Private Commission of black and white piece...
This piece was made as a black and white print by request for a private installation. Although taken in 2012, this particular piece was not included in my portfolio, but following interest in a black and white piece for a private client, I rediscovered this image and realised its monochrome potential. Perhaps some more monochrome work to follow...
A Palliative Care Arts into Health project...
Launch of the artworks and the book 'Being Here'
I have been part of a very successful arts into health project working with palliative care patients. Last week saw the culmination of 6 months' work for the St Giles Arts into Health Project. 6 pieces were installed into the palliative care hospice in Whittington, Staffordshire and the book "Being Here" was launched. The 110 page hardback book was published to co-inside with Dying Matters Week 2014 and was the result of creative input from the creative team, patients and staff at the hospice. The book is essentially a collection of poems, illustrations and photographs but so much more than that. The creative team ( Glen Buglass and Rachel Parker (Walsall Creative Development Team), David Calcutt -poet, Peter Tinkler - artist/illustrator, Ming de Nasty - documentary photographer and myself) carried out workshops at the St Giles Day Hospice on a weekly basis developing a collaborative and innovative arts into health project.
Copies of this hardback book are available for £10 each. Please contact me or St Giles if you would like a copy. Hopefully there will also soon be an option to buy online.

A meaningful project celebrating memories
Led by a team of two arts into health workers, a poet, two visual artists and a documentary photographer, the creative team decided upon " Unique People Unique Identities" as an initial title for the project. Although the plan was to make artwork for the interior environment of the hospice and a book, it was from the outset designed to be a collaborative project in which the journey (creative process) would be as significant as the destination (the book and the final artworks on the wall).

An integrated, collaborative arts project
Weekly creative sessions were intended to improve people's feeling of wellbeing and by using creative and artistic ways of working, to unlock memories and spark meaningful conversations with people. The creative sessions began as a series of writing and reminiscence sessions, the aim of which was to encourage those who both worked in and attended the Hospice to share their life experiences, the people and places and things that mean something to them, those moments in time past that remain part of a vivid and ever-living present; their fears, their sorrows, their joys. Poetry was the creative medium chosen to embrace and capture these sessions since it has a way of focussing attention on the small details of memory and experience and of bringing them up close, into the here and now, making them new and clear and fresh. The visual artists were able to enrich this creative experience with aesthetic interpretations that both reflected and informed further creative dialogue.
Promoting Psychological Wellbeing
Both sorrows and joys were shared and discussed during the sessions and there were moments of laughter as well as moments of reflective sadness and contemplation, but the overall ambience was a positive and jubilant one. Reflecting upon the creative sessions, one patient said " Whilst we were working together in the sessions, I forgot I had cancer." This simple sentence, spoken from the heart, gave the whole project a profound sense of meaning for all involved. It was a testament to the importance of psychological wellbeing, in the face of biological challenges.

Art in Salutogenic Design
So, what is Salutogenesis?
So, what is "salutogenesis?" Mother Theresa once said that she would not join a march against war but would join one for peace. Such a march, she argued, would not only empower people to end war, but also help them create the basis for peace. In her view, the process of creating peace was different from merely ending war. In the same way, the concept of salutogenesis implies that professionals - and not just health professionals - should work to create health rather than simply focusing on treating or preventing disease.[1]
Since my last blog about salutogenic design I have been offered the above description of salutogenesis which I thought I would share with you. In this second part of my blog post about salutogenesis I would like to focus on the role of art within this theory.
Using art to reinforce the salutogenic model
A salutogenic approach to healthcare design can be strengthened through the use of artwork. If an artwork in a hospital waiting area can provoke positive contemplation, offer a sense of beauty, reflect the calming quality of nature, it surely offers a sense of meaning. This is especially the case when the creation of artworks is carried out in collaboration with patients. I work with landscape, focusing on the experience of nature and people's memories. For the last 10 years I have worked on healthcare projects and witnessed the positive effect of landscape and nature images on patients and staff in the healthcare environment.
Apart from the obvious calming qualities of nature and landscapes, there is an aspect of inspiration, encouraging people to go and discover places for themselves, promoting rehabilitation and a healthy lifestyle. For the infirm or elderly for whom it may be difficult to access the landscapes so easily, there is a therapeutic benefit of talking about landscapes and places, opening up positive memory paths and encouraging healthy contemplation and discussion. We often think of landscape as only physical, an environment separate from us which we enter into, but in fact the very notion of landscape and our experience of it can only be viewed in terms of the human mind. As the historian Simon Schama in his book on landscape and memory points out:
"Before it can ever be the repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock" [2]
A sense of coherence
So, to return to Antonovsky's notion of a sense of coherence which is supported by three elements; meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability , it is clear that artwork has a role to play in building that triangle. Creative workshops underpin the making of artwork and open up dialogue between patients (and staff), fostering a sense of positivity, a healing process which lessens the sense of isolation and accentuates the meaningfulness of life. Creative intervention in the healthcare environment not only works to increase the patient's sense of meaningfulness but also their sense of comprehensibility and manageability. For if creative workshops and the experience of art can work to give meaning to life they also increase one's understanding of life (comprehensibility) and also motivate an individual's belief that they have the skills and abilities to persist (manageability), in spite of stress and anxieties they may feel.
Just last week on a workshop at St Giles Palliative Care Hospice one patient made the comment: 'Whilst we were working together in the sessions, I forgot I had cancer.' This is what it is all about, using creativity to harness a sense of wellbeing. Artwork and creative workshops in the healthcare environment can play a vital role in the healing process but could also be part of our general well-being, not just when we are in poor health. For a true salutogenic approach to healthcare should not just be in place when we are ill, but should be in place when we are healthy and with the intention to create health and not just treat disease.
"At its heart, the salutogenic approach focuses on the maximisation of those assets which create health, wellbeing and successful lives of individuals. The traditional pathogenic approach focuses more on avoiding problems than on enhancing potential."[1]
Creativity - a vital part of life
Exposure to sunlight, breathing fresh air, experiencing nature, going for a walk, playing or listening to music, reading poetry and seeing visual art are vital aspects of our human existence, but sadly so much of our existence is devoid of these experiences that a sense of meaningfulness is not achieved in many lives, whether they are physically healthy or not. I've recently been reading I'm Still Here by John Zeisel and feel that this quote from the book below emphasizes this point:
"We each have a need and natural aptitude for art that we realize how much we miss only when we find ourselves without other supports in our lives....For older people in general and people living with Alzheimer's disease in particular who have lost work roles and take part in fewer intimate family activities, engagement in art and art experiences play a special role. The arts can provide meaning in what to many is experienced as an ever increasingly meaningless life. Art connects people to their culture and to their community. It gives meaning to life and it is meaning that people with Alzheimer's so dearly crave."[3]
Creative Arts into Health Project for St Giles Hospice
Over the past 6 months I have been working on a project for the St Giles Palliative Care Hospice near Lichfield. I feel this project has been very supportive of the salutogenic model. The St Giles Arts into Health project has been a collaborative effort, creatively engaging everyone in the hospice community; patients, staff, volunteers, carers and managers. The fun yet purposeful sessions led by creative people have encouraged people to connect and share memories from their lives through a positive, meaningful process. Poems have been written and artworks created, inspired by memories shared. The project has resulted in a book "Being Here" which is due to be published shortly and launched during Dying Matters week 2014 (May 12th - 16th). More about this nearer the time....

