Classicism Celebrated with John Russell Pope Awards
Introducing the 2021 John Russell Pope Awards.
Peter H. Miller, Hon. AIA
Winners of the 2021 John Russell Pope Awards were announced at a ceremony hosted by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, Washington, D.C./Mid-Atlantic Chapter on Friday evening September 24. Russell Windham of Curtis & Windham Architects was the gala's emcee. You will be impressed by the quality of these projects.
ICAA Chapters across the country produce regional design award programs, all of which celebrate excellence in classical design. These are not to be confused with the Palladio Awards, a national awards program we produce, whose winners are published on this website and in the pages of TRADITIONAL BUILDING and NEW OLD HOUSE magazines. But much of the best work wins multiple awards across our industry.
The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art's mission is to "advance the appreciation and practice of the principals of traditional architecture and its allied arts by engaging educators, professionals, students, and enthusiasts". The John Russell Pope Awards recognize exceptional classical work in the Mid-Atlantic region and anywhere in the world where chapter members practice.
John Russell Pope (1874-1937) FAIA RIBA (Hon) was a classical architect from New York whose work graces the boulevards of my city, Washington, D.C. After studying medicine at the College of New York, Mr. Pope earned his architecture degree from Columbia University in 1894. The following year Pope became the first recipient of a fellowship in architecture from the American Academy in Rome. He also studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts, returning to New York in 1900 where he opened his architectural practice. His iconic works in our nation's capital include the Jefferson Memorial; the National Archives Building; The National Gallery of Art (west building); Constitution Hall; the Temple of the Scottish Rite, and the Woodend mansion.
Ferry Point, Neumann Lewis Buchanan Architects.
Pope was a member of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts from 1917 to 1922. And as a member of the Board of Architectural Consultants, he advised Andrew Mellon in the planning of the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C. J.R. Pope's architectural legacy is his interpretation of European classicism into a new, American form which established him as a "leader in the development of highly refined and restrained classicism."
The J.R. Pope Awards went to sixteen winners in sixteen categories from new residential design, to historic preservation, artisanship, to urban design and landscape architecture. David Neumann of Neumann Lewis Buchanan Architects residential new construction project, "Ferry Point" is a stand-out. The design draws inspiration from nearby William Paca and James Brice Houses, both in the historic core of nearby Annapolis Maryland. The jury's comment about this new, old house were, "it's very refined, respectful of the history of place and looks like it's always been there."
An indoor-outdoor retreat, in the Artisan category, is a stunning example of traditional, architectural millwork, built by Gaston & Wyatt. The project includes a private bar and entertaining area with a connected outdoor space and pergola.
Frequent Palladio Award winner Glave & Holmes Architecture won a J.R. Pope Award this time for the historic preservation of the Scott House Study. This Beaux-Arts mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places; the work complies with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation with coordination from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. About this project, the jury exclaimed, "outstanding lack of ego as this project honors the original architect."
In the Ecclesiastical category, the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, designed by Franck & Lohsen Architects took home the Pope prize for being "elegant and restrained, joyful and balanced." The new church is designed in the American Gothic style and graces the skyline of a college town.
In the Commercial and Institutional (above 8,000 square feet) design categories, David M. Schwarz Architects won for the interiors at Waycroft, a mixed-use development with 491 residential units above and 62,000 square feet of retail space at street level. DMSA won a second award for Dickies Arena which adorns the Ft. Worth Texas cultural and museum district with the Will Rogers Memorial Center. David M. Schwarz Architect's Washington, D.C. office principal Gregory Hoss accepted these awards at the ceremony.
Park Van Ness, Torti Gallas + Partners
In the Multi-Family design category, Torti Gallas + Partners won the J.R. Pope Award for Boneval, an elegant 40-unit condominium building which blends seamlessly with its row-house neighborhood on Capital Hill. Torti Gallas + Partners won a second award for Park Van Ness in the commercial design category. This Beaux-Arts gem has 271 residences, street level retail and LEED Certification. Sarah Alexander strode to the podium to receive the trophy for Torti Gallas + Partners.

Residential New Construction category (over 8,000 square feet) was a shingle house on Virginia Beach designed by Gary Brewer of Robert Stern Architects. This well-scaled house tucks neatly on three-eighths of an acre and overlooks the ocean. In the Residential Renovation category, Hill & Hurtt Architects' Joshua Hill and Eric Hurtt took home the Pope prize for a historic row house which had been badly remuddled over the years. Joshua Hill explains, "We approached this whole house renovation with three goals: to bring light deep into the house with windows, skylights and large openings between spaces; to use materials that are energy efficient and to develop an architectural language that echoes the era of the original house while creating special definitions."
Two-time John Russell Pope award winner Mike Watkins of Mike Watkins Architecture won in the Urban Design category this year and also in 2019. Mr. Watkin's Urban Design award this time was for duBignon, a proposed 221-acre compact mixed-use pedestrian-friendly neighborhood adjacent to a college town in Georgia. A second two-time winner prevailed again this year in the Artisanship category, Iron Masters, for an "enticing iron grill."
Chain Bridge Garden, Arentz Landscape Architects.
For Landscape design, Arentz Landscape Architects won a J.R. Pope Award for their Chain Bridge Garden. The jury was impressed by Arentz's solutions on a small, steep-sloped lot with several heritage trees. Well executed garden layers blur the perceived boundaries of the site creating an expansive sense of space.
A second J.R. Pope award went to the Virginia Beach House, this one for interior design by Manuel de Santaren. A mix of ocean blues and bright whites make this ocean retreat feel dignified yet relaxed.
It is customary to select an awards jury outside the region of the ICAA Chapter. In this case, the Washington D.C./Mid Atlantic Chapter of ICAA asked Michael Imber FAIA of San Antonio Texas to chair the jury. Mr. Imber was joined by landscape architect Doug Hoerr of Chicago and interior designer Sarah Magness of New York. Their critical eye and knowledge of the classical tradition identified the best work.
2021 Emerging Classicist Drawing Winner

The jury was particularly impressed by the work of the student entrants, many of whom study at Catholic University. It's no wonder that these undergrads understand the principles of classicism. Their Dean of the Catholic University School of Architecture is former ICAA Chairman Mark Ferguson of Ferguson Shamamian. Their teacher is James McCrery, himself a frequent design award winner in the classical tradition. Patrick Suarez won two Emerging Classicist Awards, one for drawing and one for design. About the Suarez drawing one juror said, "It blew me away."

