Corps de l'article
The shrinking and impoverishment of public space is now a prominent theme in contemporary debates in art, architecture and urban planning. Since the 1960s, artists and architects, such as Melvin Charney, Gordon Matta-Clark, Dan Graham, Richard Greaves, Ant Farm and ParaSITE, have tackled this pressing issue by deconstructing, reframing and appropriating urban spaces and architecture, as well as by creating impermanent structures and models that serve the purpose of shifting habitual spatial practices. As a visual artist, architect and urban designer, Adrian Blackwell contributes to this tradition. His work focuses on the question of equality, access and democratic exchange in contemporary urban development and public space.
Since 1996 Blackwell has produced a series of art projects that aim at altering existing spaces to encourage common uses. For example, Public Water Closet (1998) and How to Open a Car Like a Book (1999) create private enclosures within the city. Recent works such as Light Net (2004), Car Pool (2006) and Model for a Public Space (2000, 2006 and 2008) produce temporary locations for collective action and public debate. Alongside these object-based propositions, Blackwell has also engaged in critical documentary work: Evicted May 1, 2000 (9 Hanna Avenue) (2001) uses pinhole photographs to record the transformative potential of artists' studio spaces; Detroit's Underdevelopment: Separation, Divesture, Erasure, Encampment (2005) draws on three maps to trace the social and political forces that shaped the development of Detroit in the second half of the 20th century; Factory = Territory (2005) documents the eastern edge of China's Pearl River Delta with drawings, maps and pinhole panoramas.
Adrian Blackwell is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto's John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, and a member of the Toronto School of Creativity and Inquiry.
Annie Gérin: You were trained as an architect, you practised architecture and you teach architectural and urban design at the University of Toronto. Yet much of your current practice is directed towards art and collaborative actions.
Adrian Blackwell: I make art because it's a way to think creatively and produce, much more easily than architecture. Architecture came first and it's something I still really love, but it's so fraught with political and economic challenges. First, how do you get the money to make something? Then, how can you make something that is politically progressive or radical?
For years, before I started making art, I worked for an architect who designed extremely beautiful houses. He had a very modest and also very provocative, interesting way of making architecture. But at some point I realized this wasn't for me. I wanted to engage with public issues and work with people who can't afford to have an architect design their house. Art is much more direct in terms of aesthetic questions and its potential for realization. Art also allows more room for thought.
This interest in public issues and more immediate ways to produce seems contrary to the durability usually ascribed to architecture. In fact, your works, from pinhole photographs to ephemeral constructions, display a very fragile temporal quality.
I don't know if it's the only way I would like to do these things. But it has to do with an interest in relational ideas. I'm interested in the ways people use something more than the thing itself. So I think the fragility you refer to is another way of downplaying the artifact and the importance placed on it.
Do you consider that your work is connected to relational aesthetics?
The relational aesthetics thesis just makes sense to architects. Buildings are about social uses, right? At the same time, I am not satisfied with relational aesthetics in itself, because I believe in the necessity of making things. So my work is not exactly relational in the typical sense. Even if I tend to downplay the artifact, I'm still interested in fabrication and the artist's role as maker of useful things.
This conception recalls that imagined by Constructivist artists in the early 20th century. They asserted their role in shaping the everyday. Do you think artists still have the necessary agency to contribute usefully to society?
I certainly don't mean that the artist's role is to lead the community. But I think that art almost necessarily has to deal with and intervene in social and political contexts, it has to resonate with the world around it in a social and political way. As an artist I want to engage the city with my work. As far as I am concerned, one of the biggest problems facing the city is uneven development and the ways in which people are marginalized because of it.
But you certainly haven't chosen the path of community-based art.
This is where the question of autonomy comes in. I'm more interested in the constitutive tension between making work that is accessible and open to people, that people are curious about, and making work that has autonomy from the capitalist world that surrounds it – hopefully introducing some kind of otherness to it. This is a kind of resistant otherness. A lot of community art loses its constitutive tension. It doesn't always fully articulate its critique, because it is so involved in the immediacy of improving conditions. Community art can be problematic when artists are no longer pursuing their own process of art making. Art needs to have a certain distance.
It strikes me that your work is resistant to the shift towards what critics like Paul Ardenne term "micropolitics." It appears closer in spirit to what certain artists of the 1970s like Gordon Matta-Clark or Hans Haacke saw as a political project for art.
It's true. I mean those are certainly inspirations. Dan Graham's work and Robert Smithson's work are important references also. But a lot of the work I've been doing is much more directed in terms of the social and political implications. Certainly Dan Graham's work with corporate materials and surveillance targets questions of control and power in urban space. And Hans Haacke's work is a very extreme example of art that deals with political economy in a very straightforward way. I think art has to deal with the big political problems of post-Fordist capitalism and neoliberal governance.
Graham and Haacke's practices seem to have had a particular influence on your work with the October Group.
Yes. The October Group project happened in the fall of 1996. It involved some very interesting characters: people like Kenneth Hayes, who has just recently published Milk and Melancholy,[1] the filmmaker and sculptor Kika Thorne, architects Barry Isenor and Christie Pearson, theorist Cecilia Chen, photographers Derrick Wang and Daniel Diaz Arrasco, a group of artists and architects. It was an incredible moment, perhaps the most inspiring thing I've ever been a part of. It was a real collective action that was focused at a very particular moment – Metro Days of Action, a two-day general strike in Toronto – and a very particular site: Toronto's City Hall.
We built a 150 foot long inflatable tube that we illegally installed as a parasite over the air vent in front of Toronto's City Hall. It was set up on the eve of the first day of the strike at about ten o'clock. It was like a big noisy street toy or utopian architecture. With it we wanted to protest against the violent neoliberal policies of the Ontario government. It was about public housing primarily, and the way it was being destroyed in the 1990s.
But this was more than a comment on the destruction of public housing. Occupying a space such as City Hall directly confronts people. It makes them question their own agency. This is also what a work like Public Water Closet proposes.
At one level this was simply about putting a public washroom on the Queen/Spadina corner. There were no public washrooms to access in this area. In terms of rights to the city, it seemed to be a fundamental one. But then the structure was also about inverting mechanisms of surveillance. The tension in that piece probably resides in how you have power of surveillance at the moment when you are most vulnerable and have least desire to be seen. It was also very much framed by the legislation of the Safe Streets Act. It was put on Spadina because this is where there were the most squeegee kids cleaning car windows. There was a lot of controversy about businesses that wouldn't let them use the washrooms.
Do you know if people actually used it?
I went to see it pretty much every day. People used it as a toilet, but they also used it for other purposes; it is unusual to have a room that you can lock on the street. There are nice pictures of people smoking inside it. The amber of the cigarette glows through the glass in some pictures. For me there was something utopian in how people could appropriate the space.
This utopian dimension is omnipresent in your work. Model for a Public Space, for example, points straightforwardly to an earlier utopian proposition: Vladimir Tatlin's Monument for the Third International. But here the utopian aspects are so prominent that they might make the work shift into discourse rather than art or architecture.
Yes, there is a very clear reference to Tatlin. Another aspect of that piece is the notion of model, in the sense of an architectural maquette. It is projective and it relies on contingent tectonics. All the variations of Model for a Public Space have been structured using scaffolding. Scaffold is not a permanent structure; you can rent it and then you put it up. When it's over you take it down and send it back. You don't have to own it.
It literally creates a space that is not hierarchical, but it also suggests that this non-hierarchical space is contingent in itself. It might be necessary that it remains contingent for it to allow democratic uses. I'm sympathetic to arguments about democracy like those advanced by Jacques Rancière. He is interested in moments when people stand up and perform politics.
Richard Florida is now your colleague at the University of Toronto, and he is also interested in the role of artists and the "creative class" in the transformation of urban spaces. In The Rise of the Creative Class[2], he argues that attracting and retaining cultural producers is the primary condition for developing a city's resources for long-term prosperity. In works like Evicted May 1, 2000 (9 Hanna Avenue), however, you seem to be drawing very different conclusions.
My own interest in artists and gentrification is to think about the solidarity artists have with the community. I think of artists as agents who make choices about their residences, about the spaces of the city they inhabit. I made Evicted May 1, 2000 about artists who got displaced from studios at 9 Hanna Avenue, not very far from Queen street. This zone has been completely redeveloped.
Evicted May 1, 2000 used pinhole photographs to illustrate the transformative potential of artists' studio spaces. In these, I was first interested in the openness offered by generic spaces. Then I was fascinated by the various ways in which people inhabit them. There is also something particular in the relationship between the studio space and the structure of the work, which is a generic pin-hole camera, a box, built to match the box-like architecture. So the camera is a model for a series of generic spaces. The image registers the differences between these rooms.
Your art is so strongly rooted in urban politics that I was surprised to learn you presented a work at the International Garden Festival at Les Jardins de Métis in Gaspésie last summer. Was this a respite from your own practice or were you attempting new ways to address issues that are at the core of your work?
That's a good question. The simple answer is that I'm really interested in making things. We talked earlier about this tension between the publicness of art and the autonomy of the creative process. This is what this piece brought back for me. I made it with Jane Hutton, a landscape architect who is very invested in the relationship between ecology and social use. Together we made a garden called Dymaxion Sleep. The structure is an icosahedron made of steel triangles, with nets spread across the triangles. The structure is suspended over an aromatic garden of mint, eucalyptus, lemon geranium and lavender that grows up under the nets. People can lie down suspended over the garden. As they lie, they are at the center of a connection prompted by gravity, which depresses the nets, and the growth of plants. There is rubbing between the two. That – and people touching the leaves – is what releases the smell from the plants. There are a lot of theoretical ideas that are brought together here in terms of an artwork, an architecture that is very occupyable but which also creates an unusual relationship between people who are not necessarily expecting to lie down together. It's very playful, very ludic.
For an architect it's interesting to test such a structure.
Absolutely. This goes back to the beginning of our discussion. There are things that can happen in art that can't be done in architecture. Working on Dymaxion Sleep made me think about how conservative and restrictive building codes and legislation are. Dymaxion Sleep is totally not up to code. It's a very interesting structure because it couldn't have been built in other places. It's a kind of hypothetical or utopian structure in that sense too. It's a very rewarding experiment.

