Economists had expected the addition of 8,000 jobs for the month and an unemployment rate of 5.7 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon. The unemployment rate did rise, but only because of an increase in the participation rate.
But as more people entered the workforce last month the province's unemployment rate edged up 0.3 percentage points to 4.7% between December and January. That was down from 63.8 per cent in January 2018. Stephen from 7.1 to 6.5, Fredericton-Oromocto from 7.9 to 7.7 and Edmundston-Woodstock from 7.4 to 7.3.
The country saw a surprise rush of 66,800 net new jobs in January in a gain fuelled by a hiring surge in the private sector, Statistics Canada said Friday. "We continue to work on ways of connecting these employers to people looking for work or advancement".
The bumper jobs data, the second month of outsized gains in the last three, is one of the last major indicators ahead of the Bank of Canada's next rate decision on March 6. In Alberta, the rates were 6.7% (men) and 5.3% (women).

The good thing about being your own boss is no one telling you what to do, and when to do it. Everything gets done but I'm able to be flexible about when, an artist must follow their muse, right! Today is so warm and sunny so I decided to take a bit of time out and head off down the river.
Water seems to play a big part as my design inspiration, I seem to collect pictures of water, obviously having the river to hand makes this easy, but if I was at the coast it would be the same story.
I've been here a year now I have followed the river Wharfe during all her moods. Today the river is as low as I've seen, but it's tinkling and babbling, bubbling, and twinkling; and with warm sun on my face it's all very spring like.
I'm particularly interested in seeing water in an abstract sense, have a look in the gallery below. Which one is your favourite?
Many of these look a lot like the glass you work up. Beautiful!
Beautiful inspiration! I'm thinking the same thing as Anna. I'm seeing this in glass work. I love 4,5 7 best, and 6 and all the others! Anxious to see what you do with it.
Yes they do inspire my glass work. I have bought a torch to start lamp working, all I need is a gas bottle and I will start experimenting.
I was pricing glass dishes for a gallery yesterday and having been down the river I could see those shapes in my glass even though it wasn't a concious decision.
Also if you look at my post about high fire enamel on copper in ' technique a week' you will see a watery influence there.
The pictures are captivating. They give me a message about your work which is inspired by nature– always moving, always different, always beautiful. Love it all!

Book Reviews, Wayétu Moore
She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore
September 11, 2018 April 9, 2020 by Darkowaa
Date Read: September 10th 2018
Publisher: Graywolf Press
Wayétu Moore's powerful debut novel, She Would Be King, reimagines the dramatic story of Liberia's early years through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. Gbessa, exiled from the West African village of Lai, is starved, bitten by a viper, and left for dead, but still she survives. June Dey, raised on a plantation in Virginia, hides his unusual strength until a confrontation with the overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the child of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave from Jamaica, can fade from sight when the earth calls him. When the three meet in the settlement of Monrovia, their gifts help them salvage the tense relationship between the African American settlers and the indigenous tribes, as a new nation forms around them.
Moore's intermingling of history and magical realism finds voice not just in these three characters but also in the fleeting spirit of the wind, who embodies an ancient wisdom. "If she was not a woman," the wind says of Gbessa, "she would be king." In this vibrant story of the African diaspora, Moore, a talented storyteller and a daring writer, illuminates with radiant and exacting prose the tumultuous roots of a country inextricably bound to the United States. She Would Be King is a novel of profound depth set against a vast canvas and a transcendent debut from a major new author.
Review –★★★★ (4 stars)
Prior to reading She Would Be King, I was a newbie when it came Liberian literature – I still am! I only knew about Nobel Peace Prize winner and writer – Leymah Gbowee, and her feature in the amazing documentary film – Pray the Devil Back to Hell (which I watched and deeply enjoyed for a Women's Studies class in college). This debut had me wanting to know more about Liberia and the work of Liberian writers, such as – Helene Cooper, Hawa Jande Golakai, Vamba Sherif, Leymah Gbowee, Bilphena Yahwon (Gold Womyn) and others. While reading, I actually found a YouTube video where Liberian writer- Vamba Sherif, talks about Liberian literature in an interview. Enjoy!
She Would Be King is a beautiful mélange of historical fiction, magical realism and coming-of-age. Moore skillfully develops the three main characters of this novel: Gbessa – a Vai girl who is cursed and exiled to the forest; June Dey – the child of the strongest rebel on the Emerson plantation in Virginia; Norman Aragon – the child of Nani who was a gifted Jamaican Maroon and a British anthropologist/colonizer (such a terrible man!) . These three characters are guided by the wind and use their gifts – which are considered curses to ordinary people, to save present-day Liberia from its many hidden troubles. I always knew Liberia was the land where some freed slaves and freeborn African Americans made a living, but I had no idea freed slaves from the Caribbean also settled in present-day Liberia, making the nation a flavorful melting pot of indigenous and Diaspora folk.
The first three chapters of this debut explore these three main characters. I loved delving into the characters' storylines and witnessing their evolution through the years. While African-American June Dey and Jamaican Norman play key roles in the establishment of Liberia through their gifts, Gbessa is the shero of this novel (this is not a spoiler, relax!) . Gbessa, who is described as a dark-skinned woman with wild red long hair, grows immensely in this story, to the point where her layered identities begin to haunt her. I'm itching to discuss Gbessa's evolution, but unfortunately it would require divulging spoilers – and that wouldn't be right!

