Dynamic Drawing - CANCELED
Time: 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Instructor: Darin Grassman
This class will focus on three important elements of drawing: contour, composition, and contrast. You will learn how to move between the three, allowing each to enhance the others, and given time to learn appreciation for real "seeing." We will draw from observation as well as memory, discuss positive/negative space, line quality, abstraction, and experiment with value. Gain confidence and enjoyment from your enhanced drawing skills.

From our October 2007 post "Cap-and-Trade Market in Babies":
"When Britain decided to end slavery,The first time I used the Wilberforce line was in June of that year with this comment:
Wilberforce didn't set up a cap-and-trade system"
That's me, misquoting myself....
Thanks to Professor David J.C. MacKay for the slave market analogy.Clicking on that link brings you to the homepage of a guy who makes Hansen look like a snake-handling Pentecostal from the backwoods of Appalachia:
David J.C. MacKay FRSProfessor of Natural Philosophy
Department of Physics
Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.
His Wikipedia entry is basically "David J.C. MacKay, see: heavyweight."*
Here's Hansen in the peer-reviewed Guardian newspaper:
Nasa scientist: climate change is a moral issue on a par with slaveryHe jetted off to Scotland to receive the "prestigious Edinburgh medal".
I try to stay au courant with such things but am not familiar with this one. The Guardian helpfully notes that previous recipients are "Sir David Attenborough, the ecologist James Lovelock, and the economist Amartya Sen".
Alrighty then.
Back in 2007 Hansen was awarded the prestigious Godwin's Medal for this line:
If we cannot stop the building of more coal-fired power plants, those coal trains will be death trains — no less gruesome than if they were boxcars headed to crematoria, loaded with uncountable irreplaceable species.*Okay, I lied, there's no medal only the Law. But, for putting up with my snark here's a special gift, the draft of Dr. MacKay's wonderful "Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air".
|"...a tour de force..."
|The Economist
|"... a cold blast of reality ... a must-read analysis..."
|Science magazine
|"...this year's must-read book..."
|The Guardian
See how I brought it back around to the Guardian?
Hah! Sometimes you get lucky

Cornucopia's Twentieth Anniversary
Whistler is shrouded in a layer of white gold as the snow falls and Cornucopia, presented by BlueShore Financial, wraps for another year. As the gateway to winter in Whistler, Cornucopia ushered in a new season, kicking off winter with a celebration of Whistler's love for it's people, love of its village and appreciation for the harvest and bounty of the region.
Thank you to everyone who participated for making the 20th Edition of Cornucopia a success! To all our partners, agents, wineries, breweries, food purveyors, Chef partners, speakers and presenters thank you so much for your support. To all the local businesses, restaurants and hotels, thank you for once again showing the very best of Whistler to all our resort guests. And most importantly, THANK YOU to all our volunteers for your hard work and dedication! It takes a village to make Cornucopia happen… and we love our village.
People from far and wide came to partake in over 150 different events reflecting an entire village coming together in creativity, thoughtfulness and appreciation, meeting its goal of raising money for local organizations doing great work. As Cornucopia's 2016 partner recipient, Whistler Adaptive Sports Program provides year round programs for people of all ages with disabilities. Alongside Whistler Adaptive Sports, volunteers and organizations held fundraisers for the Whistler Public Library, the Audain Art Museum and Ecole La Passerelle. Cornucopia has raised over $500,000 to help community initiatives. Each year, Cornucopia events raise in excess of $35,000 for its named charity which changes every two years.
Cornucopia 2016 began with an homage to Whistler's culinary tradition as the community came together to honour one of its pillars at the Restaurant Association of Whistler's first ever Hall of Fame Ceremony at The Picnic: Cornucopia's 20th Anniversary Party. Through speeches, smiles, tears and toasts, they honoured Mario Enero for his outstanding contributions. In the words of Keeley Higgins, former manager of La Rua and Caramba, "Good food, good service, good people…Mario is a patriarch in Whistler's culinary and hospitality scene because of simple principles and a gift for sharing his experience and passion with the community and those who work with him."
It was the perfect kick-off to an 11 celebration where ten signature tasting events took place from Crush 20th Grand Tasting, anchoring the first Saturday, to Poured Grand Tasting, anchoring the 2nd Saturday. Attendees sipped and tasted the craft and passion of wine-makers, brewers, distillers, chefs and more.
This set the stage for the region's restaurant and hotel community to shine. Bringing their best work and most creative collaborations, over 50 different culinary establishments delighted and amazed attendees at restaurant and winery dinners, Cornucopia's Chef's Table Luncheons, Culinary Stage chef demonstrations, and more.
Cornucopia 2016 was also an event for the industry. Through workshops and forums, Whistler held space for the hospitality, wine and beverage industries to share, debate and exchange knowledge. Holding the WSET Level 1 and 2 certification with vetran wine educator DJ Kearney, as well as the first annual Cornucopia Wine Summit, Whistler saw some of the best mids in wine and hospitality come together.
And more. From Cornucopia Junior Chef for teen cooks to the Cornucopia Drink Series, hosting expert panels in over 45 different sessions, to the newly expanded Nourish Health and Wellness micro-festival where fresh ideas abound at Cornucopia it is safe to say the 20th edition had something for everyone. Cheers to the village that made it happen and the attendees who came to enjoy.
The 21st edition of Cornucopia takes place November 9-19, 2017. See you there!

Two teenagers were killed and at least 18 people were wounded early Monday when attackers raked a crowd with gunfire outside a nightclub here that had been hosting a party for young people, the authorities said.Sound familiar? Yeah, because it is. But this isn't even the main story of the day.
It kind of started as news, but then, you see, the victims weren't gay, or white, or blacks shot by cops, and the shooter (or shooters) wasn't a "terrorist," which really means he didn't have an Arabic last name, nor a "troubled" white kid.
Obama won't speak about it; Trump won't claim he can fix it. You know, it was just one of our "routine" mass shootings. The story is demoted to "Fort Myers shooting: 2 dead outside teen party at club," like these lives don't matter. Like this is acceptable in a civilized society. No matter a 12-year-old was killed, it's just "ghetto" crime. Dog bites man.
Just think of the news editors who really ask these questions before keeping "Convention Tension" as the lead story of the day.
What a country.

