Higashi for the Anthropocene and seasonal higashi, in collaboration with Kagizen Yoshifusa (Kyoto) and Wagashi Asobi (Tokyo), smudge studio 2014
The project had humble beginnings. Our primary intention was to invite a small group of hybrid artist/practitioner colleagues into an experimental context. They would be colleagues whose work we respected for how it addressed the challenges of the Anthropocene (ranging from work on the proliferation of plastic to extinction of species, climate chaos, the "thing" power of food, what it means to find one's life work in the Anthropocene, imagining deep time, etc.).
Instead of talking about our work, sharing our latest projects, or assembling together for the purpose of creating "change," we would simply pause together. For an hour and a half we would offer our guests traditional Japanese matcha tea and sweets (higashi) in simple acknowledgment of, and gratitude towards, the fortitude they show by turning their lives and work toward instead of away from the complexities of planetary realities in the Anthropocene.
We chose higashi as our medium for this event because they are a tiny, dry confectionary that are materially sturdy enough to travel the nearly 7,000 miles from Kyoto, Japan. For centuries, Japanese sweets such as higashi have accompanied matcha tea at traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The offering and eating of the sweets inaugurates a point of pause and contemplation, and enacts generosity and gratitude shared among guests.
Notably, Japanese craftsmen have refined the designs of traditional higashi over hundreds of years to translate daily experiences of seasonal variation into edible forms. The designs of the sweets (autumn leaves, spring cherry blossoms, grains of rice) invite guests to psychologically be with and move with seasonal change as it unfolds.
However, the sweets we would offer in our project would not be traditional higashi.
Higashi for the Anthropocene would be designed to suggest that the daily seasonal variations we are now experiencing in the Anthropocene constitute a "fifth season." This fifth season is marked by strange weather whose unseasonable events increasingly cut through, interrupt, and scramble the familiar weather events of the "traditional" four seasons. Higashi for the Anthropocene would invite traditional tea sweets to intentionally turn, like us, towards the Anthropocene. They would be designed to serve as apertures onto the Anthropocene. We would use aspects of their color, form, and symbols to center our focus on the material and climate realities of the Anthropocene. But at the same time, we would use higashi's association with the hospitality, calmness, sweetness, and pleasures of the Japanese tea ceremony to turn us away from the all too readily available narratives about the Anthropocene. The event would be designed to offer something other than steeping ourselves in the currently hyper-mediated sentiments such as despair, guilt, or heroism.
To materialize these intentions in the form of higashi for the Anthropocene, we asked Kagizen Yoshifusa, a 300-year old confectionary shop in Kyōto, and Wagashi Asobi (Tokyo) to collaborate with us. Together, we would use the medium of higashi to reimagine traditional seasonal designs and make them capable of acknowledging the now emerging, unseasonable fifth season.
We invited a special venue to support the gathering: Kajitsu restaurant. Kajitsu specializes in shojin-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian meals). It serves New York City as much as a cultural institution as it does a restaurant. Their seasonally attuned menus change monthly, and their special events celebrate centuries-old Japanese crafts and holidays which are often inspired by the seasons.
As smudge studio, we sensed an urgency to invent new ways to inhabit the Anthropocene in our daily lives. We wanted to see if Higashi for the Anthropocene might prove to be an event that we could draw upon for inspiration and resiliency in coming months. We suspect it might be the first of many practices we will invent in the near future — practices we design to help us (and maybe others) "hold the thought" of the Anthropocene as our contemporary condition, but do so without exhausting or depleting us.
Today, post-event, we believe that the project was a "success" in those ways. We saw in our guests a palpable affirmation of the necessity of the project's gestures, and we sensed sincere appreciation of attempts to find ways to live within emerging material realities, and in new ways.
We are grateful for our guests' responsiveness and willingness to meet us in this experimental space; to momentarily re-direct their time towards the explorations we made together through Higashi for the Anthropocene; and to meet us — even on a Saturday afternoon — once again, within the Anthropocene.

For our guests, the story of how the ideas and intentions for this project ultimately took the material form of sugary sweets and were delivered to us in New York further qualified the candies as higashi of and for the Anthropocene. Silently embedded within the bodies of the higashi themselves, and now within the guests who consumed them, are tales and journeys that also bespeak the Anthropocene. It took eleven weeks to bring Higashi for the Anthropocene into the world. Some aspects of their journey could be anticipated (such as the comedy and tragedy of Brooklyn international delivery). Others, not.
When you look at Higashi for the Anthropocene, it's easy to notice that they appear a little rough-hewn. They co-exist awkwardly alongside traditional higashi whose forms and executions have been perfected over centuries. But the candies/sculptures/objects in/of the Anthropocene were born of limits — limits of language, time, Anthropocene weather, international logistics and sugar itself. A 14-hour time difference between New York and Kyoto ensured that all email communication for the project took place at times felt to be too early or too late in the day for messages to be meaningfully composed or absorbed. Our inability to communicate in grammatically correct Japanese greatly influenced the parameters of the project and its process. There were countless attempts to find the simplest and most direct ways to describe and communicate elusive qualities and sensations of the Anthropocene, so that the geologic epoch could then be abstracted into sugar form. Even in English, we don't have language that adequately captures the difference of the Anthropocene or that describes unfamiliar sensations of its unseasonable qualities. But this project led us to realize that striving or waiting for such language is not actually viable. There isn't time, and tasks are too urgent. Many design expectations had to be let go of, and simultaneously, many improvised alternatives had to be spoken and drawn before they could be enacted. As we forged ahead, We were humbled to realize that it is a substantial task to ask anyone, and any practice — especially those that have been preserved and refined over centuries — to break their form for the purpose of turning towards/into the Anthropocene.
These tiny fragile candies have a carbon footprint of 7,000+ miles. Their path towards the table at Kajitsu passed through the 19th and largest typhoon to affect Japan this year. They are poignant material traces of moments of reinvention, re-assessment and reframing within unfolding Anthropocene events themselves. Perhaps what is most telling about this project as a gesture of acknowledgement toward the Anthropocene, is that these candies were brought into being by a host of unrelated people who worked across great distance and differences to address something none of us fully understood. As limits were reached, the project did not collapse, but reshaped itself to what became possible when we turned at those limits and proceeded with a difference. The outcomes were generative failures of translation and intention. They were then gifted to, and consumed by, a bold and creative group of humans who are daring to turn into the Anthropocene.

