IEN in the News
- Written by IEN Executive Committee member, David Dinerman (Hampshire College), Tony Cortese (Green Mountain College, IEN), and Georges Dyer (IEN), this piece highlights the importance and trends of aligning endowment investing with the mission and goals of higher education institutions and considering material ESG factors. It explores some of the challenges and opportunities of doing so, provides some evidence of the benefits and ideas on how to institutionalize such investing, and helps trustees learn about the peer learning opportunities through IEN.
- As asset owners' fervor surrounding ESG and impact investing intensifies, sustainable investing has emerged as an integral part of investment frameworks. While the motivation behind the integration of ESG within the investment decision process varies, investors are nevertheless formalizing their commitment through policy and/or increasing their allocation of assets to sustainable investing. And asset managers are paying attention.
Sustainable Investing at Endowments
- At its October 21 meeting, the Smith College Board of Trustees approved a comprehensive, holistic set of recommendations designed to support the college's commitment to environmental sustainability while also ensuring the continued health of the endowment. The strategies were announced in an email and an FAQ to the community from President Kathleen McCartney and Board of Trustees Chair Deborah L. Duncan '77 and were to increase impact investing, favor managers and funds adhering to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles, avoid future direct holdings in coal, and report regularly on socially responsible investment progress.
New Initiatives
Investor Alliance to Push for Human Rights Progress l Innovation Forum
- The recent launch of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility's new Investor Alliance for Human Rights indicates positive progress on addressing human rights abuse in supply chains. And also the clear need for companies to work harder to bolster efforts to look after people working throughout their entire value chains, spurred on by the investment community.
Sustainable, Responsible, Impact & ESG Investing
- In this article, Lisa Woll, CEO of US SIF, offers some predictions for, and reflections about, the future of sustainable and impact investing.
When Virtue Offers Tangible Rewards l Barron's
- This article describes how Stephen Liberatore, lead portfolio manager for TIAA-CREF Social Choice Bond fund, is making money as well as social impact.
- The Responsible Investment Association (RIA) organized the week's events in an effort to bring education and awareness to RI, particularly as it relates to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. "Systemic risk is the next frontier for ESG," said Michael Jantzi, CEO of Amsterdam-based Sustainalytics during the panel discussion, which was led by the RIA's incoming CEO, Dustyn Lanz. Although climate change is one of the largest systemic risk factors, less than half of the largest companies acknowledge it in their annual reports.
- As the world moves toward a low-carbon future, companies of many stripes are adopting renewable and clean-energy technologies. That, of course, has implications for stocks and the portfolios that hold them. How can asset owners understand the carbon-transition risks in their portfolios? One way is to categorize funds by different types of exposure to carbon-transition risk. Using a matrix approach, asset owners may be able to better understand what long-term bets — intended or not — are embedded in their portfolios. This approach may also help investors develop more resilient investment and risk management strategies as the global energy mix evolves. This article summarizes the findings from MSCI's Low Carbon Transition Matrix.
- Japanese pension fund executive Hiromichi Mizuno has said investment directed by ESGe issues is necessary to encourage women to participate in the labor force and build a sustainable society. Mizuno, who is the chief investment officer of Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), among the world's biggest pension funds, called for South Korea to make investment decisions for the future generations, instead of short-sighted ones that focus on quick sales results, during a breakfast forum held in celebration of the first anniversary of the Korean unit of Women Corporate Directors (WCD) on Tuesday in Seoul.
Socially Responsible ETFs Gain $1.6bn in 12 Months l Track Insight
- Investors have ploughed more than $1.6 billion into socially responsible ETFs over the last year, prompting industry commentators to predict that SRI and ESG (environmental, social and governance) ETFs will become the mainstream. Data from TrackInsight shows that global ETF investors allocated $1.69 billion over the last 12 months and around $1.14 billion year to date to these funds.
- Inequality and climate change have created a challenging backdrop for companies, meaning a failure to incorporate these principles will provide a poor return for investors. This claim was made by Jessica Ground, global head of stewardship for Schroders, who said it was vital to think about environmental, sustainable and governance (ESG) investing in terms of "risk and return". "We see it as the third dimension of investing. If you are going to be successful in allocating capital on a forward-looking way, then you are going to need to take ESG into account, and to hold these companies to account." According to data from the S&P 500, the average tenure of a company has fallen from 50 years to 15. This means that companies operating with a view to long-term sustainability will be those who last the course.
- When a Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst downgraded Chipotle stock last week–claiming the company spends too much to pay workers and that it would have trouble cutting labor costs–it was the latest of many examples of Wall Street pressure on retailers to keep wages low. Of course, that response ignores the long-term benefits that come from fairer wages. "Wall Street's time horizon for company earnings is very short–often one or two quarters," says Michael Reich, a professor of economics at the University of California-Berkeley and chair of the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. "This short-termism often penalizes companies that raise their workers' wages or invest in their employees' skills. Wall Street thus ignores or is unaware of how higher pay reduces employee turnover and boosts worker productivity."
- Canadian and European funds lead the way among the most responsible asset allocators, according to a new report from non-partisan think tank New America. The recently released Bretton Woods II Leaders list of the 25 "most responsible" asset allocators was culled from among hundreds of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and government pension funds (GPFs) representing more than $20 trillion in assets under management. The top funds were chosen for their "high conviction in responsible investing," and their belief that "ESG is material to long-term returns," according to New America.
Investment Manager News
- Green Century Capital Management today announced that its assets under management (AUM) reached a new landmark, exceeding $500 million as of October 20, 2017. Green Century is the investment advisor to the first family of fossil fuel-free responsible and diversified mutual funds in the U.S. Green Century's unique combination of three characteristics allows it to make an impact well beyond its size: Green Century invests in sustainable companies, leads a shareholder advocacy program and is owned by nonprofit organizations. Green Century has grown 435% from $114.9 million in AUM as of 9/30/12 to over $500 million as of 10/20/17. Its growth has mirrored both the rise of interest in sustainable investing and the growth of global fossil fuel divestment campaigns.
- The office is looking to add employees on its sales desk and to its sustainable-investing team.
- On Wednesday, David M. Rubenstein and the other two co-founders of Carlyle Group — William E. Conway Jr. and Daniel A. D'Aniello — announced they were handing over daily management of the firm to their chosen successors. The changing of the guard at Carlyle is part of a generational turnover at private equity firms, as the billionaires who pioneered the industry recognize that they must prepare their businesses for life after they have retired.
Bank of America Pension Opts for DIY Sustainable Strategy l Institutional Investor
- Frustrated with off-the-shelf ESG products, Bank of America Merrill Lynch's U.K. retirement scheme is building its own sustainable investment strategy and seeking an asset manager to run the fund. The decision follows similar steps taken by major asset owners worldwide, including the Taiwan Bureau of Labor Funds and New Zealand Super Fund, according to index provider MSCI.
- The rising social and economic power of women venture is global mega-trend that venture capital is beginning to notice. Suzanne Biegel, a longtime gender lens investor and advisor, and the team over at the Wharton Social Impact Initiative have pulled together one of the most comprehensive lists of private equity, venture capital and debt funds explicitly investing with a gender lens. Download their new report to view all 58 funds.
Climate Risk, Science & Regulation
- Fires, floods and hurricanes are already costing the federal government tens of billions of dollars a year and climate change will drive those costs ever higher in coming years, a new federal study warns. The report by the Government Accountability Office, Congress's auditing arm, urges the Trump administration to take climate change risks seriously and begin formulating a response. The study, scheduled to be released Tuesday, says that different sectors of the economy and different parts of the country will be harmed in ways that are difficult to predict. But one estimate projects that rising temperatures could cause losses in labor productivity of as much as $150 billion by 2099, while changes in some crop yields could cost as much as $53 billion.
General Higher Education Endowment News
- In what has become a familiar pattern in the last several years, published tuition and fee prices increased at a relatively low, steady rate this year -- but financial aid again failed to keep up, resulting in students paying more to attend college. Tuition and fees increased by less than 2 percent between 2016-17 and 2017-18 after adjusting for inflation, according to new College Board report released Wednesday. The reports, "Trends in Student Aid" and "Trends in College Pricing," are released annually, showing both short-term changes and trends over longer periods of time.
- Harvard University wrote down the value of its natural resources investments by $1.1 billion in the last fiscal year, contributing significantly to its poor endowment performance. The university revalued the portfolio to $2.9 billion from $4 billion in the year through June 30, according to an annual report released Thursday. The writedown is part of an ambitious attempt to overhaul the $37.1 billion endowment and helps explain why the world's richest school trailed in performance against its peers.
The Endowments Ignoring Passive l Institutional Investor
- Leading allocators are not only continuing their dogged pursuit of alpha – they're doing it in a way that would make more timid investors weak in the knees. A small subset of allocators, including Verger Capital CEO Jim Dunn, have eschewed asset allocation in favor of risk allocation. Dunn explained on a recent podcast that "the problem with modern portfolio theory is that it's not very modern." His approach analyzes the factors that drive a manager's returns and optimizes across factors rather than across asset classes. The resulting portfolio tends to look quite different from one that starts with allocations to asset classes and fills buckets and sizes managers accordingly.
Fossil Fuel DivestmentA Seemingly Symbolic Action Shifted the Climate Change Debate l phys.org
- A new study by University of Michigan sustainable enterprise professor Andy Hoffman and Temple University's Todd Schifeling, a former postdoc with U-M's Erb and Graham institutes, shows that media coverage of climate change increased during Bill McKibben's 350.org activism and that it influenced the public debate.
- About 30 members of Fossil Free GW held a silent protest during a Board of Trustees meeting Friday, urging the University to divest from fossil fuels. Members of the group gathered in the public viewing area of the meeting wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with the word "divest." When the meeting was called to order, demonstrators stood up silently and unfurled a large banner. Protesters left the meeting after speaking with University Police Department Chief Rashall Brackney. Demonstrators walked out after being told holding the banner and standing during the meeting was creating a disruption, the group wrote in a Facebook statement.
- Last week, a delegation of Indigenous women returned from a trip to Europe where they met with leaders of financial institutions in Norway, Switzerland, and Germany, the "home bases for several of the world's largest financial and insurance institutions supporting dangerous extraction developments," according to the news release. The delegation was organized by Indigenous women leaders in partnership with the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network. Jackie Fielder, who is Mnicoujou Lakota and Mandan-Hidatsa, was a member of that women's delegation. Fielder is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes and a campaign coordinator of Lakota People's Law Project as well as an organizer with Mazaska Talks. Others in the delegation included LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, Michelle Cook, and Tara Houska. In this interview, Fielder talks about divestment, the delegation's trip to Europe, and what's next for the movement to defund fossil fuel projects that threaten Indigenous peoples.
- University of Vermont student activists called upon the board of trustees to divest from fossil fuels in a silent protest at the board meeting Oct. 20. While the budget, finance and investment committee met, Student Climate Culture and Young Progressives entered Silver Maple Ballroom with signs demanding fossil fuel divestment. The students stood, without talking, while the board went through the agenda and raised their signs when they spoke about the University endowment. The protest came after SGA passed a resolution last week backed by a number of student environmental advocacy groups.
- Brandeis University's faculty convened for their monthly assembly on Friday afternoon and passed both a resolution to divest from fossil fuels and the first of two votes on the general curriculum changes. The resolution states, "We pledge to support the president and his team as Brandeis adopts increasingly ambitious climate action plans to help fulfill the [Paris Agreement's] commitment to 'take forceful action' in support of 'the global effort to hold warming to under 2°C.'" Senate Chair Susan Curnan (Heller) said that the Faculty Senate unanimously supported the resolution and that the resolution aims to put more commitment on the part of the faculty in supporting ambitious action planning. Several faculty members voiced concern about the final sentence of the resolution, which described the Trustees' responsibility "to develop and implement a strategy for ending our university's investments in fossil fuels at the fastest pace."
- Since 2015, a student environmental organization focused on divestment from fossil fuels has worked to revitalize a fossil fuel divestment campaign at MU. In April, the Missouri Students Association passed a resolution asking that the UM System divest from fossil fuel companies. Frankie Hawkins, a representative for the coalition, said the UM System's estimated $10 million invested in fossil fuels represents about 1 percent of the system's $1.5 billion endowment pool. In a June response to the resolution, UM System President Mun Choi and Maurice B. Graham, the chair of the UM System Board of Curators, sent the coalition a letter emphasizing the importance of fossil fuels in the global economy.
- Members of the University of Cambridge gathered this week in a 'town hall' style meeting to discuss the issue of divestment, as part of an information-gathering exercise carried out by the University's divestment working group. During the ticketed event, which was held at Lady Mitchell Hall on Sidgwick site, speakers proposed a range of arguments both in opposition to and in support of divestment. Twelve speakers, who had submitted speeches to the working group prior to the meeting, were invited to address the audience.

