I remember crying in Kindergarten when my teacher insisted that each student announce what they wanted to be when they grew up.
I was a shy child whose parents split up when I was three and we moved around a lot, so talking in front of a group was far from being 'fun'. (By the end of Elementary School, I couldn't stop talking, so there was a weird life symmetry there! ha!) Anyhow, I remember thinking to myself, "How would I know what I want to be?!! I am only five!"
The result of the silence and all eyes on me: tears.
Fast forward to 6th grade.
It was a similar situation, but this time, the teacher asked us to think about what we wanted to be when we grew up. This time, I did. I put a lot of thought into it. I had friends who named the profession of their mother or father. Some wanted to be what they considered a 'hero job': a doctor, a firefighter. For me, I had always loved Art. Always. Yet, I thought being an Artist meant standing on a sidewalk with my paintings and hoping to sell something, so I could have money to eat! Thus, Art was never something I considered as a plausible career.
Instead, I came up with two things. I was 11 years old, and I knew I wanted to be…
A mother.
I've always loved kids and thought the coolest thing in the entire World would be to be a mom. To have kids. To hold babies. To love them unconditionally. To teach them skills and help shape them to be confident and good people.
And happy. I didn't know what job I wanted. I didn't think about income, industry, or position. I didn't care about the details. I just knew that whatever my career would be, I needed to be happy.
So going full circle here, I am now a business owner of something I am passionate about: creating art. I am also a mother of little humans who test my patience sometimes (haha), but they make me grow and learn and teach. They make me want to always see the World as a silver lining, to find good in people. I can humbly say that I am happier with them in my World.
Thank you — yes, YOU — for sharing in my journey!
Now why on Earth am I thinking about all this?
Well, my littlest monkey just turned 6 years old. (These photos are from her 6 year old photoshoot.) She is in Kindergarten, and I remembered how I was asked that question when I was her age. Unlike me, however, Avie knows what she wants to be when she grows up. A singer. Well, not any ordinary singer. A Singing Baker. So in a few years, if you hear about a bakery that just opened up where the baker sings, you'll know it's my child! 🙂
When I grow up (hey, I'm still growing!), I want to be where I am now. But just older.
Votes started coming in the minute I posted these albums onto my Facebook business page! Thank you to all who chimed in. It is always a lot of fun for me to see what people like because there are always a few surprises. This is me when I'm looking through the votes: "Ooh, interesting…why this one?!! Wait. What? Why not this one?!!" hahaha.
Without further ado, check out the results of people's favorite images — as of today (voting is continuous). The #1 images in both categories, however, won by landslides, so those are pretty secured in their stately positions. 🙂
Photos considered in The Most Delicious Light category were images where light played a significant role in the overall image.
The sweetness of this mother-baby moment wouldn't be the same if the sunlight was "hard".
The golden sunlight warms this engagement hand-holding image.
Found an abandoned farmhouse for this shot! Love the thin stream of hard light.
The sunlight is what brings attention to the streamers and her face…and creates even more JOY in the image.
Tied for #4
Love how the sunlight points out the boy's long baby hair and lit up the tree in the background.
A "moment" can be a split second in time, or it can be a moment that tells a story — whether sweet, emotional or humorous. Or all of the above!
Dancing with Dad
It LOOKS like candy.
The laughing rocker and her sister.
The moment you help your brother fly like an airplane and the wind blows your hair into beautiful lines in the sky.
Contrasting layers of an emotional human interaction with a city reflection. Soft and hard. Warm and cold. Curves and hard lines.

How do you
make bribe encourage your kids to get along, look happy, AND look natural in front of your camera when you photograph them all the time and they are not having any of it??? You work the entire shoot around drinking sweet thick eggnog and eating fresh out-of-the-oven, melt-in-your-mouth gooey chocolate chip cookies you made from scratch. That's how! 😛
So for my Styled Christmas Shoot of my kids, I am proud to say that all my props (excluding ingredients for the food) cost $8. The basket, bottles and straws were in the dollar section at a local store. The baker's twine I already had, and the large glass bottle was a gift. Clothes were a mix of things we already had and a few items that tied everyone's colors together. Total cost was $50.
The reason why I'm mentioning this is to show that you don't need to spend a lot to have props in your shoot. Props can provide you with something to do, something to hold, and basically, a reason to not look at the camera — in addition to providing a secondary purpose, like being good bribery material (hee hee). [To see another Styled Shoot created on a dime, see my Train Station Shoot.]
Happy holidays to you and your loved ones this holiday season!
Styled Shoots involve more directing of subjects, which is a fun contrast to my regular shoots (Lifestyle Photography) that are more natural-flowing.
In this shoot with Crystal, for instance, I took her into a deserted building and a cemetery ==> NOT your typical photography locations. Some of that occurred on a whim because the other areas were occupied by another photographer. Instead of leaving altogether, I got more creative! It feels amazing to still achieve the quality of images I had visualized beforehand, even with the unplanned changes. Boo-yah!
Before diving into the behind-the-scenes (BTS) images, I'd like to share a phone selfie of me and Crystal taken before the shoot, so you can see what she looks like on a "normal" day. She is stylish, cute and gorgeous, right?!!
And, I know you're thinking it, so I'm just gonna come out and say it for you… I need a tan! 😉 Alright, let's get to it!
Behind-the-Scenes #1
I chose this area because I liked how the green in her top (it was a silk scarf!) matched the leaves in the tree, so I placed her here. Since she has never done a professional shoot before, I gave her a branch to hold, so her hands had something to do.
(PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: Sometimes hands can look awkward. They need to have "a purpose". Don't just let them fall to the side. I call that "a dead arm".)
I also love her muscular arms and back, so finding ways to curve and bend her body highlighted those areas. It also makes the image more editorial than headshot-y. (Do you like my formal terms?!!)
What I Shot
[Specs: ISO 400, 1/1000 sec, f/1.4, shade.]
Behind-the-Scenes #2
I started shooting her in different angles (straight on with the cemetery behind her, through the trees, etc), but none of those gave me the "wow" effect that I wanted. I ended up moving closer and closer, and shot her from the side, as you see below.
I found the side view more flattering. It showed off her arms in a feminine way and created a harder line around her jaw, which I liked.
Also, from this side view, I can see her wrist tattoos, which offers a visual detail that I find interesting.
What I Shot
[Specs: ISO 400, 1/400 sec, f/1.8, open shade]
Behind-the-Scenes #3
I could see that the sun was hitting the bush with the flowers, so I knew I wanted to shoot through that for a cool foreground bokeh. To get into position, I am looking through the viewfinder the entire time, so I guess I ended up in a funky legs-all-twisted kind of position! haha.
The other image (below right) shows me giving Crystal posing direction.
What I Shot
I love this shot of Crystal. She looks flirty and fun! Her stance also shows off her athletic build. (She is a volleyball athlete!)
[Specs: ISO 400, 1/1250 sec, f/1.4, speckled light]
Behind-the-Scenes #4
So at the end of the shoot, I looked around for a strip of light. I visualized a dark environment with a tiny bit of light, so I could create more of an emotional, storytelling image than just "a pretty" one.
I found this strip of light inside a deserted building that worked great, however, based on how the sunlight streamed in, the light was very low to the ground. I gave Crystal directions to sit, kick off her shoes, and bend forward into the light. I painted a story for her so she would have "activities", so that the image would have a story…
She was a girl at a party who stepped away from it to be alone for awhile so she could think. The rest was up to her. Was she sad? Pensive?
What I Shot
[Specs: ISO 250, 1/4000 sec, f/1.4, super bright stream of light]
Then I walked up to her to get a close-up.
I wanted to highlight the shapes from the light and shadows on her face and body, so I had her body produce even more shapes by making her limbs bend and her body asymmetric.
[Specs: ISO 320, 1/5000 sec, f/1.8, bright stream of light]

