L'Eau de Vie Organic Brasserie, an organic, vegan restaurant and bar, has opened in Fells Point.
The restaurant, an offshoot of catering business Nourrie Cuisine, opened Sept. 12, according to owner Elena Johnson. The space used to be part of The Inn at The Black Olive.
The 3,700-square-foot space has a "relatively modern, minimal design" with decor in shades of blue and plenty of windows, Johnson said. The restaurant's name means "water of life" in French, she added.
The dining room seats 50, with a few seats at the chef's counter and another 10 at the marble bar. A private patio can seat 16.
L'Eau de Vie serves coffee and light breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Lunch, which primarily consists of salads, sandwiches and paninis, ranges from $9 to $12. (Johnson recommends the Seitan sausage, a wheat-based protein on a Reuben-style sandwich.) Dinner ranges from $10 to $15, and includes dishes such as Belgium-style crispy frites; and tofu persillade, which is a grilled tofu covered in a garlic and parsley sauce over quinoa pilaf.
L'Eau de Vie Organic Brasserie is located at 803 S. Caroline St., Fells Point. 443-759-8758 or facebook.com/OrganicBrasserie.

The Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry is to conduct elaborate studies on the further development of Sanur in Denpasar, Batur in Bangli regency and Menjangan in Buleleng regency, as the three national strategic areas for tourism in Bali.
The three areas are among a total of 16 tourism destinations nationwide that the ministry has categorized as national tourism strategic areas, which are prioritized for further development through 2014. Indonesia currently has around 88 tourism destinations, some of which have shown significant growth, while some others are developing slowly.
The ministry's director of destination planning and tourism investment, Lokot Ahmad Enda, said: âDespite possessing huge potential, some of these destinations have weak planning, infrastructure, facilities and promotional packaging. So, we need to encourage their development.â
By defining Sanur, Batur and Menjangan as national tourism strategic areas, the ministry intends to conduct more elaborate and detailed studies into each area to set up some kind of blueprint for their individual development, and then to assist in the development of their facilities, as well as human resources. The studies will be conducted next year for a period of one year.
Lokot acknowledged it was a long-term project that would last for 15 to 20 years. âWe choose to improve destinations that are already operating so that they can grow on the right track and serve as examples to be followed by others,â he said.
The Batur area, Lokot said, was one destination that faced stuttering development due to unfavorable conditions, including bad sanitation, beggars and unfriendly souvenir vendors. Lokot was of the opinion that the Lake Batur and Mount Batur area, which had recently been awarded global geopark status by UNESCO, needed plenty of improvement, which was why development planning for the next 20 years was required.
Menjangan, meanwhile, is a small tourism island in northern Bali that offers scenic undersea vistas. It has a temple and a number of fauna, including deer. Lokot pointed out that although tourists had begun visiting the island, transport and road access remained the main hurdles. At present, there is only one access road, the Denpasar-Gilimanuk route, which is prone to traffic accidents due to poor road conditions and is always full of container trucks.
Sanur, however, is a famous fishing village that has grown into an international tourism destination over the past decades. Sanur, which is well-known for its sunrise and white sandy beach, has already been developed and has rows of star-rated hotels and resorts. âWe at the ministry hope to understand what the community of Sanur want. Do they need more infrastructure, or eco-village development, or other development? That's why further study is needed.â
Previously, a highly respected figure of the Sanur community, Ida Bagus Gede Sidharta Putra, had said that by being included among the three strategic areas, Sanur would receive assistance from the ministry to solve and monitor a number of growing problems it was currently facing.
âDetailed planning for the development of Sanur over the years to come is urgently required. We, the Sanur community, hope that the âaura' of our village would be maintained, despite development,â he said.

