New music and interviews with artists' that touch your soul
Breaking down musical ingredients with Cookin' On 3 Burners
Cookin' On 3 Burners have been a staple of the Australian music scene since their first release in 2000. Hailing from Melbourne, the Hammond trio has collaborated with the likes of Daniel Merriweather, Kylie Auldist, Jason Heerah and many more.
The ensemble has consistently released quality music with a mix of soul and jazz sounds reminiscent of the 1960s. But more recently, the group has reached another level with the runaway success of their collaboration with French house producer Kungs. The Kungs remix of the Cookin' On 3 Burners 2009 release 'This Girl' featuring Kylie Auldist reached number 1 on the UK dance charts while amassing 46 million views and counting on YouTube. We chat to producer/writer/artist and Hammond playing extraordinaire Jake Mason about influences, the 'this girl remix' and more. Victor McMillan writes
60's Soul has been a major influence on your sound, what is it about this style of music that you appreciate?
Wow, all of it. I've listen to a lot of that of that stuff and been inspired by it, from all its different sub genres. From the more Hammond inspired stuff to the more straight ahead pop girl group inspired style to the more film soundtrack style stuff. It's all very influential and its music that I just really love.
Who are some of your favourite artists from that era?
It's probably like they're all my favourite artists (laughs). Definitely Cookin' On 3 Burners has got its roots based in the Hammond Trio situation, a lot of the Hammond stuff and even some of the instrumental stuff. Booker T & the MG's, Jimmy Smith and some of the jazzier guys, Richard Groove Holmes, a bunch of those guys I definitely got inspired by personally. Cookin' On 3 Burners as a whole group probably got more inspiration from The Meters and those kind of groups as well I suppose.
The Kungs remix of this girl has taken off recently, how did that collaboration come about?
It just literally came out of the blue, he got in contact with us and had found our 'This Girl' track and said look how would you guys feel about me doing a faster version of it with some tweaks and he did a little mock up of it and sent it to us. We were like yeah that sounds pretty cool and we worked out a bit of a deal and sent him the stems or the multi-track basically and he had free range to get amongst it and do his version of it.
I guess as opposed to some just sampling your music, it was interesting that he contacted you to get the stems instead.
Yeah I mean we like that as well because our song kind of stayed intact. A lot of the times when things get remixed it can take the song to a different context and can take some of the song out of the song so to speak. This version, I mean there are some things that he has taken out, but it still feels very much like 'This Girl' as the song when we wrote it. So we are really pleased that it's kept its spirit so to speak.
Definitely, and it has also given it new life, It was originally released in 2009.
For sure, and putting us in a different spot, you know. I mean obviously we're a Hammond trio soul kind of band, we're not in the pop world really, maybe if we were living in the 60's again we might be (laughs). We are definitely really pleased that we can have something that crosses over and can be in the middle of the pop world as well as us doing our thing, you know.
And keeping your sound as well…
Yeah man, so these collaborations are awesome for us. We've done a bunch of different other ones with a couple of artists, we are working with Mantra at the moment and some other crew like Tex Perkins whose got more of a gravelly rock voice so lots of different inspiration that we are getting from working with different crew and that's kind of putting a different theme on our sound so that's kinda cool as well.
You play the Hammond organ, for those that don't know, what makes it unique and why is it your instrument of choice?
Well, definitely what makes it unique is that it's really heavy (laughs) and its sort of a drag to bring it along to the gigs but nah, the Hammond organ is pretty unique in this situation because I'm covering the bass-lines as well as the chords and the melodies with the guitar. I guess from a normal band perspective I'm covering the role of what the bass player and the keyboardist are doing at the same time. That kind of does change things a lot, having a unit that's a lot more intertwined I guess, there's only three people to make decisions rather than four. It's really cool from that musical perspective but to have it all on this very wide pallet of colours, from the low 'bassy' sounds to screaming kind of high stuff to mellow chords or just lots of percussion things you can do. It's a pretty open pallet of colours, which is, that's why I love it, you can do so many different things with it.
For anyone who hasn't been to a Cookin' On 3 Burners live show, what can they expect?
Sure, well usually we like to warm everyone up with some instrumentals and that's just a trio kind of thing and the instrumentals we do are mostly instrumentals we've written in that kind of 60s style mixed with some break beat stuff so we do get some b-boys and some b-girls down doing some stuff to our tunes which is cool. We kind of mix it up between some break beat and some funky stuff and then usually we have a guest, whether it's a female vocalist or a male vocalist or a hip-hop artists and that usually comes on to the middle part of the show and we showcase a bunch of our tunes and then depending on who the guest is we do one or two of their tunes and then it always ends in a kind of big bang.
What Stimulates Your Soul?
Just great music, something that you connect with, especially if it's live. If I'm at a gig and checking a crew out and it's just on or it's just great that stimulates my soul and I get super inspired and feel great.
Catch Cookin' On 3 Burners at Newtown Social Club on the 22nd July. Tickets are $25 online or $30 on the door and can purchased here.

