Will Smith resigns from The Academy after "inexcusable" slap
Will Smith has resigned from The Academy as the controversy surrounding him slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony continues
Charlotte Colombo
After controversially striking Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, action movie star Will Smith has announced his resignation from the Academy.
The Academy had previously announced that Smith, who went on to win Best Actor for his role in drama movie King Richard, was under investigation for his conduct during the ceremony. Although according to the Academy, the former DCEU actor was asked to leave following his actions, he reportedly refused. Smith hit Rock in response to a joke he made about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, and released his statement announcing his resignation from the Academy on Friday, April 1.
"I have directly responded to the Academy's disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct," the statement reads. " My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. "
The statement continues: "I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film."
Smith concludes the statement by writing, "Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason." By no longer being a member of the Academy, Smith won't be able to vote on Oscar-nominated releases. However, his work will still be eligible for future Oscars nominations.
David Rubin, President of the Academy, confirmed that same day that they had accepted Smith's resignation. "We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18," he said in a statement.

HailStrike's OneSite Mobile app allows users to access extensive, detailed and time-sensitive hail reporting data from the field, from virtually any mobile device.
HailStrike introduces OneSite Mobile, an innovative service poised to bring a solution to mobile access for hail storm dates.
HailStrike's OneSite Mobile app allows users to access extensive, detailed and time-sensitive hail reporting data from the field, from virtually any mobile device. The app gives the flexibility of requesting hail data and potential dates of loss with the touch of a finger. The only input needed is a property address, which can be automatically attained using a powerful Geo-Locating algorithm, or by manually entering a property address. The powerful tool takes the address and reports all hail activity over the past five years, including size, duration, storm speed, storm direction and more.
The OneSite Mobile app can deliver two types of reports: a comprehensive, detailed OneSite report with historical activity along with support documentation, or a OneSite Lite that individually lists the dates of activity. Both of these reports are generated from the field in less than three minutes.
Insurance adjusters, CAT teams, independent claims adjusters, public adjusters, roofing contractors, and roofing engineers will find OneSite Mobile an indispensable tool in immediate remote hail verification for a specific address.
OneSite Reports utilize Dual Polarization, NEXRAD radars' newest technology, which creates a digital, High Definition look into the heart of a storm. Only HailStrike captures, stores and analyzes this data every five minutes from NOAA's NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar) station across the country and then processes it with HailStrike's patent-pending algorithms.

