Claire Armitage
Photography as
Emotional Expression
Purchase Ticket – £ Free
Details – Claire Armitage – Photography and Emotional Expression
Every photograph should have a little piece of the photographer in it. Photography as an art should be about passion, passion for your subject and passion for the process. Emotion is at the centre of this, emotion that the photographer puts into it and the emotion that the viewer feels – the two may not be same thing but that doesn't matter.
Self-portraiture in photography is as old as photography itself. It's not about randomly making selfies but is an artform in its own right and can allow the artist to have complete control over the scene they are presenting. It has been done by many famous photographers for lots of different reasons – it can be autobiographical, a voyage into the photographers inner psyche, or to explore a specific set of emotions. Other photographers use the self portrait to make comments on societal roles.
In this talk Claire will discuss her latest 365 project and about how emotion is at the centre of this and using the project to tell a personal story.

About Ami:
Ami is an Indonesian living in Scotland. Her passion for Street photography started in 2010 and since then she goes out, practises and spend time outdoor for my own curiosity. She believes everyone has ability to take street photography but there are some key skills that people don't always have which are being passionate in photography, willing to learn and believing in yourself.
She is a self-taught photographer, learning a lot through mistakes and experiments on the street. Bad weather doesn't stop her going out taking photos, she sees that as a challenge.
Since 2017 she has been running Street Photography workshops, mostly in Edinburgh and Glasgow and most recently in York. She loves to teach street photography, especially seeing her attendees gaining confidence and falling in love with what they do.

"I didn't want to be a photographer"
A talk about Sarah's journey to becoming a story teller from a photographer. She will talk about how she uses photography to connect with other people to tell their stories, and how I am able to get a connection from real people through psychology and body language.
About Sarah:
Sarah has been a photographer for 15 years and started her wedding photography business 10 years ago. 5 years ago, Red Shoe was born, a female photography studio based in Chester.

Her journey is now heading towards becoming a speaker for men's mental health after losing her beautiful fiancé to this illness last September. When she is asked how long she has been working in mental health… she would say the past 5 years. She believes that photography is 90% psychology and 10% mechanical.
Sarah believes the portrait to be an incredible powerful tool in helping people.

Tom Stoddart – "Every Picture Tells A Story"
Come and listen to one of worlds most respected photojournalists talk about his 49 years in the industry. This will be an exciting and fascinating insight into a career that began when Fleet Street was still at its height, through his coverage of many of the worlds' major wars, disasters and political events through to his current work much closer to home in the North East.
About Tom:
Tom Stoddart began his photographic career on a local newspaper in his native North-East of England. In 1978 he moved to London to work as a staff photographer in Fleet Street and later freelanced for publications such as the Sunday Times and Time Magazine.
During a long and varied career he has witnessed such international events as the war in Lebanon, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of President Nelson Mandela, the bloody siege of Sarajevo, the wars against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
In 1997 Tony Blair gave Stoddart exclusive behind the scenes access to his election campaign as the Labour Party swept to victory after 18 years of Conservative government in the United Kingdom.
Over the years Tom has worked with charities and NGO's such as Medecins Sans Frontieres, Oxfam, Christian Aid, Care International and Sightsavers. His extensive work on the catastrophic AIDS pandemic blighting Africa has been widely published and exhibited.
His photography has been honoured with awards from World Press Photo, Visa pour l'image, Pictures Of The Year and the Eddie Adams Workshop. In 2006 he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society.
In 2012 his 'Perspectives' retrospective outdoor exhibition was displayed at London's South Bank and attracted 225,000 visitors.
Now established as one of the worlds most respected photojournalists, Stoddart is represented by, and works closely with Getty Reportage, to produce powerful photo-essays on the serious world issues of our time.

"In between Tech
and Story"
Details – Sean Tucker – "In between Tech and Story"
Sean gives a frank telling of his own journey with photography, taking an especially deep dive into the point where his focus switched from learning techniques and obsessing over gear, to being driven to find better stories to tell. If you've spent hours watching YouTube tutorials, and thousands of pounds on new gear, but you're still feeling stuck and frustrated, this might be the shift in focus you need to take your photography on to the next stage of the journey.
About Sean Tucker:
Sean is a Photographer and Filmmaker who runs a successful freelance business and a growing online presence where he seeks to inspire like-minded creatives coming up the ladder behind. His YouTube channel in particular has grown to over 100k subscribers with over 2.5 million views, and he has an Instagram following of over 50k followers. Sean creates a vibrant and positive community online which talks about how to pursue your dream of making the thing you love to do, the thing you get paid for.
Sean has a strong emphasis in all his video and speaking on being authentic and self-aware in your work, because, in a world of reality TV and vlogging, people are now hyper-aware of artifice, and can smell a sale pitch a mile away. To build an audience now takes honesty, integrity and vulnerability, and these are by words which Sean not only practices in his own work but preaches to other others as well.