Winter Landscapes | Cool Artworks
A collection of cool winter landscapes made in collaboration with staff and patients in the new Burns Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham
I was commissioned alongside two other artists (Kate Green and Mark Renn) to make a body of artwork for the new Burns Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The new hospital, completed in 2010, is a modern state-of-the-art building in many respects but due to its design with internal courtyards, some departments such as the Burns Centre found themselves relocated to new spaces with little or no natural daylight. The 15 spacious and private patient rooms all have windows but only to the internal courtyard where daylight hardly reaches. Artists were therefore brought in to bring a sense of light and the outdoors into the Burns Centre. The function of the artwork was intended to have both environmental and psychological benefits. Due to the nature of the Burns Centre patients, it was suggested that cool colours would be a preference. Since it was winter I was able to make the most of the cold, even snowy weather to achieve this. Below are some of the images and installation photos.

Tenbury Wells Hospital
Artworks for a community hospital: Tenbury Wells Hospital, Worcestershire
Over a period of 5 months from 2011 - 2012 I have been visiting the Worcestershire/Shropshire landscapes around the town of Tenbury Wells. My brief was to make 2 large works for the new male and female wards in Tenbury Hospital. Working with staff and patient representatives, locations and viewpoints were discussed and a shortlist was made of the best local landmarks and viewpoints. Returning to the area over many months I became familiar with the area and finally settled on two viewpoints to work with for the final two pieces. It was then just a case of returning time and time again until the light was right and then for the magic to happen on the film (which is not easy given the experimental nature of my work). Although each image was made in a matter of seconds, I think there are at least 10 days of driving, walking and waiting behind each one!
Each image was made up to 280 cm by 80 cm and mounted onto aluminium. Installation took place in May 2012...
Salutogenic Design
Salutogenic design in healthcare
I have recently been reading about the theory of salutogenesis, in particular salutogenic design, and would like to share this interesting and pertinent theory. The term 'salutogenesis' was developed in the 1970's by Aaron Antonovsky, a professor of medical sociology. It is derived from the Latin salus meaning health and the Greek genesis meaning origin, so it could be phrased as the 'origins of health'.
The study of health rather than the study of disease
The salutogenic approach to healthcare looks at the origins of health as oppose to the pathogenic approach to healthcare which looks at the origin (or causes) of disease (pathos). Salutogenic theory looks for the root of unhealthiness rather than just treating the disease.
"Visualize a river with a bend. Downstream, where the river has become very turbulent, we find people desperately struggling to keep their heads above water. Using a great variety of weapons, the disease care professionals, with great devotion, skill and arduous effort, seek to save those in danger of drowning. We pay almost no attention to, and invest few resources in, this school cogently points out, what goes on upstream. We do not ask: Who or what is pushing these people into the river?"
Aaron Antonovsky, Lecture at the Congress for Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Berlin, 1990
A sense of coherence
]According to Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis, a strong sense of coherence (SOC) promotes good health. Antonovsky divided the notion of SOC into three components; comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. Undoubtedly meaningfulness is the most important of the three as one requires a sense of meaning in their life in order to persist, to carry on and face challenges which life presents them with. Given a sense of meaningfulness, one is motivated to comprehend and manage events in their life.
A science for positive health
This is a school of thought centred on well-being, healing not just the body, but the soul. The advocates of the salutogenic model are not against the pathogenic model, but believe a combination of the two approaches is required to develop a greater understanding of both health and disease. The pathogenic approach focuses on treating or curing the disease, while the salutogenic approach focuses on well-being, promoting and maintaining good health. Salutogenic research has been carried out widely in the medical world but only in recent years is the theory slowly beginning to penetrate practice in the real world and become a part of healthcare policy. In the field of healthcare design, salutogenic theory is becoming incorporated into architecture. It is at long last becoming widely recognized that healthcare buildings need to be uplifting, welcoming spaces, promoting health and well-being, creating positive spaces with light, colour and fresh air. Tragically, the architecture of our healthcare buildings of the past century have offered quite the opposite.
Salutogenic Design in contemporary healthcare architecture:

While we are all aware that our physical environment has an impact on our mental well-being, much of the public architecture of the post-war years in the west has not been created with our human needs in mind. The scientific and evidence based research which is being carried out by sociologists, medical professionals and designers to promote the salutogenic model will hopefully justify what Bill Millard refers to in his article in Architect Magazine, as common sense:
"In some respects, salutogenesis applies simple common sense to the relationship of environments, bodies, and minds. What makes it a coherent school of thought is its reliance on interdisciplinary research, connecting biomedical knowledge with an explicit mission to place human well-being—not financial imperatives—at the center of creative strategies."
Bill Millard, Architect Magazine, January 2012

