New York Times
bestselling Raven's Shadow Trilogy was a perfect read for "fans of broadscale epic fantasy along the lines of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels."* Now, Anthony Ryan begins a new saga, The Draconis Memoria...
Throughout the vast lands controlled by the Ironship Trading Syndicate, nothing is more prized than the blood of drakes. Harvested from captive or hunted Reds, Greens, Blues and Blacks, it can be distilled into elixirs that bestow fearsome powers on the rare men and women known as the Blood-blessed.
But not many know the truth: that the lines of drakes are weakening. If they fail, war with the neighbouring Corvantine Empire will follow swiftly. The Syndicate's last hope resides in whispers of the existence of another breed of drake, far more powerful than the rest, and the few who have been chosen by fate to seek it.
Claydon Torcreek is a petty thief and an unregistered Blood-blessed who finds himself pressed into service by the Protectorate and sent to wild, uncharted lands in search of a creature he believes is little more than legend. Lizanne Lethridge is a formidable spy and assassin facing gravest danger on an espionage mission deep into the heart of enemy territory. And Corrick Hilemore is the second lieutenant of an Ironship cruiser whose pursuit of ruthless brigands leads him to a far greater threat at the edge of the world.
As lives and empires clash and intertwine, as the unknown and the known collide, all three must fight to turn the tide of a coming war, or drown in its wake.

Three out of every four of your visitors who put an item in their cart end up not completing a purchase. Shopping cart abandonment rates hit 75% in 2011, up 5.3% from 2010, according to a study from SeeWhy. That is a staggering amount of revenue lost right at the last mile of the transaction. Those lost visitors represent a massive opportunity for ecommerce companies to grow their revenues without having to grow inbound traffic. Even a slight improvement in cart abandonment can push revenues significantly higher. We've analyzed five of the Internet's best ecommerce experiences to see how they keep abandonment down by creating a positive shopping experience while eliminating the friction in online buying. If you're looking to increase your revenue, start with a critical review and optimization of your checkout process. And use these ecommerce leaders as inspiration to make your checkout funnel work harder for your business.
Why is reducing cart abandonment so important? You'll see out-sized revenue gains for every percentage point of conversion you improve. A 10% improvement in shopping cart abandonment can increase your revenue 30%.
This UK furniture seller puts the products and savings front and center in a clean, visually stunning interface.
What works:
- The products are featured in a visually overpowering way. The item is so big, it feels like you can touch it. Compared to other furniture sellers the products feel more alive and vibrant. You really get a better sense for what you're buying.
- The bright yellow price tag shows how much you're saving and stands out even on the backdrop of a massive product shot.
- Recommendations from the Made.com staff reinforce the appeal of the product and help give an added opinion for shoppers on the fence.
- Product specifics, including delivery info and dimensions are all presented in a friendly and intuitive format, below the fold.
- The clean checkout, including a guest option, makes completing the transaction painless.
The grandfather of ecommerce. Amazon is famous for their A/B testing of the shopping cart to find the best converting formula. Their industry-leading abandonment rate is said to be around 65%. Even with their notoriously-cluttered website, Amazon does the important things right, over and over.
What works:
- What matters most gets top billing: the price, your savings, customer ratings, it's availability, and it's price in multiple formats give the shopper the most important information right off the bat.
- The "Buy" buttons are set to the right on a different color background than anything else on the page. They're also the biggest elements on the page (besides the book cover itself.)
- Free shipping tied with purchase urgency creates a compelling reason to buy now. Knowing that the book will be at your doorstep by Thursday solves for the instant gratification problem that plagues online shopping.
- Need more? Below the fold is a wealth of information about the book. Detailed description, videos, reviews, rankings and recommendations all there for a shopper who needs more information before pulling the trigger.
While Groupon's stock might leave something to be desired, their checkout is a study in simplicity, social proof and instant gratification.
What works:
- A huge discount. Everyone (still) loves a deal, and Groupon hammers home just how much you'll save buy buying now. Most discounts are north of 50%, creating a compelling reason to buy.
- Urgency. The clock is literally ticking on every Groupon deal. The limited time frame creates a buy it or lose it impulse that makes buying it now safer than waiting and possibly missing out.
- Social proof. It's in their name – Groupon shows you how many people are buying the deal, validating your buying instinct and giving you the confidence that others think it's a deal too.
- For all of the bells and whistles on the product page, the checkout page is a single, clean form, making it easy to get through and complete your transaction.
The original crowd sourced design company, Threadless infuses it's brand and whimsy into a clear and visual checkout experience.
What works:
- A clean, visual search page makes it easy to see designs and quickly browse through the hundreds of shirt designs. The filters are intuitive (Size, Style, Price) and fun (Sort by: Awesomeness), make narrowing down available choices a breeze.
- The product pages are an education in less is more, with big images, easy sizing options and a giant "Add to Cart" button that dominates the page.
- Social proof in the form of Facebook likes, Tweets and Google +1's show an item's popularity, reinforcing your purchase decision.
- Tertiary page elements, like recommendations and a way to get quickly back to previously viewed products keep the buyer in the funnel, even if they decide the current shirt isn't for them.
The new design-centric daily deal site brings smart design to the checkout process.
What works:
- Fab sells design, and the big bold images and limited daily offering make browsing new products fun and easy.
- Fab's "feed" is a Pinterest-like feed of all the products being bought and favorited on the site at any time. It creates a fun, crowdsourced way to browse what's on sale while creating an urge to buy before an item disappears.
- Fab's checkout pages are an exercise in design. The image zoom rollover functionality lets buyers get an upclose look at items, while the bright red "Add to Cart" button stands out from the other black, grey and white of the page.
- Adding an item to your cart puts the item on hold for 12 minutes, compelling you to complete your purchase before the deal is gone.
- The checkout page is clean and clear, with the countdown clock, your savings and the Checkout button all prominent in bright red.
