Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .
Apparently I got enough sleep last night and have had some time to think. Its been a while since I shared the tangled passages of my mind but here you go!
For years people have been lamenting that they wished “if only horses could talk”. And for an equal amount of time,I imagine, horses have been lamenting to themselves “if only people would listen”
One of my favorite things about horses and Appaloosas in particular is their style of communication. Straightforward no confusion, all you have to do is listen, pay attention, and be mindful of what you ask for. A horse is listening to everything, you say, you do, and even what you are thinking of or looking at. That is a master of communication!
They will give you exactly what you ask for even if that’s not what you thought asked for. So listen to them and be careful what you ask and how.
And there is nothing like an Appaloosa to humble you, they’re always paying attention, they’re always thinking. And if you put them in a tough spot they will help you out of it. But if you should choose to lash them for doing so they are perfectly happy to hand you your own ass.
Is it wrong to wish that people communicated so clearly?
Now the promised baby pictures! And also a lovely moment, Angela made it out to visit her Arse , after a long stretch of no travel!
Meet FV Sable Fascinator (Foxy ) 2020 model out of The Drama Queen and by Fern Valley Phoenix
In true equine fashion ( they are born looking for a place to off themselves. She got a little hung up already on day 2 of life. But she is a trooper and it looks like it is messier than serious. All cleaned up and back to being a baby. SO sweet and smart, she took her treatment without even batting an eye !
This has been on my mind and heart for some time , especially in these current circumstances with constant stress, fear and fatigue in our world. I shared this in jest (sort of ) a while back but seriously the added confusion has certainly upped the ante
"Pain is a human experience. It can
be uncomfortable, with the potential to be horrible. The commonly accepted
definition of pain from the International Association for the Study of Pain,
states that pain is “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, associated
with actual or potential tissue damage…” Since pain is an individual’s
experience, we should start any discussion of acute versus chronic pain with
the understanding that defining and describing pain in an adequate manner is
versus Chronic Pain:
Acute pain is of sudden onset and is usually the result of a clearly defined cause such
as an injury. Acute pain resolves
with the healing of its
underlying cause. Chronic pain persists for weeks or months and is usually associated with an
underlying condition, such as arthritis.
is this all about? I have had some conversations about chronic pain, and the
judgement, derision and lack of empathy around chronic pain conditions.
people that judge bad people?? Absolutely not, but it still feels bad.
is my effort to educate from the standpoint of someone who lives with chronic
pain, and has for many years.
thing to manage with pain for me has not been the pain itself, it has been the
fear, fear of judgement, of disbelief, of being told I was hysterical or that
it was all in my head. Also the fear and grief associated with loss of ability
motivate or paralyze, and fear can make pain worse.
Well when we feel safe, heard and understood when reporting our pain to
physician and or family we are calmer and less on alert, when we are heard and
when a doctor brushes off symptoms and states or acts like we are over
reporting or worse “drug seeking” fear, lack and a feeling of being unsafe
with friends, family and coworkers. An example of this is in my circle I was
once told after I explained my absence from a family work session (I had been
having a bone scan) “Oh there is something wrong with you??I thought it was just laziness”
about a gut punch!!!
already in pain, searching for answers and feeling very vulnerable I hear that someone
I trusted thinks I am a faker.
or may not have been what they meant, but it most assuredly what I heard.
So how do we help others in pain?
listen, we ask straightforward questions and we believe the individual, because
there is no place for judgement, and you have no way of knowing how one
person’s experience of pain manifests for them. Pain and our response to it is
very individual and how each of us experience it comes from a myriad of
variables, from trauma, fear, past experiences with this and other pain
symptoms and of course how heard and safe we feel.
How do we help ourselves?
That is a big question, finding balance, honestly reporting symptoms and listening for the answers as well. Doing the research so that we are able to ask reasonable questions.
Write it down , when we go to the doctor instead of allowing fear and confusion to rule, make a list of questions and concerns and take it with you.
How am I helping me? Check back to the Keeping the water cool , and others. I am not perfect or completely pain free, but I am managing well on my current protocol of supplements, essential oils and traditional supports with my specialists.
A lot here about pain for a horse blog, but I felt called to share it , and I believe my horse pals, understand this better than most .
Be well friends and stay safe!
And keep watching, we are late this year, but Reina is percolating a little hostage for us here at Fern Valley, she is due any day! A couple pics of her past releases

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved last week Sanofi Genzyme’s Xenpozyme “for intravenous infusion in pediatric and adult patients with Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD).”
ASMD is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disease that causes premature death. The disease is caused by the “lack of an enzyme needed to break down a complex lipid, called sphingomyelin, that accumulates in the liver, spleen, lung, and brain,” explains the FDA.
“Xenpozyme is an enzyme replacement therapy that helps reduce sphingomyelin accumulation,” FDA’s release notes.
“ASMD has a debilitating effect on people’s lives and there is a critical need to increase treatment options for patients who suffer from this rare disease,” said Christine Nguyen, M.D., Deputy Director of the Office of Rare Diseases, Pediatrics, Urologic and Reproductive Medicine in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
As per Sanofi’s press release, Xenpozyme (Olipudase alfa) is approved to treat symptoms that are not related to the central nervous system in patients with ASMD and is the “first therapy indicated specifically for the treatment of ASMD and currently the only approved treatment for this disease”.
According to the company, which is Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) member, “there are fewer than 120 patients diagnosed with ASMD in the U.S.” Furthermore, approximately two-thirds of these patients are pediatric.
As the FDA pointed out, the drug received “fast track, breakthrough therapy, and priority review designations” as well as orphan drug designation, “which provides incentives to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.”
Sanofi announced that Xenpozyme should be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks with the listed price of $7,142.00 per vial, noting that “actual patient out-of-pocket costs may be lower as the list price does not reflect insurance coverage, co-pay support for eligible patients, or financial assistance from patient support programs.”
The drug, as the company explains, is administered every two weeks and “its administration requires a dose escalation phase followed by a maintenance phase.”

