So what do you think it would be like to live in a shed? Would you do it? How would you convert a shed into a tiny home? What do you think it would need?
I've always wondered this… Especially whenever I pass by one of those places where they sell sheds. Some of them look like they could be a comfortable home for me. Really.
The one pictured below looks VERY SMALL. Enough room for a couch that turns into a bed, a tiny kitchen and a desk. Oh and a place to put a composting toilet bucket I guess?!
Could YOU live in a shed?? Are you already doing it? Please, tell us about it in the comments!

Some AC History
The presence of two vintage racing ACs at the August VSCC Prescott hill-climb, as reported last month, prompts a few words on the subject. Willoughby's two-seater has the Anzani-pattern side-valve engine and a replica long-tailed body of the kind used on several ACs at Brooklands and elsewhere. Incidentally, it is so well done that it proves a good replica to be more acceptable than a chopped-about original, whatever the purists may say.
The other AC, which was confined to the Paddock with "traditional troubles", is Mrs. Hewitt's ex-Joyce sprint car, making a welcome re-appearance after having gone to ground for many years, our man DSJ being nominated to drive it. This car is a special racing model, composed of extremely interesting mechanical items at both ends, with nothing very much in between. By this I mean that the engine is a true tool-room job, of advanced but odd design, and that the back axle is equally unusual.
Indeed, with its 16-valve bronze head, chain-driven single-overhead-camshaft, external oil and water pumps driven by exposed chains, and twin distributors for the dual coil ignition system, twin carburetters, this is a decidedly fascinating piece of machinery. The back axle, consisting of a single tubular shaft, both ends exposed, with inboard brakes and the ¼ -elliptic springs mounted close together on the front of the bevel-drive casing, is likewise unique. The front axle is wider and also sprung on ¼ -elliptic springs. The track-rod is ahead of the axle; there may be no connection but it is interesting that S. F. Edge was responsible for both Napier and AC cars and that Napiers had the steering track-rod in front of the axle. So did most London taxis, but the reason here was no doubt the small turning-circle demanded by Scotland Yard regulations . . . .
To revert to racing ACs, the car Robbie Hewitt has unearthed was built during 1924, at a time when the make held all the records in its Class. The AC was, in fact, the first 1½-litre car to exceed 100 m.p.h over the half-mile, then for a mile, then for a full Brooklands lap, and in 1922 it had accomplished this for the hour run, with J. A. Joyce in the cockpit. So many different engines and chassis were used for racing and record-breaking by AC that it will be a courageous man who attempts to sort them out. However, the special racing models, like the Hewitt car, stemmed from the drawing board of John Weller, in preparation for the 1914 RAC Light Car Race, which was never held, due to the war. The design, with an 8-valve head, was revived for the first JCC 200 Mile Race at Brooklands, three ACs of this advanced conception, with streamlined track bodies, starting. All of them retired. In the 1922 "200" two 16-valve cars started but retired, but at the end of that year Joyce used one of the 200 Mile Race 16-valve engines in the old Harry Hawker long-wheelbase AC to put the coveted light car hour record at over 100 miles – actually 100.39 m.p.h. In 1924 his record was broken by a supercharged Darracq, so Joyce took the AC, which was not blown, out again and set a new hour record, of 104.19 m.p.h This was an outstanding achievement, even if the Darracq had taken its record during the "200" with other cars on the Track and held to a set speed, whereas Joyce had Brooklands to himself. This AC was then giving about 55 b.h.p. on a mild petrol/benzole mixture.
By this time the short-wheelbase sprint car which Jenkinson should have driven up Prescott this year had been built, single and two-seater bodies being made for it. It was modified extensively in 1925. Joyce made FTD at Porthcawl, Brighton, Brentnor, Colwyn Bay, Bexhill and Kop and in 1925 twice broke the Brooklands Test Hill record. These were good performances but the 16-valve racing AC engine could hardly be called reliable. When I said that DSJ was experiencing "traditional troubles" at Prescott I was thinking of the many retirements from races suffered by this type of AC. Joyce had seven unsuccessful attempts at getting the hour record in 1922 (although tyres were partly to blame) and his first bid in 1924 failed, nor did the car manage a second run. The engines, which originally had cast-iron heads (with a steel head tried. I believe, in 1923) were prone to overheating and porosity. Raymond Mays raced a special version in 1925, modified by Amherst Villiers and supercharged with a Villiers blower, the engine being converted to dry-sump lubrication, using a scavenge oil-pump driven from the nose of the supercharger, as Villiers was to do seven years later on the Birkin blower 4½ single-seater Bentley – see page ???. This AC was a complete fiasco. However, Joyce did finish 3rd. in the 1923 200 Mile Race in spite of much tyre trouble, and 4th in the 1924 "200" beaten only by the "Invincible" Darracqs, using the 16-valve engine.
The Joyce sprint AC seems to have been retired after 1925 but in October 1930 it turned up at Southport, which, like Brooklands, was a haven for old racing cars. The entrant was A. J. Aked, who had a garage nearby. The body was again a sketchy single-seater and knobbly tyres were used on the back wheels to aid grip on the sand. Before the war Aked again retired the car and it wasn't seen again until it was brought out at Prescott this year. It was involved in an accident at Southport, because the "water tower" radiator filler, another feature AC shared with Napier, has been wiped off'. It is good to know that this interesting AC has escaped being incarcerated in the Aked Motor Museum and that its engine, of which the Sydney Smith rocking valve guides and Weller timing-chain tension are other unusual features, is very much as Joyce knew it.
Incidentally, exactly how many of these 16 valve engines were made it is impossible to say, for by 1924 this type of AC single-seater was offered for sale new, priced at £1000 but I would think that there must have been about half-a dozen of them, of which that in the Hewitt car seems to be the only survivor. – W.B.

