One of the things that creates more anxiety is not knowing: what type of future is in store?
Wildfires? Droughts? Floods? Riots? Financial crash? Unemployment so pervasive that there's no hope? Energy crash and scarcity of fuel and resources? Water and/or food scarcity? Massive displacement of peoples? Resource wars? Civil wars? Extremism from the Right or Left? Insecurity so pervasive in cities that they become unliveable? Pandemics? Mass extinction of animals and plants causing human famine? Killer heatwaves? Child labour? Back to slavery? Human trafficking? Drug cartels and crime lords controlling the land and dwindling resources? Tyrant governments?
The convergence of the many crises: from climate change to resource depletion, widespread pollution, social injustices, overpopulation, etc. not only may bring many of the above scenarios, they are already making them an ongoing reality in many places of the world: the unraveling of collapse is already here, just not evenly distributed.
What would work then?
What may be the best "skills", tools and resources? What could help us to make decisions now, so the future is more bearable?
The answers may be in three worlds: mitigation, adaptation and navigation.
First, we need to understand and believe that some type of collapse is not only inevitable, but it is already underway and unevenly distributed.
That doesn't mean falling into panic state: when a house is on fire, you need to think clearly, otherwise you may hurt yourself and others and make things even worse.
The second step is to think, observe, engage and ask questions:
Professor Jem Bendell has presented four questions for both individuals and communities to ask themselves, he calls them the four "R's":
These four questions may have different answers for different individuals, households and communities: there is no magic bullet. And the questions don't end once they have answered the first time: we need to keep asking them with every step, as things may change, we may change…
Re-skilling is the first step after the above questions have been answered: what skills? How do we know what to choose?
The answer, again, is "it depends". In my opinion, no skill is a waste of time (or money, or energy), because we can be creative and integrate them as the circumstances change.
Some skills may work better under "mitigation": these are skills intended to build the first "R": resilience. Skills that will help us to keep what we love and mitigate the harm: first aid, emergency preparedness, design for disaster, etc.
Other skills may work better under "adaptation": these are skills that respond both to "resilience", "relinquishment" and "restoration" and may include learning how to build shelters, make water drinkable, learning about wild foods, foraging and plant/mushroom ID, adopting healthy habits and engage in fitness of our bodies and souls so we stay flexible and strong and able to support others, learning how to make without, make things from scratch, find substitutes, etc.
Finally, other skills may be better for "navigation": responding to crises and conflicts, ways to stay grounded within chaos, learning how to make things from scratch, stay mentally and emotionally grounded and flexible.
Note: (re-skilling can be very expensive, but doesn't have to be that way, and one thing I recommend to people, particularly if you already have some of these skills or are privileged enough to be able to spend time, money and energy on them, is to teach others in your household and community)
Are there any "useless" skills? Yes, even when you may be able to learn even from "bad" skills, if you want to make the best from your time, energy and money, better to choose wisely.
Here are some questions to ask yourself before you jump to invest in a skill:
Here is a list of some of my favourite skills, some of which I learned many decades ago, some newer, some in my bucket list, and some I teach or do consulting:
What are your favourite skills?
Some ways to acquire these (and other) skills:

Computerized Jaw Tracking: The Technology of the Future
Tooth manufacturers today produce teeth with cusp angles ranging from 0 degrees to more than 30 degrees. Selecting the right degree of tooth can depend on several factors, but the most important is the movement of the patient's mandible as guided by the TMJ. With so many options available to the denturist, how can we be sure that we are selecting the correct cusp angle of tooth for each patient? How can we obtain accurate and construction of a prosthesis that will function in harmony with the patients specific jaw movements.
Let's examine a few current ideas in denture occlusion. Some lower ridges are severely resorbed and a 0-degree cusp tooth should keep the lower denture more stable during the lateral movements of mastication. Some lower ridges are quite large and much less resorbed, but, does this mean that a 30-degree cusp tooth should be used on un-resorbed ridge? Our professional knowledge tells us that this is not necessarily the reason for selecting a shallow or steep cusped tooth. Do 0-degree teeth give a patient less sore spots than steep cusped teeth? If this was true, then teeth with steeper cusps should be phased out of our profession use. Do steep cusped teeth chew better that shallow cusped teeth or are teeth set up in a lingualized occlusion the answer to stability? How would a 0-degree tooth that is set up with an occlusal curve compare in mastication to a cusp tooth set up to a flat plane of occlusion? Cusp angle has much to do with the movement of the mandible as guided by the TMJ.
The condyle angle and bennet angle in conjunction with cuspal guidance directs the mandible's movement. The mandible's angular movement has measureable angles in relation to the plane of occlusion. These angles can be measured and should allow you to make a more meaningful choice when selecting a steep or shallow cusped tooth. With a steeper condyle angle, you should use a steeper cusped tooth and with shallow condyle angle a shallow cusped tooth will function in harmony with the mandible's natural movements. Conventional methods of obtaining condyle angles, bennet angles and cuspal guidance's has for very many years been done using a mechanical device called the face bow. Its accuracy rests in the ability of the practitioner to manipulate the device precisely and consistently. Patient manageability is a factor with a sometimes awkward, complex and time-consuming mechanical device that can be very uninviting to some patients. Should condyle and bennet angle differ significantly from the glenoid fossa to the right glenoid fossa as exists in some patients, the skill of the practitioner can be quite taxed to obtain the correct results.
Welcome to the new evolution in computer technology designed to calculate the precise computerized jaw tracking devices known as electronic faces bows, which can track the many aspects and variations of mandibular movement. KaVo's compromised calculations claim an accuracy of plus or minus 2% for all its angle calculations. The upper model is mounted with the use of a bite fork holder, eliminating the use of a face bow transfer. KaVo's system is an articulator-regulated registration technique and requires the use of a KaVo PROTAR articulator. During the measuring time, this articulator is "virtually" projected into the mouth of the patient.
During the measurement, the PROTAR articulator is "virtually" projected into the skull. This is possible, because all dimensions of the articulator (e.g. intercondylar distance, the distance between the bite fork and the condyles) are known by the ARCUS Digma software.
A possible is when done in conjunction with ARCUS KaVo's Protar 5B, a very sophisticated yet easy-to-use articulator including adjustable Condyle- and Bennett angles. Moreover all other adjustable KaVo articulators as the PROTAR 7 or 9 can be used as well. KaVo system is an articulator-related registration technique and requires the use of a KaVo Protar articulator. The actual measuring time to take condylar readings can take five to 10 minutes excluding the preparation time. The measurements obtained in this short time are astounding. It calculates condyle angles and bennet angles for both left and right sides. It measures incisal guidance have meaning in your practice.
Another function of this computer can perform is the EPA test (electronic position analysis). It can compare various bites to each other. For example, it could compare a correct bite to an incorrect bite and display the comparison three dimensionally in 0.3 mm increments. This is very useful when inserting an implant supported denture where a very correct bite is most important. The EPA test is also useful in determining a splint position or checking a splint's accuracy.
Moreover the tabletop Arcus Digma unit can store up to 12 seconds of mandibular movement and replay or stop at any point of movement for analysis. Accelertions, delays or asymmetrical mandibular movement can be viewed for evaluation.
Arcus Digma has other specialized computer functions that have specific diagnostic applications for highly trained dental specialists that specifically treat TMJ dysfunctions.
The two Arcus Digma systems consists of a self-contained computer with a colour touch screen (tabletop unit) or a two colour screen (handheld), a head bow, a pair of ultrasonic transmitter-sensors that attach to the mandible with a small device called a paraocclussial clutch and to the maxilla with a bite fork. This lightweight hardware does not clutter up the patients face and leaves the practitioner free to operate as normal without any confinements.
For more ease, the whole program can be controlled with a foot control, freeing up your hands completely.
For more ease, the whole program can be controlled with a foot control, freeing up your hands completely.The touch-screen module is connected to a small printer or can be interfaced directly to your office computer for data storage. The whole system is small enough to take from one office to another, especially the Arcus Digma Handheld offers a lot mobility by using a battery operation and a smaller size.
Arcus Digma does not conflict with any bite registration method whether you are using wax bite rims, a pin tracing technique or a non-conventional system like the Acculiner's method of determining a plane of occlusion. As long as you can connect the electronic sensors to the occlusal rims or to the remaining teeth, the Arcus Digma will give you fast and accurate readings. A pin tracer is available through KaVo if pin tracing is your choice of bite registration methods.
With computer calculations of steep or shallow condyle angles, your decision to use a steep or shallow cusped tooth to obtain bilateral balanced occlusion will be an easy decision. The Protar articulator is adjusted to the determined condyle angles and bennet angles. The incisal guidance and cuspal guidance's are set. With the articulator now moving precisely in the way the patients jaw moves the setting up of computer accurate balanced Occlusion is quite easy. You can be sure that you are putting the exact curves into every set up for your patient's unique requirements not just settling for average value curves or flat plane set ups.
With the confidence of this newly attained accuracy your setup will not be the weak link in expensive implant cases. You verify every bite with repeatable accuracy. You can accurately show your patient any jaw movement anomalies such as jaw clicking on the computer screen. You will be more confident with every denture insertion. You may even gain the confidence to construct dentures using very expensive porcelain teeth and have less fear of patients chipping or breaking teeth on these truly precision made dentures. No matter what cusp form tooth, this computer guides you to use on your patient you will know you have engineered a truly bilaterally balanced prosthesis that functions in harmony with every patients unique mandibular movements. With the accuracy of computerized jaw tracking in your practice you elevated the profession of denturist to a new height.

