Q: Correlation of log-normal random variables Given $X_1$ and $X_2$ normal random variables with correlation coefficient $\rho$, how do I find the correlation between following lognormal random variables $Y_1$ and $Y_2$?
$Y_1 = a_1 \exp(\mu_1 T + \sqrt{T}X_1)$
$Y_2 = a_2 \exp(\mu_2 T + \sqrt{T}X_2)$
Now, if $X_1 = \sigma_1 Z_1$ and $X_2 = \sigma_1 Z_2$, where $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ are standard normals, from the linear transformation property, we get:
$Y_1 = a_1 \exp(\mu_1 T + \sqrt{T}\sigma_1 Z_1)$
$Y_2 = a_2 \exp(\mu_2 T + \sqrt{T}\sigma_2 (\rho Z_1 + \sqrt{1-\rho^2}Z_2)$
Now, how to go from here to compute correlation between $Y_1$ and $Y_2$?

A: I assume that $X_1\sim N(0,\sigma_1^2)$ and $X_2\sim N(0,\sigma_2^2)$. Denote $Z_i=\exp(\sqrt{T}X_i)$. Then
\begin{align}
\log(Z_i)\sim N(0,T\sigma_i^2)
\end{align}
so $Z_i$ are log-normal. Thus
\begin{align}
EZ_i&=\exp\left(\frac{T\sigma_i^2}{2}\right)\\
var(Z_i)&=(\exp(T\sigma_i^2)-1)\exp(T\sigma_i^2)
\end{align}
and
\begin{align}
EY_i&=a_i\exp(\mu_iT)EZ_i\\
var(Y_i)&=a_i^2\exp(2\mu_iT)var(Z_i)
\end{align}
Then using the formula for m.g.f of multivariate normal we have
\begin{align}
EY_1Y_2&=a_1a_2\exp((\mu_1+\mu_2)T)E\exp(\sqrt{T}X_1+\sqrt{T}X_2)\\
&=a_1a_2\exp((\mu_1+\mu_2)T)\exp\left(\frac{1}{2}T(\sigma_1^2+2\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2+\sigma_2^2)\right)
\end{align}
So
\begin{align}
cov(Y_1,Y_2)&=EY_1Y_2-EY_1EY_2\\
&=a_1a_2\exp((\mu_1+\mu_2)T)\exp\left(\frac{T}{2}(\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2)\right)(\exp(\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2T)-1)
\end{align}
Now the correlation of $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ is covariance divided by square roots of variances:
\begin{align}
\rho_{Y_1Y_2}=\frac{\exp(\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2T)-1}{\sqrt{\left(\exp(\sigma_1^2T)-1\right)\left(\exp(\sigma_2^2T)-1\right)}}
\end{align}

Fun in the sun as Tallafornia set to shoot new series in Majorca
THE Spanish town of Santa Ponsa had better brace itself -- the entire cast of Tallafornia 2 will be converging on it very soon for filming.
The Diary can reveal how the resort on the island of Majorca, always popular with Irish tourists, will form the venue for the new installment of the TV3 reality show.
And this one promises to be even juicier than the last series, which featured everything from castmates getting intimate in the bedroom to vajazzles.
An insider source explained how the cast will be starting filming the programme on the sun-kissed island towards the end of July and will spend over five weeks making the next show.
"They're going to be staying in a really cool villa that's in the centre of all the action. "There's a massive expat community over there, with lots of Irish bars and clubs, so that will add to all the madness as people will recognise the cast more this year than last year," he said.
"The final cast list hasn't been finalised yet but they're at the end stages of negotiations for it with lots of familiar faces coming back and the usual interesting characters."
Among those due to return to the show for a second time are Kelly Donegan and boyfriend Dave Behan, Jay Abbey, Natalie Geraghty and Phil Penny but it's not yet known if Cormac Brannigan will be coming back.
When TV3 first opened up the audition process for the programme last March, they had over 1,000 applicants from fame seekers hoping to join in some of the crew's outrageous booze-filled antics.

Damian & Tracey Terry - ex Nottingham Downs, Hughenden - Slaney & Co.
It is our pleasure to write this referral for Henry. We have known Henry and Jennifer both personally and professionally for the last 7 years.
We have consistently found Henry to be reliable, honest, a man of great integrity with drive and dedication to the job at hand. Henry was involved with the sale of our cattle and in the sale of our property "Nottingham Downs" which had been in our family for 60 years. The decision to sell was not an easy one. We had dealt with Henry as a stock agent for a long time and were inspired by his ethics and the way he represented his clients. Henry's marketing proposal was comprehensive and gave us comfort that our interests would be well represented.
The seven week Auction marketing programme was professional, the feedback during the time was great and we sold the property by negotiation after the Auction. We were extremely happy with Henry's commitment to achieving the best result for us and in giving us feedback. We feel he is knowledgeable and trustworthy, cares about his client's best interests and have no hesitation in recommending him to graziers looking to sell stock or property.
His best attribute for us above all, is that Henry is a good bloke. Easy to deal with, honest & reliable and we would definitely work with Henry again in the future.
The sale of the historic Maryvale Station in November 2016 was completed by a straight-talking, knowledgeable, reliable 'get-the-job-done' team led by Henry Slaney.

