Now considered a classic in the field, this remarkable book was the first to fully explore the mystery of life between lives. Journey of Souls presents the first-hand accounts of 29 people placed in a "superconscious" state of awareness using Dr. Michael Newton's groundbreaking techniques. This unique approach allows Dr. Newton to reach his subjects' hidden memories of life in the spirit world after physical death. While in deep hypnosis, the subjects movingly describe what happened to them between lives. They reveal graphic details about what the spirit world is really like, where we go and what we do as souls, and why we come back in certain bodies. Through the extraordinary stories in this book, you will learn the specifics about:

"eye opening and comforting"
after I got past my shock. it really grounded me and made me feel more alive
This book inspired me to look at all my relations and what lessons I may learn from them.
"Loved it!"
Very fascinating and interesting book. I was disappointed when I got to the end....only because it was the end of the book. I wanted to know more.
"Lots of information"
This book has Lots of information, the ideas definitely can make you think! Good read
"the point seems lost in the details"
I liked it as I was finishing it. very thought provoking. however, I wonder if giving 29 examples was too much. I would have liked more time in the analysis of how we use this information to help us understand our paths in life
"So interesting!"
If you are interested in what possibly lies beyond Earthly life, this is a great listen. I would have love to be a case study for this book!
I can't say I am fully convinced of this subject matter but I find it fascinating. it was well written, well read and left me curious enough to read the next one.
I am a Clinical Medical Hypnotherapist with specialities in Auto Immune, PTSD, ADHD, Cancer, and Autism. I focus on very difficult cases.
"Death is not an end, but just a beginning"
Souls Journey is an in depth look into a hypnotherapist case book. Presented in a clear cut, scientific researchers point of view. The author is really more like a journalist asking questions of the soul. The information contained in this book is presented neither as right or wrong, simply as something that just is. I really enjoyed this book, and found that the information it contains some very interesting concepts.
None that I can think of, I enjoyed this very very much
The future progression. While most of us think of this kind of work as past life regression, I found it much more interesting when the author progressed the soul into the future and described in great detail how, and why the soul selects a body.
I really did; however, it was too long for me to do this. I listed to it as I walked, drove in the car, and anywhere else I could.
If you have any interested in this subject, I highly recommend this book, you will be held spellbound and hanging onto each and every word.
"very insightful"
good job explaining past lives / soul travel. I found it very enlightening and was left wanting to know about my personal journey
"Great material, the way it is read is a little discomforting"
The content was amazing. The only draw back is that much of the book is about dialogue from Dr N to client. Would have been more enjoyable for 2 people to read the different parts rather than one person going back and forth between the 2.

Sen. Chris MurphyChris MurphySaudi skeptics gain strength in Congress Dems to McConnell: Bring up Trump tax bill Dems to GOP: Help us fix ObamaCare MORE (D-Conn.) said members of Congress were "accomplices" of the murder of children shot because of gun violence in schools.
"We are becoming accomplices of these murders of children," Murphy said on the Senate floor Tuesday. "When we do nothing, we send a message of acceptance.
Murphy's comments came the same day a shooting at a high school in Troutdale, Oregon left a student and the gunman dead.
Murphy said there have been 37 school shooting in 2014 alone — more than one a week — and 74 since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 first-graders dead.

Pacers, Heat start bracing to square off again
By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI — A year ago when Miami and Indiana faced off in the postseason, there were blood-drawing hits, flagrant fouls, technical fouls, choke signs being directed toward LeBron James and more than a few sharp-tongued comments.
Here they possibly go again, at least on the comment front.
The Eastern Conference finals between the Heat and Pacers won't begin until Wednesday night, but there's already signs that the animosity present throughout last season's Miami-Indiana second-round series will likely return this time around. The first flare-up appeared to arrive Saturday night, when Pacers coach Frank Vogel called the reigning champion Heat "just the next team that's in our way."
Predictably, the Heat didn't seem to take that as flattery.
"We're a great team," said James, the Heat forward who won the NBA's MVP award for the fourth time this season. "We're very confident. We'll be ready for them. If we're just another team, you don't prepare, you really don't prepare for just another team. We're not just another team. You have to prepare for us."
And away they go.
Pushing, shoving, a few extra words, that's all typical extra-curricular activity in playoff basketball. With Heat-Pacers last season, there seemed to be more. Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem were bloodied at times. Haslem targeted Indiana's Tyler Hansbrough in what was perceived as retaliation for a foul against Wade. And Lance Stephenson — who made the "choke" sign after James missed a free throw in a Game 3 loss — getting leveled by now-former Miami reserve Dexter Pittman in a particularly memorable end to a blowout Heat win in Game 5.
"We don't need bulletin-board material," James said.
The Heat took the rare step of practicing on their game court Sunday instead of inside their gym located upstairs, and coach Erik Spoelstra called it a "training-camp" workout. And this statistic — Pacers 2, Heat 1 — surely will keep Miami from believing a third straight finals trip is an inevitability, since not only was that the lead Indiana held in last season's playoff series, it also represents the win totals from this year's three matchups between the clubs.
"If we're the same team that we were last year, that won't be good enough," Spoelstra said. "Period. Fact. That's why we've spent so much time this year trying to develop habits to improve. We don't feel we're the same team that played the Indiana Pacers last year."
Of course, the Pacers feel the same way.
Indiana took Sunday off, after the grind of a six-game second-round series against the New York Knicks ended, and is expected to start its Heat-centric workouts on Monday in Indianapolis before flying to Miami on Tuesday.
"We were up 2-1 last year," Pacers forward David West said. "We dropped the ball."
When Indiana beat the Knicks and finished off that series on Saturday night, Vogel and his players were standing in the center of their locker room a few moments after the final buzzer, many of them cheering and applauding.
"I believe we're just getting warmed up," Vogel told them.
A few minutes later, flanked by his two daughters in a postgame interview, Vogel talked about the Pacers getting one step further — at least — in this year's playoffs than they did a year ago.
"Every team that's on a championship journey takes steps each year, take it a step further than they were the year before," Vogel said. "We were a first-round elimination team two years ago against the Bulls. Made it to the second round last year, got knocked out by Miami. Just proud of the yearlong effort to take that next step."
Not long afterward, he was asked about playing the Heat again.
"This is not about getting back at Miami," Vogel said. "If you're in the final four, you're competing for a championship. You're competing for a championship. And they're just the next team that's in our way."
His last line was duly noticed by the Heat, who bristled at his claim last season that Miami has the biggest collection of call-drawing floppers in the NBA, one that got Vogel fined by the league.
"It's always good to get some motivation from the other side," Heat forward Chris Bosh said.
Wade said he expected to see Indiana find its way to the East finals.
"We know this is a good team," Wade said. "This team right here, they're in the Eastern Conference finals for a reason. I expected to see them here. And I think it's only right that we see them in the Eastern Conference finals, after the series we had last year.

