Manifesto review: 13 characters 12 too many for Cate Blanchett
Let's never speak again of her turns as a tattooed English punk and a bearded hobo
Manifesto: discombobulating
Film Title: Manifesto
Director: Julian Rosefeldt
Starring: Cate Blanchett
Genre: Documentary
Running Time: 90 min
There are films – see Jem Cohen's Museum Hours or the Desperate Optimists' oeuvre – that dare to blur the lines between experimental cinema and installation work. Manifesto is not among them.
The film's monstrously sized intertitles have, since the project premiered at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in 2015, become voguish enough to feature in everything from Netflix's Mindhunter to Joe Wright's Darkest Hour.
But save for that stylistic tic, this 90-minute theatrical cut – unveiled at last year's Sundance Film Festival – isn't remotely "theatrical".
Cate Blanchett stars in what was originally a multiscreen exhibition by German film-maker Julian Rosefeldt. The Australian Oscar-winner essays 13 different roles – including an incineration plant worker, a newsreader and a choreographer – with varying degrees of success and tone. Her eastern European choreographer reading from Yvonne Rainer's No Manifesto is campy and cartoonish. Her blue-collar slob – despite the heroic efforts of Morag Ross (make-up) and Massimo Gattabrusi (hair) – never convinces as anything other than Hollywood star in a lumpy jumper. And let's never, ever speak of Blanchett's turns as a tattooed English punk and a bearded hobo again.
The dialogue – or rather monologue – is stitched together from the writings of some 60 revolutionaries, including Karl Marx, Guy Debord, Alexander Rodchenko, Coop Himmelb(l)au and Wyndham Lewis.
A redheaded widow's funeral oration references the Dadaists, notably Richard Huelsenbeck and Tristan Tzara. "We want to shit in different colours," Blanchett solemnly tells the congregation. Claes Oldenburg's I am for an Art is delivered as a pre-meal grace by a conservative, affluent Bible Belt housewife.
The best juxtaposition is left until last, when a kindergarten teacher outlines the rules of Dogme '95, with added footnotes from the writings of Jim Jarmusch, Stan Brakhage and Werner Herzog. There's even more fun in watching Blanchett's newscaster chat with a weather reporter (more Blanchett), from notes on minimalist art by Sturtevant. How's that for an unnecessary journey?
Working with cinematographer Christoph Krauss, Julian Rosefeldt finds plenty of interesting modernist tableaux: the film was shot over 12 days at such Berlin locations as the Friedrichstadt-Palast and Teufelsberg. Overhead angles and odd details – notably a puppeteer playing with a Blanchett-alike doll – add to the overall sense of discombobulation.
One for the fans. Fans of Blanchett and Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Manifesto. Wherever they may be.

The subject line of my email read, Old client of yours. I did a quick think through the last couple of years, then read the name, Julie.
"Dear Lois...You did my wedding flowers..." Did she say 26 years! It seemed like another life.
It was another life. A toddler, a complete career switch from working in human resource planning to starting a florist business. And viola... my first wedding contract. Yes, Julie was my first bride and she didn't just want a posy. She wanted an arm bouquet - that sophisticated, royal look that allows a bride to balance the bouquet in the crook of the arm. A very elegant beginning, featuring white calla lilies and dendrobium orchids. Who could forget? Especially as arm bouquet requests are rare- almost never!
I guess I can call myself lucky that Julie didn't request this-
Or this-

Besides contributing to Kayo Kyoku Plus, I have my own blog at blogspot. I originally conceived it to be a dumping ground for my random essays. After a while, I changed my mind (after all, I didn't write that many random essays anyway) and wanted it to brand it as my photo blog. That also got abandoned (why do that when I already have my own photo web site?) and the blog stayed quiet for a long while, until I finally decided to make it a blog for translated Japanese songs that I love. It would also, albeit indirectly, let me test my Japanese, pick up some vocabulary (in fact, it's amazing how much vocabulary I've been picking up by reading the lyrics), and sort of like a self imposed "Japanese homework" outside my normal routine with my Japanese teacher.
So, I was telling J-Canuck over lunch that a guy emailed me a while ago asking for Akina's Second Love's translation, apparently after he visited my blog. "It's so timely," J-Canuck promptly replied. "I just wrote a piece about Second Love. Feel free to offer your translation if you like," he said. So, with J-Canuck's encouragement, and in response to the guy who requested it, I'm offering my translation here. Of course, I'll post them on my blog too.
Before we jump to the translation, let's first talk about the story in the song.
Second Love is about a young girl who failed at her first love, and is on the cusp of falling in love again, thus the name Second Love. Reflecting on her failed experience, she had some expectations in terms of adjustments she'd make in her second love. Unfortunately, the boy that she loves, either due to lack of courage, or maybe lack of interest (who could possibly resist a 17 year old Akina?), do not show any response. The young girl is therefore confused and feels painful at not knowing whether he likes her or not.
An ex-girlfriend of mine once told me that she feels more exciting in the period leading to a relationship, rather than during the relationship itself. It's not even comparable to the first few months of a new relationship, which is usually considered to be "honeymoon period." She told me that it's the guessing and flirting game that makes that "transitory period" ever so exciting. Of course, the prerequisite is she's interested in the guy in the first place. During that period, she would analyze every single word and every single little gesture made by her date, and would offer corresponding hints and gestures in response. Sometimes, the guy didn't get it, and she'd be confused (frustrated?) as to whether he showed real interest. When the guy responded, she would pretend that it's nothing and keep him guessing.
Excitement aside, it's the same emotional roller coaster that this young girl in Second Love is going through. She's given him hints but he didn't respond. She loves him so much that it made her more confused and painful. When I read the lyrics, there's one part I couldn't figure out. There 2 gestures made by the young girl: (1) picking the boy's sweater's cuff (2) fixing her bangs. Despite not having any personal experience with the 1st one (all my ex-girlfriends found that too aggressive, I guess), I would say it is a definite gesture. However, I wonder if (2) is any indication that the girl likes the guy. I did a search on the Internet a bit and it looks like multiple dating advice sites say that it is indeed a gesture made by a girl when she likes the guy. Okay, I'll let the experts out there comment further :)
Oh, one more thing that I almost forgot to mention.
Second Love was covered by Hong Kong singer Sara Lee (李麗蕊) in 1985. Sara debuted at a very young age (when she's still in secondary school) and she's only 18 when she covered it. The title of the song is 蛻變, or Reborn, in English. For those interested, here's Sara Lee's version on YouTube. I came to know about this around 5-6 years ago and I was pleasantly surprised at that time. For a lot of Hong Kong people, Sara Lee is a forgotten name because she never had a hit, let alone coming to fame. But I remembered her well because she introduced me to Air Supply during her radio show (She proclaimed herself to be a fanatic Air Supply fan). I was still in secondary school at that time, sigh!
Here's the Japanese lyrics, taken from this site:
恋も二度目なら 少しは上手に
愛のメッセージ 伝えたい
あなたのセーター 袖口つまんで
帰りたくない そばにいたいの
抱きあげて つれてって 時間ごと
せつなさのスピードは 高まって
恋も二度目なら 少しは器用に
甘いささやきに 応えたい
前髪を少し 直すふりをして
舗道にのびた あなたの影を
抱きあげて 時間ごと からだごと
せつなさがクロスする さよならに
抱きあげて つれてって 時間ごと
せつなさはモノローグ 胸の中
And here's my English translation. Japanese lyrics are famous for its ambiguity and room for imagination. I'm only providing my own interpretation. If you have other interpretations, feel free to let me know.
The second time I fall in love
I'd like to be a bit better at hinting my love to him
I pick your sweater's cuff while walking together
But you just keep your head down...
Don't wanna return home; just wanna be by your side
I am unable to say that in front of you
Hold me tight, and take me with you, and time
Towards somewhere afar
My pain is growing fast when I'm not seeing you
I'm totally confused now
The second time I fall in love
I'd like to be a bit better at responding to his chatters of love
I pretend to fix my bangs a little bit
But you just keep your head down...
Your extending shadow over the pavement
I wish I could freeze it by stopping time
Hold me tight, with time, with my body
Please sweep me away with you
The pain that crosses me when we bid each other goodbye
I hate being chased by such feeling
Hold me tight, and take me with you, and time
Towards somewhere afar
The pain in my heart is playing its monologue
I'm totally confused now
Enjoy! And by the way, someone once copied my translated lyrics of a Koji Tamaki song and posted it on YouTube without citing me as the source. I don't mind having this part of my work spread all over the Internet, just remember to quote the source rather than passing it as your own work!

