I'm interested in an alternative relationship to difference. My work plays with what happens when we invite opposites to the party and join wholeheartedly in the conversations that result.

Jim Watt resists being categorized. He is a Princeton-trained artist and architect and principle in the Asbury-Park-based firm Smith whose restaurants and build designs have been integral to the re-imagining of Asbury Park and other cities. Whatever the medium, he creates works from the complex and energetic interaction of forces traditionally seen as contradictory.
Watt was inspired by architects, artists and critics who believed that painting, sculpture and architecture are not exclusive expressions for an artist. Form, space, material, texture, color and light are common to these languages.
Watt studied under students of Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Luis Kahn and other pillars of modernism and expressionism who expressed their ideas in a variety of mediums. It was with his thesis advisor and mentor Amir Ameri at Temple University that he began to challenge the traditional formal and special relationships of architecture, painting and sculpture. From there he was accepted into the prestigious Master of Architecture program at Princeton University where just five students were selected from around the world to study with the greatest minds in art and architecture. There, Watt studied with masters such as Michael Graves and Enrique Miralles who stressed that architects must paint and sculpt to fully realize and express their ideas.
In "Sitting in Ambiguity", abstract form morphs into representational shapes. Images that at first appear freeform emerge as familiar. Three-dimensional form oscillates with two-dimensional surface. Figure vies with ground. The simplicity of a bold palette is manipulated to express nuanced light and shadow. In each work, he is playing with the tensions of opposites. His process is akin to improvisational music where each choice of note informs the next.

On the plus facet, Viva Amiga is charmingly made for one thing that is driven virtually entirely by speaking head interviews. While Amiga programmers like the eternally goofy (in a great way) R.J. Mical talk about the innovations the team made, director Weddington animates whole scenes utilizing Amiga expertise. A product launch video from the mid-Eighties, involving artist Andy Warhol and Blondie singer Debbie Harry (both cool then, both cool now, perhaps a nod to the creative aspirations of the pc), seems on CGI-produced displays like we're watching it from an Amiga employee's work station.
I just acquired a 3d when watching regular stations, it does not appear as sensible as the HD. Is that the way in which it's or my settings are improper? Before the purchase, I thought u might have a HD high quality, if and when u choose to not have a 3d mode. The module under prices around $100, has a Cas Latency of 15, has a little bit of play for energy users, and looks implausible too. It's obtainable in a wide range of colors and has received varied Editor's recommendation awards.

That is unlucky as a result of whereas the Web may give us the nationwide and worldwide news (usually in extra), the web is not going to put the names of the individuals who made the Honor Roll at college, element tales about high school soccer groups, photos of the homecoming queens, actions of the city council, faculty board, and so on.
It is an easy, if barely lazy, trope to counsel that simply because every previous industrial revolution has created jobs moderately than destroyed them, so too will this fourth one. Whereas it is more likely to be true in the medium to long term, it could be a bumpy process within the speedy future. The trail to tread surely sits somewhere between resisting the calls of a new technology of Luddites who want to see robots taxed and letting 'progress' run riot. To take a totally laissez faire method risks fuelling a bubble which may not do the economic system a lot good, while also storing up issues for the future that can only should be fixed anyway once the mud has settled.

Here's another unexpected way the politics of Obamacare are going to get scrambled in the days ahead — and not necessarily in the GOP's favor — as the reality of mounting sign-ups sinks in.
This is the news contained in new Obamacare marketplace sign-up data that the Department of Health and Human Services just released, which includes a state-by-state breakdown of sign-ups that wasn't previously available.
In Florida, some 983,000 people are now signed up for private insurance through the federal exchange — up from 442,000 at the end of February. This is in a state where the Dem candidate for Governor — Charlie Crist — happens to be running on a very pro-Obamacare message. Crist is already seizing on the new data to attack GOP incumbent Governor Rick Scott for opposing the law — and over the consequences of repeal.
In North Carolina, some 357,000 people have now signed up for coverage through the federal exchange — up from 200,000 at the end of February. This could become more of an issue in the days ahead: Senator Kay Hagan has previously attacked likely GOP foe Thom Tillis for opposing setting up a state exchange and opposing the Medicaid expansion as state House speaker. Now the new numbers will provide fodder for Dems in the state to argue that North Carolinians wanted access to expanded health coverage — despite Tillis' efforts to block it – underscoring the Dem message that Tillis' state policies have been hostile to the middle class.
In Michigan, some 272,000 people have now signed up for coverage through the federal exchange — up from around 144,000 people at the end of February. On top of that, the Medicaid expansion is kicking in, which will add hundreds of thousands more. The Dem candidate there, Gary Peters, has already proven willing to attack GOP opponent Terri Lynn Land for opposing the Medicaid expansion, and Michigan Dems can seize on the mounting private enrollment to press the case that Land — who is pro repeal — would take the law's benefits away from huge number of the folks she'd represent.
Now, the usual caveats: We don't know how many people have paid, and we don't know how many of these people were previously insured. None of this tells us much about the law's long term prospects, which turn on the demographic mix and on how the exchanges fare over time, and there are other problems potentially lurking ahead. And surely, Republicans will continue to point to canceled plans in their own states to continue making their own case that the law is hurting people.
But these numbers will make it harder and harder for Republicans to continue pretending the law's beneficiaries don't exist — even in states that constitute tough political terrain for the law and Democratic candidates.
UPDATE: A couple others: In Georgia, the sign-ups are now at around 316,000, and in Louisiana they're at around 101,000.


"Such support would be out of guidelines," one Pentagon official wrote.
WASHINGTON ― The month after Donald Trump won the presidential election, his staff asked the Pentagon to send photographs of military tactical vehicles that he could include in his inaugural parade, emails obtained by The Huffington Post show.
The emails, which were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, corroborate HuffPost's January report that Trump, who has spoken favorably of public displays of military prowess, looked into deploying heavy military equipment in his inaugural parade. Asked in December about plans to use military equipment during the occasion, a Trump aide refused to address the matter on the record but offered a vehement off-the-record denial. It's not clear whether the aide was aware of the conversations referenced in the Pentagon emails, and he did not respond to a request for an explanation.
The Pentagon typically works closely with presidential inaugural committees to plan the parades. But the military usually provides support in the form of musical groups and color guards rather than heavy military equipment. When Trump's team floated the idea of sending tanks and missile launchers down Pennsylvania Avenue, some worried it might resemble the massive military parades in North Korea, a source involved in inaugural preparations told HuffPost in January. They were also concerned that the heavy tanks could damage D.C. roads.
Requests for the use of military equipment in inaugural parades have to be approved by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Ultimately, the Trump team decided against filing a formal request for military vehicles. Instead, they asked for multiple flyovers of fighter aircraft.
"Great news," one Pentagon official wrote on Dec. 27, responding to an email confirming that the Trump team had abandoned its efforts to procure "military tactical vehicles" for the parade.
Trump's inaugural planning committee asked for a flyover from each military service and an additional flyover from "one of the demonstration teams" ― a possible reference to the Navy's Blue Angels, the Air Force's Thunderbirds, or the Army's Golden Knights Parachute Team. The military rejected the demonstration team but approved four aircraft each for the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, the Marines and the Coast Guard.
The Pentagon approved the use of both aircraft, but Trump never got to see his fighter jets in action on his inauguration day. The military canceled all flyovers on Jan. 20, citing poor weather conditions.

