Home Analysis Erdoğan's Clash with Journalists
Erdoğan's Clash with Journalists
Kamran Bokhari
Summary There is a tendency to view heads of state with contempt when they don't conform to certain values, but doing so is detrimental to the practice of analysis and forecasting. Recently, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has provoked public ire for his increasingly autocratic behavior. Through an empathetic approach, we can appreciate the rationale behind the decisions of leaders like Erdoğan, rather than simply dismissing them as reckless.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is in Washington to attend the two-day nuclear security summit. Yesterday, he gave a speech at the Brookings Institution that was marred by controversy when members of his security detail reportedly kicked or shoved at least two journalists and attempted to remove another from the premises. His security detail also scuffled with anti-Erdoğan protesters and tried to remove journalists they deemed hostile from the room where Erdoğan spoke. D.C. Metropolitan Police officers tried to separate Erdoğan's men and the protestors but could not prevent clashes. Notably the D.C. police said that no one had been arrested as a result of the incident.
For most people, the behavior is further evidence that under Erdoğan, Turkey is increasingly becoming an authoritarian state that suppresses the freedom of the press and the public's right to peaceful dissent. But the important question is why Erdoğan would engage in behavior that would seemingly undermine his position.
The easy answer is to say that Erdoğan is either an autocrat or oblivious to the ramifications of his actions. But he did not come to power and bring the powerful military under civilian control by being anything but a very skilled politician. What seems like madness always has a method to it.
Erdoğan and his security officers knew that they would be greeted by angry protestors and journalists who would try to embarrass him over his anti-Kurdish policies and his unwillingness to confront the Islamic State. They also knew that their efforts to prevent the journalists from attending would be caught on camera for the whole world to see and only play to the advantage of their opponents. In addition, they realized that there are powerful lobbies in the U.S. that oppose Turkey and/or its current government and could use this to their advantage, especially in an election year, and further complicate already tense relations between Washington and Ankara.
Yet, they did not care and continued with their plan to evict those journalists who were hostile and in the process confront protestors. This was not a casual decision. But why give their opponents more ammunition? The answer is that in this instance, they didn't really care what their opponents would say.
For the Turkish government, what matters most is taking a strong stand against Kurdish separatism. It is important for Erdoğan to show his domestic constituency that he makes sure the United States doesn't just tell Turkey what to do, but rather has to deal with strategic issues important to Turkey. In the question and answer session after his speech at Brookings, Erdoğan was asked about relations with Israel and about freedom of the press. These are the issues Brookings cares about. But listen to Erdoğan's speech and you will see these are not the issues at the top of Erdoğan's list right now. What Erdoğan cares about is the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
As important as understanding Erdoğan's position is understanding how Turkish-U.S. relations fit within the context of our geopolitical model. The United States is trying to build a balance of power in the Middle East and wants Turkey to take on a more active role in combating the Islamic State. Turkey does not want to be dragged into a conflict in Syria and feels that its own Kurdish insurgency is more important. Also, Turkey has opposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime from the beginning.
It is our view that Turkey will be forced to take steps to protect its interests in Syria eventually, but that doesn't mean Ankara is eager to do so. Turkey and the U.S. are allies, but they also have different interests, and Erdoğan was drawing attention to his position and his independence as a leader. It may be a coincidence, but it should also be noted that this week relations between Russia and Turkey began to thaw following a tense period after Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24. A Russian delegation visited Turkey from March 28-30, and Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency lifted a ban on passenger flights to the tourist destination of Antalya, Turkey. Turkey cannot afford to be hostile toward both the U.S. and Russia, and a more balanced relationship with each is in Turkey's interest.
That he was invited to speak at Brookings further emboldens Erdoğan, so he is under no pressure to shift from fighting the Kurds to fighting the Islamic State. On the contrary, Ankara has been openly critical of the Americans and the Europeans for what it says is a double standard on Kurdish terrorism by condemning the PKK but working with their Syrian counterparts. From the Turkish point of view, terrorists are terrorists, whether they are PKK or IS, but Syrian Kurds have a natural relationship with the PKK and therefore are a much bigger threat to Turkish national security.
Erdoğan's speech at Brookings wasn't aimed at the Brookings audience so much as it was aimed at Turks watching the speech. He led off the talk by discussing a bombing in Diyarbakır that killed at least six Turkish military personnel and for which he blamed Kurdish insurgents. He agreed to speak at Brookings knowing what type of audience he would be addressing. But he also did not want to be embarrassed, so his guards tried to remove protesters they felt were insulting him, and he gave a frank talk about Turkey's strategic interests.
This had the potential to be a big deal. Erdoğan's security guards squared off with Washington, D.C. police officers. American reporters, already predisposed to dislike Erdoğan, will now criticize him even more. The president of the National Press Club sharply rebuked the actions of Erdoğan's security guards. But there have not been any more statements, and the situation seems to have calmed for now, though certainly there are many in Washington who have an incentive to make a big deal out of this incident.
Erdoğan came to the U.S. knowing full well that in informal conversations with President Barack Obama he was going to be asked to do things he doesn't want to do and doesn't plan to do, and to stop doing things that he has no intention of stopping. He also knew about the environment at Brookings and what kinds of questions he was going to be asked there. Ultimately, he is the president of Turkey. There is always a rationale behind the actions of leaders that observers miss if they do not place themselves in the leaders' positions.
Whether or not Erdoğan is an autocrat crushing the freedom of the press is not the type of question that concerns Geopolitical Futures. We deal instead with the pressures and constraints under which leaders must operate. That helps us understand their behavior and, more important, what they will do next.

