A Tiny Apartment in Hong Kong Uses Adaptable Joinery to Expand the Space
Sim-Plex Design Studio transforms a 504-square-foot flat for a young family with cleverly concealed storage and a private, lofted living space for their live-in helper.
Mandi Keighran
When a couple with a young son bought a compact apartment in Hong Kong's Tseung Kwan O New Town development, they approached Sim-Plex Design Studio to undertake a renovation that makes use of flexible joinery to ensure the family's live-in helper has her own space and privacy.
"The phenomenon of 'nano-flats' in Hong Kong makes it difficult to provide an independent room to a maid," says architect Patrick Lam, founder of Sim-Plex Design Studio. "The couple hope that the new home will not only take into account the needs of their family, but also value the living space and privacy of their domestic helper."
The 504-square-foot unit originally had two bedrooms, so the architect's main challenge was to create a new, separate space for the domestic helper. With ample ceiling height to play with, Lam inserted a floating platform above the living room to fit in a third sleeping area.
The new, lofted sleeping space is accessed via a narrow staircase with storage for the domestic helper's belongings built into each step. A porthole-style opening in the side panel of the stairway increases ventilation. The new sleeping area overlooks the main living space. However, at night, the sliding door of the corridor that leads to the other bedrooms can be closed to ensure privacy for the both family and the domestic helper.
This clever approach to concealed storage is a signature element of the apartment's design. In the principal bedroom, for example, the floor was raised to create a timber platform with integrated storage. In the son's room, a lofted bed facilitates additional space underneath. The tall storage cabinet that forms the structural support for the new platform in the main living area also adds visual interest as a feature wall.
Similarly, the layout of the apartment can be configured to suit different privacy needs thanks to sliding doors that either open up the layout or break it down into more intimate spaces, as well as a lattice screen that separates the dining and living areas. "This also alleviates problems caused by lack of time to tidy up the home," says Lam.
Throughout the apartment, bespoke joinery crafted from melamine board and light maple timber features built-in shelving, cupboards, and wardrobe space. The contrast between the two finishes is designed to help zone the different spaces.
"It's always difficult to combine privacy and openness in a limited space," says Lam. "This project uses the concept of suspended space with movable, sliding doors underneath to allow for different living scenarios in order to achieve a perfect balance."

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — African warthogs, not surprisingly, are not native to Florida so state wildlife officials are investigating how one ended up loose in a suburban neighborhood.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation officials told TCPalm.com that it captured the tusky animal last month after a five-day search about 50 miles north of West Palm Beach. That included failed attempts to capture it with traps and a rope snare before a wildlife officer spotted it and tackled it. The newspaper reports the officer got some cuts on his legs in the process.
Under state law, owning a warthog requires a permit but no one in that area had one. Officials said the beast is tame and is friendly when offered food.

Defending Gonzales
I read with interest Robert Kuttner's piece on Attorney General Gonzales ("You're Fired," 3/26/07), hoping to learn some facts I hadn't known that might justify his removal. Alas, what I found was a case of guilt by association, and meaningless references to long-past historical events.
Kuttner asserts that "The firings of U.S. attorneys had multiple political motives, all contrary to longstanding practice." This statement and the examples that follow show that he's been an earnest consumer of media spin regarding this story. But he fails to make the case for either part of that assertion.
The only reason for removing Gonzales that he deigns to mention is the alleged abuses of the Patriot Act by the FBI. But the reason he knows about those is because of an investigation by -- guess who -- Alberto Gonzales's Justice Department. Strike Two.
He also accuses the Attorney General of "tampering with criminal investigations on political grounds," a very serious charge indeed. But he fails to even mention one such instance, much less make the case. That's strike three, but there's more.
Kutter writes, "&this investigation is hardly partisan, since several Republican senators and congressmen have already called for Gonzales to resign." The reasons for Gonzales's waning support among Republicans are, first, that he's not conservative enough -- a charge I presume Kuttner wouldn't agree with; and second, that he was so stupid as to blunder into this meaningless "scandal" in the first place, in effect giving rope to the lynch mob.
In Kuttner's version of justice, actual proof of a crime is unnecessary. By contrast, the Whitewater investigation produced about a dozen convictions for real crimes, including those of a sitting governor. But it might be hard to explain the difference to the torch-wielding Democratic mob.

