Social justice is a concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society. This is measured by the explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity, and social privileges. In Western as well as in older Asian cultures, the concept of social justice has often referred to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society.[1][2][3] In the current global grassroots movements for social justice, the emphasis has been on the breaking of barriers for social mobility, the creation of safety nets and economic justice.[4][5][6][7][8]
Social justice assigns rights and duties in the institutions of society, which enables people to receive the basic benefits and burdens of cooperation. The relevant institutions often include taxation, social insurance, public health, public school, public services, labor law and regulation of markets, to ensure fair distribution of wealth, and equal opportunity.[9]
Interpretations that relate justice to a reciprocal relationship to society are mediated by differences in cultural traditions, some of which emphasize the individual responsibility toward society and others the equilibrium between access to power and its responsible use.[10] Hence, social justice is invoked today while reinterpreting historical figures such as Bartolomé de las Casas, in philosophical debates about differences among human beings, in efforts for gender, racial and social equality, for advocating justice for migrants, prisoners, the environment, and the physically and developmentally disabled.[11][12][13]
While the concept of social justice can be traced through the theology of Augustine of Hippo and the philosophy of Thomas Paine, the term "social justice" became used explicitly in the 1780s. A Jesuit priest named Luigi Taparelli is typically credited with coining the term, and it spread during the revolutions of 1848 with the work of Antonio Rosmini-Serbati.[2][14][15] However, recent research has proved that the use of the expression "social justice" is older (even before the 19th century).[16] For example, in Anglo-America, the term appears in The Federalist Papers, No. 7: "We have observed the disposition to retaliation excited in Connecticut in consequence of the enormities perpetrated by the Legislature of Rhode Island; and we reasonably infer that, in similar cases, under other circumstances, a war, not of parchment, but of the sword, would chastise such atrocious breaches of moral obligation and social justice."
In the late industrial revolution, progressive American legal scholars began to use the term more, particularly Louis Brandeis and Roscoe Pound. From the early 20th century it was also embedded in international law and institutions; the preamble to establish the International Labour Organization recalled that "universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice." In the later 20th century, social justice was made central to the philosophy of the social contract, primarily by John Rawls in A Theory of Justice (1971). In 1993, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action treats social justice as a purpose of human rights education.[17][18]
Some authors such as Friedrich Hayek criticize the concept of social justice, arguing the lack of objective, accepted moral standard; and that while there is a legal definition of what is just and equitable "there is no test of what is socially unjust", and further that social justice is often used for the reallocation of resources based on an arbitrary standard which may in fact be inequitable or unjust.
The different concepts of justice, as discussed in ancient Western philosophy, were typically centered upon the community.
Plato wrote in The Republic that it would be an ideal state that "every member of the community must be assigned to the class for which he finds himself best fitted."[19] In an article for J.N.V University, author D.R. Bhandari says, "Justice is, for Plato, at once a part of human virtue and the bond, which joins man together in society. It is the identical quality that makes good and social. Justice is an order and duty of the parts of the soul, it is to the soul as health is to the body. Plato says that justice is not mere strength, but it is a harmonious strength. Justice is not the right of the stronger but the effective harmony of the whole. All moral conceptions revolve about the good of the whole-individual as well as social".[20]
Plato believed rights existed only between free people, and the law should take "account in the first instance of relations of inequality in which individuals are treated in proportion to their worth and only secondarily of relations of equality." Reflecting this time when slavery and subjugation of women was typical, ancient views of justice tended to reflect the rigid class systems that still prevailed. On the other hand, for the privileged groups, strong concepts of fairness and the community existed. Distributive justice was said by Aristotle to require that people were distributed goods and assets according to their merit.[21]
Socrates (through Plato's dialogue Crito) is attributed with developing the idea of a social contract, whereby people ought to follow the rules of a society, and accept its burdens because they have accepted its benefits.[22] During the Middle Ages, religious scholars particularly, such as Thomas Aquinas continued discussion of justice in various ways, but ultimately connected being a good citizen to the purpose of serving God.
After the Renaissance and Reformation, the modern concept of social justice, as developing human potential, began to emerge through the work of a series of authors. Baruch Spinoza in On the Improvement of the Understanding (1677) contended that the one true aim of life should be to acquire "a human character much more stable than [one's] own", and to achieve this "pitch of perfection... The chief good is that he should arrive, together with other individuals if possible, at the possession of the aforesaid character."[23] During the enlightenment and responding to the French and American Revolutions, Thomas Paine similarly wrote in The Rights of Man (1792) society should give "genius a fair and universal chance" and so "the construction of government ought to be such as to bring forward... all that extent of capacity which never fails to appear in revolutions."[24]
Although there is no certainty about the first use of the term "social justice", early sources can be found in Europe in the 18th century.[25] Some references to the use of the expression are in articles of journals aligned with the spirit of the Enlightenment, in which social justice is described as an obligation of the monarch;[26][27] also the term is present in books written by Catholic Italian theologians, notably members of the Society of Jesus.[28] Thus, according to this sources and the context, social justice was another term for "the justice of society", the justice that rules the relations among individuals in society, without any mention to socio-economic equity or human dignity.[25]
The usage of the term started to become more frequent by Catholic thinkers from the 1840s, including the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in Civiltà Cattolica, based on the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. He argued that rival capitalist and socialist theories, based on subjective Cartesian thinking, undermined the unity of society present in Thomistic metaphysics as neither were sufficiently concerned with moral philosophy. Writing in 1861, the influential British philosopher and economist, John Stuart Mill stated in Utilitarianism his view that "Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely. This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice; towards which all institutions, and the efforts of all virtuous citizens, should be made in the utmost degree to converge."[29]
In the later 19th and early 20th century, social justice became an important theme in American political and legal philosophy, particularly in the work of John Dewey, Roscoe Pound and Louis Brandeis. One of the prime concerns was the Lochner era decisions of the US Supreme Court to strike down legislation passed by state governments and the Federal government for social and economic improvement, such as the eight-hour day or the right to join a trade union. After the First World War, the founding document of the International Labour Organization took up the same terminology in its preamble, stating that "peace can be established only if it is based on social justice". From this point, the discussion of social justice entered into mainstream legal and academic discourse.
Thus, in 1931, the Pope Pius XI stated the expression for the first time in the Catholic Social Teaching in the encyclical Quadragesimo Anno. Then again in Divini Redepmtoris, the Church pointed out that the realisation of social justice relied on the promotion of the dignity of human person.[30] The same year, and because of the documented influence of Divini Redemptoris in its drafters,[31] the Constitution of Ireland was the first one to establish the term as a principle of the economy in the State, and then other countries around the world did the same throughout the 20th century, even in Socialist regimes such as the Cuban Constitution in 1976.[25]
In the late 20th century, a number of liberal and conservative thinkers, notably Friedrich von Hayek rejected the concept by stating that it did not mean anything, or meant too many things.[32] However the concept remained highly influential, particularly with its promotion by philosophers such as John Rawls. Even though the meaning of social justice varies, at least three common elements can be identified in the contemporary theories about it: a duty of the State to distribute certain vital means (such as economic, social, and cultural rights), the protection of human dignity, and affirmative actions to promote equal opportunities for everybody.[25]
Contemporary theory
Hunter Lewis' work promoting natural healthcare and sustainable economies advocates for conservation as a key premise in social justice. His manifesto on sustainability ties the continued thriving of human life to real conditions, the environment supporting that life, and associates injustice with the detrimental effects of unintended consequences of human actions. Quoting classical Greek thinkers like Epicurus on the good of pursuing happiness, Hunter also cites ornithologist, naturalist, and philosopher Alexander Skutch in his book Moral Foundations:
Pope Benedict XVI cites Teilhard de Chardin in a vision of the cosmos as a 'living host'[34] embracing an understanding of ecology that includes humanity's relationship to others, that pollution affects not just the natural world but interpersonal relations as well. Cosmic harmony, justice and peace are closely interrelated:
In The Quest for Cosmic Justice, Thomas Sowell writes that seeking utopia, while admirable, may have disastrous effects if done without strong consideration of the economic underpinnings that support contemporary society.[36]
Political philosopher John Rawls draws on the utilitarian insights of Bentham and Mill, the social contract ideas of John Locke, and the categorical imperative ideas of Kant. His first statement of principle was made in A Theory of Justice where he proposed that, "Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others."[37] A deontological proposition that echoes Kant in framing the moral good of justice in absolutist terms. His views are definitively restated in Political Liberalism where society is seen "as a fair system of co-operation over time, from one generation to the next".[38]
All societies have a basic structure of social, economic, and political institutions, both formal and informal. In testing how well these elements fit and work together, Rawls based a key test of legitimacy on the theories of social contract. To determine whether any particular system of collectively enforced social arrangements is legitimate, he argued that one must look for agreement by the people who are subject to it, but not necessarily to an objective notion of justice based on coherent ideological grounding. Obviously, not every citizen can be asked to participate in a poll to determine his or her consent to every proposal in which some degree of coercion is involved, so one has to assume that all citizens are reasonable. Rawls constructed an argument for a two-stage process to determine a citizen's hypothetical agreement:
The citizen agrees to be represented by X for certain purposes, and, to that extent, X holds these powers as a trustee for the citizen.
X agrees that enforcement in a particular social context is legitimate. The citizen, therefore, is bound by this decision because it is the function of the trustee to represent the citizen in this way.
This applies to one person who represents a small group (e.g., the organiser of a social event setting a dress code) as equally as it does to national governments, which are ultimate trustees, holding representative powers for the benefit of all citizens within their territorial boundaries. Governments that fail to provide for welfare of their citizens according to the principles of justice are not legitimate. To emphasise the general principle that justice should rise from the people and not be dictated by the law-making powers of governments, Rawls asserted that, "There is ... a general presumption against imposing legal and other restrictions on conduct without sufficient reason. But this presumption creates no special priority for any particular liberty."[39] This is support for an unranked set of liberties that reasonable citizens in all states should respect and uphold — to some extent, the list proposed by Rawls matches the normative human rights that have international recognition and direct enforcement in some nation states where the citizens need encouragement to act in a way that fixes a greater degree of equality of outcome. According to Rawls, the basic liberties that every good society should guarantee are:
Freedom of thought;
Liberty of conscience as it affects social relationships on the grounds of religion, philosophy, and morality;
Political liberties (e.g., representative democratic institutions, freedom of speech and the press, and freedom of assembly);
Freedom of association;
Freedoms necessary for the liberty and integrity of the person (namely: freedom from slavery, freedom of movement and a reasonable degree of freedom to choose one's occupation); and
Rights and liberties covered by the rule of law.
Thomas Pogge's arguments pertain to a standard of social justice that creates human rights deficits. He assigns responsibility to those who actively cooperate in designing or imposing the social institution, that the order is foreseeable as harming the global poor and is reasonably avoidable. Pogge argues that social institutions have a negative duty to not harm the poor.[40][41]
Pogge speaks of "institutional cosmopolitanism" and assigns responsibility to institutional schemes[42] for deficits of human rights. An example given is slavery and third parties. A third party should not recognize or enforce slavery. The institutional order should be held responsible only for deprivations of human rights that it establishes or authorizes. The current institutional design, he says, systematically harms developing economies by enabling corporate tax evasion,[43] illicit financial flows, corruption, trafficking of people and weapons. Joshua Cohen disputes his claims based on the fact that some poor countries have done well with the current institutional design.[44] Elizabeth Kahn argues that some of these responsibilities should apply globally.[45]
The United Nations' 2006 document Social Justice in an Open World: The Role of the United Nations, states that "Social justice may be broadly understood as the fair and compassionate distribution of the fruits of economic growth ..."[46] []
The term "social justice" was seen by the U.N. "as a substitute for the protection of human rights [and] first appeared in United Nations texts during the second half of the 1960s. At the initiative of the Soviet Union, and with the support of developing countries, the term was used in the Declaration on Social Progress and Development, adopted in 1969."[46] []
The same document reports, "From the comprehensive global perspective shaped by the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, neglect of the pursuit of social justice in all its dimensions translates into de facto acceptance of a future marred by violence, repression and chaos."[46] [] The report concludes, "Social justice is not possible without strong and coherent redistributive policies conceived and implemented by public agencies."[46] []
The same UN document offers a concise history: "[T]he notion of social justice is relatively new. None of history's great philosophers—not Plato or Aristotle, or Confucius or Averroes, or even Rousseau or Kant—saw the need to consider justice or the redress of injustices from a social perspective. The concept first surfaced in Western thought and political language in the wake of the industrial revolution and the parallel development of the socialist doctrine. It emerged as an expression of protest against what was perceived as the capitalist exploitation of labour and as a focal point for the development of measures to improve the human condition. It was born as a revolutionary slogan embodying the ideals of progress and fraternity. Following the revolutions that shook Europe in the mid-1800s, social justice became a rallying cry for progressive thinkers and political activists.... By the mid-twentieth century, the concept of social justice had become central to the ideologies and programmes of virtually all the leftist and centrist political parties around the world ..."[46] []
Religious perspectives
The present-day Jāti hierarchy is undergoing changes for a variety of reasons including 'social justice', which is a politically popular stance in democratic India. Institutionalized affirmative action has promoted this. The disparity and wide inequalities in social behaviour of the jātis – exclusive, endogamous communities centred on traditional occupations – has led to various reform movements in Hinduism. While legally outlawed, the caste system remains strong in practice.[47]
In Muslim history, Islamic governance has often been associated with social justice. Establishment of social justice was one of the motivating factors of the Abbasid revolt against the Umayyads.[48] The Shi'a believe that the return of the Mahdi will herald in "the messianic age of justice" and the Mahdi along with the Isa (Jesus) will end plunder, torture, oppression and discrimination.[49]
For the Muslim Brotherhood the implementation of social justice would require the rejection of consumerism and communism. The Brotherhood strongly affirmed the right to private property as well as differences in personal wealth due to factors such as hard work. However, the Brotherhood held Muslims had an obligation to assist those Muslims in need. It held that zakat (alms-giving) was not voluntary charity, but rather the poor had the right to assistance from the more fortunate.[50] Most Islamic governments therefore enforce the zakat through taxes.
In To Heal a Fractured World: The Ethics of Responsibility, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks states that social justice has a central place in Judaism. One of Judaism's most distinctive and challenging ideas is its ethics of responsibility reflected in the concepts of simcha ("gladness" or "joy"), tzedakah ("the religious obligation to perform charity and philanthropic acts"), chesed ("deeds of kindness"), and tikkun olam ("repairing the world").
From its founding, Methodism was a Christian social justice movement. Under John Wesley's direction, Methodists became leaders in many social justice issues of the day, including the prison reform and abolition movements. Wesley himself was among the first to preach for slaves rights attracting significant opposition.[51][52][53]
Today, social justice plays a major role in the United Methodist Church. The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church says, "We hold governments responsible for the protection of the rights of the people to free and fair elections and to the freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, communications media, and petition for redress of grievances without fear of reprisal; to the right to privacy; and to the guarantee of the rights to adequate food, clothing, shelter, education, and health care."[54] The United Methodist Church also teaches population control as part of its doctrine.[55]
Catholic social teaching consists of those aspects of Roman Catholic doctrine which relate to matters dealing with the respect of the individual human life. A distinctive feature of Catholic social doctrine is its concern for the poorest and most vulnerable members of society. Two of the seven key areas[56] of "Catholic social teaching" are pertinent to social justice:
Life and dignity of the human person: The foundational principle of all "Catholic Social Teaching" is the sanctity of all human life and the inherent dignity of every human person, from conception to natural death. Human life must be valued above all material possessions.
Preferential option for the poor and vulnerable: Catholics believe Jesus taught that on the Day of Judgement God will ask what each person did to help the poor and needy: "Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."[57] The Catholic Church believes that through words, prayers and deeds one must show solidarity with, and compassion for, the poor. The moral test of any society is "how it treats its most vulnerable members. The poor have the most urgent moral claim on the conscience of the nation. People are called to look at public policy decisions in terms of how they affect the poor."[58]
Even before it was propounded in the Catholic social doctrine, social justice appeared regularly in the history of the Catholic Church:
Pope Leo XIII, who studied under Taparelli, published in 1891 the encyclical Rerum novarum (On the Condition of the Working Classes; lit. "On new things"), rejecting both socialism and capitalism, while defending labor unions and private property. He stated that society should be based on cooperation and not class conflict and competition. In this document, Leo set out the Catholic Church's response to the social instability and labor conflict that had arisen in the wake of industrialization and had led to the rise of socialism. The Pope advocated that the role of the State was to promote social justice through the protection of rights, while the Church must speak out on social issues in order to teach correct social principles and ensure class harmony.
The encyclical Quadragesimo anno (On Reconstruction of the Social Order, literally "in the fortieth year") of 1931 by Pope Pius XI, encourages a living wage,[59] subsidiarity, and advocates that social justice is a personal virtue as well as an attribute of the social order, saying that society can be just only if individuals and institutions are just.
Pope John Paul II added much to the corpus of the Catholic social teaching, penning three encyclicals which focus on issues such as economics, politics, geo-political situations, ownership of the means of production, private property and the "social mortgage", and private property. The encyclicals Laborem exercens, Sollicitudo rei socialis, and Centesimus annus are just a small portion of his overall contribution to Catholic social justice. Pope John Paul II was a strong advocate of justice and human rights, and spoke forcefully for the poor. He addresses issues such as the problems that technology can present should it be misused, and admits a fear that the "progress" of the world is not true progress at all, if it should denigrate the value of the human person. He argued in Centesimus annus that private property, markets, and honest labor were the keys to alleviating the miseries of the poor and to enabling a life that can express the fullness of the human person.
Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Deus caritas est ("God is Love") of 2006 claims that justice is the defining concern of the state and the central concern of politics, and not of the church, which has charity as its central social concern. It said that the laity has the specific responsibility of pursuing social justice in civil society and that the church's active role in social justice should be to inform the debate, using reason and natural law, and also by providing moral and spiritual formation for those involved in politics.
The official Catholic doctrine on social justice can be found in the book Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, published in 2004 and updated in 2006, by the Pontifical Council Iustitia et Pax.
The Catechism (§ 1928–1948) contain more detail of the Church's view of social justice.[60]
The Chinese concept of Tian Ming has occasionally been perceived as an expression of social justice.[61] Through it, the deposition of unfair rulers is justified in that civic dissatisfaction and economical disasters is perceived as Heaven withdrawing its favor from the Emperor. A successful rebellion is considered definite proof that the Emperor is unfit to rule.
Social justice movements
Social justice is also a concept that is used to describe the movement towards a socially just world, e.g., the Global Justice Movement. In this context, social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality, and can be defined as "the way in which human rights are manifested in the everyday lives of people at every level of society".[62]
A number of movements are working to achieve social justice in society. These movements are working toward the realization of a world where all members of a society, regardless of background or procedural justice, have basic human rights and equal access to the benefits of their society.[63]
Liberation theology[64] is a movement in Christian theology which conveys the teachings of Jesus Christ in terms of a liberation from unjust economic, political, or social conditions. It has been described by proponents as "an interpretation of Christian faith through the poor's suffering, their struggle and hope, and a critique of society and the Catholic faith and Christianity through the eyes of the poor",[65] and by detractors as Christianity perverted by Marxism and Communism.[66]
Although liberation theology has grown into an international and inter-denominational movement, it began as a movement within the Catholic Church in Latin America in the 1950s–1960s. It arose principally as a moral reaction to the poverty caused by social injustice in that region.[67] It achieved prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. The term was coined by the Peruvian priest, Gustavo Gutiérrez, who wrote one of the movement's most famous books, A Theology of Liberation (1971). According to Sarah Kleeb, "Marx would surely take issue," she writes, "with the appropriation of his works in a religious context...there is no way to reconcile Marx's views of religion with those of Gutierrez, they are simply incompatible. Despite this, in terms of their understanding of the necessity of a just and righteous world, and the nearly inevitable obstructions along such a path, the two have much in common; and, particularly in the first edition of [A Theology of Liberation], the use of Marxian theory is quite evident."[68]
Other noted exponents are Leonardo Boff of Brazil, Carlos Mugica of Argentina, Jon Sobrino of El Salvador, and Juan Luis Segundo of Uruguay.[69][70]
Social justice has more recently made its way into the field of bioethics. Discussion involves topics such as affordable access to health care, especially for low income households and families. The discussion also raises questions such as whether society should bear healthcare costs for low income families, and whether the global marketplace is the best way to distribute healthcare. Ruth Faden of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and Madison Powers of Georgetown University focus their analysis of social justice on which inequalities matter the most. They develop a social justice theory that answers some of these questions in concrete settings.
Social injustices occur when there is a preventable difference in health states among a population of people. These social injustices take the form of health inequities when negative health states such as malnourishment, and infectious diseases are more prevalent in impoverished nations.[71] These negative health states can often be prevented by providing social and economic structures such as primary healthcare which ensures the general population has equal access to health care services regardless of income level, gender, education or any other stratifying factors. Integrating social justice with health inherently reflects the social determinants of health model without discounting the role of the bio-medical model.[72]
The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action affirm that "Human rights education should include peace, democracy, development and social justice, as set forth in international and regional human rights instruments, in order to achieve common understanding and awareness with a view to strengthening universal commitment to human rights."[73]
Social justice principles are embedded in the larger environmental movement. The third principle of The Earth Charter [95] is Social and economic justice, which is described as seeking to 1) Eradicate poverty as an ethical, social, and environmental imperative 2) Ensure that economic activities and institutions at all levels promote human development in an equitable and sustainable manner 3) Affirm gender equality and equity as prerequisites to sustainable development and ensure universal access to education, health care, and economic opportunity, and 4) Uphold the right of all, without discrimination, to a natural and social environment supportive of human dignity, bodily health, and spiritual well-being, with special attention to the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities.[74]
The Climate Justice and Environmental Justice movements also incorporate social justice principles, ideas, and practices. Climate justice and environmental justice, as movements within the larger ecological and environmental movement, each incorporate social justice in a particular way. Climate justice includes concern for social justice pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions,[75] climate-induced environmental displacement,[76] as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation. Environmental justice includes concern for social justice pertaining to either environmental benefits[77] or environmental pollution[78] based on their equitable distribution across communities of color, communities of various socio/economic stratification, or any other barriers to justice.
Many authors criticize the idea that there exists an objective standard of social justice. Moral relativists deny that there is any kind of objective standard for justice in general. Non-cognitivists, moral skeptics, moral nihilists, and most logical positivists deny the epistemic possibility of objective notions of justice. Political realists believe that any ideal of social justice is ultimately a mere justification for the status quo.
Many other people accept some of the basic principles of social justice, such as the idea that all human beings have a basic level of value, but disagree with the elaborate conclusions that may or may not follow from this. One example is the statement by H. G. Wells that all people are "equally entitled to the respect of their fellowmen."[79]
Friedrich Hayek of the Austrian School of economics rejects the very idea of social justice as meaningless, religious, self-contradictory, and ideological, believing that to realize any degree of social justice is unfeasible, and that the attempt to do so must destroy all liberty:
Ben O'Neill of the University of New South Wales argues that, for proponents of "social justice":[81]

