By Charles Heslett A BLUEPRINT is being drawn up for a city-wide scheme to slash the number of prostitutes working in the red light areas of Leeds.
The plan – the first of its type for the city – is being put together by police chiefs from the City & Holbeck and Chapeltown divisions along with Leeds City Council's community safety teams.
The YEP understands that independent voluntary groups, who offer confidential help and support to the street workers, will also play a major role in shaping the strategy which will be aimed at tackling the issue in the long term.
Last month the YEP revealed that the number of women working in the city centre's red light zone – which stretches from Water Lane through an industrial estate to the fringes of Holbeck – had topped 170.
Angry community leaders called for police to take action to stop the vice zone spreading into residential areas after women began working as far up as Holbeck Moor.
Vice-squad officers have already carried out what they and local residents regard as a successful crackdown in the city's other red light zone in Chapeltown. Women were also stopped plying their trade in the Sovereign Street and The Calls area of the city centre.
But others believe this has only displaced the problem and made the situation worse in Holbeck.
Tonight, Superintendent Peter Nicholson, of City & Holbeck police, will face residents at a public meeting organised by local ward councillors in Holbeck Moor.
Representatives from the voluntary groups will also be on the panel which will discuss residents' fears over the sprawling vice trade.
Supt Nicholson told the YEP: "What effectively happens is police involvement on its own only helps to move the problem elsewhere.
"What we have in the south Leeds area is the problem of dispersal from another area in Leeds.
"I've been pushing for some 12 to 18 months for a much more holistic approach to this whole issue.
"The only way we can make in-roads is through this holistic approach on a city-wide basis – which means the police working alongside the council's agencies, drug support teams and voluntary groups.
"The situation in Holbeck is not something we are trying to ignore - I've got real sympathy for residents.
"But I know if we just go in gung-ho and pick people up it will only make the situation worse in the long-term."
Supt Nicholson said a key requirement for the success of a city-wide policy would be better access to drug treatment and housing provision to help women get out of the 'vicious circle' of vice.
A Leeds City Council spokesman said: "We are working with our partners to develop a strategy that addresses the problem of prostitution at its root. However, it is too early to comment on the contents of the strategy."
l The public meeting will start at 7.30pm in the St Matthew's Community Centre next to Holbeck Moor.

When a 29-year-old Roberto Vives became the University at Albany’s track and field and cross country coach in 1985, he didn’t necessarily see it as a career job.
“My wife and I were going north,’’ said Vives, who is from the Bronx. “I said, well, it’s a five-year plan. We’ll go for five years and then we’ll look and see. Five years became 10, then 20, then 25, then 35. Now it’s home. We’re not going anywhere.”

(Jim Willie) The Gold Trade Note is gradually coming into view, its form within structured contracts is taking shape as components. the Petro-Dollar has almost completely vanished. The Petro-Yuan is essentially here in its infancy, in rudimentary form. the leap to the Gold Trade Note will be easy, once the pieces are aligned and in place. This new note for usage in secure trade settlement is in the inception process. It will be structured within existing trading vehicles and platforms. The Russians and Chinese appear to be forming the basis for the payment vehicle within the oil trade. Consider it as a formal reflection of the Iran-India gold for oil trade.
Bilateral Oil for RMB Sale + Shanghai Gold Exchange = Gold Trade Note
GOLD ENTERS THE TRADE EQUATION
Examine the many components for the demise of the Petro-Dollar, the fading importance of the USTreasury Bond, the chronically supressed Gold market, and the emerging structure of the oil trade among the Eastern superpowers. Grant Williams lays it out in wonderful style in a recent Zero Hedge article, truly great work. See Zero Hedge (HERE). Take it one step further. The Russians as primary oil producers have the ability to sell oil in RMB terms, accept the Chinese currency and purchase gold at the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Soon the Chinese can better organize their oil purchases from other nations. The vendors can turn around and do the same, convert the RMB into gold in Shanghai. The Petro-Dollar has been effectively replaced with the mechanisms of a Petro-Yuan erected on the Gold table. The Chinese are putting in place a link between oil and gold, once again like before the Bretton Woods Gold Standard was violated by Nixon in 1971. The Gold Standard is emerging, with respect to the oil market…

DECEMBER 30, 2016 / KEENAN TEAM | GROUPK
For as long as I remember elections were [real] elections (up until a few years ago when I had my eyes opened to reality). One side won and one side lost. Previously, it had never dawned on me that someone actually owned both parties, and no matter who won, that control group would be the actual winner.
This happened despite the US Democratic and Republican parties going through the motions in a continual effort to con us into believing the parties were fighting, when in fact (at the upper levels) they worked together, made money together and worked the con together; to bring us to our knees.
In other words, take one good look at who’s “who” in Congress and in the Senate. Then you will see who is who and who should not be there any longer.
Yes, we’ve been had for a long time – but not any longer, as we have awakened. We are tired of being had by a bunch of phony so-called politicians who pull the wool over our eyes again and again.

Karen Hades is at it again with gross stupidity and disinformation.
In her latest interview she is telling everyone that the original Bretton Woods Agreement has now expired and that all the gold that was put on deposit in the Global Collateral Accounts is now the property of the People of the World – due to the Statute of Limitations being 50 years with no claims against these deposits.
Hades claimed that Marcos, being a lawyer, arranged the agreement as such and that the gold came from Jose Rizal, a Philippine Ambassador to the Vatican; who is supposedly related to the old Queen of England.
Let’s get a bit of history correct to begin with.
Marcos was never M1 but he did negotiate with the Asian Elders to finance the reconstruction and world development after WW2 as detailed in the Bretton Woods Agreement.

