Embodiment and Multisensorialty during Interactions of Teaching and Care within US Families
Colloquium | October 14 | 4-5:30 p.m. | Berkeley Way West, Room 1102, Berkeley Way West (2121 Berkeley Way, Berkeley, CA 94720)
Marjorie (Candy) Goodwin, UCLA, Anthropology
This presentation investigates multi-sensory embodied practices entailed during moments of enskillment and care. Learning how to look (C. Goodwin, 1994), how to read a text document, how to manipulate a tool, or how to recognize relevant qualia in objects of scrutiny is central to processes of enskillment (Ingold 2000). The first part of this presentation investigates the embodied work entailed in orchestrating teaching in activities such as baking cookies or shopping for fruit. I analyze the moment-to-moment work people deploy in arranging their bodies and the world around them in order to contingently accomplish their collaborative projects. I next turn to investigating how intimate, affiliative, co-operative haptic human sociality is accomplished through the intertwining of interacting bodies. I am concerned with how American children and parents, in a basic social institution, the family, make use of culturally appropriate tactile communication (including the hug, the kiss, and other intertwinings of the body) during moments of affectively rich supportive interchanges (Goffman 1971). By looking closely at embodied forms of experience in the world and the emergence of talk in interaction within them, we can begin to articulate the participation frameworks through which affectively rich intimate social relationships are established, maintained, and negotiated.
About the Speaker. Marjorie Harness Goodwin is a Distinguished Research Professor of Anthropology at UCLA. She received her PhD in Anthropology in 1978 from the University of Pennsylvania, with Erving Goffman as her chair, and an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University in 2014. In 2018 she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society of Conversation Analysis. Making use of videotaped interaction, her work combines close ethnographic study with forms of multimodal Conversation Analysis to study childrens peer groups, workplace interaction, and the family. She is the author of He Said She Said: Talk as Social Organization among Black Children, The Hidden Life of Girls, and Embodied Family Choreography: Practices of Control, Care, and Mundane Creativity (with co-author Asta Cekaite). Her current interests include examination of the lived and embodied practices through which people establish, maintain, and negotiate intimate social relationships throughout the life span.

When you're dealing with antiques and other old castoffs, it's best to leave some breathing room. Garage Sale Mystery, Hallmark's series about a consignment shop owner who rummages at garage sales, doesn't quite let in enough air, and though some light and levity break through, the mystery suffocates under the dust and dark shadows. There are hints of a Victorian English country manor whodunit in this – plenty of stashed valuables, dark cellars, mystery boxes, shady strangers, and fancy estates. But the movie is a by-the-book mystery that never finds a distinct voice.
The case, a woman found dead at the foot of her grand staircase, is easy to solve and offers few red herrings to occupy the hour and a half run time. Her friend, Jennifer (an ageless Lori Loughlin), discovers her, and while the police are convinced it was an accident, Jennifer has her suspicions. In particular, she suggests that the death may have something to do with a string of robberies at homes that have recently hosted garage sales. Then again, it might be related to a secret that the deceased was about to share with Jennifer just before her death. Once these potential leads are introduced, they seem to run on autopilot with nothing to shake them from their monotony.
Loughlin is a calming and reassuring presence in this guessing game, though I may be channeling that from all the episodes of Full House I watched as a kid. She isn't given much to do as Jennifer, however. Aside from a knack for spotting treasure amidst the trash and keen observation skills that she might as well offer to the police department, she's a bore. She has a blissful home life and an unusually large house that she shares with her supportive husband, son, and daughter. At work, she dishes out relationship advice to her partner, Dani (Sarah Strange), who has a talent for attracting the wrong kind of men. Without a more dynamic protagonist, the movie rests entirely on plot, which is lacking in this installment.
The one bright spot is the first spark of romance between her college graduate daughter (Sara Canning) and the young police detective investigating the case (Andrew Dunbar). Their flirtations provide a diversion and deepen the dynamic between the two characters and Jennifer. Unfortunately, the internet tells me that their appearance is a one-off, and they won't return for subsequent episodes. There goes the best thing on offer.

