3/29: Eiko & Koma perform modern dance in Tempe
- The Japanese duo have won numerous awards during their decades-long careers in modern dance.
- They describe their work as "stark%2C infused with relentless stillness that subverts and transcends our everyday notions of time and space."
When Eiko and Koma perform, time slows down. With their skin painted white, they inch like glaciers in surroundings inspired by nature, their bodies twisting and contorting on a stage covered in leaves, feathers, burned cloth and even salt.
The Japanese duo's work in contemporary dance, which spans four decades and has garnered major accolades, is experimental and raw. They describe it as "stark, infused with relentless stillness that subverts and transcends our everyday notions of time and space."
They're bringing their art to the Valley with two performances, one outdoors at the ASU Deer Valley Rock Art Center and another at ASU Gammage.
"Eiko & Koma: Regeneration" at ASU Gammage is composed of three of their past works: "Raven," from 2010; "Duet," from 2004; and "White Dance" from 1976, their first piece. The show contains nudity.
"It's such an old piece, performing it now makes it very new," Eiko said. "The 'now' is emphasized as much as 'then' is emphasized. 'Then' and 'now' connect strongly."
Revisiting their first work nearly 40 years later is characteristic of their interest in time, Eiko said, both metaphysically and literally.
"Our bodies are very different now," Eiko said, laughing. "When I made that piece I was only 23, which is like a kid.
"It's interesting to be holding this, especially in a place for young people, at a college, so when people know Eiko was only 23 when she made this, all of a sudden ... I'm not that old person that they see me as who I am now."
Eiko and Koma are revered in the world of modern dance. They have received a MacArthur Fellows Program "genius grant," the Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement and more.
They are married, and they choreograph and perform exclusively together, creating their own sets and costumes.
"It certainly has been collaboration in such a way that we kind of forget who's who," Eiko said. "By the time we have been working for so long, we sometimes forget whose idea this was."
Differences in strengths and opinions are like yin and yang.
"I'm much more comfortable, I'm more continuous, but Koma is more of the unknown. ... I'm much more like, 'OK, the movement is more linear'; he's much more existential.
"In other words, he's more unreasonable and sometimes I'm more reasonable," she said, laughing.
Their dynamic has evolved over the decades, she said, but they remain equals.
Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, executive director for ASU Gammage, first saw Eiko and Koma in New York City in the early '80s.
"I really loved their concept of movement and their concept of how they integrate time and nature into the work they do," she said. "I find it thoughtful, I find it intriguing and somewhat hypnotic, but it's very soulful.
"It says to me that what we need to do, at times, is just sit still and really be attentively present. In this day and age where someone's talking to you, they're texting or they're driving a car and texting or doing what they think is multitasking, it gives you a sense of grounding yourself."
Jennings-Roggensack's background is in modern dance, but she insists that even someone with no knowledge of the art could appreciate the performance.
"They will take away a visit to a different universe," she said. "I won't even say a different place but a different universe through their work."

Artist: Arktau Eos
Title: Mirrorion
Release date: June, 2006
Catalog# AHB04
Format: BOX SET
Title: Mirrorion
Release date: June, 2006
Catalog# AHB04
Format: BOX SET
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of Arktau Eos is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work.
As the title suggests, 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of crystalline, spectral ambience. Ultimately, 'Mirrorion' seeks to surpass such earthly definitions in favour of a non-dual vision of reality, hopefully transforming the listener in the process.
For this recording Arktau Eos have favoured an organic approach with majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones, accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of stringed instruments.
The album comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies.
The 'Mirrorion' box set includes: 'Mirrorion' CD, 'Scorpion Milk' CD-R, two exclusive insert cards, a black mirror enriched with unique automatic drawings. The box set comes in a white cloth bag, sealed with a metal clip.
The box is numbered and limited to 80 copies. Moreover, an extremely limited, undisclosed number of out-of-series editions are distributed secretly.

Jamaican deejay Tippa Lee – currently based in the U.S – has collaborated with talented producer and mixing engineer Tom Chasteen, who is also running Dub Club in Los Angeles.
Now the pair has an album out on Stones Throw Records and it's a bona fide killer with its tasty and excellent relicks of a number of immortal riddims, including a murderous cut of the lethal Drum Song riddim.
Cultural Ambassador and its dub version Dub Them With Reality are all about culture, consciousness and sound system skills. Tippa Lee started deejaying at the tender age of twelve and dropped his first single in the early 80s. He hasn't been particularly prolific and this is actually his solo debut following combination sets with Rappa Robert and Toyan in the 80s and early 90s.
And when listening to this stunning set it's a pity he hasn't spent more time in the studio because he has a majestic flow and is also a gifted lyricist paying respect to his peers from the early days.
Judging by the artists joining Tippa Lee on this album it's clear that he's a force to be reckoned with. Cornell Campbell, Tony Tuff, Bionic Clarke and Sister Nancy all grace this album with their skills.
"Kill them with reality, a with reality, teach them reality… and all slackness deejay them have to run away" states Tippa Lee on the title track and that's the essence of this set.
Cultural Ambassador (Deluxe Version) is currently available as digital download. It collects both albums mentioned above. A vinyl edition of Dub Them With Reality has also been released, while the vocal part will be put out on May 20.

Day: December 31, 2016
2016: In MemoriamStandard
My sister is the keeper of celebrity deaths and news on her Facbook. This is her end of year list of all of them for 2016. There were so many as we've all noted througout the year; if there are any missing from this list, please add them in the comments.
The Good…Standard
I think we've coverd the bad, and the ugly for this year.
After this post, I'll have two more – one from my sister on the celebrities who've died this year, and one from Vox on the political stories and the end of year summaries. There will possibly be one last post right on the cusp of 2017 or very close to it, and then…it's a new year! A happy one to all of you. Be creative. Be kind. Be you.
Here are some of the good that happened for me and my family in 2016: Continue reading
Those We LostAudio
I was going to write a post about how much of my childhood I lost this past year. It seemed that every other day a new name was being memorialized on my television, on my Facebook, on my heart.
Our family lost my mother-in-law and a close family friend. My friend lost her father. Another friend lost his grandmother.
We will always continue to find inspiration somewhere, but that doesn't make any of these losses, family or celebrity, any easier.
Death is a part of life, and with the turning of the calendar page, 2016 passes away, and 2017 is born.
We Lost a lot of Progressive Artists
Generation X Lost too many Touchstones
We Lost Carrie Fisher and so Many OthersRemembering Those We've Lost
Timeline of Celebrity Deaths – 2016
On the 6th Day of Christmas, My True Love gave to Me:Standard
…more snow, a Walking Dead marathon on AMC, and a New Year to be better in.
Tonight we'll look back and collect our thoughts, gather our prayers, and look forward. 2017 is less than fourteen hours away, and the work's not done. 2016 was extraordinarily difficult for several of us, and 2017 won't miraculously be easier, but it will be, and so we need to be open to it.
Are you open to it?

