Congressman Andy Barr's (KY-06) legislation, H.R. 3898, the Impeding North Korea's Access to Finance Act of 2017, was passed unanimously today by the House Financial Services Committee. During yesterday's debate of the legislation, which would impose the most far-reaching sanctions ever directed at Pyongyang, both Republican and Democratic members of the committee praised the bill.
Click here to watch Congressman Barr's opening statement followed by the full committee debate on H.R. 3898.
Key statements from the committee debate:
Committee on Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX): "I believe when this bill becomes law, this clearly builds upon existing U.N. and U.S. sanctions and will make it more difficult for North Korea to develop their nuclear weapons program. So it is an important bill, I appreciate the bipartisan work done on it, and I urge all members to support it."
Committee on Financial Services Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA): "The first crisis is the alarming, rapid acceleration of North Korea's nuclear and long-range missile programs that have led many lawmakers to believe that the U.S. needs a concerted increase in sanctions pressure, one that could threaten Kim Jong-un's very hold on power. H.R. 3898 would provide precisely this kind of a new approach to North Korea…"
Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX), Vice Chairman, Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee: "We have a great responsibility to each and every American to do all that we can to keep the citizens of this great nation safe. With H.R. 3898, members of this committee can do their part in shutting down Kim's illicit weapons programs. I urge all of my colleagues to support this legislation."
Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI), Ranking Member, Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee: "I want to join others in thanking Chairman Barr on the Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee, and all the colleagues on that subcommittee, and the colleagues on the Terrorism and Illicit Financing Subcommittee, for working on a bipartisan basis for this important legislation to impose strong secondary sanctions on North Korea."
Congressman Robert Pittenger (R-NC): "Mr. Barr's legislation sends a strong message to North Korea that the U.S. Congress objects to their irrational and dangerous behavior."
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY): "North Korea's recklessness threatens the stability of the region and the entire world. We have to do everything in our power to stop them. This includes tough new sanctions as well as secondary financial sanctions to cripple their finances – and that's precisely what this bill would do… This is a really vital bill that addresses the most pressing issue facing our country. I'd like to thank my friend, Mr. Barr and all the people who work for him, on this important bill."
Congressman Denny Heck (D-WA): "I am pleased to add my voice in support of H.R. 3898 not only for the contribution I am optimistic it will make in slowing North Korea's development of nuclear weapons, but because frankly, of the way the bill has come together. Crafting this bill through regular order, with both hearings and an open markup, and in a strong bipartisan manner, and not simply waiving our jurisdiction… I tip my hat to Congressman Barr in this regard."

For Employers
Employer Information
If you have an employee who is obligated to pay support pursuant to an Income Withholding Order you will receive the order, forms, and instructions. Any employer or other payor of funds shall withhold the amount specified in the Income Withholding Order, together with the handling fee as provided in A.R.S. §25-510, from the income of the person obligated to pay support or spousal maintenance. Income means any form of payment owed to an individual, regardless of the source, including wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, workers' compensation, disability payments, payments pursuant to a retirement program and interest.
An Income Withholding Order for child support has priority over all other executions, attachments or garnishments. An obligation for current child support shall be fully met before any payments pursuant to an Income Withholding Order may be applied to any other support obligation. Under state law (section 33-1131, Arizona Revised Statutes) no more than one-half of an obligor's disposable income for any pay period may be taken to satisfy an order issued for support or spousal maintenance. Disposable income means the remaining portion of wages, salary or compensation for personal services, including bonuses and commissions, or otherwise, and includes payments pursuant to a pension or retirement program or a deferred compensation plan, after deducting from such earnings the amounts required by law to be withheld.
If the employee is ordered to pay child support for more than one family and the disposable income amount available for withholding is not sufficient to meet the total combined current child support obligations the employer or payor of funds shall allocate any monies withheld from the obligor's income to each as follows:
- The amount of current child support ordered in each case shall be added together to obtain the total current child support obligation.
- The amount of current child support ordered in each case shall be divided by the total current child support obligation to obtain the percentage of the total current child support obligation to be allocated to each case.
- The amount withheld from the obligor shall be multiplied by the percentage for each case to obtain the amount to be allocated to each case.
To access the interactive Child Support Allocation Worksheet. Tab through this form and enter:
- Monthly current support amounts from the multiple court orders and
- The employee's monthly income.
With that information the amounts for each court order are calculated for you.
If a court or administrative order requires a parent to provide health insurance coverage that is available through an employer doing business in this state, the employer shall:
- Allow that parent to enroll the child in the family coverage if the child is otherwise eligible for that coverage without regard to any enrollment season restrictions.
- If the parent is enrolled in family coverage but fails to enroll the child, enroll the child under the family coverage on the application of the child's other parent, the child's legal guardian or the state IV-D agency.
- Not allow the employee to refuse to enroll or to terminate the coverage of the child unless the employee provides the employer with written proof that the court or administrative order is no longer in effect or that the child is enrolled in comparable health insurance coverage and that coverage will take effect not later than the effective date of the termination of coverage.
- Withhold the employee's share, if any, of health insurance premiums from the employee's compensation and pay those premiums to the insurer. The amount withheld from the employee's compensation shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted pursuant to section A.R.S.§33-1131.
If an order for medical insurance coverage is in effect and the employment or insurance coverage is terminated or the carrier is changed, within ten days after the change the employer shall notify the other parent and the state IV-D agency (if appropriate) of the change and of the last day on which health insurance coverage is effective and of any conversion privileges that may be available. If the employer offers more than one plan, the child shall be enrolled in the plan in which the child's parent is enrolled or, if the parent is not enrolled in a plan, in the least costly plan that is otherwise available to the parent.
The Obligee, the Obligor or the department or its agent in a Title IV-D case may file a request to terminate any order of assignment if the obligation to pay support or spousal maintenance has ended or will end within ninety days after the filing of the request and if all arrearages either have been paid or will be paid within the period or have been waived pursuant to A.R.S.§25-504 or A.R.S.§25-505.01.

