Let the Good Times Roll- Our Annual Event Extravaganza— Entire Productions, Inc.
On Tuesday, March 5th (the actual date of Fat Tuesday this year), we hosted its annual event extravaganza, appropriately titled Let the Good Times Roll: A Masked Mardi Gras. On the heels of last year's Vernal Equinox event, this year's experience took a more literal approach, showcasing the company's ability to elevate a well-celebrated annual event and take it to the next level.
Once again partnering with the incredible Bently Reserve event space in downtown San Francisco, our team took to work revamping the spaces into iconic neighborhoods of New Orleans. For the second year, 49 Square was the exclusive catering partner and during early planning meetings, they worked with members of the Entire team to design the banking hall as the historic French Quarter/Bourbon Street area; the Farallon Room as the enchanting Garden District, and the Sansome Lobby and Adriatic Room as a VooDoo inspired cemetery. The results were incredible! The delicious menu of cajun inspired bites they curated reflected the tastes and scents of the region. Partnering with Ideas Event Styling and One True Love, the decor pieces could not have been better aligned with the theme and really brought the different neighborhood settings to life. The signage, provided by Dynamite Digital, reflected Entire's Claire O'Neill's brilliant brainstorm to use the decor lamp-post pieces as directional signage; finding clever ways to utilize the decor.
As guests arrived, they were greeted by the traditional sounds of the Honor Brass Band, who embarked on a procession of the event space, reflecting New Orlean's famed tradition of a second line parade. The entertainment, which is at the soul of our business and what we are best known for, could not have been more on point. Guests were treated to two additional musical performances, by Hella Fitzgerald and Zydeco Flames, as well as a stunning aerialist performance, the reveal of shadow dancers on the balcony and a nod to inclusivity with a drag "Glitter and Be Gay!" featured set. The captivated looks on the guests' faces (and the cell phone cameras up in the air!) are the ultimate sign of success to the Entire team and the reward for the hard work that goes into planning.
Our Production Services Manager, Karen Waldmann, always the skeptic (as the one who works out all of the nitty-gritty details often is!), hesitates to say that the event was "seamless," however she does feel as though this was one of the most well-executed events she's had the pleasure of producing. The day ran stress-free, an indication of all of the hard work each team member put into their respective responsibilities leading up to the big day, and a compliment to each of our sponsors and talent, who are the consummate professionals. We are humbled to work alongside these peers and thanks to everyone who made A Masked Mardi Gras the success it was. And most importantly, we can't wait to bring this level of creative fun, and detail execution to each of our client's events!


When a Spring-like temperature tease hits in February, it can throw your clothing choices for a loop. A week of unseasonably warm weather tends to take my mind and wardrobe to tropical places. Spring break, anyone? The piece that immediately surfaces is the one-and-done — and no, I'm not talking about Duke basketball sensation Zion Williamson. In the language of fashion, the one-and-done means a one-piece garment. Call it a jumpsuit or a romper, either way it makes the perfect one-piece ensemble.
The one-and-done comes in all shapes, lengths and styles. Yes, your first image might be a sleeveless short romper that you see on a summer beach vacation, but the choices are almost endless — from casual denim to dressy velvet. You can find jumpsuit styles with everything from ruffles to casual comfort to pocket details to chic and sleek silhouettes. You can shop all jumpsuits you saw above here.
The Fashion Plate walks the blue carpet at Chapel Hill's Varsity Theater for a GAA sponsored Oscars Preview.
The benefits of the one-and-done add up. You can expect effortless, easy style every time you put one on. Plus, adding a jumpsuit or romper to your wardrobe makes packing a breeze. Less to pack means a lighter suitcase — and more room for splurges at your destination. But the real beauty of the one-and-done is the year-round options for wearing. If you own a sleeveless jumpsuit, just add a sweater or moto jacket as the temperatures dip. The one-and-done isn't just a simple and stylish choice, it's also endlessly customizable! How about a holiday soiree, a non-profit gala or that Valentine's dinner date? Pull out the one-and-done. A black velvet sleeveless jumpsuit was my Dining Divas holiday outfit two years ago, and the look works just as well today as it did then. Change the look with your shoes and a sash, and don't be afraid of doing something different! February is the perfect time to try that red lace look or blush pink one-shoulder jumpsuit — and don't forget an elegant bejeweled jumpsuit for those red carpet award show romps! Some of my favorite jumpsuits can be found here.
From the beaches of paradise to a glamorous night on the town, the one-and-done wonder can you take you just about anywhere. So, what to wear on this glorious 78 degree February day in Chapel Hill, NC?
Time to put on a one and done!


