Transitional Career Coaching
Unsure of the 'right' next step in your career but know that you need a change? Nothing is worse than the feeling that something is not quite right, that you are stuck where you are and not making any progress. Maybe you've been doing the same role or been in the same company for years and have lost your fire. You're getting that Sunday night 'dread' feeling. Change can be scary and starting something new when you already have an established career can feel like an unsurmountable challenge.
A 1-1 specialized transitional career coaching engagement with me takes place over several months. Using a successful and established coaching methodology we will:
establish clear goals and objectives for what success looks like
understand your previous and current context
get under the hood of what might be holding you back
create experiments which will allow you to take small, risk-free steps
form a concrete action plan to get you going
get you EXCITED about your future!
Executive Leadership Coaching
Leaders and how they act can have the largest impact on any successful organization. Whether you are a new leader keen to define your leadership profile or an experienced leader who is committed to improving your performance, coaching can provide a powerful tool to quickly accelerate your objectives. I work with leaders as they prepare to move into new roles, helping them to proactively consider and address new challenges in the role so they are positioned to lead most effectively. I also coach established leaders who are contributing great value, but have a blind spot or opportunity that is impacting their overall effectiveness as a leader.
New in role leaders who have:
Expanded responsibility and visibility such as stepping into a more senior executive position
New responsibilities such as shifting between staff and line functions
A shift into a different department, company or industry
Leaders with styles or behaviors that are holding them back who:
Have been successful individual contributors, but now struggle to set strategy and vision
Are not developing their direct reports and/or building an effective team
Fail to build effective cross functional relationships
Team Coaching and Facilitation
Team Coaching
Whether you are a newly formed team coming together or an existing team which is struggling to work effectively together, I use assessments and individual and team coaching to help teams:
form strong, effective relationships
communicate clearly
create common purpose and goals
articulate and resolve conflict
genuinely have fun together
Offsite and Meeting Facilitation
Know that you have a team offsite or an important meeting coming up? Keen to ensure that it isn't just another 'boring' day which pays to lip-service to bonding and agreements that fall apart the minute people are out the door?
Let me serve as your meeting facilitator, by creating an atmosphere of openness and trust, allowing your team to share and co-create meaningful agreements and a shared purpose that lasts.
I will work with the team leader before each meeting to clarify the purpose and desired outcomes of the meeting, understand what potential obstacles or challenges may arise and how to ensure a successful outcome.
As facilitator during the offsite or meeting, I will create a positive, open atmosphere, monitor and encourage participation so that the loudest voice in the room doesn't always win, resolve conflict quickly and ensure that there are clear, agreed upon next steps that will drive concrete action.
Systemic Team Coaching
I also provide longer term engagements for teams who really want to get under the hood of making sustainable, long term change within how they operate inside their team and inside their broader organization. How do you keep a team functioning successfully once they are out of their own team meeting?
We will take an in depth look at:
Team purpose and mission. What can this team uniquely do that no one else can?
Key stakeholders and how to meet their needs through communication and collaboration
Setting clear KPIs, objectives, goals
Learning - how the team is learning to evolve to meet the needs not only of today but also of the future.

We are delighted that we will hear the public profession of faith of eight young Christians this Sunday afternoon during our afternoon worship service. We extend an invitation to friends, family, and all visitors to join us as witnesses to the work of God in these young men and women!
After all, in the public profession of faith we see a clear example of the power of the Word of God to bring faith and growth to those who hear it and receive it in humble gratitude. Jesus described it this way: "other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." (Mark 4:8 ESV)

