Marquette's Elliott hopes his bad luck with injuries has changed
The run of bad luck with injuries had taken its toll on Marquette's Greg Elliott.
How could it not? Every time it looked like the guard was on the road to recovery, a freak accident would bump him off course.
In his first game in a MU uniform as a freshman in the 2017-18 season – an exhibition against Lindenwood – the 6-foot-3 Elliott partially tore tendons in his left thumb falling to the court. He played the entire season in a cast but still became an important rotation player, averaging 18.3 minutes per game.
MU head coach Steve Wojciechowski was effusive in his praise of Elliott at the start of practice last season. But the guard hurt the same thumb in October. He needed surgery and eventually decided to redshirt.
Elliott was dealt another cruel blow in June when he injured his right ankle on an awkward fall.
Another surgery. More tedious rehab.
"Mentally it was tough," Elliott said. "But with my family and my teammates, they all helped me keep it together.
"Because I was going through a really tough time, especially after coming back from the thumb injury and then getting hurt again with the ankle. It was real tough, but without my teammates and my family I probably wouldn't be here."
Elliott was talking on Saturday after going through an extended practice for the first time since the ankle surgery. He showed why he could be an important player for MU this season. During a span of a few minutes in the five-on-five scrimmage, the long-armed Elliott made a steal for layup, hit a three-pointer and sank a tough shot off the glass after knifing his way to the basket.
"He's a really smart basketball player," Wojciechowski said. "He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He makes really good decisions.
"He makes the people around him better. I mean this as a compliment, he keeps the game simple."
Elliott provides the ball-hawking defense and playmaking ability on offense that MU sorely missed from him last season.
"Greg's one of those guys, he can do a little of everything," Wojciechowski said. "I think he's going to complement the guys he plays with really well."
Elliott was visibly winded during Saturday's practice. His ankle still doesn't allow him to run smoothly.
"Being able to get up and down, five-on-five, against other guys that are at my skill level or on my team, I'd say my biggest thing would be getting back into game shape," Elliott said. "That's going to take me some time."
But Elliott was overjoyed to be back on the court. While sitting out last season, Elliott was an engaged observer during practices and games. Wojciechowski called him a future coach.
"I think I am a visual learner anyway," Elliott said. "So I can see what's going on, how Coach talked through it. Once I see it, I know what I need to do and when the action happens I know what needs to be done. So watching has helped me a lot."
Nothing beats playing, though. It clearly meant something for Elliott to share the court again with the people who helped him through those days of rehab and self-doubt.
"Even when I was hurt, my teammates were always around me," Elliott said. "Whenever they did something, they tried include me, even though I was on crutches or whatnot. They just made me feel like I was still part of the team, even though I was incapable to perform on the basketball floor.
"And that was real big. It just showed me it's way more than basketball with this team. We love each other as people. We're great people at that. We just all came together and they helped me out in that time of need."

Bill Shorten farewells mother, Ann, at private funeral in Melbourne
By Jessica Wright
April 15, 2014 — 4.04pm
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has farewelled his mother, Ann Rosemary, at a moving private ceremony in Melbourne's east.
Held in the stunning sandstone structure that is the Xavier College Chapel, in Kew, Mr Shorten and his twin, Robert, delivered a joint emotional eulogy on Tuesday honouring their mother's life-long commitment to the pursuit of education.

Among Mr Shorten's federal Labor colleagues who attended were Anthony Albanese, Tony Burke, former Speaker Anna Burke, Kelvin Thomson, David Feeney, Mark Dreyfus and Warren Snowdon.
Mr Shorten's mother-in-law, former governor-general Dame Quentin Bryce, did not attend the service.

A devastated Mr Shorten - shouldering the load as a pallbearer, along with his twin and other male relatives - was comforted by his wife Chloe, their daughter Clementine, and Ms Shorten's two children Georgette and Rupert.
Leading names among Victoria's political, academic, corporate and social circles gathered after the service on the chapel steps, its views of Melbourne soaring beyond the expansive grounds.
Ann Shorten, 79, died on Sunday, April 6, her loss described as "a shock to me and my family" by the Opposition Leader.
Xavier resonates with the Shorten family. Credited as the driving force behind her family's academic and political success, Ann Shorten was determined her sons would receive an education under the guidance of the Jesuits. She was not religious, but as a cultural Catholic and an educator she respected Jesuit education. She sent her boys to Xavier and went back to work as a teacher to help pay the fees.