Wayétu Moore's writing felt light and magical in this debut. While reading, my heart raced as I could feel Gbessa's loneliness and isolation, June Dey's anger and power, Norman's intelligence and bravery. The many issues in this story come together beautifully as Moore explores the legacies of slavery and colonialism as well as love, friendship, womanhood and independence. The sisterhood between Gbessa and Maisy – the wonderful woman who plays an immense role in Gbessa's 'civilization' was so heartfelt!
I enjoyed the brotherhood between June Dey and Norman, but I wished their relationship was explored more. These men spent most of their time fighting invaders so there wasn't enough dialogue between them. Also, it took me a while to finish this book thanks to school work, but also because I got bored of June Dey and Norman's chapters, which were heavy with magical realism and lots of action. It wasn't easy keeping up with the wordiness of their fighting scenes which required me to imagine all of their complex, superhero stunts. I really just desired some more depth to June Dey and Norman's relationship and their connection to the settlement of Monrovia.
What I loved most about this novel was reading about the tensions between members of the indigenous tribes and former enslaved African Americans/ free-borns from the United States. I always knew these two groups had difficulty in seeing eye-to-eye, even in present day Liberia, but I didn't realize how deep that tension was.
"But… some of them don't think all of us the same. Some of them think… some of then think they smarter and better fit to lead than those who were already here" pg. 173.
The phrase 'All My Skinfolk ain't Kinfolk' gnawed at me as I read how the African American settlers blatantly disregarded indigenous Liberians. It was eye-opening (and disappointing) to witness how settlers from the US treated indigenous folk similar to the ways slave masters treated them back in the US. Imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy emigrated with the African American settlers to Monrovia, where they imposed their power and discriminated against the natives. Indigenous folk had little say in the governing of their land, as the mayors and key thinkers of Monrovia were predominently the African American settlers. I had to do quite a bit of outside reading on Liberian history and the role of the American Colonization Society (ACS) in Monrovia's complete independence. It was so intriguing to read on the motives of this society and I think I now understand why the election of Liberia's current president- George Weah, was such a big deal.
There's so much to say about this book! While I'd like some clarity on the use of language (pidgin) in the novel and Gbessa's (unrealistic) infatuation with her childhood friend – Safua, this debut is pretty solid. I'd love to know what Liberians and Liberian-Americans think of this novel, as they would probably better understand the nuances of the story. I can confidently say I will read anything by Wayétu Moore, and that this debut is a lovely ode to the country of Liberia and Liberian womanhood, through Gbessa's complex characterization.

5 thoughts on "She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore"
Thanks, Darkowaa. I know very little about Liberia and its history and have never read any books by Liberian authors. She Would Be King seems to have a lot of flavorful elements going for it. This idea of "Imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy emigrating with the African Americans" is something that concerns me. There are many ways that we (African Americans and others) internalize white supremacist patriarchy and impose it on others without really being aware – often assuming that just because we are of one marginalized group or another, we can't possibly have an oppressive bone in our bodies and actions!
Leslie, indeed! It was so upsetting to read, but as we know – its so real, even within the US. I wonder when/if we'll learn to band together and be 1 team (African, African Americans and other black people of various backgrounds). I think it will take centuries for imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy to finally leave our psyche.
Lynn @ Smoke & Mirrors says:
Wow. This looks like a must-read for me. It was already on my TBR listing, but I had no idea of the complex history of Liberia. This sounds fascinating. Thanks so much for the review!
Thanks for reading, Lynn! Right, Liberia is a country I really want to read more about!


Smeraldo, one of Sylvaine Delacourte's La collection Muscs and which means emerald in Italian, has a spontaneous character. If Smeraldo were a colour it would be green.
Sylvaine describes: "I wanted to create a perfume that was both detoxifying and purifying, like the fresh air in the morning, so I created a shock between two worlds: the liveliness which comes from the freshness of plants and the softness which comes from the musk."
The Musky heart of Smeraldo is enlivened with the freshness of green plants. There are citrus peaks with the introduction of intriguing yuzu that alternate between striking green notes from angelica root and resin green notes from the mastic tree. The base notes are vibrant and dynamic, embodied by the vetiver roots from Haiti.

Greater Lafayette Restaurant Week to offer deals, encourage customer traffic
Enforcing persona non grata is not easy
Picking out those who don't belong among 40,000 students, thousands of employees and visitors on the Purdue University campus is akin to playing "Where's Waldo" in a crowd of people wearing glasses, knit caps and striped shirts.
As of Thursday, 66 people are barred from the West Lafayette campus or parts of it. Their names, as well as where they are banned from, appear online, but finding those who are not welcome is a nearly impossible job, Purdue police Capt. Eric Chin said.
"That's one of the reasons we have it on our website. We know we can't be everywhere," Chin said.
Although officers know some people banned from campus by sight, others are unknown to them, Chin said. But it's likely that someone on campus knows the trespassers, and police rely on those good Samaritans to report the unwanted people to university authorities.
The persona non grata issue came up after an Oct. 31 incident at a sorority house. Neil Albee is accused of sneaking into the house and watched a woman showering. He now is banned from campus.
In part of 2012 and all of 2013, Albee was banned from Purdue property, its buildings, as well as the Williamsburg Apartments, as part of his terms of probation after he pleaded guilty to felony trespass on Sept. 27, 2012.
But not all of the bans from campus are because of criminal allegations.
Purdue's policies lay out specific guidelines for when a person should be declared persona non grata, Chin said.
Causing disruptions of university programs, services or activities or interfering with the educational mission of the university can leave a person on the outside, according to the policy.
Not surprisingly, threats or behaviors that risk the safety and security of the university community will get a person banned, according to the policy. And violating a facility's policy can leave you barred from entering that particular facility.
People violate the ban on occasion.
"I can't say it happens frequently, but it does happen," Chin said.
In the case of the Oct. 31 intrusion at the sorority house, the suspect technically wasn't on campus since sorority and fraternity houses are considered off-campus, but Albee is banned because sorority and fraternity members are considered part of the Purdue community, Chin said.
Likewise, there is little police can do if a persona non grata is driving through campus on a public road without causing any problems, Chin said. If the persona non grata drives onto a road owned by Purdue or ventures onto campus for a stroll, however, police can stop the offender, Chin said.
If someone on the list is caught on campus, that person faces arrest and a charge of criminal trespass, according to the policy.
The policy also allows for an appeals process: the accused can request a review within 10 days of receiving a written notice from police.
Being banned from the campus or a building is not necessarily a lifetime punishment, Chin said. Typically, the label of persona non grata lasts for 12 months.
"It's a consistently revolving list, and we do review it frequently," he said.
If someone sees a person who has been declared persona non grata, they should call police non-emergency line, 765-494-8221, Chin said. If it's an emergency, dial or text 911, and if a person's cellphone battery is dead, use one of the blue-light call boxes on campus to contact police, he said.