Penal - Correctional Institution in Nis has acted on all the recommendations of the NPM, which are sent to the them in order to improve the position of persons deprived of their liberty (PDLs) in Pavilion II (closed ward and detention).
Penitentiary Niš has renovated all the rooms on the ground floor; the toilets are separated from the rest of the room; the living room for prisoners is provided; prisoners are now able to watch the television programs in their dormitories; rooms for non-smokers are provided; poor condition dormitories in the basement are ejected from the use, while in the room for visits of the close persons is installed alarm (for calling the prison guard). Price list items from the canteen is highlighted in all parts of the Penitentiary and is available to all PDLs. Medical examinations of prisoners, as a rule, is carried out without the presence of members of the security services, and prison doctors regularly perform a detailed tour of the areas set aside for the accommodation of PDLs and about all relevant facts, related to the state of health of these persons and premises they use, shall notify the warden, along with measures for improvement.
NPM carried out night visit to Penitentiary Nis on 31 March 2015. During the visit, members of the team visited the premises of Pavilion II, PDLs premises, and interviewed them to determine the possible cases of torture. After the visit, NPM team made the report on the visit with recommendations.

Building a Brand that Stands Out
Whether your company has been around for decades or you're starting a new business from scratch, a strong brand is essential to success.
You might be thinking, "Well I have a great logo!" That's a good start, but a brand goes beyond just a nice-looking logo. A successful brand not only has a great visual identity (logo, fonts, and photography) but it also has great overall branding (messaging, core values, and brand persona).
A brand helps deliver three main functions to a company's customers: navigation, engagement, and reassurance.* A strong brand can cut above the noise of other competitors and guide a customer to choose their company's product. A strong brand also helps reassure the customer that they are choosing a quality product that brings value to their life or their business. And a brand that has a distinctive voice encourages customers to engage and identify with the brand.
Branding also creates consistency so that the end user is receiving the same message about your company whether it's on your website, in an ad, or through social media marketing.
For long-term success, a brand needs a distinguishable voice and messaging, a timeless look, a comprehensive knowledge of your audience or customer base, and a personality your end users can relate to. When examining how your brand holds up, ask yourself these questions:
Does my brand clearly communicate the company's values and personality?
Does my brand have a consistent voice/messaging?
Is my brand/logo recognizable?
Do we do enough to build awareness of our brand?
Do we engage with our customers and guide them to our products/services?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then there is room to improve and strengthen your brand. The Brandography branding experts can help bolster the areas of your brand that need help the most. Check out our branding services or contact Brandography today to get started on creating a strong brand identity for your company!

