text: War and Children: A Reference Handbook By Kendra E. Dupuy, Krijn Peters No cover image War and Children: A Reference Handbook By Kendra E. Dupuy, Krijn Peters Read preview Synopsis They are perhaps war's most tragic victims—children caught in the crossfire of conflicts around the world. The casualties are heartbreaking. Add to them nearly 36 million children not in school because fighting has made it impossible. And then there are those who are actually doing the fighting—the nearly 250,000 boys and girls worldwide who themselves are active soldiers. A comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of how children and young people are affected by and respond to situations of armed conflict and postwar reconstruction. War and Children: A Reference Handbook looks at one of the most wrenching aspects of armed conflict, ranging across the globe to examine the different ways armed conflict and postwar reconstructions affect children and young people, and how they have responded to both war and efforts to alleviate war's destruction. While war has always affected children, the nature of that impact has changed in the last half-century. Civil conflicts break out in mostly poor, developing countries with large populations of young people, and combatants are less hesitant to turn civilian areas into battlegrounds. War and Children explores these phenomena by focusing primarily on recent conflicts worldwide, with case studies dramatizing important issues and controversies—including the considerable number of children soldiers throughout the world. Excerpt The nature of warfare and the tactics used by various armed groups have changed tremendously since the end of the Cold War. In particular, intrastate or civil conflicts seem to be much more intensive and their high levels of violence cause incredible damage. The availability of small arms or the plundering of natural resources in certain conflicts prolong and intensify the violence which is often deliberately directed to the most vulnerable members of societies: young people and women.One of the relatively new dimensions of such conflicts has been the unprecedented use of large groups of children and young people as combatants. This appalling phenomenon changes the nature of societies, communities, and cultures during and after a conflict—probably for decades to come. There are myriad facets to look at in order to understand the impact of the use of children and youth in war.When war breaks out it brings about chaos, physical destruction of places, separation of families, and psychological exposure to horrors that will scar the memory of people, communities, and societies forever. Armed violence often undermines societal and community norms. Ethical and moral standards and traditions are shattered and all that is left is the uncertainty of whether things will ever change for the better. Added to this already dramatic situation is the loss of belief in the very innocence of children and youth, as they are forced to bring horrors to their own communities.As a young boy affected by the civil war in my country, Sierra Leone, fighting in the conflict and undergoing rehabilitation and reintegration, I experienced the above scenario myself. The attitudes and perceptions of the population toward children and young people—particularly those who participated in the war—have changed forever. A place where once your innocence as a child was celebrated quickly became a place where children were treated with suspicion and sometimes even fear. Rehabilitation was a difficult and long-term process. I and other ex-child soldiers in the rehabilitation program had to learn how to reconnect with our childhood and humanity again by facing our traumas. We . . .

British people 'having less sex' than previously
British people are having less sex now than in recent years, according to a large national survey. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, suggest nearly a third of men and women have not had sex in the past month.

Inkatha Freedom Party's (IFP) chairman in Gauteng, Bonginkosi Dlamini, said last week that there was a "big possibility" that power will shift in the City of Johannesburg. The IFP is a partner in the Democratic Alliance-led (DA) city council, although it is not a signatory of the formal coalition agreement.
Dlamini described the relationship as "unhealthy and unhappy" and said there were discussions in the IFP over whether it should continue.
The firing of the IFP's member of the mayoral council for housing in 2018 started the rot.
Dlamini cites the "behind-the-scenes control" by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) over Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba as another deep concern.
This concern key to the resignation of DA councillor Werner Smit in April, which will result in a key by-election in Ward 109 (northeast Johannesburg, abutting Sandton and Alexandra) on 24 July.
The African National Congress (ANC) hopes the Ward 109 by-election, together with three others to take place in July, coupled with potential support from the IFP, will help to shift power in Johannesburg.
The ANC's leader in Johannesburg, Geoff Makhubo, said the ANC was set to contest two of the four by-elections in the hope of a win, but it would have to work hard because these are largely DA strongholds.
Outgoing DA federal chairperson James Selfe said that there is a possibility that the DA could lose one of the four by-elections.