The predominantly Catholic service was also ministered by an Anglican reverend, a reflection of the family's mixed faiths.
Ann Shorten - nee McGrath - was, by all accounts, an extraordinary woman.
The daughter of a Ballarat-born printer - and union leader - she tested the conventions of the day by putting her education and then career ahead of marriage and motherhood until she was in her 30s - a move almost unheard of for working-class young women at the time.
She was awarded a teaching scholarship after matriculation, received an arts and an education diploma in the 1950s,and then a doctorate from Melbourne University.
It was the first of many academic milestones.
Most notably, much later in her life, she won the Supreme Court prize in 1985. Her twin boys - Bill and Robert (both named for their late father, William Robert) were by then in their first year at the same university as their mother, Monash. ''I was a very embarrassing mother,'' she told Fairfax Media in a 2009 profile on her son, Bill.
Ann met her husband William Robert Shorten on a cruise to Japan in late 1965.
Bill snr, from Tyneside, was the ship's second engineer. After the church wedding in East Malvern, where her parents lived, the Shortens held the festivities on the ship.
Mr Shorten said in a statement his mother's death had come as a great shock to him and his family.
''I was very close to my mum," Mr Shorten said.
"My family and I have received many kind messages of support from friends, colleagues and members of the community for which we are very grateful."
Mr Shorten has been on leave since receiving news of his mother's unexpected death but is expected to return to official duties this week.

When the division was finally relieved in Normandy in early July they had already experienced over 5,000 casualties, wounded and missing.
More than 50 paratroopers from across the 82nd Abn. Div. were selected to participate in the 74th Normandy D-Day commemoration and ceremonies May 30-June 7, 2018 in Normandy, France.
First time attendee for the D-Day events, Sgt. 1st Class Kevon Campbell, an instructor and evaluator with the 82nd Airborne Division and U.S. Army Advanced Airborne School, said he feels honored to be selected to represent his unit for such an important mission. "When it comes to the commemoration its equally as important as anything else because the moment that its forgotten, their sacrifices will be in vain," said Campbell. "They are part of our history and linage; their deeds and heroic sacrifices shouldn't be left to fade away." "It's good to come out, represent our unit, represent the paratroopers so that the families can see it," he added.

for women's voices by Guthrie Foote.
This cantata for Women's Voices brought together two vital elements in Vaughan Williams' musical character: his strong support for amateur music making and his life-long love for English folksongs and folk-carols. The work was commissioned by the National Federation of Women's Institutes for their first Singing Festival in 1950. It was the first time the National Federation had commissioned a work for a special occasion and Vaughan Williams was their preferred choice of composer.
The performance of the cantata is excellent, but then one would expect nothing less from the veteran David Willcocks, 90 in December, but on this evidence still an energetic figure on the rostrum.
A world premiere recording of works by Vaughan Williams is surely at this date something of a world event.
Of the five Albion discs issued to date the most ambitious and exciting is this latest. The CD redresses a longstanding lacuna in the RVW recorded music catalogue. This recording is by a venerable doyen among the British choral traditions: Sir David Willcocks. Be assured, the roster for the 'Ensemble' takes it to full orchestra strength. This is not some cut–down chamber grouping and the listening experience bears this out very convincingly. RVW writes with light in his pen and light shines through these cleverly laid out and lovingly performed movements.


It seems that interest paid on CDs has gone up some microscopic amount, so we can now all be generously rewarded by the banks for lending the banks some of our surplus cash. If you put ten grand in a bank for a few years, you may now earn about 0.75 percent on that. If you have $100,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you can get an even better rate.
Back on planet Earth, few people have even $10,000 lying around, and if they are extremely prudent middle-class or lower-income people who managed to scrape together that kind of savings, they can expect it to lose value continually because there is no relatively safe place that pays interest even close to the official rate of inflation for mere ordinary people. If you have access to a hedge fund, it may be another matter, but just as the central banks have planned, with their negative interest rates in Europe and near-negative rates here, ordinary savers are punished for the good of huge politically-connected investors who don't need to rely on savings accounts or CDs.
But if you're in the business of selling CDs, things are looking a little better, I suppose. Check out these sky-high rates for CDs.

