When I was fifteen I came to the conclusion that I would stop taunting my mother and actually follow through with my threats to dye my naturally platinum locks. Unfortunately, I had ZERO knowledge and used a temporary ready-to-go "black" bottle of hair dye. My hair turned ashy purple, and not in the hipster sense. I was rocking old lady chic at 15-years-old. I really should make that a t-shirt, #oldladychic.
In the eleven years since, I've cut, dyed, ombre-d, dip dyed, two-toned, highlighted, lowlighted, and shaved both my own hair and plenty of friends willing to let me enact my Doctor Frankenstein ambitions on them–but those were really just the early days. Since then I have become a "hobby cosmetologist" and have learned the color spectrum, the additives, the levels…and have, most importantly, mastered the realm of vegan, cruelty-free hair dye. With eleven years under my belt, I'm proud to now teach you which vegan hair dyes are cruelty-free, which one will be the best for you, and how to get the best looking dyed hair – EVER!
Before I dive in to my top three vegan hair dye methods, I want to address that dying hair with Kool-Aid, lemons, hair chalk, temporary hair dye, etc. have been omitted knowingly. While those are all different and legitimate options, I have found none of them to be even partially long-term.
In the two realms of long-term hair dye, there is semi-permanent and permanent hair color. Semi-permanent hair dye is great for the person just dipping their toes into the dyeing experience or for someone who likes to manipulate the shades of their hair often. Semi-permanent hair dye works by adding color on top of your hair, allowing it to wash out easier. Permanent hair dye actually penetrates the hair shafts to deposit color from the inside out. If you've ever accidentally died your hair a bizarre color with permanent hair dye and found it impossible to remove, this is why–you're trying to remove what's already inside of the hair.
While typical non-vegan semi-permanent dyes don't require a chemical developer to be added, permanent ones do. That's an additional benefit we reap from using vegan hair dye–it's not just cruelty-free, but it's largely free of harsh chemicals. Vegan hair dye is actually BETTER for your hair!
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Below I've listed the three dyes that–to this day–I use in rotation. Check them out, read their pros and cons, and I guarantee that whether you're looking to go chestnut brown or electric green, you'll find the perfect dye to give you the most brilliant hair ever.
Manic Panic has been around since the 70s, when rocker sisters Tish and Snooky brought it to the punk scene. Since then it's been one of America's most popular dyes for a reason! With over 50 color options, it's easy to get a serious case of f.o.m.o. (fear of missing out) when you're standing at a Manic Panic display in a Sally Beauty Supply. Manic Panic was the first vegan hair dye I ever used–it's my go-to for bold, vibrant colors. That's gotta be my favorite thing about it–the options. And with their color dilute solution you can easily mix and match to create a pastel color that is uniquely you. But with the bold color comes an unfortunate price–the dye bleeds really easily. I won't sugarcoat it–it will get on your pillowcases, tub, towels, and maybe even your clothing if you're caught in wet weather. Despite the bleeding, the vibrancy does stay pretty intense for a couple of weeks, with spaced out shampooing, which is why I tolerate the early bleeding for the rich hues. I also come back to Manic Panic because it has trustworthy results and is easily accessible. I know that if I want to change my hair or freshen it up, I can get a tub, or two–because I have a TON of hair–in several locations around me and have new hair with ease. If you're looking to try colors out, I'd HIGHLY recommend Manic Panic. Just make sure you cover everything around you, including yourself, when you use it!
Arctic Fox is my all-time favorite semi-permanent dye. The colors are vivacious, hard to remove, and fade to lighter shades of their former selves–no color guessing on what your now adorable bubble gum pink, candy-colored tresses are going to turn into in a couple weeks…it's green…or orange. It's ALWAYS green or orange. But not with Arctic Fox! While only being in business for a couple of years, Arctic Fox is the brain child of model and animal lover Kristen Leanne who has almost dominated with her select line of brilliant hues. Leanne really changed the semi-permanent game with her formula–it barely bleeds! This kind of staying power typically has to be done with chemicals, but Leanne somehow did it without. I'm thinking she's some sort of magical, but that's just my theory. While protective measures should still be taken during application, your pillowcases will probably sleep sound at night. This is a great hair dye for those wanting a longer-lasting change, the longest one you'll find with vegan "rainbow" hair colors. Arctic Fox is also ideal for dip dyes and ombres as the bleeding occurs less than others, making your transitions more precise. If you want to go bold, turn some heads for an extended amount of time, or have an ombre look you want to nail to a "t"–Arctic Fox is the way to go.
Ladies and gents, my number one cruelty-free hair dye: HENNA! Henna has actually been my most recent love. I think a lot of people are like myself and timid to try something unusual sounding or something they're not familiar with its process. But trust me, do it! The benefits of henna speak for themselves–adding richness and body, with no chemical or oily feeling. Will it feel weird that first time that you coat your hair in a paste that mirrors mud? Yes. It's different. But that thick consistency is easy to manipulate, with an herbaceous, sweet, and spicy smell that is actually quite pleasant–somewhere between steeped tea and chamayo. And yes, henna powder that you use for your hair is the same base for the henna that is used to create designs on the body. Henna is so versatile that you can even safely dye your eyebrows with it! It's amazing! If you're looking for the best natural color you can achieve, henna is for you! And since it doesn't wash out, you'll have a stunning shade for months!
Have you had adventures in vegan hair dye?


I recently finished reading Greg Mortenson's new book, Stones into Schools, sequel to Three Cups of Tea. I feel something rising in my heart that I have not felt for my country or the world in a very long time–hope.
St. Paul wrote that three things would always abide–faith, hope and love, and that the greatest of these is love. As one who teaches others how to create restorative culture in their classrooms and organizations–a concept firmly grounded in the idea that all behavior is the product of what we believe about ourselves, others and how we should respond to the world–I am struck by the order Paul has listed these three abiding qualities.
First, faith. For anything to become, there must first be the thought; the thought repeated until it is solid and ingrained–a belief. When we believe, we have faith. Faith is defined in the dictionary as a belief in which we have, or that allows us to have, confidence and trust. That surety, according to ancient wisdom, religious teachings (based on ancient wisdom), and "new" quantum scientific proofs, is what creates our experience (our reality) and has proven to effect physical, material matter.
When we are able to raise up our heads in confidence, with trust, believing that our thoughts and desires for a better world–for healing, for reconciliation, for peace, for beauty–our hearts are flooded with hope. Hope allows us to smile. Hope sets our feet to dancing. Hope sings.
And when my heart is so full of hope, how can I not love? When my faith and my hope have sent Fear flying in retreat, Love fills up all those spaces previously occupied by the boggart. And it is Love that permeates the entire universe; Love is the very fiber of which it is woven. So of course, of the three things that will abide, Faith, Hope and Love, the greatest would be Love. But the other two are necessary. Without them, we might remain closed off from Love, tyrannized by boggarts, even for a lifetime.
Three Cups of Tea was inspiring, but Stones into Schools renewed my faith and hope in my people, in the leaders of our military, in our future. First, to read that Greg and the Central Asia Institute (CAI) have built over a hundred schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan–most of them for girls–in the past 10 years was exciting. That many of the schools are in the heart of Taliban territory, was amazing. To know that thousands of ordinary Americans are supporting the CAI in this endeavor, including many American schools and students, was thrilling. But when I began to read about how leaders in our military, leaders such as General Mike Mullen and General David Patraeus began to consult with Greg and his organization, require Three Cups of Tea to be read by military commanding officers, and have been in full agreement with Greg's belief that terrorism will not be defeated with bombs and war machines, but by education and the building of relationships between the people of Afghanistan and Americans (military especially), hope began to break through the crust of my synicism and anger. I read the last chapters of the book with tears streaming down my cheeks. These were not tears of despair, but tears of relief and hope.
I was struck by the sheer magnitude of the mountains that have been moved by Greg's unwavering faith in the goodness of people. Despite the terrible things he has seen, the damage done by selfish, greedy and powerful people on both sides of his world, despite mistakes made by himself and others, he gets up every morning to offer his life as a gift and see what good may be done. He is not so quick to make assumptions or to judge, even when he feels angry and his heart is grieved by what he sees happening. He has learned to the very core of his being the value of hearing the other person's story. He has learned the value of first drinking tea with the other, even one you might think is your enemy.
Cannot I do the same? Could not we all?