Бамбоччанти (, от , карапуз, пузырь, а также тряпичная кукла, чучело) — группа художников, работавших в XVII веке в Риме. Сформировалась вокруг нидерландского художника Питера ван Лара и получила название по его прозвищу — Il Bamboccio. Соответствующее название — бамбоччаты () — получил и разрабатывавшийся ими «низкий» жанр живописи, то есть картины с изображением сценок из обыденной жизни: «бродяг, резвящихся детей, странствующих актёров, крестьян и нищих, решённых с юмором и некоторой долей сентиментальности».

История

Художников «бамбоччанти» называли «малыми караваджистами». Они объединились вокруг нидерландского живописца Питера ван Лара, которого за карликовый рост и округлые формы тела прозвали bamboccio — «карапуз». Около 1625 года он прибыл в Рим из Гарлема. В своих работах Питер ван Лар с юмором, а порой и с гротеском и сарказмом изображал повседневную жизнь низших слоев общества, используя при этом элементы тенебризма (игры со светотенью), восходящего к живописи Караваджо.

К последователям ван Лара и стали причислять «бамбоччанти» — работавших в Риме художников, преимущественно выходцев из Нидерландов и Фландрии. Со временем историки искусства стали говорить о формировании отдельного простонародного жанра в живописи, получившего название «бамбоччаты», хотя сцены такого рода художники писали и ранее — например, Питер Брейгель Старший, Давид Тенирс Старший.

Художники этого жанра были близки объединению «Перелётные птицы». Позднее с «бамбоччанти» стали сближать некоторых художников итальянского рококо — Пьетро Лонги, Джузеппе Креспи, Джакомо Черути, Алессандро Маньяско.

Наиболее известные мастера:

 братья Бот — Андрис и Ян
 Карел Дюжарден
 Ян Миль
 Ян Асселин
 Иоганн Лингельбах
 Микеланджело Черквоцци
 Вивиано Кодацци
 Михаэль Свертс
 Себастьян Бурдон (в ранние годы)

Восприятие современников и критиков
С позиций высокого искусства бамбоччистов резко критиковали Сальватор Роза и Джованни Беллори. Однако в Риме и Неаполе нашлись меценаты и коллекционеры, начавшие покупать их произведения (Кассиано дель Поццо и др.). Как видно в исторической перспективе, направление работы ван Лара и его последователей обнаруживает переклички с творчеством Хогарта, братьев Ленен, Гойи, Курбе. В России распространилось искажённое название: бамбошады.

Итальянский художник Луиджи Джорджио Бальдеро предпринял попытку возрождения бамбоччаты в XIX веке. Он создал несколько сотен работ в этом жанре. Они были популярны среди неискушённой публики, но получить признание художественной общественности и найти богатых покровителей и покупателей ему так и не удалось.

Хосе Ортега-и-Гассет во Введении к Веласкесу (опубл. 1950) указывает, что картинки, называемые в Италии бамбоччатами, в Испании именуют бодегонами, и связывает обращение Веласкеса к этому жанру с его бунтом против красоты.

«Бамбоччады» в литературе
Немецкий филолог и писатель-романтик Август-Фердинанд Бернгарди вместе с Людвигом Тиком выпустил сборник гротескных новелл и драматических сценок Бамбоччады (, Берлин, 1797—1800, 3 тт.). Ставшую впоследствии знаменитой книгу своих фантастических новелл Гаспар из Тьмы (начата в 1826, опубл.1842) французский романтик Алоизиюс Бертран первоначально планировал назвать Романтические бамбочады.

Позже название Бамбочада дал своему роману (1931) Константин Вагинов; комментаторы его издания указывают, что термин бамбоччиада как определение жанра в русскую словесность ввёл Н. В. Кукольник (см.: Вагинов К. Полное собрание сочинений в прозе. СПб.: Академический проект, 1999, с.546).

"Considered the definitive work on the subject" (The New York Times), Main Currents of Marxism is now in one paperback volume. "A monument of modern humanistic scholarship... It will surely not be superseded." New York Review of Books "Leszek Kolokowki is one of the world's greatest living political philosophers and historians of ideas... Norton have reissued his magnum opus, Main Currents of Marxism, in a handsome single volume." Timothy Garton Ash, Books of the Year, The Times Literary Supplement "...indispensable... an unmatched encyclopaedia of a major passage in Western intellectual history, but the enduring interest of this masterly volume does not come chiefly from the mass of useful information it provides. Instead, it lies in Kolokowski's devastating assessment of Marx's thought." John Gray, The Times Higher Education Supplement"
Leszek Kolakowski was the first recipient of the million-dollar John W. Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and he is the recipient of the 2007 Jerusalem Prize. He lives in Oxford, England.
Kolakowski presents you with the best summary of Marxist thought: its origins, development, strengths and weaknesses. Kolakowski was a Polish dissident, a scholar of Marxism who became disenchanted with the socialist bloc. He's fair, however, and while he makes some devastating criticisms of Marxist ideas, he will acknowledge the many places where Marx, Engels, and others contributed mightily to our understanding of the world. Highly recommended.
First of all, Leszek Ko³akowski was a superb intellectual, philosopher and historian of ideas. After the Second World War he devoted himself to marxism, but after visiting Moscow he left stalinism and became a revisionist marxist. Stalinism as a subreligion within a religion (Marxism) condemned the heretic, no schism was allowed. Ko³akowski was expelled from the Polish United Workers' Party.
Now, lets go to the book that made Ko³akowski famous. The purpose of the book in the words of Ko³akowski: "to understand Marx's basic thoughts as answers to questions that have long excercised the minds of philosophers, but at the same time to comprehend them in their uniqueness both as emanations of Marx's genius and as phenomena of a particular age." Ko³akowski did not write a history of Western philosophy to understand Marx, but as he said "a brief account of the questions in regard to which Marxism can be described as constituting a new step in the development of European philosophy." Therefore Ko³akowski does a real genealogy of marxism, you can not study Martxism as an isolated ideology. "The phrase Marxism before Marx has no meaning, but Marx's thought would be emptied of its content if it were not considered in the setting of European culltural history as a whole..." Thus, Ko³akowski begin analysing the origins of dialectitic BRIEFLY (but not lacking of depth) Plotinus, Saint Augustine and the contingency of human existence, the concept of the "One" before and after Christianity and how can men can reach non duality or the union with the One, which in the followers of Plato is in one way and in christianity (influenced by Plato) in another way. The he examined interesting figures like Meister Eckhart and the dialectif of deification, Nicolas de Cusa and the coincidentia oppositorum, the Enlightenment, Rousseau, Hume, the Germans: Kant (Prussian), Fichte, Hegel (as you should know and important part of the book) and the Hegelian Left. Young Hegelians: Ludwig Feurbach (The essence of Christianity) and Moses Hess and his philosophy of action. Then starts the analysis of Marx writting (and Engel's) Marxism before and after the Russian "Revolution" (was it a Revolution?. Lev Trotsky, the marriage between Marxism-Leninsm-Stalinism. Also interesting the part about Antonio Gramsci, Györg Lukács and other "perhaps" less known: German Marxist theorist Karl Korsch (Marxism and Philosophy)and French philosopher and sociologist, Lucien Goldmann. The Frankfurt school is obviously included with some of their leading figures and former figures: Horckheimer, Adorno, Marcuse, Fromm. The book finish with Ernst Bloch and Marxism after De-Stalinization.
An analysis incomparable both in philosophical insight and historical extent. Balanced, it pays justice both to the theoritical (and practical) breakthrougs of socialist and communist thought and to the practical (and theoritical) drawbacks of its "existent" version(s). Not by chance characterised a life-time achivement of its author, Leszek Kolakowski.
Kolakowski reviews and summarizes the history of Marxism with as much nuance and precision to detail as Chopin dealt with music in his piano concertos. The author is a maestro of holistic interpretation while at the same time paying excruciating detail to references and influences that shaped, transformed, radicalized and pragmatically utilized Marxist philosophy from its very inception until the 1970's. I would be willing to bet that most people who call themselves Socialists or attack Socialism have no idea behind the complex debates that formed this humanistic philosophy. Drawing from an extensive collection of manifestos and books on the subject from mostly European sources, Kolakowski is brilliantly able to paint an eloquent picture of this often, misunderstood and misapplied philosophy. My favorite line of his in this work (which I here paraphrase) is that Marxism can be compared to Christianity because of the multitude of interpretations derived from core beliefs of both ethical systems of thought. My only criticism of his approach, which reflects his Polish background, is the heavy handed contempt that he attributes to Marxism/Leninism and its resultant growth into Stalinism. Yet he expounds upon his seemingly biased view with credible facts which are hard to deny. After reading this tome, it is unavoidable to come to the conclusion that Marxism fails ultimately because of the frailties of human nature. There can be no worldwide, worker's Utopia because man is inherently exploitive and, to believe otherwise, is sheer folly. If "religion is the opiate of the people," then Marxism is the rabbit hole of philosophical thought and offers no definitive solution to the societal dilemma faced by modern man.

