Autorretrato como soldado (en alemán, Selbstbildnis als Soldat), es un óleo sobre lienzo expresionista de Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, que creó este autorretrato en 1915, luego de su baja médica del servicio militar durante la Primera Guerra Mundial.  La obra mide 69 centímetros de alto por 61 centímetros de ancho.  La pintura se exhibió por primera vez en la 'Städtische Galerie' en Alemania entre 1916 y 1919 y actualmente se conserva en el Museo de Arte Memorial Allen en Ohio, Estados Unidos.  Autorretrato como soldado puede verse como un testimonio de la frágil salud mental y física de Kirchner y como una crítica de la caótica inestabilidad de Alemania a principios del siglo XX.

Tema
Autorretrato como soldado muestra a Kirchner como un soldado demacrado y utilitario que viste el uniforme del 75º Regimiento de Artillería de Campaña de Mansfeld.  Se encuentra en el estudio del artista, colocado de forma destacada en primer plano. Detrás de él se representa una figura femenina desnuda, probablemente una modelo, situada frente a un lienzo negro. El soldado alza el muñón ensangrentado sin su mano derecha, que se yuxtapone a la representación de su mano izquierda deformada y con forma de garra.  El uniforme está pintado con ricos colores azul y rojo. La piel tanto del soldado como de la figura femenina son de un amarillo enfermizo. La obra tiene una composición recortada, creada al enmarcar las figuras con tonos naranjas y verdes brillantes utilizados como fondo.  Tanto Kirchner como la figura femenina desnuda no están dibujados a escala. El Museo de Arte Memorial Allen cita que "el soldado tiene un rostro alargado y otros rasgos borrosos, mientras que los hombros de la mujer son desproporcionados con los de una verdadera forma humana".

Contexto histórico y sociopolítico
El Autorretrato como soldado de Kirchner fue pintado en 1915, un año después del comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El ímpetu para la participación de Alemania en el conflicto fue su alianza con Austria-Hungría, que declaró la guerra a Serbia el 28 de julio de 1914, tras el asesinato del archiduque Francisco Fernando.  La invasión alemana de Bélgica en 1914 vio a Gran Bretaña declarar la guerra a Alemania. El sistema de alianzas de la Primera Guerra Mundial enfrentó a las Potencias Centrales, que incluían a Alemania, Austria-Hungría, el Imperio Otomano y Bulgaria, contra las Potencias Aliadas que comprometían a Rusia, Francia, Gran Bretaña y los Estados Unidos.  A lo largo de la guerra el nivel de vida y las libertades civiles en Alemania fueron extremadamente pobres. La Primera Guerra Mundial y el Bloqueo de Alemania, 1914-1919 de Mary Cox cita "que la guerra económica en Alemania fue premeditada y diseñada para destruir rápidamente todo el sistema económico y financiero alemán". Así como "la destrucción de los sistemas financieros y de comunicación de Alemania".  Cox también afirma que "el bloqueo fue el culpable de la apatía de la juventud alemana y su mayor participación en actividades delictivas".  Matthias Blum sostiene que las "privaciones económicas y físicas" de la Primera Guerra Mundial dejaron "profundas cicatrices de varios tipos" en Alemania.  En última instancia, el bloqueo naval de Gran Bretaña contra Alemania establecido para restringir el suministro de alimentos, petróleo y armamento de 1914 a 1915 provocó "la hambruna deliberada de los ciudadanos", enfermedades y muertes que representaron una reducción integral de la estabilidad sociocultural y política.

La guerra de trincheras caracterizó la Primera Guerra Mundial y resultó en períodos prolongados de confinamiento insalubre entre los soldados. El más potente fuego de artillería provocó lo que ahora se reconoce como trastorno de estrés postraumático. La salud mental y física de los soldados se vio aún más comprometida por la miseria de las trincheras donde eran comunes los cadáveres, las ratas, el agua estancada, las heladas, las enfermedades y la desnutrición.  Kirchner fue dado de baja del servicio militar activo por incapacidad física y mental. Posteriormente, sufrió de "neurosis de guerra y depresión" que alimentaron adicciones a los fármacos y al alcohol que provocaron un decaimiento de salud del que nunca llegó a recuperarse del todo.