Webb's Progressivism
Terence Samuel wrote ("According to Jim," 3/23/07), "Senator Webb is turning out to be more multi-dimensional -- and more progressive -- than anyone could have expected."
It is probably best that he speak for himself and not be presumptuous. There were many, many of us who worked for Webb's election because he has integrity, seriousness of purpose, is articulate in both speech and written word, connected in substantive rather than superficial ways with people, cares about people's welfare, is rational and intellectually honest, is accomplished in many diverse fields.
He is conservative in the sense of not being cavalier and wasteful of people's lives and taxpayer money, which I think can also be called progressive in our present context, and makes sense and presents thoughtful positions even if they are not exactly identical to one's own. And yes, he does not pander, he answers questions asked straightforwardly, and, if he were to say there is classified information which lead him to a position, one has the trust in him to believe he has done due diligence with respect to this information and he is not duped by irrational arguments and will not defer to title alone. Seems there was a war about that which has been forgotten.
It is not surprising, since it happens frequently, that the realizations of many political pundits lag behind what the non-professional knows, and pundits really should not think that others are more ignorant and less perceptive than they are. The opening of this article which make such claims is an ego massage for Samuel, but factually incorrect.

Project researchers have been able to use stem cells, as well as animal organs, to develop livers in labs, possibly eliminating the transplant waiting list.
Within a decade or so, the liver transplant waiting list will be a thing of the past.
Other organs will likely follow.
That's the hope anyway, of some researchers.
New breakthroughs in a number of different research projects are speeding up the timeline until the day when a new liver can be grown in a lab and transplanted to a waiting patient.
Researchers expect to be able to do that by 2020.
While there are temporary fixes and drugs for patients waiting for a new heart or kidneys, patients in need of a new liver typically get sicker and sicker until they die, unless a donated organ comes in time.
More than 7,800 livers were transplanted into such patients in 2016.
But more than 14,000 Americans are currently on the waiting list.
The most common reasons for the transplants are chronic hepatitis C, followed by complications from long-term alcohol abuse, other forms of hepatitis, various genetic conditions diseases in the bile ducts, or cancers originating in the liver.
If successful, the various efforts to grow livers in the lab could mark a turning a point for these desperate patients.
When combined, the buds are large enough for transplant.
That project is led by the Cincinnati Children's Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine and Japan's Yokohama City University.
It has focused on trying to grow the new livers from a patient's own stem cells, eliminating the risk of the body rejecting the new organ.
Previous methods have relied on bone marrow and cells from umbilical cords to grow new liver cells, but those sources are more difficult and controversial to obtain.
Takebe's team grew the liver tissues in custom-designed cell plates with U-shaped bottoms.
That helped them avoid using animal-derived products to help grow the new livers.
The technique should help them meet clinical manufacturing standards, Takebe said.
Another project is using animal products, but stripped of any cells, in a way that should also meet clinical-grade standards.
Jeff Ross' liver team starts with pig livers, leftover from pork butchering, and decellularizes them.
Without it, achieving continuous blood flow through the manufactured organ without clotting can be tricky.
The ghostly white former pig liver is then recellularized with liver cells.
Those are currently derived from donated livers that weren't viable for transplant for various reasons.
In the future, Ross hopes they can derive the livers from stem cells so that each liver would be individualized for the patient, eliminating the need for immunosuppressives.
By the middle of 2018, Ross hopes they will be able to transplant a recellularized liver back into a pig and show it has complete functionality.
By 2020, he hopes to transplant the first such livers in human patients in a phase 1 clinical trial.
Takebe's team also hopes to begin transplanting their bioengineered livers in human patients in clinical trials in 2020.
The use of fetal stem cells in research has come under fire in other areas, but since Takebe is working with patients' own stem cells, he said he doesn't anticipate any ethical concerns.
Ross' use of organs harvested from animals may raise some eyebrows, but the organs are typically discarded anyway in the butchering.
And, Takebe added, any ethical concerns would need to be weighed against the harm or deaths involving those waiting on the organ transplant list.
"Given that many patients are dying from end-stage conditions, they are in critical need for transplant," he said.
Uterus Transplant: Is It Ethical?
Baylor University Medical Center provides the service to educate heart transplant patients about healthy lifestyles.