Over 350 SAG-AFTRA performers and their supporters picketed Warner Bros.' WB Games unit Thursday in Burbank, marching under a blazing sun along a residential street in the shadow of the studio's famed water tower and shouting chants that included "Death screams are on strike!" The union's video game job action edged into its third week with no resolution in sight.
The picketers, who included actors responsible for voicing the death screams, creature noises and battle cries of such top games as the Batman: Arkham series, as well as those who do performance-capture work for such games, are focused on a handful of issues, notably a proposal for residual-like back-end compensation. The companies have refused that demand, and both sides are dug in.
"We are not going anywhere until we get a fair contract," said union national executive director David White at a rally that concluded the hour-and-a-half picketing. In a statement read at the rally, SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris, who is in Miami — where the union has been attempting to unionize Telemundo — blasted the current, now-expired deal as a "substandard 20-year-old contract."
"[The strike] is going to settle when the video game companies and their lawyer are willing to sit down and get to a fair contract," said SAG-AFTRA executive vp Rebecca Damon in an interview. "It's a billion-dollar industry, and they don't want to share any of the profits. They don't treat any of their workers right."
Some of those other workers do get back-end compensation, though, such as stock options or bonuses. But Damon and others complained that the companies and their chief negotiator, entertainment labor attorney Scott Witlin of Barnes & Thornburg, devalue performers. JB Blanc, who voiced master villain Bain in one of the Arkham games, told The Hollywood Reporter that Witlin said the companies could simply have staff people do the voice work.
"He looked me right in the eye and said that," said Blanc, who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and has over 200 acting credits across several decades in theater, film, television and games. "I draw on my experience [in other media] when I do voice work."
"Fans buy games for voices as well as game play," he added. Some of the projects are massive enterprises. Mafia III, which Blanc directed, took six months and encompassed 95,000 scripted lines and 200 characters.
The union previously blasted the industry as "freeloaders" for refusing residuals, and "some of the proposals show a disregard that performers matter," Damon said Thursday as picketers from her union, the American Federation of Musicians, The Animation Guild, IATSE and the Writers Guild of America filed past.
Witlin and a publicist for the companies disagree, and have previously said that they do value SAG-AFTRA performers, while pointing to the fact that staff developers work on a game for months or even years, while performers generally come in just for several days.
The companies' representatives also claim that SAG-AFTRA has no more than 20 percent to 25 percent market share in video games. The union says its share is much higher among top-selling games. But in either case, there appear to be no reliable figures available.
Asked for comment on Thursday, the companies' spokesman reiterated comments made previously that "SAG-AFTRA is striking against the very video game companies that are its biggest advocates — and largest clients of SAG-AFTRA talent — in an industry that overwhelmingly uses non-union performers" and again blasted the union for not submitting the companies' most recent proposal for a membership vote.
The union has previously pointed out that the strike was authorized by 97 percent of those who voted a year ago on the issue, and that its negotiating committees and board do not send out contracts for ratification if the committee and board don't agree that the deal is fair. Those procedures are in accord with the union's constitution — which, in fact, goes beyond legal requirements, since labor law doesn't require that members be allowed to vote on contracts.
The picketing Thursday was followed by a brief rally and came 10 days after a similar demonstration attracted 300 people to Electronic Arts in Playa Vista, Calif., south of Santa Monica and Venice and part of the region's Silicon Beach-centered tech/media community.
In addition to residual-like "secondary compensation," other issues between the two sides include:
– Transparency: Performers often aren't told in advance what game or character they're working on, which not only keeps them in a peculiar, if not demeaning, darkness, but also inhibits their preparation, reduces their agents' negotiating leverage and can lead to unknowingly agreeing to uncomfortably sexual or violent roles.
– Stunt coordinators: The performers say the companies often ignore the need for stunt coordinators on set, a matter of safety.
– Vocal stress: The performers assert that four-hour recording sessions of screaming, wailing and gnashing of teeth result in medical damage to their vocal cords that could be avoided.
As is typical in Hollywood contract disputes, upfront compensation is not a contentious issue. There appears to be agreement to increase session fees, for instance, from $825 for a four-hour voice session to $900 at some point over the life of what would be a three-year contract renewal, if the parties could agree to terms.
When that will happen is anybody's guess. With the holidays approaching, it becomes harder to get teams together and working on negotiations, especially since the companies may now be more focused on maximizing holiday season revenues than on figuring out compensation models.
But there's a risk for the companies in waiting: Starting in February or so, SAG-AFTRA is likely to shift its own focus to the much bigger TV/theatrical negotiations with the AMPTP and studios. Although they have yet to be publicly unscheduled, those negotiations are already casting a shadow, since neither the union nor the video game companies — which include a Disney subsidiary as well as the Warners' unit — want to appear weak on the eve of the larger talks.
And once the TV/theatrical talks start, they will likely sideline any possibility of video game negotiations for four to six weeks. That could be a problem for the companies, since March and May bring a pair of trade shows, the Game Developers Conference and E3, in preparation for which the companies often engage actors to help create demos of upcoming product, noted SAG-AFTRA interactive committee chair Keythe Farley. Without a deal, union actors would be unavailable.
That suggests the possibility of talks in December or January. "We could resolve this dispute today," White told THR, adding, "We've offered them a deal that they can make."
But the companies don't see it that way, and it looks like this strike may have many more weeks of game play yet to unfold.