In Part 1 of our pregnancy mini-series—Pregnancy (Part 1): Everything You Need To Know About Exercising While Pregnant—we explored the issue of working out during pregnancy. In this article, we're going to dig into what you should know about postpartum exercise.
First of all, returning to exercise after giving birth is no easy feat, so be patient (and gentle) with yourself. Many people compare it to recovery from a sports injury due to the changes that occur, both physically and mentally. And, like a sports injury, returning to exercise after birth should occur in a gradual and progressive manner.
Women who are recovering from childbirth usually experience the following changes to their bodies, all of which need to be taken into consideration when returning to exercise postpartum:
- Stretched abdominal muscles
- Changes to the pelvic floor muscles, nerves, and connective tissues
- Scar tissue formation
- Hip and low back tightness
- Joint pain
- Low endurance and fatigue
These changes can pose major obstacles to working out after giving birth, especially if you are unsure how to restart the fitness journey. The first step is always talk to your doctor, but once your obstetrician gives you the go-ahead to start exercising again, here are 5 things that you should (and shouldn't) do to get back in shape safely.
1. You SHOULD aim for 20–30 minutes of activity each day.
Depending on the stage of your postpartum recovery, the intensity level of activity that you should do will vary. However, keep in mind that even 10 minutes of exercise can boost your mental and physical state.
Walking is an excellent, low intensity, low impact exercise that should be included in every woman's workout program after giving birth. Begin with 10-15 minutes, at least once per day, and gradually increase your time by 5 minute intervals. Monitor for pain, spotting, lightheadedness, back pain, and fatigue. Be sure to stay hydrated and consume the appropriate amount of calories, especially if you are breastfeeding.
Ultimately, you should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every week. You can divide the 150 minutes into 30-minute workouts or 10-minute sessions throughout the day.
2. You SHOULDN'T push through the pain for the sake of gains.
It's common to feel more tired in the first few months after giving birth due to interrupted sleep patterns and the added demands of motherhood and breastfeeding. Being fatigued and overexertion can increase your risk of injury, so it's important to listen to your body. Know the warning signs of overexertion and slow down, if necessary.
Regardless of whether or not you are breastfeeding, your desire to exercise may be slow to return. Or, you may struggle to find the time or energy to workout. During this time, you can still work towards strengthening your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles in preparation for when you are ready to exercise after birth.
1 in 3 women experience urinary leakage after having a baby, and retraining of the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises can reduce this issue. Remember to gently initiate each contraction and build your endurance gradually. Be sure to relax the muscles fully between each voluntary contraction. If you experience moderate to severe urinary leakage, then give your pelvic floor muscles a break throughout the day by laying on your stomach or side as you play and interact with the baby.
Pelvic tilts, pelvic floor strengthening exercises, neck and shoulder stretches, and a low intensity walking program are great options for those "I don't feel like doing anything" days during postpartum recovery. Related: Postnatal Workout or Post Abdominal Surgery Workout
3. You SHOULD engage in strength training after your doctor gives you the "OK," usually around your six-week postnatal check up.
Strength training includes any exercise that works the body's major muscle groups and should be performed at least 2 days per week (in addition to aerobic activity). We love these workouts and programs that may be just what you need to get back into exercise:
Glute Activation and Lower Body Workout
Once you've begun to regain some strength, endurance, and momentum with your workouts, progress your weights appropriately, but still limit any plyometric (high impact or jumping) activities. Also, continue to focus on pelvic floor and core strengthening.
4. You SHOULDN'T do traditional core exercises like sit ups, crunches, V-ups, and mountain climbers during the first few months of recovery.
These core-strengthening exercises are not recommended for women after childbirth because they can place unwanted pressure on the lower abs and recovering pelvic floor muscles. Related: What is Diastasis Recti? Diastasis Recti Test and Exercises to Avoid
5. You SHOULD trust the process.
It may take up to six months, or longer, before you begin to feel "back to normal" and exercise like you did before pregnancy. Typically, your pelvic floor muscles will have recovered by 4 months postpartum. At this time, you should be able to resume most activities unless you are experiencing back pain, pelvic floor heaviness, or continued urinary leakage. If this is the case, then please seek a professional evaluation by your obstetrician, a women's health specialist and/or physical therapist that specializes in the pelvic floor.
The postpartum journey is an incredibly vulnerable, emotional, and, at times, painful process. Throughout these months of healing, it is important to check in with yourself, both mentally and physically, to make sure that your needs are being met. If you find yourself facing a severe lack of motivation to exercise, enjoy outside walks with your newborn, or engage with others, then you may be experiencing signs of postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. We encourage you to talk to your physician to find the expert and compassionate care that you deserve.

Coyotes add Taylor Hall for the present… but what about the future?
Dec 16, 2019, 9:17 PM | Updated: 11:16 pm
(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
PHOENIX — There's a commonly-used phrase in the hockey world when it comes to trades: "You've got to give to get."
The Arizona Coyotes gave prospect defenseman Kevin Bahl, prospect forwards Nick Merkley and Nate Schnarr, a conditional first-round pick in 2020 and a conditional third-round pick in 2021 to the New Jersey Devils.
But what they did they get?
At the very least, Arizona is getting former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall for the rest of this season. He is, however, on an expiring deal, and the announcement of the trade was not followed up with the announcement of a contract extension. There's a chance he could go test the market when he becomes a free agent on July 1 next year, but re-signing also isn't out of the picture.
"I've been open-minded with everything this year," Hall said. "I feel like some of the reporting regarding my contract situation has been a little bit off. I've been open to anything and I haven't closed the book on signing with any team prior to July 1. Talking to [general manager] John Chayka, that's something that we can discuss as time goes on. But I think both sides are really comfortable with just playing and letting the contract stuff sort itself out."
Whether Hall would've been willing or not, Chayka felt that trying to get an extension done in concert with a trade wouldn't have made a lot of sense.
"The goal of this deal was certainly to get a player here for the long term that's an elite player," Chayka said. "Having said that, I think we had a bit of a different view on trying to extend the player throughout this process. Our view is we want Taylor to want to be here if he is extending. The only way for him to really understand that is to actually be here.
"So it's a good opportunity for us to bring him in. He wants to win, we want to win. We want to showcase what we're about and what we have. And like I said, if I just called him up and asked him to extend, I don't think that would've been the right process. So now we get a chance to show him and get that experience of what we're doing here. It's a bet on ourselves, but again, it's a calculated gamble."
Indeed, the Coyotes are betting on themselves. They're betting that they'll continue their trend in a positive direction, remain in a playoff spot (they were in first place when the trade was announced) and that Hall will see Arizona as a sustainable contender. He's spent enough time missing the playoffs with Edmonton and New Jersey, and likely has little patience for more of the same.
"We know Taylor wants to win, and that's kind of the main criteria for him to re-sign, and we feel like we've got a chance to win for a long time here," Chayka said. "So again, we feel like our opportunity is as good as anybody's."
Hall's cap hit is currently $6 million, but that surely will go up. Clayton Keller's cap hit will be $7.15 million next year, Oliver Ekman-Larsson is at $8.25 million, Phil Kessel at $6.8 million and Nick Schmaltz at $5.85 million. Even so, Hall would probably be the Coyotes' highest-paid player if he re-signs.
It will take, among other things, more support from new owner Alex Meruelo to get a long-term contract locked in for Hall.
"I don't think the deal happens without his support and his involvement," Chayka said of Meruelo. "The key with him is he's got a huge desire and will and drive to win. But he's also a great strategic mind, so he understands the value of players and the value of building a team. When we went through the scenarios where, again, we're taking on some risk — buying the team was a risk.
"He's a guy that understands when there's asymmetric risk and opportunity to create value, you've got to pursue those opportunities."
A report from The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun said the Coyotes would have to give up another first-round pick if they re-sign Hall. That alone is costly, but consider also the cost of the contract itself.
But as of Monday, many hockey games sit between the trade and Hall's pending free agency. Arizona is hoping to win quite a few of those.
"Really, [the contract is] not what I'm focused on," Hall said. "I just want to come and help win games and get to the playoffs and do some damage there. Regarding my contract, I don't think it's healthy for anyone for that to be the focus right now, and I'm glad that I can go to a situation and not have to think about that for a while and just play."

Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth, lemon flavored shortbread cookies. These cookies are just 4 ingredients and are also low carb and keto-friendly. They are an easy dessert for any occasion.
Shortbread cookies are one of my favorite types of cookies and I love that it is possible to make a low carb version that tastes just as buttery and melty.
- Butter
- Erythritol
- Superfine Almond Flour
- Lemon
All you need are four ingredients to make this buttery shortbread.
Erythritol is used to sweeten the cookies. Other similar granular sugar substitutes should also work.
Superfine Blanched Almond Flour
Make sure you use superfine almond flour. You want the fine texture so that your shortbread melts and doesn't have any grittiness.
Refrigerating the Dough
You do need to refrigerate the cookie dough before baking, so plan ahead. The dough needs to chill for at least 30 minutes. If you do not refrigerate the dough, the cookie dough will be hard to handle and the cookies will spread too much during baking.
More Easy Low Carb Cookie Recipes
- 2 Ingredient Almond Cookies
- 4 Ingredient Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 3 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
- 2 Ingredient Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies
Keto Lemon Shortbread Cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp erythritol granular
- 1/2 (packed) tbsp lemon zest + 1 tsp lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and erythritol. Cream together until light and fluffy. Add in lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until incorporated. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Add in almond flour and mix in slowly until completely incorporated and a dough forms.
- Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough until it is 3/8 inch thick. Place dough into the fridge and let it firm up for at least 30 minutes. The dough does not need to be completely chilled, just firm enough that you will be able to cut and move the cookies.
- While waiting for the dough to chill, preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- After 30 minutes, remove dough from fridge. Slice into rectangles approximately 2 inches by 1.5 inches. Carefully peel cookies from parchment paper and place onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart. Reroll dough scraps and repeat.
- Bake cookies about 15 minutes or until edges turn light brown.
- Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet to let them set. Cookies will firm up as they cool. Do not remove cookies until they are set.
- You will not use the entire lemon but one lemon should be enough to produce 1/2 tbsp lemon zest and 1 tsp lemon juice.
- Make sure to use superfine almond flour. I used Kirkland Signature superfine almond flour.*
- I used So Nourished Erythritol Sweetener Granular.*

text: I was having coffee with a friend and colleague who works at one of the largest data centers in the country. Our conversation turned to cloud computing adoption patterns, and he looked at me intently and said, "Your company should offer a 'cut through the cloud fog' service." He elaborated that many of the prospects his company speaks with display a curious diffidence: They approach the initial conversation with great motivation, but when it comes time to develop an action plan, they begin hemming and hawing, noting "complications" in moving forward. They push out start dates and eventually the discussion dissipates, like water running into sand.\nAfter seeing a number of these promising beginnings turn into stalled launches, my friend concluded that some kind of organizational anxiety was preventing them from taking concrete steps. He believes a "defogging" service designed to help IT organizations clearly understand their options would help them move forward with confidence. \nHis experience mirrors my firm's. At speaking engagements, I interact with people who are intellectually convinced that aggressively moving toward cloud computing is necessary, but seem hesitant and even confused about what to do. In fact, you can see me discuss this in a video interview conducted at a recent conference. \n\nUpon reflection, the reasons for their confusion are obvious: \n\nDeluge of solutions. Everywhere one turns, up pops another "cloud computing" solution. Each day brings new solutions along with old solutions disguised in new cloud computing raiments. The plethora of choices does not ease decision making. In fact, too many choices, as I wrote about a while back, actually makes people more likely to make no decision. Not understanding what is the right choice in an environment of many choices breeds disquietude. \nVendor overload. It's obvious that the landscape of IT is changing, and if you're an established vendor, your revenue stream is at risk. So you develop a cloud product and then turn every sales rep in the company loose with it. The relentless stream of vendors insisting that you need to listen to their cloud vision results in apathy and lassitude\u2014and an intense wish the clamor would stop.\nFear of being wrong. If you're a senior IT executive feeling overwhelmed by the number of cloud computing options, not knowing which is the right one, and fearing that if you make a poor choice it could all go terribly wrong, with associated career damage\u2014well, or course you plumb for more research, additional evaluation, more consultation with technology analysts. Anything to avoid making the wrong choice. \nThe result? An approach-avoidance conflict that creates stress, confusion and a refusal to make any decision. Nevertheless, the need to move forward is manifest. The tired legacy approaches aren't getting any more satisfactory, and the pressure from executive management isn't going to abate. \nLet me share with you the recommendations we make to companies enduring this distasteful circumstance. We don't feel the uncertainty associated with this information- and vendor-overload can be avoided, but we do feel that steps can be taken to facilitate forward movement while protecting oneself against irredeemable missteps. \n1. Start with a proof of concept. A low-risk, limited commitment experiment can validate the benefits of cloud computing and generate organizational learning without much downside. Knowing that the choice of technologies has a limited scope is very freeing, as it prevents the anxiety of "having to make the right decision." \n\nAfter an acceptable deployment option is identified, whether internal or public, choose two applications as prototypes. One application should be legacy architecture, so you can determine the viability of transforming the installed infrastructure into a cloud environment. The second should be a web-based application, chosen to exercise scalability and elasticity, so the organization can learn about the long-term implications of cloud application architectures. \n2. Implement limited, non-critical functionality. There's a reason new skiers start on bunny slopes, and it's an appropriate approach for cloud computing as well. An application that the business does not depend on allows a more measured perspective and evaluation. Conversely, if the first application "has" to run, one can be sure that problems will not be seen as educational opportunities, but rather as full-on emergencies, which is not conducive to organizational learning. \n3. Circumvent cloud infrastructure dependence. Perhaps the best way to protect oneself from a poor choice is to implement in a fashion that insulates one's applications from direct dependence upon a particular cloud implementation. There are several techniques to accomplish this. \nFirst, manage your application code for deployment flexibility. Design the application so that it encapsulates code and software component installation, thereby allowing substitution of specific cloud infrastructures. \nSecond, use vanilla code components and eschew the use of cloud-specific services. Read my previous posting about PaaS for insights about the potential downside of leveraging a particular vendor's application framework. Instead, use components and services that are widely deployed, enabling you to migrate an application among several cloud providers. \nFinally, don't grow too dependent upon your initial cloud provider's management console. There are a number of cross-cloud management tools and frameworks, and you should evaluate them to determine if one of them can avoid dependency and lock-in. \nI'm not sure it's possible to completely clear the fog surrounding cloud computing today. Nor am I sure that it's wise to wait for it to dissipate. Usually, by the time the light becomes perfectly clear, much of the day has sped away, leaving you to regret being so slow to get going.

