Vaults Festival 2020: Our Top Picks
A Younger Theatre January 10, 2020 FeaturesHighlightsTheatre512 views
There's excitement in the air and definitely some damp too… Wait, that must mean Vault Festival 2020 is nearly upon us. How has it been a year already? As part of our annual tradition, members of the AYT team have put together their top picks of most anticipated shows. Expect horror (in more ways than one), powerful, marginalised voices coming to the fore, and some nepotism. How very dare we.

I'm really excited for Elf Lyon's Gorgon: A Horror Story, which combines two of my favourite things: Greek mythology and horror movies. Gorgon looks at the taboo topic of female anger, which promises a fresh take on the Medusa myth. It also uses live foley sound effects, which I'm excited about. Foley is an art form that is often underappreciated, and it's actually how a lot of big horror films get the sounds effects for their particularly gruesome scenes, so I'm super excited to see how this is going to be done live.
Elf Lyon's GORGON: A Horror Story runs from Feb 5 – 9.
I also can't wait for Patricia Gets Ready For A Date With A Man Who Hit Her by Martha Watson Allpress. It's about a survivor who bumps into her abusive ex and accidentally agrees to go on a date with him. I'm excited to see this because the stories of survivors don't really get told as much as they should be. A lot of the time, when I've seen plays about abusive relationships and recover, the focus is usually on the abuser or how to prevent abuse, so it's really affirming to hear about a show which tracks Patricia's recovery and how she built herself up again. This is Martha Watson Allpress' first full length play, and it was so popular when it opened at The White Bear theatre, it was brought back for a second run. I'm really excited to hear what this new playwright has to offer – it sounds very promising.
Patricia Gets Ready For A Date With A Man Who Hit Her runs from Feb 5 – 9.
Having seen her perform twice before, I'm really excited to see Sophie Duker's new work in progress. Duker is a refreshing voice on the UK comedy scene and her shows are packed with energy, offbeat wit and sharp social criticism. She describes herself as a 'triple threat minority' – a black woman who is queer – and her recent show, VENUS, was packed with playful but poignant observations about race, sexuality and gender. She's hilarious, bold and uncompromising, and I think she's fantastic. She's one to watch for sure.
Sophie Duker (Work in Progress) will play on March 4.

Katie Arnstein's Sexy Lamp unpicks what it means to be a female actor, and the abuse that can come at the hands of the performance industry and your vulnerability as a woman. In her hour-long show, Arnstein describes her journey to London from a Midlands drama school, and her quest to find an agent and become a successful actor. Her show is named after the theory of the 'SexyLamp' which measures how relevant a female character is to a plot. The show particularly focuses on how women are forced to say yes for fear of losing jobs and her story shows us how important the #MeToo movement is. I saw this at Edinburgh Fringe at Pleasance and it made me cry – such a beautiful piece.
Sexy Lamp plays on Feb 16.

I find the idea of Tarot readings quite interesting but mostly they make me feel a little uneasy. I'm excited to see Tarot: The Feathers of Daedalus Circus and not only learn more about what it means to be read like an open book but to discover what the world you're connecting with is saying. I love the thought of becoming a burlesque performer in the future and am already playing around with drag. Coming from a background in physical and musical theatre, I am excited by what this show might have to offer.
Tarot runs from Jan 28 – Feb 1.
Having dealt with grief after losing a close family member to cancer, I struggled to be, as a performer, creative and positive afterwards. I felt slightly guilty for carrying on with my life when they had gone, felt guilty for those still in mourning when I had days I wanted to move on, or put on a flamboyant dress. I changed a lot as a person and as an actor and I feel I would really connect with Simon David's Over My Dad's Body in a lot of ways. I think grief within the arts is something we need to speak about more and I applaud this play for its bravery. It's one I am most definitely going to try and see.
Over My Dad's Body runs from Jan 28 – Feb 1.
As a gay man, I am often over aware of the people around me and especially on public transport but I think that unfortunatley, we have to be. I am very lucky to have had a family support system that, though not perfect, was there when coming out and can't begin to relate to or imagine what's it like for those who are pushed out of their family home and especially at a young age. I feel that as a gay man, I should learn more about the stories of those from my community, find out what people are still going through and what more can be done to help. Just because I can now feel free to live with my partner, get married, wear a dress to a party, am I safe to just be? I don't think so… I do not always feel like I know where I fit in and even Gay Pride, for example, does not always represent every voice in our community. How do we change that? I think Tony Tang's Passion on the Night Tube, will give some great insight to stories we should be hearing more of, in theatre, film, literature and in conversation.
Passion On The Night Tube runs from Jan 29 – Feb 2.
I'm looking forward to seeing Creative Destruction's I Don't Know What To Do because this is the exact mindset I have constantly – like on a daily basis. As a vegan who runs the podcast 'It all Vegan With friends', I am repeatedly asked questions like, "do you drink almond milk and did you know that it uses more water than dairy?" Yes I do know that, I read it in one of the many books I ploughed through before making a decision that I thought was best. It's incredibly hard to be perfect today, but I believe we could be kinder to each other when working it all out. This piece might bring comfort to myself and others in knowing we're not alone in our thoughts, but also like every piece on this subject, it will probably make me question some personal choices and that's a good thing. We can never be over confident that we are right and I'm excited to hear what this show will have to say.
I Don't Know What To Do runs from Jan 30 – 31.

I will be clearing a date in my diary to go and see Small Myth. I admit that Holly Robinson (writer) is a pal, however, we all remember THAT review of Lyn Gardner's for her debut play, Soft Animals at Soho Theatre don't we?! Well, if not: "a rare tonal certainty, spinning between the sharply funny and the heart-breaking." Wowzers. Aside from this nepotism, I am keen to see things about climate change. It's constantly on my mind, fuelling my anxiety and I need some theatre that will either calm or embolden me to want to fight for change. And I reckon this dream team of producers and writers can do it.
Small Myth runs from Feb 18 – 20.
After interviewing Francesca Forristel last year for a piece on the making of her show, Oddball, I knew that without even seeing it, this was an artist whose work I wanted to follow. Witty, smart and imaginative, the show is just like her and it's a real cathartic one for anyone who's experienced eating disorders in the past (talking from experience), without being triggering or patronising. Forristel invites us into her thoughts exactly as they are: messy, sometimes hopeful, sometimes bemused, sometimes damn right tired of everything. She is a blooming impressive performer as well – I love multirolling in a solo show and she nails each character to an absolute T.
Oddball runs from Feb 14 – 16.
Samuel Sims, Managing Director
Who can resist a good argument and some cycling in their theatre show? I can't get enough of either to be honest. Over the course of an hour, This Bitch Can Heal tells the story of Jack and their girlfriend as the former races towards Extinction Rebellion after a fight. It'll be interesting to see how last year's remarkable protest will be treated here and whether it will be used as a plot point, rather than a very real issue. Domestic 'dramas' really fascinate me as more often than not, audiences are going to find some relatability and connection to them so with some sharp, inciteful writing, this could be a cracker.
This Bitch Can Heal runs from Jan 28 – 30.
Returning to the Vaults after last year's A Hundred Words for Snow, is Something Awful by Flux Theatre and Director-writer duo Lucy Jane Atkinson and Tatty Hennessy. The show is inspired by the real true crime story of the Slenderman, most recently depicted in a critically-panned film but a chilling and intriguing story nonetheless. I'm obsessed with giving myself sleepless nights and mild heart attacks so this should be fun…
Something Awful runs from Jan 28 – Feb 2.
Brand new company, Scripped Up, which champions D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent writers comes to the Vaults with Tinted, a revolutionary disabled response to the #metoo hashtag. It's disappointing that there aren't more shows this year (or any for that matter), led by disabled artists so every effort should be made to get ourselves over to this one.
Tinted runs from Feb 11 – 16.