Mini Reviews For The Week Ending 4/16
Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we're able to get reviewed. When that happens you'll see a weekly feature compiling short reviews from the staff of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn't get a chance to write a full review for. These are Graphic Policy's Mini Reviews.
No Mercy #9 (Image) Holy shit. This is a phenomenal comic that requires no understanding of the backstory to have an impact upon you. It's a comic that you simply must read, and one that'll give you an emotional punch even when you can guess what this is about. For more information, and a longer review, go read Elana's review here. Recommendation: Buy
Voracious #3 (Action Lab Entertainment) I love this series. It's pure brilliance on every level. Overall: 9 Recommendation: Buy
Dark Souls #1 (Titan) I'm a huge fan of the video game series, so I was hoping that this would be a half decent comic. It was, but there's nothing spectacular here; as an adaptation it was okay, but it's verging on tough territory; by adapting a video game that is guaranteed to kill you at least seven times in the first level, you've a tough job when trying to incorporate that. That said, it was a solid start for a fantasy series. Overall: 6.5 Recommendation: Read if you're half curious, pass if you're not.
The Last Contract (Boom!) I don't tend to read as many crime comics as perhaps I should, so my yard stick doesn't get much use when it comes to a comparison, but this was a solid series with a very well done conclusion. Overall: 8.5 Recommendation: Buy
Captain Canuck #7 (Chapter House Comics) – Kicking off the next adventure, this is the logical next step in the story arc that sees the team trying to be exactly that, a team. The series continues to be entertaining and fun with a superhero concept that has little of the grim and gritty of others. This is a superhero series that continues to be fun. Overall: 8.1 Recommendation: Read
Black Road #1 (Image Comics) – Brian Wood's newest series that takes the writer back to Vikings. This one isn't as historically accurate as his past series, but this is an intriguing one. Looking forward to seeing where it goes. Overall: 8.2 Recommendation: Read
Citizen Jack #5 (Image Comics) – Continuing to skewer politics and continuing to entertain. So funny and this is one you'll want to pick up in trade if you missed individual issues. Overall: 8.15 Recommendation: Read
Heartthrob #1 (Oni Press) – A good first issue whose premise is predictable. It's still entertaining, but I wish there was something a bit more original. But, it's still a good read. Overall: 7.7 Recommendation: Read
Letter 44 #24 (Oni Press) – This is a comic that'll get you thinking. Really good direction that's starting to mix religion into the politics and sci-fi. Overall: 8.35 Recommendation: Read
The Massive: Ninth Wave #5 (Dark Horse) – This issue answers a big question as to why Callum Israel is wanted by the FBI and also has a hell of a quandry as to doing what's right. Overall: 8.45 Recommendation: Buy
Starve #8 (Image Comics) – The series seems to get better with every issue. I have no idea where it's going but it's exploration of food in poor areas of inner cities is a fantastic direction. Overall: 8.65 Recommendation: Read
Ryan C
Starve #8 (Image) – I was more intrigued by the first two issues of the currently-running second story arc than I was by this one, which sees Chef Gavin Cruikshank essentially blow off his neighborhood restaurant concept the minute after its doors open, and then goes on to show us that TV network "suits" are every bit as petty, vindictive, and generally shitty as we always figured they were, anyway. Danijel Zezelj's art continues to impress, but every third or fourth issue so far Brian Wood has just turned in a dud of a script. This is one of those occasions. Overall: 4 Recommendation: Buy if you're following the series in singles, otherwise pass.
Slash & Burn #6 (DC/Vertigo): Damn, am I sorry to see this series cancelled prematurely. Si Spencer does a beyond-adequate job of wrapping up his storyline and max Dunbar and Ande Parks continue to impress on art with one exception — they draw the little-girl version of Rosheen seen in flashbacks as a miniaturized adult, and always have. It's like looking at a grown-up face on a kid body and it's a fucking mess, there's just no nice way of putting it. Other than that though, the creators have nothing to hang their heads about here and plenty to be proud of. The last page is a heavy-handed, excruciatingly "purple"-prosed send-off, but I blame the editors and bean counters for necessitating its existence in the first place. This book deserved much better from its publisher. Overall: 7.5 Recommendation: Buy
Moon Knight #1 (Marvel)* – Another year, another "Moon Knight" first issue. By now you know the drill, don't you? If you want a watered-down version of a character coming off a celebrated run that captures the superficial "spirit" of the work the last folks did but none of its substance, then Jeff Lemire is your man. He followed up the Fraction/Aja "Hawkeye" run with a series that aped its look but had none of its heart, and editorial seems to have tasked him with much the same job here. Not that every story arc in the last MK series was necessarily great, mind you, but they were all exponentially more original than this tepid "is-he-crazy-or-is-all-that-shit-in-his-head-real?" story. You've seen this done a thousand times previously, and usually with more success. Greg Smallwood's art is gorgeous, to be sure, and it's fun to watch him play around with a number of different styles for a few pages each, but the book is hardly worth five bucks just for that. Overall: 5 Recommendation: Pass.
Black Road#1 (Image): There have been a dozen stories where they have gone on actual road trips where they endure a series of trials and Brian Wood 's latest does the same but with Vikings. We meet Magnus, a Viking who has been immersed into the Christian invaders culture and takes up a job where nothing death and violence are its very inhabitants. Within the first few pages, his mission goes sideways, but a surprise awaits him when he thought he was dead. Altogether, an interesting introduction to this brutal atmosphere,one which will have readers coming back for more.
Story: 9 Art: 9 Overall: 9.7 Recommendation: Buy
Well, there you have it, folks. The reviews we didn't quite get a chance to write.
Please note that with some of the above comics, Graphic Policy was provided FREE copies for review. Where we purchased the comics, you'll see an asterisk (*). If you don't see that, you can infer the comic was a review copy. In cases where we were provided a review copy and we also purchased the comic you'll see two asterisks (**).

