Performance Art in China takes as its subject one of the most dynamic and controversial areas of experimental art practice in China. In his comprehensive study, Sydney-based theorist and art historian Thomas J. Berghuis introduces and investigates the idea of the "role of the mediated subject of the acting body in art," a notion grounded in the realization that the body is always present in art practice, as well as its subsequent, secondary representations. Through a series of in-depth case studies, Berghuis reveals how, during the past 25 years, Chinese performance artists have "acted out" their art, often in opposition to the principles governing correct behavior in the public domain. In addition to a 25-year chronology of events, a systematic index of places, names and key terms, as well as a bibliography and a glossary in English and Chinese, this study also offers the reader numerous previously unpublished photos and documents.

First published in 1981. The overthrow of the 'gang of four' in October 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society, and probably nowhere can this be more clearly seen than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's widow, was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. This book describes her influence and the effects its removal had on the arts. Although the period covered is mainly that since the death of Mao, there is also considerable reference to the years following the Cultural Revolution.
This book provides an in-depth and thematic analysis of socially engaged art in Mainland China, exploring its critical responses to and creative interventions in China’s top-down, pro-urban, and profit-oriented socioeconomic transformations. It focuses on the socially conscious practices of eight art professionals who assume the role of artist, critic, curator, educator, cultural entrepreneur, and social activist, among others, as they strive to expose the injustice and inequality many Chinese people have suffered, raise public awareness of pressing social and environmental problems, and invent new ways and infrastructures to support various underprivileged social groups.
The Methuen Drama Companion to Performance Art offers a comprehensive guide to the major issues and interdisciplinary debates concerning performance in art contexts that have developed over the last decade. It understands performance art as an institutional, cultural, and economic phenomenon rather than as a label or object. Following the ever-increasing institutionalization and mainstreaming of performance, the book's chapters identify a marked change in the economies and labor practices surrounding performance art, and explore how this development is reflective of capitalist approaches to art and event production. Embracing what we perceive to be the 'oxymoronic status' of performance art-where it is simultaneously precarious and highly profitable-the essays in this book map the myriad gestures and radical possibilities of this extreme contradiction. This Companion adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to present performance art's legacies and its current practices. It brings together specially commissioned essays from leading innovative scholars from a wide range of approaches including art history, visual and performance studies, dance and theatre scholarship in order to provide a comprehensive and multifocal overview of the emerging research trends and methodologies devoted to performance art.
Since the confirmation of Deng Xiaoping’s policy of Opening and Reform in 1978, the People’s Republic of China has undergone a liberalization of culture that has led to the production of numerous forms of avant-garde, experimental, and museum-based art. With a fast-growing international market and a thriving artistic community, contemporary Chinese art is riding a wave of prosperity, though issues of censorship still abound. Shedding light on the current art scene, Paul Gladston’s Contemporary Chinese Art puts China’s recent artistic output into the context of the wider cultural, economic, and political conditions that surround it. Providing a critical mapping of ideas and practices that have shaped the development of Chinese art, Gladston shows how these combine to bind it to the structure of power and state both within and outside of China. Focusing principally on art produced by artists from mainland China—including painting, film, video, photography, and performance—he also discusses art created in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and diasporic communities. Illustrated with 150 images, Contemporary Chinese Art unravels the complexities of politics, artistic practice, and culture in play in China’s art scene.
This book explores the relationship between the ongoing urbanization in China and the production of contemporary Chinese art since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Wang provides a detailed analysis of artworks and methodologies of art-making from eight contemporary artists who employ a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, and performance. She also sheds light on the relationship between these artists and their sociocultural origins, investigating their provocative responses to various processes and problems brought about by Chinese urbanization. With this urbanization comes a fundamental shift of the philosophical and aesthetic foundations in the practice of Chinese art: from a strong affiliation with nature and countryside to one that is complexly associated with the city and the urban world.
England between the wars was a paradise of calm and leisure for the very, very rich. Into this enclave is born Mrs. Emmeline Lucas—La Lucia, as she is known—a woman determined to lead a life quite different from the subdued formality of her class. With her cohort, Georgie Pillson, and her husband, Peppino, Lucia upends the greats of high society: the imperious Lady Ambermere and her equally imperious dog, Pug; the odious Piggy and Goosie Antrobus; the Christian Scientist Daisy Quantrock, with her penchant for the foreign; and all the rest of the small English town that the British rich call their country home. Beset on all sides by pretenders to her social throne, Lucia brings culture, fine arts, excitement, and intrigue into this cloistered realm.
"Material matters in new Chinese art, which presents its subjects through the directness and immediacy of its material. This book applies theories by Osborne and Danto to new Chinese art to show how artists are working below the level of language to make each work of art prove that it is art"--

