As we walk upon the road we meet ourselves. And at the end, perhaps we'll find there are no sides to take, no enemies of state, no arguments against the other. There's only death that waits. But on this tiny planet, and in this precious moment, we have the chance to live in peace together. If only we would take a walk.
John Francis, Ph.D., Planetwalker
Overview: Winter quarter, on campus, we will study El Camino, the collection of traditional pilgrimage routes that all end in Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Spring quarter students will travel to their chosen starting points, walk the Camino, meet in Burgos a few weeks into the quarter, then in Santiago for a several days of discussion, reflection and evaluation. Then we will walk more or less together to Finisterre, the "end of the world" and the site of the pagan altar to the setting sun, Ara Solis.[1]
El Camino de Santiago, "The Way of Saint James," is a collection of traditional pilgrimage routes that end in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where, under the altar of the Cathedral, Saint James the Greater is said to be buried. A monk said, "The only thing all pilgrims have in common is an interior necessity—I must go, I don't know why…." As we study and walk the paths to Santiago, you will learn from, not just about, the Camino. It may teach you why you had to go or about yourself or how you want to live. This Walk is a "focal activity" that makes demands and requires discipline, helps you sense relationships even when walking alone, reassures you about unknown capabilities, and, as one writer put it, gives you a "glimpse of life-giving possibilities."
Winter quarter: We will study, first, the political history and the art of walking, and, second, the art and practice of pilgrimage. Then we will take up the historical, religious, political, and cultural background of the Camino as well as its place in contemporary Spain. Accounts of the Camino provide many takes on why people go to Santiago, what is required—physically, mentally and financially—for walking routes that vary from 60 to more than 1,000 miles (100 – 1,600 km), what "pilgrimage" might mean in our time, and the kinds of meanings people make of their experiences.[2] Readings will range from the mystical realm to first aid for blisters, from foot care to spirit care and everything in between. This portion of the program will involve significant lecture time, guest presentations and seminars. And we will—all together, in small groups, and alone—take preparatory walks.
Integrated Instruction in Spanish: Students will have the option to take 4 of the 16 credits for Winter Quarter in "Conversational Spanish." Students who do not wish to take this part of the program may receive 16 credits under the "Walking to Santiago de Compostela" umbrella or they may decide to take the Winter Quarter program for 12 credits and enroll in another 4 credit course.
Up to 50% of the quarter's credit will be awarded for a substantial independent study that will be designed to give students a personal entrée to and a continuing connection to their walks. Projects will be designed to continue during the students' walks in the spring. Art students, for example, might study the Christian art, funerary sculpture, or the iconography of the Camino, even the waymarks and waysides. Students interested in social sciences might study the history of some particular aspect of the walk (e.g., the pre-Camino history of the Iberian peninsula or relationships among Moors, Christians and Jews through the Reconquista, the relationships between walkers and locals, or the worldwide network of support organizations), post-Franco Spanish politics, the producer coop movement in the Basque country, or the Camino's economic impact on northern Spain. Science students could look at climate, environment (including our internal "environment": the science of awareness, consciousness, attention…), regional agricultural or fishing practices, the health effects of the long economic downturn in Spain, even the kinesiology of walking, or nutrition and physical fitness in our group. For the musical, there is a long tradition of "walking music" and at least one full-scale music project, by violinist Oliver Schroer, of songs recorded in 25 churches along his walk to Santiago. (Schroer called his compositions "duets between violin and buildings."[3]) For readers, there are rich literatures associated with the walk. Some students will decide to undertake a more intensive study of language(s), Castellano, Galego, Portugués, Basque. The faculty will support almost any serious independent inquiry that better prepares the student for her or his walk. Students will be encouraged, and helped, to seek supportive experts elsewhere, including in Spain.
We'll spend time on logistics. We'll research routes and, while students will be encouraged to walk the Camino Francés across the northern part of Spain, everyone will choose a route. We'll read guidebooks, select walking gear, decide on walking partners (and make group covenants about what "walking together" will mean), make travel plans, obtain credenciales (the Camino "passports" that document one's progress and that provide access to low-cost, pilgrim-only dormitories), consider food and shelter issues along with their budgetary implications, talk about how to stay in touch while on our walks,[4] gather maps, tips, historical and cultural information, and so forth.
My programs always include significant time for reflecting on one's work. Students will begin an intensive journaling practice and will maintain a manual,[5] both of which will continue in the spring. At the end of winter, each of us will write a mid-program self-evaluation prompted by the monk's comment in David Downie's Paris to the Pyrenees: A Skeptic Pilgrim Walks the Way of Saint James: "The only thing all pilgrims have in common is an interior necessity—I must go, I don't know why…."
Going out—fasting—singing alone—talking across the species boundaries—praying—giving thanks—coming back. [Gary Snyder, from The Practice of the Wild]
The wild requires that we learn the terrain, nod to all the plants and animals and birds, ford the streams and cross the ridges and tell a story when we get back home.
[Gary Snyder, in The Etiquette of Freedom]
Spring Quarter: Everyone will be prepared to get to their starting points during the first week and begin their walks. Everyone will check in regularly with everyone else; you will be expected to have a Spanish phone number and to make daily blog entries (and to geolocate yourself on a map) on the program's collective blogsite. (Winter readings will include books by people who aborted their walks, who completed their walks in stages, and who took buses for various stages. Students should begin their walks knowing there are many ways to "The Way."[6])
We will spend several nights together midway through our walks. Then, most of week seven or eight will be spent together in Santiago, reflecting thoughtfully, carefully, playfully and, most important, together on our walks. We will also write first drafts of evaluations. Then we will walk the Camino Finisterre, the old pagan route toward the setting sun, the Costa da Morte (the "Coast of Death") and "the end of the world." Some may decide that it is important to follow the route from Fisterra north to Muxía and back to Santiago (and those who do may be eligible for a second Compostela). Some may even find time to squeeze in other walks, including the Camino Portugués from Oporto.
