Clubs play an important role at Tisch. They embody the spirit and diversity of the students through the many programs and activities they offer. Tisch clubs bring together students from different departments, and unite those from the same department. They provide opportunities for exposure, leadership, collaboration, networking, and new experiences.
Whether planning major campus-wide events, producing a publication or show, attending conferences or doing community service, a club develops leadership skills and promotes collaboration between students, faculty, and administrators. Students use their energy, skill, and talent to develop programs that contribute significantly to the Tisch community. For more information about clubs, visit: http://students.tisch.nyu.edu/object/clubs.html.

Sheet 16 (from a set of 21 prints)
From the Catalogue:
Haring understood something of his debt to sixties culture- its public and popular culture and thought, that is, as opposed to its art. On the latter front, he was selective: he adored Andy Warhol, but he was skeptical of the "overrationalization" he found in Minimal and Conceptual art, and worked partly in reaction against it. Of the events and ideas that flowed through American everyday consciousness in the sixties, on the other hand, he wrote, in that same letter to Leary: "I was born in 1958, so while I was growing up I was only aware of the events in the early Sixties through a strange mixture of sources... television, Life magazine pictorial essays, and some associations with enlightened relatives. I was very absorbed and interested, however, and I think affected at a time when my personality and ideology were in their most 'affectable' or impressionable stages."

Bridging the gap between the art world and the street, Keith Haring rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his graffiti drawings made in the subways and on the sidewalks of New York City. Combining the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of Art Brut artists like Jean DuBuffet, Haring developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic centered on fluid, bold outlines against a dense, rhythmic overspread of imagery like that of babies, barking dogs, flying saucers, hearts, and Mickey Mouse. In his subway drawings and murals, Haring explored themes of exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and rising fears of nuclear holocaust, which became increasingly apocalyptic after his AIDS diagnosis. Alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer, Haring is regarded as a leading figure in New York East Village Art scene in the 1970s and '80s.

The G12 has been exceeding my expectations so far. I recently took it out while we went for our weekly shopping. I ended up snapping photos as we were driving. Putting it in Sports mode, I was able to get some very good pictures. The shot with the trees came out especially good. Sitting inside the car, gives the shot a lower level view – always a great position to shoot landscapes. The trees height become evident.
The photo with the glass dome on the inside is from the King Of Prussia mall as we were stepping out. The ornate dome is from a calendar of Aksharadham, near New Delhi in India. This is using the built in 1.4x tele-convertor.

What will they do?
It is sad to see all the tea party birthers with nothing to do now that they have gone down in flames. I see them riding their elephants up and down the streets of San Luis Obispo, holding up traffic as they are not sure which way to turn.
When I told a few of them they were going against the flow, they just looked at me with big sad eyes. Maybe they could start a new group called the GPA (grade point average) Group and check up to see how President Obama got into Harvard at least that might keep them off the streets.

Military used as pawns
How nice to see First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden taping public service announcements on Sesame Street, asking "all Americans to support military families," (April 19). It is too bad that Michelle did not so advise her husband (presumably an American) before he promised to hold back military paychecks if the government had to shut down. This Chicago-style tactic was a completely unnecessary piece of political gamesmanship designed to help him get his way by threatening the very same military families with unneeded hardship. These people have no shame.

Hitler killed Christians
Regarding Dan Krieger's column about holocaust survivor Helena Weinrauch (April 24), he writes: "This Holocaust Remembrance Program is a reminder of the terrible price paid by nearly six million human beings for the intolerant beliefs of a self-avowed 'Christian' Europe."
This statement makes the Christians of Europe complicit in the Holocaust. In fact, after the Reichstag fire and the passage of the Enabling Acts, Hitler assumed dictatorial powers and launched an attack against the Catholic Church. The Catholic Center Party was forced to disband, its members were imprisoned, and the editor of Catholic Action was murdered after speaking against the Nazis. Christian Trade Unions were banned and the Editors' Law closed hundreds of Catholic newspapers. Catholic youth organizations were banned and members forced into the Hitler Youth. Anyone speaking out against the Nazi state was arrested and sent to a concentration camp.
Hitler then invaded Christian Poland. He killed or imprisoned the Polish intelligentsia, closed all schools, churches, etcetera. Five and a half million Poles were killed by Hitler: 31⁄2 million were Jews, the rest Christian.
It is fashionable to distribute blame, but the fact remains that the Holocaust, World War II, and its carnage came from the mind of Adolf Hitler.

Praising Peggy
Lovely tribute to Peggy Peterson by Bill Morem.
I first met Peggy almost 30 years ago when she would come into our store to chat with and solicit donations from my then-boss. Sometimes it was laughing, sometimes it was more serious, but I was amazed how often she left with a check.
As a twenty-something clerk, I pictured myself as just part of the background. I was surprised to find that no matter where or when I ran into her, Peggy always took my hand and knew just who I was. For a young person in a new community, this imparted confidence as well as admiration.
As I got to know her better through the years, she has been an inspiration as to how to serve. One of my friends was involved in fundraising for the Clark Center. As a newcomer to our county, she told me she had paid a visit to Peggy Peterson to "learn at the foot of the Master." Peggy leaves us not only the legacy of her efforts, but lives on in the inspiration she gave to others.

Liberties threatened
The far-right extremists who have taken over the GOP are showing their true colors. The bullying, power-drunk party of "no" threatened shutdown of the U.S. government to push us back into recession.
Why? Is it about reducing the deficit? No. The wimpy Democrats have given them everything they asked for. But that's not enough.
Now they demand the abolition of a woman's right to choose.
The party that got back in power with talk of "liberty" now wants to strip the liberties of half the population. The party that says it wants small government wants to make every woman's body the property of the state. The GOP appears to want nothing less than a religio-fascist state that can provide an endless supply of cheap, uneducated labor for foreign billionaires like the ones who own Fox News.

