Post jobs that begin in AY 2011 below.
Q: Thanks for this. Just a general wiki question: what do people think of this info? Will anyone not apply because of it? I was already thinking of not applying because I do american studies/literature and I wasn't sure of the material culture angle. Any ideas?
Having written the FYI, I won't apply for this job knowing their parameters. That being said, I wouldn't trust this info if I had merely read it on the wiki- I would apply if I matched the profile. I'd always hope!
Brown University's Urban Studies Program and the Department of American Civilization seek applications from urban social scientists for a joint appointment for a faculty position at the Assistant or tenured Associate Professor rank beginning July 1, 2011. The search is being conducted in collaboration with Brown University's multidisciplinary research initiative on Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences. Applicants should have a PhD in human geography or a closely related field. We seek a scholar with a strong foundation in spatial thinking and methods and interests in the natural and built environments. The successful candidate will demonstrate research promise and accomplishments appropriate to rank, and be prepared to teach courses on urban issues at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Research background should include studies that focus on American cities and that apply an urban perspective to broader issues such as, but not limited to, inequality, immigration, cultural diversity, and labor and social processes. An interest in transnational or comparative urbanism, (for example borderlands, the Pacific Rim and/or China), facility with both quantitative and qualitative research methods, with the planning field, and an interest in extending the use of digital tools to scholarship in the humanities are other favorable attributes. Candidates at the Assistant Professor level should have a PhD in hand or firmly expected by August 2011 and must show promise of significant scholarship and teaching ability. They should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and a copy of important papers. Three letters of recommendation must be received. Candidates for a tenured position at the Associate level should have a demonstrated influence on the profession by their research and publications and a commitment to teaching excellence at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and copies of important publications or working papers. They also should suggest the names of at least five distinguished scholars who can provide references. Applications must be received by November 1, 2010, to be guaranteed full consideration but will be accepted until the position is filled.
Any word on this one? Never received ack..
nope, no word at all as of 12/17. anyone else?
Nothing here- though I did hear Brown was conducting interviews. This may have been for the urban sociology search, though.

Has anyone heard anything about interviews yet? The American Studies Association Conference is just over two weeks away. I would think they would need to schedule interviews pretty damn soon right?
Nothing here (11/3) and the Am St dept at Colby doesn't even answer their phone. WTF?
ASA interview scheduled by e-mail, 11/3.
Bummer. I was really hoping for this one. But congrats to all of the interviewees!
Had interview 11/19. Has anyone been scheduled for a campus visit in February yet???
I haven't heard either. I figure we'll hear before Xmas. Don't they have some kind of weird break for December?
Still nothing. Any updates anyone?
Post-ASA rejection e-mail 3/15. Having inquired about the status of the search (via e-mail) twice over the past four months and not even receiving an acknowledgement in return, I am extremely disappointed in the behavior of this search committee. It is clear now that they had finalists after ASA, but did not find it necessary to even reply to inquiries from their long list.

Congratulations to the person who scored the ASA interview. Out of curiosity, what is your specialty (without revealing too much about yourself)?
Just saw a second position for American/Ethnic Studies listed: http://www.hercjobs.org/c/job.cfm?vnet=0&keywords=%22american%20studies%22&t4747=&page=1&site_id=793&sort=relevance%2Cdate_&jb=7650376 Posted only on HERC--I couldn't find it on HNET or the ASA site.

Did anyone apply? Any news?
I wonder if the search advanced to a short list but those in the list don't use the wiki.
Haven't heard anything either, but it seems like there must be a list, since it's getting a little late for the MLA.
Late for the AHA too. There might be people contacted for campus interviews already. I would appreciate any information on this search.
Campus interviews being scheduled. and advanced folks do glance at the wiki. mostly for our students.

i interviewed, but didn't get a call about a campus visit yet. does this mean i'm out?
If the above person has already scheduled a campus visit this likely means that you - and I - are out. We will probably be notified of our rejection by mail in the next few weeks. On to the next frustrating waiting game. Good luck to you.
American Studies position, any news?
Heard they did some phone interviews.
I called today (2/23), and they said they were interviewing candidates. I asked if a person who had not been contacted for an interview were out of the running, and they said no one is definitely out yet. But...my opinion is, it doesn't look good for someone like me!
Received an EEOC form from them TODAY (5/10/11). Thought that was so weird I checked this wiki for news.

I had the same response looking at the website, but am applying anyway.
Any movement here? I know that the department had a "semi-finalist" list some time ago and asked for letters of rec from those folks by no later than 2/2. I also know UNM was shut down from 2/2 to 2/6 due to the energy crisis in the state. But I'd be interested in knowing if anyone was invited to campus and when.
Does anyone know who got this? Was it their VAP?
Who is the lucky winner? Is it indeed David Correia?

In this video, you'll see how to make a classic egg salad sandwich. The key to this video is the method for cooking the eggs, which ensures the eggs are never over-cooked. The creamy salad is made with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, green onions, and a little paprika. Watch the video, then get wifeyluvs2cook's 5-star recipe for Delicious Egg Salad for Sandwiches. It's also a delicious way to use up leftover Easter eggs.
I love egg salad never use onion in mines maybe i'll try it .
I wouldn't make it. I like my eggs mashed instead of chopped, and I don't put green onions in anything My niece would like it.
Creamy avocado replaces the mayonnaise in this quick and easy egg salad.
With mashed chickpeas and powdered seaweed, you can create a convincing substitute for tuna in these tasty chickpea "tuna" salad sandwiches.

