to be functional, dont use machines or equipment that builds an aesthetically appealing body that will break in the real world.
Not that I am a pro crossfitter by any means, but when they say don't use machines, become one, I couldn't agree more. Stay Humble, Honest and, above all else, Hungry.
why we wear red...
With Remembrance Day coming up, we at OCR Academy will remain open, and our workouts will be inspired by the troops who paid the ultimate price to allow us the luxury to live a life of freedom and allow us the freedom to make choices.
We sometimes forget the privileges that we are granted thanks to the service of our military men and women. The freedom to be able to walk down the streets and hear the birds chirping, not gun fire, the freedom to enjoy the different colours mother nature puts on in our local and National Parks, and not the destruction of manmade weapons. The freedom to dress however way we want and not be punished by either public humiliation or even jail time. Marry whoever we want, and open our doors to the public and not be afraid of military coming in and big dicking us.
The fact that our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and grandparents have fought tirelessly in the trenches to protect us from harm both foreign and domestic is something that we will never forget. That's why we will continue to honour our service men and women and their families as we know every fight hits home. Nov 11th is the day we remember, but every day we wont forget as we offer a 20% discount to all first responders, our military and their families, as this is our way of saying we know the shit you went through and we are indebted to you. Please help us in honouring our military by wearing Red on Nov 11th and every friday as a way to show our troops that we acknowledge what they do for us and for that we say Thank you. Thank you for risking your lives to protect ours.
We will never forget you.
We have witnessed the birth of a new sport, OCR. Many still ask me what it is. Is it some kind of mud run?
OCR stands for Obstacle Course Racing, and it is primarily responsible for many of your friends epic Facebook profile pics. It's the sport that gets us away from our ordinary days, and for that one day you are an action hero jumping over fire, scaling walls, and conquering things you never thought possible. But unfortunately these races are few and far between and after a short season, you are left wanting more. You are not sure how to train for these events, and are testing your creative juices at some of the local parks, or join a bootcamp for some HIIT training.
Insert the future of training, we call it Obstacle Training, and only a handful of places in Canada that offer you a facility that can fulfill your OCR needs. OCR Academy is one of those places, so far it is the only place in Canada that offers you classes that include actual obstacles that you find in today's top races. Its 2 signature classes Century ( a strength and conditioning class that is geared to those who already have experience in weight training and OCR's) and the Origins class is designed for those new to obstacle course races and looking to train for their first race or are looking for a new fun way to train.
Now why would you want to do Obstacle Training?
We present the 8 reasons to jump on the Obstacle Training bandwagon:
1- Respect: Picture a teenage son or daughter, watching mom or dad jump over walls, climb a 24' rope and do some heavy deadlifts. Their voices now carry more weight when telling them to do chores, eat their veggies and do their homework.
2 - Confidence: Imagine the confidence you will get when you accomplish something that you perceived you couldn't? You would take that and apply that to the rest of your life. Hence our moto "Overcome life's challenges one obstacle at a time."
3 - T.E.A.M work: Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM) and that is extremely true when it comes to Obstacle Training. When someone triumphs over the 12' Athena warped wall and the gym erupts in cheer, or when someone PR's a lift and rings the bell, its very magical. This is something that you can't get at a typical gym. You develop lifelong friendships with healthy like minded people.
4- Focus: Fitness is one of the few things where you get back what you put in. In the gym nothing else matters, your boss, your partner in life, your kids, bills.. All of these things are details that don't matter when you are alone staring at the 8' wall. But when set aside all of the distractions and apply your focus on the task at hand, its amazing the results that come from it. Remember divided focus can paralyze you. Take that same concept to the rest of your life and watch the stress disappear.
5- Core Values: We teach our members to engage their core in just about everything they do. After a month of doing this, you will find yourself out of pure instinct engaging your core while sitting at your desk, walking to the corner store, carrying garbage to end of the street, or, let's not forget the project around the house you have been putting off for some time now, because of lower back issues. A stronger core means goodbye to lower back pain.
6- Functional and Practical Training: How many exercises at the local corporate gym, or exercises you do in general have any relevance to real life situations? How often have you heard someone hurting their back bending over to pick up a set of car keys, or playing with their children. Doing Obstacle Training can and will translate to practical and functional strength.
7- Mobility: We offer Yoga classes and our programs include dynamic warm up and cool downs, with so many toe touches you lose count. But what you won't lose is your flexibility, as now you are healthier and more flexible than those your age and even younger.
8- Reflection: After a few months at the OCR Academy, take a look in the mirror.. Yeah that's what we thought. You're welcome.
Happiness, it does not come in pill form, or served in a cocktail, it is not found in a race, or on a island, it's not just one big thing, it's all the little things put together. Happiness starts with you – not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you. You must find what makes you happy, and when you have a bad day, find those things that make you happy and incorporate them into your daily life.
I know what you are saying, easy for me to say. But the thing is, it isn't. I have never taken a single step in anyone else's shoes, so I don't know what is easy or hard for anyone else, but I do know that for me it took 10 years of destructive living before I found what works for ME, not anyone else but me. I was not always the man I am today, but my past helped shape me in who I am today, and the man I am today will help shape who I will be tomorrow.
I was raised in a foster care system, where I was told that I was nothing more than 20$ a day to that person, I was for the majority of my teenage years treated as pay cheque, as a job, no compassion, no sympathy was shared on me. Now I did have some amazing influences in my life, a local broadcaster came into my life as a mentor and soon a father, an emergency care worker who I believe is an Angel, she was a part of my journey for a short time, but in that short time she helped shape me in who I am today. Years later thanks to social media we were able to reconnect and I am forever grateful for her and her family for what they did for me. But unfortunately a teenager needs constant care, and part time influences where not enough to keep me focused on what I needed to do. I was easily influenced by the wrong crowd and I made unfortunate life choices that eventually ended me up behind bars. I was homeless at one time, sleeping on friend's couches and on some nights in bus shelters. My life was so destructive that one night I was sitting on my bed with my head down looking in one hand a bottle of oxy, and in another a bottle of jack. I spent my rent money on these items, I was done with the pain of being alone. Seconds before I was to down the pain numbing bottles, my dog buster walked intot he room and sat in between my legs with his head in my lap, looking up to me, with his puppy like eyes I broke down. I've never cried so much in my entire life.
I thought how selfish of me, I am not alone, this animal needs me, he needs me to do the simplest things that bring him so much joy. I mean scratching his belly, feeding him, taking him for walks, tossing a ball, brings him so much joy. Why can't I find similar joy in very simple things? SO I tossed the bottles, got a gig as a DJ for a new year's event (that saved my rent) and I decided that I would give up booze as a new year's resolution and run the 10k race. That night I passed up a few bumps from some "friends" and patron bottle service, as this was my first test. SO I passed my first test and started the year sober, 6 months later I ran my first 10k in sub 42 mins (exceeded my goal) and I haven't been drunk since. Now I can have a drink here and there and not worry about my past coming back.
If you are looking for a secret remedy or an answer to your problems, I don't have it, but what I can tell you is that the answer is out there, you just have to find it. I mean it took me 10 years, I didn't realize that 2 years after that 10k race that I would later work for Spartan Race, I had no clue that 5 years after my first Spartan Race that I would be opening up a 6,000 square foot OCR training facility and I would say you are crazy that 7 years after my suicide attempt that I would be inspiring so many others with my words and actions.
Remember it's your shoes, your choice and your life to live. Some of us don't need to hit rock bottom to realize our true potential, but realize that where we are today is a direct correlation on where we have been, and I am firm proponent that to know where we are going is we must first remember where we have been, so that we don't repeat the same mistakes.
Life is an Obstacle course, and our happiness is the medal. Wear it loud and proud.
Now excuse me while I dance. As my dad always said, every day that we wake up is a good day to dance.