Creativeworld exhibitors brings a smile to children's faces
Left to Right: Michael Reichhold (Messe Frankfurt), Madeline Michaelis (Child Offive), Christopher Huth (Messe Frankfurt)
Children are full of creative ideas: they love to paint, stick and cut up things to make the most impressive objects. For example, cardboard boxes are turned into houses, paper rolls become rockets and disposable bottles are given a new lease of life as unicorns. To promote this creativity, Creativeworld and the Frankfurt Children's Office organise a donation campaign under the motto 'Creative Aid'
This year, for the tenth year running, Creativeworld and the Frankfurt Children's Office called on companies exhibiting at the fair to donate their creative products for a good cause after the fair. And, once again, around 90 manufacturers from home and abroad donated a variety of materials including acrylic paints, water paints, coloured pencils, felt pens, pencils, erasers, modelling clay, glitter, stickers, adhesive, high- quality paper, pulp fabrics, screens and easels. "More than 3,000 children and young people from socially deprived areas of Frankfurt benefit every year from the donations we collect at Creativeworld. I am delighted that so many of our exhibitors support this campaign", says Michael Reichhold, Creativeworld Director, Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH. "I consider it very important that we make this contribution to promoting creativity among young people."
The Frankfurt Children's Office has its own stand at Creativeworld and can therefore make direct contact with exhibitors and tell them more about the project. "Most manufacturers know us and are highly committed to supporting our activities", says Madeleine Michaelis, organiser of the donation campaign at the Frankfurt Children's Office. "We are delighted that Messe Frankfurt makes this stand available to us free of charge. It puts us in the heart of the fair and enables us to coordinate the campaign more efficiently." After the fair closes, young people from 'Naxos Halle', a youth club in the east of Frankfurt, and volunteers go through the halls and collect the donations. All materials are then transported to the Children's Office warehouse where they are sorted and put on display. "When the teachers come to collect the donations, our warehouse looks like a specialist retailer's for creative materials", says Madeleine Michaelis.
More than 50 facilities for children and young people benefit from the donations
On 21 and 22 March, the doors of the Children's Office warehouse in Frankfurt-Riederwald opened and teachers were able to choose whatever they wanted from the wide range of materials available. "Many of the teachers come with precise ideas about how the donations should be distributed. They have projects in the pipeline and they can look for suitable materials here", says Madeleine Michaelis. Invitations were sent to over 50 facilities. As every year, they included kindergartens, primary schools, family centres, play groups and refugee homes.
Nina Vietzke, social educator with the Rhein-Main-Bildung non-profit organisation: "It's great that so many donations have been received. For us, it is a super opportunity to be able to choose from such a big selection of products with something for all ages: water paints for young people and coloured pencils and chalk for the little ones." Valeria Horvat- Ramsperger, kindergarten teacher at the Kinderzentrum Lauterbacher Strasse, is delighted. "For us, it is like Christmas all over again here.
There are valuable materials for our special activities as well as everyday articles, such as erasers, sharpeners, adhesives and pencils. We are planning decorations for our summer festival, Easter and Mother's Day and will also be taking things for these occasions with us."
Children's Art!: the exhibition by children for children
Every year, the Frankfurt Children's Office choose a theme around which the children and young people who have benefited from donations can create a work of art. One of these pictures, collages or objects is selected by the artists from each facility and made available for the Children's Art! exhibition. "The theme for the 2019 exhibition was articles 13 and 17 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Article 13 covers freedom of expression and information while Article 17 deals with the right of access to media, including the protection of children and young people", explains Madeleine Michaelis. "We have already chosen a subject for next year's Children's Art! – the focus will be on Article 241 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which revolves around a child's right to good health." The Children's Art! exhibition is to be found in the Frankfurt Children's Office in Schleiermacherstrasse 7 and is open to members of the public. "If a visitor likes a work of art, it is possible to purchase it via a donation, which would then go toward our 'Sponsorship Fund' for children up to 14 years of age whose parents cannot afford to pay for art, music or sport instruction", says Madeleine Michaelis.
The next Creativeworld will be held from 25 to 28 January 2020.

