Istanbul Queer Art Collective was founded in 2012 to facilitate the production of performance art by queer artists. The group consists of four performance artists: Onur Gökhan Gökçek, Seda Ergül, Tuna Erdem, Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu and Burak Serin, a video artist who records and edits all the performances, turning them into video art. Istanbul Queer Art Collective firmly believes that both gender and sexuality are performative and in constant flux and they try to express that belief through a type of performance art that provokes participation. Currently Istanbul Queer Art Collective is engaged in the ongoing project of remaking Fluxus performances, through a process of first "queerifying" and then adapting them to Turkey. As part of this project they have performed numerous Fluxus 'scores', transforming them into endurance performances, site-specific performances and performances in public places. In Sound Acts, they presented the piece "SOUTH no.3" by Takehisa Kosugi, a piece performed for the first time in Europe in years.

Failure Of Fitness Wearables
© Fitbit
Why 2014 Wasn't The Year For Fitness Wearables -- But 2015 Could Be
Jeff Angus
When Nike announced earlier this year that it was discontinuing production of the FuelBand, many wondered if the decision was indicative of an industry-wide problem. Had the failure been caused by the fitness wearables market reached saturation? Were consumers moving on to something else? Nike's FuelBand was first introduced in early 2012, and similar products from Jawbone, Adidas, and Fitbit soon followed. Now there are over a hundred different fitness wearables on the market, and many of them proclaim to be best. However, the majority of them are nothing more than glorified pedometers. Why do so many of them fall so short? Is the technology not there yet? Or is it a design or functionality problem?
Nike is a company focused on bringing inspiration and innovation to all consumers. It saw the FuelBand as a means to these ends. The intention with the FuelBand was not to create the best or most accurate fitness wearable on the market. It was to create motivation. From this perspective, the FuelBand was wildly successful. But from an outsider's perspective, Nike's divestiture in wearables seemed to be a reactionary move to a product that wasn't truly meeting needs. Nike VP of Digital Sport, Stefan Olander, spoke about the results of the FuelBand experiment in a recent interview with Style.com:
Just about every day it seems someone else has launched a new wearable or an active wear line. Are we reaching a point of oversaturation in the market right now? It's inevitable, isn't it? There is this influx of people who create things because it's what they think people want and they don't derive from true insight. It's not that they understand what people need. FuelBand started as our way to motivate people and that just seemed like the best way to do it. We never even called it a wearable. Eventually the market will clean up again and what remains will be the stuff that really solves problems.
As we look to the future, how do wearables need to evolve to ensure that people will actually derive long term value from them? As Endeavor Partners discovered during its research last year, the longer that somebody owns a wearable, the less likely they are to wear it.
Frictionless-ness
The technology for a true frictionless wearable experience is not there — yet. As with almost anything in life, barriers reduce the odds of achievement. Fitness goals are no different. The more attainable something appears to be the more likely you are to work towards it. Wearables that require constant updating and manual reporting (such as sleep or nutrition information) don't work. Wearables that require programming before, during, and after each run or workout don't work. To be truly frictionless, wearables need to be smart and intuitive. Wearables need to be able to detect the movements, patterns, habits, and behaviors of the people wearing them. They need to be cross functional between activities, from strength training to football practice to yoga to walking up the stairs.
Habit creation
Most current wearables completely overlook the science of motivation. Why is this important? Positive habits are the key to long-term fitness achievements. Many small victories lead to larger ones. One day at a time. This is one reason why athletes use clichés. Short term, realistic goals lead to long term success. Unfortunately, it takes time and effort to both create and sustain the momentum that leads into habits. This is an area where wearables have the potential to be phenomenal reinforcement tools. Imagine having accountability on your wrist at all times? NPR published a fascinating report on habit creation back in 2012.:
Neuroscientists have traced our habit-making behaviors to a part of the brain called the basal ganglia, which also plays a key role in the development of emotions, memories and pattern recognition. Decisions, meanwhile, are made in a different part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex. But as soon as a behavior becomes automatic, the decision-making part of your brain goes into a sleep mode of sorts.
Cultivating and reinforcing habits should be the focus of any wearable production team. Without it, fitness wearables are just really expensive bracelets. One thing that some current wearables are doing a great job of, however, is creating social motivation. It's a lot easier to stick to something when you are accountable to more people than just yourself. Having a network of support is very important, and thanks to technology that network doesn't need to only be in-person any more.