By the middle of evaluation week, everyone will send to everyone else their essays of an Academic Statement. Your prompt will be derivative of Downie's monk's comment: We'll begin, "Now I am here, I don't know why…," and write from there. What better time than the end of a pilgrimage to reflect on the scope and arc of one's learning on El Camino and throughout one's entire education? (An American I met outside El Museo de arte Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid told me of a pilgrim's report on his Way that encouraged this fellow to get on his own Way to St. James. In the shade of the museum's garden and in a grand New York accent, he said, "This guy says El Camino is like a whole life, your whole life. You're a baby when you start. You don't know what you're doing or what you need, don't know what to put in your pack. You just start. And you get over those mountains and you're dazed; you don't know what's going on. Then, after a while, it's teenage time. There are lots of parties and everyone is having a really good time. You're cocky. Then you get to the meseta, that high plain that just goes on and on, dry, straight, day after day the same thing. That's middle age, isn't it? Then come those next mountains. And there you find that you're well seasoned, that the Way is new and challenging, but you have everything you need to accomplish what you need to accomplish. Then comes the onset of the end: beautiful Galicia rolls on in front of you, reminding you every step of the Way of the frailties you've acquired, of the way you've been beaten up even though you're still strong, reminding you that most of it all is now behind you, telling you, kilometer marker after kilometer marker, that the end is nearer and nearer. And then you're there. You're in the Cathedral that is dedicated to Resurrection. But–and this is the best part–you're not dead! You get to keep going. How 'bout dat? That's why I'm going.")
The Real Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
Notes on Pedagogy and Learning: I will be in direct contact with all members of the class all of winter quarter as we prepare, individually and collectively, intellectually and physically, for the trip, and during the final week(s) in Spain.
I will be in indirect contact with the group for the weeks everyone is walking their own Ways to Santiago. Everyone will have a phone that works in the countries students visit and everyone will have all the group members' numbers. Beyond that, we will likely use an Internet-based site to keep track of one another. And beyond that, there is an "inter-personal telegraph" that develops informally, especially on the well-traveled Camino Francés where fellow travelers often pass messages about the whereabouts of one's group members. On safety, Carlos Mentley, of the organization "American Pilgrims on the Camino" wrote, "It is common for people to undertake the pilgrimage by themselves. On the very first day of walking, however, every pilgrim realizes that he or she is surrounded by other pilgrims engaged in the same undertaking, and a very real community of pilgrims quickly forms. They walk and talk together, eat and sleep in the same places, and they take care of each other. Medical services, should they be needed, are always readily available—this is Europe, after all—and pilgrims are especially well cared for."
In all my programs I aim to prepare students to go their own ways and, to that end, I always build an independent project into every program. I try to prepare students well so they can use the grounding of our common program experiences to find their ways into independent work. El Camino tests everyone but it usually gives you the chance, often second chances, to know that you are prepared to learn from its tests.
In the winter we will focus on individual and collective preparation for the trip with a special emphasis on fostering a supportive group sense, both in class and on preparatory walks. One has to prepare carefully and thoughtfully for the Camino. We'll do lots of preparation and planning, individually and together, as the Course Description says (and we'll regularly remind ourselves that planning and preparation can deceive one into thinking he or she is ready for El Camino). Part of our planning will be contemplating the wisdom of many other walkers that says, in effect, "Plan well and always expect your plans to fall apart!" Winter quarter will aim to prepare students so well that they will know what to do when that happens.
It's important for students to walk their own ways, in relative independence of the faculty. They have to have a chance to learn what they will learn instead of trying to learn what a teacher wants them to learn. Other Camino walkers say that your pack will become too heavy if you pack up all your fears. If you're afraid you won't find water along the way, you'll carry too much water. You carry too many clothes because … you just never know. If you fear getting lost you'll pack too many maps and guidebooks, maybe even a GPS. And any student always has a default inclination to carry along a teacher because she fears she doesn't know enough, can't find out what he'll need to know when he needs to know it, or because he won't learn anything otherwise. Part of our collective work in the winter quarter will be learning from all the teachers we can find so that we will know we'll be able to make our own ways when the time comes.
Coda on Miracles: In Off the Road, an early (1994) and popular book on the Camino and the source of many of the stories incorporated into the 2010 film The Way, non-believer Jack Hitt muses on miracles. The word, he says, entered English not from a supernatural realm but from a Latin word, mirari, that meant "to look on in wonder" (and that also snuck into our language through a side door in the word "smile"). Miracles for Augustine, Hitt says, "were small epiphanies that confounded our expectation of nature and creation" and that encouraged people to become a person "who sees and experiences things [even, maybe especially, familiar things] for the first time."[7] Hitt's Camino miracles included, for example, those many times that he came to an unmarked crossroad and "a man on a bicycle pops into existence" to shout, "Pilgrim, turn right!" or when, exhausted after a long, hot day, he arrives in a village and finds the address of a local refugio on an old paper scrap in his pocket. People who carry teachers with them often learn to think they know what to expect; the program will be designed to prepare ourselves to leave all expectations at home so we can see where we are as we go. And to smile.
[1] Under exceptional circumstances, and with faculty approval by week six in the winter quarter, students may be admitted for the spring quarter without enrolling in the winter. The student applying for spring-quarter entry must demonstrate to the faculty adequate preparation for undertaking the study abroad, including academic preparation (sufficient reading as well as preparing for an independent research/study project while abroad), as well as logistical and physical preparation. The student must submit the program's study abroad questionnaire and meet with the faculty for an interview to demonstrate his/her preparation and competence to walk the Camino.
[2] In 2013, 215,880 people received "the Compostela" (the certificate of completion) at the Cathedral in Santiago after having walked the final 100 km or biked the final 200 km (in 2014, 237,886). 87% arrived on foot (89% in 2014); 66 people arrived in wheelchairs (98 in 2014); 19% were students in both 2013 and 2014. When asked their reasons for undertaking the pilgrimage, 40% in 2013 and 42% in 2014 said "religious" reasons, 55% in 2013 and 51% in 2014 said "religious and cultural," and 5% in 2013 and 7% in 2014 said "cultural." While the Camino is associated with the Roman Catholic Church and ends at the reputed tomb of Saint James, son of Zebedee and Salome, this program will not emphasize the religious over other aspects of or approaches to the Camino. Our aim will be learning in the sense that Evergreen Faculty Member Don Finkel articulated that term years ago: Don used to say that learning requires, first, that one have an experience and, second, that one reflect on that experience ("and," he always added, "schools will often conspire to prevent you from taking that second step"). This notion of learning will take students beyond the traps of "tourism," beyond any particular understanding of their walks and into their educations.
[3] An ILC student walking the Camino in the spring, 2014, said, "Sounds like a real Evergreen thing."