Fierce fingertips from OPI, Gelish, and Perfect Match
Long nails that last the longest
4 p.m., Dec. 5
An intruder took a shotgun away from an Encinitas homeowner and then tried to kill him with it, according to an attorney who spoke in court yesterday, Wednesday, October 25.
Chuck Edward Neil, 43, pleaded not-guilty to assault and robbery and grand theft at his arraignment, but a private attorney for the victim's family said Neil should be charged with attempted murder. Attorney Gregory Day spoke to the judge and asked for a criminal protective order for the family.
It was still dark last Saturday morning, about 5 a.m. on October 20, when Fred Weston saw an intruder on his one-acre property, according to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff. Weston had recently installed a new surveillance system because of repeated thefts of copper wire from his property, the sheriff stated.
Fred Weston, 62, took his shotgun and went outside and found one intruder, who was in dark clothing, hiding in the bushes; the homeowner ordered the trespasser to march to the gate at the end of his property, according to the sheriff. But the trespasser grabbed the barrel of the shotgun and tried to take it; while the end of the barrel was pointed upward Weston fired one round, hoping it would scare away the stranger, the sheriff reported. However, the intruder was able to take the gun from Weston and smashed him in the face multiple times, breaking his nose and causing other damage, it is alleged.
The intruder began to choke the homeowner with the barrel of the shotgun across his throat, while Weston was on the ground, according to the Sheriff's version.
Family attorney Gregory Day claimed that homeowner Weston was knocked unconcious, and the intruder chose to attempt murder on the helpless man, instead of taking that opportunity to flee.
Weston's wife Lilibeth, 58, and his son Joseph, 18, saw the altercation on their surveillance system and got into the family truck; Mom drove the long driveway to the scene of the assault. The son was able to disable the stranger with a taser, and the family used a belt to hold him until deputies arrived. The sheriff's statement declared: "Deputies found copper cable had been cut and was being collected nearby on the property."
The Weston family has been growing flowers at their location in the 500 block of La Costa Avenue.
San Diego County Sheriff's deputies described Neil as a transient from Escondido, 6 feet 2 inches tall and 170 pounds.
Public records show Neil's arrest record in San Diego County began in January of 1999, when he was 23 years old; there are five cases listed.
What a nightmare! Hope all the Westons are doing well.
Why would you ever let an intruder get anywhere near arms reach of you? What did he think was going to happen?
I agree there nothing that is worth your life he took matters in to his own hands what did he expect he should have just called the cops in the first place someone stealing on your property doesn't give you the right to pull out a gun the only reason you should pull out a gun is if you fear for your safety not to shoot someone that's stealing on your property
Having and using firearms for self-protection and to protect property can work against you. This sort of outcome is a frequent one, where the firearm is turned against the person trying to use it. It requires a certain ruthlessness that many of us just don't have to threaten to shoot a thief or attacker and then do it. There are some writers who tell homeowners that if they have an intruder in the home they should just shoot with no warning. That's scary because too often the "intruder" is a family member. This incident could have had a tragic outcome for Fred Weston.
Getting a gun for protection is not enough. If one is going to have a gun, shotgun, rifle or whatever, one should get appropriate training in the care, use and law.
Defendant Chuck Neil is in custody, and is next due in the Vista courthouse on November 1, at 8:30, before Honorable judge Daniel Goldstein.
Chuck Neil is next due in San Diego's North County superior courthouse in Vista, California on December 11, at 8:30 a.m. in Dept 6. They could confirm a date for preliminary hearing at that time. Or make a plea deal. Neil pleads not-guilty to all charges.
what a scumbag
Chuck Neil is due in the Vista courthouse tomorrow morning, Wednesday December 18, 2018, for a preliminary hearing. The prosecutor is expected to reveal evidence that will convince a judge to order the defendant held to all charges. Department 5 at 8:45 a.m. in San Diego's North County Superior Courthouse.