A team of students in the 2D capstone class of the Game and Mobile Media Applications (GAMMA) Program reached the finals last week at the Intel University Games Showcase at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California.
The UT team included AET senior Christopher Philip, Studio Art senior Mikki Pasasadaba, Studio Art student Jasmine Kay Uy, as well as Stephanie Smith, Jaemin Go, Scott Huang and Luben Popov.
The students worked as Team Gatorp Corp. to create the game To the Core Again as part of their 2D gaming capstone class in the fall semester. At the Intel University Games Showcase, a panel of judges from the game industry reviewed competition entries by game development students from leading universities.
The team describes their work as "a thrilling, side-scrolling adventure game where you play a young adult experiencing states of disassociation, constantly shifting into a realm that isolates and keeps them safe from the harms of the physical world. However, this alternative world houses repressed memories and fears that manifest into aggressive creatures. The main character must find ways to overcome these obstacles by "shifting" between dimensions. We hope that in this journey of healing and self-discovery, we can bring more awareness to the challenges of mental health, helping others reconcile and acknowledge that their past is a part of them, but it does not define them."
Paul Toprac, Associate Director of the GAMMA Program, expressed pride in the students' accomplishment.
"These students came from multiple majors across campus to work on an interdisciplinary team to design and build a great game," said Toprac. "We were competing against graduate student programs with larger development teams that developed their games over a longer time period, and this team reflects the best of our students' talent and hard work. I am proud of their accomplishments and proud that they were competitive with the best graduate programs in the country."

