Історія
Регіон Яси було відкрито світові в якості привабливого для бізнесу 24.06.1926 р., коли вперше було виконано рейс на маршруті Бухарест ― Ґалац ― Яси ― Кишинів.

У 1966 р. було збудовано бетонну ЗПС з курсами 15/33 загальною довжиною , обладнаною сучасною на той час світловою системою. Три роки по тому було збудовано пасажирський термінал. У 2001 р. останній було реконструйовано для розмежування міжнародного та внутрішнього пасажиропотоків.

У червні 2012 р. було збудовано додатковий пасажирський термінал Terminal T2, що збільшило пропускну спроможність порту до 215 пас/год. Т2 було сконструйовано для обслуговування рейсів в зоні Шенген та внутрішніх. Старий термінал було названо Т1.

У 2013 р. Яський міжнародний аеропорт ініціював довготермінову багаторівневу програму реконструкції. Модуль I програми (орієнтовно €57 інвестицій) було завершено в листопаді 2015 р., будівництво нової ЗПС, терміналу та розширення перону.

В жовтні 2015 р. було урочисто відкрито третій термінал (T3) з потенціалом 320 пас/год.

В листопаді 2017 р., летовищем скористався мільйонний пасажир.

We use the clearest mountain water to start the brewing process. Starting as snow in the high alps above Hakuba Village it then melted and trickled through the forests and stone, down to our water source. It then begins another transformation. The freshest and most fragrant hops and grains from around the world bring the smells and tastes that we need. We slow-ferment until each brew is just right and then bottle and cap by hand. Our bottle-conditioned beers are not filtered and so all the flavour and aromas are trapped by that metal cap. A little yeast then continues to refine the beer, whilst also naturally carbonating for the perfect light fizz and head.

Russian academics Ekaterina Koldunova and Dr Victor Sumsky, from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations University (MGIMO), were recently in Phnom Penh to discuss the possibility of training Cambodian officials in diplomacy. Sonny Inbaraj Krishnan spoke to the academics and discussed MGIMO's role, not only in Cambodia but also in Asean.
KT: The former Soviet Union was instrumental in building up the skills base of the Kingdom, then rising up from the ashes of the brutal Khmer Rouge. Is technical assistance on par now, especially in diplomacy training, as compared to that period? How is Russia helping build up capacity in diplomacy and international relations?
Ms Koldunova: The Moscow State Institute of International Relations University, or MGIMO, has close ties with Cambodia's National Institute of Diplomacy and International Relations (NIDIR), which was recently set up under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Cambodia wanted this institution to be built to help train diplomats and this move by the ministry is very timely. Because of the dynamic nature of things in the world at the present moment, even established diplomatic training institutions have challenges when it comes to training and building capacity. For Cambodia, with our university's history and understanding of different political landscapes, we make a good fit to help with this new initiative.
MGIMO was established in the final years of World War II when the Soviet Union had to train the new generation of diplomats to achieve national interests while maintaining good relationships with countries worldwide. I see similarities of the then Soviet Union's need for training diplomats after a massive war and Cambodia's needs in a similar situation. To have a special system for training diplomats is a good move by Cambodia.
KT: Is your university exchanging a curriculum with NIDIR?
Ms Koldunova: We can share our experience of constructing the teaching programmes. Professional development will come first but we can share our experience with teaching analysis. We will cooperate not only in the technical phase but also in the exchange of opinions, expert and academic communication. It's a two-way process – MGIMO working with NIDIR, in this capacity also will benefit our university with new ideas and perspectives.
Dr Sumsky: I share similar sentiments to what Ms Koldunova has said. The diplomatic landscape is changing. Unfortunately, what you see in the news or what's being talked about in a public platform is more about intelligence than diplomacy. The world seems to be on the brink of something much worse. I think the only hope now is to know how to lessen this risk of that happening. It is important to understand these changes and how to initiate dialogue among nations to continue the healthy development of international relations. This is what we're doing with Cambodian professionals in NIDIR. We're getting them together to share ideas in a bid to help solve some of these larger issues. There is a double value in this: the first is educational and the other is strategic analysis. This will help develop an understanding of what is happening now in terms of diplomacy and international relations and finding a way out of a possible conundrum.
KT: Are you helping NIDIR in both track one and track two diplomacy?
Dr Sumsky: This has yet to happen right now. We're at the issues stage where it is very important to understand our mutual needs and intentions. In our next project, we can develop a better interaction between our foreign ministers. In my opinion, we're on a 1.5 track dialogue where we are talking as academics and our strategic analysis and assessments can be shared with foreign policymakers.
KT: How do you see diplomacy between Asean and Russia?
Ms Koldunova: Last August, Russia opened a Permanent Mission to Asean in Jakarta. But the Asean Centre in MGIMO has been in operation since June 2010. MGIMO's rector Professor Anatoly Torkunov is behind Asean at least 150 percent. This is a sign that Russia takes Asean very seriously. Now we have an additional channel of communication and this is a sign that our relations are progressing in the right direction. A lot goes into understanding all the 10 Asean countries, not just one or two.
MGIMO's Asean Centre enhances to produce analyses and enhance people-to-people cooperation. The centre also allows us to engage the expertise in Asean countries, and this is important after the collapse of the bipolar global system, where everything seems to be globalised. Though it might seem universalist in a certain way, it is not really so. We need to approach Asean countries differently, than for instance approaching China or India.
The importance of enhancing the quality and dynamics of Asean-Russia economic cooperation motivates MGIMO's Asean Centre to work more consistently for greater connectivity between the dialogue partners.
Dr Sumsky: Let me also bring up the essentials of Russia-Asean relations. If you look back to the 1990s when Russia was very introspective and most concentrated on its domestic issues, Asean demonstrated its willingness to engage our country in security issues, trade etc. Eventually, Russia became one of Asean's dialogue partners, and this is important for creating a new security and cooperation architecture in East Asia.
KT: Does MGIMO's Asean Centre have any ties with the region's universities?
Dr Sumsky: Definitely. We have partnerships with many institutes in Asean. We have lectured in Chulalongkorn University and also Thammasart University in Thailand and also in Vietnam and Indonesia. Of course, this list can be expanded to many other countries in the region.
KT: How can Russia help Asean from falling victim to outside forces that could lead to its unravelling? Asean operates on consensus, and all Asean members having a common understanding on issues is important.
Dr Sumsky: Russia does not over involve itself with misunderstandings between the different Asean countries. But let me stress that Asean's centrality is crucial for economic stability, which is an important part of the world. The establishment of the Permanent Mission to Asean in Jakarta shows Russia's support for the region's centrality. We don't think that anybody really wants to go back to the Cold War past where an unmanageable divide existed. Asean's success in going forward is its cohesiveness.

