|This page is one of 261 pages covering every community in Wiltshire, and is provided by Wiltshire Council Libraries and Heritage. A project to provide a fuller picture of each community is in progress, working on the larger communities first. When these 261, which are modern civil parishes, are completed we will begin work on a further 180 villages and hamlets to provide comprehensive coverage of Wiltshire communities large and small.

Thumbnail History:
The civil parish of Brinkworth is one of the largest in Wiltshire Within the parish lies the village of Brinkworth itself which runs some 4.2 miles along the B4042 main road between Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury and is reputed to be the longest village in the country. Also in the parish are the hamlet of Grittenham and other scattered settlements and farmsteads. The parish formed two tithings: Brinkworth to the north and Grittenham to the south. Brinkworth and Grittenham tithings lay within Startley Hundred until 1226 when Malmesbury Hundred was created. The name "Brinkworth" itself is believed to derive from the Old English "Brynca's farmstead"; the name "Grittenham" may mean "gravelly enclosure".
No Saxon remains have been discovered in the parish but two discoveries of earlier Roman artefacts have been located. In 1908 four coins of considerable rarity were found in a field near Longman's Street Farm and these are now held in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. In 1986 a quantity of ceramics was discovered in the same area and it is believed that a Roman kiln producing flagons and tiles from the local clay existed here from approximately AD 70 to AD 130
The boundaries of the parish - the shape of which has been noted as similar to that of the African continent - are marked largely by roads and watercourses. There are outcrops of Oxford clay over the whole of the parish except where a small area in the south-east features sand, silt and clay of the Lower Corallian outcrop. Elsewhere, Brinkworth, Woodbridge and Lilly brooks have all laid down alluvium deposits. The parish as a whole drains westwards to the Bristol Avon and is crossed by ridges and valleys running from east to west. Brinkworth brook flows across the centre of the parish but in the eastern section where it divides the former Brinkworth and Grittenham tithings, it becomes Grittenham brook. Further north, Woodbridge brook flows across the whole of the parish.
The land is highest, at 130 metres, in the south-east of the parish but this height is closely followed by land in the north-east and north-west where it is in excess of 120 metres. Sundays Hill, Ramps Hill and Callow Hill are all located in the north of the parish and are over 110 metres.
Between the years 1300 and 1630, parts of Braydon Forest totalling some 1250 acres were included within Brinkworth parish and in 1884 other parts of the forest, which had been allotted to Milbourne in Malmesbury and to Little Somerford, totalling some 309 acres, were also included within the parish. In the same year, 1884, a detached part of Dauntsey parish comprising 42 acres was transferred to Brinkworth and, between 1891 and 1901 a total of 16 acres were transferred from Dauntsey and Lyneham. From 1901 onwards, Brinkworth parish contained 6075 acres.
By 1135 Braydon Forest was a royal forest for hunting and covered an area of approximately 46 square miles. Between 1300 and 1630 the area of the forest was greatly reduced and in the latter year the Forest was enclosed and the Court of the Exchequer cancelled all common rights there. The purlieus of the forest were enclosed shortly afterwards. The north and western section of Brinkworth tithing's part of the purlieus, totalling some 1,000 acres, remained with the lord of the manor and these were subsequently converted into farmland. The smaller sections to the east and south-east, totalling some 250 acres, became common land for the tenants and copyholders of Brinkworth manor. Smaller common pastures remained at locations in the north of the parish including Barnes Green, Clitchbury Green, Giles Green, Dollakers Green, Hulberts Green and Sundays Hill. Brinkworth Common, formerly forest purlieus, was enclosed in 1808.
The Swindon to Malmesbury road crossing the parish from east to west on high ground was turnpiked in 1809 and disturnpiked in 1876. In the later 20th century a section of the M4 London to South Wales motorway was constructed to the south of the Swindon-Malmesbury road; this section of the motorway was opened in 1971 and resulted in some changes to the routes of pre-existing lanes.
Other, earlier, transport developments took place in Brinkworth parish when the Wilts. & Berks. Canal was constructed across the southern tip of the parish and opened c.1801. On the Brinkworth/Lyneham parish boundary Tockenham reservoir was created to feed the canal. The canal was closed in 1914 but in the late 20th and early 21st centuries volunteers with the Wilts. & Berks. Canal Partnership are carrying out its restoration.
In 1841 the GWR London to Bristol line was opened north of the canal, also in the southern tip of the parish. The London-Bristol line branched at Wootton Bassett from 1903 onwards to provide a more direct route to South Wales. The more northerly line crossed the parish to the south of Brinkworth village where a station, stationmaster's house and associated cottages were built; the station closed in 1961.
It has been suggested that Brinkworth village itself, sited on a ridge between Brinkworth Brook and Woodbridge Brook along the Swindon to Malmesbury road, is of Romano-British origin. In the Andrews and Dury map of 1773 the village is as yet quite compact but with a number of small outlying settlements, at Clitchbury Green, Giles Green, Causeway End, Dollakers Green, Woodbridge (later Hulberts) Green, Barnes Green and Box Bush. Since that date the village has spread westwards and eastwards along the road and a settlement has developed around Callow Hill on Brinkworth Common.
In 1086 the Domesday survey recorded that an estate of 5 hides (approximately 600 acres) at 'Brecheorde' was held in 1066 by Malmesbury Abbey which claimed that it had been the gift of a nobleman named Leofsige. At this stage one hide, with two plough-teams and eight people, was in demesne. There were 12 acres of meadow and woodland 2 furlongs long and 1 furlong wide. The land was worth £4. A knight held c.120 acres of this land and these were worth 15 shillings. The 5 hide estate subsequently became Brinkworth manor and continued to be held by Malmesbury Abbey until the Dissolution. In 1544 the manor was granted to William Stumpe; it descended to his son Sir James Stumpe and then to the latter's daughter Elizabeth whose own daughter Catherine married Thomas Howard, created first earl of Suffolk in 1603. The manor then passed to his son, Thomas Howard, earl of Berkshire who died in 1669. The manor subsequently descended with the earldom of Berkshire and, from 1745, with the earldom of Suffolk. In 1840 Thomas Howard, earl of Suffolk and of Berkshire, owned some 1793 acres in Brinkworth parish; Thomas's son Charles subsequently sold some 10 farms comprising 1,117 acres in 1858, leaving a remainder of holdings in the north west of the parish which passed to Michael Howard, earl of Suffolk and Berkshire. The family lived at Charlton Park House. In 1960 this land was sold to Southery Farms Ltd. and between 1963 and 1967 this company sold the land in the form of three farms.
The Domesday Book records another 5 hide estate at Brinkworth named 'Brenchewrde' which had land for three ploughs, 24 acres of meadow and 3 acres of pasture; woodland 4 furlongs long and 4 wide. This would also become part of Brinkworth manor. In 1066 it was held by an individual named Tochi and in 1086 by Miles Crispin whose tenant was Humfrey. Four hides and land for one plough were in demesne. This estate was located in the west of the parish and it is believed that by the later 13th century some five parts of it were held separately. Of these five parts it is presumed that one descended from Sir John Mauduit (d. 1302), whose son conveyed his estate to his son-in-law John Moleyns in 1340 and it then descended to Henry Hastings, earl of Huntingdon in the 17th century - he sold the estate off in portions. One portion included an estate at Clitchbury, later called Clitchbury Manor Farm, which descended by inheritance and sale to Henry Fox, Baron Holland, in 1763. Another portion of the Huntingdon land was held in 1575 by Thomas Walrond and his wife Eleanor and became Waldron's Farm. In 1989 the farm was owned by Mr. W. Scott.
Also owned by the Holland family from the mid-18th century was Grittenham manor, believed to represent one hide of the ten which had comprised the two five-hide estates in 1086 as detailed above. This manor left the Fox family in 1895 when it was sold to George Llewellen Palmer. The one hide of land may have been granted by the Abbey to one of its knights and was held in 1086 by an Englishwoman. Shortly after this date the Abbey recovered the estate and held it to the Dissolution, after which it was granted by the Crown to John Ayliffe and his wife Elizabeth. The manor, with its patronage of St. Michael's Church, remained in the Ayliffe family until 1737 when it passed to Susanna Horner and after her death in 1758 to Henry Fox.
In their book Brinkworth and Grittenham, Graham Greener and Joanna Clothier list numerous families with a long history within the parish.
In 1377 there were 123 poll-tax payers in the whole of the parish - 123 in Brinkworth and 69 at Grittenham. By 1811 the total figure for the parish had risen to 1042; in the 1841 census this had risen to 1694, but at this time the population was inflated by 235 labourers working on the construction of the Great Western Railway. The next twenty years saw a reduction in population but by 1871 it had grown again to 1436; the cause of this new increase has been attributed to the erection of cottages to house new arrivals in the parish attracted by possibilities of labour. From this date onwards, however, the population was in steady decline until it reached a figure of 850 in 1931. The construction of new homes, however, resulted in a steady regeneration of population in the second half of the twentieth century, with increased ease of transport and commuting possibilities no doubt a contributing factor. The 2001 census recorded a population in the parish of 1230.