Lindeen Looks To Challenge Rehberg
By JOHN HALBERT, Miles City Star
Although Monica Lindeen has risen to become a leader among Democrats in the Montana Legislature, she hits her term limit at the end of 2006.
Rather than seek a seat in the Montana Senate, Lindeen has set her sights higher - the United States House of Representatives. She has challenged Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg for Montana's single seat in that body.
As yet, she faces no significant opposition among Democrats and anticipates winning the primary election.
Lindeen, 43, grew up in Shepherd, and graduated from that high school, although she also lived a year in Billings in her youth. She is a third-generation Montanan.
"I definitely see myself as a typical Montanan," Lindeen said, figuring that may help in the race against Rehberg. His last challenger was Tracy Velazquez of Bozeman, who had come to the state about a decade ago.
Asked if a female candidacy plays a role in either race, Lindeen replied, "I've never approached anything in life based on my gender."
"I accept challenges. I've always tried to do the right thing. I grew up in a family without a lot of money, and I found a way to go to college.
"When I started my Internet business, everybody thought I was crazy. It was just a fad, like CB radio." Lindeen has since sold the Billings-based Internet business she and her brother started.
"When I took on Don Holland, a well-liked Republican rancher (a legislator from the Hathaway area), nobody thought I could do it."
Lindeen said she attributes her successes to "a willingness to work hard and do what is right. My father always said if you want something done right, you have to work hard and do it yourself.
You don't just sit back and complain and hope someone else will do it for you."
She also said some of her success stems from an ability to work with people.
"In '94, when I won my legislative seat, my grandfather said it's OK to debate the issues, but then you have to put the politics aside and work with other people for the benefit of the people who elected you," she said.
"I've been able to work with both parties very well to get bills passed. I got bills passed under Republican governors with Republican majorities.
"The number-one major issue (in her congressional campaign) is the willingness for both parties to quit playing politics and start working for the people who elected them," Lindeen said.
Her second issue is energy.
"This country really needs to get serious about an energy policy that decreases our dependence on oil. We need to get serious about looking to alternative fuels like fuel cells, ethanol, biofuels synfuels and others," she said.
Education is a priority that carries over from her legislative work. She said she is concerned about the No Child Left Behind legislation.
"It's fine to say to schools, 'Do a good job.' But when you put mandates on state and local schools, you should send money along with them," Lindeen said. "In Montana, a lot of that burden has been shifted to the local property tax payers."
She added that various social programs are also of great importance.
"Obviously, security nets are important - Social Security, pensions, veterans health programs are all very important issues to families. Health care. Oh my God, it's a big banana," she said.
As for national security, Lindeen said, "After watching what happened in the Gulf, the Homeland Security Department is a hopeless bureaucratic failure of red tape."
"I'm wondering what we've gotten for the millions and billions of dollars that we've spent, because it appears to me we're even less prepared than we were before 9/11. It does appear that the solution is not the bureaucratic Homeland Security Department."
Asked if that department should be split back into its component parts, Lindeen replied, "At this point, without more information, I would have to say yes." She added that more effort needs to be put toward preparing first responders and improving border security.
"I'd have to say put the resources where they'll do the most good, instead of creating a bureaucratic monster," she said.
Lindeen added that her first full quarter of fundraising has just been completed and the report is now being written.
"We met our goals, and exceeded them, actually," she said.

They usually are completely dependent upon one another, but instead involve close friends, family, and co-workers within their lives. Also, they are open to referring to their areas, career choices, and private passions.
Healthful relationships are built on good communication amongst the lovers. If you communicate well with your spouse, you’ll have a solid connection that will last. Even though different people communicate in different ways, if you as well as your partner can easily communicate within a direct and honest approach, you’re more likely to have a long-lasting romance. It’s also important to remember that each person has their own own exceptional communication design.

If you find yourself possessing hard time playing your partner or being too defensive, it is critical to learn how to communicate constructively. Even when that you simply in an discussion, try to tune in to your lover’s point of view and give your have perspective.
Healthful relationships are built on trust and value. Both parties should be open and honest of their lives and goals. A normal relationship has no secrets. And one should be able to discuss their past. If you’re having trouble communicating with your partner, it could be a sign of lack of trust.

2013 South Dakota State Preview: Offense [AUDIO]
South Dakota State begins the 2013 season Saturday night as a Top Ten team in the nation, based in part on the weapons they have returning on the offensive side of the ball.
Junior running back Zach Zenner led all FCS ball carriers with 2,044 yards as a sophomore, good for 157 yards per game.
With that kind of success, both Zenner and head coach John Stiegelmeier know defenses will be prepared to shut down the Jacks running game in 2013.
Junior quarterback Austin Sumner has thrown for more than 2,300 yards in each of his first two seasons in Brookings, and showed tremendous improvement last year, despite hurting his hand 10 days before season opener at Kansas.
That hand was operated on during the off-season.
Sumner and coach Stiegelmeier are happy with the way things are progressing with the recovery and preparation for the new season.
The key to the Jackrabbits' attack is a veteran offensive line, where four of five starters return, including All-America senior left tackle Bryan Witzmann.
Witzmann says blocking for Zenner is a lineman's dream come true.
The biggest question mark on the offensive side of the ball is the receiving corps. SDSU graduated their top two receivers from last season, Tyrel Kool and Aaron Rollin, and are looking at a couple of returning players to fill those voids, while hopefully getting some help.
SDSU and Butler kickoff at 6:00pm Saturday night at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in Brookings.