Madeira: the perfect pick for a post-lockdown holiday
The world's best island (it's official!) — complete with year-round sunshine, breathtaking scenery, and a buzzing capital with hip neighbourhoods — is only a 4-hour flight away.
Madeira, a dot in the deep blue Atlantic, remains undiscovered by many. But with its relatively low risk and great UK flight connections, it should be at the top of anyone's 2020/2021 travel list.
We need to talk about COVID
Let's get straight to it — Madeira is doing well with its COVID-19 response. The island shut down at the beginning of the year, but has been steadily re-opening — with measures to keep infection rates low -- since July. Active cases sit well below 100.
Those looking for a last-minute holiday or to soak up some winter sun will need to adhere to these safety guidelines. But as long as you remain sensible, the island is yours to explore:
- Fill in an online health survey before travelling, then
- Provide proof of a negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) COVID-19 test result received within 72 hours prior to arrival in Madeira. If you bring this, you’ll be able to set off on public transport, dine in restaurants, and shop as soon as you leave the airport, or
- Take a free COVID-19 test on arrival in Funchal airport, then isolate while waiting for results (these are normally processed within 12 hours, so there's not long to wait), or
- Self-isolate for 14 days on arrival
Currently, the island is on the UK's travel corridor list, so travellers do not need to isolate once they return to the UK.
With that out of the way, here's what you can look forward to on your visit:
Putting the 'fun' in Funchal
Going to Madeira without going on a basket toboggan ride would be like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower -- it's one of the island's top tourist attractions. This thrilling activity dates from the 19th century, when local residents would use it to get from the village of Monte down to the city of Funchal.
Hop into a straw basket and feel the wind in your hair as two runners in traditional straw boater hats guide you on the exhilarating journey down from Monte to Livramento, while you hit speeds up to 30km.
Once you've made your descent, you'll find taxis at the bottom waiting to whisk you off to Madeira's capital. Funchal is home to the island's Old Town, or Zona Velha. Wander down the Rua Santa Maria, lined with over 200 painted doors, watch the world go by while eating tuna steak outside a pretty cafe, or pay a visit to a 60-year old hat factory.
Get back to nature
Having a year-round sunny climate makes Madeira a perfect destination for outdoor activities. Try canyoning down a rushing waterfall, spotting dolphins and whales dipping through the sparkling Atlantic, or kayaking the turquoise waters of Ponta de São Lourenço national park.
Although small, Madeira is almost 2000m high — ideal for mountain climbing and hiking. One of the main outdoor activities here is the levada walks. Levadas, which means "carry" in Portuguese, are waterways that carry water down the mountains. The maintenance paths alongside these waterways have developed into walking trails that criss-cross down the mountains and valleys, carving out scenic routes for hikes.
Bananas, brochettes, and bolo de caco
Forget boring sponge cake — Madeira's cuisine is rich in flavour and variety. Because of the year-round sun, the island is covered in banana trees. Be sure to try espada com banana (black scabbardfish made with Madeira bananas).
This is not to be confused with espetada, which is similar to a kebab or brochette. Large chunks of beef are rubbed in garlic and salt, then skewered onto a bay leaf stick.
Bolo de caco is a traditional Madeiran bread made with sweet potatoes that's usually served hot with garlic butter and a side of fried maize. Or try something sweeter -- perhaps a slice of the local bolo del mel, a dense, richly spiced honey cake topped with almonds.
One of the best restaurants to sample local cuisine is O Lagar, about a 15-minute taxi ride out from the city centre -- be sure to order some milho frito (fried corn) on the side of your meal. Or, if you prefer to go all out in style, try Il Gallo d'Orgo, "the Michelin-starred jewel in Funchal’s culinary crown" (Culture Trip). With two Michelin stars and views out to the ocean, the restaurant all but guarantees a memorable evening.
When it comes to drinking, if you fancy something a little different from the famous Madeira fortified wine, try a nikita cocktail — a combination of beer, juice, ice cream, and pineapple pieces. Or if you want to stick to traditions there's poncha, a distilled alcohol made with sugar cane juice and mixed with honey, sugar, and either orange or lemon juice. The bars along the Bay of Funchal serve these drinks, and many offer live music.
OK, I'm in. When should I go?
You're pretty much guaranteed sunshine whenever you go to Madeira, however the warmest time is between June and August, where temperatures reach a pleasant 25°C. If you fancy a winter break away from the UK's grey skies, temperatures still average 18°C in January and February -- in fact, Condé Nast has named Madeira one of the top European destinations for winter sun, and European Best Destinations voted Madeira the safest destination in Europe for a 2020 Christmas break.
If you travel in early May, you'll catch Madeira's annual flower festival — a must-see for plant lovers — the island showcases its spectacular blooms with a parade through Funchal. Late August to early September is Madeira's wine festival, where you can expect demonstrations of the wine-making process, performances by local music groups, and of course, plenty of tastings.
Want to say goodbye to 2020 in style? Madeira holds what may be the world's most impressive New Year's Eve fireworks. A mind-bogglingly choreographed display, lasting around eight minutes, is set off from locations all around the island and from several barges in the Atlantic. It will ruin you for fireworks anywhere else, ever.

Today, reporter Dan Haugen takes a look at how states are turning to financial incentives – rather than mandates – to encourage utilities to promote energy efficiency.
Utilities have no market incentive to convince people to use less of their product – in order to make more money, they have to keep building more power plants and transmission lines. In the long run, saving energy is more cost effective, so state regulators have come up with a variety of schemes to reward utilities for selling less power.
Minnesota’s new incentive structure helped Xcel Energy save 416 gigawatt hours of electricity last year – a record.
But what’s going on in other states?
Haugen recommends the Edison Foundation’s State Electric Efficiency Regulatory Frameworks report (PDF), which was just released in June. The report includes state-by-state summaries of the types of efficiency incentives that are being used.
It’s a little wonky, but now that you know the difference between a Revenue Decoupling Mechanism and a Lost Revenue Adjustment Mechanism, you should be able to sort it out

The rating agency said that the revision of the four banks’ outlook to stable follows the recent raising of Saudi Arabia’s sovereign rating to stable.
Wednesday 19, December 2018 BY KUDAKWASHE MUZORIWA
CI Ratings has revised the outlook rating of four Saudi-based lenders from negative to stable citing that their financial strength rating (FSR) is supported by very strong capitalisation metrics, good liquidity as well as sound asset quality despite some weakening and solid profitability at both the operating and net levels.
In a statement, the rating agency stated that the operating environment in the Kingdom remains a rating constraint for all banks, although the recent firmness in oil prices should provide some relief to government finances.
SABB was rated A and the bank is said to be benefiting from a credit culture which includes the use of many of the systems and controls of HSBC, which continues to support the bank through a long-standing technical services agreement.
CI also affirmed its A+ financial strength rating on Riyad Bank, Samba Financial Group and Banque Saudi Fransi, which are all supported by good asset quality and strong loan loss reserve as well as effective coverage ratios, strong liquidity, sound profitability and strong capital adequacy.
Additionally, Riyad Bank’ rating reflect the support the lender receive from its major shareholders, which are all semi-government agencies and the likelihood of official support for the fourth largest bank in the Kingdom.
While liquidity ratios of these lenders are average for the sector, their position is good by global standards and liquidity is not really an issue for any Saudi bank at present, added CI Ratings. CI expects SAMBA to maintain strong asset quality, high liquidity and rock-solid capitalisation.
Saudi Arabia plans to increase state spending by seven per cent next year in an effort to spur economic growth that has been hurt by low oil prices.