How to clean and replace your Dishwasher Filter?
Not many people think about or often remember that their dishwasher needs cleaning too; after all, it's the one responsible for cleaning the dishes so naturally, it should stay clean right? But you should also ask yourself what happens to the dirt coming from the dishes, pots, and pans it cleans?
Although it's true that all food debris goes into a special filter that holds all this until you have to clean and take it away, the dirt, grime, and grease builds up not only in the major filter but around your dishwasher too. You may not think that it does anything wrong to your dishwasher, except make it gross, but what you don't know is that it affects the overall performance of the dishwasher.
Not only those, but dishwashers that are unclean are known to harbor fungus along with bad odors that may affect your dishware. This is especially the case if you aren't the type of user who rinses the plates before putting them on the washer. Because cleaning the dishwasher and the filter vital to keeping a healthy environment, we have listed ways for you to do so.
What is the step-by-step procedure for cleaning and replacing a dishwasher filter?
Unplug the dishwasher from its electric source and take out all the racks and other removable items inside the dishwasher. If you can disassemble the big racks, do so.
Create a pool in your sink containing a dishwasher cleaning product or vinegar. You can also add lemon juice, but it's a bit costly.
Soak the racks and dishwasher bits into the pool you have created and leave them there for about 30 minutes or until you have finished doing the next step.
Wipe the dishwasher all over, starting from the doors, the floors, the walls, and then to the gasket. There are spots in the dishwasher that don't get splashed with water so you can expect some build-up in there. Use a damp cloth to wipe the area so the build-up will easily come off.
Use bleach or spray cleaners to remove mildew or mold in the dishwasher. Remember to avoid using bleach and detergents if your dishwasher has a stainless steel interior.
Also check the holes found spinning arms as debris might be stuck in it. Ensure that there's nothing clogging the holes because it is needed for the dishwasher to run efficiently. You may use pointy objects to pick the dirt or debris out.
Clean the racks and dishwasher items soaked in your solution, and then let them dry and set aside to prepare for replacing back inside the dishwasher.
The filter is found at the very bottom of the dishwasher. To access it, you will need screw drivers to unscrew it easily. Remember, each brand is different; you may want to check the manual of your dishwasher or check online to know the exact location of the filter.
After removing this main cover, you'll find two kinds of filters underneath; the "coarse" and "fine" filter. The first filter is responsible for trapping pieces of food while the second filter is responsible for trapping any particles from the water used in the cleaning cycle.
Take out these filters and gently scrub them using a soft unused toothbrush. You may also want to soak it, along with the other removable parts, into the solution you made earlier.
Wipe the area where you had taken out the filter with a soft damp cloth to remove any stains and grimes.
Rinse and dry the filters and other parts you have taken out and put them back to their original location, piece by piece. Screw the base and replace all the racks and dishwasher parts you have taken out earlier.
Key Takeaway: It is important to take some time cleaning your dishwasher. It is recommended to clean the interior of the dishwasher at least once a month, while you can clean the filters and its surroundings once or twice every six months, depending on how heavily you use it.
What are they ways to maintain a clean filter and dishwasher?
Periodically pour vinegar or baking soda onto the bottom of the dishwasher and run it empty. It not only cleans the entire dishwasher but it also deodorizes it. You can also soak the vinegar or baking soda on the bottom for an hour.
Before putting the dirty dishware into the washer, make it a habit to rinse the plates, pans, and pots first. This is so that you can ease the cleaning process by softening or removing food scraps and grease.
Don't forget to wipe the front and the control panel of the dishwasher too to keep it clean and shiny-looking.
Key Takeaway: Keeping the dishwasher clean and maintained is a good way to prolong its life. You're also maximizing the use you can get out of your dishwasher because it performs well when the filters are thoroughly clear.
Cleaning and replacing the dishwasher filter may sound like a boring and daunting task but you really need to do it once every while to keep your dishwasher in tip-top shape and good working condition. In the long run, you'll find that it's really worth it as it extends your dishwasher's life.

