Dropping from Shopping: When Buying Gets Out of Hand
Writing on an eating disorders message board, Kristi (not her real name) gives a compelling account of another addiction:
Last night I went to three different stores and spent several hundred dollars in, oh, an hour or so. What did I buy? I have no idea. Lots of clothes. Do I need any clothes? No. I still have shopping bags laying on the floor from my last shopping trip that I haven't even opened. It's just like something I feel like I have to do or I'll literally panic and I'm in almost a trance when I do it. Then I get home and throw the bags on the floor and they stay there until I decide I want to see what's in them. Last night was like a shopping binge. Just like a food binge or an alcohol binge. I think it serves the same purpose for me. I was completely numbed out when I was buying all this stuff. I have maxed out two Mastercards and I'm well on my way with another. I'm in so much debt it's not even funny. So, I'm doing well with my eating disorder and drinking right now, but as you can see I'm far from OK. I still need an addiction. Why does it always have to be something? I'm also getting ready to give up all my credit cards to a consumer credit agency, so I hope that will help. Otherwise, I'll be in even worse trouble bouncing hot checks everywhere.
By whatever name — compulsive shopping, shopping disorder or shopping addiction — Kristi is describing a type of craving that is causing serious problems in her life.
She could be talking about an addiction to alcohol or gambling or sex, says Jerrold Pollak, Ph.D., a psychologist with Seacoast Mental Health Center in Portsmouth, N.H. "Compulsive shopping is not a well-defined disorder, and it's not a stand-alone condition. It's usually linked to other problems such as depression, anxiety or self-esteem issues."
Binge Shopping
Just as Kristi is trying to overcome an eating disorder and drinking problem, shopping is often only one addiction a person is battling.
"It's not unusual for a person to have several addictions, and one gets worse when another seems to be getting better," said Tom Horvath, Ph.D., author of "Sex, Drugs, Gambling and Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions."
The behavior itself, Pollak says, seems to serve to provide relief for depression or anxiety or to bolster self-esteem. In that regard, out-of-control shopping is like a lot of other conditions and can serve as a psychological defense.
"It has the same trajectory cycle as other addictive behaviors. An urge builds to the point that a person gives into it. The activity itself may offer a rush of euphoria. Then comes the crash and remorse, accompanied by a great deal of shame and guilt," said Pollak, who has treated a number of compulsive spenders. Compulsive shopping may have a biochemical component, Pollak suggests. And one of the first things that needs to occur is a screening for bipolar disorder because excessive spending often is seen in the manic or hypomanic phase of that disorder. However, most compulsive spenders do not have this condition.
Who Is a Compulsive Shopper?
It is s believed that women are more affected by the disorder. However, Pollak points out that men are less likely to join research efforts or acknowledge such problems. In broad categories, women generally buy cosmetics, clothing and jewelry, while men tend to purchase electronics or sports equipment. Some compulsive shoppers buy only certain items. Pollak recalls a patient who was obsessed with purchasing movie promotional items, for example.
"To look at the person, you would have no idea they have a problem," said Catherine Steinberg, M.A., M.F.T., a marriage and family therapist who facilitates groups for compulsive shoppers in Guilford, Conn. "They tend to be higher energy and generally don't appear to be depressed."
But underneath that exterior is someone who, she says, often doesn't feel good enough, so being dressed well and wearing lots of jewelry is used to enhance a weak self-image.
"Some people," Steinberg said, "don't have a lot going on in their lives, so shopping is a way to fill time. Or looking for bargain buys becomes a form of excitement for them. Some women will track prices for months. This is an adventure for them and gives them a sense of accomplishment when they finally purchase something at a rock-bottom price."

Five fashion mistakes you're probably making right now
Here are five of some of the most common fashion mistakes men make and advice on correcting them
Buttoning a suit
If your suit jacket has two or more buttons, the bottom button must never be buttoned. It just looks better and cuts a cleaner silhouette. There's a practical element to this rule as well. It's a preventative measure to make sure that the button doesn't pop out when you sit down.
Trousers that are too long
If your suit pants are covering half of your shoe and a bit is mopping the floor as you walk, you need to either put that pair in the bin or have them tailored. If your pants simply must touch your shoes, then they shouldn't extend as far as the the shoelaces. If you're a champion of the ankle-bearing movement, then cropping your pants to end just above your ankle is also an option.
Wearing loose-fitting clothes
While you might feel that loose-fitting clothes hide the right areas, they also make you look broader and – possibly – sloppy. In the same breath, you shouldn't go too tight either – but we'll deal with that later in the article.
Considering the tie length
One's tie should reach the middle of one's belt buckle and should never hang any lower than that. A tie that's too long or too short makes you look sloppy and disorganised and generally leaves a bad impression.
Wearing clothes that are too tight
While we're all for slim-fits, many guys take it too far. A garment that's slim-fit is only meant to look fitted, not make you look as though your breath is being sucked out of your lungs with every movement. If you can't fit your index finger into your shirt cuff, maybe the shirt is a bit too "slim-fit" for you.

The lowdown
Eighty protesters from ActionAid and Survival International demonstrated outside British mining firm Vedanta Resources' AGM last week. They were joined by human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger, musician Nitin Sawhney and Dongria Kondh tribe's representative Sitaram Kulisika. ActionAid bought a single share for Kulisika so he could attend the AGM and make his voice heard. Jagger called on investors to rethink their involvement with Vedanta. Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy sent a message of solidarity to the protesters.
Why the protest?
The group wants Vedanta to stop its plans to build a bauxite mine on a mountain in India, which is sacred to the Dongria Kondh tribe. ActionAid said the destruction of an equivalent cultural site would not be tolerated in the UK.
How Vedanta responded
Vedanta said the Indian supreme court had taken account of local people's views and approved its plans. It also said the project would bring benefits.
How the media covered it
A story on the BBC website stated: 'Critics say the Vedanta operation is a social and environmental disaster.' An article in The Guardian focused on how the Church of England has been asked to use its investor status to stop the mining plans.