Updated 6 March
We reported on the suspension of Martyn Percy, the Dean of Christ Church Oxford, here.
Harriet Sherwood writes for The Observer this weekend that ‘Gossip and secrecy’ fuel Oxford row over suspended dean. Her article starts:
Prominent clergy linked to Oxford’s Christ Church cathedral are in revolt over a complaint against its dean which they say is “surrounded by secrecy and fuelled by gossip”.
In a row that has convulsed one of the university’s most venerable institutions, the Very Rev Martyn Percy, head of Christ Church – the college founded by Thomas Wolsey in 1546 – as well as dean of the cathedral, has been accused of “immoral, scandalous and disgraceful behaviour”. He has been suspended by the college’s governing body pending a tribunal led by a retired High Court judge later this year.
More than 30 honorary canons headed by Sue Booys, the chair of Oxford diocese house of clergy, wrote last week to Sir Andrew Smith, the former judge, to register concern about the handling of the complaint.
Their letter extolled the “dean’s personal integrity”, and criticised a “sad and cruel delay” before the college’s governing body publicly acknowledged that the unspecified charges against Percy did not relate to safeguarding issues. “The issues relating to this charge seem to be surrounded by secrecy and fuelled by gossip,” it said.
The article also states:
The college’s governing body wrote last month to alumni to say the dispute did not concern safeguarding, gender bias, access issues or the pay of academic staff: “We are not able to discuss the detailed basis of the complaint except to say that it relates to issues surrounding the dean’s own pay and how it is set.”

Mathura Umachandran is a classicist by training. Her work is committed to tracing the development of the methods and ideological forms of Classics in the post war Humanities and, thus, how Classics operates in contemporary culture in collaboration with systems of power. She wrote her dissertation in the department of Classics at Princeton University (2018) and comes to the Society for the Humanities after a post-doctoral position on the Anachronism and Antiquity project at the University of Oxford (2018–2019) and a Visiting Fellowship at the Institute of Classical Studies, London (2019–2020). She has recently co-edited a special issue on ‘Anachronism’ in Classical Receptions Journal (2020), in addition to articles on Iris Murdoch’s reception of Aeschylus, the conceptual history of ‘World Literature’, and public facing essays that addressed Classics as a racialized form of knowledge-making. At Cornell, Mathura will be working on her first book, ‘Critical Mythologies: Classical Reception and the Frankfurt School’, which explores how the first generation of Critical Theorists made turns to Greco-Roman myth, seeking intellectual resources beyond enlightened reason. ‘Critical Mythologies’ examines how Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse not only exploded the cultural value of antiquity itself by revising the concept of ‘myth’ in various ways, but also how they deployed specific narratives (the usual philosophical suspects Oedipus and Odysseus, as well as the less obvious candidates Narcissus and Orpheus) as openings for theorizing new political horizons of knowledge-making about the subject and her relations with the world.
Critical Mythologies: Classical Reception and the Frankfurt School
Critical Mythologies: Classical Reception and the Frankfurt School investigates the engagements with classical antiquity by some of the key thinkers of the first generation of the Frankfurt School. Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse turned to myth to critique the formations of late capitalist modernity. I want to understand what motivated these turns to myth by thinkers who claimed to be in the genealogy of the Enlightenment. The Aufklärung had formed a set of philosophical contradictions around the Greeks as both firmly fixed in the ancient past and the trans-historical guarantors of Western reason. The Frankfurt thinkers found that the instability of these contradictions was in part to blame for the extreme way in which irrationality forced itself to the surface in the twentieth century. Critical Mythologies therefore examines how the Frankfurt thinkers critically repurpose mythological figures of reason. I argue that, by using Odysseus (as the heroic figure of cunning), Prometheus (as the author of anthropocentric ingenuity) and Oedipus (as the figure of self reflexive), these thinkers interrogate modernity’s self-fashioning as supremely rational and the telos of progressive history. Within a framework of dialectical reception, Critical Mythologies argues that the Frankfurt thinkers’ turns to myth organize historical relationships of non-identity with antiquity to illuminate the political reflexes of classicism.

When we talk about martial self defense the immediate thought is that it is about fighting against another person.
But in reality, in ngo cho kun the first self defense that is being emphasized is protecting one self against internal threat, threat from bacteria, diseases, viruses and all kinds of germs that would be attacking our body system more often then ever.
The first thing we want to do in ngo cho kun is to learn how to stay healthy and the first area that we want to concentrate on is our internal organs. It is about keeping our internal organs beautiful and strong.
A healthy body will eventually allowed one to develop good martial skill that can be use to fight & defend against external threats.
This aspect has always been neglected by many martial schools, that is why in ngo cho kun the forms alone like sam chien which concentrate a lot on deep breathing and muscle tensioning is primarily to help develop our “qi” or internal strength that would help keep our internal organs healthy.
This principle has been the main focus of ngo cho kun for centuries and now many health clubs are cashing in on health conscious people by introducing all kinds of work outs that promised a healthy body the only difference between traditional ngo cho kun training and modern health clubs is that health clubs focuses on building a beautiful shape body neglecting the internal aspects and the external self defense areas.

USDCAD 4 Hour Trend Pauses Under Parity
Below we can see the USD/CAD developing a steady uptrend on a 4Hr chart. From its monthly low at .9841, the pair has steadily risen in the last week of trading. A new high was created yesterday at 1.0027, equating to a rise of 186 pips over four trading days. Since this high has remained in place for a day now, directional based traders may use shorter term graphs to spot entrys with this longer term directional bias.
Moving from the 4Hr and dropping down to a 30 minute graph, is know as multi time frame analysis. Using this technique it becomes apparent that our trend has temporarily come to a halt. Price now appears to be trading in a range between the 1.0027 high mentioned above and the September 7th low at .9987.
Having a clear line of support is advantageous to both range and trend traders. Both plans of action will have similar methodologies and stop placements. Trend traders may take this pullback as an opportunity to trade a strong trend on a swing up from support looking for a higher high. Range traders may employ the use of an oscillator such as CCI and look for price to return to resistance. Regardless of the method chosen, stops should be set under our standing support line.
Can’t decide what route to use? Range or Trend? A third method of trading this move employs using two lots combining both of the aforementioned methods. Target one for our first lot will look for a price target at resistance near 1.0025. If the first lot takes profit, lot two can then be moved to break even and begin looking for a higher high.
My preference is to buy two lots on the USD/CAD under parity but as close to .9987 as possible, on a CCI crossover. Stops should be set under support near .9970. First targets should look for the top of the range at 1.0025. Secondary targets should be placed at 1.0055 or better in the event of a breakout to higher highs.