[4] One of our reference works says, "The Camino is very safe there have been few reports of violent crime on it," but goes on to give usual cautions about walking along roadways, about using reflective clothing in low-visibility situations, taking precautions against theft, etc. (Gerald Kelly, Camino de Santiago: Practical Preparation and Background, 2012). Staying in touch may involve the use of Spanish cell phones and an Internet-based site that will allow posting and exchange of notes and registration of one's position at the end of each day. Check on the possibility of "unlocking" your cell phone and replacing your SIM card with a Spanish SIM card. In 2014, a SIM card pre-loaded with 5 euros of phone time cost 15 euros at Phone House in Santiago. Alternatively you can buy a regular phone and pre-loaded SIM card for about 40 euros.
[5] In ancient Greece, a manual, an Encheiridon, was "that [book] one has at hand" in which one inscribed "principles, 'dogmas,' rules of life, or formulas which would allow a person to place himself in that inner disposition most conducive to correct action, or to accept his fate" (Pierre Hadot, Inner Citaldel, 61). Michel Foucault says of these:
Their use as books of life, as guides for conduct, seems to have become a common thing for a whole cultivated public. One wrote down quotes in them, extracts from books, examples, and actions that one had witnessed or read about, reflections or reasonings that one had heard or that had come to mind. They constituted a material record of things read, heard, or thought, thus offering them up as a kind of accumulated treasure for subsequent rereading and meditation.
One might combine the manual with one's pilgrim's journal/diary. During the winter students will decide the best way to collect material that will help them remember and reflect on their journeys, that will help them choose right ways.
[6] Respectively: aborted walks: Kathryn Harrison, The Road to Santiago, National Geographic, 2003; walk in stages: Victoria Sweet, God's Hotel, Riverhead Books, 2013, and Downie, Paris to the Pyrenees, Pegasus, 2013; used buses very occasionally on a 1,000 mile walk: Tony Kevin, Walking the Camino: A Modern Pilgrimage to Santiago, Scribe Publications, 2009.
It is possible to receive no credit or reduced credit if one does not complete the program requirements, but it is not possible to "fail" at the Camino. There is no penalty if you do not make it to Santiago on foot; it is not "better" to finish sooner than others; you are not doing a "less authentic" Camino if, for example, you decide to hire a travel service to take your bags from one albergue to the next,. Reflecting carefully on all the decisions that go into making your Way is far more critical to your education than doing what some people consider a "more authentic" Camino or comparing and contrasting the "facts" and "data" from your walk to those collected by others. Everyone arriving in Santiago is greeted simply as a pilgrim.
[7] The practice of "seeing the world as if for the first time" is common in ancient philosophical schools (Pierre Hadot, What is Ancient Philosophy?, 2002). Learning to see this way—training the eyes to see "as if for the first time"—is an ascetical discipline that, some schools taught, freed one from habitualized perceptions, taught expectations and learned conventions. This proposed program is, for me, one in a ten-year series of programs organized around the old notion of living "a philosophical life, and of philosophy as an art of living" (Alexander Nehamas, The Art of Living: Philosophical Reflections from Plato to Foucault, 1998). This series started with the five quarters of "Awareness" with Sarah Williams (which began in the winter, 2006) and continued through "Awareness: Writing and Renunciation" with Sara Huntington in the fall, 2007, the Native American Studies "Justice" program (David Whitener, an early leader of the NAS program, told me in 1987 "Teachers are trained to say no to students—'No, not that book yet,' 'No, not that course next' … you know. Here we say yes to students."), my series of solo "Freedom" programs in AY 2012-13, even the fall, 2013, "Can Science Help Me? … to be Better?" with Mike Paros. In the year before the Camino I taught with Sara Huntington in "Silence, Solitude, Laziness and Other Pillars of the Good Life," and with Kabby Mitchell in "Movement/Thought." In fall quarter, 2015, just prior to this program, I am teaching with Terry Setter and Cynthia Kennedy in "The Art of Living Consciously." With thanks and deep gratitude to all these good colleagues for helping me learn what I needed to know to go my Way…

Scheduling a walk through is not a requirement of any resident upon completing the Move Out Process at the Regency & Villas Apartments! With that said, some residents prefer scheduling a walk through so we make ourselves as available as possible.
If you are interested in scheduling a "walk through", there are a few things to consider!
Important Information to Consider before Scheduling:
1) Schedule a Walk Through at least 7 days in advance
We move out nearly 90% of our residents on two main move out weeks each year which means as many as 400-600 residents will likely be moving out the exact same week as you!
The Lease Contract requires all residents to schedule a "walk through" at least 7 days in advance although our schedules fill up often months in advance. We provide an availability schedule 24/7 for residents to plan ahead.
2) A "Walk through" does not replace the final inspection by the Management Team
A common misunderstanding is that the "walk through" in student housing is identical to the process for multi0family apartment communities in which you may be more accustom.
A member of the Regency staff will walk through the apartment with you and point out areas that may be considered a move out charge in terms of cleaning, carpet replacement, painting, etc. However, without the apartment being completely vacant we cannot guarantee that we can see everything and no documentation will be provided to the Resident after the "walk through". It is impossible for us to walk all apartments on the same move out date and thus many residents live in the unit for weeks after we have completed a "walk through" of the apartment
The final walk through, that is used for the Final Account Statement, will be handled by the professional Management Team in bulk after all residents have moved out in order to expedite the "make ready" process for the incoming residents.
3) What if we have disagreements about the charges?
We strongly suggest that you take pictures upon leaving. Our management team does not "over bill" or make increased profits on the "make ready" process as with many companies. Our "make ready" costs match what we bill back to residents nearly perfectly as it is not our intent to charge for areas that we do not have to "make ready" for the incoming resident.
With that said, you may move out before your roommate does, disagree with the carpet needing to be replaced or any other example we could list! It happens! Having a photograph of the apartment on your smart phone is a very quick and easy way to provide us with your perspective of the condition of the apartment.
Simply email us any photos you have and our Management Team will happily review our records of contractor work in the apartment, bills they charged us and our own records of the condition when we completed our walks!
4) How far from my scheduled Move Out Date can I schedule a "walk through"?
In truth you can schedule one anytime you would like. As stated previously, the walk through is more of a support mechanism for us to point out areas that we deem necessary to replace, clean, paint, etc. prior to the next resident coming out.
With that said, the further out you are the more likely something new may get damaged so the advice will not be as accurate! It truly is up to you.
Schedule a Call
If after reading the previous Important Information to Consider you would like to schedule a walk through of your apartment please look through our availability here! This calendar is updated regularly and as residents schedule appointments those times are removed automatically.