poster spotted on a Manhattan bound Q train in early October
It was a dismal reality-check to spot this poster (above) on a Q train last week. Given the complexities of people and motivations that resulted in the People's Climate March last month, this poster felt like just another missed opportunity to communicate something vitally "else" to the millions of people who flow through New York City's transit system. It could be read as a bit of human self-sabotage: the perpetuation of the (at least American) myth that despite the slogan of the march ("this changes everything"), we can still go to brunch, walk the dog, and be entertained in the afternoon as we contribute to "sav[ing] everything we love" simply by being physically (though not psychologically) present for an hour or two of marching.
So, here's to embarking into new territory.
Over the next few months, via this blog, we'll send occasional signals of our attempts to live and enact a literal "difference." Signals will come from within (rather than describing or representing) projects/events in which we take-up new forms of performative research and applied aesthetics — enacted through intentionally designed practices. These could range from daily life practices, new language/communication skills-building, inhabitation practices, and food production/consumption. We envision events in which we create contexts where we, and sometimes others, can co-exist with unfolding, planetary material realities that are "changing everything" in ways that don't take us "out" of those realities, and that sturdy rather than drain us. We're most interested in practices that make it possible, without overexposure to hyper-mediated fear messages or debilitating narratives of guilt, to hold the thought that what is happening to the human habitat "changes everything," and to accept that these massive changes as real.
We made a nascent attempt at one such practice in Truro, MA two weeks ago ("Renga for the Fifth Season"). From here, we hope to go deeper with how to set up and live through such practices, and what such gestures might mean. This is likely to be a long-term commitment. We don't know where they might take us, but we make these gestures as a refusal to wait for or expect governments to "solve" or "fix" the "problems" or to "save" the planet (or us)—and we make them as a means to actualize our intentions to turn daily life into a sustained practice of inhabiting change itself.

Renga for the Fifth Season | Cartography Primer No 2
Saturday, September 27, 2014
2pm | 18 Phats Valley Road, Truro, MA
Cartography Primer is a series of workshops that will investigate the Pamet Marsh area through mapping and exploratory exercises. Cartography Primer No 2 will take place Saturday, September 27th at 2pm, at Phats Valley Residency in Truro, MA and will be led by artists-in-residence Oliver Kellhammer and smudge studio.
"The sun and the moon are eternal voyagers; the years that come and go are travelers too. For those whose lives float away on boats, for those who greet old age with hands clasping the lead ropes of horses, travel is life, travel is home."
—From Narrow Road to Interior, Matsuo Bashō (松尾 芭蕉), translated by Helen Craig MCCullough
In the spring of 1689, Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō set out on a five-month journey in Japan. His experiences are documented in his book, Narrow Road to the Interior, also known as The Narrow Road to the Deep North. While traveling, Bashō drew upon and further developed a 500-year old practice of collaborative haiku poetry called renga. Bashō's style of renga included juxtapositions of place, events and allusions to literary, historic and mythic sources. Renga, in its most basic form, is recognized as being inherently collaborate (linked verses by multiple authors build upon each other's words), inspired by the environmental and social contexts of the moment (such as what trees are in bloom, what stage the moon is in, and who is present at the time of the renga writing "party"), and responsive to the impermanence of the moment.
On Saturday, September 27th, artists-in-residence Oliver Kellhammer and smudge studio will practice a contemporary translation of Bashō's collaborate, time-based poetic form and journey-based practice for Cartography Primer No. 2. They will use that translation to produce a collaborative, renga-inspired work that speaks to the impermanence and continuous renewal of "place" and daily life: the change that makes the world.
Today a renga-like creative practice that responds to the unfolding contexts of its own production would involve many social and environmental conditions unknown to Basho. Indeed, the material conditions of daily life in 2014 are barely understood by those of us who are living them.
For our renga-inspired event, we will invite participants to attune to ephemerality, impermanence and change by walking and pausing in Truro. We will ask guests to spend an hour with "the change that makes this place." We will invite them to use words, diagrams, sketches and found objects to creatively respond to local events and experiences of change as it plays out across their time-based experiences of "this place." The exact site and route of travel will be shaped by what is present at the event: people, weather, light, season, affordances.
We will then gather around a large scroll of paper. Together, we will create a collaborative, renga-like work on the scroll: a flowing, "call and response" sequencing of words, images and objects that poetically link our collected, incomplete, and ephemeral experiences of "place".
The resulting renga-like work will take up challenges and possibilities that are offered by change, as it propels all humans into uncertain but linked futures. We will seek ways to share this work with a public audience.
The Cartography Primer is a workshop series held in conjunction with the Phats Valley residency program. Through walking tours, mapping and other means, we uncover and document the unique history of the site. Phats Valley Residency is administered by The Nomadic Department of the Interior (NDOI), a creative research group co-founded by Ann Chen and Davey Field.