Will Smith isn't mincing words. On June 3, the actor posted a message of support addressed to tennis pro Naomi Osaka after she withdrew from the French Open citing mental health concerns.
Smith posted two photos featuring a written message in black marker on white paper. The pages read, "Hey Naomi, You are right. They are wrong! I am with you." He closed the simple statement with a heart and his signature, tagging Osaka and the French Open Instagram account in his post.
Osaka announced on May 31 that she would withdraw from the French Open. Prior to withdrawing, the 23-year-old tennis pro announced she would not participate in press for the tournament due to mental health concerns. As a result, she accrued a $15,000 fine for not talking to the media, according to a Roland-Garros statement.
More From Prevention
"I think now the best thing for the tournament, the other players, and my well-being is that I withdraw so that everyone can get back to focusing on the tennis going on in Paris," Osaka said in her May 31 statement. "I never wanted to be a distraction and I accept that my timing was not ideal and my message could have been clearer. More importantly I would never trivialize mental health or use the term lightly. The truth is that I have suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in 2018 and I have had a really hard time coping with that."
Referencing the mandate to speak to press or risk a fine, Osaka continued, "I do feel like the rules are quite outdated in parts and I wanted to highlight that… I'm gonna take some time away from the court now, but when the time is right I really want to work with the Tour to discuss ways we can make things better for the players, press and fans."
In the aftermath of her announcement, Osaka received a wave of support, including backing from Nike, Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King and more. Several news outlets and players have since credited Osaka with starting an important conversation about mental health in professional sports.
Yet the tennis industry in general seemed a little less understanding of Osaka's stance—hence Smith's reference to the industry being "wrong." Not only did Osaka receive a fine for refusing to speak to the press, but according to CNN, after Osaka withdrew from the French Open, the tournament was criticized tweeting a since-deleted photo of players Rafael Nadal, Kei Nishikori, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff "engaging in media duties" with the caption: "They understood the assignment."

I made Cheddar Bacon Bread on a whim one afternoon. The weather was brisk and I felt like baking and I knew Cheddar Bacon Bread would fill the house with satisfying aromas. I didn't really have a plan for this bread, but I figured I could save it for a Sunday morning and serve it lightly toasted with a poached egg on top. Well, once the bread hit the heat the savory aromas I'd promised myself soon became a reality. Lo and behold, I was no longer alone in the kitchen. The aroma of bacon and bread drew my partner Ken up to the oven nose first!
Freshly mown grass, new car interiors, and the scent of cold hard cash – few things have the aural power of browned bacon and freshly baked bread. Except maybe melted cheese.
Well this Cheddar Bacon Bread has it all. Meaty. Cheesy. Decadent. I just had to smile when I saw Ken furtively checking the oven timer inquiring of my intentions for the Cheddar Bacon Bread. If there's one true thing I can say about most kitchens it's this: everybody loves the smell of bacon cooking. Really everybody. Even vegetarians!
I mean no disrespect to vegetarians. I'm not implying that vegetarians would or should eat bacon. But they like the smell of it and there's real true science to explain why.
If you consider yourself a bit of a foodie, you may have already heard of the Maillard reaction.
At the beginning of the 20th century chemist Louis-Camille Maillard discovered that a chemical reaction takes places between amino acids and sugars during the cooking process. This process causes food to brown and savory aromas to fill the air. The science of it says that as food is heated up, the molecular structure of sugars in that food begin to break down and in the process release of a series of complex compounds. The majority of these aromatic compounds are hydrocarbons and aldehydes, both of which give off aromas that are biologically appealing to animals – including humans.
Sauteed Shrimp on Cheddar Bacon Bread
Well, Ken and I are humans. As we sat grooving on the aromas of the freshly baked Cheddar Bacon Bread Ken did something he never does. He made a menu suggestion. Forget brunch he said, why don't we serve this Cheddar Bacon Bread as a base for a holiday appetizer. We wouldn't have to wait until Sunday to eat it that way. His idea was to top each slice with an extra-large, spicy, buttery sauteed shrimp. A bit like handheld Shrimp and Grits. Making this a perfectly portable holiday appetizer with all the tastes, textures, and (yes) aromas that we both love.
So I did it. I combined two recipes to create one flavorful holiday bite. I know the addition of shrimp doesn't make this Cheddar Bacon Bread any more palatable to vegetarians, but heck at least I know they'll love the hydrocarbons and aldehydes wafting from my kitchen! GREG

The Agency started as an idea presented at the Social Innovation Pitch hosted at Deloitte Parramatta in November 2013. After many probing questions and challenges on the spot by a number of leading business minds of Western Sydney; that evening grew the confidence to consider the venture to be viable – if indeed challenging.
Five people were the original founding members three of whom registered the Agency on 30th April 2014. Following registration came the governance, policies and a broad outline of the preliminary delivery program.
30th July 2014 The Indian (Sub-Cont) Crisis & Support Agency was formally launched in Parramatta by the Lord Mayor of Parramatta Cr John Chedid at Deloitte. The programs further developed into services with the launch of the first formal service on 6th Dec 2014 being the Domestic Violence & Vulnerable Persons Focus Group (Domestic & Family Violence Program).
The greatest request has always been and remains the Client Case Management Service which delivers an individual assessment and case plan of whatever issue is.
The Agency was established on the basis of gathering together the fragmented community support to offer a more effective service. A mobile volunteer model for community members to be able to contribute their knowledge and skills in issues using their own professional backgrounds. In doing so the people who assist others usually on a casual basis would have a formal body to work under.
ICSA provided the professional framework, model, legal structure and protection beginning with an ad-hoc startup service quickly evolving into a professional body with a structured delivery program.
The Agency therefore has many contributors, all with varying degrees of time, effort, knowledge, skill and practical support. While the board meets regularly and a Project Lead overseas the core programs and activities; ISCA has a number of advisors and volunteers of all backgrounds that contribute to the growing success that is ICSA.
ICSA is a community organization run by the community for the community. Without the support and assistance (often at no notice) of the people who contribute, the corporate body could not do the work that is needed or achieved.
ICSA takes equal and mutual pride in everyone's contribution and achievement.

