Texas’ electronic rockers CEDARS released their new album “Cowards” on June 11th, via Gruene Records. Today the band has unleashed their new music video for ‘Claymore‘, talking about the challenges of relationship in a visceral way.
Trigger warning! The video contains graphic content that some may find disturbing!
Watch ‘Claymore’ here:
The band on ‘Claymore’:
“We wanted to talk about the challenges of relationship in a visceral way. We get told a story about what it takes to “make things work” and often that means betrayal of oneself at some level. We don’t think it has to be that way, but it takes a totally different conversation to get past the narratives we’re typically handed in western culture.
What parts of ourselves do we kill to stay in relationship? Are there pieces of our inner world that we choose to silence to maintain connection?
Claymore speaks to the feelings of being trapped and knowing that choosing connection means certain parts of who you are will have to be sacrificed, but resurrection and remembering your authentic self is always still within reach. It’s never too late.”

The band of the concept of the “Cowards” album:
“Cowards, at its core, is an album about choosing yourself, even in the face of great consequences. So often we find ourselves in situations or systems that ask us to minimize ourselves or our desires or even our needs, but there comes a point where we have to make some really tough choices: do we continue to support the system that is crushing us and building itself on our backs, or do we honour our own still, small voice?
The album is the story of finding ourselves in a season of life where those choices were very pressing, and very loud, with very real consequences. There are times when death is necessary to make room for the new, the better, and sometimes the knife is in our own hands. The album, though full of heavy moments, is also woven with bright strands of hope and light, the kind that can only come after great loss and struggle. How quietly we go to war.”

CEDARS is an electronic rock band from central Texas whose music incorporates the DIY ethos of bands like The Pixies and PJ Harvey, the haunting atmospheres of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, and the infectious grooves of MuteMath. CEDARS is more than just a band: it’s is a vision of community, a community driven by the idea that beauty can save the world. Led by longtime friends Sandeigh Kennedy and Drew Heaton, they blend industrial and organic textures, drawing together disparate elements to marry complex sonic landscapes with compelling stories. Gritty synths and wispy vocals; hard hitting beats and delicate textures are the tools they use to tell powerful, authentic stories that explore truth and beauty.

Much as more exercise and eating less should be top of my resolution list, I know that the chances of major change there remain elusive for the time being. So I am focusing on areas where I think I can have an impact and we are off to a promising start.
Part of the reason for the lack of recent posts is that we had resorted heavily to packaged and prepared foods to get us through the last few years. While Trader Joe’s fish nuggets and chicken fried rice, Annie’s mac and cheese, Bell & Evan’s various breaded chicken option have helped us get through many a night with full bellies and not too many battles, we are finally ready for more real food.
We had stumbled upon a few home cooked options during the packaged food option bonanza with the greatest hit being pasta with mild italian sausage, broccoli, and parmesan tossed in chicken broth and the perennial hit of breakfast for dinner with an all fruit smoothie.
My resolve to branch out strengthened with two parallel developments in my daughters’ relationships with food. The first was the adoption of the Wellness in the Schools initiative by the girls’ NYC public school. The program brings healthier menu items and more scratch cooking to the school cafeteria as well as cooking lessons and demonstrations. My first grader, in particular, has loved learning more about food (the second grader has an issue with tomatoes which have factored heavily in both cooking lessons so far) and has embraced the message of home prepared foods being healthier than processed foods. There has been an adjustment period but they have finally adjusted to the healthier version of the cheese and pbj sandwich options. My first grader opted for the lentil chili on Thursday and liked it and they both regularly partake of the salad bar. I actually need to buy some romaine and slicing tomatoes this week!
The second development, as unlikely as it sounds, is that I introduced them to Master Chef Junior and they were quickly hooked. I was hoping that seeing kids around their age being knowledgeable and skilled with a wide range of sophisticated foods might encourage them to be more open-minded and so far, so good!
So what has worked well enough so far to make it into a monthly rotation?
The first success was roasting pork using the Game Day Nachos recipe from the New York Times. I just roasted the pork and skipped the rest. I used half of the pork with some fresh pineapple and a squeeze of lime juice to make soft corn pork tacos. My first grader even asked for them the next day for breakfast. My second grader is more of a pulled pork fan so I prepared the rest of the pork with some barbecue sauce on a bun. She took the leftovers as lunch the next day.
The second success was the chicken soba soup recipe on the side of the Whole Foods Organic Chicken Broth carton but without the soba. I prepared it two ways. The first time, I added an ample handful of udon noodles so it was chicken udon noodles that you could eat with a fork. The second time, I went with a more modest amount of egg noodles for a more traditional chicken noodle soup. The evening that I cooked it, the girls both needed a bedtime snack because the cooking aroma was that mouthwatering.
On the dessert front, I finally got them to try my fruit cobbler. This one was 1 cup blueberries, one cup sliced strawberries, and diced asian pear. I tossed the fruit with a tablespoon of brown sugar. The topping was a combination of one cup of flour, one cup of sugar, one egg and a teaspoon of baking powder combined until crumbly. On top I sprinkled one teaspoon of cinnamon sugar and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Big hit at Wendy’s playdate with one of her classmates even though Evie was unimpressed.
The final success is roasted cauliflower. A nearby restaurant serves it and this was my second attempt at creating it at home and the more successful one. I took a head of cauliflower florets and microwaved them with some water for 4 minutes on high until they were beginning to get tender. I tossed them in some olive oil and then sprinkled them with panko. I made a spice mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder (3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper) and sprinkled it on top of the cauliflower. I then drizzled more olive oil on top and baked covered at 375 degrees for 25 minutes and then uncovered for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. It is savory and melts in your mouth. My first grader gave it a thumbs up.
I’m hoping that this particular bandwagon continues with more hits to come. Ideas, as always are welcome!

Pilot David Ibbotson was the only other person on board the plane, which disappeared more than a fortnight ago
The plane carrying Cardiff City striker Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson has been found, their families have been told.
Marine scientist David Mearns, who directed a privately-funded search operation north of Guernsey on behalf of the Sala family, said the wreckage of the plane was “located earlier this morning”.
The Piper Malibu N264DB carrying 28-year-old footballer Sala and pilot Ibbotson, 59, disappeared over the English Channel on January 21 after leaving Nantes in France for Cardiff.
Two vessels, including one commissioned by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch using sonar, had been taking part in a fresh search covering an area of around four square nautical miles after funds were raised for an underwater investigation to take place.
Once the plane was identified, the families were notified and a AAIB vessel has stayed in the area to oversee recovery.
Mr Mearns, the marine scientist directing the private search, said on Twitter: “Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN.
“As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV. #EmilianoSala.”
He added: “The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by Police. The AAIB will be making a statement tomorrow. Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David.
“This is about the best result we could have hoped for the families. But tonight they have heard devastating news and in respect of the families I won’t comment any further about what has happened.”
Sala had been on his way to Cardiff from Nantes on January 21, having signed for the Premier League club for £15million just two days earlier, when the plane he was travelling on disappeared off the radar.
The plane had requested to descend before it lost contact with Jersey air traffic control.
An official search operation was called off on January 24 after Guernsey’s harbour master Captain David Barker said the chances of survival following such a long period were “extremely remote”.
Two seat cushions, which are likely to have come from the plane, were found earlier this week.