video: bohinic (This video demonstrates how the hour indicators are moved in proportion, from equal spacing at the equinoxes, to close spacing on one half and wide spacing on the other as the year approaches the solstices. In reality, it would take a year to complete this revolution.)
In celebration the Autumn Equinox, we offer a reminder of the wadokei, also known as Japanese temporal time keeping. Wadokei clocks divide a day into unequal temporal hours, composed of six daytime units (from local sunrise to local sunset) and six night time units (from sunset to sunrise), regardless of the season. In summer, the daylight hours are longer and the nighttime hours are shorter, and the opposite in winter. Only on on equinoxes, such as today, the hours are spaced evenly. Whereas on solstices, the clock would have half open spacing on one side and half closed spacing on the other.
On these days of equilibrium, perhaps what feels so good is the reality that the time of our body "clock" actually feels like what our mechanical/digital clocks communicate back to us. In contrast to say, December at 5pm in Eastern Standard Time, when it it feels as though night has, and will be lasting forever. Even iPhones ticking off the minutes of an even 24 hour clock get to feel "right" at least twice a year, on the equinoxes.
Back in the Muromachi period (approx. 1337 to 1573) the wadokei were invented. The history of their design is fascinating:
"[Wadokei] are divided into two sets of six units called "koku". Each koku bears the name of one of the 12 noble animals of Japanese culture, from the rat to the boar, and were numbered in an unusual way. Midnight, the hour of the rat, was associated with number 9, while 6 represented dawn. The numbering continued, with the number 4 was the last koku before noon. As with midnight, number 9 also represented noon, and the sequence repeated itself along the afternoon and beginning of the night. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 were not used in Japan for religious reasons as they corresponded to the number of bell strokes used by Buddhist monks as a call for prayer. The crucial times in this seasonal system were the boundaries between daytime and nighttime. These points in time, at dawn and dusk, were defined as the times when three lines on a human hand became visible or invisible." – From WorldTempus, 2012
In 1873 Japan adopted Western style timekeeping and surrendered this incredibly embodied daily attunement to seasonal variations for the detached linearity of 24 equal hours, 365 days a year. Where might we all be if things had gone the other way? What if the West had adopted temporal time? Might we better prepared to meet the planetary changes underway today? It's hard to imagine that being more aware of changes in light and season, and having time actually reflect our bodily rhythms on a daily basis, wouldn't scale up to aid us in keeping awareness of other, even larger earth forces inflecting our lives. Temporal time certainly makes it harder to forget that we're inhabiting a planet that's rotating AND moving through cosmological space on a minute by minute basis. Who knows what else such clocks might help us remember or relearn today.
Luckily, not all hope is not lost. Contemporary designers have reintroduced the wadokei, just in case you're curious.

Mabe Bethônico, Museum of Public Concerns, poster, video, and text, 2014, via World of Matter
On September 10th we will be presenting our work at the CUNY Graduate Center's The Center for the Humanities conference entitled, Radical Materialism: Making the World Matter. The conference begins at 9:30am and runs until 6pm (in The Skylight Room, 9100 at 365 Fifth Avenue, New York).
"Images and words can be reportage, witness, representation, and simultaneously also constructive, connective, material reality. How does the particular ability of images and words to hold all of these qualities act in a reconsideration of the earth's resources? Continuing the James Gallery's ongoing investigations into "things" and "objects," this conference will open discussion on fossil fuel imaginaries, embodied research, postcolonial ecologies and eco-aesthetics, and the material/non-human turn with visual artists, literary scholars, art historians, designers, geographers, activists, and writers of literature and philosophy. Held in tandem with the exhibition World of Matter, the conference examines the creation of political worlds of words and images by approaching environmental crisis as a material question with deep roots and profound opportunities for the changing life of the earth."
On September 9th, there will be an opening and book launch from 6-8pm for the World of Matter exhibition which will be on view at the James Gallery through November 1, 2014. World of Matter, "comprises visual practitioners and theorists conducting long-term research on material geographies, who engage ideas and practices from art, spatial culture, urbanism, anthropology, art history, cultural theory, photojournalism, activism, publishing, curating and education."
From The Center for the Humanities press release for the exhibition:
The world we inhabit is expanding. Global population growth, increased mobility, accelerated contacts, rising levels of production and consumption, and the expansion of natural resource extraction have had a significant impact in environmental, social and psychological terms. What forms of interaction with the material world acknowledge that there are limits to what we, as humans, might know and control?
Participants in World of Matter draw upon methodologies from the social and natural sciences, journalism, and also poetics and aesthetics, to scrutinize zones of geopolitical-ecological upheaval. The research conducted by the artists, journalists and theorists in World of Matter coheres around a sensitive reconsideration of the planet's "resources." Their projects adopt a variety of formats and strategies to delve into relations between humans and the world, in some cases by way of historical narratives, in others, through scientific laboratory research, community collaboration, visualization technologies, or activist organization. These experiments animate an emerging notion of artistic global citizenship, breaking up well-worn patterns of representation by embracing a plethora of aesthetic, conceptual and interventionist engagements with "matter."
World of Matter artists are Mabe Bethônico, Ursula Biemann, Uwe H. Martin & Frauke Huber, Helge Mooshammer & Peter Mörtenböck, Emily Eliza Scott, Paulo Tavares, Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan. This exhibition is made possible in part by the Center for the Humanities, the Ph.D. Program in English, and the Center for Place Culture and Politics.
A full schedule of related events and programming will be available via the CUNY website early next week. We hope to see you on the 9th and 10th.

