THE FASCINATION BETWEEN China and the West has been well documented. This exhibition traces the history of chinoiserie in Britain and its changing style over the centuries. Chinese Whispers is the first major exhibition in Britain for more than 70 years to highlight the impact of chinoiserie on style, fashion, décor and social behaviour. The exhibition, the culmination of many years of research, includes examples of the earliest Chinese and China Trade objects exported to Britain, as well as the best examples of chinoiserie furniture, ceramics, silver, textiles, as well as rarely seen prints and drawings.
Chinoiserie is exotic, stylish, often outlandish and, above all, fun. It piques the imagination. In a chinoiserie interior in 18th- and 19th-century Britain surfaces were adorned with fantastic mountainous landscapes, pagodas, fabulous birds, mandarins, dragons and phoenixes. This exhibition provides a context for Brighton's magnificent pleasure palace, the Royal Pavilion - the creation of the Prince Regent (from 1810-20) and the future George IV (r. 1820-30). Completed in 1822, its extravagant interiors and imaginative furnishings represent the pre-eminent example of a late flowering of the chinoiserie style.
In the mid-18th century, chinoiserie was seen as a reaction to classicism - and, in the opinion of some critics, a descent into hedonism. The style was particularly suited to light, feminine spaces: wealthy women's bedrooms, dressing rooms and drawing rooms in stately homes were frequently hung with expensive, hand-painted Chinese wallpaper from Canton and furnished with 'oriental' and chinoiserie porcelain. Chippendale suggested that his delicate Chinese, fret-back chairs would be 'very proper for a lady's Dressing Room'. Lacquered surfaces complemented the mysterious translucence of porcelain and provided textures that were considered to be particularly appealing to women. As Chinese lacquer was extremely expensive, 'do-it-yourself' manuals were published and 'japanning' became a popular female accomplishment.
Taking tea (perhaps the major commodity brought back from China) was becoming a fundamental part of polite society and also stimulated the growth of our ceramics industry. Potters endeavoured to discover the secret ingredients for making Chinese porcelain and developed their own forms for teapots, bowls and cups, decorated with imaginative chinoiserie motifs, whilst silversmiths created exquisite pieces such as caddies, pots and epergnes, also decorated in the Chinese style.
Playful 'Chinese' structures, such as pavilions (with upswept roofs, bells and dragon finials), as well as seats and bridges, first appeared as features in the fashionable gardens of private and royal estates. Before long, the 'Chinese style' reached a wider audience in the supper-boxes and walkways of the London pleasure-gardens of Vauxhall and Ranelagh. The outstanding chinoiserie garden building of this period was the dramatic pagoda in Kew Gardens (reopened to the public last year), designed by William Chambers, which became well-known in Europe through the dissemination of engravings.
The 1740s was a particularly vigorous period of trade between China and Britain and resulted in an increase in goods imported. In 1747, 14 ships sailed to Canton from London, a number not equalled until 1764. 'China mania' reached its height in the 1750s. Even playwrights such as Ben Jonson and William Wycherley took up the theme, and David Garrick staged A Chinese Festival. By 1790, the vogue for Chinese style and decoration was in decline. A revival of interest was largely due to the flamboyant character and sophisticated taste of George, Prince of Wales. The Royal Pavilion at Brighton is a 'complete' oriental fantasy inside and out. It represented a major departure in the history of chinoiserie: whereas previous houses had a 'Chinese' room or a 'Chinese' pavilion in the grounds, China is the defining theme of the interiors of this unique building. The opulence and drama of the Music Room and Banqueting Room, in particular, evoke an imagined 'China' of imperial extravagance – something quite different from the whimsical chinoiserie of the mid-Georgian period. As the curator of the exhibition, David Beevers, Keeper of Fine Art at the Royal Pavilion, Libraries and Museums, comments in his essay in the accompanying catalogue: 'Chinoiserie as a term used to describe a European fantasy vision of China and, more broadly, the East, is an expression of relatively recent invention. It first appeared in dictionaries in 1883 when it meant Chinese conduct or, oddly, a 'notion' of China. The Oxford English Dictionary (1971 edition) repeats this but includes Chinese art in the definition. Chinoiserie in the sense art historians use it today may have made an early appearance in France in 1911 in J. Guérin's La Chinoiserie en Europe au XVIIIe Siècle, but it was not commonly used until after 1945. What is certain is that the word was not used in the 17th or 18th centuries. Chinois, however, the French for Chinese, appeared as early as 1625 in Samuel Purchas's Purchas his Pilgrimes; it then occurs quite frequently to mean 'the Chinese'.
The term used at this period for European interpretations and imitations of Chinese and East Asian artefacts was 'Japan work', 'India work', or 'China work'. In an inventory of 1614 drawn up for the Earl of Northampton there are references both to an imported 'China guilt (sic) cabinet' and English articles, for instance a 'China worke table and frame' and a 'field bedstead of China worke'. These clearly refer to European interpretations of Chinese and Japanese lacquer. In 1615, Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, asked his wife to buy a quilt for 'ye bedde of Jappan'. This must have been European and is an early instance of the geographical vagueness associated with everything connected with 'the Indies', a term that encompassed much of Asia and the Americas.'
Literary evocations of China naturally stimulated an interest in the products of the country. Small quantities of Chinese artefacts had entered Europe by the Silk Route through central Asia since Antiquity, but it was not until after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route to the west coast of India via the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 that maritime contact between Europe and Asia was established. Henceforth, Chinese products, notably silk and porcelain, found their way to Europe in some quantity. By the early seventeenth century, the Dutch and English East India Companies were supplying the market for luxury goods from Asia. The first four voyages of the English East India Company between 1601 and 1607 were to Bantam in Java where quantities of porcelain were acquired as 'private trade' by the ship's crew.
Because Chinese porcelain was so unlike anything produced in Europe, it was regarded as a rare substance imbued with magical qualities. It could represent both newness and an ancient civilization. William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520-1598) mounted his Chinese porcelain in silver as did Lettice, Countess of Leicester, whose possessions in 1634 included a 'pursland boule' (porcelain bowl) with 'guilt foote and guilt cover'. Silver settings adapted exotic objects to European taste whilst also masking cracks and blemishes and drawing attention to the importance and rarity of the object. These early porcelains were often displayed in cabinets of curiosity or 'Wunderkammern'.
Imported Chinese commodities led to European imitations and interpretations. An early surviving attempt to emulate oriental lacquer is the ballot box, dated 1619, used by the East India Company and now owned by the Saddler's Company. A consignment of oriental lacquer had arrived in London in 1614. Both Japanese and Chinese lacquer were expensive and thus remained an élite taste. In the 17th and early 18th centuries, incised and polychrome Chinese lacquer was known as 'Bantam ware' in England after the Dutch port on the west coast of Java from which much of it was shipped. The English East India Company established their first factory (a combination of a fort and a warehouse) at Bantam in the early 17th century. In the following century this distinctive lacquer was imported via India's southeast Coromandel coast and thus became known as coromandel ware. In England it was sometimes called 'cutt-work', 'burnt Japan' or 'India work' and was used to panel rooms or was cut up to form cabinets. Imitation and genuine lacquer was known as 'japan' because of the confusion of countries of the East and because much lacquer did come from Japan via the Dutch East India Company.
A century later in the 1920s and 30s, there was a resurgence of interest in chinoiserie decoration that filtered through society: from bespoke 'Chinese' rooms for the wealthy, to cinemas for the masses. Modernist designers embraced Chinese styles, creating interiors dominated by dramatic black and scarlet lacquers, mirrors, lavish use of gold and large Chinese patterns. Fashionable ladies wore wide-sleeved Chinese coats and boasted Chinese hairstyles.
The exhibition runs from 3 May to 2 November at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Royal Pavilion Gardens, Brighton. Catalogue available, edited by David Beeves, ISBN: 978-0948723-71-1 , £20.