...is like pan handling as the show girls in Vegas get off of a shift.
You'd rather be a fan, a friend of business associate but you need money. it's showbiz, and it can be draining. Though I used to rent space in front of one of the abandoned buildings next to Museum of Modern Art for a couple of years the scene got too seedy and discovered New york's own little Rodeo Drive. West Broadway between Houston and Broome is a mecca for people who wanna be... and sometimes are.
It's hard to tell the cash carrying customers from the just curious tourist but I've gotten better spotting them. Who I am kidding I still don't have a clue! Unless a bleached blonde with five thousand dollars worth of Rodeo Drive leather and a smiley tan to match stops to peruse me and my art I figure you're trying to mug me. Okay, I know out of towners don't appreciate that hard shell we New Yorkers shroud ourselves in, so I mask my fear, apprehension, wariness, and possible paranoia with a pleasent, "Hi,...if you like any of my art work feel free to tell me". I'll be standing right over here...freezing...tired...hungry...Buy something! Like I said I mask my own trepidation at trusting people and try to be as friendly as possible because you never know what kind of angel can come into your days and brighten it. Come into your life and intend to be rich but the bottom line is to just paint, create, flminate even if I have to isolate to be alone long enough to let the ideas come in. Though the great connections are few, far between and unfortunately not followed up enough by me at times in the past it's almost miraculously rewarding sometimes.
These are the occasional dredges of society that pass themselves off as great art connections or caring acquaintances who have gained my trust only to be found out to have their own evil agenda but live and learn. I'm a little wiser, a lot more wary and hopefully less naive than in the past.
By and large the positives out shine the negatives. When luminaries like Robert Redford and daughter Sunshine stop and look it can't help but make your day! 'Bob' has an awesome blue light coming out of his eyes but what I really found astonishingly alluring was his taller than he blaze of red headed daughter. A Rockey Mountain beauty. Not so wholesome, super and not so super models smiling by don't hurt either but give me a Dallas debutante with a fist full of dollars and a hankering to spend it on my paintings any day. (But that's another story).
Money comes and goes so exposure is what an artist must really hope for him and his creations. The connection that put me on the map nationally was the campaign for Cointreau (the liqueur made from mandarin oranges in France). It was an out growth of the Colette series based on a young heiress I secretly adored (though I think her gigolo boyfriend knew). She was a perfectly imperfect statuesque beauty, that wore a giant sun hat and skin tight dress one day and has since inspired the bulk of the more mystical metropolitan muses I depict in my work (what-ever happened to that woman?).
The impact of the full page ad campaign was made mention of in Adweek, and how it won out over two competing agencies for the account. Several weeks later it was showcased in full color under - BEST - in Art Direction Magazine. Both excerpts are reprinted in these pages (so I'm tooting my own horn, don't shoot me). The next and most recent print exposure I got due directly to that opulent avenue was from of all places The Daily News. Not for my paintings but for my hand painted, high, high-heeled shoes. Cruel-shoes! Painted pumps! ...! Betty Page would be proud. I don't know what ever happened to that ol' B&W muse of mine but any woman gains a new allure from these new creations of mine (or, actually, from any decadent lift). The article is reprinted here and I take no responsibility for it's tabloid like lead in headline. No offense to the writer, Lenore Skenazy; we all have to make a living.
A short note about the shoes. I've always realized that high heels can be ungainly, if not un-politically correct to some women but I've grown to adore the way a woman is lifted to new heights of beauty by them. First I adorned my t.v. with a pair of teal blue shoes a neighbor/friend donated to me and then tried them on my models. "Amazing effect", I thought "...but what else could I do to personalize the picture?". Then I read an article by Lenore Skenazy (of Daily News) in New York magazine about a woman who painted whimsically angry sharks on ladies underwear (I don't know if I'd call a topless dancer's painties 'lingerie', but what do I know?). That gave me the brainstorm to buy some special paint to paint pumps, but I didn't do much about it. And I probably never would have except for an out of the blue intervention.
One day while I displayed my wares an angel appeared. She said she was an activist for the SoHo community board and would I be interested in helping to replace the demeaning depictions of women in the porn store windows with the strong, self assured sirens in my paintings. No argument from me! After they were painted and installed on West Broadway & Canal and Sixth & West Fourth I discovered that said activist, Margaret Setterholm, invented paint. Eureka! The rest is shoe history. Margaret is a genius with paint. The intensity of the color, which helps make my shoes so ...intense, is due to her bio-chemical wizardry. Her concoctions are so ecologically safe that she is coming out with an edible line of paints for children. From fabric to leather, awnings to metal her paint wears and flows better than any ever seen or tried.
In closing, though the streets have been good to me they are only a means to an end, and by no means a replacement for a gallery of my own. I guess I'll have to stop being so picky and let Mary Boone show my work in her gallery sometime soon (she's a lot cuter than Leo Costelli). See you at the opening.