U.S. Seventh Circuit/
Decisions in Liability Insurance Coverage, Satellite-Cable Piracy, and Criminal Matters
By FindLaw Staff on March 10, 2010 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
Today, the Seventh Circuit decided a criminal case, a sewer district's suit against a liability insurer, and a case involving a preliminary injunction enjoining a defendant from engaging in piracy.
In US v. Oglesby, No. 09-1334, the court faced a challenge to the district court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence of a firearm discovered during a Terry stop. In affirming the denial, the court held that based on the totality of the circumstances, the officer clearly had articulable facts upon which he could reasonably suspect that the defendant was armed or dangerous, and moreover, the pat-down was extremely limited to the area on the defendant where the gun was found.
In Russian Media Group, LLC v. Cable Am., Inc., No. 09-1554, the court faced a challenge to the district court's grant of preliminary injunction enjoining the defendant-cable television company from pirating Russian-language satellite television programming and distributing it to customers in certain apartment houses. In affirming the decision, the court held that the trial court did not err in writing the injunction as it did. The court also rejected all of defendant's claims including res judicata defense, preemption defense and its argument that the preliminary injunction was inappropriate because the plaintiff was not the "aggrieved party."
In Milwaukee Metro. Sewerage Dist. v. American Int'l Specialty Lines Ins. Co., No. 09-1645, the court faced a challenge to the district court's judgment in favor of a sewerage district in its suit against an environmental liability insurer for denying coverage for pollution clean-up costs. In reversing the decision, the court held that the trial court erred in finding that, by a clear and convincing proof, that a prior agreement existed with respect to the parcel at issue would be covered property.

Out fishing, Police Chief Matt Davis stumbles upon the remains of a murder victim, killed approximately six months earlier. With no evidence, no ID, and no clues, it's up to Matt to not only find the murderer, but to discover the victim's identity.
About The Author: Joe Perrone Jr. worked as a sportswriter for the Passaic-Clifton, NJ, Herald News, as well as a freelance advertising copywriter. Joe was also a professional fly-fishing guide for ten years in the Catskill Mountains of New York, and has had several fly-fishing short stories published in the Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. Both Opening Day and Twice Bitten are actually set in Roscoe, NY, the small Upstate New York fishing village where Joe was a guide. is perhaps best known for his Matt Davis Mystery Series, which includes As the Twig is Bent (the first in the series), Opening Day, and Twice Bitten (the most recent in the series). Joe's first novel, Escaping Innocence (A Story of Awakening), was published in 2008, and is an evocative coming-of-age novel set in the turbulent '60s.