A Younger Theatre (AYT) is a platform for young people to express their views on theatre and performance. The site is maintained, edited and published by under 26 year olds who all have a passion for theatre.


A Yuma County man reportedly used the Web site MySpace.com to set up meetings with a minor he allegedly molested on at least two occasions.
The parents of the 14-year-old victim learned on March 9 she had been using MySpace.com to communicate with the 21-year-old suspect. He enticed her into meeting with him, which is when the molestations occurred, according to a Yuma County Sheriff's Office news release.
Joshua Hernandez-Reyes, 4333 W. Verde St., was arrested after YCSO conducted an investigation into the incidents.

At last, a speedy approval for Romero
The closing of the diocesan process (1996). San Salvador canonization office.
Pope Francis has approved a decree that Archbishop Oscar A. Romero is a martyr, confirming an earlier decision last month by a group of theologians. The news came on the same date—February 3rd—on which Romero was named Archbishop of San Salvador in 1977. [Why Romero matters today]
The Pope's action followed a vote earlier that same day whereby a commission of cardinals gave their approval. The vote of the cardinals, like that of the theologians before it, was unanimous, according to Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the postulator of the Cause. The decree was to have been delivered to the Pope on Thursday, but he asked to have it right away. The cardinals' vote itself marked a sudden acceleration for the Romero cause, given that the cardinals' ratification of theologians' votes normally take several months to come. To wit: said lapse of time was five months in the case of Saint John Paul II; six months in the case of Opus Dei founder Saint Josemaría Escrivá; and eleven months for Bl. Jerzy Popieluszko, the Polish martyr beatified via fast track a mere 22 years after his death at the hands of the Communist regime. By contrast, the wait has been less than one month for Archbishop Romero—the briefest of all the cases studied by Super Martyrio. Not so for the process that went before.
Super Martyrio has learned details of the cause that corroborate the legend of a cause of beatification blocked by Vatican authorities on suspicion of doctrinal irregularities and ideological exploitation by the Left. But, according to the information, the legend is wrong in supposing Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI had "blocked" the cause; in fact, the obstacles came from the Vatican Curia, and Pope Wojtyla in particular gave his support to counter their opposition, while Benedict remained neutral when he was part of the Curia and was favorably inclined as Pope. Although some parts of the narrative had already been aired, dramatic new details illustrate the diversion and almost total obstruction of the cause.
Started formally in 1994, the cause for the first Salvadoran saint has depended entirely on the will of other players. Even from the economic standpoint: according to the Salvadoran prelate Msgr. Jesus Delgado, "the Church that sojourns in El Salvador has spent not a cent to cover the costs" of the cause. Writing in the diocesan weekly Orientación this past January 25, Delgado revealed that, "it is the Sant'Egidio community in Rome, which took on not only the work involved in the prosecution of Archbishop Romero's beatification cause, but also the costs of the same."
After being established by the Salvadoran Church, the cause spent most of its existence in a state of bureaucratic paralysis: 15 of the 21 years since its institution were spent under a "continuance" dictated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1998, which was not officially lifted until April 2013. During that time, it was subjected to three intensive tests outside of the normal path for a cause. First, from 1998 to 2004, Romero's homilies were subjected to a thorough study, on suspicion of deviation from orthodoxy. Second, even after being absolved of doctrinal errors, Romero was subjected to an analysis of the relationship between his faith and pastoral action. More recently, Vatican authorities signaled concerns about "prudential" considerations, as Pope Francis put it this past August.
In fact, the enemies of Archbishop Romero struck even before his cause was formally filed. In 1993—the year before the start of the cause—they presented objections to the Vatican Secretariat of State, raising concerns about Romero. (That the objections were submitted to this body suggests that they came from high levels.) The argument leveled to defeat the cause, exposed previously in this blog, was that Archbishop Romero was a naive Saint, who possessed spiritual virtues, but also suffered from psychological weaknesses that left him prone to manipulation by a "cadre" of extremist priests, who played him like a puppet, inserting revolutionary words into his sermons.
The popular belief that Pope John Paul II sought to block the cause is disproved. In fact, when people opposed to beatifying Romero launched their first strike, the Polish Pope had preempted them. As early as 1983, after visiting Romero's tomb, John Paul had given his "total approval" for initiating a beatification process, according to Monsignor Delgado, who asked the Pontiff's permission on behalf of the local church in March of that year. John Paul even advised the Salvadoran Church about the right time to start the case. In Making Saints: How the Catholic Church Determines who Becomes a Saint, Who Doesn't, And Why (1996), Kenneth Woodward reveals that John Paul asked the Salvadoran Church not to begin the process until a time in which they could be assured of having a positive reception in the Vatican. Woodward, p. 45.
However, Romero's enemies found high-ranking allies in the Colombian Cardinals Alfonso López Trujillo and Dario Castrillon Hoyos. The first, López Trujillo, raised objections about the supposed closeness between Romero and the Jesuit Jon Sobrino. "The stories about Lopez Trujillo and Fr. Ellacuría—and especially Archbishop Romero—and me are endless," Sobrino wrote in 2007. "I know very well that my possible influence over his writings and homilies has been a problem for his canonization in the Vatican", said Sobrino. "I wrote a text of some 20 pages about it. And I signed it."
In fact, Super Martyrio has learned that in April 1997, the Congregation for the Clergy—led by Castrillón Hoyos—revived the manipulation hypothesis originally aired in 1993, with Jon Sobrino as the target of accusations of having controlled Romero, to stop the beatification. The following year, the possible beatification of the Salvadoran martyr was formally derailed when the file was transferred from the Congregation for the causes of Saints to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith—the church body that had led the campaign against Liberation Theology in previous years. In March 1998, the CDF ordered freezing the beatification cause until an exhaustive analysis of all Romero's homilies could be carried out to search for doctrinal defects—presumably based on the suspected manipulation and influence of Sobrino.
When Pope John Paul II inserted Romero's name on a list of "witnesses of the faith" of the 20th century to be honored at the Colosseum in Rome during the Jubilee of the year 2000, Romero was being investigated on suspicion of possible heresy or at least Marxist influence. "Remember, father of the poor and the marginalized, those who witnessed to the truth and charity of the Gospel by giving their own lives", said the prayer raised that May 7, 2000: "zealous pastors, such as the unforgettable Archbishop Oscar Romero, murdered at the altar during the celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice". The ailing Pope entered Romero's name in the list in his own hand.
However, it would be over four years until the CDF concluded its investigation into Romero's homilies. Although no doctrinal error was found, the devil's advocates did not quit and immediately insisted on a second inquiry into Romero's pastoral action, which was ordered in November 2004. Emboldened by the finding of no doctrinal error, the postulator of the cause, Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, apparently tried to force a vote in the Congregation of Saints in 2005, the year of the 25th anniversary of Romero's death. Paglia told John Allen that he expected "good news within a month" in September of that year. However, Paglia lost a great ally with the death of Pope John Paul II, and a year later authorities unveiled in public statements that the cause was proceeding slowly. In 2006, the Vatican issued a finding strongly criticizing Sobrino's work.
Despite the impasse, the doubts about Romero were gradually dissipating. In a press conference in May 2007, Pope Benedict said he had no doubt that Romero merited beatification, and in February 2008, he said in a speech to Salvadoran bishops that Romero was a "Pastor full of love for God" who had promoted the evangelization of El Salvador. But even these encouraging statements reflected vestiges of the manipulation hypothesis, since it had supposed that Romero exhibited personal holiness, but that his personal virtue was tainted by a so-called exploitation. In his comments to the press, Benedict emphasized that "the problem" had been that "a political party wrongly wished to use him as their badge, as an emblematic figure. How can we shed light on his person in the right way and protect it from these attempts to exploit it? This is the problem," he said.
After mentioning Romero in three public speeches between 2007 and 2008, Benedict does not utter his name again in public for the rest of his pontificate. Three years later, in April 2011, the CDF pronounces itself: the exploitation concerns raised by Benedict remained unresolved. The "continuance" ordered in 1998 would stay in place. However, the causes of the suspension were eroding. Initially, the concern had been doctrinal error. Not finding it, Romero's actions were scoured for pastoral defects. Now, the only remaining issues were possible manipulations and certain ambiguities. Of course, on the opposite column, Romero had achieved a higher international profile than other servants of God in process of beatification.
In 2012, the year prior to his historic papal resignation, Benedict XVI told Msgr. Paglia and Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, the new authority at the CDF, that the time had come to lift the "continuance" and allow the cause to run along a normal course. The decision was formalized by Pope Francis in April 2013. Since then, Msgr. Paglia resumed the work that had been halted in 1998, of drafting the Positio Super Martyrio—the closing brief to present to the Congregation for the causes of Saints. After presenting it in November 2014, it was only two months before a panel of nine theologians voted unanimously that Romero was a martyr, as the Salvadoran Church had originally proposed 21 years before.
On the day the Pope approved the decree certifying Romero's martyrdom, the Salvadoran Church announced that all church bells throughout the country will peal at 6 o'clock to celebrate the news. The date of the beatification is being worked out, but its location will be in San Salvador, at the Divine Savior monument, led by Cardinal Amato of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Msgr. Delgado is in Rome to work on a date with Vatican authorities. Archbishop Paglia has set a press conference for Wednesday. Super Martyrio will continue to monitor and report on the details.