Platypus PlatyPreserve Wine Preserver
- Portable: Collapsible containers offer an easy, lightweight alternative to glass bottles for transporting and enjoying wine wherever you go.
- Maintain flavor: Food-grade lining is 100% taste-free, preserving the taste of your wine.
- Dependable: Durable materials ensure superior leak protection.
- Angled Spout: Provides an easy filling and pouring experience.
- Enjoy more wine longer: Transfer unfinished wine into the airtight reservoir to protect the wine's flavor, letting you continue to enjoy it days or even weeks later.
Made in U.S.A.
How It Works
- Pour wine into PlatyPreserve
- Place cap loosely on PlatyPreserve
- Remove all air by squeezing PlatyPreserve
- Tighten cap to seal out air in PlatyPrerserve
- Since PlatyPreserve is a flexible container, the air can be removed from the wine by simply squeezing the container to expel ALL of the air. This can not be done with a rigid glass container.
Wine Storage TipsThe three environmental factors that damage wine are: oxygen, temperature, and ultraviolet light. The PlatyPreserve solves the first factor by isolating your wine from oxygen. You can deal with the other two factors by storing the PlatyPreserve in a cool dark place. Ideally the storage temperature should be held constant at 50 to 52 degrees F. Higher temperatures and bright sun or fluorescent lights can damage wine no matter what the container.

FIDM Major: Beauty Industry Merchandising & Marketing
FIDM Campus and Start Date: OC Campus, Fall 2016
Admissions Advisors: Cathy Chambers and Margaret Berger
How did your advisors help with the process? I was fortunate enough to work with two advisors throughout my application process. Cathy and Margaret both were there to answer my every question or concern and helped me prepare for my interview.
Tell us a bit about yourself. Ever since I was young, traveling has been a passion of mine. From the airport security gate to checking into your hotel, I enjoy every minute of it. Even though I love the moment the airplane takes off into a new direction, my heart remains in Southern California. Being born and raised here, going to the beach with friends is a regular occurrence. The beach, museums, and going to Disneyland are just some of the perks of living where I do. My Mexican heritage is one of my biggest inspirations. The culture, art, the language, and the food are all things that I use to influence my daily life. Two worlds, dos mundos.
What are your proudest accomplishments so far? It took me some time to process what switching majors would mean for me and for my family. My family runs a successful business and I have always wanted to contribute, but I found that my career goals, at least for now, could not be met there. I made the decision to jump ship but tread lightly, taking classes I believed that were similar to what I wanted to do at FIDM. Even though I have the full support of my family, I felt guilty for choosing a different path. However, once I applied to FIDM I knew immediately that I had done what was best for me and I am proud that I allowed myself to want to achieve it.
What made FIDM right for you? FIDM wasn't always right for me. It was right for my sister, who is now a FIDM Alumna, but not for me. The school environment and culture felt right, but the career just wasn't there for me. Before I knew that the Beauty Industry major existed, I searched aimlessly for fulfillment in the previous career path I had chosen. On one sunny Los Angeles morning, I accompanied my sister and cousin to an Open House. While they filled out paperwork and spoke to advisors, I sat down and flipped through a catalog. I happened to find the major I'm currently in and instantly felt that this is what I wanted to do.
Describe your entrance project. For my entrance project, I decided to use an idea I had for a cosmetic company and describe the different kinds of products it would have. With each product, I included a fun name for lipsticks, a face palette, mascara, and eyeliner that drew inspiration from California. I decided to include a makeup tutorial that would explain how each of these products could be put to use. Finally, I went in-depth to the type of customer this company would attract and why they would purchase.
What are your career goals? Success is such a subjective term to describe a career goal, but what I hope to achieve is fulfillment. I want to be the business woman I know I can be but also to fulfill the need to be creative in my field of work. I want to be working with my family in some capacity and I want to help the beauty industry grow for men and women everywhere.
What do you expect to learn at FIDM? The beauty in learning isn't found in memorization of numbers but rather the friendships and connections you build with classmates and professors, seeing or hearing new material for the first time, and the set of skills that FIDM will teach me. I expect that the experience as a whole will expand my knowledge of the beauty industry and teach me to apply what I learn into real world experiences.