How did you come to be interested in the Lei Crime Kindle World?
I was recommended to Toby by a friend, M. L. Doyle, who has written two books for the Lei Crime Kindle World. My current books, part of The Trudie Fine Mystery Series, are cozy culinary mysteries. Some of Toby's characters lend themselves to the culinary genre, and I was quite flattered that Toby reached out to me to write this book. As in my other books, I have included recipes in the back of the book for dishes served in the story.
Tell us how your story links to the Lei Crime Series.
For my main character, I chose Anna Scatalina, mother of FBI Agent Marcella Scott, the protagonist featured in Toby's book, Stolen in Paradise. In that book, Anna and her husband Egidio have followed their daughter to Hawaii to be near her. Anna has been taking culinary classes at the University of Hawaii.
In my novella, Pineapples and Pearls, Anna opens a café in Waikiki, where she takes on a protégé, a Hawaiian surfer named Makoa. But the story focuses on Anna's niece, Paolina, who flees from her abusive boyfriend in New Jersey hoping for a safe haven with Anna and Egidio in Honolulu. Paolina, who's been working in her family's Italian restaurant for years, helps out at the café while trying to infuse some traditional Italian dishes onto Anna's menu.
In the meantime, Paolina fears for her life, certain that her ex-boyfriend will follow her. No one really knows if, when or where Gino will show up, but everyone is on alert. With Marcella out of town at a conference in Maui, Anna enlists the help of her daughter's fiancé, Detective Marcus Kamuela of the Honolulu PD.
The Lei Crime Series are police procedural mysteries with a twist of romance. What genres do you explore in your story?
As with my other books, I have continued the police procedural culinary genre, although this is not a culinary mystery per se, nor is it a cozy. This story has more of an edge to it because of the vicious abuse Paolina has suffered from Gino. She no longer trusts any man. However, as Paolina and Makoa become friends, she begins to feel more comfortable with him. He inspires her to spread her wings in life, as he is doing, and he teaches her to surf. Romantic sparks develop between the two.
The Lei Crime Series is set in Hawaii, but these novellas could be set anywhere. Tell us about where you set your story, and why?
With Anna Scatalina as my character choice, I set Pineapples and Pearls in Honolulu where she is. Anna is originally from Italy but raised Marcella in New Jersey. Paolina was born and raised in New Jersey as well, and there are some short scenes that depict her life there. But the bulk of this story takes place on the balmy shores of Waikiki, the location of Anna's Café as well as Anna and Egidio's condo where they live.
Tell us a little about your main characters. Why do you think readers will like them?
When I read Stolen in Paradise and a little about Anna Scatalina, I fell in love with her and her nurturing personality. I felt she was someone who wants to take care others, to feed their souls as well as their bodies, which is probably why Marcella felt so smothered by her. Anna is also endearing by the way she dresses; blessed with a great body, she knows how to maximize it. And with her husband Egidio in the shoe import business, Anna's extensive shoe collection in every style and color under the sun made her a delightful character to describe.
Makoa has an old soul and seems wise beyond his years. He is also trustworthy and loyal both as a friend and as an employee. His quest for something beyond his family's pineapple plantation is something Paolina never realized she was looking for herself.
Paolina is the victim in this story, and I think readers will feel as protective of her as do Anna, Egidio, and Makoa. She is a talented cook who likes staying close with family and friends. Her mistake was getting involved with the wrong person. The pearls she wears around her neck and clutches in times of stress become a character of their own.
What major theme comes across the clearest in your story? Is this a theme found consistently in your other works?
In this book, I explored the theme of abuse. The story focuses on the physical and psychological abuse that Paolina suffers from her boyfriend, Gino. However, it also looks at the abuse from the abuser, Gino's perspective. That he was raised by abusive parents drove him to grow up an abuser himself. He had to learn to survive on the streets. Paolina represented someone from the other side of the tracks, a life he desperately wanted. To lose her was to lose that chance. But the thought of losing her only drove him to further abuse.
In my Trudie Fine Mystery Series, I push the envelope a little by touching on issues not usually written about in the Cozy genre. Although abuse was not one of the issues, in the first book, A Fine Fix, one of the characters chooses an abortion. The second book, Fine Dining, focuses on an interracial relationship, and in the third book, Fine Arts, two of the characters have a lesbian relationship. All of these are merely incidental to the stories in the books, never specifically planned. As I wrote the characters and clarified them in my mind, all of these issues became very natural to the story. They are part of the fabric of our society, so in my mind, why not write about them?
Share some of your story about becoming a writer.
From childhood, I've always loved reading and writing, whether in journals, short stories or poetry. Then as a wife and young mother, I started writing a contemporary novel and worked on it for several years without every bringing it to publication. During that time, I kept working on honing my skills by taking fiction classes, going to conferences, joining two critique groups, and attending a one-week writer's workshop every summer in North Carolina. It was at the writer's workshop that I came up with my character, Trudie Fine. As I developed her, my first cozy culinary mystery began to take shape. I'd never read a cozy culinary mystery and didn't even know the genre existed until I began writing them.
I have had short fiction and poetry published in literary journals and anthologies and continue to enjoy reading and writing literary fiction.
Do you have a background related to your writing? What makes you interesting outside of your books? Authors are often some of the most interesting people I've ever met!
I will be retiring soon from my full-time job working as an executive assistant at a very large non-profit senior living facility comprised of a campus of two nursing homes, two independent living residences, an assisted living and a memory care facility, as well as a very impressive post-acute rehab center. Some of my short fiction focuses on older adults, who are often dismissed so easily by our society, but who have had full, rich, and interesting lives. We've had a famous archaeologist, a famed photographer, even a cattle auctioneer, as well as over twenty Holocaust survivors, among other impressive individuals living on our campus. What inspiration for my stories!
In my first career out of college, I taught first and second grade, then stayed home with my children before going back to work.
One of my passions is food, cooking, cookbooks, and watching cooking shows on TV. That is why the culinary genre is such a pleasure for me to write. It's no accident that Trudie Fine, the main character in my mystery series, is a caterer in the DC area (where I am from).
What are you working on next, aside from the novella in the Lei Crime Series Kindle World?
I will be starting on the next book in my culinary mystery series as well as a follow-up book to my Lei Crime Kindle World novella, "Pineapples and Pearls" in which Paolina and Makoa's story, as well as Anna's, continues.