'I Inherited A Failed State' – Governor Amosun
The out-going governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun says that Gbenga Daniel, his predecessor, handed over 'a failed state' to him in 2011, Igbere Tv reports.He alleged that Gbenga Daniel handed over a state that was characterised by poor economy, deplorable infrastructure and insecurity, which prevented investors from investing in the state.Amosun, who was represented by Taiwo Adeoluwa, secretary to the state government, spoke at a press conference to launch Ogun State Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency. He said unlike him, Dapo Abiodun, governor-elect of the state, will inherit an economically viable state.He mentioned some of the achievements of his administration to include increasing the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the state and improving the ease of doing business in the state.He said; "When we came in 2011, Ogun State appeared to have failed as a State. Investors were running away from the State because of the high level of insecurity in the State but today, the State is ranked 4th on the list of State with the ease of doing business.As at the last count, our activities as a government has attracted 473 mega companies which some investing as much as N2billion. Not only that, we took the IGR of the State from the paltry sum of N700million to N7billion per month. But we are not relenting on all these achievements.We know we have been very successful, but we need to consolidate on the success we have achieved and that is why we are establishing this agency." Igbere Tv reports.Amosun will return to the senate after winning his bid to represent Ogun central senatorial district.Source; http://saharareporters.com/2019/05/24/gbenga-daniel-left-ogun-failed-state-says-amosun