What Is Next? Transformative Communities of Practice
George Pór• • December 12, 2017 •6 min read
By George Pór for Enlivening Edge Magazine
From kindergarten to school, to my informal circles of colleagues, spiritual seekers, or fellow hobbyists—throughout my life—I've always been participating in various kinds of communities of learners. Probably, you too. At every age, my communities were always comprised not only by a web of relationships, but also by a collection of intelligences. In the early 80s, along with my first forays into cyberspace and the then-unusual world of virtual communities, I became interested in how a collection of intelligences can become a collective intelligence, how a community of learners can become a community that learns.
No wonder that a decade later, as soon as I read the phrase "communities of practice" mentioned first in public, in the company newsletter of Xerox, I trekked down from Santa Cruz, California, to Palo Alto, California, to meet the article's author, Etienne Wenger. At the time, Etienne worked at the Institute for Research on Learning, as a member of the IRL's "Research on Learning in the Workplace" team, doing ethnographic research at Xerox. Hardly did I realize that that meeting would give a new direction to my quest for collective intelligence, which was further spurred in 1987 by my interviews with Doug Engelbart.
My friendship with Etienne continued: after pioneering a new discipline called "knowledge ecology," I organized in 1998 the Knowledge Ecology Fair, a month-long virtual event attended by 400 organizational professionals, and Etienne came to give one of the keynotes. The same year, when I created an online teaching platform that I called Knowledge Ecology University, Etienne visited with me in the Santa Cruz mountains, where I lived at that time. In just a couple of days, we co-designed KEU's first and most successful online course that was our Introduction to Communities of Practice.
Now, a quarter of a century later, and after much research and advising of businesses, government agencies and NGOs about communities of practice, I am asking myself again: what is next for CoP? But first, this question.
What Is a CoP?
Last time I defined the term, it was this:
"Communities of practice are self-organizing and self-governing groups of people who share a passion for the common domain of what they do and strive to become better practitioners. They create value for their members and stakeholders through developing and spreading new knowledge, productive capabilities, and fostering innovation." Liberating the Innovation Value of Communities of Practice
That and similar definitions have been working well for traditional organizations, but not so well for those working for a transition to "next-stage" organizations. "Practicing becoming better psychologists or carpenters isn't what helps transform an organization or build a social movement to change a society," as Lia Aurami wrote in a recent article in EE Magazine. The second "or" in that quote separates two different kinds of communities of practice (CoP).
The "next-stage" label is getting popular among organization reinventors, and EE has contributed its share to make it so. But what is the next stage? Next, compared to what? Compared to the "greed is good" capitalism and its command-and-control management paradigm, the Green (HumanBond) version of CoP is certainly a next stage. The classic CoP with its focus on knowledge development and management for the sake of businesses fixated on profit doesn't meet the needs of the new stage of triple bottom line and "capitalism with a human face."
To match the genuine need of people for belonging to a community of authentic relationships, where they can show up with their wholeness, more and more CoPs are emphasizing that aspect of the next stage, which is a big step forward. Most of the articles of this cycle of EE are chronicling and celebrating that step.
A particularly touching example points beyond Green, to what can grow out from a communion of practitioners, as Tim Stanyon put it: "To see a young trainee nurse, as I did, grow from a quiet, fearful, reluctant participant into someone leading a passionate discussion with senior doctors and senior managers, in the space of a few days of meeting, is to see the blooming of a human spirit, a spirit now able to speak their truth full-throated into the world and to have the world be a better place because of them doing so. THAT is the Community of Practice we would all surely want to be a part of."
The gift of the Green altitude of consciousness is bringing the novelty of human-centered communities into history. Such communities can also serve as a catalyst of what might come after: the next "next-stage".
Imagine what could happen if the vertical development of consciousness of all members to their highest potential became a focus of the collective identity in a new kind of community of practice.
What Is Transformative Community of Practice?
A transformative community of practice (TCoP) is a group of transformative agents who share a passion for vertical development at all scales (from individual and team, to community, organization, and larger social systems) as their domain of practice. They interact regularly to learn together how to become better at vertical development.
Their practice includes the pursuit of a shared learning agenda and the development and spreading of new knowledge and capabilities related to the domain of vertical development of themselves and their organizations.
They cherish and cultivate the web of mutually supportive (and challenging) relationships that form the basis of their community.
Source: Etienne Wenger
Transformative Communities of Practice embody the same three dimensions (domain, community, practice) that a traditional CoP does, but at a new, higher turn of the spiral, due to vertical development being at their center.
Vertical development
The TCoP's place on a higher turn on the evolutionary spiral is generated by the community members' commitment to their and each other's vertical development.
source: THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, by STEVEN PHILLIPS
The primary characteristic of a TCoP is its focus on enabling vertical development.
You and I, as we grew from toddler to child to teenager and young adult, have inhabited gradually expanding worlds around and inside us. Not only that, but also, many of the precious toys, pastimes, and values, got replaced over time by things that we valued even more.
Did we lose the excitement, the adventure of discovering how reality is more than what we used to think it is? Some of us did, others didn't. If you're among those who are still hungry learners, explorers of ever-broader and more entangled segments of "what is," then chances are that you enjoy the journey without end and are co-evolving with your talent to absorb more complexity.
Those are natural gifts of growing up, in the sense of what many call "vertical learning" or evolving through the broadening of our worldview.
"To grow up means to up-level your consciousness. Your level of consciousness is the set of implicit organizing principles forming your worldview. These ascending levels or structures of consciousness have been mapped by extensive cross-cultural research by leading ego-developmental scientists over the past fifty years." — Wake Up, Grow Up and Show Up
Vertical or transformative learning doesn't happen in isolation; it's a collective endeavour that is facilitated best through participation in a TCoP.
"Transformative learning happens through an encounter with the other, creating a disorienting dilemma when the encounter does not fit into our existing meaning schemes. For these leaders, complexity is "the other;" and their need to engage in new ways, with new understanding, new language, and new actions presents a disorienting dilemma, as it is easier to rely on that which is known and comfortable. Organizations with their embedded power structures are not safe spaces for transformative learning." — Leaning into Complexity: Supporting Leaders Through Transformative Learning
In the second part of this column, I invite you to start exploring with me how Transformative Communities of Practice can become an evolutionary force, and what we can do about it.

The pandaren are an old and refined culture with many traditions and arts important to their way of life, none of which have influenced the pandaren so thoroughly as the art of brewing. Drink is in every aspect of pandaren life; and because of the craft involved, a tradition of brewing potent fluids has become a cultural institution for the gentle people of Pandaria. The pandaren brewmasters travel the world for new and exotic ingredients and recipes. These affable yet deadly warriors practice a unique combination of healing arts and martial skill. With their knowledge of alchemy, potion-making and brewery, the pandaren have created superb ales and liqours that have become a welcome drink at any adventuer's table either before or after a battle. The brews hold magical properties, as plants, berries and fungi yhat harbor powerful sprits are often included as ingredients in whiskeys, ales and other alcoholic beverages . Distilling these ingredients focuses potent magic.
Many have felt the chill of fear creep up when facing the minions of the Scourge. To watch ghouls and abominations rush across the fields of war to savage foes with hooked chains, claws and teeth can shake a warrior to his core. Chou the brewmaster despises the Scourge for the terror and ugliness they spread. He brews this strong drink to aid those who fight against the tides of undead that threaten the world. This drink is strong plum cider that grants the drinker the ability to detect undead.
The pandaren brewmaster Chou Ling Sing introduced the mangificent brew to the acrobats of Slink Strong's Goblin Circus as a gift for teaching him the tricks of goblin tumbling. Since then, many have copied the brew's recipe and it is enjoyed by amny a stealthy, acrobatically inclined performer. The tonic is potent, and a single swig from a bottle can make the drinker appear as if she were inebriated.
Combat is a state of grace amongst the shodo-pan of the pandaren empire; and as much as it is an art form, it is thirsty work. Hong's fighting lager revivifies fatigue and frightened soldiers and warrior after fighting a long and difficult battle. It is also highly valued for its crisp wheat taste and subtle honey and citron-like accents.
To the pandaren, whiskey is a drink of fortitude. A good whiskey can make a warrior strong enought to face 10.000, so the pandaren proverb goes. This brewmaster's whiskey han incredibly potent healing properties, and a wounded warrior can become as strong as a lion after drinking this powerful liquid.

