It's been months since I've posted writing here. It isn't for the lack of writing, but too much of a certain kind.
Writing is an endless labyrinth of tones, content, formats. The purpose guides the process. Think about your daily reads: books, magazines, websites, Facebook posts. Think about the varying lengths, chosen formatting and presentation, and the kind of images that accompany the copy. Think about yourself as a reader―whether you're seeking to learn or to laugh, to be distracted or inspired. And you will find the particular sort of writing that fits (hopefully satisfy and surprise too).
The kind that I'm doing more of these days is what my strange internal compartmentalisation terms as "Professional Writing". Not "work" per se, and certainly not corporate writing. The purpose: interest, traffic, sustained reader investment. Parties involved: SEO, HTML, numbers, sourcing, images, speed, headings that hold more power than the content. And ultimately, the battle of balance between providing value and quality content whilst acknowledging the necessary tools and steps that often overshadows the former.
(I initially wrote an entire essay on the above topic, but it feels redundant; an internal ranting monologue of sorts.) Simply put, working at this game of numbers and speed―or at the very basic, writing for 8-9 hours on end―also means that the rest of whatever time's left needs to be devoted to refilling the well of words.
I'm often asked why I need so much time alone. So much silence. Loved ones worry; they think I'm keeping things to myself (my mum says my neck will grow thick). They wonder why I prefer to be in my room (and what I am doing in there) rather than watch television; why I would much rather head out somewhere else with a book when there's lively company at home.
Well. I don't speak when there's nothing to say―nothing that has matured; fully internalised, processed, and come to a point of conclusion I'm comfortable enough with to share. And―despite being a silent process done alone, writing is much like conversation: words and thoughts fly around, entangling and morphing with an external stream of words from others, from websites, from the radio. At the end of the work day, the streams dry into trickles and fading waves. Sometimes it feels like I even lack the words to even form proper thoughts.
Being quiet is to allow the still waters to rise and whirl again. Somewhere in the subconscious, visuals and words and sounds are echoing, passing by each other in an underground Shibuya crossing, searching for a place they belong to. They need time. Just like oceans really―they don't empty or overflow, holding deep worlds within blue bellies, bound by the moon's call and earth's weight. And being quiet remembers the newly past, appreciates the present, and (hopefully) gives respect to the future.
So why am posting this? I'm not quite sure, still. Perhaps it is to try to make sense of the whys and the hows, to find the words of explanation to the ones I am not sure if I can truly fully explain to (that this is how it is, but I am always here for you when you need me). Perhaps also a reflection on the past years of ventures towards better understanding of what and where I can contribute better.
…at the end of the day, I just would like to work towards a simple life: work hard and sincerely, love even harder, remember to notice the small things, be grateful. And of course, for balance, and to live slow―pretty difficult on this island built on productivity and efficiency…but always worth the try.
(because: a post written with people in mind; prose that feel strangely personal and self-absorbed; too many 'I's)

Many people love going to the stadium, to watch their favorite team play. All dressed up, with a beer in their hand, flags, scarves and just enjoying the atmosphere of the game. Others prefer to rather stay at home and watch the game on their TV with popcorn and in their warm and cozy living room, without being soaked with beer during the ecstasy of a goal and ending up deaf because of the loud cheering. For the "coach-potatoes" there is a new innovation called Social TV.
What is Social TV?
James Warren describes Social TV as the " mass online collaborative experienced that occur in real time during TV broadcasts, extending the viewing experience beyond the google box and towards interaction with the social media."
It is nothing new following a game via Facebook or Twitter. Whether following a game via TV or Livestream doesn't matter, anymore says Julian Gradke.
The video below is an example of Social TV during the Copa America Soccer Tournament.
According to Julian Gradke, there might be a time when Smartphones and Tablet PC's completly replace the TV, by simply following the sport over Facebook or Twitter.
New Innovations
An example for Social TV is the Application Zeebox in the UK, presented by Blogger Martin Bryant. Zeebox combines a UK TV guide with social features. You can log in with Facebook and see what your friends are watching and when celebrities talk about a show or program on twitter. Once you tap on the show can see the cast list, the latest tweets and news about it and a chart tracking popularity.
Here the Promo Video of Zeebox:
My opinion
Social TV can be a nice possibility to follow your team and live your passion where ever you are; whether on the train, waiting for the bus etc. But personally I think I wouldn't be to fond of it. Firstly, because everybody wouldn't get their nose away from their smartphone or tablet PC and secondly because the relaxation of sitting on the couch and enjoying a nice game of soccer while others are running around like crazy would be lost.

I was able to get a preview of the new Turbo Fire HIIT 15 workout from Beachbody. The HIIT 15 is only a 20 minute workout and let me tell you… I was pouring with sweat by the end! This was only 20 minutes! Turbo Fire HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) was intense and I LOVED every minute of it. I can't wait for this program to be released on June 18.
Insanity – Official Day 1, Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Day 1 of Insanity (or day 2 if you count Fit Test as Day 1) – holy crapola!!! I did it!!!! Well… towards the end, I was getting tired, but I did it!!!! I was a little hesitant to try this crazy cardio workout only because my cardio sucked to begin with. If I do intense cardio, I tend to wheeze. But after doing Turbo Jam/TurboKick since January, my cardio has gotten a lot better. Hey – I freakin' made it thru Insanity Day 1. Though my breathing did tend to get a little hard at the end, I slowed it down to catch my breathe and I was fine. I almost just layed on the floor, but I it felt like I would pass out, so I got up and kept moving. (DUH – I know you're not supposed to stop in the middle of a workout – I was just so spent! ha ha)
Shaun T. said the fat is supposed to burn off you like candle wax… let's see if this is true!!! But if tonight's workout is any indication… I can't wait to see what my results will be in 60 days!!!