Dogs In Workout Gear. Need We Say More?
All April Fools' Day jokes should be this cute.
We love any excuse to watch cute pups, and dogs getting down to cardio dance definitely makes the cut. Cue the new Zumba for Dogs class, which is sold out already—though that's because the workout is an elaborate April Fools' joke thanks to BarkBox and Zumba.
Since puppy sneakers and human + dog yoga classes already exist, the cardio dance class idea doesn't seem that far-fetched.
So start your Wednesday by watching these little guys shake it. And if you feel like spreading the joke, use the hashtag #Zumba4Dogs and you'll be entered to win a one-month BarkBox gift card.

The news is out: Plated Head Chef Elana is pregnant! And with pregnancy comes pregnancy cravings. The other week, Chef Elana—always on the go—snagged a piece of chocolate zucchini bread from a local cafe, and it really hit the spot. Inspired by all the zucchini we've been going through in the Test Kitchen (summer produce for the win!), Chef Michelle took it upon herself to recreate the chocolatey loaf herself. Let's just say that we've since made it over five times, and it's never left the Plated Test Kitchen. Yeah, it's really good.
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
.5 tsp salt
.25 tsp cinnamon
.75 cup sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini (1 large zucchini)
.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
+ Turbinado sugar for top
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a loaf pan. Place butter in a large bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted. Whisk in oil and sugar until pale and fluffy.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk eggs and vanilla into a bowl with butter until fully combined. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture in 3 separate additions, stirring gently to fully incorporate.
Fold in zucchini and chocolate chips. Place batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Transfer to oven and cook until browned on top and cooked through in the center, 50–60 minutes.