Rapper salutes the slave trade
The instances of racism that make me the most sad are those that are internalized racism. When I was living in Africa, I saw it a lot. One time, I was riding a bus and we were at one of the standard security checkpoints. The soldier checking our papers started by saying that although he had black skin, he had a mind like a white man, so we better not try to get anything over on him. In this country, I think that the problem is perhaps even more severe. The only things that most Americans of any race learn about Africa are the old colonial images of spear-chucking savages, and the more modern images of Rwandan style civil war. If this is all that young Black people are learning about Africans, then is it surprising that they consider European involvement — any European involvement — to be beneficial? Soulja boy got a lot of bad press for his "shout out to the slave masters", but really this is a failure of education which is much more endemic than one rapper.

Christmas is here
The AMD guideline is out
p150 odd onwards of the full guideline is the business end
it is largely as expected
very clear (& exceptionally detailed) appraisal of the evidence base around the management of AMD.
For me (and many) we were all waiting for this CG to see the light of day for one reason, and one reason alone
the guidline is excellent, comprehensive but…….completely ducks the elephant in the recomendaitons section … institutional risk management Im sure.
beyond the avastin issue – there are many mighty helpful snippets
I keep getting asked, and I have updated my (sadly very detailed – theres a lot of geekiness here) paper on avastin in opth.
worth recalling that NICE = AMD.
There's plenty of RCT evidence in DMO that says – all drugs are equal. And growing evidence base in RVO
Words like "class effect" spring to mind
The briefing can be accessed here.
NB and health warning Im not a lawyer, but I have a reasonable handle on this one.
use or abuse as you see fit.
Of note the RCOPTH have been active recently in this space

In an article in The Sunday Times, Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards has said that any Conservative Leadership candidate supporting a No Deal will immediately face and likely lose a no confidence vote.
A number of Conservative MPs have already said that they would back a move to oust a PM seeking to deliver a No Deal Brexit.
Mr Edwards said that a successful no confidence vote could be followed by the creation of a "rainbow coalition" of MPs from all parties to deliver the legislation necessary for a fresh EU referendum.
This would allow for a referendum to be delivered as quickly as possible, with a minimal, if any, further extension required to the Article 50 period. Mr Edwards argues that a General Election before a People's Vote, as is Labour's preference, would only prolong the uncertainty and create an even more unstable Parliament.
Following a People's Vote a General Election could then be held, the Plaid Cymru MP writes, to allow for a "parliament and government for the long-haul" to be elected.
In the article, Jonathan Edwards MP writes:
"With the keys to No 10 in the hands of a 'no dealer', most likely Boris Johnson, an urgent no confidence motion will be sought. MPs from almost every party – including many on the Conservative benches – have said that they would back any measure to stop a Prime Minister who was unilaterally taking us out of the EU on No Deal basis.
"It is likely, therefore, that a block of Conservative MPs, joining with opposition parties, will vote down a Prime Minister committed to No Deal before he or she even moves into Downing Street. We would have a Prime Ministership that was dead on arrival.
"Under the rules set out in the Fixed Term Parliament Act, a successful no confidence motion would then lead to a 14-day period in which a new government could be formed. In those 14 days I believe there is an opportunity to re-shape Parliament. A chance to create a pro-People's Vote majority with a single purpose – to deliver the legislation for a fresh referendum.
"Already Members from across all-parties represented in Parliament (bar the DUP) work together with this one aim in mind. It doesn't take a great leap of faith to see us take the next step.
"That, admittedly fragile, rainbow-coalition of MPs from all parties would not need to last long and would have a single unifying purpose – a People's Vote.
"With the legislation passed through Parliament as quickly as is reasonable, it is feasible that a referendum could be held within the current extension and a clear approach to Brexit – mandated by the people – is wrapped up before the end of October.
"We could then move on to a General Election to form a Parliament and government for the long-haul."

Psychedelic arcade cat adventure PUSS! came out on Steam
Ukrainian studio teamCOIL released a game on Steam about cats, dolphins and other oddities. In the psychedelic arcade PUSS! it's about a cat that jumped into the monitor and found itself in another dimension. How exactly it happened, you can see in the trailer ten-hour length.
The gameplay is easy to manage, you can manage with one hand. In fact, the game is much more difficult. Everything the cat touches outside of the narrow path causes damage to it. You have to be very careful and accurately calculate the movements to get to the portal. And behind the portal opens a new location, and randomly. At the same time, the whole picture is constantly twitching, various objects are flying along the screen, and there are also enough enemies who are not averse to taking care of a poor cat. So it's not everyone who can get out of a long labyrinth.
To understand what awaits us in this psychedelic mess, you can download a free demo.

Back when I had a Wordpress blog and had hundreds, even thousands of readers per day (not sure why that changed when I went to Blogger), every year on 9-11, I'd post a picture of a flag, with four simple words under it - Always remember, never forget.
This year, while of course I will always remember and never, ever forget that day in 2001 when our entire world changed, two years ago I made a happy memory to help with a sad day.
Two years ago on this day, Lonnie and I drove to Oklahoma and picked up our new puppy. We named her Liberty Belle in honor of this day. She has been the sweetest, most wonderful dog I could ask for.
Here are some pictures from that day.
She turned two in July. We love her. She's a great dog.
Happy Gotcha Day, Libby!