Today we call this thought leadership. Thought leadership is not easy and it is not natural. It's not supernatural, either. It is an acquired skill that can be taught and practised.
This is because the main Darwinian purpose of the triune human brain is to quickly lock-in a point-of-view, as situations arise, so we can react and survive.
Leadership is about action and so it is with thought leadership. The difference between thought and thought leadership is the difference between ideas and deeds.
I have written about this many times and have called this talk and action gap, The Impossible Barrier, because so few people are ever able to cross over from one side to the other … from KNOWING to DOING.
What is The Impossible Barrier? It is the barrier that separates an individual from actually doing what s/he already knows how to do. KNOWING is one thing. DOING is another. If I were asked to guess, based on my many years experience of teaching skills to thousands of people of four continents, "What is the ratio of KNOWERS to DOERS?" I would say not better than 250:1.
Watching the Australian Open is great but we are only spectators by the many thousands. Only the very few are actually slamming an ace on the line!
Stand up paddle surfing is really quite easy, what people find difficult is the sudden movements of the board with the waves causing panic, the breath catches the joints lock and they fall. If you watch someone new to paddle surfing you will see them constantly falling off the board even experienced prone surfers have a hard time. Experiencing the kinetics by being engaged with the board and the water is needed. Metaphorically from the theory of the triune brain – our human brain will understand the process, the feeling of motion, engage the mammal brain, counter the fear response, direct the reptile brain to keep our breathing stable keeping the joints relaxed and fluid. You can know this but without PRR enjoy getting wet.
• We do not think with our brain, which is rather a Co-ordinator /controller, but we think with our whole body, so we can train our brain to be much more powerful.
• Our brains sometimes lose the sense of the time, that shows a gap between the perception of the flowing of time and the physical time.
• We seem to be unable to keep in our minds all the facts we have accumulated, and it appears that our limited brains capacities lead us to create new methods and construct new systems.
• I cannot leave out of consideration the "negative energy" which sometimes prevents me from completely expressing myself and becomes predator of my ''positive energy'' and influences the process of my thinking in order to block the memory and the experience. It is a mechanism from which it is difficult to escape .
• We should learn to recall the most suitable personality(weakness and strenghts) to face a situation or to exercise the faculties needed at the moment, If we understand how to recall our personalities we can optimise our learning and skills.
• If we don't think, how then can we "act"?. And if we don't act, how then can we think? What is a thing which we cann't think about? a thing Which is much more different or complex than we think and it isn't connected with our minds or physical sences as we think.
• It is necessary for us to be able to get to know experiences which could be very different from our current life.
• The concept of life itself is not a theoretic concept. It is rather action, experience, behaviour and responsibility. Life is made of actions, events, choices, imperfect things, not of beautiful ideas.
• The lateral thinking is a technique which has been created to develop our capability of living. It is a good way to enhance our talents, our creativity and, most of all, to enable us to awake our inside power which is much more complete than the rational and logical means. It is a way of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
• I think that Thoughts are not things we produce, but they are things we collect and combine together with each other. Thoughts are not part of us, they don't belong to us, but we identify ourselves with our thoughts.
The reason for the difficulty in escaping from ones point of view is biological. Man in his natural environment seeks predictability. Predictability in where his next meal is coming from and where he will seek shelter for the night. When these problems have been solved, he seeks predictability in other areas. In the man made world predictability was rewarded until relatively recently. Now the emphasis in on the speed of evolution of ideas and by extension technology. In order to speed the evolution of ideas one needs the opposite of predictability . One needs interruption and provocation and any other catalyst that stimulates change.
It is interesting that we cement a pattern (point of view) in our brain in order to use very fast to survive. Probably driven by ancient requirements to react to a threat. We still need this pattern, but not as much as in the past. We have the luxury now to do things a bit slower, and also to search. The funny thought I had was that humans are very good at cementing and holding a pattern and not being able to escape. Their are lots of humans trying to get machines (computers) to do the same thing. But perhaps this is not how we should use machines. Perhaps, given a desire, machines could be better used to help escape, i.e. randomly match two counter points of view to see if it provides a survival advantage. The wicked problem of course is to define, what is the definition of survival advantage in the current environment, who gets it, and what to do when the environment changes. This leads me to the better point of view that humans just need to learn to solve these kinds of problems themselves, because if we don't, someone/thing else might, and to their own advantage.

Minx was an imprint of DC Comics that published graphic novels aimed at teenage girls. It ran from 2007 to 2008.

History

Launch
Minx was announced in November 2006, following several years of planning. Senior Vice President Karen Berger and Group Editor Shelly Bond were supervising the imprint.

DC had contracted [Alloy Marketing + Media to market the line's books, with a budget of $125,000 to $250,000. Berger said that the success of translated manga and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis among teenage girls helped motivate the creation of the imprint.

Rachel Kitzmann, a Los Angeles Public librarian, emphasized that the Minx imprint was focused "on real world, plausible situations" and that the "MINX books are an attempt to contract two different formats: the content of YA literature with various types of art. [...] The content of MINX diverged from the traditional aim as American comic books don't typically put the focus on an internal emotional journey, and even manga aimed at girls (shojo) has an extraordinary element. MINX truly focused on the external and internal lives of teenage girls".

Initial online reaction to the imprint had some controversy over the sexual connotations of the name as well as the small proportion of female creators in the lineup, especially due to an emphasis on female creators in The New York Times article that broke the story.

Shutdown
In September 2008, Comic Book Resources (CBR) reported the confirmation of the imprint's cancellation. Some remaining projects would be published, while others were cancelled. CBR summed the situation up:

Of the imprint-closing titles, Emiko Superstar, Token and The PLAIN Janes 2: Janes in Love were published. The sequels to The New York Four and Clubbing were all canceled along with
the nearly complete All Nighter. All Nighter'''s creator David Hahn said: "Over the past two-and-a-half years, I've ignored my other creator-owned projects to devote my efforts to 'All Nighter', so somehow, I will see to it that it eventually gets published".

Most of the explanations for the imprint's downfall focus on the failure of distributor Random House to place the books in the Young Adult section of major bookstores. However, creators who were questioned said they felt that this could have been achieved if given more time. Kitzmann highlighted that graphic novels have to fight for shelf space in libraries & that the Los Angeles Public Library divides its graphic novel section between American comics and manga. Kitzmann wrote that "this type of shelving is not conductive for the MINX titles to find the appropriate audience. A graphic novel is not picked up because no one know about it, and no one knows about it because it is difficult to find. Since it is difficult to find, people don't care to try, which leads to the format stagnating with only a few key publishers/characters that appeal to a devoted few. It is this cycle of exclusion that makes the ending of MINX a sad but almost inevitable lesson".

Lucia Serantes, in the book Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas (2014), wrote "the reasons for the imprint's cancelation are still unclear and it has received a rather unusual attention from the mainstream press, reflecting the opinions of readers, creators, and critics. Some consider that the female audience in comics was not as large and strong as expected; others criticized the lack of time given to the project to establish a name and audience and the fact that the imprint never made it into general bookstores where their target audience tends to shop".

Post-shutdown publications
Brian Wood and Ryan Kelley's New York Four had a sequel published under DC's Vertigo imprint, entitled New York Five. It launched in January 2011. In 2014, Dark Horse "acquired several backlist titles by Wood originally published by Vertigo and Minx" as part of a push into the YA market. Dark Horse published "a new combined edition of the two-book series New York Four/Five, created with artist Ryan Kelly, followed by a new edition of DEMO, with art by Becky Cloonan".

Also in 2011, David Hahn's All Nighter was published as a mini-series by Image Comics.

In 2020, The P.L.A.I.N. Janes was reissued by Little, Brown for Young Readers. It also included a third new volume by the original creators Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg.