Cayman Islands-Based OneTRADEx Is Top Option For Small Investors
New Low-Cost, Low-Minimum Caymans Option For Investors Looking To Diversify Globally
Fidelity Investments in the United States will no longer allow U.S. citizens living outside the United States to invest in mutual funds through their Fidelity brokerage accounts. Clients can keep existing mutual fund investments but won't be able to make any new ones. Depending on where you're living, you could be able to continue to invest in stocks directly through your Fidelity brokerage account…or not.
Fidelity isn't the only group with such a ban in place; Putnam and Vanguard have similar policies.
The simple solution for the would-be mutual fund investor would be to keep a U.S. address when you move overseas. Most every American I know who has moved overseas has done this anyway, and I make the recommendation generally. You want a U.S. address for receiving U.S. mail from banks, credit card companies, and, yes, your brokerage house. Could be the address of a family member or long-time friend or a P.O. Box in Miami.
Fidelity states that only a small number of its clients will be affected by this change, so I wonder why make the change at all. Maybe it's in anticipation of future further financial restrictions on U.S. citizens living abroad. Does Fidelity management know something the rest of us don't yet?
Certainly many people expect further restrictions on an American's ability to move money out of the United States, but it seems unlikely that the U.S. government wants to keep Americans overseas from sending and investing money back into the country from wherever they are living and working.
If you're unable or unwilling to maintain a U.S. address when you move overseas, what option do you have in the face of the new Fidelity Investments policy? Open an account at a private or an investment bank.
Investment banks make their money from fees rather than from lending like commercial banks. Therefore, they have generally high minimum account balances. Swiss banks don't want to waste their time on anyone who doesn't have at least US$1 million in investable assets. Banks in less expensive jurisdictions can have minimums of US$250,000 or as low as US$100,000.
What About The Guy Just Starting Out Building His Investment Portfolio?
That guy needs to find an offshore brokerage company with low account minimums, and that is not an easy task. During the last 18 years, I've found a few. However, in every case, the firm either wouldn't take U.S. or Canadian clients or charged fees too high to make trading small transactions sensible.
Finally, I believe I've found a good option. I've recently discovered a group out of the Caymans that is set up for small investors. This group charges relatively low fees and imposes low account minimums. Furthermore, they'll invest in U.S. mutual funds for you. Their fees are higher than those at U.S. brokerage houses like Fidelity…but Fidelity won't let you buy mutual funds anymore…
The group is called OneTRADEx. It's a relatively young firm run by two industry veterans. Their goal was to set up an affordable trading platform for individual investors who do their own trading (most investment banks offer only managed accounts, meaning you can't do your own trading directly). The firm is licensed by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and is FATCA compliant.
With account minimums starting at US$5,000 and stock trades as low as US$9.95, this group is perfect for the American abroad who is just starting his investment portfolio as well as the active trader who doesn't want a managed account at a bank.
I haven't visited their offices in the Caymans yet but have scheduled a trip for August. Meanwhile, as of Aug. 1, Fidelity won't let Americans abroad invest any more money in mutual funds through their Fidelity brokerage accounts. Now might be a good time to consider making a change. I'll report back more following my Caymans visit next month.
You can contact OneTRADEx at email@example.com or visit their website at www.onetradex.com.
Lief Simon
P.S. OneTRADEx can work with American and Canadian expats but can't deal with those resident in the United States or Canada directly. If you're living in the States or Canada, don't let this deter you. Set up an offshore LLC and open an account with OneTRADEx through that LLC.

Three new driftwood candle holders.
Hand crafted from wood I collected from Tyninghame Beach in East Lothian and Crackington Haven in North Cornwall.
After I collect the driftwood, it is placed in my outside wood store for around a year, then stored indoors for approximately three months.
The process of making starts with removing any bark with my bushcraft knife, then coring holes for the candles. This is followed by an initial sanding with two grades of paper using an electric sander, then the long slow process of hand sanding with another four or five grades of paper before two coats of wax and polishing.

Do you recommend any breeders? Opinions on the snake? Thanks in advance!

PSALM students acted as hosts and guides as their "Road to Ottawa" opened with a reception for the public on February 2nd at the Monongalia Arts Center in Morgantown, West Virginia. West Virginia television and print media attended as students welcomed over 150 guests. The exhibit will be on display until February 24th.
PSALM students, inspired by the people that "made it happen" and the continuing work to "finish the job" of a landmine-free world chose countries that signed the Mine Ban Treaty in 1997 painted artworks to celebrate this amazing achievement in disarmament history.
PSALM's art installation was designed to remind viewers of the importance of civil society in ensuring a more just and peaceful world for all.
Chair sculptures both small and large are a nod to HI's "Broken Chair" in Geneva. The sculptures are dedicated to the many campaigners, survivors and advocates who worked tirelessly to travel the "Road to Ottawa" and see through a new humanitarian treaty that, to this day, continues to save countless lives. Our work is not over until all are safe…a MINE FREE WORD IS POSSIBLE.
Mr. Steve Costner from the U.S. State Department of weapons Abatement and Removal attended the exhibit to distribute "To Walk the Earth in Safety" Report on U.S. funding of landmine removal. The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA) works with foreign governments and nongovernmental organizations to deliver programs and services aimed at reducing the harmful effects of at-risk, illicitly proliferated, and indiscriminately used conventional weapons of war worldwide.
Ms. Elise Becker from Marshall Legacy Institute also attended to help PSALM educate others about MLI. Marshall legacy Institute the donates highly trained landmine detection dogs to mine-affected countries and trains local handlers to safely use these dogs to find landmines. PSALM students hosted a bake sale to raise funds for MLI in hopes of saving lives.

I'll drive up to the Canyon later this morning, but first I wanted to tell you a little about the workshop I taught in New Hampshire. I've always enjoyed my workshops with New Hampshire Plein Air. It's a group of dedicated and enthusiastic painters led by the hard-working and well-organized Sharon Allen. I've taught for them several times, and I fully expected this workshop to be everything the others were. I wasn't disappointed!
The two-day workshop was held in the White Mountains in Bartlett, just a little ways from North Conway. The White Mountains have been the stomping grounds of outdoor painters since the early days of the Hudson River School. Apparently the Hudson and Catskills weren't enough for them, and they felt the need to explore the "sublime" in wilder country.
What made this workshop truly special was that we all stayed at the Bartlett Inn together. Run well by a pleasant and attentive couple (Nick and Miriam), we had a delightful stay with a full breakfast each morning. Our painting day ended with an afternoon tea and other refreshments. The Inn was not far from some of New England's best dining, so we enjoyed dinners out together nearby.
Warm weather let us paint from morning until late in the day. We had mostly scattered clouds and sometimes more than that, but the second day ended with a little rain. Still, that didn't happen until mid-afternoon, and the resourceful Sharon had scoped out a number of rainy-day places for us. We ended up painting under a trestle bridge along the creek, but our view was of a beautiful covered bridge.
Our first day, we painted along the Wildcat River in Jackson. I demonstrated how to paint rocks, and this was followed by a special tour, a preview, of a show of historic White Mountain painters at the Jackson Historical Society museum. It was very gracious of them to open up the show, still being hung, to us painters. I got to see a sketch by George Inness, plus work by Benjamin Champney and others. (Also included was work by Erik Koeppel and Lauren Sansaricq; though they are very much alive, they paint in the style of the Hudson River School.) Later, the group painted along Jackson Falls. I could have spent a few weeks painting there.
Our second and last day, we headed out to a view of Cathedral Ledge and White Horse Ledge. This is a view that had been painted by Albert Bierstadt, Inness and Alfred Thompson Britcher. The light was stunning on Cathedral, and I chose that for my demonstration. The group painted a similar view after I finished. Afternoon, as I mentioned, found us under the bridge and out of the rain. Although I did my critique the first day back at the inn, since this last day I had to leave directly for the airport in Portland, Maine, we did a critique among the rocks under the bridge.
I've included a few photos below to give you an idea of what the workshop was like. I'm planning another workshop here, most likely a three- or four-day one, in the near future.
Now, it's off to load up the van with painting gear! Oh, and I still want to remind everyone that my Paint Sedona workshops start very soon! Check out our new $600 workshop plus lodging package at www.PaintSedona.com