Ieva Dubova
Ieva Dubova is a Latvian pianist and composer known for her experimental, new age approach to classical piano music. Inspired by nature, sensuality, and memories from her Baltic homeland, Dubova's neo-classical compositions are infused with cinematic melodies and digital ambient textures that capture the spirit of childhood imagination, evoke the beauty of nature, and transcend the temporal.
Originally from Cesis, now based in London, Dubova has performed across Europe, held multiple radio appearances, and collaborated with artists from multiple disciplines. In 2018 she worked on 'Fairy Tales for Four Hands', an album inspired by iconic fairy tales, with award-winning pianist Joe Howson and Latvian composer Georgs Pelēcis. More recently, she worked with poet Jane Liddle King to develop 'Liszt Affair', an all-female immersive piano music experience in London, and is currently working on combining modern dance with her music in collaboration with choreographer Anita Garcia Grosse.
Dubova's upcoming solo debut album 'Reverie', a nostalgic exploration into nature and memory, features a number of original compositions that reflect the artist's life and past. From the haunting depth of 'Åvu Åvu', with its ethereal film score nuance, to the playful brightness of 'Innocence' offset by a gentle drum march and childlike sense of wonder, the experimental nature of Dubova's sound sits in the neo-classical realm.
Dubova's creative influences as a composer are external and tactile, whereas her creative process remains self-reflective and deeply internal: "For me, music is the way to show the world my feelings, to communicate with them, but stay intimate. I'm influenced by Baltic folk music, Bach and nature. Sensual things like smells, feeling the wind. I write things without an outline."
The Latvian pianist has described the process of making music as a safe space that allows her to disengage from the world and immerse herself in the joy of creation. Making 'Reverie' particularly enabled this sense of creative flow, with Dubova stating that the album "feels like who [she is]."
Dubova draws inspiration from a wide selection of music, from folk to baroque to modern, as well as classical composers such as Avro Part, Peteris Vasks and Erik Satie. Folk music holds particular influence - Dubova is currently developing a British-Latvian folk music songbook for amateur practitioners in collaboration with British artist Jude Cowan Montague, which draws on original research into folk practices of England and Latvia, based on themes derived from traditions in both countries as well as agriculture, seasons, rituals, religion and nature.
A graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music, Dubova's approach to creation is modern and highly collaborative, having worked with a number of established organisations and leading artists throughout her career. Recently, she worked with Company Concentric and performed at International Youth Arts Festival in London.
During the lockdown period, Dubova has brought her musical gifts and expertise to her digital community over a number of months, during which time she performed home concerts and led an online interview series 'Piano Q&A' with prominent musicians including Penelope Roskell (The Complete Pianist), Nicolas Sideris (Musica Ferrum) and Marcel Zidani (Hey Presto).
Her upcoming solo debut album, 'Reverie', will be released on 17th June 2020. Follow Ieva Dubova for new music and updates.