This book seeks to engage Chinese philosophy to reframe existing Western scholarship in the fields of gender, body, and aesthetics. The assembled essays cover traditional and current global issues related to Chinese female bodies by addressing the following questions: Does Confucianism rule out the capacity of women as moral subjects, and hence, as aesthetic subjects? Do forms of Chinese philosophy in some ways contribute or correspond to the patriarchal Confucian culture? In what ways can Chinese philosophy provide alternative perspectives sought by Western feminist scholars? Professor Man uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore feminist philosophy through the issues of the body, aesthetical representation and gender politics, which are simultaneously historical and contextual. The first section of the book, "Body Discourses in Chinese Philosophy", brings in theoretical and philosophical discussions of Western traditions such as those of Plato, Descartes, and Kant, to examine their views on body and mind and how the Chinese philosophical ideas offered by Confucians and Daoists provide alternative body ontologies for critical feminist practices. The second section, "Chinese Bodies, Aesthetics and Art", reviews female aesthetical representations in classical traditional Chinese works ranging from The Books of Songs, women's embroidery, sexuality and suggested ways of kissing, and the contemporary body art represented by the controversial body artist He Chengyao. These chapters demonstrate the intertwining relationship among body, sexuality, aesthetics and the ascribed gendered roles in social environments. The third section, "Chinese Bodies and Gender Matters", aims to unfold the changing perceptions of femininity from imperial China to contemporary China. Case studies touch on female body ideals in the literary fantasies in late Ming, in the iron girls in Communist China, and in the Olympics Hoopla at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This section also discusses Hong Kong women's fashion in the 1960s and how their bodies were shaped by colonial politics. Finally, the subject of sex and emotion in the development of ethical discourse of Chinese female sex workers from late Qing to contemporary society is discussed alongside the impact of the global economy on female beauty today. Overall, this book discusses new conceptual models that feminist scholars are using to displace dualism and emancipate notions of the body from Cartesian mechanistic models and metaphors. The different chapters review traditional and contemporary alternatives to understanding female bodies in Chinese society. Eva Man is professor of humanities and creative writing at Hong Kong Baptist University. She publishes widely in comparative aesthetics, feminist philosophy, cultural studies, art, and cultural criticism.
The late twentieth century has been marked by momentous political, economic, and social change throughout the Chinese world. Deeply rooted cultural assumptions and ancient visual traditions have been challenged by rapid modernization and conflicting global, ethnic, and local identities. Inside/Out: New Chinese Art was the first major international exhibition to explore the impact of these challenges on artists in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and those of the 1980s Diaspora. The multifaceted exhibition and accompanying catalog encompass an extensive range of artistic forms, including installation, video, and performance art as well as more traditional media such as oils and ink. The art is grouped according to themes, some specific to regions and others that reflect widespread and overlapping trends. With the inclusion of ambiguous territories like Hong Kong and Taiwan, the exhibition opens up a perspective of modern Chinese art from the "outside" as well as a looking-out from the "inside." The catalog features essays by eminent Chinese art scholars and curators along with leading curators and historians of Western art. Together they promote Chinese art's rightful place in the contemporary global cultural arena and at the same time acknowledge the influence of its rich heritage. The diversity and freshness of the exhibition reflects the explosion of creativity among Chinese artists during the past decade. The ironic social commentary of Li Shan's The Rouge Series, no. 24, the "apartment art" of artists reacting against the traditional patronage of large museums and corporations, and Wang Jin's sly humor in portraying consumer fetishes in today's China are a few examples of the spirited artistry awaiting the viewers of Inside/Out.

A unique and visionary generation of young Chinese artists are coming to prominence in the art world - just as China cements its place as the second largest art market on the planet. Building on the new frontiers opened up by the Chinese artists of the late 1980s and 1990s, artists such as Ai Wei Wei who came to the West and became household names, this new generation are provocative, exciting and bold. But what does it mean to be a Chinese artist today? And how can we better understand their work? Here, renowned critic Barbara Pollack presents the first book to tell the story of how these Chinese millennials, fast becoming global art superstars, negotiate their cultural heritage, and what this means for China's impact on the future of global culture. Many young Chinese artists have declared they are "not Chinese, but global" - this book investigates just what that means for China, the art market, and the world. Brand new Art from China is the first collection to showcase the dynamic new art coming from Chinese artists, and features full-colour photos and video stills throughout - with many works being published in book-form for the first time. Featuring an in-depth interview with Zhang Xiaogang, probably the most well-known artist in China itself, whose sombre portraits of Chinese families during the Cultural Revolution sell for as much as $12 million at auction, alongside unparalleled access to the tastemakers of today's art scene, Brand New Art from China is the essential guide to Chinese contemporary art today - its vision, values and aesthetics.
Nowadays, plenty of factories from Europe and other developed countries have been relocated to this country, considering its tremendous economic scale and rapid growth rate during the past three decades.But most of what happens inside the China nowadays is deeply hidden from the outside world (¿the foreigners¿ as China people would call). This fact is partly because most reports on China were written by the so-called fly-high experts who are busy completing their reports despite a busy schedule. Very few books or reports were written by people inside, or at least ¿foreigners¿ who spent a few years in China. Therefore in this book, we took a different approach, by inviting local scientists and other writers to describe what happens surround them.It is the purpose of this book to bring these cultural advantages into more focus, in order to bring into light some 'human¿ aspects of the country, and how these can be integrated into the broader context of economics development. At the end of the day, their achievements cannot be measured by economic progress alone, but also how the people can have the proper sense of meaning (i.e. 'feel¿ at home) in their own homeland, instead of being just another 'bolt¿ in the obsolete industrial engine of economics. As shown in history that China/Eastern cultures can shed some light into modern science (cf. Fritjof Capra etc.), it is of our belief that both cultures can learn from each other, rather than suppressing the Eastern cultures under the spell of modernization.As with other books on development economics, it is beyond the objective of this book to give the final word. We would rather see the purpose of this book is to invite further dialogue over a long-time issue on how the modernization can be given a more humanized interpretation. This perhaps will include rethinking on the meaning of modernization and development themselves, beyond classical debates between inward-outward looking development programs.
The result of collaborative research from noteworthy dramatists and scholars, this volume investigates the dynamic relationship between culture, performance and theatre in Iran. The studies gathered here examine how various forms of performances, especially theatre, have and continue to undergo change in response to shifting political and social settings from the antiquity to the present day. The analysis in this book focuses on performance practices, examining drama, texts, rituals, plays, music, cinema and drama technologies. This is done in order to show how Iran has been imagined through enactments and representations, and reproduced through these performative actions. The book uses a wider definition of the concept of 'performance', offering analysis of a wide range of phenomena, including indigenous rituals – such as the naqqali and taziyeh – and online performances by diaspora communities.
This work gives an 'inside' view of Chinese theatre and the actor in performance for the first time. It challenges western theatre artists such as Brecht, Grotowski, Barba and Schechner, who have extracted from Chinese theatre elements which might enrich their own theatres. It is based on personal observations of and dialogue with Chinese actors, experiences which were impossible before 1980. Riley's study is well illustrated with photographs and diagrams and is accessible to anyone interested in theatre, even those with no knowledge of Chinese or Chinese theatre.
"For all their ubiquity, life and death have not been fully explored as integral themes in many forms of contemporary Chinese art. Exploring the strategies employed by a variety of Chinese artists who do engage with these timeless concerns, the author opens a new line of inquiry about contemporary art in a rapidly changing environment."-P.  of cover.
This is an interdisciplinary study of Chinese modernity in the context of globalisation from the late 19th century onwards. The text draws on Chinese literature, film, art, photography, and video to map the emergence of modern China in relation to the capitalist world-system in the economic, social, and political realms.