One of the most important concepts to master in my precalculus course is the ability to easily translate between equations and graphs. The students must be able to see an equation, understand the basic shape of the graph of that equation and finally use transformations of the plane to visualize where the graph will be located in the plane, whether it is stretched out or squashed in and whether it is a reflection of another graph that they know. This is a lot to ask and is often difficult for students to grasp abstractly. When I began to think about how to help the students internalize these concepts, I realized that the topic naturally lends itself to a project in which the students are experimenting with graphs and technology in order to get instant feedback.
I wanted the students to create something. There is no greater challenge than to create something new. It would be easy enough to ask the students how the transformations would move the graph of an equation around. It is very difficult to determine exactly which transformation to use to make a graph move to the exact position and shape that you want it to. I conceived of the idea for the students to make a drawing by using only graphs by using an online graphing tool.
After an open invitation to the faculty from the art department, I began to think about how the precalculus project could be intertwined with the art department and I set up a meeting with Holly Hooper. I gave Holly the context for my project; showing her the parent functions and the transformations that my students would be working with. She immediately saw how these images resembled the cubist movement. She told me about the cubist movement and showed me student work that had been inspired by it. Slowly we cooked up an idea.
My students would come in to the art building, study student work and identify the parent functions in the existing art. Then, they would go off on their own to create their own pieces of art, inspired by their peers and inspired by cubism. They would submit their art, along with all the functions they used to create it, and a brief essay describing the math behind their work. These pieces would then be submitted to Holly's students who would choose their favorites and render beautiful paintings-inspired by color theory. Math students and art students would collaborate during this stage to create something magnificent.
The learning objectives of the project are for the students to understand the graphs of the parent functions (the building blocks of more complicated functions) and for the students to be able to use transformations to "tweak" the graphs of the parent functions.
The technology that I chose to employ is an online graphing tool. It is ideal because the students can immediately see how changing the equation for a function transforms the graph-thereby reinforcing the concepts of transformations and instant feedback.
The students had a week to work on these projects providing ample time to work at their own pace. Each project was unique and varied in complexity. More advanced students pushed themselves by using sophisticated transformations and more complicated functions. Struggling students used more basic functions and only used one transformation at a time. It was amazing to see how quickly they learned how to manipulate the graphs and many students surprised me with the complexity of their work.
In the final essays, one student explained: "I liked this project because it gave me a deeper understanding of the subject. It was also fun to play around with the formulas and manipulate it….the project was really fun to do because we got to choose our own drawing and go at our own level and pace." Dioulde Diallo.

Say what and why you like about him.
I like him because of his skills. His 'Hawk's eye' make him superior to Izuki from Seirin. And generally he's a funny and cool guy. Also his friendship with a tsundere like Shin-chan, make him more cool and reliable. :]

