AB 15, as amended, Nazarian. Student financial aid: Children's Savings Account Program. California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program.
(1) Existing law establishes the California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program, under the administration of the Scholarshare Investment Board, for the purposes of expanding access to higher education through savings. The program requires the State Department of Public Health to provide the board with identifiable birth data, as specified. The program establishes the California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program Fund in the State Treasury to serve as the initial repository of all moneys received from state and private sources for the program, and continuously appropriates moneys in the fund to the board for the program. Subject to available moneys in the fund, the program requires the board to establish one or more Scholarshare 529 accounts and make a seed deposit of moneys from the fund into a Scholarshare 529 account, as specified, in an amount of at least $25, as determined by the board. The program requires those moneys to be deposited in subaccounts, one designated for each California resident child born on or after January 1, 2020, and who is a California resident at the time of birth, except as specified. Existing law authorizes a parent or legal guardian currently residing in California to apply to the board to enroll in the program a child who is a current California resident under 10 years of age who either was born a California resident prior to July 1, 2020, or was not a California resident at the time of birth. Existing law, subject to sufficient moneys in the fund, authorizes additional incentive payments from the fund, including, among others, incentives targeting low-income households, as defined.
This bill would require the State Department of Public Health, when providing the board with identifiable birth data, to additionally provide a child's parents' mobile telephone number and email address. The bill instead would authorize a parent or legal guardian currently residing in California to apply to the board to enroll in the program a child who is a California resident and who both was born on or after July 1, 2020, and was not a California resident at the time of birth. The bill would require the California Health and Human Services Agency, in consultation with the board, to establish a mechanism to expand the childbirth data report required to be produced by the State Department of Public Health and shared with the board to include information to assist the board in determining which families on the report are to be considered low-income households, as defined, based on specified criteria for the purposes of offering progressive financial incentives as part of the program. The bill makes various technical, conforming changes. By expanding the duties of the board and the purposes of an existing continuous appropriation, the bill would make an appropriation.
(2) Existing law prescribes the duties of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics and local registrars of births and deaths with respect to the registration of certificates of live birth, fetal death, or death, and marriage licenses. Existing law requires the certificate of live birth to contain specified medical and social information, provided that the information is kept confidential, as specified.
This bill would additionally require a certificate of live birth to contain the email address and mobile telephone number of each parent, provided that the information is kept confidential, as specified.
Under existing law, the segments of postsecondary education in this state are the University of California, the California State University, the California Community Colleges, independent institutions of higher education, and private postsecondary educational institutions. The Golden State Scholarshare Trust Act establishes the Golden State Scholarshare Trust, under the administration of the Scholarshare Investment Board.
This bill would establish the Children's Savings Account Program, under the administration of the board, for the purposes of expanding access to higher education through savings. The program would establish the Children's Savings Account Program Fund in the State Treasury to serve as the initial repository of all moneys received from state and private sources for the program, and would continuously appropriate moneys in the fund to the board for the program. Subject to available moneys in the fund, the bill would require the board to establish one or more Scholarshare 529 accounts and make a seed deposit of moneys from the fund into a Scholarshare 529 account established pursuant to the bill's provisions in an amount of at least $25, as determined by the board. Specifically, those moneys would be deposited in subaccounts, one designated for each California resident child born on or after January 1, 2020, who is a California resident at the time of birth, except for children whose parents or legal guardians have opted out, as specified. Subject to sufficient moneys in the fund, the bill would authorize additional incentive payments from the fund, as specified. The bill would require the board to provide awards from these Scholarshare 529 accounts, as specified, for each participating child's higher education expenses at an eligible institution of higher education. The bill would prescribe the powers and duties of the board to administer and implement the program. The bill would authorize the board to consider marketing the program to California residents, as specified. The bill would require the Director of Finance to determine, at the commencement of each fiscal year, whether there are sufficient funds to implement the program in that fiscal year, and to communicate this determination to the board in a timely manner each fiscal year.

