I recently was able to hear their upcoming release from Windsurf/SHOCK alumni Sorcerer, and i couldn't be more excited to get that one in the mail in April. My first introduction to Windsurf was from a 9dw remix of Weird Energy, but i was super into it. I checked out their first Windsurf EP after that and was super into that, and everything i've heard from the Weird Energy album was fantastic and exactly the kind of super-pretty, ambient downtempo-y, house-y shit I wanted to hear.
Well, wither way, this new Sorcerer release is is on the same kind of wavelength. It's got a little more of a deep house feel to it, but it's still super upbeat and proves to be even more accessible than the Windsurf material. I've always been a sucker for the simple two-chord structure, and this record has got that in spades. No matter how far away it gets, both the title tracks keep themselves firmly grounded within that structure without ever getting monotonous. The remixes get a little deeper than their original counterparts, but never lose the spirit of the record's intended feel. Check out the sound samples here:
Step Pyramid/Universal Vision EP
Either way, his recent release on Catune is super good and worth grabbing now if you can find a copy. Like the Sorcerer record, it has a deep-yet-accessible feel to it, especially if you're familiar with any of the records coming off of the 100% Silk record label out of the States. Again, you can check it out here:
Geek Chic/Radio Lollipop EP
A little more detective work has proven that he is worth investigating further:

I like to think that the as yet bit of as yet unpublished won't be forever. But the more time passes, the more the publishing industry seems to contract with the recession and the harder it seems to be to get a foot in a door that's barely open a crack. Sometimes I wonder who I have to sleep with or murder in order to tick enough boxes on the "marketability" questionnaire. I'm not a celebrity and I haven't been on Big Brother.
I've been writing since I was a child. I wrote my first novel (an attempt at crime, as it happens) at the age of about fourteen – I've no idea of the word count as it was all laboriously hand-written in a rather fancy notebook. But more followed and I like to think I've learned along the way. I write fantasy too and have managed to get a YA fantasy novel as far as an acquisitions meeting, but persuading the marketing departments to part with hard cash is always the stumbling block.
My crime/psychological thriller novel Hamelin's Child was long-listed in the Debut Dagger, but even that doesn't open doors. It's had some great praise from editors and agents alike, but it gets harder and harder to persuade those-who-hold-the-purse-strings to take a chance on an unknown. And yet crime fiction appears to be booming; the bookshelves are full of it and the public is buying it.
So what can be done in the meantime? I'm building a "profile". I've entered the Alibi short story competition. I go to festivals and conferences when finances permit. I network on Facebook, though I've never quite got to grips with Twitter. Authonomy is another good place to be – HarperCollins electronic slushpile (www.authonomy.com) has its drawbacks but it's a great place to upload work for feedback and meet like-minded people. I've also had a go with Webook's PageToFame (www.webook.com) – an American site that's somewhere to show off work and get an insight into the x factor needed to hook a reader in the first paragraph or page of a novel.
Other than that, I guess I'll have to think about infamy rather than fame! How long do you get for murder? Could I take my laptop inside with me?