Head here to submit your own review of this album.
The president of G.O.O.D Music has addressed you; snarling through his teeth. He's been watching all along and isn't pleased in the slightest. And now, because of us, no one is safe. Pusha T's highly-anticipated second solo studio album King Push - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude is an uncompromisingly dusky and defining moment, in not only the Virginia-rapper's extended discography that dates back to the early '90s, but as a significant marker of the rap industry's current state - a partisan and contaminated "three ring circus," he calls it. Marking the end of a frenzied and replete 2015, after all the mixtapes, streams, think-pieces and year-end 'top albums' lists have been recycled, King Push has appeared from the shadows of December's celebratory comfort, catching us off-guard in the midst of our grandiose self-congratulatory brashness, pleased with all we've accomplished in the year. But through the sheer intensity of his 10-track sonic zeitgeist, he's supplied a raw and assertive critique of us. And all he sees is victims.
From trap lord to rap kingpin, Pusha T's fervent focus on the follow-up to 2013's My Name Is My Name is threefold: delivering the fiery Mafioso rhymes and anecdotes that formed the archetype for rap's last dope dealer, offering menacing street tracks brimming with stanzas as witty as they are vicious. He's served the scornful prologue to his third album King Push, which is set for release in April 2016. And finally, he's assuredly sported a self-claimed cape (made of only the finest threads) as rap's current crusader, in an attempt to save the culture from ourselves. But the juxtaposition of the intrepid aims are telling. He's neither hero nor villain. While MNIMN was a direct reflection of Terrence Thorton's drug-dealing past, Darkest Before Dawn is a declaration of now, using the rap world's skewed priorities and current disordered reality as his muse, dissecting its flaws through neurotic observations and sociological exploration - and of course the most inexhaustible adlib in the game. And while MNIMN's faults lie in its sequencing and filler, Darkest Before Dawn is concentrated and trimmed. And Pusha T, strengthened.
"Even you fools serve purpose. Let 'em run amuck until the king resurface. Then it's off with your heads. Wear your little jewels, you can't floss when you're dead," Pusha T growls on the album's thunderous intro. Over prolific production from hip-hop's most notable hit makers, he's unleashed a steady barrage of street-oriented singles like 'Untouchable' and 'M.F.T.R,' mixing fire and bass with the help of Metro Boomin, Kanye West, Boi1da, Timbaland, Q Tip, and Diddy. Timbo's sporadic drum patterns on cuts like 'Got Em Covered' and 'Retribution,' coax rap's most consistent artist out of his comfort zone to navigate over the sometimes sparse and stripped down, sometimes lush and triumphant beats. And while packed full of features, rap guests like Beanie Sigel and Ab-Liva leave Pusha unmatched, although thoughtfully purposed hooks from Jill Scott, The-Dream and Grammy-nominated Kehlani offer depth and dexterity to the barrage of single-worthy cuts.
Ending off the opus, Pusha T takes his glare off the industry for the album's most sincere and touching flash. 'Sunshine' holds up a much-needed mirror to America as a whole, blindingly beaming on 2015's stormy racial climate and the many deaths turned headlines, at the hand of police brutality and the media's skewed view of black bodies. "The badge is the new noose. We all see it, but cellphones ain't enough proof, so we still lose," he raps. The words hit directly and with no remission.
Although passionate about altering the landscape of music heading into the New Year, Pusha T is no rap conservative. Distilling fears in his peers, his call for change is an aggressive attack and just when the industry had dropped its safe-guard. And for so many artists, writers, producers and tastemakers glorified for trolling the game, Pusha T just did it better. "Chess moves on your checkerboard. King him." EUGHCK!