World League could 'kill' the game
Sorry there has been an error
R365 EDITOR CONTACT JAN
REACTION: World Rugby's proposed 'League of Nations' competition will kill off interest in the Rugby World Cup, former All Blacks coach Graham Henry warned Friday after a player revolt over the plan.
Henry, who steered New Zealand to World Cup victory in 2011, was dismissive about the blueprint, which will reportedly involve 12 nations playing annually in a competition along the lines of football's UEFA Nations League.
"The players don't want it, they're overplayed now, so it's not going to happen," he told TV3.
Henry predicted rugby's showpiece tournament, which is played once every four years, would not survive if the proposal went ahead.
"It's going to kill the Rugby World Cup because you're going to have a mini-World Cup every year, so people are going to lose interest," he said.
International Rugby Players, the global body representing professional players, has also strongly condemned the plan, with president and reigning World Player of the year Johnny Sexton saying it places commercial interests ahead of player safety.
New Zealand players' association chief executive Rob Nichol said players felt they had been "dismissed and disrespected" by World Rugby as it reportedly contemplates a 12-year deal with a major broadcaster to set up the competition.

Aside from player welfare, Nichol said other key concerns were the lack of a promotion-relegation element in the competition and the way it locked out Pacific island nations and emerging powers such as Georgia.
"We're not going to let a commercial land-grab happen here at the expense of player welfare and the integrity of the international game," he told Radio Sport.
Pacific Rugby Players chief Aayden Clarke was concerned Rugby Union would wither in island nations such as Fiji, Samoa and Tonga if they were excluded.
"It's going to have a huge impact," he told stuff.co.nz.
"We're going to see players withdrawing from Test rugby and signing three-to four-year deals with French or UK clubs," he said.
All Blacks captain Kieran Read is among those who have spoken out against the concept and his employer, New Zealand Rugby, moved to assure players Friday that their voice would be heard.
NZR Chief Steve Tew said no final decisions had been made and expressed frustration the latest version of the planned competition had leaked less than 24 hours after it was finalised.
Tew said there were a number of fundamentals his organisation would insist on – including a pathway for developing countries, including the Pacific, and no additional workload on players.
"There's no simple solution to this, but New Zealand Rugby remains committed to working through the proposals with the right people in the room," he said.
Tew said World Rugby would discuss the plan at meetings later this month.
World Rugby has refused to confirm leaked details of the competition but insists players' concerns are being addressed.
"Now it's out in the open, I think transparency will be good for the process," Nichol said.
"Provided World Rugby take it on board, maybe with a little bit of humbleness, and reach out to the players to get things back on track."

Luong Hue Trinh is a Vietnamese sound artist focused on electroacoustic music. She is currently studying in Hamburg, and Illusions is her most recent release. Consisting of two extended pieces (12 and 11 minutes, respectively) the album explores field recordings, drones, machine sounds, traditional instruments, voices, and amalgams thereof.
The title track begins with a sound resembling falling glass, then consists of a long drone with instrumental accompaniment. This builds into pulsing and grinding industrial sounds, augmented by rattling, drilling, and electroacoustic waves. Bent notes from a traditional stringed instrument take the foreground as the machine noises become more sparse.
Return II is a haunting piece with quiet, background drones and echoing percussion. While this track contains electroacoustic motifs and interludes, toward the halfway point it focuses on recorded vocals of Vietnamese river shanties and Buddhist monks. The latter is combined with dub percussion breaks as the ever-present drones fade to black.
Illusions is a remarkably varied offering for its relatively short length. Trinh evokes sadness, melancholy, beauty, and foreboding with a plethora of instruments, recordings and electronics. Highly recommended, and hopefully one of many more to come.