Idris Elba's name is constantly linked with the casting of James Bond films. While his tweets have let many to believe that he is being considered for the role of James Bond, there are some previous conversations which shed light on his reservations about being considered to portray the spy in the action-thriller film franchise.
The Thor movie actor talked to the New York Times and discussed all the hype about his casting as James Bond.
"I think it's more about, 'We just want to have a black guy play James Bond rather than, 'Idris Elba, the actor, play James Bond.' That's the part I'm like, ugh, come on," he said.
Even Elba admitted that he remains ambitious, saying, "My ambition is boundless, I'm forever reaching. It's left me with no sleep and you have to be unafraid to fail. I'm not planning to fail, but I'm not worried if things don't work out how they should have."
As an actor, Idris Elba has made a remarkable career for himself. With his roles as Heimdall in the Thor movies, Elba has his own fan following, which desperately wishes to see him as James Bond.
The rumours first started when it was reported that James Bond's movie franchise producer discussed with director Antoine Fuqua about the likelihood of a non-white actor to play James Bond.
The Dark Tower movie star teased the fans when he recently shared a selfie of the top half of his face on Twitter with the caption that resembled James Bond's iconic "My name is Bond, James Bond."
Check out Elba's tweet:
When Elba's tweet went viral and was picked by many, he tweeted a picture of the group Public Enemy and then tweeted the title of one of their songs, "Don't believe the HYPE."
Don’t believe the HYPE...— Idris Elba (@idriselba) August 12, 2018
In the past, there were speculations that a female should portray the iconic role of a British spy in future James Bond films. Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke talked about her desire to star in a James Bond film. Even Idris Elba weighed in on the possibility of a female Bond.
"It could be a woman — could be a black woman, could be a white woman — do something different with it, you know?"
As of now, Daniel Craig remains James Bond in the upcoming 25th Bond film. Even after multiple rumours, the studio has not confirmed the possibility of Idris Elba playing the role of James Bond.

Caring Adult Daycare Crescent City CA 95532
You then ought to know that it can be the best thing for your elderly family member, if you’re considering using adult daycare services. Adult daycare is usually for those seniors who’re helplessly even physicalyl inept to accomplish basic duties around their house, or frail, impaired cognitively. In these instances such as this, adult daycare is necessary.
For many individuals, individuals who take care of their elderly family member will be the elderly’s relatives or children. This puts a burden on the shoulders simply because they need to aid their elderly loved one – alongside performing the responsibilities they need to do in their own existence. So it could cause an imbalance.
Understand that you’re not abandoning your family member that is senior. At their older age, you’re actually supporting them to own more fun in existence – actually in most cases.
Should you establish that your family member can’t manage themselves for a couple minutes when you’re not around, or has extended amounts of time of overall solitude – then that’s the point whereby you’ll need to call and obtain qualified help, since situations like these are from your breadth of knowledge.
For many members of the family, their support means a sacrifice they’ve to produce to education or their work in relation. For factors including these, adult daycare services would be the next step that is logical, as it becomes extremely difficult to keep up with the demanding morning -today needs of looking after their elderly loved one.
It will take a while for the elderly loved one to obtain adjusted to their new adult daycare layout, but to it they will get accustomed with time. The issue is ease. And if comfort can be achieved in the adult daycare, then your determination to acquire support was a wise one.
Adult daycare centers’ price can range anywhere from $40 to $100 per day – with regards to the services that you just select. The average is $61 per day, and you have to know that adult daycare centers are not typically covered by Medicare.
Nevertheless you should know that adult daycare isn’t poor. In reality for many seniors, this can be a number of the best situations inside their lives to not be restricted socially to their home, and to connect to others.

In this manner you’ll be able to convey the household to view your loved one that is elderly, all while dancing in your life. With the adult daycare agreement, you may get back again to doing your task or furthering your education.
You’ll understand that proper care has been given to licensed professionals. And you can get a lot of your own time back so you can manage to do what you wish to do with your personal family.
However protection could be offered through Medicaid, so that you would want to execute a thorough check before they are admitted by you in to the adult daycare centre.

PICTURE SPECIAL: Jose Mourinho gets down to business as the Special One takes his first Real Madrid training session
Jose Mourinho began his quest to become the first 'Grand Slam coach' when he took charge of his first training session as Real Madrid manager on Friday.
The Special One took the Bernabeu job after guiding Inter Milan to an historic Champions League, league and Italian Cup treble last season and promptly announced he wanted to make history by winning a titles in England, Italy and Spain.
The former Chelsea boss has been linked with plenty of stellar signings as he looks to rebuild a Mardid squad high on attacking flair but low on defensive steel. The likes of Ashley Cole, Steven Gerrard and now Nemanja Vidic have all been mentioned as possible big-money targets for the Portuguese.
Making a point: Jose Mourinho gives instructions to his new Real Madrid players
Madrid are also said to be closing in on the £8.5million signing of Stuttgart midfielder and Germany international Sami Khedira.
But there was little sign of such star quality on view at Mourinho's first session, held at Madrid's Valdebebas training centre, with galacticos such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain, Kaka and Xabi Alonso all still on holiday following their World Cup exploits.
Familiar faces: Mourinho with Madrid's ex-Premier League players Jerzy Dudek (second left) and Lassana Diarra (third left)
Lassana Diarra and Karim Benzema did have an early opportunity to impress Mourinho, as their new boss put them through their paces. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek also got his chance to make an impression.
In a city still recovering from Spain's World Cup triumph and the wild celebrations that followed, Mourinho made a low-key start to life at Europe's most successful club.
But, knowing Mourinho, this will turn out simply to be the calm before the storm.
Not going well, Jose? The Special One appeared to be feeling the strain (left) and worked closely with French striker Karim Benzema (right)

Sort By :
Lovely and moist. I added a few crushed pecans in the butter and sugar mixture. I also used a French Vanilla cake mix.
Took these to a church fundraiser and everyone wants the recipe. Easy to make too.
I haven't tried it yet but very excited to try this recipe - however, I have a question. As you say the recipe is diabetic friendly - could you use the sugar free cake mix? I think I will try it with that type of mix to assist in lowering the sugar. Any suggestions?
Haven't made it but looks good!! Nice presentation! @ ylns493p, muffin tins and cupcake tins are the same thing, but do come in a variety of sizes; this recipe uses the standard size (not mini or jumbo). Bake away!!
These mini pineapple upside-down cakes really look good and I'm looking forward to making them. I do have one question before I make them, and that is: What exactly do you mean by Muffin Pans? What is the difference between cupcake tins and muffin cups in for this recipe? Thank You!

