Coming to Terms by Abdul Abdullah
The intriguing show named 'Coming to Terms' is emerging artist Abdul Abdullah's New York debut, featuring a new series of performative photographic portraits. The 29-year-old Abdullah is one of the most interesting emerging artists coming out of Australia, who after graduating from Curtin University had a focus on painting and in recent years moved into photography and video. Notions of contemporary ceremony, genesis, ritual, reinforcement of personal identity, cultural hybridity and intimate aspects of the self are revealed in his work through his darkly distinctive oeuvre that is confronting and deeply elucidating in regard to the human condition. We are super fascinated by both the images itself as the symbolic instilled in them, and look forward what the future will hold for this exciting young Australian artist. When in New York see this incredible work! [ Continue reading ]
Norse Projects Autumn/Winter 2015
It's been a number of years since we have last written about Copenhagen-based creative studio and clothing brand Norse Projects, but with the just released imagery for the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection they really caught our attention. The new lookbook was produced by a remarkble team: consisting of the talented photographers Justin Chung - who we know through his incredible 'Faculty Department' project - and Luke Norman alongside Inventory Magazine's fashion director - and one of the most inspirational people working in fashion - stylist Stephen Mann. The series puts a clear focus on those elements which Norse has become famous for since its foundation in 2004. The images show the collection's purist approach along with progressive ideals through the use of aerial lines, soft textures, and subtle details, including technical inspired directional outerwear in soft hues and muted tones. And not just the collection itself stands out, as the series was shot upon the backdrop of another favorite of ours: the workshop of noted Scandinavian furniture design house Fritz Hansen.

California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties
Although we have taken many beautiful things (and memories) with us from San Francisco when we visited two weeks ago, one of our favorite things we discovered is the extraordinary book 'California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties'. Combining both color and black and white imagery gathered from a variety of photographers and private collections, the publication by the expert when it comes to the subject; T. Adler, paints a undeniably appealing picture of an exciting era full of experiment and evolution. Aside from the wide selection of archival photographs, the book features short passages written by Yvon Chouinard, Steve Pezman and Steve Roper, which give personal accounts of what was happening at the time and help to bring the images to life. Each photo is also extensively captioned, noting the individuals involved and their influence on these sports throughout the Fifties and beyond. This information adds an interesting layer of depth and personality to the publication, which ultimately serves as an evocative look back at a golden age, and the growth of two archetypical Californian countercultures. We love this elegant and insightful gem! [ Continue reading ]

Reading 78 by Gil Rigoulet
Last week, on the 22nd of July, a great exhibition opened in the Parisian bar Ground Control, curated by the interesting young Mayday Mayday Mayday art/street culture platform. In the show named 'Reading 78', the still quite unknown but greatly talented French photographer Gil Rigoulet transports the spectator into the universe of the uncompromising British punk movement during the late Seventies. One year after the release of the now legendary and paradigm shifting 'Nevermind the Bollocks' record by the Sex Pistols, the English youth was having great fun, dancing like never before to the rhythms of the ever-hardening furious riffs. Taking place in the city of Reading, during its legendary rock festival: in the series a lawless zone is revealed in all its glory, portrayed in grainy black and white photographs - showing that in 1978 everything seemed to still be possible.

Transition by Lauren Marsolier
Recently we stumbled upon the truly magnificent work of Los Angeles-based photographer Lauren Marsolier. The French-born creates extraordinary images that are convincingly real using multiple photographs, unrelated fragments of the outside world collected over time in a variety of locations. Months or years often separate the capture of elements juxtaposed in her landscapes; a technique reminiscent of the art of painting. Her work probes the mental process of transition - hence its moniker - a particular phase when our parameters of perception shift, when we suddenly don't see ourselves, our environment, or our life quite the same way we used to. These transitional periods often feel like being in a place one knows, but can't quite identify. We can't stop gazing at these remarkable photographs, which seem to tell deep stories of solitude and show a clinical beauty which feels both surreal and keeps haunting us. [ Continue reading ]
Bountiful by Noah Emrich
We are big fans of Chris Black's New York City-based Done to Death Projects, which has been releasing inspirational printed titles over the course of the last few years. Among the publications one finds the work of another one of our favorites; photographer Mikael Kennedy, next to the recent title which we really like by Chris Black himself: 'I Know You Think You Know It All: Advice and Observations For You to Stand Apart in Public and Online' and now Done to Death Projects presents 'Bountiful', a new book from the very talented young photographer Noah Emrich. During the summer of 2013, Emrich embarked on a 12.000 mile trip around the United States, with the goal to capture post-recession America, searching for the remainders of the once glorious American Dream. The result is a haunting series putting the finger on the sore spot of a proud and powerful country reluctantly having to find a new identity to match its current state of being. [ Continue reading ]
Paul Smith Autumn/Winter 2015
After we wrote about the inspirational presentation of the summer version of his A Suit To Travel In, Paul Smith once more shows his remarkable vision in the campaign of his Autumn/Winter 2015 collection. Capturing the confident use of color in the designs, the campaign for the inspirational designer's collection is the first Paul Smith collection to be shot by the photographic artist Viviane Sassen, who we have been admiring ourselves for years. And what a wonderful hybrid of worlds the campaign has become - both creatives having an eye for exquisite stand out colors and the beauty of aesthetic contrast. As part of the campaign one can spot that the signature 'Paul Smith' logo is re-imagined with a playful sense of scale and positioning. A sense of modernity and wit is present throughout the campaign, echoing the essential qualities of Paul Smith, making the campaign a clear season favorite of ours. [ Continue reading ]

Rosa et Al
Before we travelled to Porto at the beginning of last May it had been 8 years since we visited the beautiful city on the North-West coast of Portugal. Over the last few years we have visited its big brother - and one of our favorite cities period - Lisbon and the beautiful South of the country several times, but a little over two months ago we decided it was time to revisit the city located along the Douro river estuary and name giver to the most famous Portugese export product: port wine. And what a difference it was from earlier experiences. First of all the city appeared to be much cleaner and felt more fresh, we were able to find better places to eat its incredible cuisine, and compared to last time we were able to find more appealing places to stay. The wonderful Rosa Et Al is one of them, in which we truly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Porto. [ Continue reading ]

Wim Wenders: Written in the West, Revisited
In 1983, looking for the locations that would bring the desolate landscape of the American West to life in his iconic film 'Paris, Texas', German master filmmaker Wim Wenders took his Makina Planbel camera on the road. Driving through Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, Wenders was captivated by the unique, saturated, colorful light of the wild landscape of the American West - even now, a land associated with cowboys and outlaws, and suffused with the mythology of the frontier. The series he produced, 'Written in the West', was first exhibited in 1986 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and first published in 2000. At the end of July, Wenders will add 15 new images of the sleepy town that gave the movie its name - though no footage was ever actually shot there. Made with a Fuji 6 x 4.5 camera, the new photographs are poetic documents of an abiding fascination and a search for personal memories. Together, they add an new chapter to Wenders' classic 'Written in the West', now Revisited. [ Continue reading ]
Ways of Knowing
The incredible 'Ways of Knowing' by photographer Daniel Stier is the product of a curious outsider's view into the world of science, which has resulted in a series, shot over several years, revealing a strangely fascinating yet highly aesthetic world. The self-initiated project by Stier shows research laboratories across Europe and the United States as well as still lifes of scientific tools taken in photographer's studio. The combination draws parallels between the work of artists and scientists. Both often-times searching to find answers to what move us by examining life - with their own specific tools. The blank expressions of the doctors and students demonstrating the machinery are haunting, almost surrealistic, as they sit seemingly indifferent inside or surrounded by intricate wires and metal constructions. Stier's sharp photographic eye - which reminds us of the work of another lover of heavy machinery; Alastair Philip Wiper - catches the details surrounding these enormous machines perfectly, creating frames which tell rich stories starting in the past and taking the spectator all the way into the future.