Until the 16th century there were open arable fields at Brinkworth, presumed to be north and south of the Swindon-Malmesbury road in the Middle Ages. In the 16th century there were open fields named East, West Lye and Windmill Fields. Ridge and furrow can still be observed at locations including Clitchbury Green and Waldron's and Whitehouse Farms. The open fields were enclosed by 1587 but some meadow may have remained in common use. Some 200 acres of common pasture were in use for sheep at Brinkworth marsh. At this time cattle could also be grazed within Braydon Forest and its fringes lying within the parish. In 1587 the 330 acres comprising the demesne land were leased in 23 portions. On the numerous small pasture farms butter and cheese were produced and such produce found its way to Cirencester and Marlborough markets. In the earlier 17th century some 220 acres of Brinkworth Manor were divided into 24 leaseholds. The largest of the farms which represented some of the former demesne land comprised 55 acres and the smallest fewer than 20 acres. Farm sizes remained small until the 19th century; by c.1840 there were 18 farms in Brinkworth Manor and the average size was 100 acres.
The manor woods were subject to forest law as part of Braydon Forest. They were apparently disafforested in 1300 but remained part of the forest purlieus. After the Dissolution there was a dispute between the Crown and Sir James Stumpe who claimed the purlieus as part of Brinkworth manor. The dispute was resolved when the Crown conveyed them for an annual payment of £50 to Sir Henry Knyvett, husband of Sir James's daughter Elizabeth, both of whom held Brinkworth manor until 1584. At this date they comprised c.800 acres and were located in New Park, Ox Thick, Wickhurst, Woodhill and Blackmore. The purlieus were enclosed c.1631 and most of the woodland grubbed up.
New farms created from the former purlieus of the forest included Hundred Acres' (later Park) farm and Penn's Lodge farm. Dovey's Farm also included 14 acres of former purlieus. In 1704 there were 46 leaseholders and 43 copyholders of very small farms in Brinkworth manor but farm size had apparently increased by 1800 when 14 farms comprised 1,000 acres; nevertheless 11 of these were of less than 60 acres.
In 1808 Brinkworth's common pastures were divided and allotted and 18 farms of the manor were of an average size of 100 acres.
Elsewhere in the manor was Wood Hill Copse, planted before 1773 and measuring 44 acres c.1840. This woodland was short-lived; it was grubbed up c.1875 – it is presumed to form Woodhill farm.
The existence of a mill on the east of Ramps Hill may be denoted by the name of "Windmill House" there. A field was also known as Windmill Field in surveys of Brinkworth manor carried out from the late 16th century to the earlier 18th century. There was also a windmill for grinding corn on Brinkworth common – despite the fact that most of the surrounding land was in use as pasture land. The mill was built between 1808 and 1828 and was owned by Abraham Young in 1840. Its wind power was supplemented by steam c.1871 and around 1880 was operated entirely by a gas engine installed by Westport Ironworks, Malmesbury. The windmill continued in operation in c.1939.
In Grittenham Manor there was one open field which may have been enclosed in the later 16th century when the land was converted from arable to meadow and pasture. Grittenham inhabitants claimed the right to graze animals in Braydon Forest and its purlieus but this was the subject of dispute following the 1630 enclosure, following which c.100 acres of the purlieus were allotted to the lord of the manor. In approximately 1680 the demesne land of some 414 acres included 230 acres of meadow, 182 acres of pasture; this land supported 80 cattle and 200 ewes. There were 13 tenanted farms and the tenants also enjoyed a large common east of Great Wood. This common had been enclosed by c.1840; at this date there were 14 farms in the tithing. There were three farms on the former demesne land: Grittenham House Farm, of 174 acres, White's Farm, of 104 acres, and Snell's Farm, of 188 acres. Grove, or Common, Farm, comprising 90 acres, lay on the former common.
In 1541 Grittenham manor contained Great Wood (180 acres) some of which may have been open to tenants' animals. It remains in existence in the early 21st century.
A watermill, possibly on Brinkworth brook, existed in the 16th century.
There was little arable cultivation in the parish as a whole by the mid-19th century. In 1840 there were 14 farms and in 1867 some 530 acres were under arable cultivation; by 1936, only 3 acres were so employed. However, the Second World War brought a renewal of arable farming when c.650 acres were under the plough. By 1966 there had been a reduction again, with 222 acres of arable, but by 1986 this figure had increased to 402 acres. Between 1867 and 1985 approximately 1,000 cows were usually maintained in the parish, together with large herds of pigs. Substantial numbers of sheep were also kept and the numbers rose from an average of 465 in the sixty years between 1867 and 1926 to 1,171 in 1936.
By 1989 Clitchbury Manor Farm and West End Farm were worked together as one 312 acre farm. Manor Farm at Grittenham, engaged in both arable and dairy farming, comprised 298 acres. Fourteen other farms comprised some 100-250 acres; other smaller farms were still in existence but were not worked. Most of those in operation were dairy farms and a few raised beef cattle.
In addition to the primary occupation of agriculture and associated milling activities, the inhabitants of Brinkworth parish have also engaged in other trades:
There is a certain amount of indirect evidence of clothmaking in Brinkworth in the 16th to 18th centuries. The Victoria History of Wiltshire cites, for example, fine and coarse woollen cloth being obtained at Brinkworth in the earlier 16th century; William Trebett of Brinkworth being admitted a freeman of the Weavers' Company of London in 1653; George Matthews being a weaver in 1688 and Thomas Mapson a drugget maker and woolcomber in 1722-5. Furthermore, the stock of Joseph Stratton, a woolstapler, was destroyed by fire at his house in Brinkworth in 1757.
The 1831 census shows that most inhabitants of Brinkworth parish were employed in agriculture; however, 47 in Brinkworth and 3 in Grittenham were engaged in retail trades. There was a stonemason in the parish in c.1903 and a basket-maker in 1923-1939. The Brinkworth Brick Co. manufactured bricks from 1927-1931 and in 1957 an oil and petrol distribution depot was established at Causeway End and remains in operation in the early 21st century. Two road haulage contractors are also in operation in the early 21st century.
For the poor of the parish a house near Brinkworth church was given by Malmesbury Abbey in 1478 and was used as a workhouse after the Reformation. In 1802-3 nearly half of the inhabitants of the parish were paupers and the cost of relieving 194 adults and 216 children continuously and a further 20 people occasionally in both indoor and outdoor relief amounted to £1,222. In the years 1812-1815 about a quarter of the inhabitants were paupers. Spending on poor relief remained very high in the years 1816–34 and was frequently the highest of any parish in the hundred, including Malmesbury. The workhouse remained open until the parish joined Malmesbury Poor Law Union in 1835. The parish assisted a total of 110 people to emigrate to Quebec in 1842–3, 1847, and 1852.
As at July 1987 listed buildings in the parish – constructed of a variety of materials - were The Old Rectory, dating from the late 18th century with 19th century additions; for many years this was the home of the Bishop of Malmesbury. Thatched Greatwood Farmhouse: now a dwelling house – parts dating from the late 16th century with 19th century additions; Box Bush House, dating from the late 18th century with 19th century additions; Clitchbury Farmhouse, dating from the early 19th century; Waldron's Farmhouse, dating from the late 16th/early 17th centuries with later alterations; Giles's Green Farmhouse, now a detached dwelling, dating from the early 17th century with 19th century alterations, the building was restored in the late 20th century. Brinkworth House, not listed, was built between 1871 and 1881 and in the early 21st century is a business and events centre. In Grittenham, Vine House is listed: a former farmhouse; it is now a detached dwelling and parts date from the 17th century with 18th, 19th and 20th century additions and modifications. Also in Grittenham are Grove Farmhouse, built on the former common, dating from the late 17th century with 19th century alternations and additions; Goddard's Farmhouse dating from the early and mid 17th century with 19th century alterations and additions; and Old (or Strange's) Farmhouse, parts of which date from the 17th century with 19th century additions and restored in the 20th century.
Council houses were built north of Church Farm in Brinkworth village in 1934 and 1938. An estate of council houses known as Brooklands was built south of the railway line in c.1953. A cemetery was opened c.1886.
There was an inn in Brinkworth village in 1654 and the White Lion was open in 1719 and 1755. The Waggon and Horses was open by 1903 but closed between 1956 and 1966; this stood east of Church Farm. Between the Church and the Rectory The Three Crowns was open in 1801 and continues in operation in the early 21st century. The Suffolk Arms opened in the earlier 20th century and similarly remains in existence. The Royal George inn on the south side of the main road at Callow Hill, a settlement which grew up around the junction of the Swindon-Malmesbury road and a new lane created upon enclosure of Brinkworth common, was open from approximately 1884 to c.1970.
In the 21st century there are a number of small remaining parts of woodland in Brinkworth parish. In addition to Great Wood, Grittenham, noted above, Somerford Common on the north-eastern boundary of the parish, is an important butterfly habitat, managed by the Forestry Commission co-operating with the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust in the Braydon Forest Project, which is designed to promote mixed planting and forestry practices in order to regenerate diversity of species habitats.

