Keep It Local :: Soo Visual Arts Center of Minneapolis
By Tucker Gerrick
Like many cities across the U.S., Minneapolis is in the midst of its next chapter. To say it's having a renaissance, though, would be to imply that it had gone out of favor or was forgotten about. But likely since the '50s and '60s' suburban flight of hundreds of thousands of city residents, Minneapolis – and the Twin Cities on the whole – have impatiently maintained the outsider's view of a "flyover city." For those who have lived here or ever taken the trip and spent some time getting to experience the city – well, it's no secret the quality of life is exceptional.
It's easy for a resident to make a claim of such, I understand, especially when based on seemingly arbitrary criteria. But for the purpose of this post, we'll consider that statement true and based solely on Minnesota's, and more specifically Minneapolis's appreciation and support of the arts. It seems like no matter the neighborhood, you're bound to walk but a few blocks before you stumble across (or hopefully inside) another gallery, studio or workshop. All year long events like the Walker's Artist-Designed Mini Golf, Northern Spark, the Art Shanty Project and Art-A-Whirl, to name a few, play up or down the season at present and offer art accessibly to the public in a variety of venues and locales.
Still, it's the galleries that often do the heavy lifting and act as the connective tissue of local arts communities in the same way that a skateshop is the epicenter of a local skate scene; serving as provider, informer, connector and supporter. So after hearing news of a pending move of one of Minneapolis' long-standing and well-respected galleries, SooVAC, I decided it was high time to pay them a visit.
TUCKER GERRICK: Hi Carolyn.
CAROLYN PAYNE: Hi. This is cool, let's do this! It's so great when there's people here in Minneapolis writing about us on these kinds of sites.
Especially when it's NOT someone from the NYT doing an uninformed article on some aspect of Minneapolis life. I mean, come on, I'm sure you're great writers, but do a little bit of research, please, so we don't come across as some as complete idiots.
It's nice you're doing this too, actually writing something original. So thank you.
For those who aren't familiar with SooVAC, what is it? What's does the name stand for?
SooVAC stands for Soo Visual Art Center. We were founded 13 years ago and we're a non profit 501C3 art center. Named after an old Soo train line right down the street on 29th. Our founder Suzy Greenberg too, maybe a little play off her name. Then 2 years ago, we opened SooLocal right next to Pat's Tap on 35th and Nicollet.
Rollin Marquette's sculptural installation "Quietus" in the SooVAC gallery. Made of ballistic gelatin, acrylic and steel (it's HUGE).
So, specifically what is your role at the gallery(s)?
I am the Executive Director. I'm a little bit of everything. We were curated by Suzy until about 5 years ago. We set up a curatorial panel, right after I started – we set it up 'cause she wanted to step back a little bit. So we've been curated by volunteer artists now for 4 seasons. With SooLocal, it's a little more flexible. For instance, this year I brought in some young or emerging curators, I would call them. Nathaniel Smith wanted to do something. Then Crystal and Oakley wanted to do something; they did 5 things. And the shows, both sets of groups, were amazing. So I manage the panel, I manage the board, I manage the staff, and I do the plumbing [laughs].
"…they have built a truly fun and inviting scene–which isn't always the case when it comes to a lot of pro-level white wall galleries, as I'm sure you know. With their satellite space, SooLOCAL, SooVAC has pushed the approachability factor even further, allowing for a more relaxed curatorial perspective and letting artists and outside curators experiment and take the reins." –Kate Iverson, artist
So when you expanded over into the other space (SooLocal), was more or less all about opportunity?
That, and just that we were turning down all these great things because we didn't have the space. Kim Bartmann offered to Terry [Carolyn's husband and the founder of Rosalux Gallery] and I to see if we wanted to put a gallery there and we jumped on it. We keep booking out so far in advance over here at SooVAC, so it was about giving more people opportunities. We've kept it pretty much to Minnesota artists but we've done a few regional things. There just aren't a lot of places here that show our great artists. We show only 60% over here (SooVAC), but over there try to keep it mostly Minnesota.
Selected pieces from current exhibition with John Bell titled "The Persistent Present."
Would you consider that the most distinct difference in the way the spaces are curated and programmed?
SooLocal vs. SooVAC? Yeah, it's hard to say. We're very flexible over at SooLocal. We've had lots of group shows, performances. We've been a bit more experimental over there. It's more of a lab, that's how we think of it. We can be more spontaneous.
For anyone who's lived here for any amount of time, I think it's easy to understand we're an "arts heavy" state, and specifically Minneapolis. From all the arts funding, the MIA, Walker, MCAD, the new UofM art's building and program, the recently defunct CVA. So with all this considered, how do you think SooVAC fits in the Minnesota arts ecosystem?
I feel like we've always let artists curate. That's one thing I will say is dramatically different than most galleries/museums here. I feel like we have a really diverse amount of art we show: installation, painting, printmaking, the list goes on. Suzy and then later on the panel have always been open to showing a diverse cross section of art instead of a specific aesthetic of one point of view. And we also show people at all points in their careers. We're open to anyone. We are often the first show of anyone who has gone on to a bigger career in art. I think it'd be hard to say that there's a SooVAC kind of art, though some would say otherwise.
"SooVAC is integral to the twin cities art scene. It is the stepping stone for any emerging artist living in the area. They are known for fostering young artists careers and advancement to the next level."- Garrett Perry, artist
Pieces by John Bell.
That's interesting. People get so fussy about showing at certain spaces at certain times in their career. With the odd hierarchy of galleries and grants, applying for grants and the like.
For artists? Yeah, you mean what's "emerging" and what's not? I think in our mission it says we show "under-represented" artists, so what we do is try to keep it fresh. People you haven't seen all over. And if you look at the history of who's shown here too, you probably saw a lot of people here first. Which is cool. We've shown over 2,000 artists since the start.
I think it's cool to keep it open. Like it's an extension of this neighborhood; this is a neighborhood gallery and I think that's a strength, not anything that's holding it back. Something that the community can connect to truly while you're walking around in the neighborhood. And have it still be legit.
We have Intermedia, SooVAC and Highpoint; 3 awesome and different organizations that are right here. And Flanders, Bockley, David Peterson – I love that space. We're happy to be in the neighborhood.
[What do you think of] "Okay, the teenagers of now are going to be the 30-somethings of the future"? How do you build future audiences?
We struggle with it all the time. I think that's an issue for everyone; It's an art problem, all sizes of institutions. One way we combat that is that we've been doing collaborations and partnerships with other organizations all along. But these past couple of years we've been doing things with lots of different kinds of groups. Also, I try to go to everything going on in town, try to meet people. I just want to know what's going on. We've been doing things with Paper Darts, Live Letters, we've been doing lots of modern dance in the gallery. We don't have a lot of money, we're tiny. But we have two kick ass spaces and we let people use them any time they want. Getting these different audiences in for dances, schools, classes, readings. We've popped shows in for graduating undergrads a lot too. That's one way to keep a younger audience going.
Do you lean on the artists to do a lot of the promotion themselves? I feel like these days, especially with young people, they're super savvy at that.
We don't at all, unless they want to. We do all of the promotion unless they want to do it themselves. Sometimes there's artists that will bring their efforts in. But we do the press release, if they want an artist talk we do it, printed materials. It just depends.
All the personalities especially with artists...
There's a lot of personalities with artists. And administrators.
What do you think was the most ambitious curatorial project or direction you and your team have taken since you've been here? Was there a particular artist or specific partnership that comes to mind?
I think everything we do is ambitious and amazing. But the shows that really stand out to me were like, the David Bowen show which was made of these huge blimps powered by house flies flowing around the gallery. It was amazing. Part of my job, and I'm mainly an administrator, was to come every morning and feed them and give them water. It was very specific. There were these little "gondolas" he called them, they had computers and sensors in them, wherever they'd fly, the blimps would move. The first couple weeks when we'd open the cap and put in the food, they'd fly out. They were everywhere! Even in the middle of that huge blizzard that year I had to go to the gallery, "I've got to get to those flies!" We were snowed in to our house. I think everything we do here is cool, but the blizzard and the flies... that one was great. I miss those flies.
Gallery shot at SooLocal of Kate Iverson's "The Black Moon"
You've been in this building since the beginning. What is the catalyst for the pending move? Do you have your eye on a specific neighborhood or anything?
We're going to stay in the neighborhood, we're staying in the hood. I have a statement that's coming out soon. The future of our space was ambiguous with regards to renewing the lease. We have artists, grants, responsibilities to take care of... so we started looking. It was a good time to reimagine what sort of space we need, having been here and having the smaller gallery for a couple years gives us a good perspective. The new one is bigger, more flexible, right in the neighborhood. It's going to be really great.
"The different transformations that the gallery has taken, mirrors the same transformation that artist go through as they respond and adapt to various economic, social, and philosophical shifts. I'm really excited to see what's next for the SooVAC."-Drew Peterson, artist