About Joe Perrone Jr.
Joe Perrone Jr is an author whose diverse background includes a stint as a sports writer with a prominent New Jersey newspaper, the Herald News, and several years spent freelancing as an advertising copy writer. He has had numerous short stories published in the Mid-Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. In addition to his writing, he spent ten years as a professional fly fishing guide on the historic Beaverkill River in New York's Catskill Mountains. Nearby Roscoe - "Trout Town USA" - serves as the setting for four of the five books in the Matt Davis Mystery series. The five are: "As the Twig is Bent," "Opening Day," "Twice Bitten," "Broken Promises," and "Deadly Ransom." Roscoe is a place to which Joe returns as often as possible to fish his favorite waters and visit with long-time friends. In addition to the Matt Davis mysteries, Joe authored "Escaping Innocence: A Story of Awakening," a coming-of-age novel set in the turbulent sixties; "A 'Real' Man's Guide to Divorce (First you bend over and . . . ," as well as co-authoring "Gone Fishin' with Kids (How to Take Your Kid Fishing and Still be Friends)" with Manny Luftglass.
In October of 2015, Joe suffered a mild stroke, which served as a wake-up call. He underwent a complete lifestyle change, including switching to a diet that is about 90 percent vegetarian, which resulted in a weight loss of nearly 30 pounds. Unfortunately, the stroke caused an already dicey balance system to become even worse. As a result, Joe's days of wade fishing his beloved Catskill trout streams with fly rod in hand may be nearing an end. He's still fishing, but more often than not it's with a spinning rod (affectionately referred to as a "zip gun" by hardcore fly fishermen). Joe still enjoys cooking (and eating), reading his Kindle, listening to music (anything but hard rock), and spending time with his two granddaughters. He and his wife live in the shadow of Charlotte, North Carolina, in Indian Land, South Carolina, together with Willow the Wonder Dog. Joe welcomes comments and queries from readers via email at: joetheauthor@joeperronejr.com. He makes every effort to respond to all emails promptly.

Reviews of Opening Day: A Matt Davis Mystery by Joe Perrone Jr.
Sheila Deeth reviewed on Feb. 18, 2012
Cozy in setting and characters, gritty in detail, equally convincing in police procedure and the tying of flies for fly-fishing, Joe Peronne's Opening Day takes Matt Davis out of New York City but keeps him firmly in the world of crime and victim. Village life is filled with well-drawn characters met at station, diner, on the road or by the river. But even the quietest, safest place can hide secrets, and a dead body found in the water may be just the first of many.
While Davis quietly fishes for clues, runaways look for freedom. And the mystery's not just who-dun-it; it's also who was done and how. The countryside's ease lends a gentler touch to this second book as it follows As the Twig is Bent, though the dangers of life and road are depicted with the same clear-eyed honesty. I enjoyed seeing Davis continuing his career, still using his skills, but growing as a person, making this much more than just another police procedural. I'm looking forward to reading book three—Twice Bitten—and to spending more time in the company of good people, in the countryside of upstate New York's good rivers and trees.
Disclosure: I am grateful for the author for giving me an ecopy of this novel after I reviewed As the Twig is Bent.

Well, OPENING DAY starts off magnificently--I'm a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe, and found myself smiling at the opening scene's visual similarities to the setting of Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum."
I liked the tight writing (Hemingway would approve--probably along with the well-written and well-placed fishing scenes, which offer an interesting contrast to the more tense aspects of the plot's development). Sequels sometimes have a sense of "fizzling out" (they often just don't have the same panache as the first in a series), but Mr. Perrone's talent and skills really shine in the mystery/detective genre. I watch a lot of Law and Order episodes (I am a diehard fan) and I felt this story evoked the same kind of suspense/tension/plot-unraveling as with many of the Law and Order cases/episodes (with a bit of a Bones/CSI-type feel added in for good measure).
Character development is top notch (not only with the main character/former NYPD homicide detective--there are several 3-dimensional female characters too!), as well as the dialogue (which makes for smooth, pleasant reading). The little details elevate this book beyond mediocre and subpar, such as with the brief mention of Ted Bundy, and the multi-layered plot which comes together via past and present day. That bold and unique structure of the book was the best element of the novel for me. It set the pace well and it moved the pieces of the story along in a compelling way (very fitting for a mystery piece). Oftentimes an author might shy away from the "past versus present" structure throughout the book, but I guess the good writers do exactly what everyone else says cannot be done.
Also, without giving away any spoilers, the ending was cohesive and just perfect in terms of execution. Now to wait for the next in the Matt Davis Mystery Series by Mr. Perrone (I await more fabulousness in terms of characterization and setting)!

Another excellent tale from Mr. Perrone, an exciting read with more twists and turns than a wily old fish on a line. Matt Davis is an interesting character, and I appreciate the development shown.