Insomniac Events, a global leader in live electronic music events, is pushing further into the metaverse via a new partnership with 3-D content studio Unity, it was announced on Friday (March 11).
The partnership's marquee initiative will be a new, persistent metaverse world that will host a rotation of music events. In a press release, Insomniac says visitors to this space will be "immersed in non-stop music and play, and empowered to connect through self-expression, as dance culture expands from the physical world into the virtual world."
Programming for this metaverse realm of non-stop partying has not yet been announced.
"Our vision is to create a social experience in which everyone is a Headliner," said Insomniac founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella, referring to the "headliner" title the company gives event attendees, "where stories and music unite us in discovery, love and a true sense of belonging. Unity is helping us create a world's first experience for our community as we work together to deliver the next level of what the metaverse can be for entertainment and music."
"This partnership is the beginning of a long relationship that we believe will usher in a new level of interactive and immersive experiences within the world of live entertainment," says Peter Moore, senior vp and general manager, sports & live entertainment at Unity.
Rotella and Moore will appear in conversation at SXSW this Sunday (March 13) to discuss the partnership.
The project announced Friday marks Insomniac's second foray into the metaverse. The company previously hosted a digital version of its flagship festival, EDC Las Vegas, inside the streaming platform Roblox this past October.
With live event promoters around the world rushing into the web3 space, Belgium's Tomorrowland also recently announced a partnership with global cryptocurrency exchange FTX to bring web3 benchmarks like NFTs and cryptocurrency initiatives to its myriad events, including its flagship festival being held in Boom, Belgium this July.

PAP candidate Lui Tuck Yew lodged police report against resident
May 4th, 2011 | Author: Online Press
PAP candidate for Moulmein-Kallang GRC Lui Tuck Yew has lodged a police report against a resident for 'confronting' him during a walkabout.
In a wall post on his Facebook page yesterday, Mr Lui described the incident as the "most nasty moment of our campaign so far." The news was first reported by TODAY.
Mr Lui wrote that a resident who had claimed to be an ardent opposition supporter was threatening him and his team and "calling the PAP government the worst (more vulgarities) government in the world."
"He just wasn't interested in any explanation. I certainly hope that even our most ardent PAP supporter would not resort to such behaviour when he encounters the opposition. Just so that this episode would be placed on record, we alerted the Police. Hopefully, this will be the first and last of such encounters," he added.
It is not known if the poor resident has been arrested by the police who are super-efficient when dealing with police reports made by the PAP.
PAP leaders are infamous for making police reports over seemingly trivial matters which can be resolved amicably without alerting the police and wasting precious public resources.
In January 2009, PAP MP for Aljunied GRC Cynthia Phua lodged a police report against a mentally challenged teenager who slammed a chair against a glass door during a Meet-the-People session who was arrested by the police the next day.
Though the teenager and her mother apologized for the outburst later and beg the PAP MPs to let them off, they refuse to do so.
'I made it very clear to (the mother) that this is unacceptable behaviour. It is not justifiable in any circumstance. There's no excuse to be violent,' said another Aljunied PAP MP Lim Hwee Hua. (read more here)
In March 2010, PAP MP for East Coast GRC Lee Yi-Shyan lodged a police report against an unhappy resident who reminded him of the Seng Han Thong torching incident during a Meet-the-People session. He was arrested by the police the next day and fined $2,000 for criminal intimidation.
Singaporeans who see PAP candidates on their walkabouts must treat them with extra 'care' lest they offend them and get hauled up by the police for questioning for no good reason.
he lau kwee buey???
knn, one military man, flanked by about 15 of his lackeys, scared of one opposition heckler???
is this why our NSFs are all kuniangs now who require their maids to carry their fullpacks for them?
are the REMFs in our military so goddamned useless?
Years ago a hawker threatened my son with a knife but when i made a police report the police told me it was probably a misunderstanding and was petty.I demanded that they at least go talk to the hawker and they finally did.The hawker apologised and I didnt pursue the matter the two policemen however told me i wasted their time.The reason why i didnt pursue was because the hwker just got our of prison and trying to adjust his life.If I were a PAP MP I dont fuck care if he just got out of prison this morning
tomorrow will be the time where opposition stand up.
For the last 5 years we had suffer so long. LET VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION. My whole family is willing to give 5 years chance to opposition.
Brother, Our life will be more secure and more insure if there is 1/3 of opposition in the Parliament.
DO You want LKY to act like leech to suck our blood till 92? Think carefully. You guys are well-educated, knowing what is call the True Democracy.
actually, he should be glad that the resident didn't lodge a report first on charges of trespassing on private property.
Even the police need a warrant card in order to enter private property.
Guys, can we post since it is a cooling day?

as aforementioned, the politicians contesting the elections and the political parties can't...
the normal people can still discuss about things...
that is the way "democracy" works.. if they want to shut this down, they've admitted that Singapore isn't a democracy and they'll be discredited
I heard a recent case here he and his grassroots walk around the hawker center...and one man asked him something that make him not happy especially the booklets (where it shows all the things that going to do for the residents)...something like that...and I am not sure what happen that he and his grassroots ignore him and walk off....leaving him angry as why no one greet goodbye to him...and he begins to post a mail to him.....
from the SAF
we listen to orders
He is a typical military man thinks that he is the master, we all are salves.

