health impacts of climate change
Professor Driscoll's research largely involves characterization and quantifying the impacts of air pollution, such as acid rain, mercury, elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide and associated effects of changing climate and land and water disturbances on the structure and function of ecosystems. Much of his work has focused on forest and associated aquatic resources, including studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, NH and the Huntington Forest in the Adirondacks, NY. Recently he has been part of a team quantifying health and ecosystem co-benefits associated with a national carbon standard for power plant emissions.
He also examine effects on wetlands, the Great Lakes, urban ecosystems, coastal waters and the open ocean. Over the past 35 years, he has advanced new analytical techniques, established and maintained long-term measurements and experiments, and developed a series of research and predictive models that simulate transformations of major chemical elements in forest vegetation, soil and surface waters in response to air pollution, climate and land disturbance. Beyond theory, he is interested in testing 'in situ' strategies to reverse the damaging effects of acid rain and mercury contamination and eutrophication. Current research includes using models, field experiments and measurements to examine: ecosystem effects of changing climate and acidic, nitrogen and mercury deposition; the effectiveness of "green" water infrastructure in storm water management; and ecosystem restoration.

How A Teen Plummeted 2 Miles Out Of An Airplane And Survived
By Mina Nakatani/Jan. 4, 2021 11:41 am EST
Peoples' opinions on flying can differ a lot. Some people love it, some don't mind, and others could completely do without it. But with the occasional plane crash or accident that hits the news, sometimes a particularly violent bump of turbulence can make anyone wonder what would happen if they were about to become a sad statistic, a victim killed in a relatively rare accident.
If a plane were to break apart in midair and send people into a free-fall miles above the earth, it's easy to guess that no one would survive. Even if someone did survive the fall, what if that accident happened over a rainforest inhabited mostly by wild animals and exotic bugs but very few people? Then it seems like a certainty that no one would make it back to civilization and live to tell the tale.
But it's not impossible. Actually, it's even happened before, and it's the real-life story of a woman named Juliane Koepcke.
Flight 508 began as normally as anyone might expect
It was Christmas Eve in 1971 at the Lima-Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru. Seventeen-year-old Juliane Koepcke boarded the plane with her mother. According to a later interview with Vice, they were on their way to spend Christmas with her father in the Amazon rainforest.
Koepcke was in generally high spirits, having just graduated high school some hours before. As a plus, she thought this particular plane looked perfect and was pretty fond of flying in general. In her book, When I Fell From the Sky, Koepcke mentions that she'd been on a class trip to Arequipa, Peru, just a few weeks earlier, and that she'd found that flight to be wonderful. Even on the return trip to Lima, where the plane had hit some turbulence and begun rocking in the air, she'd been completely fine with the situation.
So even though Flight 508 was delayed by seven hours, leaving everyone in a rush, when the plane flew into a dark cloud, Koepcke didn't think much of it, as she said in an interview with BBC years later. At the time, she didn't realize anything was wrong, even though her mother, a respected ornithologist with a general mistrust of airplanes, seemed to think otherwise.
But then, things began to go very wrong
Speaking to Vice and BBC, Juliane Koepcke could recall when things began to change. After an uneventful 30 minutes, the turbulence hit, and then she started to realize something wasn't the way it should be. This wasn't normal turbulence. The plane rocked violently, sending luggage and Christmas gifts flying around the cabin as passengers screamed and cried. Koepcke and her mother just held hands in silence.
After another ten minutes, a bright light flashed outside the window as a bolt of lightning hit the right wing, breaking it off the plane. Koepcke heard her mother say, "Now it's over," and the plane fell into a steep nose dive. People screamed, the motor roared, and everything was incredibly loud.
Then Koepcke was in free fall, 2 miles above the green top of the Amazon rainforest and still attached to her seat, though her mother and the other man in the row had been pulled out of theirs. She barely had time to register feeling scared, just feeling the seatbelt pushing against her stomach and knowing she was upside down, all while the world sounded calm and quiet compared to the cacophony inside the plane. All she could hear was the wind in her ears before blacking out, entirely alone as the jungle canopy spun toward her.
Juliane Koepcke survived the crash but was forced to survive the rainforest
Juliane Koepcke woke the next morning around 9 a.m., realizing that she was on the ground, having survived a plane crash with relatively minor injuries — a bad concussion and some deep gashes among them — as she explained to Vice and BBC.
She searched for her mother for a full day before finding a small creek and walking in it, knowing that it was a safe way to eventually find help. She could hear the rescue planes above, though that eventually stopped. She couldn't draw their attention, and she knew they'd stopped looking.
For ten days, she survived alone in the rainforest, subsisting on a bag of sweets she found at the crash site and concerned about a maggot-infested cut on her arm. By that tenth day, she felt weak and let herself float along a river, eventually finding a boat. At first, it seemed like a hallucination, but touching it proved it was very real. A small path led her to a hut where she cleaned out her wound with gasoline and spent the night.
The next morning, she could hear voices outside. To her, they sounded like angels. The men were shocked at her presence, thinking she was some kind of water goddess. But after she explained the situation, they fed her and tended to her wounds, taking her back to civilization the next day. A day after her rescue, she was reunited with her father.
Juliane Koepcke was the only person to survive Flight 508
While on her own in the rainforest, Juliane Koepcke told BBC that she came upon other victims of the crash. On the fourth day, she could hear vultures landing nearby, knowing that they had to be swarming the bodies of other victims from the crash. Still following the river at the time, she ended up finding a row of seats with their passengers still attached, rammed headfirst into the ground.
She'd never seen a dead body before that. Realizing that her mother wasn't among those bodies brought her relief, but then that relief brought shame just a little later.
Ultimately, on January 12, they did find her mother's body, learning that she had actually survived the crash. But, unlike Koepcke, her injuries were far worse, keeping her from moving and seeking help, and she died after a few days.
Every other passenger on that flight suffered a similar fate, either dying in the crash or losing their life to the rainforest, making the crash one of the most devastating in Peru's history. According to Aviation Safety Network, the plane itself was considered damaged beyond repair, and 91 of the 92 occupants died. Eighty-five of them were passengers. At the time, it was the second worst accident for a plane of its type, while being the third worst across Peru in general.
Juliane Koepcke has theories as to how she survived the fall
As the child of two scientists, Juliane Koepcke doesn't consider herself a particularly spiritual person, and she's since thought about how she was able to survive a 2-mile-long free fall. Speaking to CNN, she mentioned that the foliage of the rainforest was especially thick in the area she landed. It could've cushioned her fall and reduced the impact, like falling onto a mattress instead of concrete.
The seat itself might have also made a difference. She was still attached to the entire row as she fell, and it was spinning like the blades of a helicopter, which could've helped to slow her fall. Or she might've been attached to one end of that row of seats and "swirled down" to the ground more slowly than if she'd fallen in a straight line (via Business Insider).
Then there's also the storm to think about. The storm caused the lightning that hit the wing, but it also might have made heavy winds that blew upward from the ground, which also could have helped to slow down her fall.