This is vol.6 of Naxos's complete recording of Scheidemann's organ music, played by Brazilian organist Julia Brown on a modern organ tuned at A440 in Kellner's 'Bach' temperament. The programme is imaginatively constructed with differing genres well juxtaposed. The playing is clean, well schooled, with authentic technique, but with little personal imagination. This is a tendency I have noticed with many CDs emanating from the USA, almost as if a single international style of organ playing is becoming the norm. I am sure that a wider range of imagination, excitement and emotional intensity could be generated from performing this music.

Well... one interesting matchup would be Grue vs Avaritia Infinity Armor.
EDIT: Tested it, Grue can't kill it, but they can't be killed by the Sword of The Cosmos either.
If you've ever played any of the games in the classic Zork trilogy (which was popular around the 80's), you've probably encountered the Grue, silently killing you because you were inside a dark room. Well, now that monster appears in Minecraft, haunting you there!
What this mod does is adding a new mob called "Grue", whom spawns close to a player if they're in an area where the light level is 2 or lower (simply standing still will only make more of them spawn). The Grue is immortal, and deals almost infinite damage (so there's no way to survive it if you get hit). But there is one way to banish it, which is as simple as getting into a place where the light level is higher than 2, in which case the Grue bursts into a plume of smoke, eliminating the threat for now.
This mod was made so that Tedyhere could use it in an adventure map, but that doesn't mean anyone else can't use it and feel the pain and suffering from being killed by these monsters.
Here's a couple of mod showcases of Grue:
By AN7HONY96 (in spanish)
By HelldogMadness (in spanish)
Grue comes with a variety of configuration options to enhance your experience:
Daylight Grue:
Enable this if you want Daylight Grues to appear where the light level is 14 or higher. They deal 3 hearts of damage per hit, and die when the light level is below 14 (like how the regular Grue dies when the light level is above 2). Minecraft restart required!
B:"Daylight Grue"=false
Display Warning Text:
Toggles whether or not to display the warning text when in dark areas. Client-side only!
B:"Display Warning Text"=true
Dynamic Lights Mode:
If this is enabled (client and server), you will be able to repel Grue with handheld light sources while AtomicStryker's Dynamic Lights is present. It will be on a per-player basis, so if Player A has Dynamic Lights installed, but Player B doesn't, Player A will be able to repel Grue with a handheld light source, while Player B won't.
B:"Dynamic Lights Mode"=false
Grue dimension whitelist:
Toggles the Grue dimension whitelist (used to force the Grues to only spawn in certain dimensions). This can be useful if you want to restrict Grue spawning to specific dimensions (the whitelist applies to both the regular Grue and the Daylight Grue).
B:"Grue dimension whitelist"=false
Grue spawn timer:
Change the value to increase the time it takes before a Grue spawns. Minimum is 10 seconds, and maximum is 30 seconds.
I:"Grue spawn timer"=10
Add dimension IDs to this list if you want Grues to spawn here. Only used if Grue dimension whitelist is enabled!
I:Whitelist <
Wimp mode:
Toggles wimp-mode, which reduces the Grue's damage output to 3 hearts (a 6.505213034913026604750013415713e-19th of the default). Another thing this does is the Grue no longer deals armor-piercing damage.
B:"Wimp mode"=false
If you want to override the dimension whitelist so that Grues always spawn in a specific dimension, you can do so with the following code:

Well... one interesting matchup would be Grue vs Avaritia Infinity Armor.
EDIT: Tested it, Grue can't kill it, but they can't be killed by the Sword of The Cosmos either.

In reply to unGGed:
May I ask you kindly, if you please could make a version of grue, where he dont oneshot-kill a player? I know, that you made him for a purpose that strong for an adventure map.
I want to have him on my private server with a friend. And we love the idea of how you made this monster as immortal and that he only creeps around in the very dark right next to the player. But it annoyed us just, that he deals that much damage.
My only suggestion is, that you could just lower his damage that makes him needs to punch the player like 4 - 5 times, until the player dies. We would love this more and it makes him even creepier, when he hits you, and you try to get away from him, but he is hunting you in every corner and hits you. It's kind of more horror and panicking, than just a one-hit-kill.
Edit: for informations. We are playing on mc 1.10.2 :)
In reply to Shinoow:
Is it possible to add more alarming text in game? Like the mod will give an alarm after 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds. It will create more fun by giving different scaring texts.
In reply to Forecaster:
I love this mod but the shuffling noise that it plays when idle is annoying.
Could there be a way to disable that?
i added the nether to the whitelist but the grue dont spawn there. i even tried the spawn egg & it just disappears into a poof of smoke.
EDIT: forgot to mention that im using the latest 1.7.10 version.

