Visitor Question: Neighbors are claiming a property was sold to them without being told it had a family farm designation, and now they want to break the property apart to be sold. Shouldn't it have been revealed when being sold and therefore upheld?
Editors Respond: Well, yes, it should have been revealed somewhere. We are assuming you mean that the property in question is zoned for a family farm, since you submitted this as a zoning question. (If by chance you mean that it is deed restricted, that is a different question, but that too "should" have been revealed.)
In the ideal situation, the zoning would be revealed on the real estate listing, but that happens so rarely in the U.S. that it is a pretty laughable suggestion on our part.
Second best would be that the real estate agent showing the property to those who became your neighbors should have been clear about the current zoning classification, especially when the agent heard about your neighbors wanting to develop the land as a subdivision. In your part of the country, real estate agents should be quite alert to the possibility that buyers are thinking of selling for development.
However, a naive or slightly or mostly unethical real estate agent might have seen that he or she would make a lot more money if the price is inflated to a value compatible with subdivision development. A slightly less devious agent might simply have encouraged your neighbor to think it was as easy to change the zoning to residential as simply asking for it.
We are having to be slightly tentative in our language here because customs across the U.S., not to mention the rest of the world, really do vary quite widely about what degree of disclosure of zoning is customary, legal, and accepted as ethical real estate practice by other real estate professionals.
Other entities that touch the sale process should be checking to make sure the purchaser is realistic too. We give title companies and financial institutions some of the blame when buyers don't understand the full picture of their zoning and any deed restrictions on the property.
In the final analysis your neighbors may be telling you the complete truth when they say no one told them the property was zoned for family farms.
We maintain that it is the property buyer's responsibility to inquire into and learn about the restrictions of the applicable zoning district. But many property buyers don't understand that. And often prospective purchasers become so excited about what they want to do with the property that they forget to check what legal hurdles they may face.
So there is no need to become confrontational with your neighbors about what they believed when they bought the land. However, you have every right to object when they try to change the zoning, if that happens.

After the violent removal of protesters by police last Friday, May 23, new mining equipment has been brought into the site of the El Tambor mining project. On Saturday, protesters from the peaceful resistance of La Puya regrouped near their original position and a mass was held on Sunday to pray for those injured in the eviction. Photos of the eviction and march in solidarity with the movement can be found here.
Archbishop Óscar Vian deplored the absence of real dialogue regarding
mining and energy projects and called for the government to stop approving
projects before entering into the dialogue process with communities.
GHRC Executive Director Kelsey Alford-Jones was quoted in an article about the non-violent resistance at La Puya. Government officials have equated leaders of the resistance with criminals and terrorists, which Alford-Jones points out is reestablishing the “idea of the internal enemy” that was so present during the internal armed conflict.
Pending the investigation of their cases, a judge ordered the house arrest of four community leaders from La Puya who have been active in the peaceful resistance movement against the El Tambor mining project. The four community leaders, who have been accused of illegally detaining and threatening four mining workers from El Tambor in 2012, are scheduled to stand trial August 18th. The judge dismissed the case against a fifth leader of the peaceful resistance movement, Yolanda Oquelí, on the grounds of lack of evidence.
Protesters gathered on Friday in front of the Presidential House in disapproval of the government’s failure to sign a 2010 agreement that would grant reparations to the people affected by the Chixoy dam. President Molina denied compensation to victims on the claim that such payment would have to be authorized by Congress. According to Prensa Libre, those affected by the dam will reject any measure that does not comply with the 2010 plan and are considering asking countries to limit aid to Guatemala until the 2010 plan is carried out. The construction of the Chixoy dam has harmed 33 communities.
A meeting between the communities and the government has been scheduled for Monday, June 2. Photos of the protest can be found here.
The Guatemalan government announced that it will respond to the decisions of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding the mines that would affect the communities of Sipacapa and San Miguel Ixtahuacán, San Marcos. There are currently 79 petitions pending at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding Guatemala.
Many continue to fear that the strong prosecution of human rights violations, corruption and organized crime that occurred under former Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz will give way to a focus on minor offenses and street crime under new Attorney General Thelma Aldana. In addition, the discovery of Aldana’s close affiliation with the political party Guatemalan Republican Front (FRG), which is run by Ríos Montt’s daughter, is raising concerns that efforts to convict Montt for crimes of genocide will come to an end.


Banking outside the country still legal. For now.
By Michael Mealling
As April 15th approaches many of us are dealing with IRS tax forms. Some will have noticed the sections that ask if we have any bank or brokerage accounts in other countries. That is a result of the Foreign Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (FACTA). When many here in the US hear of someone having an “off-shore account” they instantly assume something nefarious is going on. But outside the US having money outside your country is the norm. Most of Europe's retirement accounts are in a country other than the one the person lives in. Everyone else in the world thinks we're a crazy police state for monitoring and taxing its citizens this way.
FACTA's reporting requirements on foriegn banks is onerous enough that many banks (Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, HSBC, ING Group and Credit Suisse) are closing US accounts and refusing new ones becaue they simply aren't worth the effort.
The result is that very few US citizens hold money outside the US and that number is shrinking. Economists suggest that while it doesn't constitute institutional capital controls, it is the functional equivalent of capital controls for individuals.
The operating assumption behind FACTA and the IRS's implementation of it in the courts is that the mere presence of a bank account outside the country with anything more than a few thousand dollars is probable cause for investigating and prosecuting. If that position stood up in court then the result is the functional equivalent to making it illegal for US citizens to have direct financial relationships with institutions outside the US.
Thankfully it didn't. While the rest of Jimmy Pflueger's life is a mess the Federal District Court of Hawaii did acquit him of all four counts of tax fraud. The court held that the mere presence of an off-shore account does not indicate that a crime has been committed.
But how long before it is? As the bureaucratic overhead increases and any tax and income advantages disappear (advantages the rest of the world enjoys), how long before it is illegal to have money overseas? That's China's policy, by the way. One result is that US citizens abroad are finding the overhead so high that it outweights any benefits of US citizenship. That's one reason citizenship renunciations are so high.
Is this really where we want to go?