I held a little speckled bean in my hand. I knew a strong, 18 inch green plant lived inside that tiny seed. I knew it was leafy and that from it I would harvest a gallon of long, green beans. I held the bean between my thumb and fore-finger, lifting it up to the sunlight. Then I pressed it into the earth: I would never see that seed again. A week went by. The ninth morning when I went to visit my garden, there was a tiny little plant with two tiny leaves struggling to emerge from the earth where I had pressed the seed. We would have beans.
Nearly three months have passed since I went for a series of Reconnection Healing sessions. I went desiring and anticipating healing for my body, especially for my left arm and shoulder. I went desiring emotional healing, to be freed from depression and anxiety. I went wanting a greater connection to the Divine. With the exception of one thing, my sessions were seemingly uneventful and I did not come away feeling any better. In fact, at the last session I experienced waves of anger and rage and have been rather out-of-sorts ever since! This has been a source of great confusion for me. I have held onto the one perplexing experience I did have, that, and my belief that something good is happening within me–even though just what I haven't understood.
In one of the sessions, I had a very vivid experience of sensing a Being of Light speaking to me. He told me that I was to focus on opening up my left side and my heart chakra, that once I did that, that all these things I have desired would flow to me–more than I could hold.
I had learned that our left side is the receptor side for energy, our right the giving side. It made sense to me that if my energy receptors/channels were closed down, it would make it pretty tough to receive much of any of what I was wanting–healing, understanding, success. And it would leave me chronically depleted of zest and vitality, which in fact, has been my experience for years. So, despite my disappointment and confusion these past few months, I have persevered in visualizing opening up these energy channels. I have wondered if the irritability and rage have been in part, like an emotional detox–a cleansing of sorts. Old stuff long left rotting in the corners being dislodged.
It has seemed to me that the past week or so my shoulder has felt a little better. This morning I was sending healing light to that area when I suddenly realized that perhaps the pain and "injury" in my left shoulder and arm have simply been the manifestation of the energy blockage that I created through my fear and anger in the past. The longer I kept that flow shut down, the more severe the injury and pain became. Of course. Wasn't it rather obvious?
The seeds of wisdom that we are given, will never actualize their potential if we keep them safe in a box on a shelf. But we have to know, that even when we plant them, it may seem at first as though nothing will come from it. The seed disappears into the earth of our heart, our mind, our body and perhaps there is no evidence of change for days, weeks, months, even years. Then one day, suddenly there is the tiny green plant standing happily in the sunshine, shouting how good it is to be alive!
I allow all that remains of this blockage to melt away, like fog evaporating into the warmth of the sun. It is good to be alive!

It began last Fall when I was trying to walk on the railroad track without falling off. I fell off about every fourth or fifth step. Finally I asked myself, "If I knew that the things I so badly want to manifest in my life depended on my being able to walk this rail without falling, would I walk it differently?" I thought about it for a few minutes, and then I stepped up on the rail again. I was focused and intent on remaining on the rail. And I did. All the way to where I needed to leave the track and walk down the road to my house. I have walked the rail many days since, and always, when my intention is focused, I walk the rail easily and without losing my balance.
I can't say I have been walking through my life quite as surely or as easily or with such fine balance. But the lesson has not escaped my notice. A new experiment in my life has been underway since this past September. As with any skill, I understand it will take focused practice.
This is my experiment: if I intentionally, day after day, focus on being present and in the Now–if I am able to accept what IS in the Now without resistance while still holding the images of myself and my life as I want them to be, if I focus on nurturing a positive attitude, if I daily open myself to the frequencies of Love and of Light–will I experience the changes in my life that I desire? For real?
I set my foot again upon this "rail", I find my focal point, and I walk with clear intention and determination to manifest the goals I've set.

After significant weight loss, some patients require body contouring surgery to restore tone and firmness to their skin.
is an effective solution to help rid patients of sagging skin by lifting and firming areas of the body to reveal a trimmer physique – and in the hands of a capable and experienced plastic surgeon, individuals who have completed the difficult work required to lose weight can enjoy the full benefits of their new body with safe, natural and beautiful plastic surgery results.
, body contouring plastic surgery is a method by which surgeons improve the appearance and tone of underlying tissues that support skin and fat for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and reduced their overall body size. Whether as a result of weight loss surgery or diet and exercise, major weight loss can leave skin and tissues with reduced elasticity, which results in sagging and a loose, full appearance of the skin on the upper arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, face and neck. Body contouring surgery is not for everyone, and is only recommended for individuals whose weight is stabilized: if significant weight is lost or gained after such a procedure, it can cause either additional sagging or severe stress and scarring. Therefore, it is important for patients considering body contouring surgery to consult with a board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon and develop safe, realistic goals that include a commitment to proper nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits.


Finally managed to drop the Roly Polar bear today as my second Toy Drop for The Toy Society. I dropped him on a bench in Margaret's Buildings and went off to do my laundry. I am delighted to report that he went within minutes.
In other news, Monkey has blackmailed me into letting the Happy Cornish Pasty stay so he won't be going out as Toy Drop number 3. I will have to get working on something to replace him.


Jesse Greenstein passed away in 2002. He joined the California	Institute of Technology's Astronomy Department in 1948, just as Palomar was coming on line, and has spent many of the subsequent years using the 200-inch telescope to make spectroscopic observations of faint hot stars called white dwarfs.
Let us take you back to the summer of 1995, when Jesse, then 85, came back one more time to the primary focus cage of the Hale Telescope. He brought with him the trustworthy spectrograph he had used on countless observing nights. Even after so many years, he was still captivated by the atmosphere the observing dome. And his fascination spellbound everyone who had the incredible fortune to share this experience with him.
"When the telescope was built, an observer had to ride throughout the night in the prime focus cage to ensure accurate tracking of the telescope. The astronomer ascended to the cage, eighty feet above the floor, in a specially designed elevator."
"You also had to have a tough bladder because, if possible, if it was a good night, you stayed up from seven o'clock to five. That's ten hours!"
"Working a night in the small cage high above the primary mirror, feeling closer to the stars than the earth, remains an exhilarating and unforgettable experience."