Azra, Azyumardi. The Origins of Islamic Reformism in Southeast Asia: Networks of Malay-Indonesian and Middle Eastern Ulama in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Asian Studies Association of Australia, Southeast Asia Publication Series, ed. Virginia Hooker. Honolulu: Allen & Unwin and University of Hawaii Press, 2004.
Azra (2004): 143-44 – Sheikh Daud bin Abdullah al-Fatani was a major proponent of jihad (holy war) among Malay-Indonesian scholars in the 18th century. He saw the increasing attempts of the Thais to tighten their grip over the Muslim region of Patani and became a major concern for him (which is not surprising, given the declining political realities for the sultanate, especially after 1785). He delineated his ideas on jihad in his various works. For example, his work on prayer (salat), entitled Munyat al-Musalli in Malay, completed in Mecca in 1827, has some political overtones. Azra points to Matheson and Hooker's article, who claim that he wrote this specifically for Muslims in Patani to support them in their struggles against the Thais. Al-Fatani's ideas teachings on jihad appear to bear some relation to his idea of the Islamic state. In his opinion, an Islamic state (dar al-Islam) should be based on the Qur'an and the hadith; otherwise it would be called a state of unbelievers (dar al-kufr). Furthermore, he believed that it was an essential obligation (fard al-ayn) for every Muslim to wage jihad against hostile unbelievers (kafir al-harb). If an Islamic state is attacked and annexed by unbelievers, the Muslims are obliged to fight them until they regain their freedom. As for the jihad to expand the realm of Islam, which involves the subduing of unbelievers, it is only a fard al-kifayah, an obligation which is acquitted in the name of all as long as it is performed by some. In both cases of jihad, al-Fatani stresses the need for Muslims to have fighting strategies; they must not wage jihad if they are ill-prepared militarily.
Azra (2004): 150-51 – The decline of tasawwuf (Sufism, mysticism) in favor of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and usul al-din (dogmatic theology) can be seen in many places, but particularly in the scholarship of Patani-born scholars. Azra argues this was due to the rise of European dominance and so-called scientific rationalism to which Islamic writers responded with their own reinterpretation of their own beliefs and practices. As Snouck Hurgronje observed, this was a result of the fact that in Mecca, the chief branches of learning had been reduced to those two. In Patani, it may also be seen that tasawwuf was of lesser importance because of its struggle against Siam (not to mention its place as a pawn in the imperialist struggle between France and Britain). Patani ulama of the time seem to have been most concerned with the maintenance of the Malay Muslim identity. Azra goes onto show the role played by Sheikh Ahmad, his students including Tok Kenali, and their influence in the Patani-Kelantan region as well as throughout the archipelago as reformers.
Bonney, R. Kedah 1771-1821: The Search for Security and Independence. East Asian Historical Monographs, ed. Wang Gungwu. Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1971.
p. 7. Although by 1818, Kedah's tin exports had been dwarfed in comparison to Perak and Selangor, it still managed to control tin exports from Patani, Kelian Intan, and Keroh, which had to pass down the Sungei Muda. Bonney depicts Kedah as a burgeoning entrepot at this time with a great variety of products such as rice, tin, timber, rattan, elephants, ivory, wax, dammar, fish, tripang, and bird's nests, as well as products from Patani and northern Sumatra.
p. 79-80. By the beginning of August 1786, the fortress at Pujit had fallen, after which the uparat began a systematic policy of the extermination of inhabitants of Patani as well as confiscating a large number of people as slaves. The uparat even warned Kedah against accepting any refugees from Patani. This of course put Kedah in an impossible position – faced on the one hand with a conquering army at its borders, and on the other with the impossibility of preventing such refugees from coming into Kedah.
p. 81. The Siamese, having fully subjugated Patani by November 1786, began to assert greater pressure on the other northern Malay states.
p. 101-02. In June or July 1791, there appeared in Kedah, Sheikh Abdul Kamal of Mecca, who sought assistance in exacting revenge for the sufferings of the Patani chief in 1786-87. Sultan Abdullah ended up supplying some arms for the purpose, but they were deemed insufficient to gain success. Though the movement made initial headway, it was soon crushed and Patani was laid waste.
p. 159-60. In the period 1818-19, the English, based in Penang, attempted to force Kedah into granting them a monopoly over the tin trade of Perak and Patani, as well as other territorial and economic concessions.
Hall, D. G. E. A History of South-East Asia. 4th ed. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1981.
p. 554. At the time of the Siamese conquest of Kedah, this caused much apprehension with the British at Penang, who drew most of their food-supply from Kedah at that time. It had been carrying on an important tin trade with other Siamese dependences, such as Perak, Patani, and Junk Ceylon, the most important of the three. Thus relations between the British at Calcutta and Bangkok hastened in 1822 and they sent John Crawfurd as their emissary.
Johns, A. H. "Islam in the Malay World: An Exploratory Survey with Some Reference to Quranic Exegesis," in Islam in Asia – Volume 2: Southeast and East Asia, ed. Raphael Israeli and Anthony H. Johns. Jerusalem: Magnes Press, 1984.
p. 130-31. Patani rose to become one of the major Southeast Asian centers of education. This movement was led by Da'ud ibn Abd Allah ibn Idris. In 1809, he compiled a treatise on marriage based on well-known Shafi'ite law books such as al-Minhaj, al-Fath al-Wahhad, al-Tuhfa, and al-Nihaya. In 1816, he wrote a book, often reprinted, al-durr al-thamin fi l-i'tiqad, and in 1824, he published a rendering of al-Ghazali's Minhaj al-Abidin. In 1838, he compiled Furu al-masa'il wa usul al-Masa'il and a selection from the judgments of Ramli and the Kashf al-anam an as'ila al-anam of Husayn b. Muhammad al-Mahalli on points of fiqh such as ritual purity, the five pillars of Islam, ritual slaughter and questions of inheritance. Other scholars are also known in Mecca, such as Sheikh Zayn al-Abidin b. Ahmad al-Patani, who wrote a Malay work, Kashf al-Ghaybiyya, based on three Arabic treatises, daqa'iq al-akhbar fi dhikr al-janna wa l-nar by Imam Abd al-Rahim b. Ahmad al-Qadi, al-durar al-hisan of al-Suyuti and Mashariq al-Anwar by Sheikh Hasan al-Adawi.

p. 124. Kelantan and Terengganu both supported Patani in its 1831 uprising. This uprising was led by six of the seven petty princes of the splintered 7 provinces (the exception being Yaring, who was ruled by a Siamese governor). Afterward, the rebel leaders fled to Kelantan and Terengganu, but were handed over to the Siamese rulers as part of the negotiations that followed (which included, for Kelantan, the payment of indemnities as well).
p. 124, 161. Patani was split into seven petty principalities following its rebellion in 1808 in an attempt by Siam to fracture its political power. These principalities were: Tani, Jaring/Yaring, Saiburi, Legeh/Ra-ngae, Raman, Yala, and Nongchik, known collectively as Khaek Jet Huamuang. They were administered as separate political units, each with its own phraya/governor who was given the authority of a frontier provincial governor. They were also put under the supervision of Songkhla, which was elevated to the position of viceroyalty of the South.
p. 165. In 1789, the raja of Patani wrote to Nguyen Anh (later emperor Gia Long) of Annam, inviting him to join with Patani in attacking Siam. Kobkua argues that Patani was the leading antagonist of Siam among the Malay communities adjoining the kingdom.

p. 334. Patani tried to revolt against Rama I by projecting itself as a center of reformist Islam and Malay culture.

p. 132. The treaty between Britain and Siam in 1824 was mainly done to address what Britain saw as interference by Siam in its trade relations with its southern principalities, where it conducted a steady tin trade at Perak, Patani, Ujong Salang, and elsewhere. Penang has also begun trade with Siam in 1817 and in 1820-21, this trade was valued at $207,750.
p. 139. British Gov. Fullerton wrote, Oct 24, 1824, a dispatch to the Supreme Government which foreshadowed his Malayan policy for the next three years. He strongly advocated the restoration of the ex-sultan of Kedah and insisted that Siam renounce all claims to sovereignty over every Malay state south of Kedah and Patani. Such pretensions had no legal justification, in his view, for "no act of superiority whatever has been exerted over any state South-East of Kedah within the memory of man." He also seems to have predicted the outbreak of a war, led by the raja of Ligor. His views were strongly influenced by Anderson's pamphlet of the same year.
Sarasin Viraphol, Tribute and Profit: Sino-Siamese Trade, 1652-1853. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1977.
p. 159. Notes that by the first decade of the 19th century, tributary trade was giving way to commercialism. In the Chinese document Ta Ch'ing hui-tien (1818) named Chaiya, Ligor, Songkla, and Patani as hu-shih chu-kuo (trading states) rather than as kung-kuo (tributaries) as it had in the past.
p. 174. The east coast of the Malay-Siam Peninsula was particularly known for its tin deposits, making it attractive to merchants during the reign of Rama I. By the turn of the century, Chinese merchants flocked there, including several gold prospectors who sought trade in the region.
Sarasin (1977): 201 – In the 1830s, pepper remained an important product for export to Chinese ports from the peninsula. Patani and Kelantan together produced around 16,000 piculs and Terengganu produced about 8,000 annually.
p. 215. By Burney's visit to Ligor in 1826, direct trade between the region and China had ceased. However, local ethnic Chinese merchants were in complete control of the transfer of goods to Bangkok for re-export to China. In Trang and Patani, the Chinese also exported elephant's teeth, tin, and bird's nests to the capital for the junk trade.

