If the dispute cannot be resolved, the objecting party may invoke this Protective Order by objecting in writing to the party who designated the document or information as Classified Information. The designating party shall then have 14 days to move the court for an order preserving the designated status of the disputed information. The disputed information shall remain Classified Information unless and until the [6] court orders otherwise. Failure to move for an order shall constitute a termination of the status of such item as Classified Information. b. Qualified Persons. In the event that any party in good faith disagrees with the designation of a person as a Qualified Person or the disclosure of particular Classified Information to such person, the parties shall first try to resolve the dispute in good faith on an informal basis.

When we recently saw our glamorous pal Melodie Johnson, in head-to-toe Chanel at a birthday party for Joel Goodrich, she was excited to tell us all about the fun weekend trip she had just taken to Las Vegas. But she was there not for the usual Vegas fun – it was to visit a special eight-day, invitation-only installation that Chanel presented at the Wynn, named "Numeros Prive." Designed to dazzle and delight, it was a unique fashion moment that Chanel fans like Johnson (who loved everything she saw) will never forget.
For the occasion, Chanel chartered a fleet of private planes from New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco to shuttle in socialites, celebrities and clients. It started on a Friday night with a dinner party which included San Francisco customers like Vanessa Getty, Sloan Barnett, Marissa Mayer, Katie Traina, Alison Pincus, Victoire Reynal, and Deborah Lee Minor, who dined among celebrities and fashionistas Jessica Alba, Diane Kruger, Lily Collins, Rachel Zoe, China Chow, Gia Coppola, Dree Hemingway and Poppy Delevigne, among others.
The event featured Chanel's iconic codes re-imagined to inspire and excite visitors in ten magical spaces where materials, figures, symbols, colors and coveted objects — all created by Chanel — were transformed and reinterpreted.
Upon arriving at the installation, guests entered through a symbolic curtain of white beads, a reference to the pearls adored by Mademoiselle Chanel. Melodie Johnson said this was her favorite piece at the exhibit, and we have to agree it was a stunning effect!
After walking through the promenade, guests experience the first space: a spacious children's bedroom filled with dolls designed by Karl Lagerfeld.
This room introduced guests to the creative and ingenious world of Karl Lagerfeld by incorporating projects, works and sketches.
In 1955, Gabrielle Chanel pioneered the shoulder bag with her creation of her legendary 2.55 handbag. To learn about the exceptional skills involved in making this bag, visitors stepped through a futuristic air-lock chamber and found themselves inside a 2.55 handbag.
With walls lined in sensuous leather, digital displays and a wall of videos showing each step of the creative process — while hearing sound effects from the workshop — the room offers a sensory, mechanical and aesthetic take on one of Chanel's most emblematic creations.
After leaving the 2.55 space, visitors entered the Haute Couture room, a recreation of Gabrielle Chanel's apartment at 31 Rue Cambon complete with her famous Coromandel screens and tall mirrors.
Visitors had the rare opportunity to absorb Chanel's Haute Couture experience by viewing both Haute Couture images and dresses in person.
Graphic, the next room, evoked today's colourful and loud era through a game of lights and sounds. Music and noises mixed with luminous projections of snowflakes and numbers while giant hourglasses counting time adorned the room. The floor, covered with a drawing of a watch's face, was designed to remind visitors of the newest Chanel icon: the J12 watch.
Surrounded by camellia trees, guests were reminded of Jean Cocteau's classic "Beauty and the Beast" as they re-entered the promenade area. The garden space highlighted Chanel's fine jewelry collection.
Moving along, visitors had the opportunity to take a playful look at the most famous Chanel icons — the lion, the clover leaf, the double Cs, the number five and the perfume bottle — through a forest of emblems denoting the Chanel mystique. Finally, the pop art room was covered with silk-screened images of the celebrated Chanel No. 5 bottle.

How Nishtha beat the pain
Warriors that go unnoticed are no less brave than those who get recognition. One such fighter is Nishtha Pathak, who got abused, depressed and suffered Fibromyalgia yet conquered it all
She was in fourth grade, when Nishtha was abused for the first time by her neighbour's son who was twice her age. "I couldn't understand what was happening but deep down my heart, I knew it was something wrong", she recalls. The abuse continued till she reached eighth grade and by seven different men at different times of her life!
