Efraim Yudewitz, Camp Director
Efraim Yudewitz is the Director of Camp Tel Noar and is excited to plan for another fantastic summer in Hampstead. Efraim brings a deep background in camping and experiential education, along with a great deal of personal warmth. Prior to returning to his passion for overnight camp, Efraim spent seven years at Gann Academy, the independent Jewish high school, where he served first as Associate Director of Experiential Education and more recently as Co-Director of Admissions. As he'll tell you, "I consider helping students shape their identities and passions to be an honor and awesome opportunity", and he applies that same outlook to his time with campers and staff. Efraim developed his love for Judaism and Jewish education at Jewish summer camp, where he spent eleven summers as a camper and then a staff member. He has served on the faculty of the Foundation for Jewish Camp's Cornerstone Fellowship program — where he engaged camp counselors in designing Jewish sports programming, among other projects — and of the Prozdor Hebrew High School of Hebrew College. Efraim graduated from Rutgers University in 2006 where he received the Maurice and Irma Meyer Award for excellence in Jewish Studies. He loves camp and loves sharing with the entire CTN community as well has his two daughters, Mia and Elana, and his wife, Jessica. View on LinkedIn – Email Efraim
Amanda Charson, Assistant Director
When you call to enroll or ask questions, you'll likely speak with Amanda first. Amanda is joining CTN's year-round team in early 2019, but she already knows camp well; she was the CTN Program Director for three years, 2011-13. She comes to us from another assistant director role in which she has led youth and engagement for synagogue K-6 programs. She has extensive background as a high school teacher and an innovative K-12 synagogue school leader. Amanda holds a BA from the University of Florida and has attended law school as well. She says, "Growing up at summer camp taught me so much about friendship, independence, and the value of sleepaway camp for growth and confidence. I was a camp counselor for 5 years even before I came to CTN. Camp is close to my heart. Now I am so thrilled to rejoin Camp Tel Noar!
Michelle Jackson, Assistant Director
Michelle is returning to camp in even more of a leadership role. She has been CTN Program Director since 2017. As always, she brings a huge amount of creativity, energy and fun! She came to CTN from thirteen years at the Stoughton YMCA (previously the Striar JCC). In her career, she has overseen day camps, after-school programming, aquatics, membership, and family programming. She grew up in Marblehead where everyone she knew was connected to summer camps, and she is delighted to have her own camp friends now! With a BA in Psychology from Bowdoin, and her incredible experience, Michelle is a terrific asset to camp. Michelle loves being a part of this camp family and sharing her experience with her own family and wife (CTN alum!) Shanna Belenky.
Sharon Lasky, Director of Community Support
Our most tenured member of staff, Sharon has spent 48 summers on Sunset Lake and is always counting down to the next! Sharon is bubbly, fun and a wonderful resource for our campers, counselors, parents and everyone in between. Have a summer birthday? Sharon will be the first to lead the camp in singing Happy Birthday and the first to skip around the room! You can always find Sharon around camp sporting her sun hat and walkie-talkie, ready for anything. Sharon is a great source of knowledge about the traditions and history of camp and helps infuse the legacy of Tel Noar in all that she does.
Lee Krasnoo, Head Counselor
Working with our male campers and counselors, and in close partnership with the other Head Counselors, we have the beloved Lee Krasnoo. Lee has been with us since 2013 and has found his second home at Tel Noar after spending many years at several other overnight camps. He is a High School Latin teacher and wrestling coach in Wayland. Camp Tel Noar wouldn't be the same without his calm, caring demeanor around camp and his Color War face paint and spirit. Lee is approachable, warm and your go-to guy if you want to laugh. Campers and staff know that Lee is always available if they need anything at all!
Kevin Fisher, Head Counselor
Kevin is thrilled to join the Head Counselor team at Camp Tel Noar again this summer! Kevin is currently the Hampstead Middle School Choral Director just a couple minutes up the road from CTN. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of New Hampshire where he was member of The New Hampshire Gentlemen – an all-male a cappella group. Kevin has his master's degree in Educational Leadership/Administration from Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH. He coaches soccer and softball, teaches piano and voice lessons, and enjoys traveling to and exploring New York City and the New Hampshire seacoast. Kevin grew up and attended summer camp in Norton, Massachusetts – 30 minutes south of Boston, and his dad worked at both Camp Pembroke and Camp Tel Noar! He is an active Boston Red Sox fan and theater-goer, and he loves playing tennis in the summer!
Sharyn Wedge, Head Counselor
Sharyn will be returning to Camp Tel Noar for her 18th summer! Sharyn grew up as a camper, counselor, and eventually Head Counselor before taking a hiatus from camp. Her daughter Madi started her own camp career in 2014 as a camper and it is obvious that CTN is in their blood. Sharyn is a speech pathologist in the Sharon public schools and she lives nearby in Stoughton, MA. She spent her previous years on staff as a member of the Boating and Canoeing Department so she is always certain to make time to spend a free period on the waterfront. Welcome back Sharyn!
Jill Vetstein, Head Counselor
Jill joined the CTN Head Counselor team in 2017, we don't know what we did before her! This will be Jill's 18th summer at the Cohen Camps (including 8 years as camper and 7 as counselor at Camp Pembroke). Jill's last summer at Pembroke was also the summer she started dating her husband at a social in 1997. She has worked at other summer camps, enrichment programs, schools and non-profit organizations over the years. Jill has a Masters degree in Social Work and Bachelors in Education and Human Services. Jill lives in Ashland, MA with her husband and two children and is originally from Framingham. Jill keeps herself busy during the year with her own two kids and in her Framingham psychotherapy practice working with children and parents. Jill believes that a happy staff make happy campers and happy campers make happy parents. She is looking forward to fostering that environment for the entire Camp Tel Noar family.
Sivan Elefson, Head Counselor