iOS 11 is out today, beginning at 10AM Pacific. I've been using it exclusively on my iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro 10.5-inch since the developer beta was released back in June. I have to say, this is probably the most jam-packed iOS release Apple has ever published. There are so many features, but I'm going to give you my thoughts on the ones I believe are most meaningful and important after using them day in and day out.
Table of Contents
- Shared Updates (iPhone & iPad)
- Control Center
- Files App
- Notifications
- App Store Redesign
- Siri
- Apple Music
- AirPlay 2
- Home App/HomeKit
- ARKit and CoreML
- Small, but mighty features
- Features coming soon
- iPad-specific updates
- Conclusion
Shared Updates (iPhone & iPad)
To start us off, here's a collection of updates shared between iPhone and iPad.
Control Center
This one is sure to be a big crowd pleaser, as we can finally customize Control Center.
On iPhone, Control Center now takes up the the entire screen upon engagement. On the iPad, it sits to the far-right of the new App Switcher (more on that later). 1
It may first seem a little jarring, given the different sizes of elements and methods to control them, but the new Control Center is leaps and bounds better than its previous implementations. All the basic controls are here in similar forms. Here's a rundown:
- 3D Touch is everywhere. Almost every single widget has additional options accessible by 3D Touch (or a long press on devices without 3D Touch).
- Toggling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth doesn't permanently turn these radios off. Instead, it disconnects from your current network or device and only turns the radios off temporarily. Quite a few people don't like this, but I do. I realized most of the time I turn these off, I don't want it to be permanent anyway. Apple clearly wants us to keep these radios on nigh-24/7 to allow for frictionless interaction within its ecosystem (e.g. AirPlay, AirDrop).
- Music: I much prefer this layout, since I can pause/play music without swiping left or right first (old Control Center). There's also a nice little shortcut to get to your audio outputs in the upper-right corner. This makes switching to AirPods or AirPlay a breeze.
- Vertical Brightness/ Volume sliders. SO much better than the old horizontal sliders. They follow the exact same design as the Home app's controls for dimmable lighting, so they should be instantly familiar to some.
- There are a few new optional widgets you can add, all customizable from the Control Center > Customize menu in the Settings app. Here are my favorites:
- Apple TV: Now you can control the Apple TVs on your network right from Control Center. It has all the same functions as the Siri remote, and will also prompt you to type something when you enter a text field on the Apple TV. You don't even need to install Apple TV app proper. I use this little widget so much. It's really fantastic.
- Screen Recording: Quite a surprise from Apple. Pretty straightforward little widget that allows you to record your screen (3D Touch for microphone input option). A red status bar lets you know recording is in progress. Once done, the video is saved to your Camera Roll.
- Notes: Now, you can create a new note with one tap inside of Control Center — even from the lock screen! This makes taking a note on-the-go really fast and simple no matter where you are currently at in the system.
I was hoping for the capability to quickly change Wi-Fi networks from Control Center, but sadly Apple has not deemed it worthy. Maybe iOS 12 will finally bring us this.
Files App
Before iOS 11, we had the iCloud Drive app. It was nice when you needed to get something in iCloud Drive, but that's about it. In iOS 11, iCloud Drive has essentially morphed into the Files app.
I would describe Files as a barebones Finder. It doesn't allow you access to system resources, of course, but it borrows a lot of the same functionality. Right from the app, you can browse all your files: local, iCloud Drive, and other cloud services like Box, Dropbox, etc. By default, most 3rd-party apps will appear in Files with the old document selector interface. Developers will need to update their apps to be fully compatible with the new Files API, which allows them to take full advantage of native navigation and all the other features.
You can tag files for easy grouping, as well as favorite them for quick access. It's simple, but very welcome — especially when working between iPhone and iPad.
This is the most disappointing part of iOS 11, in my opinion. Apple introduced so many nice tweaks in this release, but for some reason, they really struggle with notifications.
Swiping down from the status bar still reveals the 'Notification Center', but it now highly resembles your Lock screen (it shares its wallpaper and big, bold time). Initially confusing, Apple has made a few refinements which mostly leave us right where we left off with iOS 10. You can still swipe left to view actionable items on each notification or swipe right to open the corresponding app.
Throughout the betas of iOS 11, Apple played with Notification Center's UX quite a bit. Initially, it was renamed 'Cover Sheet', but the final version of iOS 11 removes reference to this name entirely. Confusingly, I guess we'll still continue to call it Notification Center.
One new change that has stuck is that older notifications are segregated by a swipe. To see notifications from earlier in the day (or previous days), you have to decidedly swipe up (versus simply scrolling a list). I fail to see how this is helpful since you're still left with the same endless stream of notifications. Apple clearly has conflicting ideas of how this should be handled, but I hope they get it together for iOS 12. I keep wondering how Apple execs can live with notifications in this sad state of affairs.
App Store Redesign
The App Store has been updated with more of a focus on storytelling and discovery. The 'Today' view includes featured apps, along with developer interviews describing how the app was made, the story behind it, etc. This is really great, and it fosters a real sense of careful curation.
Another big change is in the form of separated tabs for Apps and Games. The thinking here is that all games are apps, but not all apps are games. I think this is a very logical change that will make it easier to filter through these categories separately.
One other thing I noticed is in relation to app updates. Apple no longer tells you how large the file size is for app updates, even though the max download size remains 100MB on cellular. With all the optimization Apple has done to help us use as little space as possible on our devices, this seems to be an area they want us to concern ourselves with less and less.
There are a few nice little additions to Siri, like word suggestions while you're typing based off things you've recently looked at. There's also voice translation built in, so you can ask her things like "How do you say 'hello' in Spanish?".
The most obvious change is Siri's voice. It sounds so much better and more lifelike. Apple has discussed the techniques behind this transformation in a recent entry in their Machine Learning Journal.
Siri can also work with more kinds of apps such as notes, to-do lists, and visual codes (think QR). I haven't had a chance to test this out yet, but I'm looking forward to trying out Todoist, which has already been updated to take advantage of the new Siri integration.
Still glaringly noticeable is Siri's inability to work with third-party music streaming apps like Spotify. This is a feature still reserved for Apple Music, and may possibly remain that way for the foreseeable future, as it is a nice selling point for the service. One of the big reasons I switched to Apple Music from Spotify was because of Siri (especially when engaged via the Watch).
Apple clearly has huge plans for Siri, as it is becoming increasingly pushed to the forefront of iOS. Coupled with their strong commitment to machine learning, I'm hoping Siri will run on-device in the near future instead of sending all requests to Apple's servers for processing. You have to think that's one of the main goals, as it would resolve the odd lag times that can be experienced during a Siri request.
Apple Music
Apple is making yet another attempt at social networking-esque features for their music service. 2 This time, it's a little more simplistic. You can follow your friends on Apple Music and see their shared playlists, albums, stations, etc.
That said, the service is still behind Spotify in this area. For instance, there are still no collaborative playlists, whereby you and others can curate playlists together. There's still no band equalizer, a feature I've ranted about before. Apple Music has come a long way since it's debut, though. These missing features are low-hanging fruit, and I would think Apple will address some of them in iOS 12.
AirPlay 2
AirPlay, Apple's proprietary audio syncing and playback protocol, advances to version two. The most notable new feature: simultaneous, multi-room playback across AirPlay 2 speakers on your network.
AirPlay 2 is clearly a necessity of Apple's first connected speaker, HomePod, due out in December. With its sights clearly set on Sonos, I'm looking forward to seeing HomePod and AirPlay 2 in action.
Another feature of AirPlay 2 ties in to HomeKit. Now, you can add AirPlay 2-compatible speakers to your HomeKit environment. This will open the door to native automation involving audio. 3
Home App/HomeKit
As for the Home app itself, you can now set multi-location-based triggers for anyone in your Family Sharing account who has access to your home. This is huge, and will allow for much easier creation of these types of automations. Here's a real-life example:
Turning on certain lights only when the first family member arrives home.
To achieve this currently, I'm using this setup: Life360 app on my phone and my wife's, IFTTT, and the Lurton Caséta app. Life360 continuously tracks our location, IFTTT reads this location data and triggers a scene in the Lurton Caséta app to turn on certain lights only if one of us isn't home already. Get it? This makes sure the lights don't change if my wife is already home or vice versa. This is a fairly easy thing to setup, but knowing how to do it is the problem. It's terribly complicated for the average person to figure out, so I'm really excited we'll be able to do it natively in the Home app with iOS 11. You can also ensure automations only happen on specific dates and/or times, if you wish. There is one caveat, though: you need at least a 4th-generation Apple TV or iPad to act as a home hub.
In addition, Apple is making it easier for hardware manufacturers to make their products HomeKit-certified with software encryption. Up until iOS 11, manufacturers had to meet Apple's stringent encryption standards by means of hardware. This is a large reason why the vast majority of smart home products don't support HomeKit — it was an additional expense, additional engineering, all of the above. Now, manufacturers will be able to easier implement the same high-level of security demanded by Apple within software. We could even see software updates for existing devices that introduce HomeKit compatibility. I'm hopeful for a HomeKit boom in the coming year because of this.
ARKit and Core ML
Apple has included powerful augmented reality and machine learning APIs for developers to use in iOS 11.
Since Beta 1, developers have begun to build impressive apps with ARKit. Not to mention iPhone 8 and iPhone X will offer even more power in this arena, given their upgraded cameras are specifically tuned for AR in the factory.
Machine learning is less of a show-off, but expect developers to take advantage of both of these APIs with haste. AR and ML are huge focus areas for Apple. They are not just the next random trends in the industry, but technologies that will change the way we use computers of all shapes and sizes.
Small, but mighty features
Here's a list of additional little features that kick ass.
New Screenshot workflow with Markup
After taking a screenshot, a small rendition of it appears in the bottom-left portion of your screen. From here, you can:
- Tap it to enter into the Markup view, where you can quickly annotate and send it, with an option to save or delete the screenshot.
- Swipe it away to save it to your camera roll. This happens automatically if you do nothing with it after about a minute.
