Capital News Service
PASADENA, Md. - Imagine a classroom where math is taught with Matisse and reading is learned through drama rather than a textbook.
"Arts integration strategy gets students to work with creativity. It gives them a chance to work with critical thinking," said Suzanne Owens, a visual arts coordinator in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, where this fusion of arts and common core objectives gives students a more enriching experience and lasting learning.
Arts integration came to the county in 2007 through a U.S. Department of Education Arts in Education-Model Development and Dissemination grant. Wiley H. Bates Middle School in Annapolis first piloted the program and now seven more schools have followed suit with great success, educators say.
"We have received a tremendous response from teachers, in that it makes them revitalized. It allows them to go back to the craft of teaching. It allows them to be creative in the classroom with students and provides them with energy because they're watching their kids be successful," said Susan Riley, curriculum innovation and resource development specialist.
Educators feel that by intertwining arts from theatre, music, visual arts and dance across common core lessons, they are activating a part of students' minds that otherwise may not be engaged.
For Amber Foster, a fifth-grade teacher at Riviera Beach Elementary School in Pasadena, that means getting students out of their seats and interacting with one another.
Foster relies not only on a textbook, but on poetry and a painting to teach the story of patriot Paul Revere's midnight ride before the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord. She points to Grant Wood's painting, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere," one Thursday afternoon and asks students a three-part question: How do the townspeople feel on this night? What do these people know or believe? What do they care about?
Answers to questions like these that show Foster her students are thinking critically. "I'm really activating a lot of their thinking skills...I don't want them sitting in their seats two hours straight reading out of a book," Foster said.
The students then read Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famed poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" and perform skits enacting the midnight ride, while Foster reminds them to work on locomotion and facial expressions.
Exercises like this help students make inferences, which might otherwise be difficult for them to do, Foster said. It is much easier to keep students' interest and transition to text-based learning, once she can get them thinking artfully.
"Arts integration not only increases knowledge, it increases skills. It's a huge method to increase student engagement and performance," Foster said.
Her classroom consists of visual learners, shy students and also energetic participants. Arts integration is a way to reach them all.
"I have students who will not talk in class, but when I do visual arts or drama, they participate so I can get a glimpse into what they're learning," Foster said. "I have kids who need to move or need to see something in a visual way first. So for those students who, in a traditional classroom, may be left behind, here they are right there with everyone else, if not succeeding more."
Next door in Chris Graulich's fifth-grade classroom, students learn math concepts through artwork by looking for parallel lines and angles. It's much easier for these concepts to sink in with students when they can visualize them, Graulich said.
"Using artful thinking gets them thinking...whether it's a drawing or acting, whatever trigger we used in class gives them a stronger grasp," he said. It also helps with recollection, Graulich said.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found the benefit of arts integration may extend beyond just recollection. It may improve retention.
Preliminary results of a yet-to-be published randomized trial have shown promising results, said Mariale Hardiman, director of the Neuro-Education Initiative in the Johns Hopkins University School of Education.
The study was carried out across four fifth-grade classrooms in a Baltimore City School over six months.
"At post-study testing we found that students equally learned the same amount of information," Hardiman said. "We probably thought that would be the case. However, 12 weeks later, the kids who had learned it through the arts remembered it better."
Manipulating an art form is a more memorable form of learning than just sitting down with a pencil and paper, she said, which allows for greater retention.
Hardiman's study has also shown that arts integration can be helpful to teachers who are having difficulty engaging their students. Student engagement scores went up for weaker teachers who applied arts integration, making them comparable to their stronger peers.