Hundreds of students could potentially be deported for enrolling at a school that never truly existed.
The University of Farmington used stock images to help appear as a legitimate and accredited institution.
The University of Farmington once had a legitimate-looking website, a college crest, and an innovative curriculum that spoke to students looking for flexible class schedules. But if you go to the university's website today, you will see none of that.
The University of Farmington was a fraud, set up by ICE to lure in illegal immigrants willing to "pay to stay." According to the Washington Post, unsuspecting "students" enrolled in classes that never existed and paid thousands of dollars in order to maintain their student status.
The Detroit News notes that Farmington was created in 2015, but the sting operation really took flight one month after Donald Trump took office. February 2017 is when Homeland Security agents began posing as university officials. Operation "Paper Chase," as it was known by insiders, continued until earlier this month.
An undisclosed number of students are affected by the operation but unsealed grand jury indictments revealed that at least eight "student recruiters" were charged with participating in a conspiracy to assist 600 students with staying in the country illegally.
WaPo reports that those enrolled at the school were mostly Indian nationals. Many of them had entered the U.S. legally after being accepted into legitimate schools but later transferred to the University of Farmington.

It's no secret when students are allowed to devise and pursue activities in which they are interested, they naturally generate ideas, hypotheses, and questions. They are ready to learn from their own ideas and we as educators have a responsibility to deliver that. We've outlined some steps for your to take in creating a stimulating environment in which the children lead the learning.
Firstly here are some ideas on how students can be leaders in the teaching environment.
During mornings some of the students can work directly with other children, while others observe, photograph or videotape the activities.
The afternoon can be spent discussing and analyzing the morning experiences, and planning for the children's next session by expanding on learning experiences which seemed to be of interest to the children.
Discussing how to progress with other students, they can meet a partner with a similar target and discuss how they're going to achieve it or teach other children how to achieve targets they already have.
Let the children teach you or a friend anything to boost confidence. For example, let them explain the nine times tables magic trick, something they learned in science, a history topic, how to make something, how to do an activity they enjoy such as roller skating or something they have learned in an extracurricular activity. You may even decide to be a little confused; this will inspire them to think of different ways to explore a topic and clarify what they have been trying to teach you.
What can children teach us?
Children provide us with new information and insights. They tell us things we don't know: the number of goals Buddy Franklin has kicked so far this season, which dinosaur is a stegosaurus, the specific powers of the latest superhero. This can lead to further learning opportunities.
To illustrate, a family day care educator told me about taking several children recently to the Ian Potter Gallery in the Melbourne CBD to see the Aboriginal art collection (and to have a train ride into the city!). Two children were using earphones to listen to information about a painting's origins. Liam, age three, announced enthusiastically, 'They just said "Federation", and we're in Federation Square!' She said that she had never thought until then about the origins of the name of this iconic Melbourne landmark. They then had a discussion about what the word means.
Children teach us about perseverance and the satisfaction that accompanies overcoming obstacles, meeting challenges and being successful. Children typically try very hard when they're motivated and interested. If you doubt it, just watch a young toddler trying to get a heavy wagon filled with dirt over a hump and the look of achievement when she succeeds.
Children teach us to notice and delight in small things. An insect, a puddle, a feather are treated as genuine treasures.
Children teach us to slow down and enjoy the present. Their propensity for getting totally immersed in an experience and for finding so much that's fascinating in ordinary places and situations is a powerful antidote to our tendency to rush toward the next thing.
Children teach us about themselves and about children in general. Assessment of children's learning and development occurs when we really attend – really look and listen – and reflect on the meaning of what we observe.
Children teach us about our professional and personal selves. We learn from children about our limits, strengths, talents and what tests us the most. Children can help us identify areas where we need to grow and learn both professionally and personally.
Children teach us about qualities that matter. Human qualities such as honesty, spontaneity, creativity and the capacity to bounce back after a hurt or disappointment are on display every day in early learning settings.
Children teach us about being open to learning from everyone and everything around us. That is an important reminder about the importance of educators' work.
Start to build children's confidence by completing our starting activities above.
Prepare a series of resources and activity cards explaining the activities.
As time passes select children to deliver different elements of the lesson, if they're familiar with a starter activity or a plenary, have them lead that.
Check out resources developed by Education not Limited, these will allow opportunities for the teacher to step back and the students to lead the learning.
Share your practice & success in our Teaching Ideas section.
Your role will be to facilitate the discussion and guide children/students towards how to question their peers, aim to teach them open ended questions, you will find a list of open ended questions on EdChat.
By allowing your children to teach you and others, they will understand that we all are continually learning and that it is not just the job of students in an educational setting. You will give your child a sense of pride and self-esteem as they explain, explore and reflect whilst they are expressing themselves and having fun.

How a 25-year-old dev made 600 apps without being able to code
By Luke Dormehl • 6:00 am, February 18, 2015
There's money to be made in them there App Stores. Photo: Jim Merithew/Cult of Mac
John Hayward-Mayhew is one of the most prolific iOS developers ever to peddle a blackjack game. Over the past four years, the 25-year-old entrepreneur flooded the App Store with an astonishing 600 separate apps — everything from endless runners such as Dangerous Caveman Bum Runner to dentistry games like Emergency Dentist Race — raking in close to $1 million in the process.
The most miraculous part of all? He can't even code.
But by taking advantage of one of the App Store's great weaknesses, and borrowing a game plan from one of Hollywood's most unusual impresarios, he's built a one-man gaming empire.
The App Store is a tantalizing prospect to developers, offering the possibility of instant riches — and the probability of interminable anonymity. With millions of apps vying for gamers' attention and few ways to cut through the cruft, it takes determination, skill and not a little bit of luck to deliver a true hit.
Apple doesn't exactly help matters.
"Apple's discovery system really isn't that good," Hayward-Mayhew tells Cult of Mac. "This is what pushed me to create the business model I did, where I'd push out 600 games rather than trying to hit it big with one app. I'm realistic about how slim the chances are of doing that."
A 6-foot-8-inch former basketball recruit for California State University, Northridge, Hayward-Mayhew got into app development while studying in 2011.
The most valuable lesson came early on: a crushing failure that plowed him into debt. "I read stories about developers and thought I was going to make so much money with my first app, because that's what happens, right?" he laughs — although one gets the sense it wasn't so much fun at the time.
Because he was unable to program the apps himself, he hired a developer to create his first game for him, based on detailed written instructions. He focused on iOS because he was an Apple user and because Android meant optimizing for an enormous number of devices.
"I racked up debt on some credit cards, and found myself owing $15,000," he says. "Then the app came out and only made a couple of thousand dollars. I had to scrape around to try and pay it back."