Gozan no Okuribi (五山送り火), aka Daimonji (大文字), Kyoto, Japan, image cc via Vincent Follézou
The O-Bon festival is currently underway in Japan and concludes tonight, August 16th, with the Gozan no Okuribi ("five mountain send-off fire"). Five giant images are set ablaze on the mountains surrounding Kyoto—a boat, a shinto shrine gate, and three kanji (Chinese characters used in Japanese writing). The fires are lit to send-off the spirits of deceased ancestors that have been "visiting" for the last three days. The tradition of welcoming back and sending off those who once lived is an annual ritual in Japan, more than 500 years old.
A year and a half ago we wrote a piece on this blog entitled, "Next Five Years." At that time, in response to planetary changes we were experiencing, we outlined a re-framing of our work, "perhaps more vital than any single new project." We recently revisited what we wrote 18 months ago, and feel that much of what we wrote still applies. Yet, given the rate of compounding change, we sense that what unfolds in the next three-and-a-half years will be much more sweeping than anything we had imagined from March of 2013.
On September 21st, 2014 there will be a Climate March in New York City, two days before the United Nations meets for an urgent Climate Summit. Given growing awareness of the wildcard potential of our collective futures, there is potential that those who gather in New York this September won't be "marching" in a fashion typical to previous political gatherings. It's likely that many of those who care enough to turn out also realize that we have less time (if any) than some suggest to alter the course we now are on, and we have fewer, if any, "solutions" to pursue. Rather than defaulting to legacy discourses and worn-out political strategies, what can become possible, or what might be "won" (if we even chose to use such language) through the process of walking together and showing up at all, are new ways to be with the reality of what is materially passing in and out of being right now. And this might be what we hoped for most of all a year and a half ago when we wrote "Next Five Years." At that time, we anticipated that within that five-year window, humans would "grasp the speed, scale, and material realities of planetary change events more concretely. Arguably, thoughts, dreams, actions and creative gestures that we humans make in response to our first inklings and shared experiences of Anthropocene events will set the stage for their potential consequences."
The algorithms driving the change that is the Anthropocene are already in motion—yet their outcomes and consequences remain unknowable from here, and highly volatile. The gathering in September, whether or not we chose to march, could cross a threshold, or a limit, in our national consciousness. What new daily practices might we invent in the process of turning at that limit? We could use some new, "cosmopolitan American" daily life practices to aid us, as the O-bon Festival aides Japanese people in connecting with, and holding thoughts about, what is materially passing in and out of being right now.

