My sister got married the first weekend in August. So, June and July were filled with planning and celebrating, cooking and decorating for all of the wedding festivities (hence the long gap in between my blog posts). It was a LOT of work and a LOT of fun, all fueled by love for my sister and the desire to send her into this new life season with all the celebration fun we could muster. I really enjoyed the creative process involved in the parties because it involved preparing yummy food, making spaces beautiful and was motivated by the desire to make my sister feel special and loved.
We discovered that my mom and I make a great team—my creativity and systematic planning filling in the gaps between my mom's visionary ideas and her detail-oriented thinking. The two of us pulled off a beautiful bridal shower and I, as the Maid of Honor (and only bridesmaid), hosted a fun bachelorette party weekend. Then, the wedding… Even with all of the crazy-long list of things to get done, the threat of thunderstorms and high relational tension in the air, it was a magical evening! My sister and her new husband felt wholly loved, the guests enjoyed themselves and it all kind of looked (and felt) like a fairy tale. And, best of all, we all still like each other!
* * * The Bridal Shower * * *
After an intense week of planning and cooking and decorating, the day finally came! My mom and I welcomed guests into the adult Sunday School room at our church that we had transformed into an elegant celebration venue. White lights twinkled from the ceiling and food tables. Purple and teal paper lanterns lit up the guest tables and brightly colored gifts were soon piled high in the corner. While women arrived and mingled, they could put in their best guess for the number of magnet wedding favors in the jar in hopes of winning a prize. After everyone settled, we invited them table-by-table to help themselves to the heaping bowls and platters of food.
For lunch, we offered chicken salad and egg salad served with croissants. We also prepared broccoli salad, veggies with ranch dip and hummus and fruit skewers. We had the traditionally-required punch, along with lemon water and strawberry water. Crazy cake cupcakes with buttercream frosting and sugar sprinkles in my sister's wedding colors made a sweet and colorful end to the meal. (Recipes and links below.)
As my sister later opened her gifts, the guests played Bride Bingo and won prizes. The time of gift opening was also really special and the highlight of the shower for me. Because the guests came from many different seasons and circles of my sister's life, as each gift was being opened, the giver introduced herself and how they knew Clarissa. We enjoyed digging out memories from childhood camping trips, small group Bible studies, college times, first jobs, and road trips. Each person had poured into my sister's life and shaped her character and faith in such unique and beautiful ways. We all got to see a glimpse of the beauty of God's workmanship in my sister and His guidance in each step of her journey.
Each guest left the special event with a full heart and a bottle of hand soap (my mom insisted that the shower favors be useful and pretty-smelling!). And, my sister felt spoiled and loved.
* * * The Bachelorette Party * * *
My sister is an Art Therapist. And, she has drawn and painted and sewn and collaged for as long as I can remember. With this in mind, I threw her an Art Gala themed Bachelorette party. It was such fun to plan and prepare! I designed elegant teal and gold invitations, inviting the ten guests to a semi-formal event at my parents' home. I asked them to bring a piece of art they created that was inspired by my sister, her fiancé and their upcoming wedding. Each guest also brought a "decoration" for the lingerie tree.
Each woman arrived dressed in her favorite cocktail dress, arms laden with art pieces and sleeping bags. We set up each piece of art in the gallery (aka dining room), labelled with number cards. When everyone arrived, we took a group photo and I ducked out to the kitchen to prepare the hot food. While I baked brie and stuffed mushrooms, the guests took photos with the "photo booth" props I prepared.
When the food was ready, the Art Gala officially begun. The ladies enjoyed cocktail meatballs, hummus filled veggies, tortilla pinwheels, shrimp cocktail, savory dips and herbed goat cheese with crackers along with the baked brie and stuffed mushrooms all adorning gold plates. We also had fresh peach and strawberry bellinis (made with seltzer water for those who were breastfeeding or pregnant) and New York State wine as we wandered among the contributions in the love-themed gallery. My art piece was a series of decorated "J"s to correspond to the "C"s (the first letters in my sister's and her fiancee's names) my sister already had made and hang on her wall while she was single. As we munched our appetizers, we filled out cards, granting points to each piece for continuity with the theme, creativity, originality, use of medium and visual-emotional appeal. Later, several won Lindt chocolate bar prizes.
Throughout the remainder of the evening, we laughed at bachelorette party Mad Libs, played "guess who brought which piece of lingerie", dipped Rice Krispie Treats and marshmallows in decadent chocolate fondue and painted wine glasses.
Several guests spent the night and we enjoyed a slow morning swapping memories and re-reading Mad Libs from the night before while eating a leisurely breakfast of broccoli cheese quiche, banana chocolate chip muffins and made-to-order fruit smoothies. (Recipes and links below.)
We all had a lot of fun celebrating! But, especially sweet for me was watching my sister revel in the presence of her friends and seeing them delight in and lavish love on her in return. I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of creating an environment that made those special moments possible.
Links and recipes for the Bridal Shower:
Chicken Salad—boneless chicken breasts lightly seasoned with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning oven-baked then diced; minced red onion; minced celery; Craisins; a generous amount of mayonnaise; salt, pepper and poultry seasoning to taste; a couple of splashes of red wine vinegar to add some brightness to the flavor.
Egg Salad—chopped hard boiled eggs, Miracle Whip (this is the secret to extra yumminess!), yellow salad mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper
Broccoli Salad—We roughly used Paula Deen's recipe on Food Network, but added much less mayo, cheese and sugar and a little bit less red onion and raisins. We used golden raisins and cut up the broccoli in small bite-sized pieces. We actually forgot the tomatoes altogether. Oops! It still tasted amazing!
Fruit Punch—We, again, used Paula Deen's recipe on Food Network (Thanks, Paula for the yumminess!), but added much less sugar. It was strong and tart, but really good (and I don't usually care for punch).
Strawberry Water—Just add fresh for frozen sliced strawberries to tap or filtered water and let it set for an hour or two. The water turns light pink with a hint of strawberry sweetness. And, it's so pretty! (You can use blueberries or raspberries for more fruity colors and flavors).
Crazy Cake Cupcakes— Dry whisk together 3 Cups all purpose flour, 2/3 Cup cocoa, 2 Cups sugar, 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking soda. Slowly add the wet ingredients and beat with a whisk or electric mixer just until fully combined: 2 Cups hot water, 2/3 Cup vegetable oil, 2 tsp white vinegar and 2 tsp vanilla. Pour into 24 cupcake liners (or a lightly greased 13×9" pan) and bake at 350o until a toothpick to the center comes out clean.
Buttercream Frosting—This delightful frosting came from Danielle at Live Well Bake Often and we piped it on the cupcakes with a star pastry tip.
Links and recipes for the Bachelorette Party:
Mini Cocktail Meatballs—After reading a lot of recipes and reviews, I decided to make Crowd Pleasing Party Meatballs from Taste of Home and the meatball baking method and sauce from Once Upon a Chef. I pre-cooked the meatballs the night before, then placed them in a foil-lined pan. I also made the sauce the night before, poured it over the pan, stirred a bit and stuck the whole pan in the fridge overnight. The next evening, while the guests were taking photos, I put the pan in the oven to warm them through and thicken the sauce. Everyone loved them!
Spinach Artichoke Dip—Maybe it's a little outdated for a party, but cheesy spinach artichoke dip with whole grain crackers is by far one of my favorite special-occasion snacks. And, I knew my sister enjoyed it too, so I was willing to forget party trends and go for it. I always trust the amazing recipes that come out of Ree Drummond's kitchen, so I (mostly) followed the Pioneer Woman recipe. I realized halfway into the preparation the afternoon of the party that I hadn't bought enough cream cheese for this recipe! I substituted sour cream for half and it turned out just fine.
Party Pinwheels—These are really easy to prepare and can be made ahead. Ingredients can be adjusted to your taste once you have the creamy base. I left out the celery and black olives and added red and yellow peppers instead. I stirred the peppers right into the cream cheese base and wrapped them up in spinach tortillas.
Baked Brie—Just removed from the package and baked until warm and gooey. I served it with sliced pear, grapes and French baguette slices.
Roasted Garlic, Onion and Red Bell Pepper Dip—I love this dip from Epicurious, partially because everything gets roasted and then thrown into the food processor. It tastes amazing with baby carrots.
Stuffed Mushrooms—Sorry, I have no recipe because I just throw ingredients in until it tastes good and has the right texture. This time, I removed the stems from the mushrooms and carved a little bit further down with a spoon so I could add more filling. I minced then sautéed the mushroom pieces with minced white onion and minced garlic in butter with a bit of Italian seasoning. I added bread crumbs, freshly grated parmesan cheese and a bit more melted butter until it held together when pressed with the back of a spoon. I added a pinch of salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder as needed. I stuff them as full as I can, sprinkle them with some freshly grated asiago cheese and bake them at 350o until the cheese melts (about 15-20 minutes).
Fresh Fruit Bellinis—I pureed fresh strawberries and fresh peaches, separately, with a touch of lemon juice and just enough sugar to enhance the flavor. I put the orange and pink fruit purees in little glass pitchers and let the guests add as much as they wanted to their champagne, Prosecco or seltzer water.
New York State wine—The Finger Lakes region in the middle of the state is sprinkled with wineries, offering a myriad of whites, reds and roses to suit any palate. Driving along the lakeshore and stopping for tastings and a picnic with a beautiful view is such a great way to spend the day. My favorite wineries are Americana Vineyards and Glenora Wine Cellars.
Chocolate Fondue—By the time dessert came around, I was a little tired. I decided to go really simple with the recipe. Dark chocolate bars (I think Dove is the best!) broken up into small chunks went in a small glass bowl with a pat of butter and a few splashes of heavy cream. I microwaved it on medium heat for several minutes, stirring a few times in the process. I served it with pound cake squares, Rice Krispie Treats, strawberries, marshmallows, banana slices and pretzel rods.
Banana Muffins—This recipe from my friend Lisa is amazingly versatile. I usually make it with bananas, but it also works with peaches, apples and mangoes. Mix together 1 ¾ cups flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup oil, 1 egg, ½ cup milk, ½ tsp vanilla and 1 cup mashed banana (or other fruit, either mashed or in chunks). Combine the wet and dry ingredients and add chocolate chips or nuts as desired. Pour into cupcake papers (makes 12-15) or a lightly greased and floured 10" cake pan. Bake at 350o for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Crustless Quiche—Sprinkle bacon bits, small pieces of steamed broccoli, and a generous amount of cheddar cheese into a greased pie pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (I used about 10 eggs with ½ cup of milk), salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Pour the egg mixture over the goodies in the pie pan and bake at 350o until the top turns golden brown (about 40 minutes).