We will examine your pet to evaluate any changes that may be important such as weight changes, hair/skin abnormalities, or any irregular growths that may be important to detect. We are often able to find subtle problems that you can not at home. This allows us to prevent illness and disease, educate you on changes you may need to make at home to improve your rodent's health, and share with you any new advances we have learned during the year in rodent medicine.
Signs of Illness in Hamsters, Gerbils, Rats and Mice
If during the year, your rodent exhibits any of these signs of illness, we would strongly recommend scheduling an exam with one of our specialists:
- Hair loss
- Itching
- Decreased appetite

As I have blogged elsewhere in 1978 the USAC Championship came to England and I was lucky enough to see the one of the two championship races at Silverstone and meet some of those involved at a meet and greet at Jubilee Gardens on the banks of the Thames in Central London.
One of the enduring memories of those two events was seeing the striking lines of Rolla Vollstedts #17 La Machine - Vollstedt - Offenhauser 77 [14], to my mind one of the most visually arresting open wheelers ever built, one that has a place of special veneration reserved at the top table in Art Tidesco's Automotive Temple of Speed.
1960 US Olympic Team Skiing alternate Dick Simon was the driver of the immaculately turned out Vollstedt. Simon's best finish in 1978 was 4th at Phoenix he also scored three further top tens finishing the season 18th in the Champ Car Series standings.
The master mind behind the car was Rolla Vollstedt, a man with more stories to tell than I'll ever have hot dinners. Rolla has been devoting his life to racing since 1937 when he took part in unsanctioned Oregon street races with a Buick Coupé in 1937.
Working with modest budgets among Rolla's many achievements since starting his team in 1947 are building the first rear engined Offenhauser powered Indycar complete with rear wing to improve traction and counting the legendary Jim Clark, in 1967, along with Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Indy 500 among the drivers of his Championship cars. Rolla was also the last owner to attempt to qualify an Offenhauser powered for the Indy 500 in 1983.
I would like take this opportunity to wish Rolla a happy 93rd Birthday Day and thank him for building one of the most alluring automobiles it has ever been my privilege to see.
Thanks for joining me on Rolla Vollstedt's Birthday edition of 'Gettin' a lil psycho on tyres', I hope you'll join me again tomorrow for Ferrari Friday. Don't forget to come back now !

Chromebooks lie in an interesting intersection between a laptop and a tablet, which means they may not appeal to everyone looking for a new computer. But they still have some advantages, and Best Buy is offering a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook for $699 — a huge $300 discount on its normal $999 price — that's one of the better Chromebook deals out there and worth checking out.
First off, let's look at some of the benefits of a Chromebook, with the primary one being that they're effortless to carry around, considering how small and lightweight they are. In the case of this Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, the screen is 13.3-inches, and the whole thing weighs just over 2 pounds and is only 0.39 inches thick, meaning that it can easily slip into a backpack or even a small briefcase. It also has a 256GB internal SSD and runs ChromeOS, making it pretty fast to boot up, plus you get the benefit of running most applications on the app store. So, if you're a student that's often running from class to class, the fast boot times and small size make the Samsung Chromebook one of the best student laptop deals.
The Samsung Galaxy Chrome book also comes with a pretty great 4k touchscreen, which, when paired with the included pen that can pop right out of the casing, makes it perfect for note-taking and just general use. That being said, there are a couple of downsides, such as the fact that it runs on ChromeOS, and therefore anything you'd expect to have on Windows 10, such as Microsoft Word, is not available. Still, the downsides aren't too bad if you're already in the market for a Chromebook, and the premium price you pay at $700 is for the excellent screen, included pen, and overall quality of the Chromebook.
Ultimately, the Chromebook is built for those OK with streaming most of their content and productivity and are already using the Google ecosystem. If you fall under that umbrella, a $300 discount on this Samsung Galaxy Chromebook to $699 from $999 is a pretty sweet deal, all told. If that doesn't do it for you, check out some of our other laptop deals.

6 Tips to Keep Your Home Cozy all Winter Long
Tips to Keep Your Home Cozy
When it starts to get cooler outside, we end up spending a lot more time indoors. This winter, you'll want to make sure that your home is comfortable, cozy and ready to keep you feeling warm all winter long! So, here are a few tips to make sure you can make the most of your winter nest!
Use Warm Colors
Including warm colors in your home can help you to feel warmer when the temperature starts to drop outside. Reds, oranges, and yellows can help to bring a little sunshine in and give you a sense of warmth when the weather outside is frigid! This doesn't mean that you have to redecorate your entire home to prepare for winter. You can simply add a few warm touches like throw pillows, warm-colored blankets, and other accents. Include these colors in your home in any way that you can. Your mind will drift to memories of sunlight and warmth, even if it might be snowing outside!
Pay Attention To Your Floors
Whether you have carpet or hardwood floors, you'll want something cozy and warm to walk on this winter! There are few things worse than hopping out of bed in the morning only to land on a freezing cold floor! If you have hardwood floors, consider getting a few throw rugs to put in important spots, like by your bed, in the bathroom and next to the coach! If you have carpet, you will want to make sure it's extra soft and cozy to help keep your feet warm! If you don't already have carpet, you can easily install it in the rooms that you want to make sure are extra warm and insulated.
Open the Shades
In order to give your home a warmer feel in the winter, let in the sunlight whenever possible! Many of us tend to keep our homes shut off in the wintertime. The doors stay closed and the curtains drawn in order to keep the heat in, but you can keep the heat in while letting in the warming sunlight at the same time. Make sure your windows are well insulated so that you can open up the curtains and let in both natural light and natural warmth-whenever possible!
Stock Up on Pillows and Blankets
Nothing says cozy like pillows and blankets! Add a few throw pillows to your couch and toss a blanket or two on your favorite chair. Not only will your home seem more inviting and comfortable, but it will also beckon you to curl up and snuggle when it's too cold to leave the house.
There is no better time to turn on the oven and baking something delicious than in the cold winter months. You'll send waves of fresh, delicious smells throughout your home and add a little extra heat when it's needed most!
Use Candles
Candles are an excellent way to add both warm scents and warm tones to your home. Scents like cinnamon, other spices, and seasonal fruits will add a touch of coziness to the air while also providing a little warmth and warming colors to make your home the perfect winter next!
Don't let the winter blues take over! Use these tips to help keep your home looking and feeling warm all winter long!

According to ChemAnalyst report, "Oxygen Concentrator Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End Use, Distribution Channel, Regional Demand, 2015-2030", Oxygen Concentrator market has shown considerable growth in the historic period and is anticipated to achieve a healthy CAGR of 5.65% during the forecast period 2022-2030. Increasing population along with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is likely to increase the demand of Oxygen concentrators which will further drive the global Oxygen concentrator market over the next ten years.
Oxygen concentrator is a medical device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply by selectively removing nitrogen in order to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas. Methods that are commonly used in the Oxygen Concentrator are pressure swing adsorption and membrane gas separation. An oxygen concentrator starts its function by filtering and concentrating oxygen molecules from the ambient air to provide medical patients with more than 95% pure oxygen. The compressor of the oxygen concentrator sucks air from surrounding and adjusts the pressure at which it is provided.
High demand of the portable Oxygen Concentrators by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthmatic patients is the major driver of the global Oxygen Concentrators market and is expected to remain the same in the future. Chronic conditions and infections that lead to the lung damage are to blame for the increased demand of Oxygen Concentrators. As the population is increasing, patients of asthma seem to be rising as well. The portable oxygen concentrators are cost effective and can be carried easily and hence are found to be very useful for asthmatic patients. Unexpected rise in the number of chain smokers has fuelled the growth of global portable oxygen concentrators market.

