It's been busy, busy, busy here at Christine Lefebvre Design since I last posted—seven months ago—about the Baselitz and Lozano-Hemmer exhibitions at the Hirshhorn. Thank you to anyone out there who still follows!
Around the same time, and since, we've seen a bunch of openings: Five Communities at the National Law Enforcement Museum; Digital Disruption and A Deadly Attack at the Newseum; Habitat for Smithsonian Gardens (more photos to come); Hoops at the National Building Museum; Wíwənikan…the beauty we carry at the Colby College Museum of Art (more photos to come); and Man Walks on the Moon for the Newseum at Dulles and Reagan Airports (more photos to come).
A few are already nearing the ends of their runs! If you have a chance to visit any, I would love to hear from you.
The Newseum will close its doors on December 31, 2019 (though the Freedom Forum and the Newseum's collection will carry on). It's your last chance to see Digital Disruption in the News History gallery, and the rest of the museum's incredible exhibitions.
I worked with the Newseum on three "pop-up" exhibitions, on view concurrently at Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport. The first of these, Man Walks on the Moon, is closing this week.
Another pop-up at Dulles and Reagan airports will soon take its place—the exhibitions are currently being installed—followed by a third in the spring.
Also closing soon is Hoops: Community Portraits by Bill Bamberger at the National Building Museum. Hoops will close on December 1, 2019, after which the museum will close temporarily from December 2 until March 2020. The gist of a glowing review from a friend: "I thought this wouldn't interest me because I could care less about basketball, however … this is a really great exhibit!"
When the Building Museum reopens, you can look forward to my next exhibition for them, Alan Karchmer: The Architects' Photographer.
Wíwənikan…the beauty we carry at the Colby College Museum of Art will close on January 12, 2020. If you find yourself in the Waterville, Maine area please pay a visit.
And that takes us through the end of 2019! If you miss any of the exhibitions that are closing soon, Smithsonian Gardens' Habitat will remain on view (all over the National Mall) through at least December 2020, and of course there are those three upcoming openings. Until our next check-in….
Phew! It's been a busy 14+ months since I last posted. (14 months?! Oh my….) In that time, I've designed seven exhibitions of varying size and scope, four print projects, and three large production jobs. I'm currently in early design developing for an exciting project in Maine, and then there's the typical day-to-day of running a small design studio. Yep, just sitting around eating bon-bons.
In an attempt to get back into posting on The Exhibit Designer, I'm kicking off with a neat book-end to my last post: two more exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum. These two were both located in the same gallery, and were mounted one after the other.
Baselitz: Six Decades ran from June 21, 2018 through September 16, 2018, then Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Pulse opened November 1. Pulse is on view for another month, if you'd like to check it out! More photos of the projects are here: Baselitz / Pulse.
The title treatment for Pulse played on the pulsing incandescent light bulbs hanging from the ceiling in the installation Pulse Room…
…while the title for Baselitz was a straight-forward title lockup. An early concept, in which "George" and "Baselitz" were alternately flipped upside down—Baselitz is known for his "inverted" paintings—was rejected, and I am a little sad for what could have been.
The straight-forward lockup did create a neat little effect as you ascended the escalator, as the letters' reflections refracted in the glass.
Until the next post…
Current work on view: The Utopian Projects and What Absence Is Made Of, at the Hirshhorn Museum
The Markus Lüpertz exhibition I shared in my last post is no longer up at the Hirshhorn (it came and went so quickly!), but the museum has two other exhibitions currently on view for which I designed the graphics.
First, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: The Utopian Projects:
Working in collaboration with the museum's design department, I designed the exhibition's title wall, didactic graphics, and wall quotations.
The title wall graphic is printed on DreamScape's Caviar self-adhesive wallcovering. I like the print quality of DreamScape's wallcoverings—I first spec'ed them for the FDR Library and Museum in upstate New York, and have used them a few times since.
The wallcovering was installed using butt seams. The installers (Blair, Inc. in Virginia, also the graphics fabricator) did a good job wrapping the wallcovering around the wall's edge, a tricky detail that would have looked terrible if done poorly.
The graphic panels are digital prints wrapped on sign blank with a matte over-laminate. They're hung on French cleats, simple but strong, and an easy way to hang nearly anything. Also on the panels' backsides is MDF blocking that provides rigidity for the sign blank fronts. Here's a photo I snapped during installation, of the panels' backsides:
The Utopian Projects is on view through March 4. The Kabakovs' work is fascinating—their models are so cool. Check it out if you can!
The other exhibition at the Hirshhorn, for which I designed the graphics, is What Absence Is Made Of, on view through Summer 2019. For this exhibition I designed the title wall, didactics, and an advertising poster for the National Mall.
The curator requested reflective vinyl. In addition to layout experiments, I also played with color combinations (silver on white? silver on black? on gray? which gray?). I love the way the selected title design looks in silver vinyl—it catches reflections and disappears/reappears as you walk by it.
If you're interested, there are more photos of both exhibitions on my portfolio page.
Current work on view: "Markus Lüpertz: Threads of History" at the Hirshhorn Museum, and a visit to Sound Scene X
A quick check-in here!
I stopped by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden this past weekend for Sound Scene X, and to take some photos of a project I currently have on view in the museum's lower level.
I worked with the museum's design staff to develop the graphic concept for their exhibition Markus Lüpertz: Threads of History, on view through September 10.
I developed the concept for the exhibition graphics, and after many rounds of refinement, handed over template files for the museum's designers to produce final graphics (with the exception of the timeline graphic, which I laid out). This was done because of scheduling—usually I prefer to handle the layout of final production files.
I also designed two exterior signs advertising the exhibition, for display outside the museum. The blue sign has already been replaced with one for another exhibition—things move fast on the Mall sometimes!
Additional photos of the exhibition are up on my portfolio.
Please check out the exhibition if you're in the DC area! And if you like it, there's a concurrently-open exhibition Markus Lüpertz at the Phillips Collection. I have become a fan of Lüpertz's work—particularly the Donald Duck paintings, one of which you can see through the exhibition's entrance in the first photo, and on the blue sign above.
This weekend was a good time to be a kid (of any age) at the Hirshhorn—the galleries were full of interactive sound installations, live museum, and sound-related activities, all part of Sound Scene X: "Dissonance."
While at the museum, I also took the opportunity to check out their newly opened exhibition, Ai WeiWei: Trace at Hirshhorn.
I'm currently working with the museum on another exhibition, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Utopian Projects, set to open in a month. Stay tuned for that!
In April I spent two weeks in South Korea and a week in Japan. (Why two weeks in South Korea?? I've been asked incredulously a few times. Quick answer: my sister and brother-in-law live there. Another quick answer: it's a great place to visit!)
While in Eastern Asia, I do what I always do while touristing, and visited many museums. Some of them were forgettable, but some of them I think are worthy of a post, including these two that are thematically very(!!) different, but geographically, neighbors. They're both located in Suwon, about 20 miles south of Seoul.
First up is the Toilet Museum (Haewoojae) also known as "Mr. Toilet House."
The story behind Mr. Toilet House: Suwon's late mayor Sim Jae-Duck was given the nickname "Mr. Toilet" for his passionate leadership of the "Toilet Culture Movement" to improve public toilets. In 1996 he started the Beautiful Toilet Culture Campaign, and the city declared its intent to build the most beautiful public toilets in the world (motivated also in part by the then-upcoming 2002 FIFA World Cup which they were to host). Mr. Toilet took things a bit further than merely creating government departments and task forces, however, when he rebuilt his own house in the shape of a toilet and named it Haewoojae, which means "a room where you can relieve your worries." It features a central toilet room as the "core of living," with transparent glass walls that turn opaque with the flip of a light switch.
The house was completed in 2007, and upon Sim's death in 2009, it was willed to the city of Suwon. The city then converted it into a museum and culture park.
The museum is small and has clear, simple graphics (nearly all with English translations) that earnestly convey information about the history and global spread of modern sanitation, and other toilet-related subjects.
There are also lighthearted illustrations of poops and flies (including on the floor, used as a navigational device) and [perhaps unintentionally] hilarious double entendres in the writing.
Outside, there is a culture park. A meandering path leads you past examples of toilets used throughout Eastern and Western history, to give an understanding of how toilets have physically changed over time.
Next door you can visit the Haewoojae Culture Center for a birds-eye view of the Toilet Museum.
Next stop in Suwon: the Nam June Paik Art Center. The Nam June Paik Art Center opened in 2008 and holds 248 pieces of video installations and drawings, mostly of Nam June Paik's but also of other contemporary artists. The art center hosts changing exhibitions of Paik's work, special exhibitions of contemporary artists, performances, events, and educational programs. It also houses Paik's archives and a library, undertakes research, and publishes scholarly journals and monographs.
The art center changes exhibitions regularly; they use their Nam June Paik-focused exhibitions to focus on different aspects of his work. While I was there, the exhibition was called Point-Line-Plane-TV, which "explor[ed] Nam June Paik's canvas including intermedia such as television, score, film, and video, in notion of flatness."
On the mezzanine level is the Education Room, seen in the photos below; a quiet place to have a seat and read some tables about the artist's life.
Upstairs was Imaginary Asia, a special exhibition of 23 pieces in the motion images genre. Many of the videos were projected onto large walls, with small bench nooks that sat 2–3 people for viewing.
Like at Mr. Toilet House—and actually at many, many places I visited in South Korea—navigational cues and directions were applied directly to floors. In the Point-Line-Plane-TV exhibition they also applied interpretive text to the floor. Interpretive text was in both Korean and English.
Outside, the curved glass exterior of the the art center is modeled on the form of a grand piano, a common motif in Paik's work, and on the letter P. But that is only apparent when you look at the museum map—the actual experience from outside is of an impressive modernist building.
There's a small park just beside the museum—perfect for a rest after an afternoon's museum visit—and nearby are the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum (which has limited English translations) and the Gyeonggi Children's Museum.
If you stop by the Smithsonian National Postal Museum during the next couple of months, you'll be able to see two exhibitions that I've designed. One is New York City: A Portrait Through Stamp Art (on view through May 14; quick blog post here); the other just opened.
Beneath the museum's escalators, in the Franklin Foyer, are two cases for temporary exhibitions. The museum intends to change these cases often with displays of recent acquisitions, favorite objects, niche subjects, and the like.
I created a design system for the museum's in-house use when putting together these quick-and-small exhibitions, and I designed the first exhibition to use the system: a "sneak peek" of an upcoming exhibition about WWII airmail tentatively called Letters With Wings.
The design system included color palette, guidelines for layout of didactic and label graphics, sets of case furniture and graphic panels, and examples of case arrangements.
I also designed a series of banners and an "attract graphic" to brand the Franklin Foyer space. The attract graphic will be a geometric, cone-like acrylic structure with a changeable title panel; two will be installed in the open triangles of space between the artifact cases and the undersides of the escalators. (You can see the "open triangles of space" in the photos above.) They will protrude ever-so-slightly into the space, above head level, and draw visitors' attention from the atrium space. They're not currently installed, but I look forward to seeing them there in the future.
Back to the currently installed exhibition, Letters With Wings. There are no physical artifacts in either case so artifacts are represented as printed graphics. (Docents will occasionally bring out the real objects for visitors, while they also prepare them for the larger exhibition.) Still, the printed objects are mounted to sintra, which gives the graphic panels depth.
If you're in the Washington, DC area, please check out this little exhibition, and New York Stamp Art too, while they're still on view!
My final post about the Montréal museums I saw during my visit to the city in September 2015 (see also the Insectarium, the Biodôme, and "Lazy Love" at the Biodôme); here's a look back at Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal's Archeology and History Complex.
The Pointe-à-Callière complex is built on archeological sites that span the city's history. Exploring the museum is very interesting, and a lot of fun; you take passageways, bridges, and stairs over and through the archeological remains. Like the museum building itself, which was built on pilings to protect the site, exhibition elements tread lightly among the artifacts, and visitors are asked repeatedly via signage not to touch the remains.
Like most places in Montréal, museum graphics are in French with English translations. I like the way the two languages are interwoven on the red lobby banner above.
The permanent exhibition in the basement, Crossroads Montréal, takes you through 1,000 years of the city's remains, including the first Catholic cemetery (dating from 1643), and the foundation of the Royal Insurance Building (dating from 1861). Excavations continue and more exhibitions are planned to interpret what is unearthed.
On the one hand: very cool premise, and very cool space to explore. On the other…I had trouble getting and keeping my bearings. Perhaps because the graphics didn't hold my attention? The ruins themselves were more intriguing than any block of text could ever be.
I would have liked more information directed at the museum "streakers" like myself: the people who move quickly through exhibitions, and only read titles and very selective [random] bits and pieces of labels. (On my best days, I can be a "stroller.") Perhaps a printed guide map would have helped me to understand where I was within the museum and what I was looking at. Perhaps I should have taken a guided tour.
I did like the graphics' integration into the museum's building structure, particularly the ceilings, and the minimalist construction-site aesthetic of their structures. Artifact cases, too, were carefully integrated into the site.
Most graphics were rear-illuminated, which worked perfectly with the museum's underground atmosphere.
Also belowground is the Building Montréal exhibition, where you'll find the museum's archeological crypt.
The photo above is of the vaulted stone tunnel built on the bed of the Saint-Pierre River. (See what I mean about the museum being fun to explore?)
Set into the floor of Building Montréal are more than a dozen dioramas that show the city at different points in time. I love this use of space, and the vantage point it gives visitors. (I wrote this post about exhibition flooring, seven years ago, and Bridget mentioned the Pointe-à-Callière in the comments. I finally saw it for myself!)
At the time, the museum had a temporary exhibition on view called Snow, a fun look at winter culture in Canada.
Note the snowflakes cut from the apron fronts of reader rails in the photo below.