Hillary Clinton on Gun Control
Democratic Jr Senator (NY); Secretary of State-Designee
Balance lawful gun ownership & keeping guns from criminals
Q: Both you and Sen. Obama, in the past, have supported strong gun control measures. But now when I listen to you on the campaign, I hear you emphasizing that you believe in an individual's right to bear arms. Both of you were strong advocates for licensing of guns. Both of you were strong advocates for the registration of guns. Why don't you emphasize that now?
CLINTON: I respect the Second Amendment. I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns, but I also believe that most lawful gun owners whom I have spoken with for many years across our country also want to be sure that we keep those guns out of the wrong hands. And as president, I will work to try to bridge this divide, which I think has been polarizing and, frankly, doesn't reflect the common sense of the American people. We will strike the right balance to protect the constitutional right but to give people the feeling & the reality that they will be protected from guns in the wrong hands. Source: 2008 Philadelphia primary debate, on eve of PA primary Apr 16, 2008
Give local police access to federal gun tracking info
I will be a good partner, for cities like Philadelphia, as president. Because I will bring back the so-called COPS program, where we had 100,000 police on the street, which really helped drive down the crime rate and also helped create better community relations.
I will also work to reinstate the assault weapons ban. We had it during the 1990s. It really was an aid to our police officers, who are now once again, because it has lapsed--the Republicans will not reinstate it--are being outgunned on our streets by these military-style weapons.
I will also work to make sure that police departments get access to the federal information that will enable them to track illegal guns, because the numbers are astounding. Probably 80% of the guns used in gun crimes got there illegally. And under the Republicans, that information was kept from local law enforcement. Source: 2008 Philadelphia primary debate, on eve of PA primary Apr 16, 2008
Let states & cities determine local gun laws
Q: Do you support the DC handgun ban?
A: I want to give local communities the authority over determining how to keep their citizens safe. This case you're referring to is before the Supreme Court.
Q: But what do you support?
A: I support sensible regulation that is consistent with the constitutional right to own and bear arms.
Q: Is the DC ban consistent with that right?
A: I think a total ban, with no exceptions under any circumstances, might be found by the court not to be. But DC or anybody else [should be able to\ come up with sensible regulations to protect their people.
Q: But do you still favor licensing and registration of handguns?
A: What I favor is what works in NY. We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they're going to try to impose, I think doesn't make sense. Source: 2008 Philadelphia primary debate, on eve of PA primary Apr 16, 2008
Against illegal guns, crack down on illegal gun dealers
I am against illegal guns, and illegal guns are the cause of so much death and injury in our country. I also am a political realist and I understand that the political winds are very powerful against doing enough to try to get guns off the street, get them out of the hands of young people. I don't want the federal government preempting states and cities like New York that have very specific problems. We need to have a registry that really works with good information about people who are felons, people who have been committed to mental institutions. We need to make sure that that information is in a timely manner, both collected and presented. We do need to crack down on illegal gun dealers. This is something that I would like to see more of. We need to enforce the laws that we have on the books. I would also work to reinstate the assault weapons ban. We now have, once again, police deaths going up around the country, and in large measure because bad guys now have assault weapons again. Source: 2008 Democratic debate in Las Vegas Jan 15, 2008
Backed off a national licensing registration plan on guns
I believe in the Second Amendment. People have a right to bear arms. But I also believe that we can common-sensically approach this, and backed off a national licensing registration plan. Source: 2008 Democratic debate in Las Vegas Jan 15, 2008
Get assault weapons & guns off the street
Q: How would you address gun violence that continues to be the #1 cause of death among African-American men?
A: I think it's important to remember that the crime rate was driven down, & gun violence was driven down in the 1990s because of a combination of policies, like 100,000 police on the street and getting assault weapons off the street, and because of a growing economy. 22 million new jobs gave people who were hopeless a better chance for a future. So I want to get back to what works. This administration has tried to kill the 100,000 police. You've got mayors whose police force is outgunned by the criminals and the gang-bangers. Assault weapons are back on the street. We've got to go and do what works again. In addition to having policies that will get guns off the street, we do have to give young men particularly a better chance of a future that includes educational & economic opportunities & second chances when they get caught up in the criminal justice system.

Background check system could prevent Virginia Tech massacre
Q: Did any role that federal government plays fail those students at Virginia Tech?
A: Yes. You know, I remember very well when I accompanied Bill to Columbine after that massacre and met with the family members of those who had been killed and talked with the students, and feeling that we had to do more to try to keep guns out of the hands of the criminal and of the mentally unstable. And during the Clinton administration, that was a goal--not to, in any way, violate people's Second Amendment rights, but to try to limit access to people who should not have guns. Unfortunately, we saw the tragedy unfold at Virginia Tech. We now know that the background check system didn't work, because certainly this shooter, as he's called, had been involuntarily committed as a threat to himself and others. And, yet, he could walk in and buy a gun. Source: 2007 South Carolina Democratic primary debate, on MSNBC Apr 26, 2007
FactCheck: VA Tech shooter not declared a danger to others
Hillary Clinton slipped up in her description of the Virginia Tech killings, overstating what a Virginia court had found about the shooter's mental state in 2005. Clinton said the shooter "had been involuntarily committed as a threat to himself & others. And, yet, he could walk in and buy a gun."
That's only half true. It's correct that Seung-hui Cho had a court-documented history of mental illness that should have precluded his purchase of a firearm. And he was indeed found to present "an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness" in a ruling dated December 14, 2005. But the Judge did not check a box that would have declared Cho "an imminent danger to others." Moreover, the judge declined to involuntarily commit Cho and sent him to outpatient counseling. Clinton's confusion on this might stem from bad reporting by some news outlets that said Cho was found to be a danger to himself and others. Source: FactCheck.org on 2007 South Carolina Democratic debate Apr 26, 2007
Congress' failure at Littleton response inspired Senate run
A month after the Columbine shootings, Bill & I went to Littleton Colorado to visit with the families of victims & survivors. The Columbine tragedy was not the first, nor the last, episode involving gun violence at an American high school. But it ignited a call for more federal action to keep guns out of the hands of the violent, troubled and young--a lethal combination. Bill and I announced a proposal to raise the legal age of handgun ownership to 21, and limit purchases of handguns to one per month.

Keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them
We need to stand firm on behalf of sensible gun control legislation. We have to enact laws that will keep guns out of the hand of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced persons. Congress should have acted before our children started going back to school. I realize the NRA is a formidable political group; but I believe the American people are ready to come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. Source: www.hillary2000.org, "Gun Safety" Sep 9, 2000
Limit access to weapons; look for early warning signs
We have to make sure that our schools are safe. Our schools need more help from parents and from communities, and we also need more social workers and counselors who are trained to see the early warning signs. No school security system or metal detector can keep out the culture of violence that dominates the lives of so many of our children. We have to address issues of culture, and we have to ensure that young people do not have easy access to weapons; not only firearms but bomb making material. Source: www.hillary2000.org, "Safe Schools" Sep 9, 2000
License and register all handgun sales
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. "I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun," Clinton said. "I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing." Source: CNN.com Jun 2, 2000
Tough gun control keeps guns out of wrong hands
I think it does once again urge us to think hard about what we can do to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced people. I hope we will come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who have no business with them. Source: Press Release Jul 31, 1999
Gun control protects our children
We will not make progress on a sensible gun control agenda unless the entire American public gets behind it. It is really important for each of you [kids] to make sure you stay away from guns. If you have guns in your home, tell your parents to keep them away from you and your friends and your little brothers and sisters. Source: Forum at South Side Middle School in Nassau County Jul 15, 1999
Don't water down sensible gun control legislation
We have to do everything possible to keep guns out of the hands of children, and we need to stand firm on behalf of the sensible gun control legislation that passed the Senate and then was watered down in the House. It does not make sense for us at this point in our history to turn our backs on the reality that there are too many guns and too many children have access to those guns-and we have to act to prevent that. Source: Remarks to NEA in Orlando, Florida Jul 5, 1999
Lock up guns; store ammo separately
If you own a gun... make sure it's locked up and stored without the ammunition. In fact, make it stored where the ammunition is stored separately. We've made some progress in the last several years with the Brady Bill and some of the bans on assault weapons, but we have a lot of work to do. Source: ABC's "Good Morning America" Jun 4, 1999
Ban kids' unsupervised access to guns
Q: What actions can students take to help gun control further? A: Young people, especially teenagers, [should pledge] to not give any child unsupervised access to a firearm; not to go into homes, or let your younger siblings go into homes where you know guns are and are not safely stored and taken care of. You guys are going to a party, make sure there are no guns around. If you own a gun or you know people who do, make sure it's locked up and stored without the ammunition. Source: ABC's "Good Morning America" Jun 4, 1999
Get weapons off the streets; zero tolerance for weapons
The first step is to take weapons off the streets and to put more police on them. The Brady Bill, which my husband signed into law in 1995, imposes a 5-day waiting period for gun purchases, time enough for authorities to check out a buyer's record and for the buyer to cool down about any conflict he might have intended the gun to resolve. Since it was enacted, more than 40,000 people with criminal records have been prevented from buying guns. The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act banned 19 types of military-style assault weapons whose only purpose is to kill people.
As part of a "zero tolerance" policy for weapons, drugs, and other threats to the safety of teachers and students, the President signed an executive order decreeing that any student who comes to school with a gun will be expelled and punished as a condition of federal aid. Source: It Takes A Village, by Hillary Clinton, p.126 Sep 25, 1996
Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
A bill to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. Voting YES would:
Exempt lawsuits brought against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime
Exempt lawsuits against actions that result in death, physical injury or property damage due solely to a product defect
Call for the dismissal of all qualified civil liability actions pending on the date of enactment by the court in which the action was brought
Prohibit the manufacture, import, sale or delivery of armor piercing ammunition, and sets a minimum prison term of 15 years for violations
Require all licensed importers, manufacturers and dealers who engage in the transfer of handguns to provide secure gun storage or safety devices
Reference: Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act; Bill S 397 ; vote number 2005-219 on Jul 29, 2005
Voted NO on banning lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun violence.
Vote to pass a bill that would block certain civil lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, dealers and importers of firearms and ammunition, mainly those lawsuits aimed at making them liable for gun violence. In this bill, trade groups would also be protected The bill would call for the dismissal of pending lawsuits against the gun industry. The exception would be lawsuits regarding a defect in a weapon or ammunition. It also would provide a 10-year reauthorization of the assault weapons ban which is set to expire in September 2004. The bill would increase the penalties for gun-related violent or drug trafficking crimes which have not resulted in death, to a minimum of 15 years imprisonment. The bill calls for criminal background checks on all firearm transactions at gun shows where at least 75 guns are sold. Exemptions would be made available for dealers selling guns from their homes as well as members-only gun swaps and meets carried out by nonprofit hunting clubs. Reference: Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act; Bill S.1805/H.R.1036 ; vote number 2004-30 on Mar 2, 2004
Prevent unauthorized firearm use with "smart gun" technology.
Clinton adopted the manifesto, "A New Agenda for the New Decade":
Make America the "Safest Big Country" in the World
After climbing relentlessly for three decades, crime rates started to fall in the 1990s. Nonetheless, the public remains deeply concerned about the prevalence of gun violence, especially among juveniles, and Americans still avoid public spaces like downtown retail areas, parks, and even sports facilities.
We need to keep policing "smart" and community-friendly, prohibiting unjust and counterproductive tactics such as racial profiling; focus on preventing as well as punishing crime; pay attention to what happens to inmates and their families after sentencing; use mandatory testing and treatment to break the cycle of drugs and crime; and enforce and strengthen laws against unsafe or illegal guns. Moreover, we need a renewed commitment to equal justice for all, and we must reject a false choice between justice and safety.
Technology can help in many areas: giving police more information on criminal suspects so they do not rely on slipshod, random stop-and-search methods; allowing lower-cost supervision of people on probation or parole; and making it possible to disable and/or trace guns used by unauthorized persons.
Above all, we need to remember that public safety is the ultimate goal of crime policy. Until Americans feel safe enough to walk their neighborhood streets, enjoy public spaces, and send their children to school without fear of violence, we have not achieved public safety.
Reduce violent crime rates another 25 percent.
Cut the rate of repeat offenses in half.
Develop and require "smart gun" technology to prevent use of firearms by unauthorized persons and implement sensible gun control measures.
Ban racial profiling by police but encourage criminal targeting through better information on actual suspects.
Require in-prison and post-prison drug testing and treatment of all drug offenders.