Joke Definition and Meaning
What is a joke?
A joke is a story that is told, shared, displayed, or displayed for the purpose of making a specific audience laugh. Usually it is an anecdote, a comment or a play on words. However, an image or sequence of images may be intended for laughing purposes, such as comic strips.
Apparently, the word comes from the verb "chistar", which in turn comes from the interjection "chist", which is used to attract attention when someone wants to be heard. Indeed, a joke requires the full attention of the audience in order to follow the anecdote.
The following are synonyms of the word "joke": facet or charrasquido. Other related terms are prank or game.
Jokes, such as humorous speeches, can use different resources, such as puns, ironies, mockery, parody, etc. According to the resources and topics you use, it responds to different typologies. Let's see.
Types of jokes
Psychology has extensively studied the phenomenon of jokes, since they constitute an important symbolic phenomenon of social representation.
Sigmund Freud, in fact, classified them into at least two large groups: innocent and biased jokes. The former would correspond to those whose sole purpose is to make people laugh. The tendentious would correspond to those who contain a certain level of hostility, obscenity, aggression or eroticism.
Thus, innocent jokes are popularly known as white jokes. The others can be considered biased jokes. Namely:
White jokes: These are jokes that can be heard and understood by all kinds of audiences, whose sole purpose is to have fun and relax. They often use word games.
Black jokes: Refers to those anecdotes that deal with cruel topics such as death, disease, misfortune or discrimination.
Red, red or green jokes: They are those that have sex and eroticism by main theme.
Double-jokes: they are anecdotes or stories that hide a second non-apparent meaning, masked in ambivalent words. Most of the time, this type of joke refers to some erotic element, but not necessarily.
Jokes about stereotypes: these are based on gender (male jokes), race (racist jokes), origin (region or nationality) or occupations (jokes about lawyers or politicians). Stereotypes will depend on each culture.

The eWaste Problem And How the Blockchain Could Solve It
Christy Bella
The E-waste problem is becoming a growing concern as more and more people take to digital products. But the good thing is that awareness, environmental responsibility and sustainability are getting more widespread, and more people are choosing to recycle rather than simply throwing their tech away in the trash bin.
These goods can be reused or sold to recycling sites like Plunc or to other individuals who may still find a use for the device. Ireland, for example, has grown their recycling efforts and enjoy a 15% increase in 3 years' time, from 30.9 percent to 46.1 percent in 2013.
While all of these efforts are commendable, electronic waste from old things still makes its way into our landfills and make up a huge portion in total. Not only does it up space, but these things also release chemical toxins from materials that can contaminate the ground, the air and the water we drink. If we'd want to get to the bottom of the e-waste problem, then the biggest corporations and manufacturers must participate.
Ireland is one model student that all countries should emulate when it comes to recycling. They currently have the WEEE, or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment program that governs how residents and organizations should dispose of their eWaste. The regulation has proven so effective that Ireland has surpassed EU in the recycling, reuse and collecting aspect within WEEE standards in 2013. The government and its inhabitants are on pace to meeting the target of 65 percent e-waste recycling and collection for 2019.
Legislators are now looking at existing technology to combat the global dilemma. One possible solution, the blockchain, is quickly becoming a promising factor in solving current issues and future ones.
How The Blockchain Can Potentially Solve E-Waste Concerns
Originally, the blockchain technology was primarily made for cryptocurrencies. It's immutable and decentralized aspect gave the world a glimpse of how transactions could be made without compromise or being stored on a single server. In e-waste, a blockchain can bring forth a satisfactory solution when it comes to responsible recycling.
The blockchain is made up of several 'blocks', or chunks of data that have their own digital signature. The connected blocks make up a blockchain, which isn't stored anywhere and doesn't belong to a single organization or authority, but the users themselves. It's a versatile peer-to-peer platform that's secure and prevents data corruption.
Recycling Companies That Have Successfully Harnessed The Blockchain
The blockchain technology has been around the block when it comes to recycling e-waste and common materials.
Plastic Bank, a Canadian organization has thought of a way to reduce plastic waste via innovative means. They're currently operating in several countries, including Haiti and Peru and plan to expand to others in the future.
Plastic Bank has set up recycling centers where there's foot traffic. People can bring empty water bottles and plastic cups or bags, put them in the machine and get digital tokens via a secure blockchain-based system. Tokens can be exchanged for food or for charging up your mobile devices. The plastic then is collected by a company that will reuse it for new goods.
In France, there are recycling station bins powered by blockchain technology in the Lyon Railway. The pilot program has shown promising results– around 2,000 euros were saved per station in just the first month.
Can The Blockchain Help With E-Waste Recycling?
While overall intentions are good, the current management isn't immutable and therefore vulnerable to dishonest manipulation. One example is that a particular waste collection system may be ordered to process e-waste without having the transaction recorded.
This is where the blockchain can step in to help. The technology can be integrated within satellite recycling equipment, where people 'deposit' their old tech, e.g., smartphones, broken laptops or non-working items and get digital tokens in the process. Within the system, there's no chance of tampering with the data once a blockchain is installed.
Blockchain Technology Equals Accountability and Immutability
If we ever want to put an end to the e-waste problem, then everyone will have to be in alignment when it comes to dedication. Unfortunately, some organizations will rather profit than help the environment with proper reuse and harvesting of parts in electronics. In this case, accountability can bring an end to the global epidemic.
With the blockchain, every data that's entered into the system will be secure and immutable, which means that it cannot be changed. This kind of security ensures that there won't be any tampering or discrepancy in an end-to-end scale, from the time an individual put in a plastic bottle to a recycling machine to collecting the material and turning it into something new. Pertinent details such as handler, type of e-waste and when it was collected will be saved and stored within a secure system.