- Tap & hold it to bring up the share sheet.
This is really awesome and elegant. It also helps to de-clutter your Camera Roll, since you can easily delete one-off screenshots.
Wi-Fi Credential Sharing
When connecting a friend's iPhone or iPad to your network, you can now wirelessly and securely send the password to their device with a press of a button (provided they are in your phone's contacts). Simply be in range of their device with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi one. Once they select the password field for your network, you will be prompted to send it over to their device, and your friend is instantly joined to your network. So easy, fun, and more secure than typing/sharing your password.
Notes Improvements
You can now show ruled lines in Notes (via Settings > Notes). This is helpful on iPad if you use Apple Pencil or other stylus to take handwritten notes. Furthermore, writing with a stylus no longer requires a standalone image aside from your text. Simply write as you normally would on paper, and your markings appear amongst your text. There's also a built-in document scanner (powered by ARKit) that works incredibly well. You can scan documents at odd angles and iOS captures them almost perfectly.
Apple has introduced a few new methods to help us to save space on our devices. For example, we can offload apps from the Settings > General > iPhone Storage screen, review messages with large attachments, or auto delete old conversations. Offloading an app will delete the app's system files, but keep its documents and data around, should you reinstall it in the future.
Photos Face Sync
Labeling people's faces in the Photos app now syncs across your devices with iCloud (privately and securely, of course). This will make for a much better experience since you no longer have to set this up per device.
Password Autofill
This is so damn handy. If you use iCloud Keychain to store your passwords for websites, it can now automatically suggest stored credentials within apps. Imagine loading the Amazon app for the first time and the iOS keyboard recommending your Amazon credentials from iCloud Keychain. This makes signing in lightning fast. Some might say Apple is sherlocking 1Password, LastPass, and the like, but those services offer additional features if you're into that kind of thing. For me, the iOS 11 implementation takes the cake because it's built in and I don't even have to do anything.
Apple Maps: Lane Guidance and One-Finger Zoom
YES. Lane guidance is the only reason I still have longed to use Google Maps, but not anymore. This is super helpful, especially when combined with CarPlay. One-finger zoom is also nice — just double-tap and drag up or down. Apple Maps sure has come a long way. I have used it as my sole maps app since the original Apple Watch launched.
Camera app: Native QR Code Scanning
About damn time. QR codes are great for non-sensitive information, and the Camera app can now detect codes containing website links, contacts, Wi-Fi network connection info, 4 and more.
Automatic Setup
When setting up a new device, you can automatically transfer your base settings from an existing device by bringing it within close proximity`. I tested this a couple times, and it's fantastic. It greatly cuts down on the lengthy initial iOS setup process.
Features Coming Soon
Apple announced a couple features slated for iOS 11 that have since received delays, and are therefore 'coming soon' in a minor update. I'm looking forward to reviewing these once released.
Apple Pay Cash and Card
Person-to-person payments like Venmo or Square Cash. Payments are stored in your Wallet's Apple Pay Card. From there, you can use the card like a debit card in stores or on websites that support Apple Pay. Alternatively, you can withdraw the amount to your banking account. Fees and miscellaneous details are yet to be determined.
iMessage in the Cloud
Instead of all your Apple devices independently downloading iMessages, your messages will be stored in the cloud by default (if you opt-in). Apple promises better notification syncing between devices because of this and less messages-out-of-order oddities.
iPad-Specific Updates
The iPad is on a huge upswing. For the first time in a long time, Apple reported sales are up (15% Year/Year) for Q3 2017, partially thanks to the new, cheaper 'iPad'. Factoring in iOS 11 changes and two incredibly-powered iPads Pro, this has been a great year for the tablet leader.
The features iPad receives in iOS 11 is just short of what many would look for in a standalone iPad OS. I've been a huge proponent of the device since it was introduced and have purchased at least six different versions over the years. I can confidently say iOS 11 course-corrects from the iPad-as-gigantic-iPhone narrative. It doesn't solve every problem, but it's a big leap forward and reassures Apple has not forgotten about meaningful innovation for the device's software.
Drag And Drop (All the things)
This is a big one. Drag and drop is built into iOS at its core. That is to say, you can drag and drop all the things. For instance: apps for split-view, URLs, blocks of text, images, handwritten notes, and more once developers update their apps to take advantage of the new API. Simply tap and hold (briefly), then drag and drop.
I'm selling it short. The truth is it's amazing and incredibly well thought out. You can even start to drag something, switch apps by any means possible, then drop in an app of your choosing. More on this below.
Dock and App Switcher
The revamped Dock is a core feature of multitasking and productivity on iPad. Here's a list of its new features and methods for interacting with the Dock.
- Fits up to 15 apps, depending on your screen size (e.g. iPad Pro 10.5-inch holds 13 apps, iPad Pro 12.9-inch holds 15.)
- Since you can create folders inside of it, you can have a ton of apps quickly at your disposal no matter where you are. Not new, but this is super helpful when it comes to multitasking. You'll see why in the next section.
- Recent apps. On the right side of the dock, iOS will dynamically show apps you haven't manually put in your dock, but have recently used. This enables quick access and easy multitasking for these apps. Hand Off and Siri-recommended apps have also been relocated here to the far-right app slot. For instance, if you want to Hand Off a website in Safari from your iPhone to iPad, you'll see the Safari icon here with an iPhone glyph indicating the Hand Off opportunity.
- Pervasiveness. The dock can now be accessed throughout the system without returning to the Home screen. Simply perform a short flick up from the bottom edge to reveal the dock. From here, you can quickly switch apps or multitask with them. This really makes the dock highly versatile and more important than ever.
The App Switcher has also received a redesign. Here are the highlights:
- Consists of the app carousel, Control Center, and the Dock.
- App previews inside the carousel are now tiled instead of full screen, fitting six on screen at one time for quicker app switching. This is so much better than previously implementations.
- Control Center is located to the far-right of the carousel.
- Accessible from double-tapping the Home button or swiping half way up from the bottom edge (past the Dock).
I really love the new Dock and App Switcher. Combined, they make for a powerful new multitasking experience.
Apple has revamped multitasking on iPad. Split View is still around, where you can have two apps side by side and adjust them in 1/3, 1/2, or full screen increments. Popover is still here, too, where you can float an app above your current one and swipe it away to the right of the screen for quick access.
The new aspects of multitasking include greater flexibility in managing apps. For instance, gone is the endless vertical app carousel use to scroll through and find an app to use in Split View or Popover. Instead, you simply drag and drop a second app into place by its icon. Dragging it to the left or right edge of the screen mounts it in Split View. Dragging it anywhere else makes it a Popover. Other means of accomplishing this include:
- From the Dock: swipe up to reveal the dock, tap & hold, drag an app icon, drop in your current app or switch to another one first in Split View or Popover.
- From the Home screen: tap, hold, and drag an app icon, rinse and repeat.
- You can even enter the App Switcher, hover on top of an open app, enter it, and drop inside.
- From within apps: press CMD+Space on an hardware keyboard to enter Spotlight Search, search for an app, tap and hold, rinse and repeat. This is a really powerful one. I'm curious as to why Apple didn't enable this same functionality when you use Spotlight Search from the Notification Center's widgets search box. In other words, you can't do this with the built-in iOS software keyboard.
It's also worth specifically noting the leftmost app is no longer the "main app" when in Split View. That is to say, you can drag and drop over the left or right app to replace it with another. In addition, you can make the left or right app full screen by dragging the slider all the way to the edge.
iPads with 4GB of RAM or more can run two apps in Split View and a third app in Popover at the same time (in addition to an optional PIP video). To achieve this, simply hold, drag, and drop the third app's icon over the vertical multitasking bar dividing your Split View apps. Note: iPads with less than 4GB of RAM won't be able to take advantage of all these features. iMore has a good breakdown.
The new multitasking UX on iPad is a huge start on what we iPad proponents have been wanting from this powerhouse tablet. That said, there are a few other things Apple can do to move the needle on this feature in iOS 12, such as:
- Multiple instances of one app. This would be helpful for certain apps, but I realize it's mostly a fringe use case. One day, though.
- Ability to save Split View pairings. For instance: being able to launch Notes and Safari in Split View from one tap of an app icon shortcut.
- Better management of Popover apps. Popover apps remain persistent between app switches. For example: if you launch Safari in Popover, then go to another app and launch Safari from the dock, it will reappear in Popover mode within the app you switched to. There are some cases where you forget this and really mean to switch directly to Safari (full screen). It can be a little annoying to either mount Safari as a Split View app first, then drag the handle to make it full screen, or launch Safari from the Home screen. It's not the end of the world, but I have to think there's a better way to manage this.
iOS 11 has my full support. Apple really brought out the big guns this time — and this isn't even everything. Like I said at the top, this review doesn't touch on every feature, but hones in on the most meaningful ones after using iOS 11 for months.
Most people think of iOS as feature-complete, and it definitely is in certain aspects. The truth is, Apple is still finding ways to better the mobile experience. They have added so many great features across the board with iOS 11, it may even be a little overwhelming to remember everything you can do.
iPad was such a huge focus of this update, and I hope they iterate on its new features come iOS 12. It really is exciting to think about the opportunities. The new multitasking and dock experience puts us closer to a 1:1 parity with laptops than we've ever been. We're definitely not all the way there yet, but iPad just took its first big step towards realizing Tim Cook's vision. Putting my money where my mouth is (or hands are), everything I write for Gaddgict is from the Editorial app on my 10.5-inch iPad Pro with Smart Keyboard. Something about doing the same on a Mac feels less compelling than an iPad. I think we're going to see more of this as iPad progresses. 5
If Apple keeps this up, iPad really might be the future of computing for most people.
Note: there are also special iOS 11 features for iPhone X, of which I'll talk about when I've had it in my hands. 6
- I've always wondered why Apple didn't make Control Center a full screen UI to begin with. It's not like the 3/4 UI we had was helpful at all. So we could see 1/4 of our current screen behind the menu — big deal. ↩
- Remember Ping? ↩
- I'm looking forward to hearing Rush's 'Working Man' when I arrive home from work, for instance. ↩
- This one is really cool. ↩
- I love my MacBook Pro and wouldn't trade it for an iPad just yet. ↩
- Hopefully not too long after November 3rd. ↩