When she realised that this was a matter of concern she started to stay away from those people and they, realising that she has understood what this is all about, too stopped their carnal activities. Although she was out of abuse, she had another challenge to overcome.
That was the time she started taking anti depressants as she wasn't old enough to understand the gravity of what was happening to her.
And nine years ago, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body, which is the result of extreme physical and emotional abuse in the past. When asked about the condition Nishtha said, "Hurt is not a big enough word, there doesn't seem to be a big enough or strong enough word to describe the pain of fibromyalgia".
"When I tell people that everything hurts, I mean I cannot find a part of me that is not in pain. I don't know what it's like to wake up pain-free. There's tingling, numbing, aching, throbbing, shooting, sharp, knife-like, needle-like, scratching, burning, intense, scary, I'm-going-to-pass-out pains. It's indescribable. It's going to end with my last breath. It affects your whole body plus your mind and emotions".
She was 16 when she was diagnosed with it and was even told honestly by the doctor that there is no cure for the same. So she took an year drop from school to take time to come in terms with the fact that she has certain medical condition that is so intense. Gradually she mustered up the courage to realise that she will have to cope up with it and that too positively for her own good.
All this had taught her to appreciate the low pain level days and to push the limits in the bad ones. Earlier she used to compare herself to others and feel bad about it but with time she has learnt that she is her own competition and has to beat herself up every single day.
Currently, she has a daily routine of going to coaching, gym sessions, studies and fun, all while dealing with Fibromyaligia. She takes good care of herself physically and emotionally. She says the pain doesn't stop and is still the same as it was nine years back. But now she has built the courage and will to fight it.
"All of this has made me feel guilty and ashamed at some point of time in my life but then I am unapologetic for who I am. I am a fighter and that's unapologetically me. Be your own hero and be somebody's morphine".
How Ruby tackled her mental abuse
Trauma of abuse affects romantic relations
Many of us face abuse from the same person whom once we thought would be the source of ultimate happiness for us. But what to do when things don't turn up the way we thought?
Ritika SrivastavaTeentalkindia Counsellor
It all started when Ruby met this boy from her College. He was charming and had a great sense of humor. They started dating immediately and post ten months, she gradually started exploring different parts of his personality. After he had already won her heart, a few digs or small putdowns started to come her way.
Months started going by and between many of the good times, there were put-downs here and there. Going to a restaurant, where there was this table and a chair near the wall, he says to Ruby, "Why don't you sit there in the corner and put a hat on it", like she was a stupid or something. Other comments like Idiot, Crazy came later as the intensity of their relationship got worse due to the verbal abuse and other factors.
Over time, she started realizing that he manipulated her to make her think that she was the reason for his emotional or verbal abuse and then, she had to finally wake up. So, the greatest gift that she gave to herself last Christmas is to walk away from him and get her spirits back.
So, here are few steps to get out of such mental exploitation:
Get your power back: The easiest way to do this is to be willing to move on from the relationship. This makes you to move forward with the next steps from a place of power, not a place of fear.
Set limits for criticism and emotional outbursts: Listen to the concerns others have about your actions and how they affect them, but don't engage in conversations that attack who you are as a person.
Consider others concerns: Don't agree to do things simply in order to keep the peace or save the relationship, especially if deep down you know it isn't right for you.
Be clear and honest with yourself first: Consider your values, goals, and needs. Make sure your decisions are in alignment with your highest self, needs and all.
Find people and experiences that celebrate who you are: Find ways to reconnect with the powerful person you truly are. Engage and connect with other peopel who support and love you for exactly who you are.
At the end of the day, only you can decide if his controlling behavior is something you are willing to live with or not. Relationships should be something that supports your growth, not something that diminishes it.

'Brave' Limerick jockey, 25, loses cancer battle a day before wedding
Maria Flannery
maria.flannery@limerickleader.ie
Laura Barry was a promising apprentice jockey before her diagnosis
TRIBUTES have been paid to a Limerick jockey who sadly lost her cancer battle just a day before she was due to marry.
Laura Barry from Raheen, died peacefully at Milford Hospice in the early hours of this Friday morning. She was just 25 years old.