Sivan is so VERY excited to rejoin the Head Counselor team at Camp Tel Noar this summer. With her varied and extensive experience working with children and families at both day and overnight camps as well as her work in her community, she brings a warm and knowledgeable approach to supporting campers, counselors and families. Sivan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts. She has an MA in Mental Health Counseling & Expressive Therapy from Lesley University and a BA in Visual Art from Roger Williams University. Currently, Sivan works in her private counseling practice as well as teaching Music & Movement classes to preschool aged children at her local health club. When not working in her community, she is busy chasing her energetic son and supporting her daughter who is finishing 3rd grade and excited to be attending overnight camp for the first time herself! Sivan is an alumnus of Camp Pembroke where she spent 4 summers, and where the love of Jewish learning was fostered. Since then there has always been a special place in her heart for camp family! Sivan is looking forward to making new camp memories and building bonds that last a lifetime!
Jessica Cressionnie, Head of Drama
Jessica Cressionnie is so excited to be heading up the drama program for another summer. Tel Noar was her very first summer camp experience in 2017 and she hasn't looked back! Jessica teaches with Wingspan Arts, The Dalton School, and The Salk School of Science in New York City. Originally a Louisiana native, she has been working in theatre since her initial role at the age of three and has been directing and writing shows since junior high school. She has directed numerous shows professionally with non-profit theatres and schools, some of which include: "Winnie the Pooh," "The Jungle Book," "The Commedia Pinocchio," and "Happy Days: A New Musical." While in Louisiana, she founded Synergy Performing Arts, LLC; ran the drama department at St. Thomas Aquinas High School; created and ran a drama program at Harvest Christian Academy; and taught private piano/voice lessons. Jessica recently finished her master's degree in Educational Theatre at NYU and can't wait to share everything that she has learned with the Camp Tel Noar community!
Sara Haskin, Head of Arts & Crafts
Sara is currently a middle school art teacher at RJ Grey Jr. High in Acton, MA. Much of her life has revolved around camp and art and she spent 13 years as a camper and counselor at Camp Yavneh. Entering her 6th summer at Tel Noar she is looking forward to new and innovative projects and working on community art installations. She did her undergrad at the University of Vermont and her masters at the University of Wisconsin in Art Education. She comes to camp with her energetic, awesome boys, Jonah and Phin! They love camp as much as Sara and can't wait to be back at their summer home.
Molly Winsten, Special Diets Coordinator
Molly Winsten is thrilled to be returning to Camp Tel Noar this summer. She started years ago as a camper and as a CIT and loved every second of it, and can't wait to be able to bring her passion for special diets to a place she cares so much about. She received her masters in nutrition and her dietitians license from Boston University. After being diagnosed with multiple food allergies and sensitivities her freshman year in college, she chose to embrace the challenge and begin her journey with nutrition. In her spare time she loves playing sports! She was a varsity athlete in undergrad and played rugby for BU, so fitness and health are also very important to her, and she understands the importance of making sure your kids have the calories and nutrition they need to enjoy every second at camp. She is so excited to meet everyone and begin the camp season!
Katie Hamelburg, Jewish Programming
Katie is a Washington, DC native who recently moved to the Boston area. She attended the University of Maryland, studying Jewish and Middle East studies with a focus in Hebrew Language Education and is thrilled to be joining us at CTN. Katie was active in her Jewish community in college, co-creating the conservative minyan and pluralistic Jewish group on campus. She also organized a tutoring program at a local high school and an Alternative Winter Break program in Guatemala, as a part of Maryland Hillel's Center for Social Justice. Outside of university, Katie was a returning staff member for United Synagogue Youth, working with middle and high school students while serving on the education team for Seaboard Region USY. She was the advisor at a local synagogue, and staffed USY on Wheels in 2016. Katie is an avid Israeli dancer who loves performing and attending weekly Israeli dance sessions, and is excited to begin exploring Boston. She is really excited to see what CTN is all about!
Kerri Tabasky, Programming Specialist
Kerri is thrilled to return to CTN for another summer, with a role in special programming. She'll be involved in our media and podcast programs as well as support our culinary program. In the off-season, Kerri spends her days writing and developing the TV dark comedy "Mac and Drew", starring Lauren Potter, Chris Kattan, Scott Evans, and Max Adler. She's also working with fellow CTN alum David Yas to launch The Boston Podcast Network, and looks forward to bringing podcasting to camp as an elective. In addition, Kerri is a public speaker and talks with kids and adults about the importance of acceptance and inclusion. She lives in Sudbury, MA with her husband, their three daughters Jordan, Maya, and Anna, and dog, Rizzo. Jordan and Maya are longtime CTN campers and they are all counting down until the summer!
David Leifer, Digital Photography Specialist
David is excited to be at Camp Tel Noar full time this year. As a commercial photographer David has been visiting CTN, as well as Camp Pembroke and Camp Tevya, a few days each summer for the last fifteen years, producing the photographs for the camp websites and print brochures. Since graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology, David has been working in corporate and editorial photography, specializing in people on location; from musicians, construction workers and CEOs to professors, students and campers! David is equally passionate about teaching. From being a technology integration specialist at Lawrence Elementary School in Brookline, MA to teaching at Tufts University, adult ed, summer camps and Elderhostel, David has taught photography, digital image editing, poetry, journalism, modern dance and SCUBA diving. Having grown up in Miami Beach David loves to wear tropical shirts, when he's not in a CTN staff shirt. And this summer you might just catch him combining the two. He is thrilled to be a part of the CTN Media team and to be able to spend his summer at camp.
The Tel Noar staff undertakes with great care its responsibility to nurture and care for our campers. Each staff member works hard to serve as a role model and to make a positive impact each day. Tel Noar administrative and supervisory personnel are camping professionals and educators with many years of experience working with children. Many Tel Noar counselors were Tel Noar campers themselves, and each of those came through our Dor L'Dor capstone program which combines an Israel experience with counselor training. Some of our counselors come from abroad, including a contingent from Israel, which greatly enhances the camp experience. We select our staff for their experience, maturity, creativity, and sense of responsibility. Our summer staff attends a week-long Staff Orientation, in addition to individual specialty training to improve teaching skills. Ongoing training continues throughout the summer with seminars and mentoring.

