Phil Kieran: 'I still believe in the album format. It means something'
Crafting his new album, Life Cycling, was a rewarding labour of love for the Belfast DJ

Seamas O'Reilly
Phil Kieran: 'When electronic music first came along, people were horrified that it wasn't even music. It's still strange to me how you can make machines and circuitry feel so human'
"I still believe in the album format," says Phil Kieran, when I ask why he's bringing out a long player rather than the more currently typical EP or collection of singles. "I still believe it has something to say, and to do. It might not be a career move, I'd love it to be successful and make loads of money, but as an artist I have to follow my gut and I believe in creating albums. Singles are fun, but they're almost an easy option. I get bored, I like a challenge."
Having released nearly 70 records of varying lengths, as well as three full-length albums, Kieran can't be accused of avoiding challenges. A Belfast native, he has been a dance music institution in Ireland – north and south – and dancefloors further afield, for two decades. Life Cycling, his new album on Irish label Maeve, was still a job of work.
"I spent so much time on it," he says. "Right up until the time it was getting mastered, I was making changes. It went from being an eight-track album to being a 15-track album within a year."
I ask if he has a dark George Lucas urge within himself to fiddle with and change the tracks even now that they're finished after all that time.
"A couple of tracks went from being a four-, five-minute track and then I remixed them into something else," he says. "Remember the early '90s thing, the DJ edit? Spreading things out so it's not condensed. You get this breathing space, a different kind of listening experience. Things moved around, became different versions and I'm happy with where it got to. Although obviously, you're never really fully happy, but at some point you have to let go. I like a deadline because otherwise I'll just keep changing my mind."
Oceanic depths
Life Cycling definitely has breathing space. It's a thinky, meditative album, filled with lush instrumentation and melodies plumbed from oceanic depths. It's a thoughtful record, harking back perhaps to arty synth types like Vangelis and Tangerine Dream, combined perhaps with the computerised exotica of Other People Place, or Future Sound of London. It is, in short, the sort of record that was once commonplace in dance music: an album that's actually an album, rather than a collection of disparate tracks.
'Life Cycling is more about creating a space for people to put their feelings into. An organic, warm place filled with machines and humanity and those worlds coming together'
I was going for something with optimism and hope, something that connects you with your past
"I think it's a better career move to just do singles that everyone plays in clubs," he says, when I ask if this was intentional. "But for me, in the last 10 years, it's just been about trying to create a thing that means something. Having made records for so long, when a bit of time passes you start to notice the ones that mean something and the ones that don't. And it's only those ones that that do which really matter. I found myself releasing less and less. What I want to do is create a go-to place, where each record makes me feel like 'this', it brings you into its own world. Whereas sometimes I think people just make 12 tracks and call it an album. Personally, I like an album that takes you to a single place, like Steve Reich's Music For 18 Musicians. That record is a place, and one I like staying in for an hour. When I put it on it makes me feel a certain way."
If Life Cycling is a place, then, where would we find it on the map?
"It's hard to explain," he laughs, perhaps worried he's boxed himself into a corner with his last metaphor. "It's slower, deeper maybe. Making it, I had in mind that it would be positive, energetic, deep. Pleasurable and simple, but with complexity beneath. Even happy music, I find, can seem melancholic when you listen back, but I was going for something with optimism and hope, something that connects you with your past. Whatever that means! I don't know how to describe it.
'Organic'
"I did a record called Carrousel in 2013 and that was more about my feelings. Life Cycling is more about creating a space for people to put their feelings into. An organic, warm place filled with machines and humanity and those worlds coming together. When electronic music first came along, people were horrified that it wasn't even music. It's still strange to me how you can make machines and circuitry feel so human."
Kieran still lives and works in Belfast, a fact alluded to in Life Cycling's artwork, a series of geometric designs by artist Al Kennington, but transmuted to that all-too-familiar Northern canvas: the unassuming gable of a terraced house. There, he raises two kids, produces his own records and has recently started branching out into other fields, such as the score for Prime Cut Theatre's acclaimed play East Belfast Boy. Having resisted the draw of more traditional dance music hubs, he says he has no interest in living anywhere else.
I have a British passport but I call myself Irish if I'm anywhere that isn't Northern Ireland, basically
"It's where my family and friends are," he says. "The beauty of it is you don't have to be anywhere to be creative. You don't have to live in Berlin or London or wherever. I love here, there's a darkness to the humour, we are what we are. And, creatively, I like it because it's not particularly cool or uncool, it's just where I live and I get on with it. I don't analyse it too much."
Perhaps, he says, people are surprised he lives there because they forget Northern Ireland exists. "You don't feel part of Dublin, you don't feel part of London. I have a British passport but I call myself Irish if I'm anywhere that isn't Northern Ireland, basically. But then when there's anything on British music, Northern Ireland is forgotten about, and when there's stuff about the Republic, we don't get mentioned. I'm not angry about it, it's just the way it is."
Kieran's worldly explorations were through the records that defined the early 1990s in dance music, specifically the more abstract and abstruse work of labels such as Warp Records and Basic Channel ("Early Black Dog, Autechre, Aphex Twin"), tracks that pushed sonic boundaries. "Things like that floored me," he says, wistfully.
"They were life-changing records. Me and four mates just used to sit round and put a record on, the way other people do book clubs, and play it really loud and not talk 'til it was done. Nowadays, you'd just get shitfaced and party, with music as this secondary thing in the background, but we actually studied it, really listened to it. Had our minds completely blown. That was my youth. All I cared about."
His first forays into producing music himself followed that same path, with perhaps slightly mixed results. "All during the '90s I was trying to make that kind of music, Warp weirdness. I was obsessed with it but not getting any luck releasing it. I couldn't seem to articulate or get a sound or a record together, and then I did a couple of live shows, when one track at the end had something people could dance to, and I was like, 'Wow, people dance to my music,' and my first releases came after that.
Credible artists now speak about marketing and strategy, and it does my f***ing head in
"The satisfaction of getting something coherent that people react to, when you use circuitry as a voice, as an instrument. Trying to do what is inside you is the longest journey. Those artists who can do it straight out of the blocks have my total admiration. For me it's been a journey," he says.
"A good career move is to find a sound that works and just keep at it. A lot of DJs speak about a career path. I didn't get into this, when I first had my mind blown, it wasn't a career path I had in mind. Credible artists now speak about marketing and strategy, and it does my f***ing head in. The whole point of art seems to disappear for a lot of people, and people you wouldn't think are like that, but they are. They have it all worked out as a business thing. You can't be truly artistic if you know what you're going to be doing in a few years' time. If you know what you're going to be making in six months' time, it's a sign you're not being truly creative or honest with yourself."
So how does he keep working toward the next five albums he has lined up?
"I get motivated by hearing what other people are doing," says Kieran. I ask if he means he gets so energised by amazing music that it gives him a new enthusiasm for the craft.
"No," he tells me, emphatically. "I'm more like, 'that's shit!' so I have a weird motivation to go, 'what about this instead?' I mean, if everyone just makes the same thing, all in a line, nothing is going to change."