February's biggest holiday is Valentine's Day, and small business owners should start preparing as soon as possible to capitalize on the day's massive popularity. According to CreditLoan.com, February 14 is the second biggest holiday in the United States in terms of consumer spending, trailing only Christmas. The news source estimated that $17.6 billion was spent on gifts, greeting cards and food in 2012.
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to debut a new marketing campaign and reward loyal customers for their continued patronage. Entrepreneurs can distribute unique promotional products as small gifts and hold giveaways to attract holiday customers. Companies must actively advertise their events to reach the optimal number of consumers in February.
Small presents
Gift giving is Valentine's Day's most popular tradition, and candy is one of the most common presents. CreditLoans.com reported that 50 percent of consumers spend more than $20 on sweets for the holiday. Small business owners can participate by distributing small tins of their customers' favorite snacks.
Chocolate is one of the best confectionary delights, and companies can use different packages for their customers. For instance, every holiday shopper can be given small chocolate coins as tokens of appreciation. Alternatively, long-time customers should be given boxes of assorted candy as a way of saying thanks. However, some consumers may have chocolate or nut allergies, so owners should have other treats available for patrons who must adhere to special diets.
Promotional items can also be given as thank-you gifts. Customers always appreciate functional items like pens and tote bags, and some recipients even re-gift the items during present exchanges. CreditDonkey recently reported that 83 percent of consumers enjoy receiving regifted products during the holidays.
To celebrate Valentine's Day, companies should incorporate some of the day's imagery and themes. Instead of a standard corporate logo, hearts can be emblazoned on promotional pens while Cupid can be displayed on magnets.
Promotional events
A popular tactic for attracting holiday customers is holding promotional events and offering special deals. Business 2 Community suggests that businesses can attract customers by having unique giveaways from February 1 through 14. Entrepreneurs can provide different presents each day to encourage repeat business and generate brand awareness.
Promotional marketing products help businesses advertise well beyond Valentine's Day. The Advertising Speciality Institute (ASI) recently found that the average consumer keeps branded products for 5.8 months. No other marketing tools can offer comparable staying power.
Business 2 Community also recommends rewarding loyal customers on Valentine's Day by ramping up incentive programs. Businesses can increase rewards points and offer special coupons on holiday merchandise.
Holiday and event marketing
Companies should include Valentine's Day in their marketing campaigns to avoid stagnation. Consumers tend to ignore static content and enjoy when businesses make an effort to include holiday themes. Additionally, establishments can attract more customers to their promotional giveaways with timely advertisements instead of generic messages.
Greeting cards are popular in February, so entrepreneurs should turn to direct mail for some of their marketing needs. Companies can use holiday cards with personalized messages for recipients. Businesses can buy lead lists and send Valentine's cards to potential customers.
Direct mail is an analog channel in a digital world, however, so owners should be prepared to take their holiday advertising online. Social media is one of the best tools to use for Valentine's Day marketing, because companies can instantly update consumers on popular gifts and giveaways.
QR codes are another great digital marketing tool. Owners can emboss the digital watermarks on all of their promotional products and direct customers to special online offers or landing pages for holiday merchandise.

Exporting Open Hardware Data into GraphitePublished on
Beautiful dashboards for your home components, now with GPU and power usage
Update: 2017-11-01: I've opensourced this utility as OhmGraphite, It can be ran as a CLI app or Windows service. The code showcased here demonstrates how to get a minimal example running. See the repo for a more production worthy approach!
Hot on the heels of Monitoring Window's system metrics with Grafana are two fixes for the dashboard. Graphs about the GPU and power usage were missing from the dashboard, but I'm happy to state that I've fixed this with the help from Open Hardware Monitor, which is an open source application/library for reading sensor data from computer components. I was able to utilize this library to send this data into graphite to be displayed on my grafana dashboards!
The plan is to create a simple Windows service that will run on boot and feed data into graphite.
Open Hardware Monitor WMI
Open Hardware Monitor publishes all sensor data to WMI, but since I'm not familiar with WMI, it sounds like another layer of indirection from the hardware. I'd also like to not run the application, which I'm presuming is what is required to send to WMI. Not to mention I'd still need to write the code to export WMI metrics to graphite. Since graphite has such a simple easy API for feeding data into it, writing custom code will be the quickest way to see the data.
Open Hardware Monitor Library
I've mentioned that Open Hardware Monitor has a library, but did I mention that library is out of date? To get the widest range of hardware compatibility, we'll need to work off the master branch in the source code. It's inconvenient, but not a show stopper, as we'll just need to reference our local build in our code.
Hardware Caveat
Open Hardware Monitor is great, but there are some holes. My Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard has zero sensors registered. There looks to be an outstanding issue for this. The following pull request shows fan speeds, but not much else. I suspect there must be other hardware configurations where sensors are not detected, so user beware.
Once my motherboard support is added to the library I'll be able to add panels showing voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds across multiple components.
The Code
Since Open Hardware Monitor is written in C#, our service will also. Our code uses some C# features, so some syntax may look new to C# veterans (I'm certainly still getting used to it).
And can't forget the bit of code that is used to install our service:
And the command to install.
If you want to run the code interactively, make sure to run it as administrator for CPU power and temperature.
I'm calling the code "ohm-graphite". It has the potential to be packaged as a library or application for others, but since I'm still testing the waters (I mean, I wrote the code in a couple hours). So for other graphite + grafana + windows power users (and how many those are out there?), feel free to snag the code under MIT.
Can you tell when I stopped playing video games!

