A private garden design for a sunken lower basement area in an overlooked city centre location. The design created a beautiful garden outlook to be accessed directly from the lower ground indoor pool for private entertaining. The vertical water walls created a cooling and calm ambience with backlit glass walls providing interest during night. A large sculptural pergola covered in fragrant climber planting created areas of shade and provided a sheltered and private space in which to relax.

Escape: Leuchie Walled Garden
An inviting combination of 200-year-old garden, modernist building and rich family history makes this an East Lothian holiday retreat with a difference
The formal walled garden has been restored and replanted by Janey Dalrymple
Photography Amanda Farnese Heath
Words Catherine Coyle
Finding a way to hang on to the past, without hoarding relics or clinging on to every scrap of memorabilia, is more difficult than you'd imagine. But striking a balance between honouring history and preserving something for the future is a balance that Janey and Hew Dalrymple have achieved with aplomb. When Hew's parents passed away in 2018, he knew he'd never be able to part with the modernist home they'd built 60 years ago in North Berwick, where he and his brothers grew up. But he was also aware that this quirky, mid-century home was not fit for 21st-century living.
The Leicht Primo kitchen by Kitchens International brings together the old and the new in this open-plan space
Designed by Sir James Dunbar-Nasmith (whose firm was responsible for the Edinburgh Festival Theatre) within the family's 200-year-old walled garden, the property has been given a sensitive, contemporary extension and renovation courtesy of Annie Macpherson of Gray Macpherson Architects. "Partner Mich Gray was a pupil of James Dunbar-Nasmith and had long admired the building," says Macpherson. "We were very conscious that any alterations must be respectful to the original design."
The garden in full bloom with Portugal laurels and paths edged with lavender
Working in collaboration with the architect, Hew and Janey have created a magical retreat for guests where all of the splendour of the original architecture has been offset by a subtle extension, the two combining to bring the focus through the house and out to the beautifully maintained and liberating walled garden.
"We have repurposed as much of the original family furniture as we could, including the portrait paintings, which have been wonderfully restored by Lucy and Nick Wright," says Janey, who took on the interior and garden design of the newly formed self-catering property. With six generous bedrooms, each with either an en-suite or an adjacent bathroom, as well as a reconfiguration of the original nursery into a dining room and the introduction of a large dining-kitchen that opens to impressive views of the garden, the pair had their work cut out for them.
The cosy library is well-stocked, framing the dining area beautifully
Repurposed mahogany and mirrors maintain the connection to the garden
But, with Hew's deep-rooted personal connections to the house and Janey's acute sensibilities that draw on the gentle palette of the garden, the renovation is an undeniable triumph. Restful tones such as the pastels of the tulips (Tulipa 'doll's minuet'), scillas and anemones (Anemone blanda) seep through into the bedlinen and bedroom furnishings. Contemporary interventions like underfloor heating and a Greenheat Renewables sustainable geothermal heating system play their part behind the scenes, and a new lighting design (developed under the watchful expertise of lighting consultant Victoria Richardson), brings the space to life.

Left: Clock House Furniture in Drem supplied much of the upholstery, including this headboard, covered in a Fermoie fabric that complements the Jaipur throw from Rajasthan Right: The garden is beautiful from every angle, with plenty of green nooks to get lost in
"Maintaining the hierarchy of spaces was important," explains Macpherson. "One of the great successes of the original building was the combination of traditional paintings and furniture with a modernist building, and our alternations carefully maintain these features."
"Skylights in the new part of the building bring in lots of natural light," says Janey, "and it has truly been transformed. It was always a welcoming house; now, we hope we've preserved it for generations to come."

We are living in an era where trees and greenery are slowly dwindling. The expanding population and the shortage of space have led to slowly destruction of trees. Most of us had a favourite tree from the neighbourhood which was our hang out and secret hiding place. Little do we realise that the tree is no longer available and a posh tall building occupies its space. While we were busy in our career and lives, the tree disappeared from our lives and from the earth. Most of us might wonder how a single tree can contribute to the ecological imbalance of the society. The tree was not only embodiment of leaves, flowers and fruit. It was the habitat of multiple insects and birds. They were an important part of our ecosystem. Our space constraint does not allow us to plant and grow big trees. We live in flats and gates communities with cement flooring which does not give scope for growing plants. Artificial Lawns can be a remedy. It might not restore the ecological balance. But it will provide a sense of well-being and goodness.
Imagine a green and healthy environment in and around your house. It would be a great place for kids to grow up and a fun to relish golden memories. Artificial Lawns does not eat up your time on maintenance which is an added advantage.
Why is it better than Natural Lawns?
We live in a world where time is a rare commodity. Most of us have juggle between multiple tasks every day. Even if we find the time, space is the next problem. We live in flats and residential apartments where we will have to cohabit with numerous people. Imagine living in the second floor, creating the soil bed for the lawn would be a herculean task. We would have to take ample measures to pour the right amount of water to the lawn. Too little will kill the grass and too much will lead to spillage and overflow. This might initiate hard feeling in the neighbourhood. If ordered from the right company, they will fix the artificial lawn with ease. We might also add a few natural herbal plants in pots and create a beautiful colourful garden.
Is it safe to use Artificial Lawns?
The lawn though synthetically made is manufactured with least amount of chemicals to reduce the impact in the environment. The lawn will come with a user manual of do's and don'ts to prevent any hazardous activities. The consumers should read it carefully before and after installations.
What are you waiting for? Call an artificial lawn vendor today.

India Discipleship Network (IDN) was founded in 2011 to assist the efforts under way to expand the Kingdom of God in India and other parts of Asia. The primary mission of IDN is to provide discipleship training seminars in India, encourage and support disciple making in three ongoing "access ministries" currently under the oversight of the Patton Lane church of Christ in Tyler, TX.
Most of the monthly operational needs for all three projects are currently being provided by churches and individuals like you. IDN provides additional funding if there is a "shortfall" or some emergency special need not covered by the regular monthly support.
The school employs 16 teachers and 5 non-teaching staff plus 3 administrators.
The salary of 5 of the teachers is paid by the AP government.
The salary of the other 11 teachers, 5 staff and 3 administrators is provided from America.
The average salary of the 5 government paid teachers was between $500 and $600/mo.
The average salary of the 11 other teachers was between $80 and $100/mo.
The teachers were all doing an excellent job even under such disparity.
We discussed the needs of the teachers with Jacob and the TPG Christian School Board for verification and their recommendation. They suggested a one-time gift to all the teachers and staff and a substantial increase in the salaries of the non-government paid (n-gp) teachers. Since IDN had already received a special unrestricted gift, it was determined to provide every n-gp employee a "bonus" equal to one month of their current salary as a token of appreciation. We also were able to essentially double the salaries of the n-gp teachers and substantially increase the salaries of the non-teaching staff. A smaller increase was given to the 3 administrators. This commitment was for one year only (Sept. 2012-Sept. 2013) since the special gift was not expected to be ongoing. However, other unrestricted gifts were made during 2013 making it possible to extend the increase through 2013.
During the 2013 India trip we again interviewed the teachers, Jacob and the Board about the teacher's needs and salaries. Even though the doubling of their salaries in 2013 was a true blessing, they were still significantly short of what they needed to maintain their families. And they were still receiving less than half of the salaries of the government paid teachers.
Based on this information we asked the Board and Jacob to make a recommendation for additional increases beginning January 2014. After a review of each of the employees and their job description, they made individual salary increase recommendations. The result was that the n-gp teachers would receive an average of 44% increase in their salary and the non-teaching staff and administrators would receive a 14% increase. The IDN Board of Directors reviewed and approved this plan committing to raise the necessary funds to implement it. If sufficient funds are not raised, the "shortfall" will be provided from the IDN general fund.
We simply believe the dedicated teachers at TPG School deserve a living wage after many years of sacrifice. The increased morale and level of commitment is easily observable on campus. We also believe, and the teachers certainly believe, that God is providing for them. They are living examples of the providence of God and often express their gratitude to others.
The TPG Christian School is a ministry dedicated to the spread of the gospel in India through the process of teaching children and families the truth of the Bible. Evidence over the past 22 years seems to bear that out. We are encouraged by the attitude we see in the Board of TPG Christian School. They have committed to accept more of the financial responsibilities along with the vision and planning for the future. This School, and the evangelism it provides, must become a self-supported INDIAN entity. They want that and we believe God is guiding that effort. In the meantime, thank you for your support and encouragement for this work.
The girls at Bethany continue to do well and respond to the loving care of Prem and Kumari. Some unexpected temporary funding has come to Bethany and Prem is not required to raise additional operational funds each month. We are pleased with this new source, but recognize that it is only temporary. We are in the process of developing a new opportunity for supporting one or more of the girls monthly. That will relieve some of the financial burden they have been feeling. Watch for an announcement soon about that new program.
The Brookshire Memorial Children's Home continues to function with the support of individuals and churches in the Tyler area. The contributions of IDN to help complete the building, was a great help and they are now in the new facility. The church that meets there is also growing and having a good influence in the community.
The semi-annual IDN Benefit Sale provides funds for the IDN general Fund to be able to provide needed support for operational needs as well as special needs as they arise. The Spring 2014 Benefit Sale is being planned and will be announced soon.
Thank you for your continued support of the work God is doing in India. We appreciate you.
IDN is a 501(c)3 organization. Your donation goes directly to supporting the efforts to expand the Kingdom in India.