My students need engaging fiction books such as Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid Box of Books 1-7 for our sustained silent reading time.
My students' experience of a library is a graffiti filled, poorly-lit room where the books are disorganized and there is a long waiting list. I envision my classroom library to be a place where my students have access to the types of books they'd find in a well-stocked, organized library.
I teach an energetic group of bilingual and special education 6th and 7th graders.
Most of my students are reluctant readers but, when given the right environment and engaging reading materials, I firmly believe they will thrive and learn to love books as much as I do. I teach at a Title 1 school in the South Bronx where 100% of the students receive free or reduced lunch.
Every day in my class, students will have 30 minutes for independent reading. During this time they will have the opportunity to browse our classroom library and choose a book that peaks their curiosity, launching their future as life-long readers. The majority of my students currently are far below grade level in reading. However, I envision them first encountering the classics in a less intimidating and easier to digest graphic novel form. I can help them move their reading levels. I just need the right books such as Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja 2-8 and Wimpy Kid Box of Books 1-7 to grab their attention.
Donations to this project will vastly improve the reading selection available in my library.
These books will help my students dive into fiction and learn the joys of literary escape.
DonorsChoose makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you.

New York University Studies in Near Eastern Civilization #0013: Mystical Islam: An Introduction to Sufismby Julian Baldick
Synopses & Reviews
The Uwaysis--who take their name from Uways, a contemporary of the prophet Mohammad who is reputed to have communicated with him telepathically--are Muslim mystics who look for instruction to the spirit of the dead or physically absent person. Julian Baldick here surveys the legend of Uways and the Uwaysi phenomenon within Sufism, Islam's main mystical tradition.
Baldick examines the Uwaysi movement in 16th-century East Turkistan (now Xinjiang in northwest China) and then discusses the book the central text in the development of the sect, History of the Uwaysis, written by Ahmad of Uzgen around 1600. Analyzing the intricate combination of Biblical motifs, shamanistic initiation rites, and Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist legends, Baldick argues that an understanding of the Uwaysi sect reveals many of the paradoxes which lie at the heart of Islam. The first definitive study of this important sect, IMAGINARY MUSLIMS will be of central interest to all those concerned with Islamic studies, the Middle East, and the history of religion
Sufism is Islams main mystical tradition. There are Sufi orders in almost all Muslim countries around the world, but not all Sufis accept the same beliefs and practices.
Mystical Islam offers an introduction that encompasses the full history and richness of the Sufi spiritual tradition over fourteen centuries of Islam. This accessible work covers the origins of Sufism and early influences, particularly from Christianity; the rise of the great Sufi organizations; the thought of Sufisms main theorist and systemizer, Ibn Arabi; Rumi and the Whirling Dervishes; relations with Shiism in Iran; Sufism in the heyday of the great empires in Iran, India, and Turkey; and relations with Turkey and Egypt during the nineteenth century as well as Sufi practices in the twentieth century.
In a new afterword, the author reflects on recent scholarship and offers fresh perspectives on this fascinating tradition of belief and devotion.
Includes bibliographical references (p. -193).
About the Author
Julian Baldick is Lecturer in Comparative Religion at King's College in London. He is the author of Mystical Islam, Homer and the Indo-Europeans, and Black God.

Unlocking the secrets of one’s genetic code used to be confined to the laboratory, but increasingly, the big business of DNA is now going after your eating habits.
Scientists already know that variations in our genes determine how well our bodies metabolize certain compounds — for example, people with a variation of the CYP1A2 gene metabolize caffeine more slowly and are at an increased risk of heart attack and hypertension if they drink more than a couple of cups of coffee a day.
Genetic testing service 23andMe has genotyped more than 2 million customers to determine ancestry and genetic health risks, and Nutrigenomics offers tests designed to help medical professionals make recommendations for a person’s intake of sodium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and — yes, caffeine.
“There’s research now showing that people who get DNA-based dietary advice are more likely to follow recommendations. So not only are people getting more accurate dietary advice, but they are more likely to follow it,” said El-Sohemy.

ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata def. Trent Beretta
I don't know how much of a threat the audience viewed Beretta to the ROH Pure Championship, but he's obviously a very talented singles competitor, so they had an enjoyable opener. They worked well together and made the most of the time they had. I like how most matches Shibata has are title defenses, so it makes every match he has matter. I assume he'll have another random defense at Final Battle unless he starts a storyline before then.
Willow Nightingale def. Diamante, Trish Adora and Kiera Hogan in a Four-Corner Survival Match
Ring of Honor's women's division has a ton of talent, but the problem is that all of these women have been built up over the last year only to lose to Athena when the ROH Women's World Championship has been on the line, so they're all left with nothing to do until Athena gets dethroned. That's probably why this wasn't a number one contender's match, but at least it was well worked and Nightingale picked up a much-needed win.
"All Ego" Ethan Page def. Tony Nese
This was part of the program they've had over the last month. Page has lost to both Nese and Josh Woods in that time, so this was a necessary victory for Page. They had the quality contest you'd expect from them. Although Page went over decisively, their backstage promos later on in the episode indicated their feud isn't over with Page ultimately wanting a Code of Honor handshake from Nese.
The Workhorsemen def. The West Coast Wrecking Crew, The Infantry and Iron Savages (Boulder and Bronson) in a Four-Corner Survival Tag Team Match
We've seen a lot of multi-team matches on ROH TV over the last two months and this was probably the weakest of the bunch. There wasn't anything necessarily wrong with it, but this are all enhancement teams and I doubt we see any of them get a meaningful push in the near future. That said, it was refreshing to see The Workhorsemen win for a change. This was a fun sprint while it lasted.
Wheeler Yuta def. Lee Moriarty in a Pure Rules Match
Yuta appeared a lot on ROH TV shortly after its relaunch on HonorClub earlier this year, but this marked his first match on the show in over six months. With this being a Pure Rules match, could it be a sign that he'll be facing Shibata at Final Battle in a rematch for the title from Supercard of Honor? This was very well-wrestled, but I would've preferred Moriarty not eat a loss after joining Shane Taylor Promotions.
Lee Johnson def. Fred Rosser, Willie Mack and Jack Cartwheel in a Four-Corner Survival Match
Yet another Four-Corner Survival match without stakes. Why would anyone care about the outcome in that case? The action carried this one, but it would help if there was a reason for why these matches were being booked. Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable outing with solid showings from all involved. I'm honestly stunned Cartwheel hasn't been signed anywhere yet (to my knowledge). His shtick isn't my cup of tea, personally, but he almost always gets over with the crowd whenever I see him wrestle. Johnson is the only one under a deal to ROH/AEW to my knowledge, so he had to win here.
Ronda Rousey and Marina Shafir def. ROH Women's World Champion Athena and Billie Starkz
Rousey's ROH debut here was not treated like a surprise on the show. It was for the live crowd, but there was a graphic advertising this main event as soon as the show started. Unfortunately, "Bad Reputation" played in the arena but not on HonorClub, probably for licensing reasons, so the crowd pop for her entrance was altered. The match itself was very good and you can tell Rousey was having a blast. Rousey winning would seem to suggest that she'll be next in line for a title shot at Final Battle, but I honestly don't see her having much worth to ROH or AEW long-term. Needless to say, she's automatically a bigger star than anyone else on the brand, but her recent run in WWE didn't leave me wanting more from her and having her dethrone Athena would be the wrong call.
For a holiday episode, this exceeded my expectations. Rousey's debut obviously made it newsworthy and we'll see if she sticks around for Final Battle and beyond, but the rest of the show held my interest and featured plenty of entertaining action. The three multi-person matches were a tad excessive considering they lacked stakes, and the build for Final Battle has largely been nonexistent so far, but in a vacuum, this was a thumbs-up episode.

Hello everyone, and Happy Easter!
Mandy here today to share a new layout with you! I used the gorgeous ‘Henley’ kit to create this page, but I also mixed in some embellishments from four previous kits! I love the versatility of the Felicity Jane kits, and that they all work so beautifully with one another! Here’s the layout that I created…
On this page I documented a photo of my youngest daughter Eleanor, enjoying a play at the playground. The colours in the photo matched perfectly with the beautiful teals and corals in the kit!
I really wanted to make a feature of the beautiful patterned papers in the Henley kit on this layout, and so I started off by trimming down three vertical strips of patterned paper, and arranging them across the page. I especially love the beautiful floral paper! Next I matted my photo with one of the solid color papers from the kit, and I layered a journaling card underneath the right hand side of the photo. Then I was ready to start embellishing!
I created my title by combining the paint dipped wood alphabet stickers with one of the die-cuts from the Henley kit. Those alphabet stickers were from a previous kit, and are still one of my favourites! (They are also available to purchase separately in the Felicity Jane shop – see link below).
Underneath the title I layered together a die cut label from the Alexis kit, with a chipboard sticker from the Summer collection. I used the label to add the date and the place that the photo was taken.
I created a cluster on the bottom right hand corner of the photo using a washi sticker, a wood veneer piece, and a die cut, all from the Henley kit. I used a few of the washi stickers on this page, and I decided to stick these onto white paper and fussy cut them before adding them to my page, so that I could use them more like a die-cut. This made the colours on the stickers more vibrant, and it also made them a little bit more sturdy, which meant that I could add foam tape underneath them to give them more dimension.
I finished the layout off with a sprinkling of little embellishments in the top left hand corner of the page and the bottom right hand corner. I included brushed gold sequins, and epoxy dots from the Henley kit, as well as die cuts from the Alexis kit, a silicone charm from the Caroline collection, and a few bitty puffy stickers. I love the detail that these small embellishments add to the page!
Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! If you’d like to take a look at how this layout came together, you can watch my process video here…
Supplies: Henley Kit | Henley Paper Pack | Henley Flexible Epoxy Dots | Henley Die Cut Shapes | Henley Washi Stickers | Henley Wood Veneer Shapes | Henley Journaling Cards | Henley Brushed Gold Sequins | Paint Dipped Wood Alphabet | Alexis Die Cut Shapes | Summer Chipboard Stickers | Caroline Silicone Charms | Essentials Bitty Puffy Stickers

Read: 1 Kings 12-14
Marked: 1 Kings 12:28, Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!”
I get into trouble when I decide to do my own thing instead of obeying the Word of the Lord. Psalms 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
I can look on the Word of God not as commandments to be obeyed, but as “suggestions” or “recommendations “ to be considered. This is how some view God’s Word,
“Suggestions” and “Recommendations” become two golden calves when I give into such thinking. They don’t bring me closer to God, but keep me away.


