Small farms, smaller plots: land size, fragmentation, and productivity in Ethiopia
A new article published today in the Journal of Peasant Studies by Mark Paul, a postdoctoral associate at the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, and Mwangi wa Gĩthĩnji entitled "Small farms, smaller plots: land size, fragmentation, and productivity in Ethiopia" explores the relationship between yield, farm size and fragmentation using an Ethiopian national survey. Paul and Gĩthĩnji find an inverse relationship between farm size and yield, and a positive association between yield and land fragmentation.
Heightened interest in African agriculture has led to a debate on the degree to which yields can be improved in the sector. Confronted with an agricultural landscape of small and often fragmented farms, part of the standard policy approach has been to suggest increased formal land titling (Deininger and Jin 2006 Deininger, K., and S. Jin. 2006. Tenure security and land-related investment: Evidence from Ethiopia. European Economic Review 50, no. 5: 1245–77. doi: 10.1016/j.euroecorev.2005.02.001[CrossRef], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Musembi 2007 Musembi, Celestine Nyamu. 2007. De Soto and land relations in rural Africa: Breathing life into dead theories about property rights. Third World Quarterly 28, no. 8: 1457–78. doi: 10.1080/01436590701637334[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]) to secure tenure with either administrative or market-led consolidation, alongside support for large-scale commercial farms, often in the form of land grabs (Collier 2008 Collier, P. 2008. Politics of hunger: How illusion and greed fan the food crisis. Foreign Affairs, November/December, 67–87. [Google Scholar]; Collier and Venables 2012 Collier, P., and A.J. Venables. 2012. Land deals in Africa: Pioneers and speculators. OxCarre Research Paper 69. ) as a way of transforming African agriculture (Hallam 2009 Hallam, David. 2009. Foreign investment in developing country agriculture: Issues, policy implications and international response. OECD Global Forum on International Investment 8, no. 1: 1–9. [Google Scholar]; World Bank 2010 World Bank. 2010. Principles for responsible agricultural investment that respects rights, livelihoods and resources. Washington, DC: World Bank. [Google Scholar], 36). In fact, during a relatively short period of time foreign direct investment in agriculture rose rapidly from USD 600 million in the 1990s to around USD 3 billion on average during 2005–2007 (UNCTAD 2009 UNCTAD. 2009. World investment report 2009. Transnational corporations, agricultural production and development. New York: UNCTAD. [Google Scholar]).
The push for land consolidation and support for large-scale commercial farming lies in contrast to a long-existing literature that suggests an inverse relationship between farm size and yield per unit of land. While the higher yield per acre of smaller farms, conventionally known as the IR effect (inverse relationship between farm size and yield per unit of land) has been well studied in the Asian, and particularly Southeast Asian, context there are relatively few studies in the African context, and those that exist tend to be sub-national studies. Critics of the IR have therefore argued that there is not sufficient evidence in the African case to base agrarian policy on the existence of an IR (Sender and Johnston 2004 Sender, J., and D. Johnston. 2004. Searching for a weapon of mass production in rural Africa: Unconvincing arguments for land reform. Journal of Agrarian Change 4, no. 1–2: 142–64. doi: 10.1111/j.1471-0366.2004.00075.x[CrossRef], [Google Scholar]).
Apart from farms being small, fragmentation is frequently viewed as an impairment to productivity gains (Ali and Deininger 2015 Ali, D.A., and K. Deininger. 2015. Is there a farm-size productivity relationship in African agriculture? Evidence from Rwanda. Land Economics 91, no. 2: 317–43. doi: 10.3368/le.91.2.317[CrossRef], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]). When fragmentation is present, farmers may spend additional resources to travel between plots, plow discontinuous fields, monitor labor in different areas and move farm equipment (Rahman and Rahman 2009 Rahman, S. and M. Rahman. 2009. Impact of land fragmentation and resource ownership on productivity and efficiency: The case of rice producers in Bangladesh. Land Use Policy 26, no. 1: 95–103. doi: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2008.01.003[CrossRef], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; Kawasaki 2010 Kawasaki, K. 2010. The costs and benefits of land fragmentation of rice farms in Japan. Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 54, no. 4: 509–26. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-8489.2010.00509.x[CrossRef], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]). This paper, investigating the link between fragmentation and the farm size productivity debate, is of particular importance in today's policy environment where land grabs, involving land consolidation, have been advocated as a means to increase agricultural production (Collier and Dercon 2014 Collier, P., and S. Dercon. 2014. African agriculture in 50 years: Smallholders in a rapidly changing world? World Development 63, no. 10: 82–101. [Google Scholar]).
Ethiopia in particular has been subject to extensive land grabs which have been largely supported by the government as part of its agricultural transformation strategy (Lavers 2012 Lavers, Tom. 2012. Patterns of agrarian transformation in Ethiopia: State-mediated commercialisation and the 'land grab'. The Journal of Peasant Studies 39, no. 3–4: 795–822. doi: 10.1080/03066150.2012.660147[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]; UNDP 2012 UNDP. 2012. An assessment of operation and performance of commercial farms in Ethiopia. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: UNDP. [Google Scholar]). In both of its most recent economic plans, namely the Growth and Transformation Plan 1: 2010/11-2014/15 (GTP 1) and the Growth and Transformation Plan 2: 2015/16-2019/20 (GTP 2) (Ministry of Finance and National Development 2010 Ministry of Finance and National Development. 2010. Growth and transformation plan 2010/11–2014/15. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance and Economic Development. Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. [Google Scholar]; National Planning Commission 2016 National Planning Comission. 2016. Growth and transformation Plan II. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance and Economic Development. Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. ), in addition to the support for consolidation and small farmer commercialization the government has embarked on a specifically pro-large-scale land acquisition program. In GTP 1 the government aimed to transfer a total of 2.3 million hectares of land to large-scale commercial farming, mainly in the horticultural sector. While not achieving its target, it did manage during the period to actually transfer 840,000 hectares (National Planning Commission 2016 National Planning Comission. 2016. Growth and transformation Plan II. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance and Economic Development. Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. ).
The findings in this paper shed light on whether the policy priorities put forth by international organizations and often implemented by national governments are perhaps counter-productive to poverty reduction and food security objectives. Our paper thus attempts to do two things in response to the contemporary discussion: first, we establish the existence of the IR using national data in the context of a large and populous African country that is predominantly agricultural, namely Ethiopia; second, we connect the debate on farm size and yield to address the conventional assumption that consolidation of fragmented plots will necessarily lead to higher output.