Lee Glasgow
"If you are easily

Details – Lee Glasgow – "If you are easily offended, then please gather round!"
"If you are easily offended, then please gather round!"
With over 400 weddings under his belt, Lee has photographed all kinds of people, from all kinds of backgrounds!
The one thing that has given him confidence, is his honesty with his clients, those within the industry, but above all with himself! In this mad world of political correctness, his talk will be a celebration of frank speaking and learning that your USP is simply a celebration of yourself. Your clients will be attracted to the real you, not the hipster you're trying to be.
About Lee:
In Lee's Religious Studies school report, it said "Lee has faith, but charity is needed when marking his work!" This quote pretty much sums up his childhood education experience.
From the age of 16, he entered the print trade and after passing his three year apprenticeship in reprographics and origination, he went onto creating artwork for many different applications including magazines, packaging, labels and commercial print. That industry gave him an eye for detail and more importantly an eye for what is commercially required – "What Looks Good". His images and reputation are his qualifications, Lee has always been humble with his talent, because he believes the moment he thinks he is the finished article, then it's time to give up!
He loves all the different kinds of personalities he meets through his wedding photography from the barking mad to the painfully shy and even the grumpy ones. If he wasn't a wedding photographer he would love to be a psychologist as people's minds are intriguing, but this may be because he is nosey too.

Details – Michelle Szpak – Bikes, Lights and Photography
A pinch of creativity, a dash of lighting mixed together with some motorcycles…. An insight into motorcycle photography.
Michelle will discuss how a shoot works for her from start to finish. The planning, creativity and ideas, the shoot and the final images. The talk will include a few detailed behind the scenes illustrations and will discuss different lighting ideas and how important light is to create the image you have in your mind. How to think out the box when considering your ideas and how to keep that creativity going.
Michelle will talk from the heart about her work, her passions with the industry and the ups and downs, including some tips to keep you moving forward.
About Michelle:
Michelle is a professional photographer, and Flash Centre Ambassador and has been photographing for 13 years , she now specialises in Motorcycle Photography.
She has been on quite a journey over the years, from starting a high street studio back in October 2009, then moving to bigger premises with staff in March 2011 (becoming a finalist in several business awards) and then on to making the leap to close the doors in 2014 to achieve a lifelong dream of living by the sea and make the transition from family portraiture (which she does still photograph for some of her life long clients) to motorcycles.
There have been many highs and lows on her journey, a never-ending learning curve and a lot of knowledge on the importance of having work life balance – even if your work is one of your passions. It's important to Michelle to get this message across to other photographers and help them to believe in themselves, their work and keep them from losing their creativity.

Ditlev Gothard Monrad, né à Copenhague le  et mort à Nykøbing Falster le , est un homme d'Église et homme d'État danois. Personnalité marquante du mouvement de réformes que connaît le Danemark au milieu du , plusieurs fois ministre à partir de 1848, il est de 1863 à 1864 à la tête du gouvernement qui conduit son pays au désastre dans la guerre des Duchés. La Nouvelle-Zélande, où il se retire ensuite jusqu'en 1869, en a retenu la figure d'un pionnier défricheur et d'un amateur d'art généreux.

Biographie
Né à Copenhague le 24 novembre 1811, Ditlev Gothard Monrad est issu par son père, Otto Sommer Monrad, d'une longue lignée de théologiens et d'hommes de loi : y figure notamment Jacob Monrad, l'un des artisans de l'introduction du luthéranisme au Danemark. Enfant, il vit chez une tante, à Præstø. Élève talentueux, il est envoyé poursuivre sa scolarité à Vordingborg. Il entre à l'université de Copenhague en 1831, pour des études de théologie qui le conduisent jusqu'à la maîtrise ès arts. Il y adjoint l'étude des langues orientales, où il acquiert la pratique du sanscrit, de l'hébreu, du syriaque et de l'arabe. Un séjour à Paris complète son cursus universitaire.

Encore étudiant, il traverse une crise spirituelle qu'il surmonte en s'engageant politiquement dans le courant libéral.

Devenu pasteur luthérien, Ditlev Monrad prend part au mouvement de réforme des années 1830 et 1840, dont les mots d'ordre sont la limitation du pouvoir monarchique et la mise en place d'un régime parlementaire.