p. The British aimed under Governor Fullerton to restore the raja of Kedah to his former position relatively free of tribute, and for Siam to disavow all claims to Malay states on the peninsula south of Patani, including Perak, Selangor, Kelantan, and Trengganu.

Governor Bannerman, after the close of the Napoleonic War, determined to develop Malay tin resources by establishing a settlement on Pulau Pangkor off Perak, and by opening negotiations with the rajas of Perak, Selangor, and Kedah (the last of which controlled routes to Patani). This had been disrupted by the 1819 invasion by Siam. Clubley believed that a challenge to Siam would lead naturally to a revival of the trade with Patani.
p. 31. Late in 1823, Maingy formed a depot for tin on the Muda River with a view to encouraging trade with Patani from Wellesley.
p. 43. In August 1832, the British reported Siamese warships arriving in Trengganu that claimed they were pursuing Patani rebels, but Bonham, then Resident Councillor at Singapore, had thought they might openly attack Kelantan and Trengganu (and he cites the Burney treaty).
p. 44. The Siamese Phra Klang (Siamese Foreign Minister) visited Kelantan and fined the raja for harboring the raja of Patani. He cites Moor's 1837 work, p. 201.
Wyatt, David K. Thailand: A Short History. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1982.
p. 151. By 1785, the Burmese were taking control of southern Siam without much resistance. At that moment, the army of the uparat entered the peninsula. The Burmese army, afraid of being cut off, retreated north, ultimately back to Burma. Rama I then ordered the uparat to consolidate Siam's position over the south. Patani initially resisted but was defeated and had a new ruler imposed upon them. The other southern states of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu all soon fell into line and began paying tribute once more. Furthermore, the ruler of Songkla, a relative newcomer of Chinese origins, was put in charge of Siam's relations with all of the southern Malay tributary states and reported directly to Bangkok. Wyatt speculates that Patani probably rebelled because it believed Thonburi to have already fallen or that they believed Siam would not be able to resist Burmese military power.
p. 158. The ruler who had been installed by the uparat in 1785 again attempted to organized renewed resistance to Siamese rule, as a result of which a new Siamese expedition was sent into the state in 1791 to install yet another ruler.
p. 169. In the Burney Treaty of 1826, Siam's position in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Patani was recognized and a border between British Burma and Siam was established.
p. 172. Trouble erupted in the south first in Kedah in 1831, when supporters of the exiled Sultan Ahmad launched a rebellion that managed to expel Siamese officials stationed there. The governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Chaophraya Nakhon (Noi), began to levy an army and asked Songkla and Patani to do the same. Songkla resisted and Patani again rebelled. Patani had been divided into seven petty states under Songkla's control since 1817, but these states now joined forces in what they thought was an opportunity to end Siam's overlordship. When they attacked Songkla, the latter had to appeal to Bangkok for aid, and even the four armies Siam sent were insufficient to repulse the Patani Malays, who were supported by Kelantan and Terengganu. Additional forces were sent to the region and were reinforced in early 1832 by the Nakhon Si Thammarat armies, which had succeeded in recapturing Kedah and reinstalling Siamese government there. By mid-year, the seven states of Patani were subdued, and new governors were appointed to most of the states, including Siamese in Patani itself and in Yaring.
p. 173. Scarcely a decade after the 1831-32 rebellion, a similar scene played out again. Supporters of Sultan Ahmad rebelled in 1838 and advanced on Songkla and Patani. A few months later, in early 1839, the Siamese counter-attacked from Nakhon and Songkla, and by late March they had reconquered Kedah. Meanwhile, Kelantan fell into civil war and only by outside military intervention were the two parties reconciled.

Most people know the late Lee Wulff as the world's foremost salmon angler. Few, if any, think of him as a skilled bush pilot and explorer. But he was both, as Lee reveals in this extraordinary memoir. Based on an unpublished manuscript that was rediscovered only recently by his widow, Joan Wulff, this book tells the story of Lee's years pioneering the Atlantic salmon and brook trout fisheries on the remote coasts of northeastern Newfoundland and Labrador.
Having established a handful of outpost sporting camps by boat, Wulff quickly realized that getting clients and supplies in and out efficiently would require an airplane. So he cut a deal with Piper Aircraft and learned to fly a new bright-yellow J-3 Cub equipped with floats. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, he ferried his sports one-by-one into isolated lakes and rivers where the fishing went beyond their wildest dreams.
Soar with Wulff through unpredictable mountain gusts, low over muskeg bogs, and blind through thick fog and smothering darkness. Meet his sons, Barry and Allan, and feel their father's pride as both become good anglers and valuable contributors to the operation of the camps. Get to know the warm, hard-working Newfoundlanders recruited as guides and camp staff. And share salmon pools with some of World War II's most notable generals, who fished with Lee during brief breaks from the horrors of the European front.
Bush Pilot Angler is an unforgettable story of courage, flying, love, and fishing. It is a fitting tribute to Lee Wulff, an extraordinary man who fought tirelessly for the conversation of his beloved Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland and throughout North America.
Born in Valdez, Alaska, in 1905, Lee Wulff was a freelance artist and writer, and eventually a producer of fishing and hunting films. He died April 28, 1991, at the age of 86, after suffering a heart attack while flying his Piper Super Cub.