I have merely scratched the surface of this subject, for which there are volumes of research and publications, that continue to promote and develop both theory and practice. I would like to research further and share more thoughts on this here on my blog, but meanwhile here is some recommended further reading on salutogenesis and salutogenic design:

Film Photography, Long Exposure and Walter Benjamin
The longest ever exposure?
Following on from my last blog post which looked at long exposure photography and the writings of Walter Benjamin, I would like to share the work of Michael Wesely, a German photographer who makes incredible exposures which last up to 3 years! His photographs reveal the developments of Berlin, a city which has changed dramatically over the past decades. In just one of Wesely's photographs he shows the destruction of the old and construction of the new, all within a single frame and captured on one piece of photographic film. Michael Wesely has been using his non-digital, film photography process since the 1990's using mostly black and white through to recent years when he has also used colour. From 2001 - 2004 he documented the demolition and reconstruction of Moma (The Museum of Modern Art) in New York.
Changing position of the sun recorded on film
Wesely's photographs are far removed from the modern snap-shot and could be said to reinforce Walter Benjamin's notion of 'aura'. They reveal the transitory nature of urban construction, an absence of human life (since we move too much to register on the film!) and at the same time reveal the movement of the earth over the year(s) through the light lines which record the different positions of the sun throughout the seasons.
More about the interesting work by Michael Wesely can be found here:

The aura of long exposure photography
Long exposure photography and the notion of 'aura'
When I look at early portraits such as those by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, I cannot help but feel that they capture an essence, an honesty that the modern snapshot so often fails to achieve. I see a sense of time and what Walter Benjamin referred to as the 'aura' of the person. There is a softness in the eyes, simply caused by blinking during long exposure photography and there is an absence of mimics and grimaces since any momentary facial movements could not be captured. So the face is captured in its most natural state in contrast to the modern snap shot which we are all too familiar with –in which we are often captured in unflattering split second mimics.
"The procedure itself caused the subject to focus his whole life in the moment rather than hurrying on past it: during the considerable period of the exposure the subject as it were grew into the picture, in the sharpest contrast with appearances in a snapshot…"

Through the dissection of time, time itself is absent
The short exposure enables us to capture 'reality' - or as I might call it, a 'slice of reality' - in detail, but I feel it also removes a dimension of reality - the dimension of time. Time does not stop in our experienced reality and we are not able to stop a fraction of a second in our minds as the camera does. Time by its very nature is continuous. The short exposure reveals to us what we are actually unable to experience with our eyes, but through this dissection of time, time itself is, in most photographs, absent. The long exposure on the other hand allows movement to leave its mark, suggesting the passing of time which is closer to our experience of time.
"If, while resting on a summer afternoon, you follow with your eyes a mountain range on the horizon or a branch which casts its shadow over you, you experience the aura of those mountains, of that branch. This image makes it easy to comprehend the social bases of the contemporary decay of the aura. It rests on two circumstances, both of which are related to the increasing significance of the masses in contemporary life. Namely, the desire of contemporary masses to bring things "closer" spatially and humanly, which is just as ardent as their bent toward overcoming the uniqueness of every reality by accepting its reproduction. Every day the urge grows stronger to get hold of an object at very close range by way of its likeness, its reproduction."

Attempting to capture the aura of a place
"the withering of the aura thus corresponds to the destruction of the depth of subjective experience in modernity."Walter Benjamin
When I first began taking photographs seriously I was often disappointed when returning from a shoot. Although I may have captured that place technically well and shown in a few images how it looks, I never felt that a photograph captured how it really felt when I was there.
In the same sense that Walter Benjamin wrote about the aura of people in portraits, I feel that landscape too has an aura. I want to capture a feeling of place and for me the obvious approach was to allow more time to be recorded by the camera. When walking through a landscape (or a city) I do not want to stand still and frame a moment but rather to allow the place and my journey through it be recorded on the film. I hope that through the long exposure onto film and my movement with the camera through a space, time is captured not as a momentary fragment, but as an impression which reveals the aura, the essence of that place.

Artwork for Palliative Care Hospice
Park Lime Pits
"We used to play here as kids, paddling in the water, catching sticklebacks. There were never any adults around, just us kids playing around, carefree. Then later in 1957 this was my courting place as it was for many couples who wanted to go somewhere quiet to get away from it all. We would walk down from Ryecroft down the path by the cemetery. It was known then as the Sixty Steps and would take you down to Park Lime Pits."
Park Lime Pits was specifically made as an artwork for palliative care. This piece was made as a commission for the St Giles Palliative Care Hospice in Walsall. Through visits to the "Friday group" at the Day Centre, I got to know some of the people who were about to move into the newly built Palliative Care Hospice.
Park Lime Pits was a local nature reserve, one of which many of the people at the hospice had stories to tell. For one elderly lady it was a place where she once used to meet or 'court' with her partner in the evenings, another remembered spending days playing down there with other children, trying to catch fish and generally messing around freely in the pond. For others it was a place to go for a quiet walk, to spend some contemplative time.
A place of sanctuary
To me, this place did not hold any of these memories, I was very much an outsider, not even a local. I visited this small nature reserve, centered around a large pond, many times over a period of 5 months. I walked around at sunrise, at sunset, on winter mornings and summer afternoons until slowly I found the view I wanted to capture. It was very obvious view from the main approach along a footpath down to the pond, but somehow that was the essence of this place, the discovery of a pool of water in a wooded hollow in the landscape. There was a feeling of something hidden within the landscape, a place kept safe, private, away from the open skies. From the stories people shared with me about Park Lime Pits, I felt that it was a magical place, a place of innocence and freedom. A place where time did not matter. Time here, whether it was now or 50 years ago, was one. This was a place of retreat, of sanctuary.
Embracing the notion of memory with artwork for palliative care
Making artwork for palliative care was quite a different experience to other healthcare commissions I had worked on. Most of the people I talked to about this place will probably never have the chance to visit it again in their lifetimes. This had a sobering impact on me but also made me want to really capture the essence of this place. So it was so important to capture it just how it was for them, and how it is for them- still vivid in their memories.
I was planning to photograph this location for the main reception of the hospice and knew that it had to be a vertical image and that it would be a light box. I wanted it to have the feeling of a view into another world, like a sneak preview of a hidden garden, a rich habitat of fervent green undergrowth and tranquil waters. The fact that in reality now it might have been a pond with the occasional shopping trolley, car tyre or beer can, really did not matter. This piece was to be about memory and in honour of real human memories, those which live on beyond the everyday experience of life.
Park Lime Pits, 300 cm x 120 cm Light Box, installed in the reception of St Giles Palliative Care Hospice
While this image was my preference for the reception of the hospice, I wanted to first get feedback from the people whose memories it was to represent. At the Day Centre, there was an overwhelming vote for this image and subsequently the Creative Development team, NHS steering group and the architects all agreed that this was the piece.