On Saturday, she was due to marry Ben Hamilton, the brother of jockey Tony Hamilton. It is understood that the couple tied the knot privately before Laura passed away.
The promising young jockey had been living in the UK for several years, after going over to train as a full-time jockey when she finished school.
But Laura was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of nerve cancer in 2016, and was eventually left paralysed in one leg after a surgery. She noticed the cancer after experiencing pain in her leg.
Daughter of Catherine and David Barry, the young woman is also missed by her sisters Alison and Kate, and her new stepson Harry.
She is also survived by her grandparents Gordon and Catherine Spillane, mother-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives and her many friends.
Laura went to northern England to ride as an apprentice for Richard Fahey several years ago. Speaking this Friday to the Racing Post, her former mentor paid tribute to the young woman.
"She was a wonderful, wonderful person and she passed away with dignity. She was a super girl, just a super, super girl, and it's so very sad for everyone.
"It's horrendous. There's no good time for anything like that, but it's extremely sad – she was due to get married tomorrow. She's a girl I'm very proud to have known, she was a simply wonderful girl."
After a brave battle, devastated to hear of the untimely passing of former apprentice Laura Barry at such a young age. Thoughts with Ben and her many, many, family and friends. RIP ⭐
— Niall Hannity (@Niallhannity) July 13, 2018
Jockey Gemma Tutty, who organised a major fundraising effort last year for her best friend, said: "She was so tremendously brave and fought tenaciously right until the end.
"We made memories together that will last a lifetime and I'm so grateful that racing brought us together. I couldn't be prouder to call her my best friend."
We are very saddened to hear that Laura Barry has passed away after a brave battle. A talented apprentice jockey, she has been taken far too young. We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Rest in Peace Laura.

Laura rode 18 winners in her career from 2010 to 2014.

Her funeral details are as follows:
Funeral arriving at John's Cathedral for Requiem Mass on Monday (July 16) at 2.30pm. Funeral afterwards at Shannon Crematorium.


Sandra Oh made Emmy history this year as the first Asian woman nominated as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, thanks to her role in BBC America's Killing Eve. But it was her parents who stole the show at the ceremony on Monday night (September 17), when they accompanied their daughter on the red carpet.
Sandra Oh and her father arrive at the 70th annual Emmy Awards in front of the new electric Audi e-tron.
Joon-soo and Young-nam Oh even joined the actress and Grey's Anatomy alum in front of the cameras—most notably, to gush about Sandra during an interview with Variety. "I'm so proud of her," Young-nam said before planting a kiss on her daughter's cheek.
"Oh my God, that happened on film!" Sandra said in response.
People also noted that Mrs. Oh wore a hanbok, a Korean dress often worn at formal celebrations and ceremonies, to the Emmys. (Sandra actually wore a modern take on a hanbok to the SAG awards in 2008.) For many, Mrs. Oh's dress was a proud moment of representation. Mr. Oh, meanwhile, looked dashing in his tux.
Throughout the night, the camera panned to Sandra's parents sitting next to her, and they excitedly cheered her on as her category was announced. Sandra has received five Emmy nominations for her work on Grey's Anatomy but never won, and many hoped this year would be her big moment. However, The Crown's Claire Foy ended up receiving the award. Still, we hope this means Sandra will continue getting recognized for her work—and bringing her parents to award shows, obviously.

What you get for $7-a-month Disney Plus subscription
UNB News
Publish- November 12, 2019, 01:07 AM
"The Simpsons," ''Cinderella" and several movies from the Star Wars and Marvel universes will share a streaming home Tuesday as Disney Plus debuts.
Subscribers will initially get more than 500 movies and 7,500 TV episodes. That's expected to grow to 620 movies and 10,000 episodes in five years, as existing deals with rival streaming services expire.
The service will cost $7 a month, or $70 for the year if paid up front. Four people can stream simultaneously on a single subscription. Disney Plus is also offering downloads for offline viewing on up to 10 devices.
Here's a look at what will be available at launch:
"The Mandalorian" Star Wars series, about a bounty hunter from the same planet as Boba Fett. First episode on Tuesday, with a new episode every Friday.
"High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," a mockumentary about a high school musical, with episodes airing weekly.
Live-action version of the Disney animated classic "Lady and the Tramp."
