Invisible-5 is a self-guided critical audio tour along Interstate 5 between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It uses the format of a museum audio tour to guide the listener along the highway landscape. Invisible-5 investigates the stories of people and communities fighting for environmental justice along the I-5 corridor, through oral histories, field recordings, found sound, recorded music, and archival audio documents. The project also traces natural, social, and economic histories along the route. Sites along the tour, which can be driven in either direction, include Livermore, Crows Landing, Kesterson NWR, Kettleman City, and Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles. The free, downloadable program in MP3 format along with the printable PDF booklet is available at the project's website.
Invisible-5 was produced collaboratively between three artists and two organizations; lead artist, Amy Balkin; artist, Kim Stringfellow; sound designer, Tim Halbur; and non-profit organizations, Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice and Pond: Art, Activism, and Ideas. The project was supported through a grant from the Creative Work Fund.
Invisible-5 was featured on "The California Report" produced by NPR affiliate KQED on Friday, October 13th, 2006. Exhibitions include an Atlas, a traveling U.S. exhibition of artists working within radical cartography and The City Is A Blazing, Burning Bonfire at Cubitt in London during 2011. Amy Balkin and Kim Stringfellow participated in the Los Angeles Central Library's ALOUD Lecture Series: Ground Truth: Mapping the Invisible Landscape on November 9, 2008. The panel was moderated by Matt Coolidge, Director of the Center for Land Use Interpretation. Emily Eliza Scott's essay Field Effects: Invisible-5's Illumination of Peripheral Geographies published in CAA's Art Journal for the Winter 2010 issue featured this project.

Soviet Asia, the latest book from Fuel, focuses on the Soviet modernist architecture of Central Asia. Stefano Perego and Roberto Conte documented buildings from the Soviet republics of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, all built from the 1950s to the fall of the USSR.
This is a fascinating collection, which shows the Asian influence on the brutalist aesthetic and, through the use of intricate pattern and mosaic work, the prominence of Islamic and Persian architectural and design elements.
As with their other books on Soviet architecture, there are some staggeringly beautiful, monumental and otherworldly buildings to be found within.

In the beginning…
We grew up in Yorkshire, famous for the humble Yorkshire Pudding, cricket, Old Mother Shipton – check her out, Yorkshire's very own answer to Nostradamus, the Yorkshire Dales, James Herriott and deep philosophical statements like "There's nowt so queer as folk." Translation: "People are so interesting you really should study them." So we did.
Walking the Lifelong Learning Talk
Then we decided to explore. Curious about folk we travelled and worked around the world, as far afield as Australasia and Tibet and everywhere inbetween. We discovered other cultures, inspiring values and many ways of perceiving the world. We saw how people respond to life's challenges in a myriad of different ways and our passion for psychology was ignited. That passion led us to degrees, masters and work based PhD research. However much we love to be part time boffins we recognise that fascinating as theory is, it's got to have a practical application. That's why we're all about practical tools for positive change at PCG.
Making a difference
It would be easy to look at some of the big name companies that we work with now and think that's how things have always been. But we haven't always worked with international clients. We cut our teeth somewhere very different. After losing a parent at a young age we were acutely aware that it's easy to be blindsided by traumatic events. We realised that not everyone starts life with the same level of resilience and for some it can feel like a mountain to overcome challenging life events. We wanted to make a real difference, so we began applying psychological theory to support people living in inner city London who were homeless, experiencing mental health issues and young people at risk of offending. We also worked overseas in United Nations refugee camps. We knew that practical tools for positive change could be learned and were passionate about supporting people to develop the skills to do just that.
We still do pro bono work today alongside our corporate clients for causes that we truly believe in.
Quality and Expertise
Eventually we started our own companies. The feedback was great! People we worked with loved what we did and how we did it, we built a solid reputation as experts with clients around the world. We made a decision to maintain our independence and not partner with larger, impersonal training organisations. Quality and expertise are paramount to us. It's what our clients deserve. We guarantee high quality by ensuring that everything with the PCG touch is designed and delivered by a qualified expert in their field. Someone with real world experience, who knows the theory, has road tested it and successfully put it into practice.
So where does Oak Cottage come in?
For a long time we dreamed about working together somewhere beautiful, somewhere peaceful that we could share with others on our courses. We spent years getting up at 4am, doing 15 hour days or more, pushing ourselves to develop our companies and support the Koru Trust until one day an opportunity presented itself. And so, we grabbed it and followed our dream. Set alongside the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Lakeland Site, Oak Cottage and Owl Barn were perfect. We fell in love with them straight away and hope that you will too. We now divide our time between our international work, London and the mindfulness courses we run at Oak Cottage, our 17th century, Cumbrian farmhouse. We look forward to meeting you, wherever that may be.