“a cool, acoustic country blues release”
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Meet Me In The Middle, from Erin Harpe, and it's a cool, acoustic country blues release. Opening with self penned, All Night Long, Harpe on acoustic slide and lead vocal, backed by Jim Countryman on ukulele bass and backing vocals. With a slight boogie beat and a touch of swing, this is a cool opener. Sippie Wallace's Woman Be Wise is a great showcase for Harpe's vocals and her guitar work is clean and tight. Lucille Bogan, well know for her suggestive lyrics, penned I Hate That Train Called the M&O, and Harpe does a great job of delivering the goods with a powerful voice and tight blues riffs. On blues classic, Rollin' and Tumblin' Harpe hangs tight on slide over the thumping bass line of Countryman. A cool interpretation, possibly my favorite on the release. Geeshie Wiley's country blues track, Pick Poor Robin Clean, has a lot of spunk and piedmont playing, accompanied by Harpe on kazoo gives the track real spunk. Next up is Memphis Minnie's What's the Matter With the Mill, a great little track and Harpe delivers it nicely. With cool little acoustic riffs and pure vocals, the release is steady and cool. Wrapping the album is original track, One Fine Day, with super vocal harmonies and clean, crisp guitar picking. Solid closer for a solid release.

Beautiful set.....All are wonderful Ellecee :)
I too like the second one best. It has a mystic feel to it.

New York's Senate has adjourned again after meeting in yet another extraordinary session called by Gov. David Paterson.
But no bills were debated or passed in Sunday's three-minute session.
Two Senate factions continue to refuse to recognize each other's leaders and so no legislation action was made on critical bills, including some of which would extend laws that expired during the standoff.
The Senate has been gridlocked since a June 8 coup by a Republican-dominated coalition over the Democratic conference.
The Senate is now evenly split after one of the dissidents defected back to the Democratic conference. Action on critical bills has been stymied for weeks.
Senators' staffs are trying to negotiate a compromise.

The bat that bit a young girl last weekend in the East Valley has tested positive for rabies, according to the Arizona State Public Health Laboratory.
The young girl is expected to be OK but is receiving post-exposure shots for rabies.
Officials at the Maricopa County Department of Public Health said the 7-year-old girl was at her grandparents' home and put her hand into a bush where she was bitten by the bat.
Arizona Public Health Department is urging parents and teachers to remind students to never touch a bat, whether it is dead or alive.
This is the first confirmed rabid bat in Maricopa County this year.
Maricopa County had five animals confirmed with rabies in 2011 that included three bats, one bobcat, and one javelina. That was the fewest number of confirmed rabid animals in more than 10 years.
Once rabies is present in a human it can be fatal. If you think you have had contact with an animal you suspect of being rabid, especially bats, you should get medical attention immediately.
Even though any mammal can contract rabies, the most common animals in Arizona to carry the disease are bats, skunks, and foxes.
Most animals infected with rabies will show unusual behavior that can include: wild animals that show no fear of people or pets, nocturnal animals that are active in daylight and bats being found on the ground, in swimming pools, or that have been caught by a pet.
A few precautions that can be taken to help prevent the public from getting infected against rabies are:
People and pets should stay away from wild animals. Do not pick up, touch, or feed wild animals; especially sick, wounded, or unfamiliar animals.
Do not rescue animals you think have been abandoned. If you think an animal is abandoned, call Arizona Game and Fish
Spay or neuter your pets to help reduce the number of unwanted pets that may not be vaccinated properly

Many strange thoughts ping-ponged around my mind while watching David Easteal’s three-hour drama The Plains, despite nothing remotely strange occurring during it. Based in the back of a car for almost the entirety of its very hefty running time, the film captures a series of work-to-home commutes for a middle-aged lawyer, Andrew (Andrew Rakowski), who has a familiar routine: calling his mother and wife; listening to talkback radio; sitting in silence; or chatting to a colleague (Easteal, also the film’s director and writer) who he sometimes gives a lift home.
Sound interesting? Of course not. But this extraordinarily mundane film – a combination of words I’m fairly certain I’ve never used before – is a tremendous achievement and, in a subtle way, an amazing work of art. Such pared-back voyeurism provokes many interesting ideas: that drama can exist without the dramatic and that engaging narratives are everywhere around us, observable with the right eyes.
The Plains is told through conversations, both between Andrew and his colleague, and Andrew on his phone. Easteal resists staging these calls on speakerphone, which would have allowed both sides of the exchange to be heard; instead, we hear only Andrew, which makes for a restricted aural perspective that matches the film’s restricted visuals. Ordinary speech turns into small puzzles we try to solve.
The gimmick of setting an entire movie inside a car has been done before, such as Tom Hardy’s one-man thriller Locke, which regularly cuts around and outside the car while the actor stays inside. Easteal’s camera remains dead still for the vast majority of the experience, allowing us to see only the back of Rakowski’s head.
Nor is it like Jafar Panahi’s brilliant Tehran Taxi, in which the Iranian director concealed three cameras to make for some highly dramatic moments. But The Plains isn’t dramatic at all, operating in slow and small reveals, the details of the protagonist’s life gradually fleshed out.
Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning
We learn that Andrew has been in the legal and courtroom game for a long time (part of “the old guard”). He has a wife named Cheri (Cheri LeCornu), who is occasionally seen but never heard. The health of his frail elderly mother, who he calls most days, is deteriorating. This tangent constitutes the equivalent of a plotline – although, a word like “plot” doesn’t sit quite right, implying an artifice antithetical to the film’s naturalistic vibes.
Keeping the camera fixed in a moving vehicle evokes a contradictory feeling of being stationary while constantly on the move (notwithstanding quite a lot of traffic). This is far from new, with many precedents in cinema, including one of the medium’s earliest genres: a type of film known as “phantom rides,” which were often shot on moving trains.
When Easteal breaks this format by cutting to occasional drone footage – filmed by Andrew – this shift feels epic. Context is everything. This is why, in the wordless animal movie Gunda – another staggering quotidian work – the simple arrival of rainfall can feel far more dramatic than any city block-levelling spectacle in a Marvel movie.
In his hugely influential book Expanded Cinema, Gene Youngblood observed that commercial entertainment “exploits the alienation and boredom of the public, by perpetuating a system of conditioned response to formulas.” The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most obvious contemporary example of this: a profit-motivated form of cultural decay, viewing audiences as objects to manipulate.
Great outside-the-square films like The Plains, rare though they may be, exist on a different frequency, reminding us there is no “right” or “true” motion picture experience – only different scales of convention and experimentation.
The Plains is on as part of the Sydney Film Festival, 8-19 June.