I don't want to be sappy, but sometimes I can't help it. When I think about Myra — my friend for over 25 years, a former roommate, a sister and twin — I sometimes get choked up. I'd tell you more, but then I may have to find my box of tissues, so let's skip the details of why she is an awesome human being and special to me.
Anyhooooo, she recently started a blog, cleverly titled Eat, Drink, and Be Myra (I came up with the name, so of course I think it's clever – ha!), so this weekend, as part of her birthday outing, we did a shoot for her new business venture.
The shoot was sandwiched between giggles, eating, catching up, and eating again… our usual activities. 🙂
Q: What do you do when your cousin gets a rockin' haircut and visits you from the East Coast?
A: You dress her up in your clothes and take her out for a mini styled session!
Q: What do you do when you have only 1 hour for the entire shoot, including drive time, and the location you chose already has a professional photoshoot in session?
A: Shoot in the adjacent cemetery, of course!
I know, I know… that sounds horrifying, but it wasn't. I promise! Crystal was game for anything as having a Styled Shoot was completely foreign to her, so everything we did was fun to her. (What an awesome model to have… one who is gorgeous, fun, funny, humble AND appreciative!)
We were also respectful of the location and tread quietly around the paths. Crystal even said "thank you" to the cemetery when we left. Now if that isn't
a little weird creepy silly respectful, then I don't know what is! 😉 Love you, Crystal!!! <3
As part of my 1 hour Styled Session of my 5-year old's birthday, Ava changed into her flowy pink dress and wore a handmade glittery gold crown that I ordered from etsy. (She wanted a Princess theme whereas I wanted The Train Station theme, so we compromised by doing both. Actually, she had 3 outfits, but that's another post!) 🙂
The fog had rolled in, so the temperature dropped 10 degrees and the wind picked up. I knew this leg of the shoot needed to be really quick. It was a time to just "get the shot and go"! We were there for about 15 minutes, including walking to/from the parking lot.
My oldest daughter held my reflector when I needed it, and she took a couple behind-the-scenes shots with my phone as you can see here. Thanks, Mia!
Ava's dress had a gauzy layer that kept getting caught on the prickly wild flowers, so I had her stand on a stool.
I had waited til the end of the day to get the "golden hour" light, but didn't anticipate the fog that rolled in after we started. With the dense fog, you can see that we were running out of light quick!
My poor girl was so cold that she used her arms to hug herself to keep warm — which actually looked pretty darn cute, so I shot through it.
What I Shot:
You can't always control every aspect of your shoot, like the weather. So find ways to make the most of what you have. Sometimes that means finding an alternate light source. Sometimes it means shooting through the cold and having artistic "thoughtful" shots of your subject rather than "happy" ones.
Use the resources you have, think quickly, and have fun!
This East Bay Styled Photography session was of my very own angel who just turned 5! (I celebrate each year of my monkeys with a photoshoot. Lucky them! heehee.)
Here is how the planning went down…
I picked up this cute little suitcase from a local store for $10 a year ago because I thought it would be a great prop for a child's shoot. I then found the perfect dress while browsing at Nordstrom's that match the 'look and feel' of the suitcase. Before running out the door the day of the shoot, I grabbed my 10 year old daughter's straw hat.
As for the location, I needed a reason for my subject to be holding a suitcase, so I thought, "Aha! A train station!" Then I remembered a restaurant area that reminded me of an old train station, which I drove past earlier that day. Voila, our location!
Since this was a public place and it was a Saturday evening, we were only here for 15 minutes.
So you can see, you don't need expensive props, a lot of time, or complicated details. The location can be in your own neighborhood too. You just need a vision!
Check out my little Ava who was at "the train station" this weekend…. 🙂
If you liked this, then you'll want to check out my Fairytale Shoot from last year! It was also a windy day, but the light was completely different. It was full-on sunshine!
When you take two gorgeous people with magnetic personalities and plop them in a distant land — let's say, Costa Rica — they will find each other. That's what happened to Chris and Sinead, but even more romantic than that.
This Styled Couple's Photography session was in San Francisco. It started at their home, which was in the same neighborhood where I lived before I moved to the suburbs! It was so great to do an entire shoot in this special area of the city.
The biggest treat was getting to know these two charming people who are so obviously meant for each other. Their love was palpable. <3
For their photoshoot, Chris and Sinead hung out at their home, dressed to the nines, and whizzed over to a few favorite spots by the way of Uber. It was the quintessential urban photoshoot!
Lili and Eddie are more than clients. They've become friends over the years. (I've known them since their first photoshoot with me when Lili was pregnant with Benji 5 1/2 years ago.)
This year, I counted down the days to their shoot for the last two months. I hopped over to them out of sheer excitement when I saw them in the parking area! How can I explain this? They're the kind of people who aren't embarrassed to show affection in public or laugh out loud. They are passionate people with integrity and coolness. 🙂 And their boys. Oh, their boys. They are respectful and playful and thoughtful. I adore them!
When it came time for their shoot, we decided to have a theme that reminded them of their recent trip to Italy. Here's the set-up:
Stopping for a snack on a sidewalk near a piazza in Florence, reading storybooks (set in Italy), and just being happy to be together.