Mr. Graham believes in the notion that we learn through play. This is of particular importance in an artistic education. These are formative times where one discovers one's voice through a medium of expression, and one must feel the freedom to try things without fear or prejudice. That said, this approach is animated through a structured curriculum instilling a discipline, hopefully, one that inspires the student to strive for excellence in both technical prowess and artistic expression. Stuart enjoys a very high success rate and the students of his preparatory programs are often accepted to higher institutions of learning (Conservatory/University) with very favourable consideration and scholarship.


This spot won an Emmy Award, but what's even better is the fact that it works really well for the client. The biggest challenge here was building awareness of the little-known issue of homeless kids, without blending in with all the other public service announcements on the air. With limited resources, we were only able to make one 30-second execution—so it had to be powerful.

Some purists might insist on a division between ice cream and gelato. They'll tell you gelato should be made from milk rather than cream, contain less than 35 per cent air and be stored in a forced-air freezer at -15C.
But just as chorizo is sausage, gelato is ice cream.
If you buy a $10 pint of gelato and place it in your -18C freezer at home, do you start calling it something else? So, for the purpose of solidarity, I'll be using that as an umbrella term of ice cream.
Toronto summers are jammed with nights that are too hot not to eat ice cream. The "do the right thing" type of heat that demands we park ourselves on a stoop and take a cream breather. In and out, cooled down, caught up on gossip and home in time for the news (by which I mean Colbert). Ice cream offers us the opportunity for a little social interaction without the hangover of brown bagging it.
But, while I am reviewing quality ice cream, I should make a confession. Once the temperature rises above 25C, I keep a box of ice cream sandwiches in my freezer at all times. And not some luxury ice cream sandwiches. I'm talking about the 12-pack Compliments brand ice cream sandwiches, the poor man's air conditioning.
The filling in these addictive little bricks is soft serve, a method of increasing the air content of ice cream to stretch the milk and sugar farther. Most of what's sold out of trucks around town is pumped so full of air it has more in common with an inner tube than real ice cream.

In Spaces for Consumption Steven Miles develops a penetrating critique of a key shift characterising the contemporary city. Theoretically informed, the other strength of the volume lies in the wealth of examples that are drawn upon to show how cities are becoming spaces for consumption, which has itself rapidly become a global phenomenon."
"This is a great book. Powerfully written and lucid, it provides a thorough introduction to concepts of consumption as they relate to the spaces of cities. The spaces themselves - the airports, the shopping malls, the museums and cultural quarters - are analysed in marvellous detail, and with a keen sense of historical precedent. And, refreshingly, Miles doesn't simply dismiss cultures of consumption out of hand, but shows how as consumers we are complicit in, and help define those cultures. His book makes a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary cities, but is accessible enough to appeal to any reader with an interest in this important area."
Spaces for Consumption offers an in-depth and sophisticated analysis of the processes that underpin the commodification of the city and explains the physical manifestation of consumerism as a way of life.
Developing the notion of 'contrived communality' Steven Miles outlines the ways in which consumption, alongside the emergence of an increasingly individualized society, constructs a new kind of relationship with the public realm.
Clear, sophisticated and dynamic this book will be essential reading for students and researchers alike in sociology, human geography, architecture, planning, marketing, leisure and tourism, cultural studies and urban studies.
In Spaces for Consumption Steven Miles develops a penetrating critique of a key shift characterising the contemporary city. Theoretically informed, the other strength of the volume lies in the wealth of examples that are drawn upon to show how cities are becoming spaces for consumption, which has itself rapidly become a global phenomenon.

His book makes a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary cities, but is accessible enough to appeal to any reader with an interest in this important area.
Challenges the accepted idea that post-industrial cities should be flagships of consumer culture. Through a wide-ranging survey of the literature, Miles shows that shopping malls, art museums, and spectacular festivals really create a less authentic experience of urban life.
Spaces for Consumption is a very important book, and perhaps the most instructive English book in urban studies published in the last five years. Its theoretical framework is rich and diversified; many quotes borrowed from other publications (either in cultural geography, urban studies, cultural studies, or sociology) are almost like little treasures because of their diversity and usefulness. Spaces and Consumption is the kind of book that puts names and concepts behind ideas and trends.
Useful background reading for students focusing on consumption for their essay or main research project topic.
This is a fantastic resource on the city. Miles goes beyond looking at the pervasive nature of consumption that has, in the past few decades, succeeded in reshaping the contemporary city and its architecture, and looks at how it produces new ontologies and realities.
The book comes alive when the epiphenomena of consumption take centre stage: the emergence of the curated city offering experience and spectacle as a form of commodity; as well as the rise of new synthetic forms of community engendered by the marriage of virtual forms of social media and the real instantiations of these experiential and spectacular environments.
Excellent book on both space/place in urban sociology and the consumptive aspects of the modern economy. Students would find a number of articles interesting, but the broader discussion around globalization would be lost in favor of focusing on a few topics. Good book for course on McDonaldization or Consumptive Spaces.

This is an extraordinary raw, first person account of the last war in Gaza. As the war begins Mohamed Jabaly picks up his camera and joins an ambulance crew. Watching the horror unfold as the crew speeds to the aftermath of each attack gives him a unique perspective on the heroism of the crew and the suffering of ordinary Palestinians.
A dizzying, frequently distressing but essential act of witness, Jabaly's deadpan commentary cuts through the rhetoric to show the stark reality of life in Gaza. Giving us a glimpse of war like no other, this vividly conveys the anger, grief and resilience of people trapped in a situation over which they have no control alongside the dedication (and humour) of the ambulance crew.
With a Q&A with director Mohamed Jabaly after the screenings at Chapter Arts Centre and Taliesin Arts Centre.


I am so thrilled that my debut novel Unshatter Me has been nominated for a Summer Indie Book Award #SIBA in the New Adult category.
Thank you so much to the person or people who nominated my book. This means so much to me. This is the first time one of my books has been nominated for a book award.
Next postYes! I Did It!!!!