Drew Piticco, student conduct administrator at Wilfrid Laurier University, received only four student conduct infractions following the On Campus Celebration last week — the lowest amount of incidents in recent years.
ERT coordinator Jordan Brazeau said ERT responded to only three calls, none of which were extreme.
"These first-years seemed really good this year," Brazeau said.
"At the end of the day, we don't want people to get hurt. We don't want anybody to need us," he continued.
As for the rest of the week, calls to ERT were lower than normal, dealing with minor incidents such as drunk-related injuries, panic attacks, general sickness and random injuries.
"I think alcohol injuries were the lowest that I've seen," Brazeau said.
Both Piticco and Brazeau said that working with SCS manager Tammy Lee and her team made for a stronger presence and response to concerns throughout Orientation Week.
According to Piticco the relationship between SCS and the dean of students office is stronger than it has been in the past.
"There's been a lot of work over the summer to increase the communication lines between the dean of students office, Special Constable Service, Residence Life, that I think it has really paid off," he explained.
Brazeau said Lee made a "huge effort, especially in OCC" to make SCS a strong, supportive presence. Lee went to all of the colour team meetings before dinner on Tuesday and spoke about safety measures.
According to Brazeau, nine special constable officers were on duty that night and each constable had a WRPS officer with them.
Statistics supplied by WRPS showed that the most common infraction to citizens was open liquor, with 48 incidences. WRPS recorded seven public intoxication infractions and three underage consumption of alcohol infringements. There were also seven public urination violations.
Piticco stressed that O-Week is supposed to be a safe and fun experience for students, and the lines of communication between all parties was a major part of O-Week running with fewer incidents.
Brazeau concluded by explaining that ERT, SCS and WRPS are not trying to ruin the O-Week experience.

Welcome to the Basket Brawlers Fantasy Basketball Four-Cast! For the week of March 16th to 22nd (Saturday-Friday), we have the disco two – Rajan Sharma and Adam Johal giving you your fantasy basketball insights for week 2 of the fantasy basketball playoffs.
James Harden, Houston Rockets
61Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Ast, 3 Stl, 19/34 Fg, 9/13 3PM, 14/17 Fts
03/22/2019 vs SAS
It was a career high tying night for The Beard who may have solidified his case for back-to-back MVP Awards after his game on Friday night vs the Spurs. His coach Mike D'Antoni may not be lying when he said the only man who can stop James Harden is the coach himself…. by benching him. Aside from that, Harden is as close to unguardable as there is in this league.
Johals's Pick:
JaVale McGee, Los Angles Lakers
33Pts, 20 Reb, 6 Blk, 1 Stl, 15/20 Fg
03/22/2019 vs BKN
With the Lakers on the brink of elimination, JaVale came out with his best performance of the season. But as you probably expected, the Lakers still lost and are officially toast for the 2018-2019 season.
Taurean Prince, Atlanta Hawks
15.3 Pts, 2.3 Ast, 3.3 Reb, 1.3 Stl, 3.0 3PM in the last 7 days
After spending much of the year on the IR, Prince finally appears to be healthy and producing the kind of stats owners were expecting when he was drafted in the top 80 this season. Look for him to close out the year strong for this red-hot Atlanta Hawks team
Emmanuel Mudiay, New York Knicks
17.8 Pts, 5 Ast, 2.8 Reb, 0.5 Blk, 1.5 3PM in the last 7 days
While the Knicks appear content with "Not Try'in for Zion", Mudiay has been able to put up some impressive numbers of late, putting up 18 pts and 5 assists on 46% shooting over the last week.
Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers
With the Cavs firmly out of the playoff race, look for them to start reducing the workload off some of their vets down the stretch. Love has been playing great basketball of late, which doesnt bode well for the "Stop tryin for Zion" supporters in The Land
Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat
Bam has been on a tear of late, but as is with all Miami players, he will always be at risk of falling out of the rotation (see: Kelly Olynk).
Jabari Parker, Washington Wizards
This might seem crazy based on the numbers he has out up lately, but hear me out. His minutes have been cut by almost 12 per game over the last 2 contests as Washington has been said to be going with a Portis/Thomas Bryant frontcourt for the last 10 or so games, meaning Jabari will be riding a lot of pine. Dont say I didn't warn you!
Hassan Whiteside, Miami Heat
Speaking of Heat rotations, Hassan Whiteside has moved to Miami's bench, and it appears to be hitting the big man's numbers hard, as he played just 5 minutes in games against the Wizards and Thunder this past week. While he can still be a sources for blocks, move off of him if there is someone better on your wire.