Remains of Marfa Army Airfield
Nearby (25)
By kjfitz @ 2011-03-09 21:10:41
@ 30.259215, -103.880711
Marfa, Texas (TX), US
Marfa Army Airfield is an abandoned airfield located in the high desert of West Texas, about 200 miles (320 km) southeast of El Paso.
During World War II, Marfa Army Airfield, was an installation of the Army Air Force Training Command West Coast Training Center.
Today, all of the runways, taxiways & ramps of this huge airfield still exist. Although many of the wartime buildings were sold at action and moved to Marfa or nearby Alpine, Texas, large numbers of wartime buildings still stand on the base with several hangars in existence. One of the hangars has been turned into an art gallery as part of the Chinati Foundation. The old officer's club has been turned into a B&B. In the basement, there is a mural that was drawn by World War II German POWs. Slowly, however, the West Texas desert is reclaiming the large airbase, with tall grass being found on the parking apron, and deteriorating concrete evident on the taxiways and runways.
The original main entrance road still exists, however it is gated and locked. A small brass memorial plaque can be found on the remains of the World War II adobe block entrance to the post.

Benjamin Linder – Presente!
By admin May 1, 2014 Nicaragua Libre
Twenty-seven years ago Ben Linder was killed by U.S. backed counterrevolutionary forces while building small hydroelectric dams to bring electricity to remote villages in the mountains of northern Nicaragua. Ben was only twenty-seven years of age when he was murdered along with two co-workers, Pablo Rosales and Sergio Hernandez.
During the 1980's people like Ben, Pablo and Sergio were deliberately targeted throughout Nicaragua by contra forces as part of a U.S. military doctrine called of "low intensity warfare" in which the intent is to terrorize the civilian population. During the 1980's, the United States sponsored contra forces targeted the civilian population with the objective of destroying the Sandinista revolution.
However, Ben's murder deepened opposition to U.S. intervention in Nicaragua and Central America by shining light on the devastating impact of U.S. sponsored counterinsurgency wars. Today I found these words of Ben that express his concern for the impact of U.S. policy that raged around him 27 years ago:
"I see the kids and I feel like taking them all away to a safe place to hide until the war stops and the hunger stops and El Cuá becomes strong enough to give them the care they deserve. The pied piper of El Cuá. But I can't do that, and even if I could it wouldn't help the neighboring towns. So instead, I try to put in light, and hope for the best." www.learningfromlyrics.org/Linder.html
On this 27th anniversary of his murder, we thank Ben for his gift of light and hope.

US-China Today: China's Cat Craze: Paw Prints on China's Economy .
Cat cafes are a popular business model that are increasingly common in many Chinese cities. The cafe owner provides a home for several cats, many of which are adopted, and customers get to enjoy their beverages while pampering the felines. Cat owner Zhang Xuechen told Xinhua News that cat cafes "...are popular among Chinese youth and have become good places to make friends." Liza, who chose to be identified by her English name, runs a cat cafe in Shanghai called Marvelous Cat Garden. Her cafe receives a wide variety of visitors, including tourists and families. She observes, "We find that citizens' incomes are increasing, while their living pace is intensive, so they like to spend on pets to gain some comfort." The cafe even occasionally hosts company events, birthday parties and alumni reunions.

Q: Creating a web2py form based on the currently authenticated user which populates a database table I have a database table which references the web2py-supplied
auth_user table:
db.define_table('t_user_business',
    Field('f_user_id', type='reference auth_user',
          label=T('User Id')),
    Field('f_name', type='string',
          label=T('Name')),
    Field('f_link', type='string',
          label=T('Link')),
    Field('f_importance', type='integer',
          label=T('Importance')),
    auth.signature,
    format='%(f_user_id)s',
    migrate=settings.migrate)

I would like to design a page which has a form that lists all the
current entries in this table for the authenticated
user. E.g. something along the lines of
db.t_user_business.f_user_id==3

Where 3 is replaced with the auth_user.id value of the currently
logged in user.
Also, on the same page, I would like to have a form that allows the user to
enter a new record for this table and upon submission it commits this
validated record to the database.

A: When a user is logged in, the value of the user ID is in auth.user_id, so you can use that to set the default value of the f_user_id field:
Field('f_user_id', type='reference auth_user',
      default=auth.user_id, # Will be None if no logged in user.
      readable=False, writable=False, label=T('User Id'))

With the above default, whenever a SQLFORM form is submitted for this table, the value of f_user_id will automatically be set to the ID of the currently logged in user.
Note, the readable and writable attributes are set to False, so this field will not appear in forms. It will also not appear in the grid, but you can change that by changing the readable attribute before defining the grid:
db.t_user_business.f_user_id.readable = True

To display a grid of records in this table associated with the current user (without any view/edit/delete buttons), you can do:
grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.t_user_business.f_user_id == auth.user_id,
                    deletable=False, editable=False, details=False)

"The Labor Movement – the Folks that Brought You the Weekend," is more than a bumper sticker cliché. Unions, at our best, are at the forefront of transformational social change. Serving not just our own members but helping to build a more just world. It may be no surprise unions have fought to ensure workers have the freedom to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages and benefits. In fact, we are still working today to enact the Employee Free Choice Act because we know (just as Dr. King knew standing with those sanitation workers in Memphis) that when workers have a voice on the job they help build an economy that works for everyone. But we have also helped lead the fight for the minimum wage, a 40-hour work week, Medicare, Social Security and Civil Rights.