Outgoing Fashion Editor, Caroline McWilliams, writes of her love for fashion and looks back on her time as editor and the questions it has posed regarding the concept of fashion.
My mother had a pair of black velvet block heels that I used to totter around in, with her nervously looking on, quite convinced that I would break my ankle. My grandmother warned me against wearing heels or tight fitting shoes, saying that I would end up with feet like hers. Luckily I had a lucky charm up my sleeve and at home I always, and still do, emulate my other grandmother who either wore moccasins or went barefoot. Additionally, in a stroke of luck, the only time I have broken a bone to date was when someone dropped a metal chair on my foot. I was wearing trainers…
Either way, and despite any warnings, I became a model at the age of seventeen and my lights eye up when I enter a designer boutique or see the latest photographs from Paris Fashion Week. The lightness of heart that fashion gives me is the same that my art historian friend experiences when she stands surrounded by Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces. Yet, I am a bundle of contradictions, I hardly ever buy an item in these designer boutiques, instead I buy almost everything on sale or I find vaguely chic items in charity shops and remake them, adding my own spin. My latest has been turning a silky dress with a slightly hideous neckline into a replica of a 1930s dress seen on the Riviera.
Fashion is my love, clothes are my inspiration, fabric my paradise, and yet, what do I really know about fashion? Over two years when Label approached me to become their first Fashion Editor I readily accepted but then started wondering, what on earth makes me qualified to do this? At the time it seemed as if I didn't know a single thing.
I spent that summer studying fashion in London and by the end of the six week course felt slightly more qualified to write for a fashion section but no more prepared to edit one. However, I soon found myself with a group of wonderful writers and the task became simple. All I had to do was encourage them to write about what they were passionate about. Occasionally a writer would come to me saying they really wanted to write an article but did not have a subject in mind. It surprised me but I found that I could readily find topics that interested them.
In my two years with Label Press we have had such a plethora of fashion articles ranging from social justice issues to tips on how to dress for autumn. The pieces that have inspired me the most have been written about the issues closest to the writers' own hearts: fashion and eating disorders, historical fashion and personal style studies. My writers have been from all over the world and each has had a different take on the idea of what 'fashion' is.
It perhaps took me a while to realise but the word 'fashion' means something different to everyone. To me it is an art form, brimming with history, personified by talented designers and inspiring generations. To others it may be the thing that got them through a mental illness, inspired them to exercise or merely the thing that covers their body from day to day.
I have written before that fashion is a worldwide language and I now say that like music it can inspire social revolutions and create legacies. And I now know what qualified me to be a fashion editor. That answer is absolutely nothing. My opinion counts for nothing more than anyone else's even if I do have a fairly good knowledge of historical and contemporary fashion movements. To be a good editor for anything at all one must only have an open mind and accept each writer for who they are. The grammar will not always be perfect, paragraphs may need to be cut and photographs may require revising. However, if the writer is passionate, reading their ideas and helping them to put their vision onto paper is just a true joy.
Fashion is what you make it. Fashion is universal. Fashion belongs to you just as much as to me.

I crawled off a reformer and hobbled towards the corner of the room where the disinfectant is kept in two spray bottles beside a pile of clean white paper towels. It's Pilates' etiquette, you see, to wipe one's sweat off the machine you were just draped across so the person who works out after you will have the pleasure of only reclining in sweat of her own. It's been about a year that I've been attending this studio faithfully, and I've come to be friendly with the other regulars. We know certain things about each other now, the type of casual information you trot out as you lay panting beside one another in the early hours of a weekend morning or in the finally-blessedly-light-outside time of 6:00 PM. I know, for instance, who just had a birthday and whose kid is in his junior year of Art school. I know who recently cut all alcohol from her lifestyle and promptly dropped twenty pounds because apparently her favorite prior food group was vodka. I know which person's hip hurts when the lunging happens. I know who just signed up for a nutritionist because she ate nine mini cupcakes last night and then exploded into a paroxysm of guilt that manifested into a hysteria of dietary planning. I know who never stops fucking moaning during every single exercise and I'm just guessing here, but I have come to think the reason such a thing occurs has to be because this woman's imaginary (and perhaps her only) friend told her the class' secret name is Porn With Pilates. I know that when we're told right before class to grab the ring, the ball, and the dowel that we will all collectively heave a deep sigh because shit is about to burn.
There's a easy familiarity we have going, so I wasn't particularly surprised when one of the women met me near the door on our way out of class and asked if I'm involved with anyone at the moment.
"I'm actually dating like it's my job," I told her. "And my work is exhausting."

Call to preserve historic Harry Stoke 'moat'Posted on Monday 22nd April 2019 at 10:33 pm by SH (Editor)
As Crest Nicholson prepares to begin construction of a 763-home development in Harry Stoke (subject to final planning approval), a local history enthusiast is calling on the developer to preserve a historic water feature…
By Adrian Kerton
The 'moat' at Harry Stoke has always been regarded as an insignificant small pond, but now the surrounding scrub has been cleared, it can be seen to be a large, well engineered water feature, with an extensive dry stone wall. It is connected by an underground stone lined drain to the Stonelands pond, which is a breeding pond for the great crested newt, and as the two ponds are connected, it is probable that the moat is also a breeding pond.
So what is the purpose of the feature? A map of 1951 shows the designation as a 'moat', but the surrounding terrain suggests it never encompassed the early medieval settlement.
So what was it? We know that in 1304 John le White of Bristol sold a plot of land and a mill to Margaret Gifford, so was it the mill pond? Previous excavations haven't shown the presence of a mill, but South Gloucestershire Council archaeologist Paul Driscoll has requested some exploratory trenches.
The other explanation is that the moat is a medieval fishpond.
"Like field-ponds, fishponds have not been seriously studied. Popular legend links them exclusively with monasteries and monastic properties, but in fact the fishpond was a useful adjunct to any village." – B. K. Roberts, Medieval Fishponds, 1966
"Period fishponds are very representative of large scale animal husbandry during the medieval and post medieval period. As such they have considerable historic interest." – Historic England (which lists more than 50 medieval fishponds as scheduled monuments)
More: Medieval fishponds are usually rectangular »

The Bank of England is the central Bank of the United Kingdom, established in 1694. Representatives from the Bank's Data Analytics & Modelling team will discuss the Bank of England's journey to delivering a Big Data capability and how the Hortonworks HDP platform is helping us deliver on our mission statement of "promote the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability". We will explore the challenges we've faced, how we have overcome some of these and those that remain to be conquered. We will also present our strategy for the Bank's future Big Data platform as we look to scale up further in the coming years.
We will focus in particular on our first successful 'Big Data' production system. This exists in response to the financial crises of 2008 and the subsequent push to make the derivative markets safer by reducing systemic risk. In Europe this was delivered through the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). We will explain the Bank of England's role in monitoring UK entities within this important market and describe the significant challenges facing our team in building a data analytics platform to facilitate this