David Cohen de Lara
We have been following the talented photographer David Cohen de Lara for a while now and have appreciated his incredible work ever since we first found it. David's portrait photography is diverse in style, but always beautiful, full of mystery and character. Through his cinematic and atmospheric images he reveals an authentic sense of beauty and personality in the real and the uninhibited. We can't take our eyes off his intriguing images.

Bare Journal
The inspirational printed project named Bare is a journal for which founder and Creative Director; Claudia Bruno, as well as Co-Editors-in Chief; Emily Lundin and Courtney Saunders find inspiration in the unadorned moment of truth. The magazine forms their ode to the raw beauty of realism, with all of their collaborators working with no creative brief, except for one quite unusual restriction in the digital age; no use of retouching is allowed. Bare - which was founded in 2014 - gives Bruno and her team the perfect context to work with artists, writers and photographers they admire, creating beautiful stories. Next to the fact that Bruno, Lundin and Saunders all are being located in different places on the globe, the workplaces of the complete team of Bare range from Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, New York City, Berlin, Montana to Los Angeles. Making the magazine a wonderful example of remote working, without it getting in the way of the diverse elegant quality it offers throughout its pages. [ Continue reading ]

The New Bohemians
In 'The New Bohemians', the Los Angeles-based designer Justina Blakeney defines the New Bohemians as creative individuals who are boutique owners and bloggers, entrepreneurs and ex-pats, artists and urban farmers. They embrace free-spirited, no-rules lifestyles and apply that attitude to all areas of their existence, including their homes. With little distinction between work and play, the new boho home often includes an office, art gallery, showroom, photography studio, restaurant, or even a pop-up shop. 'The New Bohemians' explores 20 homes located primarily on the East and West coasts. Exclusive interviews with the owners, 12 DIY projects created by Blakeney and inspired by objects found in the homes, and a "Plant-O-Pedia" offer insight into achieving this aesthetic. In addition, each home is accompanied by an Adopt-an-Idea section that offers general decor, styling, and shopping tips for easy duplication in your own home. [ Continue reading ]

Back to Nothing
Alexis Vasilikos is a very talented Athens-based photographer and the co-editor of Phases Magazine. His immaculate photographic eye explores the presence of the aesthetic in everyday life and is an intimate contemplation on the nature of emptiness. His images have a contemplative quality, they show the spectator the serendipities of life and the essence of signs. Through Vasilikos' unique gaze, life seems to be more magical. One of his series which we discovered recently, named 'Back to Nothing' is no different. The incredible collection of photographs is the result of Vasilikos' most recent travel to India. The photographer first visited the colorful country in 2004 in search for a spiritual teacher, which he found in Rishikesh, where he became familiar with a Guru named Mooji. Over the years that followed the photographer returned to India three times, proving to be highly inspirational experiences - both spiritually as artistically (although one could argue that this is somewhat intertwined). The incredible 'Back to Nothing' series - which clearly comes from a bright eye - is the result of Vasilikos' most recent trip to India, earlier this year. [ Continue reading ]

Many of Them Magazine
We recently became familiar with the inspirational print project of editors-in-chief Antonio Maccaro and Pedro Canicoba, named Many of Them. The beautiful magazine has been released thrice now - in different forms - but always in a limited edition publication of 1000 copies. The aim of Many of Them is to offer a space for discussion in which creators can share their perspective about their own field, their languages and the problems they face in their everyday practices. It originally started as a diary in 2008 and it keeps evolving into different formats. All the images and texts are produces in-house, always intending to learn from the external collaborations for the new issues. In the Summer of last year the inspirational Volume III, named after Talking Heads' classic 'This Must Be The Place' was launched featuring photography driven stories on creative leaders like the Cosmic Wonder restaurant, Junya Watanabe, Dries Van Noten, Paul Harnden, Khaven de la Cruz, Christophe Lemaire and Issey Miyake, amongst others.

Manual for Speed
With competitive road cycling slowly finding restoration of its former glory by the growing popularity of the sport, the cycling universe continues to expand with interesting new projects, from fashion to a growing field of dedicated media. One of the most impressive new finds for us is: Manual For Speed - as stated by themselves - a preeminent road cycling journalism experience and cultural phenomenon. On their state-of-the-art, perfectly chaotic website they publish race reports (which aren't race reports) as well as interviews, manuals, typologies, visual showcases and bonus treasures. Subsequently they aim to release on paper whenever possible. In addition to its online focus on spectacle, Manual For Speed plainly champions human athletes; exceptionally gifted - physically & physiologically speaking - men and women with personality; meaning perspective, insight, character, context and point-of-view. All of which are what they (and we) believe make the sport of road cycling not just exciting, but interesting too. As avid cycling enthousiasts ourselves we urge everyone to step into the totally unique cycling crazed world of Manual for Speed and be inspired to ride. [ Continue reading ]

Ropes & Knots by Luke Stephenson
We have been following British photographer Luke Stephenson since our collaboration with him, when we gave a signed and numbered copy of his 'An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds' as our fourth Curated gift in 2013. In the following years Luke has kept very busy and made a name for himself through his exquisite eye for details which transcends his impeccable imagery, both in free project as on commissions. Recently another series of Luke has caught our attention when he portrayed Des Pawson (and some of his beloved knots, ropes and tools), the founder of the interesting Museum of Knots and Sailors' Ropes for a feature in the inspirational magazine Hole & Corner. The incredible series by the photographer shows Stephenson's great talent, giving a wonderful and inspirational peek into the fascinating world of nautical ropes and knots guided by Pawson in an utmost aesthetic manner.

We've been a fan of the inspirational work of American photographer Mikael Kennedy for years now. After releasing the incredible Done to Death Projects publication 'California' last year, he has now returned on its own with a sequel to that series named 'New Mexico'. In the same familiar toned down color palette, Kennedy once more takes the spectator on one of his tremendous journeys through wide open landscapes, which he distilled into a collection of 31 color photographs blessed with his signature aesthetic, taken during his stay in the American state last November. Kennedy presents the new project in a tremendous 44-page zine, which was printed in his homebase New York City - limited to 200 copies. We can't get enough of Kennedy's images which evoke somewhat of an escapist and melancholic sentiment within the beauty of the depicted landscapes, making us want to hit to road every time we lay our eyes on them.