Based on different types, Oxygen Concentrator market is segmented into Portable Medical Oxygen Concentrators, Fixed Medical Oxygen Concentrators. Among which, portable Oxygen Concentrators dominated the global market in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance until the forecast period. Increase in the number of air travellers is also propelling the demand of portable Oxygen Concentrators. The Oxygen Concentrator market is categorized on the basis of end-use applications into Homecare and Hospital Care. The Homecare segment dominates the global Oxygen Concentrator market due to the increased demand of homecare oxygen therapies.
In 2020, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, in the first half of 2020 there was a major surge in the demand of oxygen cylinders and concentrators due to the breathing problems faced by the coronavirus patients. Restrictions and nationwide lockdowns caused by the government in major global economies negatively impacted a number of industries in which medical gases were among the worst.

Digging my way out of problems with iTunes, I would like to drag a music file from my old archive to a new location; but the gotcha is I want it to copy a subset of the the path (containing the artist and album info) from the source folder to the destination folder.
Most "drag and drop" / PHP googling shows how to make an upload web application. (And obviously, it's probably weird that I've started using PHP so much for this stuff - but since I grew up with Perl as both a command line scripting tool and a cgi resource, it makes a kind of sense.) If memory serves, on Windows I used to be able to drop a file onto a script file in Explorer, and it would run the script with the file as an argument, but that trick doesn't seem to work on OSX. Or MacOS. Whatever. (Incidentally, for the PHP upload case, I've had great luck with dropzone.js)
So, to the Terminal! (Obviously one of the big appeals of MacOS for a certain flavor of geek was a proper shell terminal vs a DOS Window.) We're going to leverage how dragging a file onto a Terminal window puts in the file path - but it would be annoying to have to type "php myscript.php" before each drag operation, so I'm going to make a convenience script, called "c", just so the name is easy to type:
php copyIncludeSubpath.php "$@"
And then, for EXTRA typing laziness, I'm going to add the current directory to the path (not a good practice in general, but ok for a temporary Terminal window, to save typing ./ all the time)
export PATH=$PATH:.
Anyway, here's the script:
$oldroot = "/Volumes/My Book/monk/data/music/";
$newroot = "/Users/kisrael/Dropbox/dev/2016/scripting/LibraryXMLCompare/musicToAdd/";
for($i = 1; $i < count($argv);$i++){ #go over everything passed in, skipping name of php script
$path = $argv[$i];
function copyFileFromRootToRoot($path, $oldroot,$newroot){
if(substr($path,0,strlen($oldroot)) != $oldroot) { #check for oldroot at start of path
print "$path doesn't start with $oldroot!\n";
$mainpart = substr($path, strlen($oldroot)); #get relevant part of path
$oldloc = $oldroot.$mainpart;
$newloc = $newroot.$mainpart;
$path = substr($newloc,0,strrpos($newloc,DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR)); #get path minus file name
if(! is_dir($path)) @mkdir($path, 0777, true); #make it, eating errors
copy($oldloc, $newloc) || print "FAIL ON $newloc\n";
It's a little clumsy, but does the job.

Are Mermaids Real?
Follow Us:
Mermaids are not real; there is no conclusive scientific evidence that proves their existence in real life. Mermaids are mythical creatures that have been a part of folklore and legends for thousands of years. The myth of mermaids dates back to around 1,000 B.C.
Christopher Columbus is one of many explorers throughout history who claimed to see mermaids, or mermaid-like creatures. Columbus claimed to have first seen mermaids in 1493 off the coast of Haiti, although he said their appearance was not nearly as beautiful and appealing as in myths about mermaids. It's likely that Columbus and others saw large marine mammals like manatees and mistook them as mermaids.

The precursor to the Lawrence Arms featuring Brendan Kelly and
Chris McCaughan. This short lived political punk band from Chicago put
out two records. Broken Van is a collection of various singles, compilation
tracks and unreleased gems. This has been out of print for 10 years. This
is a limited pressing of 500 on clear blue with black smoke vinyl.
I think this record is one of the best punk albums of all time. 15 fantastic songs, most of the good ones are by Dan Hanaway but Brendan has a few winners on here as well. This record is a great snapshot of the end of the century sound in the midwest, where I was a teenager at the time. These songs are like an audio scrapbook of 1998 in the best way possible. I might be full of nostalgic bullshit, but I love this record.
As a shitty side note, I can't comment on the vinyl, because interpunk charged me but never shipped the order, or responded to any of my emails or messages. So that's pretty shitty. But this is still an amazing album by one of my favorite punk rock bands of all time. I'm sure the vinyl is awesome, because Mike Park is a real upstanding gentleman. I used to buy CDs from him with money orders via the us postal service back in the 1900s.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is part of a daily December series that will feature new or previously published interviews, profiles and first-persons of some of the year's most notable cinematic voices. This edition features "Winter's Bone" star Jennifer Lawrence, who has been garnering considerable accolades for her work in the film recently.
The story of a poor girl in the Ozarks tracking down her convict father who put up the family home to make bail might be a tough sell on paper… That is, had the necessary ingredients of good directiion, script and a real tour de force for a lead been absent. Thankfully for "Winter's Bone," which also happened to win the prize for best film at this year's Sundance Film Festival, no less, all the stars alligned to create a film that should take its place as a prime contender this awards season.
The film stars 19 year-old Jennifer Lawrence who won resounding praise at Sundance for her role as Ree Dolly, who deftly creates a lovable character who pursues information about her father and in the process, penetrating the strict veneer of secrecy in her rural, speed-ravaged town. If there is any justice within the politics and agendas surrounding the awards labyrinth, Lawrence should certainly beocme a serious contender.
"I got involved by auditioning and being a psycho and following [director Debra Granik] all the way to New York City, and I thought it was the best role ever," Lawrence said with laughs to indieWIRE. "It looked like such an amazing role for a woman. It's funny because before any of this happened, my mom had read the book [by Daniel Woodrell] and she said to me, 'if they ever do a movie on this, you should do it.'"
Lawrence said that she's always wanted to act, ever since childhood, though she said that that is something probably most children probably consider. "But, there was something that I knew was there," she said shyly, clearly hoping that her words wouldn't backfire somehow. "But I never thought it was a possibility for me, but later when I moved to New York and started to try acting, it was sort of something I realized I could do. And it was something I could only do…"
And by all appearances, Lawrence was right.
After doing some commercial and guest spot work in the Big Apple, she won an outstanding performance nod at the 2008 Los Angeles Film Festival for "The Poker House" by Lori Petty and later that Summer took the Marcello Mastroianni Award (acting prize) for Guillermo Arriaga's "The Burning Plain." She then landed the lead in "Winter's Bone," which Roadside Attractions will release theatrically starting on June 11th. She is also set to co-star with Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson in the upcoming feature, "The Beaver," which Foster is directing.
She said that, so far, "The Beaver" has been the biggest challenge for her in terms of getting to know and understand the character she is playing. "Every role where I'm just a normal teenage girl in high school is the hardest [for me]," she said. "I didn't go to a [regular] high school. I started working early, so it's hard for me to get back to my inner child."