News: Rotherham revved up for Get Up To Speed
Get up to Speed (GUTS), the region's largest engineering and skills event specifically for young people, is making a welcome return to its now well-established home at Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham this week.
This hugely popular interactive event is designed to showcase science, technology, engineering and manufacturing and its employers to young people, parents and educators in the South Yorkshire region and beyond.
Now in its eighth year, 2018 has had more pre-event bookings than ever before, currently standing at over 2,350, with over 50 schools and education establishments from across the region and beyond expected to attend.
The 2018 event takes place at Magna on April 18.
The event, driven by employers and delivered through The work-wise Foundation is now believed to be the largest of its kind in the North. It has an impressive list of businesses exhibiting, including the likes of Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Tinsley Bridge, Polypipe and Yamazaki Mazak UK Ltd.
Headline sponsors for this year are Liberty Speciality Steels, Cooper Brown Enterprises and Careers Y&H, with other event sponsors including the likes of AESSEAL, Doncasters Bramah, the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Santander and Elevation Recruitment Group.
Mick Hood HR director at Liberty Speciality Steels, said: "We continue to support the Get up to Speed event because it is a fantastic way of raising awareness among young people, teachers and parents of the exciting opportunities on offer by choosing an engineering or science-based career. Each year the event gets bigger and better and I'm sure this year will be no different."
John Barber, CEO of the work-wise Foundation and Chair of the GUTS Steering Group, added: "Get up to Speed is free to visit and is designed to inspire and inform through a wide range of hands on activities, showcasing many different businesses from traditional to advanced technologies plus support and education organisations.
"This year we are showcasing the whole breadth of what the region has to offer from traditional cutlery and tools manufacturing to aerospace to buildings and bridge construction (we even have our own Bailey Bridge for students to build) and everything in between. This is a fantastic region for STEM with some fantastic opportunities for or young people.
"There will be the chance to have a go on lots of things including Virtual Reality Welding, CNC Machining, VR and Augmented Reality tools for the rail industry, Formula 1 and flight simulators to experiencing our Theatre of Engineering, designed and delivered by students from the Sheffield Engineering Leadership Academy at Sheffield University.
"Recognising the importance of those who influence young people's choices we will also be running teacher awareness seminars on the day, so they can take back to school knowledge, labour market information and practical activities and spread the word further."
The day gets underway with a Business Breakfast and panel debate sponsored by Elevation Recruitment Group on skills including an address from David Richards CBE, chairman of Prodrive and chairman of the UK Motor Sports Association (MSA). Richards is also the former chairman of Aston Martin as well as Benetton and BAR Formula One Teams.

What is the purpose of Duvadilan Retard and ASA during pregnancy?
Pregnancy: Are these drugs safe during pregnancy?
In other words it should only be used if pre-term labour has already started. Babies born to women who were taking isoxsuprine have suffered from ileus (slow movement of intestine resulting in constipation, bloating and pain),respiratory distress and hypocalcaemia (low calcium levels in blood). Even for pre-term delivery, safer agents such as salbutamol and ritodrine are used but like isoxsuprine they have no prophylatic use. Acetyl Salicylic Acid is another name of aspirin. It is claimed to delay labour and prolong pregnancy. However firm, scientific evidence in support of this theory is lacking. Another reason for giving aspirin is pregnancy-induced high blood pressure. However it can cause bleeding disorders in infants born to mothers who take aspirin. It is not clear as to why you were given Duvadilan Retard during your previous pregnancy unless labour had actually started before 34 weeks. The golden principle is: least medication during pregnancy. Medcines to be given only when clearly indicated.
Home » Frequently asked Questions on Health » What is the purpose of Duvadilan Retard and ASA during pregnancy?
Q: I am 30 years old and have completed 16 weeks of pregnancy. During my first pregnancy, I had a missed abortion in the sixth week. After that I delivered a baby boy, who is now 3.5 years old. My gynaecologist prescribed Duvadilan Retard, which my earlier doctor had given me in my eighth month during my first pregnancy. Is it advisable to take this medicine at an early stage? What is the purpose of taking this medicine? I have also being prescribed Acetyle Salicylic Acid (ASA), what is the purpose of this drug? The above-mentioned drugs were not given to me in my earlier pregnancy; therefore I have certain doubts about them. Please advise.
Duvadilan Retard is the brand name of a medicine called isoxsuprine. It has many actions on many organs. Among others, it relaxes the muscles of the uterus. In the past this medicine was used to stop pre-term delivery. An injection was given if the labour started ahead of 34 weeks followed by tablets. However it has no preventive role.