The immutability of a blockchain will then streamline accountability across all platforms, from people to organizations and recycling centers alike. Once in place, there's nothing else that people can do but save the world, one e-waste material at a time.

The main difference from other sport coupe car of the brand has become a new approach to the design of the exterior and interior.
The new compartment model of Audi, which was called Prologue, will become a full-fledged competitor to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
"Audі stands for sporty and lightweight design. In the Audi Prologue we expressed our know-how in a new form, creating a car luxury segment. Our team has adopted a new approach to design solutions" – said at the presentation at the Auto Show in Los Angeles, a new designer for Marc Lichte.
On the model established 4-liter twin-turbo engine V8, which delivers 597 hp and power of 750 N / m of torque. This allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds.


KANSAS CITY — New beginnings, new chapters, new years — always full of promise and hope. In fact, hope is the promise of the new school in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Our Lady of Hope, dedicated and blessed Sept. 11.
Bishop James V. Johnston, Jr., celebrated Mass at Guardian Angels Church, concelebrated by Jesuit Fathers Bob Hagan, Parochial Vicar and Sacramental Minister of the parish, and Terence Baum, president of Rockhurst High School, with assistance by Deacon Tyrone Gutierrez, OSF, Pastoral Administrator, a Guardian Angels School alumnus.
Our Lady of Hope's student body is comprised of students of Our Lady of the Angels School, which had occupied the building since 2006, and students of Our Lady of Guadalupe School, which closed at the end of the 2015/16 school year. Both schools were part of the diocesan Bright Futures Fund, as is Our Lady of Hope School.
It was dedicated exactly 106 years after Guardian Angels School first opened. The dedication honored Lamar and Rita Hunt and the Hunt family. A plaque was presented to Lamar Hunt, Jr., inscribed, "Their generosity will be remembered forever by all who learn, teach, pray and gather inside these walls." The plaque and a photograph of the Hunt family will be mounted in the school's entry hall.
Back in 1909, the old Santa Fe Trail, (43rd Street) now Westport Road, was still mostly unpaved, but many German families were moving south from the downtown area. About 40 Catholic families lived near the old trail. Most spoke German and observed German traditions and customs. A new parish, Schutz Angel Kirche, Guardian Angel Church, was founded that year. Father Karl Joseph Haeckler was appointed its first pastor. It was only a few months until a brick building had been constructed for $40,000 on the corner of 43rd and Mercier, with a chapel on the second floor, two classrooms and living quarters on the first floor.
On Sept 11, 1910, the school opened with 40 students taught by two Sisters of St. Benedict of Atchison, Kan., Sisters Mary Florina and Mary Zitta. Their furnishings were simple. Orange crates served as washstands and a wooden box with two shelves as a closet. The kitchen table was a board supported by two sawhorses. Parishioners attending Mass on the second floor complained of smelling the food the Sisters were preparing for Sunday dinner, so they did their cooking on Saturdays. Cows were said to graze under the school windows.
A new sign, a new coat of arms, a new school with 106 years of history.
In 1940, property on the west side of the church on Terrace was purchased for a playground. The pastor, Father Charles J. Strasburger, wanted to build a new school, but it didn't seem practical in the midst of a depression. So he quietly established a building fund which by 1953, when he died of a heart attack, had grown to $170,000.
His successor, Father Robert E. Walton, purchased five homes and a 50' lot on the west side of Mercier for a new school and convent. The school, completed in 1955 at a cost of $200,000, opened that September with 290 students. The Benedictine Sisters taught at Guardian Angels School until 1988.
On Sept. 6, 1991, it was announced that Guardian Angels and Redemptorist Schools would be consolidated and located at Broadway and Linwood Boulevards. The new school was named Our Lady of the Angels.
Renters were found for the Guardian Angels school building. Plaza Academy, an alternative high school serving about 35 students, occupied the second floor. AAU Basketball rented the gymnasium for training, practices and tournaments. The parish used the first floor for children's religious education classes and various adult programs and meetings. The cafeteria remained available for parish use and special occasion rental. The rental income allowed the parish to meet the costs of keeping the building functional and operating.
In March 2006, Our Lady of the Angels Grade School moved to the Guardian Angels site to make way for Cristo Rey High School. Before students arrived, the building underwent renovations to bring the 1955 building up to 2005 standards, much of it done through donated funds and labor—at no cost to Guardian Angels Parish. The parish air-conditioned the school cafeteria that spring.
By the end of 2015, it had become clear that both Our Lady of Guadalupe and Our Lady of the Angels school buildings were in need of extensive repairs. The Bright Futures Fund Board of Directors decided to renovate the larger of the two school buildings, Our Lady of Angels, to serve students from both schools. Two long-time Bright Futures Fund principals were named to lead the new school, Our Lady of Hope — Holy Cross principal Barb Deane as president and Our Lady of the Angels principal Mary Delac as principal.
Jeremy Lillig, diocesan Director of Stewardship and Development, presents a plaque to Lamar Hunt, Jr., and his family, honoring their gift to make the school a reality. The plaque will hang in the entry hall of Our Lady of Hope School.
A generous gift from Lamar and Rita Hunt's Loretto Foundation made the renovations possible. The long list of repairs, improvements and upgrades includes new HVAC, roof, insulation, an upgraded electrical system and new lighting, painting inside and out, updated restrooms and plumbing, asbestos removal and resurfaced classroom floors and second floor hallway, built-in classroom storage and new furnishings, reclaimed unused storage and locker rooms to create art and music classrooms and more. Several upgrades still to be completed include new windows and exterior doors, security and access systems, upgraded server and wireless access, interactive projectors and whiteboards in each classroom and a statue of Our Lady of Wisdom which will be installed in front of the school.
After the Mass, the bishop, accompanied by the two Jesuit priests, Deacon Gutierrez and Mary Delac, walked through the building, blessing the doors, classrooms, offices and cafeteria. Then, those who were present for the blessing were given a tour of the school.
Deacon Gutierrez, class of 1971, said he was glad to see the school refurbished and re-used.
Delac said the new year is off to a great start. Enrollment has increased by 50 students who came from Our Lady of Guadalupe School.
Enrollment sits at 195 students, she said, and "the kids are all working together." Extra staff and resources are helping the students. The students are eagerly awaiting the statue of Our Lady of Wisdom, which should be delivered later this year.