Zuzuk, Roman
Roman Zuzuk was born in 1961 in Selec, Ukraine. From 1980 – 1984 he studied at Simferpol Art School in the Crimea and later attended Kiev Academy of Fine Arts. Zuzuk's work is inspired by childhood memories of the small Ukranian village in which he was raised. His bold use of color, wild patterns, and lyrical compositions reflect the child in all of us. Surprisingly, Zuzuk often raises important social and political issues in his artwork, but his message is generalized as common wisdom. Furthermore, he tends to create modern fables that are not didactic, but rather open to individual interpretation. Simply stated, Zuzuk portrays our paradoxical world with grace and humor.

This is the house that Lawrence Vosburgh built on the western bank of the Housatonic outside of Vandeusenville. Vosburgh was the stepfather of my gggreat-grandmother Sarah Livingston. He was the third husband of her mother Rachel Boyes. In 1850 as shown on the federal census Sarah and her husband George Winchell lived in this house with Vosburgh and his wife Rachel Boyes.
The next generation of Winchells moved to Housatonic.
This was the house that George's son and my ggreat-grandfather John L. Winchell bought with his wife Winifred O. Ashley on Hart Street in Housatonic. I am still kicking myself for not arranging for a tour of the house when it was for sale.
This house next door belonged to John and Winifred's son Daniel H. Winchell. Daniel was married to Alice Augusta Warfield. They had a daughter Adelsa Roberta. Daniel died of epilepsy when he was thirty.
Lower down on Kirk Street is the house that George and Sarah's daughter and John's sister Henrietta lived with her husband Uriah Surriner Sr.
Right around the corner from Hart Street on Main Street, Samantha Winchell, sister of John and Henrietta, lived in this house with her husband Isaac Strong. I'll have to go see if they ever finished painting the house.
Searles Castle today
If you go to Searles Castle, Estate of the Day, you will see more exterior and interior photos of the estate. I have never seen photos of the interior of what my great-grandfather helped build until today.

We all add value
Posted on 24. Mar, 2014 by Deon Viljoen in Balance, Constructive living, Leadership
A Chinese water bearer had two large pots, suspended at either end of a yoke or pole borne on his shoulders.
One pot was perfect. The other had a crack in it.
So after walking from the nearby stream to the cottage, the water bearer had one full pot and a half-empty pot. The perfect pot was very proud and the imperfect pot miserable and ashamed because it accomplished so little. This went on for a long time.
At last the damaged pot spoke to the water bearer: "I'm sad. I try my best but I'm not good enough".
The water bearer replied: "Haven't you noticed that there are beautiful flowers only on your side of the path between the stream and the cottage? That's because I've always known about your flaw, and I planted seeds only on your side of the path. Every day you water them for me, and I'm able each day to enjoy the wonderful sight of vibrant, wonderful flowers. Because of who you are, because of your uniqueness and character, you alone can bring this very special gift".
There is a space and place for all of us.
Sharing stories, Deon

Did you hear that Seattle has a new income tax?
Sort of. Eventually. But maybe not.
The tax rate is 2.25 percent and will tag you if you are (1) single and earn more than $250,000 per year or (2) married and earn more than $500,000.
This is big-bucks land, and we normally would not dwell on this except…
Washington state has no income tax.
Let us get this right: Seattle wants to have an income tax in a state that has no income tax. Washington state considered an income tax back in the 1930s, but the courts found it unconstitutional.
You or I would live within the Seattle city limits … why?
Surely there are nice suburbs we could call home. Heck, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos do not live in Seattle; they live in the suburbs.
There appear to be legal issues with this tax.
The state constitution, for example, requires taxes to be uniform within a class of property. The pro-tax side questions whether income is "property."
The anti-tax side provides the Power Inc v Huntley case (1951), wherein the Washington Supreme Court stated:
It is no longer subject to question in this court that income is property."
Must be something cryptic about the wording.
Then there is a law that bans Washington cities from taxing net income.
The pro-tax side argues that they are not taxing "net" income. No sir, they are taxing "adjusted" or "modified" or "found-under-the-cushions" income instead.
The anti-tax side says: seriously?
Then you have the third issue that Washington cities must have state authority to enact taxes.
The pro-tax side says it can do this under their Licenses and Permits authority.
Licenses and permits—Excises for regulation.
A code city may exercise the authority authorized by general law for any class of city to license and revoke the same for cause, to regulate, make inspections and to impose excises for regulation or revenue in regard to all places and kinds of business, production, commerce, entertainment, exhibition, and upon all occupations, trades and professions and any other lawful activity: PROVIDED, That no license or permit to engage in any such activity or place shall be granted to any who shall not first comply with the general laws of the state.
No such license shall be granted to continue for longer than a period of one year from the date thereof and no license or excise shall be required where the same shall have been preempted by the state, nor where exempted by the state, including, but not limited to, the provisions of RCW 36.71.090 and chapter 73.04 RCW relating to veterans.
I am not making this up, folks.
Here is the mayor:
This legislation will face a legal challenge."
And green is a color.
But let me tell you something: we welcome that legal challenge. We welcome that fight."
Then why pick a fight, Floyd?
… lowering the property tax burden …, addressing the homelessness crisis; providing affordable housing, education and transit; … creating green jobs … meeting carbon reduction goals."
Got it: verbigeration, the new college major. It will get you to that $15 minimum wage. At least until those jobs go away because they are too expensive.
Speaking of expense: who is bankrolling this issue while it is decided in court? Has the city banked so much money that a guaranteed legal battle is worth it?
If we need to pack the courts, will you be there with me?" thundered a councilperson.
Pack the courts? Should we bring bats too?
The pro-tax side wants to be sued, hoping that a judge will legislate from the bench.
Needless to say, the anti-tax side is resisting, with calls for "civil disobedience."
With exhortations not to file returns.
The state chair of the Republican party is encouraging
"… non-compliance, non-violent and non-paying"
Sounds almost Gandhi-esque.
It appears that neither side has any intention to observe – heck, even acknowledge – any pretense of law.
I am at a loss to see how this is good for anybody.