The San Jose Sharks have won three in a row going into tonight's difficult matchup at the Calgary Flames. Can San Jose extend the streak to four with another win?
According to oddsmakers at BetNow.eu, the Sharks are a -125 favorite to win on the moneyline. The Sharks are a +105 underdog, while the total is set at 6.5 goals. As of Thursday afternoon, 51 percent of public bets are being placed on visiting San Jose. Check out our NHL Public Betting Page for the latest updates.
San Jose earned a 3-2 overtime victory at Winnipeg Tuesday night to improve to 31-16-7 on the season. Logan Couture evened the score at 1-1 with his 20th goal of the season on the power play with 9:06 left in the first period. Joe Pavelski and Kevin Lablanc assisted on the score. The Jets went ahead 2-1 through two periods, but in the third a goal by Marcus Sorensen evened it up. Assists on the score went to Leblanc and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Pavelski won it in overtime on a shorthanded score with Brent Burns assisting. Martin Jones recorded 25 saves on 27 shots to pick up the win.
Calgary picked up a 4-3 win Sunday night at Carolina to move to 34-14-5 on the season. Elias Lindholm evened the score at 1-1 in the first period on a goal assisted by Sean Monahan and Mark Giordano. Derek Ryan put the Flames ahead 2-1 in the second on a goal assisted by Andrew Mangiapane and Oliver Kylington. Garnet Hathaway added a shorthanded goal to make it 3-1 off an assist from Ryan. After the Hurricanes cut it to 3-2 later in the second, Calgary added an insurance goal in the third by Noah Hanifin to help put it away. Sam Bennett and James Neal assisted on the goal. David Rittich stopped 34 of-37 shots in the winning effort.
The Sharks are 6-1 in their last seven games versus the Western Conference. San Jose is 4-1 in its last five games as an underdog.
The Flames are 5-0 in their last five games versus the Western Conference. Calgary is 6-1 in its last seven home games.
The Flames are very tough at home and are having a fantastic season overall. They also have more rest than their counterparts. While San Jose has the talent to get it done here, I like Calgary to protect its home ice.

Kris Vanderstraeten: Trommels! LP
Percussionist Kris Vanderstraeten is one of the unsung heroes of Belgian free improvisation. Since the seventies, he has been experimenting with his unique set-up and different collaborations: the trio Sureau, a duo with Timo Van Luijk, several performances/recordings with young experimentalists. Trommels!, the second release by DROPA DISC, is also Vanderstraeten's second solo album. It lures the listener into a universe without rules, a place where intuition and imagination decide what happens. Vanderstraeten does not play by the rules, he pushes them to the max. His drum kit isn't just an instrument: it becomes a sound generator to explore the maximal potential of texture, dynamics and space.

Extended text by Guy Peters (Enola Magazine, Gonzo Circus, Cadence … ):
At one point in the sixties, the notion of what a drummer could do, or was supposed to do, changed in the margins of jazz. Percussionists used to be the rhythm anchors, the masters of time-keeping, but then some of them set out to reshape the role of the drummer in a performing unit. It led to a more egalitarian balance between musicians. If you listen to classic recordings by drummers like Sunny Murray and Milford Graves, there's nothing that really helps you to snap those fingers or bob those heads in unison, even though they (and others, like Rashied Ali and Andrew Cyrille) often kept a pulse hidden below the surface.
And the Europeans? They took it even further, often dismantling the last remains of African trance, turning to abstraction. Pioneers like Sven-Åke Johansson, Günter 'Baby' Sommer and Han Bennink created a new percussion language. Especially in the UK there was a wave of drummers – John Stephens, Tony Oxley, Eddie Prévost, Paul Lytton – that bridged the gap between free improvisation and sound art.
Enter Belgian drummer/percussionist Kris Vanderstraeten, who reportedly fell under the spell of free music after witnessing a performance by the legendary trio of Peter Brötzmann, Fred Van Hove and Han Bennink. Since then, he has been experimenting with his self-built drum kit in different surroundings. There is the trio of Sureau (with Jean Demey and Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg), there were collaborations with musicians as diverse as Sabu Toyozumi, John Russell and Timo van Luijck, and in the past few years, he has performed and/or recorded with quite a few younger experimentalists (Christophe Albertijn, Sandrine Verstraete, Gino Coomans, Gerard Herman,…).
The 'liberation' of the drummer also led to the solo performance. Since a drummer was not just at the service of a more important/dominant leader, he could also display a personal sound world. Trommels! is Vanderstraeten's second solo album, after his 2012 solo debut on Ultra Eczema. Here he is in the middle of his comfort zone: with a drum kit that not only includes his own collection of toms and cymbals, but a whole array of objects. Pieces of wood, metal, plastic, toys, kitchen utensils. It's all possible and used to create a sound world of endless possibilities.
A bit like Paul Lytton, Vanderstraeten builds a trip, a transformation that almost functions as a microscope for sound, and the result has nothing to do with swing, repetition or steady rhythms, but with texture, dynamics and space. Don't look for that rhythm, that inner metronome. Instead, let yourself be transported by this musician who uses the drum kit as a sound generator, a platform for intuition and imagination, with rustling, throbbing, sighing, creaking, stuttering exclamations constantly triggering new trajectories.