A complaint from a Newlin Mill Road resident about "unbearable" odors being emitted during the early morning hours from Molded Acoustical Products Inc. has prompted the Palmer Township Board of Supervisors to look into the matter.
Carol Fehnel, who is among the handful of residents who live near the company in the Palmer Industrial Park, told the board last night that the smell is so bad it wakes her family from their sleep and burns their eyes and throats. She said requests made by her over the past year to the state Department of Environmental Resources to investigate the situation have received no response.
"It's terrible, it's unbearable . . . you can't stand it," she said. "You can't sleep or anything. It's really affected my whole family."
Fehnel said that the odor seems to come only after midnight, and the past weekend was especially bad.
"I don't know what they're trying to pull. They do this in the evening after midnight and they did it Saturday and Sunday," said Fehnel, citing a comment made at the meeting by township Police Chief Nicholas DiVietro that the employees were only supposed to be working at the plant until 11 p.m.
Fehnel said her father, who lives near her and suffers from a respiratory problem, had a private test done on his home which revealed a high concentration of formaldehyde.
Edward Stokes, vice president of Molded Acoustical Products, said from his township home last night that the DER in May requested that the company take steps to the correct the problem and that a consultant has been hired to come up with a remedy.
When asked what the plant was emitting that would cause the smell, Stokes said, "We have an idea," and added, "It's not harmful as far as we're concerned." He refused further comment.
The board decided to contact the DER for more information on the problem.
Although some of the supervisors were aware that there was an odor problem at the facility, they weren't aware of any action taken by the DER. Chairman H. Robert Daws complained that the "state doesn't notify municipalities about what they're doing," and gave as an example a monthly report released last week by the state Health Department that a rabid bat had been found in Palmer. That information was not passed on to the township, Daws said.
In other business, the board decided to stop all lot releases and issuances of certificates of occupancy for Kingsview Estates until substantial progress is made on improvements to the streets and sidewalks.
The action was taken in response to numerous complaints from residents of the development that contractor Edward Ruland of K&E; Corporation was not making the required municipal improvements to the area, which also include the placement of street lights and trees.
Township solicitor Donald Himmelreich said although certificates of occupancy have been granted to six families who would have suffered hardships had they not been allowed to move in without the improvements completed, it would no longer be done until "progress proceeds substantially."
Following up on complaints by Clayton Street residents last week that a neighbor was running a boarding house from her home, which resulted in authorization from the supervisors to cite the woman because such an operation is not permitted in a single-family zoning district, Himmelreich said he believes the matter has been resolved.
He said he received favorable responses from Mae Cardinelli and her attorney, Gus Milides, who said the "undesirable element has vacated the premises" and that a couple living in Cardinelli's 3030 Clayton St. home will move out at the end of June.
Several of Cardinelli's neighbors complained that she was allowing four to six people to live in her home for pay and that the tenants disrupted the peace in the neighborhood with early morning partying. One resident said he feared for the safety of the family.
Although Himmelreich said last week that the only alternative to the problem would be to cite Cardinelli, who would then have to appear for a hearing before a district justice, he said last night that after reviewing the township's zoning ordinance he found that a letter had to be sent and the resident in violation of the code had to be given five days to correct the problem.
"(However) if the representations made to us are untrue we'll be in the position to file a citation immediately," said Himmelreich.
On the recommendation of the township Planning Commission, the supervisors gave the go-ahead for Easton Packing Co. to build a 17,500-square-fo ot building on Lot #7 in the Palmer Industrial Park. The operation processes and packages meat products mainly for restaurant use, but a small retail outlet will be available at the site.
Two bids for a 32-by-48-foot building that would be used to house and repair township equipment were held for review.
Morton Buildings of Phillipsburg bid $21,340 for the structure and Salvatore Contracting Inc. of Pennington, N.J., bid $24,764. Supervisor Donald Campbell said the building is needed because new equipment being purchased by the township is too large to fit into the township's garages on Hartley Avenue, where the structure will be built.
The board also accepted a $10,840 bid from Universal Traffic Control of Bloomsbury, N.J., for the repair and resurfacing of Briarcliff Park, Stephen Street and Old Orchard basketball courts, and the Newburg Tennis Courts.


Everybody raves about Aunt Gaye's Eggplant Caponata. It's another great recipe for eggplant which includes lots of garden fresh vegetables. These are all chopped up and baked in a simple red wine vinegar and olive oil marinade. The flavors meld together in just the right blend. It's difficult to stop eating this appetizer.
One of my favorite summer vegetables is eggplant. I was delighted open Week One's CSA basket and find that it included these two beautiful eggplants. Eggplant can be prepared in so many ways, it's hard to pick a favorite recipe. Here is one that I adapted to include this vegetable: Cajun Rice Dressing with Eggplant. I made it for our family–my husband and I ate the entire dish in one meal.

Western Canada is made up of the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia.
This region of Canada produces a major portion of the high value goods and services which Canada exports to the world.
Saskatchewan consistently enjoys one of the leading economies in Canada. While Saskatchewan's true wealth is it's people, there are many natural resources within the land. There are extensive deposits of petroleum and natural gas, uranium, potash, diamonds, gold, rare earth elements and many other minerals as well as large forest reserves.