Today in the classroom, Larry Goins instructs us about how he goes to eBay and Craigslist to search and list real estate investment deals.
Larry Goins lets us in on what keywords he searches for and a little about how he lists his properties.
Mike: Welcome back to the FlipNerd REI Classroom, where experts from across the real estate investing industry teach you quick lessons to take your business to the next level. And now, let's meet today's expert host.
Larry: Hey, this is Larry Goins and welcome to today's episode of REI Classroom. I'm really excited today because I'm going to talk to you about Craigslist and eBay and maybe even a couple of other websites to find properties and market your properties as well.
Then, I sort the properties by price, lowest to highest, and I also read out and weed out for the ones I am bidding on a down payment. I walk the cash sales. I also want to weed out the ones where they're going to give me a quit claim deed that is subject to back taxes or liens and judgments. This is very, very important for one to know, guys.
Now, when you're selling your properties on eBay, here is what you do. You post your property. I don't care if it's a wholesale or a seller finance deal. I love to sell my seller finance deals on eBay because I have people bid on the down payment. So you can post a property on eBay and you say you are bidding on the down payment and the purchase price is X.
For example, I might have a property I am selling for $50,000, but they're bidding on the down payment and I'm making a no reserve auction and I start my bidding at $1. That means if one person bids and they bid $1, then they bought my house, but they bought it for USD 50,000. But don't worry; you don't have to worry about that. The least amount I've ever gotten down is $1,525.
So let's just say that they are bidding on the down payment, then what I do is I combine eBay and Craigslist. I go out and post my property on Craigslist, but instead of a link back to my website, I put a link over to eBay. Now, what happens is I've got people on Craigslist going over to eBay and they're bidding against each other to buy my property. Is that great or what? So I hope you've enjoyed today's tip from REI Classroom. I'm Larry Goins and see you on the next one.