En 1840, il épouse Marie Lytthans, fille d'un entrepreneur en bâtiment de Copenhague. La même année, il lance le journal . Jugés brillants, ses articles en faveur des idées libérales aboutissent en pratique, en 1841, à l'interdiction du journal, à la confiscation de ses écrits et à sa censure personnelle.

Avec Orla Lehmann, il assure la direction du Parti national libéral, fondé dans les années 1840.

De 1843 à 1846, il publie l'hebdomadaire libéral Dansk Folkeblad.

Nommé en 1846 pasteur de Vester-Ulslev, en Lolland, il revient rapidement à Copenhague pour prendre part aux travaux de la Diète (Staender).

En 1848, il est désigné à la première assemblée citoyenne de la ville : il se passionne pour la réforme de l'éducation et effectue de nombreux voyages pour étudier les méthodes d'enseignement.

En , des manifestations forcent le roi Frédéric  à demander une constitution.

Ditlev Monrad est le principal auteur du texte constitutionnel qui met fin à la monarchie absolue.

Le 22 mars, il est nommé ministre des Affaires religieuses, poste qu'il occupe jusqu'au 10 novembre.

À cette date, incapable de soutenir la politique d'annexion que prône son parti et qui conduit à la guerre du Schleswig de 1848-1850, il démissionne. Cependant il s'efforce de créer les conditions de la participation démocratique la plus large à l'élection de l'assemblée constituante de 1848-1849.

En 1849, il se présente aux premières élections parlementaires démocratiques : il est élu sans opposition au Parlement (Rigsdag), dont il restera membre jusqu'en 1865. Il est nommé la même année évêque du diocèse de Lolland-Falster, charge dont il sera démis en 1854, en butte à une vague de réaction conservatrice contre la Constitution.

En 1859, il participe à nouveau à un gouvernement libéral, en tant que ministre de l'Enseignement et des Affaires religieuses, du 6 mai au 2 décembre. Deux mois plus tard, de Paris où il s'était rendu avec sa famille, il est rappelé pour former un nouveau cabinet, où il prend le portefeuille des Affaires religieuses et par intérim celui de l'Intérieur.

En , à la veille de la Guerre des Duchés, il devient Premier ministre d'un nouveau gouvernement. Partisan de la lutte à outrance contre la Prusse et l'Autriche, il dirige le Danemark dans la désastreuse guerre contre la Confédération germanique. Tenu pour responsable de la défaite danoise et de la perte des duchés de Schleswig et de Holstein, il est renvoyé en .

Soumis à une intense critique, Ditlev Monrad quitte le Danemark le  avec sa famille pour chercher refuge en Nouvelle-Zélande. Là-bas, il achète  de brousse dans le Karere Block, près du futur site de . Vivant d'abord sous une hutte de terre, il construit une maison de planches et se lance dans le défrichage. Il introduit vaches et moutons et s'essaie à la culture du tabac. Il avait emporté avec lui de nombreux trésors artistiques, et son installation dans le  dénué de route fait figure d'oasis de modernité. Quand son travail se trouve interrompu par les incursions vers le sud des  de Titokowaru, il enterre ses précieuses possessions et part avec sa famille pour Wellington, avant d'en repartir pour le Danemark où ils arrivent le . En partant, Monrad offre au Secrétaire colonial une collection de gravures et de croquis de grands maîtres, dont Rembrandt, Rubens, Dürer et van Dyck, qui figurent aujourd'hui dans les collections de la  à Wellington. Ses fils Viggo et Johannes retourneront à Karere pour y poursuivre l'exploitation agricole.

De retour au Danemark, Ditlev Monrad dessert pendant deux ans une paroisse de Seeland, puis reprend l'évêché de Lolland. Il est à nouveau élu au Parlement, où il siège de 1882 à 1886 dans l'opposition au gouvernement de droite de J.B.S. Estrup. Il meurt le 28 mars 1887, à Nykøbing Falster.

We all love Rain and we all like playing in rain. Music of rain always gives a nice feel. Now here we are providing a realistic rainy music.. which u can use for relaxation... This sound clip doesn't have any artificial music.. purely recorded from the nature.. Play it and sleep well at night..