How To Optimize Your Presence In Search Engines
There are quite a few hard things to understand when dealing with SEO that may cause you confusion, but don't allow that to make you not build a site that's great. Just go over the following text for search engine optimization to help your site do well.
When you develop SEO pages, it pays to have lots of shorter pieces on related topics instead of a single long one. A long page will not get you additional attention from a search engine. Also, you'll find that most of your visitors don't want to look at something that is multiple pages.
When attempting to use SEO on your site to increase traffic, make sure your site is coded well. When search engines see coding that is not well done, they will pass it up. Text-free Flash will be entirely overlooked by spiders.
To get better rankings with the search engines, populate your "metatag" area with a variety of keywords. Even better, include misspellings of your keywords. The search engine spiders will "crawl" these tags and find your site relevant to the keywords, bumping up your site in the list of search results. Try to include a variety of keywords, along with some that are misspelled. For example, a website about aquariums would have keywords such as "fish tanks," "aquarium," "tank," etc.
Find out how long they have been in business and how many clients they have served. To make an educated choice, you need to be aware of all risks and potential downsides that may be involved.
Anchor Text
When creating anchor text for your website, simply using "click here" or other generic terms is not enough. Do not just put "click here" because this will not do anything for SEO. If you use the correct keywords in your anchor text, search engine spiders will be able to locate your content quickly.
Engaging meta description tags for each page on a website can be very useful when obtaining search engine optimization goals. Doing this will help your rank with search engines because they will use the tags to see and show what your website is about. Your meta descriptions should pack a punch. Visitors will see this information and want to click your site, and even may help you beat out pages that rank higher.
Search Engine
Creating a blog and interacting on several other blogs is a great SEO tip. Blogs are a good way to get a high ranking. Search engine robots love blogs because they are constantly updated with new content. If you want a high search engine ranking, backlinks are really important.
Site maps can be the lynch pin in driving your rankings with the search engines. With a sitemap, you will make it easier for spiders to index your site. A significantly large website might require more than one site map. One map should have less than 100 links.
You will soon learn how to rank well with search engines by using the tips above. It's not about luck because there is no discrimination among the search engines. All you have to do is employ the right strategies correctly and your rankings will improve.
You're Going To Love This SEO Advice
While some choose to complain loudly in the streets, others make a living using their guts and determination to create their own business. If you are willing to change, continue reading to learn how to utilize SEO on your website.
Several articles on different topics are better than one long article on your website. Pages that are long don't do as well as the short ones within search engine results. On top of that, you'll bore readers with too much text.
As you build an SEO page, try not to be fooled into thinking about advertising as a primary tool. While advertising elsewhere drives traffic to your site and increasing income, it doesn't boost your rankings.
Pick a name for your domain that includes some of your keywords. Picking a keyword that people search for as your URL will ensure that your website is easier to find in search engines. Not everyone will arrive at your site through ads, many will come from product searches.
Find a name for your domain that relates perfectly to your product and is easily remembered. If people will only hear your site name out loud, as in a Youtube video, this is doubly important.
Product feeds can really help bring you business by reaching a broader online audience. These feeds will list details about your products and services, such as images, prices and descriptions. Make submissions to shopping comparison sites and all of the major search engines. Customers can also subscribe to your feed with a feed reader.
Never utilize Flash on a site that you wish to be optimized. Flash takes a while to load and is not readable for some spiders, so it isn't indexed. In order to optimize your website, the content must be able to be searched and indexed by search engines.
One common myth suggests comment tag keywords improve the visibility of a website. It is more important to have quality content on your site.
Keep your content fresh by writing and posting new content as quickly and as often as possible. On Monday, write down the number of stories you will write this week, and don't waiver from this commitment. The search engines are looking for web pages that produce new content on a regular basis versus a page that only has a small amount of new information added periodically. Consistently updated content equals higher page ranks.
It may be obvious, but register your website with the popular search engines. Many people think this is automatically done. Search for your site occasionally to ensure you are still indexed. Even if you aren't at the top of the results, at least you know your site will show up when others are searching.
Some people believe that wealth ought to be shared equally, but that way of thinking won't help with the bills. Focus on finding success and do your best to search out the tools that can help you get there. Use these tips to increase your chances of website success.

SEO is a wonderful way to surpass your rivals' websites. To use search engine optimization effectively, you need to learn some of the basics that make this technique work. This article will give you the best methods to get yourself noticed, as well as those methods that you should best avoid.
Do not fall into thinking advertising can boost your ranking for search engines. You may get more traffic, but it doesn't change your ranking.
Search Engine
Search engine optimization can be accomplished by many techniques. Once you view areas for improvement for your website, you can choose to allocate your budget dollars to make specific improvements to maintain or improve your website's usability by users. When you improve the search engine performance, you can potentially give the user a better experience.
Header tags should be used vigorously. They can be a bit too big sometimes, but use CSS and change their size. Search engines love headers and use them as a means to rank a website. By using H1 or H2 tags for highlighting important products or services, the search engines can find something worthwhile. Many digital agencies are well versed with this techniques to get themselves to rank higher in search results.
Quantcast Scores
Getting your PageRank up requires getting, and keeping, visitors. You can measure your visits to your site by using things like Quantcast Scores. This could have a bearing on your PageRank. This information comes from metrics such as Quantcast scores. Discussion areas are a wonderful way to hold onto your visitors.
A product feed is an effective way to grow your client roster and attract a larger number of visitors to your website. The feeds can give info to your clientele, including descriptions of products, prices, and even images. Submit them to sites which compare prices and to the major search engines. Feed readers make subscribing to your feed easy for your customers, too.
Search Engines
One effective technique for SEO is to start a blog related to your website. Blogs rank well on search results, as the search engines are constantly seeking new content and a well set-out website. Backlinks are very important for ranking highly in search engines.
When you add a site map to your site you add in an essential part for search engine optimization procedures. Search engine spiders will crawl the site more easily with a site map in place. You may need to include a few site maps, if you have a big website. There should be a maximum of 100 links at most on every site map.
Search engines are more likely to correctly grasp the content in your website if you use descriptive title tags appropriately. When making title tags, keep the character count under 60. Most search engines don't display anything past that number. They favor the first 60 characters, as well, giving less weight to words past that.
So you can do this all by yourself and use the advice here to help you with SEO. There are quite a few resources out there that can help you with this sort of thing. There are websites out there that will allow you to learn more, along with great books.
Putting your website in a prime place to be found is what search engine optimization is all about. The article you have just read gave you multiple tips on how to make this happen for you. Applying these simple tricks will get your website noticed in no time, so increase your traffic today!

This is the doily for my mom.
It's Coppelia from Tatting Patterns and Designs by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson.
It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Pink Blossoms. My mom's favorite color is pink which I just found out this year, so I think this will brighten her day, and with all the snow we have had, that would be a good thing!
I tried to get some good pictures. No perfection here, but I think it turned out good.
It's just a bit larger than my hand.
Off to try and start/finish a long awaited pair of friendship bracelets. Hopefully I will have something to show soon! :)