TWO women who dedicate their time to helping others lose weight were congratulated on their work by singer and TV presenter Peter Andre.
The Australian star was guest of honour at the recent annual Slimming World Awards.
Consultants Lis Telcs and Mandy Crew, who are both from Brighton were delighted to get a chance to meet him.
Ms Telcs, who runs a group at Our Lady Of Lourdes Primary School in Brighton every Wednesday, said Peter's presence at the awards was extra special.
In 2017 the singer, whose biggest hit was Mysterious Girl, supported the organisation's most successful fundraising event ever – the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw.
The event, which this year raised £3.3m, encourages group members to donate the clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that are now too big for them to Cancer Research UK.
Ms Telcs said: "I couldn't be prouder of my members.
"Throughout 2017 they lost fantastic amounts of weight, with many of them hitting their target weights, improving their health and boosting their confidence.
"It's so rewarding to see people being able to do things they didn't think were possible before losing weight.
"That can be having more energy, feeling happier, wearing smaller clothes, taking up new hobbies, reducing medication or doing more with their family and friends.
"Cuddling up to Peter was a real treat.
"He was bowled over by the difference Slimming World makes to people's lives and it reminded me what an important and privileged role I have as a consultant."
Ms Crew runs a group at the Fountain Centre in Brighton every Thursday.
She said: "Lots of people will be making resolutions to lose weight and improve their health this New Year.
"I truly believe joining a group is the best way for people to lose weight, learn new habits and improve their lifestyle.
Thanks to our eating plan they will see big results on the scales without ever having to feel hungry or deprived, and they'll discover a whole world of support and advice that's sure to help them achieve their targets."

Do you want to improve your violin playing technique? This violin lesson teaches you a great exercise to improve your tenths technique. This exercise is based on the Yost system. This exercise is designed to increase your familiarity and comfort in all positions, develop confidence and accuracy in all positions, develop an understanding of what to listen for while shifting, and improve your ear training and overall intonation. When practicing this tenths exercise you should relax your fingers, hand and wrist; move arm first from the biceps to the new position dragging the hand and the finger, gliding on top of the string, never pushing forward with the fingers; tune with the biceps before putting finger down; get the 1st finger in tune so the 3rd finger will tune itself; always lift and drop 1st and 3rd fingers at the same time; know what position you're in at all times and say it out loud before you go; press on lower string more with the bow and keep bow close to the bridge. These steps will make this violin exercise easier and more effective. With this how to video you will be able to play these advanced tenths exercise on the violin.

Qantas Airways and the University of Sydney are partnering up for an in-depth study on jet lag that may pave the way for changes in airline operations for future long haul flights.
Jet Lag
Whether you are a traveller racking up frequent flyer miles or someone heading to a new far destination for the first time you are likely to experience some form of jet lag which can significantly impact sleep pattern and alertness. Many studies isolating the effects of jet lag have shown that it is the result of an imbalance of a person's natural "biological clock" travelling through different time zones. Typically, the impact is more severe when travelling eastward over many time zones than westward.
From the Sleep Foundation, "Our bodies work on a 24-hour cycle called "circadian rhythms." These rhythms are measured by the distinct rise and fall of body temperature, plasma levels of certain hormones and other biological conditions. All of these are influenced by our exposure to sunlight and help determine when we sleep and when we wake.
When traveling to a new time zone, our circadian rhythms are slow to adjust and remain on their original biological schedule for several days. This results in our bodies telling us it is time to sleep, when it's actually the middle of the afternoon, or it makes us want to stay awake when it is late at night. This experience is known as jet lag."
As Qantas Airways prepares for its longest flight from Perth Airport (PER) to London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) on board the Boeing 787-9 in March 2018 (Related News on the world's longest non-stop flights 2017 Edition), the airline is researching ways to minimize the effects of jet lag on the long ~17 hour (7 time zones) flight for pilots, crews and passengers.
Qantas Airways
Qantas Airways is based in Sydney, Australia. Given its geographic location, most of its longer haul flights are least 6 hours long going westward to Asia. Eastward operations to continental North America are at least 11 hours long while zipping through the international date line over 10 or more time zones in the process. This makes the science of jet lag the more important for the Aussie airline.
Today, airlines with newer aircrafts manage the effects of jet lag through the use of cabin lights (turning them from light to dark or blue to red/pink) to promote sleep and wake time. Qantas Airways wants to go one step further by studying how jet lag can be reduced if the right stimulant is introduced throughout the travel experience from origin to destination.
The airline is working with its long term partner – University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre on a multi-month study to evaluate and quantify the specific triggers contributing to the biological clock imbalances and how they can be managed through different techniques.
The focus of the study will be on the following facets on travelling:
- Pre-flight preparation (origin airport) – how to reduce travel anxiety through airport design
- Lounge environment pre-boarding (origin airport) – how lighting and lounge food offers can change moods
- Exercise and movement while on board (on board) – how certain types of exercising / stretching can reduce body fatigue
- Menu design and service timing (on board) – how use of ingredients can better suit long distance travel. Famous Australian chef, Neil Perry, will be in charge of the new menu. Timing would be include to help the body adjust to destination time.
- Cabin environment including lighting and temperature (on board) – how change of environmental triggers can simulate body's reaction to time zones
- Post-flight preparation (on board)
Other items that could be in consideration include:
- Special in flight entertainment programming including videos and audios to stimulate sleep or wake (on board)
- Amenities at the lounge and on board that can refresh the mind or face (e.g. mist inside amenity kits or in the washroom)
- In flight announcement – how timing can lower sleep disruption.
Why The Boeing 787?
Qantas chose the twin engined Boeing 787 for this long distance thin route requiring lower capacity. This aircraft range which also includes the -8 and -10 variants is latest designed by the Boeing Company. The manufacturer put extra efforts in creating an environment more suited for long distance travelling. New elements include:
- Versatile LED lights that can be programmed to show different colors and intensity depending on timing.
- Cabin air pressure is set to 6,000 feet (1,800 metres) altitude which is up to 2,000 feet lower than other plane types. In addition, the cabin is programmable allowing up to 15% humidity depending on the number of passengers on board. This bests the 4% mark found in older designs. In combination, both contribute to better oxygen absorption and moisture retention which can reduce fatigue and dryness.
- The cabin air-conditioning system filters out ozone from outside air it the aircraft intakes and uses standard HEPA and gaseous filtration systems to filter out airborne particles, odors, irritants, and gaseous contaminants. Temperature can be adjusted by zones to provide a more comfortable environment depending on passenger types.
Qantas Airways' CEO, Alan Joyce commented on the new research partnership, "While the Dreamliner aircraft itself is already a step change for passengers with its larger windows, increased cabin humidity and lower cabin altitude, the findings that will come from Charles Perkins Centre researchers will allow Qantas to design and develop a range of new innovations and strategies to complement the Dreamliner experience."