All Poporcelain pieces are diligently handmade in Denmark, from their original sketching, moulding, crafting and firing right through to the final assembly stage. Poporcelain takes pride in doing the entire process properly and to a high standard. Handmade pieces may not be perfect, which only adds charm: every Poporcelain piece is unique in shape and no two are exactly the same.
Please avoid direct contact with water and chemical products, such as soap, perfume, hand cleaning gel, oils, make up, moisturizers, etc. Please do not wear jewelry while swimming, showering or raining. Use a soft cloth to dry them if they get wet. Please do not yank and pull chains or components. For the porcelain part, please avoid impact with hard surfaces and sharp objects as they are fragile material. Unlike plating metal, porcelain can last for an extremely long time, even hundreds of years. Please store the jewelry in a dry place such as a bedroom and not the bathroom. Its recommended to store the jewelry in its original packaging to avoid being damaged or scratched.
Every piece of porcelain has experienced more than 10 hours of kiln firing, with temperatures reaching over 1200°C. Most of them need to be fired twice or even three times. Along with the sketching, crafting, cooling, polishing and assembling, producing the final finished piece is extremely time-consuming.
These Poporcelain Rose Oval Porcelain Cameo Earrings are not only a fashion piece, but also an art piece. The cameos are carefully handcrafted and hand-painted from fine white porcelain.
• They experienced more than 15 hours kiln firing, with temperatures reaching over 1200°C.
• The earrings feature a dark romantic look with the black and gold tone finish and the highlighted olive green velvet ribbon bows.
• Earrings come with 14K gold-filled leverback ear hooks.
• Size & Fit: 33mm x 52mm x 8mm
• Color: Black, white, green, gold
• Weight: 6g/pair

Weaving 101
Yesterday my mom and I took a weaving workshop with the local guild. In just a few hours you learn the basics of weaving and finish a whole scarf! (It helps tremendously that the instructors do all the tricky and time-consuming set up.) I caught on pretty quickly, although I had some sort of brain hiccup that caused me repeatedly to make the same mistake by missing two rows. Luckily we caught and fixed most of the mistakes. Alas, one remains marring my lovely scarf. Although I think crafty wisdom says every project should have an imperfection to prove it's handmade. Wise, placating, words indeed.
Today I enjoyed a lovely afternoon at my spinning wheel. I finished spinning and plying a jumbo box of fibre in a deep purple called fresh fig. The niddy noddy is hanging in the shower with the yarn drip drying. I can't wait to twist up the skein and see how it looks.

Boy, oh boy
I am the worst blogger ever. I should have made New Year's resolution covering this. Alas, I did not. I could give a bunch of excuses - I'm outside breaking my back shovelling, I've been preoccupied with other unblogworthy pursuits, the dog ate my craftwork - but I'm just a slacker, pure and simple.
I am resolved to get back on the right track soon.
I did make this cool miniaturized version of a photo from my visit to a Vienna palace . . .

Today I finally made my way over to the Public Garden here in Boston...
...it is the prettiest time of year in Boston and I can't help but take pictures of all the glory!
full bloom on Marathon Monday, but due to the crazy winter we've had, the full bloom was delayed a few weeks this year...
Some of the trees were just past their prime today, as were some of the tulips.
All were still beautiful though.
I could have stayed there all day, but I figured 118 pictures was probably enough!
Even through the rain, the colors were beautiful.
This tulip amazed me, it was as if someone dipped a paint brush in bright red paint and just swished this one petal...amazing.
Happy Mother's Day!!


text: Anyone have previous experience on subject matter? Balcony has considerable amount of wear and tear with concrete cancer from steel inside concrete.... Not sure how bad it is but probably unsafe and easy to fix for a builder of some sort. I have some pics I will try and download and wondering if this can be fixed via patching if some sort of builders can do this or it has to be fully replaced if dangerous for tenants. Looking for some experienced advice before tackling builders/trades for quotes and if it actually needs replaced in full?

PANTHEIST - Amartia

Moments of inspiration do exist and Pantheist are quite good in creating their pessimistic atmospheres. But those 75 minutes of chinese doom torment are too much and boredom easily beats their good intentions.

Jayadvaita Swami
Jayadvaita Swami
|Other names
|Jay Israel
|November 2, 1949
|Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Hinduism
|Other names
|Jay Israel
|Senior posting
|Diksa–1968, Sannyasa–1978
|Trustee, The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, spiritual teacher, Sannyasi
Jayadvaita Swami, a Gaudiya Vaishnava swami,[1] is an editor, publisher, and teacher and a disciple of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). He has been the seniormost editor for the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust for more than forty years.[2] He served as a trustee for the Book Trust from 1988 through 2017.[3] He has been described as "one of ISKCON's most independent-minded and respected thinkers."[2] He is the author of Vanity Karma: Ecclesiastes, the Bhagavad-gita, and the meaning of life, a cross-cultural commentary on the biblical book of Ecclesiastes.[4] The book won the 2016 Benjamin Franklin Book Award from the Independent Book Publishers Association as the best book in the "religion" category.[5]
Jayadvaita Swami was born Jay Israel to a Reform Jewish family.[1] He spent his childhood in Englewood, New Jersey.[1] In 1968 in New York City he was first introduced to Krishna Consciousness[1] and received initiation from Srila Prabhupada.[6] Jay shaved his head, received the spiritual name Jayadvaita, and began to study the teachings of Krishna.[7] Practically the first task assigned to him in ISKCON was to staple booklets.[1] Later he went on to become the editor of dozens of books and magazines.[1] He was engaged in transcribing Srila Prabhupada's dictation for books, and then typesetting, proofreading, managing book production, and editing.[6] Although before joining ISKCON Jayadvaita attended some college classes at Carnegie Institute of Technology, "he is in the most general sense self-educated and taught himself everything he needed to know in order to become a literary editor".[1]
In 1978 he accepted the order of renounced life, sannyasa, from Satsvarupa dasa Goswami. In 1985 and 1986, he spent a year and a half traveling with a party of pilgrims on padayatra, a journey on foot, through various states of India, stopping in a different town or village every night.[8] From 1991 through most of 1998[9] he served as editor in chief of Back to Godhead magazine,[10][11] for which he had been an assistant editor for several years. He later served as editor for a three-volume translation and commentary for Brihad-bhagavatamrita, a sixteenth-century Sanskrit philosophical and devotional work.[12] Still later, he served as editor for Tattva Sandarbha, another sixteenth-century Sanskrit philosophical work.[13] Jayadvaita Swami has also been involved in debates with the proponents of the "ritvik" doctrine, an unusual notion about discipular succession he regards as contrary both to tradition and to Srila Prabhupada's teachings.[14]
Apart from his services in publishing, Jayadvaita Swami travels widely, teaching and lecturing in over 50 countries.[1]