Miss Brill
Sometimes, people have a tendency to disguise their anguish with elements of happiness and constantly tell themselves that they are happy when they truly are not. Bertha Young from Katherine Mansfield's "Bliss" believed that she was truly happy in her life because she seemed to have everything she needed. However, she comes to the horrible realization that her own blissful relationships are aligned against her happiness, even her own husband, Harry, who has an affair with her mysterious friend, Pearl. Bertha's feelings of bliss and perfect contentment in her life are in conflict with the harsh reality of the less than favorable incidents within her relationships with Harry, Pearl and even herself – in terms of her symbolic pear tree – and her perceptions of these relationships.
In the beginning of the story, Bertha's feelings of 'bliss' are in conflict with Harry's actions towards her because she feels a notable distance from him. When Bertha was called to answer the phone, "down she flew" (492) from her feelings of Bliss, no longer as blissful as she was before she got the call from Harry. Bertha was completely content until she got the phone call, and now that she must speak to him, she feels some distance toward him. She wanted to tell him what a great day it was, but she knew he wouldn't understand: "she'd nothing to say. She only wanted to get in touch with him for a moment" (492). This portrays how she was not in touch with Harry in a blissful way, and she felt a distance from him in this way, holding back her blissful thoughts from him. When hanging up the phone she was "thinking how more than idiotic civilization was" (492) after speaking to Harry because she knew Harry didn't understand what true bliss was, nor did he share her mutual feelings for it, portraying even more of an emotional distance between them. Another factor in opposition to her bliss is how Bertha "knew how [Harry] loved doing things at high pressure" (495) but she did not know how intense and dangerous Harry liked things until the stories end. His high pressure lifestyle was completely opposite to Bertha, who liked things to be calm, collected and happy. Bertha struggled to connect with Harry emotionally, but she continued to try and stay blissful, regardless of her husband being unable to understand it.
In the middle of the story, Bertha's connection to Pearl and how she views Pearl negatively affect Bertha's bliss; Pearl shows signs of a false friendship, cues that Bertha convinced herself were genuine. There were numerous opportunities for Bertha to see deeper into Pearl's personality, and some were foreshadowed in the story through interactions with other characters. When Harry was noting things he disliked about Pearl, "Bertha wouldn't agree with him; not yet at any rate" (493). Bertha wanted Harry to like Pearl which would add to Bertha's bliss, but this disagreement with him foreshadows how Bertha would soon know the truth about Pearl even though she had the ability to see the truth right at that moment when speaking to Harry. Harry had no reason to dislike Pearl, and Bertha could have questioned this further and found out the truth about his true feelings for Pearl. Another opportunity Bertha had to see the truth is when "Miss Fulton did not look at [Bertha]" (495) after she entered Bertha's home for the dinner party. Avoiding eye contact is seen in many people who have secrets to hide, and this shows how Pearl felt guilty for the things she was doing, for pretending to befriend a woman she was lying to. Pearl didn't look at Bertha, but Bertha believed this was something Pearl always did, and Bertha convinced herself that there was a reason to hide this evidence of Pearl lying, convinced she should remain blissful regardless of the signs. Lastly, Bertha and Pearl displayed an attachment to each other with little information passed between them, and they gained a deeper connection of who they are to each other: they "stood side by side looking at the slender, flowering tree [and they were] understanding each other perfectly" (497). For Bertha, that tree was a "symbol of her own life" (493), so to have Pearl view that symbol and understand its deeper meaning is to truly connect with Bertha and her feelings. However, Bertha did not ask Pearl how she felt and assumed Pearl's feelings. Asking Pearl about her connection at this point could have revealed the information Bertha needed to see the truth of the affair. Bertha used this moment of connection to Pearl as a way to remain blissful and oblivious to the affair and convince herself that there was nothing wrong between the two women in their friendship.
At the end of the story, the pear tree is not only a symbol for blissful Bertha's life, but it is also a symbol for her true self because Bertha's static lifestyle discourages any feelings other than bliss. Throughout the story, the image of the "tall, slender pear tree" (493) was often used as a symbol for Bertha's life: a slim, rigid, stagnant lifestyle that did not show evidence of climaxing at any point. Bertha's relationship with this pear tree showed her an inevitable truth about herself: her life was invariable and because of this, she could do nothing about the drastic changes in her relationships except remain oblivious and blissful. Upon finding out about the affair, instead of getting emotional about learning the truth, Bertha seeks to find meaning within her symbolic tree: "'Oh, what is going to happen now?' she cried. But the pear tree was as lovely as ever and as full of flower and as still" (499). Instead of thinking about what she should do about the affair, she looks to her symbolic tree for answers and inadvertently looks into herself to find the truth. The final line of the story proves that Bertha is incapable of change. She sees that the tree has not changed, and since the tree is a symbol for her being, Bertha is unchanging as well. This means that Bertha is incapable of accepting the truth and is unsure of how to handle it, so she constantly ignores the signs and chooses to be blissful.
Bertha, in Mansfield's narrative, searched for answers in her own way to try to understand the opposing forces to her bliss and the betrayal from Harry, Pearl and within herself through precious tree. Bertha's bliss was truly anguish in disguise: she was ignoring all the signs of her husband's betrayals and telling herself to stay blissful despite the evidence she found, even with the bond she and Pearl felt. Bertha's bliss was a constant cover up, and with each mention of 'bliss' in the story came an event that was less than favorable to her happiness. Bertha was truly concealing herself from the truth and letting herself subconsciously believe that all was right in her world; she even trusted in her pear tree to tell her the answers at times. However, trusting in herself and her tree for the answers led to her realizing that she is incapable of change. Sometimes, the blissful world has to be ruined for a person to see the final truths within their lives.