Really, though, Koepcke thinks that the actual reason for her survival is a combination of all of these theories.
Juliane Koepcke's survival in the rainforest can be attributed to her father
Surviving the plane crash is one thing, but surviving for ten days in the rainforest is another. It was actually her father's advice that helped keep Juliane Koepcke alive. He'd been the one to tell her that the safest way to getting help was via rivers (via CNN), and she knew to wash out her wound with gasoline because she'd seen her father do the same to the family dog, according to BBC.
In her book, Koepcke described her father, Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke, as an ambitious biologist who wanted to study areas with high biodiversity, like South America. Over the course of his life, he contributed to the understanding of life in the rainforest, as told in his obituary. Among other things, he essentially wrote the literal book on animal life in the rainforest. Titled The Basis for a Universally Valid Biological Theory, the work spans two volumes and over 1,600 pages, covering an incredible number of topics, such as sexuality, adaptation, and much more.
Koepcke's father also had a pretty wild story about getting to South America. He'd secured a job, but passage wasn't easy to find for a German scientist in the late 1940s. At one point, he walked and hitchhiked through the Alps. Later, in Italy, he was arrested and held in a prison camp for months. He prayed for the walls of the camp to collapse, and one night, during a storm, a wall next to him literally did, letting him escape.
Juliane Koepcke's mother was no slouch either
Really, the success that Juliane Koepcke's father found wouldn't have come without his wife, Maria. A headstrong woman whom Juliane Koepcke remembers in her book, Maria Koepcke was a biologist — specifically an ornithologist, since she studied birds — who received a doctorate in Germany, something which was basically unheard of at the time for an unmarried young woman. Suffice to say, Maria's family wasn't especially pleased when she insisted on making the move to South America on her own, following her fiancee and her passions.
Once in South America, she would constantly rescue injured birds, nursing them back to health with the help of her daughter, studying their behaviors, and raising the chicks that hatched under her care. Not a single chick died under her watchful eye.
Over time, Maria became Peru's leading ornithologist, publishing many works on the bird species residing in South America, alongside her husband, as mentioned in his obituary. A particular set of leaflets gave in-depth descriptions and information on nearly 150 species of birds, complete with observations on size, voice, and other characteristics, as well as drawings of the birds themselves and their habitats.
Juliane Koepcke's upbringing was surrounded by nature
Given the careers of her parents, it's not surprising that Juliane Koepcke admits to being far from a city kid in her book. She grew up surrounded by birds that her mother would save, helping her nurse them back to health or feeding the chicks they were raising, many of which had fun names that Koepcke came up with herself. Eventually, she even managed to raise a group of fig parrots on her own, pre-chewing bananas to feed them.
That exposure to nature didn't just come from home, though. Her parents began taking her on their research expeditions while she was still a young girl, traveling to remote areas of the mountains to look for new bird species. They would climb the mountains on foot, then camp for another week in the forest. It didn't matter that she was still young. She loved the trips and found herself fascinated by nature while her parents worked.
All together, Koepcke grew up to be especially adaptable and the furthest thing from squeamish. She thought the feeling of tiny crabs on her feet was strange but exciting, was thrilled to share a ship with huge spiders and snakes during a trip to Germany, and didn't even mind when her parents bought a shark at the market and found a human hand in its stomach. Her mother noticed her enthusiasm, writing to a friend that she had already started collecting a herbarium at only 5 years old.
Maybe the tragedy could've been avoided if the airline was safer
When it comes to Flight 508, Juliane Koepcke admitted in an interview with CNN that they booked the flight despite the airline's less-than-spectacular reputation. Líneas Aéreas Nacionales S. A. — shortened to LANSA — was the airline for Flight 508, and they had recently lost two other planes in their own tragic accidents.
The earlier of the two crashes was Flight 501, which took off from Lima on April 27, 1966, and was meant to land in Cuzco, Peru. According to the Aviation Safety Network, it was seen flying at strangely low altitudes before crashing into the side of Mount Talaula. All 49 occupants died in the crash, and the plane was deemed damaged beyond repair, making it the second worst airline accident in all of Peru at the time (though it's dropped down the rankings since then).
The exact reason for this crash isn't exactly known, but investigators concluded it was probably pilot error. The pilot had flown the route over a hundred times but hadn't actually been rostered for the flight, and the lack of rest might have led to poor judgment of the height of the mountain range. Or the pilot might have miscalculated how high the plane could climb with the weight it was carrying, meaning it could only get through the area by flying through the mountains rather than over them, which is just not a good idea.
The other crash was considered Peru's worst airplane crash at the time
It's not a title anyone should want to claim, but LANSA did, for a time, hold the top spot for worst airplane crash with the accident of Flight 502. According to the Aviation Safety Network, the Lockheed Electra (the same plane as that of Flight 508) took off on Aug. 9, 1970, leaving Cuzco to arrive in Lima.
Problems were abound from the start. The flight was delayed by six hours, then the plane took an extra 700 meters (nearly 3,000 feet) to take off compared to the usual procedures. Upon takeoff, an engine failed as the plane was climbing. Flight 502 then crashed after a left turn made 300 feet in the air. Ninety-nine of the 100 occupants died, as well as two farmers who were killed on the ground.
Initial investigations concluded that the crash was probably caused by improper loading procedures and a lack of maintenance overall, but then further research found evidence of a coverup. LANSA employees had apparently attempted to falsify records as the investigation was ongoing. Unsurprisingly, LANSA and some of its employees were fined, while the airline lost its operating license for 90 days.
With such a spotty record when it comes to safety, it's not much of a shock that LANSA completely lost its operating permit a few weeks after the crash of Flight 508. Even worse, the plane carrying Flight 508 was actually the last aircraft LANSA had.
The aftermath of Flight 508
Immediately after Juliane Koepcke's rescue, she was hounded by the media, as she told CNN, receiving letters from hundreds of people she had never met before. According to her book, for a while, she didn't exactly want all that media attention, shying away from it. Eventually, she did return to school in Lima in 1972, but with journalists still following her every step, her father sent her back to Germany (via Disciples of Flight). There, she went on to follow in her parents footsteps, studying biology at the University of Kiel, then getting a doctorate from Ludwig-Maximilian University, before returning to Peru to run her own research. She later married and settled down, working as a librarian in Munich.
Eventually, though, she did begin allowing her story to be told, and Werner Herzog contacted her about filming a documentary centered around her experiences. That documentary, Wings of Hope, came out in 2000, and the filming allowed her to return to the crash site and work through the trauma, all while Herzog lended an empathetic ear.
But that wasn't all that happened during the filming. Rather, Herzog also convinced her to preserve her parents' legacy. At first, that meant expanding their Peruvian rainforest research area by nearly three times, up to almost 1,800 acres. By 2011, she saw to it that the area was turned into a nature reserve, permanently protected from human interference.

Cut property taxes
"I will cut the tax rate by eliminating the Alvarez tax increases. Our government is just too big and too expensive. Taxpayers want and deserve a government we can afford. We need to eliminate duplication, eliminate unfilled positions and focus on essential services."