There's more than one way to skin a game
Hayward-Mayhew could have thrown in the towel, but instead came up with a better idea. "The source code for the game was actually great," he said. "But no one was buying it. So I came up with the idea of taking the game and re-skinning it to come up with 10 different games based on the same concept. That's when I started making money."
"Re-skinning" means taking the same basic game and changing superficial details to make it appear different — and help it appeal to different audience segments. For example, an endless runner featuring a Mario-style cartoon character could just as easily become a BMX racer game by changing a few graphics.
Today, re-skinning is Hayward-Mayhew's business model with his development company, Toochill. The strategy allows him to respond rapidly to changing tastes and put out games incredibly quickly. "A few years back there was a short-lived craze for dentist games," he says. "I took one of my existing games and turned it into a dentist game. That brought in a good amount of money."
Hayward-Mayhew's approach to the App Store borrows from methods employed by B-movie producers over the years. Back in the 1950s, producer Roger Corman used the same crew of actors and directors, and the same movie sets, to crank out cheapie hit after hit. His key strategy was to identify what audiences wanted and release quickie flicks before the big movie studios could deliver "better" films. Corman's movies didn't always possess a long shelf life, but they cost very little and brought in speedy returns. Today, he continues to produce schlocktastic fare like Sharktopus and Dinocroc vs. Supergator.

In some ways, Hayward-Mayhew is the Roger Corman of the App Store — albeit with a dose of the jockish Winklevoss twins, the two would-be Olympian entrepreneurs depicted in The Social Network.
"It's cool that I've been able to make a business out of something I love," Hayward-Mayhew says, "but this is definitely a business to me." Although he has experimented with in-app purchases and premium games, by and large he sticks to free games in which his earnings are dictated by ad revenue.
Does he think he's contributing to the downfall of the App Store by producing hordes of identical, mass-manufactured games that lack regular updates? "My attitude is, if I didn't do it, someone else would," he says.
Lessons from the Roger Corman of the App Store
So what lessons does Hayward-Mayhew have for people who would follow in his wake? First, he says, keep an eye on what's popular. Like any entertainment medium, trends come and go in the App Store — and what was popular when you started creating your app may not be popular by the time you finish it.
Second, if you hire a developer, you should agree on a price first. "I spent about three times as much as I should have with my first app," he says. "I've learned that you should never pay hourly; always agree [upon] a fixed price up front. Freelancers can run up prices in a variety of ways and your budget can spiral out of control."
Hayward-Mayhew says there is no rough guide as to what an app should cost, but he has spent as little as $300 and as much as tens of thousands developing his own. "For anyone doing this the first time, I certainly wouldn't recommend spending more than $2,000, because you're still figuring out how things work," he says.
Third, it's important to focus on marketing. "It always amazes me that people will spend so long building an app, but then they'll slip up when it comes to adding keywords or providing a compelling screenshot," he notes. "I don't focus on anything outside the App Store in terms of advertising. It's all about making my app look interesting to someone who is browsing through the App Store. Every app I make gets thousands of hits per day, but the skill is being able to convert that into downloads."

Change: The Invisible Thread in Our Work
January 8, 2015 Gali Cooks / Leadership
Change is life's only constant. As philanthropists, we will either be undergoing change or driving it throughout our time involved in giving. Whether you love it or hate it, are in a position to react to it or create it, it is critical to our success as change agents to understand how we experience change and what we can do to manage it.
What are some changes you might face—or drive—as givers?
Changing economic times
Changing political climates, whether federal, state, or local
Local changes (e.g., closing of a key social services agency, hiring of new school superintendent)
Organizational changes (e.g., new trustees or board chair, hiring a first or new staff person, changing philanthropic strategy, influx of assets)
How People Experience Change
Many theories explain how individuals come to accept change. One, the Change Curve, is particularly accessible. Originally developed in the 1960s by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, it is based on a model of the grieving process—a model Kübler-Ross proposed could be applied to any life-changing event.
Over the years, the Change Curve has become a core concept in change management, and it is often applied in business and other organizational settings. The curve and its associated emotions can be used to predict how people presumably will react to the announcement and subsequent implementation of a significant change. Individuals will progress through the stages differently, and not every individual will experience every stage.
Stage 1: Shock and Denial
What happens? Shock is usually the initial reaction to change, often due to fear, surprise, or lack of information. Although typically short-lived, it can result in negative fallout (e.g., uncertainty, confusion, a scramble to hold on to resources). After the initial shock passes, denial is common. People may try to convince themselves that the change won't actually happen, or, if it does, that it won't affect them. Some may romanticize the past and question the need for change.
What helps? Reiterate what the change is, why it is necessary, and the effects it may have. Provide as much reassurance as possible to support individuals struggling with this stage.
Stage 2: Anger and Depression
What happens? After shock and denial subside, people may start to feel anger, resentment, or fear. They may resist the change actively or passively, and feel skeptical or frustrated. The lowest point of the curve comes when the anger wears off and the realization hits that the change is a reality. It is common for morale to be low, and for self-doubt and anxiety to peak. During this stage, people may have difficulty expressing their feelings, and disappointment may occur when people acknowledge the impact of what has been lost.
What helps? Planning, preparation, and more communication are key. Consider the impact on people and the objections they may raise. Address doubts and objections early with clear communication and support. Because reactions to change are personal and can be emotional, it is impossible to preempt everything, so be sure to listen and watch carefully during this stage so you can respond expeditiously to the unexpected.
Stage 3: Acceptance
What happens? Here, individuals turn the corner. They understand that change is inevitable, so they try to make sense of what it means to move forward. People begin to work with rather than against the change. And the new opportunities begin to excite them.
What helps? Make sure people are well trained, have the resources and support to execute their new roles, and are given early opportunities to experience what the change will bring. Remind everyone that implementing change takes time. Build in time so people can learn and explore without too much pressure.
Stage 4: Commitment
What happens? Gradually, change becomes second nature. Your team or organization starts to become productive and efficient, and people embrace the improvements in the way they work.
What helps? Celebrate successes, and continue communicating and supporting the team. Regular progress reports and praise help to cement the buoyant mood. Steady support is key, because there is a risk of slipping back to an earlier stage if people feel unsupported.
Tips for Managing Change
Have a plan. A clear road map of what, when, why, and "so what" is critical to allay anxiety. People are much less anxious when they know what to expect.
Communicate often. Because change is about forging a new path, it will take effort and time. Throughout the process, constant communication is needed; without it, rumors begin.
Be specific. Change is scary, because it diverts from the known. One way to alleviate fear is to be specific about what the change is and how it is going to be achieved. "If you want people to change," write Chip Heath and Dan Heath in their book Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard, "you don't ask them to 'act healthier.' You say, 'Next time you're in the dairy aisle of the grocery story, reach for a jug of 1% milk instead of whole milk.'"
Remember head and heart. Change can stir up emotions. To effectively manage change, attend to both the rational and emotional sides of a person—the head and the heart.
Amass several quick wins. Change is easier to understand when you see it. Build into the plan several quick wins that indicate the kind of change you want to bring. For example, if your organization is committed to putting people first, giving your team an hour-long lunch instead of a half hour might signal that things are changing.
Keep in mind: Organizations don't just change because of new systems, processes, or structures. They change because the people within adapt and change too. Only when people make their own transitions—with your help—can an organization truly reap the benefits of change.