Hammer Toe Causing Knee Pain
Hammertoes are quite common and may range from mild to severe. A Hammertoes is a contracture, or bending, of one or more toes, usually due to an imbalance between the muscles or tendons on the top and bottom of the toes. Over time, the affected toes lose flexibility, becoming rigid and fixed in a contracted position. The abnormal bend positions the knuckle of the toe upward, causing it to push against the top of the shoe leading to additional problems. The condition usually becomes progressively worse if not treated.
A person may be born with hammer toe or may develop it from wearing short, narrow shoes. Hammer toe can occur in children who outgrow shoes rapidly. Sometimes hammer toe is genetic and is caused by a nerve disorder in the foot. High heeled shoes are can also cause hammer toe. The reason for this is that the toes are not only bunched up, but the weight of the body is pushing them forward even further.
At first, a hammertoe or mallet toe may maintain its flexibility and lie flat when you're not wearing crowded footwear. But eventually, the tendons of the toe may contract and tighten, causing your toe to become permanently stiff. Your shoes can rub against the raised portion of the toe or toes, causing painful corns or calluses.
The exam may reveal a toe in which the near bone of the toe (proximal phalanx) is angled upward and the middle bone of the toe points in the opposite direction (plantar flexed). Toes may appear crooked or rotated. The involved joint may be painful when moved, or stiff. There may be areas of thickened skin (corns or calluses) on top of or between the toes, a callus may also be observed at the tip of the affected toe beneath the toenail. An attempt to passively correct the deformity will help elucidate the best treatment option as the examiner determines whether the toe is still flexible or not. It is advisable to assess palpable pulses, since their presence is associated with a good prognosis for healing after surgery. X-rays will demonstrate the contractures of the involved joints, as well as possible arthritic changes and bone enlargements (exostoses, spurs). X-rays of the involved foot are usually performed in a weight-bearing position.
Non Surgical Treatment
Inserts in your shoes can be used to help relieve pressure on the toes from the deformity. Splints/Straps. These can be used to help re-align and stretch your toes and correct the muscle imbalance and tendon shortening. One of the most common types are toe stretchers like the yogatoe. Chiropody. A chiropodist can remove calluses or corns, areas of hard skin that have formed to make the foot more comfortable.Steroid injections can help to reduce pain and inflammation.
Surgical Treatment
If conservative treatments fail and your symptoms persist, the doctor may recommend a surgical option to straighten the toe. The procedures used vary greatly, depending upon the reasons for the hammertoe. There are a number of different operations to correct hammertoes, the most common ones involve Soft tissue corrections such as tendon transfers, tendon lengthening, and joint capsule repairs. Digital arthroplasty involves removal of bone from the bent joint to allow the toe to straighten. The temporary use of pins or K-wires may be necessary to keep the toe straight during the healing period. Joint implants are sometimes used to allow for a better range of motion in the toe following surgery. Digital arthrodesis involves the removal of bone from the bent joint and fusing the toe in a straight position. If the corn is due to a bone spur, the most common procedure used is an exostectomy, in which surgically removing it or filing it down removes the bone spur. Because of the possible complications involved with any surgery, one should be sure to understand the risks that may be involved with surgery to correct hammertoes and remove bone spurs.

There is still a chance of rain Tuesday night as a front coming from the Midwest sweeps into our region. But the bigger impact could be on the Wednesday morning commute.
The front could bring isolated thunderstorms overnight, according to NBC Washington meteorologist Veronica Johnson.
Severe thunderstorm watches issued for parts of the D.C. area until 10 p.m., but chief meteorologist Doug Kammerer doesn't expect any storms in the D.C. area before 1 a.m. Click here to monitor watches and warnings.
Kammerer doesn't expect severe storms Wednesday morning, but there could be some damaging winds. The main issue likely will be rain, which is expected to be falling throughout the area around the morning rush, ending by about noon.
After the front goes by, it will turn much cooler by dawn Wednesday, with overnight lows in the low 50s. Rain could hamper the morning commute.
Much cooler weather will be in place during the day on Wednesday, along with a blustery northwesterly wind. Highs Wednesday afternoon will only be around 60.
Thursday is looking much better, with sunny skies and afternoon highs reaching near 70.

"Surely this Instruction which I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach. It is not in the heavens…no, the thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it." These words from Parasha Nitzavim are always read on the Shabbat preceding Rosh Hashanah, reminding us that being part of the Jewish people, those committed to living life by the Torah (i.e. the Instruction) is not reserved for some spiritual elite (in the heavens). Rather, Judaism is a concrete way of life on this earth we are meant to practice. The parasha goes on to remind us that the practice of Judaism is based on walking a path of good, life and blessing.
This Sunday evening, we begin a new month (Tishrei) and a new year – 5777. Tishrei corresponds to the astrological sign of Libra, or the scales. As we begin the New Year, we reflect on the old one and examine our deeds. The rabbis teach that few are perfectly good or wicked; rather, we weigh the balance of our deeds over the year past and think of ways to add to the scale of good, life and blessing. One of the central prayers of the days of awe from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur, U'nataneh Tokef, teaches that through teshuvah, tefillah and tzedakah add to the right scale.
Teshuvah requires us to attempt to heal broken relationships; tefillah requires us to examine ourselves in an honest and critical way while working for spiritual growth; tzedakah requires us to approach the other with an open and giving hand. These teachings about self mastery and improvement are "not too baffling nor beyond reach." While they do require practice and effort, they are "in our mouth and our heart, to observe it."
So many people in the world are seeking happiness. Yet, in Judaism, we do not wish each other a "happy new year", but rather a "good new year". We believe that happiness is actually a derivative of good. Judasim, as learned through study of Torah and judicious practice of its mitzvot, teaches us to live spiritually and ethically, embracing good, life and blessing.
Shabbat shalom and Shana Tova, a good year.

