Immortal Tai Yu's eyes looked dim. He had the look of just waking up with some dried stuff at the corner of his eyes, and was still in a very confused state. He gave Wu Qi a glance tiredly, then asked once again in a cold voice, "What is happening?"
With a casual pointing of his finger, a beam of immortal light shot out and hit the white-faced Daoist. The body that had been badly mutilated by the explosion of wind and fire began to quickly heal up, and the missing bones and flesh were being regenerated rapidly. The cultivation technique practiced by Immortal Tai Yu focused on the balance of Yin and Yang, and cultivating one's life force. It was not a technique good in fighting or killing, but on the contrary, it was one of the best technique to recuperate fleshly body and heal the sick.
Upon noticing the serious condition of his grand-disciple, Immortal Tai Yu split one single thread of his life essence without the slightest hesitation and injected it into the disciple's body to help him recover. As it was the life essence of a Thirtieth Tier Heaven Immortal, although it was only a single thread, it was almost equal to all the life force of the white-faced Daoist. With that, his injury was naturally healing up at an incredible speed, and he was able to return to his peak form in just a very brief moment. In fact, his condition was even better than before he was wounded.
Right after his injury was fully healed, the white-faced Daoist sprung to his feet and hugged Immortal Tai Yu's leg as he cried out miserably, "Grand-Master, please back me up here! They have just swallowed my disciples alive! They ate my disciples! And, they even seriously wounded me, and are getting ready to eat me as well!"
Immortal Tai Yu narrowed his not-so-big and dimmed eyes, which brought a deeper look of confusion to his youthful face. He gave a cold snort, but when that combined with his dimmed glance it just did not feel as aggressive as it should be. Then, he scanned Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le with his eyes, before talking again coldly, "Yuan Hua Sect prohibits any disciple from attacking and hurting each other. This is the number one rule in the sect!"
Wu Qi pulled Peppermint's little hand and made her take two steps forward, then turned her around and showed her back full of scars to Immortal Tai Yu. "Please have a look at her, Grand Uncle-Master. Since you mentioned that it is prohibited for any disciples to attack and hurt their fellow disciples in the sect, can you tell me who did such cruel thing to them?"
Looking at Peppermint's horribly mangled back, Immortal Tai Yu was aghast. As he spun and gave the white-faced Daoist a fierce glare, he gave the latter a brutal slap in the face. A seemingly endless force exploded within the white-faced Daoist's body, ripping and tearing his bones and flesh to shreds as blood splattered in all directions. The slap had returned him the same look as after being severely wounded by the explosion of wind and flame just now, while throwing him into an even more serious condition, making him look even more miserable.
Immortal Tai Yu sighed lightly and said with a nod, "It is my fault for not disciplining my disciples properly, which caused them to perform such an awful deed. Nevertheless, their mistake of torturing innocent fellow disciples will be seriously punished by the sect's rule. Yet, how could you be so cruel as to eat two fellow disciples alive? You are too impudent!" By wounding his own disciple, Immortal Tai Yu showed them that he was being fair in handling the matter, and he immediately followed that by questioning Wu Qi's overly ruthless approach in treating others. Evidently, he was a man with extraordinary measures.
But, it was a pity that he was not facing those cultivators who acted according to the custom and law; he was facing Wu Qi now!
Wu Qi rolled his eyes and said with a cold grin, "Why can't we? Both Peppermint and Angelica have excellent latent potential. Compared to them, the two disciples we ate are just useless rascals who are no better than pigs and dogs! Since two outstanding disciples are whipped for no apparent reasons, it is logical to have the two rascals pay the price of their crime with their own lives! Does the value of a jade equal that of rubble?"
Immortal Tai Yu was transfixed by the question. At last, he pointed at the white-faced Daoist and said coldly, "How about...?"
Wu Qi interrupted with a sneer, "This fellow is merely a clay pot. How could he be compared to a brilliant pearl and precious jade?"
After a moment of silence, Immortal Tai Yu shook his head and smiled wryly. Pointing at the nervous Peppermint and Angelica, he said, "Although they have excellent latent potential, it doesn't mean they will have great achievements in the future. But on the other hand..."
Wu Qi rudely interrupted his words once again. He took a step forward and pulled out a folding fan from the Black Dragon Spirit Ring, flung it open and waved it a few times. Then, he asked coldly, "Grand Uncle-Master Tai Yu, are there any outstanding members in your own clan?"
Tai Yu nodded reflexively. Even as he was about to say something, Wu Qi spoke before him, "May I make bold to suggest that all the outstanding members of your clan would come to a premature end? Even if they do not die young, they would not have any notable achievements in their cultivation. And, if some of them form their Nascent Soul and Nascent Divinity, they would be murdered by someone and die miserably?" Pausing for a brief moment, Wu Qi grinned coldly at Immortal Tai Yu, whose face turned unsightly, and said, "Do you feel happy when I say that?"
Immortal Tai Yu widened his once narrowed, small eyes. As the dimmed look in his eyes disappeared completely, he straightened his back slowly. Like an unsheathed sharp sword, he emitted a bright gleam that would send a chill down one's spine. In a sternly cool voice, he said, "Wu Qi, you've gone too far by saying that! Tai Yu doesn't have any ill feeling against you, so why should you curse Tai Yu's juniors?"
Holding Peppermint and Angelica's hands, Princess Zhang Le took a step forward and said coldly, "Then why should Grand Uncle-Master curse Peppermint and Angelica, the two innocent little girls? Could it be said that those juniors of Grand Uncle-Master are humans, but Peppermint and Angelica should be damned?"
Princess Zhang Le raised her head proudly and said, "What Zi Xuan and Wu Qi ask for is a fair treatment. If Grand Uncle-Master can treat everyone fairly, Zi Xuan and Wu Qi will obey whatever you tell us to do. If you can't do that, please don't blame us for not giving Grand Uncle-Master any face."
Princess Zhang Le's aggressive retort immediately rendered Immortal Tai Yu speechless. After a full fifteen minutes, only then he laughed bitterly and said, "You juniors... Hehe… Aren't you afraid that I'll repress you with force? Wu Qi, Zi Xuan, Xiansheng, Catfish, even with the joined forces of you four, there is no way you can defend against one casual attack from me. If I execute you with the charge of deceiving the Master and seniors, trying to throw a rebellion against the sect..."
Not giving any impression of weakness, Wu Qi took a step forward and cried out sternly, "We are at the base of Yuan Hua Sect. Could Grand Uncle-Master do something without being noticed by anyone else? Besides, although Grand Uncle-Master is a Thirtieth Tier Heaven Immortal, as you are suffering a serious injury now, your overall strength is at most equal to a Thirty-Fifth Tier Heaven Immortal. Please pardon my boldness... but a Heaven Immortal with such cultivation base is nothing in my eyes!"
Wu Qi's bold statement made Immortal Tai Yu's brows twitch violently. All of a sudden, he roared with a loud laughter and said, "Excellent! This is excellent indeed! You've actually lectured me today!" Amidst the wild laughter, Immortal Tai Yu raised his right palm suddenly and thrust it towards Wu Qi. There was no strong wind, no thunderbolts, as he did not exercise any divine ability or magical power. It was a palm strike thrust out purely with muscle strength.
Wu Qi gave a wild screech as golden patterns of dragon scales suddenly appeared blinking on his skin. Muffled popping and cracking noises could be heard coming from all the joints in his body, as he abruptly grew taller by one-feet, while his muscles expanded a few times larger. He exercised the technique of the third transformation of Flood Dragon, and a mighty force began to rock and roll within his body. He issued a deep, long screech, while punching his fist forward and greeting upon Immortal Tai Yu's palm.
A loud boom rang out. Without having any of the forces leaked, Wu Qi and Immortal Tai Yu exchanged an attack head-on. Neither of them used any divine ability or magical power, as it was a pure collision of fleshly bodies and muscle strength. Wu Qi's body trembled as his Daoist robe turned into dust and drifted away in the air. On the other side, Immortal Tai Yu's fair face was flushed red as he swayed a little, before taking three steps back uncontrollably.
Right in the middle of Immortal Tai Yu's once fair as jade palm, there was a red fist mark sunk nearly half an inch deep. It nearly pierced his palm.
He took a deep breath and cried out shockingly, "Dragon clan's body tempering technique? Wu Qi, you actually cultivate both soul and fleshly body? Also, how could the strength of your fleshly body be comparable to my immortal body, which I've arduously cultivated for several millions of years? Even though I just focused in cultivating my Nascent Divinity and not my fleshly body, but having it tempered with immortal energies for so many years, the strength of my immortal body is more than enough to topple mountains and overturn seas! How is it possible that your fleshly body could be compared to an immortal body?"
Wu Qi gave him a faint smile and did not explain. He had completed the cultivation of Three Transformations of Flood Dragon, which had given him a fleshly body several times stronger than those peak-stage Nascent Divinity cultivators who focused on tempering their bodies. Therefore, he was able to fight head-on against a Thirty-Sixth Tier Heaven Immortal who focused on body tempering technique. As Immortal Tai Yu only focused on refining his immortal soul, and cultivating the Dharmic Dao and divine abilities, although he did have a decently strong immortal body, there was no way he could compare with Wu Qi.
In addition to that, after absorbing so many blood crystals of Heaven Immortals, the toughness of Wu Qi's fleshly body could no longer be judged with common sense.
Moreover, Wu Qi was cultivating an Innate cultivation technique, which turned all the energies flowing in his body into innate energies. It was a known fact that innate energies were best in building a strong foundation and a solid source. The innate energy of Earth could strengthen one's fleshly body, the innate energy of wood could grow one's vitality, the innate energy of water could make one's fleshly body extra pliable and tough, the innate energy of fire could improve the explosive force of one's fleshly body, and the innate energy of gold could increase the offensive strength of fleshly body. As a result, although Wu Qi still possessed the fleshly body of a cultivator, with the innate energies of five elements, he was able to fight against the immortal body of Heaven Immortal.
After pushing back Immortal Tai Yu with one punch, Wu Qi extended one of his hands and patted on the Black Dragon Spirit Ring. Immediately, the black dragon soul flew out, opening its big mouth as it issued a furious roar at Immortal Tai Yu. "I am lucky enough to find this ring with the soul of a Heavenly Dragon, and yes, it is the Dragon Transformation Script of Dragon clan that I am cultivating!" said Wu Qi coolly.
Upon hearing that Wu Qi was cultivating the Dragon Transformation Script, the secret technique of Dragon clan which was famous in the entire universe for their formidable fleshly bodies, Immortal Tai Yu immediately shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Well, it seems like those few good-for-nothing disciples of mine brought me into a nasty situation. Hehe, what a disgrace, I can't be more disgraced than this!"
Then, with a powerful wave of his right hand, the body of the white-faced Daoist shattered with a boom. Immortal Tai Yu caught his Nascent Soul, and with a casual toss, he was thrown several thousands of miles away to the outside of Yuan Hua Sect's main entrance. "Yuan Yu, you've failed in teaching your disciples, causing them to act wickedly in the sect and bullying newly promoted disciples. Go to the Heart Cleaning Pool at the back mountain, face the wall, and ponder over your mistake for three years!"
He paused for a brief moment, then continued in a cold voice, "Senior Brother Min, White Sparrow is not suitable to be the Palace Master of Spirit Herbs Palace. Tai Yu is not capable of disciplining him, so please ask him to seek another position in the sect!"
With a flick of his sleeve, a cloud emerged underneath Immortal Tai Yu's feet. Then, he rode the cloud and flew straight towards the 'Da Zhuo Peak' in a leisurely manner, the mountain peak that belonged to Daoist Chi!
This was a declaration of his stand. Immortal Tai Yu did not give any face to Daoist Min as he simply switched camp over to Daoist Chi. Not only that, he even took the opportunity to pay a visit at Da Zhuo Peak, an undisguised showing of his stand. By punishing his own disciple and paying a visit to Daoist Chi, Immortal Tai Yu evidently had decided to stand together with Daoist Chi's faction, giving up to be on intimate terms with Daoist Min's faction.
Wu Qi breathed out a heavy sigh of relief. A series of loud cracking rang out from his joints as he stopped exercising the Dragon Transformation Script.
The several tens of divine will that lingered in the surrounding void began to retreat like fishes. Among them, a divine will suddenly spread out into all directions. It belonged to Patriarch Yuan Hua, and soon after, everyone in Yuan Hua Sect heard his voice.
"From today onwards, the disciples of Green Wood Peak: Wu Qi, Zi Xuan, Xiansheng, and Catfish, will be the fifth generation Chief Disciples of Yuan Hua Sect. They will have the rights to supervise all fellow disciples. This is an order from me!"
Cracking noises could be heard coming from the joints in Wu Qi's right arm as he slowly spread out the painful and numb palm.
He did it right by showing his overall strength appropriately! From today onwards, Wu Qi had become the most powerful man below the realm of Heaven Immortals in Yuan Hua Sect!