We haven't reached the equator yet but in these first months of the year we have received more than enough works to create a really interesting list for any film lover. So let's look back, let's choose the best films from 2019 so far.
We ('Us')
Address : Jordan Peele.
Cast: Lupita Nyong'o, Elisabeth Moss, Winston Duke, Tim Heidecker, Anna Diop, Kara Hayward, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II…
After causing a sensation with 'Let me out', Peele returned with the inescapable expectation surrounding the second feature film, already judged with greater severity; one looks with a magnifying glass at the promising filmmaker who has just begun his career.
We' shows that the most inspired part of Peele's debut was not a question of luck, that he has a talent for telling stories and ideas to make them fresh and personal (despite the influences). Without a doubt, one of the most fun and exciting horror proposals of recent years.
Address : M. Night Shyamalan.
Cast: Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, Samuel L. Jackson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Spencer Treat Clark, Charlayne Woodard…
A new demonstration that superhero cinema can be something else, beyond the spectacular comic adaptations of Marvel and DC. Which are very good, but lack the originality and freedom of works like 'El protegido' ('Unbreakable') or 'Múltiple' ('Split').
Parts of the trilogy that closes 'Glass'. It is a beautiful and raw film, by a creator who loves his characters but seeks to surprise and disturb his audience, to the last consequences. One of those that you want to have in your collection, to be able to rediscover his characters.
The Favourite' ('The Favourite')
Address: Yorgos Lanthimos.
Cast: Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn, Mark Gatiss, James Smith…
The author of 'Canino' may have been somewhat domesticated to reach a wider audience; proof of this is that his latest work received ten Oscar nominations (he only won one, for best lead actress).
However, his cinema is still strong, he knows how to catch our attention, and he has not neglected that twisted sense of humour with which he portrays the absurd order of society and human miseries, giving rise to unexpected hilarious moments. He is still an unpredictable creator, and that's wonderful.
The House That Jack Built
Address Lars von Trier. Cast: Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Sofie Gråbøl, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Riley Keough, Jeremy Davies…And speaking of creators with a twisted sense of humour, our favourite Danish director returned with one of the craziest, most controversial and fascinating films to hit theatres in recent years.A very personal work, which only Von Trier could have signed, and which requires from the viewer a total surrender; including the will to laugh at everything, no matter how violent or disturbing it may seem to the naked eye.
Alita, Angel of Combat' ('Alita: Battle Angel')
Address : Robert Rodriguez.
Cast: Rosa Salazar, Ed Skrein, Eiza González, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Connelly, Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali…
One of the surprises of the year. Of course I expected a great show of action and visual effects, however, what captivated me about this superproduction was not the amazing technical section but the sensitivity and love with which the journey of his heroine is captured.
That said, I think it's a more enjoyable experience in 3D, it really immerses you in the world and adventure, as few films have achieved so far (it can't be a coincidence that James Cameron is involved).
Address: Mamoru Hosoda.
With works like 'La chica que saltaba a través del tiempo' or 'El niño y la bestia', Hosoda has consolidated himself as one of the most imaginative and interesting authors of animated cinema, and with 'Mirai' he offers us what is possibly his most mature work to date.
Starting with the birth of a child, we witness the unfolding of a fantastic journey to meet several generations of the family, allowing the filmmaker to touch eternal themes through the naive gaze of a child. Most beautiful and amusing, an adventure for all audiences (really, not for children who can see adults) that invites reflection.
The Sisters Brothers
Address : Jacques Audiard.
Cast: John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed, Rutger Hauer…
Western is still alive in the 21st century thanks to authors who still find inspiration in a genre that keeps reinventing itself. Audiard imprints his European vision on a story of murderers and gold diggers, of four men facing the opportunity to flee from their fate.
Four actors in a state of grace lead this peculiar, beautiful and raw drama that plays with expectations and clichés to show the most human face of the gunman of the wild west.
Address : Ari Aster.
Cast: Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgren…
One of the most surprising, stimulating and fun films of the year. Yes, fun, because despite being sold as a horror film, the truth is that Aster's new is a personal cocktail that plays with elements of terror but where there are moments of comedy and drama, as well as a reflection on the couple.
It is confirmed that 'Hereditary' was not an accident. The only "but" that 'Midsommar' can be put on is its excessive 147 minutes; that said, I'm looking forward to discovering what's in that three-hour extended version (perhaps small details that help digest the footage with more pleasure).
The days to come
Address : Carlos Marqués-Marcet.
Cast: María Rodríguez Soto, David Verdaguer, Albert Prat, Sergi Torrecilla…
The director of '10,000 Km' and 'Tierra firme' continues to be interested in reflecting on the conflicts that arise in a couple, now due to an accidental pregnancy, and how the experiences and reflections of each individual threaten to break the bond.
It is not only one of the most authentic, sensitive and best interpreted films of 2019 (memorable Rodríguez Soto, really pregnant during part of the shooting, precisely, of Verdaguer, her partner also behind the cameras) but also provides interesting ideas and reflections for which the film accompanies you beyond the immediate viewing in the armchair.
Largo viaje hacia la noche' (Long Journey into the Night)
Address: Bi Gan.
Cast: Tang Wei, Sylvia Chang, Meng Li, Huang Jue, Chen Yongzhong…
One of the most fascinating films premiered this year in Spanish theatres is this poetic romantic drama noir that has a striking peculiarity: the last act is filmed to be seen in 3D. The experience is surprising and captivating.
Far from the conventional narrative, I advise you to let yourself be carried away by the elegant staging and the talent of Bi Gan to create deep, ingenious and beautiful images. It may be slow, it may not count for much, but its impact remains.

Connelly Partners' President and Copywriter Steve Connelly believes that working from home kills agency culture. However, he also tells employees, "If you don't have a life outside of the office, you are useless to me."
These are two of Connelly's "strands of DNA," which he tells Campaign US is a "blend of pragmatism and some basic human tribal beliefs I have that help us yield good work."
He explained that no one can be creative 24 or 12 hours a day and he doesn't expect staffers to work very long hours, but he does want them to be focused when they're in the office.
"I have kids in their 20s and I certainly hear a lot about liberal work from home policies and I think that's fine if you're into productivity and staying connected, but if your focus and priority is culture, which mine is, then you have to be in the office, you have to talk to people and feel the energy around you," he said.
But this doesn't mean the agency doesn't believe in work-life balance. Connelly said that if a staffer needs to work from home because he or she needs a mental health day or has a sick child, he's totally fine with that. Plus, the shop offers unlimited vacation days.
"What you need to do to take time to refresh and stay charged and bring new experiences into the office you should do, but I'm not saying that I'll pay for three days and then have you work from home on the fourth and fifth day. That's not culturally beneficial," he said.
Mothers who want or need to work from home are on a case-by-case basis. Connelly said he wants to make sure he stays connected with working moms and gets them back in the workplace, but he says if you're in a leadership position, "You can't lead by phone - you need to lead by example."
He said he'd rather have a working mother tap into a truncated schedule in which she comes in earlier and leaves earlier than have her work from home.
Connelly also strongly believes in having a life outside of the office. "The more successful you become in this business, the more you're taken away from what made you successful - the everyday things and people," he said.
He added:" If you're job is to tell so a wide range of people, you better be able to observe a wide range of lives. Go learn, live and find, and sometimes you suck up experiences without even knowing it."
The agency's culture is "familial" and "imperfect like most families, but with a lot of honest inside," according to Connelly. The shop was built around a living room, kitchen table and bar because those rooms are often where the best conversations take place. "It's a very educated treehouse," said Connelly.
For agencies looking to figure out or build their own cultures, Connelly has some advice: "Please understand that culture is organic If you're going to commit to culture, understand that you are the dirt, not the seed or plant, and your job is to provide the best growing environment."