Q: Create secret for Gcp service accont using Yaml in Kubernetes I am trying to create a Kubernetes secret for the IAM service account of GCP from the download file which has the following structure
secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: gcp-secret
  namespace: tekton-pipelines
type: kubernetes.io/opaque
stringData:
  gcs-config: |
     {
      "type": "service_account",
      "project_id": "fetebird-350310",
      "private_key_id": "5566b5e81ce3cb9530659be6c70e07a36dcbd581",
      "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvww2VjXHj9/7gQ8ZWs/OaQKBgQDDHqb2rG4b5wGMDeeW\nuNTofm7xfC9yAHBm4Rug6hXpYSy36LUrpe0agZqzcLpH2G4xTarQyx76sPXVCpGc\nyFAQ6Jvj1kqM2pHJlGg+L1kX1mZ96jOyyZ2mxPV3r837q90w4CqT2rLKTF9VgWre\nSD6P7h2JbJ46Xzu4Mp72wSxSCg==\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
      "client_email": "ssss@ssss-350310.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
      "client_id": "sssssssss",
      "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
      "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
      "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",

    }

Run the below command, it does create a secret, However, the authentication is not working via the service account
kubectl apply --filename secret.yaml

service-account.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: git-service-account
secrets:
  - name: git-ssh-auth
  - name: gcp-secret

Pipeline-run
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: PipelineRun
metadata:
  name: run-pipeline
  namespace: tekton-pipelines
spec:
  serviceAccountNames:
    - taskName: clone-repository
      serviceAccountName: git-service-account
    - taskName: build
      serviceAccountName: gcp-service-account
  pipelineRef:

  workspaces:
    - name: shared-workspace
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: fetebird-discount-pvc
  params:
    - name: repo-url
      value: git@bitbucket.org:anandjaisy/discount.git

The way I am creating secret from secret.yaml is correct?
That service account has these permissions

Getting error on tekton pipeline as

If I provide public access to the artifact registry, it works. Somehow the permission are not working for me, not sure how to resolve this

A: You may try this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: git-service-account
secrets:
  - name: git-ssh-auth
  - name: pubsub-key
  - name: gcp-secret

You did not add the secret to the list of secrets in the serviceaccount.

A: Can you try the following? And please try to merge all the secrets in the single service account.
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: PipelineRun
metadata:
  name: run-pipeline
  namespace: tekton-pipelines
spec:
  serviceAccountName: git-service-account
  pipelineRef:
    name: fetebird-discount
  workspaces:
    - name: shared-workspace
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: fetebird-discount-pvc
  params:
    - name: repo-url
      value: git@bitbucket.org:anandjaisy/discount.git

There is one another suggestion i could try here. Did you include the annotation like suggested here?
https://tekton.dev/docs/pipelines/auth/#configuring-ssh-auth-authentication-for-git
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: ssh-key
  annotations:
    tekton.dev/git-0: github.com # Described below
type: kubernetes.io/ssh-auth
stringData:
  ssh-privatekey: <private-key>
  # This is non-standard, but its use is encouraged to make this more secure.
  # If it is not provided then the git server's public key will be requested
  # when the repo is first fetched.

Greece clears more makeshift migrant camps

Greek police Tuesday cleared two more improvised migrant camps near its border with Macedonia, moving occupants to state-run facilities, officials said.
On Monday, over a thousand people were relocated from another makeshift camp set up around another filling station about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the frontier.
Another 8,500 others are being held on Greece's Aegean Sea islands, under the March 20 deal between EU and Turkey which allows people who have not filed for asylum in Greece to be sent back to Turkey.