Rua Stan Getz by André Cepeda
With a short but wonderful stay in beautiful Portugal coming to an end, we present the latest by one of our favorites from the country: Lisbon-based publisher Pierre von Kleist editions. The relatively small publishing house continues to release incredible additions to their highly focussed catalogue, making the company an inspirational example for the practice of publishing in the contemporary climate - releasing only publications of the highest quality, in limited runs. Their latest release is named 'Rua Stan Getz' and features the work of Portugese photographer André Cepeda, who released 'Rien' with the same publisher three years prior to this one. In the year 'Rien' was released, Cepeda spent three intense months in São Paulo, exploring and photographing the city, while reevaluating the very nature of his practice - resulting in this incredible warm series created from an open and sensitive perspective, showing the great talent of the photographer.

Tokyo Parrots
The Japanese photographer Yoshinori Muzutani released the incredible series 'Tokyo Parrots' in 2013 and since then it has left an unforgettable impression on us. The escaped parakeets - not actually parrots - have flourished in the city of Tokyo for some decades now, and likewise fascinated photographer Yoshinori Mizutani, who upon his first encounter with them was struck by apprehension and fear, as if he had walked into Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds'. Unnatural as they seemed in the urban environment, he followed the flocks and watched their daily patterns, eventually locating one of the largest nesting places in a certain ginkgo tree. After some resesarch Mizutani found out that these parakeets were brought to Japan in the 1960s and 1970s from tropical regions in India and Sri Lanka to be sold as pets, but which have been roaming the city after the owners lost interest. The result of his bird watching study is a highly remarkable, aesthetic series of surreal photographs revealing a tropical urban world inhabited by parakeets. [ Continue reading ]

Tempo Polveroso
After writing about Virginie Khateeb's visit to the marble quarries of Carrara and sharing the incredible 'Il Capo' documentary that was shot in the area, we found a new inspirational artist - Belgian photographer Frederik Vercruysse - who has explored that fascinating place on earth and returned with some impressive work named 'Temo Polveroso' or 'Pulverised Time'. The project which Vercruysse initially had in mind when embarking on his residency at Villa Lena was a new series of still lifes, but he soon felt compelled to capture his inspirational surroundings in images rather than remain within the four walls of his studio. His photographs of the marble quarries reveal a similar dynamic as Khateeb's images - showing a mixture of an utmost raw beauty and solitary melancholy, which could be seen as a metaphor for the embodiment of the area: the creation of beauty at the expense of nature. Without any human beings in the frames, it is impossible to fathom the larger-than-life scale of this totally unique form of landscape exploitation/architecture. The series of 16 stunning images over which a cloud of mysterious, powdery mist appears to be suspended, will be on display at the inspirational gallery/store Graanmarkt 13 in Antwerpen until Saturday 30 May.

Lush Life by Katja Kremenić
And yet another extraordinary analogue series by the super talented Berlin-based Croatian photographer Katja Kremenić. For the beautiful series which she named 'Lush Life', Katja once again finds herself in paradise, on the beaches of Central American Costa Rica - where she also shot her 'Rip Currents' series, through which we discovered her work - this time creating a visual narrative in her signature romantic free-floating style for the inspirational Australia-based travel platform The Adventure Handbook. Kremenić continues to excel in translating a broad field of emotions into her photographs, making the fragmentations of her gaze almost tangible through the frames of her images. Her continuing fascination with the beach both proves to be an everlasting source of aesthetic inspiration in the creation of her highly appealing images as the perfect environment for her to create in. We can't wait for more beautiful stories by Katja Kremenić. [ Continue reading ]
P Magazine is a Monterrey, Mexico-based, highly aesthetic annual object-book, with each issue published as a limited collector's edition. The project was first announced in 2012, after which the debut was printed in the Summer of 2013. The impressive project - forming another great addition to the growing field of elegant printed erotisicm - was founded and created by the so-called supermodernist design studio Face, with its founder/head designer Rik Brancho also functioning as the Editor-in-Chief of P Magazine. Next to Brancho stand the other co-founders; photographers Mariana García, who's also Rik's wife and Cecy Young. Additional editorial design for the proejct was done by Cristina Vila Nadal. Following the successful sold out first edition - limited to 300 copies - the beautiful second edition was released in 500 copies at the beginning of this year - make sure to get one until it's too late.

The Selby in Morocco
Yet another beautiful series by the always inspiring Todd Selby, who shared his photographs after traveling through beautiful Morocco at the end of last year. With his signature color-orientated eye, the Selby reveals some tremendous shades of blue in different Moroccan cities. The color is famous for being the dominant choice when it comes to the facades of structures - both building as roads and passages - within the city of Chefchaouen (often referred to as the most colorful city of the world), but also in Yves Saint Laurent's favorite Moroccan city, Marrakesh the photographer finds deep blues, which we love. His last destinations lays some 50 kilometers South of Marrakesh and is known as some of the more beautiful mountain retreats of Morocco, named Tamadot. There he visited the award-winning Kasbah Tamadot hotel, which was bought by Sir Richard Branson during one of his famous ballooning expeditions some years ago and has become a destination of choice for those who value peaceful quiet elegance, rather than loud luxury. Each of the 27 rooms and suites has been individually decorated to reflect the beautiful architecture of the building and features antiques from all over the world. We love these beautiful glimpses of colorful Morocco through the eyes of The Selby. [ Continue reading ]


On 11/29/2009, news of the results of the vote against minarets echoed like a shockwave in Switzerland, shaking up political circles along the way and making waves well beyond Switzerland's national borders. South of the Mediterranean, naturally, but also overseas, where Americans marveled in surprise that progressive Europe could display such backwardness on the subject of religious diversity. Our country began looking at the Muslim world with concern, worried about possible acts of retaliation generated by this indirect insult.
After the initial embarrassment and fears had died down, policymakers and citizens were left with the task of understanding why this proposal, regarded as ludicrous, had been met with so much popular support and how we could have underestimated the importance of an appropriate opposition to it. Also, it remained to be shown that the initiative "was not the expression of a hostile sentiment towards Islam and Muslims in Switzerland". In parallel with some political initiatives, a group of Swiss Muslims formed in order to study the motivations for the vote and identify some specific ways of responding to it. This "Group of Swiss Muslims" (GSM), an informal citizen venue for the exchange of information, reflection and suggestion, analyzed the reality and phenomenon of underrepresentation of the community in Swiss society. Today, it is publishing a catalogue of proposals addressed at the government (federal, cantonal and municipal), Muslim communities and other religious groups, political parties, opinion makers and citizens.
The debates about Islam in Switzerland are often couched in terms of the question of immigrant integration, even though a large part of the Muslim population is Swiss national and we can only list rare, specific problems of coexistence with Muslims in Switzerland. In fact, the analysis of the vote confirmed that the deeper problem raised by the "anti-minaret" initiative is related to the negative image of Islam and Muslims in Swiss society.
Arising from questions of national and international policy independent of the Muslims in Switzerland, this skewed perception is also evidenced by the weak representation of Muslims in Swiss public life. A desire for discretion, the refusal to impose religion in the public domain, under mobilized capacities, and a degree of discrimination conspire to keep Muslims from fully participating in society.
The catalogue of recommendations proposed by the GSM provides an overview of what is currently taking place in Switzerland, in order to promote inclusion and cohesion. It suggests some complementary courses of action that would grant Swiss Muslims full social, political and associative participation, and underscore their contributions to society. These measures aim to strengthen two areas: communication and citizenship. The first, because better information and open channels of communication would allow to make the distinction between prejudice and mutual reluctance, and reality; the second, so that a shared commitment to society can overcome the fears and misunderstandings expressed by the vote. In this document, we can see that the majority of the recommendations are addressed to Muslims in Switzerland, reflecting the GSM's desire to engage its own communities and distance itself from a "wait and see" attitude regarding society. The fact remains that every effort is necessary to live well in the context of cultural pluralism and to replace rejection with respect. It is to this that the catalogue of recommendations hopes to contribute.