To say Kaia Gerber, age 16, is genetically blessed is an understatement. Her flowing brown locks, high cheekbones, and deep brown eyes mean one thing: it's all in the genes. Cindy and Kaia Crawford are bound to turn heads at any party they face. At the Balmain x HM party, Cindy and Kaia were extra fierce; Kaia in a patterned bodycon dress and Cindy in a sharp blazer. From uncanny Instagram selfies to red carpet photos, the mother-daughter duo can be seen rocking their inherent supermodel struts anywhere.
Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz

There's no denying that actresses Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz could pass as sisters with ease. The support between mother Lisa Bonet and the Big Little Lies star is unquestionable – even their outfits out complementary! The pair is known for donning lighthearted bohemian style by day, and fitting glam looks by night. Who else is taking bets that they share closets?
Yolanda, Gigi and Bella Hadid

What's the secret to raising a family of supermodels? Just ask Yolanda Hadid. Yolanda recently debuted her Lifetime show, Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid, where she shares her trade secrets on beauty-filled motherhood and gives tips to young aspiring models. From the crib to the catwalk, Gigi and Bella were raised to be two emerging fashion icons of the decade.

Harper, the youngest child from Victoria and David Beckham, has her casual weekend style down pat. Often seen walking in stylish flats or laidback athleisure wear, Harper can be found bustling through the streets of London with her fashion designer mom. Victoria Beckham, a mother of four, never takes a day off from her chic wardrobe. We bet Harper has the best time playing dress-up in their Oxfordshire home.
Kim Kardashian and North West