COVID-19 and the Charitable Sector
Insights and resources to help navigate the pandemic and the expected economic downturn. Find out how Canadian charities are responding to COVID-19 and how to meet the needs of your nonprofit organization.
The Imagine Canada Sector Monitor: Charities & the COVID-19 Pandemic details the experiences of charities since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of physical distancing, mandatory closure of non-essential businesses, and myriad other changes to the operating environment.
Download the Sector Monitor to understand:
- The impact of the pandemic on the financial health of charitable organizations, and the size of these shifts in comparison to the 2008/2009 economic downturn;
- Changes in the demand for charitable services and associated effects on organizational capacities to respond to COVID-19;
- The types of organizations and income streams most impacted by the pandemic; and,
- The extent and the kinds of innovation being used by charities to adapt to systemic changes.
Charities face billions in lost revenue, drastic service disruption to essential community services and massive layoffs disproportionally impacting women. A worst-case scenario involving six months of enforced isolation, and the more severe economic downturn that would result, means the sector is projected to lose $15.6 billion in revenue and about 194,000 employees.
Over the past several weeks, our team has made it a priority to reach out to diverse organizations across the country and across sub-sectors in order to listen to their stories and gain a better understanding of what organizations are experiencing.
The session hosted by CRA provides information about the CEWS (Canada's Emergency Wage Subsidy) calculator, responds to questions about eligibility, application and processing, and provide charities with the information they need to apply.
The sector has been advocating for relief measures to help charities and nonprofits weather COVID-19, and we're starting to see results. We've created a summary of Federal Government COVID-19 programs that apply to the sector, and will regularly update it as more programs are announced.
Each week, we're curating parliamentary updates and sector advocacy news that affects the sector, including government announcements related to COVID-19 economic relief for charities and nonprofit organizations, and any new data, reports, and stories that keep you informed as the crisis unfolds.
Our team has compiled an evolving and comprehensive list of articles, resources, upcoming digital events, and guides to assist fundraisers during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We need your help to ensure the sector emerges strong from the COVID-19 crisis. By becoming an Imagine Canada supporter, your donation of $15/month would help to strengthen our advocacy and research efforts, helping us to raise our voice for the sector. We're currently focused on fighting for significant funding to be made available to charities—many of which are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 outbreak—to avoid a financial crisis that would jeopardize the charitable and nonprofit sector in Canada. Your support today will allow us to increase our advocacy efforts to ensure that our sector can continue to serve the people and communities you care about most.

There is no doubt about the fact that e-cigarettes or electronic cigarettes are now being promoted as the safest alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. They come in different forms and they include Juuls, vape mods and vape pens. Electronic cigarettes contain e-liquids that comprise of liquids like PG or propylene glycol and VG or vegetable glycerin along with other additional flavourings. However, the biggest question behind these e-liquids is that whether or not they're safe. People question what the Federal Drug Administration thinks about them. Will the e-liquids play a role in reversing the reduction in smoking? Read on to know more on them.
What do recent studies suggest?
All the recent studies that have been done these days prove the fact that vaping e-liquids happen to be a safer alternative than smoking keeping in mind the health impacts. The Public Health England states the fact that electronic cigarettes are 95% safer than smoking and even the Cancer Research UK thinks that vaping is being successful in fighting against diseases related to smoking like cancer and heart issues.
In the year 2016, it was seen that electronic cigarettes helped 49 people in a day to quit smoking. Before choosing e-liquids from buyv2cigs.co.uk/v2-platinum-e-liquids/, you need to know more on the debate which is in full swing among the regulatory bodies and media about whether or not vaping is safer than smoking.
Is vaping safer than smoking conventional cigarettes?
The main difference between electronic cigarettes and traditional cigarettes is the former doesn't contain tobacco and hence there is no proof that it can cause cancer of any kind. On the contrary, you'll be rather surprised to know that traditional tobacco cigarettes which are combustible, contain a long list of chemicals which are proved to be harmful and electronic cigarettes have similar chemicals. The detectable levels of carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which the users are exposed are extremely harmful for your body.
On the other hand, due to the fact that e-liquids or e-cigarettes are smokeless, they can be both safer for the health of people and also for the environment. Though the vapour of e-cigarette doesn't resolve in visible smoke or any obvious smell, it still has got an adverse impact on the quality of air even when you vape indoors.
Therefore, e-cigarettes or juuls or such products have been around for a long time now. If you're someone who has been trying to quit smoking for a long time, try vaping as this can help you ditch the habit.

All You Need to Know About the Deadly Viruses in the World.
There are various kinds of viruses and they have been on the planet for billions of years. There are various ways that you will find viruses' existing to ensure that they cope up with their victims. Viruses are different, there are some that will often cause severe outbreaks while some will have mild and last for years. There are viruses that will be lethal and lack treatment procedures of any kind. The first one is zika virus, it has been known to cause symptoms, especially in the USA territories. You find that the carrier of zika virus is mosquitos and passed to various people across the universe.
There are high chances of getting Ebola especially in those West African countries that occurred in the years 2015 and 2016. Ebola has been known to cause issues in life and this has been seen to have various ways of carrying out life, you need to be safe and this is the reason you need to have the right mechanisms of taking yourselves as well as your dear ones.
Lassa fever is another type of virus which is the scariest. This is because you can have the virus but doesn't show the symptoms. There is not even one symptom that is going to make you doubt that you will be having the virus now that it doesn't come with any symptoms. Only a few to no persons will detect they are suffering from the virus and this is scary indeed. The virus is very complex to detect. Now that the scientists are professionals, they have come up with a strategic way which will be effective in discovering the virus. No need to be very scared if you are found with the virus because it is not that deadly. However the disease spreads from one person to the other and people cannot tell when it is happening. You need to avoid getting into contact with urine or feces because they are the main cause for the spread.
Mers is another virus which causes very severe respiratory illness. The upper respiratory is going to be really impacted by his virus. If you feel like sneezing or coughing, always cover your mouth or ask the person near you to do so. Once the virus has been spread, there is no cure yet which has been found but the victims die. Chikungunya is a virus which spread when humans get into contact with the mosquitos.

Santa Smiles
Lyn wen to the Casino on Saturday and ran into Santa.
She was so happy that she insisted on showing me this picture when we Skyped on Sunday. I love to see her this happy.
On a side note, two things I noticed in connection with this picture. First, she when showed me, she was so shaky and unstable that Mom had to reach out and steady Lyn's hand. Second, when I finally saw the picture up close, I realized Lyn had clenched her right hand into a fist.

Glass Interior Doors are a fun and modern way to make your home look like something out of a magazine. With the installation of glass interior doors, you can change the ambiance of your entire house to reflect something much different than what you see in your house today. Because there are so many different types of doors that you can choose to have installed in your home, something as dramatic as a glass interior door might seem a bit too much, but in reality glass interior doors are making their way into homes around the country. There are many different styles and types. No matter how drastic or subtle you hope the change is, you can find what you are looking for when you invest in glass interior doors.
Glass interior doors do a great deal for a living area to make it look more friendly and cheery. Because most doors do little but close off a certain area from the rest of the house, installing a glass interior door will open up the entire space. Even when the door is closed, being able to see into that area will create an illusion of open space which can be felt throughout that area of the house. More importantly than opening up the living area, a glass door can help you to keep an eye on your little ones.
When your children are playing noisy video games or watching a movie with the volume up all the way, you can separate yourself from the loudness without having to sacrifice your watchful eye over the kids. From far away, you can still see what the children are up to in the living room. Similarly, any room that you install a glass interior door into will be given the chance to be seen without having to be occupied. An office, for instance, is able to boast an extensive library and regal looking reading area without having to keep the doors wide open and obstructing the walking area round about it. Additionally, glass interior doors can be etched and designed to reflect the feeling and meaning that you would like your home to reflect. Many people choose to have their family crest etched onto their glass interior doors so that they are able to show their friends and family just how important that symbol is to them. You can create any design to be etched onto the glass.