Where To Stay In Portland, Oregon
Portland, Oregon is a great tourist town, with so many hotel options. I think we all know how huge of a Starwood Hotel fan I am, so I was keen to check out their offerings, before I made any decisions about where to stay in Portland, Oregon.
We were headed to Portland for a long weekend of eating, and to take part in the annual the bike riding extravaganza of the summer, Summer Parkways.
I began my hotel hunt, by checking out starwood.com to see which properties were available in Portland. The Westin Portland, looked pretty from the photos, and it was only a three-minute walk from Pioneer Square, a hub of Portland activity.
Westin Portland was also close to Pedal Bike Tours, the best place to rent a bike in Portland. All good things.
After many, many, many days searching other options on the internet, weighing all the pros and cons, I decided on the magnificently decorated Westin Portland, and was fortunate to book a "Pay Your Age" rate.
If you've never heard of this (and many of you have not), your first night is billed at the full rack rate, and the next two nights, are billed for the amount of the number in the year, in which you were born.
- If you were born in 1965, pay $65 dollars per night.
- Born in 1957? $57 dollars for the room.
Do the math, and see how it works for you! Let's just say, this is one time I was proud to show off my wrinkly face on my driver's license.
Westin Portland, Room With A Gorgeous View
The hotel was really exquisite, and the view from our lovely room on the 18th floor, was outstanding. Loud SHOUT OUTS to the staff, who provided super friendly, Oregon style hospitality. For reference sake, Oregonians are flat out nice people.
But I digress….In addition to all the free bottled water we could drink, as Silver Member of Starwood's Preferred Guest loyalty program, we were entitled to a bonus treat of either:
- Free wi-fi in hotel room
- 250 bonus SPG Points
- Drinks for 2, in Lobby Bar/Restaurant, The Daily Grill
Such A DEAL!
On so many levels, this place rocked. PLUS… we even collected some Starwood SPG points for the stay. WIN WIN WIN!
Don't forget to tell all of your ALTA COCKER friends about "Pay Your Age".
Thanks For Reading And Happy Traveling!

I have been dying to make a hula hoop rug out of old t-shirts. Ya know, I can't just hula hoop, I need something to lay on, I mean, Lola needs something to lay on.
Of course, I had to make a video. Cha Cha Check it out!
You are a silly goober. I must go borrow some rotten kid's hulahoop now! The underpinning reminds me of roads in a certain Queen City, si?
This would make a groovy trivet if you don't have patience or lots of t-shirts to spare. Lola looks adorable on it.
Have to try this!

for unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Isa 9:6
Musings of a Wanderer
Happy Anniversary to me and my PC (Prince Charming) and yes I'm a Princess! We have traveled the states together, built a family together, buried a daughter together (leukemia/heart transplant-perhaps I will tell about on her birthday this week), made it through high school together TWICE! Once for us and then for each of our children. We homeschooled together, cried together, made mistakes together, celebrated together, boy do we laugh a lot!!!! We love, we take turns making the plans for our anniversary celebrations and birthdays to which are both in June. It has been a wonderful life and extraordinary marriage with mountaintop highs and valley lows. The valley lows are ok because when you are in the valley, you can always look up and see the mountain and remember the good times and focus on the sustainer and creator of life and the present circumstances.
Here is a snippet of our marriage
It has been a long month! But as usual, we are survivors!! While recovering from the Virginia-ick (happens every Fall. Sinus' and allergies!), I still managed to get Christmas orders made and shipped or delivered and start a new job. Today, I am off work. Tried to sleep in but it did not work. Awoke at 5am 😳. Anyway, the house is still quiet. My daughter and pastry chef arrived home safe and sound. My son and hubby have to work today and I'm thankful they are gainfully employed. So much goodness to reflect on this season. It can be so easy to get distracted by current events and see all the bad stuff going on in and around the world. My heart breaks for all these calamities and all who are affected by them. And at the end of the day, I now my head and whisper to God, Lord I'm thankful.
Some things we created to help others celebrate in their own way..