These are my products that I've hit 'pan' on. I've used enough of the product so you can see the packaging, which means I've used it a lot! These products are basically all stuff I love and have mentioned before, but I wanted to show you how much I love them.
Nars Laguna
A cult product, and my favourite bronzer ever! It contours, warms up your skin and is generally awesome. It has tiny flecks of shimmer that don't really translate to your skin, so it's a good everyday bronzer.
I've used this pretty much most days since April, and I've still got loads left 🙂
Sleek contour kit
This is awesome for adding definition to the face, and it's pretty cheap! I don't like the highlighter, I find it a bit too gritty, but the matte colour is perfect.
I've found a better contouring powder for me (review up soon!) but this is great if you're new to contouring.
Nuxe lip balm
Ahhhhh, my favourite lip balm ever! It's just so good. Believe the hype! It moisturises my lips so nicely and leaves a matte finish so it's not too glossy. I put this on before I go to bed and it's still there in the morning, it's amaazzzzing. I just adore this, and will repurchase forever!
Rimmel stay matte powder
The powder I sling in my bag for touch ups. It's alright, it's no MAC MSF! It seems to finish pretty quickly as well, but it's cheap so not too fussed. Yeah! Does the job.
Sleek Brow Kit
Reviewed this in more detail, here. Excellent, excellent brow kit. The cream/gel is a perfect colour match for my brows and sets the hairs, and the powder adds a little bit more definition to the bushiest bits of my brows. Win!
MAC eyeshadows in All that Glitters, Woodwinked & Tempting
Haha, I've sung the praises of Woodwinked SO many times, and I still bleddy love it! All that glitters AND Woodwinked is my go-to eye when I have no time, they blend together so nicely. I simply put a wash of All that glitters all over the lid, put Woodwinked in the crease and add a flick of liner and voila! Tempting is another lovely shade, and my second ever MAC shadow!
Do you hit pan often? I think it shows how loved particular products can be 🙂

