2015 was a good year, I celebrated 35 years of making by donating 100 mugs to raise funds for Mary's Meals, I started selling them in March and by August they were all sold raising £1419. I took part in two Potfest shows, Scotland and Cumbria with good sales at the both and won a competition for tableware at the Cumbrian show whilst one of my ex students won the front cover prize given by Craft and design Magazine. Later in the year I did a run of mixed craft shows from October to December and an exhibition in Canterbury's Beaney gallery with the Kent Potters Association. Nearly all of the shows in 2015 had improved sales wise on 2014 so hopefully showing that finally the economy is picking up.
I decided to slow down on teaching( I have only ever done a couple of days a week) and not advertise it but I had a few schools ask me to come in. One project was a large mural for the entrance hall. I rolled the clay out in sections which were joined together to make a mural 1.5 x 2.5 metres, the children modelled a scene of the playground depicting children doing all the activities that they do in the school. Once cheese hard it was cut up like a jigsaw, fired and then mounted on a board. The children then painted it. When they come into school they like to mention what bit they did.
At the end of the year pottery went large with the Great Pottery Throw Down, despite a few negative comments it was a great success and raised awareness of the trials and tribulations of a potters life. It also boosted classes and lots of the public at the shows I did talked about it. Maybe with a few more similar programs universities will think twice about closing courses.
Also spreading the word is a new online magazine called Emerging Potters Online Magazine produced in conjunction with Ayelsford (Priory) Pottery in Kent. The pottery was set up by David Leach and Colin Pearson with a view to the monks producing wares. It is now run by Alan Parish and Billy Biles – Billy is the holder of the Guinness book of records for throwing the most pots in an hour. He made 150 I came third with 75 – well he is 20 years younger than me!!
Now in 2016 I have just started back to making and will be using this quieter time of year to make new work, rebuild stock and get the website up to date in time for a trade show. I have applied for several shows and wait for replies, so far confirmed are two Potfest shows. I start the year at The British Craft Trade Show in April which is held in Harrogate, Yorkshire, while I am there I will visit the refurbished York Art Galleries COCA gallery for their collection of studio pottery, probably the best collection in the UK.
Every year I take part in the Craft and Design Magazines awards, you can vote for me and any other selected member on the address below.

A lot of potters use wood ash in their glazes, I collect ash from a wood burner in my workshop. When I have filled a large dustbin it's time to start processing it. Some potters use it unwashed if you do there is a good chance that the glaze mixture will change in time as soluble fluxes evaporate. The ash will also need to pass through a sieve so as to take the large particles out as these will not be taken into the melt.
First as the ash is taken from the grate it is passed through a garden riddle sieve which has holes around 7mm, this takes out the un-burnt matter. I then fill the bin with water and stir it, more un-burnt matter will float to the surface. The mix in the bin is now passed through a 40 mesh sieve, at the end of each sieve full I run a hose over the remains to help it through. I use a lot of water in this process so it helps to clean it as I go. The bin is left to settle, the water removed and then refilled. The process begins again through an 80 mesh sieve. After this remove the water top up with fresh and stir. It's now a case of letting it settle, remove all the water and dry the ash.
A recipe I use can be applied with a brush is 50 local clay, 30 ash, 20 whiting.
Ash can be caustic so wear rubber gloves and while processing dry ash wear a mask.

March 8, 2017 • PEOPLE, STYLE
DJ Dressed with Stephanie Taylor Jackson
The first thing you notice about Stephanie Taylor Jackson is her smile—decked out in daring shades of pink and red and unfailingly warm, friendly, and all-around beautiful.
The next thing you notice is her style—tailored, polished, and head-turning.
Based in Houston with her husband and two young boys (though they're moving back to her hometown of Dallas soon), Stephanie publishes an eponymous blog with a healthy dose of work/life tips and plenty of enviable outfits. Check how she rocks our spring collection.
How would you describe your personal style?
Classic and chic, but also practical. I love bold pieces. I love to overdress. I'm the mom at my son's basketball game dressed like I'm front row for NYFW and I'm not ashamed! But I'm also practical in the sense that I love to be comfortable. Everything I own is something I can run after my boys in, including my heels!
What drew you to these Draper James pieces and how did you style them?
When I saw the Dallas Pinewood Envelope clutch, I knew I needed it. As a Dallas native—and soon to be Dallas resident again (we're moving back for my new job in luxury retail)—I immediately fell in love. The top I chose because I was drawn to the print and the flair sleeves. When I saw it, I knew that I'd wear it with red lipstick, and I couldn't wait. The Goodness Gracious Sweatshirt was just too cute. I love a good saying and this top just screamed of Southern charm.
What's your fashion uniform?
A great pair of denim, a show-stopping blouse, and a great shoe.
What trend are you really into lately?
I'm loving ruffles. Everywhere I go, I see them and I, of course, buy them! I was going through my closet the other day and thought I might need to slow down.
What will we never see you wearing?
I'd like to say I'd try anything once, but you probably won't ever see me in platform heels or really short skirts, shorts, or dresses. Just not my style.
How would you describe Houston style?
Houston is so diverse and incredibly cultured. I would say Houston style is eye-catching and unique.
What's the difference between Houston style and Dallas style?
Dallas style is a little more put together, all the time. Glamorous. Chic. While Houston is a little more free and eclectic. A little less judgmental, frankly!
Where did you shoot these images?
In The Woodlands, right near the Waterway. It's beautiful there.

