Chilli Bag is a project that I finished last year, but as usual life got in a way and it was sitting patiently waiting to be published.
I designed this little bag to hold yarn, current WIPs and other bits and pieces like sewing fabric.
The bag is available as a free pattern on Ravelry here - I hope you like it!
Perfect size! I think that will have to be one of the many that I add to my queue!
Life does get in the way, doesn't it? Cute bag!
Nice bag, thanks for sharing the pattern!
That bag is great! I love it.
I am loving your chili bag - the colour combo is great too!
Love your bag. And thanks for the pattern, one for latter!

Get Strong
Why You Shouldn't Take Health Advice From the News
Last week, a shot of a television screen kept popping up in my Instagram feed. The tv screen showed a list of exercises that people over 50 should avoid, all of which were strength training staples such as push-ups and squats. The background was the royal blue of local news shows.[1] The shot was posted by a number of my peers, who, of course, disputed the misinformation. (If modified to accommodate any restrictions, all of the exercises would be incredibly helpful to an aging client.) The tone of these posts ranged from annoyance to outrage, but the newscast didn't surprise me at all. People have taken in by health misinformation since the days of snake-oil salesmen and beyond. The only way we can combat it is by examining why we're so easily misled, why the news might not be the best source for health information, and, finally, which wells are safe to drink from.
My mother, on the phone the other night, exclaimed that an article in the Houston Chronicle said it was "again" okay to eat red meat. "They're always changing their minds." By "they," she presumably meant scientists. I tried to explain to her that what the news shows is hardly consensus, and that, even within the scientific community, consensus is like so much shifting sand. Perhaps it is the use of the word discovery that allows us to persist in our hope that at last we have found some firm fact upon which to rest. After all, in archeology, a discovery is definitive. Theories on the ancient culture that built King Tutankhamen's Tomb, for instance, may be provisional, but the presence of the tomb itself is indisputable. It can be touched. It has been discovered in the most fundamental sense of the word, meaning uncovered. And here is the crux. Evidence is discovered, whereas a theory is created and scaffolded upon it. The theory is necessary if we are to derive any use from the evidence, for from theory application is extrapolated.
Not many of us are particularly interested in the science of health itself. If we bothered to link back to the scientific articles themselves, we would find a lot of hedging language. Peer-reviewed journal articles postulate, and most seem to end with a note that "more research is required." But this is not helpful to us. We want to know what to doto perform and feel better, to live longer. We would rather not burn up energy sifting through the evidence itself, parsing causation and correlation. The fact of the matter is that we'd rather have a half-baked conclusion that is actionable. So that is what the news gives us. Conjecture is distorted into certainty, into dos and don'ts in bulleted lists. Save the bare evidence for the nerds.
Even in highly respected news sources, ones that wouldn't deign to give you a bulleted list, still must run the interpretation of a journalist who presumably has limited knowledge and limited space in which to present that knowledge. For instance, an article was published in the New York Times last week proclaiming that, based on the results of a new study, muscle growth is dose-dependent, but strength is not, and that the same strength gains can be made by training for 13 minutes three times a week as by training seventy minutes three times a week. The study was valid for its population, and was conducted by some big names in the field. Within the confines of an eight-week study, the conclusion drawn is supported by what we already know: strength is primarily a neurological adaptation, and doesn't require the same volume as a tissue adaptation (muscle growth). However, what the writer either didn't consider or didn't have the word allowance to mention is what happens after the eight-week study. What happens is you hit a plateau. There is a ceiling to how much force a certain amount of muscle can produce. Eventually, you need more contractile tissue to produce more contractile force. The best training programs recognize this by either alternating the focus of training or training both adaptations concurrently.
So if you can't trust the news, who can you trust? I wish the answer were as simple as "your doctor," or "your acupuncturist," or "your trainer," but the truth is that just because someone has a title in front of their name does not mean that they think deeply, critically, and flexibly about what they do. They are, weare, after all, humans just like you and we too like certainty. We like foregone conclusions and the feeling of having everything figured out. We can be just as bad as the news. Taking this into account, I'll leave you with this: seek the advice of experts, but seek those who have an ongoing pursuit of knowledge. Seek those who can say that they don't know, those who acknowledge that their treatment or training model is just that, a model. It's something that works, for now, and that is subject to change. Seek those who acknowledge toothat their model is not the only one that works. These are the people who will truly be able to listen. The rest will be deafened by their own bias and dogma.
[1]The list was attributed to the Carolina Orthopedic and Neurologic Associates, but let's not forget that the newscast has stripped it of any context. Besides which, doctors are sadly sometimes more interested in reducing short-term risk, and therefore legal culpability, than in enhancing long-term outcomes, but that's an article for another week.

