4Culture Announces the 2018-2019 Gallery Season
Gallery 4Culture and Storefront Media Gallery to feature new artists
4Culture showcases the work of regional and national artists in two unique spaces that are free and open to the public. We are excited to announce that artists have been selected for the upcoming Gallery 4Culture season (September 2018 through July 2019) and for the Storefront Media Gallery season (April 2018 through April 2019). Both venues issue an annual call for artists and applicants are selected through a peer panel review process.
Gallery 4Culture
Gallery 4Culture has a 39-year history of exhibiting innovative, underrepresented artists and art forms in solo and small-group shows.

Nigerian-American artist Jite Agbro presents Armor, a series of large-scale mixed-media wall hangings that explore the complexities associated with markers of status and class distinction. She draws direct inspiration from the human form and everyday objects, especially wearable accouterments.
Katherine Groesbeck
March 7-28, 2019
Opening: Thursday, March 7, 6-8pm
Before a boxer enters the ring, a cutman applies Vaseline to their face. The relationship between the cutman and the fighter is intimate, one person touching the other. Katherine Groesbeck's sculptures reflect on this exchange and similar moments—rites, rituals, and careful markings.

Closing: 1st Thursday, August 1, 6-8pm
Spontaneous and abstract, Bill Whipple's new sculptures are a departure from the viewer-activated, message-driven constructions that characterized his studio practice for the last 40 years. He now allows his material choices, primarily discarded wood and found objects, to suggest their own combinations of shape and texture.
Storefront Media Gallery
Since 2008, the Storefront Media Gallery has given artists the opportunity to present dynamic electronic works of art that enliven Seattle's urban core. Selected through a national call, video works are exhibited on four monitors with exterior directional speakers. Located adjacent to Gallery 4Culture, this street-level gallery is visible by foot, bike, car or bus to more than 20,000 people each day.
Panelists Tess Martin and Sri Prabha selected 12 artists from across the U.S. to display their work.
Julius Brown, Seattle WA
April 2018
In 2017, Julius Brown traveled to Illinois to witness the totality of the August solar eclipse. The remote location provided a magical, solitary experience, inspiring Brown to create Solarjul, an archival interpretation of the cosmic event. Each screen in this 4-channel video represents a time zone of the continental U.S. and its total length—2 minutes and 40 seconds—parallels the duration of the eclipse.
Barbara Robertson, Seattle WA

Alyse Delaney, Lafayette NJ
Santa Clara, Cuba
July 2018
Alyse Delaney recorded slow-motion footage out a tour bus window as it drove through Cuba's urban streets. The result is a multi-channel video portrait of a city and its inhabitants, but also an examination of the outsider's perspective on Cuban culture. It calls attention to and questions boundaries between resident and visitor, insider and outsider, the observed and the observer.
Emmeri Bock Seattle WA
July 2018
Emmeri Bock's video brings light to the displacement of Seattle artists due to the rise in the cost of rent and studio space brought about by unprecedented growth. The piece is a meditation on moving out–the acts of sorting through, disposing of, and packing up possessions and memories.

Neely Goniodsky, Bellevue WA
Fall 2018
Vacuum is a video installation about suburban boredom and isolation, designed to allow those who pass by to interact with it. Neely Goniodsky's animated vignettes move viewers through scenes—for example, one can get lost in a field of tall carpet or scrutinized by a bored kid in an aquarium.

Hackney Council to formally oppose Old Street roundabout plans
PUBLISHED: 14:33 03 May 2019 | UPDATED: 14:33 03 May 2019
Hackney Council will formally object to TfL's plans for a new pedestrianised public space in the middle of Old Street roundabout.
Planning officers had panned the design, which included a giant staircase for people to sit on, saying it was a "missed opportunity" to create a high-quality public space. They also said there was no management plan to avoid the antisocial behaviour the steps could bring.
On Wednesday councillors on the planning sub-committee agreed and voted down the plans.
Another major complaint was the fact the pedestrianisation of the north-western arm of the roundabout, where the Shoreditch Grind coffee kiosk stands, will see the road widened from four lanes to six on the Hackney side. To do that, the only existing subway entrance to the station in Hackney would be removed.
You may also want to watch:
Hackney's planners argue that would leave anyone wanting to head into Hoxton or Shoreditch having to cross six lanes of traffic first.
Deputy mayor Cllr Feryal Demirci said: "While we welcome the overall improvements to cycling facilities, which are much needed and long overdue, the proposals as they stand do not reflect the calls we made last year for more cycle parking, more tree planting and high quality public spaces.
"Instead, they leave Hackney residents and commuters with longer journey times and even more traffic flowing into the borough following the closure of one arm of the junction, which could have a significant economic impact on Hackney's businesses.
"We'll continue to work with Islington Council and TfL on the proposals."
Islington Council, which is set to vote on the plans this summer, has also criticised the designs.

Option to tax or not when creating a billable item
leomis shared this idea 6 years ago
Under Consideration
I would like this to function like the creation of invoices - for us to be able to say taxed or not for each line item.
the default can be the tax rule setup - there you can say already if billable items are taxed.
but would like to be able to over ride that when creating billable items.