- March 2006: Enthusiastic new solar promoter Jose Albano (see Solar Cooking Archive informs, inspires Brazilian promoter, has developed an interesting solar box cooker lid system that creates a double-paned plastic window effect and stops air loss through the lid/cooker joint. Mr. Albano notes that this idea works best in areas near the equator, where the sun is often directly overhead and reflectors are not required. The system can be used with cookers made from various materials, including cardboard and wood. The first step is to build a four-sided lid frame using wooden boards about one-inch thick. Next, tautly attach wires in a crosswise fashion on both sides of the wooden frame, creating a "skeleton" that will serve to separate two layers of plastic sheeting and allow for insulating air space between them. Spread a sheet of transparent plastic across one side of the frame, wrap the ends around to the opposite side of each board, and secure with staples. After food has been placed in the cooker, place the lid on top of the four walls of the cooker with the plastic side down. A larger sheet of transparent plastic is then draped over the lid partway down all four sides of the cooker. This sheet is secured using a rubber tube or similar fastener, preventing air from escaping. [Editor's note: Solar Cookers International recommends polypropylene, polyester or polycarbonate plastic sheeting.]

The History of Solar Cooking in Brazil
Brazil is the giant of the continent, as seen below in the assessment of nations for solar cooking usage. However, little solar cooking activity has, to our knowledge, taken place in the country. The only indication of interest comes from an individual, Arnoldo Moura Bezerra, an instructor at the Universidade Federal of the Paraiba, who designed and demonstrated the use of a parabolic solar cooker to be used in campgrounds. (Solar Cooker Review Nov '02).
[Information for this section was taken originally from State of the Art of Solar Cooking by Dr. Barbara Knudson]
Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations
Solar Cookers International has rated Brazil as the #7 country in the world in terms of solar cooking potential (See: The 25 countries with the most solar cooking potential). The estimated number of people in Brazil with fuel scarcity but ample sun in 2020 is 8,400,000.
In Brazil, huge areas are being transformed into deserts, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul and in the Northeast. By percentages, the state most affected by the desertification is Rio Grande do Norte, with 80.5% of its territory virtually transformed into desert, followed by Pernambuco with 75.2%, Paraiba with 70.3%, Ceara with 59.7%, and Sergipe with 31.3%.
Brazil loses about 300 million dollars annually due to the desertification that takes place principally in the states of the Northeast region and in the north of Minas Gerais. [1] The Brazilian Government's Annual Report, regarding the major flora of the world, shows that the destruction of the Amazon's flora continues in a constant rhythm with the growth inspection around the risk areas. The Brazilian Amazon lost 16,926 km2 from the forests between 1998 and 1999. [2]
But the actions up until that time put into effect by the Department of the Environment contributed to a strong reduction in the areas of the Amazon forest that were cleared, and already saw a fall of 90% in 2009. The reduction of these extensive green areas is responsible for the reduction of rainfall levels, for the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which ultimately causes the greenhouse effect, even turning soil vulnerable to erosion.
The annual demand of firewood per family would be 3.1 kg x 365 days, which is near 1,131.5Kg or approximately 1.2 tons annually.T his reasoning assumes that the mass use of firewood is for food preparation.
According to the UN "one forth part of the Brazilian territory is threatened by the process of accelerated desertification." The introduction and use of solar cookers represents a priceless contribution to reducing desertification, soil erosion, and assuring the survival of the people, animals, and natural resources. [3]

Is upgrading a home worth the expense?
Published 2:07 pm Tuesday, January 28, 2014
By S.E. Slack
Should you upgrade your kitchen or bathroom to snag a higher price when you list your home? While some say that such remodels can add substantial value to your home, others caution homeowners to think critically before spending money in the hopes of earning even more. Upgrading can be worth the expense – sometimes.
The months before placing your home on the market are not the time to go crazy with a bright color you've always liked or a personalized heated towel rack in the bathroom.
Real estate investor and home expert Carla Showalter of Bulk Home Buyers said homeowners should first consider the style and location of their home when upgrading any room. The owner of a traditional colonial home in Kentucky should stick to that architectural style rather than upgrading the kitchen with Venetian Gothic cabinets.
"You don't want to have a contemporary bathroom in a traditional log home, for example," she said. "Upgrades only add value if they enhance the beauty and function of the home."
Don't try upgrading on the cheap, either – buyers notice details. Get cabinets professionally painted instead of grabbing a brush on your own, for instance. And be sure to get proper permits when needed so that potential buyers don't get nervous about the quality and durability of the upgrades.
In the end, the local market will determine how important the updates are. If your home is the only one with an updated kitchen in the neighborhood, that will stand out. If it's the last one to finally update, you're playing catch up and shouldn't expect a huge jump in value.
With spring – and the prime home-selling season – on the way, it's time to get moving if you do plan to make any upgrades. Ask your real estate agent to help you determine the need for upgrades, too. They know which homes yours will be up against and can offer guidance on the types of improvements those homes boast.