Award or Reward – What's the Difference?
Home » Award or Reward – What's the Difference?
English is full of tiny nuances in meaning. The words award and reward, for example, might seem to mean exactly the same thing.
If you are a behaviorist, though, the differences between awards and rewards are massive, and failing to recognize these differences can turn a promising intervention strategy into a hopeless failure.
Continue reading to learn more about these confusing words.
What is the Difference Between Award and Reward?
In this post, I will compare reward vs. award. I will use each of these words in example sentences, so you can see them in context.
Then, at the end of the post, I will also show you a useful memory tool that will help you decide whether something is an reward or award.
When to Use Award
What does award mean? Award can be a noun or a verb.
As a noun, award refers to a prize given in recognition of an achievement.
I received an award for my services in the armed forces.
Attendance awards are exciting for children, but they have little intrinsic value in real life.
The fast-growing sector has transfored itself over the past 30 years from national joke to international award winner. –The Wall Street Journal
As a verb, award means to give something in recognition of an achievement.
I hereby award Sotheby with a gold medal for his first place finish in the 100-meter dash.
I will award the winner of the challenge with immunity in the next round of challenges.
Award is a regular verb, and it follows the standard English conjugation rules. Here are a few ways to conjugate this verb:
I/we award: first person singular/plural present
You award: second person singular/plural present
He/she/it awards: third person singular present
They award: third person plural present
Awarding: present participle
Awarded: simple past
An award is something that is given to recognize someone's achievements. For instance, an athlete might receive the MVP award. A passionate teacher might receive a teacher of the year award.
In senses such as these, you would never use reward.
When to Use Reward
What does reward mean? Reward can also be a noun or a verb. In both usage cases, its meaning overlaps with award significantly. A reward is a contingent benefit for an action. For example, an extra five minutes of recess might be a reward for excellent classroom behavior.
The king rewards faithful service with vast riches and a seat at the high table.
The treasure chest is my reward for spending 20 years searching shipwrecks for gold.
As a verb, reward means to give someone something for their actions. Here are a few more examples:
If you bring me flowers, I will reward you with a kiss.
When you reward disruptive actions with attention, you are reinforcing bad behavior.
A reward has less to do with achievement and more to do with an action or exchange. For example, if you see a flyer for a lost cat, it might say there is a reward of $20. In these types of examples, you would never use award.
The board of trustees of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston has doubled the reward to $10 million for the recovery of 13 masterpieces stolen nearly three decades ago in the largest art heist in American history, the museum said Tuesday. –The New York Times
Reward and award have very similar meanings. They both refer to something received as a result of one's actions.
The main difference between these words is that an award is always given by someone: Olympic judges give awards, as do classroom teachers and store managers.
In contrast, a reward may not always be given by someone. In behavior modification frameworks, for example, a reward might be something intrinsic, like relief from hunger or the satisfaction achieved by beating everyone else in a game.
Award vs. Reward Trick: Award and achievement both contain the letter A, and an award is usually something given by one person to another for some sort of achievement. Rewards aren't always given by someone, and they don't necessarily have to do with an achievement.
Is it award or reward? Award and reward can both be nouns and verbs.
An award is given by someone in recognition of an achievement.
A reward is a consequence of an action, and is often given by someone, but it can also be realized independently as well.

Boxing Legend Joe Frazier Dies
Joe Frazier, the man who handed Muhammad Ali his first career loss, died Monday after a brief battle with liver cancer. He was 67.
Photo from: cbsnews.com
Frazier had been under home hospice care after being diagnosed with the cancer just weeks ago. Prior to then, he had been doing regular autograph appearances, including one in Las Vegas back in September.
Smokin' Joe was a ferocious fighter who smothered his opponents with punches, including a devastating left hook he used to end many of his contests early. It was that left hook which dropped Ali in the 15th round at Madison Square Garden to seal a victory in the ''Fight of the Century'' in 1971.
While that bout is celebrated in boxing lore, Ali and Frazier put on an even better show during their third fight, held in a sweltering arena in Manila in 1975. Nearly blinded by the damage inflicted from Ali's punches, Frazier still attempted to go out for the 15th round, but was held back by trainer Eddie Futch.
Ali would later say the experience was the closest thing to death he could possibly imagine.
Frazier won the heavyweight title in 1970 by stopping Jimmy Ellis in the 5th round of their bout at Madison Square Garden. He successfully defended the title four times before an undefeated George Foreman beat him in 1973.
Frazier would never be champion again.