The Pink Fairies were an English rock band active in the London (Ladbroke Grove) underground and psychedelic scene of the early 1970s. They promoted free music, drug taking and anarchy and often performed impromptu gigs and other agitprop stunts, such as playing for free outside the gates at the Bath and Isle of Wight pop festivals in 1970, as well as appearing at Phun City, the second Glastonbury and many other free festivals including Windsor and Trentishoe. The group was formed when the three musicians from The Deviants (Paul Rudolph, born Vancouver, Canada, guitar and vocals; Duncan Sanderson, born 31 December 1948, Carlisle, Cumbria, bass; Russell Hunter, born Barry Russell Hunter, 26 April 1946, Woking, Surrey, drums), having sacked their singer and leader Mick Farren, returned from a disastrous tour of the West Coast of the United States and hooked up with Twink, former drummer of The Pretty Things. Prior to the tour these musicians had collaborated on Twink's Think Pink solo album and while on tour Twink, Farren and Steve Peregrin Took had used the name Pink Fairies Motorcycle Club and All-Star Rock and Roll Band, taken from a story written by Jamie Mandelkau, for activities including one shambolic gig in Manchester and the recording of Farren's solo album, Mona – The Carnivorous Circus.
Their music was upbeat good-time rock and roll, often jamming on The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows", The Ventures' "Walk Don't Run", "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and other standards. Their sets climaxed with the lengthy "Uncle Harry's Last Freakout", essentially an amalgam of old Deviants riffs that included extended guitar and double drum solos. They were closely associated with the UK underground, being based in the Ladbroke Grove scene and playing festivals, benefits and free concerts. The band had strong connections with Farren's home town Worthing, playing gigs for the Worthing Workshop. These included an appearance on a float in the Worthing Rotary Club Carnival Procession and a free open-air concert in Beach House Park. Playing for in June 1970 free outside the Bath Festival, they encountered another Ladbroke Grove based band Hawkwind, who shared similar interests in music and recreational activities, a friendship developed which would lead to the two bands becoming running partners and performing as Pinkwind. Sensationalist coverage in the (Mick Farren edited) International Times solidified their rebel reputation.

Faithful readers,
Kindly have a little look-see at my entry into the inaugural festival of shit that is Shitfest 2013. Hosted by the man himself Mr E from Isaacs Picture Conclusions, Shitfest is a celebration (if that's the right word) of the worst movies to grace this world. My choice, oddly enough, is Sex And The City. Read, enjoy, tell your friends…
Entry by: 5 WORD MOVIE REVIEWS
When people ask me what type of films I like to watch, my usual response is "I'll watch anything". It's a small thing to be boastful of, but I pride myself on being able to sit through and find something to appreciate in just about every film I can get my grubby little hands on. Well, dear readers, today is the day that hubris finally came back to bite me in the ass. Charlie from the office (she of the Kids Film Friday DVD stash in my desk drawer) asked me that question a couple of weeks ago, and got that answer. So she decided to screw with me.
Sex And The City
Shoot me. In the head.
Four entirely pointless human beings swan about doing nothing for TWO AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS! Thoughts of suicide ensue.
Before we get started here, I…

text: Videogames Have a Personality Problem By Dante Douglas | August 18, 2017 | 2:00pm Games Features YouTube Share Tweet Submit Pin Earlier this week, Kotaku UK ran an interview by Laura Kate Dale about internet harassment. The interview was of prominent YouTube content creator John "TotalBiscuit" Bain, and specifically about the ways that Bain has grappled with those who have gone out of their way to harass him personally or on his various channels or public personas. The piece was the third in a loose series by Dale, and it's the one that's garnered the most controversy. Primarily, many readers found the choice of Bain as the mouthpiece for an interview about 'dealing with the hate' somewhat ill-suited—mostly due to the plethora of accusations that TotalBiscuit is behind a not-insignificant chunk of internet harassment himself. It's times like these when I think it necessary to reflect on the value we give to 'established voices'. Games are a young medium, and the culture surrounding them younger still. Games media (that is, journalism, essays, peripheral media that surrounds the games themselves) was borne out of the unholy union of enthusiast press and traditional journalism. It's always walked a fine line, somewhere between advertisement, criticism, and social commentary. Couple that with the fact that games-as-culture has often felt the need for legitimacy via influential voices, and what we end up with is a culture that will excuse the sins of the powerful just to keep them in a position of 'respect'. This isn't new, or that uncommon. We see it with John Bain being interviewed about 'dealing with harassment', we see it with Hideo Kojima's comments about female characters being swept under the rug, and we see it with politically-centrist games like Bioshock: Infinite being considered groundbreaking political works. It's a vicious thing to canonize people. It doesn't give them fair space to be criticized, and it doesn't give an audience the space to make their own judgments. Nowadays, when YouTube can produce gaming figureheads seemingly once a day, the more traditional press finds itself dealing with both the relative youth of gaming as a culture and the influx of new voices often critical of established games media. Many YouTube content creators have expressed loud distaste for traditional games press, for legitimate and not-so-legitimate reasons. Why did Bain get chosen for an article about harassment, when his own encouraging of it is so public, so easily found? Because of personality. In the case of TotalBiscuit, that personality has cultivated a largely uncritical fanbase that sees any accusations against Bain as facetious. It's a path of fandom that leads to abuses on the part of the subject being downplayed or ignored. The recent public outing of Nick Robinson as a games figure who used his fame and influence for personal gain at the expense of his fans was also built on an uncritical fandom that brushed off criticism when it arose. It's not a good thing for the culture, and I know when I say 'culture' here that games don't have a universal culture, they have many, and they're often in conflict. The explosion of new media outlets, like YouTube, means that there are going to be even more 'game cultures' in the future. But there's a responsibility of those who have voices in these spaces to be critical of those we give space to. That can apply to John Bain as much as it can apply to PewDiePie, another YouTube celebrity who recently came under fire for his public enthusiasm for anti-Semitic jokes. These are symptoms of a greater problem, but just because they're in games doesn't mean they get a pass. Any popular figure in a young medium will get attention, but just because they're popular doesn't mean they necessarily need a space at the table in every discussion. Especially when, like Bain, they have repeatedly shown that they don't want to be a part of a conscientious discussion. Dante Douglas is a writer, poet and game developer.