Bazaruto, Mozambique
So why do people go to Mozambique?
Our first real destination was a coastal town called Vilankulos, gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago. It took 9 hours of bus to get there (usually it's 12). It's also maybe like 1/5 of the way up the Mozambican coast from Maputo. Mozambique is huge.
That little boat is called a Dhow. You pay a nice man some money and he takes you places. Boarding:
And we're off:
Because we're cheap we only visited the closest island, Magaruque:
Nevertheless, it was like a movie. Dolphins in the water:
We were too busy being chill to take many pictures on the Island. Oops. But check out the sweet fuel system for the motorboat engine used when the wind doesn't cooperate:

OMG that place looks gorgeous! Also, you're looking right fit. Clearly the marathon running is paying off

Hand-salted Argentinian dulce de leche (caramel made from milk) is folded in with our housemade vanilla gelato and locally sourced chocolate chunks to round out this delicious flavor. Our local chocolate comes from Mindo 70% rustic dark chocolate, handmade in Dexter, Michigan. This flavor is a favorite for many, and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Try a scoop of this between two freshly baked Funky Chunky Chocolate cookies from Zingerma's Bakehouse.
|16 oz
Gelato is best when served at 15°F to 20°F. For serving an entire 16 oz or 32 oz portion allow the container to sit in your refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, so that it can warm up for scooping. If you are going to take portions out and return the container to the freezer, use a hot ice cream scoop to remove your portions. Once the gelato has been warmed to serving temperature it is best not to refreeze, as the texture will be compromised.
Get in the know! Be the first to hear about shop updates, sales, and featured cheeses and gelato.

Iceland is a remote island located in the North Atlantic Ocean on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is known worldwide for its immense geological activity and large glacier and has therefore often been nicknamed the land of ice and fire. Some people think Iceland is a city or a region in Europe or the United States but it is actually a very interesting country rich in history and culture.
Iceland is an isolated island in the North Atlantic Ocean often referred to as the land of Ice and Fire. Iceland or Ísland as it is called in the native language is in Northern Europe, and a part of the Scandinavian union with Denmark, Norway, Faroe Islands, Finland and Sweden. The island is situated in between the countries of Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Norway, South of the Arctic Circle.
The country has a population of about 350.000 people and a total ground area of about 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi). Due to its large land and small nation, Iceland is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe. Which might not be surprising given that about 10% off the country is covered with glaciers.
The native people, Icelanders speak their own language which is Icelandic and have a very rich history and heritage. The country was settled around 870 AD by Norse Vikings and there has been an ongoing settlement in Iceland ever since. The capital of Iceland is Reykjavík situated in the southwestern corner on the peninsula Reykjanes. It is home to over two-thirds of the nation but the second biggest towns are Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Akureyri.
Iceland is situated at the confluence of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates come together. Due to its located Iceland is very volcanically and geologically active with daily earthquakes and numerous volcanoes. Its interior, for the most part, consists of a terrain dominated by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers and glacier river that flow down from the outlets. But, even though the country is covered in glaciers and glacier rivers it is still warmer than most would think. We have the Gulf Stream to thank for that which brings in waves of warmer oceans, especially in the fall time.
Iceland, as a whole, is on one timezone, the Greenwich Mean Time UTC+0 (WET) and therefore follows the same time as Portugal, Canary Island and Ireland.

What is Iceland famous for?
Iceland is known for a lot of things, geologically it is known for volcanoes, glaciers and hot springs. The most famous of volcanoes being a glacier (a stratovolcano), Eyjafjallajökull, which erupted in 2010 and completely shut down all air traffic in Europe for many days.
It is also famous for gender equality and has been voted time and again as the best country in the world to be a woman. Icelanders also had the first democratically voted female president in the world, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir who served as the president of Iceland from the year 1980 to the year 1996.
The country is also known for its artists, be in music or contemporary art. The most famous Icelandic bands are Sigur Rós, Kaleo and Of Monsters and Men. The most famous singer is, of course, Björk and the most famous artist is the half Icelandic half Danish Olafur Eliasson.
Iceland is also famous for its green sustainable energy but the heating in houses, the local swimming pools, the electricity and even the greenhouses where our vegetables and fruits are grown are all run on this green energy provided by mother earth. In this Icelanders take great pride and have even in recent times found new ways to utilize it. First in the unbelievable harvest of bananas which made Iceland the biggest banana producer in the world and just recently with the geothermal brewing of beer.
Animals also play a big part in how Iceland is recognized but funny enough the Arctic Fox is the only known native mammal to the country. The Icelandic horse is widely renowned for its 5th gate, the soft tölt, where you barely move in the saddle and can ride for hours and hours without feeling sore afterward. The Icelandic sheep is known for its incredible wool and delicious lamb meat which has been marinated in the mountains of Iceland as they are let go, free to roam for months on end. The whales around Iceland are anything but shy and tend to come up close and personal to the boats that are there to visit them in their natural habitat. Around Iceland you can find up to eight different types of whales, the most common being the Minke whale, the Humpback whale and the Orcas.
The food in Iceland is of excellent quality and is something you will hear about from anyone who visits. The freshness of the product and the Nordic simplicity in the cooking makes for a wonderful combination and the people of Iceland are truly excited to share their tables with others. The most famous of Icelandic food is through not the best – the Vikings, back in the day, didn't live with such luxury as we do today with refrigerators and tried their best to keep their food eatable for as long as they possibly could with all sorts of interesting methods. People also had to survive on what the land gave and importation was very limited so as a result dishes like the fermented shark, the ram testicles in jello, the hanging meat, the smoked lamb, the dry fish and the skyr. Many of these can be tried at restaurants downtown and we encourage you to!
The Icelandic language has also been a great fascination of many for a long time as it is the closest language to the one once spoken by the Vikings. The closest to the language is Norwegian and Faroe but Icelanders are more likely to understand the Norwegian than they are Icelanders but the Faroese and Icelanders can, for the most part, understand each other.
The reason for the language staying so well intact is believed to have been the isolation. The people who lived in Iceland were so far away and could not easily travel to and from mainland Europe and therefore influences from these countries were very low.
Icelanders have also put great emphasis on maintaining the mother tongue and for example, make up new words instead of adapting the English ones. They are very fond of their language and celebrate the day of the Icelandic Language every year on the 16th of November.
Fun Fact, no other country published more books per capita than Iceland.
Iceland is also recognized as having established the world's first parliament which was founded at Thingvellir National Park in 930 AD. This same parliament had been ongoing ever since and is called Althingi. It is now located at Austurvöllur downtown Reykjavík.