The Raven and The Gull: A Cautionary Tale
Listen. Do you know why the raven is so black, so black, so dull and black in colour? It is all on account of its obstinacy.
It happened in the days when all the birds were arranging their colours and the pattern in their coats. And the raven and the gull happened to meet midway between land and sea, and they agreed to paint each other.
The raven began, and painted the other white, with nice black blotches showing between. The gull thought that very fine indeed, and began to do the same by the raven, painting it a coat exactly like its own.
But then the raven fell into a rage, and declared that the pattern was frightfully ugly, and the gull, offended at all the fuss, simply splashed it black all over.
And now you see why the raven is black.
While reading Lucretius De rerum natura to research my writing on Emma Stibbon, I came across an uncanny echo of this tale in his discourse on colour.
'Since there is no natural connection between particular colours and particular shapes, atoms (if they were not colourless) might equally well be of any colour irrespective of their form. Why then are not their compounds tinted with every shade of colour irrespective of their kind? We should expect on this hypothesis that ravens in flight would often emit a snowy sheen from snowy wings; and that some swans would be black, being composed of black atoms, or would display some other uniform or variegated colour.'

MHA Today is provided as a service to members of the Missouri Hospital Association. Additional information is available online at MHAnet. Connect with us on LinkedIn.
Celebrate Missouri hospitals by visiting mohospitals.com.
I'd be shocked if reducing diabetes directly, or its influence on other chronic conditions peripherally, wasn't a component of your hospital's community health needs assessment. In varying degrees, diabetes is everywhere.
In April, HIDI HealthStats investigated the vast differences in diabetes diagnosis and care between not-so-distant Missouri communities. The message was clear — significant health inequities exist and population health work outside of the hospital is necessary to address the disease "upstream" in the communities themselves.
When a problem is as pervasive as diabetes, tackling it can feel overwhelming. And, tackling it outside the four walls of the hospital can lead to additional trepidation. I understand both reactions. Nonetheless, a growing share of payment is linked to outcomes that are influenced by factors outside of the hospital, and historically viewed as outside of hospitals' control.
Meanwhile, this month's edition of Trajectories, outlines strategies that hospitals can implement to target and manage patients with, or who are at risk for, diabetes. As I briefly touch on the strategies, let me lay the foundation with an old joke, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
Trying to do everything generally ends in doing practically nothing. Targeting the populations at greatest risk using available datasets allows program planners to identify and stratify the patient population. High-impact opportunities — generally patients at high risk for diabetes or existing high-cost super-utilizers with diabetes and co-morbidities — will emerge. The ability to find and reach these individuals will expand with additional technology and interoperability.
Health insurance disparities may emerge from the data and influence access and affordability of care for patients. However, investments in diabetes prevention could yield significant reductions in future diabetes-related uncompensated care costs. Prevention and management costs for supplies and prescriptions are only a small percentage of the overall national expenditures of $245 billion on diabetes annually. Nearly 90 percent of spending is for diabetes-related complications, preventable hospitalizations and indirect costs. Moreover, harnessing available technology — including telemedicine and patient smartphones — can enhance the provider-to-provider expertise and provider-to-patient contact that can help balance access and affordability challenges. There's additional good news on this front. Just yesterday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released the proposed physician fee payment rule. In that rule, they propose, for the first time, that providers can bill Medicare for diabetes prevention services. If approved, this new service would begin in 2018.
The prevalence of diabetes is far greater than those actually diagnosed. As many as 86 million Americans have prediabetes, a specific condition recognized by providers. Left untreated and unmanaged, one-third will have diabetes in five years. Screenings can help engage at-risk individuals and build their diabetes intervention knowledge. Not only are there significant screening resources available, but also partners are plentiful. As I mentioned in April, the grocery store Hy-Vee and our local YMCA were willing partners at a diabetes policy meeting in mid-Missouri this spring and will join MHA and other partners for the second meeting next week. Other conventional and unconventional partners are out there.
Guidelines for diabetes management are available and should be at the core of any program. However, they are a starting point. Individual care plans that reflect the patient's reality are essential.
Diabetes is preventable. However, prevention requires the patient's commitment to self-management. For low health literacy or low health access communities, the approach should be tailored to the factors that can influence self-management. Some strategies will involve cultural change while others will require education and better access to care, counseling and support. It is a complex condition requiring multifaceted approaches.
Each hospital, community and patient is different. The five-point strategy included in Trajectories is a framework for implementing a program; it isn't a program itself. However, a wealth of resources are available — many for free — to help support hospital efforts.
Diabetes may be pervasive, but the disease is personal. The best way to eliminate it is one bite at a time.
Let me know what you're thinking.