- As a returning customer, your stored payment and shipping information makes buying as easy as a click, driving repeat purchases and a higher lifetime customer value.
Get with the Best
Cart abandonment kills. Make it your resolution to lose fewer customers this year by improving your checkout experience. Look for areas where you can make improvements by improving the information architecture and UX of your product and checkout pages. Pay attention to consistency from page to page, visual hierarchy of page elements, and reducing the information above the fold to only what matters most to the buyer. Of course, every product and audience is different, so it's important that you iterate and test your changes to find what works for you. Use an A/B testing platform like Optimizely or Google Website Optimizer to test page variations before committing to an entire overhaul. You'll have the chance to learn what works without jeopardizing your current revenue.

The success of social movements often relies on their ability to enlist a large public: a critical mass drawing in many others, finally able to constitute a threat to the dominant power, motivating it to change norms of behavior that it dictates and embodies. Such movements must serve as a broad umbrella, bringing together many varied publics. Without doing so, they cannot create a coalition of different power groups, capable of overcoming the disputes between them and bridging class gaps and other disparities in the name of common interests. A social movement like this often avoids statements that significantly exceed accepted norms, seeking a message universal and vague enough so that many could identify with it. No wonder attempts to establish such movements frequently lead to conciliation and vagueness, to a banal and unthreatening entity – a movement that has lost its passion and the kick that set off the struggle to begin with.
Is this also the fate of "Me Too", the movement that broke the dam of silence and brought a flood of public testimonials on a wide range of daily crimes, including harassment, exploitation, abuse, and rape? Will "Me Too" develop into a movement or remain a mere campaign? In other words, will the current storm only gobble up the lives of public figures, or will this wind also blow through the ordinary lives of the invisible millions? Even assuming this struggle does gain force to become sustainable enough for the pages of history, will it entail association with other political-social-economic struggles – or, finally, will it be appropriated and macerated into the Western-liberal ideology?
It is too early to see which direction the future takes, but certainly not early to try and predict future trends or attempt to steer current tides.
"Dead Honeys" is a group exhibition of women artists using the (often hollow) representations of women in popular culture as their raw materials, served for our consumption by a Western capitalist culture. Thus, the gallery space of the Herzliya Artists' Residence hosts an assembly of women, including a reception clerk, a secretary, a health nut, a prostitute, a hottie that just wants to want, a woman after a breakup, an invisible woman, a Fifth Avenue lady, and another dangling on a windowsill between heaven and earth.
All are commonplace female images from contemporary culture, but not those considered by most to be role models. Quite the opposite – these are stereotypical figures, easily sneered at. The participating artists are women that expose the system that generates these images, but also presents the lives possible within them. Their methods link them to patriarchal power structures, sexism, and the market economy. The results, if you wish to look, are submitted proposals of the possible lives of dead honeys.
The day we (did not) break the glass ceiling
Javits Convention Center, November 8, 2016. Everything is set for the historic day: the announcement of the first female president of the United States of America. The leader of the free world. Thousands arrived at the huge convention center on Eleventh Avenue, between 34th and 40th Streets. They queued for hours in the long line waiting to undergo strict security checks. Many mothers arrived with their daughters. The entire space was filled with banners of "I'm with Her", people wearing T-shirts with the slogan "The Future is Female", bright eyes and broad smiles. This crammed hall was vaster by far than that of the Hilton Hotel where Donald Trump supporters were gathered.
And yet, it was not the venue size that convinced the campaign staff of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to choose Javits Center. The first and primary reason to be there is the glass –1,800,000 square feet of clear panes covering every inch of its interior, domed with Manhattan's largest glass ceiling. The choice of venue was a resounding declaration: Hillary Clinton was to stand beneath an actual glass ceiling as she smashed the metaphorical one to bits.
Clinton did take her place on the Center's stage. She did so the following morning, facing a much smaller crowd of stunned supporters, dressed in a dark suit edged in brilliant purple: combining the Republican red and Democratic blue, a symbol that the United States is greater than the sum of its major parties after several months of an ugly political campaign. The ceiling glinting above Clinton's defeat speech seemed stronger and more threatening than ever.
The "glass ceiling" was first coined in feminist discourse during the 1970s, then adopted by many in the following decade. Today there are those that see it as the interwoven narratives of second-wave feminism and neoliberal economics, as neoliberalism rushes to embrace the feminist ideas that serve its goals – and undermine all others. Thus, the glass ceiling metaphor is limited to what is accepted by the current economic system. Breaking this ceiling will have no impact on the capitalist system, merely allowing a handful of women (the elite and privileged, however deserving they may be in their own right) to take their place among the men who have dominated the halls of power for eons. The traditional hierarchies will abide, while any future feminist accomplishments will be forced to pay homage to the popular trickle-down theories that maintain that change first appears up on the lofty summits, and then supposedly slowly dribbles down to the masses.
The collaboration of feminist, multicultural, and anti-racist movements and that of corporate power (Wall Street), high-tech (Silicon Valley), and the Mecca of popular culture (Hollywood) provides strength and visibility to those first trail blazers, then whitewashes the sins of those to follow. So, can the "Free World" boast of progress and liberation while de facto erasing those unfortunate enough not to be included among the very first ranks of the chosen few?
The glass ceiling was not only enmeshed in Hillary Clinton's political career, it swallowed her whole. Clinton, with her pant suits, PC rhetoric and the party functionaries that surrounded her, became the face of the institutional elite (a fact gleefully used by her opposers, and obviously Trump himself during the campaign). Feminist activist Hillary Rodham, influenced by the civil rights movement, who heard Martin Luther King's words and was present in the violent riots of Vietnam War protesters during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The same Hillary that made her student commencement speech in Wellesley College, saying – "we feel that for too long our leaders have viewed politics as the art of the possible. And the challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible". Hillary Rodham was swallowed up in the image of Hillary Clinton, with her hair dyed increasingly lighter. She was tamed into being an inevitable, unlikable candidate, one that eventually became unelectable. The intense activist Hillary Rodham met her doom in the hollow feminine form of Hillary Clinton.