As regular readers might have noticed, I've taken to cooking my and freezing dried beans myself, rather than buying canned. Yesterday it was the turn of a bag of Judion de la Granja "giant" Spanish butter beans – not cheap at 8 quid a kilo, but they taste great even if the giant aspect of this batch was rather lacking. And they were 6 months past their BBE date which matters little – they just take a tad longer to cook. Since they normally take a long time, this is hardly noticeable.
The problem was, including a chopped onion and carrot, the full kilo filled my 3.5 litre slow cooker right to the top – seriously over-filled – so I had to keep moving the beans around, bringing those on the bottom to the top, and pushing those on top down. It all worked out nicely in the end.
A kilo of dried beans, after a 24-hour soak in cold water, followed by 10 hours in the slow cooker, plus cooling overnight in the cooking liquor, yielded 2.432kgs of cooked beans – three 800g+ portions** – and 833ml of rather good stock. Only one portion, sadly, if I want it to make its presence felt.
Both beans and stock are packed in Lakeland's 1litre Soup 'n' Sauce bags – very robust and easy to fill and seal.
And even at the exorbitantly high price of the dried beans (ordinary butter beans cost £2.18/kg at Sainsbury's and, to be honest, cooked the same way, the difference in taste isn't huge, but the Spanish beans are much heftier), plus the bags (25p each), they still work out cheaper, and taste better, than canned beans. Chemical-free too.
And while this is not, strictly speaking, a recipe, it gets one Spoonie spoon for being very easy and undemanding, and the return on the minimal effort invested is huge.
All I have to do now is find room in the freezer…
**Portions – I normally use 3 cans of Napolina beans, which give me 720g drained weight. Depending on the recipe, 800g+ might not fit, so any left over are the cook's treat, lightly fried in butter and seasoned with sea salt flakes and white pepper.

Everyone wants to change the world. But the truth is that no one needs change more than you. With this handicap if a person tries to change the other the result will be disastrous. Instead of transformation disintegration will occur. Only when a person is filled with light can he/she become a light to others. When you change the world starts changing. Self-knowledge is the transforming force.
Self-knowledge is the most difficult thing not because it is difficult but because there is a fright in knowing the truth about your-self. Because of this unconscious fear a person will consciously try to create all kinds of hindrances to this effect. When a person within him/herself it will become obvious that the image created of the self to the world is false. It will become evident that the whole life is a pseudo-existence. That there no love only a pretence of love. There was no happiness only pretence of happiness. It will become undeniable that the whole life was an act of deception. Because of the fear of exposure a person will do everything possible to avoid it and in the process create many images of the self. This guilt of creating false images prevents people from looking within.
People tried to be occupied twenty four hours of the day because it keeps them from avoiding confronting the self. A person may be constantly occupied with money so that the self may be buried underneath this occupation. But no matter how much money is earned there is still no satisfaction as the basic motivation is not to gain money but to remain occupied. A person may do the same thing over and over again because it is difficult to be at ease with the self. That is the reason the great masters said that is person is able to sit for a few hours without doing anything he/she will become enlightened.
Another fact is that it is difficult to maintain these fictions, so changes have to be made again and again to perpetuate this falsehood. Because of the fear to look within clouds are created so that everything looks misty and the self becomes blurred. Jesus is insisting, "Know thy self".
There are two was of being good. The first is being good – which is very difficult. The second is to prove that the other is wrong and even if you are not good it give you a feeling of being good. It is this second method to which Jesus is referring here. A person need not be good just prove that the other is wrong and it gives a feeling of being good. There is no need to change the self just magnify the badness in others to look innocent. It can be observed that if something bad is said about a person it is accepted without any argument but to accept someone as good proof is required. Deep down everyone seeks to be good but it is difficult so the only alternative is to prove that someone else is worse in order to feel a little better.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7:3-5
A person may be looking on others as darkness to get a feeling of being in the light. Jesus implies that this is the problem with those people who try to transform society. Everybody wants to change the other whether it is the priest, politician, social worker or a leader. The other is considered to be in darkness but the truth is that this is a projected darkness. Projecting this darkness on the other is the result of being in the dark. Hence such an approach is wrong and dangerous. The so called leaders are trying to destroy the darkness which is actually not there in others but which they (leaders) can see. They see hell in others because it is the only way they can feel heavenly.
Jesus in edifying his people to understand that self-realization is the way to change. A person can only change him/herself. The moment this happens the world starts to change. Realizing the inauthenticity of the images created the religious person begins to drop them. Self-knowledge is a transforming force; nothing else needs to be done. Jesus says, "first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye". The beams in a person's eye prevent clarity of vision of the self. Only when these beams are removed can the eyes penetrate into fact without any projection. Self-knowledge happens to a clear mind, a mind that is not filled with judgements of good and bad. Once this self-knowledge happens through a clear mind the light will flow from that person like from a lamp, or like fragrance from a flower. The lamp is lit which will light others and everyone is benefitted. Life becomes a blessing.
God bless