To me, this massage creme is a little on the absorbent side. I typically use a creme that doesn't require reapplication, this one does. This particular pump container is poorly planned. The tube that goes into the jar only reaches about 2/3 of the way to the bottom. Which makes it so you have to refill the container at least once a day.
Great product. However, on two occasions the product was so thick it would not pass through the pump. Massage Warehouse exchanged it with no problem.
Must be a mixing issue. Extreme temperature change during shipping or.....
Used the Bon Vital creme for the first time and it worked famously!! Not oily or greasy.
If you are looking for a pumpable creme, this is it. As for scent, me and my clients do not care for this one.
This is a nice massage creme, but not as manageable as the other massage cremes Bon Vital makes. Bon Vital is my nearly exclusive product line, but the other cremes have better control.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

Great Invitations
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I was very pleased with the products I received. The invitations were beautiful and were of a very high quality. Magnet street even made adjustments to my return labels to make sure they would print out legibly. I appreciated the fact that they really take the time to look at and make sure your invitations are going to look perfect when you receive them. I will absolutely be ordering from magnet street again in the future, probably for my thank you cards!
Simple, Fun, and Beautiful!
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I wanted an invitation that would stand out from your usual stuffy/formal feeling invites, but was also simple and had an easy to read layout. This one hit all of those marks! I love how much personalization I was able to do to make it my own and it couldn't have turned out any better! Love it and definitely recommend this invite to anyone, especially those trying to match to a rustic/outdoor venue!
Wedding Invitation
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I felt Magnet Street had the most unique and beautiful designs to offer of the stationary websites/companies I looked into. The color customization was simple and accurate- my invitations looked just like the colors I was seeing online. My fiancé and I changed a lot of the wording from the original invitation and even added a few lines. Everyone has remarked that the invitation is classy but unique to our taste.
Play w/ spacing to fit; Love the motifs and color flexibility
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations You may have to play with the text and spacing at the bottom to fit all the info you need. I ended up putting the address on the right side of the bottom text and made the left side the full date. I also made the left side text my accent color to add a little more contrast against the white background I used. I particularly liked being able to use multiple colors. I love the bistro light and LOVE motifs- it is sweet and classy. I also really liked the RSVP postcard and extras insert that match this. FYI: no additional postage req'd for this invite. I am going for a vintage, classic, and hint of whimsical tone and felt this fit perfectly.
Wedding invites
Romantic Mason Jar Square Invitations I was very happy with how my invitations turned out. I got a great price by using coupons I had received in the mail. I would highly recommend using Magnet street to anyone looking for profesional invites at a low cost.

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - Before heading to Monday's swearing-in ceremony and parade, your consider inauguration transportation carefully.
Depending from where you'll be coming, Metrorail may not be the best choice.
"If you live in Dupont Circle or Logan Circle, your best bet may well be to walk on Inauguration Day, or try taking Metrobus if you're a little bit farther out. (If you live in) Columbia Heights, Metrobus is going to be a great option for you straight down 14th Street or 16th Street," says Metro spokesman Dan Stessel.
"Don't forget about Metrobus. It'll probably be a very pleasant ride for a lot of folks and not overly crowded the way that Metrorail can be by the time you get to those interior downtown stations," he adds.
Metrobus will operate on a regular weekday schedule Monday, with early afternoon rush hour service to help clear the crowds on the National Mall.
Buses heading to or near the Mall will have special signs displayed in the front window.
Because of road closings, many bus routes will end sooner than they normally do near the Mall.
Here's more information about Inauguration Day bus routes.
"The best piece of advice we can give anyone in advance is to make sure you have a properly loaded SmarTrip or farecard for everyone in your group in advance of Inauguration Day," Stessel says.
Sales offices at Metro Center and the Anacostia station that are normally closed on Saturday will be open that day especially to sell Commemorative Inaugural SmarTrip cards. The cards will also be available for purchase Sunday at nine stations around the system.

Take aim at the reputations of some of the American frontier's most storied icons.
- See how today's most accurate shooters compare to icons like Wild Bill Hickok and Annie Oakley.
- Examine the exploits of frontier legends with an unvarnished eye.
- Modern master recreate legendary feats from an earlier era.
Wild Bill Hickok. John Wesley Hardin. Buffalo Bill. Doc Carver. Annie Oakley. Some of these skillful shots used their talents to survive in a hostile and lawless American West. Others honed their abilities onstage to make a living performing for audiences. But it turns out their legends might be the least accurate thing about these shooters.
So famous are these historic gunslingers, it's hard to separate the truth from the myth...until now. SHARP SHOOTERS stacks up some of today's greatest shots against the legendary feats of the past. Our three "deadeyes" recreate storied gun-slinging achievements while casting a skeptical eye at sensational stories culled from newspaper accounts and pulp fiction novels. In the process, they might just blow a hole in some of those treasured old legends. So keep your eye on the target, because you won't believe your eyes.