Which bank's lagging?
National Australia Bank and ANZ Bank appear to have made the most ground in the hotly contested business banking sector, with gains coming at the expense of Commonwealth Bank, according to the latest monthly figures from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
NAB gained 0.1 of a percentage point, taking its market share to 19.7 per cent during September - after a sluggish performance during the previous five months - while ANZ jumped 0.4 points to 17.9 per cent, according to the nation's prudential regulator.
Commonwealth dropped 0.3 points to 11.7 per cent for the month.
In the six months to September, Westpac was top performer, expanding its business lending book by about 14 per cent compared with an industry average of some 7 per cent.
Monthly statistics have to be treated cautiously as bank policies such as securitisations, which can greatly affect a bank's monthly performance, are not incorporated in the data, creating an impression of volatility.
Commonwealth, which has been offering a range of discount products, was the fastest-growing mortgage lender for the September six months, with loans up 10.5 per cent, just behind Bendigo Bank's 11 per cent growth, according to APRA.
Investment bank ABN Amro warned that the surge in mortgage lending would harm Commonwealth's margins as it was forced to the more expensive wholesale markets to fund its lending.
"CBA's severe market share decline in deposits will only exacerbate this problem," the bank said.

Spices may get GI tag soon
Alleppey finger turmeric, Cochin ginger, Sikkim cardamom, Guntur Sanam chilli, Erode turmeric, Ramanadu Mundu chilli, Lakadong turmeric, Kanpur coriander etc are some of the important spices for which the Board will apply for GI registration. ���The Board is in the final stages of obtaining GI registration for Byadgi chilli,��� Spices Board chairman VJ Kurien told ET.
Spices Board has already taken GI registration for Malabar pepper, Alleppey green cardamom and Coorg green cardamom. Earlier, there were cases of pepper from Sri Lanka and Vietnam being sold as Malabar pepper in the international market. Alleppey green cardamom and Coorg cardamom is also mixed with Guatemalan cardamom and sold as Indian cardamom. The GI registration for these products would put an end to such practices, Board officials pointed out.
Apart from the unauthorised use of popular brand names, the GI registration will also offer a better price for growers, traders and exporters. ���The GI registration will have a positive impact on exports also,��� Mr Kurien said. ���In the international market, Malabar pepper is one of the most popular brand name,��� Mr Kurien added.
Spices Board officials point out that other agencies are also supplementing their efforts in getting GI registration for spices. The horticulture department of the government of Nagaland has applied for GI registration for Naga chilli. In Karnataka, the horticulture department is trying to get registration for some of the local chilli varieties.
Geographic Indication refers to the specific place or region of production of a product. The product may possess certain characteristics or qualities due to its association with that region. GI registration has already been taken for many commodities in the country including Darjeeling Tea.

PSRI hospital brings CO2 laser surgery to North India
Delhi: Now, damsels in distress can undergo CO2 laser laparoscopy in North India, thanks to PSRI hospital.
PSRI hospital is the first to use and introduce this technology for treating women and their diseases, such as tumor, bleeding and menstrual cramps, which is a very common problem.
The Minimally invasive Gynae Department in PSRI, headed by Dr. Rahul Manchanda, successfully performed its first such surgery in Delhi.
Dr. Manchanda, who is one of the only 5 gynaecologists all over India to use this technology, said: "The equipment is costly and a one-time investment and the cost is not being passed on to the patients. We are getting patients from countries abroad also for this now as it is yet not widely available abroad."
He added, "It has excellent results and can treat diseases like Endometriosis where generally bleeding is much more. Other diseases like fibroids, ovarian cysts, cancer can also be treated."
Laser has been previously used to treat prostate problems in men highly successfully, but this is the first time it is being used for the benefit of women.
This procedure, which is introduced through small incision and through a tube in order to treat and avoids large painful and unsightly scars, is much more precise, less traumatic, better healing, less postoperative pain and offer earlier recovery.

10 Smart, Simple Ways To Improve Your Metabolic Health
Improving metabolic health is not a niche health need. Seven out of eight Americans are metabolically unhealthy, which involves abnormal blood sugar, lipids, or inflammation (and can lead to a plethora of serious chronic diseases later on). Even people who appear healthy on the outside can have metabolic imbalance brewing on the inside.
The critical role of metabolic health in immune strength and overall well-being is not debatable. So, whether you're interested in bolstering your immune system during this pandemic or aiming to improve overall health for the long haul—here are 10 evidence-based lifestyle changes to focus on this winter and beyond:
Prioritize strength over weight loss.
Through exercise, nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress management, and other lifestyle and mindfulness strategies—focus on small changes over time that help you become stronger (e.g., metabolism, immunity, muscles, bones, mind, etc.), instead of simply losing weight.
Be physically active—often.
Stay smart about nutrition, and don't get distracted by fad diets.
Instead, emphasize color, smaller portions, plants, fiber, high-quality protein, healthy fats (especially omega-3s), slow carbs with a lower glycemic index, and spices. Slow down and savor healthy foods!
Prioritize sleep hygiene.
Maximize the quantity and quality of your rest. As a reminder, adults need at least seven hours of sleep each night.
Be intentional about stress management.
Reduce or remove sources of chronic stress whenever possible. Consider meditation, journaling, breathing exercises, counseling, and other stress-relieving tactics.
Watch out for vices.
Practice moderation and mindfulness with alcohol consumption. If tobacco use is in the mix, resolve to quit for good.
Find the right doctor for you.
Partner with a health care practitioner who understands the value of personalized lifestyle and functional medicine to support you in your metabolic health journey. Work with them to improve key markers of metabolic health over time: waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), LDL and HDL cholesterol, TG:HDL ratio, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), uric acid, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).
Lean on tech.
Even though this pandemic is isolating out of necessity, don't silo your health journey. Instead, find creative ways to embrace and enjoy lifestyle change and wellness with the support of family and friends.
The bottom line.
Americans are metabolically unhealthy in epidemic proportions. Thankfully, there are science-backed approaches that can be personalized to get our metabolic health back on track. From strengthening your immune system to reducing chronic disease risk, an improvement in metabolic health is one of the smartest investments in your overall well-being.