On a recommendation from Kimmer's friend, Charlie we stopped by Laumeier Sculpture Park. We love art, and privately own about 40 pieces – mostly paintings and drawings. On this trip, however, we are really enjoying outdoor art parks. Maybe when it gets cold, we will visit a few indoor art exhibits as well.
On this particular day we dropped by, the temperature outside was nearly 100 degrees with only one bottle of water between us. These art pieces were very spread out on what seemed to be several acres of land. While we were sweating before we got to the first sculpture, we did a self guided tour and saw several of pieces we found very interesting.
This definitely worth a stop especially on a cooler day!

It Pays to be Thankful
Rebecca Rose from Minnesota wins $250 in Consolidated Credit's Thankful Photo Contest.
Getting out of debt isn't fun, but it is satisfying. This week, it also proved to be profitable for one Midwestern woman.
Rebecca Rose won $250 in Consolidated Credit's third annual Thankful Photo Contest. Rebecca says that Consolidated Credit took away her financial stress. "No other company I tried was able to work with my situation," she said. "Thank you for being there."
Rebecca shed $5,000 worth of debt by enrolling in a debt management program and she's on her way to becoming debt-free. Now, she'll receive her prize money just in time for the holidays.
"Sadly, research shows 1 in 5 Americans go so deeply into holiday debt, they can't pay it off before next year's holidays," says April Lewis-Parks, Consolidated Credit's education director. "Our goal is to share her photo as well as the other entrants to show that there is help available and not debt amount is insurmountable."
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, we hope those words are "When debt is the problem, we are the solution."
Thank you to everyone that participated this year!
Here's a gallery of everyone who's participated in our contest. We're thankful we've been able to help so many people find relief from debt!

Desire and Wonder: Essential Elements in Catechesis
April 11, 2016
One Advent, I was captivated by the phrase "Desire of Nations" in the "O Antiphons," particularly the word "desire." When I checked the etymology of the word "desire," I was intrigued to know that it is derived from the Latin de sidere, that is, "from the stars." Desire, then, is similar to the light falling from the stars; we can see the starlight but we cannot possess these ephemeral rays.

Theresa May is facing another legal challenge over their Brexit plans
The Single Market Justice Campaign says Britain joined the EEA separately from the EU – with a law in Parliament – and can therefore only leave if MPs pass another law.
If the judge agrees, the Prime Minister will have to ask the Commons to agree to triggering Article 127 of the EEA Treaty, which gives notice of the UK's intention to leave.
Brexit Secretary David Davis refused to rule out a vote on leaving the EEA when he was asked about it in the Commons by Labour MP Heidi Alexander.

Theresa May might have to hold a separate debate on leaving the single market
Once we are outside the EU, the question of whether we automatically cease to be a member of the EEA becomes a legal empty vessel
David Davis
He replied: "Once we are outside the EU, the question of whether we automatically cease to be a member of the EEA becomes a legal empty vessel.
"We will look at that. If we do propose to withdraw from the EEA, we will come back and tell the House."
Campaigners Peter Wilding and Adrian Yalland are applying for a judicial review of the Government's proposed exit from the EEA, which includes the remaining 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechenstein and Norway.
Mr Wilding and Mr Yalland argue the Government "has no mandate" to withdraw from the single market because it was not on the referendum ballot paper last June.
They argue the European Economic Area Act 1993 established EEA rights in domestic British law and insist the Act can only be repealed by a vote in Parliament.
If they are successful, the High Court will hold a separate hearing to decide whether a separate vote is legally required.
Brexit Secretary David Davis has been fielding questions on the Brexit White Paper
The EEA agreement provides for the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the single market.
The new legal row comes just a week after the Supreme Court ruled only an Act of Parliament could take the UK out of the EU.
Mr Davis also suggested Britain would pull out of the Customs Union as part of Brexit.
He was answering questions on a 77-page White Paper which fleshed out the 12 key objectives set out by the Prime Minister in last month's Lancaster House speech.
Campaigners want a separate debate on Britain's membership of the European Economic Area Government Loses Brexit Vote Appeal Tue, January 24, 2017
Britain's most senior judges ruled that Prime Minister Theresa May does not have the power to trigger the formal process Article 50 for the UK's exit from the European Union without Parliament having a say.
PA 1 of 12
Issued by the Supreme Court of (top row, from the left) Lord Neuberger, Lord Mance, Lord Kerr, Lord Sumption, (bottom row, from the left) Lady Hale, Lord Clarke, Lord Wilson and Lord Hodge, who agreed with the majority decision that the Government could not trigger Article 50 without Parliamentary approval.
The White Paper said the Government had an "open mind on how we implement new customs arrangements with the EU".
Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh asked if he would "confirm for the avoidance of doubt that we are not only leaving the EU and the single market, but definitely leaving the customs union".
Mr Davis replied that if Sir Edward "reads the rest of that chapter, he will see that we will exclude ourselves from the common commercial policy and common external tariff, which amounts to exactly what he says".