Yesterday, SRQ | The Magazine hosted our first ever Women in Business Hear Me Roar Leadership and Awards luncheon to a sold-out audience at The Francis in downtown Sarasota. Originally planned as the awards ceremony for the 2015 Women in Business competition, the Hear Me Roar event boasted an inspiring keynote address from Pam van der Lee, Chief Marketing Officer for iMatchative in San Francisco and honored local fashion icon Adrienne Vittadini with the inaugural Women in Business Trailblazer Award.
SRQ was incredibly proud and honored to introduce new inductees to the 2015 Leadership Circle, comprised of the finalists and winners of this year's Women in Business Competition. As each recipient was recognized, a quote or snippet of self-delivered advice (in the form of a letter written to their former selves) was projected, allowing each finalist and winner to be celebrated in a very personal way.
Meet the 2015 SRQ Women in Business Leadership Circle
- Mary Dougherty-Slapp, Gulf Coast Builders Exchange; winner
- Kameron Hodgens, The Glasser Schoenbaum Human Services Center; winner
- Christine Johnson, Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast; winner
- Jo Ann Koontz, Koontz & Associates; winner
- Denise Kowal, Avendia de Colores; winner
- Elizabeth Melendez Fisher, Selah Freedom; finalist
- Mary Forristall, Forristall Enterprises; finalist
- Kim Hopper, Regions Bank; finalist
- Tammy Kovar, Biological Tree Services; finalist
- Stefanie Overturf, Overturf's Floor & Fabric Care; finalist
- Sandra Rios, The Resort at Longboat Key Club; finalist
- Gabriele Vest, Grapevine Communications; finalist
Upon arrival, luncheon guests sipped champagne and shopped wares from some of our favorite local retailers, including Diamond Vault, Philosophy & Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, Pecky, Paint Nail Bar and Saks Fifth Avenue. The program began on a high note with Pam van der Lee's address. Ashley Grant, SRQ Vice President of Strategic Partnerships introduced Pam through her "road less traveled" path to success. Early in her career, Pam rejected the allure of Wall Street and took a job with a then-smaller company, Nickelodeon Studios, and as the company grew, became the head of marketing for Viacom. She made a segue into non-profit work and followed her passion into the unknown, "I believe that passion is the very best driver and the most reliable predictor of success," said Pam. Throughout her address, luncheon guests were moved by her thoughtful honesty and a summation of her life that is familiar to many many women navigating their own road to success:
"My career path can resemble the freeways in LA. Confusing, circuitous, busy, sometimes terrifying and not terribly well marked. Moving from entertainment marketing to the world of non-profit, to a start up that straddles both finance and technology, I think most would agree that my path doesn't follow the "a straight line is the shortest distance between two points" rule. But the one thing that has been clear in all of my choices is that passion has been my driver." — Pam van der Lee
As her speech concluded, Pam charged all in attendance with a few challenges:
- Feel passionate about something that you do. Identify and engage in the activities, situations and/or environments that thrill you, that make you giddy or even a little scared.
- Surround yourself with people whom you admire and connect.
- Be fair and decent.
- Lead by example. Be the driver of your success and help others along the way through setting a good example, brining others to the table to participate in decision making and by valuing others.
Moved by Pam's words, the luncheon warmly congratulated Adrienne Vittadini as the very first recipient of the SRQ Women in Business Trailblazer award. SRQ Media CEO and Editor in Chief Lisl Liang reflected on Adrienne's longstanding and impressive career – turning a lifelong hobby into an impressive and celebrated international corporation. Accepting her award, Adrienne attributed a great deal of her success to reinventing herself. Taking risks, being adventurous and not being afraid are all actions she encouraged us take – and to take often.
We look forward to getting to know each of the winners and finalists and learning about their incredible and unique success stories in the coming year. SRQ Magazine would like to thank our incredible sponsors for their support of the Women in Business initiative and the incredible nominees, finalists and winners: The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sophie's, and The Resort at Longboat Key Club.

"As I gently arose from my brief slumber I had this sense of wonder for what the moment held—indescribable, uncontainable bliss saturated my being."
Many chase after a drug to mimic the affect I felt the moment my powernap ended. How could it be that I, a normal everyday man, could feel so delightfully blessed? The feeling was beyond comprehension as I just sat in it—at surely the vastest point of human experience, or so it seemed.
I analysed a little further, 'What can I attribute as the cause of this feeling of joy, accomplishment and assurance, in that moment?' These are my reflections; I know they speak to all of us and not simply to me alone:
è I'd just been 're-charged' and I felt alert and totally rejuvenated. We underrate sleep—it's a powerful elixir for our health and wellbeing; perhaps the most powerful thing we can do is to be well-slept.
è All my work had been done; it was Friday and I had time ahead of me—time to do what I wanted to do, with few things needing doing.
è I'd achieved many of my goals over a tough three week period, and then some extra ones. I allowed myself to sink into my achievements, the essential and the desirable alike.
è The mood was easy; leisure afoot. Space and time were mine.
è I felt full of hope and my personal prospects were sound; all of my relationships had received my full service and as a result they were all going well.
Now, I'm even slightly embarrassed as to how simple and not-noteworthy these findings are. They're not that dazzling really. But, they do describe honestly why I felt so good.
Times of bliss are so desirable we want to bottle them. We can't always feel this way. We have to come back to earth at some point. But there's no reason why we can't feel in synch with life and at harmony with our souls very frequently, and certainly weekly. (This is, of course, dependant on our present contexts.)
We should learn to grow our joy hydroponically, being that we can have hybrid emotions in the spiritually peaceful quite without the stresses that threaten to steal our joy.
Why would we have it any other way if we could help it?

Recently Microsoft had decided to advertise Windows 7 on the popular but not-so-liked show Family Guy. They pulled it out at the last moment due to complaints from several parents and other people who did not like the idea.
However, Microsoft decided to release the Family guy clips which featured Windows 7. You can view all the videos in the post below.