ArmyCon: Where virtual and reality meet
FORT KNOX, Ky. — The U.S. Army is aiming to connect the gaming world to the military characters and equipment featured in many of today's most popular games during the first-ever ArmyCon at the Army Ten-Miler Expo Park and D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C., Oct. 11-12.
Two major commands sign memorandum of understanding
FORT KNOX, Ky. — The U.S. Army Recruiting Command and U.S. Army Cadet Command signed a memorandum of understanding here Friday.


I attended a conference in Ghana from 27th December 2015 to 2nd January 2016. It was a gathering of professionals and students from across West Africa. We traveled by road. From Nigeria, we passed through two other African countries (Benin Republic and Togo) before we arrived Ghana. Our journey started on the 27th December 2015, from Lagos. When we reached the first border, that is the border between Nigeria and Benin Republic, we encountered a problem that has to do with our traveling documents, specifically the so called "Yellow card" (a document that shows that someone has received vaccination against yellow fever). The immigration officer at the border told us that our cards were fake. Fake here means "out of date" as explained by the officer. But we did not know because the cards were issued to us from a Government Health Center.
The immigration officer told us that, for us to pass, each of us (we were 24 in my bus that had the "fake yellow cards") have to pay N2,500 Naira to have another card without vaccination. What does that mean? I asked. Is it the card that was fake? Or the vaccine we received? He told me that we were supposed to have gone to immigration service for the card. Why will a government health Center give us what is fake? And I paid N1000 Naira for that, others paid N1500 Naira. Then, at the border we were being asked to pay N2500 for an original one? Either the health Centre is corrupt or the immigration service at the border. Others pleaded with the man to help us because we are students. The man knew we were desperate to go. So he said we should pay N500 each, and he will write something on the yellow cards – the same cards he called fake – which will enable us pass through other borders freely. At that point I understood he wanted us to bribe him. If not, why wouldn't he write it without asking us to pay him something? And that is corruption.
As a member of ELP (Emerging Leaders Project), a programme of CSAAEINC (Centre for Social Awareness, Advocacy and Ethics, Inc.), through our conferences and trainings we are groomed not be involved in corruption but to fight it. I also learnt from a book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective people" which was recommended to us by ELP Mentors, that you can choose your response to any stimulus. I may not control other peoples' reaction to me, but I can control my response and actions toward other people. If we did not pay, we could have been asked to go back. I did not pay, others paid and we were allowed to pass. The same thing happened to other buses going to Ghana. Though we crossed the border, we were not happy. All knew that it was corruption but we kept saying it without doing anything to stop it.
So, I used that opportunity to speak to them about CSAAEINC and what it stands for, and how we can all work together to stop such occurrences in the future. If nothing is done about this, it will keep occurring. More people will come with the fake yellow cards because they will not know until they reach the border. And because they will not want to go back they will have to pay bribes to cross over. I suggest that the government should look into this. Let all health Centres be given the original yellow cards.

The Future of Urban Salmon is Looking Up
Fernando Lessa
https://www.fieldmag.com/articles/vancouver-urban-salmon-conservation-book
One biologist's two-year effort to document the return of salmon in the Metro Vancouver watershed is proving fruitful

Limited-edition internet from friends new and old. Want to contribute? Drop us a line via the About page.
Louis Otis is a freelance proposal writer and photographer with a healthy interest in the outdoors. Follow Louis on Instagram for more nature and mountaineering imagery.
The sun sets as I walk into Fernando Lessa's yard. I notice his wetsuit drying on a hook screwed to a wooden arch that also holds a climbing hangboard. Despite the humid Pacific Northwest cold, he went diving again this morning.
As we catch up over a beer, Fernando shows me his loot of the day. He scored photos of aquatic plants, three creeks, and of course, salmon. There's pink and chum salmon, and cutthroat trout of all sizes.
Fernando dives almost daily in the Metro Vancouver watershed. He does it for fun, but also for Urban Salmon, his two-year project that documents the state of the fish in British Columbia's largest city. His project's photography book is now available for pre-order, and in a few days he will donate his archives to local salmon foundations and streamkeepers associations.
"In only a few hours, they pulled out 85kg of trash ranging from fishing gear to metal debris."
Salmon used to thrive in Vancouver, but decades of pollution and urban development destructive to the local watershed left their future in the area in jeopardy. The water quality was bad and the access to the network of streams and rivers that allowed salmon to return to their spawning grounds was complicated, if at all even possible.
However, through the hard work of volunteers and environmentalists, as well as the legendary resilience of the fish, their outlook is changing. Urban Salmon's two-year immersion in the world of the local salmonids offers hope—the salmon are making a return and are starting to thrive again.
"Polar bears and pandas have always generated more money than fish."
While the future looks brighter, there is still work to be done. During a session of underwater photography in a natural pool in the fall, Fernando came across some rusted metal parts. He looked around a bit and noticed the place was littered with garbage. He contacted the local streamkeepers, and less than a week later, a group of volunteers joined forces to clean the pools. In only a few hours, they pulled out 85kg of trash ranging from fishing gear to metal debris.
Polar bears and pandas have always generated more money than fish. Some financing is available to streamkeepers and protection organizations, but most of the work to protect salmon is done on a volunteer basis. Urban Salmon is no different. While it did attract some sponsorship and support from salmon protection foundations, and even Patagonia Vancouver, this selfless effort remains a project from the heart.
Keeping the watershed clean and safe is good for the environment, but also for divers and fishermen who want to get wet close to Vancouver. They can choose from numerous pools, rivers, and streams to enjoy aquatic life in the area. And if everyone pitches in to keep the ecosystem clean, the salmon will continue to return every year to make their run to the very river where they were born, allowing everyone to marvel at this incredible phenomenon of nature.
*Urban Salmon is now available for pre-order.
The 64-page book is the culmination of two-year's effort by diver, photographer, and biologist Fernando Lessa, and his first solo project in North America. Prior to his work in Vancouver, Lessa participated in various underwater research initiatives related to rivers and fish in Brazil.