EDISON, NJ -- The college admission landscape, like so many other things in the world of education, has been plagued by uncertainty since the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the United States and the world. The global health crisis has changed the rules on almost a daily basis and caused institutions of higher education to alter their procedures and safety protocols. Some colleges and universities have opted to begin the 2020-2021 academic year with remote learning only, while others have made significant changes to their calendars.
Wardlaw+Hartridge students in the graduating Class of 2020 have endured many disappointments and difficult times since the pandemic forced closure of schools in March and prompted a stay-at-home order for much of the time since their school's Spring Break. They missed their final two months of in-person classes, saw their prom canceled and were not able to receive their diplomas and celebrate their graduation until the middle of July.
Although many W+H seniors are feeling the stress of what lies ahead as they make the transition to college life, they and their parents are thankful for the wonderful guidance they received from their school's College Counseling Office. All 58 of the school's 2020 graduates will be matriculating to a college or university. Many of the students and their parents credit Chris Teare, Director of College Counseling at Wardlaw+Hartridge, who has made quite an impact in just over a year on the job.
"Chris Teare made it a point to get to know Kallie from the day he joined the school," said Jen Schildge of Westfield, whose daughter, Kallie, will be attending Providence College. "He was patient and encouraged Kallie to discern what she really wanted from a college and helped her feel confident in her choices. Once Kallie finally had a short list to work with, Chris made us aware of the contacts and efforts he made with the schools on Kallie's behalf. It was evident that Chris had made personal connections with most of the admissions officers with whom he spoke and we were confident he was promoting Kallie as an attractive candidate for admission. Chris was easy to reach, easy to converse with, and encouraged Kallie to explore schools that were stretches as well as merely probable."
Ann Minnium of Scotch Plains, whose daughter, Judy, will be a freshman at Tulane University, agreed. Like Kallie, her daughter also applied early and received good news before the holidays.
"Mr. Teare knew Judy well and tried to help her and us in any way possible. He went above and beyond. We're lucky to have him at W+H. He's made an awesome addition to the school. He was instrumental every step of the way, identifying schools to apply to, editing the essays and completing and submitting the applications."
"Not only did Mr. Teare get to know Judy well, but he helped Judy to know herself better and channel this knowledge into making good decisions about where she would fit in and excel," added Peter Minnium, Judy's father. "Mr. Teare took the time and energy to work with the kids to discover their various facets, many of which can be hidden in a rushed process. It's the composite of these facets that needs to "fit" with a college, and so it is quite important to get it right. We do feel that Judy ended up accepting admission to the right school and Mr. Teare helped her to gain the acceptance. The school was a stretch for Judy, but Mr. Teare helped her to focus on the aspects of her CV that would appeal to the university. He also made it clear that she needed to up her game in a few areas, which she did."
Ryan Brace of Scotch Plains did not gain acceptance to his first choice via early decision, but his parents were grateful for the guidance he received at Wardlaw+Hartridge and credited the College Counseling Office with easing the friction within their family during the process. Ryan applied early action to his second choice and was accepted at the University of Michigan.
"Even though Mr. Teare was new, I was amazed at how quickly and how well he was able to assess Ryan's character, strengths and weaknesses, and how those aligned with the colleges he was interested in. Most importantly, he helped Ryan to present himself in the best possible light to colleges by being involved in helping him craft his essays and often seeking their input as to what was most important to them," Tracy Brace said.
Karen Johnson of Piscataway also was effusive in her praise of Mr. Teare and the College Counseling Office. Her family endured a very difficult year with the passing of her husband, Lee, in December. She advocated the school's dedication to beginning the conversation about college early in Upper School and appreciated how the college counselors alleviate the stress of a challenging process. Her daughter Sydney Johnson '20 will be matriculating to Princeton University.
"My daughter and our family had the pleasure of working with Chris Teare, an experience that we would not trade. Although he came into his position during my daughter's junior year, he truly took the time to learn everything he could about her. I believe that his commitment to understanding who she was inside and outside of the classroom helped him to go over and beyond for her as and advocate and a mentor. We are very grateful to him for all that he has done and we couldn't have asked for more," Karen Johnson said.
W+H students also appreciated the guidance they received from their college counselors.
"Mr. Teare helped me make the right choice," said Arun Lakshman of Westfield, who will be attending Georgetown University. "He understood who I am as a person and focused on all aspects of what I wanted out of college experience and went an extra mile by corresponding with the admissions officer at Georgetown and put forth a strong case for selecting me. His knowledge and connections with colleges helped me a lot."
"The care and support Mr. Teare has given to me and my family to guide me through my college process from the beginning to the end has been the most quintessential element to my college decision process," added Neha Mandalapu of Edison, who will be attending Northeastern University. "He always went the extra mile and strived for me to find the best institution that will allow me to successfully enable and prepare me for my future towards dental medicine. Mr. Teare did everything with precision and patience as he thoroughly guided me and my family in this confusing college process. There are simply not enough words for me to describe the amount of dedication he has put in helping through my college process. My family and I thank him for the time and effort he put for me in making the best decision possible."
The Wardlaw+Hartridge School (1295 Inman Ave., N. Edison) is Central Jersey's premier PreK-12 independent school. The campus is located near the Scotch Plains border and just five miles from downtown Westfield. It is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational day school that prepares students to lead and succeed in a world of global interconnection. Wardlaw+Hartridge provides an educational atmosphere characterized by academic challenge, support for individual excellence, diversity, and a familial sense of community.