And then you berate yourself for not asking? You're experiencing some angst, and when asked how you're doing you respond with, 'fine'. But you're not fine and wish you had someone to talk to about what's going on? Did you walk away from a conversation having not voiced your opinion out of fear of conflict or judgment only to get home feeling uncomfortable and frustrated? I've been there, and it wasn't until I learned about and started exploring Underlying Commitments that I began to recognise the roots of fear that kept me firmly planted in the past.
Where did they come from
For the most part, these were the first and strongest commitments that we experienced in early childhood. They were our coping mechanism for helping us to stay safe and to earn love and acceptance from those closest to us. For instance, some of my underlying commitments were staying quiet, remain invisible, and don't call attention to myself to stay out of trouble. Another was masking my true feelings if they were anything but happy. If I showed anger, frustration, sadness (or even too much excitement), I was sent to my room and told not to come out until I could calm down. My parents often dismissed my feelings as silly or invalid. These situations taught me that to earn love, acceptance and approval; I had to stay out of the way, be quiet and keep my emotions in check.
We don't know what we don't know until we know
As it turns out, those underlying commitments we made in childhood remain a prevalent part of who we are and how we operate in the world today. You'll recognise them in situations that feel frustrating to you. They'll show up in instances where you've kept quiet, but preferred you hadn't. They'll show up as excuses or evidence that proves why you can't or didn't do what you wish you had. Until we recognize them, underlying commitments will continue to impede our ability to show up authentically.
As powerful manifestors, we can create change
So how do you do that?
1. You get honest with yourself and recognise when and where you've been betraying yourself. Keep a journal and jot down the times you've left a situation feeling frustrated – review with your Life/Recovery coach or an accountability partner.
2. Look for and expose those old, underlying commitments that have kept you from honouring yourself.
3. Dig deep to uncover how your actions served you and kept you safe. Look back at your childhood and recall the ways you altered your behaviour to earn the approval of others.
4. And finally, make a new commitment that supports who you are. Do your best to stay conscious of your decisions and patterns.
Taking action and changing our behaviours can be very uncomfortable. It's important to be gentle with yourself while you navigate these new practices. Becoming aware of those things that have held you back is a HUGE step towards authentic expression. Make an effort to check in with yourself to ask if your actions are perpetuating the old, disempowering commitments – or are you cultivating and honouring the new commitments that will take you where you want to go?
Trust me when I say there's nothing more liberating than permitting yourself to be who you are. And remember, lasting change when carefully examined, is often merely a series of small acts of courage.

PEC student bags top spot in Oxford contest
Chandigarh January 12th 2007, Express News Service
This strapping youngster could well be the next Apprentice on Donald Trump's show given his business acumen. Manu Jindal, a fourth year student of Punjab Engineering College (PEC ), who represented India in the Youth Development Contest organised by Oxford University last year in April, has bagged top spot and will be awarded a prize money of a whopping 1000 pounds! What's more Jindal was shortlisted from 48 teams from all over the world. The contest, as he tells us, was organised by the ace university to promote entrepreneurship and had invited business plans from all across the world. The plans had to not only to have a commercial angle but some social relevance too.
As for his winning business proposition, Jindal explains: "I thought that Chandigarh as such has no centre for providing basic facilities to the households, even to fix a light point one has to look for skilled labour. So I submitted a project where people from slums could be trained and made proficient in these basic services. And later through marketing strategies they can be made available to different houses in the city." While other countries, as Jindal adds, have helpline numbers for providing these basic services, he wishes the same to happen in his city.
The contest had three stages wherein the first stage the participants were to submit a one-page summary talking about their project. In the next stage, only those who had got shortlisted had to submit a business plan with the comprehensive data. In the last and final stage, the contestants had to face a conference call from Oxford University and were required to answer a set of questions. Manu was able to clear all the three rounds successfully and was declared as the winner on the basis that his business plan was the most feasible and comprehensive one.
Speaking of Jindal's project, M L Gupta, the Placement Incharge Officer of PEC who was also Manu's guide, says, "I had full confidence in Manu and was sure that he will win the contest. He has been a very active social worker and I wish him all the luck in life." When asked what he intends to do with the prize money, Jindal answers: "I will definitely give some money to my college and with the rest I will start a project of my own to serve society." Now that truly is how winners speak!