How Do Solar Panels Produce Electricity
How to Pay for your Solar Panels and Start Saving Money for Good
Wondering How Long your Solar Panels Will Last? Here's What You Can Expect.
The sun is the most important source of energy for our planet. It is responsible for life on earth. Without the sun's heat, the world as we know it wouldn't exist.
Unlike coal, natural gas, and oil, the sun is one of the cleanest forms of energy. So how can a star that is over 4.6 billion years old provide us with the strength to power all of the electronic devices? If you're curious to know, we answer how solar panels produce electricity.
Solar panels are made up of many components, but the critical ingredient is silicon. Silicon is the element that makes it possible to capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. Silicon releases electrons which create electrical currents.
To influence this process, also known as the photovoltaic effect, specialized wiring, along with metal materials, make it possible for enough electrons to be released. It's the release of these particles that create electricity. In addition to silicon cells, solar panels contain a metal frame, glass casing, wiring, and plexiglass.
Putting the Parts Together: How Solar Panels Work
So now that we know what goes inside a solar panel, how do they give us the electrical currents to power our homes?
The photovoltaic cells, or PV cells as they are commonly known, take light from the sun and turn it into electricity. The PV cells create DC (direct current) electricity. DC electricity, however, is not enough to power your home. Additional materials are needed to make the process possible.
Inverters Create Usable Electricity
Inverters convert solar power into usable electricity, but not all solar panel systems are alike. Some have only one inverter, whereas more complex systems have several of them. Nevertheless, it's the inverter itself that converts DC electricity into AC (alternating current) power.
When you turn on your television, microwave, or other home appliance, you are using AC power, which is the usable form of electricity.
What About at Night or on Cloudy Days?
First of all, it's not light off as soon as the sun goes down.
Your appliances will first use solar energy before tapping into non-solar electricity. Any extra solar energy is transmitted back to the grid. Therefore, at night or on cloudy days, you always have access to power from the grid.
What Happens if you Use up all of your Solar energy?
Even if you don't have any extra solar energy leftover, your home is still connected to your utility company's grid, just as it was before you installed solar panels. In one way or another, your home always remains with electrical access.
What Happens If You Have Leftover Solar Energy?
Any solar energy you don't use goes back to the electrical grid. Utility companies measure your excess solar energy through net metering. When you install solar panels on your home, your excess energy is measured and applied to you in the form of credits. These credits will offset your total energy expenditure.
Solar technology is making it possible to give us an energy source that's abundant and clean. By relying on renewable sources for our energy production, we can substantially minimize our carbon footprint and maximize the amount of money we save. Solar panel installation for your home can provide you with these benefits.
This video on solar panels demonstrates the process of how solar energy is converted into electricity.

Panama Papers: Fairness, Confidence, and Business Ethics
The "Panama Papers," also known as the "Mossack Fonseca Revelations," offer the global economy much needed transparency into one of the world's 80 plus tax havens. Hiding between 20 and 30 trillion dollars, tax havens like Panama hide sums worth up to nearly half of the annual Gross Global Production. Although those named in the 11.5 million document leak are not necessarily guilty of criminal behavior, their wealth adds to a significant amount of "black money," which assuredly helps distort the capitalist mechanisms and functionality of the world's economies. Just as important, such secretive practices reinforce a sense of economic injustice and lack of confidence in the economy.
Initial reactions to the Panama Papers have less to do with criminal wrongdoing and more to do with ethical wrongdoing. Coupled with persistent economic inequality, a lack of honesty when it comes to the practices of the wealthy fosters suspicions that economic policies are engineered to favor the already wealthy. California's 15 dollars an hour minimum wage, for example, represents frustrations with the failure of capitalism to provide for the needs of poorer Americans, yet perverse disincentives of higher wages, which could result in higher federal taxes for minimum wage earners and fewer hours, highlight the futile struggle of average workers in a world where the rich keep getting richer.
These latest revelations compound growing outrage over economic policies that favor unethical and unfair practices like so-called "corporate inversions." The US Treasury has announced two rules designed to eliminate the profitability of this tax dogging practice, which supports perceptions that economy has been rigged. No longer can U.S. subsidiaries of inverted companies take a loan from their foreign parent companies and use interest payments as tax deductions to reduce their US tax liability. US companies must also own less than 60% of the combined company's stock, excluding any acquisitions of US companies within three years to derive any tax benefits.