NASA BIENNIAL CONFERENCE 2018 - University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music
I Never Saw Another Butterfly - Ellwood Derr
Ellwood Derr's most famous work for the saxophone, I Never Saw Another Butterfly, is a song cycle setting poetry by child-victims of the Holocaust who were held at the Terezin concentration camp. Terezin was a "showpiece" camp, maintained as propaganda for international organizations (such as the Red Cross). Derr's work makes use of several extended techniques in the saxophone and voice, and intense gestures in the piano part. The movements performed today are "Terezin," "The Butterfly," Fear," and "The Garden."
Terezin, that bit of filth in dirty walls, and all around barbed wire, and thirty-thousand souls who sleep, who once will wake, and once will see their own blood spilled. I was once a little child, three years ago, that child who longed for other worlds. But now, I am no more a child, for I have learned to hate. I am a grown-up person now, I have known fear! But anyway... I still believe I only sleep today, that I'll wake up, a child again, and start to laugh and play. Somewhere, far-away out there, childhood sweetly sleeps, along the path among the trees. There, o'er that house which was once my pride and joy. There my mother gave me birth, into this world, so I could weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep.
The Butterfly:
A butterfly, the last, the very last, so richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. As if the sun's tears would sing against white stone. Such, such a yellow is carried lightly, 'way up high. It went away, I'm sure, for it wished to kiss the world goodbye. For seven years I've lived in here, penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found my people here. The dandelions have befriended me, and the white chestnut candies in the court... only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here. In the ghetto.
Today the ghetto knows a different fear, close in its grip... Death wields an icy scythe. An evil sickness spreads a terror, in its wake the victims its shadow weep, weep, weep, and writhe. Today, a father's heartbeat tells his fright, and mothers bend their heads in their hands. Now children choke and die with typhus here... OH NO!!! OH GOD!! We want to live! Not watch our numbers melt away. We want to have a better world. We want to work. We must not die!!
The Garden:
A little garden, fragrant and full of roses. The path is narrow, and a little boy walks along it. A little boy, a sweet boy, like that growing blossom. But when that blossom comes to bloom.. the little boy will be no more.
Voicebox Girl - Martha Sullivan (World Premiere)
Martha Sullivan's Voicebox Girl was written for us between 2017 and 2018. From the composer:
"This is a song cycle with interludes, exploring various sounds that evoke the female voice at various ages, offering new possibilities for vocalization, and encouraging women and girls of all ages to claim their own unique voice. The piano offers support, counterpoint, and textural contrasts to voice and saxophone; the saxophone interweaves its own sound with the singer's, sometimes imitating her, sometimes querying her, sometimes offering a contrasting idea, but always listening closely, creating a space for the female voice to be heard. This piece is dedicated to David, Melissa, and Victoria Wozniak."
Double Vocalise:
Emily Dickinson Sleep is Supposed to Be
Sleep is supposed to be, by souls of sanity, the shutting of the eye. Sleep is the station grand, downwhich, on either hand, the hosts of witness stand. Morn is supposed to be, by people of degree, the breaking of the day. Morning has not occurred! That shall Aurora be, east of eternity. One with the banner gay, one in the red array, that is the break of day.
We Never Know: (Emily Dickinson)
We never know how high we are, till we are called to rise; and then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies. The heroism we recite, would be a daily thing, did not ourselves the Cubits warp, for fear to be a king!