Toymakers design high-tech gadgets for girls
NEW YORK - Courtney Bast, a 9-year-old from Herndon, Va., considers herself just as techno-savvy as her male peers. She chats with her friends on the Internet and plays on a Sony Play Station with her 14-year-old brother, Joey. But Courtney is keenly aware that what's appealing to her will not necessarily be a hit with the boy next door.
"Boys like video games and Game Boy," said Courtney, who prefers games that are more social.
Courtney, along with other girls in the 8-to-12 age group, has become a target for toy manufacturers. Companies that had chased after boys with talking action figures and camouflage walkie talkies, are realizing that girls are interested in high-tech features too - as long as they're girl-friendly.
That means using bold colors like pink, and making plenty of electronic gadgets that help girls organize phone numbers and even beam messages to their friends.
Mattel Inc., which last year launched a line of computers tied to popular brands including Barbie, has been one of the leaders in the trend. So has Girl Tech, a division of Radica, which two years ago came out with a collection of high-tech toys aimed squarely at preteen girls.
This fall and holiday, other toymakers are following suit, with products that range from electronic organizers to music players the size of a postage stamp that play Britney Spears tunes.
Los Angeles toy manufacturer Manley Toy Quest, which used to play down its high-tech features for girls, is now promoting them. Over the next six months, the company will be spending about $7 million to advertise its licensed MTV line of hand-held computers and digital cameras, aimed at the so-called "tween" market, or girls ages 8 to 12.
Toy Biz, a division of Marvel Enterprises, which had intended its V-Mail pens only for boys, decided to expand its offerings to girls, adding such colors as pink and bright blue, according to Kathryn Maciel, vice president of marketing. V-Mail pens allow kids to record messages and transmit them up to 100 feet. The division plans to add more high-tech gadgets for girls for spring, Maciel said.
And this fall, electronic toy manufacturer V-Tech is promoting a girl-friendly computer called Non-Stop Girl. It also promises more high-tech products for girls next spring.
"The conventional wisdom was that girls did not like high-tech toys," said Chris Byrne, a toy consultant."But the truth is that they like high-tech, but they just want it to express who they are."
"The prevalent belief is that women are uncomfortable with technology, and it starts with how they grow up," said Faith Popcorn, a trend consultant and author of "EVEolution," which urges companies to market to women. "It's about time that toy manufacturers listen to female customers."
Economics is driving the trend toward girl-friendly, high-tech gadgets. The U.S. toy business, a $25 billion market at retail, has seen flat sales over the past six months, and analysts believe that this new category could help ignite holiday and fall sales.
Already, toy stores such as FAO Schwartz and Zainy Brainy are seeing an uptick in sales in the preteen department.
Four months ago, FAO Schwartz developed separate areas for tween boys and girls called FAO University and FAO Girl, respectively. Some of the best-selling gadgets for girls are V Tech's Non-Stop Girl computer, Girl Tech's electronic password diary and Tiger Electronic's digital camera.
"This has been an area that has been long ignored," Bert Bailliet, director of merchandising at Zainy Brainy, adding that he's seeing an increase in business from the 8-to-12 age group. "These electronic toys had always been so male oriented."
Developing these high-tech gadgets that also appeal to girls' play patterns isn't easy. "These games can't be patronizing," said David Miller, president of the Toy Manufacturers of America. a trade group. "You have to meet them on their terms."
When Mattel last year launched its Barbie computer for girls and Hot Wheels for boys, it took some heat from critics, who claimed that the Barbie software wasn't as sophisticated as the boy's version.
Referring to the controversy, Susan Salmine, a Mattel spokeswoman, retorted: "Barbie isn't sitting around painting her nails." She emphasized that software for both computer models provided games that were equally challenging.
"Toy manufacturers have struggled with what girls want in high-tech," said Eric Johnson, professor of management at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. "Girls typically want creative play in an interactive environment. It's a lot easier to have shoot-em-up games."

The origins of Chinese writing lie deep in history, dating back to the 'oracle-bone inscriptions' of ancient times. By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, with their new sense of 'appreciation for harmony in writing,' Chinese characters no longer served only as written records. They were seen to embody the spirit of those who wrote them and to awake in them greater self-awareness; thus the independent art of calligraphy was born. By the 6th century A.D. calligraphy had spread to Japan, where it gradually evolved into a 'calligraphy ceremony,' a companion to the 'tea ceremony' and 'flower ceremony,' forming an important part of Japan's Zen culture.
The postwar years brought Japan into much greater contact with modern Western art. Artists were no longer restricted to Japan's native, traditional art forms; they aspired to participate in international art movements while retaining the power of Japan's traditional aesthetics, thereby producing new art forms. Inoue, together with four other like-minded artists, formed 'The Ink Society' in 1952 with the aim of 'liberating shodo (the art of calligraphy) from its traditional forms by incorporating modern artistic concepts, presenting it on a global stage.'
During the same period, Jiro Yoshihara, representing the group of avant-garde Japanese artists known as the Gutai group, gained a reputation for abandoning the outlook and approaches of the past and encouraging his students to adopt fresh, new creative forms. Yoshihara believed that the use of Japanese kanji limited the expressive potentials of calligraphy. Inoue, after a phase in the early '50s in which he experimented with purely abstract works without reference to kanji texts, or with enamel as a replacement for traditional ink, suddenly realized that character scripts were the very soul of calligraphy: "Kanji are not unchanging, lifeless shells. They have a spirit; they speak. Our written characters can shock the heavens and the earth and move the immortal beings with their spirituality." He thus returned to the practice of writing calligraphy, painting kanji with ink on paper, and abandoning the traditional forms and techniques of shodo. 'Human calligraphy' and 'the act of writing' became the central creative concepts of his work, uniting the individual self and the calligraphic script in the final work of art.
The work offered here, Ryu (Dragon) (Lot 77), is a major work by Inoue and dates from the early 1960s. In Liberating Calligraphy, Inoue wrote, 'By "human calligraphy" I mean that as a calligrapher, you free yourself from all of the techniques and rules of traditional shodo practice, giving freedom to your human nature and making calligraphy a more personal language.' In Ryu (Dragon), Inoue eschews traditional ideas of content in calligraphy and focuses instead on the single character for 'dragon.' Beyond the meaning of the character itself, Inoue stresses the relationship between meaning and form, and unites the pictographic elements of the 'dragon' character with the abstract aesthetic appeal of the written word. Instead of using conventionally-sized paper laid on a desk, Inoue custom-ordered a huge sheet of xuan paper which he placed flat on the floor; then, grasping a huge calligraphy brush made of stiff horse-hair bristles, he used his entire body to write this huge kanji character. He also employed a special adhesive ink he developed himself by first diluting a water-based binder, before mixing it with fine charcoal powder and allowing it to set slightly before use. The artist's brush movements and inky black spots of varied density leap onto the paper, while the vividness of the inks and their unique visual effects suggest deep black night and enshrouding mists. When Inoue confronted a huge sheet of paper with his entire body, the calligraphy became a vehicle for documenting his physical movements and explosive energy, one that reflected the mental state of the calligrapher at the time. 'The act of writing,' as part of the work, unfolds before the viewer with the ease and grace of the legendary, powerful dragons that would hide in the seas or roam among the skies.
During this same period in the '50s and '60s, artists in the West were actively exploring the possibilities of Action Painting and Abstract Expressionism. Many of those Western artists borrowed from Eastern forms - in particular, the energy of calligraphy - as they developed their new styles. One such artist was Robert Motherwell, who developed a style that paid homage to calligraphy in the form of splashed inks and linear brushstrokes. Inoue achieved breakthroughs with the strong sense of physical movement and abstract beauty he injected into his work, while its extremely explosive nature added an Eastern energy to the developing tide of international abstract art. By breaking down the boundaries between Japanese shodo, Action Painting, and abstract art, Inoue found in calligraphy a path for freedom and liberation of the self. With a startling energy of rhythm and spirit, Inoue depicted the rhythms and movements of life itself and added an invigorating new Eastern chapter to the history of modern art.