by OPA Professional
Exhibition: 26.03. – 28.04.2014
Essay by Nada Prlja (SIA projects' initiator)
This essay coincides with a new step in my life: returning to Skopje, Macedonia, after 16 years in London, and establishing a new platform for art and curatorial experimentation, through a wide range of media – public exhibitions; online exhibitions; international residencies and an agency. This context is relevant for this essay, especially as it coincides with my newly-formed perspective of the cultural scene/art system in Macedonia that I am currently revisiting. It is likewise relevant in view of the fact that the OPA group's proposal for an exhibition deals precisely with the very conditions which define the visual arts at this very moment in Macedonia.
I enjoyed observing Dana and Denis preparing the exhibition, gently unfolding the immense sheets of paper, carefully maintaining the flatness of their surface and closely checking for dust particles and indentations. The paper sheets (300 gsm, white, grey, red, black sheets…) contain fine and precise drawings with a multitude of lines made by coloured marker pens. Feeling somewhat anxious about the growing desire to indulge in the sense of visual pleasure provoked by these interwoven lines, I ask myself: how were those lines made? Why do they interlock in the ways that they do? By asking myself those questions, I am stepping into the 'safe grounds' of contemplating the production of fine art. But instantly, the question arises within me – am I trapped in that most misleading and misguided approach to the evaluation of visual art – assessing the work of art according to the artist's method of (physical) production of the work?
I recall a review of Matthew Barney's exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, in the Telegraph newspaper: 'Matthew Barney – perhaps the most original artist alive – has his first UK show this week. Dorment was given exclusive access to his extraordinary creative process…' *1
After numerous years of working as an artist, I still find those highlighted words puzzling. What does it mean to describe something as being 'most original'? How do critics define 'originality'? How is Richard Dorment actually, physically observing this 'extraordinary creative process'?
The members of OPA have often tried to dematerialize the work of art (Announcement, 2011; Bollocks, 2009); furthermore, they also made themselves into a service (Professional Site-Specific Installers, 2004), but they have never previously contemplated a 'return to the origins' of fine art production, where words such as 'original' or 'extraordinary creative process' may be applicable.
One wonders if there are any particular motives that influenced OPA to create OPA Professional project? If this remains (intentionally) unclear, the following set of thoughts explain (with certainty), why OPA Professional has been selected to inaugurate the opening of the Serious Interests Agency in Skopje.
Reason 1 – In the recent work by younger generations of Macedonian artists, the return to beauty, formalism and visual attractiveness, is evident – it is work in which classical norms of aesthetics prevail. In this work by younger Macedonian artists, there is little, or no, direct (or even hidden) critique of the art-world as a system. There is no interfering with the position of authority, elitism or conformism, nor is there any serious engagement with social/political issues, which otherwise characterises the work by earlier generations of artists – the generation to which OPA belongs. *2
Perhaps the OPA Professional project, is an attempt by OPA to come closer to the contemporary flows within the art-world, an attempt to make themselves more appealing or relevant to certain critics, curators and potential art buyers. OPA Professional represents a certain fading-out, or withdrawal of OPA's position as conceptual artists, in order to align themselves with the contemporary canons in our society, as this seems to be the only framework within which artists in Macedonia today can operate.
Reason 2 – While revisiting the Macedonian art scene, I realised that many artists do not 'stay true' to their aims. Indeed, a number of artists are producing work that may appear to have been authored by two completely different artists. For example, the public may encounter an artist whose work is genuinely socio-politically engaged, while simultaneously the same artist produces other works primarily dealing with pure (abstract) forms, stylish colour schemes and general compositional issues. Such artists occupy two totally different identities, which could not even be associated with a 'pret-a-porter' fashion production (where the same collection is translated and produced into a cheaper version for the wider public) as the artist's two identities are essentially against one another.
This form of duality, or even schizophrenia, is supported by both the art institutions and various funding bodies: cultural workers; art critics, curators, art buyers and finally also the media – who are all essentially responsible for this approach of 'anything goes'. This situation in the sphere of culture, is a reflection of a general inconsistency in the society around us, where politicians opportunistically swap sides – from left to right, right to left, and again from right to left… without really taking a position and stating a firm set of beliefs.
Does this exhibition, therefore, represent an attempt by OPA to 'join the club' or an attempt to find ways in which to enable another, alternative, 'factory-made' (self-generative) mode of artistic production?
Reason 3 – OPA Professional intentionally applies the methodology of various techniques, skills and styles learned while the members of OPA studied at the Faculty of Fine Art in Skopje, Macedonia. This exhibition consists of ten works on paper, that could be judged according to the artists' ability to apply an academic set of skills and visual, aesthetic values, such as: the quality of line weight, the ability to artfully apply a well-balanced colour scheme, etc. OPA Professional project could therefore be evaluated from the standpoint of academicism, by local academics.
We (SIA) would like to invite local academics and critics to make their assessment and evaluation of the exhibited work according to such criteria. However, before any such attempts are made, I would like to ask the following. Does this kind of work make their other works, produced by the OPA group collaboratively since 2001 – non-academic and therefore irrelevant, even non-existent? The ten exhibited drawings are signed with the signature OPA Professional; should OPA therefore sign their other projects with the name OPA Amateurs?
And, by extension, could/should the work by all other Macedonian artists, that have likewise endeavoured to escape academic and aesthetic canons, be signed as work by amateur creators? Neither OPA, nor any of us other Macedonian artists whose work is more conceptual, contextual, site-specific, performative, etc. – have been formally educated for these specific ways of thinking and working.
In conclusion, I am not certain whether or not OPA, in their project OPA Professional, are applying any aspects characteristic of their previous work – a sense of layering, criticality, an aspect of cynicism or 'game strategy'. However, I am certain that by exhibiting these 10 drawings of 'nothing', that there is 'something' in this exhibition. Something that accurately and acutely mirrors the current conditions within the Macedonian art system and society in general.
Artists: be anxious about what you see in this exhibition.
*1 Richard Dorment, Title: Matthew Barney: A visionary straining at the leash, 18.07.2007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk
*2 Although this shift in the understanding and creation of visual art is characteristic of recent Macedonian art, this approach extends beyond borders and could be seen as a current international 'fashion' in contemporary art.
About OPA
OPA Professional is а project by OPA group (Obsessive Possessive Aggression), working on the borderline of art, media and performance. OPA researches social, cultural and everyday issues, as well as researching the ways of thinking and behavior of certain communities in shifting social and political conditions.
OPA OPA was founded in 2001 by visual artists Slobodanka Stevceska (*1971, Skopje, Macedonia) and Denis Saraginovski (*1971, Skopje, Macedonia). Both artists studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje. OPA has had solo exhibitions in Macedonia, Estonia, Slovenia, Croatia, France, Germany, USA and the Netherlands. OPA has also exhibited widely in group exhibitions and festivals, such as: Transmediale, Berlin (2005); Transeuropa – European Theatre and Performance Festival, Hildesheim (2006); Freewaves' Biennial of New Media Arts, Los Angeles (2006); Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2011); etc. OPA has received residency fellowships in Estonia, France, Germany and Switzerland.