They want to hear you say YES SIR. They dont want you to argue.
Whatever they say is correct, whatever they want to do is correct.
You just follow and obey orders.
That is why I dont really like military man to become a mp.

Military style....everything I do, is correct.
Everything I want will materialised.
Seriously speaking,
Why must lodge a police report!?
U lose a opposition voter which you can convert to your side and get more votes if you are able to handle the situation properly... use your charm...

totally agree with likeyou
I always believe those military men who bring their obnoxious 'follow my orders and no further questions' mentality to govern the outside civilian world will never ever succeed in the long run and earn the people's respect in life.
If we ever have leaders/MPs with army life hangovers or brainwashings, I dare say Singapore is drifting dangerously to the abyss as a military state like North Korea
This is typical example of "elitist" government.
PAP always think they are RIGHT, and whoever oppose them is WRONG!
If you oppose PAP, u must "REPENT" (according to MM Lee). or I ask police to arrest you (according to LTY)
Democracy? more like autocracy for me. and just a bit short of being communist.
I think better change our singapore pledge. otherwise I feel pain whenever I pledge Singapore as a "DEMOCRATIC" country. sob sob..
fuck yew
wa...next time i won't allow them to come near or shake my hand.
Can call police on Singapore citizen who wants to ask a few more questions. I not free anymore to let them shake my hand. Come to my house i also not free to entertain.
My employer like pap.
Always right, ear closed, dont like? F.off. Resign? Go ahead. Feedback? No...you listen to me, not I listen to you.

Audio: A former teammate's take on Cortez Kennedy
Feb 3, 2012, 7:05 PM | Updated: 7:06 pm
By Brady Henderson
For three seasons, Dave Wyman had a front-row view of Cortez Kennedy's dominance.
Wyman, a former Seahawks linebacker who was teammates with Kennedy from 1990-92, watched as Kennedy got to the quarterback at a rate uncommon for a defensive tackle.
As Wyman and John Clayton discussed during Friday's editon of Cold Hard Facts, Kennedy racked up 58 sacks in 11 seasons despite playing in a defense that often called for Kennedy to take on multiple blockers.
"He wasn't lining up in gaps. He wasn't hiding. They were triple-teaming him," Wyman said. "It was just amazing to watch."
Clayton noted that Kennedy has more sacks than any other defensive tackle in the Hall of Fame (though some HOF defensive tackles predate the NFL's recognition of sacks as an official stat).
Clayton is among the selectors who will decide this weekend whether or not Kennedy and 16 other finalists will make the Hall of Fame.
You can listen to the conversation here.

Preparing for Ordained Ministry (Holy Orders)
Are you discerning a call to ministry?
At Saint Paul's we have a vision to plant and grow Anglican churches and Classical schools in California.
Our mission requires faithful, committed, and enthusiastic men to lead the way. All men are called to ministry as laity serving as husbands, fathers, lay-readers, bible study leaders, and in their secular vocations.
A few are called by God to ordained ministry. The biblical basis for ordained (or ordered) ministry derives from the Lord's commissioning of the twelve apostles, as referenced in all three of the synoptic gospels. The continuity of apostolic authority takes on even greater significance and responsibility after Pentecost (Acts 2: 1-13). Anglicans retain the ancient three-fold pattern of ordaining bishops, priests, and deacons in the church.
Baptized men, having a sense of their call to the diaconate or the priesthood, will proceed through a series of steps to be ordained. These include meeting with the Rector, Vestry, Bishop, and attending Seminary.
Are you interested in ordination?
Contact Rev. Steve Macias (firstname.lastname@example.com) for information about discerning a call to the priesthood.
The Ordination Process
Aspirant - Applied and Sponsored by Parish
Postulant - Background Checks and Evaluation by Bishop
Candidate - Completed Education and Assessments
Ordination to the Diaconate
Ordination to the Priesthood
Ordination in the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC / DMA)
The Rev. Steve Macias and The Rev. James Gadomski are both clergy of the Reformed Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Mid-America under the Most Rev. Bishop Ray R. Sutton. The diocesan Bishop leads the diocese as Chief Pastor, and the Bishops in Council lead the whole church. The Bishops and the Presiding maintain visible communion with Anglican churches across the world, as well as maintaining fellowship with other faithful Christian churches.
Those aspiring to ordained ministry must, therefore, show a sense of personal call which is then confirmed by the laity and clergy of their local church, with the Bishop making the final decision. They must be examined in order to determine their preparation and fitness for leadership and ministry. And they must have a specific ministry plan that requires ordination to the order to which they aspire.

Theological Education and Anglican Seminaries
The Reformed Episcopal Church takes seriously her call and responsibility to train succeeding generations for ministry within the Church. Almost since her founding in 1873, the Reformed Episcopal Church has had at least one Theological Seminary to fulfill this responsibility. Currently, there are three Theological Institutions of the Reformed Episcopal Church within the United States and two in Europe (Croatia, Germany). In addition, Assistant Bishop to Cuba, William Suarez, utilizes a spanish language training program developed by Moore College to train our Cuban pastors.