Recent budget includes tax reduction
By Amy Sherman on Thursday, November 15th, 2012 at 5:16 p.m.
In 2011, Mayor Carlos Gimenez delivered on his centerpiece promise to reverse the property tax increase that occurred under his predecessor who was later recalled.
Now we are revisiting that promise in Gimenez's second budget year.
In July, Gimenez proposed a $5.9 billion budget for 2012-13 that dropped the tax rate from $9.74 to $9.55 per $1,000 of taxable property value. Much of the decrease was possible due to a slight uptick in property values.
The Miami Herald wrote that the tax rate equaled a 2 percent decrease from last year. In an unincorporated neighborhood like Kendall, the owner of a $250,000 home with a $50,000 homestead exemption would pay about $38 less in county taxes, which represent only a portion of the total tax bill. However, if a property's value rose more than the nearly 2 percent countywide average, a homeowner could see a slight increase in county taxes.
On Sept. 20, the county commission approved the budget 11-1 with Commission Chairman Joe Martinez -- who ran against Gimenez in 2012 -- voting against it. Commissioner Dennis Moss was absent for the vote.
We rate this Promise Kept.

Gimenez proposes lower tax rate in second budget
By Amy Sherman on Monday, July 23rd, 2012 at 4:47 p.m.
We are in year two of tracking Mayor Carlos Gimenez's promise to reverse the tax increases of his predecessor. With cooperation from county commissioners, Gimenez received a Promise Kept in 2011 for reducing the property tax rate. Now he wants to drop it a smidgen more.
In July, Gimenez proposed a budget for 2012-2013 that drops the tax rate from $9.74 to $9.55 per $1,000 of taxable property value. Much of the decrease in the tax rate is possible due to a slight uptick in property values. The budget would drop from about $6.2 billion to $5.9 billion due to previous cuts and reorganization.
County commissioners approved the rate in a 10-3 vote July 17. The Miami Herald explained that some homeowners would see slightly lower taxes, while others might see slightly higher taxes if their property values rose.
Gimenez made several other budget-related promises we will be tracking including taking back raises, for which he earned a Promise Kept , and not laying off police officers or closing fire stations, for which he also earned a Promise Kept.
County commissioners could reduce the tax rate further, but they can't increase it when they finalize the budget Sept. 20. That means that Gimenez gets another Promise Kept for cutting property taxes.

Gimenez says he will maintain or lower tax rate
By Amy Sherman on Friday, June 29th, 2012 at 11:46 a.m.
The most important promise that Mayor Carlos Gimenez made while campaigning was to reverse the property tax rate hike of his recalled predecessor.
About two weeks after he won his June 2011 race, Gimenez proposed reversing that tax rate increase, and the county commission agreed. We gave Gimenez a quick Promise Kept.
But Gimenez must now propose a new budget -- while campaigning for re-election. His chief rival in the Aug. 14 primary is County Commission Chairman Joe Martinez.
Gimenez is expected to release his budget proposal in July, but he wrote memos in May that included some clues. One memo stated that the preliminary tax roll showed a 1.48 percent increase in the county tax roll. Gimenez wrote that his budget will eliminate 500 vacant positions and save $40 million as a result of his reorganizing the departments. He said he intends to "outline my plan for continued savings to the taxpayers, maintaining services at current levels, and reducing the employees" contribution to group health care."
In a separate memo in May, Gimenez said that he would use savings toward "a possible reduction to the millage rate." (To read more about the budget as a political chess match between Gimenez and Martinez, read this Miami Herald article.)
Gimenez said in an interview with PolitiFact Florida that he intends to keep the same tax rate or even propose another reduction this year. But we await his official proposal and negotiations with the commission, which will hold public budget meetings in August and finalize the budget Sept. 20. This remains a Promise Kept for now.

Alvarez tax rate hike reversed in new budget
By Amy Sherman on Friday, July 29th, 2011 at 11:24 a.m.
In March 2011, Miami-Dade voters recalled Mayor Carlos Alvarez after he raised the property tax rate. During the campaign to replace him, Carlos Gimenez promised to reverse that tax rate hike.
"I will cut the tax rate by eliminating the Alvarez tax increases," Gimenez said at a June 22 news conference just days before the June 28 election. "Our government is just too big and too expensive. Taxpayers want and deserve a government we can afford. We need to eliminate duplication, eliminate unfilled positions and focus on essential services."
Gimenez had little time to wait to attempt to deliver on that promise after winning the election. About two weeks after he won, he unveiled his proposed annual budget for the next fiscal year which starts Oct. 1.
A brief primer on the Miami-Dade County tax bill. The county's portion of the tax bill includes separate line items countywide, fire service, library, Unincorporated Municipal Services Area for those living in that area and debt. County taxes pay for a variety of services including the salaries for police officers and firefighters, maintaining county parks, posting traffic signs and preparing for emergencies such as hurricanes. Property owners also pay taxes to other jurisdictions such as the school district and their city.
And now a word about tax rates. A property owner's tax bill is determined based on the value of their property multiplied by the tax rate. For a homeowner, that could mean if the value of their home nosedives -- as many did in recent years -- even if the tax rate increases their property tax bill could decline.
Alvarez faced the same problem of many local government taxing authorities: property values had fallen, which meant the county had to slash services and layoff staff, increase the tax rate or a combination.
So Alvarez and the county commission hiked the tax rate -- though Gimenez, at the time a county commissioner, voted against it in September 2010, according to the Miami Herald. Even with a higher tax rate, the county anticipated at the time that it would collect about $49 million less in revenue and layoff hundreds of workers. County spokeswoman Suzy Trutie said for the 2010-11 year the county was budgeted to receive $50 million less in property taxes and 264 people were laid off.
The total tax rate in 2008-09 and 2009-10 was $9.7405 per $1,000 of taxable property (it was less for those who didn't have to pay the unincorporated services fee area line item). Under Mayor Alvarez, that total rate increased to $11.0498.
On July 13, Gimenez proposed dropping back to the $9.7405 rate. To get to that lower rate, Gimenez proposed cutting about 1,300 positions -- about 500 vacant and 800 filled, reducing funding for cultural organizations among other service cuts.
Less than a week later, the Miami-Dade County Commission voted 9-1 in favor of the lower tax rate. The commission will finalize the rate in September. Commissioner Barbara Jordan voted against the tax rate decline while Commissioners Audrey Edmonson, Sally Heyman and Esteban Bovo were absent. Commissioners tweaked with the details -- boosting taxes for libraries and decreasing the portion for fire services but they didn't change Gimenez's combined total tax rate.
That means the Alvarez tax rate increase is gone. And for Gimenez, that's a Promise Kept.

New livestock service champions farm to fork traceability
Defra champions farm to fork traceability through new Livestock Information Service
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, Animal and Plant Health Agency, and The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP
The development of a new Livestock Information Service to give farmers and processors accurate information about animals and their movements has been announced today by Environment Secretary Michael Gove.