Análisis

Autorretrato como soldado muestra a Kirchner fumando un cigarrillo que cuelga suelto de sus labios. El análisis común de esto sugiere que Kirchner ha optado por representarse a sí mismo pensativo. Peter Springer postula que los ojos totalmente azul oscuro del soldado emanan falta de vida y enfatizan la constante preocupación por los horrores de la guerra a través de su reflejo del uniforme militar azul.  Kirchner utiliza un azul intenso y brillante para recrear la tela del uniforme. Esta elección tonal contrasta marcadamente con los tonos amarillos más claros y enfermizos de la piel del soldado. La interpretación crítica de la obra enfatiza cómo estas elecciones de color drenan la vitalidad del rostro del soldado, destacando su debilidad y abatimiento.  En El diagnóstico del arte: la crisis nerviosa de Ernest Ludwig Kirchner de Jeffery. K Aronoson y Manoj Ramachandram, se dice que el uso de colores verde ictericia y rojo sangriento resalta que la lesión es reciente y no ha sanado. Al igual que las cicatrices psicológicas del servicio militar de Kirchner.  Kirchner ha yuxtapuesto su muñón contra los dedos largos y distorsionados de su mano izquierda que parece una garra. Los historiadores del arte han especulado que la distorsión de estos dedos pretende sugerir un pincel.  Para muchos historiadores del arte, la auto descripción ficticia de Kirchner como amputado es notable. La imaginería de la autoamputación parece subrayar la pérdida y el miedo que siente Kirchner en cuanto a sus habilidades artísticas y su virilidad después de su difícil experiencia militar.  Detrás de su autorretrato, se encuentra una figura femenina desnuda. El uso de contornos negros ásperos para definir la figura demacrada de la mujer emula una fuerte influencia primitivista.  Peter Springer, entre otros, sugiere que la relación entre el autorretrato de Kirchner y la figura femenina insinúa tensión y animosidad.  Se propone que las diferencias de escala entre los dos sujetos enfatizan la corrupción del poder y el desequilibrio de la autonomía y responsabilidad de género.

La cuidadosa selección y amalgama de características visuales y simbólicas en Autorretrato como soldado puede leerse como la condena final de Kirchner al servicio militar obligatorio.  El Museo de Arte Memorial Allen propone que la descripción exagerada de Kirchner de las graves consecuencias psicológicas y físicas del servicio militar subyace a un "miedo inquebrantable, casi patológico, a los efectos de la guerra en sí mismo como artista y ser humano".  De manera similar, Claudia Siebrecht divulga que "a través de su arte, Kirchner se reveló al mundo como un hombre lisiado por la experiencia de la guerra, y como alguien cuya existencia anterior a la guerra y su yo masculino habían sido erradicados".

Estilo
Autorretrato como soldado está marcado por el estilo expresionista distintivo de Kirchner y su afinidad por las influencias primitivistas.

Expresionismo
El expresionismo floreció aproximadamente entre 1905 y 1920 en Europa, emergiendo en Alemania antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Kirchner fue miembro fundador y destacado defensor de Die Brücke, un grupo expresionista fundado en 1905. El expresionismo se preocupó por la expresión de las emociones y la individualidad realzada en oposición a la vida burguesa alimentada por la industrialización y la urbanización .  El movimiento simbolizó la rebelión artística contra la estética, las técnicas y la valoración tradicionales del arte.  El expresionismo abogó por la expresión de la "emoción interna en lugar de las impresiones externas".  La amplificación y distorsión de la forma y el color, a menudo de tono no naturalista, fue fundamental para el expresionismo. El Autorretrato como soldado de Kirchner personifica el expresionismo a través de la descripción de los horrores de la guerra y de la psique interna de Kirchner y la reflexión simbólica individual sobre la ansiedad, la discapacidad y la angustia.  La aplicación de las pinceladas también transmite influencia expresionista. Peter Springer afirma que las líneas direccionales finas y nítidas de la obra y la volatilidad percibida en la aplicación de la pintura evocan la actividad nerviosa de Kirchner al crear la obra.

Primitivismo
Autorretrato como soldado también exhibe una influencia primitivista, especialmente a través de la andrógina figura femenina desnuda y el uso de contornos finos y nítidos para enfatizar la "abstracción esbozada, la rigidez de máscara y la estilización marcada" de la forma.  El "Arte Primitivo", perteneciente al arte y los objetos rituales de las culturas preindustriales, especialmente de las regiones de África o Asia Central, fue una gran pasión de Kirchner y una razón más para la denuncia de su arte como "degenerado" durante el régimen nazi.

Clasificación en la época nazi como "arte degenerado"
La confiscación y denuncia de Autorretrato como soldado por parte de los nacionalsocialistas moldeó profundamente la identidad política y la notoriedad de la obra. El régimen nazi, activo en Alemania desde 1933 hasta 1945, mantuvo una fuerte agenda antibolchevique que equivalía a un rechazo vehemente del arte moderno. En 1937, el Autorretrato como soldado de Kirchner, entre otras obras, fue confiscado por los nacionalsocialistas y tildado de 'degenerado'.  El régimen nazi "suprimió el arte cuyo contenido percibían como una amenaza a los valores e instituciones tradicionales".  Esto facilitó la eliminación de muchos movimientos artísticos modernos, incluidos el dadaísmo, el cubismo, el futurismo y el constructivismo.  La sexta división del Ministerio del Reich para la Ilustración Pública y Propaganda (Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda) fue responsable de la confiscación y destierro de Autorretrato como soldado a un almacén de Berlín.  En 1937, se mostró como parte de una exposición titulada "Arte degenerado" organizada por Adolf Ziegler .  El autorretrato de Kirchner fue titulado "Soldado con ramera" y se exhibió junto con 650 obras que, según se decía, apuntalaban "la decadencia moral de la sociedad y [la] erosión [de] los valores familiares tradicionales".  La condena de la obra de Kirchner como "degenerada" precedió a su suicidio menos de un año después en 1938.