Genogenesis7 (also known as Greeno in the forums) is a moderately active member of MFGG. He's mostly known for the various sound effects he's ripped, as well as his modestly successful web series, "Genogenesis7 Fangame Showcase Theatre".
Genogenesis7 has, to date, only completed either fairly short and simplistic fan games or ridiculous joke games. He is at the moment working on a much larger project, though - Super Mario Bros.: The Cookie of Destiny. His motivation for the project seems to have fallen, though, leaving its future uncertain.
Besides this, he was also rather notable in the genesis of the Crowbar Toss fad, setting into motion the general idea and contributing two games, as well as his involvement and appearances in the Super Charisma Bros. series.
Below is a full list of fan games Genogenesis7 has either completed or is currently working on. There aren't articles for a lot of these, but they should come in due time.
As mentioned, Geno has a rather formidable number of sound effects he has ripped. he also has an ongoing series on his Youtube channel where he plays a multitude of fan games on MFGG while commentating over them, a series that he calls "Genogenesis7 Fangame Showcase Theatre". Its main goal is to make sure that certain overlooked fan games get more publicity, but he also does it just because it's fun and not all that time-consuming.
Genogenesis7 also had a phase earlier in life where he was an active contributor to newgrounds, again, with modest attention and critical reception, but he lost the resources that allowed him to create flash movies. He hopes to return to this someday, though.
Geno's avatar is a green Geno with a 7 replacing the qp symbol. He has gone through many art shifts in his time, until finally settling on a set design. He created his avatar and username when he was very young, and regards both as extremely mediocre, but he's decided to keep them because he's gotten used to them, as well as the fact that he finds them funny in a so-bad-it's-good sense.

The current Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has released two new resources that will also assist organisations in examining their child safe practices:
Key Elements of Child Safe Organisations: Research Study
Creating Child Safe Institutions
The Royal Commission has listed ten elements of a child safe organisation compared to the nine domains in the Commissioner's Child Safe Organisations WA resources.
The Royal Commission's additional element, Equity is promoted and diversity respected, is integrated across all nine elements of Child Safe Organisations WA, emphasising that organisations need to develop and implement strategies for promoting the participation and safety of all children.
Child Safe Organisations WA recognises the specific needs of different groups such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex children and young people, the barriers experienced by children and young people with a disability or experience of trauma, and the importance of culture for Aboriginal children and young people, and those from culturally diverse backgrounds.
The Royal Commission has indicated that in their final report to be handed down in December 2017 a volume will be dedicated to child safe organisations.

We have a charger in our parking spot under the building and mostly drive in the city so this car is perfect. This is the latest model with the extended range which can get you up to 250km of range (when it's not below 8 degrees Celsius).
We have young teenagers and it's not that great in the back and the funky doors are sometimes tricky to get out of and close.
Driving is much fun and everything works great; love the BMW functionality and quality. Will write updates as she ages with us.


You are constantly building personal and professional networks, as well as being surrounded by different cultures and experiences.
"Before coming to the UK, I was studying for the International Baccalaureate at Pathways World School in India. After I graduated I knew I wanted to study economics abroad and I chose the UK because of its excellent teaching reputation and its status within the global economy.
"I chose NTU for the uniqueness of the course I'm studying, BA Economics, Finance and Banking. The course allows me to study a range of economic-based subjects but under one degree. Moreover, NTU also boasts an excellent employability rate in which 93% of undergraduate students are employed or engaged in further study six months after leaving the University. This was really attractive me. On top of that my course offered an opportunity to take a sandwich year, which allows me to work for a full year in the industry that I am studying. This year will not only help me understand my degree further but also give me hands-on experience that I can include on my CV when I am looking for a graduate job.
"Studying abroad is something that will push you out of your comfort zone but at the same time the experience is so worthwhile. Before I made my decision to study here I was given the following advice, 'The risks of breaking out of your comfort zone aren't nearly as bad as the risks of staying in it your whole life' and this could not be more true. You are constantly building personal and professional networks, as well as being surrounded by different cultures and experiences that shape your learning. In my opinion, stepping out of your comfort zone is the best decision you can make.
"I will be starting my work placement in July 2015 as a Campaign Manager at Teradata in London. The Employability Team at the University helped me find this job and they are available to assist you throughout the whole recruitment process with anything from CV-writing to interview skills. They can even help you find part-time employment while you are studying. I have already been working as a fundraiser in the local community which has been a great way to integrate into British life as well as earn some money while you are studying.
"As a city, Nottingham is beautiful. It's very traditional but with many modern facilities and a vibrant social scene. It's really easy to meet new people here – Nottingham has a huge student community across two large universities and this allows you to be around people from all types of diverse backgrounds. Meeting people from different cultures and countries allows you to understand what you are studying from numerous perspectives while at the same time learning how to accommodate and make friends on a global level. You learn something special from each individual you meet and this is something that will stay with me for life."


Since April 2017 Josephine Kantan works as solar operator at Phebe Hospital in Bong county, Liberia. She also continues to be in charge of the Diesel generator there. Josephine Kantan visited the recent EnDev workshop series for solar experts at the GIZ Health Project in Congo Town from the 27.03.2018-29.03.2018. The Renewables-Liberia Team used the opportunity to do an interview with her as she is one of a few women working in the power sector of Liberia.
Renewables-Liberia: There are only few women in Liberia working in the power sector and in the field of technology, so how did it come that you perused a career in this area?
Renewables-Liberia: The technical field in Liberia is still dominated by males. So, how did you get into this area?
Renewables-Liberia: Tell us about the solar system at Phebe Hospital which was installed in April 2017. What has changed through the system?
Renewables-Liberia: Thank you for your time!