José Cobo - 5 october / 18 november 2017
5 october / 18 november 2017
José Cobo was born in 1958 in Santander, Spain. He studied at Facultad de Bellas Artes San Fernando in Madrid and also at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Cobo's work derives from a fascination with the human condition. His sculptures refer to the innocence and infinite wonder of birth, adolescence, life, love, declining years and death.
He creates his figures from bronze to cast glass and in recent years he works with epoxy resin. José Cobo 's works were represented at several art fairs in Europe (Arco Madrid, Art Cologne, Art Brussels, Arte Fiera Bologna, Kunst 12 Zürich) and in the United States (Pulse Art Fair NY and Art Chicago). His art has also been exhibited in the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza and in Kalamazoo Institute of Art in Michigan.

Ine Lammers - 22 november / 30 december 2017
Ine Lammers
22 november / 30 december 2017
A painting does not only portray reality, it tells a story. When artist Ine Lammers also desires to distort, a dream world is created with its own reality and its own logic. Vulnerability and sensuality are emotions that rush the spectator and leave an overwhelming impression. The poetry in her work refuses to be caught, it catches.
A search fort the soul, not just for the spectator but the artist as well, is the key : "You use a glass mirror to see your face , you use works of art to see your soul (G.B.Shaw)."

KRM - Chérif & Geza - 4 january / 10 february 2018
4 january / 10 february 2018
KRM is a French-German artist duo : Chérif & Geza Zerdoumi. Their concept "L'esprit du mur" is a rebel and urban art, based on human tragedy and the complexity of existence. Working with four hands on the same piece, the confrontation of overlapping images, impulsive gests and words challenge the viewer.
The assembly of colour and emotions fire together. Emotions such as hidden tenderness and humour; humour that works and humour that hurts. There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy.
And then there is movement : one of the delights of experiencing such artwork is the element of change and surprise. It is as if every time we look at it, we see a new artwork.