Try out this science experiment... a classy chemical demonstration. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make a foamy elephant toothpaste chemical reaction. There's a reason why they call this elephants toothpaste.
Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to form oxygen gas and water. When potassium iodide is added as a catalyst, the oxygen forms bubbles and creates a large volume of foam. This is an easy science experiment you can do right at home.
Ingredients: 35% hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, and potassium iodide catalyst.

Yukata is Japanese traditional clothing. Why do not you wear a yukata and take commemorative photos in the town of Kyoto? It is a popular experience to tourists come from foreign countries.
Take advantage of the spring season while touring through all the essential cities of Japan on our Essence of Spring | Hiroshima package. Get your cameras ready as we visit Japan's most popular destinations while sakura petals float in the background. Ideal for your first visit or fifth visit to Japan, we cover the can't-miss spots you have to see.
We will spend today exploring the city of Hiroshima. First we will visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. One of the main highlights here in Hiroshima is the A-Bomb Dome, the only surviving building from the aftermath, and the Peace Park Memorial where you can see and read about the relic of the war. Stroll along the park to see famous attractions like that of Sadako's statue and the freedom bell. The A-Bomb Dome has been preserved to be a reminder of the tragedy for future generations and to symbolize its wishes for everlasting peace.
In the afternoon our Japan Cherry Blossom Tour will head to Miyajima, an island south of Hiroshima known for its Itsukushima Shrine, or floating torii gate. During high tide, the torii gate looks as though it is floating in water, creating a unique sight, considered one of Japan's three most beautiful sights.
Miyajima is also known for its momiji manju (maple leaf shaped cake with red beans) and oysters which you can enjoy during your time on the island.
The tour was good generally speaking.
Excellent tour and very memorable! I have traveled all over the world and this is in my top 3 trips.
Would have liked a few "Free" hours to do some shopping as I was too tired after traveling at the end of the day.
Driver, Mr. Kondo was very pleasant and professional. The bus was always comfortable and clean.
Best place visited in Japan: Todaiji Temple, Gion - Geisha District, Ninenzaka, sanjusangendo and Hiroshima.
Best experience had in Japan: Bullet train.
I would highly recommend Japan Deluxe Tours and especially any tour led by Hiroko Osaki.
Best experience had in Japan: Shrine, Temple, Gardens, bullet train and Ashi cruise.

Home Politics After the Prosecutor Appeals at The Supreme Court, The Federal Court Suspends...
After the Prosecutor Appeals at The Supreme Court, The Federal Court Suspends Witness Hearing
The appeal was filed after the Federal High Court, on April 6, denied the prosecutor's request for a closed-door and behind-the-scenes witness trial, which was set to begin today. The high court denied the prosecutor's appeal on April 6th, stating that the existence of the threat presented to its witnesses was not supported by adequate evidence. The court also quoted Article 20 of the constitution, which stipulates that anybody accused of a crime has the right to a fair hearing in a court of law. The court, on the other hand, decided that the prosecutor's witness trial could continue without the names of the witnesses being revealed. However, the lawyer has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court, delaying the commencement of the witness hearing until today.
Furthermore, the defense team informed the Supreme Court today that they had not obtained any court order from the Supreme Court requiring them to appear and respond to the federal prosecutor's appeal. They also noted that the prison administration had failed to enforce their clients' complaints over access to a private health center and telephone contact with family members of a decision passed in prior court hearings.
The first defendant, Jawar Mohammed, has requested access to care in order to undergo a dental procedure to treat sores attached to two teeth, as recommended by physicians.
Bekele Gerba, the second defendant, told the court that the defendants would like to appear in person before the Supreme Court to refer to the prosecutor's appeal. He also requested that the court compel the prison administration to supply him with the COVID-19 vaccine because he suffers from other health problems that render him vulnerable.
As a result, the judges ruled that the prison administration should make it easier for defendants to communicate with their families who live abroad and that defendant Bekele Gerba be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The court also directed Jawar's attorneys to send a doctor's written prescription for dental surgery to the judge's office so that the coffin could be removed.
Bekele Gerba's request for physical presence at the Supreme Court to refer to the prosecutor's appeal was denied, and the court instead ordered defense attorneys to appear in person and the defendants to watch the proceedings on plasma TV.
The court postponed the next trial until April 28, pending the Supreme Court's ruling on the prosecutor's appeal on the operation of the witness hearing.
Tuli Bayisa, a member of the defense team, told Addis Standard that they did not obtain the Supreme Court's order to appear and respond to the federal prosecutor's appeal until after the news broke.