 Legacy
Graeme McMillan, for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote, "Minx as a whole was an imprint significantly ahead of its time, with a number of its creators, including [Cecil] Castellucci, Mariko Tamaki, Joelle Jones and Sophie Campbell, finding mainstream comic industry success in the wake of its closure". Brian Heater, for Publishers Weekly, highlighted that the Minx imprint "targeted at a wholly underserved segment of the comics market: teenage girls. It was a bold and laudable creation, but a concept that was also a bit ahead of its time. Minx closed shop just over a year after launch. But in retrospect, the names on those Minx graphic novels read like a who's who of comics creators, including such highly regarded artists as Derek Kirk Kim, Mariko Tamaki and Jim Rugg".

In 2017, Abraham Riesman, for Vulture, highlighted that "up until recently, there was a near-total disconnect between kids and comics. Just ten years ago, DC tried to do a young-adult comics line called MINX, but it was shuttered after only a few months" and that the recent shift in audience for graphic novels didn't have to do with either Marvel or DC Comics. Riesman wrote that the "shift was the result of decisions made by librarians, teachers, kids'-book publishers, and people born after the year 2000. Abruptly, the most important sector in the world of sequential art has become graphic novels for young people. [...] According to Milton Griepp of comics-industry analysis site ICv2, aggregated annual comics sales across different kinds of retailers for 2016 revealed that more than half of the top-ten comics franchises were ones aimed at kids. [...] DC is hiring for a new division targeted at young readers, and has already done a bit of a stealth launch by publishing youth-friendly takes on their fabled characters like Supergirl: Being Super and DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis".

Timothy Donohoo, for CBR in 2020, compared the failure of the Minx imprint with the success of the more recent DC Ink imprint which also targets the YA audience. Donohoo stated: "One of the biggest changes DC has made with DC Ink titles, as opposed to the direction of Minx, is base the current line around familiar DC superhero franchises. [...] The authors behind DC Ink, while typically being first-timers in comics, already have their own fanbases through pre-existing young adult novels. This gives them a built-in brand, while also allowing newcomers to bring their writing styles and world views into comics. The DC Ink books have also been accessible in everyday stores such as Wal-Mart, a benefit which most regular comic books do not have. On the other hand, the Minx titles struggled to be shelved in even dedicated bookstores, as sellers didn't know whether to place them amongst the comics or the YA section. The current superhero and comic book movie boom had also not quite begun when Minx titles were published".

Q: Lost reference created window after surfing I have creating a new browser window win by #new-window-idclick. And I have events system with that window. Closing win.closed for example. Everything is work until I go to links inside the created window.
 $('#new-window-id').on('click', function(){

                var finalUrl = $(this).attr('href');
                var win = window.open(
                    finalUrl,
                    'fullWindowMode');

                console.log('created '+ win.name);
                var timer = setInterval(function() {

                    if(win.closed) {
                        console.log('closed '+ finalUrl);
                        clearInterval(timer);

                        document.getElementById('#iframeID').contentWindow.location.reload();
                    }

                }, 1000);

            });

So I have iframe on main page. I want to open it in a new window and edit a content there. Then after closing created window, my main page iframe should be updated.

Steps:

*

*Click the link #new-window-id/ //window is opened.

*Close window. win.closed is work!

When doesn't work

Steps:

*

*Click the link #new-window-id/ //window is opened.

*In the window edit blog post. (url was changed)

*Close window. event win.closed doesn't work!

But it breaks if I surfing inside created window. Exists way to keep this connection?

A: I did the following:
1. Created a window let w = window.open('http://ya.ru')
2. Navigated in that window (within the same site)
3. Checked w.closed in the main window (false)
4. Then closed the popup and checked again (true).
Looks like w.closed works even after navigation.
But if you navigate to another origin in the new window, then location.reload() will become inaccessible from the main window.

Continue To Move On
utpal | Category: Sri Chinmoy center activity | 1 Comment
Tags: Ambassador Davidson Hepburn, Meditation, Peace Run, Sri Chinmoy
A few months ago while visiting Cambodia I spoke with career UN diplomat, His Excellency Davidson L Hepburn. Having absolutely zero political experience I was curious and hopeful that he might shed some light on what is currently happening in the world and whether or not he was still optimistic.
"There are many answers to this question but I feel strongly that we spend a lot of time in talking about the bad things that are happening in our lives instead of talking about the good things."
Ambassador Hepburn doesn't suggest that we push negative thoughts into the background. "You need to have them in the foreground so that people will know that there are good things and evil things in the world."
"But I feel that if we make up our minds to what we are doing here. This meditation group is the answer to all the problems that we have. I am impressed that you all are so dedicated to this. You can't concentrate a great deal on the evil that is happening in the world. It is not going to stop. You have to continue what you are doing. It is very good. In that way you counteract the evil that is happening."
When asked if he can detect progress in the world. "I don't think it is possible for us to determine the degree of progress that we have made in achieving peace. I feel we have to look at this step by step."
Ambassador Hepburn told a cute story. "I asked a little girl, what was peace, and she said, peace is when I am fighting with my sister. That to me made a great deal of sense. Because once you have got this thing out of you, you have communicated it in a way. You are then able to go on to the next step."
"You can't concentrate on the bad things. If you are going to concentrate on anything then you should concentrate on the good things. That will then pacify your concerns about the evil that is in the world."
"When I walk around here, (Siem Reap Cambodia) when I see what is going on. I don't understand the people. I don't understand the culture, but I do see, what I consider to be a great deal of suffering and pain. But these people don't seem to be dwelling on that."
"They go along with their lives. They try to make it work, as effectively as they possibly can. The moment you slink off into a corner, and concentrate on the negative things that are happening. The worse it is going to be."
"No matter how bad it gets you should be concentrating on what's good. When I leave here, what I do is concentrate on this mediation group. You can't imagine what help, what kind of assistance, what kind of joy I get from being a part of this."
He recalls Sri Chinmoy once saying, "you must continue to go on. Success is ahead of you, and if you give up before you reach the end than you are going to be losing out on what might have happened."
Ambassador Hepburn then gave reference to his long friendship with Adhiratha. How he never gave up on him. "I think that says a lot for the kind of thing that I think we should be doing in our lives. To continue to press on with what we have in ourselves."
He speaks about the very close and brotherly relationship that he maintained with Sri Chinmoy over the years. "He was able to do so many different things with his life and that emanated from him."
"He made you feel as though you were part of this. My concern always is that when I leave being with the meditation group (Return to the Bahamas). Whether or not I will be able to have this experience continue with me."
Ambassador Hepburn is 85 years old and is still maintaining a busy schedule. I asked whether he agreed with Sri Chinmoy's philosophy about no retirement. "Of course there isn't. That is the whole point."
"I think if you are talking about peace continuing, if you give up by believing that you have accomplished just what you have worked for. Then that is the wrong way to look at it."
"I think you should continue to build on whatever you have done. Once you have stopped then you have defeated the purpose."
As for the future, "I try and not set a benchmark. My goal is to continue to do what I am doing and to see what benefit I can get out of it for others. Not for me."
"But it is very difficult when you look what is happening around you and see that you are faced with so many trials and tribulations. You can easily wonder, what in the world am I doing this for. But that is when you fight. That is when you continue to move on."
Currently Ambassador Hepburn is trying to set up an institute for International Relations. "All I want to do is bring people together. And this is what I think the meditation group is doing."
"This mediation group consists of over 100 countries who get together to try and bring about a kind of love that is lasting. That is never going to fade away. Some of us may fall by the wayside but you can rest assured that the foundation has been laid. That is what I think is so very important. "