Global shares mixed…50-50 merge for Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot…Shipping industry proposes fund to tackle carbon emissions
TOKYO (AP) – Global shares were mixed today after Wall Street logged fresh record highs but investor optimism faded about an interim U.S.-China trade deal announced last week. In early trading, France's CAC 40 was slightly higher, while Germany's DAX slipped 0.2%. Britain's FTSE 100 edged up 0.1%. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei finished 0.6% lower. South Korea's Kospi inched down slightly. Hong Kong's Hang Seng recouped earlier losses and edged up 0.2%, while the Shanghai Composite fell 0.1%. Wall street is expected to open higher, with Dow and S&P futures inching up slightly.
MILAN (AP) – Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot have signed a deal for a 50-50 merger, creating the 4th largest automaker with annual sales of 8.7 million cars. In a joint statement today, the companies announced the binding terms for the merger, that they say would position the new company to "successfully capitalize on the opportunities presented in the new era of sustainable mobility." No name for the new company has yet been decided.
BERLIN (AP) – A global shipping industry organization is proposing a research and development program to help cut carbon dioxide emissions. It would be funded by about $5 billion from shipping companies over a decade. The International Chamber of Shipping says it's proposing creating a non-governmental organization known as the International Maritime Research and Development Board. It would be overseen by member countries of the U.N. maritime agency and financed by shipping companies through a mandatory levy of $2 per metric ton of marine fuel. Environmental activists say that while shipping contributes only about 2% of global greenhouse gases, the industry's efforts are essential to combating climate change.
RENO, Nev. (AP) – Nevada says the U.S. Energy Department is engaged in a "secret plutonium smuggling operation" that threatens Nevada's health, safety and environment. It's again asking a federal judge to order the removal of weapons-grade material that the government shipped to a security site near Las Vegas over the state's objections. The state's latest filing this week in Reno is part of a yearlong legal battle. It urges a judge to reject the government's motion to dismiss Nevada's lawsuit challenging the shipments. The Energy Department says the issue is moot because it's already promised no more plutonium will come to Nevada.
LONDON(AP) – Inflation in Britain held steady at 1.5% in the year to November, way below the Bank of England's target of 2%. The Office for National Statistics says the largest downward push on the consumer price index came from accommodation services and tobacco. The largest upward push came from price increases in food, and recreation and culture. Though inflation remains below target, Bank of England policymakers are not expected to cut the bank's main interest rate on Thursday from 0.75%. That is partly because Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservatives won a majority in last week's election, reducing some uncertainty over Brexit in the near-term.