It is truly amazing the number of sites that offer large selections of sexy lingerie and sexy clothing.

Arsene Wenger was given an incredible standing ovation by not only Arsenal fans but Huddersfield's too, as the Frenchman brings the curtain down on 22 years as manager of the Gunners.
The long goodbye has been ongoing ever since Wenger's departure was announced several weeks ago, and Wenger was given a pretty good send-off by supporters at the club's Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Arsene Wenger's last game as manager @Arsenal after 22 years in charge, @htafcdotcom gave him a deserved ovation on his 1235th match. 😢

But playing his final match away from home, Wenger couldn't have possibly expected the kind of reception he received from the Huddersfield crowd – many of whom will still be on cloud nine following their draw away at Chelsea earlier this week, which secured their Premier League status.
On 22 minutes, the crowd stood in unison to applaud Wenger, as a mark of his 22 years of service, and there were plenty of banners of support and tribute in amongst the home crowd.
Moreover, Wenger looked on as plane even flew over the stadium with a banner reading: 'Merci Arsene, we'll miss you too'.

All in all, it'll be a pretty emotional day for Wenger, but at least he's gone out on a pretty high note, eh?

In 2018 club culture is a global industry.
At the last count, the variants of electronic music - from left field through to stadium filling EDM - supported a $7.1 billion industry, spanning every continent on Earth.
Yet for the most part it can be traced back to a handful of African-American innovators. Techno, for instance, largely owes its roots to a clutch of producers in Detroit, operating at a time when the city's heavy industries were in a state of collapse.
Crafting dystopian hymns that looked relentless to the future, producers such as Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Kevin Saunderson demolished the rule book, carving out their own genre from its ashes.
New documentary God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines: The Story of Detroit Techno traces these stories, with film-makers Jennifer Washington and Kristian Hill uniting for an ambitious, feature length project.
God Said Give'em Drum Machines: The Story of Detroit Techno Trailer from KPLtv on Vimeo.
Clash spoke to the film makers about their crucial Detroit techno cuts, the first wave jewels which truly made an impact...
Rhythim is Rhythim (Derrick May) - 'Nude Photo'
The song that attracted the attention of Neil Rushton, a Europe record promoter, that talked Derrick into traveling to London for an opportunity to further his music career.
Cybotron - 'Techno City'
Released in 1984, this song was the first recorded instance where Juan started referring to this music as Techno.
Inner City - 'Big Fun'
The first time Neil Rushton heard 'Big Fun' on a cassette labelled 'InterCity' in Derrick's basement, he immediately advised Kevin Saunderson to: "Pack your records up. That's it. Your life's going to change. There and then. It was so big!"
Eddie Fowlkes - 'Good-Bye Kiss'
The debut single by Eddie Fowlkes that became a local hit after creating a "hand to hand combat" or citywide grassroots promotional system along with Juan Atkins, that finally landed the song on Detroit's WJLB FM 98.
Cybotron - 'Cosmic Cars'
Blake Baxter admired Juan describes 'Cosmic Cars' as influential to his own music and "mindblowing" because it wasn't on a major label at a time when "everything was on a major label."
Channel One - 'Technicolor'
After Juan released the Cybotron music, he released a series of tracks after teaching his friends a thing or two. 'Technicolor' was the first of more like 'Good-Bye Kiss', and 'Let's Go' which Juan brilliantly mastered and released all at the same time. 'Technicolor' was also later sampled by Sir Mix-a-lot in 'Baby Got Back' and Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda'.
Rhythim is Rhythim (Derrick May) - 'Strings Of Life'
Neil Rushton compares Derrick's most well known song, 'Strings Of Life', to James Brown's 'Sex Machine' and describes it as "iconic, jazzy, and wonderful."