I really love the 'anywhere' function on Skyscanner. One of my favourite ways to procrastinate at work is to put in a random weekend, choose anywhere as the destination and see what adventures are there for me, waiting to be planned.
This is how I ended up in Lithuania.
At £40 return, this remains my best flight deal yet. Turns out visiting unpopular Eastern European countries in the dead of winter, where the average monthly temperature in January is -5C, is not the most sought after getaway. A shocking revelation, I know. But honestly, for anyone who loves to adventure you can find fun anywhere, and I know I get an extra kick out of visiting a place that most people would never think to go. We made sure we packed enough thick socks and our winter coats (or, more accurately, piled on all our thick winter clothes for the flight so we were able to only take carry-on luggage) and headed off to the airport.
We flew into Vilnius (the capital, where we would be spending the weekend) around 2am on Saturday morning. This was my first weekend escapade and I learned a valuable lesson about the reality of your flight leaving London at 10pm UK time – you really do arrive in the middle of the night. I also wilfully ignore the realities of time and space when I travel, and presume that our landing time is essentially the same as the time we will arrive at our accommodation. Of course, even in a tiny airport, our 2am touchdown meant that we didn't end up in bed until 3.30am.
To some, this might sound like a nightmare. To me, there's something unspeakably special about arriving in the middle of the night in a totally new place, watching the snow fall gently. I knew that after I finished university I wanted to prioritise travel and adventures, and it felt so gratifying to think I'm in Lithuania at 3.30am, watching Jake muddle through a conversation with our Uber driver in their shared language of broken Polish while the snow comes down. These are the moments I wanted to have.
The feeling of arriving in a new place even makes the almost car accident we experienced, when our Uber driver was using google translate to tell Jake he thought they were 'countrymen' instead of watching the road, charming rather than terrifying. Everything's got a shine to it when you're exploring – everything's a good story rather than an irritation (an attitude I try to bring home).
Fortunately, our Airbnb wasn't somewhere we had to make a funny travel woes story about. Hours of endless googling had paid off and we'd found a tiny rustic room right by the Gates of Dawn, the entrance to Vilnius' old town. This place felt like a small cabin in the woods, except that it was in an apartment building in the red light district (something we found out as we left two days later).
As this trip happened before this blog was even a faint speck in my brain, I don't have perfect photo coverage or notes. What I do have is an unusually strong memory, a number of bank statements and an assortment of snowy pictures to put together as full as picture as possible of 48 hours in Vilnius.
We first headed off to a pancake place for breakfast. Something crucial to note about Jake (and me, though to a far less militant extent) is that we love to eat local food. I'm pretty sure Jake's personal version of hell would be being forced to eat in a bland chain restaurant for every meal. Something crucial to note about Sophie is that, while she is one of the most daring and adventurous people I've ever met, she has the taste buds of a fussy, frightened child. I consider the many hours we spent in Southeast Asia trying to find her food in random rest stops and small villages that didn't contain meat, fish, eggs, peanuts or mushrooms one of the truest tests of our friendship (though we did find some excellent vegan places in Vietnam). So while Jake and I tried the cottage cheese and strawberry pancakes and something that contained grated potato – everything in Eastern Europe involves potato – she side-eyed even the possibility of cheese at breakfast and stuck to something decidedly more familiar.
My first thought wandering around Vilnius was how… new it looked, despite this being the old town. So many of the buildings were enormously grand but looked almost like cartoons, painted bright pink or yellow alongside white. Given how sparse the people were given the time of year, the centre definitely had an eerie vibe, though was very pretty.
Our wandering was designed to lead us to the Museum of Genocide Victims. As the daughter of professor who has spent years researching human rights and genocide, I have visited an unusual number of major genocide landmarks and memorials, which is the subject for another post. No child of my father's wouldn't make time to engage with the difficult history of this country, something which I believe to be an integral part of understanding any new place with a turbulent past. The museum is situated in the old SS and KGB headquarters, making the information on its walls all too imaginable when you head down to the onsite underground prison. This a good museum, though obviously sobering, and one I'd recommend anyone in Vilnius visit.
After a morning of deep conversations, we switched to some light relief when we wandered past a beautiful snow-covered park and decided to head inside. It was clear within moments of entering the park that I had made a fatal error – I'd forgotten gloves. The ensuing hour of scrambling through snow and throwing snowballs was made less enjoyable (though no less photogenic) by the feeling that my fingers had ceased to be attached to my body.
Dinner was more potato, more beetroot soup and more dumplings (many, many dumplings. This is only a good thing.) The Eastern Europeans share my great love of carbs. Sophie ate plain brown bread with a dash of salt. We tried.
Breakfast the following morning was a similar scene as we headed to the nearby market. Excellent cheap Polish sausage (literally) in the bag to take home, we grabbed a few super cheap pastries and cakes. As Sophie eyed up a completely plain vanilla cupcake, we took bets on what possible issue she would have with this cake. One bite and disgusted expression later, she'd thrown the offending liqueur cream-filled cake at us and went hungry once more. Later, as we walked all over the city in the snow in minus degree temperatures for the specific Milka bar variety Soph swore she'd only seen in one particular random corner shop, I instructed Jake to "think of her like our errant child." His response? "I would not allow a child to behave this way". We never found the Milka bar but I gleaned some valuable insights into Jake's future parenting limits. I'm conscious that this sounds a bit like we all hate each other. We were having a really good time – promise.
We spent most of our second day in the small community of Užupis – a hilarious, bohemian mini-republic inside the capital – and running away from our walking tour guide after we decided that three hours of standing still in the snow looking at buildings of questionable significance was far too intrepid for any of us. Switching to a walk through a random icy forest followed by baked goods was definitely a good decision.
This post has left out specific churches we went into and the many restaurants and cafes we stopped in (because even my brain can't remember that stuff almost a year later). But really what stood out to me was potatoes, snow and the thrill of being in a place the most people will never think to visit. There's something interesting everywhere – and how can you not want to visit somewhere that willingly came up with this marketing campaign?
Have you ever visited somewhere unusual or unpopular?