Weekends are good for the soul. Both Saturday and Sunday were 65 and sunny here in my corner of the world. To be fair, March in Louisville means absolutely nothing as far as the seasons go, but I'll take this spring weather where I can get it! We spent the weekend eating TONS of good food (think fish fry, Steak & Shake milkshakes and fries, and The Silver Dollar), getting our house back in order (almost), at an impromptu concert in Lexington, and running around NULU.
It's no secret that a basic striped T is basically my love language. So pairing a simple, neutral outfit with this bright clutch from ClaudiaG was a no brainer! Especially when the colors scream of summer. Yes please!
Do you have any pieces that you always seem to grab no matter what? This green jacket is a go to for me. I'll pair it with anything from a nice dress, to a pair of leggings. Now that I am having to put effort into my clothes at work, I don't want to have to try hard on the weekends. I love how simple this look is, and it's perfect for layering while we anxiously wait for spring!

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Calvin advanced to the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament with a 4-1 first round MIAA Tournament victory over Kalamazoo Saturday evening at Zuidema Field.
With the win, Calvin (10-4-3) advances to the MIAA Tournament semifinals next Wednesday at Adrian in a match scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
In its win over Kalamazoo (9-7-2) Saturday, Calvin withstood early pressure from the Hornets and then turned the tables with a goal against the run of play. The Knights broke through in the 19th minute of play as senior Emily Van Vliet (Grandville, Mich./Calvin Christian HS) pounced on a loose ball near the top of the 18 and whizzed in a shot just inside the left post to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.
Calvin went up 2-0 in the 31st minutes as sophomore Maria VanderLei (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian HS) bent in a corner kick that deflected back to sophomore Jessie Paulson (Plymouth, Mich./Plymouth Christian HS) at the near post. Paulson made no mistake by punching a shot into the corner of the net.
In the 70th minute, Kalamazoo picked up a new life line with a corner kick goal of its own as Kai Ketola deflected in a corner from teammate Sarah George.
Paulson answered exactly two minutes later, ripping a left-footed blast from the right wing that splashed inside the upper 90. The Paulson goal was assisted by Van Vliet on a back-pass. Kalamazoo took the ensuing kick and moved right into the Calvin 18-yard box with Ketola blasting a shot from the right of center that Calvin goalkeeper Amy Kliewer (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Northern HS) was able to parry away for a key save.
Van Vliet provided the clinching goal with just under seven minutes left in regulation as she smacked in a shot on a feed from sophomore Elizabeth Redfield (Cedar Springs, Mich./Northpointe Christian HS) for her team-leading 11th goal of the season.
Calvin finished the game with a 24-11 shots at goal advantage including 15-5 in the second half. Kliewer came up with six saves for the Knights.
"Kalamazoo came at us hard," said Calvin women's soccer coach Emily Ottenhoff. "They came at us a lot harder than they did the first time we played them. We kind of knew we would get that kind of effort from Kalamazoo and props to them for pushing us like that. They probably deserved to get one early against us but that's how soccer goes sometimes. We held them off, got the first goal and that got some momentum on our side. We're happy to get the win. Now we go back to work to prepare for a very good Adrian team. We know we have a lot of work to do but we are looking forward to the opportunity."
Calvin has now advanced to the MIAA Tournament semifinals four consecutive years.

I received a copy of Asking For It in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks to Quercus and Netgalley.</b>
***Trigger Warning: this book deals with rape, sexual assault and victim blaming***
Emma O'Donovan is eighteen years old, pretty and confident. One night, she and her friends go to a party. Emma drinks plenty, takes some drugs, flirts and generally has a great time. The next morning, however, she wakes up on her front porch with no memory of the second half of her evening. Luckily for Emma, though, there are plenty of photos to tell her exactly what happened to her the night before.
I read this book in one sitting, ignoring pretty much everything around me as I devoured it. Emma's story is harrowing and uncomfortable, but it's such an important book in today's climate of slut-shaming, victim-blaming, rape culture and the explosion of social media. I received t a review copy of this book a little while ago, and in light of the recent media commentary surrounding Brock Turner's conviction for sexual assault, it seemed relevant to read it now.
Louise O'Neill describes a situation where a young woman goes to a party with her friends, gets trashed, and can't remember what happened to her the morning after. The aftermath is almost as horrific as the attack itself. Not only does she have to deal with only having a series of sickening photos as her memories of the night, but she is shunned and harassed by her friends and acquaintances and suffers the ordeal of having her case discussed on television, radio and social media.
And the most horrific thing about this book? It's not even fiction. Emma might just as well be the pseudonym for any number of sexual assault or rape survivors who have decided that it's not worth pursuing their attackers, or if they do press charges (and only 15% of those who experience sexual violence do), they find how astonishingly low the actual rate of conviction in these cases is (5.7% of reported cases in the UK end in conviction).
Emma herself isn't a likeable girl. She's deeply disloyal to her friends, she steals, she's vacuous and has an overinflated sense of self-importance combined with cripplingly low self-esteem, judging all the women she knows (including herself) in terms of their looks as opposed to their personalities. So, pretty toxic. And this makes things very difficult as a reader. After all, it's hard to empathise when bad things happen to bad people. And this in turn leads to the uncomfortable realisation that in thinking this we, as readers, are no better than the townsfolk and acquaintances who have ostracised Emma. No matter how rotten the person, non-consent is rape.
So: Emma's acquaintances. Not a nice bunch of people. The only decent people as far as I could tell were Emma's brother and her next door neighbour. The girls and women she knows, who you might expect to have some empathy for her, are amongst the worst of the lot, but I think in some respects it was the attitude of her parents that angered me the most. As a parent myself, I seriously cannot imagine anyone being so concerned by their social standing that they would encourage their child to not report an attack like this. Seriously, if this happened to my daughters, I would be round her attacker's house with a baseball bat and pair of scissors to beat the shit out of them and cut their knackers off. Sadly, I do realise that some people are so weak they would put their own happiness before justice for their child.
There is a lot of discussion around slut-shaming, victim-blaming and the rise of social media. There's also discussion about the nature of consent and how hard it is to gain a criminal conviction when the victim is promiscuous, has no memory of the events knows the perpetrator(s) and has previously consented to sex. This discussion is summarised in a very good online video by Emmeline May likening sexual consent to offering someone a cup of tea (you can tell I'm British, can't you?).
I wavered between 4.5 and 5 stars for this book. Ultimately, I reserve five stars for books that I will definitely be re-reading, and I just don't think I can read Emma's story again. The harrowing nature of it is made even worse by the knowledge that every day rape survivors are facing the crippling pressure that Emma herself faces. I will, however, be recommending it to everyone I know.
4.5 stars