An awakened mind learns more from the smallest things in nature, enlightenment then is not a destination but a means of understanding life better. The enlightened one is empowered with a superior receptivity, an understanding which sets him apart from common perception.
Most of us have similar patterns of living, yet some of us notice things that others don't. This is a result of an inner awakening which doesn't alter the surroundings but finds newer meanings from similar things.
Nature for me is the best teacher. If you find time to observe it, you learn many lessons that books and institutes don't teach. The unlimited scope of knowledge at your disposal is easily ignored because of fast paced lives and the struggle for survival. But the ones who rid themselves from this daily rat race will acknowledge the scope of therapeutic natural secrets and mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
1. The exuberance of birds and bees instills joy into reality- The chirpy birds and buzzing bees can only be heard in the backdrop of horns, shouts and noise these days. Usually they are perceived as disturbances on a lazy morning, but when one comes to think of it, they not only provide a relief from mechanical noise but also indicate the excitement present in these little souls and how they celebrate each moment of their limited lives.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives– You don't need too much to be excited, you can be happy with whatever is around you.
2. The stillness of plants and trees renders calmness to your sense of being- At time life demands you to run and at others you just need to be still. The latter part has almost become impossible due to the enumerable distractions of the modern world. Plants and trees carry on with their daily responsibilities, of sustaining life, without expecting much in return.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives-When you feel restless , craving attention, excitement, doing whatever it is that you do, just observe the simplicity with which a tree operates all its daily responsibilities. Its selfless stillness will help you keep calm and simplify life.
a part of nature should strive to radiate as much unconditional love as possible.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives- You don't always need a reason or motive to do something good to someone, just like nature doesn't need a reason to make this life possible for you. Go one make a day, make someone happy beyond measure without expecting anything in return.
4. There is a new day after every calamity, there is no permanent pathos, makes you realize that there is always clarity after the chaos- Nature has a way of bouncing back from calamities, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and asteroids, have always obstructed life but never terminated it. Most calamities are man made but nature does its best to help humans recover from these and for itself and the human race to progress.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives– In life you will come across many problems, you will suffer from the consequences of someone else's mistakes, but that doesn't mean you give up. Beyond the chaos in your life, will live clarity, don't give up on yourself just like nature gives up on you.
5. The abundant joys at offer regardless of the pollution humans cause, teaches us a thing about love and accepting people with all their flaws- Yes you play a pivotal role in polluting the world(collective responsibility as a race) . Air, water, wind and though pollution all stem from us humans. But irrespective of all our attempts to sabotage natural life, we wake to a bright sun every new day.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives- When nature offers you all its gifts without partiality why do you judge and fail to accept people as they are. Love unconditionally, spread the magic which is inside your soul.
6. The mesmeric aesthetic surprises we get when we least expect inspires us to do good to others without regret– Nature never seizes to amaze you with its magnificence. When you least expect it, nature uncovers one of its enumerable aesthetic surprises like a sunset when you are travelling, a gentle breeze when you are sweating, unexpected rain when its hot. nature has the knack of perfectly placing one of its beautiful surprises in front of you when you need some cheering up, or need to be inspired.
Lessons you can incorporate in your own lives-Be a source for such magnificence for others. Shine and illuminate the lives around you, surprise people with your goodness, make the sad ones smile, the angry laugh, add to the happiness of the lives around you without wanting a medal for it .
Although these things are pretty obvious but the rat race doesn't allow us to take our attention to notice and act on the subliminal lessons of nature.
Hope you can unearth some of your own life lessons that nature brings to you in varied ways. If you are keen on listening nature will speak to you, so try to listen carefully. If you are keen on seeing nature will show you ways of improving your lives, so see carefully. Charge yours senses and you will discover enumerable lessons around you, which will help you lead a fruitful life.
If you can harness your energies and re-calibrate your view, you will be able to notice that nature has embedded within it many hidden clues, You can either spend your life ignoring these like a fool or awaken yourself and utilize these to create a better you.
The trickling streams of an untouched mountain tell you stories beyond the realms of audibility. These stories defy logic and fill your hearts with gratitude, not allowing your mind to resist.
The roads less traveled always hold a mesmerism to themselves. The anticipation for nature to unfold something new from its box of infinite wilderness has an allurement which dwarfs most other attractions. As your cup of awe overflows on such exploratory excursions, you are confused whether to tell others about this magnificent mysticism or let nature be in its natural form.
I happened to spend the Sunday,seeking some respite in the comforts of the most captivating landscapes the lower Himalayas have to offer. As we went higher, it appeared as I was transcending a new plane of understanding. Till a point when nature itself started to speak. Or rather I could hear it as I got a hold of the super frequency of the cosmos.
1. Contribute, don't be too full of yourself– The center of the universe for most of you lies within the confinement of your physiological self. At the base of these colossal mountains, with river beds wider than the eye could see, I realized we are nothing but the trickles of water coming from different sides of the mountain. We might have our own paths down the mountain, but all of us contribute to the same big river. Thus, the center of the universe is not within us because the universe is capable of going on without us. We can just contribute to it in our own little ways.
2. Flow,there is a way around everything– The streams gently trickled along their own path. Dodging huge boulders, avoiding fallen trees, making a path of its own. Though it might be capable of taking everything with it in all its fury but it avoids this situation till extremities arise. Hearing a gentle stream trickle down an untouched mountain soothens the soul and renders a calming effect on your identities. It shows the easy by which one can avoid all conflicts by just flowing.
3. Focus, the task at hand is paramount– As I went further up the mountains, my primordial teachers divulged more knowledge. A cloud cover engulfed the entire valley. Initially I was a little irritated as it obstructed the beautiful view. Then the relevance of the task at hand dawned upon me. Instead of being distracted you should focus on inhabiting the moment. If you are too busy enjoying the view, you overlook the task at hand. Temporary satisfaction might help you float but it wont keep your boat up for too long.
Sooner or later, your lack of focus would prevent you from reaching the very peak, where the actual treasure or satisfaction lies. So do take a break and enjoy where you have reached, but don't lose focus, because the real prize always lies ahead. Don't be disheartened by the clouds which hide the view(problems which camouflage happiness), just keep going because at the peak lies the real prize.
4. Be friendly, nature does respond– All natural calamities are a response not an action. Greed conquers us all. We build dams, pollute sea and land, blast mountains for lime, hunt animals and as a result we see delayed responses from the universe. We initiate the imbalance and then blame someone else for it. If you go into the wild with an open mind and a considerate heart, it will always respond positively, and spell bind you with its awesomeness.
I happened to be fortunate to meet "Bissu" (Biss means 20 in hindi, it was named Bissu because of its 20 nails, considered as a local mark of a well bred dog) an Indian mastiff who took up the responsibility of our body guard/guide. A cosmic body guard is one for the MARVELS, but it is what it is.
5. Appreciating the insignificant makes us enormous– Nature instills in you a stillness to acknowledge its beauty and be grateful for the little things. These things often go unnoticed when you are busy occupying your office space or other portions of the cemented cosmos. You as big as you can notice. Trivial tasks can be learnt by repetition, but it takes a lot to go out of the way and notice the apparently insignificant things and gestures. But these minute things are the ones which actually make you stand out of the crowd.
Natures ability to make you open our eyes to the tiny things keeps you in good stead in your daily lives. You notice and deduce more from the same scenario keeping you ahead of common though patterns and mundane perceptions.
6. Breathe, you will be inspired– True inspiration lies in absolute solitude. My rendition of solitude is, in oneness with the self and nature. With no other mind to hinder your thought process, you will be inspired to achieve beyond you think you can. Embracing nature in its purest form guides you in ways you cant even imagine. All you need to do is to leave your stress at the base of the mountain, and let the roads take you higher, both in body and thought.
Although you are dwarfed by the infinity of the cosmos, yet the fact that you are a small part of something so huge is awe inspiring. If you embrace this feeling and strive to stay in unison with the elements, you will be empowered and energized to face anything that life brings your way.
You would not only be a spec in the vastness but a spec capable of making a difference. Share knowledge, inspire who you can, help the needy, respect what supports you.