Blessings to helpers
Recently at the Food 4 Less grocery store, I had an encounter with two good people!
As I walked to my car (with a full basket of stuff — not cakes and goodies), a young woman approached me and asked if she could help put the groceries into my car. She did — I didn't pick up but maybe one bag.
Then a young man approached my car and noticed my windshield was dirty and asked if he could clean it so I could see. Yes, I wear glasses!
He then suggested I pull into the nearby gas station where he followed and washed and dried the glass.
Wow! That looked so much better when he was through.
So, I want to thank those two young ones. (I'm 83 years old.)
There is thoughtfulness in our young generation. May they be blessed and well wherever they may walk.

beading, covering patio cushions, French country decor, French Country Home, how to make piping, how to make welting, jewlery making, lolabelle designs, Maria Montgomery, MiaMia, patio furniture, sewing projects
Our patio furniture is about six years and, until recently, was desperately in need of a face-lift. The furniture itself is in great condition. The seat cushions were another story. They were pretty at one time, but now are faded and stained from years of being outdoors. It was time for a face-lift, so I gave them one. There is another chair, and an ottoman that didn't make it into this photo.
Now that we have a screened-in lanai that, in all but the hottest weather, functions as an additional room of the house, I really wanted to change those cushions. This led to a search of more stores than I can remember, and even discussions with a company that would have new ones made for us. For a price, of course. A ridiculous price, if you ask me.
Next, I began looking at outdoor fabrics. I found the perfect fabric at JoAnn's Fabrics. They had put their $50-per-yard outdoor fabric on sale for $19.99 per yard. I bought all they had, which wasn't nearly enough, but I knew I could order more. Fortunately, the next time I was there, they had more of my fabric, and it was marked down to $8.99 per yard. Oh, happy day! I bought yards and yards of it, enough to cover throw pillows, and the seats to two wicker rocking chairs, too.
Next began the arduous process making decisions, and of measuring and cutting. Did I want to put zippers in the cushion covers? The old ones could not be removed for cleaning, and I definitely wanted removable covers that I could simply toss into the washer. Did I want welting on the cushions? Of course I did — it just looks so much more professional. It would require a lot more work, but I was up to it. Did I want all the furniture (1 settee, 2 chairs, 2 rockers, & an ottoman, plus throw pillows) covered in the same fabric? No. I didn't. I searched for a stripe of the same blue and white to be used as a contrasting fabric, but no luck. So they will all be the same. I was almost afraid to take a pair of scissors to that beautiful fabric, but finally I did.
To make the welting (a.k.a., piping) cut long strips of fabric about 2 inches wide. Two inches is probably wider than necessary, but I wanted the welting to have a good seam allowance so it would be easier to handle. This will vary, of course, with the size of cord you are using. The cording I used is 6/32 inch (4.8 mm) in diameter. Center the cord down the length of the fabric strips as shown above. Fold the fabric over the cording, taking care to match the 2 fabric edges. Then, using the zipper foot on your sewing machine…
sew a seam as tightly against the cording as possible. You will have beautiful welting that matches your fabric. For some of our indoor throw pillows, I think I will try a double welting. Wish me luck.
I began last fall (2013) by covering the back cushion to our love seat (settee) first. Then we were away a couple of weeks for a family wedding, and travel to see all our kids. After that, the holidays came, and so it went. I did no more sewing for months. Then, one day, I decided to put it in high gear and, little by little, the work was finished. We now have what we think are beautiful cushions for our lanai furniture — just the beginning of creating a French Country/Florida decor on our lanai.
Here is one of the wicker rocking chairs that still needs its cushion to be covered, and the ottoman that Bo gave me for my birthday, so I could put my feet up while reading. It will be the last to be covered, because even though it doesn't match, it does blend in far better than the rocking chair seats.
When my daughter was here visiting in June, she and I spray painted that old plant stand at the far right of this photo. We had fun doing that and a lot of other projects such as beading, drying and grinding herbs, and of course, shopping. Lots of shopping. Over the past year or so, whenever we could get together, I have taught her the art of jewelry-making. She has far outdone me, and has made some beautiful pieces that you can see on her Etsy Shop, "Designs by LolaBelle" by clicking right here. Here is a photo of LolaBelle:
Our lanai is still a work-in-progress. I've bought some old shutter-type door panels that I plan to paint and use as a screen to keep out the morning sun. That sun shines right in our faces when trying to sit out there and sip coffee in the mornings. We have decided to glass-in the lanai so we can use it year-round. For now, though, it is the perfect place to start seeds, and to put plants into ICU when needed, and I can hide a few garden tools behind those shutters. Not so sure I will want garden tools behind the shutters after this becomes a room of the house. I guess I'd better start looking for an old chest that I can paint for storing those tools. That little teak folding table that holds the lamp may have to go, too. It's not exactly French Country, you know.
I also still need to finish the drapery valances I began for our bedroom, but before I do any more sewing for myself, I have to finish the pillow covers and table topper I promised to make for my dear friend, Becky.

Midweek wasn't a total bust, two out of three as only Watford let me down. I've no idea where that Hornets performance came from, or the Southampton one for that matter, but that's why we love football… and lose money on it from time to time, the unpredictable swine.
Premier League
Newcastle v West Ham
I looked at this one thinking a West Ham win, but Newcastle's mid week performance against Manchester United could have given them a bit of belief and I'm not sure I want to back against them. Even though neither side have been particularly prolific of late I do think there could be a few goals in this one and both teams to score at 8/11 is my call here.
Aston Villa v Leicester
Is that midweek win over Crystal Palace the spark Villa needed to mount a Leicester-esque survival push? Who knows… but my guess is no. The Universe has conspired to send the Foxes to Villa Park after that second league win of the season as the hosts get renewed hope on their mission impossible but I think they'll by sent crashing back down to reality and will be backing Leicester at 5/4.
Bristol City v Middlesbrough
Sometimes you sack your manager and get a reaction, and sometimes you do it ahead of the visit of the league leaders presumably as it's a game you've written off. I think Bristol City have done the latter here and an in-form Middlesbrough at evens are on my coupon.
Ipswich v Preston
Normally I stick at three but the 7/1 treble above won't dent my sizeable losses so this weekend I'm adding a fourth. Ipswich have struggled at home a bit but have picked up of late and are overpriced at evens to down North End.
The fourfold pays out at just under 14/1, which looks a decent bet to me. Odds may change so take a look at Oddschecker if you are keen to shop around. I am not affiliated with them, or any bookmakers in any way.