Engaging students in Work Integrated Learning: drives and outcomes
Bandaranaike, Suniti, and Willison, J. (2011) Engaging students in Work Integrated Learning: drives and outcomes. In: Proceedings of WACE 17th World Conference on Cooperative & Work-integrated Education. pp. 1-12. From: WACE 17th World Conference on Cooperative & Work-integrated Education, 4-17 June 2011, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Whilst there are numerous methods of assessing Work Integrated Learning (WIL), finding one which delivers effective feedback is critical to motivate students. Much current WIL assessment is textual and does not permit dialogue between student and assessor. The aim of this paper is to present a technique that will facilitate a two way discourse on performance and learning experiences and create awareness to adaptation, in the workplace. The drive or motivation to engage in WIL was trialled in this study from formative feedback received via face-to-face interviewing. The Work Skills Development Framework (Bandaranaike & Willison) was used to model the interview content, and feedback gathered from a total of 84 students and employers over a period of 10 months. Based on the results of the interviews, the paper articulates the need for lifelong learning outcomes beyond the immediate work-based experience through a practice based learning model of WIL designed on the Prochaska and DiClemente's five stage Model of Change (1982). The study noted the value of face-to-face assessment in achieving validity, reliability and contextual authenticity in work-based learning research. The research also demonstrates the need for students to reflect beyond the work-based learning experience and project towards future challenges thus bridging the gap between tacit and explicit learning.

Model behavior; New York Fashion Week
With the beginning of fashion season in New York, our excitement to see how our favorite designers see the image of next summer is growing. With new trends, equally we are excited to see all the street style photos or maybe found us in street style section on our favorite fashion blog. Also if we didn't see them in personal, we want to know around which models was buzz this season, so on the forums on fashion spot soon some member will count how many shows each model opened, closed or appeared in.
Fashion week is very stressful time of the year for a model. Running from show to show demands good flats, fittings comfortable clothes and cameras around demand that they are always looking like having fun. Not mentioning the after parties they have to attend. Maybe that casualness about style of models is probably a reason why backstage or street photos became our cultural ritual and exits after the show stalking places. And most of us would ignore the stress and the tension that these beautiful girls are going through and immediately trade places with them- just think of all beautiful clothes, parties and gift in clothes. And they get a paycheck. We would volunteer!

Queens, NY Cushman & Wakefield has arranged the sale of a four-property, 69,802 s/f, multifamily residential portfolio located nearby JFK International Airport in the Springfield Gardens. The final closing price was $14.1 million.
A Cushman & Wakefield in-house sales team led by managing director Stephen Preuss marketed the Springfield Gardens portfolio on behalf of Powerhouse Development Corp. Other members of Preuss' team included associate director Denise Prevete, senior associate Kevin Louie and associate Andreas Efthymiou.
"This was a unique assemblage of newer stock apartment buildings in the JFK submarket of Jamaica. Most of the multifamily product in this area is older, pre-war, or affordable, so these mid-luxury quality assets fill a real need in this neighborhood and the buyers understood this dynamic" said Preuss.
The individual properties include 176-20 S. Conduit Ave., a fully leased, two-story,14,400 s/f multifamily building with 16 units, and 14606-14624 Farmers Blvd., which consists of 10, two-story townhouse condos totaling 8,952 s/f. The portfolio also includes 177-16 S. Conduit Ave., a 20,200 s/f, two-story, 16-unit multifamily building, and 177-50 S. Conduit Ave., a 42,734 s/f, four-story, 20-unit multifamily condo.
Each property features an on-site handyman, super, parking, and a laundry room, in addition to a range of amenities.
The four properties are located within walking distance of each other, and all are in close proximity to the Van Wyck Expressway, Cross Island Parkway and JFK International Airport, and are easily accessible by the LIRR Laurelton station.

Next week, the annual CANHEIT conference kicks off at UNB in Fredericton – and while there will be plenty of east coast charm to welcome delegates, it's the conference program that will really make the CANHEIT experience meaningful.
Wayne Hansen is Student Technology Manager at UNB Saint John. He's also a contract academic for the university's Faculties of Arts and Computer Science. He has served on the CANHEIT program committee before, but this year was his first as Program Co-Chair – alongside his colleague, Peter Jacobs, UNB ITS's Director of Research Support Services.
"Over the last couple of years, we've really seen the CANHEIT program put technology into a broader context," Wayne said. "It's clear CANHEIT attendees are thinking about how IT impacts faculty members and students. It's nice to see the realization within IT departments that technology is having a broad effect."
He says part of what makes this year's program special is that the program committee gave presenters lots of freedom in selecting their specific presentation topics.
"By looking at the EDUCAUSE Top 10 Trends and past CANHEIT programs, and by drawing from discussions at CUCCIO members meetings, we narrowed in on seven streams, but within those streams, we really gave folks a blank slate," Wayne said. "Because we took such a high-level approach, it gave presenters lots of leeway, and as a result, this year's program has great representation across geography and disciplines. It's one of strongest programs I've ever seen."
One topic Wayne says features prominently throughout the program is security.
"From assessing threats and risks in post-enterprise environments, to an information security panel, to developing secure web applications and more, the security stream is really strong, with representation across the country from many institutions," he said. "It's a really hot issue right now.
"We're also seeing a major emphasis on technology's impact on teaching and learning," Wayne continued. "We often talk about service delivery, and various aspects of technology through an IT lens, but this year, for perhaps the first time, there's a really strong teaching and learning component."
Wayne says it's great to see a growing number of presenters come from positions outside the traditional IT department. To him, it means that a growing population is interested in issues that were perhaps previously relevant only to IT professionals.
"The category with perhaps the most sessions is the 'ever-changing technology' stream, which looks at where technology is now, and where it is going," he said. "It will be interesting to see where people take it – from digital convergence, to using a book club to support organizational change, to seven IT ideas to change the world, to really technical talks on things like addressing IPV6. It just goes to show that IT is evolving, and that people on the ground are thinking about it."
Wayne says that's what CANHEIT is all about: identifying what is foremost on the minds of Canadian higher ed IT community members, and then providing an environment for engagement.
"It's all about identifying what the trends are and making sure you capture them, without being afraid of stepping outside the comfort zone and giving presenters freedom to get creative," he said. "CANHEIT is doing a great job of giving people a forum through which to discuss what is important to them."