About the award
Background of the Award
The concept of a Pou is fundamental to a Māori World view holding apart the natural forces of earth and sky with knowledge of the humanities, thereby permitting enlightenment to flood the space between with understanding.
Aronui of course describes the pursuit of the "human" factor by Tāne and encapsulated in the analogy is the intertwining of Māori and Pākehā understandings about ourselves as human beings.'
Pou Aronui Award
This award is an honorary title bestowed on suitable persons who have provided distinguished service to the humanities/aronui. It is an award that recognises contributory and dedicated service to the humanities/aronui over a sustained period.
This service is demonstrated by one or more of the following: a record of service to a national organisation or agency (this can include a professional career in an appropriate institution that did not require a research output); significant contributions to public policy in the area of humanities/aronui; and sustained public recognition or promotion of the humanities/aronui.
The Pou Aronui award was made for the first time in 2006. The recipient, Dr James Wharehuia Milroy (Ngåi Tuhoe), received his award from Hon Steve Maharey, Minisiter for Research, Science and Technology, at a ceremony in Parliament.

2-3 month rental in STT Beginning in Late May
Looking for at least 2Br and preferably 1.5-2 bath rental in STT this summer. Please PM me if you have any info. Family of 4. No pets. Would like a condo community if possible.
Your best bet might be to look on a vacation rental website.
They have to pay the VI Room Tax so there's not much chance of getting out of it. It used to be 10% but think the VI Government increased it as of January 1.
Unless someone specifies short term and their ad is for a year's lease, they very well may not respond.
www.vrbo.com, www.flipkey.com and lots of others have vacation rentals listed.
Summer is slow so you may be able to find a 3 month rental for your family of 4.
Contact Harvey at http://www.harbourbeachvillas.com/ and see if he has anything for you.;)

One magazine I always look forward to receiving is Fast Company, not only do they love the same companies as we, but their pages are chock full of ideas and real-world case studies. I find something inspiring in every issue.
But I was surprised to spot (April issue) this headline in the upper-left corner of the cover —
One Bank to Love
— and immediately thought of Vancity. But the object of Fast Company's affection this month was Triodos Bank, a Dutch bank founded in 1980 (company timeline) with a mission similar to my Vancity friends in Vancouver. Wikipedia says Triodos is a pioneer in ethical banking and that it "lends only to companies and nonprofits with social or ecological benefits."
And to prove that they follow this mantra, Triodos maintains an open database of the organizations it lends to. You can search by country and sector, or narrow your search to specific topics such as "wind farms" (see UK results below).
Search results at Triodos Bank UK for "wind farms" (link, 24 March 2010)
Relevance to Netbankers
While many negative stories have yet to run, the tide may be about to turn. The press will increasingly be looking for positive stories where banks and credit unions are helping customers and small businesses flourish. You can help by identifying individual success stories within your customer base.
Or go full bore with a searchable database of your commercial loan customers, especially those in nonprofit sectors. Naturally, this requires written consent from your clients, but if there's something in it for them (e.g., free publicity), you should get quite a few takers.
If that's a little too open, you could anonymously map commercial loan recipients (similar to the screenshot above). That would demonstrate your involvement in various communities/neighborhoods without a lengthy consent process.

A CurtainUp Review
Zomboid! (Film/Performance Project #1)
by Les Gutman
As we enter the Ontological Theater, we are met by familiar surroundings -- a stage dressed in the signature Foreman style. The only difference is that two large screen-walls have been installed, onto which identical static images of a woman's face are projected. Just as the show is to start, a crew member walks across the stage and removes a large box -- a wrapped present -- from which some of the contents drop -- seemingly by accident -- onto the floor. The crew member picks up what fell, and scrurries offstage.
It's the last "mistake" we will witness for the next hour. Shortly, the projected image becomes a moving one, and every action onstage becomes tethered inexorably to the forward motion of the filmed images and sound. As the film proceeds, the live action -- which is infatuated with donkeys (and you don't really need a greater explanation) -- is jerked into and out of its "reality".
As Foreman steps -- tiptoes would be an understatement -- into this "new" medium, it would seem he does so not in a cautious but rather a cautionary way. What is this power that the recorded message has on us? How do we overcome it? As various voices intone (and, as is Foreman's wont, repeat and repeat) miscellaneous postulations (the first asks "What if I were to postulate...Those things never under control are under control backwards...How would you deal with that?"), the live actors seem to take a cue from the screen actors, blindfolding and un-blindfolding each other. What Foreman wants to suggest, as his program notes detail, is that humans construct their own consciousness by editing what we let in. It's the tension between this instinct and the insistence of recorded information that is under examination. Or so it would seem.
There is no radical change in the essence of Foreman's work here -- just the addition of a new, higher-tech tool in its delivery. His cast is pretty anonymous -- both in terms of our familiarity with its members and the nature of its characters. His set and props, as well as Oana Botez-ban's consistent contumes, convey a somewhat ominous but ultimately harmless iconic landscape. And then there are those donkeys, which oftentimes seem the most expressive creatures around.
As is often the case with Foreman, and perhaps even more so this time, one leaves the theater wondering what has been witnessed, and only later (if lucky) starting to understand. Zomboid! remains engaging throughout, notwithstanding its lack of narrative, character development or even subject matter. Surely those donkeys are not metaphors; I suspect Mr. Foreman considers metaphors particularly opaque.