Art for Hospitals – the healing process
A case study on the benefits of art for hospitals
The relationship between art and therapy has existed since the beginnings of humanity. In ancient times the figure of the healer and artist would often overlap.The shaman in many primitive cultures would play the role of a healer and incorporate art such as dance, visual art, music, etc. in his healing processes. It was believed - actually throughout the whole human history - that soul and body were connected and the attempt to heal the body was not done without an attempt to heal the soul. There is an ancient Roman and Greek proverb: Mens sana in corpore sano (in Greek: Νοῦς ὑγιὴς ἐν σώματι ὑγιεῖ - "Healthy spirit in healthy body"). Even in Christianity the first icon-painter, St Luke the Evangelist, was also a doctor.
Our physical health goes hand in hand with our mental and emotional health. We need to be healthy, but we also need to feel healthy. Art is connected to the human spirit; we are creative beings, whether it is to create or to experience a created work. Art gives us strength, inspiration and a feeling of being alive. All this applies to all kinds of art and creativity in general, but even more so to visual art. Out of the five senses, the sense of vision is the most developed one in humans. Have we not heard the expression: "The eyes are the windows of our minds"?
So while it may seem that the idea of art for hospitals is something new, it is in fact an old concept which has been somewhat abandoned in recent times and only just making a come-back.
"There are ample reminders of art placed in hospitals in previous centuries. William Hogarth's 18th-century painting "Pool of Bethesda" still hangs on the grand staircase of Bart's Hospital. But paintings were often banished from the wards by the post-war trend of brutal minimalism that swept through hospitals and other public buildings. It is only in recent years that hospitals have witnessed a modern renaissance."

The Burns Centre, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham - bringing a sense of light and nature into the clinical space
Above: before and after artwork installation
I was commissioned alongside two other artists (Kate Green and Mark Renn) to make a body of artwork for the new Burns Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The new hospital, completed in 2010, is a modern state-of-the-art building in many respects but due to its design with internal courtyards, some departments such as the Burns Centre found themselves relocated to new spaces with little or no natural daylight. The 15 spacious and private patient rooms all have windows but only to the internal courtyard where daylight hardly reaches. Artists were therefore brought in to bring a sense of light and the outdoors into the Burns Centre. The function of the artwork was intended to have both environmental and psychological benefits.
Speaking to staff and patients, I soon realised that there was a desire for light and nature, particularly horizons and long reaching views which they were otherwise deprived of during their stay. Many critical patients stay from days to weeks or months in the department and for many it is a place of rehabilitation after serious surgery. For many the corridors of the centre are the areas in which they begin to walk and get out and about again for the first time. My brief was to make artworks for these corridors.
Artwork to help the rehabilitation process
The artworks I made act as 'way-markers' not only for navigating around the centre but also as individual 'goals' for rehabilitation patients to reach as they become more mobile. It was therefore essential to discuss the project with patients before making the work. Patients spoke of wanting to see nature, to see a big horizon, trees, water and the sky.It was decided to make the body of photographs within the catchment area of the hospital, therefore keeping it local and also with the addition of plaques with maps, hopefully each of the photograph represents a 'real' place that they can go and explore for themselves one day. Both patients and staff were happy to talk about places they would go for walks and time out and I soon had a long list of places to visit. I hope that with my artworks I offer the patients not only photographs of these places but also how it feels to be there.
Winter Woodland, 2012 A plaque was made for each piece to identify the
location and to encourage people to go and
find places for themselves
Cool colours for Burns Centre
Colour was an important factor to consider when making work for the Burns Centre. Since many patients are coming in having suffered burns from heat or fire, a cool, soothing colour palette was desired. Thankfully it was winter and I was able to take advantage of the frosty mornings and even some snow on the hills around Birmingham.
Psychologists report on impact of artwork in hospital
From the early stages of this project a psychologist was involved to assess the improvements made. A survey was carried out before the art was installed and then three months later. Before, staff reported that patients would complain about the blank walls, lack of things to look at and absence of daylight. After the installation of artwork, there was a noticeable difference in the comments from patients and staff, a general consensus of a better feeling.
As a result of the project, comments such as "the rooms were boring and offered little distraction", coming from patients and staff, were reduced by more than three quarters.
Some of the comments recorded in a survey before and after the installation of artwork:
Time 1 – prior to artwork installation
Time 2 - after artwork installation
"Boring, nothing to look at"
"It's a talking point"
"Blank walls need brightening up"
"The pictures give a bit or respite from being stuck in a room"
"The pictures have a calming influence on the corridors and reception"
"Lack of distraction"
"Patients are walking up to pictures in corridors"
In terms of improvements to the clinical environment, the report suggests that as a result of the artwork, patients and staff were beginning to feel more positive about their surroundings. Besides the visual, 'decorative' function of my work, I do hope that the presence of my work will also offer spiritual healing to some people, to offer contemplation, to inspire imagination and ultimately to give hope.
When I sometimes receive feedback from patients who contact me, explaining how my work helped them during their stay in hospital, it all seems worthwhile. If art can supplement the healing process, then surely it has a place in our hospitals as it does in our lives.