Aha! If you've been watching the excellent Knightmare series on TV and fancy yourself as a bit of an adventurer, this might just be your cup of tea. Instead of guiding a mate through the rooms of the Knightmare world, you take control of an imprisoned knight using a combination of joystick and keypress commands.
You're stuck in a dungeon and don't fancy making chalk marks on the wall for the rest of your life, so you put away your penknife and try to find a way to escape - without getting killed by spiders, monsters and pretty horrible things on the way. Every now and then, a creature sets a riddle: get the answer wrong and - minzaguiness, allacazam - you're dead. Nasty that.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Do you love making changes to your style frequently? Would you experiment with colours when it comes to contact lenses? It’s great if your answer is yes but do you think you really know all the proper steps when you are removing colour contact lenses and taking all other safety measures? Especially if you have just begun wearing contact lenses or are a first-timer, chances are that you may be completely unaware of all the care and safety measures of handling and removing contact lenses.
On the other hand, if you are a frequent contact lenses wearer, you must also keep updating yourself on the various steps and tips for handling contact lenses on the off-chance that you may be missing out on a few in the long run.
Read on to find out what steps to follow and when removing the coloured contacts and how to take care of them and follow other eye and lens safety tips.
3 Steps to Follow When Handling Your Contacts
What to do if you Can’t remove your contact lenses?
If you are having trouble removing your contacts, there is no need to panic. Practice taking out your lenses using the following tips till you get a hang of it.
Tip 1: Make an effort to slide the lens to the white area of your eye and then follow the step-by-step removal process from this part.
Tip 2: You can also try to pull the lens towards your lower eyelid so that it can help you lift it off the surface in case it’s a little stuck.
Tip 3: One of the reasons you may face difficulty in removing the lenses is that your eyes may be dry. Applying eye drops can ease the process of removing the lens from your eye.
Safety Tips for Coloured Contacts
Coloured contact lenses are quite popular globally and help enhance the beauty and build the confidence of many but wearing them requires a lot of care and safety precautions.
To keep your peepers in optimum condition, here are some safety tips that you must follow when wearing contact lenses.
Never sleep with your lens on. The supply of oxygen to the eyes is reduced when you are sleeping and the eye surface becomes vulnerable to infections. On top of that, all the germs that are on the lens would also spread in your eyes when they are slammed against your cornea.
All kinds of water bodies can cause eye infection because swimming pools, seawater, lakes, rivers, and even tap water are rampant with an organism known as acanthamoeba which is hazardous. Wearing contact lenses in water opens up the path for serious eye infections.
If you think you can save a little money by reusing the contact lens solution, you can’t be more wrong. It’s dangerous to reuse the solution because it’s disinfecting property evaporates after it is used.
Saline solution is sterile saltwater and doesn’t disinfect or clean your contact lenses. You must use a proper lens solution that disinfects and cleans the lenses.
Just like a toothbrush, you need to change your lens case every 60-90 days period as it gets dirty over time.
It may seem obvious, but it is pretty common to ignore the warning signs especially if you are busy or distracted. However, to avoid any infection or problem, take the coloured contacts out instantly.
The dirtiest place in your body is your mouth so it is pretty obvious to not use this disgusting method.
Safety When Wearing Contacts
You need to proactively implement safety measures when you opt to wear coloured contacts to keep your eyes protected. Regular cleaning and care are a must to prevent the contacts from being contaminated as it can directly affect your eyes.