Nick Clegg, Deputy prime Minister, visited Leeds College of Building earlier this week to announce a £1billion scheme to help pay towards wages for businesses in order to create new jobs. The idea behind this scheme is to get 500,000 people between the ages of 18 and 24 into training via work experience or apprenticeships.
The cash boost will give employers £2,275 towards the wages of each person they recruit between the ages of 18 and 24. In total 160,000 vacancies are going to be available and the cash boost will pay for 250,000 work experience placements as well.
More than 7500 students attend the Leeds College of Building so this money is helping to give them hands on experience and will benefit the employer and encourage the younger generation to work. See www.lcb.ac.uk.


Garden blooms are gone and foliage is fading in my neighborhood, but a few fruits remain here and there. Some will last through the winter, while others offer happy feasts for birds and critters as winter's cold, icy claw will soon grip the landscape.
As I glance around the garden, the berries, drupes, pomes and other fruits catch my eye amidst the brown and gray of "once lush" trees, shrubs, and forbs. I'll refer you to a list of types of fruits for proper identification.
Can you correctly classify these fruits? What fruits are growing and ripening in your garden?
Occasionally, I stray from the plant-specific tagline of this blog to share an experience that ties closely with that theme. Earlier this autumn, on a late-September day that felt more like high summer, a friend and I participated in a hiking event with Wisconsin women of all ages--from young children to seniors.
As defined by the Ice Age Trail Alliance (IATA), we were/are all "Trailtessas."
A Trailtessa is: "a woman or a girl who gets out on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail to experience adventure, freedom, and a new way to be." The IATA has put together a creative, impressive collection of opportunities for Trailtessas in the months ahead.
For those unfamiliar with the Ice Age Trail, it's a thousand-mile footpath winding through some of Wisconsin's most beautiful natural areas. The trail follows the outline of unique landscape features left behind as the last major glacier retreated from this area, more than 12,000 years ago. The trail is entirely within Wisconsin, and is one of 11 U.S. National Scenic Trails. I've been an IATA member for several years now: It's a worthy cause and a national treasure!
At the September event, the IATA offered information, resources, and even a few "freebies" as part of our minimal registration fee. We had to "work" for our reward, though. The event offered three trail options--from a short loop to a 2.9-mile hike. Most of us chose the latter. It was a hot day with temperatures in the 90s, and the trail looped up and down some moderate hills. But we persevered.
The reward: a lovely farm-to-table meal prepared by an excellent, local sous chef and her team. The outdoor venue was lovely, complete with 360-degree views of restored prairie and Oak savanna landscapes.
Our chef was Jamie Hoang, of Sujeo restaurant in Madison. Yum, the food was excellent!
It was such a positive experience--to hike, dine, converse, and experience with other Trailtessas such a beautiful segment of the Ice Age Trail. And as the event wound down, we witnessed the colorful glow of a stunning sunset on the landscapes all around us.
I look forward to participating in more Trailtessa events in the months ahead.
The growing season is done here in Southern Wisconsin. This will be the last "vase" post of 2017 with flowers from my own garden. Not bad, I must admit, for November in this climate.
Certainly not perfection, but a simple ode to the last flowers of the growing season.
Thanks to Cathy for hosting "In a Vase on Monday." Head on over to her blog, Rambling in the Garden, for more vase ideas.