Some products are determined to be hazardous after being released into the marketplace. If you've registered a product with its manufacturer or one of its dealers, you should be notified (normally via U.S. Mail) if the product is determined to qualify for corrective repair or is recalled. Unfortunately, many homeowners fail to register their purchases and, therefore, are not informed about product-related risks in their home. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the government agency charged with reviewing product-related concerns to determine when a public warning or recall should be issued:
CPSC is very effective at getting dangerous products off store shelves, such as recalled toys, clothing, children's jewelry, tools, appliances, electronics and electrical products. But once a product gets into the home, the consumer has to be on the lookout. Consumers need to be aware of the latest safety recalls to keep dangerous recalled products away from family members.
Often, but not always, will hear about affected products in the news. If you have purchased appliances this year that you have not registered or are experiencing trouble with a product, take a moment to review the list of recalls at one of the sites below. You can sign up to receive notifications via email.
Below are two good sources of consumer product safety and recall information.

Q: Logging the remote host in Finagle I'd like to log the called remote host to STDOUT when using Finagle Client. But as far as I see this is not possible via com.twitter.finagle.http.filter.LoggingFilter; Its #format (example see below) method cannot access the actual host:

*

*request.remoteHost() returns 0.0.0.0

*request.remoteAddress() returns an object which basically contains the above IP

*request.host() returns a None object

My first guess is/was that accessing the host is not possible because Finagle's client-side load balancing happens deeper in the stack.
This is the test code I use:

    LoggingFilter<Request> loggingFilter = new LoggingFilter<>(
            new Logger(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getSimpleName())),

            new LogFormatter<Request, Response>() {
                @Override
                public String format(Request request, Response reply, Duration replyTime) {
                    return null;
                }

                @Override
                public String formatException(Request request, Throwable throwable, Duration replyTime) {
                    return null;
                }
            });

    Service<Request, Response> service = Http.client().newService("localhost:8090,localhost:8091");
    Future<Response> response = loggingFilter.andThen(service).apply(Request.apply("/profiles/me"));

A: The actual endpoint to which the request is being sent is decided in the load balancer. So indeed logging the remote host can only be done after the load balancing module.
The load balancer module makes the parameter Transporter.EndpointAddr available. This parameter contains the actual address. In order to use this param you should add a module to the HTTP client stack, just after the load balancing module.
An example in Scala:
Create your logging filter:
class MyLoggingFilter(addr: Address) extends SimpleFilter[Request, Response] {
  override def apply(request: Request, service: Service[Request, Response]) = {
    println(s"Sending request to $addr")
    service(request)
  }
}

Define the new module
def endpointLoggerModule: Stackable[ServiceFactory[Request, Response]] =
  new Stack.Module1[Transporter.EndpointAddr, ServiceFactory[Request, Response]] {
    val role: Role = Role("EndpointLogger")
    val description = "Log remote address"
    def make(_addr: Transporter.EndpointAddr,
             next: ServiceFactory[Request, Response]) = {
      val Transporter.EndpointAddr(addr) = _addr
      new MyLoggingFilter(addr).andThen(next)
    }
  }

Create a new Http client with this module in the stack:
val stackWithLogging = Http.client.stack
  .insertAfter(LoadBalancerFactory.role, endpointLoggerModule)
val service = Http.client.copy(stack = stackWithLogging)
  .newService("localhost:8090,localhost:8091")

This created service should then log the actual addresses to which the requests are sent.
See the official Finagle documentation for more information on module composition.

Addicted How Addiction Affects Every One of Us and What We Can Do About it by Matthew Noffs; Kieran Palmer (As told to)
This book is about addictions of all kinds. Addictions to smartphones, sex, games, social media, gambling, money, but most of all to alcohol and drugs. The words 'addict' and 'addiction' are loaded with baggage. Not just in Australia, but the world over, addicts are considered to be sub-human, if not al ien. This book aims to reclaim their dignity. It aims to rescue the word 'addiction' from its kidnappers and restore its humanity. It offers personal accounts from inspirational people who have found themselves in the grips of such addictions, and their amazing stories of survival. At the Ted Noffs Foundation, Matt Noffs and Kieran Palmer spend their lives working with young people who have serious and often debilitating drug addictions. This book shares the tools they use every day. It offers insights into why addiction takes place and why it's a natural part of being human. It journeys across the spectrum of addictive behaviors, from social media to drugs like heroin. It questions the assumptions and begins to debunk the myth that all addiction is identical and predictable. Addiction is something that could affect any of us. This is a book that everyone should read. ...Show more
The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in Healthy Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain (PB) by Steven R. Gundry (As told to)
Category: Health | Series: The\Plant Paradox Ser.
"I read this book... it worked. My autoimmune disease is gone and I'm 37 pounds lighter in my pleather." --Kelly ClarksonMost of us have heard of gluten--a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to pro tect their health. But what if we've been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the "gluten-free" foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world.The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including: Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content.Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption.Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress--and are full of lectins.With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl--and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way. ...Show more
A Better Death by Ranjana Srivastava
A powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia's most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die.