from Sonic Life of Giant Tortoise by Toshiki Okada, performed at JACK, Brooklyn, photo Carol Rosegg
She described the feeling. It would start somewhere near her solar plexus and then move up slowly, all the way up into her tear ducts. Or, maybe it would be easier to describe the feeling like being really, really hungry. So hungry, that you have this deep hole, or actually a hollow feeling, in your center. But for which there is no fix. Yet somehow, this feeling would actually feel good, because the feeling itself would mean that you had "really lived." And you would then have this "bittersweet" feeling for the rest of your life.
She was Susannah Flood, momentarily acting the nameless part of a Japanese man in Toshiki Okada's play, Sonic Life of the Giant Tortoise at the JACK theater in Brooklyn. Over 65 minutes, this "character" moved across all five actors on stage, both male and female. At this moment, he was describing what he imagined it would be like if his girlfriend had died, though in "reality," she hadn't. He seemed desperate to have some relief from the banality of his daily life, and by imagining that she was "no longer here," he created a context for having "wistful" feelings that were otherwise impossible.
photo Carol Rosegg
Several weeks ago we wrote about what might come after we humans have accepted that from here on, we are inhabiting an unprecedented planetary reality filled with unpredictable events of change, especially as a result of global warming. And, we asked, what might come now, given the fact that the algorithm of this unfolding material change was set into motion long ago and irrevocably, and that there's no longer anything to "solve," "teach," or "communicate" about this reality. Upon arriving at our own acceptance of these "facts," we described experiencing a "weighty sensation." We also went on to explain that this acceptance is, for us, preferred to pretending that things were otherwise, because there was the potential to pay attention to this uncomfortable sensation, this "hollow center" you might say, and make something from there, rather than ignoring it:
we'd like to imagine a growing number of creative people attuning to different registers of the current material realities of daily life and offering images/sensations/words from their deeply felt experiences of those realities—from places and times where this bare reality strikes deep. AND then, instead of turning away from these highly inconvenient and disturbing sensations and thoughts, what if they took the time and did the incredibly hard work to make something from within such sensations and thoughts, without expecting any outcome (especially any company) in return? – from FOP May 2014
As we experienced Toshiki Okada's production, we felt as though we were witnessing an uncanny (re)enactment of the realization we had only a few weeks prior. There's no getting back things that were dear to us once they are gone, but in their absence, highly nuanced constellations of feelings surface that can be surprisingly instructive. The psychological space of these feelings is vast, but unfamiliar and largely unexplored in Western culture. According to Okada's production company, the word 切なさ/setsunasa was translated from Japanese into the words "bittersweet" and "wistful" for the English version of the play. This word is untranslatable into English, but the kanji used, "切/kiru" is used in the verb "to cut." When used as an adverb, as it is in the play, it is more akin to "loss" and "loneliness." And it also suggests an "atmosphere" around the feelings. It is not as strong as "literal sadness" and could be used to describe a constellation of feelings felt by a person during the autumn season. The word's etymology includes both a sense of sadness, as if the "heart was torn," and an even older link to "thinking something precious." For us, Okada's work is exhilarating, as it uses the difficulties of translation to invite global audiences to cultivate more nuanced vocabularies and psychological capacities for being with, and describing, what is in the midst of passing out of being.
Okada is well-known for delving into the uncomfortable psychological spaces of Japanese society. And post-March 2011 his work and process changed significantly. Though Sonic Life was written pre-earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdowns, the work deeply resonates with the ongoing realities currently unfolding in Japan — and far beyond. That's the incredible power of this production. Most of us, contemporary humans that is, experience some version of daily life as being out of sync, and perhaps banal, in comparison to what we know in our core (or hollow center) about what is actually unfolding in the world, just beyond our comprehension — (global warming, rising seas, droughts, superstorms, or Fukushima). An actor on stage whispers speaks to this under his breath, to no one in particular: "you people aren't living at all."
Yet, the play is far from being accusatory. Through faltering, dead pan statements delivered in stops and starts without a traditional plot, hauntingly unanswerable provocations are left to hang in the air. The medium, or mode of address, is the message. Are we actually relieved to lose someone/thing because it breaks us from the numbing flow we've been buffered within for too long? Is it human nature to have our material affordances and life itself become more meaningful and dear only after they are irrevocably lost?
The character(s) in Sonic Life want to be "capable workers," but they are mostly bored out of their minds, working, commuting and consuming for no real purpose. They've been lucky enough to escape most of the cruelty and pitfalls in life so far, only to be left with an almost desperate sense that they haven't really lived, and that they "want to live more fully" and even to say out loud, "I've lived my life to the fullest."
As one character puts it: "What I'm doing right now, actually, despite what it looks like, is having a dream."
Yet, this dream is our reality and there is no mistaking it. The actors of the performance make disarming eye-contact with audience members. The division between stage and audience blurs as direct references are made to the "outside" that is unfolding in real-time (subway rumblings, traffic, sound of the a/c inside the theater).
photo Carol Rosegg
The play closes with a circuitous unfolding of words, offered not as conclusion or truth, but as open thoughts that are, again, directed to no one in particular. "The life we are living is a far cry from what humankind ought to be living." This is quickly followed by a seemingly protective, reassuring counter statement/question: "Maybe we're not cut out to live how humankind ought to live?" Maybe we just can't bear it. It's a lot of pressure. It's simply beyond our imaginations and capacities as a species to hold the thought that the everyday is connected to something bigger, and act in accord with that thought. And, maybe if everyone is unable to do this, as seems to be true, then our individual "failures" to live as we ought to are neither failures nor tragedies. And, even if we are able to live as we ought to live, the current situation on the planet suggests that everyone has failed, not just me or you. Perhaps this could be reassuring. Either way, we come to a realization that we have limits. As one of the characters points out, we can't fly like birds AND there's no need for us to fly like birds — therefore this "limit" of not flying is okay.
Yet, in the Anthropocene, we've invented technologies, economies, and cultures that extend beyond both our own species' and our own planet's limits. We have designed ways to fly, that involve huge carbon footprints. Perhaps humans ought to live without flying like birds. But we don't.

Social Interactions in a Synchronization Game
This paper analyzes and structurally estimates a synchronization game. Agents take part in an activity and benefit from the participation of others. Coordinated actions are fruit of correlated effects as well as endogenous interactions. Standard tools applied in optimal stopping problems for continuous parameter stochastic processes are used but the processes under study are endogenized by making their distribution dependent on the participation of the group.