Recently some have observed that the US stock market and bond markets have rallied together - an unusual condition. The Economist/Buttonwood blog wrote:
This reminds me a bit of the late 1990s when, as a tech sceptic, I wondered why the stockmarket kept surging to stratospheric valuations. Whatever the headlines the market went up. Good news on the economy meant profits would be strong while bad news meant that central banks would cut rates, and thus profits would eventually be strong.
Fast forward to 2010:
{{T}}he bond market is surely betting that the Fed's actions won't work and that Japan is the template; the equity market is betting that the Fed will be successful and the Goldilocks economy will return.
Recall James Carville's famous comment that he wanted to be reincarnated as the bond market so that he could intimidate everybody - that's because the bond market is usually right. In light of last week's market action and the appearance of the Hindenberg Omen, the bond market seems to have scored. Incidentally, I see that Barry Ritholz at The Big Picture also commented on the stock vs. bond market tug of war by calling the bond market "adult supervision."

It's being widely reported in the media that Randy Edsall will be fired during the bye week after the Terps inevitably get stomped by #1 Ohio State in Columbus this Saturday. It's a predictable end to what has been a disastrous tenure for Edsall at Maryland.
Randy inherited a predictably successful program that levitated between 6-10 win seaso [...] Read More »
Today will go one of two ways:
1. Maryland will get blown out as everyone expects.
2. Maryland rallies around the "no one believes in us" mantra and somehow pulls off a win.
For number 2 to happen, the Terps will need to overcome a home stadium that is half- filled with Michigan fans.

This game always seems to the harbinger for the season. Unfortunately, this time it is not going to go well.
Maryland has a suspect defense and WVU should run all over us.
Rowe is better than Hills but I'm afraid he's not g [...] Read More »
I think most of us gave up on this team last Saturday with that putrid display against Bowling Green. The defense got completely rolled. Switching from Perry Hills to Caleb Rowe or even Daxx won't help things on that side of the ball.
This season is officially on life support and Edsall will likely continue his history of dismal to mediocre pla [...] Read More »
Before we get to football, the momentum with the basketball team continues to grow. Turgeon reeled in his latest prize, in the Top 50 talent of one, Kevin Huerter. Huerter is a 6'5" sharpshooting two guard with a what's described as a great basketball mind and terrific passing skills. He'll be paired with the other member of the 2016 class, poin [...] Read More »
Maryland kicks off the football season today against the Richmond Spiders. This game won't tell us if the Terps are good but if we lose, we'll know that the Terps stink.
Richmond has some skill players but if this is a contest in the 4th quarter no one will be happy.
I will be looking to see what kind of juice Perry Hills has.

It took all of August, but Perry (don't call me Hall) Hills won the job. It's a bit of surprise considering the fact that he sat behind Caleb Rowe all of last season AND the Terps brought Daxx Garman to campus and he started at Oklahoma State last season. Personally, I was hoping for a starter who was named after a minor Star Wars character but it [...] Read More »
This will no doubt be controversial, but the Terps have decided to extend Randy Edsall's contract. Here's part of the press release:
COLLEGE PARK, Md. –
The University of Maryland announced today that head football coach Randy Edsall has signed a three-year contract extension. Terms of the contract extension were not disclosed.

Securing the commitment of Haskins is crucial to Edsall's DMV strategy. He's a 4-star QB who is announcing his intentions at 3pm ET today. Rutgers and Penn State are in the mix as well.