PERTH is a city that likes to brunch. Actually, what it really likes is all-day breakfast, and it’s a prerequisite that almost every dish be laden with eggs.
Which makes true brunch — meals that are partly breakfast, but just as much lunch — an interesting concept in WA.
Shadow Wine Bar has decided to take on the challenge, offering a no-reservations brunch spread from 10am until 2pm on weekends. Much of its menu turns the other cheek to eggs — there’s even pasta and a serious steak dish (for $26) on the listing, as well as three decadent desserts.
Shadow arrived on Northbridge’s William St strip just over a year ago and pegged itself as a wine bar cum European bistro that’s discreetly attached to Alex Hotel.
Alex already provides its guests with an excellent continental spread until noon, so presumably Shadow’s brunch is aimed just as much at locals as it is overnighters who want something more than sourdough, granola and cold-pressed juices.
It’s not a typical brunch spot, all sexy black steel beams, white-dressed tabletops and lighting that, in the evening, lingers in all the right places. But aside from a dip in bustling atmosphere and bums on seats, it scrubs up well in the harsh light of day. Like a rock star dressed up to meet his nan.
Embracing the unwritten rule of brunch — that you must order bubbles, cocktails or both — a girlfriend and I kick off with a stiff, breath-sucking white negroni ($18) garnished with fresh thyme, and a relatively demure pink lemonade of blended Aperol, rosé and fresh grapefruit ($16).
The kitchen has thoughtfully split our order into savoury then sweet, first sending out a dish overlaid with insanely fresh, generously salted shavings of cured ocean trout ($22).
The glossy, coral-hued flesh is decorated with cubed beetroot, dill, sticky-centred but, oddly, cold quail egg and quenelles of crème fraîche, topped off with triangles of chargrilled brioche toast. It’s not going to cure the headache from a big night out, but it’s a brilliant way to start the day lightly and cleanly.
Warm bone broth ($22) — divided into two bowls so we can share — has a similar effect. It’s a gorgeous colour mix of green, white and tan, thanks to brussels sprout leaves, slim fingers of enoki mushroom and a gently broth-poached egg. In the flavour stakes it’s a tad underwhelming, but a sprinkle of salt helps to pep it up.
At this stage we feel sated but not full — larger appetites might be disappointed. Fortunately, we’ve ordered more, though this makes for a pricier outing.
After just the right amount of breathing space between courses, we dive into a cute brown paper bag full of toasty ricotta doughnuts ($12). The plum-sized drops of deliciousness are dusted in fine sugar, with soft but airy insides (and no hole).
I’d consider giving them up for an extra serving of thin, mascarpone-dotted crepes ($15), showered in grapefruit triangles and warmed orange wheels. Candied zest shavings are woven through the folds of the crepe, which oozes subtle sweetness care of a clear syrup made from Italian passito dessert wine.
As with every plate we gobbled, the impression left was of delicate flavours and gentle romancing. Lovely. Different. Classy. Like the venue itself.
When it comes to brunch, this isn’t the place to seek out a greasy fry-up to soothe a throbbing hangover. It’s where you meet your friends for a classy cocktail and light, delicate dishes, or take your parents out for an A-grade steak or filling pasta. It’s sophisticated brunch like Perth hasn’t seen before — and it’s good.

These are some of my block prints from the last few months. All of these are reductive prints, which means that all the colors are inked onto one block–with the block being progressively cut for each color. I hope you enjoy them. Copies of some of them are for sale on my ETSY site:
Moonrise is my dawn caress, But now with darkness ebbing fast And Autumn lightning leagues away I nestle in among my caste, And close my eyes for break of day— An owlet’s sunshine being the light From multitudes of distant shale, Eternal voyagers far above The Owl-song and the trill and wail Of creatures deep in forest dress, Whose night is day and day is night.
I soar up to the Autumn sky With stars as thick as golden dust. They guide me to my lodgepole pine Where siblings wait in coats of rust.
Tales of horrid demons too, Whose tiny sun makes tiny day, And blinds them to the upturned fields, Of moons, and stars, and Milky Way.
Shut eyed I speak the parting prayer: “Protector of all things that fly Enfold me in your velvet wings Receive me in your nest on high.”
My day is night; my night is day I search for grubs and wriggling stuff Among the spines of lodgepole pines That tower above our granite bluff.
The thunderbird is nowhere near He must have left for foreign strands Perhaps one day I’ll follow him And see the nights of distant lands.
And as these fancies fill my mind A fearsome shape with wings like shrouds Surrounds me from the North-north-west And blocks the stars like thunderclouds. My heart, my home, my limb, my life, I’m banished now from nurture’s shore As sluggish childhood disappears, And agile instinct heads to war. I tumble without conscious thought, As feathers slice the sky like scythes, Trees whirl below like tragic hopes Of dreams fulfilled in un-lived lives.
At dusk I spread my pinions wide In ocean air as clear as glass Then serenade the Milky Way My voice of wood and candlemass. I never yet have left this tree; My nursery of yards and spars, But childhood ebbs at falcon’s pace And soon I’ll soar towards the stars.