A Rundown of All the Food You Can Eat at Tramsheds
REVIEW BY CONCRETE PLAYGROUND
It's here. It's finally here. After many, many announcements and much anticipation, today at 12.30pm Tramsheds Harold Park opens its doors to the public. And can we tell you, it looks epic.
The massive revamp of the heritage-listed Rozelle Tram Depot now features a European-inspired market hall lined with bespoke retailers, from butchers and bakers to fried chicken and fresh pasta makers. Basically, it's enough to make your eyes weep with sweet, sweet happiness tears (and maybe some of anxious indecision). Each of the retailers — which include some of Sydney's biggest food names, as well as some newbies — have created a stunning space to serve their nosh, with most offering takeaway as well as produce to take home and cook. There's a supermarket, a nail salon and a gym, but the food is where it's at. It'll be open seven days a week for brekkie, lunch and dinner, so there's ample opportunity for gorging.
We got a sneak peek at the site ahead of its opening today, September 22. So here's a rundown of all the things you should eat and drink. Go.
BUTCHER AND THE FARMER
Quasi celebrity chef Jared Ingersoll (ex-Danks Street Depot) is behind this one, and considering his last few ventures — helming the kitchen at Hunter & Barrel and Barrel and Beast pop-up — were focused on meat, it seems like a natural progression for him to open a butcher. Although this isn't your ordinary butcher. You can head in to pick up some top-quality cuts of meat, but it's also a huge all-day 300-seat restaurant. When they open today, they'll be serving up whole animals roasted over coal as well as an impressive charcuterie and pickle selection. They also have a private dining option which is inside a motherflipping tram.
Open for: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What to eat: hot-smoked lamb 'ham' with mint, peas and sugar snaps.
BEKYA
This is something a little bit different for Tramsheds: Egyptian food. Bekya is doing an Egyptian-Middle Eastern menu in a mezzanine-like area filled with greenery. They make their own flatbread, and you've got to try the koshari, which is a beautiful mess of lentils, rice, macaroni, chickpeas, tomato salsa and fried onions. It's delicious.
Open for: lunch and dinner.
What to eat: koshari.
Garçon is a new cafe from The Little Marionette team. It sits at the entrance so you can enter either through Tramsheds or without entering the venue proper, so it's your go-to for a takeaway or sit-in coffee — it has some really awesome amphitheatre-like cushioned seating arrangement around the coffee roaster. Best part is, they'll turn into a bar at night serving espresso martinis.
What to drink: espresso martini.
FLOUR EGGS WATER BY A TAVOLA
If you've been to A Tavola in either Darlinghurst or Bondi, you'll know what to expect here. But like the name suggests, the main focus at Tramsheds is pasta. They have a pretty epic pasta-making setup on display to everyone walking past, and you can both sit down for a bowl of the good stuff, or take it away to cook at home.
What to eat: eggplant and scarmorza-filled 'pilin' with butter and sage.
Bodega has some of the best seats at Tramsheds. We mean that quite literally — their custom-made stools that line the bar are really, really nice. This is an offshoot of Bodega in Surry Hills, and the teams from the restaurant and Porteño have created a tapas menu that's very well-suited to the whole Tramsheds vibe. Plus, there's a wine store.
What to eat: escabeche of Spring Bay mussels.
OSAKA TRADING CO.
This one comes from the Tokyo Bird team. Like their Darlo restaurant, Osaka is doing some killer Japanese cocktails and bar food. They're serving up a potentially life-changing scallop with sweet soy butter and a really, really good gin yuzu cocktail with honey.
What to eat: grilled Hokkaido scallop with sweet soy butter.
FISH & CO.
Tramsheds' very own fish and chippie. All the fish here is wild-caught using sustainable fishing practices, and you can eat in take away or buy your own fish to cook at home. Definitely get the beer-battered fish with the rosemary chips.
What to eat: fish and chips (duh).
Nothing new here, folks — just another notch in Messina's Sydney domination belt. They'll do all the regular scoops as well as cakes.
What to eat: you already know.
MAMA'S BUOI
This is Mama's Buoi's third Sydney outlet (they've got restaurants in Surry Hills and Crows Nest) and this one is doing pretty much the same thing. They'll be serving up casual Vietnamese food and Asian-inspired cocktails.
What to eat: pulled duck pancake with pineapple.

The "Fine Line Between Romance and Reality" in Creating the World of 'Mank'
Having collaborated with David Fincher — and each other — on previous projects such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl, costume designer Trish Summerville and production designer Donald Graham Burt were both aware of the director's long-gestating project Mank before it ever got the greenlight.
Nikki Baughan
Fincher had wanted to make this 1930s Los Angeles-set period piece about screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz and his troubled writing of Citizen Kane for director Orson Welles ever since his journalist father Jack penned a screenplay in the late 1990s; Fincher Sr died in 2003 with the script still in a drawer. When Netflix approached Fincher about making a film following their collaboration on crime series Mindhunter, the director immediately suggested Mank and brought Summerville and Burt onboard.
"It was a project that I really wanted to be a part of," says Summerville. "Being black and white, being a period setting, being with David, it's the kind of film that's a once-in-a-lifetime chance." Burt, too, felt an instant connection. "It's a period Los Angeles film-industry movie, and I immediately fell in love with it."
Fincher's film was to be an authentic emulation of a 1930s movie, featuring real-life locations and characters including Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman), Welles (Tom Burke), media titan William Randolph Hearst (Charles Dance), MGM boss Louis B Mayer (Arliss Howard), producer Irving Thalberg (Ferdinand Kingsley) and Hearst's girlfriend, actress Marion Davies (Amanda Seyfried). That meant research — and lots of it.

Australian supermarket chains have been unable to keep up with the demand of residents of the state of Queensland stocking up on food as authorities warned thousands heavy rain and the risk of flooding could last for more than a week.
Almost a fortnight of flooding made it difficult for supermarkets to keep shelves full and it's left Queenslanders frantically looking for food.
Panicked locals in the north of the state have bought out entire supermarkets over the past few days, with photos (below) showing the true extent of the problem.
"The shops in Townsville are insane, literally can't get so many things from any stores, insane," a local wrote.
As a result, Chains like Woolworths and Coles have been working around the clock to secure supplies for the flooded regions, local media News reported.
A plane filled with Coles' groceries was due to touch down in Cairns on Tuesday with some of the supplies being driven down to Townsville.
The Bruce Highway between Cairns and Townsville was recently reopened, however locals are being warned there is still water over the road.
"Yesterday Coles chartered a plane to deliver fresh produce, groceries and bakery flour to flood-affected Townsville and Cairns stores," a Coles spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
"We are also investigating alternative delivery routes with trucks from Adelaide and Darwin on the roads to deliver to other flood-impacted areas of Far North Queensland.
Woolworths is also working hard to get food into the region, securing a barge and filling it with 300 metric tons (MT) of groceries while also chartering two planes.
"While the road access up north has been challenging, we've secured a barge to deliver 300 tonnes of fresh food, nappies, baby formula and other essential items," Woolworths Northern Queensland operations manager Tina Anandji was quoted as saying.
The barge is expected to arrive in Townsville tomorrow filled with an extra 30 contingency containers carrying essential lines such as water, long life milk, baby formula, beans, noodles and toilet paper.
Two charter planes with 40 tonnes of fresh food and essentials were also due to land in Cairns on Tuesday.

The City of Miami Plans to Reconcile With Ultra
We always love second chances.
In fall of 2018, Miami cut ties with Ultra after a 20-year relationship at Bayfront Park. With less than 6 months until the event, the festival was forced to relocate to The Virginia Key. Unfortunately, 2019's lackluster venue did not meet the standards of the original location.
Ultra made an official statement after the event, confirming they would not return to The Virginia Key and had found a new spot. However, plans have changed as the CIty of Miami proposes they return.
Francis Suarez, the Mayor of Miami, stated that the annual event has a great economic influence on the city, leading them to request reconciliation.
"I was always a long-term supporter of Ultra as commissioner because I really felt that it went to the brand of the city, Suarez stated, we had the attention of the world during that week similarly to Basel during Art Basel week for the arts community."
The council realized they do not want to run businesses out of the city, especially if it embodies it. The official hearing for its renewed contract takes place June 27th.