10 February 2020
Despite the challenge of farming some of the worst soils in the UK, agricultural inputs costing double of those sourced on the mainland and the tempestuous weather, crofting on the Hebridean islands of Lewis and Harris is in the ascendancy.
A report on the state of crofting on the isles of Lewis and Harris has been released by SAC Consulting, part of Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) .
Iain Macmillan, manager of the SRUC's office in Stornaway runs 80 breeding ewes on his own croft. He said of the new report: "I've seen a positivity about crofting here that I've not seen in my lifetime. Crofters are working to build sheds, rear animals and buy their inputs together, as well as diversifying into additional new business ideas.
"The mix of people of all ages and backgrounds, plus the need to work together to overcome the adversities here is having interesting consequences, like redundant crofts coming back into production."
In the latest History Scotland we take a look at the chequered agricultural career of notororious Clearances land agent Patrick Sellar.

'Colossal' costs
Farming the "rubbish" land on the islands is a constant wrangle for crofters and the main thrust of the advice given by Iain and his colleague, Duncan Macintyre, as they explain: "The costs of farming here are colossal, a big bale of silage costing £20 on the mainland is currently trading for £50 per bale here; and a pallet of feed will cost around £45 more," he adds. "There are two wholesalers here trying to create a fairer market, but it simply costs more to produce or get products here."
But, as is often the case with adversity, people investigate other ways, says Iain: "We're advising crofters who want to buy and store feed together, or house fattening cattle together, to use the Crofting Agricultural Grant Scheme funding to work together, as villagers, to build communal sheds."
Additional grant aid, such as the Croft House Improvement Grant, can also help local communities make remote areas more attractive to live and work, Iain concludes.