Even if you're looking at the ground while you walk — not a terrible idea here in the Mission — you're probably not going to see it. Somehow, a black-and-white sign as striking as dazzle camouflage and a flight of stairs descending into a compact underground vault goes unnoticed, unless you're specifically looking for it. And then you can't not see it.
Well, good. That's the idea.
"We kind of rely on being hidden," says David Kasprzak, 35, one of the denizens of this subterranean lair at 23rd and Capp. "That's why we're able to survive here without the rent getting crazy." Adds his business partner, Luca Antonucci, 34, "Because we're so physically well-hidden, we're not the kind of space that's ideal for other companies."
What you'll discover if you wander down these steps is a space so esoteric it's hard to imagine you haven't transported yourself many miles from the heart of the Mission to a realm of cheap rent, working artists, and blue-collar printers — or somehow traveled backwards in time when these things could be found here.
Kasprzak and Antonucci are the proprietors of Colpa, a design shop (they did branding work for Trick Dog and Al's Place) and book and poster printer (the San Francisco Art Book Fair, which Kasprzak and Antonucci co-founded, will run Friday to Sunday). This 1,000-square foot space is also a collective studio for up to eight artists at a time — and it's the repository of more than 3,000 VHS tapes, which have been deposited here by well-wishers like coins in a fountain.
A few meters away from Kasprzak and Antonucci's workstations, intern Louise Chevallet uses Wite-Out to conceal blemishes in posters created by the risograph printer, which she subsequently hand-numbers (1/100, 2/100, and so on). The risograph itself rests in a well-lit corner and takes up about as much space as a dishwasher. It hails from 1991, and it's still here.
Prior inhabitants of this basement melted a necktie and adhered it to the front door. Nobody knows why. It's still here too.
Carlos Gonzalez was born in the Mission in 1959 in an era when it was a newly minted Latino neighborhood. This was a realm of mom-n-pop shops; nobody had to coin terms like "neighborhood-serving business" because every business was a neighborhood-serving business. What else could there be?
Everything was small and local and specific to its neighborhood — everything. "Every neighborhood had its own clique," recalls Gonzalez. "Back then we didn't call them gangs. But we behaved like gangs: Dolores Park was known as the Bridge Boys. Precita Park. The Folsom Park Locos." The latter was Gonzalez's clique.
Gonzalez never saw an art collective in a basement. But he saw plenty of basements: "We'd hang out in basements. We'd congregate and then go out and do our thing." And what, pray tell, would that be? "Fighting. Rumbles. Selling drugs. Wreaking havoc."
"I was at the tail end of rumbles," he continues. "In my day, we fought over neighborhood pride. Maybe there was a beef here or there. Or, over drugs, somebody got burned. Today, it's a more organized thing. We thought guys who used guns were punks. They didn't know how to fight. But now, it's the complete opposite."
The young Folsom Park Loco became a muralist — which he still is — and spent 25 years as a juvenile probation officer. He knew the terrain. He knew what was going on on the streets, in the buildings and, of course, underground.
And then the terrain changed.
Spaces, says Jesse Drew, "would come and go." A goodly percentage of the storefronts on Valencia were vacant, "and all of them had basements." There'd be literal trap doors into the underground, dudes selling beer, punk music, and no overpriced real estate or Ghost Ship-like tragedies to bring about anyone who'd stop the music.
There was the "Gartland Pit," a hotel that burned in 1975, killing 14, and was left vacant for years. "People did shows there all the time," recalls Drew, a labor organizer-turned-artist who arrived in the Mission as a teenage runaway in 1971. "It was everything from graffiti exhibitions to musical performances." There were punk shows at The Farm, at Army and Potrero Streets, "the most violent nightclub of the '80s," which was within shrapnel distance of Survival Research Laboratories, which specializes in robotics, pyrotechnics and flames.
"Most of the arts stuff was underground," Drew recalls. "Legitimate art stuff was in North Beach; we never thought it would make it into the Mission. Most of the artists were young with no money. The stakes weren't that high. You could do shit and not worry about getting sued or whatever, and the places were cheap and the neighborhood was welcoming."
Well, that's gone. Kasprzak and Antonucci are thrilled to have a basement hideout that floods when it rains; they work a number of ancillary jobs to keep rent paid, including branding work and teaching gigs. Money made elsewhere gets reinvested here — and at a three-month-old bookstore at 716 Sacramento Street for their own publications and works from small presses that don't usually distribute. The bookstore is new enough that, on Google Street View, you can actually see Kasprzak and Antonucci through the front window, unpacking boxes and setting the place up.
And, in the past few years, several galleries have opened here in the Mission, a stone's throw from this underground site. More may come. And this is uplifting and validating for Kasprzak and Antonucci, but also economically beneficial: Their design and print shop serves the same purpose for artists and galleries that a dry goods store did for a prospector. "It is helpful," confirms Kasprzak, "in a cyclical way."
Echoing Drew, he notes that San Francisco became a magnet for creative types because "this place was weird and experimental, and you could afford to take a risk and fail here." But now you can't afford to do much.
Things change. But this thing hasn't: There's a world going on underground.