The Order of the Astrum Australis
(Badge image created by Lord Kieran Blake)
Second Constitution for the Order of the Astrum Australis:
I. There shall exist in the Barony of the Citadel of the Southern Pass an award, known as the Order of the Astrum Australis, which may be given by the Baron and / or Baroness, subject to the pleasure of the Crown, to those persons who have given outstanding service to the Barony, above and beyond that service normally expected of subjects of the Crown.
II. The holders of the award shall be styled as Companions of the Astrum Australis and shall be entitled to place the initials C.A.A. after their names.
III. The insignia of the order shall consist of a medallion bearing the registered badge of the Order: Azure, two piles inverted Or, in chief a compass-star elongated to base argent.
IV. Arms and Precedence
A. The award shall carry with it, subject to the pleasure of the Crown, an Award of Arms. Companions of the order shall take precedence after principality orders but before a simple Award of Arms.
B. If the award is given to a person who bears an award carrying higher precedence than given above, his/her precedence shall remain unchanged.
C. If the award is given to a person who has previously received an Award of Arms, his/her precedence shall date from his/her election to the Order.
V. Amendments to this constitution shall be made by the Coronet after due consultation with the Crown.
VI. The companionship of all previous recipients of the Order is hereby confirmed.
First Constitution:
By our hands this 21st day of August, A.S. XIX, being 1984 in the Common Era.
Jochen, Baron Monika, Baroness
Freanna, King Richenda, Queen
Keridwen of Montrose, Aten Principle Herald)
By our hands this 24th day of May, A.S. XXXIII, being 1998 in the Common Era
Berold, Baron Eirianedd, Baroness
Hrothgar II, King Madigan, Queen
Pendar the Bard, White Stag Principal Herald
History of the Order:
The Astrum Australis is the Latin translation for "Star of the South". Our Barony is famous for the great star which is lit during the holidays upon the eastern face of the mountain which bisects the Barony. Although the star upon the mountain is that of a five pointed mullet, the star on the badge of the Order is that of a compass star which directs the way of the traveler to the great lands of the Kingdom of the Outlands from the wilds of Argonia from the South, the vastness of the Kingdom of Ansteorra from the East or the birthplace of our lands from the Kingdom of Atenveldt from the West.
The inverted piles upon all the badge of the Order signify the Pass which the Barony of the Citadel eternally guards. Our mundane city was first named by the Spaniards as El Paso del Norte or the Northern Pass since they had begun their conquest of the region from the south in Central America. The Citadel of the Southern Pass was named for the southern most Pass in the Rocky Mountain chain in the Kingdom of Atenveldt which we were a part of at the time.
When a person or persons takes the Baronial Thrones, they become the head of the Baronial Orders whether they create those Orders themselves or the Orders are already established. They may not be an actual member of the Order, but they are the head of said Order. At times, as is the case below, the incoming Baronial Coronet, in this case Rutor and Morgana, felt it was necessary to elevate their predecessors into an Order which their predecessors had created.
At the Baronial Investiture of Rutor and Morgana, one of the first items of business in their first court of their second day as Coronets of the Citadel was to admit Baron Jochen and Baroness Monika into the Order of the Astrum Australis. Jochen and Monika were past principals of the Order having established it during their reign as Baronial Coronets.
When the Order was originally confirmed, the Barony was less than a year old. The original constitution has in its' wording the insignia of the Order being ' subject to the approval of the SCA College of Arms'. The badge for the Order was approved on 10 March 1985, almost seven months after the original constitution was signed. The Barony was at this time still a part of the Principality of the Outlands, Kingdom of Atenveldt hence the herald's signature is that of the Aten Principle Herald, not the White Stag Principle Herald. Also of note, the medallion of the Order in the original constitution when presented is to be suspended from a ribbon (which was usually blue in color the first few years).
It was the only one of the original three constitutions of the Baronial Orders (Astrum Australis, Flos Australis and Order of Thermopylae) to carry with it an Award of Arms.
The second constitution written for the Order was done during the Baronial Reign of Berold and Eirianedd (she whom we all know now as Bahiyyah). During this time all of the Constitutions of the Baronial Orders to date were re-written to bring them up to date as far as heraldry and precedential position were concerned. The second constitution includes the approved badge of the Order and medallions given after this time need not be suspended by a ribbon.
The Premier of the Order is Master Walthari von Harx and his induction happened at Citadel 12th Night, January 12th, 1985. His induction happened two months before the badge of the Order was passed. The next three inductees were Lady Catalina de Almeria y Tiermas, Lord Garth Merioneth du Bogue and Lady Julienne la Flame on the 16th of March 1985, six days after the badge was passed.
Three members of the Order were not citizens of the Barony when they received admittance to the Order. The first was Lady Suzanna of the House of Jewels (resident of the Freehold of the Great River) during Jochen and Monika's reign, the second was Lady Rose Owyne (resident of Kahlland) and the third Sheik Asad ud-Din (resident of Nahrun Kabirun), both during the reign of Berold and Bahiyyah.
Special permission was granted to the Citadel Coronets by the Crown to admit these individuals into the Order since it is a rarity that Citadel Awards go to those not living in our Barony.

Trojans visit Whitehall on Friday
Thursday, September 28, 2017 by CJ HEMERLY Special to the Press in Sports
The Parkland football team is off to its best start in years with wins in its first games to start the regular season.
A difficult five-game stretch was placed in the middle of the schedule. So far the Trojans (5-0 overall, 4-0 Eastern Pennsylvania Conference South) are three-for-three, with victories over Liberty, Easton and Freedom the last three weeks.
Next up is another challenge, a trip to Whitehall (4-1 overall, 3-1 EPC South) on Friday night.
"Being undefeated is great, but the enjoyment in it is short-lived with the Whitehall game coming up this weekend," said head coach Tim Moncman. "This game has a different feel to it. Both teams and schools certainly want to beat the other more so than any other team. It's fun to be a part of."
Parkland committed three tunrovers on its first three possessions last week and was fortunate its defense was able to stop Freedom until the offense got rolling.
"Up until last week we were able to create turnovers and not give any up," said Moncman. "Last week we turned the ball over and we were fortunate to get a win. We need to continue to control the ball and not turn it over. Defensively we have to eliminate the big play."
Whitehall is coming in with a chip on its shoulder. Not only were the Zephyrs beaten soundly at the hands of Easton last weekend, 56-28, but they are looking for revenge against Parkland after losing to the Trojans the last two seasons.
Whitehall's offense has been dynamic. The Zephyrs entered last week averaging over 47 points per game.
Quarterback Ethan Parvel has completed 56 passes for 898 yards and 11 touchdowns. His favorite target has been Dez Boykin, who leads the team with 29 catches for 373 yards and four touchdowns.
"Offensively they are fast-paced," Moncman said. "They have a huge offensive line and great skill players. Their quarterback is a great dual-threat player. Defensively, they are big up front and the defense is very aggressive and tackle well."
The Trojan defense has allowed just 27 points all year. Parkland's offense has become more balanced since the opening three weeks.
Senior running back Jahan Worth, who was the stalwart of the offense during the first three games of the season, has rushed for 437 yards and seven touchdowns.
Senior quarterback Michael Ruisch has completed 50 passes for 795 yards this season.
The Joe Gerencser Trophy is always on the line in the annual regular season meeting between these two teams.