Vivre en ville ou à la campagne?
As explained in class, your examination on May 7 will be based on our topic "C'était comme ça". It will include the following two tasks:
1) Two reading comprehension texts related to one of the themes of our current unit, city life versus country life. Both texts will be unseen passages similar in difficulty to the ones we have done previously. Reviewing and acquiring a thorough knowledge of all the vocabulary introduced and encountered during the exploration of this aspect of our unit will be essential to preparing successfully not only for this task but also for your second task.
2) A composition based on the same theme, in which you will have to state and support your position in a well constructed argument.
In class we will spend time looking at some connectors that can be used to improve your writing style and develop it to a more sophisticated level to convince your readers.
Be prepared to use them in your examination paper!

The Drum Fest International Drum Festival has a long-standing tradition in Poland as this year marks its 26th anniversary. Every year in autumn, there is a lot going on: concerts, workshops, competitions, solo recitals – all things connected with drums and drumming. Between October 6 and 8, 2017, there was quite an intensive Drum Fest weekend. All the events took place at the Frederic Chopin Music School in Opole, Poland. All those who attended the event had a great opportunity to see and listen to great artists who were performing for them. The Young Drum Hero contest was the ultimate test for the younger skinsmen, and they all did geat job! The drummers who took over that weekend were: notable sideman, session musician and educator Russ Miller, great Polish extreme metal export Dariusz "Daray" Brzozowski, Polish live and studio ace as well as educator Maciej Gołyźniak, the legendary extreme metal drummer George Kollias, and two great drummers and Roland endorsers – Mariusz Mocarski and Michael Schack. We had a nice chat with the latter right after his presentation of Roland V-Drums instruments. Enjoy this interview!
Michael Schack talks to BeatIt
"I think it was in 1984 or 1985 that I bought my first electronic drum pad. It was a Doctor Boss. One of the very old ones. You only had three modules. I just integrated it into my acoustic setup. At that point, I was at university. I didn't study music, I studied economics. I started playing with some cover bands and I really wanted to make my own sounds and my own songs so, after a little bit of saving and not buying a car, I bought a Roland sampler, which at that time was amazingly expensive. You had the Akai and the Roland and they were like 3000 Euros for 12-bit sound or whatever. It was ridiculous! At the beginning of the 90s, as a really young drummer, I started playing with a band which became quite successful in Belgium and Germany, so I was making a little bit of a name for myself as a blues/funk drummer on acoustic drums. One day, I got a call from Roland because they knew me as a customer from buying the sampler. This is November 1992, so close to 25 years ago. They said: 'We're gonna release a new compact electronic drum set. Would you be interested in trying it out?'. It was a TD-7. A month later, I did my very first demo of a TD-7 for Roland Benelux and Holland. That's how my relationship with Roland became a very close product demonstrator relationship. Through having to learn the instrument, but also integrating some of the pads into my acoustic setup, it just became second nature. I had the opportunity to grow as a drummer along with the development of drumming technology. The drum sets got better, the pads got better, they released a multipad, later, there was another module coming out, all the kick pedals, then, the first SPD-S in 2003. So I was one of the first users, when the SPD-S was still not there, to integrate a DJ sampler in a drum setup. Roland Japan said I couldn't do it. I said: 'Of course I can! Show me a law which says I cannot do this'. Things have evolved since and it's been a lot of fun.
I actually use the V-Drums for live performances. It's not for me, it's not a demonstration instrument. It is something I need for my drumming career – I'm playing with electronic artists in Belgium but also traveling the world and using those V-Drums on stage. So it's not like: 'Oh, he gets paid by Roland!'. No! I need those drum sets to be able to play the music with those artists. Netsky and Milk Inc., for instance. I also played Poland many times with Kate Ryan. It was also on a TD-20, so it's a very natural thing for me.
A lot of people have no idea those acts are actually Belgian though they know the songs. Technotronic is Belgian. The Confetti's – that's a friend of mine, we went to school together in Atwerp, Belgium. Front 242 and Milk Inc., which was also popular at the end of the 90s and at the beginning of the 00s. Milk Inc. was the very first dance act , which means 138 b.p.m., that went totally live playing only electronic musical instruments. At the time, Faithless were also using electronics and playing live but there were acoustic drums played on top of drum samples. A lot of things happened in Belgium back then, absolutely. Now, there's Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. The whole Tomorrowland thing is also from Belgium. But, of course, Holland is also very influential with Nicky Romero, Afrojack, Tiesto. They're all Dutch. I don't know… It's not a coincidence that so many of those dance Djs and producers come from Benelux because the cities are so close together and there's a lot of night life… So there's a lot of influencing going on. People from electronic music labels, like Bonzai Recors, also Belgian, jumped at the opportunity and the audiences liked it. It's like our version of Seattle and grunge. I must say Poland was one of the first countries where dance music was immediately really popular. When the Berlin wall fell, people immediately got into electronic music.
I've also worked with Clouseau, which is slightly different musically but 'Close Encounters' was a hit all over Europe, but not in Belgium. The thing with Clouseau is they normally sing in Dutch and when I played with them they were still doing the Dutch thing. Actually, they were back to it 'cause I joined the live band a year after their English adventure. Now, they are still active and they sell out arenas but only in Belgium and Holland.
There is a big thing happening for me in the coming months. Of course, I'm still the drummer with Netsky. Milk Inc. is not playing right now because there has been the sad passing of the main singer's daughter. I'm going for my solo DJ/drummer concept. I used to have a duo with a good friend of mine, which was called Sky Electric. We played Benelux and Spain. I'm now taking it to the next level. I'm actually gonna stand up on stage behind a V-Drums set and I'm the DJ and the drummer at the same time. I did some festivals in Belgium, I did some things in Holland and I'm really happy because it's kinda taking off. I have no single released, it's just word of mouth, and I play on festival stages as an electronic act. I do my mash-ups and play the drums live and people dance. As long as they dance, it's good. They start standing still, I'm out of work.
I know I bash the hell out of my V-Drums and they really stand that test. With my TD-30 set, which I did 5 years with Netsky with, it's still the same original mesh heads. It's something that is adrenaline-driven. On my YouTube channel people sometimes write: 'Hey, man! You shouldn't play this hard!'. I always say: 'Show me a law which says I cannot do this'. It's my way of movement. Some people are more timid but when I'm behind the drums on stage, I just want to move. As long as my body allows me to, I will always find a way to drum in a more enthusiastic way. Enthusiasm is everything. Not only in drumming but in many things. If you have sex without enthusiasm, nothing will happen. Same for drumming…"