C'mon, Get Happy: Celebrate Jill Pagano's Book Launch on March 10!
Move2Center would not exist if not for the inspiration and guidance of our mentor Jill Pagano.
"Getting Happy with Your Body"!
Please join Jill as we discuss the message and the mission of the book, and play with journal exercises and of course... our bodies!
Like the birth of a baby, I'm happy to announce the arrival of my debut book "Getting Happy with Your Body". Oh, what an amazing process! Twenty-five years of teaching and a few years of handwritten notes now boiled into nine of my favorite chapters.
I am thrilled after investing my energy and sacrificing my body (all that sitting!) to offer you my very first written love story that shares my current understanding of how to live in, learn from and love our body.
This project has humbled me, brought me to tears and also lent itself to many magical moments. How can I possibly describe the creative process which takes on a life of its own? Well, I really can't do it justice--but I do feel like I've taken a big soul-exhale. My hopes is to inspire fresh life into each person who opens the cover.
Can't make the event? Jill's book is available for purchase on Amazon. Click here to order!
I also believe that behind the present success of move2center, there is an effort of Jill Pagano. Jill Pagano is an amazing lady. I would love to read her beautiful experiences. I am going to buy her book as soon as possible.

Apologies to readers who have come here looking for the teaching materials mentioned in that article: Recent deadlines have prevented me from getting those printouts on the site, but they are coming soon. Thanks for your patience!

