New Year, New Skincare (Korean + Taiwanese Brands)
Naruko is a Taiwanese brand. This is their Raw Job's Tears CO2 Pore Minimising & Brightening Foaming Facial Wash. My first two uses of this have not been drying in the slightest but the jury is still out on what happens over long term use. I'm assigning this to morning cleanser duty as it's something light and refreshing.
Naruko was brought to my attention after I discovered one of their sheet masks in a sheet mask subscription box. The Raw Job's Tears skincare line is an interesting name and is called as such because it includes Job's Tears, a superfood cereal based grain. I'd never heard of this native plant to Southeast Asia and also discovered that elsewhere it can commonly be known as Chinese pearl barley so look out for that.
Job's Tears is used for potential anti-aging properties and for hydrating the skin. This skincare line by Naruko is focused on brightening and pore minimising. Both of which are on my skincare to-do list this year.
Obviously. This is the W.Lab Double Water Shaking Mist. A bi-phase formulation that contains an oil and water phase with the aim to provide great hydration but also that fresh skin feeling. It contains oatmeal oil and Alaskan glacier water as one of many interesting ingredients so I'm intrigued for sure.
Say what? When I heard about these from Gothamista I was looking for where I could purchase a bottle. Make P:rem have come out with a face mask designed to be used in the shower. I've already used this a couple of times and it's like a jelly moisturiser that sinks into the skin with the heat of the shower. It leaves my skin soft and the fruit extracts are a great chemical exfoliant. I'm also in love with the minimal aesthetic they have going on. Make P:rem has already been noted as one of those brands I want to discover more from this year.

Thornwell School for the Arts
Any day with grandparents can be special, but when they come to school, it's even better. Students at Thornwell School for the Arts invited grandparents to come and visit in celebration of Grandparents Day.
Grandparents Day was an idea from housewife Marian McQuade. The woman living in Fayette County, West Virginia, wanted to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes, and also wanted to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
The smiling faces on both children and grandparents at Thornwell School for the Arts demonstrates how important the love of a grandparent can be.

Community, Updates, and Multi-tasking
Thing a Day update 2/18-2/23
Howdy Folks!
I have been keeping my Thing a day, to thing-every few days or thing-a-week, which I think is probably ok as to not clutter and spam the blog. But don't fret, I am still working on my armies! This update straddles a weekend, so not too much happened on Saturday and Sunday. Recent highlights after the jump.
- More work on the Jump Packs.
- Nerd Party/Blog boot camp for our new blogger, Lord Castillo.
- Finished, i.e. Based/Magnetized my 95% assembled Storm Raven.
- Tuesday Night fights, 2000 Point game.
- Refining Traitor Guard army Ideas...(more info on a later post).
- Community statement
Jump packs
My jump packs are done with the grunt work stages. All remaining is the metals, purity seals, and finishing touches. I hope to have these all done and have the first squad airbrushed/based by next weekend. No pics, but this weekend I'll get more work on them and post 'em up. Scout's honor.
Nerd party/Blog Boot camp
On Sunday, 2/20 Lord Castillo and I got together had lunch with the significant others, and met on Blog ideas, fluff and background work, and overall nerd talk at my place. We kinda finalized the narrative ideas and LC will probably be getting Planetary Empires for us to give it the good old college try. I presented him the glory of the IA books and the narrative./awesome ideas presented within. Especially the Badab War stuff in IA9. The day before, Saturday, LordC and our local new GK player, FreddyB played a few games at the LordC castle. Hopefully he will blog up a few reports and posts about 'em. (hint hint)
Stormraven 100%
Finished my Storm Raven with a few remaining hours of work. This was the Raven from the FLGS that I assembled for display before the launch date. It was all glued together, so I took my soft and gentle ape paws and removed the wings to be magnetized. This was a fun test as to the best way to magnetize the wings and air vent. I also taped off the clear stand and made up the rubble on the base. Here are some pics.
|Look ma, no hands! Magnets HO!
|Fully assembled, and ready for primer.
Tuesday Night Fight
Against Lord Castillio's Chaos, 2k points, Dawn of War, Killpoints. I wanted to give another try to my full mech as it has been a steep learning curve for me. Drawing DoW and KP was a downer right off the bat as I wanted to try my alpha strike idea, and with 18KP available in my list, I knew it would be uphill. It ended with LordC at
The Angels Sanguine
- 3 TLAC Predators.
- 3 Baal/HB.
- 4 Razor HF with 5 man ASM melta/infernus.
- 2 Rhino with Libby(shield/lance) + HG/2 Meltas.
The Lord's Chaos.
- 10 Plague Marines in Rhino.
- 2 x 10 Noise Marines with Master Blaster.
- 1 Dread with TLAC/CCW.
- 6 Termies.
- Nurgle Lord "Sir Cannon Fodder" on bike.
- 10 Chosen (the infiltrators) with 3 Plasmaguns.
As always, this list I work against has a few very important goals for me...KILL SIR CANNON FODDER, and simply run up and purge the Chaos with Holy Promethium!
I played this time more aggressively, and had a first turn chance to mass fire the Plague Marines but the dice started against me. The obliterators were rolling fail all game long for LordC, but he was able to pop a few of my rhinos and knock out some of my ASM with his Noise Marines and Chainfisted Termies, giving him the win. This game gave me good rolls with the Blood Llance, popping Lord Cannon Fodder on turn 2. MORAL VICTORY!
Overall, for me this was a great learning game, I had a great time, and I believe I am starting to get better with the Full Mech Sanguine army.
Traitor Guard
Lastly, a bit of a teaser update...further info pending. I will be working on collecting a Traitor Guard army. Inspired by the IA9 Badab War book and the awesome awe inspiring army work by Dan of Ten Inch Template, I plan to slowly work on this to be my second main army and this gives me some building and conversion tasks between painting my AS.
It will do you well to check out Dan's blog. He has also has and continues to contribute to one of my favorite Podcasts, 11th Company. Read the blog listen to the podcasts..DO EEET!!!
You'll thank me later!!
Below is my army chart planning for the army. I will get into specifics of the lists and army in later posts.
|Clicky for readability.

Claudia, I agree with most of your comments but I still don't like Murakami's exhibition in Versailles. It is ridiculously out of place. I can conceive that some people like Murakami and want to see his art, but why put it there? People who go to Versailles want to see the chateau and his masterpieces, not so-called contemporary Japanese art!.