Nursing mother, 15, reveals how her brother started having sex with her
Posted on July 19, 2019 Author Akeem Rotimi	Comment(0)
A 15-year-old nursing mother identified as Blessing, has revealed how her 35-year-old elder brother, Frederick, started having sex with her when she was 13, leading to her becoming a mother at 15.
Blessing's defilement was discovered after she delivered a baby girl at Stella Obasanjo Hospital, in Benin city, Edo State.
Sources said that his brother, Frederick was almost lynched after he collected the baby from his sister at the hospital and attempted to dump it in a refuse dump, claiming that the baby was dead. He was attacked by an angry mob after it was found that the baby was alive and kicking.
Blessing said: "My brother has been sleeping with me since I was 13 years old. Sometimes last year, he sent his wife out of their matrimonial home for about eight months. He sent her out, so that he could have his way with me daily. I had no one to cry to because he is my eldest brother. We lost our mum when I was 10 years old; this made me stay with my brother. He promised to marry me despite all odds. He told me that I should not terminate the pregnancy. He said that once I was delivered of the baby, he would get someone to take the baby and we would become rich."

Blessing disclosed that the plan would have worked out, but Frederick started acting in a suspicious manner at the hospital, right after the delivery.
She said: "My brother's movement became suspicious at the hospital after I gave birth. The hospital management had to move me from the women's ward to a safe place where I was with my baby."
Frederick told EDOCSO, which took him to police station, that he returned home one day and realised that his sister looked like his wife. He said that he decided to do what husband and wife used to with her. He insisted that he couldn't recall whatever happened after then.

Beatles, Music of the 60s, Today in history
John Lennon Opines Jesus
July 29, 2016 Woodstock Whisperer	Leave a comment
http://woodstockwhisperer.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/The-Beatles-Popular-than-Jesus.mp3
August 1966 interview about his March opinion
By 1966, the whole world seemingly knew who Beatles were and that most of the world liked their music and them, too. That is only a somewhat accurate statement. Of course there were many who did not like the Beatles's music nor the Beatles themselves. Critics made wise cracks about them needing a haircut, looking like girls, their looks in general.
Rock and Roll was just a teenager and there were plenty of people who were suspicious of the music and anyone associated with it. The Red Scare and McCarthyism of the 1950s still echoed in the early 60s, the Soviet Union was still our arch nemesis, and the re-invigorated civil rights movement threatened the status quo, however unjust that status quo was.
Parents warned their teenagers, "If you go looking for trouble, you'll find it." Teenagers knew, "If you want to find a reason to dislike my music, you'll find a reason."
Maureen Cleave
Journalists knew that a Beatle interview was money in the bank. Maureen Cleave, of the London Evening Standard, ran a series of interviews called "How does a Beatle Live?"
On March 4, 1966, Maureen Cleave interviewed John Lennon for the series.
During the interview, Lennon, who had been reading about various religions said, "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and I'll be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
The article appeared and that was that. No outrage by the British.
US reaction
Tony Barrow was the Beatles press officer. He offered the rights to all four interviews to US teen magazine, Datebook.
On July 29, 1966 the article appeared with a headline featuring the Lennon Christianity quote, which was only a small part of the entire interview.
It became national news on August 4. A NY Times article lead sentence read: "Dozens of radio stations throughout the United States are banning music by the Beatles because of a statement by one of the rock 'n' roll singers that his group is more popular than Jesus."
The article's last sentence read: "Several radio stations scheduled bonfires for the burning of Beatle records and pictures."
Some support
The US negative reaction was not universal. A Kentucky radio station declared that it would give the Beatles' music airplay to show its "contempt for hypocrisy personified", and the Jesuit magazine America wrote: "Lennon was simply stating what many a Christian educator would readily admit."
The Beatles toured that summer, but it was their last. While the Christianity comment alone did not cause that cessation, it was a part of it.
And in 2008, the Vatican issued the following statement: "The remark by John Lennon, which triggered deep indignation, mainly in the United States, after many years sounds only like a 'boast' by a young working-class Englishman faced with unexpected success, after growing up in the legend of Elvis and rock and roll. The fact remains that 38 years after breaking up, the songs of the Lennon-McCartney brand have shown an extraordinary resistance to the passage of time, becoming a source of inspiration for more than one generation of pop musicians."