February 9, 2019 by Dray
Hello ball fans and welcome to the February 2nd – 9th Four-Cast! Today you have Steve P., Steve G., and Dray bringing you your four picks to help tune in your fantasy games.
Steve G.'s Pick:
43 Pts, 12 Reb, 5 Ast, 6 Stl, 4 Blk 12/22 Fg, 15/15 Ft, 4 threes
02/02/2019 vs. Utah
It doesn't come as a surprise when Harden eclipses 30, 40 or even 50 points these days, but when you do that and add in 1st team all defensive numbers that's just ridiculous! If you consider 3 pointers made as a stat category, Harden was 1 block and 1 three shy of a 6 x 5 line on this night. Make sure you tune in next week for another segment of the "James Harden Fantasy Line of the Week".
Dray's Pick:
37 Pts, 13 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blk, 14/15 FT, 10/20 Fg, 3 threes
02/05/2019 vs TOR
He's a mouthpiece and backs it up with games like this. The effort may have come in a lost but I'll be damned if getting 14/15 FT and 3 3PM with the typical high rebound and block output from a big man doesn't make you smile.
Steve P.'s Pick:
Myles Turner
17 Pts, 4 Stl, 6 Blk, 3 threes, 7/8Fg
02/07/2019 vs LAC
Harden had another potential line of the year, but for sake of intrigue I feel it's important to mention Myles Turner's 10 stock line with 3's and amazing %'s to boot. Stellar work boy.
Once again, the NBA trade deadline has caused a state of chaos in the fantasy basketball world. With super teams being created all over the league, many player's fantasy value spontaneously plummet or skyrocket due to these deals. One good thing about the NBA trade deadline is that it usually creates diamonds in the rough which can be found in the fallout of these deals. Tyler Johnson is a prime example of this. With Phoenix having very few reliable backcourt players other than Devin Booker, Johnson should be able to carve out a larger role than he had in Miami which will allow him to hold value in competitive 12 team leagues for the rest of the season.
Mitchell Robinson, New York Knicks
More trade deadline chaos here, although I would like to make a note that Robinson was coming on beforehand. Robinson is averaging 2.5 Blks over the last 7 days, and now with Deandre Jordan to learn from I think we'll see the other facets of his game explode. The Knicks are obviously the bottom of the barrel and have a lot of motivation to develop their young guys, so go get this guy while you can.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (LA Clippers)
The world is about to be Gorgeous-Alexander's playground. The Clippers clearly showed their intention to groom their young core with the deadline moves they made, and SGA has a pretty clear path to 28+ minutes per night. When he plays 28 minutes per night – which has happened 22 times – he averages 14-4-4 with 1.5 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 threes. That smells like top 75 value the rest of the way to me.
Josh Jackson has shown flashes of fantasy stud potential in the past, and this time is no different. Just a fleeting moment of brilliance before Devin Booker and T.J. Warren come back from injury and nose dive his usage and minutes. See if you can swing a deal that nets you a steady top 50 player while Jackson is briefly playing like one.
Well, he was here last week and he's here again. Now that we know he's not moving, the Pelicans will be playing him the league-assigned minimum of 25 minutes, not including the inevitable injury times. Dump this asset while he still holds value, unlike the Pelicans.
Lauri Markkanen, Chicago Bulls
In 8-cat he is the 12th best player over the last week, averaging 30pts and 12 rpg with 3+ threes. He's really, really, really good, but this level of production is not sustainable over the long run. Add in OPJ, and a weak 3-3-3 playoff schedule, and he makes for a perfect sell high if you can flip him for a consistent Top 35 player.
The moment Oladipo went down with his knee injury most normal people gasped and began tweeting prayers and well wishes to him. Fantasy basketball fanatics on the other hand, immediately rushed to the waiver wire to grab Tyreke Evans. Since moving into the starting lineup Evans has managed to get injured once, average 6.6 ppg and lose a large majority of his minutes to Corey Joseph. If those aren't good enough reasons to drop him, I will add one more; the Pacers are the front runners to sign Wesley Matthews.
Bullock was looking good this year on a Piston's team in need of someone at the wing spot, but now that he's been shipped off to LA he'll be buried in the depth charts. To be fair he won't play his first game till tomorrow (Sunday, February 10th), but I don't like the way it's looking with Ingram, KCP, LeBron, and Hart. Drop him if he doesn't perform.
Marvin Bagley, Sacramento Kings
It looked like he was lined up for a strong end to the season, armed with ample playing time and a 4-4-4 playoff schedule. Then the Kings' Kangzed and disrupted their beautiful chemistry by trading for Harry Barnes? He looks to take significant minutes away from Bagley so the dream of the rookie carrying squads in the playoffs is shattered. Buh. Bye. Bagley.
That's all we have for this week fantasy fans! Tune in for our power rankings coming up Monday.

NBA Power Rankings – Week 12
BasketBrawlers NBA Power Rankings is officially back for the New Year! We will be working even harder to provide you with the content and unique insights that you need from the NBA world. With Adam Kroon, the usual editor of this segment tied up with other commitments, this weeks segment is brought to you by the Give N'Go Podcast's own: Rajan Sharma
Much has changed in the NBA landscape since the turn of the new year. The Grizzlies, who had started out red hot at the beginning of the season are starting to show their age. The Rockets have been fuelled by the MVP Calibre Heroics of James Harden, and Spurs have quietly been surging behind an inspiring performance on the night of Kawhi's return to San Antonio. With that said, lets get to it! W
1. DENVER NUGGETS (26-11)
Last Weeks Ranking: 3 (+2)
Last Weeks Record: 3-0
Offensive Rating: 111.9 (7th)
Defensive Rating: 106.4 (9th)
Net Rating: +5.4 (5th)
The Nuggets took care of business against some teams fighting hard for a playoff spot with games against the Knicks, Kings, and Hornets respectively. The Nuggets continue their surprisingly successful campaign and have survived their injury plagued season so-far. With Paul Millsap and Gary Harris returning to action this week the Nuggets are finally starting to get healthy – which should be a scary thought for the rest of the NBA.
2. TORONTO RAPTORS (30-12)
Last Weeks Ranking: 1 (-1)
Defensive Rating: 107.3 (10th)
The Raptors have been busy this week! They started out with some hard fought victories against the Bulls and Jazz (a game in which Kawhi Leonard dropped a career high 45 points against the Utah Jazz defense) before they went in the San Antonio and got absolutely decimated by the Spurs, who were led by DeMar DeRozan's revenge triple-double – the first of his career.
However, the Raptors managed to save face by defeating the other 2 teams fighting for the top spot in the east to end the week. The Raptors took a page out of Drizzy Drake's playbook and beat the Bucks and the Pacers back-to-back. Going back-to-back! With Kyle Lowry returning to the lineup after being out for 6 days, we may actually see the Raptors two stars play in the same game for the first time early December this upcoming week!
3. SAN ANTONIO SPURS (23-17)
Last Weeks Ranking: Not Ranked (+13)
Don't look now, but the Spurs are once again flying under the radar in to the playoff picture! The Spurs have rattled off 4 straight victories over the Clippers, Celtics, Grizzlies, and capped off by a routing of the Toronto Raptors after DeMar DeRozan racked up the first triple-double of his career against his former team. The Spurs are finally starting to get healthy after their wing depth was decimated by injuries to start the season and the results are showing in the win column. The Spurs play the Thunder twice next week, giving them a real shot of moving in to the top 4 of the Western Conference. Let's see if old reliable can keep the NBA's longest winning streak rolling!
4. MILWAUKEE BUCKS (27-11)
Last Weeks Ranking: 4 (-)
Offensive Rating: 113.5 (2nd)
Defensive Rating: 104.3 (3rd)
Net Rating: +9.2 (1st)
The Bucks are the only team in the top 3 of both offensive and defensive efficiency in the entire league. They came up just short in a marquee match-up against the Raptors on Saturday night, but they have still been dominant thus far. The Bucks have won 8 of their last 10 games, and if Brook Lopez can continue his Harden impersonation – hitting step back 3's with 16 on the shot clock on the regular – the Bucks will be a tough match-up for any team come playoff time. Despite the hot start, lets see how the Bucks close out this season, as they will now play 21 of the next 30 games on the road.
5. HOUSTON ROCKETS (22-16)
Net Rating: +1.3 (13th)
The re-emergence of MVP Harden has been an absolute treat to watch for NBA fans across the globe. James Harden is averaging over 40 points per game over the last 12 games, including an absolute thriller against the defending champion Golden State Warriors in which The Beard dropped another 44-point triple double and a game winning 3-pointer over Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.
An interesting point to note though, is that this sudden improvement of play by the Rockets also lines up with Chris Paul being removed from the lineup. Could this just be a coincidence? Tune in to the Give N'Go Podcast's episode 12 which discusses this in detail in last week's pod: http://basketbrawlers.ca/give-n-go/
6. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (23-17)
Last Weeks Ranking: 13 (+7)
Defensive Rating: 110.4 (21st)
The Blazers sole loss last week was by 2 points in a thriller against the rival OKC thunder. Besides the one blemish, the Blazers were able to rattle off impressive wins against the Sixers, Kings, and the blazing hot Houston Rockets. All the off-season talk about whether or not Lillard and McCollum can co-exist as your 2 best players has quieted down now with the emergence of their bench, and their young Bosnian Center Jusuf Nurkic, who became the first player in NBA History to record a rare 5×5 game (at least 5 points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks in the same game) while also recording at least 20 points and 20 rebounds. The 23-year old big man finished the game against the Kings with 24 points, 23 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks. Wow.
7. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (26-14)
Offensive Rating: 113.6 (1st)
The Warriors were one blown call by the refs and a James Harden step-back 3 away from a perfect week. Despite all of their recent struggles, the Warriors still hold on to the 2-seed in the Western conference, and sit only 1 game back of the top spot. If you are a Warriors fan, I think you take this result all day given the struggles of the Warriors supporting cast this season. We are yet to see Boogie make his debut with the team, but it seems like they need another boost to get them back to their championship aspirations after going 8-5 over their last 13 games.
8. INDIANA PACERS (26-13)
Offensive Rating: 108.7 (16th)
Defensive Rating: 102.9 (2nd)
Net Rating: +5.8 (3rd)
The Pacers fell short on Sunday night against a Kawhi-less Raptors squad, but they still hang on to the number 3-seed in the Eastern Conference and the 2nd best defensive rating in the League. The Pacers will face off against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, which should be a nice test for a team looking to establish themselves amongst the elite in the NBA.
9. PHILADELPHIA 76ers (26-14)
Despite all the drama that seems to surround the Sixers at every turn of the way – the latest being Jimmy Butler suddenly unhappy with his new role on the team – the Sixers continue to rattle off victories. The Sixers will have a pretty pedestrian week next week, as they have games against the Wizards (twice), Hawks, and the lowly Knicks. If they can sort out all their internal dramas, they could be next in line to join Toronto in the 30-win club by the time we roll out these Power Rankings next week.