Thanks you the input. I have tried that and it pops up but doesn't let me click on anything to change it. What am i doing wrong?
I just tried it and it works form me on Mac using Numbers to open. You don't need MS Excel, Numbers will open it just fine.
You can find Numbers in the app store, not expensive if it didn't come with your Mac already.
Highlight the cell, but change the info in the address line at the top.
If you have questions, feel free to email me or pm me.
I just tried the links in the catering stickies earlier this week and the link is returning as not found error (404).
Can you verify/update the link to grab the spreadsheet.
can anyone help out with a working link to the spreadsheet?
Not working here on my end either.

Marblehead Public Schools (hereafter, Marblehead) through its attorney (Matthew MacAvoy) has filed a Motion for Recusal or Disqualification of Hearing Officer . This Ruling addresses Marblehead's Motion .
Whether the Hearing Officer's previous relationship with Marblehead's attorney (including the attorney's acting as an employment reference for the Hearing Officer with respect to his present position) should result in recusal of the Hearing Officer.
On February 4, 2002, Parents (through their advocate Robert Augustine) filed with the Bureau of Special Education Appeals (hereafter, BSEA) a Request for Hearing, alleging that Marblehead's current education placement of their son is inappropriate and unsafe.
By Order of February 13, 2002, the Hearing Officer allowed Marblehead's request for postponement of the automatic hearing date and scheduled a prehearing conference for March 8, 2002.
On February 26, 2002, Marblehead wrote a letter to the Hearing Officer describing the relationship between the Hearing Officer and Marblehead's attorney (Mr. MacAvoy) and requesting a conference call to discuss and address any conflict of interest. On February 27, 2002, the Hearing Officer conducted a conference call with Marblehead's attorney and Parents' advocate. During the call, the issue of conflict of interest was discussed, Marblehead's attorney indicated that he thought the Hearing Officer should recuse himself and the Parents' advocate stated his opposition to recusal. The Hearing Officer declined to recuse himself at that time, but he advised the parties that if Marblehead sought a more formal ruling from the Hearing Officer on this issue, it should file a motion seeking recusal.
On March 5, 2002, Marblehead filed a Motion for Recusal or Disqualification of Hearing Officer (hereafter Motion ), Memorandum of Law in support of its Motion , witness list (listing only the Director of the BSEA, Jackie Belf-Becker) and six proposed exhibits (including Marblehead's letter of February 26, 2002 and an affidavit of Mr. MacAvoy). On March 6, 2002, the Hearing Officer conducted a recorded conference call with Marblehead's attorney and Parents' advocate to discuss the Hearing on Marblehead's Motion . During that conference call, Jackie Belf-Becker's interest in this matter was discussed, and the Hearing Officer denied Marblehead's request that she be called as a witness. Parents' advocate reiterated Parents' desire to oppose Marblehead's Motion . On February 6, 2002, Marblehead filed a revised witness list (adding the Hearing Officer).
A hearing on the Motion was conducted on March 8, 2002. At the Hearing, Marblehead's six proposed exhibits were admitted into evidence without objection (marked as Exhibit 1, etc.); Marblehead repeated its request to have Ms. Belf-Becker testify, which request was denied; and Marblehead's request that the Hearing Officer testify was also denied. The Hearing Officer read into the record a disclosure statement regarding his relationship with Mr. MacAvoy. Marblehead's attorney then argued its Motion , and Parents' advocate argued their opposition. The Hearing Officer then directly asked Parents several questions to determine Parents' understanding and voluntariness of their position regarding recusal of the Hearing Officer.
Prior to becoming a Hearing Officer at the BSEA, I was employed by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (hereafter, DMH) as Special Assistant for Human Rights. My responsibilities included general oversight of the state-wide DMH human rights system.
During the time of my employment at DMH, Matthew MacAvoy represented a number of psychiatric patients at Taunton State Hospital as a Mental Health Protection and Advocacy attorney, and he was a member of the human rights committee at Westborough State Hospital. I supervised the DMH human rights officers at both of these state hospitals; and on a number of occasions, I spoke with Mr. MacAvoy regarding human rights at these two hospitals or within other parts of DMH.
In 1998 while Mr. MacAvoy was a Hearing Officer at the BSEA, I first applied for a position as a BSEA Hearing Officer. I was not offered this position. Subsequently, there were two openings for a Hearing Officer position, and in March 1999 I re-applied. I was then offered a position as a Hearing Officer, and began work at the BSEA in July 1999.
During the time when I applied for and was being considered for the positions at the BSEA, I spoke with Mr. MacAvoy (by telephone on several occasions and once over lunch after he left the BSEA) to learn about the Hearing Officer position and what it might be like to work at the BSEA. Also, I asked Mr. MacAvoy if he would be willing to be a reference with respect to my application to be a BSEA Hearing Officer; Mr. MacAvoy agreed to be a reference; and I then did use Mr. MacAvoy as a reference with respect to my application.
I have not requested Mr. MacAvoy to be a reference for me on any other occasion.
Since becoming a BSEA Hearing Officer in July 1999, my only substantive discussions or contact with Mr. MacAvoy have been within my role as a Hearing Officer.
There are a number of legal standards that either apply directly or provide useful guidance to the issue of recusal by a BSEA Hearing Officer.
The SJC has concluded that the state judicial recusal standards are equally applicable to a "disinterested person whose function is essentially judicial" – for example, a person holding a hearing, taking evidence and making findings of fact. The SJC has also explicitly found that these standards extend to administrative hearing officers, as well as masters, auditors and all other persons authorized to decide the rights of litigants .11 There is no doubt that these state standards apply to me as the BSEA Hearing Officer in the instant dispute; and by analogy, if not directly, the federal recusal standards also apply.
2. Integrity of the BSEA Process for Assignment of Hearing Officers .
Prior to applying the above legal standards to the facts of the present dispute, I address an argument of Marblehead related to one's general understanding of these legal standards.