The Public Accounts Committee report says that during 2016–17 HS2 Ltd made £1.76 million of unauthorised payments to staff—a shocking waste of taxpayers' money—through compulsory and voluntary redundancy schemes offered at enhanced terms well in excess of those authorised by the Department for Transport.
There is no means for these sums to be recovered. The unauthorised schemes were able to proceed because weak internal processes at HS2 Ltd prevented key decision-making and scrutiny bodies from receiving accurate information.
HS2 Ltd lacks basic financial controls in other important areas, heightening the risk of fraud and financial errors such as duplicate payments. This situation is exacerbated by an excessively high rate of staff turnover.
Both the Department and HS2 Ltd need to address these issues as a matter of urgency to ensure that this flagship infrastructure project is delivered successfully and that the company meets the high standards expected of it.
We remain concerned that the relationship between the Department for Transport and HS2 Ltd was not robust enough to prevent this and that ultimately Simon Kirby, the then-Chief Executive of HS2 Ltd, has not been held to account for his actions.
High Speed 2 Limited (HS2 Ltd) is a government-owned company which was established in 2009 to manage and deliver the £55.7 billion High Speed 2 rail link between London, Manchester and Leeds, via Birmingham.
In 2016, HS2 Ltd's management decided to relocate staff from its London office to Birmingham, and chose to run a redundancy scheme for staff who would no longer be needed or who were unwilling to move.
Despite David Prout, the then-Director General High Speed 2 Group within the Department for Transport, telling Simon Kirby, the then-Chief Executive, in April 2016 that it was only allowed to offer statutory redundancy terms, HS2 Ltd offered staff enhanced redundancy terms.
HS2 Ltd committed to paying a total of £2.76 million in redundancy payments to 94 individuals. In comparison, statutory redundancy terms would have resulted in payments to the same individuals worth a total of only £1 million.
The Comptroller & Auditor General issued a qualified audit opinion on the company's accounts in July 2017 as £1.76 million of the redundancy payments were unauthorised.
Both the Comptroller & Auditor General and the Government Internal Audit Service found a number of significant weaknesses in HS2 Ltd's controls, which create risks of fraud and error.

Q: Angular allows for overscrolling on mobile, leaving white bar I noticed that on mobile phones, if you scroll to the bottom of my Angular page (which uses Angular Material and some Bootstrap elements), you are sometimes able to "overscroll" for a lack of better words. This results in the background of the browser itself being shown - in Chrome mobile this would be a white bar, for Firefox mobile with dark mode enabled it would be a black bar.

Interestingly enough, this does not happen when I try to replicate it using the developer mode of Chrome or Firefox on my PC, leading me to believe that it has something to do with the way mobile browsers handle my page. Here is a video of my trying to replicate it on my PC.

As far as I am aware, this issue appears on all my pages. Just for the sake of completeness, here is the source code of the page entry.component.html:

'Throw Greece out of the Euro and make it use the drachma again…'
"Throw Greece out of the Euro and make it use the drachma again." If you had a pound for every respected economist or political commentator who made that very point over the past months, you would probably have enough to pay off the national debt of a small country – or at least your own credit card debt.
But how many have considered the practicalities? Or the effect on the twelve million Greeks? Back in mid September, Mindful Money was the first to question the mechanics of how this could happen – leaving aside the question of its desirability. Now this has been fleshed out further in The Financial Times – more of this later.
Since our logistics article first appeared, however, a mini-industry has arisen, showing Greeks as lazy, corrupt, feckless, greedy – and any other derogatory adjective that comes to the commentator's mind. Channel 4 is currently airing prime time series "Go Greek for a week" which, the publicity blurb suggests, seems to press every stereotype button. Here it is – in full.
Three British families try out the tax, pensions and work practices that caused Greece's economic crisis and brought on the austerity measures aimed at cutting the deficit and qualifying for EU bailouts.
A 54-year-old British hairdresser discovers the generosity of the Greek pensions system, which still allows hairdressers, pastry chefs, radio continuity announcers and people in almost 600 other jobs to retire aged 53 at 90% of their final salary because their jobs are defined as hazardous.
A bus driver reaps the rewards of the Greek approach to state-run services, where bus drivers could be paid up to almost double the national average salary and receive extra bonuses for arriving at work early and for checking bus tickets.
And a British surgeon is delighted to discover how paying income tax the Greek way will transform his disposable income.
The personal experiences of the three main characters are supported by expert interviews that establish the patterns of tax evasion, corruption and mismanagement that have helped to sink the Greek economy.
Now imagine what Greek TV could do with "Go Brit for a week."
It would feature dysfunctional families, teenage parents, pensions mis-selling including the myth of retiring at 50, police pensions paid at around 50, banks ripping off customers with dodgy products, bankers earning a hundred times more than the salaries of average people, insider trading, highly paid London tube drivers, government mismanagement and waste in big computer projects (NHS, National Identity), offshore tax dodging by huge corporates, and the special HMRC unit set up to catch tax-cheating doctors.
Every country has tax evasion, corruption, mismanagement and all sorts of other problems. They just don't all look the same. So why pick on the Greeks? In one word, the answer is Scapegoat, defined years ago "as a person or category of people typically with little power, whom people unfairly blame for their own troubles."
Scapegoat theory takes this further.
The Greeks get especial attention because there are not many of them, they use a different alphabet and most have never seen a Greek person outside of a tourist resort.
Take a look at this blog on the Proactive Investor website. Unless the writer is displaying total irony, it is a good summation of the Greek stereotype. Now imagine what would happen if Jews or Lesbians were substituted for Greeks as the target. It simply would not happen – let alone that it would fall foul of hate laws.
The reality is that there are hard-working, badly paid Greeks and Brits; there are also lazy, overpaid Greeks and Brits. And Italians. And Germans. And Spaniards. And French. And Danes. And so on.
At least some readers of The Guardian have cottoned on to the scapegoating.
The next episode of the Channel 4 programme is due to screen on Friday 25, November at the not very prime time of 4am.
So what will happen if the desires of the economists are turned into flesh?
One instance of "forward planning" is travel group TUI's renegotiating contracts into drachmas.
Greece leaving the euro will result in a veritable Pandora's Box, according to an article in Financial Times by Robert Jenkins, an external member of the interim financial policy committee at the Bank of England.
His scenario includes disputes over denomination of debts, contagion as the panic to get euro accounts out of the country spreads from Greece to Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, confusion over debts, and the need for capital controls at border posts – difficult in the world of easy to cross borders in the Schengen zone.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of Greek entry into the euro in the first place, throwing the country out could prove to be a very European tragedy.