What do you get when you mix France's Bourbon tradition with Japanese Pop art in the Palace of Versailles? You get the newest scandal in the frequently scandalous world of contemporary art. Takashi Murakami's exhibition at Versailles has not only stirred up controversy, but also provoked a lawsuit from the Prince Sixte Henri de Bourbon-Parme, a descendent of the Bourbon kings, in the name of "respecting the chateau and its ancestors." M. de Bourbon-Parme claims that he's not "against the modernity of art, but against a way of thinking that denatures and does French culture no good."
Indeed, in some respects Murakami's brand of pop art—which he calls "superflat"--couldn't be more glaringly different from the Baroque splendor of Versailles. The palace embodies the triumphant power and control associated with Louis XIV, the Sun King, who instituted Versailles as the seat of French culture and monarchic power. By way of contrast, Murakami's art couldn't be more "plebian". It's influenced by Japanese comic books, turning pop culture motifs into greater-than-life, colorful and bizarre sculptures. One of Murakami's most controversial piece, "My Lonesome Cowboy," features a larger-than-life boy masturbating. This sculpture is absent from the Versailles exhibit. But the odd-looking pink teletubby perched on a globe of flowers (I don't know how else to describe it) and the blond sexy maid in red high heels stick out like a sore thumb in Versailles' majestic hallways and spectacular rooms.
Murakami himself attributes the scandal to "a misunderstanding" provoked by jealousy of his international success. Many of his sculptures sell for millions of dollars. In addition, the controversy generated by his art gives him the kind of international media coverage that many artists would have reason to envy. Ultimately, however, Murakami defends his Versailles exhibit in nobler terms, as a "face-off between the Baroque period and postwar Japan." He hopes that this juxtaposition "will create in visitors a sort of shock, an aesthetic feeling."
This sense of shock and aesthetic feeling is not altogether new. It reminds us of other notable exhibits which first shocked popular taste, only to be later embraced as the landmarks of Paris. When it was first erected in 1889 The Eiffel Tower caused a stir. Similarly, the Centre Georges Pompidou, which now houses the Museum of Modern Art, was viewed by many as an eyesore in the traditional Beaubourg area of Paris when it opened in 1977. Even I. M. Pei's spectacular Louvre Pyramid from 1989 was initially met with mixed reviews.
Of course, those who object to Murakami's exhibit will find some solace in the fact that it will not be a permanent feature of Paris (it only runs from September 14 to December 12, 2010). But the argument the artist makes is similar to those who view the role of modern art as provoking viewers and providing a sharp contrast to past artistic traditions rather than attempting to emulate them or to fit in with their styles. Personally, I think that the contrast between Versailles' ornate Rococo style and the playfulness of Murakami's pop sculptures isn't as striking as it may seem. The flowery and colorful Japanese displays could be viewed as a contemporary version of Rococo's over-the-top ornamentation.
Yet, in some respects, it's the traditional context of Murakami's Versailles exhibit that lends his pop art some element of surprise. I sure wouldn't be shocked or even mildly surprised to find it in contemporary art galleries or museums! When I step into any contemporary art gallery or museum I expect to find pickled sharks, crap ready-mades (sometimes literally!) and all kinds of post-Warhol pop art. By way of contrast, as I mentioned in my previous essay on the lack of genuine artistic freedom, nothing would shock me more than to find more traditional art—in the Realistic or Romantic traditions—in a Museum of Contemporary Art or discussed in the art section of prominent magazines. Perhaps this is why I'd find surprising, unexpected and refreshing a kind of chiasmic reversal: walking through the traditional splendor of Versailles to pass by Murakami's comic book sculptures and walking through the "cutting-edge" galleries and museums devoted to contemporary art to discover age-old traditions, a new Romanticism or Realism, rediscovered and renewed by contemporary artists for our times.
If this chiasmic reversal isn't quite reciprocated, it's because even though some people may vociferously complain about the newest fad in art, contemporary artists who aim to shock the public are in fact glorified and fetishized by the artistic establishment (by critics, the media and museums of contemporary art), while talented traditional contemporary artists are systematically ignored. Given this inherent bias in the artistic establishment, pretty soon the "cutting-edge" art that's supposed to shock and stir in us "aesthetic feelings" will be greeted by the public with a big yawn.
These kind of exhibitions should aim to enable a dialog. In our case a dialog between the unique setting, which is the Chateau of Versailles, and the questionable pop art of Takashi Murakami. Alas, there are only parallel monologues and an overall feeling of some oxymoronic combination. The same was true for the 2008 Jeff Koon's retrospective shown at the Chateau. I think that Laurent Le Bon, the curator, should look elsewhere if he really wants "to spark a reflection on the contemporary nature of our monuments and the indispensable need to create our own era".
I like the playful teletubby thing in the hallowed halls. Let's face it, Versailles is pompous with a capital P. I like Versailles and I have been there many times, but its size and scale were built to say 'I am the greatest man on the planet'. It needs a good send up.
Michael, since you mention Versailles needed some lightening up, I couldn't agree with you more. We lost sight of what Rococo was about. Unfortunately, now it's seen as a dead and pompous movement in the pages of art history. Originally, however, the Rococo movement was about having fun celebrating life's pleasures (at least for the aristocracy). To show just how light-hearted the Rococo style of Versailles was, a postromantic artist and I have made a video on youtube about François Boucher, one of the main court painters. So... vive le Rococo! You can find our tribute video on the link below:
Claudia -
I like the Boucher video! His work makes me think of Reubens with a lighter touch. I'm thinking about the room in the Louvre that has the Reubens paintings of the life of Marie de Medici - very sensual, yet mind-blowing when seen all at once. Reubens was in the earlier Baroque style but you can see the transition when you look at the Boucher paintings.
Vienna is a good city for Rococo (and Baroque) architecture. I agree - vive le Rococo.
Claudia, I agree with what you say about the playfulness of the Rococo style and enjoyed watching your art video. As for the Japanese pop art exhibit, the French have a saying about that:
"Plus ça change, plus ça reste la même chose."
Michael, thanks for your comment about Rococo. I'm hoping that even those who don't appreciate this style of art the way you and I do--or other styles in art history, for that matter--will like it better if it's presented in a more entertaining, modern and engaging manner. Which is why--to address Gary's comment--I felt that putting Murakami in Versailles wasn't necessarily a bad move. To offer one analogy, my daughter likes classical music because it's often played in movies and cartoons, not because we take her to the symphony (where she gets bored).