Do you have a child who will be attending prom this year? It's always an amazing experience for students who have worked hard and gotten all the way through school to have one fantastic send off into whatever awaits them in the world. If your child is looking at going to prom this year, you might be wondering just how you can do prom on a budget. Here are some fantastic suggestions to help you and your child do prom on the cheap.
Helping your child make their own accessories or corsages is never a bad idea and can be an immensely fun activity to help you two bond. After all, if they're planning to go off to college or university soon, it's likely that bonding moments will become few and far between, so cherish them while you can! Use artificial flowers for the opportunity to keep the corsage or hair pieces you make after the prom party, for use as general decor or for fancier outings or holiday parties.
While it sounds silly to rent something instead of buying it, people have been doing it for a long time. Most guys in fact rent tuxedos instead of buying them as tuxes are one of those things that are costly and you rarely wear unless you're some kind of socialite constantly going to fancy ballroom kinds of parties. Renting a tuxedo is considered a massive savings when compared to the full price of buying one new.
When it comes to long prom dresses though, buying is best. There's not typically a place to rent prom dresses in many areas, especially considering a prom dress is something a girl wants to have and hold and be hers forever. Cheap prom dresses online is a great way to save money on gorgeous, quality dresses your daughter will cherish.
When it comes to huge expenses, cutting corners on things that are 'nice to have' is a necessity in order to save money. Of course every child wants the dream prom experience, but sometimes it just isn't possible and they have to make decisions on things they want. Limousine transport is one such expense that is a luxury and not a necessity, and so it can be cut, along with professional makeup and nails, and possibly even hair if you know someone who is happy to do the hair for you for cheap or free.
Prom season is always an exciting time for teens and students when they get to have a huge celebration in their honour with glitzy clothes, dancing and dinners. It can be hugely fun but also a massive drain on the parents' finances. Keep it cool and be sure to manage your child's expectations when it comes to prom to avoid disappointment in wanting something they can't have. Most of all, try to take time for you – it can be tough to have an emotional teenager stressing over prom around, but trust that they'll have the time of their life!