Really neat post. I was starting to really get into this in the late 80s. If I may, where on the old Miss did you run? Wish I had been there. Great story. Thanks. We first raced from Greenville, Miss. down to Vicksberg and back for one lap of appr. 250 miles and refuel for one more lap. Problem was that all the people back in Greenville were getting board. The local radio station`s gave regular updates of boat possition`s (via ham radio opperator`s in boat`s sitting in the river or airplane`s flying above) but the fan`s and team member`s in the pitt`s wanted to see more so sometime around 1986 the race course was shortened halfway and we made 4 lap`s of 125 mile`s. This worked well for a couple of year`s so the thinking was that if 4 lap`s are good then 8 lap`s would be better so the course was cut in half again and that`s where it stayed untill they stopped having the event. I looked forward to going to Greenville every year to try my endurance in the Brent 500 and the best I ever did was 2nd. Sorry for the long post Bobby Sanders
Man that look`s great. Very impressive. I tested one of the origanial one`s back in the late 80`s on the Mississippi river the day before the Jessi Brent memorial 500 mile race and put it through some real bad stuff. I was as hard on it as I could be (at the owner`s request) and It did great. It was just a few mph`s of the 380 Laser`s and a lil more off the Allison`s but handled better than both. I allway`s wished that they had gone into production. I would love to run one in the Parker 300. Now all I have to do is rob a bank. Bobby Sanders

Shelley, this is a lovely idea! I'm looking forward to see what people will "throw in".ReplyDelete
I like your approach of bringing creative folks of all kind together. It's the same with your underwater party - and it's so important to do so!
Oh, and I forget:ReplyDelete
the book is beautiful! I keep browsing through its pages, and it carries the atmosphere of Halfland perfectly.
Will you do a complete documentation afterwards as well? I remember the idea of a storybook, is this right? I was thinking of a book documentation for the Orpheus film project as well... It would be nice to have it all together...
Thanks, Jessica! Good luck with your first Studio Monday in Germany!ReplyDelete
YES! I hope there will be books galore later. Nice quality, more thought through and curated. This one is really just a rough collection on the spot because it was so easy and inexpensive to make. This way I'll have little booklets of the work in progress as hardcopy. Which is nice because so much of the 1/2L documentation is currently only online.
Also, yes! definitely planning Halfland illustrated story books as well. The bug Cafe will likely be first... :) Later on though. Got to get filming well underway first.
The book looks amazing!! I bought myself a copy... and I added the extra image you had loaded onto the last (blank) page, though it looks like they added a 41¢ charge on for that. Strange though... they kept showing me warnings that certain pages have "images that won't print well, spelling errors or text that won't show up". They didn't seem to be able to elaborate any better than that. I guess when it comes in I'll see what they meant.ReplyDelete
And now you've got me wanting to make a book myself.
... You're just so INSPIRING!!!
Mikeee, you dear! I'm so happy you wanted one! The last image should be one the back cover, so we'll see what they make of the order for an extra page, not sure what you'll get.ReplyDelete
The printing error warnings may be because of low resolution in a couple images. I scrambled through all the archives here super quickly trying to grab all the characters I could think of. It's a fast compilation but still----HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! HA!
The spelling error alerts are likely the wild character names. It's a pretty crude book layout software they use. But it is so bloody fast and cheap. NOTE: they can access your FLICKR stream for the uploads. Can you imagine?! You just grab the images you want in your book and GOGOGO!
I haven't tried Blurb.com yet but they look a bit more coffee table quality/style, when you want that. I've used Viovio.com in the past and it's nice to have a magazine-like soft cover of each project, or even for aspects of each project, to show people and to give as gifts.
Viovio actually prints magazines for you at great low prices too--one at a time--no overhead. You can even sell them [hint hint for yours!] at a modest profit through their site. Darkstrider Technique Magazine....hmmmmm....
And books, YES!!!! loads of DS books!!!!
That is the most interesting online challenge ever! ;)ReplyDelete
No way! Seriously, Bitterbetty!? I hadn't heard any response and thought I'd chosen the wrong question for the contest! We'll see!ReplyDelete
xoxoxoxo, Your fan

The art for this thing looks wonderful. You're writing books now too? I could use your expertise when it comes to marketing my film. If you wanted to charge or do some sort of trade-off, either way. It would be valuable to me.ReplyDelete
Hi Don, I do indeed plan to write books, on Halfland and on other stories and to self-publish. Not with Shutterfly though. Shutterfly is good just for a quickie record, easy, no big time spent, as I go along kind of deal.ReplyDelete
Just got my copy of the above book yesterday and the printing looks great.
You are doing great on your project. I'd be happy to talk to you about marketing it when you've got it all ready to go. There is seriously no limit to what can be done today.

Since last Monday, all over the United States, and the world afar, protests have been popping up in-regards to the St. Louis County's grand jury decision to uphold Officer Darren Wilson to murder charges—or any charges at all—in the killing of teenager Michael Brown.
Since the decision was announced people from various backgrounds have come together to denounce the injustice. And in New York City a group of Black, Latino, and Asian council members decided to take part in standing up for justice for all people of color.
With their hands held up, as if to demonstrate an un violent demeanor—a symbol that's been connected to Mike Brown and other people of color when they come across law enforcement, a group of New York City Council Members, including the entire executive committee of the caucus, decided to walk out of the Council Chamber to the City Hall Rotunda during a stated meeting in order to protest against the grand jury's decision and to demonstrate the importance of how their voices must be heard when it comes to issues that plague Black, Latino, Asian, and other racial communities.
The walkout was to call attention to the discrimination racial groups' face when it comes to both legislative and political processes within this country; the demonstration's aim was to also show how the everyday functions of public life are impacted when ALL voices who are meant to represent these communities are not heard when trying to expose such prejudice.
"The sub-text of this entire walkout was to show the importance of black lives in the legislative process, and political process, to call attention to the injustice of yesterday's grand jury decision and other incidents where black lives have been lost to police officers," said Councilmember Robert Cornegy of Brooklyn, who took part in the walkout. "So much of what we take for granted would cease to function if we are not present, if we are not participating."
The dozen or so members who walked out were led by caucus co-chairs Andy L. King of the Bronx and Rosie Mendez of New York; the pair led a group of Black, Latino, and Asian city council members Inez Barron, Margaret Chen, Laurie Cumbo, Carlos Manchaca, Daneek Miller, Antonio Reynoso, and Ruben Wills.
Once out of the chamber, council members read a statement they had written in English, Mandarin-Chinese, and Spanish in hopes of getting the purpose of the walkout heard by all:
"We stand here today as members of the New York City Council—representatives of our majority minority city — to proclaim in solidarity that Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! in Ferguson, Missouri. Black Lives Matter in the stairwells of our NYCHA communities. Black Lives Matter on the streets of Staten Island. And Black Lives Matter in this Chamber.
In the most progressive city in America, in a body with 26 members of color, we refuse to move forward with business as usual today. Not when Michael Brown's parents will never taste real justice through the criminal justice system. Not when young people are putting their bodies on the line, marching in the streets to be met with tear gas, smoke bombs and shields. There is no American tradition more patriotic than protest. And THAT is why we're walking out today.
The Black story and the American story are inextricably linked. Take us out and things don't run. This body does not run. So today, let it all stop. More than a moment of silence, let us have this time of outrage. And let our action inspire others – in your homes, businesses, churches & communities — to proclaim & demonstrate your belief in the value of black life. We stand together because we stand united. Our voices and our lives matter."
While the protest and speech may seem geared towards one particular racial group in the country, it is not. Much like the days during the Civil Rights Movement back in the 60s where Black-Americans fought against many injustices in order to find fairness, other racial political groups like the Chicano & Asian Civil Rights movement were inspired from and aided each other in striving to obtain civil rights for all.
Tuesday's walkout held by the NYC council member is a reminder to the one thing we've forgotten from those who fought for our rights long ago: Together we should stand united because our lives do matter and in unison our voices can make it known.