In my Web based application I have a hierarchy of musical genres. There are around 1.5k genres in the tree, and the depth of the tree is at most about four levels.
(I'd like to concentrate on the question of large checkbox trees. There is another argument to be had whether hierarchy is the correct way to navigate genre - there are two reasons I did it this way: (1) it's easier to find a genre as search isn't provided and (2) where genres are disallowed the application looks for the most specific parent genre that is allowed. I wanted this mental model retained in the UI).
From now on, I'll talk about checkbox trees in the abstract.
Here, 'large hierarchy' is a tree with 1k nodes or more.
Start with either a blank tree, or choose some good default root nodes.
When a node is selected, provide an affordance to add a node. When clicked, a list of suggested children is presented. This suggests a 'model' or 'template' tree is understood by the UI. In the case of the genre tree above, the same hierarchy could be used, it's just this is only ever used for suggestion of child nodes. Alternatively, the user could just type in the node they want.
All nodes can be removed from the tree.
All nodes that are in the tree are thus selected (in the case of the genre tree, 'allowed').
There would need to be a bulk addition mode, because otherwise adding a number of nodes would take 2*N where N=number of added nodes.
While the model used internally to decide on genre alternatives for an album uses a tree, this doesn't necessarily need to be represented in the UI. Instead, a list builder / dual list approach could be adopted.
Am I overthinking this? Should I just go with the checkbox tree?
Tree traversal and node selection (at least in the "classic" implementation) is a tedious and fiddly task from an interaction design perspective.
How about flattening the hierarchy smartphone style combined with something along a Listbuilder pattern (in an updated version, the one shown in the picture is rather archaic). The latter because it can be hard to keep track of your selections in the same list you navigate.
The left list would be your entire genre collection (does it really need to be that big, btw?). It would follow the One-window drilldown pattern. At each level you would be able to either add a genre (and its subgenres if any) or drill further down (apart from the lowermost levels, of course), something like Birdbrain here: http://pttrns.com/lists.
The right list would be the allowed genres represented in a flat list, with the genre hierarchy represented as breadcrumb-like "meta data", with a meta data format like e.g. Instacast, from the same resource as cited above ( http://pttrns.com/lists ).
You should just go with a checkbox tree, but find a fast one.
Checkbox tree is familiar - or at least both tree and checkboxes are, so it is only a small leap for users. A tree building interface on the other hand will need instructions with it. The tree-building solution is going to be more confusing as you are adding/removing both nodes and leaves. It will particularly confuse users what a non leaf node in the tree means. Does it mean everything encompassed by that node, or only what has been explicitly added underneath it. When adding a non-leaf node, you'll need to have some way to show what is under that node (I want to add 'hip-hop', is 'hip-hop' under 'contemporary'?). So at some times you'll want to be choosing from a tree to build a tree. It seems a lot easier if the tree is already built for you and you are just selecting in place within it.
If you can't find a faster checkbox tree, splitting the levels of the tree at some point using master-details could give you enough performance gain. You'd have the two parts side by side. As an example, if you have a top-level tree with 50 nodes in it, you can use that to choose between 50 checkbox trees each with about 50 nodes in it and constructed on request. With that strategy you could afford to disable open/close for tree elements and have them all open - so that both left and right trees effectively become scrollable indented lists. This will reduce the amount of clicking to select, but will need a lot more TLC to look good and work smoothly than a fast checkbox tree would.

Fans of Leavitt & Sons Deli in Falmouth will soon be able to snag their sandwiches in town Portland. The grab and go staple has been working on their new location just off Marginal Way in East Bayside and we're so ready for the food!
Leavitt & Sons serves deli staples like the classic BLT, Tuna Salad sandwiches, and Ruebens along with some creative concoctions like the Sidelinger. That sandwich boasts black forest ham, brie, roasted pears, and honey mustard. So good!
There isn't a review that does this place justice. The pickles are great, the cookies are great, and those are only minor pluses when juxtaposed against the rest of what Leavitt's has to offer. They have one of the nicest sandwiches in town - my personal favorite is the deviled egg salad - and the soups are fantastic. The owners and staff are all friendly, too.
- Yelp.com Review by Sam R.
All of their sandwiches are recommended; the bread is always soft and the produce and meat is fresh and delicious. They also carry drinks and snacks from local brands like Maine Root and Cape Cod Chips.

Росси́йское прави́тельство (Прави́тельство Российского госуда́рства, «О́мское прави́тельство», также известно как Прави́тельство Колчака́, Колча́ковское прави́тельство) — высший орган государственной власти, образованный в результате событий 18 ноября 1918 года в Омске, во главе с Верховным Правителем России адмиралом А. В. Колчаком.

Состав Правительства
Правительство было составлено из Верховного Правителя, Совета Министров и Совета Верховного Правителя. Также в правительство входило Чрезвычайное Государственное Экономическое Совещание, которое позднее было преобразовано в Государственное Экономическое Совещание. 17 декабря 1918 года при «Омском правительстве» было создано особое Подготовительное совещание, занимавшееся вопросами внешней политики и координирующее деятельность с делегацией Русского Политического Совещания, представляющей Белую Россию на Парижской мирной конференции. При Колчаке был восстановлен Правительствующий Сенат (высшая судебная инстанция). Департамент милиции и государственной охраны, официально включенный в состав Министерства Внутренних дел, фактически был самостоятельной структурой. Руководство идеологической работой было возложено на Центральный осведомительный отдел при Главном штабе и Отдел печати при канцелярии Совета Министров. Правительство состояло в основном из бывших членов делового (Всероссийского) Совета Министров Уфимской директории, содействовавших перевороту Колчака. Объединяло сибирских областников кадетского направления, кадетов, народных социалистов и др.

Постоянные органы Правительства

Верховный правитель России

Верховный Правитель России как глава государства сосредоточил в своих руках все ветви власти: исполнительную, законодательную, судебную. Он обладал неограниченной властью. Он являлся высшей руководящей инстанцией. Любой законодательный акт становился действующим лишь после подписи Верховным Правителем. Также Верховный Правитель являлся одновременно и Верховным Главнокомандующим.

Власть Верховного Правителя рассматривалась как исключительно временная, до победы над большевиками и созыва Учредительного собрания.

Совет Министров
При Колчаке Совмин был наделен чрезвычайно широкими полномочиями. Это был орган не только исполнительной, но и законодательной власти. Совет Министров рассматривал проекты указов и законов до утверждения их Верховным Правителем.

Состав Совета Министров:
 Председатель Совета Министров (П. В. Вологодский, В. Н. Пепеляев)

Совет Верховного Правителя

Совет Верховного Правителя — формально — консультативный орган при правительстве Верховного правителя, фактически — орган принятия основных политических решений, законодательно оформлявшихся указами Верховного правителя, Советом Министров. Он был учрежден приказом Колчака от 21 ноября 1918 года. В его состав входили:

 Вологодский П. В.
 Гаттенбергер А. Н. (с мая 1919 его сменил Пепеляев В. Н.)
 Михайлов И. А.
 Тельберг Г. Г.
 Сукин И. И. (до него — Ключников Ю. В.)
 Любое лицо (возможно и несколько) по личному усмотрению Верховного Правителя

Совету Верховного Правителя суждено было обратиться в своего рода «звездную палату». Основная цель его — установить общие линии политики — с самого начала стушевалась перед злободневной: устранить закулисные влияния.