CIPR PRIDE AWARDS 2007: North east
The CIPR Pride Award winners for the North East included a winter festival, Karol Marketing and Sunderland Uni.
Gold Award: Heart of Walker by Karol Marketing Group
Walker Riverside is a 15-year regeneration project in Newcastle's East End. After four years of consultations, residents and businesses were largely indifferent to the scheme and media coverage was mainly negative. Karol's campaign aimed to build community spirit and help people understand why their feedback was important. More than 1,200 people attended the launch event with almost 1,700 people attending events as a whole. Regional dailies ran positive coverage with lead articles pre- and post -event. The judges said: 'The creativity delivered bespoke messages to target audiences.'
Gold Award: Moving on Up by University of Sunderland
Sunderland has one of the lowest university participation rates in the UK. A campaign with the catchphrase 'Moving on up' was run in partnership with the Sunderland Echo in a bid to reverse this trend. The campaign included an interview with former secretary of state for education Estelle Morris, now pro vice-chancellor of the university. Case studies of Sunderland people describing the impact of higher education on their lives supported the campaign, as did endorsements by then Prime Minister Tony Blair, higher education minister Bill Rammell and Conservative leader David Cameron.
Gold Award: Newcastle Gateshead Winter Festival '06 by Newcastle Gateshead Initiative
Newcastle Gateshead staged its first international Festival of Light in December 2006, encouraging local communities to 'Get Newcastle Glowing!'. Highlights included a light-themed workshop for local children on the birthday of Joseph Swan, the locally born inventor of the electric light bulb, and a search for the region's oldest and youngest DJs. Transport operator Metro was persuaded to change its yellow logo to the festival colour of pink. More than 70 bars and restaurants lit their buildings in pink, selling GLOW cocktails and serving their own GLOW suppers. The launch event was featured in The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and BBC regional news programmes. Regional daily The Evening Chronicle produced a 12-page GLOW supplement.
OUTSTANDING IN-HOUSE PUBLIC RELATIONS TEAM
Gold Award: Darlington Borough Council, The Communications Unit
Darlington's five-strong team has won 21 industry awards since July 2004. A 2006 community survey put public satisfaction with the council at 63.6 per cent.
OUTSTANDING PUBLIC RELATION CONSULTANCY
Gold Award: Gardiner Richardson
Now in its tenth year, Gardiner Richardson's fee income is set to increase by 144 per cent this year. Judges said: 'This outstanding company has got it all – it is strategic, experienced, creative and growing soundly.'

Artscope Online: Exhibit Openings
Ken Gonzales-Day: Profiled at the Koppelman Gallery
Friday, October 14th, 2011 // Exhibit Openings, Exhibits
Ken Gonzales-Day, Untitled (Henry Weeks, Bust of an African Woman [based on a photographic image of Mary Seacole] and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, Bust of Mm. Adélaïde Julie Mirleau de Neuville, née Garnier d'Isle, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles), 2011.
By James Foritano
MEDFORD, MA – Ken Gonzales-Day's "Profiled" exhibition at Tufts University's Koppelman Gallery is a show you don't just drop into. Gonzales-Day, like many art photographers, has a talent for capturing his subjects in arresting moments. He takes great care with lighting, positioning, equipment and technique. And yet, his talent, when all is explained, is still both arresting and deeply baffling.
The mystery of these portraits is that, as lively as they are, the subjects "profiled" are definitely not and have never been alive. In this project, Los Angeles based artist and art historian, Ken Gonzales-Day has rifled through the storerooms of such well-established museums as the J. Paul Getty in Los Angeles and the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, among others, both foreign and domestic, to haul out and dust off mostly busts but occasional full length figures of both ideal Western types and less ideal sculptures pretending to represent "anthropologically correct" non-Western races.
Both Western ideals and race theories have been so demoted and/or debunked by modern and post-modern critiques that nowadays, these busts, if not stored or de-accessioned, are mostly to be seen only in old textbooks or in the narrow corridors leading to museum cafeterias and restrooms.
Where, for example, is the drama now in exotic "types" purporting to represent a "Mongolian" or an "Indian"? Even historically European ideals of excellence and beauty have taken heavy hits as a growing sophistication has both enriched and complicated our view of humanity.
Still, Ken Gonzales-Day's photographs pump new life into supposedly by-gone world-views by taking their representatives in marble, bronze and clay out of gloomy storerooms, back-corridor hide-a-ways and placing them both center stage and in dialogue.
One example that fizzed with interaction for me was a wall-length confrontation/dialogue between, on the one side, "two ideal types": a full-length marble Venus joined by an equally glowing portrait bust of an upper-class woman; and, at the other side, a "typical" Chinese" woman twinned with a "typical" Eskimo women, each in rather weather-worn clay.
As these two camps face off, they seem to be vigorously probing each other's stances, both morally and physically, asking: "Who are you? How did you come to be? What are you thinking?"
And, more. Subtle lighting, delicate tints, deft positioning all lift these sculptures into such real spaces and seemingly "real" bodies that the viewer expects them at any moment to turn from their age-old dialogue to quiz him or her.
The same wizardry animates a smaller-scale photograph of two black marble busts, one of a "renaissance" or classically Western type; the other, an African man with tighter curls and fuller features. The planes of their faces leap with light, the tilt of their profiles, across an electric field, seems to speak of a complex engagement. And the viewer, drawn to interpret between them, nervously wonders if, at any moment, he himself will be the object of two probing, quizzical gazes.
If we haven't prepared pat answers to give to these multiple "profiles" exhumed from storage, turned half towards us and half into the picture plane, all the better. As we leave, having dropped in to see the latest art on the latest center stage, we find ourselves sifting our own thoughts as if we were on center stage, attempting to explain ourselves, asking the "outsider" of our inner selves: "Who are you? How did you come to be? What are you thinking?"
Who knew that museum storerooms, opened up, would yield such lively, provocative spaces? And now that Ken Gonzales-Day has opened them up, will they ever be fully and finally closed again?