Members of the Long Island Latino Teachers Association (LILTA) visited El Salvador to learn about the Central American country's educational system in order to foster the integration of students migrating from El Salvador to Long Island, New York.
"We have thousands of students arriving from El Salvador to our Brentwood, Hempstead, Central Islip, Freeport, Huntington and South Huntington classrooms. Most of them come from the west of the country and have troubled academic histories and high levels of violent experiences," said LILTA President Dafny J. Irizarry about the trip the group took to El Salvador from Aug. 7 to 14 accompanied by Salvadoran Consul on Long Island Miguel Alas Sevillano.
Irizarry explained that Long Island school districts experienced a massive influx of Hispanic students who crossed the border into the United States between 2015 and 2017. In order to obtain legal status, USCIS requires immigrant youths to attend school.
"We thought that traveling to El Salvador would be a good way to understand, learn and gather information about the country's educational system so we can integrate these students to ours. We found that the way they organize their educational levels is different from the way we do it. For instance, theirs is divided into three cycles between first and ninth grade, while students here are entering high school in ninth grade," said Irizarry. "In El Salvador, education is not the only problem. Violence is the biggest obstacle, and there are schools where there are up to two maras (gangs)."
She continued: "One of the ways in which Salvadoran teachers fight violence is by forbidding students from bringing phones to school." (…)
The language barrier
"When students arrive on Long Island, they take a test and we open a file on them. That way, we can measure their knowledge of geography, mathematics, etc., and we start working with them in their ESL classes, which are mandated by law if there are more than 20 students speaking the same language in a class (in this case Spanish)," said Irizarry.
"Students come to the U.S. with great needs, and they face obstacles such as the English language, a new culture, living with people they do not know, they are in debt with their smuggler, have to pay rent… They come to this country to live a grown-up's life and these necessities make them quit school. That is where we have a duty to create programs and activities that complement the school system and try to connect with them to help them out. For instance, we have after-school multicultural clubs," she explained.
(…) Counselor Laura Rivera said: "Many children come traumatized by incidents at the border. They go through a lot of violence on their way here. Some parents accept the psychological treatment we provide, but others don't."
There is also the sensitive topic of children separated from their parents at the border. "ICE said that six Salvadoran children arrived at the Mercy shelter on Long Island, where they continue to receive the same services as the rest of the kids who are going to school, only they never leave the center. While they are there, a legal custody process begins until their fate is decided, whether it is reunification with their parents or with a relative," said Salvadoran Consul Alas Sevillano.

compiling customized questions to ask in seeing what kinds of information and reflections can come from interviewing is a smart route not only for copy. and while interviewing to create articles, biographies, press releases, newsletters, blog posts, brochures, and other kinds of written content is a great research approach to use, questions posed by voice recording and video to document a story offer an eye into the nuances of personality and character with more sound-specific and visual depth. and when we're more human with each other, our connections lend themselves to lessons well-worth absorbing.
"our fourth-graders were so completely enthralled with each step of the process as they were guided and encouraged by jennifer to create their own animal poetry. her approach helped every single child to produce lines of expressive poetry. both the children and teachers loved working with her."
julie kline, supervisor of language arts & ESL for exeter township school district - www.exeter.k12.pa.us
"jennifer is a phenomenal proofreader and editor who i have been using for a couple of years. she is talented, amazingly quick, extremely reliable, and a joy to work with. i love that she strives to understand my industry, and she gives me peace of mind with the service she provides. and she's a great human being."
thanh nguyen, CMO of the standard group - www.standardgroup.com
"storytelling is a great way to draw the reader into a subject. jennifer 'told my story' in a number of written pieces. her interview questions caused me to consider aspects of my business that i would not have thought to share. the projects from concept to completion were finished on time and in a professional manner. jennifer's writing style is unique and demands attention."
daryl mast, owner of doorstep dairy - doorstepdairy.com
"jennifer's scene composition and use of lighting tones creates a sense of feeling and place for our town's website, brochures, and large-scale posters. she captures the exact feeling we wanted but couldn't describe. it's a pleasure to work with her."
tom gosse, member of the board of directors for building a better boyertown & advisor with SCORE tricounty - boyertownpa.org & tricounty.score.org
"she pulled all the right comments out of the interview." in other words – thanks for making us appear as awesome in print as we try to be in our business! thanks again for sharing your talents with our firm and putting together this excellent article."
kirsten deysher, business relations manager of liberty environmental, inc., which has offices in reading, lancaster, and philadelphia as well as new york city and atlanta - libertyenviro.com
"jennifer takes uncommon initiative in performing all sorts of tasks which enable studio b to serve many members of its surrounding communities. she organizes and facilitates poetry readings, attends local writers' events, and promotes the many events and activities which are happening at studio b. her extraordinary commitment and involvement are unbounded."
jane stahl, community relations director of studio b, an art gallery - studiobbb.org
"jennifer exhibits a true passion for everything she does. jennifer is extremely self-motivated and independent. during our time working together, she took on extensive projects, and not once did she ever disappoint. the readers enjoyed the stories she put out, including series on local farms, artists and small businesses. in a world in which we are constantly surrounded by tragedy and "breaking news," jennifer instead focused on the good in the people and places around us. it's a refreshing trait. i would gladly work with jennifer again and recommend her to any potential employers in the future."
kevin haslam, editor, entrepreneur, author, fitness, coach, experienced project & people manager
"she is the perfect interviewer who has wonderful listening skills. when reading the final story, you realize just how good of a good listener she is. jennifer knows how to set goals, working to achieve them. and jennifer gives great thought to everyone in her life and is very dedicated to her work."

Every kindergarten teacher and other staff has an opportunity to join a union in Norway. There are two main unions that represent the sector – Utdanningsforbundet for the kindergarten teachers and pedagogues, and Fagforbundet which represents skilled workers (community college credential) and all other staff in the kindergartens.
The wage rates are very similar no matter where a kindergarten teacher works – private or public sector – and are based on education and years of experience. Contracts are negotiated every two years. This is a complex process that we will describe later in our report.