Artist Jared Betts visits artist Claude Roussel
Photos and story by Jared Betts
It was a cold November blue sky day that I set off to Barachois to do a studio visit with Claude Roussel.
Before I talk about my day, I'll give some back story. Paul Edouard Bourque curated a show by Claude called 2014 - EROS ET TRANSFIGURATION, which travelled to Galerie Bernard Jean, Caraquet, Galerie Colline, Edmundston and then to The New Brunswick Museum in Saint John, all New Brunswick galleries. He then curated a show for Romeo Savoie last year, who lives close to Claude. Paul asked if I could drive him out to Barachois to visit both Claude and Romeo and act as a sort of assistant curator. So we did. When we walked in the door, Claude and his wife Raymonde greeted us and he said "Welcome, I'm going to show you what being in the arts scene for 50 years is like!" Right off the bat I was super excited to learn. Paul and Claude had business to discuss, so I knew that I needed to go back on my own for a longer visit to get to know Claude. I wanted to go visit him, but as I was busy finishing up a lot of stuff including a mural in Dieppe at École le Marais Antonine-Maillet and doing work for Images Remanentes, Claude and I had several phone conversations and emails. A visit was set for November.
I knew I wanted to go early and stop at the beach as once the cold weather hits most of us in Moncton don't think to go out to the beach. I stopped at Sandy Beach Trailer park and it was so cold but beautiful. There was a huge sheet of ice covering all of the pavement and fields.
Interesting to see a place that's usually a summer spot in November when no one is there. I find the beach really peaceful and sublime in the late fall/winter. After being there for 20 minutes I was super cold and decided it was time to get to Claude's house. When I pulled into his driveway there were many birds flying around to all his bird feeders and a few Blue Jays which are one of my favorite birds. As he welcomed me in he commented on my jacket which was my grandmother's vintage lavender parka with an Inuit embroidery on the sleeve. Right away I was struck by the entry of his house, which has sky light, windows and light that shines beautifully onto his sculptures and paintings. We went to one of the windows and he told me how he used to have a summer home closer to the water but then he built this current house 20 years ago and rented the summer house out. He talked about a sculpture in his yard that was called Lightning Bolt and it was dark and shaped a little like a lightning bolt. He mentioned there is a Herons nest in one of the trees but they migrated south for the winter. We stayed in his living room for a bit and I asked him about the Mountains Series, as seen in the photo below.
(Right before his wife took this photo he put my arm up in the air and said "He's doing great in art!")
These three mountain works were done after he retired. He said he wanted to go see the mountains since he spent so much time working in the basement. So if I remember correctly, he travelled out west, to Hawaii and also southern United States and he documented his adventures seeing the mountains through paint. I really love the color palette he used in these paintings. There was also several really beautiful wood carvings in his entry way above the door. We next went over to a shelf with tons of maquettes for large sculptures and he told me about some that weren't approved. Most of his successful maquettes for sculptures are on display at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, NB. There was also a very cool old photo from a newspaper of him and Lord Beaverbrook. He kept stopping and saying "If you have any questions stop me, we are supposed to be talking about you too and giving advice." To which I replied it's all good I want to hear it all! One of the things he told me was this: "there's no secret route to follow in art to success but just trying different things and putting yourself out there."
After looking at the maquettes we went into a nice sunny room. He said he usually works in the garage and upstairs, really every room is his studio. I can relate because when I moved home from Montreal my parents house has 5 or 6 rooms filled with my art and a studio in the basement. In this room he was working on a really cool colorful series of paint on wood. I don't want to give away any secrets but it looked very interesting, the bright colors intrigued me. Before entering the room a cube piece really caught my eye with a plant on it and little cat water and food beside it on a mat. I kept thinking about that cool cube printing piece with astronauts on it. Sometimes I get shy about taking photos but at one point I jumped in and asked him if I could go take a picture of that cube piece? Of course he said yes. I love the colors and the decision of the repeated astronaut print, it was very different from all of his other works yet it had that same painterly, sculptural feel. I could have stared at that cube for hours! We chatted for a couple hours, about murals, about his time teaching, his time in Edmundston, the man has done it all!
Before I went to visit Claude I sent him images of the mixed media paintings using a butterfly that was silkscreened. I said how getting near the end of a painting it's hard to know, you have to make an impact with new gestures and lines. To which he said he was impressed by my association of figurative image and color compositions. It's good to make risks that are successful. In this case it added more flavor and intrigue to your shapes and color, but it's just as important to know when to stop the painting as well. As artists we can sometimes over work pieces at times, so ending a painting is a real art in itself! With that said I think I will end this piece with a quote Claude said to me as we were looking out his window at the birds. He said there is no such thing as art, only artists making art. Which is a quote by Ernst Gombrich, and it makes so much sense, we spend so much time trying to figure out what our art means, yet it's best just to get to work. I asked Claude if I could write about my visit after being asked by Marie Helene from Created Here to which he said:
"By all means, feel free to write about your visit. I also enjoyed very much your enthusiasm and openness to hear and see what I've been through in a half century, trying to evolve as an artist in NB."
My visits with Claude are always so memorable because he has so much wonderful experience that inspires my artistic journey.

