Chefs at Austin culinary arts academies and around the world have a unique practice for learning new skills and seeking employment in new kitchens. Trialling and staging are time-tested, closely related processes than stretch back far into the history of the profession.
The two terms are distinct: Staging technically means a brief period of unpaid work rewarded with new knowledge and abilities, while trialling refers to a similar effort, but with the primary purpose of securing a job in the kitchen. However, they are used interchangeably in many modern kitchens, where the process is often used to advance a chef's career.
No matter what the head chef you contact calls this short probationary period, it's clearly in your best interests to be prepared. Use this advice to make your tryout as successful as possible.
Prepare for a potential new chef job
As you seek out employment opportunities – with assistance from Escoffier's global network – you'll find a variety of different restaurants serving many types of food in as many locations as you can imagine. Whether you're just starting out in your career and eager for any opportunity or looking to make a jump into a specific region or type of cuisine, a trial period at a new restaurant is a critical step for all chefs.
How can you make a great early impression, both when getting in contact with the restaurant's head chef for the first time and when you physically arrive in the kitchen? Do your research about the restaurant, understand what's expected of you during the trial and show up on time and ready to work.
Learning about the kitchen you could soon work in
The amount of resources today's chefs and culinary arts students have on hand to resource potential employers is truly staggering compared to just a few decades ago. Restaurants put menus, photos of food and locations, contact information and even mission statements and chef biographies online, offering you plenty of ways to learn about a potential new workplace. You shouldn't have an excuse for showing up to your trial or stage without a strong basic knowledge of the menu.
This approach lets you spend more time learning about the kitchen you'll work in and chefs you'll work with. That provides more information that will help you determine if you want to accept a position, should it be offered.
Knowing what to do and bring
You can get the basic information – where the restaurant is located, how to get there – from the internet, meaning your discussions with the chef in the days leading up to the event should focus on what to bring and what kind of work you'll do in the kitchen. Asking for this kind of information helps you appear focused and prepared, while making sure you show up with everything you need to be successful. Bring a clean chef's coat and pants and your favorite kitchen knife along with any tools specifically requested by the head chef.
Show up on time and ready to work
This is simple advice, but it can be overlooked in the rush to find a trial position and secure a job. Ensure you have everything you need before you leave home and give yourself plenty of time to arrive there and get in the right mindset for a shift in the kitchen. Showing up five minutes early never hurts, and having your head in the right place as you begin the process helps you feel more confident and organized as the shift goes on.

Triple Eight made "step forward" at Albert Park
Triple Eight made a "step forward" with its set-up direction during the Albert Park Supercars round, according to team manager Mark Dutton.
The Australian Grand Prix weekend was one of peaks and troughs for the factory Holden squad, with Jamie Whincup grabbing a pair of podiums finishes on Saturday night and Sunday morning to emerge from the weekend second in the points.
Shane van Gisbergen, however, slumped from second to 11th in the points thanks to a weekend that included an engine failure, a lost wheel, a penalty for clashing with Fabian Coulthard, and a best race result of 10th.
While admitting the failures on van Gisbergen car were unacceptable, Dutton was pleased with the general car pace over the weekend.
The T8 cars have seemingly struggled with the switch to linear springs for the 2019 season, with other Holden teams such as Brad Jones Racing currently matching the powerhouse squad, as the new Ford Mustangs from DJR Team Penske and Tickford set the overall pace.
But Dutton says set-up gains were made at Albert Park, as the transition from relying on trap springs continues.
"We were really happy with our cars," said Dutton.
"That was a really good step forward for us, making sure with all of the rules changes [with] springs etcetra, the engineers and the drivers are moving forward with car set-ups – which they definitely were.
"Everyone else has spoken about why they weren't quick enough compared to other models, so I don't need to do that. For us, we're happy with the engineers' job and the drivers' job.
"But not happy with some of the failures we had on car #97. That's not like us, and it's not something we're happy to accept."
Moves to rectify the loose wheel issue have already been made, with the team vowing to have a new retention system that's been in development since last year ready for the next round in Tasmania.
Whincup, meanwhile, said the team took some set-up risks across the Albert Park weekend, which ultimately paid off.
However he also admitted that one of his two podiums was heavily assisted by the bizarre crash on Saturday evening that wiped Scott McLaughlin and Cam Waters out on the warm-up lap.
"You try stuff in the set-up that's a 50-50," Whincup said.
"You're not 100 per cent sure if it's going to make a gain or not, but we're in a position where we took a few 50-50s and they paid off and got us two podiums.
"As far as the weekend goes, I feel like we did a good job.
"We just got lucky with a crazy scenario where two cars crashed into each other on the warm-up lap."
Whincup is currently 31 points behind McLaughlin, as van Gisbergen already faces a 175-points deficit to the leader.