When the calendar flips to August, it means one thing: Back to School! Parents begin shopping for school clothes and new shoes, scavenging for pencils, notebooks, backpacks, calculators and all other things school. At The CALL, we know the heart breaking fact that "back to school" means new children coming into foster care. We know the real need for more foster homes to provide a safe place for these children who must leave all they know, at no fault of their own. We meet with families all year long who are interested in fostering. At this time, we specifically need homes that are willing to accept school age children. Families that have room for more than one child make dreams come true when they accept siblings. As you can imagine, it is a great day when children can stay together with their brothers and sisters.
If your family is open to learning more about foster care, to help provide that future and hope to kids in foster care in Arkansas, please attend an Informational Meeting. Check our event page to find the date and location of the next opportunity to learn the next steps. Register to attend. You have nothing to lose, a lot to gain and oh, so much more to give!

Please keep this team in your prayers! Stay tuned to this page for all updates in the coming year!
The CALL in Independence County is excited to announce our new P.R.I.D.E. Trainer, Cassie Black. You may ask the question, "What is a P.R.I.D.E. Trainer?" They train families with the required curriculum to be opened as a foster or adoptive home. We asked Cassie some questions about her journey with The CALL. Please read her story.
"My story is a little different than most. I felt the Lord leading me to adoption in 2007 but I was fresh out of college, teaching middle school music and I thought my life would just end-up with adoption. I would get married, have some children and, somewhere down the road, I would adopt. So, I put that calling on the back burner while I waited for a husband." Cassie laughed and continued, "A few husband-less years later, I started reading Kisses from Katie (a blog about a young woman who moved to Uganda and ended up adopting 12 girls who needed a mother and home) and I felt the Lord pushing me toward adoption regardless of my relationship status. I kept saying no, I can't be a mother by myself and that was so out of left field for me to even consider. In the fall of 2012 I could no longer sleep through the night without this feeling of urgency. I needed to get up and do something. I just didn't know what it was." Cassie said she started waking up and praying, asking God to show her why she was feeling this way. He kept reminding her of the 140 million kids who didn't have a family. She recalls, "There was a song by Brooke Frasier that has the line, "now that I have seen, I am responsible. Faith without deeds is dead" and that was it. After all this time, I finally said yes to whatever the Lord had for me in the way of children." At the family gathering for Christmas 2012, she told her family that she said "yes" to the Lord about adoption. She had no idea how that would flesh-out, but she had to say yes. She met with The CALL County Coordinator at the time and learned she could adopt as a single parent (that was the first question) but that she might be interested in the foster care side of things. Information is POWER. She had no idea there were so many children in our own county. Many children that she taught in school were in foster care. When she heard the "kids in foster care vs. available beds" she was shocked. Cassie said, "My number one fear was that I would get "attached" and the child would return home and I would be heartbroken." Cassie remembers as she was sitting at the coordinator's table the Lord gave her this thought:
What is more difficult: for me to be heartbroken or for kids to not be in a loving home where they may hear about Jesus for the first and/or only time in their lives?
So again, she said yes. She started the process in February with CPR classes and The Call PRIDE training classes. She was ready to open in June and the "call" never came. She waited all summer. Cassie couldn't understand why her home wasn't opening. She emailed the county coordinator the first week in August to express her concern and disappointment. Since this was very odd to not be open yet. She promised to check on it, but that she was convinced the Lord was at work placing the kids that needed to be in Cassie's home. Cassie remembers her saying "maybe they aren't even born yet, you never know." Cassie was encouraged and scared because, a NEWBORN? She thought, "No, ma'am…did you know I am single and a teacher?"
Fast forward to September 16th, the lady in charge of opening homes met Cassie during her lunch break to walk through her house and assured her that she would be keyed into the system first thing the following morning. Little did she know that on the afternoon of September 18th, my daughter would be born. God's timing is amazing! DHS called on September 19th and shared there were TWO kids that need a home that day: a 15month old little boy and his one-day-old sister. She thought TWO KIDS? NO. WAY. She had never even considered having two kids in her home much less two babies! The DHS worker asked if she could only take one, which one would she choose? What an unfair question! Her heartbeat was matching the only word pounding in my brain, BOTH. She said, "I will take them both. "So, it was all hands on deck, getting another crib/bassinet, figuring out daycare. She was so blessed to have access to a daycare that would take her precious four-day-old. She got busy buying enough diapers to outfit a daycare and all those little details in just a few hours. At 3:30 that afternoon she went to Wal-Mart and picked up her chubby blonde-haired, blue eyed boy who promptly pulled out a chunk of her hair. She said, out loud, "what am I DOING?" We made it through the night and the next day around noon, she went to the NICU and picked up the most precious tiny baby. She said such a wave of peace that washed over her. She said, "The Lord provided ALL of our needs, and still is, when I thought I couldn't do it anymore."
We asked if she had any connection with the biological parents of her children. She said, "My children's bio-parents only came to a few (less than 5) visits over the course of the next few months and parental rights were terminated very quickly due to a host of things. I am so thankful for my children, but I still grieve for their parents, I am sad that they will never know what wonderful kids the Lord allowed them to bring into the world. Separating a mother from her kids is unimaginable."
On Cassie's birthday she got the okay to start picking out new names. The adoption date was being set. So, she showed up to her party with a little gift of her own: two precious babies wearing shirts with the names Knox Aaron and Nora Lucille, their new names!
Cassie says, "Knox and Nora Lu are gifts from the Lord. I have no doubt in my mind that I was created to be their mother. I am thankful for The CALL for being so supportive and such an incredible resource throughout our journey. My story is so, so unique because foster care isn't there for kids to be adopted, it is there to help families be able to be reunited. Very rarely to do things turn out the way they turned out for us."
Cassie took a year off from fostering so they could just relax and be a family. In 2015, her home opened back up. She had 7 kiddos in and out as temporary placement and thinks of each one of them often. She says, "I felt the Lord was closing the door on foster care for now, so I am looking for opportunities to support The CALL and to help train/support other families in their own journey. Her children are now 4 & 5.
When asked what she would say to those who are thinking about adoption she said, "If you're thinking about it, the Lord already has plans for you to be involved in the process. There are so many ways to be involved and there are too many children in care for Christian's to be on the fence about something that is so clear in the Word. It is hard, unimaginably hard, but we are not called to live easy lives and the Lord will equip you with everything you need. I would encourage anyone thinking about adopting to spend some time with families who have been through the process and to also speak with their local CALL coordinator to get some inside information and a glimpse into the process. EVERY PART was a calling from God. If it had not been for my relationship with the Lord, I probably wouldn't have even considered it." We had one final question for Cassie. How did The CALL assist you in your adoption journey? She replied, "The CALL was amazing. To go through the process with like-minded people was invaluable."
In addition, Cassie shared that her sister and her husband have also adopted 2 kids through foster care. She exclaimed, "It's so cool that the Lord just had this for our family! The cousins will have more in common than being family, they will be best friends! Also, we all moved to Batesville at the same time and live 9 houses away, on the same street!"
If Cassie's story leaves you wanting to know more about fostering, adopting or volunteering, please join us Tuesday, April 10, at Compass Church.
With over 5,000 children in foster care and less than 2,000 foster homes, Arkansas is in a crisis. Since 2014, the number of children in foster care has steadily increased. The State of Arkansas is scratching its head, trying to figure out what to do about the problem.
James 1:27 states, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
Since 2007, The CALL has gone into churches to challenge people to do one of two things: Foster or support those who are able to foster. Little by little, The CALL breaks down the barriers that have kept people from fostering for so long. Over the past 10 years, The CALL has answered the hard questions for numerous families. Once those questions were answered, many families were ready to start the foster care/adoption process.
The Bible tells us the church is the answer, so that is where The CALL starts. We go into churches and host recruitments. We share our hearts and the need for foster families and challenge people to support foster families. Then, it is up to the churches. We host an informational meeting for interested couples to hear more about becoming a foster or adoption family.
Potential families have to complete a massive amount of paperwork, 30 hours of training, CPR, and more in order to open up as a foster or adoption home. Without The CALL, these families would be left to navigate the process by themselves. Many families who do this on their own quit or take longer to open because of the lack of support. The CALL guides families through this process, answering any questions and helping iron out wrinkles.
Once a foster family is open, The CALL becomes a part of their village. The CALL Mall helps families with clothes, baby furniture, diapers, and other necessities at no cost. The CALL stays in touch with these families to ensure they have what they need physically, emotionally, and spiritually to be great foster parents.
In the past 10 years, The CALL has helped open over 1,161 foster homes and 369 adoption homes. Over 501 children have been adopted by families supported by The CALL.
When you become a foster parent or volunteer with The CALL or donate to The CALL, you are making a difference locally. You can see the fruits of your labor because the foster children you pour your life into will grow up to be contributing members of your community.
There is a great need for foster families, but we understand that not every is called or able to foster. Even if you cannot foster, there's still something you can do. If it takes a village to raise a family, it takes an entire church to support a foster family. The CALL needs people willing to donate their time, talent, and resources to help us eliminate the crisis in Arkansas. Do you have an extra hour a week? Can you help out a few hours a month or maybe more? If so, check out the volunteer page to find out where you can get plugged in. The CALL has a place for you.