Stefan Yordanov - 15 february / 25 march 2018
15 february / 25 march 2018
Stefan Yordanov (1972) was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (1990-1994) and at the Amsterdam School of Art (1995-1997), both in Amsterdam.
Yordanov experiments in a broad range of artistic mediums : drawing, collage, interactive objects, site-specific installations and most recently : light sculptures. In these sculptures he uses light which is the source of life. He creates a symbiosis between technology and nature, between life and death.

Marcin Owczarek - 15 february / 25 march 2018
Marcin Owczarek
Marcin Owczarek was born in 1985 in Wroclaw, Poland. He lives and works in Belgium. Owczarek's work focuses on the condition of our globe and the condition of man. He uses photography and collage to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, dreams, the unconscious, morals, social situations, behaviours, habits, rituals, biological changes- which have significant impact on human life. To observe. To document. As a result, he creates the image of the 21 century and the image of our current society filled with allusions, metaphors, allegories.
Marcin Owczarek's works were represented at several art fairs in Europe (London Art Fair, PAN Amsterdam, START Art Fair at Saatchi Gallery, ART PHOTO Budapest, Rotterdam Contemporary Art Fair, Fotofever Brussels, Art Nocturne Knokke-Heist) and in South Africa (Cape Town Art Fair, FNB Johannesburg Art Fair).