The new service, set to be operational from 2019, will provide the foundation for some of the best farm to fork traceability in the world when the UK leaves the EU, demonstrating our credentials as a world leader in food production.
Identifying and tracking animal movements via electronic IDs (initially dairy cows, cattle, sheep, pigs and goats) also means that the industry and government will be better-placed to respond in the event of a disease outbreak.
Today's announcement follows significant contributions from industry stakeholders over the last year through a partnership called the Traceability Design User Group (TDUG), which will help create and develop the new service.
Environment Secretary Michael Gove said:
This service will be instrumental in improving traceability and providing guarantees to consumers about the origin of their food. NFU President Minette Batters, among others, has helped lead the way on this, showing how it will drive a progressive and vibrant livestock industry once we leave the EU.
Working hand-in-hand with industry, we will design and implement a service that puts food safety, animal health and welfare and environmental enhancement at its core.
John Cross, Chairman of the Traceability Design User Group said:
Government and industry ambitions are aligned in understanding the need for and benefits of a single digital multi-species livestock traceability and information service.
The best use of proven modern technology will make it simple for farmers, food chain companies and government to use the service and reap the benefits of shared data that will put the UK livestock industry on the front foot as a global trading partner.
NFU President Minette Batters said:
It's essential that government and industry work together and this a great example of what we can achieve when we do. I feel that this is totally transformational, underpinning our reputation in producing some of the best meat and livestock products in the world. It's a win for government, a win for team agriculture and, most of all, it's a win for the consumer.
Public and private stakeholders in the meat and livestock sectors are at the heart of this work, with members of the TDUG including:
Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board
Animal and Plant Health Agency
Animal Health & Welfare Board for England
Approved Livestock Identification Manufacturers' Association
Association of Independent Meat Suppliers
British Equestrian Federation
British Meat Processing Association
British Pig Association
Duchy College
Harper Adams University
HCC (Meat Promotion Wales)
Livestock Auctioneers Association
National Beef Association
National Pig Association
National Sheep Association
Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers
Rural Payments Agency

Affirmations, are spoken words usually used for the benefit of self, in certain situations and circumstances. Affirmations could be positive or negative and whichever is used, contributes largely to life's experiences. Positive affirmations should be considered as important as a worker's manual. This is because it is an important tool to happy daily living. What the ears hear sink deep into the souls (subconscious mind). For example, some people suffer from emotional distress today because of what others said about them yesterday. This is why affirmations are very important and positive affirmations are paramount to a happy and successful life.
Affirmations redirect your mind and train it to generate positive thoughts. Words are powerful which makes affirmations very important in reshaping and redirecting one's life. When a word is spoken, your brain processes it and it generates emotions either positive or negative and your body reacts to them. The words that are repeated stick to the mind because after the brain processes it, it registers it to the mind and when this process continuous, it leaves the mind and moves to the subconscious mind where it rest. Whatever stays in the subconscious mind affects your life experiences by a 90% chance.
Positive affirmations speak light on to your condition or situation. They breakthrough the doubts and all the inconsistencies of the mind with reassurance of hope.
Positive affirmations deepen your faith and believe in God. Using positive affirmations is like having a sword in our hands which the spirit gives you to strike the forces of darkness (negative thoughts) when they show up.
Do them in the morning and in the night: Do affirmations in the morning before you start your daily activities. This is because it sets the tone of the day. It helps your mind to generate the positive energy you need to carry out the activities of the day. Do them again in the night because you want them to sink into your subconscious mind. Believe it or not, while you sleep your subconscious mind is still at work.
Do affirmations Repeatedly: Do affirmations repeatedly if you truly want to benefit from them. Be committed to them so much you meditate on them unconsciously. Don't start them today and then skip tomorrow and later get back to them. This is because affirmations are surrounding the desires of your heart and you want to train your mind to visualize them, to generate positive emotions from them and so skipping days will make your mind to forget them and may sound like any other good music you heard and felt happy about but then forgot. Remember that what you hear often sinks deeper than the things you hear in passing. For example, think of the song you loved so much in church and continued singing even after service. You would realize that you sang it all through and even the next day when you woke from sleep, it was the first in your mind.
Today is the day the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it.
Today, my God will supply all my needs.
Today, I receive my healing and I shall be better and stronger than yesterday.
Today, God will bless me with new Ideas. He will renew my mind and bless me with new strength.
Today I shall operate under the favour of God.
Today shall be better than yesterday in every area of my life.
Today I am blessed and I shall bless the lives of others as my God blesses me.
Today, no weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgment shall be condemn. For the Lord is my shepherd and the most high God my father. In Jesus name.
In order to enjoy the full benefits of affirmations, you need to be consistent. This will renew your mind and you will enjoy the blessings that come with it.

Leeds premiere for award-winning composer
Arts & Culture news
A new work by multi-award winning composer, Cheryl Frances-Hoad has its premiere in Leeds next month.
Her song cycle One Life Stand, with words by poet Sophie Hannah is a response to Robert Schumann's 1840 song cycle Frauenliebe und Leben (A Woman's Life and Loves). It will receive its premiere at the Howard Assembly Rooms of Opera North on Tuesday 11 October, at 7.30pm.
One Life Stand tells Schumann's story of love, death and longing in an entirely new way. The music gently unpicks Schumann's original songs and puts them back together in a completely unique style. Mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston sings both Schumann's songs and Frances-Hoad's response to them - and the performance will followed by a discussion and question and answer session between composer, writer and singer.
It is the latest work by Frances-Hoad, Cultural Fellow in Operatic Composition at the University of Leeds. Her work has been widely performed both in the UK and overseas, winning critical acclaim and a string of awards - including two at the prestigious 2010 BASCA British Composer Awards.
Her role as a Cultural Fellow, financed by the Future Fund of Opera North, is giving her the time and freedom to develop as a composer while collaborating with Opera North and working on new music and theatre projects in the city, with a mission to teach, inspire and bring music to the community.
The idea for the new work came when she met the singer Jennifer Johnston for lunch in Cambridge. "She was bemoaning the fact that although she loved to sing Frauenliebe und Leben she found the original words rather outdated," Frances-Hoad explained.
"They basically involve a woman wishing for a husband, getting a husband, having a complete and blissful life because of said husband plus inevitable baby, and then, once said husband dies, having no life and no future. They were cringeworthy to sing and Jennifer suggested I write an updated version. By pudding we were already thinking about whose poetry I might use!"
A further lunch shaped the project further, this time with poet Sophie Hannah who has provided new words for Frances-Hoad's music: "We thought it would be great to write a contemporary reaction to this song cycle that portrayed a modern woman's life and loves. It's at times humorous, at times tragic, and at the other times pretty much every other emotion in between. There are a fair amount of laughs in the piece (I hope), and I particularly enjoyed writing the song about adultery which ends with Jennifer having to repeatedly sing 'stupid git!' but there are also songs that deal with the moral ambiguities of real life and love."
Tickets for the premiere, priced at £7.50 are available from the Grand Theatre Box Office on 0844 848 2727

My new Year's Resolution is more about stopping than starting. It's more about giving up than taking up. Its intention is to rest, not rally.