Azam Baki: RM1.5b siphoned from Ministry for Sabah projects

KOTA KINABALU: An estimated RM1.5 billion allocation by the federal government was siphoned from a ministry to implement projects in Sabah from 2009 to 2015 said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief commissioner (Operations) Datuk Seri Azam Baki.
He said the amount was part of a RM7.5 billion government allocation which was channeled through a ministry to implement rural projects in Sabah.
"The projects were related to water, electricity and road development and some of the projects may not have been implemented properly.
"We also see elements of corruption in this case. Possibly the contractors involved gave bribes to certain parties," he told reporters here today.
He said over 60 companies would be investigated and the agency would bring those believed to have been involved to court and so far three individuals have been detained.
"We have investigated some of the companies. Some of them have ceased operation and we have sent our officers to locate witnesses involved," he said.
Azam said they received information on the case from the public and began investigating following the Sabah Water Department case last year.
Yesterday the MACC arrested three individuals including a former deputy secretary of a division in a ministry for investigations into alleged embezzlement of funds in a ministry in Sabah. — Bernama

Disclaimer: Glee belongs to Ryan Murphy and Fox, not me.
He'd recognize that blazer anywhere. After all, there were still three of them hanging in his closet at home. He squinted, and he realized that he recognized the guy wearing it. "Hey," he called, picking up his speed to catch up with him. "Hey, Blaine!"
Blaine turned around and grinned. "Sam Evans," he said. "I heard a rumor you went to McKinley. Of course, I also heard you were sent to military school in South Carolina, so I figured you could be anywhere."
Sam leaned against the wall. "Yeah, I just wanted a change from private school for once, so I came here," he said. "How're things at Dalton?"
"Same as ever," Blaine shrugged. "You know how it is." He stared at him, tilting his head to the side. "What the heck happened to your hair?"
"Well, you know, it just…" Sam mumbled. He adjusted his backpack on his shoulder. "So did you hear that we're singing against the Warblers for sectionals?"
"Yeah, I…" Blaine lifted an eyebrow. "Did you just say 'we'?"
Sam flushed. "Yeah…"
"We started trying to recruit you for the Warblers when you were in middle school, you turned us down at least a half dozen times, and then you just pop over here and join the glee club?" Blaine said skeptically. "The glee club isn't even cool here."
Sam scratched the back of his neck. "There was sort of a girl…in the glee club…" he mumbled.
Blaine laughed. "I figured it had to have been something like that," he said. "You were always pretty girl-crazy. Let me guess…blonde cheerleader?"
"Yeah," Sam sighed. "Head cheerleader, actually."
"Wow, you are totally a walking stereotype," Blaine snickered. "The blond quarterback and the blonde cheerleader." He clapped him on the shoulder. "Congratulations, your children are going to look like Precious Moments dolls."
Sam shrugged his arm away, still blushing. "Yeah, well, it's only been a month or two," he mumbled. He cleared his throat. "So…what are you doing here at McKinley? Spying on glee?"
Blaine sighed. "Not exactly," he said. "It's more because…someone else spied on the Warblers."
Sam choked. "Kurt actually spied on you guys?" he said. "Wow. I thought he was just BS'ing us."
"No, he definitely did," Blaine said. He leaned in. "Also, seriously, don't send him on anymore espionage missions. He's not very good at it."
"I probably could've gone myself," Sam confessed.
"Or you could have at least let him borrow a uniform," Blaine pointed out. "He was wearing these plaid short-pants things. Not really good at blending in."
Sam laughed. "Kurt isn't really one for that," he said. "He kind of…stands out."
Blaine slid his hands into his pockets. "What's Kurt like?" he asked curiously.
Sam shrugged. "He's, uh…he's smart," he said. "And a crazy good singer."
"Really?" Blaine said. "Like…what kind of singer? Are we talking a Brandon Flowers type voice, or a Michael Buble type voice, or-"
"How about…an I-actually-thought-he-was-Faith-Hill type voice," Sam suggested.
"There's a reason he sings all the high parts," Sam said. "He's really good, though. Definitely one of the best guys we've got. Although I've heard that you should never ask him to sing anything by John Mellencamp, but no one will tell me why."
"So he's a good singer," Blaine mused. He blinked and shook his head. "Anything else you know about him?"
Sam shrugged. "Kurt sort of keeps to himself," he said. "I mean, he sticks around glee and kind of talks to people…but he's not really friends with people, if that makes any sense."
"Oh," Blaine said quietly. "That makes sense." He cleared his throat. "Do you know anything about Dave Karofsky?"
Sam did a doubletake. "Seriously?" he said. "What does he have to do with anything?"
"It's just…I've just heard some stuff about him," Blaine said, waving his hand dismissively. "So…what's up with him?"
Sam shrugged. "He's a hockey player," he said. "Big guy. Not so bright, but he's tough. He's sort of famous for initiating the slushie facials."
Blaine made a face. "The what?" he repeated.
"There's a serve-yourself slushie machine in the cafeteria," Sam explained. "The jocks like to get the jumbo cups and toss them in nerds' faces."
Blaine winced. "That's disgusting," he said.
"Eh, it's not that gross. Just cold and wet," Sam shrugged. "But it's how I got Quinn to start talking to me, so it's not that bad."
Blaine gave him an odd look. "I'll just let that slide," he said. "So this Karofsky…he bullies everybody?"
"Yeah, kind of," Sam said.
Blaine crossed his arms. "Does he pick on Kurt especially?" he asked.
Sam tugged thoughtfully on his earlobe. "You know…I don't know," he admitted. "I know that a couple of days ago he shoved him into the lockers when he was walking to rehearsal with Tina, and he was really upset about it."
"How can you tell when Kurt's upset?" Blaine asked curiously.
"I don't know…he gets all blotchy and crap," Sam said. "I guess…" His voice trailed off. "Wait. Hold on a second. Are you…is this because of Kurt?"
"I gave him my number when I caught him spying, and he called me because he was upset over some stuff that was going on," Blaine explained. "I just came to help him."
Sam grinned fiendishly. "You like our gay kid," he said.
"Well, you know, it's-"