"The Crilley family's new favorite ice cream: Cold Stone banana. Mmmm...."
Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to follow my updates. I'll do my best not to bore you all to death!
"ENORMOUS EGG" IN STORES NOW [4.17.09] My re-illustrated version of Oliver Butterworth's "The Enormous Egg" has now hit the shelves, allowing a whole new generation of readers to enjoy this beloved classic tale of a boy and his triceratops. At left is a direct link to Amazon if you'd like to grab a copy.
RE-ILLUSTRATED "ENORMOUS EGG" NEARING RELEASE [3.28.09] Little, Brown & Co. tell me that my newly re-illustrated edition of Oliver Butterworth's classic "The Enormous Egg" will soon be in stores. Click on the graphic at left to view a mock-up of the front cover (this from the audio book edition) and a sample of one of my interior illustrations. It was a huge honor to be chosen as the new illustrator for this much beloved story, which has never gone out of print since it was first published in 1956. I'm very excited to see the finished books once they're off the presses. As soon as I get a precise on-sale date I'll let you all know.
"Over the past three and a half years I�ve read dozens of kids� books to my secret panel of advisers -- from when they were ages 5 and 8 through their ages now, 8 and 11, a boy and a girl. Our titles spanned contemporary bestsellers like Artemis Fowl and Inkheart, classics like Anne of Green Gables and Oliver Twist, and series from My Teacher is an Alien and His Dark Materials trilogy. I read Harry Potter to my son. All the books engaged them � they�re bright kids. But we had more laughs, more smiles and more pure enjoyment from the Akiko series than any of the above mentioned books, however acclaimed and great they may be."
Thanks so much, Diane. "Laughs, smiles and pure enjoyment" is always what I'm going for with Akiko, so I'm delighted to hear you've found them in the latest book, and in the series as a whole.
You can see the rest of Diane's list right here.
"MISSING MISP" IN STORES NOW [11.12.08] The tenth book in the Akiko series has just hit the shelves, and since this time-travelling tale has Akiko visiting the planet Smoo of many years ago, I can guarantee it allows you to see Spuckler, Mr. Beeba, Gax, and Poog as you've never seen them before! Thanks in advance to anyone who picks up a copy. If you'd like to get it online, just click here.
"This fun, light sci-fi romp fits in nicely with its predecessors and is a pleasant addition to this long-standing series. Thanks to plenty of fill-in references to her previous adventures, new readers can easily delve into this installment, although most will likely seek out prior volumes to catch up on more of Akiko�s intergalactic escapades."
It always nice to get the thumbs up from reviewers as respected as those at Kirkus. Thanks in advance to anyone who picks up the book. If you'd like to get it at Amazon, here's the direct link.
MIKI FALLS TO BE FEATURED ON JAPANESE TV [9.10.08] I've just gotten word that on September 30th Miki Falls will be featured on the Japanese NHK television program "Imagine-Nation", a half-hour weekly news magazine focusing on Japanese comics, anime and games.
It may be possible to view the segment online at some point. I'll keep you all posted!
"Crilley is best known for his "Akiko" young adult novels and comicbooks. His first "Miki Falls" tome, each of which span a season of the calendar, was published in May 2007 by HarperTeen.
"Gamble is a producer of the CW Network series "Supernatural" and was a staff writer on "Eyes," which aired on ABC."
Sadly I don't have any more news at this stage than the rest of you, but I'll keep you posted as it comes in!
RE-ILLUSTRATING "THE ENORMOUS EGG" [7.30.08] I'm very proud to announce that Little, Brown has selected me as their illustrator of choice for an April 2009 reissue of the classic 1950's chapter book, The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth. It is a huge honor to be entrusted with re-illustrating this beloved book for a new generation, and I am doing my best to do justice to the unforgettable story it tells: that of a boy and his--get this--pet triceratops.
I will have sample illustrations to share in the months ahead, but for now I'll just let you all know how pleased I am to be making my debut, in a sense, as an illustrator. Until now I have only illustrated books I have also written, so I see this as a big step into a whole new field. With any luck there will be other such projects in the years to come.
FRONT PAGE FEATURE ON YOUTUBE [6.7.08] YouTube has put one of my videos on its front page, taking it from something like 30,000 views to well over 200,000 views overnight. Thanks, YouTube, for this crucial support!
AKIKO & THE MISSING MISP COVER ART [4.19.08] Sorry for having taken an extended break from updating the website, friends! I'll try to get back on top of things in the weeks and months ahead.
I'm happy to report that all the work is now done on Akiko and the Missing Misp, the tenth Akiko novel from Random House. I'll be showing sneak peeks of the interior artwork as we get nearer to the publication date (this coming Nov. 11th), but in the meantime here's the final cover art, in which we see the younger versions of Mr. Beeba, Spuckler, Poog and Gax.
MIKI FALLS ON ALA'S "GREAT GRAPHIC NOVEL FOR TEENS" LIST [2.2.08] The American Library Association has put all three eligible Miki Falls books--the ones published last year--on its 2008 "Great Graphic Novels for Teens" list. It's one of only a dozen or so manga titles to make the list. You can see the entire list right here.
GLOWING REVIEW FOR "FLIGHTS OF FANCY" [1.8.08] Matt Brady over at Newsarama.com has given my new Akiko collection a real rave review, declaring the series itself to be "indisputably one of the great all-ages adventure comic book series of all time." You can read the entire review right here, though you'll have to scroll down about a third of the way through the page to get to it. Special thanks to longtime Akiko reader Dan Stroshine for pointing this review out to me!
MIKI FALLS WINTER COMING SOON! [12.17.07] Not too much to report these days, but I did want to make sure everyone knows that the final book in the Miki Falls series, Miki Falls: Winter, hits the bookstore shelves Jan. 1st, about two weeks from now. The completed volumes of Miki Falls represent the equivalent of about 22 issues of a conventional comic book series published over a period of just eight months--close to three issues per month--so it has been for me truly the most productive period of my career so far. My deepest appreciaton to anyone who has supported the series; it's been a thrill to hear from people who have enjoyed reading Miki's story as much as I have creating it.
FLIGHTS OF FANCY: THE EXPANDED EDITION [11.22.07] Sirius Entertainment has released a much-expanded edition of the "Akiko Flights of Fancy" trade paperback, a collection of the short back-up features that were included with most of the 52 issues of the Akiko comic book series. There are a number of things I miss about the work situation I had when Akiko was being published, and foremost among them is the complete artistic freedom Sirius gave me to write and draw pretty much anything I wanted to from one issue to the next. That carefree, "hmm-let's-try-this" spirit is very much in evidence in Flights of Fancy, and I'm delighted at the prospect of this material being rediscovered by way of this new book. In keeping with Akiko's cultish status this new volume is going to be very hard to find, even in specialty comic book stores, so if you're interested I'd urge you to go straight to the source and order it from Cosmic Therapy.
In other news I'd just like to somewhat sheepishly announce that I will no longer be attempting to hold to my 'Updated Every Monday' pledge here on the website. These days I am adding new Youtube videos and Deviantart illustrations at a rate of at least one per week, sometimes more, so I think that's where my internet energies will be focused for the near future. I will keep updating the website whenever there's news to share, but I expect that will be more on the order of once a month or so. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks in advance to anyone who buys either of these books. I greatly appreciate the support!
MANGABLOG: COMPLETE PUBLISHERS WEEKLY INTERVIEW [9.4.07] Brigid Alverson has kindly run the entirety of our interview over at Mangablog.net. This probably constitutes the most complete Miki Falls interview yet, so it's well worth checking out if you're curious about Miki and her origins.
FIRST GLIMPSE: AKIKO AND THE MISSING MISP [8.28.07] I have just completed the manuscript for the 10th Akiko novel from Random House--a time travel story--and am now beginning work on the illustrations. Here is the rough sketch for the front cover in which you will see what Akiko's friends look like 25 years younger!
Click here to see what Warren and other comics professionals had to say about it.
Meanwhile author Neil Cohn wrote at length about my quote over on his blog.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY FEATURES MIKI FALLS [8.22.07] Just wanted to quickly post this link to Brigid Alverson's wonderfully kind feature article in the latest issue of Publishers Weekly.
Also Journalista, the news weblog of The Comics Journal, has pulled a line or two from the article (in which I rather recklessly declare manga to be "the language of this generation"!) and run it as their quote of the day.
Thanks so much, Brigid, for shining a spotlight on Miki Falls!
MORE MIKI FALLS FAN ART [8.20.07] Hi friends, sorry I missed my update last week: I'm in the final push to complete Miki Falls: Winter and time is scarce! There should always be time, though, to show off beautiful artwork by supportive readers. Here is a thumbnail featuring two different renderings of Miki. The one at left is by a young woman who goes by the name of Kitari Blade (and includes "Silence", a character of her own creation). At right is a "Miki meets Bleach" illustration by longtime internet comics reviewer Dave Van Domelen. Thanks, Kitari and Dave, for two fantastic pieces of art!
Special thanks to Comic Pants.com, where Dave Farabee has twice included one of the Miki Falls books in his "Top Five Friday" list.
Next week I'll be back with a first glimpse look at a cover art sketch for "Akiko and the Missing Misp," the tenth Akiko novel from Random House!
Art from Kitari and Dave!
GLOWING REVIEWS FOR MIKI [8.6.07] Today was National Review Miki Falls Positively Day, or so it seemed as I was made aware of three different new reviews, all of them with extremely nice things to say about Miki Falls.