Meaning of Pono in Hawaiian & How it Affects Culture
Pono, like many Hawaiian words, does not have a one-to-one-word English translation. If there were one, it would probably be "righteousness," as in the state motto: "Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono," or "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."
What's missing with the word "righteousness," however, is the balance and harmony pono connotes for Hawaiians. To be pono means to be in a state of harmony or balance with oneself, others, the land, work and life itself.
Samuel Hoyt Elbert's Hawaiian dictionary gives six different meanings for pono. While we most often think of pono as an adjective, some meanings here are nouns or adverbs:
Goodness, uprightness, morality, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, well-being, prosperity, welfare, benefit, behalf, equity, sake, true condition or nature, duty; moral, fitting, proper, righteous, right, upright, just, virtuous, fair, beneficial, successful, in perfect order, accurate, correct, eased, relieved; should, ought, must, necessary.
Completely, properly, rightly, well, exactly, carefully, satisfactorily, much (an intensifier).
Property, resources, assets, fortune, belongings, equipment, household goods, furniture, gear of any kind, possessions, accessories, necessities.
Use, purpose, plan.
Careless, informal, improper, any kind of (preceding a stem). For example: Ponoʻai, to eat in any way or anything, take potluck. Ponohana, to work any way that suits one. Pononō i ka noho, living any old way, shiftless. Pono lole, any kind of clothes. Mai pono hana ʻoe, akā e hana pono, don't work carelessly, but work carefully.
Pono, like mahalo, or a thankful way of living, and kuleana, or a sense of personal responsibility, is one of the values of the aloha spirit that's so deeply ingrained in Hawaiian culture. It differs slightly from the other values in that, for most, it is slightly out of reach. It is something to authentically aspire to rather than to fully attain, mostly because pono means more than doing the right thing in a given situation, but rather living life with balance, harmony and integrity, seeking to improve the surrounding world.
The concept of pono is taught to Hawaiian children at a very young age. It is a guiding principle that is to shape their every decision. "Is it pono?' they are to ask. In other words, will what you're about to do help bring harmony and good into the world?
The concept may feel a bit lofty until one considers an example. Littering is easy to do because it requires effort to put something into the garbage, especially if there isn't one nearby. The pono choice, however, would be to avoid littering, as it affects the earth, creating imbalance and introducing a foreign substance into the natural world. Picking up someone else's garbage is also a pono action, as it helps restore order and balance, even though it's a small action.
Pono is a large, diverse idea that encompasses a range of balanced, proper and good actions. It is also an idealistic one, in that everyone does something that's not pono once in a while. But the Hawaiian way is to keep reaching for pono in life by making righteous decisions each day.

Q: How to get toString for each element of an ArrayList? I have this class has constructor taking a String and a Arraylist as argument;
class Foo{
    String ide;
    ArrayList list;

    public TypeOperator(String ide, ArrayList list){
        this.ide = ide;
        this.list = list;
    }
}

so when I initialise the class like below:
ArrayList<SomeType> list = new ArrayList<Some Type>;
list.add(SomeType1);
list.add(SomeType2);
Foo one = new Foo("->", list);

is there a way to print the format like below:
SomeType 2 -> SomeType 1

Let's say I have a SomeType class. Do I have something to do in the SomeType class?