Indian sports minister hopes to lift IOC ban
The morning after having the Indian Olympic Association suspended by the IOC because it failed to comply with the Olympic charter, Indian sports minister Jitendra Singh is prepared to do whatever he can to ensure that the ban is lifted and the country’s athletes can compete in the Games.
Singh told reporters Wednesday that he met with IOA officials earlier this week to warn them about the ban, and to have them amend their constitution to include government guidelines on age and tenure limitations for committee members.
“Today, instead of playing the blame game, the need is to have a future strategy,” Singh said. “I will once again talk to the IOC and write to them that let’s talk about solving this problem for the future of Indian sportspersons. The government will take every step and we are willing to mediate.”
The ban was announced Tuesday after the IOA allowed Lalit Bhanot, a sports official who had spent eleven months in custody for corruption charges stemming from the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, to run unopposed for secretary-general of the country’s Olympic Committee.
London marked the most successful Games in history for India, which won six medals including two silver and four bronze. India has won eleven medals in field hockey in Olympic history, including eight gold.

While the US continues to debate the option of creating a unisex bathroom that caters to transgender people, the Berlin justice ministry is on their way to opening up government building bathrooms for both genders in one.
Not a big deal, according to the ministry
An audit report by the Berlin justice ministry released recently concluded that it wouldn’t require a great deal of effort to convert bathrooms in administrative buildings to unisex facilities.
“The building scan showed that having toilets for all sexes in many places would be simple to implement,” said justice minister Dirk Behrendt, who is also responsible for anti-discrimination projects. The goal being to reduce discrimination felt by transgender or gender fluid individuals.
Politicians and activists such as Behrendt are doing what they can to make German bathrooms as inclusive as possible, using the example of a unisex toilet on airplanes. The conversion of each bathroom would cost around €500 maximum, in addition to changing the name on the signs.
The plan also suggests that this will be a medium- to long-term goal, which may include more family-friendly functions such as changing stations.
A far cry from the US legislature
These so called “bathroom bills” have been a heated topic across more than a dozen US states in this year alone. Most notably, North Carolina passed and then later repealed a measure that insisted individuals only use government restrooms that are designated to the gender on their birth certificates. This law was widely condemned by many LGBT organizations as well as corporations that operated in the state. Germany’s Deutsche Bank also froze expansion plans in North Carolina in response.
Going a step further…
Germany doesn’t plan to stop at bathrooms when it comes to gender identity rights. In 2016 they became the first European country to give parents the option to not choose a sex at birth, though that specifically applies to children born intersex (with both male and female characteristics).
This is essentially intended to relieve parents of the burden to choose the sex of their young child from birth. In this instance, the child can decide themselves which gender they more align with.
“Most intersex people realize over time that they want to live life more as a man or as a woman,” said Lucie Veith of the German Association of Intersex People.

You may only see it at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner — precious bone china plates with blue or red scenes of the English countryside, or those chalky blue-colored jasperware serving platters, tea cups. plates and bowls decorated with raised white reliefs of reclining Neoclassical figures.
From the banquet halls of British royalty to the dinner tables of American families, Wedgwood china has been a mainstay in homes around the world for over 250 years. The first mass produced and marketed pottery in the world, its name became synonymous with refinement and upward mobility.
But in the world of ceramicists and potters, its founder, Josiah Wedgwood, has long been a controversial figure.
"Manufacturing and business are like scarlet letters in ceramics," said Peter Pincus, a ceramicist and visiting professor of ceramics at the Rochester Institute of Technology. "Josiah Wedgwood was an enigmatic figure in the field of ceramics. Today, he's known for his manufacturing company that has survived the ages."
His first solo exhibition with Ferrin Contemporary in North Adams, "Peter Pincus: Channeling Josiah Wedgwood," will challenge today's perception of Wedgwood and his legacy, while also providing a contemporary perspective of those historical and important works.
"People have misconceptions about what that work is all about. People understand it in its current form — in plates and cups with very polite patterns," Pincus said. "At one point, Josiah Wedgwood said he wanted to be 'vase maker general to the universe.' He was pretty intense. His vision was to be the maker of this ceramic ware that had appeal to all different sorts of cultures and classes.
"He made decorative arts for the home for all class systems. He believed he could use the imagery on the surface to inform them. He made a teapot to be used by the middle class with imagery [showing] the upper class and how they would use the pot. It was sophisticated imagery. Now, of course, he's gone and there's a different vision — a watered-down post-studio world of ceramics."
The exhibition is part of a creative investigation into the Dwight and Lucille Beeson Wedgwood Collection at the Birmingham Museum of Art that began with a three-day residency at the Birmingham, Ala., institution in 2017.
A year prior, gallerist Leslie Ferrin was touring the Birmingham Museum, where she viewed the museum's Beeson Wedgwood and Buten Wedgwood collections — the largest collection of Wedgwood outside of England.
"She saw a lot of decorative work from 19th and 20th centuries. She felt there was a resemblance to my work in the color, architecture and structure. She started sending me images and texts of what she was seeing," he said.
Ferrin, in a phone conversation from Detroit, recalled the excitement with which she sent those initial texts and images.
"I'm so excited we have the opportunity to do this show," she said. "Today, we don't think of Wedgwood as anything other than cameos or fancy, high-society objects. But it was once so much more."
Pincus was intrigued by the concept of a residency at the museum that Ferrin began envisioning. Unbeknownst to her, Pincus was exploring the topic of Wedgwood's attempt to own the patent for Etruscan pottery with his class at RIT.
"Here was this 18th-century potter trying to take rights to 4th century B.C.E. Etruscan pottery. We were looking at 4th century B.C.E. pottery and reconsideration of it. We were talking about cultural appropriation," he said.
Ferrin arranged for the research grant that led to the three-day residency, which Pincus believed would only be scholarly in nature.
"In my proposal, I just wanted to look at the Etruscan pottery. I wanted to know why he had tried to get the copyright for this Etruscan pottery. I was trying to answer those questions. It was more of a teaching thing for me. I couldn't see it relating to my work," Pincus said.
But when he arrived at the museum, where series of Wedgwood jasperware, Etruscan, salt and-white stone vases, and more were available for him, things changed.
"It was a transformative experience to hold them; feel them and experience them. In the time period they were made, you have this person who, before 3D printers, was a 3D printer," he said. "It was ghostly to hold it. It didn't feel like you were holding something made in the 18th century or the 4th century BCE. It was something in between."
Pincus began questioning if the work was appropriated or reproductions of the utmost integrity. The residency led to research into Wedgwood and a quest to place his work more appropriately in the history of ceramics. He also presented lectures on the topic. And then he went into the studio.
"To better understand the work, I just had to make the work," Pincus said. "I began with the Etruscan pot, his primary source for one of his objects; a calyx krater — a traditional wine-holding vessel. I looked very closely at Josiah's reconsideration of that form, just trying to reproduce those objects; understanding what liberties I had and what things I had to stick to with the original source."
The end result is six new forms, cast from molds he created, and painted in the vibrant color palettes Pincus has come to be known for.
"He definitely challenged himself, " Ferrin said. "There were some crushing failures along the way. I said to him, 'Imagine what Josiah Wedgwood experienced. If you're channeling him, you were channeling his struggles as well. We have so much more control today than when Josiah was working.' Peter is definitely interpreting and reinterpreting this work.
"I'm really proud of him. It takes a lot of creative energy to develop this new work amidst his teaching and family responsibilities."
She added, "As a gallery, this is exactly what we love to do. We use the space as a deadline and hurdle for artist. The next step, we hope, is that collectors will appreciate where he is now. If they make acquisitions, he has funds to make the next series of work."
And Pincus has big plans — another trip to Birmingham for another round of research. A second residency has already been secured, Ferrin said.
"The first residency, I didn't really know what I was looking for," Pincus said. "Now, I know. I'm excited to get back to the museum, to dig specifically into ideas that were present in that work and make a pretty big body of work based on it."

