Welcome to Donna Weaver, who is providing a guest post today in honor of her "Torn Canvas" blog tour. Enjoy Donna's musings on her road to publishing!
I wasn't ever going to be published. I got into this writing gig because I wanted to learn how to write my personal history. Now I'm having so much fun, I wonder when I'll get back to that.
· * Reworked manuscript for three months and resubmitted.
· * They made an offer, and we had a deal.
So, what do you do when you have a series where the first book's been published by someone else? I write clean romance, and I didn't want to be pressured to write steamier. My old publisher had been wonderful to work with, so how could another publisher even compete?
I'm grateful for what I learned and the publishing connections I've made. I can't imagine going indie on my own.
Being indie is wonderful and awful.
· * Wonderful--I love the freedom of making the final decision, but I'm careful to consider seriously anything my trained professionals advise me to do.
· * Awful--I have to work harder for the same credibility, and I don't have the connections or reach that a publisher has.
Thanks for having me over, Brooke!
I'm enjoying Torn Canvas. I wish I was on a beach, sitting in a lounge chair and had all day to read it, with a cabana boy to bring me... But alas, I gotta grab an hour or two before bed.
Great interview. Those questions will hit home with a lot of people in the business. Thanks for hosting Torn Canvas by Donna K. Weaver and we hope you'll continue to find awesome reads with Lady Reader's Bookstuff Blog Tours in the future.

Organised religion is doing such a bad job of explaining what it doesn't like about "mitochondrial donation" that it's tempting to conclude that there is no ethical issue at all, merely the same sort of superstition that once fuelled moral panics about heart transplants. But in calmer mood, the churches could have produced three potentially more serious objections – none of which, however, are persuasive in the end.
First, there is the perennial worry, for Roman Catholics especially, about the sanctity of life from conception. This is the same argument that requires a blanket ban on abortion, and if you're not convinced in that context then you won't be convinced here. Science no longer imagines conception as a "ping" at a particular instant, but rather as a process that isn't complete until the zygote starts to divide and multiply. One of the two new therapies harvests a fertilised egg before this has happened; the other tinkers with eggs before they've been fertilised at all. Nor can it be said, at least without invoking jesuitical distinctions, that the new science takes us into a terrifying new badland where early life is cheap: IVF clinics already call into being many embryos that they know will not get used.
Next, there is the old anxiety about the door that's being pushed open. Once the scientists have got licence to ward off particular diseases, might they come back demanding that they be empowered to act on parents' wishes about gender or even skin colour? Ordinarily, there might be something in this, but mitochondria really are self-contained, not merely in this legislation but also as a matter of nature. The DNA involved, a fraction of a per cent of a person's total, exists in discrete packets, well away from the great bulk of the life-giving code that's bundled up in the nucleus.
The final potential concern is that the therapy involves "playing God", an objection that simply cannot be allowed to stand. There are women who, because of some microscopic flaw in their cellular machinery, have been condemned to go through six or seven pregnancies, only to lose every baby within hours. Bishops who accuse us of playing God must answer honestly the question of whether they worship a deity who wants children born to such a stunted fate. If they don't, and He doesn't, He would surely want them to do what they can to prevent it. Which means supporting mitochondrial transplants.
This article was amended on 4 February 2015 to correct a reference to mitochondria from the singular to the plural.

Teachers crying out for volunteers in schools
The need for Inspiring the Future is clear, so volunteers better get on board
Education Events Inspiring the Future Australia
We need to give young people a chance!
Young people in Australia have a wealth of career options at their fingertips, but do they really know about them? For the last 5 years, the youth unemployment rate in Australia has continued to rise, settling now on 13.3%. The need for a motivated and skilled workforce coming from our schools is becoming more urgent as our population is ageing. Inspiring the Future Australia (ITF) aims to address this issue by connecting schools with volunteers from the world of work with the click of a button.
Teachers can't get enough of ITF
Since March alone, we've had 50 teachers sign up to use the ITF platform, and that number is growing by the day. They, better than anyone, understand the need there is for authentic connections between young people and the world of work. Even though you may think information is readily accessible today, and all young people need to do is read about others work life. "95% of young people would like employers to be more involved in providing advice and guidance about careers and jobs."
You don't need an amazing story to volunteer
Students in Australia want to hear real experiences, from real people. Everyone in every industry has something to contribute! Match the enthusiasm of Australian teachers by signing up as a volunteer and make a difference in the lives of young Australians. At the heart of ITF are volunteers talking informally about their job, career and their educational route, in order to broaden the horizons and raise the aspirations of young people. Volunteers just like you! Click the orange sign up button and make an impact today.
Inspiring the Future launches nationally
NSW Education Minister and Minister for Western Sydney launch campaign on April 3rd

Q: prevent display duplicate titles on main page I am using a automatic rss post reader on my website and there is a problem with this plugin that sometimes publish duplicate posts.I can't do anything to this plugin but at least it is better if I could prevent to display the same titles on main page.
here is my code

<?php
                    $portfolio = new WP_Query(array(
                    'post_status' =>'publish',
                    'post_type' =>'post',
                    'cat' =>''.$link1.'',
                    'posts_per_page' =>'9'
                    ));
 if($portfolio->have_posts()) :
                    while($portfolio->have_posts()) : $portfolio->the_post();
                                    ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

A: Your code should look like this to exclude duplicate titles

    <?php
    // Initial counter for displayed posts.
    $counter = 1;
    // Initial empty array of displayed titles.
    $titles = [];

    $portfolio = new WP_Query([
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'cat' => '' . $link1 . '',
        // Because we don't know the number of duplicate titles, fetch all.
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
    ]);

    if ( $portfolio->have_posts() ) :

        // Start the loop.
        while ( $portfolio->have_posts() ) : $portfolio->the_post();

            // If the current title has not been displayed already, display it.
            if ( ! in_array( get_the_title(), $titles ) ) {
                ?>

                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank">
                        <?php the_title(); ?>

                <?php
                // Mark current title as displayed by adding it to the titles array.
                $titles[] = get_the_title();
                // Increase counter.
                $counter++;

            }

            // When we have displayed 10 posts the loop should stop.
            if ( $counter == 10 ) {
                break;
            }

        endwhile; endif;
    wp_reset_query(); ?>

I hope this may help!