#There isn't really much here that can be refactored, at least not from what I can discern

# Reflection

# What were the main differences between this die class and the last one you created in terms of implementation? Did you need to change much logic to get this to work?

# I was not sure how to implement this at first. The outline of code that was provided in the GitHub repository did not specify including a variable called labels, but that was the only way I could forsee it working. So, this Class is working with three variables, not two. Also, the argument and the number of sides in this program are not the same, as they were in the first class, so it took awhile to figure that out and get it working the way it should.

# What does this exercise teach you about making code that is easily changeable or modifiable?

# Having precise variable names helps a lot when figuring out what exactly each variable is doing in the code. The name sides is somewhat misleading, as is the name labels. I wish it were something like 'faces,' which is why I changed it in my refactor. To me, that makes what that variable actually represents more clear. This code was relatively easy to change/modify because of its simplicity and its clarity.

# What new methods did you learn when working on this challenge, if any?

# I did not learn any new methods when working on this challenge.

# What concepts about classes were you able to solidify in this challenge?

# I am getting a better handle on what classes do and how they function. I do not think I would be able to write one with perfect syntax without consulting a reference first, but I am sure that this will come with time.

910 F. 2d 1571 - United States v. Buchanan
910 F2d 1571 United States v. Buchanan
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Collin BUCHANAN, Defendant-Appellant.
Seventh Circuit.
Submitted July 31, 1990.*
Decided Aug. 27, 1990.
Jeffrey Anderson, Asst. U.S. Atty., Madison, Wis., for plaintiff-appellee.
Donald J. Murphy, Madison, Wis., for defendant-appellant.
Before COFFEY and FLAUM, Circuit Judges, and PELL, Senior Circuit Judge.
PELL, Senior Circuit Judge.
In this case we are asked to decide whether police would inevitably have discovered cocaine stored in the appellant's hotel room. The facts of the case are these: on December 6, 1988, Kevin Evans was shot to death with a nine millimeter or .38 caliber handgun in Columbus, Ohio. Three witnesses were available to testify that the appellant in this case, Collin Buchanan, known to the witnesses as "Silver," was the assailant. Immediately after the shooting, Buchanan packed his belongings and took a taxicab from Columbus to Zanesville, Ohio. He told the cab driver that he planned to take an eastbound bus from Zanesville. Columbus police obtained an arrest warrant for Buchanan and filed a wanted person report with the National Crime Information Center. Buchanan already had a record as a felon convicted of drug offenses in the state of New York.
Buchanan came to the attention of the Madison, Wisconsin, police on December 23, 1988. A man named Lorenzo Phillips told police that a man (later identified as Buchanan) had a large amount of crack cocaine and was holding Phillips' girlfriend until she paid $500. Police found Buchanan, but the girl denied that she was being held against her will. A search of Buchanan's car failed to result in the discovery of either drugs or weapons.
On January 4, 1989, police were informed that a man matching Buchanan's description was selling cocaine out of his car in a parking lot, and that the seller wanted to trade cocaine for a nine millimeter handgun. Another tip about Buchanan was received on January 9. On January 11, 1989, Detective Pharo of the Madison police department sent Buchanan's fingerprints to the FBI Identification Office. The FBI identified Buchanan and informed the Madison police of the Ohio murder warrant.
Detective Pharo called the Columbus police to learn more about the warrant and about Buchanan. He was told that Buchanan had shot Evans with a nine millimeter handgun and that the motive for the shooting had been a $200 drug debt. Detective Pharo issued a bulletin about Buchanan to all Madison police on January 12.
In a short time, Buchanan's car was spotted. The police followed him to the West Towne Roadstar Inn, where the desk attendant confirmed that a man answering Buchanan's description was registered in the hotel under the name of Darryl Bailey. Officers took up a position in the room opposite Buchanan's and other officers secured the corridor. Detective Pharo asked the hotel manager to get Buchanan out of the room on a pretext. When Buchanan emerged into the hallway, he was arrested and the self-locking door to the room swung closed. The key to the room was clutched in Buchanan's hand. The police took the key from him and executed a quick sweep of the room to see if there was anyone else there. They found nothing.
Detective Pharo then asked Buchanan what he wanted done with his clothes. He said he would have someone pick them up the next day, but Pharo told him that no one else would be allowed into the room and that police would pack for him. Buchanan did not object to police handling his clothes, but he insisted on watching while they did so. While stuffing Buchanan's clothes into a duffle bag, officers discovered a three-beam scale of the type used in drug deals and small packets containing cocaine. The packing was stopped immediately while a search warrant was obtained. Only then was Buchanan informed of his Miranda rights.
The search conducted under the warrant revealed 125 grams of cocaine. As a result, Buchanan was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He filed a motion to suppress the evidence seized at the hotel room on grounds that it had been taken in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The magistrate heard evidence and recommended that the motion be denied on grounds that discovery through proper means was inevitable. The evidence was admitted at Buchanan's one-day jury trial, at which he was convicted. It was only after the trial that the district judge received Buchanan's objections to the magistrate's report and recommendation. She ruled that the objections were timely, and that the magistrate had not adequately developed the record on the question of inevitable discovery and remanded for the taking of additional evidence. After a supplemental hearing, the magistrate reached the same conclusion, and further found that Buchanan had freely consented to having the police remove his clothes from the room. This report and recommendation was accepted by the district court, which then sentenced Buchanan to forty-one months in prison. Buchanan filed a timely notice of appeal.
The issue in this appeal is whether the cocaine discovered when Buchanan's clothes were being packed would inevitably have been discovered through a search pursuant to a proper warrant. Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 443-45, 104 S.Ct. 2501, 2508-10, 81 L.Ed.2d 377 (1984). To answer this question, we must answer two subsidiary questions: first, would the police have inevitably sought a search warrant for the room, and second, would a neutral magistrate have issued such a warrant. Because we answer both those questions in the affirmative, we hold that the motion to suppress evidence was properly denied, and we affirm the conviction.
The first question is an easy one; Buchanan was arrested for murder, and the murder weapon had not yet been found. The defendant was located in a hotel room which he occupied under an assumed name. The magistrate cited Ringel, Searches and Seizures, Arrests and Confessions (1988) for the proposition that an application for a warrant to search the room for the gun would have been "proper and predictable police investigatory procedure[ ]." Id. at Sec. 3.3(b). Indeed, it would have been foolish not to want to look for the gun there. Buchanan was suspected of drug dealing in addition to murder, and guns are tools of the drug-dealing trade. United States v. Alvarez, 860 F.2d 801, 829-30 (7th Cir.1988), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 109 S.Ct. 1966, 104 L.Ed.2d 434, (1989).
Buchanan's principal argument on appeal is that a neutral magistrate would not have found "a fair probability" that the gun would be found in the hotel room. Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238, 103 S.Ct. 2317, 2332, 76 L.Ed.2d 527 (1983). Fair probability has been interpreted to mean "that it would be reasonable to seek the evidence in the place indicated in the affidavit." United States v. Peacock, 761 F.2d 1313, 1315 (9th Cir.) (Kennedy, J.), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 847, 106 S.Ct. 139, 88 L.Ed.2d 114 (1985). Buchanan's position is that the police and the magistrate could not reasonably expect a criminal to keep a murder weapon with him for thirty-seven days (the time between the murder of Evans and the search in Madison) or to keep the weapon at his residence. He relies on United States v. Charest, 602 F.2d 1015 (1st Cir.1979) for the proposition that there is no probable cause to believe that a murder weapon will be found in a suspect's home.
In Charest, the defendant was named as the killer of Dennis Raimondi sixteen days after Raimondi's murder. The First Circuit wrote:
Common sense tells us that it is unlikely that a murderer would hide in his own home a gun used to shoot someone. If defendant shot Raimondi, as the affidavit states, one of the first things he would do would be to get rid of the gun. The handgun could easily have been disposed of permanently within a short time after the crime. It is not reasonable to infer that the defendant drove from Somerset to Fall River [Massachusetts] and then casually placed a weapon which had fired more than one bullet into a man on the shelf in his bedroom closet.
602 F.2d at 1017. The court noted that ballistics is a well-known science. In sum, the Charest court held that some nexus had to be shown between the gun and the defendant's home, and that no nexus was established.
We believe that this case is significantly different from Charest, and that the differences establish that it would be reasonable to seek the Ohio gun in Buchanan's Wisconsin hotel room despite the passage of time. The principal difference between the cases is that Charest was living openly in a home he had apparently occupied for a long time whereas Buchanan was a fugitive living in temporary quarters under a false name. Anyone looking for Charest knew exactly where to look--he could always be found at his Fall River home. Someone looking for Buchanan would have to have the foresight to ask at the right hotel for Darryl Bailey. Buchanan could reasonably be supposed to have made the gun unavailable by making himself unavailable. And, as the magistrate noted in his second report and recommendation: "One traveling in fugitive status is highly vulnerable and is necessarily constrained in movement and activity. The value of a firearm to such a person cannot be underestimated." Beyond even Buchanan's fugitive status, he was also believed by police to be involved in drug dealing even before any cocaine was found. As we have already noted, guns are tools of the drug merchant's trade. United States v. Alvarez, supra.
The fact that Buchanan was believed to be trying to exchange drugs for a gun some days before the arrest and search does not mean that it was unreasonable to suppose that he might still have the original gun. Buchanan was a convicted felon and could not buy a replacement weapon legally. He was a fugitive and may not have had friends in Madison from whom he could get another gun. The attempt to trade drugs for guns could have been an attempt to get another weapon before discarding the murder weapon. There were no reports about whether Buchanan had succeeded in making his swap. Therefore, it was reasonable to believe that a search of Buchanan's hotel room had a fair chance of discovering the gun used in the Ohio murder. The narcotics would inevitably have been found in a search for the gun. Therefore, it was correct to deny Buchanan's motion to suppress that evidence. The conviction is
After preliminary examination of the briefs, the court notified the parties that it had tentatively concluded that oral argument would not be helpful to the court in this case. The notice provided that any party might file a "Statement as to Need of Oral Argument." See Fed.R.App. P. 34(a); Circuit Rule 34(f). No such statement having been filed, the appeal is submitted on the briefs and record


