St George winger Brett Morris is hoping to join twin brother Josh at the Canterbury Bulldogs after reportedly requesting a release from his contract with the Dragons.
Encouraged by Dragons management to test his value in the open market, the Bulldogs reportedly offered Morris a four-year deal worth $600,000 a season.
Morris’ current deal with the Dragons is believed to be worth $450,000 a season, with the Bulldogs desperate to replace star half-back Ben Barba who joined the Brisbane Broncos.
Even if the Dragons force Morris to honour the final year of his deal, he could still sign with the Bulldogs for the 2016 season as early as November 1.
His brother Josh, who left the Dragons in 2009, said he would love to have his brother join him at the club.
There’s plenty of speculation going about,” Josh Morris said.
“I’d love to have him at the club. It’ll be nice.
“That’s not up to me. That’s up to him and his management to talk it out.
“Whatever decisions he makes for his future, I’m always going to support.”


2016 Hyundai i20
Hyundai i20 was launched in 2008, and first-generation model is still under production. Soon after launch, this car became very popular and nowadays it is one of the best-selling models in the class of supermini cars. This car, which sits between i10 and i30, was updated in 2012, but company already prepares a presentation of the second-generation model. Just like it was case with original model, new one will be presented in Paris Motor Show, which starts this Sunday. However, this new model definitely won’t enter the serial production before 2015 and it is expected that it will come as 2016 Hyundai i20.
2016 Hyundai i20 redesign
Although new i20 for the Indian market was already presented, European and U.S. market model will have many differences. The 2016 Hyundai i20 was completely designed and developed in Europe, in Hyundai Motor’s Design Centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany and it is expected that it will produced in Turkey. It will get new platform and new look, which will surely follow the new Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design language, which is present on all new models from this South Korean manufacturer. The 2016 i20 will also get completely new interior, which will beside new look also get plenty of new advanced-technology features. Some of new features will be front and rear parking sensors, heated steering wheel, static bending headlamps and automatic defog system. There are also advanced systems like lane departure warning system, which can usually be found in much expensive cars.
2016 Hyundai i20 engines
Details about 2016 Hyundai i20 are still kept as secret. For now, there are no information will current units will stay or some new will be introduced. There are plenty of engines offered for current model but some of them are available only for specific markets. There are four petrol and three diesel engines, but it is expected that some of them will be replaced with some new units. When it is about transmission, things are also unknown. Current model is available with 5-speed and 6-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission. Only thing that is for sure is that this automatic transmission is definitely out of date, so it is expected 2016 i20 to get new automatic gearbox.
2016 Hyundai i20 release date
Presentation of 2016 Hyundai i20 is reserved for Paris Motor Show and while you’re reading this text, it might already begun. On the other side, serial production is planned for next year.

I was so excited to be able to take part in this workshop. I had done something very similar quite a few years ago at my kids’ school. Not only did the kids like it, so did the parents. Thanks for refreshing my memories, it made me smile and brought me joy. There is a similar pattern I made for a four leaf clover. Using a Kelly green fabric with a white contrast is refreshing, I look forward to taking part in another Webinar. This time I’ll remember the time difference between the time zones, avoiding an hour wait to get in. JoJo 🙂

I am unable to download the materials list, instructions, and recipes as the link suggests. It takes me back to the sign-up membership page, even though I am already a premium member. There seems to be no work-around. Would love to get that information!
Click on the picture rather than the text link. It still tells you to ‘sign up,’ I entered my email address and then it downloaded. They are trying to get new subscribers. It won’t create a new email if you’re already a member.
I can’t get this information either and I’m a member.
What was the correction you made in the instruction sheet, at the beginning of the show? Just downloaded and now I forget what you’d said. Loving your tips about gluing over pinning.

Tali Kushnir is one of Tel Aviv’s first and most prominent vintage collectors who used to be the owner of the iconic vintage clothing store “Hamachteret”. In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian podcast, Kushnir talks about her one of a kind Israeli clothing collection, dating back to the early 20th century. She explains how clothing can tell the story of a nation and reflect on the values and trends of each period in its development.
After closing her store in 2011 Tali started working alongside one of Israeli’s top fashion designers – Durin Frankfurt. Last year she designed and launched her first independent clothing line: Blue Collar, inspired by vintage Israeli styles.
“I’m a young person that is interested in an older look. I’m not interested in looking young and I don’t get stressed out from every white hair or wrinkle, on the contrary. Older people appreciate my clothing. They come from a time when it was really important to get dressed when you leave the house, look proper and present yourself in a certain way.”

Vardit Gross was declared by Time Out Tel Aviv as one of the 100 most influential people in Israeli culture. She is a curator, a producer and an art critic, who spent six years as the main art correspondent for Yediot Ahronot. In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian Podcast, Vardit touches on an array of topics regarding Tel Aviv’s bustling art scene.
Gross is currently the director of Artport, an art center and residency program based in south Tel Aviv. “Tel Aviv’s south where art is happening now,” she explains. “Cultures are meeting in south Tel Aviv. On the street you can find a hipster artists, a refugee and a Palestinian, it gives you the feeling of normality; like Israel can be a place where everyone just lives together and works together.”
Vardit has spent much of her life writing about art and curating it. When asked about the feeling of art being a “high class bubble” she answered:
“People feel detached from the art world because they feel like there is some secret they don’t understand. But once you let go of that, and once you just look and feel, you may discover that it’s not as sophisticated as you think.”

Adam Yekutieli is a world renowned visual artists, also known as Know Hope. His works can be found all around the world, dealing with the delicate balance between social, political and emotional issues. In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian Podcast, hope reflects on empathy, borders, street art, working in public spaces and the accessibility and uniqueness of Tel Aviv.
Hope’s works have studied aspects such as patriotism, nationalism and the refugee crisis, examining political policy as an emotional mechanism.
“If you can understand jealousy, heartbreak and disillusionment, you can understand that they are all tied in with our political situation. If we broaden the political discussion and allow people to participate in it from an intuitive place, we can bypass a lot of problems.”