RULES - I will assemble a team of players to build the best team for the next five years. - Salaries are not a factor. - Whether or not the player will play for a major league team all five years or start for them is not a factor; therefore, i can select minor leaguers who may not be in the majors for two more years if I feel they are the best player to have. They will be starters on my team. - The players do not have to be a certain age. Although, selecting Jim Thome may be a bad move because he would more than likely retire or fade very quickly.
First Base: Daric Barton
In 84 MLB plate appearances last season, Barton hit .347/.429/.639. Barton has never had HR power in the minors, so it would be a stretch to expect many more than 15 HRs in a full season, but his OBP has stayed in the .380+ in the minors. At 22-years-old, Barton would be a strong pick as an on-base machine. The other candidates are either past their prime age (Carlos Pena), lacking as big of an upside (Kevin Youkilis, Casey Kotchman), or riding a potentially fluke season (Justin Morneau).
Second Base: Robinson Cano
This was a relatively easy selection, even with the great talents of Dustin Pedroia and Ian Kinsler at second base. Cano's strength is not in his bat but rather in his defense. He had a truly spectacular year in 2007 in the field, showing awesome range. None of the other second baseman can match him defensively, and Cano is not a slouch at the plate either, hitting .342 in 2006. Brian Roberts, at 30-years-old, is too old to rise above the others.
Third Base: Alex Rodriguez
This used to be the easiest pick in the book, but no longer. Miguel Cabrera and Evan Longoria are just as legitimate a pick. Clearly, Cabrera has the experience, but Longoria hit .307/.403/.528 last season in AA, not to mention outstanding defense. Still, A-Rod is coming off of a 54-homer season and still can play around league average defensively. For at least one more season, this honor goes to Rodriguez.
Shortstop: Jhonny Peralta
After looking like an offensive flop in 2006, Peralta rebounded some in 2007 to be an asset at the plate. His defense, on the other hand, has not wavered from Gold-Glove-caliber play. There are really no other serious competitors for this position, with Carlos Guillen and Derek Jeter past their prime and Guillen shifting positions. Brandon Wood and Asdrubal Cabrera are talented youngsters, but they both have their own defensive and offensive struggles to take care of first.
Catcher: Joe Mauer
Since Mauer has come into the league, Victor Martinez has been Mauer's only competition at catcher, but he has never really been in the same league as a complete player. With superb defense and such a big bat at such a non-offensive position, Mauer is arguable the most valuable asset for any team to have over the next five seasons.

40% of women suffer from thinning hair and hair loss. And among African-American women, hair loss can be even more common. Hair styles, including doobies, weaves, corn rows and tight braids, frequent chemical processing and the structure of hair can cause ethnic hair loss.
If you're suffering from ethnic hair loss at the edges or a burned scalp we're here to help. We have many hair loss solutions to help you feel like yourself again. First, it's important to understand what may be causing ethnic hair loss.
- Over brushing
Brushing is a styling method which over time, inevitably puts pressure on the hair
- Overuse:
This will cause styling fatigue, which is repetitively relying on the same hair style. This will put some strain on the hair overtime.
- Wrapping it too tight
This is the biggest reason for damage from Doobies. Stylists wrap the hair too tight and it strains the edges.
Traction Alopecia
Traction alopecia is the gradual loss of hair due to a frequent or constant abrasive pulling force on the hair. This is the leading cause of hair loss among African American women because of popular cultural hairstyling, which frequently involves extensions, weaving, braiding and corn rows, ponytails and barrettes. Women suffering from traction alopecia will begin to see gradual and noticeable hair loss along the edges of their scalp. This includes the front and back of the hairline, the temples and behind the ears.
Central Cicatricial Centifugal Alopecia (CCCA)
Is a form of traction alopecia caused by chemical relaxers, oils, gels, dyes and bleaches these chemicals weaken the keratin structure of the follicle, which reduces its strength and causes the hair to break more easily. CCCA is the second leading cause of hair loss in African American women, usually resulting in thinning along the edges of the scalp and at the center.

Recently, near us settle new neighbours. I paid attention to that the workers of "Traditional Van Lines" of company not only engage in transporting of goods but also render other services. Very pleased me, that workers had executed all requests of owners. They placed furnitures in a house how it was wanted by owners. When, I suited to greet with new neighbours, I heard, that guys had spoken with customers very politely and delicately. All work of workers of company, was executed to perfection. In the evening, my wife of speckle pie and we decided to grant in guests to our new neighbours and knew, that they had been high pleased services of "Traditional Van Lines" of company.

My name is Sydney and I am sixteen. I am allergic to strawberry, pineapple, coconut and cashew. This past March break I travelled to Disney World in Florida with my family and had an amazing vacation. This was my first time travelling to Disney since I developed my allergies, but it was a very stress-free trip because I found Disney to be quite accommodating for my allergies. Vacations with allergies are always more enjoyable when you know that you've thoroughly planned ahead so you can feel safe. Here are some of my tips for travelling to Disney with your allergies:
1. Book your dinner reservations online ahead of time. This way you know what to expect and have some peace of mind in advance.
2. When booking online, Disney restaurants should have an allergy option. Choose this so that when you arrive, the restaurant staff members will already be aware and ready to accommodate.
3. When your waiter/ waitress arrives at your table they should tell you that the chef will be out as soon as possible to help you pick your meal (if not, be sure to ask!). The chef will make sure he/she prepares your meal so that it is as safe as possible. Be sure to tell the chef ALL of your allergies.
4. When your meal is served it will most likely have a toothpick in it that has the word "allergy" written on it. This is to reassure you that your meal was specially prepared and that the chef cooked it in an as safe as possible environment.
5. Florida can get pretty hot so remember to keep your auto-injector out of the sun!
6. Remember to enjoy yourself and relax!
I hope these tips help you on any future trips to the most magical place in the world!