Looking for an easy fix after a long run?! I've got a simple, healthy and nutritionally packed granola bar recipe that will not only aid in replenishing some of the loss of nutrients after a hard workout, but it will also satisfy your taste buds… something the whole family will enjoy!
Speaking of family, raising 4 boys is not an easy chore. This is all new to me since I grew up with 2 sisters and only 1 brother. Getting accustomed to the testosterone level is a gradual process for sure. I am realizing a few things… boys don't hug they wrestle, they don't talk they scream, they don't compliment each other they tease and they definitely don't sit still they stand, jump and sometimes hang… especially at dinnertime. As much as it drives me crazy at times, I love it all the same… welcome to my life.
Since we are a very active household, it is important to maintain a balanced diet. Creating a nutritious snack is crucial for our health and well being. I have discovered there are several options and I used some of them to make this healthy granola bar recipe.
Nuts and Seeds – contain good fats called mono- and polyunsaturated fats. These fats help manage inflammation and maintaining the normal structure of every cell in our body. They are also high in protein which will help build muscle.
Dried Fruit – water is extracted from the fruit making the nutrients in raisins more concentrated. Rich in dietary fiber, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, minerals, vitamins, and other micronutrients… but most important their fat content is low!
Apple – along with the numerous amounts of vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, an apple polyphenols can make it easier to regulate blood sugar levels.
Lucuma – is a subtropical fruit of the pouteria lucuma tree, which is native to Peru. It used as a gluten-free sweetener and is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Lucuma may have anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and skin-repair effects on human skin.
Next time you are looking for a healthy snack to make you should definitely give this recipe a try!
The combination of these ingredients will make a simple snack that is nutritious and tastes great. A wonderful gluten-free and vegan option for a post workout replenisher or a healthy treat to hold you over until your next meal.
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.
In a pot add maple syrup, almond butter, apple butter and vanilla extract. Mix frequently over medium/low heat until all the ingredients are combined.
Add the wet ingredients with the dry ones and mix them all together.
Pour the combined ingredients into pyrex, preferable a square 8x8in size and smooth it down with a spatula. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Did you ever hear of lucuma?
Did you ever try hanging at dinnertime?
Yummy. We'll be sure to try these!
Wow! This sounds like the perfect snack. My daughter and I both love apples and eat them every day. Also, there are so many health benefits that Cinnamon is linked to. We will be making this, for sure!
Thank you. I'm so happy to hear that you will make them.
I can't wait to try it! I love anything with cinnamon.
I'm so glad you will try it!
This is a great portable snack for the beach. I bet you these snacks get your boys off the pull up bar!
It definitely is a great portable treat. I pack them for the kids because they love it!
I really want to try this recipe!! It looks so so good!!! I am going to try it once we have all of the ingredients. You put so much work into this website and your photos look like a professional took them!!! We miss you!!

