Peter Young: A Chronology of the Work
PETER YOUNG WAS BORN January 2, 1940 in Pittsburgh, grew up in Los Angeles, studied at Pomona College for two years, and came to New York in 1960.1 After working for two or three months at the Art Students League under Stephen Greene and Theodoros Stamos, he entered York University as an art history student and was graduated in 1963. All the hours he spent there looking at slides were extremely important for his own development as an artist. Throughout his college career instead of taking notes, he made drawings—not of works reproduced on the screen, but his own inventions. Reminiscent of Gorky in the animate shapes playing around a horizontal line, the tension between organic and geometric also bespeaks de Kooning.
During his student days, Young had painted very little; it was only in 1963 that he began to think of himself seriously as a painter. After some work with the figure, which he soon found held no real interest for him, he started an alphabet of abstract paintings, one for each letter. The "E" picture (which he has recently destroyed along with most of his other early paintings) was almost entirely covered with earth red and brown dots, which he recalls were partly inspired by the mud tattoos on the face of an African woman; this and a few other all-over paintings, which he conceived of as illustrations to Sartre's The Room, were his earliest pieces, employing, in part, the dot technique with which he has since become commonly identified. Most of the 1963 paintings are close in character to primitive art, which still continues to affect him deeply. A particularly telling example of that type is divided into four horizontal registers, each with a strip of dots at top and bottom and each with two or three vertically divided compartments, within which are strange cabalistic images. He first made the vertical and horizontal divisions, which resulted in "a painting of several little empty boxes"; then, with very close looking, he discovered minute differentiations of surface and texture in the brown background and he followed around the edges of those variations with an ochre line. Thus, to some extent, the design is the result of chance; at the same time, the artist obviously controlled the kind of images which he "discovered." This painting is also related to a problem which he had set himself, namely, to invent a series of his own decorative motifs, feeling that since cultures have developed such forms, why should individuals not be able to?
Several of Young's paintings of the next year, 1964, combine the totemic, emblematic quality with the dot technique. In a curious way, all the little dots (which have now become much smaller and completely overall) reinforce the sensation, cherished by Young, of an animistic presence inherent in objects. This attitude was probably strengthened by the visual effects of hallucinogens and marijuana which he started taking about this time; he has spoken of the kind of "patterning overlying and underlying reality" related to that experience.2 Obviously, he was also painting in the then-current mode of serial art. In many of his 1964 paintings, Young's small unit ("the irreducible quantum of a painter's activity," as Meyer Schapiro once defined brush stroke) was far from exclusively a dot. "You can make little X's or little horizontal dashes or vertical dashes or you can make little dots or something; it's just a way of covering a field."3
His most elaborate serial project was a group of 15 boxes, each 15 inches square on the surface and varying in depth from a half-inch to seven inches. Their red, yellow and blue dots, in acrylic paint neatly placed and shaped like rows of thumbtack heads, were distributed on the front surface according to a numerical scheme depending upon the depth of the box. Since he had been obliged to give up his loft in 1964 and move to a small apartment, it was not until he got to a big loft again in 1965 that he was able to see the series together as a whole. Somewhat disappointed with the total effect, and preferring the individual works, he broke up the set and disposed of them separately.
Also in 1964, Young had painted several "plaid" pictures, some of them on a diamond-shaped canvas (inevitably suggesting the Victory Boogie-Woogie as a possible impetus). His first large picture, six feet square, Unnumbered, 1965, was again executed in the plaid technique, superimposing and interweaving square strokes and bands in a complex pattern of diagonal as well as horizontal and vertical activity. However, after he saw Agnes Martin's beautiful grid paintings, he stopped working with that device. Feeling also that the grid was getting too rigid for him, too far away from nature, he took a different tack in his next group of paintings: in order to bring space back into the work, he adopted linear perspective and a particular color of blue universally associated with the sky (see #3, 1966). Moreover, the spatial illusion in these seven paintings was a deliberate reaction to the strict flatness of so much current work. He felt himself challenged by Stella and Poons, who represented contemporary art for him, to "do the next thing" (he no longer adheres to any such dialectical program, dialectic now being the "enemy"). These 1966 paintings had been extremely logically planned several months before when he had again been forced to move from his loft to an apartment. There he worked in a very small room, emptied of all but a table and chair, and made drawings for paintings and wrote notes about them (as well as about solitude). The enforced change in his situation proved to be a blessing as it helped him break away from a method that was in danger of becoming a manner and gave him a sense of beginning anew, a quality which pervades the actual 10-to 12-foot long paintings which he was able to execute when, in 1966, he took another loft. He decided not to complete a few of the mathematically conceived studies for paintings, perhaps because they seemed too much like gimmicks; one of them was in a curious shape which would appear rectangular when viewed obliquely. At no other time has Young worked from preliminary drawings, and, I believe, this was the only occasion when he "made paintings with the idea that they were for the public." He had now become friends with several painters, worked for a while in an art gallery, and, in his words, "realized that I could just stay home and rattle around and amuse myself, or I could paint in such a way that the paintings could enter the market and possibly make a living for me." It was at this point that Dick Bellamy came to his studio, bought some paintings, and offered to become his dealer. This whole group of perspectival, deep space paintings demonstrated Young's independence within the current geometric mode. His consciousness of his personal departure is fully revealed in the one picture in the group which is not sky blue, but white, #7, 1966, a satire on the kind of painting which to him was as flat, closed, and boring as a brick wall.
With his debut as a selling artist, represented by a famous avant-garde dealer, he switched abruptly from the kind of work Bellamy had bought to the "constellations," such as #3, 1967, which he considers to be virtually realist paintings, "renderings of the heavens." Different-sized, randomly placed, densely packed luminous dots ("stars") swirl through midnight blue or black skies. "But somehow those paintings pleased me so much that I didn't feel like indulging it, I suppose. I only made four of them." However, he turned the discovery he had made—i.e., of a new use to which he could put his earlier dot technique—toward the solution of a more difficult problem, and an ancient one: how to paint light. In his many attempts throughout the next two years he achieved only occasionally the dazzling radiance of light which he had in mind, a vision intensified by his experience with hallucinogens, which he took most frequently during that time. Later on he characterized his work and that of most of his generation as "psychedelic painting," a particularly appropriate term for the most successful of Young's dot pictures of 1968 and '69. Beginning with the familiar assumption that white and light are composed of all colors, he placed dots of wide-ranging spectral hues on a white ground in a variety of applications: some with the dots chained, some separated (as #10, 1967), some marbleized, some in full saturation, others modified with white. Possibly because the dots are fairly small and uniform and the colors are distributed quite equally, most of those 1967 paintings appear almost monochromatic as the hues tend to neutralize and cancel each other out optically. However, while Young thus failed in these first attempts to capture the intense radiance which he sought, he did succeed admirably in presenting the whirling effect of what he calls "primal light" through his positioning of the dots. He usually placed three of them fairly equidistant from each other to form a triangle, and then another dot forming another triangle, and so on until they clustered into pentagons, whose outside edges move toward a circular formation. This was repeated with new sets of triangulation (as he calls the system), thus starting a swing in another direction. The dynamic expanding and contracting swirls and counter swirls into which Young organized the atom-like units of his painting resemble the constant buzzing activity of particles which he perceives while under hallucinogens when, as he says, he can actually "see the air." In 1967 he painted (besides the four night-sky paintings) seven of these pointillist pictures patterned in a multi-directional flow on a white ground.