"You're not still dating Jack, are you?"
"No, that ended after the incident with the dictionary."
"And I heard you had a fling with the lifeguard over the summer, the one with the-"
"Oh, Alex? We were never really going out."
Sam crossed his arms and smiled smugly. "Oh, sure," he said. "This hilarious. Somehow you, the guy who managed to track down and date every gay guy his own age in Westerville, has got the hots for the only gay boy in Lima."
"'Got the hots'?" Blaine repeated. "Who says that anymore?"
"You can't deny it," Sam said. "And you do know he's like, completely innocent. He hasn't even kissed anybody yet. Although Brittany claims she kissed him, but I don't know if I believe that, because it's Brittany and she…oh, you don't know her. Never mind, it won't make sense."
"Yeah, I did know that," Blaine said.
Sam elbowed him playfully. "And now you just want to corrupt him, right?" he snickered.
Blaine smiled. "Not really," he said. "Kurt's going through some hard stuff right now, and I don't think it would help things if I…you know…"
"Tried to put the moves on him?" Sam offered.
Blaine screwed up his face. "Yeah, I guess," he said.
Sam shook his head. "You must really like him," he said.
"What, uh…what makes you say that?" Blaine said.
"Come on," Sam said. "You asked Travis Helmsworth out three days after he broke up with his boyfriend."
Blaine shifted his weight uncomfortably. "Oh, yeah, Travis," he mumbled.
"Listen, I don't know much about Kurt, but I am pretty good friends with Finn," Sam said. "He's told me some stuff about Kurt. He's kind of…well, he acts tougher than he is, you know?"
"I know," Blaine said softly. "Look, I know I sort of have a reputation for dating around, but it's always been casual. I actually…I think I actually like Kurt." He bit his lip. "Wow. I don't know why I'm telling you this."
"Yeah, me neither," Sam grinned. "Especially since Kurt totally tried to hit on me when I joined glee. He thought I was gay, for some reason."
"Well, you do dye your hair."
Sam rolled his eyes. "Listen, I won't tell anyone about your whole…crush on Kurt thing," he said. "But Finn'll kill you if you mess around with him. And I've met Kurt's dad once. He'll kill you worse."
"Thanks. Good to know," Blaine said. He checked his watch. "I've got to head back. But…can you do me a favor?"
Sam held up a warning finger. "I'm not telling you our setlist," he said. "You haven't met Rachel. She's terrifying."
"It's not about glee," Blaine said. "Can you keep an eye on Kurt? He's going through a lot more than you guys think."
"Yeah," Sam said, frowning slightly. "Sure."
Blaine punched him lightly on the shoulder. "See you at sectionals," he said. "The Warblers are totally going to kill you guys, by the way."
"Rachel Berry will die before you that happens," Sam laughed. "See you around."
He watched Blaine walk off towards his car. This is probably the weirdest conversation I've ever had, he thought. He headed inside as the bell rang. His class was over, but it was just study hall, and his teacher probably didn't even notice he was gone.
He walked down the hall, running through his conversation with Blaine. Should I tell Finn that he's got a crush on Kurt? he thought. No…no, that wouldn't end well.
The noise in the hallway was suddenly cut by the sound of rattling lockers. He glanced up just in time to see Karofsky storm through the crowd, leaving someone slumped against the wall in his wake. It was a someone in a blue jacket and dark jeans, and he recognized him with a start.
He pushed against the flow of traffic and put his hand on Kurt's shoulder. "You okay?" he asked.
Kurt looked up at him, his eyes dark in his pale face. "I'm fine," he whispered.
"Has he been messing with you?" Sam asked.
"I'm fine," Kurt repeated. He rubbed his temple where his head had connected with the metal wall. "Thanks, Sam."
"Don't mention it," he said as Kurt pulled away. He watched him walk down the hall, clinging to the strap of his messenger bag like it was a lifeline.
A pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist from behind. "Who are you looking at?" Quinn asked.
He rubbed her hands. "Nothing," he said. He twisted her around so she was facing him and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
She rubbed her thumb against his cheek. "You're making that weird face again," she said. "You okay?"
"Yeah," he said. "I just had a really weird conversation…what do you know about Kurt?"
She blinked. "I made you swear you're not gay," she said.
"I'm not, I'm not," he said. "But Kurt is…I don't know, what's up with him?"
Quinn sighed. "Honestly, I don't know," she said. "He was a lot different last year. A lot sweeter, and he smiled more often."
"Really?" Sam said, wrinkling his nose. "He wasn't always such an ice queen?"
Quinn shrugged. "Not really," she said. "Nobody knows what's wrong with him. Not even Finn." She frowned. "Why are you acting so concerned about Kurt?"
"Uh…it's just…he's just getting picked on, and it just looks like it sucks pretty bad," he said. The bell rang, and he kissed her quickly. "I'll see you later, okay?"
"Okay," she said warily, still giving him a strange look as he walked away. But he didn't notice. He was lost in his own thoughts.
I wonder if Blaine could make Kurt nice again, he wondered. He shook his head. Matchmaking was not his strong suit, especially when the couple involved one of the coolest guys in his old school and an ostensibly bitchy, secretly vulnerable boy from his new one.
I think I know where my old yearbooks are, he thought. Maybe Kurt would want 'em.
That didn't count as matchmaking, did it?
No way.
Author's Notes:
The end of this sort of spiraled out of control, but oh, well.
I just started thinking...Sam went to Dalton. So he probably knows Blaine. So...would Blaine and Sam talk? I decided um, yes.
I don't think Blaine's a manwhore or anything. I just think he's really confident, and that it would a lot easier for him to go out on dates. So he probably just went out on a bunch of casual dates with a bunch of guys. But now he's met Kuuuuuuurt, and now he's in loooooooove, and...I ought to stop talking like this.
I also think it's funny to imagine that no one bothers to tell Sam anything about what happened the year before (read: the first season of Glee) and so they just mention stuff and when Sam asks about it they're all just like "oh, it's a long story, never mind."
I also think that Sam could conveniently give Kurt his old yearbooks, so there's actually a sensible reason as to how Kurt got a picture of Blaine in his locker.
So yeah.
This is mega random, but I hope you enjoyed it!