The marketplace is always great for photography.
There is plenty of color.
There are no greenhouses in Uzbekistan. The whole country is a greenhouse. You wouldn't believe the prices. Tomatoes are 16 cents per kilogram (7cent per pound) and cucumbers are 40 cents per kilogram (18 cents per pound).
Mulberry Juice
You wouldn't think that anyone would be interested in Coca Cola if they could have a glass of fresh mulberry juice.
This guy is delivering Uzbek bread. It is great with shish kebab and a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and onions.
For 18 cents a Gypsy woman exorcised evil spirits from my camera at the marketplace in Samarkand. Do you think that it helped my pictures?
Gypsy Family
This Gypsy family was happy to smile for the camera.
Gypsy Boy
Each kid wanted his picture taken.
Gypsy Girl
An Uzbek told me that it is easy to tell who are Gypsies. He said they are dirty. I felt sad.
This young donkey does not seem put out by his lot in life. He is delivering produce in the marketplace in Samarkand.
Egg Woman
I found this smiling Russian woman in the market in Tashkent. About ten percent of the population of the country is Russian. Most of the adult Uzbeks can speak Russian, but the kids seem more interested in English. Perhaps half of the population has no memory of the Soviet Era. The eggs were 7 cents per dozen.


Hola! While I am drowning in my own study-related stress I decided to share some tips that help me in this time. Not because I'm some kind of a study expert...NONE OF THAT...it's more like "I've tried that and it worked/ failed!"
1. Organisation. How important is breathing?? That's how important this is! To start-off make, sure you've got all your notes, papers, whatever it is, organised. If it's hard copy material that you're dealing with then use different coloured files to colour code by subject and put names on them. For soft copy material also use a folder system. Create a folder for each module/subject to group all of it by subject in your computer. Put names on documents that will guide to what it is in the document without opening it. It's a known fact that organisation helps you work better. Just think of all the time you'd save from searching hysterically.
2. Schedule. I'm a bit of a schedule freak, as I've mentioned before, because it's a way that helps me be less anxious (but that's a whole other thing). During exam/ study time scheduling will help A LOT. More importantly, schedule small goals...for example chapter by chapter. It helps you mentally to visualise what you need to do and when. A way of organising the brain.
3. Note taking. Now this is more relevant to those writing assignments. Sometimes you're on the bus, walking down the street, or even in bed and you get this awesome idea. Perfect timing! Who said the idea has to be lost? You can keep a tiny note book or jot them down on your phone so that you can refer to them later when you are actually working. An application that has changed my life and love using so much for this purpose is Evernote. It's great because whatever I write on it through my phone I find on my laptop as soon as I switch it on.
4. Where have I left off? I have a huge problem...I am not able to continue where I have left off without wasting a whole 1hr trying to figure it out. Recently I have tried this thing which has helped reduce that time. As I'm about to stop I write down on a post-it what my thoughts of continuation were (if I am writing) and what documents I was using. I know...I can leave documents open and put my laptop on hibernate, but if you that day after day there will be that time when it will restart on it's own or it becomes too slow to work with. This technique makes you and your laptop happy.
5. You still exist. Don't make the same mistakes as me. Take away all the time you had for yourself to dedicate it to studying does not help reduce stress. I have a habit of doing that and I always end up forcing myself to get to do things that make me feel happy. For me yoga does the trick. I've cut that out entirely as soon as things got crazier which made me feel worst. I deserve that time, even if it's 20 minutes, I'm sure I'll waste those 20 minutes on youtube anyway! Stopping for a few minutes to breathe in deeply...make yourself a cup of tea is not a crime.

I loved this post ! It's perfect timing for me since I'm currently on exams week.
Thanks! Glad it helped. Good luck for your exams.

Zamanian renews until 2022!
The adventure that began in January 2020 continues: Annahita Zamanian will wear the black and white shirt again next season! The midfielder, born in 1998, has signed the renewal of her contract until 2022.
"Class". This is the first adjective that comes to mind when seeing Zamanian on the pitch. In that January, as soon as she joined Juventus, it took her all of 25 minutes to show her all of her qualities. At the Nereo Rocco, against Tavagnacco, she made her debut, coming onto the pitch in the 57th minute and immediately scoring her first goal, in the 83rd minute. The perfect way to start an adventure that has led her to win two championships and an Italian Super Cup, so far.
This year, she made 25 total appearances and scored four goals – each one more beautiful than the other, but above all seven assists in Serie A, only Barbara Bonansea and Cecilia Prugna (9) did better in the league. Not only that, in the championship just ended she was also the first Juventus player to create at least two assists during a single Serie A match on two different occasions.
Many outstanding numbers, but of course the big one for today is "2022", the year until which Annahita Zamanian's adventure in Bianconera will continue and we can't wait to see the numbers that she will add.
Congratulations, Hito!
An intense and special week for Juventus Academy Coaches Clinic!