Economic Armageddon: An Ageist Solution July 25, 2011Posted by markswill in About me, Politics, Schmolitics.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I've been feeling my age recently. It may've been because many of my thirty-something friends have been eagerly preparing themselves for summer festivals that I won't be going to – mainly because I don't want to be one of those sad old buggers in tie-dyed t-shirts and sparkly baseball boots who would embarrass me if I was their age, but also because I don't have the stamina, or boundless appetite for drugs, that would've once seen me through a sleepless weekend of loud music and casual sex. Actually, some of those festivals weren't quite of the 24 hour loud music variety, Secret Garden and Port Elliot being two of them, so bah humbug-ism probably had more to do with it.
Anyway, this feeling of creeping mortality was really fuelled by a realisation that the world is so fucked-up that any attempts to put it right, especially by an old fart with a laptop and a bottomless repository of bile, are frankly ridiculous. And from where specifically did this feeling emerge? Well the News International phone hacking scandal and its attendant implications of corrupt police and politicians who, realising that they might just not have to dance attendance to the Murdoch empire for much longer, quickly engaged in sanctimonious denunciations of both that empire and the sleazy supplication it encouraged. And as I pointed out in my last posting, the media's lip-smacking relish to stamp on the Murdochs blinkered them to so much else that was wrong with the world, and was certainly of more social and economic import.
Greece's bankrupt economy and its threat to the euro (which personally I'd like to see flounder, but that's another matter), the famine in the Horn of Africa, the ongoing decline of our own economy and China's steadily increasing influence throughout the world, especially where natural resources essential to its industrial superiority are ensured by its support of weak and corrupt governments whose records in human rights are even worse than their own. It even emerged that they are the favoured contractors to build America's first high-speed (and incidentally, trans-continental) railway: eat your heart out Sarah Palin – although give her her due, she probably thinks China is what you eat your corn-fed steak off.
In my own backyard, our town's major employer, a long established aluminum foundry supplying castings to the car industry, went out of business a few months ago and along with our sole remaining newsagent, the town's only real restaurant (and a cheerful social hub) owned by old and dear friends of mine is now up for sale, joining the list of local business which have disappeared in recent years. These are small punctuation marks in a litany of economic and social decline that my inner Daily Mail reader now assures me is inevitable in an overcrowded, over-leveraged world of diminishing resources governed by greed and subterfuge, however well disguised they still might be.
Fortunately however, I am not entirely alone, and even more happily, some clever folk actually have solutions to the moral and economic crises that bedevil us. One of these is my sometime trailriding pal, Rob D, who recently e-mailed me a solution to at least the perils of aging, and the economic pressure and consequent mental stress it's putting on me as well as my country's economy, which I shall now pass on:
Rob suggested that instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, the government should legislate for what he calls the Patriotic Retirement Plan. In essence, this would pay each of the approx. 10 million people over 50 in the UK work force £1 million severance pay for early retirement but with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. (Consequence: 10 million job openings – unemployment sorted).
2) They MUST buy a new British car. (10 million cars ordered – motor industry sorted).
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage. (Housing crisis sorted).
4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university. (Crime rate sorted, although I'm not so sure of this one).
5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol and tobacco a week… and there's your money back in tax.
Brilliant, eh? And Rob even has an answer to the crime problem: put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in nursing homes.
This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, mobility aids and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly if they fell, or needed assistance, and their clothing would be washed, ironed and returned to them once a week.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell and they'd have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They'd also have access to a library, gym, spiritual counseling and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an outdoor exercise yard and gardens. Each senior could have a PC, a TV, radio and daily phone calls. There'd be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly enforced.
Meanwhile in their erstwhile nursing homes where they'd pay £600.00 per week to live in tiny rooms, the criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised, and have no hope of ever getting out.
Which all makes perfect sense to me… well at least as much sense as anything that comes out of George Osborne's or David Cameron's puffy, privileged, two-faced little mouths.

Spinning Out of Control July 11, 2011Posted by markswill in Media, Politics, Schmolitics.

Such is the pace of revelation that unfolds on almost an hourly basis, I can't even claim that it's tempting to comment on the News of the World hacking scandal. Why would I add my tuppenyworth when just about all the big guns of media and political commentary have and will continue to articulate indignation that for once really is righteous, far more trenchantly and knowledgeably than I ever could? Henry Porter in yesterday's Observer was a stirring exemplar of such tirades.
But during the past week's events I am reminded of the phrase cynically used by the then Transport Minister's spin doctor, Jo Moore, at the time of the 9/11 terrorist outrage, namely that it had been "a good time to bury bad news." The bad news in question? Well there have been two items that especially got my goat, firstly the announcement that Bombardier, Britain's last major (though foreign-owned) manufacturer of railway rolling stock had lost a contract to produce trains for Thameslink to the German company, Siemens with the direct loss of 1400 jobs at their Derby plant and many more thousands at its supply companies. There was some brief sense of outrage in the media: how could we not protect manufacturing jobs and irreplaceable skills in the same way that France, Spain or, well obviously Germany does; how could the Transport Secretary, Phillip Hammond, get away with his callow excuse that his hands were tied in awarding the contract to Siemens because of legislation passed by the last Labour government which demanded 'tax payer value' ?
Had the phone hacking and police bribery scandal not mushroomed beyond the cynical control of the Murdoch empire, some diligent journalists, never mind the odd senior Labour politician, might've taken Hammond to task over this. A little light Googling on my part revealed that the difference in 'tax payer value' between the two Thameslink bids was primarily due to the debt burden of financing it, and due to its complexity I haven't been able to work out if the cost of benefit payments to the thousands directly and indirectly put out of work and the subsequent devaluation of our skills workbase exceeds that amount, but I bet it will. And when we can earmark £8billion in foreign aid, much of it siphoned off by corrupt governments and maladministration, I also bet that David Cameron's facile 'Big Society' polemic will cut even less ice in Derbyshire and what's left of our manufacturing heartland than it already did.
We must not forget that successive Tory governments, which this coalition is by any other name, have been happy to run down manufacturing in the fairly safe knowledge that financial services, media and retail will take up the slack employment-wise. But the events of the past few years clearly demonstrate that this unsound thinking, so if ever a cabinet member with some responsibility for generating taxable income could be accused for short-termism, let alone weasel words, then it is Mr Hammond.
The other unpalatable public announcement uttered with relief if not glee under cover of the NoW scandal last week was by British Gas who told us that households who bought both gas and electricity from them would henceforth, on average, be paying an extra £192, making a total of £1,288 a year. This followed a similar edict from Scottish Energy two weeks ago, the average 17% price hikes apparently justified by "unavoidable rises in the cost of (mainly imported) wholesale energy". A few days after British Gas issued what, after the few remaining providers will now inevitably also raise their tariffs, is virtually a fait accompli, I learnt from the charity, National Energy Action, that £6.1million British families will thus shortly be living in fuel poverty, a rise of 12%.
I'm lucky because although on a low income I personally have neither dependents nor a mortgage to maintain – just an increasingly challenging rent bill – so I can only imagine the anxiety this must be causing families both young and old. Faced with the relentlessly escalating cost of food, transport, education and communications (every child just has to have a mobile phone, games console and soon, a tablet), they must now be seriously wondering if they can afford to heat their homes this coming winter, especially if it's another harsh one… and never mind saving for that increasingly elusive pension.
There's some simple arithmetic to be applied here which, yet again, I find little media and certainly no political appetite for. Higher living costs = less available discretionary spending = more reliance on cheap imported goods = decline of the retail sector, more unemployment, ghostly high streets and diminished balance of payments = lower tax revenues = less money available for welfare, healthcare and pensions. We are seeing undeniable evidence of this spiraling economic decline but nothing done to address its fundamentals. And if any of our public servant/masters needed reminding of how vulnerable their elected majorities are to this they should've read a harrowing feature in yesterday's Sindie, 'Middle Classes Are Britain's New Homeless' which chronicled the 1,000% – yes, that's 1,000% – increase in the number of rough sleepers in London alone (my italics) during the past five years, 59% of the current 3,975 poor souls aged between 25 and 45 years-old, 49% of them lone parents and 20% couples with dependent children.
As my hero Hunter S. Thompson so eloquently put it, ooh-ee-ooh…