Here is an UNMISSABLE interview I've just done with sports nutrition expert Ben Coomber. This guy works every day with champion athletes and generally turns people into BEASTS. Great info here for you rugby players!
In the video below Ben discusses LOADS of great things you can do TODAY to build muscle, strip off fat and most importantly, improve your HEALTH! I can't recommend this info enough so check out the vid now!
The main ACTION points Ben brings up are below, LOADS of info here!
Read through them all and just take one or two things and start implementing them TODAY!! I want everyone to take action on this information, start taking control of your health and diet today and you'll play harder and perform better!
- Eat more veggies, eat protein from good animal sources and limit sugar intake.
- Eat healthier and you will lose weight and improve your body composition.
- Cycle carbs throughout the week.
- Experiment and find out what works for you regarding how much carbs you can take in without feeling sluggish and sleepy. Some people can eat carbs and have high energy levels, some can't. Know thyself!
- Say to yourself before you eat, "What is the value of these calories that I am about to eat", the foods you eat must serve health, performance and longevity. If they don't serve these values, DO NOT EAT THEM.
- Have a protein heavy and fat heavy breakfast to control body composition and insulin levels…..he recommends a cheesy omelette with vegetables
- Lunch should usually be meat heavy with veggies, like a nice BIG salad with loads of meat.
- Have protein and healthy fat based snacks between meals, like a protein shake and a handful of nuts.
- After training have a shake that includes fast acting carbs (sugars) and protein, I use chocolate milk and Ben approves!
- The meal following your workout is when you can have your carbs, but stick to healthier options like brown rice and sweet potatoes, and as always get in loads of vegetables!
- Eat a variety of foods to provide the body with all the vitamins and essential stuff it needs
- To maintain and increase strength and muscle DURING a competitive season you gotta manage your stress levels, relax each day and work on incorporating recovery methods into your program
- For the majority of people…..20 minutes into a game, start sipping your sports drinks or popping jelly babies down your neck. If you eat them BEFORE the game you may experience a drop in energy as the body digests the sugar. But again, experiment and see how your body reacts, do what works for YOU.
- Educate yourself about diet, experiment with what works and tweak your diet until its perfect. Your diet may not be perfect straight away so use trial and error until it works great for you.
- If you find a vegetarian person, ask them why they don't eat loads of amazing meat! We are meant to eat meat so question their beliefs because they are missing out on ESSENTIAL nutrients.
- When making changes to your diet take little steps but make constant changes and slowly you'll create a great diet. You'll see progress but you won't have noticed the changes!
- Have faith that the positive changes you make will work. Being healthy should be a LIFESTYLE choice, not a 3 month trip before going back to your old unhealthy ways. Stay positive, have faith.
- Build a strong and healthy foundation and you will be in a much better place to achieve any training goal that you want to focus on.
- Before you take supplements, start eating healthy and give your body time to adapt. If you're unhealthy your body won't be able to digest those expensive protein shakes!
- Once you have your healthy foundation, then and ONLY then should you start taking supplements. Ben recommends vitamin D and fish oil because we don't get enough of them in the foods we buy.
- When you look at taking supplements, look at your whole diet and see what areas are lacking and need help.
There are loads of QUALITY tips and info here for you to take home and take action.
The video goes much further in depth and has a load of great info that I simply couldn't put into a bullet pointed format, if you haven't watched it yet scroll up and watch it now!

Here is a super easy recipe and full of iron and protein! Perfect for a dinner on a green salad, as a snack or salad.
This is one of those salads that are simple, but good and at the same time, very appetizing, and that can be prepared with ingredients that we all have in our refrigerators and the vegetables in the season. It can be assembled in no time and is eaten just as quickly ... a significant advantage in case you have a very short lunch break ... and represents a fairly complete meal. Rather rich in vegetable protein, it does not necessarily need to be accompanied by bread or other sources of carbohydrates.
However, it must be taken into account that, because of its high fiber content, it is not the easiest salad to digest. This can be improved by soaking the lentils for several hours, grating vegetables instead of cutting them and removing the onion or mustard. Otherwise, you can also replace the olive oil with another one (walnut, hazelnut, sesame, ...) or add other ingredients (dried nuts or seeds, aromatic herbs, spices ...).
The lentils are low in calories and rich in nutrients. Eating lentils at least once a week is a great way to add to the health benefits of these tasty legumes to your diet.
Lentils are also very rich in protein. Associated with a cereal (rice, wheat ...), they bring all the amino acids necessary for our organism and can replace the meat. Source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin B9 and many minerals (iron, phosphorus, manganese, copper ...) the lentils are a satiating food.
Another health benefits of lentils: these legumes contain many antioxidants of the flavonoid family. But recent studies have shown that some of these antioxidants can help us fight bad cholesterol and lower blood triglycerides, but also slow down the growth of cancer cells in the body.
The lentil cost very little per portion, so this is an economic protein source hard to beat!
The lentils double and sometimes triple in volume after cooking: 125 ml (½ cup) of dry lentils (100 g) gives 250 to 375 ml (1 to 1 ½ cups) of cooked lentils, a good portion per person in main course . Calculate half, about 60 ml (¼ cup) dry (180 ml / ¾ cup cooked) as an accompaniment.
Try this salad, it's very nourishing and it's even better when the lentils are still warm.

What is it?
Third Army's U.S Army Central (ARCENT) support element to Iraq (ASE-I) is a team of teams with a wide range of specialists that accomplish the task of responsibly drawing down forces and materiel from Iraq while transferring equipment to Afghanistan and throughout the Army for reset. Embedded in Multi-National Corps -Iraq , ASE-I's mission is to synchronize, coordinate and direct the execution of equipment retrograde from the Iraqi in order to meet Department of Defense, Combatant Command and Department of the Army requirements to ensure compliance with all aspects of the Iraqi Security Agreement. ASE-I's goal is to rapidly generate theater and DA guidance for the final disposition of equipment and supplies forward within 96-hours of MNC-I's notification period.
What has ASE-I done?
ASE-I conducted parallel planning with MNC-I and MNF-I in support of the Responsible Drawdown. ASE-I include provided disposition for approximately 38,000 pieces of equipment; synchronizing retrograde efforts and planning between Third Army, MNF-I and MNC-I; and Army Material Command and DA. ASE-I developed systems and conducted analysis to allow for better business practices, streamlining processes that assist in the Responsible Drawdown in Iraq and the buildup in Afghanistan.
What are ASE-I's continued efforts?
Third Army's ASE-I partnered with AMC's newly established Retrograde and Reset Task Force to provide rapid disposition and reset of all forces and materiel retrograding out of Iraq while balancing the flow of equipment and materiel throughout the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations.
Why is ASE-I important to the Army?
Third Army's ASE-I provides continuous, uninterrupted, world-class sustainment of U.S. forces. It plays a key role in providing the necessary command and control and common operating picture for removing all equipment from Iraq by the end of 2011 while building up forces in Afghanistan and setting the conditions to restore strategic readiness in the Army.