Life is a wonder and a mystery
Unravel the mystery, deepen the wonder
The Chisholme Institute is for those who seek to know themselves essentially and to understand the reality of the world in which they live. The education offered here is rooted in the principle of unity central to all wisdom traditions.
Since 1975, when the first long retreat course was held at Chisholme, this has been a place of learning, exploration and contemplation. We offer a wide range of courses and retreats, from weekend retreats to courses in woodland yurts and intensive winter retreats.
Chisholme is located on a beautiful estate in the Scottish Borders. The estate includes an extensive organic garden. The garden provides bountiful produce for the kitchen which itself plays a central role in the education. The main house looks out over glorious landscaped grounds. Woods of native trees encircle the estate. Beyond the estate lie the rolling Border hills waiting to be explored.
Come, see, enquire or simply enjoy a peaceful walk.

majority of products are organic. get's 4 stars because one of the herbs - siberian eluethero root--is geared towards men (not me) but given that it is in such small amounts and the high quality of everything else it doesn't really matter! I'm about to order my 5th bottle.

"My peace is my gift to you," Jesus said to his followers. But this Easter the land where Jesus once walked, the land of today's Israelis and Palestinians, is anything but peaceful. In this exclusive St. Anthony Messenger interview, we talk with Archbishop Elias Chacour, whose archeparchy (archdiocese) in northern Israel includes the land of Galilee, where he grew up. Archbishop Chacour was at the University of Dayton in Ohio last year to attend a graduation of family members and to receive an honorary degree for creating the first Arab university in Israel. Now 73, he remains a busy man! He had just flown from across the world and would be returning in just two days to attend a dinner with the president of Israel.
Chacour's painful childhood story is documented in several books he has written, which have been translated into 20-plus languages. His most famous is Blood Brothers. We started our interview with a bit of that personal story, because it is such a key to his life's work as a peacemaker. He tells about his youth passionately, in painful tones. As he continues, though, settling into a friendly, unassuming style, it is clear why he has been nominated three times, in the 1980s and '90s, to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Once a remarkable parish priest who built a pioneering, inter-ethnic school system against all odds (see Page 16), he was named to lead the church in his region, as archbishop, in 2005.
Q: I know that Biram, near Nazareth, is the village of your youth, one of the many villages from which Palestinians were expelled after World War II. What happened there?
A: Where I was born was a village in North Galilee, a Christian village. All the inhabitants were Christians and Catholics. In 1948 we were deported, evicted from our homes by the military and promised that we would be out for only two weeks. But the two weeks did not end; now it's 64 years later. We were reduced to refugees in our own country, to deportees in our region. We took refuge in a nearby village where some houses had been emptied. And we lived there, waiting for the time to return. And the time did not come. We wonder if it will ever come.
Q: So it's not a dead issue to you, all these years later?
A: It will never be a dead issue, as long as we are living! And those who ought to understand our position most are the Jews. They say, "We were here 2,000 years ago; we are returning." We say, "We have been here that 2,000 years, but 64 years ago, we were deported by violence and we will return."

Paul Allen was hit on his left hand side by the right rear wheel of Webber's car, which flew off after it was not attached properly at his first stop.
The Briton was taken to the circuit medical centre after the incident, before being flown to Koblenz Hospital for treatment.
An FIA spokesman has confirmed that Allen suffered two broken ribs, a broken collarbone, concussion and bruises.
It is likely that he will remain in hospital under observation until early this week.
Red Bull was fined €30,000 for letting Webber's car leave the pits without the wheel attached.

The reason your ESR rate is high could be due to more than just gluten. Additionally, it takes about 3 months of being gluten-free to see a change in such lab tests.

It would be great to get you to see a clinician who could evaluate the true root causes of why your ESR is high.

I'm ...Here is some background on my condition. I'm 34 years old and I've known something has been wrong for 15 years. From two things. One being my stool has really not been solid that whole time and I have gotten chronic sinus infections especially when drinking heavy doses of beer, mainly Budweiser. So with these sinus infections I've taken antibiotics and had three sinus surgeries. About 2.5 years ago I was on antibiotics for most of 4-5 months continuously. My health started deteriorating very slowly about this time and I had some swelling in my right sinus. Worse and worse over the 2.5 years and long nights of drinking really strained me. My ENT doc struggled to figure out what the swelling is in just my right sinus and finally turned me over to the folks below.

I've been gluten, dairy and fish free for 7 months now. These were my highest sensitivity. I am going to a place that is a combination of nutritionists and medical doctors working in tandem. I've had the blood test for food allergies, stool samples for parasites and thyroid function tests. I've eliminated the food allergies which consist of basil, egg, chicken, turkey and the others listed above. We've eliminated the yeast out of my gut and replenishing it with strong probiotics, glutamine and other supplements. We've regulated my thyroid with Nature-Throid. I really feel these folks have there stuff together and I'm on the right track.

So with all this background, 15 years knowing something was not right and 2.5 years of gradually feeling worse I have a question about the healing process. I've read it can take up to 1 to 2 years to heal my gut all the way. Am I in this category with the length of time I've had the problems? So obviously I'm not healed yet. Another question has to do with how it heals. It's been a roller coaster of feeling better for a week or so followed by feeling like garbage for a couple of weeks. Is this roller coaster ride common(I'm in a serious downturn at the moment)? I know inflammation is common with leaky gut and that the digestive tissue below is interconnected with your nose and mouth, so is inflammation in the sinus common?

Thanks for your help,

Your doctor is a little behind the times. A biopsy is no longer required in order to make a celiac diagnosis. Additionally, it could be very dangerous to reintroduce gluten when your tTG IgA is very high. You could initiate an autoimmune disease, beyond the one you already have which is celiac disease.