In the days of Admiral Lord Nelson, when a man volunteered or was pressed into service in the Royal Navy he would be issued with a wooden bowl, a wooden mug or tankard, and a wooden spoon with which to eat his food. He was also issued with a square wooden plate, from which we have inherited the saying that is still sometimes used to this day, 'three square meals a day'.
The items mentioned in this article are represented in the picture, with a model of Lord Nelson's Flagship, Victory, in the background. The wood-turning of the bowl, spoon and tankard are by Adrian Steel, RN retired of Auckland. The wine decanters were purchased from the Nelson Collection at the Royal Dockyard Portsmouth.
There is a misconception that sailors of that time were poorly fed. However, by the standards of the day they were very well fed, mostly on salt pork and salt beef. Once the pork or beef was removed from the barrels it had been preserved in, the leftover salt sludge was used to rub into the ship's rigging to preserve it from the effects of rain and sun. It was said that — although whistling was forbidden in the navy, in case, in those superstitious times, it should 'whistle up a wind' that could overwhelm the ship — they were actually ordered to whistle while applying the salt sludge to the ropework just to prove they weren't eating it. On merchant vessels of that time the sludge was retained by the crew and, when next in port, sold and the money saved in a 'slush fund' to buy extra rations.
To supplement for the lack of vitamin C, when there were no fresh vegetables, sailors were issued lemon juice to ward off scurvy. American sailors who observed this practice mistook the lemons for limes, hence their name for British sailors, which they still use to this day, which is, of course, 'Limeys'.
Conditions for the ordinary sailors aboard warships of that time, such as Admiral Lord Nelson's Flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, the Victory, were extremely cramped and unhygienic. There were no toilets, only buckets, which had to be emptied into the sea through purpose-built apertures right in the bows, or head of the ship. This is where the modern navy gets its term for toilets, which of course is 'heads'.
The only lighting available in the rather dark interior of the ship were tallow candle lanterns known as 'glims', which when lit gave off a horrible smell.
What is not often remembered these days is that back then many women and children served aboard fighting ships. Their job in battle was to supply the cannon with powder from the magazines, which acquired them the name of 'powder monkeys'. A few of the women and some children who had strong stomachs and brave hearts became surgeon's assistants, known as 'loblolly boys' (even if they were women). They assisted the surgeon to amputate shattered limbs, bind up wounds and put the dead over the side. Interestingly, although these women were vital whilst the ship was engaged in battle, the navy ignored them to the point of denying their existence. Sometime after the Battle of Trafalgar, the British Admiralty struck a commemorative medal for those involved. Hundreds of women who had been on the various ships and had fought bravely alongside the men also applied. Every last one of them was refused.
There were no facilities on board to cleanse wounds or wash bodies because of the lack of fresh water, but there was rum for men to drink to deaden the pain. Also, during an amputation, in an attempt to mitigate the pain, the patient would be given a lead musket ball to bite on, thereby 'biting the bullet'.
Because fresh water did not last long at sea, the navy relied almost entirely on large quantities of alcoholic drinks, which did keep well. Alcoholic drink did keep the crew alive and healthy, but also quite possibly, because of the constant fear of mutiny, it also kept them somewhat subdued. Men were allowed half a pint of rum a day, issued half at noon and half in the evening. The main substitute for water was an issue of eight pints of beer a day, in normal circumstances, but often before battle they were given an extra issue of rum, for 'Dutch courage'.
The officers had to provide their own eating and drinking utensils, which in the case of officers from wealthy or aristocratic families, or officers made rich by prize money, would be the very best. China plates and silver, pewter or china tankards, cut-glass wine glasses, silver or gold cutlery and serving dishes. The officers also faced the problem of the water running out or going bad, but they tended to drink wines and spirits, especially brandy, or if they had recently captured a French ship then it would be the very best brandy, cognac.
A very good account of sailors' reliance on alcoholic drink while at sea comes to us from Lord Nelson's time. However, in the following, particularly well-documented case, it comes, not from the Royal Navy, but from the fledgling American Navy during their struggle to form a Union of States, independent from Britain.
In July 1798 the USS Constitution sailed from Boston with a full compliment of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of fresh water, 79,000 gallons of rum and enough other provisions to last six months. Her mission was to harass and destroy English shipping.
She arrived off Jamaica in October, where she took on board 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. A month later she was in the Azores, where she stored with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine, before setting sail for England. For the final months of 1798 she fought and sank five British warships and also captured and then sank twelve British Merchant ships, salvaging only their rum, wine and beer.
By early January 1799, with her gunpowder and shot exhausted, leaving her virtually unarmed, she made one final night raid on the Firth of Clyde in Scotland, where her landing party captured, without the need to fire a single shot, a whisky distillery. Before morning, they'd transferred on board the ship 20,000 gallons of single malt whisky.
The USS Constitution arrived back in Boston in late February 1799 with no cannon shot, no gunpowder, no food, no wine, no rum and, more importantly, no malt whisky, which they must have consumed at almost a gallon per man per day. But they did still have 38,600 gallons of stagnant water. That's my sort of ship and my sort of navy.