No. I don't think the facility is the best way for Moscow children to enjoy these recourses. It seems like it will not be utilized much by the children. More time could be spent on money spending decisions to allow more options and to get the real heartbeat of the local kids and parents desires.
Yes. Conserns would be as follows: What is your environmental impact? Is you company moral and ethical? Will your company employ locally? Will your company spend locally? Who will traffic be affected. Is the new company replacing an established business? I would encourage large business to locate in Moscow. With a few 100 plus companies there would be a stabilizing effect to local small business.
No. The entire project is shut down until a four year environmental impact study is completed. The farthest I would like to see the Highway move would be to Mountain View Road.

Fashion guru Simon Doonan's 'beautiful' Irish life
Cahir O'Doherty talks to Simon Doonan, best-selling author and producer of "Absolutely Fabulous," about his desi...
From the producer of the critically acclaimed comedy "Absolutely Fabulous" comes "Beautiful People," a six-episode series by Barneys famous style guru Simon Doonan about how to become fabulous via ambition, youthful optimism and a loving, yet very dysfunctional family.
Growing up the son of two Irish parents in Reading, England in an era when most of his male classmates were ogling stars like Bridgette Bardot and Jane Fonda, Doonan and his best friend Biddie Biddlecomb were busy trying to become them.
Not that they ever actually wanted to be women -- far from it. They just had too much fashion sense to be confined to one gender. It was something he had learned from his mother.
"My mother believed in the transformative power of platform shoes, and I do too," Doonan, 56, told the Irish Voice during a recent interview. "She understood how you could transform yourself with a couple of shoulder pads, and that was her thing. She always felt that she was very average looking but she always made herself glamorous and interesting."
In "Beautiful People," the new TV series on Logo and LOGOonline.com, inspired by Doonan's memoir "Nasty: My Family and Other Glamorous Varmints," Doonan takes us back to his unconventional childhood as the creative son of Irish parents growing up in England, and all the steps he took along the way that ultimately led to his job setting trends at the uber-glamourous Barneys New York fashion emporium.
Nowadays we've seen hundreds of TV series about young men with a special talent that lead them from very humble beginnings to a world beyond their wildest dreams, but to date not many of these stories have featured a lad who knows his way around a pair of Manolo Blahniks like Carrie Bradshaw. Until now, that is.
The show is set in 1997 to give it a more up to date feel than its original 1960s settings. In the first episode we meet the 13-year-old Simon, surrounded by dreams of hitting the big time and all the beautiful people that go with it. This is a young man who can't open a fridge door without belting out a show tune, so clearly the path ahead will be a little unusual.
But even a budding peacock like Simon finds himself constantly upstaged by a family that's even more eccentric than his latest attempts to be fabulous. Mom Debbie is a peroxide whirlwind of matriarchal warmth, husband Andy is a plumber who secretly listens to grand opera, and Simon's older sister Ashlene is a wannabe hip hop queen who has shifted every boy in the neighborhood, and blind lodger Aunty Hayley has turned up and it looks like she will never leave.
Add to that an amazing performance by Oscar winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker as the lobotomized grandmother Narg, who has lost God and replaced him with a foul mouth and psychotic episodes.
Perhaps the biggest surprise about the new series, considering its unusual subject matter, is its surprising sweetness.
"I'm very happy about that tone because I think it makes it more universal," says Doonan. "It's a great mixture of wickedly funny and sweet, which I think the Brits are good at if you think of "Are You Being Served" or "Fawlty Towers," all the great British sitcoms.
"There's real warmth to it. And it's a perfect blueprint for a dysfunctional family, about how to be happy and dysfunctional. I think that that's why people respond to it."
As a family sitcom, there's certainly a lot of weird tangents to the show, and the diversity of characters often mix it with explosive results.
"I mean, who really has a normal family?' asks Doonan. "My mum was so absolutely Belfast. That's what I should call my next comedy show – "Absolutely Belfast." Everyone could talk in those northern accents that you can't ever forget.
"I remember walking though Belfast with my mother, and her old friends would see her and say, 'Ach, hello Batty, how are yeoo-uh?' It had a hundred syllables in it."
Watching the new show, with its updated setting, has resulted in a strange sense of déjà vu for Doonan.
"I watch it with two minds," he says. "On the one hand I see constant references to my real history and things taken directly out of my book, and then on the other hand I see a re-imagined version of my childhood and the two things go back and forward."
One thing that startled him with its accuracy was the work of Fricker. "She brought my grandmother completely back to life, which was scary," says Doonan.
"She resurrected her actually. For a child she was often a very scary person to be around, and Brenda brought that all to the show and actually even looked a bit like her."
In "Beautiful People" the friendship between Simon and Kyle (known to everyone on the show as Kylie) is one of the charms of the show. Together they save each other from the harsh lives they would have led on their own.
"I think that any kid who's a bit marginalized for whatever reason, they might not fit in, to have a best friend who's in the same boat -- that can even be the difference between life and death," he says.
"If you were Jewish or gay or whatever it was that marginalized you, if you have a best friend in that same boat it means so much. They capture that in the show."
Belfast woman Betty Doonan, Simon's real life mother, was no one's fool, and he can see flashes of that in the new show.
"Although my mother never had fights on the street in the way the women in this show do, thankfully, if it had happened she would definitely have won. She would have beaten the crap out of any English housewife," says Doonan.
"She was a tough broad from Belfast. She was a survivor; she had once gone to work for a pork butcher butchering pigs. In the war she worked as an electrician in the Royal Air Force. She bootstrapped it all the way.
"She was a self-invented tough person. No one messed with her because they would have had their lights punched out. I was scared of her myself. I wouldn't have messed with her either."
Doonan, who has designed windows at Barneys that have featured Queen Elizabeth II sitting on a fire extinguisher surrounded by Corgi droppings, has affection for his Irish ancestry but also for his upbringing in Reading.
"I have a lot of affection for the Queens but I have always thought it was fun to debunk the royals. I've done it many times," he says.
"We had a window with Prince Charles taking a bath with his crown still on. It's affection; I'm not about to put a guillotine up in Buckingham Palace. I grew up reading "Private Eye" satirical magazine where they always called her Brenda. I was always exposed to that satirical side of me I can't control."
Like the show, there's something of a fairytale aspect to Doonan's rise and rise as the bestselling fashion king of Barneys, and he knows it.
"I'm an immigrant who came here at 25 with two suitcases and a dream. I'm the walking American Dream. I have a great job that I enjoy and make good money at so in a way I am that dream," he says.
"Beautiful People" is now showing on Logo and LOGOonline.com on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m.