Octomom. We all have opinions concerning Nadya Suleman. And I’ll be honest, my very first thought after hearing her story was, “Is this woman insane?! What about those poor kids?! How can anyone be so selfish! So irresponsible! So clueless!”
But then I stopped and really thought about the situation and though my initial opinions still stand, I’d like to challenge myself in breaking this down even further and giving it a fair analysis.
To kind of set the mood for what I’m talking about, watch the Momversation video below:
Vodpod videos no longer available.
I agree with Heather – I think we need to be very careful in how we judge this woman’s decision to carry eight babies to term. True, her decision was probably not the wisest course of action; true, given she already has six children at home and can not afford to take care of them, she shouldn’t have made the decision to have the other embryos implanted; true, her decision to have the octuplets will ultimately be a burden on tax payers, and we can’t help but judge her because it was very irresponsible. BUT the bottom line is, it was her choice to go ahead with the pregnancy and she still has the right to decide what she wants to do with her body and her offspring.
This is the line that pro-choicers have a huge problem with – obtaining the right to tell people what they can and can not do with their lives and bodies. Because if we ultimately cross that line, then where does it stop? For example: a woman already has four kids and society suddenly decides that she has enough, she’s not allowed to have anymore and let’s say she becomes pregnant again? Does society then have the right to swoop in and take that baby away from her because she’s over her allotted limit that society set for her? If we give society the right to make our decisions for us in one area, then chances are, society will end up having the right to make our decisions for us in ALL areas.
And that’s simply unacceptable, on any level and regardless of one’s beliefs. If you disagree, then put yourself into the woman’s shoes highlighted in the above example. Would you be willing to give up your baby because you didn’t follow society’s rules, or you broke them accidentally (because these things happen, it’s life)?
But on the other hand, what about these children? Where are their rights to grow up in a normal, secure environment? Where is their right to obtain the individualized attention necessary to build healthy personalities? And who is going to stand up for them and give them those rights? Especially when a few of the children have special needs? One woman can not possibly have the time, or the energy, to properly give these children what they need, it’s physically impossible. So … where can she get the help?
From society. From churches. From volunteers. From good samaritans. From government programs. Which are funded by taxpayers. So, in essence, WE will ultimately end up paying for Suleman’s selfish need to fill the void she has claimed she has in her life. She has WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY become a burden on society.
And yet, she hadn’t expected this to happen. Granted, she probably shouldn’t have put herself in this situation, given she already has six children, BUT she had other embryos available and she felt they had the right to life. Imagine her surprise when she found out all of them fertilized. How could she terminate her own children? Could you? I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to. It must be incredibly difficult to be put into a position where you get to decide who lives and who dies – I just can’t imagine what that must be like. It’s one thing to terminate a pregnancy because of a violent act, like rape, because the act was a violation, unwanted and certainly unplanned, but quite another situation to terminate a pregnancy when it was intentional!
And yet (see? I’m trying so hard to be fair here), someone is going to have to pay for these children. Miss Suleman is simply not in a position to do so, and will most likely not EVER be in a position to do so, unless she wins the lottery or something, WE will end up paying for these children through social programs.
Granted, social programs exist for situations like this – for unplanned (though technically, this was planned and something Suleman should have taken into consideration before making the decision to have the embryos implanted but that’s rather a moot point now, isn’t it), dire straits. I do not have any problem putting my money into social programs WHEN the people who use them NEED them, and use them as a springboard to get out of their dire strait and back into an independent livelihood. I DO have a problem with social programs when people are not only capable of getting out of their situation but CHOOSE not to!
And I think that’s why a lot of people are upset with Suleman, because realistically, she will never be in a situation where she can AFFORD these children on her own. Where does that leave her and her children? At the mercy of taxpayers – who are already buckling under the current economic situation as is. THAT is what angers people about this situation, we’re being forced to pay for this woman’s selfish actions, we simply do not have a choice, Suleman has not given us a choice and is taking advantage of the system in order to get what she wants. She chose to forfeit her personal responsibility so she could fill that void.
And while we’re on the subject of taxes, this statement from the video really angered me:
“Most of us aren’t thinking about where our money is going, are we?”
Precisely. Because people have been brainwashed into thinking that the government is simply going to take that money and why fight it? Grr. THAT’S how the government gets away with taking nearly 50% of our money from us because it’s a gradual process – a little this week, a bit more next week and OH look at the money I get back in April! Wooee! Which is peanuts compared to the money that was taken away from us, and put into programs for irresponsible people like Suleman, to begin with.
But this isn’t about taxes, it’s about Octomom (though ultimately, taxes is a by-product of Octomom).
Look, I’m not defending what she did. All I’m saying is, her situation? Is not as cut and dried as a lot of people think it is. There are a lot of moral and ethical issues here that simply can’t be tossed out because we’re shocked and repulsed by what she did. I certainly don’t have any answers.
One thing I can do though? Is pray those 14 children are cared for – one way or another.
Thanks for the thought-provoking topic, Momversation. I enjoy rational, articulate discussions like these. They challenge me to not be so quick to judge people or their situations.
Life is such a pretty shade of gray, isn’t it? 🙂