The power of Hashtivism
The pain felt by many across the US and the entire world at Clinton's defeat was made infinitely worse by the identity of her opponent. While every word out of Clinton was prechecked with focus groups and refined to a high polish by speech writers, Trump was unpredictable, aggressive, and astoundingly misogynistic. And if that isn't enough, during the campaign several testimonials of harassment and even sexual assault of various women were made public. Trump is, ostensibly, a garden-variety sex offender. It is unsurprising that "Me Too" and the global wave of personal admissions that came in its wake were one of the most powerful reactions to the choice of Trump and to the culture that allowed this choice to happen.
In early October of 2017, articles were published concurrently by The New York Times and The New Yorker with statements of women accusing Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of a long line of sexual abuses, describing in detail the system that protected him throughout the many years. Shortly after, actress Alyssa Milano tweeted: "If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me too' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". The immense reaction raised awareness of sexual assault in the Western world to new heights and was received with profound shock and consternation by the male half of the population, at least.
And yet, despite the success of "Me Too", is it not a sad fact that a white, popular Hollywood actress was required to step up and get this important movement off the ground? Milano was certainly not the first to attempt greasing the wheels of this collaborative, unmasking, empowering, empathetic process. There are too many precedents to count, with just one example in the form of African-American social activist Tarana Burke, who founded several organizations aimed at empowering sexual assault victims. Burke coined the term "Me Too" over a decade ago but was awarded none of the influence and exposure as the (important) tweet by Milano.
There are many reasons for this, from the maturation of social media, to the disappointment at Clinton's downfall, and finally the opposition to Trump's election and the chauvinistic violence he has permeated the Oval Office with. Nevertheless, there are significant blind spots to the "Me Too" phenomenon. First, as established, it relates particularly with women (and men) of substantial fame, and less to other women (for comparison, one could view similar attempts by African-American women in the US to raise awareness of sexual assault in the workplace through hashtags, such as #YouOkSis or #WhatWereYouWeaaring, which never came close in public reaction).
Subsequently, there is a fundamental flaw in the fact that the only voice finally echoed by others came from the Hollywoodian Olympus – but it is also a ray of hope in the long run. If the success of social movements rests on enlisting large audiences, could there be a stronger enlisting force than that of Hollywood? Misogynism, rejection of the female voice, the derision of women in positions of power, and the violence directed against them have all long been interlaced in cinematic fairy tales, and even previously in Greek mythology, the cradle of all Western civilization, in the story of Echo (fated to echo the voices of others), and that of Philomela (rapped and her tongue cut off so that she could not testify to the crime), or that of Medusa (raped by a god and punished by a goddess, and identified with the image of the bloodied severed head) with a writhing mass of phallic serpents erupting from her scalp. The horrific double standard, punishing tales (for the victims, at least) that expose the systematic oppression so deeply rooted in Western history and deeper, are far more ancient that the mythologies that reflected and depicted them. Will the voices of victims, audible at last, suffice to generate a change of similar historic proportions? Will a renewed look through their perspective be enough?
While employing voice and scrutiny are important, identification is an inherently transient reaction, and empathy alone cannot engender political change. Certainly not when the legitimacy of the speakers relies on their victimhood. While "Me Too" provides visibility to the struggle against sexual exploitation and the culture that creates it, it also flattens its female participants into anonymous victims, framing them for our view only in relation to the men that perpetrated crimes against them. Can this be seen as the anticipated change from those voices of Greek and Roman mythology, where women are only heard as victims or martyrs, usually just prior to their death?
The question of what next step to take is becoming increasingly urgent. The harassers may find their judgement, and one could hope that the norms that normalized their actions be rectified, with new and better behaviors developed and internalized, but is this enough? We seem immune to everything by now – and if we can cluck our tongues and soon return to our daily lives after seeing the massacre of civilians in foreign wars or the butchery of school students, could we be relied on to react differently when faced with sexual harassment? Can we expect the system itself to be sufficiently undermined so that true change is possible in all walks of life? We have witnessed endless repetition of examples demonstrating that the neoliberal system cannot be severed from its white sexist roots. Time after time we have seen its power to subdue the highest pinnacles of opposition, enlisting each movement and wave of activism to its interests.
The innate hostility of the neoliberal system to any change is immediately understandable: a profound remedy of injustices certainly means dismantling the existing world order and those power bases the system is founded on, and which it continues to serve. It would mean ceding the excess privileges of certain segments of the population, and thus inviting a struggle with unavoidable innocent victims.
"Dead Honeys" arises from this complexity, this cautious hope and the obvious fears, directing our gaze to female representations just as dramatic and no less commonplace than those flooding "Me Too" on social media. Familiar figures, regular images, those our eyes scan carelessly, without ever truly seeing. Thus, the space of the Artists' Residence is filled with a host of one-dimensional figures, mundane and intentionally banal. This array of images reveals the mechanisms that produce them as the scaffolding structuring the accepted, the right way to be a woman. Each of these figures in the gallery allows us, in her own way, to delve down into the roots at her core: the origins of a white, sexist economic theory of inequality.
However, beyond all this, each figure also demonstrates a vivacity that gushes into the seam between the generic gestalt and the human body she tries to govern.
Working nine to five
The heroine of Efrat Rubinstein's video work "MultiTask" is a reception clerk working in a large office building, juggling a list of duties, some random and senseless. Rubinstein herself, mummified in a black uniform, plays the lead role. She connects, coordinates and mediates between the various incomers to the building, providing varied services, always with a smile and a softly warm, even tone. Throughout the work we hear her send out endless greetings, exposed to the superficiality of the act. Her territory is contained within the space spanning the reception desk before her and the glass cabinet at her back. She is caged within her narrow, invisible borders, trapped in her uniform and the duty to appease the whims of all who approach her.