Mayor Emanuel, City Colleges of Chicago honor graduating Star Scholars
Northwestern Provost Holloway joins celebration of grads heading to four-year colleges
Northwestern University Provost Jonathan Holloway joined Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other leaders for the 2018 Star Scholarship Celebration Aug. 21 to honor recent City Colleges of Chicago Star Scholar graduates who have transferred to four-year institutions. Northwestern will welcome four Star Scholars to campus this fall.
This is Northwestern's second year participating in the initiative, which rewards industrious CPS students with an opportunity to pursue a degree or certificate at City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) at no-cost. Universities across Chicago have partnered with City Colleges to provide additional financial aid to Star Scholars seeking to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
"Northwestern University is deeply committed to making college more affordable for talented, hard-working students, and we greatly value our partnership with Chicago and with the City Colleges of Chicago to assist low- and middle-income students with scholarships to help toward their degrees here," said Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro.
"We especially welcome community college transfers, who bring a unique perspective to campus," President Schapiro added. "We appreciate the strong leadership from the mayor and City Colleges on this program that ensures such critical opportunities for these students."
CCC Chancellor Juan Salgado kicked off the evening at the Harold Washington Library in Chicago with remarks celebrating the diligent work and commitment of the Star Scholars, thanking their parents for their support and recognizing the university partners in attendance.
Mayor Emanuel spoke movingly about the importance of access to college and his goal to ensure committed students and their families don't defer college dreams due to costs.
The highlight of the evening was a panel discussion featuring current Star Scholars, college advisors and a mother-daughter pair — Eileen and Amy Szkorla — who spoke about their experiences with City Colleges and the Star Scholarship program. After studying at Wright College for two years, Amy Szkorla will transfer in the fall to Northwestern, where she plans to enroll in Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences to study biology.
More than 445 Star Scholar graduates have transferred to four-year colleges and universities since 2016, and many of the college and university partners have increased the number of Star Scholar transfer students accepted in the same time period.
"The Star Scholarship is about helping our hard-working students pursue the high-quality education they deserve without the burden of cost to receiving a degree, and I am incredibly proud of the hundreds of students who are now pursuing the future they deserve," said Mayor Emanuel. "Our many college and university partners see the promise of our graduates and have been eager to help supports hundreds of students to pursue a four-year degree at an affordable price."
Students in the Star Scholarship program are projected to graduate at a rate double the national average for first-time, full-time students at two-year public institutions. The 2018 Star Scholarship preliminary IPEDS graduation rate, which includes the Fall 2015 class, is 47 percent.
"Star is more than just a scholarship. It's a tool that challenges our students to succeed," said Salgado. "When ninth grade CPS students know that working hard guarantees them a tuition-free college experience, it gives them one extra motivator to keep their grades up."
More than 800 students have graduated from City Colleges as part of the Star Scholarship program. Now entering its fourth year, the Chicago Star Scholarship has helped more than 5,300 CPS graduates — representing more than 75 zip codes and more than 200 high schools citywide — to enroll in college at no cost.
To date, Star Scholars have been earned more than $3.1 million in scholarship offers from Northwestern and other four-year colleges and universities, which include DePaul University, Dominican University, Governors State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University, National Louis University, North Park University, Roosevelt University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Sixty-four percent of Star Scholars are Latino, and 60 percent are female. This program is open to undocumented students as well as to students attending CPS charter schools.

Edgar Allan Poe con The Black Cat (Reading Script Only)
This is in radio script format. It is an adaptation of the short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Allan, living with his wife and Pluto, his black cat, has been having problems. He reads about microwaves jumping off power transformers. He thinks this might be causing the problems. His problems become more intense. One night Allan returns home drunk and gouges his pet cat's eye out with a knife. A few weeks later, apparently because he feels guilty when he looks at the one-eyed cat, Allan takes the cat into the back yard and hangs him. That night his house burns down. Later, when Allan looks at the ruins, he discovers what he thinks is the shape of a cat hanging from a noose outlined on the one standing wall, that above his bed.Allan and his wife move to a new house. Allan continues to drink, and, one night, in the local bar, he finds and adopts another black cat exactly like Pluto. Several weeks later, when Allan, axe in hand, goes down to the cellar to break up some kindling for the winter, his new cat runs under his feet and nearly causes him to fall. He raises the axe, intending to hurl it at the cat, but his wife grabs his arm, and he kills her instead.He thinks of ways of disposing of the body and eventually decides to tear down a brick wall in the cellar and seal her body up behind it. He does this and is very proud of his work. A policeman questions Allan about his wife's disappearance, but the officer's questions are too easily answered; he doesn't even search the house. Allan feels he needs more of a challenge. A few days later, two more policemen search the house thoroughly. They search the cellar last, and, as they are about to leave, Allan proudly slaps on the very wall behind which he has buried his wife's body. The officers hear something that sounds like a baby crying from behind the wall. They get crowbars and break down the wall to find Allan's wife's body with the one-eyed black cat sitting on her head.

Dubai, November 2018
In November, Alcantara played a leading role, together with Alfa Romeo EMEA, at the annual event organised by the Esquire Middle East magazine, held at XXII CARAT VILLA – THE PALM, in Dubai, renamed the Townhouse for the occasion. The partners (including Moreschi, Bremont Watches and Hackett) each took a room of the villa, customising it with a display of its product portfolio. Alcantara shared a space with Alfa Romeo and set it up as an imaginary wardrobe, called "The Alcantara closet", with everyday items and more. This contained the garments from the latest SS collection by Andrea Incontri (garments, bags and shoes), some hi-tech co-marketing objects (Sennheiser headphones and the Microsoft Surface) as well as accessories from previous partnerships, all covered in Alcantara. All partners in the event were involved in a series of activities with the press, such as talks and themed workshops, for a total of three days.
Milan, September 2018
Introducing the first womenswear collection by Andrea Incontri for Alcantara. Incontri has created a wardrobe with a strong personality for the Alcantara woman, exploiting the material's high performance by applying it to the latest fashion trends. The collection is made up of influences, of apparent contradictions that instead blend harmoniously together: high-tech and tailoring, street style and couture approaches. Using Alcantara as a raw material, Incontri has created a mix that puts a futuristic spin on tradition. From the coat, the quintessential symbol of Italian elegance, to the skirt that plays the central role of garment-accessory, for an intentionally eccentric style statement. Highly consistent juxtapositions: animal prints and certification of a fully "animal-friendly" production process, namely without the use of animal derivatives. In keeping with the new partnerships project with top names in Italian manufacturing, Andrea Incontri has designed sandals, boots and pumps made out of Alcantara by Sergio Rossi.
Venice, August 2018
Alcantara was honoured to be a partner – together with Connect4Climate-WorldBank and philanthropist Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Productions – of X-Ray Fashion, the virtual reality experience created by MANND and directed by the famous fashion photographer and filmmaker Francesco Carrozzini (Franca: Chaos and Creation). X-Ray Fashion was presented at the 75th Venice International Film Festival. The fashion industry accounts for 20% of global waste and 10% of global CO2 emissions. Fashion is often associated with human rights abuses including hazardous working conditions, long hours and more besides. X-Ray Fashion explored the dark side of the industry and its impact on climate change with an immersive, multi-sensory installation. X-Ray Fashion has promoted major initiatives and become an advocate for greater sustainability in the sector.
Venice, May 2018
Multiforms, Declinations Between Space And Time is an exhibition supported and organized by Alcantara for Palazzo Rocca Contarini Corfù in Venice as part of the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, open from 24 May to 27 June.