On Friday, our class will take part in an new program:
"The Town of New Boston and the Forestry Commission will work with the First Graders, planting Christmas trees. They have set aside land off of Old Coach Road for the project and will provide volunteers. The town will purchase the saplings each year. The plan is to have two homerooms at a time be bussed to the location for planting. Each child will plant 1-2 trees (labeled as their tree) and each year will go back to care for it and learn how to prune and shape into a Christmas tree. When they are sixth graders they can choose to continue to let it grow or cut it for their Christmas tree."
~Thursday Notice
Permission slips for this trip will go home on Monday! PLEASE look for this, sign, and return it to school ASAP so your child can join our class on Friday!
Students will be learning about evergreen trees this week. Talk with them about the difference between evergreen trees and deciduous trees. Go one a tree walk, looking closely at needles and cones if you can!
On Wednesday, May 2nd, we will begin our residency with artist, Mark Ragonese! We will be making "Wish Flags" to be hung in the school garden. Our class is scheduled to meet with Mr. Ragonese from 8:30 to 9:20, and we would love some parent volunteers for this session. A note was sent home last week with volunteer sign up information. Students will be dying fabric outside in the garden that day, so please do not have students wear their best clothes, as they may get dirty or even stained. Have conversations with your child about his or her wishes and dreams!
Jump Rope for Heart is on Thursday this week, so please have your child wear proper clothing and footwear for jumping that day. Send in any paperwork you may have for this by Thursday.
It looks like the temperatures will rise this week. (Finally!)
Please make sure your child has a water bottle at school each day to stay hydrated!
Thank you so much for all you do at home to support your first grader!!!

Austin Intoxication Assault Attorney Jason Trumpler
Austin Intoxication Assault Lawyer Jason Trumpler
Intoxication Assault in Texas is governed under Texas Penal Code Section 49.07.
The elements of the offense are that if the person, by accident or mistake while operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated, by reason of that intoxication causes serious bodily injury to another.
"Serious bodily injury" means injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes serious permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.
There are essentially three ways to defend these types of cases. The first way is you attack whether the driver was in fact impaired. The second way you attack this type of case is whether the accident was in fact caused by the driver's impairment and not superceding or intervening cause. The final way to attack this case is to argue that the injury suffered was not "serious" bodily injury.
Intoxication Assault Attorney Jason Trumpler is that attorney. He is extremely well versed in the defense of DWI cases, understands accident reconstruction, and also understands what qualifies as "serious" bodily injury. Over the years, Mr. Trumpler has handled dozens of these cases as a prosecutor, criminal defense attorney, and civil attorney.

Hellboy is the centre of a new gameplay trailer for Injustice 2 ahead of his introduction into the game next month.
The Dark Horse Comics demon is due to become a playable character on November 14, and going by this new loo,k we frankly cannot wait.
In the clip, we see Hellboy doing what he does best as he shows off his brutal moves against an adversary. At one point, he even takes him to hell and back.
The character is due to be released as part of the Fighter Pack 2 DLC, alongside Aquaman's nemesis Black Manta and Mortal Kombat's Raiden.
He will be downloadable for those who have bought Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition, Injustice 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, Injustice 2 Ultimate Pack. After that, he will become available to everyone else on November 21 for $5.99 (£4.56).
The NetherRealm Studios game, which is the sequel to 2013's Injustice: Gods Among Us, was released earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Hellboy is set to be remade in the movie-sphere with Stranger Things' David Harbour taking over the role from Ron Perlman.
Explaining the tone of the new movie, screenwriter Andrew Cosby said: "I can't really talk about specifics with regard to the story, which they're keeping a pretty tight lid on at the moment, but I can say that this is a darker, more gruesome version of Hellboy."