Research on vegetables focuses on quality and hygiene. Through research on the quality of vegetables, it is possible to find ways to maximize shelf life and thus reduce waste.
It is possible to increase vegetable production significantly in Iceland and it is a key factor to preserve quality in the entire value chain from producers to consumers. In comparison with imported vegetables, an attempt is made to point out the strengths of Icelandic vegetables, but at the same time to find opportunities for innovation and increased production. Efforts are being made to cover vegetable production throughout the country. Measurements have been made of nutrients in Icelandic vegetables and antioxidants have been measured for the first time.
Projects on Icelandic barley have been carried out in recent years and the emphasis has been on increasing the value of domestic production by using part of it for food production. Increased sustainability is also a key factor when domestic barley is used instead of imported. Efforts are being made to utilize Icelandic barley for the production of alcoholic beverages and for product development in the baking industry. Many summaries on the utilization of barley have been made available in the form of leaflets, reports and academic articles. In recent years, interest in goat farming in Iceland has increased and Matís has responded to this development with quality research and product development.

Growing up in Germany, my father was stationed there as head of Defense Intelligence for Europe, and we necessarily tagged along. It was much fun! Living off base and on, we had the good fortune of some rather unique housing reminiscent of something from a James Bond novel replete with hidden passageways, underground tunnels, a blown up maids quarters in the back yard, and a bank vault for Hitler's cache.
Travelling throughout Europe, sometimes by private train, sometimes by car, we became enchanted with old world Italy, Holland, Austria, Luxembourg and of course, Germany.
Stationed back to the States, none of us really wanted to leave, but we, necessarily, tagged along. The Pentagon was my father's destination, Virginia was ours and I found myself in somewhat of a culture shock.
At the tender age of sixteen my mother thought Putney Work Farm might quell my rebel side. Fortunately, my father intervened and instead sent me to a finishing school in Paris where I took classes in dance, music, cooking and art. Dance immediately charmed my heart and became my passion. Returning home I quickly rose in the ranks and joined a small company in DC wherein we performed in the tai-state region and I taught classes.
By 21, if I was going to pursue dance fully, New York was the only option. I declined. So my father sent me to college where I graduated with a degree in Finance and Accounting. Lured to Colorado's Penny Stock Market boom, I obtained my Series 7 license and became a broker. I was one of three women in the company.
The market crashed and I shifted to working as controller for a local land developer with projects in Denver as well as various mountain resort areas. Still – I danced. The real estate market crashed and in the midst I acquired by trade, a daycare center, which would become my source of income for the next fifteen years.
My boss and I married, left Colorado, and moved to San Francisco where I bought a 40' sailboat. Taking a sabbatical, we sailed throughout the Bay, the Delta, and down to Santa Barbara, LA, San Diego and throughout the Channel Islands. Many stories; some perilous, some romantic, some comedic. Still – I danced.
Selling the boat after 2 years we built a home in El Granada. Fog horns. Sandy Beaches. Eucalyptus trees. It was divine! It was there I bore No. 1 Son.
The market began to waver and so we felt inclined to return to Colorado. Packing our bags and son, we left.
We built a home I designed in the foothills, I bore two more sons and fortunately the daycare still thrived. Alas dance – she left.
Supporting three young children, the daycare managed to thrive until my third son reached first grade – a blessing! And then collapsed. I found jobs in the land development arena again as Comptroller and raised my boys.
Fourteen years passed and I met my husband, a Christian and a Financial Planner. Enamored, I followed his ways. Working in his office as Finance Director I created unique wealth plans as well as a weekly economic commentary and a monthly newsletter.
One very memorable day, upon leaving the church service where we attended I met a sculptor in the narthex and was intrigued. I told him I wanted to learn how to sculpt in bronze having no experience whatsoever. He laughed and dismissively told me to go to school. Pressing, I told him I wanted him to teach me. Ultimately, he acquiesced whereupon I took solo classes three days a week, 4 hours a day for one year. At the end of the year he told me I was – ready.
I had once again found a gift, a passion.
Immersed, I sculpted. I created. Prolific and dedicated, my talent shined!
Alas, the art world had just begun to crumble – and today has yet to truly recover. It is as though art no longer possesses value. An odd apparition.
Within those years I began to ravishly read politics. My sons gave me insights. And intrigued, I created a blog. The blog gained momentum, Truth being the quest, fakery – an obsession.
And while my bronze have faded, I create, I write, and the world – shifts on its axis once again.
My Christian husband – well, he apparently was a fraud and alas parlayed a multitude of betrayals before disappearing.
And yet, grounded in life, faith, children, and my passions, I survived, thrived, and emerged a butterfly!
And a new chapter is beginning that interestingly takes me full circle to the roots of my upbringing as I dance with a former Green Beret… we shall see!
Just discovered your blog yesterday and got sucked in for hours… loved it. Thank you!
I was searching for a publication that had broken down the photo-shopping of Khashoggi & purported fiancee Hadice. Did not find what I was looking for, but came across your blog, with it's elegant format and intriguing copy.
I came across your blog whilst researching the immigration crisis in Germany. I read the article that mentioned–among other things–the axe wielding person in Dusseldorf. Unfortunately, you mentioned incidents without providing a link to substantiate their occurences. That is not such a big deal, however, as I can probably find a source by searching a corresponding descriptive term. Your article provides several new perspectives to the immigration/integration situation in Germany, thank you for that.
Thank you Michael. Bloggers rarely include citations with their blogs, it is not a university research paper, it is a blog. That being said, I maintain links to all my sources when writing each and every blog and save those within my private computer. I try to be very thorough and very careful in that regard.
I hope that I didn't offend you with my comment. i do not doubt your dilligence.
not at all ~ thank you for your regards!
Puisque vous avez vécu en France, vous devez maîtriser la langue de Molière.
Le hasard m'a amené vers votre blog et celui-ci m'a enchanté.
Je suis Parisien – né dans l'Isle de la Cité, près de Notre-Dame, je travaille et je vis dans celle qui fût la Lumière du monde – et aujourd'hui la situation politique de mon pays m'attriste énormément.
Quinquagénaire, j'envisage sérieusement de finir ma vie aux USA, seul refuge désormais pour l'Esprit de L'Occident et ses racines grecques, romaines et chrétiennes.
Oui, j'aime bien la comédie, soulève mon esprit! Je vais étudier.
Paris est en effet assiégé, je suis tellement désolé, mais en Dieu il y a toujours de la force et une lumière à la fin, mais le voyage est difficile.Chaque pays est maintenant soumis aux conflits civils, y compris aux États-Unis, mais il y a un refuge et ce refuge est l'HOPE indéniable.
Sans espoir, il n'y a pas de paix.
Very interesting writing. I came across your blog whilst reading an NPR story about why Africans drown. (I learned that it was because they are stupid.) Searching for the African Development Bank and adding Soros to the search led me to you. Keep up the good work and thanks for the TRUTH.
Came across your blog via Ina Vukic. Your bio sounds very interesting and hardly "privileged". But I guess certain people get to make that call by the divine providence of their demigod George Soros. 🙂 Looking forward to reading more of your stuff!
You write with no guile. It is rare to find a person with nothing to hide online. I am proud of you without even knowing you. The ability to communicate without fear shines through. It is Franklin-esque. Millions sensed that in his work. It is also in yours.
You are an astoundingly bigoted, ill-informed, privileged rich white woman who has no sense of what it's like to be in the world outside your boat in Sausalito or your cosseted world in Colorado. Imagine what it feels like NOT to be white, blond and rich, why don't you try? If you are truly an evangelical, perhaps you should consider what it means to have real compassion and kindness towards those who haven't led your charmed life. Why people like you think you get to support Donald Trump without actually lifting a finger to make this country better is beyond me. Keep making your bronze sculpture. I'm sure it's lovely. and I'm sure you're a better artist than political analyst. Which is not to much.
Beth Cooper – given your picture is empty, I would gather you are a troll. However, I will respond anyway.
You are making defamatory statements based on a short fun bio that provides a snapshot into me without having the decency, respect or integrity to actually have a clue who I am or what I do outside of blogging and art. A short-sighted perspective is really no perspective at all and simply ingratiates yourself as a bitter, hate filled racist. I'm sure I have lifted more fingers than you can count… Unfortunately, you are simply revealing the same insanity that plagues the Liberal agenda and exposes a sad,sad hypocrisy. What have you done? Please share.
Oh My Gosh! MS. Beth Cooper, your url is registered with the George Soros Open Society Institute.
Now I get it – you are too funny!
That's interesting! Were they interested in her art or political commentary? If the latter, they're VERY special denizens of Hollywood.
You have an amazing story here; and an amazing life too. Thanks for being there to share your life. It edifies.
Nice story Helena. I lived in West Germany when my father served in the Air Force.
Interesting variety of topics you cover. I'm in an honors marketing program in my college. Perhaps you will find it interesting.