Candidates, campaign, and compliance
By Dakila Elteen M. Napao
First Published in Business World (4/1/2013)
An election campaign period almost always results in a significant increase in media advertisements, as political candidates crowd the airwaves with ads and jingles for that very important name recognition and recall come Election Day.
This significant increase in advertising spending during this election period could also mean a substantial increase in tax revenues. The challenge for tax authorities, then, would be the optimization of tax revenues from media ad placements, given the diverse practices of industry players.
A study by Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has shown that advertisers usually pay directly to the advertising agency or the media supplier for the total cost of the advertisement, inclusive of creative and media services, advertising commissions or service fees and value-added tax (VAT). However, the differences in billing and recording procedures among the various ad practitioners and media suppliers may result in inaccuracies in income reporting by recipients. This, in turn, may affect the computation of taxes due on the transaction.
For the BIR, therefore, simplifying the invoicing and recording procedures in this area is key to tax compliance. Late last year, the BIR issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 63-2012 (perhaps in anticipation of the influx of campaign ads from January to May 2013) to standardize the procedures for invoicing and recording income payments and gross receipts for media advertising placements, and to clarify their tax treatment, viz.
For income payments by advertisers to the media supplier: The media supplier should bill the advertiser for the total amount of the media placement. Upon payment, the advertiser should withhold 2% expanded withholding tax (EWT) on the entire amount paid to the media supplier, and should issue a Certificate of Creditable Income Tax Withheld at Source (BIR Form 2307) in the name of the media supplier. Upon receipt of the payment, the media supplier should issue a VAT official receipt to the advertiser, and should report the entire amount as income for income tax purposes.
On the part of the advertising agency: The ad agency should bill the media supplier for its commission or service fee. Upon payment, the media supplier should withhold 2% from the commission or service fee of the ad agency, and should likewise issue BIR Form 2307 in the name of the ad agency. The agency should then issue its VAT official receipt to the media supplier for the amount received.
On December 28, 2012, the BIR subsequently issued RMC No. 91-2012 to cover invoicing and recording of income payments for media advertising placements under a "split payment" scheme, where the advertiser engages or contracts directly with a media supplier and an ad agency. In such a case, income payments directly made by the advertiser to the media supplier and to the ad agency are limited to the cost of the services provided by each entity.
The 2% EWT cited in RMC 63-2012 and 91-2012 for payments to the media supplier and to the ad agencies follows the provisions of Revenue Regulations 2-98, as amended, which imposes the 2% EWT on income payments to (i) advertising agencies, exclusive of gross payments to media, (ii) TV and radio station operators on sale of TV and radio airtime, and (iii) TV and radio blocktimers on sale of TV and radio airtime.
However, political candidates, political parties and political campaign contributors should not lose sight of Rev Regs 8-2009, dated October 22, 2009, which imposed a 5% EWT on "income payments made by political parties and candidates of local and national elections of all their campaign expenditures, and income payments made by individuals or juridical persons for their purchases of goods and services intended to be given as campaign contribution to political parties and candidates."
Thus, clients/advertisers must now contend with the 2% and 5% EWT rates.
RMC 63-2009 dated November 12, 2009 clarifies that the 5% EWT rate under Rev Regs 8-2009 will apply in the withholding of tax on campaign expenditures. Thus, it appears that clients/advertisers should use the 2% EWT rate on regular, non-election or non-campaign related media advertisements, on the one hand, and the 5% EWT rate on election or campaign related advertisements, on the other hand. Commission on Elections Resolution 9615 defines a "political advertisement" or "election propaganda" as "any matter broadcasted, published, printed, displayed or exhibited, in any medium, which contain the name, image, logo, brand, insignia, color motif, initials, and other symbol or graphic representation that is capable of being associated with a candidate or party, and is intended to draw the attention of the public or a segment thereof to promote or oppose, directly or indirectly, the election of the said candidate or candidates to a public office." In broadcast media, political ads may take the form of appearances on TV shows and radio programs, live or taped announcements, teasers, and other forms of messaging or announcements used by commercial advertisers.
The 5% tax withheld on election or campaign-related political advertisements should be remitted by filing the Monthly Remittance Return of Creditable Income Taxes Withheld (BIR Form 1601-E) in triplicate copies with the Revenue District Office (RDO) where the candidate, political party or contributor is required to register and file the return. The failure to withhold EWT can result in deficiency EWT assessment plus increments on the part of candidates, political parties or their contributors and supporters.
In addition, RMC 15-2013, dated February 12, 2013, was recently issued to remind candidates and political parties, including party list groups, of their duties as withholding agents under Rev Regs 8-09, expressly mandating that they obtain Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) and register as withholding agents in the RDO having jurisdiction over their Head Office or principal office. RMC 15-2013 further echoed Rule 7 of COMELEC Resolution No. 9476 requiring the preservation of their records of contributions and expenditures, together with all pertinent documents, for at least three (3) years after the election for audit purposes by the BIR. This audit will most certainly focus on compliance by the political candidates and parties of their withholding tax obligation imposed by Rev Regs 8-09.
Given the Government's drive to improve tax compliance, political candidates should consider promoting and publicizing their own tax compliance as part of a winning campaign strategy. After all, candidates and political parties running for public office are duty bound to help Government generate much needed revenues for public service spending.