I’m fighting a losing battle but every eight weeks, I take myself to the hairdresser to banish the grey roots, for another wee while… I’m not ashamed to admit that while I’m there I like to flick through Heat and Closer to see what the celebrities have been up to since my last visit. But I’m more interested in the lives of real people, the ones that aren’t rich and famous. The folk that you walk past in the street without a second glance and haven’t had their lives airbrushed and edited. Minus an injection of Botox, these well lived-in faces carry stories in every wrinkle and laughter line.
It’s rare that ordinary folk have their stories recorded for future generations and that’s why oral history is so important in making sure these tales aren’t lost. I’m a big supporter of gathering stories from working class people and in particular from a woman’s point of view. That’s why I was keen to go along to the Women Making History Group in West Dunbartonshire organised by Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL) to find out more about the project and to meet a very special woman who is a key member of the group.
I travelled to deepest darkest Dalmuir to the Community Centre and received a really warm welcome by Lorna Stevenson who skillfully facilitates the group. The group’s aim is to research and document the life histories of ordinary local women throughout West Dunbartonshire with a focus on the theme of their ‘social lives’ and showcase these through the development of two unique community and educational resources in the form of a Memory Box and an A5 booklet. It was great to hear about their plans to source archive material and record their stories. I think a memory box is a brilliant idea for every family to contribute to and pass on to the next generation to keep their history alive.
I love history and have a fascination for Russia. That might help explain why the idea for my latest writing project highlights the Siege of Leningrad within a contemporary setting but also weaves in a local event in social history. A few months ago, I read an article in the Herald magazine featuring GWL’s Badges of Honour exhibition in which Violet McGuire’s Scotland USSR Society badge was part of the display. I knew that it would be really valuable for me to speak to Violet and thanks to GWL, I got the chance to chat to her about her connection to Russia. Violet is an exceptionally interesting woman who has traveled many times to Russia and I could’ve listened to her talking for hours. I felt very privileged to get the opportunity to speak to Violet who will be 92 years old in December and has a better memory than me. The work of GWL in saving Violet and other women’s stories is important in helping to stitch together the rich tapestry of social history and they do an amazing job on a very limited budget.
My dad died suddenly aged 62 and I wish I’d written down the stories of his childhood but feel in some way comforted that stories like Violet’s won’t be forgotten thanks to GWL.
Have you ever created a memory box? Have you recorded or written down family stories?
4 thoughts on “Keeping Stories Alive”
Your research trip sounds very fruitful. Hope you are able to make good use of those interesting stories coming your way.
Thanks Anne. Yes, it was well worth the trip. Talking with Violet sparked off another idea! 🙂
This sounds really interesting, Helen. I love hearing about working class people’s lives – it’s so important that their stories are told, especially the women often written out because they didn’t ‘work’.
Hi Naomi, Yes, the work of GWL is really interesting and like you I’m a big fan of preserving ‘ordinary’ stories from women who would normally be ignored in history.

Nine from Pac-12 advance in FIFA Women's World Cup
Eight former student-athletes (and one former head coach) from the Conference of Champions were in action on Monday during the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, all eight were still standing at day's end. The players, representing the United States and England, advance to face China and Canada, respectively, in the quarterfinals beginning on June 26. Your recap of Monday's matches up north:
United States beats Colombia, 2-0 (Commonwealth Stadium // Edmonton, Alberta)
Seven star-spangled soccer stars are on the U.S. Women's National Team – eight if you count head coach Jill Ellis, former head coach of UCLA women's soccer – representing the Pac-12 Conference. Of those seven, four earned caps for the USA on Monday night, including forward Alex Morgan (California), forward Christen Press (Stanford), midfielder Lauren Holiday (UCLA) and goalkeeper Hope Solo (Washington). Play was fairly pedestrian in the first half, with neither team finding the back of the onion bag before intermission. The action broke wide open in the second half, though, with former Golden Bear Alex Morgan scoring her first goal in four matches shortly after Colombia's goalkeeper was sent off with a red card in the 60th minute. Morgan shot a laser on goal from just outside the six that bounced off of Colombia's keeper and into goal. Carli Lloyd added another goal on a penalty kick in the 73rd minute for the Red, White and Blue, which wrapped up the 2-0 win for the United States. The Women's National Team is set to face China on Friday in Ottawa.
England tops Norway, 2-1 (TD Place Stadium // Ottawa, Ontario)
Representing Oregon State women's soccer for England is Jodie Taylor, who played for the Beavs from 2003-2007 and was a first-team all-conference recipient in each of her four years in Corvallis. The striker entered the game for the Brits in the 63rd minute after England scored to tie the match at one apiece. She proved to be a threat on the field quickly, as England's Lucy Bronze scored the winning goal with the assist from Taylor in the 76th minute. England, who won 2-1, advances to face host-nation Canada in the round of eight on Saturday in Vancouver.

Plaintiff entered into a contract with the City which specified that by paying a specified sum, plaintiff satisfied its fee payment obligations to the City. Years later when plaintiff applied for additional building permits to construct additional residences, the City imposed additional affordable housing impact fees in accordance with ordinances adopted after the contract with plaintiff. Held, plaintiff must pay the fees. To the extent the contract purported to immunize plaintiff from the effect of later-enacted land use controls such as the impact fee, it was unenforceable as against public policy. A governmental entity may not contract away its police power, and land use regulation is an exercise of that power.

Deputy chief choice an important one
The upcoming departure of Jody O'Guinn as deputy police chief in Alton makes appointing higher administration one of the top priorities for new Mayor Tom Hoechst.
Hoechst will have to focus on stability and getting the right officer in the administrative role.
O'Guinn spent 22 years with the Alton Police Department and served seven years as deputy chief. He was a graduate of FBI Academy, worked on the MEGSI drug task force and was commander of the regional terrorism response unit. He will be very difficult to replace.
Under Alton Police Chief Chris Sullivan and O'Guinn's guidance, a lot has been accomplished in recent years. We think it is is important to keep the continuity of the Alton Police Department alive and we hope the new mayor will consider that when he makes a decision for the appointment of the new deputy.
Without question, O'Guinn has made a big difference in his work with the MEGSI drug task force and his role as commander of the regional terrorism response unit.
Much has been done to address the problem of illegal drug distribution throughout Alton in recent years - more than during any period we can remember.
It is Mr. Hoechst's responsibility to choose department heads that he feels will properly lead the city. And in the replacement of O'Guinn, he must name someone capable of rising to the top position when required.
That's a big responsibility. The decisions will be coming in the near future when Hoechst officially takes over for previous Alton Mayor Don Sandidge.
We hope Hoechst will consider the positives of the people he has in place as he ponders future appointments.
We wish O'Guinn good luck in his new role. He has been part of this community for more than two decades and he will be missed.