Marblehead argues that since there is the possibility of impermissible prejudice, however remote, there is no good reason for me not to recuse myself when, as in the present case, the parties have not introduced evidence, presented substantive arguments, exchanged discovery, participated in a prehearing conference or scheduled dates for a hearing on the merits.13 Marblehead correctly points out that there are other BSEA Hearing Officers to whom this case could be assigned, and it is not uncommon within the BSEA for there to be a reassignment of a Hearing Officer for administrative reasons.
I now turn to an application of these legal principles to the facts of the present dispute.
I have made this examination and have concluded that I will be able to preside over this matter without prejudice to either party.
4. Appearance of Prejudice .
My involvement with Mr. MacAvoy occurred at several levels. First, he and I had discussions regarding human rights concerns relevant to our professional work. Second, I inquired of him regarding the role of a Hearing Officer and working within the BSEA. This was in the context of my considering and then applying for a position as a BSEA Hearing Officer. Third, I requested, received permission and then did use Mr. MacAvoy as a reference for a position as Hearing Officer, which position I then did obtain.
Marblehead focuses only on the third level of the relationship, arguing that the employment reference in and of itself is sufficient to require my recusal or disqualification. In support of this argument, Marblehead does not cite to any case law addressing the same or comparable facts, but rather relies on the general standards which I have discussed above in part D1 of this Ruling.
My review of Massachusetts and federal case law revealed only two decisions that address the issue of reference or recommendation.
What can be gleaned from these cases is that an employment recommendation or reference should not, by itself, result in an automatic or per se recusal – rather, the entire factual context should be carefully considered. My relationship with Mr. MacAvoy has neither been close nor personal. The employment reference at issue in the present dispute was an isolated instance of professional courtesy which did not change our overall relationship, and the employment reference occurred approximately three years ago. Since becoming a BSEA Hearing Officer in July 1999, my only substantive discussions or contact with Mr. MacAvoy have been within my role as a Hearing Officer.
In addressing the need for recusal when there exists a current attorney-client relationship, the SJC has noted that the attorney-client relationship is "ordinarily so close and confidential".26 In comparison, Mr. MacAvoy and I have never had a close or confidential relationship. I conclude that my relationship with Mr. MacAvoy (including the employment reference) is less significant, for purposes of recusal, than the typical attorney-client relationship.
For these reasons, I find that there is not an appearance of impermissible prejudice. Moreover, were I to find an appearance of impermissible prejudice, I would conclude that Parents have waived this claim, for the reasons explained immediately below.
5. Waiver of Claim .
The present dispute is highly unusual in that it is Marblehead (rather than Parents) that has sought my recusal even though any alleged bias would operate in Marblehead's favor (and would prejudice Parents).28 On at least three occasions after disclosure was made to Parents, the Parents indicated that they did not intend to request my recusal and they opposed any attempt by Marblehead to obtain my recusal.
Parents' advocate filed a Request for Hearing with the BSEA on behalf of Parents, and he has represented Parents in all aspects of this proceeding to date. This is not unusual. Advocates, who are not lawyers, regularly appear before the BSEA, representing students and/or their parents. Representation occurs, for example, with respect to the prehearing conference, motions, discovery and formal evidentiary hearing on the merits of the claim.
The BSEA Rules 1A and 1D explicitly allow such an advocate both to file a Request for Hearing on behalf of parents or student, and to represent the parents or student before the BSEA. On the basis of the BSEA Rules, I conclude that Parents' advocate may represent Parents regarding all aspects of the present dispute before the BSEA, including the issue of recusal of the Hearing Officer.
Moreover, even were Marblehead correct that the advocate cannot adequately represent Parents regarding the recusal issue, I am not persuaded that this should result in the Parents' being unable to make a binding decision regarding this matter.
6. Recusal Practice of this Hearing Officer with Respect to Other Attorneys .
Mr. MacAvoy's affidavit (Exhibit 6, paragraphs 18 and 19) states that as a general rule, I do not preside over BSEA Hearings in any matter in which either of two other attorneys (named in the affidavit) represents a party to the proceeding. The affidavit further provides that both of these other two attorneys were a reference for me with respect to my application for my current employment with the BSEA. These facts are not disputed.
Marblehead argues that my recusal in all such matters with respect to one of these two attorneys is an acknowledgement by me that serving as a reference constitutes a potential for perceived bias.34 At the Hearing, Marblehead pressed this point further, arguing that my practice of recusal with the two attorneys should result in my recusal in the present dispute because of the common theme of employment reference.
7. Other Procedural Rulings in This Matter .
During the process of addressing Marblehead's Motion , I made three procedural rulings which will be explained below.
· Marblehead sought to call me as a witness for purposes of the Hearing on its Motion . Through my testimony, Marblehead would have sought to establish that, as a general rule, I do not preside over BSEA Hearings in any matter in which either of two other attorneys (named by MacAvoy in his affidavit) represents a party to the proceeding because these other two attorneys were a reference for me with respect to my application for my current employment with the BSEA.
· During the Hearing on the Motion , Marblehead sought a disclosure of interest from Ms. Belf-Becker. I denied this request for the following reasons. Ms. Belf-Becker attended the Hearing on the Motion only as an observer. The only issue before me is whether my past relationship with Mr. MacAvoy requires recusal. Whether or not Ms. Belf-Becker may have an interest in this matter is not relevant to a resolution of this dispute. I also note that Ms. Belf-Becker's interest in this matter had been disclosed during my previous, recorded conference call on March 6, 2002 with the Parents' advocate and Marblehead's attorney.
For these reasons, Marblehead's Motion for Recusal or Disqualification of Hearing Officer is DENIED.
For reasons explained below, the facts contained within this particular paragraph are not relevant to this Ruling, but I include them here because these facts are relied on by Marblehead and I discuss them within the Analysis section of this Ruling.