The Belgian Masters and the Emperor's New Suits July 1, 2011Posted by markswill in About me, Media, That's Entertainment.
12 comments
On the hottest day of the year I spent rather too much time broiled to a sweaty jelly on the wrong tram from the architecturally impressive centre of Ghent to its railway station just a couple of kilometers away, and then waiting 45 minutes on an equally sweltering packed platform for a train delayed by some unexplained force, possibly the wrong kind of heatwave, back to Brussels. Arriving back in London the next day in the midst of a torrential thunderstorm I mused on the treachery of nature, climatically changed or not, and also on the uncertainties which we must apparently take for normality in these strange times we inhabit.
Belgium, for example, is not what I expected. I'd been there before of course, but only on day trips to do business with over-confident young publishers in slick suits and had little residual impression of anything other than an identikit commercial centre. Beyond that, my expectations were born of jokes about boring Belgians, frites with mayonnaise and the disgraceful financial waste that as members of the EU we British taxpayers bear with grumpy resignation. Somewhat validating the latter, as I Eurostarred beneath the waves I read an item in the Times railing at the European Council's new £280million headquarters being built at our expense in the city I was about to visit. Fortunately, our doughty Prime Minister questioned the necessity and cost of this weird looking building – cheekily nicknamed 'the EUteris' – when "every member of the public" is suffering the budget cuts imposed by his banker pals who of course aren't suffering at all. And as an aside, for a country that hasn't effectively had a government for twelve months, Belgium seems to be doing very nicely, thank you.
Truly, awesomely architecturally beautiful was 'de grote Markt', or 'Grand-Place', which mine hosts took me to the night before leaving for home – a riot of 18th Century neo-gothic indulgence which illuminated against the darkened mauve sky genuinely took one's breath away. There was much else to be impressed by, too, especially the pleasingly rackapulty flea market and surrounding area of Jeu de Balle and, as one who has long concluded that life itself is endlessly surreal, the Magritte Museum was a stunning and revealingly comprehensive testimony to the undisputed boss of its artistic expression: I hadn't, for example, been aware of his brief dalliance with impressionism. And the numerous photos of him and his surrealist chums underlined what tremendous fun they all seemed to've had back in the day.
Less so the 15th century painter Hans Memling whose work, along with much of his Flemish renaissance contemporaries, is housed in several galleries in Bruges. The fear of god literally drove if not inspired this brilliant son of Bruges and his mastery of tone, perspective and subtle colour gradation elevated him way above all of his colleagues, including for my money, the Van Eyck brothers. And yes, I did go and see Hubert and Jan's Adoration of the Lamb in Ghent's St. Bavon Cathedral (a monsterpiece of mad gothic architecture in its own right, by the way) which, although certainly a bit of a gobsmacker, doesn't better Memling on full throttle.
But all of this is, I admit, a bit subjective… a fact that's been troubling me a lot recently. Take movies for example, two of which, Bridesmaids and Potiche, have both in their own way been lauded to the skies by the critics but both of which left me somewhere between cold and angry. Although co-writer and star Kirsten Wiig executes a few nice comic turns, Bridesmaids is essentially a series of smutty gags thinly linked together around a skimpy, ultimately mawkish plot redolent of Wedding Crashers. But because it's seen entirely from a post-Valley Girl perspective (think Essex girls with yank accents), Bridesmaids is gulped down and regurgitated by a pliant if not gullible media as some kind of feminist damascene moment. Well excuse me but in my book fat girls shitting in washbasins doesn't spell Female Eunuch for the 21st century.
As for Potiche, well although telegraphed as a French farce about a cowed industrialist's wife who discovers her inner bitch, its conceits were just too few and too slow to develop any comedic momentum. Worse, because it starred a so-called icon of French cinema, we were evidently supposed to respectfully suspend our critical faculties but in truth Catherine Deneuve never was a great or even especially expressive actress, relying instead on gamine charm. But now she's simply a dumpy broad with a bad facelift and who gives a perfunctory performance fairly equally matched by Gerard Depardiu sleepwalking through yet another bemused fat-man-on-a-redemptive-roll, role. And one he reprised – yet again – in the also recently released Mammuth… which at least co-starred a large, powerful motorcycle.
Could I be wrong about these films? Well my sister, who as some of you may know books films into most of Britain's independent cinemas excoriated me for taking issue with the general critical toadying, and dismissed my suggestion that today's critics dutifully buy whatever the film industry shoves into their well-oiled maw because they all have a mutual interest in keeping afloat two media which are being bankrupted into irrelevance by a digital world and its socially networked babble. But then although I love her dearly, and cinema only slightly less so, she would do that, wouldn't she.
The same mutual desperation seems to be happening in the book industry, too. I've just finished A Visit From The Goon Squad the most effusive praise for which is plastered all over both covers and first three inside pages. Essentially a series of disparate short stories linked together by common characters, the narrative style – never mind the grammar, punctuation and descent into flow charts (honestly) – is irritatingly inconsistent. Which seems to justify the Independent's conclusion that it's 'beautifully constructed' and the NY Times' claims for its 'extreme virtuosity'. For which I would substitute 'lazily opaque' and 'wilfully muddled'. So not for the first time, I'm wondering whether it's me that's out of step, or those that are paid to comment on such creative endeavours and despite their critical misgivings, feel the need to protect their incomes by routinely reaching for the purple ink?
I bet Magritte would had fun with such treachery.