The special committee tasked with looking into a possible impeachment of Secretary of State Dianna Duran will meet for the first time next week.
Whether anything substantial will happen at this meeting is a good question—one we are still trying to find an answer to. State Reps. Zach Cook, R-Ruidoso, and Gail Chasey, D-Albuquerque are the co-chairs of the bipartisan special investigatory committee. Neither returned our calls and emails left for them Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
Last time we went here was the fall of 2011, when then-state House Speaker Ben Luján appointed a subcommittee to look into the impeachment of Jerome Block Jr., a Public Regulation Commissioner who was under fire for alleged car theft and misusing state money. Block Jr. later pleaded guilty to the charges and resigned.
That year, the impeachment panel met a handful of times before Block voluntarily resigned by the end of the month in a plea deal with then-Attorney General Gary King.
This reporter was on hand to cover a Sept. 13, 2011 meeting for the Santa Fe Reporter:
Today, the subcommittee spent about a half-hour trying to narrow the following sentence in one of the approved rules: “Only subcommittee members, an analyst for the majority, an analyst for the minority and designated Legislative Council Service staff members may attend executive sessions.”
It came as part of a rule that would require the subcommittee to conduct “appropriate proceedings” in the process of considering impeachment.
Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Curry, mentioned striking “only” from the sentence to assure impeachment sessions always have an analyst for both parties and members of the LCS present. Rep. Larry Larrañaga, R-Bernalillo, followed up on the idea by making it into a motion. But before that happened, others suggested that moving “may” from the sentence would be more clarifying.
After much deliberation over this, the subcommittee ended up deciding to simply strike the entire sentence in question.
The subcommittee members also weighed how they, like a grand jury, would make impartial decisions amid the constant embarrassing news headlines about Block. State Rep. Eliseo Alcon, D-Milan, explained at that meeting how he would remain unbiased.
“I read the news and the blogs for information,” he said. “I don’t believe everything they say.”
This meeting came during the 2011 special session on redistricting. Since no such special session is happening now, more could happen during next week’s first meeting.
Earlier this month, the interim Legislative Council approved formation of the special committee appointed by House Speaker Don Tripp, R-Socorro, to look into impeachment. They also approved $250,000 in funding for the committee.
In 2011, the Block impeachment subcommittee didn’t approve general counsel until its third meeting. Then, the subcommittee hired Albuquerque attorney Robert Gorence for the job after one week of searching for a lawyer.
To date, Duran has remained adamant that she will stay in her office while fighting the 64-count criminal charges that Attorney General Hector Balderas filed against her in August. She is accused of taking using $13,000 in campaign contributions. The complaint also found that Duran withdrew more than $400,000 from her personal bank account at casinos since stepping into office in 2011.
If Duran resigns or is impeached before Jan. 26 of next year, that will kick off a special election for November 2016 to replace the remaining two years of her term.
But any impeachment, if it goes forward, will be a lengthy process. For that to happen, the special committee would make a recommendation to the full House. The House must then give a majority vote for impeachment.
Then, the state Senate would have to preside over an impeachment trial. At the end of trial, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to impeach in order to remove Duran from office.
The special committee is set to hold its first meeting Monday, Sept. 28 at 9:30 am at the State Capitol in Santa Fe. The agenda for that meeting hasn’t yet been written.

Accompanying a singer-songwriter requires an entirely different approach than playing with a band.
A good singer-instrumentalist will have plenty of experience accompanying his or herself as a soloist and will already be adept at creating a full, rhythmic sound with just his or her instrument. As an accompanying electric guitarist, your job is to add decorative color, rather than to fill the sonic space you'd normally be expected to take up in a full band.
In short, you need to figure out how to do more with less.
Here are five tips for playing with a singer-songwriter in a duo or intimate setting.
Play with space.
Whether accompanying an acoustic guitar, keyboard or even a bouzouki, it’s important to pick your spots. Rarely will it be necessary to play full chords; instead, look to utilize chord partials, double stops and arpeggios to help create atmosphere.
Listen for moments in a given song where you can fill an empty space by playing a melodic or rhythmic counterpoint figure, even if only for a single beat. For example, you can look to add fills or licks in between a singer’s vocal phrases, creating a call-and-response effect. This will not only make your guitar parts stand out, but more importantly, keep your singer happy because you're not stepping on his or her vocals.
Session guru Adam Levy is a master of using space in his playing. Check out his tasteful performance accompanying Norah Jones on "Come Away with Me."
Utilize the volume knob.
Like many guitarists, you might be accustomed to cranking your volume knob to 10 and leaving it there, but your guitar’s volume selector is actually one of the most effective tools you have at your disposal.
Playing in an intimate setting is all about dynamics, and getting comfortable subtlety changing volume is key. Just inching the knob a few degrees forward or back can have a huge effect on your loudness and tone and can greatly enhance the mood or emotion of a specific moment within a song.
Incorporating pedal steel-like volume swells into your accompaniment is another very effective means to adding a dynamic range to your playing. At first, it might take some practice to feel comfortable manipulating the knob while picking, but once you get a feel for it, it can become a great way to create an ear-catching, atmospheric effect.
Try playing in different registers.
If you’re performing with an acoustic guitarist or a pianist, he or she will likely be playing full-voiced chords in the mid to low register of their instrument. In this case, see if you can find lines in the guitar’s upper register to create a contrast between the two parts. With a singer holding down the low end and middle, you’re freed up to experiment playing in positions far up the neck that you would usually reserve for solos.
In contrast, if you’re playing with a higher-register instrument, say a ukulele or mandolin, it might be more effective to play lower parts or even mimic what a bass player might do.
Incorporate 6th interval voicings.
The most under-used intervals on the guitar are undoubtedly major and minor 6ths. What makes 6ths (which are essentially inverted 3rds), so effective is that they outline the harmony of a given chord in only two notes. 6ths are useful alternatives to full chord voices and have a wider, more open sound than 3rds or 5ths. Plus, not that many guitarists play 6ths, and learning them can give your playing a more distinctive sound.
You can practice learning 6ths by harmonizing the major scale on skipped strings (i.e. 1st and 3rd, 2nd and 4th) and outlining the stock major and minor barre chord shapes you already know. Once you have the pattern under your fingers, you’ll be able to quickly come up with tasty parts to fit just about any chord progression.
The legendary Steve Cropper is credited with popularizing many of the techniques we’ve covered. Check out his use of 6ths in the bridge of Otis Redding’s "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay."
This, of course, goes without saying, but actively listening to the musicians you’re playing with is the single most important part of playing in a group. When performing or practicing with just one or two other musicians in an intimate setting, the idiosyncrasies in everyone’s playing become amplified. This means there’s less room for error, but it also allows more opportunity to compliment each other’s playing by being aware of each person’s part.
For most singer-songwriters, the lyrics are the centerpiece of the song, and every aspect of the music should be in service of them. So beyond just being aware of what’s going on musically, see if you can pick up the mood of a song by listening to the lyrics and then mirror the emotional arc of the arrangement with your playing.