Raised in Nazareth Illit, Lahav graduated the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and worked in New York during the 90’s. “Tel Aviv is very eclectic and is open 24 hours a day, even more than New York,” he explains. “A mixture of everything has become a very Telavivi feature.”
In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian podcast, Lahav elaborates on simplicity, aesthetics, and the lack of patience and respect that many young designers have for the past. He also touches on Israel’s political situation, explaining what it’s like to design, create and live in this atmosphere.

In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian Podcast, Riskin talks about the conflicts and contradictions that exist within the different roles she has played. She addresses the large gap between Tel Aviv and the rest of Israel and elaborates on the complexity of playing an ultra orthodox role in a “non-sexy” TV drama.
Riskin also tells us about the unique experience of being Natalie Portman’s dialect coach, teaching her how to do an Israeli accent for the Amos Oz film A Tale of Love and Darkness.
“Escapist Tel Aviv has an identity problem. We all carry stories, but the Israeli way of dealing with them is hiding them. In my work I don’t run away from stories – I run towards them.”

Itamar Weizman is an entrepreneur the сo-founder of Cool Cousin, a travel app that connects users with locals who provide them with personal city maps, tips and secrets. He was also one of the founders of the V15 movement to replace the Netanyahu government in Israel’s 2015 elections.
In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian podcasts, Weizman talks about the rough process of “loosing the elections” and leaving political activism for Tel Aviv’s start-up sector. He elaborates on Tel Aviv as a “bubble of liberalism and business development” and explains what he believes to be the crisis of the Israeli left.
“Because of the political, cultural and philosophical gap between Tel Aviv and the rest of Israel, the city still needs to develop its identity. It will take time for Telavivians to be proud of who they are.”
(coproduction: Mariia Malakh)
In an interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian Podcast, architect and film director Asaf Mann discusses the inspirations, set backs and advantages of designing and building large scale projects in Israel versus Europe.
He elaborates on “reinventing what we already know” in regards to the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem, and how the Star Wars Trilogy played a major role in envisioning the Ramon International Airport.
Although juggling both careers is a struggle and “you can’t get away with anything you want in Tel Aviv,” it seems the creative trajectory and scope of Mann’s work is only expanding.

Ori Feinberg is the founder and director of Feinberg Projects, a Tel Aviv based contemporary art gallery. His gallery aims to represent Israeli art around the world, and bring international art to Israel.
In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian podcasts, he shares his thoughts about Tel Aviv’s bursting art scene. Ori’s perspective on Israeli art is largely influenced by the many years he spent studying and living in New York City.
“Israel is a much smaller market,” he explains. “It’s a lot harder to find buyers here. That’s why I dedicate a lot of my effort into promoting Israeli artists around the world. That being said, I’ve been in touch with artists in New York and Berlin, they want to come here. Artists from all around the world are sending submissions to show in Tel Aviv.”
Alona is an Israeli artist based in Tel Aviv and Berlin.
In this interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian Podcast, Rodeh elaborates on the elements of safety studied in her exhibition ‘Safe and Sound’ (which has been presented at Berlin’s Grimmuseum and Rosenfeld Gallery in Tel Aviv). “It’s about how safety is traced in reality,” she explains, “by institutions, by the country and by private people.”
Having worked in both Tel Aviv and Berlin, Alona has a unique perspective on the differences and similarities between the two cities. These differences raise a fascinating question when it comes to the issue of security: Where do people feel more safe?

Cohen tells us about the small nuances and contradictions that exist between French culture and her Mediterranean style. From the rhythms and beats, to the worlds of her songs, almost every choice she makes is filled with a rich cultural background. “My humor is quite Mediterranean, Parisians don’t really understand it,” she explains.

Hed Mayner is an up-and-coming menswear designer in Tel Aviv. In an interview with Yuval Regev for the Telavivian podcast, he shares his insights on the world of Israeli fashion – where spirituality meets functionality, Jewish influences meet oriental styles, and the rugged Israeli man meets the fashion-forward European.

Khaders shares powerful and insightful opinions on coexistence within the LGBT community, as well as out of it. His cheerful, optimistic, yet not delusional views are a breath of fresh air, especially in these difficult days of violence between Jews and Arabs.
Nurit Koniak is a prominent Israeli designer specializing in branding, art direction and graphic design. In an extensive interview with Yuval Regev for Telavivian podcast she shares her unique perspective on Tel Aviv’s design world, reflecting on what it means to be a creator in a city with so little boundaries.
“People here are hungry for innovation,” claims Nurit. In her eyes, Tel Aviv’s blatant lack of a firm base and a clear heritage is what sets the city’s design scene apart from the rest. She explains how the youngness of the city has allowed for such a wide array voices to be heard, addressing international trends that have swiftly made their way into Tel Aviv.
Nurit compares Tel Aviv to Copenhagen, in which she recently visited, drawing surprising similarities between the two cities. She shares her personal thoughts and feelings on Tel Aviv’s rare assets, while acknowledging the components that still need to be improved.
Koniak also elaborates on what creativity means to her, stressing the importance of dreaming as a crucial part of the creative process. She shares her personal inspirations and discusses the way she pushes her team and her students to think big and reach out of the box with their designs.