Результатом создания Совета Верховного Правителя стало то, что Совет министров оказался отрешен от политики. Совет Министров утратил многие свои исполнительные функции, сосредоточившись почти исключительно на законодательной деятельности. Так, однако, продолжалось недолго.

Центральное место в Совете Верховного Правителя занял министр финансов И. А. Михайлов. Он был одним из самых влиятельных членов правительства, популярность его, однако, была невысока. Под давлением общественности 16 августа 1919 года Михайлов был отправлен в отставку. После этого Совет Верховного Правителя стал собираться крайне нерегулярно, а его значение практически сошло на нет. После падения Омска ни разу не собирался.

Временные органы Правительства

Чрезвычайное Государственное экономическое совещание
Через несколько дней после переворота последний государственный контролер царского правительства, С. Г. Федосьев подал Колчаку записку об учреждении Чрезвычайного Государственного Экономического совещания. По первоначальному проекту предполагалось преобладание в нём представителей от торговли и промышленности. Совет Министров расширил представительство от кооперации. В таком виде указ был утвержден Верховным Правителем 22 ноября 1918. Первоначально был практически исключительно бюрократической организацией с задачей разработки экстренных мероприятий в области финансов, снабжения армии и восстановления торгово-промышленного аппарата, потенциально мог стать представительным органом, что и случилось 2 мая 1919, когда ЧГЭС было преобразовано в Государственное Экономическое совещание. В состав ЧГЭС входили:

 Председатель ЧГЭС — С. Г. Федосьев
 Министр финансов
 Военный министр
 Министр продовольствия и снабжения
 Министр торговли и промышленности
 Министр путей сообщения
 Государственный контролер
 3 представителя правлений частных и кооперативных банков
 5 представителей Всероссийского Совета Съездов торговли и промышленности
 3 представителя Совета Кооперативных Съездов

Государственное экономическое совещание
Государственное экономическое совещание (ГЭС) — представительный орган разрабатывавший экстренные мероприятия в области финансов, снабжения армии и восстановления торгово-промышленного аппарата. Был создан указом Верховного Правителя от 2 мая 1919. Торжественное открытие состоялось 19 июня 1919 года в Омске. Включал в свой состав 60 членов — министров, представителей от банков, кооперативов, земских собраний и городских дум, а также от Сибирского, Уральского, Оренбургского и Забайкальского казачьих войск. Председателем данного органа был Г. К. Гинс. После взятия Омска красными ГЭС переехало в Иркутск, где после 8 декабря заседания были возобновлены.

Все проекты Чрезвычайного государственного экономического совещания и Государственного экономического совещания могли начать воплощаться в жизнь только после утверждения их Верховным Правителем.

Особое Подготовительное Совещание

Органы политического контроля
После прихода к власти А. В. Колчак начал формирование системы органов политического контроля, в состав которой вошли армейская контрразведка, военный контроль, государственная охрана и некоторые другие структуры. Органы политического контроля занимались проверкой служащих государственного аппарата, выявлением политических противников, осуществляли функции цензуры. Органы политического контроля принимали непосредственное участие в терроре по отношению к политическим противникам белого движения.

Внешняя политика и международное признание

Российское правительство было признано на международном уровне формально (де-юре) только одним государством — Королевством Сербов, Хорватов и Словенцев. В конце июня 1919 года в Омск прибыл поверенный в делах Югославского МИДа Й. Миланкович. Посланником в Белграде был утверждён В. Н. Штрандман.

Де-факто Российское правительство было признано странами Антанты (союзницами России по Первой мировой войне) и странами, возникшими после крушения европейских империй — Чехо-Словакией, Финляндией, Польшей, государствами Прибалтики.

Конец правительства
Накануне падения Омска, утром 10 ноября 1919 года Совет Министров выехал в Иркутск по Транссибирской железной дороге. Здесь он оказался оторванным от армии и от Верховного Правителя. 14 ноября пал Омск, фронт разваливался. Подавленный неудачами, Вологодский подал в отставку, которая была принята 21 ноября. Сформировать новое правительство было поручено Пепеляеву, который вскоре уехал из Иркутска к Колчаку.

По всей Сибири начались массовые восстания, белые неумолимо отступали на восток. В этой обстановке 21 декабря 1919 года в Черемхово вспыхнуло рабочее восстание, 24-го поддержанное в самом Иркутске. Руководство над Правительством взял на себя управляющий министерством внутренних дел А. А. Червен-Водали. 28-го он вместе с военным министром М. В. Ханжиным и временно управляющим министерством путей сообщения А. М. Ларионовым образовал оперативный орган государственного управления — так называемую «троекторию». Из-за пассивности чехословаков, объявивших о своём нейтралитете, «троектория», не имевшая должного количества войск под рукой, была вынуждена пойти на переговоры с лидерами антиколчаковского восстания. Осознавая близость своего краха, Колчак 4 января 1920 года подписал указ о предрешении своего отречения в пользу генерала Деникина, которому власть планировалось передать по прибытии в Верхнеудинск; власть на Востоке России переходила к атаману Семенову.

5 января власть над Иркутском оказалась в руках эсеро-меньшевистского Политцентра. Российское правительство было низложено.

Премьер-министр В. Н. Пепеляев был расстрелян вместе с А. В. Колчаком 7 февраля 1920 года.

Rone's Melbourne Takeover
On one hand, this city has cracked down on graffiti. On the other, it's championing street art as part of its heritage. Ahead of his new solo show, we caught up with Tyrone "Rone" Wright to discuss.