I am talking this week about a topic I feel verypassionate about.
If you are a sensitive person, this blog is probably notfor you.
If you think consistent seam allowances are merely asuggestion, this blog is not for you.
If you think turning out quilts en mass is the best thing since sliced bread, this blog isdefinitely not for you.
If you think that good technique is optional, then do meand you both a favor and just stop reading right now.
And if you think just anybody can turn out a great quiltpattern…you're delusional.
The topic I would like to discuss is this: The Dumbing Down of Quilting. This is not a new idea. Around 2011, when the Modern Quilt Movementwas getting its legs, this was a fairly hot topic floating around the quiltsites on the internet. I kept quiet atthat time, still sifting the topic through two filters: That of a quilter and that of a high schoolscience teacher.
See, as a teacher (of both science and quilting), I realized something – in order to get folks starteddown the path of success in either field, you couldn't throw advanced topics atbeginners and expect them to grasp those immediately and be successful. You had to start with the basics, emphasizethem until the student fully understands them, and then build on those precepts. What I saw in the quilting arena was theopposite. We had one group of moreexperienced quilters who were expecting a younger group of quilters to be justlike they were, perform just like they did, make quilts just like everyone elsedid, and be completely successful without much teaching.
And from the younger quilters I saw more attachment toblogs, the internet groups, Facebook groups, Instagram, and Pinterest than Idid actual personal contact with quilters who had been toiling at their art foryears and knew a few things that the latest, greatest quilt blogger didnot.
There was a great deal of arrogance on the part of bothgroups.
In my mind, we more experienced quilters had to realizethat the new generation of quilters probably lacked two things that we took forgranted: We had sewing classes in highschool (where I attended, those classes were mandatory), and we had mothers orother family members that sewed. Wecould go to them with questions. The next generation lacked one or both ofthose factors.
Thus, the Dumbing Down of Quilting began.
Allow me to explain my way of thinking about this topic.
Like all great wars (and I do consider this a battle), thejump to a full-fledged assault didn't begin with just one issue or oneaction. As the Arts and Crafts movementbegin a resurgence in popularity, fabric designers saw an opportunity to cashin on the development. This process ledto more lines of fabric, more attention to popular colors (such as the PantoneColor of the Year), as well as more internet sites from which to purchasematerial. We were barraged with the newcolors and patterns. This wasn't a badthing. Pretty fabric attracts new sewersand quilters. Fabric websites wereselling their goods a brisk clip – which unfortunately eventually led to thedemise of many LQSs.
Along with the fabric came a new bunch of folks thatthought they could design patterns and instruct quilters. If there's that much fabric in the retailmarket, sewers and quilters had to have something to make with it, right? So, enter new patterns designed by peoplewe've never heard from before. Andthere's two-pronged blame for this: The fabric producers and the publishingcompanies. The fabric manufacturersneeded patterns that would highlight their material and the publishingcompanies needed to sell more patterns.
There is nothing in itself wrong with this. This is what drives the retail market andconsumerism. This is what keeps fabricand pattern production profitable and allows both fields to reinvest intechnology, employees, and better-quality goods. This keeps material and patterns affordablefor the consumer. The problem is, thatat least as far as some of the pattern production goes, it seems fact-checkingthe pattern went out the window.
Let me give you an example. I hope that you have heard of the Mountain Mist Batting Company and their patterns (if not, stop right now and Google it).
From 1929 until 1970, Mountain Mist Batting Company included a free pattern printed on the wrapper of their batting. These patterns consisted of traditional pieced blocks or applique quilts. The batting company had a group of quilters that worked with them, and each pattern was made several times by different women in this group in order to ensure the patterns were correct, clearly written, and easily understood.
If you understand the timeline of 1929, you realize thatthis was the beginning of The Great Depression. Paying these women was an added expense, but it was one that MountainMist surmised was necessary in order to keep their product not only sellingwell, but also to have return customers. And it was wildly successful – far beyond anything anyone expected. Their quality product was both profitable andpopular.
Let's take a look at today's market. It's faster-paced than Mountain Mist ever wasat its zenith. There are digitaldownload patterns as well as books and paper patterns. The quilt pattern market is flooded by namesof designers we've never heard of before and some I hope to God never hear fromagain.
Many of their products are seriously lacking in clear instructions, correctness, and are difficult to understand. I've experienced this on a personal basis. Remember this quilt?
Well, I am still working on it. But the directions are horrible. One of the first things I do when I begin anew pattern is to Google it and see if there are any blogs, YouTube videos, oranything else out there written by quilters who have made this particularpattern. In this case, there was nothing. That should have been my first hint and Ishould have backed off. But I hadcommitted to the project with a couple of my quilting buddies.
Now as I have lamented before, the book for this quilt iscrap. There are few directions, lots ofline drawings, and a few helpful odd and ends, but that's it. Here's what I think happened (I can't proveit, but I think it's a plausible theory). Mary Buvia made the quilt, never thinking that it would become a book orpattern. She started the quilt as a wayto deal with her husband's cancer. Shemade the quilt, entered it in an AQS show and to her credit, she won aribbon. And with this ribbon came thequestion: What pattern did you use? Well, it was her pattern. It came fromher heart and her head…from her advanced knowledge and experience. I bet she never imagined that AQS would askher to write a pattern for it and that pattern would become a book.
They never proofed the book for more than just grammaticaland spelling errors.
They never had anyone else construct that quilt in orderto make sure the directions were clear.
Because if they had, the book would be much, much betterthan it is.
And from what I hear, this same issue is coming up in moreand more quilt patterns. I have gottento the point that if I use a pattern, it's from someone that has a track recordof producing really, really good patterns with real accuracy and really cleardirections. I firmly believe that todaythe race is to get the pattern on the market at the same time as the fabric –not to quality-test it before it's released to the quilting community.
In some ways, this factor (erroneous patterns) has led tothe second aspect of The Dumbing Down of Quilting: Lack of attention, respect, and commitment onthe part of quilters. They not onlyaccept these poorly designed quilt patterns without so much as a whimper, butthey have also sacrificed technique on the altar of speed.
Before everyone stops reading at this point, let meplainly state There Is Nothing Wrong With A Quick Quilt. As a matter of fact, every quilter shouldhave two or three quick quilt patterns in their files for baby quilts, hospitalcomfort quilts, and surprise gifts. Butthe steady diet of these has led (IMHO) to a dumbing down of the quilter.
The act of quilting is a gift. Not just to others, but to you. Quilting works both sides of the brain – the theological, mathematical side and the artistic side. It's a gift to your mental state andemotions. Difficult patterns andtechniques allow both sides of your brain to stretch and exercise. It helps alertness and there is some medicaltalk about it preventing Alzheimer's and dementia.
However, this is not the only reason to execute goodtechnique or difficult patterns. Let'sstart with technique.
I am all for cleverness, dear readers. If there's a quick, accurate way to makehalf-square triangles, pinwheels, and do set-in seams, I am in line to learnhow – as long as it doesn't sacrificeaccuracy and solid, quilting technique. I've seen too many times in recent years where quilters' work has justbeen down-right sloppy. Maybe this isthe look they were going for…maybe some of them just hadn't been taught ortaken a class…but to continue to accept this as the "quilting norm" does asmuch harm for our art as a fire would roaring through the National QuiltMuseum. It kills off what makes ourcraft unique and wonderful. It erasespart of our history.
For awhile many "traditional" quilters tried to lay this lazinessnew phenomena on the backs of Modern Quilters. And in the beginning, since a lot of these new quilters were new toeverything – the sewing machine, quilt patterns, etc., – that could have heldsome truth. But we're at least ten yearsout from the Modern Quilt beginnings and that no longer rings true. Sure, these quilts are many times simplerthan what a lot of my generation makes. However, there is nothing wrong with simple, especially when it's executed well.
Frankly, we have accepted poor designs without so much asa whimper and have also allowed ourselves to accept less than our best with ourwork. And in the process the entire artof quilting is suffering what I consider to be a Dumbing Down.
I'm fighting this battle hard. Here's what I'm doing, and I hope you willjoin me in the war.
If one of the less-than-stellar patterns fallsinto my hand, I contact the designer and let them know. If it has errors, I let them know that,too. Sometimes I get a response andsometimes I don't. But primarily, I letmy dollar do the talking. If I use yourpattern, and your pattern is crap, I don't buy from you again. And I tell my quilting friends your patternstinks.
Withevery quilt, I do try to keep the basic techniques as perfect as I can getthem. No quilt is ever completelyperfect, but if I try as hard as I can with each quilt, pretty soon my quiltswill be as close to perfect as they can get. And I may catch a handful of show ribbons along the way.
Irefuse to make the same quilt over and over again. Part of quilting is learning. And you can't learn new things if you don'ttry new patterns. Or try making your ownpatterns. If you keep doing the samething over and over, you're getting the same results. I only make the same quilt twice if it canteach me new things. Dear Jane is one ofthese quilts. So is The HaloMedallion.
Ibelong to several Quilt Bees, groups, and a couple of Quilt Guilds. These members are generally pretty seriousabout their quilting. They are generouswith their knowledge, but they do not suffer fools lightly. If your work is bad, they pull no punches. They'll tell you. And then they offer suggestions on how to fixit.
This topic has weighed heavily on my mind for a while nowand The Dumbing Down of the Quilt is the primary reason my 2018 blogs were so"teachy." I wanted quilters to have areference point – for the folks that are quilting today and the others who maytake it up five years from now. Goodtechnique is part of our culture as quilters. We lose it, we've lost part of who we are.
Until next week, Quilt with Passion!
Amen sister! I am not particularly knowledgeable about the design and production of patterns, but I am quite familiar with blogs. And the issue with them includes garment construction as well as quilting. As I teach/mentor students learning to sew garments I often look at bloggers who sew for themselves and their young children. I am appalled at the number of sewists who have been sewing for barely a year with no real instruction and feel they are qualified to teach others. They don't even notice their numerous photos clearly illustrate their lack of knowledge. I have kindly corrected a few of the bloggers when I had time and felt I could manage to be polite. But I am constantly telling my students that looking to youtube or blogs can be helpful, but try to get a good feel for the level of experience first. If the blogger has just been sewing a year to make quick fashion for their adorable babies (those photos can distract even me) she is unlikely to be a good source of credible information. I also tell them (mostly tongue in cheek) that I have been sewing for longer than their moms have been on this earthr, so take full advantage of my knowledge and experience.
Mark Lipinski gave a lecture at my guild a couple of years ago, and talked about this. He said most of the patterns are the same skill level, and most of the fabrics are in the medium range. They don't require thought at all.