Why You Should Consider Making Room Additions To Your Home
There are many reasons you should consider adding a few room additions to your existing home. One of the reasons why room additions may be a good idea for you is if your family is growing out of your current home size. If for example you have a new little one on the way and no more rooms, adding a new room may be just what you need. Room additions do not have to be costly and the work can be done by you if you are handy with tools. If however you do not know how to do not have the skills needed to add additional rooms to your home, you could always call out a professional to do the job for you. Make sure to get a total price or at least an estimate of what it will cost you so that you are not surprised in the end.
Another reason to consider making room additions to your current home is if you want to sell your home. If you would like to get more money than your home is currently appraising for, then adding space to your home with a room addition is a great idea. Also, you can add on a new room such as a weight room, and music room, or a bonus room, that would be very appealing to potential buyers.
Another reason to create a new room in your home might be if your child home schools and he needs a quiet room to do this in. You could easily add on a small office in which your child could do their home school so that they will be more able to concentrate on their work and not be interrupted by other children in the home. Once your child is grown and no longer schooling a home you can change this new addition into anything you wish it to be.
You may decide to add a garage to your home. This would be a great room addition if you do not currently have a garage. If you live in a cold climate it's a good idea to keep your cars in the garage so that they do not become old before their time.
Another reason you may want to add a room addition is if you have a room that is too big for the purpose it is being used for. For example if you have one large bedroom and you find the need for two, you can simply create two rooms out of this one room. This is an easy way to give your children the space they will desire as they become older.
No matter the reason you decide for your room addition, it can make your home a nicer place for everyone.

Don't be afraid of redundancy. As developers and database developers we try to reuse components and objects as much as possible. We try not to create two functions that do the same thing, and we try to model relational OLTP databases so that every data element is defined just once. Let go of this objective.
A data warehouse serves individual purposes, and everyone's purpose. To make this happen with a non-redundant streamlined data model is very difficult. Data that needs to be measured transactionally may also need to be aggregated, and it may need point-in-time reporting capabilities. This could mean you store the same data three different ways. And that's ok.

Our culture does all it can to avoid death issues. Christians have hope in the face of death, but even "popular Christianity" seems too often to go for the fluff.
Death has been part of my consciousness for years. In my formative days I heard preaching described as "a dying man talking to dying people," and that shaped my approach to declaring the Scriptures for three decades.
This morning's Office of Readings has a wonderful selection from St. Ambrose, the Church Father from the fourth century:
The Lord allowed death to enter this world so that sin might come to an end. But he gave us the resurrection of the dead so that our nature might not end, and the resurrection was to enable our nature to continue for ever."Death" in this context is a passover to be made by all mankind. You must keep facing it with perseverance. It is a passover from corruption, from mortality to immortality, from rough seas to a calm harbor. The word "death" must not trouble us; the blessings that come from a safe journey should bring us joy. What is death but the burial of sin and the resurrection of goodness?
Here is a saying you can depend on: If we have died with him, we shall also live with him; if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him (2 Tim 2:11,12)
Think about it!

NonprayingMantis:mercutio:NonprayingMantis:freitasm: You have to pay an extra $10 to use 4G. Not available on prepay.
Ggiven that if you don't pay the $10 you still get DC speeds which as we have seen are pretty damn fast, and certianly fast enough to do almost anything you could possibly want to do with a data plan smaller than 5GB (and in most cases smaller than 2GB), why would anyone pay for 4G?
it's kind of like asking why would people pay for vdsl when they can get adsl2 much cheaper. if you don't want to / don't need it, then don't pay for it :) but just like if you can get vdsl you're more likely to get fast adsl2 the same thing applies. if you're in 4g area you're likely to get faster 3g speeds because newer gear / decent backhaul etc are needed.
and that is why for most people, upgrading to VDSL is pointless (and hence most ISPs haven't launched it), and, for that matter, same goes for Fibre. 130k houses passed, 3k uptake.
The benefits of VDSL for some people are clear though. e.g. ADSL upload is tortuous for doing large files or multi-user households
But there really is no material difference (for the customer) between 3GDC and 4G ESPECIALLY with data plans typically 500MB-1GB
yeah, but if you're in a vdsl capable area, then you're likely to get adsl speeds of at least 12 megabit, rather than less than 8 megabit. if you're a 4g area you're probably likely to get at least 4 megabit on 3g..
3g upload is pretty bad for me on vodafone with 100ish kbit on 3g. but i'm not in a 3gdc or 4g area, so i expect that if my area gets upgraded to 4g i'll magically get better 3g speeds.
my phone is 7.2 megabit i think. something like that, so i'm not eligible for 3gdc or 4g, but i would prefer slightly faster speeds. currently 2degrees is about 3 or 4 times faster on the same phone.
and overall i am pleased with having 4g rollout starting to happen, even though i don't have 4g phone. and maybe if i buy a new phone i'll make sure i get 3gdc or 4g.
and if you see johnr's latency number, he's got 22 msec on speedtest.net, which 3g never does. and with tethering the difference between 20 and 80 msec latency is going to be noticable. enough so that if i tethered often and had 4g in the region i was, and 4g device i would definitely pay $10/month just for that.

I went over to UST to get a hold of another copy of my transcript the other day. I have to say, the school has changed quite a lot over the past 4 years.
I didn't have time to take a lot of pictures, but here are some I thought people might find interesting.
This is the area behind the Library. I don't really remember what was behind this area before, but I'm sure there was a kiosk or something there... I don't remember this area to be so open before. But it looked like a good place for the performers of Paskuhan to practice their dance moves. :3
Walking towards the main building from the Dapitan gate, I noticed what used to be 2 floors of parking space had a 4-story building now. I'm assuming it's still being used as a parking space, but I didn't get a good look to tell.
Finally, after placing my request for a transcript, I walked back to the car and got a good look at the new building in front of the library. There used to be an open area there with some statues, and now it's been replaced with a Student Center. I think the building has "Tan Yap" on the entrance. What that means... well, your guess is a good as mine.
It was nice that the guards thought I was a student who was passing her final project or something like that. :3 They didn't think much about me not having an I.D. and told me to remember to bring it next time.
Frankly, I remembered security to be a lot stricter. Maybe it's because Paskuhan is around the corner?
Of course, what trip to UST would be complete without Almer's?
Almer's Canteen's sizzling porkchop was still as good as ever. The meal cost me P45 + drinks. This was a favorite spot among Fine Arts students since we had to work around a tight budget.
You'll find Almer's in one of the eskinitas along Dapitan. I believe it's the street between Wendy's and the Bus Terminal. x3 But since my sense of direction is anything but reliable, please do correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: Well, I'm not wrong-wrong, but thanks to Mirage, Almer's street name is "Alfredo Street". You have to go past Chowking to see the tiny street. :3 Thanks, Mirage!
I want to eat there again. ;~; Delicious food is hard to find these days. It may be a canteen, but the food sure doesn't taste like it was from an ordinary canteen.