Daniele Manoli was featured on EK last February for his animated alphabet project, which consists of short videos for each of the 26 letters. Though born in Sweden, Manoli now resides and works in Hong Kong. We thank him for taking the time to respond to our questions. Check out what he had to say!
His images are grotesque and unconventional, yet still appealing to the eye. He was featured on EK last December and now he's back again. Check out our interview with Asger Carlsen.
Andreas Englund was featured on EK back in the fall of 2011 and as a Top 100 Artist. Englund is a guy with a good sense of humor and positive attitude, so it was an honest pleasure for Empty Kingdom to revisit him, this time for an intimate interview.
Fredrik Rättzén was featured on Empty Kingdom just last week. A friendly, hard working, down-to-earth guy, his responses were interesting to read and some were completely relatable. And he's a fan of Lykke Li, another plus.


I won't go on about my love for plantain – frankly, if you've known me for longer than 5 seconds you'll probably have seen/heard about our ongoing love affair – but I thought this would be a useful post for those who share a similar passion. Or anyone looking to try new plantain recipes. Or anyone generally. So without further ado, let's give it up for my top 10 mouth-watering plantain recipes. Read through and let me know how many of these recipes you have tried.
Gizdodo, stewed chicken gizzards mixed with diced fried plantain, is an all-time Nigerian party favorite. I know people who will show up to events solely because they've heard there's going to be gizdodo served. Now, I'm not saying I am one of those people… but let's be real, I am. Funny enough, I wasn't a huge fan of gizdo, as it's fondly nicknamed, when I first tried it. But now, you don't even have to finish saying 'giz-' before I show up.
I have a love-hate relationship with plantain chips and I haven't yet found a company that sells the perfect ones. In the past I would find really tasty ones to buy from street hawkers in Lagos, but over time the taste, quality, and quantity declined. My ideal plantain chips are ripe [oh how I detest those yellow, unripe ones], salty and slightly spicy. Served it with a glass of chilled zobo? Best.
I'm pretty sure this recipe came about one day when I was bored with the usual fried plantain, but it changed my plantain game. I remember making these 2, thinking one for me one for bae. Guys, I ate both with no regrets and I would do it again if I could. Stuffed plantain boats are really simple to make and can be stuffed with your favorite anything! Meats, veggies, cheeses, you name it.
The versatility of plantain amazes me, but then again I shouldn't have been surprised – it's plantain after all. I'm not much of a baker, just see my failed cinnamon rolls recipe, but this one was a baking success. I like the fact that it's not too sweet so it can be paired with either sweet or spicy condiments.
For all certified members of Team Fit Fam, this one is for us you. It takes out the guilt from plantain, but is still savory and filling enough to leave you satisfied. If you're a meat-eater like me, try adding some shrimp or asun (goat meat) to the spinach mix. You'll thank me later.
For someone who didn't like eba growing up, I should have known that plantain would change the way I felt about it. Because plantain can make two people go from arch enemies to best friends. That's what happened when I discovered the combination of mashed ripe plantains and eba – Eghwobobo. It took the sour edge off the eba, but didn't taste overly sweet – it's a perfect blend in my humble opinion. But my opinion is right.
Plantain spring rolls is a Filipino recipe known as Turon, typically made with ripe plantains, jackfruit and sugar. But as I do with a lot of recipes, I took away a couple of things and added my own, making a spicy plantain spring roll instead. I won't claim it's better than the original. But I'll definitely think it.
Do you want the taste of fried plantain minus the guilt that usually follows? Welcome to the world of grilled plantain. Over the past year and a half, I can count the number of times I've fried plantain on one hand. That's because once I discovered the joys of grilling, I never looked back.
This one is an interesting recipe, and probably came at a time when I became obsessed with Mexican food. You know me, if a recipe is already good I'm 100% sure I can make it better by adding plantain. So I did; it was better. Trust me, I'm Nigerian.
It may not be the fanciest of them all but it's a national treasure. Dodo is plantain that's lightly salted and deep fried to golden perfection. I don't know if it's just me but when you walk into a room and there's the faintest smell of fried plantain, the mood automatically changes. People look better, become friendlier, smile more. All because they know what is about to come. Although on the other hand, I pray you don't walk into the room when the fried plantain has finished. Did someone say World War III?