Q: Data Structure for privacy settings of profiles in the cloud In a social app (similar to Facebook), a user's profile could look like this:
{"name": "Peter",
  "gender": "Male",
  "age": "22"}

Now, when people navigate to Peter's page, people would be able to see Peter's age, gender and name.
Let's say Peter is a very private person and he does not want anyone to know any of his personal information. I could structure the data to looks like this instead:
  {"name": "Peter",
  "alias":"GoofyDuck",
  "gender": "Male",
  "age": "22",
  "showGender": false,
  "showName":false,
  "showAge": false}

When other people navigate to his page, because of the boolean set in the json, the page could be prevent from displaying his details, however, if you have a lot of fields of personal details (for example, besides name, gender and age, Peter could put his address, phone number etc.), it could make the json unneccessarily long.
I was thinking maybe some type of mask on a binary string might be more appropriate:
  {"name": "Peter",
  "gender": "Male",
  "age": "22",
  "privacy":"110"}

In this case, the binary on the "privacy" field could say that only his age would be hidden as it is a 0.
I do think that the binary string is properly the most efficient way to store preferences on the cloud but I have not seen any examples of using a mask to mask out the meaning of the binary in java.
I could also parse out the binary string to get each value separately but think that won't be efficient. Is there a way I can mask out each value separately?

A: I think a better design is to couple every property with its own privacy setrtings like this:
{ {"name": "Peter", "show": false},
  {"alias":"GoofyDuck", "show": false},
  {"gender": "Male", "show": false},
  {"age": "22", "show": false} }

This design carries several advantages:

*

*more clear then having a mask where the settings is dependant on position in the mask

*you can add new properties without worrying about affecting the privacy settings of existing ones

*with this design, you can have more fine tune privacy settings, other than just boolean value:
{ {"name": "Peter", "show": "all"},
  {"alias":"GoofyDuck", "show": "all"},
  {"gender": "Male", "show": "friends"},
  {"age": "22", "show": "none"} }

*once you have a structure per property, you can enhance it with further metadata once it is required, for example,
{ {"name": "Peter", "show": "all", "decorate": "bold"},
  {"alias":"GoofyDuck", "show": "all"},
  {"gender": "Male", "show": "friends"},
  {"age": "22", "show": "none"} }

A: you could just have a whitelist of visible attributes
{public_attributes: {"name", "gender", "age"}
note that you shouldn't use a blacklist because that may accidentally reveal data when you add new attributes

It's my pleasure to present the 1st survey "State of Agile Procurement" summarized and translated from the German, Source: Komus : Kurzstudie Agiler Einkauf (2017). My key learning of the survey is that lean-agile procurement is leading edge and might become the option to disrupt the procurement industry. Nevertheless the transformation is still at the very beginning.
Prof. Dr. Ayelt Komus published a representing survey about the state of procurement and it's application to agile in Germany. In this blog post I've summarized and translated the survey and the conclusions from the German. Find below the visualized summary. Feel free to share it!
Reading the results of the survey might create more uncertainty for classic procurement managers, as every change does. In his blog post Prof. Dr. Ayelt Komus concluded with the following 9 recommendations. Please find below the answers that lean-agile procurement offers you. Btw. I personally agree to all of his recommendations!
Every employee in the team should understand how fundamental the change is, that the business will profit from that and that the implications of these developments imply both opportunities and risks.
LAP is easy to understand, learn and to implement. It's promising improvements reduce through-put time, costs, increase transparence, cooperation with all stakeholders and so LAP meets the current market demands of agility.
→ Provide basic information on agile methods, digital transformation and, if necessary, industry 4.0!
Determine with the various stakeholders how and where the agile / digital transformation makes sense and the purchasing has to be adopted.
LAP is a flexible approach, based on agile and lean principles. It could be adapted to specific situations, negotiations and even per procurement case.
→ Be clear about the specific situation in your company!
Basic variants of the purchasing process and procurement strategies should, among other things, take into account, in addition to the goods / services to be procured, your actual purchasing power, interdependent dependencies with the supplier, as well as the complexity and suitability of the trade union / service for the description.
LAP doesn't claim to be the one solution for everything. It's perfect for complex sourcing cases e.g. if the solution is not yet that clear and will be developed agile. On the other hand it could make totally sense to stick on classic procurement approaches for sourcing e.g. simple goods.
→ Ensure that the differentiation in purchasing processes and strategies is practiced appropriately!
Agile methods live from small steps, critical testing and learning curves. This applies to all areas: products, methods, techniques and technologies. All this is based on a tight and short-clocked interaction. You should also take this into account when focusing on this new topic. Look for a suitable path for your organization / projects.
One of the key aspects of LAP is improving the social integration and collaboration of all stakeholders during the whole procurement process. So that everybody needed, e.g. legal, business stakeholders, etc are involved from the beginning till the decision.
→ Work closely together - especially with the department and the legal department!
With agile methods, the meaning of certain skills changes in negotiation, contract conclusion and accompaniment. New contract framework and procedures have to be developed. Even if any agile activity is unique. Develop solutions. You practice. Watch. Learn.
LAP is based on the same agile leadership principles, so that implementing LAP will support you in learning those and the change in paradigm. Furthermore the lean procurement canvas is an agile contract, so that you already have an important component of your new contract framework. Furthermore LAP transforms the role of the purchasing manager into an enabler, coach, moderator that facilitates all stakeholders during procurement in a much more efficient way. As a servant leader you'll become the main contact if it comes to procurement.
→ Develop appropriate skills and contract framework!
Agile methods and industry 4.0 are faster and more value-oriented than traditional methods. Agile processes change the role and the typical focus of purchasing from a one-time purchasing activity before the service delivery to a sustainable accompaniment also during the service provision. Ensure that your processes can keep pace with procurement. Provide the basis for the implementation of the advantages of agile methods in the process of purchasing the implementation, control security and transparency.
LAP is fokusing to the users and customer needs instead of their wants. On the same time LAP is looking for building an oekosystem of sustainable partners instead of just finding the one-time, most cheap vendor. This ensures the maximum business value and the needed flexibility for innovation. Note: The lean procurement canvas is also a tool for partner management.
→ Make your processes fit for agile purchasing!
Consider what new requirements mean the new agile processes and success factors of purchasing. In many places, changed skills and tendencies will gain in importance. Against this background, you should reflect the current profiles of your employees and colleagues. Check the personnel development options and selection / promotion criteria.
LAP requires a deep understanding in agile principles, better an agile mindset. The employees in procurement will find out hands-on in the CLAP workshop if there fitting the new requirements.
→ Reflect the personality traits, abilities and tendencies of your employees!
Agile methods have been so widely used already. Even innovative legal and purchasing departments already use the opportunities of agile methods and principles. In the best possible way, you can only support procurement in an agile context if you also take advantage of agile methods.
LAP is the first pure agile approach for procurement. All it's elements are agile, so that the implementation of LAP will be agile too.
→ Use agile methods also in your processes!
Agile methods mean continuous development, continuous improvement. So there is no reason not to start today and start the learning process. Avoid paralysis through analysis - especially in an agile context.
LAP and the lean procurement canvas are ease to understand on the first view. However, the lean procurement canvas and the moderation of a big room planning session with 20 and more people is never easy. Hands-on exercises, real cases and our agile coaches will help you to understand LAP more deeply.
Register for the next certified lean-agile procurement workshop today and become a wanted expert, that has a promising option to transform the world of procurement into agile!
A big thank you to Prof. Dr. Ayelt Komus and the University of Applied Science Koblenz, Germany for sharing the results of their survey.