My friend was recently talking about his experiences growing up in the church and later as a ministry leader. He described his 50s as "living in his own skin," compared to the angst of his 20s and 30s, which included much wrestling, struggling, and trying to make sense of the Western evangelical puzzle when its pieces didn't seem to fit together. His current trajectory toward peace sounds like a balm. There is something beautiful about getting older, settling in, becoming softer, less abrasive, less tortured.
But sometimes I reach cynical saturation—sometimes I just cannot handle another lengthy dissertation on our hurt feelings. Sometimes I worry that our journey toward the kingdom takes on a disproportionate level of narcissism. Jesus the One and Only can very much get lost in the story of our personal ordeal. But thankfully, while we may disagree on methods, we can surely agree that we serve an others-first, me-last Savior. That is not even a gray area.
Yesterday, another friend sent me a selfie collage posted by a grown man she knows. In every picture, he was looking stoically off in the distance while his less-tortured hand took a picture of his deepness. The photographer is in his 30s. This is not okay; such a display of self-importance wears a bit thin, and it goes to the concern I have about my generation's spiritual journeys. I think we could do with fewer spiritually tormented selfies in the world.
Don't imagine I'm pointing a finger—I am first in line here. As a person who constantly struggles to balance prophecy and humility, truth and grace, I'm also asking that question of myself. Do we need more public dissertations on our spiritual discontent? Has the scale tipped too far, from us fitting into God's story to Him fitting into ours? Often the core of the narrative is me while Jesus is relegated to an outer ring. Consequently, we turn a blind eye to brothers and sisters who, having been led to the best of their abilities, built those spiritual spaces. Rather than consider ourselves part of the greater body of Christ, we prioritize our stories to the dishonor of the other limbs. (See 1 Cor. 12:12-26.)
When Jesus said folks will know us by our love, He meant that. People were drawn to His grace long before they understood His divinity.
My husband Brandon, a pastor, recently preached on 1 Corinthians 10:23-33. In this passage, the apostle Paul writes, "All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor" (1 Cor. 10:23-24). This beautiful theology underscores God's bent toward freedom as well as our responsibility to steward our liberties carefully. The entire passage boils down to a simple habit: preferring others above ourselves. It's a habit that teaches us to think before we speak our grievances, asking questions like, How will this sound to someone else? How will this make him feel? How will this affect her? How can there be less of me and more of him in this interaction?
Preferring others is the height of Christian maturity. And it works in all circumstances.
Sometimes preferring others means considering a fellow believer's conscience, even if, for a thousand different reasons, he doesn't share our personal liberties, theological distinctions, or basic preferences. This means evaluating the weight of our words when we cast stones at Christians who've built before us or who build differently than us. We humbly admit we do not possess exclusive knowledge of God's will and ways. The fact is, He may be active in contexts we don't understand. We choose to honor rather than pick apart the spiritual labor of others. As the Bible tells us, "Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God" (1 Cor. 10:32, emphasis added).
Sometimes this also means preferring the conscience of an unbeliever, respecting her baggage or fears. It means not projecting our convictions or "weirding out" the conversation. It means making room in the relationship for different world-views, creating a safe space for people to belong rather than a space to be right. When Jesus said folks will know us by our love, He meant that. People were drawn to His grace long before they understood His divinity.
Preferring one another is truly the highest way to live, not just for the health of community but also for ourselves. Honestly, it is exhausting to maintain the dissenting view all the time. The anguish gets old. There is actually more pressing kingdom work than constantly kicking everyone else's tail. I say, Let the teenagers duke it out; they'll settle down in a few years. How about the grownups sit on the porch together and pour some sweet tea? We're old enough to know that no one actually wins those fights.
What would it look like to prefer your nemesis? Would it mean laying down a few barbs and finding a shred of common ground to capitalize on?
Obviously, preferring others doesn't apply to the context of abuse or terror, exploitation, or harm. Scripture isn't a template for victimization. That is a separate conversation entirely. But within ordinary relationships among Christians and atheists and agnostics and old schoolers and young bucks and different denominations and cultures, preferring one another in a Christlike manner could quite literally change the world.
What would it look like to prefer your nemesis? Would it mean laying down a few barbs and finding a shred of common ground to capitalize on? What about preferring someone who doesn't share your convictions? If being right took a back seat, would it change the way you communicated? Would churches regain their prophetic voice? If we preferred our spouses, would marriages leap back to life? Preferring one another is the first spiritual pavestone toward healing and mending, releasing and empowering, connecting and loving. It is the way of Jesus and the substance by which we are saved.
We can dismantle one another with precision, particularly behind the protective covering of the Internet. But when the dust settles, all we're left with is carnage, and that's not a legacy worthy of a Savior who washed the filthy feet of His betrayer. May we be creators, not just critics. May we prefer building over deconstructing—building up people, communities, the church of God.
How about this: I'll prefer you, and you prefer me, and everyone wins.