Swish swish, bish — Katy Perry is going to host the 2017 MTV VMAs!
The singer shared her big news on Twitter Thursday. "Introducing your MOONWOMAN. Brace for impact!" she wrote of her promo, which finds her floating in space dressed as the show's iconic Moonman statue.
Perry, 32, might not have much time to rub shoulders with her pop peers in the audience: With five nominations apiece, she and The Weeknd are tied for second place. Coming in hot at No. 1 is Kendrick Lamar, who scored eight nominations. All three superstars are in the running for Artist of the Year, an addition to the long-running celebration of the year's best music videos. Another change: For the first time since the inaugural VMAs in 1984, the show won't have gender-specific awards.
The news means Perry is joining the ranks of fellow chart toppers who have hosted the fête, including Miley Cyrus (2015), Jack Black (2006), Diddy (2005), Eddie Murphy (1985), and Bette Midler (1984). It also marks a return to form for the show, which went without a host in 2016.
The 2017 VMAs will air live from Los Angeles Sunday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.


Bullet points - a good thing, or a curse?
I've heard people complain that PowerPoint imposes its own ideas of what a presentation should look like, in a way that a blank sheet of paper doesn't. The first slide of your new default presentation is always a title slide for instance.
There is a tangible fear in some users that they are controlled by PowerPoint, and not the other way around. PowerPoint defines your presentation, not you.
However, I don't see this ready made "template" as an imposition, or a limiting straight jacket. It is merely a suggestion of a structure you may want to follow. I would like to think that most of us possess enough creativity to ignore these suggestions when it's possible to use a better structure.
In fact, a ready made "template" to follow can be a godsend to those of us who are either unfamiliar with PowerPoint, or unfamilar with their presentation's subject matter. Or to those who have only 30 minutes to cobble something meaningful together.
Bullet points have often been seen in the work of Modernist designers of the 1920s and 1930s and the glyphs used have been in printers' typefaces since at least the 19th century. And, for better or for worse, bullet points have come to characterise PowerPoint.
Although every slide in your PowerPoint presentation is primed to use a heading followed by a list of bullets, it's not against the law to ban the bullets and insert your own content in your own structure. Sometimes, a Venn diagram may be just what the doctor ordered. Of course, our options expanded greatly with the introduction of all those lovely content rich diagrams in the form of SmartArt. One disadvantage of a bulleted list is that the reader must follow a linear progression from the start of the list to then end, traversing all elements in sequence on the way. However, many concepts can be better represented by other layouts than a sequential list. There are cyclical processes, pyramid structures etc (all covered by SmartArt, by the way).
In summary, we can take advantage of the content structures that PowerPoint gives us - ready made - to save time (and sometimes to save us thinking too hard!) and we can learn to replace those structures that are more effective at delivering our message.
What is a bulleted list? The bulleted list can define a sequence where order is important. It implies a structire; each item on the list is in some way related to the others, and all are constituent elements of a "category" of things. Arrival at any one item in a list can be a catalyst for uts further exploration. By their nature, bullet points tend to be concise and compact pieces of information, and are thus easier to understand than great swathes of paragraphs. They certainly have a greater impact and are pinchier.
Bullet points can help to increase your audience members' comprehension.
But whilst its' often useful to present information in lists, it's not always the best structure. The art is in knowing when to break free of the infamous bullet point.