Q: How to add ripple effect to PhysicalModel in flutter I was trying to create a login button, which will be animated on pressing on it. But while clicking on the button( on the PhysicalModel), a ripple effect is shown only on the Login text, not entirely on the physical model. How to add ripples to PhysicalModel or remove the ripple effect from MaterialButton ?
PhysicalModel(
            color: Colors.teal,
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50.0),
            child: MaterialButton(
                   key: _globalKey,
                   child: Text("Login"),
                   onPressed: () {
                        setState(() {
                             if (_state == 0) {
                                    animateButton();
                             }
                        });
                   },
                   elevation: 4.0,
                   minWidth: _width,
                   height: 20.0,
            ),
)

A: If you want to remove the splash color of the MaterialButton just change these colors to transparent.
  MaterialButton(
    splashColor: Colors.transparent,
    highlightColor: Colors.transparent,

If you want ripple effect for your PhysicalModel:
    PhysicalModel(
                  color: Colors.teal,
                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50.0),
                  child: RawMaterialButton(
                    shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50.0)),
                    padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 15.0, horizontal: 30.0),
                    materialTapTargetSize: MaterialTapTargetSize.shrinkWrap,
                    child: Text("Login"),
                    onPressed: () {
                      setState(() {});
                    },
                    elevation: 4.0,
                  ),
                )

A: Here is my solution, you can simply set Your PhysicModel color to transparent, while using a Ink widget set color to what you need for your child widget:
PhysicalModel(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(16),
                        shadowColor: Colors.grey.withAlpha(10),
                        elevation: 16,
                        color: Colors.transparent,
                        child: Ink(
                            color: Theme.of(context).scaffoldBackgroundColor,
                            child:

It's simply, and then you can have Inkwell effect as well as keep your color.