Nesma Airlines plans to add a pair of Airbus A330s to its registry by next summer, chief executive Ashraf Lamloum has confirmed.
The Egyptian carrier will place the widebodies with its Saudi sister airline for use on Hajj and Umrah flights, which are typically operated on a charter basis.
"We are seriously considering right now to add at least two Airbus 330s to our Egyptian A.O.C. [Air Operator's Certificate]," Lamloum told me during an interview in Cairo. "They will come here under our A.O.C. with Egyptian crew, Egyptian maintenance, and then [we will] wet-lease them to our sister company."
Registering the aircraft in Egypt brings cost advantages over placing them directly on Nesma's Saudi A.O.C., he noted.
The airframes will have a maximum age of 13 years and will be used for year-round flights to the Far East and West Africa, including Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Senegal. Approximately 8.3 million foreign pilgrims visited the kingdom for the Hajj and Umrah in 2017 – most of them coming from non-Arab Asian or African countries.
Lamloum is hopeful that the aircraft will arrive "between June and September" next year, though he does not rule out a delay.
The Egyptian carrier currently has three narrowbodies on its registry – two A320s and one A319 – which it deploys on a mixture of charter flights to Europe and scheduled flights to Saudi Arabia. The charter network was grounded in 2016 due to Egypt's geopolitical troubles but resumed last year and now accounts for more than half of all flights.
Both of the A320s will be replaced with younger models when their leases expire in 2019.
Asked about network development plans from Cairo, Lamloum said strong competition between Egyptian carriers is impacting profitability and necessitates a cautious approach to expansion.
"We are in a very unstable period so we prefer to keep the well-known markets with the well-known revenue, before investing and injecting more for new markets," he said, referring to Nesma's half-a-dozen existing Saudi links. Longer-term, the airline is interested in flying to Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Iraq.
Nesma has also formally asked Egypt's Civil Aviation Authority for access to Dammam and Medina, but without apparent success.

Ooh!Media has reported an 18% lift in revenue for the first half of the year and says half of its revenue now comes from digital.
The results, revealed today, also show that the failed merger between Ooh! And APN Outdoor cost Ooh $2 million in costs.
Despite the fact the business is in good shape, reporting revenue of $173 million for the six months to 30 June; of that, $90.2m was from digital - a 38% increase over the previous year.
Net profit after tax for the period increased 18% to $7.1m. Earnings per share also increased 32%.
Its retail business delivered the strongest growth growing 23.2%.
Ooh!Media says it now has more than 8000 digital screens and is piloting data-driven campaigns due to its partnership with Quantium.
It says it has "gained valuable CBD and millennial audiences" thanks to its acquisitions of ECN and Junkee Media, although revenue growth from ECN is slower than expected. It has also expanded its capabilities over the period thanks to acquisitions in the video and content space.
Ooh! is poised to announce a further content partnership later this week.
The results highlight that outdoor media is outperforming all other media channels, citing the 8.5% lift according to SMI data in June, compared with a 1.6% fall across total industry spend.
Ooh!Media CEO Brendon Cook said: "Ooh!'s strong performance reflects both the sector's strength and further market share gains by Ooh! in its key product categories. We offer advertisers a portfolio of products whose complementarity and diversity enables us to deliver strong group revenue and profit growth.
"We are executing our end-to-end digital strategy, investing to maintain our market leadership position, and continuing to deliver innovative and effective solutions for advertisers. We will also continue to explore opportunities to further strengthen and develop our new media strategy and enhance shareholder value through organic growth and acquisitions."