A lawyer for an agency who later assumes adjudicatory functions that relate to that agency's work will inevitably face matters involving issues similar to those he dealt with as a lawyer. A prosecutor or a defense attorney who becomes a judge will also often find himself in such a situation. A recusal is required only if a matter arising out of the same factual circumstances and involving the same parties later comes before the judge or an adjudicator.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith , 976 F.Supp. 84, 87 (D.Mass. 1997) (dicta).

DiPina , 230 F.3d 477, 486 (1 st Cir. 2000) (since defendant had not moved below for judge's recusal or otherwise raised the issue of bias, appeals court considered it waived); United States v. Devin , 918 F.2d 280, 294 n. 11 (1 st Cir. 1990) (failure to move to recuse a judge has been held to constitute a waiver of a bias claim arising out of facts known prior to or during trial) and cases cited therein; United States v. Murphy , 768 F.2d 1518, 1539 (7 th Cir. 1985) (disqualification based on appearance of bias can only run from time motion is made or granted).
At the Hearing, Marblehead stated that it was not aware of a single decision in which the party who might benefit from any possible prejudice was requesting recusal, nor am I aware of any such decision.
The implications of Marblehead's position are clarified when one considers Marblehead's options in response to a denial of its Motion . The denial of its Motion does not give rise to the right to immediate judicial review; Marblehead must therefore wait until it receives a final decision on the merits. MGL c. 30A, s. 14; A. Cella, Administrative Law and Practice , Massachusetts Practice Series, p. 623 n. 11 (1997). See also In Re: United States , 158 F.3d 26 (1 st Cir. 1998) (only in unusual situations would an appellate court hear an interlocutory review of a judge's refusal to recuse himself). Should Marblehead lose in a final decision on the merits, its claim of bias against the Parents is moot. Should Marblehead prevail on the merits, it has no reason to appeal.
Marblehead's Motion , paragraphs 18 and 19.
Marblehead points to MGL c. 221, s. 46 (prohibiting the practice of law by anyone who is not a member of the Massachusetts bar); In the Matter of: Marilyn Arons, et. al , 32 IDELR 253 (Delaware Supreme Court July 6, 2000); Lowell Bar Association v. Loeb , 315 Mass. 176 (1943) (certain practices involving advising upon a question of law relative to taxation are part of the practice of law); Massachusetts Conveyancers v. Colonial Title , No. 962746C (Mass. Superior Court June 5, 2001) (certain conveyancing practices constitute the unauthorized practice of law). Yet, at the same time, Marblehead takes the position (with which I agree) that as a BSEA Hearing Officer, I do not have the authority to determine whether Parents' advocate is engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.
At the Motion Hearing, I made it clear to Parents that if for any reason they had concerns regarding my impartiality or objectivity and therefore would like me to recuse myself, I would automatically do so if the Parents' request was made during the Motion Hearing. I made this statement to the Parents not on the basis of the merits of the recusal issue but because there would then be a joint request from the parties for recusal prior to my addressing the merits of the special education dispute. See Police Commissioner v. Boston , 368 Mass. 501 (1975) (in making his decision whether to withdraw, the hearing officer should accord "significant weight" to the fact that both parties requested him to do so).
See W.B. v. Matula , 67 F.3d. 484 (3 rd Cir. 1995) (agreement waiving claims relevant to the IDEA, including civil rights claims, will bind parents if the court determines its execution was knowing and voluntary).
Marblehead's Memorandum of Law, pages 5 and 6.
See In re United States , 158 F.3d 26 (1 st Cir. 1998) ("Typically, cases implicating section 455(a) are fact-specific, and thus sui generis . Comparison, therefore, is an inexact science."); Diversified Numismatics, Inc. v. City of Orlando, Fl ., 949 F.2d 382, 383 (11 th Cir. 1991) (fact that judge had previously recused himself from three cases in which counsel was involved, stating that he might be biased against counsel, did not require him to recuse himself in all further cases in which that counsel was involved). I am not aware of a single state or federal decision which indicates that a comparison of the judge's or hearing officer's past practice regarding recusal would have any relevance to a determination of whether the judge or hearing officer should recuse him/herself.
Any useful analogy between my relationship with Mr. MacAvoy and my relationship to the other two attorneys would need to consider (i) the nature and length of my professional relationship with those attorneys, (ii) whether I have been and continue to be friends with those attorneys, and (iii) whether I have some doubt as to whether I could be entirely impartial were they to appear before me. See parts D3 and D4 of this Ruling.
I also note, but do not rely on, the fact that Marblehead included my name on a revised witness list submitted after the deadline for advising the Hearing Officer and the opposing party of all proposed witnesses.
I also note, but do not rely on, the fact that had Ms. Belf-Becker testified, I may have had to recuse myself, and it may not have been possible to assign the case to another BSEA Hearing Officer because of the professional relationship between Ms. Belf-Becker and the BSEA Hearing Officers. Compare Herridge v. Board of Registration in Medicine , 420 Mass. 154 (1995) (hearing officer's casual relationship with witness, which ended five years prior to the hearing, did not compromise her ability to assess the credibility and weight of the testimony, and therefore hearing officer correctly declined to recuse herself).

Young Chinese artists display creative works in various forms in NYC
0 Comment(s) Print E-mail Xinhua, June 2, 2019
NEW YORK, June 1 (Xinhua) -- A group of seven Chinese artists is presenting their creative works in New York City (NYC), offering arts lovers an exhibition with diverse artistic forms during the weekend.
Named "ON THE SPOT," the exhibition features dozens of artworks in various forms, including paintings, fashion designs and an interactive virtual reality (VR) game project.
The event, hosted by Zoe Creation, is on display at Artosino Gallery on Saturday and Sunday, gathering representative works from printmaker Zan Wang, interactive designer Yijun Xu, fashion designer Yiwei Wu, photographer Shuonan Liu, installation artist Zsa Zsa Wen, and painting artist Kathy Guo and illustration artist Yiqi Tang.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is an interactive three-dimensional VR game project designed by interdisciplinary installation artist Zsa Zsa Wen, who utilized a broad range of technological and multimedia tools
The artistic interactive space showcases the light and dark sides of people's shadows through vivid story-telling and virtual effects, which aims to inspire audience to explore the deeper side of their inner self, according to an exhibition introduction.
Three young artists made their debut in the Big Apple. Among them, Yiwei Wu presented her stylish apparels that intend to demonstrate her exploration into various human emotions such desire and panic.
Kathy Guo brought her hand-drawing paintings, and Shuonan Liu's works focus on distinctive strollers on the street.
Each artist's creative concepts are connected with designs of geometric elements in the gallery, which the exhibition organizer described as an "undefined white cube," aiming to provide audience with an art-exploring journey.
"In this undefined white cube, each singularity is an artist's self," Xiaoyue Zhang, curator of the exhibition, told Xinhua. "I hope more people to pay attention to young artists by seeing how amazing these young (Chinese) artists could be."

Anchor Borrowers' Programme: Nasarawa RIFAN urges members to repay loans
January 11, 2020 The TriumphnewsLeave a Comment on Anchor Borrowers' Programme: Nasarawa RIFAN urges members to repay loans
Alhaji Abbas Ramallan, chairman, Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN), Nasarawa State chapter, has urged its members to repay the farm inputs loan they received under the Federal Government's Anchor Borrowers' Programme.
Ramallah made the call at the Wet Season Loan Recovery meeting with local government and zonal chairmen of RIFAN held in Keffi recently.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Anchor Borrowers Programme was launched by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 17, 2015.
It is intended to create a linkage between anchor companies involved in the processing and small holder farmers (SHFs) of the required key agricultural commodities.
Ramallan noted that the programme started in the state in 2018 and no fewer than 20, 000 farmers had benefited so far.
Disturbed by the non-payment of the loan facility which was in the form of farm inputs, the chairman said that the items given to farmers in the state were on loan basis and not for free.
He said that the loan to be repaid was converted to bags of paddy which was based on the number of hectares of land cultivated.
"It is not charity; it is a revolving loan. We should do things that our children will benefit from in years to come.
"Any loan given must be paid. Individuals signed indemnity with RIFAN, as well as for others and accessed the loan so it must be paid to the last kobo. I will make sure they pay.
"The year 2020 is a year of hard work. And we must achieve our aim in the year.
"A situation where you indemnify someone that is not capable of repaying you should know you are liable and you will face the wrath of the law,'' he said.
While stating that the state was expected to provide 50,000 bags of paddy for the loan recovery, Ramallan gave the farmers a time frame of January 30 to pay up at least 80 per cent of the loan.
He, however, commended President Buhari for the effort at diversifying the economy through agriculture with the collateral-free loan for farmers in the country at large.
National Deputy Secretary of RIFAN, Alhaji Iliyasu Awodi, said that there were bags of paddy to be collected and those already collected was a far cry from what was envisaged.
"The last time we were at CBN, we learnt that there will be no anchor borrower if the association fails to pay 75 per cent of the loans collected.''
He said that if the programme was truncated, there would be a big problem for Nigerians because rice was one of the major staple foods in the country.
He therefore urged the farmers to ensure prompt payment of the loan collected for government's effort not to be in vain.
Also speaking, Alhaji Samaila Rukuba, RIFAN Consultant on Debt Recovery said that the association was an emerging platform that would ensure food security in the country.
"In spite of the border closure, we spent Christmas and New Year with enough rice. All sabotaging efforts failed,'' he said.