I recently bumped into an old friend of mine who was the Development Director at a Philadelphia area independent school. We got to talking about #GivingTuesday and he shared his belief that the benefits to the #GivingTuesday campaign extended beyond the sum figure of funds raised. As he put it, "#GivingTuesday enabled us to re-engage with major donors, with all donors. It was easy to get our board behind #GivingTuesday and allowed them an opportunity for further engagement." #GivingTuesday has now become part of the philanthropic landscape in a way that resonates with nonprofits, boards, donors and the general public.
#GivingTuesday is a force – over 40,000 organizations in 71 countries have joined the #GivingTuesday movement. This rapidly expanding national fundraising phenomenon occurring on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (this year being Tuesday, November 29) as a response to the consumerism of Black Friday, is growing in both size and scope: Online donations of $45.6 million in 2014 grew to $116.4 million in 2015, according to the information compiled by Impact Lab … an increase of 145%! Nonprofits are eager to capitalize on this movement and donors' willingness to participate in this day.
#GivingTuesday donors tend to be younger and more tech-savvy than other contributors, which for many nonprofits presents a great opportunity to expand the donor pool. Especially in organizations that have not been as successful in reaching Millennials or "Generation Z," #GivingTuesday is a vehicle that speaks to this audience. As an internationally recognized program, #GivingTuesday has achieved name recognition and is now a trusted brand.
As organizations prepare for this day, it is important to keep in mind the target for #GivingTuesday donations. The average gift size was $154 last year, up from $142 in 2014. The outreach, marketing, and buzz about #Giving Tuesday is mostly played out online, through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. #GivingTuesday can be a tool for major donors or core supporters. This effort is a platform for increased gifts or additional giving opportunities. These gifts must be cultivated through relationships and careful planning. #GivingTuesday is a chance to reach new or lapsed donors, or younger supporters.
#GivingTuesday is an opportunity to jump start the end of year donation process since 30% of all donations are made in December. #GivingTuesday functions as a condensed mini-campaign, with all of the energy and focus going to one day. While it does not replace annual fund efforts, it is a proven gateway to the year-end fundraising efforts.
Register! List your organization on GivingTuesday.org/join. This is the first step in the process. Once registered, check out tips, advice and success stories will improve messaging and outreach.
Find a Matching Donor: It is often said that Matching Gifts are to #GivingTuesday as deals are to #CyberMonday. Using a Matching gift can build a sense of community, increase impact and create urgency. Importantly, the matching donor is more closely drawn to the organization through increased and/or leveraged giving. In fact, there is a tool called "Double the Donation" on #GivingTuesday's Matching Gifts pages that allows organizations set up matching gift platforms for free.
Get Creative: Personal stories of those impacted by your organization are always a strong tool. Create a video, use photos, testimonials, peer fundraising. #GivingTuesday is a great time to try something new and different.
Send Constant Updates: This is an exciting, dynamic day. Sending updates about progress will energize donors and engage potential donors. Especially if there is a matching gift, sending updates can help to build excitement about closing in on a goal. This can be done on the website, through social media and through emails.
Use all channels: #GivingTuesday isn't just about social media. This is an opportunity to use a wide variety of vehicles to get the messages across. Email, social media, newsletters and even phone calls can help boost awareness.
Make donations concrete: Donors, especially younger donors, like to see results and impact. Showing uses of the money and transparency can convert online readers into donors.
Think about extending the party: No one said the party has to end on November 29! #GivingTuesday can be extended through the week and beyond. Using the same materials and outreach, organizations can give donors more opportunities for this gift to count or be matched.
Follow up is critical to get the most from the #GivingTuesday campaign. Donors need to be thanked and recognized. One easy way is though social media. Thanking donors with a personalized tweet that might encourage the donors' friends to contribute as well. New donors should be added to future outreach and included in updates about the organization, showing how their contribution has made an impact.
Remember, that this process can be fun! It is exciting for staff and stakeholders to "hear" the constant pings of online donations like a public television telethon. There is an instant gratification of a campaign that happens for the most part on one day, rather than over several weeks, or months. Staff and stakeholders can see the fruits of their labor and since #GivingTuesday donations mostly emanate online, the money raised can be counted in real time. November 29 can be a real shot in the arm before year –end fundraising begins in earnest in December.