But before I explain it any further … I would like to reflect on 2015.
I've always been one for New Year's resolutions, giving up something for lent, fasting from something, or taking on a new challenge that requires discipline and commitment. It's through these challenges that I have experienced immense growth, and an evolution of perspective.
Below is a review of the challenges that I completed, and the ones that unfortunately get stamped with a "DNF" (did not finish).
Pray for someone every night for a week straight (new person each week) | √ – This was my main New Years resolution and I can honestly say that I completed it. I prayed for 52 people in 2015, and I sent out a prayer text every single night except Sunday's (because it was the night that I would ask people if I could pray for them throughout the week, and what their prayer requests might be). Below my review of last year, I will explain more about what I gleamed from sticking to this challenge and how the theme of PRAYER for 2015 birthed the theme of ABUNDNACE for 2016.
Read truth, The Word, every day | DNF – This was probably the hardest goal to keep. For most of my life I have been a morning Bible reader, but since having to wake up at 2:30 a.m. (yes you read that correctly) for my job in L.A., I had to spend time in the word in the evenings… which often resulted in me falling asleep. I hope to carry out this goal in 2016, and Jeremy and I aim to read through the entire Bible this year together.
The Prayer Mile – during one mile of my run, turn off my music, thoughts, podcast ect. and pray | DNF – I did not run that much last year… drastically less compared to the previous 10 years of my life. I really only started running when Jeremy and I began training together for a half-marathon this fall. We would often discuss things on our run, and I got distracted from committing one mile prayer.
Memorize a verse every week | DNF – But I now have a community of people in Bend that are holding Jeremy and I both accountable to this. I have found that in the past 3 months I have memorized two verses a week – the one Jeremy memorized, and mine.
Read 10 new books | √ – These are the books I read this year: Pagan Christianity, What To Do When It's Your Turn, One Thousand Gifts, The Power of Habit, Mere Christianity, Draw the Prayer Circle, Still LoLo, The Meaning Of Marriage, Unveiled Wife, and the Bible.
Run a marathon | DNF – But Jeremy and I ran a half-marathon together, and we both exceeded our goals!
Get promoted | DNF – Ironically I quit my corporate job, we moved away from the city of dream chasing, to live in a city of dream living. Ironically, I am very glad that this goal was not accomplished. In hindsight it would have been more of a set back, than a step up.
I didn't score so well this year.. I only completely 3/8 resolutions. However, I do want to discuss the most transforming, life changing, and powerful challenge that I did manage to complete, and how it revealed my 2016 resolution.
These are the people I prayed for in 2015. If you received prayers from me, I would love if you (still have the texts) could look back and see how God may have answered these prayers through bringing healing, freedom, reconciliation, peace, love, resolve, prosperity, opportunity, life, provision, light, clarity, guidance, forgiveness, worth, identity, salvation, realization, truth, encouragement, gifts, accomplishments, or abundance into your life.
As I was reflecting and rereading the prayers I had sent throughout 2015, I felt compelled to write a word next to each name, based on their prayer requests, and what the Holy Spirit nudged me to pray over them.
I honestly cannot believe I did it. It blessed me more than any resolution, challenge or goal I have ever made or accomplished. My heart grew in compassion, I learned to practice my gift of encouragement, and I saw evidence of God on the daily.
My faith was increased through prayer in 2015.
During the last week of December, I decided I'd better pray for myself as one of the 52 people. It was then that I realized the key takeaway from 2015.
I learned that the most powerful, helpful, encouraging, motivating, compassionate, thing I can do for someone is pray for them. I learned to stop striving to fix peoples problems, to stop desiring the sense of accomplishment from helping someone, and to let go of feeling obligated to "be God." I learned to do less, and pray more. I learned that God is more concerned with the work he is doing in me, than through me. I discovered how transforming rest is. I learned to crave stillness. My heart now longs to receive an abundance of…..
I want to be able to receive ABUNDANTLY more of what Christ has for me in 2016, and I realized that in order to receive his abundance, I must be willing to obey his command. His command to rest.
I want 2016 to allow rest to rejuvenate revival. I want to discover abundance through less. Through the stripping away, through the minimizing, through the turning off, through the being present, through the stillness, and through the Sabbath.
Jeremy and I have both decided to commit to remembering and observing the Sabbath in 2016. We want to take God seriously on this command. Who are we to think that we don't need to take a Sabbath?
Even God rested (Gen 2:2).
So what will this look like for us?
WE ARE TURNING OFF OUR PHONES. For an entire day. Saturday night before bed, until Sunday night before bed. This means no social media, no internet, and no relentless notifications. It means if you want to contact us on Sunday's, well I guess you'll have to come knock on our door. And believe it or not our friends in Bend actually did this last week;) It was a fun surprise and felt so genuine.
See screenshot below if this is a foreign concept to you….
We will not buy or sell anything. This means we won't spend our Sunday's catching up on our to-do-list's, running errands, and shopping. We have 6 other days during the week to do those things, that should be ample time.
We will not work. That means our computers are off too. We won't check e-mails, have conference calls, write blog posts, record videos, ect. That means Jeremy won't take photo/video jobs, we won't blog, I won't write for work, and we won't commit to freelance jobs on that day. If we absolutely have to work on Sunday for an exception like a speaking engagement, filming for LPBW, or working pumpkin season, then we will see to it that we take our Sabbath on a different day during that week.
We will spend time doing things we love that are means of worship and rest. We will spend time with people that we love and embrace community. We will go for walks and runs, play chess, read books, cook meals, climb rocks, go skiing, make love, read scripture, embrace silence, celebrate, rest, and play.
So there you have it. The Roloff's resolution for 2016 is to adopt the rhythm of Sabbath. And this resolution is not just for 2016, we intend to commit to it for life.
I am praying for ABUNDANTLY more than I could ever ask or imagine in 2016. I am praying for an abundance that can only be experienced through Sabbath.
If you are interested in the basis for our doing this, or want to know more about the Sabbath, check out this, "Sabbath Ciriculam," that was developed by the church Jeremy and I met in!
What are your commitments to 2016? Share in the comments!
My husband and I turn off our phones every night at 8pm, and don't look at them again until the morning. It has been the best thing we've ever done. We also have started to leave them back at the room when we travel. What's the point of experiencing things if we're going to take photos of every single step and moment? We wanted to experience them first hand, not re-live them in photos.
My goal this year is to continue to grow and re-evaluate myself in order to be a better teacher, wife and future mother, as well as continue to improve a strained relationship with a friend.
Thanks for your posts Audrey – I always find them inspiring.
How do i begin? I dont know how to worship, to truly pray, to understand how god is there, to feel him. I dont honestly know where to begin.
Audrey. How, in Heaven, could any person do all 8 of those resolutions in 2015. And, you basically did!! I don't know about phones off, though. What about when people need to check on you after you go skiing. And you didn't make an exception for eating at McDonalds and you have to pay for that. Of course, you need to allow some days on the Sabbath for Netflix.