The exhibition organized by Alcantara aims to respond to the theme chosen by the Biennale, "Freespace", presenting the selected works in a completely new setting, seeking to establish a connection with history and working towards an idea of an imagined future, as an infinite source of creative potential.
Beijing, April 2018
Alcantara, ambassador of Italian excellence worldwide, has chosen Beijing and the artistic surroundings of the Chao Hotel in the capital's chic Sanlitun area to host Alcantara Drives Dreams, an exclusive show to bring luxury lifestyle into reality, curated by revered veteran artist and designer Rebecca Moses. Alcantara Drives Dreams, a creative tribute to one of Alcantara's key assets and distinguishing features – versatility – is held during the Beijing Motor Show to underscore its special relationship with the global automotive industry. In Alcantara Drives Dreams, the installations take guests on a journey of the mind and spirit, where everyday elements push the boundaries of imagination.
Milan, April 2018
Alcantara unveiled during the 2018 Design Week the Interior Capsule Collection INITIAL, a brand-new furnishing project. The collection, entirely made by Alcantara® electrowelded, available in different colours, consists of alphabet letters that chameleon-like turn into pieces of furniture that inspire and amaze: upside-down Ts and Ls that become columns with seats, O-shaped screens, Us that divide up spaces, pouffes in the shape of As, Cs and Is. INITIAL reflects all Alcantara's values and celebrates its inimitable soft-touch, versatility and sustainable soul. The INITIAL pieces have also been protagonist of the Vanity Fair Green House, a project in partnership with Vanity Fair: a green spot in Milan to take a regenerating break, during the Design Week, decorated with the elements of the collection.
Milan, April 2018
Nine Journeys Through Time. Alcantara and Art in the Apartment of the Prince is an exhibition promoted and produced by the Municipality of Milan – Culture, Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace) and Alcantara, conceived especially for the rooms of the Apartment of the Prince, and open to the public from 5 April to 13 May, curated by Davide Quadrio and Massimo Torrigiani. With this new project, the Company continues its original research and development activities, opening up once again to both established and emerging artists from various fields of contemporary creativity, inviting them to get to grips with original, complex and unique works of art. In Nine Journeys Through Time, offering an exceptional combination of talents, 10 artistic approaches are brought together through 9 projects (Esther Stocker and Iris van Herpen have come up with a joint project) in a range of media.

San Servolo, Venice, February 2018
After six years of experimentation with the material and as many group shows involving more than 30 designers and national or international studios, the Alcantara – MAXXI project takes a new and unusual course, renewing its contents. With the Studio Visit program, the exhibitions become monographs: each year a well-established designer is invited to participate and design a space inside the museum that reflects his or her personal interpretation of a work from the permanent collection. The first appointment was from February 2 to 25, 2018 with Nanda Vigo presenting Arch / arcology curated by Domitilla Dardi. Selected for her research and interior design ability, Nanda Vigo designed for MAXXI a space that visitors can enter and move around in, created as a tribute to the visionary architect Paolo Soleri whose works are on display in the MAXXI Architettura collection. At the centre of the hall, composed of three walls designed as a black backdrop and open at the front, the designer created a sculpture representing the Single Cantilever bridge, one of Soleri's designs from the 1960s. On the walls were displayed three-dimensional developments of some designs that the architect had represented only in drawings. This space/installation which after the exhibition will join the MAXXI Architettura permanent collection, was made entirely of Alcantara®, a material that, as always, reveals exceptional application qualities which are also required for conceptual research.

Running low on material and I've been terrible on commenting on my friends' posts. New dimensions in overwork, or unfortunately, as St. Louisan Yogi Berra put it, deja vu all over again. So we got a couple of shots of the crimson mob entering Busch Stadium. The crowds are always enthusiastic, sometimes to the point of wackiness.

Anna Dressed in Blood
Kendare Blake
Tor Teen, Aug 30 2011, $17.99
Cas Lowood is a chip off the old block just like his late dad was a chip off the old block and if he has a kid too, etc. His widow mom the witch supports her teenage son as he does the family vocation ghost hunting.
Cas' latest mission is to kill Anna of the white dress that she wore when she was murdered back in '58, dripping blood and infamy for slicing and dicing those who inanely dare enter her haunt. When Cas enters her house in Thunder Bay, Ontario; Anna is confused that her out of control obsession to kill fails to deploy as it always does. He feels identically the same. As each is afraid of the other, both are more afraid of the loneliness accentuated by their meeting. Others have deadlier opinions on what should happen to the ghost and the hunter.
Anna Dressed in Blood is a great teen horror mystery starring two lonely beings who find a deep affinity with each other. The story line is fast-paced and filled with gore, romance, and a cold case mystery. Kendare Blake provides a strong opening act with this tense paranormal beloved enemies' thriller. Harriet Klausner
Crucible of Gold
Naomi Novik
Del Rey, Mar 6 2012, $25.00
In 1809 British aviator William Laurence and Temeraire his dragon companion remain exiled in New South Wales for their treasonous act of saving French dragons from a plague. Their saving England from Napoleon kept them from state execution (see Tongues of Serpents).
Meanwhile plague brought by the Europeans devastates the Incan Empire at a time when Empress Anahuarque Inca considers allying with the Brits or the French. She leans towards a marital arrangement with Napoleon if he dumps Josephine while Iskierka the dragon pushes her captain Granby as a better alternative. Spain has fallen to the French and the powerful Tswana African tribe, with French support, raids Brazil tentatively to rescue black slaves but also to hold the royals captured in Rio. Tottering on the brink of defeat, the British government sends self-proclaimed ambassador plenipotentiary to China, Arthur Hammond, to return to the front Laurence and Temeraire.
Fast-paced and filled with action, the latest terrific timely Temeraire historical fantasy is a great thriller that grips readers throughout with a taste of life in many diverse spots while the world is at war. The abolitionist hero feels contempt towards his side's leadership; who demand patriotism from grunts risking their lives with little logistical support (can't raise a war fee tax) while the leaders direct the war from the comfort of their London suites. Fans will enjoy this excellent historical as the British leadership fumble the war while hiding behind the Decatur mantra of "Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!"; but forced to bring home Laurence whose mantra is the Shurtz corollary: "My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right."