Australia has some of the top universities in the world and many students choose to study here for a lot of different reasons such as the beaches, the laid back atmosphere, the beaches, the ability to work while studying, and did I mention the beach?
Before grabbing the next plane to Australia, there are several things you should consider.
Australia is a big country
Australia is a country and a continent. It may be a small continent, compared for example with Asia, but it is the sixth largest country. The Philippines would absolutely look like fragments of islands compared with the sheer size of Australia.
It has six states namely New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania, and two territories which are the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. These states and territories are miles apart and you usually have to grab a local flight to get to another state. Each state and territory are also very diverse in terms of topography, climate, flora and fauna that anyone touring will not run out of things to see and visit.
Each state and territory also have several educational institutions. Universities in Australia gained reputation as they sit on top of several worldwide university rankings, however, the country also offers courses from colleges and TAFE schools. The Technical and Further Education (TAFE) usually offer vocational courses for tertiary students. These courses are usually taken by students for qualification and ultimately to apply for certain jobs/roles.
So before buying a plane ticket, browse online and look for schools you might be interested in. Check if they have the course you need and if you qualify for course entry.
Australia is expensive
A report from the HSBC found that studying in Australia is more expensive than studying in any other country. According to the same report, the average fees cost around $24,081 plus average living cost of $18,012 that is already $42,093. DO NOT try to convert the amount just yet.
Tuition fees for international students vary, for a bachelor's degree it can be from $15,000 to $33,000 while a Master's degree will run from $20,000 to $37,000. PhD student's tuition fees range from $14,000 to $37,000.
This website might help you get an idea of how much tuition fees are in different universities. If you find one that you think might be reasonable, go to that university's website and find out the requirements.
TAFE schools usually have courses offered that are a bit more affordable than the university's. Also, when looking for a school, make sure you are researching as an international student (look for a tab somewhere on the school website). If you find tuition that is $5000 it is probably for locals, domestic students pay much less than international students.
Do not fret if your perfect school charges way too much for tuition. There is still hope. Australian universities tend to be generous in giving scholarships, check their scholarship tab on the webpage and see what may suit you.
You may also apply for scholarship from the Australian Endeavor Awards and Fellowship or maybe you can get other scholarships or support from Philippine government departments or private companies.
Health Cover is mandatory for all international students and their dependents. This is called the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). The most affordable is around $1,711 for a standard undergraduate student with no family included.
Of course, you need to find a place to stay. Accommodation is anywhere around $70 to $400 per week.
Living Allowance of $18,610 per student is required by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. If you have a partner you need to have an additional $6,515 and $3720 for first dependent child. Additional kids need an additional $2,160. If any of the children are ages 5-18 then your living allowance for them should be $8000 each.
The law allows students to work
Now that you have an idea about the cost of things down under, know that unlike most countries, Australia allows students to work up to 40 hours per fortnight during semesters and full time during school breaks.
Your earnings would not be able to pay your tuition in general but it may help get you by.
English Proficiency
Schools and universities in Australia require each student to take the International English Language Test (IELTS) to find out how proficient you are in the language. Each university and course requires a certain IELTS grade or point to be allowed entry. If you do not reach the point, you may be eligible to take an English course with them, for a price.
Student Visa
All individuals coming into Australia needs a valid passport and a visa.
As soon as you find a school, apply for a slot. Then, pay the tuition fee after receiving an invitation from the school. Once paid, wait for your certificate of enrollment (COE). This document is important when applying for a student visa. You cannot apply for a student visa without a COE.
Filipino Community
It is hard enough to live in another country when you feel homesick. It is harder to study again a long time after graduation for a Master's or PhD. Negative feelings like loneliness, is the last thing any student will need especially when exams are coming.
Thankfully, although you may have opted to fly on your own for now, the Filipino community in Australia is thriving. We are now the 5th fastest growing migrant group. Pinoys may be found in almost any state and territory. For anything you need, you know your kababayans will always be willing to help you out.
Check out some lists of Filipino expat groups here. Here are some telltale signs you are with a Filipino.
And of course, no Pinoy will not recognize this word. This is one of the reasons we push ourselves out of our beloved country, to earn dollars and remit the money back to our loved ones.
Here is where we come in, you can send money for as low as $7 to any bank in the Philippines. No bank account? No problem, send them to any cash pick up centers for $9 or send them directly to your loved one's doorsteps for the same amount. If you want to know more click here.
On the other hand, if you need additional financial help from your family, you can always have a reverse remittance. Contact us here and be confident that you will be treated like family as only Pinoys can.
Australia is one of the best places to be in. Do your research and look into the possibilities as well.
Studying abroad opens up a different world, a world that will teach you about different things that you will only learn uniquely from your international experience.
Good luck from your iremit.com.au family!

This post is linked to a project I worked on last year, together with director Saskia Jeulink. The result was a photoserie named ιδέα which was featured on the satelite program of the Noorderlicht International Photofestival.
The concept of the 'idea' photoseries is based on the 'allegory of the cave' from Plato. In this theory he describes that the world as we perceive it, is merely a reflection of the real world. We wanted to photograph people at the moment they get confronted with this reality.
While we were shooting the photo of the man working in a barn, we suddenly found a chainsaw lying around and decided to go for some additional fun: 'I know what you did last summer in Texas chainsaw massacre' photos!
I'd like to give you a little peek behind the scenes:
For the idea series Saskia came up with the concept, did the styling and gave directions to the models. I was in charge of photography (suprisingly..).

At the end of the Great Recession, one official "communicator" referred to the national economy as beginning to show "green shoots" that might indicate the start of a recovery. It now appears we have green shoots in Kansas that might be early signs of recovery in our civic society. Thanksgiving seems like a good time to point them out.
National political coverage highlights extreme partisanship. Contemporary partisans hold such allegiance to their political party that aversion among devoted Republicans and Democrats to any kind of social interaction — even to the point of opposing intermarriage between children reared in opposing political tribes — is becoming common. The past weeks have brought us party officials condemning the criminal, immoral or highly suspect behaviors of colleagues while at the same time declaring support for the accused because of shared party identity.
In exercising partisan legislative authority, Sen. Mitch McConnell has said the Republican agenda will pass with only Republican votes, if necessary. Now congressional Republicans plan to adopt a Brownbackian style tax-reduction bill relying on Republican votes alone. To add further inflammatory partisanship, the Senate appears ready to enfold repeal of key aspects of the Affordable Care Act in this tax measure.
What do green shoots of civic recovery in Kansas have to do with these concerns about the national political scene? Back in 1922, Emporia's own William Allen White wrote, "When anything is going to happen in this country, it happens first in Kansas." The contemporary fever of hyper-partisanship in Kansas has existed for decades. Hyper-partisanship in just the Republican Party has strengthened since the rise of pro-life activism in the 1970s.
Most recently, Gov. Sam Brownback instigated the conservative legislative purge that drove out senior Republican moderates like former Kansas Senate President Steve Morris. A more thoroughly right-wing and compliant Legislature passed steep income/profit tax reductions and severe consumption tax increases that all Kansans have experienced and most have come to dislike.
After the 2013 and 2014 legislative sessions and the 2014 re-election of Brownback, new voices and old began to coalesce around falling revenue and skimpier public services. In spite of decades of evidence to suggest partisans never waver, these critics began the process of exposing and criticizing hyper-partisanship — its policy prescriptions and programs. Groups, many aligned with purged Republican moderates, the small but not powerless Kansas Democratic Party, some non-partisan like the Mainstream Coalition, Women for Kansas, the Kansas League of Women Voters, the Kansas Health Institute, and four former Kansas governors — Carlin, Hayden, Graves and Sebelius — worked to inform Kansans about the harms that ideologically devout conservatives had committed.
The efforts to inform were carried out with seriousness, minimal drama and with the support of evidence debunking an impending economic boom. With resignations, primary defeats and ultimately the outcome of the 2016 general election, approximately 40 conservative legislators were replaced. In doing so, moderate Republicans and Democrats have for the moment at least upset the conservative legislative majorities. Voters learned, decided and then received increased civility and productivity in the 2017 legislative session.
Is it likely the nation can and will learn from the Kansas experience of this decade? Our congressional delegation's praise of the tax cut bills currently being debated might make a reader skeptical, but other public voices have called upon Kansans to recount their experience. Interests that normally would not be expected to "look a gift horse in the mouth" are in fact saying "thanks, but no thanks."
Perhaps the green shoots of rationality and compromise are working now to penetrate the public mind as they did in Kansas. That would be a moment of national joy at Thanksgiving time.