I hope you are all staying cool in these crazy temperatures! I can barely get ready without breaking a sweat stash (LOL). I mean come on lets be real; who can relate? It sure isn't getting cooler anytime soon, so for now continuous use of SPF daily; always.
Hubby and I took a stroll to West Hollywood (Melrose) to grab a bite at Taste and a pit stop at Alfred's Tea House. Which brings me to my choice of outfit. Yes, I wore black little dress in LA and it was about 100 degrees. What can I say; I Love Black. That city heat was a killer but a cute little black dress can never do anyone wrong. I hope you all have an amazing rest of your week and shop my similar look below.
Ciao For Now- LyfewithMadxoxo

Use Cases
Aurélien Georget
December 21, 2016
We hope you're doing well! This year was crazy for most of us. At this end of this year, we wanted to review what happened on Strapi and what comes next.
As you may know, we already announced that's a good news was coming. And this is it, we can officially communicate on them! Firstly, we want to make a resume of this year and what progress we made.
In January, just after the release of the v1, we didn't expect to receive such awesome feedback! Most of you appreciated the panel of features provided by Strapi, but two of them had particular interests: the dashboard and the API Builder. The first one allows to manage your app and the data, the second one allows to build your API on the fly without writing a single line of code.
All these features with the exception of the dashboard were only available through what we call the Studio (SaaS). We made this choice to the updates easier, and to give us opportunities to monetize in the future.
However, offer an open source Node.js framework closely linked to a SaaS software (Studio) was a mistake. This slowed down the development, complicated the workflow and was not appropriated for developers.
The community let us know that we were on the wrong path. That's why we decided to totally rethink and refocus our vision to find a new guideline. The main effect was that migrate the whole SaaS features to the current open source part.
Strapi will be fully open source, more flexible and more easy-to-use.
For more information, click here to read the dedicated article.
We also noticed that many of our users were wondering on the long-term future of the project. In order to reassure the community and to reach our ambitions, we created a French company called "Strapi Solutions" to support the development of Strapi.
This company allows us to ensure the proper development of Strapi, and all the differents legal aspects. We can also easily offer consulting or training services. Feel free to send us an email at email@example.com.
Strapi allows the user to build, deploy and manage its own API. We want to develop a flexible solution, tailored to projects needs, no more, no less.
For this vision, we focus on three main lines:
We aim to make Strapi an open source project based on a strong community, powered by a powerful plugins system and easy-to-use for being an entry point into the API's world.
For more details on the future of the product, you can read this post.
During the month of September, we decided to look for an incubator to help us to improve the project. One of our specificity is that Strapi is used all around the world (USA, Canada, Brazil, India, France, ...). We were very careful to find a long-term incubation oriented to the international because we know that we need time to build a product and our market is global.
After several months of preparation, we are really excited to announce that's we are joining Upper, an incubator based in Paris dedicated to international businesses! Moreover, we also got a financial support by the French Government and the city of Paris to accelerate the development of Strapi.
This is a big step for us. During an entire year, the whole team will be supported by professionals people which help us to improve Strapi. 2017 will be a key year as we will officially release the new version and our hosting solution.
Thanks for being part of this journey, we also wish you happy holidays! Be happy, have fun, take care of you and your family.
The Strapi team