Please consider finding a doctor that will give you more current advice or consider contacting us for a free health analysis - 408-733-0400. We are here to help!

I have had symptoms of Celiac disease for about a year and a half (possibly some milder symptoms longer). About 1 and 1/2 years ago I started having bowel issues and I lost 20 lbs. without really trying (I was happy to lose the weight). I attributed the weight loss to me stopping drinking soda. I recently went to the doctor and brought up my bowel problems and he ran some blood test and I came back highly positive for IgA (tTG). I was told to stop eating gluten to see how I feel. Until yesterday I had been gluten free for 3 weeks (I am sure I had some slips, as I still don't know everything that has gluten in it). I researched Celiac disease and called my doctor and asked if I needed a biopsy. He told me that yes, I did and that he wanted me to start eating gluten again for 3 weeks and then have the biopsy. I am worried that the results will be negative now that I stopped eating gluten for 3 weeks. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I do not like how I feel eating gluten, now that I have stopped and really don't want to have to keep eating it for longer than 3 weeks. How long does it take for the intestines to heal (please tell me that healing would not have occurred in my 3 weeks of gluten free)? I would appreciate any advice....email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-90404349916084333762013-12-16T18:39:42.272-08:002013-12-16T18:39:42.272-08:00Hello Anonymous, I cannot make medical recommendat...Hello Anonymous,

If you've been diagnosed with gluten intolerance (sensitivity) and your celiac test was negative, I'm not sure why you're scheduled for an endoscopy. Perhaps you can let me know what your doctor is looking for.

If the endoscopy is to rule out celiac disease, then your 6 weeks of gluten-free is going to make the test useless. Now, I DO NOT think you should reintroduce gluten in order to do the test - Please DO NOT do that. But there is also no reason to put yourself through the test if ruling out celiac disease is the intention.

You can run a genetic test through EnteroLab if you want to know if you carry the genes for celiac vs gluten sensitivity. That test requires no reintroduction - something I consider to be quite dangerous.

I am gluten sensitive. I found out when I started to get all sorts of autoimmune problems; nail infections, sudden loss of 10% body weight, blurred thinking, etc. etc.

In my country you can't get tested and even the best hospitals have trouble with understanding gluten sensitivity.

Vitimin B shots alleviated virtually all my problems.

I can recommend a powder called Triphala, which is a mix of three dried fruits. I had a problem with skin on my fingers never healing for 2 years. 2 weeks of drinking this disgusting stuff solved that problem. Look it up, it contains substances used in medicine for healing skin. I imagine it is also doing my intestine good.

I've been suffering from chronic severe constipation ever since I was an infant, and the problem got worse and worse. About 7 years ago I started feeling nauseous and ever since I'm nauseous 24/7. Food (doesn't matter what type) makes me feel like vomiting. Even water has started to bother me when I ingest it. I'm 25 lbs underweight and I never gain any weight. The problem is, I keep losing. I'm down to 90 lbs as of now and i'm just so tired, nauseous, sick and weak. All doctors tell me it's just GERD, prescribe me antacids and send me home. I've tried everything for constipation, but nothing works. I drink water, exercise, no caffein, no dairy, mostly fruits and veggies. I take probiotics too. Sometimes I get so plugged up to the point where even laxatives won't work anymore. All the doctors I've been to didn't bother to do anything about this. I went gluten free about 4 months ago and the first 2 weeks I felt amazing. I've never felt better in my life, but then I ate gluten twice by mistake and went back to feeling nauseous, really plugged up etc. The thing is, I no longer respond to the gluten free diet. I mean I eat gf, yet I don't feel the same as in those first 2 weeks of gluten free. Should I reintroduce gluten in my diet and call it a day? My doctor has told me celiac is not an option because I don't have diarrhea, so what do you I should do? I can't get him to test me for celiac firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-633665150386737052013-04-02T16:54:17.918-07:002013-04-02T16:54:17.918-07:00@gfstillconfused: Your reaction is common and it m...@gfstillconfused:
Your reaction is common and it means that you truly are sensitive to gluten, despite not having a wheat allergy. The reason the reaction is more intense is that your immune system has gotten a chance to 'relax' while you removed gluten and then when you reintroduced it, the immune system was able to let you know how it really feels about it.
That is simplifying the mechanism, but the concept is true.
I often hear this same question from patients. Now if you didn't have a sensitivity, the reintroduction would cause no reaction, let alone an amplified one.
I hope that makes sense.

During this time I accidentally ate something containing wheat once and had a reaction much stronger than the symptoms I used to have. I also ate regular bread two days in a row recently to check whether I really have a problem with gluten. Again the reaction was a lot worse than the symptoms I used to have.

I'm confused about this. While I used to have a lot of symptoms before going gluten free, why ddi I have a lot more severe symptoms during these two brief gluten challenges?

I would be very grateful for an explanation.

Further info: I still have occasionally mild pain even on the gluten free diet.