A: First of all, it's highly recommended to stay away from raw types. List is a generic type, so you should use it as a generic type.
Then, what you want to do is a mere join operation. If you are using Java 8, you can do
list.stream().collect(Collectors.joining(" -> "))

In plain old Java, you can do
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Iterator<T> it = list.iterator();

if (it.hasNext()) sb.append(it.next());
while (it.hasNext()) {
    sb.append(" -> ").append(it.next());
}
String result = sb.toString();

A: You need  to implement the toString() method  from Foo which will be something like:
public String toString(){
    String result  = "" ;
    for(int  i = list.size()-1;i>0;i--){
        result = result+ list.get(i).toString() + " " + ide + " ";
    }
    result = result + list.get(0).toString();
    return result;
}

or, with better performances, as Dici pointed out   :
    public String toString(){

    StringBuilder result  = new StringBuilder() ;
    if (!list.isEmpty()){
        for(int  i = list.size()-1;i>0;i--){
            result.append(list.get(i).toString()).append(" ").append(ide).append(" ");
        }
        result.append(list.get(0).toString());
    }
    return result.toString();
}

Then following the way you want to display SomeType you will probably  have to implement  its  own toString  method.

A: You need create a method toElementString in Foo class.
 public String toElementString(){
        if(list == null || list.size() == 0) return "";
        StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
        int size = list.size();
        for(int i = 0; i < size;i++){
            buffer.append(list.get(i));
            if(i != (size - 1)){
                buffer.append(" ");
                buffer.append(ide);
                buffer.append(" ");
            }
        }
        System.out.println(buffer.toString());
        return buffer.toString();
    }

Your digital SLR camera's depth of field preview button is much more useful than photographers first think. I know this from personal experience.
Like many new DSLR photographers, I pressed the depth of field preview button on my Canon 400D and saw everything got darker when looking through my viewfinder. Not understanding what I was looking at exactly, I didn't use it again for over 6 months. Now I never take a shot without it.
What does depth of field preview button do?
The depth of field preview button, gives you a preview of the overall depth of field you can expect to see in the final photograph before you've taken the actual shot.
In other words, it will show you how much of your photograph will be in sharp focus and how much will be blurred.
Why is this useful? Like many beginners, I too wasted a lot of time taking numerous images while changing the aperture settings between shots, until I found the setting that blurred my background exactly as I intended.
Now I preview the background blur (or sharpness depending on what you require) and correct the depth of field before taking the photograph.
Where to find the depth of field preview button on a digital SLR camera?
Unfortunately not all digital SLR cameras have a depth field preview button. For example, the Nikon D40 doesn't have this option. On many other models, for example a Canon 400D, it can usually be found on the front of the camera body, on the left side, under the flash button.
It's a very handy place for it, as it's positioned exactly where your left hand rests when holding your camera. If you don't see it there, check with your camera manual.
How to use the depth of field preview button?
When using the preview button, it's important to take more notice of the out of focus area's of the composition. It's these out of focus area's that you'll see change as you set different aperture F numbers.
To do this, you have to practice looking past the change in darkness that occurs when you press the button. The higher you set the aperture F number, the more that will seem in focus. Follow the step by step assignment posted below to truly understand how it works.
Assignment: A lesson in using your camera's depth of field preview button.
For this example, set your digital SLR camera to aperture priority AV (for Canon) or A (for Nikon), choosing the lowest aperture F number possible. Set the lens focal length to around 70mm. Now look through your viewfinder and focus on a nearby object.
When you press the preview button, you'll most likely notice nothing much happens. This is normal for low aperture F numbers, because basically what you see when you first look through your viewfinder, is the main object in focus.
Now change the aperture F number to F/11 and try again. This time you will notice two things when you press the DOF (depth of field) preview button.
The first noticeable difference is that the screen got darker when looking through your viewfinder. This is normal, it happens because the lens stopped down to the aperture you selected. However, don't worry about this, your photograph won't be that dark when you take the shot.
Now it's important to take notice of the changes that happened in the out of focus background, when looking through the viewfinder. Looking past the darkness, you should see that at F/11 the background elements got sharper (more focused). Now try a higher F number, for example F22. You'll notice the higher the F number, the more that looks focused when pressing the depth of field preview button.