His output was more than doubled the next year when he painted about 30 pictures, two-thirds of them in the relatively slow pointillist method—an exceptional productivity for an artist who, like so many of his contemporaries, spends more time thinking than doing. He began 1968 with another stylistic reversal, going back and "reconfirming" the paintings with black lines on a sky blue ground of 1966; but this time, with one or two exceptions, the lines are curved rather than straight, which may explain why such paintings as #8, 1968 are more vibrating than the earlier rectilinear ones. That effect is no doubt related to the whirling movements in the dotted style, to which he returned after about a dozen of the linear pieces. In the new pointillist pictures he concentrated more on color, realizing for himself that "color is light and light is color . . . which is still too little understood . . . a no-man's-land." by distributing the hues in less balanced quantities he made each of them, and thus the total coloration, count for more. The "dots," which are smooth-edged drops of acrylic paint, are far from round and never uniform in shape or size, as can be seen by looking closely at such a painting as #29, 1968. This is the first picture in which Young allowed, or rather induced, eccentric little images to emerge here and there across the canvas. There is a teasing quality about these abstract conformations; like vaguely organic creatures they people the work. Animating the inanimate, they suggest the painting of Paul Klee, whose Gleich Unendjich (Equals Infinity) in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, is, furthermore, executed in a dotted technique.4 I am not proposing that Klee has specifically influenced Young in this area, although he greatly admires the remarkable variety of the Swiss master's work, and he too would like his pictures to catch the viewer's imagination and open it to fantasy. In this connection, an American painter who has been especially important for Peter Young ever since he first met him in 1956 is Lee Mullican. Such paintings as The Jungle of 1953 lie behind the younger artist's work in their pronounced animistic imagery, insistent patterning and busy activity of the surface, although Mullican's repeated linear units are more varied than Young's dots.
By early 1969 Peter Young had become, from his point of view, too much sought after by avant-garde collectors and curators.5 Moreover, he was becoming increasingly troubled and wondering if he could go on placing little colored dots of paint on canvas with the world in crisis all around him. Like most thinking young people, he was ashamed to live in comfort—even the little comfort that a loft on the Bowery could afford—so he took leave of civilization to spend the, first three or four months of 1969 living with the Boruca tribe in a primitive area of Costa Rica. Here he continued to pursue his own trade, but now free from any possible market-place pressures. He made a dozen paintings in unconventional forms, the cloth wrapped around sticks tied together with thongs, the whole structure most emphatically hand-made looking, in complete opposition to the dominant New York type of nicely tailored, crisp-edged supports. All but one of these new paintings he left with the natives who had become his friends; the only example he brought back with him to the States has now gone to England with another friend.
Back in New York, with renewed integrity and a different sense of urgency, he turned again to the dot technique, not yet having finished what he had to say in that idiom. The richest and most varied in color and abstract imagery of all his paintings in that vein, they became gradually more free and open, while stronger and harsher. While the 1969 pointillist paintings, of which there are eleven, continue the eccentric imagery, the white ground of the earlier ones is replaced by differently colored and shaped patches, with a top layer of dots in an extreme variety of hues, as in #16, 1969. The color patches establish one set of images and the dots, in their multi-hued and varied placements, another. II) one or two examples, the predominant hues are neighborly (such as violet, blue and rose); in some the cool section of the spectrum dominates (#15, 1969); in others the hot; but in general all of these last pointillist paintings throb and pulsate in a dazzling range of colors in fullest saturation, approximating the intensity of perception induced by LSD or mescaline.6 It is a brilliant series whose expressive power ranges from lyric and graceful to passionate, painful and even somber.
By early July, 1969, he cleaned up his paints with the last of the dot series, #23, 1969, and set off for the West. The brightly colored beads which he made later that year and early the next bespeak his mobile, unsettled existence from 1969 to the present. Although they evolved, in some measure by chance, from his process of painting, Young's plastic beads are a striking symbol of the whole hippie generation's new mode of living: their relaxed concept of masculinity and, it follows, of femininity and of sex in general; their determined break from middle class conventions and values; their mystic or religious concerns; and their adoption of cultural patterns akin to those of the American Indian, such as tribe-clan-family structure, craft tradition (much of it to adorn the body) and simple nomadic life, free of unneeded belongings.
Young's beads first came about when, attracted by the accumulation of old acrylic paint on the edge of a jar, he peeled it off and hung it up on a nail on the wall. At first about the size of a bracelet, as he kept dipping it in different colored paints, it got heavier and longer. Thus, like many other art forms, the beads developed from a kind of left-handed play with materials. Young soon transformed this accidental discovery into a deliberate process: on a sheet of polyethylene he spread acrylic paint until it became firm enough to pick up; then he dipped it, section after section, into different colors, building it up into a great many layers. Finally, after cutting this "string" into separate beads, he carved each of them individually to reveal their multicolored interior structure. In this last stage Peter Young, somewhat like Matisse, was actually cutting color, although he was carving small volumes of it, rather than slicing large planes. He liked the beads so much that he made over 60 strings of them, giving half of them away. These works add another alternative to the rigid, sharp-edged planar formats of much contemporary painting. He also, albeit unconsciously, aligned himself with the process artists in such works as the board on which the paint had fallen down and splashed; the paint drippings peeled off another board after it had been soaked in water; and the upholstery on an old chair which he had used as a paint rag to wipe off his hands and brush.
After many months of drifting through remote areas of Utah and New Mexico, he wrote in August that the only art work he had made during that time was a wooden bowl; however, in the fall (of 1970) he painted 36 pictures related in imagery and construction to the Costa Rica "stick" paintings (at least to the only example I have seen of that earlier series7). Small in size, the largest about two feet high, these latest works are painted on canvas folded over branches about one and a half to two inches thick, and fastened in back with a criss-cross arrangement of rope, plastic string, rubber-covered wire—whatever he happened to have at hand. The casual handcrafting and closeness to nature—and the distance from the rigidly edged New York painting—are stressed by unevenly painted borders simulating wood. The images are abstract, formed by a few lines of one color on a flat ground of another; but they strongly evoke Indian art in color, design, and even symbolism. One may ask if a sign can become a symbol without a genuine and general cultural meaning behind it; nevertheless, the zigzag crossing orange lines on a red ground in #15, 1970 suggest the tribal symbol for streaks of lightning shooting through the sky. While few of the other paintings in the series have such an explicit similarity to Indian motifs, they all convey a curiously compelling cabalistic or magical force. They descend indirectly from the earlier black line on blue ground paintings, but they are far more organic as well as primitive-looking, both of which qualities are accentuated by the variation in thickness, density and edge of lines, the uneven spacing, and the avoidance of exact repetition. Like growing things, these new pictures are closer to the trees and bushes from which their stretchers came than to the mathematically plotted earlier abstractions. They are appropriate works to have come from a mountain top in Utah (which Peter Young has recently bought). Yet their primitivism in no way conceals the highly sophisticated sensibility which produced them.
—Ellen H. Johnson
1. Because of his parents' interests, he grew up at ease with art: in his home were American Indian objects, as well as books, journals and reproductions of modern masters; he was often taken to exhibitions; and from 1951–53 he was sent for private lessons to a Russian woman who taught him abstract art, so that when a boy he already understood it as a concept and a practice. At Santa Monica High School, he was lucky enough to have an art teacher who allowed him to paint in the then-current Abstract Expressionist style or any other style he wanted.
2. He has explained that smoking marijuana was for him, and for many other contemporary artists, a part of the usual studio ritual. After a bout of concentrated painting at close range, one stops, moves back, and lights a cigarette or pipe of marijuana to accompany the essential process of contemplating and assessing the work. (The Abstract Expressionists preferred tobacco and alcohol.)
3. This, and most of the other instances where Peter Young's exact language is used, comes from the tape of a talk which he gave at Oberlin College, November 23, 1970.
4. For an even closer analogy, see Klee's Polyphonie, 1932, illustrated in Die Sammlung der Emanuel Hoffmann-Stiftung, Kunst-museum, Basel, 1970, p. 49.
5. Early in 1969 he was given sizeable presentations in the Corcoran Biennial (5 paintings); the Nine Young Artists/Theodoron Awards at the Guggenheim (6 works—2 hors catalogue); and a show with David Diao at the Leo Castelli Gallery (3 paintings). Besides the Noah Goldowsky/Richard Bellamy Gallery, he has also been represented, since 1968, by the Galerie Ricke, Cologne and the Nicholas Wilder Gallery, Los Angeles.
6. Peter Young, again like numerous others of his generation, has now turned away from drugs, partly from a growing interest in bodily health and a pronounced shift away from the urban environment. However, Young will continue to build on the spiritual and psychological, as well as visual, discoveries or "glimpses of a higher reality" which hallucinogens afforded him.