It probably seems like an obvious verse. Obviously, we all need to be helping the poor and the needy. Don't most people have a heart for those who are less fortunate? For those who don't have anything? For the needy?
The unique thing that I love about this woman, is that she is probably doing this right in her own neighborhood. She is probably reaching out right in her own community. And while I DO think she is actually helping people that don't have much materialistically, I think more-so she is aware of those who also are needy emotionally. Mentally. Those who are wounded and broken. People who are in despair. Widows who are now raising children with no father because they were killed in Iraq. Encouraging the stay-at-home mom down the street who is so lonely that she just wants to die. Reaching out to the teenager who bags her groceries every week.
She is open to how the Spirit is to use her, all through her daily life.
Because the truth is, we all come into contact with people EVERY DAY who are struggling, contemplating suicide, doing drugs and begging on the inside for someone to notice how lonely they really are. They might actually have all the materialistic things in the world and still be needy. And I honestly have to read this verse and ask myself sincerely, 'AM I truly open?'. Am I opening my arms to the poor and EXTENDING them to people who are in need?
Whether it be giving a homeless man ten bucks to buy some food or just listening to a friend who has been deeply wounded in their past. Whatever the need may be, I read this verse and have to ask myself, 'AM I truly open?'.
I always say that this woman amazes me. But she really does. This verse doesn't say that she doesn't have time to recognize those in need. It doesn't say that she sees them and just prays for them because she's too busy. It says that she just DOES it. She opens her arms and extends her hands, regardless of the need. And there is no doubt that she is busy. But she's not ever too busy to reach out to those who are less fortunate. Or to those who are struggling. I imagine that this woman's home was full of people who just wanted to be sitting on her couch just to be near her and her family. Her hospitality wasn't lacking, I'm sure. The compassion that came from this woman was probably abundant.
She would just extend her hands to those who needed it. And from the depths of despair of those she saw around her she was able to share, Christ, grace, love, mercy, and friendship. And THAT, my friends is what it's all about.

Witchcraft, being too cold to type and being too short to reach the post box are among the most bizarre excuses the taxman has heard for people not getting their self-assessment returns in on time.
Some of the strangest excuses HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said it has heard in the past year include someone's mother-in-law being a witch and putting a curse on them; someone else saying they were too short to reach the post box, and someone being too cold to type after their boiler broke down.
The deadline for getting online self-assessment returns in for the 2017-18 tax year and paying any tax owed is January 31.
People who fail to do this face a £100 initial fine followed by further possible penalties.
HMRC said every year it also receives some dubious expenses claims for unconvincing items.
Expenses include a claim for woolly underwear, a carpenter claiming for a TV and sound bar to help him price jobs and someone else claiming for a music subscription so they could listen to tunes while they worked.
HMRC said all these excuses and expenses claims were unsuccessful.
Help is available on gov.uk from the self-assessment helpline or on social media.

Venturini Motorsports signs Conner Jones for part-time ARCA Menards Series schedule
Tim Disspain January 6, 2022

Venturini Motorsports (VMS) announced today the signing of Fredericksburg, Virginia, driver Conner Jones to a three-race ARCA Menards schedule in 2022.
The 15-year-old Jones, who comes to the team with the mindset of gaining experience while furthering his career at the next level, will compete in the ARCA Menards Series events at Iowa Speedway (June 11) and Salem Speedway (Oct. 1). The high school Sophomore will also team with VMS at Dover Motor Speedway for the ARCA Menards East race in April.
VMS, with a rich tradition of winning in the ARCA Menards Series, is well-known for its success nurturing young, talented drivers with goals of reaching the highest levels of the sport. Notable past VMS 15-year-old driver signings include NASCAR Cup driver Erik Jones, NASCAR driver and 2019 ARCA Menards Series champion Christian Eckes, NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Justin Haley, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Chandler Smith and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver and youngest ARCA winner in history Todd Gilliland.
"It's exciting to take the next step in ARCA with a team like Venturini Motorsports," Jones said. "They've been one of the most dominant teams in ARCA for a long time. It gives me added confidence knowing I'm surrounded by a lot of successful people and racing really good equipment. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to learn as much as I can for the future. I'll be really happy if I can go out and run top five, top 10 each week."
Starting off in the seat of a go-kart, Jones has made the early progression through the ranks, learning his trade behind the wheel of Bandoleros, Legends and Late Models. Furthering his development over the last two years, Jones was successful running a healthy dose of late model events in the East at Caraway, Dominion, Hickory and South Boston Speedways.
In 2021, he started the season winning two Super Pro Late Model events at New Smyrna Speedway at the World Series of Asphalt before taking on a full season in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour. His 2022 plans also include a second straight year in the CARS tour.