I am delighted to be a member of the AUS Elementary Administration as the Elementary Principal. I'm originally from Jacksonville, Florida. I bring over seventeen years of experience in the field of education. I have experience in both the U.S. and international schools in a variety of socio-economic settings. The breadth of my educational experience is in the primary and early childhood years. I truly enjoy supporting students and teachers in the foundation years of their social, emotional and academic development. I believe the goal of 21st century education is not, "what to learn" but instead "how to learn". The mastery of the "how to learn" is what students require to meet the challenges of the ever-changing world both inside and outside the classroom. As educators in the 21st century, it is critical that we model lifelong learning, and its various forms in our daily interactions with students and faculty.

There's never been a better time to experience Chicago, Broadway's razzle-dazzle smash. This triumphant hit musical is the recipient of six Tonys®, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy®, thousands of standing ovations, and now the #1 longest-running American Musical in Broadway history.
Set amidst the decadent 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines. Chicago has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen.

Gisele Bündchen releases a $700 coffee-table book
How much would you spend on a collectors' tome about the model?
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen will be debuting a limited-edition coffee-table book in November to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her career, which will be priced $700 (approximately £460).
The book, co-curated by the Bündchen herself, will feature over 300 photographs of the 35-year-old supermodel, including nude shots and images taken by iconic industry names such as David LaChapelle, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh and Corinne Day. Just 1,000 copies of the publication will be available, and each will be personally signed by Bündchen herself.
In a statement about the upcoming release, German publisher Taschen said the pictures would be "accompanied by tributes from Gisele's closest friends, family and fashion leaders, who shed light on how and why she has become one of the greatest models of all time."
Celebrating the model's 20-year milestone with a special-edition book isn't so unexpected: the Brazilian beauty has held the title of the world's highest-paid model for the last nine years after all.