Bernard Dayo in The Film Blog
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde wants you to know that most of the movies she nominated made the Oscars' nominees list
As the announcement of the 91st Oscars nominations still reverberates through the film world and on social media, with movies like Black Panther dominating headlines for being the first superhero movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is pleased that the movies she nominated as a member of the Academy's voting body made it to the eventual nominees list.
That said, the actress wasn't excited that no African movie made the final Oscars list. The category for Best Foreign Language Film would have been a perfect opportunity to have an African movie take a spot. Unfortunately, Wanuri Kahiu's Rafiki was snubbed. This year's contenders include Shoplifters, Cold War, Never Look Away, Capernaum and the Netflix movie Roma which leads with ten nominations. With the decision of the Academy to make its voting body more diverse and inclusive, and with streaming giant Netflix ordering and producing African content this year, African movies can have another shot at the Oscars.

Such as wild life artist Carl Brenders, we showcase outstanding work of a specialised nature.
The quality and artistic value here is such that the originals are rarely available for private purchase, and mainly reside in museums and public collections. However, we're uniquely able to offer small numbers of rare canvas reproductions such as are virtually indistinguishable from the originals!
These pictures vary in size and subject matter. Canvases, when presented in a manner suited to the original museum piece, look simply stunning! Others are mounted, framed and glazed in styles befitting their nature. These works reach beyond the commercial art frequently encountered in High Street galleries and are pieces suitable for discerning collectors – albeit at prices that are distinctly affordable to all! So, if you're looking for something that leaps out from the crowd, simply call in to view a selection which is not to be found elsewhere!
We have many subjects both traditional and contemporary. An assortment of examples reporesenting vairous artisits and their work, together with their UK prices, can be found in our 'Gallery' section on this website.


I came across this recipe for Hearty Vegetable Soup while looking for easy and healthy dinner options last week. Since I had most of the ingredients on hand, I decided to prepare the soup last week even though I already had the meals for the week planned out. What can I say? I'm easily swayed by easy soup recipes! Especially, crock pot recipes!
As usual, I made a few changes. I wasn't sure how I'd like allspice in the soup, so I left that out. An easy decision, since I didn't have any in the spice rack!
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or until carrots and potatoes are tender.
The original recipe stated the cooking time to be 8 hours on low. My crock pot usually cooks faster, but this time it took the full 8 hours. Probably because I added my vegetables while they were still frozen. Using thawed vegetables or cooking on a higher temperature would probably speed up the cooking time a bit.
This made 6 hearty bowls of soup. You could probably stretch the recipe further, making it a thinner soup by adding more broth. Small pasta and/or shredded chicken or even ground beef would be a good addition as well.
How easy is that?! I love when it doesn't matter what order you add the ingredients to the crock pot! I really enjoyed this soup. It reminded me of a minestrone soup but without the pasta. I'm sure this recipe will be appearing in more than a few of our menu plans during the fall and winter months!