TV REVIEW: 'Fear the Walking Dead' – 'Laura'
"The world is still alive if I know you're in it."
By Jeffrey Kopp -

Spoiler Warning for the Season 4, Episode 5 of "Fear the Walking Dead," as well as all previous episodes of the series. Spoilers from "The Walking Dead" will also be discussed.
Love is in the air. Loss is in the air.
The latest episode of "Fear the Walking Dead" takes things to a new level as the focus shifts to two of the most interesting characters. In a standalone backstory, the series tells the tale of John Dorie and Naomi/Laura as they fall in love and separate. This backstory is damn near perfect, feeling almost like a singular romantic comedy film rather than an episode of "Fear." Without any doubt, this is the strongest episode of Season 4, and is one of the most engrossing episodes in the entire "TWD" franchise.
Over the course of the season so far, small tidbits of information about John's past have been dropped, but this episode really dives deep into his character. Think of this episode as "Fear the Walking Dead's" version of "Here's Not Here." At some point in the past (an exact timeline is not given), John resides alone in a cabin next to a river. He wakes up each day to music from a wriggling fish radio and begins his day of chores and relaxation. There's a sense of calm, but also loneliness as John kills beached Infected, collects water, scavenges for food and plays Scrabble; while going about his chores, John murmurs words that he later plays in Scrabble, something that was first hinted in the Season Premiere. It's important to note that John's cabin is extremely isolated and rigged to withstand the apocalypse; there is a moat out front to prevent the undead from getting close to the cabin, a smart tactic that assists in his survival. In the middle of the night, he hears what he believes to be another Infected washing up, but he is stunned to find an unconscious woman, revealed to the audience to be Naomi. Not only is this episode the story of where John was before he met up with Morgan and Althea, but it is also serves to peel back the layers of Naomi and show her character prior to arriving at the Diamond.
When John finds Naomi, she is badly banged up and has a nasty cut on her side. He treats her wound and lets her sleep through the night before trying to talk to her. Only when he checks on her in the morning, Naomi is trying to flee in his truck. It's clear that John isn't going to make her stay if she doesn't want to, but the battery is dead and she isn't able to go anywhere. This is yet another case of Naomi being skittish, mirroring the times she tried to flee from both Madison and Alicia in previous episodes. They both return inside the cabin and Naomi asks that John stitch up her wound. Later, he makes fish soup for her and they properly introduce themselves to each other; however, Naomi never states her actual name and instead goes by "Laura," which John names her after noticing that she isn't quite ready to open up to him. Throughout the episode, Naomi repeatedly tells John that she will be leaving after she heals up, not wanting to stay at the cabin for too long; this parallels Morgan's insistence that he will only be traveling with John and Althea temporarily, even though he keeps getting pulled into drama and staying with them.