Meet Emilie the berlin-based designer behind PAPESSE APPAREL, a brand of vibrant & genderless clothing with a focus on leggings. Using her skills as a graphic designer to create her collections, Emilie imagines each piece with a mood and state of mind, always operating sustainably. Dedicated to dressing up in joyful & comfortable clothes, Emilie wants people to feel empowered while wearing her pieces. It’s her own way to fight against gender stereotypes, and while doing so she also supports charities helping womxn victims of abuse. We spoke with Emilie to know more about her inspiring brand. Immerse yourself into the colorful world of PAPESSE APPAREL.
Hi Emilie! You recently launched your own clothing brand PAPESSE APPAREL with a focus on leggings. Tell us who and for whom is PAPESSE ? Hi Lætitia! Thank you for offering me this space to talk about my project! PAPESSE APPAREL is a Berlin-based brand dedicated to fun and comfort. I create bold and colourful genderless pieces with a focus on leggings. I see each of my designs as having a character, a story. I put a lot of love in the whole process, from the design to the production to the packaging. Papesse is, in French, the feminine form of the word pape (pope). It is now used in a secular way to refer to a womxn leader. It was created for a woman of legend born in the 9th century in Mainz. She didn’t want to bear the weight of patriarchy and wanted access to education, so she took on a male identity, in order to escape a bleak destiny. According to the legend, this woman’s path eventually led her all the way to the Vatican, where she became the first (secretly) female pope. Papesse is a word which encompasses determination, strength, confidence and audacity, as well as fighting against gender roles. PAPESSE APPAREL is for everyone who wishes to embody these qualities, be playful with their outfits, show their creative sides and consume ethically made products.
You told me that initially you were a graphic designer. Can you tell us a bit more about your journey in the fashion industry and how you decided to start a leggings brand? It all came up very naturally. I’ve been wearing almost exclusively leggings for a few years now, and at some point I wanted to find and wear specific designs which I had in mind and which didn’t exist. So I started to make them for myself. It happened that I had a lot of enjoyment doing this and then I started getting positive feedback from my surroundings, as well as people I was just crossing in the street. This was the spark that made me think that I should give it a go. I don’t see the creation of this business as a shift away from my graphic design path, it’s more like an evolution. I use my knowledge acquired as a graphic designer, as well as continually developing new skills. It’s a great feeling to keep learning and be able to adjust your activity according to new desires.
I love your motto “Dress comfy, YES. Dress boring, NO.”. Your clothes are quite colourful, not exactly the typical Berlin style which is usually…quite dark & uniform. What inspires you for your designs? Yeah it’s true that Berlin is infamous for its dark outfits, but believe it or not, I got into Berghain (which is known to be the temple of black clothing) whilst wearing one of my leggings! (It was HAPPY). Jokes aside, you see a lot of people wearing bold patterns and bright colours, there’s space for this kind of alternative. I find the « where does one’s inspiration come from » question quite tricky to answer in just a few sentences as it is a very complex process. I can’t answer in an absolute way, but about the designs I’ve released so far, I’ve created them thinking of moods and states of mind. Like when I am in this particular state of mind, what do I feel like surrounding myself with? And this is how I combine shapes and colours resulting in a range of combinations which go from something very soft and diffused to a more stiff and rigid image. It was like if I was creating a pop band with each member having a very defined personality. For the 2 designs I’ll be releasing next, I’ve chosen to pay homage to dating apps for which I have a big passion and fascination. But even with this topic which highlights many serious aspects of how our society is evolving, I’ve still chosen to tackle it from a playful angle.
I just find it weird to label a piece of garment as « made for women » or « made for men ». If you wear something and feel good in it, that’s it, it’s for you.
The clothes you create are genderless, why was that essential for you? Beyond fun and comfortable, it is very important to me to create genderless items. For me, making clothes which are not assigned to any specific gender is part of the fight against patriarchy, toxic-masculinity and is a tool to bend and question gender-roles. And on a personal level, I just find it weird to label a piece of garment as « made for women » or « made for men ». If you wear something and feel good in it, that’s it, it’s for you.
I want my business relationships to be as strong and trustworthy as my personal ones, otherwise I just wouldn’t go for it.
You put a lot of importance on where your products come from and where your clothes are produced. In an industry that is in many aspects unethical, how do you manage to pursue sustainable values and techniques? Yes it was indeed important to me to create sweatshop-free products. Also, I’ve been able to find a fabric which is composed of 85% recycled material. I spent a lot of time researching the best partners for me. I have done many tests all across Europe in order to source my partners. My conditions were: to produce in the EU and to reach a great level of quality. I use a lot of bright colours, in gradient or colour blocks, so the printing had to be top notch. I wanted to create durable clothing which doesn’t sag, doesn’t lose colour and has strong seams. On top of that, I endeavour to work with people with whom I get along. At the end of the day it’s also a human adventure. When I started this quest, I had no clue about how hard it would be to gather all these elements in a pair of leggings. But now I’ve developed a whole smooth process working with small factories in Latvia.
You created a matching set called FREEDOM. Tell us more about that collection and the inspiration behind it ? It all started with me meeting Julim Rosa, introduced by a common friend. As we were talking about how we were dealing with this endless craze and sharing some tips about how not to lose our minds, it very quickly became obvious that we should team up to make some leggings. The matching FREEDOM set was created as an answer to the daily frustrations and restrictions we are facing. We wanted to create something beautiful out of the shit waves we were going through and then be able to share it with the world. Something that feels liberating, strong and based on positive energy. Julim is a talented queer tattoo artist who puts her ink and soul into her creations and has created an exclusive design for PAPESSE APPAREL. I loved working with her as she’s not only a great professional but also a wonderful person. And this is the kind of bond I’m interested in. I want my business relationships to be as strong and trustworthy as my personal ones, otherwise I just wouldn’t go for it.
All my pieces have a little secret message written in the waistband. It’s just for you, to remind you that you’ve got this, to rock the day or to make you smile.
How do you want people to feel when wearing your leggings? Empowered! And I want people to have have fun wearing PAPESSE APPAREL clothing, embrace it as a statement piece, style them in their own way. I also want people to feel comfortable, able to move around, to run, to stretch, to dance, to bend, to show off or just to chill. All my pieces have a little secret message written in the waistband. It’s just for you, to remind you that you’ve got this, to rock the day or to make you smile. I also hope that when someone chooses to get an item produced by an ethical independent brand they also enjoy supporting freelancers and wearing something which hasn’t been produced in a sweatshop. Sometimes I’m told that my leggings look great, but that they are pricey compared to other leggings available on the market. Well, this is what happens when your products (not just clothing) are made ethically. If there were no more sweatshops, you couldn’t get T-shirts for 10€ anymore.
You have a collection of “scrunchies” aiming to help women victims of domestic violence. Tell us more about that initiative. I also wanted to use my brand as a platform for contributing to organisations who help womxn who are victims of abuse. So I’ve created scrunchies which match my leggings. They are made pro-bono and the profits go to the Berlin-based association Papatya which helps womxn who are victims of forced marriage as well as LGBTQ+ people who are threatened by their families because of who they are. So when you get one, not only do you look fabulous from head to toe, but you give to a great cause. In the future, I would love to be able to create more projects like this one.
What has been the most challenging for you since you started your project? I was ready to launch my business right at the beginning of the pandemic, which was a massive bummer. Of course what has been the most challenging so far is this strange period of time. It makes everything harder. Even something like organising a simple product shoot becomes a complicated thing. The pandemic is the reason why I’m in so many of my pictures! So yeah, the hardest part since I’ve started the project is definitely the lockdowns, not being able to easily meet people, organise events…
The pandemic has severely affected the fashion world, how do you cope with this strange situation? Well, as I said, I launched my brand at the beginning of the pandemic and didn’t have much contact with the fashion world before. So I can’t really say that I’m adapting, but rather that everything that I learn and do is coloured by the pandemic.
What’s next for you and what are you looking forward to? Of course, like everyone, I’m looking forward to the end of the pandemic! And to be able to meet IRL again, for the stores to re-open, to organise meetings and fun events… Apart from the end of the pandemic, I’m also looking forward to developing more projects like the scrunchies one. I also loved doing the collab, this is also something I would love to do again.
I also hope that when someone chooses to get an item produced by an ethical independent brand they also enjoy supporting freelancers and wearing something which hasn’t been produced in a sweatshop.

Please note! We added another concert for Wigwam Experience on 19.12. at 21.
In December we get to enjoy the music of the Finnish progressive rock pioneer Wigwam provided by Wigwam Experience! Founded in Helsinki in 1968, Wigwam was one of the most important names in Finnish rock in the 1970s. The band also received international acclaim and has retained its popularity and legendary reputation ever since.
Wigwam Experience is an impressive mixture of songs from Wigwam’s different seasons. The band consists of Jukka Gustavson who joined the band in the summer 1969 and played a pivotal role on the band’s first four studio albums, plus guitarist Pekka “Rekku” Rechardt who was part of “new Wigwam” born in 1974. They are accompanied by keyboardist Esa Kotilainen who already played on some of Wigwam’s classic recordings, bassist Janne Brunberg who played with Wigwam Revisited as a guest musician and has for example played in the band of Rauli “Badding” Somerjoki, and drummer Jan Noponen who joined Wigwam during the 1991 reunion.