LATEST: View our Virtual Truro School pages here...
LATEST: Headmaster's Updates...
LATEST: Remote Teaching...
We were pleased to welcome Beverley Naidoo, winner of the Carnegie Medal, to Truro School Prep last week.
Beverley talked to all of the Year 5 and Year 6 pupils about 'The Power of the Pen' before providing workshops about 'How to Craft a Novel or Short Story' and interview sessions with selected pupils from Year 6.
Beverley Naidoo was born on the 21st May 1943 in Johannesburg,South Africa. She grew up under apartheid laws that gave privilege to white children. Black children were sent to separate, inferior schools and their families were told where they could live, work and travel. Apartheid denied all children the right to grow up together with equality, justice and respect.
As a child Beverley always loved stories but only started writing when her own children were growing up. Her first book, Journey to Jo'burg, won The Other Award in Britain. It opened a window onto children's struggles under apartheid. In South Africa it was banned until 1991, the year after Nelson Mandela was released from jail. A few years later, when the parents of all South African children had the right to vote for the first time, Nelson Mandela was elected president.
Journey to Jo'burg, Chain of Fire, The other side of truth and Out of Bounds are set in South Africa under apartheid, while No Turning Back concerns the experiences of a boy trying to survive on the streets of Johannesburg in the immediate post-apartheid years. The Other Side of Truth and its sequel, Web of Lies, deal with the experiences of Nigerian political asylum seekers in England. Her 2007 novel Burn My Heart has an imagined point of reference in the boyhood in Kenya of a second cousin, Neil Aggett, being set in the 1950s during the Mau Mau Uprising.
Beverley Naidoo has also written several picture books, featuring children from Botswana and England. In 2004, she wrote the picture book Baba's Gift, set in contemporary South Africa, with her daughter, Maya Naidoo. In The Great Tug of War and Other Stories she retells African folktales, the precursors of the Brer Rabbit tales.