10. Oklahoma City Thunder (25-14)
Offensive Rating: 107.4 (21st)
Defensive Rating: 101.7 (1st)
Seems like the Thunder can never quite get it right…they followed up impressive wins over the Mavs, Lakers, and Blazers with an absolute DUD against the Washington Wizards. Scott Brooks got his revenge game against his former squad, and despite Russell Westbrook having another triple-double, he did his squad no favours with his 8 turnovers in the game and 9/23 shooting from the field. But alas, that is the fate of the OKC Thunder until they realize that maybe running more of the offence through PG-13 instead of Westbrook may be the solution to their problems. The dynamic duo of Westbrook and Paul George are currently sitting at a usage rate of 31.3 and 29.6 respectively.
Well there you have it! Let me know what you think about the power rankings in the comments below, or on twitter page (link is below):

A Belkis Ayon Retrospective: Sikan in Europe
27 / noviembre / 2021
por Glenda Boza Ibarra
Glenda Boza Ibarra
Mystery enshrouds Belkis Ayon Manso's death (Havana, 1967-1999); the same mystery that can be seen in her work, full of fascinating paradoxes: incomplete yet expressive faces, missing mouths that don't keep quiet, art made by a woman about a secret world that only accepts men, a religious and magical world recreated within the view of an atheist spectator.
Nobody knows why this painter locked herself in the bathroom on that fateful day in 1999 and shot herself in the head. Nobody knows why she did it. But her engravings do.
Her last works were perhaps a premonition of her suicide: "darker and more dramatic, space is reduced to circles with a single face in the foreground that introduces the spectator into a universe of intense internal conflict and profound existential anguish," reads the press release for the exhibition "Collagraphs, Belkis Ayon", inaugurated at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, on November 17th.
The exhibition includes 80 large format pieces, out of which 50 are collagraphs (almost all of which are unpublished), created between 1986 and 1999. Some of them have been displayed in the US, at the El Museo del Barrio in New York (2017), the Fowler Museum at UCLA in Los Angeles (2017) and the Station Museum of Contemporary Art in Houston (2018).
They arrived in Europe for the first time thanks to the Belkis Ayon Estate Foundation, headed by her nieces, who inherited the protection of this family and national heritage from their mother, Katia Ayon Manso (who passed in 2019).
It is also the first time that a Cuban woman's work is being displayed at the Reina Sofia Museum, and the second time a retrospective of an artist from the island is being held, after the retrospective dedicated to Wilfredo Lam in 2016.
"The exhibition approaches the artist's work from her first visual investigations about the secret Afro-Cuban society Abakuá, imagery that has accompanied her since the presentation of her dissertation at Havana's San Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts in 1988; moving towards her black and white engravings in the 1990s, as a more appropriate medium for expressing the existential drama that is seen in her work; to her large format pieces that are marked by their scenography where you travel through a complex visual and symbolic universe that syncretizes Abakuá mythology and rituals with the main iconographic elements of Catholicism," the press release reads.
The exhibition has been curated by Cristina Vives, from the Estudio Figuero Vives, who was also a close friend of the artist and preferred to remember Ayon as a "civic Cuban woman" who "would have continued to work and navigate hardship" if she were still alive today.
Ayon's work centers around imagery of the Abakua, a secret male society that fascinated this woman from Havana, who graduated from the University of Arts of Cuba (ISA). Her first work on the subject dates to 1985. Ayon dedicated special attention to princess Sikán, the only woman in Abakuá lore, who was sacrificed by men.
"Sikán's prominence and the similarity between her features and that of the artist reveal a high degree of identification, as if Ayon embodies the analogous existential complexity and fate of her character," the author's presentation reads. She painted a series of circular pieces with irregular shapes for the last exhibition before her death. They are believed to mark a point of synthesis in her career, where the allegorical stories from the mythology about Sikán become autobiographical, influenced by the artist's own experiences: "they reflect both Ayon and Sikan."
She is the only internationally renowned artist up until this day with a complete series of work dedicated to this secretive religious society, which has over 30,000 followers today. Plus, as Manuel Borja Villel, director at the Reina Sofia Museum says, "Ayon has left a series of work behind that occupy an important place within the history of Cuban and international contemporary engraving."
"Belkis' pieces portray different abakuá ceremonies, with a feminist spirit (…). In La cena (the dinner), Sikán is sitting in the middle of the table, imitating a painting of the last dinner of Christ (…). Belkis became a reference and master of her technique," the Mujeres Bacanas website reads.
Ayon only lived 32 years on this Earth, but she reached full artistic maturity. In her work she also depicted, in addition to the mysteries of a religion that she was banned from, "pressing issues in the 1990s: censorship, violence, intolerance, exclusion, inequality, the mechanisms of control and power structures."
Her work is disturbing. It can stir intrigue, sadness, fear. It is also complex because of her use of collagraphy, an unusual engraving technique based on molds built like collages, which Ayon chose to do while her colleagues focused on installation art.
"The almost 200 series of ghost-like silhouettes she left when she died are being kept in a hostile climate like the Caribbean, in tailored cedarwood boxes and full of mothballs to absorb the humidity," El Pais newspaper published in a review. "The successive exhibitions held in the US in recent years has multiplied interest in her work and the Reina Sofia is even hoping for some pieces to become a part of its permanent collection."
Belkis Ayon's art overwhelms you. Her figures seem to want to find something inside those who look at them, as if the painter is transcending death through their eyes, just like princess Sikan.
*Reina Sofia Museum from November 12th until April 18th 2022. Sabatini Building, 3rd floor. Price: General entry costs 10 euros. Free admission: Monday to Saturday (closed Tuesdays): from 18:00 to 20:00 Sundays: from 13:30 to 14:30.