We all have our own beauty routines and use certain creams and lotions that are specifically adapted to our imperfections in order to feel resplendent. Now that our Holiday break is coming, we'd all like to be our best selves and not having to worry about our hair or skin. That's why we've created this 5 steps daily beauty routine that you can start right now for impressive results in only a few days.
1. Nice white teeth
Ah, white teeth! A huge fight between our morning coffee, red wine and our conscience. If we don't want to make any compromises foodwise, we need to start using efficient whitening tools like the new Optic White products by Colgate. Toothbrush with integrated whitening pen, toothpaste that even whitens under the enamel and foaming mouthwash that cleanses everything, even the areas that are hard to reach. This is the trio you'll need for a nice smile.
Toothbrush with whitening pen, toothpaste and mouthwash by Optic White, $15.99, $4.99 and $8.29 in drugstores.
2. For glowing eyes
Although there are a ton of products that fight under eye circles and wrinkles on the market, here is one that has a little something special. Shiseido has already won its place in our makeup drawers, but its new Bio Performance Glow Revival eye cream impressed us once again. This product targets the microcapillaries of the skin to give it its shine and flexibility back. Also, if you apply it using the traditional kassa massaging technique, a technique that has been used in Asia for over 2500 years, the results will be improved. The product has a chart that explains the technique in the instructions.
Bio Performance Glow Revival eye cream by Shiseido, $78 at Sephora and online.
3. For fuller lips
A two-in-one serum that makes lips fuller and smoother, that's what we like, but also because its effect can be felt right after the application. On top of that, this product targets the wrinkles that are rarely talked about in the beauty industry: the smoker's wrinkles. This might be a favourite of many!
Pepti Collagen Lip & Contour by Karine Joncas, $35 online and in certain retailers.
4. Peach skin
Because after treating our skin so well, we want it to stay that way. For that, you need to use makeup products that are good for the skin. Yes, they exist! The brand Colorescience offers a line of various different products, like a sunscreen that contains ingredients that are good for your skin in each bottle. Even stars use it! Smooth skin without compromising.
Colorescience Mini set, $29 online.
5. Energy for days
To end our routine, we're leaving the beauty products behind. By adding to our daily orange juice a dose of Super Energex, we guarantee you that your energy will be sustained during the whole day. Less fatigue will make your face radiant and glowing!
Adrien Gagnon Super Energex, $19.99 for 50 ampoules in drugstores.
Bonus: Bye bye dull hair
Whether it's for a new hairdo or simply to enhance your natural colour, the semi-permanent dye Natural Instincts by Clairol is what you need. I can already hear you say that drugstore hair dye will never be as good as a salon dye, but you're wrong! Even Denis Binet, the expert of coloration said that it was simply a myth. This one, made without ammonia and formulated with aloe, vitamin E and coconut oil, will keep your new (or enhanced!) hair colour for around 28 washes. The best part? Because it's semi-permanent, the colour will fade after each wash, which gives you a new hairdo every week!
Semi-permanent hair dye Natural Instincts by Clairo, $8,99 in drugstores.

Fond of fine art photography but can not afford it? The easiest way would be to opt for fine art on canvas which is affordable and can be used to decorate your walls. For this, you can browse through a fine art gallery and choose an image that impresses you. The image can then be sent to a company that can help you to get it printed on a canvas.
It is advisable to choose a good company like www.getcanvas.co.uk which provides you with good quality art prints on canvas at a reasonable price. The company allows you to make changes in the art on canvas wherein you can re-colour it and get it printed on canvases of different sizes. If you have your own fine art photograph then you can send that to the company or browse through their fine art gallery or the abstract art gallery and choose an image from there.
Once you have sent in your request, the company provides you with a sample photo canvas so that you may know what the final product would be like. This way you can place your order online and get beautiful art prints on canvas. The fine art gallery at the website contains a number of prints to choose from.

This week's column features a special report from Targum Shlishi that should be of interest to many of our readers. It concerns a translation into Hungarian of a new exhibition that will be seen in Hungary concerning the religious historic connection between the Jewish people and Eretz Yisrael.
At the heart of this essay is the scholarship of the late Dr. Robert Wistrich, whose work on anti-Semitism was featured some years ago in this column. I hope that you will find this article to be of more than just of passing interest.
Hungary has had a rather checkered history when it come to bigotry against Jews. Hopefully, this exhibit will, in some small measure, help to inform Hungarians as to the truth concerning the history of anti-Jewish bigotry, and to thus rectify the truth of our people's connection to the holy land as well as to our people's role in Hungarian history.
By Targum Shlishi
The exhibition "People, Book, Land—The 3,500 Year Relationship of the Jewish People with the Holy Land," produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has traveled widely since its inception in 2014. Targum Shlishi is supporting the translation of the exhibition's twenty-five text panels into Hungarian, in preparation for an exhibition in Hungary.
The exhibition, authored by the late scholar Robert Wistrich, a professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is co-sponsored by UNESCO and the governments of Canada, Israel, and the United States. The exhibition traces the history of the Jewish people's long relationship with the Holy Land, beginning with text panels focused on subject material including Abraham, Moses, David and Solomon, and the Prophets. The chronologically organized exhibition then moves through centuries of Jewish history before devoting several panels to exploring the recent past, from the late 1800s until today, in terms of the Jewish presence in the Holy Land.
Professor Wistrich was a scholar of anti-Semitism who found significant parallels between today's extreme anti-Zionism and the anti-Jewish sentiments so prevalent in Europe before the Holocaust. Part of the purpose of the exhibition is to address and counter anti-Zionism.
"Israel just celebrated its seventieth Independence Day. Unfortunately, there are persistent and aggressive assaults on Israel's legitimacy from multiple sources that range from the international community to college campuses. As the current climate demonstrates, this exhibition is more important than ever," notes Andrea Gollin, program director of Targum Shlishi. "People, Book, Land counters the delegitimization of Israel by clearly tracing the long and profound connection the Jews have had with this land."
This is the first exhibition of its kind in the history of the UN. As Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said on the occasion of the initial launch, the exhibition "outlines the historic raison d'etre for the UN decision to recognize a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1947: the indisputable fact that the Jewish people have an uninterrupted 3,500-year relationship with the Holy Land."
The exhibition's early days were marked with controversy; its launch at UNESCO in Paris in 2014 was delayed by six months due to opposition from the Arab block, which protested that the exhibition would undermine Middle East peace talks. The initial response to the exhibition demonstrates why this material is so relevant and how significant it is that thousands of people all over the world have viewed this material since the show's initial launch.
The exhibition has traveled widely since its inception in 2014 and been viewed by thousands. Places where it has been on view, in addition to UNESCO in Paris, include the UN in New York, the US Congress, the Israeli Knesset, the Vatican, Copenhagen Town Hall, the New Delhi Gandhi Centre, the British House of Commons, and the CCK Presidential Cultural Centre in Buenos Aires.

Swindon Wildcats are delighted to announce the return of Kyle Smith ahead of the 2017/18 NIHL season. Kyle joined the Wildcats in the summer of 2016 after graduating from the Okanagan Hockey Academy alongside fellow returnees Ollie Stone and Ben Nethersell.
Having impressed in his opening season with his fast skating and physical brand of hockey, Kyle instantly became a fan favourite and was an early winner of the Swindon Wildcats Supporters Club 'Player of the Month' trophy. Despite suffering a couple of injuries last season, Kyle still managed 35 appearances alongside five in the play-offs.
Player Coach Aaron Nell was pleased to have Kyle back in the line-up for next season:
"I'm very happy Kyle is back, he had an up and down season last year but that is to be expected from a first year player.
It's important for Kyle to push on this season and to continue his development. He brings an awful lot of speed and grit to our line-up and he's not very nice to play against. Kyle will add more energy to the team and the building when he's at the top of his game". Nell added.
Kyle himself was looking forward to a second season at the Link Centre continue his development by adding:
"I am excited to be back playing in Swindon for another season. I cannot wait to be back on the ice and back with the team. I am really looking forward to seeing what the new league will be like and to be playing some different teams.
I am very confident in coming into the new season and knowing where I stand as a player in the NIHL. I'm looking to be a strong and confident player on the ice and have a really good season."
For sponsorship information regarding Kyle or any of our players, please contact our Commercial Manager Sally Price on firstname.lastname@example.com or by phoning 01793 781549.