Woodside Expands Hydrogen Portfolio To The United States
Leading Australian energy producer Woodside has announced plans to expand its portfolio of hydrogen production opportunities to the US, securing land in Oklahoma for future development of a modular hydrogen facility and entering a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hyzon Motors.
Woodside has secured a lease and option to purchase 94 acres (38 hectares) of vacant land in Ardmore, Oklahoma, to underpin future development of its proposed H2OK project. The Company is also progressing similar land acquisition opportunities aligned to growth markets in the US.
Subject to approvals and customer demand, the H2OK concept involves construction of an initial 290-megawatt (MW) facility, which will use electrolysis to produce up to 90 tonnes per day (tpd) of liquid hydrogen for the heavy transport sector. The location offers the capacity for expansion up to 550 MW and 180 tpd. Woodside has completed preliminary design of the modular, scalable production facility and is evaluating tenders to enable commencement of front-end engineering design before the end of this year. The project is targeting a final investment decision in the second half of 2022, and first liquid hydrogen production in 2025. Woodside is also taking a proactive role in developing the US and Australian hydrogen markets, entering an MOU with Hyzon Motors as a New York-based supplier of zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial and heavy transport vehicles. Woodside and Hyzon intend to explore opportunities to work together on demand stimulation, supply and infrastructure solutions, and coordinated advocacy. Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said H2OK and collaborative arrangements like the Hyzon MoU are part of the company's strategy to deliver new energy projects that are cost-competitive and scalable to meet customer demand, noting the significant potential for growth in the US hydrogen market. With H2OK we will be bringing Woodside's extensive liquefaction experience from LNG to deliver large-scale hydrogen production.
H2OK would be located in a highly prospective part of the US market, close to national highways and the supply chain infrastructure of major companies that have signalled their interest in securing reliable, affordable and lower carbon energy.
"Following the completion of Woodside's proposed merger with BHP's petroleum business, we would have a significant presence in the North American market and we expect new energy opportunities to be a growing component of our portfolio," she said.
Woodside has already announced plans to develop phased hydrogen and ammonia production projects in Perth (H2Perth) and northern Tasmania (H2TAS) to supply both Australian and international markets, leveraging capabilities built over decades of reliable and affordable LNG production and supply. Woodside also announced in October a new collaboration with renewable energy technology company Heliogen, involving the proposed construction of a 5 MW commercial-scale demonstration facility in California using Heliogen's concentrated solar power technology
Additional background on H2OK project
H2OK is a liquid hydrogen production facility proposed to be built in the Westport Industrial Park in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Subject to approvals and customer demand, H2OK would involve construction of an initial 290 MW electrolysis facility producing up to 90 tpd of liquid hydrogen for the heavy transport sector, with potential expansion to 550 MW and 180 tpd.
The proposed H2OK facility is located in a strategic transport and supply chain corridor with potential for customers to adopt hydrogen for a range of uses including:
• Heavy-duty trucks
• Warehouse forklifts
• Heavy-duty equipment
• Ground handling equipment
• Fuel cell microgrids for warehouses and datacentres.
Hydrogen produces zero carbon emissions when it is consumed as fuel and is emerging as an important component in the world's transition to a lower-carbon future.
Woodside intends for H2OK to be a net-zero project. Power will be sourced from Oklahoma's existing network, a large portion of which is wind-powered, and Renewable Energy Certificates will be used to abate any remaining emissions.
H2OK joins H2Perth and H2TAS among Woodside's publicly announced hydrogen production opportunities.

Ohio State is the Lloyd Christmas of this year's NCAA Tournament. Last week, they only had a 9% chance of making the field, but what they were saying is, they had a chance. The last team in, the Buckeyes won the tiebreaker over fellow Big Ten members Wisconsin and Minnesota, making them the fourth CCHA team in the field.
The key theme with the Buckeyes this year is youth. Just five upperclassmen populate the roster of the scarlet and gray, and while senior Corey Elkins lead the team in scoring, he is the only upperclassman among the Buckeyes' top ten in scoring. This is a team that will be very dangerous next season, but what will they do when they have arrived a year early for the tournament. The Buckeyes tournament run rests largely on a thirteen game unbeaten streak in the middle of the season, with a slightly sub-.500 record in their final 19 games, including a rough pair of shutouts up in Alaska during the CCHA quarterfinals. The question will be whether these young Bucks can find their mid-season form and give the Terriers more than they might expect out of the last at-large team.
Quick Hits:
Mat Men. Ohio State might be the CCHA team that most desparately longs for a top four seed in the CCHA every year (or a bottom four seed.) By finishing #5 in the CCHA, the "reward" for the Buckeyes was a series against their in-state rivals Bowling Green. However, as the Schottenstein Center also is the host of the Ohio State High School Wrestling Championships, the Buckeyes were forced to play the Falcons in the old OSU Ice Arena, a 1,000 seat facility that was the old home of the Buckeyes through 1998. It marked the second time in three years that Buckeyes were evicted from their new digs by the wrestlers.
Wither the Spartans? By making the field, the Buckeyes assured that five of the six teams from the now-legendary 1998 West Regional at Yost Ice Arena made the 2009 field. Princeton, Yale, Michigan, North Dakota, and Ohio State all played in Ann Arbor that season. It marked Ohio State's first NCAA tournament berth and also their finest to date. A 4-0 defeat of Yale meant the Buckeyes faced off with the Spartans of Michigan State on the campus of the University of Michigan in the "what fresh hell is this" game? The Buckeyes defeated second-seeded Michigan State 4-3 in overtime to advance to the first, and thus far only, Frozen Four in school history.

For the first time, the daughter of famed yet troubled former NBA star Lamar Odom, Destiny Odom, is publicly addressing his drug addiction and subsequent overdose.
In an exclusive interview with People, Destiny, 17, told the mag she hopes that her story of growing up with a father who had an addiction can help other children in the same situation.
"When someone is on drugs there is really not much that you can do except just tell them that you love them and that you're here for them," she says. "You can't force an addict to get better. They have to want it themselves."