Many investors are turning to property flipping in order to make their profits. While fixing and flipping can be a lucrative source of income, there are some considerations to keep in mind, such as the way you obtain your funding.
What Is Fixing and Flipping?
Fix and flip loans are short-term loans that real estate investors can use in order to renovate a property before listing it on the market. This is to increase the value of a property and flip it for a larger profit.
Fix and flip loans are typically high-interest loans due to the short term of a fix and flip project. In most cases, an investor will purchase a distressed property below the market price. Next, they'll attempt to fix the property. This might include a full renovation, fixing the foundations or dressing it up and fully installing certain amenities and extras. Next, the goal is to flip the property by taking into account the price paid for the property, the renovation investment and also a profit margin.
Who Provides Fix and Flip Loans?
In most cases, fix and flip loans are offered by private money lenders to private investors or business entities.
What Risks Are Involved?
Fixing and flipping sounds like a great way to make a profit from old and distressed properties, but it doesn't come without risks.
It's important to understand what you're doing when it comes to renovating a property in order for it to sell quickly on the market. You also need to pay off the loan by the deadline or else your lender will resort to foreclosure. It takes experience and knowledge of the property market to make fix and flip loans lucrative.
What Is Expected of Me?
Typically, a fix and flip loan will require you to invest a down payment. This can be anywhere between 20% to 40% of the property's value in your own money. You'll also need to provide a personal guarantee. Most lenders will also require you to show them a plan of action and how much money you estimate you'll need for the fix and flip project. There are standard loan fees such as administrative fees and inspections.
Once you've been approved, you'll need to work quickly to repair the property and re-list it on the market at a higher price. Once the project has concluded, you'll pay off your loan and the terms will be met.
Wrap up . . .
Fix and flip loans are a good way for property investors to advance their career and make a profit, but it does require considerable knowledge of the markets and an understanding of how to rehab a property.

Interview: Morgan Stinson
I want to take advantage of this blog, and give readers a further understanding of what it means to support recovery centers & organizations of the like. Here at Yellow Rose Tattoo, in Salt Lake City, we work with the Rape Recovery Center of Utah, often. Morgan Stinson is the Development Director at RRC and was kind enough to lend me some time and answers to my questions.
(A) Hi Morgan!
First, thank you so much for lending your time to my questions. I am excited to share information with some curious minds.
(M) Thank you, Ashley! I'm excited to get to talk to you.
(A) I'm wondering if you can shed some light on what an experience (as a survivor) with the Rape Recovery Center might look like. For someone who has never approached a Recovery Center, it may be difficult to imagine what you offer and what is available to survivors/loved ones of survivors.
(M) Our goal at the Rape Recovery Center is to support survivors through every stage of their healing journey, so we offer quite a broad scope of services in order to meet the many individual needs survivors may have. We operate a 24-hour crisis line that anyone can call 24/7 to talk to a trained Advocate for immediate information, resources and support. That number is 801-467-7273.
We also have a team of Hospital Response Advocates that work on-call 24/7 responding anytime a survivor in Salt Lake County chooses to report an assault. These Advocates are there to offer personal support through the entire 4-8 hour process, which can be a very emotionally and physically overwhelming time. These Advocates provide everything from a change of clothes, blanket, and resources for the survivor and family. They are there to really make sure the survivor feels believed, supported and in control the entire time.
We offer weekly individual counseling and therapy for survivors and secondary survivors (a secondary survivor is anyone who is supporting a survivor, like a family member or partner) of any gender, over 14 years old. All services are provided on a donation only basis, and many folks access our services at no cost. Our Therapist and Counselors also host weekly support groups that vary in topic, like an Art Therapy group, a processing group for Male survivors, a group focused on mindfulness, a group facilitated in Spanish, yoga groups, to name a few.
A lot of people don't know we also engage thousands of community members each year through our education and prevention efforts. We have a team of incredible Educators that develop tailored curricula and travel across the Salt Lake Valley to teach about consent, healthy relationships and how we can prevent sexual violence altogether.
(A) Could you let me know some examples of what donations may go toward, at the Rape Recovery Center of Utah?
(M) Great question! As a non-profit, we rely on donations from the community to keep our doors open and fund every component of our operation. Donations are the reason we are able to provide our services at no cost to survivors! Gifts of any size make a big impact in our ability to keep up with continually growing demand, but to give you a few ideas, a gift of $50 will pay for an individual Skills Counseling appointment, and a gift of $75 dollars would cover the cost of a Therapy session with one of our licensed clinicians. $250 covers all of the expenses for one of our Hospital Response Advocates to be dispatched to accompany a survivor throughout the duration of their Rape Kit. Donations also provide much needed supplies for our Prevention and Education Team, as they interact with youth, families, and the community every day.
(A) What are the different roles that trained volunteers play at RRC?
(M) Our volunteers play a big role at the Center. They support our client services by operating the 24-hour crisis line, assisting with in-office client support, and by becoming volunteer members of our Hospital Response Team. Volunteers also support our Outreach efforts by tabling at community events and assisting with Rape Recovery Center events. We have volunteer projects that range from making journals for our clients to putting together the resource packets we bring to survivors in the hospital, and we love connecting with new volunteers who want to bring their skills to our work. You can check out our website for details on how to become a volunteer with us!
(A) Here's one last question, out of my personal curiosity! How does this field of work affect you? Also, how do you go about maintaining self-care when you feel overwhelmed by the energy & emotions that this work requires.
(M) This work can definitely become overwhelming, especially during this time when we are seeing more survivors than ever come forward and access our services, which means keeping up with constantly growing demand. It is equally inspiring though, because we are getting the chance to serve more individuals than ever. When things get hard, thinking about the incredible displays of strength and resilience I see in survivors at the Center helps ground me. One therapist here always reminds us, "self-care is not an option, it is a necessity," which I think is a tip everyone can take from. I set aside regular time to get away and take care of myself, because it really is a necessity for us all.
(A) Thank you so much, again!!
(M) Thank you for being such a fierce advocate for this work!!