For an utterly authoritative list of the greatest films of all time, look no further than the Sight & Sound Magazine's The Greatest Films Poll, commissioned every ten years since 1952. As conservative as they are – the six editions from 1952 to 2002 have only 33 films shifting positions in the Top 10 – the selections always have come up with undeniable masterpieces. Movies that every serious film enthusiast should see.
The Greatest Films Past Polls (1952-2002) – Sight & Sound
In the latest 2012 edition (originally published in the September 2012 Issue), critics helped to dethrone Citizen Kane (1941, Orson Welles) from the number 1 position – maintained for five decades – and crowned Vertigo (1958, Alfred Hitchcock) as the best film of all time.
2012 Poll Critics' Top 250 Films – Sight & Sound
2012 Poll Directors' Top 100 Films – Sight & Sound
2012 Poll All Films – Sight & Sound
For a more extensive list, attempting to represent the whole history of cinema, all genres, all countries, the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (ed. Steven Jay Schneider) (first published in 2003) is an exceptional guide. Since its publication, the huge book has become kind of a bible for film enthusiasts, with several blogs dedicated to the attempting of watching all of its titles.
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die – Steven J. Schneider
Back in 2004 The New York Times published a book, The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made (ed. Peter M. Nichols), another relevant list of great films. Compared with the 1001 Movies tome, this book is more conservative in its approach. Whereas the former tries to encompass all movements, all breakthroughs, the representatives of all new techniques in the history of the medium, The New York Times Guide, in a straightforward way, attempts to simply list the greatest movies of all time.
The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made
Back in 1986, Danny Peary published his book Guide for the Film Fanatic. The book has more than 1,600 short reviews of must see films. Then in 2006, the FILMFANATIC.ORG site was created with the intention of discussing Peary's choices. The site is a real gem: it is well-written with extensive information on the films. FILMFANATIC.ORG mention both the 1001 Movies book and The New York Times one, comparing those lists to the one in Peary's book.
FILMFANATIC.ORG
In 2007 The Guardian newspaper in the UK also had a go at the 1,000 Films to See Before You Die (originally published between 25/06/2007 and 29/06/2007). The list is also very good, but (like The New York Times' one) definitely less representative of say, cult or avantgarde cinema, than the book edited by Schneider. With films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994, Tom Shadyac) and Zoolander (2001, Ben Stiller), The Guardian's list leans more to the popular, but is nevertheless an impressive guide for cinephiles.
1,000 Films to See Before You Die – The Guardian
Then, in 2010 The Guardian published another list of The Greatest Films of All Time (originally published between 16/10/2010 and 22/10/2010), this time divided by genre. A total of 175 films were selected into seven different categories: romance, crime, comedy, action and war, drama and art house, sci-fi and fantasy, and horror. The list…
The Greatest Films of All Time – The Guardian
Personally I would not have films like Before Sunrise/Before Sunset, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Team America: World Police, Airplane!, Last of the Mohicans, Distant Voices, Still Lives, ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, Stars Wars, Dark Star, Edward Scissorhands, The Princess Bride, Starship Troopers, Let the Right One In, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween or The Evil Dead/Evil Dead II as the greatest films of all time. But I suppose the film critics at The Guardian tried to strike a balance between the best representatives of the art form and truly popular exemplars of the individual genres. The main problem with The Guardian's selection was that it had too few categories and too many mediocre films.
From a purist perspective, where lists of greatest films are made of masterpieces only, and a balance act does not have to be achieved, there are titles that cannot be omitted. Films like City Lights and It's a Wonderful Life (Romance); Se7en and Fargo (Crime); Young Frankenstein and Sideways (Comedy); The African Queen and Das Boot (Action and War); Bicycle Thieves and Last Year at Marienbad (Drama and Arthouse); Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Quiet Earth (Sci-Fi and Fantasy); The Birds and The Vanishing (1988) (Horror). The films divided by genre have the links below.
The 25 Best Films • Romance – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Crime – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Comedy – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Action and War – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Drama and Arthouse – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Sci-Fi and Fantasy – The Guardian
The 25 Best Films • Horror – The Guardian
Then in October 2013, The Guardian had another selection of greatest films by genres. This time though they had the sense of expanding the number of categories and limiting each one to a Top 10… (originally published between 07/10/2013 and 20/12/2013). The 22 different categories are: romance, action, comedy, horror, sci-fi, crime, art house, family movie, war, teen movie, superhero movie, western, documentary, movie adaptation, animation, silent, sports movie, film noir, musical, martial arts movie, biopic and music movie.
Top 10… (22 Categories) – The Guardian
And now to the mother of all lists. The site They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?, created and managed by Bill Georgaris, is probably the most comprehensive list-making to be found on the internet. Georgaris has the bravery of assembling thousands of the most relevant polls of greatest films around the world into a database and from there he generates a list of the most acclaimed films ever made into ranking order: THE 1,000 GREATEST FILMS. Also on the site is the greatest films of recent times: THE 21ST CENTURY'S MOST ACCLAIMED FILMS.
THE 1,000 GREATEST FILMS – They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?
THE 21ST CENTURY'S MOST ACCLAIMED FILMS – The Shoot Pictures, Don't They?
Last but definitely not one bit the least (no modesty was considered here!) is my own list of the greatest films of all time. All the big guns are there, but I also believe there are some less well-known gems – The Quiet Earth anyone?! My 200 film selection can be found on the page PANDORA'S BOX, on the right-side bar.

Literary classic "Wuthering Heights" charioted into Venice under veils of modernity, drove by grim, erotic, forbidden coldness
"As refreshing as a dawn walk in winter on the Yorkshire moors, Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights shows how 21st century cinema can — and should — go about boldly revitalizing even the most familiar literary properties. Emily Brontë's oft-filmed, multi-generational 1847 tale of forbidden passions in rural northern England may deal with fictional events set 300 years in the past, but Arnold and her collaborators depict them with a vivid, urgent vibrancy that instantly and absorbingly erases the gap of centuries." (Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter)
"Nature is the true star of Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, a raw and affecting adaptation that will bring a new audience to the Brontë story. Windswept moors have never looked as bleak as they do here, nor as rain-sodden. The Yorkshire Tourist Board shouldn't expect a boost in visitor numbers." (Anita Singh, The Telegraph ***)
"An admirable attempt to strip the story of "Wuthering Heights" down to its barest, most primal elements, helmer Andrea Arnold's first period feature and first adaptation of another writer's work is unfortunately more interesting in theory than it is to watch. Working with mostly non-professional thesps whose inexperience drains away much of the material's intrinsic passion, pic is dramatically flat and almost stylized in its austere excision of dialogue, non-source music and, strangest of all given the book's romantic rep, overt love scenes. Helmer's name and the title alone will guarantee distribution, but "Wuthering" won't reach arthouse B.O. heights." (Leslie Felperin, Variety)
"It's not quite a tearjerker, Arnold playing up the anger of the novel, and we sort of feel that's the way that it should be. It is, however, incredibly powerful, extremely sexy (there's one scene that takes place between Cathy and Heathcliff after the latter has been caned that's more erotic than anything we've seen in a while), and a truly remarkable reinvention of a text that beforehand, we weren't sure we ever needed to see on screen again. Arnold might misstep a little at the last with the use of a new song, "The Enemy," by Mumford & Sons, but for 99% of the running time the 2011 version of "Wuthering Heights" is a model of how to bring a classic novel kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century." (Oliver Lyttelton, IndieWire)
"Emily Brontë's windblown romance is stripped of its period frills and sweeping score. It comes caked in grime and damp with saliva. The script is salted with profanities, while the plot finds room for brief moments of a nudity and an animalistic al-fresco sex scene. Heathcliff, the Byronic forefather of English romantic fiction, is black." (Xan Brooks, The Guardian)