It's extremely important and beneficial for kids to spend a lot of time playing outside, but seasonal allergies can be pretty distressing. Come spring, the air is filled with pollen which causes red, itchy, watery eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. Parents get upset, especially when toddlers and young kids are affected. However, there are some measures of precautions that you can take in order to reduce pollen exposure and help your kids feel better. The first thing you should do is make sure that the culprit behind these symptoms is a pollen allergy, so schedule an appointment with your pediatrician before you start following any of these tips.
Pollen counts and forecasts
Luckily, there are pollen forecasts that can help you plan your day. Usually, pollen counts start rising in the morning, and they peak somewhere the midday and early afternoon. During these hours, don't take your kids outside, and close all windows to prevent the pollen from entering your home. Use air conditioners with HEPA filters to recirculate the air. If you want to be on the safe side, a top-notch air purifier for allergies can do wonders for your respiratory health. Such devices are highly recommended for anybody suffering from hay fever or asthma.
Wash their hands
Whenever your kids get home from playing outside, wash their hands. It's also a good idea to change their clothes as the pollen sticks to them, and wash it in warm water. When your kids are outside, they tend to rub their itchy eyes, thus additionally irritating them, so wearing sunglasses is a good idea. Cold compresses can be used to soothe itching eyes. There are also special cleansing wipes for eyes and they're very practical when your kids are playing outside and when you can't wash their faces.

Use salt water
A stuffy nose is one of the most unpleasant things when it comes to allergies. It's very upsetting when you see your kids have a hard time breathing. This problem prevents them from getting a good night's sleep and it affects their appetite. Salt water can be used as a spray, or for nasal irrigation. This magic potion will help clear the nose, flush the pollen, and even loosen mucus. You can either get it from the pharmacy or make it yourself by adding a teaspoon of non-iodized salt in 8 ounces of boiled water.
Avoid dehydration
Sneezing and blowing the nose all the time can lead to dehydration, so help your kid by keeping a bottle of water nearby and having them sip on it at intervals. Apart from keeping them hydrated, water will also flush any germs out of their system and help them recover faster.
Adjust their diet
Spicy foods are beneficial because they can help loosen mucus and clear a stuffy nose. You can try adding onion, garlic, or hot ginger to your dishes and see how your kids react to those ingredients. On the other hand, kids that are allergic to ragweed can also be allergic to certain kinds of food, including cucumbers, sunflower seeds, bananas, or melons. If your kids are allergic to grass pollen, then you should check whether they're not allergic to figs, oranges, or tomatoes. Stay away from processed foods, as well as from foods treated with pesticides, and stick to natural, organic products.
Allergy medicine
Give your kids allergy medicine in order to prevent the symptoms. It's best for them to take their dose before going to bed at night because that's how they will be ready for the new day. There are some natural cough solutions based on the ivy leaf extract, beneficial for clearing the chest from mucus. Consult your pediatrician before introducing any medicine.
As you can see, there are ways to help your kids get through the allergy season. The key lies in minimizing their exposure to allergens and allergy-proofing your home.

Here's an illustration I did for Canadian Grocer. The story is for an article about the merger between Loblaw and Shoppers Drugmart. It goes on to talk about how there might be some initial problems with the merger of the two companies but it should overall make for a more positive/profitable expansion of both companies. Especially now that Target has entered the Canadian Market as their heavy weight contender.
Some of my first idea's I thought were pretty cool but they wanted a less figurative direction to talk about two companies in a positive way. The second finished image is what I prefer and originally sent in but they had to get the color version above because another illustration on the page was also a vignette and wanted some contrast. I kinda like my Tetris/puzzle solution.

Latest set photos feature lots and lots of spacesuits?
May is nearly over, and for many Who fans, there is a Doctor-shaped hole in their collective hearts.
But between split seasons, anniversary specials and the departure of Matt Smith, it's been quite a while since we've had a regular schedule, and, sadly, there are still many months to go before Peter Capaldi's first full series begins in earnest.
But set photos will have to whet our appetites for now. And with the cast and crew back in Cardiff, it's not surprising that fans were out in force to greet them -- and snap a few pictures.
What you are about to see is from an episode penned by writer Peter Harness. And, it would appear, the episodes will involve being in some less-than-habitable climates. In addition to Capaldi and Coleman, guest stars Ellis George (who may be in a number of episodes this season) and Hermione Norris were present. All of them are wearing spacesuits, with Capaldi's looking quite familiar.
Have a look, speculate to your two heart's content. What do you think tell us in the comments?

The challenge of effective project management lies not only in the management of a project, but also the change caused by the project. It is this more complex task of managing change that is one of the factors that differentiates project management from the routine work of management in an organisation. Anderson et al. (Goal Directed Project Management, 1991) refer to general management in terms of the 'steady state', that is, the operating or headquarters function. Managing the steady state, they maintain, is a relatively simple task compared to managing a project.

The Project Management paper you have prepared presents a more crucial, directed, goal-directed and nuanced approach to running organisations in the 21st Century where emphasis lies in creation of networks and synergies between various managers.