How to Lower a Honda XR80by Tyson Simmons
Honda XR80 motorcycles are quite low to the ground with stock settings. However, for various reasons, you may wish to lower the suspension on one of these motorcycles even further. The process is quite simple, and requires only basic tools.
Step 1
Pull the motorcycle to an open, accessible area, and lift the bike onto a jack stand or a center stand. Be sure that the rear tire has all weight off it and can move freely.
Step 2
Locate the rear shock on the motorcycle. Then, use a large screwdriver or a crowbar and a hammer to loosen the tightening bolt on the top of the shock. This will be the lower of the two thin bolts on the top shock mount. Loosen the bolts by placing the crowbar or screwdriver on the squared edge of the bolt, and pounding the bolt loose.
Step 3
Turn the entire shock assembly counter-clockwise simply using your hand. This will create slack in the suspension and cause the seat of the motorcycle to lower.
Step 4
Keep twisting the shock assembly until the motorcycle is at the desired height.
Tighten the shock bolts the same way you loosened them. Pound them several times and get them as tight as possible. This will prevent them from coming loose and causing the suspension to sag even lower.
- If needed, remove one of the motorcycle's side panels for easier access to the rear shock.
- Stay aware of pinch points when working with movable motorcycle parts.
Items you will need
- Motorcycle jack stand or center stand Large screwdriver or crowbar Hammer

The high cost of circadian rhythm disruption and what you can do about it
By Dr Pushpa Chandra
Do you fall asleep during a night shift or when you are working late? Do you suffer from insomnia during the day? Staying awake at night and trying to sleep during the day goes against evolution, adversely affecting all biological functions as they continually try to adjust. We have naturally evolved to rest, heal and restore our bodies by sleeping at night and breaking that pattern comes with a cost. As a nurse who spent 27 years working shifts, I can attest to the fact that we never 'get used to' working at night and disrupting our natural circadian rhythm. Fatigue, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, digestive disorders, irritability, depression, anxiety, poor memory, reduced mental focus, and cognitive impairment are unavoidable.
Sleep disruption can have dire health consequences
Shift work has also been linked to many health problems, including breast, ovarian and prostate cancers, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma, heart disease and pregnancy problems. These health effects make women shift workers, in particular, far more likely to take early retirement due to ill health. It is also well known that workplace accidents that result in injuries, as well as mistakes, are much more likely to occur at night than in daytime hours.
This can explain, in part, the reason that in Canada alone, research estimates that approximately 70,000 patients a year experience serious injury as a result of treatments. It is estimated that preventable 'adverse events' account for as many as 23,000 deaths across Canada annually.
A conspiracy of silence, an untold cost
The numbers of accidents and deaths and the cost to industry and society in general are only estimated since not all mistakes are reported, usually because of fears of repercussions or job security. According to a report in the National Post, one nurse said of mistakes at work: "We do turn a blind eye and walk away. There is a lot of lying, there's a lot of cover-up."
The reasons shift work promotes these kinds of problems are essentially because humans are not designed to work at night. If we disrupt our natural cycles by working at night and sleeping in the day, the body simply cannot adjust and operate optimally.
Fatigue and 'brain fog' sets in at certain times of the night when shift workers are trying to stay alert but their body should be in a state of deep sleep. It's the same as jet lag. Typically, it is in the early hours that the most mistakes and injuries occur. Indeed, some of the world's best-known disasters happened because of night shift fatigue and lack of alertness and concentration. Mistakes made at 1.23am led to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the 1979 Three Mile Island partial nuclear meltdown happened shortly after 4am.
Not only can doctors and nurses make mistakes at these times, but they are also a danger to themselves. It is now known that night shift workers are more dangerous than drunk drivers when driving home from night shift. A recent survey in the UK discovered that 40% of doctors fell asleep at the wheel. Many were injured and some lost their lives.
Many shift workers feel unable to speak up about the problems they face, for fear that any sign of weakness may reflect on them. So, they soldier on and "suck it up" – until something happens.
Maintaining alertness, getting restorative sleep
I was a shift worker in ICU at a Children's Hospital for over 25 years and I experienced several co-workers who got breast cancer and died young, or who had to take long term sick leave. During my time as a nurse, I was able to overcome the effects of shift work and remain healthy using my knowledge of natural herbs and supplements, to the extent that I regularly participated in ultra-marathons and attended educational courses while shift working. That's why I have now dedicated my life to helping shift workers mitigate the affects of circadian rhythm disruption.
You cannot fight the circadian rhythm, but you can take steps with lifestyle, diet and natural products, to stay healthy and prolong your life. Here are my 9 top tips for keeping yourself healthy on night shift or if you regularly work late hours:
1) Let food be your medicine. Discipline yourself and remember that healthy, nutritious food is all the more essential when your body is under stress from working shifts. Don't get seduced by snacks in vending machines. Cook healthy food on your days off and take home-cooked meals to work. Make sure you include plenty of protein! It's an indispensible nutrient and a source of vital amino acids required for all biological processes.
2) Eat tyrosine-rich food. Jump-start the brain with seafood, soy, organic grass-fed meats, eggs and organic yoghurt. They are all rich in tyrosine, which helps to perk up your brain.
3) Go nuts! Raw Brazil nuts are high in selenium—a potent mineral that detoxifies your system and is key to cancer prevention. Pumpkin, chia and sunflower seeds, as well as pistachios, are also excellent nutrient-dense foods. Avoid peanuts—they are especially susceptible to a mold that produces a mycotoxin called aflatoxin (a carcinogen that has been shown to cause liver cancer in rats and, presumably, in humans).
4) Be berry smart. Blueberries increase concentration and memory by increasing blood flow to the brain. Eat a handful every day—in yogurt, with some nuts or in a protein smoothie.
5) Avoid eating too much, especially carb-rich food, and getting a 'food coma'. Less is more, when it comes to the size of your meal. Small, frequent meals sustain energy and reduce weight gain. Over-eating and consuming too many carbs make you susceptible to hyperglycemia and an insulin surge, which can lead to diabetes.
6) Avoid sugar. Sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine! It provides a short boost of energy, followed by a crash, causing excessive fatigue, irritability and a craving for another quick fix. Sugar also causes your insulin to spike, which causes your body to retain more adipose (fat) tissue. In other words, sugar makes you fat!
7) Glow with low-glycemic-index foods. Organic apples, grapefruit, humous, chickpeas, legumes, lentils, oranges, steel-cut oatmeal and seaweed are all low-glycemic foods, which raise your blood sugar much more slowly than those that are high on the index. (Note that carrots are a high-glycemic food, especially when cooked.)
8) Avoid caffeine. Everybody knows that caffeine makes you more alert and clearheaded, right? It may do so temporarily, but a cup of coffee only gives you a wake-up jolt because it triggers a stress response. Caffeine sends your adrenal glands into overdrive, pumping out a stress hormone that generates a temporary feeling of alertness, followed by exhaustion and decreased focus. The sleep-disrupting effects of caffeine may occur up to 8 hours after consumption.
9) Drink more water. Did you know that the human body (including the brain) is 70% water? Water is our most abundant and vital medicine, required in ample amounts by every cell of the body. Yet its importance is often overlooked, and most people are chronically dehydrated without realizing it. Not drinking enough water can create brain fog, lightheadedness, fatigue, irritability, digestive problems and many other issues. Staying properly hydrated is vital to good health and optimal functioning, and most adults require one or two liters of pure water a day.