Attitude toward police turns to gratitude
As a homicide detective, Julissa Trapp has witnessed many heartbreaking events during her career.
But none prepared her for the disappointment of watching protesters hurl rocks, bottles and accusations of racism at her, her colleagues and the police department during the summer's civil unrest.
Since then, the tone from the community has changed. The dominant sentiment she hears today is gratitude.
"Several citizens have approached me and thanked me for what I do," she said.
Like several current Anaheim officers, Trapp, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, was born and raised in Anaheim, and she recently bought a home in the city. Her first brush with the department came via the Explorer program, which offers young people an opportunity to work with police officers.
The program is designed for high school and college volunteers ages 14 to 21, and many current and past recruits came from some of Anaheim's toughest neighborhoods.
About 33,000 teens participate in Explorers nationally each year, and 25 former Anaheim Explorers are either currently in the Anaheim police academy or are officers. More than 40 others serve as police officers in other cities.
"The program is one of the key examples of community-oriented policing," said Officer Jonathan Nooitgedagt, who runs the current class.
In tight fiscal times, the program also has been a boost to the police budget. Anaheim saves money on personnel at select events, using the youthful volunteers rather than paid staff.
Patrol Sgt. Steve Pena is an example of the program's success.
"I have worked in some of the most violent neighborhoods in Anaheim and have found most residents to be law-abiding with hopes and dreams similar to me," Pena said. "Since the initial protests, I feel the events have brought our community and our department closer together. More residents are speaking out in support of our police department than ever before in my career."
Shawn Price contributed to the report.
Bill Rams (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a former Orange County Register reporter who owns a boutique communications company. Anaheim P.D. is a client.

Australian actress Teresa Palmer has opened up about the "wasted" years she spent obsessing about her body image and being overly controlling about her diet.
Expecting her first child to her fiancé, US actor/director Mark Webber, in February, the Warm Bodies star says her pregnancy has helped her to move past the negative body image issues that formerly ruled her life.
"A few years ago I was exercising so much, and I just wasn't nourishing my body in the right way," Palmer, 27, reveals in WHO magazine's Body Issue, out now. "I used to be incredibly militant about the food that I ate. I looked great on the outside but I wasn't healthy on the inside. To think that three years ago I was in this place where I was so skinny that I couldn't have gotten pregnant if I tried."
While she concedes shifting her thinking and habits was "challenging," Palmer is now reveling in her newfound curves and healthier attitude, happily showing off her burgeoning baby bump in WHO's exclusive images. "I just had my five month scan and I could see my baby moving around," she says. "I felt so proud that my body is growing this healthy human being."
Keep up with Teresa Palmer in the pages of WHO Magazine by subscribing now.
Palmer—who is currently based in Perth filming the thriller Kill Me Three Times opposite Bryan Brown and Callan Mulvey—believes women need to be kinder to themselves when it comes to their bodies. "We need to be celebrating our bodies more," she says. "I want to lead by example and encourage others to let go of that obsessiveness."

Missile Defense: Mission Unaccomplished
When will Bush stop throwing billions at a failing project?
Back in the early 1980s, after some scandals involving major weapons systems that were deployed before they'd been adequately tested, the Pentagon adopted a policy of "fly before buy." No system would graduate from research and development to procurement until it had passed a series of tests—not just "development tests," in which a weapon demonstrates certain technical milestones, but "operational tests," in which the weapon demonstrates it can do what it's supposed to do in an environment simulating combat.
The interceptors at Fort Greely haven't passed development tests, much less operational tests. Yet they're being hoisted into their silos as we speak—10 in the coming weeks, 10 more scheduled for next year.
According to Graham's Post story, the Pentagon's testing officials estimate in an internal briefing that the interceptors now being deployed would have only a 20 percent chance of shooting down a nuclear missile. An official familiar with the briefing told me that the 20 percent estimate was "on the high side" of a range of probabilities. (The MDA calculated that each interceptor would have an 80 percent chance of hitting its target, but few outside its headquarters seem to take that estimate seriously.)
It's worth noting that these interceptors are among the simplest elements of the missile-defense plan. The full system is envisioned to entail three defensive layers. There is a "boost-phase intercept"—satellite-based weapons, orbiting over suspected nuclear sites, that would shoot down enemy missiles minutes or seconds after they're launched, preferably while they're still ascending in the atmosphere. Then there is the "midcourse intercept"—missiles or lasers on airplanes and ships, as well as in silos on the ground, that would shoot down the missiles as they arc through their trajectory in outer space. (The Fort Greeley interceptors are designed for midcourse intercept.) Finally, there is the "terminal intercept"—missiles, mainly modified versions of Patriot air-defense missiles, that would shoot down the attacker's nuclear warheads as they plunge to their targets in the United States.
For the moment, the more exotic weapons in this scheme are years away from being developed, much less built. The un-modified Patriots, as we saw in last year's war in Iraq, still have trouble distinguishing missiles from airplanes (and have never successfully tracked multiple missiles simultaneously). Finally, all of these elements would have to be linked in an automatic data-processing network more complex than any such network ever constructed. The network would link a) the early warning radar that detects the launching of missiles to b) the release codes that fire the first layer of missile-defense weapons to c) the sensors that guide those weapons to the target to d) the sensors that detect whether the target was hit to e) the release codes that fire the next layer of missile-defense weapons … and on it goes, all the way to the final layer. The entire network would have to operate automatically (there would be no time for human control), and it would have to work without ever having been truly completely tested. Commercial software systems, such as Windows, go through several debugging cycles even after they've been released to the marketplace, i.e., after the engineers back at Microsoft think they've fixed all the problems. This is a normal process; everyone expects it. With the software system for missile defense, there would be no chance for debugging. It has to work the first time out.
According to some officials, the engineers working in the bowels of the missile-defense program know this. They are proceeding as if it were a normal research and development project. They know that, at this stage, technically, that's all it can be. The thing is, President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld see it as a fast-track procurement program ready for—and undergoing—deployment. The president has now heard, from Gen. Cartwright, that this expectation is unreal. This may be why Bush has refrained from proclaiming another "mission accomplished." The question now is whether he'll take the next step and realize that, given the program's true status, there's no point lavishing it with so many billions of dollars, especially when "homeland defense" against more real and urgent threats are barely getting millions.