Followed by a Gourmet Gazette Slide Show
Paris, France — A tantalizing tiara evoking sheaves of wheat, a diamond brooch of holly leaves, Claude Monet’s Iris oil on canvas. A breathtaking botanical exhibition is underway at the Beaux-Arts Paris exploring the influence of flowers and flora on jewelry creation. The Beaux-Arts of Paris and the high jewelry house of Chaumet are presenting the exhibition which has been curated by the botanist Marc Jeanson who was the director of the herbarium at the National Museum of Natural History of France. The show celebrates the eternal beauty of the worlds of vegetation through the ages and through the arts, juxtaposing pieces of jewelry with works of art depicting the world of flowers and ever flowing flora. Initiated by Chaumet, the house drew upon works from its incredible collections, one of the major collections of the history of jewelry in Europe. More than 70 museums, foundations, galleries, and private collectors from France and abroad have loaned works in myriad mediums.
Entitled Vegetal, the School of Beauty, the exhibition brings together over 400 works offering the visitor a journey into 5,000 years of art and science in which paintings, sculptures, textiles, photographs, furnishings and some 80 pieces of jewelry from Chaumet and other houses form an ensemble drawn together by the world of plants and flowers. The Spring and The Summer by Giuseppe Arcimboldo received an exceptional authorization to leave their permanent home in the Louvre to join the exhibition while the Lily by Henri Fantin-Latour and Claude Monet’s Iris are among the art works that can be admired. An exceptional dress by Christian Dior and embroidered with lilies of the valley — the designer’s lucky charm flower — are also on display among the glowing and sparkling jewels. On show as well are drawings from the house of Chaumet that illustrate the initial steps in the fashioning of a piece of high jewelry. The house is celebrated for its tiaras and several astounding pieces — featuring flowers and various flora — are all a part of the show. Chaumet’s 2019 creation, the Carnation Brooch in diamonds and white gold is a particular stand-out.

30 November 2018
At an official press event, on Wednesday 28 November Infrabel opened the four-track connection between Brussels and Denderleeuw.
The inauguration of the line took place in the presence of Prime Minister Charles Michel and Minister of Mobility Bellot. Strukton Rail (Belgium) played an important role in three of the four tenders of this project.
From Sunday 9 December, trains will be better distributed over the four rails between Anderlecht and Denderleeuw. The increased capacity will ensure faster flow and benefit the robustness of rail traffic. The capacity expansion is part of the GEN project (Gewestelijk ExpressNetwerk) around Brussels.
The four-track line with increased capacity
The work to create four tracks on the 15 km long railway line between Anderlecht and Sint-Katherina-Lombeek started in April 2008. Unique to the project was that, during those years, a brand new rail infrastructure was developed while the middle two rails continued to operate. At the end of January 2016, during two transition weekends, these two new (outside) rails (line 50C) were commissioned. This was followed by the next phase of the work: the modernisation of the two existing (middle) rails of line 50A. Just three years later, this work was completed, meaning that the busiest rail connection in Belgium (the Brussels – Denderleeuw – Ghent axis) now has four good quality rails between Anderlecht and Sint-Katherina-Lombeek. Every day, 275 trains travel along the Brussels – Denderleeuw line (in both directions) and during rush hour this can rise to 25 trains an hour.
Gradual expansion of the GEN
This expansion to four rail tracks is part of the Gewestelijk ExpressNet (GEN) to gradually optimise mobility to and from the capital. Infrabel invested a total of 540 million euros in the construction of the two new rails (line 50C) and the renovation of the two existing rails (line 50A) between Brussels and Denderleeuw. An investment which will benefit safety, punctuality, capacity and therefore mobility.

A few weeks ago, I was in Suzhou, China visiting my in-laws. In addition to enjoying hairy crab and travel by high speed trains, I also enjoyed exploring the housing market in Suzhou.
What is Suzhou?
Before I discuss the housing market, it's worth saying a few words on Suzhou. Suzhou is an ancient city with more than 3,000 years of history. Suzhou has long been one of the wealthier cities in China because of its skilled silk artisans and well-constructed canals. Today, Suzhou's diversified economy is primarily based on precision manufacturing, including electronic equipment, iron, steel, silk textiles. More recently, Suzhou's become a key city for biotechnology research and development as well as leading edge computer engineering, Apple, Huawei and Microsoft all have research and development centers. These research centers are supported by several prominent local universities and other foreign universities are building branches here as well. Suzhou has a population of more than 11 million and continues to see strong population inflows. In addition to its population size, it also has the benefit of being 25 minutes from Shanghai by high speed train (¥39.5/$5.99 for a one way ticket). Suzhou people familiar with the US often compare Suzhou to Boston and those familiar with Japan often compare Suzhou to Osaka.
Housing Market Overview
Suzhou's economic development began with the Gusu District (#1, Purple Ring). Gusu is housed within the ancient city and surrounded by a moat. Gusu consists of homes built 15-25 years ago. These apartments are older, generally lack elevators, heating systems, insulation and garden areas. These homes were built during a period when China was less focused on quality of life and more focused on meeting essential needs. The Gusu District has high population density, high walkability and has more of the old China feel. Building height restrictions make it illegal to build buildings much taller than 6 stories. There is no more greenfield land in Gusu and thus the city has expanded eastward.
Suzhou University is located in East Gusu at location #2. This area feels much newer and taller (height restrictions relaxed) but building areas lack the large enclosed gardens seen elsewhere in the city. This area has homes built 5-15 years ago and has modern high rise apartment buildings, high population density and walkability. The interiors of these homes tend to be comfortable and similar to US standards, though likely without granite countertops.
As the city expanded eastward, we move to the Gongyeyuan District (#3 and #4, Orange Ring). The Gongyeyuan District resembles the Boston financial District and was built 5-10 years ago. Suzhou's iconic sky scrapper popularly known as "The Big Pants Building" is located here (see below). This area also houses the first built modern apartment gardens (tall apartment buildings surrounded by enclosed gardens). The area is slightly less walkable than Gusu because it is less dense. The area is popular with foreigners and houses many of Suzhou's bars, clubs, posh restaurants, the financial services industry and corporate headquarters.
Suzhou's development continues in Gongyeyuan District to the south across locations 5 through 8 (Black Ring). These housing developments are presently under construction. Homes here are luxury to ultra-luxury by US standards and have large enclosed gardens and are surrounded by schools and hospitals. These apartments have amenities ranging from heated floors to in-apartment elevator access. Homes here remind me of the pre-2008 US suburb build out. Going into a sales office at one of these complexes feels like going to a fine restaurant. Attractive young sales agents offering tea and coffee will guide you around immaculate grounds and model homes. The only problem that I see with these homes is their locations. While #5 through #8 are located on subway lines, they structurally lack walkability because they've been designed to be lower density areas. These apartment complexes are surrounded by wide multi-lane highways and it seems unlikely that you could live here without constantly relying on a car.
Based on what I've told you so far, if you had to rank the homes in these locations from most expensive to least expensive, how would you're rankings look?
My guess: 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 8, 6, 7
I based this guess on the hypothesis that the most important determinant in home price is location. As the old saying goes, there are three rules of real estate, location, location, location. In most global cities, the price per square foot tends to be higher in the most dense areas that tend to have the most amenities. In general, as you move further from the city core, prices decline. Nearly all of my guesses though were wrong.
The chart below describes the real estate prices in both SQM and SQF for each of the eight locations.
My hypothesis, that location (high density and walkability) would be the primary determinant of home prices, appears to be false.
In particular, locations 5 and 6 being more expensive than location 2 really surprised me. The way I see it, parts of Suzhou that are currently greenfield and even when completed will be relatively suburban areas are currently trading for more than the high density, high convenience, fully developed city core…
I discussed this pricing difference with my in-laws and they were less surprised than me. They explained that Chinese people have a strong proclivity toward buying new homes and their desire to raise their kids in a more park like environment may explain some of this demand. I countered to them that the "new" homes built in 2017 are not much newer than the homes that were built in 2009-2015 in locations 2, 3 or 4. To their point, the desire to move into new homes likely explains why the significantly lower quality 15-25 year old homes in location 1 trade for less than their location might suggest.
Overall, I worry that there are a lot of people buying large luxurious homes in lower density, suburban like areas that are probably expecting rapid home price appreciation. We saw this story play out in the US prior to the crisis and a lot of people lost money. Consider these videos from location 5 and ask yourself if this isn't a sign of real estate excess?
How could we make the basement to this property even more excessive?
While it is the case that the city core is older and less shiny than it once was, its location is unlikely to depreciate. If you can find a property with a source of endogenous demand, say near a financial center or a university, even better. Unfortunately, I expect there to be a lot of disappointed suburbanites in Suzhou over the coming years. Even if their real estate valuations appreciate significantly, is it worth sitting in a traffic jam every day on your way to work?
One sentence summary: in Suzhou, density may be under-appreciated and under-priced.