I agree, there is a general lack of genuine artistic freedom right now, and Takashi Murakami had nothing to do in the French palace!
A very good article!
Perhaps more shocking would be rococo art thrown into a space designated for contemporary art. Perhaps outside of its usual context, we would see it anew.
Steph, I love your idea! That's exactly what the contemporary artistic establishment needs: a shake-up from the past. It seems like in pop culture, Lady Gaga has the right idea with using over-the-top
Rococo fashions to her benefit.

"In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climes and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge."- Thoreau, American Thinker
The central theme of Indian Vedic sciences is to use the body, mind and soul to service the real self (cosmic spirit). Ayur(life) Veda(science) is the knowledge concerning the maintenance of a long and healthy life. Ayurvedic philosophy and teachings encourage people to follow a pure lifestyle, one that gives clarity, peace of mind and true satisfaction.
The research was done by two Indian sages Charaka and Agnivesa. Their work involved looking into the science of healthy living and prolonging life without illness. Charaka has compiled 150 chapters on details of food and drink substances, detailed classification of disease, lines of treatment, use of drugs, diet and practices of achieving good health.
The resulting Ayurvedic tradition is at least 5,000 years old in India. It is an integrated and comprehensive system of health, diet, wellness and balance for the mind, body and spirit.
The Essence of Ayur(life) veda(sciences)- Elemental Diet - Every element has its own taste. The earth is made of elements. Every season is rules by specific elements. Every individual has specific elements in them. By using diet for a balance in elements results in good health.
- A balance diet in the Ayurvedic tradition does not revolve around fats, carbohydrates, proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals. Ayurvedic Nutrition takes into account body tissues, water levels, salt levels, electrolytes in the body, gunas or properties of food, dosha or element properties of the individual, tastes, qualities present in the food and food sadhana or assimilation by our body.
- Ayurveda is a science of the individual - eating according to one's unique metabolic and neurological constitutional type and needs
A book that I would recommend for learning Ayurveda is Perfect Health : The Complete Mind/Body Program for Identifying & Soothing the Source of Your Body's Reaction by Dr. Deepak Chopra Perfect Health by Dr. Deepak Chopra

If you receive a Claim Form from a County Court through the post you need to respond rapidly. Ignoring court papers is a bad idea, even if you can't possibly pay the money. If you agree you owe the money you will get a County Court Judgment (CCJ) but if you complete the Claim Form papers properly you will be able to make monthly payments and won't get visits from bailiffs. If you don't agree you owe the money, you need to defend the Claim.
Check this really is a court form
Some debt collectors write carefully worded letters designed to make you think you are being taken to court! If you get one of these, read Threats of CCJs and bailiffs – are debt collectors bluffing?
A real N1 Court Form may be on white paper or on blue and white paper. It will have something like this at the top:
and a court stamp something like this:
In the same pack, you should have received all the following: N1 – Claim form; N9 – Response pack; N9A – Admission (specified amount); N9B – Defence and counterclaim. There should be a court name (usually this is Northampton County Court) and a claim number.
If you aren't sure, you can phone the court to check or phone National Debtline on 0808 808 4000 and ask them. National Debtline have an excellent section on their website about court action and CCJs.
If it is a real county court Claim Form, then check you are named as the Defendant on the form. If you aren't, follow the advice here about debt letters for other people coming to your house. NB if your name is slightly wrong (a typo? your maiden name?) you should treat this as though it is correctly addressed to you.
You should have received a Letter Before Claim about the debt. If you did and you ignored, it it is too late now to reply to that letter, you need to use the Response Pack which came with the Claim Form to reply. If you didn't receive this letter, or it was a long while ago, contact National Debtline and ask for advice.
So the form is real and it's addressed to you
First, don't panic! Some worries you may have:
- this is not a criminal matter – if the court decides you owe the money, you will get a County Court Judgment. CCJs aren't a criminal conviction and you can't be sent to prison for not paying the types of debts (loans, credit cards etc) that lead to this type of court action.
- if you respond to the court papers promptly as described in this article, you are not going to get bailiffs coming round to your house.
Do you agree you owe the money?
Often you know immediately which debt the form is referring to, but sometimes a debt may have been assigned to someone else – this is legal jargon for selling your debt. The new owner of the debt is entitled to sue you for the money – you don't have to have agreed to the debt being sold.
If you don't recognise the debt, call up the claimant and ask about it. You may feel nervous about being pressurised to agree to something, but make it clear you just want to know more details of the debt, then end the call when you get them. If you still don't think the debt is your, you must reply to the Claim (unless the creditor tells you in writing that they are withdrawing the Claim. Over the phone is not good enough.)
If you recognise the debt, do you accept that you should pay the money? It's not just whether you borrowed the money, what is important here is that the creditor can win the case. there is a lot of legal protection for consumers, especially for old debts. There could be many reasons for this, including:
- the amount is wrong – perhaps you paid some money recently which hasn't been taken into account;
- you have already paid the debt off – possibly several years ago;
- for credit cards (including store cards and catalogues) and loans (including HP and payday loans) the creditor has to be able to produce a copy of the written agreement for the debt. See National Debtline's Getting information about a debt for details. That tells you how to ask for this information and you should do this asap, BUT ALSO reply to the Claim, see You need to reply quickly below for details;
- the money was for some goods or services where there was something wrong and it's not right that you should pay;
- you have gone bankrupt and the debt should have been wiped out by that, or the debt was included in a DRO or an IVA;
- the debt is statute-barred so the claimant can't go to court about it because it is so old, see Questions about Statute-Barred Debt for more information;
- the claimant owes you money. This means that you have a counterclaim against the claimant, which can be decided by the court at the same time as the claim against you.
How to dispute the debt
If you don't recognise the debt or you don't agree you owe the money or you have a counterclaim, you must complete the Defence Form (N9B). Unless you are very confident about this, I suggest that you should phone National Debtline and ask for their help.
Don't worry if the court is listed as Northampton County Court – if there has to be a court hearing you can ask for this to be in your local County Court.
You need to send the Defence Form back within 14 days. If you would like more time to sort this out you should complete and send back the Acknowledgement of Service form ( N9CPC) within the 14 days and you then have 28 days from when you received the forms to return the Defence Form.