Knowledge is a core value at SCG. This weekly column highlights something interesting learned recently by one of our team members. We hope you find it intriguing and informative.
We've been recommending LinkedIn campaigns, both organic and paid, to our B2B clients for a long time. They're a great way to get messages in front of a targeted, qualified audience, and we typically see a clear payback in engagement and conversion metrics on client websites from traffic that arrives via LinkedIn referral.
Recently, the site added a new advertising capability that will give us even more power with sponsored content—LinkedIn interest targeting. Now, in addition to being able to specify job titles or industries for ads, we can also serve relevant promotions based on a user's interests. And here's an intriguing layer—LinkedIn is not necessarily determining a user's interests based on things they've explicitly listed in the Interests section of their profile; it's gauging based on a user's engagement with content on the site.
Categories and interests within LinkedIn Interest Targeting
While the current targeting options are still quite broad, it's not hard to envision them quickly getting more granular. I expect that soon, even if I haven't spelled out publicly in my profile that I'm a grammar nerd, LinkedIn will probably start showing me stylebook ads due to the fact that I've commented on and liked my connections' articles on the Oxford comma. (I know what you're thinking, and yes, I am a riot at parties.)
Ready to incorporate LinkedIn interest targeting in your advertising? Get in touch!
Click below to get all the crazy good marketing insight from SCG's B2B Simplified blog delivered straight to your inbox. We won't bug you too often and we won't share your email. Promise.

The Guardian reports on a new study out of the University of Oxford:
Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet.
The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world.
Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
…even the very lowest impact meat and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.
"A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use," said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. "It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car," he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.
"Agriculture is a sector that spans all the multitude of environmental problems," he said. "Really it is animal products that are responsible for so much of this. Avoiding consumption of animal products delivers far better environmental benefits than trying to purchase sustainable meat and dairy."
The comparison of beef with plant protein such as peas is stark, with even the lowest impact beef responsible for six times more greenhouse gases and 36 times more land.
Subsidies for sustainable and healthy foods and taxes on meat and dairy will probably also be necessary.
One surprise from the work was the large impact of freshwater fish farming… [Not a surprise for those who have been paying attention to previous analyses.]
The research also found grass-fed beef, thought to be relatively low impact, was still responsible for much higher impacts than plant-based food. [Also not a surprise for those who have been paying attention to previous analyses.] "Converting grass into [meat] is like converting coal to energy. It comes with an immense cost in emissions," Poore said.
The new research has received strong praise from other food experts. Prof Gidon Eshel, at Bard College, US, said: "I was awestruck. It is really important, sound, ambitious, revealing and beautifully done."
Prof Tim Benton, at the University of Leeds, UK, said: "This is an immensely useful study. It brings together a huge amount of data and that makes its conclusions much more robust. The way we produce food, consume and waste food is unsustainable from a planetary perspective. Given the global obesity crisis, changing diets – eating less livestock produce and more vegetables and fruit – has the potential to make both us and the planet healthier."
Indeed, Plato noted 2,500 years ago that the best way to plague a city with inflammation, disease, disputes, and warfare is to ensure it has plenty of animals to eat. In a dialogue between Glaucon and Socrates, Plato wrote:
Socrates: "[I]f you wish us also to contemplate a city that is suffering from inflammation …. We shall also need great quantities of all kinds of cattle for those who may wish to eat them, shall we not?"
Glaucon: "Of course we shall."
Socrates: "Then shall we not experience the need of medical men also to a much greater extent under this than under the former regime?"
Glaucon: "Yes, indeed," he says.
Socrates goes on to say that this luxurious city will be short of land because of the extra acreage required to raise animals for food. This shortage will lead the citizens to take land from others, which could precipitate violence and war, thus a need for justice.
Furthermore, Socrates writes, "when dissoluteness and diseases abound in a city, are not law courts and surgeries opened in abundance, and do not Law and Physic begin to hold their heads high, when numbers even of well-born persons devote themselves with eagerness to these professions?"
In other words, in this luxurious city of sickness and disease, lawyers and doctors will become the norm.
The Independent adds that the
Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual's carbon footprint by up to 73 per cent.