With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life.

Man's Search For Meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust by Viktor E. Frankl
A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and w ho offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances.The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph.Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living. ...Show more

Gut: the Inside Story of Our Body's Most Under-Rated Organ by Giulia Enders
The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works. In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and - let's be honest - somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy. And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer's. Beginning with the personal experience of illness that inspired her research, and going on to explain everything from the basics of nutrient absorption to the latest science linking bowel bacteria with depression, Enders has written an entertaining, informative health handbook. Gutdefinitely shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings. In this charming book, young scientist Giulia Enders takes us on a fascinating tour of our insides. Her message is simple - if we treat our gut well, it will treat us well in return. But how do we do that? And why do we need to? Find out in this surprising, and surprisingly funny, exploration of the least understood of our organs. ...Show more

This teenage sitcom is named after its main character, likable but sissy schoolgirl Blossom Russo. It centers around her life at school and at home, where she lives with her single father, charming musician Nick Russo, who tries hard to be an exemplary parent, and her two elder brothers, the cool Anthony, the eldest, and sweet but rather weak and naive Joey. Her best friend, Six LeMeure, who is educationally neglected at her home and thus is almost always around at the Russos as well as at school, is the voice of mischief and thus often her partner in crime.

Haven't watched it on 5 years but the memories are good.

Overall entertaining family sitcom with the occasional sensual situations and the problems of growing...
With a not so conventional beauty like Mayim Bialik, "Blossom" centered on all of it's main characters to develop a plot on every episode. Blossom was the principal character but the show didn't focused on her 100%. Joey Lawrence was a rising star and at some points in the series run, he was stealing the show. The character of six also had her great moments.
Well I started watching this show for Bialik. I felt attracted to her for unknown reasons. I mean, she isn't beautiful in the likes of Hollywood but she had an on screen charm that only a few have.
The situations were surprisingly interesting in most episodes and involved problems of teens and young adults. So don't expect a "Full House" comedy situations.
Give a try to "Blossom" because it's certainly different. Those were the days...