My twin sister and I live on two different continents but are incredibly close and communicative as sisters, but also artists. As well as our collaborative project negotiationofspace we are in constant dialogue about things that inspire us, provoke us and also about issues relating to being/building a career as an artist.
She is currently in her final year studying photography at Parson's New School in NYC. As part of one of her classes she must email the teacher each week in response to that week's class. Last week she forwarded me the email correspondence from this class. While the ideas discussed between my sister and Kevin are not anything new, it was very nice to read them articulated in such a clear manner, and always good to be reminded of the topics they are discussing, so I thought I'd share them with you....
From my sister:
Dear Kevin,
It happened again! Although I did better this week and on Friday morning made a mental note to write you an email and then recalled my note today. I will get better at this.
However, despite me not having a good memory on the email front I have been thinking about the discussion from Monday's class on and off throughout the week. This notion that money and/or wealth automatically negates something is worrying and dangerous. Yes, money can, in many instances, have a negative impact on individuals, but the notion that a. artists must suffer in poverty and b. collectors are boosting their own egos through buying seems outdated and quite frankly stupid. It doesn't take into account the nuances of individuals and the relationships which evolve. Throughout time there has always been those who are richer and those who are poorer and I am of the opinion that rather than creating a bigger divide through angry dismissal it is more important to encourage a honest, truthful and fair relationship between buyer and seller.
It also saddens me to hear my classmates say - 'its just who you know'. In fact it saddens me on two levels, the first being - how about making good work? Obviously I am not so naive to think this is the only thing you need, but perhaps starting here is the best thing you could do. Secondly, I suspect that those people who want to 'know' everyone will never actually know anyone. Rather than building relationships they will jump from person to person depending on whom they think is most helpful to them at the time.
I began to think about a friend's quiet and determined push towards establishing herself as an artist in London. At school she was often told that she needed to be louder, more confident and more ambitious. This used to frustrate her greatly. Overall she was confident in herself and what she wanted and definitely had ambitions. She used to complain that just because she wasn't the loudest people automatically made these assumptions. However, since her graduation two years ago has carefully and considerately introduced herself to those who can help. Most importantly however, she has built relationships and maintained them. She has sent emails, gone to performances, workshops, talks and key to all this, been physically present so she can go up to someone and shake their hand. But what sums everything up for me is that when she recently received significant government funding to develop her own work the official who allocates the funding said - 'You're written application wasn't the strongest but I had seen your work and its good'.
You have to make good work.
From her teacher in reply:
I couldn't agree more. I think people too easily dismiss situations they don't understand by blaming money or, if there's money involved, it's this way or that way, etc. I think of money as being sort of neutral, actually, a force of nature. It's just there, sometimes in heaps, sometimes scarce, but it doesn't automatically mean one thing or another.
You are right: making good work is the start. That's my feeling about this class, in fact; though I'm here to introduce everyone to the machinations of the "art machine," making good work is the best thing anyone can do to function in the machine. The most successful artists I know are rarely people with big pushy attitudes. I think pushy people gain some ground initially but only reach a certain place and can go no further--because often there is no real substance. Meanwhile, those making work with substance continue on a steady ascent. It is important at certain times to make connections but those can be very quiet. I went to school as an undergrad in the UK and understood very quickly that europeans have a much more understated approach while americans have a model of pushing, "notice me." That attitude (call it a reality TV show attitude) tends to drive me crazy but I remind myself, they generally only get so far (George Bush arguably being one big exception).
At any rate, it's better to be serious, focus on what you do, and just be sensitive to how the world works. Rather than trying to manipulate the system, I tend to ask myself, What are people's incentives? Once you understand those, it makes it easier to navigate a potentially confusing or intimidating situation.
See you tomorrow at Phillips.