No strangers to making electrifying Slots, Net Entertainment is back at its electrifying best with the Sparks Slot game and it's five reel, 20 pay-line set up.
As you might have guessed from the title, this game will create sparks in the game-play and the bonuses. Not least because we can choose to win one way or both ways. You heard me right. Now strap on those Sparks and let's get some prizes delivered.
We've set this up as a five reel slot, but in truth and in true NetEnt style the real case has drifted off into deep space. Instead our symbols hover in a galaxy somewhere in a reel-like structure, where the energy is sparkling and ready to ignite. The symbols look they are twirling bands of multicoloured energy, caught in a slow-shutter shot to create a whirling, sparkling pattern. As ever with a NetEnt title the game design has been developed superbly to create an immersive atmosphere and theme.
When the game loads we have the option to select either to win one way or both ways, a choice that can be switched at any point throughout the game with two handy tabs at the bottom of the reels. Switching between modes is therefore super easy and also instantly recognisable as the relevant mode.
The Win-One-Way mode has a backdrop of fathomless blue, while the Win-Both-Ways mode is a deep pink. Interestingly, switching between modes returns us to our previous win in that mode, a brilliant touch from NetEnt as it creates a feeling that we are switching between two coexistent galaxies.
As though traveling through deep space and winning both ways isn't bonus enough, Sparks boasts an in-game bonus feature that is another NetEnt trademark. The Expanding Cloning Wilds bonus feature occur on reels 2 and 4, with the Expanding Cloning Wilds landing on the reels and expanding up, down, both ways or neither. The symbol to the left of the Wild will now be expanded to the right, bringing a guaranteed win of at least three symbols.
If the Wilds expand this could potentially bring us a multi-row, multi-payline bet win, and if the Wilds appear in the same positions on reels 2 and 4 simultaneously the cloning will potentially bring us a five-of-a-kind win. And if we have selected to win-both-ways…well, you don't have to be an astrophysicist to work out how that could go.
Aside from these Expanding Wilds Sparks also features regular Wilds, which do the seemingly normal and boring substitution duties when featuring in a bet-line win.
With two Wilds, one of which expands, clones and basically has the potential to transform our sci-fi slot dreams into reality, Sparks has the potential to make this journey an extra special one indeed. As though we make a journey to two separate deep space galaxies every day. Well, you do if you're Net Entertainment.

Calcium Magnesium Carbonate, Fine Powder
Powdered calcium magnesium carbonate is a neutralizer for acid solutions and acidic soil. It is a safe neutralizer for soil because excess use of that does not raise the alkalinity of the soil. Manufacturers, laboratories and power washers who work with acids use this product to neutralize the acid before disposal.

As Mass. Weighs Social Marijuana Consumption, Chefs Test Out The Budding Business
Massachusetts Cannabis Chefs Joseph Nelson and Patrick Mulcahy started hosting infused dinner parties the day cannabis became recreationally legal in Massachusetts in December 2016 and utilize a sponsor to provide their "gifts."
Tara Sue Sharp dotes over a skillet of mushrooms. She sips a cannabis oil-infused mocktail as she readies a meal for a small group of guests.
Even though Sharpe has cooked these farm-to-table mushroom tostadas dozens of times before, she's extra careful now as she adds the key ingredient: a tablespoon of homemade cannabis oil slowly drizzled over over the already-simmering vegetables.

I became slightly piqued by Cameron's courtship of Lily, the event coordinator at one of the hotels that they stay. The fact that Cameron is part of a popular band means that he can nail any girl he wants--any girl, anywhere, anytime. So why is he after sweet Lily, the quiet and hardworking artist, who just doesn't seem like his type? Maybe because she was more of a conquest. Game on, right?
Propelled by witty and somewhat boorish remarks, story generates a competition of gratuitous bravado. But then what starts off as a game--as a one-night stand full of hot passion--quickly becomes a complicated mess in the throes of a band's fame and superficiality. Can romance survive the tight booking schedules, the endless tour dates, and the flashing lights of paparazzi?
For me, the life of a rock star is not as glamorous with the wild partying, the booze, and the loose women. In fact, I'd find it a little boring. Additionally, the "relationship" between Cameron and Lily was not that genuine or believable. How can you deem someone "special" within 2 seconds of meeting them? And for a rock star to put his fame on the back burner just to fit into her world? C'mon! Maybe if we had gotten Lily's perspective we might've figured out the reasoning behind this whole hook-up. But the fact that it was strictly told from Cameron's point of view indicates that this was an unbridled infatuation--it was just sex. It was kind of hard to take it serious.
With a few exciting moments here and there, this was an average, mildly trivial romance with a fleeting pace.
My rating: 3 stars

Order, Order
Brexit, a monumental act of self-harm, the result of a narrowly won referendum where the people were misled and deceived. The social and financial impact will be felt for generations, as it tears apart one of the world's oldest democracies and divides its people. Dangerous undercurrents are surfacing, people are experiencing anxiety, uncertainty is abundant and disorder is the order of the day. The government is in disarray, the opposition is no better. Watching events unfold is like watching a never-ending game of tug of war, but there is no winner.
In this video, two and a half years of some of the most important speeches from the House of Commons parliamentary debates on Brexit are distilled into 3 minutes. The voices are many and opinions varied. As the politicians speak and disrupt one another, their speeches blend into a chaotic chorus of voices, with only fragments of them identifiable. And the ever-present Speaker of the House, John Bercow is there, trying to keep the politicians in line using his famous catch-phrase "order, order". Meanwhile the flag of the United Kingdom gently waves, being pulled in all directions at an increasingly fast pace, as the Brexit deadline looms.