Within hours after President Trump announced the cancelation of the ambitious Singapore summit between his administration and North Korea, the North Korea administration has responded and maintained optimism that progress towards the summit would eventually get back on course. The carefully-worded response from the North Korean regime was issued through Kim Kye Gwan, the Vice Foreign Minister on Friday.
In the statement, the Kim Jong Un’s administration clarified that it was working towards a lasting solution amidst the current spate of standoffs between the two nations. He dispelled any fears that the government was sabotaging the highly anticipated peaceful resolution of the standoff between the two countries and said that a resolution was imminent in the near future.
The historic summit between North Korea and the US was slated for June 12th in Singapore after the recent spate of animosity between the two nations that nearly escalated to a full-blown military conflict. The proposal for the meeting had been advanced after North Korea abandoned its nuclear weapons bid and unconditional release of US prisoners
In his part, the US president strongly condemned the North Korean regime for having frustrated the plans for the peace talks. Statements, according to Trump, issued by the Korean regime hinted unwillingness and cast doubts on whether the administration had committed itself on the course of diplomatic talks that would see the two countries come together.
Particulars detailing the sabotage efforts by North Korea revealed that the country constantly avoided contact with US officials for a considerable amount of time and in a manner that derailed the negotiation process. Negotiators from the US were, for instance, allegedly responded to by propaganda information after days of chiding diplomatic phone calls.
Responding to these allegations, official statements from North Korea reported that the US was to blame for the failed talks since senior US officials were expressing raged comments that a regime change would be an imminent and lasting solution for the people of North Korea.
It was however determined that the two nations continued communicating at a lower level of administration, even after President Trump and Kim’s remarks on the cancelation of the summit.
Elsewhere, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in constant touch with his South Korean counterpart, Kang Kyung-Wha. Details of their engagements are reportedly surrounding the aborted meeting, even as they intend to create a fresh conducive environment for a new wave of talks with the North.

Layoff notices are being delivered on Friday to 157 Los Angeles court employees and an additional 257 workers will be cut to part-time or transferred to new posts under a cost-cutting measure expected to save some $30 million, court officials said.
The cuts will affect nearly 1 out of 10 employees at the Los Angeles Superior Court, the largest trial court in the nation.
“This is the unfortunate human impact of the need to reduce our spending by $30 million,” said Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon. “We are laying off people who are committed to serving the public. It is a terrible loss both to these dedicated employees and to the public.”
On Friday, the body of a court employee was found near the loading dock area of the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, raising fears that the death was related to the layoffs.
The warehouse employee, Greg Nemo, died of apparent natural causes, a coroner's official said. Nemo had not been laid off.
The union representing state and municipal employees told the Associated Press Friday's action a "freeze on justice in Los Angeles" and warned that the county would experience "an end to timely justice" with cases being delayed for years, particularly in civil courts.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees -- AFSCME -- planned to have representatives on hand to assist employees who will not know they are losing their jobs until they are informed individually Friday, according to the AP.
The latest cuts are part of an ongoing series of cuts that began in April 2010.
The cuts made so far have saved $70 million.
The current actions will save another $30 million. Despite these cuts, the court faces future additional shortfalls as more reductions in state support for the trial courts are proposed for the Fiscal Year 2012-13 budget.
Governor Jerry Brown's budget proposal seeks to reduce judicial branch funding by another $544 million.
That means the LA courts will likely face additional mandatory reductions of more than $40 million during the next fiscal year.
“There will be more cuts next year, and their impacts will be severe," said Assistant Presiding Judge David Wesley. "The current cuts already affect the core work of court – the judge in the courtroom – while significant budget shortfalls remain. Given the significance of our responsibilities to protect public safety and children, the next round of reductions will further limit our ability to hear civil cases.”
Across-the-board cuts will eliminate 431 positions in four areas, totaling $30 million in ongoing savings.
• 157 people are being laid off,
• 108 people will lose 40 percent of their salaries when they are moved to a three-day-per-week schedule,
• 86 people will lose between 5 percent and 40 percent of their salary when they are reclassified to lower-level positions,
• 80 people are being transferred to new jobs, and typically new locations, because their old jobs have been eliminated.
Those being laid off will be given two weeks’ paid administrative leave, during which time they may attend Court-provided workshops on post-employment benefit issues.
By Friday, the LASC will have reduced the number of budgeted positions by 23 percent since 2002.