Machine engineering, automation, industrial robots: this is the order in which robots have established themselves in modern mechanical engineering. At Fill, the first robot was integrated into a system way back in 1996. The Upper Austrian machine engineering experts are pioneers in this field. According to records, some 1,250 robots of all types, sizes and makes have been installed in a wide variety of production systems at Fill over the past 25 years.
A few months ago, the world´s biggest series robot, the FANUC M2000IA/2300, was delivered to Fill´s headquarters in Gurten. The giant robot has a load capacity of 2.3 metric tons and has been specially designed to handle even the heaviest loads. With its extra-strong wrist, it can easily lift entire vehicles or bulky castings onto the processing facilities.
At the other end of the scale is the FANUC CRX-10IA. With a net weight of just 40 kg and a payload of 10 kg, it is one of the smallest industrial robots in the world. It will be used at Fill from mid-April. The lightweight robot is part of the family of collaborative robots, also called ´cobots´. This is the term used for industrial robots that work together with humans and don´t have to be separated from them with protective equipment during the production process. Thanks to their own sensors, collaborative robots cannot cause any injuries to their human colleagues. As soon as they touch an obstacle, they switch off. This makes the Fanuc CRX-10iA predestined for use in the Fill Future Lab, where young people can gain their first experience of working with a cobot in the Team Challenge.

Trauma and Memory in The Tale, Part One
This week, Dan is joined by Cathy Loerzel, Executive Vice President, for a conversation about The Tale—a beautiful, harrowing new film by Jennifer Fox about childhood sexual abuse. Cathy shares how she stumbled on the movie on HBO this summer and immediately started alerting our team about it; Dan recalls that it was less of a recommendation than a command: “You need to watch this film.”
Cathy: “It was one of the most excruciating, troubling, confirming films that I have ever seen in terms of the work that we do here at The Allender Center.”
Dan: “I had to take three Tums just to get through the sense of nausea and heartbreak. It is a stunning film. For anyone who has addressed, is addressing, is working with the issues of trauma and abuse, this is a must-see film.”
So few people are talking about the reality of childhood sexual abuse.
While The Tale is intense, devastating, and potentially triggering for abuse survivors, Cathy and Dan stress that it is not gratuitous. With great insight and creativity, it tells the story of what happens in childhood sexual abuse and wrestles with how that story continues to unfold in adulthood. Dan and Cathy discuss how many of the dynamics that emerge in the film—like the grooming, ambivalence, and family of origin realities that mark stories of abuse—bring to life much of the theory that we engage at The Allender Center.
Cathy: “A lot of the work that we do is taking bits of memory and creating the movie around it, bringing a black and white description into color and putting a fabric around it, putting texture around it, putting smells and even the scenery around it in a different way that allows people to step into abuse memories in a different sort of way. That’s what Jennifer Fox is doing in this movie.”
The narrative structure of The Tale, crafted with such clear thoughtfulness and care, is a reflection of the fragmentation that marks stories of trauma. It wrestles with deep questions about memory, truth, intention, and so much more—without offering quick or easy answers. Instead, it pulls you into the fragmentation of memory and the horror of the truth.
Dan: “In the process, you’re going to discover that her memory is present, but it’s past. It’s fragmented, it’s distorted, it’s accurate, inaccurate. And the past speaks to the future. The 13-year-old girl interacts with the adult woman, just as we already know that memory is never a kind of verbatim story or narrative. It’s fragmented. […] It’s brilliant how she tells the story, and yet you have to enter her fragmentation to be able to follow the story, which can’t be followed.”
Cathy and Dan discuss other aspects of the film that reflect its brilliance: the seductive allure of the abusers, the awareness that abuse never occurs in a vacuum, the cunning nature of evil, and the way abuse fosters a war with our desire for connection. All of this is so crucial to engaging our stories with the hope of healing, and we are deeply grateful for—and awed by—Jennifer Fox for sharing this story. Join us next week as Dan and Cathy continue this conversation. And if you’re able to do so in a way that feels honoring to your own story, we do recommend watching The Tale (available on HBO or Amazon) before our next episode.
Dan: “You will find it a resource for honor and grief. It will help you honor and engage the story of others with far more sensitivity. And if it’s part of your own story, even though there are things that will be radically different, I believe that it will give you new grief. I felt new grief, and yet new honor about the great privilege that we have to be part of a community that addresses trauma and abuse.”

Rain is a great time to shoot street photography. I am hoping to start up providing group and private street photography workshops some time soon.
This photo was taken during a workshop in Hell’s Kitchen before the Coronavirus pandemic. I’m looking forward to starting up workshops and tours soon.
I miss Coney Island and I am looking forward to the day when I can go back there. This photo was taken during a private street photography workshop there in February 2020.
Leopard skin and umbrellas are both visually attractive in a photo.

Yes, of course it’s all different now. It could take some getting used to. This photo was taken in December 2019 during a private street photography workshop. I am looking forward to the day when they can resume. Be safe.
I took this photo on 14 March 2020. It was my last street photography workshop before the isolate in place orders were put into place. I look forward to the day when we can go back and shoot on the streets and I am happy that so many people are purchasing gift certificates for when that day arrives.


US Slaps $55 Million Fine on National Bank of Pakistan
Two U.S. government agencies made the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) pay a total of US$55 million in fines for repeatedly violating anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The bank must also improve compliance at its branch in New York City.
The bank agreed to the penalties with the U.S. Federal Reserve and the New York State Department of Financial Services and plans to improve its anti-money laundering practices.
The Federal Reserve Board announced a $20.4 million penalty for anti-money laundering violations and the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) issued a $35 million fine for failing to maintain effective AML procedures.
In the recent NYSDFS consent order, the agency said it had conducted its annual supervisory reviews in 2014 and 2015 and found that the branch did not have a comprehensive compliance program addressing proper AML and BSA practices.
It had major issues with the transaction monitoring system, weak internal controls, and serious shortcomings in management oversight, the document said.
Then in March 2016, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and NYSDFS had highlighted significant deficiencies in the branch’s risk management and compliance with federal regulation. A written agreement had been made between NYSDFS and the National Bank of Pakistan that the existing deficiencies in the bank’s compliance will be corrected.
However, a recent examination of the bank’s performance in adjusting the deficiencies showed that full compliance had still not been achieved since the written agreement.
A separate press release from NYDFS said that senior management from the foreign branch was unwilling or unable to promote adequate compliance practices even after the written agreement in 2016 had been signed.
“The National Bank of Pakistan allowed serious compliance deficiencies in its New York branch to persist for years despite repeated regulatory warnings,” said Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris from NYSDFS.
The Federal Reserve Board has obliged the bank to submit within the next 60 days a newly revised anti-money laundering compliance program that will address the current deficiencies, including comprehensive risk assessment, branch management, and proper training.
The NYDFS press release acknowledges that officials from the National Bank of Pakistan have demonstrated full cooperation with the ongoing investigation.