This are super comfortable and good enough to wear in court.
Package arrived in good condition. Even the shoe box is beautiful.
This is a comfortable and cute shoe. It can be worn casual or dressy, with slacks or skirts, or for work or play. I am ordering a second pair in a different color!
I get so many compliments on these shoes! I have narrow feet so sometimes I am concerned about the fit, but they fit as expected. The heel high was modest and just right. The make of the shoe is very classy and attractive. The toe is not too pointed and the shoe looks just as pictured. The are also very comfortable. I would definitely buy this style again in a different color.

10 Things to Do in Messina That You Shouldn't Miss
At Sicily's northeast tip, Messina is the first city being kicked by mainland Italy's boot, just three miles across the Strait of Messina. It's a main port of entry for visitors via hydrofoils and ferries. Trains board the ferry, too, before continuing service. The 12th-century Norman cathedral, rebuilt after a 1908 earthquake destroyed it and much of the town, is the most famous attraction.

Nissan LEAF and Chevy Volt sales – which the mainstream and EV press tend to use as the barometers of EV demand in the U.S. – rose in October with the monthly sales volume for the Volt hitting a record high of 2,961.
Nissan sold a much more respectable number of LEAFs than it did during the summer, pushing 1,579 off of dealer lots.
All told, GM has sold more than 30,000 Volts in the U.S. since Volt sales began a little less than two years ago while Nissan has sold about 15,000 LEAFs in about the same amount of time.
The LEAF in particular had been slumping in the U.S. up to October. What explains the big LEAF leap forward?
Better leasing and sales deals are almost certainly a big reason behind the rise.
While the LEAF originally was leasing for nearly $400 per month with a hefty up-front lease payment of $2,999 when it was first introduced, media outlets are reporting that some Nissan dealers are offering LEAF lease rates of $219 per month.
Meanwhile, there have been reports of Volt leases of $199 per month and some dealers – including a local one we know of in Colorado – has been actively advertising a no-money down, 72 month/0 percent financing deal to buy a Volt.
Here's predicting that if Nissan and GM continue to offer generous lease/financing deals on their plug-ins, they'll continue to sell in very respectable numbers, especially the Volt, which, because it doesn't require buyers to cross the range anxiety threshold, is ultimately more attractive to most car buyers.
On the other hand, if Nissan and GM pull the current deals back, sales will certainly drop. Most Americans just aren't ready or able to pay luxury car prices for a relatively new type of automotive technology.
Five reasons for disappointing EV sales in the U.S.
Why EVs aren't more popular in the U.S.


Jason Greenblatt, the US administration's Special Envoy for International Negotiations, on Thursday met with senior Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders in Jerusalem, reportedly calling the meeting "the most important" of his visit.
Greenblatt — a close confidant of US President Donald Trump — hosted the Council of Religious Institutions in the Holy Land at the US Consulate-General in Jerusalem just before he met for a second time this week with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to one participant, Greenblatt said the 90-minute encounter, attended by both Israeli chief rabbis and the chief justice of the Palestinian Authority's Sharia court, was the most important meeting of his weeklong tour through the region.
"The leaders agreed that the search for peace must be governed by respect for life and human dignity for all people; to work together for peace, reconciliation, and a just solution; and to reject all incitement to violence," said a statement released by the US Embassy in Tel Aviv.
He said Thursday's meeting was the first time the council had gathered since 2013, though one member, Rabbi David Rosen, said this was incorrect.
At the same time, Rosen, and interfaith advisor to the Chief Rabbinate, said Greenblatt's initiative to meet with the council was "historic" in that it marked the first time in recent memory that a senior US administration official engaged in peacemaking efforts asked to meet with the religious leaders.
It was "really very strange" that former US secretary of state John Kerry, who made strident efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, ignored the religious dimension of the conflict, Rosen said.
Greenblatt, an Orthodox Jew, told Rosen that his talks with Netanyahu, PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordanian King Abdullah were all very meaningful, but that the gathering with the religious leaders to him was "the most important meeting at all," Rosen said.
Rosen said he told Greenblatt that would-be peacemakers in the Middle East often believe that religion is the source of the problem and therefore choose to entirely ignore it. But that's a fallacy, warned the British-born rabbi, who also serves as the AJC's international director of interreligious affairs.
Bishop Munib Younan, who heads the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land and presides over the Lutheran World Federation, told Greenblatt that while religious leaders cannot make peace in the Middle East, it is impossible to make peace without them, according to Rosen.
The meeting, which was scheduled to last for an hour but ended up running half an hour late, was marked by some heated discussions between Muslim and Israel clergymen over who is responsible for incitement, Rosen said.
Rosen, a veteran promoter of interfaith understanding, said he could not tell whether Greenblatt's initiative to foster an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement will have more success than previous such efforts.
The Council of Religious Institutions in the Holy Land, founded in 2005, is the "first consultative body representing the highest official religious authorities in the Holy Land (Judaism, Christianity and Islam)," according to its website.
Members includes both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi chief rabbis, the heads of the PA's sharia courts and various local Christian groups, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, the Latin Patriarchate, the Armenian Orthodox Patriarchate, the Anglican-Episcopal Church and several others.
Greenblatt has been shuttling between Jerusalem and Ramallah for the past few days, meeting with Netanyahu and Abbas and other Israeli and Palestinian top officials.
Greenblatt also met with civilian leaders from both sides. He visited, for instance, Yeshivat Hakotel, a Talmudic seminary in Jerusalem's Old City. He also spoke to Palestinian youth leaders in the Jalazoun refugee camp near Ramallah "to understand their daily experiences," as he wrote on his Twitter account.
He also met with a "cross section of folks from Gaza" who gave him "hope we can find solutions to humanitarian challenges while meeting Israel's security needs," he tweeted.

Q: Removing outliers automatically in pandas data frame I have a pandas data frame:
data = pd.read_csv(path)

I'm looking for a good way to remove outlier rows that have an extreme value in any of the features (I have 400 features in the data frame) before I run some prediction algorithms.
Tried a few ways but they don't seem to solve the issue:

*

*data[data.apply(lambda x: np.abs(x - x.mean()) / x.std() < 3).all(axis=1)]

*using Standard Scaler

A: I think you can check your output but comparing both indexes by Index.difference, because I think your solution works very nice:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(1234)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(100, 3), columns=list('ABC'))