Bills fans celebrate belated Thanksgiving by roasting 'turkey' over garbage can fire
There are a few ways to cook a turkey. You can roast it; you can stick a can of beer in it; you can fry it. Or, apparently, you can rotate it over a flaming garbage can.
Bills fans, who never fail to disappoint, did just that before Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
That looks great. Now who's got the sides?

Paragon Testing Enterprises is pleased to announce that the CELPIP-General Test is now designated by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) as proof of English language proficiency for those applying to immigrate to Canada under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
The new designation information will be made available on the CIC website during the first week of January 2013. However, for those applying under CEC, CIC will accept CELPIP-General Test results that were written on or after November 23, 2012.
The CELPIP-General Test is now designated under the following classes of immigration to Canada:
- Federal Skilled Workers and Professionals Class
- Canadian Experience Class
- under various Provincial Nominee Programs
The CELPIP-General Test is a complete English language testing program that assesses general levels of functional competency. The test is completely computer-delivered and consists of following components:
- Listening
- Speaking
- General Reading and Writing
The Canadian Test
The CELPIP-General Test uses the English variety spoken in Canada. Individuals wishing to immigrate to and adapt to life in Canada relate more to understanding and using Canadian English than other varieties of English used in other comparable testing systems.
Interested to hear what Canadian accents sound like? Check out our CELPIP-General Listening Sample Test.
Benefits of the Computer-Delivered CELPIP-General Test
1. Allows test candidates to complete all components of the test in just one three-hour sitting. The Speaking component requires no additional appointments with an examiner. This allows test candidates to demonstrate their English proficiency without the confounding effects associated with human interaction as used in other testing systems.
2. Completing the test with a keyboard and mouse rather than paper and pen can provide a considerable advantage to the test candidate, especially in the Writing component.
3. The use of a headset for the Listening component allows test candidates to adjust the volume to suit their own needs.
4. The Writing component includes an automatic "word count" function.
5. Each component of the test includes a timer, which allows test candidates to keep track of their own time.