Until then, there had never been complete navigation around the planet, it was the first round the world, it left from Seville and 500 years of such a feat is celebrated. The exhibition ‘The longest trip: the first round the world’, in the General Archive of the Indies of Seville, commemorates that first circumnavigation of Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastián Elcano that departed from the capital of Andalusia.
In the sample, you can see until February 23 more than one hundred pieces and original documents, with writings and chronicles related to this round the world, which are exhibited for the first time before the celebration of that fifth centenary, a tribute to the exploratory spirit of the human.
The exhibition ‘The longest trip’ can be seen from Thursday in one of the most emblematic buildings in Seville, a reminder of its glorious past as a door of commerce with the Indies and reference in the study of the Spanish presence in America, very close of the docks of the Guadalquivir witnesses of the preparation, departure and heroic return of that historic expedition in Victoria, which concluded in 1522.
The exhibition is organized by Spanish Cultural Action and the Ministry of Culture and Sports and can be visited until February 23 in the General Archive of the Indies.
This year, 50 of the arrival of man on the moon are also celebrated, so the exhibition also wants to claim the exploratory spirit and the barrier-free attitude towards the unknown. Because surely 500 years ago the doors opened to new trips, new discoveries, new milestones.
In ‘The longest trip’ you can see a total of 106 original pieces and documents belonging to the General Archive of the Indies and to different institutions of other European countries, such as the Torre do Tombo National Archive, in Lisbon, or the National Library of France, and Spaniards, such as the National Library of Spain, the Museum of America, the Museum of Oriental Art of Valladolid …
The sample is structured in six large sections, based on the different phases of every discovery trip: Dream, Departure, Exploration, Destination, Return, and Transformation. The direct testimonies of the protagonists in a historical logbook guide the visitor in their journey.
After passing through Seville, the exhibition will travel to the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián between the months of June and September 2020.
At the moment, until February 23 you can see in Seville the exhibition ‘The longest trip: the first round the world’, which will surely inspire many to continue exploring in a world already traveled and known. Because you have to keep going around when you can … We leave you with a video about the sample.

In Eclipse of Reason (1946), Max Horkheimer shows how thinking has degenerated since the Enlightenment into what he characterizes as instrumental classification and calculation:
This type of reason may be called subjective reason. It is essentially concerned with means and ends, with the adequacy of procedures for purposes more or less taken for granted and supposedly self-explanatory. It attaches little importance to the question whether the purposes as such are reasonable.
Horkheimer evokes on the one hand the objectivity of the human situation as an individual’s relation to moral norms. On the other hand, he shows how this universality of rationality has gradually …

The chief of the George Soros-backed Open Society Foundations, viewed as key to advancing the Biden administration agenda, is leaving his post in July.
Tom Perriello, a former Democratic U.S. House member from Virginia, has been executive director of the foundations for five years. He is leaving the job and turning it over to the co-director, Laleh Ispahani, Politico reported.
“I’m so proud of what our @OpenSociety team has done in 5 years to help our partners deliver big for inclusive democracy, racial equity, antitrust, climate, and more,” Perriello said in a tweet. “Long way to go, but arc feels bent. Glad to announce that @lispahani will take over as ExDir of OSUS [Open Society-U.S.] in July.”
Ispahani tweeted her appreciation for the upcoming promotion. Her Twitter background photo features herself and two others wearing face masks.
“I’m extremely proud to be stepping into this role at this uniquely important institution. I plan to keep fighting for democracy and open society,” Ispahani tweeted.
George Soros is a billionaire funder of numerous left-wing causes, and is widely reviled on the Right.
“Periello and Soros love to label as ‘democracy’ what is actually their Democratic Party agenda, as even their mainstream media sycophants admit,” Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center, which investigates nonprofits, told The Daily Signal in an email. “Witness Politico calling Periello a top ‘operative’ supporting Biden administration ‘objectives’ and never mentioning ‘philanthropy,’ because it’s all politics, all the time.”
His replacement, Ispahani, may be even more extremist and harmful, given her background at the Brennan Center and ACLU, which suggests Soros is doubling-down on radical prosecutors bringing chaos to cities.
Politico quoted Soros’ son, Alex Soros, saying, “Five years ago, we looked at the scale of not just the threats, but opportunities for open, inclusive democracy in the United States, and decided to double our investments and hire Tom Perriello to transform the way we worked.”
Under Perriello, 48, the Open Society Foundations changed its funding priorities, Politico reported, while doubling its budget. That meant larger grants that Perriello said helped advance President Joe Biden’s liberal political agenda.
Perriello’s time in Congress was marked by two wave elections. He served a single term in Congress from Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, elected with other Democrats when then-Sen. Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 and lost the seat in the ensuing Republican red wave of 2010.
He made an unsuccessful run for the Democratic nomination for governor in Virginia in 2017. He had the endorsement of Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and several Obama administration alumni campaigned for him. But he lost to then-Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, who went on to win the governorship.
Some of the Biden victories that the Soros-backed group takes some credit for are the numerous environmental initiatives in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, passed last year.
The organization also takes credit for a Biden executive order this week to devote more federal resources to long-term care, disability care, and child care, according to Politico.
The group also recruited 700,000 new poll workers, Ispahani told Politico.

A Consultant Gynecologist has called on the Government to provide screening services in all health facilities across the country to ensure women had easy access to test and vaccinate for cervical cancer.
Dr Nii Oku Aryee said making screening accessible at all levels was the surest way to closing the care gap for the deadly disease, which was killing many innocent women in Ghana.
Speaking on panel discussion as part of activities to mark this year’s World Cancer Day in Kumasi, Dr Aryee said government should consider rolling cervical cancer treatment onto the National Health Insurance Scheme.
“Every girl, after nine years, should be screened, tested, and vaccinated to close the gap near zero, cancer of the cervix is treatable, the earlier we act as a country, the better it will be for everyone,” he stated.
The programme was organised by the Breast Care International (BCI), on the theme; “Close the Care Gap.”
Dr Aryee, also the Medical Superintendent of the Mamponteng Government Hospital, said Ghana records about 3,000 cases of cervical cancer every year, and half of the affected women lost their lives to the disease.
Most of the cancer diseases were found in middle and low income countries, which made the situation dire.
He indicated that men had a huge role to play in cervical cancer control since majority of the cancers were associated with the human papillomavirus (hpv), which women acquired through sexual intercourse with men.
“In closing the cancer gap, especially cervical cancer, we need to test more women for hpv, screen and vaccinate,” he said. Dr Samuel Amanamah, Urologist, touching on prostate cancers, said it was one of the cancers claiming the lives of Ghanaian men.
He said the risk factors of a special race (black African man), age and diet contributed to most men having the disease.
He charged men, aged 40 and above, to prioritise the consumption of more fruits and vegetables, which were major fighting agents for prostate cancers, saying healthy diets played key roles in prostate cancer alleviation.
Dr Mrs Beatrice Wiafe Addai, the Founder, BCI, noted that cancers required the attention and commitment of all pursuant to closing the care gap.
She stressed the need for the government to increase taxes on all tobacco, sugar-sweetened beverages, alcohol and fast foods in Ghana as they were high risk factors as far as cancers were concerned, hence they must be regulated to
discourage their consumption. Research conducted in the United States of America and the United Kingdom showed that when taxes on those commodities were increased, many people who consumed the products stopped using them.
Dr. Wiafe Addai cited for instance that although tobacco was not advertised in Ghana, a lot of people consumed it, which accounted for most of the lung, breast, cervical and throat cancers in the country.
The use of shisha, another tobacco product, was not being regulated, she said.
“We cannot sit and fold our hands and watch the youth consuming these products in large quantities.”
“The Government should be bold enough to increase taxes on them to deter people from buying and using them.”
Dr Wiafe Addai said cancers still existed and everyone must wake up to the call in fighting the disease.
The World Cancer Day is celebrated on the 4th of February every year to create awareness on the need to initiate action against the corrosive spread and prevent deaths.