Summary A trio of comedies about three couples spending a crazy weekend at an English country home, each hilarious play in The Norman Conquests trilogy is set in a different location: the dining room in Table Manners, the living room in Living Together, and the garden in Round and Round the Garden.
Our Recommendation Alan Ayckbourn, the prolific British playwright who specializes in wacky romantic comedies with serious undertones, has crafted an intricate comic puzzle with The Norman Conquests, writing each play so that it essentially takes place at the same time as the others. If you see all three (and you can see them in any order), the puzzle will be complete. However, each play is also satisfying on its own, so you don't have to see the entire trilogy. Either way, you're in for at least one great evening of hysterical farce as you watch shaggy playboy Norman trying to seduce the various women at the house.

H-1B Visas Reaches Cap for 2010
Remaining 11,000 H-1B Visas Taken
At the end of last year, a surprisingly high amount of H-1B visas were still available, which some speculated was due to the recession and higher visa fees. However, those fears can be set aside now as all of the remaining visas, which carried over into January, have all been snapped up.
Normally, the H-1B visa cap is reached within a few days. In 2008 the United States government had to come up with a computer lottery to determine who would get visas because they received so many applications quickly, but in 2009 it took until December for the cap to be reached (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services began accepting visas in April) but for 2010, 11,000 H-1B visas remained available at the end of the year so the government continued to accept applications for them into 2011.
The H-1B Visa is a visa for foreign workers to work in the United States, hired by American companies in certain specialty occupations. It is one of the most popular and sought-after United States visas, with 65,000 available each fiscal year.
Looking to work in the United States under an H-1B Visa?
The United States begins accepting H-1B Visas in April 2011, so if you're looking to work in the United States under an H-1B visa, there may be stiff competition.
With the US economy in recovery mode, the competition for these visas will make it all the more important that your H-1B Visa application is properly prepared and submitted before the cut off date!
To see if you are eligible to apply, take our free online assessment. Someone will contact you within 24 hours.

A cheeky, kung-fu-loving, cartoon bear takes centre stage in Panda Pow, a Chinese-themed offering from Lightning Box Games. Boasting the developer's usual visual flair, it comes with a bonus round that awards up to 40 free spins with extra stacked wilds added to the reels. Play from between 25p and £1,000 per spin.
We usually have little cause to grumble about the design of slots created by Lightning Box Games and Panda Pow! is another good-looking affair. The reels are set against a deep red backdrop, embossed with Chinese-style lettering. Joining the lower value K, Q, J and 10 symbols are 5 items traditionally associated with the Asian giant.
Look out for fans, lanterns and gold coins, each of which offer payouts of up to 100 coins per payline. They're joined by a goldfish which pays up to 200 coins. Most lucrative of the standard symbols is the baby panda – perched on a tree branch, he'll get you 2, 5, 50, 125 or 500 coins if you land 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on 1 of the game's 25 paylines.
There's a second panda to keep an eye out for too – sporting a red headband, he's a much more animated character. He serves a dual purpose too. As well as acting as a wild and replacing all other symbols, the panda is also the bonus-triggering scatter. He can land on the middle 3 reels only and hit 1, 2 or 3 symbols high. 5 or more of these panda symbols hitting on the same spin trigger the Free Games feature.
- 5 panda scatters = 5 free spins
- 6 panda scatters = 8 free spins
- 7 panda scatters = 12 free spins
- 8 panda scatters = 15 free spins
- 9 panda scatters = 20 free spins
You'll see special gold panda symbols added to the reels throughout the free spins. These can hit on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and appear in fully stacked formation. Land multiples of these on the same spin and some big rewards are possible. Finally, 5 or more scatters on a free spin will retrigger the feature with a possible 40 free spins on offer.
As we've come to expect from Lightning Box Games, Panda Pow is a glossy affair as far as design is concerned. The cartoon-style images are well drawn and have a nice, HD sheen. The backing track is a nice complement too, combining the developer's standard soundtrack with the occasional hint of Asia.
This slot doesn't hit the heights as far as innovation is concerned. The features aren't particularly interesting but the stacked wilds make the free spins round worth hitting. It's a perfectly solid effort though. Well designed and with a decent feature round, Panda Pow still manages to pack a decent punch. By the way – my favourite slot of theirs is Silver Lion which is definitely worth playing.

Snow blankets Japan's tsunami deadlands
Wed, Mar 16, 2011
TOKYO, JAPAN - A blanket of snow covered disaster areas of northeast Japan on Wednesday, amid a cold snap in the debris-strewn wastelands created by last week's quake and tsunami catastrophe.
Survivors and rescue crews - already facing an acute lack of water, supplies and fuel, power blackouts and poor telecommunications - had their troubles compounded by snow flurries over roads and rubble.
Temperatures in the worst-hit Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures fell sharply to near zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), and the meteorological agency forecast a drop to minus five degrees C Thursday.
(Excerpt) Read more at asiaone.com ...
Is this near the nuclear reactors? could the snow and cold help in cooling them? I realize everyone in this region has been through so much already, but maybe the cold and snow are useful now.
Prayers for all in the region!
I really hope you just forgot a < /sarcasm> tag. Unless you are actually distilling the water, most of the radioactive materials would be concentrated by boiling the water. Take a gallon of radioactive water, boil it for a few minutes to kill any bacteria and wind up with three quarts of water with the same amount of radioactivity as the gallon originally had.
Stay safe and God bless those suffering people in the north.
I would imagine worry about the fate and wellbeing of the people in the most affected regions are strong in your area. Stay safe.
From all I've read so far, the radiation levels won't kill anybody as fast as thirst or filth.
All day yesterday, Drudge was linking to the forecast using the words "Nuclear snow".
Yes, and the cold temps will slow decomp and disease spread.
"I really hope you just forgot a < /sarcasm> tag..."
I was taught that radioactivity has no physical form but rather attaches itself to stuff. Dust, for example. By boiling the water you remove the dust and any other particulate matter that is capable of "holding" the radioactivity.
If I am wrong, please correct me. I do not want to excrete incorrect info on FR.
PS: I got this from a 1950s government pamphlet.
The danger is from radioactive materials which produce these types of radiation. For example iodine-131 will decay into xenon-131 which is chemically inert and a beta particle. If you suck down a big glass of water with a lot of I-131, it will concentrate in your thyroid, emit a lot of beta radiation and potentially kill or give cancer to your thyroid. If you boiled that glass of water all the I-131 would stay there just as salt would when you boil salt water, so you would get even more I-131 when you drink enough water to quench your thirst. If you had a full distillation equipment you could get the iodine-free steam off the boiling water and then cool it down to make your glass of safe water.