A group of residents that fervently lobbied, and ultimately failed, to stop St. Paul leaders from approving a plan for the former Ford Plant site this fall recently took a new approach to prevent the city's vision from becoming a reality.
But Wednesday they once again hit a roadblock with the City Council.
The group, called Neighbors for a Livable St. Paul, wanted to put a referendum on the 2018 election ballot giving voters the chance to repeal the Ford site zoning plan, which provides a framework for development at the 122-acre property.
They said the plan would lead to traffic congestion, a lack of green space and development too dense to fit the character of the surrounding Highland Park neighborhood.
The City Council quashed that effort Wednesday.
The city attorney's office determined state law gives St. Paul municipal planning power that would pre-empt a referendum, and the council voted not to submit the question for the next ballot.
"It's our duty as the council to follow the law," and not put it on the ballot, said Council Member Chris Tolbert.
Council Member Jane Prince noted the zoning plan was the start of the redevelopment process and community members will be able to give more input later.
The group first ran into trouble when it took the referendum petition to Ramsey County Elections Manager Joe Mansky on Nov. 20.
To get a question on the ballot, the city's charter requires 8 percent of the total number of voters who turned out in the last election to sign the referendum petition.
The Ford site plan opponents were using 2013 voter turnout as their guideline. But by the time they handed the petitions to Mansky, this year's Nov. 7 election — where far more people turned out — had taken place. Mansky said they didn't meet the new threshold of 4,932 signatures.
"Clearly, we disagree with their interpretation of what the situation is," Neighbors for a Livable St. Paul member Charles Hathaway said Wednesday.
"From our perspective, this is just one more instance where the city, and the City Council, are dead set on their plan and are refusing to accept the community perspective on it."

Stoke City 2-0 Ipswich Town: A goal in either half costs Lambert's men as gap to safety grows further
PUBLISHED: 16:56 08 December 2018 | UPDATED: 18:44 08 December 2018
Pagepix Ltd 07976 935738
Ipswich Town were undone by a goal in either half at Stoke as the gap to safety grew following their fourth-straight defeat.
Tom Ince and Joe Allen scored the goals for the Potters, on an afternoon where the Blues gave as good as they got for long spells and tested a Stoke side made up of internationals and players with vast Premier League experience.
Jack Lankester was the pick of the Ipswich players, creating from open play and offering a real threat from set pieces, but the gap in class ultimately told despite the Blues having more shots and more efforts on goal than their expensively-assembled hosts.
The draw between Millwall and Hull means the gap to safety is now eight points, heading into next weekend's home clash with Wigan, but despite the loss, the 1,000-strong travelling continued to sing Lambert's name and backed their side as they left the pitch.
Lambert, who had kept the same starting XI for the first four games as Ipswich boss, made five changes to his side with the headline coming between the sticks where Dean Gerken replaced Bartosz Bialkowski.
In truth, the Ipswich goalkeeper saw little action during regulation time in the first half despite spells of home pressure which saw the Potters play neat balls around the edge of the Town area and work space for their array of attacking talent.
The hammer blow would come before the break, when Ince slid the ball past Gerken, but before then the Blues were able to grow into the game and made chances of their own as the Potters began to make mistakes.
The hosts could have been ahead early, had Benik Afobe kept playing after the ball broke to the striker in the area following a collision between Gerken and Matthew Pennington.
Saido Berahino was the next to take him but his effort flew wide, from which point the Blues began to find their feet.
Much of the threat came down the flanks, through Freddie Sears and Jack Lankester, and it was the latter who threatened first as he cut in from the right and let off a shot which flew wide off a combination of Jack Butland and the goalkeeper's left-hand post.
The teenager's delivery was causing problems from set-pieces, with Pennington's flick-on from a corner just evading a flying Luke Chambers as the captain hurled himself at the ball.
Sears and Jordan Roberts just missed the target with efforts from outside the box before Lankester did the same, with a gap in play following as referee Geoff Eltringham replaced by fourth official Anthony Backhouse due to injury.
Then, the low blow as a slick Stoke move saw Ryan Woods thread the ball through for Ince, who tucked the ball past Gerken.
Ipswich were on the front foot at the start of the second period, with Lankester again the creator in chief as the teenager threatened from open play and from set pieces, but for all their good work the Blues were soon undone by another slick home move.
It was Allen, once a £15million signing by Liverpool, who applied a beautiful finish to sweep home Erik Pieters' cross, as the Potters flexed their muscles.
Roberts fired wide as Ipswich looked to respond before being replaced by Ellis Harrison, but that was as good as it got as Gary Rowett's men saw the game out.
Stoke: Butland, Martina, Shawcross, Williams, Pieters; Woods, Allen, Clucas (Fletcher 88); Ince (McClean 70), Afobe (Crouch, 88), Berahino
Subs: Federici, Martins Indi, Diouf, Sorenson
Ipswich: Gerken; Spence, Chambers, Pennington, Knudsen; Chalobah, Downes, Nolan (Dozzell 72); Lankester (Edwards, 65), Sears; Roberts (Harrison, 80)
Subs: Bialkowski, Nsiala, Bishop, Rowe