A: Adding Material Touch Ripples
Flutter provides the InkWell Widget to achieve this effect.
Definition:

A rectangular area of a Material that responds to touch.

Also: The InkWell widget must have a Material widget as an ancestor. The Material widget is where the ink reactions are actually painted. This matches the material design premise wherein the Material is what is actually reacting to touches by spreading ink.

Directions

*

*Create a Widget we want to tap

*Wrap it in an InkWell Widget to manage tap callbacks and ripple
animations
    InkWell(
        // When the user taps the button, show a snackbar
        onTap: () {
          Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(SnackBar(
            content: Text('Tap'),
          ));
        },
        child: PhysicalModel(
          color: Colors.teal,
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(50.0),
          child: MaterialButton /*or a FlatButton */(
            key: _globalKey,
            child: Text("Login"),
            onPressed: () {
              setState(() {
                if (_state == 0) {
                  animateButton();
                }
              });
            },
            elevation: 4.0,
            minWidth: _width,
            height: 20.0,
          ),

Sports Spotlight: Joe Jahner
By Ryan Farrell |
Posted: Wed 6:16 PM, Feb 27, 2019 |
Updated: Wed 8:20 PM, Feb 27, 2019
BISMARCK, N.D. - The West Region basketball tournament starts Thursday and the Bismarck Demons are the number two seed in the boys bracket.
One of the main reasons they are one of the best teams in the West is because of the play of senior guard Joe Jahner.
Jahner has scored over 1,000 points throughout his career as a Demon. A majority of those points have come from behind the arc.
"I think when you watch him in the gym, Joe is one of those guys that can stand in place and he'll make 20 in a row and its not even anything for him; he just kind of rolls his eyes, its no big deal. He's just got a natural stroke and when he has his balance, and his feet are set, and he finishes his follow through, he's as good as a shooter as we've ever had in this program and that I've coached. And the things that he can do with his strength and his ability to get a shot off in a quick manner he doesn't need much space," said Jordan Wilhelm, Bismarck head coach.
Jahner's most impressive shooting performance came back in December against St. Mary's. Joe drained nine threes. A Bismarck High school record for the most triples made in a single game.
"Yeah, at the beginning of the game I came out and maybe hit like four threes in a row, and at that point I was just like I'm just going to let everyone fly that I get. People think of me as a scorer but when I think of myself I can do a lot more than that, like play defense, rebound and just be a play maker for my teammates," said Jahner.
His coach couldn't agree more and that's why he has Jahner lock down the opponents highest scorer.
"The one thing you'll notice with Joe is he's not a guy that is committed on the offensive side. He's a guy that on the defensive side a lot of the nights, we ask him to guard the other teams top players. And he's really improved his rebounding here down the stretch for us, which is huge, and I think when you look at it across the board I don't know that there's anyone in North Dakota that's played as well as him and I think the things that he's doing for us right now are as good as anything you're going to see across the league," said Wilhelm.
Jahner has one last goal he'd like to accomplish to cap off his high school career and that's a State Championship.
Jahner and the Demons play Belcourt in the first round of the West Region Tournament on Thursday.

Dr. Fabrizio Fratus: Richard Dawkins says he does not want to live in Darwinist world where the strong oppresses the weak, so who does?
Other Languages English
The Collapse of Theory of Evolution
Signs of Creation
Social Darwinism results in a brutal social system where the strong oppresses the weak, the poor, sick and crippled are persecuted. But even many Darwinists do not want to live in such a cruel world. For instance the well-known evolutionist Richard Dawkins has clearly stated that he does not want to live in a Darwinist society. What is your opinion on this?
Interestingly, the main and famous supporter of Neo-Darwinism, Richard Dawkins, says that he does not want to live in a society similar to his idea of society - what he himself thinks the societies should be. He in fact always speaks about the tale of the evolution of species all over the world. Therefore, for this reason it is absurd that he says he does not want to live in a society that he himself promotes. I think that the paradox continues, on the one hand, there are people who claim that we come from animals, and at the same time try to distance themselves from this competition, which is promoted by people who say they do not want to live in such conditions. Obviously if, as they say, we derive from a system of competitive life, we will reproduce the same system in society. As I already said on other occasions, the truth is that we were not born to compete with one another, but in truth to share and cooperate together and bring good. So I reject Darwinism and everything that comes from it.
Do we want to live in a world where the richest 1% owns 50% of the wealth?

Fifty Shades of Grey Was the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen at 7:45 Last Monday Night
Posted on February 19, 2015 by Gus Harrington in Movies, Reviews // 5 Comments
Judging by all the online hubbub, it seems that everyone has something to say about the new film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Now, regular readers will know that I am not typically one to review movies. However, due to the ever-growing cacophony of controversy swirling around this film, I felt compelled to head to the theater in order to offer my enlightening criticism to the mix. And let me tell you, for the entirety of its two hour run time, Fifty Shades of Grey was by far the worst film that I was watching.
Does this film degrade modern cinema, and the whole of culture by extension? I have no idea, but it certainly was the low point of my cultural perspective for about half an evening.
To be fair though, it was the most subtle film playing at the time.
While I do not necessarily agree with every bit of negative press this movie has garnered, I do largely have to side with mainstream critics who panned the film. For example, Katie Rife at the A.V. Club called the film, "the absolute worst piece of cinematic trash that I am currently watching right now." She has a point, as one cannot help but wonder about some of the decision making that went into the movie's production.
Take, for instance, the casting of the lead roles. I have nothing against actor Jamie Dornan, but anyone in my theater could plainly see that his interpretation of Christian Grey was the least interesting portrayal of the character that was playing across the screen at that particular time. Not only that, but isn't the whole point of the Christian Grey character supposed to be how irresistibly handsome and charming he is? It is not surprising what an uproar fans of the book caused when Dornan was cast. He was by far the most hideous, unlikable person to play that role in the film while I was watching it that particular moment.
Clearly the most disgusting man currently featured in this picture.
Many critics have said that Dakota Johnson's performance as Anastasia Steele was an improvement over the character in the book, but I need to ignore those opinions if I'm going to look at this film objectively. The way I see it, Johnson's performance, while far from the worst in the entire movie, still amounted to nothing more than single still images projected onto a white background at twenty-four frames per second (to create the illusion of movement) near where I sat around two and a half days ago.
But what of the film's tantalizing sexual nature? There was so much fanfare and controversy about the film's sex scenes leading up to its release. While they may or may not have lived up to the hype in a broader cultural context, that is not for me to decide. All I know is that Fifty Shades of Grey was the least erotic of any movie that was playing at the exact time and location that I was viewing it.
You might be wondering what my final takeaway is here. Is this film worse than some? Is it better than others? Perhaps. Who knows, maybe I would have liked Fifty Shades better if I was also on my laptop in the theater, simultaneously streaming something like Invisible Mom 2, or watching a Youtube supercut of all the awful moments in Gigli. But unfortunately I wasn't, so Fifty Shades of Grey must be held (perhaps against its will) to the brutal critical appraisal that comes from being viewed in a total cultural vacuum.
All in all, if Fifty Shades of Grey really wanted to be a romantic romp, it could stand to learn a few things from a film like Pretty Woman, which is my single favorite movie of all time that I also watched at 11:15 AM on September 14, 2004.