"Noelle," a holiday movie starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader.
Documentary series "Encore!" reuniting high school musical casts to perform their shows again, featuring Kristen Bell.
Documentary series about Disney called "The Imagineering Story."
"The World According to Jeff Goldblum," in which the actor tackles different topics like sneakers and tattoos.
"Marvel's Hero Project" a nonfiction series about kids who perform community service.
Pixar animated short film series "Forky Asks a Question," about a character from "Toy Story 4," and SparkShorts, Pixar's animated short film program.
Disney's movie classics such as "Cinderella," ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," ''Pinocchio," ''Swiss Family Robinson" and "Fantasia."
The majority of the 21 Pixar movies will be on the service. Disney Plus won't launch with a few, including "Coco," and "Toy Story 4," but all of them should be available within the first year.
Past 30 seasons of "The Simpsons."
Two X-Men movies, "X-Men: Evolution" and "Wolverine and the X-Men."
Other Fox movies such as "Avatar," ''Home Alone" and "Miracle on 34th Street."
Eight movies initially: "Avengers: Endgame," ''Avengers: Age of Ultron," ''Iron Man," ''Iron Man 3," ''Captain Marvel," ''Thor: The Dark World," ''Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant-Man"
The first two trilogies: "The Phantom Menace," ''Attack of the Clones," ''Revenge of the Sith," ''A New Hope," ''The Empire Strikes Back," ''Return of the Jedi."
Two newer entrants: "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One."
The full library including shows such as "Wild Yellowstone," ''Kingdom of the White Wolf" and "Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted."
Some movies and shows will await expiration of existing streaming deals with rivals. The Pixar cartoon "Coco," the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" and the Star Wars movies "The Last Jedi" and "Solo" fall in this category.
Others like "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" and "The Lion King" remake haven't been released for streaming yet. "Maleficent" is still in theaters.
Other original TV shows like Marvel's "Loki" are still in the works.

Murthy planned to stay in the army.
That's really quite an accomplishment. I have to agree with Sir. The man's third attempt to stop smoking failed. She is going to Chiba Stadium. Would a postponement help? I asked the butcher to trim all the fat off of the meat. Is that my mug? I'm fed up with her. I left a note by your door this morning. Some things can't be fixed.

Nocturnal Wonderland - Day 1


I always try to keep an eye on working of Postal Department. When I went to Speed Post Center to book a Speed Post article on 18th April 2012, I came to know that in Ahmedabad that "One India One Rate" for Speed Post article has been increased from Rs. 25/- to Rs. 26/- and local Speed Post rate has been increased to Rs. 13/- from Rs. 12/-, because Service Tax has been increased to 12.36% from 10.30% on and from 1st April 2012. On inquiry I came to know that Vadodara and Nadiad had also increased the Speed Post rate to Rs. 26/- and Rs. 13/- respectively.
On 16th May 2012, I got another shock when the officer-in-duty in Speed Post Center at Ahmedabad told me that the increased rate on Local Speed Post and "One India One Rate" has been rolled back on and from 14th May 2012.
In the mean time I came to know from my friends that Mumbai, Kanpur, Coimbatore and Jabalpur have also increased the rates. But Kolkata, New Delhi, Akola, Dhanbad, Chennai, Pune, Gurgaon has not increased the Speed Post Charges for the above referred classes.
The Director Philately, New Delhi under RTI application wrote vide letter no. 26-02/2012-BD&MD dated 07.06.2012 that local Speed Post Charges and "One India One Rate" charges never increased. They are still Rs. 12/- and Rs. 25/- respectively.
Now the question arises- how India Post has charged more from certain post offices? And if the tariff is never increased, is India Post going to return the excess money charged by them?
While studying the above excess charging I found that on 8.5.2012, Tajnapeth P.O. of Akola has charged Service Tax of Rs. 3.09 on Rs. 35/- Speed Post Charges. This comes to 10.30% when Service Tax is 12.36%.
Another anomaly which I found is Ahmedabad RMS is showing Tax of Rs. 1.32 on Rs. 12/- when Laskar H. O. is showing Rs. 1.15 as Service Tax on Rs. 12/-.
Conclusion of the above article is – Be alert and keep your eyes open, you may find interesting lapses of India Post.