NOAA, Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute launch new lionfish web portal
Introduced into the southeast Atlantic through the U.S. aquarium trade in the 1980s, lionfish have been spotted as far north as southern New England and are firmly established in a range from North Carolina to South America, including the Gulf of Mexico. Lionfish, which are considered an aggressive threat to native fish populations throughout their range, have recently expanded throughout most of the Caribbean in a time span of less than five years.
Lionfish are found in nearly all marine habitats in the Atlantic along the Southeast United States and in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean waters. Densities of lionfish have surpassed some native reef fish in many locations. (Credit: NOAA)
"Lionfish may prove to be one of the greatest threats of this century to tropical Atlantic reefs," said NOAA ecologist James Morris, Ph.D. "As the first reef fish invasive species to this region, lionfish have clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of Atlantic reefs to marine invasions. With the lionfish web portal, coastal managers, scientists, and the public can work together to manage and better understand the lionfish and its economic and ecological impacts."
The Invasive Lionfish Web Portaloffsite link provides scientifically accurate information for coastal managers, educators and the public on the lionfish invasion and its impacts by providing training videos, fact sheets, examples of management plans, and guidelines for monitoring. The authors of the web portal include NOAA scientists and policy experts, non-profit environmental groups, academic scientists, and coastal managers from the Southeast U.S., Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico who together bring decades of experience fighting the lionfish invasion.
One of the new site's special features is an interactive front page that includes live Twitter (#lionfish), Flickr, YouTube, and Google news feeds, image and video contests, a lionfish distribution map, and a lionfish discussion forum designed to promote discussion and inquiry.
"The lionfish web portal was built to bring together scientists and coastal managers to share information and gather resources," said GCFI's executive director Bob Glazer. "We are confident that we can control lionfish in many places such as marine protected areas, sanctuaries, and other conservation areas if the many strategies and tools provided on the lionfish web portal are used."
Invasive lionfish continue to cause ecological damage along temperate and tropical reefs from North Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean islands to the Atlantic coast of South America. Coastal managers are working to catch and control lionfish in some conservation areas using methods such as adopt-a-reef programs, paid or volunteer removal efforts, fishing derbies, and commercial harvesting of lionfish as a food fish or for other end uses including the aquarium or jewelry trades.
This project was funded by the U.S. Department of State's Office of Conservation and Water. Collaborating partners include NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), GCFI, REEFoffsite link, the International Coral Reef Initiativeoffsite link, and Oregon State University.
The Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Instituteoffsite link promotes the exchange of current information on the use and management of marine resources in the Gulf and Caribbean region. GCFI endeavors to involve scientific, governmental, and commercial sectors to provide a broad perspective on relevant issues, and to encourage dialogue among groups that often operate in relative isolation from one another.
The U.S. Department of State's Office of Conservation and Water coordinates the development of U.S. foreign policy approaches to conserving and sustainably managing the world's ecologically and economically important ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, drylands, and coral reefs, and the species that depend on them. To learn more, join the State Department Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs on Facebook and Twitter.

Asst. Engineer's Personal Log
Posted on Fri May 19th, 2017 @ 12:53am by Lieutenant Junior Grade Kira Shiryankin
FYI: This log takes place after Ens. Kira Shiryankin's first duty shift.
Asst. Chief Engineer's Personal Log, computer append appropriate stardate.
I have been aboard the USS Eclipse for a while now, and just put in my first duty shift as the Asst. Chief Engineer. I spent a lot of my time getting acquainted with the systems of the ship ... not because any of them were new to me, at least not by and of themselves. I am quite familiar with the systems onboard a Galaxy Class starship. However, I have found that each ship, even ships of the same class, will have their own unique eccentricities ... their own personalities for lack of a better word ... in part because each ship is exposed to different experiences over its lifetime. So I have spent some time studying the duty record of the ship, looking over the past damage reports, and personally checking some of those systems myself.
Sure, damage is repaired and such, but how and when? In the heat of a battle situation, it might not be possible to completely repair a system, but rather, the DC crews simply patch it toegther and log the system to be looked after once the alert situation is concluded. Of course, the command staff is almost never informed of this, but it happens ... and even delays in completing the repairs on a system will show up on a micro scan of the systems at a later date.
Fortunately, none of the systems I checked on the Eclipse look to be in bad enough shape to need to be completely replaced, but I will continue to check things when I have spare time.
In my off-duty time, I took more of a look around the ship ... not to look for micro-damage, of course, but to look at the various recreation activities available. The holodecks continue to be on the cutting edge of current technology, which is interesting, considering how much time and energy is put into those systems. I guess what they used to say is true ... work hard, play hard.
Depending on what happens tomorrow, I will be either running a diagnostic on some of the primary systems, or continuing to survey the secondary systems. I have had a number of offers for some help, which I will take advantage of, otherwise, I will never finish anything asked of me.

We haven't seen straight lad Josh for a few months and I though who better than to fuck him than newer lad Ricky who fucks his first guy! What a great job he does, he is always up for a good time and he strips and sucks Josh before bending him over and shoving a dildo up Josh. He does a great job at breaking in Josh again, though before long Josh is getting Ricky's long and thick uncut cock in doggie and judging by how hard Josh stays, I think Ricky's cock is reaching the right spot! The lads do some great fucking and there are some fantastic shots of Josh's erection bouncing up and down as he rides Ricky. After lots of fucking Josh unloads all over his leg and before long Ricky explodes, shooting cum over his head! Wow I think they both enjoyed this! Click here to see the shoot

Not all "sauce packets" were created equal ... Tean's rocks!
Glad I brought back a few of these packs from Malaysia ... easy to prepare ... add in any vegs you like, my preferred choice being sauteed potatoes and sweet corn, and halved button mushrooms (Sometimes I put in sliced carrots too!), with about 1 kg of chicken ... and half our later ... voila, a delicious comforting meal!