Conflicts of Interest Policy
This document outlines both our broad approach to identifying and monitoring all potential/new/actual conflicts of interest that may affect us both now and in the foreseeable future. This policy aims to negate any conflicts of interest associated with the activities undertaken by BCE or the activities undertaken on BCE's behalf. It applies to BCE employees and service level staff, which include, but are not limited to:
- Managers
- Assessors
- Internal Verifiers
- Tutors
- Support Staff
- Recruitment
- Administration
- Definition of a conflict of interest
A conflict of interest is a situation in which a person or organisation is involved in multiple interests, financial interest, or otherwise, one of which could possibly influence the motivation of the individual or organisation.
For the purposes of this policy we have adopted the definition used by the Regulatory Body in relation to conflicts of interest. In essence, a conflict of interest exists in relation to BCE where:
- our interests in any activity undertaken by us or on our behalf has the potential to lead us to act contrary to our interests in the development, delivery and award of qualifications in accordance with the requirements of Ofqual's 'General Conditions of Recognition',
- a person, including agents, who is connected to the development, delivery or award of qualifications at BCE has interests in any other activity which have the potential to lead that person to act contrary to his or her interests in the development, delivery or award process and impact on our compliance with the requirements of Ofqual's 'General Conditions of Recognition', and/or
- An informed and reasonable observer would conclude that either of these situations was the case.
Conflict of interest principles
In implementing our approach to identifying and managing potential/new/actual conflicts of interest, Employees are required to abide by the following principles:
- must be proactive in the identification and management of conflicts of interest that may affect our effectiveness, level of regulatory compliance and/or reputation,
- must be open about the nature of any potential/new/actual conflicts of interest because managing conflicts of interest is about preventing issues from occurring or recurring that may impact on our operational effectiveness and/or regulatory compliance, and
- must strive to identify and deal with conflicts of interest at the earliest opportunity.
Identifying a conflict of interest
Examples of conflict of interest that could compromise the integrity of qualifications and assessments;
- Business or commercial interests that may affect a person's professional judgment
- Personal relationships with family or friends that could affect or influence a decision
- Gifts or hospitality that could influence a decision
- Mutually beneficial arrangements that could compromise an individual's ability to make a professional judgment
- Where favorable arrangements have been negotiated, e.g. supplying information in preparation for an assessment
Responsibility to register a conflict of interest
Responsibility to register a conflict of interest applies to all individuals in the delivery and administration of qualifications where there is either a real or potential conflict of interest, this should be registered on a conflict of interest disclosure form and forwarded to your line manager.
If you are unsure of whether a conflict of interest exists please contact your line manager.
Colleagues responsibilities
- Avoid conflicts of interest wherever possible
- Reduce the impact of where a conflict of interest may exist
- Complete a conflict of interest disclosure form and forward to your line manager, retaining a copy for your records
- Update your line manager if there is a change in circumstances
Management responsibilities
- Take steps to avoid conflict of interest wherever possible
- Maintain a record of real and potential conflicts of interest
- Inspect activities and assessments where a conflict of interest cannot be avoided
Dealing with conflicts of interest and/or breaches to the procedures outlined in this policy
Should there be a breach of this policy and/or unforeseen conflicts of interest emerge, employees must inform BCE at the earliest opportunity and we will carry out an investigation immediately, along with a review of the associated procedures.
Review arrangements
We will review this document annually as part of our self-evaluation arrangements. However, a review will be commissioned earlier should an issue arises in relation to an actual or potential conflict of interest and/or in response to customer, learner or regulatory feedback.

When I was a kid I was told that when a man beats up a puppy, no matter how big and powerful of dog it will grow to be, it would still fear that man. Although I'm not certain about the truthfulness of this statement, I'm pretty sure the same happens to us too. If we have negative experiences with something, it might shape our notion of it for a long time.
When I first started poling, I discovered my hands and feet were abnormally sweaty, more than regular grip aids can handle. I had Mighty Grip gloves so I could grip with my hands, but my feet were still bare. It didn't bother me until we started learning The Cupid. That foot on pole point of contact made sure I stood no chance in sporting a beautiful floating Cupid.
I avoided it as much as I could. The closest I got to working on the Cupid was when I revisited the ankle on pole variation. I nailed that bad boy down with the less usable grip, long after I nailed much more advanced things, and kept on avoiding Cupids.
A lot have changed since than, but in my head Cupid was still the big scary man that would beat me up.
Fear is the mind killer.
Last week I trained with a lovely instructor named Julie. Julie, as I heard before had a sweaty hands and feet problem as well, and I have seen her compete Pole Expo's Pole Classic competition. I've also seen her online tutorial on a cool transition from Cupid to De Janeiro, and was happy she chose to teach it that day.
When she spotted me, the Cupid was the hurdle I couldn't get over. I asked her how did she do it, and she said that I didn't had to stay in the Cupid, just enter it and bend back to catch the pole. I realized that more than my actual ability to do it, it was a mental block I had in my head which prevented me from getting it. I was perfectly able to put my foot on the pole, and catch it behind me as my foot was sliding off. My brain was the one that's preventing my from going there, because once upon a time when I was a clueless little beginner, I couldn't do it.
I'm all about figuring out fears and actively working on them to be able to succeed in my training. Fear is a big part of many moves on pole, and rationally addressing it can be very effective. What dawned on me is that there is another type of fear, the one that you don't know exists, the one that hold you back without you being aware of it so you don't even know you need to fix it.
On Saturday, in the contortion workshop I take, we were warming up our backs with simple backbends, working our way up towards the mighty chest stand. We did assisted drop to bridge, which I felt awful about and I was doing my best to contain my frustration in. I was almost holding back tears, yet I refused to understand why.
Back bending is, or at least used to be, a hard uphill battle for me. My back was never flexible, my shoulders got even tighter because I haven't stretched them for the first year and a half of my pole training. Everything about it was hard and frustrating, and I failed to enjoyed it like some flexy people say they so. I was still too stubborn, so I never gave up. I wanted that Cocoon, and that Crescent Moon and many other pretty things.