Nats stop Mets' 6-game win streak, end own skid with split
Sep 4, 2021, 2:38 AM | Updated: 9:27 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) — Lane Thomas and Alcides Escobar homered as the Washington Nationals ended a seven-game skid, beating the Mets 4-3 Saturday night to split a doubleheader and stop New York's six-game winning streak.
The Mets won the opener 11-9, blowing a nine-run lead before bouncing back on Francisco Lindor's two-run homer in the ninth inning.
New York began the day four games behind Atlanta in the NL East and four games back of Cincinnati for the second wild-card spot.
Michael Conforto put the Mets ahead in the nightcap with an RBI single in the first. Thomas homered to lead off the bottom of the first and Carter Kieboom's single gave the Nationals a 2-1 lead.
Washington starter Josh Rogers (1-0) earned his first big league win since 2018 — that was the last year he started a game in the majors, with Baltimore.
Rogers cruised through five innings on 76 pitches and often hopped off the mound after an inning was finished. He also celebrated getting a sacrifice bunt down in the fifth to move Luis García to third. García scored on Escobar's second home run of the season.
Kevin Pillar's 13th home run of the season pulled the Mets within 4-3 in the sixth, and Rogers' night finished a batter later. In his Nationals debut, he allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and struck out five.
Kyle Finnegan pitched the ninth for his seventh save. He struck out Pete Alonso looking with the tying run on second to end the game.
Tyler Megill (2-4) pitched six innings and allowed four runs. He struck out eight.
Ahead 9-0 in the fourth inning of the first game, the Mets saw the Nationals force extra innings on Andrew Stevenson's two-out, two-run homer in the seventh that made it 9-all.
Mets reliever Trevor May (7-2) escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth. Lindor then led off the ninth with his 12th homer, connecting against Finnegan (4-6) to also score the automatic runner from second.
Heath Hembree pitched the ninth to record his ninth save.
The Mets have never blown a lead of more than eight runs in a loss, and barely avoided doing it this time.
"There's not a comfortable lead at the big league level," Mets manager Luis Rojas said. "There's not. We've got to be aware of that."
The Mets squandered a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth Friday night before recovering to win 6-2 in the 10th.
Conforto's 11th homer pushed the Mets in front 9-0 in the fourth. Mets starter Marcus Stroman gave up three earned runs in five innings.
Nationals: RHP Tanner Rainey (left side soreness) has not pitched since Aug. 12 for Triple-A Rochester. Martinez expects to talk with Rainey on Monday about whether he will finish the season pitching or will be shut down. Rainey was expected to be a key factor for the Nationals' bullpen this season, but had a 7.62 ERA before being sent down.
Mets: OF Brandon Nimmo (hamstring strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list in between games during Saturday's doubleheader. Nimmo strained his hamstring when running the bases in the opening game.
RHP Taijuan Walker (7-9, 3.89 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets in the fourth game of the five-game series on Sunday. RHP Josiah Gray (0-2, 4.73) makes his seventh start for Washington since being acquired as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mike Rallis had his younger brother draped over his shoulders and was set to dump him to the turf — as a roughhousing brother might do — when he took an abrupt blow to his ribs. In a flash, Nick Rallis was on his feet and had turned the fight around. He […]
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and will not participate in the 2023 Pro Bowl, a person with knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced officially. Tagovailoa was diagnosed […]
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — At least four more Michigan State football players facing misdemeanor charges for a skirmish inside the Michigan Stadium tunnel will likely have their cases dismissed in exchange for community service and other conditions, lawyers said Friday. "It's going to happen outside of court," said Max Manoogian, an attorney for Angelo […]
Let's play Six Degrees of Steve Wilks, a quick and easy way to connect the dots of racism in the NFL head coaching ranks. — We'll start with Kliff Kingsbury, a white coach who was fired by Texas Tech in 2018 and somehow wound up as head man of the Arizona Cardinals the very next […]


MAMCO examines in this large group exhibition the "Pattern & Decoration" movement, formed in the 1970s and that enjoyed international success in the 1980s, before fading in the decades thereafter.
Most of the artists involved were reacting against the dominance of abstract schools in the post-War era, with a particular opposition to Minimal and Conceptual art. They also critiqued the pervasive dominance of Western art and male artists in the context of modernism as a whole. Including an equal number of men and women, the group organized around "pattern and decoration" reconnected with what was widely perceived as "minor" art forms and asserted decoration as the true repressed of modernity.
Referencing ornamental motifs on wallpaper, patchwork quilts, or printed fabrics, the movement opened up Western art of the time to eclectic sources of inspiration: from Islamic decorative art, Byzantine and Mexican mosaics, to Turkish embroidery and Japanese prints, Indian rugs and Iranian miniatures. By creating works that blurred the boundaries between traditional paintings and decorative art objects, the movement's artists—men and women alike—defined their position at the intersection between artistic disciplines, spearheading a critique of the traditional demarcation between the "fine" and "applied" arts. Finally, by reviving interest in long-undervalued crafts and asserting the right to bring these techniques out of the domestic sphere and into the public world of art, they held much in common with the Feminist art movement of the 1970s.
"Pattern & Decoration" is justly viewed as an overlooked movement, but it served nonetheless as a springboard for a number of contemporary practices: taking an essentially historical approach, the exhibition aims to re-evaluate the movement and reassess its contribution in light of contemporary art today.
Essentially American, the "Pattern & Decoration" movement was supported by gallerists Holly Solomon in New York and Bruno Bischofberger in Switzerland, and was first formed by Valerie Jaudon, Tina Girouard, Joyce Kozloff, Robert Kushner, Kim MacConnel, Tony Robbin, Miriam Schapiro, Ned Smyth, Mario Yrisarry, and Robert Zakanitch, quickly joined by Cynthia Carlson, Brad Davis, Richard Kalina, and Jane Kaufman, and enlarging later to Rodney Ripps, Betty Woodman, George Woodman, and Joe Zucker.
MAMCO's exhibition, co-organized with the Consortium in Dijon, also includes several pieces by artists associated with the Supports/Surfaces group, Noël Dolla and Claude Viallat, whose work has been widely revisited and reconsidered in recent years, together with works by Lynda Benglis, Jennifer Cecere, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Sam Gilliam, Simon Hantaï, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, Alvin D. Loving, Alan Shields, and George Sugarman.

Joe and Ryan were the reason that I continued with this job today. I had received other quotes that were less expensive but these two were so kind and professional that they sold me on proceeding. They dis a very nice job and kept me informed during the process of the steps that they were taking. Good job.


Time for some more Cheezburger pics - this time of lions!
Those are good ones! hahaha!
Funny lion pictures! I liked this post!
Don't you just love that site! These ones are just so funny. Hey thanks for your great comments on my blog!
great pics. We especially liked the one with mamma and the babies.
Oh these are so funny! I enjoyed this!
Those are all great. I especially like the one with the cub and the cat.
The lion in the snow, looking up, is breathtaking; I can feel the lions soul when looking in his eyes in that particular photo.