By Sharon Silke Carty and James R. Healey, USA TODAY
DEARBORN, Mich. Ford Motor's decision Wednesday to stop making its Mercury brand by year's end closes 72 years of life for a brand that hasn't had much of one lately.
Ford made the announcement here Wednesday, after days of rumors and sourced reports.
PHOTO GALLERY: Reader Mercurys
PHOTO GALLERY: A look at Mercury
"It's time," Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, said at the press conference. "This allows us to take 100% of our resources to focus on continuing to grow the Ford brand" and to making Lincoln a better rival to Cadillac and Lexus. He said the plan for the luxury brand is seven new or significantly revised Lincolns in the next four years.
As for Mercury, it was clear to nearly everyone that it was dead but didn't know it. It has accounted for just 0.9% of U.S. new vehicle sales this year, according to Autodata. And most of those were to fleets, typically at steep discounts, or to employees and retirees who, with their families and friends, get deep "insider" discounts. It also competed heavily with other Fords: The automaker's "cross-shopping" data show 53% of Mercury buyers bought one in lieu of another Ford product.
Ford has no Mercury-only dealers and just 276 Lincoln-Mercury stores that don't also sell Fords. If they'd be likely to fail as Lincoln-only stores, Ford will help them pair with a Ford store or buy them.
Bob Tasca Jr., head of the Lincoln-Mercury dealer council, says he thinks Ford has been fair. Dealers were told at a meeting this spring they'd have an answer on Mercury's future within 60 days.
"It was the only decision Ford could make," said Tasca, who owns a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda dealership in Cranston, R.I.
Ford, like the other domestics, has often been criticized for watering down its more upscale brand with "badge engineering" — selling the same car under two or more brands, or badges, with relatively minor cosmetic changes.
Examples: Big Mercs of the 1960s were Ford Galaxies, Mercury's Bobcat in the 1970s was a Ford Pinto, Sable in the 1980s and 1990s was a Ford Taurus, today's Milan is a Ford Fusion.
Against that backdrop, it's probably hard for anyone whose Mercury awareness doesn't predate the hippie era to imagine the 1940s and 1950s Mercurys as passion machines. But that feeling is laid out in the 1949 song Mercury Blues by K.C. Douglas and Robert Geddins, and since recorded by many artists:
Well if I had money, I tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy me a Mercury or two
Crazy 'bout a Mercury.
Back then, Mercury had distinctive styling, more features and, especially, more-powerful engines, an advantage that made it beloved by hot-rodders, customizers and even Ford owners.
Dropping "a Mercury (engine) in your Ford was a big deal," recalls auto historian Ken Gross, a street-rod buff and auto writer. "Guys loved to say they had Mercurys in their '32 Fords."
In his view, what became deadly Ford-Mercury homogenization had roots in the mid-1950s as Ford tried to cut costs. Before that, Mercurys also were built on their own longer frames and, thus, had roomier interiors and bigger trunks.
A few modern Mercurys were unique. Its 1970s to 1990s Capris were German- or Australian-made Fords with no U.S. Ford equivalent.
Ford also tried to sell its German-made Merkur cars through Lincoln-Mercury dealers. Luxurious but expensive and quirky for the 1980s, it was "a horrible mistake," says Gross, ill-suited to what he calls the "full-Cleveland — white belt, white shoes — customer" typical then in Mercury showrooms.

Day 1 of Madness is in the books and it certainly did not disappoint in regards to jaw dropping, bracket busting pandemonium. Michigan's matchup with Socon champion Wofford fit the typical 2-15 seed mold, seeing the Wolverines effectively suppress the Terriers to move on to face Texas in (technically) the third round. The 7th seeded Longhorns come into Saturday's showdown with Michigan following a last second victory secured by a dramatic buzzer beating tip-in against 10th seeded Arizona State. Texas finished 4th in the Big 12 with a 24-10 record. Texas and Michigan are perhaps the two most polar opposite teams in the tournament, in terms of style of play. The Wolverines live and die by the 3-point basket, and rely heavily on quickness and sharpshooters, while they lack on the boards and essentially every frontcourt facet. Meanwhile Texas is composed of big bodies that depend on clogging the paint and dominating the glass on both ends of the court. Get To Know the Texas Longhorns Size and Strength Texas is one of the worst shooting teams in the nation, but they make up for it with physicality and strength chiefly on the backs of post powers Cameron Ridley and Jonathan Holmes, standing 6'9" and 6'8" respectively. Ridley's wide frame and strength in the paint puts him on the free throw line time and time again, although he only converts on 62% of attempts from the stripe. Holmes is more of a swingman, and his versatility offensively has him leading the Longhorns in scoring. Holmes is listed 6'8" (same as Jordan Morgan), and 240 lbs. (10 less than Morgan), meaning Texas' secondary frontcourt option is essentially the same size as Michigan's primary. Backseat Backcourt Holding down the backcourt for the Longhorns are speedy Isaiah Taylor and sharpshooter Javan Felix. Taylor predominantly works from inside, putting up 72% of his attempts from the field from the paint. Felix specializes in the corner three, but struggles from mid-range. Texas is about as frontcourt-reliant as a basketball team can be, echoed by their guards whose play emphasizes depending on big men. Keys to Victory Stay out of foul trouble A strong frontcourt presence usually spells foul trouble for Michigan's primary big men Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford. Both found themselves in early foul trouble in Sunday's Big Ten Championship against MSU, forcing Coach John Beilein to the sparingly used Max Bielfeldt (who also happens to be the two-time reigning Big Ten calves of the year award winner). Michigan is going to need Morgan and Horford on the floor as much as possible in order to neutralize the Longhorns' paint presence, but early foul trouble could mean problems for Michigan. Crash The Glass It's no secret, the Wolverines struggle on the boards. Even more they've really struggled against big name post players, such as Aaron Gordon, Adreian Payne and Frank Kaminsky. Texas' big men might not have the national name recognition, but they've sure got the size. Michigan will have to rely on their non-frontcourt players to cheat in on shot attempts to bolster their rebounding capability. Guys like GR3, Irvin and LeVert will have to use their length to counterbalance the Longhorns' advantage on the glass. Seize the Momentum It's March, anything can happen. Ask Ohio State. 7-seed aside, Texas is certainly no picnic and should not be treated as such. However, the Longhorns, whose ranking peaked at 15, have struggled to remain consistent throughout the year, specifically nearing the season's end, as they dropped six of their final eleven going into the Tournament. If the Wolverines can get out to a hot shooting start, and manage to keep out of foul trouble early on, then they should coast to a decisive victory. Michigan and Texas tip off Saturday on CBS at 5:15 PM from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The post Michigan Basketball eyes Texas in Round of 32 appeared first on isportsweb.