Parents create mindfulness room at Letchworth school
PUBLISHED: 09:57 15 January 2019
©2019 Archant
Parents have come together to create a mindfulness room at a Letchworth school which will provide a quiet and calming space for children.
Garden City Academy's new 'Zen Den' was waiting for students on their return to school after the festive break.
The idea came from a suggestion at a PTA meeting, and was quickly organised by parents Jemma and Martyn Schofield.
Martyn said: "The build went really well. We were blessed with the good weather and all the volunteers had a task and completed it perfectly.
"Every person's efforts led to the success of this build.
"The story behind the project came from a PTA meeting. In the meeting the idea of a mindfulness room was suggested by the school. My wife Jemma had a 'ping' moment the minute she heard of the idea, and decided this is something we had to be involved in – and I agreed."
Martyn and Jemma decided to fund three quarters of the project from their company, Grace Improvements Ltd, and the PTA would raise the rest.
"We wanted to do this as a way of giving back to the school, as Garden City Academy has been and continues to work so hard to better the life and education of our children," said Martyn.
"The room will give children the time to care for their mindfulness. It will give them a moment out during the stressful school day to read, draw or think.
"In turn, this will improve their performance at school and their understanding of life matters and how to deal with them."
Headteacher Jenny Redgrove told the Comet: "We are delighted as a school to have received the support of Grace Improvements, the PTA, parents and the local community to fund and build our new Zen Den.
"This is a fantastic resource for our children to access a calm space during their school day and is supportive of their mental health and wellbeing.
"We have adopted a whole-school approach to mindfulness and are currently involved with the Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living in training our staff members around approaches to mindfulness and howw we can support children emotionally and mentally in school.
"The community spirit and support around this project has been overwhelming and, on behalf of the school, I would like to thank every single person who has contributed to the project."

Christ Church Sermons from October 2018
Be God's instrument of healing in this world
In a world in need of healing, we can start with ourselves but ultimately our healing depends on helping others be healed. God calls us to bring ourselves to Jesus for healing and to reach out to those on the margins, in grief, in pain, or with other needs, to bring them to Jesus for healing as well.
How God Answers the Unanswerable
In the Old Testament story of Job, God responds to the perennial question – why do the good and faithful suffer? Perhaps it is not the response, but that God responds that is the answer.
The Stumbling Block of Wealth
When Jesus encounters the rich man yearning for eternal life, he sees a man whose wealth has blinded him to looking beyond himself. Jesus invites us to live another way.
Jesus' Intentions for Significant Relationships
Jesus' teachings on divorce and remarriage can seem harsh. How do we hear Jesus' intentions for our most significant relationships?

I'm excited to say that Bella and I will have information in an article in the Minneapolis Star/Tribune tomorrow, Sunday May 15. I saw a tweet asking for stories about people who use their dogs as part of their fitness plan. I fit right into that category. (I should say we…) If I can I'll add a link tomorrow to the story. I have to go out and buy a newspaper tomorrow to see it. Here is the email I sent to the writer.
I saw on twitter that you were looking for people who use their dog as part of their fitness plan. I do that.
My dog, Bella, is what keeps me active. She is a wonderful walking companion and makes sure I get out almost everyday to get her her exercise. My exercise has become more important. I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia in October of 2007. Since then, the doctor has been trying to get my disease under control and find ways to get me to feel like I have enough energy to go back to work. My dog has been a big part of my recovery.
We have been walking 60 minutes a day. That is what is ordered by my doctor. Bella really loves our walks and knows that we are going when I put my sunscreen, long sleeve shirt and floppy hat on. Having someone so excited to go for a walk helps me to get excited for it as well. We walk along our country road. On one side is the Wild Life Refuge so there are plenty of animal smells to keep Bella busy. We love to listen to the wild life and hear the sounds of nature. Bella has swam after ducks and geese, heard trumpeter Swans, chased frogs and snakes, and dug for gophers. Everyday it's something new and that keeps the walk exciting for me too.
Bella does get annoyed when I stop to pick up agates from the gravel, but she soon gets over it with a swim. I think nature and walking has a great healing ability and I'm glad I'm well enough to enjoy our daily outings. I know I don't look fit right now, this is due to kidney problems and steroids, but I hope that it will pay off one of these days.
I hope this helps with your story.
Yep, I'm one excited dog owner. Bella has done wonders for me. She's always there with a kiss when I'm having a bad day. She'll curl up on the couch or in bed with me when I'm to weak to do anything. She just knows how I'm feeling. I don't know how because I don't say anything differently to her, she just knows.
I think that if I didn't have her, there would be days when I just wouldn't get out of bed. If that happened, I wouldn't be taking my medication either. There are plenty of times that I've wondered if it was all worth it, and during those times, Bella has always brought me back. How could you look into her big brown eyes and not feel loved?
The whole exercise thing was brought back on by my doctor. I have gained a bunch of weight again because of the steroids and not feeling well and it's made my blood pressure go back up. It's not a good combination with my kidneys. My doctor challenged me to walk 2 times a day for 30 minutes. (I do that sometimes, but other times I walk 60 minutes.)
I was thinking, "what the hell? I'm sick and tired and in pain. How can I get out and walk twice a day?"
Then I tried it. I didn't go far with Bella on our first walk. Not even to the end of our road and back. I did notice a difference. My joints felt better and I seemed to be in a better mood. I guess that those were things my doctor said would happen. There is a whole list of benefits: increase strength, weight control, heart health, prevent osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, decrease stress, decrease depression, improved self-esteem, and better sleep.
I have missed some days because I felt worse than my normal bad, but as soon as I feel better I get back on it. Every one has those days, even the most dedicated athlete. Those athletes have a coach to get them moving. I have a dog, looking at me with those big brown eyes, bagging me to take her outside for a romp around the neighborhood.
Yep, walking has been a good experience for me. I just wish it would make a difference in my weight quicker. I know it's not my fault, but being this size bothers me. I hope that I'll be off the steroids in a month or so and the weight will disappear quickly again and maybe I'll even go swimming with Bella then!