This past weekend I headed to Atlantic City in New Jersey for a fun day trip. Atlantic City is a resort city on New Jersey's Atlantic coast that's known for its many casinos, wide beaches and iconic Boardwalk. It was established in the 1800s as a health resort but today it is full of glitzy high-rise hotels and nightclubs.
There are also tons of fun attractions to see in Atlantic City. While I was there they had this incredible 1967 Chevrolet Corvette on display. We also stopped by the famous Ripley's Believe It or Not! which is a museum with kitschy oddities on display, including shrunken human heads and rare animal skeleton.
We also had to stop by the New Jersey Korean War Memorial which is a memorial, like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial which is dedicated to those who served in the Korean War. It is a place to help heal the spiritual and psychological wounds suffered by Korean War Veterans, their families and friends. The memorial was created to ensure that future generations remember and honor the pride and dedication of those who served, the legacy they continued and the freedom they preserved.
Real Estate Market in Atlantic City
The Atlantic City market has not seen the same return in equity that most other markets across the country have. For example, homes purchased in the Atlantic City housing market one year ago have depreciated, on average, by $3,788. The national average increased by $14,170 over the same period.
The Atlantic City housing market is severely lacking in fundamentals. With an unemployment rate of 11.3%, those without a job in Atlantic City nearly double the national average. That said, job losses are a significant problem and will continue to weigh on demand. Nonetheless, layoffs are starting to decline, which could actually provide a glimmer of hope for buyer confidence.
While the Atlantic City housing market has seen better days, it does have one fundamental indicator working in its favor: affordability. In fact, the area's affordability is historically strong and improving. Atlantic City homeowners now spend about 10.7 percent of their income on monthly mortgage payments, compared to 15.1 perfect that is the national average. That said, the Atlantic City housing market is one of the most affordable markets in the country.
Lastly, I ended my day trip with a little gambling fun at the Ocean Resort Casino. I had such a fun day trip with my friends! If you are in the New York area and are looking for a fun day trip with your friends I highly recommend you take a trip to Atlantic City!

Joggin for the Noggin
This will be year number 3 for Joggin for the Noggin!
The Race for Hope DC raises funds to support innovative research initiatives and provide information for brain tumor patients and their families. This amazing event relies on the dedication and enthusiasm of individuals, families, teams, volunteers, sponsors and donors.
I am very passionate about this cause and this event holds a special place in my heart. I lost two grandparents to brain tumors (my mom's mom and my dad's dad). It was heartbreaking watching two of the most energetic, loving, and family oriented people suffer with brain tumors. With your help, I'd like to do all we can to help find a cure for this terrible disease. This will be our third year participating in the race. Each year we have more people join our team and we are always looking to grow! Please consider joining our team this year!