A major element of this episode revolves around the pair of matching pistols that were split between John and Naomi. In the middle of the night, Naomi watches as John cleans the pistols, playing into his explanation that he rarely sleeps anymore. When morning comes, John dispatches a few Infected that wash up, something that Naomi questions; John explains that something is happening upstream that seems to be drawing them into the river. She offers to tag along as he heads upstream to check it out and also head to a local store that he frequents. The two load into a canoe and begin paddling up the river, allowing for some bonding as John reveals to Naomi that he was once a police officer. They approach an overpass where a car seems to have driven off and crashed into the water; John questions if this is how she ended up in the water, which turns into a quip about Naomi's driving skills. An Infected falls from the opened gap on the bridge, giving an explanation to why they keep washing up outside of the cabin downstream. Later, the two pay a visit to a general store to collect supplies. Naomi reorganizes the medical supplies in the store so that any survivor will have an easier time finding what they need, especially if they're in a hurry. John rents a movie, even signing it out as if he were living in the pre-apocalypse. There's a sense of normalcy and peace that these scenes showcase while simultaneously bringing the characters of John and Naomi closer together, letting one another (and the viewers) see the good in the other.
John and Naomi demonstrate their strength as a team by partially repairing the gap on the bridge with some metal they find at the general store. Later, after returning to the cabin, they get even closer as they sit together on the couch and watch a movie; John had previously mentioned his love for movies, and this episode reiterates that fact. There's an absolutely heartbreaking moment as John wakes up on the couch to find Naomi staring at him before quietly saying the words "I lost my child." This single line reveals so much about Naomi and provides insight into why she is rather closed off in the two timelines she's been shown in. John's reaction to this is rather simple, but shows that he feels her pain, but doesn't rub his pity in her face. Numerous characters in both shows have lost children and it always serves as a element that develops them and in many cases, makes them stronger, but also more broken than ever before. This episode shows that there is a path forward for those that lose a child with Naomi gaining necessary survival skills, including fishing. John teaches her the art of fishing, allowing them to feast on their fresh catches. A montage shows their growing bond over an indeterminate amount of time with them going about daily activities, such as fishing and playing Scrabble, together rather than alone. These scenes are further parallels to "Here's Not Here," wherein Eastman taught Morgan aikido and several other noteworthy skills.

There's more exploration of Naomi's backstory as she is clearly having a difficult time letting herself feel a connection to John. After she is fully healed up, she lets John know that she will be leaving soon and his mood drastically changes, clearly saddened to realize their time together is ending. Outside, more of the Infected have washed up, leading the two to realize their repair job didn't solve the problem fully. They return to the bridge and John discovers that Naomi has brought one of his pistols along with them to assist in taking down the Infected. This angers John, who states that he never wanted the pistols to leave his cabin, citing his disdain for guns and his belief that they only cause more problems. The duo use a handful of melee weapons to clear the bridge of Infected before driving a vehicle to close the gap of the bridge. An Infected with a machete through its body approaches the vehicle and cuts through the window as Naomi yells for John to shoot it, but he refuses and is nearly bitten before finally bloodily bashing its head in. This opens up a whole can of worms when it comes to John's history and he is later encouraged by Naomi to share why exactly he doesn't like to use guns. Before the apocalypse, John stopped a robbery at a gas station by firing his gun at the robber, who later bled out and died. This turned him into a hero in the eyes of the town even though he felt immense guilt and relocated to the cabin to get away from it all. There's clearly a ton of pain and sorrow that John feels for his role in killing someone, leaving him less than willing to get his hands bloody in the apocalypse.
Things take a turn for the worse as the sound of the undead in the partially submerged crashed car draw a small herd to the gap on the bridge, allowing them to move the parked vehicle and tumble into the river. Naomi and John are stunned to find a large collection of the Infected washed up on their shore. They fight off as many as they can, but there is simply too many and Naomi falls into the moat. Just as it looks like she is going to be devoured, John steps in and takes all of the Infected out by double shooting his pistols with killer accuracy. This attack sequence is stylistically similar to old-school horror/zombie movies and is likely an homage to George Romero's films. Later, John offers one of his pistols to Naomi and tells her that she needs to take it with her for both of their sake. After settling in for the night, Naomi tries to sit beside John to watch a movie, but he steps away, still bothered by her impending departure. He understands her need to be alone and offers to leave and allow her to live at the cabin by herself. It is here that John professes his love to Naomi, something that he notes that he didn't want to do, but was compelled by her decision to leave and his need for her to survive. She responds to his proclamation with a kiss that seems to lead to sex. However, John wakes up in the morning to find himself alone in the cabin with Naomi nowhere to be found. On the table is a note laid out in Scrabble letters stating "I love you too. I'm sorry." Once again, Naomi is running away (or possibly to something) and John is left alone in the world…that is until he finds his new friends later down the line.
The final few moments of the episode catch up with John and Morgan as it is revealed that John was telling the tale of him and Naomi. The two men are at a bit of a crossroads now, having split from Alicia, Strand, Luciana and Althea, and Morgan asks John if he believes that their revenge quest against the Vultures is the right move. Morgan clearly believes that it is the wrong move having just spent a full season fighting All Out War on "The Walking Dead," which really messed with his head. He repeats the line that Rick said to him in the Season 4 Premiere about being part of the world, showing that he has grown immensely since leaving Virginia and meeting up with John and the others. Rick told Morgan that he would end up with people one way or another…and he was totally right. Both series like to remind viewers that regardless of if a character wants to alone, people always find a way into that individual's life. There are a lot of similarities between John and Morgan, and it will be interesting to see if they further their already strong bond. Both Lennie James and Garret Dillahunt have great chemistry with one another and have developed this dynamic that is fascinating to watch.
"Laura" is a slow burn episode that takes time to dive deep into the characters of John and Naomi. This episode is precisely what "Fear the Walking Dead" and the "TWD" franchise as a whole is all about; human beings living their lives in the apocalypse, loving and losing people in the process. Director Michael Satrazemis deserves a ton of praise, along with the cinematographer and writers. Both Garret Dillahunt and Jenna Elfman deliver spectacular performances and pack all of the emotional punches that make this episode so effective. A ton of questions still remain, but this episode is an excellent addition to the "Fear" canon and is definitely one of the strongest chapters to date. It's always great when the focus is shifted to one or two characters, allowing for immense development and growth. Where are Morgan and John headed now? Is Naomi actually dead? WHERE IS MADISON?
Be sure to tune into "Fear the Walking Dead" next Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC.