Militants to revive "Pilipinas Kay Ganda" slogan in anti-contractualization protest
November 22, 2010
The militant Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) will tweak the reviled "Pilipinas Kay Ganda" slogan in the workers march on Makati this Thursday. PM will bring tarpaulins with the message "Kung Walang Kontraktwal, Pilipinas Kay Ganda" and "Kung Trabaho ay Regular, Pilipinas Kay Ganda" to the National Day of Action for Regular Jobs and Against Contractual Employment on November 25.
"The 'Pilipinas Kay Ganda' brand may not be appealing to many but we believe it describes our dream of a country where workers enjoy job security, living wages, substantial benefits, decent working conditions and the freedom to have a voice and representation in the workplace through a union," stated Renato Magtubo, PM chairperson. PM will also make streamers with the message "Kontraktwalisasyon, WOW Mali" as a play on the old tourism slogan "WOW Philippines."
The various labor groups that have come together to denounce the decision of Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on the mass layoff at Philippine Airlines (PAL), will hold the nationwide protest to push for government regulation against contractualization. The Philippine Airlines Employees' Association (PALEA) and the union at the Fortune Tobacco Corporation (FTC), another Lucio Tan company, will lead the main activity at Ayala Ave. in Makati. Aside from PM, big labor groups that have confirmed attendance in the march along Ayala Ave. include the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, Koalisyon Kontra Kontraktwalisasyon (KONTRA), Labor Alliance for Better Order and Reform (LABOR), and the Church-Labor Conference (CLC).
"This is now a fight that is beyond PAL. In factories, shops, offices and malls contractual workers are working side-by-side with regular employees in doing the same job for lesser pay and worse working conditions. We demand that government institute reforms to enhance job security and stop contractualization schemes," argued Gerry Rivera, PALEA president and PM vice chairperson.
Participating in the Ayala march are FTC union members who are restive over another corporate restructuring which threatens the job security of its more than 2,000 workers. At 6:00 p.m. tonight hundreds of Fortune Tobacco Labor Union (FTLU) members will hold a prayer rally outside the factory gates in Parang, Marikina City. Last November 12 some 500 FTLU members held a torch parade from Parang to Concepcion.
February this year FTC and Philip Morris Philippines, Inc. announced the formation of the joint venture company Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corporation (PMFTC). FTC has told the union that it will offer early retirement to some 1,000 workers then forcibly terminate another 2,000 workers before being rehired in the merged PMFTC. The union is demanding that PMFTC absorb the FTC workers without loss of employment status and recognize the union and its existing collective bargaining agreement.
Aside from the Ayala march, rallies will also be held in other key cities like Davao, General Santos and Bacolod on November 25. In Cebu City the mass action will be held a day earlier with a labor forum at the ALU Building in the morning and then an afternoon rally at the local Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) office.

The New Season has begun! The snow has fallen, as predicted, and our selfish passion to go fast on the fluffy snow now has some release. That Passion to fly on a frozen cloud will drive us into the New Year with warm hearts, cold noses and a raging thirst for great libations! The holidays are upon us and even our bellies know that all is Calorie Free at Altitude! So why not have another plate? Lucky for us we now have a few New restaurants in Vail to help you fill that growing void.
If you want to mingle with a sophisticated crowd and enjoy the finer things in life then head over to the Root & Flower bar on Wall Street in Vail village. Even if you just want to get drunk on wine during the daylight hours, this is the place!
Affectionately called the Orphanage by the 3 owners, Root & Flower came into existence from the ashes of another local talent factory called Restaurant Kelly Liken. Kelly sold off her space and left her staff lost and alone. Like other great locals before them, since this scenario is nothing new, they fled out on their own with a new passion for their existence.
Root and Flower serves paninis, soups, salumis, cheeses, and some of the great wines of the world to Quaff till ones content. The offer catering as well as wine and spirit classes to improve your drinking skills and your probability of hanging with the elite.
Speaking of Chef Kelly Liken….. Her old restaurant has been re-vamped into a new Champagne Brunch and Steak frites place. Called Vintage, this restaurant came in with a storm and embraces our day drinking public. Now you can get that Sunday fun-day brunch feel any day of the week. This is vacation-ville after all and everyday should be enjoyed like a weekend!
The also serve up a mean Steak frites at dinner time. Located in the Gateway building by the main Vail roundabout.
Kelly has moved on to the outskirts of Edwards where she has taken over Balatta Restaurant on the Sonnenalp golf course in Singletree. Being that this is a recent move, we will wait and see what this celebrity chef will transform the old and outdated space into. It will surely impress and delight the masses in the coming months.
Annapurna Nepalese and Indian food, located in the Evergreen Lodge, will hopefully fill that curry niche. The concept is not new to the valley but has never lasted long. Hopefully this New Beginning in Vail will shine. I personally love Indian food and I plan on being a regular. Mango Lassies and all!
Crespelle crepes Is in the process of moving to the top of Bridge Street. In its former location, the Clock Tower building, will be another new restaurant. I am not yet sure of the name but I am sure it will be a welcome addition to our growing town.
No matter what type of food you are craving after a day of skiing, Vail has it all! Right beside some of our shining stars that have been here for 40 years or more come some new and inspired local Restaurants to help feed the hungry masses. This winter season and New Year should start with a Delicious bang!
To all the new restaurant owners, we wish you all the best and happy New Beginnings!