Erosion is a process in the natural world in which the earth's materials are worn off and transported away by natural forces such as wind or water. The physical properties of rocks and land are remodeled without changing their basic chemical composition. The rock becomes smooth and rounded, formed into new shapes. Wind and water work together to move particles of sand and stone, dirt and organic matter from one area to another, changing the landscape of both places. In nature, erosion creates visual wonders such as the rock formations in Arizona, sea stacks in Portugal and the spectacular cliffs of Moher in Ireland.
These visual wonders are the work of gradual everyday processes over time. Only rarely are such formations the result of large events such as earthquakes or erupting volcanos. When we consider the idea of growing in submission to God, we sometimes think only in terms of large, life changing events. Perhaps when we were first confronted with our deep need for God, or when we have a serious health issue, we see clearly that our only option is surrender. Those "Jesus take the wheel moments" force the realization that we are not in control and so we submit. These types of experiences are infrequent and not the usual realm where surrender is formed.
The reality is that surrender to God must be in the obscure quotidian moments throughout our lives. Just like the natural wonders formed through the gentle daily rhythms of nature, so we are formed by daily moments of yielding to the ways of the One we follow. This surrender can look like:
· Choosing kindness to our husband when he has left his clothes on the floor… again.
· Honoring our parent by faithfully visiting even when dementia has stolen them away from us.
· Being the first to offer an olive branch in a disagreement with a friend.
· Working diligently as unto the Lord, even though we dislike our boss.
· Sacrificing our desire for leisure to instead, read one more book to our child, or care for a hurting friend.
· Forgiving someone who has hurt or abandoned us, letting resentment go.
Submission to God often looks like yielding to the desires of others. It looks like opening my hands to release my rights to another in love. It is allowing my carefully crafted schedule to be reworked as needed allowing myself to be molded, remaining pliable, soft, and yielding. It is not being a doormat, or neglecting care of self, but it is being obedient to God who calls us to a life of giving oneself away in love.
The Holy Spirit is characterized in the Bible as both water and wind, the very elements that nature uses to wear down rocks, carve out new formations, and create new pathways for water to flow. Just as manmade structures such as dams and levees can be built to stop the effects of erosion, likewise we can build barriers to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Or we can, like those who have gone before, choose surrender. We can learn from Abraham, Esther, Mary and numerous others recorded in Scripture what a life of yielding to our Father in heaven can look like.
In the Passion of Jesus we see a powerful example of surrender in the way he set his feet toward Jerusalem, knowing all that it would mean, in submission to his Father. Secure in this relationship, Jesus was free to literally give His life away. His prayer in the garden, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will" expresses the very real struggle of accepting the plan of God, while becoming a pattern for the way we can approach those moments when God calls us to surrender to His blueprint for our lives.
Will we allow the Spirit of God full access to our rough edges so that He can gently chisel, polish and buff us into the beautiful creation He has designed us to be? Will we hand over the "stuff" in our hearts that is blocking His movement in our lives, instead allowing Him to shift and move and renovate so He can make us anew?
Some things that may be hindering the flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives:
· Pride – this tells us that we are in control of our lives, we know what is best for us
· Fear – perhaps we do not really trust that God is good, so we guard our hearts, fearful of what He might have in mind for us.
· Unwillingness to forgive –we are holding on to hurt and past grievances, unsure if God sees
· Impatience - we feel that God is being too slow in acting, so we take matters into our own hands.
Both humility - defined as recognizing the full extent of our neediness and dependence on God - and faith are required in order to surrender. We will only be able to give up control to One who we believe will be faithful and good. Think of a child standing on the edge of a swimming pool being encouraged by his father, whose arms are reaching out, to jump into the water. Because the child loves and trusts his father, he is able to leap and fall, trusting his dad to catch him. Many moments in our day are similar to this; I have to choose whether I will continue with my own way our risk falling into the arms of my Heavenly Father and His ways. My failure to yield to God often reveals the ways I doubt His goodness and His plans for me. When I think that I've got in all under control, then surrender is difficult. It's all of the minute-by-minute ways that I seek to build my own kingdom rather than choosing to live under the kingship of Jesus, that reveal if I am living a life of surrender.
Just like water has the power to carve out rock, our day-to-day life of yielding to Jesus has the ability to reform us. Those hard edges of ours are gradually being worn smooth, the walls are slowly being dismantled. He is chiseling away those sharp edges that trip us up and washing away the sediment that blocks our way forward. Slowly, each day we are being polished and buffed to reflect His character and beauty. As we surrender all to our Maker, He is remaking us into beautiful monuments to His grace.