Montgomery Advertiser — Progressive efforts can't be defined by language
By: William Mattox / January 5, 2015
"Progressive efforts can't be defined by language"
By William Mattox
January 5, 2015Several days before the White House announced the U.S. would be normalizing relations with Cuba, a high school sophomore from Miami's Little Havana neighborhood gave a speech that wowed a bipartisan group at a conference sponsored by the Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options (HCREO).In his speech, Valentin Mendez extolled an educational program that helped transform his life. And he introduced conferees to La Progresiva, a private school with a remarkable past … and an uncertain future.La Progresiva Presbyterian School opened in Cardenas, Cuba, in 1900. It served students until Fidel Castro shut it down in 1961. After many of the school's families fled Cuba and relocated in Miami, La Progresiva re-opened in Little Havana in 1971. Today, the school serves nearly 500 students, mostly from low-income homes where Spanish is the primary language.Valentin came to La Progresiva after a stint as a "6th grade drop-out." He had previously attended two Miami public schools, but had been bullied at both of them. "I was angry; I was frustrated; I cried almost every day," Valentin told HCREO. "I had no hope."One day, Valentin's mother learned that many low-income students at La Progresiva receive Step Up Scholarships, a program Jeb Bush helped create during his time as Florida's governor. She applied for assistance; and thanks to Step Up, Valentin began classes at La Progresiva.Valentin initially spent many school nights sleeping on a floor at the gas station where his mother worked the graveyard shift. "But it didn't matter to me because I was happy and was finally learning," he said. "Everything changed at my new school — I began to care; I began to dream; I began to see a future for me."Valentin worked his way up to grade level after starting out well behind. Thanks to Step Up and other efforts to increase schooling options, low-income Hispanic fourth-graders in Florida now routinely outperform their peers in most other states. And they read as well or better than the average student in 20 states, according to 2013 data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Moreover, high school graduation rates among Florida Hispanics have increased 28 percentage points over the last 15 years.Unfortunately, Valentin's educational journey — and that of nearly 70,000 Step Up students — may not end happily. That's because the Florida Education Association (FEA) recently filed a lawsuit that seeks to shut down Florida's tax credit scholarship program.The teacher's union claims Step Up scholarships divert resources from the public school system. But Raoul Cantero, a former Florida Supreme Court justice, says these scholarships are actually funded by tax-favored donations from Florida businesses.Even if Step Up scholarships were funded by the state, the public's interest in helping students like Valentin would surely deserve higher priority than worrying about whether every last student attends a government-run school. This is, after all, America — not Castro's Cuba. And shutting down educational programs that are helping needy students hardly seems "progressive" (in any language).William Mattox is a resident fellow at the James Madison Institute.Article: http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinion/2015/01/06/progressive-efforts-defined-language/21321803/

The words "care home" can conjure up an image of bored older people sitting around in armchairs in a drab living room.
But modern care homes are challenging those stereotypes, and are much more likely to come equipped with all sorts of facilities – from pubs to cinemas – to help make residents feel more at home and encourage positive interaction between residents, staff and visitors.
It's Care Home Open Day on Friday, so here are some surprising things you might find in a care home.
Staff at Northbourne Care Home were looking for new ways to provide a stimulating environment that was meaningful to their residents, and came up with the idea of a pub which would hold themed nights, quizzes and bingo. The Anchor opened in 2014 and has proven extremely popular with residents.
Jewish Care has 11 care homes in London and the south east and each has its very own in-house synagogue. Services are run by dedicated teams of volunteers and family members are actively encouraged to attend with their relatives.
Jamie Wilford, 13, chose to bring his barmitzvah to his grandma's care home as she was unable to travel to his local synagogue. Staff, residents and volunteers were invited to celebrate with the family afterwards. Michael Ross, a regular volunteer, leads services in the synagogue at Betty and Asher Loftus Centre in Friern Barnet.
The charity developed a weekly programme of creative activities around the chickens, including feather printing and creative writing. The project proved so popular that Equal Arts took it to other care homes. Since 2012, HenPower has been rolled out to more than 50 care settings across the country with providers including Orchard Care, Akari Care, Housing & Care 21 and Bondcare.
When Waypoints, which provides specialist dementia care in Devon and Dorset, decided to open a new care home in Upton, it worked closely with the local town council to identify community benefits for the redevelopment. Two retail outlets were included in the plans – Costa Coffee moved into one of them. While it is separate from the care home, the cafe has become the most popular place for families of residents to take their loved ones when visiting.
Waypoints Upton also includes a hairdressing salon and a traditional sweet shop, while a vegetable garden is being built in collaboration with a neighbouring school.
Three times a week at Lakeview Care Home in Lightwater, Surrey, residents pile into the home's very own cinema to watch a film. By far the most popular film is the Wizard of Oz, with Les Misérables and Mamma Mia also drawing crowds.
When not used for films, the room is used for karaoke nights, pub quizzes and weekly debates on topics such as the EU referendum. Darren Hill, customer services manager says that the cinema and activities provide a chance for positive interaction every day as well as giving residents something to talk to visitors about.
"They can be in a bit of a bubble as so much of their time is spent just in the home so it's important for them to still be able to hold conversations with their families about what's going on in the world or the latest film they have watched," he says.