You gotta be bold if you're going to speak publicly for a living and to present your own opinions. Particularly for comedians who are in the spotlight these days, and are the group most likely to have their career ruined based on those opinions. Whether an audience agrees or not, these are the people who are willing to go on stage with a microphone with the intention to just find laughs and the truth. The true standup is the modern storyteller, the raconteur that has been so important in our history in sharing ideas and stories that are different than our own. To put us in the middle of a scenario that we would never be able to place ourselves in had it not been shared by someone willing to let us into their life. These are the people that should be getting rewarded not silenced.
Canadian comedian Mike Ward has wrestled with government authorities who have tried to sanction him for presenting his opinion to entertain others. In his latest comedy special "Infamous", Mike shares his continuing fight with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Mike's expert storytelling transports the audience into his world- one that goes far beyond most of our life experiences. In his first English language special Mr. Ward is not apologizing, he's not justifying –-he's just telling us… "Listen to this crazy shit that happened to me". And it's fascinating.
The Interrobang: The special seems to be a comment on the media. But you're also talking about your story. You're not looking to justify or explain anything that happened. You're just telling a funny story about what happened, hoping that people with common sense will get on board.
Mike Ward: Yeah, A couple years ago when this started happening in comedy and people were offended for stupid shit, it felt like as a comedy fan, comedy might be dying. I see in maybe the last two years, that people get really happy when they hear people talking like this, because they're like… Hey I'm not the only one who still likes this type of humor… I'm not the only one that gets that you can do a rape joke and not be a rape apologist. I think you should be able to make fun of everything.
The Interrobang: It was a pretty bold move to make your situation the main topic of your special.
Mike Ward: Yeah, well there's no hiding when you have to go to court with the Canadian government. And we lost, so right now we're under appeal. I wanted the story to be available on my special the day the verdict comes out. I want people to be able to Google me when they see the verdict on the news and be able to hear my side of the story. The way I have always done things, and I think most comics are like this, is if I have something to say… I'll do it more on stage. I will always tell my side of the story, and there's truth in there, but I will always make it funny. So I wanted people to know that I'm not just some asshole who went to court with my government. I'm also a half-decent comic.
The Interrobang: Do you think things may be swinging back from this PC fear that has been so encompassing over the past few years.
Mike Ward: I think that we definitely are. For comedy fans going to see shows a couple years ago I feel like a lot of comics were holding back, because they were afraid they were going to get into trouble. Now I feel that Comics have almost gone fuck it… if you don't think we're allowed to say this or do this, F you I'm going to do it anyway. I think those specials are the ones that I like the most, and are the ones that comedy fans like the most. Like Joe Rogan's last special, I think was perfect for the time. This is what we needed after everyone talking about Hannah Gadsby nonstop. That was nonstop for like six months, then I saw Rogan's special on Netflix and I was like… there's still real comedy out there.
The Interrobang: You shot your special with an intimate room and a live audience. Some of the other alternative specials took another direction, and it seems like most successful comedians react with the attitude of "If people want to watch them and like them… that's fine, but we're going to continue to do what we're doing over here, so don't let that bother you."
Mike Ward: Yeah that's the way myself and a lot of other comedians feel. The Hannah Gadsby thing… I didn't like it… but I get why some people would. It doesn't feel like comedy to me. I want my special to feel like comedy. I wanted people that hate me, or think that they're gonna hate me to watch my special and go oh shit this guy is really funny. I wanted to hate him, but he's really funny. If you listen to the bits I'm not a bad dude, and I didn't want it to feel fake. A lot of the time it will be someone's first special and they're in a room in front of 4,000 people… and you're like fuck you, that's not real. That doesn't feel real. I'm part owner of Le Bordel comedy club here in Montreal, so we taped it there. It's a small room, and since it's a little bit edgier here and more raw it has sort of an old-school feel. So I wanted kind of an old-school look, everything worked out perfectly… except for it not being on Netflix.
The Interrobang: During the special, you it said something about wanting to become more mainstream, was that just played for laughs or is there any truth to it?
Mike Ward: No, no… that was just for the joke. I thought there was something funny about me saying I wanted to become Ray Romano. Like whenever you Google me, it's always something about me going to the court. Last week the media in Canada picked up on a story where I had done a show for the Hell's Angels. So, every newspaper in Canada wrote that Mike Ward is an honorary member of the Hell's Angels. There's something funny about that to me… a guy when you Google him, it reads.., "Well he made fun of a kid, he went to court with the government, and he's a member of the Hells Angels" … then it says "He wants to be Ray Romano."
The Interrobang: "Infamous" came out a few months ago on Amazon Prime. Did you approach Amazon?
Mike Ward: I originally pitched it to Netflix because I recorded two specials, one in French and one in English. I wanted them to drop the same day and I figured Netflix will be the best place to do something like that. So we pitched it to Netflix and they were interested in the French one, but not the English one. So we were like fuck it …I wanted them to be available at the same place. We wanted to get them out there, so I was even thinking YouTube, but I wanted to at least kind of break even. We put them out on Vimeo, both on the same day. Then the English special was released on Amazon just in the states and in the UK. It's weird because Netflix just wanted the French one and I was like Fuck you, I'm only putting the English one on Amazon.
The Interrobang: Did you see a lot of response to the double special that went up on Vimeo.
Mike Ward: Yeah I did, I was happy that we pretty much broke even already. This is my first English language special, and I wanted people to see it was available if they Googled me or saw me somewhere, so they could have my stand up to watch. I could have done it for cheaper, but we filmed it in 4k… so in 10 years if I watch it again I didn't want it to be an embarrassing quality. I wanted it to look halfway decent.
The Interrobang: You're a name that comedy fans know, but people may not be familiar with a lot of your material because it was mainly in French. You're very well known in French Canada, but there's only a small crossover to the U.S.– so with the English language special I'm sure you're starting to see a lot of feedback from English speaking fans.
Mike Ward: Yeah, I started to see a lot of response right away. Since I have a show on Compound Media, and I went on Anthony Cumia's show to promote it, I got a lot of the Compound fans to see it on Amazon. That's also one of the reasons why I wanted it to be free in America. People who have known me for several years know it's going to be good, people that like me will like it so they will be willing to pay. For someone who has only heard me like one time on Anthony's show or one time on Joe Rogan's podcast, aren't going to spend money to give it a chance. That's why I wanted it to be free. Especially now that everyone's special is free… so if you are getting Dave Chappelle for free, why would you pay for Mike Ward?
The Interrobang: You're probably tired of this stuff by now, but you have become kind of a touchstone for how comics react to getting into trouble. You're the only person that people can look to and say "Well Mike Ward has gone through it, so maybe he can help me out." Do you find when something like this happens to other comedians; they reach out to you and ask your advice?
Mike Ward: Any time this happens to any comic, sometimes they reach out, sometimes they don't. But I always reach out to them. There is something very bizarre about the way the world is right now. If something happens to you as a comic everyone talks about it on social media for a couple of days, and in your mind the whole world is talking about you. But then a day later everyone on the internet forgets… but the one person that doesn't forget is the comic that got shit on. So they go out and think everyone hates them. So, I always tell them to lay off social media for a couple of days, because you're not going to be able to defend a joke on Twitter. Just lay low for a couple of days, and then try not to let it change you.
The Interrobang: I'm sure that comics are appreciative when they are in the middle of that storm to hear from somebody that has going through it.
Mike Ward: This usually happens in Canada or in the UK; because I think the audiences here are a little more sensitive than American crowds. A few years ago when my thing happen, I couldn't help thinking that Americans are so lucky because you have the First Amendment to protect you… but American comics can still lose everything. They lose everything just because some joke has set off social media right now, so the First Amendment isn't really protecting comics at all in America right now.
I think most people now get that it's a mob that is always outraged by everything. When I saw the Kevin Hart thing, I didn't even think what did Kevin Hart say? I was just like okay…. these fucking people again. But the good thing is… the people that like comedy see that it is all fake outrage.
The Interrobang: Do you still see the continuing support of the comedy community?
Mike Ward: Yeah, I have gotten a lot of love… and a lot of support. Most surprisingly from people that I knew of, but I didn't think knew me… which was weird. Even though it seems like free speech has become almost a right-wing thing in the last couple years, I have also gotten a lot of support from people on the left. This summer at Just for Laughs, a friend said "Hey Jim Carrey was talking to me about you." I was like Jim Carrey knows who I am? There was something very weird and touching about that. You know there's this great comic I've never met, but who was supporting me from afar… I was touched by that.
The Interrobang: You're also with Compound Media doing the "two drink minimum" podcast. What has your tenure been like over there so far?
Mike Ward: It's been really good. When we started doing the show that Artie Lange was still with Anthony. Just before Dave Landau came in, we started doing Anthony's Friday spot. We do it from here in Montreal, it's me and a comic named Pantelis. The first time I met Pantelis I remember thinking, fuck, he has a very New York City sense of humor. I thought if I ever do anything on radio or any type of podcast, I want this guy to be a part of it. When I received an offer from compound media to do a show… I didn't want to go down to New York, because I like living here in Montreal. I needed someone in Montreal to do this with and right away thought of Pantelis.
The show has been fun; the Cumia fans have been really supportive. That's the thing about Anthony; he's sort of loaning out his fans to other people. Plus, the thing I really like about Compound Media is that our podcast… while offensive… it's not crazy offensive. It's not a very political show; most of the shows on Compound Media are kind of political. Our show is more just about comedy… just hanging and laughs. I was worried at first, because when Anthony's fans don't like something they are very vocal, but we started to get some great feedback.
Everyone that I talk to just seems super happy about us being on the platform. I think any controversy was just perceived and not real. I think Anthony's getting way less backlash than he was. He just did a bunch of LA podcasts and people really liked him… all the comments were great. People really like him, because he's just insanely funny. No one is better at Radio than Anthony Cumia.
The Interrobang: Considering everything you have been through in your case with the Canadian Government, is there any positive way to spin your situation for the future?
Mike Ward: There is one thing that I would like to get out… because I feel like if I put it out there I will concentrate on actually getting it done. Hopefully, if we talk about it here it'll open up the conversation and I can start talking about in real life. I want to start a fund for Comics or entertainers that get sued for performing their art.
I was lucky when I got sued that I had a bit of money, so I was able to defend myself. Most comics don't have any money to defend themselves. I would like to start a fund for the next person or people that are going to get in trouble because of a joke, and would like to get it started in 2019. I want it to be a global thing, so if a comic from Seattle or if a comic from South Africa gets sued I would like there to be some money to help them. This way, they can defend themselves, and they won't have to apologize for a joke that they shouldn't apologize for. They also don't have to go bankrupt trying to defend themselves. I've been saying that I want to start this fund for the past year-and-a-half; the only problem is that if it's not out in the public eye, I start to forget about it. People will ask if I have started it yet, and I am like damn not yet. So let this be the announcement, let's start this thing to help give our fellow comics some support to freely perform without worry.
Mike Ward's first English language special "Infamous" is available on Amazon Prime. Mike's podcast "2 Drink Minimum" is available on Compound Media.