Chumba and Dibaba take second Tokyo crowns
History was made at the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday, 25 February, when Dickson Chumba and Berhane Dibaba became the first runners ever to win a second title at Asia's only Abbott World Marathon Majors race.
Chumba romped home to reclaim the men's crown he won in the Japanese capital four years ago after pre-race favourite Wilson Kipsang had dropped out early in the race, while Dibaba proved too strong for fellow Ethiopian Ruti Aga in the closing stages and crossed the line just four seconds outside the women's course record.
Dibaba took more than 90 seconds from her personal best as she repeated her 2015 Tokyo victory, clocking 2:19:51 to join the select sub-2:20 club for the first time and move into the top 25 on the world all-time list.
She also leaps to joint fourth in the women's Series XI standings with 25 points, 16 behind leaders Mary Keitany and Tirunesh Dibaba, while Chumba joins five other men at the crowded summit of the men's leaderboard, all on 25 apiece with just two races left.
Meanwhile, Manuela Sch�r sealed the women's Series XI title with her fourth win from five races and Hiroyuki Yamamoto gave the Japanese fans much to cheer as he sprung a shock to win the men's wheelchair crown for a fourth time ahead of countryman Tomoki Suzuki.
Kipsang had cruised to the men's course record 12 months ago and was all set for a world record assault on Tokyo's fast new course, but it proved to be a bad day for the former Majors champion who fell behind early in the race and dropped out before the leaders reached 17km.
Chumba made the most of his opportunity, taking a group of six past 30km in 1:20:20 before breaking clear of Kenyan compatriots Amos Kipruto and Gideon Kipketer after 35km. The 31-year-old had finished third in Tokyo for three years in a row and with the favourite gone he wasn't going to let this one slip. He swiftly built an unassailable lead before finishing in 2:05:30.
The real drama was happening behind him, however, as Japan's Yuta Shitara produced a late surge to blaze past Kipruto, Kipketer and Olympic silver medallist Feyisa Lelisa in the final 5km. The largely unknown 26-year-old, who was 11th last year, delighted the home fans as he stole second place in a Japanese record of 2:06:11, taking nearly three minutes from his previous best.
Kipruto hung on the place third in 2:06:33 ahead of Kipketer with Hiroto Inoue bringing more Japanese joy as he ran 2:06:54 for fifth.
Dibaba took the women's win with a devastating move late in the race after she and Aga had moved away from Shure Demise and USA's Amy Cragg in the second half. The Ethiopian pair were locked together at 35km before Dibaba unleashed a finishing burst that left Aga struggling alone in second.
She crossed the line in 2:21:19 with Cragg taking a triumphant third place in 2:21:42, an incredible five minutes faster than her previous best, making her the fifth quickest American woman of all-time.
After finishing third at the IAAF World Championships last April, Cragg added another nine points to her Majors tally to move into ninth spot while Aga now lies third on 32 points behind the joint leaders.
Demise hung on to fourth to add another four points to her total while Helah Kiprop was the first Kenyan home, picking up a single Majors point in fifth.
Points were up for grabs in the wheelchair races too where Sch�r powered away from Series X champion Tatyana McFadden in the last 5km to win by more than a minute in 1:43:25.
The dominant Swiss now has 109 points at the top of the women's standings, and with McFadden more than 50 behind on 57, has an uncatchable lead over her rivals.
McFadden battled hard to stay with her nemesis but had to settle for second again, as she did in New York, this time clocking 1:44:51.
Tsubasa Kina snatched another podium place for Japan finishing third in 1:46:17 ahead of last year's winner Amanda McGrory, who was fourth in 1:48:01. Fellow American Susannah Scaroni was some way back in fifth.
Yamamoto and Suzuki blew the men's race apart with a bold break before the 15km mark that stretched to more than five minutes by the finish. Yamamoto almost tipped out of his chair as he flew round the final corner on one wheel. He hung on to grab first by a second in 1:26:23 and complete his fourth Tokyo win, adding to previous victories in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
In the absence of reigning Majors champion Marcel Hug, it was South African's Ernst van Dyk who stole third from Australia's 2016 champion Kurt Fearnley with defending champion Sho Watanabe in fifth.
Hug still holds a commanding lead at the top of the men's standings with 91 points while Fearnley moves clear in second ahead of Yamamoto, who is now joint third alongside Britain's David Weir.
Series XI of the Abbott World Marathon Majors resumes at the Boston Marathon on 16 April and concludes in London on 22 April.