A: You somehow have to get hold of the post IDs you want to exclude. By calling the plugin's WP_Query again for example and at best let you return only post IDs by 'fields' => 'ids' this time.
Then you can use the result to exclude these posts from your other queries by passing an array of post IDs to 'post__not_in'. So let's assume you created an array of the posts you want to exclude that looks like that $exlcude = [ 123, 456, 789 ] then the query needs to look like this:
$args = array(
    'post_status' =>'publish',
    'post_type' =>'post',
    'cat' => $link1,
    'posts_per_page' => '9',
);

if ( ! empty( $exclude ) ) {
    $args['post__not_in'] = $exclude;
}

new WP_Query($args);

If you are looking for writing websites so you can start earning money online immediately, then there are many writing websites that will pay you upfront for writing your own content for others. These sites are called upfront pay writing sites. These sites are mainly writing job sites and content publishing sites.
However, to get paid for your work, your work must be accepted by these websites. On writing job sites, generally, clients post writing jobs and freelance writers like you pick up those jobs directly from the live job boards on these sites. Content based sites pay you an upfront fee for any article and blog post, depending on the type of sites, you produce for them and they accept it.
Most of these sites, if not all, are commonly known as content mills, and they have a bad reputation for paying low to their writers. But, not all of them pay a little money for your work. In fact, some content mills are a great place to start a freelance writing career, and some sites pay reasonably well.
How Do I Make Money with Upfront Pay Writing Sites?
There is a variety of ways you can get paid for your work by these sites. Some sites will pay you based on word count of your accepted articles. Some sites will pay you a flat fee per accepted article. Freelance writing job sites that pay writers upfront for the accepted assignments pay usually per assignment, but the pay rate varies for each assignment depending on the word count, and writer level or rating (given by either the sites or clients). So in a nutshell, if you have a passion for writing, you can write online for others to make money online faster.
If you want to earn money online faster by writing for others, here are the best upfront pay writing websites that will pay you to write upfront for others.
You can request payout via PayPal, Bank transfer or a prepaid debit card, depending on the payment options of each site. You may need to request payout or the sites may send out payment automatically.
Writing for upfront pay websites can provide you with extra income fast when you need money for paying bills. It can be a source of income too if you put in enough time and effort. You can earn money faster with these sites, working from home writing about things you love or you are knowledgeable about. Upfront pay writing sites are great for freelance writers who want to earn money faster online. If you want to write about things you love or/and are willing to research topics you are not familiar with, you can make money by writing online for others via the best upfront pay writing sites listed above.
Hi…I love your list. I can personally speak for two additional companies that you can add to it. Writerbay.com and Writezillas.com are great companies. I have been writing for them (and still do) since 2012. They have been here for a long time and always pay on time.
I am Thomas Yanc I would like to write and get paid for written work when I get down each and every time so when I write on line I do not want to get paid through there way to either my bank account and get paid good and no nickel or dime pay that won't pay me for things that are boring to write about!!! I love to talk about God/Jesus/, just talk in general, I don't really like to research! If you ask me can or know about something I will write about it!Trust me I am not boring!!! I am on Facebook all the time!!!
Usually English has to be your native language and you would need to present work that is well written with proper English grammar and punctuation. Your comment does not meet those qualifications so maybe the best place to start is to "research" more about writing in proper English first. I'm sorry but the field is extremely competitive so if you want to be included, then you need to upgrade those skills, otherwise other writers who pass those tests will be paid and you won't. That is how competition works in all fields. I don't like it sometimes but that's life. I have to also study the same thing in order to be more competitive if I want to be paid to write as well.

Horror as Hedge Fund Alden, Accused of 'Bloodless Strip-Mining of American Newspapers,' Moves to Buy Tribune Publishing – Andrea Germanos (01/04/2021)
Posted on January 4, 2021 by wsw staff |
Defenders of local newspapers expressed grave concern Thursday after Alden Global Capital—a hedge fund once dubbed "the face of bloodless strip-mining of American newspapers and their communities"—signaled it wants to have full ownership of Tribune Publishing.
"It's hard to imagine how this wouldn't be an apocalypse for local news," tweeted Wired editor Megan Greenwell.
It's not just declining ad dollars and subscriptions hurting newspapers. It's companies like Alden Global Capital who buy newspapers to raid their real estates and slash jobs to enrich themselves https://t.co/3YZ4D4qh6b https://t.co/Dy8XQLtGPA
— Fenit Nirappil (@FenitN) December 31, 2020
News of the $520 million offer was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Chicago-based Tribune owns nine major newspapers including The Baltimore Sun, New York Daily News, and Chicago Tribune. Alden is already Tribune's largest shareholder, currently holding 31.6% of shares having acquired additional stakes in November—much to the outrage of newspaper unions.
Alden has "a media empire of roughly 200 newspapers nationwide," the New York Times noted, and is known, along with other hedge funds, for "wring[ing] profits from newspaper chains through austere management practices" including massive layoffs when taking over media entities.
The Save Maryland Newspapers website, an effort of the NewsGuild-CWA, is less muted in its criticism, describing Alden as "an unscrupulous hedge fund aimed at lining the pockets of a handful of investors at the expense of news, accountability, and the people of our community."

— Hedge Clippers (@GoHedgeClippers) September 11, 2020
According to the Tribune:
Alden… made a nonbinding proposal on Dec. 14 to buy out other shareholders for $14.25 per share, according to a filing Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. […]
Launched in 2007, the hedge fund turned its focus to newspapers during the Great Recession, buying stakes in companies that had declared bankruptcy such as MediaNews, Philadelphia Media Network, and Journal Register.
"In June," CNN further noted, "Alden acquired a third seat on Tribune Publishing's board in exchange for a standstill agreement with the newspaper chain. The agreement prevents Alden from increasing its stake for the company until June 2021."
Alden's bid, the Tribune added, requires approval from the two-thirds of Tribune Publishing's shareholders, and that's something the Chicago Tribune Guild is hoping doesn't come.
"If you're a shareholder and you have any concern for the future of this institution or the common good," the union tweeted, "please don't sell to Alden Global Capital."

The US has warned Israel against "inflammatory actions" after the regime announced plans to continue demolition of Palestinian homes in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
"If either side [Israel or Palestinians] takes significant actions during the proximity talks that we judge would seriously undermine trust, we will respond and hold them accountable," an unnamed US State Department official said Thursday, the BBC reported.
On Wednesday, Israeli Interior Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch told the Israeli Parliament that demolition of the Palestinian homes in East al-Quds would continue.
The development came as Israel and the Palestinian Authority are engaged in direct negotiations, dubbed 'proximity talks', to resume the Middle East peace process.
Israel occupied East al-Quds in 1967 and since then, the area is deemed as occupied territory under international law.
According to the UN, some 60,000 Palestinians will be at the risk of losing their homes if Israel continues demolishing buildings in East al-Quds.