Common Treatment Options for Brain Cancer
People with brain cancer may undergo surgery to assess the abnormalities discovered by physicians or remove the cancerous tumor. It may not be possible to remove a tumor that is abnormal. Therefore, surgeons often take a sample of the tumor to determine its type and consider alternative treatment options.
Cancer patients with low-grade tumors that are not aggressive may be treated with anti-seizure and antiepileptic drugs to prevent seizures caused by cancerous tumors. Steroid drugs, such as dexamethasone, are often administered to relieve swelling in the brain. Patients with excess cerebrospinal fluid that is collecting around the brain may require a shunt placed in the brain to drain fluid while taking medications for brain cancer.
Radiation Therapy
A common treatment option for brain cancer, especially prior to or after surgery, is radiation therapy. This type of therapy uses high-energy rays to shrink or kill tumor cells. The purpose of radiation therapy is to also stop tumors from growing and multiplying. Radiation therapy is a local type of therapy that only targets the affected tumor area instead of exposing the rest of the body to high-energy rays. Varying treatment options are available, such as external radiation, internal or implant radiation, or a knifeless surgical technique known as stereotactic radiosurgery.
Chemotherapy uses a single drug or a combination of powerful drugs to kill cancerous tumor cells in the brain. The drugs can be administered through an IV line or orally. Some physicians administer chemotherapy drugs through a shunt within the brain designed to drain excess fluid. This type of treatment option is administered in cycles with an introductory intensive treatment that is followed by recovery and rest. The cycles can last a few weeks, and the drugs produce strong side effects such as loss of hair, vomiting and nausea.
Treatment for cancerous brain tumors, also known as brain cancer, depends on the type of tumor and the location and size of the tumor. A patient's age and general health are also considered when determining treatment. All treatment options should be discussed with a medical professional. Individuals with brain cancer should know their treatment options to determine the best course of action.

During the day Patrick Wayner may seem like a mild(ish) mannered stay-at-home dad. But when left alone, he transforms into his alter ego, Painted Patch—a fierce and focused artist who wields a scroll saw as his weapon, transforming wood and reclaimed materials into magical creatures. Concentrating on faux taxidermy, he offers a more sustainable and humane way to enjoy the beauty of the animal kingdom. His work is a complex assemblage of wood, acrylic, aerosol and reclaimed materials (old books and their covers, suitcases, radio diagrams, etc.). Patrick draws inspiration from the spirit animal realm and totems, connecting viewers through multiple ideological and theological iconic imagery. Patrick Wayner resides in Gahanna, Ohio with his wife and two (NOT so mild mannered sons). He has exhibited his work at multiple galleries in Columbus and out of state.

// Lena Gahwi
Here is a playlist from an intersectional feminist who is still trying to have a good time.
Green Light, Lorde
Lorde makes good music, and she makes me feel so much cooler than I actually am. Green Light is a good anthem to remind you to let stuff go! Something we could all learn to do. It is a story of a breakup, and I don't know about you, but I connect pretty hard. Lorde's brand of empowerment tends to be very 'white feminist'-y and I am no fan of that, but this song is thoroughly enjoyab le. It makes me dance alone in my room with a great deal of vigour which is always necessary and very fun.
Humble, Kendrick Lamar
This is a fire song, with a visually entertaining music video by Kendrick Lamar who I'm such a big fan of that I usually find it hard to be too critical. But here are a few points: Is it feminist that he sings about stretch marks? No. Is it a revolutionary statement? No way. Is it problematic that he uses a conventionally attractive light skinned woman in the video when attempting to talk about 'real women' (whatever that means)? Yes. (Side note: Can we please stop praising men for making half hearted attempts at empowering women? Ok, thanks.) However, this song will get you pumped, and that is necessary when you are trying to finish that essay that you left to the last minute. So, when you start freaking out, listen to this song, then sit down and write.
Any song by Beyoncé
I realize that not everyone is a Beyoncé fan, and although I find this fact to be confusing, I will respect it and proceed to ignore it. Beyoncé has come into her own in recent years and has become a major feminist icon. Or at least as much as an incredibly affluent celebrity can be a feminist icon, so, please take that title with a large grain of salt. However, she stands as an example of how regardless of fame and success, black women remain to be under fire for simply existing. Her most recent pregnancy showcased the vile critique black mothers are subjected to on a daily basis. This reality is incredibly demoralizing, but the solution can only be to listen to Beyoncé's entire discography on repeat in order to forget about it.
I love Kanye, Kanye West
I love Kanye West's music. Maybe I shouldn't have this in print, because I know I will get flack for it, and I totally deserve it. Kanye West is incredibly problematic as a person, and so is his work. He is sexist, racist, and so out of touch with the real world… it blows my mind. But, he makes good music, he is a talented human being. It is highly disillusioning when a black man with such a powerful platform uses it to support those who wish to dismantle society's safety nets, and seek to incite fear in our hearts. It strikes me as odd that someone who creates art that centres around the black experience doesn't really understand it, and supports those that wish to make it more difficult. However, this is not a new critique;, people have been saying this for years. There is no doubt about the issues with Kanye and his work. You will come to realize that all of your studies will push you to be more critical about the world around you, this is what you've come to learn at Western. However, this doesn't mean that you cease to enjoy the things you love. You must be cognisant of the real life effects of the actions of those like Kanye West, and you must be vigilant in calling them out, and fighting them as best you can. That being said, we live in a volatile time, and this gets really difficult sometimes. bell hooks would agree that you can enjoy the work of your problematic fave as long as you remain critical. Love what you love, but don't forget the bigger picture.
Cherry Wine, Hozier
White dudes with long hair and guitars are my guilty pleasure. I sometimes wonder if it's ok for me, an Arab woman in women's studies, to love this type of music so much. Conclusion: yes. Yes, it is. There is no such thing as a right or wrong preference especially when it comes to music. Part of the dehumanization that people of various minorities face is when they are generalized. People of colour are not a monolith; this is a ridiculous assumption. So I say, you should proudly blast Hozier regardless of who you are because that dude is great.
Folk- Metaphysics, Milo
This is one of my favourite songs. I find Milo (Rory Ferreira) to be incredibly intelligent and I think it is exciting when you are listening to music and the artist references the obscure philosophers you have to read in class and can never imagine how they fit into the real world. Occasionally you need to listen to some melancholic sounding human singing on a track. This is a good late night studying type of song, or, I would highly recommend listening to it on low volume and reflecting on life. I just really vibe with this song, and I need to share it. You are welcome.
While trying to choose songs for this list, it became clear that the majority of my music is made by black individuals. This is both intentional and unintentional. Most of the genres I listen to were created by black people, and rightly, continue to be dominated by them. They have historically and in large part continue to be a critique of white supremacy and a symbol of black struggle. It is important to point out that since entering the mainstream, much of that history has been brushed to the side for the sake of profit. People like me are claiming the music as their own and listening to it without thinking about the consequences. This is not only harmful but downright impossible. We cannot appropriate this music without knowing about its past and what it stands for.
There is no Taylor Swift on this playlist. I think it is important to point that out because it is in fact, a statement.