John 1:1-2 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God."
In reflecting upon the first eighteen verses of John's Gospel, what is deemed by many "The Prologue of John", it struck me just how unique these eighteen verses are in comparison to all other statements from other sources outside the Bible. The marvel of John's prologue is not only in the choice of wording, but also in how the wording could affirm the true identity of God incarnate while dismantling competing worldviews.
Today's post is more of a thumbnail sketch of thoughts regarding how a traditional Jewish mind may had reacted to what John especially wrote in John 1:1-3 and John 1:14. My hope is that these thoughts will serve to highlight how amazing the opening verses of John's Gospel really are, and why it is they are truly unique in comparison to all other would be contenders.
A quick note on what I mean "traditional Jewish thought"
I underscore "traditional Judaism" in distinction to the Jewish Old Covenant scriptures divinely inspired by God and fulifilled by the Lord Jesus Christ in His first advent. When I say "traditional Judaism", I am speaking of the centuries of commentaries and traditional Jewish thinking that developed between the Old and New Testament and became authoritative among the various Jewish groups existing in Jesus' day. The Jewish people developed a method of studying the scripture called "Midrash", which very loosely understood refers to a sort of commentary on the Old Testament, particularly the Torah or first five books of the Bible. The Apostle John of course wrote his prologue (John 1:1-18) with knowledge of what would had been some of the prevailing opinion among Jewish scholars and the priestly interpreters of his day. As John wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, his word choice would had been intentional.
Undoubtedly, John's prologue would had upset the proverbial "apple cart" of Traditional Judaism's intepretation of God and His creative activities. The Orthodox Jews to this day still appeal to the centuries of commentary and traditional interpretation of the Old Testament scriptures. As will be seen below, the quotes from traditional Jewish thinking vs what John wrote will bear out how profound and unique Jesus Christ truly is as the Unique incarnation of God in human flesh.
The significance of Jesus Christ as "the Word"
When you consider the meaning of the word "word" in the Jewish mind, and compare it to what John wrote, you discover that John was asserting no less than the Full and uncontested Deity of Jesus Christ. For the Jew looking at passages like Genesis 1 through the lens of Jewish tradition, God's creative activity entailed Him "speaking" things into existence. The Hebrew word for the first five books of the Bible is "Torah", and the word itself comes from a Hebrew verb which means "to instruct, to guide". As you read on further, the idea of "Torah" and the term "word" go hand-in-hand, both referring what God did in creating the heavens and the earth (speaking = word) and how He did so (Torah).
Rightly so Christians confess that the Torah (another name for the first five books of the Old Testament) were verbally and Divinely inspired by God to Moses. Without a doubt the God of Biblical revelation is, in the words of Christian scholar "Francis Shaeffer, "the talking God". In the Jewish mind, to study the "Torah" meant to consult the very book which would in reality instruct and guide the believer to know the mind of God and really God Himself.
As one looks a little bit into the Jewish commentaries on the Torah (called Midrash, meaning "interpretation"), for the Jewish tradition and the Jewish Rabbis (or teachers), the Torah was not just merely referring to the first five books of the Bible, but something far more. For them, Torah had always existed with God from eternity.
Jacob Neusner, a Judaic scholar, notes the following on Genesis 1:1 in his book on traditional Jewish commentary on the Torah "Invitation to Midrash": "We read the intersecting verse as if the Torah were speaking. Hence the Torah was beside God like a little child." As Neusner examines one of the Jewish commentaries (or Midrash) on Genesis 1:1, we see this curious statement from one of those Jewish commentaries (called the Genesis Rabbah): "Thus the Holy One, blessed be he, consulted the Torah when He created the world."
What is the big deal about these insights? Simply put: the Jewish mind would had seen God's creative activity as involving Him consulting what was the contents of His own mind (the Torah) and thus the "Word" being the very embodiment of the Torah.
For traditional Jewish thinking, God was consulting His mind and what He saw within Himself, resulting in those thoughts (Torah) manifesting in a verbal activity (Word) and thus: the creation. For traditional Judaism, what God did was speak (Word) as a result of the consultations He made in His own mind with regards to the Torah that had always been on His mind.
What is remarkable about John's opening statement about Jesus as the Word in John 1:1-3 is the fact that "The Word" is not merely viewed as a symbolic Person in the form of God's mind who co-existed with God from the beginning (the traditional Jewish view), rather "The Word" was indeed a Real, true Person co-existing with and sharing in the Divine nature with God from all eternity!
Plainly put: the "power" and "principle" that is the "Word" in traditional Jewish Thought is shown by Divine revelation to be a genuine Person. This Person was "in the beginning", like we see God in the beginning in Genesis 1:1. Furthermore, this Person, "The Word", was "with God". In the original language of John 1:1, we could say "The Word" was "face to face" with God, indicating a co-equal, intimacy that is unshared by any creature. Then to push the envelope all the way, John then says "The Word was God" and then in verse 2 "and He was with God". To say "The Word" was a "He" brings in the element of True personality.
The Uniqueness of "The Word made flesh"
To ascribe personality, equality to God and distinct existence to "The Word" would had been mind-blowing enough to the traditional Jewish mindset in Jesus' day. However what John would say in John 1:14 would had demonstrated the uniqueness of what John was saying: "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." When we truly think about the concept of what the term "incarnation" means, it is radical and unique to the Biblical revelation. In traditional Judaism, God and His creative activity was something that "happened up there" and "in eternity".
For God to reveal His words and thoughts in a book was indicator of His role as the revealing God. However, in John's teaching about the incarnation, the revelatory activity of God reaches its fullest point in the humanity of Jesus Christ. Thus the Old Testament scriptures were revealed to anticipate and prepare the Jewish nation and ultimately the world for the coming of the Son in human flesh. How do we know this? The 27 New Testament books were Divinely inspired by God to explain and unfold all that Jesus did and achieved in His incarnation, life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension! Furthermore, the New Testament in concert with the Old Testament prophecies predict the second coming of Jesus - God in human flesh - to conquer the kingdoms of this world and to bring about the completion of the Father's purposes for His people and the created order. (see 1 Corinthians 15:23-28) In short - the Bible is all about Jesus - The Unique Incarnation of God!
Jesus Christ did not merely come "appearing to be like a man", nor did He appear to temporarily take on the form of a human being and then shed such a form once He ascended back into Heaven. John is saying that the One being very God with Elohim (name of God in Genesis 1:1) chose to come and take unto Himself a second way of expressing (i.e a nature) the full revelation of His person - namely humanity. Jesus Christ, in the words of famed Baptist preacher Adrian Rogers: "Was so much man as if he were not God, and yet so much God as if he were not man." This same Jesus of course since His incarnation has been and forever will be fully and completely God and fully and completely man.
The Jews conceived of God's glory as that manifestation of His presence and power that appeared in the tabernacle and temple of Solomon or on top of Mount Sinai in the book of Exodus. However to conceive of God's glory being manifested in the lowliness of human flesh would had been so contrary to what was expected.
Certainly the Old Testament prophecies (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Micah 5:1-3) predicted God the Redeemer somehow coming to redeem His people and being with them, however the full reality of that would not be revealed nor expected until the night Jesus came. John's prologue of John 1:1-18 served to fully express to the Jewish mind the meaning of this signficant event - that Jesus Christ is the Unique incarnation of God!
My goal in today's post was to underscore the uniqueness of Jesus Christ as the Unique Incarnation of God. By peering somewhat into the traditional Jewish take on passages such as Genesis 1:1, there is no way that the Apostle John, as a Jew, could had simply "made up" or "adapted contemporary" Jewish thinking to compose the opening verses of His Gospel. Such Jewish thinking can frame why we see various truths expressed like they are in God's Word, being that part of John's readership would had been of a Jewish background, with John himself being of Jewish descent. However the contents and full meaning of Jesus Christ as the sole and unique revelation of God in history has no parallel.
Truly the only explanation we can give is that the reality of Jesus' incarnation was a Divine revelation from God through the pen of the Apostle John. Let's praise God today that He in the Person of the Son chose to come and take upon Himself human flesh and achieve the once-and-for all salvation for His people.

classic_stump asked Honeywell Thermostat with a Goodman Air Conditioner / Heat Pump How Do I Hook it Up????
I have a Honeywell Pro 4000 (TH4210D) thermostat with terminals labeled... E (emergency heat relay), Aux (auxiliary heat relay), Y (compressor contactor), G (fan relay), O (cool changeover valve), L (relay)*, R (L1 hot), B (heat changeover valve) and C (L2 common). *The L (relay) terminal is powered continuously when thermostat is set to Em Heat. The Honeywell guide also states to use either O or B terminals for changeover valve and install field jumper between E and Aux if there is no emergency heat relay. The Goodman 3 ton package unit with heat pump and 15kw heat strip has wires colored... Red (24v), Green (fan), Orange (Rev. valve), White (Heat 2nd), Brown (Heat 3rd), Yellow (cool), Blue (common). So, the main question is how do I make these connections up and what is the difference between the Auxiliary Heat Relay and the Emergency Heat Relay? Any and everyones help is greatly appreciated.