I live in Mary's neighborhood and I commend her for her desire to beautify our neighborhood.
Oh, for Pete's sake, will city officials stop pestering Mary Farrell and her flowers in the city strip between the sidewalk and the curb [Why a 'little white-haired lady' is fighting Des Moines City Hall to save her flowers]?
In St. Paul, Minn., citizens are encouraged to plant flowers, wild grasses and vegetables in the city strip to prevent water runoff into the streets. Most of the vegetation is taller than 12 inches. I live in Mary's neighborhood and I commend her for her desire to beautify our neighborhood.
On Kingman Blvd., you will see flower plots and strips of all kinds of flowers — some as high as four feet. This is what makes neighborhoods welcoming and inviting for people to live there.
So, go plant flowers in your city strip. Mother Nature will thank you.

Nikolai Johannes Astrup (1880–1928)
Jølster during Astrup's lifetime
ASTRUPTUNET – THE ARTIST HOME
Letters and notes
ASTRUP IS BORN IN KALVÅG, BREMANGER
Born 30 August in Kalvåg in the Bremanger Municipality, Sogn og Fjordane county, western Norway, the eldest son of the Lutheran pastor Christian Astrup (1844 - 1920) and his wife Petra Constanse (née Lodtz; 1860 - 1930).
THE FAMILY MOVES TO ÅLHUS IN JØLSTER
The Astrup family moves to Ålhus on the northern side of Jølstravatnet, Sogn og Fjordane county, on his father's appointment as pastor. The parsonage is in a poor state of repair.

ASTRUP SUFFERS FROM RESPIRATORY ILLNESS
From an early age Astrup suffers from weak lungs and severe bouts of asthma. His drawings and sketches are collected in Scrapbooks. Childhood memory is from the beginning a bedrock of Astrup's art.