As you know, Bitcoin Magazine is the oldest media outlet in the entire cryptocurrency industry, dating back to its launch in 2012 (eons ago in Bitcoin time).

More than anything, Bitcoin Magazine has been a resource and voice for the Bitcoin community at large.

I can promise it will be worth the wait.
What does this mean for you? (Read on for good things.)

The indigenous Kaurna people knew this area as piraldi from pira (meaning moon, or shaven or bald) and ldi (meaning beyond).
Parts of the present-day suburb were previously known as Alta Cresta, Alta Mira, Belair Park, Blackwood Park, Crest Alta, Monalta Park, Nunyara, and Sleeps Hill.
Opinions differ as to the origin of the name Belair. One account has it that the name originates from 1849, after Eugene Bellairs, a Government surveyor who lived in the area.
Another account is that the suburb was named by Gustav Ludewigs and his wife Maria, who was born at Bel Air on the French-held island of Martinique (West Indies). The Ludewigs arrived in South Australia in 1849, and leased land in the area from 1855.

Gorilly Goods Rebranding + Packaging Redesign
Gorilly Goods produces three flavors of USDA certified organic snacks – Original, Chocolate, and Savory. Created with a mix of raw fruit, nut, and seed ingredients, their products increase in popularity as the healthy snack category continues to grow. Despite being delicious and nutrient-dense, the branding and packaging was a complete disconnect with their target audience. The brand aesthetics and packaging were child-like and didn’t reflect the high-quality, healthy, organic snack inside. B+L stepped in and completely retooled both the Gorilly Goods brand and packaging.
- Develop a brand that appeals to our target audience through the B+L BrandALIVE™ process
- Develop new packaging, utilizing the new branding
After a BrandALIVE™ workshop to gather information about the products and brand, B+L was able to drill down and uncover everything that is core to the Gorilly brand. From this information we developed a core user, core values, core benefits, core identity, a brand persona, and brand promise. Next, we developed a color palette using earth-tone colors, much like the colors that are seen within the product’s ingredients. After finalizing these elements, B+L went through a full redesign of the Gorilly Good’s packaging line, capturing new photography to showcase the product.

Picks and Pans Review: January Sun
updated 06/18/1990 AT 01:00 AM EDT
•originally published 06/18/1990 AT 01:00 AM EDT
Subtitled One Day, Three Lives, a South African Town, Stengel's book is a documentary study of apartheid, engrossing and novelistic in tone. The town is Brits, a farming community in the Transvaal, an hour's drive from Pretoria. The lives are those of black taxi driver Marshall Buys, known as Life; white Afrikaner Ronald de la Rey, a successful veterinarian; and Jaiprakash (Jai) Bhula, a young Indian shopkeeper.
Since South African law mandates residential areas by race—white, black, Coloured ("mixed race"), Indian/Asian—Life resides in Oukasie, the black township of north Brits, de la Rey in the white area to the south, Jai Bhula in Primindia, the Indian district. Stengel follows the men—at work, at play, with friends and family—for one ordinary day. They never meet, but their lives are inevitably linked—by their homeland's history, by the turbulent forces reshaping South Africa, by the demands of the outside world.
This is apartheid away from headlines, angry crowds and phalanxes of armed policemen. Stengel's three men are everyday civilians whose voices reveal South Africa in different ways. De la Rey, fearing for the future of the white minority—"Perhaps we are an endangered species, eh?"—extrapolates from his experience as a cattle eugenicist: "There are two basic groups of cattle.... If you're crossbreeding between these two main groups, you don't get what we call hybrid vigor.... You don't get improvement with black and white."
And here is Life, joining black friends to view a government-banned film on the then still imprisoned Nelson Mandela: "But you know we have always lived in a state of apprehensiveness.... The white man forces us to live in a certain way and then tells the world, 'look at the way they live.' "
Jai Bhula muses upon the creators of apartheid: "The Afrikaner is a strange race. There is some intangible, undefinable quality that they all seem to have. Skelm—it's a kind of dull-witted shrewdness.... If they really believed they were better, would it be necessary to create laws guaranteeing social, monetary, and political superiority?"
This is Stengel's first book, a strong debut by an ex-Rhodes scholar who is a TIME contributor. If January Sun lacks a novel's dramatic tension, within the confines of its journalism we meet likable, fully formed characters. Stengel's afterword provides a grim update on one of the principals, and the news comes like a stab to the heart. (Simon and Schuster, $19.95)

A “traditional banker” who first came to Harrogate more than three decades ago has taken over the presidency of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce.
Martin Gerrard, a Senior Premier Relationship Manager based at Barclays James Street branch, was elected to the position by fellow chamber members at the organisation’s first ever online Annual General Meeting.
He takes over the coveted two-year role from Steve Scarre, who stood down in July after an extended period, due to the coronavirus pandemic forcing the postponement of the AGM from May to the end of last month.
Martin, who describes himself as a “traditional banker”, was named Harrogate Business Personality of the Year in 2018. He first joined Barclays in 1973 and in a career spanning more than 45 years, has worked in a number of different departments, including operations, lending, foreign and securities, as well as in specialist roles.
In 1978, he became the bank’s first Student Business Officer, and, four years later, relocated to God’s own county after securing a position as Head of Securities in Skipton.
Martin has twice been Chairman of Round Table and has served on numerous local and regional charities, including in the role of trustee.
Sandra Doherty, Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, said: “Martin is one of the most familiar businesses faces in Harrogate and we are delighted that he has become our President.
“He is a very popular and long-serving Chamber member, and for a number of years has played his part on the management committee.
“On behalf of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, I would like to say a big thank you to outgoing President, Steve Scarre, who has been a superb ambassador and figure head.
“I’m now looking forward to working alongside Martin and the management committee, in taking the Chamber to the next stage in its 124 year history.”
Martin Gerrard said: “It’s an absolute honour to be elected at President of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, and playing my continued part within this important business organisation.
“Whilst Covid-19 has certainly presented us with significant challenges, my first priority is to increase membership and that in turn will give us a stronger collective voice.
“Working alongside other organisations, we need to jointly promote Harrogate regionally, nationally and internationally. Times are changing and we need to look to the future and not dwell on the past.”