Brown forming Youth Link Committee to give young residents a venue to share thoughts
New Councilman Tim Brown has pushed his first official business through Canyon Lake's City Council: the establishment of a Youth Link Committee aimed at getting kids involved in local government.
The committee — which will include two council members — will give young people a chance to share ideas and concerns, as well as an opportunity for elected officials to seek out ideas from young people and provide kids a forum to participate in local policy setting.
"I want it to be their committee," Brown said. "I want the kids to set the agenda."
Brown, who will chair the committee, said he hoped a regular time for meetings would precede monthly City Council meetings in order to give the youths an opportunity to view the business on agendas. A date and venue for the committee has yet to be determined.
The Council unanimously approved the formation of the committee with a 4-0 vote at its Jan. 9 meeting. Councilwoman Nancy Horton was absent because she had scheduled a vacation long before the meeting was pushed back a week from Jan. 2.
Councilman Jordan Ehrenkranz was the first in line to join Brown on the committee.
"I think it's a great idea," he said.

Many Chinese firms including State Owned Enterprises (SoE) have been considering to invest in Europe as the latter eyes $560 billion of Chinese FDIs in 5 years.
Unfortunately regulatory barriers have been a huge turn off
From Reuters:
But getting your head around European laws and visa restrictions, as well as the fear that tough economic times could spark more political instability, make Europe hard to navigate for Chinese firms.In fact the surveyed firms perceive Africa and the Middle East as having a more favourable business environment than the EU.Chinese firms find EU law particularly troublesome because there is no unified inbound investment approval process and some member states have their own security reviews…Six in 10 of the firms surveyed were SOEs and the most popular EU country for Chinese investment was Germany, with France a distant second.Chinese firms asked for more support with the operational issues they face from policymakers in Europe and back home.
Regulatory obstacles can also signify as forms of disguised protectionism via technical barriers to trade as product or safety standards as well as people protectionism which limits flow of people.
The European crisis will hardly be resolved until real reforms to promote a business friendly environment or by the liberalization of the economy.
Also the above also reflects on the Africa's 'globalization' boom story which has been attracting lots of Chinese investments. Chinese FDI reportedly zoomed to $14.7 billion in 2012 up by 60% from 2009 (ChinaUSfocus.com)

About two-thirds the way through online Morning Meditation, I heard what sounded like a gun shot and then complete power failure. A sudden and irrevocable intrusion of reality into the moment. I apologize to those of you in the classroom for my sudden disappearance. I felt "powerless" to do anything about it since we were connected through the Internet and with no power to run the computer or the modem there was no way to connect. Such intrusions of "reality" pierce the bubble of illusion that we live in most of the time.
The power failure was caused by a squirrel getting into trouble on the power pole. His execution caused the power outage. This has never happened before in twelve years living in this place.
On the way back from my morning vigil trail run with my dog Ruki I noticed a black-capped chickadee adhered to a burdock bush. As I feared, it was dead. It's tiny precious life captured by that prickly fate for no particular reason.
20 Million people have been affected by the floods in Pakistan.
Somewhere, every moment contains these unexpected and unfortunate events. They can serve to awaken us to the preciousness of life. Yesterday, on the Writer's Almanac Garrison Keillor read a quote from Bill Clinton whose father had died in car accident before he was born. Clinton said:
My father left me with the feeling that I had to live for two people, and that if I did it well enough, somehow I could make up for the life he should have had. And his memory infused me, at a younger age than most, with a sense of my own mortality. The knowledge that I, too, could die young drove me both to try to drain the most out of every moment of life and to get on with the next big challenge.
So, as we move through the day today we can notice the cycles of life around us. The sunflower that is starting to decay yet still sings to towards the sky. We can try to be awake so that when unexpected things happen we can use these events to awaken to the fragility of life around us and the gift it is to be alive and breathing.