We ended up going out to Llandudno for the day. I think the main reason for this was because we had received £20 of Love2Shop vouchers and decided we HAD to buy Deadpool! Our closest HMV is Llandudno since they closed the Bangor store.
We had lunch in Debenhams where we all had cake and MissMostyn made a hell of a mess…. I always try to pick up what I can but unless I have a dustpan and brush then I can't pick it all up.
On the way back from HMV I stopped in The Works (I do love this shop!) to have a browse and ended up buying some writing paper. Now if I had known that my Bullet Journal was going to fall apart later that day then I would have bought some wash tape to fix it with but alas hindsight is a great thing.
We stopped by Acme Games (hubby's mecca at the moment) and I had a look through their impressive Pop Vinyls collection. I was tempted by Wall E and Dumbo but decided against it. In the retro games shop around the corner there was a Murloc Pop but we didn't have cash to buy it.
After getting back to the car we went home via the scenic route of Betws Y Coed, Nant Gwynant and Beddgelert. The great thing with going this route is that you get to see Snowdon from every angle. It was a beautiful day and we got to pass Llyn Gwynant where they filmed some of the Tomb Raider film.
We decided to have a Chinese takeaway for supper because our fridge was rather empty so whilst waiting for it I decided to compile my shopping list in my Bullet Journal…. which then promptly fell apart!
It was Father's Day here in the UK (but I believe it's the same day worldwide?). The girls had made Father's Day cards at nursery – but apparently they don't do this in schools? Don't get me started on this subject!
We went out for a meal with hubby's parents. We went to The Mulberry in Conwy Marina. The food was nice enough but there wasn't enough gravy for my liking. Also it could have done with more veg – in fact my husband had to actually ask for more potatoes since he only had 2 roasties on his and everyone else had a couple of new potatoes on their plates as well. I had the beef dinner and I must admit the beef was lovely.
The rain caught up with us and so hubby's plan to mow the lawn fell flat. After getting home we debated over staying in the car for a bit and having a snooze because both girls were asleep. But the rain was so heavy we decided to go in and have a snooze on the sofa.
We put the Formula 1 on – first race in Azerbaijan! Hubby slept through it and I slept for most of it – we were just so tired. I did see a couple of laps and it looks like an amazing track! Street circuit around the old castle in Baku. I had never considered Azerbaijan a country I'd like to visit but it's now on my radar.
To finish the weekend I phoned my Dad because I couldn't go to see him since he was working all weekend. Haven't spoken to him in a while so it was good to catch up.
What a great day! Don't worry, you didn't miss a lot, the track is stunning, the race not so much. I was impressed with Baku and Azerbaijan, I hope they will keep it in the calendar.
Thanks for linking up to #ThisLittleBigLife! I LOVE The Works – all those random crafty bits they have hidden away up the back.
love the handmade fathers day card.


Datchet Autumn Series, 23rd November…!!
No doubt having looked at the weather forecast and hearing the heavy rain falling on Sunday morning, the more sensible sailors of the fleet decided to stay in bed. However 4 crews did rock up and race in what turned out to be an increasing, if cold, wind.
Along with the usual autumn series crews of 3954 (John and Helen) and 3427 (Mike and Ian), Roger and Richard put in an appearance in 3642 as well as Stephen and Nigel in 3703.
After a postponement to allow marks to be moved and boats to make it to the other end of the water, the fleet got underway and it soon turned out to be effectively a match race between Stephen and John, with Roger trying to overhaul Mike after being a little late to the start. Stephen and Nigel got to the windward mark just ahead of John and Helen, only to round and not hoist their kite. John and Helen launched straight away and managed to gain ground back on the first tight reach. At the gybe mark, John was just behind but on the inside and through the next light and shifty leg managed to creep over Stephen to take the lead at the leeward mark. At this point they appeared to shift up a gear and slowly increase their lead all the way to the finish. Mike held onto third position and Roger was fourth.
Although the breeze was increasing, it was by no means steady and there constant shifts and veins of breeze meaning the first beat of the second race was an interesting affair with John Stephen and Mike swapping places on a number of occasions with Stephen eventually getting to the windward mark first followed by John, Mike and then Roger. Stephen and John started to pull away from Mike and Roger meaning 2 distinct races were in progress for the rest of the course. Eventually John overhauled Stephen, and Mike managed to keep ahead of Roger, meaning the result was exactly as it was for the first race.
With only a few races left in the series, John (3954) has a commanding lead, followed by Richard (4011) and then Mervyn (3536).
National Rankings – 2014 Round Up……!!
This is the final report from Tom Waples on the National Rankings analysis. It's the overall summary of our season.
To me, at least, the most obviously striking thing is the breadth that the Class has have this year. This is true on venues, winners, fleet sizes, boat ages etc. Pretty good too has been the strength of the "Top 5", that is to say the FF Association Championship programme.
Take a look and see what you think….
Rankings – PYC and HISC Lead The "Top Clubs" List…..!!
In the third analysis that Tom Waples has extracted from the 2014 Rankings, we have results by Club.
It's pretty interesting reading. For sure I thought it would be all about HISC, but arguably our Top Club on some ratings is Parkstone. PYC tops the table for number of competitors in the Rankings (16 boats) and is second to HISC in the points table!!
There's a long list of teams participating in the National Rankings – around four dozen. Of course, we should peel back the number of Clubs with just one or two teams competing, but that still leaves us with 20 strong or very strong Club Fleets represented on the circuit. A pretty strong performance for any Class this decade.
2014 Rankings – Deep Dive 2 – Crews ….!!
You will remember from a couple of days ago that Tom Waples has started giving us his extra Rankings Analysis on the 2014 season.
Today we get to see what Tom has discovered in terms of Crew Rankings.
First up – we learn celebrity crews move around! The names are not necessarily associated with the helms name these days – and King of this Mountain is Richard Rigg !
The other piece I see is that our most travelled crews are Helen Selden and Howard Shawyer, both from Datchet and both with 7 events each!
Datchet Autumn Series Update ….!!
Having had 9 crews out the previous Sunday, 7 crews braved the lashing rain to rig for this Sunday's racing, including 2 newcomers using Mervyn Wright's boat 3536 as he was the Race Officer for the day. After a slightly delayed start whilst the Race Officers organised the racing areas for both the club sailing and the Cat End of Season races, the first race got underway on a long starboard-rounding course.
Sadly, 3954 (John Hanson and Helen Selden) were so keen to get underway they were a little early for the start and had to go back, ending up getting over the start second from last. 4011 (Richard Jones and Howard Shawyer) and 3888 (mike Firth and Phil Tinsley) led most of the fleet out left whilst 3954 slowly reeled them in playing the shifts up the middle of the course, so that they were 2nd going around the top mark with 3888 leading and 4011 in 3rd. Despite their best efforts 4011 couldn't overtake 3954 over the next two reaches and so the order remained the same going into the second lap. At this point 3954 seemed to find an extra gear and managed to overtake 3888 on the beat and extend their lead for the rest of the race, taking the gun. 3888 tried valiantly to retain second but on the last gybe mark, 4011 overtook them to take 2nd. 3427 (Mike Clapp and Ian Klyne) came in fourth, followed by 3521 (Trevor Brant and John Watling), 3536 and 3562.
Unfortunately, Phil Tinsley (in 3888) couldn't carry on for the second race due to a bad back, and so the fleet was now 6 for the second race. Our star guests, Alastair and Ben from Australia, were trying out the Flying Fifteen loan program – and helm and crew in 3536 swapped over for this race whilst FF Fleet Captain, Mervyn Wright,shortened the first beat before setting the fleet off. Again, ever eager to get racing, 3954 (Hanson and Selden) were over the line at the start with 3536 and so both had to go back and try again. In this time 4011 took a commanding lead, but were eventually overhauled by 3954 on the third beat. 3427 did very well taking third over the line and 3536 managed 4th in this race.
Due to a large RS End of Season event at Datchet this coming weekend, there will be no club racing, so the fleet will be re-convening on 16th November for the next round in the autumn series.
Ovington Inlands – Your Last 2014 Chance to Race Against our Double Worlds Heroes…!!