Benjamin Watson won a Super Bowl in his rookie season. Will he win another in his final one?
The New Orleans Saints tight end announced Thursday he's planning to retire after this season. Watson has collected more than 500 receptions and 5,000 yards and has 44 touchdowns in his 15-year career.
He has 33 catches for 371 yards and two touchdowns this season while primarily serving as a reserve in his second stint with the Saints.
Watson spent his first six seasons with the New England Patriots after they selected him in the first round of the 2004 draft. He set career highs in receptions (74) and yards (825) in 2015 with New Orleans. He also played three years with the Cleveland Browns and one with the Baltimore Ravens.

Ex-IronPig Jason Grilli celebrates a Pittsburgh win over St. Louis in the 2013 playoffs.
By Steven Wine |
PUBLISHED: April 6, 2015 at 7:19 p.m. | UPDATED: June 16, 2018 at 1:23 a.m.
MIAMI (AP) — Hours before Monday's season opener, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez assessed his team's latest moves and didn't try to spin them as an upgrade.
"It's a big boy's world," Gonzalez said. "Guess what, we've got to go play a game."
On the eve of the season, the Braves traded All-Star closer Craig Kimbel and outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. to the San Diego Padres for outfielders Cameron Maybin and Carlos Quinten, two minor leaguers and a draft pick.
Quinten never joined the Braves, and the two-time All-Star was designated for assignment. Maybin arrived before the opener against the Miami Marlins but wasn't in the starting lineup.
Veteran right-hander Jason Grilli was given the closer job, with right-hander Jim Johnson his backup. Grilli, who spent a half-season with the IronPigs in 2011, has 50 career saves, including 33 with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2013.
"We feel like if the team gives us a lead, these guys will be able to shut it down for us," Gonzalez said.
Maybin will play some against left-handers and be used as a late-inning defensive replacement in center field, Gonzalez said.
The Braves' motive for the trade was to unload the remaining $46.35 million on the underachieving Upton's contract. Even so, the loss of Kimbrel was a blow. He has had at least 45 saves each of the past four seasons.
The trade was the latest in a series of rebuilding moves by the Braves since a late-season collapse that cost them a 2014 playoff berth. They have only six players who were on the opening day roster a year ago, the fewest in the majors.
The objective this year hasn't changed, however, Gonzalez said.
"I told the guys our goal is to get in the postseason any way we can," he said. "That doesn't change one bit. What changes a little is how you get to the ninth inning."