Murder, it seems, makes a good digestif. At least this was the idea behind, Clues which made a new addition to the Restaurant Week 2013 menu.
The Stella Maris Dance Ensemble's 20th Season of Dance was a mature, diverse and entertaining showcase, presenting a testament in movement to the maturity of the group and its members.
The Commuting Students bubbled to the top of the 2013 Tallawah Festival, taking home the night's top honours with the three-hander Osisi Abathathu (an excerpt from The Escape of Three Sisters).
This Restaurant Week (November 8 - 16, 2013) diners can choose to have an order of theatre with their meals as new production house Peculiar People teams up with The Pantry Ltd to serve up Clues a dinner and theatre event. Though dinner theatre is no strange occurrence, albeit a rare one i
It is probably a testament to the architectural skills of whomever built the Jamaica Pegasus, that the building was not completely destroyed by the riotous laughter emanating from the ballroom on Monday night, November 4, 2013.
Earl Warner's Man Talk, as the name suggests, is a gathering of men talking - in bars, on cricket pitches, around domino tables, at funerals, in electronics stores and other stereotypical sites of male bonding. It is men talking to men and about men.
Jamaican actor David Heron has earned himself the enviable task of tackling the role of one Shakespeare's lesser known, but no less valued heroes, Coriolanus.
The Stella Maris Dance Ensemble has turned 20, stepping out of their teenage years and deepening their status as one of the premier Jamaican dance troupes for young dancers. The 20th season of dance will feature guest choreography by Neila Ebanks, Toki Gonzalez and Dr.
Aston Cooke's Jonkunnu Jamboree, recently staged by the University Players under the direction of Michael Holgate, is an entertaining melee of dance and music. And yet it could be so much more.
Derek Walcott's poem 'Earth' was transformed with music and live sculpture through the combined artistry of sculptor Toby Grant and the dance and choreography of Neila Ebanks. The two engaged in a six-hour collaboration between the two artists that had passersby slowing down or coming over.

The European Film Awards 2016 were even closer to us this year as not only do we share with the European Film Academy the support and diffusion we give to European cinema, but also at the last edition of SEFF we learned the names of the nominees at a gala held as part of the festival, and later we learned that Seville will be the host city for the 2018 edition of the European Film Awards ceremony. Antonio Muñoz, Delegate for Urban Habitat, Culture and Tourism at Seville City Council announced the news along with Mike Downey, Vice President of EFA and José Luis Cienfuegos, Director of SEFF, at the press conference for the awards presented at our 13th edition.
Going back to the 29th edition of the EFA Awards, held in the Polish city of Wroclaw last Saturday, 10th December, the Awards List included several of the films seen at SEFF 2016. The top winner, with five awards, was 'Toni Erdmann', by Maren Ade, which won Best Film, Best Director, Best Script, Best Actress (Sandra Hüller) and Best Actor (Peter Simonischek). The director Maren Ade admitted her amazement at the success of her film at the start of the gala: "I still don't really understand it. My film lasts three hours, it isn't exactly a comedy and I admit the nudity scene is very uncomfortable". Despite its director's amazement, 'Toni Erdmann' has convinced the members of the European Film Academy, the Fipresci Jury in Cannes, the SEFF audience (who awarded it the Grand Audience Prize) and the Eurimages Jury, which also gave it an award at the 13th edition of SEFF. 'Toni Erdmann' is a story that defends the freedom to be oneself and the courage to break with appearances and social protocol. And all that with a narrative as daring and unconventional as its characters, in which humour and poetry go hand in hand.
Other titles that were seen at SEFF in the EFA section and received awards are the Finnish film 'The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki', by Juho Kuosmanen, which won the Fipresci Award; 'Land of Mine', Best Photography Award (Camilla Hjelm Knudsen), Best Costume Design (Stefanie Bieker) and Best Make Up and Hair Styling (Barbara Kreuzer) and 'The Student' (Best European Composer to Ilya Demutsky).
The remaining awards went to 'A Man Called Ove', by Hannes Holm (Best European Comedy), 'Fire at Sea', by Gianfranco Rosi (Best Documentary), 'My Life as a Zucchini', by Claude Barras (Best Animation), 'Suffragette' (Best Production Design for Alice Normington), 'The Commune' (Best Editor for Ane Osterud and Janus Billeskov Jansen), '11 minutes' (Best Sound Design for Radoslaw Ochnio), Leontine Petit (Eurimages Eurepean Coproduction Award), '9 Days: From my window in Alepo' (Best Short Film), 'Body', by Malgorzata Szumowska (Audience Award), Special Honorary Award for Andrzej Wajda, Lifetime Achievement Award for Jean-Claude Carrière and European Achievement in World Cinema for Pierce Brosnan.