Thursday night saw the Niagara Knights men's basketball program lose for the first time this season, as the team was beaten 100-95 at home by the visiting Lambton Lions. The loss drops the Knights to 4-1 on the season and into second place in the crowded OCAA West Division.
"It was a back and forth game and each quarter was very close as neither team could pull away from one another" said Niagara Knights men's basketball head coach Mike Hurley. "In the end we shot the ball very poorly from the floor and the foul line."
The difference in the game proved to be the Knights inability to convert on free throw chances. The Knights shot just 41% (11 of 27) from the charity stripe, compared to the Lions who shot 70%.
The two teams traded leads throughout the contest. Niagara led 22-21 after the first quarter, while the Lions carried 43-40 and 72-68 leads after the second and third. The Knights appeared to have the inside track towards victory late in the fourth, when Welland's Danny Lokole hit a three-pointer to put the Knights up by two with just over a minute left. A pair of costly turnovers by Niagara down the stretch allowed the Lions to secure the hard fought win.
Van Hutchinson Jr. finished with games highs in both points with 26 and rebounds with 15. The six-foot-four native of the Bahamas was a force all game for the Knights.
Levi Mukuna (Hamilton), Danny Lokole (Welland), Deysean Thompson (Orangeville), Jordon McDonald (Mississauga), and Jordan Wilson (Nassau) all finished in double digit scoring for Niagara.
Up next the Knights will travel to Ancaster to take on the CCAA's No.10 ranked Redeemer Royals on November 15th. Tip-off is set for 8:00pm.

Wouldn't it be great if this were available right around the corner?
Yesterday I took my family to see a special screening of Secret of the Wings at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Secret of the Wings is the latest in Disney's Fairies franchise, and I can't imagine a more magical setting for a screening than the majestic El Capitan.
Unless, of course, it could be at our very own Rialto Theatre.
Naysayers love to insist that glamorous old movie palaces aren't practical, that people would rather stay at home and watch their Blue Rays than go sit in a theater, especially an old theater.
Well, the sold-out show at El Capitan yesterday is just one example of how wrong those naysayers can be. (I've covered many other success stories of renovated movie palaces in my Rialto series on Patch right here and here.)
When the curtain rose yesterday, illuminated by dozens of glimmering lights every bit as whimsical as fairy dust, Little Bit said, "This place is more special than any other building in the world! Will we ever have a theater like this at home?"
I don't know. I hope so.

Museums and Archives always exist in the present, yet their endless 'waiting without forgetting' locates them in our imagined past.
Our own recent past has been marked by an increasing number of new museums, mushrooming around the globe. The museum, or the idea of the museum - like a parable from the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges - has become the space to preserve our culture; the museum is the ideal destination of everything. Re-found objects from the distant, and not so distant past are restored and preserved there, new technologies compete for inclusion in museums of design and industry.
To enter the museum is to enter the past of the present, and participate in the value of things.
The drive to collect and conserve is at the root of all museums and archives. Is it merely the exhibitionary imperative that separates the museum from the archive? While the museum has a responsibility to display its holdings, the archives logic is to store.
The time of the Archive - the archive as a 'fold' in time?-
The archive stores materials to enable us to recall the past
· As memory
· As capital
· Yet makes us conscious of absences, forgetting and discontinuities
The archive always exists in the present
· the practice of the Archive
· the archive as a moment of struggle – agonistic?
who or what is included, who are the gatekeepers, who has access, etc?
· ?
As a resource the archive enables us to dream a (possible) future
· The Future Archive – Timelines and scenarios.
The ethics of the Archive
· ?
An Archive is in continuous transformation
· The practice of storage – data, materials documents, speech, gestures, etc
The political economy of the Archive
· for example reciprocity; if you use material you must also contribute – peer-to-peer and wiki-like structure
· 'open content' archival source material
· donated source material must never disappear – de-accessioned
The decentralization of the archive, a distributed archive
The impossible Archive?
· The intersection of reality/fiction
· Archive of experiences
· The impossible archive – should include the whole context (like Borges story of the 1;1 map)
· Can you dream/plan/imagine if you cannot remember?
· The missing from the archive
· The limits of the archive
These are some of the isues I'm currently exploring with Procesos de archivo/ Archivalprocess.
All artifacts inevitably grow a vast shadow of information; an archival prosthesis of acquisition records, cataloguing information, documentary photographs, condition reports, and supporting evidence.
So powerful is our archive fever, that we hallucinate its presence out into all of our futures. The future museum colonizes our dreams with their already archived past.

Her unique designs have received notoriety, appearing on celebrities such as singer Carrie Underwood, actress Alicia Silverstone, race car driver Danica Patrick, and countless other blushing brides who appreciate the beauty and artistry of a Toni Federici design.

There's been a great deal of discussion and debate about Apple's decision to remove all but USB-C and headphone ports from the new MacBook Pro, but Weblogs founder and Internet entrepreneur Jason Calacanis turned the dial up to 11 in an appearance on This Week in Tech.
In criticising both the loss of the ports from the MacBook Pro and headphone socket from the iPhone 7, he said that Apple CEO Tim Cook was 'boring, visionless and incompetent' and called for him to leave the company.
The discussion began reasonably enough, with a comment from host Leo Laporte that Apple's price-cuts to USB-C cables and adapters was an acknowledgement of 'a mis-step' by the company, but that provoked a solid two-minute all-out rant by Calacanis. It started with the usual criticism of promoting an operations guy to CEO and went on from there.
If you put the person in charge of logistics in charge of Apple, the ships and the trains and everything's going to run on time, but the product is going to suffer […]
Getting rid of the headphone jack, and forcing people to make a decision if they want to charge their phone or make a phone call, is incompetence […] And to take the MagSafe connector […] to take this innovation that they're known for and throw it away, and put four USB-Cs and take away another loved feature, the HDMI that plugs right in, knowing that people were in the video business and developers love that, it reeks of some level of incompetence that can only happen when you put someone as boring and visionless as Tim Cook in charge of a company with a legacy and a passionate user-base like Apple.
Calacanis went on to compare his view of Cook with Steve Jobs, seemingly forgetting that Steve hand-picked his successor.
The first comment on the video was from someone who didn't seem overly impressed.
You can trust Jason Calacanis, he's an expert in incompetence.
View in our poll were split, with a slim margin considering the switch to all-USB-C ports a positive move. You can watch the excerpt below.