For the lessons of population and parenting, we could relate back to the previous topic, Culture. Every parenting style is also influenced by their own culture. It was also mentioned that parenting style is also influenced by their country and government. However the culture does not only refer to things practiced by religions or race.
Well, to begin, Culture is a belief or lifestyle practiced by a group of people. What i remember most was discussing about 4 different types of parenting. They are Authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. My parents brought me up with the authoritarian parenting style. But, gradually, my parents resorted to authoritative and permissive as my sister and I grow older. It is good that there is a change because I feel that children should not be too restricted in the things we do. Especially in this generation, I believe parents should not always stick to the traditional ways as there is so much to explore.
A personal experience would of course be the unorthodox upbringing styles of my parents. My aunties are very “old-fashioned” people. As typical chinese parents, my parents focused a lot on my academics. I’m not a studying person, I’d admit. I used to do badly or average on academics, and come home to major punishments whenever I brought back my report book and exam papers. To my parents, it was important that I excel in school. Being brought up with a really fierce father, I was very afraid of making mistakes and being a bad kid. So, I would get very involved with activities that gives my my moral values. My parents teach me as well and groom me with good values. I never appreciated them till secondary school. I was the good student in primary school, always punctual, and liked my teachers. I only noticed in secondary school that my leadership potentials has always caome from my parents, and of course those activities I took part in primary school that grooms me to be who I am. I did not do as well in my PSLE, and ended up in NA stream. T They were disappointed of course. Some of my relatives looked down on me. I’m still their daughter afterall, they accepted the fact that i’m in NA . My parents learnt to loosen the strings a little, and they trusted me, thus becoming permissive parents. My father is always there to support me and I started to do well academically in secondary school. I got character awards, progress awards and did really well in school. And here I am now in SP as a PFP student. Because my parents choose to believe in me and gave me so many chances to explore and discover myself makes me who I am today. They groomed me to be what I am. Without my father disciplining and supporting me or my mother advising and motivating me, I will not be here today.
To more old-fashioned parents, things must be done step by step. Example, to my aunties, it is madatory for their children to be in the express stream and then do well in O levels, end up in Poly or a JC and they should have a degree. This sounds like typical asian parenting right? Whereas my parents chose to trust me and support me throughout the unorthodox way. I didn’t end up in the express stream, my highest qualification so far would be N levels, and I skipped O levels. My mother once told me that she believes it isn’t necessary for me to get a degree. I agree. I totally agree with her. My parents realised within the last 4 years that it is more important to groom their child to do what they love than what they “should have been doing”. Me and my parents share great trust with each other. And I personally believe that is what all parents should have with their kids, mutual respect and trust.
In one of our AEC classes, we were discussing about our ideal parenting styles from different culture. I like that the Norwegian and Dutch parents have a common thing which is grooming their child to be excellent at what they are good at. And another parenting style from the Japanese culture would that they teach their children to be independent. An example given was that young children at the age of 11 could travel on their own through the subway. This reflects on the amount of trust they parents have with their children. I really love that parents in this generation no longer focus on just academics, but also groom their children to be better people and to be able to excel in the things tthe children love doing. This permissive parenting should be promoted.
In short, I believe that because of this unorthodox way my parents chose actually made me who I am today. Because of the discipline my dad instiled in me, and also the respect and trust my parents and I share.

The mosaic artist who patches up Chicago potholes with glass and marble is getting ready to hit the road again.
In two days last week, Jim Bachor raised over $2,300 — more than double his goal — in a Kickstarter fundraiser for a new installment of his pothole mosaics that have ranged from as simple as the word "pothole" with the city flag to tasty frozen pops to high-end designer Gucci and Burberry patterns. He has created more than 30 pieces of pothole art since 2013, when he first patched up a pothole in front of his home in the Mayfair neighborhood.
He's going for the unexpected grin.
"You're going through your day and doing your thing and crossing the street and unexpectedly you see a Bomb Pop where a pothole should be, and I just think that's kind of funny," said Bachor, 51.
He wouldn't reveal the theme for this year's new batch of about two dozen pothole mosaics but said installation would begin in late March at the earliest, depending on the weather. He's also looking to spread his dry sense of humor to other American cities, such as San Antonio and Los Angeles.
The potholes can't be too big, small, deep or shallow. They can't be in the center of the street or on a street that is too beat up because at some point that street will be repaved. The potholes have to be roughly 18 inches by 24 inches surrounded by stable asphalt, he said. Though the mosaics are durable and don't fade, some have been paved over, he said.
He enlists his 7,000 Instagram followers for suggestions on which potholes to fill. When he finishes an installation, he posts a picture on social media, hints where it is located and leaves a goody bag nearby.
No, he hasn't asked the city for permission. "If I asked at the beginning about doing this, it never would have happened," Bachor said.
This year, Chicago has seen fewer potholes compared with the past couple of years when the weather was harsher. City data provided to the Tribune showed city crews filled 40,262 potholes in January, lower than the 60,611 potholes for that month in 2015 and 94,307 in 2014.
Ideally, Bachor would like it to be 60 degrees for two days in a row before an installation. If it's too cold, the concrete takes too long to set. If it's too hot, the concrete dries too quickly and cracks. When he gets to the site, it takes two hours to mix the concrete, fill the pothole and install the artwork, he said. He comes back the following day and spends half an hour scrubbing it to clean it up.
It costs about $100 for materials for each pothole and eight hours to make the mosaic in his studio, Bachor said.
His street art has given him exposure for his other artwork and led to getting commissioned for mosaic projects elsewhere, including at the CTA's Red Line Thorndale station and Nike Chicago on Michigan Avenue, he said. He plans to install a piece in the next couple of weeks at Pork and Mindy's, a new restaurant in Bucktown from Food Network star Jeff Mauro, and in a couple of months in the sidewalk of a walkway leading to a Logan Square graystone.
He doesn't know when he'll stop creating the pothole mosaics. For now, he still finds humor in the juxtaposition of pairing a pothole with flowers or ice cream sandwiches or other things people generally love.
"Potholes are everywhere. It's a universal hate," Bachor said.

Fraud in the network is developing with awesome speed. After the crypto currencies conquered users, they automatically became the object of deception.
The undeniable fact is that if the space of the crypto currency had been cleared of scammers, the network would have been better. It is also a fact that if the user has deceived the crypto currency, it is probably his fault.
The biggest reason for crypto-currency fraud is not shadow activity from poor countries. These are not Russian hackers, and they are not scammers who make spam links.
No, the biggest reason for crypto-currency fraud is greed. And not their greed, but the greed of the user. If someone lost money in Bitconnect or Davorcoin or phishing scam from e-mail or in Vitalik Buterina's promises about free ETH on Twitter, this person is not a victim – he is the culprit.
If people did not accept the bait, scammers would not deceive. If Bitconnect did not buy a crypto currency, Bitconnect would not be able to come out with millions of dollars. If there is a desire to get rich from crypto currency, you should put money in three main coins at will, save them on the hardware purse and forget about it for at least five years.
By 2023, you can become rich, or poor, or somewhere in the middle, but one thing that does not exactly happen in this case is deception.
Let's be honest: the victims of crypto-currency attacks – no matter how naive or mean – do not deserve ridicule. There is no optimism in watching the greedy, devoid of what they crave, and there is no satisfaction in that scammers go away with millions of stolen coins.
You can feel a rush of pity for the victims, at the same time realizing that they themselves have brought themselves problems. But sympathy will not return the money. The only way to stop such things is to stop taking the bait.
Stop buying schemes that look too good to be true. And stop encouraging your friends and relatives to invest in them too.