The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva Colonia (Sangiovese) is huge. Dark red cherries, flowers, spices, leather and tobacco flow effortlessly from this big, large-scaled wine. The French oak is quite noticeable in the Colonia, separating it from the rest of the Felsina lineup. A huge, opulent finish laced with tar, smoke and licorice rounds out this stylish, expressive Riserva. Colonia is 100% Sangiovese from the highest part of the Rancia vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Winery Notes: Intense ruby red color. Spicy aromas with earthy, mineral, tobacco and pleasant wild berry notes. On the palate, it has intense tannins needed for ageing the high concentration of the regional components typical to Fèlsina and Poggio a Rancia.

My world, your world, the world, is composed of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions. Then there is Consciousness in whose light the thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions are known. So, Consciousness is the subject, and thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions are the objects. The "I" that I am now taking to be me, the ego, is also a thought, the I-thought or the thought called "I". Hence, this "I" that I am now taking to be me, since it is a thought, is also an object to Consciousness. But the true "I" has to be the subject. Since the "I" that I am now taking to be me, the ego, the I-thought or the thought called "I" is an object to Consciousness, it cannot be the true "I". Hence "I" must be the Consciousness, the only true subject that presents itself to this self-enquiry.

This class is designed to help participants improve their communication in English. We place the students according to their level in specific groups and implement a detailed plan to help each child reach their English goals in the following areas: speaking, reading, and writing. These three hours offer quality individual time, as well as group time where the students can practice and learn English in a comfortable environment. In addition, nearly-native and native speakers will have time to work on their homework from their international schools, along with improve their reading and writing skills. For these special students, our school can also provide them with a place to increase their English ability to stay competitive in their own learning environment. All of our students, during our group time, will learn and/or improve their English skills through a variety of fun and educational activities. Overall, our after school class is a time where any student can improve their English skills to help them excel in the future.
It is essential that the children have a specific time when they can speak English. During this section of the afternoon, we place the students in groups, according to their speaking level, and teach them one specific grammar point. At our school, we have a detailed teaching plan that we follow to ensure that our students learn the basics of English speaking. For those students who are nearly-native or are native speakers, they are in their own group and with the teacher's guidance learn how to express themselves in more complex ways from daily conversation to presentation skills. We believe this time presents us, the teachers, a chance to help our students excel at speaking English.
Learning how to read English is a skill that even non-native speakers can achieve quickly. Throughout our reading time, we separate the students into different reading levels. For those who can not read, they work on phonics by playing a variety of fun, interactive games. For early readers, with help from a teacher, each student in the group reads a sentence from a book aloud. We believe that group reading helps the students gain confidence in their reading, and if they make a mistake, their fellow classmates or the teacher can help. For confident readers, they can pick their own book and read on their own out loud with some assistance by the teacher, who can help the student learn proper intonation and also check the student's reading comprehension. Even though a student can not read in the beginning, we will guide him/her through the process of reading, and eventually, he/she should be able to read long sentences and complete books.
This is yet another time when non-native speakers can find a place where they can excel. As always, we will split the children up into different groups according to their writing level. Along with our speaking time, we have created a detailed list of objectives that we want our students to learn. These objectives include: how to write the alphabet, spelling simple and eventually more complex words by using phonics rules, and starting to learn and understand English grammar and eventually doing journal writing. Not only are these three basic points pivotal to increasing children's understanding of English, but also help children improve their speaking and their reading ability.
For children who already posses basic English skills, we provide several optional classes to enhance their level of English. For example, an advanced discussion class called "Current Events" where the students share and discuss news articles with each other. We also have a journal writing class where students are given specific instructions to help them write better sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Furthermore, we offer other classes that expand students knowledge in Science and History.
We have classes for students who are planning to take the English Proficiency Test, Eiken. Learning Tree is an autholized testing place for Eiken levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 (levels 2 and 3 - written only) by the Japan English Proficiency Testing Organization.
Private lessons accelrate your progress at all levels. If you need help with your homework, want to learn a particular theme, and/or desire to study one on one, we can create an individual curriculum for you.
1. For those who are interested in our school, please call to schedule an appointment. During your visit, our teachers will give your child a placement test, and you can try out the class that matches your child's level. The placement test and the trial will cost ¥3,000. We only accept children who are motivated and parents who support our policies.

Q: List of rows of a list I would like to generate a list of all combinations of different elements. I found the expand.grid function which seems to be doing a great job.
lCombi<-expand.grid(c(1,2),c(4,5,6),c(7,8))

     Var1 Var2 Var3
1     1    4    7
2     2    4    7
3     1    5    7
4     2    5    7
5     1    6    7
6     2    6    7
7     1    4    8
8     2    4    8
9     1    5    8
10    2    5    8
11    1    6    8
12    2    6    8

Now, if I understand well, this is a list of 3 elements of 12 rows. But what I would like is a list of 12 elements of 3. I tried to transpose it, convert it into a matrix then back to a list but none worked. So I used my pre-R way of doing things and came up with :
iLength=nrow(lCombi)
lResult<-list()
for(i in 1:iLength){
    lResult[[i]]<-lCombi[i,]
}

to get my lResult list, which contains what I want. Could you please tell me the more efficient way of doing this please ?