Student Debt Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Buy a Home in West Chester and Liberty Township!
Student loan debt may be at all-time highs, but that hasn’t deterred people from buying homes for sale in West Chester and Liberty Township! In fact, a recent report shows that nationally, 27 percent of all homebuyers have student loan debt. And first-time buyers? A whopping 40 percent have student loans to their name.
So, how do they do it? How do they keep making monthly loan installments while saving for a down payment or paying a mortgage on their West Chester or Liberty Township home? Here’s how today’s buyers are making it happen.
They’re choosing the right loan programs. For West Chester and Liberty Township homebuyers with student loan debt, an FHA loan can be a great option. And both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have made favorable changes to how student loan debt factors into the mortgage qualification. In other words, student loan debt isn’t weighted as heavily as, say, a hefty car payment or outstanding medical bills.
They’re getting gifts and co-borrowing. Many homebuyers are choosing to use gift money from family members to pay for the down payment on their new West Chester or Liberty Township home. Others are choosing to co-borrow with a significant other, roommate or family member to increase the income that qualifies toward the mortgage. Both of these help lower the costs of homebuying at the outset.
But a word of caution: if you’re going to co-borrow with someone, be sure you’re clear about who is paying what each month. If your co-borrower stops paying, you’re on the hook for the full balance.
They’re taking advantage of down payment assistance programs. Saving for a down payment is often the hardest part when you’re drowning in student loan debt. Fortunately, there are hundreds of down payment (and closing cost) assistance programs that can help cover these expenses and more. We always recommend talking to your mortgage broker about the different city, state and township-level programs that you may be eligible for. And don’t forget to talk to your employer! If you work for a larger company, they may have a down payment assistance program for you to take advantage of, too!
They’re working on their credit. As we’ve mentioned before, having a great credit score means getting a great mortgage rate – and a great mortgage rate makes West Chester and Liberty Township homes for sale that much more affordable. See, a lower mortgage rate can save you hundreds of dollars each month (and thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your loan!). Today’s homebuyers are boosting their credit scores by paying down their debts, avoiding late payments and watching their credit reports closely.
As they say, where there’s a will there’s a way! And today’s young buyers a proof of that. Student loan debt can be a challenge, but it isn’t necessarily a deal breaker. If you’re ready to start shopping for West Chester or Liberty Township homes for sale, give us a call. We’d be happy to answer any questions you have about buying a home while dealing with student loan debt.


Lawmakers plan to probe the Biden administration for what they call a failure to protect national security after a Chinese spy balloon flew over the US for several days before it was shot down on Saturday.
While there has yet to be an official announcement of the investigation, House Republicans are eager to take heat from the Biden administration for allowing a foreign adversary’s surveillance device to breach US airspace and let it remain there for days.
President Biden reportedly decided to shoot down the balloon on Wednesday, but the military waited to carry out those orders until it floated over the ocean. It is unclear why the US was convinced that it did not pose a security or safety threat in those days.
The incident inflamed already fraught tensions with China, and GOP lawmakers said it was another sign of US weakness in the face of growing threats from Beijing.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), said he was “deeply concerned about the Biden administration’s decision to allow a spy balloon to fly over the United States.”
“The White House must provide answers as to why they decided to allow a [Chinese Communist Party] spy balloon to fly over the United States and what damage to our national security has resulted from this decision,” he said it was stated in the Saturday announcement. “The United States must project strength to deter China — this failure is yet another example of the weakness of the Biden administration.”
HASC already is scheduled a hearing for Tuesday in the morning to hear witnesses from non-governmental organizations on “the urgent threat of the Chinese Communist Party to the national defense of the USA”.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also expressed concern that the Biden administration did not “take care” of the balloon before it became a “threat to national security.”
“I will demand answers and hold the administrator accountable for this shameful display of weakness,” McCaul it is stated in the announcement.
Rep. Joe Wilson (RS.C.), a member of the HASC, took it a step further, calling on Biden and Vice President Harris to resign.
“When there is a domestic attack, Biden and Harris will not be able to respond adequately,” Wilson tweeted.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) first detected the balloon north of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska on January 28. The U.S. military didn’t shoot it down at the time because “it wasn’t the time,” NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck told reporters Monday.
The Pentagon notified reporters of the balloon five days later, on February 2, after reports of sightings over Montana, home to one of three nuclear missile sites, raised concerns that China may have collected potentially compromising national security information.
While Democrats largely defended the Pentagon’s response, Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester said he “demands answers” from the Biden administration and announced he would hold a hearing as chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.
“I will bring people before my commission to get real answers about how this happened and how we can prevent it from ever happening again.” Tester said in a statement Friday.
Ian Johnson, senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, said there should be a “cooling off period” before any investigations, arguing the incident was a matter of national security that should not be used to score political points.
Johnson added that the Biden administration was in a “trap”: either wait, or shoot down the balloon over land and potentially injure people or damage structures on the ground, which would cause its own scandal.
“I don’t think there are any traitors in the Pentagon,” he said. “These allegations of an outrageous breach of our national security make no sense to me unless you’re accusing the Pentagon of gross incompetence, which I don’t think is the case.”
The Pentagon tracked the balloon, reportedly weighing about 200 pounds and the size of three school buses, as it floated smoothly toward the Atlantic Ocean, where it was shot down by a fighter jet off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday. Recovery operations to salvage equipment attached to the balloon are underway.
China calls the balloon a civilian weather research airship and has expressed anger that the US shot it out of the sky.
However, the Pentagon is confident it was a surveillance device, noting that they have seen spy balloons before, including in the Pacific near Hawaii and in other countries. Another spy balloon was spotted in Latin America.
The Biden administration said it took down the surveillance device as soon as it was safe to do so.
“Today’s deliberate and lawful action demonstrates that President Biden and his national security team will always put the safety and security of the American people first,” said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the Sunday statement“while effectively responding to [People’s Republic of China’s] an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.”
A senior defense official also said on Sunday that there was value in tracking the balloons and that they had “taken all necessary steps to protect against” the collection of sensitive information.
“We were able to study and examine the balloon and its equipment, which was valuable,” the official said, according to a Pentagon statement.
Several Republican senators have also called for an investigation, including Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-D.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, on Sunday called Biden’s response “dereliction of duty” for his delay in acknowledging the spy balloon in interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union”.
But the questions now go beyond just the Pentagon’s response to the Chinese spy bubble that has made headlines in recent days.
On Sunday, American officials confirmed The Trump administration was apparently unaware of three previous incidents in which Chinese balloons flew over the continental US under its watch.
Vanherck told reporters on Monday that intelligence analysts learned about the three balloon incursions only after the fact, which he called “a gap in domain awareness that we have to figure out.”
Johnson, of the Council on Foreign Relations, said the bigger question now should be why the Chinese are deploying surveillance balloons — and lawmakers should put politics aside to figure it out.
“There are so many questions that need to be answered, there are so many holes in the story, we’re just missing a lot of facts,” Johnson said. “In the Cold War, there were more bipartisan efforts at resolution and healing [threats] as a matter of national security, not as a way to score political points. The spirit of bipartisanship is missing.”