A Federal Court judge ruled Wednesday that Blacklock's Reporter, an online subscriber-based media outlet, must pay the government $65,000 in costs for a lawsuit the company filed against the Department of Finance for copyright infringement — and lost.
In his nine-page summary judgment and reasons regarding costs, Justice Robert Barnes did not mince words, saying the 'fair dealing' provision in section 29 of the federal Copyright Act was "so obviously applicable" to the facts of the case that "the litigation should never have been commenced, let alone carried to trial."
Tom Korski, Blacklock's managing editor, commented on the ruling late Wednesday afternoon, saying he and publisher Holly Doan will appeal the award of costs — not the court's decision — and stand by their reasons for going to trial in the first place.
"This outrageous award of damages has no purpose but to attempt to punish Blacklock's Reporter. It will not succeed," Korski said in an email, adding that Federal Court costs are "routinely levied in the $5,000 range."
"The Department of Finance knowingly distributed our copyright works without payment, permission or licensing agreement of any kind. They couldn't even be bothered denying it. That's why we went to trial, and would do it again."
Blacklock's — a news service that covers politics, committees and bills — took Finance to court over distribution of two of its paywall-protected articles within the department. Korski and Doan claimed $17,816 in damages. The trial occurred over a week in September, during which the two journalists argued that their company's survival depends on respect of the paywall model.
Justice Barnes dismissed the case in November, calling the senior Finance official's distribution of the articles "minor and discrete" and saying the distribution was done "for a proper research purpose." He said he was satisfied the government department had "legitimate concerns about the fairness and accuracy" of the articles in question, and that Finance's use of the articles constituted fair dealing — a user's right to access copyrighted material for purposes such as research, education, review and criticism.
"The Court's ruling essentially says, if shopkeepers can't put up with a degree of shoplifting, too bad for retailers," Korski said Wednesday. "And if independent news media can't put up with copyright ripoffs, too bad for reporters."
Justice Barnes reserved judgment on the issue of costs in his November ruling. He significantly reduced the amount of the expenses claimed by the government's counsel — $115,702.30 — expenses Korski said he takes issue with.
"The Department of Justice costs included the expense of forcing six Parliamentary Press Gallery reporters who'd written for Blacklock's to submit to questioning on their professional practices, billings and invoices," he wrote.
"The Department of Justice also put six people on its witness list at a week-long trial, including an executive with the CBC. Two of the government witnesses, including the CBC manager, did not even testify. We called two witnesses."
In his judgment on costs, Justice Barnes said he rejected Blacklock's argument that the lawsuit raised "strong public interest considerations."
"Rather, this case was about the Plaintiff's attempt to recover disproportionate damages without any apparent consideration to the legal merits of the claim or to the costs that it imposed on the taxpayers of Canada," he wrote.
Blacklock's, which launched in 2012, has filed more than a dozen lawsuits against other federal government departments and agencies in both the federal and Ontario superior courts. On March 3, 2016, the Federal Court imposed a stay of proceedings for nine other actions Blacklock's filed against six federal government departments and three Crown corporations and agencies, pending the outcome of the lawsuit against the Department of Finance.
Doan confirmed Wednesday the stays remain in place until the first week of January and that she and Korski intend to proceed with "one or more" of the stayed cases — as well as with a new application they filed against Environment Canada in Federal Court on November 28.
"It appears certain federal officials can hardly wait to put the boots to independent Canadian media," Korski wrote. "They picked the wrong victim."
Blacklock's already successfully sued the Canadian Vintner's Association in Small Claims Court for breach of copyright last year. That court awarded the news outlet $13,470.
The Federal Court's ruling on costs comes on the same day Blacklock's Wikipedia page was edited from within the Federal Court of Canada and Shared Services Canada.
Other tweets from the @gccaedits Twitter account show similar activity from the same departments on November 30 and December 5.

SINGAPORE - The strong Singapore dollar has hit the bottom line of both Far East Hospitality Trust and Ascendas Hospitality Trust.
Far East saw reduced spending by overseas visitors, who got fewer Singdollars for their home currencies. At Ascendas, foreign currency earnings fell.
The distribution per stapled security (DPS) at Far East Hospitality Trust fell 6.5 per cent to 1.16 cents for the three months ended June 30.
Income available for distribution was S$20.8 million, down 5.7 per cent, while net property income was S$26.0 million, down 2.3 per cent. Gross revenue fell 3 per cent to S$28.7 million.
"Demand for accommodation was muted, as firms stayed prudent in their corporate travel spending, and leisure travellers from some major markets were affected by the relatively strong Singdollar," said Mr Gerald Lee, the chief executive of FEO Hospitality Asset Management, which manages the real estate investment trust (Reit).
Gross revenue fell because of an influx of new hotel rooms and softer demand in the hotel and serviced residences market, said the trust.
Earnings per stapled security for the quarter came to 0.91 cent, up from 0.86 cent a year ago. Net asset value per stapled security was 96.55 cents at June 30, up from 96.97 cents at Dec 31.
Muted demand for corporate and leisure travel could persist, given economic uncertainties and the fairly strong Singdollar, said the trust.
Ascendas Hospitality Trust fared slightly better. Its DPS for the quarter was up 3.2 per cent from a year ago at 1.28 cents. Income available for distribution rose 9.5 per cent to S$15 million.
These increases came about in spite of a fall in earnings and were due to lower expenses and the absence of an unwinding cost that the trust had incurred in the previous year, the trust said.
Net property income was S$21.4 million, down 0.9 per cent, while gross revenue was $52.8 million, down 2.7 per cent.
The trust said that the underlying performance of the portfolio hotels outside China had improved by $3.1 million over the same quarter last year but this was more than offset by the weaker Australian dollar andYen against the Singdollar.
On the other hand, the weaker underlying performance of the China hotels was compensated by a stronger yuan against Singdollar, it said.
Earnings per stapled security for the three months rose to 1.09 cents from 0.86 cents the previous year. Net asset value per stapled security was $0.71 at June 30, down from $0.74 at March 31 this year.
The trust said the tourism sector in Australia is expected to remain healthy in the near term, a positive for its Australian portfolio. On the other hand, the China tourism sector is also likely to remain challenging as the austerity drive and increased competition would likely impede growth.
It also said that the Japan tourism sector would continue to benefit from pro-tourism government initiatives.