and suitable for all fitness levels. Plus, there is a support vehicle the whole
way! This itinerary takes you from north to south and covers several major
attractions along the way, including the picturesque fishing town of Hoi An ,
the former Imperial capital of Hue and the vibrant metropolis of Saigon . The
scenery is particularly breath taking and by traveling by bicycle you'll have
the chance to meet a multitude of people.
Day 1: Arrive Hanoi
You will be met on arrival and transfer to your Hotel. Group meeting and welcome
dinner. (D)

being then adjusted and fitted with our own equipment as required. A short ride
to Tu Duc's tomb may be possible during the afternoon. (B, L)

hope to visit the Citadel and the Thien Mu Pagoda. We then get on a bus to
Danang before cycling on to the World Heritage town of Hoi An. (B, L, D)
Day 5: Hoi An
A free day to explore the fascinating riverside town. Hoi An is a charming,
quaint fishing town that can easily be explored on foot (or bicycle!). Some of
its many attractions include the Chinese Assembly Halls, the ancient ancestral
homes, and tailors' shops. There is also the pleasant Cua Dai beach 4 km from
town. (B)
Day 6: Hoi An - Quy
We travel by bus to Quang Ngai where we cycle 10 km into the district of Song
My, to the better known hamlet of My Lai . After visiting the simple memorial
and museum we ride back to our buses and then travel to Qui Nhon (B, L, and
Day 7:
Quy Nhon to Pleiku (via An Khe)
Today is one more challenging day as we head inland off Highway 1 and tackle the
uphill road on Highway 19. We will only expect to part-cycle this, a gain of 750
meters over a distance of 186 km before reaching Pleiku (alt. 785m). Pleiku is
in an area of the Truong Son mountain range (running much of the length of the
country) which is home to some of Vietnam 's 54 hill tribe minority groups.
Day 8: Pleiku -
Buon Ma Thuot
Today's part-cycle is on an excellent road, Highway 14, taking in 197 km of

parks on our way to the largest town in the Western Highlands , and the capital
of Dac Lac Province . (B, L, D)

by the sea. We can plan to return via one of the local fishing towns for the
freshest seafood lunch available. (B, L, D)
Day 11: Nha Trang -
We begin today on with 95 km to Phan Rang. The cycling is excellent, made easier
by the often-present strong tail wind. After lunch we then start the bus ride to
Dalat. Dalat is situated at a height of 1500 meters and thus attracts a cooler
climate. (B, L, D)

Songwriter of German origin Peer van See brings us stories of the world that we are thrown into: of living disenchanted beside the ugliness we know on the one hand, to being curiously cleansed by the beautiful facets of humanity revealed to us by the other.
In terms of sound, Peer van See combines German Liedermacher, a form of German Song, with elements of Indie and an electronic approach to sound. Music to reflect in, not resign to. Sounds and melodies to carry us not bore. Either with a full band, solo, or anything in between: Peer stands apart from the crowd in his desire to promote German sung music with his intricate wordplay sung in his native tongue. This gives his music a passion and other-worldly nature that is not often found in Manchester and the UK.