The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Facebook (FB), Bank of America (BAC) and Home Depot (HD). These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
You can see all of today's research reports here >>>
Facebook's shares have outperformed the S&P 500 year to date (+50.7% vs. +22.8%). The Zacks analyst believes that solid mobile ad revenues, driven by impressive growth in Instagram Stories and Feed, and Facebook News Feed, are a major growth driver.
Interactive Stories ads on Instagram are likely to lead to better interaction among people, businesses and advertisers. Moreover, strong adoption of Oculus Quest is a key catalyst. Facebook's initiatives to improve privacy, transparency and authenticity of ads are likely to boost user trust and engagement.
Further, partnerships with ESPN and Fox for sports-related streaming on Facebook Watch are a positive. However, a persistent mix shift toward Stories is anticipated to hurt ARPU. Also, the company's rising regulatory headwinds, including the antitrust investigation and the EU's investigation of Libra, are a concern.
(You can read the full research report on Facebook here >>>)
Shares of Bank of America have gained 20.2% in the past three months against the Zacks Major Regional Banks rise of 18.5%. The Zacks analyst believes that opening branches in new regions, improved digital offerings, decent loan growth and efforts to control costs will aid profitability despite the Fed's accommodative monetary policy stance.
The bank's earnings have surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. Also, efforts to focus more on consumer banking business have started bearing fruits. The company's enhanced capital deployment actions reflect a strong balance sheet position.
However, dismal performance of capital markets continues to hurt the company's investment banking and trading businesses, which in turn will hamper fee income growth. Litigation issues related to its business misconducts in the pre-crisis period are likely to lead to higher legal costs.
(You can read the full research report on Bank of America here >>>)
Home Depot's shares have gained 16.9% over the past six months against the Zacks Retail Building Products industry's rise of 17.3%. The Zacks analyst attributed the company's recent setbacks to lower-than-expected sales results in third-quarter fiscal 2019, which was followed by a slashed view for fiscal 2019.
The top line lagged primarily due to timing issues related to the receipt of certain benefits from the One Home Depot investments. Further, commodity deflation in lumber and copper partly hurt the company's comparable sales performance. Moreover, its margins remained soft.
However, the company kept its earnings beat streak alive. Earnings benefited from progress on strategic investments. Its efforts to provide an interconnected shopping experience to customers, with innovative products and improved productivity, also position it for growth.

Problem Construction and Creativity: The Role of Ability, Cue Consistency, and Active Processing
Document Type
Publication Date
Publication Title
Creativity Research Journal
First Page
Last Page
Problem construction has been suggested as the first step in creative problem solving, but our understanding of the underlying process is limited. According to a model of problem construction (Mumford, Reiter-Palmon, & Redmond, 1994), problem construction ability, active engagement in problem construction, and the presence of diverse and inconsistent cues influence creative problem solving. To test these hypotheses, 195 undergraduates were asked to solve 6 real-life problems and complete a measure of problem construction ability. Active engagement in problem construction was manipulated by instructions to the participants. Cue consistency was manipulated by the information presented in the problem situation. The quality, originality, and creativity of the solutions were evaluated. Results indicated that problem construction ability was related to higher quality solutions as well as solutions rated as more original. Problem construction ability also interacted with cue consistency such that individuals with high problem construction ability produced solutions of higher quality and originality when faced with inconsistent cues. The implication of these findings to our understanding of creative problem solving and the problem construction process are discussed.

Upstate ridesharing fees to benefit local transit
By Jimmy Vielkind
ALBANY — The 50-cent fee that officials are preparing to levy on ride-hailing trips outside of New York City will fund both the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and other public transit systems, officials said Tuesday.
POLITICO reported Tuesday that draft legislation will levy the fee on all ride-hailing trips — in cars run by companies like Uber and Lyft — that start outside of New York City. In counties serviced by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority — Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties as well as Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange and Dutchess counties in the Hudson Valley — those fees will be remitted to the MTA.
In other upstate counties, the fees will be directed to a dedicated fund that supports other public transportation systems. Elected officials from upstate areas immediately pounced on the idea of using upstate fees to support trains and buses in New York City and its suburbs, something that a spokesman for Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie assured is not being contemplated as the bill continued to be negotiated.
"There is no final agreement, but it should be noted that in the draft, and what has always been the case, is that the charge for rides originating outside the MTA region would go toward upstate transit needs," said Heastie spokesman Mike Whyland.
The Citizens Budget Commission has warned that Uber's growing popularity in New York City — where it operates as a for-hire service, and is not subject to the same MTA-supporting 50-cent fee as traditional taxis — could hurt the transportation authority's coffers.
On Twitter, the CBC called the proposed fees a "modest step" in the "right direction."
Mike Elmendorf, state director for the Associated General Contractors, said any public money generated by ride-sharing trips should also benefit roads.
"If there's a new revenue stream, this doesn't make a lot of sense," he said. "These ride-sharing cars are using roads and bridges to transport people. So at a minimum, it ought to be evenly split between supporting transit and supporting the systems these vehicles are using."

Microsoft is giving Milo and Kate credit for things it might not have actually done.
There seems to be some confusion at Microsoft over how Frontier Development's Kinect launch title Kinectimals came into being. Microsoft has once again said that the technology used in Lionhead's imaginary friend simulator Milo and Kate found its way into Kinectimals, despite protests from Frontier when the very same thing was suggested earlier in the year
Microsoft's Alex Kipman reiterated that Milo was never meant to be a commercial product. Instead, he said, it was a sandbox where developers learned how to use all the tools that Kinect brought to the table in a single experience. The knowledge gleaned from working on Milo, about how you could make strong emotional experiences using Kinect, not to mention the Kinect technology itself, had "migrated" over to Kinectimals, which Kipman said had many of the same virtues, only with a cute tiger cub in place of a young boy.
"This is one of what I would say was one of the key innovations," Kipman said. "That captured people's minds with Milo - this idea that we could create an emotion engine, an engine that would fuse these human input behaviors and create a relationship with this imaginary character. What I think you see in Kinectimals is precisely that."
This all sounds fine, but when Microsoft Game Studios' Phil Spencer suggested the same thing back in July, Frontier Developments' chairman David Braben was very quick to deny it, saying that Kinectimals had been in development before the studio had even become aware of Milo's existence. Assuming that this isn't some attempt by Microsoft to save face after showing off a game that was too ambitious to ever be released; either Braben or Kipman is mistaken. Considering that for a while Microsoft couldn't seem to make up its mind whether Milo was just a tech demo or not, it seems reasonable to assume that it's Kipman that has the faulty information.