Borders Rewards Perks worth exploring
I recently got an invitation to join Borders Rewards Perks, open to any one who is a member of Borders. No membership fee for either club.
I found discounts on South Florida restaurants through Restaurant.com, 15 percent off Bluefly apparel, discount movie tickets, and 25 percent off patio furniture at Home Depot. Some good deals; some not so much. Forty percent off of Nordstrom's, for example, is still often $100-plus pricetag.
But worth checking out. Sign up at any local Borders store. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Get pampered, and your hair cut too at Hues
By: Lauren Gibbs, The Placer Herald
At Hues Hair and Skin Salon, it's about more than leaving with just-cut and styled locks, it's also about customer service. Clients entering the Rocklin salon are not only greeted with a friendly hello, but also offered something to drink. Their beverages include more than 20 types of tea, said owner and master stylist Julie Pearson. The hair wash stations offer clients the option for a chair massage while their hair is being washed. Pearson said the small details really pamper her customers. "Going to the salon is a treat for people," she said. That's why she also bans all stylist phone calls on the floor and also calls clients with a quick reminder about their upcoming appointments. What also keeps people coming back to Hues is their devotion to education. "I'm big on education," Pearson said. "We give a lot of continued education. I'm still learning." Pearson has been a stylist for 30 years and opened Hues eight years ago. With 11 stations and about six stylists, Pearson keeps her employees well trained, paying for workshops and continuing their education. She also believes in hands-on training. "Beauty school basically teaches you how to pass the state board," Pearson said. "I believe in sharing knowledge, not watching people fail. Two heads are better than one." Customer Teresa Maher said she appreciates the professionalism and friendliness of Hues staff, as well as Pearson. "She truly listens to what I want, but always gives me ideas that I had not considered," said Maher, who has been going to Hues salon for about five years. Maher said it's also convenient to shop for skin and hair products at Hues. The salon sells product brands including Bumble and Bumble and KMS California hair care products and Jan Marini and Jane Iredale skincare products. Hues also offers more than just a hair cut and color — facials, waxing treatments, makeup application and products, massages and private parties are also offered. Three lucky mothers will also be pampered with Hues services for the salon's Mother's Day giveaway. People can nominate a deserving mom in an essay, 500 words or less, and drop it off at the shop before Mother's Day, which is May 10. The three prizes include a day of beauty with a facial, haircut and color and makeup application; another woman will receive a massage and another will receive a haircut and blowout. The Mother's Day event is one example of how Pearson reaches out to the community of Rocklin. Approximately $6,000 was raised in one day to help a former Hues employee's fight against stage-four cancer a few years ago. Pearson's employee fought for two years before she lost the battle. Another client of Pearson's was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease a few years ago. She's been a long-time client who comes into the salon every few months and gets her hair done free of charge, Pearson said. Pearson said it's just one example of how she's been able to help those in need. "I believe in giving back," she said. "It's fun to make people's day like that." Hues Hair and Skin Salon Mother's Day giveaway — Nominate a deserving mom for a Hues makeover; drop off a 500-word or less essay on why she deserves it; essays will be accepted until Mother's Day Where: 6015 Fairway Drive, Rocklin Contact: (916) 624-6404 Website: www.hues hairandskinsalon.com