If you want to learn more about Real Beer Revolution, you're in the right place. Real Beer Revolution is all about enlightening South Africans on the wonders of craft beer – viva la revolución!
For updates on our latest blog posts. Great to see what craft beer events are happening in South Africa. Plus, everyone is on Facebook, right?
The main social media platform for all things Real Beer Revolution. Instagram is the reason we are here, where it all started, our favourite!
A work in progress for us. Stay tuned for some exciting new things coming soon to our You Tube channel. I can see this one being a real winner!
The revolution started life as my personal Instagram account. However it soon became apparent that the majority of my photos were beer themed and as my follower base grew of like minded people I had never met. My real friends started un-following me, probably bored with the bombardment of beer posts on their feed. It was at this point that I decided to remove my name from my Instagram account and Real Beer Revolution was born. Now I didn't have to feel bad about posting beer themed photos anymore, I was set free! In the space of two months my follower base grew from a couple hundred to over 1000. South Africans were digging images of craft beer, I could sense a revolution brewing!
In August 2017, I was privileged to attend the South African National Beer Trophy. Craft beers from across the country were assessed by BJCP judges and Gold and Silver medals were awarded to some amazing beers. It was apparent that local brewers and breweries were doing amazing things and finally South Africans were being treated to some real beer. Then it came to the peoples choice awards, a hotly anticipated award, voted for by the public. When Carling Black Label was announced as the winner, I actually laughed, I thought it was a joke, it was not. At this point I realised that this revolution is still young. Much effort needs to be put in to educate South Africans that just because SAB tell you their beers are the best, it does not make it true. This website was born – viva la revolución!

Mountain worship and sanshin (mountain gods) legends are intrinsic to Korean culture. Central for narratives of anti-colonial struggle and contemporary policy of North Korea, Mt. Paektu also became a symbol of Korean national identity in South Korean popular culture. This paper engages two legends sited there, suggesting that their main protagonists represent contemporary sanshin. Firstly we consider the image of Kim Chŏng-suk of North Korea, and those narratives addressing her husband, Kim Il-sŏng's guerrilla resistance in terrains surrounding Paektu. As a bodyguard of Kim Il-sŏng and a champion of revolutionary struggle, Kim Chŏng-suk transcends her human nature, and embodies female presence on Mt. Paektu. Secondly the paper investigates narrative from contemporary South Korean practice GiCheon (氣天 Kich'ŏn), intended for physical and moral cultivation of a person, reinvented in modernity on the basis of ancient East-Asian traditions. It recounts a mythic meeting of Bodhidharma with the Immortal Woman of Heaven (天仙女 Ch'ŏnsŏnyŏ) dwelling at Mt. Paektu. The Woman of Heaven overpowers Bodhidharma in battle, challenging patriarchal gender conceptions and contesting Chinese cultural superiority. Examined together, these two narratives demonstrate common cultural background. Ancient tradition, passed down from past to present, continuously accumulates and transforms, acquiring new forms in South and North Korean contexts.


This study investigates methods for approaching the management and conservation of freshwater mussel species in the lower Flint River Basin (LFRB), Georgia. The research focused on developing predictive models of the status, distribution, and dynamics of freshwater mussel species in relation to site-, watershed-, and species-level characteristics. The objectives were to: (1) develop methods for correcting mussel collection data for biases associated with incomplete detection and misidentification of species; (2) develop predictive models of mussel species occurrence that accounted for detection and misidentification biases; (3) develop dynamic multi-state, multi-species occupancy models to estimate metapopulation dynamic rates and improve understanding of the factors contributing to changes in the status and distribution of mussel species; and (4) synthesize knowledge gained from objectives 1-3 into a comprehensive framework useful for developing a decision tool that predicts the response of mussel populations to alternative water resource management actions. Research methods involved field data collection combined with existing mussel collection data from sites located throughout the LFRB. The results indicated generally low species detection probabilities and a substantial risk of misidentification for many LFRB mussel species. Additionally, although misidentification rates generally declined with observer experience, the risk of misidentification varied substantially among observers with identical experience. Models also suggested that mussel species presence was strongly and negatively related to the presence of impoundments and climatic drought, although the effects of drought and reach isolation were largely restricted to small- and mid-order tributaries. Models of mussel species meta-demographic rates indicated an elevated risk of local population extinction in the presence of short-term summer floods, generally low rates of colonization, and reduced local recruitment to existing populations in the presence of below-average low winter flow conditions. Results from this dissertation add to a growing body of literature regarding the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the status and dynamics of freshwater mussel populations and species. This knowledge could be useful in the development of management and conservation strategies aimed at balancing human and ecological water resource requirements, particularly if used in conjunction with ongoing monitoring activities under an Adaptive Resource Management framework.