"There is a saying in the Sanskrit scriptures: Charai veti, 'Move on, move on!' This was the realisation of our Vedic seers. If you don't move on, you will be caught by ignorance. So always be alert, cautious and careful, and move on, move on, move on. If you move on, one day you will reach the Goal, where ignorance will not dare to touch you."
Sri Chinmoy, The ambition-deer, Agni Press, 1974
*Dr. Davidson Hepburn was the President of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 35th Governing Council (2009 -2011). During that time he encouraged many to visit World Heritage sites around world. He explained why in messages he sent to the Sri Chinmoy Oneness- Home World Harmony and Peace Runs which he has experienced in his native Bahamas, Kazakhstan,
Malta and other locations
*"I was delighted to see the Run visit a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites… drawing attention to the efforts of the international community to protect so many cultures around the world. Initiatives such as the …Run contribute significantly to the realisation of one of UNESCO's principal mandates: mutual understanding and our shared determination to build and strengthen a culture of peace and harmony" See the full video message from UNESCO with sub titles in 25 languages for the 25th anniversary of the runs at http://www.worldharmonyrun.org/25.html
* Dr. Hepburn showed his continued commitment in 2018 as he personally visited the Angkor World Heritage sites in Siem Reap Cambodia with many members of the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home international torch relay teams from around the world. Also part of the tour were many longtime friends from the Peace Meditation at the UN from when Davidson Hepburn was Ambassador and Permanent Representative of his country during the 1970s and 80s (a decade) at the UN in NY. It was where he first became friends with Sri Chinmoy.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, and substantial opposition from community groups, public-private partnerships (PPPs) are still being promoted to deliver sustainable development.
Public-private hospital partnerships are supposed to ensure that the private sector will offer much needed efficiency in healthcare provision.
However, any government considering healthcare PPPs should be aware of the Australian experience, especially after what has happened with the Northern Beaches Hospital, a PPP between the New South Wales government and Healthscope.
The A$600m facility was officially opened with much fanfare on 19 November 2018. With a A$2.2 billion 20-year contract, it was billed as the flagship project for the NSW government to hand over to the private sector delivery of a wide range of public services from prisons to technical education to health.

Cogwheels Carved in Wood brings together paintings, drawings and films by Derek Boshier alongside the work of five younger artists whose art responds, in different ways, to our daily interactions with digital screens. Together the collection explores how virtual space has impacted upon the way that these artists deal with images and materials. The exhibition has been curated by Jonathan Griffin and includes work which 'exists on the increasingly uncertain threshold of the virtual and the tangible worlds'.


The chef's blade is perhaps one of the most important knife that all kitchen areas should be equipped with. I said that each kitchen blade has a specific objective which it was created for, the chef's blade is the most flexible of them all. It can be used for most fundamental cooking area jobs for example cutting up fruits and vegetables, dicing meat as well as cutting cheese. If you only ever before buy one knife, make it a cook's blade!
The paring knife is a lot smaller than the cook's blade as well as it is mainly made for use with fruits and vegetables. The small size makes it excellent for peeling and coring fruits, although it is not made for slicing or cutting fruit, so you might need to switch over blades for that.
A carving blade, as the name recommends, is designed particularly for carving joints of meat. The lengthy, sharp blade is suitable to offer you wonderful control over the thickness of the pieces and ensure that you do not existing people with thick doorstops of roast beef.
The cleaver is additionally made to be used with meat, yet except carving. The large size makes this the blade of selection for puncturing bones and also challenging external flesh. A cleaver can nevertheless additionally be rather handy for finer tasks such as carefully slicing veggies and also herbs. The level edge can also be fantastic for crushing garlic, however you require to be cautious that you do this in a risk-free fashion as well as don't run the risk of reducing yourself on the sharp side of the blade.
Unlike the majority of the various other knives we've discussed, a bread blade has a serrated blade. This makes it perfect for the sawing activity which is required to slice fresh baked bread. Using a good sharp bread blade will let you cut bread easily as well as aid to keep the within the bread soft and resilient instead of pressing everything with each other as you reduced. Go to this link to see a professional chefs knives comparison.
A boning knife is much smaller than a chef's blade and also has a long, thin blade that makes it best for deboning meat such as poultry. This style of kitchen area blade can be found in different sizes for use with various sized cuts of meat.
Celebrity blade is the one which has the amusing shaped bent blade which ends in a two-pronged arc. This is made use of like a fork to be able to grab the cheese which has been trimmed. The blade itself is similar to a butter knife and is designed for puncturing hard cheese or soft cheese, both fairly quickly.
We have pointed out fairly a few of the fundamental cooking area blades here there are additionally some others which are designed for specific tasks which you may need much less frequently, for example oyster blades are just truly helpful if you routinely eat oysters!
The cooking area knives we have chatted about below are actually those which are basic to most everyday tasks and also are most definitely the ones you need to make sure you have in your kitchen drawer. If you do not currently have most or all of these different blades, buying a blade block can be a good way of making sure that you have every one of the fundamental kitchen blades you will certainly require to do most points conveniently as well as securely in your kitchen area.