By 2012, Bugatti was finally hitting its stride. Well into Veyron production, the marque found the customers were salivating for something more, if such a thing was even possible from the starting point of a 1,001-bhp hypercar. Yet again, Bugatti shocked the world and introduced two new models to satisfy their needs, the convertible Grand Sport and the even more powerful Super Sport.

Written for a forthcoming book on e-governance and e-democracy, this essay summarizes the current state of play in electronic rulemaking in the United States. It thus focuses on a context in which the use of electronic consultation by "executive branch" actors engaged in policy-making has been developing for over a decade, and has reached a point of considerable, although not final maturity. Initially developed haphazardly, agency-by-agency, it is now (albeit with friction in the gears) moving towards a centralized regime. The practice is rarely consultative in the full sense the book as a whole will address; while the public is given opportunities for input, and the input processes are transparent in varying degrees, online exchanges in the nature of a conversation or round-table are not yet imagined in conventional rulemaking - although first steps in that direction have been taken under the aegis of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

GATINEAU, QC, March 7, 2019 /CNW/ - In a country as prosperous as Canada, everyone should have a real and fair chance to succeed. The Government of Canada is focused on growth that benefits all Canadians, investing $22 billion since 2015 in efforts to help grow the middle class and reduce poverty.
Last week, Statistics Canada released results from the 2017 Canadian Income Survey, which revealed that the Poverty Reduction Strategy's interim target of reducing poverty by 20 percent by 2020 had already been reached—a full three years ahead of schedule. By meeting this target, Canada has reached its lowest poverty rate in history.
The poverty rate of 9.5 percent in 2017 represents the lowest rate of poverty ever based on Canada's Official Poverty Line (formerly known as the Market Basket Measure). This historic low poverty rate represents an important step towards the Government of Canada's goal to cut poverty in half by 2030.
The Government of Canada is working hard to reduce the number of Canadians living in poverty and strengthen the economy. With the help of programs such as the Canada Child Benefit and the top-up to the Guaranteed Income Supplement, there were 825,000 fewer Canadians living in poverty in 2017 than there were in 2015. More are expected to be lifted out of poverty as the impacts of these investments are realized in the years to come.
"Fewer Canadians than ever are living in poverty and more are joining the middle class. However, we know there is much more to do. That is why we remain committed to cutting poverty in half by 2030 by building a diverse, prosperous and truly inclusive country where all Canadians can realize their full potential."
The median after-tax income for 2017 was $59,800, also the highest in Canadian history.
Data on Canada's Official Poverty Line has been published by Statistics Canada since 2002.
Opportunity for All – Canada's First Poverty Reduction Strategy, released in August 2018, established the Market Basket Measure as Canada's first Official Poverty Line.
A total of 3.4 million Canadians, representing 9.5 percent of the population, lived in poverty in 2017, down from 10.6 percent in 2016.
The data for 2017 also reflect the first full year of the Canada Child Benefit and the increased Guaranteed Income Supplement top-up, which were both implemented in July 2016.
Between 2015 and 2017, there was a decrease of 52,000 single seniors living below Canada's Official Poverty Line.
The Poverty Reduction Strategy's targets are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to eradicate poverty.

The 2014 Tony Nominations Are Announced
By Jennifer R Jones | Posted on April 30, 2014 2:22 PM
It is always a time of great anticipation. The Tony Awards, the most prestigious awards ceremony for Broadway, mean a great deal to the fate of plays and musicals, often dictating tourist picks throughout the summer and certainly adding a measure of prestige for the award recipients. This year, the Tony Awards ceremony will be held on June 8, 2014 at Radio City Music Hall. The nominations were just announced. The Nominations Leading the list of shows with the highest number of nominations is the new musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, which received 10 nominations. Hedwig and the Angry Inch followed with a respectable 8, and four shows tied next with 7 nominations: After Midnight, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Twelfth Night, and The Glass Menagerie. The Tony Nominating Committee adopted a new rule this winter, which allows each category to select up to five contenders, if deemed appropriate due to the votes being close enough in the final tally. Despite this fact, several categories still have only four or three nominees, even when those supposed to be serious contenders were left out of the running. For instance, the category of Best Musical includes only four nominees – After Midnight, Aladdin, Beautiful, and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder – even while Bullets Over Broadway, If/Then, The Bridges of Madison County, and Rocky were all left out. The Snubs You cannot make everyone happy all the time, but perhaps the most notable snub was Will Eno's new play The Realistic Joneses, which did not receive any nominations. Critics have hypothesized that this is because the nominating committee was turned off by the show's unusual structure and provocative subject matter, while the plays that were selected were all more conventional, if significantly less moving or original. These nominees for Best Play are Act One, All the Way, Casa Valentina, Mothers and Sons, and Outside Mullingar, most of which received moderate to mixed reviews. The category for Best Revival of a Musical includes only three titles – Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Les Misérables, and Violet – though the only other contender, Cabaret, was blatantly left off the list. The four titles chosen for Best Revival of a Play are The Cripple of Inishmaan, The Glass Menagerie, A Raisin in the Sun, and the all-male production of Twelfth Night. Other Surprises Not appearing on the Tony nomination list includes Daniel Radcliffe, who did not receive a nomination for Best Actor for his role in The Cripple of Inishmaan, despite having received magnificent reviews. This marks the third time he has starred on Broadway yet failed to be nominated for a Tony Award, it seems that he cannot shake his Harry Potter persona, albeit in the eyes of the Tony Award committee. Other actors who were astonishingly left out of the running include Denzel Washington for A Raisin in the Sun, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart who co-starred in the repertory productions of No Man's Land and Waiting for Godot, as well as Zachary Quinto who was the only star of The Glass Menagerie to be left off. Other shows that did not receive any nominations – some to great surprise – are the box-office smash Betrayal, the big-budget musical Big Fish, and the musicals Soul Doctor, First Date, and the revival of Cabaret. Interestingly, all the nominees for Best Director of a Play were for revivals, rather than new plays. These are John Tiffany for The Glass Menagerie, Kenny Leon for A Raisin in the Sun, Tim Carroll for Twelfth Night, and Michael Grandage for The Cripple of Inishmaan. Perhaps the nominating committee prefers to acknowledge the work of directors who revive older works, rather than those who create the first Broadway production of a new play. They failed to recognize Bill Rauch for All the Way and James Lapine for Act One, both of whom worked magic with large casts. Furthermore, it is notable that no women were nominated for play directing awards, and only one woman was nominated for directing a musical: Leigh Silverman for Violet. What's more, none of the ten new plays this season were written by women. In fact, women were notably few amongst the nominees overall – with the clear exceptions of the Best Actress categories. Patrick Healy of The New York Times postulated that this is because men in power often choose those with whom they have a friendly relationship for high-up positions in the theatre, so it often turns out that men serve these roles.