The 40-acre site is located on the denuded hills to the northeast of Madurai in South India. The highest point within the site offers views of several cultural and geological landmarks in the distance, the most recognizable being the gopurams of the famous Meenakshi Temple to the south and the Elephant Hill to the southeast.
The project is grounded in the idea that botanical gardens are working landscapes that begin simply and move towards complexity. The starting point in this case was the planting of five plant species: bougainvillea, plumeria, gardenia, oleander, and palms. Instead of placing each species in a zone of its own, we give each one a strategic orientation that allows each species to order the site on its terms, even extend across and beyond it. Each of these lines extends to a significant point on the horizon such as Meenakshi Temple and the famous Elephant Hill among other sacred hills. At the displaced confluence of these lines is located a conference center, a prospect, and a nursery.
Even as the initial garden begins operation from a center to the periphery, a planting of fruit and forest trees begin from the periphery inwards, occupying crevasses and areas open to colonization.

GDPR is on everyone's minds and in everyone's inboxes right now. But what does it have to do with today's CSO and his or her career track?
GDPR provides a rare opportunity for a CSO to place his or her fingerprints on the company's data privacy approach and practices. CSOs are in a unique position to both help guide their companies through a difficult process and benefit from career development and exposure. GDPR is a compliance forcing function at a scale that we haven't seen in nearly 20 years (i.e. SOX). If a CSO is able to bring together the many pieces, he or she will lead their company and ultimately their career to success.
As of May 25, 2018, GDPR became enforceable. The challenge for CSOs is to consider how prepared they are to drive this initiative and lead their companies to success. Most security and compliance regulations require a cultural change within the ranks to take hold, but many think that GDPR is the big one that will govern us all or at the very least will set the tone. Though the EU took the lead on data privacy, this law affects all companies.
In this two part series, I'll share a few suggestions for CSOs who want to use GDPR's arrival as an opportunity to further their company's success as well as their own.
Know your role as it relates to GDPR
As the CSO, it will be your responsibility to rally around the cause of data privacy and use this opportunity to bring everyone in your company (and its many third party relationships) along for the journey. It sounds difficult, but the good news is that you already know where and how the data flows throughout the company and how the specific people functions intertwine with that data.
In many ways, you (and your teams) are the true data source providers and keepers. Whether ceremoniously or officially, you are the Data Protection Officer. The knowledge from being in this position provides a unique opportunity for you. You are one of the executive leaders within your company that can appropriately drive collaboration and guidance and help mentor those directly affected by GDPR. Do not let this opportunity pass you by.
Your first step is to identify who, in the company, fits into the two main roles under GDPR; Data Controllers called "Controllers" and Data Processors called "Processors". If your company is processing personal data in any way then both roles exist within your company. Your knowledge of the subject can be used to reach out, bring people together, and build a strong training program that will bring your company into compliance.
Weaving together the many parts of your company to ensure that data privacy is handled correctly is no easy task. You may be hamstrung by the complexity of your own proprietary technology. You may have hundreds of groups all contributing, in different data sets, to the data collective. Bringing these disparate teams together may be challenging as each group may come to the table with a different data collection and dispersal approach.
Every entity that works with data is under the same obligations for data privacy. Though the initial projections are that the bark of GDPR will be smaller than the bite, the threat of 4% of top-line revenue will hopefully motivate the correct behavior.
In part two, I'll be discussing knowing where your security program relates to GDPR and how GDPR can help position you to help drive Sales enablement.
**I am not a CSO practitioner nor a GDPR expert. I am however a zealot and advocate for the CSO's career development and the promotion of their increasing impact within today's organizations.

Reader 21stCenturyMike posted the following in the comments below. I thought it merited its own post.
This mans pathIf any of you have similar oaths you want to take or declarations to make, let us hear them.
I am a man that wishes to walk in peace, but prepares for war. It is my way, it was my father's way, and it is my ancestral heritage to become the warrior when called. That warrior spirit has become restless and I now seek refuge in an old code. Ancient whispers call to me and I feel the grail I seek is near. The choice is mine and I can no longer ride between the many trails that life has presented me. Now I stand before two paths as I emerged from the wilderness of time. I have sought the spirit guides of old and felt the yearning power of both paths. I am a man of the sea and soil and before me lies the time to choose. I seek the righteous path, that path of honor and loyalty my heart aches to follow. Let me walk with you for a short time on this gloomy day as I seek the wind and sky above the ground I shall walk and defend as my own. I may never have need of the comfort I perceive in chivalry, but will have the joy of knowing a knightly existence. The human condition is warmed by the hearth shared with comrades in arms and friends well defended. Chivalry shall be the foundation of my hearth and home. Come, join me, teach me, and experience my joy as I learn how to follow this primordial calling.
In the meantime, "The Lady of the Lake" has hit 99 comments at this time. I believe that's far and away a record for the Hall.

Fredrik Lanner
Assistant Professor Fredrik Lanner undertook his PhD thesis at the department of Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) Karolinska Institutet followed by postdoctoral research in Janet Rossants lab at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Having returned to Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, he has established his independent research lab exploring how pluripotent stem cells are regulated in the human embryo and how we best could use embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for treatment of age related macular degeneration.
To start exploring early human development and pluripotency the Lanner lab has recently published a single cell transcriptional roadmap of human preimplantation development (Petropoulos et. al., Cell 2016). The lab is now exploring the potential of human embryo genome editing in fundamental research and specifically to elucidate which of these genes are important for early human development and pluripotent stem cells. Such knowledge could also be important to understand causes of infertility.
In order to use ESCs in reparative medicine the cells must be established and cultured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). For this purpose the lab has initiated the work to establish new ES cell lines within a GMP facility. We hope that these cells will be a valuable resource to which will allow many research teams to make the move from bench to bedside within the field of reparative medicine.
Finally, building on our recently established xeno-free and defined protocol to generate ESCs derived retinal cells (Plaza-Reyes et al 2016) we will work towards the use these cells in clinical trials addressing age-related macular degeneration.