The realisation that behind this stupendous tour de force lies only the domestic intricacies of municipal housing risks turning the whole display into an absurd melodrama, a folie de grandeur.
To be honest, the passer-by on Roman Road might be forgiven for seeing rather more 'municipal' than 'grandeur' with a quick glance but, in conception and design, the Cranbrook Estate deserves closer attention. It remains a monument to post-war ambitions to house the people and a testimony, in particular, to the vision of the tiny borough of Bethnal Green.
Bethnal Green covered a little over a square mile. And that – despite their proximity – was probably its only resemblance to the City of London. Bethnal Green was a working-class borough with a population in 1955 of around 54,000 – half that of 1931. All thirty seats of the Council had been held by Labour since 1934 and would remain so till the abolition of the borough in 1965.
The first priority was to repair those houses capable of repair. By 1953 this was largely complete and the London County Council and Metropolitan Borough Council refocused their efforts on slum clearance. Both had already built homes in the borough too – the LCC over 800 by 1951, Bethnal Green 643 by 1953.
The Borough used private architects to design its housing and built by a mix of contractor and direct labour. Pevsner comments on the 'more sympathetic detailing' of the Borough's housing compared to that of the LCC. (3) But the height of the Council's ambition came with the Cranbrook Estate started in 1955.
In that year, Bethnal Green appointed Messrs Skinner, Bailey and Lubetkin as architects (a regrouped version of the Tecton Group which had designed the Spa Green Estate in Finsbury before the war) and approved the first stage of the scheme. The Council also stipulated in draconian but necessary terms – given their intentions – that no applicants on the waiting list would be granted any of the new-build homes; it would all go to those living in areas to be cleared.
Construction began shortly after. The first units – Holman House, a five-storey block of 48 flats over a frontage of 12 shops, Tate House, 14 old people's bungalows and Stubbs House, a two-storey block of old people's dwellings – were officially opened by the mayor in March 1963. (5) The Estate as a whole was officially opened in January 1965 and completed in 1966.
The new Estate – in plain numbers – comprised two fifteen-storey blocks of 60 homes each, two thirteen-storey blocks of 52 homes each, two eleven-storey blocks of 44 homes each and five four-storey blocks of 28 homes. With ancillary dwellings, there were 529 new homes in total – 43 bedsitter flats, 115 one-bedroom flats, 271 two-bedroom flats and 100 three-bed flats. This is one and half times the size of le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation.
I always had the impression that he was the boss. We all used to come, all the mums, and meet him and he'd say: "How's things working?" He'd come in and have a biscuit and a cup of tea and he'd say that no matter what flat he went into, his décor went with the furniture. He was very proud that everything went together.
He'd come up to London each month, his 'sketchbook bulging with plans'. In overall terms, the Estate was, according to John Allan, his 'most ambitious achievement in urban orchestration, an essay in controlled complexity'.
The ensemble of six towers and five medium-rise blocks were arranged geometrically, set along two diagonal axes – pedestrian walkways which echoed the earlier street pattern. The buildings progressively reduced in height from 15 storeys to 13 to 11 in the towers to five in the block of flats and shops on Roman Road, then to four in the series of maisonettes and to two, and finally – in a conscious diminuendo – to one storey in the old people's bungalows on the Estate's perimeter.
In James Meek's words, the blocks were spaced apart and so angled that one face would always catch the sun and shadows cast would 'rotate like the spokes of a wheel'.
In the original design, one of the avenues was to lead directly at its north-western corner into Victoria Park but the Council couldn't purchase the intervening land. Instead, Lubetkin designed an elaborate trompe l'oeil – a tapering ramp and series of diminishing hoops to give the illusion of distant vista. This no longer exists.
There have been other changes too. Some of the élan of Lutbetkin's original design has been lost. Those diagonal axes became a figure of eight. The tower blocks now have blank steel shutters erected across the deep openings which originally scored their façades; the green concrete bosses and glass beads which studded the façades have been replaced by aluminium boxes; white pipework scars their exterior. Parts of it are clearly in need of refurbishment. The passer-by might be forgiven for seeing the Estate as a little more ordinary than it actually is.
loved it. I absolutely adored it. We had central heating so we didn't need to light a fire any more. My husband thought we'd moved into a ship. All the walls were painted grey, battleship grey. Everything was grey except the wall where my books are and the bathroom, which was red, a dusty red.
I have to say I loved growing up there and have very fond memories of playing out with friends and certainly always felt safe! Our flat was spacious – my bedroom now in a four bed house is about half the size of the bedroom I had in Offenbach House.
More recently, when one resident spoke of their fear of crime on the Estate, others were quick to defend the safety and friendliness of Cranbrook – though a few knew of particular 'problem families' who did cause trouble.
And that brings our story pretty much up-to-date. The Estate is now managed by Tower Hamlets Homes, an 'arms-length management organisation' of Tower Hamlets Council. That, however, was a close-run thing. In 2005 it was proposed to transfer ownership to the Swan Housing Association but a campaign by Defend Council Housing and then local MP George Galloway secured a 72 per cent tenant vote in opposition.
In this context, Lubetkin's disillusion with municipal design – which came to a head with the rejection of his plans for Peterlee – seems disingenuous. Ultimately, council housing has been less about 'grand designs' than about providing decent homes for ordinary people.
(9) See the comments on LoveLondoncouncilhousing, 'Cranbrook Estate', posted September 3, 2009, and read the blog for more photos and analysis.
I'm grateful as always to the helpful staff of the Tower Hamlets Local History Library for their help in accessing their excellent resources.
Really interesting, as always; I haven't been past the estate for a while, but it always seemed to have stood the test of time better than many, perhaps most, of the estates of a similar age in East London.
Having recognised a very familiar setting from my childhood whilst watching the BBC show Luther on Netflix today, I decided to do a quick Google search – "cranbrook estate e2 luther tv series" – and this article appeared.
Out of curiosity (having grown up on Cranbrook) I decided to have a read.
I noticed a very familiar reference (9), a comment taken from lovelondoncouncilhousing. It happens to be a comment made by me after reading the post whilst doing research for a project for a Space, Place and Architecture module that formed part of my BA in Social Anthropology (I was interested in applying Foucault's analysis of power structures to the Great British council estate and decided to be nostalgic and look at my own roots to do so).
I also enjoyed the article, from the brief yet concise history, to the frankness of the author in their musings of the aesthetics of the estate, to the general positive approach to social housing that is usually lacking in representations of council housing.
So thanks for drawing me in, will certainly be reading some of the other articles on this site.
Grateful for your references to my biography of Lubetkin ("Berthold Lubetkin – Architecture and the tradition of progress", first published 1992, 2nd Edition published by Artifice 2012), but I wish you'd spell my name correctly.
Many apologies. It's corrected now.