SV Randall
"I often gravitate toward objects which have outlived their intended utility and have become the mere remnants of human activity."
Could you tell us a bit about yourself and your background. Where did you study?
I grew up in New York and studied painting. After finishing my BFA at Alfred University, I moved around the east coast working as a screen printer, an art educator, and held various positions in a number of museums and galleries including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I took four years off between my BFA and MFA so that I could save up money and get some experience outside of academia.
I obtained my MFA from the Sculpture + Extended Media Department at VCU. Since graduating - I've been living nomadically for the last two years – bouncing between residencies, exhibition opportunities, and visiting artist positions. I currently live and work in New Mexico.
Often your work and the objects you use have a feeling of something that has been lost, cast away and even an apocalyptic edge to it. Could you talk about the objects you choose and what you do to them?
I'm drawn to the overlooked and forgotten. I often gravitate toward objects which have outlived their intended utility and have become the mere remnants of human activity. I think these types of obsolescent objects exist in a liminal space between familiarity and unknowability.
Although each body of work is fueled by a different set of questions, the common thread through these diverse projects has been a drive to reactivate materials in an attempt to coalesce object, site, and narrative in physical form.
Your major installation titled "Reverse Arrival" is situated in a large abandoned grocery store, consisting of bright yellow brick walls, wooden partitions and paintings of blinds. Could you tell us about this installation and your thoughts behind it?
I made Reverse Arrival, in the spring of my first year at grad. school. At the time I was learning 3D rendering software and quickly became enamored with the ability to manifest very real and very physical objects based off of nonphysical virtual data sets using 3D printers and CNC machines. I knew early on in the project that I wanted the installation to have a primary object which would embody a kind of circular logic between digital and physical. This core object was an anvil made from an amalgam of melted down aluminum tools such as the backs of iPhone 1s, CPU heat sinks from computers, and parts from automobiles melted down and poured into a digitally fabricated mold. I liked this conflation of the archaic anvil and contemporary technologies merged together into one form. I also loved that the anvil (a tool traditionally used to make other tools), is a cartoon symbol we've come to associate with impending catastrophe.
For the installation, a 10,000 sq. ft. abandoned grocery store was gutted out, white washed, and compartmentalized into various smaller "rooms". The anvil rested on its own reflection in one room. A projected video looped in one of the smaller rooms in which a 3D rendering of the anvil infinitely falls past wisps of white clouds through the sky – never reaching land. In another section a wool baseball hat was slowly being digested by moth larvae inside of a vitrine made of yellow plexiglas and two way mirrors. Across from the hat, I displayed a store shelving unit that I carved out of wood. On the shelving unit were "paper bags" and "plastic bags" actually made of metal along with hyper realistic resin casts of rotting bananas. Throughout the installation - several large, bright yellow brick walls (again created entirely from digital files and carved by CNC machines) were displayed amongst exposed wooden studs, and paintings of window blinds were rendered hovering above a gradient of yellow.
This has been one of my most ambitious projects to date weaving together a complex web of ideas and objects.
How do you go about naming your work?
Sometimes the title of a piece comes before I even make the work. Other times it takes months after I've finished a piece for a title to really stick. In general, I'm interested in utilizing titles as a means of linking the piece to the research I'm engaged with. For example, I had a show at Ditch Projects last spring titled Javelin in which many of the works are titled after patents and news articles.
When I moved from New York to the dessert, I began noticing these cell phone towers in the form of faux palm trees around Texas and New Mexico. They are such absurd objects – not at all convincing but oddly beautiful in their attempt to mask these technological devices. I knew I wanted to learn more about them. In the process of learning more about them, I stumbled upon a local news article detailing the story of how one of the faux palm fronds had fallen from the fake metal tree and shattered through someone's car nearly impaling the driver. The caption under the image in the article reads "The faux palm frond became an unwelcomed javelin as it sliced through the windshield of a motorist's car in El Paso, TX". I ended up painting images of the accident, recreating the palm frond, making drawings of the patents for that particular type of fake palm tree cellular tower, and I even remade a custom version of the newspaper. The entire exhibition grew out of that caption and image.
Tell us a bit about how you spend your day / studio routine? What is your studio like?
I'm a total morning person! I love to wake up while its still dark and get out of the house and into the studio as early as possible. The sun dictates my day, so I definitely get more work done in the warmer months.
The studio is like a multifunctional laboratory for me. Some days I am purely brainstorming with a sketchbook, some days I'm getting lost down rabbit holes online while researching and some days are spent handling emails and logistics for exhibitions. Other days I'm experimenting with materials and of course there are the countless days when I'm working toward fabricating sculptures and objects.
The studio I'm working in shifts depending on where I'm living. Last year, I spent several months abroad and worked primarily from my computer on a video/performance project. This year I'm working as a visiting artist in the sculpture departments at the University of Texas in El Paso and New Mexico State University where I'm fortunate to have a studio and access to all of the facilities. This summer onward – I'll be back on the road and traveling for a few different residencies.
What artwork have you seen recently that has resonated with you?
This is tough! I would have to say the work of one of my students this past semester – Ruben Rodriguez. He recently made a sculpture in the form of a chandelier which he constructed out of specific articles of clothing and organic matter from the dessert – it was stunning. Ruben's studio practice revolves around a poetic engagement with found materials and performative gestures working to subvert conceived notions of masculinity while unpacking issues of labor, race, and sexuality. The work feels courageous in its honesty and vulnerability - its some of the most exciting work I've seen!
Is there anything new and exciting in the pipeline you would like to tell us about?
Yes! I just completed a new installation at the Rubin Center, which opened last week in El Paso, TX. This new piece is part of a much larger project revolving around "the mirage" as a taunting illusion.
It takes the form of something which does not exist in an environment when the viewer might need it most. The mirage can not be obtained, it can not offer sustenance in the form of water, and it can not be reached. I'm working to create a connection between the mirage and concepts of "the virtual". Both are immaterial, unknowable, and beyond our ability to touch. There will be a performance component to the project this spring, where I'll be working with hundreds of community members to make our own mirage.
I'm also preparing for a solo exhibition at 1708 Gallery in Richmond, VA opening on March 23. The exhibition, titled In The Purple, will unpack the historical significance of the color purple specifically tracing the ancient dye – tyrian purple – (which was made by crushing up sea snails). I'm really interested in unpacking how we ascribe value to arbitrary and often subjective resources.
I have an upcoming article being published in issue 8 of Peripheral Vision this spring. This summer - I'll be collaborating with visual anthropologist, Kim Craig on a project at Wavepool in Cincinnati, OH. In the fall I'll be traveling abroad to Seoul where I've been invited as an international artist in residence at the Seoul Museum of Modern Art and then I'll travel to Finland for the winter where I will be a resident artist at the Serlachius Museum. While abroad I'm embarking on a long term project that I'm really excited about – exploring archive systems.