I have no interest in seeing this, nor does reading the book hold any appeal to me. It's a little harsh what you said about Jamie Dornan though- he's not my type, but I try to refrain from making any personal comments about actors' looks. They are people too! (although, to be fair, he is laughing all the way to the bank and is probably not torn up by your comment, on the VERY off- actually microscopic- chance that he happened to see it. I've never seen "Pretty Woman" but I think it takes a lot of guts as a man to admit it's your all-time favorite :)
Gus Harrington // February 19, 2015 at 6:57 pm // Reply
You know, I actually reached out to Mr. Dornan regarding the comments I made about him in this article. I got as far as his publicist, with whom I held a brief phone conversation.
"So let me get this straight," he said to me. "You're saying that Mr. Dornan is the most hideous and disgusting person in the world?"
"No," I said. "I'm not comparing him to anyone else. I'm saying that Jamie Dornan is the most hideous and disgusting person who is ALSO cast in the role of Christian Grey in the 2015 film 'Fifty Shades of Grey' currently playing in theaters at this time."
"You do realize that Mr. Dornan is the ONLY person cast in the role of Christian Grey in the 2015 film 'Fifty Shades of Grey' that is currently playing in theaters, right?"
The publicist sighed. "So why put a negative spin on it? Couldn't you also say that Mr. Dornan is the most handsome and talented and wonderful person cast in the role of Christian Grey?"
"Um, well yes," I said. "I suppose that, logically speaking, you could say that and it would be correct, yes."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Harrington," the publicist said. "We'll print that on the DVD cover."
He hung up the phone.

I hope you get kudos for the comment on the DVD :D…

Would you believe that they didn't print my blurb on the case? I checked. In fact, there's no blurbs on there at all. It's like they couldn't find a single critic who said something nice about the film.

Even more reason to avoid it like the plague it is :)

Carriera universitaria
Barkley giocò al college a Penn State dal 2015 al 2017, totalizzando 3.843 yard e 43 touchdown su corsa, oltre a 1.195 yard e altri 8 touchdown su ricezione. Nell'ultimo anno finì al quarto posto nelle votazioni dell'Heisman Trophy e terzo in quelle del Maxwell Award. Nel 2016 vinse il titolo della Big Ten Conference e per due volte fu premiato come miglior giocatore offensivo dell'anno della conference.

Vittorie e premi
Campione della Big Ten (2016)
All-American (2017)
Giocatore offensivo dell'anno della Big Ten (2016, 2017)

Carriera professionistica

Barkley era considerato da diverse pubblicazioni come una delle prime due scelte assolute del Draft NFL 2018 Senza alcuna sorpresa, Il 26 aprile 2018 fu scelto come secondo assoluto dai New York Giants. Debuttò partendo come titolare nel primo turno contro la difesa dei Jacksonville Jaguars, una delle migliori della lega, correndo 106 yard e un touchdown ma non riuscendo ad evitare la sconfitta ai suoi. Fu il primo rookie dei Giants a correre 100 yard nella gara di debutto dalla fusione AFL-NFL del . Nel sesto turno corse 130 yard, ne ricevette 99 e segnò un touchdown contro i Philadelphia Eagles campioni in carica, venendo premiato come rookie della settimana. Nell'undicesimo turno corse 142 yard e segnò tre touchdown complessivi nella vittoria per 38-35 sui Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Per questa prestazione fu premiato come giocatore offensivo della NFC e come running back della settimana. Con 125 yard corse nel tredicesimo turno superò il record stagionale di franchigia per un rookie dei Giants. Sette giorni dopo con un TD dopo una corsa da 78 yard superò Odell Beckham (nel 2014) e Bill Paschal (nel 1943) col suo tredicesimo touchdown stabilendo un altro record di franchigia per un debuttante. A fine stagione fu convocato per il suo primo Pro Bowl e premiato come rookie offensivo dell'anno, battendo la concorrenza di Baker Mayfield..

Nel terzo turno della stagione 2019 Barkley si infortunò a una caviglia, venendo costretto a uno stop di un mese. Tornò in campo nel settimo turno correndo 72 yard e un touchdown nella sconfitta con gli Arizona Cardinals. Seguì un lungo periodo di appannamento per riprendersi dall'infortunio, terminato nella settimana 15 in cui tornò a superare le 100 yard corse per la prima volta dal secondo turno. La settimana successiva totalizzò 279 yard (189 corse e 90 ricevute) nella vittoria per 41-35 sui Washington Redskins, infrangendo cosi il record della franchigia per yard percorse in una sola partita, precedentemente detenuto da Tiki Barber dal 2002. Per questa prestazione fu premiato come giocatore offensivo della NFC e come running back della settimana.

Nel secondo turno della stagione 2020 contro i Chicago Bears, Barkley si ruppe il legamento crociato anteriore, chiudendo la sua annata.

Nella settimana 4 della stagione 2021 Barkley segnò il touchdown della vittoria ai tempi supplementari, la prima della stagione dei Giants.

Dopo due annate opache, nel primo turno della stagione 2022 mise in mostra la forma dei giorni migliori correndo 164 yard (inclusa una corsa da 68 yard) e un touchdown nella vittoria sui Tennessee Titans. Per questa prestazione fu premiato come giocatore offensivo della NFC della settimana. Nel quarto turno corse 146 yard, contribuendo alla vittoria sui Chicago Bears. A fine stagione fu convocato per il suo secondo Pro Bowl dopo essersi classificato quarto nella NFL con 1.312 yard corse. Nella prima gara di playoff in carriera, Barkley segnò 2 touchdown su corsa nella vittoria in casa dei Minnesota Vikings per 31-24. I Giants furono eliminati la settimana successiva dagli Eagles con un netto 38-7 in cui il running back guidò la squadra con 61 yard corse.

Il 7 marzo 2023 i Giants applicarono su Barkley la franchise tag.