Tyrone Wright, also known as Rone, is doing pretty well. This year he was approached by property developer QIC to paint a mural on Collins Street, overlooking the (now-closed) Rue & Co pop-up. The result is one of the largest murals in the southern hemisphere. Following several overseas trips, Rone has returned to his stomping ground to present his new solo exhibition, an installation at the NGV for its Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition, and to (legally) decorate a tram.
"When I started there was no such thing as a career [in street art], no one was making a living out of it. Now there are schools who call us and ask us to give workshops to kids and it's really kind of bizarre," says Wright. He believes institutional acceptance of street art as a sanctioned art form will get people involved in all aspects of public art.
So what exactly is street art? Is it time for a new label? Wright describes his work as, "New age muralism", a term that seems more accurate. Whatever you want to call it, the city seems to be lapping it up.
Wright's work consists of female portraits, often using a restrained colour palette. For his new solo show, Lumen, Wright is exploring the idea of a spiritual awakening.
"It's about when you're growing up and you realise that something you have been told your entire life is not exactly the truth ... and you can't continue on."
The exhibition is taking place inside and outside of a building at the site of his eight-storey Collins Street mural. Eleven large works have been hung inside the space and an additional two adorn the outside of the building.
Meanwhile, down the road at the NGV, Wright has an 80-metre installation. It consists of four portraits of Gaultier's "Australian Muses", who are Cate Blanchett, Kylie Minogue, Gemma Ward and Andreja Pejic.
You can also catch his work on a Melbourne Art Tram; the City of Melbourne has chosen to adorn one of its trams with Wright's work. Wright tailored the art work to match the specifications of the tram by mapping out his design (to scale) on a wall and then photographing it to be printed onto vinyl. So if you see a chunk of Fitzroy on the move through Essendon, you'll know why.
"It's very strange to see your street rolling down the street," says Wright.
Tram 209 will operate on Essendon Routes 55, 57, 59 and 82.
Wright's show Lumen is on at 109 Little Collins Street, Melbourne from 24 October 2014 until 9 November 2014.

How many of you haven't managed to get out into your yard yet? Is the prospect of working on a project you have too daunting? With Owatrol, there is always a solution!
Whether you have a deck that has turned gray and needs a good clean, a shed that is peeling and needs repainting or perhaps some garden furniture that needs a little bit of TLC, we will have a product for you!
Prepdeck is a professional grade stripper & cleaner specifically designed for the removal of solid and semi-transparent stains, removal of mill glaze, unsightly wood stamps and other finishes from exterior wood.
It is ideal for use on fences, decking, garden furniture and more.
As Prepdeck is a high-grade stripper, you will need to use Net-Trol to neutralizse the wood after you have used it. This is an important step and must be carried out as it stops the active ingredient in Prepdeck from continuing to work.
Prepdeck is available in a 2.5 liter size.
Net-Trol is a powerful wood cleaner and brightener which restores grayed and weathered wood to its natural color. It effortlessly removes surface and ground in dirt leaving the wood looking bright and vibrant.
Fast acting, it can restore the color of your wood in as little as 15 mins!
One of the things we love about Net-Trol is that it is biodegradable and does not contain solvents or bleach. This means that it's not harmful to plants and shrubs so it's safe to use in the garden!
Net-Trol is available in 1 & 2.5 liter sizes.
Textrol is a penetrating wood oil finish for exterior softwood and hardwood on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. This offers long-lasting protection from the effects of weathering and pollution.
Instead of hiding the natural beauty of the wood, Textrol enhances it.
Textrol is applied wet-on-wet, which saves time as you don't need to wait for coats to dry during application and the maintenance is easy with local touch-ups and no laborious sanding required!
Textrol is available in 1, 2.5 & 20 liter sizes.
Solid Color Stain (SCS) is suitable for use on new wood, weathered wood and even previously treated wood.
The SCS range is available in 10 stylish colors and is incredibly easy to use with just 2 coats needed in most cases. Maintenance is also easy; simply clean the effected area and repaint – no stripping or sanding required!
SCS is available in 1, & 20 liter sizes.
Aquadecks is a penetrating water-based wood finish that leaves a long lasting, rich, matte finish for all woods, including exotic hardwoods.
It saturates and stabilizes the wood from within, resulting in minimal cracking, warping and other damage caused by the weather.
Suitable for interior or exterior use and works perfectly on horizontal and vertical surfaces; such as decks, outdoor furniture or cladding and can be applied directly onto new or weathered wood.
Aquadecks is available in 2.5 & 20 liter sizes.
If none of these products are suitable for you, we have a very handy Product Finder function on our home page which can help assist you with finding the right Owatrol product for you and your project. Take a look and see what is the right solution for you.
*Owatrol International warrants SCS against peeling on wood decks for 5 years and against cracking, peeling and flaking on wood cladding for 15 years from the date of purchase if it is applied on bare wood to a properly prepared surface according to label directions.
For full terms and conditions, please contact us.


Before you start creating a dashboard, you have to prepare data that will be used for the dashboard. You have several options for doing that. You either select a suitable report from the list of available reports or configure your own report according to your needs. Let´s have a look at how to prepare your report.
Log in to ARIS Connect, click the down arrow next to the user name, click "Download clients", and click the "Start" button next to "ARIS Architect/Designer". Next, save the jar file, click the "Download" icon in your browser, and run the jar file by double-clicking it. ARIS Launcher is started.
After you have logged in to ARIS Architect, click "ARIS" in the top left corner, and in the drop-down menu, click "Administration".
Now, go to Evaluations > Reports and click "Dashboard data".
Various reports are available for use here. To export item data to a table, right-click the report "Export item data to tables" and choose "Edit report parameters".
In the section "Exported item type", you can choose the parameters that you are interested in. To choose roles and activities that are involved in particular processes, choose Role, Activity, and Process.
Below, you can add further information to the selected item types that you are interested in.
On the left, a parameter value set is displayed. You can also add a new one if you want to, and you can also set output parameters. For this, two options are available: folder name and file name prefix. If you set the prefix "ProcessActivityRoles", for example, this will be visible in the data storage and all the files will have the same prefix.
Click OK to save all settings. Now, schedule a report that you can later use to create a dashboard.
Right-click "Scheduled reports" and click "New" > "Create scheduled report". Alternatively, choose "New" in the menu at the top.
Enter a name for the report, e.g. test, enter the user name and password, and click "Next".
In the "Category" field, select "Dashboard data" and in the "Report" field, select "Export item data to tables" to run the export. Do not forget to select a parameter value set.
Next, select a database (in this case, United Motor Group), click "Next" and "Finish". Now, your report is displayed in the list of scheduled reports (in case you scheduled some reports before, there will also be others in the list).
To work with this report, right-click the database (UMG) and select "Evaluate" > "Start report".
Choose the category "Dashboard data" and select "Export item data to tables" as the report type. Click "Next", choose a parameter value set, and then click "Finish". It may take a while for the report to complete.
The report exports data from the system and saves it to ARIS document storage.
To look at these data, open ARIS Connect. Go to Repository > Documents > ARIS document storage > United Motor Group > launch training.
The data from your report is now available in the listed XML file(s) and can be used in the datafeeds.