No rain, no clouds, no sinus headache today - all of this makes for a great day in my book! Mom kept Monkey at her house today so I could concentrate on a time sensative project. Gary's Aunt died recently and they wanted me to put together a memorial collage like I did for his Dad when he passed. I decided against a traditional collage just because of the time. Instead I did one in PSE. I am happy to say I got it all finished today. I even got it all printed and framed too! So this is the collage I made - it was printed at 16x20 and it has a nice poem on it. I hope Gary's Uncle will like the finished product. Projects like this are always so hard because you want to get them "just right" and you are deffinately working against the clock!
Doing this project just re-enforced my desire to get some digital kits. I have been thinking about buying some for over a year now but just haven't done it. A friend had given me this kit, it doesn't have a lot in it but I was able to add the parchment background, the text box, flowers and the little swirls. If you aren't familar with digital kits here a couple of websites that I look at for these items
Well, I hope you all had a great day.

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?
Can someone help me find it?
Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Every Championship club's net spend over the last FIVE seasons - a £129m loss
We're less than one week away from the opening of the 2019/20 summer transfer window with several incomings and outgoings expected in the Championship.

Chris Cairns, the former "golden boy" of New Zealand cricket who stands accused of lying under oath to win a £1.4million libel settlement, was described as believing he was "untouchable" as the prosecution laid out its case in his trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
Cairns, whom prosecutor Sasha Wass QC described as a "legend" of the game, appeared in the dock to answer charges of perjury and, in conjunction with his co-defendant and former attorney Andrew Fitch-Holland, perverting the course of justice. Both men deny the charges, which relate to Cairns' 2012 libel action against Lalit Modi, the former commissioner of the Indian Premier League.
Cairns successfully sued Modi at the High Court in London following a Twitter message in 2010 in which Modi had alleged that Cairns had been excluded from that year's IPL auction list "due to his past record of match fixing" in the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL).
"The prosecution case against Mr Cairns is that he manipulated the legal system in this country to his advantage," said Wass. "Chris Cairns knew he had been guilty of match-fixing, he knew why he had been suspended and he knew what Mr Modi tweeted about him was true.
"But Mr Cairns was an arrogant individual and very sure of the power he held over the people around him. This is what he did: he lied in witness statements, he lied on oath and he arranged that others should give false evidence on his behalf.
"After all, the only people who knew for certain that Mr Cairns was engaged in match fixing were those people who had been match fixing with him. Why would they want to give evidence to that effect in court?
"So Mr Cairns had a free rein: he could protest his good name and spotless reputation to the rooftops, knowing or believing that he was untouchable."
The prosecution allege that Lou Vincent, the former New Zealand batsman who was a team-mate of Cairns' at Chandigarh Lions in the ICL, was persuaded by Fitch-Holland to provide a false witness statement to support Cairns' libel case. Vincent was last year handed a life ban by the ECB after admitting to taking money to under-perform.
During a Skype call, played to the court, Fitch-Holland told Vincent: "If you can literally get a one-paragraph statement that says 'I played in the game, everything seemed okay, end of . . . it makes it plain that things are a lot more straightforward than they look."
In the recording, Fitch-Holland appeared to accept that both he and Vincent knew the cheating had happened, saying: "… between you and I, we all know some of what is being said is clearly true". However, he tried to reassure Vincent that he would never have to swear his statement was true in court.
Vincent, however, expressed his concerns: "It's a big ask from me to … in a legal document say something that isn't true", he said, adding: "I am not proud of what has happened at all . . . it's hard for me to live with what's gone on."
Wass said the conversation was proof that all parties knew the libel case that Cairns was bringing was untrue.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmaavat was released earlier this year amidst much controversy. The Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor starrer was praised by many. Ranveer Singh's performance received special mentions from numerous critics. While some of the songs from the film were played on repeat by fans, it has come to notice that one number had been axed by the filmmakers before release. This beautiful track called Nainowale Ne is a romantic number that portrays the electric chemistry shared by Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor.
In the film, the track was set to play when Maharawal Ratan Singh had proposed marriage to Rani Padmavati. The video is well shot and has a few passionate moments. The vocals by Neeti Mohan set the tone and atmosphere for the track. The clip beautifully shows the slowly developing emotions between Padmavati and Ratan Singh.
For most of the clip, the shots are mainly in the jungle, where the duo had accidentally crossed paths. A few shots also revolve around the palace where Padmavati takes Ratan Singh to treat him for his injuries.Though the track was deleted, it contains a few scenes which are used in the film, such as the shot where Padmavati hits Ratan Singh with an arrow and when Padmavati rushes out of the palace when Ratan Singh proposes to her.For fans who loved the film, the song is definitely a treat.