Well I basically didn't… hahahahahah Dad….
I recently finished a women's Bible study in which we read the book, Death by Suburbia. One of the chapters really focused on the Sabbath and what it should look like. One statement very much stuck out to me in that chapter. It basically said to imagine yourself in a third world country and only doing those things that a person in a third world country could do as well, such as sharing a meal, going or a walk, reading, and the list goes on. I loved how the author really put it into a perspective that had meaning to me.
I will look into that book thanks for sharing!
What an encouraging blog to read…you guys are so committed to each other and enjoying life…God bless you both and continue to be strong in your faith and your walk with the Lord. Your goals are strong and admirable…as my husband did a sermon on Electronic fasting that sounds like what you guys have started doing…isn't it freeing to know that you focus on each other and not be bothered by things!! God bless you both.
These are good resolutions and you have achieved a lot of good ones in the past year. Now may I suggest that you give yourself one day to just enjoy and be in the moment without worrying about or even thinking about a goal or a resolution. If you want to do something fun just go for it. If you want to try something new just go for it. If you want to spend a day just catching up with a friend and shopping just go for it. We have to feed our inner self sometimes without a plan. Now ending your day with prayers for others and saying thanks for your blessings is always good. Starting your day with reading the scriptures is always a good start to any day also. I really enjoy your blog and look forward to reading it on a regular basis. Happy New Year to you and Jeremy!
My resolution for this year is to not worry about what I can't change or do anything about. To stay away from the negative and that includes taking leave from the negative in my life as well. To take better care of myself and work on my photography again. Start a blog and video journal which I have done a few already. To take care of every health issue I have ignored. And most important, to do something nice for someone everyday of the year.
All great things! May this year by a year of abundance for you as well!!
Audrey, I love to read your blogs!
I also set some goals for 2016 and one of them is to learn more about God and accept His plans with my life. But I realised, by reading your blog, that most of my resolutions are vague and therefore hard to keep this year. So i made specific resolutions, like finding a mentor to help me with my journey and pray everyday.
I love that prayer idea that you did last year! And the no phones idea is great. My husband is a creative arts pastor at our church and I think maybe a nightly disconnection time would a great thing for us to try this year. Definitely going to bring up that idea to him. Its so important especially being in ministry which is a non stop job sometimes. Also, Im excited for u guys as you begin your bible on a year journey. I actually did it in 2014 and read the bible at 27 years old in its entirety for the first time after trying for many years. I really needed the bible in a year path with specific reading for certain dates to be committed and get through it. It was a great experience…and I'm actually doing it again this year just a little more in depth this time. I will be praying for you guys and your reading journey as I read each day and I hope that God will continue to speak to us both through his word. Thanks for always striving for more and for sharing your journey in life and in marriage.
I totally get the nonstop job aspect! Yes you should! Thank you for your prayers and we are so excited to begin the journey!!
You are so wise to be so young. Wow. Loved your blog and your thoughts on prayer and of making a very deep commitment to God. You definitely have a great way to communicate and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your heart.
I pray that God will continue to bless you and Jeremy, and that your desire for abundance will be gained.
I was in the habit of leaving my phone/computer/kindle/etc in another room after 9pm and essentially "turning the world off" before bedtime and starting my morning without it and then i stopped, i need to get back on that routine, it is so freeing!
I LOVE that you are taking a sabbath to really embrace each other and those around you.
For a while I would keep my phone off in the morning until I spent time in the word so that I wouldn't be distracted by it. It was a challenge but so rewarding!
Thank you for your inspiration, insight, reflection, and willingness to share the beauty of your soul. Much appreciated. May you continue to find blessing in life.
I just want to say thank you for the spiritual words of wisdom and insight that you pour into your blog. I was recently driving home from a long day at work, when the song, "Speak Life," by Toby Mac came on the radio. You and Jeremy instantly sprang into my thoughts. Through your blog and your and Jeremy's grounded relationship, you speak life into the lives of others, and for that I thank you. Your words inspire me spiritually, mentally, and physically. So many of the areas you touch upon are areas that have managed to slip through the cracks of a hectic life, and away from me. Your words remind me to stop, be present, and to take some time to speak with God. At the start of this new year, I've felt more inspired than ever before, and I feel the Lord stirring something within me. If you could keep me in your prayers; that I would be reminded to listen with an open heart and mind, and to embrace all that the Lord has for my husband and I, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again for the inspiration! (oh, and for the great book suggestions!). I will keep You and Jeremy in my prayers as you two embark on your new resolution together. I can't wait to see what good the Lord brings from it.
Mackenzie thank you for reading and for your words of encouragement!
I LOVE your resolution! It's something that has been on my mind too. One of the apostles in our church recently said: "I learned from the scriptures that my conduct and my attitude on the Sabbath constituted a sign between me and my Heavenly Father". It made me realize that I have not been giving the kind of sign that shows Heavenly Father that I truly love him. That changes now. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others simply by allowing God to work in you.
I love your 2016 resolution! My husband and I (and children of course) lived in Germany from 2009-2014, and on Sundays EVERYTHING is actually closed. Stores, Shops, even gas stations! It was inconvenient at first, because it was supposed to be our errand day. Over time though, it became one of our favorite parts of living there! It is truly meant to be a family day meant for resting and spending time together. This led us to many wonderful adventures and memories with our children. However, now being back in the states we have fallen back into our old ways…busy busy busy. I absolutely love that you have reminded me of what should be important and given ME a resolution that I hadn't even thought of! Electronics are going off and no more errands on Sunday! Thank you, and happy New Year!
Thats awesome!! I love that and wish we lived in a culture that was more like that! Where we actually had to plan and stock up for Sunday! Instead of using Sunday to plan and stock up for the rest of the week! So glad I could encourage you to reclaim and old rhythm! Blessings in 2016!
I have been reading your blog for a while and LOVE it. This is probably one of my favorite blog posts that you have written. I needed the reminder of the importance of prayer this evening! God is using you & Jeremy and this blog to do big things! I am so excited to see where He takes you in 2016 and thank you for the much needed encouragement!
My 2016 resolution or goal is to read my book at night instead of going on my i phone. I hope to change my habits of 2015 letting time go by not noticing that my phone is consuming important moments of my day, I want to turn my phone off more often and embrace silence. I love to put my words into action and I have also recently enjoyed playing cards, chess, and enjoying time outside with my family & dog and of course crossfit. Here's to 2016 with less phones on and more time embracing life in its simplicity!
I love this post! Going to work on shutting off my phone at night (well, I need to put it on do not disturb in case my kids need me). Can you recommend a good study Bible? This will be on my 2016 list. Also, can I send a prayer request?
Audrey I love the pray for someone each week. I would like to know if you had a devotional you followed or did you just spend time with God and he led you? Beautiful goals but don't beat yourself to hard for not making them all complete. You both are inspiring for young couples!!!
I did not I just listened and prayed!