She spurns attempts at wooing her on the handheld two-way radio, listens patiently to the demands and various complaints aimed at her, makes coffee for fellow employees and instructs the foreign worker on Hebrew terms. Beyond the cover of her jacket sleeves peek tattoos on her wrists and fingers, a glimpse into the woman required to play the restricted role allotted her. When flowers are delivered for the 24th floor for a marriage proposal, she dryly comments to one of her colleagues on the radio – "Who wants to be proposed to at the office?" (and yet holds on to the rose petal in her hand, raising it to catch its scent from time to time).
Alongside this work is a screening of another video – "ScratchCard", presenting a pet puppy in a storefront window. He too, like the reception clerk, is hemmed in a confined space, between red velvet awnings and the glass. He too was born to please.
Waiting rooms and reception desks are also the backdrop of Noi Fuhrer's sculpture "Out of Order". Fuhrer's reception clerk is presented by a palm, holding a pencil, swinging it back and forth, the depiction of boredom. Under her hand is a nonogram, a picture logic riddle, where you pencil in the squares until an image begins to emerge. In this case, the image forms into a man standing alongside a car, its hood raised and smoke billowing out. This limited segment supplied by Fuhrer allows us to complete the complete picture; in our minds eye we already see her ergonomic chair, computer screen, and office phone.
The positioning of the hand is reminiscent of M. C. Escher's "Drawing Hands", whereby two male hands draw/create each other in perfect symmetry. In Escher's work the hands constitute self-establishment and consciousness, but the hand in Fuhrer's work does not fashion its own awareness. The eternal cyclicality of its motion is powered by a mechanical force.
In another of Fuhrer's sculptures in this exhibition – "Shop-Girl", an artificial nail set with sparkly rhinestones presses a single computer key: the digit 0. The nail presses eternally on that one key, an empty key, its only key. The plastic nail, garishly colored, covers the living nail beneath. It serves as a buffer between ones contact with the world, but the world is itself just another plastic cover.
Jennifer Chan's video – "A Total Jizzfest" – is designed as a PowerPoint presentation loaded with special effects, showing the pioneers of information technologies and the internet, from Alan Turing to Mark Zuckerberg, from Steven Jobs to Julian Assange. All men, all white. Not a single woman among them.
Chan adopts and radicalizes the digital aesthetic of the 1990s, the old-style effects and lackluster animations emphasize the absurdity of this parade of men, and certainly the resounding absence of women in the history of the internet. So, does Chan goad the corporate aesthetic and the platforms presenting themselves as free and democratic, despite having been instituted primarily by men, and still biased towards men till current day. Facebook, for example, began its journey as a closed network for Harvard students to post their pictures, calling on friends to vote: "hot or not".
The absence of women is also palpable in the video work – "New Girl in Town" by Paulina Pukytė and Minna Haukka, focusing on the figure of a prostitute. Pukytė and Haukka gathered dozens of signs printed on uniform A4-sized papers, made by employees of a brothel in London's Soho. The aesthetic of the childish signs, familiar from elementary school, kindergarten and refrigerator doors, displays the naivete of decorations and cloyingly sweet, crayon-drawn embellishment. The texts they present are simple accounts ("friendly Chinese girl", "cheerful, slim, long-legged Brit", "new girl, on the top floor today"). Out of context, these drawings would seem general descriptions of young women. Their appearance stands in stark contrast to what they sell: a human body, a woman whose humanity has become product packaging.
Cooks like Betty Crocker, looks like Donna Reed
The strict dietary regimen of Rasha Asfour provides the foundations for her great project – "Confessions of a Healthoholic". Asfour documents almost two years of her systematic, perhaps compulsive, weight loss. Along with photographs presenting her daily meals – studio shots of calorically well-balanced and colorful compositions of dishes – she also presents identical self-portraits. In this series she stands in her room, near her bed, her back to the wardrobe, dressed in a bathing suit and directing her gaze to the camera. Used to seeing such images in weight loss clinic ads – the "before" and "after" shots – here all we have is a multitude of "befores". No significant changes are discernible from day to day, nor in the entire length of period she documents. Optimistically, she positions the camera each day, filled with the hope these hundreds of images reveal to be left unfulfilled.
"Tomorrow is Another Day" by Efrat Rubinstein (the last immortal words of Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 classic "Gone with the Wind"), contains dozens of green men's shirts, sewn into a curtain. Here Rubinstein references O'Hara's green gown, stitched from curtains and representing her desire to survive. But Rubinstein does the opposite, sewing clothes into curtains, using cheap men's shirts to create a melodramatic and panoramic spectacle.
The video work "Hot Beach Babe Aims to Please" by Jillian Mayer presents Mayer sporadically rising from the sea waves like Venus in a bikini. She leaves the water only to return in an endless cycle. The moment she enters the frame, a flurry of cursers directed by a computer mouse track her body movements like a swarm of pesky flies. The pattern of the cursers is based on research examining how the pupils in the eyes track screens while surfing online.
The aim of such studies is to understand where surfers' eyes are drawn while using the internet (tracking the "hot spots") and utilizing this information to lengthen surfing time on websites and increasing sales and ad exposure. Mayer, investigating the ways in which technology influences our lives and experiences, herself is transformed into a "click byte", with cursers harassing her body incessantly.
In "The Lady from Fifth Avenue ", Efrat Kedem extracts entire worlds from the marginal and transient. Fake fur, paper napkins and plastic petals of artificial plants make up three everyday elements trying to imitate a natural or expensive material, fused into a sculpture no larger than a coffee mug, teaching us something of the false images of Fifth Avenue – the street known to many without ever having stepped foot on its pavement through its many cinematic depictions, that which overlooks Central Park and the Upper East Side, the sites of the Guggenheim and the Met, of Tiffany and Rockefeller Center. Kedem's lady managed to embody in miniature the architype of the privileged woman, and much like the architype itself, its fragility. But along with this fragility and the potential for derision, the figure of trash succeeds in also being amusing, as if aware of her own ludicrousness, opening the path to reclaiming this image, being redeemed from waste.