RETURNS TO THE FAMILY IN ÅLHUS
Following poor results in his Latin exam he returns to the family home in Ålhus, where he tutors his younger siblings and makes designs for wall hangings woven by his mother. His determination to become a professional artist puts him in conflict with his father.
STUDIES ART IN KRISTIANIA
Astrup is finally granted permission to study art in Kristiania (Oslo). He arrives in the autumn and briefly attends the Royal School of Drawing (Kongelige tegneskole) before entering Harriet Backer's (1845 - 1932) private art school (founded 1890). He studies from the life model, works in oil and makes his first etchings.
Olaves is one of Astrup's first oil paintings. Olaves, ca. 1900, oil on canvas, 31 x 28 cm. The Savings Bank Foundation DNB / KODE Art Museums of Bergen
VISITS MUSEUMS IN GERMANY
Astrup receives a grant from Olaf Schou (1861 - 1925) enabling him to travel to Germany in November. He visits the major museums in Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden and Munich, especially admiring the work of the Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901). He arrives in Paris just before Christmas.
Astrup on Böcklin
It seems to me at the moment that there is no artist I understand as well as him, but maybe Arnold Böcklin is also easy for everyone to understand ... what is most exciting about his pictures is their unexpectedness, a moment that sends a shiver down one's spine, and yet one can enjoy the sight of them for a long time afterwards.
STUDIES ART IN PARIS
Astrup enters the Académie Colarossi, an independent art school in Paris; he trains with the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg (1852 - 1925). He visits museums and temporary exhibitions; at the Salon des indépendants he is impressed by the works of Maurice Denis (1870 - 1943) and Henri "le Douanier" Rousseau (1844 - 1910). He also encounters Japanese ukiyo-e woodcuts and develops his interest in photography; he buys a camera and visits a professional photographer to have his portrait taken. His experience in Paris persuades him of the exceptional nature of his native western Norwegian landscape. In May he determines to return to Jølster to pursue his artistic vocation there, arriving in time for Constitution Day (17 May).

Astrup on Rousseau
[Henri Rousseau] did not care a damn for all the 'fripperies' that neo-impressionism mainly consisted of in his day and created something really new in art: 'abstraction'. He thus became the 'father' of each and every 'ism'.
MAKES HIS FIRST WOODCUTS
Makes his first woodcuts, including Small Self-Portrait.

A NEW PARSONAGE IS COMPLETED IN ÅLHUS
FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION
In April Astrup has his first solo exhibition at Blomqvist's Auction House and Gallery (Blomqvist's Kunsthandel), Kristiania, to critical acclaim; he sells many works. The painter Eilif Peterssen (1852 - 1928) is instrumental in acquiring Storehouse in Jølster for the National Gallery in Kristiania. 26 October, Norway gains its independence from Sweden.

ASTRUP TRAVELS TO LONDON
Supported by a Henrichsen bursary, Astrup travels to London in late January, staying until early May; he visits the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate Gallery.
Astrup on Constable
I was in London. I wanted to go and see Constable, who painted ... a similar nature to that of western Norway. I think he is the first landscape painter who understood landscape in colours. After all, Millet and even Professor [J.C.] Dahl were strongly influenced by him. Astrup, 1911
SECOND SOLO EXHIBITION
In May his second solo exhibition is held at the Bergen Art Association (Kunstforeningen i Bergen); it is well received and Astrup sells works to collectors, including Rasmus Meyer (1885 - 1916).
Spring Night in the Garden, 1903, oil on canvas, 72,5 x 98 cm. Exh.: 1908 Bergen; 1911 Kristiania; 1915 Copenhagen; 1928 Bergen; 1928 Oslo. Private collection
THIRD SOLO EXHIBITION
January to February, Astrup's third solo exhibition at the Artists' Association (Kunstnerforbundet), Kristiania.
STUDIES ART IN BERLIN
Although there are good reviews of his last exhibition, Astrup feels the need for renewed stimulus. Supported by a Houen travelling scholarship, he goes to Berlin, briefly entering a private art school and visiting galleries and temporary exhibitions, especially the XXII Berlin Secession, where he is impressed by the paintings of Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) and the proto-expressionists Max Slevogt (1868 - 1932) and Lovis Corinth (1858 - 1925).