Parkstone Winter Series – Race 4….!!
Saturday the 25th of October saw 22 boats on the start line for 2 races. The first race was race 4 of the Parkstone winter series. A great course was set by the Osman family with a good beat followed by 3 nice reaches which resulted in planing in the gusts. Two rounds were sailed. The race started in a Westerly force 4 with the wind oscillating through 15 degrees and a changing tide. The first beat saw both sides of the fleet looking good at different times. At the first mark Crispin Read Wilson and Steve Brown were in the lead and managed to hold this to the end and held off a charging David Tabb and Chewey Sherrell. Graham and Ben Scroggie were third after pulling off a daring mark rounding on the reach to reach mark and stealing at least 6 places.
The second race was a part of the short mini series which is raced on every other weekend. The Osman's set a good windward leeward course for this. The tide had also changed so inevitably the class saw a general recall. 4 boats were over the line and this resulted in some silence at the finishing line. The race was won convincingly by Bob Alexander and Huw Willetts, 2nd were Chris Gorringe and Nadia Hosie with Adrian Tattersall and Andy Murphy in 3rd.
It was good to see the last 4 boats in each race only separated by a few seconds showing the close racing all the way through the fleet. We also welcomed back Peter and Jo Allum after Petes leg operation. However it wasn't so nice for past Commodore Barry Rolf as we looked back to see Pete on Port colliding with Barry who nearly capsized. I'm told the Barry actually got one foot on the keel. All fun and capers here at Parkstone.

National Rankings – Final Event ….!!
Another great Flying 15 season comes to a close at Draycote Water for the traditional and popular sprint event. 12 teams enjoyed close, tight racing in the 7 races.
So after 9 months and 22 events, spanning the England and Scotland the class has two new Champions! Steve Goacher takes the Helms title and Richard Rigg, the Crews title…both sailors of Royal Windermere Yacht Club!
The 2014 Flying Fifteen Season Finale took place on Saturday 18th October and what a finale it was! Competitors for the Draycote Sprint Open sponsored by Mercure Brandon Hall Hotel and Spa, were greeted with excellent sailing conditions especially for October! 18 degrees, sunshine and force 4 to 6 south westerly winds, marvellous! Competitors included 5 of the Top 10 from UK NationalsOne of the home teams was Iain Christie & Simon Roberts in GBR797, its first outing in winds over ten knots since its fantastic restoration by Iain.
With an undetermined number of races to be sailed and with each race to last around 30 minutes, Richard Pye (Principle Race Officer) and his team commenced the racing on schedule at Midday and set an excellent windward/leeward course, with a leeward gate. This led to some close and exciting finishes with places being won and lost on the line.
The first race saw a clean start and with the fleet keeping close together, Greg Wells & Richard Rigg popped out in front to lead round the first mark only then to forget about the hitch mark. By the time they realised and went back, they were at the back of the fleet. This left three boats to battle it out over the next three laps, Richard Lovering & Matt Alvarado, Ian Cadwallader & Nick Stone and the home team of Jeremy Davy & Martin Huett. After a close finish Richard & Matt crossed the line first followed by Jeremy & Martin from Ian & Nick. The rest of the fleet closely followed with the exception of Iain & Simon who got into trouble after jibing and thus filled the boat with water. As we all know classic boats are not good at removing water quickly. After much bailing, they finally got ashore. Unfortunately they missed the next race but did manage to start the third race only for the main halyard to break.
Race two quickly followed with Richard & Matt repeating the result of the first race this time followed home by Greg & Richard making amends for their seventh place in the first race, with Jeremy & Martin in third. A twenty minute on the water break was then taken to allow the competitors to recover mentally as well as physically! It felt more like five!
Race three saw the emergence of the home boats, and after the first beat three had broken away from the main fleet, Jeremy & Martin in front followed by Simon Patterson & Simon Thompson with Kevin Holliday & Richard Glen in third. And this is how they finished with both Simon & Simon and Kevin & Richard recording their best result of the event. Race 4was a repeat of Race 1 with Richard & Matt, Ian & Nick and Jeremy & Martin battling it out at the front, however the final result was completely different with Jeremy & Martin in first, Ian & Nick in second and Richard & Matt in third.
Race 5 and another clean start but for once Jeremy & Martin had a poor first beat which they never managed to recover from and recorded their worst finish so far being fourth. Meanwhile, Greg & Richard joined Richard & Matt and Ian & Nick up front but only could manage third with Ian & Nick taking their first victory. By now, tiredness was starting to set in both mentally and physically but luckily the wind was starting to ease.Only eight teams stayed out to compete in what they hoped would be the final race but it was the usual suspects up front which Jeremy & Martin recording their third win, followed by Richard & Matt and Ian & Nick. Once all the fleet had finished, the PRO decided there was plenty of time to hold one more race. So, after six thirty minute races, Jeremy & Martin led Richard & Matt by just one point. Not that anyone had any idea what the scores were by that stage!
Race 7 and another clean start (making six out of seven and even then only one team was over the line) which again saw the top three teams overall battling it out all the way up the first beat this timed joined by Richard Hope & Mike Stenson. Unfortunately Richard & Mike could not match the pace of the front three and at 5.00pm finished in fourth, one place ahead of Simon and Simon who ended up finishing fourth overall. Finishing just in front of Richard & Mike in third was Ian and Nick to take third overall. This left Jeremy & Martin and Richard & Matt to fight it out at the front with the winner takes all. In the end, after five hours of racing, Jeremy & Martin prevailed thus defending their title winning the Gifford Trophy, leaving Richard & Matt in second overall. Despite recording two retirements and five did not starts, Iain & Simon won the Full Frontal Trophy and the FFalcon Cup, much to their surprise! So congratulations to Jeremy and Martin.
Our thanks go to Mike Stenson and Mercure Hotels for sponsoring the event and providing some of the best prizes on the circuit. Thanks also go to Richard Pye and the Miracle fleet for running this fantastic event. We look forward to hosting the event next year and welcoming more visitors to take part in this unique event on the open meeting calendar.
Results Flash from the Draycote Sprint….!!
Seven races at the Sprint this year !! Report to follow.
Southern Travellers Final Review 2014….!!
Over the four events of the series held at Llangorse, Broxbourne, South Cerney, and Middle Nene there were a total of 40 teams competing from 9 Clubs with 7 qualifiers for the overall results.
The Classic Fleet with 21 entries and 5 qualifiers had the strongest support with 2700 Neil Bartholomey and Emma Brown (Middle Nene) having a battle at the top with 2606 Bob Tait and Mick Musgrove (Broxbourne) which was decided on the last race at the final event, where 3031 Brian Turner and Jackie Burns (Broxbourne) also secured 3rd. All of the top boats sailed in at least 3 of the 4 events, giving themselves the advantage of a discard in the final results.
The Silver Fleet attracted 11 entries (2 up on last year) with 2 qualifiers, 3341 Mike Firth and Phil Tinsley (Datchet) bettering last year's winners 3374 Tony Oatley and Tim Greaves (South Cerney).
The Open Fleet had 8 entries from 4 Clubs but none of the teams qualified for the overall results.
Perhaps in contrast to reports from some of the other F15 events general rule observance and courtesy on the water was never an issue, which made for very satisfying and fair sailing.
Everyone who sailed in the Series was full of praise for the organisation, enthusiasm and hospitality shown by the Host Clubs – the evening Dinner and social afterwards at Middle Nene was once again the bench mark for future years!
Plans are already being made for next year – any suggestions or recommendations on how to improve the series and get even more travellers "hooked on" to take part in STS 2015 are always welcome.
Finally, many thanks to all those who took part this year, both on the water either in the Race Management Teams or as Competitors and on shore as essential support for the whole STS Series, without you we wouldn't have a Southern Traveller Series!
Season Finale – Draycote Sprint Coming Up…!!
This Saturday (18th October 2014) Draycote Water Sailing Club will host the Flying Fifteen "Sprint" – the grand finale to the 2014 Flying Fifteen season!
Richard Lovering and Matt Alverado (2013 top-ranked FF team).
The Sprint is the last opportunity for FF sailors to earn 2014 National Ranking points and, with everything still to play for in each of the ranking categories, the event should prove to be an exciting climax to a fantastic FF season. As the fleet prepares for the 2015 World Championships in France, turnouts at FF events are on the up and the 2014 Sprint is expected to be the biggest yet!
The Sprint will again be sponsored by Mercure Hotels.
National Rankings – Round 21….!!
Following on from a great third place at the Europeans in September McKee and Weatherspoon carried on their rich vein of form to comfortably take the Scottish Championship at Loch Lomond.
46 boats turned out for the last 'big' event of the season and enjoyed some great sailing. This continues the impressive turnouts seen this season and bodes well for the Nationals next year at Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club.
11 boats travelled to Middle Nene for the final event of the Southern Traveller Series which was won by Neil Bartholomey and Emma Brown. This solidifies their hold at the top of the Classic ranking.
Once again the season concludes with the Draycote Sprint next weekend.