Elizabeth Anne is a stunning example of Braidbars traditional boat with portholes which has a modern design and is gas free. Built on a 66 ' Tim Tyler Trad-style hull, she boasts a bow thruster and hybrid engine both of which can be operated by a single remote control. The saloon has an elegant multi-fuel stove and L shaped dinette that converts into a full dinette for 4 people and then breaks down into an occasional bed.
The simple design in the galley compliments the hi tech appliances. An induction hob, a hide & slide oven, and integrated microwave contrast beautifully against the oiled solid oak worktop. Two pull out units next to the oven give good access to space which would otherwise would be difficult to get at. Two large low level cupboards either side of the Belfast sink are good storage areas that are lit automatically when the doors are open.

Shaking hands with a Cactus and Serenaded by a Rattlesnake–
When most people think of Moab, they think of the adventure that awaits them: mountain biking some of the most technical and fascinating terrain there is, rafting the winding Colorado River, or hiking through the neighboring National Park that is reflected on almost every Utah license plate there is, Arches NP. In retrospect though, the adventure I most loved took place in a lesser known State Park that overlooked Canyonlands NP. Dead Horse SP will not only live in my memory, but serve as a future point of reference when reminiscing about my time in Utah. The name itself is unforgettable because it lends itself to a history whence hundreds of horses dove off a cliff in search of the water that lay below on the Colorado river. They were trapped there by the angry locals when settlers came in to take over. Tragically, they fell to their death in search of their dying of thirst.
Deserts do have a way of highlighting the extremes and complementing the utmost preparation. Waking up at 5 am to avoid the summer heat that late June was only one of the many factors of this adventure, but it brought me edge of the precipice at sunrise which set the red cliffs aflame and cast shadows akin to an Ansel Adams photograph. I paused and took what I like to call a bike selfie–just the bike and the beautiful backdrop–classic Strava photo of sorts.
The ride brought technical terrain, and jaw dropping desert scenery, but also hysterics–both laughter and a few tears. I rounded a corner and heard the ever familiar rattle of the venomous rattle snake. Being the leader, I rode to a safe space and waited for my buddy to round the corner, heart pounding–luckily nothing came of it. However, something came of an observation later on. Right as my cycling partner observed that there was no poison oak, my front wheel slide out from under me and I landed palm first in a cactus. Stunned I ripped my hand instantly away, but those pesky thorns when right through my glove and part of the cactus came up with it. I made a surprised guttural sound as the sting began to settle into my nerves. She began laughing to the point of tears, and I, shed a few in light of the fact that I had to ride with my hand like this all the way back to the car for a pair of tweezers. Despite the sting, and the song of the rattlesnake, I still turn back to those moments as some of the richest memories in Moab.