Wondering how to sell t shirts online for profit? It should be an easy process right? You slap together some t shirt designs or even find a bunch of tee's a put together a collection. If you build it they will come?
Like everything else related to internet marketing you have to know your customer. The first step to selling t shirts online to make money is to identify your niche. You can have lots of niches. But each niche needs to be laser targeted. That laser target also needs to be an audience that is passionate about something and has money they are willing to spend.
Next you need to consider what that niche needs, well besides t shirts. Everyone needs t shirts right? As a marketer your job is to solve problems for people. Or make them feel better about themselves. Or even make them feel a part of something bigger than themselves. With that in mind consider your niche.
Decide how you are going to deliver content that meets one of those criteria.
Now you need to develop a social platform, website or store front to talk to that group. By talking I do not mean flood them with tons of tee shirts. I mean have a conversation. Feed them information that helps them be better, feel better, be part of a community or participate in something bigger than themselves. If you are using Facebook Fan pages or groups, your tee shirt posts should blend into the general conversation. People seeing the ad should not even notice that they are being "pitched".
Create interesting pictures or videos that talk about what your niche is interested in and link to your collection or store. Wear your own creations and take pictures of yourself while wearing them. And You could make a video as Sunfrog themselves suggested.
The biggest tip I can give you about selling t shirts online for profit is to make the sale secondary to helping people do what they want to do or solves a problems for them.
Make sure the niche includes people who are passionate about it and have money to spend on it.
Deliver content that solves a problem for your customer, makes them feel like they are part of something larger, or feel better about themselves.
Be a product of your own product.

Inside tour: First lady decorates White House for Christmas
FOX 5 DC
WASHINGTON (FOX NEWS) - The Trump family is getting ready to celebrate their first Christmas in the White House, and first lady Melania Trump has already decked the halls.
This year's theme is "Time-Honored Traditions." The first lady unveiled the decorations at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday, while welcoming children of military families to the residence.
Trump, who personally selected the decor, says she wanted to make the White House feel like home over the holidays.
The decorations continue a tradition that dates back decades. This year, each room has its own unique look, including special settings, elaborate centerpieces, and a giant White House made out of gingerbread. It took 36 pastry chefs to create the tasty model, and it weighs more than 300 pounds.
And Mrs. Trump didn't have to do all the decorating by herself. More than 150 volunteers from around the country spent more than 1,600 hours decorating the White House. They used about 12,000 ornaments, more than 1,000 feet of garland, and 53 Christmas trees to create this year's festive look.
The Trump Family also unveiled its official White House Christmas card Monday, as part of a tradition that dates back to 1953.
The White House says 25,000 visitors are expected to take special Christmas tours of the building during the holidays.