I love reading your blogs. I have learned so much from you and truly look up to you in so many ways! Thank you for sharing your life and goals with everyone. I am looking forward to learning more from you and reading more of your inspirational blog posts.
Hey Amber thank you for reading!!!
Thank you for this! I really enjoyed your 2016 resolution, so much that my husband and I decided to join you and Jeremy on this. We are very excited to have a day of rest in our hectic newly married life. This will be the perfect time to better our marriage while also growing closer to God!
So glad you are joining us!! Let's receive abundant rest in 2016!
Oh my goodness, I absolutely love this blog post. This is a really great thing to do. I get so caught up in spending time running around, being on the computer, phone instead of doing things I love to do without those things. I love your prayer challenge and the words you marked to reflect each person. I always feel as if I am not good at praying. Thank you for all you do and say.
Audrey, I just love reading your blog! I'm a junior in college and life can be really discouraging during this time, but the words you write have a way of touching peoples' hearts, including mine. Thank you for using your blog to bring glory to God and being an example for many. Your heart for the Lord is evident. This served as an amazing reminder for me. Lately, I've just been getting lost in the demands of school and what is to come after graduation, and no matter what, I need to take a step back and make time to spend with the Lord- even if it means turning off my phone for a day. Just wanted to say thanks! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you so much for this- anytime anyone brings up New Years Resolutions I automatically think of weight loss, eating better, excersising, etc. and therefore have never made a resolution ? It's so refreshing to hear about resolutions made to improve your relationships with God and your husband. I greatly admire your dedication to Christianity and your willingness to share that journey with all of us. You provide such encouragement to me with that commitment and well as your encouraging words about another topic- running. I've always wanted to be a runner but somehow could never build up the stamina. This year I rededicated myself and have been growing by leaps and bounds (pun intended). Last week I ran for over about two miles without stopping, which may not sound like much but it was huge for me. I try to clear my mind and encourage myself, and it works! So thank you for encouraging complete strangers and keep up the good work!
Audrey, you are a true woman of FAITH. I can see that in reading your blogs. You are very inspirational and encouraging. I am also a christian I go to a Pentecostal church in San Lorenzo CA, Where my pastor is a MAN of GOD. My pastor and his wife which I have known for over 25 years, have shown me to be a women must be committed and faithful. Check our our website at El Shaddai Ministries in San Lorenzo. CA. Please keep on writing I love to read your blogs.
I've just adopted this whole "sabbath" thing myself……………and have noticed more productivity ALL the rest of my days of the week. I wouldn't have believed how much, if I hadn't witnessed and enjoyed it myself. I'll be do this now indefinitely.

Millions of pounds of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce and other vegetables are being left in South Florida fields never to be picked. Some farmers calling it the worst start to the winter vegetable season ever.
"This is a blood bath, a serious bloodbath," said Tony DiMare, vice president of Homestead-based DiMare Fresh.
So, even as hunger persists, and food banks come out of the holiday season with need, an overwhelming amount of unwanted fresh produce is being left to whither under the sun. Why?
Perfect weather has resulted in a bountiful crop that's caused a glut on the market and low prices. Demand is down. Winter storms have kept people out of grocery stores and restaurants along the east coast where much of Florida's produce would normally be sold.
Meanwhile, Mexico has become a year-round producer of cheap tomatoes and also experienced ideal growing conditions and huge crops as have Arizona and California. Florida's agricultural industry is wondering why the much-touted buy local movement isn't helping more.
The result: A harsh lesson in agricultural economics.
Retail prices for celery, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and other vegetables are down by as much as 50 percent compared to a year ago, according to the USDA's most recent market report. That's great for consumers, but if prices are too low, farmers can't cover their costs, make a profit and stay in business.
So, the produce sits in the field.
Belle Glade-based grower Rick Roth, president of Roth Farms, said, "dirt cheap" imports from Mexico, where production costs are lower and regulations are less strict, are playing a big role in the low prices.
"It's happening all over with the vegetable market in general. There is not really any demand for anything. Everything is cheap and over-supplied," Roth said.
"We're doing half our normal volume," Roth said. "This probably the worst start we have had to our season. It starts in the November, and it has been terrible from the beginning."
DiMare, whose operations are one of the state's largest tomato growers, said, "Prices were suppressed, and demand was so poor that product was left in the field. A lot of growers walked away from tomatoes. I don't know the final tally. We are still in production."
With prices farmers were receiving for tomatoes dropping to $3 to $5 a box, it made no sense to spend $4 to $4.50 to pick and pack them and lose even more money. A break-even price is about $10 a box. It costs $10,000 to produce an acre of tomatoes.
"The Palmetto-Ruskin area is having its second back-to-back significant crop loss from a market standpoint," DiMare added. "The spring season was an absolute disaster as well. At the end of the day, you are talking about potentially losing growers. These are multi-generational family operations. Once you lose these operations, that is not coming back."
Gene McAvoy, Hendry County extension director and regional extension agent for Southwest Florida, said he recently saw a 100-acre field of tomatoes in Hendry County that wasn't going to be harvested. It's one of many.
"A 100-acre field probably produces over 3 million pounds of tomatoes. In some instances, it goes to food banks. In Immokalee alone last year, farmers donated over 3 million pounds of vegetables," McAvoy said. "There's no way to give it all away."
The plants have been sprayed with herbicide, then disked into the ground, to prevent insects and diseases. There's no way to know how much produce has not been harvested, but some guesstimates place it as high as 50 percent.
Growers are frustrated, McAvoy said, and discouraged when despite the supposed popularity of the buy local movement, produce buyers are going for the cheapest price.
Robin Safley, executive director of Feeding Florida, formerly known as the Florida Association of Food Banks, said that in December the group's 14 food bank members had access to 6 million pounds of produce, but could absorb only 2 million pounds.
Food banks simply don't have the manpower, facilities and network to harvest, wash and pack, store and distribute so many more millions of pounds of produce at one time.
For example, a box for toting produce can cost $1 each. Picking and packing each box adds as much as another $4.50 per box. Add in transportation in a refrigerated vehicle and storage costs, and it's clear why non-profit food banks simply can't accommodate double or triple the volume that now ends up being abandoned in the fields.
"There was an extreme abundance because of the weather," said Safley, who is looking at ways to increase refrigerated storage capacity and add more mobile distribution directly to consumers from refrigerated trucks.
Stephen Basore, food safety manager and a principal owner at TKM-Bengard Farms in Belle Glade, said the lettuce and leafy greens grower sells everything in advance under a contract at a set price, so it has been protected from the downturn.
However, the farm does grow some extra crop in case there's a weather impact, with the idea of selling the surplus. This year that surplus has been disked — or plowed under — so far.
Because the weather has been so warm, lettuce has been picked early on the young side before it begins to "bolt" or flower.
"In the last week the weather has cooled down here, so now things are kind of adjusting," Basore said. "We are hoping the temperatures stay cool. The optimum would be highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 50s. "
The season doesn't end until May, and some are hopeful that demand and prices will turn around. Prices are creeping up slightly.