Interview With Poet Danielle Sellers
February 9, 2011 by Serena
Poet Danielle Sellers; Copyright Chris Hayes
On Feb. 3 at the Poetry Blog of 32 Poems Magazine my interview with poet Danielle Sellers was posted. She's a contributor to the magazine and was a delight to interview, especially since we share a similar obsession with the soap opera, The Young and the Restless!
First, let me tantalize you with a bit from the interview, and then you can go on over and check the rest out for yourself.
Without further ado, here's the interview.
How would you introduce yourself to a crowded room eager to hang on your every word? Are you just a poet, what else should people know about you?
My mother loves to tell the story of me, age 4 or 5, called up with the other children by the preacher at Old Stone Methodist church in Key West. When I arrived at the front of the church, all the other children were already seated, the preacher had begun his sermon, and I interrupted with a big wave and an overly-enthusiastic, "Hi, Kids!" So once that would happen, what people would most likely find out about me is that I'm a single mom to a very silly girl, much like the one about whom I just told you. I'm a foodie, and a lover of animals. I do rescue work when I can. I am spiritual, but not religious.
Most writers will read inspirational/how-to manuals, take workshops, or belong to writing groups. Did you subscribe to any of these aids and if so which did you find most helpful? Please feel free to name any "writing" books you enjoyed most (i.e. Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott).
I have been faithful to the workshop scene since college, but I find the readership of one or two close friends to be the best kind of intimate discussion. But it's hard to find friends whose work you admire who aren't insanely busy. I do have several good readers I'd like to keep in a brass bottle, to call on them whenever I wished. But then they'd be servants, not friends, and that would defeat the purpose.
In terms of friendships, have your friendships changed since you began focusing on writing? Are there more writers among your friends or have your relationships remained the same?
I'm sad to say my friendships have changed. I still keep in touch with pals from high school and college, but my fellowship with other writers is more immediate. It's important to feel as though someone "gets" you. When I was a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, we had a very small, intimate class, and most of us were about the same age. We are still very close. I also made good friends with my classmates in the MFA program at Ole Miss, and count them as some of the most important friendships of my life. Friendships have also been made at the Sewanee Writers' Conference, which I've attended twice, once as a participant, and once as a scholar. Even for those who choose not to attend MFA programs, conferences like these are key to a writer's development and socialization.
She also included a poem for readers to check out:
STRANGE-COUNTRIED MEN
My daughter, alive only twenty months,
climbs up to the World Market
polished oak table, to rearrange
my fall tribute of gourds and maize.
She takes a withered husk
in her mouth, new teeth gnaw
the dry texture. Her fingers
grip the technicolor kernels.
I think of our Cherokee ancestors,
Georgia and Mexico, who married
young and hungry, forced
from the lush Smokies to the bluffs
of Cooter, MO. On the other side,
Stonewall Jackson's a distant cousin.
She has his blue eyes, stubborn
streak, and the aptitude to shoot.
Senator-talk moves through the house:
immigration cases on the rise, the need
for an electrified perimeter, protection
from the outside. Now, my daughter
flaps her arms like a turkey, feathered
boa slung across her human neck.
Her father volunteered to kill
Sunni and Shiite men in war.
I married him for his blue-collar
arms, nimble hands
and thick cock. He liked me tan,
soft-bellied, full with child.
In the desert, he wrote letters
home, the squat script promising
me daughters. He delivered one,
but does not love her well.

Wonderful interview. And I love Danielle's poem!
bermudaonion (Kathy) says
Great interview! I love her answer to the friendship question – I think we all need friends who "get" us.
I love seeing the variety of answers that poets and authors give to similar questions.
I'm going to have to borrow this book! That's the kind of poetry I enjoy, with imagery and narration.

Serena has read 2 books toward her goal of 75 books.


"To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss."
This is what happens when extremists get into office. They have no concept how to govern, they lack a knowledge of history and they hurt our country. These people are NOT THE BEST OR BRIGHTEST, they are in fact the worst and dumbest. We are now paying a price for their ignorance and intransigence. This is a case of donkeys leading lions.
"For the first time in history, the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded.
This "tea party downgrade" is a shameful blow to our nation's honor and risks throwing us right back into recession. Worst of all? It was completely avoidable.
But when given the choice between extremist posturing and responsible leadership, tea party Republicans chose wrong. And now, amazingly, they're trying to pin the blame on Democrats.