Douglas DV60 Prototype
|DV60 MOD prototype
|Excellent (3)
One of the late GD Brown collection; this number 3 of 3 prototypes was purchased from the Douglas factory when Graeme acquired all the Douglas spares. It remains the sole prototype built by Douglas. There is quite a history to this machine, which remains the property of GD's son, and we know it was damaged by fire when an incendiary bomb set the Works alight during an air raid! After the war it was resurrected but never went into production. Three were built for the Ministry of Supply, sent to the Army testing ground at Farnborough and submitted for approval. As we know they were never put into production, although apparently the bike performed well in the tests. The machine is interesting in a number of respects, particularly the unique telescopic saddle pillar. The 600cc sidevalve machine weighed 315 lbs, cosumed a gallon of fuel in 90-100 miles and had a top speed of 70 mph. Most importantly it was inaudible at 400 yards. When we have it running that will make an intersting video.
This machine will only be sold to a museum collection as it is of great historic significance. Offers in the region of £20,000 will be considered.

Initiative, Referendum & Recall
Article I, Section 3 of the PA Constitution clearly states, "All power is inherent in the people…they have at all times an inalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think proper."
Unfortunately, the Constitution thereafter provides no mechanism for the people to exercise their "inherent power" over state government. Thus, the people's political will is suppressed; property taxation, for instance, persists even though a significant majority of Pennsylvanians wish for it to be abolished.
A significant majority also wants term limits, lawsuit reform, and a host of other actions that lie dormant under the weight of special interest groups' influence and the inertia of the General Assembly.
CAP's View:
Citizens in 27 states have the power of Initiative & Referendum, and Pennsylvanians should also have it—as well as the ability to recall corrupt public officials—in order to give life to the state Constitution's clear directive that "All power is inherent in the people," and to break the political logjam on a host of pressing issues upon which the people have sought action for years—if not decades—with zero results from Harrisburg.
Of course, there are poorly written Initiative and Referendum laws (California's I&R law, for example), but there are proposals that would not result in ballot clutter or unfunded mandates.

Edge: A Novel by Jeffery Deaver
Reviewed by Allen Hott
Quite a bit of a different story overall and pretty good except that Corte, the hero, seems to be overly involved with game playing. And mostly board games as he is constantly referring to them or how they are played while he goes about his business.
Corte's business is working as a undercover federal agent as a shepherd or guard over people who have been targeted by lifters. Lifters are criminals who hunt down (for a price) individuals, who one way or another, have become knowledgeable about a person's indiscretions. The particular lifter in Edge is a gentleman named Henry Loving and Corte has seen how he works. Loving had recently killed Corte's buddy and co-worker after using inhumane torture on the man.
Now it appears that Loving is after a D.C. cop named Ryan Kessler and it is up to Corte to protect Kessler and his family. This means he will take them often from one safe house to another and all the while protecting them and their whereabouts from Loving.
As is sometimes the case though, as the story moves along it appears that it may not be Kessler himself who is the target but one of his family. Overall that doesn't mean much to Corte except that he has more than one individual to watch over. He usually does anyway as he, on his own, deems it necessary to protect family members of lifter's targets.
There is much movement between locations and even some movements that are not necessarily set up by Corte's bosses. He happens to determine, through some of his unofficial helpers or buddies that something else is going on. It seems that someone in the upper echelon of Corte's workforce has been making some decisions and movements that do not blend in with his shepherding plans.
This means he will take the aid of those closest to him and make other arrangements to do all possible to protect Kessler and his family which doesn't make his superiors happy.
When he begins making some of these alternative moves things kind of go wild and crazy. Corte at all times appears to be in pretty good control of the situations but now he not only is having to make moves to hide from Loving but he has to do so without letting his own supervisors where and why he is doing the moves.
The story is sound and the action is constantly moving forward. However it seems to be the case anymore that there are more and more characters and more and more twists to the basic story often added. In this one some of it is the game playing references! Perhaps it is to add more adventure but I am beginning to think it is to add more pages to the book!
But it is a good book and I think readers will like it.

Danish-born PNB dancer wraps up an illustrious career with 'Beauty'
The Royal Danish Ballet is celebrated for many things, among them maintaining the tradition of Denmark's greatest choreographer, August Bournonville, and breeding great male dancers such as Erik Bruhn, Peter Schaufuss, Peter Martins, Adam Luders, Helgi Tomasson, Ib Anderson and Nikolaj Hubbe.
Most of those men made their careers outside of Copenhagen, as did Danish dancer Flemming Halby, a fixture on the Seattle dance scene for more than three decades, the last 20 with Pacific Northwest Ballet. His performances in the company's production of "The Sleeping Beauty," which opens Thursday night at McCaw Hall, mark the end of his career.
By the time he joined PNB, he was doing character roles instead of leading men, including Friar Lawrence in "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," Drosselmeier in "The Nutcracker," Dr. Coppelius in "Coppelia," Sancho Panza in "Don Quixote" and the Prince's Tutor in "Swan Lake." In "Beauty," he has done two roles: Gallison, tutor to Prince Florimund, and Catalabutte, the king's master of ceremonies. He was also a major figure in the PNB School as a member of its faculty and principal of its Seattle campus.
Halby, whose onstage qualities mirror his Bournonville training -- warmth, buoyancy and bravura that does not call attention to itself -- enjoys a life in dance that began in 1952 when he entered the Royal Danish Ballet School, one of 12 chosen out of 365 applicants. He became an apprentice four years later and was appointed principal dancer in 1966. He was also a principal dancer with First Chamber Dance, which moved from New York to Seattle in 1972.
Since Royal Danish Ballet is very much a state organization in the European mode, Halby had civil service status, which guaranteed employment, then a pension, unlike most American dance companies in which dancers' contracts have to be renewed every year. Nevertheless, when he was invited to join First Chamber Dance as it was about to embark on a tour, he jumped at the opportunity. He asked his company for a year's leave of absence, but then liked dancing with this chamber company so much, he never returned.
"I was having a great time, dancing everything, which I would not be doing in Copenhagen," he said. "We worked hard but we had a lot of fun and toured constantly."
His introduction to First Chamber was through Bruhn, who had been one of his teachers at Royal Danish.
When the company moved to Seattle, there was little in the city at the time in terms of dance.
Pacific Northwest Ballet had just been founded under the auspices of Seattle Opera and gave only a handful of performances. "We were pioneers," said Halby. "There was nothing out here. We liked Seattle. We had been traveling so much on the West Coast, we thought it crazy not to live here and enjoy the fresh air."
But the economics of dance were not kind to First Chamber and it folded in 1979. Then Halby and friends, including another First Chamber dancer, Sara Deluis, formed a school called Dance Lab. When it closed its door, Halby contacted PNB looking for a job and was promptly hired.
Just as he liked dancing, Halby likes teaching: "It is very satisfying to see the result of what you have done, not only in creating dancers but also human beings ... In the classroom, there is not a sound from the students because they are so interested in what they are doing and what the teacher is saying."
Once he formally leaves PNB, Halby is moving, with his wife, Alexis Hoff, another former member of First Chamber, to a suburb of Guadalajara, Mexico, where they will build a new house for themselves and the inevitable round of visitors they expect.