The Sri Lanka Air Force has embarked on an ambitious Research and Development program to develop an indigenous aviation technology in collaboration with the Moratuwa University.
The project is progressing rapidly under the direct supervision of Air Chief Marshal Roshan Gunethilake and the UoM Vice Chancellor Prof Malik Ranasinghe on the advices of the Secretary of Defence.
Recently, Air Force published some photographs of their latest Unmanned Aerial vehicle (UAV) produced in SLAF on their web. http://www.airforce.lk/news.php?news=340

India: We are in the World Cup year and the excitement is only getting high as each day is passing by. The much anticipated ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is around three months away from now. The cricket extravaganza will be played from 5th October and the final of the event is all set to take place on 19th November. A total of 48 matches will take place and 10 teams will fight for the title.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India Playing 11 for the World Cup Prediction
India will be one of the favourites going into the ICC World Cup 2023. The particular reason behind this is that the event will take place in their home and they’ll have a great chance to end their ICC title drought. The Men in Blue last won the ICC trophy in 2013 and since then all they have faced is heartbreak. But this time around it’ll be a great opportunity for them to win.
Coming to the playing 11, there’s no brainer that skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will open the innings for India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The duo since the start of the ODIs this year has been terrific as they have been scoring runs staggeringly well at the top and have been providing their team with solid starts.
Virat Kohli no doubt will be batting at No.3 but the question remains who will be there for them at No.4. Shreyas Iyer, who has been India’s best batter in ODIs will be there at No.4. He has been out of the action for a while now but has started batting in the nets.
India since the last few years has played KL Rahul as a keeper in the team. It’s fair to say that he has done a remarkable job and with the way he has approached the role he will be there as a keeper in the team at No.5 Hardik Pandya, who is the vice-captain, is expected to play a crucial role with Ravindra Jadeja in the team with both bat as well as the ball at No.6 and No.7 respectively.
Kuldeep Yadav is likely to support Jadeja in the spin department. Whereas it is expected that India will have Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj in the pace bowling department.
Here’s the Indian XI for the World Cup 2023

I had a small glut of home grown courgettes recently so happened upon this Georgina Fuggle recipe for courgette, ricotta & mint parcels when googling recipes to use up vegetables. They were so quick and easy to make for my barbecue at the weekend they may well replace my standard quiche as a vegetarian side. The flavours were quite mild but nice and refreshing with the hint of mint. Hopefully my dozens of green tomatoes will ripen soon and I will be bringing you tomato recipes then!
Courgette, Ricotta and Mint Parcels
1 courgette, grated
1 small bunch mint leaves, finely chopped
1 medium egg + 1 egg, beaten for brushing
1 pack filo (6 x 45g sheets)
60g butter, melted
Poppy or sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. Pop the grated courgette in a sieve and squeeze to allow excess water to drain.
Mix the courgette, mint, ricotta and egg together in a bowl and season generously.
Lay a sheet of filo on the work surface and brush with melted butter. Sandwich a second sheet on top and brush again before cutting the double-thickness filo, lengthways, into three strips.
Starting at one end of a strip, pop a large spoonful of the mixture into a corner. Fold the corner over diagonally, to form a triangle, and continue folding in this way until you reach the other end of the strip.
Glaze your finished parcels with an egg wash, sprinkle with poppy/sesame seeds and bake for 20 minutes.

Christopher Williams: Secession
Foreword by Matthias Hermann. Text by Christian Holler, Vanessa Muller.
In late 2005, Vienna's Secession gallery exhibited work by the influential Los Angeles Conceptual artist and master of appropriated commercial imagery, Christopher Williams, alongside work by the Dutch collaborators Jeroen de Rijke and Willem de Rooij. The show was documented in two separate catalogues--one for each artist (or artist team)--and this volume presents the work of Williams only. It includes photographs of a model showcasing a shower door, cameras and camera parts, corncobs, car interiors, bicycles and other elements of the urban landscape. Viewers may be familiar with some of the work, which was featured in 2006 on the cover of Artforum. The de Rijke and de Rooij volume of this two-part catalogue is not available here.