I was taught that radioactivity has no physical form but rather attaches itself to stuff. Dust, for example. By boiling the water you remove the dust and any other particulate matter that is capable of "holding" the radioactivity.
Have you ever boiled a pan dry? Or even just let drops of hard water evaporate? The foreign matter (unless it is in a form more volatile than water, like alcohol) will just concentrate in the pan as you boil the water. Where I live that means a nice crunchy layer of lime (yum, yum).
Thank you for curing me of my ignorance.
Be sure to get under your school desk...now that'll save ya right?
man...remember those days?
Pajamas Media and Levin had a good long article on exactly what is going on nuke plant wise in Japan yesterday
man...remember those days?
Nope. First, I was born a little late. Second, B-52s were parked about a mile from my school so a desk isn't going to do much when I'm in the fireball radius from a Soviet megaton warhead targeted for my neighborhood. Yeah, I could survive for an extra tenth of a second from ducking and covering. We did have lots of drills on how to take cover in case the godless tornadoes attacked us, though.
oh yea...I am 53 and at French Elementary from 1963-1969 we had nuclear attack drills
under the desk or in hallway or the fallout shelter which was the lower level supply dressing area of the auditoriu,
useless as you say
and black and white instructional films
my poor parents...that would scare me now
course we got Muzzies now..far more dangerous than Soviets emotionally speaking
Russkies were not stupid
We are very glad almost all of my wife's family lives in Kyushu and Chugoku. A few extended family members are in Kanto. That's still much better than being in Tohoku.

*Follow this link for a new and improved version of this cake (trust me).
Hey everyone!
As the weekend draws to a close, I have some deliciousness to report about! By slightly tweaking my recipe for Paleo Chocolate Orange muffins, I have managed to create a very food porn-ish cake (i believe :D).
Paleo Chocolate Cherry layer cake to be precise!!
This image is something I have had in mind for a long while.. and I have also been waiting for a long while for cherries to become available! Today was the day. While I have had cherries in the fridge for quite a few days now, I had not yet had time to even think about what to do with them. Even now... by the time I got to making this cake, I had eaten probably almost half of the cherries I had, just in passing. Now, I was left with not quite enough cherries to use in the cake batter but instead got to test out my new all natural, sugar free Black Cherry Jam! Next time.. the cake will be FULL of cherries.. and will hopefully surpass this already amazing kind of paleo blackforest cake : ).
Note: This list of ingredients makes ONE of the layers. I baked each layer seperately one after the other but it would be possible to simply double these ingredients, make one cake and if you still want the layer of ganache in the middle - slice the cake in half. I dont believe that slicing the cake perfectly even would be overly easy though : ) - hence my baking the layers seperately.
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1.5 tsp baking powder
4tbs Natvia (brand of stevia)
4 eggs
1/4 +3tbs apple sauce
2tsp vanilla essence
5 fresh medjool dates pitted
1.5 tbs black cherry jam
Approximately 10 fresh cherries - seeds removed and chopped into spall pieces
Some extra jam to add when serving
150g good quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa with the least sugar possible - aim for a naturally sweetened product)
4tbs coconut cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C
Grease (with olive or coconut oil) and line round cake tin with baking paper
Combine coconut flour, cocoa, baking powder and natvia in one bowl - combine
In a separate bowl whisk eggs
In a food processor add dates, apple sauce, jam, vanilla essence and process until mostly smooth
Add to eggs and combine all wet ingredients togetherAdd wet ingredients to dry ingredients and beat with cake beaters until smooth
Pour batter into cake tin and place in pre heated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until firm to touch and a cake tester comes out clean.
Repeat for second layer and let both layers cool.
To prepare Ganache
Gently melt chocolate in a saucepan over low heat
Add coconut cream and vanilla essence
Stir to combine
Place bottom layer on serving plate and spread a layer of ganache on top
Sprinkle with half of the chopped cherries and add some dollops of jam as desired
Place second layer on top and repeat ganache, cherries and jam
All that is left now is to slice a piece of and EAT! : )
As with the Paleo Chocolate Orange Muffins, I recommend trying a slice of this cake after refrigeration! The ganache will set and something happens to the batter to make it amazingly delicious.
I would also recommend rerfigerating this within a day or so of making (unless of course the cake is devoured before you have a chance :D) to keep it fresh for as long as possible. I find that he lack of preservatives in my baked goods causes them to spoil quicker than unnaturally sweetened and processed products.
Serving suggestion:
Try serving a slice of this cake with some freshly whipped coconut cream or some home made coconut ice cream! Mint-Choc chip coconut ice cream recipe coming soon! : )
Goodnight everyone - Have a great week!

Morality and Markets, Dr. Ginny Choi, St. Vincent College
Date: Thursday, November 9th, 2017
Time: 4:00 pm
Duration: 1 hour
Location: Richardson, MI 113,
Morse-Ingersoll Hall,
700 College St, Beloit, WI 53511
Sponsored by: The Economics Department and the Institute for Humane Studies
Contact: Laura Grube, firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Ginny Choi is an Assistant Professor of Economics in the Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics and Government at Saint Vincent College and the Co-Director of the Economic Education Series at the Center for Political and Economic Thought. Dr. Choi is an experimental economist. From her chapter with Virgil Henry Storr, Ph.D., "Critics of markets have often asserted that markets undermine morality and that market dealings are unfair and corrupting. In their perspective, the expansion of the market and market values taint the nature of the goods being exchanged and the relationships between the parties to the deal.[We] argue that the market is a social arena where individuals not only pursue their material goals but also exercise their moral selves; after all, meaningful social bonds characterized by trust and trustworthiness can and do develop in market settings. The market depends on and promotes trust and trustworthiness as well as fairness and reciprocity and these values, as suggested by experimental economic evidence, play important roles in successful market exchanges." ("Can trust, reciprocity, and friendships survive contact with the market?" in J.A. Baker and M. D. White's (eds) Economics and Virtues: Building a New Moral Foundation. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 217-235. Forthcoming) For more on experimental economics, see http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/ExperimentalEconomics.html

Track Of The Day :: SHEAFS - This Is Not A Protest
Words: Sam Geary
Like their single 'Mind Pollution' from earlier in the year, 'This Is Not A Protest' is another thumping, loud and fierce slice of rock from Sheffield's SHEAFS.