6 Major League Baseball Teams Dominating the Social Media Game
Nick Rogers
MarketingSocial Media
Major league baseball has long been called "America's favorite pastime" and for good reason. Now that the 2018 MLB baseball season is in full swing fans are pouring into stadiums and bars around the world to watch their favorite teams compete.
Online, however, MLB marketing teams are hard at work posting engaging content to social media. With access to a plethora of adrenaline pumping moments, baseball teams are some of the most exciting brands to follow on social media.
But which major league baseball teams are truly killing it on social media? We found six that are a notch above the rest and worth a follow whether you're a baseball fan or not.
1. San Francisco Giants
On the field, the San Francisco Giants have won three World Series titles in the last decade. Off the field, the Giants boast more than 5 million followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. But what we love about following the Giants on social media is their creative use of hashtags in their posts.
Sometimes all it takes is a perfectly placed hashtag to get the point across:
#MacAttack
#SFGiants pic.twitter.com/ozHAQkwxB5
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) April 25, 2018
The Giants also use general hashtags to tie their content into a relevant conversation like #TBT or their own branded hashtag #SFGiants:
Brandon BELTing 💣 #SFGSpring
A post shared by sfgiants (@sfgiants) on Mar 5, 2020 at 2:13pm PST
Hashtags are an incredibly powerful way to increase brand awareness, promote campaigns, and even join a movement!
Follow the Giants on Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
2. Oakland Athletics
Even if the Oakland Athletics (the A's) haven't won a World Series since 1989, they've proven their social media is worthy of a world series title.
The A's do a great job of weaving multimedia into their social updates. You'll see everything from gif to videos (including live video) to infographics and even rhymes. The comms team has shown that they are agnostic in their choice of content, as long as it's creative and relevant.
We took the first two
Now isn't that neat?

We go for the sweep.

As marketers and PR folks, we often forget that social media isn't only about "selling products". People are on social media to be entertained and that's what the A's deliver, back-to-back-to-back.

Where should we start with the New York Yankees?
27 World Series, the most connected MLB fanbase in the world, and of course, the largest social media following (by far) with more than 13 million people tagging along.
The New York Yankees are masters at engaging fans with compelling stories that make them feel like they're a part of history. Sometimes they remind fans of the organization's nostalgic past and other times, they give a subtle nod to modern day greats.

This helps fans, old and new, rally around the team's newest traditions as well as Yankees' traditions that have been around for more than a century.

4. Colorado Rockies
5,280 Feet above sea level at the base of the Rocky Mountains, you'll find one of the most beloved teams in the MLB, the Colorado Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies ingeniously use their social media channels to give fans content they can't find anywhere else. Using real-time social media monitoring and engagement, the Rockies post live photos and updates during the game for fans who can't be there.

5. Los Angeles Dodgers
Like the Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers are keepers of some of the most iconic baseball moments in history.

But that doesn't stop them from creating content that is relevant today.
The Dodgers' social media strategy is a little less flashy than the others but equally effective. They use a cross-promotion strategy to keep fans engaged across a variety of platforms.

This allows the Dodgers to reach their fans when and where they want while helping to build awareness around key initiatives such as their Facebook Live show.

6. Chicago Cubs
In 2016, The Chicago Cubs finally broke the more than 100-year-old team curse and won the World Series.
Up until that point, however, they certainly weren't cursed on social media. The Cubs team used social media to shift the narrative from the "team that couldn't seem to win" to the team that completed one of the hardest feats in sports. In one of my favorite sports videos of the year, the Cubs perfectly sums it up:
Today is our day. #FlyTheW pic.twitter.com/F3yTo6gjcA
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) November 3, 2016
Similar to the Colorado Rockies, The Cubs' social media accounts have a distinctive voice – the voice of a loyal Cubs fan. They broadcast the unwavering we-can-do-it spirit of players and fans, a message that comes across in every single post.
Follow the Cubs on Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
PR Takeaways from Major League Baseball Teams Social Accounts
At first glance, you might not think you can learn all that much from major league baseball teams on social media.
But a deeper look shows that they are experts at connecting with fans in meaningful ways while using various content types to spark excitement. Use these lessons in a social media strategy to drive new audiences to your accounts, increase engagement, and even sell some tickets!

Q: sshfs mapped folder changes group ownership from apache to wheel Problem:
When I save a php file to a development server over sshfs, the group is changed from apache to wheel. Given that the file belongs to my user and is readable by apache, this breaks the dev copy. I have to reset the group after every save.
Server file permissions:
As recommended by the Drupal community, my user owns the files but they are grouped to apache.
How I'm mapped:
I have a script that helps me do a local map to development servers running RHEL 7.1, change the folder in term, open a file browser, and start PHP Storm. I've set up the following convenience function for myself to do all this in one nice command.
$ sshmap devsvr
Which executes this function:
function sshmap {

  if [[ -z $2 ]]; then
    basefolder="/var/www/html/"
  else
    basefolder=$2
  fi

  fusermount -uz ~/mount/$1
  mkdir -p ~/mount/$1
  sshfs me@$1.domain.ext:$basefolder ~/mount/$1

  # file browser
  nemo  ~/mount/$1 &

  # change local folder to that mount point
  cd ~/mount/$1

  # start phpstorm
  pstorm $HOME/mount/$1 2>/dev/null &
}

Question:
How can I control this and prevent this change? Is there an argument in sshfs that I'm missing?
Errata:

However, they are only 150yds across the street through The Village courtyard and up to the Quicksilver Lift. This wonderful property was built in 2001 and offers 1-3 bedroom condominiums. Our guests enjoy the heated underground parking, outdoor hot tub, elevator access and wonderful town or mountain views.


Plotting a map brings about two issues: colors and scale, as they both have to work together to best describe your data or else failure is on the line.
To have a better perception of how colors look on a map, I find very useful this website Color Brewer by Cindy Brewer (read a recent interview here), which gives advice on map colors, hues and scales for various backgrounds and contexts.
Purple: color of mourning in Thailand.
for further information see this comprehensive graph of colors in culture. A good rule is also not to choose colors in order to give a good/bad message (green vs red or blue vs red), unless you are mapping the number of drowned kittens.
Once solved the color issue, which I'd like to stress should be weighted together with the choice of a specific palette, we can choose a number of class intervals, that is to say how many colors we are going to use. If I use a diverging palette for continuous variables, I prefer to have an odd number of colors, either 5 or 7 (but this fits my specific mapping requirements), so that the mid value has neutral light tones. Also, ideally breaks should mean something and not be arbitrarily chosen. R once again has a solution for this, the classInt library, which provides a set of styles to choose from for continuous numerical variables (sd, equal, pretty, quantile, kmeans, hclust, bclust, fisher, or jenks), as well as the option to set them manually (fixed).
n <- 5 # how many colors?