This is a question we ask throughout our 'Stakeholder Engagement and Effective Communication' workshops as we believe it is pivotal to connecting with others.
It's easy to communicate what you do, and how you do it, but the fuzziest bit is often the 'why', which is our sense of purpose and underlying emotion. The concept of 'Start With Why' comes from Simon Sinek, who provides a useful framework he calls 'The Golden Circle' – shown below. The centre circle is 'why', the next concentric circle is 'how', and the outermost circle is 'what'.
According to Simon, most people and organisations will often start with 'what' they do and 'how' they do it, as these are easy to articulate. The 'why', however, is rarely talked about. According to the Golden Circle, they go outside in, and Simon advocates that we should invert the order. Go from the inside-out in the Golden Circle. Start with 'why', discuss the 'how', and end with 'what'.
On the first day of our October 'Stakeholder Engagement and Effective Communication' workshop, all the participants paired into groups to start talking about 'why' they do what they do. We encouraged people to bring photos showing what they care about to link us to what motivates them to do what they do. Instantly, stories surfaced that took guards away, brought personalities forward and allowed for a deeper level of connection with others.
To practice what we preach, I'll take a minute to explain my why.
I value people and relationships, it's something that brings me a deeper sense of joy and meaning than most things. My studies in marketing have always leaned toward consumer behaviour and understanding how humans connect. As I moved into the field of Digital Marketing by working in several agencies to build websites and run marketing campaigns, I noticed a disparity between the way we connected with humans face-to-face and online. The reality that there was a human creating what was being 'seen on the screen' was often forgotten.
My 'why' is now all about ensuring 'people' and our 'humanity' are not forgotten in the digital marketing landscape. Building relationships with people as individuals is still the key, even with screens in between. Ultimately, any organisation must have a shared 'why' with every individual among their audience in order to build a long-term connection.
Take for example 'Thank You' and 'Who Gives A Crap' who sell their products with a greater purpose in mind that all their customers (myself included) can share.
When you work towards things that inspire you, it literally makes you feel more alive. Think about what feels bigger than you – something you're connected with, passionate about, and know that when you focus your attention toward it, it puts a fire in your belly.
This will get you thinking about what really inspires you, as it often takes a few tries to really clarify your 'why'.
Once you're able to hone into your 'why', the next step is to include it in your communication with stakeholders. Start meetings and presentations sharing your 'why' and encouraging others to think about and share their 'why'. You'll find that this will clarify and shape a shared goal that everyone can then relate to and be more involved in achieving.
Participants presenting an event plan on Day 2 of the October workshop, including their combined 'why'.
Closing with why is also a good way to have people leave a conversation or meeting feeling reinvigorated. The more you begin to introduce 'why' in conversations, the easier it becomes.
The ARRC will be running workshops in 2019, where we delve a lot more into 'starting with why' and share tools and techniques we've found to be quite useful in engaging stakeholders and communicating with external audiences on the web and social media. If you're interested in hearing more, please share your expression of interest here.