Painting Faustina - The Power of Vulnerability and Surrender.
'The Power of Vulnerability and Surrender'
A Portrait of Faustina Agolley
By Tamara Armstrong
100cm (H) x 150cm (Width)
On spotting Faustina...
When I first had the idea of asking Faustina if I could paint her portrait, I wasn't exactly sure why it felt right, but I did feel compelled to ask. I only vaguely knew her face from her 'TV Hits' days and more recently started following her on Instagram after seeing her 'coming out' announcement via social media two years ago on her 31st birthday – which was shared by our mutual friend Sarah Wilson.
Faustina's announcement read: "As black as my skin, as Chinese as my blood, and as Australian and British are my nationalities, I'm also a proud Gay Woman. Most importantly though, I'm a happy human being."
Accompanying the words was an image of Faustina sitting beside this giant rainbow birthday cake that had sparkly flames, like mini fireworks streaming out the top of it. Her face in the photo just radiated sheer joy. It was one of those images you instantly see and just cannot help but smile. The image was shared on instagram and Twitter by quite a few people I followed and I just felt so overwhelmingly happy for her.
I started following Faustina via social media and noticed how joyous, optimistic, upbeat, interesting and fun her posts and images were. She seemed to me to have a somewhat child-like innocence about her, baking fun cakes and making cute craft and always beaming a gorgeous gratuitous smile. She shared different things she was learning about the civil rights era while travelling around different parts of the U.S. and I particularly loved one of her posts about finding an amazing lady who showed her how to properly care for her Afro.
On asking Faustina...
After completing my portrait of Yassmin Abdel-Magied last year to try my luck at the Archibald Prize for the first time, I knew I was hooked on the process and connection that portraiture brings with it and I would need to start thinking about a potential sitter to ask for the following year (2017). Now I can't recall which instagram post it was of Faustina's that sparked my idea of asking her but I think we came close to meeting when I was in Melbourne and she had replied to one of my comments asking if I was still around. Unfortunately I had already flown home after a quick trip for the opening of the 'Trailblazing Women of Herstory' exhibition. But shortly after that, close to the very end of 2016, I sent her a private message on instagram (because I couldn't seem to find an email address for her) telling her about my art practice and asking if she may consider being my sitter for the next Archibald Prize entry. To my absolute delight, I did eventually get a response from Faustina and on new years eve of all nights! She only found my message in her requests that day and she also wrote some really kind words about my artwork and style and despite feeling 'not worthy' enough to be painted for the Archibald Prize, she was willing to chat more and gave me her phone number. I was STOKED! And very excited to talk with her and find out more about her.
I called her later that week and talking with her was easy. Faustina has a way of making you feel relaxed and on an even playing field, she is an incredible listener and a very deep thinker. She has an amazing way with words and I remember thinking 'Whoa! This lady is super intelligent!' We ended up chatting for over an hour, I told her about my practice and what it is I seek to portray through my work and she told me the incredible story about how she came to work with Oprah, a life long goal she had actively pursued and feared might never be possible, only to have it virtually be placed in her hands soon after she almost gave up. I was so moved and inspired by this story and how things really do come around full circle and often when you least expect it.
The next incredible thing to happen during our chat was to find out that Faustina has family not so far from where I live. I had every intention of flying down to Melbourne to make it possible for us to meet and have a portrait sitting, but Faustina told me to hold that thought as she had been planning to be up this way in March to meet her newest nephew. It seemed too easy at this point and just felt right. Sure enough after a few more chats on the phone and some texting back and forth, we locked in a day to meet and Faustina even found an amazing dress to wear especially for the sitting. She had previously seen and fallen in love with this Marimekko dress and figured this portrait was the perfect excuse to get it. When she sent me a photo of her wearing it at the Melbourne Marimekko store, I was so excited to not only paint her, but also to paint this beautiful rainbow dress. Shit was getting real!
On meeting Faustina...