"The Breakup" by Kedem is founded on a different female cliché: the brokenhearted woman. Comprised of empty ice cream containers and a tissue box. Used together, they immediately identify the female gender (presumably recently dumped), dressed (of course) in her pyjamas, and certainly holed up in her apartment for days. Kedem focuses on the esoteric and unnoticeable, highlighting how TV and cinema representations instruct us on the "right" way to be men, women, consumers. Her works tread the thin line between representation and reality, between the imagined and the tangible, managing to instigate the transformation from consumption waste to daily performances both ironic and fantastical.
There goes another clean slate
There are men and women that believe that, despite the force the "Me Too" campaign contains, it again casts women in the role of victim. And yet, how can we begin to deconstruct this victimhood without bravely and genuinely examining the images of women so inextricably linked to it?
Every one of the figures in "Dead Honeys" succumbs to the role of victim but does so in order to refute and undermine it from the inside out. They deceitfully yield to the image, thus making apparent the inherent incongruity between the living body and the forms forced upon it. This counter-appropriation of stereotypes, even just playing or toying with them, may be part of an ongoing process of dissecting them into their original components, materials that then may be used to form a new image – a figure more alive, suppler and bolder. The signs of life in dead honeys gaining in strength until they erupt from within the system of oppression.
Any critique, however justified, may provoke action or incur paralysis. It seems that this is the time to be rid of naïve cynicism, one that maintains that as these current steps are insufficient, no merit may be gained from proceeding. Maybe the quote – "For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house" – stills stands, but even the master's tools may be used for something. At the very least, they may be turned against themselves. This is the time to begin establishing an active solidarity between women of different origins and classes, without falling into the trap of "divide and conquer". The future, if there is one, is female.
*One cannot avoid considering, in this context, the Medusa's (accusing?) gaze, turning to stone any that catch it, doomed to become one of the men (and women) silenced forever.

Following the Way of the Word
A great obligation
By Ted N. C. Wilson
One Sabbath not long ago I had the privilege of worshipping with 67,000 people in the Citadel Stadium of Luanda, Angola. During the program we watched thousands and thousands of youth in Pathfinder and Youth Ministries uniforms marching for the Lord. It was magnificent. A few days later we were again encouraged as we met with thousands of Seventh-day Adventist young people in Bongo, Angola, and Cape Town, South Africa.
As I travel to various places around the world, one of the greatest joys I have is meeting so many youth and young adults, and I praise the Lord that there are so many who are committed to Christ and the Seventh-day Adventist message.
As a worldwide church family, we have a great and special obligation to these youth—to help them see Jesus in all His beauty, to accept Him and His righteousness, to engage them in the mission of the church, and above all, to point them to His soon coming.
Youth Priorities
Priorities and methods for youth ministry have been widely discussed. One of the more controversial subjects has been that of worship, particularly worship styles and music choices. Some believe that the way to reach and retain the youth is to provide a more "contemporary" worship experience featuring "Christian rock" bands, mystical forms of prayer, and theological approaches drawn from the emerging church movement. Sometimes very articulate non-Adventist speakers are invited to give presentations during the worship hour. But is this really what Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults are looking for?
During the 2010 General Conference session in Atlanta, an informal survey was conducted by the General Conference's Office of Assessment and Program Effectiveness. Attendees were asked, "What would you like to tell your church?" They were invited to share their thoughts in writing. The 253 survey respondents were almost equally divided between men and women, many of whom were under the age of 35.
One of the most popular topics addressed was how to keep youth and young adults in the church, and many of the solutions offered came from the youth themselves. The results were revealing. If we want to retain them, they said the church should:
(1) teach Bible principles and the substance of Christianity early, often, and as much as possible.
(2) package this presentation of the truth attractively but without worldliness.
(3) integrate youth into the daily responsibilities and activities of the church.
(4) provide social outlets at which youth can associate together in a Christian atmosphere rather than seeking entertainment from the world.
(5) listen to the ideas and perspectives of the youth.
(6) get to know and be friendly with youth and young adults.
Interestingly, a quick perusal of Christian research and literature today will show that Seventh-day Adventist youth are not the only ones longing for more than entertainment in their worship experience. They are looking for substance—biblical substance.
If we can engage youth and young adults in real Bible study and service, making them feel very much a part of the church family, we don't have to entertain them. We can engage them in the mission of the church, and they will be inoculated against the temptations of slipping into something else.
Ministry Resonating With Youth
This type of ministry is resonating with young people. Last year I had the privilege of visiting the Baden-Wuerttemberg Conference (Germany) in the Euro-Africa Division. While there I had the privilege of attending the conference-sponsored Youth in Mission youth congress. The music was superb, and the presentations were biblically focused with an emphasis on service to God and humanity. It was a wonderful example of a biblical and Spirit of Prophecy approach to youth ministry.
Each year in North America thousands of young people attend youth conferences organized byGeneration of Youth for Christ (GYC), a Seventh-day Adventist supporting ministry whose leaders are young professionals living across the United States and Canada. During GYC conferences attendees enjoy uplifting music and in-depth biblical presentations and training seminars by a variety of Seventh-day Adventist leaders, listen to inspiring testimonies from their peers, lead out in small-group discussions, and participate in community outreach and service opportunities. Obviously, other youth events try to focus on the Word of God and downplay the "entertainment" factor. Pray for them and encourage our youth leaders as they focus on presentations of the Word of God, prayer, and witnessing.
Differences in Taste and Culture
Having lived in four different cultures on various continents, I understand and appreciate the rich diversity of cultures encompassed by our worldwide family of believers. And as we address issues, particularly controversial ones such as worship and music, there are cultural preferences that we have to understand.
However, there are basic biblical principles that should govern worship and music anywhere in the world, such as that found in Philippians 4:8: "Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."