The education industry is undergoing a shift wherein fast emerging global trends are shaping local dialogues around learning outcomes, education delivery and consumption, content and its value. Many of the global trends are influenced by factors including technology, policies and international economic realities. Some of the global trends driving education are :
Personalization of learning that revolves around the trainer designing and delivering a learning experience suited to each individual learner's preference. While small-scale personalization is possible in a traditional instructor-led classroom, delivering personalization at scale is also possible with technology.
Massification is the mass adoption of education by the suppression of its distinguishing features. It is more prevalent in developing economies where the opportunity to scale is large and where it implies building a lean operation to suit the local culture. Massification combined with personalization creates the possibilty of an infinitely scalable teaching-learning opportunity
Competence is the human resource terminology for the ability of the individual employee to make an economic contribution. Companies globally are now starting to distinguish between qualification and competence and are leveraging novel avenues to access a less qualified, yet highly competent workforce. What long-term implication this has on the temples of qualification - universities - is yet to be determined but change is inevitable
Internationalization is an institutional imperative, not just a desirable possibility and many institutions are moving to implement geographic expansion at scale. Internationalization of education institution is increasing the breadth of clientele served reshaping their intended outcomes and reforming their institutional ethos. Some examples are the Yale-NUS program, the INSEAD campus in Singapore, The Schulich School of Business in India and the NYU campus in Abu Dhabi.
Policy Stagnation in the face of these trends hampers local education delivery. In a knowledge-based global economy where relevant and personalized education is possible at scale, policy related barriers can get in the way of students benefiting from these trends. Policy here refers to national, local and employer HR policies.
This ongoing disruption in the world of education presents both global opportunities and local challenges. The challenge to learn "on-the-fly" and adapt to a wave of disruption is faster than what most educators are willing to accept. While there is a theoretical opportunity for developing nations to leapfrog the current "brick-and-mortar / instructor-led training" model to one that leverages technology to enable greater accessibility, all stakeholders including professors, students, parents, administrators and policy makers face a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Separating long-term trends that will "stick" from hype-driven products and services is a challenge being faced by investors keen to participate in this transformative stage of the sector's evolution. KIES 2014 – "Global Trends, Local Realities" aims to debate/discuss global trends in the context of local challenges.
This Symposium is a platform for building capacity, consensus and relationships between five critical stakeholders:
- Educators
- Private Enterprises (i.e. Investors & Educational Enterprises)
- Policy Makers
- Impact Champions (i.e. Donors, Impact Funds & NGOs)
- Future business leaders (MBA students & alumni)

Fishing in Flamingo
Trip Info
This week I only had one trip but it was a good one. I fished out of flamingo this week and it has been a couple months since I have been down there and I had forgot just how beautiful it is. It was a nice change of pace to fish somewhere other then Biscayne bay and I can't think of a better place then Flamingo. Between the drive through Everglades national park to get to the boat ramp and then all of the breathtaking scenery while you are on the water is what makes it a truly magical place. The morning started off with a nice boat ride through some thick fog to get to our first spot. The fog was so thick in the morning you could only see about 20 yards in front of the boat. The entire boat ride you could not see anything until all of a sudden the mangrove shorelines seemed to come out of no where letting us know we had made it. The first spot did not produce much and after a few minutes we picked and moved to our next spot. On the first cast we hook up to a nice Snook that weighed over 10lbs but as we got the snook boat side before I could net it and get it into the boat a bull shark came out of no where and bit the fish clean in half right in front of us. It was heartbreakng to see that happen to the fish but that's all part of fishing in flamingo and happens more then you would like. On our second cast we hook up to a nice size red fish that gave us a good fight before we got it to the boat for a quick pick and release. After releasing the red fish we proceeded to catch red fish and black drum on just about every cast for the next our or so. Most of the fish were around 20 inches, not monsters but they kept the rods bent and everyone busy fighting fish. We fished a couple more spots before we headed in and caught more small black drum, lady fish and the elusive cat fish. The weather was beautiful and the fishing was just as good and it ended up being a good day on the water. Water temperstures are perfect for fishing in flamingo right now and I look forward to getting back and enjoying some more good fishing. So BOOK YOUR TRIP TODAY!!!!!!!