Faustina graciously gave me a whole day of her time, so that we could officially meet and have our portrait sitting. I organised for us to use my friend Rach's amazing studio The Craft Parlour, which was just perfect for shutting out the outside world and feeling at ease in this really calm space, while also being close to halfway between the two of us. As soon as I picked Faustina up I noticed she looked tired, obviously I didn't say that to her but when we got to the studio she had told me she was feeling quite exhausted and fatigued and had come off the back of a really full couple of weeks of work and travel, so wasn't feeling entirely herself. I was really grateful to her for still giving me this time, especially considering how tired she was and knowing the main purpose of her visit was to be with her family. To this day I can't thank her enough for that.
My ideas for the portrait were not previously formed, but I knew I wanted it to be bold, joyful and colourful. I also had to face the reality that I would not know how this portrait would ultimately turn out because when you are attempting to capture someone else's essence, you just can't if you project too much of your own preconceived ideas onto the work. That block of time that Faustina and I spent together was really valuable both for my artwork and for all of the insights she shared with me about the lessons life has taught her thus far. Our conversations helped me see great value in my own approach to my life and in a way I hadn't previously recognised. I felt equally safe and respected by her to open up about my life and the experiences that have changed and shaped me. All in all, I knew we had forged a friendship if nothing else, but my motivation to paint her in a way that truly reflected this day and my experience of her was taken to a totally different and unexpected level.
I continued to absorb that day, Faustina's words and her appearance for the weeks that followed. We chatted and I text her as questions popped up in my head, in the hopes of finding a really obvious answer as to how I should portray her. Silly me!
Ideas came to me and for whatever reason I kept fighting them. I knew this portrait was going to be a surprise, but I had no idea how much it would challenge me - and before I even put paint to canvas. I narrowed down my ideas to just a handful and wrote out pros and cons for each. I tried to turn my head off and just dive in, by starting on a blank canvas despite feeling really conflicted and not quite right. As I started putting paint on the canvas, I noticed that it literally felt as though the canvas was rejecting me. The paint was not flowing and I felt at war with the brush, the paint and the canvas. It was a first for me and super strange to even write about it now. It doesn't seem possible that a canvas could reject you, but that's the only way I can explain how I felt.
I ran away from the painting after less than an hour in and I went back to the drawing board. I was totally grasping for an idea without knowing what I wanted exactly. I told Faustina I was struggling and she offered to Skype with me in case it helped to chat while seeing her face. It totally helped, and I asked her more questions and shared my doubts and fears about the work with her. She kept me calm and redirected my fear and we talked about loads of inspiring creative people and their greatest lessons and most profound experiences that occurred when making their art. It was just what I needed to hear and our chat gave me a window of openness to return to the painting I had started.
I tried to push on, but I just knew the painting wasn't right. So I called up my framer and ordered a whole new canvas in a totally different size and layout. I felt certain this would be right, despite not fitting a traditional portrait layout. I sketched out a new idea and pulled together some photographs from our sitting. I ran them past my husband Matt that night and he helped me see what I was fighting from the start. He went for the idea that spoke the most to him, despite knowing it was not in any way what a traditional portrait might be defined as. This was what I had initially been drawn to myself, but I let my rational brain talk me out of it and I doubted my gut instinct.
With new eyes and a promise to myself to just trust the process, I launched myself at the fresh canvas. It was still challenging me and that nasty doubtful voice in my head wouldn't shut up, but at least this canvas wasn't rejecting me the way the first one seemed to.
The best way I can explain the two months of painting this work is to liken it to a tug of war! The harder I tried to 'fix' it and take control, the more it was resisting to be changed. I ended up painting Faustina's entire face five, six or seven times over. I lost count! I spent days forcing myself to stay with it and push through and not run away, but I just felt as though I was painting around in circles, completely unable to get her face right. It didn't look like her. The expression on her face was so sad and scared and everytime I saw the sadness, I too felt more scared.
See for yourself in these progress shots below. I didn't want anyone to see these, because I knew how wrong they were. I kept them though, because I hoped I'd finally get it right and when I did I thought it would be easier to look at these photos and remember the challenge I faced with getting that emotion right. Goes to show you really can't hide how you're feeling, when you present at the canvas with a brush in your hand!
I took a few days off to escape it, I had a few remedial massages and three acupuncture sessions because all of the pressure I was putting on myself in those months was leading to physical pain, fatigue and a few other bizarre auto-immune reactions I'm not unfamiliar with. I needed to distract myself before my body suffered even more. That time away certainly helped, but I still felt anxious when I thought about how much I had left to do and how little time I had to finish it in.