14 Jun 3 Smart Home Technologies Everyone Should Have
Smart homes are all the rage these days and with all the amazing benefits and unbeatable convenience offered, it is not so difficult to see why. The systems can pretty much do anything from automatically adjusting the AC to answering your front door for you. With people going crazy over these systems, all sorts of brands and models are popping up making it difficult on the best product as a homeowner. To make your life easier, below are the top 3 smart home technologies
that everyone should have.
- Smart security- Life Shield smart home system
This is a smart home technology system whose main focus is not only to ensure smart home control but also to offer security support in many different ways. Below are a few of the amazing features and capabilities of this smart home security system.
- Real time security updates
The system can be connected to cameras allowing you to receive live streams of activity from your home. It is also configured to your smartphone or other devices allowing direct relay of important messages while you are away. For example, if someone tries to access the house through any of the doors, you will get a notification allowing you to determine the best course of action.
- Motion detector
The system also features motion sensors that are usually attached to the door or to windows. These can further be connected to surveillance cameras where they automatically notify you and start recording as soon as the sensors are triggered. This security feature comes in handy especially if you tend to spend a lot of your time away from home.
- Smoke detectors
In addition to offering security against intruders, the smart home technology features smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These come in handy in case of emergency and will alert not only occupants in the house but also emergency response teams.
- Energy monitoring and HVAC control
There is truly nothing that this system cannot do with this particular feature being one of its best. The ability to control things like temperature and humidity through your AC system makes this a pretty awesome product.
- Flood detector
If you live in a flood-prone area, then the Life Shield smart home system will come in handy with its water level detector. For the best effects, the sensors are placed in low lying areas including the basement or the lowest level on the main house.
- Round the clock security support
Finally, with this smart home system you can look forward to 24/7 security support.
- Smart entertainment- Amazon Echo
Amazon Echo is a smart speaker that offers more than just a few good beats. Below are some of its best smart home technology features.
- High quality entertainment
This is without a doubt what the smart technology is best known for. The voice activated speaker can do anything from reading you the news to playing your favorite music from your smartphone.
- Temperature control
The system can also be configured to the AC network allowing you to automatically control temperature simply using verbal commands.
- Hands free connection and communication
Finally, the Amazon Echo smart home technology unit allows you to make various hands free commands for your convenience. This allows you to do anything from ordering a pizza to answering the front door without moving a muscle. All that needs to be done in this case is configuring the Amazon Echo operating system to your smartphone or smart security network.
This unit might be confined to housekeeping duties but it is without doubt one of the best as far as smart cleaning is concerned. It is designed to offer both automatic vacuuming and mopping services. That way, all you have to do is power it up and let it loose on your dusty floors and your house will be spotless within a few minutes.
Bottom line
It goes without saying that these three smart home packages are pretty awesome. Their ability to combine ease and convenience of operation with top notch performance makes each and every one of them an investment worth making. The unique bonus features also help set them apart from other models and from each other allowing you to pick based on your preferences and your priorities. So if you were in the market for a smart home system then you can rest assured that you will not go wrong with any of the three described above.

After an ODI series win against Australia and a T20I draw, India is all set to take on the Black Caps. Currently, the ODI series is drawn as India came back after a loss at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India registered a bossy win in the 2nd ODI at MCA Stadium in Pune and all the credit goes to the opening and death bowling pair, Bumrah and Bhuvi. They restricted New Zealand to a well below par total of 230 and Indian batsmen took care of the rest with contributions from all the top order batsmen.
Both the teams have shown strength and strategy till now in the ODI series, which makes the T20 series much more interesting. The first T20I is going to be played at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi ( 01 – November – 2017 , Wednesday ). There have been a total of 4 T20I at this stadium with an average first innings score of 146 and second innings score of 142. The pitch is batting-friendly, which makes it an interesting first T20I venue. Both the teams know each other's strengths and weaknesses which make the first T20I an important match as whoever registers a win in this match would be in the driving seat from the start.
Both the teams have released their T20I squads. Here are the T20I squads:
Indian Cricket Team
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Axar Patel, Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Ashish Nehra and Mohammed Siraj.
New Zealand Cricket Team
Kane Williamson (c), Martin Guptill, Colin De Grandhomme, Henry Nicholls, Mitchel Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tom Latham, Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Tom Bruce, Matt Henry, Henry Nicholls, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, Glenn Phillips and Tim Southee.
This is going to be Ashish Nehra's last international match as he has announced his retirement. Indian fans would want to see the world cup winning player in action, but it is highly unlikely that the skipper would divert from his perfectly set pair of death bowlers. Therefore, it is less likely that Ashish Nehra would get to play his last match.
Players to Watch and Match Prediction:
For the Indian side, the top players to watch out for are the dynamic bowling duo, Bumrah and Bhuvi, the skipper, Virat Kohli and the openers, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. Both the openers have shown great strength in T20I and would be crucial if the team wants to go the distance and we all know how the captain plays under pressure. Bumrah and Bhuvi are crucial to restrict New Zealand.
For the Black Caps, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson and Tom Latham are the batsmen to watch out for and for bowlers, Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner need to play an important role. As the pitch favors spin, these bowlers are crucial for New Zealand. If everything goes their way, they are likely to give tough competition to the hosts.
Match could go either way as New Zealand has played well in similar conditions. Tom Latham has shown he can crack open India's spin attack. Even if that's the case, the men in blue are still the favorites.
Predicted Winner: India (IN)

Recently I came across a well-meaning call for help on Facebook. Someone was looking for a videographer to make a promotional video for her business. Happy to help, folks started chiming in with their picks for local talent. As any good business owner should do, I wound up checking out the websites of my "competition." I found competent videographers who appear to do corporate and wedding videos.
Here's the thing videographers don't want you to know: It isn't that hard to make a promo video. At least, nailing the technical aspects of a video shoot aren't rocket science. I've been on shoots where half the crew was high or at least hungover, and guess what? The video came out fine. Video production is, whether we like it or not, a commodity these days. It's cheap to make and cheaper than ever to find someone to do the job.
But is the "job" just making a video? Is this a video crafted by a marketing firm who can understand how to sell into your audience? Did you discuss the goals of the video with your hired guns? Did they offer anything other than a "yes!" man mentality?
All too often people make throwaway videos that gain no audience because they were hastily executed in a desire to "post something." Here's a real tip: Content marketing is NOT mind barf. You don't just toss anything on the wall and hope it sticks. Proper content marketing means having a plan and executing that plan with precision and detail.
At Superpixel Studios I have over a decade of content marketing experience. I know what marketing is, and how to construct a plan for you or work within your existing plans to complement them in the best way possible. I am happy to quote you on a "basic" videography package, but I'm much more excited by the idea of partnering with you to craft a message that extends and builds your audience and customer base. Isn't growing your business the goal? Why not work with someone who has created videos seen by millions, videos that garner sales and donations, rather than someone who has his camera set to automatic but will bill you as though he was a creative professional.
It's not just telling your story. It's telling your story in the best way possible.

How Do You Select the Best Luxury House in Huge Homes For Sale?
The greatest difference in definitions is between towns; however, there seems to be an agreement regarding the upper end of homes. Prices of Huge Homes For Sale in Hyde Park they depend on your information source, you will get a different answer to the question of what can be classified as a luxury home.
Homes that are unquestionably luxurious, are worth tens of millions of dollars or more. They have incredible amenities, professional landscaping, and property planning, and are generally massive in size with ten or more bedrooms. These homes are advertised nationally and internationally. Real estate agents for these properties have additional responsibilities involving trusts, attorneys, and anonymity issues.
No one seems to question that these homes, often owned by extremely wealthy and usually famous people, are luxurious. In fact, these homes in Hyde Park should be called "super luxury" homes to differentiate them from other high end homes.
In an entirely different class, the other group of luxury homes, are advertised locally. Property in the US that is valued at over a million dollars is usually considered luxury real estate. Consumers in high socio-economic groups are the target for these properties.
This second group of homes may have features such as wet bars, designer kitchens, wine cellars, theatre seating, in-ground pools, security systems, professional landscaping, heated floors, and tennis courts. These Huge Homes For Sale in Hyde Park are generally larger than average with good locations, amenities, property entries, and entertainment capabilities.
Homes for Sale
Luxury homes tend to have entertainment rooms with features such as built in seating and high end, up-to-date technology for the best movie watching experiences. Designer kitchens are also very trendy in high-end homes with features such as custom paneling for appliances, extra under-the-counter refrigerators or beverage centers, and wine bars that fit among the kitchen pantry and other storage cabinets. Designer kitchens also include granite countertops, high-end fixtures, customized storage drawers, and pull out pantries.
There's no question that this second group of homes are also desirable homes to live in. However, are they really in the same class as homes in Hyde Park which are also called luxury homes?
In both groups of homes, location, amenities, property entry, entertainment capability, and landscaping are considered. Most luxury homes offer a combination of desirable natural elements such as ocean proximity, views, or climate, and professionally designed landscaping and architecture. But really, if a 1.2 million dollar, lakefront home with a dock and a swimming pool is a luxury home, then Mariah Carey's home must be a "super luxury" home.
If you are unsure how to categorize your home, your best bet is to talk to an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS). Real estate agents with this specialty are knowledgeable about national luxury home trends, luxury buyer and seller needs, and the development of unique high-level services.