COLUMN: Getting value out of your tight end pick
We've covered running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks already. Now, tight ends.
COLUMN: Getting value out of your tight end pick We've covered running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks already. Now, tight ends. Check out this story on hattiesburgamerican.com: http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/08/15/column-getting-value-tight-end-pick/14148363/
Ben Sutton, Hattiesburg American Published 9:12 p.m. CT Aug. 15, 2014 | Updated 11:05 p.m. CT Aug. 15, 2014
Ben Sutton, 2012
Each week, I've examined a fantasy football position with finding bargain picks in mind.
We've covered running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks already. Now only one of the four offensive positions remains: tight ends.
Tight ends are sort of the black sheep of the typical fantasy squad. Truly elite tight ends — the Jimmy Grahams and Rob Gronkowskis of the world — are extremely few and far between. The drop-off between the top one or two elites and the rest is pretty significant, and if you don't get one of those top few, it's easy to place less importance on your tight end.
That, however, is a mistake. Perhaps more so than at any other position, identifying sleepers and value picks at tight end can make a huge difference for your squad. Sure, most tight ends don't put up huge numbers, but if you can snag one late in your draft who consistently puts up more points than the other guys, those solid numbers will add up week to week.
So, without further ado, here are two tight ends who could give you serious pick value.
• Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins: Reed is entering his sophomore season with the Redskins, who are coming of a pretty awful 2013 season. But Reed was a relative bright spot for Washington in his rookie season, and his reportedly good relationship with the now healthy Robert Griffin III means he could easily improve on his 2013 stat line.
Reed isn't quite elite, but he stands a good chance of being a trusty fantasy starter at tight end. His average draft position compared to other tight ends within a point or two of his projected points totals — guys like Jason Witten, Jordan Cameron and Dennis Pitta — is strangely low for a guy predicted to be a top-8 fantasy player. In most drafts, he's still kicking around in the seventh round.
If Reed is around that late, you could do far worse with your seventh round pick than a solid starting tight end.
• Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles: The high-powered Philadelphia offense lost a great weapon in DeSean Jackson, but that just means more targets — including in the red zone — to the rest of the Eagles' passing attack.
Enter Zach Ertz.
His ADP has him going in the 14th (!) round on average — astoundingly late for a tight end with so much upside. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has expressed his desire to use Ertz heavily in the passing game to help make up for the loss of Jackson. If the coach wants to get him the ball, Ertz will get plenty of chances to shine.
Should we expect unbelievable, Graham-like numbers from Ertz? Nope. Should we expect more value for your pick than just about any other tight end you could pick in the 12th round or later? Almost certainly. Getting a serviceable starter that late — one that isn't a kicker or a defense — is bound to be a steal.

Krasinksi's Film Version of DFW Collection to Appear at Sundance
Log in to Send
Log in to Save
As the character Jim Halpert on the NBC sitcom The Office, actor John Krasinski has a complete and total lack of passion for his job as a paper salesman. Krasinski's latest endeavor, though, is all about passion. He will make his directorial debut at the Sundance Film Festival with a film adaptation of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men (Little, Brown 1999) by the late David Foster Wallace.
"This is the definition of a passion project," Krasinski recently told Wired.com. "Whether it was with some of my friends in my basement or onstage in a restaurant in New York, I was going to do it somehow, and I was lucky enough to get it done as a feature film."
The film follows an anthropology doctoral candidate as she interviews men in an effort to understand their behavior and to heal after her boyfriend leaves her without explanation. In addition to directing, Krasinski stars in the film, which also features Julianne Nicholson, Timothy Hutton, Will Fort, and Ben Gibbard. The 2009 Sundance Festival will run from January 15 to January 25 in Park City, Utah.
Krasinsky was at Brown University, where he graduated as a playwright, when he first came across Wallace's story collection. "The only thing I'm terrified of now is David Foster Wallace fans," Krasinsky told Wired.com. "I hope I do him justice."
This is the first film to be adapted from the works by Wallace, who committed suicide in September after suffering from depression for more than twenty years. Krasinski was editing the film when he heard about the author's death.
More of Wallace's work is expected to hit the screen soon. Producer Jason Kliot (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) and screenplay writer Keith Benin are currently developing a film version of Infinite Jest (Little, Brown, 1996).

Oklahoma City preschool forced to close its doors
Patrina Adger
Yes, the pre school was closed for two months during the pandemic, and director tells me that 15 families paid $1000 a month to make sure the teachers were paid, and these doors stayed open. But that playground over there will be empty in about a month, and parents and teachers want to know why. Not only did they not tell us, but we find out from a letter, and they're expecting the parents of these Children to find out from a letter Daytona Lenhart. And these teachers tell me they were blindsided by this leather they received last night, informing them that the first Lutheran preschool would be closing. I've already got letters from parents just dropping off this morning asking, Please don't do this like how can happily help Heather Shower says. It's especially shocking since First Lutheran Church, who opened the school almost two years ago, had a budget meeting two weeks ago when we found out that we were not only sustainable, but with the new enrollments we were planning on, you know, going above and beyond. Within a month or two, Stephen Drew stayed home with his two year old during the pandemic and was one of 15 families paying $1000 a month for the last two months. Making sure teachers were pay didn't hesitate to do it. And we would do it time and time again because of the impact those those teachers have had on our daughter, the church's treasurer, echoing this letter, saying. With small membership and a limited budget, they simply don't have the resources or manpower to sustain their issues before. And Kobe did not help. And there's no way to keep the doors open. No, not at this point. So the doors are expected to close here June 30th. Back to you guys between agile.
An Oklahoma City preschool is being forced to shut its doors, another business casualty of COVID-19.First Lutheran Preschool is closing at the end of June. Parents and teachers said the news came out of nowhere and followed what they thought was a positive meeting on the school's budget. The preschool, which is located at First Lutheran Church at 12th and Robinson near downtown, was closed for two months during the pandemic. According to the school, 15 families are still paying $1,000 a month to make sure teachers have been paid and the school would remain open. Teacher Daytona Lenhart was blindsided by the news of the impending closure. "Not only did they not tell us. But we found out from a letter and expect these children of the parents to find out from a letter," she said. Teacher Heather Schauer described a similar reaction from parents. "I've already gotten letters from parents just dropping off this morning asking, 'Please don't do this. How can we help you?'" she said. The school has been open nearly two years. At a budget meeting two weeks ago, things were looking up, the teachers said. "We found out that not only were we not only sustainable but with the new enrollments we were planning on going above and beyond," teacher Wendi Day said. Stephen Drew stayed home with his 2-year-old daughter during the pandemic. He was one of the 15 families chipping in to keep the school open. "We didn't hesitate to do it. And we do it time and time again because of the impact those teachers had on our daughter," he said. The church's treasurer said a small membership and limited budget couldn't sustain the school. "There were issues before COVID, and COVID did not help…And there's no way to keep the doors open. Not at this point," Betty Ray said.

Getting children and young people interested in cooking is really, really important.
So I'm launching Kids Cook, Grown-ups Wash Up Day!
instead of getting the kids to wash up after you've cooked – switch it round for a change.
So I started thinking perhaps this contributes to some kids seeing cooking as a chore rather than a creative pleasure. The grown-ups get all the fun of making a mess and the satisfaction of putting good food on the table, then it's the offsprings' job to clear up.
So please join my mission to get more children inspired by cooking and send me your pictures of your KCGWU day!