Rwanda, Djibouti Remove Visa Fees for Some Travellers
byKT Press Staff Writer April 18, 2017 at 10:09 pm 0
For President Kagame(L), benefiting Djibouti Rwanda cooperation, are not just people of both countries, but Africans in general.
Rwanda and Djibouti have today signed an agreement that exonerates visa fee for diplomatic and service passport holders from both countries respectively among a series of memorandum of understanding (MoUs) that will strengthen trade and political ties.
The agreements were signed during the first day of official visit of President Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame to Djibouti.
They were received by Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh and Djibouti First Lady Kadra Mahamoud Haid.
President Kagame told the media in Djibouti, during a joint press conference, that both countries signed crucial agreements.
"This time we are here, and before, our ministries signed documents of cooperation in specific areas and we are very happy with this."
In Djibouti, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame are accompanied with Minister of Trade, Industries and East African Community Affairs, Francois Kanimba, Minister of Youth and ICT Jean Philbert Nsengimana and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Louise Mushikiwabo among others.
They signed cooperation agreements relevant to their various portfolios with their Djibouti counterparts.
Bilateral agreements that were signed include exoneration of visa fee for diplomatic and service passport holders between both countries.
"We have signed an agreement that exonerates visa fee for diplomats and service passport holders in our countries. That is just the beginning; others will follow," responded President Guelleh to a journalist who asked an update on exoneration of visa fee for all the people travelling to Rwanda from Djibouti and vice versa.
"Our two countries desire closer collaboration on issues of common interest, in particular trade and investment," said President Kagame.
The cooperation between Djibouti and Rwanda is not narrowed down to the areas where Ministers signed agreements.
"Our cooperation is not limited to these areas but extends to many others that our two sides find mutually beneficial," said President Kagame.
For President Kagame, benefiting Djibouti Rwanda cooperation, are not people of both countries, but Africans in general.
"We will continue to work together to advance integration in the region and continent particularly through ongoing AU reforms and continue to advocate for greater unity. The goal being increased prosperity for Djibouti and Rwanda, our region and Africa," said President Kagame.
President Kagame, during the 27th African Union General Assembly in Kigali, July 2016, was tasked to reform the Union giving it a design that will assure autonomy and self-reliance.
He then formed a team of experts to help in this task and the report was filed in January during the General Assembly of AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
"We have worked together and we will continue to work together to contribute to the wellbeing of the African people as we build on what we have given our own people of our two countries," said President Kagame.
President Guelleh said that his country has interests to be a friend of Rwanda.
"We want to benefit from the experience, performance and vision of President Paul Kagame who managed to succeed where many of us have failed," said Guelleh.
"He succeeded to develop and create peace, reconciliation and to put Rwanda on the level of an excellent and emerging country. It's a glory for all the Africans and an honor for Rwandan people."
Guelleh said his country is with Rwandans as they commemorate the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.
He demanded that perpetrators should be brought to book.
"Peace and Security Council should do its work to track the genocide suspects that are still wandering in several countries," said Guelleh.
Also during this visit, the First Lady of Rwanda Jeannette Kagame visited the Union Nationale des Femmes de Djibouti (UNFD), on the invitation of First Lady Kadra Mahamoud Haid.
First Lady of Djibouti has been the President of UNFD since 2000.
At this visit, the First Lady of Rwanda was warmly welcomed by hundreds of women from the Djiboutian government and civil society.
Several presentations at the meeting summarized achievements of Djibouti women in the last four decades of country independence: women participation in judicial and political sectors to mention but a few.
The First Lady of Rwanda also visited several activities by Djibouti women.
One of those activities is the Centre d'écoute, d'orientation, et d'information– which just celebrated 10 years of fighting gender based violence, while providing a safe place for women (and men) to report cases of abuse and begin the healing process through medical care and legal advice.
This centre could be compared with the Isange One Stop Centres in Rwanda which the First Lady Jeannette Kagame largely supports.
Rwanda is represented in Ethiopia by an Ambassador- Hope Tumukunde – based in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Likewise, Djibouti's Ambassador to Rwanda is based in Ethiopia.
Rwandan community in Djibouti is made of just 30 people, most of whom work as engineers in different military bases, while three have lived in Djibouti for almost 30 years and are teachers.
Rwandan community to Ethiopia is however set to increase in new future.
Rwanda was given 20 hectares of land by Djibouti at the Port of Djibouti, and the country is still looking for investors to develop the land, according to Minister Louise Mushikiwabo.
Djibouti has also got land in Kigali Economic Zone.
Guelleh toured the Kigali Economic Zone while in his visit to Rwanda last year.
President Paul Kagame and Mrs Jeanette Kagame will be attending the State Banquet hosted by President Ismael Omar Guelleh and First Lady Kadra Mahamoud Haid, this evening.