Redefining what's possible.
School of Social Work BASW students Ashley Alday, Kainen Bell and David Inglish, and MSW/MPH graduate student Tiffany Woelfel, were selected to be part of the first cohort in an inaugural program called the Husky 100. This new student recognition program acknowledges 100 undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines from the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses who exemplify leadership, passion, creativity and commitment.
Awardees will be recognized at an event May 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the HUB Ballroom. As a Husky 100, they will receive several benefits, including networking opportunities, invitations to exclusive events, customized career counseling and interaction with UW alumni. A complete look at the 2016 Husky 100 can be viewed here.
As a social work major and first-generation college student, Ashley Alday (BASW '16) acknowledged the importance of the service opportunities available to UW students. "When I first stepped onto campus, I was a lone freshman trying to figure out where I belonged," she said. "My development as a leader started when I became involved with different communities, on and off campus." Ashley will continue her social work education this summer as an MSW Advanced Standing Program student.
Kainen Bell (BASW '16) is a board member of the Associated Students of UW, student ambassador for the Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity, and a mentor for Young Executives of Color. As a social welfare and business administration major in his senior year, Bell has completed internships at Boeing and KPMG and also studied abroad in Brazil and Germany. "My experiences studying abroad made me realize I'm capable of doing what I set my mind to and inspired me to apply for a Fulbright grant. "
David Inglish (BASW '16), a former foster child, is turning his personal experiences into a professional career focused on mentoring and empowering other foster youth. Inglish believes his UW education helped him become more engaged. "I am so grateful to be in this environment where I have made strong friends and connections," he said, "and to have an opportunity to be constantly challenged to do and be more."
The fourth Husky 100 representing the School of Social Work is Tiffany Woelfel (MSW '15, MPH '16) who is working on a dual master's degree in social work and public health. Woelfel has 14 years' experience in health research with an emphasis on addiction, trauma and social media ethics. "Becoming a Husky 100 will connect me with other recipients to start a lifelong community," she said. "The UW has shaped my life in so many ways. I'm wrapping up my fourth degree here. It's my home and always will be."
Applications for the Husky 100 were judged by a committee of students and faculty in five categories, including having a discovery mindset, committed to be part of an inclusive community and capacity for leadership.
The Great Recession devastated millions of Americans financially—but what impacts did that economic stress have on their physical and mental well-being? Gillian Marshall, an assistant professor of social work at the UW Tacoma, wants to answer that question.
Marshall was awarded a five-year, $654,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the link between financial hardship and health. She is the first faculty member at UW Tacoma to receive an NIH Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award. Marshall recently sat down for an interview with UW Today to answer a few questions about her project.
The Innovative Programs Research Group, an organization in the UW School of Social Work, is recruiting people 18 and older for a free marijuana and tobacco treatment trial. The study is aimed at adults who are regularly using both substances, want to quit marijuana and are willing to consider kicking the tobacco habit as well.
This group tends to struggle when it comes to quitting marijuana. Rates of tobacco use are high among regular cannabis users — between 40 and 90 percent, depending on the study and the population — and people who seek treatment for marijuana use who are also smokers tend to have poorer outcomes and higher relapse rates, principal investigator Denise Walker said
James Her (MSW '16) is one of 15 UW students awarded a 2016 Bonderman travel fellowship, worth $20,000. The goal of this sought-after fellowship is to expose students to the intrinsic, often life-changing, benefits of international travel. The grant allows UW students to embark for regions around the world on solo journeys that last for at least eight months.
Says Her, who plans to start his global trek in late August. "I am looking forward to stepping outside of my comfort zone and living in the present moment while exploring Costa Rica, Peru, Morocco, Tonga, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and China." His goal is to immerse himself in non-Western countries so that he can experience firsthand how people live without the latest technologies and other luxuries so often take for granted in the U.S.
Her credits his social work education with becoming a stronger, more resilient person and addressing his own deeply personal issues. "The most surprising thing I learned about myself while at the UW is how badly I needed to address and begin processing the internalized oppression that I have been struggling with for a long time. The social work program gave me the opportunity to reflect a lot on myself and my experiences, and to recognize how I can have a positive impact on society." Once Her completes his worldwide travels, he hopes to serve marginalized groups and minority communities. [Photo credit: IWRI]
About The Bonderman Travel Fellowships: David Bonderman, who earned his undergraduate degree in Russian in 1963 from the University of Washington, created the fellowship program. After graduating from Harvard Law School, he received a Sheldon Fellowship that allowed him to travel internationally, an experience that had a profound impact on his life. The Bonderman Travel Fellowships support UW students in having a similarly transformative experience. The UW Graduate School and the University Honors Program administer the program.
It wasn't the hardest phone call I've ever made, but it was certainly awkward. I was cold-calling the National Rifle Association. Because the NRA is well-known for offering gun safety training, I wanted to know whether the organization had ideas on how to reduce the number of firearm suicides. Half of all suicides in the United States are by firearm, and roughly two-thirds of all firearm deaths are suicides. Given the NRA's opposition to virtually all gun regulation, I knew this was a touchy area.
A far harder call was the one I received from a Seattle police officer a few years earlier. The officer told me that my husband had ended his struggle with anxiety and depression with a single bullet. Suddenly, I was a 38-year-old widow and a single parent of two young children. I was left wondering how this had happened and whether it could have been prevented. I was deeply angry at myself, at my husband, at a treatment system that failed him and at a society that made it easy to buy a pistol. I wasn't the best person to try to start a conversation with the NRA. No wonder it took me a few years to make the call.
Women who were overweight as adolescents are more likely than others to have symptoms of depression at age 65, especially if they were raised in low-income families, according to a new study.
The same wasn't true for men, however.
"The most surprising result may be the difference in the relationship between adolescent overweight and later life depressive symptoms by gender," said lead author Melissa L. Martinson of the University of Washington in Seattle.
The researchers used data from 10,000 people who graduated from high school in Wisconsin in 1957. Study participants answered 20-question surveys the year they graduated and again in 1964, 1975, 1993 and 2004, when they were about 65 years old.
At 28 years old, the cost of long-term health care was something that had never crossed my mind. It wasn't until my mother was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that I began to understand the importance and high price of long-term care.
Facing a frightening diagnosis, my mother strove to hold on to the things in her life she could still control. Staying in her home and remaining as independent as possible were very important to her. At the time of her diagnosis, I was living across the country, but I was able to take time away from work to move back to Connecticut and help her accomplish that goal.
When her illness progressed to the point where she could not care for herself, she was able to afford a live-in nurse who attended to her medical and personal long-term-care needs. If she had been faced with this diagnosis later in life, she would not have been able to afford that luxury.
fter her husband ended his life with a bullet in 2011, Jennifer Stuber went to the two Washington stores where he had bought guns to talk with the owners about suicide prevention.
That bold move by Stuber, an associate professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work, eventually led to the passage of a bill signed into state law March 31 by Gov. Jay Inslee. The bill brings together two unlikely partners — the firearms industry and suicide prevention advocates — with pharmacists in an effort to curb suicide deaths.
The legislation was drafted in consultation with the National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation, a Washington gun rights group. Alan Gottlieb, the foundation's executive director, said gun owners and retailers, some of whom have lost loved ones to suicide, have long been concerned about the issue but unsure how to address it.
"None of us know what to look for in warning signs that someone might be in the process of a suicide attempt," he said. "This legislation is going to be good for our people, because this is information that they need."
Stuber said the legislation succeeded largely because it involved the firearms industry from the start.
The School of Social Work's master degree program ranked No. 3 in the nation, according to the 2017 Best Graduate Schools report released March 16 by U.S. News & World Report. The School received a No. 3 ranking in 2012 as well, the last year that graduate schools of social work were ranked.
"We are thrilled to see that we are once again ranked one of the top schools in this prestigious national survey," says School of Social Work Dean Edwina Uehara. "This recognition from more than 200 peer institutions reflects the high level of social innovation and impact that our faculty, students and alumni achieve every day through research breakthroughs, classroom engagement and community partnerships."
To determine the current rankings, U.S. News surveyed 206 social work schools and programs. Out of a top score of 5.0, the School received a score of 4.3. The rankings are based solely on peer assessments conducted by surveys sent to deans, program directors, department chairs and faculty members at accredited social work degree programs nationwide.
Respondents were asked to rate the academic quality of each school's program on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). Only fully accredited programs in good standing are ranked. The current rankings were based on surveys conducted in fall 2015 by the research firm, Ipsos Public Affairs. The response rate among schools of social work was 51 percent.
This year, the School was in a three-way tie for the No. 3 spot, along with the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Chicago. In the 2012 rankings, the School tied for the third spot with the University of Chicago. The top-ranking school of social work, according to the report, was the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, followed by Washington University in St. Louis.
The UW health sciences schools, which include medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health and social work, consistently rank in the top 10 among peer institutions across the country. Read more about the rankings of UW health sciences schools here. (U.S. News & World Report does not rank schools of dentistry.)
In Washington state, nearly 80 percent of gun deaths are suicides. After losing her husband to suicide in 2011, UW School of Social Work Associate ProfessorJennifer Stuber started wondering how that statistic could be changed. Her husband, a 40-year-old attorney battling anxiety and depression, had shot himself with a gun he'd recently purchased. Stuber made a cold call to the National Rifle Association.
It was the beginning of an alliance between suicide prevention groups and gun advocates. They worked together to craft Washington's Suicide Awareness and Prevention Education for Safer Homes Act. The bill develops suicide prevention training for gun dealers and owners of shooting ranges. It would add suicide prevention messages to hunter safety courses, promote education about safe firearm storage, and also uses pharmacists to talk to customers about safe storage of prescription drugs.