As the year is slowly coming to an end, it is the perfect time to reflect. I started my blog in 2015 and I can honestly say I have learnt so much since then. When I started, I did not realise that blogging is actually very hard work! It is not just quickly taking a few photos and writing a post.. Far from it.. It requires a lot of planning, organisation, time, effort and hard work! Today I am sharing with you a few of my blogging goals for 2017.
BE MORE ORGANISED. This is going to be a tricky one! I am usually super-organised. You can ask anyone I have spreadsheets, lists and everything in order. However, when it comes to blogging, I seem to always run out of time! Did you know that bloggers have a different calendar? It takes a long time to prepare a post, especially if you do a craft related project. Take Christmas for example. Most bloggers will start thinking about Christmas in July, to make sure the posts are ready early enough for those who will be 'googling' and looking for all things Christmas related. Next year I will make sure I stick to my schedule.. or at least try!
BE MORE CREATIVE. As we bought our house in July, I have been concentrating on the house so much, I have been too busy to come up with new ideas and projects! It is hard with a full time job, house renovation and a hobby that is slowly taking over my life (which I absolutely love)! There are so many amazing platforms and creative people, I need to find ways to stand out and create something new! Next year I am hoping to come up with more fun projects.
START MAKING VIDEOS. Ok this one is a biggie, because I REALLY have to start making some videos and craft tutorials. It is not that I don't want to, it is because (1) I don't like the camera – I know surprise surprise.. but I really don't I am so clumsy and I don't like the sound of my own voice (my husband will probably disagree on this one 😀 ) AND I am scared of what people will think.. (2) short video takes a VERY long time to make (3) make sure the settings are right.. the list goes on and on… BUT one of my goals next year is to make my first craft video and share it with you.. so when I eventually do – please be KIND!
BE MORE TECHNICAL. So PCs are not really my thing, even though I got A* in my computer studies in high school! Who knew there were so many technical things to know when blogging like SEO, slugs, focus keywords, shortcodes, plugins, alt tags and meta descriptions… I promise I will learn more about them and spend more time making sure my blog is more "visible"!
WORK WITH MORE BRANDS. Having my blog has given me many opportunities, I have discovered and worked with many amazing brands. I only work with brands I truly believe in and will never 'sell out' and promote something I am not happy with. Next year I am hoping to keep my working relationships with the existing brands and work with some new ones too! Sometimes people think bloggers simply get lots of stuff for free! It is not entirely true.. Yes I have received many items for reviews free of charge, but they are never really free. We put a lot of hard work into writing the posts, taking photographs, editing, creating visual content and promoting their product.
ATTEND EVENTS & NETWORK. This one is quite hard as I live in the Isle of Man, it can get quite costly. Maybe I should find a sponsor hey? 😀 Seriously, I would love to attend some blogger events and have to start maybe setting a budget aside as I think it is very important to create relationships with brands, PRs and most importantly fellow bloggers. Let's hope next year brings lots of opportunities and enables me to attend some of the events!
GROW SOCIAL MEDIA. Again, this one is hard as it requires lots of work. Posting every day especially on Instagram is not easy! I realised that by posting three times a day I get better engagement, but I don't have so many pretty pictures and time to add hashtags and filters three times a day every single day! I must work on that next year! I will look into more apps that help with post shceduling too.
ENJOY WHAT I DO!!! I created my blog to share my passion, and that still is the case! Yes of course it is important people see you and the blog, have lots of interraction with others, inspire the readers and 'make' them come back! However, I made this blog for myself, to express my creativity, have fun and I am truly happy that even one person wants to come and read it! so THANK YOU everyone!
This is my list.. a little longer than I first anticipated but I guess there is still lots of room for improvement. I have asked my fellow bloggers on what their blogging goals for the next year were and here is what they said.
– Anna from Anna International – Regular posting! 2016 has been chaos for me with wedding and house reno. 2017 shaping up to be crazy too but I want to prioritise my blog!
– Ange from Garden Tea Cakes and Me – To create more craft tutorials as I receive good traffic and feedback on these. Continue to implement Pinterest strategy and make this my main traffic source thus increasing my affiliate link revenue.
– Stephen from How Many Miles – To make blogging fun again. I've become so consumed by statistics and comparing myself that I have forgotten that I started blogging for fun and to inspire others to move more. Time to inject more fun into my writing.
– Karen from Well I Guess this is Growing up – I'd love to have a better schedule for publishing. I post a lot but it's sporadic. I'll be looking at investing in tools to help me do this.
– Gemma from Mayinspire – My goal is to increase my subscribers and to make sure I continue to enjoy it as much as I have the last 5 months. Here's to a fab year!
– Lucy from Real Mum Reviews – To improve my social media following and DA.
– Samantha from Coco Butter Blog – I'd love to be making enough money to go part time at work so I can grow my blog even more!
– Jenny from Accidental Hipster Mum – I'd love to be organised and write posts ahead of time so that I can stick to a consistent schedule.
– Lynne from A Day in the Life of a Mum of 6 – I wish to gain more followers and engagement through my blog posts. Also build my brand more behind the scenes and focus on networking. As a newbie I feel it's so important for me to get myself out there.
– Becky from The Art of Healthy Living – To not be so hung up on stats and to remind myself of why I started it in the first place!
– Halina from Vie Choufleur – Begin filming and editing short vlogs for inclusion within blog posts at first, eventually branching out to full-on vlogs independent of the blog!
– Angela from Cosmic Kick – I have two major goals for 2017: Attend more events (I've been blogging for years and still haven't attended any meet-ups!) and introduce video to my blog. I'm so shy in front of the camera but video is becoming more and more important and I feel like I'm being left behind! We can't be having that.
– Nicola at For the Love of Jars – I have a number of goals – I need my blog to start earning me a small income (75pence so far!) and so to do that I need to increase my posts to 3 per week, increase my social media following to 2000 accross twitter, facebook and instagram and to increase my DA to 15+. Not sure how achievable these are but I have made great progress in the last 3 months so hoping the next 12 will be amazing!
What is your goal for 2017??
Some great ambitions and goals – I really need to sit down and think about mine!
You have really great goals for 2017. Blogging really is very hard work and it does take a lot of time and planning, and there are so many things to learn.
Thank you Leah! You are so busy, how do you do it? Tips on videos would be great, I think once the first one is out of the way it gets easier.. just need to pluck up the courage!
Wow! Congrats you have achieved so much in one year. As for tech? I hear you what on earth is a slug lol? My goal is to increase page views and make a living from my blog!
These sounds like great goals! Apart from making videos, I try to stick to all of them.
You have some great goals there. I need to probably do the same especially try and be more organised.
These are great goals and I want to adhere to them too. It can sometimes get hard especially when life gets in the way. Making goals and keeping them is always a good thing though, as it is something to work for.
Those goals are so realistic and I am happy to say that most of them are my goals too! I really need to start making more videos even if its for instagram! Although I have come to realise that I should stop worrying about my social media followers. As long as people like my content, and appreciate it, I am good to go!
I'm about to start writing my 2017 blogging goals post, I quite like setting myself goals and I really want to work on them this year! All the best of luck with your goals!
Fantastic goals that I think many of us will resonate with. Blogging is really rewarding, but a lot of time and effort goes into it contrary to popular belief. I hope you reach all of your blogging goals in 2017 and look forward to seeing your videos!