Inhabitants of Canada! After thirty years of peace and prosperity, the United States have been drive to arms…To the peaceable, unoffending inhabitant, it brings neither danger nor difficulty. I come to find enemies, not to make them; I come to protect, not to injure you…In the name of my country, and by the authority of my government, I promise you protection to your persons, property, and rights; remain at your homes, raise not your hands against your brethren, pursue your peaceful and customary avocations…You will be emancipated from tyranny and oppression…If, contrary to your own interest and the just expectation of my country you shall take part in the approaching contest, you will be considered and treated as enemies, and the horrors and calamities of war will stalk before you…The first stroke of a tomahawk, the first attempt with the scalping knife, will be the signal of one indiscriminate scene of desolation…Instant destruction will be your lot.
— William Hull, message to the people of Canada, July 12, 1812 —
As Europe lay in the grip of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, tensions began to rise between the two great English-speaking powers: Great Britain and the United States. Just three decades earlier the American colonies had broken free of the mother country, and leaders on both sides felt there was unfinished business to attend to. British leaders pointed to America's willingness to trade with revolutionary France as evidence of their perfidy, while in Washington a group known as the "war hawks," led by Congressman Henry Clay of Kentucky, railed against the Royal Navy's practice of pressing American sailors into service and London's support of Tecumseh's Shawnee Confederacy as casus belli. President James Madison, who had authored the US Constitution and now sat in the White House, had resisted calls to war, but by the summer of 1812 the diplomatic crisis between the two countries had reached its peak. On June 1st, Madison sent a letter to Congress and asked for a declaration of war, citing British impressment on the high seas as the cause. On the 18th, only days before Napoleon's invasion of the Russian Empire, Congress declared war on Great Britain.
Neither side was truly prepared for the war. The British fleet, though victorious over the French at Trafalgar seven years earlier, was engaged in a blockade that was slowly strangling Napoleon's economy, and the British Army under the Duke of Wellington was locked in combat in Spain and Portugal. The United States Army was in a shambles, having endured brutal funding and personnel cuts under Thomas Jefferson. The Navy was in better shape, with six topof-the-line frigates that could match any other warship in their class, but they were outnumbered more than one hundred to one on the high seas! The Army and Navy departments were disorganized, and field commanders tended to disobey orders from the higher commands. Most importantly, the American political climate was bitterly divided on the issue of war. The Federalists opposed any conflict with Great Britain, citing their commercial interests and the threat of invasion from Canada, while Madison's Democratic-Republicans were eager for war no matter the cost. As the two nations readied their forces, it was clear that this "Second War of American Independence" would be a case study in rapid preparations, disorganized command, and last-minute turns of the tide.
The War on Land, 1812-13
The early land campaigns in the War of 1812 were disastrous for the United States. Less than a month after the war began, General William Hull marched an army of twelve hundred men into Canada from Detroit, calling on the Canadians to surrender or suffer the "horrors and calamities of war." When he learned of a Shawnee uprising in northern Illinois and Indiana, he promptly retreated back to Detroit and then surrendered to a British force one-third his own strength under General Isaac Brock without firing a shot. The Shawnee pledged to allow the defenders of Fort Dearborn (now Chicago) and Detroit to return to Kentucky and Ohio unharmed, but they then ambushed the retreating Americans and murdered more than half of them—including women and children. The twin defeats at Fort Dearborn and Detroit meant that the United States had lost control of the northern two-thirds of the Northwest Territory (what is now the Midwest), and the eastern three Great Lakes were now closed to the Americans. Later that year, the United States tried to invade Canada across the Niagara River near Buffalo. General Brock, now in overall command of the Canadian defenders, held the line, though he was killed in the fighting.
The United States fared better in 1813. Hull had been courtmartialed and succeeded by General William Henry Harrison, the "Hero of Tippecanoe" who understood Native American battlefield tactics. After a reversal at Frenchtown in January, Harrison maneuvered and struck enemy targets to hold the British and Shawnee in Michigan and block their advance into Ohio. At the same time, an American army under Zebulon Pike, crossed into Canada and burned the capital city of York (now Toronto). Pike died in battle, and the Canadians were eager for revenge at the destruction of this very important city. By October, General Harrison had driven the enemy back into Canada, and he attacked along the Thames River in Ontario in October 1813.
The Battle of the Thames was decisive for the United States in three ways. First, it put an end to the British threat to the Northwest Territory; second, the leader of the Shawnee Confederacy, Tecumseh, was killed during the battle; and third, it propelled General Harrison to great fame as one of the two leading military figures of the war.
The War at Sea, 1812-13
The United States fared much better at sea in the first eighteen months of the war. America's six frigates, augmented by smaller vessels, began raiding British shipping on the high seas. These ships were faster and more modern than their British counterparts—able to outfight or outrun anything the Royal Navy had afloat. On August 19, 1812, the most famous sailing warship in American history, the USS Constitution, engaged the British warship Guerriere in a fierce battle four hundred miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Constitution's hull was reinforced by iron bands and packed with surplus cotton unsold thanks to Thomas Jefferson's Embargo Act, and many British shots bounced off her. Captain Isaac Hull, nephew to the defeated General William Hull, expertly maneuvered the Constitution to destroy Guerriere's rudder, and the British ship struck her colors. For the first time in American military history, an American warship had claimed a vessel of the Royal Navy as a prize (though she was too badly damaged to be captured, and was burned instead). The Constitution's victory earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides," and she remains today a symbol of the strength and resilience of the United States Navy. The ship is now a museum in Boston Harbor, and she is still a commissioned vessel in the US Navy.
America's frigates soon faced the wrath of the British in the Atlantic, and the USS Chesapeake was captured by HMS Shannon in June 1813. The US Navy was unable to win any major victories in the Atlantic after 1813 and failed to prevent the British invasions the following year. However, attention turned to the Great Lakes, where an arms race was heating up over which side could build the largest and most powerful ships on these placid waters. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry took command of all American forces on the Great Lakes in January 1813 with orders to prevent a British invasion of New York from across the lake. His fleet of nine ships faced six enemy vessels, and the two fleets engaged each other on September 10, 1813, in the Battle of Lake Erie. Perry's flagship, USS Lawrence, was the first to meet the enemy, as it was the fastest American ship, and it took broadsides from all sides. Four-fifths of the crew was killed, and the Lawrence was soon a burning wreck. Perry and the survivors piled into lifeboats and sailed through the battle toward the Niagara, where he took command and soon defeated the British fleet. His message to President Madison and the Navy Department was curt and memorable: "We have met the enemy and they are ours!" With this victory, America had secured the eastern Great Lakes and ended the threat of a British invasion by water.