NEN organizes a discussion forum about "Doing business in India"
(NEN) Al-Waqyan Al-Awadhi, Al-Seif Law Firm, organized a discussion forum about doing business in India with the collaboration of DLA Piper Office in Kuwait and Sager Associates.
The forum took place on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 in JW Marriot Hotel in the presence of the Indian Ambassador, Ajai Malhotra, and a number of businessmen, legal experts and interested parties.
The first partner in NEN, Attn. Emad Al-Seif emphasized on the deep historical relations between Kuwait and India in the field of Commerce and stated that the link between Kuwait and India goes back in history and is witnessed by old ships that we preserve in our historical museumsfinancial risks. Al-Seif was surprised by the low levels of commercial trade between Kuwait and India whereas Kuwaiti imports reached 203 million Dinars and the Kuwaiti exports to India 57 million Dinars in 2006. He called upon reinforcing and consolidating the commercial relations.
and referred to by many trade offices owned by some Kuwaiti businessmen that are still operating until this day. Al-Seif revealed that the object of the forum is the increase of investment awareness and direct the attention of businessmen towards the unique and safe investment reality as well as provide a series of legal rules for the parties that are interested in investment issues in order to prevent legal financial risks. Al-Seif was surprised by the low levels of commercial trade between Kuwait and India whereas Kuwaiti imports reached 203 million Dinars and the Kuwaiti exports to India 57 million Dinars in 2006. He called upon reinforcing and consolidating the commercial relations. The Ambassador, Ajai Malhotra, praised the relations between the two countries and pointed out that India is seeking to prove its presence in Kuwait through its products and open new nvestment doors before the Kuwaiti private sector. Malhotra also discussed the constituents of the Indian economy and its development in the field of communications, technologies and services. He declared that the Indian economy is stable and sustainable. Malhotra talked about India food production capacity as it is the major producer of milk, sugar and tea in the world and pointed out that India is also one of the most important stock exchange markets and the merit goes to its 10 thousand registered companies, 23 markets and its strong banking system.
Malhotra invited Kuwaiti investors to become more acquainted with the investment laws inIndia and take advantage of the new relatio between the two countries to elevate the investment level.
The Managing Partner in Infinity ConsultantsCompany, Seif Ahmad, stated that many obstacles hindered the development of the commercial relation between India and Kuwait namely the abstention of Indian companies to meet small demands of the Kuwait market with regard to ready clothes and fabrics. \
He added that the absence of an efficient mechanism to settle commercial disputes amicably is one of the most important obstacles that prevented the development of trades between the countries. Ahmad focused on the necessity to attract gulf investments to India through legal investment offices to guarantee its safety and prevent risks.

Top Five Unusual Ski Destinations
It's one thing to experience one or more of the world's most exclusive and luxurious ski resorts, but quite another to be able to say that you have been skiing in one or more of the world's most unusual resorts. How many of your friends can say they've been skiing in South Africa, or Lebanon, for instance?
If you're interested in something different, here are my suggestions for destinations you might not normally consider, which are available as specialist luxury or all-inclusive ski holidays:
1. Oukaimeden Resort, Morocco
When you think of holidays in Morocco, you probably think of deserts and camels, maybe some mosques, beaches, spicy food, that kind of thing.
But just 80 km from Marrakesh is Oukaimeden Ski Resort, three thousand meters up in the Atlas Mountains.
The ski lift will take you up to experience trails suitable for all levels, with plenty of accommodation ranging from chalets to five-star hotels.