I love mysteries and the harder the author makes it for me to figure out exactly “whodunit” the better. So, imagine my delight when I began The Best Corpse for the Job by Charlie Cochrane and found myself immersed in a multi-layered mystery that grew more exciting with every plot twist and turn.
Candidates for the headteacher post at St. Crispin’s have not been having the best of luck—in fact one, Ian Youngs, has turned up dead during his interview process. Seemingly secure and nearly impossible to breach, the school’s impenetrable security means that the murder was an inside job. In fact, when Inspector Robin Bright takes on the case, he is met with half-truths and a shady process that casts a dubious light on every person on the interviewing panel—even young teacher, Adam Matthews.
But as hours turn to days, Robin is drawn to Adam for more than just information and the two begin to grapple with the fact that the lead investigator of the crime is falling for one of the potential suspects. As one secret after another is slowly revealed and a second murder is added to the heap, Robin begins to feel the pressure of turning the case around even more keenly. He can ill afford a dalliance with a suspect and yet he is drawn time and again to the safety and peace Adam’s home provides him. Now the murderer may be on the move for a third victim and Robin fears the next homicide corpse may be Adam himself.
Robin had secrets of his own well before his attraction to Adam gives him another. It seems that St. Crispin’s was a place where the young Mr. Bright bore up under cruel bullying while teachers turned a blind eye. In placing this subplot into the story, author Charlie Cochrane allows for some healing to occur when Robin meets Adam—a teacher who obviously would never have turned away a frightened and bullied boy such as Robin. On top of that story line, the author paints a vivid picture of two men who, while they do not hide their sexuality, neither are they out and proud at their jobs. By allowing both men to grapple with that fact, the author builds into their relationship a common bond and understanding, making their mutual affections for each other all the more real and tender.
Often times in novels such as this, there are either only wonderful romance elements or a weaker mystery element or vice versa. Not so in this story. Both the growing relationship between Robin and Adam and the ever-deepening mystery were solid and well done. I was kept guessing till the very end by the continual “red herrings” that peppered this murderous tale. With the introduction of each member of the interview panel, each with their own peculiar quirks and secrets to hide, the novel glided along shrouded in a murky fog of subterfuge and lies. All in all, this was a top-notch mystery with fascinating characters and humbly sweet heroes.
The Best Corpse for the Job by Charlie Cochrane is a must read for mystery fans and romance junkies alike. It’s a fast paced story that will keep you guessing to the end and a tender romance that will leave even the tough-hearted sighing just a bit by novel’s end.

A week before we head to the polls to vote for our senatorial bets, do we really know what we want out of the personalities we will elect? What does it really mean to earn a seat in our senate halls? In this series of ANCX essays, some of our distinguished writers reflect on the careers of past and present senators who have made the most impact, and created a significant difference.
As with any other work place, the Philippine Senate has had its fill of cussed eccentrics. Voluble anger was the brand of Miriam Defensor Santiago, while Joker Arroyo was the parsimonious loner. Even Manuel Quezon, Senate President from 1916 to 1935, parlayed his fiery persona as integral to his political identity. In the public eye, these quirks proved more defining than the politician’s beliefs—perhaps since much of Philippine politics over the decades has been seemingly free of ideology apart from being for or against whoever is in power.
At first, Senator Vicente Sotto (1877-1950) appears to fall uncomplicatedly in that template. A Google Image search reveals a man who at varying ages of his life, preferred to scowl. “[Senator Sotto], although a majority man on the surface, was an oppositionist at heart”—so eulogized Amang Rodriguez upon the death of his parliamentary colleague and nominal foe. “An individualist and a man of strong opinions,” said proclaimed then-Secretary of Foreign Affairs Carlos P. Romulo, whose post-war America-friendly policies were opposed by Sotto. Had he lived (and he was already in failing health upon his election to the Senate in 1946), he likely would have joined ranks with Recto and Tañada and their advocacy of inflexible, unflinching nationalism. Sotto was the first member of Congress to file a bill seeking to nationalize industries such as retail trade, restricting the participation of foreign capital.