Are you or your child getting close to needing your own health insurance? Unsure of where to start? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed during the process of getting health insurance for the first time. There are ways to alleviate the stress and educate yourself in order to decide what health insurance plan is right for you.
When do I actually lose Coverage?
In most states, single individuals are able to stay on their parent’s health insurance plan until age 26. Some states, like New jersey, allow some dependent and unmarried adults to stay on their parent’s plan until age 31. It’s important to research the guidelines on a state to state basis.
Typically, individuals sign up for insurance plans with their state during open enrollment. Open enrollment varies from state to state, but for most it is November 1st to December 15th. However, turning 26 is what’s known as a “qualifying event” and allows you to enroll outside of the open enrollment period. If you don’t sign up in the allotted time, usually 30 days, you will have to wait until the next open enrollment period to sign up for an insurance plan.
You Snooze, You Lose
One of the most important things to know when it comes to applying for your own health insurance is to plan ahead. Individuals typically have a 1- to 2-month grace period to sign up for a new insurance plan after turning 26. The last thing you want to happen is to lose your coverage and then have to go for a period of time with no insurance at all.
In the months before turning 26, be proactive and reach out to your employer’s human resource department to learn what the steps are to enroll in their health insurance plan. This will give you time to sort through all the information and choose the right plan. If you are currently unemployed or your employer does not offer health insurance, start researching the marketplace health plans available.
Choosing a Plan
Once you reach out to your human resources department, they will most likely provide you with various health plans to choose from. Typically, if you are a healthy, young adult, you can sign up for the least expensive plan.
Keep in mind, the plan with the lowest premium, or price you pay per month, will probably have a higher deductible. The deductible is how much you have to pay before your insurance begins covering some or all of your medical expenses. When deciding which employer plan is best for you, consider your health as well as how much you can afford.
Your employer plan may also have additional coverage costs for dental and vision insurance. Check with your dentist and eye doctor what the cost is for an annual visit. If the cost is less than the dental and vison insurance costs, they may not be necessary coverage costs right now.
You’re Worth it
Although the cost of health insurance may seem like a major financial burden, it is much less expensive than going uninsured and having a medical emergency. Medical emergencies can happen to anyone and at any age. Out-of-pocket costs can be astronomical when you don’t have any insurance to fall back on.
A visit to the ER can cost anywhere from $150 to several thousand dollars depending on the severity of your injuries or illness. If critical care is needed, the expenses could be as high as $20,000. Pay for the insurance now, and you won’t be in financial trouble if you need serious medical attention later.
As you start your search for a new health plan, remember to stay informed and be proactive. There are many sources out there to help guide your search. If you start early and ask for help, you will be able to find the health insurance plan that’s right for you.

While working on this recipe, I aimed for cookies with a rich butter flavor, a heady scent of spices, and a tangy, slightly sweet glaze. Baking the glaze for a few minutes gives it an almost crackly texture in your mouth.–Caprial Pence and Melissa Carey
Glazed Orange-Spice Cookies Recipe
- Quick Glance
- 35 M
- 50 M
- Makes about 30 medium-size cookies
- For the cookies
- 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- For the glaze
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- A splash of vanilla
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- Make the cookies
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a sheet pan well and set aside.
- 2. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer and beat on high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl often, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
- 3. Add the cream of tartar, flour, zest, spices, and salt, and mix on low speed until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth.
- 4. Remove the dough from the mixer and form it into a ball. If it’s too soft to handle, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it firms up a bit. On a well-floured board, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut into shapes with the cookie cutters of your choice. Place on the prepared pan and bake 8 to 10 minutes.
- Glaze the cookies
- 5. Prepare the glaze by mixing the powered sugar, vanilla, and orange juice until smooth.
- 6. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately brush each one with a good amount of glaze, then place them back in the oven and bake until the glaze starts to crackle and the cookies are a golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove the cookies and let cool for about 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack or to paper towels and let cool completely.

These cookies are easy to make, packed with flavor, and taste fantastic. The dough came together easily and rolled out nicely. I did need to let mine sit in the refrigerator to firm up some, but it didn’t take long. Because I made these on a hot and humid day, I placed the remaining dough back in the fridge while the first batch baked to keep it from getting too soft. I started with a larger cookie cutter but changed to a smaller one after having difficulty spreading the glaze without tearing the cookies. Switching to a small cutter solved this problem. The cookie isn’t very sweet thanks to the spices, but it still satisfies your sweet tooth, and the flavor of the orange really came out after baking. While my youngest grandson didn’t care for the flavor of the dough or glaze separately, he loved the cookies. This is a recipe I’ll be making more often.