Britain Attacks
After Napoleon's defeat in Russia and the coup de grâce at Leipzig in 1813, London began planning a final offensive to bring the Americans to their knees. They hoped to launch a threepronged invasion of the United States: from Lower Canada down the Hudson River Valley to cut New England off from the rest of the country, up the Chesapeake Bay to capture Washington and Baltimore, and at the mouth of the Mississippi River to seize New Orleans, America's largest harbor. The northern attack never materialized, but four thousand British troops landed in Maryland in July 1814 and quickly overran a militia force at Bladensburg before marching toward Washington, DC.
President Madison received word of the British attack just hours before the enemy arrived. Having just sat down to dinner, the president and his wife Dolley quickly evacuated the White House with the Cabinet and members of Congress in tow. (Dolley saved a famous portrait of George Washington, which is the only surviving artifact in the White House.) The British were held up briefly by another small militia band outside the city, but they soon entered the capital on August 24th. Hoping to ransom the city for peace terms, they were unable to find any American official with whom to negotiate. After looting the city, they burned the Capitol, the White House, and every other public building except the Patent Office, which held numerous British copyright documents.
After destroying Washington, the British began preparations for an advance on Baltimore, America's third-largest city, which would be a staging area for a planned move west toward the Ohio Valley. They planned to sail up the Chesapeake and land north of the city while the Royal Navy shelled Fort McHenry, which protected Baltimore Harbor. However, the British underestimated the resilience of the American defenders at Baltimore—while they were unwilling to protect the national capital (whose loss would have crippled any European nation), they were determined to halt the British then and there. Thousands of Maryland militiamen and civilians flocked to Baltimore to prepare its defenses, and Fort McHenry was reinforced with additional cannons and steeled itself for the assault. By the time the British had landed, they were outnumbered three-to-one and were defeated at the Battle of North Point on September 12th. The redcoats then pulled back and waited for the navy to destroy Baltimore's defenses; they would then move in and occupy the burning ruins of the city.
The Royal Navy fired nearly eighteen hundred rounds at Fort McHenry and the floating batteries in Baltimore Harbor for a full day, but they were unable to subdue its defenders. In the evening of September 13th, a young Baltimore lawyer and vocal critic of the war named Francis Scott Key led a delegation under a flag of truce out to the British flagship to negotiate a ceasefire. Watching from the deck of the British warship, he saw the explosions of rocket and cannon fire over Fort McHenry, and as dawn broke he could see the tattered American flag still flying high. Taking up his pen, he wrote a poem that opened with the words, "Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light…" Having failed to destroy Fort McHenry, the British withdrew their forces from the Chesapeake region. Their second offensive had failed.
Undaunted, the British now pressed on with a final attack on the United States far to the south. New Orleans had been a French possession until 1803, and its population was the most diverse of any American city. Its garrison was commanded by General Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, and when he learned that the British were approaching he cobbled together a motley force of nearly six thousand regulars, militiamen, freed slaves, civilian volunteers, and even a band of French pirates to defend New Orleans against eight thousand British regulars (many of them veterans of the war against Napoleon). General Sir Edward Pakenham, nephew of the Duke of Wellington, led the British attack, and he was confident of victory.
Jackson deployed his men just off the beaches along a narrow strip of land between the Mississippi River and a large swamp. From this position he controlled the only approach to New Orleans. Pakenham attacked on January 8, 1815, and the result was a slaughter of epic proportions. Two thousand British soldiers were killed or wounded, while the Americans lost only 71 men. General Pakenham was mortally wounded by cannon-fire and died later that day.
As the smoke cleared over the battlefield, Andrew Jackson stood atop the defenses and surveyed the carnage below. His glorious victory had made him the greatest hero of the War of 1812 (and a future president). He returned the body of General Pakenham to his family after having it pickled in a barrel of rum—one of many examples of Jackson's macabre sense of humor.
The Lasting Peace
The irony of New Orleans was that Jackson had won his victory after the war had formally ended. Peace negotiations between the British and American diplomats in the Netherlands had opened only weeks after the war had begun. A new group of envoys led by John Quincy Adams, son of the former president, arrived in October 1814 with instructions to end the war at any cost, and they sought the best terms they could get from the British. The terms of the Treaty of Ghent, signed on Christmas Day 1814, were status quo antebellum, "all things as they were before the war." No territories were exchanged, which angered the "war hawks" who had hoped to annex part or all of Canada, and the British did not promise to stop aiding the Native Americans or end their pressing of sailors into the Royal Navy.
In the end, the War of 1812 represented the lowest point of Anglo-American relations outside the Revolution itself, but it was also the turning point between the two nations. From 1815 onward, the United States and Great Britain began to regard each other cautiously as potential friends and, perhaps, even allies. British and American interests were aligned for much of the 19th century, as both nations sought to maintain open commercial markets in Central and South America. There would still be conflicts between America and Britain—in the 1840s over Oregon, during the American Civil War, in the 1890s during a border dispute in Maine—but eventually the two countries would form a lasting "special relationship" cemented by blood during two terrible world wars, and one that endures to this day.
So what did America gain in the War of 1812? Not land, or glory, or treasure. Rather, America gained its true freedom from outside influence. For most of the thirty years between the Revolution and this war, America had been pulled in one of two directions: toward revolutionary France or reactionary Britain. The war forever severed all political and cultural ties between the United States and Great Britain, but these would be rebuilt even stronger than they had been during the colonial period. America also gained its freedom from outside interference in Native American affairs. Never again did a European power seek to aid native tribes in their resistance to American expansion, and that expansion soon accelerated across the North American continent. Fifteen thousand Americans perished in the war, in battle, of wounds, or of disease, and historians continue to debate the merits of the conflict. Nevertheless, as the country emerged from its second war of independence, it was now free to chart its own course in the world.