Leviticus 25:1- 27:34
Jeremiah 16:19- 17:14
We round a corner this Shabbat, as we conclude the book of Leviticus with its last two linked portions: Behar and Bechukotai.
Behar opens with the laws that the Israelite people must adhere to concerning sabbatical and jubilee years for the land. When the laws of Shabbat were first presented, it was made clear that the seventh day was to be a time of complete rest for everyone, whether the most prominent or the most humble community member. Here that same concept is extended: We learn that the environment the people will inhabit also needs a chance to lie fallow so that it can go on giving.
As with any idyllic vision, there is a complicating factor or two. Later Torah commentators, even as they stressed the ecological and spiritual benefits of these sabbatical years, were concerned about how poor people could get through them without working their land. The need to sustain the earth and the need to sustain its inhabitants are equally urgent obligations. Behar is about both needs. It moves from Divine assurance that there will be abundance during the sixth year, providing enough to eat in the seventh, to concrete commandments specifying how human beings must take responsibility for each other. Behar allows us to look at these issues in a way that does not force us to choose between doing right in one realm or right in another.
The companion portion to Behar takes us into somewhat different territory. Bechukotai opens with a litany of blessings that the Israelite people will enjoy once they make their final crossing into Canaan. If you follow my laws, God promises, prosperity will be yours. The rains will fall for you in their proper season. Your vineyards will overflow and you will eat your fill. In addition, the Israelites are told "you shall lie down untroubled by anyone" (Leviticus 26:6).
If they spurn God's laws, however — if they forget who they are supposed to be and the path they are supposed to walk — the consequences will be disastrous. Wild beasts will attack their families and cattle, and their farmland and vineyards will wither and die. The relationship is excruciatingly clear: Do the right things — God will help you then. Stray from that path — God help you then!
At best, the notion that good deeds are always rewarded and wicked ones always punished is a fantasy, offering the illusion of more control over our lives and this world than we actually have. At worst, it is a punishing invitation to blame ourselves for the times we experience struggles we could not possibly have caused. "If good things happen to good people," we reflexively wonder, "what does the fact that I am suffering say about me?"
In the words of Rabbi Na'amah Kelman: "Of course we know just how unfair life is. Every day, we witness evil and despair. We cry out against our personal and communal injustices. In this global village we now partake in every crisis, disaster, and never-ending images of inhumanity. We also witness beauty, and great acts of love, compassion, and heroism, miraculously defying of our imagination. In this great pendulum, what are we as individuals supposed to do to make a difference, to forge meaningful lives?"
That is a question for the ages. Jewish learning and teaching is predicated on the notion that questioning is a good and sustaining thing. But it can be endlessly painful when our questions fail to break out of reward-and-punishment theology and fall into a cycle of simplistic thinking and self-blame.
The Torah is talking to all of us in both portions — emphasizing that when we do our best to live lives of value, we open the door for more good possibilities to follow. Our actions have the potential to help others — whether in ways we know about at the time or in ways we may never know. When we forget that our choices matter —when we allow our behavior to sink to the lowest common denominator, whether or not we are "punished" in any of the colorful ways the Torah describes — we are betraying our potential to become better. In doing so, we are opening a different kind of door, one that takes us to a place where these behaviors become more and more acceptable to us. We risk alienating ourselves from the notions of communal welfare and collective responsibility that Behar and Bechukotai are all about.
May we all find an opening this Shabbat, to see the vision of Behar, and the blessings and curses of Bechukotai, not as an exact formula for what our lives will hold, but as a reminder of the power of our choices, and the significance of community. May we find readings that are inspiring and forgiving. We have never needed them more.

A RECORD number of West Australians have been forced into bankruptcy or had to strike debt deals with creditors in a sign of the continuing tough situation facing the State.
New figures from the Australian Financial Security Authority revealed a spike in bankruptcies across WA in the three months to the end of March.
During the quarter, 545 bankruptcies were recorded across the State. It was the largest number of bankruptcies since 2003 and was 16 per cent up on the same time last year.
Bankruptcies were generally steady elsewhere in the country bar NSW where they lifted for the third consecutive quarter.
Taking in Part IX and Part X debt agreements, which allow people to restructure their debts, a record 1020 West Australians struck financial trouble in the period.
The figures date back to 1987 and take in the early part of this year when a string of building companies ran into financial difficulty.
About 13 per cent of all insolvencies or bankruptcies are now in WA.
While WA and NSW are showing increases in total bankruptcy activity, the authority noted a slight fall in national numbers driven largely by a sharp fall in personal insolvency agreements.