"Narcos" is moving on from Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel, but it doesn't look like we have to worry about the future of the show.
Netflix released the official Season 3 trailer Thursday, and it jumps right back into the dangerous world of drug trafficking. This time, the show centers on a different Colombian crime organization: the Cali cartel. And this is no small-time operation -- as the trailer tells us, the cartel was the biggest in history and it was run efficiently and ruthlessly.
"To take down the gentleman of Cali, you'd have to be crazy, stupid, brave, and lucky, all at the same time," we hear in the preview.
Be prepared for Season 3 to be bloody. The trailer alone has a high body count, and it also shows glimpses of people being tortured, attacked, and brandishing weapons. The drug business isn't for the faint of heart, and neither is "Narcos."
"Narcos" Season 3 premieres Sept. 1 on Netflix.

I was woken up to Juan Carlos calling out my name. It was 5:30 am, I had overslept. The group had started up the track while JC went looking for my room. I threw on a pair of pants, checked I had everything in my pack, made a quick pit stop at the bathroom then we were on our way.
Colca Canyon Hike – Three days in the canyon – Part 1
I'm back in the mountains hiking the Colca Canyon for three leisurely days. Today I hiked four hours to a little village nestled in a valley with sheer cliffs on one side and green terraced farmland on the other.We started the morning with a 3am pickup then three hours in a mini bus from Arequipa to the Colca region and the world's second deepest canyon (after the Grand Canyon in America) and the home of the world's largest Condor which can be seen floating on the thermals rising up from the canyon as the sun heats up the rocks.
The Inca Trail Hike in photos
The Inca Trail trek was magical. 4 days hiking up and down breathtaking mountains and enjoying the company of not only the other guests in the group but also the guides and support crew.
Exploring the Sacred Valley, Urubamba at Cuzco, Peru – A photographic view

An Ayahuasca Story Part 4 – Closure
We've just finished the flower ceremony in readiness for my third and final ceremony in a few hours. I'm both determined and nervous. The scars from the last ceremony are still fresh but there is still so much more to learn. I hope that tonight will bring me what I need in a form that I can understand and not be overwhelmed by.
An Ayahuasca Story Part 3 – Facing my demons in Iquitos
Today will be ceremony number 2. I view my first ceremony as a failure so I'm determined to make this one a success. I'm now very specific with what I want out of it and will be focusing and meditating on that objective throughout the ceremony.
An Ayahuasca story Part 2
Finally I met our Currandero Percy Garcia. He asked about why I'm here and what I want out of Ayahuasca. He doesn't speak English but his friend and assistant was there to translate. We're about to have a flower bath ceremony in readiness for tonight's ceremony. I'm now nervous as hell. But I guess that's part of it.
An Ayahuasca Story Part 1
A 6am flight up to the north of Peru into the tail end of the Amazon jungle. A taxi meets me at the airport in Iquitos (ee-kee-tos), after a 45 minute drive on a bumpy jungle road I reach a tiny roadside village. The taxi driver charges me a ludicrous amount for this part of the world – 80 soles ($30 AUD), my heavy bag is given to a local guy who then leads me on a 30 minute walk straight into the jungle and to the DAS Ayahuasca Center.