Guests dig deep at Gift of Life Ball
22nd January 2019
The World Transplant Games 2019 kicked off their fundraising activities with the fabulous Gift of Life Ball at Hilton Hotel on Saturday 19 January, raising an incredible £80,000 towards staging the Games.
Guests generously dug deep at the sparkling event in support of this Summer's Games which take place in NewcastleGateshead from 17-24 August. Known as the 'Transplant Olympics', the Games will see around 3000 transplant athletes and supporters from across the World compete in sports from basketball to tennis, swimming to athletics. The Games, sponsored by Westfield Health, are a celebration of a second chance of living life to the full and aim to raise awareness of organ donation.
310 guests enjoyed a spectacular evening with superb MC Miss Rory and the fabulous Lorraine Crosby and her Band providing entertainment and keeping the guests dancing until the early hours.
Companies from across NewcastleGateshead and the North East bought tables in support of the glitzy event including Bidfood, Collingwood Insurance, Cellular Solutions, TSG, True Potential and Barclays.
The impressive total raised was made possible thanks to the generosity of auction prize donors and those who donated throughout the evening to bag a prize. The Gift of Life tree and raffle proved popular with guests with one very lucky lady taking home a beautiful diamond ring, valued at £4k, provided by Donor Family Network.
The evening's highlight was the much-anticipated auction and bidding was very competitive. Just a few of the items going under the hammer were villa holidays in St Lucia and Majorca, inner ringside tickets for an Anthony Joshua boxing fight and a Tuscany Vineyard experience. Local artists and twins Steve and Chris Rocks from Spennymoor were in attendance to see their painting auctioned and renowned live painter Ben Mosley created a work of the iconic Tyne Bridge and Quayside.
GB Team Manager Lynne Holt and transplant athlete Kaylee Davidson also spoke at the event and guests were incredibly moved by videos of transplant stories.
Graham Wylie, Chair of the Local Organising Committee for World Transplant Games said: "The Gift of Life Ball was a huge success. I'd like to thank all the incredible prize donors, auction bidders, and guests for helping us to reach this impressive total as well as all those who worked behind the scenes to make the evening very special. The Ball is just one of the many activities that will be staged to raise funds for the NewcastleGateshead Games and to throw the spotlight on organ donation. Tickets will soon go on sale for the Afternoon Tea which takes place at Hilton Hotel on 29 March."
Graham Moore, Chairman at Westfield Health, a lead sponsor of the games said: "The World Transplant Games is a fantastic initiative which raises awareness of such an important cause. It showcases the importance of transplants and the inspirational stories of those who have received them. It's wonderful to see such generous contributions at fundraising activities like the Gift of Life Ball, raising incredible amounts to support the games."

Considering the serious tone of earlier dramas by Lynn Nottage, such as Ruined (winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize) and Intimate Apparel (which should have won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize), it's surprising to find that her newest play, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, is a flat-out comedy. You might even call it a farce. Of course, it still manages to tackle an important topic in African American history along the way.
The play uses a double-pronged structure to tackle the fascinating subject of black women who played poorly written servant and slave roles in early Hollywood films. It is not unlike Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George or Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.
In Act One, set in 1933, Vera Stark (Sanaa Lathan) is introduced as the gorgeous maid of whiny and self-absorbed Hollywood scarlet Gloria Mitchell (Stephanie J. Block). Mitchell is currently on the verge of landing the lead role of The Belle of New Orleans, an epic film depicting the Old South.
Stark is hoping to be cast in the key supporting role of the heroine's slave. Act one ends with Stark attempting to impress upon the film's Russian director that she can convey a raw, authentic past by hilariously rewriting her past. Meanwhile, companions are breaking into a verse of "Let My People Go" and sporting a fake accent.
At the top of act two, which is set in the present day, a film historian is leading a discussion on Stark's performance in The Belle of New Orleans. He and two other commentators watch a clip of a 1973 talk show in which Stark made her last public appearance before mysteriously disappearing.
A recurring debate is whether or not Stark degraded herself by playing menial and degrading roles. In her defense, Stark claims that she made the most of her opportunities and opened new doors for black performers. There are also subtle hints of a hidden lesbian relationship between Stark and Mitchell.
Jo Bonney's excellent production is marked by sublimely ridiculous performances from an excellent ensemble including Block, Karen Olivo, Daniel Breaker and David Garrison. Lathan manages to portray Stark as a sexy and savvy individual with the confidence and knowhow to rise to the top of her profession.

Series: Veronica Mars #1
Published by Allen & Unwin, Vintage on March 25, 2014
Source: Publisher
Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, Mystery
Amazon | Book Depository
Add to Goodreads
From Rob Thomas, the creator of groundbreaking television series and movie Veronica Mars, comes the first book in a thrilling new mystery series.
Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California, Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption. She's traded in her law degree for her old private investigating license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case.
Now it's spring break, and college students descend on Neptune, transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a frenzied, week-long rave. When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to investigate. But this is not a simple missing person's case. The house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to Veronica's past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined.
This makes me miss Veronica Mars so bad. It was one of my favourite shows when it first came out and I just loved the snarky blonde detective and the handsome bad boy Logan *googly eyes*. Thankfully, after the success of the kickstarter for the movie, it seems like fans really want more Veronica Mars. There's now a movie, a spin-off web series – Play It Again Dick, and the Veronica Mars book series.
Occurring after the events of the movie, where Veronica has returned to Neptune to work alongside her father at Mars Investigations, she is hired by Neptune's Chamber of Commerce to track down a missing girl. I really enjoyed The Thousand Dollar Tan-Line, because it brought to life my favourite characters who were true to themselves. As Veronica Mars is back in Neptune, old characters from the TV series will make a return and it's filled with the snark, humour and warm and fuzzy feelings that we have grown to love.
There weren't many people in this world who would let you be vulnerable and still believe you were strong.
The Thousand-Dollar Tan-Line is a classic twisty mystery that we've come to expect from the series, which can be only be solved by Veronica's doggedness for justice. It will deliver some shocks along the way, and I never saw the end coming. From relying on her friend Mac's hacking techniques, to dangerous investigations, good old fashioned detective work, and unfortunately – the incompetent and corrupt Sheriff Lamb, she'll throw everything she has at the case. It does actually become a personal journey along the way, which gave me so many feels, and added to Veronica's development as a character even 9 years later.
I'll be the first to say it – I'm not sure why Veronica would bother spending 9 years studying law in New York only to throw it away when she returned to Neptune, and the book unconvincingly tries hard to work this angle. But we know the real reason – it's to give us more material for fans of the series, and you can't really argue with that.
The hazard of living in a place where you had so much history–so much pain and so much rage and so much love–was that every item could turn on you in a flash.
While I didn't listen to the audiobook, I love how it's narrated by Veronica herself – Kristen Bell, which would make the experience even more authentic. I'm not sure how you'd go with the book if you weren't a Veronica Mars fan though, as it's filled with references to past events and characters. The book does well to recap some of this, but I'm not sure whether you'd enjoy it as much as I did.
One gripe I had about the book – WE NEED MORE LOGAN! It just made me so sad and emotional that Veronica's encounters with Logan were limited to a few Skype calls, but I guess that's what happens when you date a marine.
A Thousand Dollar Tan-Line is perfect fan service for Veronica Mars lovers, giving us more snark, humour, and the good old characters of Neptune. It made me miss the series horribly and wish we could watch it on TV instead of reading it as a book, but I'm not going to say no if it's more Veronica and Logan. It stays pretty true to the character and the series, with a highly engaging mystery filled with twists and turns. While I loved it, I'm not sure how you'd go if you were new to the series, but it's worth a try if you love twisty detective mysteries with snarky characters.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Kettle's Yard is back
Iconic works return to display alongside new masterpieces in visionary re-imagining of beloved collection
Kettle's Yard is one of the best-loved modern art collections in the UK, with a unique history inspired by the vision and passion of former Tate curator Jim Ede (1895-1990).