Invisible People (past and present)
[Jul. 23rd, 2016|
07:28 pm
Over on FB, my friend
shared this:
- for which many thanks (please do head over there and have a look).
As I noted on FB, I wasn't happy with the title "These Gorgeous Photos of Victorian Women of Color Will Change Your View of History". And the premis that some people don't know that there were Black people in 19th century North America. Sure, there are people who don't know that. But are they likely to click?
More likely are people who knew about slavery, but who have not seen (many) images of Black women of this period and/or only images of enslaved women, or women in dire poverty.
Looking at these pictures, I realised how little I know about the history of women's fashion in the 19th century - and particularly, in California. I'd have liked to read more about the hair styles and clothes these women were wearing. About the hair-dressers and dress-makers. About women like the sitters, in terms of age/date of photo, class, etc. (sadly the images are mostly divorced from such infomation - while preserving the images is laudable, criticism for institutional loss of the metadata is called for).
But returing to the them of 'people who don't know': I've thought about this some more. One of the most profound conferences I have been to in "ahem" years of being a heritage professional was a conference of people with learning disabilities. I think I'd been encouraged to go because I was at the time very interested in the use of Makaton in museum interpretation (
, if you are interested - and yes, we did use it in an easy-read guide to Buckinghamshire County Museum). The people with learning disabilities presented as part of the conference the results of some research into their top ten information needs. They included 'access to information about my health', 'access to information about housing', 'access to information about my rights' and things which you'ld expect in the top 10 of anyone's information needs. But I was awed that among these was 'Access to Black history'. The man who presented this said something like "I want to find out why people like me are here".
As heritage professionals, we let people down if we don't think enough about those who don't know. If we assume that ignorance comes from wilful neglect. Particularly we should think of those who are struggling to access crucial information about health, training opportunities, benefits and so on, but give a high priority to Black history. So much as I'd like to know about the hairstyles in these photos, I'll take a step back - first, those who prioritise "I want to find out why people like me are here" over information I take for granted is a click away.

Infertility in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
[Jul. 23rd, 2016|
03:00 pm
For all my friends who are writing with settings in Medieval Europe or Early Modern England and are interested in gender or reproduction: new volume of the Social History of Medicine is focussing on fertility -
As well as these, are there are two on colonial medicine (malaria in Korea, chronic disease management in British colonies), and the review section is focussed on managing mental health.
It's rather annoying, usually there are only a couple of must-read articles, this time, all of them are!

The value of innovation
[Jul. 21st, 2016|
07:46 pm
This is a recursive post, in that in part it is about innovation, but it is also in itself an innovation - I'm trying to see how to link up with GoodReads (akicolj - advice, please!). Reflecting on what I'm reading seems more a Lj kind of think than Fb.
So here's the quote on goodreads:
I'm hoping that comes through accessibly, at least.
It's from an interview with Gabriela Santiago in
Lightspeed Magazine, June 2016: People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction! Special Issue
it says the interview is with Nalo Hopkinson, but she's 'just' the editor. Gabriela's story, ("As Long As It Takes to Make the World") is well worth a read, too (lots of other good ones).
So, what Gabriela says is ""So I don't see the theme of the story as nature versus science. I see it as a conflict between demanding and understanding, between the kinds of labor that our society values or doesn't value, "innovators" versus "maintainers."'
I was surprised to read this, as it's a viewpoint I've only come across in the (traditional/heritage) crafts community. Crafts are an area where (in the UK) a vase that you can't put a cut flower in is valued above a mug you can drink tea out of. Even though the mug is made with more skill. Because the former is 'innovative', but the latter is not. And the amount of creativity is the same. So the former is gets lots (well, a barely adequate amount) of goverment support, but the latter gets none.
It struck me that there are, on the other hand, parts of our lives where innovation is not valued. If you see 'difference' as innovation. If you have a daughter, for example, or two, and then avoid further pregnancies, in a culture where the norm is to have daughters until you have sons, women without brothers are an innovation. That's the only example I could come up with that actually involved parental choice - there are many where people become innovators or maintainers without intervention.
The other thing that struck me from Gabriela's interview is that her family are living examples that the individual is not 'an innovator' or 'a maintainer' - the two peoples of the world-becoming that she presents in the story. Which is part of the point of the story. It's a brilliant story!