Niyaz Najafov - 29 march / 6 may 2018
29 march/ 6 may 2018
Niyaz Najafov was born in 1968 in Baku, Azerbaijan. He was trained as a professional sportsman and a soldier. In 2003 he started experimenting with oil paint, influenced by other self-taught artists as Paul Gauguin and Francis Bacon.
In his paintings he shows fears and desires he carries in his heart and in his head. In order to gain both emotional and intellectual knowledge he helps us, artlovers, by painting huge impressions of,among other things, honesty and openness. He challenges us to look in the mirror. The exceptional colours and the humour in his work provide the Light. In 2009 he was chosen to represent his country at the 53rd Venice Biënnale.
Throughout Europe , in London, Paris, Moscow, Berlin and Geneva,he exhibited his expressive paintings and sculptures at prestigious fairs and exhibitions.
Frans Smit - 24 may / 30 june 2018
24 may / 30 june 2018
Frans Smit is a South African born artist that has participated in over 40 exhibitions, locally and internationally. Smit started out studying photography but soon became interested in painting . He was influenced by Lucian Freud who encouraged him to complete courses at the prestigious Saint Martin's College of Art and Design.
Smit's focus is mainly on portraiture and still life, which he blends a degree of abstract into. The oil-based artworks exhibit a natural and organic balance between the palette and used textures. His work mixes the abstract with the real and so his intent is to disrupt the traditional portrait.
2018 will be the baroque year in Antwerp : Rubens inspires! Smit is indeed inspired which we can see in the works "After Rembrandt" and "After Rubens" among others. Since 2015 he has exhibited in New York, San Francisco , Beirut, London, in South-Africa and in Denmark.
Beiron Brouwers - 30 august / 29 september 2018
30 august / 29 september 2018
Social media confront us with the darker side of humankind, as hundreds of images are projected into our eyes on a daily basis, riddled with the physical and emotional wounds of 'others': people who are made homeless in body or soul, desperately trying to find somewhere safe to belong.
Beiron Brouwers takes all of these images in, senses his way through the underlying emotions, and translates their essence onto the canvas. He sees the harshness of reality. Yet despite having witnessed and experienced it in his own life, he has learned to tap into a brighter side of the images.
We as an audience can find inspiration in this resilient way of turning harsh reality into something bearable and even beautiful, in every single painting. If we look at Brouwers' (Bergen-op- Zoom, 1972) work more closely, we see that he captures every emotion according to his perception of reality in a very subtle way. It is visible in a stain, a colour, a brush stroke and the suggestive silhouettes he paints. Brouwers deliberately chooses to portray his subjects in an unidentified way, by not outlining facial features. In a way, that reflects his ability to "zoom-out", to reflect upon everyday life as if it were a third person, an unbiased by-stander. To the viewer, it can still manage to impart an 'unheimliches Gefüll', a malaise of being alienated from the rest of society. The painting becomes a reflection of Brouwers' perception of what social media do to individuals as well. We feel touched yet disconnected.
Brouwers distances himself from the obvious and the sensational, not only in content and vision but in his technique as well. He does not use any digital trick or tool, nor does he use multiple layers built of thickly applied oil paint, as many Classical painters used to do in order to create a visible structure in their paintings. On the contrary, Brouwers creates the optical illusion of a third dimension or structure by simple, elegant strokes.
Eduard Van Giel - 5 october / 17 november 2018
Eduard Van Giel, born in 1945 is an artist, designer, and autodidact. Influenced by the likes of Ensor, Duchamp, Beuys, Polke, Kippenberger, and Warhol, he creates his own productions/works which include Originals, Multiples, Photographs and Graphical Products.
The story of his life is akin to the adrenaline rush experienced in a rollercoaster ride. It is a ride that travels from great heights to deep abysses. According to Goethe, art and anarchy have long since entertained a special relationship: "whether in science or art, it is the anarchy that has to drive us out of the wide and into the narrow, out of discord into harmony". Van Giel, deeply drawn to that anarchy, succeeds in expressing himself time and again through his art. He survives a shipwreck, he kicks an addiction and overcomes a tragedy within his family. After a sojourn of several years in Greece, he returns to Antwerp. But he has kept producing and his works can be seen all around the world, distributed via art fairs and several exhibitions in - amongst others - Los Angeles, Paris, and Amsterdam.
He has designed leather coats under the 'Dolce Guevara' label, he has created an erotic bronze sculpture which has been recreated in porcelain by Studio Piet Stockmans, he develops light installations, and he has cooperated in graffiti and film projects. A colourful and intriguing artistic experience awaits the visitor of this exhibition.
Greg Van Staey - 29 november 2018 / 20 january 2019
29 november 2018 / 20 january 2019
My ideas mainly include social and ecological themes. However, they are not the essence of the artwork. The focus is on translating an idea into a visual work. From a personal concern I register them, I use them as a starting point. Not necessarily as a definite end result for my practice. The themes are motives for processing thoughts within painting. Current issues from our society that we cannot ignore are recorded.
I want to indirectly suggest these topics with plenty of room for personal interpretation. In addition to a visual exercise, the paintings become a reflection exercise for the viewer and for myself. The viewer is invited to think about the image and the content, to dream away in the image to see what it means.
By abstracting and striving for alienation, I push the works to a stage on the edge of recognizable versus barely not recognizable. This gives the works a multi-interpretable meaning. The dialogue between the work and the viewer begins.
Sammy Slabbinck - 3 february 2019 / 17 march 2019
3 february 2019 / 17 march 2019
Sammy Slabbinck is a collage artist from Bruges. He turns this art form into his own contemporary version with footage from the 50s and 60s. In his collages with cut-outs from books and encyclopedias, but especially from vintage magazines such as Playboy and Paris Match, Sammy creates works with surreal images full of humor. The colors of these images are faded and warm - they have a soul.
He designed the cover of Leonard Cohen's very last record, "You want it darker". This has led to a lot of international attention in "The New Yorker" as well as "The Telegraph" and "Der Spiegel". Soon, two existing collages will grace a brand new building in Miami.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' iconic album "The White Album", Studio Brussels asked Sammy Slabbinck to make an alternative cover of this album. When making collages, you always come across images that go in all kinds of directions, he explains. Subtle but fast, intelligent and satirical, sentimental but also challengingly modern. He is the composer of an absurd universe with a new poetic harmony.
Joris De Geest - 28 march 2019 / 4 may 2019
28 march 2019 / 4 may 2019
Joris De Geest has created an extensive oeuvre since the beginning of the seventies. A predominantly figurative oeuvre, with the focus on the human figure, but where the obsession of painting attacks the images, as it were. What is striking about the successive thematic series is that the works are never unambiguous. The painter is only too happy to build in double bottoms and cultivates the use of antitheses.*
*From 'The obsession of painting' by Florent Bex.
As an active humanist Joris De Geest expresses his concern about the way man is treating nature- and consequently himself. His eco-pessimism does not lead him to immobilism. He discerns reason to hope. It is the artist's mission to depict this hope.*
*From 'Decoding art history' by Em. Prof. Dr. Willem Elias
Adriaan Marin - 5 september 2019 / 5 october 2019
5 september 2019 / 5 october 2019
Adriaan Marin tells his personal stories in an inimitable way. His world is teeming with fantastic creatures that mingle with his interpretation of reality. Adriaan is not looking for any style or contemporary trend but does what he has to do from an inner urge. The chaos of the present is told as it bubbles up in his mind. He reasons, as it were, his images together.
Enjoying to work out this world in every detail, he therefore prefers the finesse of etching. This creates images that are reminiscent of a mixture between Breugel and Bosch, but the image elements and distortions give all this a very personal twist.
He understands the art of storytelling to such an extent that the chaos of the first glance is still given an organic order. The correct use of primary and secondary storylines creates a game that immerses the viewer in his world and takes him into Adriaan's amazement - Professor Peter Bosteels
Ileana Mariotto - 10 october 2019 / 16 november 2019
10 october 2019 / 16 november 2019
Ileana Mariotto is a portrait collage artist born in Caracas in 1972, who currently lives in Antwerp, Belgium. She studied industrial design in Venezuela and New York. After working as an art director for advertising in Venezuela, she moved to her father's motherland of Italy, to work in the fashion industry. There, she immersed herself in the creative process and built a career as a product designer, then as a respected art director at fashion shows and live events. Enriched by these experiences, she decided to step up from behind the scene and launch her own clothing line, Una Semplice Cosa, bringing to light her artistic talent and vision.
Striving to explore her creative talent, Ileana started experimenting with paper until she developed her original collage technique on canvas, exclusively using existing material such as fashion and decoration magazines, vintage newspapers and magazines, music posters etc. Since 2014, she focuses exclusively on art collages, specialising in rich and vibrant portraits bursting with her passion for life and her strong sensibility of personal emotions. Ileana presented her first collection, "The Icons" at the GMAC, Grand Marche d'Art Contemporain, in Paris in May 2016. More recently Ileana has been working on a collection based on "fortuitous little encounters along the road of our travels" with beautiful portraits of 'normal' people she met in China, Ecuador and India. Each trip opens a new world, each face tells a different story. Next to these collections Ileana has made numerous commissioned portraits. Throughout Ileana's work, there is always a fascinating dialogue between the portrait itself and the material used to produce it: the personal stories for the commissioned portraits and the Icons, the local newspapers or magazines for the Little Encounters.
Burry Buermans - 24 november 2019 / 5 january 2020
24 november 2019 / 5 january 2020
As a child, Burry Buermans (1982) already dreamed of becoming an artist. He moved from Belgium to Portugal to concentrate on making his paper collages.
There are as many as 1001 ways to make collages, but you can recognize his immediately. These are highly detailed hand-carved images in the same theme, which he then combines into an often contrasting form. It is this specific form that appeals to the viewer and immediately evokes an image. When the viewer approaches the work, the details become visible and often the surprise is complete. The whole process starts with a treasure hunt, a search in old bookstores, flea markets and book fairs. Then follows the almost meditative part. It takes a lot of time to cut out the images down to the smallest detail. At the same time, it is his way of showing respect for the original illustrator and/or photographer.
Recently, he also made 3D collages and mixed-media work with old slides, old stamps and animal skulls. Burry already had exhibitions in Lisbon and Amsterdam; in October 2019 he has a solo exhibition in Macau, China and now also in Antwerp.
Louie Mauws - 18 january 2020 / 23 february 2020
18 january 2020 / 23 february 2020
Louie Mauws is a young artist from Ghent. Mauws is a plastic thinker who expresses himself in painting and drawing. Starting from an as yet undeveloped form of intentionality, he investigates the formalistic recording. Not the registration, but the discovery, not the justification, but the questioning is central. He tries to distance himself from external conditioning and over-influencing. Louie Mauws searches for a preserved space where, without any predetermined goal, the beginning can take place. He chooses the act of painting in order to deal with one material and another. His starting point is an uncontrollability in which the painting begins to lead a life of its own. While painting, he creates both abstract signs and figurative forms, to which he responds each time by painting. In his first act, everything is brought into the open, whereby the medium makes it possible to correct his wrong action.
Yuna Lucas - 18 january 2020 / 23 february 2020
Yuna Lucas is a young artist, born in 1995, who graduated as "Master of Free Visual Arts" in 2017 at LUCA "School of Arts", Ghent, Campus Sint-Lucas. She lives and works in Ghent. Yuna uses different materials, mainly oil paint, but also charcoal and chalk, to often make large compositions on canvas. With her (own) visual language, based on different elements, she creates an image or builds a story, layer by layer. She starts from memories that often go back to experiences from her youth, landscapes and landscape elements, which are or were accompanied by certain emotions. Every form, line and colour are defined in values in order to build up her paintings and spatial work, from the contrast between the rural landscape - in which she grew up - and landscape aspects of the city. It is a constant search and groping without making it easy, using the medium to investigate or express something, to confront it. The image must be balanced, but the content must not be lost. The landscape is a continuous source of inspiration, because it is rich in colours, matter, layers and shapes. She also asks herself the question, do I belong in this landscape or do I penetrate it? She reinterprets nature by deforming, kneading, working with different materials, using lines to demarcate and create within a framework. By bringing pieces together as in a puzzle she tries to get a grasp of her many question marks about the image and its perception, a true quest hidden in the process. The use of colour and the simple but carefully placed elements give her works a youthful freshness.
Annemarie Terlage - 1 march 2020 / 4 april 2020
This Dutch artist from The Hague searches in her paintings for a way to shape the landscape.
The themes that recur in her work are Freedom, the Way and the Unknown.
Annemarie often paints deserted areas, but everywhere you feel the remnants of human presence. We are also struck by the insignificance of this human presence in the face of sometimes overwhelming nature.
The properties of the materials she uses, such as acrylic, epoxy, wood and canvas, play an important role. A small hidden story seems to be hidden in every work of art.