by Joanne Ivancic* (Advanced Biofuels USA) With so much talk about carbon taxes, carbon pricing, carbon cost and highway user fee increases, Advanced Biofuels USA updated its proposal for a "Disappearing" Non-Renewable Carbon User Fee to highlight its environmental justice aspects.
First proposed in 2015, the proposal begins: If we're serious about reducing Climate Change-causing Green House Gases and reducing non-renewable liquid and gas use, we need serious actions.
Including the price of GHG effects in the pricing of renewable and non-renewable fuels.
Committing serious money to focused renewable fuel research and infrastructure development.
The simplest and fastest way to accomplishing this is adding a Non-Renewable Carbon User Fee to the portion of liquid transportation fuels and natural gas made from non-renewable sources.
The fee is designed to disappear as renewable fuels replace non-renewable ones. For instance, once renewable content increases to 85% and mileage increases become fleet-wide, the income from the fee will fall dramatically. In fact, legislation should cancel the fee when income drops below $500 million/year.
Departing significantly from a number of current legislative proposals, Advanced Biofuels USA proposes that the fees be used to further the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable ones rather than being distributed back to the populace. The intent is that the people who need the more affordable, cleaner, less polluting fuel with a smaller carbon footprint would reap those benefits directly. And that by funding research, development and deployment, the pace of replacing fossil fuel with renewables would accelerate.
Thus, the fees should be used in only two ways.
Renewable Fuel R&D: An immediate Apollo-type program should be funded with between 50% and 60% of the fees. It should be administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and be focused on getting non-food biomass fuels and gases into the pipeline in less than seven years. A sustainable renewable fuel industry will not only cut petroleum imports and tremendously reduce US oil and gas extraction damage, but more important, create good jobs for Americans in research labs, rural towns, and urban manufacturing plants and converted refineries.
Renewable Fuel Infrastructure: The upgraded fuel pumps and decentralized processing/distribution modules would be funded with between 40% and 50% of the fees. These programs would be run by the states with funding available via the existing USDA Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership grant program. States know what the needs are and the most effective ways to address them. Priority could be given to low income and high pollution areas, rural and urban.
The collection of this user fee would not require new bureaucracies. Existing consumer point-of-sale fuel and utility tax collections systems would be used.
Environmental Justice Considerations: Real, Practical, Visible Benefit to People Who Need It Most.
A tax on the non-renewable portion of gasoline makes transition to less expensive, more renewable fuel a real option. As the proceeds from the tax expand the infrastructure (pumps, engine design/production) to optimize availability and use of greater portions of ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, renewable natural gas or other components in the fuel, everyone should have more renewable choices. Market forces will enhance demand for more renewable fuels (including more renewable electricity for EVs).
In anticipation of the increased fee on non-renewable portions of fuel, fuel retailers could begin offering a wider variety of high proportions of renewable fuels even before the fees go into effect.
If low income and poor air quality areas are given priority for upgraded fuel pumps, then cleaner, less-polluting and less expensive options will benefit those most in need of these advantages of renewable fuels.
This will also accomplish the goal of getting cleaner fuel at lower prices to people who will be driving liquid-fueled vehicles now and for many years to come. It will improve the emissions from older vehicles until the market provides newer, more efficient, high octane/high ethanol engines options and until electric vehicles powered by renewables become available and affordable.
For examples of price comparisons of current regular gasoline (E10) and high ethanol blends (E15, E30, E85), see the website E85Prices (https://e85prices.com/). Today (January 30, 2019), this chart illustrates the current price benefit of high ethanol blends as a US average.
A price on the non-renewable portion would enhance the price benefit of ethanol, spur consumers to demand high octane/high ethanol/lower price fuels and flex fuel or high ethanol optimized vehicles. In turn, it will spur auto manufacturers to build and sell the next generation/E30 optimized vehicles with improved mileage and performance.
Similarly, fleets will find these same high ethanol benefits, plus they may see benefits from transitioning diesel vehicles to use renewable diesel or biodiesel blends; and will find benefits of transitioning to high renewable natural gas (RNG or rCNG) fuels, as well. Not to mention the benefit that airlines will glean from renewable aviation fuels.
Electric vehicles would also experience the benefits as fossil power transitions to renewables.
The fees will also fund research and development to assure supplies of sustainable, renewable transportation fuels made from feedstocks ranging from used cooking oil, algae, and municipal waste to agricultural and forest wastes and residues, and from purpose-grown feedstocks, winter or cover crops and treated flue gases.
For details, download Carbon User Fee Proposal January 2019 and find more information from word search, categories and tags on the Advanced Biofuels USA website (www.AdvancedBiofuelsUSA.org).
* Joanne Ivancic serves as the executive director for Advanced Biofuels USA.
Excerpt from E&E News: A University of California, Davis, report found that an annual $100 registration fee for EV and hybrids set to go into effect next year could slow adoption of the vehicles by as much as 20 percent over the first few years (Energywire, Jan. 7).
The study, commissioned by the state, instead recommended a road usage fee applied exclusively to zero-emission vehicles, in which the driver pays according to the number of miles traveled.
The approach is one that Plug In America and other EV advocates likewise believe merits attention.
Oregon began such a program in 2015, more than a decade after it established a Road User Fee Task Force to study how to fund road maintenance. The OReGO program is limited to 5,000 participants driving light-duty vehicles and established a usage fee of 1.5 cents per mile.
The gasoline taxes relied on for much of the nation's highway funding, too, are designed to be usage-based. The more gasoline used by drivers, the more they pay for the upkeep of roads and bridges.