Gathering together a remarkable collection of works by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, Henry Moore, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Barbara Hepworth among many others, it has for decades been both a mecca and a refuge for lovers of 20th and 21st century art in its myriad forms.
Now, as Kettle's Yard opens its doors following a two-year, multi-million pound redevelopment and transformation of its gallery spaces, the work of 38 leading contemporary and historic internationally-renowned artists has gone on display in a spectacular opening show.
We thought you might like a look inside the 'new' Kettle's Yard, which reopened to the public on Saturday, February 10, to learn more about its past – and future.

As early as 1954, the distinguished curator and collector Jim Ede had envisaged creating '…a living place where works of art would be enjoyed, inherent to the domestic setting, where young people could be at home unhampered by the greater austerity of the museum or public art gallery.'
Before the Second World War, Jim Ede had worked as a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. After the war, he lived and worked in France. In 1956, having previously created beautiful homes in London, Tangier and Northern France, he and his wife Helen acquired a row of cottages in Kettle's Yard, on a small street in what was then a working-class area of central Cambridge.
Jim Ede with Gaudier-Brzeska's Bird Swallowing Fish
There, with the help of architect Rowland de Winton Aldridge, they remodelled the cottages into a home that they filled with art and beautiful objects, both man-made and natural.
Each afternoon in term-time, they opened their house to any Cambridge student who wished to visit. For many, it became a home from home, and an intimate introduction to art.
Jim Ede collected many things – pictures, glass, china, carpets, ceramics, furniture and much more, including natural objects such as stones, shells and feathers.
His contemporary art collection drew strongly on his connections with artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, David Jones and Christopher Wood, and on his passion, over many years, for the works of the sculptor Henry Gaudier-Brzeska (Ede was Gaudier-Brzeska's biographer, and had founded a room of his work in the Musée Nationale d'Art Moderne in Paris).
He was a major collector of paintings by Alfred Wallis, to whose work he was introduced by Ben Nicholson.
In 1966, Jim and Helen Ede donated Kettle's Yard to the University of Cambridge, and in 1970, Sir Leslie Martin was commissioned to extend the cottages, to accommodate more of the collection and – especially appropriate given Jim Ede's love of music – to provide a space for recitals.
Jim Ede's notice inviting undergraduates to visit Kettle's Yard
The new space, was opened in 1970 by the Prince of Wales, and the opening recital was by Jacqueline du Pré and Daniel Barenboim.
Jim Ede's book about Kettle's Yard, 'A Way of Life', was published in 1984. In this book, alongside detailed images of each corner of the House, he describes the'stillness' of Kettle's Yard, calling it '…a place where people feel at rest…' and refers, also, to the 'beauty of everyday life'.
The sentiment remains just as true today, in the 21st century, as it did in the mid-1980s.
The 'new' Kettle's Yard
After two years of development by Jamie Fobert Architects, the long-awaited public opening of the New Kettle's Yard in Cambridge took on Saturday, February 10, 2018.
Carefully conceived to complement and enhance the qualities of the original House occupied by Jim Ede, the development includes major new exhibition galleries, generous education spaces, a cafe and new welcome areas, placing Kettle's Yard back on the map as one of the best-loved, most influential centres for contemporary and modern art outside London.

"What is special about Kettle's Yard is that it came from one man's vision," said Jamie Fobert. "Jim wanted to bring contemporary art, as his collection was then, into the home, and allow people to see it in that setting. It was not meant to have the remoteness of an art gallery.
"I often describe leaving the cottages and going into the Leslie Martin space as an Alice in Wonderland experience. It is a complete change, but so subtle and continuous that you might not notice it. I hope that people will continue from the Martin building into mine and equally have no idea - that somehow Kettle's Yard will feel like one single experience, but a richer one now."

Kettle's Yard's renowned programmes for young people will be expanded, benefitting from the new state-of-the-art learning spaces at the heart of the development.
The new spaces, including the Clore Learning Studio will increase the capacity for learning activities by nearly 200%. A Research Space, open to all, will enable academic research and artist and community engagement projects, utilising the collection and remarkable archive.
Community Officer for Kettle's Yard, Karen Thomas, said "As Kettle's Yard is a home, it's part of a neighbourhood and a wider community, so we work together with our neighbours to support community cohesion through creativity.
"For me, one of the best parts of my job is seeing the change in people's behaviour when they walk into Kettle's Yard, seeing the light in their eyes as they look around."

Two new galleries and an education suite have been configured, continuing the meandering journey that begins in the cottages and moves through Sir Leslie Martin and David Owers' extension.
The present and future needs of Kettle's Yard are met with much-needed new contemporary gallery spaces and two spaces for art education.
A new glass entrance area, framed in bronze has been inserted into the entry courtyard, which allows movement between the galleries,the House and a new café located where offices had once been.
With the completion of this new development, Kettle's Yard is enabled to reach its true potential as a world-class centre for engaging with modern and contemporary art in the 21st century.
Kettle's Yard Director, Andrew Nairne, said: "Over the thirteen years it has taken to reach this moment, and the two years of work on the building, many organisations and hundreds of people have been involved and I want to thank everyone.

"It is now time for us to open the doors of Kettle's Yard and invite new visitors and old friends alike to discover the gallery. I believe Kettle's Yard, with its remarkable collection and vibrant connections with artists of today, can be a beacon for the next generation."