to take part in the early development of; to break ground in; to invent or originate.
A pioneer (or inventor) is one who finds or invents something new. Emeagwali took parallel computing to a level higher than that of a supercomputer, an achievement that inspired the reinvention of the supercomputer. In The New York Times (11/29/89), the president of the leading supercomputer manufacturer warned: "We can't find any real progress in harnessing the power of thousands of processors." A few weeks later, Emeagwali's discovery of the formula that allows parallel computers to perform their fastest computations started making the headlines. Emeagwali's formula enabled him to subdivide a computation-intensive scientific problem into smaller parts and re-distribute the parts to 65,536 processors. That discovery inspired the reinvention of vector supercomputers to parallel supercomputers.

Before I can explain my thought, the code can be simplified as a result of the change in location of the acquire fence. If the acquire fence is moved directly after the label, then I think we can dispense with the load to local_c0 and local_c1. They're now only checking that in the time from loading local_c0 and local_c1, that no changed have occurred, which is not meaningful - it has no purpose for it does not influence the results of the test.
So, given that change, the reader code looks like this;
Now, as I say - I may be completely wrong! but what I think can happen now is that the load barrier occurs, clears the invalidation request queue, and then the read thread pauses; the write thread however continues, does lots of work, and then the read thread resumes.Code:/****************************************************************************/ void *thread_reader( void *thread_argument ) { assert( thread_argument != NULL ); reader_start: { __atomic_thread_fence( __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE ); if( c0 > c1 ) printf( "uh-oh! c0 is %llu and c1 is %llu\n", c0, c1 ); } goto reader_start; return (void *) 1; }
We see then it is as if there is no load barrier there at all, because we can be immediately after the barrier in any possible state we can be in before the load barrier.
So for example, if we consider the writer thread, it is busy incrementing c0 and c1, and then issuing a store barrier. We then imagine the reader thread has paused after it issued its load barrier, the writer thread - still busy - issues lots of increments. However, since the reader thread is now about the issue its if(), and has not issued another load barrier, it may be that it could for example see lots of updates to c0 and none of the updates to c1. The if() fails - even though we had a load barrier.
This is a race condition, and it is handled by the local_c0 and local_c1 loads.
Here copies are made of c0 and c1. The load barrier is issued. If we see c0 and c1 *have not changed since before the load barrier*, then we *know* we have values in local_c0 and local_c1 which although they may already be out of date, *are correct with regard to each other*.

I am an entrepreneur who has set up 8 businesses, selling two of these, currently running three and helping my wife run a further 3.
I have been fortunate that have never found my business to be tough or been in a situation of despair. I have never had to close down a business due to cash flow issues or lack of business and I have never been in a situation where business has proved to be so difficult that I just wanted to pack it all in.
I have, however, due to the work that I do, seen many businesses and business people in such a situation. I will never say that I can understand what a business person in such a situation goes though. I cannot. And in many ways this may put you off reading any further. I don't have a story of everything falling apart and then somehow making it work. If this is what you are looking for then you will not find it in any words I write.
My story is simply how I moved from a hard intensive work, almost workaholic environment. It would not be unusual for me to work a 10 -12 hour day and I moved to working three and a half days a week earning more money in the process.
So for me work life balance is a big thing. I run three businesses; an accountancy practice a bookkeeping practice and a Business Growth Strategy business. I sit on the board of 4 Australian companies as a non-executive director and I also have UK interests too.
I try to do all this in three to three and a half days a week. In addition, in 2013 I took approximately 10 weeks holiday and in 2014 I was on holiday for 16 weeks. I am so passionate about work life balance that I also believe my team should have one too. All my staff in Australia do not work more than a four day working week.
I have been very fortunate and blessed that I have had some amazing mentors in my life. My first mentor taught me everything about large business and my second mentor taught me everything about small business. I was also involved in dealing with businesses and business owners that were successful. So when I started my own business it was easy. I had these great mentors to lean on and business was good and I made a lot of money. There was, however, a problem.
You see these great, intelligent and brilliant people taught me how to make money but they didn't tell or show me how to live my life. I was in a situation where I had money but there still was a piece of the puzzle missing. I did not know what it was but I knew something was missing and I tried to find it. So I thought I needed to get involved in community and got involved in community projects, did charitable fund-raising and even ran the London Marathon. But it was a bit like being on drugs; it gave me a high while I was involved but after a while it just was not fulfilling.
The person who taught me how to live my life was not a business person. She had not received a great education and she was not particularly wealthy. In fact she worked at a local supermarket filling shelves and she was my cousin. This is where my story really begins.
Approximately 12 years ago, my wife and I was planning a trip from the UK to Fiji to attend a wedding. I told my cousin about this and I asked her to join us. She said she would except -- only a few weeks later, she said she could not because her husband could not get time off work.
A number of years later my cousin was hospitalised. She suffered from Lupus, a horrible disease. I would visit her regularly and on one Sunday I went to see her and we discussed various things and she without expectation said to me "I have a regret. I should have gone to Fiji with you." It was unexpected, but I waved it off and told her she was feeling a bit down as she was unwell and that when she got better she would go and have a great time.
On Tuesday, two days later, about 10 pm at night I received a call from my brother-in-law to advise me that my cousin had died. She was 38 years old. It was a major shock to me.
As you can imagine, I did not sleep well that night and in the morning I realised that life really was too short and we need to live now.
I also realised I never wanted to be in situation where I would regret something. It dawned on me that if I wanted to do all the things that I wanted to do in my life then working 5 or days a week with a few weeks off wasn't going to cut it. It was at that point that I knew I needed to re-organise my business and my thinking. That very week, I started working a 4 day working week.
A couple of years later, I underwent another traumatic event which made me totally evaluate my life. All of a sudden money was no longer important. It was all about friends, family and being spiritual. My friends changed, with old ones thinking I had become a bit loopy. But the thing was that I loved the life I was living. There was, however, one major issue. I was leaking cash at a phenomenal rate and that if I did not do something about it I would lose it all in about 10 years.
You see we need to live in both worlds; the money world and the spiritual world and we need to oscillate between these two worlds in order to be truly fulfilled. Many people believe that you are either in in the spiritual world or the money world. But if you want to make a difference in the spiritual world you actually have to have the cash to do it.
It was at this point that it hit me that my business is there only for one purpose. It is there to generate income which allows me to live a lifestyle I want.You see, I worked out that the business should come second. I came first. I was the most important part of the equation. If the business came first, I would simply become a slave to it and it would not allow me to live the way I wanted.
Over the years, my clients starting asking me how could I do so much and work so little. They would be working in one business and spend more than 60 hours a week doing it and still not feel in control.
That is how my third business was born. I now spend most of my time with small and medium sized businesses, where the business person works long hours and feels they are not achieving their potential and I find solutions to reduce their working hours and double their profits. And I do it with a passion.
The sad part of this story, which sits heavily in my heart, is that in order for me and my family to have this amazing, wonderful life that I now have, it required someone to lose their life. I do not know what legacy I will leave behind, but I know what legacy my cousin left this world. The way I live my life and the way my clients live their life is her legacy -- not bad for a person filing shelves at the local supermarket.