People Discriminate Against Cats Based on Color, Too
People ascribe different personality traits to cats of different colors, a bias that skews adoption rates
Colin Schultz
Why don't you love me? Photo: Mathias
We're just a week from Halloween, which means that owners of black cats across the country are starting to keep a nervous eye on their loving pets, lest they be subjected to holiday-inspired pranks. Around this time of year, says University of California, Berkeley, black cats "can be associated with bad luck and witches," a prejudice that persists not just for a few months in the fall, but actually has important consequences year-round for the fates of these felines. People ascribe certain personality traits to cats of different colors, a bias that skews adoption rates and leaves some cats—particularly black ones—in the lurch.
Surveying cat owners, Mikel Delgado and colleagues found that people are "more likely to assign positive personality traits to orange cats and less favorable ones to white and tortoiseshell ones. Orange cats were largely regarded as friendly, white cats as aloof and tortoiseshell cats as intolerant."
"What about black cats?" asks the Huffington Post.
The survey showed that they're less likely to be adopted than cats of other colors–a big deal, since approximately 21 percent of the 86.4 million pet cats in the U.S. were adopted from shelters, according to the Humane Society of the U.S. What's more, black and other dark-colored cats are more likely to be euthanized.
The scientists remind that there is little evidence that cats of different colors behave differently than one another, but the effects of our color-associated prejudices are all too real.

We are proud to announce that our Black History Month School Tour is back. The program, led by new team member, Becks Lefranc continues BTW's legacy of sharing stories with Montreal youth through theatre. This season, schools can book Makambe K. Simamba's award-winning play, Our Fathers, Sons, Lovers and Little Brothers. Performed by the playwright themselves, young people will be captivated by a myriad of characters in a thought-provoking story. General audiences will also have a chance to catch this production at MAI from February 22-26, 2022.

Come join us as we step back into the world and back onto the stage!
Black Theatre Workshop is Canada's longest running theatre company dedicated to the works of Black and diasporic communities. BTW's mission is to promote and produce outstanding theatre that educates, entertains and inspires. The company strives to create greater cross-cultural understanding by challenging its audience and the status quo. Expanding the representation of Black Canadian artists, BTW bridges cultural divides - uniting hearts, minds and communities.
The artistic policy is to prioritize plays by Afro-Canadian playwrights in our programming, however plays are selected primarily on the basis of their artistic merit and their relevance to Black society and culture. This addresses the growing need among the multitude of Black communities in Canada to see themselves reflected in the stories they watch and to further answer the need for general audiences to better understand and participate in the many varied aspects of Black culture.

Jens Kunik is a painter based in Berlin. His artistic practice is tied together with research from his travels to India and Asia drawing from cultural archetypes, psychomagic (a therapeutic practice used by Alejandro Jodorowsky which combines art, Eastern philosophies, mysticism and modern psychotherapy to heal patients) and shamanic traditions where imagination becomes a powerful instrument that both the artist and the shaman use for their work. Jens studied at the Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie and subsequently held studios in New York, Düsseldorf and Cologne, eventually settling in Berlin in 2001. His work is included in several collections including the Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiburg, Germany.