The following is Part 1 of the short story/essay titled For Money or Mankind.
"Here we go againâ€? Greg thought to himself, as he watched yet another CEO rant on about unexpected delays in product-shipment and bad luck playing its role in the company's dealings with a prospective customer. Unwired Inc. was the latest of his investments which had seemed promising at first, but was beginning to show signs of slowing down towards a painful death. The founders had seemed to fit the entrepreneurial profile – "Bright kids from Cambridge, Electrical Engineering majors with the potential to bring to market the next big thing in wireless technologyâ€? Greg remembered his first impressions of the youngsters who pitched their idea to him at a social networking event at London.
For years, Greg Hoffler was the darling of both the European high-technology scene as well as the stock markets. With the uncanny knack of spotting out talent from a cesspool of ideas, he was responsible for funding great ideas and individuals. He was, in turn, playing his part in making the world a better place. He liked to think of himself more as a missionary, rather than a mercenary – which for a venture capitalist was bit of an oxymoron. However, three of his last four investments had already folded and with Unwired balancing itself on a very thin rope, his role as a messiah for the budding entrepreneur was being called into question. "No reason to panic yet, but if these guys don't pull their act together fast, I might as well shut shop and retireâ€?. As yet another slide with a negative-sloped graph flashed on the screen, something snapped.
"I don't know if you guys have heard of this – but it's probably something you need to think about. It's from this book called the Cluetrain Manifesto and it goes like this – markets are conversations among humans who use language that is natural, open and honest, whereas companies and governments are stuck in the humorless monotone of the mission statement, marketing brochure, and your-call-is-important-to-us busy signal. Call me when this has sunk in.â€?
"I've always wanted to create a dent in the world; that has been my only aim. Making money, glitzy IPOs and fancy cars are a by-product of that goal.� His speech at Hamburg University last year echoed through his brain, as Greg sped back to his office in his Porsche convertible. "And yet, why is it that my success is judged by monetary gains, ROIs and balance-sheets?� His ruminations were interrupted by the shrill ring-tone on his cell-phone; his secretary Deborah on the other end sounding frazzled "Greg, there is a Mr. Odoyo from Nairobi who has been calling in all morning and he desperately wants to speak with you. Shall I patch him in?�
"Nairobi? Jesus what next?�
To be continued…

Kelly discusses the relationship between desire, the male gaze, looking, and women in art. Vision is about desire and a majority of art is about vision. Women are, and have always been, looked at. But we are the gazers too, it is just not always documented. Women are often reduced to their body which is a site of sexuality. What is masculine and what is considered feminine is constantly shifting. And although she may focus too much on Freud and his Oedipus Complex theory, the key question she never really answers is how women can both be subject and object in art.
Deana Lawson's photographs capture the family and community of the African-American people she meets. The subjects of the photos stare at you as much as you stare at them, questioning who is the gazer and gazee. Now if she wasn't a member of the Black community, what would her photos imply?
In Emma Amos's painting Yo Man Ray Yo (2000), two women gaze at each other. Even though one is painted as an image, she is brought to life by her expression. Amos's painting is a reaction to Man Ray's Noire et Blanche (1926), a photograph of Kiki Montparnasse looking at an African mask.
Out of all of Audrey Wollen's photographs, the most interesting are the ones in which she documents herself at the doctor's office. Photographing yourself in pain or in suffering when dealing with different disabilities usually seen as either embarrassing or something only discussed in private is radical.

I don't check my blog statistics often, but Logan does because he's curious; curious about where my blog traffic is coming from and who is linking to RowdyKittens. Last night, he told me that my post on loneliness is one of the most visited articles on the blog. Interestingly, I've been thinking about this topic for the last few days because I'm worried about my mom.
Ever since my dad had a stroke she's been feeling lonely and worried. Currently, my dad is still in a rehab center and my mom is all alone in a 2,000 square-foot house. She has her crazy puppy to keep her company, a part-time job, and friends, but I still worry. As she recently said on the phone, "It feels weird being alone in the house without Mahlon. It's so empty."
Ever since the stroke happened, I've been feeling worried and a little lonely too. I'm grateful that my dad is still here. However, he's not the same. My dad is still disoriented and confused, so it's going to be a while before I can carry on a conversation with him. The recovery process is going to be long and slow.
Rather than focus on my worries, I've been doing things like swimming, working, and spending time outside taking photos. Engaging in activities that I love make me feel less lonely.
Micro-action: Make a list of activities that help you overcome loneliness. Keep the list in a journal or in a visible spot in your house. Return to your list if you start feeling lonely.