Buddocalypse, Pt. 3
Start of chapter
Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Colourized Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"As someone who does all their comic work in black and white, how do you feel about coloured versions of works that were originally done in black and white (eg: those coloured versions of Bone)?" -James
I wouldn't say it's something that actively bothers me -- especially with something like Bone, where the publisher wanted to have it in colour to make it more appealing to young children. But my personal preference is generally to read a comic the way it was originally intended to be presented.
I think for most artists, knowing whether or not your art is eventually going to be coloured will probably lead you to make some really different choices with your inking and even your composition. Sam and Fuzzy is a great (albiet extreme) example of this... if I was planning to colour it, I wouldn't use so much black space, or so many iconic visuals that revolve around harsh two tone (or three with grey) contrasts. I'd plan for the colour in the art, and as a result, the art would be totally different!
Because of that, I feel like a lot of colourized comics don't always quite come together... the colouring doesn't mesh perfectly with the lineart because it was an unplanned addition. But hey, there are always occasions where unplanned moves or accidents wind up working really well. There are definitely some specific portions of Bone that look really phenomenal in colour. But I think there are also some really awesome iconic black-and-white sequences that suffer a little.
"Are you aware that you have two different email addresses on your website? Which one are we supposed to send to?" -Jimmy
Either is fine! They both go to the same place. Sam-at-samandfuzzy-dot-com is the more recent address, and on the redesigned site I'm working on, it will probably be the only one.
"So, I'm not going to ask for a detailed and possibly three-pronged Sam and Fuzzy timeline, but I am curious - are you acknowledging that the characters are ageing, or are you working on the idea that they have eternal youth? Just wondering because there's been quite a large passage of time across the Sam and Fuzzy story now...I can't be bothered going back to check how long has passed since he met fuzzy, but Sam must be getting on a bit!" -James
There is definitely an internal timeline that I follow, and characters do age accordingly. I've never worried about super precise dates, but I keep track of the various eras of the strip by approximate half-years. One of these days I should write it all out! I think it would be interesting to look at.
The first Sam and Fuzzy strips took place about four-and-a-half years prior to the current "present". In that time, Sam has spent half-a-year at X-Per-S taxi, half-a-year at Bunton's Books, a year on tour with Noosehead, a bit over half-a-year on the run in the underground, and two years running NMS. (One year pre-Devahi and one year post-Devahi.) He's aged from 25 to almost 30.
The flashbacks with Fuzzy and Hazel take place a few months shy of 7 years prior to the first strips.
Well, that's a wrap for this week. See you on Monday, team!
-Sam Logan
Conscience Cat
I've always had a soft spot for the Conscience Cat shirt. You might have guessed as much, since in my past posts about Rewrite History and Steam Power, I've talked about how the shirts I'm happiest with are almost always the designs that take one of my characters and graphically mesh them directly into some hand-lettered text. Conscience Cat definitely fits that bill. Plus, it's the oldest design of mine that we still sell!
Or at least, it was until Christmas, when it went out of stock in almost all sizes and stayed that way due to problems. Sorry about that! But good news: we finally got some more! They're back on sale now, and if the design still has some life in it, we'll do a better job of keeping it around this time.
And of course, we also have Conscience Cat whiteboards, too. Which just goes to show, there's more than one way to skin a cat. (Or to just print a cat on objects and sell them.)
TCAFinated
TCAF complete! And by extension, so to does my crazy three show marathon come to an end. It was wonderful to wrap things up with an event like TCAF, which is as much a fun, relaxed hangout as it is an exhibition. As always, I saw a lot of familiar faces, and also met a lot of really swell readers and really talented creators. Thanks for the good times, friends!
But now, time to decompress. But only for a bit! After all, it will soon be time to wind myself up for the innagural Vancouver Comic Arts Festival, which arrives later this month! As you can imagine, I'm especially excited about that one.


Prices of crèches in Dublin vary enormously from one place to another, and in today's economic climate parents can certainly be forgiven for thinking first about price before other considerations. After all, if you cannot afford a particular crèche, what's the point in exploring its various offerings?
Nevertheless, crèche prices in Dublin don't always reflect their relative value, so it is worth considering that even if a crèche's fees are within your price range there may be a cheaper – or even a slightly dearer – crèche in Dublin that offers what you are looking for in a crèche. At the Park Academy we know that we are not offering the lowest crèche fees in Dublin. This is because we believe, first and foremost, in excellence in childcare, and true excellence requires that we invest in facilities and principles that other crèches may not value so highly. Let us take a frank look at a just three aspects of the Park Academy that may carry a higher cost, but that certainly provide substantially more value to our Childcare Centres of Excellence.
Our Approach. The Park Academy approach to childcare is a blend of attentive, nurturing care, informed by the most advanced and up-to-date early childhood education methodologies, including High/Scope, Montessori and Regio Emilia, tailoring the most appropriate of these approaches to match the needs of each child.
Staff training. Each of our centres is managed by a highly qualified childcare professional and staffed by teachers with at least a FETAC level 5 qualification in childcare. Indeed, we take training so seriously at the Park Academy that we have developed a FETAC Accredited Training School which plays a vital role in the training and upskilling of our team. Successful graduates of our in-house training centre receive a Childcare Level 5 or Level 6 Qualification from FETAC.
Nutrition. A commonly overlooked, yet fundamentally important, aspect of children's daily well-being, alertness, willingness to engage is directly linked to diet. Part of your Park Academy crèche fees go toward paying a full-time chef, skilled in providing nutritious, appealing, fresh meals that strengthen body and mind and build lifetime habits of healthy eating.
When considering crèches in Dublin, certainly consider cost, but also consider what you – and your child – are getting for your hard-earned crèche fees.