Back Taxes Houses For Sale - How to Buy Them For $200 Outside the Auction
Finding a tax lien property for sale is pretty easy. Finding a property that is worth buying, especially in today's economic climate, is a bit more tricky. My goal with this brief article is to show you 3 different ways to find pending tax lien sales worth buying... and how to find them for free.
But first, the basics...
What are tax lien sales?
A tax lien sale is when a government agency auctions off any tax liens against a property to recoup any delinquent taxes against the property. These sales are usually conducted by the tax collectors office or the sheriff's office.
It is important to note that there are two different ways for the government to collect delinquent taxes. One would be this type of sale (tax lien sales), and the other is known as a tax deed sale.
In a tax lien sale, the investor is buying the lien itself. The winning bidder will receive a certificate at the end of the auction that entitles the investor to collect payments for the delinquent taxes, often at a high interest rate. This certificate also allows the investor to foreclose on the property after a specified redemption period if the taxes remain unpaid.
3. Local Newspaper
As part of the sale process, the county must give "public notice" of all upcoming tax sales. These are always either before or after the classifieds. Go through this section religiously... it is your new golden goose. Make note of the properties that look interesting, and do your due diligence from there.
4. Subscription based list services
This is the only strategy that will cost you some money... which is why I didn't mention it earlier. Consider it a bonus.
Honestly, these types of services are a dime a dozen. Some are better than others. The biggest benefit is the speed that you get access to the information. Always look for ones that update often; generally speaking, locally based websites are better than national ones. If you do a basic search on Google you'll get a list of plenty to choose from.
Hyde Park Huge Homes For Sale
Buying a house is a lifetime decision which should be taken carefully and most buyers are worried about increasing property prices which makes it difficult for them to purchase their dream homes. In this situation, Foreclosed homes are the best option which many first time buyers and investors of real estate can opt for purchasing their homes and saving money.
Foreclosed Loans for Sale - An Insight
Foreclosed homes are default loan cases by banks and other government authorities where the borrower defaults on the loan payments and has to vacate the premises as the lender exercises the mortgage right mentioned in the loan. The lender proceeds with the foreclosure sale process by making a public announcement for the auction on internet and in the local newspaper inviting bidders to participate in the bid process. The bidders participate in the auction on the specified date and the base price is the outstanding loan amount which is usually less than the property market prevalent price. This is most beneficial to the buyers as they can avail cheap rates on the property as the lender is interested only in recovering the loan and is not there to make profit.
By searching online one can find various homes for sale but foreclosed homes for sale still remain the best option for most buyers and can be used to save money.
What is the Average Time to Sell a House?
To sell your property fast in the current economic meltdown you will need to do some work or make some sacrifices or maybe both.
Offer some incentives to make the purchaser take notice of your house and encourage them to make an offer to buy it, such as money back to the purchaser, free furniture, free kitchen appliances etc.
It may sound obvious, correctly pricing your property is very important. So if your property is simply just sitting on the housing market for a while then the price isn't right. Hire a Professional surveyor to check the price of your house.
As a last resort you can opt for a house buying company if you need to sell your property asap, and cannot afford to renovate. A company that will help sell your house quick, by buying it from you. They will normally make you a less than market offer, but will save you much time.

Richard Branson Latest Mogul to Launch an iPad Magazine
Branson is the second Brit titan to announce an iPad-based publication in November. News Corp. (NWS) owner Rupert Murdoch unveiled plans for an iPad-based newspaper, to be called The Daily, which will cost the owner of The Wall Street Journal and Fox News as much as $30 million. The Daily will have a dedicated staff of 100 and Murdoch has been on a hiring spree of brand-name journalists around the U.S. and the Big Apple in particular. The Daily will launch next year.
Branson's new magazine will draw primarily on entertainment, design, business, travel and international culture. The venture will be led by Branson's 29-year-old daughter Holly. Anthony Noguera, a former editor of Zoo and FHM, will take charge of editorial operations. Both publications will likely embed video and use other multi-media technologies that are of course absent in dead tree editions.
Should Branson and Murdoch show that an iPad magazine can truly scale and drive real advertising dollars, expect a gold rush of iPad apps from media companies seeking that golden mean between the high but hard to justify advertising rates of print and broadcast and the unsustainably low online advertising rates for most Internet publications.

Founder and Chief Medical officer Dr. Joshua La told that the application has more than 150,000 users in six countries including the US, Canada, UK and Australia.
"In Australia, a customized consent form can be signed by patient or representative before images can be taken," Landy said. "After that images are reviewed by privacy moderators to make sure they have educational value. [They are] being taken respectfully, there's no sensationalistic images."
Bryan Vartabedian, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Texas Children's Hospital wrote in his blog post that the overall concept makes sense as images in medicine are a good way to teach. He is also wary of Figure 1 and what it could mean to patient privacy.
"There's a difference between de-identification of images on a level that's compliant with health privacy law and de-identification that respects a patient's wishes," Vartabedian wrote. "I operate within the understanding that if a patient can individually identify their own leg, finger, laceration within an image, they should understand very clearly that the image is headed for the very public domain."
Healthcare professionals must follow rules to keep patients' protected health information (PHI) secure, even if they are working to improve a patient's health.
"In the old days medical images never left the medical library or the glossy paper on which they were printed," he said. "But times have changed, technology is advancing faster than the discussion surrounding its use, and we have to think carefully about how we repurpose and share the images of those under our care."
Alertsec strengthens security
Alertsec has created a web based encryption service that radically simplifies deployment and management of PC encryption by using industry leading Check Point Full Disk Encryption (former Pointsec) software.
Organizations, especially corporate giants, have to have an information security policy in place that proves they have taken necessary steps and measures to safeguard the information they gathered. If these policies are not adhered to, the regulators may prosecute.
Alertsec Xpress is used by organizations that have recognized the need to protect their information. Customers range from single-user sole traders and consultants to multinational companies with a large number of offices around the globe. Over 4 million users worldwide use Alertsec Xpress's Check Point Full Disk Encryption.

Monday was Zoo day...
Tuesday Aunt Ashley took her to visit a horse which apparently she thought was an oversized dog because she kept saying "woof".
Wednesday Aunt Breanna took her for a walk and ran into a couple of little piggy's.
What does the rest of the week have in store? So far only Dexter, the boring old house dog.