The former NBA player suffered a near-fatal drug overdose of drugs including cocaine and herbal Viagra in October 2015. He was found unconscious in a brothel in Crystal, Nev., a town roughly 80 miles from Las Vegas.
"I think he was meant to be here because of me and my brother," Destiny tells People. "It sounds like a cheesy movie, but I think that everything happens for a reason."
In the exclusive interview, teen also says that at one point she felt like she should be blamed for her dad's struggle with drugs.
"I used to worry that [my dad's] addiction was my own fault but after talking to therapists and drug specialists, you just know the way that an addict's brain is chemically wired," says Destiny. "They can love you, they would do anything for you, but at the end of the day, there's a chemical dependency on drugs."

Hahnville boys' swim team sets record by finishing fourth in state
December 5, 2014 heraldguide Sports, Swimming 0
The Hahnville boys' swim team put on quite a show at the LHSAA championship swim meet, finishing in fourth place to set a school record.
The Hahnville boys combined for 169 points, which put them just behind third-place Mandeville. Catholic High School won the state title, while Jesuit came in second.
"I was just really excited," Hahnville swim coach Elizabeth Basta said of her team's performance. "We had the potential to do as well as we did, but it was a shock to go from where we were in previous years to fourth in state."
Nine Hahnville boys qualified for individual events in the state meet, with junior Blaise Wise cruising to a second-place finish in the 200-meter individual medley. Wise also finished 10th in the 100-meter backstroke.
Junior Warren Massimini also had two great performances, finishing fifth in both the 200-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle.
Hahnville junior Vincent Tamplain garnered two top-10 finishes of his own, coming in sixth in the 100-yard freestyle and ninth in the 100-yard backstroke.
Freshman Jay Madden also captured the 10th spot in the 100-yard breaststroke and finished 17th in the 200-yard individual medley.
Along with their impressive individual performances, the Tigers also had success in relay events. Hahnville's 400-yard freestyle relay team, which consisted of Tamplain, Wise, Massimini and Joe Foucha, swam to a third-place finish. The 200-yard medley relay team, which consisted of Wise, Tamplain, Massimini and Brice Soignier, finished in fourth place.
The 200-yard freestyle relay team finished in eighth place. Swimmers on that team included Soignier, Austin Burke, Seth Mullins and Tony Corley.
Other top individual performances by Hahnville swimmers included:
Corley (17th place in 50-yard freestyle), Soignier (15th place in 50-yard freestyle, 15th place in 100-yard breaststroke), Foucha (21st place in 100-yard butterfly, 28th place in 100-yard freestyle), Burke (21st place in 50-yard freestyle, 26th place in 100-yard freestyle) and Mullins (21st place in 100-yard backstroke, 36th place in 50-yard freestyle).
The Hahnville boys' swim team has steadily improved in recent years. In 2012, the team finished in 13th place. Last year, they came in 12th.
Basta credits that improvement to her team's hard work and positive attitude.
"They are really driven to work very hard," she said. "They have a positive attitude and we are like one big family. They encourage each other and they have come a long way."Many members of the swim team will return next year, and Basta is very excited about the future.
"We lose some strong swimmers, but we return a lot of strong swimmers," she said. "I am expecting a lot of top performances and amazing relays."