Now I've got over the deep ish let's get on with the happy nail art :D
What do you do when you don't know what to put on your nails? You look around for inspiration, wallpaper, clothing, the internet or in this case your fridge ;) ok so my fridge doesn't actually contain any of the following :( but my head is full of it :p. Of course I'm on about good ol junk food. I figured it was a while since I had done any cartoon style work (if ever) so no time like the present ;).
These nails turned out the way I had in my head which is always a good thing and also a rarity ha!
My base colour is the beautiful Illamasqua Nomad, then I painted the food stuffs on with my little paint brush using various nail polishes, once they had dried I went around the edges with a black nail art pen and then to finish I went and put the all important white highlights on with the white nail pen, that white highlight turns the images from flat to living cartoony foods hahaha.
I didn't do my left hand as I smudged the polish on basically every finger and I really couldn't be bothered to fix it and then do nail art lol
My pinky is chips/fries with ketchup, then nachos with cheese, chocolate cake with caramel sauce and pepperoni pizza mmmmmm my thumb says I love junk food (I'm not sure why it's out of focus, sorry!)
She has from pinky inwards, pizza, fish and chips, curry (really hard to think of how to portray that ha) burger and on the thumbs a taco and a fajita.
I'm going to play catch up and comment now on all the blogs I've been neglecting! Hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather (if it's sunny where you are!) see you all soon :)

“You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable.”
-Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me
This quote from the text Between the World and Me by accomplished American Author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, describes the experience of being Black in the United States. This poignant message should also be communicated to psychologists seeking to serve as advocates of systemic change. Our field is often guided by principles based on “things that have worked in the past,” and it can be difficult to implement new perspectives, policies, and procedures, yet doing so is essential to the provision of equitable care and the production of representative research. We must ask new questions, pursue novel methods, and challenge the status quo regardless of resistance based on cultural discomfort (one of the constructs described in Owen’s 2013 framework of multicultural orientation). Through our selection of the special focus for the past four issues, “Social Justice in Psychotherapy: Bringing Advocacy and Interdisciplinary Perspectives to the Forefront,” we have intended to elicit content focused on broadening our conceptualization and understanding of psychotherapy, and we are thankful for the unique contributions you have made to this publication and to the Division at large.
This year has been a productive one at the Bulletin. We have put effort into calibrating and refining our editorial process, and with your help, we have been effective in disseminating timely and informative publications. Thank you to our editorial team members, Stephanie Winkeljohn Black (Associate Editor), Kate Axford (Editorial Assistant), Sree Sinha (Editorial Assistant), Kourtney Schroeder (Internet Editor), and Zoe Ross-Nash (Associate Internet Editor). We also wish to express our true appreciation for Resident Bulletin Expert, Tracey Martin. To the domain representatives and thoughtful authors who submit pieces, we have valued your time and the dedication you put into shaping our publication into the engaging medium for the exchange of ideas that it has become.
In this final edition of the year, we have a collection of thought provoking articles whose content is broad in scope. You will also find a column from our President, Dr. Clara Hill, which describes her Presidential Initiative and the thought process behind it. Under the leadership of Dr. Hill, the Division continues to thrive in spite of the very challenging times that have pervaded 2021. We admire your productivity and look forward to the ideas and insights you will communicate in 2022. With that said, we welcome your submissions and plan to operate on the following schedule of deadlines: January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th. Your writing serves as an important mechanism for members of the Division to remain engaged and apprised of contemporary issues that we face as a field.
As concern about COVID-19 variants continues to rise, we at the Bulletin wish you and your loved ones a healthy and safe holiday season. We continue to acknowledge that providing any direct care at this time (in person or via telehealth) is accompanied by a sense of fear and stress that is shared by clients and therapists alike. It is our overarching goal that the bulletin serve as an outlet for you as you reflect on your experiences and think critically about your position and power as a member of our profession. For submission guidelines or to write for the Bulletin, visit our website at http://societyforpsychotherapy.org/bulletin-about/. Please reach out with questions to firstname.lastname@example.org. See you in the New Year!

As a child, Rusticula was raised in a convent of Arles, France. Sometimes the little girl would take a nap as one of the nuns propped her on her knee. The nun would gently recite a psalm in the child's ear. As Rusticula awoke and heard the words, she absorbed them, so that by her teenage years she knew the Psalms by heart. Remaining at the convent to become a nun, Rusticula excelled in meekness, obedience, and prudence. When only about eighteen, she was chosen to become her convent's abbess. As the other nuns slept, she spent whole nights in church tearfully offering prayers for the religious entrusted to her care and for all the lay faithful beyond the convent walls. One night, upon falling asleep, Rusticula experienced a vision of the virgin martyr Saint Lucy, clothed in a gold-threaded dress. Lucy addressed Rusticula as "Marcia," the nickname her family had used for her when she was a child: "Marcia, know that when you will have departed from this body, you shall have a portion with me, actually with the rest of the virgin disciples of Christ, who have fought for the name of the Lord."

DBT + Narrative Therapy
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and narrative therapy are both systemic therapies, which means that they view your life as a “system of systems:” Everything is a web of interacting factors. Every family or community is a system of relationships. Every land is a system of peoples, resources, values, rules and history. DBT would say that each link within each system has the potential -- in fact the necessity-- to change. Narrative therapy would say that each unique outcome within each system offers stories that can inspire change.
In DBT, dialectics means to hold two seemingly opposite things together as true at the same time. The main dialectic about me as your therapist is that I will wholly and absolutely accept you, just as you are; and I will push for you to change and grow. DBT is emotion-focused: Every emotion is what Linehan calls a “full-system response,” made up of bodily sensations, thoughts, values, motor functions and actions. So DBT explores how the full system of each emotion shapes and is shaped by all of life's other systems, and this insight helps us to build emotional mastery for being in life.
Narrative therapy says that the stories we tell about our lives create our identities. Compounding traumas (e.g., microagressions, multiple oppressions, repeated abuse) and even survival (e.g., the evolution of our fight-or-flight response) have conditioned us to tell stories of fear, shame and loss. These dominant stories hold truth and are important: They tell us to hide ourselves from danger, often because the danger is real; they tell us to despair, often because real horrors and injustices have occurred that we need to mourn. But dominant stories can also distort truth in ways that tell us our identities are the problem, are shameful, are hopeless or powerless. Narrative therapy is preference-focused: We all have certain values, accomplishments, hopes and commitments that we hold as more precious than others. So narrative therapy explores the stories that “thicken” these preferred parts of our identities, and this storying helps us to build up our preferred selves.
I love DBT because it can bring us right into our bodies and emotions when it's safe enough to go there, and because it can help us just as much to notice at times when going there is not safe enough. The more we fine-tune these forms of emotional mastery, the more insight we gain into how we can both love and shape our reality.
I love narrative therapy because it takes us into our imaginations, memories and hopes. These adventures can help us to connect with what we hold most precious. In these connections, we start to weave our preferred stories into our actual identities in the here-and-now.
You'll notice that I'm speaking about DBT and narrative therapy together, rather than giving each their own separte section. That's because I use these two models in tandem. I believe that they balance each other out: embodiment versus imagination, and reality versus ideals. DBT would call this pairing a dialectic: a greater synthesis of two polarities. Narrative therapy would call this pairing multi-storied: a thick description of experience. In my experience (and I admit that not everyone agrees with me), DBT and narrative therapy make a lot of room for one another and bring out each other's best.