Under the capitalist mindset, the use of shell corporations and business inversions is simply good economic sense for the wealthy, but economics is not the only dimension of such decisions. Proof of over 215, 000 companies and over 14,000 individual Mossack Fonseca clients ,including 140 political figures, detailing their use of secret offshore accounts hits a nerve among the many who see globalization as an excuse for the wealthy to profit at the expense of domestic industries and average workers. The practices used by the affluent to hide their wealth may or may not be "illegal," but that does not make them right. This is where business ethics comes into play.
Although the need for ethics may appear to be a moral issue wrapped in subjective reasoning, ethics are actually a major concern for any businesses viewed as an enduring entity designed to last. Ethics provide direction to businesses of all sizes by defining limits and standards on how they treat other businesses, employees, and consumers. Ethics are long-term considerations that impact the short and long-term success of a company, its industry, and the community it operates within. Consequently, ethics represent an attempt to address factors, which cannot be fully measured or understood, to ensure success now and in the future.
One of the main reasons to implement business ethics is to protect businesses from the actions of their employees. When employees interact with clients, other employees, or new employers, a business must guard against any perceivable damage an employee could cause. By scripting responses to consumers and the Public, limiting workplace relationships, or instituting nondisclosure agreements, employers are attempting to control long-term costs as well as sculpt the business culture within the firm and beyond. Ethics policies may require employees to follow certain procedures, such as the previously mentioned examples, but ethical considerations go beyond employee behavior and perceived costs.
A firm lacking ethics can only build an "ethics" policy through a superficial attempt to ensure legal penalties exist for employees who violate company policy, but ethics go beyond punitive action. A company, which treats its employees poorly, rips off consumers, ignores regulation, dodges taxes, and/or undercuts other firms with unhealthy competition, is going to teach employees to behave unethically. This means business ethics extend beyond employee relations to include how a firm treats its competitors across its entire industry as well as the quality and cost of products and services the firm provides its consumers; this includes hidden or displaced costs.
Furthermore, it is the executive managers who set the tone and direction of a company's operations. As business leaders, they are also the ones to shape the ethical culture of their firms while business leaders across an entire industry maintain standards for ethical conduct. It is important to recognize that businesses do not simply act on company interests; they act on the interests of their management teams. This makes it essential for observers of industry to recognize a firm will not solely act on its perceived interests, but rather, its interests and the interests of its leaders as perceived by the business leaders.
As a consequence, leaders of business define what ethics and other values mean for their industries, companies, and subordinates. Under the guise of unfettered competition, business leaders can easily define ethics in terms that ensure they benefit the most. This creates a serious ethics deficient when leaders fail to consider all the ethical implications of their decisions and behavior. Regarding professional ethics as an attempt to address all unrealized and long-term costs to a firm and industry resulting from the inappropriate behavior of all employees is, therefore, necessary.
Unfortunately, business leaders will often view ethics between professionals at their level as a pledge not to undermine the profitability of the company, yet fail to recognize how unhealthy internal competition hurts long-term viability. For subordinates, business leaders may look at how the behavior of these employees can harm a company then address these issues with punitive "ethics" policies versus instilling an ethics culture for these professionals to learn. In reality, both groups need to have their behavior mitigated by a strong sense of professional ethics.
As such, every employee is responsible for instilling a strong culture of ethics in their workplace. While the business leadership must guarantee the proper atmosphere exists and lead by example, especially in the face of temptation, the only way of ensuring values are properly ingrained in a firm's culture is by creating an environment that addresses ethical violations when they arise. This starts by understanding why ethics are necessary, identifying ethical considerations, building an ethical culture, and correcting ethical violations when they occur, whether at the lowest tier of employment or the highest level of management.
As a society, the damaging effects of unethical corporate actions last for generations and undermine healthy competition for all businesses in a given industry. Nation-states require strong industries to provide for the interests of their citizens and other vital national interests beyond commerce. The problem is that unethical practices do not simply destroy the firms engaging in them; these firms eliminate unethical competitors and undermine ethical practices across entire industries. Moreover, ethics are needed to protect everyone from the harmful practices of wealthy businesses and individuals

54,000 SF Addition; 118,000 SF Renovation
University of Wyoming Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts
The University of Wyoming expanded its 41-year-old fine arts building into a two-story performing arts center to enhance the educational experience of the students.
Sampson Construction began providing pre-construction services in the summer of 2012 as the project was originally designed without knowing the amount of available funding. When the project came in over budget, our team was involved with an exhaustive value engineering process to reduce scope by approximately 25% while still achieving an accredited facility. We were able to accomplish this by bringing a premier performing arts consultant on board to ensure all critical components of the program were accounted for correctly.