Stephanie eats a lot of junk food: donuts, fried chicken, pineapple upside-down cake, meatball subs, and pizza.
Stephanie does very little exercising.
Stephanie's car blows up.
Stephanie takes her Grandma Mazur to a wake at the local funeral home to try and figure out a mystery she has somehow stumbled across.
Stephanie's friend Lula (former prostitute, plus-sized, and super confident) shoots someone and there are no repercussions.
Stephanie must try to choose between the two beautiful men in her life: Handsome cop Joe (who wants to settle down and have a family) and mysterious and dangerous Ranger (who wants no strings attached).
All of these things happen in book 18. In addition, Lula falls under the spell of a love potion gone wrong, Ranger and Joe get into a mysterious brawl in Hawaii, Stephanie's mortal enemy Joyce Barnhardt is presumed dead, and someone (actually, many people) are trying to kill Stephanie because of a strange picture that somehow ended up in her bag on an airplane.
I know these books are formulaic and that the plots repeat themselves over and over again…and yet, I always look forward to reading the next installment. I enjoy peeking into Stephanie's life and seeing what outrageous (and completely implausible) situation she and her friends have gotten themselves into. Evanovich has created a ridiculous little world filled with equally ridiculous characters, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Looking forward to book 19. And no, I won't be seeing the upcoming Katherine Heigl movie…it just doesn't look right to me (although kudos for casting Debbie Reynolds as Grandma and Sherri Shephard as Lula). Maybe on Netflix.

Dump Trump: End the Special Relationship Now
Any civilised or sensible government would be breaking links with Trump's regime
Saturday's fantastic global women's protests proved Trump is the most unpopular new US president ever. No presidential inauguration has been met with anything approaching this scale of popular outrage and revulsion. The demonstrations were multiple times bigger than the organisers expected and they brought together a whole range of grievances and anxieties.
Trump's sexism, racism, xenophobia and aggressive foreign policies have put him beyond the pale for millions round the world and they have concentrated minds on uniting effective opposition. That is why it is so disgraceful that Theresa May is rushing to meet him.
Any civilised or sensible government would be breaking links with him. Instead Theresa May is packing her bags as quickly as possible for the trip to Washington to show her support for the new regime.
Trump has promised to escalate military intervention in the Middle East, to increase the US nuclear arsenal and overall military spending. He has provoked China, threatened North Korea and now is pushing to move the US Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, a move that will anger millions around the world.
We have been here before. The so called 'special relationship' has given us and the world nothing but grief. Margaret Thatcher's dalliance with Ronald Reagan helped ensure the global ascendancy of free market economics that has done so much damage over the last four decades. Tony Blair's intimate ties with George Bush brought us the invasion of Iraq and all the horrors that followed.
We must demand now that our government breaks ties with the Trump regime and ends the special relationship. Only then can we begin to move away from war and towards a sane foreign policy.
Stop the War is asking all its members and supporters to sign the petition calling for an end to the special relationship and also to use it to strengthen the movement. People were queuing to sign it on the Women's March on London. The petition can be downloaded and used in communities, colleges and workplaces. You can organize street stalls to promote it and send the link around your union branch or campaign network.
We need to keep building the pressure on the Theresa May's shameful government over this and at the same time lay the basis for the monumental protests should Donald Trump ever have the nerve to visit Britain.
Sign the 'End the Special Relationship' Petition here.

If you want furniture that is driven by a tradition of quality, style and Italian luxury, then Sparco Home & Lifestyle by ef+facto is in the victory lane.
Sparco is a renowned Italian auto part and accessory company that aspired to increase safety in the racing world. The two talented racecar drivers who founded Sparco did just that and so much more. They changed the look of the racing world and added a stylish edge to their products. They not only revolutionized safety on the racetrack, but also created a new design norm for race cars and drivers' suits in the process.
Through the years, Sparco has branched out by sharing their vision with the fashion and furniture industries. Effacto is a company that brings extraordinary designers together in order to transform their customers' dreams into exquisite quality products. Their furniture designs are unique works of art, intended to be appreciate for a lifetime. So when Sparco and Effacto blended together, a unique, stylish and winning team was formed, creating the Sparco Home & Lifestyle by ef+facto Collection: Art Inspired Furniture. These pieces are more than just functional furniture, they are exceptional designs that are truly works of art created for this unique and artistic collection.
1. Ewan:
Pay close attention to Ewan, an elegant chair that is made out of very exclusive materials. Carbon fiber and wooden leather are carefully mixed with a steel rod structure creating a vintage yet industrial look. The designers had comfort in mind too. The gorgeous Ewan is adjustable, so comfort is as important as the undeniable style. This elegant chair is perfect for any decor style and room in the house.
2. T-Racing Bedside Table:
This minimal bedside table offers maximum functionality and beauty. Inspired by Sparco's rich race car history, the pairing of gorgeous wood and carbon rods beautifully marry to create a design that's a winning addition to any home. Decorative, thanks to the artist's distinctive eye, and functional for its strength and storage availability.
3. T-Racing Floor Lamp:
Just like Sparco's T-Racing Bedside table, the eye-catching T-Racing Floor Lamp features a series of carbon rods that act as a structural component and give it an industrial feel. The lamp's shade is unique, as its translucent fabric shines light throughout any room, creating an extraordinary glow. These are only three designs from the Sparco Home & Lifestyle by ef+facto Collection. Browse our website and see how each piece is created to be treasured. Add one to your home or give it as a special gift to someone who appreciates attention to detail and exceptional style, just as the Sparco racing team envisioned so many years ago. This collection is truly a winner.