Travelnotes: Cambodia
Cambodia is a sweet, slow moving country about ten years behind Vietnam. It still lives, however, in the shadow of its past Khmer Rouge in several senses. First and most prominent to me is that it has an over reliance on foreign funding. Many developed countries applaud the UNTAC agreement as helping to establish some level of governance in the country, but the reality is it did what it could, then wiping its hands clean in the interim period, post conflict and pre Cambodian self rule.
The Cambodia People's Party has almost absolute power in the country, giving the strongest opposition party Sam Rainsy Party a hard time. The foreign community has poured tens of thousands of dollars into the local community, through international NGOs and partner NGOs within the country. They work closely on a number of core issues, mainly on human rights, advovacy and capacity building on development, youth, education, and so on. This has created a sort of buffer effect for the Government. Whenever a particular issue emerges, the international community acts as an in between for the Government and local NGOs. Donor aid is lucrative and so good relationships have to be maintained between them.
It is the strength of the CPP party that bulldozes its way through, perpetuating corruption within Government and not having to answer for any of its mismanagement practices. They are still very popular amongst the rural folk, because they never fail to promise greater development to their local communities. They also invoke the past – bringing up their ability to correct the mistakes of the Khmer Rouge regime – to instill fear amongst the people (forgetting that many of the leaders within Government were themselves party to the violence instated). Note: The Khmer Rouge Tribunal is taking place right now, although money from the Cambodian Government is running out.
Visiting the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Prison, one can only envision the torturous cries of the people. One particularly poignant story told was that of a friend whose relatives were completely wiped out during the Khmer Rouge years, and wanting to experience fully what took place, camped out on the corridors and rooms of Tuol Sleng alone. Imagine the kinds of emotions coming upon him that night; the terror of the mind, the rising sadness of a fast-fading memory.
What perturbs me is the divide between the foreigns and locals, even if they are fighting the same cause. Although all work incessantly on transparency, human rights, democracy and so on, the international community tends to adopt a slightly elitist attitude. They hang around the same posh pubs and restaurants, whilst the locals go to different pubs and eateries. Sometimes I really wonder which community it is that runs the country apart from the CPP (at local levels).
They are still a very cermonial country, with the Royal Palace taking the primary spot of property in the city of Phnom Penh. And the parks, a heritage of the French, are peppered all over the city, creating a relaxing environment for locals to hang around and take wedding pictures at. These are long strips of grass with benches and flowers, near roundabouts and wide roads with cars that go at snail pace – another reason why there are no accidents despite the horrible driving there!
Restaurants and little boutique shops are shaped out of old bungalows along little roads, and are the most quaint places to stop at. I can understand a foreigner's fascination with this place – a hub for tourists to hang out and chill. The arts community is really quite creative as well. This is the right country for someone who wants to spend a couple of months finding him/herself, with relatively cheap cost of living.
Whether or not foreign aid in Cambodia is sustainable is the question nigging at my mind. I'm not sure whether this model works, but having said that, numerous Cambodians have been individually equipped with skills and expertise. Also the rise of local groups and organisations working on developmental issues is impressive. I just hope they will be able to sustain themselves in the long run. Reliance, or over reliance, on the foreign community is perhaps not the best model.

You fail to mention the problem of child prostitution in Cambodia. This is a horrendous problem, a hell on earth – I think the next worst monstrosity to genocide. I would not mind Cambodia having a strongman government, dictatorial even, if NGOs could cooperate with the Cambodian Govt in sincere and effective efforts at destroying and stamping out child prostitution in that country. A simply horrendous occurrence who horror cannot simply be described in words.

Those compounds that have passed the preclinical phase are tested in human beings (clinical research).
This kind of research has significant associated issues of a scientific, ethical, social and economic nature.
This kind of research has significant associated issues of a scientific, ethical, social and economic nature.
In all developed societies it is mandatory to prove the efficacy and safety of drugs before commercialising them, a task that is fulfilled by clinical trials.
Clinical trials are defined as research studies in human beings to determine or confirm clinical, pharmacological, pharmacodynamic effects and/or detect adverse reactions and/or study the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of a drug in order to establish its safety and efficacy.
Clinical tests are based on documentation, both national and international regulation and a series of ethical codes, declarations and international conventions.
Over the last fifty years hundreds of thousands of compounds have been produced, but only 10% of them have passed clinical evaluation, and even within this group some of them were withdrawn after being put on the market due to safety and efficacy reevaluations.
The methodology of clinical research can be carried out via one of the following procedures:
▣ Experimental: In experimental tests, researchers design the study, select the patients, establish the treatments and variables to study.
▣ Observational: Researchers are mere observers, without altering or intervening the habitual clinical practice.
Within the experimental tests, we find:
▣ Randomised trials. In these trials, patients are allocated to one treatment or another (often a placebo) in a random way. This is the procedure demanded by regulatory agencies to avoid bias in data interpretation before giving the authorisation to market the drug.
▣ Non-randomised trials. Here, patients are not allocated randomly.
Among the observational studies to develop the complete efficacy and safety profile of a drug after its commercialisation, we have:
▣ Case-control studies. Participants are chosen according to they have or not a certain disease and it is investigated if they were exposed or not to a factor of interest. The exposed group and the control group are compared.
▣ Cohort studies. The frequency of a sickness is compared between two populations, one exposed to a risk factor and the other population are not.
▣ Cross-sectional studies. They examine the relationship between an illness and a set of variables in a certain population at a given point in time.
Clinical trials chronologically go through three phases until achieving marketing authorisation for the drug. Once the drug is commercialised, it begins its phase IV, which lasts the whole lifespan of the drug. In Phase IV the drug can be removed from the market if undesired effects, not detected in the three previous stages, are identified.
These new side effects can be discovered when the drug is distributed among thousands of patients.
These new side effects can be discovered when the drug is distributed among thousands of patients.
The measured efficacy in these real conditions is called effectiveness to distinguish it from the efficacy measured prior to drug distribution on the market.