3. Evening at the Jericho Comedy Club
The Jericho Comedy Club guarantees a night full of laughter. Our colleagues can vouch for that after attending a comedy night co-hosted by Freud Bar (in Jericho) and Headway Oxfordshire – a brain injury support charity. The event included stand-up acts from multi-award winners Matt Richardson, Tadiwa Mahlunge, Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee Steve Hall and others.
Alongside stand-up shows, Jericho Comedy Club host other comedy shows in bookshops, museums, and even on moving buses, from improv shows to a murder mystery. If you are your friends are looking to catch up over the Christmas season, then look no further than the heart of Jericho with the promise of merriment and bellyache from laughter.

5. Christmas Morning Walk around Port Meadow and the Oxford Canal
A popular choice among our tenants at Lucy Properties, Port Meadow and the Oxford Canal offers a peaceful and exquisite walk during the festive period. Whether it's taking a break from all the commotion or an annual Christmas morning walk with the whole family, the parks in Oxford are right on your doorstep.
The picturesque canal is a beautiful waterway walk; our offices are situated near it and allow for a beautiful lunchtime walk for our colleagues. The canal is home to a rich variety of wildlife.

Eligibility of getting loan: Whom the bank Grant Credit, Is the Borrower Creditworthy?
The question that must be dealt with before any other is whether or not the customer can service the loan-that is, pay out the credit when due, with a comfortable margin for error. This usually involves a detailed study of six aspects of the loan application- character, capacity, cash, collateral, conditions, and control. All must be satisfactory for the loan to be a good one from the lender's point of view.
The loan officer must be convinced that the customer has a well-defined purpose for requesting bank credit and a serious intention to repay. If the officer is not sure exactly why the customer is requesting a loan, this purpose must be clarified to the bank's satisfaction.
Responsibility, truthfulness, serious purpose, and serious intention to repay all monies owed make up what a loan officer calls character.
The loan officer must be sure that the customer requesting credit has the authority to request a loan and the legal standing to sign a binding loan agreement. This customer characteristic is known as the capacity to borrow money. For example, in most states a minor (e.g., under age 18 or 21) cannot legally be held responsible for a credit agreement; thus, the bank would have great difficulty collectors on such a loan.
This key feature of any loan application centers on the question: Does the borrower have the ability to generate enough cash, in the form of cash flow, to repay the loan? In general, borrowing customers have only three sources to draw upon to repay their loans: or (a) cash flows generated from sales or income, (b) the sale or liquidation of assets, or (c) funds raised by issuing debt or equity securities. Any of these sources may provide sufficient cash to repay a bank loan.
In assessing the collateral aspect of a loan request, the loan officer must ask, does the borrower possess adequate net worth or own enough quality assets to provide adequate support for the loan? The loan officer is particularly sensitive to such features as the age, condition, and degree of specialization of the borrower's assets.
The loan officer and credit analyst must be aware of recent trends in the borrower's line of work or industry and how changing economic conditions might affect the loan.
The last factor in assessing a borrower's creditworthy status is control which centers on such questions as whether changes in law and regulation could adversely affect the borrower and whether the loan request meets the bank's and the regulatory authorities' standards for loan quality.

You Can't Spell LGBTQ/2S in BC without BIPOC and BLM
Commentary by Celine McRae-Hamdy
This year, in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, Pride Month (June, to coincide with the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, aka "the shot glass heard around the world", often considered the beginning of LGBTQ/2S community liberation ) overlapped with a global movement sparked by the murder of George Floyd, to reject the systemic racism, particularly systemic anti-Black racism in our laws, societies, and our communities. So, given these concurrences, one might be asking how does systemic racism affect LGBTQ/2S people in Canada?
How does it not?
Given that LGBTQ/2S people in Canada are already marginalized from the broader society and population by systemic discrimination, I think it is essential to address two concepts that may not be assumed to be common knowledge;
The first conceptirst is systemic discrimination, which broadly speaking can be thought of as background discrimination that is neither overt nor explicit. If there are no Indigenous people in your office or organization, even if there isn't an explicit rule about hiring Indigenous people, nor are your colleagues segregationists, systemic racism can be seen in the result of an Indigenous-free workspace in British Columbia. The important part to consider about systemic discrimination is that's it's usually not perceived, but can be understood as the background discrimination of a society or community. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear, similar to an invisible virus, without actively containing it's spread, we are all capable of spreading systemic discrimination unless we take active counter-measures; if you aren't actively working to be anti-discrimination in a space, systemic discrimination almost certainly remains in that space.
Next I'd like to address Intersectionality, a concept coined in 1989 by Dr. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw as;
"A metaphor for understanding the ways that multiple forms of inequality or disadvantage sometimes compound themselves and they create obstacles that often are not understood under conventional thinking of anti-racism or feminism or whatever social justice advocacy structures we have. Intersectionality is not so much a grand theory, it's a prism for understanding certain kinds of problems"
To put it another way, intersectionality gives us a way to look at how multiple overlapping forms of discrimination might not have the same effect as they each would individually; the total can be greater than the sum of its parts, so to speak.
If you've followed along this far, you're aware that there are multiple intersecting axis of systemic discrimination, that are so insidious they both permeate our society in every place, and do so in ways we often don't perceive unless we are on the receiving end. As most of us believe ourselves to be fairly decent people ("I'm not sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic!" etc) this is particularly uncomfortable for two reasons; we realize we may not even be able to perceive the systemic discrimination that surrounds us, which we wittingly and unwittingly participate in, and if we can't even see this systemic discrimination, we have even less idea of how to confront it. So what can one do?
This first thing to do is, simply put, don't get defensive! It is easy, and common, to assume systemic discrimination is either non-existent or unimportant, if it is so subtle.
Understanding the concept of systemic discrimination would be exhilarating if it wasn't so viscerally disturbing; as if learning a new sense, but the only sensation in the world was unpleasant and painful. An important aspect of systemic discrimination to understand is that it doesn't require an explicit motivation or intent, so looking for an individual to blame isn't helpful or productive. Part of this can be explained by understanding that since systemic discrimination permeates every facet of our society, the field has already been skewed before we even set foot on the pitch; systemic discrimination occurs in spaces that intersect with yours but over which you have little-to-no access, influence or control. Instead for trying to determine who-did-what-where-when, systemic discrimination can often best be detected by examining the results, not the intent.
For instance, if one works in an office that has never had an executive who wasn't a heterosexual cisgender white man, or if both the mean and median pay of one's female employees are consistently and significantly less than the mean and median pay of your male employees, respectively, even without understanding the particular mechanism at work, it can be inferred that systematic discrimination is present in one's space.
From all of this, it might sound like systemic racism in particular (and systemic discrimination in general) is a very subtle, and therefore minor grievance. If that's the case, then it likely means that one is from a non-racialized identity; that is to say, a person whose identity and presence in society isn't flattened to a racial identity, defined by the broader society and community. This is a salient time to bring up the concept of "microaggressions", which was originally coined by Professor Chester M. Pierce at Harvard, and which he coined as;
"These [racial] assaults to black dignity and black hope are incessant and cumulative. Any single one may be gross. In fact, the major vehicle for racism in this country is offenses done to blacks by whites in this sort of gratuitous neverending way. These offenses are microaggressions. Almost all black±white racial interactions are characterized by white put-downs, done in automatic, preconscious, or unconscious fashion. These mini disasters accumulate. It is the sum total of multiple microaggressions by whites to blacks that has pervasive effect to the stability and peace of this world."
Microaggressions are now understood as applying to most axis of discrimination, and can be broadly understood as language/behaviour/actions/policies that serve to cause harm to people not deemed to belong to the dominant culture, and remind them that they don't belong, without being so explicit that the dominant culture recognizes it as discrimination or harm.
At this point, while it might still seem that systemic racism in the LGBTQ/2S community in BC is a very esoteric concern, please consider the following;
For two years, the First Nations Health Authority, the public health authority responsible for delivering healthcare to Indigenous people in BC, neglected to create a communication strategy to inform Indigenous people that they were eligible to receive PReP, the preventative drug that dramatically reduces the risk of an individual becoming HIV positive, for free. Although PReP was not available for free from BC until 2018, a federal program had made access to PReP free to all Indigenous people in Canada in 2016! For want of a communication strategy that internalized combatting systemic racism in the LGBTQ/2S community, an estimated 500 Indigenous people in BC became HIV positive, who otherwise would not have, had they known of a medication that was available to them at no cost. If one can concede that the impact of this one example of systemic racism in the LGBTQ/2S community in BC is neither theoretical, nor imagined, then the magnitude of the total impact of this axis of systemic discrimination can start to be understood, and the challenge of undoing and unlearning can begin. And it it will only be a beginning, as now one can appreciate the breadth and depth of the earlier answer; "How does it not?"