Bail set at $500k for Ferndale man accused of drunkenly stabbing wife in chest
A Ferndale man accused of stabbing his wife in the chest made his first appearance in court Monday, March 9, on a charge of attempted murder.
Charles Hendricks Foster, 64, called an emergency line around 2:15 p.m. Friday, saying he wanted to kill his wife, according to police. On the phone he kept telling the dispatcher to "shut up." Police believe he'd been drinking.
Officers met Foster five minutes later outside his second-story apartment in the 5600 block of Third Avenue, near downtown Ferndale. He told them he'd already stabbed his wife, Gayle Leigh Corris, 58, in the home. She'd suffered a wound to the right side of her chest.
Paramedics rushed Corris to St. Joseph hospital. She survived.
According to police, Foster claimed they were arguing about their alcohol use: Foster wanted to give up alcohol; Corris did not. He blamed her for his alcohol problem, said Ferndale Police Lt. Bill Hatchett.
Superior Court Commissioner Martha Gross read Foster his rights, in a loud voice, because Foster is hard of hearing, at his first appearance in court Monday. He faces a charge of attempted murder in the second degree while armed with a deadly weapon. His bail had been set over the weekend at $500,000.
Foster — a white man around 5-foot-4, balding, with a short gray full beard and faded greenish tattoos along both arms — walked from the jail courtroom with a slight limp, as a guard escorted him back to his cell.
Corris had been released from St. Joseph hospital as of Monday, said a hospital spokeswoman.
Police said the couple had moved from Pierce County to Ferndale about two weeks ago. Foster assaulted a roommate in April 2013 when he lived in Tacoma. She told police he'd pulled a gun as he illegally tried to evict her, according to charging papers. Felony assault charges were reduced to a misdemeanor in a plea deal; Foster was handed a suspended jail sentence of one year. He served a total of about a week behind bars.

University personal statement can be tricky to write because they require your self-analysis that can be painful. Talking broadly about your achievements might seem like arrogant but properly executed objective statement provides all information about your level of interest, motivation and training to admission committee which they need to determine you for admission. A well written personal statement convinces admission committee that you are right person for a program, department or school. Here are some useful guidelines to write compelling objective statement.
A common mistake students make in personal statement believes that admission committees will be convinced that they deserve a place in a program just because it had been their childhood dream. They also think that they can get admission easily because their parents are working in this field or profession. However childhood dream or parental influence can be a compelling description about your motivation to pursue a career path but admission committees like to see initial interest translated into active commitment for career related activity. The key to using a childhood motivation is to make it too brief and ensure its flow with rest of essay.
Students also commit mistake of going into lengthy elaborations of research projects in highly technical language Essays dominated by highly technical language can estrange readers that are outside of their field of your specialization and make writer seem like he/she has difficulty in appropriate communication. Admission committee has to read dozens of essays and they might put aside an essay that is difficult to read or understand in favor of one that is not.
Students often rush through personal statement and submit their first or second draft but it is not fair. If you want to produce an excellent personal statement then an average of five or more drafts is advisable. It is a good idea to get feedback on your personal mission statements from people outside your instant family and friends. You can also seek advice from instructor in writing centre of your school. They have experience helping with personal statement. If you have no access to writing centre then any student or profession in program or school you are applying to can normally be quite helpful.
Usually admission committee is interested in understanding student underneath surface. So simply stating that you are interested in career or you have certain qualities is not sufficient. While writing you should use precise examples to point out qualities you possess and also to show your commitment toward specific career path.

White Space / 02
Last November, I wrote this post after attending the Making Things Happen Conference. Eight months later (and 39 weeks pregnant!), I can whole heartedly say that this whole "White Space" idea has completely transformed my life, my business, our home and our family. I'm so grateful for it.
Our home is organized (read this book), my business is streamlined and focused (designers - check out this workshop), my daily to-do lists are planned the night before (buy this planner) and I've found pockets of time (read this book) in my day to make sure my heart, body & mind are a priority.
I've simplified, streamlined, prioritized, de-cluttered, donated dozens and dozens of items, said no (A LOT), planted a garden, taken day adventures with Addison, locked up our phones for the evenings, had date nights involving old movies & puzzles, organized all of our family's files and photographs, given everything in our home a "place", simplified my business on the backend, filled our walls with photographs & art, sent more happy mail, prepared my heart for a new baby, went to art museums, I could go on and on and on....
The most important change is this...
I'm striving every day to fill my mind & heart with more gratitude and stillness and less comparison and hustle.
I'm a smarter business owner and a more present wife, mom and friend. AND I've managed to do this all while pregnant (HA!). I'm so excited to implement this new lifestyle as we become a family of four.
So now, your turn...
What does "White Space" look like to you?
This "White Space" idea FIRES ME UP. I want to talk about it with everyone! I'd love to get your thoughts on how we can make this more of a conversation in our creative industries. Feel free to email me or leave your thoughts below!
Here's to finding White Space in your life for the rest of 2015!