Most readers on the internet go only as far as the traffic they gleefully experience on their websites. For many of them, high volumes of traffic are equated to good business opportunities and more money in the bank. How quickly you forget that other bottleneck. The straightforward traffic jam. On the roads. And the highways and the byways. But even when traffic is light, you still need to be careful.
Accidents are always possible. Road traffic authorities cannot be expected to marshal every single mile of road at all times. In fact, you might be required to marshal your own traffic from time to time. This is not even a recommendation. It is probably a matter of law. Take the roadside construction site by way of example. That might just be your business, whether you are the construction contractor or the client.
And it will be your business to ensure that you have a good traffic products ontario source and supply network to fall back on. This project requirement could go in two directions. On the one hand, if construction work close to roads and sidewalks with heavy foot traffic is a regular but lucrative trade for you, then keeping a good inventory of traffic products is a good idea. You are good to go for your next project.
But if this is going to be a temporary exercise for you and the expense of the product construction is not feasible, you could always go the hiring route. And because traffic control is not familiar territory for you, it might also be a good idea to hire traffic marshals to monitor the traffic while you get on with your work. This may not be a suggestion. It could very well be a matter of law.

Gift Voucher with bag by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.
Our gift voucher is a year-round service to celebrate all occasions; birthdays, christenings, valentines, weddings, leaving presents, mothers/fathers day and christmas.
twentytwentyone gift vouchers are available singularly in denominations of £25, £50, £100, £150 and £200, or to any value upon request. The gift bag is accompanied by a gift tag to provide a personalised message.
The gift vouchers can be redeemed online through firstname.lastname@example.com or directly in our two central London outlets.
The twentytwentyone bag series was conceived following their Bags of Goodwill exhibition in 2007. The charitable event marked the company's shift from plastic bags to paper and cloth bags, and raised funds for the Fairtrade Foundation.
Previous bags have been designed by Lucienne Day, Industrial Facility and Barber Osgerby. The designs for twentytwentyone cloth bag are produced in a limited edition batch of 1500 in Fairtrade cotton. The use of a bag reflects the design-ethos shared with twentytwentyone products, one of lasting and reuseable qualities.
The current design is by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. The two designs were created specifically for twentytwentyone and are a response to the traditional screen printing technique employed in the making of the bags. Following tests on how the ink laid on the unbleached cotton, the designers achieved their desire for strong, graphic designs with a deep textural quality.

text: At a critical juncture during brain surgery, Alex Dixon, age 12, had a stroke . . . Alex was a normal, bright, and healthy little girl, when the sudden onset of a mysterious illness began to take over her life. Months of physical therapy and medication failed to provide relief from acute pain and muscle spasms. Doctors across the country were at a loss for answers. A last ditch attempt at treatment—brain surgery—ended up stopping the spasms but with unexpected consequences.