Has anybody heard of Josh Hearlihy? He was a former Utah commit that I've seen linked to UP on a few recruiting sites.
bdaddy wrote: Has anybody heard of Josh Hearlihy? He was a former Utah commit that I've seen linked to UP on a few recruiting sites.
Yes, of course we've heard of him…after he signed a LOI at Utah, he was run off by the coach before he even graduated from high school in California.
According to some, he has now been offered the spot at UP that was vacated when Dorian Cason left school.
I don't know how much he's grown since we last saw him, but he was being listed as a two-star small forward at 6'7/210……he may be bigger now that he's been out of high school for eight months. I believe he sat out the last half of his senior year due to knee problems associated with growing too quickly......but he was a recruit that UP was definitely looking at.
Thanks for the name, mysterious new poster.
From five days ago. Hearlihy is a 6'7" SF...from California but goes to a Massachusetts school? He says in the interview that he's got offers from Drake, Rice, Santa Clara, Old Dominion, Elon, and.....Portland. And "interest" from Maryland, Pitt, and St. Bonaventure.
Go figure...we bringing in three players this year? Speculate away.
To the best of my knowledge, he's had on offer on the table from UP for quite some time now, and is weighing his various options.
At some point, as we get closer to LOI day on April 17, UP will withdraw the offer and go with someone who REALLY wants to go to UP, if young Mr. Hearlihy does not.
ACADEMIC NOTES: Plans to study biology/sports medicine...Member of the Honor Roll in high school.
HIGH SCHOOL: A 2011 graduate of Corona Del Mar High School…Played for Ryan Schacter…McDonalds All-America game nominee…Was rated the No. 18 overall recruit in the state of California and No. 52 shooting guard overall in the nation in ESPN Recruiting Rankings All-CIF Southern Section Division III second team…First-team All-Pacific Coast…BALLISLIFE Regional All-American…Ranked on ESPN recruiting page at No. 157 and No. 52 for position...Named one of top 15 area players by the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce…Three-time Newport Beach Dream team selection…Averaged 15.3 points per game as a senior…Reached playoffs three times…Averaged 13.6 points and 3.9 rebounds as a junior and led his team to a school-best 24-4 record and a CIF Southern Section quarterfinal appearance…Rated one of the Top 20 high school two guards in the western United States….He was an All-Orange County selection and All-CIF selection, as well as All- Pacific Coast League.
PERSONAL: Born Daniel Jerome Cheek April 20, 1993 in Washington, D.C…Son of Carlita and Kevin Ray…Has three brothers, Kevin, Kavon and Dakota…Also considered the University of Portland…Enjoys working on classic cars.
Hardly got off the bench at NAU as a freshman...if he's actually at Citrus he's not playing, as he's not on their roster or listed as having stats. Can't find any info on where he's actually at.
I'm sure Danny is a fine player, but how about this straight A student who's an 11 year-old 5th grader, but plays for his Downey Christian School High School team? He's only 4'5", but he's got until 2020 to grow a few inches.
I'd like to know whatever happened to Jordan Tebbutt….the two-time Oregon 3A POY who graduated from Oak Hill Academy in Virginia last June.
I know he had at least 10 offers from D-1 schools, including UP, WSU, and OSU, and took some official visits….then disappeared!
One JUCO player that UP has looked at, and may have made an offer to, is from Minnesota, but is playing across the state line in North Dakota. Marquel Curtis is a 6'3" small forward who's putting down over 20 a game for Williston State CC.
Marquel didn't qualify academically for D-1 out of high school in 2011 due to a lack of math classes, I believe, but he's apparently really lighting it up in front of recruiters and may now go "big-time," possibly even Kansas.

I've actually seen Williston play both this year and last year and that name isn't registering with me at all...strange. I see he's their leading scorer so maybe hurt/DNP in the games I saw (Williston is only 3 hours south of where I am).
Would be UP's second guard from WSC - can't remember the first guy's name and portlandpilots.com isn't loading up for me. Was from 2004/2005 era. Nice guy.
edit: Walter Thompson is who I was thinking of.
DoubleDipper wrote: I'd like to know whatever happened to Jordan Tebbutt….the two-time Oregon 3A POY who graduated from Oak Hill Academy in Virginia last June.
Enrolled at Kansas. Not playing basketball.
Williston, North Dakota is a long way from California: this fellow Curtis has been listed as a potential recruit for several months--if we are going to California to watch a jc shooting guard, my guess is it is unlikely to be him. Given the amount of time we have been supposedly recruiting this fellow, the number of other schools pursuing him(would he be interested in the U if Kansas is looking at him)and the prior allusions here to the Pilot staff having difficulty finding an academically qualified jc (he did not qualify academically out of hs) I assume that we are not now actively recruiting Curtis. It remains possible but unlikely . . .the rumor mill will heat up soon enough, or so I hope.
C. Unusual to say the least.
A guy with his talent and academics is not unknown the KU staff...I'm sure. I've seen this before where a kid is kind of "stored away" on campus while dad pays the fees, then all of a sudden turns up on the roster after a year or two....older, wiser, and stronger.
It was something Gonzaga used to do regularly under Dan Fitzgerald.

Walter is a terrific person! I've lost track of him now, but after his one year at Cal Poly Pomona he played in Mexico and Latin America. Walter comes from a Mexican heritage and was loving the experience before he suffered a leg or foot injury.
Walter would be a wonderful coach and mentor, in my estimation.
The only thing I have found that can ease the misery of another losing season is scouring the interwebs for names of possible recruits that have very low probability of ever actually stepping foot on the bluff. It's pathetic I know but therapeutic none the less.
Along these lines, what say you guys about Jordan Tebbutt? He is a former hot prospect in Oregon that seems to have disappeared over the last year.
bdaddy wrote: Along these lines, what say you guys about Jordan Tebbutt? He is a former hot prospect in Oregon that seems to have disappeared over the last year.
Haha...dude, look two posts above your own.
Ha! My bad. Good looking out.
According to that, one offer from the WCC (San Francisco).
PilotNut brought up a tweet from a College of Southern Idaho coach in the State of the Program thread...some stats on a few CSI guards in there (James Reid, Jaysean Paige, Montigo Alford).
James Reid Article - This is from the Bend Bulletin but I'm too cheap to pay the 75 cents. Headline is "Former Mountain View star eyes D-I".
Montigo Alford Article - a 5'9" PG that can jump out of the gym with leadership abilities.....but was a HS teammate of Dorian Cason who just transferred outta here. Hmm.
This thread is full of rampant, wild speculation. Happy to add some more!
Another Marquel Curtis update...he's committed to Tulsa. Never sounded like the Pilots were a front-runner anyway.
Relegation is for European soccer teams, not NCAA players...doubt he's coming back up... it'd be an interesting twist if one of his new classmates did though.

Oh, believe me, he's NOT coming back!
Just thought it was interesting that CSI was part of the conversation.
BTW, if anyone is researching JCs, you might want to checkout Santa Rosa JC in Calif---they have a helluva good team!
Spain as in Spain, or Spain as in the Canary Islands are part of Spain?