- Tying Shoelaces With The Holy Spirit
I want to begin with what may seem like a quixotic linking. First, a rabbinic parable:
Once there was a man who wished to sit in the presence of a gifted rabbi. When asked if he wished to hear what the rabbi had to say, the man said no. When asked if he wished to ask the rabbi a question, the man again replied, no. When asked what, then, did he want, the man said he just wanted to watch the rabbi tie his shoelaces.
And, second, a personal memory: some years back, I did a year-long version of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Before we began each session, my spiritual director made a little prayer of invocation, asking that the Holy Spirit be with us so that our own attempts at understanding might be augmented.
The man in the rabbinic story supposes that if the rabbi is truly a man of God, he will have learned to tie his shoes with God in mind; thus the man need only watch the mundane act of tying one's shoes to be in God's presence. He also seems to know that in all our routines—sweeping the floor, folding clothes, making tea, doing the dishes, folding sheets—we often find ourselves sensing the extraordinary mystery in the midst of which we live. I don't mean here that beyond the surface lie extraordinary depths. I don't think sweeping the floor reveals a hidden God. Sweeping the floor or doing the dishes is just that. And yet we experience at times that feeling of how, as we do the dishes, both unhurried and thinking about nothing, enjoying the warm water on our hands, we can look through the window at the late slant of light in the trees, and suddenly feel preternaturally receptive, feel we know what life is, though what it is, is always more than we can say.
We feel, that is, that being alive is multi-layered, dense; that the world we live in has an amplitude, which we can sense, but never fully know. It's a disquieting feeling mostly: that there is another dimension to life which we feel, and perhaps even see and live at moments, but which, for the most part, remains in the background, a "buzz of implication," as Lionel Trilling in his book, The Liberal Imagination, once called it. For me, the spiritual dimension of writing poetry has something to do with taking a practiced look at this [End Page 260] "buzz of implication." By "practiced" I mean to imply that attending to the world is no easy task. That attending takes practice, and that practice always involves detachment. In an entry entitled "Detachment," included in the volume Gravity and Grace, Simone Weil writes: "The reality of the world is the result of our attachment. It is the reality of the self, which we transfer onto things. It has nothing to do with independent reality. That is only perceptible through total detachment." Detachment is the opposite of attachment; attachment for Weil produces illusions. We see what we need to see. As Czeslaw Milosz recognized, "we are unable to live nakedly. We must constantly wrap ourselves in a cocoon of mental constructs, our changing styles of philosophy, poetry, art."
Thus, the reason for my little memory about the need for invocation: whether an invocation to the muses in poetry, or to the Holy Spirit in religion, an invocation implies a recognition of the limits of one's own understanding and faith in the possibility of being opened up, inspired, so that we might take in the largest possible, but necessarily incomplete, view of the world. Because we cannot "live nakedly," I believe invocations are necessary, particularly in our contemporary world, if only to remind myself that poetry is an act that continually tries to overcome fantasy, egotism and solipsism. Such an act requires love. Let me insert Iris Murduch here, who in her essay "The Sublime and the Good" defines love this way: "Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real." For Murdoch, love entails a tragic freedom...

Tennis: Purav Raja-Divij Sharan are champions in Colombia
Indian tennis pair of Purav Raja and Divij Sharan lifted their first ever ATP tour title at the Claro Open in Bogota, Colombia. The Indians defeated 2nd seeded pair of Edouard Roger Vasselin and Igor Sisling in a hard fought encounter 7-6(4) 7-6(3) in an hour and 30 minutes.
The match started with the 2nd seeds applying continuous pressure on the serve of the Indians, generating 4 break point opportunities and converting once to take the lead in the set. However, the Indian pair was up to the mark as they nullified the break of serve by converting their only break point opportunity and take the set to a tie break. The Indians went on to win the tie break 7-4 and take the opening set.
In the 2nd set, serving at 1-1, the pressure from the Franco-Dutch pair resulted in two break points against the Indians, but they somehow managed to scrape through and hold serve. However, leading at 3-2 on serve, Raja-Sharan secured that crucial break of serve and then consolidated it to take a huge 5-2 lead in the set.
It appeared as though the Indians would race away with the title but the 2nd seeds had other plans. Serving for the set at 5-3, a double fault by the Indians opened a 0-30 gap. This resulted in a break point opportunity which was gleefully accepted by the 2nd seeds as the match came back on serve.
The pressure of playing in a final got to the Indians as the Franco-Dutch combination roared their way back into the set, leveling it at 5-5. With momentum firmly in their favor, the 2nd seeds again created two break point chances and it appeared that the experienced 2nd seeds would snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Indians managed to hold serve in that game as the set moved to a tie break after a love game from Roger Vasselin-Sisling. In the tie break, the Indian pair secured that crucial mini break to lead 4-2 at the halfway stage. Raja-Sharan held their nerve to close out the match, when they converted their first match point opportunity to lift their first ever ATP tour title.
Raja and Sharan have had a terrific year so far, winning the Kyoto challenger followed by reaching their first ever Grand Slam main draw at Wimbledon where they lost out in a close 5 set encounter in the opening round. They also reached the finals of the challenger tournaments in Johannesburg, Nottingham and Leon.
Meanwhile, in other good news for Indian tennis fans, all the Indians progressed through to the next round of qualifying at the BB&T Atlanta Open. Somdev Devvarman defeated American Patrick Davidson in straight sets 6-0 6-2. Devvarman would now face compatriot Prakash Amritraj in the next round who overcame American Jason Jung 6-2 6-0. The other Indian in the fray Saketh Myneni also won his encounter in straight sets defeating Brazilian world number 361 Marcelo Demoliner 6-3 7-5.Published 21 Jul 2013, 05:47 IST

When you're planning to invest in a major home-improvement project, there's nothing much more important than clearly communicating your vision to your Portland remodeling company.
More than just detailing the what, where, when, and how, your communication with your remodeling professional needs to convey the sense of style that you want the finished product to embody. And how do you do that? With spoken words, written words, photographs, and even hand-drawn sketches.
The Phone Call
Starting from the top, your first contact with a prospective remodeler or design-build company should be by phone, not email. Some things can't be conveyed, or sensed, in writing. On the phone, you'll be able to pick up a lot of clues about the person you're going to be dealing with. Is he or she attentive to what you're expressing about your remodel? Does he or she seem willing to be available by phone throughout the project? During this phone call, you can ask some questions that will help you sort out prospects, such as does this company often work in the style you're aiming for, will it be available in the time frame you need, and can it handle the scope of project you have in mind?
Bring Your Vision
For your first face-to-face meeting with your potential designer or builder, bring along magazine clippings or images you have saved from your online research. During your envisioning stage, it can be helpful to keep a notebook with you in which to jot down ideas and inspirations that come to you throughout the day. Those notes will be helpful when you're trying to transmit your vision to your builder. A Houzz Ideabook, which you can create on the Houzz.com website, is an ideal way to save digital photographs and floor plans that will show what you have in mind. When the photos and diagrams you've saved don't quite match your situation, just pull out a pad and pencil and do a quick sketch. You don't have to be an artist or architect to get your idea across.
Learn the Lingo
It doesn't hurt to make yourself comfortable with the design vocabulary specific to your vision. Can you tell the difference between Craftsman, art deco, industrial, Victorian, Southwestern, and farmhouse style? Be sure to pay attention to whether your designer knows what you're getting at. If he or she starts talking about exposed beams and dark-wood paneling for your midcentury modern design, you'll know there's a problem. We wrote an entire blog dedicated to design-build remodeling, it's advantages, misconceptions, and more.
Practical Considerations
When you present your vision to the designer, it's critical that you tell him or her how the room will be used. You could even try to express the intangible by saying how you want to feel when you're in the room. Also during your introductory discussions, it's imperative that you be honest about your budget so that the designer/builder will know if your plan is even feasible. He or she will have the knowledge to tell you if it's not, and to suggest possible revisions to get your dreams to match up with the reality of your budget.
Don't Stop Communicating
Once you and the designer/builder have agreed to work together, you'll need to put everything in writing, including as much detail as possible about what you want your room or rooms to be like when the job is finished. And by all means, continue to communicate, daily, with your remodeling company as the work progresses, making sure that the dream that was in your head is taking shape in wood, tile, stone, and steel just the way you'd envisioned it.