The Last Straw – Josh Gordon Released
If you're like me, you were relaxing this Saturday evening watching college football, contemplating the potential outcome of the Alvarez/Golovkin fight tonight. LSU upset Auburn. Alabama was walking all over Ole Miss. I was happy to be watching games where I didn't have a horse in the race, stress-free so to speak. Then reality happened as I was jolted from my seat…the Browns release Josh Gordon. It was a jarring moment less than an hour ago which injected a flurry of emotions in this Cleveland fan.
Announcing tonight the impending release of Gordon, Browns GM John Dorsey released the following statement, "This afternoon we informed Josh Gordon and his representatives that we are going to release him on Monday. For the past six years, the Browns have fully supported and invested in Josh, both personally and professionally and wanted the best for him, but unfortunately, we've reached a point where we feel it's best to part ways and move forward. We wish Josh well."
It's no secret what Gordon has gone through the last three years. His substance addiction, whether to drugs, alcohol or both, has been well documented in the press, but no one can accuse the Browns as an organization for not being loyal to this über talented athlete. In all honesty, I cannot name any other scenario in any of the four big sports where a team spent so much of their time and resources on a single player in hopes of weathering the storm and getting their man back on the field. It's especially surprising since the Browns stuck with Gordon through what feels like a decade (reality dictates less time of course) only to cut ties after one game of the 2018 season.
But is it really surprising?
There's that initial shock that he's no longer part of the team. Then after a few minutes, that eroded and gave way to the recent memories of frustration when Gordon repeated his addiction-related behavior again and again. I am not athletically gifted in the same galaxy that Gordon was. If I had his route-running prowess, his hands of glue and physical stature, you can bet I would work my tail off to maintain my career in the NFL. It's absolutely head-scratching watching someone with his abilities squander all that talent. I'll just come out and say it. Were consistency on his agenda, Gordon could have been a Hall of Famer.
That will never happen now.
Now back to Dorsey's statement. There are four words that may, on the surface, seem to be a string of supporting professional dialogue in announcing Gordon's departure. However, "we've reached a point" is more like a dagger, thrown with calculating precision. Those words are a veil of anger, frustration and a telltale sign that something more than just Gordon reporting late to the team Saturday morning was the lone issue. If Josh Gordon were an animal, he'd be a cat for having nine lives with not just the Browns, but the NFL in general. You can scratch number nine off the list as the once record-setting wide receiver threw his career in a bonfire and proceeded to dance around it.
Whether it was a pulled hamstring at a photo shoot or tardiness to team responsibility, there are too many past issues that brought us all to this point. Perhaps another team will take a wide-eyed leap at Josh Gordon, eager to add the receiver to their roster. Perhaps there's a grand understanding amongst owners and GM's in the league that they would have never tolerated the ongoing addiction struggles that Gordon fought/indulged/experienced. Either way, football longevity is off the table for his future and at the end of the day, he has only himself to blame.