Dow Chem.challenges scientists, invests in universities
A challenge to scientists at The Dow Chemical Co. to revolutionize the company's products and processes led to a 10-year, $250 million investment in university programs across the country.
The expansion of partnerships with 11 universities, including $3.7 million for University of Michigan researchers, will help Dow address its challenges while engaging university faculty and students in real-world research tasks.
"It's been a long time since companies could do it all by themselves, and a long time since universities could solve problems all by themselves." said Stephen Forrest, U-M's vice president for research. "The problems are a lot bigger."
Partnering with companies like Dow makes the work of the university's staff and students more relevant, Forrest said.
"It makes us much more effective at responding to needs not just at Dow, but the culture and the communities where we live," he said.
Four grants to professors in the U-M College of Engineering and U-M College of Pharmacy could one day lead to better medicines, cosmetics, paints, research tools and more.
An idea from the research could become valuable intellectual property, which Dow could then begin prototyping, scaling to a larger market and commercializing, said Theresa Kotanchek, Dow's vice president of sustainable technologies and innovation sourcing.
Much of Dow's 10-year investment is focused on chemical engineering programs to address future workforce needs and pressing global issues, Kotanchek said.
"These are problems we feel if solved can have very positive financial impact for the company," she said.
The program with U-M has Dow employees working as champions within the company to bring concepts to reality, Forrest said.
"Having professionals working alongside students showing what really needs to be done to solve a problem makes the students and faculty so much more effective," he said. "...When you have this tight relationship, everybody feels they have a stake in the outcome."
William Banholzer, Dow's chief technology officer and executive vice president, said the investment builds on Dow's commitment to science, technology, engineering and mathematics education for K-12 and undergraduate programs.
"This fills that hole of the Ph.D and graduate education," he said last month at the company's investor day in New York.
Forest said U-M's partnership with Dow will go beyond the current grants to build an ongoing relationship. That type of relationship also is seen in U-M's partnerships with General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and others, all of which weathered the economic downturn.
"Mostly, problems are solved by who you know and forming a group of experts that is flexible and can attack problems," Forrest said. "In the downturn, companies saw this was not a time to withdraw from the world. (It was a time) to reinvest and look to the future."
At Dow, that investment has been seen in a growing research and develop budget to create new products that will serve as revenue streams for the future. Kotanchek said working collaboratively makes everyone smarter and faster at solving problems.
"We look forward to further expanding our relationships," she said.

KUCHING: The state government is in negotiations with AirAsia Berhad to pave the way for the construction of a Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in the city.
Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the negotiations "are now in the process" but he cannot disclose any information yet.
"We are now in the process of negotiations with AirAsia," he said when asked if there was a plan to build an LCCT here when met by reporters after attending a function at SK Rakyat in Satok yesterday.
Abang Johari said the site for the proposed LCCT had "more or less" been identified but it was "not confirmed yet".
Asked whether he could disclose the proposed site, he replied: "Near the airport (Kuching International Airport – KIA) lah."
On June 8, Minister of Sarawak Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said he was in favour of having an LCCT if the proposed facility could facilitate the growth of tourism industry in the state.
"If a separate LCCT building could expedite and facilitate the growth of tourism industry in Sarawak, of course it would be good to have it," he said.

Mt. Cheaha Harley-Davidson will host the annual Rumble on the Loop this weekend, and organizers expect more vendors and bigger crowds in the motorcycle festival's third year in Oxford.
The festival begins with a kickoff party Friday night, according to Hailye Hatton, an event planner for the store, and picks back up Saturday morning through that evening, with live music by bands throughout. The chrome-heavy party this year has a Las Vegas-style theme, she said, with showgirls and casino games played with tokens.
Around 1,500 attended the Rumble last year, Hatton said, and there were six vendors. This year, she said, the store has lined up 25, selling food, patches, jewelry and other items.
Two local hotels blocked rooms especially for the event, and are "pretty much booked," she said.
"We're definitely expecting a lot more than that this year," Hatton said.
The party will be held outside the store along Davis Loop in Oxford, starting Friday at 6 p.m. with live music from J.B. Walker and the Cheap Whiskey band, Hatton said, and pool tables available for play.
On Saturday, the Rumble resumes with bike games at 11 a.m., and a motorcycle show that starts at noon. Four other musical groups — Troy Mowrey and Phillip McCain; Jobe Fortner; Geneva; and Buck Wild — are set to play throughout the evening.
Hatton said that attendees can play blackjack and poker, and there will be two slot machines — playable with tokens obtained at the event.
The Rumble will also feature a silent auction Saturday, with items taken from the dealership and from visiting vendors, Hatton said. Proceeds from that auction will be donated to Interfaith Ministries' Meals on Wheels program, she said.
WHAT:Mt. Cheaha Harley-Davidson's annual Rumble on the Loop
WHEN:Friday, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. or later.
WHERE:231 Davis Loop, Oxford
COST:Admission is free, but registration for the motorcycle show is $ 10, or $ 15 the day of.