Constructed in 1925 and the first building to be constructed on the campus, Richardson Hall is considered the heart and soul of the campus. The Hall was slated for a thorough renovation which included HVAC, lighting, plumbing and technology to name a few. All classrooms, meeting rooms and the auditorium received a technology refresh. The auditorium update included new acoustical treatments, new rigging, theatrical lighting, orchestra shell and audiovisual system. The old network cabling was replaced, and the system expanded to cover the entire building, and a robust wireless network was added. The greatest challenge was the implementation of new security equipment in building. The growing need for physical security measures in college campuses required that the updated system would easily interface with the campus-wide system. Ensuring infrastructure would not interfere with building aesthetics, the system was carefully designed to provide the visibility and audit control required by the University staff.

Jewish Groups Support Reversal of NY Court's Nullification of Rabbinic Arbitration Decision
August 14, 2009 by Benjamin Wolf
As reported here, and as Mitchell Rubenstein predicted, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will consider a teacher's appeal of a Kings County Supreme Court's nullification of a rabbinical arbitration panel's decision in an employment case.
Following a dispute between the Hebrew Academy of Five Towns and Rockaway and one of its teachers, Nachum Brisman, regarding the school's decision to terminate his employment, both sides agreed to have their dispute arbitrated by a well-known rabbinic panel, the Beth Din of America. The rabbinic panel's arbitration decision favored the teacher in the dispute and when the teacher brought the decision to the Kings County Supreme Court to enforce the decision, it instead vacated it.
Now, Brisman has appealed the lower court's vacature of the arbitration before the Appellate Division. Three major orthodox Jewish organizations, the Orthodox Union, Agudath Israel of America, and Torah U'Mesorah, joined together last week to file a "Friend of the Court" brief, arguing that the Appellate Division should reverse Judge Balter's vacature of the arbitration panel's decision.
You can read the amicus brief here.
The organizations' amicus brief emphasized that their support of Brisman's appeal "should not be construed as advocacy on behalf of either party with respect to their underlying claims." Rather, they clarified in the brief that they are advocating for the reversal of the Supreme Court's vacature of the rabbinic arbitration agreement in order to prevent the weakening of the rabbinic arbitration system in general.
Indeed, it is difficult to fathom how the court could nullify an arbitration decision that both parties had agreed in advance to abide by. Such a decision seems to encourage the losing party in any kind of arbitration decision to appeal any decision if he knew that the state courts would vacate any decision that the losing party was unhappy with, as long as he could convince the court that the arbitration panel's decision is "irrational."
We will see if the Appellate Division agrees. Update 2/19/10: It does!

Warrior Institute, a non-profit in Gainesville, Fla., is dedicated to improving the lives of military veterans suffering from PTSD and/or TBI through recreational therapy and biofeedback. We initially offered to donate our services to design and develop a website, using existing content and graphic elements. The scope of work quickly changed.
The organization was originally called "WIROC," an acronym of its full name. We convinced them to use Warrior Institute instead, because it better described their target audience, was easy to enunciate, and didn't sound like a radio station's call letters. This drove the development of a new logo and identity system, which represents a core principle of the organization: We're here to help others learn to help themselves, not to do it for them.
A great deal of effort was spent identifying and clarifying key messages, making sure all content clearly communicated their goals and services to potential participants, contributors, influencers and supporters.
We eventually did end up doing their website, and a whole lot of other stuff during the process. Seeing results, and getting to know some of the participants along the way, has been extremely gratifying.