In my family we have a classic chocolate fudge recipe. I have no idea where it came from (if I did, I would credit the original recipe here), but it is good stuff! Even though we traditionally have it at Christmas-time, I sometimes cheat and make it in other seasons as well.
A couple months ago I decided to mix it up a bit, and I came up with this new cinnamon orange fudge recipe - it turned out pretty well! It has just the right amount of spice to it - I think it would be especially appropriate for the fall or Christmas season. Even though I'm posting it in January. Just pretend this is a few months ago.
Cinnamon Orange Fudge
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
10 oz. bag cinnamon flavored chips
1/2 bag mini marshmallows
1 tsp orange extract
2/3 cups walnuts (optional)
1. Grease a 8x8 baking dish and set aside.
2. Mix together sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Bring to a boil - once mixture is boiling, let it boil untouched for 5 minutes.
4. After five minutes, remove from heat and stir. Add cinnamon chips and stir until melted (don't freak out of they don't seem to be mixing in well at first, just keep beating mixture until smooth).
5. Quickly stir in 1/2 bag of mini marshmallows until they are melted and mixture is smooth (this takes some elbow grease - your arm will probably get tired).
6. Add in orange extract and walnuts (if desired).

Woolly bears, the caterpillar form of the Tiger Moth, are a well-known sign of spring in North America. These charmingly fluffy caterpillars can be raised to adults at home as an educational project for children, or simply for aesthetic pleasure. You will need to provide your caterpillars with a solid habitat, feed them, and then release them into the wild once they turn into moths.
Part 1 of 3:
Providing the Right Habitat
1Use the right container. You can safely keep a woolly bear caterpillar in a clear plastic jar, like a mason jar. The jar should have a lid to prevent the caterpillar from escaping. You can also use a cardboard box.[1] X Research source
- You should punch small holes on the lid. You can also use a mesh lid. It's important for the jar to have some air circulation.
2Provide twigs. Your caterpillar will need a twig to build a cocoon. Place a small twig or branch from outside in the caterpillar's jar. Angle the branch in a diagonal fashion, as this will allow the caterpillar to climb onto it when it's ready to build its cocoon.[2] X Research source
3Clean the container regularly. Each day, you will notice the caterpillar has left droppings in the container. These should be cleaned out regularly. You can move the caterpillar out of the container and use a tissue paper to wipe up droppings.[3] X Research source
4Keep the container outside. Woolly bear caterpillars need a cold environment to thrive. You should keep the container in a secure location outdoors. Something like a garage or shed near your house is a safe place to keep your caterpillar.[4] X Research sourceAdvertisement
0 / 0
Part 1 Quiz
Why should you put twigs in your wooly bear caterpillar's container?
Part 2 of 3:
Feeding Your Caterpillar
1Provide plants from where you found your caterpillar. Caterpillars will do best feeding off their original host plants. Remove some of the leaves and plants from where you found your caterpillar. Place them in the caterpillar's container.[5] X Research source
- For example, if you found your caterpillar on a tree in your yard, remove leaves from that tree of your caterpillar's home.
2Feed your caterpillar leaves. Caterpillars can benefit from eating leaves from outdoors. If you find leaves on the ground, bring them in from outdoors. Scatter them on the bottom of your caterpillar's container. Green and dry leaves can both work. You should feed your caterpillar leaves daily.[6] X Research source
3Add flowers and grasses. Caterpillars also eat flowers and grass, so bring those in from outdoors as well. Things like dandelions, grass, plantains, and burdock can be great to help a caterpillar thrive. Provide fresh flowers daily.[7] X Research source
4Mist the cage regularly. Wooly Bear Caterpillars do not need a water container and it can actually be a drowning hazard. However, misting the environment is important. Each day, use a spray bottle to mist the bottom of the container. Small droplets of water can help a Wooly Bear Caterpillar stay hydrated.[8] X Research sourceAdvertisement

Part 2 Quiz
Why is it important to mist your caterpillar's container every day?
Part 3 of 3:
Releasing Your Caterpillar
1Place dead leaves in the container during winter. When winter comes, add dead leaves to the caterpillar's container. This will allow the caterpillar somewhere warm to sleep during the colder months. Eventually, the caterpillar will build a cocoon, but it will not do so until spring. It's important to keep your caterpillar warm over the winter.[9] X Research source
2Move the container indoors when your caterpillar builds its cocoon. In the spring, you will notice your caterpillar will stop moving and take to its branch. Eventually, it will build a cocoon. Once the caterpillar has built a cocoon, it is safe to bring it inside. You will be able to better observe the moth inside.[10] X Research source
3Feed the moth when it emerges. Before the moth emerges, provide extra twigs in the container. You should also add fresh flowers. As you will not be releasing the moth for a few days, it will need these food sources.[11] X Research source
4Release the moth after two days. You can enjoy your moth for a few days after it emerges. Observe the moth in its container and watch it feed on leaves and grass. If you have young children, this can be a great learning experience. However, after a few days, you should release the moth outdoors near where you found it. A moth cannot comfortably live in a small container the same way a caterpillar can.[12] X Research sourceAdvertisement