#Samturday with @bo_xox just keep getting better. It's the first time in my life I saw my own toes above me. And the first time I got onto a #cheststand without support and rested my feet on a high surface. It felt solid and comfortable and I would never imagined any of these things happening to me anytime soon. It's not in this video, unlike @gokimmygooo's hand of approval 😂
But when we moved on to the chest stand, I was at the grown ups' mat, holding it and calmly working on deepening it. No frustration, no pain, no tears held back, just doing it. Chest stand was one of the things I thought were too advanced for my stiff back so I haven't touched on it before much. Until this workshop.
Until I practiced a new back bend which was free of my biases.
Until this one instance with the Cupid where I realized mental blocks were a thing.
Until I realized I wasn't a beat up puppy anymore, I'm a huge ferocious hound now.
These back bends got nothing on me. This is not a problem I can't train through. Once I can free my mind from this notion, my body will be capable to go there. This makes me feel pumped to get back to my backbend training. Feel empowered.
I'll keep looking for more mental blockers in my training, and undo them one by one.
2016 going to be amazing.

Bo3s are objects consisting of blocks that can spawn in your biomes. Similarly to Vanilla Minecraft structures and terrain objects they can represent trees, ores, dungeons, caves, rocks, lakes and much much more. Using the branch system, other BO3s can be attached to them, forming large structures. BO3s can also have NBT data attached to them to fill chests, furnaces, dispensers, and other Tile Entities. Additionally mobs and mob spawners can be generated inside a Bo3. The main .bo3 files are plaintext. Notepad++ is recommended when opening and editing them. Other useful tools are Bo3_BulkEdit (for editing multiple BO3's at once) and Bo3_Layouter (for creating branching structures made of BO3's).
BO2's and BO3's (custom objects/structures)
OpenTerrainGenerator, TerrainControl and MCW use BO2 and BO3 files to add custom structures to the world such as trees, rocks and building. BO2's and BO3's can be placed as either CustomObjects (< 32x32 single BO3 file, commonly used for small things like trees and rocks) or as CustomStructures (Large structure made of multiple 16x16 BO3's that are glued together via branches, commonly used for large buildings, mountains etc).
Converting schematics to BO3's
Schematics created via WorldEdit or MCEdit can be converted to BO3's using OTGEdit or Bo3_BulkEdit. When converting to a BO3 a block can be specified as the center point.
Tutorials Edit
The following basic tutorials on Bo3s are available:
More advanced structure creation and generation tutorials will become available soon.
The Settings in the BO3 Object Edit
The Bo3 configs contain the block settings and placement rules of the objects to be spawned in the world.
The files are located in the OpenTerrainGenerator/worlds/[world name]/Bo3 Objects folder. They can be arranged in any sort of folder structure.
Bo3 Object Edit
Information regarding the Bo3 object.
Author Edit
Author of this world. When creating a new custom object the authors name can be placed here.
Description Edit
A short description of the BO3 object. i.e. "Small jungle tree".
Version Edit
To be kept as version 3 to allow for version checks.
SettingsMode Edit
Normally, each time OTG reads the BO3 object, it also writes to it. With this setting you can change how OTG writes to this BO3. Possible modes:
|Autoupdate settings from old versions, order them, add comments, reset invalid settings and remove custom comments.
|Same as WriteAll, but removes all comments, both the ones of Terrain Control and your own.== ==
|Don't write to the comment files. Errors are not corrected, old settings are read, but they are also not corrected. Custom comments won't be removed with this mode== ==
Main settingsEdit
This needs to be set to true to spawn the object in the Tree and Sapling resources.
The frequency of the BO3 from 1 to 200. This setting manages the number of attempts to spawn the object for each chunk hen using the CustomObject resource (Tree and CustomStructure have their own parameters, Sapling always tries to spawn exactly one tree). If you have very strict spawn conditions you might want to increase this.
The rarity of the BO3 from 0 to 100. Each spawn attempt has rarity% chance to succeed when using the CustomObject(...) resource.
The rarity can be very small. 0.0001 is possible.
If you set this to true, the BO3 will be placed with a random rotation. So one time the BO3 faces north, another time the BO3 faces east. This should usually be set to true.
The spawn height of the BO3 - atMinY, randomY, highestBlock or highestSolidBlock.
The offset from the spawn height to spawn this BO3.
Example: SpawnHeight = highestSolidBlock, SpawnHeightOffset = 3; This object will spawn 3 blocks above the highest solid block
A random amount to offset the spawn location from the spawn offset height.
Example: SpawnHeightOffset = 3, SpawnHeightVariance = 3; This object will spawn 3 to 6 blocks above the original spot it would have spawned.
The minimum and maximum height limit for the BO3 to spawn. Inclusive.
The minimum and maximum height limit for the BO3 to spawn. Inclusive.
Extrusion SettingsEdit
The style of extrusion you wish to use - BottomDown, TopUp, None (Default).
The blocks to extrude your BO3 through.
When spawned as a structure, objects can have other objects attached to it: branches. Branches can also have branches attached to it, which can also have branches, etc. This maximum branch depth for this object. When you aren't using branches, you won't need this.
When spawned with the UseWorld or UseWorldAll keywords, this BO3 should NOT spawn in the following biomes.