Lightning may never strike the same place twice, but your phone doesn't need to know that.
That's because a group of scientists from the University of Southampton have teamed up with Nokia to explore the possibility of harnessing the energy of a lightning bolt to charge a mobile device.
Sound impossible? Well, the scientists have already done it.
In order to create a "lightning bolt" for their test, the team first generated an alternating current through a transformer. They then channeled that current between a gap that was a little under an inch thick, surging 200,000 volts — well within the average strength of a typical lightning strike — in the form of a bolt of electricity. The signal was then transferred into another controlling transformer, where it was able to charge the battery of a Nokia Lumia 925.
"As one of the first companies to introduce wireless charging into our products, we believe that this experiment has the potential to jump-start new ideas on how we charge our phones in the future," Chris Weber, Nokia's vice president of sales and marketing, told Phys.org.
This research indicates that we may one day harness the power of a lightning strike for our own personal use. Consider the energy implications, which reach beyond cellphone charging: lightning is totally renewable, incredibly sustainable and readily available.
Neil Palmer, one of the project's lead researchers, said Nokia presented them with the original idea for the experiment. This is not surprising coming from Nokia, a company that is known for pushing the boundaries and constantly researching new concepts and technologies.
Palmer said that the circuitry of the Nokia device was able to stabilize the signal of the lightning, which then allowed the battery to be charged. This is important to note because one of the main arguments against the notion of harnessing lightning for energy has been that lightning is too unpredictable.
Using the power of lightning has long been a staple of science fiction. But if this experiment proves anything, it is that some of those seemingly impossible scenarios depicted in science fiction may soon become a reality.
Do you think we should harvest lightning for energy? Let us know in the comments below.
The patent brains behind a published Nokia concept -- the "Morph" -- this idea describes "a transformable body configured to be elastically stretchable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration."
"The first configuration may be an on-skin wearing configuration in which the body of the apparatus has a first size, and the second configuration being an operating configuration in which the body of the apparatus is transformed to a second size."
For example, you could wear your phone around your wrist. When you want to make a call, uncurl it and stretch it into its operational phone shape.
Imagine a self-charging mobile phone. That's the rather magical idea behind Nokia's "Piezoelectric Kinetic Energy Harvester" patent.
The patent sees movement experienced by your phone (in your bag, pocket, etc.) transformed into battery power via the wonder of kinetic energy and piezoelectric elements in the handset.
Similar to automatic quartz movements in watches that don't need winding, as long as your phone experiences motion, the battery should remain topped up.
It's TDB whether this idea would incorporate movement technology -- give your dying phone a shake to juice it up -- but we're certainly sold on the overall concept.
As touch became the primary mobile interface, Nokia considered an alternative: "Apparatus, Methods and Computer Program Products Providing Finger-Based and Hand-Based Gesture Commands for Portable Electronic Device Applications," aka gesture-based controls.
Nokia's vision was "a natural and intelligent interaction between humans and computing terminals [with] finger movement and/or user gestures."
Examples of such gestures in the patent description include rotating a single finger to browse forward, a circle gesture to start a program and expanding and closing fingers to zoom in or out.
While we don't think touchscreens for mobile devices are going anywhere soon, the success of gesture-controlled gaming suggests there might be potential for such additional commands in future.
Nokia patent number US20120062371 concerns itself with the fascinating field of haptics. Haptic tech, or tactile feedback technology, uses vibration or other motions to inform, alert or notify the user.
A basic example of haptics in consumer tech would be vibration feedback, as you press a button or touch the correct area of a screen.
Nokia has taken this concept further with its vision of "haptic communication between a user and an electronic device." The user wears material, such as a patch on the skin, that can receive haptic stimulus from a mobile phone.
In its most space-age application, this patent describes how an "invisible tattoo" on your body would vibrate to alert you of incoming calls, messages or other notifications.
In 2011, Nokia filed a patent for a Google Glass-esque concept. With it, the user could view his surroundings whilst seeing "a visual representation of information... helpful for informational, entertainment or other purposes."
"For example, a near-eye display may be embodied in a pair of glasses that are worn by a user and through which the user can view a scene beyond the glasses."

Wingwalker is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom. The album was released on January 7, 2011 by Outline Records label. This is her 14th album as a leader.

Reception
Philip Booth in his review for JazzTimes wrote, "Her horn really is a thing of beauty, dancing through and around the theme and hanging in the air, as if it might be carrying the ghostly remainders of the tune, echoing down through the cavernous great hall of one of those grand hotels where the song once was regularly featured. On repeat listens, it grows even more haunting." Dan Bilawski of All About Jazz stated, "Wingwalker, with its positive energy and inspired ensemble connections, proves to be another feather in Bloom's cap and one of the best recordings to surface at the dawn of 2011." Ken dryden of AllMusic added, ""Wingwalker" is full of sudden twists in a free setting, a captivating work that sounds totally improvised, even if it isn't." Jeff Simon of The Buffalo News wrote, "It's the musical equivalent of walking in outer space -- a lonely triumph of humanity within great vastness. Not surprisingly, a beautiful disc in every way."