I see this subject get kicked around on Zentangle fan forums from time to time. I don't normally engage because I don't really feel like handing angry people a stick to beat me with, but it's hard for me to see something so inherently good and useful be misunderstood. So, I want to try to explain it. Please bear in mind that this is my own point of view and I'm not representing anyone else.
It is possible to place identical drawings side by side where one is a doodle, and the other is a Zentangle. The reason that's possible is because the art itself does not make a drawing a Zentangle. The art is the byproduct of the complete mental immersion in the process of 'tangling'. It all depends on where your mind is when you do it. If you're in this for the art, these guidelines don't matter one iota. Doodle/draw/sketch away. But if you're craving a temporary, effective escape plan from pain, grief, or stress (or you just need a mental break) read on, because this information just might come in handy one day.
Yes, the rumors are true: there are guidelines (they're just roads to a destination, really) with Zentangle. And they don't exist to crush your spirit. Think of them as stout little pillars that work together to support a single purpose: to refocus the mind. Zentangle is mindful. Every guideline exists to make that complete mental immersion possible, and sustain it. That's no easy task in a fast-paced culture (with a constant barrage of distractions) like ours.
If you're not a rule-follower, it's ok. Not following these steps does not mean your line art is in any way bad or wrong; it just means it's not technically a Zentangle. I'm a CZT and 99% of what I draw isn't technically Zentangle... I'm here for the art too. It's good to know the difference, but don't let it be a label and keep you from enjoying the journey.
On sharing: I have gotten several requests for permission to share this post. I have no problem with anyone (CZT or otherwise) sharing it, either in print or online, as long as no changes are made to what I've written and I am credited as the author. If you share a link, that's great... if you aren't linking directly to this page please throw in my blog website too. Thank you so much for all the sharing, forwarding, exclaiming, virtual hugs, and 100% positive feedback.
thanks Annie! I discovered it by accident too.
I saw a video on Zentangle.com showing someone using a ruler to create a pattern. Isn't that against all that CZT's & the Founders have tried to convey? Just curious. I started out using official tiles and only Micron pens. I was going through pens like crazy and they aren't cheap so I changed to sketch paper or card stock and switched to Copic pens which I found are also expensive but last much longer. I also like using color on some things. I call it Zentangle if I use an "official" pattern because it's not my pattern and believe in giving credit when due. I've seen patterns I've doodled in the margins of notebooks since Grade school posted as ZT patterns - just coincidental and am sure I'm not alone. No big deal really but I find the expense prohibitive for people it would help such as the women I counsel who have had childhood trauma. I teach it to them and provide them with cheaper supplies. I just show them the DVD I purchased 6 yrs ago with my kit. Not making any money as its part of my job. Can't bill for it. I don't call myself a CZT but art & the meditative aspects are healing. Thanks. I left forums too. !
You're right, using rulers and the like is technically not Zentangle... but it is a personal preference. I know several tanglers that just cannot get comfortable with imperfection, so that's what they do. It makes them happy, so I leave it alone. And I know lots of people that use other materials besides the 'official' tiles. As long as it's 3.5 inches square (for the reasons I listed above) it's still a Zentangle. The founders aren't jerks... they just wanted people to have the best materials available to them for their art. That doesn't mean everyone likes the texture of Fabriano paper and there are lots of other great options out there. Nothing wrong with that at all. Personally I love the official tiles because the paper is toothy and it forces me to draw slowly, but I also love 60# Hammermill cover text paper because it shades like a dream. And I love the way Copic multiliners feel in my hand (they're comfortable to draw with... and let's be honest, they're pretty!) but the ink never lasts for me. The nibs aren't as durable as Microns. I'm heavy-handed when I draw so the nibs eventually either bend and split or retreat in fear back into the metal nib sleeve. ;o) Glad you use what makes you happy and that it works for you. Happy tangling.
I agree with irishlass61 with regard to the fact that the official supplies are much too expensive for people on pensions, etc like me. I discovered Zentangle by accident, too, and am going to try to teach myself with the help of blogs like, yours, Sandy, and all the others out there, and all the design instructions, etc in books, on pinterest, etc. I've borrowed books from my local library, and am going to make my own step out instructions cards for the tangles in them, and taking notes of hints and tips and storing them on my computer for future reference. I'm buying some books that I've got from the Library because I've discovered I really need to have them all the time. Now I just have to find some artists paper that I can afford to buy. It is so expensive here in Australia, I guess because they are all imported and the exchange rate is soooooo bad at the moment. I'll get there, though, even if I have to use ordinary copy paper to start with. I actually bought some Micron pens by accident on ebay, not realising that they were the ones I needed, and managed to get them at a really good price. I could buy the supplies from the Zentangle teachers here in Australia, but they are just soooooooo expensive, and I simply cannot afford them.
have you tried bristol paper, Christine? That's what the Zentangle Apprentice tiles are made out of. It's smoother, easy to find, and definitely less expensive... maybe you'd like that? FYI there are CZTs out there who will do classes over Skype, etc... if you want more info let me know and I'll see if I can find out more.
So well put. It's so easy, with so much inspiration and encouragement and challenges and the like to lose sight of the core values of where this thing started. And every so often I like to go back to those basics and do a tile using those pure principles - and when I do it FEELS so great. Because in those moments the process is all, the product is a side effect.
Just reading your comment made me want to go tangle. lol. Thanks RR.
I could not have said it better. This is excellent Sandy. Thank you for your insight.
Great explanation of the process. Like you I have evolved to color. I call my art Freestyle. Hope I can share this with your permission.
Very well-stated! Thank you for so articulately summarizing the essence of the Zentangle method.
Awesome! I left a forum because they were always so concerned with someone copying their work. If this is art that is an issue I get that but it stole my only in the zentangle process. Only about 10% of my work follows the strict rules of zentangle but let it be known that I found zentangle in a extremely stressful and painful period of my life and it has saved me and for that I will be eternally grateful! Tangle on people! Thank you for your words!
Beautifully stated. Thanks for sharing this. I will definitely share some of these great points with my students.
Great post Sandy! Is it okay if i include a link to this in the newsletter I send out?
Wonderful post Sandy. Thank you for expressing the differences between Zentangle and art so well.
I don't mind at all. Thanks.
Sandy this is just so eloquently stated. Thank you for your creative written and tangled contributions to the Zentangle community and artists everywhere. Beautiful!
Excellent post. I have no artistic flair, but that is ok. I can be content with drawing tiles because The Zentangle® Method says that is ok and I end up with something that pleases me.
what you may lack in artistic flair you make up for in wordsmithing. Love your name. ;o) awesome, thanks for the reply.
Thank you, thank you, Sandy! I get so tired of wanting to say this over and over to people on the Zentangle Facebook group who haven't bothered to read the about information or research Zentangle. You explain it so very well.
Sandy, an awesome description of what this is all about! I was so proud of my first few tiles, and showed them to my sister, she said "what do you do with them?" My reply was "nothing, I enjoy creating them, and I enjoy looking at them!" Everything we do does not have be toward a 'finished product'. I still go back and enjoy looking at those first few beginning tiles. And I've even used Zentangle images on cards, on quilts, and totebags. I've made hundreds of cards with a tangled greyhound image on it and tangled dog paw pads on it to donate to greyhound adoption groups. And I enjoyed everyone making every one of them. So I do have an end to some of my work now, but still love just 'tangling', emerging myself in the drawing. Thank you for this wonderful article to remind me of how much enjoyment I have gotten from Zentangle!
People have asked me what I do with my tiles... I occasionally leave them for others to find, or share them... but mostly I do them to make me happy. I've got tiles everywhere. lol.
you are welcome to share, thanks.
Thank you Sandy! This is so accurate, and Terrific and wholesome!
Can I share this with my students?
you bet. thanks for the comment.
you can print and share as much as you like but I'm gonna recommend that you not roll it up like a newspaper and smack people with it. lol. I totally understand your frustration... it's the whole reason I wrote this.
Thank you Sandy. You have put into words a great description of what Zentangle is all about. Would you mind if I share your article with my students?
I don't mind at all. Thanks for asking.
Well written! I'm not a CZT anf have never taken a class but I draw, doodle and tangle just for the fun, relaxation and peace it brings. I don't feel like I have to follow the rules and I don't even care if it's an official zentangle. It's just for me and my peice of mind. What's all the arguement about anyway, fighting is not very zen, so pick up a pen, draw and relax.
Well said...thank you for articulating so nicely all the things I wished I could have said that well. I will definitely put a link on my Facebook page.