'A space for calm – in a world of chaos'
The area known as Kettle's Yard derived its name from the Kettle family. During the 18th century the family built a popular theatre on the site which was promptly closed by University authorities on the grounds it would corrupt the morals of the students.
'Kettle's Yard' gradually declined into one of the city's poorest areas; a place for small businesses and jobbing tradesmen. By the early 20th century, it was an overcrowded site made up of cottages, workshops, pubs and shops, and increasingly regarded as a slum. After the Second World War, and in parallel with the post-war drive in Britain for urban reconstruction, the area underwent radical change.
Only four dilapidated cottages were spared during the area's regeneration and it was in this derelict state that Jim and Helen Ede first discovered the site in 1956. The Edes worked quickly. By the end of 1957, the house was ready to receive its first visitors.
"It would be interesting to be lent a great house on the verge of a city - or a place of beauty in a town (Cambridge I have in mind) and make it all that I could of lived-in beauty, each room an atmosphere of quiet and simple charm, and open to the public (in Cambridge, the students especially)."
Ede did not have a vast fortune at his disposal with which to purchase art. Instead, he often acquired works by exchange or through the generosity of his artist friends. He also purchased works by artists at the early stages of their careers.
As well as the Gaudier-Brzeksa estate, which formed the backbone of the collection, the display of Ede's collection of Alfred Wallis paintings helped to establish the painter's place in the history of art. Until then, only a few individuals had recognised the quality of Wallis' work.
Andrew Nairne said: "What makes Kettle's Yard remarkable? There's a wonderful sense that the house is more than a house, it's a place of ideas and imagination and inspiration, it appeals to all the senses: you can hear the sounds of the cottage, you can smell the flowers and you can sit down in all the different chairs Jim Ede had in his house.
"And it's the combination of beautiful ambience, the light, the cut flowers, and the sense that Jim really had a vision about how you might lead your life, how you might organise your own spaces, and how you might go away from Kettle's Yard and rearrange wherever you live, that inspires you to think about the world in a different way.
"It's a place with beautiful art, beautiful furniture, a wonderful atmosphere, a place where people do seem to be constantly inspired When we think about Kettle's Yard in the future, we want to ensure that our education programme, our exhibitions and our concerts reach the widest possible audience. This would fulfil the vision of Jim Ede when he created the Kettle's Yard house; to have a living programme every year which is inspiring, imaginative and thrilling."
"Jim created Kettle's Yard as a space for calm in a world of chaos – and we maintain that in the work we do with our neighbourhoods in North Cambridge.
Added Thomas: "We really take on the philosophy of Jim who opened his doors to all and we want to continue to make sure Kettle's Yard is accessible to all, to empower young people to create their own art and to create opportunities for them to become the next curator or the next musician of the future."

Kettle's Yard reopens with a spectacular opening exhibition, Actions. The image of the world can be different (from February 10 - May 6, 2018).
It is inspired by a letter written by artist Naum Gabo, a close friend of Jim Ede. Actions brings together work across a variety of forms and media made by artists of different generations, from the emerging to the renowned.
The exhibition features work by 38 artists including nine new commissions by Rana Begum, Jeremy Deller, eL Seed, Idris Khan, Issam Kourbaj, Harold Offeh, Melanie Manchot, Cornelia Parker and Caroline Walker.

In the new gallery spaces, visitors will encounter iconic works by Richard Long, Ben Nicholson and Mary Kelly, with new and recent work by Julie Mehretu, Oscar Murillo, Regina José Galindo and Linder among others. Actions also includes works by Khadija Saye, who tragically died in the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017.
For the Kettle's Yard House, works by Cornelia Parker and Edmund de Waal have been installed among the permanent collection. Callum Innes has made a set of watercolours to be shown in the new Research Space.
Rana Begum has created a new large-scale installation for the church of St. Peter's next to Kettle's Yard, and Tunisian artist eL Seed has created a new mural in North Cambridge.
There will be live events throughout the exhibition to include a newly commissioned dance work by Candoco Dance Company with choreographer Laila Diallo, and performances by Harold Offeh, Anna Brownsted, Issam Kourbaj and Emma Smith.
Regina José Galindo will perform new 'actions' in the House at Kettle's Yard and in the Front Court of King's College Cambridge. Composer and pianist Kate Whitley has been commissioned to create a new piece.

Actions: an introduction by Andrew Nairne
"Every exhibition has its own story. A few years ago I came across the first monograph on the work of Naum Gabo, an artist in the Kettle's Yard collection. It was published in 1957. It includes a fold-out facsimile of the Realistic Manifesto wall poster originally pasted up in the streets of Moscow in 1920 and a pair of Perspex spectacles for viewing stereoscopic images of Gabo's sculptures.
The book also has a remarkable exchange of letters between Gabo and the writer and critic Herbert Read, originally published in Horizon magazine in July 1944.
Gabo's letter addresses questions he is frequently asked, including: 'What do my works contribute to society in general, and to our time in particular?' In an especially moving section, he accepts that his art may be perceived as 'irrelevant' to the immediate needs of a world at war.
When we began discussing how we could best celebrate the opening of the new Kettle's Yard, I remembered Gabo's visionary letter, and in particular the following sentence: "I try to guard in my work the image of the morrow we left behind us in our memories and foregone aspirations and to remind us that the image of the world can be different."
Borrowed for an exhibition in the 21st century, Gabo's appeal on behalf of his own art and the artists of his time is still relevant today. The visual arts, in all its forms, have the capacity to change our view of the world and so influence how we individually and collectively act and engage with life.
Jim Ede, who created Kettle's Yard, shared this belief in the purpose and value of art and the interaction between art and life. Ede describes meeting Gabo in his book A Way of Life (1984).
Today, through the generosity of others, Kettle's Yard has a number of Gabo's works in the collection. The most exceptional perhaps is Linear Construction in Space, No.1, made in St. Ives in Cornwall around the time Gabo composed his letter. This beautiful and pioneering sculpture, a harmony of space and light distilled through perspex and nylon threads, usually sits on the black Steinway piano in the Kettle's Yard House. For Actions it will be among the first works encountered by visitors in the new galleries.
If Gabo's vision, his ambition for what art can do, is the inspiration for the exhibition, we also knew we wanted to make an exhibition which would reflect the energising diversity of art now, include commissioned new work and continue long standing creative partnerships with our local communities.
Actions would be our headline title, a definition of art making as something with conscious purpose, though this could take a thousand different forms.
Actions goes beyond the visual arts and includes the architect of the new Kettle's Yard, a composer, a dance company and choreographer.
The aim is to create a gathering of artistic expressions, to see what happens when a myriad of diverse voices come together. The selection is both carefully determined and we hope surprising, working with artists we know well and with others who we have only recently discovered. Of the latter, Khadija Saye, who died in the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017, was just setting out on her career, when we invited her to participate in Actions.
Following in Jim Ede's footsteps, Kettle's Yard has always sought to support emerging artists. It is our privilege to be able to exhibit these deeply felt and luminous photographs for the first time in the UK.
In a television interview late in life the avant-garde Latvian theatre director and writer Asja Lācis (1891 – 1979), said "we have no right to be satisfied with anything, even if things go well. On the contrary, we have to do better. And continuously search for the new, the contemporary."
The art in Actions offers much to aesthetically enjoy and love, but this essential strength is allied to insight about the present moment; the desire to contribute to and animate contemporary discourse, whether cultural, social, political, or economic.
"Above all, taking its cue from Gabo, Actions seeks to reassert the potential of art as a potent force in a troubled world."