Let me start by saying, I don't really "Do" diets. I did. Infact, I think I've tried everything from Atkins to the Celery Diet and in the past, I've bought into pretty much every pill, shake, powder and potion that has promised to get me bikini ready in time for a big event. But those days, and all those dollars, are behind me now since making the decision to take charge of my health and wellness holistically. First, I decided I needed to start learning about how MY body works. This began with a lot of reading, research and my studies at IIN. Then came a whole heap of nutritional tweaks and tests to see what made me flourish and what it was that made my energy, motivation and health take nasty nose-dives. The result is that I do eat meat. I avoid grains and legumes. I do eat the odd dollop of dairy, but mainly I eat mountains and mountains…. and mountains of fresh veggies, nuts, seeds and eggs with the occasional piece of fresh fruit. My general rule is: If I can't pick it, pluck it or kill it myself I don't eat it.
Simplifying, stepping back & dancing through chaos into clarity.


Description: A six band, broadband, G3TXQ- designed, hexagonal beam with performance on par with a two element Yagi but a much smaller physical footprint is fully tuned and ready to go. This is a plug and play antenna, not a kit. It can be assembled in an evening with no measurements or tuning needed. No traps or coils are required and a single coax feeds all bands. Available for Bands 20 – 6 meters in various combinations. All steel components are stainless and non metallic components are UV resistant. Mount on a push up mast or rooftop. The sturdy aircraft aluminum base plate has never been reported to fail by hundreds of users. A "no questions asked" 30 day refund offer comes with each beam.
You can write your own review of the Hexbeam: by K4KIO.
I brought this antenna pretty much based on the reviews here. Everything positive that has been said here is true. Great antenna. Very well packed. Excellent materials. Went together well and quickly. The only issue I had was that some of the spreaders had a small amount of sideways tilt to them. Emailed Leo who answered me within an hour. His suggestions helped somewhat but not entirely. Not to worry. Once I raised the antenna, it looked great. SWR on the ground was well within 2:1 for most bands. Upper bands were 2-3:1. Once raised to the operating height, SWR was 2:1 or less across all bands. A little unwieldy to walk up the antenna onto the mast from the ground solo. So far, get callbacks on FT-8 first time much more often than vertical I had been using for 20 meters. Quieter than vertical. Seems signal strength is 1-2 tick marks better than vertical. Overall, very pleased.
Had one on my rooftop tower last winter and was really enjoying it until the very 1st big storm of the season and wham- totally destroyed the fiberglass arms and the center assembly. Crumbled like a pretzel. Antenna was unrecognizable ice cords and all. Can not recommend at all if you get anything like Boston winters. Three years ago 9 feet of snow!
All of the good things you have read about the K4KIO hexbeam (the "KIO") are true.
Leo, K4KIO, is a living example of great customer service. He goes the extra mile.
He promptly responds to your questions or concerns, and works with you to help solve product related issues.
The KIO is made of high quality materials which look like they will last a long time. Leo recommends that you paint the spreaders to protect them from exposure to the sun. Painting the spreaders adds to construction time, but it is cheap insurance.
My previous hex beam was a great performer, but once a year it experienced a corona event, requiring replacement parts and time and labor to perform the repair. When parts became unavailable, it was time for me to consider a replacement. I'm delighted with my choice, the KIO.
The KIO is designed to avoid corona, and I believe that it's extremely unlikely that corona will be an issue with the KIO. To put this theory to the test, I have spent many hours running legal limit to the KIO. The result: a lot of DX!
Construction is straightforward, largely due to the excellent written instructions and the fact that the wires are precut and no measurements or tuning is required. SWR is as-advertised, and sufficiently low that no tuner is required on any band.
The KIO is a DX magnet that's light on your budget, but heavy on your operating satisfaction. Very highly recommended.
I just put up the antenna 3 days ago and I was surprised how easy it was to assemble it.
Explanations were detailed and clear to understand. Now it's on top on my tower with a small AR-40 rotor AND I am getting 5/9 plus most of the time. I am happy about this antenna and I am expecting to do some great DX with it.
Only gave it a 4 because it keeps getting knocked down here in the winds of Wyoming. Just put it up for the third time and keeping my fingers crossed.
Last winter wind gusts were really strong 70 - 80 mph. If the strong winds lasted a short time it might be no problem but sometimes they last for days.
The problem is with the aluminum mast to bottom plate bracket. The high winds got to flexing the 90 deg. angle until it just snapped with the Hexbeam winding up in my back yard. You need to keep those u bolt holes to a minimum so as to not weaken the bracket.
Notice where the top of the mast should fit flat against the bottom of the bracket which would reduce flexing in that direction. With the 90 deg. inside bend of the bracket being rounded, once the u bolts are tightened the top of the mast can't get any closer to the bottom of the bracket than 1/8 to 1/4 inch. you'll need to file down some of the to edge of the mast so that when the u bolts are tightened. most the mast top rests up against the bottom of the mounting bracket.
Along with making sure the mast top and bracket are tight, when you park the ant, you might make sure the part of the mounting bracket that bolts to the mast is in line with the prevailing winds so there is minimal flexing of the 90 deg. bend.
If you don't have strong winds, just enjoy as the KIO Hexbeam is operationally excellent. If it gets knocked down again, I love the ant and I'll put it up again.
After five long years baking in the Arizona sun, I collapsed the mast and removed the Hexbeam to replace the coax and perform a detailed inspection. The station was running fine when I took it down.
I upgraded to the universal mast mount system but the antenna itself required only minimal maintenance and adjustment.
Tucson isn't famous for it's ice and snow but the summer sun down here relentlessly destroys almost everything over time along with our fair share of high winds but this antenna just begs for more.
Thanks Leo K4KIO for one tough antenna. Money well spent.
It took me 3 hours to assemble. The only ant I have ever assembled that I did not have to tune.I put my rigexpert on it before I put it up on tower and all 6 bands were 1.3 or less in the center. I thought that such a silly looking ant could never work as good as the published specs. Boy was I wrong.
I am completely satisfied with the performance and construction. I have made over 400 DX contacts in the first month with ant at 35 feet.
I painted the spreaders. If you don't paint them like is recommended they will be damaged by the sun. Plan on it.
A great ant and great company.
Thanks to Leo K4KIO for such good service.
California Sun is doing it in..
Concur with AE5GG's remarks. Support cords have failed, and fiberglass is heavily oxidized by the sun. Replaced cords with larger diameter material, but I am waiting for band wires/fiberglass spreaders to fail. May replace it then with the same, or move to a SteppIr urban beam. Antenna has worked well for me.