My Specific Approach to DBT
It's important for you to know that the DBT that I use is classified as modified because I do not adhere strictly to the pure model, in the following ways:
- While DBT is my primary model, I also rely heavily on narrative therapy as a secondary model and on various other frameworks as additional models.
- I do not belong to a weekly DBT consultation team, which is a standard requirement of the pure model, and membership of which again requires adherence to the pure DBT model; instead I prefer my clinical and peer consultation meetings to include practicionners who work in diverse ways from one another. That way, my colleagues and I can help each other to stay balanced by differing ways of working and thinking.
- I am not affiliated with any DBT skills training groups, which are a core part of DBT. To supplement the lack of skills training groups in my practice: (a) I refer clients as often as I can to DBT skills groups or mindfulness groups; (b) I incorporate a DBT skills training component into the beginning of each session, which covers the four DBT skills categories (i.e., core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness), and which requires homework of my clients.
Even with these modifications, I believe that my approach and skills in DBT are in-depth. In addition to ongoing reading, study and training in DBT, I also keep the following DBT-informed practices throughout my professional and personal life:
- I rehearse, over and over, my commitment to dialectics in all the paradoxes in my work and personal life: acceptance-versus-change, anger-versus-love, justice-versus-graciousness, caution-versus-openheartedness, and on and on;
- I value the wisdom of non-rational reasoning, which can bubble up when we trust our gut or intuition rather than logic or emotion on their own;
- I practice personal meditation daily, usually for 45 minutes;
- I practice all groups of DBT skills in my personal life, including the more advanced mindfulness skills that I draw from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT); and
- I spend a total of about 14 days per year in silent retreat.
All that said, if you are looking for pure DBT rather than my modified approach, I have some excellent colleagues to whom I can happily refer you.
What Happens in a Block of Sessions
Getting Started (The Orientation/Co-Assessment Phase)
Our first four sessions will jump around between exploring the following things: (1) your values, commitments, joys and strengths that could help us shrink whatever problems brought you to therapy; (2) your short-term and longer-term hopes and dreams; and (3) the problems that you’ve come to therapy for help with. (4) Based on #’s 1-3 and our usual session stuff (see “In each session,” below), we’ll agree on the following: (a) whether our relationship feels like a good enough fit to keep going; (b) some things we'll focus on during the rest of our block of sessions; (c) how often our sessions will happen in this block (which can be either weekly or every other week); (d) the number of sessions that this block of sessions will be — somewhere between 8-20 sessions, depending on what your needs and hopes are. You’re not financially locked into this commitment; but I hope you’ll consider my belief that seeing therapy through for the agreed-upon schedule and timeline tends to be much more beneficial toward your goals.
In Each Session
- we'll review your daily DBT Diary Card from the past week, which is a mindfulness tool that helps you to grow awareness about factors that may shape the events in your life;
- we’ll spend about 10 minutes on emotion-based skills training (i.e., DBT skills in core mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance; or advanced mindfulness training in MBCT), which will include taking up your homework and learning new things;
- we’ll make a to-do list of things to explore for the rest of the session, ranked in this order of importance: (i) anything that puts your life in danger, (ii) anything that gets in the way of therapy working well for us (this might be things I’m doing or not doing, or things you’re doing or not doing), and (iii) things that relate to what we've decided to focus on in our work;
- we’ll go through our to-do list by exploring (a) things that help you to feel joyful, comfortable, safe or strong (these might be emotions like joy or gratitude; skills or actions that you’re proud of; virtues that you enact like kindness or bravery; or values that you tap into, like sticking up for yourself or someone else); (b) things that contribute to you feeling miserable, overwhelmed, unsafe or helpless (these might be painful emotions like shame or self-hatred, actions that you feel uncomfortable or unhappy about, beliefs that keep you stuck, or memories that trigger you); (c) things that DBT calls the links between the different things I just mentioned in “a” and “b,” and what you might want to pay close attention to, cherish and/or change about those links;
- we’ll check in about whether we both feel on track with our goals, what we’re each taking away from our session (narrative therapy calls this witnessing) and what each of us will do for homework before next time.
Wrapping Up a Block of Sessions
In the last couple of sessions in a block, we’ll:
- talk about whether and how therapy has been helpful for you;
- celebrate your progress;
- take notice of any areas where you might want to work further;
- decide whether we’ve reached the end of our work together, or whether it would likely be beneficial to keep working together for a new block of sessions with new or updated goals;
- decide on and share in a goodbye ritual, or decide on how often and for how many sessions we'll meet in the next block.
What Happens Outside of Sessions
I'm a therapist who believes in homework (insert groan or cheer as appropriate). Some people love it, some people don't. Why do I recommend it? Because I think some of therapy is about developing emotional mastery, similarly to how you might master a second language. If you practice only when you’re talking to your language teacher, you are unlikely to grow mastery of the language, and your growth will certainly be much slower. Also, you’ll be giving your language teacher a lot of money for parts of your training that you could be doing at home for free! So to put it bluntly, I recommend therapy homework because:
- I believe that it helps the benefits of your therapy to be stronger and more generalizable to your life;
- I believe that these benefits will take this effect much faster than without homework; and finally
- It's cheaper! It's a lot of money you might not have to pay me for hours of skill-development that you could instead be doing at home for free.
The two types of homework I'll assign to you are:
(1) your daily DBT Diary Card and (2) handouts, worksheets and/or app-based lessons about DBT skills and/or mindfulness skills.
Out-of-Session DBT Phone Coaching
To my weekly clients, I offer multiple phone coaching calls between sessions, at no extra cost.
DBT phone coaching calls are very short, about five to ten minutes long each. Like Marsha Linehan, I believe that therapy doesn’t only happen within the session. Your life is different than the therapy room. So you can phone me between sessions to get coaching on using your skills (i.e., DBT skills in core mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; or MBCT advanced mindfulness skills) out in real life. These calls are insecure, so we keep our phone conversations to skills-based content rather than “deep stuff.”
How Can This Kind of Therapy Help?
In therapy, we can't be sure about how things will turn out. The potential benefits of psychotherapy have a pretty wide range and depth and can be described in all kinds of ways. I like Marsha Linehan’s metaphor of a house that is made up of four levels of emotional mastery:
- Level 1 in the “basement” is about gaining a sense of control in how you engage with your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, motor functions and actions;
- level 2 on the “main level” is about gaining the ability to experience your emotions without being regularly overwhelmed by them;
- level 3 on the "2nd floor" is about gaining the ability to experience “ordinary happiness and unhappiness;” and
- level 4 in the “attic” is about connecting (and over and over reconnecting) with a deep sense of freedom;
- all levels of the house are about growing insight into your life and emotional mastery in how you use that insight.
If you develop more mastery at any level of the house in a given season of your life, your life will likely feel substantially more fulfilling, sustainable and worthwhile than it did before. These “levels” of course are not always in order: you might operate sometimes at one level, and sometimes at another, and sometimes at multiple levels at a time. Wherever you might be in the house, mindfulness of where you tend to land right now and where you’d like to get to in the near future can give us a helpful blueprint for our work together.