For the uninitiated, anime can be confusing. It's full of tropes, determined character types and over-the-top plot lines that can be confusing, even off-putting to newcomers. To hook newcomers, a show has to hit that sweet spot of fast pacing, strong plot and a memorable soundtrack. Does Studio Bone's adaptation of My Hero Academia hold up as a show ideal for beginners? Let's take a look.
How does My Hero Academia hold up?
Unlike the most popular shōnen shows, My Hero Academia will be 23 episodes long. As such, the plot cuts straight to the point – everything the main character does either furthers the story or provides background to the world he lives in and the people he meets.
The overarching plot can be summed up very quickly. In a world full of people with superpowers, Midoriya has none. Midoriya's goal is simple: become a hero. He's an instant underdog, made more likable by his unyielding focus and desire to make his dream become reality, no matter what. The other characters may be a little simplistic, but every one of them, particularly his idol, All Might, is relatable and has realistic motivations.
There are no Dragon Ball-style filler episodes. Every fight is over in under two episodes, animated with a breath-taking fluidity that lets the viewers FEEL the power and effort in every attack. Coupled with a fantastically energetic soundtrack, the battles leave the audience on the edge of their seats. Even though the good guys will probably win, in the heat of the moment, it feels like anything could happen.
This is a series best watched in a couple of sittings. The audience is aware that Midoriya and his friends are just students, unprepared for the brutal world outside of their school. But watching them grow from newbies to elite fighters is half the attraction of this show. The teachers' fight sequences give a glimpse of the power they will one day have.
The Verdict
At its heart, My Hero Academia is a story about fulfilling ambitions in the face of adversity. Its cast is lovable and well-rounded, story intense and well-paced and soundtrack, phenomenal. My Hero Academia's one of the best shows this season, and sure to be a great anime for a beginner to watch. There's more than just Attack on Titan out there.

Not Harleys. Smarts. CAR recently let a few of its readers submit questions to former F1 driver Coulthard, and naturally, someone asked what "normal cars" he owns. His reply:
A couple of Smarts, a Mercedes M-Class and G-Class, an Infiniti FX45 - I brought that in New York with Jenson Button about four years ago and shipped them to Monaco. What else? A 1971 280SL Pagoda roof - same age as me - and that's it. I don't have anything sporty because I drive F1 racing cars for a living.

My friend J. asked me how and when do I have alone time? And what do I do with said alone time?
If I can, sleep! 🙂 As I've said before, even using the bathroom or while showering I'm not alone. Depending on my work/school schedule, the only time I'm alone at either house is when Scot and Alan are at work. Oftentimes though, this just means that i sleep or play with the kitties before getting up and getting ready to go.
I'm alone in the car a lot; and since school is 40mi one way from my house (13 from Alan's), and work is about 20mi, I'm in the car for pretty good stretches at a time. I crank up the radio and sing loudly.
When on my lunch break at work I try to read or write, but even then I'm still not alone. When you work in the mall you're constantly surrounded by people.
If I have time not at work or school, and I have some down time, I sleep, read, do homework, watch tv, etc. But that doesn't happen too terribly often 9at least currently).
so as of right now, I barely ever have alone time. Maybe eventually I will. The problem is, even if I do get alone time, I don't really know what to do with myself. Ha!!!
So yeah…that's about it for that question…. next?