WASHINGTON, May 11 — Congressional Republicans and Democrats alike demanded answers from the Bush administration on Thursday about a report that the National Security Agency had collected records of millions of domestic phone calls, even as President Bush assured Americans that their privacy is "fiercely protected."
"We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans," Mr. Bush said before leaving for a commencement address in Mississippi. "Our efforts are focused on links to Al Qaeda and their known affiliates."
The president sought to defuse a tempest on Capitol Hill over an article in USA Today reporting that AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth had turned over tens of millions of customer phone records to the N.S.A. since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But Mr. Bush's remarks appeared to do little to mollify members of Congress, as several leading lawmakers said they wanted to hear directly from administration officials and telecommunication executives.
The report rekindled the controversy about domestic spying.
Several lawmakers predicted the new disclosures would complicate confirmation hearings next week for Gen. Michael V. Hayden, formerly the head of the N.S.A., as the president's nominee to lead the Central Intelligence Agency.
One senior government official, who was granted anonymity to speak publicly about the classified program, confirmed that the N.S.A. had access to records of most telephone calls in the United States. But the official said the call records were used for the limited purpose of tracing regular contacts of "known bad guys."
"To perform such traces," the official said, "you'd have to have all the calls or most of them. But you wouldn't be interested in the vast majority of them."
The New York Times first reported in December that the president had authorized the N.S.A. to conduct eavesdropping without warrants.
The Times also reported in December that the agency had gained the cooperation of American telecommunications companies to get access to records of vast amounts of domestic and international phone calls and e-mail messages.
The agency analyzes communications patterns, the report said, and looks for evidence of terrorist activity at home and abroad.
The USA Today article on Thursday went further, saying that the N.S.A. had created an enormous database of all calls made by customers of the three phone companies in an effort to compile a log of "every call ever made" within this country. The report said one large phone company, Qwest, had refused to cooperate with the N.S.A. because it was uneasy about the legal implications of handing over customer information to the government without warrants.
Some Republicans, including Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, defended the N.S.A.'s activities and denounced the disclosure. Mr. Hoekstra said the report "threatens to undermine our nation's safety."
"Rather than allow our intelligence professionals to maintain a laser focus on the terrorists, we are once again mired in a debate about what our intelligence community may or may not be doing," he said.
But many Democrats and civil liberties advocates said they were disturbed by the report, invoking images of Big Brother and announcing legislation aimed at reining in the N.S.A.'s domestic operations. Fifty-two members of Congress asked the president to name a special counsel to investigate the N.S.A.'s domestic surveillance programs.
Senator Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania Republican who heads the Judiciary Committee, said the reported data-mining activities raised serious constitutional questions. He said he planned to seek the testimony of telephone company executives.
The House majority leader, John A. Boehner of Ohio, said he wanted more information on the program because "I am not sure why it would be necessary to keep and have that kind of information."
Mr. Bush did not directly confirm or deny the existence of the N.S.A. operation but said that "as a general matter every time sensitive intelligence is leaked it hurts our ability to defeat this enemy."
Seeking to distinguish call-tracing operations from eavesdropping, the president said that "the government does not listen to domestic phone calls without court approval."
The phone records include numbers called, time, date and direction of calls and other details but not the words spoken, telecommunications experts said. Customers' names and addresses are not included in the companies' call records, though they could be cross-referenced to obtain personal data.
General Hayden, making rounds at the Capitol to seek support for his confirmation as C.I.A. director, did not discuss the report but defended his former agency. "Everything that N.S.A. does is lawful and very carefully done," General Hayden said.
The law on data-mining activities is murky, and legal analysts were divided Thursday on the question of whether the N.S.A.'s tracing and analysis of huge streams of American communications data would require the agency to use subpoenas or court warrants.
Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies, said, "If they don't get a court order, it's a crime." She said that while the F.B.I. might be able to get access to phone collection databases by using an administrative subpoena, her reading of federal law was that the N.S.A. would be banned from doing so without court approval.
But another expert on the law of electronic surveillance, Kenneth C. Bass III, said that if access to the call database was granted in response to a national security letter issued by the government, "it would probably not be illegal, but it would be very troubling."
"The concept of the N.S.A. having near-real-time access to information about every call made in the country is chilling," said Mr. Bass, former counsel for intelligence policy at the Justice Department. He said the phone records program resembled Total Information Awareness, a Pentagon data-mining program shut down by Congress in 2003 after a public outcry.
The N.S.A. refused to discuss the report, but said in a statement that it "takes its legal responsibilities seriously and operates within the law."
AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth all issued statements saying they had followed the law in protecting customers' privacy but would not discuss details of the report.
"AT&T has a long history of vigorously protecting customer privacy," said Selim Bingol, a company spokesman. "We also have an obligation to assist law enforcement and other government agencies responsible for protecting the public welfare."
Mr. Specter said in an interview that he would press for information on the operations of the N.S.A. program to determine its legality.
"I don't think we can really make a judgment on whether warrants would be necessary until we know a lot more about the program," he said.
One central question is whether the N.S.A. uses its analysis of phone call patterns to select people in the United States whose phone calls and e-mail messages are monitored without warrants. The Times has reported that the agency is believed to have eavesdropped on the international communications of about 400 to 500 people at a time within the United States and of thousands of people since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Democrats said they would use the new disclosures to push for more answers from General Hayden at his confirmation hearing, set for May 18.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, predicted "a major Constitutional confrontation on Fourth Amendment guarantees of unreasonable search and seizure" and said the new disclosures presented "a growing impediment to the confirmation of General Hayden." Some members of Congress also reacted angrily to the news that the ethics office at the Justice Department had been refused the security clearances necessary to conduct a planned investigation of department lawyers who approved N.S.A.'s eavesdropping.
Mr. Specter called the denial of clearances to the department's own investigators "incomprehensible" and said he and other senators would ask that the clearances be granted to employees of the department's Office of Professional Responsibility.
Ken Belson contributed reporting from New York for this article.

As we enter graduation season, there are many stories being reported of exceptionally bright teens. Of course, there are many incredible and talented students who aren't the subject of news stories, but it is nice to read the ones that are. This is my second post chronicling black teens who have been accepted to multiple Ivy Leagues. Check out the first post here.
First up are Silver Spring, MD triplets Malik, Ahmad and Khalil Jones, seniors at the private Georgetown Day School in Washington, DC The are all student athletes with a 3.7 GPA, and are deciding between Columbia University and The University of Pennsylvania.
Next up is Patrick Peoples, a senior at The Lyceum Academy in North Carolina of Black and Argentinian descent. He applied to all 8 Ivy League schools, thinking maybe had a chance of getting into just one. He was accepted to 7, on top of getting acceptance letters from The University of Chicago, Duke and UNC. He says that he has a "big passion for social justice" and plans to study public policy and economics.
Congrats to these teens — and their parents, who helped to keep them focused and driven.