It's true. I was interviewed about my role as a "volunteer coordinator." Chi Alpha is run by a LOT of student input & direction, but someone has to wrangle all of that potential! I spend lots & lots of time texting, facebooking, and meeting up with people to make sure Chi Alpha goes well! I actually never really thought of myself as a volunteer coordinator until the FABULOUS, AMAZING, and HILARIOUS Morgan asked if she could interview me for her class. I thought it gave a little bit of a different perspective on my job and I thought I'd post the answers here.
(Also- hopefully this redeems the time I called Morgan a weirdo on my blog. Also, Morgan- I have a question for you- What happened to all the crooners? How come nobody croons anymore?)
Without further ado, here you go:
Tell me a little about yourself and how your educational, career or personal experiences have led you to this position.
My name is Katie Cannon and I have a degree in Social Work from ASU. Social work is largely about connecting people to resources and empowering them to make decisions. As a student, I was involved in Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship. It had such a radical impact on me and my family, that I knew that I wanted to be a part of that for other people. My position with Chi Alpha is deeply personally satisfying and allows me to use my degree while having A LOT of fun.
How did you know you were a good fit for this position?
Other people identified skills in me that I thought came naturally for everyone. I enjoy bringing people together and naturally have high energy. I like people. All of these things were necessary for the position.
What skills are important to possess for your position?
Patience, flexibility, grace, and a sense of humor. Things change quickly, people are unpredictable, and you have to be ready to roll with anything.
What does an average day look like for you?
Every day is a little bit different for me. Most days consist of administrative work (lots of emails, facebook messages, texts, etc). I do a fair bit of fundraising- sharing the vision with other people. Weekly, I attend meetings with other campus leaders. I also am constantly planning events- this is where much of the volunteer coordination comes in. I also update all social media- Twitter, facebook, our blog, and website.
Why do you enjoy your work, and what do you like most about your position?
I enjoy my work because I really believe in what I'm doing. I believe that, by impacting the morals and ethics of today's students, we can have an impact on the entire global community. Like I said before, it's so much fun!!!!
My favorite part of the job is when people "catch" the vision and start to take ownership for the organization. It can be challenging and take a while, but there is nothing better than seeing someone really run after their dreams.
What do you like most about working with volunteers?
I like working with volunteers because they are full of ideas and passion. I love working with people and I get to spend so much time with people! I like that people are willing to work hard for a cause with out getting anything in return.
What do you like least about working with volunteers?
The hardest part of working with volunteers is that they can be difficult to discipline. You can't "fire" them for having a bad attitude or not showing up. You want them to come back, to keep helping, but sometimes issues come up that you have to confront. Some volunteers can be flaky or non committal or change their mind at a moment's notice. That can make planning really hard.
Can you share the details of your methods of recruitment, interviewing, matching volunteers to positions, training, supervision, and recognition? Do you see any room for improvement in these areas?
The majority of the volunteers that I interact with are recruited internally. They have been involved in the organization and have expressed interest in helping out. We have a training weekend at the beginning of the school year that involves teaching and training on the mission & values of the organization and some organizational details. This weekend also allows for relational bonding that is a high value in our organization. A contract is presented to each volunteer that outlines expectations and requirements. It is good for one school year. Most are not interviewed, though we will probably move towards that in the future. As far as matching students to positions, that is done by selecting students that seem to have a particular skill or could develop a skill. For instance, usually students who have been very involved in a small group and generally have a positive attitude will make good small group leaders. These decisions are made by a small group of staff members.
I think we could improve on many, if not all, of these areas. I'd love to see a more structured system of getting people to volunteer and some more official recognition in place.
Explain the mission and purpose of this organization and describe specifically how volunteers support the mission of the organization. Do you have methods of evaluating and reporting this community impact?
The mission of our organization is to transform the university, marketplace, and the world. We believe that, by teaching Biblical values and morality, we can have a huge impact on the next generation and the course of history. By teaching leadership skills and characters the businesses, schools, and laboratories of the world will have better people in them. We believe that much of this is "caught" rather than "taught." Therefore, we place a high priority on community and relationship.
We don't have any specific methods of evaluating the impact other than keeping in contact with alumni.
What is the biggest challenge you face as a volunteer manager? Do you have thoughts on the best method to address this challenge?
The biggest challenge I face is getting people motivated and getting people to follow through on what they say they are going to do. Like I said before, people can be really flaky and don't understand that their choices have a broader impact on the community. It can also be hard to communicate the vision or purpose in mundane tasks. I don't want to be hyper controlling or mean- I want people to enjoy volunteering for Chi Alpha and to get a lot out of it, but I also want jobs done well and efficiently.
I'm not sure what the best method is to combat this. Perhaps our selection process could be refined to have volunteers that really understood the commitment level needed. I think a more formal recognition system might be helpful, as well. Maybe I could just accept that I'll have to be "mean" sometimes to get things done!

Ok, maybe I don't exactly have a diagnosis in this…but I'm pretty much convinced that I have Selective ADHD and OCD.
What does that even mean? Well…it means I have a very flitting attention span. I can bounce from one topic to another and literally give you whiplash. I bounce off the walls about these subjects too. I can't seem to focus on one thing at the same time.
My house has to be clean like all the time. Seeing toys and stepping on legos aggravates me and literally turns me into Dragon Yelly Mom. I may (or may not…I'm not admitting or denying anything) have screeched "I will light these lego pieces on fire if they aren't picked up RIGHT NOW" at the top of my lungs while rubbing my aching foot. Probably not the most zen-like behavior. In my mind; I am zen-like. That counts, right?
I go on cleaning rampages. I can't focus on one goddamn thing though so it takes me so much longer. I'll be in the kitchen, washing dishes and scrubbing counters, and I'll pretty much scoot over to the living room to pick up toys and leave the sink running. I know, bad and totally shameful for the environment and maybe this wouldn't happen if my beloved children would pick up the toys the first time I ask them…but I digress. That's the selective ADHD kicking in with the selective OCD. My house has to be clean or I twitch and tremble until I've made it clean. It's selective, though, because I can kind of turn it off with a good book or an idea for an amazing blog post about selective ADHD and OCD.
I've come to the roaring conclusion, however, that this is motherhood. This is normal behavior of a mother of small children. We so rarely get a moment to ourselves that even our thoughts and conversations are interrupted by ourselves in our own desperation to just get the damn sentence out (or finish the damn task, or thought).
Maybe it's selective ADHD and/or OCD, but it's probably just motherhood.

Trevor Jackson x Pre
Producer and designer Trevor Jackson recently wrapped up a series of releases on a specially set up label whose sole purpose was to share his unreleased music from the last 15 years. What's made this endeavor particularly interesting beyond the great music is the approach Jackson has taken to the design.
I was first introduced to Trevor Jackson in the form of his production moniker Underdog on Mo'Wax. Jackson went on to found the influential Output Records, responsible for signing Fridge and in turn bringing Four Tet to the world and the first label to release LCD Soundsystem. Jackson also flirted with the mainstream with his chart topping project Playgorup. All the while producing consistently forward thinking design work for a range of clients.