As the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 is not diminishing Photo London has decided, following extensive consultation with stakeholders, that the best way to create the outstanding platform we envisaged for their exhibitors is to move the October Fair online as part of the Fair's ongoing digital programme. Working with the online Fair partner Arts, Photo London aims to create a successful online event for exhibitors, collectors and partners.
Photo London will also continue working with Nikon and long term partners the FT and Arts Council England (ACE), to build on the success of Photo London Digital - an exciting platform that will support the online Fair and enrich the audience experience with a year-round programme of gallery support - talks, live events and magazine - via the Photo London Academy.
The online Fair and Photo London Digital will be an important bridge to the next physical edition of the Fair that will be...held at Somerset House between 13–16 May, with a VIP preview on 12 May. Applications for the sixth edition will be live in early September.
Further to the announcement that, as a consequence of the global health emergency, Photo London 2020 would be rescheduled to a date in the autumn, the Fair unveils the new dates and venue of its sixth edition.
Photo London 2020 will take place from 7–11 October at Gray's Inn Gardens, London, with a VIP preview on the evening of 6 October.
Gray's Inn Gardens is a historical site and one of the largest privately owned gardens in London. The Gardens are located close to Holborn Station and just a short journey from Somerset House and Frieze Art Fair, which will take place that same week in October.
Photo London hopes to return to Somerset House in 2021 and has decided to move its sixth edition to a new venue in agreement with the arts centre, which sadly is hosting another event that week.
The choice to use Gray's Inn Gardens was driven by Photo London's determination to find an equally iconic and well-placed location that would also allow staging a large-scale event in a controlled and safe way. The new site will see the Fair located on one level with a single entrance and exit. Thanks to this tightly monitored access, Photo London will take place safely, in respect of social distancing rules imposed by the government in response to the current global pandemic.
Michael Benson & Fariba Farshad, Founders of Photo London, commented: "When earlier this year, we took the inevitable decision to reschedule Photo London, we set ourselves the goal of delivering an alternative plan for this year's Fair no later than mid-May.
This has not been an easy task. However, we felt very strongly that we owed it to our exhibitors and the artists who have supported us over the past five years to try to find the best possible solution. So, with cautious optimism, we are delighted to be able to report that the sixth edition of Photo London will now take place between 7-11 October at a new location, Gray's Inn Gardens. As a private venue, the Gardens will allow us to achieve a far higher level of social distancing than would normally be possible. We are incredibly grateful to the Mayor of London's Office and the team at Somerset House who have been instrumental in helping us secure this outstanding new location.
Throughout this process, we have consulted widely with art world professionals and a host of other advisers. The message that kept coming back through these discussions is that, while no one is under any illusion about the challenges we face, we should hold fast to the idea of staging a Fair as soon as it could take place safely and successfully. From this point of view, it is encouraging to see auction houses, galleries and museums across Europe making their first tentative preparations for a resumption of activities."
Timothy Persons, founder and co-director of Persons Projects / Helsinki School, Berlin, commented: “Persons Projects/ Helsinki School is overwhelmed by the new opportunity Photo London now offers us with its new date, place and chance to be one of the first fairs to realistically welcome in the autumn season.”
Mirjam Cavegn, Founder of BILDHALLE, Zurich, commented: “Photo London is an important fair for us. We love the atmosphere, the quality of exhibitors and the team of the fair. No matter where and when the fair takes place, we will be there. We are so happy to be back in business and meet collectors on an international platform that we do not shy away from any effort. Let’s move forward and share our treasures with an international group of photography lovers.”
Photo London remains committed to celebrating the work of this year’s Master of Photography, Shirin Neshat, with a dedicated exhibition that will open during the week of the Fair and will run for three weeks.
While the Photo London team looks forward to a safe and strong 2020 edition in October, it has in the meantime pushed forward the launch of the Photo London Academy, with the support of Arts Council England. This free online resource acts as a virtual gateway into the lives of photographers around the world via different elements:
The Talks Archive, which gives access to the video recordings of the world-class panels and talks held at Photo London over the past five years, including conversations with Sebastiao Salgado, Hannah Starkey, Don McCullin, Liz Johnson Artur, Stephen Shore, Susan Meiselas, Vera Lutter, Miles Aldridge, Mary McCartney, Erik Madigan Heck and Juergen Teller. New talks are published daily, Monday to Friday.
Photo London's recently launched digital magazine. Each issue is built in the spirit of an artist's photo book and spotlights the creative processes and artworks of our selected guest contributors. The magazine focuses on personal anecdotes, stories and behind-the-scenes materials, typically those unseen on the main stage of physical art fairs and exhibitions. Issue 01 focuses on the 2018 Master of Photography, Edward Burtynsky. Following issues will be dedicated to leading UK conceptual photographer Clare Strand, Professor Sarah Kenderdine, a renowned expert in experimental museology, as well as the 2020 Master of Photography, Shirin Neshat.
* Photo London has announced that the sixth edition of the Fair, due to take place at Somerset House between 14–17 May, will be rescheduled to early autumn to safeguard public health. Photo London’s founders, Fariba Farshad and Michael Benson explained why this has been a very difficult decision to make.
‘For the past few weeks, we have been monitoring the gathering storm around the COVID-19 outbreak. Although it seemed for a while that we might be able to run the Fair as planned, the safety and well-being of our exhibitors, artists, staff, suppliers and visitors from around the world is paramount. We had a great edition in prospect, but this has now become an irrelevance in the face of public health and our responsibility to adhere to the latest government advice, as well as the logistical challenges of international travel. We have taken this decision because we simply must do all that we can to keep people safe. There is nothing more important than that.
No one quite knows when the virus will have run its course, and having weighed the opinions of various experts, we have decided to move the Fair to a date in the early autumn. To that end, we are in discussions with the team at Somerset House and we hope to make a more detailed announcement in the coming days about our plans for this sixth edition of the Fair.
In the meantime, we would urge everyone to stay safe and stay well. These are difficult and unprecedented times, but they will pass, and when they do, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Photo London.’