Previously I blogged about TDD with some reservations and then later as I re-introduced myself to the pure practice as I had learned it some many moons ago. For the last month, I have been plowing ahead methodically with this experiment, and I thought I'd revisit some of my thoughts from earlier.
First off, the pros still stand in my mind, but I'd like to add one enormous additional pro, which is that you get code right the first time. I mean, really, really right. Right as in coding for a few days without ever running the application you're working on, and then firing it up and having it work flawlessly the first time you run it.
And, I'm not talking about plodding along with some tiny development exercise like scoring a bowling game. I mean, I recently wrote an application that would parse a text file, format and filter records, and insert the result in a database. Using a combination of Moq for my internal seams and Moles for external concerns (file and database), I exhaustively tested everything I wanted to do as I went, following the red-green-refactor process to the letter. After some hours here and there of working on this (shaking off my TDD rust being part of the time spent), I finally hit F5 and it worked. My files were parsed, my databases updated, my log file written accurately. This wasn't a fluke, either, because I repeated the process when I wrote another utility that piggy-backed on this first one to send out emails with the results. I wrote an API for setting up custom mail messages, dependency injection for different mail clients, and wireup code for integrating. Never once did I step through the debugger trying to figure out what network credential I had missed or which message was missing which formatting. I put the finishing touches on it with my tests passing and code coverage at 100%, hit F5 and had a well-formed, perfect message in my inbox before I even looked away from my screen, expecting to be kicked into the debugger. That is a remarkable pro.
I mean, think of that. If you're a skeptic about TDD or unit testing in general, you've probably never experienced anything like that. If you have, that's amazing. I don't know anyone that doesn't develop in this fashion that has this happen. I mean, people who are really sharp get it mostly right, and sometimes just have to tweak some things here and maybe step through a few functions a few times, but without ever running the code? I'm not buying it. And even if they did, I come out way ahead this way. A non-tested code base is going to be harder to modify. I have hundreds of passing tests now that will tell me if subsequent changes break anything.
There is no specific element of the process that naturally pushes me away from the happy path — you wind up creating tests for exceptional/edge cases the way you would without TDD (I guess that's not strictly a con, just a lack of pro).
It becomes easier to keep plodding away at an ultimately unworkable design – it's already hard to throw work you've put in away, and now you're generating twice as much code.
Correcting tests that have been altered by changing requirements is magnified since your first code often turns out not to be correct — I find myself refactoring tests as often as code in the early going.
Has the potential to slow development when you're new to the process — I suppose one might look at this as a time investment to be paid off when you get more fluid and used to doing it.
Regarding (1) and (3), this seems not to be the issue that I thought it would be. I had grown used to a fast flurry trying out a class concept, and realizing what refactorings needed to be done on the fly, causing it to morph very quickly. I had gotten very proficient at ongoing refactoring without the red-green preceding it, so, in this way, I was able to 'fake' the TDD benefit. However, I realized a paradoxical benefit – TDD forced me to slow down at the beginning. But rather than really slowing me down on the whole, it just made me toss out fewer designs. I still refactor with it, but it isn't necessary as often. The TDD forces me to say "what do I want out of this method/class" rather than to say "what should this do and how should it relate to others". The difference is subtle, but interesting. The TDD way, I'm looking at each method as an atom and each class as a unit, whereas the other way I'm putting the cart a bit before the horse and looking at larger interactions. I thought this was a benefit, but it resulted in more scratch out work during prototyping than was really necessary. I was concerned that TDD would force me to throw away more code because I'd be tossing tests as well as code, but in reality, I just toss less code.
Regarding (2), this has sorted itself out as well. TDD does tend to lead you down the happy path as you're using it to incrementally correct and refine a method's behavior, but there's nothing that stops you from tossing in along with that a thought of "how do I want this to handle an exception in a method that it calls?" This, I'm finding is a discipline and one that I luckily brought with me from testing after or testing during. It is not incompatible with TDD, though TDD does help me not get carried away focusing on corner cases (which can be ferreted out with tools like Pex or smoke tests later).
Regarding (4), this has also proved not to be too much of an issue, though I have seen a touch of this. But, the issue really comes in when it turns out that I don't need some class, rather than a swath of tests. TDD helps my classes be better thought out and more decoupled, and so, I've found that when I'm cutting things, it tends to be surgical rather than a bloodbath.
Regarding (5), this is true, but I've fought through the burn. However, there is another thing that goes on here that I'd point out to people considering a foray into TDD. Imagine the scenario that I described above, and that you're the non-TDD hare and I'm the TDD tortoise. I'm plodding along, red-green-refactoring my parser when you've finished yours. You're probably running it on an actual file and making changes while I'm still working methodically. By the time I'm finished with my parser and doing the formatting, you've got your formatting finished and are working on the database. By the time I get to the database, you've already got things working 90%, and are busy stepping through the debugger and cursing the OleDbCommand API.
But, that's where things start to get interesting. Often times, in my experience, this is the part of development that has you at the office late, pulling your hair out. The application is 90% done at 4:00, and you're happy because you just need to make a minor tweak. Suddenly, it's 8:00 and you're hungry and cranky and cursing because no one is left in the office. That's a brutal 4 hours specifically because you imagined in to be 20 minutes at 4:00. But, let's say you finally get it and go home. I'll finish an hour or so after you and you win the first leg of the race, though I'll do it without a lot of fanfare and frustration, since I'm never hitting snags like that with my methodical process.
But now, an interesting thing happens. We send our versions out for Beta testing, and the issues start coming back. You have your own knowledge of your code to go on as you fix defects and perform minor refactorings, while I have 100% code coverage. I quickly find issues, fix them, see all green and am ready to deliver. You quickly find issues, fix them, and then run the application a bunch of times in different scenarios trying to ferret out anything that you could possibly have broken. I'm gaining on you fast. And, I'm going to keep gaining on you as the software grows. If Beta lasts more than a short time, I'll win. If there are multiple versions of the software, I'll win easily. At some point, I'll lap you as you spend way more time repairing defects you're introducing with each change than fixing the one you set out to fix. The time investment isn't new TDD versus seasoned TDD. It's a little time up front for a lot of time later.
I had tried TDD in the past, but I think I wasn't ready or doing it right. Now, I'm convinced that it's definitely the path for me. Somewhere, I saw a presentation recently that mentioned sort of an arc of unit testing. People tend to start out with test-last, and then move to test during, then test-first and then test-driven, according to this presentation (I wish I remember whose it was so I could link and give credit). I think my previous issue was that I had short circuited the arc and was trying to assimilate too much all at once. If you're a developer trying to convince others of the merits of unit tests, TDD might be a lot to spring on them up front.
I was thinking about why that might be, and something occurred to me from way back in my undergrad days. The first thing we all tend to do is want to write all of the code at once. Since we're given small assignments to start, this works. It's hard to turn bubble sort into a lot of different feedback passes — you write the whole thing and then debug the 'finished' product. As classes get harder, you try to keep this dream alive, but at some point you have the "aha" moment that you need to get shorter feedback cycles to prevent assembling the whole thing and getting it all wrong. So, you do this by making your code modular and developing components. That carries you through into the early part of your career, and you have a natural tendency to want to get code up and running as quickly as possible for feedback. Then, TDD comes along and changes the nature of the feedback altogether. You're no longer getting the feedback from your running application, but from your unit tests of small components. So, if you're building a house app, you don't start with the House class and run it. Instead, you start with a "Bedroom" class, or even a "Bed" class. While your counterparts are adding rooms to their running houses, you're getting your "Bed" class working flawlessly. And, while they're cobbling furniture into their rooms, you're assembling rooms from their furniture. When they're debugging, you're finally ready for your first "F5" feedback. But, you haven't come full circle and turned into that freshman with bubble sort – you've gotten real feedback every 30 seconds or so. You've gotten so much feedback, that there's little anticipation with the first real run of the component you're working on for that week. You're pretty sure it's going to work and you're going to be heading home at 5:00.
So, yeah, I guess I'm a TDD convert, and will eat some crow for my earlier posts.

Death of Pattan resident: Family stages protest, asks police to identify culprits
Srinagar: The family and relatives of Pattan resident who was found dead recently, Tuesday took to streets and demanded identification of the culprits.
The body of the deceased identified as Jan Muhammad, was found after more than 14 days since he went missing. His body was found from a local stream.
Jan was a driver by profession.
The family alleged that police had failed to identify the culprits so far.
"We demand that those involved in the act be identified and be dealt with strictly," a relative said.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Baramulla, Abdul Qayoom told reporters that they were "busy in election process" due to which they couldn't investigate the case properly.
He however, added several arrests including that of "one prime suspect" were made in this regard.
"It will take a week's time to identify the involved persons in the act," he added. (KNS)

Apple Teams in Leopard Server
Wednesday August 9, 2006 1:39 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
The presence of a Teams project at Mac OS Forge prompted a lot of speculation about what Apple's "Teams" could be.
An update describes Teams as "feature of Mac OS X Server, slated for Leopard (10.5). Among its features, it includes a web-based calendar client which works with the Calendar Server."
Apple's Eric Zelenka offers some additional details on the OS X Server mailing list:
Teams is a revolutionary new way for people to work together. Teams lets people share contacts, resources, information and communicate more effectivelyas a team.
With Teams, groups receive their own website--an online Wiki Server-- listing the latest news, upcoming events and providing people access to online documents. This Wiki-powered website makes it easy for people within the group to create and edit web page content, hyperlink and crosslink between page and maintain history of all past changes. In addition, this group website provides web-based access to a shared group calendar, and a blog communication and podcasting.
But thats not all. Launching the new Teams Directory application gives you access to shared accounts for people, groups, locations and resources within your organization. You can use Teams Directory to find information, or define new shared contacts, assign people to groups and logically organize groups based on hierarchy. With Teams Directory you can define office locations complete with searchable building and location maps, as well as manage shared resources such as conference rooms and projectors.
Apple's Leopard Server Sneak Peak pages provide some screenshots of the features described.