Stay Plugged in With 4-pin Peripheral Computer Power Connectors
Build a computer to suit your needs whether for work or for play. Peripheral power cables provide you the connections you need to operate each device.What is a 4-pin peripheral power connector?
These power connectors allow you to provide extra functionality to your computer and they add information to and retrieve information from it. They draw voltage from your power supply and send it to your motherboard. Some components attached with peripheral cables include the following:
- Input peripheral devices: This includes items such as a mouse or keyboard, image scanner, game controller, or webcam. Digital cameras and microphones also are peripheral devices.
- Output peripheral devices: Computer monitors, projectors, speakers, and printers are some that provide information from your computer.
- Input/output peripheral devices: Your 4-pin connectors often enable you to use USB drives, memory cards, hard disks, and other storage. This makes it possible for you to store and retrieve data, and it helps you transfer files from one device to another.
- CPU sockets: This is another type of input and output device that is responsible for communicating with all major motherboard components. The sockets are located on the underside of your CPU and attach to your board from there.
You have a variety of options for use of these power supply cords in different scenarios. This will help you make room inside your machine as you build your computer from scratch. The same is true when you upgrade or repair your computer.
- 90-degree right angle cords: These are adapters that usually change a male end to a female end or a female end to a male one. This will provide you with compatibility when building your own tower that you otherwise would not have.
- 4-pin Y splitters: This allows you to divide the voltage you want to use either from your power supply or a wall outlet. These Y cords often split into opposite genders and act as an adapter, and they also might change to an end with 6 or 15 pins for improved data transfer speeds.
- 4-pin to DC adapter: This provides you with versatility, because now you can plug in 12-volt electronic devices that normally you would plug into a wall outlet.
- AC/DC: Some are as long as 19-24 inches long. They allow you to draw power from a wall outlet for running a cooling fan, lighting, and other equipment. This could reduce the amount of voltage you would pull from your computer power supply and prevent system burnout.
When you look at a 4-pin power connector, you will notice that it has at least three different colors of wires. One combination of colors often used is two black, one yellow, and one red. They usually regulate voltage coming in and out of them and to a power supply or wall outlet and to your motherboard.

Wealth can be bad for your soul. That’s not just a hoary piece of folk wisdom; it’s a conclusion from serious social science, confirmed by statistical analysis and experiment. The affluent are, on average, less likely to exhibit empathy, less likely to respect norms and even laws, more likely to cheat, than those occupying lower rungs on the economic ladder.
And it’s obvious, even if we don’t have statistical confirmation, that extreme wealth can do extreme spiritual damage. Take someone whose personality might have been merely disagreeable under normal circumstances, and give him the kind of wealth that lets him surround himself with sycophants and usually get whatever he wants. It’s not hard to see how he could become almost pathologically self-regarding and unconcerned with others.
So what happens to a nation that gives ever-growing political power to the superrich?
Modern America is a society in which a growing share of income and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and these people have huge political influence — in the early stages of the 2016 presidential campaign, around half the contributions came from fewer than 200 wealthy families. The usual concern about this march toward oligarchy is that the interests and policy preferences of the very rich are quite different from those of the population at large, and that is surely the biggest problem.
But it’s also true that those empowered by money-driven politics include a disproportionate number of spoiled egomaniacs. Which brings me to the current election cycle. Read more…

Ajakirjareklaami tõlgendamine: visuaalsemiootika võimalused ja sihtrühmapoolne retseptsioon Stiina lugejate näitel
This bachelor’s thesis concentrates mainly on the reception of advertisements among the readers of the teen-magazine Stiina. The focus is set on two certain advertisements found in Stiina’s issues dating from the year 2006. The chosen advertisements are the representatives of two categories, made in the author’s seminar thesis: feminine and youthful advertisements. The former is represented in this thesis by Maybelline Water Shine lipstick ad and latter by Sportland sporting goods and clothing ad. The methods used in the thesis include social semiotic visual analysis and interviews with girls aged between 14 to 17, so they would fit in the age range of the target group defined by Stiina’s editorial board. In the course of making this thesis five interviews were carried out. The emphasis in this thesis is set on the comparison between the results found by using the visual semiotics approach as opposed to the actual reception of the target audience of these advertisements. The focus of the analysis on the interviews’ is on pointing out the similarities and differences between the two, as well as to highlight the more compelling aspects of the interviewed girl’s comments and beliefs. Taking into consideration the specific research questions set, the results were presented accordingly, following the logic of the sequence of these questions. Deriving from that firstly an overview of the interviewed was given, explaining their role as the readers of Stiina in their understanding. Secondly it was described whether the girls find advertisements to have an effect on people in general and whether they find themselves to be influenced by advertising. And thirdly the analysis depicted how the girls’ ideas concerning specific advertisements (Maybelline and Sportland) related to the potential traits of reception described in the semiotic analysis of the ads. Consequently many interesting traits of the readers’ reception emerged. The more significant among them included the manipulating essence of advertisements, the specifics of Stiinas audience and the advertisements the audience finds appealing.

From the PublisherThis masterful and wide-ranging exploration of an ‘ordinary’ city in the postsocialist world – an area which has been largely overlooked by theorists of modernity and postmodernity – brings important and unexpected insights into the nature of contemporary urbanism and the postmodern cultural condition more generally. Timely, interesting and extremely engaging, the book also stands out for its skilful and seamless integration of a wealth of detailed observation with a strongly theoretical approach.
—Ekaterina Makarova, University of Virginia
Drawing from deep personal insight as well as 100 interviews, Hirt describes a shift from “bland to brass,” sheds light upon privatism as a cultural condition, and reveals prospects for rejuvenating the public realm in the global context. This compelling and passionate account about why the post-wall world is so busy building walls fills a gaping hole in the literature on urbanism.
—Nan Ellin, University of Utah


Arsenal fans couldn't believe their eyes when Kai Havertz missed a gilt-edged chance to score against Fulham on Saturday.
Arsenal went into the third gameweek of the Premier League season six points from two games, but they went into half-time trailing 1-0 to Fulham.
Mikel Arteta's side fell behind to an Andreas Pereira goal after 56 seconds when Bukayo Saka played the Fulham attacker in with a sloppy pass.
Pereira still had a lot to do, and when he saw Aaron Ramsdale off his line he decided to try and chip the goalkeeper.
The Brazil international fluffed his chip, but his effort found the bottom corner as Ramsdale lost his balance struggling to get back into position.
Arsenal then looked sure to equalise when Saka did brilliantly to keep the ball in play at the far post, but Havertz - on the stretch - poked the ball back towards his teammate instead of into the empty goal.
Arsenal paid £65 million to sign Havertz from Chlelsea this summer, but so far fans have not been entirely convinced by the German.
The 24-year-old only scored nine goals in 47 games in all competitions for Chelsea last season, suggesting he is far from the prolific goalscorer Arsenal could really do with.
In an attempt to find a way back into the match, Arteta brought on Eddie Nketiah in place of Leandro Trossard at half-time.
Havertz's blushes were spared in the second half though as Saka and Nketiah both scored to put Arsenal ahead.
Saka cooly converted from the penalty spot in the 70th minute after Fabio Viera was fouled in the box, and two minutes later Nketiah converted Vieira's low cross to turn the game on its head.
Havertz was replaced by Vieira in the 56th minute when Fulham were still leading 1-0.Featured Image Credit: Twitter