Hearing is Believing - Audio Media International
Berlin is often seen as a city that is supportive of innovation and creativity. With Germany's strong role in technical research and development, it's not surprising that those interested in sonic experimentation are drawn to the country's capital.
Nicholas Meehan is one of a long line of American citizens who have been attracted by the creative possibilities that Berlin offers.
After graduating from Berklee College of Music and working in Boston, he's settled in Berlin to explore immersive audio with the Institute for Sound and Music (ISM). "We've reached this time where the technology is there and we have the ability to communicate to the public that sound plays as much of a role in our lives as visual architecture," says Meehan. "So, this is at the foundation of my interests and the many others who are part of the organisation today."
Meehan had a loft space in Boston where he was running what he calls 'DIY' events, providing a venue for all the "nerdy kids with synthesisers and laptops," sometimes doing ten performances in a night, each lasting twenty minutes each. "It just turned into a series that went really well," he says. "Ableton caught wind of what we were doing because everyone we worked with was using their software. They sent a couple people over to check out the space one night and offered me a job – which was quite exciting at the time!"
Meehan's focus has always been on the relationship of the installations and performances he's been involved in with the community aspect of the projects, but his involvement with Ableton gave him some insights into how companies see their own particular priorities. "It's a very different thing to be on the outside of a company looking in and seeing this amazing tool they've created that builds communities and makes musician's dreams come true. From the inside it's a very different story. You realise that it is a business that needs to serve a specific purpose."
On his arrival in Berlin, Meehan began to create similar kinds of events to those he'd worked on in the US. "It was immediately clear that there are so many innovative artists in Berlin, but while the small to medium-sized spaces were great in many ways, they lacked any focus of attention to sound and acoustics, which we felt was important." Meehan's first thoughts were; how does one attempt to innovate in a city of innovators? "So we went, how do you give something new to a city that has so much? You really have to find something that is missing. And we then thought, 'Let's just try to get the acoustics in the spaces we're working the best as we possibly can and see what happens.'"
As in Boston, Meehan started attracting the local experimental artists to his events. "We met a lot of people creating surround sound and audio-visual works," he says. "Berlin has always held a fascination as a city for me and, for many years, a lot of the music and artists that I've been listening to had been coming from here. I imagined Berlin as a sort of mythical place where there are countless open spaces that let you be free to do what you want. I often say the American dream is alive and well in Berlin!" When Meehan arrived in the capital and began scouting for spaces for his events, a chance meeting with a small group of travelling graffiti artists was illuminating. "They were asking me what my plan was and what I was doing, so I said I'm working at this software company, but I want to create events and make music myself. One of the artists said that it doesn't matter what your interest is, as long as you're passionate about something, Berlin has a place for you. I can't think of another capital city in the western world where that really resonates truer than here – maybe New York several decades ago?"
The ISM itself consists of a core administrative team of active volunteers and an extended advisory board, consisting of businesses, creatives and technologists, including Daniel Miller of Mute Records and representatives from the likes of Native Instruments, Apple and Soundcloud. "All of us share the responsibility in part for programming and curation," says Meehan. "The great thing about the administrative team is the reward – everybody has a say in the process. The extended advisory board consists of people in the community that have strengths in terms of experience in sound or music in some way or in the fields of technology. So they effectively act as ambassadors for the ISM."
Meehan sees the role of the ISM to bring together artists and technologists to create events where both innovation and sonic excellence can co-exist. "The process often begins with having a coffee, or a beer, or a lunch or whatever with friends who are also artists," he says. Meehan looked at various technologies the ISM might use to enable this ongoing process, including the wave field synthesis technology installed at the Technical University in Berlin. "They have an incredible system built into the walls of their auditorium," he says. "I believe they have 700 seats and over 800 speakers there. It's very impressive. I remember sitting there as Robert Henke (Monolake) gave a demonstration to a select audience and it was stunning how the localisation worked in this space, in this academic environment."
However, as Meehan was attempting to create an installation that could be moved into various sympathetic spaces across the city, this approach would have proved impractical – hence the development of the Hexadome itself. This construct is a relocatable immersive audio/video structure consisting of a six-screen, 360-degree multi-channel audio-visual system with a 54-channel speaker/sound system, all available for use for innovative multimedia artists. The Hexadome was developed by the ISM in collaboration with design studio Pfadfinderei and the ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, using their Zirkonium software. Once Meehan and his team had found appropriate technologies and a partner to help with the sonics, they then had to focus on the visual aspect of the installation. "We had a number of very rough mock-ups of ideas and concepts and, at the end of the day, we ended up working with Pfadfinderei. They've done some incredible work with several established artists on many commercial events."
The initial design for the ISM Hexadome was, well, a dome – an enclosed environment where people would enter to experience the installation – but this proved problematic, as Meehan explains. "The problem with this type of installation is that, to get the best experience without distortion, you need to lie down at the very centre of the dome," he laughs. "And that doesn't work for anyone on the outside of the installation." So, the closed dome became the more open six-screened Hexadome structure, allowing the performer and audience – or maybe participant is a better term – to gain the maximum immersive experience in both sound and vision. "You are very aware of your presence in this space," says Meehan. "And one of the more remarkable things about this is not only this sense that you have when you're inside of it, but it's equally as impressive when approaching it or walking around it. It's similar to the sense of when you're approaching something like Stonehenge."
One of the striking things about the ISM is their skill in getting some serious collaborators on board with the Hexadome project. "We were about two months away from when we needed to start building the Hexadome and we still didn't have all the technology we needed sorted out," says Meehan. "So, I went to ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) in Amsterdam. I was told that Helen and John Meyer (of Meyer Sound) were going to be there, so I bought a train ticket and went to see if I could have the chance to speak with them." And he managed just that. "We talked about their history together – in '60s San Francisco and the company's history," he says.
The conversations were obviously successful, as boxes full of speakers – the same make as those found at Disney, Skywalker Ranch and NASA – began to arrive at ISM. Meyer Sound supplied some technical support in setting up the Hexadome as well. "Just to be in the midst of the dialogue between the experts from Meyer Sound and the experts from ZKM and seeing this kind of magical structure unfold was quite remarkable," he adds.
Immersive audio is a relatively new area of sound experimentation outside academia, so standards are few and far between. This makes reproducibility between performances a problem. Meehan, alongside his colleagues at the ISM has been part of a working group, the Immersive Pipeline Workshop, at Goldsmiths University in London trying to identify common standards, so that artists in this field can have some assurance that their works can be more easily translated between installations. The ISM has managed to attract a wide range of artists to 'perform' in the Hexadome, including Ben Frost and MFO, Frank Bretschneider and Pierce Warnecke, Tarik Barri and Thom Yorke and, alongside his collaborator Peter Chilvers, Brian Eno. "Peter sent over some examples of his and Brian's work together. We'd literally only just set up the Hexadome 24 hours before their arrival," says Meehan. Eno has a track record of working in these kinds of immersive environments, such as the Bloom: Open Space installation in Amsterdam (covered by AMI in April 2018) and, of course, is no stranger to the creative and cultural attractions of the city of Berlin itself.
"To start the Hexadome events with Brian and Peter was a bit unnerving, as you can imagine!" laughs Meehan. "We got everything set up and connected and it was an amazing moment when we turned everything on and it just worked." Eno's example pieces consisted of audio stems and some of the visuals from Chilvers that they could use to test the system out. "Brian and Peter arrived the next day," explains Meehan. "They literally dropped off their bags at the hotel and went straight to where the Hexadome was set up in Berlin's stunning Gropius Bau Museum. Brian was looking around and checking things out, clapping his hands and getting into a sense of the space."
Since the ISM Hexadome installation series concluded in Berlin, the Hexadome has been selected by the Goethe Institute to tour North America throughout 2019 during the Year of German-American Friendship, before voyaging further internationally. Beyond this, what are Meehan and the ISM's plans for the future? "We've started to shift our focus from the tour to the next exhibition – which will be entirely separate from the Hexadome," he says. "Our long-term plan takes us back to trying to answer the question posed earlier – how can we demonstrate to people that sound is as important in our lives as any visual experience?"