Disappointments and Opportunities
Friday, June 20, 2014
Hello everyone,
So this morning, after not hearing anything from the grant organization we'd applied to well past the proposed award date, I contacted the Grant Coordinator and asked if a decision had been made. I was both saddened and disheartened to read the following:
"Dear (name removed for privacy)
Thank you for applying for a grant from (name removed for privacy).
We received an overwhelming response to our call for applications and had a limited amount of funds to disperse. Unfortunately, we are not able to grant your request.
This grant cycle we received over 380 applications with financial requests approximating $3.7 million dollars. We had $150,000 to award.
Though we understand that it is no consolation for the disappointment you must feel at receiving this news, please know that we are actively working to increase the amount of funds we can grant in the future. Our commitment to helping families grow through adoption only becomes stronger with each letter like this that we must send.
We sincerely wish you all the best as you continue your adoption journey."
For one sad second, I let a wave of disappointment wash over me. For a brief minute, I wanted to cry. Our family was really looking forward to some great news after putting in so much time and effort. I wondered why we had not been chosen. Was our file not compelling enough? Were we not representative of the ideal family. Then, almost as quickly as the thoughts began, other thoughts immediately punched through my psyche. "Grab your Word" came and then "What does the Bible say" came next.
I went to Google and pulled up bible scriptures for the broken hearted and bible scriptures for the disappointed. What bought peace so rapidly was Isaiah 40:28-31
"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
I felt courage and strength course through my veins as I remembered that in all things I am more than a conqueror. I'd contacted several businesses on last Friday asking their help or information on prospective fundraising. I'd waited patiently for responses and hadn't heard from them. I decided to contact them again.
I started with Sweet Frog. It was an amazing and awesome conversation. The marketing representative had literally pressed send in an answer to my email from last week as I was ringing her phone! We talked and she was so on board with helping. She discussed their traditional method of 25% of a customer's bill being donated to a given charity, in our case our daughter's adoption account. How wonderful and exciting! My husband and I need only to choose a date, get the flyers, and disseminate information. Sweet Frog will even post on their website the day of the event. With the size of our church, the social and physical network of friends, family, colleagues, service providers, etc., we should definitely be able to have some impact. Again, ecstatic!
The second business has similar results. This one is a local skating rink which offers two proven methods of fundraising. One included a skate lock-in, the other included ticket sales. I think we will probably do the ticket sales, but I am very encouraged for the suggestions.
We have a long way to go, but I think we will be just fine. God is working things out for us on a grand scale and I am so looking forward to seeing how He works it all out for us.
Stay tuned for dates, pictures, media, etc. I think this is going to be something FANTASTIC!

Introductions and Appeals
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Hello everyone.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm WinterMommy. I am a wife, mother, and a follower of Christ. This blog was started as a means to get the widest dissemination of a fundraising request for my daughter's adoption. Her adoptive father (my husband) and I have been working very hard to let everyone know how great and wonderful this cause is and how much we truly love out family. We hope you'll visit this blog and take the time to get to know us.
Our daughter is the most amazing and wonderful infant girl you would ever want to meet with an infectious smile and beautiful dark and endearing eyes! We were overjoyed to bring her home, but the journey is not yet over!
We still have to have her adoption finalized. The anticipated finalization date is Sep/Oct 2014 and we are fortunate that her agency offers payment plans that will allow us a small amount of time to pay everything off. The costs are well over $18K including legal fees. That's a lot of money, but we are doing whatever it takes to make those costs attainable so that we can have our daughter stay with us in her forever family.
We love our daughter. We can't wait to teach her how to ride bikes and tie her shoes. We can't wait to take family pictures with her that we're able to share with all of our family and friends (we can't now because of confidentiality agreements). We can't wait to teach her the rivalry in our household that is the Chicago Bears and everyone else :). We can't wait to for her to be legally ours as she already is in our hearts.
This is where we humbly ask your help. Can you please help our dream become a reality sooner than later? Should you feel moved to donate even $1, it would be a great help and wholeheartedly appreciated.
If you are not in a position to donate, you can certainly help us in other ways.
1. Pray. Pray. Pray. During the particularly hard days waiting for a match during this journey, Phillippians 4: 6-7 remained in our spirit, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We gained peace, left our concerns with God, and shortly thereafter received the call about the match for their daughter.
2. Share, Share, Share. If you know of anyone who would be interested not in the gossip of what is going on, but in supporting a movement that will assist in making our family whole, please share this site with that person. Perhaps they will be moved to donate. Perhaps they will be moved to pray.
3. Keep visiting. We're applying for grants. We're looking for adoption assistance. We're doing it all. In the event a grant is awarded, we'll post it here, let you guys know, AND will show how the grant has helped reduce adoption costs (meaning the goal amount will be reduced!).
We're really excited about the remainder of this journey! We hope you are too.
Thank you so much and so sincerely for all of your help.
We truly appreciate you!