Chinese and American tourists spend the most on their holidays in Portugal
In Portugal, the tourists which have more money to spend during their holidays in the country are the Chinese and the North-Americans, according to the secretary of state for Tourism.
Chinese and North-American tourists are among those spending more on their holidays in Portugal, the state secretary for Tourism, Ana Mendes Godinho, stated in a world tourism event held in Macau, this Tuesday.
"These tourists [the Chinese] spend a lot, they spend as much as the North Americans," said Ana Mendes Godinho, at the Global Tourism Economy Forum in Macao, which started off this Tuesday and ends this Wednesday.
In 2017, the tourist revenue coming from China increased by 80%, in comparison to the previous year, reaching €130m, the secretary of State noted. "Wine tourism is something that the Chinese market really appreciates", she added, defending that tourism should be diversified in the country in terms of offers, promoting tourism in the whole state and during the whole year.
"Macao is the entry point to China, and Portugal should be the entry point to Europe", making a statement that it is the perfect place to "visit, invest and study", she concluded.
The declarations from the secretary of State were made at the Global Tourism Economy Forum, held in Macao, an event which "engages public and private sector stakeholders from around the world in high-level exchanges on timely and thought-provoking subjects".

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV).
That is the verse that I cling to on a daily basis. Make no mistake, I am a work in progress. There are days where I don't feel like a new creation, the days where I'm not feeling especially friendly towards others. Sometimes I don't want to extend grace to my clients because I'm frustrated with problems that I feel are no big deal, but are very big problems to them. There are days I yell at my kids because I'm short on patience and I forgot to ask God for His peace. I also have moments where I become upset at my husband because I expect him to read my mind, not realizing that while most of the time we are in tune with each others thoughts and feelings, that is not always the case. I have so many examples that I should be ashamed, but God continues to extend His grace to me when I don't deserve it.
Just a few days ago, Kevin (my husband) and I were talking and he said something along the line of "Just because we are new creations does not mean that all of our thoughts are righteous thoughts, that's why we have to continually take our thoughts captive". Our conversation continued from there, but I knew that I wanted to write out my thoughts on that for this blog. I know that Kevin's statement would have made a world of difference to me when I was newly saved, and it is still a good reminder for me. God does not expect us to no longer make mistakes, He does want us to repent and take the necessary steps to not repeat the same mistakes. Eventually we should get to the level of Christian maturity that we auto-correct our thoughts before they become our actions.
Let's take this conversation to scripture. Becoming a new creation is not just a one-time event, it is a daily task. In Luke 9:23 (NIV) Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Every single day of your life you must deny your flesh and your will and choose to follow Jesus and strive to do the perfect will of your Father. Once you become born-again, the enemy's attacks become more targeted and more frequent. Just know that these attacks are intended to make you feel unworthy of your calling in Christ Jesus. Jesus was tempted by Satan and gives the disciples wisdom on how to overcome temptation from the enemy. In Matthew 26:41 (NIV) Jesus says, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak".If Jesus was tempted by Satan, know that we will be tempted as well. If Jesus had to pray to not succumb to temptation, you better believe that we do too!
Satan is not your only problem as a Christian, your flesh is problematic as well. Galatians 5:17 (NIV) says, "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want." Galatians 5:19-21 goes on to name some of the things we battle within the flesh such as, sexual immorality, impurity, idolatry, hatred, discord, jealousy, selfishness, and drunkenness to name a few. Just because we received the Holy Spirit when we were saved and became new creations does not mean that the flesh dissolved, in fact, it's just as sinful as ever. But we have to be on guard and practice denying ourselves and accepting the Holy Spirit's lead on all matters in our lives. The more we do that, the more disciplined we will become and the closer we get to being a true disciple. James 1:2-4 (NASB) states, "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
So what can us Christians do daily to achieve our goal of denying the flesh and letting the Spirit lead? Well, I'm glad you asked! First, we need to realize thatwe have the mind of Christ, according to 1 Corinthians 2:16. Since we have the mind of Christ we can combat any attack that comes our way, whether the attack is from Satan or our flesh. Having the mind of Christ means that we can resist temptation, we can say no to sexual immorality, jealously, hate, judging others, and selfishness to live righteously. We have to renew our minds as it says in Romans 12:2 (NIV), "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." When situations arise that can easily lead us into an ungodly place, renew your mind that immediately. You have to be quicker than the flesh, that is why I always say stay on guard. Most bad decisions happen in a split second. That bad decision can be as simple as speaking negatively about another or lying to someone to stay out of trouble.
Being a Christian is not for that faint of heart, but the benefits of righteous living far outweigh anything that I had before I was saved. The joy alone is worth the journey. Knowing that I am living for God allows me to put away my selfish desires and do what I enjoy most, which is helping and empowering others. And having God work everything together for my good gives me a peace that truly helps to eliminate worries and fears. Add that to the fact that I'm going to Heaven, there is no greater goal that I have than being with my Father one day. Those are just some of the benefits that are impactful to me, you have to figure out what the benefits are to you. When you know how being a Christian is beneficial to you, then you can hold on to those benefits when times are hard and when things are falling apart but you don't understand why.
I know that we have already looked at a lot of scripture today, but I want to leave you with two more to meditate on, in addition to the ones mentioned earlier, that you can recall when the enemy is attacking you or when your flesh and the Spirit has a battle.
Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV: "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