Demystifying NWO | Werkgroep "George Orwell"
Does this mean that 'Dissent' claims to be an 'objective' source of truth that you can trust implicitly? Certainly not. Such a thing does not exist. All media and theory are biased by national, ideological, religious, and economic interests and paradigms. If I may paraphrase Robert Cox, all theory (and media) 'is for someone and for some purpose'. 'Dissent' will strive to examine and deconstruct Western discourse of international relations, crises, and events, and present an alternative non-Western point of view. As with any other source of news and analysis, it is left to you to consider the arguments I raise, verify and compare them with alternate sources and perspectives, and in the end make up your own mind. I simply aim to present an oft unheard and alternative perspective from that presented by the Western government, MSM, and analyst narrative, as if from 'the Other'. Today I will be painting a broad brush stroke of the themes that the segment 'Dissent' will be exploring in the future.
By 'the West', I am referring to both a civilization and a geopolitical bloc, a hegemonic entity, centered around the United States of America, but including the United Kingdom, the European Union and Europe in general, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, as well as certain other allies and vassals, such as Japan and South Korea that have more or less and to varying degrees been subsumed into a wider 'Western' civilization.
The West is also defined by capitalism, and increasingly a virulent neoliberal strain of capitalism that drives globalization; as well as a narrow and legalistic 'liberal' interpretation of 'democracy', that denies, often aggressively, the legitimacy and right to exist of all other forms of government and political systems in a sort of modern ideological jihad or crusade.
In the narrative presented by Western governments and the Western MSM, the phrase 'the international community' is heard with nauseating frequency. It is used to create a false perception of international 'legitimacy' to an action or stance on the global stage. But more often than not, the 'international community' is not truly representative of global opinion at all, but, instead, that of 'the West', led by the United States. The truest form of 'international community' that exists today is the fractious forum of states in the United Nations, but this rarely if ever speaks with one voice.
'The West' is actually a minority of this 'global community' in terms of the number of states, the total population represented by those states, and increasingly in economic terms. However the West continues to maintain its 'supposedly beneficent' global hegemony through all possible spectrums of power. Militarily this is done by its overwhelmingly and frequently used military might, often under the guise of NATO. Cultural hegemony is maintained via the English language, Hollywood, mass consumer culture, and the internet.
Economic hegemony is maintained by the use of international institutions such as the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank, which it structurally dominates AND by its control of global finance, ratings agencies, and banking. The West's political hegemony is enforced, with its three permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council: as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
This global hegemony of Western civilization, while a brief moment in the total span of human history, has been dominant over much of the last three hundred years, as Western empires and states through colonialism and imperialism sought to control and reshape the world in their own image. At the same time as they extended outwards to conquer the globe militarily and with trade, the West also was characterized by centuries of internal fratricidal and genocidal warfare. From 1945 with the end of World War 2, to the mid 1980's, this intercivilizational warfare ended and the West united through NATO, and later the institutions of capitalist globalization, under the leadership of the superpower United States, in response to the global challenge presented by the USSR and the communist bloc, which offered an alternative vision of modernization.
This 'bipolar era' characterized by the maneuvering, covert, proxy, and information wars between the two rival ideological superpowers for the shape of modernity, has been termed the 'Cold War'.
Since the implosion and disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1992 which ended the 'Cold War', in what has been rightly called the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century by then Russian President Vladimir Putin, we have been living in a 'unipolar moment' under the largely unchallenged and unaccountable global dominance and might of the West, led by an aggressive 'hyperpower' United States, willing to unilaterally use force to shape the world according to its will and interests, often in flagrant disregard for international law and the principles of the UN Charter.