Thank you Sandy!! This was SO helpful. I love Zentangle, but got a little distracted by the art of it and then confused. Now I can relax and enjoy that totally relaxed experience I enjoyed so much when I didn't worry so much about the art of it.
Thank you for a terrific post! As a new CZT just starting to teach, I want my students to understand that it's about the process not the product. A copy of your post is going into my teaching binder!
I hear what you are saying and can respect it all. However, this then means that the art on the cover of the Tangle Guide is not a Zentangle as it does not met the criteria you have set in your article. Yes?
It isn't, but that piece wasn't designed to be a Zentangle. It was designed to be pretty and showcase some of the patterns in the guide in an attractive way. That is categorized as Zentangle-Inspired Art, or ZIA for short. A lot of tangle art on the web falls into this category.
I agree with the others. You kit the nail on the head! I would also like to share this with my students if that is permissible. Thanks for sharing what we knew but did not know how to put in to words!
feel free to share...thanks for asking!
Fabulous!!! SO very well articulated. The ONLY thing I would add would be that I find starting and ending each Zentangle with gratitude and appreciation so very important. It sets the stage and frames the time into a ritual type of atmosphere for me. I've gotten away from it for a while. Your words here are pulling me back. Thank you so much!
ditto what you wrote!. thanks for the comment.
What they all said. Excellent article. I will save the link and send folks here. Good job!
So EXCELLENT! I would also like to share with my students!
it does make sense, and I have one of those on my shoulder too!
Thank's for your wise words Sandy! I am glad i run into this post. If I had been younger when I found out about zentangel-method ( only8 month ago) I would probably have done anything to become a CZT. But zen is well known to me, I got into zen- meditation 1986 and it still means much to me. Your words encourage me, I have shared this post on FB and when I get home ( I am on a small trip right now) I will print this and keep it to remind myself when I stumble and get away from path. So thank you once again Sandy from my hearth.
thank you for sharing, Anita... I'm glad it's helpful to you.
Wow you nailed it! I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and way back 60 years ago our art dept warmed up to patterning exercises. I doodle and tangle on everything. its relaxing. I don't feel the need to be trained, I can do this very well on my own..and teach patterning as well. Too bad the blog only accepts art from CZT's.
if you're on facebook you're welcome to share your art on my page. I'd love to see it. Look for the line that says 'feel free to join me here' and click on the word 'here'.
Thanks for the explanation. I use tangle patterns in my artwork but I don't refer to them as Zentangles either. Instead, I call them Zentangle-inspired art, or ZIA, which is I think the proper term.
thank you so much, Sandy for sharing your wisdom with us. I first read it on Linda's site ( another wonderful sharing spirit) and with your permission I'd like to share it with my tangling friends. I love your mookas!
thank you, winful! I agree, Linda really is wonderful!
Sandy, this is beautifully written...and just the way we tangle: passionately confident :) Thank you.
Thank you, Sandy, for the clear, concise information. For me, it was a great reminder about why I started doing this form of creative expression, just when I needed it most. Thank you for allowing Linda Farmer to share it on TanglePatterns.com because that is where I first read it.
thank you for the kind comment, Camille!
Couldn't be more clear!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad tangling is working for you! I've contributed art to several books but I haven't published any of my own (yet), so you might be thinking of Sandy Steen Bartholomew. But I'm honored that you thought it was me!
Sandy, I got back to this post via Linda Farmer's Tanglepatterns.com I am doing my first free Intro to Zentangle class at a local library in a few weeks. (I'm a CZT--#18). I see in your response to Lianne (above) that you authorized her to share this article with one of her classes. With your permission, I'd like to do the same as it is the best articulation of Zentangle that I've seen. I will, of course, make sure that your blog is referenced as the source. Tangle on!
Thank you so much for this post! I've shared excerpts and linked back to this post from my blog. I also appreciate you giving the okay to share this article. I am certain it's going to be referred to by tons of folks over the years.
you bet! thanks for the comment.
Sandy, your blog is one of my favorites and many comments here exactly express my sentiments about your statements, so I won't elaborate about how well stated this article is. My husband and I, both CZTs, always tell our students in their introductory class very much the same things. We stress the difference between being Mindful and being Mind-full. I will be sure our students see what you have written either by sharing your URL or in print with your URL included. Thanks!!!
I am delighted to add my name to the wonderfully long list of people who are so appreciative of what you have written regarding Zentangle. I often times head out on a ZIA adventure with intentions of grandeur only to be stumped by over-imagining, overthinking, over-planning and I find it so refreshing and grounding to come home to a simple Zentangle tile and the beautiful meditative state of following the method. Thanks again Sandy.
I love this comment so much I just might quote you.
I'm very much the same. While I'd love to learn more and become a CZT, my life won't allow for it. And I can't draw my way out of a paper bag. But I CAN tangle.
So many people I know see what I'm doing and say "Oh, I could never do that!" I'm constantly correcting the misconception. Zentangle is a process of drawing simple line variants in ink over a small space while focusing on the work. Anyone who can use a pen can tangle.
I personally prefer larger works and have an 8x11 sketchbook with paper my Sakura pens won't bleed through. I don't need the work to be correctly labeled as Zentangle; I don't engage in the process for brand recognition. I do it for peace and the journey.
I carry a small pencil pouch with mechanical pencil (for lightly tracing strings), a set of Sakura pens ranging from .005 to .08, and a tiny pocket notebook. I also carry a small clipboard with a few 3"x5" cards on it for smaller projects since I can't afford to buy tangling tiles (the pens were a much treasured gift). These live in my purse and take up next to no space at all and travel with me everywhere.
My 5 year old daughter is hospitalized often due to a multitude of life threatening medical conditions. Her hospital room is one of my favorite places to tangle because I can bring peace to the quiet and emerge with something beautiful.
I've spent a lot of time in hospitals with my mom over the last several years so I know how useful it can be. Danielle, can you email me, please? tanglebucket at gmail dot com. Need to ask you a question.
I was not able to catch the whole discussion about Zentangle , nor what they were saying what was considered copying a Zentangle design, but do appreciate what you have written. Like yourself I have been doing this for years but I called it my doodles. It is one thing to take an exact piece of work , remove their name and put yours on it. This is wrong and is copied , but it sounds like some people were saying that if you use anything that looks like a Zentangle it is protected by copyright , this would be absurd ! Art inspires people and you can see bits and pieces of one persons art in another's all the time, because it inspires them! If it is being said that you are not able to Reproduce anything similar they taught in the book , then why would you put a book out? We might as well consider all how to books useless if we are not able to use what they taught us. I like yourself will continue to draw, paint , sculpt and doodle whatever comes to my. Mind ! After all, many sites including fb state that what ever one posts online is no longer considered their own !
well said! keep on releasing your art to the wild.
Congrats Sandy, beautiful article and accurate information. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards from Spanish CZT.
Could you please leave this post on your blog even if you remove some of your others, Sandy. I think this explains Zentangle so clearly and in a way everyone can understand. I'm going to save this post to go back to when I need reminding what Zentangle is really about. I'm hoping that it will help with my clinical depression, PTSD, anxiety, stress and dealing with the fact that I am virtually housebound now. I don't want to have to have more ECT treatment again, which I had several years ago, but at the moment I feel like I need it. I'm hoping Zentangle will help me avoid that. If only the paper and pens were not so expensive, though. I'm worrying about being able to get the supplies I need, so that's just adding to my stress levels. Oh, well, I guess I'll work it out. I have contacted one of the CZTs here in Hobart, Tasmania, but still have not had a response from her after 5 days, so I guess I'll have to try the other one, even though she lives a lot further away.
Hi Christine, thanks for the comment. I've heard people say that the cost of official Zentangle supplies is prohibitive outside the US, especially with shipping costs added in. Try bristol paper; that's what the Apprentice tiles are made out of. It's a little smoother than the regular tiles but a lot of people really like it. And it shades like a dream. If you want something a little rougher, cold press watercolor paper is good and has the added bonus of being able to handle wet media. Any fiber tip pen will give you a little drag on the paper which will help to keep you drawing slowly. Focus on your breathing when you draw, and it will help.
Thanks for this post. I know it's a few years old, but it still rings true! I have shared it on my blog for more people to read. I think it is so important for people to understand that Zentangle is about the steps, the method, the rules, and not about the outcome--even if the outcome is pretty awesome most of the time!
Oh my god, thank you for writing this. It's just fabulous. I will link to it and forward the link to everyone I know who doesn't get the difference. What a great service you provided here!!! Thank you, you smart cookie.
thank you for sharing, Chris!