Maybe I've been reading too much of Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series, but spring is now ingrained as the opening of Campaign Season. It's that time of year when anything is possible. Let the die fly high.
The festival circuit posters are out. I've already committed to going to the RaggaMuffin gig, come Hell or Helen. Tempted by Kiwiburn, now WOMAD's gone all commercial like Big Day Out. Also pondering requesting a spot in the Speakers Tent at Parihaka. No, not yet. The timing is all wrong. Maybe after a spell at Toastmasters. Yeah, that'll do it. We can't all be teachers or lawyers, used to speaking in public. Gotta kill that "don't fuck it up" mantra thing that keeps happening.
Well, it's about time to settle into a theme I suppose. How about a recap of the previous week? It's been good stuff.
Last Monday, attending the NZ Drug Foundation's AGM. They got the boring crap out of the way pronto, and featured a debate between some university teams debating "All Drugs Should Be Legalised." Charles Chauvel was moderating. Nice to see him continue turning up in all the right places. The audience decided that the negative team proved the most convincing, including me. Great fun for seeing what the lie of the land is. Tricky, but not insurmountable. I seriously rate the choice of chocolate cake served afterwards. It gave a whole new perspective to the definition of drug. Damn that anandamide!!
On Wednesday, attended the march to parliament on the Electoral Finance Bill. Got many beeps walking into town on the way there for my double-sided placard. On one side, "People, not PR and Pledge Card" (I ran out of room for the plural). On the other, it said "Greens! WTF u doing?" Both sides were subscripted with "This electoral advertisement was authorised by me."For the record, the sign did not say "fuck."
I had no idea of the huge drama that a chaotic event like an upturned plane on a runway would cause, even when Stephen Franks kept going on about it when I bumped into him on the way to Civic Square. Here he was, telling me the march was turning to custard, and here's me poking and prodding for completely different information. Inappropriate conversation is my forte. Get me on a roll and I can put both feet in my mouth with ease. It's why I'm gun-shy of influential people.
At Civic Square, I strike up awkward conversation with the grouplets of fellow marchers, managing to alienate one Act supporter with anti-Gary Mallet comments (Honestly, bring back Catherine Judd). Oh, the march has started, thank Dagg. Leisurely stroll down Lambton Quay, a street built for marching down (although the University-Terrace-Beehive route is still the best).
Young Labour turn up wearing John Key masks. I recognise a few of them straight off. Good on them for adding to the limited theatrics. Their antics spark a response in the marchers, who drown out the gatecrashers through necessity. Bump into some guy marching along with an effigy of Winston Peters. Arrive at parliament and a TradeMe of speakers ensues. Fair go to DPF for giving it a go on the mike. Good on Jeanette Fitzsimons for fronting up. You have my respect but still not my vote.
Thursday, lunch with Rick Giles at the Backbencher. Rick is an Almost Disappeared Person and the guy with the Winston effigy. Small world, small march. Off to Wellington Airport to catch a Pacific Blue flight to Auckland. Omfg, they've brought US customs to NZ's laissez-faire air travel. The paranoiacs have taken Joe Bennett far too seriously.
Metal detectors and x-ray machines? Thank Dagg I wasn't wearing my usual belt, the one that gets me spreadeagled at parliament every time. Hasn't anyone told the control freaks that security is an illusion? The best one can hope for is to minimise one's reasons to become a target. Security is therefore an oxymoron.
American security traditions, ripened for decades by the McNamara agenda, have finally burst forth on state departments around the globe. Tasers are the non-lethal stock option du jour. Revenue is soaring! Tasers are the de rigeur non-lethal shock option for cops. During the NZ taser trial, the thing was used 19 times. According to the logic used to justify its use, 19 cop lives were saved due to the taser. What's the Death on the Job rate for cops? Surely it's not 19 a year? N-n-n-n-19? No way.
Taxes may not be rising, inflation may be low, but the price of safety just keeps going up. What's the going rate for a late model taser? How about those goddamned metal detectors and x-ray machines back at the airport terminal purgatory? For my return trip to Auckland, $7.14. Now I paid McDonalds Airways a hundred and something bucks for my flights. $7.14 is a big bite of their margin.
If $7.14 is the price of ensuring that Tame Iti hasn't trained some ninja pilots to take over a 747 and fly it into the Beehive, so be it. However, since this stunt happening is so unbelievably improbable, I strongly resent paying a tuppenny fuck for being treated worse than a towelhead. $7.14 would have bought me a red wine to enjoy on my flight, instead of being heavied by the rubber-glove brigade. Future flying will now be subject to a thirty percent increase in security costs. $9.32 and rising. When will someone say no? I'll second them.
I hadn't been to Auckland since selling up the Shoebox in Wellesley St West back in '04. It was well-timed, before the leaky building clusterfuck really took hold of the body corporates and just before the CBD was so utterly saturated with apartments. Landing at Auckland airport was a doddle. I had forgotten how truly horrible the traffic was.
One hiccupped rendezvous later and we're heading out west, to the Pope of Dope's official residence in the Waitakere Ranges. Two wood pigeons parked up in the bush greet us on arrival. The view is astounding. It's all there, Rangitoto, Sky City (albeit as a prick on the horizon). It's the Auckland I never knew. Wait! What's that sound in the distance? Is it... public transport railway?
Friday day is prep day. Lots of mouths to feed this weekend. Head into town for the 4:20 near Albert Park. Maryjane, the Cannabus is there, up and running after only three years from its inception. After a significant smoke, a crowd heads out on the bus into Auckland Friday night gridlock. I get out while the bus is idling near the Viaduct, heading around the waterfront and across to the North Shore on the ferry.
Head on round to RRB's house, a cigarette's length from the jetty. From there, it's off to the Northcote Tavern, a throwback to the glorious bar and bistro days of my childhood. It's Friday night and there's fuck all people there, for shame. Not trendy enough, eh. RRB and the Northcote's chef share a walking bus connection, spinning a yarn in the garden bar. She cooks up a nice scotch fillet and chips too.
Saturday morning, head out to Prince's Wharf to attend the NORML annual conference on board Te Aroha. It's a good meeting, and my paper on what the latest version of the Electoral Finance Bill means for NORML is well received. Now I'm committed to writing to the Electoral Commission to seek guidance on NORML's response to the EFB.
The AGM is wrapped up quickly, as the party-goers are about to board. It's time for cruising the harbour, relaxation, irie tunes, loads of kai, and the "Show Your Grow" competition (a spin-off from the annual Cannabis Cup). The co-host has provided beer and steaks, as well as other festive amenities. I grab a Steinie and crank up the barbie. Not 200 yards away, a police launch wanders past. It'll pass by discreetly another three or five times during the evening, as bass booms and clouds of smoke diffuse in our wake.
After I've backlogged the buffet for the 70 people on board, I head up to the Auckland's heads in the bowls. After years of tolerating Wellington's bush weed, it was a real pleasure to get to see some fine Auckland skunk again. Aucklanders won't touch bush. It's skunk or nothing. About a dozen entries and there's three outstanding ones. One bud, big as your fist, sits there begging to be scratched and sniffed. I feel like Neil Miller at the Beer Festival, or Jules at Toast Martinborough.
New Zealand is a nation for Epicureans. Our Rieslings are up there with Germany. While our Cab/Merlots have a way to go before we top the Ozzies (Penfold's Grange, Mmmmmm. Sorry Mr Brajkovich!), the Pinots are getting there. Three cheers for Tuatara Pale Ale! Dagg bless that Manuka Honey! Woohoo for Kapiti Foods and Puhoi too! And the lamb... The lamb lies down on Ohakune potato mash and mint jus. New Zealanders are the best growers and seeders of cannabis in the world. We outrank Marrakesh, Amsterdam and Nepal in quality. This is no hashish, dudes. This is the real fluffy thing. Smells sweetish-minty too.
The winner ends up being G. There were many mentions on the night of "hitting the G spot". It's a Northern Lights/White Pearl cross. The dude has been growing hard out for three years and this fine young horticulturalist deserved the win.
The partygoers depart, and the boat straddles the harbour for the night. Sunday is sloth day. Everyone's glad that the conference was done and dusted on Saturday, because it's the Mother of All Stone-overs on Sunday. The clouds burn off early in the day, and the harbour is ablaze in sun.
Farewells in the afternoon. Head off on foot from Prince's Wharf to debrief myself at my bro's apartment in Parnell. The heat coming off the bitumen makes it a stinking hot walk. There's cold beers in the fridge, although Randy is in Tauranga dealing with Family Matters. Refresh, reboot, and up to The Bog, before ferreting back for a kip.
Monday, it's back to reality. Back to Wellington. Normal blogging will resume whenever the fuck.