What we are looking for in this book?
Global stalemates, groans of victims of aggressions, wars, crimes and increasingly cutting ties of family relations are all true evidences of one reality, that current rules of world, despite all attempts apparently made for their reform, improvement and enforcement, not only have been ineffective in granting an ideal life to men, but also have killed this hope for the future.
We don't know how long we shall try these worn principles. They cannot even support their own custodians, what about the others?
These rules are like deep wells, which sometimes reach massive underground stone pieces, and the more we try to pierce into these stones and progress inside them, the more we exhaust ourselves, and finally there is no trace of water.
So we shall look where the fault is, recognize it, contemplate, and think about the solution.
First, we find that such regulations resemble the drugs which are only for external use and their effect is completely superficial. They have neither succeeded to penetrate into the depth of human conscience, which is the inspiration of his attempts, endeavors, and movements, nor to mobilize his powers in a bid to eradicate the roots of pain.
For example, which law can revive human intellect and affection of those riches that have made testament for allocation of their wealth to their cats and have provided the facilities for establishment of a village for millionaire cats, and invite them to support millions of African hungry men? Which law can restore the sense of philanthropy in those who wear precious diamond pieces, and several millions value stamp albums are one of the little decorations of their drawing rooms, and invite them to save the life of millions of leprous, cancerous and tuberculosis patients?
Which law can manage obstinate and destructive instincts, and control man's feelings and utilize his great industrial powers for urbanization and reclamation of the countries?
Is any law able to penetrate into the territory of their spirit and soul, and cause these changes? It goes without saying that there is not such law among the existing ones.
It is here that the necessity of training and development of another principle called "ethic" is clarified. The principle which passes any obstacle just like the powerful waves of gravity and even passes through vacuum and accedes to the interior of man's soul, alters him, and creates a new person which is excellent and heavenly and in the real sense, humanistic attributes.
The man who sympathizes in grief and distress of others.
The man who considers his own and others' interests the same.
The man who never seeks relief in discomfort of others.
And finally, a man whose wide horizon of thought causes him to be relieved from disturbances, offences, intolerance and vindictiveness, and forms a real unity along with his fellowmen, in which there is welfare and blessing.
Yes, these principles, which are called "ethic", should be revived, and present book is written for this purpose and has originated from Islamic rich and powerful resources.

Google Not Serious About Online Gaming? This Job Offer Suggests Otherwise
Remember back in July last year when we reported that Google quietly invested $100 million in Zynga in preparation for a new product dubbed Google Games?
They even recruited gaming industry vet Mark DeLoura (formerly of Ubisoft, Sony Computer Entertainment America, Nintendo and others) as developer advocate for game-related products, though he quit after only 4 months on the job (he's now a VP at THQ).
Google later also acquired Slide, which develops social games, while its investment arm Google Ventures backed gaming companies like ngmoco and SCVNGR.
This morning, a job offer surfaced on Google's LinkedIn profile that suggests the search and online advertising juggernaut is ramping up its stake in the digital games ground. Colleague Leena Rao noticed a Google games-related job post back in May of last year, so it seems that recruiting continues.
(Thanks to the anonymous tipster who sent this in).
According to the job offer, pasted in full below, Google is looking for a Product Manager to "grow its brand-new business – Games at Google!". It was posted earlier today.
Based in Mountain View, this person will be responsible for designing "strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more".
The company notably writes in the job description that the new Google Games product manager will be "significantly influencing Google's social platform", which means he or she will likely end up reporting to Vic Gundotra (SVP of Social).
We'll also note that Google co-founder Larry Page just took up the role of CEO (again) earlier this month, so there's always the possibility that Page is responsible for the company to reinvigorate its online gaming efforts.
Either way, anyone still in doubt that Google is definitely preparing a big move into online games land – Eric Schmidt, perhaps? – better reconsider.
Product Manager, Games – Mountain View
Google – California , Mountain View (Global HQ) (United States)
This position is based in Mountain View, CA.
The area: Product Management
One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. With eyes focused squarely on the future, our team works closely with creative and prolific engineers to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting and tailoring our solutions to all the markets where Google does business.
The role: Product Manager, Games
Rare opportunity to grow a brand-new business – Games at Google! We are looking for a strategic, technical and game-loving Product Manager to drive Google's gaming strategy. You will design strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more. In addition to designing a great user experience and building out key partnerships, you will be significantly influencing Google's social platform as you work directly with a critical set of early adopters, game developers. Interesting and impactful decisions involving social gaming, privacy, virality, business, and technical APIs await you and the strong, passionate team of gamers you will work with.
•	Drive feature requirements for Google''s gaming platform
•	Work with business development and developer relations to drive gaming partnerships/ content deals
•	Initiate and prioritize projects within engineering, assist in determining the best technical implementation methods, track product development, and develop product launch plans.
•	Establish partnerships internally and externally to drive the growth of games
•	Technical undergraduate degree or equivalent experience; Masters degree preferred.
•	Product management experience with a track record of creating innovative and winning Internet or software solutions.
•	Entrepreneurial experience and a penchant for creating great products is highly valued.
•	Demonstrated ability to gather user requirements and convert them into a winning product vision.
•	Strong quantitative and analytical abilities with a deep understanding of gaming platforms

Eric Clapton's 1963/65 Gibson Reverse Firebird 1
Clapton purchased this Gibson Firebird most likely on the afternoon of April 13th, 1968, on the second day of the three-day gig at the Philadelphia's Electric Factory. This is based on two things. First, the Cream concert tour expense ledger used by the band's tour manager Bob Adcock reads "Musical equipment" – $905.50″ on April 13th [Cream 1968 Summer and "Farewell" Tours Original Signed Expense Ledger].
Please note that depending on the source, you'll find info that the Electric Factory was played either from 12th to 14th or from 19th to 21st. However, based on the actual promo poster, April 12th 1968, is the correct date for the first day of the gig. [Electric Factory 1968 Cream Concert Poster]
Second, according to people who have been at the gig, on the first day on April 12th, Eric played his Gibson SG "The Fool". Based on the photos, the Firebird was used on the second and/or the third day. [On the Road to Dreams 1968 – AngelFire]
Connecting these two things, it would seem that the 'musical equipment' expense was most likely Eric buying himself the Gibson Firebird and that he used it that same day at Philadelphia's Electric Factory. The only thing that we have no idea of confirming at this time is whether he bought it at a store called 8th Street Music (one of the former salesmen was personally interviewed on the phone by one of our contributors, claiming Clapton bought it here), or at the Music City store on Chestnut Street (seems to be what most people think is true). If you happen to have any info that would conclusively confirm one of these possibilities, please be sure to leave a comment below.
Be that as it may, this guitar subsequently appeared on the Cream farewell tour in late 1968, and served as a direct replacement of The Fool SG – which by that time lost a good amount of its custom paint job due to extensive use.
(In relation to the Cream era:) The 335 was a big favorite and that particular Firebird, I had some great times on that; the single pickup produced a fantastic sound. [Classic Interview: Eric Clapton, June 1994]
As noted by Clapton, the Firebird that he used in the Cream era was equipped with a single mini-humbucker pickup in the bridge position. The guitar obviously had no pickup switch, only had two knobs (volume and tone), and was equipped with a wraparound tailpiece. This is also the first Gibson solid-body to feature a neck-through-body construction, with the neck itself being made up of five pieces of mahogany with four narrow strips of walnut mingled between them for more strength.
Firebird with the Blind Faith
The guitar popped in occasionally during Blind Faith era, although photographic evidence is scarce so it's hard to tell to which extent it was used during this period. Most of the photos seem to originate from the North American Tour, although there were occasional sightings of the guitar originating from the Scandinavian Tour as well. For instance, the recently released Blind Faith tape "The Undertaker" recorded in Göteborg, Sweden on June 18th, 1969, shows Clapton holding the Firebird meaning that the guitar was likely used on both tours.
Karin Märs
Very informative!!
A high school friend of mine sold him the guitar at Music City on Chestnut St.
I always thought that the reason he bought the guitar was that his other guitar was stolen while in Philly.
It is hard to believe that the guitar cost $900 however
GroundGuitar Dan
Hi Ray. Is the friend still around? Perhaps he would like to say a thing or two about the sale.
Yeah, since the ledger reads "Musical equipment" I suspect this included other stuff like amps and equipment for other members. $905 is way too much for the Firebird alone, I agree.
I always thought that he got great sound out of those Gibsons!!! My favourite stuff with Cream was with Eric (likely) playing that Firebird and "The Fool" SG.