Changes For People Who Have a Limited Capability For Work
> Benefits
> Changes For People Who Have a Limited Capability For Work
There are new rules from April 2017 for Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit. If you make a new claim for ESA on or after 3 April 2017 (either Contributory or Income-Related), and you are put in the Work Related Activity Group, you will not receive the Work Related Activity Component. This component is worth £29.05 per week. However, if you are put in the Support Group, you will receive the Support Component of £37.65 per week.
There is a similar rule for Universal Credit. If
you make a new claim for Universal Credit on or after 3 April 2017 because you have become too sick to work (Note: this is only possible in areas which have the Digital UC Service),
or you have been claiming Universal Credit as a jobseeker, but you have become ill, so you make a request to be referred to a Work Capability Assessment on or after 3 April 2017,
or if you are found to have a Limited Capability For Work Activity (LCWRA) you will receive the LCWRA Element.
Protection If You Already Have A Limited Capability For Work
There is some protection if you were already on these benefits with a limited capability for work when the new rules came in. If your ESA award includes the Work Related Activity Component, or you already have a LCW element included in your Universal Credit award, this will continue and will only end if you are found fit for work, or there is a break in your claim.
Also, if your ESA claim was made before 3 April 2017, you're in the Support Group, and when you are next reassessed you are moved into the Work Related Activity Group, you will be paid the Work Related Activity Component.
Similar rules apply to Universal Credit claimants.
If when the rules came in on 3 April 2017, you had the Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity Element included in your assessment
If following your next Work Capability Assessment you are found to have Limited Capability for Work but not a Limited Capability for Work-Related Activities,
you can have an LCW element included in your Universal Credit assessment.
Requesting A Backdate
If you are making a new claim for ESA after 3 April 2017 but before 3 July 2017, requesting a backdate may be particularly useful. The reason for this is that if the claim is dated before 3 April 2017 and you are put in the Work-Related Activity Group, you will be paid the Work-Related Activity Component. Therefore, if you made your claim later than you could or should have done, you can ask for your ESA claim to be backdated by up to 3 months.
Note that ESA cannot be backdated further than the day after your Statutory Sick Pay ended, or if you were claiming a different benefit which cannot be claimed at the same time as ESA.
Challenging a Decision
If you are or have been found fit for work following a Work Capability Assessment and you do not think you are, then you should seek advice about challenging the decision. We can help witrh this, simply contact us on 0300 304 5000.
Many people who take their challenges to appeal stage are successful. If the decision that you were fit for work was made less than 13 months ago, it could still be possible to challenge it. If you win your challenge, this could mean that your period of limited capability for work started before 3 April 2017, so you will be paid the relevant component / element.
Susan has been getting ESA for 2 years, but in June 2017 after a reassessment, she is found to be fit for work. She claims Universal Credit (UC). She decides to challenge the decision, asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration and then she appeals. In December 2017 she wins her appeal and is found to have a limited capability for work (LCW).
An LCW Element gets added into her UC claim, backdated to June 2017 as her current period of limited capability for work started when she claimed ESA back in 2015.
If you are concerned about these changes then please contact us on 0300 304 5000.

The Mercedes Formula 1 team has extended Valtteri Bottas's contract for the 2018 season.
Bottas was signed as a last-minute replacement for 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg, who shocked F1 when he announced his retirement a week after winning the title.
The Finn has won two races so far this year as he has settled in alongside Lewis Hamilton, and it has long been believed that an extension of the deal was just a formality.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said: "We gave Valtteri a big challenge this year: joining the team at the eleventh hour, stepping up to the forefront of F1 and pairing with the sport's best driver as his teammate.
"With that in mind, his results have been probably even more impressive. There have been ups and downs - more ups, fewer downs - and some great highlights like his two race wins in Russian and Austria.
"Overall, the balance of his performances and his upward trajectory made it a no-brainer for us to continue with him into 2018. For our team, the bonus factors are the respect and sportsmanship that have grown between our two drivers.
"The chemistry and dynamic between Valtteri and Lewis work and are what we need to take the fight to our competitors."
By signing Bottas to another one year deal, Mercedes keeps its options open in the driver market for 2019, which Wolff has hinted in the past would play a role in the team's thinking.
Bottas, who sits third in the drivers' standings, added: "I am honoured and proud to continue to work with Mercedes in 2018 and to remain part of the Mercedes family.
"Together, we continue to grow stronger day by day, and by keeping up our hard work I believe the sky is the limit.
"Since joining the team in January, I've enjoyed every day working with them. As a driver, I've been able to learn and grow massively, and we have already enjoyed some really good moments this season that I will never forget.
"When the team hired me for the 2017 season, they took a leap of faith by putting their trust in my skills. This new contract for 2018 shows that I've earned that trust.
"I'm happy to have celebrated my first race wins in a Silver Arrow, however, there's always room for improvement and I still have not shown my full potential.
"I will continue to work hard on and off the track, to further improve my driving, get even better results and show that putting their trust in me was the right decision.

Long time no update, sorry about that but I've got a NEW PROJECT!
The new owner takes it for a test drive before he buy's the car. You should always do that so you know what you are getting into.
Test drive went OK so he gave me some money and loaded up the V12 in the back of a truck.
Then they headed for home 700km north of where i live.
During the spring 2007 i got a chance to buy another dream car, but i had no money left. So i had to sell my 42 Coupe.
This is what i bought for the money ;-) A 1933 Ford Roadster, if someone asked me if i would own a 1933-34 Roadster in my life i would have said NOWAY. but now i have one ;-) Funny how it goes.
The roadster is quite complete, just a lot of parts in boxes and cans.
When i got home is was sorting time.
A lot of stuff that i did not have a clue of where and what they are good for, but I'm a fast learner.
gauge, and some odd bolts.
During the shipping from Texas the rumble seat was damaged. So there is some work on that one to.
Another box with door stuff.
The roadster safe at home, ready for unloading..
Mr B Brandow checks out the driver seat (unfortunately there was no seat so he had to stand up).
Here is Mr B checking out the fender gap, it's good with young helpers;-).
And i think it's good for them to learn a bit about old junk to.
I took hundreds of reference pictures, to look at later on when my Altzheimer light strikes.
Something has happened behind the seat, maybe someone had mounted a roof or something a long time ago?
The chassie is fairly good, and some repair work has been done sometime during the years the car have spent here in Sweden.
After photo documenting i disassembled the rest of the car.
You have to go backward to get forward.
There is some work on the floor also. But all the hard parts are there.
The fender wells was in a bad state (read partially missing), and i need them in place before i replace the floor. So i know where to mount he body sides.
First a made a cardboard template (paper is cheaper than steel).
When i was satisfied with the template i cut it out in steel.
Then i made a new template for the front part, it's a bit more tricky to do since it have a bend in the front part.
I made a hammer form out of a piece of wood, and clamped the steel to it.
Then it was hammer time again, take it slow and easy.
It takes a bit of hammering, and you get some odd shapes like wrinkles, but that's ok in this case since that part will be cut off.
Some old school hammer welding, and the fender well is starting to look good. I will continue with the outer bottom part when i have replaced the floor.
Did the same thing on the other side to. The owner before me had started to replace the lower rocker panel.
After the first body work it was time for some frame repairs, everyone that have worked with 1933 and older Ford frames know that there usually is some rust in the rear where the X member meets the frame. No exception here.
After repairing the X member part it was time for the frame.
First i made the lower frame part out of 3mm mild steel.
I use a two angle iron pieces clamped in a bench wise. And some more hammering (use BIG hammer). if you do a bit at a time going back and forth it's quite easy.
Some more use of cardboard to make a new template.
It takes some fitting, to get the right gaps for welding.
I tacked the parts together, and welded it of the frame to get as good weld as possible.
Remember Penetration is the name of the game.
Before i cut out the bad part, i made another template for the holes, so i could drill the holes in the right place.
With the parts rust proofed, it was time to weld everything together. I grinded part that will be riveted together.
Welded in place, i used some steel bars welded to the frame to prevent it to bend out of shape.
Ok This will end my first post on this new project, next i will fix the front and rear axle.