If you don't use UseWorld or UseWorldAll to spawn this object, for example because you use CustomObject(thisObjectName) in the BiomeConfigs, this will have no effect.
ExcludedBiomes:All will make this object not spawn in UseWorld.
Source block settingsEdit
The id of the block the BO3 should spawn in. Multiple ID's can be specified, therefore the object can be permitted to spawn in more than block type. Used in combination with the next setting.
A percentage of how much block of the BO3 can be outside the source block.
What to do when the BO3 should do when it is about to place a block on a location where there is no source block.
|Cancel the block placement on that location, so that the terrain will overwrite the BO3. This can result in chopped off objects, sometimes that effect is intended (see making a path tutorial).
|Place the block anyway, so that the BO3 will override the terrain.
All the blocks used in the BO3 are listed here. Possible blocks are as follows.
Block Edit
Block(0,1,0,STONE:1). This will spawn a granite 1 block above the centre block.
RandomBlock Edit
RandomBlock(0,0,0,CHEST,chest.nbt,50,CHEST,anotherchest.nbt,100). This will spawn a chest at the BO3 origin, and give it a 50% chance to have the contents of chest.nbt, or, if that fails, a 100% percent chance to have the contents of anotherchest.nbt.
nbt data - tile entities
Spawnable Entities Edit
Entity(0,1,0,Skeleton,4). Will spawn 4 skeletons that, by default, will not despawn.
Entity(0,1,0,Skeleton,Skeleton.text,1). This will search for the text file within the same directory as the object named skeleton.text and spawn 1 skeleton. Entity nbt data can be stored in a text file as opposed to an .nbt file.
The nbt data in the text file can be taken from any online summon command editor i.e. this one.
Example of the text found in the skeleton.text nbt file. This skeleton is wearing a leather helmet with a zero armor drop chance.
Here is a list of possible entities that can be spawned. These are case-insensitive and ignore underscores
so you can use any of the listed names.
To ensure entities spawn, it is best practice to place an air block in the same space as the entity. The way it would read in the block list would be:
- Block(0,1,0,AIR)
- Entity(0,1,0,Skeleton,Skeleton.txt,1)
MinecraftObject Edit
MinecraftObject(x,y,z,name), spawns an object in the Mojang NBT structure format. For example, MinecraftObject(0,0,0,minecraft:igloo/igloo_bottom) spawns the bottom part of an igloo.
Bo3 Checks
Require a condition at a certain location in order for the BO3 to be spawned.
- BlockCheck(x,y,z,BlockName[,BlockName[,...]]) - one of the blocks must be at the location
- BlockCheckNot(x,y,z,BlockName[,BlockName[,...]]) - all the blocks must not be at the location
- LightCheck(x,y,z,minLightLevel,maxLightLevel) - light must be between min and max (inclusive)
You can use "Solid" as a BlockName for matching all solid blocks or "All" to match all blocks that aren't air.
- BlockCheck(0,-1,0,GRASS,DIRT) Require grass or dirt just below the object
- BlockCheck(0,-1,0,Solid) Require any solid block just below the object
- BlockCheck(0,-1,0,WOOL) Require any type of wool just below the object
- BlockCheck(0,-1,0,WOOL:0) Require white wool just below the object
- BlockCheckNot(0,-1,0,WOOL:0) Require that there is no white wool below the object
- LightCheck(0,0,0,0,1) Require almost complete darkness just below the object
Branches are objects that will spawn when this object spawns when it is used in the CustomStructure resource. Branches can also have branches, making complex structures possible.
Regular Branches spawn each branch with an independent chance of spawning.
- branchName - name of the object to spawn.
- rotation - NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST.
- IndividualChance - The chance each branch has to spawn, assumed to be 100 when left blank
- MaxChanceOutOf - The chance all branches have to spawn out of, assumed to be 100 when left blank

When travelling, the more you can save, the better it always is because then you can channel the money to other important affairs of the trip or not related to the trip. They want you to think that you must have money, a lot of money, to be able to travel. Its not unregular to find a used travel trailer in showroom condition, even older travel trailers from the 70's can be found in great condition. If you are traveling alone or as couples, or just with your nuclear family, the whole expenditure needs to be borne by you.
We want you to know the risks of traveling to these places and to strongly consider not going to them at all. If so, you will have to pay for the air tickets, the services of the travel company you deal with, the insurance etc. Group travel provides the opportunity to see maximum number of places with minimum time, since usually a group travel will be functioning as per the scheduled time.
WHO said the travel policy, until February, included the possibility for the (director-general) to fly first class." It said Chan flew business class and requested the policy be changed to eliminate the first-class option. Travel can be as low as only $ 25. The decorations, ambiance and presentation of a franchise totally depend on the taste of the franchise owner.
A fact that most people don't realize, is that world travel can be down-right cheap. One of the best ways you can book the cheapest travel fares is by using comparison sites. If you are traveling solo and willing to stay low on luxury, then getting a hostel room will keep your budget well in shape.
So now that we've looked at a couple of things that make actual travel so great and how you can really throw yourself into a culture let's look at how vacationing is different from traveling. Travel also features inspirational travel photography photographs from all the latest competitions, and aspirational travel ideas.