Hey my friends and virtual friends. Well as you know I'm in the U.S. and a new season is here. It is officially autumn. The seasons are changing and the end of the year is getting closer. We are approximately 100 days from the end of the year and it had me thinking about life changes I've made and also goals I still have yet to accomplish. Remember my blog post My Spring Reboot Goals to Conquer this Season? Well here is an update on those goals and a few confessions I have to get off my chest.
First, my goals then and my progress now
Back when I wrote my post in Spring about my goals, they entailed the following aspirations.
- Get Moving
- Increase my water intake
- Cut carbs/sugars'
- More leafy greens
- Prioritize and organize
- Have gratitude
- Remain focused on my dreams and art
Well I can tell you I was doing well in all these areas at first. I did get moving in the Spring/Summer when I joined the Healthy Dog Healthy You 30 Day Challenge . I was doing well. Not perfect but I could definitely see a difference in my energy level and sleeping patterns. And then I fell off the wagon. Yes, me! Fell right off after the challenge ended.
Why you ask? Well truth be told, this is my imperfect life. I'm flawed. I like sweets and carbs and get lazy from time to time. Moreover I have a bad habit of watching late night news, especially over the past year since that oh so memorable USA election night! I try to stay informed and late night news after 9pm seems to be when I can turn on the tube. As a result, I miss out on an extra hour or two of sleep each night during the week.
Anyway I digress, aside from falling off the wagon, I unexpectedly had to get some major dental work done at my dentist (which I love!) which requires a long healing period of a few months and eating a diet of softer foods. No crunchy or sticky foods. So that means re introducing carbs like pastas into my diet which I had avoided for a long time. I try to keep it healthy though and add veggies when I can. And well overtime , if you are like me, too many carbs equals poof and the pounds.
I also have been diligently working hard to provide you guys with entertaining, quality, meaningful and useful content. I'm a woman of my word and want to deliver as promised week after week. I haven't stopped and I don't plan on stopping now. Remember I just celebrated my blogaversary not too long ago and I love what I do.
So the items 1-4 not the best however items 5-7 have remained on course. And with that said here is the other half of my autumn confession!
My other confession is…
I have stayed true to my goals of keeping my priorities, having gratitude and holding onto my dreams and passions related to my writing and art. However, what that also means it that I recently quit my 9-5 job of 7 years to do it. Yes, I quit my corporate job to pursue my passions with art and blogging.
You did what?!
Now before you freak out or roll your eyes, let me break it down. Remember when I talked about knowing when to put yourself first in my prior blog post called Why I had to Quit…a Lesson in Putting myself first? Well over the past several months it became painstakingly clear that although I worked hard and was valued at my job, I was doing too much burning the candle at both ends. I would go to work and commute, work 9-5, commute again, cook for hubby and start working on my blog in the nighttime. Moreover than that crazy schedule, what I came to realize with time, I was feeling unfulfilled.
I started this blog out of pain of losing my sweet Dusty as you know, and what I never really foresaw was loving the process of blogging, building new relationships with the people I've met virtually online and the amount of support. Don't get me wrong building a blog is hard work and this takes a lot of dedication. However even being at the early stage of blogging I can tell my purpose was not meant to be in a cubicle at a stuffy desk 8 hours a day. It's so not me. I've definitely got the creativity gene.
I haven't got it all figured out, however I did have my intuition that let me know every morning when I work up "What the heck are you doing?!!!"After several months and a growing gnawing in the pit of my gut, I knew it was time to quit.
So what's the plan now?
I'm an Aquarius so I'm all for taking risks…practical risks. I'm not one of those stories you read about where ' Yeay, I quit my job to blog and everything is gravy!" Nope, I took time to save some money all along the way and be responsible. You know, save to cover your bills for a while. Have you heard of Dave Ramsey? If you don't know check him out on You Tube. You can thank me later.
So what now you ask? Well I write, I paint, I learn, I grow, and work hard and repeat. That's my plan. Well… that in addition to finding something new, different and flexible as my blog is still growing! Trust me when I tell you, as with anything, greatness takes time and patience. There are no overnight successes, just preparation, practice and patience.
All I do know is two things. First, life is too short to be somewhere you know in your gut, you are not meant to be. And second, imagine living a life doing everything you love or like to do for the rest of your days? Imagine liking what you do and being challenged at the same time? Imagine being in a position to learn, grow and constantly try new things? Doesn't that sound grand? That's the life I want to live. Sure you make some sacrifices or may need to work even harder, but moving in a direction that fulfills your soul daily and gives you purpose is priceless.
To Sum up what I've learned
So those are my two big confessions; I fell off the fitness wagon and quit my job. Ironically, I can honestly say that I'm finding my happiness again. Anyone who personally knows me knows I'm as sweet as a double chocolate lava cake. It's not in me to be cranky and mean or short-tempered, but I'll tell you what, staying somewhere toxic or where you are not meant to be weighs heavily on your soul. Over time it's downright draining, unproductive and depressing. Life is too short.
I've learned that going through that process, I had to make a decision to either let the experience continue to weigh on me and change who I was as a person, or refuse to give in to "do what everyone else is doing" and live my life the way I want. I chose the latter. I feel so much better for choosing me first. If you don't put yourself first, no one else is going to do it.
Two people that definitely helped inspire me in my personal growth are inspirational speakers Les Brown and Eric Thomas. Additionally, two books I read that I found very helpful and inspiring are Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud and Live Your Dreams by Les Brown. Those where pivotal turning points in changing my thought process. For that I'm very grateful. If you haven't read either book and like inspiration and positivity, I definitely recommend them. (Note: This is just my opinion of these books and not a sponsored review!)
Lastly, I cannot say enough how grateful I am to have such supportive friends, co-workers and family. It really means a lot to have support for your dreams and goals. Thank you!
Reboot & Moving On
Going forward now I am a little older and wiser. I'll take with me the professional experience from my corporate job, the confidence to stay true to myself and the tenacity to never give up and keep pursuing my aspirations to get fit and grow my blog. With that said I have a pair of dusty dumbbells that need some dusting off and time to respond to a few head hunter emails in my inbox. In many ways I'm back to square one, but you know what? I couldn't be happier about it!
Comment and share below. Can you relate to my secret confessions? Any helpful life tips, career tips, recipes or fitness tips for me? What has worked for you? Let me know your thoughts.