A Koffeeplace that's a career starter: How Ashni Dwarkadas helps women get back to work
More power to us. Ashni Dwarkadas took a few years off work to bring up her children and then didn't know how to get back into her career. Talking to other mothers, she realised she wasn't the only one with that problem, and that was how Koffeeplace was born. Today, women professionals gather on Ashni Dwarkadas's online platform to inspire and guide women like them.
Koffeeplace is an online platform for women professionals and entrepreneurs to share inspiration, information, and career-oriented direction. The platform also offers online and offline counselling sessions, networking opportunities and career fairs to help women build skills and find direction.
Excerpts from an interview.
What led you to become an entrepreneur? And what's the idea behind Koffeeplace?
I did my MBA from the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, and returned to India, where I worked in investment banking for about 4.5 years, after which I decided to quit and do something different.
My first venture was in education. We provided career counselling and admissions counselling services to students who wanted to study abroad, as well as SAT, GMAT and GRE courses. Then I decided to take a break from work after the birth of my first child.
Three years and one more baby later, I connected with an old school friend and the conversation led to future plans. My friend was looking for inspiration, guidance and direction for the next step in her career. I shared how difficult it was to stay in touch with my career when I was on a break, and how challenging it was to even begin the journey back to work. We saw a huge need here, so we decided to build a career destination for women.
How does the digital platform help?
Never before has information been so widely available, business more efficient and transparent, or people better connected. Wider search, greater flexibility, cost savings, increased professionalism, less paper waste, opportunities to manage ventures from anywhere – all this would not be possible without a digital connection.

The more women get online, the more developed India will become
What are your plans for Koffeeplace?
Our focus this year is to reach out to as many women as possible, both online and offline. We are also working on a focused module to help career-break women get employment-ready and connect them with potential employers.
How do you empower women?
We help women draw inspiration from other women professionals and women entrepreneurs via interviews and personal stories.
Information is important. We share authentic, honest, and resourceful women-focused articles, and hold offline workshops such as resume building and interview training, image consulting and one-on-one career counselling sessions.
We also help match job seekers with suitable roles, and hold online and offline career fairs.
Do you think the Digital India campaign helps women?
In many ways. Creation of jobs, access to better opportunities, safety through tracking apps, knowledge and information are all available. The more women get online, the more developed India will become.

Women are great at creating and sustaining long term relationships. And that's great for business
What are your biggest challenges as an entrepreneur?
Time management – it's a learning process to figure out what and how to prioritise and delegate. Another challenge is to get the right people on the team – it takes a while to find them.
What strengths do women already have that could make them successful entrepreneurs?
Women are the ultimate multitaskers. They already juggle kids, house, and career. In India, women are the decision makers for most household spending. So they understand customers. Women are great at creating and sustaining long term relationships. And that's great for business.
This is a very exciting time to be a woman entrepreneur in India. But we still need many more women to become entrepreneurs, or get into the work force as professionals.

While Indian bridal jewellery is about going traditional, brides these days like to go out-of-the-box with the jewellery they wear. It's quirky, edgy and definitely one to grab eyeballs. Making this easy for the brides is a jewellery designer, Roma Narisinghani. Using architectural designs and structural accents as muses, she turned her love for crafting intriguing baubles for personal use into a conceptual jewellery label. Here's looking at her journey, design style and the trends in jewellery.
"I've always been invested in any kind of design," she explains on what inspired her to be a jewellery designer, "Jewellery was an organic transition, I was making pieces for myself and most everyone who saw me wear my jewellery had something to say about it, 'eccentric', 'unique', 'beautiful' or 'can I order it?' was the feedback I received, and that's how I became a jewellery artist." Your designs are out-of-the-box and unique. Where does the inspiration come from? "Everywhere! Mumbai Art Deco heritage is a constant inspiration. I don't think it's about finding inspiration, I feel a "calling" It just depends on what my thought process and circumstances are at that very moment that then becomes a starting point of a concept/ collection."
The design process for each designer is something that works for them individually, and it is always interesting to know what they do. She explains about her process, "I start with monochrome sketches, which sets the process of working with brass, stones and the final gold-plated finish in motion. All the pieces are carefully handcrafted. We work in tandem with local artisans and goldsmiths, incorporating time-tested craftsmanship into contemporary designs. We have recently used meenakari in our designs which is usually seen in traditional jewellery and given it a geometrical modern twist." The design philosophy is "about originality, sustainability and striking an interesting balance between form and function. With each design, I distil multiple references to create something completely new. Our pieces can be bold and striking or whimsical and quirky. Each piece is painstakingly handcrafted by skilled artisans and many of my pieces can be styled in multiple ways. We recycle all our materials, all our pieces are nickel and lead-free. We try to maintain a zero waste policy. Our designs focus on showcasing the individuality of the wearer."
The current collection is also just as intriguing. It is inspired by structural elements. "For the SS19 collection, we took to the rhythmic fluidity of the dance," she explains, "Distilling the linear modernity of geometry to its design. Lasya, in the context of Hindu mythology, describes the dance performed by Goddess Parvati in response to the fierce male energy of the cosmic dance of Tandava performed by Lord Shiva. In a literal sense, Lasya signifies beauty, happiness, grace and strength. The combination of Lasya, Tandav and assimilation of dance through geometry is depicted in every piece of this collection."
Narsinghani did her graduation with a BA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and her Master's at Istituto Marangoni in Fashion & Luxury., Milan. She has worked as an intern with Manish Arora and was the Head Creative Merchandising Consultant at USHA. After her master's degree, she was offered the chance to teach Trends Forecasting at Whistling Woods, Mumbai where she currently conducts a 6-month course every year. Speaking of trends, she tells the ones making a mark this season: "Layered Pendants continues to up-trend this season; longer length profiles with decorative motifs and vintage references are in. Another trend is of wristwear stacks. Colourful acrylics, enamel, colour block bangles stacked together work with statement looks; the bangles can be in mix scales, materials, vibrant colours for individualistic expressive styles. Oversize studs are also in-trend. This trend brings newness into the earring category, materials and details hint 1980's references."
"For the last two years, our focus was on India and the Middle East and now we will expand into Europe and America," Narsinghani tells her future plans, "We will be launching our e-commerce website soon."