When you get down to the basics of life, people are much the same, and the principles of God apply to all of us. We are to treat each other and other cultures with respect, and usually we will receive the same level of respect in return. However, we should clearly understand that there is a worldly culture and that there is a biblical/heavenly culture that is applicable around the world.
Being Transformed
Unfortunately, there is a trend within the Seventh-day Adventist Church in some places around the world to accept worldly cultural influences in the church that are inappropriate. One of our great problems as part of twenty-first-century society is that of allowing the world to gradually change our perceptions of what is right and appropriate—whatever is the standard for society tends to become normative.
We are strongly counseled by Paul in Romans 12:2 not to "be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." The J. B. Phillips translation says: "Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould."*
The Way of the Word
I am totally convinced that we have a great obligation to do all we can to encourage Seventh-day Adventist youth to follow the way of the Word and not the way of the world. Concern about worldly influences is not a legalistic emphasis intent on warping the church in its thinking; it has to do with the devil doing his best to neutralize the church by bringing the "world" into the church. This is what I believe Paul is counseling against.
Actually, this is what the three angels' messages of Revelation 14 are about: lifting up Jesus and His righteousness and turning people back to the true worship of God and away from the confusion of Babylon in all of its areas of emphases. I have no doubt that the Holy Spirit will work in His church to keep it from being neutralized.
This is what revival and reformation is all about as we humbly submit to the power of the Holy Spirit working in us and pointing us to Christ and His Word. We are to carry out our work and activities under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the setting of Micah 6:8: doing that which is right but at the same time loving mercy and walking humbly with our God—which means submitting to His leading.
Youth Are Vital
Youth and young adults are fulfilling a vital role in revival and reformation, and I have full confidence that they will continue to be very much a part of the organized church activities to lift up Christ, His righteousness, His soon coming, and His three angels' messages. As I spoke about in "One Year to Change the World" (see Adventist World, November 2011), I believe in the present and future evangelistic and Christian service involvement of Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults. They do, and will, make up a most powerful force under God's guidance.
Let's always remember: "We have an army of youth today who can do much if they are properly directed and encouraged. We want our children to believe the truth. We want them to be blessed of God. We want them to act a part in well-organized plans for helping other youth. Let all be so trained that they may rightly represent the truth, giving the reason of the hope that is within them, and honoring God in any branch of the work where they are qualified to labor" (Ellen G. White, inGeneral Conference Bulletin, Jan. 29, 1893, p. 24).
I invite you, especially if you are a youth member or young adult, to share your thoughts on these important subjects. How are you involved in the life of the church? What do you especially appreciate, and what would you like to see changed in your local area? Share your thoughts via

Hindraf's class action suit gets London hearing on Thursday
Page 2 of 2
"The decision insulted the dignity of the Malay Rulers who were, independently, sultans of nine states," said the statement. "The sultans were merely receiving advice of the Governor of the Federation of Malaya by virtue of the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1948."
Waythamoorthy, meanwhile, said in a telephone interview that "we need to set the record straight".
Otherwise, he cautioned, Malaysians would be misled into thinking that the British Queen was the monarch of pre-independent Malaya.
Elizabeth II had acted as the Queen of the United Kingdom, at all times, and hence was liable for the neglect shown by her officers and government towards the Indian community, "enslaved for almost 200 years" in Malaya.
The statement was referring to Justice Nicholas Blake's ruling previously that the Queen was acting in 1957 as the Queen of Malaya, and not the Queen of the UK.
Hence, the judge reasoned, Hindraf's class action suit should fail on that ground alone.
The judge cited additional reasons, including that there was no duty of care by the UK government towards Indians in Malaya in 1957; even if there was duty of care, the UK government did not breach those duties; and there was no special relationship between the UK government and Indians in Malaya to render the UK liable for the lack of protection afforded in the Constitution given to Malaya.
The class action suit was heard at the High Court in London on March 30, 2016 and April 1, 2016.
The High Court struck out the claim on the grounds the claimants had no real prospect of success and there was no compelling reason why the case should be disposed of at a trial.
The class action suit seeks reparations and certain declarations from the British court "for the injustices suffered by the descendants of indentured labour who were uprooted from their native India and displaced in Malaya".

Hughes's News | 4 September 2018
What a great meeting we had this week! We had lots of partners who came to celebrate with us John Cartwright's 50th Anniversary of his induction into the Rotary Family. Members of the Rotary Club of Bendigo are honoured that John is a member of this club, and we were thrilled to award John a PHF Sapphire Pin for his continuous loyal service to the community of Bendigo. John cut the cake which was shared by all members and guests. Bruce Rassin Rotary International President also sent John a Certificate congratulating him on 50yrs. This was presented to John by our District Governor Bronwyn Stephens who was visiting our Club with her husband Mark. Bronwyn gave us an insight into what she planned for her year in office. Rotary House in Melbourne is one of her passions, Past DG Gordon McKern is coming to talk to us about it next week. Another passion was the End Polio Now campaign which is so near to eradicating Polio. Bronwyn left us jars of Smarties.We enjoy the Smarties and then fill up the jar with $2 coins, which will then be matched with District Grants, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation meaning $1 will be turned into $15 all of which goes to the campaign. I have to admit my jar is empty now, but Pol must take the record of nearly finishing his jar before the meeting finished! I have some more Jars of Smarties for anyone who missed out.
Thankyou to everyone who came to the Parma for a Farmer night on Friday. We had 44 Parmas eaten, I bet nobody could finish theirs, they were enormous! With the Raffle and donations we raised $385 , Bendigo Club matched that money making it $770 plus a $1 for each Parma. The Board decided to up our contribution to $500. So we raised nearly $1000 to go to "Buy a Bale" & Rural Aid.
We have a joint meeting with Bendigo South on September 18th, Our Spanish Night. Pol will be telling us about his Catalan Heritage and his life in Barcelona. Lindsay Jolley RC Bendigo South will explain about the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail. This is a partners night so we need numbers to Lin Kalms email@example.com by 14th September.