"Beautifully written and drawn, Spring nonetheless threw me a curve as I started reading it... Crilley�s new work seemed to be a typical �schoolgirl in love with unattainable guy� manga-style story. Silly me.
"By the end of the first book, with the reveal of why handsome Hiro shuns the company of Miki and others, Miki Falls is likewise revealed to be a modern mythology with a delicious romantic center. The nature of this mythology demands I tiptoe around plot elements. Don�t let my silence dissuade you from checking out a brilliant new series by one of comicdom�s best storytellers. Miki Falls: Spring earns the full five Tonys."
Thanks so much, Tony! I really appreciate you endorsing my new project so strongly.
"Crilley�s art has come a long with since Akiko. The page layouts are more dynamic, making greater use of extreme close-ups and angles to enhance the drama and bring out nuances of the characters� reactions. Yet the characters retain the sense of originality and humanity that made the most outrageous characters in Akiko feel as real as your best friend. In Miki Falls, nuanced pencil shading gives depth to each panel, and the pages are composed to draw the reader into the characters� world, making you feel part of what�s occurring. Crilley�s choice to frequently forgo the exclusionary walls of traditional panels gives the images room to spill over into the reader�s imagination."
"The soft black-and-white illustrations perfectly complement this gentle, at times hopeful, and at times heartbreaking story about young love. Highly recommended, as is the first graphic novel "Miki Falls: Spring".
Thanks so much for the support, everyone. It's a real thrill to have this new series so highly regarded and warmly embraced by critics.
COMING SOON: PUBLISHERS WEEKLY INTERVIEW [7.30.07] I was interviewed last Friday by Brigid Alverson, the creator of mangablog.net, who is working on an article about Miki Falls for Publishers Weekly. This will be the first time PW has run an article on one of my book series, so I am (needless to say) pretty excited about it! I'll let you all know when it hits the stands and see if I can quote a passage or two here on the website.
"Crilley�s art has continued to refine itself over the years, and as much as I�ve liked his work on Akiko, Miki Falls is his best creation to date."
Thanks so much, Greg. I really appreciate your enthusiastic support for Miki!
"What initially appears to be a typical tale of a girl blindly pursuing an unavailable boy develops into an intriguing, complex story... the description and dialogue flesh out the story and create a sort of hybrid of Japanese- and American-style comics that will appeal to fans of shojo manga and romantic fiction. The series manages to be all these things and more."
Thanks, VOYA, for one of the best reviews yet!
PAGE-O-METER UPDATE: NEARING THE HOME STRETCH! [7.1.07] In celebration of completing all my work on Miki Falls: Autumn(due out October 1st), I've updated my "page-o-meter" to show how close I am to finishing the job.
Some people have got hold of Miki Falls: Summer already and response so far is very positive. Hopefully I'll have some reviews for you by this time next week. Also word has it that Publishers Weekly is going to do an article on me and my books, including both Akiko and Miki Falls. I'll keep you posted!
NEW GRAPHICS: BULLETIN BOARD AND ITALIAN BOOKMARK [6.24.07] Hello friends! Sorry my 'updated every Monday' website has been unchanged the last couple Mondays; just catching up on deadlines. To make amends I've added two new graphics this week. First up is a bulletin board for displaying the photos I've been sent by Miki Falls readers. It's such a thrill to see the book reaching readers!
Next is a promotional bookmark being produced by the publishers of an upcoming Italian edition of the Akiko comic book series. I was so thrilled with the classy design they came up I wanted to make sure my readers outside of Italy (ie, pretty much all my readers!) got a peek at it.
..."MIKI FALLS: SUMMER" ARRIVES IN BOOKSTORES SUNDAY, JULY 1ST!!!
(Ahem!) Thanks in advance to anyone who buys it. I personally feel it surpasses the first book in most respects. What can I say, I hope you'll agree!
NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: LIVE IN LIVONIA [6.3.07] Rebecca Jones covered one of my recent school appearances at Hoover Elementary in Livonia, Michigan for the Observer & Eccentric newspapers. You can view one of the photos at left, and see a couple more--along with the full article--right here. Special thanks to Loren Schnell, who organized my visit to the school.
SWEET 16 MAGAZINE FEATURES MIKI FALLS [5.26.07] I've just had word that the editors of Sweet 16 magazine have selected Miki Falls: Summer (due in stores July 1st) as one just seven books they're recommending as summer reads for 2007.
Meanwhile Mangalife.com has given Miki Falls: Spring a positive review, calling it "smart, funny and endearing." You can read the full review here.
Finally, Akiko reader Susan Brand has pointed out an instance of life imitating art. This Reuters article discusses Japanese sake as a fuels source, just as I did in the Akiko comic story arc "Stranded in Komura." Thanks for spotting this, Susan!
NEW SECTION: READER REVIEWS [5.21.07] Scroll down to check out some of the kind words readers have sent me about Miki Falls: Spring.
MIKI FALLS AUTUMN: PAGE ONE [5.14.07] Things are going to be pretty hectic in the coming weeks as I hustle to meet deadlines on Miki Falls: Autumn, so please forgive me if I miss a Monday update here and there!
Speaking of Autumn, here's a sneak peek at the opening page final art. I'm doing my best to make this volume really capture the season it's named after!
"I got Miki Falls: Spring like about two weeks ago I think.... well..... it's rrreeeaalllyyyy GREAT! In the end i was wondering who the real Miki is..... i am really hoping that summer will come out soon....."
"I got your book and it was super. It was more of a book than a manga and think that is why I love it so much and I would have never thought that a guy would be a love person I think it is super duper."
"I GOT YOUR BOOK MARK!!! IT WAS FANTAAAASSSTIC. As my sister commented as well, "It was the shiz."
"omg mark i got ur book thursday!!! lets just say i know ppl who know ppl at the book store!^^ and it was really really really amazing!...omg so good!!! lmao i cant stop going on about it!!"
"I absolutely loved everything about Miki Falls. The artwork, the story, and even just they way everything was spaced out made this a masterpiece."
"This book is absolutely beautiful."
"I'm in the process of reading your book which is amazing, really. I left it on the kitchen counter and my younger sister confessed she couldn't stop reading it when she picked it up."
"I have to tell you I finished Spring and I was speechless. Can't wait to read Summer. I loved the preview of the next book and made me want to read it all the more."
"I loved it Mark! It was great to actually see everything that you've been demonstrating for us on the youtube vids in print. Also, Yumi totally rocked and her outfits were really cute. Sorry if I'm jumping from topic to topic. The next is the secret. I would never have guessed a secret that big was in the basement. Well, now that we know, let the fun begin. YAY!!! Any-who, can't wait for new twists and turns. I love those!!!"
"I just wanted to say thank you for signing my book and that i have now officially read the Miki Falls book three times through!!! i loved the book!! and my brother Alex said that he is almost done and can't put it down."
I will likely be back with another update later in the week!
YOUTUBE VIDEO #10: WHAT IS MIKI FALLS REALLY ABOUT? [4.23.07] This video tells you, at long last, everything I'm willing to say about the plot of Miki Falls. There is nothing in here that I would call a "spoiler", but if you really don't want to know anything more about the book before you read it, then you might want to skip this one.
"A young girl�s journey into love evolves with the seasons in the stellar first volume of a quartet. (...) Complex characters combine with masterful, expressive art culminating in an arresting new series for teen readers. The soft, gentle romance between Miki and Hiro is brilliantly juxtaposed with the darker elements of the story creating a salient tension between the two, and crescendos in the next volume entitled Summer."
Mystery reviewer, whoever you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
And while the blogosphere has not exactly been abuzz about Miki, one blogger--who goes by the name Lucy Anne--has weighed in with a very positive review indeed. You can check it out right here.
LOOKING FOR MY EARLIER YOUTUBE VIDEOS? I've moved them to The Gallery.
"Crilley�s manga-inspired illustrations are terrific. Ranging from crisscrossing sequential panels to spot art, varied in size and artfully connected to further the plot, the pictures cleverly instill the story with abundant emotion, humor, and drama. An overlay of light shading and almost delicately rendered facial features and details give the book a softer feel than much manga."
Since reviewers of my Akiko rarely have anything to say about the illustrations, it's a real pleasure to have the art singled out like this. Here's hoping other reviewers feel similarly!
"Your books, Miki Falls: Spring by Mark Crilley and Miki Falls: Summer have been nominated for the new list which will come out in January of 2008."
Wow! The cool thing is this is almost certainly based only on the rough versions of the books; I'll bet they haven't even seen the final art yet. Libraries are a huge part of my life, so it's especially nice to get this kind of recognition.
IN THE WORKS: A NEW EDITION OF 'FLIGHTS OF FANCY' [2.18.07] Sirius Entertainment is working on a new expanded edition of 'FLIGHTS OF FANCY', the trade paperback that collects my comic strips and back-up features from the Akiko series. Watch this space for further updates!
THE STUDENTS MADE ME DO IT: "MR. SPUCKBEEB"! [2.12.07] Last Thursday I had the pleasure of a return invitation to speak at Waterford Village Elementary. During one of my presentations a young woman asked if I could draw a combination of two characters. The result: Mr. Spuckbeeb! For more photos from the visit, click on over to my blog.
A PUBLISHING FIRST: THE PAGE-O-METER! [1.28.07] In celebration of having passed the halfway point in the completion of Miki Falls, I've created an extremely silly bar graph to show readers (and, truth to tell, myself) how close I am to finishing the approximately 665 pages that will comprise the four books in the series. Just click the thumbnail and scroll, scroll, scroll!
In related news, the publishing schedule of Miki Falls has been modified slightly: The first book, "Spring", comes out this May. The second book, "Summer", comes out (quite fittingly) in July.