Jane Vows Vengeance
Michael Thomas Ford
Ballantine, Feb 28 2012, $14.00
Living in Brakeston, New York as Jane Fairfax the owner of Flyleaf Books, Jane Austen agrees to marry Walter Fletcher. They plan their wedding, which proves difficult for Jane in a proof positive you legally exist photo ID era. Jane has no family to invite as they died two centuries ago and few friends. When Walter receives an invitation to tour the fine architect of Europe, he and Jane decide to marry in the Tower. An astonished Lord Byron gets her a passport through a zombie forger.
At the Tower, Jane is distracted by the appearances of the two lost princes. The ceremony is cancelled when Joshua Mobley, Jane's husband of nine days over two centuries ago, arrives. Walter grudgingly accepts the wait until his fiancée can extradite herself from her nuptials. Jane wonders who told her vampire husband that she would be at the Tower. She also hears about Crispin's Needle, an object that allegedly if stuck into a vampire's heart turns them into a human with a soul. Jane searches the continent for the device while in London she is the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
The latest Jane the contemporary vampire tale is a witty satire that continues the spoofing of the Austen mania including the novels by Michael Thomas Ford (see Jane Goes Batty and Jane Bites Back). Jane's sardonic self-deprecating sense of humor keeps her sane in a world that seems insane as she jumps from one crisis into another. With Lord Byron and Charlotte Bronte to help drive her crazy, Jane learns how complicated life for an undead who just wants to get married can be in a digital ID mania age. Harriet Klausner
Benedict Jacka
Ace, Feb 28 2012, $7.99
In London, Alex Verus runs a magic shop. Not only does this proprietorship enable him to use his knowledge but is also the perfect cover in plain sight of his talent. Alex is a diviner mage who can see the infinite possible futures and can sometimes influence which one occurs. His ability has the warring forces of the Light and the Dark wanting him on their respective side and will do anything even causing collateral damage to the innocent to make him their stooge.
Choosing neither side as he believes both are wrong with the damage they cause to civilians, Alex has one other unique trait that no other mage apparently possesses as he is an empath who feels for those he knows. The mage factions demand Alex open a relic from the ancient mage war. He looks into the future and realizes that the outcome of doing their bidding is one hundred percent deaths for him and his two dependents, Luna the cursed woman, and Starbreeze the ancient air elemental dumber than a rock. Alex and his wards flee as he foresees their only slim possible chance to survive the assaults from the Light and the Dark is flight not fight.
This is a great opening act as the first Alex Verus urban fantasy establishes the Jacka rules of magical physics but does so interwoven inside a fast-paced storyline. The cast is solid (even the ephemeral) but rascally Alex keeps the tale focused as he versus a world in which the superpowers reject neutrality; nor does either side care about the mundane. Instead the mantra is "You're either part of the solution or part of the problem" (Eldridge Cleaver). Harrier Klausner

Below are links to resources that I am providing in hopes they might aid other researchers. I will add more resources as they become available. Please feel free to use them!
1. Face Image Meta-Database (fIMDb – CLICK HERE)
The fIMDb provides detailed information about sources for face photographs intended for use in research. Click here for information about the fIMDb, including statistics, a list of the resources consulted during the construction of the fIMDb, and suggestions for high quality sources for face stimuli.
If the fIMDb helped you find the stimuli you're using in a project and you feel compelled, feel free to mention us in your acknowledgements or even to cite the following:
Workman, C.I., Jamrozik, A., Rosen, M.E., Chatterjee, A. (2019, March). The Face Image Meta-Database and Chatlab Facial Anomaly Database: Tools to Facilitate Neuroscience Research on Face Perception and Social Stigma. Poster presented at the 26th Annual Meeting of The Cognitive Neuroscience Society, San Francisco, CA, USA.
2. ChatLab Facial Anomaly Database (CFAD – CLICK HERE)
Although it is well-established that people with facial differences, like scars or facial paralysis, are subjected to biases and stereotyping, a dearth of research has examined the sources of such biases and their psychosocial consequences. In order to facilitate such research, we have constructed the CFAD — this is, to our knowledge, the only source of face stimuli featuring individuals with facial anomalies that is currently accessible to researchers.

Dangers and Difficulties of the Project Method and How to Overcome Them: III. Dangers and Difficulties of the Project Method
by Frederick G. Bonser - 1921
1. By that narrow and all too common interpretation, which limits the application of the project method to constructive activities alone, those activities which are primarily intellectual, appreciative, and skill- or habit-forming are omitted. While children enter upon constructive activities with immediate interest and enthusiastic effort, many of these activities tend to remain upon a relatively low educational level unless the accessory or related intellectual, appreciative, or skill interests are enkindled by them. Among the chief educational values of many constructive projects are the avenues of approach to interests of higher levels which they afford. In industrial construction, gardening processes, writing stories, plays, or poems, composing music, or in problems of design, the work may stop with the mere manipulative or constructive processes and with the resulting products. It may stimulate no questions to be answered in terms of geography, science, arithmetic, history, literature, social practices or values, or art values; and it may lead to no definite demands for higher degrees of skill to be achieved by specific practice. On the other hand, the imagination of the children may be stimulated and the teacher may lead their interests and activities into questions closely associated with the constructive projects which will bring about new projects into which they will enter with equal enthusiasm and which will lead to higher levels of value.

What to expect in a session
A Theta Healing session with Lorena is powerful and relaxing.
Together you will discuss the areas of your life you want to focus on and change. These may be fears, illness, physical, emotional or spiritual issues, relationships, finances, career. You may be finding it difficult to come to terms with unexpected or difficult changes that have affected your life such as childbirth, divorce, death, career change, redundancy, or retirement. Or you may just want to experience Theta Healing.
Lorena will explain to you how Theta Healing works and why it is necessary to identify and change any limiting subconscious beliefs that prevent you from reaching your true potential.
Muscle testing
In Theta Healing, to confirm that you have a limiting belief and to confirm that changes have been made, we use Muscle Testing.
Muscle Testing is a method used in Applied Kinesiology; it is a way we can communicate directly with our body and subconscious mind because it bypasses the critical mind. When you state an untruth, your body's electromagnetic field weakens, causing your muscles to weaken. When you state a truth, you body's electromagnetic field becomes stronger – resulting in muscle strength.
Before we start
To prepare for a session, you will need to be hydrated to enable muscle testing to work properly, so it is important to drink a couple of glasses of water before the appointment and possibly during the session.
Theta Healing – in essense
To be able to clear the way to achieving your true potential and enjoy the happy life you want to live, we must remove the negative belief and replace it with something positive.