1964 Gibson ES-335TDC
According to Eric, he acquired this guitar sometime in 1964. However, according to the photographic evidence, and based on the info from Eric himself, the guitar wasn't used almost at all (more on this later) during the Yardbirds era, even though – as said, Clapton claimed that he did own the guitar as early as 1964. Date of Purchase Theories The first theory is largely based on Eric's claim that he […]
1964 Gibson SG Standard "The Fool"
Clapton acquired this guitar presumably sometime in 1967, likely purchasing it himself. It first appeared at Cream's debut US concert on March 25th, 1967 at the RKO theater on 58th Street, Manhattan, New York. By that time the guitar already featured the custom body paint done by Simon Posthuma and Marijke Koger, who later went on to form a design collective called The Fool. They had also painted John Lennon's Rolls-Royce in lurid psychedelic […]
1956 Fender Stratocaster "Brownie"
Clapton purchased the maple neck Stratocaster at London's Sound City on May 7, 1967 [Eric Clapton"Brownie" Tribute Stratocaster, Fender Custom Shop]. At that time, Eric was using the Fool SG practically exclusively, and the Strat itself didn't see much stage-light until around three years later, although its neck had a history of its own on another guitar prior to that. One the page regarding the 1962 Fender Telecaster/Stratocaster Custom, we've mentioned […]
1960s Kay Jazz II
Eric used this guitar prior to joining the Yardbirds circa 1962, while he was playing in his first band called "The Rooster". The guitar was purchased from Bells in Surbiton, and according to Eric, he bought it with little help from his grandmother. The Kay was the guitar that my grandmother bought me on the "hire-purchase" scheme. That got me into the band, and then we started making money, I found […]
1950s Fender Stratocaster "Blackie"
Eric assembled this guitar in 1970 using parts from four different 1950s Stratocasters that he bought from George Gruhn, and from additional parts that were purchased at the Sho-Bud guitar shop in Nashville. Eric Clapton first visited my shop in 1970 when Derek & the Dominos performed on The Johnny Cash Show. He assembled his famous "Blackie" Stratocaster using components from the four Stratocasters he bought from me and parts […]
1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Beano Burst"
Eric used this guitar during the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers era, although it is likely not the only Les Paul he owned at that time. In his autobiography [Clapton: The Autobiography] Eric mentions buying a couple of guitars prior heading to Greece in 1966 and leaving one Les Paul behind after he bailed out and left the Juniors (a Greek band he had a short stint with). This could possibly mean that the […]
1962 Fender Telecaster/Stratocaster Custom
This guitar first appeared in the late Cream days, more precisely during the band's guest appearance on the Danish movie "Det var en lørdag aften" (It Was a Saturday Evening), filmed on February 5th and 6th, 1968 in Copenhagen. At this time the Telecaster was fitted with a late 60s Stratocaster neck with rosewood fretboard and a large headstock. Most of the people, however, associate this guitar with the Blind Faith […]
1959/60 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Summers Burst"
This is the guitar that Eric used as his main with the Cream from around July 1966 to mid-1967. He purchased this guitar from Andy Summers (who later went on the form The Police) after his own Les Paul was stolen sometime in mid-1966. The two guitars were originally purchased from the same store, Summers being the first of the two to buy one. About the time that we share […]
This was Eric's main recording and gigging guitar during the Yardbirds era. The guitar allegedly belonged to the Yardbirds management, and after Eric had left the band, Jeff Beck who took over his role, played the same guitar for some time prior to acquiring a Fender Esquire (more on Jeff Beck's Gear Page). (Jeff Beck:) We were on the road constantly and I didn't even have my own guitar. I [initially] used Eric's red […]
1957 Gibson Les Paul "Lucy"
Clapton purchased this guitar at Dan Amstrong's Guitar shop in New York at an unknown date. The previous owner, Rick Derringer, had sold the guitar to the shop sometime in 1966 or 1967 (no credible source mentions any dates related to this), after he had it repainted in Gibson's Kalamazoo factory (no dates mentioned either) [Million Dollar Les Paul, Tony Bacon, pp. 66–68.] Lucy with Eric Eric himself seems to […]

Future Hall of Famer siblings left shocked by nomination
Last year, teenagers Csenge (Chen-ga) and Blanka Lodi received an unusual phone call.
It was the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame on the other line. Perplexed and confused after picking up the line, it was all for a surprising reason that left both sisters gobsmacked.
"When we heard, me and Blanka just looked at each other like 'What?' We didn't realize what we were doing," Csenge and Blanka told The Auroran.
"We didn't realize it was a thing. It was a shock. Our teachers Mr. Dajia, one of our track coaches at school, he was the connection. We were introduced to the Future Hall of Famers program and then I guess we were nominated. We were just in shock. I didn't even know we got nominated."
The Future Hall of Famers program recognizes up-and-coming local athletes who might one day find themselves in the Hall.
Both girls currently excel in track and field. Csenge graduated at Cardinal Carter as MVP of the track team last year, and received a USport scholarship to the University of Guelph. Blanka is still in high school and is currently aiming to receive a scholarship to the exact same school.
Bonded by track and field throughout their entire life, it is quite a humorous anecdote as to how these girls initially began in the sport.
Born to Hungarian parents, their father was a pro rower and their mother was formally a hurdler. With sport simply ingrained in their DNA, the Lodis were thrown into all kinds of team sports and simply stumbled on track and field.
"When we were younger, our mom randomly signed us up for a track team. Then we tried it and then after I didn't want to do it at all. It was so hard and I hated it and my mom was like 'you're going to go,'" the sisters recalled, laughing at the memory.
"Me and my sister, it was a bit new for us. We played a lot of team sports whereas track and field is an independent sport. It was a little tough. We just had to get used to the training styles and the new environment. As the weeks kept going, we both kept showing up we just kind of both fell in love with it. It's part of us now."
In love with the grind since seven- and eight-years-old respectively, the Lodis joined the Flying Angels Track & Field Club and have been there ever since.
They have been molded by some of the finest coaches around and have found successes that have brought them both to new heights.
Both girls have travelled to the United States for track meets, coming up against unheralded competition. They have also been to Nova Scotia for a track meet, to compete for more medals to hang up in their closets.
Was there adversity? Absolutely. Was there hardship? Surely. Was there a sweet reward in knowing the girls were going to take this sport and go somewhere in it? You bet.
Csenge is currently studying kinetics and would like to become a physiotherapist someday whereas Blanka, is still undecided on what to do. But what both girls aspire to do one day is to become more involved in track and field with the local community and give back to the game. They also want to provide more awareness in the future with clinics to further expose the competition.
But now – humbled and honoured to even be a part of the Future Hall of Famers program with the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame – the goal and the direction could not be clearer. Go as far as track and field will take them, give more to the community, and become a part of the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame permanently.