At just over two and a half minutes, the plundering bassline and propulsive riffs of the song - which the band describe as "a tongue-in-cheek reflection of the present that has been written to capture the frustration of deficiency in rock 'n' roll icons, the music and the scene" - are wrapped around the catchy vocal chorus of "this is not a protest, the more you want yeah, the more you get less".
'This Is Not A Protest' is released on November 25.
Live dates:
15 Rough Trade, Nottingham
02 Kazoopa Festival, Leeds
08 The Chapel, Leeds w/Jordan Allen.

I absolutely love cheesecake!! This recipe is very easy to make, has no added sugar and is simply delicious! The coconut-pecan crust adds wonderful flavor to this dessert. You can top this with fresh fruit or sugar free chocolate sauce. I choose chocolate and caramel sauce, Yummy!
- 3/4 cup finely crushed pecans
- 3/4 cup coconut flour (I grind my own using unsweetened coconut)
- 1/2 cup Carbalose or oat flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2-3 tbls sweetener (to suit your taste)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 8oz packages of cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar substitute (if you use erythritol, make sure it is powdered)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup half & half or cream
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add the crushed pecans, coconut flour, Carbalose or oat flour, sweetener and cinnamon, stir to combine. Prepare a 9" springform pan with non-stick spray then spread the crust evenly on the bottom and 1" up the sides of the pan. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. If the crust pulls away from the sides of the pan, just push it back gently with the back of a spoon. For the filling, beat the cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and half & half, beat until combined. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, being careful to fill only to the top of the crust, and bake for 45 minutes or until it appears set when shaken. Loosen the cake from the sides of the pan and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the sides of the springform pan and cool completely. Chill for 3-4 hours before slicing. Top as you wish and enjoy!!

With "Suffragette" now in theaters, what lessons can we glean from this powerful story in the
current struggle for gender equality in Hollywood?
While women in entertainment certainly aren't kicked and beaten when they demand fairness and parity, the marginalization that female protestors faced a century ago in the U.K. resonate with today's fights for greater representation in the media, particularly in the struggle to be viewed as equally worthy — both as storytellers and as protagonists — to men.
Unlike the suffragists of yore, we've got a secret weapon on our side: market data. Our conundrum is that while women working on both sides of the camera are severely
underrepresented, research on movies and television dramatically supports
the fact that female-driven content is profitable.
We are in a unique moment of activism in Hollywood, with a
number of events bringing us to the edge of a tipping point. The Sony hack has
outed wage discrimination. The ACLU has successfully pushed state and federal
agencies to investigate "overt sex stereotyping and implicit bias" in the
hiring practices of the major Hollywood studios, networks and talent agencies. Stars — including Jennifer Lawrence, Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, Reese
Witherspoon and Meryl Streep — are using their platforms and experiences to
speak out against workplace discrimination in the entertainment industry.
As a producer who works with many talented female
directors (including Mira Nair, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Katja von Garnier and Kathryn
Bigelow), I know firsthand that female audiences crave more stories about their
lives, experiences and dreams. In the last decade, we've seen how breakout
hits with female stars and creators like "Twilight"
(directed by Catherine Hardwicke) and "The
Hunger Games" (produced by Nina Jacobson) have obliterated the long-held prejudices that female stars don't open
movies or that women
directors only make films for a less significant subset of the marketplace.
And yet, studies by Dr. Stacy L. Smith at USC's Annenberg School show that only 1.9% of the top-grossing 100 films of 2013 and 2014 were directed
by women.
I'm a national officer of the Producers Guild of America, and in 2012 I
rallied my colleagues to found the PGA Women's Impact Network to promote
strategies from producers in moving the industry toward a more gender-balanced
landscape. At the top of our list was the challenge of how to debunk the myths
that continue to perpetuate a
well-documented gender bias in Hollywood. Once we delved into it and looked at all
of the data available, the business case was clear-cut, staggering and
exciting. Ultimately, we were able to let the economics make the case for
casting aside these erroneous perceptions of women and their work.
month, the PGA Women's Impact Network and Women and Hollywood announced the launch
of "The Ms. Factor: The Power of Female-Driven Content," a "toolkit" to raise awareness among decision-makers in
the entertainment industry about the profitability of investing in female
producers, directors, protagonists and storylines. "The Ms. Factor," which I co-authored with Melissa Silverstein, is a
compilation of studies and statistics designed to offer filmmakers the analyses
they need to point to the power of women as a market and prove the commercial
viability of female-driven content.
Leading experts from Nielsen, Google Analytics, FiveThirtyEight,
The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and top researchers in the field — including Dr. Stacy L. Smith of USC's Annenberg School, Dr. Martha M. Lauzen of San Diego State and many others — were
invaluable in their support and research. We discovered that women outnumber
men in terms of moviegoers, television watchers, social media users and
In tracking shifting demographics, we found that women constitute an immensely
powerful market and one that, with changing family structures and women now
approaching 50% of the workforce, is growing exponentially in strength and
make upwards of 85% of all consumer decisions in the U.S., and over the next
decade are projected to control two-thirds of all consumer wealth. This means women
will be the beneficiaries of the largest transfer of wealth in our
country's history.
has become increasingly clear to me that what we're dealing with in our
industry is an institutional resistance to female and inclusive storytelling. The lack of a critical mass
of women decision-makers at all stages of the pipeline, from development to
exhibition, has created a very one-sided business. The ACLU
writes, "The failure to hire women directors in film and television cannot be
attributed to a lack of qualified or interested women. Women are well
represented in prominent films schools such as USC, NYU and UCLA." But we see obstacles
to jobs at the entry level, and later a drop-off in jobs as budget levels rise.
We also see that studios are willing to take risks on less experienced male
directors, but not female directors with equal or more experience. Unsurprisingly,
we see a retention issue with female directors. Viola Davis drove it home for
all women and people of color when she invoked Harriet Tubman in her recent, historic Emmy acceptance speech, claiming, "The only thing that separates women
of color from anyone else is opportunity."
is an elephant looming large in Hollywood rooms and offices, now popularly
referred to as "unconscious bias." These are attitudes and biases, exhibited by
men and women alike, that guide our patterns of behavior around diversity. The
deep roots of this hot-button issue of unconscious bias in Hollywood were prominently exposed in this season of HBO's "Project Greenlight." In a recent
episode, Matt Damon and African-American producer Effie Brown disagreed on
the concept of diversity in a conversation about hiring the director. Damon interrupted Brown to argue (falsely) that diversity is reflected in the "casting of the film" and
not the "casting of the show" (meaning the hiring of the people behind the
camera). He also appeared to be excluding diversity from his definition of
merit. The social-media conversation exploded, and this old elephant in the room
was unleashed.