Lovely design, good quality and soft to the touch. The tabs which tie on the bumpers didn't fit my cot so not great if you have a chunky cot/cotbed. I did however manage to alter it and turned the ties into velcro tabs.
The set is fresh and clean looking, good as a unisex set.
highly recommended looks good and is very soft

So I wake up yesterday to a Tweet from a local weather enthusiast, with a link to a picture of a snowfall total map for this area. 10-12 inches we were slotted for.
Yeah, right!
The last time we had a really big snow deal was the Blizzard of 1996 where I remember getting about 4 inches of snow. I remember going out and measuring it with my little purple plastic school ruler. It was exciting. I had a blast playing in the snow out in our massive front yard. Snowmen families were created (and destroyed), snow boulders were strategically created. Though the best memory of playing in the snow that year was writing out the entire first verse of Alanis Morissette's "All I Really Want" in the snow in the middle of the yard. I was a huge fan and had just got the album a couple weeks prior. Scoring that album as a 7th grader was MASSIVE as the album was SO risque and controversial ;)
I also recall sitting at this same spot (different desk however) looking out the window in front of me at the snow, hoping school would cancel that Monday. School wound up being cancelled or late for a few days that week. You would have thought that all that time out of school would have given me plenty of time to finish a huge science project I had going. We had to make our own National Geographic type magazine on the planets. A LOT of writing was required. I was not keen on it at all. So, it was slapped together at the last minute and I got a crappy grade. Ah well, there was no Google then. *sigh* =)
I am very curious to see how this weekends storm pans out. Like '96 its a weekend storm. Maybe it will be "Blizzard of 1996 - The Resurrection" =)
I am just sitting here wanting to do something creative. I have ideas for writing but I cannot decide..well, let me say "WE" cannot decide anything. My alters and I.
Lately there has been a lot of ill communication and unrest which leads to nights like this where making descisions just don't really happen. I hate it. The others just are kinda like "wtf dude this sucks" and therefore everyone has been rather quiet.
One would think that when you have DID you would WANT all to be "quiet" but in OUR world, quiet is unsettling. Unsettling in the fact that we go totally emotionless and find something neutral to do. Work mode. I may post here some of the things that we write about stuff, like the writing explaining said "work mode"
One thing in work mode that sucks.. INTERRUPTIONS.
As I write, I receive a PM on my other computer from a close friend... like... no.
And I WONDER WHY at times I just wanna start shooting ppl at point blank range at this time of the night :P
The PM however is okay and not a big deal cause this is just a free form blog entry. Free for all! Yay!
I feel pretty decent about the day though so I plan on trying to keep things decent and (the PM was just an address) relaxing with little stress. It seems that I can do that fairly safely. The first thing in doing that is getting up, refilling soda and getting a cig. We will write more later and maybe post some other writings on here as well. The alters are not sure how they feel about publically posting some of the things we write but it may help others understand us and whatnot.
Blah blah blah I am SO done now. =)
Gah, I am so frustrated! I clicked around new themes for the blogs. This one is kinda stuck. There is apparently no way to change it. I hate this one! Dammit for me trying to be adventurous. I have checked all over the place and cannot find anything to do about it. Oh well. I will get over it.
Christmas cards are probably one of the most unsanitary traditions..
I am sitting here writing cards out and noted how horribly flimsy and cheap the envelopes are for these dollar store cards. You can see through them. So, I licked the envelope and shut it..only to find it barely stuck. So, I had to carefully lift up the parts that did not stick and re-lick them.
"Ew, my saliva is all over the edge of this seal, not once but twice!" I thought silently.
I would be interested in seeing a study of random card envelopes this holiday season. All this hype of h1n1 and regular seasonal flu makes you wonder what kind of "holiday cheer" we are REALLY spreading. It *is* the season of giving, so why NOT just give that extra gift that keeps on giving. Pumpkin pie anyone? :P
Going to start writing in here more often. Cannot seem to get the theme up at all. There is an error, so I am waiting on a reply concerning that.