Former Pope Benedict XVI Is Dead
by Emuobonuvie Okoro | HGS Media Plus
Written by Emuobonuvie Okoro | HGS Media Plus
Former Pope Benedict XVI is dead.
The former Catholic church leader, who was named Joseph Ratzinger at birth, succeeded Pope John Paul II in 2005. However, due to ailing health, he abdicated the papacy in 2013, having led the Catholic Church for fewer than eight years.
He became the first Pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415.
A spokesman for the Holy See confirmed Benedict died on Saturday morning, December 31, 2022.
They said: "With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9.34am in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican. Further information will be provided as soon as possible."
Benedict spent his final years at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery within the walls of the Vatican where he passed away at 09:34 (08:34 GMT) on Saturday.
His successor Pope Francis will lead the funeral on 5 January.
The Vatican said the body of the Pope Emeritus will be placed in St Peter's Basilica from 2 January for "the greeting of the faithful".
Bells rang out from Munich cathedral and a single bell was heard ringing from St Peter's Square in Rome after the former pope's death was announced.
Pope Benedict died at the age of 95.

Grove City College assistant coaches Bill Brest and son Kendall watch film to compare notes and prepare game plans.
Father's Day is everyday: Bill Brest gets to enjoy coaching with son Kendall
By ED FARRELL | Herald Assistant Sports Editor
Diane Brest wants the world to know she's the wife of a working man. Last winter, Bill Brest resigned as Hickory High's head football coach.
But he's not "retired." Far from it.
Following a very successful 9-season stint with the 'Stingers – including 6 straight District 10 championships and a pair of PIAA Final Four berths – Brest resigned as Hickory's head coach; however, he has joined Grove City College's coaching staff.
Brest joins his son, Kendall, on Head Coach Andrew DiDonato's staff. Kendall is GCC undergraduate and coaches the defensive secondary; Bill will coach wide receivers and serve as special teams coordinator. Additionally, Brest's daughter Carly followed her brother to GCC and is a rising sophomore entrepreneurship/Spanish double major (with a minor in international/business) and member of the softball team.
Every day is Father's Day for Bill Brest.
"My wife and I get this question so many times: 'How are you enjoying retirement from coaching football?' I never retired; it was just time to take a different coaching journey," Brest recently explained.
Soon after tendering his resignation, Brest met with DiDonato for a cup of coffee. While at Hickory, Brest twice went head-to-head with DiDonato's South Fayette High offenses in Class AA western regional championship games.
"It wasn't an interview," Brest began, "but an evening full of discussion: of vision, mission, philosophy, process, life, the Lord, love, our families, Kendall, where I see Grove City College's special teams' and wide-receiver units, how can I assist (DiDonato) with the offense and the program, and our battles of Hickory versus South Fayette.
"It didn't take long to understand that this was the best situation for my family and myself, and that God's providence is leading the way," Brest added.
Kendall has served as a student coach the past 2 seasons, part of a turnabout from 4-6 in 2017 to 8-3 and a postseason 2018 win directed by DiDonato, the Presidents' Athletic Conference coach of the year.
"Coaching at GCC is great," Kendall commenced. "I have always wanted to coach on the offensive side of the ball, but now I am being enlightened on the defensive side of the ball and am really enjoying it. I love coaching at Grove City and am enjoying all the opportunities I wouldn't have received somewhere else, such as actually coaching a position as a student," added the junior exercise science major.
Though Grove City and Hermitage are separated by only 25 miles, there was some separation anxiety for the father when Kendall matriculated at GCC. Bill related:
"The past two seasons were difficult on me as a father, because I wanted to be at all of Kendall's games supporting him. However (as Hickory's head coach) my Saturdays and Sundays started at 5 a.m. and usually ended between 8-10 p.m. – game-planning and completing scouting reports. I would have the GCC game on Live Stream, but would only listen more than watch. Kendall and I would always talk after his games, but it was definitely not the same as being there.
"So when the opportunity presented itself, I wanted to make sure my wife was on board before informing Kendall and Carly," Brest continued. "In the end it's an opportunity to coach alongside my son and maintain a presence in both of my children's lives on the collegiate level.
"Most people don't get these chances. The more I prayed about it, the more we as a family prayed about it, a peace came over us and I am very happy to be a member of the GCC coaching staff."
Diane Brest, a Hickory High principal, pointed out, "Kendall has been with his father through the years: as Bill's ballboy at Hickory until he was old enough to play, (then) as a player for Bill, and then a coach with Bill after his health diagnosis. And now they are coaching together again. Pretty cool!"
Brest & Brest have begun working with the Wolverines.
"Spring football was incredible!" Bill began. "Coach DiDonato has assembled a young, talented, hard-working staff that appreciates each other, cares about the players and the game, and loves the Lord. We all had great communication! Practices moved fast, were well structured and organized, and much was accomplished.
"And it was great to see Kendall interacting with special teams and the corner(backs). And there were times he and I had cross-over work with receivers and corners and the rest of the defensive backs, which made for some great competition!" Bill continued. "But in reality, Kendall and I were like 'two ships that pass in the night' as we saw each other for a few periods at practice, but were both busy coaching.
"Afterwards, we would hug and say 'I love you', then he was off to dinner and study tables, while I headed into a staff meeting."
"Coaching with my father is a blessing not given to many people," confided Kendall. "We connect! And it's a fun battle between us when his receivers go against my corners in one-on-one practice. My father and I also talk 'Brick by Brick,' the GCC football philosophy. And I believe Grove City football is the first brick being laid in my ultimate football coaching foundation."
This summer the Brest family is bound for Cancun, Mexico. Bill and Kendall will coach at the Cancun for OFAS (Organization de Futbol Americano del Sereste or Football for South Americas) clinic.
"It will be such a great honor this time, as Kendall will be a part of the clinic," Bill said. "Simultaneously, Carly and her mother will be participating in a mission experience in the Cancun area."
Although athletes are athletes and coaching is coaching, the change has revitalized Bill Brest. His health has improved – during a recent telephone conversation he was preparing dinner – and he is eager to commence his coaching career at GCC.
"Coaching for and with Coach DiDonato offers many similarities to my time at Hickory in building a program; or as Coach DiDonato refers to it: 'building brick by brick,'" Bill explained. "From 0-33 (the Wolverines were winless for 3-plus consecutive seasons), to ... the first ever bowl win (Eastern College Athletic Conference) in 2018, the bricks are being laid because of what Coach DiDonato has set forth: A clear vision glorifying God, while building lasting relationships (and) earning a degree, (all) while in pursuit of a PAC championship.
"Everyone speaking the same language. There is a clear-cut process that everyone follows," Bill continued, "with everything being done with love. I appreciate this wonderful blessing to coach at Grove City College, for Coach DiDonato, with my son, and to be a part of building a program 'brick by brick.'"
TV sitcoms, circa 1960's, featured family-themed programs such as "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett," "Father Knows Best," and "My Three Sons." But don't expect Bill Brest to be sitting by the hearth, while wearing his cashmere sweater and drawing from a pipe before offering sage advice to Kendall and Carly.
Think of his station in life as a chapter from the book "Fathers & Sons & Sports." He's living the dream, knows it and grateful for it, and young – and wise enough – to be enjoying it. Or as he termed it:
"Together again ... and against each other at Grove City College."