Mass spectrometry data mining for cancer detection
Kong, Ao 1984-
MetadataShow full item record
Early detection of cancer is crucial for successful intervention strategies. Mass spectrometry-based high throughput proteomics is recognized as a major breakthrough in cancer detection. Many machine learning methods have been used to construct classifiers based on mass spectrometry data for discriminating between cancer stages, yet, the classifiers so constructed generally lack biological interpretability. To better assist clinical uses, a key step is to discover "biomarker signature profiles", i.e. combinations of a small number of protein biomarkers strongly discriminating between cancer states. This dissertation introduces two innovative algorithms to automatically search for a signature and to construct a high-performance signature-based classifier for cancer discrimination tasks based on mass spectrometry data, such as data acquired by MALDI or SELDI techniques. Our first algorithm assumes that homogeneous groups of mass spectra can be modeled by (unknown) Gibbs distributions to generate an optimal signature and an associated signature-based classifier by robust log-likelihood analysis; our second algorithm uses a stochastic optimization algorithm to search for two lists of biomarkers, and then constructs a signature-based classifier. To support these two algorithms theoretically, this dissertation also studies the empirical probability distributions of mass spectrometry data and implements the actual fitting of Markov random fields to these high-dimensional distributions. We have validated our two signature discovery algorithms on several mass spectrometry datasets related to ovarian cancer and to colorectal cancer patients groups. For these cancer discrimination tasks, our algorithms have yielded better classification performances than existing machine learning algorithms and in addition,have generated more interpretable explicit signatures.

Sports Mouthguards in San Diego
When it comes to teeth loss as a result of sports-related accidents, the statistics are really rather dire.
With more than 5 million teeth lost during sports-related activities, you have every reason to consider acquiring sports mouthguard. The American Dental Association has estimated that the simple device is responsible for preventing more than 200,000 sports-related injuries every year!
A mouthguard will be an effective protective device in any activity that involves a certain amount of facial injury risk. This does not concern only your teeth as a proper mouthguard will not only prevent teeth fractures but will also protect your lips, tongue and jaw. If fitted as it should be, it will not affect your breathing and talking.
Consult your dentist about the options to have a custom-made mouthguard, as this will provide a comfortable fit and the optimal level of protection.

The Smile Lines Project Summary
My Smile Lines Project is a traveling fine art exhibition of 52 portraits documenting the resilience of US Armed Service Members. Most creative endeavors have motivation as their muse, whether it is the influence of a beautiful model or a personal challenge. My motivation is my love of life, my desire to paint and the fact that 22 Veterans a day are killing themselves.
A portrait to me is an approachable, timeless introduction to a unique personality. Because everyone is different, there will be 52 individual smiles.
Each 16" x 20" oil painting will be accompanied by a statement from interviews giving additional insight into each volunteer's life skills and experience.
The Smile Lines Project is created to celebrate resilience. Through sharing their lines of wisdom, 52 service members representing the 50 states, Puerto Rico and D.C. will offer insight into their smile lines.
Through paint and words I will exhibit a conversation about the skill sets inherent in overcoming life's challenges.
The project is anonymous allowing these veterans to speak freely and deeply about his or her life. No one's service can be weighted against another's. At the end of the tour of the country each painting will be returned to the model with my gratitude.
My project includes the creating of each oil portrait, the framing , insurance, exhibiting, logistics and promotion of the exhibition throughout the country.
By funding the Smile Lines Project you are investing in the creation of an exhibition of
Wisdom, Courage and Strength.
As of December, 36 individual interviews and sittings have taken place.
Thank You!

Former teacher gets 15 years for abusing elementary student
A former teacher was sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing a student at a Heights elementary school in Houston.
The teacher, Miguel Angel Yepez, 41, was convicted of indecency with a child after a trial that ended Thursday, prosecutors said.
"The jury spoke loud and clear," Assistant District Attorney Ashley Guice said. "This is a horribly sad example of betrayal by someone entrusted with protecting our children."
Yepez was charged in December 2013 with the crime, 2 years after the abuse began.
The trial disclosed that during the 2011-2012 school year, when the girl was 8 years old, Yepez groped her at her desk in her second-grade class at Harvard Elementary School.
At trial, the student's mother said she had asked Yepez to watch over her daughter while her family struggled through a divorce.
She felt she served her daughter to Yepez on a "silver platter," the mother said through tears, according to a news release from the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Another former Harvard Elementary student also spoke during the trial, as part of a provision in child abuse cases that allows the jury to hear testimony that demonstrates, among other things, the accused's state of mind and consistency in his or her character or relationship with children, said JoAnne Musick, chief of sex crimes for the district attorney's office.
That former student, now an adult, said Yepez groped her in 2002 while she was attending Harvard Elementary.
In the 2002 case, Yepez was not her teacher. He was a family friend. The suspected abuse happened away from campus, at the apartment where the girl's family lived, according to court records.
The woman said in court that she initially was afraid to tell anyone.
Yepez was charged in 2015 with indecency with a child in connection with the 2002 incident, but the case was dismissed after Thursday's conviction.
Yepez did not appear to have been convicted of any other crimes in Harris County.
"Though this took time, justice has been served," Musick said. "Those who violate the most sacred trust of our community - caring for our children - will be prosecuted and punished accordingly.