We are heading into our busy time of year, so watch out for volunteer requests. We don't want anyone to miss out!! So until we greet PDG Gordon McKern next week , enjoy the weather.

The cracks filled out by Jasper often form during tectonic activity. The cracks will reopen time and time again, which causes the Jasper stone to be shattered and the voids in between will be filled with more Jasper. This leads to the formation of brecciated Jasper, a rock that has repeatedly been shattered.
A detoxifying stone, Brecciated Jasper promotes health and recovery. It sustains and supports during times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness.

Ever find yourself caught in the doldrums? "I have no idea what you're talking about. What are the doldrums?" you say?
The doldrums refer to a place in the ocean where north and south winds collide. As a result, there's not wind there, and in the days of sailing ships, it was a terrible thing to be stuck there. Sailers could often be trapped there, without wind, for weeks. Technically it is the "Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, (ITCZ, pronounced and sometimes referred to as the "itch") – a belt around the Earth extending approximately five degrees north and south of the equator." [Source]
Colloquially, being caught in the doldrums means you're struggling emotionally. Lethargic, low spirits, and lacking energy is how the idiom is used.
"Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, no breath no motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean."
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge from Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
Normally, when ocean metaphors are used, we think of storms. Stormy waters. Even in the New Testament, Jesus' disciples are caught in storms on the Sea of Galilee, and we learn important lessons about Jesus' presence during the storms of our lives.
But what do you do when the opposite is a reality. No storm. Just unyielding stillness. When your life's wind is suddenly becalmed and you find yourself "stuck?" One day, two days, a week… or even more. The longer that you stay in such a place, the more that the inconvenience of a bad mood is replaced by despair and at worst, hopelessness.
I don't have a sure-fire solution that is guaranteed to blow fresh wind in your sails. Life is more complicated than quick fixes. However, I can tell you that for me, my faith in Jesus ultimately provides me with refreshment, even when my seas are too calm for my liking. Both in the storms and in the stillness, Jesus' has promised to be there.
One verse that has encouraged and shaped my approach to the doldrums (and even the storms) is Hebrews 12:28:
"Therefore LET US BE GRATEFUL for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe."
"Let us be grateful."
That simple phrase, tucked away in the middle of a broader thought about God's unshakable kingdom, has helped me immensely. Being grateful requires you to think of things outside of yourself. Ask yourself, "what can I be grateful for?" And a quick list will come to mind. And you'll find yourself counting blessings instead of the counting the lack of blowing wind.
There's an old hymn Count Your Blessings with this line:
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. [Source]
While it's more in line with the "storms" motif, I love the last line of that stanza. I want to be surprised by what the Lord has done. Often when I'm zoned in on what's NOT happening in my own life, I neglect what HAS happened. And when I stop in my stillness to consider "what the Lord has done," I am stunned. God HAS been at work. He IS working. I may not be where I want to be. I may "feel" stuck, but there's purpose in the pause.
Let us be grateful.

Learn about Snorkeling on Abang – GIPI Riau Islands
Most of Indonesia's territory consists of the oceans, and the Indonesian Ocean itself is included in the heart of the world's coral triangle. So it is unfortunate that we as Indonesians cannot enjoy the gift God has given us.
One of them to enjoy the beauty of the underwater is by diving, or what is now cooler called Scuba Diving. But for Diving, it takes expertise and special tools, there are courses that must be taken to get a diving certificate, and even then vary in levels, the higher the cost is more expensive.
Even though snorkeling doesn't need special abilities, even those who can't swim can also do this activity.
But there are a number of things we must know so that we are safe and the environment is also safe, especially for those who first snorkel.
Well, another alternative for us backpackers who have not been able to take diving certification or rarely go down to the sea, enough to snorkel at sea level.
Understanding Snorkeling according to Wikipedia is "Snorkeling (surface diving) or shallow diving (skin diving) is the activity of swimming or diving by wearing equipment such as diving mask and snorkel."
Before Snorkeling.
There are 3 tools that are used for snorkeling, namely Mask, Snorkel, and Fin. While a life jacket is also needed for security.
Adjust the mask to what will be used with your face, because the use of an improper mask will cause the entry of water into the mask and of course it will interfere with the pleasure when snorkeling.
Snorkeling is basically just moving the way we breathe in, which was previously inhaled and released through the nose into the mouth through a snorkel hose. So breathe as usual.
Likewise with fins or frog legs that will help us paddle in the water, it must be in accordance with the size of the feet not to be too loose or too tight.
Before entering the sea try a few moments to breathe through the snorkel hose to get used to.
Snorkeling is not only for those who can swim, those who cannot swim can also enjoy what is important to know how to paddle and must be accompanied by more experienced people.
Make sure our snorkeling location is coral reefs or fish. It's time to get into the sea.
Wear bright colored clothes to make them look (when taking pictures), for those who can't stand the cold, you can use a wetsuit that is usually rented out at the rental place.
Try it in a shallow area before entering the rocky area until you get used to the equipment.
Look at the sea conditions of our snorkeling location, such as water temperature, waves and especially the direction of the current. Enter the water where the current starts flowing and do not fight the flow so it does not get tired.
For the first time you wear fin, you will usually be uncomfortable with these tools, but when you get used to it, it will be easier to help move in the water.
Get to know some dangerous fish and animals inside the sea, don't let the fun turn into a disaster because of our ignorance.
Occasionally look up not to be too complacent by beauty, look at your direction not to get hit by a boat or too far apart from the group.
Apply liquid soap or toothpaste to prevent condensation in the mask.
If you are too dewy how to clean it is to put a little water into the mask then shake the water in the glass, after removing the water clean by pressing on the top of the mask then blow the air hard through the nose.
If water enters the snorkel hose, exhale air through the mouth so that the water comes out. Don't drink it, it's not good bro.
If you are already proficient, try to dive deeper by holding your breath or even cooler, called freediving. But for more, it needs to be studied for the right freediving techniques so as not to endanger yourself.