A few days later, with just under a month to go - I completely hit panic stations and it came seemingly out of nowhere. I called my Mum crying and panicked and asked is she could spend a day with my daughter so that I could have a bonus day to paint. She said yes after trying to talk sense to me - and Matt, who was fairly concerned at this stage, also told me to calm down, relax and just go and paint for the rest of the afternoon. I sat in my studio as calmly as I could and thought about past occasions and techniques that had helped me see my work with clarity. I thought about all the things I've told my students to try when they have faced doubt with their work. I then held my iphone in front of the image with the camera setting on, using my left arm and looked only at the work on the screen, while I painted it with the reference image to my right. Because I'm right handed I had both arms up for four hours straight, taking a few breaks to stretch and then, miraculously I was able to clear my head and for THE FIRST TIME I could actually see Faustina's face forming on my canvas.
Before iphones and the instant nature of digital cameras, artists would hold their work up to a mirror to see it clearly and spot whatever wasn't sitting right. Something to do with the brain and seeing things in mirror image, makes it more obvious than it is when we look directly at it. Either way, I'm so bloody glad that I got thought to try it and was pressuring myself enough to persist. Mind you, all of the massages I'd had to work through my severe neck and shoulder stiffness, leading up to that afternoon - had gone to waste! But every other part of me felt more relaxed and relieved that I might actually get it right. I sat back, smiled at the canvas and said 'There you are Faustina. It's so good to see you"... and I totally invite you to laugh at me as you read this! Because I know how ridiculous I am.
The light at the end of - what felt like a never-ending tunnel!
I don't wish to share any of this out of a desire to be given pity and I'm a rational enough person to realise that I totally let my fear take control when there was no reason for me to. But for whatever reason, I struggled more with this portrait than any other artwork I can ever remember having an encounter with. I'd say that I would have abandoned or painted over many other artworks that made me feel this kind of doubt and I've since forgotten about those. The timeframe to have this work completed by was not going to allow me to start again and I felt far too committed to publicly give up on it. So I guess my stubborn pride and persistence dragged me across the finishing line and to now be officially in a place where I'm happy with the work and proud of what I achieved – I really just wanted to document the experience in words so that I can remember the process and reflect on it. Mind you I'm sure I won't forget the last two painting months that easily, but it's easier to keep things light and trust the process rather than fighting it or doubting it.
I've learnt a great deal about myself from painting this one portrait, lessons and hurdles that I thought I had already conquered. It just goes to show how easily we can let our minds complicate something that is at is essence, obvious. A friend pointed out to me during a very timely conversation; that when we try to 'let something go', we are still investing energy into the act and 'trying' to achieve something that can be quite difficult and confronting. Whereas when you just 'let it be' you don't have to 'try' or give energy to it. You just acknowledge it for what it is and leave it at that. Let it do its thing, and carry on doing yours.
Faustina also reminded me of this, with different words, different stories and perfect examples. I could not have been surrounded by more kindness, acceptance and support during these months – from Faustina, my family and the friends who happened to check in throughout the process. I was 100% safe, loved and supported while creating this work. The torture I experienced came from within, but in the end it didn't defeat me and I'm really proud of myself for that. If not annoyed for letting it come so close.
When I showed the finished work to Faustina I was relieved and elated, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was worried she wouldn't like it - or worse if she just couldn't see herself in it. Her reply on seeing the work made me cry. She adores it and she went onto explain why. She congratulated me on getting through it and thanked me for sharing the ups and downs along the way. I cried tears of relief. This work is so special for that reason, it may not speak to anyone else in the way it now speaks to me and to Faustina and to the times that have occurred during its creation – I never worried about other people not liking it, I just worried that I couldn't get it right or even worse that I wouldn't be able to finish it. I wanted it to resonate with Faustina, I wanted to honour all of the things she had shared with me about her life and to do that I had to surrender any hint of a preconceived idea I may have had about her.
When I look at the work now I see the joy, but mostly I see surprise. I see strength and courage, but careful consideration and a touch of caution. This is Faustina's vulnerability and how I experienced her. This is also my vulnerability and a new phase of growth has certainly resulted.