Pregnant girlfriend says she is no longer in love with me.
My girlfriend and I have an unplanned pregnancy, as soon as she found out she stopped taking her anti depressents zoloft and welbutrin (cold turkey). About 2 months later, no fights, no anything she tells me she is no longer in love with me. She no longer will hug or kiss me, or even tell me that she loves me we rarely even talk. This has been going on for over two weeks with each day seemingly worse and worse. I fear that after the holidays she is going to ask me to leave. She gets mad at me for everything, I asks her why and she tells me she is unhappy and taking it out on me, she doesnt even know why I stay. I asked if she was doing this so I would leave and she said "no if i wanted you to leave I would tell you to leave" I also notice she has been contacting a guy that she talked to before her and I got together...I went through her phone and the texts were harmless but frequent. I'm at wits end...I feel that this relationship is soon over and its NOT what I want.

What I Will (And Won't) Miss About South Korea
I've just left South Korea after over a year there, which is the longest time I've ever spent abroad. It was an experience full of adjectives – exhilarating, confusing, educational, frustrating, amazing – and never boring.
I've been thinking a lot about the bittersweetness of my departure, and of all the things I will and won't miss about living in South Korea. Below, I present my completely random and unordered list.
If you've lived or traveled there before, you will probably appreciate this list, and if you haven't, then stick around, you'll probably learn something!
What I Will Miss: (other than the friends I've made, obvs)
- Kimbap, bibimbap, mondu, galbi, and a few other Korean foods.
- The plethora of food samples at the grocery store. You can seriously get an entire meal from samples offered by ladies in HILAR outfits.
- Not understanding background noise and other inane convos. Having a cell-phone argument with your bf in the seat right next to me? Don't understand, don't care.
- Being a teacher. You get mad respect, and going back to lowly backpacker status somehow isn't quite as appealing!
- Easy Asian travel. While I was in Korea, I got to travel to Mongolia, Japan, and the Philippines… sans jetlag!
- Cheap taxis. Oh so cheap. Though talk about making me lazy!
- Everything and every person in my size. I'm 5'1. That's not normal in the USA.
- My students. Their smiles, laughs, jokes, and love for all things Angry Birds.
- Bars staying open until 4 am. Well, actually, maybe that's a good thing.
- Having a washing machine in my apartment. I haven't had one since I moved out of my parents' place. Despite the lack of a dryer, an in-apartment washing machine was ohsogreat.
- Never having to be scared that someone is going to kill/rob/attack you. Korea's SAFE.
- Not paying rent and FIVE weeks of paid vacation. Prior to this experience, I thought paid vacation was some type of myth that adults tell you about to convince you to get real jobs.
- Cheap haircuts. $10 for a 2-hour wash, cut, blow-dry, straighten? Yes, please.
- Not tipping. I worked as a server for a long time, so trust me, I tip 20%, BUT it is really nice not having to.
- The efficiency of the post office, bank, life. If Koreans are one thing, they're efficient.
- The ability to download movies in less than 10 minutes. Hello, fastest internet in the world!
- Unlimited side dishes at restaurants. Fo' free.
- Jeju Island – the beautiful volcanic island where I've been living. The ocean, the mountain, and beach volleyball!
- Being able to do things just because I'm a foreigner. Nobody ever thinks anything you're doing is weird. They just see you're a foreigner and then give you pretty much free rein.
- Not being the worst driver on the road. In the States, I usually am. In Korea, I am normal!
- Jimjilbangs – nakey Korean spas/saunas that are heavenly in the winter time.
- Eating Mickey-D's and Pizza Hut and chalking it up to homesickness.
What I Won't Miss:
- People running into me at every turn. While walking. Every. Turn.
- People chewing with their mouth open. This needs no explanation. It's completely common and acceptable in Korea, and it's just gross.
- Lack of quality beer. I never thought I would say this. I am not a beer person, by any means. I have drank my fair share of Keystone Light, if that tells you anything. But Korean beer is almost undrinkably bad.
- The inability to communicate. This is not Koreans' fault, but mine. I didn't learn Korean as well as I should have, which made everyday life sometimes extraordinarily difficult. I've always been able to speak the language when I've lived abroad before, and this was definitely a lot harder!
- The lack of desserts and breakfast. (Biscuits and gravy! Ben & Jerry's!)
- Movie theatres with the only English options being terrible action flicks.
- Getting up at 2 am to watch Michigan football games. It makes for a very strange weekend sleep schedule.
- The complete dearth of good live music. This has nothing to do with Korea, and eveything to do with the fact that I lived on a tiny island. Seoul gets some decent concerts. Jeju, notsomuch.
- Hurry hurry culture. One of the first words I learned in Korean was "bali," which means "hurry." The Korean ethos is focused on this concept, and I am excited to relax a little bit.
- The homogeneity. Granted, I grew up in a SMALL town, but even that was diverse compared to Korea. They don't even drive different colored cars here! And don't get me started on the food. Ahhh, Mexican, Thai, Indian, Japanese, BBQ, here I come!
- No dryer. It is going to be so exciting to be able to wash my clothes and then have them the same day!
- Waiting for hot water. Turning on a faucet and immediately getting hot water is an under-appreciated luxury.
- Spitting in public. Another one of those things that is okay there and shouldn't be.
- The grocery store. I am stoked to be able to navigate a grocery store without a GPS. And for one without entire aisles devoted to seaweed.
- Scheduling calls with my friends. I'll be only a few hours behind or ahead of most of my peeps. Just being able to send a text or give a spur-of-the-moment call will be fabulous.
- Driving. See hurry hurry culture, above.
- The way that pets are treated, especially dogs. Eating dogs is part of the culture, I accept that. But if you have a dog as a pet, treat it like one!
- Kimchi. Everybody thinks I don't like kimchi because it's too spicy. Nope, not too spicy. Just gross.
- Sharing food. I love the concept behind sharing food. It is warm and fuzzy. BUT, there are some times when you just want to eat what you ordered and not share it with the whole table. Enter, USA.
Phew, I think that's it. Despite our occasional differences, I will always hold a great respect for Korea and its hardworking people.
I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work and live there and thank everybody for putting up with my awkward bows and grimacingly awful Korean. 감사합니다! (Kamsahamnida ~ Thank you!)
Does any of this surprise you? Anything that you didn't know about South Korea, or that you would disagree with me on? Let me know in the comments!
Never been to South Korea, so that was really interesting. I could totally relate on being able to do things just because you're a foreigner. This has kind of dimished since I've been in Texas now for… gasp… seven years, but there are still plenty of little customs I just don't know and luckily people cut me some slack 🙂
That's one of the things I love about the United States. You don't have to leave to experience completely different cultures.. like Texas!
Well, I'm from Germany, so I'm actually quite far from home 🙂 But you're right of course. It's fun to see how things change from state to state here.
You are quite far from home! I'm sure Texas takes a lot of getting used to coming from Germany… kudos!
You know, it's weird. At first it seems very, very similar and then you realize that the same things don't really mean the same thing 🙂
Texas really is like another country. We are american and have been in TX for 6 yrs. we are still figuring it out. :).
I have heard that adjusting to all of the background noises, that you suddenly understand again, is difficult. What an interesting list
I can relate to pretty much all of these points! I hope that once I leave Korea I never hear the words 'bali wa' again.
I've been in Gangwon-do for 18 months. While the experience has been worth it (hello, 7 weeks' vacation), I'm ready to move on. Good luck on your next adventure!
Ahhhhh… I had forgotten about the whiny "bali waaaa" until you just mentioned it. Haha, now it will be playing in my head for the day. Gangwon-do was my second choice – I'm glad you've enjoyed your time up there!
Oh so jealous about Mongolia, it is on my bucket list.
It was AMAZING.
Thanks for sharing! Did you teach there through any specific program?
Hi Susan! I just came across your blog and I'm so glad I did, seems like we have a lot in common. I'm headed to Korea next month to start teaching, so it was cool to hear more about what to expect. Strangely, I think what I'll miss most is a dryer! I think the smell of fresh dried clothes is better than crack (not that I do crack or anything, but ya know, hypothetically…). I'm really into the idea of living a life of seasonal jobs for a while, too; I want to live on a sailboat in the Caribbean, do some WOOFing in New Zealand, work at a brewery in Germany… all kinds of good stuff. That lifestyle is really underrated, it seems. Anyway, looking forward to following more of your adventures, cheers! 🙂