Toronto teacher on a Jeopardy! winning streak
By Ilya Bañares Staff Reporter
Tues., July 17, 2018
A Toronto teacher is on a three-game winning streak on Jeopardy! and isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
Michelle Cabral, who teaches at St. Mary Catholic School near Queen St. W. and Bathurst St., described the experience as "pretty overwhelming."

"The whole experience has been above and beyond anything I thought it was going to be," Cabral told the Star. "It's something that I've wanted to do for years and years and years, virtually my whole life since I was old enough to do it.
"The fact that it's lasted this long and the fact that I've had such support and amazing messages cheering me on … I didn't think I was going to win."
Cabral, a junior trivia team coach, has won three episodes thus far. In the most recently aired episode, she ran through an entire category by herself.
"I actually needed to put down my buzzer for a second to process what had just happened and then immediately realized, 'Nope, the board's still mine, I have to keep going and pick the next clue!' and immediately picked it back up again," she said.
Here's how contestants get picked for 'Jeopardy!'
Opinion | Public Editor: Jeopardy! headline a case study on need to clearly label opinion content
Alex Trebek rapped Drake lyrics on Jeopardy this week
She taped the first two shows on March 7 and went back to Los Angeles in early April to film the remaining episodes.
"I can't say what the overall total is, but right now — if we're going by the past three days — I have over $46,000 (U.S.)," Cabral said, or around $60,400 in Canadian dollars.
She also described meeting Canadian Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek as a great experience.
"We had just taken the written test and were getting ready for the mock game, and then this hush comes over the room. He walks in, I'm sitting in the back and I'm talking to the person next to me, and then the person on the other side tapped me on the shoulder and said 'Shush' … and I look and I see Alex Trebek," Cabral said.
"I said 'Holy cow!' I didn't say cow."
Cabral said Trebek "really likes people from Canada coming and doing well, with that solidarity and camaraderie."
Other recent Canadian contestants have won big. Last month, Ali Hasan, a teacher at Guildford Park Secondary School in Surrey, B.C., won $90,235 (Canadian). He later lost to Ontario lawyer Jordan Nussbaum.
Cabral's message to the kids? "Don't be afraid to be really passionate about stuff that you like. Don't be afraid to want to learn more about particular things … Don't be afraid of being intelligent and having a voice."
Cabral's fourth episode airs Tuesday evening. Canadian viewers can watch the show on Yes TV at 7:30 p.m.

Sooner or later, security drones will be hovering over major marathons
The view from above.
Jake Becker
The City of Boston had extra security at the Boston Marathon today, with 4,000 uniformed and plainclothes police officers and 100 police dog units lining the 26.2-mile (40.2 km) course—twice as many as last year's event, when two bombs that exploded near the finish line killed three and wounded 260. Low-flying helicopters are keeping watch from above, while a radiation-seeking chopper flies over the course, trying to pick up spikes in radiation levels that weren't there during its initial flyby on Thursday.
But what's missing—at least as far as we know—is a security measure that some experts say will become inevitable in time: drones. "Drones are going to be the standard," said Joseph F. King, a criminal justice professor at Manhattan's John Jay College who has served as chief of the national security section in New York's Department of Homeland Security office.
Sprawling, citywide events such as marathons present a particularly thorny security problem, King told Quartz. "You can't just set up roadblocks and search everybody going to the marathon," he said. "You're talking about a dense population; it's as simple as crowd control. If you put in a drone, you can zero in a camera on a particular individual. The operator can directly contact the local sector sergeant and say, 'move officers here.'"
Boston police commissioner Edward Davis said after last year's tragedy that "drones are a great idea" for a future marathon, though that idea has reportedly since been turned down. Several other municipalities and local law-enforcement agencies are among the many and varied entities that have applied for licenses to operate drones, however—including the Seattle police, the Miami-Dade police, and the Clackamas County sheriff's office in Oregon.
There's much speculation over whether New York Police Department (NYPD), which is charged with protecting the city's annual marathon in November, will turn to drone security. Shortly after last year's marathon, tech site Motherboard called it "an open secret that New York's finest have been eyeing drones as prospective aerial surveillance tools." It cited another report indicating that the NYPD's counterterrorism division has talked to the Federal Aviation Administration about the possibility of using drones. Boosting the speculation, New York's then mayor, Michael Bloomberg, called drone surveillance "scary" but inevitable on his radio program, opining that "you can't keep the tides from coming in."
It remains to be seen whether Bloomberg's successor, Bill de Blasio, will buy into the idea, King said. Though no one wants to see a repeat of the 2013 Boston Marathon disaster, "There are political repercussions of having a spy in the sky—Big Brother, and all that."
Neither the NYPD nor the Boston police had responded at publication time to requests for comment.