American Life League's latest resource unveils the truth about the abortion giant known as Planned Parenthood and provides tangible tools needed to rid every community in this nation of its dangerous influence," said Jim Sedlak, vice-president of American Life League.
Delivering the message that Planned Parenthood hurts communities, families, and students, American Life League has produced a four-CD set of workshops exposing the true nature of the organization and what can be done to stop the spread of its radical agenda. Each of the 12 talks on the CD set is packed with essential information about Planned Parenthood. The talks are given by Jim Sedlak and David Bereit of American Life League, two of the nation's leading experts on Planned Parenthood.
"Contrary to what many people believe, Planned Parenthood is not a benevolent healthcare organization," said Sedlak. "Planned Parenthood is a money-making machine that took in more than $272 million in taxpayer money last year and has claimed the lives of millions of preborn children through their abortion practices. The organization is bad news."
This latest American Life League project is part of an ongoing campaign aimed at informing the public about the realities of Planned Parenthood and equipping individuals with the tools to fight the organization. "We have found time and again that when people learn the truth about Planned Parenthood, they want to oppose the organization. That is precisely what these informational CDs do ? tell the disturbing truth about the nation's largest abortion provider."
Ordering information regarding the new CD set is available online.

Grammy Award-Nominated Flutist David Young to Perform Healing Music
Soul Ascension Meditations, featuring twice Grammy Award-nominated flutist David Young, will be performed at various locations throughout the Greater Boston area between August 11 to18. He will be playing two Renaissance flutes simultaneously and has been described by some as "a portal between Heaven and Earth," and a catalyst associated with out-of-body, music-inspired experiences.
Young has sold more than 1 million copies of his 59 albums of heavenly and healing music, and more than 20,000 healers and healing centers worldwide are said to use his music, reaching 300,000 people daily. Marie Diamond, one of the Nine Earth Mothers who appears in the film The Secret, says, "I had the most profound spiritual experience of my entire life while listening to David performing his Creation CD."
Young has presented more than 250 Soul Ascension Meditations nationwide. The soothing music of his flutes, along with inspired, guided spirit journeying, open the heart and mind to the most profound spiritual experience many attendees have had in their lives. Hundreds of people have said they've had visions and encounters with either Jesus, Buddha, Mother Mary, Lao Tzu or Lady Quin Yin. Experiences that people describe run the gamut from deep emotional healings and being shown heavenly worlds to encounters that are slightly humorous.
Young feels one of the most important messages that comes through is that the Ascended Masters are reachable and accessible to anybody—they will share their wisdom and love—if we only reach out to them.
Suggested love offering: $30 (no one will be turned away). Locations: Various. For more information or to make reservations, visit DavidYoungMusic.com for the four events within an hour of Boston between August 11-18.

THANKS FIREYS: The NSW Rural Fire Service Association has paid tribute to the thousands of volunteer firefighters and their families across the state who drop everything to keep communities safe when disaster strikes. Adam Hourigan
THANKYOU: The firies keeping us safe when disaster strikes
by Jackie Munro
THE NSW Rural Fire Service Association has paid tribute to the thousands of volunteer firefighters and their families across the state who drop everything to keep communities safe when disaster strikes.
RFSA President Brian McDonough said the RFSA is committed to supporting volunteer firefighters and their families year-round, but their special RFSA Volunteers' Family Days, such as the one held recently in Tenterfield, gave the organisation the opportunity to thank both RFS volunteers and their families for their ongoing efforts during times of emergency.
"As demonstrated during the recent destructive fires, our volunteers act immediately to respond, taking time away from their jobs and families, to protect people and property," Mr McDonough said.
"They are also an opportunity to thank the families of our volunteers. The success and efforts of our volunteers would not be possible without family support and flexibility during tough times."
Mr McDonough said these days also provide members with access to mental health support.
The organisation recently held a RFSA Volunteers' Family Day in Tenterfield, where the festivities were interrupted when a dangerous bushfire threatened the town.
"Ironically, during our recent family day event in Tenterfield many volunteers were called away to tackle a significant fire that threatened properties just north of town," Mr McDonough said.
"While their families enjoyed the jumping castle and face painting, we were able to deliver lunch and refreshments to the volunteers on the fire ground."
Mr McDonough said the past month has seen "hundreds of our volunteer firefighters working to tackle fires right across the state, protecting the community as the number of homes threatened by the fires continues to rise".
"These events help us check-in on our firefighters and their loved ones, to make sure they know they are supported," he said.
"It is just one contribution towards thanking our firefighters for the tireless work they do to keep the community safe."

The men tied Helen to beams and beat her on the breasts and stomach with a long, bendy willow cane.
A ring gag serves many purposes when tightly fitted on a young slavegirl's mouth. Some of these uses are merely utilitarian: she can be force-fed, face-fucked and she can have her tongue stretched or pierced. Other uses are more psychological and more appropriate as training periods. The prolonged use of one of these cruel devices, sometimes over many weeks or months, submits the slavegirl to a continuous dribbling and of course impedes the use one of the most human of all characteristics: speech. The slavegirl feels utterly humiliated and defenseless, making her break-in period shorter.
But in most cases, the prolonged use of a huge ring on a slavegirl responds to the personal whims of owners, who impose this dreadful torture on their property just for the fun of it.