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport will serve as the main port of arrival for economic leaders, executives, and members of the media attending the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week this month. The Minister of Transport paid a visit to the airport to inspect the readiness of relevant facilities.
Minister of Transport Saksayam Chidchob visited Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to inspect the airport’s preparedness to accommodate special passengers participating in the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week (AELW) 2022, which will be taking place in Bangkok on 14-19 November.
The airport, which is the largest international airport and the main port of arrival for air travelers in Thailand, is expected to handle the highest number of AELW participants traveling by air.
Mr. Saksayam said he had ordered the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand, and Airports of Thailand which owns and operates 6 airports, as well as related agencies to fully prepare their facilities and staff members for the occasion. These entities will be coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Customs Department, and the Excise Department to facilitate travel formalities for APEC leaders.
Nineteen extra passport control counters have been added to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to accommodate passengers.
Facilities at Bangkok’s secondary airport, Don Muang International Airport, have also been prepared for the AELW, including 101 aprons of which 17 are for overnight parking. The Transport Minister has urged related agencies to ensure maximum security protection for the country leaders on their arrivals and departures.
Both airports will remain open for commercial flights during the AELW period. All the extra procedures to accommodate economic leaders will not affect general passengers using the airports during that time. (NNT)


Despite a preference for manually operated transmission I drive a 3 Series BMW with a 4 speed ZF automatic gearbox for a substantial mileage each year.
As good as this gearbox is I never cease to wonder why the seven lever positions need to be in a straight line format. The total lever travel is only 4 inches so selecting the right position without visual help comes far from naturally.
Is there any reason why a nearer to normal manual box layout cannot be provided? With ‘D’. ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘3’ at each corner of a square, ‘Park’ at 9 o’clock. Reverse at 3 o’clock, both protected by a lift catch and ‘Neutral’ centrally, the car would be transformed.
There would be no need ever to consult the position indicators (which you cannot see directly because BMW. like Mercedes, do not make any change for right-hand drive on certain models) and making a quick move from stationary forwards or backwards could be done with very much more certainty.
In city traffic a good automatic does make sense and I reckon it would make more sense elsewhere and be a lot more fun if my suggestion he adopted.

cruisin’ along the River Niger with boat “crew”…Niamey, Niger
According to the vast collection of available creative work authored over the last 10,000 years, it seems as if humans have persistently ventured to “find themselves,” as the neo-psycho-spiritual lingo goes. Me, on the other hand, yeah, I’ve spent the last 10 years trying to lose myself. Fortunately for me, I’ve been profoundly successful. Lose yourself, Eric? What?
You see, unlike most people, I recognized and fully appreciated the hard truth that there were quite a few areas of my person that were immensely jacked the hell up and therefore required meticulous un-jacking. Some areas were simply empty, and void of purpose or cause. The things I had been socialized to care about – I didn’t give a damn about. The things I was taught to believe, I no longer believed because they were incompatible with my unique existence. I realized the only way to truly evolve and improve was to shed myself of former thoughts and things; so I changed – a lot! I simply decided to exercise my God-given courage to be exactly who I wanted.
My work in Africa has proved to be a great source of pleasure, strength, and enlightenment. My journey thus far has been one hell of a dance. There were periods where I nearly lost a foot. Thanks to good friends – close friends, a lil bit of family, and the good people of the Bulleit Bourbon brand of booze, I’m a much better version of myself. And much like the Apple family of tech products – the best is yet to come – but, ya gotta wait in line.
I’ve spent the last 10 years traveling, exploring, adventuring, and occasionally losing my damn mind. I owe it to myself. I, like all of you, have a reservation with a cemetery and an undertaker. And unlike Hotels.com, the booking is non-transferrable, non-refundable, and may not be canceled at any time.
Welcome to my universe…enjoy.

If you use assistive technology (such as a screen reader) and need a version of this document in a more accessible format, please email email@example.com. Please tell us what format you need. It will help us if you say what assistive technology you use.
This Handbook sets out a standard way of recording hedgerows. Its focus is on the wildlife, or biodiversity, of hedgerows. It also recognises the importance of hedgerows for farming, and their contribution to the beauty of our countryside historically and culturally. The survey method in this handbook will give accurate consistent information about the state of our hedgerows at a local level, what the main influences on their condition are, and what we need to do to restore them.
We hope that the handbook will raise awareness and interest among land managers and local communities about the considerable importance of hedgerows for wildlife, and help to identify the most pressing challenges and the best ways to address them.
This handbook was prepared on behalf of the Steering Group for the UK Biodiversity Action Plan for Hedgerows.