Some are angels, some are monsters, but they all have one thing in common: somebody calls them "mother." In honor of Mother's Day, here's a countdown of the 10 Most Memorable Mothers in Tams-Witmark Shows!
10. Mammy Yokum from LI'L ABNER
Feisty, earthy, and outspoken, Li'l Abner's mother is an inventor (Yokumberry Tonic) and a prizefighter. But she always takes care of her boy.
Memorable quote: "I does the preferrin' around here… and what I prefers, you concurs!"
9. Anna Smith from MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS
Described as "a good and loving mother," Mrs. Smith may be the most decent person on our list. As head of a wholesome turn-of-the-century suburban family, Anna brings warmth, humor, and love to the entire household as the Smith family prepares for the glorious World's Fair.
Memorable quote: "It's difficult to fall in love sensibly."
8. Lottie Child from CRAZY FOR YOU
This New York society matron is determined to marry off her son—to any wealthy girl other than his controlling fiancée, Irene. But cosmopolitan Lottie winds up finding her own romance with a homespun property owner in Deadrock, Nevada.
Memorable quote:
IRENE: When [Bobby's] married to me, he won't need an allowance.
LOTTIE: No, he'll need a psychiatrist.
7. Millicent Winter from NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT
Like Lottie Childs, Millicent Winter appears to be a respectable if opinionated society dame who disapproves of her son's choices in love. But as it turns out, she's one tough dame with a big secret: During Prohibition, this mother has just the right spirits to maintain her social standing.
Memorable quote (to her son's wife, a dancer): "I saw you on stage once. I wasn't sure if you were dancing or having a seizure."
6. The Mother Superior (Sister Mary Regina) from the NUNSENSE series, including NUNCRACKERS
Though she's Reverend Mother to the Little Sisters of Hoboken, Sister Mary Regina actually grew up in a circus family. She may attempt to appear stern and imperious, but the Reverend Mother's show biz pizzazz and playful sense of humor always shine through.
Memorable quote: "Good Lord, deliver me. There may not be a lot to drink at this party, but we've certainly got a lot of mixed nuts."
5. Doris MacAfee from BYE BYE BIRDIE
The picture of 1950s suburban maternity, Doris MacAfee typifies the wholesome American ideal, right alongside apple pie and Sammy Kaye. This humble homemaker is patient, crafty, decent, and understanding… and she has a bit of a crush on Conrad Birdie.
Memorable quote: "Yesterday I was a mother. Today I'm a pal."
4. Mrs. Brice from FUNNY GIRL
A down-to-earth immigrant on New York's Lower East Side, Fanny Brice's mother is no Park Avenue socialite. But she's a real gem: hardworking, frank, and just a bit playful. Sensible and grounded, Mrs. Brice is the perfect balance to her flighty daughter Fanny.
Memorable quote (about the playboy Nicky Arnstein): "Gorgeous. He reminds me of Fanny's papa, my ex… also gorgeous. And wherever he is, he should only stay there."
3. Mame Dennis from MAME
She's irreverent, she's outrageous… she's your Auntie Mame! Okay, Mame Dennis is not technically Patrick's mother, but this eccentric and adventurous New York socialite discovers her maternal side and embraces it with all the passion and fervor she can muster. The ultimate single mother, Mame Dennis earns an exalted place on our list of great moms.
Memorable quote: "Life's a banquet. And most poor sons-of-b****es are starving to death!"
2. Mae Peterson from BYE BYE BIRDIE
Is there any mother more intrusive, more guilt-inducing, more melodramatic than Mae? Meek Albert Peterson's domineering mother is the ultimate meddling mom… she'll stop at nothing to make her son miserable. Undoubtedly the worst mother on our list, she is nonetheless the #2 most memorable.
Memorable quote, after Albert tells her he loves Rosie:
"By the way, dear, when you get back be sure to stop in the kitchen, take my head out of the oven, and turn off the gas… I don't want to run up a bill."
1. "Mama" Rose from GYPSY
Mama's talkin' loud, Mama's doin' fine. Brassy, outspoken, and ruthlessly ambitious, Rose will stop at nothing to launch her children into stardom. Obsessed with fame and material success, this "Mama" is hardly maternal, but there's no doubt she's the mother of them all.
Memorable quote: "You can do it… Mama is gonna see to it!"
Happy Mother's Day from Tams-Witmark!

Surfboard with setting sun ,1980. Anthony Friedkin is a Californian surf photographer with an artist's eye, and didn't dwell on the commercial side of surf photography. A surfer himself since he was young, I think some of his most successful photos are reflective and personal moments of being out there on the water. Photos like Surfboard with setting sun and whitewater wall are such simple ideas most photographers probably overlook them, but Friedkin has made them powerful and memorable. Woman by the pool has a very different feel, almost like a fashion shot, at some swanky 70s Beverly Hills country club. Woman by the pool, 1975

Bing Health Maps is a new Bing Map App that provides statistical information for the entire United States by county to visualize healthy (and not-so-healthy) parts of the country to help you make healthier decisions. Bing Health Maps is very straightforward to use – (1) Select a state and, (2) Select a Community Health Indicator. The map will re-center on the respective state and color-code the counties within that state based on unit-based reporting. You can select health indicators such as Birth Indicators (low birth weight, premature births, births to women under 18, etc.); Death Measures (homicide, lung cancer, stroke, etc.) or Health Risk Factors (obesity, smokers, high blood pressure, etc.). If the opacity doesn't suit your fancy there's a slider to increase or decrease it. Once the map is loaded with the respective counties shaded you can click on any county to get all of the factors listed under the Community Health Indicator list all in one popup for that county.