I don't know if the title translates into anything in any language but inspiration for a title wasn't forthcoming today and, what with the Juneathon activity being a cycle to and from work which wasn't particularly thrilling in itself, the first letters that fell to fingers got hit and posted.
The evening has consisted of mowing the rear lawn in an odd fashion – instead of stripes along the length or across the width, I've taken the option of first going from kitchen to damson tree (the one in the far corner, not the centre right of the plot) on an oblique, then crossing through this from greenhouse to willow (the dead one for which I need the services of a tree surgeon – it's too tall for me to risk doing myself a proper injury) before skirting the plum and shed corner to complete a lap. The difficulty is now tying in the fruit bush area of the garden having exhausted tidy possibilities by outing the bit by the silver birch too soon in the proceedings.
It looks odd with varied striping, but I quite like it and feel it needs a change from routine to avoid trenches being forged by the wheels hitting the same patch too often.
I'll try to finish the job before the weekend and then come up with something different to do for the front.
694.78 miles to go.
43.04 Juneathon running miles.
451.44 Juneathon cycling miles.

From what little I know about sexy coffee, I think this is the same recipe although this was titled Spanish Coffee.
Lime Juice
1 1/2 oz Kahlua
1 ds Triple Sec
1 oz 151 Rum (2 Tablespoons)
Coffee To Fill The Glass
Granulated Sugar for the rim of the glass
Whipped Cream To Garnish
*Cinnamon was used in the version I had. A dash of it was thrown on the flame for effect and it was sprinkled on top of the whip cream for flavor.
*One version used Bailey's Irish Cream. You can experiment and see what you like best.
*One version added a whole spoon full of butter. I didn't care for it, but I guess it would add a rich flavor.
Dip the rim of an 8- to 10-ounce glass in lime juice and then in sugar. Add the rum and Triple Sec. With a long match, carefully light the liqueurs, swirling the glass to melt the sugar on the rim. Pour in the Kahlua and then add the coffee. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately. ( Be careful it's HOT!)
This video gives a quick demonstration on how to make the coffee. The caramelizing of the sugar on the rim is no small thing. The taste of the caramelized sugar mixed with the coffee is delicious! I don't think the drink would be the same without it.
This video shows the amazing presentation. One of the times we had sexy coffee they waiter pored rum in the saucer he sat our glass on and lit it on fire and served it to us with the flame still burning. It was really amazing!
Enjoy! And if you burn your house down, blame YouTube! :)

"Digitizing Entrepreneurship for Impact" means the opportunity for all entrepreneurs, no matter where they are located, to contribute to solving global challenges. Whereas the gravitational pull of national and regional innovation hubs cannot be denied, the entrepreneurial spirit can awaken anywhere that a true challenge and creative idea collide, no longer limited by physical constraints. Digital connectivity (in many places once isolated but no less affected by problems facing the planet) now allows entrepreneurs working outside traditional hubs to make a difference by developing technological solutions that are relevant not only locally but globally.
There are many dimensions to empowering digital entrepreneurship for impact. This paper focuses on three:
1. Effective entrepreneurial education – going beyond skills to include both an internal mindset and external ecosystems
2. Responsible and resourceful data use – leveraging the importance of data to serve as both a motivator and catalyst of new solutions
3. Inclusive digital platforms – filling gaps in budding physical hubs, whose entrepreneurs gain value from sharing insights and resources.
Within each of these dimensions, this paper aims to clarify the changing role of the entrepreneur, identify the resources needed for success, and provide practical case studies, recommendations and metrics that serve as food for thought to anyone whose objective is fomenting entrepreneurial activity with impact.

Dr. Ashley Kittridge, DO, FAOCD, FAAD
Dr. Ashley Kittridge is a board-certified dermatologist in the South Hills of Pittsburgh with a passion for quality patient care and with an expertise in medical and cosmetic dermatology. She is the owner and founder of the first direct care dermatology practice in the Pittsburgh area and a co-founder of Direct Care Physicians of Pittsburgh. Her practice model puts the patient at the center of their care and eliminates distractions from insurance companies and government regulations. Dr. Kittridge is dedicated to working directly with and for her patients and not a third party.
After graduating from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania Dr. Kittridge attended medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pennsylvania. Dr. Kittridge was a member of Sigma Sigma Phi Honors Society, was awarded academic achievement awards and scholarships and graduated near the top of her class. She subsequently completed an AOA/ACGME accredited internship at the Western Pennsylvania/Allegheny General Hospital and went on to complete her residency in dermatology at Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio.
During her career Dr. Kittridge has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on topics including autoimmune blistering disorders of the skin, cutaneous findings in rheumatology disorders, hair loss, and atypical skin infections. She has presented at local and national meetings.
Dr. Kittridge is a fellow of the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (FAOCD) and the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD). She is also a member of the American Society of Dermatology Surgery, International Peels Society, Pittsburgh Academy of Dermatology, Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology and Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association.
Her interests include the complete spectrum of general adult and pediatric dermatologic conditions. She also practices dermatologic surgery.

Dr. Kittridge remains active in her education and continues to further her knowledge with the most up-to-date general, surgical and cosmetic dermatology treatments. Performing peels is one of her favorite procedures. As a member of the International Peels Society, Dr. Kittridge has worked directly with national and international leaders in the field to adapt extremely effective, efficient and safe chemical peeling techniques. Chemical peeling is an art and a science. It is not a one size fits all approach.
The Less Nerdy:
Dr. Kittridge grew up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is happy to have returned to her roots to practice dermatology. In her free time, Dr. Kittridge is often found doing some form of exercise; from hanging from gymnastics rings to walking on her hands. One of her favorite days of the year falls in July, when both she and her husband get to celebrate a shared birthday!
Top Secret:
Favorite procedure to have done?
I won't lie, I have 3 favorites: toxin, micro-needling with PRP and peels! These low-downtime procedures make me want to do the happy dance.
Favorite skincare routine?
My favorite is an anti-aging cocktail. I use Kittridge Dermatology's 0.1% RA cream mixed with our Bio-Therapy PM overnight moisturizer and Neocutis Bioserum. These products make the perfect trio for anti-aging, anti-oxidant, hydrating….shall I go on?
Favorite sunblock?
Sheesh, thats tough! I alternate between Kittridge Dermatology's Tinted/Matte SPF 50 and Alastin Hydratint- both are serious must-haves for everyone!