A still from In God's Land
e recognise now that in a bid to make India the next Shanghai, the way of life of millions of people is being altered, inconspicuously. What is curious is the fact that these transformations are hardly ever spoken about by the urban media which seems content to focus on the gloss and leave the details of corruption, land grab, harassment and exploitation out of their stories.
Documentary films have played a huge role in initiating a debate around development politics. Pankaj Rishi Kumar's new film titled In God's Land does just the same, presenting the viewer with arguments from all sides. The film documents the journey of a tiny village – Inam Alungalam in Tamil Nadu which is robbed off its land in order to construct a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Interestingly, the SEZ and the politics of such a concept of development are not directly spoken about in the film. "It was a conscious decision to not make it an all-out anti-SEZ film. Rather, I wanted to look at all aspects of life in that village without taking sides", said Pankaj Rishi Kumar, the director of the film. The film's stand is pretty clear though not thrust in your face, a directorial choice that works brilliantly for it allows the audience to engage with the issue on their own, making up their minds individually without being spoon-fed a 'point of view'.
In God's Land also raises some very interesting questions about the nexus between the state and temple authorities of the Vanamamalai Temple which owns and controls land worth millions in surrounding villages. "How does a temple come to own so much landed property in independent India?" the film asks. While continuing to pay rent to the temple, the villagers claim rights over the land through accounts of oral history tracing their lineage back to the original six clans who turned the barren land into a wet and fertile one. Here Kumar uses some wonderfully done animation to chart the mythical birth of their village. "Oral history accounts are difficult to relate on film. Animation allowed me to recreate in some way the emotion with which these stories were narrated to me" he added. It is in these animation sequences that Kumar's stand on the issue comes through most clearly, in the way he satirizes temple authorities or in his critique of exploitation sanctioned by religion.
Despite this deep and historical relationship with the land that they till, the villagers are unexpectedly left landless when the temple sells off their land in a hush-hush deal with the state some ten years ago. "Today, more than a decade later, the land remains as it is without any construction in all these years. Perfectly fertile land was first declared barren and now it is just laying waste", said Kumar.
Land penetrates every aspect of life for those who till it and this deep connect gets reflected in the film as well where Kumar litters the narrative with sights and sounds from the fields. By focussing on land and in effect provoking questions about larger theories of development, Kumar facilitates a reflection on the oppressive nature of development ideals that rarely benefit those who are asked to make life altering sacrifices. One is left wondering what fate other areas might be left to if this is how life for people living on this god's land ended up becoming.

Warning: this review contains spoilers. You can find all of my Legends of Tomorrow reviews here.
On paper, "Last Refuge" could have been one of the best episodes of Legends of Tomorrow, but it fell short. Though it was still an entertaining time travel episode, the weight of the incomprehensible and inconsistent time travel logic brought it down.
Every single rule of time travel that Legends and indeed other stories set to avoid paradoxes was thrown out the window. The Legends encountered their younger selves, their younger loved ones, and even abducted themselves as children, and hand-waved an explanation as to how they didn't simply vanish on the spot. Normally I'd sit back and enjoy the show despite the confusion, but that I was unable to do so during "Last Refuge" was a weakness on the episode's part.
There was still plenty to enjoy, though. Seeing young versions of Mick Rory and especially Sara Lance was great, and their interactions with their adult counterparts was even better. Rory even had a pointed talk with his younger self about his self-destructive choices that was pretty poignant. And Jax meeting his then-alive father and struggling with the decision to save him from a certain death was a compelling subplot.
The Pilgrim was an okay villain, better than the bounty hunters, but still a bit too undefined to be truly compelling. The silent but deadly trope worked well in her favour, but there needed to be more to her. Maybe "Last Refuge" was trying to evoke the Terminator in that sense, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's presence was a major factor in that film's success, and not something that can be easily replicated.
We also learned more of Rip's backstory, specifically him as a child. Again, the Refuge's placement in time was undefined and the time paradox involved in interfering so often in young Rip's life makes my head ache, but it was still welcome to see. Especially when little child Rip stabbed the Pilgrim to death. Now that was an unforeseen development for sure!
The action was strong this week as well, mostly thanks to the Pilgrim's time-slowing powers. The scene in which she froze all of the Legends in mid-action pose and the camera went around, showing off every single one of them, was pretty spectacular, the closest this show has gotten to a comic book splash page.
And, once again, a major weak point of the episode was Kendra and Ray's subplot. But does that warrant repeating?
Rating: 3/5 (Passable)

Nothing Is What It Seems: Dutch Art of the Golden Age
In this course you will embark on a fascinating journey where nothing is what it seems: an innocent bouquet of flowers hides a forbidden religious message, a happy family, where everyone is singing and laughing, turns out to be a warning against an undisciplined lifestyle, and a gorgeously dressed couple locked in a calm embrace are actually rigid with heart-breaking melancholy. Upon completion of this highly interactive course you will have gained a profound insight into the many layers of these seemingly realistic artworks, the true meaning of which critics do not agree about to this very day.
"Nice clouds," critics would say, "But really, it isn't quite art with a capital A, is it?" Until recently, Dutch Art of the Golden Age was seen as technically good, but not very interesting. It was just too realistic, where was the artistic imagination?
Today, this opinion on Dutch art has changed and the value of Golden Age artworks has soared. So what is the true meaning behind all these landscapes, seascapes, portraits and still lifes that look so real that you can feel the sea-breeze and smell the grapes?
Upon completion of this highly interactive course, you will have seen many highlights from the 16th and 17th century, you will be able to recognise the main painters, you have become confident in recognising, discussing and analysing a modern Dutch artwork and sharing your ideas with your peers.
Join us on this interactive journey, with daily excursions. Travel and entrance to museums are included in the course fee.
Course leader
Marrigje Paijmans, PhD

Mashed Potato Doughnuts
1 1/2 cups of honey
3 cups of mashed potatoes
4 cups of white flour
4 cups of white wheat flour
1 tablespoon sourdough
5 tsp baking powder
6 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
1 and 1/2 cups water
Stir together potatoes and honey into a paste add eggs and beat then stir. Add oil and water stir. Then add all of the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon. Press out to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a doughnut cutter or two different round cutters that will make a doughnut shape. I used a tin can with a whole in the top and the lid off of my pepper shaker for the hole. Deep fry on each side until golden brown. Serve!