Herzog & de Meuron hang loose in Miami and reinvent the car park as a sculptural, flexible entity. Photography by Roland Halbe
The most obvious thing about Herzog & de Meuron's 1111 Lincoln Road is that it is a car park like no other. Rather than a piece of monofunctional traffic equipment, it wants to 'mix programme in unique ways that people have not seen before.' This it does, but it also does something more. Its centrepiece is a sumptuous work of architecture, both playful and expressive, using only one material: concrete. And then it does something else. It assembles a collection of elements - the sumptuous work, some houses by the same architects in a wholly different style, some finish off or sew up.
It makes a strong and distinctive place, while allowing strong and distinctive things to happen there in the future. It doesn't draw lines between its elements, between the different people who have helped make it, or between itself and its surroundings.
'Emphatic though it is, it's not quite clear where it begins and ends, in either space or time'
1111 Lincoln Road was 'envisioned' by Robert Wennett, a developer and art collector who declares that 'for 20 years I did things which were about being commercial. [So] I wanted to do something about legacy, about what I would leave.' He wanted to create a 'civic building' and, notwithstanding his choice of famous Pritzkertects, he wanted something 'absolutely not iconic. I was trying to solve a very important urban problem.'
The project's programme includes shops, a restaurant, offices, a rebuilt bank, some houses and a courtyard apartment for Wennett. He is also encouraging events - art installations, fashion shoots, wedding parties - on the decks of the garage itself. Its location is Lincoln Road, which runs at right angles to the parade of hotels along Miami Beach, and is the hub of such pedestrian life as the city has.
The road is enlivened by landscaping by Morris Lapidus, Miami's post-war genius of camp hotel design, and it has an inside-outside feel, with paving and planting making it seem, in a nice way, like an atrium with the roof off. Number 1111 is the point, at the far end from the ocean, where pedestrianisation stops and the street hooks into the armature of roads that shapes the rest of this car-based city. It is an interface between car and foot, a harbour, dock or portal.
This is a place that has fluctuated wildly with Miami's shifting fortunes. A century ago there were just 'trees and camels,' as Wennett puts it, in his office furnished with ocean views and intriguing art, before Lincoln Road was touted as the 'Fifth Avenue of the south'. Its status grew as Miami became a destination for glamorous travel, then plummeted following 1960s race riots and white flight. Since the 1980s it has risen again as the city has recovered. Now, thanks to events like the annual Art Basel Miami Beach art fair, it can add cultural sophistication to the charms of its climate and beaches.
The brutalist block on the site of 1111 was from the bad times. It was a bank built, in the era of Cold War and riots, 'to show strength'. The building is tough and forbidding but not without a certain impressive quality (if you can overlook its anti-social aspects), like the hard, rusticated palazzi bankers built in Renaissance Florence. For Wennett it is 'fantastic, so pure' and he admires the way its brise soleil dispenses with the need for blinds, which 'are the most ugly thing you can have on a building.'
Wennett opted to keep the building, despite the general view that it was a bunker. 'I never considered knocking it down,' he says. 'It's not my character. If you had free rein with the site it would never have been so interesting. It forces you to think. Great architecture comes out of the quirkiness of the site.' Instead, he built the open concrete frame of the parking decks next door, forming a 'diptych' of new and old, open and closed.
They did, however 'want an urbanistic, friendly, connected building' and so changed the lower two floors of the bank building from concrete to glass. A band of money-spinning retail (lingerie, sportswear, books) now runs along the bottom of both buildings. A rooftop restaurant on the old exploits magnificent views across Miami's low-lying art deco district.
And like an asterisk or a beauty spot, a shop selling select fashion brands stands alone five levels up on the parking structure.
After the old block and the new parking structure, the project's third element is a site to the side, where the relocated banking hall is placed, with inward-looking houses above it whose materials are 'Miami modern - terrazzo, concrete, fabulous metal gates - but in a totally different way.' Commercially speaking, the residential element is 'just frosting. It's not needed, but it makes the place more interesting.'
A fourth element is the re-landscaping of this stretch of Lincoln Road, designed by Raymond Jungles. It adapts the spirit of both Jungles' mentor Roberto Burle Marx and Lapidus' work down the street, with patterned paving and abundant planting. It eschews the ubiquitous palm tree, not actually native to this part of Florida, in favour of evergreen oaks, which are, and whose huge canopies create shade.
There are a series of art installations - a Dan Graham pavilion in the street, a wiry Monika Sosnowska slipped in to the parking area. Signage and identity are by brand consultancy Wolff Olins, creators of the Tate's fuzzy logo and the jagged London 2012 Olympics brand. Here they advised a subtle approach, with understated signage and minimum advertising. This extended to the PR strategy: there would be no flashy opening events, but a slow build-up of interest.
The thing around which everything revolves is the concrete frame of the parking structure. If Miami is a city of surfaces, of pink plaster and deco doodahs, this is a building without facades - naked, skeletal, abandoning the charming wrappings for which its architects are sometimes known. Even when finished you might think this frame is still under construction. Yet it is not without its own kind of extravagance.
Decks with extra high ceilings - the ones where uses like parties and installations are envisioned - combine with low ones to create a buzzy, syncopated rhythm, as do the Vs and slants of the pillars.
'Inside, the switches of expansion and compression, combined with broad views of sea, trees and buildings, create intrigue. You want to go to the next level to see what happens next'
It exploits the relaxed attitude to enclosure that the climate permits: if Lincoln Road is like an interior with the roof off, the parking garage is a landscape with a roof on.
What really makes it zing is the combination of spatial opulence with constructional refinement. The structure is detailed to give extra-thin leading edges, which makes this big thing look fragile and taut. The design seeks to eliminate 'everything about parking garages that people hate: low ceilings, overhead lights, narrow ramps, pipes and sprinklers.' All directional signs are in the ground, leaving vertical surfaces uncluttered. Barely-there balustrades at the edge of the decks give a certain vertigo to the act of parking, as if, like Thelma and Louise, you are about to shoot into the void.
I came to 1111 Lincoln Road expecting the idea of mixed uses to be more fully realised. I had imagined a street in the air with shops and cafés all the way up. In fact, it is more disjointed. Most of the shops face one way, and the restaurant is on the roof of the old building, disconnected from the parking structure. But these discontinuities create an open-ended place. It doesn't tell you what to do. It offers spaces to enjoy just for themselves, not because you might buy something there. It offers an alternative to the idea that public life always equates to consumption.
1111 Lincoln Road, among other things, is a work of deal making. It needed deals with the bank about their new space, and trades with the city's planners. Zoning laws specified total surface area rather than height, which is why the extra-high decks were possible and, because the planners liked the idea of this 'civic building', they were amenable. It is a project with many contributors -architects, artists, designers, planners, developers, retailers, restaurateurs and the people who will stage events there.
Wennett says 'this building is in motion' and it's 'like a performance piece.' He also says it's about 'twisting your sense of where you are, putting you in different perspectives, shaking things up, putting you where you haven't been before.' Property developers are rarely this quotable, but then property developers rarely do something like this. It's hard to describe it better than he does.