Come October 13, 2008 and we will get to know who will get the Nobel Prize in Economics for 2008. One can see the process of nomination and the nominators here. The picking for a particular year begins as early as September i.e. for 2008 the process began in Sept 2007.
Usually by September of the award year economists and media start discussing the probable candidates. Thomson Scientific, quite successful in its predictions usually starts off the list of probables but so far it has not taken out its list (It has released its 2008 predictions; see below in Addendum) . My previous post tells me it took out its list around Sept 27, 2008. So, the list must be anytime soon. In 2007, the award was given on 15 Oct 2007.
However, some predictions have started. Rediff has a neat presentation saying this time an Indian-born is expected to win the Prize. (pity we can only expect an Indian born economist to win a Nobel Prize as we hardly do any quality research in India) .
The list of probable Indian born economists is well-known and has been there for a long time – Jagdish Bhagwati, Avinash Dixit and Partha Das Gupta (Joseph Stigilitz's favorite candidate).
It also points economists like Paul Romer, Robert Barro, Paul Krugman, Eugene Fama, Gene Grossman etc are also in the fray.
My pick: Jagdish Bhagwati as he has been on the waiting list for a long time and it might just get the Trade Agenda going.
Also Gene Fama/Kenneth French as most people who have contributed to development of financial economics have been awarded but their name is missing . Two kinds of people have contributed to finance. One who have worked majorly in the field like – Miller, Sharpe, Markowitz, Scholes, Merton and all have been awarded. And there is the second list who have contributed to finance either as a seperate work or indirectly- Samuelson, Tobin, Modgiliani, Akerlof, Stigilitz, Kahneman (his insihghts led to development of behavioral finance) etc. And again they all have been awarded.
However, Fama/French the persons who led to the development of Efficient MArkets Hypothesis, on which most of finance is based is still missing from the list. High time they are rewarded.
But again, I think Fama/French will be given a miss looking at the developments in fin markets. This way they might miss it every time as the financial markets keep collapsing now and then. Though I think it is the right time to award the duo and pass on the message that one can't make money from financial markets forever, which is what the financial firms keep trying to do.
Markets are efficient and soon find their correct levels. Most markets may not be in the strong EMH category but are surely somewhere in the semi-strong category. Fancy models etc may help you get some returns initially but not always. The problem is all the firms start doing the same thing after seeing returns made by someone and they all end up in a mess.
Most of the people get these basic lessons in their B-Schools but forget the fundamental lesson while in practice.
I will keep you posted on the other predictions.
1. I have a post analysing the Clark Medal and Nobel Prizes. Interested readers can take a look
2. Thomson Scientific has released is predictions for the year 2008. See the list here. This is a very different list from the rediff one. I only have read Martin Feldstein from the list. I have read a bit of Thomas Sargent and Chris Sims as well, but they are just too technical for me.
Martin Feldstein's nomination is for his contribution in variety of fields where as others are for specific contributions.
Paul Krugman has been given the prize for 2008. See my post here

A friend of the Rotary Club of Sale and race coordinator, Gerard Callinan was discussing fundraising ideas with the Club. The idea of a fun run and racing against a historic wooden-hulled boat was well received.
Held for the first time in 2018, the race had over 200 entries. The Start/Finish line was alongside the Sale Canal at the Port of Sale. The course followed the Sale Canal to the junction of the Thomson and Latrobe Rivers at the historic Swing Bridge. The course is on flat paved ground making it accessible for everyone including wheelchairs and pushers.
The 10 kilometre course for the serious runners comprised of a timed run to the Swing Bridge and back. Entrants in the shorter fun run or walk were transported to the Swing Bridge to race the Rubeena back to the finish line! Rotary Club of Sale member, Alan Lewis, from the Port of Sale Heritage Cruises captained the Rubeena.
187 entrants competed in the event. First in the 10 kilometre run was Ben Osmand, who also finished third in the 5 kilometre event. Meagan Brown came first in the women's 10 kilometre race. Most entrants beat the Rubeena in the 5 kilometre race. Michael Tripodi finished first and Kym Rennoy was the first woman home. Local Member of Parliament, Darren Chester, donated $2 for every entrant who beat him across the finish line. Darren presented a cheque for $250. A full report on people's finishing places can be found here.
Funds raised, along with a District Grant brought the total to $9000. This was put toward the restoration of the historical Sale Water Tower. Historian and Project Manager, Peter Synan, pointed out the Swing Bridge and the Sale Water Tower were both designed by John Grainger in the 19th century. The finished water tower will house a museum and an observation platform overlooking Sale.
The Rotary Club of Sale is delighted to team up with Gerald Callinan for next year's event. It's on Sunday 24th February. Further information may be obtained from Race the Rubeena.
The Rotary Club of Sale
The Rotary Club of Sale was Charted in 1928. It's a very active club with a wide variety of projects, including National Youth Science Forum, End Polio, Australian Rotary Health, and Gippsland Rotary Centenary House. Their major local project is Monday Night Tucker, along with a variety of Youth projects, such as Junior Community Awards, Go Youth, Bursaries for Nursing, building walking trails through the wetlands and the fun run.

The genderqueer and non-binary pride flag is a Marilyn Roxie design. The design is aesthetically similar to the gay and lesbian, bisexual, transgender, asexual, and pansexual flags; that is, horizontal bars of color with special meaning. The meaning of the colors in the genderqueer and non-binary flag design are as follows:
Lavender: The mixture of blue and pink (traditional colors associated with men and women, present on the transgender pride flag) as lavender is meant to represent androgynes and androgyny. Also represents the "queer" in genderqueer, as lavender is a color that has long been associated with "queerness" , including gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities.
White: Meant to represent agender identity, congruent with the gender neutral white on the transgender pride flag.
Dark chartreuse green: The inverse of lavender; meant to represent those whose identities which are defined outside of and without reference to the binary.
The three colors are not meant to indicate that any of these identities are entirely separate or opposites of one another conceptually; they are all interrelated as well as key concepts in their own right, and there are more concepts and variation of gender and sexuality present that tie into genderqueer identities than can be listed here. The purpose of the flag is to help create visibility for the genderqueer community and related identities.