It is important that you put in your defence within the given time. If you don't, the court will usually award a CCJ "in default" because you didn't defend the case. You can apply to have this set aside, but the fee for this went up in March 2016 to £255.
What to do if you owe the money and can pay it all
If you can pay the full amount, then you should complete the Admission Form (N9A) but you don't need to give details about your income and expenses. You should fill in:
- the box which says How much of the claim do you admit
- Section 1 Personal details
- the box which says Section 11 Offer of Payment
- Section 12 Declaration – sign and date this
and you should send the form back within 14 days with your cheque. If you do this, you will not get a CCJ on your credit record. (This is not a reason to pay up and keep quiet if you have good grounds for disputing the debt. If you defend the case and lose, you still have the option then of paying the money in full within 30 days and the CCJ will then be removed from your record.)
What to do if you owe the money but need to pay in monthly instalments
Here you need to complete the Admission Form (N9A):
- the box which says How much of the claim do you admit,
- Section 1 Personal details
- Section 2,3,4,5 about your family and financial situation
- Section 6,7,8,9,10 about your income, expenditure and other debts (make sure that all your incomes and expenses are quoted as per month or per week, so that you can add them up)
- the box which says Section 11 Offer of Payment
- Section 12 Declaration – sign and date this
For more information about filling in this form see How much should I offer to a CCJ?
If the creditor accepts your offer, you will get a notice that you have a CCJ and should make the monthly payment that you have proposed. If the creditor refuses your offer, it gets sent to the court to determine how much you should pay; this is usually done without a hearing. It is common for courts to accept your offer of payment, especially if you have taken advice about how much to offer and how to complete the form.
Where to send the forms
If you are defending the claim, send the forms to the court. If you admit the claim, send the forms to the Address for sending documents on the N1 Claim form. In either case, take a copy of the forms and send them recorded delivery.
You need to reply quickly!
The time limits for replying are strict. If you don't reply in time, you don't get another chance, there won't be a court case even if you have asked the creditor for more information and they haven't replied. What happens is you get a CCJ "in default" because the rules assume that you will only not reply if you owed the money.
You only have 14 days to reply. But if you complete the Acknowledgement of Service section at any point within the 14 days, the 14 days is changed to 28 days. So do this as soon as possible, there is no downside to doing this at all.
Time for a rethink?
If you have been avoiding tackling a larger debt situation then getting these court papers is a warning that you should have a rethink. Read up about possible debt options here first, try to list all your debts and have a first stab at doing a budget, then ring National Debtline or go to your local CAB.
If you are in a DMP, then it might also be wise to think if it is going well. Is your debt dropping? How long will the DMP last? If the debt is large and you have equity in your house, it is possible the creditor is using a CCJ as the first step to try to get a charge over your house.
What happens next if I do get a CCJ?
I've done another article on this, see link below. For now the important thing is to complete and return the forms correctly, as this will minimise your problems later on.

Here we are, three-and-a-half years into the "project" known as Dogs Abound. I have had some stops and starts with blogging along the way, but honestly I've been horrible about committing to it. I *should* be blogging, for a variety of reasons, increased web traffic and all that jazz, building our brand, etc., etc,. And also because my web guru Reg says so (are you reading this Reg???).
I figured it was time to hold myself accountable, and put down the constantly swirling dust devils of ideas I have about training dogs down on the 'ol interwebs for posterity. Now that I have been doing this "dog thing" for a while, and am often teaching others, there is a lot I do know. And a lot more I still don't know, or at least am constantly turning over and over in my mind about what is "best" or "right," or at least, what is the most fair and effective way to get from point A to point B.
So, the re-intro.
My name is Elizabeth Randall, or Liz. I have been professionally training dogs for seven years as of this writing. I focus on positive-reinforcement-based training solutions, though I shy away from labels such as "clicker trainer" (though I love clickers and markers and use them daily), or "force free" (that's a whole 'nother can of worms that maybe I'll get into further down the line), or any of the other terms that people tend to use to compartmentalize what others do. I personally am obsessed with observing what smart reinforcement systems can do with dogs. The results are frankly astonishing once these methods are applied in a consistent and adept manner.
I teach pet dog skills, work with owners on behavioral solutions, and teach agility. Anyone who knows me knows agility is my life and my love, and its influence is seen frequently in my pet dog training. In order to competently "play" in the sport of agility, one's understanding of how to create, manipulate, motivate and maintain behavior has to be quite vast. So many moving parts all corresponding at high speeds...!!! Its a science and an art that one will never quite master, no matter how long we play at it. Which to me, is part of the allure. I'm a little masochistic that way apparently.
Currently I have three dogs. Forest, a 10 year old(??) Italian Greyhound - Miniature Pinscher mix (and the reason for all this training insanity!), Phineas, a seven year old pittie mix, and Beatrix, a three year old Border Collie. All three have competed and titled in a variety of dog things, but Forest is basically retired. The other two are currently actively competing in agility at the highest levels, and, Phin also has recently embarked on a competitive career in Nose Work. I am VERY excited where we will go together down that avenue as well. These three dogs have brought so much to my life, I am so very fortunate for each of them. They constantly push me to be a better trainer and a better person, and I am so lucky to have them here navigating through daily life with me.
I will be *trying* to keep up with this blog, ideally on a weekly basis, to discuss different training topics--sometimes it may be agility-related, often it will be generally just training-related, and I am sure some daily life and business stuff will just creep in, but the goal is to help people look at training from a new perspective, and to hopefully help people tackle and work through challenges they are facing with their own dogs.
Here's to getting a jump on the new year.

What do you use to take your pictures?
Since last year, I've officially switched from Canon, to my Sony a7sii. I'm still using my old Canon lens though. My go to is the 17-40mm f/4L USM ultra-wide angle. While the ultra-wide lens doesn't add much to my indoor shots, it adds that bit of drama I like in outdoor shots.
How tall are you?
I'm 5' 2".
How old are you?
False. I'm Asian, therefore age is irrelevant, but... if you must know, I'm 30.
What do you use to film and edit your videos?
When I film videos or vlogs, or anything that shows my face, I use my Sony a5100. It has a handy flip out screen (great for selfies) & great manual features, which is everything in me. What the heck is P mode?
In terms of lighting, I alternate from natural sunlight when Seattle is nice out, and my holy grail Diva Ring Light.