Jason Segel mines drama for comedy with 'Shrinking' for Apple TV+
posted on Jan. 22, 2023 at 5:33 am
What happens when the therapist decides to really say what they think to the patient?
That's the springboard for "Shrinking," Jason Segel's new AppleTV+ series What might be farcical comedy actually strikes a more melancholy chord.
Segel credits Bret Goldstein, who shares creator and writer credits with him, with "An idea for a show about a therapist continuing to practice therapy while going through a nervous breakdown. That's where it started.
"Where it evolved" Segel, 43, continued in a Zoom interview, "were these discussions about how over the past few years, we all have a sense of grief and loss. Whether we literally lost somebody or just the loss of normalcy that we all went through having our lives pulled away from us for so long, there's a lot we haven't processed.
"So watching somebody at rock bottom, trying to find their way out with the help of their friends and maybe by helping others, we might be able to help ourselves, this seemed like a really beautiful concept."
He thought, "If I have a superpower, I can make scrambling desperation funny because the best comedy is where you take it.
"Judd Apatow," he said of the veteran producer and director, "taught me this when I was young, when I was writing 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' I asked for advice and his advice was, 'Write a drama. It is going to be funny by nature the way your brain works. That's not going to be the hard part. And if it's not funny enough, we can layer jokes on top of it. But the thing that will keep people invested is that you write a drama.'
"And that's been true. Everything I've tried to do is first, I try to find the truth and the drama in it, and then I try to make it funny.
"Sometimes," he's discovered, "you don't even have to try that hard because life is so weird and funny."
Neither funny nor weird but still amazing is Harrison Ford as a colleague. How did that happen?
"Honest to God dumb luck. I don't really know how to explain it. We offered this to Harrison Ford, assuming he would say no. And then he said yes. And the next thing you know, you're scrambling to figure out what to do when Harrison Ford arrives. And what you do is write the funniest part possible.
"He has a mentality which is, 'I'm here to work.' He said to me at one point, 'My goal at the end of every job is that the people who hired me are happy.'"
And are they ever!

Time to seek co-parent counseling


Then this house is a great option.
It is a 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 6000 square foot house on a 100 x 437 foot lot at 81 Binscarth Road in north Rosedale.
That was initially listed at $28,000,000 before the price was dropped 5 months later to $22,900,000.
This house is listed at $8,400,000.
Then this doesn't seem like a crazy price.
It's not quite as grand, but with a full reno and maybe an addition, this would be an incredible family house.
The interior is very versatile as it offers many rooms which can accommodate a growing family or a family who has staff.
Then this is a great option in a private location.

Selina Jen's legs are 'completely destroyed'
categories: asian entertainment news, chinese entertainment, s.h.e, selina jen
Source : xinmsn.com
Taiwanese singer Selina Jen's fiancé Richard Chang broke his silence for the first time since the on-set accident that left Selina severely burnt.
He recently appeared on the talk show Shen Chun Hua Life Show. During the interview, he broke down many times.
Richard spoke about the time when he first learnt about Selina's accident.
"[The production crew] carelessly lit the fire when they were filming the explosion scene. There was no water on set, no body double, no rehearsals [done beforehand] and no firemen [around]. Selina was very scared, but she didn't dare say," he recalled.
Richard choked and sobbed when he spoke about Selina's severely burnt legs, due to delayed treatment. He revealed that apart from Selina's feet and toes, "all other parts of her legs are completely destroyed".
Richard expressed that after the accident, Selina did not blame the production crew. Instead, the singer blamed herself for not telling anyone her fears and for running too slowly.
However, Richard felt that Selina did no wrong. He revealed that he had already acquired 80 per cent of evidence required to fight his case and swore to see justice done to his fiancée.