The new A8 Sport, which will go on sale this summer, forms part of the updated MY16 A8 range and replaces the older Sport Executive specification.
Available in standard-wheelbase guise only, Sport models get lightly updated exterior treatments “reminiscent of the flagship S8”, as well as new side skirts, matrix LED headlights and 19in alloy wheels.
Inside, an upgraded sound system features alongside Audi’s connected infotainment system, which can act as a wi-fi hotspot on the move.
Elsewhere in the MY16 range, the LWB A8 continues to be powered by frugal petrol-electric hybrid powertrains, as well as the current 6.3-litre W12 and twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 options. Standard-wheelbase models get either a 3.0-litre V6 diesel - with power now boosted to 258bhp - or a 4.2-litre V8 diesel.
The MY16 Audi A8 range starts from £59,585. Prices for the A8 Sport start at £65,825 for the 3.0 TDI and rise to £76,435 for the 4.2 V8 TDI.

Ruth Jefferson says talks are still ongoing over where Cloudy Dream will be racing next in February.
Cloudy Dream has been in promising form so far this term, racking up three consecutive runner-up finishes at Aintree - on two separate occasions - and also Cheltenham.
The seven-year-old grey gelding, who last tasted success at the Jordan Electrics Ltd Future Champion Novices' Chase at Ayr in April last year, is now being lined-up for a return to competitive action next month.
With the 2018 Cheltenham Festival in March, the races leading into the coveted meeting will be crucial and Jefferson, daughter and assistant to trainer Malcolm, says there are options to where the team will go.
"He's just had a little break to freshen up but he'll be ready to run again in February," she said. "There are a few options we are looking at, without wanting to pin anything down.
"I'm sure he'll get three miles on good ground. It was very testing at Aintree that day he ran- as testing as it's been there for a while. He's got some Cheltenham (Festival) options over two and a half and three miles, so we'll see how his next run goes."

Exciting holidays for teens and their parents
Holidays coming up! But where should we go this time?
Teens want both action and relaxation during their holidays – they don’t want to be bored! And of course, a destination where people of the same age can get together and make new friends is also very important − not such an easy task for parents.
Reka has a plan for this! Spend the next school holidays in a Reka holiday home. It provides enough space for all family members to enjoy their freedom.
Reka Holiday Villages are designed to offer something exciting for every age group. The communal areas, indoor swimming pool and wide variety of activities everywhere make it easy for young people to make new friends. If the teens are happy, so are the parents!

I can easily get along with girls really well and sometimes i can flirt very well. But the second there's another guy (who's usually taller, more attractive, etc.), it's like I don't exist. It's like I'm never good enough for people. I've tried to better myself by exercising, bettering my appearance, taking up new hobbies, etc. It's a huge self-esteem crusher when I'm where I'm at the best I can be but nobody really wants me.
I don't have the Mexican advantage either. I don't fit the Latino stereotype so that immediately takes me out of the running for the few people that are interested in Latinos.
I've kinda accepted it's not gonna happen (at least for a long time) but it's getting to the point where I hate myself because of this.

15 Jun Day 53 – The PCT Breakfast
At mile 1393.6 Hiked 23.9 miles today.
I hiked an early 7 miles to the Chevron Statiion in Old Staion where I managed a limited resupply to get me to Dunesmeir. I bought 50 precooked breakfast sausages. Maybe I should start the sausage challenge. Live off sausages for 5 days of hiking. I l’ai bought stovetop stuffing and plan to use sausage with stuffing. I am inventing a new breakfast called the PCT. Porridge with Cooked Turkey sausage.
The desert came to Northern California today at Hot Creek Rim. …oops… Hat Creek Rim. Everything is relative and I have nothing to complain about. My early season desert walks in SoCal weren’t typically hot and Hat Creek Rim will be hotter for hikers that arrive later in the season.
Hat Creek Rim had to be one of the most beautiful sections of the PCT that I have experienced. One walks on a high table of lava rocks and wild flowers overlooking broad expanses of green valleys a thousand or more feet below. The trail often tracks along the edge of the table with rocky precipitous drop offs to the valley below. Wind sweeps across this open highland sweeping grasses in waves. There are a variety of wildflowers dispersed among black lava rocks in sprigs, bunches, and bouquets of every color. Volcanic mountain ranges stretch across to far side of the broad valley with the east end anchored by snow blanketed Lassen and the west anchored by Mt Shasta. Only the towering Mt Shasta disturbs the blue sky with tiny wisps of clouds forming just below the peak. As the afternoon advances these cloud wisps join and extend in a string stretching beyond Shasta.
Today I had the first trail magic of Northern California. It was a cooler full of cold drinks and snacks and oranges hanging in a tree. Thank you anonymous trail magician! Great spot to find trail magic. Hat Creek Rim is where you reallly appreciate it.
Here is Mt Shasta from Hat Creek Rim. Notice a cloud beginning to form.This is only happening to Shasta. Lassen and others didnt generate their own clouds. It’s own wether system helps keep snow on Shasta.
Here is where I could have resupplied water but didn’t. There is a stream at the bottom of this gorge. A steep trail descends 450 vertical feet rob the stream. The PCT goes around this lava rock gorge.
Often the trail follows the edge.
Here are a few examples of flowers on the Rim.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect with over $75,000 worth of outstanding warrants following a high-speed pursuit Wednesday afternoon.
Sheriff Danny Cryer said he attempted to stop 50-year-old Colen Jay Arnold, of Kingston, on the Willis Bridge on Highway 377 that runs over Lake Texoma. Officers had been trying to catch Arnold due to his large amount of outstanding warrants, dating back to 2007.
Marshall County court documents show multiple warrants under Arnold’s name for possession of a controlled substance (meth), DUI, knowingly concealing stolen property and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, among other things.
“We were trying to get him in our custody and I was able to identify him as the driver, so that’s why I initiated the stop, or the attempted stop,” Cryer said.
Arnold allegedly fled from Cryer in a high-speed pursuit that lasted about five to 10 minutes and ended with Arnold crashing into a fallen down tree.
“I was the pursuing vehicle and I was driving at 112 mph through a construction zone,” Cryer said. “The truck was still drivable but he did run it into a tree.”
Arnold allegedly took off on foot following the crash and has not yet been located. A passenger in Arnold’s vehicle, 37-year-old Rebecca Lynn Johnson, of Kingston, was allegedly found to be in possession of four grams of meth and drug paraphernalia.
Johnson was taken into custody and is currently facing misdemeanor complaints for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing an officer. Johnson’s bail is set at $5,000, according to Marshall County court documents.
Anyone with information on Colen Arnold’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office at 580-795-2221.