As for editing, I edit all my videos in Final Cut Pro X.

I just wanted to post a quick note to let you know how I differentiate between online books and e-books. I am classifying E-books as books that you can download as a file and an online book as one that is in an online format, and not downloadable.
Hope that clears up any confusion in how different books are labeled. :-)

Liquid crystal thermography is an advanced nonintrusive measurement technique, which is capable of providing a high-accuracy continuous temperature field measurement, especially for a complex structured heat transfer surface. The first part of the paper presents a comprehensive introduction to the thermochromic liquid crystal material and the related liquid crystal thermography technique. Then, based on the aythors' experiences in using the liquid crystal thermography for the heat transfer measurement, the parameters affecting the measurement uncertainty of the liquid crystal thermography have been discussed in detail through an experimental study. The final part of the paper describes the applications of the steady and transient liquid crystal thermography technique in the study of the turbulent flow heat transfer related to the aeroengine turbine blade cooling.
1. Introduction
Thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) is a cholesteric liquid crystal material. The cholesteric materials form a similar structure; however, under different temperatures the orientations of adjacent liquid crystal molecule planes are different with certain angles, which results in the reflection of different wavelengths of the visible spectrum of light when illuminated with white light and then show different colors [1–3]. Such optical characteristics of the TLC depend on its temperature and are repeatable and reversible. The accurate relations between the TLC colors and temperatures can be built through careful calibration experiments, which then can be used for precise temperature measurements of any surface.
Currently, the TLC can be provided with the operating temperature between −30°C and 150°C. The TLC may have the bandwidth (the active temperature range) of 1°C to 20°C, in which the liquid crystal can be applied for the temperature measurements by changing color: smoothly from red to blue. The response time of TLC is about 3 ms [3]. Pure TLC materials are organic compounds that can easily degrade when exposed to chemical contamination and to ultraviolet (UV) light. Currently, people can use microencapsulation process to reduce the degradation. The microsized TLC particles are microencapsulated within transparent polymer shells (PMMA), which can significantly improve the stability of liquid crystal materials and make them capable of being handled easily. The TLC materials are currently supplied by the Hallcrest Ltd. (Glenview, USA) and Merck Ltd. (Pool, UK).
TLC thermography, as a powerful nonintrusive optical technique for temperature measurement, is capable of providing a high-accuracy continuous temperature field measurement, especially for a complex structured heat transfer surface [3, 4]. However, before the TLC is used for the temperature measurement, the hue-temperature calibration must be conducted. In the past two decades, many studies have been conducted on the calibration methods of the TLC. Rao and Zang [2], Camci et al. [5], Farina et al. [6], Behle et al. [7], Sabatino et al. [8], and Chan et al. [9] studied experimentally the effects of the lighting angles and viewing angles on the hue-temperature calibration curves of the TLCs. Roth and Anderson [10], Wiberg and Lior [11], Abdullah et al. [12], and Rao et al. [13] studied experimentally the effects of the coating thickness on the TLC hue-temperature calibration curves. These previous researches only indicated that the lighting angle and the coating thickness can significantly affect the TLC hue-temperature calibration curves. It should be pointed out that, though previous studies have indicated that such factors as lighting angles and coating thickness can influence the TLC hue-temperature calibration curves, reports on how the temperature measurement uncertainty of the TLC is influenced by those factors are still quite limited.
In the present paper, the first part is focused on the discussing on the effects of the measurement parameters on the measurement uncertainty of the TLC thermography, and the second part is focused on the application of the TLC thermography to the turbulent heat transfer studies.
2. Parametric Analysis on the Measurement Uncertainty of TLC
There are many factors that can affect the TLC thermography measurement uncertainty, such as the TLC bandwidth, the color imaging processing techniques, the coating thickness, the quality of the TLC coating, and the lighting angle, and so forth.
In order to study the effects of those parameters on the measurement uncertainty of the TLC, a calibration experimental apparatus was constructed as is shown in Figure 1. The TLC thermography system consists of a Hitachi (HV-D30P) 3CCD RGB camera with a zoom lens, cold lighting source, a data acquisition system, an image acquisition system, and the related data processing software. The calibration device consists of a transparent Plexiglas cover plate, a copper plate with a film heater, and two type K thermocouples (0.5 mm in diameter) with the measurement uncertainty of ±0.1°C.
By adjusting the voltage over the film heater, the copper plate's surface temperature can be controlled precisely and rapidly. The surface of the copper base plate was first painted black paint and then a layer of liquid crystal (10–40 μm in thickness). The supplied microencapsulated TLC slurry (Hallcrest SPN100R40C20W) has an operating temperature range of 40–60°C. The changing color under the varying temperature is recorded by the 3CCD RGB camera. The TLC images are then processed by a self-developed data processing program, and the corresponding TLC hue-temperature relationship can be obtained. With the calibration experimental system, the authors have studied the effects of the influencing parameters on the measurement uncertainty of the TLC.
2.1. Effect of the Bandwidth of TLC on the Measurement Uncertainty
According to the working bandwidth, the TLC can be generally divided into the narrowband TLC and wideband TLC. A narrowband TLC has an active temperature range of 1°C, and a wideband TLC can have an active temperature range of 5°C, 10°C, or 20°C. As the bandwidth of the TLC decreases, the sensitivity of hue to temperature increases, and then the measurement accuracy of the TLC increases. The previous literatures showed that the measurement uncertainty of the narrowband TLCs is about ±0.1°C [12], ±0.1–0.3°C [7], and ±0.2–0.4°C [8] for the TLCs with the bandwidth of 5°C and 10°C, respectively. The TLC with the bandwidth of 20°C has the measurement uncertainty of about ±0.4–0.5°C [2].
2.2. Effect of Image Processing on the Measurement Uncertainty
Figure 2 shows the raw hue and the median filtered hue calibrations of the TLC. The calibration experiment was done with the finely prepared TLC coating with a thickness of 25 μm, and the lighting angle is 27°. The hue value can be calculated by the following algorithms [14].
, , and are, respectively, red, green, and blue components of the liquid crystal image pixel.
It can be seen that the hue curve becomes much smoother than the unfiltered curve. The noise in the hue curves has been effectively removed. To check the reproducibility of the hue curve of the TLC, a second heating process was conducted. Figure 2 shows good reproducibility of the hue curve of the TLC.