Do you want to see contemporary art that is surprising, challenging and intriguing? Such engaging artworks await you at the Eiteljorg Museum's new exhibition Native Art Now!, which opens the weekend of Nov. 11-12.
As home to one of the nation's best collections of contemporary Native art, the Eiteljorg will showcase some of the most visually compelling pieces it has acquired over the past two decades. Native Art Now! will be on exhibit at the Eiteljorg until Jan. 28; then it will travel to other museums around the nation.
So what exactly distinguishes contemporary Native art from other contemporary art?
"The difference between a contemporary artist and a contemporary Native artist is about 15,000 years," explained Jennifer Complo McNutt, curator of contemporary art at the Eiteljorg. "Contemporary Native artists have knowledge about their ancestors, traditions and cultures that spans thousands of years. That changes the way you see the world."
Native contemporary artists had not received the same recognition as other contemporary artists, Complo McNutt said, but now the contemporary Native art field is coming into its own, admired and appreciated by scholars and collectors alike.
That brings us to Indianapolis. To help support and sustain contemporary Native art, the Lilly Endowment Inc. for two decades has supported the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship. Every other year since 1999, the Fellowship program has selected a new group of five Native artists and provided them grant support to further their careers and receive recognition. The Eiteljorg has purchased more than 200 contemporary works and received gifts of another 200 to add to its permanent collection. Thirty-nine significant examples are in Native Art Now! and will be on view in the museum's special exhibition gallery.
Dynamic and vibrant, the exhibit depicts the broad spectrum of Native art. You'll see installations, paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, glass, and textile art by Indigenous artists from across the U.S. and Canada, such as Rick Bartow, Jim Denomie, Harry Fonseca, Nicholas Galanin, Meryl McMaster, Holly Wilson and others. Many pieces speak to injustices against Native peoples and the resilience of Native cultures. Others encompass innovative styles and mediums, and are open to interpretation.
And what would a Native art show be without Indian humor? You will experience that, too.
The traveling exhibit is one part of the Native Art Now! project. The weekend of Nov. 11-12, the Eiteljorg will host a celebration and convening of leading Native artists and scholars. It will include a facilitated dialogue, moderated by a nationally known art and social justice expert, Betsy Theobald Richards, to consider the past, present and future of contemporary Native art, as well as the future of the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship.
The Eiteljorg and WFYI also collaborated on a one-hour documentary that presents personal perspectives on Native contemporary art. It is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. Thursday Dec. 14 on WFYI-TV 20.1.
The museum has produced a scholarly companion book for Native Art Now! that examines Native expression in contemporary art since 1992.
When seeing Native Art Now!, don't miss two other exhibits of contemporary Native art now on view at the Eiteljorg: In Their Honor, in the Hurt and Harvey galleries, and The Geometry of Expression, in the Myrta Pulliam Photography Gallery.
Artists and scholars will convene for a dialogue led by Betsy Theobald Richards. The morning and afternoon events and lunch together are $30 per person or $15 for students.
10 a.m. to noon: Facilitated discussion

Please share your petit H items.
A story on Nowness ... Petit h: Small Wonder.
Hermès New Salvage Collection Takes to the RoadIts name may be a nod to the luxury-synonymous capital H, but the alliterative thinking behind Hermès' Petit h capsule collection is emphatically R-focused: reclaim, review, recreate. The atelier is the brainchild of Pascale Mussard, a sixth-generation member of the Hermès family who was motivated to breathe new life into materials discarded from the mother companys workshops. The sustainability centered endeavor sees the leather crafters, seamstresses, silversmiths, and crystal and porcelain artisans of Hermès come together with outside talents (designer Adrien Rovero and artist Marjolijn Mandersloot among them) for a high-end recycling project. Repurposing materials that dont meet Hermès strict standards (leather trimming that has fallen from the cutting table, glass containing an air bubble, silk with the tiniest flaw), the Petit h lab has developed a rare, one-of-a-kind selection of design statements created from the cast-offs. Offerings from the range include a vintage model airplane finished with black matte crocodile skin that doubles as a valet tray; a gold, near-life-size fawn fashioned from buffalo skin; and crystal and leather dumbbells. The menagerie (whose contents range in price from $70 to $70,000) is transported via caravan for pop-up stints in Hermès boutiques throughout the world, and will next travel to Osaka and Tokyo in spring 2011, followed by New York and Beverly Hills in fall 2011.
Making wastes into masterpieces is certainly a positive stride towards ecological awareness.