Appointment: Neocase appoints Didier Moscatelli as CEO and takes a strategic turn
Home > Press releases > Appointment: Neocase appoints Didier Moscatelli as CEO and takes a strategic turn
Paris, June 17, 2019 – Neocase, the expert in the digitalization of human resources-related professions, announces the appointment of Didier Moscatelli as its new Chief Executive Officer. This appointment reflects the company's ambition to support and accelerate its growth by focusing on a strong innovation strategy.
As a true leader in the strategy of digitalization and internationalization, Didier Moscatelli has always worked in the new technologies, consulting or software sector. He brings 32 years of experience in strategy, management and IT consulting, including 23 years as CEO and board member of international companies.
A specialist in business development
After 9 years at Accenture as an Associate Partner, he was later appointed Director of Consulting at Oracle with national and international responsibilities.
In 1998, he created the French subsidiary of an international German group – Plaut – whose main business was to be an SAP integrator. In 2003, he became Group CEO. In 2005, he bought the French subsidiary from the shareholders and sold it the following year to the CGI Group, where he became Vice President Europe for Business Consulting and SAP.
In January 2019 he took over the management of Neocase, an international leader in the SaaS software sector offering digital solutions for Employee Relationship Management, Case Management for Human Resources functions and Employee Document Management.
The ideal profile to guide Neocase in its strategic shift
At a time when digital technology is having a very significant impact on all companies, Didier Moscatelli is taking over Neocase with a very clear objective: to double its turnover in 3 years. The new strategy will be based on 3 main axes:
innovation and integration of disruptive technologies in solutions such as AI and Machine Learning, RPAs and chatbot, based on the strategic partnership with Microsoft,
the establishment of an international network of Services and Technology partners with major international players in the field of HCM (Human Capital Management),
and the development on the mid-market in addition to the company's historical large account market.
Neocase, which currently has 80 active international customers including Air France, AG2R La Mondiale and Axa, is present in Europe and the United States with their 10-year-old subsidiary. Composed of a team of 90 people and managing 5 million users worldwide, the historical HR player aims to establish itself as the reference in its market.
"Neocase has one of the most robust products on the market, and a history that allows it today to be the expert in the digitalization of Human Resources thanks to its 20 years of experience in the industry. This appointment is a springboard to achieve a major turning point and regain the leadership position it deserves." explains Didier Moscatelli, new CEO of Neocase.

A buzz for a text, a ring for a call, a swoosh for an email and a ping for a new post. These are just some of the noises that grab our attention to say someone wants us. Some people are good about putting their devices away in the evening or not jumping at every sound, and others cannot stop.
As a contractor, someone always wants you for a bid, an update or a change. This constant race—mixed with other life challenges—can be draining. If you want to feel less rundown and more accomplished, consider creating a better work-life balance.
There are a lot of perfectionists in construction, and that is understandable when you're the one in charge. Perfect, however, becomes harder to achieve as you take on more responsibilities. One expert says to forget about perfect and think about excellent. Excellence is attainable, but trying to be 100 percent perfect could be damaging both physically and mentally.
After you read this blog, think about your top priority and then decide how you are going to align your life to make sure that priority is filled. Do you have the time to do it? The answer most likely is yes if you avoid a few time-sucking activities (maybe too much social media) and procrastinating. The same goes for starting to say no to needy people who take up too much of your time.
As an extension of this, you can have more time to reach your goals by asking for help. Consider if someone on your staff can take on more responsibilities or is ready for a promotion. This could present a growth opportunity for an employee while freeing up your time. The same rules apply at home—there is no shame in asking for help or hiring someone to help you get projects done.
Your doctors tell you every year—get plenty of sleep, eat right and exercise. You know what stinks about that? They're right! A construction job is physical, but exercise should still play a role in your life. It not only changes your body, but your mind will become clearer and more focused. Go for a walk, lift weights, join a class or group at a local gym, practice yoga or play in a sports league. Do something that gets you moving beyond what you did at a jobsite (and you get the added bonus of taking time for yourself, which is important). For those sitting at a desk, it's even more important to move.
Consider that if you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done. Start with something small you can change today, and build on it every week. After a few weeks, your new life will become filled with habits that stick. Enjoy the journey on the way to balance.


James Tobin began his law enforcement career in 1996 with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office. In 2006 Tobin joined the Prescott Valley Police Department. As a proud alumni of Yavapai College in Prescott. Az., Tobin once again became a "Roughrider" as a member of the Yavapai College Police Department in September 2016.
Tobin has been named as his agency's "Deputy/Officer of the Year" three times (2004, 2008 and 2010) and has been named a Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) Yavapai County "DUI Officer of the Year" four times.
In 2011, Tobin received the "Community Leadership Award" from the Northwest Alcohol Conference (Boise, Idaho).
In 2012 Tobin received the "Mickey Sadoff - President's Award" from the National Office of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) in Washington, D.C. Tobin served as the Chairman of the MATFORCE Underage Drinking Task Force in Yavapai County from 2008 to 2013 and from 2016 to present.
In 2013 MATFORCE received the "National Coalition of the Year" award from CADCA from among 5000 substance abuse coalitions, with special recognition given for underage drinking enforcement and prevention efforts.
Tobin's proudest accomplishment is being a husband to his darling wife Jacinda and a father to his wonderful children.


Having a "helicopter" view on a lighting installation can be very revealing. Most of the time we see our installations from relatively close distance, often also because of limited viewing distances. Building lighting installations designed for public viewing or as a landmark destination are generally designed in 3 steps, for far away as a recognizable landmark or identity, for closer up when approaching and for street view on arrival. Rarely do we see our installation from the top down. Today I went to the Marina Bay Sands Sky Gardens one of the highest points on the Bay to have a look down at our Whirlpool. It looked great, even better than from the ground. From above the actual whirlpool effect comes out really well.
In a metaphoric way viewing things from a different angle can help getting a better perspective on situations. Sometimes we are so engrossed in our work that we can see the big picture anymore. Because we have been involved from the design stages we know what is right and works as planned and what is not. To a person who sees an installation for the first time they see it without "baggage". They have no knowledge of how it should look like and hence take the lighting effects as being intended that way. You may argue about whether you like it or not, but generally the public does not see what we see.
It was therefore good to step out of my design cage and mix with the public to get a feeling of the reactions that people have when they see our installation. Certainly when it concerns "art" to me is a totally new ballgame even though you can argue that an architectural lighting installation is (or can be) as creative and arty as an actual artwork. While I am totally comfortable with peoples appreciation of our architectural designs, I am in unfamiliar territory when it comes to art installations like this. But as I mentioned before in art basically everything goes. Some people like it some don't, that's life. You can not argue about taste and preferences. But is is nice to have positive feedback and my view from the top today gave me a lot of confidence for the future.

When intentionally making comparison in my approach to drawing, and in switching between the physical and digital worlds, the idea of the temporary and the permanent in the process of drawing becomes more assertive. Emphasising the marks that intentionally remain in the process of developing a work or those that have been erased and have now become underlying impressions on a physical surface or, have become untraceable or non-existent in the digital spatial world, becomes a point of exploration and discovery. Where there was once a physical surface and now light and space, the context of the ephemeral in the process of drawing becomes more tangible and its value extended.
In developing the series of works, 'adumbration of a temporary space', the idea of the temporary and the permanent that is found in the process of drawing leaves a degree of uncertainty as to what the resulting work will be. The only certainty is that it remains as an example of the process of drawing as a work in itself.

Sophie Benson
Sophie Benson is an artist who works with drawing and painting. Her practice investigates representations of real and imagined space and the potential of drawing in series. Her interest lies in echoes of events manifest in landscape, which arises out of an interest in landscape itself and its hold on the imagination. One -person shows include; The Space Between, Long & Ryle, London, Vanishing Points, King's Place Gallery, London, From a Distance, University Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Present Perfect, Gallerie Heppacher, Esslingen, Germany.
She has won several awards including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the Prix Collioure, Year of the Artist Award and special project grants from the British Council and the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation. Signs of Life is part of a series of drawings which began as traces of light and shadow, suspended in an imaginary space, the space of the night or deep underwater. The drawing remains provisional, with the appearance of being suspended at a point of change. Marks map and travel across the surface, leaving a smudge, line, and imprint of what has gone before.