MANSFIELD – Hundreds of computers within the Mansfield City School district have been replaced, upgraded and discarded over the summer, a representative from the district's technology services provider said Tuesday.
City Mills Technology owner David Rose updated the Mansfield City Schools Board of Education on the work his company has performed since April.
Rose said City Mills has made a number of updates to district computers, including an overhaul of network operating systems, software and hardware replacements, the addition of new computer labs and removal of outdated and defective computers.
"The goal is to have all the students in the district using and touching the latest software out in the marketplace," Rose said. "I think everybody is going to be excited and pleased when they get to experience the new labs."
All of the district's computer labs have either been upgraded with new hard drives, flat-screen monitors and RAM or had their computers replaced in their entirety.
Among eight of the district's buildings, Rose said more than 350 computers have been either upgraded or replaced. That includes the purchase of 22 new computers specifically for the career tech program's engineering lab.
Superintendent Brian Garverick said he has spoken to several district staff who have commended City Mills for its hands-on approach and responsiveness to district needs.
"They've been here just a few months, they have a crew of about five people and they work like ants," Garverick said. "They're here on Saturdays, Sundays — it's amazing. We're very placed with their response so far."
The new computers and upgrades to district technology have been made possible through a number of appropriations approved by the district's Financial Planning and Supervision Commission over the summer.
Included among this summer's technology upgrades is a reconfiguration of security cameras at Mansfield Senior High School. Rose said all security cameras are now functioning.
Board president Renda Cline said it is important to have those security cameras up and running.
"That makes parents feel a lot better," said Cline, a mother of three. "It's good to know that (students) will be in a safe environment."
Rose said he expects to present several additional technology improvement proposals to the board Sept. 16.

Porcelain veneers can solve a number of dental imperfections. From discolored to crooked teeth, from chipped to uneven teeth, veneers are a relatively pain-free option for optimizing your smile. So how do you know if veneers are right for you?
How severe are the defects of your teeth? Some more severe dental problems (such as root decay) may be best solved by alternative procedures.
Do you have existing fillings or other corrective applications (such as false teeth, bridges, etc.)? This may increase the cost or time needed to apply veneers.
What's your budget? Because they are permanent, veneers should be done right. Using the highest-grade material and a well-established dentist like Dr. Lim will pay off in the long run. Shopping around can help you save money, but when in doubt, choose quality over price.
Porcelain veneers are tough, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. If your smile is in need of an upgrade, contact us for a consultation to get started.


Here is a card I made for a friends wedding. The black and scarlet colored paper and the scarlet ribbon are from PTI, the designer paper and cream paper is from DCWV La Creme Stack. I added the pearls to the designer paper, they are from Basic Grey.


I did it. I ran the Brighton Half Marathon. I ran it in two hours, 13 minutes, and 13 seconds. That's the fastest I've ever run. I didn't stop once and damn does that feel good to say! I ran with pacers. Those are the lovely people who volunteer to run the race at a certain pace so if you're like me and get over excited, you don't run in a dead sprint the first two miles then die.
One of the pacers was a part of the Studio 57 Clinic and wore a bright blue lycra body suit that even covered his face! I don't know what that man looks like or who he is, but I'm in love with him and would marry him. Whenever we passed a portion of the crowd that was a bit quiet he'd shout at them, "Let's hear some noise for the 2:15 group!" It was so much fun running with such and enthusiastic man dressed as a cobalt Gumby.
I found the whole Half Marathon experience amazing. It was really rewarding raising money for RISE, the training was hard yet fun, and the day of the Half Marathon was fantastic! After the race the RISE volunteers had tea and cake for us runners! TEA and CAKE!!!
Anyway, I got chatting to Julie at RISE and asked if they have runners in the marathon, she said yes, in fact, a space just opened up on the 2015 team. My first thought was, "No I couldn't. I'm not ready yet". Then on the train ride back to London I thought, "I'm already half-way there…and if I'm going to run a Marathon before I'm 30 (which would be in November) this is my chance." So I emailed Julie and said I'm in!
So I went from thinking I had finished to realising I had only just started! I've committed to raising another £500 for RISE and especially after meeting the people who work for the company, there's not a charity I'd want to run for more. The Marathon is on 12th April, so if I stay focused I'll be ready. During some of my training I'll be on tour in South East Asia, so I'm looking forward to seeing and running new places.
Wish me luck! Here we go again!