The Easter holidays are coming closer and millions of chocolate Easter Bunnies and other figures are waiting on supermarket shelves to grace consumers' Easter baskets.
In Germany alone 220 million chocolate Easter Bunnies were produced in 2018 (compared with 202 million in 2017, an increase of 8 per cent), of which 121 million are sold in Germany while almost 100 million are exported to other countries. The primary export regions are the European Union, the United States, Canada and Australia.
Chocolate Easter Bunnies even outperform their greatest rival – the chocolate Santa Clause, with only 150 million being produced 2018. But the Bunny and Santa have one big thing in common – they both prefer to be wrapped in a shiny coat of aluminium foil printed in a variety of colours.
"Aluminium foil continues to be the packaging material of choice for many reasons," explains Marika Knorr, deputy executive director of the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA). "Firstly, aluminium foil provides great barrier functions, offering complete protection from the light and other external influences that might be harmful to maintaining food quality. Secondly, the dead fold properties of aluminium foil allows it to be wrapped securely to the product, adhering to the contours of the shapes, where it remains until ready to be unwrapped by the consumer."
"After consumption the aluminium foil ideally is scrunched and can move on to its next life. At the moment the recycling rate of aluminium packaging in Germany is over 80 per cent," Marika Knorr adds. "All over Europe aluminium foil is increasingly collected and recycled and at the same time we observe to an increasing consumer awareness for recycling and sustainability."
Many European packaging companies have a long history of producing printed foil for Easter Bunnies, Santa Clauses and other chocolate figures. The patented method, which involves aluminium foil being produced industrially and rolled, has been in existence for more than 100 years. Since then, chocolate producers in Europe and the USA have been wrapping their high quality products in aluminium foil.

Thus when the will, which is an intermediate good, holds fast to the unchangeable good as something common rather than private – like the truth, which we have discussed at length without saying anything adequate – a person grasps the happy life. and the happy life, i.e. the attachment of the mind holding fast to the unchangeable good, is the proper and fundamental good for a human being. It also includes all the virtues, which no one can use for evil. although the virtues are great and fundamental goods in human beings, we thoroughly understand that they are proper to each person, not that they are common. Truth and wisdom, however, are common to all, and people become wise and happy by holding fast to them. of course, one person does not become happy by the happiness of another. even if you emulate another in order to be happy, you seek to become happy by means of what you saw made the other person happy, namely through the unchangeable and common truth. Nor does anyone become prudent by another person's prudence, or is made courageous by another's courage, or moderate by another's moderateness, or just by another's justice. Instead, you conform your mind to those unchangeable rules and beacons of the virtues, which live uncorruptibly in the truth itself and in the wisdom that is common, to which the person furnished with virtues whom you put forward as a model for your emulation has conformed and directed his mind.
Therefore, when the will adheres to the common and unchangeable good, it achieves the great and fundamental goods of a human being, despite being an intermediate good. But the will sins when it is turned away from the unchangeable and common good, towards its private good, or towards something external, or towards something lower. The will is turned to its private good when it wants to be in its own power; it is turned to something external when it is eager to know the personal affairs of other people, or anything that is not its business; it is turned to something lower when it takes delight in bodily pleasures. And thus someone who is made proud or curious or lascivious is captured by another life that, in comparison to the higher life, is death. (De libero arbitrio 2.19.52., trans. Peter King)

Cristiano Ronaldo or saturate a single signature Gucci
If there is something you can not deny Cristiano Ronaldo at least in fashion terms, is that he still has much to learn . In sport, both literally and figuratively speaking if we look at fashion, the kid known to operate with ease and rushes their looks the most: it tries to be smart enough with a joint or at least colorful, and commitment to the aerodynamic design and comfort. But as goes outside the playing field, all the glamor is lost unless you do something to bet a lot lately: go "all against one to one brand. And of course if we talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, the firm is Gucci .
More than a football player looks like a model straight out of the runways of the Autumn / Winter 2010/2011 of the Italian firm, with some flattering garments like leather jackets aviator style and collar black or the high blockbuster films -top in shades of cream and dark brown that gave so much trouble last year. Pants, shirt baker, belt and Gucci sunglasses and also underwear I can not say anything. And here is all that we can take the course of the whole Portugal.
His obsession with brands like Gucci, Armani or Calvin Klein, you have to copy every detail of the runway with better or worse but never the same as the original. What I am going with this? For many sometimes lacking in our chosen looks a personal touch , a touch that define our chosen model has been built by us and not merely a copy.
This means that we ourselves know that we have good (in most cases we know) and what not, and how we feel comfortable clothes and identified. It may seem a cursilez as a cathedral but the truth is that clothing does not define us but we who we end up defining it , which is why many times the same item feel differently to people who at first seems physically equal .
And I'm sorry, until I proved otherwise, Cristiano Ronaldo the only mark on all their outfits are tacky dose end as long as you do not catch you as is the case, looks completely removed from a single gateway. My advice: encourage one to combine, seek advice from those closest to him and especially to Mensencia check it out, you can always find good advice in order to build your personal style .