Sotto though was indelibly identified with one cause—that of press freedom. Even to this day, long after his grandson has far surpassed the namesake in fame and tenure in the Senate, Vicente Sotto’s landmark law, Republic Act No. 53 (1946), remains popularly known as the Sotto Law. The Sotto Law is remarkable for its terseness — just two provisions that are direct to the point. It says that journalists cannot be compelled to reveal who their sources are, unless it is determined by a court or congressional committee that such revelation is demanded by the interests of the State. Before the Sotto Law, journalists had no such protection under law, and judges could at whim coerce journalists to betray their confidences. When President Roxas signed the Sotto Law, he proudly proclaimed that this was likely the first such law in the world, and that its passage “places the Philippines in the advanced guard of progressive liberalism.”
Vicente Sotto was a politician, a lawyer, a fictionist and playwright, but foremost a journalist. At age 22, his initial law school studies having been interrupted by the Philippine Revolution, Sotto established the first Filipino newspaper published in Cebu, La Justicia. It supported General Aguinaldo’s Philippine Republic, and was quickly suspended by the American military authorities. A few days after La Justicia was shuttered, the undaunted Sotto founded another newspaper, El Nacional. Sotto was immediately arrested by the Americans and imprisoned at Fort San Pedro on the charge that he was a revolutionary agent. Upon his release, he established still another newspaper, El Pueblo. He was then only 23. Sotto also established the first newspaper published in Cebuano, Ang Suga. The following year (1901), he was charged with libel for the first time, by the rector of the seminary of San Carlos, over an article entitled “The Miracles of Father Julia”.
Sotto would be acquitted, but this would be the first of many libel suits that Sotto would face. Faced with multiple criminal cases, he went into exile in Hong Kong where he established yet another newspaper, The Philippine Republic, through which he advocated Philippine independence by any means. The American government repeatedly sought his extradition; the British authorities then in charge of Hong Kong refused to comply.
Sotto returned to the Philippines in 1914 after a deal was negotiated with the Americans. He served a nominal jail sentence, then was pardoned by the new American Governor-General, F.B. Harrison. Upon his release, in 1915, Sotto founded yet another newspaper, The Independent. That same year, he was again charged with libel, accused of defaming labor leader Lope K. Santos. He was convicted. In 1917, he was disbarred as a lawyer by the Supreme Court, on account of another libel charge after he had criticized a judge in the pages of The Independent.
Sotto did regain his law license, but his relationship with the judiciary would be contentious for the rest of his life. Just one year before his death, the Supreme Court severely castigated now-Senator Sotto and again initiated disbarment proceedings against him. Despite the Sotto Law, the Supreme Court had ordered the arrest of journalist Angel Parazo, who had written a report claiming that there may have been leakage in the 1948 bar examinations, and who had refused to reveal his sources to the High Court. In doing so, the Supreme Court interpreted the Sotto Law to mean that the revelation of the journalist’s source fell within the interests of the State. Sotto himself disagreed, claiming that the decision put in evidence “the incompetency of narrow mindedness of the majority of its members.” He declared that “the Supreme Court of today constitutes a constant peril to liberty and democracy.”
“The Supreme Court can send me to jail, but it cannot close my mouth”
The battle that ensued was ugly. Justice Gregorio Perfecto, himself a cussed figure in the Sotto mold, brought up not only the Senator’s past convictions, but the twelve cases that he had unsuccessfully argued before the Supreme Court following liberation. According to Justice Perfecto, Sotto was “a despicable habitual liar”, an “unrepented blackguard”, a “disgrace to the human species” and “a shame to the Senate.”
“The Supreme Court can send me to jail, but it cannot close my mouth,” Vicente Sotto declared. “He was the most persecuted man, but he always came out with flying colors,” summed up Senator Tomas Confesor. Is it possible that the complex Vicente Sotto was in fact persecuted for cause? Even in this more liberal age, it is hard to see how Sotto’s harsh words could not evade censure from the highest court of the land. Perhaps the numerous libel charges were less about what Sotto said and more about how he said it — disagreeing to becoming agreeable. Heroes need not be likeable people; Vicente Sotto named his youngest child after Stalin. And there is the matter of his prosecution in 1907 for the crime of “rapto”, or abduction of a minor, for immoral purposes, the case that drove him to his Hong Kong exile. The woman involved in that case had consented, but was also below the age of 18.
That Vicente Sotto won repeated election to public office despite his biography as a recklessly impolite and inconvenient man should not come as a surprise. Filipinos have since elected Presidents who ran on the promise to be rude to the establishment. Imagery, not policy, is what thrives in our market. What is unusual though is how Sotto’s life experience as a much-harassed journalist actually resulted in the landmark legislation for which he still is remembered. Politics involves compromise, and too often a politician bargains away their own life experiences. We are fortunate that the Sotto Law is actually a good law, a foundation point for press freedom from harassment, a law that remains inconvenient to authority even as it stands for free expression and good governance.

Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics Selects GenoLogics Solution to Manage Sequencing Data
News Jan 20, 2009
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (WTCHG) undertakes research into the genetic basis of multi-factorial diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, infectious diseases, psychiatric disorders and multiple sclerosis.
The Genomics Group of the Centre not only conducts research and development, but also provides a number of services for the Centre and other University of Oxford groups. Areas of interest include microarray, high-throughput quantitative gene expression, high-throughput genotyping and other specialties.
According to Dr. Ioannis Ragoussis, Head of Genomics at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, “we selected Geneus for our centralized lab and data management platform because of its flexibility to automate data capture from a wide range of genomics instruments and applications, while allowing us to more efficiently track samples and QC results across numerous projects.” Dr. Ragoussis went on to say, “a primary consideration in our selection of Geneus was the platform’s capability to fully integrate to our next generation sequencing instruments from Illumina and Roche, and automatically pipeline data for downstream analysis.”
Since Geneus is designed for the needs of genomics research facilities, the lab and data management solution to provide the Centre with immediate value. Pre-configured integrations across many instruments, including Illumina’s Genome Analyzer, means Geneus will improve the efficiency of the Centre as well as the quality of the data. This includes configuring the system for range of applications such as ChIP sequencing, resequencing, whole genome sequencing and genome wide association studies. By using GenoLogics’ web collaboration tool, LabLink, and adaptive reporting engine, the Centre will also be able to generate and share results with its customers.

Last night, MMG/Atlantic’s own Stalley returned to his old stomping grounds at the Alife Rivington where he hosted a special listening of his upcoming project, Honest Cowboy. The Ohio native extended the invite to his biggest fans via Twitter because he wanted to treat listeners to a sneak peak of the all the cuts that made it onto the final Honest Cowboy track list.
Honest Cowboy drops August 8th, and Alife, along with Nice Kicks, hosted the celebration. Stalley previewed his fan’s favorite tracks. Joints like “Samson“, “Swangin“, “Nineteeneighty7“, and “Feel the Bass“, were some tracks that particularly showcased how the rapper’s talents have grown since signing with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music label. Honest Cowboy is Stalley’s 5th mixtape in six years and artists like Schoolboy Q, Scarface, and Crystal Torres threw down ill guest verses for the project. Beats were supplied by Block Beataz and Rashad, among others.
Also in the house last night were Atlantic Records up-and-comers Justine Skye & Dusty McFly, who showed up to support their label mate. The excited fans and A Life staff definitely turned the event into a party, proving that Stalley‘s Ohio sound is well-respected in NYC. Check out photos from the event in our slide show above and the album art below. We also have an interview with Stalley coming soon, so stay tuned.

In May, 2019 my 5 year old twin granddaughters demonstrated a simple creative platform that became not only an inspiration but also my lifesaver for the profound life challenges about to come. What began that month as doodle experiments ultimately led to a unique art installation a year and a half later.
Here’s how it unfolded…
That day the girls showed me the drawing platform available on my Apple iPhone Notes section. You can find it here:
Intrigued, I began to sketch on the phone’s face with my right index finger-often referred as Peter Pointer by parents and their kids. Very soon, I was exploring the creative possibilities of the various tools in the paint section, limiting myself to drawing flowers, vases and people/portraits springing mainly from my imagination. I also gave myself these challenges:
- Each image I create must be different than the others. Here are some of the scores of drawings created since then:
- I determined to post all the images on my social media platforms, regardless of whether I liked them or not. As it happened, some I didn’t care for were considered the best by followers…
- Encourage others to create their own designs on this or similar platforms.
CHALLENGE: Why don’t you try it? Send me your sketch(es).