If you start gnome-terminal in gnome, and then log out saving settings,
when you log in again the window title is blank (and shows up as '???' in
the panel).
gnome-terminal code looks correct to me; this is likely a session manager
or gnome-libs problem. Needs a fairly in-depth investigation.
any progress here?
It works for me in Rawhide if you set the title with the --title command line
if you set the title with terminal escape sequences it deliberately doesn't

While I was in London looking at the National Portrait Gallery I took a walk down to Hamiltons Gallery in Mayfair as it was exhibiting work from Sir Don McCullin, CBE.
The exhibition was called Proximity and was a brilliant display of vintage gelatine silver prints from McCullin over a period of decades of work. As someone who is interested in photojournalism and press photography this work was awe-inspiring to me. There is a reason the print prices start from £25,000 for a single print and that is assumably because McCullin has spent a lifetime running around foreign countries trying to get the shots for publication for the world to look at while not getting shot himself!
McCullin is known for being a war photographer although, he says he does not like that label on himself, he does not want to be passed off just as a war photographer. He prefers to be known just as a photographer. In his varied images you can see why. His images are crafted from someone who I would say has got the 'photographic eye', a natural ability to see and compose the photograph. An artist with a camera so to speak.
McCullin's image called; Tormented, Homeless Irishman, Spitalfields, London, 1969.
The image above taken by McCullin is similar to the images I will try to capture in my assignment. It is up close and personal and I would suggest it was taken with a 50mm lens. There is some kind of connection in the image to the viewer as the subject is looking directly into the camera almost gaze-like. You can see the man is very unkept with matted hair and the beard and his clothes are dirty. For a man to look like this in London in 1969 you would think immediately that he is homeless. I think that the man is of colour but it is hard to tell with the image being black and white. It could be just built up dirt. I think that the light patches on his forehead and nose are scars. There is a lot of texture on the mans face giving away his age. His look into the camera is as though he is totally compos mentis, I think that you would need to be, to survive the streets of London for a prolonged period.
If I can get good shots like this one for my assignment I will be very happy indeed. I will also talk to my subjects and ask them information on their background and how they came to be on the streets.
McCullin's image called; Shell Shocked Marine, Vietnam, Hue, 1968.
The above image of the marine is again close in and again shot with a 50mm lens I would think. This is McCullin's most celebrated image and it appears all over the internet.
At first thought you think that the marine is looking directly into the lens under the shadow of his helmet but on close inspection you can see he is staring beyond it, into nothing. I would argue that this is the reason that the image has been talked about so much because it captures the marine shell-shocked and it gives the viewer a small glimpse of what it would be like to be moulded by the effects of war on your individual soul. Other than the matter of the eyes, it is a simple portrait of the marine holding his gun, or prop if you like, for portrait purposes but, the eyes are everything, and the moment was captured perfectly.
The image above by McCullin entitled, Ban the Nazis, shot in Finsbury Park, London, 1961-1962 is classic photojournalism. The image focusing on the slogan written on the wall with the narrow depth of field leaves no error in ones head to what the image is about. I will not start talking about the complexities of the Nazis or the Jews as that is also written but then scrubbed out. This blog is more about photography but I think this image is clear and concise and shows that McCullin knows exactly how to make an image work using the aperture of his camera.
McCullins image called; Chapel Market, Islington, London, 1957-1959.
The image above is in my mind is a freak occurrence. McCullin has captured the older lady pulling the face while the young man behind her is pulling a face in reply, even though he would not know that the old lady is making that face of her own, it is classic 'capture the moment' street photography. McCullin has a knack of pressing that shutter button in exactly the right time. You must remember that all these images are shot with a film camera and they are not the contemporary DSLR cameras that have 10-16 frames a second!
I Really enjoyed myself looking at these images amongst others at Hamilton's gallery, just the name Don McCullin had me eager to get down to London to see his images. One thing is for sure, I will be making more of an effort to get to photographers exhibitions in the future whether they are for an academic project or not!

Uttam Dhillon, the acting director of the Drug Enforcement Administration, warns that Mexican drug cartels pose the "biggest" threat to the national security and health of U.S. citizens.
"Mexican drug trafficking organizations are the biggest criminal threat the United States faces today," Dhillon, told Hill.TV co-hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising" during an interview that aired on Monday.
The DEA official said Mexican cartels are responsible for distributing a vast majority of deadly synthetic drugs like methamphetamines and fentanyl that are coming across the southern U.S. border.
"What they're doing is they're mixing fentanyl with heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine so every time someone takes an illegal drug, they're literally taking their lives into their own hands," he said.
Dhillon joined the DEA in July and previously served as the Director of the Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security.
He said federal and local officials are continuing to work with their Mexican counterparts to better disrupt drug networks throughout the two nations.
He cited a recent bust of a "lab" in Mexicali, Mexico, where he said officials seized more than 20,000 carfentanil pills.
Originally designed as a tranquilizer for elephants, carfentanil is not approved for human use. The synthetic opioid is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl, which is noted for being 50 times more potent than heroin.
Dhillon also emphasized China's growing influence on the opioid epidemic due to its production of fentanyl.
A year-long congressional report found that the deadly substance could be bought online from Chinese labs and mailed through the U.S. Postal Service.
But the DEA official told Hill.TV that federal officials have made progress with China, citing good law enforcement contacts and plans to open a second foreign office there next year.
Chinese fentanyl has ushered in a new era of drug kingpins and the way synthetic drugs are trafficked around the world.
China argues that it's not entirely to blame for the fentanyl epidemic.
China's drug control agency, the National Narcotics Commission, said in June that the U.S. could do more to cut its demand for opioids to tackle the use of fentanyl, and vowed to step up cooperation with U.S. officials after President Trump blamed the country for fueling the U.S. opioid crisis.
Last year, 72,000 Americans died of a result of drug overdoses — more than 50,000 of those deaths were related to opioids, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
The House on Friday overwhelmingly passed legislation meant to fight the opioid epidemic, a moment of bipartisanship amid a series of fierce partisan battles.
The bill, which passed 393-8, is expected to soon be sent to President Trump's desk.