The Rise of Transnational Corporations from Emerging Markets
Threat or Opportunity?
Edited by Karl P. Sauvant
Chapter 4: The Transnationalization of Supply Chain Management: The Experience of Brazilian Industrial Companies
Paulo T.V. Resende and Alvaro Bruno Cyrino
Paulo T.V. Resende and Alvaro Bruno Cyrino INTRODUCTION Corporate decisions to push business deeper into foreign markets have important implications for the modus operandi and the performance of any company. Traditionally, the motivation to internationalize is largely based on economic reasons (for example, business growth, lower costs), with effects for other areas. The logic behind the ambition to become a global company, then, is to increase market share, while concurrently achieving cost reductions through scale economies. The expansion into uncharted territories involves a rethinking of most business functions, including activities related to supply chain management, such as purchasing, logistics, production, sales and distribution. But compared to the expansion in domestic markets, the risks and uncertainties of global markets are much higher, in spite of the potential growth of revenues and profit margins. Given various risks and uncertainties, emerging transnational corporations (TNCs) from developing countries (companies expanding their international presence beyond exports) first seek possibilities for gaining market share in their domestic markets before tapping foreign ones. Yet since the 1990s, several Brazilian companies have searched for new opportunities in international markets through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), facing in the process new challenges to avoid potential failures. One of the most important issues in the context of reducing risks and uncertainties is supply chain management. First, because global markets are not homogenous, the product and business model needs adaptation to different conditions. Second, companies have to add capacity, often at breakneck speed and at a global level,...

Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke praises Youssouf Mulumbu after midfielder netted winner over Celtic days after nearly leaving Rugby Park
The former West Brom ace was close to a January move to Bordeaux before the deal fell through at the last minute
STEVE CLARKE claims GOD was smiling on Kilmarnock after Youssouf Mulumbu's winner against Celtic.
The Rugby Park boss revealed the midfielder was on his way OUT of the club this week after agreeing a move to Bordeaux.
But Mulumbu's switch collapsed at the last minute — and days later he grabbed all three points against Celtic.
Clarke said: "Youssouf could have gone but someone was looking after us. He is key for the team. I said it was important not to lose our key players in the window and we managed to do that, so credit to the club.
"There was interest in him in the window but it was a deal that fell through, fortunately.
"You never know what to expect from the transfer window.
"I was hopeful he would be here but once a club came sniffing there was always the possibility we could lose him.
"But thankfully it fell through and we get the benefit.
"You see his quality and his performance doesn't surprise me.
"The only surprise was him scoring — he's not exactly prolific.
"But it has capped a good performance and you see how happy he was out there. He comes in every day with a smile on his face. Youssouf came here to enjoy his football and play.
"He had an unfortunate time towards the end at West Brom where he wasn't selected.
"He went to Norwich and it didn't quite work out either, but he's a boy who just wants to run around that pitch, make tackles and passes.
"He looks as though he enjoys it so we'll enjoy it while he's here."
Clarke has transformed Killie in the last few months and they were deserving winners against the champions.
The Hoops barely created a chance and the Rugby Park boss reckons his team should have scored more.
Clarke added: "That's four wins in a row for us at Rugby Park and it was a good performance.
"It took us a bit of time to grow into the game but when we did we were good.
"With a little bit more quality and composure we could have made it an easier last five minutes for the coach!
"You always know against Celtic they'll get one chance and I think they managed a shot on target near the end.
"The fact Celtic didn't really create a chance tells you we defended really well as a team.
"The front two were excellent defensively, they worked their socks off for the team, which gives you the platform for the block of eight behind them to do the same work.
"The were disciplined and we frustrated Celtic.
"They found it difficult to break us down."

Bilawal Bhutto's convoy attacked with stones by Lyari's residents
KARACHI (92 News) – Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's convoy came under attack as disgruntled residents of Lyari's Bihar Colony protestors pelted stones at his convoy on Sunday during his first rally of election campaign.
As per details garnered, the protestor attacked with stones on the rally of election campaign near Agra Taj Colony, whereas the women and children come on the roof with pots and raised slogan "give water".
The protesters pelted the convoy with stones, smashing windows of the vehicles. Bilawal's convoy remains stuck in the area for half an hour as police and the PPP worker are unable to diffuse the situation. The route of the Bilawal's convoy was changed due to the angry protestors.
Layari's PML-N candidate Saleem Raza has said that the people from Layari are deprived from basic facilities and needs of life even they have no water for daily use of life. He added that he condemned as a political activist for this type of protests.
On the other hand, Bilawal Bhutto's spokesperson, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, in a statement assured that the PPP election campaign will continue in Sindh.
He requested party workers to remain peaceful saying the violence will not be responded to with violence.
Khokar further asked the police and Ranger to ensure peace and also requested the Election Commission of Pakistan to take notice of the incident.
Opposition Leader in Senate and PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman said that the PPP conducted peaceful rally but under a planned conspiracy, attempts are being made to make this rally as controversial. She said that the party will continue his political way, this type of acts could not stop the way.
The rally is being diverted to other areas where PPP enjoys good support. Bilawal Bhutto is contesting from NA-246, Karachi.
"This is my first election and I'm contesting my first election from #Lyari. People of Lyari always supported my mother Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and I know they will also support me. I will complete the mission of SMBB," he told his supporters during the visit.