In particular, he is concerned that the current model being debated by 'trailblazer' groups doesn't fully take into account the funding, administrative and most importantly, skills needs of smaller businesses.
"The Government has clearly demonstrated its support of apprenticeships, calling for them to be viewed as equally valid alternatives to A levels and university programmes", Nash said. "And we believe that the 'new norm', as the Government is calling apprenticeships, is already being adopted by many employers in the automotive retail sector, with our latest analysis showing that there was a 4.2 per cent increase in apprenticeship starts in 2012/13.

CM gets a mention in American Anthropologist
by Jovan Maud
As evidence of the growing recognition of blogging as an important medium for scholarly exchange, American Anthropologist has published a review article (PDF) about anthropology blogging by David Price. Okay, the article is primarily about Savage Minds, Zero Anthropology and the triple-A's own blog, but I was more than chuffed to see Culture Matters also got a mention when Price referred to the "high scholarship shown in detailed and thoughtful postings and exchanges by scholars". It's very nice indeed to be mentioned in the same breath as Savage Minds, which is after all the blog we'd like to be when we grow up.
I was alerted to the article by Rex's equally chuffed post on Savage Minds, which also led him to post some interesting reflections on the qualities that make for good "public anthropology". In short, good public anthropology is not about dumbing down the material and insights; it is simply good anthropology that is well written and sensitive to its audience. Rex also reckons that there is a lot more talk about doing public anthropology than actually doing it. I can't disagree with him there, though these are important discussions to have.
It's also interesting that there is so much discussion about public anthropology. It indexes a certain level of anxiety about how to do it "correctly", as it were. Clearly there are a lot of anthropologists out there who want to be "engaged" in one sense or another, and who feel a strong desire to be "relevant", but feel frustrated that the important things they have to say don't seem to capture a wider public imagination. And this notion that anthropology should be engaged is something that motivates many to join the discipline in the first place. Certainly a lot of students are motivated to study anthropology by the vague sense that it can help to make a positive difference in the world. Many, however, become jaded with writing and attitudes towards the subject matter which almost seems to be designed to endlessly defer action. Bad or obscure writing is one issue. But I also think one of anthropology's great strengths — the ability to use rich ethnographic data to speak from the particular and challenge received truths or all-too-neat models and theories — can also be part of the problem. In this mode, anthropological critique can become an endless repetition of the refrain that "things are more complicated than that", especially in this era where even anthropology's own universalising tendencies — its models of human universals and meta-theoretical frameworks — have long since become thoroughly suspect. This situation is going to be frustrating for those who want to use anthropological knowledge and methods in a more programmatic way, but I would also suggest non-anthropologists also find this frustrating.
Perhaps anthropological discourse that attempts to engage in public debate works in precisely the opposite way to other kinds of popular scientific discourse. Surely a lot of people like popular scientific literature is because it takes things that they recognise are very complex and simplifies them, making them more graspable and manageable. Anthropology often works in the opposite direction, taking things that people think are relatively simple and pointing out that they're a lot more complex. The process of denaturalisation that is so core to the anthropological project, and which many of "us anthropologists" find so stimulating, is just plain annoying for a lot of people.
Perhaps this is a good thing, perhaps we need this. Perhaps it is important that anthropologists challenge reified notions of identity, or static notions of culture. Perhaps it's a worthy job to remind people that identities are fluid, changeable, indeterminate — that any theory seeking to stabilise these notions is looking for trouble. Perhaps we help to keep the social body nice and limber, able to deal with change and diversity. But I'd say we're never going to be wildly popular in this mode.

I guess it was nice that AA featured a short paper on blogging, but I found it somewhat insulting to anthropological bloggers. First, it was very short. Second, Price spent most of the text on trivial matters of internet discourse that everybody already knows. He devoted only 5 paragraphs to the blogs. The three paragraphs on Savage Minds were ok, but there was little space for comment in the single paragraphs on Zero Anthropology and the AAA Blog. There was no space in the piece of any kind of analysis of what goes on in anthropological blogging, how it relates to other lines of communication in the discpline, etc. Perhaps getting some space is better than silence, but I still don't think that mainstream anthropologists take blogging seriously.

I wonder if anthropology could reach the "public" better if it sometimes let down its analytical ambitions and foregrounded its evocative/empathic possibilities. I suppose anthropology's strength is the combination of the two. It can complicate matters for the "general reader" not just by analytical deconstruction but also by creating unexpected empathies in ways that are more akin to art or fiction.
Writers and commentators like Krugman, David Brooks, and Thomas Friedman get quite a lot of air time–partly because of the fact that they participate in mediums that the public reads. I think it would be a good thing to hear from the James Fergusons and Leo Chavez's and Anna Tsings of the world now again, especially considering the ways in which social and cultural issues are often discussed.
Part of the issue is that few people outside of anthropology (and a few other disciplines) actually reads the main anthropological publications. You certainly don't see American Anthropologist at Barnes and Noble–so how is the public supposed to have any clue what anthropologists are talking about.
For that reason, I think blogs are a good start–at least toward reworking how anthropologists communicate and use media. Maybe it would be interesting to come up with an anthropological answer to publications such as The Economist and Foreign Affairs.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Michael, I agree that the article didn't contain anything that people familiar with anthro blogs don't already know. But here in Australia at least there are a lot of anthropologists who are as yet not at all familiar with blogs. Any attempts to reach that particular audience and bring blogs more into the anthropological mainstream is, I think, a Good Thing.
TTD, I agree with you. I'm not sure to what extent the whole "making the strange familiar and the familiar strange" — an ambition that anthropology shares with art movements like surrealism — is recognised as an affective process. Also, the process of "conversion" that a lot of students report, of becoming suddenly "switched on" to anthropology, is also very affect laden. It's probably worth thinking more about the role affect plays in constructing anthropological, though I don't think this should be opposed to anthropology's "analytical ambitions". To drop analysis entirely would render our writing as something other than anthropological, though I don't necessarily think that analysis and theory need be all that overt.
Finally, thanks Ryan for pointing out that it's not just important what anthropologists write, but where their writing appears. This point reminds me of a recent post by ckelty on Savage Minds which emphasised the technical aspects of getting writing out to a wider public, i.e. working out how the media works as a system, being more proactive in sending out press releases, hiring competent science writers who understand the genre conventions in order to get the message out and so on. The general insight is that the secret is not just to be found in the style of writing or the choice of subject matter — though these are naturally important — but also by recognising and exploiting the mechanisms through which any scholarly writing comes into the wider public sphere.