Whatever else may be said of Malibu, the place where the movie queens grow their sunburn, there is one thing that you have to hand it: it is probably the finest beach ever created by God. About a half hour's drive up the coast from Santa Monica, and not more than an hour from the studios of Hollywood, Westwood, and Culver City, it lies between two snubby points of land, and swings in for about a mile, a perfect arc of crisp yellow sand. This is free from shells, stones, and weed. It is also free from mud, that invisible deposit of fine silt which on most beaches causes the water to turn to coffee at the very point where you enter it. Here the water remains clear, even in its last scurrying rush at your feet. The bottom drops off evenly, so that the surf comes in with beautiful precision. Far out, a swell appears, and breaks into a curling lip. This spreads, until there is a wall of water a quarter of a mile long, which comes in slowly, and gets higher as it comes. Then it smashes down, and sends a smother of foam sliding up the sands. This recedes, and for a minute or more there is quiet, with the ocean still as a pond. Then the sea stirs again, there is another swell, and the performance is repeated. Each swell gives a strictly solo number, with entrance, build-up, punch-line, and tag all complete. While it is on, no other swells appear to crab its act.
They roll in, curiously enough, from the south, not the west: when you sit in the sand, you don't stare at China across the Bay, but at Rockefeller Ridge, or whatever it was that Byrd discovered on his Antarctic trip. That is because the west coast of the United States does not run north and south, but northwest and southwest, and at this point goes off on a slant which runs almost exactly east and west. Thus there are never any lengthening shadows on this beach, any hour of deep purple relaxation, with gulls white against the sea, and distant liners showing all their colors like models under glass. The sun is out there, over the ocean, until it goes down suddenly and abrupt night sets in. While it is there, it is always high noon, and even the water has the restless glare that goes with that hour. As the sun is beyond it, it has a vivid green translucence, and when a big comber breaks, a rainbow hangs all ashimmer, giving you a momentary feeling of snow-blindness. The gulls and the ships, having their shady side toward you, are a somber and startling black, and appear greatly exaggerated in size. It is dazzling, a little wearisome, and more than a little unreal: it has that quality, whatever it is, that marks off the Pacific Ocean from all other oceans.
Yet you can't say that it is not beautiful, any more than you can say that certain other creations of God, here visible pretty much as God made them, are not beautiful. Isn't Sylvia Sidney beautiful? And Janet Gaynor? And Joan Bennett? And Betty Williams? And all the others of the same gilded profession? Are they the less beautiful that they wear skimpy bathing suits, consisting chiefly of thin ribbons crossing areas of orange sunburn? All I can say is, they look beautiful to me, and the less they have on the more beautiful they look. They blend in with the seascape, being in much the same key; they too are dazzling, a little wearisome, and more than a little unreal; they too have that quality, that suggestion of having stepped out of somebody's fever dream, that goes with the Pacific Ocean and no other ocean. I suppose the same could be said of Ronald Colman, John Gilbert, Clive Brook, Warner Baxter, and other males who here hold leases. I hear they are beautiful, and God knows they are strange. But here I must call a halt, and ring down the curtain on this exercise in rhapsodical prose. Regardless of what you see, when you gaze on these gentlemen clad in even less than the ladies wear, all I see is hair; and this brings me with a bump to the hard, every-day realities, which are, to wit:
(a) Granted that this is a witching spot, is it yet so witching that it is worth $400 a foot? And,
(b) If not, did somebody take these pulchritudinous suckers for a ride? And,
(c) If so, what do they get out of it, now that they have been took?
The answer to the first question, of course, lies in the realm of opinion, so I shall merely note that at $400 a foot, a 30-foot lot costs $12,000; that $12,000 is almost exactly the amount required to cover such a lot with $1 bills; that this is a windy spot to make jigsaw puzzles out of United States currency: the bills might blow away, or the sand might blow away, or both might blow away—I note these points, and leave the reader to form any opinion that he likes. The answer to the second question takes us back many, many years, as far back, indeed, as the year 1926. It was at this time that Mrs. May K. Rindge reached a crisis in her affairs.
Mrs. Rindge is a widow, whose husband had left her with great beauty, a thorough knowledge of school teaching acquired at Marblehead, Mass., and the Rancho Topango Malibu Sequit, more or less paid for. Now a rancho, even a small rancho, and all paid for, is something of a problem for a woman. The cooks get sick, the hands get sick, the bulls get sick, and then they all get well and start to fight. But when it is a Rancho Topango Malibu Sequit, and runs for twenty-four miles along the coast, and in addition to the cooks, the hands, and the bulls, there are ships getting wrecked every month or so, and wet sailors tracking sand all over the place, shouting that they are a cook and a captain bold and the mate of the Nancy Brig, and notes coming due at the bank, and the lighthouse keeper wigwagging that his daughter Nellie has the measles, and bugs getting into the fruit trees; and when, in addition to all this, the State of California gets absurd notions of where to put the road, and you have to go to war with it—then a rancho ceases to be a problem, and becomes a downright bore. I said war, and I mean war. The State of California sent its road builders out, and Mrs. Rindge sent her guards out, and there was in-fighting and out-fighting, with shots. In the end, the State of California won the war, and built the road, and Mrs. Rindge didn't like it much, as she is a woman rather inclined to have her own way.
Still, it wasn't these things that brought on the crisis, for after all, cooks, hands, bulls, sailors, measles, bugs, and wars all come to an end some time: you win or you lose, and it is over. What produced the crisis was the bonds. After the road was built, people leased land, and then the varlets demanded water, and water runs in pipes, and pipes cost money. So Mrs. Rindge sold bonds, and once you have bonds there is no end to them. Every six months they demand interest, and if the interest isn't paid, it is bad all around. So Mrs. Rindge faced a crisis, and it was at this time that she met one Harold G. Ferguson, a real estate man of Los Angeles, who had an idea. Why not develop that stretch of very charming beach, that lay about midway of the rancho, into a beach colony? Mrs. Rindge was willing, but on one condition: the land must be leased, not sold. Bonds or no bonds, she would not break up the rancho.
So Mr. Ferguson chopped the place into lots, and sent Mr. Art A. Jones out to peddle the leases. Mr. Jones is the real genius of Malibu Beach. He is a tall young man, sharp of face, and still sharper of eye, who looks a little like Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. He takes it going, coming, crosswise, and on the bias. You may get an idea how talented he is when he was able to dispose of the leases at all. For in all truth, it is coming pretty thick to ask a man to lease sand at $30 a month, build a house on it, and then at the end of ten years have nothing but the privilege of loading his house on a truck and hauling it away. Yet Mr. Jones persevered, and at the end of a few months had a dozen or more lessors signed up.
And then, in 1927, history was made in one fell swoop. Miss Anna Q. Nilsson rented a lot. This may not sound like history, yet in fact, it is. For Miss Anna Q. Nilsson was a moving picture actress, and it is a peculiarity of moving picture actresses that as soon as one of them does something, all the rest do exactly the same thing, not stopping to reason why. You might think this would keep them hopping around at a lively rate, but it doesn't, for it is not often that one of them thinks up something, or even thinks. Miss Anna Q. Nilsson rented a lot, and then Miss Marie Prevost rented a lot, and then a dozen more of them rented lots, and then some actors rented lots, and some supervisors. So Malibu Beach was going over with a bang, and the question of the bond issue, at any rate, eased up quite a bit.
Still, Mr. Jones was not happy. What depressed him was not that the thing had gone over, but that it had gone over too well. These people, he saw, were able to pay much more than $30 a month for lots, and it was the apparent impossibility of getting more than $30 out of them, now that the project had been launched on that basis, that made him melancholy. But then Mrs. O'Leary's cow got into it. The fire started from defective wiring at No. 83, what is now John Gilbert's house, on October 26, 1929. It spread. Actors and actresses rushed from their homes in night clothes, frantic to know what to do about it. One rushed in to rescue his private stock. All rushed in to rescue their private stock. This was all they did about it. Twenty-nine houses went up in flames that night, but when, came the dawn, Mr. Jones assembled the lessors together, he had a proposal to make to them. They would all, he pointed out, want to rebuild. They would all want to rebuild on a much more impressive scale than the $2,500 cottages they had had before the fire. But they would certainly not want to rebuild thus impressively on the basis of leases which would expire in 1936. In view of this, the company would take back the old leases, and issue new ones, running until 1941, and do this at only a slightly higher rental, say $75 a month.
This took them by surprise, but a supervisor took out a pencil and did some figuring. A supervisor, in case you don't know, is one who takes complete charge of a moving picture, and commands its destiny from script to cutting room. He is always employed for his shrewd business judgment. And on a thing of this sort, a supervisor figures this way: If a lease costs $75 a month, it must be a lot better lease than one which costs only $30 a month. The supervisor signed. All signed, and then rushed off to Hollywood to tell what a marvelous new bargain they had made.
Thus Malibu rose phoenix-like from its ashes, and within a few months was a thing of beauty and joy. Mr. Jack Warner spent $100,000 on his cottage, and very pretty it is, too. Mr. Robert Z. Leonard spent $60,000. Others spent paltry $50,000's, and $40,000's, and $25,000's, and very few, as Mr. Jones points out, spent less than $8,000. It was at this point that Mr. Jones laid down a rule: all exterior plans must be approved by him. This was to keep the architecture within tasteful limits, and prevent such objectionable things as flat roofs. I must say that Malibu, with its peaked roofs, well chosen paint, and general air of good taste, appeals to the eye more than most places in this section of the country: its houses look like houses, and not like stables, shops, or hot-dog stands, as do many of the dwellings nearby. Yet it would be idle to deny that Mr. Jones's rule makes it advisable to employ a builder of Mr. Jones's designation. Whether Mr. Jones takes a commission from the builder he designates, I must confess I don't know.
Things were very rosy, then, and all the more rosy since news of the new leases had brought a second big wave of lessors, so that the cottages now numbered more than a hundred. Still, Mr. Jones was not satisfied. He organized one or two little things, such as the Malibu Beach Patrol. This affords watchman service, fireman service, and garbage removal service, and the rate is $10 a month. He organized a lifeguard service, charging $20 a year for it. Also, he founded the Malibu Inn, which is a combination shoe-shine, magazine, newspaper, postcard, soda water, and hot-dog service, and the social center of Malibu.
Still, he brooded, and he brooded pretty much alone, for Mr. Ferguson had had the bad taste to get sent to jail, and Mrs. Rindge was off attending to oil wells. Oil wells are a lot of trouble, too. And then, once more, Mrs. O'Leary's cow booted the lantern, and Mr. Jones was ready for his final stroke. While the ashes were still hot, he decreed that in 1941 the lessors would be privileged to buy the land at $400 a foot, or $12,000 a lot; and he decreed, in addition, that if any leases should be sold, he would have to approve the new lessors. This had the effect of keeping out the riff-raff, and it also made it advisable to employ Mr. Jones as agent when selling a lease.
Well, it was a supervisor, as usual, who saw the force of this logic, and he reasoned this way: if they gave you the sand, it couldn't be any good; but when they charge $12,000 for it, it must have production value. It is the shrewd business sense of the supervisors which has put the movies where they are today. So the supervisors signed, and most of the others signed, and Mrs. Rindge, when it was pointed out to her that 117 times $12,000 equals $1,354,000, conquered her distaste for parting with land, and approved the new leases.
Thus the history of this Elysian spot, but we still have to ascertain what the residents get out of it, now that they are there. To get at this, let us spy on one of these lovely ladies, to see what she does with her time. She wakes up, I hear, about 7:30, summons the maid, and has breakfast. She gets up, bathes, dresses, and drives off to the studio. At the studio, she works all day, save for one hour in which she has lunch at the studio lunchroom without removing her make-up. At six o'clock, she drives back to Malibu, and on arrival there, dresses for dinner in a fetching suit of blue pajamas.
Dinner over, she has a cigarette, and starts for the party. There will be several parties going on, but she attends only one. If she is a Paramount lady, she goes where Paramount is going that night; if she is an M. G. M. lady, she goes where M. G. M. is going, and so on. Next year, when her contract is sold, she will go to an entirely different set of parties. Arrived at the party, she has a brace of cocktails, here served at any hour, and surveys the evening. This is what she sees:
3 Extra girls in evening dresses, grateful for having been invited down.
4 Actresses in blue pajamas.
1 Actress in bathing suit.
1 Actress in ceremonial Chinese robe, weighing ten pounds: cost, $2,300.
1 Man from New York, in dinner coat.
4 Men in sweaters and knickers.
4 Supervisors in middle of floor, shooting dice.
This is the party, except for the host and hostess, who haven't shown up yet, having forgotten about it. It is not only the party as is, but it is all the party there is going to be. There will be no dancing. There will be no necking. There will be no light, infectious gayety, with merry madcaps deciding to jump in the ocean at 1 A. M. There will be nothing but dice, drinks, and conversation. Yet our lady is not feazed. She examines it with a fishy eye for a few minutes, then decides that she likes it. She kneels down, puts her arm around a supervisor, and announces she has come to bring him luck. He replies that Christ, he needs it, baby. She joins the game, wins $200, cannily quits when the quitting is good, and joins the conversation. It goes like this:
"Well, he's got a hit."
"And who wouldn't? They buy him Dinner at Eight, paid a hunnerd and ten thousand dollars for it, Louis B. Mayer told me so himself and showed me the check, paid a hunnerd and ten grand for it, and them they give him Dressler, Beery, Harlow, Tracy, Evans, Hersholt, Morley, Tone, Cukor, and both Barrymores."
"And Robson."
"He was to get Robson, and then he didn't get her."
"He's got Robson."
"All right, then, he's got Robson. Well, who wouldn't have a hit?"
"He can have it."
"That's right. They got to sell it to Siam, Iceland, and the Sailor's Snug Harbor to work off that nut."
"That picture was sunk before it started."
So it goes for upwards of three hours, in the tone of voice of a quarterback in the last five minutes of a desperate football game. But our lady hardly notices it, and by 11:30 she has had a fine time, and takes her departure to go to bed. As to where she goes to bed, it would perhaps be indelicate to inquire. The main point is that she leaves by the back door, and goes to bed somewhere, and that she hasn't been out on the beach yet. And so with the next day and the next, and on until Sunday, when of course she must run in to Hollywood for a change of air and some news.
Well, if she spends her days at the studio, and her evenings at the party, and her nights in bed, and her Sundays in Hollywood, when is it that she enjoys this ravishing beach? That is the whole point. She doesn't. I have been by this beach a number of times, and I have been on it a number of times, and I swear I have never yet seen or heard of more than three people on it at one time. It is the most deserted beach this side of Paradise. The only living creature that seems really to enjoy it is a chow dog. He stands there and barks at the waves to go back. Mr. Jones motions to them to roll in. And they roll.