Calling out cultural appropriation has been a growing trend within the past decade—it's time to figure out what it exactly means and what is legitimately considered offensive.
To make this easier, I will focus mostly on understanding cultural appropriation in context to the fashion industry.
Here's the definition published by the Oxford University Press:
A term used to describe the taking over of creative or artistic forms, themes, or practices by one cultural group from another. It is in general used to describe Western appropriations of non‐Western or non‐white forms, and carries connotations of exploitation and dominance.
Cultural appropriation is the by-product of being politically correct. Now, here's a definition of political correctness:
The avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.
In theory, both of these terms are positive principles for Western nations to abide by. No culture should be exploited or offensively portrayed.
Chanel's Boomerang, a Recent Example of Cultural Appropriation
Chanel recently re-introduced a boomerang into its sport accessories line and apparently people are offended by the way Chanel has included a boomerang in the line, because it's an appropriation of Australian aboriginal culture.
The Technicalities of Cultural Appropriation
Immigration and travel have made an impact in shaping a nation's ever-changing identity—naturally, a cultural exchanges will happen.
If we think about it, everything came from somewhere. I'll give a few examples.
Surfboards—Polynesia
Chai—India
Ikat print—Southeast Asia, South America, Middle East "and beyond" according to Apartment Therapy (basically everywhere except North America)
Indigo—Wikipedia says somewhere in Asia, but NPR says West Africa…?
Chopsticks—I hope I don't have to explain this, but here's a history of chopsticks in case you're interested.
Champagne—Another thing I really shouldn't have to explain
A bunch of other stuff white people like
Also, apparently braids are also culturally appropriated by white people, but I'm pretty sure every nation has incorporated braids in their own way for hundreds of years…
Identifying which acts of cultural appropriation deserve the "wag of the finger" is where it gets tricky.
An editorial that features a model posing in an authentic headdress from a Native American tribe—especially without giving any context or highlighting the culture—is not respectful.
… A college girl who wants to dress as Disney's Pocahontas for a Halloween party only deserves an eye-roll or a shrug. I highly doubt that Drunk Pocahontas is trying to assuage her Western dominance.
If these people want to be serious with abiding by cultural appropriation, they should be more politically correct about everything, not just about how we dress. For example, they shouldn't eat pasta, since that's cultural appropriation of Italy.
They shouldn't eat anything, really, unless it comes from their own ethnic background—and how backward of a suggestion is that in an interconnected, globalized world?
We live in an the age of globalization where everyone can be exposed to different cultures without even leaving their own home.
We engage in cultural appropriation everyday.
We need to be respectful of other cultures.
In a perfect world, if brands wanted to use elements from another nation's dress, they would seek permission or create thoughtful collections about other cultures. It would be cool to have a tasteful collection inspired by Native American tribal prints. Maybe not exact replicas.
As for the consumer, it's one thing to wear a piece of clothing that is inspired by Bollywood or a vintage kimono. It's another thing entirely to apply makeup to look like another ethnicity by brushing on brown paint or drawing hooded eyelids.
It's not to say that fashion hasn't had a number of culturally insensitive moments. There was the upside-down crucifix, the Star of David… If you spend some time on Google, you'll find what you need to know.
… But there's no need to crucify someone in a Disney costume.
Let's be real.
This entire dialogue about cultural appropriation is nonsense, because cultural appropriation is just an excuse for people not to examine more important issues happening in the world.
It would be cool if those same people crying out "cultural appropriation" cared more about what's happening in their own communities, their own countries, or even their own industries. The same people calling out others for cultural appropriation probably oppose reasonable immigration policies, but we won't talk about that today, so you can read this Salon article about the relationship between white, Western privilege and cultural appropriation.
If anything, instead of Chanel's boomerang, people should be more concerned about how the fashion industry pollutes the earth in every stage of its production or how unseen hands and hearts are abused in garment factories, but apparently that's not upsetting to these people who are too preoccupied with commenting "cultural appropriation" in ALL CAPS on Instagram.
Of all the things to be offended by, does it really matter if a luxury fashion house wants to put its logo on some overpriced sporting goods?

culture and fashion must go together in order for people to appreciate both 🙂 great post !
I can see where you're trying to go and it was an interesting read. But I think you're missing a piece of the puzzle. Cultural Assimilation. Minority groups whether talking about Asians, Native Americans, Black people etc and immigrant groups from certain parts of Europe have historically been scolded and shamed for their ways of dress, eating, and styling their hair.
So the issue isn't cultural exchange, which is unavoidable and helps cultures thrive and survive. But that the US, for example, has absorbed what were once hated groups of Europeans and their ways of fashion at the same time as it continues to ridicule Black people, Native Americans etc. when wearing certain hairstyles or clothing styles and praising those of European ancestry for adopting those very same styles. I.E. A White middle class American being seen as edgy for wearing cornrows and a Black middle class American being called ghetto for the same exact thing. Or a Japanese American woman wearing Kimono for a special occasion being seen as a stereotype but White and Black models on a runway in NY being avant-garde and edgy.


The Bradley Siderograph is one of the most valuable tools of stock market prediction in the field of financial astrology, and I'm excited you're here to learn more about it. This site provides a general overview of this stock market turning point indicator as well as advanced applications that go beyond the scope contemplated by Bradley's book.
In 1948 Donald Bradley wrote a book called "Stock Market Prediction: The Planetary Barometer and How to Use It." This book presented a tool known as the Donald Bradley Siderograph, which is intended to leverage "the potency of major planetary aspects…to prove the correspondence between planetary operations and market responses." The term "siderograph" means star graph. The ancients saw planets as "wandering stars," which is how they developed the predecessor word for "planet" in ancient Greek (i.e., "astēr planētēs").
The Bradley Siderograph is one of the most interesting and popular forecasting methodologies in the field of Financial Astrology. This field involves leveraging astronomical and astrological data to understand and forecast activity in the financial markets. However, Financial Astrology is far broader and richer than this methodology alone, and its origins date back several thousand years.
Donald Bradley's siderograph is based on major planetary aspects and the declinations of Mars and Venus. The siderograph assigns varying weights to each planetary aspect depending on its exactness. For example, if two planets are 90 degrees apart they will receive the full weight for a square aspect (i.e., an aspect of 90 degrees). The siderograph allocates a lower weight to aspects that are close but not exact (e.g., an aspect of 88 degrees, which is close to a square aspect but is not exact). Also, if you're interested in learning about the mathematical formula underlying the Bradley Siderograph, visit our page that provides an overview of the Donald Bradley Siderograph Formula.