For the latest information about developments related to Form 3520-A and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/Form3520A.
Form 3520-A is the annual information return of a foreign trust with at least one U.S. owner. The form provides information about the foreign trust, its U.S. beneficiaries, and any U.S. person who is treated as an owner of any portion of the foreign trust under the grantor trust rules (sections 671 through 679).
A foreign trust with a U.S. owner must file Form 3520-A in order for the U.S. owner to satisfy its annual information reporting requirements under section 6048(b). Each U.S. person treated as an owner of any portion of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules (sections 671 through 679) is responsible for ensuring that the foreign trust files Form 3520-A and furnishes the required annual statements to its U.S. owners and U.S. beneficiaries. If a foreign trust fails to file Form 3520-A, the U.S. owner must complete and attach a substitute Form 3520-A for the foreign trust to the U.S. owner's Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Transactions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts. See Part II, line 22, of the Instructions for Form 3520. Otherwise, the U.S. owner may be liable for a penalty. See Penalties, later.
Custodians of Canadian registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) and Canadian registered retirement income funds (RRIFs) are not required to file Form 3520-A with respect to a U.S. citizen or resident alien who holds an interest in an RRSP or RRIF. In addition, custodians of any other Canadian retirement plan within the meaning of section 3 of Rev. Proc. 2014-55 are not required to file Form 3520-A for a U.S. citizen or resident alien owner or beneficiary. See Rev. Proc. 2014-55, 2014-44 I.R.B. 753, available at IRS.gov/irb/2014-44_IRB/ar10.html.
File a complete Form 3520-A (including the statements on pages 3 through 5) with the Internal Revenue Service Center, P.O. Box 409101, Ogden, UT 84409, by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the trust's tax year. Give copies of the Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement (pages 3 and 4 of Form 3520-A) and the Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement (page 5 of Form 3520-A) to the U.S. owners and U.S. beneficiaries by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the trust's tax year.
An extension of time to file Form 3520-A (including the statements on pages 3 through 5) may be granted by filing Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns. For details, see Form 7004.
An extension of time to file an income tax return will not provide an extension of time to file Form 3520-A. Form 7004 must be filed in order to request an extension of time to file Form 3520-A.
A corporation, it must be signed and dated by the president, vice president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, chief accounting officer, or any other corporate officer (such as a tax officer) authorized to sign.
The U.S. owner is subject to an initial penalty equal to the greater of $10,000 or 5% of the gross value of the portion of the trust's assets treated as owned by the U.S. person at the close of that tax year, if the foreign trust (a) fails to file a timely Form 3520-A, or (b) does not furnish all of the information required by section 6048(b) or includes incorrect information. See section 6677(a) through (c).
The U.S. owner is subject to an additional separate penalty equal to the greater of $10,000 or 5% of the gross value of the portion of the trust's assets treated as owned by the U.S. person at the close of that tax year, if the U.S. owner (a) fails to file a timely Form 3520 (Part II), or (b) fails to furnish all of the information required by section 6048(b) or includes incorrect information. See section 6677(a) through (c) and the Instructions for Form 3520.
Penalties also may be imposed under section 6662(j) for undisclosed foreign financial asset understatements.
A distribution for section 6048(c) reporting purposes is any gratuitous transfer of money or other property from a trust, whether or not the trust is treated as a grantor trust under the grantor trust rules (sections 671 through 679), and without regard to whether the recipient is designated as a beneficiary by the terms of the trust. A distribution includes the receipt of trust corpus and the receipt of a gift or bequest described in section 663(a).
A distribution also includes constructive transfers from a trust. For example, if charges you make on a credit card are paid by a foreign trust or guaranteed or secured by the assets of a foreign trust, the amount charged will be treated as a distribution to you by the foreign trust. Similarly, if you write checks on a foreign trust's bank account, the amount will be treated as a distribution. See section V of Notice 97-34, 1997-25 I.R.B. 22. Also, if you receive a payment from a foreign trust in exchange for property transferred to the trust or services rendered to the trust, and the fair market value (FMV) of the payment you received exceeds the FMV of the property transferred or services rendered, the excess will be treated as a distribution to you. See section V of Notice 97-34, 1997-25 I.R.B. 22.
If a partnership or corporation makes a gratuitous transfer to a trust, the partners or shareholders generally are treated as the grantors of the trust, unless the partnership or corporation made the transfer for a business purpose of the partnership or corporation.
Due to changes to section 679(c) made by the HIRE Act, effective after March 18, 2010, a loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign trust with a U.S. transferor, directly or indirectly, to a U.S. person, or the use of any other trust property directly or indirectly by any U.S. person (whether or not a beneficiary under the terms of the trust) will cause a foreign trust to be treated as having a U.S. beneficiary, unless the U.S. person repays the loan at a market rate of interest or pays the FMV of the use of such property within a reasonable period of time. Thus, in the case of a foreign trust with a U.S. transferor that is treated as having a U.S. beneficiary, the foreign trust is treated as a grantor trust under the grantor trust rules.
Gross value is the value of property as determined under section 2512 and its regulations, without regard to any prohibitions or restrictions on a person's interest in the property. See section VII of Notice 97-34. Although formal appraisals generally are not required, you should keep contemporaneous records of how you arrived at your good faith estimate.
A nongrantor trust is any trust to the extent that the assets of the trust are not treated as owned by a person other than the trust. Thus, a nongrantor trust is treated as a taxable entity. A trust may be treated as a nongrantor trust with respect to only a portion of the trust assets. See Grantor Trust above.
An owner of a foreign trust is the person that is treated as owning any of the assets of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules.
A U.S. grantor, a U.S. beneficiary, or a domestic corporation controlled by the grantor or beneficiary may act as a U.S. agent. However, you may not treat the foreign trust as having a U.S. agent unless you enter the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the U.S. agent on lines 3a through 3g of Part I of the form. See Identification numbers, later.
The agency relationship must be established by the time the U.S. person files Form 3520-A for the relevant tax year and must continue as long as the statute of limitations remains open for the relevant tax year. If the agent's responsibility as an agent of the trust is terminated for any reason (for example, agent's resignation, agent's liquidation, or agent's death), see section IV(B) of Notice 97-34.
A foreign estate or trust if the estate or trust has a U.S. beneficiary.
For purposes of the general rule above, if any person has the discretion of making a distribution from the trust to, or for the benefit of any person, the trust will be treated as having a beneficiary who is a U.S. person, unless the terms of the trust specifically identify the class of persons to whom such distributions may be made, and none of those persons are U.S. persons during the tax year.
For purposes of the general rule above, if any U.S. person who directly or indirectly transfers property to the trust is directly or indirectly involved in any agreement or understanding (whether written, oral, or otherwise) that may result in the income or corpus of the trust being paid or accumulated to or for the benefit of a U.S. person, such agreement or understanding will be treated as a term of the trust.
A U.S. person uses property that is owned by the foreign trust and does not pay FMV of the use of such property within a reasonable period of time.
If this is the foreign trust's first return, check the "Initial return" box.
If the foreign trust ceases to exist, check the "Final return" box.
If this Form 3520-A is filed to amend a Form 3520-A that you previously filed, check the "Amended return" box.
Check the box only if a U.S. person treated as the owner of any portion of the trust under the grantor trust rules also files Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, for the tax year and includes this form in the total number of Forms 3520-A reported on line 2 of Part IV, Excepted Specified Foreign Financial Assets, of Form 8938. For more information, see the Instructions for Form 8938, generally, and in particular, "Duplicative Reporting" and the specific instructions for Part IV, Excepted Foreign Financial Assets.
Do not enter a preparer tax identification number (PTIN) in any entry space on Form 3520-A other than the entry space for "PTIN" at the bottom of page 1 of the form.
A reference ID number is required on line 1b(2) only in cases where no EIN was entered for the foreign trust on line 1b(1). However, filers are permitted to enter both an EIN on line 1b(1) and a reference ID number on line 1b(2). If applicable, enter the reference ID number (defined below) you have assigned to the foreign trust.
A "reference ID number" for Form 3520-A purposes is a number established with respect to the foreign trust by or on behalf of the U.S. owner of the foreign trust for which Form 3520-A reporting is required. This number is used to uniquely identify the foreign trust treated as owned by a U.S. person in order to keep track of the trust from tax year to tax year. The reference ID number must meet the requirements set forth below.
Because reference ID numbers are established by or on behalf of the U.S. owner of the foreign trust filing Form 3520-A, there is no need to apply to the IRS to request a reference ID number or for permission to use these numbers.
When a reference ID number is established with respect to a foreign trust on a Form 3520-A, then the U.S. owner(s) of the foreign trust also should use that same reference ID number with respect to such foreign trust on Form 3520. In general, the reference ID number assigned to a foreign trust on Form 3520-A has relevance only on Form 3520-A and Form 3520 (and on any other form that is attached to or associated with Form 3520-A) and should not be used with respect to the foreign trust on other IRS forms.
The same reference ID number must be used consistently from tax year to tax year with respect to the foreign trust. If for any reason a reference ID number falls out of use (for example, the foreign trust is terminated and no longer exists), the reference ID number used for that foreign trust cannot be used again for another foreign trust for purposes of Form 3520-A reporting.
There are some situations that warrant correlation of a new reference ID number with a previous reference ID number when assigning a new reference ID number to a foreign trust. See the following examples.
In the case of a trust that has received assets from another trust, a Form 3520-A filer must use a reference ID number for the receiving trust which correlates the previous reference ID number for the distributed trust with the new reference ID number assigned to the receiving foreign trust.
You must correlate the reference ID numbers as follows: New reference ID number, Old reference ID number. If there is more than one old reference ID number, you must enter a space between each number. As indicated above, the length of a given reference ID number is limited to 50 characters and each number must be alphanumeric and no special characters are permitted.
If the trust did not appoint a U.S. agent, attach the following documents to Form 3520-A.
If a foreign trust with a U.S. owner does not have a U.S. agent, the IRS may determine the amounts required to be taken into account with respect to the foreign trust by the U.S. owner. See section 6048(b)(2). In order to avoid this, a U.S. owner of a foreign trust should ensure that the foreign trust appoints a U.S. person to act as the foreign trust's limited agent for purposes of applying sections 7602, 7603, and 7604 with respect to a request by the IRS to examine records or produce testimony, or a summons by the IRS for such records or testimony. Any U.S. citizen, resident alien, or domestic corporation (including a U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary of a foreign trust) may act as the U.S. agent of the trust.
In order to authorize a U.S. person to act as an agent under section 6048(b), the trust and the agent must enter into a binding agreement substantially in the format that follows. Attach a copy of the authorization to Form 3520-A.
This graphic presents the format necessary for the foreign trust to authorize a U.S. person to act as its agent under section 6048(b).
Lines detailing that the trust is authorizing the U.S agent solely for purposes of sections 7602, 7603, and 7604 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to any request to examine records or produce testimony related to the proper treatment of amounts required to be taken into account under the rules of section 6048(b)(1)(A) or to any summons for such records or testimony are followed by lines on which to enter the signature and title of the trustee, the date, and the identification number and address of the trustee; constituting the trust's authorization of the agent, and certification of authority to do so.
This is followed by lines on which to enter the signature and title of the agent, the date, and the identification number and address of the agent; constituting the agent's acceptance of the appointment to act as agent, and certification of authority to do so.
Do not enter a PTIN on the authorization form.
Attach a statement that provides the following information concerning the transfer.
Name, U.S. taxpayer identification number (if any), and country of organization or residence of the person to whom the property was transferred.
A general description of the transfer, and any broader transaction of which it forms a part, including a chronology of the transfers involved and an identification of the other parties to the transaction to the extent known.
A description of the property transferred, including the estimated FMV and the adjusted basis of the property.