A: The split function is great at chopping up a data.frame in to a list of data.frames:
lResult <- split(lCombi, 1:nrow(lCombi))

If you'd like each list element to be a vector instead, use
lapply(lResult, unlist)

Ambulatory surgical suites are located in the same pavilion and operating rooms are located in the adjacent main hospital. The Pomerantz Family Pavilion also houses the Clinical Cancer Center and several ambulatory care clinics including Family Medicine, Women's Health, and Otolaryngology.
Parking is available in several parking ramps around the hospital facility with Parking Ramp 4 offering the closest parking to the Eye Institute. A valet parking service is conveniently offered outside the Eye Clinic and main entrance to the Pomerantz Family Pavilion.
Ophthalmology clinic areas and main reception are adjacent to the hospital information and patient financial services desks on the main floor (Level 1). Upon check-in at the main reception desk, patients are directed to subspecialty waiting areas that are labeled alphabetically. There are over sixty exam rooms including eight specially designed rooms for pediatric patients. Faculty, administrative and most support staff offices are also on Level 1 adjacent to the clinic area.

Oda Jaune's oil paintings and watercolours focus on the bodily, the collaged, the peculiar; her work continually evades the viewers' grasp. She plays with themes of ambivalence, attraction and withdrawal. Internal organs and depictions of violence coalesce with nursing mothers and portrayals of tenderness in imaginative and occasionally gruesome ways, bringing forth unsettling yet engaging works of art.
This publication is full-colour throughout, with a 16-page introduction printed on Munken Print Cream. The hardcover is wrapped with a screenprinted, clear PVC, gatefolded dust jacket.

I had a plan for a great weekend. Get up early (which I forgot meant going to sleep early, too), eat a nice breakfast, go to a coffee shop and work on some freelance articles that have been in my head. I have failed already, having woken up just after 12, sitting in my pyjamas, not eating, but settling for a black coffee, writing my whiny column instead of focusing on that piece I thought could be great.
A friend once said to me: you can't be what you can't see. And I really did see myself in that coffee shop, fresh and enthusiastic about researching a topic I care about, writing it, pitching, and then...well that's where the fun starts.
I've recently done a little poll on Instagram asking people if they had ever pitched something and been completely ignored. What was the result? You guessed right, 100% said they did. This is wrong on all levels : levels of people spending their free time on something, levels of hope that their work – if not published – will at least be acknowledged. Levels of not just being rejected without actually being rejected, not to mention the feedback part. Because if someone is kind enough to send that short note that starts with "unfortunately...", big chances are you won't get a feedback.
So, there you are, scratching your head, wondering if that application/pitch was even received. "Due to a high number of applications..." the ad said. You roll your eyes and try to forget about it. Two months later you get an e-mail from a company you've long forgotten about a position you don't remember, saying you don't have that job. I already wrote about a long application process that doesn't seem to be working for interested people or the employer. But there is a whole other issue within the creative world where piles of good work are just left there to sit in someone's inbox – unread and unheard and so are voices of its authors.
This is how and why I am so reluctant to spend serious time on serious work on a Saturday afternoon, already worried that my writing won't find its place. A process that should be an inspiration and hope is ruined by unpleasant experiences. Yes, we know there are just too many people and not enough staff but I find it to be a lousy excuse. If you open a call for submissions – you are responsible for every entry that is sent to you. If you're a magazine/paper reflecting a voice of society, you ought to respect all of those voices. If you can't handle it – simply design an automatic response to let someone know you've received their message. Hell, even add a note saying that if they don't receive a further response, they've been unsuccessful. It doesn't cost anything, not even time, so why is it so hard?
Maybe it's some kind of prestige – you should only be so lucky to establish any contact with people who have that power over you. But I feel like these days are gone. Interning at Vogue isn't a big deal any more – people are realizing that free work is more often just free work with no other result when there are thousands of people waiting in a queue. So what should we do? Go and create, don't let them get you down. Your work is meaningful because it comes from pure passion. Create, write, apply and make them listen. From now on, I am vowing to add a note to every e-mail: P.S. Please reply (don't write that, make it sound more professional) and then again and again and again, until they are forced to respect your time and see you as equal, or someone they surely once were.


Here are some interesting willow-related bits and pieces. If you have a story or happening included here, send an email to mail@willowscotland.co.uk (don't forget your contact details and, if possible, some information about who you are and what you do).
Angus Millennium Forest (an Angus wide community woodland project) is alive and cutting, with a harvest of 500 willow rods from one of its 3 coppice willow stands in Carnoustie.
One of the local schools Woodlands Primary School needed willow rods for an outdoor willow tunnel project within their new school grounds in Carnoustie. Richard Bramhall contacted the local Council Tree Officer for help. On the 3rd of February in sleet, drizzle and mud, twenty eight pupils and four teachers walked down the road to their local community woodland to meet Fred Conacher, the Angus Council Tree Officer, to harvest their requirements. After a quick introduction and demonstration the work began – cutting, selecting rods and clearing the coppice stools of other unwanted shoots.
The waste wood and prunings were left back in the wood around the stools to break down and help stabilise the wet bank, another job the willow coppice stand is doing on this site. The rods were then tied into bundles of 20 rods each and carried back to the school with the help of the 32 newly recruited woods people.