People like me (a grad student) usually don't get invited to dinner parties, so this is a rare treat! On Oct 27th, 2013 Sunday evening at 5:00pm+, I went to Mr. John Thompson's Singapore home, where a few of the other guests were already gathered and we played guqin in Mr. Thompson's qin room (yes, he actually has a humidity-controlled guqin room!). At around 6:30pm, we made our way in 2 taxis to Peach Garden restaurant (located on level 33 of OCBC Centre in swanky Raffles Place).
Of course, after much fine-dining, we played (you guessed it!) even more tunes on guqin. A record was probably set for the highest location where any yaji took place in Singapore. hahaha *smile* This was one for the history books. ^_^ It was a very special treat for us, as Mr. Thompson played many rare guqin tunes for us that were usually not performed by other guqin maestros around the world.
This was the billion dollar view from inside our private VIP room where we dined. The Lion City is truly beautiful at night, especially when it was viewed from level 33 of a tall building.

Sichuan-style spicy noodles. I finished the noodles in one gulp. It was not a big portion. Bitesized.

Mr. Kenny Leong (organizer of the dinner party, and also a student of Mr. Thompson) played guqin in our VIP room inside the restaurant. It was also Kenny's birthday!
Mr. John Thompson played many rare ancient tunes for us on Kenny's banana-leaf shaped guqin.

Ainslie Hewett Bookplate Collection
DIGITAL COLLECTIONS About the Collection Bookplates, also known as ex libris , are labels pasted to the inside front cover of a book indicating ownership. Although some bookplates are simply text, others, with their ornate images, ornamentation, and calligraphy, are valued examples of design. Artists often employed engraving techniques such as wood cuts and copper or steel plates to create their prints. The Ainslie Hewett Bookplate Collection features 104 bookplates designed by Louisville native (George) Ainslie Hewett between 1909 and 1951. The bookplates were created for notable Louisville residents, as well as for clients across the United States. Ainslie Hewett was especially drawn to the Gothic style, the influence of which can be found in many of his designs.

Arthurian Romances
The Arthurian Romances, or MS 229, is one of the jewels in the crown of medieval manuscript illumination. Written in Northern France toward the end of the 13th century, this copy of the great French romance is known for the abundance and richness of its illuminations, and even more so for the intricacy, mystery, and wildness of the images in the margins including animals, jesters, archers, and musicians. About the Codex Parchment, ff. i (paper) + 363 + i (paper). Written in elegant gothic textura by one scribe, with a few interlinear corrections in later hands.

I'm patiently waiting for the day when I get to witness that one sad person who walks into a pole or door because he is more focused on his phone than on what's right in front of him. Sometimes, when I sit by myself in an airport or cafeteria, I people-watch and hope that day will be the day.
It hasn't happened yet, but with the growing population becoming more and more involved with the newest app, social site and interweb, I'm certain it will happen soon.
Keeping watch for the latest social media fad and new social app is nowhere on my to-do list.
Being a full-time student, mom, wife and keeping a job takes up most of my time as well as being my main focus.
So when my sister and my best friend finally talked me into getting a semi-new social app, I wasn't surprised when I was disappointed.
First, calling Snapchat a social app is pointless.
There are only 34 spaces available to add text. Twitter even has more than that, and that site even irks me at times when I want to pour my heart out to all seven people who may or may not care to take the time to read it.
Second, it takes way too long to send all 394 pictures that I take of my son each day to each one of those seven followers individually when it only takes a few minutes to upload all 719,050 pictures for the whole world to like, comment, share, save, and stalk.
And last, it's a sham. The app says you can share the picture or video and choose the time limit for the receiver to view it and then it disappears. Gone for good. Those are all lies.
The break of dawn, no make-up on and pre-coffee picture I sent to my sister didn't seem to disappear at all. It spread. Like a disease. An embarrassing, start-buying-more-makeup-and-oversized-sunglasses type of disease.
Snapchat, you have failed. You have not only failed to provide a useful app, but also the young generations growing up are now too focused on selfies and snap chatting pointless, non-verbal, non-communicational chats, thus taking away social skills.