My 12 year old son asked me to make gifts for a new baby in his world. He is such a thoughtful guy, and it gave me an excuse to try a few "pins" I've been admiring lately.
Although I love the idea of quilting, I've never completed an entire quilt. So each time I saw that chevron quilt pin, I tried to figure out a miniature version. The pillow solved my time-crunch dilemma!! I based my design on this tutorial.
The pink bandanna print I used as a ruffle on the pillow, is also featured in this organizer meant to store baby items in the car.
I had seen several of these on Pinterest, but decided that a tapered, apron-style top would hang nicer around a headrest. It's approximately 12 inches wide, with three deep pockets–perfect for holding books, pacifiers, a cuddly toy, extra diapers and wipes, and those baby items that end up on the floor after a quick car trip.

In a Montreal apartment, Bill Anhang is working on his latest creation of tiny lights flickering on images, casting light on bizarre portraits and fantastic machines. He believes he has seen the Gods, and his Jewish and Buddhist pals believe he truly is the spreader and giver of light; he works to "bring new light to mankind." At age 85, he has been invited to New York for his first-ever exhibition, at the prestigious American Folk Art Museum in Manhattan.
Most of all, Bill wants to connect to people through his art. But he is more fantastic than the pieces he creates. His son is a wonder. (Screened at FIFA)


text: At the end of 2018, Ealing Voice and CEPAC (Campaign for a Performance and Arts Centre in Ealing) submitted bids to the Council to use part or all of the Town Hall for community arts-related activities as an alternative to the sale of the building to Mastcraft for redevelopment into a hotel. These proposals were rejected by councillors at a Council meeting on 15 January but the Council's plan to sell the building cannot proceed until the Charity Commission has given an opinion on whether it can include in the sale the Victoria and Princes Halls which were built by public subscription and are owned by a separate charitable trust. In the meantime, a planning application by Mastcraft for the hotel conversion has been published for consultation. The deadline for comments is nominally the end of February but this is likely to be extended because of the issues referred to above. [Left: picture of latest planning application.]

Over the past couple of years, colleges in Lengthy Island have been placing fewer students in Particular Training courses. The Board has grown from a group of 309 colleges in 1962 to 5119 schools as on 25.9.ninety eight, which include 784 kendriya Vidyalayas, 1381 Government Schools, 2486 Independent Schools, 355 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and thirteen Adhoc Colleges. Non-traditional faculty funding is predicated on enrollment additionally, but they're assigned a certain variety of college students and all working costs are lined.
School Academics are encouraged to hitch membership clubs and office supply incentive programs. On the face of it, mainstreaming particular wants students attending schools in Lengthy Island into a daily classroom as a lot as doable is smart. Instead, public dollars would fund public faculties designed to perform a public want: the true schooling of America's least-privileged children.
Various medical faculties or institutes provide postgraduate diploma program in medication. On account of the reconstruction, the Delhi Board of Secondary Education was merged with the Central Board and all the tutorial institutions recognised by the Delhi Board additionally grew to become a part of the Central Board.
The packages ranged from elaborate and energetic interplay with selected Public Schools to nothing in any respect. The entire present is controlled by state and native administrators and the worker unions in order to profit themselves, not the general public or the kids.
These are initiated and paid for by parents, to help decide their child's incapacity or instructional needs. The history of Masonry's support of Public Schools did not finish there. The primary board of faculty education in India was UP Board of High Faculty and Intermediate Training which was set up method again in 1921.

My husband tells the story about when he was a very young boy and he and his brother were both living with their mom and dad.
It was dark, and dusty shadows fluttered across the room as the boys lay in their bed. In the next room, mom and dad were arguing. Perhaps Mom was nagging and fussing would be a better term. Dad told her to please be quiet and get some sleep. Mom was known as a chatter box and keeping quiet was not her style, so she continued on and on... Yak Yakity Yak.

Dad gave a final warning, be quiet or else, but the warning went unheeded. All this time both boys lay trembling in their beds, waiting for the next shoe to drop. It was not a shoe, for dad had a gun under his pillow (why I don't know) and suddenly there was a LOUD BANG.
Abruptly all was quiet – not a sound anywhere. Both boys held their breath until at last they were forced to release all the air and try to breathe normal again. They dared not move or get out of bed to see what they could see.
It took a long while before the boys eventually drifted off to a restless sleep.
The next morning, there was mom smiling and frying bacon and eggs while dad sipped his coffee as he read the news-paper.
Fast forward many years later, Fact: my husband stops breathing in his sleep. He subconsciously holds his breath until he gasps and comes up for air, which usually wakes him up.
Science has termed this "Sleep Apnea," and documents that this is wide spread.
Doctors have all kinds of reasons as to why this happens, and they are probably right, but I have always wondered if it had anything to do with the frightened reflex of that night during childhood.
My husband says he has forgiven his long deceased dad for scaring the living daylights out of him, but the panic attacks still continue to come on at times.
A few years ago, my husband and I went to a class at our HMO about getting some relief from his panic attacks. The doctor asked the class how they breathed. He instructed to place your hand under your rib cage and breathe normally. For most their hand did not move. All but one said they took shallow breaths.
As a guest to the class, I was the only one who breathed from my diaphragm. (Pat on back) A teacher in grade school taught us to breathe that way, and maybe that is why I do it.
Taking deep breaths on purpose can relieve stress. I must remember to do this too, as things do pile up even when you are "retired."
I am reminded that God breathed the breath of life into Adam.
May you and I be God breathed when stress comes our way and we panic at the anxiety and pressures of life.
Take a big deep breath now – It will do you good!!
Don't worry or be anxious about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6