Shanghai, Pudong, JinQiao Special Import Zone | 9000m² | Completed 2004 | Co-Designer: DDG(US)
The site is located in the Biyun International Community, occupying an area of 111,520 sqm. Its layout was typical western. All residential buildings were in a radial pattern with community center in the middle, which enhanced the sense of getting together. The service facilities and public green land in the community center could be fully shared by each household. The key point of the design was on the change of landform--the rich sense of space has realized a natural and interest combination of the form and structure of the community.

I started the Sunday Soundcheck as a weekly post, but in December when I took a two week break, I totally forgot about it. How distracted I've been. Anyhow, I'll try not to be so forgetful from now on. So, number 6 is the first sound from row 2: ka. It is represented by か in hiragana and カ in katakana; these are two kana which look very much alike, which happens sometimes.
カリウム(kariumu)is Japanese for 'potassium'. Well, doesn't that sound different? Ever wonder why the atomic symbol for Potassium isn't P? Besides the fact that P is for Phosphorus, and Po is already taken by Polonium, and Pt by Platinum, there is a reason. Pm was available, but K is the symbol for Potassium because in German it is Kalium. Bonus round: why is W the symbol for Tungsten?
かのうせい(kanousei), also written in kanji as 可能性, means 'possibility', 'likelihood', 'chance', or 'potentiality'.

Posing in the street trying not to get hit by cars definitely was a bit of a rush! I think Ashely wanted to kill me after this shoot for freaking her out, but made for very good pictures.
This dress is probably one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now. I love those tunic-ish dresses that look like they could almost be a shirt. I'm definitely a fan of open backs too, especially the caged detailing on this one..makes it edgy and shows a little skin ;)

Motor traders are likely to have noticed a boost in business as new research has revealed that second-hand car values have increased.
The study conducted by British Car Auctions (BCA) at the end of February found that values rose for the fourth month running.
With average second-hand vehicles selling for around £5,500 last month, sales shot up by 8.4 per cent from January.
BCA communications director Tony Gannon commented: "There is now little doubt that used values are making a seasonal but possibly significant recovery from the low points of last year."
He attributed this to the fact that the market is experiencing "deferred demand" from last year, as those needing to buy a car held back when the effects of the economic downturn became apparent.
This comes after used car valuation guide the CAP Black Book predicted that the used market would start to experience new highs after it recorded a recent boost in demand.

Rating: 3/5
"Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!"
It's quite fitting that, as Vanessa Hudgens attempts to destroy her clean-cut Disney image in Springbreakers and Ashley Tisdale commits career suicide in Scary Movie 5, our Movie Lottery draw selected High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The trilogy put both these actresses on the map, propelling them to stardom alongside Zac Efron; technically the ensemble cast focuses on six kids, but the franchise quickly became an Efron-Hudgens vehicle and, of the bunch, it is these two who have proved the most successful since it finished in 2008.
The third and final film follows the same format as the former two, but is bigger in both budget and scale due to its cinematic release – parts one and two are among the many made-for-television movies Disney churn out. If you're curious (or worried), the only others to feature in our collection are Camp Rock 2: Final Jam and, for some reason I've since forgotten, Princess Protection Program. None matched the success and popularity of High School Musical however; it even beat Mama Mia!'s opening weekend.
Senior Year is rather self-explanatory; basketball star/singing sensation Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), his high school sweetheart Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), friends Chad and Taylor, and their frenemies Sharpay and Ryan Evans are all entering the final months of school. While they attempt to make the best school musical ever – the story of their own experiences – they are all dealing with the knowledge that soon they will be growing up, leaving school, and entering the adult world. Can their friendships and relationships survive? I don't want to give anything away, but it is a Disney movie, after all.
Featuring over fifty minutes of song and dance numbers – more than half the film's running time – this is easily the best of the franchise. The songs are infectious, catchy, memorable pop tunes, while the official musical running parallel to their lives allows for some impressive set pieces that pay direct homage to the glory days of the Hollywood musical. Cancan girls, bright lights, stage props and rapid costume changes all feature and, even if the idea of a wholesome, tween-centric musical extravaganza makes your ears bleed, I challenge you to not get at least a little bit caught up in the delightful innocence that runs throughout.
Efron and Hudgens are the glue that holds the trilogy together – they are the best actors of the group (Gabriella's friend Taylor is horribly affected, while Chad is non-descript as Troy's bland best buddy; though Lucas Grabeel deserves a mention for his portrayal of flamboyant, camp Ryan) and, particularly in scenes together, are warm and engaging. Their romance, developing over the course of three films, is an idealistic fairytale, but there's nothing wrong with leaving adult cynicism at the door for an hour and a half.
Naturally, it is twee, overly optimistic, bubblegum bright and absolutely preposterous; everyone is super talented and suspiciously nice, disagreements are mild and quickly replaced by unanimous understanding and support, couples are still content to simply hold hands after three years together, nasty girls learn lessons without complaining and reform instantly (or at least until the next movie), and there's not even the slightest hint at underage drinking at a house party. Yet it is precisely because of these things that High School Musical is such a joy. In a cinematic world where darker is apparently always better, it's quite refreshing to see a pure, untainted vision of high school utopia – and, honestly, the songs really are quite good.