Japan helps manufacture electric three-wheelers in Sri Lanka
The Ministry of Finance says that a partnership between Japan and Sri Lanka will manufacture of an electric three-wheeler.
The new unit is expected to help replace over one million fossil-fuel powered 'tuk-tuks',
Minister Mangala Samaraweera said there are several reasons for the shift from fossil fuel to the electric version of the tuk-tuk, and environmental concerns are one of those.
As part of the Paris agreement, Sri Lanka has pledged a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector by 2020.
The first batch of electric three wheelers being manufactured in Sri Lanka will be ready by mid-2020, in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Spending waste takes many forms, some more easily identified than others. Here are three common contributors to spending waste:
At its best, the sales and marketing efforts of an organization function like parts of a machine. This machine communicates with potential customers, identifies and filters leads, converts leads into customers, and strengthens those customer relationships over time. Like all machines, the sales and marketing machine is comprised of a series of interconnected systems functioning as one.
These interconnected systems are the machine's strength, but also its vulnerability. When a failure occurs within one system, it often disproportionately affects the functioning of the entire machine.
Imagine driving your car with a flat tire. A failure within one system has the effect of making your car un-drivable. Although a flat tire is a big problem, it has the advantage of being obvious.
The same is typically true within the sales and marketing machine, where big problems are obvious, and get dealt with quickly. Less obvious are the many small failures and inefficiencies that hide within the complex systems of the modern sales and marketing machine. When their cumulative impact is tallied, it becomes clear: small problems are the big problem.
A lens is a simple tool that enables focus and perspective. Over time, businesses develop "blind spots" in their sales and marketing efforts which allow waste to accumulate and flourish.
When a client engages our services, we typically begin by developing a clear understanding of the systems in place to support the sales and marketing machine. We believe systems are best deconstructed by exploring the processes in place, the tools being used, and the policies that ensure their consistent application.
Systems = Processes + Tools + Policies
For many organizations, documented processes and policies are associated with departments such as production, procurement, and human resources. Often the creative, people-focused sales and marketing functions operate with less formalized processes and less stringent policies. Yet in the absence of documented processes and policies, an organization may lack the basic transparency required to identify and eliminate waste within its systems.
Spending waste takes many forms, some more easily identified than others. Here are three common contributors to spending waste:
Simply put, working spend is the amount paid to reach an audience (media), and non-working spend is the amount paid to craft and package the message (creative). The relationship between these two types of spend must be balanced across tactics and campaigns. This relationship is often distorted because we tend to overvalue the importance of the "idea" and undervalue the importance of spreading it.
Agency and media price benchmarking and re-negotiations are very often an instant source of value. These industries are extremely competitive, and most suppliers adhere to the notion that it is cheaper to keep a customer (even with reduced margin), than to acquire a new one, so they are often open to requests for re-negotiation of rates. As the saying goes, "Ask and you shall receive".
Product margin metrics by unit, channel, and customer group, along with customer profitability metrics by unit, channel, and lifetime value, help build a framework within which all sales and marketing tactics must fit. To put it more simply, a regional auto service centre shouldn't run Super Bowl ads because they'd be paying for exposure that they couldn't possibly convert into sales. Real life examples are less obvious but extremely common. Disconnects between margin and tactics can usually be attributed to the denial of basic financial information to those with spending authority.
Many companies confuse measuring results with tracking performance; the difference is that the latter requires connecting an action to an objective.
Determining pass/fail parameters for large corporate objectives such as sales targets is commonplace. Yet it is the rare exception for a company to leverage this powerful tool to its full potential. By simply lowering the threshold for which actions and spending require objective-setting, decision makers are forced to think more critically about what they are doing and why.
A lever is a simple tool that amplifies an input force to produce a greater output force – it efficiently multiplies the effort of its user. We employ numerous tools to improve efficiency within the sales and marketing machine, but none more important than the two listed below:
One of the fundamental principles behind the Lenses and Levers Method is to optimize conditions for organic growth. The key components of organic growth, not to be confused with paid growth, are the generation of positive word-of-mouth, consistent referral business, and increased customer spend.
Because we can't predict which new sales tactics work best under which conditions, but can influence the efficiency with which we test those new tactics, our method uses a trial and error approach to test performance under real market conditions. Generally, we recommend all tactics satisfy the following three conditions:
If pass/fail conditions can be set, the next step is to define a set of parameters in which we can measure and assess a tactic's effectiveness and potential. The following are some common parameters:

New courses start first week of October, only 7 spaces availble, make sure you sign up before september 14.
group classes
My yoga classes are very much an outcome of following my intuition. I was trained in an alignment based slow vinyasa. Emphasis was on embodying our movements and being intelligent with how we work with the joints to create sustainability and awareness.
When it comes to sequencing and creating a theme for the class, my true creative style is best brought out by going with the flow and listening to the energies around me. I draw on what feels natural in the moment and then the class develops from there. Guiding you through a truly organic and heart felt class is important for you to feel free and safe to express your truest self.