From physical facilities to engaging meeting places
CASE Danish Foundation for Culture & Sports Facilities
To develop a new strategy for The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities (LOA), that shifted its focus from being a fund to a developer of engaging meeting places.
The result of the collaboration is a strategy that not only communicates effectively, but also maintains a strong focus on changing behaviour and work culture – strategy and cultural change working hand in hand.
It was during a coaching session with Jens that Esben Danielsen, CEO at The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities (LOA), first recognised the need for a new strategy. Jens was tasked with designing and facilitating the strategy process, which had to involve both the employees as well as a number of external stakeholders.
The assignment also required carrying out a number of analyses, before formulating and communicating the final strategy.
The primary challenge was to shift LOA's focus from being a fund that applicants could seek funds from, to being a developing and co-creation knowledge center. The secondary challenge was to develop more engaging meeting places. Finally, LOA wanted applicants to link their applications to socially relevant issues that also support one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Esben Danielsen, CEO of The Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities.
"I work with Jens on two levels – both in terms of coaching in relation to my job as CEO and specifically on strategy development and related communications. These are two rather different things, but they really match well in our cooperation. It is a pleasure to work with Jens, who keeps the work concrete, factual and down-to-earth. We do not change the whole world in one day, but we still make strong, long-sighted and tough decisions that have a great impact on my managerial work. Jens is open about his own doubts, mistakes and difficult realizations, which I find directly helpful. We do not seek quick fixes, nor examine issues from a distance above, but instead we dive into dilemmas and paradoxes and the compromises that are required to solve them. And you cannot hide when working with Jens. There are no detours or shortcuts – we always focus on the root cause. Jens is a disciplined collector and keeps the documentation of the process close at hand, which means that I can return to it along the way, show it to my employees, or easily deliver and update and overview to the board."

Through the mediation of Selasi Awusi Sosu, participating artist at Ghana's first national pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2019, the world-famous artist El Anatsui has accepted the patronage of our project Exploring Visual Cultures (EVC).
El Anatsui is a Ghanaian sculptor who has spent much of his achievement packed career living and working in Nigeria. He currently runs a very robust studio in Nsukka, Enugu, Nigeria, where he creates some of the world's most beautiful and touching works of art. You can find a discussion of his work "Rising Sea" here.
El Anatsui is among the most highly acclaimed artists in African history and one of the foremost contemporary artists in the world.
He uses resources that are typically discarded, such as liquor bottle caps and cassava graters, to create sculptures that defy categorization. His use of these materials reflects his interest in reuse, transformation, and an intrinsic desire to connect to his continent while transcending the limitations of place. His work can interrogate the history of colonialism and draw connections between consumption, waste, and the environment; however, it is his unique aesthetic language, expressed through unconventional materials, that distinguishes his practice.
Anatsui is well-known for large scale sculptures composed of thousands of folded and crumpled pieces of aluminium bottle caps sourced from local alcohol recycling stations and bound together with copper wire. These intricate works, which can grow to be massive in scale, are luminous and weighty, meticulously fabricated yet malleable. He leaves the installations open and encourages the works to take new forms every time they are installed. (Source: https://elanatsui.art/biography)