The Towanda Area Historical Museum
The Towanda Area Historical Museum is located at 401 Main Street, Towanda, KS. The building previously housed the Towanda Masonic Lodge No. 30 A.F. & A.M. Our building was constructed in 1904 and on November 24, 2003 became listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Towanda Masonic Lodge #30 was organized in September of 1885 and met in the Towanda schoolhouse until they were able to build their own building.
Museum, current day.
In May 1903, the Towanda Masonic Lodge #30 purchased a lot on the southeast corner of Third and Main street in Towanda, Butler County, Kansas. It was purchased from Mr. A. Lancer for the sum of $50.00 plus $6.00 for an abstract and a $1.15 fee for recording of the deed. In June, a committee consisting of Andrew J. Ralston, chairman, William R Green, Micheal Orban, Jr., Peter Poorbaugh, and Daniel H. Cupp was appointed to prepare plans for the new building to house the Masonic Lodge and submit this plans to a contractor.
In the spring of 1904, bonds were sold to the members to raise money to pay for the construction of a new building. The cost of which was not to exceed $3,000.00.
The cornerstone laying ceremony was held on June 2, 1904, with Thomas G Fitch, Grand Master in charge. The lodge officers taking part were, Andrew J Ralston, Master; John C Straw, Senior Warden: Samuel Gl Huddleson, Junior Warden; Michael Orban, Jr., Treasurer; Charles Davis, Secretary; Daniel Cupp, Senior Deacon; S.E. Cornelius, Junor Deacon; John Cappas, Senior Steward; Claude Green, Junior Steward; and James N. Robinson, Tyler. The Methodist Church, The Christian Church, a band, and a choir all took part in the ceremony. A number of articles were deposited in the cornerstone, some of which are viewable at the Museum today.
During 1909 and 1910, lamps were suspended by ropes from the ceiling and in 1911, electric lights were installed throughout the building. The average monthly bill being about $2.00.
In 1913, two trees were planted in the back lot.
In May 1917, a cement floor was installed in the basement.
Natural gas and a phone were installed in 1919, as well as running water and a sink.
During the early 1920's, several improvements were made and the basement was fixed up for a banquet room.
In those early years, the ground floor was rented to various businesses, such as an implement shop, a dry goods store and the post office which occupied the front part of the building until 1961. The Museum still holds the original postmasters sorting box. In 1947, a room behind the Post Office was petitioned off for the Towanda Library. On May 22, the Library Board first met to perfect its organization and on Saturday, July 12, the Library opened. The Post Office stayed in this building until they moved into their new building in 1961. At which time, the Library expanded and used the large area that later became the dining area on the first floor. In 1966, the Library moved out and a partition was removed from the first floor. An indoor stairway was built giving inside access to the second floor - after using the outdoor fire escape for all those years, in all kind of weather. It was a real joy to have indoor access!
In 1975, central air conditioning was installed, but in May the concrete slab for the air conditioner was vandalized so a fence was installed to protect it. And later in 1983, a fire escape was installed to the southeast corner of the building.
In September of 1980, the back lot was leased to Brother Tom Pyle and a new roof was put on the building
The Masons were very proud of their Lodge and their building. Over the years they added many improvements and was sure that regular maintenance was done in a timely manner. Due to the "times", membership declined and it became apparent that consolidation with another lodge was imminent. In December 1995, the Lodge consolidated with Mystic Tie Lodge #97 of Augusta. Over time, the windows were bricked up because of loss of heat and cooling, as well as glass breakage. In January 1996, the Towanda Lodge gave the building to the City of Towanda to be used as a Historical Museum. The deed was signed February 8, 1996 and recorded February 9, 1996. This historic building now houses the history, artifacts and other memorabilia of the area. Hank Burchard Margaret Wilson and Gene Thomas, among many other community members created the original museum. In the fall of 2017, a new board of volunteers formed to bring new life and style to the existing Museum. The decision was made to dismantle the existing museum to update the then 113 year old building which is listed on the Historical Register of Deeds. All contents were boxed up and the process of uncover-rediscover began. Three years later, this band of visioneers is proud to share this incredible gift with the community of Towanda and the surrounding towns in which we pay tribute to.
"This museum isn't just a gift to our community, but a tribute to our heritage. A place we can continue education, and build a stronger sense of community together." - Tricia Lee, president
A huge thank you to our team of incredible volunteers, Andy and Michelle Newbrey, Val Hind, Tricia Lee, and Marilyn Luszczak for the countless hours they volunteered and invested in research and building. For the thoughtful contributions from Brian Albert, Spencer Lee, Maurice Hind, and Sam schwemmer. A special thank you to our young museum ambassadors for helping out when we needed them the most, Jenna Moore, Kyndal Lee, Leah Moore, Madison Nace and Drew Allen.

From Maastricht to Brexit
Democracy, Constitutionalism and Citizenship in the EU
By Richard Bellamy and Dario Castiglione
Collecting articles written over the course of this period is not just meant as the testimony of an intellectual journey, but also a way of tracing such a journey in retrospect and mapping the important moments of the intellectual and scholarly debates that have contributed to shaping both our understanding and our expectations of the EU's possible futures.