Matthew Bamber
My work incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach that includes collage, photography, video, drawing and sculpture, using methods that involve the collection of images from various sources: including personal and public archives and also found-images from internet searches. Selected images are printed and made into assemblages that are photographed and re-worked. Over the last five years, I have been interested in how images operate, thinking about my own consumption of images that depicted violence as a starting point to create a body of work.
I have many influences within my work. I'm inspired by the Baroque: as a way of constructing my images pictorially; as a way to perceive the world; and also as a way of dealing with a multitude of imagery. Through constructing assemblages, I have also developed a passion for the history of still-life and collage. More recently, my work has focused on researching LGBTQIA+ histories, theories and themes. In 2021, my research expanded into looking at queer archives as inspiration for my work. I'm currently interested in researching around historical representations of queer domesticity. Through the archive, I'm also thinking about my history and identity construction. During 2021 I was awarded a develop your creative practice grant from Arts Council England.
Recent exhibitions include Undisclosed Resources curated by Efrem ZelonyMindell, Leeds Summer Show 2021 and Here </> There Exhibition, SIA and Today Art Museum, Beijing. My work was recently included in a Queer Zine Dictionary publication produced by The Feminist Library, London. In 2016, I was Associate Artists at Atlantic Center for the Arts, Florida with Josiah McElheny.

Only Human Oracle
Having developed an interest in Tarot in 2018 after a year of particularly intense "eco-anxiety", learning to read Tarot offered me comfort, deepened my connection with my intuition and gave me a sense of control. On a global scale 2020/21 has been and still continues to be, a particularly challenging and emotional time for us all – from an environmental, world health, political and basic human rights perspective. Tarot can be a tool to help us highlight, analyse and work through the issues that we are facing on both a personal level and collectively.
From 2019 through to 2020, over a 14 month period I created a series of 78 Tarot inspired pencil drawings, which after receiving project funding on Kickstarter in July 2020 went into print production and is now a usable contemporary Tarot deck.
The Monochromatica Tarot consisted of 78 cards featuring hand-drawn card designs inspired by the 1910 Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Each individual card started out as a detailed hyper-realistic A5 pencil drawing on paper, which was then photographed and scaled down to form a card design. Each design depicts my personal interpretation of the imagery and symbolism of the original Rider-Waite cards. Through research and care, my aim was to create artworks that respect and embody the Rider-Waite Tarot symbolism without creating a reproduction or imitation of the original imagery and to attempt to create a deck that was more diverse and inclusive, that could better represent the world we share together.
After creating my own Tarot deck, I was inspired to begin to create my own Oracle deck. Oracle decks are very similar to Tarot decks, as they are also a tool for self-reflection and an aid to spiritual practices. However, Oracle decks aren't as traditionally structured as Tarot decks. There is no predetermined numbered system, card meanings, themes, or imagery and there is no set requirement for the number of cards in a deck. Oracle cards are generally considered to be less ambiguous, with more concise meanings. As part of my Only Human Oracle deck project I am currently working on a series of 38 anatomical pen drawings, which will be photographed, scaled down and digitally layered on top of water colour paintings and washes to create card designs. I chose to study images of human anatomy for this project because I am very interested in further exploring and determining the links between metaphysics, spirituality, divination, human physiology and mental health/wellbeing.

Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson
Since 1994 Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson have been drawn to the articulation of power and authority, to the grammar and rhetoric that surrounds them. Their works often combine densely layered visual and acoustic allusions to faith, politics, national identity and the environment. They are interested in spectacle and its cultural effects and have made work derived from military and biblical sources, from memorials and the uses of public space and from the legacies of the nuclear and coal industries.
They live and work in Manchester and Berlin. Solo exhibitions include Turnpike Gallery, Leigh, 2018; BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, 2017; MEWO, Kunsthalle Memmingen, 2016; Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield, 2015; Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, 2013; Plataforma Revólver, Lisbon, 2012; SALT, Istanbul, 2012.

Mary Griffiths
Mary Griffiths' practice begins with close observation through drawing. Figurative drawings are developed in the studio and are the root of her abstract works, through which their essential geometries are rendered. Her themes are the North, working-class experience, architecture, industry, and science. These are lenses through which she examines memory, illuminating the past and making insightful connections between the material world and the cosmological.
Exhibitions include; Drawing Biennial, Drawing Room, London (2021); Summer/Winter Exhibition, Royal Academy, London (2020); Protest and Remembrance, Cristea Roberts Gallery, London (2018); Wild Honey, The Turnpike, Leigh (2018, solo); Prospect Planes, with physicist Kostya Novoselov, for the Great Exhibition of the North, Newcastle/Gateshead (2018); Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond, Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester and touring internationally (2016-18); From Seathwaite, permanent wall drawing at the National Graphene Institute, Manchester (2015, solo); Still Further, Bureau, Manchester (2014, solo); Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy (2014); Cabedal, Plataforma Revolver, Lisbon (2012); Fathom, Bureau, Manchester (2012, solo); Memory of a Hope, Ceri Hand Gallery, Liverpool (2011).

Paul Haywood
I make stuff and play with material ideas and visual form at Ebor Studios. Located on the Pennine edge in the township of Littleborough, Rochdale, this place is the source for much of the content of what I do in the studio; the colour palettes, shapes, linear structures, compositions, and systems of production.
My studio space is divided into three workstations:
1. a mini laboratory for experiments with pigment preparation and paint and ink making,
2. a worktable for small objects and constructions (what I consider to be 3-dimensional poems),
3. the rest, a loosely organized mess where I paint and draw and think.
I studied, a long time ago, at Rochdale Art College, then at Trent Polytechnic, and finally at Reading University. I trained to be an Art teacher at Goldsmith's College. In my professional life, I'm the Dean of Academic Programmes for Art and Performance at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. I have the privilege of working within and alongside this world-class community of academics and practitioners to contribute to the development of a next generation of creative thinkers, artists and cultural activists. I sit on the Project Group and co-convene the Tools Group for the Shared Campus, an international network for Arts, Design, and Performance Higher Education that is creating intercultural and transnational platforms in support of co-operative learning and borderless education. I co-Chair the National Association for Fine Art Education (NAFAE), the subject specialist Higher Education network for Fine Art in the UK.

The use of stories has always been important in my work. Sometimes I illustrate the story directly in my paintings. For other work, the story will give me a starting point, which then develops into a series of drawings and ideas. From this, other ideas develop and the story starts to become insignificant, creating a new story by the time the painting is complete. The work is very theatrical, and often the canvas is the stage.
The characters in my work are liked and disliked in equal measures. Some people want to cuddle and hug them, while others find them sinister and do not feel comfortable with them. Depending on your view of the character, what is happening in the pictures appears differently. This often makes the subject matter ambiguous. I love the idea that one painting can create completely opposite feelings depending on your opinion of the character. Good/ Bad, Warm/Cold, loving/sinister, Protective/Threatening.
The 'Untold Tales' book series developed from experimenting with mixed media and looking at events, occasions, places visited, stories from books or just playing with imagery and materials. Some are planned and some are spontaneous. I am also a writer and illustrator of children's books – my third book 'The Girl who Really Really Really loves Nature' is out now, published by the Natural History Museum. I am a founder member of Rogue Artists Studios in Manchester City Centre, where I continue to work, and which now houses over 90 artists. I have exhibited widely across the UK and in the USA and have work in Private collections across UK, USA, Germany, Australia, Cyprus.