Rooibos Lemon Iced Tea with mint
Rooibos tea is an exceptionally nice beverage: Smooth, soft and refreshing. I associate the smell with our kids when they were babies. Their bottles always had rooibos tea in them. But Rooibos, for me, really features in an iced tea. This weekend I found our old Brita water-filter jug in the back of a cupboard. Since moving to the farm three years ago, we did not need to use it anymore. The farm water is so good, filtration actually makes it taste bad. An absolute certification of this theory was when Ben, who believed that if it was not black and had bubbles, it was not drinkable, berated Heidi when she put the water in the Brita. "It takes all the taste out", he complained in his ten-year old style. I then noticed that he would walk past the fridge to the tap, get a glass of water and drink it. Fascinating!
The Brita Jug is perfect for the job of making Iced tea. I removed the filter, and put the tea bags, honey, sugar, and an entire lemon cut in slices into the inner filter reservoir. I added two sprigs of fresh mint. I then poured boiling water into the reservoir and it filled the jug slowly through the small filtering hole, giving the tea enough time to steep. The boiling water took the taste of the lemon and mint into the jug, and when you pour, it stays in the reservoir. The jug hold about 2,5l, so I used six tea bags.
I added a tablespoon of honey and six teaspoons of sugar. I let it cool on the tabletop, and lifted the reservoir a few times to let all the steeped tea through, and then reinserted it again to flood from the bottom up. I then chilled it in the fridge.
The entire jug was quaffed in about an hour. Real money saver. And healthy, too.

I think we'll start with the trends I don't like.
Can someone explain to me why it's "chic" or "trendy" to wear a see through dress? I just don't understand.
To me, the idea of anything sheer, with the intent of flashing your undies is absolutely ridiculous. I feel sorry for that model in the picture above, you can clearly see her chest and that, to me at least, is the furthest thing from sexy. It leaves nothing to the imagination...
I really don't understand the appeal of cat-suits or play-suits. You need to be a certain kind of person to pull them off and I'm just not. I have no clue why people like them. Onesies are okay when they are being worn to bed but nothing more is acceptable.
I could go on and on about trends I don't like, but I think it would be best to move on to trends I'm really digging! On we go!
Wednesday Addams Esque:
I love all things black and gothic, even though I have put those days behind me myself. I still have a penchant for monochrome, despite having my own personal style evolve. One particular designer that stands out is Betsey Johnson. She's the wild-card of the fashion world and she makes the catwalk fun, at least in my estimation. Check out my top picks from her new line!
I would easily wear both of these in a heartbeat!! The pomp and frill is girly enough to make these fabulously gothic dresses wearable and very on trend for the coming season. I will definitely be taking some inspiration from these and pulling a full on Carrie Bradshaw at some point.
From full on biker, to chic accents, I adore leather and the fact that it's going to be in for another season has me all a-quiver. Not that I am one to sheepishly follow the crowd, but when it's in style, I feel like I blend a bit easier.
Carmen Marc Valvo, (a name I have never heard of, if I'm honest), seems to hit the nail on the head for the woman who doesn't want to be totally leather-clad. A small accent is enough to keep the outfit trendy without shortening the lifespan of the piece.
|Carmen Marc Valvo @MBFW2014
Any of you who follow me on the Twitter will know how much I adore the Great Gatsby, and I'm still obsessed with it. It's a sickness! With that in mind, any excuse to keep the 20's alive is alright by me. Check out this offering from Diane Von Furstenberg...
|Diane Von Furstenberg @ MBFW 2014
Doesn't it look amazing? It totally captures the opulence of the filmic era as well as the style of the time itself. Well done, DVF!!
Well, there you have it, some of my favorite trends for the coming season and some cringe-inducing design choices. What do you think of the upcoming trends? Do you wait with bated breath for Penneys and TopShop to unveil their new lines? Drop me a line! If you like this kind of topic, I will try to publish more.