Storytelling in a film is a collaborative process, and everyone working
on it contributes to the story in often uncredited but defining ways. In her famous TED talk, "The Danger of a Single Story," Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie says, "How
stories are told, who tells them, when they're told, how many stories are told,
are really dependent on power. Power is the ability not just to tell the story
of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person."
Having a woman at the helm affects the kind of stories being told and how women are portrayed. Female producers, directors and writers are
more likely to feature girls and women on screen. Another study
conducted by Dr. Stacy L. Smith, in partnership with Women in Film Los Angeles
and the Sundance Institute, demonstrated that female leadership promotes gender
equality behind the camera as well, resulting in more women hired as writers,
producers, cinematographers and editors — a 21% increase among scripted
features and a 24% increase among documentaries.
Television is reflecting the potential for edging up the opportunities for
women. Dr. Martha Lauzen at The Center for the Study of Women in Film
and Television
has reported that when there is a female writer, women characters appear on
screen 46% of the time compared with 39% when there are no female writers. Shows with at least one woman writer had casts that were 43% female. Additionally,
shows with at least one female creator had casts that were 47% female. And yet,
for programs airing on the broadcast networks, cable channels and Netflix in
2013-14, women comprised only 25% of all individuals working as creators,
directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors and
Study after study shows that a diverse and inclusive workplace
leads to higher rates of retention, happiness, productivity and profits. Many companies, like Google, YouTube and
Facebook are way ahead of Hollywood in changing the culture of their
corporations by using training methods to confront unconscious bias and talk
about it productively.
efforts led by industry veterans — including Executive Director of the Sundance
Institute Keri Putnam, President of Women in Film Cathy Schulman and director Ava
DuVernay, who is carving a new space with Array (showcasing the works of a
diverse filmmaker base) — have been huge in coalition-building and designing the
path ahead. Studio executives, producers and financiers must look at hiring and
financing practices across the board and encourage decision-makers to create
new standard policies for studio and agency director lists, actor lists and
crew lists, balancing them for gender and racial diversity.
The brave and radical British women portrayed in
"Suffragette" directly inspired American activists like Alice Paul to demand a
constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote. I was a producer on "Iron
Jawed Angels," a movie for HBO in which Hilary Swank portrays the fearless
Alice Paul, who in 1913 organized American women to protest a war-time
president — women who were then arrested, beaten, and jailed. She led a hunger
strike that stirred the nation's conscience and eventually led to the legalization
of women's right to vote in the U.S.
Would the story of the militant British women of "Suffragette" have made
it to the screen if writer Abi Morgan, director Sarah Gavron and producers Alison
Owen and Faye Ward had not been behind it? Morgan has said, "For 'Suffragette,'
I realized that I'd worked with a lot of female producers, but not that many
female directors. Immediately, this process was a comfortable space to be in,
allowing me more control over and personal involvement in the material. I
decided that the most interesting approach would be to consider the movement
through the eyes of an ordinary uncelebrated woman — of which there were
thousands — to explore how someone can be willing to sacrifice everything in
pursuit of an ideal."
reminds us of the sacrifices that women before us have made to blaze the trail
and change the definitive story of their era. Hopefully stories like these will
help us reach the hearts and souls of industry decision-makers, who must
examine and address their biases. It shouldn't take a hunger strike for
Hollywood culture to embrace equality and fairness.

Please scroll down for descriptions about offerings.
This beautiful session is the most potent of the ChristiEl transmissions, and is unique among all of my offerings as it is a powerful act of mutual creation. You become the author of the sound alchemy that comes forth as I follow the energy of your infinite being and shape that with crystal bowls and singing. Your presence illumines what you are ready to receive, shift, experience, and be, and then I act as the physical vehicle that delivers the vibration of all that you bring into view – no less than an illumination of your soul through song. This creation happens in the eternal now moment during the session, and afterward you receive a high-quality recording of your Soul Illumination Song to listen to as often as you like. Your Soul Song is a living, breathing stream of consciousness, and will shift and transform as you do, actively engaging you energetically right where you are here and now, as well as modulating to meet and support you in new ways as your awareness expands and transforms.
Here are some ways that the Soul Illumination Toning Transmission can serve you:
- As deep healing, including at the level of soul loss retrieval.
- As a living, breathing creation that shifts with you as you do.
- As a full integration of the eternal energy that you are in your physical form.
- As a portal to awakening and transformation.
- As a brilliant illumination of the nature of your eternal being.

Abstract: This article analyses and contextualises a variety of relationships between the cultural industries and cultural policy. A principal aim is to examine policies which are explicitly formulated as cultural (or creative) industries policies. It seeks to address questions such as: what lies behind such policies? How do they relate to other kinds of cultural policy, including those more oriented towards media, communications, arts and heritage? The first section asks how the cultural industries became such an important idea in cultural policy, when those industries had been largely invisible in traditional (arts and heritage-based) policy for many decades. What changed and what drove the major changes? In the second section, we look at a number of problems and conceptual tensions which arise from the new importance of the cultural industries in contemporary public policy, including problems concerning definition and scope, and the accurate mapping of the sector, but also tensions surrounding the insertion of commercial and industrial culture into cultural policy regimes characterised by legacies of romanticism and idealism. We also look at problems surrounding the academic division of labour in this area of study. In the final section, we conclude by summarising some of the main contemporary challenges facing cultural policy and cultural policy studies with regard to the cultural industries. The piece also serves to introduce the contributions to a special issue of International Journal of Cultural Policy on 'The Cultural Industries and Cultural Policy'.
Keywords: cultural industries, cultural policy
Corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.com
The last few years have seen a boom in interest in the idea of 'the cultural industries' in academic and policy-making circles. In government cultural policy, this boom has been apparent at the international, national and local level, in a massive array of reports, initiatives and partnerships that use the term 'cultural industries' (or 'creative industries'). Academically, this boom has been apparent in numerous journal articles and books on the cultural and creative industries across a wide range of disciplines, among them economic and cultural geography, arts management, economics, management studies, media studies and sociology. This explosion of writing and thinking about the...