Come Fly with New Horizons on its Approach to Pluto: Images from New Horizons show the view from aboard the spacecraft closes in on the Pluto system for a July 14 flyby. This time-lapse approach movie was made from images from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera aboard New Horizons spacecraft taken between May 28 and June 25, 2015. During that time the spacecraft distance to Pluto decreased almost threefold, from about 35 million miles to 14 million miles (56 million kilometers to 22 million kilometers). The images show Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, growing in apparent size as New Horizons closes in. As it rotates, Pluto displays a strongly contrasting surface dominated by a bright northern hemisphere, with a discontinuous band of darker material running along the equator. Charon has a dark polar region, and there are indications of brightness variations at lower latitudes.

After visiting Amnicon Falls State Park we drove through Duluth on our way up to Grand Marais on the Minnesota North Shore. Our first stop was Gooseberry Falls State Park. It is the most visited park in Minnesota. There had been a lot of rain during the previous week and the water was high in the Gooseberry River. I have been dealing with an Achilles problem so we limited our hiking.
Our first stop was upper falls.
This shot of middle falls shows the amount of water flowing in the river.
This is a classic show of the trees lining the river when the water levels are high.
A bench overlooking the beach area where the river flows into Lake Superior.
Normally not a shot I take at Gooseberry but I though it made a nice composition given the light and the colors on the trees.

The body of Lance Cpl. Skip Wells was laid to rest in Georgia just a week after he was fatally wounded in the Chattanooga shooting, but not before thousands gathered to pay their respect. As Wells's body passed along the interstate in metro Atlanta to his final resting place, the road was lined with friends and strangers alike, wanting to honor him.
The 21-year-old Marine was the youngest victim in the shooting rampage earlier this month in Chattanooga, Tennessee. His body was taken by motorcade from Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport to his hometown of Cobb County in an emotional procession.
Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5
The city of Marietta even closed off portions of some roads so that people could gather to honor the fallen soldier. About 500 Patriot Guard Riders also joined the procession, and about 2,500 people attended his funeral on Sunday afternoon.
More from The Stir: In Honor of 4 Marines Who Lost Their Lives in Chattanooga Shooting (PHOTOS)
His family and friends shared stories about how he loved to play soldier as a child and always idolized the military. In a life cut so tragically short, it's a small solace that he at least got to achieve that dream. It's obvious that he was an inspiration to many, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Mizzou Mail
Landmarks identified
Feedback from the Spring 2011 issue included orientation confusion about the aerial photo of Columbia by Robert Llewellyn on Page 35 ["There's no place like CoMo"]. Mervyn Heinz, BS Ag '55, of Cosby, Mo., wrote: "I'm at a loss when it comes to recognizing any of the buildings on Page 35. I assume this is a shot of downtown Columbia." A Columbia resident for more than 30 years, Ivan Nyberg, BS Ed '61, of Ozark, Mo., was similarly challenged. Sorry about that. We've identified some landmarks in the photograph at right.
— MIZZOU magazine staff
Taken from northwestern Columbia, this aerial photograph orients east to southeast. Here are some landmarks:
1 Water tower on Ash Street, just west of Providence Road.
2 Dotting Columbia's skyline since 1928, The Tiger Hotel, 23 S. Eighth St.
3 The north set of columns in front of the Boone County Courthouse. On the south end of Eighth Street are Francis Quadrangle's iconic Columns.
4 First Baptist Church, 1112 E. Broadway. Locals think the steeple resembles the face of Donald Duck.
5 Boone Hospital Center, 1600 E. Broadway.
6 Near the northeast corner of the MU campus, Paquin Tower, 1201 Paquin St.
Does bell still ring?
The photo of the gutted interior of Switzler Hall [Spring 2011, Page 5] immediately reminded me of speech class below the bell tower on a warm day in 1966. The building reverberated as the bell struck once a minute for each year in the life of Dr. Frederick Middlebush, former university president, at the time of his funeral — 80 times, I believe. Does that tradition continue for MU notables?
— Jim Swinford, BJ '68, Indianapolis
Editor's note: Yes, the tradition continues, but it is on hold now that Switzler Hall is being renovated.
Ice storm detail
In the Spring 2011 article on the "Snowpocalypse" storm of February 2011, I noticed you didn't have the dates for the 1949 storm. The MIZZOU magazine of Spring 2001 [Page 30] described that ice storm, which shut down much of Missouri for more than a week after it struck on Jan. 9, 1949. Titled "Ice, wind and fire," the article described the devastation of Francis Quadrangle's stand of elm trees. I had saved the article because I was born Jan. 10, 1949, in the Louisiana, Mo., hospital, with only a flashlight to illuminate the delivery. Our family talked of the storm for years.
I have been a librarian for many years after two degrees from the University of Missouri. I enjoy the magazine and am proud of the university and its achievements.
— Patrica Harness Farney, BA '71, MA '72, Rockford, Ill.
Greetings from Croatia
Thank you so much for sending me a great and pleasant surprise — MIZZOU magazine. I graduated from the MU animal science doctoral program in 1997, and I spent the best three years of my life at MU.
Now I am in Zagreb, Croatia, working at the local university. I have remained in touch with the animal science faculty at MU (we still work together occasionally), and I grabbed the opportunity on several occasions to come back to Columbia. The last time was during the 2007–08 school year, when I visited MU during my sabbatical. It was a good time to refresh my memories. There were so many changes — so many new buildings, and some old ones were torn down. I guess change should be that way.
Thanks again, and M-I-Z, Z-O-U.
— Miroslav Kaps, PhD '97, Zagreb, Croatia
Greetings from Greece
I want to thank you for sending my father, Stavros Threpsiadis, BS ME '62, MS '63, and me the quarterly edition of MIZZOU. Keep up the good work!
— Evangelos Threpsiadis, BS EE '95, Athens, Greece

When making pudding, children learn when more milk is added to the dry mix, the pudding becomes thin and runny. They also learn the length of time the pudding mixture is shaken affects the consistency of the pudding.
Now, time to experiment!