Flurries of fists and kicks raining down were on the forecast for 221 Industries' ICF 26: The Perfect Storm at Four Seasons Arena on Friday night, and the approximately 1,500 mixed martial arts fans in attendance were not disappointed.
The fight card featured three professional fights, two fights where each fighter was making their MMA debut, and two amateur title fights. The title fights were highlighted by Dylin Drivdahl, who earned his third belt before he graduated high school.
The pro fights were a trio of Great Falls favorites taking on out-of-town challengers. Myles Mazurkiewicz fought Ardany Mara; Tim Welch took on Ryan Scaescz; and Sean O'Malley battled Tycen Lynn.
The pro fights kicked off with former UGF wrestler Mazurkiewicz fighting Seattle's Mara.
Mazurkiewicz had top control early in the fight but Mara managed to grab his heel. Mara ripped and twisted on his opponent's leg and finally forced Mazurkiewicz to tap in the first.
The second pro fight pitted Welch against Scaescz.
Welch landed a quick punch to Scaescz that dropped him and then rained blows down to force a referee stoppage.
"Great Falls is one of my favorite places to fight ever in the world," Welch said after his win.
The main event of the night saw O'Malley fight Lynn.
O'Malley knocked Lynn out in the second round. O'Malley's vicious left hand found Lynn and stunned him. Lynn got back to his feet but an O'Malley head kick dropped him.
The title fights started with lightweight champion Johnson Nasona defending his belt from challenger Chris Kennedy in a match that went the full five rounds.
Nasona was in control throughout. He fired kicks to Kennedy's side and head in the stand-up game and had heavy fists from top position when the fight was on the ground.
The second title fight pitted bantamweight champion Mike Ruiz against challenger Dylin Drivdahl.
Ruiz came out swinging and quickly got Drivdahl on the ground where he was able to pepper him with fists.
Drivdahl maintained composure and waited for an opening before locking him in an arm bar and earning the win. The ICF belt marks Drivdahl's third championship belt. He also owns the 135 and 140 lb. belts in the Fightforce promotion.
The night started with an amateur bout between Greg Sierman and Eric Struchio, both making their MMA debut. Sierman landed a heavy right followed by a left that sat Struchio down and earned a stoppage by referee Leo Bercier.
The second undercard was another debut for both fighters as Dylan Schulte fought Daniel Gregory. Schulte slammed Gregory to the mat, took his opponent's back, then locked in a rear naked choke to earn the victory.
The night was dedicated to the memory of Brian Mad Plume, an MMA fighter who died over the summer. Cody Vukasin, a recently retired fighter, donated a VIP table for Mad Plume's family to watch the fights.


For day 15 of the HAWMC, WeGo Health paired up participants to guests on each other's blogs! I was very excited when I saw this prompt! I love meeting other bloggers and giving them a chance to share their story and teach us a thing or two about keeping hope in spite of illness here at A New Kind of Normal! I was paired up with Bola who blogs over at RealityNibs.com! You can also find her on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook! Please give her a warm welcome and be sure to check out her blog!
Last year at the end of the 2012 Blog Challenge, I told Wego Health that it would be nice to have a prompt which required each Health Activist to interact with other participants in some way. So, when I had the option of doing just that this year, I jumped at the opportunity. I even requested to be paired with a blogger who has fibromyalgia!
My name is Bola and I am on the verge of recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFS and Fibromyalgia are different manifestations of the same underlying condition (hypothalamic dysfunction) so I wanted to be paired with someone who was experiencing the other end of CFS/FMS. In addition to having this condition in common with Jamee, my situation was triggered by surgery for fibroid tumors which tend to occur for the same reasons as endometriosis and sometimes even occur together.
1. My intuition as well as my daily sense of my spiritual connection have been turned way up.
2. Despite my longstanding commitment to my emotional health, there are certain things I would probably have left under the rug if my health situation hadn't made the stakes higher e.g. certain truths about my childhood.
I grew up in Britain and Nigeria then settled in the San Francisco Bay Area where I've had a marketing career in Silicon Valley. Unlike Jamee, I am single and I am looking forward to building a family at a level that I would never have known how to do before the earthquake that CFS brought into my life. Actually, I'm inspired by the way that Jamee has paid attention to her family life despite her health challenges.
I literally don't know which direction I'm going to take tomorrow and I find the uncertainty challenging. But even as everything I expected to lean on has fallen away, love has come into my life in all sorts of stunning, unexpected ways. I've come to the conclusion that John Lennon really was right when he sang about love being all we need.
Thank you very much for having me here on A New Kind of Normal!
Thank you for sharing your story with us Bola! Be sure to check out her blog RealityNibs today where I will be sharing about my journey with endometriosis!
HAWMC Day 14 prompt: Thank a few of your fellow health activists for what they have done.
As I have said numerous times, words cannot express my gratitude for the support and encouragement I have found through the online health community. Through the blogging and twitter community, I have been able to meet some amazing people and develop friendships that I cherish very deeply. I continue to be inspired by fellow warriors tenacity and dedication to stay positive in spite of illness and to do everything they can to raise awareness and educate about their illnesses.
Chronically Creative: I had the opportunity to "meet" Emily several years ago and I continue to be inspired by her faith and her positive outlook on life. Her baking posts make me drool all over my keyboard so if you are really hungry, you may want to grab a snack before visiting her site! Her mission in blogging is to "live creatively in spite of illness and hope to empower and encourage you to live a creative life whatever your circumstances" which I love. She runs a Random Acts of Blogging Kindness program which is amazing and I have been personally blessed through this ministry that she has created! She truly has a heart for others and her love of Christ is evident in all that she does.
Felicia Fibro – Life with Fibromyalgia, Empowered – Felicia's blog is not only a great source of inspiration, it is a great source for resources about living a full life in spite of fibromyalgia. She has created a great list of resources for those newly diagnosed with fibro and I have referenced her blog several times for tips for traveling which are helpful for anyone with chronic illness. She is a huge advocate for fibromyalgia patients and stays on top of research and developments in treatments. She is such a source of encouragement and has helped support me through challenging moments in my journey.
Hope Whispers – I had the honor of crossing paths with Kim several years ago and she has been such a blessing. She is always quick to offer a word of comfort and support. She has Budd Chiari Syndrome which is a rare liver disorder and is currently waiting for a liver transplant. Through her story, my eyes have been opened to everything involved in the transplant process and while I have always been an organ donor, her story and her advocacy has made it more personal and that much stronger of a decision.
The Diane Story – I would not have been able to pull off this year's Blogging for Endometriosis Awareness campaign without the help of Diane! She is a huge advocate for endometriosis awareness as well as chronic illness awareness in general. She has a strong faith and shares a passion to find a way to glorify God in spite of illness!
If you were asked to pick two bloggers to be recognized for their efforts to raise awareness and advocate for chronic illness, who would you name?


Under Trump's leadership, peace in North Korea seems to be within grasp.
In recent weeks, North Korea has been open to talking with the United States and South Korea.
But with one surprise meeting, everything just changed when it comes to North Korea.
One of the big differences between former President Obama and current President Trump is that Trump follows through on his word.
When he announced that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was going to meet with Korean leaders to negotiate the release of three men held captive in North Korea, he followed through.
At the end of Pompeo's visit to North Korea, President Trump announced that he successfully negotiated their release, and that they were on their way back to the United States.
And very early Thursday morning they did return, with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence greeting them on the tarmac.
This new development truly changes everything when it comes to North Korea.
It shows that North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un is serious about cooperating with President Trump.
World leaders have commended Trump for his leadership in dealing with North Korea.
Despite so many "experts" claiming that the Presidents harsh tactics in his first year were detrimental when it comes to dealing with North Korea, they are working.
Kim Jong Un realized that Trump was not like Obama, and that he wasn't going to mess around when it comes to negotiating.
"Three American prisoners held in North Korea have been released and are en route to the U.S. after a surprise diplomatic mission by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, President Trump announced Wednesday.
Pompeo told reporters during the initial leg of the flight to Japan that he's "thrilled" to have the Americans back. Trump also said that a date and location have now been set for his meeting with Kim Jong Un, later telling reporters that it would not be at the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
Trump has made monumental strides towards peace in North Korea.
The three prisoners being released and returned to the United States prove that.
Do you think that peace could come to North Korea during Trump's presidency?