Tim Hibsman (English) presented his paper "Minecraft Madness: Educational Benefits?" at the 2014 CUE conference in California.
Minecraft has the possibility of huge educational benefits for children; it can help teach numerous subjects both with and without adult involvement. Learning in Minecraft could be faster than traditional methods of education, as children are often far more motivated, get more practice, and feel that what they are learning is useful. Also various negative aspects, such as overuse, will be presented.
Furthermore, there will be a demonstration of the product showing how the various skills are used in the game. This session will provide an overview of the multiple skills that can be enhanced by playing Minecraft.
Reading skills are enhanced by reading wiki and online guides, as well as understanding item descriptions and inventory lists. Writing skills are enhanced by using the Book and Quill option within the game to keep a log. Players can also write informational texts in a collaborative, multimedia environment. Math skills are enhanced by using the "crafting system" that teaches basic math and transitions into multiplication. The Minecraft world is made up of cubes thus providing a basic understanding of volume and area, which ties into geometry. The player can utilize LANs (Local Area Network) and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) to play with others in the same room, building upon social and team-building skills. In addition to these skills, there are many other skills (problem solving, music, basic computer, etc.) that are utilized throughout the game.
CUE provides leadership and support to advance student achievement in the educational technology community.
CUE is a nonprofit, educational corporation founded in 1978. CUE's goal is to advance student achievement through technology in all disciplines from preschool through college. With an active current membership of thousands of educational professionals, CUE supports many regional affiliates and special interest groups. CUE conferences are California's premier educational technology events. CUE is the largest organization of its type in the west and one of the largest in the United States.

Family: Can't Live With Them, Can't Eat Them
That said, the issue of unsupportive grandparents/relatives/whatevers rears it's head on unschooling sites and posts with frightening regularity, so I've given the matter a great deal of thought over the past few years. It came up again on the SSUDs group last week, and I thought I'd share my take on how to deal with "unsupportive" relatives.
We have found that many "unsupporting" people aren't unsupportive maliciously; for the most part, they just really want to connect with the child but find that the traditional routes to connection ("What grade are you in?", "What are you learning?") are now closed. If you think about it, most of us (and a number of preceding generations) were raised and "schooled' in some basics - naming Presidents and state capitols, knowing the dates of wars, The Mayflower, yada yada. While these are all trivial pursuits, they do give us a common frame of reference, a connection point, that allows us entry into deeper conversation. Most of us were raised that way, for good or bad, and continue to work that way today.
Grandparents are no different; they are using their tried and true methods for connecting. The problem is that our kids don't know the answers to these trivial questions, don't know what they've "learned" in a day, etc. So rather than acknowledge that they need to find a different way to connect (which means undoing years of programming), our relatives will ask our children to change so they can connect. And if that doesn't work, they'll question unschooling in an effort to get us to change, all so that they can connect with our kids. This paradigm holds a very might sway.
But at it's heart, I think that most time this behavior comes from a place of good (trying to connect) rather than a place of bad. So we try to help them find other ways to connect - suggesting questions the grandparents can ask that will lead to enjoyable conversations, providing background info on our children's interests rather than on unschooling, and ensuring they get up-to-date info on what our kids are into at that particular point in time. The goal of this is simple - I don't need my parents to "get" unschooling, I need them to "get" their grandkids. Once that happens, a lot of the worry melts away - - -and many of the criticisms with it, because they no longer have a problem to solve.

We have two different types of grandparents. One set tries to connect with the kids according to what they have in common.. i.e. experiences in school is a big one (which they no longer have in common). The other set of grandparents tries to connect with the kids according to what is interesting to the kids.. for example, gardening, pulling pranks, taking pictures, having books read to them, cooking food together, etc. The kids have a much closer, well-rounded relationship with the grandparents that put in an effort to interact with the grandkids according to what the kids find interesting and fun, rather than simply interviewing the kids about their days, or their lives.ReplyDelete
I'm so fortunate that my mom is on board. She's very supportive and very engaging with the girls.ReplyDelete
But, it bothers me when strangers start quizzing my kids. I've become very blunt and to the point when people ask, "so no school today?" (me-"nope"), or "what did you learn in school today?" (me: some math, some reading, some history" ; ) ), etc.
Occasionally, you meet a really nice person who is truly interested and engaging with the kids as well. I love when that happens!

Let's look at the code:
if (Hi(Code) == 0)
BAsmCode[0] = Lo(Code); CodeLen = 1;
return True;
else if (MomCPU <= CPU1802)
return False;
BAsmCode[0] = Hi(Code); BAsmCode[1] = Lo(Code); CodeLen = 2;
return True;
(grabbed from code1802.c).
Frankly, it is not easy to recognize the language. Of course, this is C but initially it was Pascal, and then the author had converted in to C trying to minimize the amount of changes.
The project is called "Macro-assembler AS", by Alfred Arnold. I use it as an Intel 8080 macro-assembler available on Mac, Linux and Windows. Frankly I haven't seen anything better so far.
As the author explains, the project was started in Turbo Pascal, but after Borland had abandoned the DOS version but free implementation of the modern Pascal didn't exist yet, he decided to convert the sources into C and continue development in C. Despite of overall doubtfulness of such approach, to me, the author had managed it very well. The project hadn't die as it usually happens with big projects after rewrite. But though I have cloned it for myself and started using successfully, I doubt that I want to contribute because it requires coding in this weird "Pascal on C steroids" dialect. Alas, this is inevitable due to that conversion, otherwise the project may turn into mess. If to surf amongst the sources of AS it is easy to find a lot of tricks like "how to make C to be Pascal".
Nevertheless, all the best to Alfred with his great project. Again, the project moves forward and becomes better.
By the way, Alfred has a very cool collection of old hardware which makes me feel envy.