Originating at Solstice Arts Centre and currently at the Royal Hibernian Academy, the touring Micheal Farrell retrospective marks a rich career. As the Dublin venue, the RHA is a good choice. For a start the location is close to the Taylor Galleries, Farrell's long-term Dublin representative. Taylor is therefore well placed to mount a complementary exhibition to run concurrently. It elaborates on the RHA with a selection from four decades covering the artist's chosen mediums of drawing, print, and paint. Then there is the expansive space of the Main Gallery at the RHA which not only contains the retrospective but effortlessly offers the viewer, in taking a 360 degree turn, a vista of almost all the works. This is the RHA Gallery at its best, showing off two-dimensional work without the partitioning that tends to impose artificial breaks.
Having said that, the RHA space is loosely quartered into early and late work at each end with work from the mid-seventies through to the early nineties on the two long walls. While the early abstracts of the sixties and the late works of the late nineties with their representations of illness have particular histories that warrant particular attention I want to focus here on Farrell at mid-career. This is featured at the RHA as the work which is centrally positioned on the two main walls. On one wall is the Madonna Ireland theme, and opposite, work which might be said to emanate around the theme of café culture. Facing one another then is woman as subject, women who inhabit the studio and the boudoir, and opposite, scenes of cafés, bars, drinks, tables, animals, and, male subjects. Farrell represents these male figures as men who hang out in bars and who not only breathe the culture but who have an internal life that adds significantly to their allure.
The facts of Farrell's development are well known. His art education was in London. He was familiar with the art scene there, and his awareness of contemporary art was extended by a visit to New York. He spent a few years back in Ireland before leaving for France in 1971, which from that point on was his main country of residence. By the early seventies Farrell was moving away from the cool, hard-edge abstraction that he and a number of other Dublin-based artists had adopted in the late sixties. A need to respond to the situation in Northern Ireland was one reason for this. More curious is the evolution which followed—from the serious-minded intensity of the political, semi-abstract collages about Ireland to a representational style which was playful, fantastical, and, was also about sex. Farrell's output from the late seventies may be compared to the nascent Pop Art he encountered in London in the late fifties, though his subjects are far from the emerging commodity culture celebrated in Pop. In this work, Farrell's style oscillates from free-flowing graphics to patterned surfaces but style is always subject to what he wanted to say. Farrell had found a means of incorporating a modern attitude to things Irish within a French milieu, while retaining more traditional art subjects.
This development can be traced from Protestant Oculte and Pressé Irlandaise/La Ruche from 1974 and 1975 respectively to the oil painting, Miss O'Murphy d'après Boucher—This Picture will be Finished when Ireland Once Again is One, 1978. The former use newspaper reportage on current violence in Ireland in print and collage within an abstract motif. The effect is an expression of despair in face of relentless and seemingly endless violence. Miss O'Murphy d'après Boucher in one sense carries over the tearing and dissecting process of the earlier works. The female figure reclining face down on a chaise longue has marks added which break her into parts. Farrell alludes to the figure of Louise O'Murphy, a sometime courtesan at the mid-eighteenth French court who is of Irish extraction. Her fame perpetuates because Casanova made reference to her, but most especially because she is the subject of one of François Boucher's most famous paintings where she is in the suggestive pose which Farrell has copied. However Farrell makes her body parts into butcher's cuts, playing on Boucher's name and the French, boucherie. While the caption 'Madonna Ireland' appears down the left side of the canvas, this is no Madonna. A cut or gap appears where her genitals should be, and this is echoed in a cartoon-like depiction of Vitruvian Man hovering above in which the figure covers his genitals with his hands, or perhaps he covers emasculated sexual parts. In the title Farrell has made a bald statement about the reunification of Ireland such as were in use by the IRA, but he has transfigured the idealized image of Mother Ireland into the courtesan, Louise O'Murphy.
Women constitute the vast majority of sex workers and prostitution is often seen as degrading to women generally. At the same time, prostitution receives little public attention and is often regarded as an inevitable aspect of an imperfect world. In this and other works with this theme Farrell takes prostitution into the political spectrum and highlights the plight of ideals on entry to the actual world, but in the process he provoked the ire of feminists with his representation of woman as meat. From today's perspective, over thirty years on, we might acknowledge that Farrell also represented himself in some of these works, not as voyeur, but as pathetic onlooker. Perhaps it is the failure of 'freedom' movements to live up to expectation that leads Farrell to pursue a lighter, and more fantastical version of the world from the 1980s to the early nineties. Other figures enter his canvas: Picasso, Brancusi, Joyce, along with other artists partaking in the café, as well as the hound, various mythological animals and birds, Sweeney and the Irish pub. Take Joyce for example. There are numerous representations of Joyce, not in the reverential terms normally allotted, but as a dapper figure conscious of the style of his tie. Farrell over-cooks the tie design into Celtic motifs, not in order to stress the Irishness in Joyce's genes but as the excessive branding of Joyce as Irish genius. In James Joyce et Picasso at the Café du Flore, 1993, Joyce and Picasso are seen sitting at a table, Gauloises to the fore, both seemingly caught up in their own imaginings. But a large part of the canvas is taken up with the marbling effect of the café's décor along with a large greyhound-like dog. For all the sociability of the French café, the large space of the foreground seems to represent a potential for creative force.
In these works Farrell identified his sources, his guiding lights. These figures are from the immediate past. Farrell did not claim radical new paths for art, in this he sees continuities rather than fractures. Just like French art itself, the baton for change in medium and subject had passed elsewhere. At the same time Farrell evolved an art closely connected to his life, and from that perspective he was able to take a quizzical view of Ireland that isn't overwhelmed by the nationalist identifications expected of the émigré. More important in respect to today's situation is that he fully embraced the concept of the artist as bohemian who refused to pay lip service to staid society. As pressure on artists today increases to adopt a business persona perhaps we should look back on Farrell's practice more intently as timely reminder of an outlook in danger of extinction.