The following post is a re-post from a blog that I once ran. It's intended for students rather than scholars. I recently received an email from someone who has no philosophical training and is in a non-academic profession but is trying to make some headway in Aquinas. He stumbled across this old post and said that he found it very helpful. So I thought it might be worth re-posting here. I've made a few small changes to the original.
But we easily forget that more often than not undergraduates don't inhabit the same lifeworld. These things are not obvious to them. That's why they're taking the class.
Among the obvious things for many philosophy (and theology) professors is how you read an article in Aquinas's Summa. We don't find it at all confusing, or, more precisely, we have forgotten what it is like to be a student, when so many things seem so bewildering. We have forgotten that there was a time when Aquinas wasn't so obvious to us, or at least when his literary styles were not.
With these thoughts in mind, I thought that for the benefit of anyone who is uncertain about how to read an article in the Summa I would post the text of a handout on this topic that I have given to some of my classes (see below). Aquinas uses more or less the same format in other texts such as the De veritate, the De potentia, and his commentary on Peter Lombard's Sentences. There are other of his texts where the format is quite different, the Compendium theologiae for example.
In the handout I also include a fictional "article" that has to do with Armando Galarraga, the former Detroit Tigers pitcher who lost his bid for a perfect game in the Summer of 2010 when umpire Jim Joyce blew a call. I just wanted to have something very short on the handout as an example and decided to make-up my own article. Since I prepared the handout right after the Galarraga incident, it seemed like a good topic. It's dumb but it serves the purpose.
Article 1: Did Armando Galarraga get a raw deal?
Objection 1: It would seem that Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga did not get a raw deal when first base umpire Jim Joyce called Jason Donald safe at first and spoiled Galarraga's bid for a perfect game, for MLB commissioner Bud Selig has argued that human error is a part of baseball.
On the contrary, Tigers manager Jim Leyland says: "The players are human, the umpires are human, the managers are human," which we can take to mean that everyone always gets a raw deal by virtue of being human. Hence, Galarraga got a raw deal because he is a player and all players are human as has been said.
I answer that, "raw deal" can be predicated both of the cause and of the effect. It can be predicated of the cause insofar as the cause is what is said to bring the raw deal about and it can be predicated of the effect insofar as the effect is the recipient of the raw deal. We conclude, then, that as recipient of the raw deal, it is certain that Galarraga got a raw deal.
Reply to Objection 1: While human error may be a part of baseball, this does not prove that Galarraga did not get a raw deal but only that raw deals are a part of baseball.
Reply to Objection 2: There is nothing to prevent he who is misjudged and he who misjudges from both getting raw deals as a result of the misjudgment. Moreover, De stultitia is spuriously attributed to Augustine.
The articles begin with a question about a particular issue. In the above example the question has to do with whether Galarraga was the victim of an injustice.
Before giving his own answer to the question Aquinas presents the answers that others have given or answers that might be given to the question.
Here Aquinas presents another answer that someone has given or that might be given to the question that is in opposition to the answers given in the Objections.
Here Aquinas responds directly to each of the answers given in the Objections. Often Aquinas does not directly respond to the answer given in the "On the contrary." In other works, such as the De veritate, Aquinas will include not just one "On the Contrary" but a whole set of Objections to the Contrary after the first set of Objections. In most cases he responds to all of these Objections to the Contrary too.
The above explanation is evidently very basic. If you are interested in a more sophisticated explanation, have a look at Otto Bird, "How to Read an Article of the Summa," The New Scholasticism 27 (1953): 129-159.
By the way, you may have noticed in my made-up article I mention Augustine's De stultitia in Objection 2. This also is made-up. As far as I know, Augustine never wrote anything by that title. Also, as far as I know, Augustine never said: "It is not he who is misjudged who is despised by the fans but he who misjudges." I add this disclaimer only so as not to upset any Augustine scholars.


How do I cut onions with the Philips HomeCooker?
You can achieve the best results by using the julienne disc for cutting onions with your Philips HomeCooker. Just watch our short video or follow the instructions below.
Cut the onion into halves and then cut each half vertically.
Start the cutting tower with speed 1 and put the onions into the feeding tube. Use the pusher to direct the onions into the feeding tube, but do not press firmly.