Central Florida Knights vs. Baylor Bears Point Spread – Pick Against the Spread
No. 15 Central Florida Knights (11-1 SU, 7-5 ATS) vs. No. 6 Baylor Bears (11-1 SU, 9-3 ATS)
College Football Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Date and Time: Wednesday January 1st, 2014. 8:30PM Eastern
Where: University of Phoenix Stadium Glendale, A.Z.
by Jay, Football Handicapper, Predictem.com
Point Spread: UCF +16.5/Bay -16.5
Over/Under Total: 68.5
The 2014 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will feature a rather improbable pairing
when the no. 15 UCF Knights meet the no. 6 Baylor Bears
in Glendale, Arizona. Neither team was ranked in the preseason top 25 which
goes to show just how much preseason rankings truly mean. Still, the Knights
and Bears overcame expectations this season with equally impressive 11-1
SU records. UCF's breakout season featured an Athletic American Conference
Championship that was marked by the Knights' 2nd 11 win season in school
history. Coach George O'Leary's' Knights could set a school record on New
Year's Day by capturing their 12th victory over Baylor which would be a
perfect ending to an already impressive 2013 campaign.
However the Knights will be rather large underdogs when they visit University of Phoenix Stadium. Baylor is currently listed as 16.5 point favorites at most betting shops after a season that was highlighted by one of the greatest offensive teams in college football history. Coach Art Briles has become one of the hottest coaching names in the country as a result. Before Briles arrival in Waco, Baylor had never had a winning record in the Big 12. This year's Baylor squad won their first Big 12 Championship, captured a school record 11 wins for the first time, and also on the verge of breaking a 32 year old NCAA record for total offense in a season.
The 2013 Bears dominated the nation in total points (53.3) and total yards (624.5) per game. Quarterback Bryce Petty posted Heisman Trophy type numbers with 3,844 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions. The entire Bears offense is loaded with speed that makes them difficult to defend in the open field which is why Brile's up tempo spread offense has been so successful. Receivers Antwan Goodley and Tevin Reese have combined for more than 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. While running back Lache Seastrunk has added an additional 1,060 yards and 11 scores on the ground just to prove there is a slight bit of balance to Baylor's pass happy winning formula.
The only team to hold Baylor under 30 points this season was a top 10 ranked Oklahoma State team that finished the year 10-2 SU. The 10th ranked Cowboys at the time were able to capitalize off several turnovers in a surprising 49-17 blowout. Baylor still posted 453 total yards in that game despite being held to just 17 points. However at the end of the day, turnovers and three failed 4th down conversions led to the Bears demise. Still it could be argued that Baylor did not necessarily get beat by the Oklahoma State's defense but rather self imploded.
The big question heading into the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl is if George O'Leary's 15th ranked UCF Knights can match the speed of the Baylor offense and find a way to keep Baylor's scoring at a minimum. The Knights defense gave up just 19.6 points per game this season which was the 13th best average in the FBS. Obviously UCF has not faced a team with the amount of offensive speed and quickness as Baylor. Therefore it remains to be determined if that speed will be too much to overcome for the Knights' defense.
Offensively the Knights have a lot of under rated talent. Quarterback Blake Bortles has completed 68% passing for 3,280 yards with 22 touchdowns and 7 picks. Running back Storm Johnson is an all-purpose back that has rushed for 1,015 yards and captured 14 total touchdowns. The Knights offense has been rather impressive at times this season. The Knights posted 38 points against Charlie Strong's top rated defense in the 38-35 upset over no. 8 Louisville and also nearly came away with an upset over South Carolina earlier in the year. Therefore surely UCF expects to contend in this game, but odds makers apparently tend to think Baylor's speed will be the difference in this ball game given the large point spread.
Jay's Pick to Cover the Point Spread: There will be two outstanding coaches on both sidelines in this year's Fiesta Bowl and I am certain both (Briles and O'Leary) will have solid game plans. I really believe UCF will contend strongly in this game but a little gun shy to pull the trigger on the 16.5 points given Baylor's explosive offense. However, I do believe the scoring stays down as both defenses will be well prepared. I believe the best bet will be the under 68.5, good luck!