The new space includes a 256 Thrust Theatre and a 100 seat recital hall that was added to the east side of the existing building, linked by an east lobby featuring a new box office. The two-story Music Department has band/orchestra and choral rehearsal halls, as well as a second dance studio. Existing space was renovated to create light, sound and design labs; teaching and rehearsal space for musical theater; dressing and makeup rooms; and upgraded classrooms. A new 3,500 SF office suite was constructed to the northwest of the existing theatre/dance office suites. Additionally, the project yielded vital sound isolation and acoustic work for instrumental music, individual practice rooms and classrooms

"In fact, Mary Kay has experienced four consecutive years of record results – both product sales and the number of women joining our independent sales force," he said. "Mary Kay ended 2002 with a 17.5 percent increase in U.S. sales and 14.5 percent growth in its independent sales force." Mary Kay (www.marykay.com [http://www.marykay.com/]) has about 950,000 independent sales representatives worldwide, with roughly 650,000 in the United States. The outlook is equally bright at New York-based Avon Products Inc. Marla Thompson, regional spokeswoman for Avon (www.avon.com [http://www.avon.com/]), said the company added about 50,000 sales reps to its workforce in 2002, bringing its worldwide sales force to 3.5 million and its U.S. force to 600,000. She said that business stays steady even in a slow economy because Avon's cosmetics products are affordable. "In a slumping economy, it's been proven that we, as women, still want to go out and look good," she said. "It's easier to go out and buy a tube of lipstick for $4 than to go to the high-end department stores and buy the same tube of lipstick for $21." Fort Worth resident and Avon executive unit leader Nikki Wynne said she got into the business 2 1/2 years ago to earn part-time money after her son was born. "It started off part time, just selling to my friends and family, and it has turned into a full-time business," she said. That's a common path for many of the women – and men – who go into direct cosmetics sales, she said. Less than 2 percent of Avon sales reps are men. "They start off part time usually, and a lot of people will say, `I just want to make a little bit of money,' and then once they're into it, they decide, `Maybe I could do this full time,'" Ms. Wynne said. However, most direct sellers are content with earning cash part time, said Amy Robinson, director of communications for the Direct Selling Association (www.dsa.org [http://www.dsa.org/]) in Washington, D.C. She said that only about 10 percent of direct sellers work full time, and most earn less than $2,500 a year, putting in just a few hours per week. In 2001, the entire direct sales industry had about 12.2 million salespeople and sales of about $26.7 billion. "Granted, direct selling is a pretty small part of the gross domestic product, but when you're looking at percentages, direct selling has outpaced retail sales," Ms. Robinson said. #p#分页标题#e#While last Christmas was rough for many retailers, direct cosmetics sales didn't miss a beat. "We have just really had a booming business going on here recently," Ms. Wynne said. "Right after Christmas, it slowed down for a couple weeks, as people recovered after the holidays. Since then, I have been nonstop helping others get started with this." Breaking into the field requires no formal training or experience, Mr. Whatley said. 指导essay "The Mary Kay independent sales force is comprised of people from all walks of life who are attracted to a business opportunity that not only has unlimited potential for personal and financial success, it enables a person to determine when and where they work," he said. "Having the flexibility of planning their careers around their lives instead of having their careers dictate their lives is a major attraction to many members of the Mary Kay independent sales force."

You have to treat yourself sometimes!
I had fun making lunch last night. I think it might be smelling up my office though. So I am going to close the lid and eat it outside where people won't be bothered by it.
The star is a tofu hamburger patty. Its made, by taking a package of tofu and removing a large amount of the water from it and then mixing that with ground beef or pork (about 200g). I prefer pork because I think it brings a flavor element to food that beef never seems to have. I also usually add fresh ingredients like chopped onion, garlic, finely chopped carrots, chives, and ginger. I eyeball the amounts until I get the consistency that is easy to form. If you add to much the tofu/meat party will lose its shape when cooking.
After that is all incorporated, I add some seasoning. This hambagu is very simple, because I knew I was going to be putting curry on top for color. In the past I season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper.
Simple, but sometimes simple is best.
On the rice, is Shiso furikake. It makes rice kind of purple. I was looking for a night sky with a taste that might work with the curry star patty. Shiso is tart and a bit salty.
Along with the few other things I had for lunch, I really enjoyed it. I'll have to find a new shape to make lunch so I can do this again.