Join award-winning wildlife photographer Matt Shetzer for a trip of a lifetime on our grizzly bear photo workshops in the pristine environment of Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
During the grizzly bear photo workshops, you will capture stunning images of grizzly bears in their natural habitat and perfect your wildlife photography skills while enjoying the picturesque setting of the Alaskan wilderness. Guests on the grizzly bear photo workshops will be immersed in the region's spectacular scenic beauty, photographing coastal brown bears while enjoying home-cooked meals and staying in an exclusive and strategically-located lodge, where bears can often be seen just outside the deck.
Shetzer's grizzly bear photo workshops specializes in one-on-one instruction for photographers of all levels in a small group setting, to ensure maximum field time while catering to each person's skills and interests. Grizzly bear photo workshops leaders are assisted by a Lake Clark bear guide who knows the animal's behavior and habitat and will take you to the prime destinations to capture magnificent images of grizzly bears.
Lake Clark National Park is a photographer's paradise. The wildlife preserve is the best destination to capture photos of grizzly bears because these bears have never been hunted. They aren't threatened by human presence and are not aggressive. This gives photographers on the grizzly bear photo workshop the rare opportunity to closely observe bears in their natural habitat.
Shetzer's grizzly bear photo workshops maintain a focus on small groups, allowing photographers to move around easily and efficiently to get the best shots possible – capturing the best light, backgrounds and compositions throughout your wildlife safari – while maintaining respect for the animals. By doing that, we end up with really natural shots. On a recent grizzly bear photo workshop, we had a sow and her twin cubs walk within 6 feet of us without any signs of stress. She was very aware that we were there but just walked right by us. It was an incredible experience our guests will never forget.
Hummingbird Photo Workshops
Dates: May 9-16, 2015 (Space Available)
Dates: May 17-24, 2015 (Limited Space)
Locations: Best Hummingbird lodges in Ecuador and Quito, Ecuador
Fee: $3,750 USD PP

Trip Leader: Matt ShetzerRegister Ask Question
Explore the vibrant rainforests of Ecuador with us during our 8-day hummingbird photo workshops and learn specialized techniques to create stunning images of hummingbirds as they feast on native flowers.
Over the course of the hummingbird photo workshops, we will journey over mountain passes and across the equator into lush rainforests to three different bird lodges. Each destination we stop at is home to unique species of hummingbirds and a diversity of flowers, giving you the opportunity to create your own exclusive portfolio of exotic hummingbird images.
Have you always wanted to know how to photograph hummingbirds? We have perfected our hummingbird photography workshop setup by using a series of seven to eight flashes synchronized by wireless radio transmitters. The multi-flash technique creates a strobe effect and freezes hummingbird wings (which can beat up to 80 times per second) in their tracks.
Guests who attend the hummingbird photo workshops will capture superb images of dozens of colorful hummingbird species feeding on beautiful native flowers.
Hummingbird photo workshop participants who arrive in Quito early can also enjoy adventure attractions such as rafting, mountain biking, swimming in waterfalls, climbing snow-capped volcanoes and cruising around the Galapagos Islands. There are also opportunities to see Quito's modern side before or after the hummingbird photography workshop, by taking scenic tours, shopping at South America's largest market and enjoying cultural fare.
Why do we go to Ecuador? It has the best photography opportunities with the most diverse species of hummingbirds of any country in the world.
Bald Eagle Photo Workshops
Dates: November 2-8, 2015 (Space Available)
Locations: Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, Alaska and Haines, Alaska
Fee: $2,950 USD PP. Single supplement of $500