Photo London is delighted to announce the details of its sixth edition, which will feature a total of 109 exhibitors showing the best of international photography in the spectacular neoclassical architecture of Somerset House, where the term ‘photography’ was first coined by Sir John Hershel, the Astronomer Royal, in 1839. To date the Fair’s Curatorial Committee has confirmed 94 exhibitors from 22 countries and is carefully considering the last applicants who could further strengthen the Fair’s offer.
Michael Benson and Fariba Farshad Founders of Photo London said: ‘We are enormously grateful to our Curatorial Committee for urging us to take time and great care over the curation of this year’s Fair. This has paid dividends. The exhibitor list already has great strength and depth and it gets stronger by the day. We are also delighted to be able to champion the work of so many outstanding women photographers including, of course, our sixth Master of Photography, Shirin Neshat.’
This year, Photo London consolidates its commitment to showing the best historic and vintage photography together with a focus on future directions in photography. This is particularly evident in the development of an exciting group of young galleries, many of whom – such as Black Box Projects, Webber and MMX Gallery— have previously exhibited in the Discoveries section and will now exhibit for the first time in the main section of Photo London.
Roderick van der Lee, Director of Photo London, stated: ‘I am proud to see that this year’s expanded curatorial focus and close dialogue with exhibitors has resulted in such exceptionally strong and considered presentations. Booths exploring either the depth of a single theme, the boundaries of photographic process and material, or the scope of a single artist or time-frame are complimented by an increased institutional presence at the fair in the form of exhibitions and a professional curators symposium. All in all, I think the coming of age of photography is beautifully reflected in this year’s edition of Photo London.’
The exhibitors selection reflects Photo London’s strong curatorial focus and the Fair’s ultimate mission to promote excellence in photography.
Under the chairmanship of Philippe Garner, the Fair’s Curatorial Committee has played a crucial part in guiding conversations with exhibitors. This open dialogue with exhibitors has resulted in a series of strong themed booths, including Bastian (London) gallery’s presentation of Polaroid works from legendary artists Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly and cinematographer Wim Wenders; and Prahlad Bubbar’s (London) juxtaposition of unique 19th century with 21st century prints of architecture in India.
Several exhibitors feature artists who will also be presented in major London exhibitions this spring. They include Zanele Muholi at Autograph (London) who will feature in a major exhibition at Tate. Also, Karen Knorr at Sundaram Tagore Gallery (Singapore, NYC, Hong Kong) and Karlheinz Weinberger at Galerie Esther Woerdehoff (Paris) are among the group of photographers taking part in Barbican’s monumental Masculinities exhibition.
This year there is again a significant emphasis on solo presentations in both the Discovery section and the main section. In the main section, these include Miles Aldridge at Christophe Guye Galerie (Zurich); Todd Hido at Reflex Amsterdam; Delphine Diallo at Fisheye Gallery (Paris); Guido Guidi at Large Glass (London); Ralph Ziman at The Rendon Gallery (L.A.); Hsu Ching-Yuan at galerie_frédéric moisan (Paris) and Margaret Courtney-Clarke SMAC Gallery (Cape Town;Johannesburg; Stellenbosch). In the Discovery section solo presentations include Alastair Whitton at Black Box Publishing (Cape Town) and Sebastian Cramer at GUDBERG NERGER (Hamburg).
Photo London 2020 welcomes back many regular exhibitors to the main section, including Flowers Gallery (London, celebrating their 50th anniversary), Michael Hoppen Gallery (London), Galerie Johannes Faber (Vienna), Sundaram Tagore Gallery, Persons Projects (Berlin), Peter Fetterman Gallery (Santa Monica), Akio Nagasawa Gallery (Tokyo) and Robert Hershkowitz Ltd. (U.K.).
In addition, the Fair welcomes a strong selection of new and international exhibitors including Autograph, FLATLAND GALLERY (Amsterdam), Joerg Maass Kunsthandel (Berlin), Miyako Yoshinaga (New York), Nicholas Metivier (Toronto), Prahlad Bubbar, Richard Saltoun Gallery (London), Vision Neil Folberg Gallery (Jerusalem) and Gabriel Wickbold Gallery (São Paulo).
In the Discovery section, returning exhibitors such as EQUINOM Gallery (San Francisco), A.I. gallery (London), UP Gallery (Hsinchu, Taiwan) and Sid Motion Gallery (London) are joined by a number of exciting new young initiatives showcasing the next generation of artists who are working to push the boundaries of photography still further, including Szena Gallery (Moscow) showing Igor Samolet; Vanessa Vainio (London) showing the sculptural work of Josefina Nelimarkka; Versus Art Project (Istanbul); Galeria Aura (São Paulo) bringing Julia Milward, Paula Scamparini and Renato Custodio; and Galerie Zielinsky (Barcelona) showing works by João Farkas, Romy Pocztaruk, Leonardo Finotti.
As a new addition to the Discovery section, Photo London has created an informal space to meet and network within the fair. This year, the space will host the inaugural event of Photoworks’ (Brighton) 25th anniversary programme – a special exhibition celebrating Photoworks Annual magazine and interrogating the institution’s archive.
With exhibitors from Austria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and the U.S., Photo London retains its global perspective.
Master of Photography
Photo London is delighted to present the 2020 Master of Photography Award to the Iranian artist Shirin Neshat (b. 1957, Qazvin, Iran). The award is given annually to a leading contemporary photographer who is the subject of a special exhibition at the fair.
Over the past three decades, working across photography, video and cinema, Neshat has dedicated her practice to an understanding of the religious and political forces of power that have shaped Iranian and other Islamic cultures. Her art centers on the contrasts between Islam and the West, femininity and masculinity, public life and private life, antiquity and modernity, and bridging the spaces between these subjects.
At Photo London, Neshat presents for the first time in the UK the photographic series ‘The Home of My Eyes’ (2015), recently on view at The Broad in Los Angeles as part of the artist’s major retrospective. The 55 intimate, close-up portraits in this series represent a shift in Neshat’s practice, as they depart from works that focus primarily on her Iranian society and instead reflect on other cultures. Portraying the diverse people of Azerbaijan, the artist conceived of the series as “a portrait of a country that for so long has been a crossroads of many different ethnicities, religions, and languages.” Additionally, Neshat calligraphically inscribed the portraits, using the graphic element of the text – recurrent in her photographs – to report the subjects’ individual opinions on cultural identity and the concept of home.
The exhibition also includes the film ‘Roja’ (2015) where Neshat – employing a surrealist lens and nonlinear narrative – reflects on her own experience of living in the foreign culture of the United States, tracing an Iranian woman’s nostalgia for her homeland.
In addition, Neshat presents a site-specific photo installation, comprised of a collection of her unseen mood books, studies and finished photographs.
In a first for Photo London, the Master of Photography exhibition will be extended beyond the fair days until the 21st of June.
As part of the Photo London Talks Programme Shirin Neshat will be in conversation with Yasufumi Nakamori, Tate Modern's Senior Curator of International Photography, on Thursday, 14 May. The exhibition ‘Shirin Neshat: Land of Dreams’ is on view at Goodman Gallery, London, until 28 March.