Carrasco and Biddle lead the way for women in WorldSBK
Here come the girls
2017 will see the welcomed return of fast girls in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, as Ana Carrasco and Avalon Biddle debut in the new WorldSSP300 series.
20-year-old Ana Carrasco from Murcia will enter the WorldSBK paddock this season, competing in the inaugural FIM World Supersport 300 World Championship on a Kawasaki Ninja 300 - with ETG Racing team.
Avalon Biddle, 24, won the FIM European Women's Cup in 2015 and 2016 and will take on this season with Sourz Foods-Benjan Racing. Biddle is well-known in the WorldSBK paddock with fans and teams alike. She was the first winner in the Women's Cup, and has never been off the podium over the past two seasons.
Discussing the entry of the two riders in the new Championship, WorldSBK Sports Director Gregorio Lavilla says: "We would like things to go well, we have seen women in other sports doing very well; I think they just need the right opportunity. WorldSSP300 is the right platform, because all the bikes will be at a good level. From the point of view of the riders - both men and women - if they do well, they will have options to reach other categories and progress. Of course two [female riders] are not enough, but it's a starting point. "
The arrival of Carrasco and Biddle in this category reminds us that WorldSBK has been littered with female riders in the past, which can be easy to forget. Among the illustrious former riders, many will remember the American Melissa Paris – who was the first female rider to participate in the Supersport World Championship. She rode as a Wild Card in the seventh Round of the 2009 season, at Miller Motorsports Park (USA).
Italian Paola Cazzola competed in 2010, in five rounds of World Supersport securing a total of 3 points, making her the only rider to have scored points in the series.
Before this however, German Katja Poensgen had already competed in a wild card race. At the Nurburgring in 1998 – the year before the World Supersport Series became the current Supersport World Championship. Despite being unable to score a point, the German finished that race inside the top 20. Other riders who have entered as a Wild Card in at least one WorldSSP round are; the Canadian Marie-Josée Boucher, Brit Jenny Tinmouth and Hungarian Nikolett Kovacs.
Other well-known names, such as Maria Costello, Lucy Glöckner or Poensgen have previously competed in the Superstock 1000 category. We also had female appearances in the now defunct Superstock 600 European Championship such as Rebecca Bianchi, Marketa Janakova, Ricarda Neubauer and Alessia Polita.
The outstanding British rider Maria Costello - a member of the FIM Women's Motorcycle Commission - has been a coach and mentor in the Women's European Cup. The competition ran from 2015 to 2016 and was able to bring together a good group of young women in to produce some of the brightest stars of this generation.
As the EJC class comes to an end in the WorldSBK paddock, there is no longer an exclusive competition for women, although some may find themselves a ride in the World Championship series similar to Carrasco and Biddle. This is clear from the explanations of Gregorio Lavilla on the list of entries of 2017: "This year especially in WorldSSP300 we have had a lot of requests that arrived on time, but many others that arrived outside the period. Among these requests are some girls who wanted to join the Championship"
"We wanted to delay the registration list as much as possible so that the teams can secure all the resources," reveals the sports manager of WorldSBK. "But by November at the latest we needed to define which teams and riders we will have next season. We cannot accommodate them all - especially in a new category - and maybe we've left real talents out, but this is the procedure. I'm sure next year will be easier and everyone will have the opportunity to say whether they want to be there or not. "
Women are starting to become noticed in motorcycle racing, and are beginning to make an impact in the traditionally male territory of speed. There are still not many in comparison to other sports, but they have come to stay. The young and experienced Avalon Biddle and Ana Carrasco lead the way – along with other women competing in national series – for a generation that aspires to improve on the success of their predecessors.