Ebook ISBN: 9781786609946 Release date: Jun 2019
Is the European Union still a viable project? The last few years have been difficult both economically and politically, while its integrative function and legitimacy have been seriously tested. For many social, economic and geo-political reasons, its expansionary moment has stopped abruptly. On the contrary, the Greek economic crisis and the Brexit referendum have raised the spectre of fragmentation and political disintegration.
The promise of the EU as a possible model for legitimate governance beyond the nation state lies somewhat in tatters. Even if the EU may indeed survive most of its current crises, is the project of a EU as a normative project beyond rescue? Ever since Maastricht, the democratic legitimacy of the EU has been a key concern of policy makers, citizens and academics alike. This issue is essentially a normative one, and over the same period our work in this area has been at the forefront in exploring what has come to be known (following an early working paper we wrote with this title in 2000) 'the normative turn in EU studies'.
The debate on the democratic form and legitimacy of the EU is one that has gone on for some time and to which we, together with other scholars, have tried to contribute in the course of the last twenty years or so. Collecting articles written over the course of this period is not just meant as the testimony of an intellectual journey, but also a way of tracing such a journey in retrospect and mapping the important moments of the intellectual and scholarly debates that have contributed to shaping both our understanding and our expectations of the EU's possible futures.

Cases cited in the book
Richard Bellamy is Director of the Max Weber Programme at the EUI and Professor of Political Science, University College London (UCL).
Dario Castiglione is Director of the Centre for Political Thought at the University of Exeter.
Richard Bellamy and Dario Castiglione have authored - together, alone and with others - many essays on European democracy which they now assemble in a rich compilation prefaced by a new essay spanning from Maastricht to Brexit. The challenges that interconnectedness poses to legitimate governance in Europe, at both national and EU level, are addressed from a republican view of politics which puts a premium on freedom as non-domination. Between the contraposed solutions offered by cosmopolitanism and communitarianism that propose, respectively, a leap forward into global governance and a retrenchment into national self-determination, Bellamy and Castiglione advance "cosmopolitan communitarianism" as a normative position that holds together a sense of responsibility vis-à-vis the citizens of other national communities and a sense of ownership of the decisions made on behalf of one's national community in a context of interdependency. It is in the balance between a new and more complex notion of sovereignty and multilevel inter-institutional checks that the idea of the republican mixed government which "removes arbitrary power from any single agent or agency" can be resurrected to yield the solution for legitimate governance in the contemporary EU. A highly readable and remarkably coherent set of essays that contribute sometimes in a conclusive manner to the many normative debates that have characterized European Union studies.
Simona Piattoni, Professor of Political Science, University of Trento
This book has the potential to make people think afresh about the EU. Rather than trying to persuade the reader with familiar arguments of either Eurosceptics or Euroenthusiasts, the authors conceive of the EU as a paradigmatic case for "taking back control" in an interconnected world by a kind of international governance between democratic states and their peoples—demoicracy.
Ulrich K. Preuss, Professor Emeritus of Law and Politics, Hertie School of Governance
Dario Castiglione and Richard Bellamy have managed to cover all important challenges of the current state of the European Union. Their tightly composed volume is a lucid and transparent exercise in what I would call constitutional sociology of the European Union. Legitimacy of both the "polity" and "regime" of the EU are the key reference problems. After the silent majority of compliant Europeans has been displaced by the noisy minority of populists, the gap between them and the ruling EU technocracy must be filled by a politics of building supranational democracy. The book makes us understand the magnitude of this challenge.
Claus Offe, Professor Emeritus of Political Sociology at the Hertie School of Governance
The two authors are the Gold Standard when it comes to this topic.
Glyn Morgan, Director of the Moynihan Center of European Studies, Syracuse University