St Oswalds Church
Home » Churches » St Oswalds
St Oswald's Malpas
This ancient church is situated at the heart of the small town of Malpas. It is a fine example of medieval architecture and has witnessed to the truths of the Christian faith for over 1,000 years.
The present church probably stands on the site of the former private chapel to Malpas Castle, which was erected soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
The present building mainly dates from the middle of the fifteenth-century.
The church is very much involved in the life of the town and wider community, and has particularly strong links with the local primary school where the incumbent is one of the board of Governors.

More facts on the Church of Saint Oswald
The Church of Saint Oswald stands at the highest point of the village, near the site of a Norman motte and bailey castle. St. Oswald's is a Grade I listed building and is recognised as being one of the finest examples in England of a late 15th century church. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Malpas. Its benefice is combined with that of St John's, Threapwood and Holy Trinity, Bickerton.
The church is dedicated to St Oswald, the "Saintly King" of Northumbria who, according to the venerable Bede, was killed in battle against Pendra the heathen King of Mercia at Maserfield (near Oswestry) in 642AD.
The present church was built in the second half of the 14th century on the assumed site of an earlier church although no structure remains of that church. It was largely rebuilt above the cill level in the late 15th century with the addition of a clerestory.
St. Oswald's is built in red sandstone with lead roofs. The tower, which houses a fine set of bells, dates from the 14th century and is just over 70 feet (21 m) high with diagonal west buttresses, angled east buttresses, and a southeast octagonal turret.
The nave and chancel are crenellated. The nave ceiling is constructed with camber beams and it has bosses and carved angels.
At the eastern end of each aisle is a chantry chapel, the north chapel originally belonging to the Cholmondeley family and the south chapel to the Brereton family. At either side of the base of the Chancel are carved grotesque faces. These were the springer stones which acted as the bases of earlier arches which extended along the length of the nave.
To the east of the nave is the three-bay chancel and in the north-east corner is a vestry dating from 1717.
At the south-west corner is a porch which leads into a six-bay nave with north and south aisles.
Above the south porch is a parvise and above the doorway is a wall sundial with niches on either side. The porch is embattled, with pinnacles and gargoyles.
Within the nave is an oak and iron work chest dating from around 1250, which is a little older than the wooden misericords — the sets of carved hinged seats located near the organ.
The octagonal font is from the 15th century and it has an oak cover made in 1627.
The pews date from the 1880's, but some of the original box pews from the Brereton chapel are now at the back of the south aisle.
Above the chancel arch is a painting of St Peter's Denial of Christ by Hayman together with three pairs of hatchments belonging to the Dod family of Edge Hall, the Tarleton family formerly of Bolesworth and the Cholmondeley family of Cholmondeley Castle. The Hatchments were the coats of arms that were carried at funerals of wealthy families.
Within each chantry chapel is a tomb.
In the Brereton chapel the tomb is that of Sir Randal Brereton and his wife and is dated 1522.
The monument in the Cholmondeley chapel was erected in 1605 and represents Sir Hugh Cholmondeley and his second wife, Mary. Also in this chapel is a memorial by Westmacott to Lady Cholmondeley who died in 1815.
In the chancel is a memorial tablet by Edward Hilton to Charles Wolley Dod who died in 1904 .
In the nave is a slab to Urian Davenport, rector of Malpas who died in 1495. In the south aisle are tablets to John Stockton who died in 1700 and Bridget Kynaston who died in 1644. In the north aisle is a memorial by Edwards & Co. of Wrexham to Lt. Col. Henry Tarleton who died in 1820.
On the south side of the chancel is a triple sedilia and a piscina. The altar piece was presented by a Mr Drake in 1721.
Against the south wall of the chancel are three 15th century stalls with misericords.
Most of the stained glass is Victorian but Flemish roundels, which came from Cholmondeley Castle, date from 16th and 17th Centuries.
Also present are several panels dating from the 16th century and many Netherlandish medallions dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The stained glass includes a panel in the north chapel dating from around 1500 depicting the Presentation in the Temple.
One window by Kempe in the south aisle is dated 1902. The east window is a memorial to Bishop Heber who was born in the town.
From the sanctuary, a staircase leads down to a vaulted crypt below the altar which was formerly a treasury.
The church plate includes a chalice dated 1674 and two silver patens of 1742.
The parish registers date from 1561 and the churchwardens' accounts from 1653.
The ring consists of eight bells. Four of these were cast by John Rudhall in 1802, and the other four were by John Taylor & Co, two of these being dated 1908 and the other two in 1914.
Parts of the churchyard wall are listed Grade II.
Within the churchyard are a number of items listed Grade II, namely, a table tomb dedicated to members of the Duncall family, the tomb of John Bassett, a headstone to the Hobley family and a sandstone sundial pedestal dating probably from the early 18th century.
Listed Grade II* are the gate piers and steps at the south-west corner of the churchyard and the gates, gate piers and steps at south-east corner of churchyard. They were originally made for Oulton Park in the 1720s at the time of John Vanbrugh's work there. They were moved to Malpas churchyard around 1773. The gate piers and steps to the west gateway to the churchyard are listed Grade II as are the gate piers and steps to a small gateway at the southeast corner of the churchyard.
Building Extensions and Restoration Works
In the 1490's, the height of the church was increased. A clerestory (the high windows illuminating the nave) and a camber roof beam was constructed to replace the earlier pitched roof. The original position of this earlier roof can still be seen from inside the church, on the walls above the arches leading into the chancel and into the tower.
The font dating from the 1400's with its wooden cover dated at 1627 was restored in the mid twentieth century.
In the 1960's the roof was restored and many of the bosses and Angles were repainted and regilded.
The two-manual organ was built in 1897 by Lewis & Co Ltd, overhauled around 1962 by Rushworth and Dreaper and restored by Peter Collins Limited in 2001.
The most recent large vital repair work was in 2011, when the re-leading of the main roof cost in excess of £150,000.
In common with many other medieval churches of the time, St. Oswald's has a number of gargoyles and grotesques. The difference between the two, architecturally speaking, is a gargoyle has a practical purpose, being a device to throw water away from the building, often through it's mouth; whereas a grotesque, or chimera, simply serves as ornamentation.
Past Links
In the Brereton side chapel one of their children, William is depicted at the base of his parent's memorial. When he grew up he attended the court of King Henry VIII and was tortured and executed for his (supposed) romance with the Queen — Anne Boleyn.
The painting by Francis Hayman, located above the chancel arch shows St Peter's denial of Christ. In 1768, Hayman was a founding member of the Royal academy and counted William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds and the composer Handel among his friends.
The window above the Altar depicts the life of Bishop Heber, who was born in Malpas Rectory. He was a great hymn writer (Holy, Holy, Holy, Brightest and Best are the sons of the Morning) and eventually became Bishop of Calcutta. He died just 43.