I am currently under-going a major de-clutter project at Maison Jacq. Therefore, aside from the empties you'll see, at the end there will be a pile of products I sadly have to part with. I am also consolidating a load to blog sale or to giveaway; will let you guys know when I have time to get around handling that part. ;)
[很不錯]Laneige Multi Cleanser - Joyeux Jacq - Got this huge tube from Korea. A great basic foaming wash to use, which has a fragrance that I adore, and one of great value if paid Korean price. Don't pay the HK price for it.
[很不錯]Hada Senka Lotion with Whitening Serum "Fresh" - product link! - Joyeux Jacq - A fresh, light, basic toner, not exceptionally whitening though. I would love to repurchase one day, if it goes on sale again.
[普通]Naruko Taiwan Magnolia Brightening and Firming Spray (discontinued) - Just Jacq - It smells great, feels soothing, doesn't brighten or firm though.
[很不錯]UNT Nude Fresh Eye n Lip Makeup Remover - Joyeux Jacq - Hard to mix the two layers by mild shaking, vigorous action required. However, this smells lightly of a very fresh peach, and is strong (oily) enough to take off my stubborn waterproof make up. A thumb-up.
[普通]Naruko Taiwan Magnolia Brightening and Firming Cream Wash EX - Just Jacq - Nothing wrong with this thing actually, given the price, texture and effect. I'm just not a big fan of foaming wash any more. This was used up by my mum and I together. Collaborated effort.
[普通]BRTC One-Step Cleansing Remover - Just Jacq - A gel texture cleanser that can also remove make up. Works for base, such as BB cream, but not point make up, e.g. mascara and lips.
[普通]Punky Candy Night Mask "Calendula" - Just Jacq - Actually I enjoy this, especially when compared to the other flavours
[不推薦]*Dr. Brandt Collagen Booster - Non Jacq - Don't enjoy it much, simply because it doesn't smell good. Sometimes I'm superficial like that. Sorry.
[超推薦]b-liv by Cellnique Off With Those Heads Blackheads Sebum Gel - Black Jacq - Want to run out to repurchase! Got this sample in a Glamabox and am amazed by how good it works. Made the area around my nose as smooth as pre-puberty - which is unbelievable. Although it is priced at $490 for 45ml, I will go get a tube once my mandelic acid stash is being tested a bit.
[超推薦]*Helenere Maitrise du Temps Intensive Treatment - Black Jacq - I will do a separate review on these golden drops!
[很不錯]My Scheming Snail Essence Hydrating Mask - Joyeux Jacq - Not the typical snail mask type of nourishing, healing, hydrating. It is more a basic moisturising type. Sheet is very thin soft silk type, like this a lot.
[很不錯]Prof. TK TPGS-VE Rejuvenating Tendering Bio-Cellulose Mask - Full review link! 心得文連結! Potentially: Joyeux Jacq
[不推薦]Clinique Instant Lift for Brows "01 Soft Blonde" - Non Jacq - The brow end is alright, but the highlight end has no use, to me at least. Finished the brow end, and coincidentally the opposite end fell off. Phew.
Body and Hair / don't have much to say about them...
[不推薦]*Natio For Men Daily Face Wash - Non Jacq - Used this as shower gel.
[普通]*Rene Furterer Tonucia Anti-Age Toning and Densifying Shampoo - Just Jacq
[普通]*Rene Furterer Tonucia Anti-Age Toning and Densifying Conditioner - Just Jacq
[很不錯]Kerasys Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner - Joyeux Jacq - I'm more than happy to use the remaining bottles up.
[超推薦]*Nuxe Reve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream - Black Jacq - This stuff smells divine. I will definitely repurchase! Thanks MissNoire for introducing me to this~
[不推薦]*Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion - Non Jacq
Random Food :P
Funghi Cola Gummy Candies - Tasted just like other Cola candies, but I heart the Funghi/ Mushroom Garden therefore I had to try these. Joyeux Jacq
Rilakkuma Biscuit Sticks - Bought it purely for its packaging. Didn't taste any special. In fact, I have already forgotten how it tasted. Just Jacq
Other Random
[普通]Sasatinnie Flower Embossed Cotton Pad - Just Jacq - Too flimpsy, although pretty~
[普通]Rohto C3 Moist Contact Lens Solution - (maybe Just Jacq) - I don't wear contacts, therefore I had to finish this as a false lashes 'solution', soaking them before I peel off the glue and such....
[普通]Ikea Tindra Candle "Pink" - Just Jacq
[不推薦]Kiehl's "Vanilla & Cedarwood" - Non Jacq - Not my cup of tea, not something I'd wear on myself.
[很不錯]*Jurlique Eucalyptus Pure Essential Oil - Joyeux Jacq - Very invigorating.
[雷]Konad Top Coat - What the Jacq? - Make your nail art underneath smudges...
[普通]AFU Pelargonium Graveolens Essential Oil - Just Jacq
[很不錯]Suqqu Powder Foundation Compact Sponge - Joyeux Jacq
|Tossed 1/3
MAC old lipgloss - Back 2 MAC
Shiseido Brow Pencil, Jealousness Eyeliner, Sharpeners, Brushes and another Brow Pencil...
Skin Care - mostly expired.

(No Brand) Glycerin - Purchased years ago when DIY mixing medium was the hottest experiment to do at home
TKB Trading - Purchased years ago when I thought I would have time to make my own make up.

A bill that has passed in the State Assembly would classify simple drug possession as a "wobbler" offense. That means prosecutors could choose to treat it as either a misdemeanor or a felony.
Democratic Assemblywoman Toni Atkins said 13 other states already treat simple possession as a misdemeanor.
"And what have we seen in those misdemeanor states?" she asked. "Lower rates of drug use among minors and adults. Higher rates of entry into drug treatment. Lower rates of violent crime. Lower rates of property crime on the average."
But Republican Assemblyman Don Wagner said the bill minimizes the consequences of drug addiction and weakens existing laws.
"If it becomes law, we have effectively sent a terrible message to drug users, to their families and to those around them that the state doesn't care about the possession of such drugs," he said.
The bill passed with the minimum 41 votes needed. It now heads back to the Senate for a final vote.

In the half light
of a personal past
I see her
The crazy woman of the village.
Smiling at us
hurling advice
and crying, complaining
about the mis-treatment
by the master of the house.
A summer-visit by us
from the city
seemed her only sense of joy.
But to us children
she appeared
even more childish.
A mechanized doll
pretty with Jasmine flowers
well dewed
but unable to prune to the deserve.
The lashes every night
that is drunk on people's mistakes
only burnt her skin
into a terrain devoid of feeling.
She would cry out
into an emptiness
which clutches my arm, even now
in a strength and urgency to act.
And out of helplessness
I now daringly presume
that she is finally resting
in some peace of a distant solitude.
And her skin torched by the whip
is alive moving in the underground
forming rivers, mountains and fields.
The geography of suffering and pain.