"Beyond lies a new valley, a valley you have never seen." I was not born when R.M. Patterson wrote this, but he could have written this for me. My family and I moved to Cochrane in 2003 to be closer to the mountains, and ever since I have been exploring high ridges and looking into hidden basins, trying to lay my eyes on new country.
If that country would not hold sheep and other wildlife, it would still be beautiful, but it would not be the same. If we went out and never saw a ram or mountain goat in the cliffs, never got the adrenaline rush of finding a grizzly in the binoculars, never heard an elk bugle, would we still go?
The future of our sheep and with it the future of sheep hunting is under pressure. Pressure by habitat degradation, disease, industrial development, and an increasing number of people in the mountains. Through my membership of the WSFA board I hope to contribute to a future where we maintain a healthy population of wild sheep in Alberta, and have the continued opportunity to hunt for that ram of a lifetime.
Born and Raised in Northern Alberta I have been an avid outdoorsman and trapper my entire life. I currently reside in Red Deer with my wife and 2 children, where I work for the city as a paramedic and firefighter. I have chased wild sheep for over 2 decades and It is my goal to preserve our wild sheep and hunting opportunities for generations to come.
My name is Brandon Darling and I grew up around and now live east of Calgary with my wife and young son. I own my own painting company in and around Calgary. I have been lucky to have the opportunity to spend lots of amazing days in the mountains with great friends, making memories and I want to be a contributor towards future generations having the same opportunities as I have had and continue to have. I have been a member of WSFAB for five years and a life member for three. I sheep hunt not only for the opportunity to harvest another ram but to see over the next mountain.
As an avid sheep hunter/outfitter with a passion for the outdoors, conservation, stewardships of our lands, that has been a Director on the board since March 2011. I am 47 years old and reside with my wife and two youngest kids in Cochrane on our family farm. Being involved in our family Sheep outfitting business since a young age has giving me the drive and passion to make sure we have our monarch of the mountains for all sportsman to enjoy now and in the future. I am still looking for my first and only Bighorn.
I am currently in my 2nd year on the WSFA board as President. Previous to this role, I spent a number of years on the board in BC, and wild sheep have been a passion of mine since I was a kid. Hunting and generally all outdoor activities have been something I have enjoyed all my life because of an active outdoor lifestyle taught to me by both my parents.
Brian moved to Grande Prairie from the NWT in the 80's. With a back country lodge on the Sheep Creek and a registered trapline inside Willmore Wilderness Park, Brian is in sheep country all year long. He's spent decades involved with "consumptive conservation" groups like the ACA and looks forward to giving back to the resource through service to WSFA.
I've been involved with Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta for the last 13 years and on the board for the last 7. I started the Corporate Sponsorship Program and with help from the sponsors and some Directors we have raised $125,000 in the last 6 years.
I also have been known to sell between 30-40 books of Hunt of a Lifetime raffle tickets each year for the last 13 years or so.
I have lined up a rifle or two ( free donations from my contact ) to be drawn at the youth camp each year.
Banquet time I line up around 10 items for the live auction from hunts/fishing trips to merchandise and look after the seating of 750 people and the Corporate Sponsors.
Sports Shows I work the booth in Calgary/Red Deer each year for 13 years.
Hobbies: Hunt all over Canada and Internationally with my best friend and hunting partner my wife Barb. We have been known to take new hunters to the field young and old to mentor them on how great our hunting heritage is.
Hunting and hard work have been instilled in me since a young boy. I own a Masonry company that I started at the age of 22. One of my first memory's is sitting atop a deer on the back of my grandpa's trike as him and my dad hauled out of the bush. I've been lucky enough to harvest some great animals however my two bighorn sheep are my favorite. There is something special about being in the places sheep roam that soothes the soul. After becoming a member of wild sheep foundation Alberta I look at sheep from more of a conservation prospective then just a hunter and have understood the importance in harvesting older mature rams.
My name is Brian Scott and I have lived my whole life in Rocky Mountain house. I run a mixed farming operation with my wife and my parents. I am also a guide and outfitter and have guided bighorns in the past. As a past board member and treasurer I look forward to once again serving on the WSFA board with the other hard working crew.
Ryan Powell grew up in southern Alberta and now resides west of Olds with his wife Lisa and three daughters Mariah, Isabella and Aaliyah.

Larger-than-life papier-mâché lipstick tubes, couches and chairs, food items, and massive award ribbons adorn the main gallery space at the Creative Alliance, showcasing more than a decade of work by Alice Gadzinski, who had a studio there until her untimely passing in the spring of 2018 at age 30.
While undergoing cancer treatment throughout the past year, she was just as prolific as ever—experimenting with new sculptures and found-object assemblages, and conducting classes at the Maryland Institute College of Art (her alma mater) and the American Visionary Art Museum. She was also a resident artist at Montgomery College, where she gave talks and exhibited her collaborative installation "Supermarket."
In the days leading up to the December 7 opening of Haute Glue (a play on words and nod to Gadzinki's love of using a hot glue gun to craft her work), friends and family gathered at the Creative Alliance to help install the work—and, in some cases, repair it, as papier-mâché is not the most durable material.
Though Gadzinski was from Michigan originally, one look at her artwork would lead you to think she'd been Baltimore born and bred. It's no wonder she found her artistic home here when she relocated to the city to study at MICA and eventually earn her MFA at its Rinehart School of Sculpture.
It's sparkly, eccentric pop art; it's fun; it's an explosion of bright colors combined with oddball vintage thrift-shop finds—think Paper Moon Cafe meets AVAM gift shop (where Gadzinski once worked) meets HonFest. Her body of work epitomizes Baltimore kitsch. As Creative Alliance executive director Gina Caruso puts it: "Alice loved the beauty of artifice."
While still in Michigan, working toward her BFA in photography at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, she created a series of self-portraits, which she self-colored. It's not immediately obvious that the photographs are of her. She disguised herself in each one to reveal various fictional characters. In one, she wears a skintight leopard-print dress. In others, she appears more masculine. In each, a different expression, a new outfit, once even a different nose.
The character's story is often narrated by what Gadzinski chose to include in each frame. She focused on photography and 2-D work as an undergrad, but in retrospect, her natural progression toward sculpture is obvious. In this self-portrait series, which will be shown in Haute Glue, she began incorporating sculptural components into the pieces—a Marlboro cigarette butt that dangles beneath one of the framed photos; a floral arrangement encircles another; plastic figurines, flowers, and candles have been hot-glued on as embellishments.
After moving away from a focus on photography, some of her first sculptural pieces were found-object assemblages, often glued together to create funky little shrines (one adorns the top of a pink and yellow toilet) made of plastic and porcelain figurines and dolls, vintage jewelry, faux flowers, and other decorative odds and ends, often found at thrift shops. One such shrine is devoted to John Waters, whose photo is at its center, which seems like a fitting persona for Gadzinski's own aesthetic and ideals—to elevate what society deems as ugly, trashy, or junk into something artful and whimsical, revealing its beauty.
Creative Alliance staff who knew her well explain that she loved to show how we glamorize life, using ordinary objects—such as lipstick or a box of chocolates—to show how we covet them and treat them as holy relics.
When Gadzinski began her artist residency at the Creative Alliance in 2016, her studio became an extension of her colorful creations. "She just experimented with absolutely everything," says Heather Keating, marketing and communications director at Creative Alliance. "Any time we needed something random, we'd go to Alice." She'd often wear bright turquoise headphones as she worked, surrounded by paints and glitters and tables of collected objects.
"Alice, like her work, was truly magical," says Brittney Huff, the annual giving manager at Creative Alliance, who became close friends with Gadzinski. "Her studio was like walking into another world, like walking into a Wonka-esque chocolate factory—just with Barbie shoes and massive cardboard candy boxes. Each corner was packed with thrift-store finds, piles of collected ephemera, and works in progress. Her studio was an ever-changing installation in itself, a home that was explicitly Alice."
As a resident artist, Gadzinski was involved in all aspects of the Creative Alliance. She taught workshops, gave artwork to promote events, and participated in and attended many of the programs there. And she was always supportive of her colleagues and other resident artists.
"Alice was very present when you spent time with her, and she was a thoughtful listener," says Caruso. "When she was going through her first round of treatment, she smiled bravely through her pain but was also honest about her experience. She wanted others to learn from her experience and never indulged in self-pity. I admired her bravery, her ability to smile, to be compassionate, even when she was dying. While this exhibition is so joyful and affirming, it's also heartbreaking for us, because it's a memorial for someone so young and full of life."
Haute Glue is laid out in such a way as to include a few nooks to showcase small installation pieces, such as the aforementioned "Supermarket" and another called "Pure Joy Every Day" with a couch at its center, resembling a living room, designed by Cole Chickering and George Wylesol. The main gallery exhibit in December was originally planned as a three-person show featuring work by the two artists and Gadzinski. With the change of plans, Chickering and Wylesol created the installation to honor Gadzinski and her style, and they will hold a two-person show in a gallery on the second floor.
The exhibit will also feature photographs, many of which show pieces that didn't survive, says Gadzinski's sister, Emily, who has been helping with the show and provided a carload of Gadzinski's older work from Michigan.
"She would take photos of everything—even things she didn't like. A lot of the work is broken, so a lot of getting this show ready has been repairing stuff. This piece is held up by a shoelace," she says, pointing to a piece on a nearby wall. "Alice was just so concerned with the making of the art itself, she'd just work and move on to the next….We're trying to exhibit her work at other places; that's my goal—to just keep it going forever. It's been really sad, but I think she'd want it this way."
James Cole, busy installing a smaller version of "Supermarket" for Haute Glue, says he felt like a fish out of water when he came from D.C. to Baltimore to study sculpture at MICA, where he met Gadzinski, who was a year ahead of him in the program. She was the first person to invite him to come hang out with a few friends at Clavel, and he became close friends with her from there on out.
"She was kind of a matriarchal figure in the program," Cole recalls. "She kind of had this ability to make you feel okay. Sometimes I wouldn't want to go to the studio, but I knew she was there, so I'd go. And when I showed up, she was always there, and when I left, she was still there. I never knew when she slept."
He recounts times when she went the extra mile to see if he was okay and give him confidence about his work, and the times they'd check out thrift stores together with her fiancé, Mike Benevenia, also an artist.
"She'd find this kitschy, knick-knack stuff, and she'd make it tasteful—and fragile and ephemeral and beautiful," Cole says. "I think it was a reflection of who she was."
"She was a friend, and I miss her terribly. We all do," says Caruso. "But she wouldn't want us to be sad—and sometimes when I walk into the exhibition space, it's as if she's here with us, smiling."