Couples who are in very intense relationship pain can be carrying so much trauma with one another that any additional honesty will appear to be negative and harmful to the relationship. These couples face a curious paradox. On the one hand, they are experiencing the negative emotions of hurt, anger and rage and feel the need to express those emotions. But, on the other hand, the very expression of those emotions can further deteriorate the relationship. This is a classic double bind that requires a shift from the expression of negative emotions to a more positive frame of communication.
A framework for presenting negative emotions in a positive way breaks up the cycle of one partner expressing a negative feeling and then regretting the expression of that feeling because the other partner responds reactively in a rejecting and defensive fashion. The destructive communication cycle goes like this. [A] expresses a negative, painful emotion to [B]. [B] feels threatened and rejected by [A's] expression. [A] does not like [B's] reaction and regrets the expression of those emotions. [A] turns off, withdraws, numbs out and does not want to communicate anymore. [B] becomes hypersensitive to [A's] lack of love, distance and rejection. [B] looks for any sign of affection and encouragement for staying in the relationship. [A] reactivates the cycle by trying to communicate complaints again to [B]. [B] reacts in the same old way. Hence, the cycle gets perpetrated over and over again.
[A] can interrupt that negative interaction loop by prefacing negativity within a loving framework. Thus, [A] sets up a context in which [B] will not react in the usual, stereotypic fashion. [A] prefaces communication in a positive way by saying, "I'm really concerned about our relationships and I want to find ways to strengthen it. I care for you and the relationship and I don't want it to end. I want to make our life better together."
By framing the complaint (the negative emotion) in a positive way, the partner's predictable responses are short circuited. Stating concern about the relationship and the need to improve it, [A] communicates a positive concern for the welfare of the relationship. In essence, [A] is saying, "Don't worry - relax - I don't want to reject or be cold towards you. I want to be loving and affectionate, but I am having a difficult time being positive in a relationship when I am very angry and hurt by your behavior. I'm afraid to express my emotions because when you react to what I'm feeling and saying, your reactions are not what I want. Please don't respond in your usual way because you'll reinforce my silence and holding back of my feelings. I don't want to hurt you, I just need to express my feelings and have you listen. So, I'm requesting a dialogue that can create change for both of us. Now, how can we talk about building more trust and heal the wounds of the past? " [B] might respond with, "I could feel more trust in our relationship if you initiated more affection and conversation like this. I don't like having to be the one who always initiates communication and affection. I want a more equal relationship with you. Now can you respond to that without making excuses or maintaining your old position?"
The Need For Ventilation
If the discussion is framed in a positive way, then the initiating partner should make it very clear that he or she needs to ventilate a lot of thoughts and feelings that may seem unfriendly to the other partner. The initiating partner should suggest that the receiving partner should not take what is being said as anything personal. It could go like this, "I need to get some things off of my chest and I don't want you to take what I say as personal and against you. I just need to ventilate in order to get my negative feelings and thoughts out of the way, so that I can get to the real underlying feelings and issues. I just need you to hear me, observe and listen to what I am ventilating. After all, you are the most important person that I can go to in order to air out my grievances and get clear. Please do not react! Just observe and listen and I will get through this. I know that you want the both of us to get to the bottom of our problems. If you reject what I am telling you, I will feel rejected and will go away with even more negative emotions. Please, let me ventilate and I promise not to attack. Please give me a chance to get things off of my chest, so that both of us can feel better about our relationship. After all, whom else should I go to when I have negative feelings!?"
TIP: When one of you recognizes that the other partner is harboring negative feelings, you could invite your partner to a ventilation session with the above ground rules and positive reframing. In this way you show that you are concerned about your partner's emotional well-being and the health of the relationship. If you let your fear of your partner's negative feelings control you, you'll only reinforce your partner's dangerous suppression of feelings. This only adds to and perpetuates the cycle of conflict. I also suggest that you conduct periodic checks for negative feelings to see if anything has accumulated. You could say, "What's going on? Do you need to ventilate any feelings? Please feel free to express what's going on with you, without harming me!" With this approach, every invitation to express is done with permission. Learn how to express and receive safely and with the purpose of clarification and communication.
These expressions should be self owned: "I'm angry, I'm hurt because…," and not, "you did this and you did that…You S.O.B."
This strategy should not be attempted until both partners agree to the value of such an assignment. Any attempt to expressing painful emotions without the consent of the other partner should be avoided. Both parties should see the value of such an interaction. The expression of negative emotions should not be attempted unilaterally. The strategy must meet the criteria for mutual agreement. Otherwise, imposition of negative emotions will result in further conflict and could jeopardize the well-being of the relationship. If both parties are afraid of the potential result of such a communication, than a third party therapist should mediate the exchange. Safeguards need to be in place. We do not want a free for all, where both parties attack, counterattack and head for the hills.
Relationships that possess inequities in communication, affection and other areas, usually resist changing the dysfunctional status quo. The old abusive patterns are highly entrenched and reinforced in many subtle ways. Couples who are in extreme pain need enormous patience when attempting to change their system of relating. Each partner may not be aware of his/her contribution to maintaining the status quo. Stress in the relationship needs to be reduced. Too much negativity in a relationship stretches an already overloaded frustration tolerance level. This is best accomplished by positive reframing, remaining calm, and making efforts to move into a direction of recovery. Failure to reframe the negative into a full positive will eventually lead to relationship destruction.
I advise each partner to recognize and acknowledge how you reject the other partner’s opinions, perceptions and views of reality. This is a difficult task and will require getting used to. The ultimate goal is to make a commitment to remove all forms of rejection out of the relationship. This might require that you think before you open your mouth to reject and judge.