George Bartisch is best known as the German ophthalmologist who wrote the mammoth textbook Ophthalmodouleia, printed in 1583. He wrote several other books, most of which were never published. One that he self-published is on Venice Theriac of Andromachus. Common theriac has a long history in medicine from just after Hippocrates. It initially was used for venomous snake bites but later was used for poisonings too. By Bartisch's time it was considered a nearly universal cure-all. In the book, a multitude of ophthalmic and general diseases are listed and then the dose of Theriac is given. Bartisch warned against the many inferior types of theriac available through unscrupulous traveling salespeople. He offered the superior Venice Theriac for sale, compounded by himself in Dresden, Germany, where he resided.
George Bartisch, the famous German ophthalmologist, published a booklet in 1602 on the Venice Theriac of Andromachus,1,2 which was a then well-known cure-all. His reputation now rests on his book Ophthalmodouleia, printed in 1583,3 which was the first comprehensive ophthalmology text in a modern language. It was written in a dialect of Early New High German and was directed toward the layman and surgeons. This is in distinction to the then standard works in Greek, Arabic, or Latin, which could only be read by physicians who had medical training. This training, however, did not generally include ophthalmic surgery. The surgical sections were then meant to improve the level of care provided by ophthalmologists to people with eye afflictions. Detailed prescriptions were included to allow the layman to prepare the mostly herbal remedies for those occasions when a trained person was not available.
Although the treatments he recommended are long out of favor, the essays he wrote that begin each disease section are commonly quoted in the historical introduction to modern papers. The color illustrations, especially of Bartisch preparing to couch a cataract or a strabismus patient with a full head mask to straighten his eyes, often will be shown at the beginning of a talk on new ophthalmic surgical procedures.
Bartisch was born in Königsbrück, Germany, in 1535.4 Because of poor finances he was unable to attend medical school and instead apprenticed himself to learn ophthalmology and bladder stone surgery. He was proud and pleased with his chosen profession and frequently felt called upon in his writings to clarify the difference between trained ophthalmic surgeons and other untrained practitioners. Treacle salesmen were especially singled out for his contempt.
Treacle as a loose synonym for theriac has an etymological history beginning with the Greek therion (a wild beast) and the Greek theriake (antidote for a beast attack, especially snake bites). In Latin this became theriaca (the medicine often made with viper meat) with the Vulgar Latin triacula and the diminutive theriacula. In Middle English it was triacle, and finally in English it became treacle. Today, treacle also refers to molasses, and in Bartisch's day these products were often sweetened. Here, for clarity, Theriac will refer to Venice Theriac of Andromachus, which Bartisch was mostly concerned with. The noncapitalized theriac will refer to the host of similar compounds then being sold for the same purposes. However, they were much simpler in their preparation. Bartisch believed that a few of these had value. Treacle will refer in a derogatory way to the bogus products Bartisch mentions with intense scorn.
Treacle salesmen were discussed with a warning to unwary patients. People were to watch out especially when the salesman had long hair. Such people were often posing as foreigners who brought Theriac with them from Venice, when actually they had never been more than 30 miles from their hometown.5 Speaking about how an ethical ophthalmologist practices, Bartisch says he "should have the manner and habit that he does not praise himself or think that he alone can do it or he is the first and foremost and the best." The ostentatious garb and fake splendor of treacle salesmen and other practitioners with their many horses and servants do not meet this ethical standard. "Many people not only are disgracefully and easily cheated (by the treacle salesmen) and pulled in, but also the people overestimate them. Finally the people are ruined and die." Treacle salesmen contributed to the misery of the masses.
Throughout much of Bartisch's career he was an itinerant ophthalmologist with Dresden, Germany, as his home base. He would follow a certain route to be in town during a fair. Early in his career he was assigned a position on the outskirts of the market with the "former henchmen, old hags, ruined shopkeepers, rat catchers, and treacle salesmen" who were offering the same services. As his fame grew and especially after the publication of Ophthalmodouleia, Bartisch achieved a privileged position at the markets when he traveled and as the court ophthalmologist at home in Dresden. He had dedicated the work to August, the Elector of Saxony, and presented him with a copy of the book, hand colored by Bartisch himself. This did much to win favor in court. At that point he had the proper licenses and passports as well as a wealth of testimonials and the Saxony seal of good will. This enabled him to get a stall at the various markets. He was then spared the embarrassment of being compared with treacle salesmen, who had the habit of quizzing the locals about residents with vision problems, then visiting those homes claiming to have been sent by the lord of the manor to care for his unfortunate peasants. The peasants paid the fee though in advance.6-8
The book on Theriac was published at a more sedate time in the life of Bartisch. In Dresden he was the court ophthalmologist, and he received a regular stipend for this. He had trained his son, Tobias, in ophthalmology and the art of surgery, and they were in practice together. His fame had spread so far by this time that there is even a record of the Queen of Denmark writing to ask about the magnificent reports of his great skill.
Bartisch was a prolific writer, yet getting financial backing for his books remained a problem. Ophthalmodouleia sold very well and earned him vast respect, but it was self-published in the first edition. Although few of them survive, he is said to have written at least 16 other books on topics such as hernias, anatomy, and dreams. At least 2 of the books were in verse.9Kunstbuch, which is about urinary tract stones, was unpublished in his lifetime due to the lack of a publisher. The Theriac book, also self-published, was probably issued in a very limited edition and is extremely scarce now, with only one original copy available in a US library.
Bartisch died in 1606, but many of the skills and medicines he described in his books lived on and were still believed to be valid hundreds of years after his death. Today, he remains as one of the major figures in ophthalmology.
As a popular medicine, theriac has an approximately 2000-year history, beginning as a cure for venomous bites.10,11 Nicander,12 in the second century BC, wrote a long poem about theriac addressed to the King of Pergamum, who was notorious for testing remedies on prisoners and servants.
In the first century AD, Andromachus took many of the ingredients of mithridatium (a popular antidote for poison) and the earlier theriac compounds and importantly included vipers.13 He called his medicine "Tranquility." It was believed to be effective against snake and other venomous bites and stings of insects. It was a general antidote against poisons and pollutions, and it was used for all manner of general ailments as a curative and preventive. Andromachus wrote his formula in a poem dedicated to Nero, who seemingly was most interested in its properties as an antidote against poisons.
In the next century, Galen (131-201 AD) wrote about various theriac compounds, but his favorite was the Theriac of Andromachus.13 This preparation was compounded by Galen for the Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, who took a daily dose of it to protect against poisons and to aid in ensuring good general health. After Galen, medicine entered a time of minimal advancement, and with his blessing the Theriac of Andromachus maintained a privileged status as the preferred theriac. The basic formula as it existed through the centuries was fairly stable, consisting of vipers, opium, wine, honey, cinnamon, and about 60 herbs.13-15
In the 12th century, Venice had become known as having a premier quality of Andromachus' Theriac. A religious and medical festival was held there each year for the preparation of the authentic Theriac. The compound, once prepared, was a rather soupy mix, and it was stored in a cool, dry place to mature. Seven years was a common time to wait until using Theriac.
In Bartisch's time, Nuremburg, Germany, routinely had a similar 2-month festival in honor of Theriac conducted by the government. Queen Elizabeth I was a regular taker of Theriac, primarily as a prophylaxis against poisoning. Also, in the 1600s, the King of France had his apothecaries breed vipers so that Theriac could be made locally.10
In the early 1700s, the Pharmacopoeia Officinalis of England15 called the Theriac of Andromachus a "grand medicine"; however, this honored place for Theriac and the whole class of drugs referred to as theriac all came to a halt after the publication of Antitheriaka by W. Heberden in 1745.16 His attack on theriac as an unfounded polypharmacy of conflicting ingredients was very effective, and by the close of that century Theriac was taken off most formularies, although it survived here and there in India and a few European cities.
Bartisch's 44-page booklet about Theriac is a simple document.1 His picture is the only illustration (Figure 1). This frontispiece shows an elderly man handsomely gotten up. Being a resident inhabitant of Dresden with people coming to him was clearly preferable to being on the road. There are no direct Greek quotes, although Latin terms are used. The history of Theriac is explored, but the book lacks extensive discussions and histories of diseases. The introduction directs a venomous attack at treacle salesmen. He bemoans the gullibility of ophthalmic and general medical patients, particularly simple farmers intent on saving money. Bartisch is clearly exasperated with the situation but ultimately blames the simple peasants too for their unthinking false thrift. However, he realizes that he will not change people and concludes with a proverb: "Why feed a cow nutmeg when it will fatten up on oat straw."
Bartisch does not set a price for his Theriac but says that the price of treatment depended on the prosperity of the patient. A full can of a bogus product obtainable from treacle salesmen at the market was 3 or 4 pfennigs. In his tract on theriac in 1596, J. Graman, a German physician, offered a quality theriac at a much higher cost, with about 4 doses of his theriac selling for 1 German thaler.17 It is difficult to be precise about local economies, but a cow could be purchased at about this same time in Germany for 5 thaler.18
The main part of the book is a listing of ophthalmic and general diseases followed by the dose and mode of administration of Theriac, which was generally given with wine but could be taken dry. A patient might, in addition, be bled or take the baths or a sweating treatment, but taking Theriac was central in the way to a cure. He does not give the formula for Theriac. The multitude of difficult-to-obtain ingredients made it impossible for a layman to compound this medicine, unlike most of the simpler prescriptions in Ophthalmodouleia. The way for someone in Dresden to be sure of getting the bona fide product was to get it from Bartisch. On the other hand, he gives away treacle salesmen's secrets by listing the formulas for some of the bogus preparations.
In Ophthalmodouleia, he identified himself only as a surgeon who performed eye surgery and operated on urinary tract stones. In the Theriac book he described himself in what may be a grammatical laxity as a physician as well. This would, however, explain the expansion of his practice of ophthalmology to include the whole host of medical diseases he lists.
Bartisch believed that people were sinful children of Adam and Eve deserving punishment in the form of being subject to horrible diseases, including blindness. God was merciful, however, and allowed Theriac to be available to physicians to aid the tribulations of humankind. "People particularly should use this noble Theriac . . . , who with age are polluted with much phlegmatic, cold, spoiled and melancholic, old, misplaced, fouled humors."
In Bartisch's Theriac text, more than 70 major categories of treatable diseases are listed. Venomous bites and poisons of all kinds did particularly well with Theriac treatment. General ailments also were to be treated, such as problems of aging, headaches, strokes, epilepsy, memory difficulties, and various organ failure diseases.
In the ophthalmology sections he describes the same melancholic, cold, foul humors as also causing vision problems, particularly with age. Dizziness was commonly associated with a visual sensation of spinning. This was treated with Theriac in creeping thyme and wild marjoram water. Dark, cloudy, weak, and dim vision problems were all linked together as age related and were treated with a pea-sized dose of dry Theriac eaten each evening. Blindness could come from a rising up of evil vapors from the stomach. A polluted head and deafness also went along with this problem and were also treated with a daily dose of dry Theriac.
In Ophthalmodouleia, he does not specifically use Venice Theriac of Andromachus, but he does list several other theriacs of the finest quality as useful for the ophthalmic disease conditions just mentioned. In both books he is revealed as a caring doctor who wishes that quality medical care were more standard. Although he did not have a classical education, his medical knowledge was broad, and like others in his day, his physiology was based on Galen's traditional explanations. Bartisch firmly believed in the usefulness of his treatments and was humble in his status as a mere vehicle through which God might bring relief to the sufferings of humankind.