EXHIBITION IN HELSINKI
February to March, he is included in an exhibition of Norwegian art at the Ateneum, Helsinki.
THE FAMILY MOVES TO MYKLEBUST
Astrup's first child, a daughter, Kari, is born. He and Engel decide to move to Myklebust on the south side of Jølstravatnet.
MOVES TO SANDALSTRAND (ASTRUPTUNET)
Problems arise with the landlord of their house in Myklebust, forcing Astrup to move three kilometres along the lake to Sandalstrand (Astruptunet), to a smallholding that he had acquired in 1912. He begins the ambitious project of constructing accommodation, a garden and a subsistence farm. He continues to work in the studio at Myklebust.
EXHIBITION OF NORWEGIAN ART IN VIENNA
January to February, his work is shown in an exhibition of Norwegian art at the Hagenbund, an exhibiting body set up, like the Vienna Secession, by a body of artists in opposition to the Academy, remained somewhat overshadowed by the more renowned Secession.
ASTRUP FURTHER DEVELOPS THE PROPERTY OF SANDALSTRAND
ASTRUP IS INCLUDED IN THE JUBILEE EXHIBITION IN KRISTIANIA
His paintings is included in the Jubilæumsutstillingen (Jubilee Exhibition) in Kristiania, marking the centenary of the Norwegian constitution (and independence from Denmark).
ASTRUP DEVOTES HIMSELF MORE EMPHATICALLY TO THE MAKING OF HIS WOODCUTS
ASTRUP NAMES HIS FIRST SON ARNOLD BÖCKLIN
Astrup's first son is born; he is named after the Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin.
ASTRUP'S WORK SHOWN IN GOTHENBORG, COPENHAGEN AND SAN FRANCISCO
His work is included in exhibitions in Gothenborg and Copenhagen, and in the Norwegian section of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco.
Marsh Marigold Night, ca. 1915, colour woodcut on paper
VISITS STOCKHOLM AND COPENHAGEN
In the autumn Astrup travels with the Bergen artists Moritz Kaland (1869 - 1947) and Nils Krantz (1886 - 1954) to Stockholm and Copenhagen to study modern French, Danish and Swedish art.
SANDALSTRAND IS TRANSFORMED
At Sandalstrand he radically transforms the original dwelling on the site into accommodation for his growing family and a studio; progress is delayed due to financial difficulties.
ASTRUP SUBSCRIBES TO THE AVANT-GARDE PERIODICAL KLINGEN (THE BLADE)
He subscribes to the Danish avant-garde periodical Klingen. The publication keeps him abreast of international developments in contemporary art and encourages him to view his woodcuts as works of art in their own right.
FIRST EXHIBITION OF WOODCUTS
In May Astrup holds his first exhibition of woodcuts at the Artists' Association, Kristiania, selling primarily to close friends and acquaintances.

HAS TO POSTPONE TRAVEL ABROAD DUE TO POOR HEALTH AND PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Astrup receives a travel grant from the Conrad Mohr Foundation but has to postpone travel abroad due to poor health and personal circumstances. Greatly discouraged, he considers emigrating to the United States.
ASTRUP CONSIDERS STUDYING WITH KANDINSKY
Having received from his great friend the writer Hans E. Kinck (1865 - 1926) a copy of Wassily Kandinsky's (1866 - 1944) Über das Geistige in der Kunst (Concerning the Spiritual in Art), first published in German in 1911, Astrup considers travelling to Munich to meet and study with the Russian abstract artist and his circle.
Astrup on Kandinsky
I would like to study the abstract painters a little more closely - Kandinsky and the other Russians;- basically they interest me more than the French - Picasso and Matisse, - although I would really like to have a French painter such as Le Fauconnier as a teacher ... he is rather more than cubist and expressionist - but as I speak virtually no French, I will probably gain more benefit from studying in Munich under one of the German-Russian painters of the same school. (Astrup to Isabella Høst, 1919)
EXHIBITION OF WOODCUTS
In February Astrup exhibits prints with the Bergen Art Association.
ASTRUP ENJOYS THE DEVELOPMENTS AT SANDALSTRAND
He becomes increasingly positive about both his art and the developments at Sandalstrand, and begins to make paintings based upon the landscaping of his property.
Astrup on Sandalstrand
Tonight I planted a big apple tree above the new turf terrace and I sat for a long time in the dusk contemplating 'the work of my hands', and I felt I was gradually beginning to grow fond of the place (Astrup to Per Kramer, 1920)