I believe that therapy work requires us to honour the delicate balance between providing sufficient clarity about someone's condition and over indulging in the drama of their story.
The strength of kinesiology, the therapy I practice, is its ability to find answers, to explain to someone how and why their symptoms have arisen. If this information requires a change of diet to avoid allergens, then it is clearly important to have this discussion. Equally, it can be reassuring to know that a skin complaint is the expression of a suppressed childhood trauma rather than a reaction to a cleaning product.
That said, we can sometimes over-indulge the intellect by dismantling every thought and emotion. It is possible to almost revel in the validation such an explanation gives us and use it as an excuse for the lack of progress or recovery. 'I would eat sensibly if I didn't have so much left over anger from my childhood.' If this dynamic is left even partially untreated it creates an energy of its own – 'I eat too much, that is bad, I do so because I have repressed anger, my dad is to blame' etc. It becomes hard to break out of this self energising paradigm if there is substantial attachment to the story.
I see a growing number of people these days who take an almost Buddhist view of detachment and ask me not to engage with the dynamics of their specific story but simply bring in healing to support their intent for change or growth. They often move forward more quickly on their journey by steering clear of the ego and its desire to attach to a drama.
I appreciate that this is a controversial area within most therapies. Reiki practitioners debate whether targeted treatments are more powerful than simply following a generic protocol; hypnotherapists debate the difference between solution focused sessions and exploring the issues that led to their client's current condition. Some forms of meditation could be seen as the ultimate act of detachment but is it the perfect therapy or just a good generic protocol that can help us to some extent? Can we release a complex energy dynamic if we don't even know it is there?
Personally, I believe that some information and explanation is fundamentally helpful in the early stages of our healing journey. Thereafter, as we start to understand the mind, body, spirit connection and the dynamics of how life works, we can take a softer view of the drama and choose to detach from it. That appreciation of simplicity comes about because we have already looked into our story and come to terms with the mechanics of our existence. It is a right of passage that, as with most expertise, allows us to move into simplicity and ease. Having reached this stage, we have the awareness to recognise unwelcome emotional or physical responses as just being the expression of our story. We can then treat them lightly and observe them without judgment. This disempowers the whole dynamic and allows us to move on through our lives casting only a small shadow and leaving only gentle footprints on our way.