236: Losers In…Anything
A sixteen year old girl’s go-to song during the 2015 winter. She used to be able to relate to the song, weep tears of suffering and whatnot. Don’t listen to the song if it exacerbates your pain. But if it helps you deal with it, by all means, be my guest.
Both of us, the sixteen year old and seventeen year old, want the twenty year old you to be happy, and we hope you don’t need to come back to this post to find the song and cry over a broken heart, or broken…anything.

Empagliflozin is indicated for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
• as monotherapy when Metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance
• in addition to other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes
It is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended starting dose is 10 mg Empagliflozin once daily as monotherapy and add-on combination therapy with other medicinal products for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In patients tolerating Empagliflozin 10 mg once daily who have an eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and need tighter glycaemic control, the dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily. The recommended maximum daily dose is 25 mg.
When Empagliflozin is used in combination with a sulphonylurea or with insulin, a lower dose of the sulphonylurea or insulin may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia.
In patients with volume depletion, correcting this condition prior to initiation of Empagliflozin is recommended.
Patients with Renal Impairment: Assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiation of Empagliflozin and periodically thereafter. Empagliflozin should not be initiated in patients with an eGFR less than 45 ml/min/1.73 m2. No dose adjustment is needed in patients with an eGFR greater than or equal to 45 ml/min/1.73 m2. Empagliflozin should be discontinued if eGFR is persistently less than 45 ml/min/1.73 m2.
Hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment is required for patients with hepatic impairment. Empagliflozin exposure is increased in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Therapeutic experience in patients with severe hepatic impairment is limited and therefore not recommended for use in this population.
Empagliflozin tablets can be taken with or without food, swallowed whole with water. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers; however, a double dose should not be taken on the same day.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): Empagliflozin should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In patients where DKA is suspected or diagnosed, treatment with Empagliflozin should be discontinued immediately.
Hepatic injury: Cases of hepatic injury have been reported with Empagliflozin in clinical trials. A causal relationship between Empagliflozin and hepatic injury has not been established.
Risk for volume depletion: Based on the mode of action of SGLT-2 inhibitors, osmotic diuresis accompanying therapeutic glucosuria may lead to a modest decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, caution should be exercised in patients for whom an Empagliflozin-induced drop in blood pressure could pose a risk, such as patients with known cardiovascular disease, patients on anti-hypertensive therapy with a history of hypotension or patients aged 75 years and older. In case of conditions that may lead to fluid loss (e.g. gastrointestinal illness), careful monitoring of volume status and electrolytes is recommended for patients receiving Empagliflozin.
Urinary tract infections: Temporary interruption of Empagliflozin should be considered in patients with complicated urinary tract infections.
Fournier's gangrene: Fournier's gangrene is a rare but serious and potentially life-threatening event that requires urgent surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment. If Fournier's gangrene is suspected, Empagliflozin should be discontinued and prompt treatment (including antibiotics and surgical debridement) should be instituted.
Elderly: Patients aged 75 years and older may be at an increased risk of volume depletion. Special attention should be given to their volume intake in case of co-administered medicinal products which may lead to volume depletion (e.g. diuretics, ACE-inhibitors). Therapeutic experience in patients aged 85 years and older is limited. Initiation of Empagliflozin therapy in this population is not recommended.
Use in Pregnancy & Lactation
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Empagliflozin in pregnant women. Empagliflozin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known if Empagliflozin is excreted in human milk. It is not recommended when breast feeding.

The fellas from Ska Brewing Co. and Avery Brewing Co. have launched their Tour of Colorado.
On bicycle, the brewers will wind from Boulder to Durango over six days, conquering nine mountain passes in a 426-mile journey.
When they arrive on Friday, July 24, the brewers will release Wheelsucker Wheat Ale, a much-anticipated (by me, anyway) collaboration beer, at Ska HQ in Durango. (Specifics on that later this week).
Dave Thibodeau, co-founder and president of Ska, is blogging the trip over at Wheelsucking Brewers.
Each night of the tour, the bicycling brewers will stop at a brewery to raise money for charity and further the brewing brotherhood.
Soggy Coaster wishes the travelers well, and has high hopes for the beer. Stay tuned for more.

"Tuesday Morning" is a song recorded by The Pogues. It was released in 1993 as a single from their first post-Shane Macgowan album, Waiting for Herb . It was the band's last single to make the UK top 20, and the first single to feature Spider Stacy on vocals. The song itself was composed by Stacy. It reached Number 18 in the UK singles charts and also culminated in their last performance on Top of the Pops.

The Pogues were an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in Kings Cross, London in 1982, as "Pogue Mahone" – the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles. MacGowan left the band in 1991 owing to drinking problems, but the band continued – first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals – before breaking up in 1996. The Pogues re-formed in late 2001, and played regularly across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014. The group did not record any new material during this second incarnation.
Black Eyed Peas is an American musical group, consisting of rappers will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and J. Rey Soul.