Rotherham child sex abuse scandal "may have more than 1,500 victims"
THE scale of child sex abuse in Rotherham may have been underestimated in the report which lifted the lid on the scandal, it was claimed today.
The National Crime Agency said Prof Alexis Jay's estimate that 1,400 children from the town had been groomed and sexually abused in the town between 1997 and 2013 may fall short of the real total.
As part of the latest update on Operation Stovewood, its investigation into allegations of abuse over the 16-year period, the NCA said "our analysis puts the potential number of victims and survivors at 1,510".

Police identify more victims of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham than first thought
There are more victims of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham than first thought, it has emerged today.
In 2014, the author of an independent report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham suggested around 1,400 victims had been identified.
But today, the National Crime Agency, which is investigating historic offences committed in the town between 1997 and 2013, said the figure has risen to 1,510.

Rotherham child sex abuse: Inquiry finds 100 more potential victims
The number of potential victims of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham has risen to more than 1,500, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.

Project Date:
August 2009
Individual solution for managing the Adobe Flash frontend 23e22.com via browser.
23e22 (Twenty Three East Twenty Second Street) was supposed to become a new residential building in NYC, built by one of the most famous architects these days: Rem Koolhaas (Office for Metropolitan Architecture).
The whole CMS (a heavily customized MODX) generated the entire content of the Flash site: From navigation to text, images, virtual walkthrough galleries, PDF downloads, and much more. The "glue" between the server and Flash was XML and JSON.
Sadly, the Flash website went offline, once the whole project died due to lack of financing, hence no demo or archive has left online.

As we enter into the heart of winter, now is a good time to really prepare for the cold. Warming circulatory tonics can be a great way to increase circulation, internal warmth, and increase resistance to colds and flus. Circulatory tonics can be especially helpful for folks whose hands and feet are often cold.
Here are some helpful suggestions for keeping warm this winter:
Ginger: A warming circulatory tonic that is also beneficial as a digestive tonic, warming the digestive organs and stimulating digestive secretions. Drinking ginger tea everyday can be a great way to increase circulation and warm up. The dried roots produce a more warming effect than the fresh roots, but either can be used for this effect. For colds and flus ginger is an expectorant, thinning mucous and clearing it out of the body. Circulatory tonics like Ginger can also help with muscle and joint pain, bringing warmth and circulation and acting as an anti-inflammatory to cold achey stagnant joints.
Gingko: Improves circulation by promoting blood flow to brain and extremities. It is used to improve cognitive performance and memory by increasing blood flow to the brain and acting as a vascular tonifier.
Prickly Ash: A heating circulatory tonic. It is great for any signs of poor circulation and especially useful for folks whose extremities are cold. Prickly ash is stimulating and diaphoretic, meaning it opens up the pores and helps toxins move out of the body through the skin.
Cayenne: Heating and promotes circulation. Sprinkling cayenne in shoes can help warm the feet and heat the entire body up. Including cayenne in foods is also a good way to add some warmth, try adding to soups and salad dressings. Cayenne is also high in vitamin C, helping to keep colds and flus at bay. It is also diaphoretic, antiviral, and antiseptic.
Rosemary: A great circulatory tonic, increasing blood flow throughout the body as well as helping promote blood flow to the brain. Rosemary tea can be drunk daily to support circulation as well as to deal with caffeine withdrawals.
Fire Cider
Fire cider is one of my favorite herbal formulas to make! Its simple and a great way to help increase circulation,warmth and fight off colds and flus. Fire cider is a remedy made using warming and spicy herbs extracted in Apple Cider Vinegar. Fire Cider stimulates digestion and opens pores, helping to move toxins out of the body. It is energizing, antibacterial and antiviral. It can be great to take daily as a preventative as well as to help fight of colds and flus. Try mixing with honey to ease a cough, adding to salad dressing, or diluting in water to drink.
(either fresh or dried)
½ cup horseradish
¼ cup garlic
½ cup onion
½ cup ginger
½ cup burdock
Dash of cayenne
Apple Cider Vinegar
Directions: Chop all ingredients. Fill a 32 oz jar with veggies and spices and cover with Apple Cider Vinegar. Place wax paper or cloth between jar and jar lid, as the vinegar will eat the rubber off of the jar lid if there is not a barrier. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for two weeks to one month. Strain and enjoy! For fun, fire cider can be made on the full moon and buried and then dug up on the next full moon. Make sure to label your cider with the date made and ingredients. Store in the fridge for maximum freshness.
Have a great winter and stay well!

We are currently visiting areas of NSW to hold consultations with people with lived experience of mental illness.
We will be asking people about the mental health system and other structures that affect people with mental illness, such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It is only by listening to people with a lived experience of mental health issues that we can make a system that works for everyone.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to talk to people about issues faced by their community. We know different communities face different issues, and that people with mental health issues have diverse experiences.
We will use the feedback from these consultations to advocate to our government for change, and to drive our agenda for the future. We work with people to achieve and support change to improve the mental health system.
"The voice of people who experience mental illness is vital to change the hearts and minds of government and services. We need to make sure that the people that set policy and deliver the services we use are well informed of the way we, as customers, want the system to run" Sage Green, A/CEO, Being.
Consultation in Newcastle:
Do you have lived experience of mental illness? Are you interested in having your say about the mental health system?
Where: Heritage room in Wallsend District Library, 30 Bunn St, Wallsend NSW 2287