Muslim Scholars Face Down Fanaticism
By Aicha Lemsine
The terrible April 19 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, with its searing images of bloodied children and battered adults against a background of debris, is even more terrible if we remember that similar scenes are repeated regularly in places like Rwanda, Bosnia and Algeria. Wherever it occurs, terrorism is a product of fanaticism, whether cultural, religious or political. The only difference in Oklahoma City is that Americans, to their horror, found that this time the threat was not "red" or "green," but "white." The monster of murderous extremism lives in America as well.
At the end of the 20th century, it is often said that the world is growing together. True, but the sophisticated satellite communications and speed-of-sound jet travel which the global village relies upon are value-neutral; CNN educates but it also propagates images of violence and mayhem. Nor has technology made human beings better. The age of laser surgery and heart transplants is also the era of "ethnic cleansing" and truck bombs.
Wherever it occurs, terrorism is a product of fanaticism.
The passing of the Cold War was supposed to mark the "end of history" and the advent of a safer, more secure world. What happened instead was a profusion of local and regional conflicts, civil wars and ethnic tensions. The rapid growth of religious fundamentalism—Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Hindu—seems to mark a worldwide trend toward exclusionary politics based on the persecution of women and ethnic or religious minorities.
Faced with this bleak picture, the only solution is a program of education in the ways of peace, rather than conflict. There is a growing movement among scholars, clergy and laypersons toward religious dialogue and trialogue among the three great monotheistic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This kind of exchange closes the door on retrograde and isolationist attitudes by reaffirming the common bonds which unite these religions.
At the same time, scholars struggle to undo racial, ethnic and cultural misunderstandings by studying fundamentalist movements, not to condemn them outright but to understand them. Ultimately, these historians, philosophers, theologians and writers seek knowledge in order to lower tensions and dilute the appeal of extremism. The phenomenon of "Islamic fundamentalism" is thus a matter of great interest to two Washington, DC-area Muslim scholars concerned with relations between Islam and the West.
A Spiritual Tack
One of the pre-eminent commentators on the manifestation of spiritual forces within the Islamic tradition is Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a theologian, philosopher and Sufi master who is a professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University. Nasr believes that fundamentalist movements are a break with traditional Islam because their recourse to violence contradicts Islam's ethic of peace and harmony. He points out that millions of Muslims condemn terrorist actions committed in the name of Islam.
Nasr believes the tools to counter fanaticism lie within Islam and with the Muslims. "Today, hope is manifested in Muslim intellectuals who are intelligent, pious and who are in the process of rethinking Islam in the face of the challenges of modernity," Nasr told the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. This group of thinkers is working within the framework of Islam, which has a long tradition of tajdid (renewal) and islah (reform) based on internal sources. "They look at the question from the opposite direction than those Muslim intellectuals who are fascinated by secularism and who attempt to bring Western solutions to Muslim problems. Such intellectuals have no ties with the popular masses," he adds.
Nasr, who has written extensively on Sufism, the centuries-old mystical tradition of Islam, believes spiritual growth is essential for an Islamic reawakening. "The Islamic intellectual renewal is impossible without the renewal of Sufism in its intellectual, metaphysical and spiritual dimensions," he believes. "The faith and spirit of openness among intellectuals is both the principal force and the surest path for the revival of Islam in a contemporary setting," Nasr says.
Nasr's emphasis on faith and spirituality also has ramifications for interfaith relations and ties among Jews, Christians and Muslims. Spiritual understanding is at the heart of all of the revealed religions, he feels. "It is why I defend other religions," Nasr declares. "They are our friends in this confrontation with those who reject the transcendence which represents the very basis of human history."
The Political Dimension
Those interfaith bonds are sometimes strained by political differences, however. A number of American and European scholars have tried to minimize the damage by acting as a bridge for discussion between the Muslim and Western worlds. Perhaps the best example of this approach is the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University. Scholars like center director John Esposito, Yvonne Haddad, Fathi Osman and John Voll work to interpret Islam for Americans—and America for Muslims. These efforts, grounded in intelligent inquiry and tolerance, are designed to demythologize the "green peril" which some in the U.S. and Europe insist is menacing the very foundations of Western civilization. Dialogue with groups and individuals across the Islamic spectrum is essential to this task, many American scholars believe.
Other American academics, however, argue that while dialogue is important, it is also important not to confuse "Islamism" with "Islam." The latter should be approached as a partner in discussion, but the former should be combatted with all available means, according to analysts like Daniel Pipes and Khalid Duran. It is a controversial position.
Khalid Duran was born in Spain of Hispano-Moroccan Muslim parents. He is a cosmopolitan "scholar-at-large" who has studied not only sociology and Oriental languages in Europe but also Islamic theology in Pakistan. He has taught in a number of universities in Asia, Africa and Europe, and brings a wealth of personal contacts and experience to his writing. He speaks not only English, French, Spanish and German, but also Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Turkish.
In an interview with the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs,, Duran defended his views and his friend, Daniel Pipes. "First of all, neither Dr. Pipes nor myself are 'anti-Arab devils'! My colleague sincerely cares about the Arab world, in which he has numerous friends," Duran says of Pipes. "He is not an 'agent of Israel,' as rumor might have it. If he is a pro-Israel hard-liner, he is also someone who always pleaded the case for a pro-Iraqi policy, because he is convinced that Iran is the more dangerous threat," Duran notes. "He is assuredly anti-Islamist, but certainly not against Islam or anti-Arab!"