A judge in Brazil has banned abortion for an 11-year-old girl who became pregnant after being raped, prompting widespread outrage.
The move, which came to light Monday, has put the judge, Joana Ribeiro Zimmer, under investigation by the country's Court of Justice.
The young girl was raped earlier this year, and after it was determined that she was pregnant, she was taken to a hospital in Florianopolis, the capital of southern Brazil's Santa Catarina state.
There are no other details regarding the rape, other than it reportedly took place in the family home.
The girl, accompanied by her mother, was seen by Dr. Polydoro Ernani de Sao Thiago, who is affiliated with the University of Santa Catarina.
He allegedly refused to perform an abortion on her after determining that she was more than 22 weeks pregnant, with the hospital's in-house rules stating that they could only perform an abortion on someone up to 20 weeks and that they needed a court order.
The case was referred to the judge, who reportedly refused to grant the 11-year-old rape victim permission to have the abortion. She reportedly said that if she had granted the girl an abortion, she would not have been "protecting the daughter," and would instead have been "subjecting her to a homicide."
The girl was reportedly kept in a shelter for women to protect her from her aggressor, with her distraught mother reportedly saying that if she had not been taken to the shelter, she would have performed the abortion on her daughter herself.
While abortion is largely illegal in Brazil, with pregnant women who have abortions risking one to three years in prison and doctors who perform them risking up to four years behind bars, they are legal in cases of rape or when the pregnancy poses a risk to the mother.
The Court of Justice of Santa Catarina has since said that its Internal Affairs Office is now looking into Judge Joana Ribeiro Zimmer for allegedly stopping the 11-year-old from having a legal abortion.
The case has attracted widespread criticism in the largely Catholic country, with experts quoted in local media as saying that there is no legal basis for the situation, neither regarding the stance that the hospital adopted, nor for the judge's decision.
The court said in a statement that they had "initiated a request for measures in the administrative sphere for the proper investigation of the facts."
The IPAS organization, which campaigns for abortion and contraception worldwide, says: "Because Brazilian law only permits abortion in cases of rape, fetal anencephaly, or risk to life, in 2012 the country's Ministry of Health reported only 1,626 legal abortions in a nation with 203 million people.
"However, an estimated one million Brazilian women have abortions every year. Many of those women, particularly those without the financial or social resources to see a well-trained, willing provider, run a huge legal risk when they decide to end an unwanted pregnancy.
"The physical consequences can also be devastating."
The case is ongoing.
Last week, the premature baby of a 12-year-old Bolivian girl who was allegedly raped by her grandfather died after the girl was denied an abortion.
Under Bolivian law, abortion is legal for rape and incest victims, but the procedure can only be undertaken up to the 22nd week of pregnancy.
The pregnant girl had begged to be allowed to terminate the pregnancy, but she had been told she was too late.
Medics at the German Urquidi Maternal and Child Hospital in Cochabamba had denied her pleas because she was six months pregnant at the time.
The hospital's refusal to terminate the young girl's pregnancy was controversial in Bolivia, with abortion campaigners calling for reform of the country's abortion laws.
The infant was delivered by C-section in the 29th week of the pregnancy. The premature newborn's health was delicate and it was placed in an incubator but died.
The girl was reportedly raped by her grandfather in Senda F, in the municipality of Chimore, and it is said that the elderly man, a farmer, allegedly raped his granddaughter many times before she became pregnant.
He is now being held in pre-trial custody at San Pedro de Sacaba prison.
The name of the alleged perpetrator was not given in local reports.


text: JBS Foods, the world's largest meat processor, has halted production at several of its facilities around the world following a cyber attack over the last weekend in May. "On Sunday, May 30, JBS USA determined it was the target of an organized cybersecurity attack affecting some of the servers supporting it is North American and Australian IT systems," the company said in a statement released Monday afternoon. The impacts were first seen in JBS operations in Australia and recorded by local newspaper BeefCentral later Monday, which reported the cancellation of activities in several cities across the country. The CEO of JBS Australia confirmed the cyberattack and the shutdown of operations, without mentioning how long the work stoppage would last. However, he said operations could not return to normal without proper access to IT systems. Australian meat processing operations would be impossible without normal access to IT systems and the internet, according to BeefCentral. JBS's IT division was working yesterday to speed up the resumption of operations. "The company's backup servers were unaffected, and it is actively working with an incident response company to restore its systems as quickly as possible," the newspaper said. According to ABC News, the Australian government is also working with JBS Foods to investigate the cyberattack. JBS Foods Australia claims to be "the country's largest meat and food processing company, operating technologically advanced production and value-added facilities and feedlots while owning Australia's largest smallgoods manufacturer and operating a high-quality meat cutting and a case-ready production facility." JBS employs around 11,000 people in Australia and New Zealand.

Updated: Mar 3
PlaySide signs early eight-figure (AUD) work-for-hire development agreement with 2K Games, a label of leading global Publisher Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO, US$21b market cap).
This is the largest work-for-hire agreement PlaySide has signed since listing.
2K Games is developing a forthcoming franchise with PlaySide acting as a key partner.
The development cycle will be over 23 months, with a 12-month maintenance period post-launch.
PlaySide CEO Gerry Sakkas said:
"This is an extremely pleasing outcome for PlaySide, representing the largest work for hire contract since listing. We are excited to be working with 2K Games, a label from one of the world's largest Publishers, Take-Two Interactive Software."
"Our ability to secure this agreement with 2K Games underlines our position as Australia's largest publicly listed game developer. We are looking forward to starting work on this project to demonstrate our capabilities in AAA game development on a franchise that we are extremely passionate about."
"This deal is reflective of the quality of Age of Darkness: Final Stand which has been the catalyst for companies like 2K Games to recognise the Company's world class development capabilities."
Summary PlaySide Studios Limited (ASX: PLY) ("PlaySide"), Australia's largest publicly listed video games developer, is pleased to announce it has entered into a significant work-for-hire development agreement with 2K Games, a label from global developer, publisher, and marketer of interactive entertainment Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO, US$21.4b market cap).
Work-for-hire strategy
Since inception, PlaySide has been highly successful in winning fixed price development contracts which provided predictable and defined cashflows that have helped to fund the development of the Company's Original IP titles. As the Company has rapidly grown its Original IP portfolio and entered the PC and console markets it has shifted its work for hire strategy to target larger contracts with AAA studios and important partners that have strategic significance to PlaySide. These contracts provide attractive and stable revenue for PlaySide, while providing opportunities to access other partnership relationships, and to enhance the Company's development, publishing, licensing, and commercialisation capabilities.
Developing a strong relationship with 2K Games through quality delivery and partnering is seen as a long term strategic benefit to Playside and furthers our credentials as a global player in the marketplace.
The agreement relates to the production of a forthcoming major franchise. The project will have a development cycle of 23 months, with 12 months of maintenance post launch and is fixed price milestone based without revenue share.

With the Cleansing Fire conclave approaching its end, the appropriate poll question for this week is: Who has been the greatest bishop in the history of the DoR? There are several fine choices for you to choose from below. If you strongly feel that an auxiliary bishop has been our best bishop, go ahead and post the name as a write-in candidate, though this list is filled with all of our chief shepherds. I think this one may be a blowout, but we'll see how the vote goes down. Try and evaluate the entire body of work, not just who was a nice guy or a great speaker. Happy voting!
Results from poll #11 – How do you prefer to make your Confession? This contest was not even close. "In the box or behind a screen" was the runaway favorite, with 56% of the 43 votes cast. The distant second place choice was face-to-face with nine votes, followed by "It's been so long" with eight. Thank you once again for your participation.