"What A Long, Strange Trip Its Been."
- Grateful Dead
My Journey
I figured out what to do with that English degree. It took me a bit to find my 'calling' but once I found it, I embraced it. After working for the Catholic Diocese Of Orlando for several years and helping a local retreat center build a huge online presence, I decided to venture out past the non-profit space. I worked for a few small businesses as their digital marketer and then, 13 years ago, I created On Target. On Target started with a core focus on getting companies found in the search engines through SEO and content creation. Over the years, I evolved the company into a full scale digital marketing agency that specializes in content creation.
Over the years, my team and I have helped hundreds of businesses grow and thrive online, that's all well and good, but I have an overwhelming desire to non-profits and schools grow as well. I've seen how a professional digital marketing presence can impact an Independent school I've watched my team take a brand new shiny school in Tampa, Florida and FILL it, from preschool through 12th grade. I simply love watching a school fill its classrooms and thrive.
I LOVE What I Do
My passion is helping non-profits and schools achieve their missions through using my God given talent. I'm a writer. I'm a marketer. I'm a theologian. I've been in the Digital Marketing space for over 20 years now and have the wisdom, insight and creative chops to help your school grow its enrollment. I love nothing more than watching your school succeed. That's what fuels me.
Hanging out with Benedictine monks
Wow. When I went to school, I WENT to school. When I graduated from Bishop Moore Catholic High in Orlando, Florida, my next stop was in the middle of a corn field in Southern Indiana. I had an inkling that I was called to the Catholic Priesthood, so I applied and was accepted (by the Grace Of God) to Saint Meinrad. Run by Benedictine monks, my love for Literature, Philosophy, Theology, and Creative Writing sprang to life. Those 4 years at Saint Meinrad in "formation 'were the toughest 4 years of my love. I graduated with a BA in English and Communications and upon graduation, had to figure out what in the heck to do with that degree.
Getting My Bearings
San Pedro Center is a slice of heaven in Winter Park, Florida. The Franciscan Friars took a chance with me and hired me to run their bookstore first out of college, run their summer camp program and build their first website. I LOVED my job and helped to create their online digital presence. The digital marketing efforts were quite effective and started to transform their summer camp program, attract new retreatants and rent the facility. I wasn't exactly raking it in cash wise, so I basically started my own "thing".
How Can I Help Your Independent / Catholic School?
Let's be honest here. Competition for private schools is growing and growing. There are new schools popping up everywhere and the Internet has changed the game when it comes to enrollment. If you're finding it harder and harder to fill your classrooms, we should talk. A strong digital presence for your school has to be so much more than a website. To get found and get noticed, you need content, you need social media, you to know your story and you need a website that represents the heart and soul of your school. That's where I come in. I consult with schools and Diocesan Office Of Schools all across the Country to set them up to win. If you'd like to discuss an engagement, OR if you need digital marketing services from an industry expert, we should talk.

When a tooth needs a root canal it's because the tooth pulp inside has become infected. If left untreated, tooth decay can permanently damage the tooth or even cause the tooth to die. If you are in pain and suspect you need a Grand Rapids dentist as soon as possible., we recommend you contact an experienced
In this blog post, we will explain how your tooth might have become abscessed and the kind of restorative dentistry needed to .
What is an abscessed tooth?
You'll know your tooth is abscessed when you feel an ache in the bone around the tooth. Other signs you need a root canal include swelling or redness of the gums, painful gums, fever, and having a bad taste in your mouth.
Abscessed teeth happen when your tooth has decayed enough for the infection to breach the dental pulp inside your tooth. Once the tooth pulp is infected, it can create an abscess in the gums around the tooth. An abscess is a swollen area in your gums that contain pus. If left untreated, an abscessed tooth can cause the tooth and jawbone to deteriorate, creating further pain and damage to your smile. The abscess can also push the tooth downwards, making it looser and more vulnerable to falling out.
What can damage tooth pulp?
Tooth pulp is the live tissue inside your teeth. Most of us can go for years without even thinking about tooth pulp until you experience dental discomfort or pain. Tooth pulp can become infected or inflamed when the tooth undergoes repeated dental procedures. Tooth injuries (such as cracks and chips) and severe tooth decay can also damage the dental pulp in your teeth.
What happens during root canal therapy?
The family dentist will need to do root canal therapy to save the tooth from dying.depends on its severity. If you catch an in its early stages, your dentist can treat it with antibiotics or by draining the pus. However, if the tooth becomes infected, a
The first thing your dentist will do is locally anesthetize the area around the tooth so you don't experience any pain during the procedure. Next, your dentist will drill a small hole near the top of the infected tooth. Through this hole, your dentist will be able to access the inside of your tooth to clear away the damaged and diseased dental pulp.
For good measure, your dentist may flush the inside of the tooth with water and an antimicrobial solution to make sure any remaining pulp is removed. A temporary filling is used to seal the hole until your permanent root canal crown is ready to be placed. The permanent crown will be placed when you come back for your second appointment.
Dr. Yun DDS at NorthPointe Family Dental provides a wide variety of dental services for his patients. If you are interested in learning more about root canal therapy, please feel free to call our Grand Rapids family dentist at (616) 288-6134.

Starting your own construction business is a big challenge, not because of the sheer scope of the work that you'll be doing, but whether it's economical to buy or hire the equipment you'll be using. Some of the necessary tools of the trade are surprisingly expensive, and it may not exactly fit into your budget, waylaying your plans even before you begin.
Although it may seem more costly than simply setting aside enough funding and buying the equipment outright, renting and hiring is actually the smarter and more economical approach for many reasons.
Used Doesn't Mean Bad
One of the main reasons why many people would rather buy than rent is the quality of the equipment. Rental equipment is technically second-hand as you're not the only one using it for construction purposes, but it may surprise you that when you rent, you're technically paying for new equipment.
Most concrete breakers for hire, for example, are well maintained and you'll be paying for less in the long run compared to an outright purchase. There's also the cost of ownership versus the cost of renting. When you buy equipment yourself, you'll also be paying for any maintenance and operating costs, as well as government licensing and insurance to actually operate your equipment.
In contrast, rental and hiring fees are an all-inclusive cost. It may not seem cheaper in the long run, but the cost itself is slightly lower than all the things you'll be paying for when you purchase your own equipment.
Renting and Hiring: More Breathing Room for Your Business
Another reason why hiring or renting is more economical than buying equipment outright is that it gives you some level of financial breathing room for your business. Even when you're just starting out, the workload may start piling up, which means that you'll have to be available almost every time once the clients start calling.
Hiring or renting equipment gives you some financial breathing space, as you won't be pressured to buy all the equipment you need for the project just to make ends meet.
You also prevent unintentionally losing out on an investment. Not every construction project, for example, requires a concrete breaker, so if you buy one and suddenly not all of your future contracts need it, then you've essentially bought deadweight equipment that you'll still be paying off for years.
When you're just starting out in the construction business, renting or hiring equipment is the smarter and more economical choice. You won't just be giving yourself some financial breathing room; you'll also be giving yourself room to expand as a business.

Robert Asplin: 1ST MECHANICAL
We recently sub-contracted the installation of new 100mm diameter chilled water flow and return branches from existing live chilled water main pipes at Auckland Hospital to ABC Pipefitters. The work which required hot tapping, was carried out in a timely manner and included interface with the Hospital maintenance staff, the Main Contractor and an insulation specialist. The work was done to what we see as a high standard and the overall outcome was excellent. We would recommend ABC Pipefitters for this and all other types of pipework installation.