This ascendancy of the United States and the West was triumphantly proclaimed 'the End of History' by a historically deterministic Francis Fukuyama, in which there remained no other credible challengers to the Western vision of modernization and globalization. We were told that there is no alternative to liberal democracy and capitalism, that ideology was dead, state 'sovereignty' an antiquated notion, and that politics should be reduced to the technocratic management of global capitalist markets.
They were of course, arrogantly, wrong. There is no 'end to history', and humanity's political and social evolution will continue.
As his global teleconference broke up amidst the events of September 11, 2001, a top economist at a U.S. investment bank, Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs, began to wonder what the attacks on the United States might tell him about the future shape of the world. His conclusions had little to do with Al Qaeda. About to become head of the bank's global economics team, he was looking for a "big idea" for the firm to move forwards into the new century.
In the midst of the chaos of watching the airplanes collide into the World Trade Center on television, a vision of the new century came to him. The decade after September 11 would be defined not by the hyperpower United States, or its proclaimed 'war on terror', a 'Long War' to beat down and subjugate 'black holes' in the Islamic World whose fundamentalist identity was resisting Americanization, as well as holdout 'rogue states' who continued to resist the West's hegemony but by the rise of the four biggest emerging market economies who also happened to be civilizations centers and 'great powers' in their own right – China, Russia, India and Brazil.
Later South Africa would be included, as this group of states. O'Neill nicknamed them the "BRICS" after the first letter of their names.
O'Neill, who now heads Goldman's global asset management business, used this vision to coin the BRIC phrase in a pamphlet published in November 2001, intended to sell an investment package. The numbers from the past decade suggest the trend he identified will resonate more in world history than the attacks of 9/11 and their aftermath.
When O'Neill dreamed up the BRIC acronym, the four big emerging powers made up eight percent of the world economy. The top five world economies were, in order, the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain and France. Ten years later, the BRICS have grown faster than even O'Neill expected to constitute nearly 20 percent of the global economy. China is the world's number two economic power, soon to surpass the United States, while Britain – the closest ally of the U.S. in the decade-long war on terror – has dropped out of the top five, overtaken by Brazil. India and Russia are not far behind. The West is also deep in debt, with China, Russia, and India being some of its biggest foreign creditors.
Joseph Nye, a former U.S. under-secretary of state and defense as well as ex-chair of the National Intelligence Council and now a Harvard professor of international relations, said, "For most of the first decade of the century, as the world economy gradually shifted its centre of gravity towards Asia, the United States was preoccupied with a mistaken war of choice in the Middle East. U.S. actions critically undermined its "soft power" in diplomacy, values and culture, while diverting and ultimately weakening its military and economic "hard power".
Following a long-standing historical pattern, the growing economic power of the BRICS is starting to translate into greater military strength – and the West's financial decline is mirrored in ever more drastic cuts to its defense spending. London's International Institute for Strategic Studies highlighted in its annual survey of global military power this year a key theme: while Western military budgets are being pruned, those in Asia and the Middle East are growing sometimes by double digits every year. "There is persuasive evidence that a global redistribution of military power is under way," it said.
This year, Britain replaced China as the only member of the UN Security Council without an aircraft carrier, scrapping the Royal Navy's flagship "Ark Royal" just as China launched its first such vessel.
August 2008 also saw Russia swiftly win a war with U.S.-backed neighbor Georgia, the first time Moscow had sent troops outside its borders since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. That more muscular approach from emerging powers – particularly in their own backyard – could in future be adopted by the likes of China or India as well.
So what we can see illustrated with the rise of the BRICS, what 9/11 and the West's subsequent 'War on Terror' really tells us is that that the unipolar moment of American and Western hegemony, after just 20 short years of global dominance is coming to an end. The world is entering a multipolar phase, with no single nation able to dominate global affairs. This multipolar world will be focused around several regional 'Great Power' states, or civilizational centers with spheres of influence: namely the United States, the EU, Russia, China, India, Latin American led by Brazil, and possibly an emergence of Africa with South Africa as their foremost representative.