The Problem
In the Spring of 2014, the Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary partnered with Joe Smith to revamp the signature Leadership Development Experience of its first-year MBA curriculum. Most MBA programs are struggling to distinguish themselves while meeting employer expectations. Joe Smith designed and taught a curriculum that helped W&M address those challenges.
While the Mason School's leadership course has long been a first-year hallmark, the legacy curriculum was built upon a theory-focused, largely lecture and case-drive model that included some confined practicum experiences.
The Mason School Leadership Competency Model, researched and formulated upon key marketplace needs, was yet to be applied within the context of real-world business challenges as part of instruction. Students were learning about leadership in a void, and because today's business landscape is ambiguous and constantly changing, they were unaware of and unprepared for many of the challenges they would face upon graduation.
Our Solution
To evolve course, we turned the more traditional approach on its head and developed a program grounded in contemporary leadership behaviors and problem solving skills that requires small, dynamic teams to identify existing wicked business problems and work to solve them. Teams practiced proven leadership methods, design thinking techniques, and innovation skills all within the context and pressures of a burning challenge that no one had figured out. Students learned to ask better questions, conduct empathetic stakeholders analysis and prioritization, research expansively for inspiration and opportunities before crafting and vetting solutions, and finally use strategic storytelling to communicate their results and engage belief.
Along the way, students identified their own leadership strengths and gaps in the context of what employers want and then wrote leadership development plans with their teams and executive mentors. They applied and experienced working on their development plans with real-time feedback from their team and mentors within business contexts. By the course end, students were armed with an approach to problem solving that could be used in the real world, had gained insight into their unique leadership styles and competencies, and were ready (and excited) to articulate the value they will bring to a future employer.

Dual exclamation points and all.
Durarara!!, from the gang who brought us the also highly recommended Baccano, is about a dullahan working as a courier in modern-day Ikebukuro in Tokyo while seeking her stolen head.
The head games are epic, up there with Death Note and Code Geass.
The animation is superb, especially the magnificently accurate representations of Ikebukuro. (Those Brain's Base guys do good work.)
And the music! As epic as the head games! Things I was particularly impressed with:
- The use of celtic-influenced themes in honor of Irish Celty
- Action themes that were fitted to the length and pacing of the action scenes (unlike in, say, certain shounen anime where there's a predefined set of themes that are inserted full-length into action scenes even if they're a little too soon or run a little too long; it's doubtless one of the benefits of only making a single season)
There's a delicious heap of in-jokes. Books and anime and manga and Tokyo and otaku and... Like the main character's password for the network site is baccano. And when we first meet the most obvious otaku characters, they're carrying a standee of Holo from Spice and Wolf; later, they offer to torture a guy using methods from whichever manga he chooses.
And the bad guy is ambitiously, delightedly psychopathic. I'm impressed.
I seriously wanna hang out with the people that create these characters. They're twisted in all the good ways.

* Compelling adventure with an environmental focus
* An informative natural and cultural history of one of our last wild coastlines
* Author is a pioneer in "packrafting," an emerging trend in backcountry travel
In June 2007, Erin McKittrick and her husband, Hig, embarked on a 4,000-mile expedition from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, traveling solely by human power. This is the story of their unprecedented trek along the northwestern edge of the Pacific Ocean-a year-long journey through some of the most rugged terrain in the world- and their encounters with rain, wind, blizzards, bears, and their own emotional and spiritual demons.
Erin and Hig set out from Seattle with a desire to raise awareness of natural resource and conservation issues along their route: clear-cut logging of rainforests; declining wild salmon populations; extraction of mineral resources; and effects of global climate change. By taking each mile step by step, they were able to intimately explore the coastal regions of Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska, see the wilderness in its larger context, and provide a unique on-the-ground perspective. An entertaining and, at times, thrilling adventure, theirs is a journey of discovery and of insights about the tiny communities that dot this wild coast, as well as the individuals there whom they meet and inspire.