Lisa Denyer
Lisa Denyer's practice explores the polarities of a slow, considered painting process against the speed and sensory perceptions of daily life. The work relates to the body, the spaces we inhabit, and the visuals we are presented with on a day-to-day basis. Surfaces are developed using collage in an approach that is both spontaneous and contemplative.
Geometric elements are tested in variations using paper cut-outs before a composition is set, often framing gestural marks. The supports are dense and weighty and usually handmade. She uses heavy plywood, clay, panel, sandpaper, or wood as surfaces on which to work. These are selected for their textual qualities and for the way they assist, and disrupt, the application of paint.

Lee Machell
Lee Machellsituates his practice within a vocabulary of commonplace objects that he invests with the status of sculpture. The main concerns of Machell's practice are its object centric sculptural statements, and the orchestration of his works often calls for a topographical understanding of the space they occupy.
Machell's work is process based and material led, and often pays reference to the various accoutrements of the studio. Kodak (2020) is a continuation of Machell's drawings on paper using matches. A Kodak slide carousel is encircled with matches; once lit, a sequence of sparks charts its shape and the smoke captures its impression on paper. In Kodak, Machellplays with the paper's physicality, its state as a combustible material. Paper's molecular structure as primarily carbon allows it to char easily when set alight and the chemicals in the match create tonal nuances, with the smoke enabling unpredictable patterns to evolve.
In previous works on paper, each work's inception is an object that Machelluses to create drawings that synthesize the various elements of his practice. In Cap (2013) Machelldelineatesan oil paint tube's screw cap;as the heat permeates the plastic, it captures the object's minute detail on paper. Past sculptural works continue the reductive approach inherent in Machell'works on paper, such as handle (2012) in which two paint tubs' handles interlock to create a loop. As previously distinct objects -one part is "male" and the other "female" -a simple action serves to unite them as a sculptural entity that rests weightlessly on the floor's surface.

Alongside partner Paul Haywood, she established Guns to Goods; an ongoing project making artworks of value from recycled guns in the interests of peace-making, in collaboration with Greater Manchester Police and community based charity Carisma.
Kara's portrait of peacemaker Erinma Bell MBE, made from recycled guns, was the first-ever portrait of a woman to be unveiled in Manchester Town Hall. This was the first in a series of oversized portrait heads she is continuing to make in celebration of notable women –a project pursued to address the paucity of representations of women in the public sphere. She has completed a portrait of Bishop Libby Lane, the first woman bishop to be appointed in the UK, and is currently working on a representation of Maxine Peake. Her abstract monument 'Clasp' is dedicated to pioneering nurse Mary Seacole and was commissioned for the inauguration of the Mary Seacole building on Salford University Campus, In association with AFL Architects.

Hellen Parrott
My visual art practice has its beginnings in making things as a child, I then moved into photography, particularly of the landscape. I went on to study embroidery. My visual arts practice has widened over the years beyond making exhibition work, to encompass freelance teaching, writing books and articles, research, mentoring and coaching. Photography and the landscape remain important to me. These creative activities have worked alongside and are integrated with my management, development, and leadership roles in the arts and cultural sectors, higher education and public sector.
I am based on the edge of Sheffield, close to the Peak District National Park.
My exhibition work is usually textile based, often drawing on historic techniques, such as traditional nineteenth century handstitched English quilts and eighteenth century calico printing. For over nine years, I focussed solely on using running stitch to make large scale works. My works are often densely handstitched, sometimes in combination with a wide range of other processes including dyeing, machine stitching, painting, and drawing.
Drawing has always been part of my visual arts practice, most often as a way to explore an idea, or solve a problem when realizing my ideas for exhibition work. I rarely share my drawings They remain a private resource to be consulted and developed, an archive of ideas, some realized, some not.

Rocket Man –String of Lights belongs to an ongoing series of drawings. They are inspired by being distracted while watching Netflix films and series by the dazzling light effects of sparkling lights seen out of apartment windows, sheer curtains blowing in a breeze, trees, and shrubs glimpsed out of half open window blinds. I make a line drawing with colour notes in a few seconds flat, as reference. Later, I draw out the ensuing design on graph paper and add gouache paint. In terms of motivation, it's about making the best use of time. I also enjoy the fact that the graph paper encourages abstraction simply because of its pre-existing structured format. I don't think the end result is recognizable, but it's a new piece of work.

Jill Randall
Jill Randall makes sculpture and prints, and has exhibited her work extensively nationally and internationally. Randall's work often reveals the sublime and beautiful, the poetic and resonant in bleak and unpromising places, and often involves making work with and from post-industrial, toxic, or 'spoiled' environments.
Recent work has focussed on artists residencies in industrial settings as the context for new work, and Randall has established innovative ways of interpreting industrial heritage, especially metal-mining, through contemporary arts practice, demonstrating how the visual arts can be a mechanism for cultural regeneration and re-engagement.
She is interested in harnessing post-industrial legacy to create artworks, and has created several interventions in industrial environments, going as an artist into non-art situations, and responding to the place and the people, a process the artist describes as "slow burn", often resulting in collaborative new works with the workforce and industrial processes.
In 2008, Randall won an 'Artists At Work' Award from Artworks Wales to undertake an Artist's Residency at Parys Mountain, Anglesey, an abandoned copper mine. Randall investigated how this remarkable post-industrial site can be utilized to produce artworks from its specific topography and chemistry, and developed a substantial body of new work, culminating in the solo exhibition, "Golden Venture"', at The National Waterfront Museum, (The National Industrial Museum of Wales), in 2011. This work has continued in historic metal-mining sites in Cornwall, Australia and Mexico, and forms part of an ongoing series with metal as the narrative thread throughout.
The drawing presented in the exhibition, 'Found Drawing, Parys Mountain Underground. Bridge,16 fathoms. First attempt ', has been selected from a body of 10 large 'found drawings'. These huge, brightly coloured drawings have been created by the passage of time in pitch blackness in the abandoned underground mine workings at Parys Mountain Copper Mine, Anglesey, by the repeated action of mineral drippings through the mine. Strategically placed, left for 6 weeks, and then retrieved (with difficulty), they have been carried up and down rickety ladders in pitch blackness, retracing the steps and actions of the early miners. The drawing both describes, and is created by, its unique environment.