49,000 new jobs in cutting edge green energy industries could boost Northern economy
Economic benefit would be huge – and we can do it quickly, says Drax Group CEO Will Gardiner
Cutting edge green energy technologies to decarbonise industries in the Humber would boost skills, create jobs and deliver the clean growth needed to regenerate the UK's most carbon-intensive region, according to research for Drax
Using carbon capture and hydrogen technologies to decarbonise the Humber would generate thousands of jobs from as early as 2024, kickstarting a whole new industry in the UK
Carbon capture and hydrogen could deliver more than 205,000 jobs nationally, attracting investment as well as new export opportunities to support a green industrial revolution
This is a huge opportunity for the Humber and the UK to demonstrate global climate leadership ahead of COP26 in 2021.
Cutting edge green energy technologies in the Humber could boost skills, create tens of thousands of jobs and transform the region's fortunes in the face of economic uncertainty caused by the Covid crisis, according to a new report from Vivid Economics.
The report was commissioned by Drax Group, a founding member of the Zero Carbon Humber partnership, to evaluate the socio-economic potential large-scale deployment of cutting-edge green energy technologies would have on the region and the UK.
Vivid Economics' analysis shows that scaling up bioenergy with carbon capture technology (BECCS), which Drax has already successfully proven at its power station in North Yorkshire, would support almost 17,000 jobs during construction in 2028.
Will Gardiner, Drax Group CEO, said:
Drax Group CEO Will Gardiner in the control room at Drax Power Station [Click to view/download]
"The boost to the economy created by developing these new green energy technologies in the Yorkshire and Humber region would be huge – and we can do it quickly.
"The technologies are ready to go, so tens of thousands of jobs could be created as early as 2024. This would deliver a real shot in the arm to communities struggling as a result of the Covid crisis.
"The positive impacts of these new green energy schemes aren't limited to the Humber region, either. This could kickstart a whole new industry in the UK, enabling us to show the world what can be achieved for the environment and the economy when governments, businesses and communities work together."
Using carbon capture technology across Drax's four biomass units would accelerate the UK's efforts to reach net zero by permanently removing 16 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere each year – a significant proportion of the negative emissions the UK needs to meet its net zero targets.
With the right policies from government, BECCS could be operational at Drax as soon as 2027, accelerating the Humber's efforts to become the UK's first zero carbon industrial cluster. Other industries across the region would tap into the same CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure, enabling further decarbonisation.
In October Drax was one of 12 leading businesses and organisations as part of the Zero Carbon Humber Partnership to jointly submit a public-private sector funded bid worth around £75m to the UK Government to establish a CCS and hydrogen economy in the region.

As the UK's most carbon intensive industrial region, the benefits of decarbonising the Humber would have the greatest impact on enabling the country to reach its legally binding net zero by 2050 target, whilst generating clean growth for the economy.
Deploying hydrogen production at scale for fuel-switching, as well as carbon capture to decarbonise gas power and other industries, alongside BECCS at Drax, could create and support as many as 49,000 jobs in the Humber region at its peak in 2027.
Henri Murison, director of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, said:
"This report shows what could be achieved across the Yorkshire and Humber region and wider Northern Powerhouse by developing BECCS at Drax and hydrogen in the Humber – cutting carbon emissions, protecting jobs in existing industries and creating many more new jobs throughout the region at a critical time.
"The Humber is already spearheading the UK's sustainable energy revolution, and through further investment in these sectors we can hope to unlock yet more economic potential for the North. Companies like Drax play a vital role in decarbonising the economy and closing the North – South divide to build back better."
British Chamber of Commerce Director General Adam Marshall said:
"Coronavirus has had a significant impact on our business communities. To help them restart, rebuild and renew, the government will need to set a clear framework and invest in greener, more sustainable technologies to not only meet our carbon goals, but help boost local growth and create the jobs of the future."
In order to unlock the potential a Zero Carbon Humber could create for the UK's green revolution, Drax is working with partners to ensure people in the region have the skills needed for the new jobs that could be created. It is supporting career enhancing schemes which help to level the playing field, remove barriers to learning, boosting skills and retraining.
Andrew Percy MP for Brigg and Goole said:
"With the development of a Zero Carbon Humber, within less than five years, this region could be at the forefront of the Government's green industrial revolution. Tens of thousands of jobs could be protected and created, supporting the North as it bounces forward from the Covid pandemic."
Lia Nici MP for Great Grimsby added:
"Ensuring local people have the skills needed to take full advantage of the opportunities created by these new energy technologies is critical. The Government as well as businesses, training providers, schools, colleges and communities must come together to support this initiative, so we're ready to make the proposals a reality."
The Vivid Economics Capturing Carbon at Drax: Delivering jobs, clean growth and levelling up the Humber, report found that:
As many as 49,000 jobs would be created and supported in the Humber region if bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), as well as hydrogen and other carbon removal technologies, are deployed to decarbonise industry.
With government backing for the proposals, these new jobs could begin to be created as early as 2024, peaking at 49,000 jobs in 2027.
Within the jobs created in the Humber there would be around 25,000 high quality roles in construction – as well as welders, pipe fitters, machine installers and technicians; with a further 24,000 supported across the supply chain and wider economy in 2027.
In addition there would be 3,300 longer term operational and maintenance roles created.
The initiative would also deliver over £3bn in GVA for the regional economy in 2027.
Without intervention and investment to spur a green recovery in the region there is a serious risk of longer-term economic damage as a high proportion of people have been furloughed in the Yorkshire and Humber region during the Covid crisis.
Almost 60% of workers in the construction industry in the Yorkshire and Humber region were furloughed in August 2020.
If deployed in the UK's five major industrial clusters (Humber, Teesside, Merseyside, South Wales, Scotland) CCUS and Hydrogen technologies will support 205,000 jobs in 2039 both directly, and through the supply chain and wider economy.
To find out more about the Zero Carbon Humber go to the website. The Zero Carbon Humber Partnership could kickstart a new CCS and hydrogen industry and includes Associated British Ports, British Steel, Centrica Storage Ltd, Drax Group, Equinor, Mitsubishi Power, National Grid Ventures, px Group, SSE Thermal, Saltend Cogeneration Company Limited, Uniper and the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).
Map showing the proposed Zero Carbon Humber pipeline route, and the largest industrial clusters by emissions in the UK, as well as an infographic showing what a zero carbon industrial cluster could look like in the Humber are available online.
Drax is playing its part to ensure people in the Yorkshire and Humber region have the skills needed for the new jobs a low carbon economy in the Humber could create, by:
Developing career enhancing schemes which help to level the playing field and create opportunities for all – Drax has signed up to the Social Mobility Pledge
Supporting skills and retraining through partnerships with colleges and training providers – a new £180,000 partnership with Selby College
Removing barriers to learning and helping to create more career opportunities within the energy industry. Drax is soon launching Drax 'Mobilising a Million' – its new bold ambition to improve skills, education, employability and apprenticeships for one million people by 2025
Drax has taken an active role in supporting its communities and business customers since the Covid crisis started, by investing more than £750,000 in schemes such as:
Donating 853 laptops to 50 schools and colleges across the country, including 412 to 20 schools across Yorkshire, the Humber and Lincolnshire
Supplying free energy to 189 care homes
Donating £150,000 to the Business Debtline to help SMEs facing financial hardship during the Covid crisis

Its 2,900-strong employees operate across three principal areas of activity – electricity generation, electricity sales to business customers and compressed wood pellet production.
Drax owns and operates a portfolio of flexible, low carbon and renewable electricity generation assets across Britain. The assets include the UK's largest power station, based at Selby, North Yorkshire, which supplies five percent of the country's electricity needs.
Having converted two thirds of Drax Power Station to use sustainable biomass instead of coal it has become the UK's biggest renewable power generator and the largest decarbonisation project in Europe. It is also where Drax is piloting the groundbreaking negative emissions technology BECCS within its CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage) Incubation Area.
Its pumped storage, hydro and energy from waste assets in Scotland include Cruachan Power Station – a flexible pumped storage facility within the hollowed-out mountain Ben Cruachan. It also owns and operates four gas power stations in England.
Through its two B2B energy supply brands, Haven Power and Opus Energy, Drax supplies energy to 250,000 businesses across England, Scotland and Wales.
Pellet production:
Drax owns and operates three pellet mills in the US South which manufacture compressed wood pellets (biomass) produced from sustainably managed working forests. These pellet mills supply around 20% of the biomass used by Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire to generate flexible, renewable power for the UK's homes and businesses.