This bridge carried a railroad line originally built in 1869 and abandoned in 1973. It has since been given a wood deck and guardrails as part of a snowmobile trail. The plate girder superstructure appears to be unaltered and is a good representative example of a traditional through plate girder. The bridge sits on stone abutments that are capped in concrete. The stone portion may originally be from a previous bridge.

Review ASUS MicroFilm
Easily make slideshows with this Asus app
Author: Kevin Vadala
Date: 16 Jun 2017, tested on Samsung GT-I9500 Galaxy S4
Easy to use, simple
Slideshows result in silly and corny experiences
ASUS Microfilm for Android is another slideshow maker that takes a catalog of your pictures, pastes filters and transitions on them, and then produces them into a slideshow that you can share with your friends on various social media outlets.
It's quite simple to begin making your slideshow in this app. Like other apps of the same genre, you simply view your gallery and then pick pictures. However, Asus makes it very clear how many pictures you need; it's 20 pictures to make a slideshow with this app. After you make your slideshow from the pictures selected, you are shown various theme options that your slideshow may end up looking like.
Perhaps my favorite thing about this application is that switching and previewing the themes before you make your slide is very easy and intuitive. In other apps of the same kind, you might have to reload the whole slide show, or start from the beginning to see a different theme. Or you might have to pick a theme before you can preview the it, essentially locking you into something you might not know you like. However, there are apps that are similar in that they give you previews, but this one is quick and easy. It feels efficient that you can quickly browse the different themes simply by going down or up on the right side of the application, to look at the different themes available.
Now, as far as the themes go, they aren't really that amazing. You have to keep in mind that this app is essentially only a slideshow app. So, like all slideshows, your slide shows are going to look pretty cheesy and corny; and the music that goes with my slideshows doesn't really help. They are full of transitions that sweep across sometimes that look a little decent with different combinations of pictures being shown at once. Sometimes your pictures get shown weirdly, in that some parts of them might be cut off.
This Asus slideshow maker excels in that it's easy to use and the design feels very simple. I like that there isn't a lot of clutter in the app, and it's easy to switch things around and customize the slides with various music tracks. However I'm not a big fan of how the slides turned out, as most look cheap and a little silly. For those that don't mind their pictures being included in a corny slideshow this might be perfect for them.

Cryptocurrency investors and traders have seen a recent slump in prices after a relatively stable period. Bitcoin had been hovering above $6,300 for weeks but took a plunge in more recent times. BTC was down as low as the $3,500 level this past week, before bouncing back up above $4,000. Now it's returned back below that $4k level.
According to a Marketwatch report, Bitcoin was down to $3,988.91 at one point on Friday, losing as much as 5.2 percent since Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The latest sell-off came after Bitcoin had bounced over 20 percent from its previous low. Analysts from the UK's FX Pro Insights believe when the Bitcoin sold off at prices over $4,000 it was "short-term traders booking some profits." They also called $3,500 an "important support level" for the digital currency.
In addition to Bitcoin falling, so did alternate coins including Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC). The Ethereum price was down to $112,80, or a two percent drop, while LTC had fallen to $31.50, or down 4.8 percent. Other alt coins which saw their prices dip included Ripple (XRP) which was down four percent to 36 cents and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which had fallen to $172.40 (down 2.3 percent from its previous price).
There have been a number of analysts making comments with regards to where things are and where they maybe headed. Union Square Ventures co-founder Fred Wilson is considered a "true crypto evangelist" with investments in multiple blockchain-related projects. However, he feels the worst has not yet happened within the plummeting prices in cryptocurrency.
In a separate report, Wilson compared the current state of cryptocurrency to the dot-com bubble and Amazon stock (AMZN). In 1999, AMZN was $90 per share. The online retailer and tech product provider was down to a low of $6 a share in 2001 for a brief period. He mentioned that it took eight years for Amazon to rise up out of that internet bubble and become the juggernaut of an internet/tech company it is today. Amazon was trading over $2,000 in late September of this year. As of this report, AMZN was at just over $1,690 at the close of trading on Friday.
Wilson added that crypto asset prices "could and probably will go lower" than they currently are despite an 80 to 95 percent drop they've already seen. However, he believes that those who ride out the storm with certain crypto assets may see "a price chart like Amazon's current one in 18 years."