Writer tells of AR-game influence on drama
Updated : 2019-01-16 19:43
By Park Jin-hai
Writer Song Jae-jung speaks about her fantasy thriller "Memories of the Alhambra" during a press conference at FKI Tower in Seoul, Tuesday. Courtesy of CJ ENM
Song Jae-jung, 45, who wrote the country's first augmented reality-gaming drama "Memories of the Alhambra," said her drama was inspired by tech mogul Elon Musk and the "Pokemon Go" game.
"I happened to read Elon Musk's autobiography and his life story inspired me to create the male lead of the drama," the writer said during a press conference at FKI Tower in Seoul, Tuesday. "I seldom read storytelling-focused books like novels. Instead I read humanities books and magazines. I'm drawn to stories of real figures and how they live this world… some extraordinary figures living abroad."
The fantasy thriller tells the story of Yoo Jin-woo ― played by Hyun Bin ― a young CEO of a private equity group that invests in the IT industry, who happens to play a genius AR game and realizes how enchanting and realistic the AR gaming world can be.
But the game gets bugged and its virtual world encroaches on the real world, turning the game's magic into a curse; when a player gets injured in the game, they suffer real pain. Killing an opponent in the game's world causes real death.
The 16-part weekend drama with two more episodes left brings drama aficionados into the experimental world of AR with high-end computer graphics, cinematography and fast-paced storytelling. Its viewership averages 10 percent.
"When I first played Pokemon Go, I thought it was really cool. It gave me an eye-opening moment," said Song, who calls herself part of the "game generation."
"Before I thought I would not be able to depict virtual reality in my drama if I didn't secure a budget as big as films like Avatar or Ready Player One. But Pokemon Go made me think I may be able to write a virtual reality story using AR technology."
Her idea expanded and made her wonder what it would be like if people faced an advanced version of Pokemon Go in the streets. "Some may get frightened and others may fall in love with it. Maybe some could feel as if they don't have to go through the troubles of finding dates or friends. I was overwhelmed and frightened by the technological development," the writer said.
Song started her career as a sitcom writer in 1996. She has worked on various sitcoms including "Soonpoong Clinic" (1998-2000) and "High Kick!" (2006-2007).
She became a drama writer in 2010 and her freewheeling imagination and atypical writing style has made her one of the most-sought-after writers today. Her previous two popular fantasy dramas "Queen and I" (2012) and "Nine" (2013) tell time-slip stories. "W-Two Worlds" (2016) goes back and forth between the real world and another dimension, the world of the webcomic.
The writer says her unique drama plot stems from her over-10-year career as a sitcom writer. "As a young sitcom writer, I spent many years away from drama. I was not a big drama fan and was more into books and films. I didn't get the proper training to become a drama writer. Unlike other mini-series drama writers, I write each episode thinking of a separate small story with an ending like a sitcom. Then elements of the films and books I've seen and read get incorporated," she said calling herself a "hybrid writer."
"I take the liberty to choose what can be told, say, a human falling in love with an alien, but I pursue realism in expressing human feelings. So depicting their feelings leading to love should be done as realistically as possible," Song said.
She added that while she was working on the drama, she was really impressed by Korean digital special effects technicians' skills.
"I was afraid of taking on the challenge of AR gaming genre. Since there was no prior drama to take reference, people I've talked with painted different pictures in their heads. But when I first saw the first episode, it was really beyond my expectations how realistically those technicians embodied the AR world in the drama," she said. "Memories of the Alhambra introduced the AR genre to viewers, applying only basic gaming concepts like doing missions, level-ups and alliances. I think maybe I can tell another gaming story in my next project applying more advanced gaming rules."

Getting through to the interview stage of any recruitment process is already a great achievement, but it's not time to take your foot off the pedal just yet. Your CV has passed the initial sift, and you now have the potential to wow your interviewers in person – so what does it take to stand out from the competition?
Not only will looking the part impress your interviewer, but you'll feel more mentally prepared to tackle the interview confidently. Wearing expensive, designer clothes is not important, but taking pride in y0ur appearance will increase your chances of getting that job offer. In the medical aesthetics industry in particular, appearances can play a large role, and it's critical to show your interviewers that you're ready to walk into the job looking the part.
Being nervous is completely normal, and can be a reflection of your passion and enthusiasm for the role. It's important to compartmentalise these nerves when you step into the boardroom, taking a deep breath, and focusing on the task at hand. Using apps such as Calm and listening to relaxing music before you sit down in front of your potential new employer can be useful when it comes to finding some inner zen.
As the old saying goes: fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Employers want to see that you've put in the groundwork and have researched the company, as well as the role itself. Do your homework, reach out to your contacts and ask questions. Learn about the company's mission, objectives and values, as well as doing research into any recent news articles or events.
Concerned you might not have years and years of experience? This doesn't have to be a deal breaker. To be a success in medical aesthetics sales is about so much more. What skills can you bring to this role, and how could your previous experience be used to your benefit in this sector?
Landing the dream job is just as much about you as it is the company. Is it the right move for you? Does it align with your goals and projected career plan? Ensure that when you attend the interview that you ask all of the questions that you need answers to, in order to ascertain whether or not this job is for you.