This Year, I'm Thankful for . . . 'The Lost World's' Sarah Harding (and Also Michael Crichton)
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we often find ourselves becoming more introspective, reflecting on the people and things for which we are thankful. As we at Fanbase Press celebrate fandoms, this year, the Fanbase Press staff and contributors have chosen to honor their favorite fandoms, characters, or other elements of geekdom for which they are thankful, and how those areas of geekiness have shaped their lives and values.
Since my teenage years, I've been both a massive fan of Jurassic Park and of author Michael Crichton himself. While I absolutely adore director Steven Spielberg's classic film and can even appreciate the sequels that followed, as a Jurassic Park fan, there have always been many scenes, events, and character elements from Crichton's novels that I've preferred over the cinematic adaptions. The Jurassic Park and The Lost World novels are more mature, more cerebral, more complex, and have a grimly violent edge to them that has been very much softened onscreen. While Crichton's novels may not be every Jurassic Park fan's cup of tea, it has kept me revisiting these books again and again over the years.
Recently, while consuming Crichton's The Lost World once more, I became keenly aware of how Crichton's depiction of women, specifically Sarah Harding in The Lost World, helped to define my view of women in the same way that characters like Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor did during my younger years. As a young man who idolized and cherished these characters as heroes, it was always surprising to me when my male peers struggled to accept women (peers or not) as capable, resourceful, intelligent, or strong. While I'm sure many factors played a part in constructing my world view and feelings on the opposite sex, given how powerful an impact genre stories and characters have had throughout my life, I'm extremely thankful for the kind of female representation Crichton wrote into one of my very favorite fandoms, as I'm sure many fellow fans are, as well.
For those who have only seen The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Spielberg's cinematic sequel, it's important to understand that Crichton's novel only has the most basic similarities to the film adaptation. While Julianne Moore is a gifted actor and does a fine job portraying the character of Sarah Harding in the film, the character herself is written very differently in the novel, and I have always found myself preferring that version. While Moore's character has a paleontological background, the Harding of the novel is an animal behaviorist who studies predators like lions and hyenas in the African savanna. Her theories are controversial, yet respected, and she's well known for her work, so much so that she's a hero and idol of the teenage Kelly even before they meet. Harding is described as having short black hair and an athletic, muscular frame, which also plays into the fact that in Crichton's book, she's basically the "action lead" on a team of all-male scientists.
The "strong female character" trope is nothing new at this point in genre fiction, and it really wasn't anything new in 1995 when The Lost World novel was released either. Still, the author succeeds with his depiction of Harding because of the grounded, relatable approach present in all of his novels. Harding isn't an unbelievable master warrior or hyper-skilled "super" person, but she's still the most capable and heroic character in the book. And, in what was an unusual choice for the time, Harding is easily the most physically adept member of the team. The other members of the expedition to Isla Sorna (a.k.a. Site B - Ingen Technologies secret "dinosaur factory") in Crichton's novel are very much what you'd expect from a "real-world" team of scientists in regards to physical prowess. While all members of the group are brilliant scientists at the top of their fields, only Harding gets to play the traditional "action hero" role. Paleontologist Richard Levine is intelligent and bold, but selfish and easily rattled. Doc Thorne is a technological whiz and full of heart, but the older man couldn't beat Harding in a foot race, let alone keep up with her physical abilities. And our old friend, Ian Malcolm, is an aging figure who suffers panic attacks due to the Tyrannosaur attack he experienced in the first book and now walks with a cane because of those near-fatal injuries. Malcolm continues to be a great mouth piece for Crichton and is still one of The Lost World's most interesting characters, but he is nowhere near the physical hero actor Jeff Goldblum plays in Spielberg's sequel, instead suffering another major injury in the T-Rex/trailer attack and spending the majority of the second half of the novel theorizing while high on morphine. While there are plenty of "damsels in distress" in the novel, they are almost all exclusively male, and it is Harding that Crichton unapologetically has come to the rescue again and again. It's Harding who activates the electronic shock defense of the trailer, ending the Tyrannosaur attack, and then pulls the broken and bloodied Malcolm from the wreckage, saving his life. It's Harding that uses a motorcycle to chase down an escaping velociraptor in one of the most tense and action-filled moments of the novel. And it's Harding who refuses to abandon hope in the final chapters and goes the extra distance to secure a vehicle that allows the team to escape the island with their lives. Over and over again, it's Harding who refuses to quit in every scenario. It's clear this woman is a survivor and that without her, the other members of her team would have almost certainly perished on the island at several turns.
While Crichton has Harding save Malcolm, the character many would consider the "hero" of the book, he also has her defeat the villain of the story in one of the coldest, yet well-deserved, moments of revenge put to page. Readers may remember the character of Lewis Dodgson from his sole scene in Spielberg's film where he meets with disgruntled Jurassic Park employee Dennis Nedry (played by actor Wayne Knight), bestowing him with a bag of cash and a very special shaving cream can. Dodgson works for the Ingen corporation's competitor, Bio-Syn, and, in Crichton's novels, has earned a reputation for his unethical and cutthroat tactics in his mission to "acquire" new genetic technology for this employer. Ingen's genetically engineered dinosaurs have been a want of his for some time and in Crichton's The Lost World, it is Dodgson, not Ingen itself, who returns to Isla Sorna with a plan to harvest the animals. Dodgson actually attempts to murder Harding about a third way into the novel, bashing her head against a metal railing and throwing her overboard into the churning seas, but she manages to survive and return the favor. When she finds herself hiding from a Tyrannosaur underneath a car with the would be murderer, she makes the quick decision to use her legs to push him out from their hiding spot, purposefully exposing Dodgson to a Tyrannosaur. The beast quickly scoops up the Carter Burke of the Jurassic Park universe and takes the terrified man back to its nest and hungry brood.
But, make no mistake, Harding is no Laura Croft, and her value as a character doesn't amount to just her ability to drive a motorcycle, save everyone's butts, and generally kick ass. Crichton writes Harding as perceptive, intelligent, confident, compassionate, and fiercely independent. In short, Harding is not so much a "strong" female character as she is a complex one. She is rightfully respected by her male colleagues. She has a romantic past with Malcolm, and while they share some subtle moments of affection, the relationship never defines Harding and is barely present in the novel. When Kelly (who is a teen girl, but not Malcolm's daughter in the novel) witnesses a velociraptor escape with a vital key caught in its mouth, it's not only Harding who finally listens to the panicked youth, but she also empowers the younger woman by informing her that she will have to fire the rifle while Harding drives the motorcycle, trusting that Kelly is more capable than even the girl believes herself to be. And Harding's influence on the younger woman (and probably the younger women who read the novel) doesn't end there. In one fantastic scene, when Kelly first meets her idol, Harding has a fascinating interaction with the thirteen-year-old girl, where the middle-schooler confides how her peers tease her for being a "brainer" and, at home, her mother tells her men don't like women who are "too smart." While Harding was a hero of Kelly's before, the adult clearly sees a bit of herself in the girl and makes their first conversation especially meaningful by giving Kelly some great advice and encouragement. She praises the girl for not knowing what she wants to do yet as a career, stating, "Nobody smart knows what they want to do until they get into their twenties or thirties," and pushes back on the misogyny of teachers who've told Kelly the girls aren't supposed to be good at mathematics. Harding confides that her own mother used to tell her she'd never amount to anything and passes an important lesson to Kelly:
"So, Kelly, even at your young age, there's something you might as well learn now. All your life, people will tell you things. And most of the time, probably ninety-five percent of the time, what they'll tell you will be wrong."
While these scenes and messages certainly had an effect on me as a young boy, I can't help but imagine that Crichton crafted them knowing that young women would also be reading his novels and knowing that true representation of smart, capable female characters, the kind who were depicted taking pride in their intelligence and skills, were in short supply. In many ways, they unfortunately continue to be.
Representation like this does have a positive effect on all genders and in ways that are quite unpredictable. We fans hold these stories and characters close to our hearts, and there are many out there who, like me, have let the influence of their favorite fandoms weave its way into their lives in unexpected ways. For example, while I do tend to prefer the book version of Sarah Harding, there's one specific bit of dialogue spoken by the cinematic depiction of the character that has stuck with me since my teenage years. In the film, Malcolm races to the island when he discovers his girlfriend, Harding, has already gone to the island alone to study dinosaurs in their natural habitat. When he arrives, terrified for her safety, her reaction is somewhat flippant and not what he expects. Harding states the following to him:
"If you wanted to rescue me from something, why didn't you bail me out of that fundraiser at the museum three weeks ago, like you said you would? Or, why not rescue me from that dinner with your parents that you never showed up for? Or why not rescue me when I really need it; actually be there when you say you will?"
It's a tiny, simplistic moment, but it caused at least one teenage boy to reconsider his own assumptions about the definitions of "heroism" and examine what's really required to be equals within a loving and respectful relationship.
Ultimately, I feel like I knew a lot of young women that shared many of Harding's traits when I was reading The Lost World as a teen and, even today, I continue to find the women in my life to be far more than what's often given to them by Hollywood. While there are many others that are contributing to the cause in various was, this holiday season I will be taking a moment to feel thankful for Sarah Harding and the other complex female characters Crichton has given us.