This, as reported by Interfax, said the head of department of quality CDB Evgeny Alekseev Meleshko. According to him, CCB received a request the government to resume work. During 2010-2011, will be carried out design work. From 2012 to start the second, more prolonged, phase, during which will be conducted development work, and will create a "sufficiently large winged. "For our company it is quite a large amount of work, most professional companies will work on this topic," - said Meleshko. In the USSR the production of WIG started in 1957 and ended in the early 1990's. During this time it was built about 30 such devices, which in the international classification defined as naval vessels. " Uses a winged effect of aerodynamic screen when moving over water or land surfaces. On other ships, such as boats hovercraft or hydrofoils, hovercraft have a higher speed - up to 250 knots. In 1960 CDB Alekseev created and tested on the Caspian Sea pilot winged, christened by western intelligence agencies "Caspian Monster" - that intelligence deciphered the abbreviation "CM" (ship-model) on board the vessel. Ekranoplan had a wing span of 37.6 meters and a length of about one hundred meters, and maximum takeoff weight of 544 tons. In 1980, a prototype of the ship crashed and sank after which it was decided to discontinue the project. The most famous Soviet ekranoplan were troop-"Eaglet" (built five units) and stroke-winged rocket "Lun" (built by one unit, separated from the Black Sea Fleet in 1990). The armed forces of the USSR WIG planned to use in landing operations for the delivery of goods, as well as anti-and anti-order. There is also the project of Robert Bartini to create a strategic winged bomber A-57. http://lenta.ru/news/2010/07/15/ekran/ Wow Capsian Sea monster again!!!

Furniture Cat Liter Boxes

Cat Litter Box Furniture Even though cat litter trays and litter boxes are fairly ugly and untidy, they are essential in a household that has the domesticated feline as a pet, and prefers to have it as an indoors pet only. There are a lot more motives why cats might refuse to use a litter box than the one particular described above. Place some vinegar in a spray bottle for your everyday cleaning of litter pans and to also spray down soiled components of the rabbit cage. 1 can even place a nice vase of flowers or a sculpture on leading of the pine or oak box.

The On-line Super Shop for Quality Cat Furniture, Cat Trees, Cat Scratching Posts, Armarkat Cat Furnishings.

Dust can make your kitty buddy sneeze repeatedly, and sneezing is not one thing that cats take pleasure in! The only issue I'd modify is needing to lift the whole crate to scoop the litter. While looking at litter boxes, the fundamental flat box (alternative with rim) is the very best, if they are to be kept in less human frequented regions. By figuring out why your cat stopped making use of its box in the 1st location you can then go about solving the difficulty faster. An additional thought would be to just spot the cabinet in the preferred location although you gradually move the litter box closer and closer till it is ultimately placed inside the cabinet. Pets have the unfortunate dilemma of urination on furniture such as sofas, recliners, and chairs when they have not been educated to go outside or use the litter box. Judging from various articles scattered about the net, cat owners can get really inventive when it comes to hiding that cat litter box. The bench is finished in white, and created in conjunction with Sauder, a well recognized furniture manufacturer.

The business, Chimere, even delivers a lacquered litter box for cats and a minimalist, bell-shaped fish bowl. Pour a straight answer of white vinegar onto the soiled places, saturating the carpet adequate to go by means of to the padding. Over a period of time this becomes a self-reinforcing habit and later on cats meow just for the exciting of it. The circumstance gets worsened when the cat is lonely or bored. Our Litter Box Hiders offer an appealing spot for cats to take care of organization privately.

The words of my loved ones echoed down to my wobbly knees as I followed the gravel pathway to Rooster Marketing's new HQ – The Mill in Shawford, Winchester. But, I was soon to find out these thoughts of nervous anticipation would soon fly away, just as my first week working here has.
My first day marked a special occasion for not only me but the whole team – as they had just successfully completed moving offices into a beautiful Grade II listed building just 4 minutes outside the centre of Winchester. It definitely felt like the beginning of something fantastic, the light, open spaces framed with rustic wood furnishings and bespoke antiques are filled with modern high-tech information systems and state of the art connectivity. I immediately felt at home and couldn't wait to learn the ropes of my role, Content Marketing Executive.
Having always had a passion for writing, I had been lucky enough to translate this into my work recently. Together with working for easily one of the best marketing agencies in the South, I had been counting down the days until now.
The team at Rooster welcomed me and made me feel right at home in an instant. Before I knew it, I was typing away – engrossed in my work whilst enjoying the sound of the trickling fishing stream below. What became apparent was the passion and care every member of the team possessed, suddenly The Mill was alive with creativity; video was being filmed, photos snapped and splashes heard as our Director Chris caught a trout – just outside our front door! The first week for Rooster at The Mill had inspired the team to curate and experiment with our new surroundings, rest assured, I enjoyed this whilst it lasted as the team are always super busy.
Before I knew it, the day has ended and I was on my way back home. To my surprise, I was looking forward to the next day at work already – unheard of if you know me!
Over the next few days, I enjoyed brainstorms with the creative team – talking social media, video content and much more, and explored my new surroundings nestled in beautiful Shawford, a little bit of heaven with its green surrounds, yet so perfectly situated for travel in any direction. I was amazed I could travel here from my home in central Southampton in just 12 minutes!
As I sit here and write this, the hum of a drone has just flown past my window as our moving in video is completed with some awesome aerial footage. If you'd like to see it, click here.