The waiting game
You know that feeling when something has gone wrong in your life and it's a few months down the line? You learn to come to terms with what happened but there will be the odd day, the more recent the unfortunate event the more regular these will be, where you just feel lost, and down, and frustrated. I'm beginning to realise that moving country entails the same concoction of emotions. The move to Sweden has become a waiting game with little annoyances thrown in. A large part of me doesn't want the day of departure to come and another side of me is desperate to rip that plaster (band-aid to my American friends) off, step on the plane, and begin my Swedish adventure. Note, if I ever use that term again please hit me, throw me off a bridge – or for the more polite – ask me to refrain from clichés.
There still seems a lot of little things to do. Pack, sort out the relevant documentation, perhaps glance at a timetable of events for the first week, get an EU medical card, say goodbye to people, then say goodbye to more people, have what I've come to term 'the Last Supper' with my girlfriend (Julie is her name, just thought I'd throw that in there, an introduction I mean), and take a breath, look around, and make my peace with Scotland. Anyway, some of these will be fun, some emotional, some time-consuming, some annoying. I'm not a details person.
Am I methodically working my way through the above list? In a word, 'no'. Instead I've read for pleasure, read for research, gone for a walk, enjoyed the sun, gone for a swim – well down a flume and traversed some waves – drank coffee, eaten Chinese food, cooked fajitas, written blogs, read up on football, watched some football, done some work, shopped, and shopped, and shopped, and done anything which comes to mind that isn't in the list of 'things to do for Sweden'. Currently I'm sitting in a pub under my old flat: a pub which is providing free internet, mediocre coffee, and a not so alluring smell of human faeces.
I'll get around to the organisational side of things. For now I'm feeling fairly contented, enjoying glancing at the International Buddy Page for Uppsala University and awaiting my inevitable fate.