From 2019 students interested in studying Medicine, Dentistry and some other Clinical Science courses at a member university of the UMAT Consortium will sit the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) as part of their admissions process.
The UCAT is a well-established and internationally respected test used widely in the UK since 2006 (under the name UKCAT) to select students to medicine and dentistry courses at the majority of UK universities.
The new test, which will replace the UMAT (Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences Admission Test), offers many benefits to students and to the universities adopting the test:
The UCAT is a 2-hour long computer based test.
Candidates receive their score immediately after the test without waiting for a lengthy marking period.
Within a specified test window, candidates can now choose the date and time they sit the test.
Candidates have access to a wide network of test centres across Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
The test is similar to the UMAT but with new question formats and the addition of a test of Situational Judgment (SJT) which measures attitudes and behaviours identified as desirable for successful healthcare professionals.
Research shows that the test is a reliable and valid predictor of performance at Medical School.
Consortium member universities in Australia and New Zealand also benefit from the flexibility of the testing process and the inclusion of additional constructs relevant to their admissions processes.
"We are excited to be taking this next step which will see us moving to an internationally renowned aptitude test giving our member universities greater flexibility and ensuring we continue to promote best practice in admissions," said Professor Wayne Hodgson, Chair of the UMAT Consortium and Deputy Dean (Education), Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University.
"We look forward to working collaboratively with our counterparts at UK universities in the future development and use of the test."
"I am delighted to see the establishment of the UCAT arising out of the collaboration between universities based in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. We are confident of providing a high quality testing experience for candidates and further developing our test according to the outcomes of the most robust research." said Professor Sandra Nicholson, Head of the UKCAT Research Group.
Pearson VUE, an international leader in computer based testing, with a long established and successful track record of delivering and developing high stakes admissions tests will deliver the test.
In partnership with the UKCAT, Pearson VUE has provided a secure on-line test for more than 12 years, delivering over 280,000 tests to candidates in their approved test centres across 140 different countries. The UMAT Consortium anticipates a successful partnership with Pearson VUE in delivering the UCAT in Australia and New Zealand.
The UMAT Consortium has been established for almost 20 years and includes 11 universities in Australia and New Zealand which all use the UMAT (to be renamed UCAT in 2019) as an entry requirement for students wishing to study Medicine or Dentistry at their university. The UMAT test score is considered alongside other entry requirements such as academic grades and interview scores.

Tom Welling is officially a dad!
The Smallville actor and fiancée Jessica Rose Lee have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. Lee gave birth to their son, Thomson Wylde Welling, just after midnight on Jan. 5. Lee confirmed their baby's arrival by sharing the first picture of their son on social media Monday.
"Thomson Wylde Welling January 5, 2019 12:31am 8lbs 8oz of pure LOVE," she captioned the post.
Lee hinted that her son's arrival was imminent in a post to her Instagram followers on Jan. 3.
"t's all happening," she wrote alongside a photo of herself cradling her baby bump.
Lee first confirmed her pregnancy in September, sharing a photo on social media of her and Welling cradling her stomach.
"New life in the new year," she captioned the sweet post.
It was almost a year ago that the couple announced their engagement.
"To my perfect fiancé- I love you to infinity and beyond," Lee wrote to Welling in Feb. 2018. "Thank you for all of your unwavering support and super-human love. I am so blessed to have you in my life."