Why this Memorial Day, I'll concentrate my thoughts on Sammy Gardner
It wasn't just two guys hugging in the park that would have caught your attention. It would have been the contrast between them. One in a tattered leather jacket, scruffy beard and a long ponytail escaping from the back of a red bandana. The other man wore his corporate uniform, blue suit, white shirt and red tie. Who was the guy in the leather jacket? I have no idea. But the guy in the blue suit, well, that was me.
You see, it was 1987. We were standing before the Moving Wall, a replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C., that was making a stop in my then home of Wichita, Kansas. Ponytail was there to talk to his wartime "Bud", one of the many who never made it home. And I was there to pay homage to someone I'd never met. The enormity of the wall with the names of 58,000 lost souls was overwhelming, so much so it bridged the gap between ponytail and me. We hugged, he cried, and I felt like it.
Now, back up one year to May 1986. "Memorial Day is coming up," one of my editors said. "How about finding someone who died in Vietnam and do a feature story on him."
Sammy Gardner was the first name that came up. A Wichita State University ROTC graduate, star athlete and an army helicopter pilot, killed in action in May of 1968.
I called his parents, Sam and Rachel Gardner, to ask them if they would agree to an interview for a story about Sammy, with the piece running right before Memorial Day. They said yes and a few days later found me sitting on a couch in their living room reviewing Sammy's all-too-short life.
As we talked, Sammy ceased being an abstraction to become a real flesh and blood person, an only child, high school track letterman, working summers for the park department, majoring in math and education at Wichita State, enrolling in ROTC, earning his wings as a helicopter pilot, playing and excelling at golf and enjoying the company of a special girlfriend that Rachel was "crazy about".
"His girlfriend came around a few times after Sammy died," Rachel said, "then she kind of drifted away. I can't blame her. She had her whole life ahead of her. I heard she married and had children. You know, Sammy loved kids, too." And with that her eyes moistened and she turned away. Dreams of what might have been may be the cruelest dreams of all.
Then we talked about how Sammy died carrying troops into a hot battle zone. On his third trip, his helicopter was hit by machine-gun fire and disintegrated in mid-air. For his bravery, he was posthumously awarded the silver star, the nation's third-highest medal. "The funeral was a blur," said Sam, "but we got over 300 cards. Many of them contain memories of Sammy. We take them out and read some when we are feeling down."
The interview finally concluded, and I left for the newspaper office.
The story ran in the Wichita Eagle on the Sunday before Memorial Day 1986, complete with a large picture of Sammy in his uniform. A few days later I returned to the Gardner home with the picture and a half-dozen copies of the story.
Rachel greeted me and we talked more about Sammy. "Before you leave, be sure to go out to the garage and say hello to Sam. After Sammy died he took up woodworking and now he's into birdhouses. Makes them for the whole neighborhood."
Sure enough, Sam was there, small paintbrush in hand putting the finishing touches on a red-roofed green-sided birdhouse. "It's my Pizza Hut birdhouse," he said with a sly smile (Wichita was then the corporate home of Pizza Hut). We talked a bit then I excused myself to go back to work.
Sam died in March of 1991; Rachel passed away in September of 2007.
Even though these memories are more than 30 years old, they are as vivid to me today as the red paint Sam was applying to the roof of that birdhouse.
As this Memorial Day approaches, we are reminded of how often the story of Sam and Rachel and Sammy has been repeated throughout our history, as it continues today. Countless others have been down that sad road the Gardners were forced to take. So many that it can seem overwhelming just as ponytail and I were overwhelmed by 58,000 names on the Moving Wall.
Maybe that's why I'll concentrate my thoughts this Memorial Day on Sam and Rachel and Sammy as representatives of all the rest. For they are people, people I know, people who are real. And because a birdhouse is no substitute for a son.

Between birth and 12 months, your baby's imagination is growing all the time, and play is the main way that she explores and develops her imagination. Here are some play ideas and creative activities to boost your baby's imagination, learning and development.Babies: imaginative and creative developmentBetween birth and 12 months, your baby becomes more fascinated by the world. At this age, your baby's imagination (and brain!) is growing all the time, as he explores the world around him, his relationships and his own feelings.Play is the main way your child experiences new sounds, sights, activities and feelings. And your baby can see possibilities for play everywhere. It's a central part of her learning and development at this age.What to expect with your baby's imaginationYour baby is likely to be fascinated by you – your face and facial expressions, your voice and your touch.From about five months, he might be fascinated by himself too! Babies love looking at themselves in the mirror and watching their own expressions change. At this age, your baby might not understand that he's the baby in the mirror – this will develop later when he becomes a toddler.At the same time, your baby will enjoy looking at pictures in books or her surroundings.Babies at this age have a natural curiosity about the environment and are keen to explore, especially once they can crawl – your baby might look into cupboards, under beds and around the house.Your baby will also enjoy making lots of noise either by banging things together or by using his voice. From about seven months, he might try to copy you if you make different sounds. He'll also copy actions and words to songs from about 12 months.Messy play is great fun for your baby from about eight months.And from 8-18 months, your baby can use her imagination to enjoy made-up games and open-ended play. In this type of play, your child might turn a carrot into a rocket, your t-shirt into a hat or a piece of cloth into a flag.Helping your baby's imagination to grow and encouraging his creativity can be easy – all you need is space, time and whatever safe materials you can find around your home.Play ideas and creative activities to grow your baby's imaginationLots of different experiences will help your baby's imagination to grow. Here are some ideas:
Structured play and open-ended playTry to offer your child things she can use to make up games and play, as well as toys that come complete from the shop with their own structured play instructions.For example, blocks are ideal for open-ended play. When your baby uses his imagination, blocks can become rocket ships, presents or even a bag of potatoes. Likewise, a box of different-coloured pieces of material has endless possibilities when your baby plays with it in a creative way.All children develop at their own pace. But if you're concerned about any aspect of your child's development – for example, if your child appears to lack interest in play or in playing with objects – it's a good idea to talk with your paediatrician or General Practitioner (GP).