Written by Sharon on February 05, 2017
Mama Rosy's is an Italian restaurant located on the southern end of King Street in Newtown. This strip is famous for its ecclectic cafes, quirky boutiques, vintage wares and antique stores. I am happy to visit a place like this anytime, especially when there's food involved!
When I arrived at Mama Rosy's the first thing I noticed was the big tiled woodfired pizza oven which gives the place an energetic atmosphere. The furnishings are rustic, but colourful throws, Italian murals, chandeliers and floral displays add a bohemian edge to the decor.
I shared a table with two other food lovers from the blogging world, Brendon (Brendon the Smiling Chef) and Jacki (Does My Bomb Look Big In This). We chatted over four courses of generous Italian share plates, and a couple of glasses of soft Italian wine in the restaurant's cosy courtyard. First up was the Antipasto Platter.
The Italian colours of green, red and white ruled this loaded board of juicy olives, savoury prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, arancini, calamari, and bruschetta. I could have easily enjoyed this platter as a meal on its own because there was so much food!
The pasta dish was Spaghetti con le Sarde, a true seaside combination of sardines and raisins. This was my first time eating fresh sardines and I admit, it's a flavour that I didn't expect to enjoy, but I did. The delicate sweet raisins complimented both the tomato infused pasta and the salty flavour of the sardines. The presentation was bold with a single fried sardine smiling up at us from the top of a generous pile of spaghetti.
Next up was the always popular wood fired pizza. At half a metre long with a true Italian base and draping with prosciutto, this was just as impressive to look at as it was to eat. Facebook reviews indicate that Mama Rosy's pizza is fast becoming a local favourite, and it's easy to see why.
Finally, the piece de resistance, the dessert board. This dish featured three iconic Italian temptations: A light and fudgy flourless chocolate cake, a decadent lemon panna cotta and my personal favourite, tiramisu (which I couldn't stop eating despite feeling very full).
Mama Rosy's tiramisu is rich and indulgent from a triple shot of espresso and sweet layer of creamy mascarpone custard. To top it off, it is generously drizzled in chocolate and topped with fresh strawberries. While each one of these desserts would have been a treat on their own, being able to taste them all was pure opulence.
Mama Rosy's is owned and operated by a young Italian family team. Executive chef Cristian takes care of the general menu, his cousin John is the woodfired pizza chef. The restaurant is named after Cristian's mother who passed on her skills and passion for cooking to this younger generation. Together they keep Italian traditions alive by making everything from scratch using the recipes, and as many ingredients as possible from their home country.
Mama Rosy's is a vibrant addition to the cultural mix of restaurants on Newtown's King Street . I found the service was both thoughtful and friendly. If you are looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, put Mama Rosy's on your list.

Former Shock Trauma anesthesia chief talks patriotism
Dr. William Bernhard serves numerous tours in armed services
Dr. William Bernhard is a true patriot. He learned from his father that serving his country is an honor.
"So I became chief of anesthesia over there during Desert Storm," Bernhard said.

Bernhard began serving his country during the Korean War and has continued his service in Honduras, Korea, Canada, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. He spoke about what his service meant to him.
"To have the opportunity, to have the privilege, to have the honor of taking care of our finest," Bernhard said.
Bernhard was head of anesthesia at Shock Trauma. He retired many times from the military, but was called back.
Bernhard's den is lined with photos, medals and plaques.
"This is my discharge from the U.S. Navy, active duty 1963. This is my discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1951. This is finally one of my retirements from the U.S. Army and I have five of them," Bernhard said.
At 79 years old, he was the oldest soldier to serve in combat. Bernhard said his father, who gave up a successful medical practice to serve in World War II, was his role mode.
"In 1942, my dad gives up his medical practice, joins the Army Air Corps, becomes a flight surgeon," Bernhard said. "He taught me patriotism."
Bernhard's den is a personal history of his service to his country. So how did he survive all those combat deployments?
"My survival is dependent on a lot of luck, but also I thought about it. Before I do something, I think and sometimes that can be survival," Bernhard said.
After all the years of service and sacrifice, why did he do it?
"John F. Kennedy said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.' And I've always carried that and carried my dad's memory and felt that I really have an obligation to do for my country," Bernhard said.
In a few days, Col. Dr. William Bernhard will be 84 years old. He said if he is called up again, as always, he won't even think about it. He will go.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy used to create subconscious change in a client to promote new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings. It is guided by Dr. Z with a client in state of hypnosis. Clinical hypnotherapy
can produce lasting changes, reduce symptoms, help eliminate bad habits, and generally improve functioning and reduce distress. It is a well-documented treatment for a variety of medical, psychiatric and psychological conditions.
Do not confuse clinical hypnotherapy with the entertaining performance of a stage hypnotist!
What problems, conditions, or symptoms can clinical hypnotherapy help control?
Sleep Disorders
Hypertension & High Blood Pressure
Anxiety Disorders
Enuresis & Encopresis (bed-wetting & soiling)
Eating Disorders
Self-Image & Self-Efficacy
Dermatological (Skin) Disorders
Nausea and Vomiting (particularly when associated with chemotherapy and pregnancy)