…is that rare city that neither disappointed me nor exceeded my expectations in any way. It was pretty much exactly what i expected: very cute and a little dull. it was good to see it, but I feel no compelling desire to return soon. Interestingly, the "what it might be like to live here" curiosity I get in so many cities never quite hit with Providence.
Random thoughts:
- I actually had trouble understanding a few people here, which is unusual for me.
- This hotel (which I did not book nor pay for myself) is a grand triumph of style over substance. It tries so hard to be all hipsteriffic and trendy that it ultimately just ends up being uncomfortable and dysfunctional (and overpriced). I'm sure some people would love it. I am not one of those people. And what the fuck is the appeal of rain shower heads? To their credit, though, the staff is great.
- I could have done without the extra, unplanned night, though American Airlines did foot the bill.
- Why would someone pay $35 for a cab from the airport to downtown when there's a $2 express city bus?
- Everything really is close to everything else in Rhode Island.

Working Paper
Date of this Version
Phenol production, expected to exceed 13MM metric tons in 2017, is a significant global industry with many flaws in its current manufacturing method. The Hock process essentially converts high value propylene to low value acetone. The proposed process design, detailed in this report, provides an alternative reaction pathway that utilizes a direct synthesis from benzene, as developed at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in New Delhi, India. The endorsed proposal is in accordance with US Patent 8,772,552 B2, that describes the production of phenol via vapor phase oxidation of benzene over a copper chromium oxide catalyst. Environmental protection and worker safety are paramount concerns due to the hazardous nature of phenol and benzene. The inclusion of a ventilation system with flare hoods keeps the concentration of hazardous materials within OSHA guidelines. The design uses air to oxidize benzene within four separate packed-bed reactors with inter-stage coolers. Downstream separation removes non-condensable species, recycles up to 98% of the unreacted benzene, and purifies phenol to design specifications. The plant's capacity is 500MM lb/operating-year of phenol and will be located on the U.S. Gulf Coast as part of an industrial complex. The final product is 99.83% phenol by mass, and contains an aldehyde byproduct as the principal impurity. The design requires an initial investment of $83.6MM, yields a fifteen-year net present value (NPV) of $90M, and has an estimated investor's rate of return (IRR) of 29.2%. The proposed project is forecasted to break-even in Q1 of 2025 immediately following the second year of maximum production capacity. The design is recommended based on project specifications and marketing team projections, though investors should exercise caution with regards to the effect of realistic market data on proposal sensitivities.

'The Lying Game' Producer on 'Ringer' Comparison: 'Our Show Is Very Different'
On paper, ABC Family's new summer drama The Lying Game sounds oddly similar to the CW's Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.
But executive producer and daytime veteran Charles Pratt, Jr. insists that the teen series, which premieres Monday, Aug. 15 at 9 p.m., is not.
"Our show is very different," Pratt told reporters on Sunday at the Television Critics Assoc. press tour. "We do appeal to the romantic side of things ... the concept of friends, the concept of the search for the biological parents."
VIDEO: Sneak Peek of 'The Lying Game' Premiere Episode
Pratt admitted that he had not seen Ringer, which sees Gellar pulling double duty, but he's leaving it up to the public to decide whether his series -- based on Sara Shepard novels -- will last. "Whether it helps us or hurts us, I don't know," he said. "I leave that up to the viewers."
Heroes vet Adrian Pasdar will play a key role beginning in the second episode, which The Hollywood Reporter has an exclusive photo from, as a Scottsdale-based district attorney and the father of two children (one in high school and the other in Los Angeles). He and the rest of the panelists were mum on details of the drama's plot, but did offer this. "The mistakes you make as a younger can bite you in the ass as an adult," Pasdar said.
Much like Pretty Little Liars, Pratt revealed that there will most likely be a cliffhanger in every episode. "We'll definitely be dealing with high school and a lot of those things like best frinds and dealing with your parents and boyfriends," he said. "There's only one requirement on the show: You have to be a part of the central mystery."

Star Alexandra Chando honed her skills on CBS' As the World Turns playing Maddie for several years. "Daytime certainly primed me for a role like this," she said, as she plays twins Emma and Sutton.
But will the series stay true to the books? "There are certain aspects of the book that would make it a very difficult TV series," Pratt said. "Murder and certain things happen."
Pratt said that readers of the Lying Game books will still be shocked and surprised by what will play out in the show. "If they read the book, they'll think this is a prequel," he explained. "We're not necessarily going to solve it the way the books are."
With the lead characters mainly in high school, Pratt addressed how long they would be staying there. "Say we had 20 episodes, that would be one school year," he said. "We've slowed it down just for the nature of the story. We've got at least two years in high school, which would turn into three seasons when we break it down."
Asked why soaps like this seem to be more successful in primetime than in the dayparts, Pratt -- who has worked on General Hospital, Melrose Place and Santa Barbara -- believed there was more longevity. "It's a kind of storytelling that if you contemporize it, you can take the stigma of soap opera off of it, which have basically had to cater to an older audience for lack of a better word," Pratt said. "Here we get a chance to get new viewers."