Francis Livingston, Rush Hour, oil, 60"x60"
Commuters clad in shades of gray and brown trudge through cathedral-like Penn Station, an architectural landmark of New York City's Gilded Age that was demolished in 1963. Overhead, seemingly unnoticed, whales big and small glide through the lofty spaced, which once rivaled St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. What, exactly, is going on here? A dream? A fantasy world? An alternate reality?
For Livingston, any particular explanation was beside the point. What excited him most was the opportunity to capture the somber mood of a long-gone monument; to portray a magnificent scene in muted colors; and, perhaps, to pique viewers' imaginations with a speculative nudge akin to, "Wow, wouldn't it be great if ...?" You might label the overall effect a hybrid style called retro-futuristic surrealism. "Yes, that's a perfect way to frame it," says Livingston enthusiastically. "It gets back to the painting's narrative quality. There's a bit of a story there. People can get absorbed with it." "Absorbing" is another apt descriptor for Livingston's works. Painting after painting draws viewers in, inviting them to linger, to wonder, to explore worlds seemingly suspended in time.
So, not surprisingly, he entered Denver's Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design, an institution founded by Philip Steele, an artist who had studied at New York's Art Students League under figurative artist George Bridgman, himself an erswhile ghost-illustrator for a popular Sunday action/adventure comic strip called Captain Easy. "So I thought, maybe I can learn some things about comics in this school," Livingston remembers. What Livingston got during the two-year course was "a fairly general, all-around commercial artist's training." Upon graduating, he quickly discovered that "the call for illustrators in Denver was not that great, and, besides, I didn't really have much of a portfolio." So he decided to continue his education even more seriously.
Straight out of the Academy and living in San Francisco, Livingston began getting assignments. He drew pen-and-ink illustrations for local magazines. Textbook publishers hired him to paint historical scenes of events ranging from the Revolutionary War to the exploration of Antarctica. He developed a reputation as one of the few illustrators in the city specializing in beautifully realized oil paintings. He secured agents to represent him on both coasts, getting still more plum assignments including the covers of major corporate brochures and annual reports. "It was a quick jump-start," he says.
That gave Livingston the push he needed to produce his first gallery works. He was further inspired by a visit to a New York show featuring haunting watercolors of Coney Island by David Levine, an illustrator best known for his pen-and-ink caricatures skewering writers, politicians, and other noteworthies in The New York Review of Books. "I was blown away by the kind of grittiness you might see from Ashcan School painters like George Bellows or John Sloan," he says. "They were just what I had in my own head." In 1994, Livingston's first show of moody Santa Cruz oils at the new Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco won him positive recognition. It also propelled him into representation by still more galleries nationwide, he says. One of them, Medicine Man Gallery in Santa Fe and Tucson, encouraged him to create a continuing series of Southwestern-themed paintings.

Then, after he tones the surface with a neutral color, the actual painting begins. "I work from a middle tone, then go a little bit darker and a little bit lighter, and I don't lay in the darkest or lightest colors until the very end," he says. Despite the narrative qualities the finished work might possess, he says, "I stray from my reference materials pretty quickly. I let the painting start dictating how it winds up." Eschewing tight realism, he adds, "If I see too much detail, or it starts looking too photographic. I'll scrape the paint with old credit cards or a piece of cardboard, or throw on some turpentine to let it drip. Doing that loosens me up psychologically and gives me little textures and surprises."

Utah Basketball Receives Key Instate Commit
Originally posted on www.sltrib.com by Tony Jones
Larry Krystkowiak's run of getting instate commits continued on Saturday night.
Hunter guard Noah Togiai - one of the Utes key targets in the Class of 2015 - pledged to Utah one day after the Utes defeated UC-Davis 94-60 at the Huntsman Center.
Togiai was one of two instate players - Makol Mawien is the other - to hold a scholarship offer for 2015. Togiai is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, who is also one of the best football players in the state. When reached by the Tribune on Saturday night, Togiai said he was a Utah lean for quite some time.
"Ever since I got the offer, I knew Utah was where I wanted to go," Togiai said. "But my mom said no. She wanted me to take my time and look at some other schools. But Utah was where I wanted to go. We all sat down and talked about it and my parents gave me the go ahead."
Togiai becomes Utah's first 2015 commit. More importantly, with every local commit, the Utes are becoming more and more of a player in Utah recruiting - something that couldn't be said under Jim Boylen.
Togiai also had an official offer from Hawaii. He had interest from Utah State and San Francisco as well. He plays his AAU basketball with Utah Pump N' Run.
"This was the offer I wanted," Togiai said. "When I got it, it was the best feeling I ever had. Even if it was the last offer I got, I was still going to go to Utah."