A 24-year-old two-time British senior weightlifting champion, Shila Panjavi, has been suspended from all sport for four years following an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV).
Panjavi, from London, tested positive for a metabolite of stanozolol, an exogenous anabolic androgenic steroid, following an in-competition test at the British Weightlifting Championships on 12 June 2016.
The weightlifter, who had retained her British title at the Championships, was subsequently charged with an ADRV pursuant to article 2.1 of the World Anti-Doping Code – "Presence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an Athlete's Sample".
Panjavi formally contested the charge on the grounds that the positive test came as a result of taking medication for foot swelling whilst she visited Iran. However, an independent National Anti-Doping Panel was not satisfied with Panjavi's explanation regarding the source of the prohibited substance and a four-year ban was imposed.
UKAD Chief Executive Nicole Sapstead said: "Shila Panjavi was one of Britain's leading weightlifting talents, with a bright future ahead of her in the sport. As a result of her own choices, that future has been taken away and Panjavi now faces a lengthy ban from the sport.
"It is important to remember that her actions have not just impacted her own career, but also her competitors. Panjavi has stolen the dreams of those she competed against at the 2016 British Weightlifting Championships.
"This case is an excellent example to athletes that taking a substance without adequate knowledge of its contents could have serious effects on both their health and sporting careers. I implore all athletes – from beginner to elite – to check the prohibited status of medications via GlobalDRO.com."
Panjavi is banned from all sport from 8 July 2016 until midnight on 7 July 2020.

Embodied. Learning. Technologies.
HeartWire aims at innovating the way we teach and learn about the world. We design seminars for young adults that not only address their heads, but also their emotions, bodies and souls, as we are convinced, that when these four "channels" work together, real transformation is possible. We use a large variety of ancient and cutting edge technologies ranging from Virtual Reality and Biofeedback to Fine Arts and Mindfulness. We partner with schools, NGO's, foundations and any other entity that share our wish for positive change. Our equation is simple: The better we know ourselves, the more empathy, resilience, care and cooperation we will bring to the world.
An education of the hearts
We believe that the skill that our species most needs in the 21st century is heart intelligence. We are in both shock and awe when we look at our times: While we see beautiful networks of inspiring and courageous changemakers spreading around the globe and information virtually accessible to all, we are facing severe dangers at the same time, such as the climate crisis, terror, war, racism, water and food shortages or the manipulation of information and data.
We know that we can actively learn to become more loving human beings. So let's do it. Let's get started. And let's use everything evolution has to offer for it – from the ancient wisdom developed in monasteries to neurosciences, psychology and game design, to state of the art technologies developed in Silicon Valley.

How Much Does It Cost To File A Bankruptcy?
There could be several hidden costs while filing bankruptcy apart from Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, attorney fees etc. When there are fees you need to pay, there are escape routes through which you can reduce unnecessary costs. One can file a case without the help of an attorney, but the success rate is poor, and fees are higher. To know the cost structure better and to make the entire process easier, you should contact bankruptcy attorney in OKC or contact Chris Mudd & Associates.

Two and a half years after reading Tim Ferris' 4 Hour Work Week I am now literally living it out, just as Tim described.
For the last 5 weeks I have had (almost) total control over my life.
A few commitments here and there, but by and large I've been able to do exactly what I want to do, precisely when I want to do it. No employer, no clients, no one to report to. Total freedom.
But this "freedom" has quickly degenerated into mindless self-indulgence.
I spent 4 weeks in Belgium eating and drinking like a starving pig at Brussel's many all-you-can-eat restaurants. Then returned to Valencia for a few days of beach-lounging and jet-skiing. Then to Morocco to swim in waterfalls and race quad bikes through the desert.
This was all great fun but at some point diminishing marginal utility kicks in and sucks up all the excitement.
As Oscar Wilde said, "Everything in moderation, including moderation." Nothing is fun forever, and (most) human beings need limits to lead meaningful lives and keep us away from myopic primal hedonism.
As Tal Ben-Shahar astutely argues in his book, Happier, a sincerely happy, meaningful life is one where we live our lives in fine-tuned balance between present and future benefit.
Eating, drinking and jet-skiing, though great in moderation, provide only present benefit to the detriment of one's future benefit. As a result, I've been yearning meaning, purpose, something to work towards. But equally, Ben-Shahar warns against falling into the rat-racer's trap: where you furiously pursue future reward to the detriment of present benefit. (A trap I've fallen into many times before.)
For me, balance between present and future benefit can be most easily found in learning.
Learning Spanish, for instance, delivers present benefit in seeing tangible progress and reaching aha moments, but also future benefit in the new relationship and travel opportunities Spanish fluency can open up.
And the same for all the other stuff I'm learning and working on: psychology, data science, writing, boxing, salsa.
But without structure, especially when stretched between several competing interests, it's too easy to fall prey to short-term pleasures – to forego writing this article because the new season of Power is out – or to get tangled up switching between pursuits – to give up on the imperfect tense to start a machine learning MOOC.
So after finally returning from Morocco and ending my 5-week holiday period, I sat down to design a structure for my new lifestyle.
Structured freedom:
First, I divide each day into 4 x 3 hour activity blocks (12 hours). Allowing a further 2 hours to cook lunch and dinner, and 2 hours to meditate, gym and spruce up, that soaks up my entire 16 hours of awake time. (Assuming 8 hours of sleep.)
Every Saturday, I conduct a weekly review: I sit down with my goals and review my performance in the last week. Depending on where I am (i.e. which goals need more/less work), I then decide on what I'm going to do in each activity block for the week.
For instance, today, I had planned to spend the first block studying Spanish (to reach my professional fluency goal), the second block water-bubble zorbing (to reach my have more fun goal), this current third block writing this article (to hit my write one article per week goal) and my fourth block practising massage (which again works towards my have more fun goal).
And this is how I structure every day of my week. It's a lot like school: I go through each day from one activity block, one lesson, to the next, learning and doing different things along the way to improve and enjoy myself. The big difference obviously being I'm in control of what and how I study.
Throughout the week I also schedule in ad hoc one hour Misc periods to deal with the random stuff life throws at me. But by batching all the random stuff that crops up into these one hour misc periods, I prevent any randomness from bleeding into my activity blocks or distracting me.
I'm rarely ever able to stick perfectly to my timetable (which is fine) but I do try to ensure each activity block endures the full 3 hours allocated to it. And so far, it's working out exactly as intended: structured freedom gives me the structure, discipline and limits I need to balance my interests and progress towards my goals.
Like Jocko Willink says, "Discipline equals freedom".