Making – and keeping – your employees working happily at your organisation may not seem to have a direct impact on your company's bottom line at first glance, but the truth is it is one of the biggest factors. Before we analyse the correlation of employee morale and the company's income, let's look at the two separately.
Employee morale refers to how satisfied an employee is with the job, and whether one feels that one is in a good state at work, which will directly impact one's productivity.
With regard to the company's bottom line, the two main ways of boosting it is by generating more income and increasing efficiency (or cutting costs).
With these two points, we can already see how they are related; an employee with high morale is more willing to do the job well, leading to higher overall productivity and as a result, higher income for the company.
Instead of assigning roles and specifying tasks and procedures to employees, get them involved in the process. From setting their own goals to suggesting ways to improve the systems and processes. Being part of the decision-making will allow them to feel more responsible to do a job well, and they can take pride in their work.
This C word is likely to appear in almost every article ever written about any social setting; in this case the workplace. It is rightly so, too. Communication has a big influence on employee morale. With positive, two-way communication between all levels, the morale will likely be good. It is equally important to have good internal and external communication – amongst employees and with clients and vendors. Good internal communication, ensures higher productivity and improved employee retention. While good external communication establishes trust and repeat business. Both will no doubt contribute to a healthy work environment.
Job satisfaction and employee morale may sound similar to you. There is no one universal definition to job satisfaction as every individual views it differently and it is dependant on a variety of factors. Some popular perceptions include doing something one enjoys and getting paid for it. And to others, it depends on the nature of work, or even a specific aspect like the supervision or feedback they receive. From above, you would already know that employee morale is more on a collective level – how motivated and enthusiastic are you in the whole work environment. One common theme running through the two is how getting constant feedback on your performance provides you the affirmation. This not only increases your level of satisfaction with the job, but also your confidence and self-esteem.
Besides honing the skills, having the right tools also plays a significant part in guaranteeing a high level of morale, as it helps employees to be better at their job. Equipping them with the right platforms and resources for different aspects of the business, be it marketing (e.g. Hubspot), designing (e.g. Canva), or just your internal management system (e.g. Trello) provides the support that your employees need to stay motivated.
Nothing frustrates and lowers the morale of employees more than micromanagement. Employers should let them decide how best to do their job. Grant them the autonomy to take charge of their work and learn to be self-sufficient, while still lending support and guidance as and when needed.
It can be as simple as a sincere compliment on a job well done, or as substantial as a bonus or a promotion. Depending on the size of your company, you can consider organising mini staff appreciation sessions on a regular basis to reward your employees.


It's enlightening to realize the depth of story that is told by a human being's face. A face displays joy, hope, fear, disappointment, despondency, sincerity, love – all emotions that pour from a life experiencing Story, and all of these faces – all of these stories are swirling about, interacting, experiencing their individual roles in the universe.
"Faces In The Sea" is something that happens when one of these faces I encounter in my daily life speaks to me.
As you take time to see them, read their stories, know their hearts – I hope you become connected in some small way to people you'd otherwise never know. I hope you find yourself more closely in touch with the eternal story that inspires us all.
I can't wait to read about more "Faces in The Sea"!!
These are beautiful stories. They remind me that to God, we are never a sea of blurry faces, but rather, we are each a unique and distinct story of His making. I look forward to reading more.
This is the most beautiful idea I've encountered in quite some time. Its one that inspires and give goosebumps, because it shows our potential and love, but more importantly open our eyes so that we grow stronger. If they can, its possible for me, too. You took a step too few dare to take, and for that I can't give you anything else than my speechless admiration. Your face will never be forgotten.
I'm touched that you find it so inspiring. Thanks for reading and for your support!
All I can really say is that, you're art makes me happy I never learned to swim.
Thanks, dear. Very few of us ever learn to swim. We just sort of figure it out, once we've thrashed in the water long enough.