Well you're question touches a raw nerve for me. If her blood test was positive and all her symptoms went away during the 3 weeks, I think it's cruel and unusual punishment to then put her back on it, only to have her suffer again. How much longer does the GI want her to wait before doing the endoscopy?
Please note that the endoscopy is no longer the 'gold standard' once thought. Research supports that positive blood tests along with improvement of symptoms and positive genetic markers are more than enough to make the diagnosis.
I know this is 'late' advice since she's already back on gluten, but the genetic test is not invasive and requires no gluten consumption.
Even if the endoscopy is negative, it doesn't negate the celiac diagnosis.
I would think doing the endoscopy right away would be fine considering only 3 weeks off gluten likely didn't create complete healing of her villi, if they are affected.
Once again, there are many celiacs with a negative biopsy that still have the disease.
The next step is to handle the secondary effects of gluten that I speak of often.
If you need more data consider contacting us for a free health analysis - 408-733-0400.
Reintroducing gluten runs the risk of developing an autoimmune disease, which is why I am so opposed to the practice.
Good luck and please let me know how it all goes.

If you see absolutely no change, there is likely another cause that must be addressed. She may want to try a dairy-free diet at the same time considering the known neurological effects associated with it.

So, I just spent WAY too long trying to fix a problem and I finally did it! Just in case there are others out there trying to do the same thing and can't find the answer online... well, now... here it is.
I am writing my own custom plugin to be used with WordPress MU 2.9.2.
My plugin allows a ADMIN panel that users can upload an image that will be stored into its own table in MySQL database (under WordPress MU scheme). I have written a matching Widget that will then pull the related images directly from the database and display to website visitors.
The problem I was having was... I could upload images into via my WordPress ADMIN panel screen that were less than approx 60 Kb (kilobytes) in size. Anything over that... just didn't do anything. It was like I never made the form POST. For the longest time I thought it had to do with my PHP file upload limits (which do need to be set). In the end, it turned out I was using a MySQL database field "BLOB" that is only 64K in size. So, I changed my database field from "BLOB" to "MEDIUMBLOB" and IT WORKED!!! "MEDIUMBLOB" has size of 16MB and "LONGBLOB" has 4GB. Thanks to the following URL I found that on: http://osdir.com/ml/php.database/2002-06/msg00020.html
Also, make sure you have the appropriate settings for the following files:
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 120M
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 100M
GOOD LUCK and I hope this helps someone else!

The home side had a 37th minute Dylan McGowan goal ruled out after assistant referee Francis Andrews flagged for a foul by Jason Holt on United goalkeeper Radoslaw Cierzniak.
The Polish shot-stopper had appeared to misjudge Callum Paterson's long throw, leaving the Australian defender with a tap in.
Locke, whose team have now cut the gap at the Premiership basement to eight points on St Mirren, said: "I felt we should have taken all three points.
"I've seen the goal there on the laptop and it's a goal. It's another sore one to take because it's another big decision that's gone against us.
"The linesman disallowed the goal, I had a word at half-time and he said there was a push.
"Unfortunately we've just got to accept that and move on. From where I was it looked like the keeper just misjudged the throw.
"We've had a couple of bad decisions against us, we've got to get on with it. We can't let it affect us."
United had a goal disallowed of their own minutes earlier when Nadir Ciftci turned in a shot from close range.
But referee Steven McLean ruled that David Goodwillie had committed a foul in the build up.
United manager Jackie McNamara said: "I thought it was a free-kick (for Hearts' disallowed goal).
"I watched it back. I know it's soft but it's still a free-kick. The lads went into him first as he's thrown the ball and he's went in again to put him back towards to his goal.
"It's a foul. Nadir's one for the foul against Goody, I thought he just used his body there.
"I thought there was not much in that. I know Lockie is a bit frustrated with their goal but it was a foul."
United forward Ciftci went the closest during a captivating draw when he hit the post after the break.
Locke's disappointment over the main talking point was tempered by the return of Ryan Stevenson, who picked up a knee injury against Hibs on August 11.
Locke added: "I was delighted, he is a big player, a very important player for us. He is great in the dressing room as well so it's great to get him back on the pitch again."

Metropolitan appoints new chair of its board
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
Paula Kahn
Housing association Metropolitan has appointed a new chair of its board.
Paula Kahn has experience as a CEO and senior manager in the private sector and has held a number of chair and director positions in the public, community and not-for-profit sectors. She is currently chair of the NHS North Central London Cluster.
Ms Kahn will take up the position in May after a handover period with the current chair, Barbara Roche, who is concluding the end of her six-year term.
Paula Kahn said: "I am extremely pleased to be appointed as chair of the Metropolitan board. There is a lot of work to do, particularly as the housing and care and support sectors are changing so dramatically; I am looking forward to working with the Metropolitan board to help shape the future direction of the organisation to meet these challenges."
Barbara Roche added: "I am delighted with Paula's appointment. She has a wealth of experience enabling organisations during a time of change and this will be highly valuable to Metropolitan. The organisation is under the leadership of a new chief executive, Brian Johnson, and I am sure together they will have a great impact on the services being delivered."
Metropolitan manages over 36,000 homes across England.

As an unexperienced CSS and web designer I have trouble locating in my CSS file the line where I can change the color of a link.
If I change "a visited" then also my nav bar changes color and I only want to change the color of the link itself.
If you browse to My Site you see with the last post that the word fascinations is not high-lighted although it is a link. Do I need to add some code to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