Up the Craftworkers! Promoting the voice and products of artisans: WCMT sixth blog
[Feb. 20th, 2016|
08:17 am
My Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travel fellowship to India concluded four days of (mainly) meetings in Delhi.
Alongside the meetings, I also visited Dilli Haat (a village-market-in-a-metropalis) and the Crafts Museum, and also visited a couple of mass-market craft brands' shops.
The two main focii of my interest can be summarised as finding out more about what is being done to document crafts, and what is being done to ensure they survive for at least one more generation. Most of the NGOs I met this week do at least a little of both, some more of one, some more of the other. In all our conversations, the voice of the craftsperson was a recurring theme: whether it was as a creator of the documentation of a craft or as a promoter of their products.
Our discussions explored the potential of collectivisation - a word I don't think I've ever heard in connection with craft in the UK) - and the spiritual source of craft, which again I had not heard about in the UK, but expands our understanding of the value of crafts for identity and well-being. More familiar were areas including cooperatives, fair-trade, literacies, supply chains, accreditation of prior knowledge and much more. I am travelling home tomorrow with a full notebook. My self-declared interest in the preservation of craft _skills_ seemed a little step away from the viewpoint of those who I talked with, all of whom focused on the craftsperson and their communities - a term which stretches from the family who assist in production to the international consumers.
Crafts museum:the external walls of the shop/restaurant building are painted in different regional styles, some with illustration of craftspeople:
In one part of the museum, craftspeople are selling their work.Sadly, only a few (a miniatures painter and two men making pottery animals) were demonstrating. There is a whole village of houses/courtyards typical of many regions, and obviously set up for demonstrations, but with the exception of a pair of dogs, these were deserted.

A place for craft - fifth WCMT post
[Feb. 18th, 2016|
04:59 pm
I had only a short time in Lucknow, flying in on Saturday afternoon, having Sunday as a tourist, and visiting another part of SEWA on Monday before flying in the evening to Delhi.
SEWA Lucknow is like other SEWA organisations, lead by social mission. It concentrates on a single craft chikan embroidery. The act of embroidering is chikankari (which sounds to my ear exactly like "chicken curry" - something I haven't eaten here as I am following my Diabetes Specialist Nurse's advice and eating only vegetarian food).
During my day off, I noticed many SEWA shops through the town, and our rickshaw drivers were all taking to us about SEWA chikankari as something we should divert to see. Sadly, I learned that SEWA has lost control of its brand, and virtually every shop and workshop in Lucknow claims to be SEWA. Bindiya asked many interesting questions about the architecture and use of space in the British Residency (destroyed in the Indian Rebellion of 1857). I felt that a small investent in interpretation would enhance the place a great deal. We later visited the Bara Imambara (an Imambara is - according to Wikipedia -
congregation hall for
commemoration ceremonies), so another place of rememberance. It was built as make-work, during a famine.
At SEWA Lucknow, we talked about craft and tourism, and identity-creation and sense of place as two of the values which a craft may posess. They have some exiting plans and new developments in this area, which could grow to include the monuments, bringing creativity into the tourist experience.

Conversations on Design - fourth WCMT blog
[Feb. 18th, 2016|
03:19 am
Also while I was in Ahmedabad I had meetings with present and past staff and students of the National Institute of Design, and with Adhaar, an NGO which supports craftspeople in various ways, including a fiilm festival and access to low cost, high quality graphic design.
'Innovative' craft here doesn't mean what it does in the UK. Here, using an embroidery technique historically used for saris, on new products such as table-runners is innovation. In the UK, innovation is synonymous with "cutting edge" ; a paradigm shift is 'innovation', a shift in response to market demand, supply of raw materials or similaris not enough of a paradigm shift.
I learned a lot about the history of intervention in craft in this part of my visit. At one point, I decided that I should have asked the WCMT if they could provide me with a time-travel component, as the India I reall should be visiting was the India of fifty or so years ago, when craft was seen as a major component of the new state, and treated accordingly. But soon I realised that today's India is the one which I can learn from, although the passion of a state for its own living heritage is something which could hope to have.
I have been imagining that - away from the politics of India's future - Gandhi and Churchill chatted about their shared love of crafts: Gandhi congratulating Churchill on mastering flemish bond, Churchill asking Gandhi about regional variation in hand looms. In my creation, the differences in approaches to craft of these two men lie under a friendly conversation.
No images from these meetigs, but here is a foretaste of my next stop, Lucknow. This is part of the British Residency, showing damage from the first Indian Mutiny.

Women's Work - third WCMT blog post
[Feb. 14th, 2016|
06:47 am
One thing several people told me in Shillong: looking after (intangible) culture is women's work. The intersections of crafts (and other heritage) with gender, class/caste, ethnicity, and other aspects of diversity are very strong, and providing much food for thought.
In Ahmedabad I visited several parts of the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA). This originated as a Trade Union then created a co-operative bank, and other co-operatives followed. In addition to visiting offices, I went for a day to the semi-desert Patan region of Gujerat to see the Hansiba museum established by embroiderers / embroidery training centre, and to the SEWA Design centre in Ahmedabad, which has training facilities and plans to establish a library/archive for use by craftspeople "becoming their own designers". The Design Centre is in a newly restored and protected building, and sees SEWA moving into closer alliance with the mainstream heritage sector. Historically, the focus has been on women's rights rather than heritage protection.