Duration: 7 days/6 nights

Trip Leader: Matt ShetzerRegister Ask Question
Join us in capturing the majesty of America's national bird at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve during the largest bald eagle migration in the world. Our bald eagle photo workshops are centered on the more than 3,500 bald eagles in southeast Alaska that congregate from far and wide to feast upon salmon during the last major run of the season.
Every bit of the 48,000 acre Chilkat Preserve is inhabited by the American Bald Eagle at some point during the year. But a unique natural phenomenon attracts a breathtaking amount of birds to the picturesque landscape near Haines, Alaska in the early winter months. The convergence of three rivers creates a warm upwelling that prevents the water from freezing – making an easy meal for one of America's largest birds of prey.
Shetzer's bald eagle photo workshop will assist photographers in capturing crystal clear pictures of eagles along the scenic stretch of the Chilkat preserve. Here, illustrious birds with 7-foot wingspans perch on branches waiting to dine on 10-pound chum salmon from the Chilkat River. Unlike other bald eagle photo workshops offered in Alaska, you will have the opportunity to view bald eagle's natural behavior. There's no need to bait or use captive birds during the workshop. Just natural and wild photos await.
Matt has led ten bald eagle photography workshops in this area in the past four years, and spends the entire month of November scouting the best locations for getting one-of-a-kind images of bald eagles in their natural habitat. He will guide you to the best locations for photographing eagles with the best light and will provide detailed instruction on how to capture your perfect shot.

Lunch: Barry Diller, Jeff Zucker & The Magazine Mob
What recession? The usual power quotient found on any given Wednesday at Michael's went into overdrive today as the gals at the front desk had so many media moguls, magazine mavens and talking heads lining up to dine and dish today, they had to shoehorn in extra tables all over the dining room. Luckily, I scored some prime real estate for my lunch with my old pal Jeffrey Slonim and new-found friend Bettina Zilkha. Jeffrey and I have stood side by side on many a red carpet over the years and have bonded over the histrionics that goes with covering A-list events. These days Jeffrey is busier than ever as Interview's society editor (a prestigious gig once held by Truman Capote!) and Allure's special correspondent where he fearlessly asks all those publicity shy celebs questions we all really want to ask (bedtime rituals, what they really eat after parties — that sort of thing). It was nice to see him out in daylight. Bettina was recently named Special Projects Editor for Elle Decor and has a fascinating profile of designer Dennis Basso in this month's Avenue. We had a lively lunch trading stories about Gotham's gadflys we all know and love (all off the record, sorry to say). I can't wait until to our next get together.
Here's the rundown on today's crowd:
1. Crooner Steve Tyrellwith Frank and Jamie McCord (owners of the LA Dodgers, in case you were wondering), James McBride (the GM of The Carlyle where Steve is performing through New Year's Eve) and my good pal Amy Rosenblum.
2. Peter Brown
3. Jim Abernathy and Dawn Bridges
4. Barry Diller and the Financial Times' Chrystia Freeland who was warding off today's chill with a killer fur hat. Fab!

The Réseau Art Nouveau Network now Cultural Route of the Council of Europe!
The Réseau Art Nouveau Network is delighted to announce that it has been approved for certification as a Council of Europe Cultural Route by the Governing Board of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes (EPA), following the final defense which took place on 11 April 2014 in Luxembourg.
Through numerous activities (travelling exhibitions, colloquiums, publications, activities for children…), the Réseau Art Nouveau Network indeed created since 1999 an active cooperation and an exchange of experiences between multiple European actors concerned by the study and the conservation of the European and International Art Nouveau heritage, as well as by its promotion and diffusion towards the public while underlining the cultural values and the European dimension of this heritage.
It answers thus to the different requested criteria for the granting of this mention (representative theme of the European values common to several countries; projects of multilateral long-term cooperation of scientific research, of heritage conservation and enhancement – especially towards the young Europeans; organisation in independent and structured network…) and has been recognized by the EPA of the Council of Europe as a "a cultural, educational heritage and tourism co-operation project aiming at the development and promotion of an itinerary or a series of itineraries based on a historic route, a cultural concept, figure or phenomenon with a transnational importance and significance for the understanding and respect of common European values." (Annexe to Resolution CM/Res(2013)66)
It joins the 26 others Cultural Routes certified yet for a three-years collaboration especially with the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR), technical body set up in 1998 to ensure the continuity and development of the Cultural Routes programme in the 50 signatory countries of the European Cultural Convention.
The Cultural Routes programme was launched by the Council of Europe in 1987. Its objective was to demonstrate, by means of a journey through space and time, how the heritage of the different countries and cultures of Europe contributes to a shared cultural heritage. The Cultural Routes put into practice the fundamental principles of the Council of Europe: human rights, cultural democracy, cultural diversity and identity, dialogue, mutual exchange and enrichment across boundaries and centuries.