"If a customer is willing to pay for it, I will do it," I said 10 years ago in response to a friend who asked what I do for a living .
In hindsight, this was idiotic, and my business and life suffered the consequences.
In a world where I was saying "yes" to everything, clients controlled my life (where, when, who).
Pulling all-nighters and working 130 hours a week was a badge of honor.
I once took a client phone call from the line queue in Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
I was pissed at the client for having the nerve to call me while I was in line at Disneyland. They were pissed that neither they nor I could hear a damn thing.
A handful of years back, after a year of personal & couples therapy, I converted The Mighty Mo! to a cause-based business.
Specifically: I need to be present at home with my wife and kids. No replying to emails, taking business calls, etc. while at home. None. Zero. Zilch!
When I got intentional about my work, my "clients" became "customers".
Target has "open" hours. So do Everett's Foods, Toyota dealerships, Botany Coffee, and just about ever single other business in the world.
Why not mine? Because I had "clients".
Most doctors and dentists and creative agencies and (for some reason) WordPress Developers are available night and day to service their "clients".
Because we sell a high-touch service. Well no longer!
To be present at home, sell a products, not services.
I'm available to my current customers for only a small fraction of the business week (about 3 hours per week in total, to be exact).
The rest of my workweek is invested managing my employee, developing our products, and finding new customers to buy said products.
I work 16-20 hours per week, because I have a cause.
I am comfortable not closing that deal if it means I won't be present at home with my kids tonight.
In fact, just yesterday, I blew off a sales call, because I was at the park with my kids.
Process fail? Sure! I shouldn't have scheduled the call for that time, and hopefully it won't happen again.
I was able to be present with my children.
What's the point of living if you are on someone else's schedule? Networking within someone else's social network? Doing work that has no purpose for you?
Here in the U.S. we are the lucky few who have options.
If you don't take advantage of those generous resources to do the work of your dreams…well…let's just say you are missing an opportunity that most citizens of our planet would risk almost-certain death crossing deserts by foot to attain.
If your Cause is helping other people, then so be it! Get intentional!
You've gotta find your cause and go get it!
The first and only required step to tidying up your life and business is to get clear about why you work.
I transformed my biz from headache to money-making machine simply by getting honest & clear about why I work.
But what about my customers? Won't they revolt, leave me broke on the street, and all my hard work will go up in smoke?!
Ya know what? My products became even more valuable to buyers once I got clear about what I needed from them!
What, Exactly, Is a "Cause"? Do You Mean, Like, a Non-Profit?
Non-profits are great. But you are a for-profit machine.
Non-profits only exist if the business profits (i.e. tax-deductible donations) sustain them.
If you want to donate your profits of time & treasure to non-profits, I'm all for it! But first you've gotta have the profits!
For example, popular, cause-driven for-profit media companies like Lavender Magazine and Big Gay News have done tons to further the cause of Gay Rights. And when a company like Target gets on the bandwagon, it does enormous good for this historically-demonized community.
…And I don't mean fluffy, marketing, branding stuff.
I mean why the hell do you wake up at all?
"Why?" is the most-difficult business question I've ever had to answer.
But don't worry – if you stay curious, you'll get there, you'll business will become amazing, your life will become better, you'll feel more whole and connected to the world around you.
Starting can be hard, so let's begin by taking these simple action steps.
Some "gurus" sell these simple action steps below for thousands of dollars.
What they never tell you is that all the stuff they sell is freely-available if you just get curious about yourself, your predicament, and how to get out of it.
Filter Everything Through Your "Why?".
Getting together with a friend tonight?
Pondering taking on that project?
Elections have consequences and so does every project we freelancers say, "Yes" to.
You are more productive when you say, "No", so try it.
You won't get everything right. Nobody does.
But if you get curious and clear about why you are doing things, you'll be better off, and so will your business.

The Craft Environmental and cultural preservation
Master spinners, loomers, and tailors, are in charge of creating IOAN undyed, organic cotton every day garments. The IOAN team of partners in India are in most cases 3rd generation makers in each field, where the knowledge of making fabrics and finished goods is deep rooted in family life. New generations along every level of production are staking their futures upon more impactful, ecologically responsible methods.
The Land Home to the world's finest organic cotton
The Indian subcontinent extends from the Himalayas in the North to the coastal plains of the South. Scientists believe that cotton was first cultivated in the Indus Delta, circa 6,000 B.C. India's landscapes are highly conducive for cotton-growing, however only less than 1% of cotton grown is pesticide free and non GMO. This stark contrast has sparked all the more reason for the evolution of the Clean Clothes project, dedicated to the production of quality garments in a sustainable way.
Farming cotton requires significant amounts of water. Toxic runoff from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides have catastrophically polluted water systems in India for decades. Organic cotton crops retain water more efficiently due to organic matter in the soil and most importantly filter and cycle precious resources. This is extremely important for certain regions of India, where there is a severe scarcity of water.
The Process Less process, better for all
Why bleach or dye a fiber which is originally beautiful? Why spend resources and release wasteful, toxic discharges to change the characteristics of a natural product? IOAN undyed products are made from top quality local organic cotton, loomed in its original state, cut and sewn into garments, and washed in an enzyme water mixed to stabilize its proportions ( pre-shrunk) and to achieve the desired softness.
The People From the land to the finished product
Organic cotton farmers reject the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and the use of GMO seeds. They are a deeply entrenched cultural cornerstone in the history of India. This vast community of growers on the Indian Peninsula produce a majority of the global organic cotton supply. Women and men work alongside in a diverse series of settings, from the organic cotton fields in central India, to yarn spinning, fabric looming and clothes making in urban environments... Together creating a network of like minded people where each unit or team brings the elements needed to achieve the most perfect organic cotton garment.
All within a perfect environment, working to bring production back to the original makers.
The Craft 100% natural pigments &/or mordants to dye fibers and garments
The craft of naturally dyed textile production and pesticide-free cotton cultivation goes back thousands of years, with strong roots in the Indian subcontinent. The origins of vegetable dyeing in India can be traced to the Indus Valley around the 4th millenium B.C. Thousands of years later, the synthesis of petroleum-based dyes proliferated in the 1870's, bringing an end to widespread use of natural processes.
Shortsightedly convenient and inexpensive GMO & pesticide heavy cotton, petroleum-based dyes, and exploited garment manufacturing labor, has largely replaced the sustainable craft of milled organic cotton, colored with natural dyes, cut and sewn into finished garments with integrity. This shift has spoiled the natural world for more than a century, causing drastic consequences to garment workers and our environment.
Through the Clean Clothes project, we aim to create dialogue and research for two primary goals: 1) to respect and advocate for the usage of pesticide-free, non-GMO organic cotton; and 2) if dyeing is necessary, to use only 100% natural dyes. By issuing constraints on dyeing and washing processes, not only can we assure Clean Clothes on our skin, but cleaner rivers, oceans, soil, and air for everyone.
The Process Going back to nature
Wearing vibrant colors should not come at the cost of contaminating our natural resources. This project not only eliminates petrochemical dyes, but also genetically modified and corporation-patented seeds in the cotton farming process. 100% natural dyes, water and a biodegradable enzyme wash are used for the dyeing and finishing of IOAN organic cotton products. Some of our natural dye forays include:
Acacia arabica: tree bark-rust/brown tones
Terminalia chebula: seeds-yellow tones
Rubia cordifolia: twigs-red tones
Iron vinegar: iron scraps + palm sugar for black & grey tones
Shellac sticklac: insect resin-pink & burgundy tones
Indigofera tinctoria: indigo leaves-blue tones. Specialized in the art of natural indigo, our dyemasters cultivate regenerative vats. The indigo solution maintained in fermentation can extend its life to decades, keeping the natural indigo richness intact, eliminating waste water and mordants during the dyeing process. Indian natural dyers use myrobalan, tannins, and wood ash as mordants for all other colors.
The People Those who understand the benefits of cultivating organic cotton & natural dyes
An early visit to a small team with specialized knowledge of natural fermented indigo dyeing has evolved into the IOAN Clean Clothes Project - the pursuit of a clean and fair production loop, with people at its core. At the dye house each day, the team ritualistically takes the time to remove their shoes before entering the workplace and regularly sit down for a mid-day tea between duties.
IOAN Clean Clothes are sourced exclusively from farmers and mills who understand the economic, social, and environmental benefits of cultivating organic cotton, natural dye houses with thousands of years worth of knowledge, and pattern cutters and seamstresses who take pride in their work. For the women and men we work with, it's simply honest work - a way to produce quality goods without negatively impacting themselves or their local ecosystems.
The local team continues to expand their knowledge and operations, with the goal of passing on these sustainable cultural practices to future generations. Throughout the years, the IOAN network of dye houses has grown to four members, as demand for their work sustainably grows.