Are you being charged with a crime? Here are answers to common questions about the Canadian criminal justice system.
In the vast majority of cases, I advise clients who are under police investigation of their Right to Remain Silent. I suggest that you do not speak to the police without counsel being present. There is a perception that if you do not answer questions put by an investigating officer, you will appear to be guilty. However, it is most often the case that by the time the police have contacted you, a decision to lay a charge has been made.
Remember that anything that you say to the police can be used against you, whether it is in writing, on videotape or a casual comment made in the hallway of the police station. Unfortunately, if you choose to speak to the police, you may unwittingly help the prosecution's case.
Once you've been detained or arrested by the police, you will be given an opportunity to speak with counsel. I am available to speak with you and can be reached at our office number. If you cannot reach us for any reason, free legal advice is available through Legal Aid Ontario at 1-800-265-0451 (24 hours per day). You will get to speak with a lawyer for confidential and free advice.
Do not forget that there will be an opportunity to tell your side of the story at a later date and there is no rush to do so at the police station. In most cases, it is better to wait, consult with counsel, and determine the best time to tell what really happened.
Whether to plead guilty or have a trial is perhaps the biggest decision you will have to make if you are facing a criminal charge. Sometimes, clients feel that they should just plead guilty to get the charges over with - but this can be a serious mistake. A conviction can be detrimental to your opportunities for employment, affect your freedom to travel and impact upon your domestic situation.
The burden of proof in any criminal case is on the Crown Attorney. An accused person may have defences that he or she is unaware of. Possible defences can include the manner in which you Ire investigated or arrested, whether you have been provided with full disclosure of the case you have to meet and whether the right to have a trial within a reasonable period of time has been respected.
Guilty pleas need to be voluntary, and free from improper pressure or threats.
In the vast majority of cases, those charged with criminal offences are better off in Court if they have legal assistance. If you choose to have a trial, you will be at a considerable disadvantage without a lawyer. In Court, rules of evidence and law apply to all aspects of the criminal proceeding. If you do not have experienced counsel representing you, your case will not be presented as effectively.
If you do choose to plead guilty, you will still benefit from legal representation. Often the penalty sought by the Crown is too high and you need a lawyer to negotiate and advocate on your behalf. Also, while you may not have a defence to the charge there may be important factors, relevant to sentencing and the disposition of the case, which can be brought to the Court's attention by your lawyer.
What are the consequences of a drinking and driving offence?
Due to increased awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, there are significant consequences for those charged with a drinking and driving offence. For this reason, it is very important to receive advice from a lawyer with expertise in the area so that you can make an informed decision about whether to plead guilty or have a trial.
Should I defend against my drinking and driving charge?
Given the consequences of drinking and driving charges, it is very wise to consult with a lawyer with a special interest in defending these types of charges so that you can make an informed decision about whether to plead guilty or have a trial. I will review your case in detail and give you our opinion with respect to the likelihood of success at trial. I will explain the nature of any defences you have and ensure that you are aware of the consequences you face if convicted.
In the event that you choose to plead guilty following our review of your case I will represent you through that process to ensure that you receive a fair sentence and that appropriate mitigating factors are brought to the Court's attention.
I'm only 15 - what are the consequences of a criminal charge for me?
There are different principles that apply to youth justice than adults in Canada and it is important for young people and their parents to understand the Youth Criminal Justice Act and its application for those between the ages of 12 and 18.
The Act recognizes that young people often lack the maturity of adults and end up facing a criminal charge following an impulsive act. The legislation is designed to provide meaningful consequences for criminal behaviour while focusing on rehabilitation to prevent further criminal behaviour.
Because there is a wide range of sentencing options under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, it is important for young people to have legal representation to ensure that they receive the benefits of the Act. In addition, criminal charges can have an effect on a youthful offender beyond the age of 18 in certain circumstances and young people who are charged will benefit from receiving legal advice at an early stage in the proceedings. Contrary to common belief, youth court records do not get erased upon turning 18.


Some would say that Jonathan Bielaski is living a photographer's dream, capturing the magic of the world's top athletes in action for the likes of Sports Illustrated and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE).
His images of NHL phenom Connor McDavid, the Toronto FC's Michael Bradley and Iceland's Magmadive divemaster have graced the pages of the iconic sports magazine, along with portraits of Raptors' general manager Masai Ujiri and Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock.
But according to Bielaski, there's no magic behind his rise to these rarefied heights. Just a lot of good old-fashioned networking: following up on connections and potential leads. From the time he opened his studio 15 years ago in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario, Bielaski was building the relationships that led to his impressive client roster.
A health and safety software company Bielaski was working with in the Waterloo area recommended him to a connection at MLSE. Impressed with Bielaski's work, the sports franchise company has since tapped him for creative campaigns involving the Leafs, Raptors and the Toronto FC.
It was a simple marketing strategy that led to Bielaski's first job for Sports Illustrated in 2014. The magazine responded to an email the photographer sent promoting his work. "You need a great portfolio but you still have to continue getting yourself out there," he advises.
Bielaski counts other high profile companies such as Home Depot and Hydro One among his clients at Light Imaging Creative Photography Services, as well as many other magazines including Billboard and The Globe and Mail's Report on Business. A 2002 Applied Photography graduate, Bielaski's award-winning photography has also been behind this magazine since it was redesigned in 2007.
Everyone has a story. You just need to listen. Then you can capture who they are and what they do in a single frame.
Watch a behind-the-scenes video of Bielaski's shoot of Masai Ujiri, General Manager of the Toronto Raptors below.
As a complement to his editorial and commercial photography business, Bielaski launched his For the Love of It project in 2012. It is born of his desire to explore the connection between work and happiness, says Bielaski. "I have always had a fascination with peoples' jobs and how they were able to make a living doing what they loved." His environmental portraits reflect the joy and pride behind his subjects which span all ages, professions and economic backgrounds.