What is lost if a craft is lost? - second WCMT blog post
[Feb. 13th, 2016|
04:21 pm
Dr Erik de Maaker asked at the INTACH conference I attended in Shillong "What is lost if a cosmology is lost". It is a key question which gets to the heart of many of the debates we are having about craft in the UK, and more generally Intangible Heritage / Living Heritage in the UK. Asking this question in the setting of North East India places it in a very different context: one in which craft, cosmology and other cultural practices are seen as inherently belonging to the indigenous tribes(1). A possible answer to the question came from the suggestion by Prof Galla later in the week that we should explore the use of indices of wellbeing in evaluating museum practice – perhaps we should be looking at the survival of craft skills, among other aspects of living heritage, in this way.
One speaker talked of designers 'adding value' – something which is commonly said in the UK, and underpins the funding which goes to support design and innovation. In this context, however, perhaps we should instead talk about design as 'replacing value' or 'refreshing value' – either value which has previously been lost, or value which is actually there already, but not in a form which is wanted by the end user (or, to put it another way, the value inherent in living heritage is one which is often not the value of the dominant culture and a designer from the dominant culture is needed to mediate). In this way, the insistence on the 'bottom up' approach – that culture should be defined by communities(2) and protected by them – means that the dominant discourse of the people of the plains / globalisation / authorised education is allowed to both wash its hands of its own domination and place the responsibility for dealing with the effects on the survival of culture with those who have least access to resources.
Dr Oinam Hemlata Devi presented a very interesting paper on the use of insects as medicine. She noted 5 ways that foods are classified, including a food/not food division which in India is profane/sacred (as for example Brahmins classification of food into vegetarian / meats) but in the West as natural/synthetic foods). Reflecting on this, I wondered if Intangible cultural heritage was similarly divided: many speakers assumed a profane/sacred division in other areas of living heritage (e.g. 'this is a sacred dance' 'this is not a sacred dance, but a dance for guests'). In the West, for crafts, there is a chimera of 'real crafts' which are (a) handmade, (b) rural, (c) timeless/old-fashioned/rooted in history/unchanging (d) made of natural materials which are profane (suitable for everyday use) but objects which are factory made from synthetic or exotic materials and have new-to-us designs are not 'suitable' and should be eschewed as bad-to-use every day - in the eyes of some people. Others have it the other way round.
Just some first thoughts ....
(1) Erik de Maakar noted that 'indigenous' and 'tribes' are "death trap" terms.
(2) Another "death trap" term.

An Unexpected Encouter with Dung (Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship to India, part one)
[Feb. 5th, 2016|
04:28 pm
Current Location
Shillong, Meghalaya, India
My trip started with the East Coast Mainline suffering from storms on 29th January. Fortunately, all I had to do to do that day was reach King's Cross.
Following an event for Free UK Genealogy on the Saturday, I headed off to Heathrow at 5pm, arriving in Delhi the following day. I will largely be concentrating here on the topic of my fellowship - ways of making heritage crafts sustainable - but I will just note here that my experience of my first week in India is that it is very difficult to see. Delhi Airport was so foggy/smoggy that I could not see the runways from the terminal building.
At the airport, I met up with Bindiya my companion for the next three weeks, and we flew to Guwahati in Assam. Which was dark by the time we arrived. We stayed for one night in a bed-and-breakfast, where the owners were interested in my purpose in visiting India, partly because one of them is the creator/founder of Elrhino paper (
). So my first interview with a craft entrepreneur was totally unplanned.
Elrhino Paper is an excellent example of how a craft's value can derive from its position in a supply chain. In this case, because the products are made from materials which would otherwise be waste: elephant and rhino poo, cotton waste from a local underwear factory, and otherwise inedible / unusable plant materials. The economic value derives from providing employment, and from the profits which are used to conserve the elephants and rhinos.
I will be gathering together full reports on each meeting, and will put a link to them when they are up.
The following day we left for Shillong in Meghalaya (for those struggling with geography: Guwahati and Shillong are in North East India: the bit that is above/to the right of Bangladesh. Guwahati is on the Bramaputra River which flows East-West along the bottom of the Himalayas). To the south of the Bramaputrah is the Shillong plateau). We left at five (just getting light) and drove straight into the clouds which give Meghalaya its name ("the abode of clouds"). Of which more, later ...

text: We thank you for visiting. We have had a long great run showing and breeding AKC Boxers and within the last few years AKC French Bull Dogs. Our Callie achieved her Grand Championship and our own home bred Nip achieved his Championship. Losing Nip, Callie, Emma, Tiki and Rusty, within 6 months of each other and with Debbie having some health problems we have taken a break from showing. Of course we always hope to show another pup again some day Lord willing. We will post pictures of our crazy dogs, and of course we will post the puppies too. We had a wonderful opportunity of aquiring a wonderful AKC male French Bull dog Wesley. He has a nice short back, a great head and super attitude. He has been a blessing and a joy. We hope to have some really nice red fawn bundle of joys French Bull Dogs running around the house.