DENVER (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2018 – Rudy Project's new website is the go-to online location for shoppers in North America and the Caribbean, where they can explore "Made in Italy" eyewear, helmets, and gear. The new is designed with a seamless shopping experience in mind – users can sort products by color, price, sport, and more, to find the latest and most technically cool eyewear available in North America, coupled with user accounts for a personalized shopping experience.
"This is a full redesign," said Alysia Kamrath, Director of Digital Marketing. "We looked very carefully at feedback from our customers and athletes and thought critically about what we wanted our customer experience to be. This site is designed with all of that at the forefront."
The entire site has been built to allow for a frictionless customer experience. New and returning customers will be able to find eyewear and helmets based on their sport of choice, and can sort by color, price, and availability. Users can seamlessly order prescription sunglasses based on their Rx and sporting needs, from a whole line of optical adapters and interchangeable Rx lenses for sport, to a full line of lifestyle frames for everyday use. More features include a responsive order tracking system where customers will receive up-to-the-minute order processing and shipping notifications, customer accounts for effortless returns, and a full section of spare parts and accessories for Rudy Project sunglasses and helmets, so that long time Rudy fans can keep their beloved sunglasses and helmets functional for as long as possible.
Mobile customers will be thrilled to see the entire site has been optimized for a mobile first experience, to make the transition between email, social media, and the website seamless. Mobile customers will experience collapsible navigation, responsive order forms, and compact product pages for easy and educated shopping.
The site also heavily features Rudy Project's international family of talented athletes, including pro cycling teams Lotto-Soudal, TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank, Trek-Segafredo, Bahrain Merida, and Jelly Belly Cycling p/b Maxxis. Also making an appearance is Heather Jackson, the top female American triathlete in long distance, and Ben Kanute, who had a break out year last year by coming in second at IRONMAN® 70.3 World Championships. Rudy Project is also proudly showcasing world-class Nordic ski athletes, ultra-runner and Patagonia ambassador Jeff Browning, and history's first long distance African American female speed skater to make the US Team. Customers can browse athlete picks, read athlete bios, and get to know why some of the world's top athletes have chosen Rudy Project. "There's a reason Rudy Project is the number one helmet in Kona," said Joe Lawhorn, an athlete who qualified for Race Across America on a fixed gear bike and set the 24 hour fixed gear record for distance while wearing Rudy Project's Boost 01 helmet. "The technology, comfort, and technology that goes into their helmets sets the industry standard." Rudy Project notched its seventh consecutive year being the number one helmet in Kona at the IRONMAN® World Championships this past October, outstripping the nearest competitor brand Giro by 1,199 helmets over that time period. It's no question why the world's top triathletes select Rudy Project for the most important race day of their lives.
"This is by far the most extensive digital redesign we've done since 1998," said Paul Craig, President and Co-Founder of Rudy Project North America. "We really wanted to ensure that our customer's online interface was as rich and enjoyable as the experiences they have using our products, whether that's going on a bike ride, running a marathon, or tackling a triathlon. And I'm thrilled with and proud of the end result. I am sure our customers will simply love the new site and how mobile friendly it is. It is definitely a giant step forward in offering our users the best customer service and experience."
The new site can be found at http://www.rudyprojectna.com – customers will still be able to access http://www.e-rudy.com for the time being and make purchases on both sites, depending on their preferred interface. The new site contains a multitude of rich media and history about the brand, including photos, videos, and educational materials about the unique technologies that set Rudy Project's eyewear and helmets apart, like the Hexocrush dual-density foam in the new Racemaster road helmet, and the hydrophobic, UV-resistant coatings that make the new Polar 3FX HDR lens line ideal for any sporting application. Customers can easily find the latest and greatest from Rudy Project, such as the quick change Sintryx mountain-bike specific frame, and the new Tralyx SLIM, specially designed for women.
"We'll continue to add more and more features that we know our customers will enjoy," said Kamrath. "But we want to make it an iterative process – we'll keep adapting and innovating based on our customer's needs."