Tuesday-Saturday, 10.00-17.00, Sunday, 11.00-17.00. Closed on Mondays.
Established in 1739 by philanthropist Thomas Coram, and continuing today as the children's charity Coram, the Hospital was set up as an institution 'for the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children'. Instrumental in helping Coram realise his vision were the artist William Hogarth, who encouraged leading artists of the day to donate work, and the composer George Frideric Handel, who gave annual benefit concerts of his Messiah. Through a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events, we celebrate their vision and the ways in which artists and children have inspired each other for over 275 years.

Why absolutists have trouble with reality
In this case, it's Rand Paul and and his "Personhood At Conception Act".
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Friday introduced so-called "fetal personhood" legislation that would completely outlaw abortion in the United States.
The Life at Conception Act would declare that human life began at conception, providing fertilized eggs with the same legal status as born persons.
"The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known – that human life begins at the moment of conception, and therefore is entitled to legal protection from that point forward," Paul said in a statement. " The right to life is guaranteed to all Americans in the Declaration of Independence and ensuring this is upheld is the Constitutional duty of all Members of Congress."
In a fundraising video for the National Pro-Life Alliance last year, the Republican senator explained that the bill would outlaw abortion without contradicting the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Citing the ruling, Paul claimed Congress had the power to define when human life began under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
"The Court then admitted that if the personhood of an unborn baby is established, the right to abort 'collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14] Amendment,'" he said.
Pro-life activists have pushed to amend the constitutions of several states with "fetal personhood" language, but have so far been rejected by voters.
Have you seen little sperms? They're alive. They wiggle and swim and either get to the egg or they die. You can't die unless you are alive.
As are the little eggs. They're not dead. At least not until they die.
So what's this fine demarcation between life and death? An overwhelming majority of fertilized eggs are naturally aborted, most before a woman even knows she's pregnant. That would be about 75%. That would make God the Great Abortionist In The Sky.
It's particularly Senator Paul wants to grant personhood to every fertilized egg. First, that's not when life starts. Second, most fertilized eggs die naturally before anyone knows of the pregnancy. And a fertilized egg is a part of the pregnant woman, not a separate person.
I realize these arguments have zero affect on the right-wing religious zealots, despite no specific Biblical definition. And it's particularly embarrassing that someone who claims to a libertarian, who is supposed to support keeping government out of its citizens' lives, would support such an incredibly intrusive and stupid policy. At best, it's a political ploy.
However, this is a great way for Republicans to alienate even more women. Perhaps at some point they'll get the message. But then if Republicans didn't have these ridiculous things to distract the hoi polloi from the continuous plundering the Republicans wage on the bottom ninety-nine percent then they'd lose everyone.

Halls Showcase Jewellers have been operating in Seymour since 1966.
Now in the business's 52nd year, David and Alison Hall have brought the shop into the modern era while maintaining the legacy built by their parents.
''It was still a jewellery shop back then but in those days jewellery stores were more like gift shops,'' Ms Hall said.
Today, the store is filled with jewellery although they still do stock glassware, clocks, dinnerware and leather goods — items less likely to be found around town.
Mr Hall, like his father, is a watchmaker by trade.
''It's a bad term actually, we mostly repair watches as a rule,'' Mr Hall said.
Halls also offer remodelling, repairs, engraving, watch battery replacement and repairs, pearl rethreading as well as the fitting and designing of wedding rings.
''If people want to update or repair a ring we can remove and refit any precious stones to remake it in the same way or in a more modern style,'' Mr Hall said.
Halls are also diamond specialists.
''We probably have the best range of diamonds in the north-east region,'' Ms Hall said.
■Halls Showcase Jewellers is open Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 5.30pm and from 9.30am until noon on Saturdays.
The Victorian Nationals have called on Federal Labor Leader Bill Shorten to guarantee he will upgrade the north-east line if elected to government this year.

Reading Architecture
Landscape drawing of the University of Sussex campus
One of the University of Sussex's architectural highlights is the preservation of the landscape on site. Designed in cooperation with landscape architect Dame Sylvia Crowe, Sir Basil Spence's initial idea for the Falmer site was focussed on keeping the green fields as intact as possible and incorporating them as part of the beauty of the campus.
Model of the University of Sussex campus
The University of Sussex campus is one of the leading examples of the New Universities movement that came at the end of World War II. This 1:2000 scale model represents the major buildings as well as the topography and landscape of the Falmer site, snuggled in-between green hills and forest, a campus where social interaction and ease of access is prioritised.

Solar Diagrams of the Meeting House - Winter.
The Meeting House, as designed by Sir Basil Spence, is a modern religious space, stripped of the traditional shapes and forms and envisioned as a circular community space for everyone on campus. These diagrams show how during all seasons the sunlight piercing through the colour-stained windows on the walls and on the roof is focussed on the altar stage, where the centre of any event will be.
Experiencing Architecture
As part of an Experiencing Architecture module, the short film showcases my amazement with the beauty and mystery of the Möbius Strip, a seemingly impossible two-dimensional strip in a three-dimensional space. Living with one in my room for several weeks taught me a lot about how the space around me changes the way I experience life. Now I approach the architecture around me seeking this unique experience that every structure has on our lives.