Richard McVetis
Artist Richard McVetis is preoccupied with the repetitive nature of process. For over a decade, he has used hand embroidery to explore the subtle differences that emerge through ritualistic and habitual making. The inscribed stitches mark the rhythms of the hand, a delicate performance of obsessive intricacy. Meticulously stitched multiples of dots, lines, and crosses record time and map space. Each stitch is an embodiment of thought and patience; a record of human presence, of time and decay. McVetis uses making to understand the world, to give material form to abstract ideas, making the intangible tangible. You are seeing what McVetis describes as "a landscape of time" These physical, tactile, and repetitive modes of creation allow him the time to see and think, to occupy a space.
Richard McVetis graduated in Constructed Textiles from the Royal College of Art in 2008. Since completing his BA in Embroidery at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2005, he has been short-listed for several distinguished prizes, including the Jerwood Drawing Prize, UK, 2011 and 2016; the international Loewe Craft Prize, 2018. In addition, McVetis has shown work nationally and internationally at several exhibitions, including The British Textile Biennial, Rossendale, UK, 2021; RENEW at Kettles Yard, UK, 2019; Loewe Craft Prize, The Design Museum, London, UK, 2018; Collect Open, Saatchi Gallery, UK, 2017; 'Form + Motion' –a major exhibition with British Council and Crafts Council for the Cheongju Craft Biennale, South Korea, 2017

Dorothy Ann Simister
An obsession with drawing horses and a praising primary teacher set me on a determined path to draw and paint. I completed a degree in Fine Art Painting at Camberwell School of Art in the mid to late 70s, which is where I found an interest in shop window reflections. I was mainly brought up in North Wales and attended an exceptional art foundation course at Chester College. I then progressed to the fine art degree at Camberwell, exhibiting at the Royal Academy in the New Contemporaries exhibition. On leaving Camberwell I was awarded the Adrian Tredfall Fund Award, by the 'Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths of London'that enabled me to travel to Italy to look at art. A post graduate teaching certificate at Sussex University gave me a wonderful year in Brighton, where I could study shop window and draw Brighton's iconic views. After teaching for a while, I spent an explorative7months in India and South East Asia, drawing and painting as I travelled. Returning to Britain in the 80s, I helped develop New Moon studios with a group of artists, who exhibited in many venues around South East London. I also showcased work with a group called Artists against Racism. I recorded through drawing and paintings the Miners'strike and Wapping newspaper demonstrations, involving myself in the political upheavals of the time. Through-out this time I taught drawing and painting part-time, worked as a ceramics technician, had two children and continued to draw. In 1995, my husband, children and I moved to Burnley and I retrained as a primary school teacher. I continued to make small drawings and paintings, carefully kept in sketchbooks, while on mountain walking trips in Britain and around Europe.

Claire Tindale
Working primarily with sculpture and installation, Claire Tindale uses the miniature as a conceptual framework, to explore physical and psychological spaces, responding to environments and those who occupy them. A hospital, an empty office building, and a library, are just some of the spaces that she has been commissioned to respond to.
Initially the use of the miniature emerged in response to the conditions of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, with the creation of a 1/12th scale model of a care home. Conveying contraction in relation to mental capacity and physical space
Subsequent projects have combined miniatures, with full-scale elements, to explore themes of responsibility, vulnerability, disorientation and power balance. Filtering Through juxtaposes hand-crafted miniatures with full-scale components to convey the impact of medical treatment on the daily life of someone suffering from poor kidney function.
Exhibitions include: Felt , Salts Mill, Saltaire, Homeness , AIR Gallery, Altrincham, Time after [( )] after Time, The Briggait, Glasgow; Miniature Worlds , Castlefield Gallery, Manchester; BiblioTech , The Portico Library, Manchester and Start from Where You Are: Second Degree Potentias , Bloc Project, Sheffield.
Tindale is a member of Paradise Works, Salford, Manchester. In 2017 she was selected for MDP Studio Book Program and in 2019 she was shortlisted for the GM Arts Prize. She has work in public and private collections including the Tate Special Collection of Artist Books.

A Waitrose recipe and very enjoyable it was too.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Loosely wrap around the rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 25cm, round tart dish. Gently press the pastry into the dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Line with crumpled greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
Put the pastry in the centre of the oven and bake blind for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the paper and baking beans and return to the oven for 5 minutes to dry out. Then remove from the oven. Keep the oven on.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a low heat and fry the onion until soft. Prepare the Swiss chard by ripping the green leaves away from the white stems. Finely slice both and add the stems to the onions. Fry gently until they begin to soften then add the sliced leaves and fry until soft. Season to taste and tip the mixture into the pastry case. Beat together the eggs, egg yolk and crème fraîche, mix in the Gruyère, season to taste and pour into the tart, making sure that it seeps through the chard filling to the base.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden and slightly risen. Serve hot, warm or cold.
Thanks Malcolm, I am going to print this out and try it with asparagus.


Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the spring onions and pancetta over a medium-high heat for a few seconds. Add the rice and cook over a low heat for about 1 min, constantly stirring.
Heat up the stock in the microwave until it is hot but not boiling.
Add the garlic and mushrooms, then pour in about half the hot stock and stir well. Cook over a medium heat for 12-15 mins, stirring often and gradually and adding the remaining stock a little at a time until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Add the white wine and keep stirring for another 7 minutes, making sure all the alcohol is cooked out.
Taste the rice to check that it is tender. It should be creamy but cooked through. If it needs cooking for a bit longer, add a touch more hot water.
Grate over parmesan to taste then stir to melt and absorb in. Season to taste.
Serve with grated parmesan and parsley on top.
The risotto, dubbed the Masterchef 'Death Dish' is a notoriously easy one to stuff up. We put together a fool-proof, easy-as-pie recipe for you to give a go! It's deliciously savoury and hits the spot.

How mothers 'eating for two' can put babies at risk from eating disorders and a low IQ
By Sophie Borland for the Daily Mail
Updated: 06:23 EDT, 27 June 2011
Pregnant women who 'eat for two' could be damaging their babies' IQs, research shows.
They may also put them at risk of developing behavioural problems, eating disorders and mental health conditions such as schizophrenia.
Doctors have long known that obese pregnant women are more likely to suffer blood clots, but the long-term effects of a mother's overeating on her child's health are not well understood.

Now a review of existing research has found evidence that obese women or those who put on excessive amounts of weight when pregnant could be harming their children's development.
Scientists from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, looked at a dozen studies.
Research in the U.S. found that children of obese mothers tended to have IQ scores five points lower than the results of those whose mothers were a normal weight.

Swedish studies showed children were more likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder if their mothers were obese.
And work on Australian teenagers suggested a child's chance of having an eating disorder increased by 11 per cent for each point their mother's body mass index increased during pregnancy.
The researchers, whose findings are published in Obesity Review, believe hormonal and chemical changes may explain the results.