Skeletons in the Closet also makes custom bridal gowns. For the brides that who want to have a one of a kind gown, or for brides who just can not find the gown they dream of in a regular store.
Custom bridal gowns are usually ordered at least 6 months in advance, and you either need an in person fitting or a long distance toile fitting.
Prices go from 1200-5000 euro's
Here are some examples of wedding gowns we made in the past, or gowns that could have been worn at a wedding.
This fantasy style gown was not made for a wedding but would have been great for one. The combination of deep red and cream is royal and makes a lasting impression.
A gold and ivory dream. Brocade overbust corset with a silk skirt.
Please do not be scared to contact me for your dream wedding gown. Altough custom made couture is not cheap it also does not have to break the bank.
For example a wedding gown consisting out of: Custom made (incl mock-up) silk corset, Ball gown skirt with lining and hand finshed hem and a hoop underskirt can start at 1200 euro's.
It becomes more expensive if you wish to add hand cut French lace stitched by hand on the corset, or a large cathedral train or silk flowers, or layers and layers of bridal tule.

What I've been reading
1. Lane Kenworthy, Social Democratic Capitalism. A very smart, well-written, well-argued book, and an argued book indeed it is. As the title suggests, Kenworthy tries to persuade the reader to embrace social democratic capitalism, but with an emphasis on what government can do, not the market. One rebuttal: responding to the Swiss experience requires far more than the two short paragraphs on pp.105-106, and furthermore Switzerland has done very well in many sectors above and beyond being a financial safe haven (which in some regards hurts those other sectors through exchange rate effects).
Laurence Louër, Sunnis and Shi'a: A Political History of Discord. Captures the complexities, and in fact pulls the reader away from the usual tired dichotomy.
Neil Price, A History of the Vikings: Children of Ash and Elm. I have only browsed this book, yet it appears to have much more information about the Vikings than other books I know, yet without getting squirrelly. That said, I find it difficult to connect books on the Vikings with the broader conceptual narratives I know, and thus I do not retain their content very well. So I am never sure if I should read another book on the Vikings.
John Took's Dante is the book to read on Dante after you've read all the other books (an interesting designation, by the way, I wonder how many areas have such books? In most cases, if you've read all the other books you shouldn't bother with the next one!).
Fred Kaplan, The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War, is not a secret history, but it is a good general overall introduction to its chosen topic.
Dietrich Vollrath, Fully Grown: Why a Stagnant Economy is a Sign of Success is now out, my previous review is at that link, an excellent book on economic growth and it will make my best of the year list.

As opposed to some other types of illnesses, mental disorders are always challenging, to say the least. Dealing with the physical signs of an illness is pretty straightforward in the sense that there are prescribed medications or therapy, while it's usually hard to determine how and when you are making progress with mental issues. Still, we are going to try to do just that, by telling you how you can help any loved ones you know who are currently struggling with mental illness.
Recognise The Early Signs
First of all, it's very important to recognise the first signs of an illness, unless you already know what condition your family member or friend is suffering from. This is not an easy feat, since many of the occurrences may simply be a phase in someone's behaviour. Nevertheless, should you have any doubts about their mental state, it's important you start paying close attention.
For instance, if you see them losing interest in their favourite pastime, getting tired easily or frequently losing their appetite, they could be suffering from depression. On the other hand, anxious people are prone to avoiding certain situations, are easily irritated and generally appear pale and tense. Either way, when you notice something strange in their behaviour, you should be wary of whether it's just a random phase, or if it has become commonplace.
Don't Wait – Talk!
Despite the fact that you shouldn't jump to conclusions about confirming mental issues, you mustn't wait too long to give a helping hand either. Approach them, but don't do it while they're in the middle of doing something else. Plan the conversation, and set aside some special time when both of you can have a meaningful conversation, without any external distractions.
Also, instead of guessing and suggesting how they might be feeling, let them tell you on their own. Don't draw conclusions too soon. Make sure that you ask them what they would like to do as this will make them feel more comfortable. Their answers should give you a clearer picture.
Naturally, this is not an easy task at all, even when you know what your beloved one is battling with. For this reason, try to be informed as much as possible. There is plenty of information available through books, blogs, and it goes without saying that you should always consult with a professional. Alternatively, you could also consider getting further educated on the subject by signing up for an online course that deals with mental health to help be even better prepared for tough situations, or perhaps even a potential career change.
Healthy Lifestyle
Regardless of whether or not the illness has been diagnosed or not, every person should try to be fit and healthy since it contributes immensely to our mental wellbeing. Should you feel uncomfortable or too inexperienced to talk about their mental issues, the least you can do is to enquire whether they have a healthy lifestyle. That implies a healthy diet, spending enough time in nature and having regular exercise. Of course, setting an example or doing the activities together is much better than plain advice.
Work With The Team
Sometimes it may feel as though the whole burden rests on your shoulders, but it needn't be the case. Cooperate closely with the experts, i.e. counsellors, social workers or any doctors treating your friend. They will be grateful that the patient has someone willing to help them, as you can greatly contribute to the healing process if you follow their instructions closely.
Don't Hesitate
Unfortunately, certain conditions are beyond your help and cannot be treated without the direct help of medical staff. Nobody likes hospitals, let alone being admitted to a psychiatric institution, so it's only natural that you may feel rather uneasy about it. Nevertheless, when we're talking about mental disorders, it's much better to be safe than sorry. It can mean the difference between life and death, not only for the patient, but for anyone in their immediate environment as well.
Be Very Patient
Hardly any mental illness has been developed in an instant, but they are rather a result of a state which took years to develop. Therefore, the healing process cannot be immediate either. Provide encouragement and support, and keep reminding yourself and others that complete recovery takes time. After all, no one would expect a broken arm to heal in a week, and mental issues are no different.
Take Care Of Yourself
At this grave moment, you may be so focused on helping others that you forget to take care of yourself, too. Bear in mind that you also need love and support, as well as a healthy routine and enough sleep. Only if we feel good are we able to help others feel that way, too.
Finally, it would be your task to persuade them that it is perfectly possible for them to live a better and healthier life. Believe in your abilities and theirs, act accordingly, and positive outcomes will be inevitable.