To estimate the measurement uncertainty of the TLC, the method described in [8] was used. A series of constant temperature TLC color images (100 × 100 pixels) of calibration were examined. The constructed polynomial fitting of the temperature-hue relation was employed to convert each sample image to the corresponding temperature field, and the standard deviation in temperature was determined for each image. Using a 95% confidence interval, the uncertainty for each discrete temperature/image was estimated as twice the standard deviation value.
Figure 3 shows the uncertainty in temperature measurement versus the actual temperature measurement. The measurement uncertainty based on the raw hue calibration ranges from 0.1 to 1.6°C with a mean of 0.98°C, and the measurement uncertainty based on the median filtered hue ranges from 0.04 to 0.87°C with a mean of 0.42°C. Therefore, a median filtering technique can significantly improve the measurement accuracy of the TLC. It is also noteworthy that the TLC shows a region-wise measurement uncertainty distribution. Over the temperature range of 41–45°C, due to a higher sensitivity of hue to temperature, the TLC has a higher measurement accuracy, and the median filtered hue calibration has a mean measurement uncertainty of 0.17°C.
2.3. Effect of Lighting Angle on the Measurement Uncertainty
The TLC calibration was conducted at various lighting angles of 20°, 27°, 30°, and 34° with the finely prepared TLC coating based on the calibration experimental system as Figure 1. Figure 4 shows the effect of the lighting angles on the hue calibration. The lighting angle has a notable effect on the hue-temperature curve, and as the lighting angle increases, the hue curve shifts upward.
Figure 5 shows the effect of the lighting angles on the uncertainty in temperature measurement versus the actual temperature measurement. It can be found that the measurement uncertainty increases with the lighting angle. The average measurement uncertainty with the lighting angle of 34° is about 25% higher than that the lighting angle of 20°. The reason should be that as the lighting angle decreases, the lighting intensity on the coating of the TLC is stronger, which leads to a stronger reflection of the color signal and thereby a higher measurement accuracy. The effect of the lighting angle on the measurement uncertainty is more distinctive in the temperature range of 45–60°C, which corresponds to the region of low TLC hue sensitivity. Therefore, in order to get a higher measurement accuracy, the lighting angle should be kept as small as possible providing the experimental space and arrangements allow.
Behle et al. [7] studied the effect of lighting angle within the range of 0–70° on the temperature measurement uncertainty of the TLC. They have shown that the measurement uncertainty increases with the lighting angle, and the average measurement uncertainty with the lighting angle of 35° is about 20% higher than that with the lighting angle of 20°, which agrees with the experimental results in the present paper.
2.4. Effect of TLC Coating Thickness on the Measurement Uncertainty
The coating thickness is also an important factor affecting the TLC measurement uncertainty. Figure 6 shows the hue curves of the TLC coatings with different thickness of 10 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, and 40 μm. The lighting angle is 27°. It can be found that the coating thickness has a notable effect on the hue-temperature curve, and as the coating thickness increases, the hue curve shifts upward.
Figure 7 shows the effect of coating thickness on the measurement uncertainty. It can be found that, except for the TLC coating thickness of 10 μm, the measurement uncertainties of the other TLC coatings show similar values with a mean of about 0.45°C over the calibratable temperature range of 41–60°C, and a thicker TLC coating shows a relatively smaller measurement uncertainty. Figure 7 also indicates that the effect of the TLC coating thickness over 20 μm is nondistinctive on the measurement uncertainty. The TLC coating with the thickness of 10 μm shows a distinctively higher measurement uncertainty, which is because that the coating is very thin, leading to a weaker reflection of the color signal and correspondingly a higher noise level in the hue.
2.5. Effect of Coating Quality on the Measurement Uncertainty
Due to the congregation of the micro-sized TLC particles in the slurry, the suspended congregated particles can be of relatively larger size of 10–20 μm. The TLC coating on the copper surface can be roughly prepared. The TLC coating can also be finely prepared by the following procedures: the TLC slurry was first diluted with an equal amount of distilled water and carefully mixed and fine-filtered; then the TLC slurry was repeatedly sprayed and dried on the black backing on the surface (1–5 μm TLC particle diameters). To examine the effect of the coating quality on the TLC hue curve calibration and the measurement uncertainty, comparative calibration experiments were conducted with a roughly prepared TLC coating and a finely prepared TLC coating under the same lighting condition (the lighting angle = 27°). Both coatings have the same thickness of 25 μm. Figure 8 shows the comparison of the hue curves of the rough coating and the fine coating. It is found that, the rough TLC coating and the fine TLC coating show different hue curves over the same monotonically calibratable temperature range. The fine TLC coating has a wider hue range, which means that the fine coating has a higher hue sensitivity to temperature and a higher resolution of the measurement.
Figure 9 shows the uncertainty in temperature measurement of the two coatings versus the actual temperature measurement. The measurement uncertainty of the fine coating ranges from 0.04°C to 0.87°C with a mean of 0.42°C; however, that of the rough coating ranges from 0.1°C to 1.2°C with a mean of 0.72°C. The fine coating shows a considerably higher measurement accuracy than the rough coating. The reason could be that compared with the fine coating, the surface of the rough coating is much rougher, and the thickness nonuniformity produces a larger noise level. Therefore, in order to get a high measurement accuracy, a finely prepared coating should be used for the actual TLC temperature measurement application.
3. Application of TLC Thermography to the Turbulent Heat Transfer Measurement
3.1. Steady and Transient TLC Thermography
The TLC thermography is capable of providing a high-accuracy and full-field temperature measurement for structured heat transfer surfaces. Therefore, in the past 20 years the TLC thermography as a powerful tool for temperature measurement has been widely used for the turbulent heat transfer research for gas turbine/jet engine hot components' cooling design [15–20].
Specifically, the application of the TLC thermography for the turbulent heat transfer study can be categorized as steady TLC thermography technique and transient TLC thermography technique.
3.1.1. Steady TLC Thermography Technique
When using the steady TLC thermography technique for the heat transfer measurement, the TLC thermography usually works together with a film heater. The TLC provides the local wall temperature data, and the film heater provides a uniform surface heat flux condition, and then the heat transfer coefficient field can be obtained. However, in the situations with complex surface structures, a film heater could not be used, and then the local heat flux data should be obtained in another way. For example, in [16, 17] the heat flux data on the complex heat transfer surface with pin fins and dimples were obtained by a three-dimensional conjugate computation; by combining the temperature field obtained by the TLC thermography, the heat transfer coefficient field can then be determined.