Me, doing!
"I want the whole life to be the journey that gets you to the realist place in your psyche that you can get to. Thats what you should be able to paint."
~Susan Rothenberg, Artist
The Doing.
This is what it is all about.
We can think, ponder, dream, yearn, prepare, learn, fret, worry, procrastinate, be intimidated, be afraid and entertain self doubt.
And we do all of that.
But now it is time to do.
Create your creation. Take a risk. Listen to your intuition. Get your hands dirty. Begin. Create what ever it is you are meant to create.
The first steps can be difficult. However, you have created before and you can do it again. Remember how it felt? Engage your mind, your heart and your hand. Flip that switch.
By the way, there are no ideal conditions for creating. So, if you are waiting for the perfect time or the ideal conditions, you may be waiting a long time. And getting nothing done in the process. {Smile}
Do not allow whatever is going on in your life to get in your way and prevent you from creating. Know that there are going to be both internal and external obstacles. And create anyway.
Create an environment that is habit forming. Replace doubt and fear with confidence and action. Remember, Action Quiets Fear.
Ask yourself, "What if?" and "Why not?"
And then go for it!

The 2014 Charlotte guitar show has come to a close and Keith and I are back home. We had an excellent weekend enjoying rare vintage guitars and the camaraderie of the people who collect and play. Gary Burnett of Bee-3 Vintage puts on a great show that draws in players, collectors, dealers and hobbyists from around the world to buy, sell and trade all manner of rare toys.
I purchased two amplifiers at the show that I'm proud to present on my website. I purchased a third at the show but it was gone before I could bring it back home! Look for the other two amps coming soon to Truevintageguitar.com.
Thanks to Gary and all those who attended Charlotte for a great show. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Home > B-Lines Hub > West of England B-Lines
Membership costs just £3 per month
Together with the Avon Wildlife Trust, and with support from a number of partner organisations, Buglife is working to restore and connect habitat within the West of England B-Lines network which includes the unitary authority areas of Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol, and South Gloucestershire.
Our Vision
To create a network of B-Lines linking wildflower-rich areas across the West of England from the west to the east, and from the north to the south, linking the Cotswolds with the Mendips, cities to the countryside, and the coast to the hills.
The story so far…..
Since April 2014 Buglife, Avon Wildlife Trust, our partners, landowners, local communities and volunteers have restored and created significant areas of wildflower-rich habitats in the West of England, creating important stepping stones between our existing high value wildlife sites, helping our pollinating insects and other wildlife to move across the landscape. These sites are also areas for local communities and visitors to enjoy and hopefully engage with nature.
Between April 2014 and March 2016 we have achieved the following:
Earlier this year both Buglife and AWT received addition funding to continue working with landowners, partners and local groups to enhance connectivity across the West of England for pollinators and wildlife.
This project has been made possible through grants from Cory Environmental Trust in Britain, Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust South Gloucestershire Council, Bristol City Council, Natural England, D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust Wessex Water and the February Foundation, with additional support from project partners.
The wider West of England project partnership includes the following organisations:

A METAL worker who created sculptures of animals from scrap at Edinburgh Zoo – where he was blacksmith for almost 30 years – has died.
John "JR" Ramsay, who was also responsible for the design of the stainless steel and glass hanging staircase at Edinburgh Airport, passed away on Monday in the Marie Curie Hospice at Fairmilehead, after a short battle with cancer.
Mr Ramsay, 68, who was the zoo's "sculptor in residence" and created a number of enclosures for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) – including a swivel locking system to stop macaques at the Highland Wildlife Centre from escaping – announced his decision to retire earlier this summer due to ill health and was diagnosed with terminal cancer just weeks later.
Born on the Royal Mile, Mr Ramsay became interested in metal work as a child when he was bought his first Meccano set by his father. He later became a farrier's apprentice to a one-legged First World War veteran called Old Tam and eventually branched out into sculpture work.
His commercial projects included the Edinburgh Airport staircase and a set of hanging stairs at the Royal Bank of Scotland office on Dundas Street.
As sculptor in residence at the RZSS, he created special one-off pieces for speakers participating in the zoo's Tribal Elder series, including an African rhino for anthropologist Dame Jane Goodall, a Sumatran rhino mother and calf for zoologist Aubrey Manning, and a pair of stags for former RZSS director Roger Wheater.
In his day job as blacksmith, he became known for his ability to create zoo sculptures out of scrap metal, including the "wishing tree" near the gibbon enclosure and ornate gates, ladybirds, monkeys and tortoises.
In an interview in 2013, Mr Ramsay said: "Creating metalwork animals is a hobby of mine. I study pictures of the animal, like a penguin in motion, before working pieces of metal together to create the sculpture. Each of my animal sculptures is unique."
Kathy Sorley, RZSS's "thinker in residence", who appointed Mr Ramsay to the sculptor in residence post in November, said that more than 150 staff had sent zoo postcards featuring their favourite animal to Mr Ramsay after he retired.
"He wasn't well enough to have a retirement party," she said. "So I decided to start a postcard campaign so people could tell him how much he meant to them."
She added: "He is going to be badly missed. He was the kind of man who just made friends with everyone. He would always say good morning and have a joke – he was a very twinkly character. He will leave a big, big hole at the zoo."
Chris West, chief executive of RZSS, said: "We are saddened to hear of the passing of John Ramsay who worked as a blacksmith at Edinburgh Zoo for nearly 30 years.
"His legacy certainly lives on here at the zoo and his one-off sculptures of birds, animals and insects dotted distinctly around the site bring pleasure to visitors every day."
Mr Ramsay leaves a wife, Josephine, and sons Robert and Mark.