Call for papers II coupDefouet International Congress in Barcelona – from 25 to 28 June 2015
Breaking the Art Nouveau Glass Ceiling
The Art Nouveau European Route brings together local governments and other institutions in the common quest for the protection, promotion and diffusion of Art Nouveau heritage.
To fully explore and bring to light the value of Art Nouveau heritage, therefore, a Congress organised by the Art Nouveau European Route cannot limit its scope to the analyses and interpretation of the tangible heritage; it must go deeper into the reality of the communities that created it.
In this second edition of the coupDefouet International Congress, we propose to shed new light on an aspect that has been studied very little, if at all: the important contribution of women artists to the development of Art Nouveau. In a nutshell: women as artists, women as creators, women as promoters and protagonists of Art Nouveau. Coupled with this ambition, we also wish to revisit the widely studied and interpreted representation of the female aesthetic and ideal in Art Nouveau, with new contributions on the matter.
A further strand will focus on little-known Art Nouveau cities, in which we expect to discover creative centres of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that have not until now been widely publicised. A similar section on research in progress to the first congress, one in which we welcome presentations from both seasoned and young researchers, will complete the thematic strands of the programme.
The final deadline for submissions is 1 December 2014

Exhibition Lechner, A Creative Genius at the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest – from 19 November 2014 to 31 May 2015
In 2014 the Museum commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Ödön Lechner (1845–1914), one of the greatest Hungarian architects and one of the original geniuses of the European architectural scene at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To mark this anniversary, the Institute of Art History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest are jointly organizing an international conference and an exhibition.
This exhibition presents the whole scope of the work of the architect Ödön Lechner. Special attention is paid to five major works, nominated for UNESCO World Heritage Site status: the Kecskemét City Hall, the parish church of Budapest-Kőbánya, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Institute of Geology, and the Postal Savings Bank. Visitors can familiarise themselves with these through the architect's original plans and drawings, as well as period and modern photographs. Working drawings of the ornaments so crucial to Lechner's work, the publications which inspired him, and examples of the Zsolnay ceramic in which they were realized are also presented. One of the rooms evokes the world of the Japan Coffee House, Lechner's second home, another acommodates a panoramic movie of his major works.

Exhibition Ways to Modernism at the MAK in Vienna – from 17 December 2014 to 14 April 2015
Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956) and Adolf Loos (1870–1933) were the most important architects and designers in Vienna around 1900 in the generation after Otto Wagner. They developed two contrary approaches to the expression of individuality and self-realization among modern consumers. Josef Hoffmann followed a revolutionary path that led to the creation of utilitarian objects and architecture as aesthetic products in an ever-changing array of new designs. Adolf Loos pursued an evolutionary strategy that viewed utilitarian objects and architecture not as art products, but as the discrete background for individual lifestyles. These two contrary mindsets represent fundamental interpretations of the tasks of modern architects and designers as well as different images of modern lifestyles of the emancipated citizen.