I-44 OKC to I-70 East Charging Plan?
Discussion in 'Midwest/Great Lakes' started by reach, Jan 4, 2016.
I-44 Between OKC and I-70 East Charging Plan?
Need advice as to how to travel in my P85D in stretch on I-44 from OKC supercharger and I-70 East with nearest next Supercharger on route Effington. I am going on a longer trip, but this stretch of I-44 that connects I-40 with I-70 is a gap in the Supercharger network.
There is a new supercharger going in at Catoosa, OK (Tulsa), which is in the permit stages and should be installed very soon. You're then about 260 miles from the Independence, MO location.
Tesla has a destination charger at the Candlewood Suites in Joplin, MO, but it's only 40A, so 30 rated miles per hour. Perhaps this might be a place to stay overnight, or you'd have to call them to see if you could spend 2 hours or so here to gain the ~60 miles additional range necessary to make it to Independence. It adds a bit to the drive to go up to I-70 and then a bit southeast from there, but it is what it is.
Eventually, they'll install a SpC at Springfield, MO or so, and that would get you to the St. Charles, MO SpC directly up I-44.
Sadly, Tulsa Supercharger is just in permitting, not even in construction yet.
The OKC to Candlewood Suites in Joplin, MO is pushing my range limit. The P85D only has a maximum rated range of 250 miles or so, so it may not make the trip. Has anyone out there actually taken this trip?
You are recommending going straight north on I-49 from Joplin MO to Independence MO Supercharger and picking up I-70 east there.
The other choice is to continue on I-44 northeast from the Joplin MO Candlewood Suites 40 amp HPWC and drive the next 70 miles or so to the Hotel Vandivort 80 amp HPWC in Springfield and max fill there, and then risk risk going 230 miles on I-44 to the St. Charles SC. Has anyone done this?
Would like to read a response from someone who has actually driven these routes. Have you done it, Flasher Z?
There is a friendly Tesla owner in Bristow, OK with an HPWC find them on PlugShare.
Good advice! I have stopped in Bristow a couple of times and they have an 80 amp.
No I haven't. I've done enough long distance driving to know how to find charging options, but have not driven that route. Good luck in your quest.
Beware that I only got about 18 amps on the HPWC at the Vandivort in Springfield. There is also a new HPWC at the Houllihan's in Springfield, but the leg from SGF to St. Charles Supercharger is not for the faint of heart. I've done it many times (or similar), but in winter it can be daunting...be prepared to be cold, drive slow and draft behind trucks to be sure to make it. It is hilly interstate. It is easier to make the drive from SGF to STL than the other way around due to the altitude change and usually having a tail wind.
If you need to top up along the STL/SGF leg on I-44 there is a HPWC that will give you about 32amps at a hotel in St. James, but you are supposed to be a guest. They were kind enough to let me use it once in the past without being a guest (we bought some St. James Winery wine from the gift shop), but they give priority to guests (not that they have many with Teslas).
Happy to offer specific advice on this route if you'd like, but I think the OKC->Joplin, Joplin->Independence would ultimately be faster (even if a little farther) and a lot safer.
Or, you might possibly consider taking the all Supercharger route. Just mapping out the distances from OKC to St. Charles on Google Maps, the direct route on I-44 all the way is 504 miles, but is going to be extra hours of slow charging. Going to Joplin and then up to Independence and then East to St. Charles is 599 miles. Taking the all Supercharger route North to Wichita, Topeka, and then East is 576 miles. So that's actually shorter than going to Joplin, isn't a bad distance difference from the completely direct route, and the drive will be easy and worry-free.
If the HPWC in the Vandivort Hotel is listed in the Tesla directory as 80 amps, how is is possible you only got 18 amps? Will you please reconfirm this? Perhaps you meant 18 kW, which is normal (220 volts and 80 amps) gives about 18 kiloWatts. This yields approximately 50 miles of range per hour of charging. Someone needs to call the Vandivort and say its installation needs re-doing if its HPWC is only delivering 20 percent of what it should.
Nope, 18 amps. I posted a picture on the Plugshare web site of my Tesla app while charging there. There are lots of the Destination chargers that say "up to 80 amps", but don't really have that. The one in St. James says up to 40 amps, but is only 32. I'm curious about the one at the Vandivort as well. One possiblity is that whomever set up the HPWC put it on a 100amp circuit, but then didn't properly set the dip switches inside the HPWC.
I can go back there one day, maybe, and check it out and see if I can help them trouble shoot, but I'm on Holiday next week and don't anticipate having time this week.
That's what I thought, too - but 18 wouldn't match any of the DIP switch settings. If you find out, let us know. If you use VisibleTesla (or other API access tools), you might let us know what pilot current is reported too.
I have had too many issues and quit using VisibleTesla and am not smart enough for the other API programs! I'll try to report back in a new thread if/when I have a chance to go by there.
Of note, when I looked on Plugshare last night, there are a bunch of new HPWC Destination chargers in Springfield now...I can think of 9 off the top of my head now. Some are extremely strict about restricting to hotel guests/patrons, others don't appear to be quite as strict.
Just had a thought regarding the Vandivort.... It was a valet kid who plugged me in, I wasn't around when he did it and it was the first time he'd seen the Tesla. I wonder if the charging cable was not fully seated and the car limited the amperage. I've had that happen before when not completely plugged (that flashing yellow LED on the charge port). I was thinking that was usually limited to 13 amps, but maybe it's 18? Does that sound right to anyone?
Could be, but that's 16A. Maybe it was misread on the app given the font?
Just rechecked, it was 16 amps...that must be it!
Indeed, that's it. And the "/80A" means 80A pilot current, so it should be good.


It looks like the sun is here to stay for a while. I have been very busy measuring and fitting blinds in Haverhill and the surrounding areas. Our summer fabrics are lovely for Roman Blinds and Curtains with big bold prints. We have a large choice of colours on our blackout blinds to help keep the sun at bay on these beautiful mornings (especially for the kids rooms).
I have not been on the market much these holidays as I am spending time with my family and am busy fitting. I try to do the market every other week if I can. If you come to see me and I am not there, please remember you can contact me on my home number 01440 704371 or 07766130149. If I am unavailable please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. You can also find me on Facebook.