Over the past few weeks, while reading the news, blogs and my social media feeds, I have felt as if I have been on an emotional and intellectual roller coaster. It's all so much to process. From the deadly and devastating shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, to the Brexit vote and the global market response, to the bombing at Ataturk Airport in Isanbul, it seems that every few days there is something new that threatens to alter the very core of our understanding of what it means to be a citizen of the world. I have cried. I have yelled. I have given tzedakah. I have signed petitions – and I have also caught myself disengaging, distancing, and distracting.
I share with you this experience, my experience, because I do not think that I am alone. In these moments there is the danger that we can become numb, that we can stop feeling the pain, the sadness, the confusion, the anger, all of the many emotions, and disengage. But, as we do so, we disengage as well from the mechanisms we have at our disposal to process these events and allow them to move us to action, to empathy, and to reaching out in solidarity, partnership and support.
So, where do we go from here? How do we find the balance between burning out and becoming numb? This answer may well be different for each of us. Go running, read a novel, spend time playing with a child or grandchild, go for a walk in the Wissahickon, come to service on Shabbat or to Morning minyan, write poetry or prose – search for something that feeds and restores your neshama (soul), and once you do, harness its power to keep you in balance so that together, we can work to make this world and this planet a place that we can be proud to call home.

Call for papers
The Italian Society of Public Economics announces its XXIX Annual Conference, to be held in Catania, Italy, September 21st and 22nd, 2017 on the topic:
Public Economics and Behavioural Economics
For most of the twentieth century, positive and normative analyses of the public economic sector have developed starting from simple assumptions about individual behaviour.
Following neoclassical economics, agents have been assumed with stable preferences, selfish enough to satisfy the hypothesis that private resources are used to promote self-interest, that people are endowed with adequate computational skills or at least are able to revise mistakes in decision making through learning and market discipline, and that make expectations which are correct at least in the long run.
This view of a fully rational homo oeconomicus has been increasingly criticised in the last decades by the field of behavioral economics, which lays at the border between economics and psychology and conducts studies that have identified, and in some cases rediscovered, contradictions to classical theory. Many empirical analyses, experimental and from the field, sometimes conducted with other disciplines as in the areas of neuroeconomics and physioeconomics, have shown how easily individuals commit mistakes that are not self-corrected; have indicated that feelings and psychological emotions play a crucial role in determining people economic decisions which don't respond only to purely selfish motivations; have shown that psychological and moral sentiments affect people preferences and welfare, in some cases even their happiness; have challenged the traditional theory of revealed preferences as a basis for welfare analysis.
In addition to criticism, the work on the foundations of economic behaviour has led to more constructive research, including specifically in public economics. The variety of behaviours of individual and groups highlighted by behavioral economics has opened new challenges in the study of the role of the pubic sector in the economy, requiring renewed efforts by economics and other social scientists to understand the motivations and justifications of public intervention, to sharpen the instruments that the public sector can use, and the effects of its decisions.
A list of topics for the Conference is the following:
1 Public goods, externalities and pro-social behaviour
2 Welfare economics without revealed preferences
3 Taxation and behavioral economics
4 Neo-utilitarianism and happiness research: measures and implications for public intervention
5 Social preferences, moral behaviour and theories of inequality and poverty
6 Myopia, addiction and impatience
7 Asymmetric paternalism, nudging and new policy instruments
8 Public choice and political economy with non-standard economic agents
9 The evaluation of public policies and behavioral economics
10 How neuroeconomics and physiological economics can inform public sector economics
11 Behavioral public economics in the history of economic thoughts
The keynote speakers will be Valentino Dardanoni, University of Palermo, Italy and Arthur Schram, Amsterdam School of Economics.