3.1.2. Transient TLC Thermography Technique
The transient TLC thermography technique is an advanced and efficient heat transfer measurement technique, which is based on the one-dimensional solution of Fourier's heat conduction equation within a semi-infinite wall [3, 18–20] and can be used to the high-accuracy heat transfer measurements in complex cooling structures.
The local wall temperature can be measured by the TLC. The local heat transfer coefficients can be determined using the measured wall temperature and the solution of the one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation for a semi-infinite solid.
The one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation is The boundary conditions are where is the temperature, is the time, and , and are the solid wall thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat, respectively. Solving (2) with the boundary conditions, the dimensionless temperature at the convective boundary wall () is obtained as folows: Equation (4) is only valid for an ideal temperature step rise within the flow. However, in reality the thermocouples record a time-dependent variation of the mainstream temperature, which can be simulated by a series of small temperature step rise. By using Duhamel's superposition theorem, the solution for the heat transfer coefficient at every location is then represented as where is the airflow bulk temperature at one specific time , is the measured wall temperature by the time (indicated by the color change of the liquid crystals), and is the initial wall temperature. Solving (5) by an iteration method, the heat transfer coefficient can be determined. Since the TLC thermography can provide a full-field temperature data, therefore a full-field heat transfer coefficient data at the wall can be obtained.
3.2. Examples of the TLC Thermography for Heat Transfer Measurements
Pin fins and rib turbulators are the common heat transfer enhancement elements used in the gas turbine blade internal cooling channels, which produce strong turbulent flow in the cooling channels and significantly increase the convective heat transfer performance. Maurer et al. [15] studied the local heat transfer characteristics on the surface with V-shaped rib turbulators by combining the steady TLC thermography technique with the stainless steel foil heater. In their study, the local wall temperature data was obtained by the TLC thermography; a uniform heat flux condition was provided by the thin stainless steel foil heater (25 μm thickness). Based on the local wall temperature data and the local heat flux data, the local Nusselt number distribution on the surface with V-shaped ribs was given by [15] as is shown in Figure 10. The measurement uncertainty for the heat transfer coefficient is about 12.5%. In fact, in order to achieve a uniform distribution of the heat flux at the heating surface, the thickness of the film heater should be uniform and sufficiently small, so that the transverse heat conduction effects can be neglected.
In [16, 17], the authors showed the local heat transfer characteristics on the surface with pin fins and dimples, which were obtained by combining the steady TLC thermography technique with a three-dimensional CFD computation. Figure 11 shows the experimental schematic for the pin fin-dimple channel heat transfer measurement with the steady TLC thermography. The local temperature data on the heat transfer surface were obtained by the TLC thermography, and the local wall heat flux data were determined by the three-dimensional conjugate computation. An in situ calibration on the TLC thermography has been done before the heat transfer experiments, which indicates that the TLC has the highest temperature measurement accuracy within the temperature range of 41°C–45°C. Therefore, in the convective heat transfer experiments the wall temperature of the pin fin-dimple plate that was carefully controlled at about 43°C. Based on the obtained local wall temperature and heat flux data, the local Nusselt number distribution on the surface with pin fin-dimple combined structures was obtained as is shown in Figure 12. The uncertainty on the heat transfer coefficient measurement is about ±6.5%, and the temperature measurement uncertainty is about ±0.3°C.
Schüler et al. [20] obtained the local heat transfer characteristics on the wall with angled ribs by using the transient TLC thermography technique. In their study, the air flow was heated up to 50–60°C through a mesh heater, and then flowed over a Plexiglas plate with angled ribs, which has an initial temperature of 18°C. The narrowband TLC with the bandwidth of 1°C was sprayed on surface of the Plexiglas test plate, and the duration of the transient heat transfer measurement is 90–120s. Figure 13 shows the local Nusselt number field on the ribbed surface under turbulent flow condition. The measurement uncertainty of the Nusselt number is about ±8.0%, and the temperature measurement uncertainty is about ±0.2°C.
4. Conclusions
In the first part of the paper, a systematic introduction to the thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) and the liquid crystal thermography has been presented. Based on the literature review and our experiences in the use of the TLC for the heat transfer measurements, the liquid crystal thermography calibration procedures have been detailedly described, and the parameters, which can influence the TLC temperature measurement uncertainty, have been investigated. The study shows that the use of an image noise reduction technique, the TLC coating thickness, the lighting angle, and the coating quality can distinctively influence the TLC hue calibration and the temperature measurement uncertainty. In the second part of the paper, examples of the applications of the steady and transient liquid crystal thermography techniques to the turbulent convective heat transfer measurements have been introduced.

Dr Brian Sloan, Head of Business & Economic Policy at Greater Manchester Chamber, said: "There were some unexpected announcements that will benefit SMEs, particularly the reduction in business rates which will undoubtedly help some of the smallest businesses. A package of measures totalling £3.5 billion.
"We also welcome the Chancellor's announcement that RBS and Lloyds will have new targets for lending to businesses totalling £94 billion.
"The Chancellor's forecasts for 2010/11 remain optimistic and his spending plans lack clarity.
"The Chancellor wants the private sector recovery to create jobs. They could have done this more effectively by abolishing the 1% National Insurance Contribution increase."

Sarasota Ichiban
☯ Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Sarasota, FL
Sarasota Ichiban Restaurant offers great all-you-can-eat sushi for $23.50 and Ichiban is located just off South Tamiami Trail, a few blocks east on Stickney Point Road in a little strip mall.
Our appetizers of cooked teriyaki and tempura accompanies the all-you-can-eat sushi dinner. We also included a house salad. Our salad is a delicious combination of greens, tomatoes and vegetables with a ginger-style dressing, fresh and crisp. Along with salad, our entrees come with a cup of light miso soup. Our soup is light and simple, just as it ought to be as this is a Japanese staple made from bean paste.
The all-you-can-eat sushi entree provides a selection of over 50 styles of rolls and fillings, including octopus, tuna, Mexican roll, salmon skin hand roll, snapper, shrimp, squid and Pacific cobia.
We have a nice selection of beers, and we ordered cold bottles of Asahi, Kirin and Bud Light.

Mala Beads & Jewelry
Carolina Santos Read
Hi there!