Q: Help me to find convergence interval for series $$\sum_{1}^{\infty} \frac{(n+x)^{n}}{n^{n+x}}$$
I have tried, but I have no idea how to do it.

A: $$\frac{(x+n)^n}{ n^n  }=(1+\frac{x}{n})^n $$
$$\sim e^x \;\;(n\to+\infty) $$
thus the general term of your series is equivalent to
$$\frac {e^x}{n^x} $$
the series converges if only if $x>1$.

Wallow: Exploring Grief through Hybrid Forms
Friday, June 14th 6-10pm
Join us at Resonator this art walk for a night of raw emotion, hybrid forms, and new connections! This group exhibition is curated by our Artist in Residence, Tracy Jane Gregory and local artist Jenna Alyse Bryan. We are excited to feature artists based out of the Bay Area and Norman/ OKC metro working in all types of media ranging from sculpture, prints and installation to video, performance and writing.
Tracy Jane Gregory Artist Statement:
Death, both grand and small, is constant, filling our days with moments of unspoken bereavement: over the shift in energy around us, over the sudden absence of light, over the loss of a belief-system or conceptualization of our identity, over an ill-conceived expectation attached to our body. Our nation's continuous upheaval only adds to these losses, and we are constantly asked to remediate this suffering, to take action, to predict the future and attempt to alter it. But, do we ever allow ourselves to exist in the present and sit with our grief, to love and understand it as another part of ourselves that will move with us into the future?
As an interdisciplinary writer and artist, I work with hybrid mediums to help myself and my audience exist in the chaotic presence of grief. Through the use of multiple forms, I am attempting to liberate my work from the boundaries of genre and create a more intimate and present relationship with my audience, for hybridity pushes up against our pre-conceived notions about art and writing, challenging us to see an individual piece for what it is and not what we expect it to be. Hybridity also allows me to communicate what is often unspoken or unconscious. When we work within a particular medium, we enter an existing conversation dictated by previous uses of that medium, but the hybrid taps into what exists between or beyond form, the abject that has no platform or the spirit who has no medium to speak through. Grief, to be fully understood, needs these characteristics of the hybrid: open and attentive divination.
Tracy Jane Gregory Bio:
Tracy Jane Gregory is a cross-genre writer, multi-media artist, musician, and queer feminist. She is an editor at Letter [r] Press, a graduate of University of Washington-Bothell's MFA program, and a teacher's assistant at City College of San Francisco. She is currently working on a hybrid book titled Helene that tells the humorous narrative of a young, queer woman navigating sexuality, religion, and the after-life. You can find Gregory's work in numerous publications, such as Sparkle and Blink, A Bad Penny Review, Best American Experimental Writing, and the anthology They Said: A Multi-Genre Anthology of Contemporary Collaborative Writing by Black Lawrence Press. For more of her work, please visit her website: tracyjanegregory.com or track her down in San Francisco, CA.

Hybrid Writing: Unearthing Form and Identity
Resonator (map)
If art is an extension of our selves, then its form should reflect our fluid and chaotic identities. This workshop gives participants an opportunity to use hybrid writing to escape the limitations of genre and explore the aspects of their art and identity that are often unspoken or unconscious.
Sponsorship Spectacular
325 E. Main St (map)
It's a little bit of a secret. Details to roll out, but essentially if you get in on this LINK before May, good things are coming your way.
2nd Friday Art Walk: Rock, Paper, Sissors
Come out for Second Friday and enjoy new work by artists Sarai Raven Huber, Margaret Kinkeade, and Ruth Loveland, three very different, but extremely complimentary, artists.
Huber, whose intricate mixed-media creations combine assemblage, weaving, quilting, knitting, and sewing, makes work that calls upon her memories of growing up, surrounded by the quilts and hand made objects her family lovingly utilized and displayed.
Kinkeade's obsessively beautiful ceramic work brings to mind the roots of American folk art and the generosity of family and community that inspired it.
The amazingly prolific Loveland works primarily in drawing and painting. Her new series "cloud of rainbows" combines compulsive mark-making with charm, innocence, and strident economy.
Together, these three powerhouse artists will delight your eyes, brighten your Art Walk, and leave you wanting more!
Check our Facebook Event for up-to-date details.

Utilizing only upright bass, bass guitar and voice, CJ creates a distinctive meditative atmosphere. Songs slowly build from singular, meditative bass lines into explosive, layered, and hugely complex walls of sound. Precariat album is his first since 2012, and is now available via pre-order on Sea Blue & Coke Bottle Green vinyl w/ Black splatter (limited to just 150 hand-numbered copies), Sea Blue/Green Vinyl, Black Vinyl, and Digital.

WHEN PARTICLES COLLIDE IS AN UNSTOPPABLE ROCK DUO
Downeast Magazine Best Summer Tour 2017
Featured music and on screen appearance in Rock Band Rivals Dec 2016
Best New Artist Boston Music Awards 2014
Semi Finalist WZLX Rock 'n Roll Rumble 2014
10 Maine Bands to Listen To Right Now Paste Magazine 2014
Rock 'n Roll is about singing and playing the truth so that we can all be a little more human, so that we can better understand ourselves through the power of rhythm, melody and verse. WPC believes this art form makes us all feel empowered, inspired, connected and unstoppable.
In March of 2010 Sasha and Chris met when they were both cast in a Bangor Maine production of Hedwig and The Angry Inch. Sasha played guitar and Chris played drums. They fell in love with playing together and later just plain old fell in love.
In January of 2011 They played their first official show as When Particles Collide and since then have been on a non-stop rock 'n roll adventure.
Since the summer of 2012 When Particles Collide has been touring the country for 9-14 weeks per year and playing consistently across New England the other 43-38 weeks. All told the duo racks up between 70-100 shows per year resulting in one of the most dynamic, engaging and professional live shows you can see at a mid sized venue.
They have released eight sets of recordings, pressed three vinyl records and made friends and fans all across the country.
They are unstoppable, and also, hard to pigeonhole:
You're onto something great when you can deliver a straightforward pop nugget that pulls from Motown, heavy metal and equal parts Joan Jett and Nancy Sinatra.....punk rock fury, metal crescendos and delicate melodic turns...groovy, heavy pop, slick, hypnotic new wave (power pop? power wave?).
-Jed Gottlieb The Boston Herald August 2016
WPC's music is an amalgam of many kinds of rock: punk, metal, grunge, Southern, classic, new wave.
- Chris Busby, The Bollard, June 2015
She (Sasha) and drummer Chris Viner make music that's hard to pin down, a powerful mix of art-rock and pop-punk.
-Josh Jackson, Paste Magazine, September 2014
Clothed in a delicious pop-punk candy shell, but inside lies a rhythmic and melodic core that's rooted in Alcott and Viner's dynamic partnership, with elements of jazz and metal creeping in.
-Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News, June 2014
They have no intention of slowing down, or giving into the conventional wisdom that rock 'n roll is only for the young. There are songs yet to be written, performances yet to give, and traveling yet to be done. Keep your eyes and ears ready for WPC's UNSTOPPABLE ROCK.