To make an appointment with Dr. Z for clinical hypnotherapy, call (678) 554-5632 or click the blue button to request an appointment using the online form. Dr. Z will evaluate your symptoms and recommend clinical hypnotherapy, if it
is an appropriate treatment for your condition.
What does hypnosis do to a person?
A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual behavior characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably heightened suggestibility and responsiveness.
What happens during a clinical hypnotherapy session?
During clinical hypnotherapy, a person is brought to a state of heightened focus and concentration. The person will concentrate intensely on a specific thought or memory, while blocking out sources of distraction. Hypnotized subjects are said to show an increased response to suggestions by the therapist.
How is clinical hypnosis produced in a person?
Clinical hypnosis is usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestions by the therapist.
How does clinical hypnotherapy promote change?Clinical hypnotherapy promotes change by:
Engaging the emotional brain
Engaging the subconscious
Utilizing the energetic intelligence of the heart, the gut, and of the entire body
Transcending time and person (transpersonal experience)
Engaging a different portion of the brain that previously was not part of the original wiring together process (insight, humor, the sensorimotor cortex, etc.)
What are the signs that the patient is under clinical hypnosis?
Deep relaxation
Deep breathing (hypnotic sigh)
Body temperature changes
Response to suggestion
REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
Eye lachrymation
Emotional response
Perceived (imagined as if real) sensory experience (the patient feels the sunshine, hears the waves, smells the food)
Will I lose control?
No, you will not lose control of your body or of your mind.
Will I be unconscious or asleep?
No, you will not be unconscious and you will know at all times where you are and what is happening. Do not confuse clinical hypnotherapy with the entertaining performance of a stage hypnotist.
Will I remember what happened?
Yes, most probably you will remember nearly everything that was said or that happened during hypnosis.
The clinical hypnotherapist does whatever they do to me, and I just receive?
Not true, you will be actively engaged in the session and the therapist will simply guide you through the process.
What if I'm not hypnotizable?
In all likelihood, you are hypnotizable. Researchers at Stanford University and other research centers have determined that about 95 percent of people can be hypnotized to some extent (with most scoring in the midrange on the Stanford Scale) and that an individual's score reflecting the ability to respond to hypnosis remains remarkably stable over time.
Can clinical hypnotherapy hurt anyone?
Hypnosis per se cannot hurt anyone, however it is not indicated for individuals who are under the influence of alcohol and illicit drugs, or individuals who suffer from severe psychosis or severe autism, or individuals who suffer from certain personality disorders.

The Landlord and Mold
Whether you're a tenant or a landlord, mold is something that can cause major tension in your relationship because mold isn't just an inconvenience – it can become a serious safety and health issue in addition to the financial headaches of coordinating and paying for a proper mold remediation service. So when it comes to the landlord and mold, here are some things that both tenants and landlords should consider as you navigate this potentially difficult process:
- FOR BOTH PARTIES. Before you initiate a conversation with the other party about mold, it might be helpful to verify that mold is indeed the problem, or the potential problem. For example, a water spill probably won't end up leading to mold if it's discovered right away and thoroughly dried and cleaned to prevent toxic spores from developing. Likewise, a nasty smell doesn't necessarily mean mold. However, if you notice a musty smell and you can't seem to find the source, or if you've noticed discolored spots on surfaces like walls, ceilings or floors, then it's probably time to get an expert set of eyes on the situation to verify whether it's mold. If the inspector confirms the presence of a moldy substance, then both sides should ideally work together to come to a mutual resolution that will keep the matter out of court. In the event of any disagreement about who should pay for what, then it's best to consult an attorney to verify your state and local laws about who bears the ultimate responsibility for your particular situation. Generally speaking, it's the landlord's responsibility to provide a safe and clean environment at the time of the lease, and after that it's the tenant's responsibility to properly maintain a basic level of cleanliness, but if there is any finger-pointing at all, then your local laws should govern the conversation.
- FOR TENANTS. Before you sign a lease, make sure to inspect the rental property for any signs of water damage or other issues that might lead to mold or be indicators of current mold problems. It's best to hold your landlord accountable in writing for any mold remediation that is required in order to protect yourself from later being accused of causing the mold. Take pictures and keep copies of any documentation to protect yourself throughout the process. If you're already in the lease and mold has developed, or if there is any sort of water spill, leak or other water damage, then you should immediately notify your landlord of the problem. Take pictures and keep a log of both your actions and communications, as well as a record of your landlord's responses. Ideally, you won't have to contact an attorney and pursue legal action, but if it comes to that worst-case scenario, you'll have evidence to bolster your case. This may be hard, but it's usually best to not threaten legal action right away. Give your landlord a chance to fix the mold! Even if you don't have an issue now, remember that the best policy as a tenant is to keep the property where you're living and working in a clean, dry and healthy state by performing regular cleaning and maintenance.
- FOR LANDLORDS. From the outset of the lease, consider requiring your tenant to carry renter's insurance so that if mold or water damage occurs, the tenant can make a claim to their insurer for any property that was damaged. If you're already into the lease and a mold situation develops, then you may be responsible by law for fixing the problem, and you may not. Obviously, if your tenant's negligence led to a mold breakout, then you're justified in wanting to explore not having to pay for their failure to maintain the property in accordance with the lease. Consult your attorney for advice on what you are legally required to do, but take into consideration that in an ambiguous situation, it could be best to err on the side of fixing something for your tenant in order to avoid any legal battles while also preserving the reputation of your property rental business. Your brand is important, and while it can sting in the short term to pay to correct the problem, consider whether your tenant is going to be willing or able to hire the very best company to have the mold actually remediated properly. If you trust a substandard mold removal company with your property, you might be kicking the can down the road and have to pay for a mold remediation all over again later.
So whether you're a tenant or a landlord, if you've discovered a spot in your rental property which could be mold and need a professional mold inspection service, contact your local AdvantaClean service provider today. Our mold removal specialists are equipped with the most advanced mold testing and mold remediation equipment. We're also certified by the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) which means we have the best training in the business.

Our teams are standing by to serve you now!