Kool & the Gang bring the funk to Stamford
In 2019, Kool & the Gang celebrated its 50th anniversary in the music biz. With 70 million records sold worldwide and a catalogue of hits that remain fixtures on radio stations today, the band has no plans to slow down.
The genesis of the group dates back to 1969 when brothers Ronald and Robert "Kool" Bell joined up with some neighborhood friends in New Jersey and created a unique musical blend of jazz, soul and funk.
The group's self-titled 1969 debut album introduced its signature instrumental sound and fierce horn arrangements, and spawned their first Billboard R&B charted single, Kool & the Gang. They would add vocalist James "J.T." Taylor to the mix for the follow-up and that's when the hit singles started to come one after another.
Between "Celebration," "Cherish" and Jungle Boogie," Kool & the Gang tunes have been part of the soundtrack of the lives of many of us for decades.
Today, the Bell brothers remain with the group and continue to tour with some of the best funk musicians (George Brown and Dennis Thomas) in the country. On Jan. 3, Kool & the Gang will perform at the Palace Theatre, starting 2020 off with a bang. Keith Loria spoke with Ronald Bell about the show.
Keith Loria: You marked 50 years in the business in 2019. How was it celebrating that milestone all year long?
Ronald Bell: It was great. We're so grateful and humble. I had no idea we'd still be doing this 50 years later and we're thankful with all the accolades that have been coming. We're waiting on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and whatever else the Lord has planned for us.
KL: You said you didn't think you would still be doing this. When you first started in 1969, what did you hope to accomplish with the group?
RB: I just wanted to play music. I wanted to be like the great jazz musicians, like John Coltrane or Miles Davis or Otis Redding. I had no idea we would be in the company of greats like that 50 years later.
KL: What do you have in store for the fans coming out to Stamford to see you at the Palace Theatre?
RB: No matter where we are, it's all about the consistency — a good time, some good music and good memories.
KL: You can't go to a wedding or party without hearing at least one of your songs. Why do you think people love them so much and what has helped them stand the test of time?
RB: You would have to ask the fans. What I think is we just gathered a lot of the traditions from the artists who inspired us and we just kept it going. It's all about inspiration.
KL: Your shows are always full of people from different generations. How does it make you feel to know that people continue to bring their kids and grandkids to these shows?
RB: I'm honored. It's flattering to all of us. We are just making music and it's gratifying to see that from 8 to 80 people are still listening to us and smiling and having a good time.
KL: I understand you have some new music in the works. Why is it still important for Kool & the Gang to put out new material?
RB: I make music so people can enjoy it. We're musicians and constantly writing and producing, and although people want you to stick with what you did, and radio stations only really want to play your old stuff, it's important to us to come out with new music. I've never stopped writing and have over 300 songs that people have never heard. It's about the joy.
KL: How has your joy on the stage evolved over the years? Do you still get the same feeling of satisfaction today than you did 10, 20, 30 years ago?
RB: The audiences are bigger now but for me, it's still the same. You still have to deliver. I'm thankful I can do what I love and people appreciate it and enjoy it, and there's a synergy of that going back and forth from the stage.
KL: You and your brother have performed together for a long time. What's the secret to your relationship?
RB: I attribute that to my mom. She raised us and never separated us and told us that brothers needed to stick together, whatever you do. We grew up together like Irish twins and have always been together and there's no need to separate now.
KL: What do you credit with 50 years in the business?
RB: Understanding the business side of it as well as the creative side. The business part was a learning process for us, and we had a master class. People love our music, whether we are in Japan or Russia or the U.S., music crosses all barriers and even if people don't know the language, they will know the lyrics to our songs and that's a wonderful feeling. We want to thank our fans for supporting us all these years and we'll be keeping the funk alive.
KL: With 50 years now behind you, what can we expect in 2020?
RB: We'll be embarking on this new album, "Perfect Vision," looking back and forward. We're also doing an animated series of the group's life and history, starting with when we were teenagers. It's telling our stories like a documentary, but animated. We're working on a deal now to get it out there.

In 2015 I came to Loughborough to do Sports Science with Management. Unsurprisingly I fell for Loughborough like a squirrel for nuts! My first adventure in sport was as a Hall Coordinator which lead me to the AU Exec team (a wonderful team). I couldn't get enough of this sporty business and became the AU intern leaving only one thing left... and here we are Sports EO.
What do I do?
I'm here to look out for all the sporting opportunities here at Loughborough. I represent members from both the University and College here at the union. Primarily my role is to run, promote and make sure you enjoy all our sporting activities across and off the campus. Finally, there are 59 AU clubs I offer support and guidance to with the help of the AU Exec team.
On the rare occasions when I'm not working on something sporty you'll find me watching it. I'm a massive Arsenal fan #COYG, so let's not talk about European football but if you want to chat about the invincibles I'm your gal!
Don't be put off by my smiley goofy face or do, that's your choice I guess. But if you do manage to get past it and you don't want to chat about the greatest football team on the planet, your next best bet is Adele, there's a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Been there done that advice:
There is masses to do at Loughborough and you can be busy 24/7 if you want. It can be easy to end up taking on too much and burning out. So just remember if get involved with what you love but make sure to look after yourself whilst doing so!
Get in Touch

Okay, this is probably not the place to put it as there doesn't seem to be one as this is not Sonic related per se. However, SatAM is one of the influences of this film, so here goes: Hi, I'm an animator who owns the studio Woodard Art & Animation. I don't have a website yet outside of my deviantart page (http://www.deviantart.com/smithygcn) and I am working on a traditionally animated film called "God Bless the 80s!". It's a film where humans and animals live together peacefully (usually) and the main characters are trying to solve a mystery where thousands of people are disappearing off the face of the earth. This is a faith based film and I know the stigma surrounding those kind of films. They are normally not animated/directed well and are not entertaining and are too ham-fisted with their message and I'd agree with you! I am working on making this film entertaining first and foremost and trying to make the animation look as good as I can. The message is also "anyone can be redeemed", but it isn't going to be hammer-over-the-head. I hope to make a film all people who love cartoons can enjoy!
I'll be posting concept art when I do them:
Jason Addams - An animator for a third rate animation studio and is tired of his job. He seeks to make his own feature films and push his abilities to the limit of what he can do. Short, ill-tempered, and a smoker; Jason has issues he needs to deal with to mature on his journey. Is a Messianic Jew and is at odds with his family. Is a bit of a perfectionist.
Gabrielle Welder - An artist who hails from Jamaica. She had a troubled history and was saved by her adoptive father Jonathon. Has only recently recovered from mental issues that were brought on by a tragic event in her life and, as a result, desires the same healing in everyone. Is looking after her ailing father.
Luna Paxton - A goth/punk fox who is trying to get all of the main characters of the story together. Despite being of goth culture, she is actually very religious - she just loves the look. Is working with Cain Martinez in trying to solve the mystery of why people are disappearing.
The Deidrich - A beatnik with bad poetry. Gets confused very easily.
Quint Quinson - Man with a VERY big ego and changes jobs often. Works currently as an animation model for Jason's studio. When he introduces himself, something explodes.
Rhodelia - A dragon lady who towers over most people. Has lightning powers she recharges by coming into contact with electricity. Eats everything that isn't tied down or on fire.
Yong Moon - A Korean American who runs the White Lilly Hotel. A very busy woman with no time for herself and has never taken a vacation. Hates her job.
Dean Deanerson - Very strange individual who can cause bizarre things to happen while he's around. Never seems to notice what goes on around him. Obsessed with potatoes.
Cain Martinez - Ex-leader of a gang of four back when he was young. An outlaw being framed for the disappearances of people throughout the city or at least part of an organization behind it. A sharpshooter.
AJ Richardson - Ex-martial artist turned businessman. Runs a ketchup factory in Oregon that is in serious financial trouble. Trying to invent the world's best ketchup to put on hot dogs.
These are not all the characters. I will be posting more as I go.