I’ll try to keep this brief, as Twitter has seemingly beaten this dead horse of a topic for so long it’s since turned into a foul-tasting jerky.
Mitch Marner is planning to meet with other NHL teams this week, the first of his reported rendezvous set to take place as early as tomorrow afternoon. And while Marner may technically still be under contract to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the moment – his rights belonging to them as an RFA – courting outside suitors during a tense negotiation saga is an unimpeachable right afforded to him the CBA of which the youngster should take full advantage.
Frankly, I think most fans would agree with that sentiment. The situation Marner finds himself in right now is entirely foreign to nearly every single keyboard warrior (myself included) weighing in on this perceived stalemate. We’re talking about a 22-year-old kid here, after all – coming off the best individual scoring season from any Leaf since Mats Sundin’s identical 94-point campaign in 1997, and who wants nothing more than to secure his financial future to the greatest possible degree.
Nobody can blame Marner for that. In fact, it’s the smart thing to do.
The NHL is structured in a way which more or less strips young players of any control they’d otherwise hold over their contract status. Employees aren’t meant to be at the complete mercy of their employer. That is simply not how a workforce functions in the real world. So if you happen to be someone routinely pounding the table for a more labour-forward league, criticizing Marner for exercising the very few rights does have is decidedly hypocritical.
Is everyone clear on that? Cool. Now let’s get to the hard part.
I long for the day when the name “Darren Ferris” regains the relative anonymity it once held and slowly fades out of Leafs circles. We didn’t appreciate that golden age enough, my friends. And now we’re paying for it.
An agent’s job is to milk their client’s team for every single penny they’re worth. It’s simple logic, really. Your primary representative should, in all honesty, be conducting their business with nothing except your best interests at heart. That’s what you pay them for, right?
Well, that last part can be somewhat of a double-edged sword.
You see, a player’s “best interests” can occasionally extend to areas outside of pure monetary gain. Personal relationships and reputations tend to be treated with great importance as well, particularly when operating within an industry as regrettably old fashioned and “honour”-based as hockey.
Sure, your M.O. might be to take every single general manager to the wall in negotiations, and that is entirely your prerogative. But those decisions tend to have consequences, and those consequences tend to carry risks. Bridges can be burned. Pleasantries can be broken.
Darren Ferris doesn’t seem care for any of that. His track record as a player agent (specifically when it comes to clients seeking their post-ELC extensions) is riddled with daytime soap operas eerily similar to the one unfolding before us right now.
There’s a distinct method to Ferris’ madness:
- Declare your client to be in “no rush” to sign an extension, deferring instead to their “respect of the process”.
2. Partake in a high-stakes game of chicken by carrying negotiations throughout the entire offseason and into October, therein handcuffing your client’s team during the July 1st free agency period.
3. As MLHS’s Kevin Papetti so wonderfully summarized in his tweet above, threaten the “very real” possibility of your client beginning the regular season overseas (most likely in Switzerland, a Ferris locale of choice) in the hopes of forcing said team’s hand.
4. Have the team inevitably call your bluff after one final boardroom stand, and proceed to sign your client to what is ultimately an underwhelming dollar figure when accounting for the path which led you here.
Ferris represents ten players who conceivably fit the category of “NHL regular” last season, per PuckPedia
. Four of them – Marner being the fifth, with his saga yet to play out in full – have seen their post-ELC negotiations follow this EXACT SAME SCRIPT. As in, down the letter. It’s remarkable, really. At least they’re consistent.
“What about Taylor Hall. Mike? He’s listed as a Ferris client and signed his extension with the Oilers without threatening a holdout”. You are correct, valued reader. You are correct.
Although, it was Orr Hockey Group who represented Hall when he re-upped for another 7 years in Edmonton back in 2013, with the former first-overall pick recently making the switch over to the Ferris-led DHG Sports Agency on August 22, 2018. With Hall now one year out from his own free agency and claiming a powerful agent in his corner, it should come as no surprise that Ray Shero has been forced to publicly deny recent reports of his star winger supposedly not being interested
in signing an extension with the New Jersey Devils.
Rinse and repeat. A new cycle has begun.
This isn’t meant as a criticism of Ferris’ zealousness to do right by his clients. It’s what every young athlete fighting for leverage within a league designed specifically to give them none should hope for. But that doesn’t mean context should be ignored entirely.
Mitch Marner grew up a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. As fate would have it, he has since been drafted by them, developed by them, insulated within a core made up of similarly talented young stars and father figure veterans, and been used as the focal point of the most ambitious and successful free agent recruitment process of the salary cap era, as well.
Marner’s day-to-day itinerary is as seemingly comfortable as hockey can provide. On off days, Marner has the freedom to roam the streets of his hometown (possibly whilst shooting a lucrative commercial spot for one of the biggest companies in the entire world with his best friend, Auston Matthews), then don the jersey he idolized as a child on game nights before taking his place alongside one of the sport’s premier superstars in John Tavares.
Financial security is important, and that will undoubtedly be given to Marner regardless of where he eventually signs. But there is something to be said about not throwing away a good thing.
Marner could have easily found himself thrust down a path similar to that of Connor McDavid; a game-breaking talent stranded on a sinking team that continues to waste precious year after precious year of his prime. But he wasn’t. He was chosen by the Leafs as a teenager, proceeding to drag them (not by himself, mind you) into contender status, and set himself up to earn a place in franchise lore the likes of which have been seen by perhaps no one before him.
If that is all worth less than what will ultimately boil down to the annual difference of roughly $1 million, then so be it. But that should be Marner’s decision to make, not Ferris’. Right now, it’s unclear as to who is gripping the wheel.
There is a bright side, however. While the Marner Saga may be following the same old tired script, history has already shown fans its ending.
SPOILER ALERT: it’s a happy one.