Although our views on political Islam may differ, I share Duran's experience of meeting and talking with Islamists and their leaders on their own terms, in their own countries. Working on my book Ordalie Des Voix, I had the opportunity to interview Omar Tlemsani, the late head of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood; Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah of Lebanon, the spiritual leader of the Hezbollah; and Hassan al-Turabi, the influential Sudanese law professor and Islamist activist, among others.
In the course of my travels I also met an Islamic thinker unlike the rest: Sudan's Mahmud Muhammad Taha, the leader of the Republican Brotherhood, a small party with a liberal and secularist interpretation of Islam. Taha's revolutionary vision of Islam angered many traditionalists, and he was tried "as an enemy of God" and executed in 1985 by the government of then-Sudanese President Jaafar Numayri, whose minister of justice at the time was none other than Hassan al-Turabi.
Khalid Duran was personally acquainted with both the late Mahmud Muhammad Taha, whom he admires profoundly and refers to as "al-Ustadh" ("the Teacher"), and Hassan al-Turabi, whom he despises. An outspoken critic of Islamism, which he compares to European fascism, Duran says his views are the product of his own experiences. "In the 1960s I was a professor in West Germany, and acted as the secretary-general of the Muslim community. In the Islamic cultural center—which was there as a result of the government—I taught Arabic and the rudiments of the ritual prayer to immigrants, most of them North Africans," Duran says.
"In 1964 we were invaded by Islamist students—all from Middle Eastern countries like Syria, Iraq and Egypt—who proclaimed that the Islam we taught and practiced in this center was not "true" Islam. There were fights between them and the immigrant workers who refused their diktats, to the point that the authorities closed the center. It was then that I began to study European fascism in an attempt to understand this Islamist phenomenon which I had discovered in its most brutal, violent and reactionary form there in Germany," according to Duran.
"I discovered the similarities between the first Muslim Brothers and European fascist ideology," Duran says. "[Muslim Brotherhood founder] Hassan al-Banna was a great admirer of these supremacist movements. He probably didn't understand the consequences of the racism of this ideology, but he was fascinated by the system of leadership. The only difference is that for the German fascists it was a question of race, while for the Muslim Brotherhood it became a question of religion."
A More Tolerant Side of Islam
Duran saw a more tolerant side of Islam in the 1950s when he studied with an imam of the Great Mosque of Sarajevo who happened to be the father of the future prime minister of Bosnia, Haris Silajdzic. "The Islam of the Bosnians is the ideal!" he exclaims. Duran says Islamism has not succeeded in Bosnia because the country's thinkers are intellectually advanced and Bosnian Islam is suffused with Sufism, which is based on the heart, the soul and the spirit. Despite the murderous genocide visited upon Bosnian Muslims, non-Bosnian Islamists have had no success fishing in these troubled waters, according to Duran. At the same time, he recognizes that if the fighting continues, so do the "risks that the pacific Muslim community in Bosnia could succumb to the Islamist virus."
What of the "Islamic threat" which some observers say confronts the West? "I don't really believe that Islamism will be a threat of the same magnitude as the Soviet Union was in the past," Duran says, though he adds, "In their pamphlets—especially those from Iran—they are very happy to be perceived as a threat.
"I sincerely believe that Islamism is very dangerous—not for the West, as some think—but for Islam itself and for the millions of Muslims in the world," Duran says. "What can the Islamist movements give to the Muslims if not violence, hate and psychological damage? They render Islam guilty in Western eyes and divide the Muslims among themselves. What have they brought to Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Palestine and Algeria if not hate?" he asks.
Duran—a "one-hundred-percent Muslim" as he says in response to some Islamists who falsely claim he is a Jew who "converted" to Islam for sinister goals—is a strong yet realistic advocate of secularism in the Muslim world. "Secularism will be the solution for those Muslim countries which contain other religious minorities," he says. "But because secularism is perceived as 'the religion of atheism,' it seems to me it will be difficult to promote it as a panacea. But by taking traditional-classical Islam and rethinking it using modern intellectual tools, one can produce a concrete alternative to the supremacist ideology" of the Islamists, Duran believes.
Duran seems to echo Seyyed Hossein Nasr when he declares that "Islam has all the intellectual and scientific references to meet the challenge of the modern world. Islamic radicalism is foreign to Islam, not only because it is an act of violence, but because it is foreign to the theology of Islam," Duran believes. He points to the "new interpretation" by Islamism of various Qur'anic passages and several hadith, or reports of the words and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, concerning the meaning and importance of jihad. "That is why it is essential to combat and demystify their discourse; that is the duty of the sincere Muslim."
Hopes for Dialogue?
Must there be combat between Islamists, traditionalists and modernists, or is there room to engage the Islamists in dialogue? Duran says blame for the lack of constructive exchange lies with "the Islamists themselves, who refuse any ideas but their own. When they decide to play the game of dialogue, they are also burning bridges. Look at Turabi: he tells the Western media what they want to hear but in practice he implements a program for society that is one of the most obscurantist and one of the cruelest in regard to human rights. We think back to Khomeini speaking from his refuge in France about human rights for the Iranian people—he was welcomed by even the leftist intellectuals in Iran as a liberator—but he ended by arresting and killing them and plunging Iran into the depths of fear and oppression," Duran argues. "The problem is not to listen to [Islamists'] ideas but to judge them by their actions, which at the moment are based on violence and religious supremacism." Duran is nothing if not a man of firm beliefs.
Muslim thinkers like Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Khalid Duran are engaged in a fundamental rethinking of their religious heritage and teachings. Their provocative arguments are an example of the flowering of Islamic thought outside the Islamic world and the innovative philosophical ideas coming from Muslim intellectuals in the West. The arguments which they put forward vary considerably, yet they all are designed to meet the challenges of a 21st century where religious and political extremism—whether in the Middle East or the American Midwest—seem to be on the rise.