"I think I must be trying to use all my bad luck up at once in these last few games of the season," a disappointed McDermott said after seeing an innocuous ball forward coupled with an unfortunate slip hand Leeds a victory late in the game at Elland Road.
It was a game Reading played well in and arguably deserved at least a point from. "When we came back to 2-2, we all thought we were going to win the game - but it was the same sort of thing as at Middlesbrough," McDermott said.
"We had a chance to win it there and ended up managing to lose it. And the same has happened here; it was just a long ball down the middle, Wood got in and scored. It's one of those things.
"It's disappointing, very disappointing. But there are a lot of positives to take from the game. At half time we were ahead; we controlled the game, we'd had good territory, we'd played well with the ball, we'd created a couple of decent chances to get a second - and if we make it 2-0 it's a different matter altogether.
"We had three young boys on the bench today, George Evans got an hour under his belt, it was great to see Deniss score, Lucas Piazon worked hard, the whole midfield worked hard. We've got more points than we did last season and we know we'll be playing our football in this division next season which of course is important.
"And it's there to see that there's no lack of motivation from the players, if you saw the Middlesbrough game you'll know that, and then coming back to 2-2 today...that's clear to see.
"But, after all those positives, we want to be talking about a win and we're not.
"We're giving goals away a little bit too easily, we couldn't stop the cross for the second for example. It's the ugly stuff we need to be better at, and the ugly stuff we've struggled with as a club in the last four years or so."
Reading could have come away with six points from two very difficult away games, but have got nothing despite positive performances at both the Riverside and Elland Road. And McDermott is well aware that this summer is going to be an important one for this club.
"There was a lot of adversity last week with the frustration at Boro and, for me, a lot of good can come from adversity. We all want us to do well and I know it is frustrating. That's why it's an important summer coming up.
"We're working with a lot of the lads for next season, and we've got a lot to do in the summer," he said. "We have lots of loan players on the books, players out of contract, so it's a big summer for us, a big summer for our football club ...and I'm looking forward to it."

Ethereal Clay
Ceramic works by Shin Fujihira, 13 June - 21 July 2019
Ethereal Clay: Ceramic works by Shin Fujihira
As a legend in the field of ceramic art, Shin Fujihira's impact on Japanese ceramics was profound. His whimsical works lived in an imaginative world of their own and, since his death in 2012, only a very small number of exhibitions have showcased them. Therefore, it is Ippodo Gallery's immense honor to present "Shin Fujihira: Ethereal Clay," a solo exhibition of over 50 pieces by Shin Fujihira, ranging from the early 1980s to the late 2000s, on view June 13 until July 21 in New York. For this special occasion, we have essays in the show's catalogue by Glenn Adamson, curator and Elizabeth Essner, who is an independent curator, writer and researcher specializing in modern and contemporary design and craft.
Fujihira's legacy was shaped early on by a few key, formative circumstances. His family owned a studio in the well-known ceramic area of Kyoto, Gojozaka, where ceramicists often shared kilns. In fact, Fujihira's family rented space in the kiln of mingei master Kanjiro Kawai (1890 – 1966) who gave Fujihira his name "Shin." Growing up, Fujihira and his brother frequently visited Kawai at his home to watch him work. When the time came, Fujihira began studying art at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, but his studies were postponed when he became ill and was hospitalized for four years. It was during this time that Fujihira began sketching the world around him, honing his distinctive eye for the figures he would later incorporate into his ceramic works.
After regaining his health, Fujihira left the hospital with a newfound appreciation for the preciousness of life. His work became a celebration of life itself, filling it with the energy of light, happiness and heavenly spirit. Rather than throwing pieces on a wheel like many of his peers, Fujihira created both ornamental and functional pottery by pinching. This technique gave Fujihara the flexibility to explore the fanciful abstractions of his imagination and translate them into clay.
This upcoming exhibition of Shin Fujihira's works is a testament to the success of this technique in portraying his vision—a woman throws her arms open to the heavens, balancing upon stairs leading nowhere in particular; a pair of squat owls rests atop an incense burner; a water dropper arcs, caves, distends. The fantasy is only heightened by Fujihira's masterful use of dream-like, pale celadon and cinnabar glazes. It is easy to get lost in the etheral pinks, blues and greens that deliciously coat each piece. More than just ceramics, Shin Fujihira created pure magic, which continues to spark a sense of wonder in all who get a glimpse into his world.


Chemical equilibrium calculations alone are sometimes not sufficient to understand a chemically reactive process. This happens when we need to understand how the composition of the chemical system changes with time as a result of chemical reactions. For this, chemical kinetics is imperative.
Reaktoro can perform chemical kinetics calculations combined with chemical equilibrium (i.e., part of the chemical system evolves under kinetics, while the other is continuously in equilibrium at all times). This mode of calculation is particularly useful for simulating chemically reactive systems in which some reactions have rates that are many orders of magnitude higher than others (and thus can be assumed in instantaneous equilibrium at any time).
Geochemical systems involving aqueous species and minerals are examples in which this combined chemical kinetics and equilibrium approach is valuable.

A brief history of teapots
We are all familiar with the main functions of the kettle. But there is more to a kettle than its handle and spout. In fact, this humble vessel has a great and rich history that began in ancient China.
The humble teapots beginnings
The first teapots originated in ancient China and were made of cast iron. Over time they began to make porcelain teapots and decorated them with designs of fruits and flowers. As the notion of decorating teapots grew, it became more of a decorative piece in the home as well as a functional item in the kitchen.
The first teapots arrived in Europe in the 17th century along with the arrival of tea from Asia. Although these items were originally only available to the upper class, in the 18th century Europeans began making teapots out of Chinese porcelain, which made them more affordable and therefore accessible to all.
The oldest teapot still intact today dates back to 1513 and is originally from China. He currently resides at the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware in Hong Kong.
The evolution of teapot materials
The first teapots, as stated before, were made of cast iron and clay. Tetsubin are cast iron kettles that originated in Japan. They are used for traditional tea drinking ceremonies, which are an important part of Japanese culture.
The use of porcelain and silver to make teapots emerged a few decades after cast iron and clay models were designed and started a new trend of using teapots for decorative purposes.
The Brown Betty is a terracotta clay teapot that was made in England from the 17th century on. It is an icon in the history of English tea drinking, as is the classic silver tea set.
For the past 50 years, the glass teapot has been popular as tea connoisseurs enjoy the fact that glass does not retain the flavor of the tea, so it can be used to brew various types of tea without ruining the taste.
The culture of drinking tea
In the middle of the 18th century in England, hosting tea parties became a big trend. Silver tea sets and highly decorative and elaborately designed teapots were very popular with the upper classes. Tea also plays a very important role in Japanese culture with ceremonies dedicated to the art of drinking it.
Even today, English High Tea has become a popular event for many people, with major hotels and cafes offering tea events, involving a sampling of teas, sandwiches, and small cakes.
The next time you are brewing your kettle with delicious tea to share with your friends, you can share your knowledge with them and also let them know that there is more to the humble kettle than meets the eye.