Mastersfx opens Toronto studio
Posted by admin on June 21, 2016
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The veteran FX shop also has studios in L.A. and Vancouver. (Company president Todd Masters and Zane Knisely pictured.) [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]FX studio Mastersfx has announced the opening of a 5,000 square foot facility in Toronto. The company, which has also operated a Vancouver studio since 2000, specializes in providing character effects (such as FX for creatures, prosthetics, digital makeup, tattoos and props) for film and television. In addition, Masterfx supplies FX props to studios for rental. The new studio space is located in Etobicoke, ON and is currently staffed by 10 FX artists. Company president Todd Masters told Playback Daily that one of the reasons the company chose to set up shop in Toronto was that some clients were beginning to insist Mastersfx had a studio in the city. For its TV projects in particular, Masters said the need to be based here in a permanent capacity, rather than simply as a pop-up effects shop, prompted the studio opening. Over the past five years in Toronto, Masterfx has worked on projects such as Netflix's Hemlock Grove and more recently on NBC's Heroes Reborn. There were artistic reasons as well as business ones that prompted the opening of the new studio, added Masters. "Toronto is a bit of a genre town. There are a lot of things that happen [in Toronto] in fantasy, science-fiction and horror, which is kind of our bread and butter," said Masters of the company's reasons for setting up in the city. Established by Masters almost three decades ago, Mastersfx has previously worked on Mad Men, True Blood, Almost Human and Falling Skies, as well as creating the vampires on True Blood and the corpses on Six Feet Under. The company is also currently working on two Syfy shows – The Expanse, which shoots in Toronto, and iZombie, in Vancouver – as well as NBC's The Night Shift and CBS series The Zoo. The Toronto studio will see Masters partnering with FX makeup specialist Zane Knisely. The pair had collaborated on a number of projects before the conversation started about them opening a studio together.