When people say the word 'art studio', it tends to bring to mind some high ceilinged, airy space in an old industrial style building downtown. Or an apartment style loft with hardwood floors and a freight elevator that may or may not be in use. With big plants, and paint splatters. Sky lights. Eisles. Models. None of these things are my reality. They are for some people, but not me.
The truth is that my studio had been spread out between a garage-turned-storage-space, a home's mudroom and a spare bedroom. Not exactly the romanticized bohemia as perviously described. None the less, this set up worked for me. You do what you can and you make it work.
Lucky for me, this situation was temporary.
When we decided to build our own garage, an important part of it was putting a loft space above it with a separate entrance that could be used as a studio. And now? The garage is built. The inside is painted, my mountains of studio stuff has been moved in (though not organized) and I've only called Health Links on one occasion.
All that to say, L&R Studio is officially in ONE studio.
Happy Wednesday.


text: Here we have some more wonderful artwork from another student on the graphic design diploma course. Helena shows some super calligraphy. The graphics course focuses on all manner of essential typographic terminology and layout options, but also includes the opportunity to practise the art of calligraphy. The first piece shows how this student experimented with the art of calligraphy before embarking on a further piece of work. This is a particularly successful example which the student has taken on to use as the basis for the design of a typographic musical flyer. The calligraphy suits the orchestral event well and once again demonstrates terrific command of this style of writing.

Founder and CEO of Bragi LLC.
Disappearable Computing and what it means to us | Nikolaj Hviid | TEDxTUMSalon
Published on Sep 6, 2016
Interaction with computers evolved drastically over the last three decades - we went from punchcards to terminal to graphical interfaces and smartphones. As we start wearing increasingly tiny computers very close to our body on a day-to-day basis, Nikolaj Hviid projects this trend into the future. What if computers disappear completely to become part of our body? This contextual, disappearable computing will change the way we communicate, work and get medical treatment. With information as the new currency, our lives as we know it will be turned upside down.
The Danish entrepreneur Nikolaj Hviid is the CEO and founder of Bragi GmbH, a company that initiated the most successful crowdfunding campaign in Europe with BRAGI - The Dash. He founded Bragi in 2012 to create a unique user experience through wearable computing.
Nikolaj's vision is to create discrete computers that entertain and take care of you, helping you to understand your body and to get better at what you do. His goal is to enable people to do things they couldn't before. The Dash was successfully launched as the world's very first completely wireless smart headphone offering freedom of movement, maximum comfort and amazing sound – all while audibly coaching, tracking movement and capturing key biometric data. The Dash is the world's first audible contextual computer and a new computing platform.

There is no question that "there was flagrant violation of the law" during Florida's election, the state's governor-elect Ron DeSantis (R) told Fox News in his first interview after Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum (D) conceded the race on Saturday.
Florida's election saw a bitter campaign marred by racist innuendo and malfunctioning voting machines in majority Democratic precincts. And even after winning the race following contentious recounts, DeSantis maintained Republican claims that crimes had been committed during the election.
Speaking to the Justice With Judge Jeanine program on Fox late Saturday, DeSantis celebrated his "re-election" win while also criticizing balloting and early voting. "I don't think there was any question that there was flagrant violation of the law," the Florida US congressman said.
"Some of these votes that were counted late, a day or two after the election, were supposedly cast during early voting and they were just never reported as having been cast," he continued. "And we have a lot of transparency and legal requirements precisely because that's what confers legitimacy to these results."
DeSantis won the governor's race after a legally mandated ballot recount was completed on Saturday following the initial November 6 results were too close to call. Recounts were also ordered in two other Florida races, meaning the state had to review 8.2 million ballots in just five days.
The recounts have led to Republican lawmakers claiming that Democrats are trying to steal the election, including President Donald Trump.
DeSantis pointed to two counties in particular: Broward and Palm Beach, which also saw vote-counting problems in the 2000 presidential race. He told Fox News that what happened in these two counties "really tarnished the image of the state."
Last week, current Republican Governor Rick Scott also claimed without evidence that there was rampant fraud in both Broward and Palm Beach counties, blaming Democrats specifically.
Despite these claims by Scott and DeSantis, officials have found no instances of voter fraud.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman Jeremy Burns, for instance, said that he was told there are "no indications of fraud" and so they won't be investigating the issue. Election monitors in Broward County also have seen no evidence of criminal activity, a Florida Department of Election spokesperson told the Miami Herald.
At the same time, Broward Circuit Judge Jack Tuter called for the rhetoric on criminality to be toned down. "These words mean things these days," he said, "as everybody in the room knows."
While Gillum didn't hint at his future plans post the election and the end of his mayoral term, he did give a nod to the ongoing tensions surrounding voter fraud. Upon conceding, he called for updating the state's election system to "bring it into the 21st century."

From the time she was very young, Marissa was a girl on the move. From gymnastics to dance, figure skating to competitive swimming, she loved keeping an active, healthy lifestyle throughout her high school years and beyond. So naturally when her Mother introduced her to yoga, she fell in love with the movement aspect it offered, along with its combination of balancing strength and softness.
After completing her bachelor's degree in psychology, Marissa moved to LA to pursue a career in Public Relations. Not long after, she decided to move back to Miami and change course, completing a yoga teacher training.
Now instructing most days per week, Marissa strives to teach a soft yet powerful class. One that challenges your body and mind – as balance is very important to her. She also loves to get creative and keep things fresh with her flows and playlists.
When Marissa isn't on her mat teaching, you can find her working on her swimwear brand, Mahina Bikinis that she designs and manufactures here in Miami!