I did a google search for Trend Micro because I purchased a new computer and since I already had purchased Trend Micro I needed to know how to install it on my new computer. The following website popped up second:
Support for Trend Micro - Call USA Toll Free 24/7 Helplinewww.install-antivirus.com/Trend-Micro 1 (877) 571 5077Support for Trend Micro by iYogi.
They were very pleasant but when they wanted me to go to ammy.com to give them control of my screen I refused. I said, "I don't know who you really are and why would you need to control my screen if you are from Trend Micro. Can't you just look up my information? He said no, that's the only way he could fix it. And he said, you called me, so you know who I am. Never once did he admit he was not employed by Trend Micro. He then gave me to his "second level tech support guy", Daniel. Both he and Daniel had Indian accents by the way.
Finally, against my better judgment, I gave Daniel control of my old laptop....thinking what the heck, I'm not keeping it anyway. He proceeded to tell me I could get another 8 years out of it and it was very sick, went into my system config and showed me everything that was "stopped" and said this needed to be fixed right away because it had already spread to my new laptop. He wanted me to work with a Microsoft licensed repair specialist and asked for my zip code to see where one was close to me...then said, no there isn't one close to you so I can transfer you to one and he can help you over the phone for a mere $299.
I told him I woul check with my IT department thank you very much. He started to argue with me and asked why I was confused, so I finally yelled at him to "Get off my computer!!!!" And immediately give control back to me!!! He did and I hung up. I'm very worried now about what he was able to get from my computer....or someone else in the background did while he was keeping me busy talking. Yikes!!! This is a scam!!! Do not call them!!! They lie and they are very convincing. I thought I was pretty savvy and would not be taken in!!! Beware!!!

#1 Consumer Comment
An obvious way to spot
AUTHOR: MochaG - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 18, 2014
I am glad you did not go all the way with them; however, I am not sure about your computer condition. This is a type of bait and switch scam. Often time, they would reconfigure your computer that causes it to be either unstable or will not boot up after you restart while they are taking control of your computer. Then they will say that your computer is broken and need a certain amount of money from you for the fix.
The obvious way to verify whether they are working for who you are looking for (the company company) is to look at the domain name! It is obvious that the URL you provided (install-antivirus dot com) is NOT Trend Macro but simply someone else with a path named as Trend Macro. You can look at their information from whois, and you will find that the owner (registrant) of the domain name is Vishal Dhar.
Also, another suspicious spot is that the "iYogi Inc." owns/associates with other 170 domain names! In other words, they have many other domain names to be used in their operation!
I hope you would not get scammed again in the future. Please keep your eye on the domain name, not the path of the URL. There are many otherslike this operating in the wild.

Discussion by: black-mazeHaving been born a Muslim, I was generally taught how to debunk Christianity in the light of Islam, which was equally ridiculous. After leaving Islam with a history of conversions and theology research, I started wondering why debating Islam is much more difficult than debating Christianity. Christianity was wrong as a given rule. It's so nonsensical that there's hardly a point to even begin a debate as it usually depends on god/demon/angel figures that you can easily figure out are nonsense, not even good enough to be enjoyable in the way mythology is. It depends on the supernatural almost entirely.
However, when it comes to Islam, you find that Muslims have already reached the level of mysticism in their approach. Allah is the absolute, the beginning and end, everywhere, all-knowing, etc. The incorporation of higher "beings" and Prophets is forbidden (in most cases). Imagining, visualizing, or even thinking that Prophets and Allah would lower themselves to the level of human life is highly discouraged. And so the idea of god in Islam mainly revolves around "The Absolute", which cannot be debunked because "The Absolute" could be anything, the ultimate reality, the universe, etc. This is why no matter how much philosophy or science advance, Islam will always find something to call "Allah". To some, it is whatever was before the Big Bang (a conscious being, however). To other Muslims, he is the balance in the universe, the "divine protection", the natural order. Of course, Muslims seldom ever express it in the way above. They express it in the typical religious way which is very similar to Christian doctrines: "God is all-loving, watching over us and wrathful nevertheless," and the supernatural things are minimized (not eliminated). This is why you would find that many educated Muslims refuse to practice certain rituals at graveyards or rituals of traditional witchcraft, dealing with "jinn", and the like. They realize that jinn, for instance, are untouchable and unreachable, but believe they exist nevertheless. They do so as they surrender to the social order that forces religion upon them.
Whenever I discuss Islam with Muslims, they will come up with all kinds of excuses. It's well-played media, a complete control over the masses, since any question anyone may ask about Islam has an "explanation", no matter how ridiculous. That is if you debate fiqh, and it could go as far with some Muslims as to think of Islam as a secular religion which is peaceful and respectful toward people of other faiths. The problem here is that no matter how protecting and harmless Islam may seem, it has definite negative effects on the long term, on masses on general, on individuals as well in some cases (such as myself).

Join Randall Library as we reveal the winners of both the UNCW Student Art Invitational and the 2016 Flash Fiction Contest during a special reception, 6-8 p.m., April 12 in the Sherman Hayes Gallery.
This spring we've turned our focus to the importance of Public Art.
Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization working to ensure that every American has the access to the transformative power of the arts, defines Public Art as this:
"... exactly that, art in public spaces. The term "public art" may conjure images of historic bronze statues of a soldier on horseback in a park. Today, public art can take a wide range of forms, sizes, and scales—and can be temporary or permanent. Public art can include murals, sculpture, memorials, integrated architectural or landscape architectural work, community art, digital new media, and even performances and festivals!"
At Randall Library we pride ourselves on our public art collection which features art and artists from southeastern North Carolina and strives to highlight artwork from UNCW faculty and staff, past and present. This year's Flash Fiction Contest and theme correspond with our spring exhibit, a UNCW Student Art Invitational in partnership with the UNCW Department of Art & Art History. Randall Library's Sherman Hayes Gallery features student artwork that is handpicked by the Department of Art & Art History's faculty and a few selections of book art from the Department of Creative Writing. The exhibit, on display through May 10th, has been juried by by Amy Kirschke , Chair of the Department of Art and Art History; Bob Unchester, Exhibitions Manager at the Cameron Art Museum, Wilmington, NC; and Sarah Barbara Watstein, University Librarian, Randall Library, UNCW, and the best in show will earn a place in Randall's permanent art collection.
Our special guest speaker Rhonda Bellamy, Chair of The Arts Council of Wilmington & NHC will be joined by student writers, designers, illustrators, and artists.
Great food! Great art! Please join us!