Isaac Fowler with the Mamiya M645
I jumped into film photography a little over a year ago when I asked for a film camera for my birthday. My mom mentioned that she had a camera she was gifted for her high school graduation in 1979, an Olympus OM-10. Since then, I've spent time with that camera learning to appreciate how it was done for decades. While I am a video and broadcast professional, film has allowed me a place to step back and enjoy the process of composing an image.
Earlier this year I became increasingly interested in medium format, and someone in the /r/analog Reddit community recommended Film Objektiv to me. I placed my order, and the rest is history.
Photos of people are my favorite, so I took a test photo of a big oak, and gathered up some of my friends and coworkers and took their photo. These were shot on the Mamiya M645 kit around the campus of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

ABC made the right decision to cancel Roseanne after its star Roseanne Barr's most recent bout of bigoted Twitter comments.
ABC's reboot of Roseanne has been a commercial and critical hit. Its season premiere was watched by 18.44m viewers and became the network's highest-rated comedy show on any night in over three years (although ratings did fall over the remaining weeks). Outside of The Big Bang Theory, it became the biggest comedy on ABC. Even critics who vehemently disagreed with Roseanne Barr's Trump sympathetic politics found themselves warming to the Roseanne of season 10, a socially conscious comedy that tackled life in the white working-class America of the post-Obama age. Yet that success has come to an end with one tweet too far.
RELATED: Roseanne Revival Cancelled By ABC
- This Page: Roseanne Barr's Twitter Controversies are Nothing New
- Page 2: ABC's Cancelling of Roseanne Was a Long Time Coming
Roseanne Barr's Twitter Controversies are Nothing New
The success of the show waged on despite the numerous public and social media based controversies created by its star. Barr, an avowed Trump supporter, is no stranger to Twitter drama. In 2014, she tweeted the address of George Zimmerman, the man who was controversially found not guilty of killing Trayvon Martin in 2012, which led to Zimmerman's family filing a lawsuit against her. In March of this year, she tweeted a suggestion that David Hogg, one of the student survivors of the Parkland school shooting in Florida, had given a Nazi salute at a protest rally for gun control (she later deleted that tweet). She retweeted a photo comparing Chelsea Clinton to the donkey from Shrek, then called her "Chelsea Soros Clinton", a reference to George Soros, a businessman and donor to Democratic politicians who is a popular target among right-wing conspiracies. When Clinton responded with remarkable politeness, she accused Soros of being a Nazi collaborator who "turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps."
The tweet that seems to have been the step too far was one in which she said Valerie Jarrett, a former adviser to Barack Obama who is also African-American, was a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and a creature from Planet of the Apes. ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show". The actress has also been dropped from her talent agent, ICM Partners, who noted in their own statement, "What she wrote is antithetical to our core values, both as individuals and as an agency... Effective immediately, Roseanne Barr is no longer a client."
For most critics and industry figures, the cancellation of Roseanne was a genuine surprise. The show seemed like too big a juggernaut to face any tangible form of consequence for the consistently abhorrent actions of its star. It seemed easy enough to dismiss her increasingly conspiratorial tweets as merely being her political opinions. Even when they blatantly veered into smear territory, as they did with claiming that David Hogg gave a Nazi salute, it was easy for ABC and others involved with the show to claim that the art could be separated from the artist.
Roseanne Barr is Roseanne Connor. There are obvious differences, but for all intents and purposes, she is the face and driving force behind that show. It was built around her comedic persona and its cultural influence was strengthened by her nervy, no-holds-barred approach to difficult material that no other sitcom of the era was covering. Through Roseanne, the white working-class families of America had a unique comedic voice that still managed to tackle tough topics like poverty, domestic abuse, workplace misogyny and much more. For a while, it seemed like the 10th season, a reboot of sorts for the show, could capture that old magic. Many critics and industry officials argued that there was room on the slate for that brand of fearless comedy that dug deep into just how tough things are for many working-class families in America. It had already been renewed for an extra season. The problem was that making such a show from the foundations of Roseanne meant dealing with Roseanne Barr and her smothering level of baggage.
RELATED: Critics Call For Roseanne Cancellation After Racist Tweet
Separating art from the artist is a crucial tool in media consumption and pop culture studies. It's something we all do at some point in our lives, but it's not easy to embrace for many. But with her pop-culture prominence outside the confines of her show, it becomes far more difficult to watch Roseanne of any era, but particularly the newest season, and not think of her public life as a right-wing celebrity whose opinions go beyond those of basic common decency. There is a huge difference between being a Trump supporter and comparing a prominent black woman to an ape.