Extensive building possibilities
Unique worlds inspired by LEGO
Humorous plot narrative
Repetitive gameplay
Frustrating building controls
LEGO Worlds is a sandbox construction game with unique worlds and a variety of tools to build almost anything, but comes with repetitive and sometimes frustrating gameplay.
LEGO Worlds is a game focused on combining the fun creativity of the LEGO brand with a humorous narrative in a sandbox construction game. Using a variety of tools, the game has a lot to offer but focuses more on exploration than plot. We picked the PlayStation 4 version and spent hours exploring its controls, plot, graphics, and kid-friendliness.
Just like most PS4 games that come by disk, LEGO Worlds was simple to install. Insert the disk and the game will prompt you to do an installation process before you can play the game. Afterwards, you can begin playing immediately, but be aware that an internet connection is necessary if you want to go beyond the adventure version of the game and access the worlds online where you can adventure with other online players.
You're an astronaut when your spaceship starts falling and find yourself on a new world. Your spaceship is broken and you'll need to find parts (golden LEGO bricks) to repair it. This game isn't really focused on plot much past this. You explore the world you've fallen upon and you'll find people in need of your help. As you go you'll discover new tools to help you on your way.
These include: Discovery Tool, where you learn the models around you and store them in a library you can access later to recreate everything you've discovered, whether it's something small like a frog or something big like an ice castle; Build Tool, where you pick any LEGO brick and place it precisely to build a larger structure; Copy Tool, where you select an area of bricks to copy and save the model to build again later; Paint Tool, where splatter any color on the bricks around you, or even turn them to slime, water, or lava; and the Landscape Tool, where you raise mountains or lower hills, remove square sections of the ground or fill it).
The game has a great sense of humor. A charismatic narrator tells you where to go, what each of your tools does, and even cracks the occasional joke.
With these items, you'll set out across different worlds, and LEGO minifigures will request you do different jobs for them, from painting their house a more pleasing color, to building their new home. Basically, it's up to you what the plot is. You pick which worlds you want to visit, who you want to help or ignore, how you want to solve each person's problem, and how it is you want to earn your gold bricks.
While there isn't much of a plot, it is worth noting the game has a great sense of humor. A charismatic narrator tells you where to go, what each of your tools does, and even cracks the occasional joke.
Like a weird ghost that follows you around, he'll be there if you need a little direction. There is also humor in the characters you meet, like the old fisherman who will complain about needing somewhere to fish because of a shark, or the bandit who got stuck in a vault and needs you to set him free. You'll get to choose which tasks you want to do and which worlds you want to visit, making the plot your own.
LEGO Worlds is a sandbox construction game focused on adventure and exploration. Once you've unlocked all the game's tools, you will have almost limitless possibilities in how you can build. You can discover and learn how to construct the items you see around you. You can copy buildings and save the models for later.
You can even use the Build tool to use individual bricks to create a unique creation―the potential of what you can do is only limited by your own imagination. Choose water bricks to build rivers. Paint lava across a mountain and watch it burn. Befriend animals with different food and hop on them for a ride. Discover different vehicles from a helicopter, to an underwater submarine to help you explore the different worlds you visit. Befriend pirates and witches, build mountains or destroy homes―the possibilities really are limitless.
The game does have its flaws. On a PlayStation controller, it isn't easy to maneuver bricks, and building something from scratch can take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration.
However, the game does have its flaws. On a PlayStation controller, it isn't easy to maneuver bricks, and building something from scratch can take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration. We struggled with the controls, and often had to constantly adjust and open the menu again to make sure things were selected properly. LEGO Worlds is also available on PC, making us wonder if the controls wouldn't be easier to use there.
The gameplay too, while allowing you to choose your own path, does become repetitive. Ultimately, everything starts to swim together as all the tasks involving painting, building, or destroying. On top of the repetition and clunkiness, we had other bigger issues. Our game crashed randomly more than once while we were in the middle of exploring, and twice the sound bugged out where we could only hear specific sound effects. It seems in its endeavor to do everything (and it truly does a lot), LEGO Worlds failed to make sure everything was in perfect working order.
Like the popular LEGO movies and TV shows, LEGO Worlds is built around the idea of everything within the world being created from LEGO pieces. Flames are made from tiny flame LEGO bricks, creatures move around and have LEGO bottoms just like the real-life pieces. Any LEGO fan that enjoys building sets will love the attention to detail in this game. Even the LEGO minifigures you encounter are unlockable, and soon you can pick and choose your figure's cosmetics, from the hair, down to the color of your hands.
Be aware that depending on which minifigure face you choose, your character can do different things. For instance, if you choose the skeleton face, you'll be able to scream scarily at people. If you pick the caroler from the holiday world, you'll be able to sing and make the minifigures around you dance.
The worlds themselves are creatively designed and always different. In one, we got to fly around a swap in a helicopter and even stopped to surf on the back of an alligator. In another, we cut our way through a giant ice cream cone and helped save a witch's pig from a giant sponge cake. The game is colorful and fun, which invites you to explore and discover new items, new minifigures, and new worlds.
While we did enjoy ourselves moment to moment and laughed occasionally at the absurdity and chaos we could create, we felt the game was best suited to children. The humorous narrative is geared more toward children, and the way we felt about the game's controls being clunky might not be an issue for a kid. There is also a co-op feature in the game where a friend can jump in and help you build and explore.
Overall, the game was fun, and we can easily see how a kid, especially kids who love LEGO, would get lost in LEGO Worlds for hours on end, trying to discover every item, open every chest, and build every set. We would highly recommend this game for children who love to build and explore and want a casual yet fun gameplay experience.
LEGO Worlds can be found on any of the available platforms for $20-$30 MSRP. This isn't an unreasonable price for the amount of gameplay available. If you want to wait, the game does go on sale occasionally for PC. Either way, we feel $20 is a good price for what the game has to offer.
If you're looking for similar gameplay with regards to sandbox construction, Minecraft and Roblox are similar titles worth looking into. Minecraft has a huge fandom and people love what the game has to offer. If you're looking for more games that embrace the LEGO world, there are a variety of fandoms, from Batman, Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, and Marvel. These games will share the fighting, adventure, and humor of LEGO Worlds, but get away from the building and construction.

Hours of kid-friendly fun.
Between the humorous narrative, the never-ending building possibilities, and the new world exploration, this game makes up for the clunky controls and the occasional crash. Any child, especially one who loves to build with LEGO bricks, will find hours and hours of fun to be had in this game.