Under Construction – Photo of the Day Mar 2, 2015
Washington, D.C. has always been one of my favorite cities. There's something great about seeing so many iconic landmarks on a short walk around town. There's so much history concentrated in a few square miles, and it feels like you're a part of it while you're there. Like this country and our constitution, the building need constant maintenance and work to keep them up to date and functioning properly. I really like this metaphor of imagery for the U.S. and I think the Capitol Building looks the best while under construction.
Columns in Light – Photo of the Day Feb 27, 2015
Going back to last month in D.C., I got this shot at the Jefferson Memorial, which is photogenic in many ways. I love the warmth of this shot as the sun was going down, and the temperature was dropping with it. It's funny how photos can evoke a warm feeling even when the memory associated with that place is one of bitter cold. I just really enjoyed the light here and the way the columns open up to the sky as it curves.
Monumental – Photo of the Day Feb 17, 2015
For the last D.C. photo for a while, I picked this one of the Washington Monument. I tried several ways of shooting the monument in an interesting and unusual way. This is my favorite of those attempts, with the abstract lines and colors creating more than just a straightforward image of a landmark and more of a thoughtful close up on it that almost has some ground-reversal qualities. I also like that it reminds me a bit of a flag and that the tone of the bricks changes so dramatically from the late day sunlight to the shadows.
Climate Change – Photo of the Day Feb 16, 2015
While visiting the Botanic Garden in D.C. there were plenty of beautiful flowers, but some of the coolest plants weren't flowering at all. It was great to be in a humid, warm environment while it was so cold outside. As we walked through a very warm rainforest environment in winter coats, it was hard to imagine actually being in that climate in the summer. I'll try to remember how cold it has been when I'm in the desert this summer.
To the Point – Photo of the Day Feb 15, 2015
Yes, another photo from Washington, D.C. The Washington Monument isn't the easiest thing to photograph in an interesting way, but the curves along the tidal basin as we returned to our car at sunset just caught my eye leading up to the stone obelisk bathed in golden light. The water is that choppy because it was very windy and blowing icy cold air across the water at my fingers while I took this shot.
In Battle – Photo of the Day Feb 14, 2015
Another memorial in the D.C. area that doesn't get a lot of attention is the Iwo Jima Marine Corps Veterans Memorial. It's outside the city next to Arlington National Cemetery, and it's a great monument with a great view of the city from a high point. We stopped by at night and I enjoyed getting some more interesting shots that didn't include the entire sculpture. I think cropping it in like this gives it a more dynamic feeling and somehow makes it feel more real.
Orchidaceae – Photo of the Day Feb 12, 2015
The United State Botanic Garden has a ton of amazing plants and flower, many of which are orchids of many varieties. They are all intriguingly unique and beautiful. It seems like they have a personality. Some seems welcoming and friendly, while others seem fierce and intimidating. Their exotic shapes, colors, and spotting make it easy to spend a long time getting lost in a single flower. This one caught my eye as it seemed to be stretching out to get a look beyond the bushes it hides in.
Jefferson – Photo of the Day Feb 11, 2015
When we were in D.C. we spent a good amount of time at the Jefferson Memorial exploring the angles and seeing how the light changed as the sun went down. I really love this image of TJ looking out hopefully over the country he helped build while the sun sets peacefully over the nation's capital. Even though it was pretty bitter cold, there were still busloads of people coming out to visit these landmarks, and the monument lit up beautifully inside with the late-day sunlight.
The Reverent Cold – Photo of the Day Feb 8, 2015
I think the Jefferson Memorial is one of the more overlooked of the major monuments in Washington, D.C. It sits a little farther away from the Mall, but the area around the tidal basin is gorgeous (even when there are no cherry blossoms in bloom.) It was freezing with the wind coming across the water, but the sunset was great and I caught this image as we hurried back to the car for warmth. The sky lit up perfectly after the sun dropped below the horizon and let these trees makes some really amazing dancing silhouettes.
The Palm of Winter – Photo of the Day Feb 7, 2015
This is a False Sago tree from the United States Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C. I've always wanted to check out the garden, but somehow I never made it into the amazing (and free!) space just next to the Capitol Building. The place is filled with orchids, cacti, endangered plants, interesting information and exhibits, and the jungle exhibit where you can climb up to a walkway around the canopy. It was a really great respite from the cold and a lot of fun. I'd highly recommend it.

Lately I've been busy exploring the world of solid foods. With practice, my understanding of the spoon has greatly improved. The timing of opening and closing my mouth is almost perfect. But most importantly, I have been discovering new flavours. My understanding of my preferences is expanding and I am learning what tastes good, and what doesn't.
Browse other gifts from Zazzle.
Mommy read that babies need to be exposed to new flavours up to 10 times before they will accept a new food. That's not true for me. I usually know what I like the first time I try it. Mommy keeps giving me the things I didn't like on the first try. She hopes I will learn to like them. But that hasn't happened yet.
Mommy says I'm not a very picky baby. It's true that I like many different flavours. There have only been a couple of things that I did not like. But that doesn't mean I don't have preferences. I may like most things but there are a few that I love to eat.
One of my very favourite things to eat is oatmeal. This was my first solid food and it has been a favourite ever since. You can watch me eat oatmeal for the first time here. I like oatmeal by itself or with fruit. Bananas, prunes, pears or apples work very well with oatmeal. So delicious!
Mommy likes to give me oatmeal, along with my bottle of milk, for my last meal of the day. It keeps me full all night and it doesn't make me as hyper as fruit puree. Oatmeal is easy for me to digest, and it seems to soak up any excess liquids in my tummy. That's especially helpful when I'm lying down.
My preferred brand of oatmeal is the one made by Nestle Gerber. Mommy likes it because it is organic and because it has no added sugar, salt, preservatives, or artificial colours. I like it because it tastes great. I always eat my oatmeal down to the last spoonful. It makes both mommy and me happy.