May 26, 2018 - Outstanding, but was a pop and pour at a restaurant. I'll decant the next one in 3-4 years.
December 19, 2017 - Showed better this time as a pop and pour with 1 hour open. Big extracted wine but hightly structured with nice acidity. Chalky cassis, milk chocolate, blueberry liqueur, cherry syrup, sage, and sharp blackberry are in the foreground. Minerality (graphite) really kick up on the finish adding some freshness. The texture and depth fattened up substantially after an hour open. I'd recommend a short decant (1 or 2 hours) or holding for 5 more years.
October 27, 2017 - Decanted 3 hours and still pretty astringent and short. Still loads of chalky cassis, milk chocolate, cassis liqueur, cherry syrup, minerals, and sharp blackberry. The fruit is ripe but the tannins and structure are slightly overpowering at the moment. Definitely not the fruit bomb this has been in past years. Hold for 5 years plus.
June 8, 2017 - A bit more alcohol than my first bottle, knocking a point off the score. Still, this is an excellent wine, full of blackberries, blueberries, and enough acid and structure to stand up to red meats and strong cheeses. Incredible depth and a very long finish. Highly recommended.

Weighted Stasis (2006; colored pencil and white charcoal on toned paper, 24×18) by Dan Gheno. Click here to pin this figure drawing on Pinterest.
One might be better off not having any talent to start with. Too many people hopelessly fixate on the word "talent."It is not an easily definable word. Talent is an elusive concept that means many things to many people. It can refer to all aspects of the artistic endeavor, including broad, overarching issues of originality and imagination, and the artist's ability to organize interesting color and value relationships. But to most people invoking this mysterious word, "talent" simply represents the ability to make the hand do what the eye sees and the brain wants or, to use a technical term, eye-hand coordination.
Many children are born with strong eye-hand coordination. As a kid, I knew young artists of my generation who could draw circles around me. I had so little eye-hand coordination that my more talented friends suggested I give up drawing and find another mode of creativity. Unfortunately, none of those individuals draw anymore. If you are born with great talent and you never had to fight to train your hand, it's easy to rest on your laurels. As a young artist, it's hard to know that if you don't use a talent, you're condemned to lose it.
As a child, I didn't personally know any adult artists; I looked to the Old Masters for inspiration. I scrutinized Michelangelo's life with exasperation, noting that he already had strong control of the medium by his teenage years. I used to lie in bed at night and fantasize about entering into a time warp, where I could spend a decade developing my eye-hand coordination, then returning to my life as a child with some manual dexterity amassed. I knew the next-best solution was to practice, day in and day out, for at least an hour or two daily until I gained the control I lacked.
I practiced straight lines and circles, cubes and pyramids, drawing them repeatedly with abysmal results. I soon realized that I needed a new strategy. Taking a page from the many how-to manuals popular at the time, I started to copy body parts from Old Master drawings, anatomy books and expert comic-book artists of the 1950s and 1960s, trying to collect a vocabulary of visual shapes, just as a writer tries to build up a base of useful words and phrases. ~D.G.