Is procurement stifling natural building materials?
Is the very nature of the way that construction products are bought and sold limiting the wider proliferation of natural and sustainable materials?
While those in the green building sector may be informed about a diverse array of natural and ecological products, many of these have struggled to penetrate the mainstream market, which tends to rely on the same materials over and over again, like concrete and synthetic insulants.
"The uptake of natural insulation products is limited by the current systems of procurement," says Will Kirkman of leading sustainable building materials supplier Ecomerchant.
"There is often a presumption that if an architect or self-builder wants to specify something, that everything is readily available. But how easy is it really for a specifier to get the products and materials they are looking for?"
Kirkman pointed out that mineral wool, polyurethane rigid board and polystyrene foams make up over 95% of the approximately £900 million annual total of UK insulation sales.
"The very ubiquitous nature of just a few insulation products creates the artificial impression that these are the only ones on the market," he said. "The big builder's merchants, for example, usually don't stock natural insulation materials on the shop floor — so they can appear to be invisible."
He likened this representation of choice to going into a supermarket and finding only white bread on the bread aisle — perhaps of various different types and from different manufacturers, but just white bread nonetheless. "If all you ever saw is white bread, that's the bread you would buy," he says.
Kirkman says this is compounded by the fact that building regulations only measure thermal performance, meaning natural materials are often overlooked by specifiers as too expensive because they are compared with plastic insulants on U-value alone.
Cultural mindsets
This point is echoed by passive house architect Jae Cotterell, one of the developers of the PH15 build system from Passivhaus Homes. PH15 is a passive house suitable timber-frame system that uses natural insulants like woodfibre and sheep wool insulation.
"Education is an enormous part of it," Cotterell says. "If you only look at U-value, clearly the woodfibre isn't going to perform as well as Celotex [for the same thickness]."
But there are a host of other factors that often aren't considered when insulation is specified — these include embodied energy, carbon sequestration, decrement delay, breathability and so on.
"The negative perhaps of using a system like PH15 is that you have a thicker wall, but the advantage is you have something that addresses building biology as well as building physics."
Cotterell also believes there is a perception, at least in the mainstream industry, that some of these natural materials carry greater risk, making the industry very slow to move away from the systems and materials they are used to.
One example is the perception that woodfibre insulation might be a fire risk, because wood is typically seen as a fuel. "Wood fibre is actually incredibly robust under fire," Cotterell says. "The timber industry have a big job to do to deal with that cultural mindset."
Clearly, new lines of communication are needed between those specifying building materials and those supplying sustainable alternatives. Kirkman points out that an expert supplier like Ecomerchant, who cover a huge breadth of sustainable building products, is often engaged too late in the procurement process to be able to offer advice on material choice. Typically an architect will have specified a particular product, and the contractor will then approach Ecomerchant looking for it. But if an expert supplier is engaged earlier, Kirkman says, it can offer advice on the best products and systems to use for a particular application.
It points to an issue that Passive House Plus repeatedly hears from those in the sustainable building sector: the need for a much more collaborative approach to procurement in order to deliver high quality, sustainable buildings — as opposed to the traditional approach, which is based purely on price, and which encourages cost-cutting and the worst kind of 'value engineering'.
Indeed, Passive House Plus frequently hears about the need for designers and contractors to work together collaboratively from the early stages of a project — but perhaps there is a strong argument that expert merchants have a role to play in that process, too. Passive House Plus plans to return to the issue of procurement, and to cover it in more depth, in upcoming issues.

Well unless you've been living under a rock, you will no doubt have been hearing about Pilates for a few years now. With celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Megan Markle and Sandra Bullock to name a few and let's face it… we'd be happy with a body like any of these amazing women. But what exactly is Pilates and WHY should you be doing it?
In short, Pilates is a form of low impact exercise to strengthen muscles whilst improving flexibility and postural alignment. Whilst you exercise all muscles, there is most definitely a huge emphasis on 'The Core' – that magic circle around your body encompassing your abdominal area and spine and the area we all crave to be tucked in, flat and rippled… a little like Kate Hudsons, Megan Markle and Sandra Bullocks! You can do Pilates with or without equipment, but either way you can expect the movements to be slow, precise and controlled with an emphasis on breath control. It is not only a great form of physical workout, but mentally Pilates can provide you with time to quiet the mind and alleviate stress. In short Pilates is the way forward!
Whilst you might not be beating yourself to pieces in a high intensity workout crushing jumping squats and deadlifts you are most definitely working out. In fact, if you don't feel the workout then chances are you weren't doing it correctly. Engaging the core and pelvic stability can be a little tricky to get right, especially if it's been years since you used your core. I have so many women say "I haven't got a core" when they come to me, but with a little hands on coaching and some deep exhilations we most definitely find it.
We referred to 'The core' a lot, but that doesn't mean we only work the Abs. Many think the core just means the stomach, but Pilates is so much more. In Pilates you'll exercise many muscles around the entire trunk area. This includes the abdominals, but also the Transerve which runs like a corset around your middle, the finer muscles supporting your spine, the hips, pelvic floor and inner and outer thighs. Plus there will be some work in their for your arms. As you advance one of Joseph Pilates original moves includes a press-up!
The exercises tend to be slower, performer with more control and a smaller range of movement. The types of exercises you will see in a complete beginners class consist of exercises such as Wiper, Heel Slides, Table Top, Hip Circles, Seated Spine Stretch and The Saw. As you advance so do the exercise and Joseph Pilates designed 34 of them, all with modifications and progressions. So Pilates is for everyone.
What are the benefits of Pilates and do I need to do it?
2. Pilates is for everyone at every level – The original 34 exercises designed by Joseph Pilates can be taught to any level. Each exercise has a set of regressions (simplify) and progressions (challenging) to ensure you can start where you are and progress through the levels.
4. Pilates increases flexibility – So many people have tight and weak muscles, especially the hamstrings which can lead to bad posture and resultant pain and injury. Pilates improves flexibility across the whole body.
6. Pilates improves posture – with the combination of developing strength, flexibilty and agility of movement your posture improves greatly allowing you to walk tall and avoid neck, back and shoulder problems.
10. Pilates improves balance – through a stronger core, more flexible muscles and regular control over movement you will maintain better balance in every day life.

Batoul S'Himi, "World's Pressure (Monde sous pression)," 2009, installation: metal, wood, ash and kohl, dimensions variable. Installation at Palais Bahia, Marrakech. Courtesy of the artist and L'appartement 22, Rabat.
Batoul S'Himi (b. 1974, lives and works in Martil) transforms common household objects – a stovetop coffee pot, a pressure cooker – into objects for engaging in struggle. Her artwork questions social conventions, particularly the relationship of women to the domestic interior. S'Himi co-founded the independent art space Espace 150 x 295 cm (Martil) in 2005 with artist Faouzi Laatiris. Her work has been included in exhibitions such as at L'appartement 22 (Rabat) and Musée des Arts Décoratif (Paris) as well as in Dak'Art (Dakar). S'Himi's work is in the public collections of FRAC-PACA (Marseille) and FRAC Corse (Corsica).
Batoul S'Himi
"World's Pressure," 2009
Batoul S'Himi re-imagines both everyday objects and natural materials including kohl and cinder in "World's Pressure." The artist recycles and refashions these objects into tools of resistance engaged in socio-political issues. S'Himi adopts a direct language that ironically appropriates methods employed in official propaganda and populist media. From its origin as an object so familiar to women in Morocco, the pressure-cooker, for example, becomes restructured into a strangely open form.