Exhibition The Norwegian Japonism at the Jugendstilsenteret in Ålesund - from 26 September 2014 to 7 April 2015
"The movement that is now spreading from Japan across Europe"
This quote from the Norwegian artist Gerhard Munthe (1849–1929) refers to one of the main trends in European art from the mid-19th century through the early decades of the 20th century.
In 1853, Japan opened its borders to the outside world after 200 years of isolation. This lead to a cult of all things Japanese among European artists – a movement labelled as Japonism from the 1860s–70s onward. This Japanese-inspired art did not constitute a style as such, but greatly influenced a number of styles in European art. In the 1880s and 1890s, Japonism became a major ingredient of the Art Nouveau style. In Norway, Art Nouveau peaked in popularity in the years between 1890 and 1910.
This exhibition looks at the connections between the Art Nouveau style, the nation-building project in Norway, and the Japonism movement as expressed in Norwegian Art Nouveau. Starting with Gerhard Munthe, considered the leading proponent of Japonism in Norway, the exhibition highlights connections between Japonism and the distinct national character of Norwegian Art Nouveau in terms of technique, range of motifs, format, and choice of materials.
New permanent exhibition Palau Güell: A look at furniture at the Palau Güell in Barcelona
Palau Güell, a look at furniture is a permanent exhibition located in the bedroom floor that is integrated into the tour of the palace. In the rooms of the children Güell, hitherto closed to the public, you can see the original furniture that decorated the palace when the Güell family lived, as well as some modernist furniture owned by the Province of Barcelona (Diputació de Barcelona).
The sample is divided in two areas: "The decoration of Güell" and "The decorators of Modernism," which relate to the two stages of the building: the first, when it was owned by Eusebi Güell and his family, and, second, when it passed into the hands of Barcelona Provincial Council from 1945 and became a center of vindication of Gaudi and Catalan Modernism, while it was collecting furniture of cabinet makers, leading decorators of that time.
Exceptionally the Güell i de Sentmenat family temporarily handed two iconic pieces exhibited, designed by Antonio Gaudi at Palau Güell: the chaise longue Isabel Lopez and one of the original chairs called Cat and Mice. Furthermore, the family has also yielded a terracotta modernist bust, as a tribute to what would be the header architect of the family between 1880 and 1918, made by Carmen M. Malet and Travy.
Exhibition Hans Christiansen - The retrospective in Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt – from 12 October to 1 February 2015
Retrospective on the complete works of the artist colony member of the first hour: With Hans Christiansen (1866-1945) is an as versatile as exemplary Jugendstil artists to rediscover, who found his vocation in Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt.
Hans Christiansen is one of the most important representatives of Jugendstil, especially with his drafts in the field of arts and crafts. In Paris where matured into an artist, he was appointed in 1899 by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig in Darmstadt, where he was among the first seven members of the artists' colony. On the Mathildenhöhe he blossomed and excelled as a genuine work of art enthusiasts in painting, architecture and applied art as well as a designer of lights festivals. For the first time the full range of this versatile artist is presented: The retrospective presents his house on the Mathildenhöhe, room facilities, glass pane, jewellery, posters, paintings, drawings, textile art and ceramics in different spatial ensembles - including previously unknown like his fashion and poster designs from the 1920s.
The major retrospective, the first ever to Hans Christiansen, will be seen in four German institutions. The kick-off will make Mathildenhöhe as the first step, and then will follow the Bröhan Museum in Berlin, the Villa Stuck Museum in Munich and the Museumsberg in Flensburg, where the exhibition tour will end just before the 150th anniversary of the artist in his hometown.

Exhibition "Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec" at the Kunstforum Wien in Vienna – until 25 January 2015
The Path to Modernism
In October 2014 the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien is showing the first comprehensive retrospective of the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec ever held in Austria. The 150th anniversary of this spectacular artist's birth is a fitting occasion for holding this exhibition, in which loans from international collections present Lautrec's multifaceted oeuvre and his extraordinary observational skills in different genres – paintings, works on paper, lithographs and posters.
Besides the illustrious "loud" posters for the pleasure palaces of Montmartre, the foundation of Lautrec's international fame, we can also discover the lesser known Toulouse Lautrec: paintings in muted colors facilitating an intimate form of portraying human psychology, drawings with pen and pencil, ideal for a pithy characterization of the subject. The linking and juxtaposition of different modes of expression, themes and concepts are a reflection of the artist's complex figure on the brink between two centuries. A unique show, which illuminates new aspects of one of the great protagonists at the dawning of Modernism.

Call for public subscription chandelier decorated with seaweed of L. Majorelle for the Ecole de Nancy Museum – from 20 September 2014 to 4 January 2015
A chandelier decorated with seaweed of L. Majorelle, a new work for the Ecole de Nancy Museum
A subscription by the Association of Friends of the Ecole de Nancy Museum (AAMEN)
To mark the 50th anniversary of the museum in 2014, the Association of Friends of the Ecole de Nancy Museum (AAMEN) launched a public subscription for the purchase and restoration of the chandelier decorated with seaweed, ordered to Louis Majorelle in 1904.