Orlando Leyba Works in Two-Man Exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland
Trenza, 32″ x 24.5″
Paintings by visual arts faculty member Orlando Leyba have been selected for a two-man show at TAFKAJ Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland. The show, Opus 15: Profusion, runs September 13 to November 3, 2013.
Paintings by visual arts faculty member Orlando Leyba have been selected for a two-man show at TAFKAJ Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland. The show, Opus 15: Profusion, runs September 13 to November 3, 2013. The second artist is Lyle Kissack of Baltimore. Leyba and Kissack both attended the Maryland Institute, College of Art, MFA (Mount Royal School) graduate program, finishing in 1989.
"My work is the result of overlapping cultures, languages, and mores," says Leyba, a native of Chimayo, N.M. "These influences and experiences are distilled into shape, color, emotion, and movement. At times they are neither solid nor fluid; they are ephemeral and rooted in human experiences — well intentioned, cyclical, and inherently flawed. These compositions are derived from nature, custom cars, family and cultural dynamics, petroglyphs, art history, the flotsam of childhood memories, and an otherwise endless supply of imagery and stimulation from the mass media. These paintings meld the contradictions and dichotomies that I have witnessed in my own culture and within my hometown, as well as concepts about time, the spirit world, human interaction, and the diversity of factors that influence change that we witness in the world from day to day."
In describing Leyba's work, Andrew Connors, Curator of Art of Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, says, "Orlando Leyba paints what at first glance appear to be pure abstractions; however, his richly colored and textured forms and shapes are loaded with personal, cultural, regional, and universal symbolism. Thus his paintings reward the viewer richly and differently each time they are pondered. Similarly, he does not limit himself to one medium; instead he lays in most of his works with acrylic, casein, pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, ink, and collaged media. The archeological excavation of these surfaces becomes an intellectually rewarding examination of the power of mark making. Perhaps most noticeable about his work is the all-American boldness of form and powerful expression of color."

Charlotte Turner Smith: a harbinger of romantic poetry?
Sert, Gökçe
Charlotte Smith, a prolific and prominent poet of the late 18th century, inspired many of her successors with the innovative poetic genres and subject matter that she introduced. Although her literary legacy was largely forgotten for centuries, she has been recently rediscovered by feminist scholars of Romanticism and is nowadays being cited as the first Romantic poet. Despite the many innovations in her poetry, this study, however, intends to problematize this labelling, by arguing that Smith's poetry fails to adhere to important Romantic principles. Hence, this research focuses on the concepts of transcendence and Burkean sublime, sensibility and subjectivity to reveal her complex relationship to Romantic preoccupations and tradition of poetry. The discussion of the poems is preceded by an introductory chapter about Smith's legacy and life as biographical references to her painful life are integral to any comprehensive discussion of Smith's poetry. Following the introduction, a theoretical chapter on the concept of Romanticism lays the foundations for the discussion. The close reading of the poems reveals that owing to her lack of formal education, Smith does not have the philosophical background that many of her male counterparts do; thus, the worldview presented in the poems is mostly superficial, lacking the profundity that is predominant in later, canonical Romantic poetry. However, her poetry does reveal the ethics of feminine sensibility, the complexity of the female dissent and the fluidity of subjectivity, which insights make her one of the most important and interesting lyrical voices of her time.

A Julia Kristevan analysis of Emily Dickinson and John Milton
Sarıkaya, Merve; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of Foreign Language Education (2007)
This thesis aims to analyze poems by Emily Dickinson and John Milton according to Julia Kristeva's theories of poetic language and abjection, and to see the extent to which these concepts are applicable to two such different poets and also to see how the poets compare within such analytic framework.

Psychoanalytic criticism with its two leading figures, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, has been analyzed to see its reflections on Kristeva...

Theatricality and the chronotope in "The Magus" by J. Fowles and "England, England" by J. Barnes
Filimonova, Alexandra; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Language Teaching (2009)
The thesis reveals the main principles of the theatrical chronotope and examines the ways in which it is embodied in the novels of two postmodern authors – The Magus by John Fowles and England, England by Julian Barnes. These are analyzed as presenting two different variants of texts that employ the theatrical chronotope to exploit its different possible semantic implications. The thesis argues that in The Magus theatricality is employed to convey the author's philosophical and aesthetical thoughts. The mai...

Diamonds are gemstones created from carbon which changes its crystal structure under extreme pressure and temperatures. This process can also be copied in the laboratory in order to create synthetic or artificial diamonds. These are not fake diamonds. Buying a synthetic diamond is slightly less valuable than a natural diamond.