This mystery involving the art world takes Spenser down some unexpected paths. In a change from recent books, there's actually more mystery involved in this book by Parker. It's a treat to watch Spenser work a puzzling case. But, as always, the greatest treat is spending time in Spenser's world, with Susan and Pearl, and the cops who respect his ability. Spenser is the detective who recognizes and can recite poetry, appreciates attractive women, but always remains faithful. It's going to be tough to finally lose mystery's knight in shining armor, the detective with a code of honor.

PLAINFIELD – In a small town, kids grow up playing baseball together.
They play together on summer teams and on their junior high teams.
When they get to their local high school, they know each other so well on and off the field that the familiarity becomes an asset.
In larger schools, talent arrives from various directions and from various summer teams. There often is more talent than at a smaller school, but the players have to develop their close-knit feeling a little later.
Large schools will be on the turf Friday and Saturday as the Class 3A and Class 4A state finals are played at Joliet Route 66 Stadium. The 3A semifinals Friday will feature Nazareth vs. Morton at 10 a.m. and Troy Triad vs. St. Ignatius at noon. In 4A, Lake Park will meet Huntley at 3 p.m. and Plainfield North will battle Sandburg at 5 p.m.
Third-place and championship games in each class are scheduled at corresponding times Saturday.
Although a large school, Plainfield North might have had an advantage throughout these playoffs, an advantage that began to build from the time these Tigers were mere cubs.
Seniors Gavin Doyle, who plays shortstop and bats third in the North lineup, and Brady Miller, who will start on the mound and bat fourth against Sandburg, are neighbors who have known each other since they were 3.
"We have been on the same baseball team since we were 5," said Miller, who is an all-area quarterback and all-area basketball player while Doyle is among the top golfers in the area and also a contributor in basketball. "We definitely push ourselves."
"We have played baseball with each other for so long that we are able to critique each other, and it doesn't come off as offensive," Doyle said.
But it isn't only those two senior standouts who have been together for years.
"Cal Cangilla, Ryan Summers, Keegan Bates, Brady [Miller] and I all were together from our 8U team to 13U," Doyle said.
Bates is another of the Tigers' top pitchers, Cangilla is among the leading hitters and Summers is an excellent second baseman who also has contributed with the bat.
If camaraderie matters in this state tournament, coach John Darlington's team goes in with a leg up.
"After we lost to Neuqua Valley in the sectional championship game last year, I definitely felt like we had a team this year that could make a run and go as far as the 2016 team went," Miller said of the Tigers' group that finished fourth in 4A.
Dillon McCarthy, an outstanding football player, was patrolling center field for North last season and opted not to play baseball this spring.
When asked whether he had a feeling this team could accomplish what it has, Doyle took out his phone and said, "Let me show you something. Here's a text I sent Dillon after we lost last year to Neuqua – 'We are going to state next year.' He's a good friend. I knew he would be pretty salty about it."
So there was a hole to fill, and center fielder Cameron Kissel, who has been an offensive force, and first baseman Cangilla have combined to do that.
"Cam's filled a huge role, and Cal is a great defensive first baseman," Doyle said.
The North batting order Monday in the 7-3 supersectional victory over Brother Rice started with catcher Greg Budig. He was followed by right fielder Garrett Cook, Doyle, Miller, Kissel, Cangilla, Chris Miller, Sean Tillmon and Summers. It figures to be much the same Friday. The Tigers have their team batting average up to .345.
Miller, meanwhile, is 9-1 with a
1.47 ERA. He has allowed 40 hits and
18 walks while striking out 62 in
57 innings. "I want to help get us past this game and then we can go after the championship," Miller said.
That's the plan.

Purchasing sunglasses can be a minor thing for some. It's part of what you wear. And more often, it's what many uses to complete the current fashion ensemble they have. Sunglasses complete the look and provide attitude for the face. However, you also need this to function accordingly. The trend is currently leaning towards the pairs made of bamboo. With the different benefits that each pair can provide, it's not difficult to see why this particular option is famous.
It's high-time to properly consider the best bamboo sunglasses. It's good to choose and properly since it's more than just for fashionable needs. It's highly essential to know the features so you'll also consider the functionality it has. With the expert's review regarding the current options, it's easier to be guided by the whole thing.
For experts, these are the top three picks:
Tree Tribe Classic Wayfarer Bamboo Sunglasses. If your using bamboo glasses to contribute to the improvement of the environment, then this is the best choice for you. For every purchase, the company has decided to plant 10 bamboo trees. Isn't this a very positive way to give back. Sunglasses were initially created to shield the eyes from the harsh glares of the sun. And with the glare-proof feature of the Classic, it's no longer a problem when you're exposed longer in the sun.
Tree People Wayfarer Bamboo Sunglasses. Size and the fit are common problems you need to face when choosing the perfect pair. It should not just be something fashionable. The right fit will make it more suitable for you. The flexible and adjustable hinges make it the best choice regardless of the face size and type.
Maka Wearer Coronado Wayfarer Style Polarized Bamboo Sunglasses. This brand offers not just a variety of style but different bamboo and wood types for the frames as well. This allows for every person to properly explore their preferences. The dark wood stained frames are easy to determine and are a sure standout.
This is best suitable for individuals who don't know anything about the present choices. It's important to consider the right things to help with the decision-making process. But more importantly, your very own style has to be considered. It's imperative that one makes sure of how functional a specific thing is. But it'll be better when you're confident about wearing it. When planning your outfits and fashion choices, it's crucial to properly think of these choices.