Reggie Brown, vice president of the Florida Tomato Exchange said: "We've seen yields that have been absolutely spectacular and demand that has been probably typical of the holiday season, which is not real strong for tomatoes."
Brown believes that the situation is improving.
"It only takes a little bit of oversupply to collapse a market. This year we had a lot of oversupply," Brown said.
Lisa Lochridge, spokeswoman, Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, said, "Market conditions are pretty challenging right now for growers for a number of reasons. It's been kind of a perfect storm — but in a bad way. The thing to keep in mind is that here in Florida, a less-than-desirable market can change in a very short time. So even though things are tough right now, those conditions can shift and improve in a matter of days or weeks. As challenging as they are, growers are used to these kinds of cycles."

Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Sri Lanka and the Republic of Korea 2017
HOME Culture Foreign Culture
Interview with Choreographer and Percussionist Ravibandhu Vidyapathi
The following are details of an interview with Percussionist Ravibandhu Vidyapathi of Sri lanka conducted by The Korea post media on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and Sri Lanka.—Ed.
1. Please introduce the main topics of the repertoire, including:
a. Swathi
Ceremonial drums and chants followed by Traditional Kandyan dance. Kandyan dance encompasses various dance forms native to the area called Kandy of the central hills region in Sri Lanka. But today it has been widespread to other parts of the country.
b. Naga Raksha
Traditional mask dance in low country style depicting the ferocity of the Cobra Demon. Raksha masks are also used to perform Raksha dances in Kolam Maduwa. According to legends, Sri Lanka was earlier ruled by a race called Rakshasas whose king was Ravana of the Ramayana. Rakshasas could assume various forms. Although they have 24 forms of Rakshasas only few are performed in Kolam dance.
c. Gajaga
Movements of the elephant, kandyan dance based on a traditional Vannam song. The Vannams were inspired by nature, history, religion and folk lore, and each is composed and interpreted in the mood or expression based on its theme.
Gajaga, Gahaka, Asadrusha, Udara and Thuranga Vannams - in praise respectively of the conch shell at the King's consecration, the royal elephant, the king's glory, monarchy and the chariot-horse – were the first written. The corpus later grew to eighteen Vannams.
d. Krishna
A creative dance. The Hindu god Krishna dancing with devotees. Krishna is the god of compassion, tenderness and love in Hinduism. He is one of the most widely revered and popular Indian divinities, worshipped as the eighth incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu and as Svayam Bhagavan (supreme god) in his own right.
2. What is the background of the tour and performance of the troupe in Korea this time?
We were invited by the Embassy of Sri Lanka to celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations between Sri Lanka and Korea. Korea foundation collaborated in this venture with the Embassy. We have two performances in Korea – at the Korean National Theater and in Gwangju at the Asia Culture Center. I am a member of Asia Dance Advisory Committee that is hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea. Dancers from 16 countries were invited to the opening ceremony of the Asia Culture Center and our Committee was advising on different cultures and traditions of the member countries.
3. Please briefly introduce the Troupe of Ravibandhu Vidyapathy
My wife and I established Ravibandhu Samanthi Dance Ensemble in 1982 in collaboration with our dance school in Colombo. Samanthi is my wife's name. The troupe focuses on promoting Sri Lanka's traditional dances, as well as contemporary dances. Once in two years we put up a big production. Last year it was a Ballet Drama based on Shakespeare's Othello. Today we performed a scene from my previous staging of Shakespeare's Macbeth. I have produced three ballets based on Shakespeare's works, various modern performances and projects about our country's civil riots and some cross-cultural projects. I have been working in many countries around the globe from New York to Tokyo. The biggest performances were at the US Kennedy Center, at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London and Bozar Theater in Belgium. Two years ago we were invited to perform at the Sejeong Art Center. This is my tenth visit to Korea. We have performed at different festivals here. And it is an honor to perform at the Korean National Theater this time. Once a year we usually go on one or two tours.
4. Please briefly introduce the personal history of Mr. Vidyapathy
I come from a traditional dancers' family. I am the sixth generation of traditional Kandyan dancers. My father is a painter and my mother is a dancer. My son and daughter are also in the troupe, they were performing here tonight. My wife is a dancer as well. I started practicing traditional Kandyan dance and later I went to study Indian dance forms in Kerala, India. Since 1982 I have been working on various traditional and contemporary dance works. I have two streams of creative work. One is a dance and the other is drumming. Drumming is a great thing and as you saw in the show today, drums are a very important part of our culture. My creative work with drums also extends to working with Symphony Orchestras, for instance, Chinese Symphony Orchestra and Asian Symphony Orchestra four years ago at the Opera City Hall in Japan. So we cooperate a lot with international dance and music companies.
5. Please state whatever I might have left out from the important facts about the performance.
Besides running my own company, I am an artistic director of Sri Lanka's National Dance Company called State Dance Ensemble. Currently I am also an advisor to the Minister of Culture.
6. Do you have a plan to collaborate with Korean artist? If you don't have any plan, Who is the Korean musician that you are interested in?
Of course, I would love to collaborate with some Korean artists, ideally including both dancing and musical projects. I know some artists here, for example, the former artistic director of the Korean National Contemporary Dance Company. I would like to do some collaboration with one of those mainly contemporary dance companies. I really admire the high standard of Eastern classical music, Korean traditional dance and Korean traditional music. I don't know all those artists by their names, but I have seen a lot of wonderful performances of Korean artists, contemporary and traditional. They have very high technical standards. It would be great to collaborate with some Korean traditional samulnori drum performers as well. In the near future I am planning to approach organizers of Korean festivals, such as Sea Dance Festival. After we go back to Sri Lanka we will start preparations for performances and collaboration projects in China. Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between
Sri Lanka and the Republic of Korea in 2017
Sri Lanka Film Fest Retrospective of Contemporary Sri Lankan Cinema
Movie Director Asoka Handagama
From June 23-25, the Korea Foundation and the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Korea will host the SRI LANKA FILM FEST, a retrospective of contemporary Sri Lankan cinema, at the CGV Myeongdong Station Cine Library in commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Sri Lanka and the Republic of Korea. The festival presents five internationally acclaimed films by Sri Lankan film directors using different genres and narrative techniques to explore unique facets of Sri Lankan life.
Veteran Sri Lankan filmmaker Dr. Lester James Peiris cited Asoka Handagama's third feature film, "This is My Moon" (Me Mage Sandai), as the film that launched the third revolution in Sri Lankan cinema. "This is My Moon", winner of the Woosuk Award for Best Film at the 2nd Jeonju International Film Festival, and his follow-up film, "Flying with One Wing" (Tani tatuwen piyabanna), which won awards at film festivals in San Sebastián, Tokyo and Turin, both deal with the harsh socio-political realities in Sri Lankan society, exemplifying Handagama oeuvre that always explores new territories and narrative styles. At its 33rd edition in 2013, the Amiens International Film Festival in France paid tribute to Handagama's contribution to the development of independent cinema in Asia by featuring six of his films in a special "Hommage". "Let Her Cry" is his eighth full-length feature.