Graphic design firm helps Educational Endeavors boost their business
on Friday,January 22,2010 22:01
Educational Endeavors, a tutoring and homeschooling services provider, has announced that is has boosted sales and increased clientele after enlisting the help of a boutique graphic design firm.
The company recently hired Visible Logic, a Portland, Maine-based design agency, to assist with its rebranding initiatives. Executives from the education provider said it was seeking a more professional image, as its marketing collateral and website - which were designed in-house - looked "homemade."
Visible Logic incorporated a tagline after restructuring the company''s logo, revamped the website and designed new print brochures, folders, registration forms, and electronic newsletters. All of these materials included a consistent use of imagery and color scheme.
Following the redesign, company officials reported that they received a great return on their investment, as their client base more than doubled.
Emily Brackett, founder of the graphic design firm, said rebranding can help companies attract potential customers, as the "form lasting impressions about a company''s size, financial condition, product reliability, service quality [and] value [from] a glance at your business card or a visit to your website."

Nationals WA candidate for Durack Scott Bourne has echoed commitments from Labor and Liberal party candidates for a radiation therapy centre and a dedicated prostate cancer nurse.
Labor has promised an additional 34 prostate nurses across Australia.
"If I am elected, I will send a message loud and clear that Geraldton, Durack and WA should get our fair share of that," Mr Bourne said.
Labor candidate Sharyn Morrow said one of these nurses would be based in Geraldton if her party won Government, and Member for Durack Melissa Price said she would also fight for this if reelected.
Ms Price last week announced a Budget allocation for a radiation therapy centre in Geraldton - to which the Labor candidate quickly gave her support.
Mr Bourne said he also supported the move.
"I also want to make sure radiation oncology services are available in Geraldton so people in the city and surrounding areas don't have to travel to Perth for treatment . . . it is essential that people living outside of Perth get the same access to services as those in the metropolitan area," he said.

On Thursday, January 29, Yo Yo Ma performed in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall as part of the Opening Nights Concert Series at Florida State. Tickets sold out within hours of release. However, the Dean at the College of Music reserved enough tickets for every string player enrolled in a major University Orchestra. In addition to the concert, Ma also held a half hour question and answer session with students before the concert. Students asked questions about his relationship with music, his perspective on job potential in the classical music world and the works he selected for his performance.
Although he is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and respected musicians of the 21st century, Ma is most widely known as an advocate for new music and using music as a means to connect people across cultural boundaries. Ma's interest and dedication to new music, non-conventional ensembles and traditional folk music led him to form the Silk Road Ensemble, a non-profit organization that features instruments from different cultures, including the santur, bawu, bagpipes and over thirty other instruments.
During the Q&A, Ma was extremely personable, eager to meet students and answer questions. At one point during the conversation, he noticed my friend and I were exchanging smiles and glances while he described his experience playing in hospitals for patients. He asked both of us about our experiences playing for patients in similar settings. It led to an engaging conversation concerning the true purpose of music and the importance of making connections. "Music is moving
air," he said, "By making music, you are able to physically touch someone and create the most personal and real connection possible."
Ma performed Cello Suites 1, 3, and 5 by Johann Sebastian Bach. The suites are iconic repertoire for the cello and
transcriptions are available for almost every other instrument as well. The Cello Suites were written by Bach in the early 18th century and were revolutionary at the time. Even though they were written for a single instrument, Bach was able to create complex harmonies that are very difficult to write with only one voice. One student asked him why he chose to perform these works. Ma responded, "Suite 1 speaks to the variety and depth of nature, suite 3 speaks to the human nature and suite 5 blends them together."
The stage was very simply set – one chair and one spotlight in the center of the stage. Yo Yo Ma's sound filled the entire hall and he played effortlessly. The fast notes were clear and articulate, and his sound was dynamic all throughout his performance. At the end of the concert he came back to the stage for an encore and spoke about Pablo Cassals, a cellist that has served as an inspiration for him. His encore was one of Cassal's most beloved folk songs from his native Spain, The Song of the Birds.
Ma's pure love of creating music with others is nothing short of inspiring, and encourages younger musicians to seek out new ways to share music with the world in a way that transcends cultural boundaries. Yo Yo Ma's perspective on music is truly the future of the classical world.