Let's be a responsible snorkeler.
Don't touch all creatures that are in the sea. Be it coral reefs, fish to other sea creatures such as sea turtles or starfish.
Especially until standing on the reef to rest.
Coral reefs only grow a few inches per year, so do not let our activities damage the beauty under the sea that we should guard.
It takes days for starfish to move from one place to another, don't destroy the sacrifice just for the pleasure of taking pictures.
Bring the rubbish that we bring back to the city or port, not to make a beautiful place polluted by the garbage we carry.
Imagine that you are a sea creature who then comes to a stranger who touches and holds your body, how does it feel?
Take nothing but picture, leave nothing but bubble!
The most important thing is

So the weekend has ended and I have to say that I have never had a more boring weekend in my life! I didn't go on any nights out as I'm trying to save for my holidays, it was terrible. The longest weekend of my life. That will be the last time I ever pull a stunt like that again.
Anywho, I'm going to start of my Wish List with something I have been longing to buy for a long, long time. I spotted this magnificent Michael Kors Rose Gold watch in a magazine several months ago. The reason why it is still on my Wish List is due to the fact that I decided to pass my driving test and have to spend the majority of money on insurance and petrol. (And I don't even have my own car!) However, I really am going to buy it within the next few months. Hopefully.
Next, the real man of my dreams. Everyone has a list of men and Mr Sean Connery has topped mine for years. Yes he may be an older man, (no jokes please), but I just love him and find him unbelievably attractive. I mean, his seductive accent alone makes him a hottie. And I think he has just got better with age. Of course he was beautiful in his James Bond days, but now, he's a piece of art.
A few years back, I had planned on travelling to Thailand and Australia during my summer off from University. I can remember it was around January when I was about to book the flights and accommodation. About one week before going to the travel agents, I was watching TV when I came across a film called 'Wolf Creek'. For all of you who have never seen the film, it's about back packers who are taken hostage by a psycho in Australia and tortured. AND it's a true story! Needless to say, I didn't go ahead with booking the trip. However, perhaps one day I'll visit Koh Phangan for some full moon partying.
Hope you're all having a good day. Did anyone watch Wimbledon? How good and gorgeous is Roger Federer?! 😉

Make Food Taste Different With Different Cooking Oils!
- 9 Months ago
- 4.0
Creativity in our kitchen when it comes to cooking never takes a back seat. Whether you are deep frying, shallow frying, sautéing for a quick stir fry or tossing together for a salad dressing, it is important to know which oil suits the dish you are cooking best.
We are generally overwhelmed by the varieties of cooking oil available in our grocery store. Let's uncover the best uses of some popular cooking oils.
Storage of cooking Oils:
Cooking oil is a food commodity and is prone to spoilage when exposed to air, temperature and moisture. Store cooking oils in cool, dark and well-fitting containers.
Tips to choose the right cooking oil
• For deep frying, use oil that can handle high heat. These include oils like peanut oil, palm oil, sesame oil and avocado oil.
• Shop for oils at a specialty market where you can see a different range of oils.
• Look for fat content of the oil: All oils are fats, but few oils are made up of good fats. Look for oils with high MUFA and zero trans fatty acids for a healthy heart and to regulate cholesterol levels.
Common oils used in our kitchen:
Olive oil: Extracted from Olives. This oil has high levels of antioxidants, and is suitable for every person. Best use: Salad dressing and for coating pastas.
Sunflower Oil: This oil is a great source of Vitamin E when compared to any other oil that is present in the natural form. Best use: For sautéing, light cooking and as a base for salads.
Safflower Oil: Safflower oil is rich in both vitamin E and Omega 6 fatty acids. Best use: For sautéing and light cooking.
Peanut oil: This oil is highly stable and has a long shelf life. Peanut oil gives a unique flavor to the food. Best use: It's high smoke point makes it ideal for deep frying. It is also good to use for shallow frying, and sautéing.
Coconut Oil: This oil increases good cholesterol in the body. Studies have also linked this oil to weight loss. Best use: For light cooking, baking, and for smoothies.
Mustard Oil: Mustard oil is high in MUFA and has fair amount of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Best use: For shallow frying, pickling, light cooking and sautéing.
Remember, any oil in excess can be harmful to health. So, use the right oils in the right way!

Research indicates that portrayals of female leaders help to combat gender stereotypes in the classroom. Studies have also shown that learning about women's accomplishments encourages female students to share their own expertise – benefiting the entire class.
The selected cases below feature women protagonists and are recommended by Harvard Business School faculty. Each case comes with a Teaching Note, and many have video supplements.
This collection was developed by the HBS Gender Initiative which supports research, education, and knowledge dissemination to accelerate the advancement of women leaders and promote gender equity in business and society. Join the Gender Initiative's mailing list.

The Master of Science in Data Science combines the rigorous study of mathematics and computer programming with other essential workplace skills like communication, project management, and entrepreneurship. Students emerge well-rounded with a deep knowledge of mathematical concepts and the critical computer programming skills needed to tackle current data-related issues. Open to both men and women, the Data Science program will expose you to a variety of software and programming languages, such as Python, R, and JavaScript.
The program concludes with a practicum project, which is an opportunity to directly experience the work of a data scientist or data analytics professional. It consists of project-based learning on a significant and contributory business objective in conjunction with practicing professionals in one of many appropriate industries. You can even complete the practicum by working on a project at your place of employment or by obtaining an internship in the area of data science.
Masa Gumiro, a 2019 graduate of the data science program, used his practicum project to help solve transportation issues in third world countries. Due to economic challenges, many businesses in third world countries like Zimbabwe, where Gumiro is originally from, operate older vehicles that lack the latest diagnostic tools for monitoring overall vehicle health. Gumiro worked with Toyota Motor North America to provide a custom solution using IoT (Internet of Things) sensors to monitor tire pressure and provide notifications in real time.