Target Window - what is it?
Thread: Target Window - what is it?
Wanda Tucker
I'm discovering the way cool Navigation System Builder and have a question...what exactly is a "target window"? It's something that isn't in any sort of drop-down "choice" list (such as a page or a grid or a list of files to chose from)...so I'm at a loss with no clue.
bowenjohn
john bowen
Wanda:
The target window is the window that you want to load in a Frameset. You only use this if you are using Frames in your destination page.
Wnat is a Frameset?
Thank you, John...can you clue me in on what a Frameset is? (No, I'm not kidding...I've not run across it and don't find anything in Help about a Frameset.)
Frameset AKA Frames allows you have sub windows with in a main window using the <FRAMESET> tag.
Thanks...I got it, now. Frameset is an html tag. I shy away from code and thus my ignorance. Thank you for indulging me :)
Edward Larrabee
Former Alpha Employee
Some information about frames is at http://support.alphasoftware.com/alp..._A5W_Pages.htm
Thank you, Ed...I'll dive into it, eventually. I'm going to post a new post that may be related...borders aren't showing up in table cells, at all. Is there a connection?
Pat Bremkamp
I don't use frames, but another way cool use of the target window is to have your page appear in a separate pop up window. Use the target page "_blank". (Put in the underscore, but not the quote marks.)
Of course, pop ups have to be enabled in your browser!
Thank you, Pat. I'm sad to admit, though, that this is just getting more and more confusing to me and I don't have a lot of time right now to go into my growing list of questions. As an example, however, in looking over the code that Jerry Brightbill wrote (and was attached to this thread), Jerry states, "...Note that there are three sections to the frame set..." Okay - I get that, but the rest of his explanation doesn't make sense: "...each contains a different page..." Does that mean that each side of a border is a separate page? (I doubt that, but that's what it seems like.) Then, later in the paragraph, Jerry refers to "..the framset page..." So, I don't have a clue if it's one page or three. To top it off, the website address indicates yet another page - "Visitlist".
The result - worse than total Greek to me...
What really confuses me is why, in a navigation layout, doesn't the button simply go the link indicated? My links point to different pages. Are not these pages considered "windows"? Why indicate the link to go to a specific page when apparently that's not the "window" that the grid will end up on? Do I have to write code, using frameset, just to get the link to go to the page indicated? That's what it sounds like...I just hate code!!!
JerryBrightbill
Jerry Brightbill
Using framesets
Does that mean that each side of a border is a separate page? (I doubt that, but that's what it seems like.)
Yes, each section is its own "page". Framesets can be very confusing and add complexity and issues, but do have their uses.
If you have a frameset with three sections, you actually have 4 pages, or URL addresses involved. Each section contains a "page", which of course is not a full browser window size page, but just part of a full screen. The frameset itself is a page.
To be more accurate, a "page" is just a section of html, it doesn't have to be large enough to fill the browser's window. You can have a "page" that is just a title graphic or information, and that may be the "top" frame. It would have its own page name and address. Another "page" may just be a vertical navigation or information page that is tall, but narrow. Then there may be a "main" or body "page". Each page has its own URL address and could be opened by itself, instead of inside the frames.
To use this construction, you open the main frameset using its address. The browser, in turn, uses the information on the page to open the other "pages" using the URL for each "page" and places each in its "frame". Any action within a frame only affects the "page" in that frame. Where it gets trickly is changing one of the "pages" such as the body from a link or button in a different frame. Any such link or button must include a reference to the frame section where the new "page" should be placed.
A good reference for any html information, including frames is http://www.w3schools.com/. Another good source is http://www.irt.org/script/script.htm which has lots of information on JavaScript, which is typically used to manipulate frames.
So why go to all of this effort? Usually, it is more work than it is worth. However, if you only need to change information of a portion of the page, reloading just that frame can be faster and somewhat more appealing to the eye. If the title and navigation never change, reloading it on every page just slows the loading of the page. You can also change the header, for example, by just changing the code on the "page" that is loaded in that frame.
It is also a good way to hide the URL addresses, since the browser address bar will only show the address for the main "page" which is the frameset. Another reason to use frames is that each page can be from a different source or even a different server, since each page can be loaded with a full URL address. The frameset could be loaded from a server in California, and the body section URL addresses a server in Texas.

Linda Knight Named Chief Creative Officer At Observatory
Observatory's (l-r) Lucas Potter, Travis McMichael, Erin Schlissel, Sarah Karabibergian, Jae Goodman, Linda Knight, Benjamin Hinamanu, Caroline Doyle, Rod Kashani
Full-service creative agency Observatory is hiring former Phenomenon chief creative officer Linda Knight as its CCO, effective February 10.
Knight will replace co-CCOs Todd Hunter and Tony Fur, the team who spent their entire decade-plus careers at Observatory, previously known as CAA Marketing, and who departed at the end of last year. Knight will be responsible for leading creative efforts for the agency.
"I've admired Linda's work since we were colleagues at W+K--more years ago than either of us is willing to admit," Observatory CEO Jae Goodman said. "In the (ahem) couple of decades since, she's led global campaigns and agencies that took me beyond admiration to envy and jealousy! We're supremely lucky to call Linda an Observatory colleague."
Knight grew up in a blue-collar steel town before studying Fine Art at the Australian National University. She moved to the United States after Dan Wieden and Susan Hoffman headhunted her for Wieden+Kennedy. She spent her formative years at W+K Portland and Amsterdam, concepting global campaigns for Nike, where she worked with Goodman. She created inspirational sports work for brands including adidas, Gatorade and Beats. Among her many creative accomplishments, she completed the "sports trifecta" with Super Bowl, Olympics, and the FIFA World Cup campaigns. Prior to her role at Phenomenon, Knight was ECD at TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles, where she created campaigns for brands such as The GRAMMYs, Uniqlo and Intel.
Knight was drawn to Observatory because of its place at the forefront of content for brands, developed over years with Creative Artists Agency and strengthened when Observatory became an independent agency in 2017. Observatory has created work as varied as the global launch of Marriott Bonvoy; VCA's "Pet Friendly," a scripted episodic comedic series by Whitney Cummings; the creation of Bonobos' #EvolveTheDefinition ad campaign, which won YouTube's Ad Of The Year That Rewrites The Rules, and delivered Bonobos' best-ever return on advertising spend (ROAS); and a content-centric campaign for A-B/InBev which is Corona Mexico's best-performing campaign in Corona's 100-year history.
"Jae and the team at Observatory are delivering content and experiences that people want to engage with. This is the future of our industry: going beyond interruptive advertising to participate in and create popular culture," Knight said. "I've been admiring Observatory's commitment to innovation in our industry for a while now, and couldn't be more excited to join Jae's team."
The addition of Knight as CCO caps off a string of new hires at the agency, driven heavily by growth since Observatory first launched as an independent agency with joint backing from the Stagwell Group and CAA. "In the last two years since becoming Observatory, we've seen significant growth in terms of the number of clients, volume of content and campaigns we're producing with both established and new clients, and strong growth in top-line revenue," said managing director, Brendan Shields-Shimizu. "As a result, new employee hires were up more than 28 percent in the last year and continue to climb."
Knight is one of several significant new hires at Observatory. Travis McMichael, the former VP of brand marketing at Pollen and previous head of brand marketing at Bang & Olufsen, has been named sr. director of creative strategy at Observatory; Caroline Doyle, former head of marketing for DTC fashion e-commerce brand Inez, and Lucas Potter, former account director of Live Nation, will be brand directors; Rod Kashani, former sr. strategist at TBWA\Media Arts Lab, and Erin Schlissel, former sr.strategist from Saatchi & Saatchi will be sr. strategists; Sarah Karabibergian, former sr. art director from Barton F. Graf, will be sr. art director; and Benjamin Hinamanu, a former copywriter at TBWA\Media Arts Lab, will be a writer.