With Jon Pertwee now settled into the role of the Doctor, 1971 proved to be a much better year for collectors of Doctor Who merchandise. Most notably, two significant promotions began featuring Doctor Who – one for breakfast cereal and a second for confectionery.
Kellogg's had introduced cereal box prizes at the beginning of the 20th century, so by the 1970s, in-pack promotions were common across breakfast cereal manufacturers and brands. In 1971, Kellogg's launched a Doctor Who promotion on their Sugar Smacks brand. The initial promotion featured an illustration of Jon Pertwee on the front of the box and included one of six collectible badges in the pack. Subsequent promotions maintained the Pertwee image on the box, but replaced the badges with 3-D animal picture cards and then plastic historic car models. A fourth Doctor Who Sugar Smacks promotion comprised a cut-out model of Bessie on the back of the box, but no in-pack premium. National advertising, especially in children's comics, accompanied the promotion, which extended into 1972. The Doctor Who promotion had been replaced by Star Trek on Sugar Smacks boxes by June 1972. Variety pack, 7 oz., and 10 ½ oz. box sizes featuring the promotion are available to collectors.
The Nestlé Company had a Doctor Who Cartoon Collection promotion on milk chocolate bars starting in 1971. This promotion comprised a wrapper on each bar with an illustration of Jon Pertwee on the front and a 15-part story, "Doctor Who Fights Masterplan Q" on the back of the wrapper. The promotion extended into 1972, and at some point the wrappers were reprinted without a price, to replace the earlier wrappers that were marked at 3p. This promotion was supported with in-store advertising. A poster, shop window sticker, and shop counter standee exist. A second counter standee was reportedly produced that features full-height images of the Doctor and the Master, but a copy of this is not in the Space Museum. The chocolate bars were sold from an illustrated display box. An early version of the point-of-sale box was withdrawn after complaints over the likeness of Jon Pertwee, and was replaced by the version in the Space Museum. A picture of the extremely rare original version is included in the Gallery courtesy of collector, Phil Bhullar.
The Doctor Who strip concluded its run in TV Comic with issue 999, 6 February 1971, but reappeared in Polystyle Publications' new comic, Countdown issue 1, 20 February 1971. Aimed at an older audience, the early issues of Countdown featured a Doctor Who strip alongside a number of Gerry Anderson properties and features on space and new technology, and as such felt very similar to TV Century 21 from the 1960s. Doctor Who featured regularly on the cover of Countdown and its successors. Both the Countdown Holiday Special and the Countdown Annual featured Doctor Who and included insert photos of Jon Pertwee on the covers. (On a personal note, Countdown was the first item of Doctor Who-related merchandise that I remember consciously collecting. The Space Museum has grown from that decision in February 1971!)
Doctor Who continued to receive good coverage in the Radio Times. The issue dated 2-8 January 1971 had a Doctor Who cover that introduced Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Roger Delgado as the Master. The Radio Times' Doctor Who coverage also featured artwork by Frank Bellamy, including a three-page strip at the beginning of The Colony in Space, which makes the issue dated 10-16 April 1971 especially collectible. Details of Doctor Who content in the Radio Times can be found HERE. Katy Manning and Roger Delgado's addition to the cast also resulted in new BBC TV cast cards, together with a new cast card featuring Jon Pertwee.
Additionally, there was a small amount of merchandise produced specifically for Doctor Who. Michael Stanfield Holdings Ltd. produced two Doctor Who jigsaws; one with the Doctor in Bessie and the second with the Doctor in his lab. Dodo Iron-Ons produced a yellow Dalek t-shirt transfer.
Finally, Doctor Who-related content appeared in other books, magazines, and newspapers during 1971. A sample of items can be found in the Gallery.

This rollicking comedy chronicles several months in the life of a beginning dance class. Each of the eight students, who come from a variety of backgrounds, has his or her own reason for joining. Whatever the cause, they make a point of coming every week to chat, relax and, if they can manage to, learn a couple of dance steps. But before the dancing begins Mavis, their dance teacher, must mediate the minor dramas that erupt among this motley but loveable crew. By their final performance, not only have the class members developed some degree of skill, but they have also overcome the inhibitions, awkwardness and personality conflicts that have kept them out of sync.

✘ // 11 Mar 2016
He had played a great part in my life ever since. After all that happens to us, it's really worth letting go of him. When he decided to pursue his vocation, I admit it's not easy breaking up with him but staying in our relationship kept hurting us both. Separating ways helps us to become strong and more mature to face what we chose for us. Yes, we both face relationship that is full of frustrations but still our love grows and we learn to let go each other unselfishly. Now, we seldom talk but I'm glad seeing what's his vocation made to him right now. I can't believe someone like him who used to be witty, talkative and always playing around grown emotionally and spiritually like that. I just hope and pray he will be guided towards his journey and totally become a true servant. It will be my honor being one of his inspirations if he will succeed. For now, what matters is we both settled everything between us and managed our own way of preserving our friendship.
You know who you are and thank you for the prayers.