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters
Long before Motown officially put Detroit on the international musical map and humble little recording studios started popping up all over town in the mammoth wake of Hitsville U.S.A.'s unprecedented success, the Motor City could already lay claim to more than its share of street corner vocal groups, even if there weren't many local record labels to transfer their sweet harmonies onto wax during the 1950s. The modest imprints that did exist were mom-and-pop operations like Fortune Records, which released seminal mid-'50s vocal group sides by The Diablos, most notably their ethereal ballad The Wind.
Nolan Strong, the lead tenor of The Diablos, was one of Smokey Robinson's principal influences. Other local singers opted to idolize the modern jazz-inflected harmonies of The Four Tops, who were a force around town for nearly a decade before Motown managed to pin them down to a longterm contract. But for more than a few up-and-coming young aggregations, it didn't get any better than Hank Ballard and The Midnighters. They were the first Detroit R&B group to transcend their local standing to really make it big on a national basis, and Ballard was their chief source of material as well, composing nearly all of his group's hits and a great many more classics that didn't dent the charts.
"The Midnighters were The Temptations before The Temptations in Detroit," exclaims Joe Harris, a member of The Peps during the '60s and eventually handpicked by Motown producer Norman Whitfield to be lead singer of The Undisputed Truth. "I was really deciding that this was what I wanted to do when I was hanging around those guys, 'cause they always seemed like they were having a lot of fun."
Their impact wasn't limited to the Motor City. The Midnighters were the first professional vocal group young James Brown ever witnessed in person. He and Bobby Byrd were dazzled by their crowd-pleasing antics at the Greenville Textile Hall in Greenville, South Carolina, and they vowed one day soon they'd be onstage doing the very same thing.
Recording initially for the Federal subsidiary of Cincinnati-based King Records and later the parent imprint itself, The Midnighters were hitmakers from 1954 on, when their salacious Work With Me Annie crashed the peak of the R&B hit parade and was one of the most important rhythm and blues waxings of the year. Its inherent raunchiness precipitated corporate hand-wringing from coast to coast as uptight radio programmers banned the leering anthem from their lily-white airwaves. But that didn't deter teenagers of every hue from buying the platter, even if they had to hide it from their disapproving parents.
Ballard's piercing, slightly pinched lead tenor was quite invigorating and immediately identifiable. And not only were Hank and his Midnighters devastating on wax, concentrating primarily on blistering rockers and only occasionally slowing down for a blues-permeated ballad, they were relentless high-energy showmen, engaging in rowdy onstage routines that were as influential to their acolytes as their recordings. When it came to their raucous choreography, Hank readily deferred to his high-stepping mid-'50s group mates, tenor Henry Booth (a master at doing the splits who had started out with another Detroit group, The Serenaders), tenor/baritone Lawson Smith, and bass singer Ardra 'Sonny' Woods.
"We created dances on the stage for the songs. If it looked good and everybody liked it, and the three of us liked it, we'd keep it in. Because Hank didn't dance," says Norman Thrasher, who replaced Woods in 1957. "We all did the splits. We created the dances on how we would feel, 'cause each one of us would take an individual part on the stage doing 'The Twist' or doing 'Finger Poppin' Time' or doing 'Let's Go.' Then we had those comical outfits up under our clothes. I would have them big drawers on, them big bloomers on. And I'd jump off the stage, dance up the aisles, and pull 'em off and hit folks in the head with 'em!" Although King Records inevitably placed a solo photo of Hank on their album covers, this was a full-fledged vocal group whose shenanigans deeply impacted the next generation of Motor City vocal aggregations.
"We always had patterned our group after The Midnighters," says Joe Billingslea of The Contours, who gave Motown one of its first R&B chart-toppers in 1962 with their gritty Do You Love Me. The Contours' amazing acrobatics followed in the athletic footsteps of The Midnighters, and their first audition for Berry Gordy reflected the impact of their heroes on their repertoire. "We did 'Whole Lotta Woman,' 'Come On And Be Mine,' and another song, probably one of Hank Ballard and The Midnighters' songs, because we were definitely Midnighters fans," says Billingslea. "We patterned our routines after The Midnighters."
"We had been on a show with those guys," says The Contours' Billy Hoggs. "They helped us out a few times when we did a show with them. We went backstage and talked to 'em, and asked them what did they think they could criticize us on that we need to improve. And they told us a few pointers. Anytime we were on a show with someone more adept, or more experienced in the field, we'd ask them suggestions. And then we would incorporate it."
Ballard wasn't even part of the group when they began recording, and they didn't start out as The Midnighters. Their genesis goes back to 1950, when original lead tenor Charles Sutton joined forces with three more denizens of Detroit's East Side--Booth, Woods, and baritone Freddie Pride (a close friend of Jackie Wilson's, who was part of their musical social circle along with future Four Tops lead Levi Stubbs)--to form The Royals. An early promotional blurb from King Records claimed they'd originally been known as The Four Falcons. Entranced by the beautiful harmonies of out-of-town hitmakers such as The Orioles, Five Keys, and Dominoes, they fashioned a repertoire heavy on ballads. Also part of their fledgling group was the more experienced Alonzo Tucker (probably born November 21, 1915), who would serve as one of their primary songwriters and arrangers and knew his way around a guitar. When Pride was drafted into the military, Lawson Smith took his place.