Chandigarh 12th July:- Maharishi Dayanand Public School, Daria, Chandigarh, organized a skit and tree plantation campaign on the occasion of World Population Day in collaboration with the Environment Department, Chandigarh. The children expressed through the skit that continues increase in population could result in imbalance in the environment. Students said that a small family was essential for a clean environment. They conveyed the message that glaciers were melting due to continuous human population on Earth. This would threaten the existence of humans in danger. The environment is being adversely affected due to continuous cutting of trees.
Students said that if the population was low then the environment would remain clean. They also stressed upon more planting of trees for cleaner and safer environment. After the Skit, students took part in tree plantation with Pardeep Triveni Secretary of the Triveni Foundation. Acharya Ashok Kumar presided over the program. A Guava trees has been planted in the school while mango and Jamun trees have been planted in the open area of the panchayat. Sarpanch Gurpreet Singh Happy of Gram Panchayat welcomed the initiative of tree plantation take by Maharishi Dayanand Public School and triveni Foundation in the village.
On this occasion, the school principal Dr. Vinod Kumar said that the masses were affected by the population. Due to population growth, men were cutting trees at a fast speed. Due to this ignorance, he is endangering his life and others. Control of fast growing population is necessary.


Businesses want tighter and more automated integration between their on-site data and their cloud provider.
Data storage specialist Drobo has released storage industry predictions for the coming year, based on the company's interactions with customers, analysts and industry experts, predicting pure cloud adoption will become less common than a hybrid approach that tightly integrates public and private cloud architectures with modern on-premises storage systems a trend the company said will hold true for both home users and small to medium-size businesses.
According to recent cloud usage research conducted by Drobo, 96 percent of SMBs (up to 500 employees) report they will store at least 50 percent of their data on-site for a minimum of the next three years. Factors cited included cloud performance, security and reliability concerns. Both businesses and individuals did state they want tighter and more automated integration between their on-site data and their cloud provider.
"The pace of change in the storage industry is going to accelerate in 2012," said Tom Buiocchi, CEO of Drobo. "Cloud strategies are evolving rapidly, solid-state media will have its day, and Big Data technologies will find their way to 'Small Data' customers. Any vendor with an old school product line is going to learn some new lessons the hard way in 2012."
Consumerization of IT continues as enterprise storage features hit the SMB and home user market, the report noted, pointing out that the trend first occurred with PCs years ago and now it is happening with tablets. The company predicted in 2012 it will happen with personal and small business storage. Automated data protection, advanced thin provisioning and powerful data tiering with solid-state drives are among the innovative technologies that entered the enterprise market first, but in 2012 they will further permeate home and small business offices.
"Will most new home or small office users know how to describe these cool, geeky storage features?" the report posits. "Probably not, but they will know that storage has never been so easy to use, reliable and fast. 2012 will be the year that the idea of storage for the rest of us takes on a larger role in our lives, better protecting our rapidly growing digital universe."
The report also noted that while there is big buzz around Big Data, the fact is Big Data is relevant to only the largest of companies and data hoarders. "It's the one person, family or business having to navigate the protection and management of their own data that affects the largest group of people 100 million individuals and small businesses nationwide alone," the report noted. "The numbers are too big to ignore while Big Data will continue as a top issue in 2012, it's the 'Small Data' opportunity that will explode."

It's crazy how you can fall in love with something so instantly. It was definitely the best day of my life." Schwarber said in a press conference on Monday.

NCAA Women's March Madness

The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament is finally branded as "March Madness" for the first time ever. Post-season play for NCAA Women's Basketball has been called "NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament" since 1982, while the Men's playoff was titled with the iconic "March Madness." Last year's tournaments were surrounded by controversy when photos and videos of the women's post-season tournament went viral displaying a vast disparity in accommodations for the women's programs compared to the men's. In September of 2021, the NCAA announced that this year's tournament would be branded as "March Madness." "That was one of the recommendations from a comprehensive external review of gender equity issues in connection with NCAA championships, including issues that arose during the 2021 Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Championships," the NCAA reported in their September 29, 2021 press release. While branding and accommodations for the women's teams have improved, many athletes and coaches agree that more can still be done.