Fashion | By Belle Rodolfo - Apr 19, 2017
How You Can Get in on the Sustainable Fashion Movement
Five lessons from MUNI Meetup's Reimagining Local Fashion talk.
If you love fashion, then most likely you'd want to keep up with particular trends. We at Preview do, too, and it's the very reason why we can truly appreciate fast fashion! Right? So cheap, so updated, always on sale! It seems a little too good to be true, and tbh, it is. Did you know that the fashion industry is the 2nd most polluting industry IN THE WORLD? It's not even just the waste from chemicals and dyes, but also fabric crop (cotton can need tons of water) and some manufacturers resort to burning unused clothing if the supply overtakes demand. Good news though – there's a sustainable fashion movement catching momentum.
By definition, according to GreenStrategy, sustainable fashion can be defined as clothing, shoes and accessories that are manufactured, marketed and used in the most sustainable manner possible, taking into account both environmental and socio-economic aspects. So, let's get right on to slow fashion school…
Lesson #1: It starts with us.
Fast fashion came from a consumer need (that's us) to have fashion fast and cheap – like everything that we have and consume and use everyday. It's a product of our culture that we've learned as technology spoiled us when it comes to convenience.
Lesson #2: Everybody involved in the process of manufacturing should treated fairly (and yes, that includes Mama Nature).
One of the speakers, Charise Aquino-Tugade, who is with The Manila Collectible (a "culture space" – museum-giftshop-workshop in Intramuros) shares that this goes as deep as when you source your materials. She shares that especially when sourcing locally – since our own lands are rife with resources – you have to respect a culture/person/ethnic group/tribe's tradition. She has even gone as far as being the center of a thanksgiving ritual in which she had to spear a pig – because to them, this is not just business, it's their way of life. Another speaker, Tal de Guzman, owns Risque Designs, a shoe brand that sources ethically. She set up her own production because she found that most shoemakers were paid sadly and their hours were inhumane. What is our point in all of this? This means that everybody along the way is treated well. Because think about it in a basic business way – if it's cheap for you, somebody else somewhere is paying the cost.
Lesson #3: You don't need to be rich to begin practicing sustainable fashion.
I had been itching to ask the question even before I attended this talk – slow fashion is time consuming, effortful, and for sure expensive to produce, right? In a way, yes. But you don't need to dive headfirst into production of Ethically Sourced Trendy Fashion (perhaps a paradox?) because right now, there are very few sources in the country. But do know this, the speakers gave sound advice on how you can definitely start with your own initiatives such as:
1. Buy from the local businesses when you travel.
Such as weavers, shoemakers, accessory makers, and DON'T HAGGLE. Tal, who sources from Laguna often say that most people in the provinces are very generous so when you haggle, they will let you. But don't, because it's most likely a) cheap and b) their only source of income. Please support them completely.
2. Go ukay-ukay shopping.
Most fashion girls' on a budget's secret weapon: thrift shopping. Because sustainable fashion is also about seeing your clothing's life cycle through, this helps extend it more.
3. Mend your clothes.
On the topic of life cycles, Hannah Theisen, founder of Fashion Revolution, suggests to mend your clothes. We are also responsible for making the most of our existing clothing – if it's a hole, sew it. If it's a sole, send it to the shoemakers. Don't just throw things out right away.
4. Outfit repeating is definitely OK!
Charise suggests that if you cannot see through the sourcing of your clothes, then buy less, and buy less frequently. Buy quality, too.
5. Have things made.
At Preview, we love championing local designers. So whether it's your neighborhood seamstress, or your favorite gown designer, have your clothes made. This works great when you couple it with suggestion #1 – source your own fabric, then have it made. As for the treatment of workers, a lot of designers have teams that they work closely with – not sweat shops or mass production. Another great thing about this is that your clothes will fit perfectly, too.
Lesson #4 Local Sustainable Fashion is Changing the Perception of "Locally Made"
Celia Elumba, another speaker, is the Director of the Philippine Textile Research Institute. She believes that by supporting slow fashion locally – which means locally and ethically sourced start to finish – changes the perception that if it's locally made, it's not of good quality. Because as we all know, the better everybody is treated along the way, the more creative and motivated people are because they're dignified (Tal says transparency with your suppliers like sharing with her workers their end product also helps them understand and love their work!), the more chances you will have a greater end product because it's a labor of love.
Lesson #5 Fast Fashion Ends With Us
If it started with us, it's only logical that we are the solution as well. Hannah from Fashion Revolution says it ends when we change the way we consume clothing, demand accountability from fashion brands (such as the #WhoMadeMyClothes movement on Instagram), and considering the entire life cycle of our clothing – this goes beyond just mending, we can also sell or donate old clothes, upcycle them, or donating them to be reprocessed.
Interested? Get involved here! And if you want to go as far as learning how to produce it yourself (or to train your staff, if you own a business), did you know that you actually can? The Philippine Textile Research offers courses here.

"Koko, the beloved gorilla who communicated through sign-language, dies at age 46" | Popular Science
Koko cuddles All Ball, her very first kitten, who tragically died after getting hit by a car in 1985.
Image Credit: Ron Cohn/The Gorilla Foundation
Koko, the gorilla famous for her ability to communicate using American Sign Language, died in her sleep Tuesday morning at age 46. Her passing leaves the world to mourn the loss of a most beloved primate, who gave humans an unprecedented window into the thoughts of another species.
That Koko was incredible is indisputable. She clearly thought so, too—"queen" was one of the first signs she used to describe herself. And she got publicity that royalty would envy. Koko graced the cover of National Geographic twice; one cover captured a tender moment between Koko and her pet kitten "All Ball" (Koko was fond of rhymes), the other, Koko snapped herself using a camera in the mirror.
Koko made a remarkable contribution to our understanding of primate cognition and the species' capacity for communication. She could execute more than 1,000 signs (and some new ones, like barrette, she supposedly concocted herself), and respond to 2,000 words of spoken English.

So sad to hear of Koko's passing. She taught us something beyond value IMHO: that the difference between humans and other animals, or at least the great apes, is one of degree, not kind. The idea that humans are completely different to animals has forever been shown to be false. Vale Koko.

I would think that calling herself "queen" would indicate a level of self-consciousness that I think the higher mammals have. Learning language probably helped her develop this awareness.


The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) is a key national nursing organisation for nurses at all stages of their career. Aspen worked with designers and project managers from inOne Projects to successfully complete the fitout at ACN, including the scope of reception, banquette seating, kitchens, utility joinery and storage. The fitout aligns to ACN's brand colours and features a striking reception desk, inspired by the angular shape of the ACN logo. The reception creates a strong visual first impression in the entrance and this refreshing colour palette is continued throughout the offices.