Tentech Inc. (CEO Ro Young Woo) announced that it has signed an exclusive rights agreement with Tensera, a 2-line HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound), in Japan.
The party to the copyright contract is Japan's Marvelous Beauty Co., Ltd., a company that specializes in distributing beauty-related medical devices, and the export contract is about $2 million.
Currently, countries with overseas distribution rights contracts include Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Since Tensera's CE medical device approval has been issued, it is preparing to sign additional contracts with more than 10 countries.
Tentech has been recognized for its technological prowess by selling 800 units within a year after launching 'One Thera', an ultrasound equipment for management offices last year.
A Tentech official said, "Overseas exports of One Thera are steadily increasing. We are exporting to Iran, Mexico, the Philippines, Singapore, Chile, Armenia, India, the United States, Australia, Lithuania, Greece, Azerbaijan and Turkey, and Ten Hi, a high-frequency equipment for management offices. Exports are also stable," he said.
Tentech is planning to launch an additional management office equipment, 10 Sono, this month. 10 Sono is a device to which microbubble ultrasound technology is applied.

The Wine Country, just a half hour before Sunset, is a very special place to be during the Harvest Season until mid December. The backlit leaves just explode in color. This grape cluster is just begging to be harvested!
This image truly captures the essence of harvest! These grapes are begging to be picked! The brilliant Fall color just accentuates the haste of the "Crush".
Printed at 12 x 18 inches, and matted and framed to 18 x 24 inches, this image is truly a wonderful capture of this beautiful scene.

TAICHUNG CITY, Taiwan — Often when traveling to other parts of Asia, and in the West, people are caught off-guard when I mention I am a third-generation Singaporean, given my Sri Lankan Tamil ancestry. In spite of increasing connectivity, most people in Asia and beyond are not aware of the heterogeneity that exists within the various countries in the region. They believe the sweeping narratives that demarcate a supposed collective Asian identity, even though the continent is evidently far more diverse and nuanced. The 2019 Asian Art Biennial, for all its curatorial ambition to shift our gaze beyond the generalized narratives by exploring spaces of anarchy in Asia, fails to comprehend the heterogenous and fragmented nature of being Asian, from ancient times through now.
The seventh edition of the Asian Art Biennial (AAB) titled, The Strangers from Beyond the Mountain and the Sea, focuses on an ambitious diagrammatic curatorial theme involving two highly contentious regions, "Zomia" and "Sulu Sea," represented by the mountain and the sea in the title. Mounted at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Taiwan, it is co-curated by Taiwanese and Singaporean artists Hsu Chia-Wei and Ho Tzu-Nyen.
In The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia, the author and anthropologist James C. Scott describes Zomia as "a term for highlander common to several related Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in the India-Bangladesh-Burma border area." Scott views the region of Zomia with its high altitudes and rugged terrain as ungovernable by the surrounding low-lying states, creating a space through centuries for non-state peoples including ethnic minorities, forgotten war guerillas, and drug dealers. The Sulu Sea, a marginal sea between the Pacific Ocean and South China Sea, with Borneo in the South and the Philippines in the North, is well known due to activities in the area by Philippine-based, Jihadist militants such as the Abu Sayyaf Group. The sea is also historically known as a route used for slave raiding and piracy.
The idea of exploring spaces of anarchy in Asia is definitely intriguing for a continent collectively hellbent on rapid modernization and economic progress. The most ubiquitous images of Asia tend to be skyscrapers, bustling metropolises, hyper urban and cosmopolitan citizenry, despite the inherently conservative or spiritual nature of society. There are also very few efforts to showcase the shadow self of our disparate identities.
The range of these identities becomes especially apparent at the AAB. Scattered across various galleries in the behemoth space of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the Biennial presents paintings, installations, video works, and performances by 30 artists and collectives from 16 countries. However, only nine works are newly commissioned and there are only two Indian artists on show — Zuleikha Chaudhari and Shilpa Gupta — with no works from artists in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka.
In light of this failure the exhibition can only be described as underwhelming, especially given its lofty curatorial theme and its expansive platform as an Asian art biennial. The entire visitor experience boils down to wandering into various galleries with no clear coherence in the narrative that should connect them. An ineffective effort to create a semblance of narrative involves small rooms interspersed throughout the gallery spaces. These rooms contain wooden structures displaying footnotes to the exhibition, providing background on the works and the artists' own thought process. These materials include coordinates from maps and historical facts on Asian regions known for their 19th-century maritime and political activities such as the Golden Triangle, and are accompanied by relevant images from archives of the British Library, the New York Public Library and more. There was supposed to be a sound accompaniment to these rooms, but I do not recall hearing anything.
The artworks exhibited in the museum indoor atrium surrounding the galleries were even less effective in conveying that this exhibition is a biennial exploring nuanced and vast themes across diverse and distinctive identities, let alone the notion of anarchy and anarchic spaces in Asia.
Taiwanese artists collective Open Contemporary Art Centre (OCAC) and Indonesian artists collective Lifepatch presented their site-specific installation "Deposits of the Island" (2019) exploring the historical layers of the Taiwanese mountain village Jinguashi which is famous for its gold and copper mines. As part of their immersive, colorful, and playful installation at the biennial, they created various items including umbrellas with different sounds you can hear when you use them; massage beds with colorful thread work in various cartoonish images such as a flower, or hands, or waves that are supposed to represent the emotional states of migrant workers in Taiwan; an installation made from an old miner's house presenting transparent cylinders on shelves showcasing Indonesian traditional medicines such as roots, leaves, seeds. The layout of these objects is haphazard. Moreover, the installation does not draw a strong link to the exploration of anarchy and relevant spaces in Asia — it is mostly yet another showcase of the global capitalist phenomena and its effects on Asia.
There is one work in the entire exhibition that provides the link between anarchy and Asian spaces both in an accessible and bold manner that does not aim for sweeping narratives. New York-based German and Monglian-Chinese artist Timur Si-Qin's "East, South, West, North" (2018) features sculptures recreating rocks similar to those found in the digital images of mountainous landscape on lightboxes placed around the room. The rocks were created from crab, insect, shell, tree bark, and other found pieces the artist came across and 3D scanned in a bid to create a new ritual and space of worship involving a primal connection between human and animal. This is all part of "New Peace", an ongoing project regarding creating secular spirituality in our times of seismic political change.
It would be refreshing to see more art in such a major platform that dared to boldly take on distinctive explorations of the various contemporary and ancient aspects of Asia, especially its more primal and anarchic forms, instead of getting lost in the socially acceptable narratives of being Asian and its mythical collective identity.
The 2019 Asian Art Biennial continues at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (No. 2 Section 1, Wuquan West Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan) through February 9. The exhibition was curated by Hsu Chia-Wei and Ho Tzu-Nyen.