This reminds me of Moses. Consider when he fled from the land of his birth, and the only family he'd ever really known, who had provided all the riches and comforts anyone could hope for. He set out across the unforgiving desert, alone. How frightening the nights must've been, hearing the animals but not seeing them, alone in the dark, with no shelter in which to hide himself. What did he eat? How did he find relief for his parched throat?
Trudging along in the sand, how his legs must've ached! But he kept on, moving forward, not even realizing he was being strengthened in the trials and the hardships for God's own purpose. He never realized the lessons he was being taught would be used as the Lord continued to teach him to rely only on Him and His spoken word as he would later lead his people out of slavery and point them in the direction of their promised land.
If we persevere in our walk with Him, relying on the Holy Spirit as our guide and our strength, who knows how God might use any one of us for the glory of His Kingdom?

While many startups aspire to become "The Property of Google," UK-based DotHomes wants to be "the Google of property."
Just when you thought the days of aspiring Googles had ended, vertical search took on a life of its own. In real estate, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, Redfin and other sites have become classic disruptors in the marketplace.
In the UK, the disruptor was DotHomes.co.uk. After conquering South Africa, DotHomes (free for consumers and realtors) has crossed the pond to the U.S.
Greg Sterling of Screenwerk is all gloomy about survival prospects for 10-12 real estate search engines. He likes the Bob Tedeschi POV in his NY Times E-Commerce Report today, Despite Housing Slide, Real Estate Sites Sell . Tedeschi quotes Nielsen Online that the number of ads displayed on real estate sites are down, though the number of visitors is up.
The DotHomes press release notes in big caps that it "DOES NOT" host realtor listings on its site, only result summaries. Users are directed to the agents' original listings, from the more than 1 million broker listings aggregated.
Other Googly features: one-box search, customized for natural language queries, and the potentially dangerous "I'm Feeling Wealthy" button to view the most expensive U.S. homes on the market.
I may have found an error in the pricing of a home. See if you can find the sky-high property in a town not known for $40 million properties in the "I'm Feeling Wealthy" New York, NY listings and let me know if I'm way off base.
A couple great Web 2.0 benefits of the DotHomes site for real estate brokers:
Heat maps of local prices per square foot may not be as popular with brokers as "On-the-fly video uploads" designed to make updating DotHomes easier.
Now DotHomes and the Flip video camera may give a whole new meaning to "flipping properties."

Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Illumina inked a co-marketing agremeement with Covaris under which the latter's DNA-shearing technologies will represent the preferred method with Illumina's next generation sequencing platforms including the HiSeq, HiScanSQ, and Genome Analyzer.
The firms claim the Covaris system is isothermal and non-contact, ensuring molecular stability throughout the sample preparation process. It also facilities higher recoveries for nucleic acid extraction, tissue homogenization, chromatin shearing, protein digestion, and cell lysis, they point out.
Covaris specializes in providing sample preparation systems for a range of applications including next generation sequencing, ChIP proteomics, and compound management. The firm claims its Adaptive Focused Acoustic (AFA) technology offers unmatched speed and efficiency for biological and chemical sample preparation.
AFA was derived by incorporating advances in medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging and therapeutic lithotripsy applications such as the high-intensity focused ultrasound-based acoustic disruption of kidney stones. This core technology when coupled with advanced microprocessor and robotic controls, is able to provide diverse, beneficial applications for the life sciences, according to Covaris.

First Impressions Are Everything
A logo is the first thing any client sees, and it needs to make an impact! It must be original, and unique enough to stand out among the rest, and make people want to know more about what it is that you do.
Ultimately a logo should be a visual concept that is eye catching, original, and above all memorable, because a logo is not what defines you, but rather it's what will identify you to your clients. Below are some of my favorite logos I have done for companies in the past, that I feel make an impact.
Photo editing is the basis of most graphic design work, and retouching images are a fantastic way to build up the necessary skills and experience one needs to be a successful designer. Here are some images I have worked on in the past.
Icons can add personality and feeling to any online experience. When designed correctly, an icon should be simple, clean and get the point accros with minimal effort.
Here is a collection of Icons I've made for various uses. Some have been used on website and in social media, and others have been used in print. Done in Adobe Illustrator CS6.
"Good icons should be more like road signs than illustrations, easily comprehensible, and not cluttered with extraneous detail"- Susan Kare
One of my favorite projects I was able to take on working for Danier Leather, was an update to their Danier Angels logo. This logo is used on all promotional material for the Heart and Stroke Foundation: Run for a Cure, that is held every year in September.
Danier Leather has been participating for over 10 years and has contributed over $140,000 this year alone. And because of this great milestone, they wanted an updated look for their logo. This is the final result.
This is the end result of the Danier Angels logo, complete with their team moto "Every step brings us closer to a cure".
Proposed brand stationary to accompany rebranded logo.
It's Always Good To Have A Little Fun
As a graphic designer, we are full of creativity and originality; but often times we need to channel that creativity to work in the boundaries of the client or the job. It's good at times to let loose and create something with no restrictions or boundaries, but for the sole purpose of creating something.
I feel creative work often times shows aspects of design that are often overlooked with client or job based design, so I have chosen to add a section for some creative work that I have done in the past for myself and friends.