Which multinational company, State, or coalition can create 24 million jobs by 2030? So far none, and none probably ever will. Who then? The 2018 ILO report Greening with jobs asserts that tackling climate change will create 24 million jobs in less than 12 years all around the globe.
What does it take? One may think such a holy grail can only be the offset of some sort of sacrifice. Actually, all it takes is respecting what we – 195 countries - have already pledged to do in december 2015 in the Paris climate agreement: keeping global warming within a 2°C increase by the end of the century.
To understand how so many jobs could be created in connection with the environment, one must first realize that it is already the case. Should it be for instance through fishing, forestry or farming activities, it's no less than 4 in 10 workers on this planet who depend on nature for their jobs. Thanks to services like pollination, regulation of extreme meteorological events, soil renewal or water purification. Visible or not, nature is everywhere, including in our jobs: threatening our environment and disrupting our climate, it is our very jobs we jeopardize.
Yet, while resolving the climate crisis has long been seen as a burden to share, this report confirms what the recent years have proven: addressing climate change is an opportunity for our societies to thrive. 6 million jobs can derive from managing better our resources and producing less waste to achieve a more circular economy. 18 million jobs can be created from providing households and companies with clean energy. Concretely, in the United States, solar power creates 8 times more jobs than coal and natural gas; Brazil employs almost 900 000 workers in renewable energy.
This opportunity is real but we need to act fast.
It is a challenge, but one that is within our reach if we realize all the benefits to be reaped if we were to take action, and all the impacts that immobilism would compel us to face. According to ILO, it is the equivalent of 72 million full-time jobs that will disappear by 2030 due to heat stress if we don't address climate change, striking first and foremost agricultural activities that so many developing economies depend on.
Inevitably such a drastic change in the economy will entail job destructions, but for every job lost, 4 new ones will be created in the green economy. Yet no single worker should be left by the wayside of this transition, which is why we must anticipate today those evolutions through an enlarged social dialogue to find shared solutions for tomorrow. To be successful those solutions will have to be fair and inclusive, to ensure the ecological transition embraces rural areas as much as urban ones, and offer a future to fossil fuel industry workers as much as green economy ones.
It is now up to every one of us to look at what the facts say to us: the environment is not an obstacle for the economy, it's a condition for its prosperity.

Newly developed relationships with UB's International Student Services, Alumni Relations, and Career Services allows the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to employ a strategic approach to international enrollment management and demonstrate its value for career preparation.
According to John Wood, Ph.D., Interim Vice Provost for International Education at the University at Buffalo, "SEAS 360° powerfully leverages the skill sets and programming of multiple units within the School and beyond" and relied on existing but underutilized resources to offer a cost-free 25-hour certificate program. Participants are offered eight areas of training to develop and improve high demand "power skills," as identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). The SEAS 360° Certificate of Professional Development is in direct response to challenges surrounding intercultural assimilation for international graduate students in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University at Buffalo, particularly those who are the lone enrollments from their respective countries & domestic students with limited international experiences. It also addresses feedback from trusted industry partners about enhancing "soft" skills, including professional skills for international students.
Successfully recruiting international students requires an understanding of students' capabilities and a willingness to assist them in developing a sense of their roles as global citizens in preparation for a competitive labor market. Christopher Connor, Assistant Dean and Chief Enrollment Officer, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences notes that "SEAS 360° is a key differentiator in a highly competitive student market, and its impact is reflected in international graduate enrollment increases." Beyond admissions, the program has been most successful in increasing engagement and participation in workshops meant to bring attention to previously recognized ethical challenges regarding academic integrity, culturally accepted norms, and differences. Institutionally, UB has seen exponential increases in international students' sense of belonging, directly meeting the mission of an institution-wide task force charged with developing collective efforts to welcome, include and engage international students on campus.
UB, SEAS 360°, and its collaborators are an example of an outstanding International Enrollment Management model that sets institutional goals for the recruitment, retention, and graduation of international students. According to Connor, "SEAS 360° has been a standout success in addressing a need identified by students, faculty, alumni, & partners in the industry - the input of these various stakeholders is a critical component in the development and continued evolution towards refinement."