The Boho chic chest everyone has been going crazy over.
This beautiful vanity was lightly sanded with 180 then 220 grit sandpaper. The beautiful burl wood top was then stained with GF dye stain in Amber.
I needed to add some extra oomph to the front of the drawer and mirror so using Artisan Enhancements VP Antico I did a raised stenciling effect. After it was completely dry I lightly sanded the stencil to knock down any rough edges.
I spruced up this gorgeous mid century modern console with GF Coastal Blue Milk Paint on the body, followed by GFHP Flat Top Coat. I stripped and sanded the drawers and cabinet faces and legs and used The Real Milk Paint Co. Hemp Oil on the beautiful wood. I painted the interior cabinets with GF Seagull Gray Milk Paint.
This retro funky little unit has had new legs added by the previous owner and has been refinished in seagull grey on the doors and antique white on the frame.
It's a versatile piece and can be used in a bathroom, bedroom or living room! I think the legs make this piece really stand out and I have loved doing something different with the triangle at the top!
For this lovely Oak writing bureau I decided to use Coastal Blue over the whole piece and seal with High Performance Top Coat to give it an overall deep blue sheen. The interior was restained with a light oak stain to contrast with the exteriors deep blue. This piece was heavily carved on the exterior so it would have been easy to get carried away with the gilding, but I decided to focus only on the central carving running across the centre, and also gild the edging of the pull down.
This old bookshelf got a modern farmhouse face lift! I painted the outside and the shelves with 2 coats of General Finishes Driftwood, took of the backside of the original shelf and replaced with old reclaimed wood siding. The wood siding was dry brushed with General Finishes Snow White and the grey area of the bookshelf was sealed with 2 coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Flat.
Old chair was sanded and stained with GF Candlelight oil based wood stain and painted gold.Finished w/ GF satin top coat.
Body of desk was painted in a Peppery Gray and pewter metallic paint added to carved accents. Desk top and drawer fronts were stripped down to the bare wood and 2 coats of the GF Light Brown water based DYE Stain applied. A gold metallic stencil was added to top before sealing. Origianl knobs were cleaned and painted in a gold metallic to match the stencil on desk top.
This Modern Majestic Masterpiece was found at a garage sale where the owner practically wanted to pay me to take it. I wasn't about to leave this beauty behind, so I loaded her up and brought her home. The wood was dull and dry, and it had a wonderful musty smell as if it had been sitting in someone's basement for many years. She was screaming to bring her beauty back in high Mid Century Modern style and that's just what she got!
Alice in Wonderland desk featuring the White Rabbit: this is one of my favorite classics.
The desk is finished all the way around so that it can sit out in the center of the room. The shape of the desk was the perfect shape for this whimsical piece and it was fun to do!
I use decoupage to get a master image onto my furniture piece, then I paint out from the image, using a mix of my own line and paint style, striving to meld intomthe master artist's work for a seamless furniture piece. I love the challenge of matching color and style, while at the same time making the piece my own by changing the dges of the masterwork and pulling it out to fit my furniture piece.
This boring sofa table was transformed into a stunning piece of art! Using GF Seagul Gray on the entire base, followed with the product SALTWASH for texture. I then added a custom Turquoise mix on the drawer fronts, followed with GF Coastal Blue. To pull it all together I created drips with metallic silver, Turquoise and GF Coastal Blue. Truly an amazing piece of functional art for the home. One can't help but to dream of the ocean when looking at this piece.
This chest has been in my family for three generations and was built to stand the test of time. I refinished the exterior in lamp black milk paint and a deep blue with a black glaze that has brought new life and a refreshed style. I have left some of the decorative molded pieces in natural wood, adding a nice contrast to the black paint. The cedar interior remains unfinished and has that unmistakable fresh cedar fragrance.
"I so badly wanted to keep this gorgeous, shabby sofa table, but sadly I had to let it go. Refinished in antique white milk paint with a custom glazed top using seagull gray milk paint and antique walnut stain as a glaze. "
Beautiful Empire dresser with delicate veneer, so a careful refresh was in order. A light sanding and some Antique Walnut gel stain along with Arm R Seal to protect and its true beauty was brought back to the surface.
Exterior of the dresser was painted in Milk Paint Antique White. The drawers were painted with a custom blend of Persimmon, Coral Crush and Antique white to create a peachy-pink colour for a little baby girl's nursery.
"I recently finished this gorgeous Indonesian Buffet. I painted this one Black and stained the top, with Java Gel by General Finishes. I had to sand this one down to the bare wood and remove the pink paint the original owner had applied that was pealing off. "