GROOVY, BABY!
Gabrielle Union's Long, High Ponytail Is a Whole '70s Mood
The '70s may be long gone, but its hairstyles still live on nearly 42 years later.
By Sara Miranda
If Gabrielle Union's mission was to pay homage to the 1970s with her lengthy high ponytail, then the mission was accomplished. The actor and beauty entrepreneur shared several photos of the throwback hairstyle in a seven-part Instagram carousel on November 9.
This hairstyle hearkens back to the decade marked by big hair, opulent patterns, and bell-bottom pants for three reasons: each strand of hair appears to be subtly textured, the height of Union's ponytail sits at the crown of her head, and the rest of her hair is slicked back. But there's more to this look that screams 1970s style. Union's flowing dress comprised of black and white stripes, a high collar, and flared sleeves are evocative of the relaxed nature of '70s fashion.
According to her Instagram caption, Union seemed to have gotten all decked out in a full-on '70s ensemble for the Brand Wade Union Summit alongside daughter Kaavia and husband Dwayne Wade.
The hair and style trends of the '70s may have been the overall inspiration for this look, but the height of the high ponytail looks very similar to Ariana Grande's signature high pony. However, it's not as high as Ari's (no one's volume could compete with hers).
It comes as no surprise that Union and her hairstylist (we're not sure who created this look) sought inspiration from the hairstyles of the '70s. Hairstyles from this era were trending all over TikTok in January of 2021, including one video, in particular, created by Rose van Rijn on how to create bouncy curls similar to actress Farah Fawcett's voluminous curls. The '70s may have reached their end 42 years ago, but, as evidenced by Union and the Internet, the beauty and style of the decade still live on today.

Whether having graduated with a BA in Art History after engaging a diverse undergraduate curriculum or a member of the proud ranks of Ph.D. recipients who dedicated years to rigorous and focused study, our department alumni consistently distinguish themselves in an incredible range of chosen fields and careers. We're proud to host their stories, accomplishments, and experiences here, as remarkable and varied as the education they received in the UCLA Department of Art History.
Tell us a bit about your background – where were you born and raised? How did you decide to attend UCLA?
I was born in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, just east of Hollywood, and went to high school in Beverly Hills. I'm a third-generation Bruin, so UCLA runs in my blood; my grandfather worked construction on Royce Hall to subsidize his tuition costs. I was initially reticent about attending college so close to home, but UCLA's relative affordability and academic resources were a real draw.
Why did you decide to study Art History?
I spent my first two and a half years of college as a Philosophy major; I've always been attracted to big-picture thinking. UCLA's analytic program provided me with an indispensable theoretical framework, but I craved exposure to the Continental philosophy that wasn't being taught. I began to take classes in Art History, German, Comparative Literature, and Anthropology, and eventually traveled to Berlin to study Hegel. When I returned, I took Professor Kwon's class on contemporary art. It introduced me to a wide range of essential artists, theories, and texts. I had never felt so intellectually engaged before. Art history became a space where I could explore big ideas—the ideas that great artists were addressing in their practices. The literary quality and interdisciplinary nature of great art historical writing was a significant catalyst in my decision to switch majors, and continues to fuel my passion for the field.
Ultimately it was Verlena Johnson, then the Student Affairs Officer, who suggested I become an Art History major rather than a minor. I was working at the Hammer Museum and editing Graphite, UCLA and the Hammer's annual interdisciplinary journal of the arts, and getting immeasurable academic and extracurricular fulfillment from art. I am indebted to Verlena and all the art history professors who affirmed that I made the right choice.
Can you tell us a bit about the faculty you studied with at UCLA?
I could not talk about my experience in the Art History program, or indeed my academic undergraduate experience, without thanking Professor Steven Nelson. Professor Nelson agreed to serve as my senior honors thesis advisor, no more than ten minutes after meeting me—and during that time introduced me to the work of Rotimi Fani-Kayode, the artist I studied for my project. His tireless support—countless hours spent editing, discussing the work, and sharing valuable advice—has been truly indispensable. He continued to champion my research well after graduation, introducing me to Transition Magazine's Managing Editor, who agreed to review my essay for publication. To top it off, he may be the only professor I've ever had who can pack a large lecture hall at 9am on a Friday and make every tired student in it laugh!
I would also like to acknowledge and thank Professor Baker, whose seminar on Picasso was a high point of my academic career. Professor Baker's eye-opening insight and unsurpassed prose were inspiring. He encouraged my interest in the philosophical, helping me complete a mini-thesis on the Nietzschean nature of Picasso's first collage. I also relished the opportunity to discuss the work intimately with other students, a rarity at a big university like UCLA.
About five months after graduating, Professor Kwon introduced me to Dorothee Perret, the founder of Paris, LA magazine and its parent press, DoPe Press. She hired me to write for the magazine, and eventually I became Associate Editor, collaborating on the Fall 2015 Art and Education issue. I also copy edit editioned artist books and catalogues for DoPe Press. By referral of Jonathan Griffin, a Contributing Editor at Frieze, I began to write for Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles, and was asked to co-edit the second and third issues of the magazine by its founder, Lindsay Preston Zappas. Between April and October 2015, I wrote more than 25 reviews for publications such as Apollo, Art in America, Flash Art, Frieze, and SFAQ. In October 2015 I was selected to be the new Assistant Editor for Frieze. I now help Co-editor Dan Fox manage the magazine's operations in North, Central, and South America from its New York office. Also in October 2015, my UCLA Art History senior honors thesis was published in Transition, a peer-reviewed scholarly magazine published by Harvard University's Hutchins Center for African and African American Research.
Please share some of your upcoming plans, projects, and publications.
In addition to my work at Frieze, I hope to continue writing art criticism and other projects. Hopefully this will include fiction and poetry, a passion I've long indulged privately; a short story I wrote was featured in the most recent issue of Hello Mr. Although I'm now New York based, I plan to maintain my ties to Los Angeles and write about the arts more broadly in the various places I visit, both as an editor for Frieze and as a freelance writer.

Bexley 07-08-08 Artist Frances Chapman chosen as one of the winners in the Sunday Times watercolour comp.
AN ARTIST has won the chance to have her work intricate painting displayed in a central London exhibition.
Frances Chapman, of Rectory Lane, Sidcup, was one of 86 finalists in a national newspaper's watercolour competition whose work will be displayed in the Bankside Gallery from September 10 to 21. The 41-year-old beat 1,200 other entries by painting an imaginary landscape scene called Skewbald, made up of thousands of tiny dots. The artist said: "It is very time consuming. This one probably took me four or five months to complete. I get through about two brushes every day."
Her painting will be auctioned at the end of the exhibition and is currently going for £645.