There is some evidence that large bra cup sizes are related to shoulder and neck pain. People may also want to reduce their breast size for cosmetic or psychological reasons.
Genetics, body weight, and age can affect breast size. Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, medications, or thyroid issues can also have an impact.
In this article, we look at a range of natural methods people can try that may decrease breast size or the appearance of breast size.
It is possible to reduce breast size with exercise and diet changes.
There are some natural options that may reduce breast size without surgery. Breasts contain mostly fat, so strategies that reduce overall body fat may work well.
The right method for reducing breast size depends on a person's overall health and the reason for large breasts, which could include hormonal conditions or obesity.
People concerned about breast health may wish to see their doctor before making significant lifestyle changes.
The breasts are mostly made up of adipose tissue, or fat. Losing body fat can reduce a person's breast size.
People can lose body fat by using up more calories than they eat, and by eating a healthful diet. A low-calorie, highly nutritious diet can indirectly help to shrink breast tissue.
Focus on eating nutrient-dense foods that are low in calories. Fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, such as salmon, and lean meats, such as grilled chicken, can help a person feel full while still supporting healthy weight loss.
People who are breastfeeding or pregnant should talk to a doctor or midwife before trying to lose weight.
Like diet, exercise can help a person lose body fat, which might also help reduce breast size over time.
Many people mistakenly believe that targeted exercises can burn fat in a specific area. While push-ups and other chest exercises will tone the arm and chest muscles, they will not directly remove fat from the breasts themselves. The key is to burn fat throughout the body.
Cardiovascular exercises that increase a person's heart rate are highly effective at burning fat. Depending on health and fitness factors, people can try running, swimming, or taking brisk walks.
Flaxseed may help reduce estrogen levels.
Estrogen plays a key role in the development of breast tissue. So countering excess estrogen could reduce breast size, especially in people with hormonal imbalances.
Hormonal contraceptives contain estrogen and progesterone and can make a person's breasts grow bigger. The effect usually goes away again once the person stops taking the medication.

Some research suggests that a person can reduce their body estrogen levels through dietary changes.
For instance, animal studies suggest that flaxseed supplements may help regulate estrogen levels by reducing estrogen expression in the ovaries. Flaxseed may also protect the heart, reduce the risk of cancer, and prevent inflammation.
There is, however, little evidence about natural remedies to reduce estrogen in the body. People may wish to talk to their doctor about estrogen-lowering medication.
Because breast tissue is made up of fat, losing body fat can reduce breast size. In this article, we look at natural, healthful ways to lose weight.
Binding involves wrapping material tightly around the breasts to flatten them. It will not shrink breast tissue or prevent the breasts from growing, but binding can help the breasts look smaller and may make a person feel more comfortable. Talk to a doctor about the safest way to use a binder.
People can find binders in online stores.
A bra cannot permanently change breast size, but minimizer bras can create the illusion of smaller breasts. These bras change the breast shape to make the breasts look flatter and higher on the chest.
Some minimizer bras also offer more supportive straps, which may reduce back and neck pain.
Finding a supportive, well-fitting bra can significantly improve a person's comfort levels. Many stores offer free bra-fitting services. Simply changing bras can reduce some of the pain associated with large breasts.
During and after pregnancy, the breasts may increase in size.
A person's breasts tend to grow during pregnancy and remain large while they are breastfeeding. The increase in size is especially noticeable in the first few weeks after giving birth, as breast milk supply is still regulating itself.
Along with milk production and hormonal effects, people also put on body fat during pregnancy, some of which gets deposited in the breast tissue.
Many people find that their breasts slowly shrink as they lose pregnancy weight, and others find that their breasts remain slightly larger after having a baby.
People can try the above methods to reduce breast size during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk to a doctor about any concerns that arise.
Large breasts can be an inconvenience or a source of significant pain. Certain natural methods can help a person reduce their breast size, such as losing weight and eating a healthful diet. Wearing specific bras and binders can reduce the appearance of the breast.
When natural remedies do not help, a person can consider speaking to their doctor about breast reduction surgery. A small-scale 2012 survey of people who had breast reduction surgery found that over 95 percent said they were satisfied with their results.
Talking about breast size can be an emotional topic because of social and cultural ideas about the meaning of breasts and how people should feel about their own breasts. Doctors understand the challenges that people with very large breasts often face and can help. People struggling with breast size issues should talk to a trusted provider.