This is a project of one family living in two houses built slightly apart from one another. One great volume of a house which covers the entire plot was supposed first. Then this volume was carved in a curve in three segments and two volumes at the both ends were built as two houses on the site.
The wood structures and finishing materials of two houses are standardized to emphasis the relations of two volumes being originally from "one great volume" and that they are one though apart. Carved volume in the middle became a courtyard leading to the approach to two houses.
Having another house for movies at night, overnight guests or work at home allows the inhabitants the liberty to do what they please at a time they want. This distance between two houses may be just right for inviting grandparents to move in someday or providing privacy to children at puberty.
The purpose of building two houses slightly apart is not the same as that of having a villa at a resort or a farm household having a main building and a barn.
This project is an experiment for allowing more life style options in the life based in the urban area.
・ Parents of the wife often visit the house、so take that into consideration.
・ There are many guests, and they need big enough space and kitchen to accommodate the guests.
・ The house is near a university. The house may be partly rented by students of the university.
The initial idea was to have two houses on the site. Then in order to signify that these houses are in close relations with one another which are inhabited by one family, this scheme of two volumes evolving from one single volume was created. A volume of gable roof house carved in a curve gives particular shape of section. Giving particular and similar section (elevation) to two houses will signify correlativity between the two.
The courtyard was expected to give moderate distance and tension between the two houses. The distance between the entrance doors of two houses was fixed for 10m, which was decided by various criteria.

FEAM Maintenance/Engineering Expands into the United Kingdom and Europe
FEAM Maintenance/Engineering, a US based MRO providing aircraft maintenance to domestic and international air carriers across 30 US locations, expands its footprint internationally with the acquisition of BOSA, a globally approved aircraft maintenance provider.
BOSA, headquartered in Handforth, Cheshire UK, provides aircraft line maintenance across all Boeing and Airbus fleet types, at Manchester International Airport (MAN), East Midlands Airport (EMA), and Teesside International Airport (MME) in the UK, as well as, Leipzig-Halle Airport (LEJ) in Germany. BOSA also provides component repair to over 5,000 aircraft parts for a multitude of airline customers within the UK and Europe. Specific component repair capability examples include waste/water, filters, galley components, and oxygen, with a focus on green, environmentally friendly initiatives.
Rounding out their capabilities, BOSA provides AOG recovery services throughout the UK and Europe, allowing FEAM to expand their On-Wing AOG Repairs Team further into the region.
The acquisition of BOSA represents a natural progression of FEAM's tremendous growth throughout the US, and allows them the opportunity to extend their world-class aircraft maintenance services to existing and new customers throughout the UK and Europe.
"We are pleased to welcome the team at BOSA into the FEAM family," remarked Cam Murphy, President of FEAM, "With this acquisition, we look forward to the expansion of our services and the FEAM brand, throughout the UK and Europe. And while the current pandemic is certainly not over, we felt the timing was right and this acquisition positions us well for the recovery in these markets."
"We look forward to working with FEAM and the Murphy family," said Robert Sykes, Managing Director and founder of BOSA, "Our businesses share similar foundations, values and a vision for growth within the UK and throughout Europe. Together we will stride forward creating exceptional service for our customers and an excellent working environment for our staff."
FEAM is the largest leading provider of aircraft line maintenance services in the United States. FEAM has maintenance bases at 30 U.S. locations, including two hangar facilities, and employs a growing workforce of over 1,200 Aircraft Maintenance Technicians and Engineers. Over the years, FEAM has diversified its MRO portfolio to include Line Maintenance, Technical Training, Global AOG Support, Technical Support Services, and Base Maintenance.

There's a reason why eyebrows are the superstars of the beauty world: one tiny tuneup can transform your entire face. That's why the makeup minimalists at UND GRETEL dreamed up a second brow enhancer, FROH Brow Bow. This tinted aloe vera-enriched brow gel is made with natural light-reflecting pigments to define, condition, and set each and every hair with the help of a tailor-made precision brush. Use FROH on its own to amp up boyish arches in all their untweezed glory, or brush it on after shaping them with SPRUSSE Eyebrow Pencil. Rich, silky brows that are always on their best behavior—all in one purse-sized tube.