Texas officials mum, but Ohio State's Mike Yurcich likely to be new offensive coordinator
At Alamo Bowl press conference, Herman talked about the coordinator search in the past tense, indicating it's done
Brian Davis American-Statesman Staff
@BDavisAAS
If all goes according to plan, Tuesday's Alamo Bowl is the last time Tom Herman ever calls plays at Texas.
"You never want to say never, but I hope so," the Longhorns head coach said Friday.
Speaking to reporters in San Antonio, Herman did not give specifics about his offensive coordinator search. But all signs indicate Ohio State co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Yurcich will get that position soon.
Stadium reported Thursday that Yurcich, the most discussed candidate publicly, was expected to be named to the position next week. Texas officials have not confirmed that report, nor have they tried to shoot it down.

It's likely that Herman and the Longhorns are content to let Ohio State finish its season in the College Football Playoff before making it official. No. 2 Ohio State faces No. 3 Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl semifinals on Saturday.
Yurcich said he was "100% focused on Clemson" and deflected questions about Texas at a Fiesta Bowl news conference earlier this week.
Asked about the coordinator search on Friday, however, Herman described it in the past tense.
"I can't tell you much other than pleased the way that it went," Herman said. "Pleased that I had the opportunity to talk to as many quality candidates as we did.
"We knew we've got to get this right," he added. "But it's got to be not just right for the masses, but right for Texas. Right for what we believe in and who we want to be in on that side of the ball. I'm very pleased with where we're at on that timetable."
Herman made his reputation calling plays at Ohio State, most notably during the Buckeyes' 2014 national championship run. But when he arrived at UT in 2017, he made it clear he no longer wanted to do that.
Herman hired Tim Beck to call plays but ended up stripping him of those duties in 2018 when things turned bumpy. Herman has called plays himself since, although he's termed it a "collaborative" process with reporters.
By demoting Beck on Dec. 1 to just quarterbacks coach, Herman made it clear that he was looking for someone to take over play-calling duties. He wanted to go back to being a CEO-like head coach.
"I was a better head coach when I didn't have that responsibility," Herman said Friday, "and I owe it to this program to be the best version of me."
Yurcich holds a share of the coordinator title at Ohio State, but head coach Ryan Day directs the Buckeyes' offense. This season, Yurcich worked directly with quarterback Justin Fields, who threw 40 touchdowns and became a Heisman Trophy finalist.

Yurcich rose to prominence at Oklahoma State as Mike Gundy's offensive coordinator from 2013-18. During that time, he was twice nominated for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's best assistant. The Cowboys averaged 38 points per game during Yurcich's stay in Stillwater. OSU scored more than 40 points in almost half of its games and at least 50 points in 15 games.
Gundy discovered Yurcich after the assistant's two-year stint at Division II Shippensburg. In 2012, Shippensburg led all Division II schools in total yardage (529.2) and was second in scoring (46.9).
Herman hired another former Buckeye, defensive coordinator Chris Ash, earlier this month. Ash was the defensive coordinator at Ohio State from 2013-15. Ash called the defensive plays for Ohio State opposite Herman's offensive calls in 2014.
With both new coordinators in place, Herman is likely to fill out his coaching staff with assistants in January. His priorities this month were to find coordinators, finish recruiting and prepare to face No. 11 Utah in the Alamo Bowl.
Ash will not coach in the Alamo Bowl; his job will begin in full this offseason. If Yurcich is to be Herman's offensive coordinator, he would also likely start in mid-January.

Williams did most of his damage on long jump jumpers, going eight for 13 from the field. He also made all six of his free throws.
"We knew coming in, the way they guard, that was going to be open," Williams said of the jump shots. "We practiced it the last couple days. I knew I was going to get some shots like that. So I felt good taking them. I said after last game that I never played well here. I had a little extra motivation after saying that and came out and tried to do my best for my team."
▪ Backup point guard Nigel Johnson injured his right knee in the first half, and Weber said his status moving forward is unknown.
Johnson fell to the ground after the injury and needed help off the floor, but he quickly began walking under his own power and returned to the game. He spent the second half on the bench.
▪ K-State made 93.8 percent of its free throws, the 10th highest percentage in program history.
▪ K-State and Iowa State are used to close games at Hilton Coliseum. Their last four meetings in Ames have been decided by an average of five points.
▪ Key Play: Marcus Foster hit a jumper to spark a 9-0 run that put K-State on top 38-36 near the end of the half.
▪ Key Stat: K-State made 51.7 percent of its shots.
▪ Key Play: Abdel Nader blocked Jevon Thomas as he attempted a layup with the score tied at 69.
▪ Key Stat: K-State misses seven of its final eight shots.

I was inspired to create this piece by a visit to Meroogal, a house in Nowra on NSW's south coast, now part of Sydney Living Museums. The house was built in the 1800's and lived in by four generations of women. It has been preserved exactly as it was with in their time. It reminded me of my grandmother's house in Finland, equally untouched for decades, carrying the history and memory of generations. The piano in Meroogal House was a strong connecting link to my childhood, where piano playing dominated and set the mood in the living room. The atmosphere of Meroogal is one that is female and Christian; it could speak of a kind of independence and freedom or imprisonment and frustration. I chose a stop motion technique for this work because as a medium it is simple, raw and non-pretentious, and resonates with the storytelling side of what I want to share.
Piano 2016 was chosen for the Meroogal House biennial show for female artists in 2016.