Police Reform and Living Conditions of Displaced Are Concerns Highlighted by UN Security Council Mission to Haiti
LADB Article ID: 78546
Category/Department: Haiti
Date: 2012-03-29
By: George Rodríguez
Just over two years after Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, a mission of UN Security Council ambassadors visited the impoverished country of 9.7 million people in the French-speaking Caribbean last month. On Feb. 16, closing their four-day visit, the diplomats focused on two key issues: public safety and national security—centering on police reform—and the living conditions of hundreds of thousands still in camps set up for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) who were left homeless and in deeper poverty by the devastating event, in this country where income for 78% of the people is less than US$2 per day.

Eight competing proposals for a series of £10,000 'bold and imaginative' beach huts in Eastbourne have been unveiled
Bissett Adams, ZAP Architecture and Jak Studio are among the teams chosen to compete in the final round of the Eastbourne Borough Council-organised competition.
George King Architects, Calder Peel, Dublin-based SFA Architects, Periscope, and Alpa Depani with James Marrinan complete the shortlist.
The full shortlist
- Bissett Adams: Pipe Dreams
- ZAP Architecture: The Observatory
- SFA Architects: What Unearthed?
- Jak Studio: Spyglass
- Alpa Depani and James Marrinan: The Shingle Hut
- Periscope: The Driftwood Hut
- George King Architects: Star Gazers' Hut
- Calder Peel: Eastbourne Reborn
Planned to complete in December 2016, the project will deliver four 'bold and imaginative' beach huts east of the coastal town's historic pier which partially burnt down in 2014.
Local artist Lucy Dean, a team of students from Sussex Downs College and a group entry from Age Concern have also been shortlisted for a fifth hut in a separate contest only open to the local community.
Project manager Christine Harmar Brown commented: 'The process of selection for the competition shortlist has been a challenge due to the sheer quality of submissions. All of those on the list have come up with fantastic designs. We have real innovation along with aesthetic impact and practical application.
'Now comes the really hard bit for us to narrow it down to the actual commissions but we know that whichever ones are chosen, they will be worthy winners and will have a hugely beneficial effect on the Devonshire Ward of Eastbourne. Watch this space.'
The East Sussex settlement is currently home to around 87 huts and 69 chalets spread across six locations west of the pier.
The new structures are part of a new cycle route connecting Eastbourne's Towner Art Gallery with the Grade I-listed Art Deco De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill and HAT Projects' £4 million Jerwood Gallery in Hastings.
Judges include sculptor Alex Chinneck and the council's head of tourism Annie Wills.
The winners will be announced in April.

When the Lamborghini Aventador was launched in 201
So we get 2004 Pontiac GTO replicas of the Aventador. It's as bad as it sounds.
This nasty boy who was found on Craigslist for whopping $ 22,500 is … well, bad – but not in the good way. It was a good attempt to make something pretty out of a pretty normal car, but, man. It's hard to turn a GTO into a much slimmer Lambo, no matter how desperate you try. In this case, it's a Lamborghini inscription under the passenger airbag and an angled center console that somehow looks like something you would find in a Lambo.
Apart from that, it's still a year in 2004, GTO-Frame / Body, which is far from anything that would be considered exotic. It has all the original drivetrain and associated electronics and a wrong mid-engine as the real engine, as you might imagine, lies in front. According to the owner, "it's going and is doing great. All Power. "I do not know if I'm completely convinced.
But hell, if you're in the market for a different-looking Pontiac, then we've got just what you need.