(1973- )
I feel a strong connection to my cultural roots, particularly since returning from 12 years in the UK and Europe. Embracing my heritage the work reflects cultural influences and my interest in the awakening of consciousness.
I am a full-time artist, being essentially self-taught I endeavor through my work to express my love of pattern and form primarily through the use of negative spaces and the combining of opalescent and transparent glasses.
My glass work is kiln formed, created in my studio which is in a verdant, rural setting so typical of New Zealand offering space and a serene tranquility essential to my creative process.
My first introduction to glass was about 14 years ago in London, where I met Danny Lane a celebrated international glass sculptor. His work had a truly profound impact on me, I knew right then that at some point I would work with glass.
My work is mainly fused and slumped glass. I find this process enables me to realize my designs most of which are influenced by my Maori and New Zealand heritage combined with inspiration drawn from a sense of connection to the land, bush and sea.
It is my desire to create work that aside from the innate beauty of glass also reflects a sense of my emotion and spirit… my journey.

Shows with deep mythology and strong serialized storytelling are rare these days. But undaunted, the creators and writers of Fox's mid-season series ALCATRAZ chose to jump right in and brought to screen a murky and mysterious story about how in 1963, the remaining 302 inmates and guards of Alcatraz suddenly disappeared. Then one day, they began to reappear, one-by-one with hidden agendas, personal vendettas, and a whole lot of repressed rage ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting populace of nearby San Francisco. The intervening 50 years have done little to temper the boiling emotions contained in hearts and minds of hardened criminals who were never supposed to walk as free men again.
With only the final 2-hour finale left to air of the first season, the biggest question is: Will we get answers before the show ends with only a speculative possibility of renewal for a second season for ALCATRAZ? That question may linger until Fox announces its Fall programming pickups and renewals in May.
Thus, for now, we must be content with hoping for answers to the other questions which fans are dying to know answers for: What are the secret properties of Rebecca's (Sarah Jones) grandfather's blood that Warden James (Jonny Coyne) is obsessed with? What is in Tommy Madsen's (David Hoflin) blood that makes him so special and unique? And do those unique blood-properties have anything to do with the bizzaro-versions of the inmates that have come back and gone on killing sprees in our present timeline? For not every inmate of Alcatraz in 1963 was a cold-blooded killer; yet after being dosed with Tommy's blood, the non-violent criminals have turned into alternate-versions of themselves – coming back meaner, more destructive, and completely lacking in remorse for their new heightened crimes. It is as if the blood turns people into sociopaths.
And if it is not the blood, then what? Is it Dr. Beauregard's (Leon Rippy) extreme psychological brain washing techniques that is wholly responsible? Or was there some other experiment performed on the inmates of Alcatraz that so altered their brain-chemistry as to transform each exposed person into extreme versions of themselves?
Finally, how in the world did Lucy (Parminder Nagra) and the other guards get exposed to Tommy's blood or other contaminant such that they too were transported through time to our present day timeline, as if not a day had gone by?
We have learned that the mysterious "colloidal silver" element in Tommy's blood and which can be found in some of the other returnees has the ability to promote rapid healing. It likely also slows down aging – effectively putting a living human being into a "live" cryogenic state. Frozen in time. But then where are the 1963 disappearees? Where have them been kept for nearly 50 years and how are they suddenly reappearing at random locations and times in the present day?
Better yet, who is behind this all? Is it in fact Warden James? Or is he merely a puppet assisting a yet-unknown criminal mastermind? Was, in fact, the intent behind these experiments diabolical, or was there a more altruistic purpose intended? And if so, what went wrong? Are the returnees merely those who have "escaped"? They found a way to slip through the cracks of time and space and reinsert themselves back into our present day world.
As hinted at in the following interviews with the shows creators, producers and cast from WonderCon last week, things are not exactly going according to plan for anyone. Something has contravened the original intent and purpose behind the disappearance in 1963 – if that was even supposed to occur at all.
Regardless of whether we get all the answers we are dying to know, ALCATRAZ certainly created a world in which it is intriguing to figure out the overall mystery and exactly where all the puzzle pieces fit. If one were to play at being a criminal mastermind, setting up the chessboard with each character as a key piece would be fascinating. There is Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill), now an FBI agent, who was once a guard on Alcatraz and who just coincidentally missed out on vanishing like everyone else – who knew that one day all those who disappeared would have to reappear and who vowed to be ready when they did. There is Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones), whose uncle was a guard at Alcatraz and whose grandfather was an inmate – one of the first returnees to have been seen in our modern day timeline and whose blood is highly sought after. There is Doc Soto (Jorge Garcia), the historian who knows more about Alcatraz than any other living sole and who is recruited to aid in the search for the returnees. And then there is Lucy (Parminder Nagra), the psychiatrist brought aboard in 1960 to help with the inmates – and who somehow shared in their disappearing fate. It is much too much of a coincidence for all these people to just happen to be in the right place at the right time just as the returnees are coming back. What is the common thread that ties them all together? Is it fate or destiny? Or is there something more that brought them together at such a pivotal time?
Answers or not, the first season of ALCATRAZ has been a fascinating journey. It posed thought-provoking questions about medical advances, the right to experiment on prisoners, prisoner rights, and what our responsibilities would be if such an incredible event actually had occurred. With our love of science fiction, for some, it is not entirely inconceivable that such an event could have occurred. The best question of all has been: What would you do? Is it enough to round them all up, re-capturing the returnees? Or should a more extreme and lethal method be imposed because they should never have returned in the first place? Or should we use them to better understand the limitations of time and space, subjecting them yet again to the torment of being human "guinea pigs" or "lab rats"? Given the little regard each has demonstrated towards their fellow human beings, it would seem that the returnees are hardly human anymore. Have they relinquished the most basic of human rights because they have rejected their own humanity?
Hopefully, the 2-hour finale of ALCATRAZ provides enough answers that we will be satisfied no matter how much longer the story goes. To see what is revealed, be sure to tune in on Monday, March 26th at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.

Book: The Christmas Chronicles: The Legend of Santa Claus by Tim Slover
Recommended by: Debbie
This is a fun, imaginative version of how Santa became Santa, starting with the orphan, Klaus, who was taken in by a guild of craftsmen in 1343. After the Black Death had swept through the land, he made toys for all the surviving children in his village and delivered them, with the priest's blessing, on Christmas Eve to put some joy back into their lives. Those children told the children from other villages, and Klaus, not wanting to disappoint any of them, found himself with more deliveries to make than he could do in one night. Enter his (soon to be) wife, Anna, and her reindeer, Dasher. (The magic and the flying come in later.)

At least 13 dead after train derails in India
A passenger train has derailed in western India, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than 100, an official said.
The engine and four coaches jumped the tracks near Roha station, 70 miles south of Mumbai, said police officer Ankush Shinde.
The rescuers used gas cutters to open the derailed coaches to reach those trapped inside. Cranes were deployed to remove these coaches from the rail track.
Two of the derailed coaches tilted on to one side and one overturned, said railway spokesman Anil Kumar Saxena.
The rescue operation was continuing and the death toll was expected to rise, police said.
Mr Saxena said that 123 injured passengers, some of them in serious condition, were taken to hospital.
The cause of the derailment was not immediately known. Rail authorities ordered an investigation into the accident, Mr Saxena said.
Train movement in the area was suspended as the derailed coaches and the rescue operation blocked an adjacent track as well.
Railway accidents are common in India, which has one of the world's largest train networks and serves 20 million passengers a day.
Most accidents are blamed on poor maintenance and human error.