Kavana is the debut studio album by British singer-songwriter Kavana. Kavana was discovered by Take That's manager Nigel Martin-Smith, and was subsequently signed to his label in early 1996. The album was recorded throughout 1996 and the beginning of 1997, being released the week following the album's fourth single, "MFEO". Kavana worked with many big name stars on the album, including Lulu ("Protected", who also provides backing vocals for the track) and Howard Donald ("Crazy Chance"). The album was released on 11 April 1997 to good critical reception, however only reached #29 on the UK Albums Chart. Subsequently, second pressing copies of the album have a "Reduced Price" logo printed on the booklet and were retailed shortly before the release of "Crazy Chance '97". However, again these failed to increase the album's chart position. Both "I Can Make You Feel Good" and "MFEO" became UK Top 10 hits, both peaking at #8 respectively.

Singles
 "Crazy Chance" was released as the lead single from the album. The track peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart. Additional tracks released alongside the single included; "Wait for the Day" (later released on the album), "Crazy Chance (instrumental version), "Wait for the Day" (instrumental version), "One More Chance" (later released as a Japanese bonus) and "Crazy Chance" (12" version).
 "Where Are You" was released as the second single from the album. The track peaked at #26 on the UK Singles Chart. Additional tracks on the single release include; "Where Are You" (7" radio version), "For the Very First Time" (instrumental version), "Crazy Chance" (brand new mix), "For the Very First Time" (full version), "Where Are You" (live version).
 "I Can Make You Feel Good" was released as the third single from the album. The track peaked at #8 on the UK Singles Chart. Additional tracks on the single release include; "Dangerous" (non-album track), "I Can Make You Feel Good" (7" version), "I Can Make You Feel Good" (the Rapino Brothers edit), "Crazy Chance" (12" mastermix), "I Can Make You Feel Good" (the Rapino Brothers 12"), "For the Very First Time" (extended disco mix), "Dangerous" (instrumental version).
 "MFEO" was released as the fourth single from the album. The track peaked at #8 on the UK Singles Chart. Additional tracks on the single release include; "MFEO" (Cutfather & Joe 7" version), "MFEO" (7" master version), "MFEO" (raw beats mix), "Work" (Harding and Curnow version), "MFEO" (Cutfather & Joe full version), "MFEO" (steppers mix), "MFEO" (Phil Chill mix).
 "Crazy Chance '97" was released as the last single from the album. The track peaked at #16 on the UK Singles Chart. Additional tracks on the single release include; "Listen for the Music" (non-album track), "Crazy Chance" ('97 version), "Crazy Chance" (T-empo's hard dub), "Crazy Chance" (T-empo's club mix), "Everything to Me" (non-album track).