LET US HELP YOU WITH RELAPSE PREVENTION TECHNIQUES AND COPING SKILLS. LET’S FIGHT THE BATTLE TOGETHER. I HAVE BEEN HELPING PEOPLE SINCE 2001.
Alcoholism/Drug Addiction is a chronic relapsing/remitting disease that is frequently unrecognized and untreated, in part because of the partial efficacy of treatment. Only approximately one-third of patients remain abstinent and one-third have fully relapsed one year after withdrawal from alcohol, with treated patients doing substantially better than untreated. The partial effectiveness of strategies for prevention and treatment, and variation in clinical course and side effects, represent a challenge and an opportunity to better understand the neurobiology of addiction. The strong heritability of alcoholism suggests the existence of inherited functional variants of genes that alter the metabolism of alcohol and variants of other genes that alter the neurobiologies of the reward system, executive cognitive function, anxiety/dysphoria, and neuronal plasticity. Each of these neurobiologies has been identified as a critical domain in the addictions.

I'm new to the forum but I come seeking some advice about what I should do in regards to rebuilding the 350 in my '95 K series Suburban. Please feel free to comment if I say anything ignorant. After researching a little I believe the truck has an L05 model 350 because GM didn't implement the Vortec motors until 96. What I'm curious about is the top end of the motor. As soon as it is financially available to do so I'm looking into rebuilding the top end of the motor in hopes of getting more MPG and a little performance boost. The original motor is still in the truck 230,000 miles later. It still runs fine due to good maintenance, but it's far from stellar in performance and also usually gets single digits in MPG. I plan on getting this top end kit from Summit Racing:
Summit Racing SME-K-355-400 - Summit Racing® Top End Engine Kits for Small Chevy - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Obviously with this kit I would be dropping the TBI setup and switching to a carburetor. The old TBI setup is junk anyway, so if nothing else I'm gaining performance for roughly the same fuel economy. Thoughts?
Also, I am of the understanding that those heads should bolt up fine. But I'm not sure. I've read some things about the L05 having garbage swirl port heads? What I'm simply asking is should the bolt patterns for those heads work?
If anyone has done this swap before I would love to hear your pros and cons of it. It would be exceptionally useful information for me.
I'll also probably go ahead and replace the main bearings, cap bearings, piston rings, and all of the essential "overhaul" parts. Please note too that I'm not building a drag motor, or any high-performance engine, but just a solid street motor with normal power. Thanks for your input!

I recently had the opportunity to chat with Richard Brown AIA, founder of RBA, about a newly completed project in Portland, Oregon. The modern, yet traditionally inspired design has a reclaimed timber frame core combined with stick built spaces. Nestled along the hillside with views of Mt. Hood, Richard explained that this will be the main home for a creative couple—a modern house with traditional queues. We conversed about this project and the broader driving forces behind his architectural creativity:
What can you tell us about this project’s build site?
It’s a really beautiful site in Portland, which are getting to be rare in major cities as our population grows. This site had a home removed a few years back in anticipation of a development which never happened. There are great views to Mt. Hood and good access to sunlight. The homeowner is an avid gardener, so we intentionally sat the home into the shade away from where sun falls to leave space for gardens and a meadow area.

Premier League giants Manchester United are preparing an offer to sign Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo by paying his wage demands of £15m-a-year. The Red Devils are keen to bring back the superstar forward to Old Trafford at the end of the current season and will try to push a deal through, according to reports.
The Portuguese international left United in 2009 for a fee of £80m back then, though Dutch boss Louis van Gaal’s side were always keen to bring him back to England in case he intended to leave the Bernabeu anytime soon. The 30-year-old superstar has already won the Champions League and the La Liga title during his spell in Madrid and is considering a move away from the Spanish giants, after six years with Los Blancos.
The Daily Mirror have further added that Van Gaal’s side are now willing to page his wage demands, as well as the £90m it could possibly take to re-sign the forward.