No problems working with you guys again. I have to say your boys have done a good job and made it happen and I would have no hesitation in recommending ABC again to anybody.

After working with the team at ABC Pipefitters on several occasions, I found their willingness to carry out all types of projects, from the assembly of large steel structures, installation of platforms and refrigeration systems, very beneficial to our needs.

The great communication throughout the projects has made the jobs run very smoothly.

We can Protect your data:
This brave new, digitally-connected world that has blown up the barriers between our public and private selves. Privacy whether physical or online, is regarded as a fundamental human right. However, there are limits to how much candour we can take or expect. Moreover, with the exception of those in the most intimate parts of our life, people don't really want to know everything that others think about them, not even do they want to tell everything they think about others, or share it. A certain amount of artifice is necessary if we're all going to get through the day.
However, it feels as though those limits are being constantly breached, either voluntarily, accidentally, by force or by cunning. With blogs, tweets, webcams, Facebook and YouTube, there is always a mic or camera somewhere and it is always running. Our personal diaries have become an open book. We all know, in theory, that all these organizations are collecting information on us, and even that they're using it, ostensibly to "help" serve us better. Again, in theory, we've given permission for them to collect and use our information and in some cases, to even sell or share it with other organizations, with whom we may have no other relationship, and these are law enforcement agencies or well known, usually publicly traded companies we're electing to get services from. There's a whole world of hackers and cyber criminals who are after our data, for fun or for-profit, and they're pretty damn good at getting it.
Same thing happened in the past days, when Facebook a well-known social media platform failed to keep their clients data secure. Moreover, apologizing on national TV and rolling out new privacy policies. In a call with reporters Wednesday, Zuckerberg acknowledged he made a "huge mistake" in failing to take a broad enough view of what Facebook's responsibility is in the world. However, for this reason many countries are trying to make their new data protection regulations, EU is one of them they have passed new regulations for data privacy. The new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to replace the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) effective May 25, 2018. The GDPR is the latest step in the ongoing global recognition of the value and importance of personal information.
Moreover other countries are still working for their Data Protection Regulations, therefore the people and the organizations working in those countries must be panic in order to make their data secure, for them Relliks Systems has find a way. We can help organisations to keep their data safe by using an application name as LinkedToWork. This application has a feature that would give you a security for your data. Moreover, we have many other solutions to this problem for details contact us by leaving your email Id and name in the comment box below. We will be get back to you shortly.

Host the Smoothest Super Bowl Party With This Little Trick
By Josh Suchan, Ice and Alchemy
This year I'm lining up with Wheatley Vodka to bring you the smoothest way to host a Super Bowl. This method works for both bars and home parties and hinges on one little trick, but we will get to that in a second. First, I want to discuss why I'm on team Wheatley for this one.
It's no secret that I have a lot of love for Wheatley Vodka (see my #OnMyBar post from January 2019). Wheatley Vodka is produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery which has been in consistent operation since 1787, under a few different names, producing fantastic bourbons from the very beginning. In 2014, when Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley decided to make a vodka, he used 200+ years of the distillery's knowledge and know-how to develop his recipe, including a heavy dosage of wheat in his mash bill. The bold yet smooth, wheat-forward result is phenomenal. If you love Buffalo Trace Distillery's Pappy Van Winkle and Weller bourbons, both of which are wheated bourbons, then this is the vodka you should have on your shelf.
Cocktail time. Below is my recipe I created for this year's Super Bowl. But before I arrived at the recipe, I first needed to determine what I wanted to accomplish with creating a Super Bowl cocktail. Here were my main objectives:
Low-proof. I want people to make it through the whole game and even remember it. This isn't the time for 2oz pours.
Include beer (as an option). Is there anything more American than cracking open a beer while watching football? It would be a shame for cocktail drinkers to miss out on the de-capping ritual.
Bottled and capped. I want drinks to be accessible, spill-proof (aka no pitchers or punch bowls), and not require glassware. Which leads me to my next point…
Low-workload during the game. I want to be able to mingle and watch the game as much as possible, too, even if I'm working behind the bar.
Now that we have the guiding principles behind the cocktail, let's jump right into the recipe:
The Wheatley Shandy
.75 oz Wheatley Vodka
.75 oz lemon juice
.5 oz honey-ginger syrup*
.75 oz grapefruit juice
.75 oz IPA (or soda water)
.75 oz water
The above recipe creates one bottled cocktail, so multiply as needed. Batch the multiplied ingredients in a large measuring cup or pitcher and pour into the individual bottles. Cap the bottles using crown bottle caps and a capper. Store in the refrigerator Saturday night to be ready to go by Sunday. These will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3 days, and make great low-ABV options for anything from brunch to after-dinner.
Super bowl Home Party Planners: Food for Thought…
If you're throwing a Super Bowl party at your house this year, take cooking off your plate by ordering take-out. It's 2019 and there are countless delivery services going to and from restaurants specializing in any style of food you can imagine. I personally lean towards a healthier alternative during these sorts of events. I find that substitutions like fried cauliflower "wings", cashew cheese nachos, and other plant-based, healthier alternatives balances the fact that I will be a gluttonous couch potato for the next 4 hours of my life.
Wheatley Vodka Snapshot
Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery by the Master Distiller, Harlen Wheatley
82 proof (41% ABV)
10x distilled
3x filtered
Uses Kentucky limestone-filtered water
Winner of multiple spirits competition awards
Honey Ginger Syrup
The most efficient-friendly way to make this is quite simple. To very hot water, add an equal amount of honey. Throw that mixture into a blender with some washed ginger root. The exact amount of ginger will vary depending on how much honey syrup you've made. Blend and taste periodically until your desired ginger "heat" is present. Strain the mixture, store in the refrigerator. Make sure it's chilled before use. Shelf life is 7 days under refrigeration.

NOTE: Combining ingredients like the above can create additional fermentation in the bottle. It's important to not bottle these cocktails more than a day before your party, and to un-cap any leftovers promptly afterwards. The recommendation from Ice & Alchemy is the bottles will stay fresh for three days. Don't let these bottles hang out in your fridge.

The Crane Wife Collection (2013)
I had the pleasure of working on an Honours film production in my first year at university. These three posters were my favourite out of the work I did as a concept artist. It was fun to try something slightly dark and twisted for a change..
Here's a sneak peak of my work process from The Crane Wife image.
I start brainstorming ideas for the poster by sketching quick thumbnails. My only focus is the silhouette and composition of the subject and the overall layout. Yes they're ugly but I'll let you see them anyway...
After that I jump straight into the painting. Here is a work in progress example:
