Welcome back. A whole season has passed since I did my last update for my seasonal hashtag challenge.
Of course there is some argument whether we should wait until the spring equinox to welcome the much awaited spring. Since my winter wasn't a particularly easy one I hope you will forgive me in wanting to celebrate the start of meteorological spring and the first signs of greenery and blooms as we head into March.
The hashtag challenge #createinspring is all about celebrating the moments of the season, how it influences your work and imagery - whether that be sparkling sunshine or sparkling raindrops on blossom, making lighter knitwear or seasonal botanical inspired jewellery or embroidery. I can't help but be influenced by seasons and what is going on outside in my makes and I'd love to see what you have been working on too.
Before I show you a snippet of what I've been up to, I want to introduce the work of Kathy Hutton, a print maker inspired by nature and ceramics.
This is probably one of the biggest areas to think about in advance. An attractive display will always draw people in, but how do you do it?
Not only do I love Jack's geometric planters, but I love the way he has used different levels within his display so that some of the products are directly at eye-level, in a design which complements his contemporary style. You'd spot his stall a mile off while casually walking around a market.
Other ways you can put products at eye level is by stacking boxes, using simple shelves or creating a shelf to display work so that it is at different heights. In my stall image above I have an A-frame for my plant-hangers which is always a good way to draw people in.
Think about your branding. How you decorate your stall needs to reflect your brand ethos and personality. Its useful to get the name of your brand in your design so that people will remember who you are. Takeaway business cards with image product photography can be useful for this too (Moo prints different images within the same pack).
Says Frilly Industries: "Help people understand who they are in relation to your brand. This is why we make our diverse range of heads to show the wide appeal of our jewellery designs. Know your demographic by also helping people understand that they can be part of it too."
Atmosphere - think about how cosy and inviting you can make your stall, like this one from Felti. The addition of fairy lights and subtle nods to Christmas will tell an inviting story.
Plan and set up your design in advance so that you know exactly where you will place everything, find out how big your table will be and plan accordingly. Set up will be usually 1 hour (2 if you are lucky) so when space and time are tight you will feel confident that you know exactly where everything goes.
"Tell and not sell", says Kate from Grace & Flora. "When someone approaches your stall stand up, smile and say hello. Don't be shy to explain what makes your work special, how its made, the materials and your inspiration etc. People come to fairs for a different experience, not just 'shopping'. For the most part they are keen to meet the maker."
Clear pricing is important, as Eloise from The Eloise Bindery explains: "Make sure your prices are clearly visible as people are afraid to ask for a price. A visible price list can be helpful for this. Also a card reader is a must so you don't want to miss out on sales, but as a back up people can always pay using the paypal app. You'll also need a good float for people who still like to pay by cash."
Get your actual pricing right. Explains Frilly Industries: "Starting out with a slightly cheaper price is tempting in the beginning but if you want to manage customer expectations, properly cover your costs, time and position yourself correctly amongst your marketplace competitors, so that you get your prices right.
"Use the Design Trust resources for calculating the right costs, especially if you want to sell wholesale. Don't ever sell yourself short as this hurts your peers and competitors and it's not cool. Its easier to reduce your prices at a market then put them up!
"Help people to understand the value of a locally made and independently designed item."
I'm rolling these all into one as they are all interlinked. If you choose a good market then the organisers should do a good job of marketing the event and your presence at it. However don't just leave them to it. As a stall-holder you need to let your followers know which markets you are attending, and this can be through your social media, handing out flyers to your friends and community, a newsletter or even a blog-post! :) Often the market will have its own hashtag for use on social media so don't be afraid to tell people what you are making in the run-up to the market itself.
Think of having a stall like an investment. It's not just the sales on the day that count. If you have a strong design presence people who visit your stall, and sign-up to your email lists, will remember your product and come back to buy from you on another occasion.
Also a market is a chance to meet with fellow makers - don't treat them as competitors - these guys can become your friends and your most loyal advocates. After all we are all in the same boat as independents so its nice to help each other out and let our followers know if we liked a stall design or made a small purchase.
Hopefully these images will have inspired you. If not I have a small board on Pinterest. I'm there as @ceramicmagpie too, or just search for market stands.
I hope you found this interesting. If I've missed anything then let me know and I might even amend the post with your comment.
Thanks for reading. Maybe see you at my next fair?
I started the year with an intention: to play and experiment more with clay. I had previously become skilled at slip-casting and although I love this process I was drawn to the more personal and tactile process of making vessels on the wheel. Some time about March I slipped off the bandwagon and just started making things for other people - not that there is anything wrong with this, but it wasn't allowing me to grow as an artist.
Last week I went some way to returning to my original goal of experimenting more this year. Except up until then I didn't have the skills or the knowledge to be able to fulfill my goal.
I had been following Tortus for a couple of years and it had been a dream of mine to go to Copenhagen to do one of his courses. But with two young(ish) children I thought it was just wishful thinking. But, my very supportive partner agreed to take time off from home to be the stay at home afternoon parent.
So this blog post is going to be about my time in Copenhagen, it'll be mainly pottery but I'll do a few highlights about my time as a tourist here too. If you follow me normally you'll know that I normally do a round-up of what's been happening in my #createinsummer (formerly spring) hashtag. Its when I normally share how creatives are influenced by the season, this month the focus will be on just me for a change.
Well hello May! One of my favourite months for blooms, but spring is so mixed this year isn't it? From t-shirt to winter coat, this season is certainly keeping us guessing to how we should attire.
As for nature, the trees are gently saying goodbye and de-robing their blossoms now as new green leaves start to unfurl and many flowering bulbs such as tulips and bluebells certainly seem late this year. I'm just waiting patiently for the lilac in my garden to bloom which is normally on cue for my Mom's birthday mid May.
In this month's #createinspring blog I'm going to review what's been keeping me busy, unveil my latest guest judge and see who Sue, from @apetalunfolds, selected as favourites for the #createinspring hashtag photography challenge.
April seemed like a short month, by the time you take out the holidays, but I've been working on a new shape, I fulfilled some smaller and larger commission orders, and I've been learning to develop my photography skills. A particular highlight was seeing my incense holders launched at Honest Skincare (and they will be available soon online at Honest and in their Great Western Arcade store too).
t's funny how we talk about putting a spring in your step. It's so true that as spring approaches we can shrug off winter's heavy coat, swap boots for trainers and suddenly we feel so much lighter. The days are longer, the birds sing more (or at least they are waking me up earlier!), the lambs frolick in the fields. It's such a happy time of year.
I love noticing all the little details, and there seems to be a collective rejoice at the bulbs pushing through and the first signs of blossom.
In Japan, the arrival of the blossom season reaches epic proportions as it heralds the beginning of Spring, and there are regular news updates on the bud stages. The bloom lasts 1-2 weeks before the 'sakura snow' effect starts and they float down gently from the trees. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom flowers are seen as a symbol of the transient nature of life. But would it be nice to capture their beauty forever?
You've probably realised the petals pictured are paper ones. This 'forever' paper blossom from Sue @apetalunfolds really deceives the eye with its intricacy; I never thought it would be possible for something made out of paper to resemble nature so closely.
I'm really excited to be collaborating with Sue this month for a little photo challenge on Instagram in the #createinspring gallery, (which coincidentally exploded overnight; evidently people feel very happy about Spring's arrival).
To take part in our competition to win 'forever spring in a vase', 3 beautiful strands of blossom in one of my new mint green porcelain bud vases, you need to be following both Sue and myself and show us how spring is influencing your makes and styling over on Instagram, using the tag #createinspring. We really want to know what a spring palette means for your creativity. I'll show you how I'm incorporating spring into my ceramics later, but first, let me tell you some more about Sue and her fabulous skills.
I think I'm not alone in saying that it was pretty easy to say goodbye to January. And whilst February doesn't exactly equal Spring, as I sit listening to the rain drum heavily against the windows, there are moments of sunshine with a hint of a promise of kinder months to come.
Like the arrival of the first snowdrops last month. They feel very symbolic, along with the hellebores, to be the first blooms to appear. When the clouds lift we are greeted by crisp blue skies and the sun feels so welcome on our faces. The first sightings of catkins and other buds on the trees have filled me with a childish excitement about our days getting longer and in turn more fruitful and creative.
Which leads to me announce that I'm retiring #wipsandblooms and replacing it with a year-long project, with a quarterly focus - starting with spring of course! I'm hoping that this new hashtag #createinspring, will encourage us all to use our creativity, and share how the season is influencing our making.
This morning I woke up to the first frost of the year, and its been replaced now with a crisp cold day and beautiful bright sunshine. Don't you just love those kind of days?
I always love writing this blog, as it gives me a chance to pause; to reflect on what I've been making, maybe have a think about what I want to make next and to review where I'm going. It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day; the next little item on the to-do list, or the latest commission that I've been asked to make, that I can forget what the bigger picture should look like. Are you the same?
I love including lots of seasonal references to what's happening in nature amongst my making shots. So, there have been quite a few pumpkins popping up in my feed. Last week it was half term so I didn't set foot in my studio except to package up some orders. Instead, I was able to focus on some macrame and play around with a few new knot techniques, from @createaholic's new book (it's just peaking into shot) and start to work in more of the little porcelain beads that I've made especially for this project. I hadn't had a chance to make any planters for a while, so it was fun to get a few more ready for Christmas fairs and my open studio which start later this month.
There's definitely a distinct seasonal shift as we welcome in October. This morning was one of those crisp Autumn starts where the sun was low and bright, and yet felt warm on my skin, whilst I was wrapped up in winter layers.
Why is a ceramacist posting a picture of a flower wreath I hear you ask?
Well, it's simple. I kindof failed this month to get into my studio and make any of the long list of commissions, or fulfill any new ideas that are burning a hole in my sketchbook. It's tough to admit defeat- but I always knew that with two holidays planned and the long school summer break I wouldn't be making much during August, or be able to give much attention to #wipsandblooms.
Fortunately, I was able to top up on creativity when I attended the www.hillviewmoments.com/Hillview Farm Creative Festival, organised by @takingamomentintime.
creative lady! As well as Olga, it was great to meet other makers to talk about running your own business, the joys and downfalls of social media, and reflect about our priorities in how we manage these tasks as well as being a mother, or partner.
I really hope I'm not going to jinx our chance of sunshine with the title of this blog!
Before I launch into what I've been up to and my summer hashtags I wanted to share an observation. I've noticed two interesting things going on with Instagram recently. Firstly all the new people who have joined are really loving the sense of community, and finding like-minded people who share their aesthetics and interests. Then, there are the people who have been using the app for a while, who seem to have lost some of their passion, since the algorithm no longer shares posts like it used to.
We are living in a world that is constantly changing therefore you have to adapt and go with a new flow, or work harder to find your community. I loved seeing @Allison_sadler's take on this with #freeupyourinsta, which encouraged people to post more of the things that make them happy.
I'm asking something similar, but in a more niche way. I'm encouraging all the #leaf_ladies (and lads) to show off their green spaces, a corner of their homes and gardens which they are proud of, their maker space, or anywhere there is some lush greenery for the hashtag #leaf_ladies_habitat. And then, go and say hi, make friends with these people, be inspired by their use of greenery, exchange plant care tips and advice.

Q: How to add a new array to the current array element in local storage? I created an array of users in local storage:
let btnSignUp = document.getElementById("btnSignUp");
btnSignUp.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  let existingUsers = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("allUsers"));
  if (existingUsers == null) existingUsers = [];

  let userLogin = document.getElementById('authLogin').value;
  let userEmail = document.getElementById('authEmail').value;
  let userPassword = document.getElementById('authPassword').value;
  let userConfirmPassword = document.getElementById('authConfirmPassword').value;
  if (userPassword == userConfirmPassword) {
    let users = {
      "login": userLogin,
      "email": userEmail,
      "password": userPassword,
      "contacts": []
    };
    localStorage.setItem("users", JSON.stringify(users));
    // Save allEntries back to local storage
    existingUsers.push(users);
    localStorage.setItem("allUsers", JSON.stringify(existingUsers));
  } else {
    alert("Password and confirm password must be the same");
  }
}, false);

And now I need to create an array of contacts for the selected user. Contact should look something like this:
let userSurname = document.getElementById('_surname').value;
let userName = document.getElementById('_name').value;
let userCountry = document.getElementById('_country').value;
let userCity = document.getElementById('_city').value;
let userEmail = document.getElementById('_email').value;
let userPhone = document.getElementById('_phone').value;
let userWorkPlace = document.getElementById('_workPlace').value;

let contact = {
  "surname": userSurname,
  "name": userName,
  "country": userCountry,
  "city": userCity,
  "email": userEmail,
  "phone": userPhone,
  "workPlace": userWorkPlace
};
localStorage.setItem("contact", JSON.stringify(contact));

Please tell me how to do it.

A: Create an array of contact object.JSON.stringify that array of contact objects
 let contacts = [];
 let contactObj = {
  "surname": userSurname,
  "name": userName,
  "country": userCountry,
  "city": userCity,
  "email": userEmail,
  "phone": userPhone,
  "workPlace": userWorkPlace
};
contacts.push(contactObj)
localStorage.setItem("contact", JSON.stringify(contacts));

A: If your concern is on repeatedly having to de-serialize and serialize the contacts list of a particular user, you may use following two functions to persist contacts in localstorage. This might not be a perfect solution. But this addresses your concern. Try to build your own solution on this, based on your requirement.
To persist contacts
function addContact(username,contact){
    let count = localStorage.getItem(username+"-contacts-count") || 0;
    contact.index = count;
    localStorage.setItem(username+'-contact-'+(count++),JSON.stringify(contact));
    localStorage.setItem(username+"-contacts-count",count);
}

To retrieve contacts
function getContacts(username){
    let count = localStorage.getItem(username+"-contacts-count") || 0;
    let contacts = [];
    for(let i = 0;i<count;i++){
        let contact = localStorage.getItem(username+'-contact-'+(i));
        if(contact){
            contacts.push(JSON.parse(contact));
        }
    }
    return contacts;
}

Abstract: We present a novel method to generate accurate and realistic clothing deformation from real data capture. Previous methods for realistic cloth modeling mainly rely on intensive computation of physics-based simulation (with numerous heuristic parameters), while models reconstructed from visual observations typically suffer from lack of geometric details. Here, we propose an original framework consisting of two modules that work jointly to represent global shape deformation as well as surface details with high fidelity. Global shape deformations are recovered from a subspace model learned from 3D data of clothed people in motion, while high frequency details are added to normal maps created using a conditional Generative Adversarial Network whose architecture is designed to enforce realism and temporal consistency. This leads to unprecedented high-quality rendering of clothing deformation sequences, where fine wrinkles from (real) high resolution observations can be recovered. In addition, as the model is learned independently from body shape and pose, the framework is suitable for applications that require retargeting (e.g., body animation). Our experiments show original high quality results with a flexible model. We claim an entirely data-driven approach to realistic cloth wrinkle generation is possible.

Maryland, Northwestern look to stop losing streaks
Posted: Jan 11, 2022 / 05:23 PM HST / Updated: Jan 11, 2022 / 05:23 PM HST
Either Maryland or Northwestern will snap a three-game losing streak when the teams meet Wednesday night in Evanston, Ill.
Both programs are struggling in Big Ten Conference action — a combined 1-7 — and starving for a win that could set them on a better path.
"I feel like we're close to turning the corner," Terrapins interim coach Danny Manning said after Maryland (8-7, 0-4 Big Ten) saw its comeback attempt fall short in a 70-69 home loss to then-No. 23 Wisconsin on Sunday.
The Badgers led by 21 points early in the game, but Eric Ayala and the Terrapins did not pack it in. Two straight 3-pointers by Eric Ayala put Maryland ahead 36-35 with 15:27 to play. In the final seconds, he hit another trey that put a scare into the Badgers and cut their lead to one.
Ayala led five Maryland scorers in double figures with 19 points, adding five rebounds. But when it was said and done, the Terrapins remained one of two Big Ten teams without a conference win.
"You spend so much energy when you're down to get back into the ballgame," Manning said. "We got into the bonus first in the second half, and I'd like for us to continue to put pressure on them by getting to the free-throw line. They shot more free throws than us, and we'd like to shoot more free throws than our opponents, especially when we get into the bonus early or before the other team."
Northwestern (8-5, 1-3) earned its only Big Ten win thus far by beating host Maryland 67-61 on Dec. 5. However, the Wildcats opened 2022 with single-digit conference losses to Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State. Two of those foes were ranked.
In a 95-87 loss to the then-13th-ranked Buckeyes on Sunday, Northwestern shot the ball well — 47.1 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from deep. Ty Berry led the way with 23 points, and Pete Nance and Chase Audige each scored 20. However, Ohio State star E.J. Liddell netted 17 points in the first five minutes and wound up with 34.
"The first five minutes of the game really told a story," Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. "I was very displeased with our defense early in the game."
Nance leads Northwestern at 16.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Ayala is tops for Maryland with 15.5 points per game, while Donta Scott is hauling in 7.0 rebounds per game to go with an 11.6 scoring average.

WASHINGTON (The Hill) - The White House announced Wednesday that it is making 400 million N95 masks available for free, part of a string of actions aimed at fighting the surging omicron variant.
The masks will be available for pickup at "tens of thousands of local pharmacies" as well as thousands of community health centers, the White House said. The masks will begin shipping later this week and will start to become available late next week, before being "fully up and running" in early February.

Dandruff is a common hair problem that affects millions of people worldwide. It's also known as Pityriasis simplex capillitia. But there's not just not one cause of dandruff, so treating it can be difficult. That's not to say it's impossible. Here, we share some effective ways to treat and prevent dandruff.
Dandruff is caused due to different factors like dryness of skin, irregular hair brushing and shampooing, exposure to heat, and overgrowth of yeast. Regardless of the cause, there are some general preventive measures that you can take.
We all know that stress is bad for our health. Too much of stress weakens the immune system, which can lead to skin conditions, and dandruff is one of them. You can consider meditation or join stress management classes. Not just limited to helping with dandruff, controlling stress is good for your overall health as well.
One of the most common reasons of dandruff is using hair products that doesn't suit your hair or skin type. Don't use hair gels, hair sprays, and styling gels if you can help it. They do more harm than good to your scalp. Also, don't forget to shampoo your hair at the end of the day, if you're using these products. Make sure to use a shampoo that suits your hair. Opt for mild and gentle hair products only.
Dandruff isn't because of hygiene issues. However, by maintaining your hair and keeping your scalp clean, you can prevent dandruff. Regular shampooing prevents grease build-up on your scalp. That helps prevent dandruff to a huge extent.
If you're already suffering from dandruff, you'll need to get rid of it first. Kaya Skin Clinic's Exfoliate And Revitalize Therapy is one of the most effective ways of doing so.
It's been developed with advanced scalp clearing actives that help reduce dandruff-causing microbes from your scalp and controlling excess oil. It has anti-fungal actives that cleanse your scalp and reduces itching. The next step is nourishing your scalp and hair. The final step is to prevent the reoccurrence of dandruff. That's what this product offers. Use the Kaya Skin Clinic locator to find the clinic nearest to you. Read Kaya Skin Clinic reviews before choosing to go for a treatment.
Whether your hair needs treatment or not depends on how healthy it is. Knowing the signs of damaged hair can help you to choose the best treatment.
Hair health is something that shouldn't be ignored. There are many signs to tell you whether your hair is healthy or if it needs some TLC? By taking care of damage, you can have hair that's the object of everyone's envy.
One of the most obvious signs of unhealthy hair is split ends. Wrap a few strands of your hair around a pen or a finger. If you come across strands sticking out, that means you have split ends. Unfortunately, the only solution to split ends is a hair cut.
Healthy hair cuticles are able to reflect more light than unhealthy ones, and that's the reason why your hair shines, and that's how it's meant to be. If you have dull and lusterless hair, it's time you spend some time keeping your hair healthy. Include omega 3 acids in your diet. That helps your hair shine.
Too many tangles can be a pain when you're combing your hair. That also is a sign of bad hair health, since when your hair is healthy, the strands will lay flat and slide with each other.
P.S., use a hair brush with nylon bristles as opposed to plastic combs. This prevents hair breakage.
If your hair is strong and elastic, then you don't have to worry. Hold a strand of hair between your fingers and pull it. If it doesn't stretch and breaks easily, that means your hair needs treatment.
Try out Kaya Hair Health Boost System to treat dull and damaged hair. This course of this therapy depends on your hair type and condition. It works by reducing breakage, energizing your hair roots, nourishing your scalp, and restoring your hair back to health. What you get in the end is stronger, shinier, and thicker hair. Going by Kaya Skin Clinic reviews from their customers, this is one of the most effective treatments available to bring your hair back to health and keep it that way.
Well-nourished hair is a sign of health and beauty. Hair fall isn't uncommon, but there are many ways you can take care of it.
Here are some foods you can add into your diet so that you can have healthy and beautiful hair.
Carrots have several nutrients that help maintain the body to keep it healthy and active. Eating carrots can help in weight loss, improved vision, and of course, prevent hair fall. Eat a carrot a day, and you can see visible results in just a few days.

The look of surprise and shame was unmistakeable on Kitty's face as his head popped up next to his foot. My parents and I had been sitting in the backyard when my mom pointed out that Kitty's foot was waving alone over a window sill. His head popped up next to his foot and the look on his face caused us all to laugh, having instantly understood how he felt.
I've heard before that animals don't actually possess the necessary muscles to make complex facial expressions. I don't completely believe this, but perhaps it's that cats have just enough of the required facial expressions to show shame, surprise, and disgust simultaneously.
That's right, Kitty is a boy cat.

Q: Get the text of an element using querySelectorAll I am having some trouble getting the text of elements using querySelectorAll. I already tried using querySelector but it only gives me the value of the first element. What I want to achieve is to get the text of the clicked element. Here's my code:
function __(selector){

   var self = {};
   self.selector = selector;

   if(typeof selector == 'undefined'){
      self.element = [self.selector];
   }else{
      self.element = document.querySelectorAll(self.selector);
   }

   // creating a method (.on)

    self.on = function(type, callback){
        self.element.forEach(function(elements){
           elements['on' + type] = callback;
        });
    }

     self.text = function(elems){
          [].slice.call(self.element).forEach(function(el,i){
                return el.innerHTML;
           });
     }

     return self;
}

And the HTML File:

Hello

World

The code above gives me an undefined value.

A: Your code actually throws an error: SyntaxError: '[object HTMLElement]' is not a valid selector. This is because at __(this) you're passing the selected element itself to the function, not a selector. You could account for this by including this as a third case:
if(typeof selector == "undefined"){
  self.element = [self.selector];
}
else if(typeof selector == "string"){
  self.element = document.querySelectorAll(self.selector);
}
else if(selector instanceof HTMLElement){
  self.element = [selector];
}

Now, the actual problem you've described occurs because you don't return anything in the self.text function. The return is for the forEach function argument, which is ignored. Return the texts in the self.text function itself and use map instead of forEach. Something like this:
self.text = function(elems){
  return [].slice.call(self.element).map(function(el,i){
    return el.innerHTML;
  });
}

This will return an array with the inner HTML texts for each element.
Code in action

function __(selector) {

  var self = {};
  self.selector = selector;

  if (typeof selector == "undefined") {
    self.element = [self.selector];
  } else if (typeof selector == "string") {
    self.element = document.querySelectorAll(self.selector);
  } else if (selector instanceof HTMLElement) {
    self.element = [selector];
  }

  // creating a method (.on)

  self.on = function(type, callback) {
    self.element.forEach(function(elements) {
      elements['on' + type] = callback;
    });
  }

  self.text = function(elems) {
    return [].slice.call(self.element).map(function(el, i) {
      return el.innerHTML;
    });
  }

  return self;
}

console.log(__("p").text()); // Logs texts of all
s

__("p").on("click", function() {
  console.log(__(this).text()); // Logs text of clicked

});

Hello

World

This study of Indonesia's transition from authoritarian rule sheds light on the fragility not just of democratic transitions but of democracy itself and finds that democratization's durability depends, to a surprising extent, on the role of the media, particularly its airing of political scandal and intraelite conflict. More broadly, Scandal and Democracy examines how the media's use of new freedoms can help ward off a slide into pseudodemocracy or a return to authoritarian rule. As Indonesia marks the twentieth anniversary of its democratic revolution of 1998, it remains among the world's most resilient new democracies and one of the few successful democratic transitions in the Muslim world. McCoy explains the media's central role in this change and corroborates that finding with comparative cases from Mexico, Tunisia, and South Korea, offering counterintuitive insights that help make sense of the success and failure of recent transitions to democracy.
"Scandal and Democracy is an excellent book which explores in depth the media in the crucial period of Indonesia's transition from authoritarian rule to democracy and beyond."
"Mary McCoy offers a fascinating and experienced analysis of Indonesian politics through the lens of the media. She puts elite collusion at the heart of Indonesia's democratic woes and highlights the positive role that scandals can play in breaking down corrupt political arrangements."

General Motors has announced that, beginning in 2016, it will compete in Europe's volume markets under its Opel and Vauxhall brands. The company's Chevrolet brand will no longer have a mainstream presence in Western and Eastern Europe, largely due to a challenging business model and the difficult economic situation in Europe, according to the automaker.
Chevrolet will instead tailor its presence to offering select iconic vehicles – such as the Corvette – in Western and Eastern Europe, and will continue to have a broad presence in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
This will improve the Opel and Vauxhall brands and reduce the market complexity associated with having Opel and Chevrolet in Western and Eastern Europe, according to the automaker. In Russia and the CIS, the GM European brands are clearly defined and distinguished and, as a result, are more competitive within their respective segments.
Conversely, Cadillac, which is finalizing plans for expanding in the European market, will enhance and expand its distribution network over the next three years as it prepares for numerous product introductions.
"Europe is a key region for GM that will benefit from a stronger Opel and Vauxhall and further emphasis on Cadillac," said GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson. "For Chevrolet, it will allow us to focus our investments where the opportunity for growth is greatest. This is a win for all four brands. It's especially positive for car buyers throughout Europe, who will be able to purchase vehicles from well-defined, vibrant GM brands."
Chevrolet said it will work closely with its dealer network in Western and Eastern Europe to define future steps while ensuring it can honor obligations to existing customers in the coming years.
"Our customers can rest assured that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet vehicles, and for vehicles purchased between now and the end of 2015," said Thomas Sedran, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe. "We want to thank our customers and dealers for their loyalty to the Chevrolet brand here in Europe."


Trumpeter-composer Malachi Thompson, shown in 1994, died in 2006. There will be "A Tribute to Malachi Thompson" in Fred Anderson Park at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
In 1989, doctors told Chicago trumpeter-composer Malachi Thompson that he had about a year to live.
Thompson, who had moved to New York in 1974, by the mid-'80s had developed a variety of nagging but misdiagnosed symptoms.
When he moved back to Chicago and learned he had T-cell lymphoma, "I was about to commit suicide," he told me in 1993.
Instead, he turned his illness into a source of inspiration, producing the greatest work of his career while his cancer was in remission.
Some of that music will be heard Saturday evening in the South Loop, when members of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) will play "A Tribute to Malachi Thompson" at Fred Anderson Park. The occasion will mark the 10th anniversary of Thompson's death in 2006, at age 56, and, one hopes, remind Chicago of the majesty of his art.
"I'm sure most of the young guys don't even know who Malachi was, because they weren't around," says Chicago saxophonist Ernest Dawkins, an organizer of the AACM Summer Pop Up Series at Anderson Park.
"He always had an iron in the fire," adds Dawkins. "He always was kind of an elder spirit to me. His wisdom was always an old sense of wisdom."
Indeed, a worldly-wise sensibility radiated from Thompson's compositions and from his horn. Whether that was due to the crucible of his illness and treatment is open to debate, but Thompson surely believed that his diagnosis changed everything, including his music.
"I'd have to say it was because of my cancer that I realized I had to start doing things before it was too late," Thompson told me in 1993.
"People don't really think about their mortality when they're in their 30s, but I had to. ... All that time when I was ill and while I was recovering, the thing I did most was read up on jazz. I had to answer all these questions about it that I had all my life.
"Most of all, I wondered about Buddy Bolden, who you could say was the first jazz musician."
No one knows exactly how cornetist Bolden sounded, since no recording of his work in late 19th and early 20th century New Orleans has been found. But written accounts point to a musician who reveled in ragtime rhythm, brass-band arrangements and other signatures of the pre-history of jazz.
The clarion tone of Bolden's horn, it was said, carried clear across the Mississippi River, a legend Thompson decided to test after he recuperated, started playing his trumpet again in 1991 and then traveled to Egypt.
"From my hotel balcony, which faces the West Bank of the Nile, I began to play my trumpet," he told me. "The high banks on the opposite side created the most wonderful echo.
"The delay was such that it was almost like three trumpets playing. Before long the Nubian sailors were in their sailboats heading my way. The sound had traveled some distance on the river, and the Nubians were coming to check it out.
"I played to the river each day I was there, and the Nubian sailors were always there cheering me on. The Buddy Bolden story was no myth."
Inspired by his Egyptian sojourn, Thompson returned to Chicago and began working intensely on "Lift Every Voice" (Delmark), a recording that boldly addressed a vast sweep of black musical culture, from spirituals to blues laments to New Orleans parade music. Joined by his Africa Brass, Freebop Band and a folkloric choral group, Thompson seemed to pour just about everything he had into this album, one of the best of 1993.
When "Lift Every Voice" came out, he said he felt "relieved to be done with this album. In a way, it's a culmination of what I've learned and contemplated about music in my life.
"And I just thank the Creator that I could get it down on record."
"Lift Every Voice" marked a new beginning for Thompson, who went on to create other historically informed yet innovative recordings such as "Buddy Bolden's Rag" (1995), "47th Street" (1997) and "Blue Jazz" (2003).
Along the way, Thompson advocated tirelessly for the music, staging the Hyde Park/Kenwood JAAZ Fest, bringing music to the old Sutherland Hotel, at 47th Street and Drexel Boulevard, and encouraging young musicians wherever and whenever he could.
"He really had a spirit for the community," says Chicago trombonist Steve Berry, who will lead Saturday's concert.
"He interfaced with youngsters who knew nothing about what happened before."
Even so, "I never felt that he got his due after his passing," wrote Andy Pierce, a volunteer on the Fred Anderson Park advisory committee, in an email.
"He was such a dynamic activist, a good musician and very insightful composer that I feel more could be done, should be done to share his music.
"He was a Renaissance man who left us way too soon and way too young. A survivor who was in our midst but then taken."
Saturday's concert will begin to tell that story.
Where: Fred Anderson Park, 1611 S. Wabash Ave.