It will be thus entrust after the acquisition, to restorers of metal and fire Art. They will carry out cleaning, dusting, realize the missing parts, will review the assembly of the various components as well as electrical installation. This intervention should enable to present it again, functions to the exhibition rooms.
For the acquisition and restoration of this lamp, an amount of € 30,000 would be required for the Friends of the Ecole de Nancy Museum (AAMEN) to complete this operation. To finance this amount, the association appeals to the generosity of everyone, individuals and businesses, in order to buy and restore this work in the framework of the law on patronage. This support to a work of general interest, or patronage, entitles the donors to certain tax advantages. Thus, companies benefit from a tax reduction of 60% of the donation amount, and individuals from a 66% reduction.

Exhibition and Website Mackintosh Architecture at The Hunterian in Glasgow – from 18 July 2014 to 4 January 2015
A fresh look at a familiar icon
Mackintosh Architecture at The Hunterian
The landmark research project into Mackintosh's architecture, which began in 2010, has been led by the University of Glasgow's Hunterian. It presents the first comprehensive evaluation of Mackintosh's architectural career, available on a free access website, www.mackintosh-architecture.gla.ac.uk from 18 July. The richly illustrated site includes a catalogue of Mackintosh's architectural projects and architectural drawings, over 3000 images, 350 biographies, timeline, interactive map, glossary and bibliography.
The site will be launched with the first major exhibition to be devoted to Mackintosh's architectural work. Mackintosh Architecture will present over 80 architectural drawings from The Hunterian and collections across the UK, many never exhibited before, alongside specially commissioned film, models and rarely seen archival material.
Based on the work of the research project, the exhibition challenges the familiar view of Mackintosh as the isolated genius by presenting the wider context of his architectural practice, introducing the contractors, suppliers and clients who supported the delivery of the buildings, and outlining the building process, from initial planning permission to final inspection.
The exhibition is supported by three special displays which showcase Mackintosh's skills as a draughtsman and designer, largely drawn from The Hunterian's unrivalled Mackintosh Collection: Mackintosh Travel Sketches; William Davidson: Art Collector; and C.R. Mackintosh: 'Begonias'

Stir in the curry paste for 1 min, followed by the roasted pumpkin, all but 3 tbsp of the coconut milk and the stock. Bring to a simmer, cook for 5 mins, then fish out the lemongrass. Cool for a few mins, then whizz until smooth with a hand blender, or in a large blender in batches. Return to the pan to heat through, seasoning with salt, pepper, lime juice and sugar, if it needs it. Serve drizzled with the remaining coconut milk and scattered with chilli, if you like.

Comments, questions and tips
This soup is absolutely outstanding. Asian flavors add new tast to the pumpkin. I like pumpkin but pumpkin soup is always pumpkin soup - nothing new in every restorant in many countries. So I cook this soup every month and my family and friends just love it:) it's easy to make. thank you for the receipt!
I have to say I took a double take when I saw 3-4 tablespoons of thai red curry paste - this seemed way too much and it is totally down to which paste you use. I should have done the taste test after just one teaspoon of our Mae Ploy paste as I totally killed this soup with too much curry paste, stupidly following the recipe by the book! Never again - what a waste of an afternoon and some decent ingredients!
Delicious made with butternut squash, which I didn't bother to peel as I'm too lazy. I'm sure the amount of heat depends on the brand of curry paste you use - I used Thai Taste red curry paste from Waitrose, Waitrose low fat coconut milk and lots of fresh lime juice and the soup was just perfect, spicy in a good way.
We loved this - I think the heat depends a lot upon the thai red paste used. I had a Sainsbury's own brand - 3tbsp of that gave a pleasant but by no means overwhelming heat - next time will use 4. A lovely smooth, warming soup, perfect now that the nights are drawing in - thank you BBCGoodFood you've done it again!