one of my long term goal is to spend a month or so in korea…to enjoy their food and culture overall…thanks for the info
GREAT post. You covered all the bases here. I was saying "Yes!" in my head to everything I was reading… Except, I actually like kimchi and never witnessed anyone eat dog.

Enjoyed reading about your experience in South Korea – I love it there and hope to be able to spend an extended amount of time there soon. I'm a Korean-American, and have been there to visit several times. BTW, eating dog is not really a part of the korean culture – it's a common misconception and most Koreans would never dream of doing that. Jeju-do is beautiful, and it's good that you can have dol-sot bibimbap in the States too. What would be a good way to find a way to teach English in Korea?
CJ, How was your experience being Korean-American?
I was laughing at loud at some of these things. You painted a perfect picture of everything I remember about my last journey to South Korea (well except for when I accidentally ate pig intestines from a street vendor!! haha). Thank you for this list.
I loved reading this post! My husband and I have been living in Korea for 10 months and SO much of this rings true.
The only thing I would change…the dog thing. In my experience Koreans care TOO much about their dogs. Eating dogs is just limited to one very specific type of dog and is only done is certain areas. However, babying dogs is done EVERYWHERE. I see dogs dressed up in crazy outfits and it is very common here to get your dog's fur dyed so they have hot pink tails or blue mohawks. Much too much time and energy spent on an animal, if you ask me. But everything else you wrote I totally agree with!! Thanks for the post!
Hello from HTown, Susan! We met you when you worked in Maxwell's back in the day, where we introduced you to our Scottish godson, visiting from Edinburgh. Had dinner with Frank and Sally last night, and they told us about your blog. I spent a hunk of my life in Korea—first with the Air Force in Osan (one year), and later with the embassy in Seoul (five years!). Got a lot of language training before the embassy assignment (even served as interpreter in White House!), which made my time there so much more meaningful! Anyway, wanted to say howdy, and Sue and I wish you continued success as you pursue a memorably exciting life around the world!
Unfortunately, I've never been to Asia. I'm interested in South Korea because I published a few articles at Oh My News with remarkable success in reads. Also, a former student has taught in South Korea since graduating from Texas College, an HBCU. I taught Developmental English there, and saw Reggie visit with the upper-division profs. Now we're Facebook friends. Unlike you, I like kim chee and just bought a jar for the first time in ages–got some Sriracha hot sauce and Wasabi horseradish too. I'm glad South Korea still has Confucianism in colleges.
"People running into me at every turn. While walking. Every. Turn."
I can definitely second that. When I went back to Korea after more than 5 years of being in the U.S., I was stunned. I paused and said, "REALLY?…YOU CAN GO AROUND ME…mother & child." haha.
This is a fascinating list. I say fascinating because I'm an American living abroad (not in Asia but in Europe), and I had fun reading this list and 1) learning some new things about South Korea & 2) finding some things that I agree with living over here in Germany as well! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this! I am trying very hard to learn all about how to teach there in South Korea. It is my dream to learn most of the language and to go there to teach. By any chance, can you give me some advice on that? It's also nice knowing what you liked and didn't like, so that way I can be somewhat prepared if I ever get to go. 🙂
I actually JUST tried Kimchi a couple of days ago and I really liked it a lot. Cabbage is one of my favorite things to it, so I think I might be lucky and like the food if I go there.
heyy I LOVED your blog and well i am a person who is confused and rather puzzled i would say as i REALLY love korea and want to either Move or Visit it every year…but im not a white person so i was wondering how would life be for a person like me in korea?..(also im planning on learning to speak atleasy 70% fluent korean so would that help me out?) THANKS