Part 3 Quiz
A wooly bear caterpillar will make a cocoon during what season?
Community Q&A
QuestionCan you put grass in the container?Community AnswerDefinitely. Caterpillars often have trouble getting around on smooth materials, such as glass or plastic. Place many leaves from where you found them and twigs all around the container, with grass at the bottom. If no grass is available, I suggest a paper towel at the bottom so the caterpillar can walk across easily. Do not try to put your caterpillar at the top if he has crawled under the grass or paper towel, though. He may be trying to stay warm.
QuestionHow can I find one in the wild?Community AnswerIn September-November (mostly in October), just look around. One will turn up in a garden, crossing the street, or crawling in a lawn.
QuestionWhat would you feed the woolly bear in winter? Would lettuce leaves work?Community AnswerTry spinach.
QuestionCan I have 3 in a large container together if I found them together?Community AnswerYes. Woolly bears are very social and enjoy being kept in small groups like this.
QuestionI found a caterpillar when it fell out of my Christmas tree. It was inside for weeks, and too cold to put it outside. It is now in a box in its cocoon. What should I do now?Community AnswerYour caterpillar will surely hatch when it's ready. If it survived in your Christmas tree through Christmas, then surely the temperature of your home near where the Christmas tree is/was is the ideal place to keep the box with the cocoon. As long as it can breathe with ventilation, it should hatch normally, but depending on the caterpillar, that could take 4 to 8 months.
QuestionAfter it appeared to go into hibernation, I left my woolly bear in a plastic container with breathing holes in it in my woodshed over winter. It never woke up in the spring. What did I do wrong?Community AnswerThe woolly bear probably got extremely cold. They usually go under leaf piles or logs to keep themselves warm during winter. It could also have woken up late. They dehydrate themselves and their circulatory system produces a cryoprotectant, which freezes the tissues solid and prevents any water from freezing in their body. As winter conditions continue, the caterpillars hibernate and stay frozen like this.
QuestionWill it die in the house?Community AnswerNo, Your controlled-temperature house is a suitable environment for them so long as their habitat is correct like shown in the steps above.
QuestionHow do I keep them from drying out in the winterCommunity AnswerYou can spray the inside of their enclosure every other day or so. This will allow your caterpillar to drink, stay moist enough, prevent overheating etc. If you spray too much, you can kill it though, so be careful.
QuestionWill my caterpillar die if I don't feed it?Community AnswerYes, they are living creatures and they will die of starvation if they don't eat.
QuestionDo caterpillars like to be in jars?Community AnswerNot as much as they would probably enjoy being outside, but they most likely enjoy it somewhat. However, I would recommend keeping them in a larger container.
- Don't touch the newly hatched moths, as their wings could be damaged. If they are damaged, they could easily die or become crippled.Thanks!

About This Article
To care for a woolly bear caterpillar, keep it in a sealable container that has holes in the lid for air circulation. You should also put an upright twig in the container so your caterpillar has something to make a cocoon on. Since woolly bear caterpillars need to be in the cold to survive, keep the container somewhere outdoors. To feed your caterpillar, put plants, leaves, flowers, and grasses from the area where you found it into the container. Also, mist the inside of the container with water every day so your caterpillar stays hydrated. To learn how to release a woolly bear caterpillar after it emerges as a moth, scroll down!

Thousands of years before the maize-based agriculture practiced by many Native American societies in eastern North America at the time of contact with Europeans, there existed a unique crop system only known through archaeological evidence. There are no written or oral records of how these lost crops were cultivated, but several domesticated subspecies have been identified in the archaeological record. Growth experiments and observations of living progenitors of these crops can provide insights into the ancient agricultural system of eastern North America, the role of developmental plasticity in the process of domestication, and the creation and maintenance of diverse landraces under cultivation. In addition, experimental gardens are potent tools for public education, and can also be used to conserve remaining populations of lost crop progenitors and explore the possibility of re-domesticating these species.

'The Beav' is my buddy's nickname. He is a funny guy and good humored. We have been partnered together on a month long training course that ends this weekend. We have eaten together, drunk together, taken daily walks together and gone to the gym together. We have had a really good time with each other and now the end is nigh, so we went big on some wine purchases last night. He picked this one because the label was so cool. Little did he know how good it was going to be.
A blend of Padthaway Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that have melded together beautifully and have integrated a lovely oak presence with some well crafted tannins. Dark red in the glass and showing black fruits on the nose. The taste was of black currants, blackberry and dark plums. Some mocha and chocolate powder popped out on the back end and the mouthfeel was exceptional. The structure of this wine was great, balanced and easy to drink. We happened to have a bunch of cheese and salami at the time but it would go well with Tenderloin or perhaps a roasted Cornish Hen. I thoroughly enjoyed this 91 point wine that the Beav paid $27 for making it a 5 star wine in my books. Salut….