The Best Christmas They Ever Had
The last time eight-year-old Jimmy had seen anything like this was on a TV show.
Somehow it's not the same when the police cars are surrounding your home, red lights shining through your windows, the sound of sirens punctuating the crisp evening air.
Even on television, Jimmy had never experienced anything like what was going on his family's living room.
"Keep your hands up," a policeman said to the jolly old fat man in the red suit who was standing by Jimmy's Christmas tree, a giant bag beside him.
"You're under arrest for burglary and trespassing. You have the right to remain silent."
The fat man said, "Ho, ho, ho."
" All these hoes, Ben," one of the officers said to the other. "Should we add a charge of prostitution?"
"No," the fat man said, "I"m Santa Claus."
Jimmy felt a tug on his shirt. His little sister Jenny had entered the room and was hiding behind him.'
"It's Santa," she whispered to her brother.
"Joe," Officer Ben said, "it sounds like the little girl knows this guy."
A call came in on Officer Ben's radio. "You have to be kidding!"
"What is it?" Officer Joe asked.
"You say he sees you when you're sleeping. He is a peeping tom. He knows when you've been bad or good." He looked at Jimmy. "And he's got eyes on your mom."
"Wait a minute, Joe," Ben said. "The little girl said she knew this guy."
"He was at the mall," she said. "I sat on his lap and he told me he would give me what I wanted."
Joe threw Santa to the ground and handcuffed him. "You freak! She's just a little girl."
"No, ho ho," Santa said. "You don't understand. Millions of kids sit on my lap and tell me what they want. And if they've been good I come into their houses and leave something under their tree."
A third officer entered from the kitchen. "I've been talking to the parents," he said. "This guy stole some milk and cookies."
"From the looks of him, he's stolen a lot of milk and cookies."
"He was planning to make his getaway through the chimney. He left a team of reindeer on the roof and from the looks of it, the reindeer left something on the roof, too. We also found this computer. This guy not only sees them when they're sleeping and is a peeping tom, but here's how he knows if they're bad or good- It's all on CD Rom."
"You have to let me go," Santa said. "I have all of these gifts in my bag and I have to deliver them to good little boys and girls all over the world."
Joe started leading him out of Jimmy's living room. "You're not going anywhere tonight, buddy."
"But that's Santa Claus," Jimmy and his sister said, almost in unison.Jimmy added, "You can't arrest Santa Claus."
"He won't bother you any more, kid. They don't take kindly to his type in prison."
Jimmy started to argue when Officer Ben said. "What are we going to do with this big bag of toys? We don't have room for that."
Officer Joe looked at Jimmy and Jenny. "Let's save ourselves some paperwork. Give the toys to these two kids. Now, kid, what were you going to say about this guy?"
Jimmy hesitated, then spoke. "Nothing, sir. He scares me."
Santa shook his head. "You're a bad little boy, Jimmy. And you know what happens to bad little boys?"
Joe said, "Get him out of here. Add intimidating a witness to the charges."
As the officers took the jolly fat man out of their home, Jimmy and Jenny began opening their gifts.
It was the best Christmas they ever had.

Oh no, we're not done with Chinese slider phones just yet. Following the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and Honor Magic 2, today Lenovo unveiled the Z5 Pro which is another notch-free Android slider made for China, but with the main difference being its price point -- starting from about $290 instead of $475 and above.
This is mainly due to the fact that the device houses Qualcomm's mid-range Snapdragon 710 chipset, but you still get a 6.39-inch 2,340 x 1,080 AMOLED screen, in-display fingerprint reader, 6GB of RAM, a 3,350 mAh battery, dual Nano SIM slots and NFC. There's also Dolby Atmos support through both speakers, but for wired headphones, you'll need to plug in the bundled USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