I am loving mala beads right now. Not just because they are a trend (though that certainly is the case) but because as someone who practices meditation and yoga as well as going to a Buddhist meditation center regularly, they are part of my lifestyle and aesthetic. Another thing I love about Buddhism is that they are completely inclusive and any religion is welcome. It is more than religion, and the jewelry is beautiful.
The company I partnered with is Great Eastern Imports, out of Thailand. I was originally going to go to Thailand with Francisco in September but with the Thai King's passing the dance festival Francisco was going to be performing at was cancelled and we weren't able to go, since his schedule was filled up quickly with rehearsal instead and then the rest of their Asia tour (and my own shedule and travels proved difficult to rearrange). So in the end we still partnered with this great company but by mail instead.
The pieces above are all described in more detail in the captions so you can see what pieces specifically I, my friend Samantha, or Francisco are wearing if you want to purchase those items. I should mention they typically sell wholesale out of their website to other retailers but for individual purchases they have an Etsy shop too! They also have an array of other beautiful pieces so I encourage you to visit their site and look through.
With the holidays approaching, these make great gifts! I can't wait to wear some of these pieces with my party outfits either. They are not only beautiful but a great reminder to slow down and take time for yourself during this hectic holiday season.

Notions #1: food for thought
Is here! And you can make your own copy by following these simple steps:
1. Download/access the file.
The pdf is meant for printing out so the pages won't flow like an ebook.
Trees have been fallen for lesser reasons.
Asking you to print it is my way of sharing the joy of actually making a book with you. ;)
2. Print it out in black and white, A4. Print Settings: "Print on both sides of paper" and "flip on the short edge".
3. Fold the stack of print out in half (A5)
4. Put a rubber band around the spine.
5. Tadada! Read and enjoy!
Notions is also being printed for free distribution at interesting places* - see if you can spot them and pick them up!
(*e.g. the very interesting magazine rack at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, next to toast box, lift lobby.)
Thank you, contributors:
Kozue Yamamoto, Shirleen 卓詩翎, Jacqueline Sim, Jessie Lim, Tan Wen, Gary Low, Lynx D, ArtyFaz, Pang, Gayatri Pasricha, and Zhang Fuming.
"Opened" letter to contributors:
30 May 2016
Dear contributors to Notions,
Thank you for lending your work to the first issue of Notions. Sorry for the silence since your submission. Due to some delays here and there, I missed the window to work on the zine in March. I hadn't update you earlier as I had remained hopeful that it would be completed soon, and a month grew into two.
I'm pleased to inform you that the zine is ready for production! Slightly ahead of the promised deadline of June 2016!
I thought to share more about its intention so that you can tell/explain to your friends when you show them. If they ask.
The aim of Notions is to share ideas and get people thinking. This is especially so for its first issue, in sharing "food for thought", it features different artworks and writings about food, since food and eating is part of everybody's everyday lives and/or minds, it's a common point of entry to introduce different perspectives.
In Notions, submissions of emerging artists (based in Singapore) are juxtaposed with interpreted and extracted works of established foreign artists. Other than to highlight the relevance of our concerns, the intention here is to provoke snobbish people to reconsider the relevance of "international recognition", brand names, institutions, etc. In a way, it's like saying hey our ideas are as valid as ideas in the national galleries. In another way, it's quite fantastic to be featured in the same "show" as ai weiwei, isn't it? It's a statement about how local creators have something to offer to the world: our point-of-views, our "value-add" or inputs too. If I ever receive any complaints about misappropriating their works, I'll share the happy news with you, that our zine has caught their eye.
Now, this issue of branding and recognition puts our deliberately casual and indie form and content in perspective. For I see this zine as an extension of our childish and stubborn desire as creators and artists and writers to share interesting ideas that we're fortunate enough to conceive, and it is a celebration of precisely that. None of the contributors were promised remuneration, so everything is really done for fun and nothing much else. The super lo-fi (in truthful terms, cheapskate) form liberates us from complications of funding, worries about archival, and other trivialities. It's like a presentation of raw ideas in their sketchbook/journal form. Novel ideas on cheap paper and printing: a challenge to ostentatious presentations of mundane and overdone ideas.
Thus, I have made some copies of the work with my home printer, and I have passed out 2 of my homemade copies this afternoon. I meant to send out this email first but ah. Well.
You can access the work here: http://bit.ly/1WtpkNR and if not, then through the link here: http://www.meekfreak.com/notions/1/
To make your own copies, print it black and white on A4. Under printer properties, select print on both sides, flip on short edge. once it's out, fold the stack in half, strap a rubber band to the spine. Then woo, you have a copy of notions in your hands. If only we can hey presto a packet of potato chips this way too.
After deriving more copies, I'll likely leave them here and there. The usual arty places. If you have connections and can help talk to people to place Notions in their shops, I can pass you copies for that too. If you're going overseas, or at overseas, it'll be nice if you can put a few copies somewhere there too, if not at an arty place, then a coffee shop or something. I'll be grateful for photos of the zines with other readers or held next to the Louvre, and send it to me. I'll be grateful to hear what people think. Cheap thrill. Cheap but valid. Haha.
I've found a photocopier at peace centre that produces it at 85 cents per copy. That's $8.50 at 10 copies, or $42.50 for 50 copies. If you want me to help make copies for you let me know.
Otherwise the first place you can pick up free copies of the zine (starting tomorrow) is at the magazine rack next to toast box at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (50 Bencoolen Street). I'll be stationed there for the rest of this week. So email me if wanna have lunch.
Finally, a big thank you for participating in this publication. I had fun putting this issue together and hope you have fun looking through it too. Thanks for your feedback in one way or another. I will be cleaning up the submissions guideline etc, and though I don't know when I can do the next issue, feel free to respond and check out the open call to the next issue.
Notions - for interesting people, by interesting people. Thanks for being one.
call for submissions
Notions is an art compilation zine put together for creative people, who like to think, to share and learn new ideas. Each issue of Notions is a collection of novel/fresh/uncommon/original ideas based on a theme, to make a submission all you need is to turn in an A4 (or 2 A5 pages) artwork inspired by the content below, to be photocopied and put into our zine directly. Deadline: 14 Feb 2016. Sunday. Check back once a while in case there are updates.
Update: The submission is closed. thanks for your interest!
A good submission is one that tells the audience something. A very good submission is one that tells the audience something, making him/her think or realise something he/she hadn't known before.