Fay's Studio - Celebrating 10 years!
There's no better way to beat the January blues than with a fresh burst of designs to brighten the grey days and with Spring Fair International just around the corner I am just in time to show you the new cards I've been working on.
What's more this February it will be my 10th appearance at Spring Fair, so that's a reason to sing and dance about. We'll be at Stand 3W50 with all of the cards and brand new mounted prints for you to peruse.
...and a sneak peek at a new range 'Funimals'.
So, thank you for sticking around for the past decade and watching my business develop and change over the years, it's been a blast!
I'm back form a long break in blogging to bring you news of an exciting collaboration I have been involved in with Cotswold Collections who commissioned a specially packaged selection of my hand illustrated Christmas cards for their customers.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with the buyer, as we chose four festive designs from my Christmas card range for the box which includes 2 of each Waxwing, Pheasant, Eagle Owl and Robin. Each box of 8 I specially hand-finished and sealed and was so proud of the final product which is now available to buy on the Cotswold Collections website.
You can also read more about the history of Christmas card sending and there is a short interview about my work on their blog.
A Father's Day Like No Other.
This month I celebrate 8 years of Fay's Studio. How time flies when you're having fun!
I welcomed this milestone with my largest single order to date from my customer of 8 years, Paperchase!
For many months an order of almost 11,000 Father's Day cards has been keeping me busy in house hand-finishing my 'Hero' Father's Day card range with tiny googly eyes. My home/studio has been overrun with boxes of thousands of cards, envelopes, cellobags and 24,000 eyes! The floorboards and walls have been creaking and I've had to fuel my Mum with plenty of tea and cake whilst packing the thousands. I couldn't have done it without her, we make a great team.
Paperchase sent their order at the end of last year, in a jaw-dropping email which said that my cards had been selected for the majority of their stores. This had never happened before so needless to say my head nearly exploded. My family were all with me when I opened the email and we were all beaming and overwhelmed by the news.
It's thrilling when a buyer loves your designs and sees your vision for what is quite a hard occasion to pitch right. It's great to strike a chord and get the sentiment right.
My thought process for the 'Hero' range is that Dads, Father-figures, Guardians, Grandfathers, God Fathers and Step Dads should all be celebrated so I designed the range with gentle sentiments such as 'You're Like A Dad To Me' and 'We Should Do This More Often Dad'.
Here are just a couple of photos of the work in progress in the studio, each tiny eye fixed on with glue before being wrapped in a cellobag with a recycled fleck kraft envelope.
The size of this order was nothing like I have ever handled before. Just seeing photos from the printers handling the litho print run and the pallet of B1 size sheets ready to be trimmed and creased was an eye-opener to scaling up business.
B1 sheets running through the litho press.
Sheets off the press and ready to be trimmed and creased and delivered to Fay's Studio.
My 'Hero' range is available now to buy at Paperchase stores. Let me know if you spot them and I hope you'll send one this year.
Ok, so I realise it's been 18 months since I last posted any news, as they say, no news is good news. It's just that I have never been so busy illustrating for some amazing clients and blogging just hasn't happened.
It's also been a really challenging 18 months because, anyone who remembers from way back why I started out in business is because I have Ulcerative Colitis, which means that working for myself I am much more able to shape my work around this condition and it's not been an easy time for me.
I also got married last October to my wonderful Husband, so it's been a whirlwind year.
Here's a little photo of our happy day and the man who supports me through everything!
Back in the Studio, I have not only been creating greeting cards for a growing number of customers here in the UK, France and Switzerland, but my work has taken on a new direction into the world of publishing.
I have contributed to these colouring books for adults 'The Art of Mindfulness' by Michael O'Mara Books and 'Calming Colouring For Kids' by Buster Books.
My fantastic agents Advocate have been keeping me incredibly busy licensing my designs to clients such as Nigel Quiney, UK Greetings, HarperCollins, Hallmark and WHSmith. There have been times when I have had to turn work down, I would love to say yes to everything, but selecting work, prioritising and time managing is so important.
At the end of 2015 I started out on my debut solo colouring book for adults, after receiving a commission from Anness Publishing. The brief to illustrate 100 different land, air and sea animals for 'Animal Magic - An Enchanting Colouring In Book'.
I spent a lot of late evenings perfecting my illustrations, making all the little details exciting for you to colour, and to see the publication in print is a huge milestone! When I was studying Illustration I'd spend hours and a lot of money in Waterstones, Borders and WHSmith on design magzines and books, so to find my very own book in book stores now is surreal.
If you'd like to purchase my book directly, you can do so here from Amazon. For a peek inside the publisher has a flip file here for you to browse. If you are a bookseller, please do approach Anness Publishing for further information.
Of course, I would love you to share your colouring skills with me, so sharpen your pencils and send your photos to me on Twitter @FaysStudio or share on Facebook with Fay's Studio Greetings.
Just before Christmas I received an invite from the Highgrove Estate to a special Christmas event they were holding for their staff and suppliers. I was told HRH The Prince of Wales was attending to meet and greet his staff of the Estate and the Highgrove shops.
Highgrove Pop-up shop, Cribbs Causeway, Bristol.
I was one of 5 suppliers who had been invited, as last year I had designed 6 greeting cards and tree decorations for Highgrove.
My greeting cards displayed in the Highgrove Shop.

On the 22nd December, on a very stormy night, myself and my partner arrived at Highgrove and spent the evening enjoying good company and plenty of refreshments!

Prince Charles must have greeted about 200 guests and was keen to speak to everyone. He was especially pleased to hear how I had created my designs and to know that I had in fact started my business through the Prince's Trust's Business Enterprise programme. It was one of life's surreal moments.
Prince Charles certainly showed his good sense of humour, his address to the guests at the end of the evening got the crowd laughing. He was very thankful for everybody's hard work last year to achieve fantastic profits for his charities and thanking the suppliers for our work. I was told that my cards and decorations had sold incredibly well which was wonderful to hear. Great feedback for my designs couldn't get much better than that!
As the Prince left the event a pianist treated us to the 12 Days of Christmas on a grand piano in a very festive way to end the night. I really hope I have the opportunity to work with Highgrove again this year, their support for my work has been amazing.

DWP Publishes Guidance on the 'Fit for Work' Sickness Absence Service
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has published guidance for employers and employees on the new 'Fit for Work' service, previously called the Health and Work Service, which is being rolled out over the coming months.
Under the new scheme, employees on sick leave will be offered an occupational health assessment when they reach, or are expected to reach, more than four weeks' absence. Normally, employees will be referred by their GP but an employer can also make the referral after four weeks' absence from work. A case manager will then support the employee through the assessment process and liaise with their employer to ensure that their level of need and the appropriate steps necessary to enable them to return to work are correctly identified. Based on this information, a 'return to work' plan will be produced.
In addition, more general health and work advice will be available to GPs, employers and employees via the Fit for Work telephone service and website.
It is envisaged that the new system will operate alongside existing occupational health facilities offered by employers, filling the gap in support that currently exists amongst small and medium enterprises.
From 1 January 2015, there is also a tax exemption of up to £500 per annum per employee on payments for medical treatments recommended by health professionals within Fit for Work and health professionals within employer-arranged occupational health services.
Although Fit for Work is voluntary, the DWP advises employers to update their sickness absence policies to reflect the availability of the scheme.
The guidance, which can be found here, will be updated regularly as the system is phased in.

11th Biennial Middelheim Antwerp - 1971 American and Dutch sculpture.
the 11th Middelheim Sculpture Biennial in 1971.
After this international open air exhibition my sculpture was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in Schiedam, on loan - being installed on the square in front of the town hall of my hometown and part of a traveling exhibition of open air sculpture of the Dutch Ministry of Culture. Now it is in the public sculpture collection of the city of Emmen in the east of the Netherlands.