Why Worry About the Debt
By Scott D. Gillette
The most recent dividend and capital gains cuts
enacted by Congress and the Bush Administration demonstrate a positive
development within the past generation. In the 1970s, tax cuts were considered
dangerous and eccentric. Today, it is the conventional wisdom that tax cuts
actually stimulate economic growth without inflation. This is huge progress.
But this positive trend is dampened because too many
people cling to the notion that the enlarging deficits, exacerbated by the tax
cuts, create too great a burden on the national debt, and the nation's
collective prospects.
Well, the deficit does not matter. Neither does the
debt. So forget about it.
When I walk down the streets of midtown
Nope. All countries have debts. They have to maintain
a modern economy. The big question is this: can the countries pay them back?
That's why the key statistic is to measure the national debt as a percentage
of the nation's output (GNP) for any given year.
But what about the record deficits we're running
now? Well, as a percentage of the economy, they are not record deficits at all,
but quite manageable. Second, when one considers the enormous costs incurred by
the recession, terrorism, two wars, corporate scandals, the deficit is
incredibly light.
Now, I don't mean to minimize the loss of 2.5
million jobs of the past few years. But that condition just proves how urgent
tax cuts have become.
Here's the most important point: the deficits we
are running now can increase so long as they are incurred to improve long-term
economic prospects. Here's an example. Let's say the government enacts an
educational program for children and prisoners that costs $50 billion a year
over several years. Let's then say that the huge costs of putting a person
into prison are replaced with tax revenues because these same people are
working, and this swing comes to $100 billion a year. In the case, the original
deficit was well spent.
Now, I don't know if that specific federal program
would be wise or not. But tax cuts that encourage business activity and
investment, and the most recent cuts are just that, represent a sure thing and a
good investment. They will increase economic activity, guaranteed, so the
government will recoup the costs.
So Republicans, the party of tax cuts, should push
for more tax cuts, regardless of whether the country has a large deficit or
large surplus. Then let others worry about the deficit.
Jim Antle, a fellow writer and supply-side comrade,
recently argued otherwise: "Supply-siders
contributed to the undoing of their own policies by failing to favor reductions
in government spending commensurate with the reductions in taxes they
achieved." But this means Republicans have to rob the political interests of
Peter in order to pay Paul.
Remember the Contract with America? It proved that
Republicans cannot be a majority party if they want to reduce spending without
offering the American electorate anything in return. I'm not saying that
cutting government is a bad thing. But let's face it, it's not a winning
political strategy, and it makes future tax cuts less likely, because there
won't be a majority of Republicans to enact future tax cuts.
I admit I'd like the GOP to be a one-trick pony.
Cut prohibitive taxes and marginal rates now, tomorrow, and forever. These tax
cuts will depress revenues to varying degrees in the short-term, but increase
them in the long-term.
After implementing those tax cuts, some may try to
reduce government spending. That would be fine. Or the government will keep
spending money as quickly as ever. That's O.K. too. Because deficit levels and
the percentage at which federal spending increases pale in comparison to how
healthy the economy is. I'd love to have $600 billion deficits if it meant
that the unemployment falls below 4%, depressed areas around the country turn
around, and tens of millions of individuals find opportunity where once they did
not exist.
So when Mr. Antle says, "most supply-siders were content to lower marginal rates and hope that the resulting economic growth would generate enough revenue to continue funding the welfare state," he's right. It should stay that way, too. For the long-term interests of the country, I submit it's the best way to go.

Celebrate the sweet things with KORU®
The KORU® is truly a gift from nature. This extraordinary new variety came about in New Zealand when an apple was discarded in a rose garden. The seedling that sprouted would grow a brand new apple varietal that's phenomenally sweet and crisp.
KORU® apples are on the large side, with an attractive orange-red color over a yellow background. The shape is squat with some ribbing and russeting around the stem. KORU® is complexly sweet, with subtle tartness and notes of honey, orange juice, spice, and vanilla. It has also been described as cidery, due to its juiciness.
- October - March
- May - July
All about KORU®
KORU® is multi-packed at peak perfection following specific grade standards. These apples have a unique orange tinge and a consistently perfect quality.
KORU® apples keep their shape when baked, making them fantastic for pies. They are also slow to brown once cut, so they are ideal in salads or snacks. KORU® apples are good savers — they can be kept up to four months in the refrigerator, making them perfect for any busy household!
