things done
It is done. I submitted my PhD thesis for examination 2 weeks ago. I can hardly believe it, but slowly as the days pass my body and mind are beginning to process this fact. I am starting to uncoil the tightly wound spring of tension that I have become over the last 12 months of thesis writing. But what an experience! And I loved almost every single second of it.
So that means a little more time for printmaking - I have not been in the studio since April. It will be super lovely to get my hands dirty again. I feel quite rusty but also eager to get started. In the meantime though, a bit of rest is in order with some beach and mountain time in the company of family and friends. Bliss. See you in 2014!

Mapuru weavers coming to Melbourne
Two and half years ago I travelled to Mapuru, a small indigenous community in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, where I sat the women weavers and learned the basics of their beautiful, highly skilled craft. I blogged about it here and here. The image above is of a basket woven by Mapuru weaver, Margaret Bambalarra. After buying the basket from Margaret I carried it all the way back to Melbourne. It's now hanging on my wall at home. Each time I walk by it I drink in the colours of the top end and think about that wonderful community of women weavers.
If you live in Mebourne (or even if you don't but are prepared to travel here) Friends of Mapuru are bringing some of the Mapuru weavers to Melbourne in late January 2014 to participate in a cultural exchange. Part of that time will be spent sharing their weaving skills. If you'd like to take part in the weaving workshop check out the information on the Friends of Mapuru website and sign up. It will be a blast! Believe me, you will learn so much more than weaving skills from these amazing women.

hearing feedback: crits and creative process
|Work of Art (Season 1) contestant Abdi (left) during a work in progress studio crit with Simon de Pury.
How do you respond to feedback on your work?
It's a curly question that one, most probably generating even curlier responses depending on your view.
Let me give you some context. I've been engrossed in watching Work of Art: the Next Great Artist on SBS, a reality series from the US about artists and their creative work in a competition environment. You can read more about the series here on wikipedia. Spoiler alert: do not go to the official Bravo site to read about this series if you want to keep the mystery of who wins alive to the end. They have winner information plastered all over their front page at the moment (for season 2).
Have you been watching Work of Art too? If so, I'd be really keen to hear your take on it. There's so much that can be said about this show from many different angles - the competition, the participants, the judges, the studio environment, the nature of the briefs, the personalities (!!!), the made for TV formula, but...I'd like to dwell on the crits for a moment in this post if I may. Because boy, are they lively!
Crits (or critiques), as many people familiar with art or design school environments will know, are one of the most important places that an artist (or designer) receives feedback on their creative work, either the work in progress or the finished work. For a very thorough run down on crits and their role and place in art school education you might like to read this post by Kurt Ralske. A fellow tweeter and colleague, Megan McPherson (@meganjmcpherson) is doing her PhD on the student experience of the crit in the art school studio. She will no doubt have much to say on this topic as her study finishes so stay tuned!
If you haven't seen them, the crits on Work of Art are brutal. They're honest and hard hitting and the whole time I watch that part of the show I sit on the edge of my seat and my heart beats faster. I swear. This may sound odd but I feel some of the pain for the participants. Why? Because feedback is hard. It's hard to hear especially when the feedback is critical or negative and you've been working like a demon to produce something you feel is worthwhile. It's hard to hear feedback in the most normal of crit environments but on tv in a reality show with cameras and viewers all over the world, well that is something else! Sure, it could be argued that the partipants knew that this would be the case, that their crits would be uber public and that's the 'game' they entered into when they agreed to be part of the show. Yes. But all the same, they're creating work in very short time frames while being filmed. And then on top of it all they endure very public feedback on their work via a gallery show and then the crits. To actually hear the feedback, own it, take it in and process it, and then act on it takes a great deal of openness for artists, and I would suggest especially in the kind of environment on Work of Art.
But I'm keen to hear what you think. Go watch the show. Come back and leave comments. Or just tell me what you think from your own experience of crits. Is feedback hard for you? Do you have any special ways of dealing with it?

on rabbit holes and creative process
|Inside a Japanese woodblock print studio. Total immersion in the process. Photo by Kylie Budge (circa 2003)
A fellow researcher, Melonie Fullick (@qui_oui) and I have been chatting about rabbit holes and the PhD process on Twitter lately. This is because we both feel like we travel down somewhere deep in apsects of our research work, and it feels like a solo place where we can't think about other things. We just have to tunnel down like a rabbit and do our thing there for a while until we're ready to come back up. Melonie even wrote a blog post about it yesterday. She describes the process and feeling well, I think.
As I read her post this morning over breakfast it got me thinking about the creative process and how it has similar rabbit hole qualities. You know that feeling, when things are going well with a project and you forget to eat and can't bear to stop. Hours and hours can pass by without you noticing. Psychologists call this 'flow', the idea where immersion in creating is so deep that time seems to stop for the person involved. They also talk about it being a single-minded immersion. Which led me to the rabbit hole analogy. It's a similar idea.
I was thinking about this quality of single-mindedness the other night as I watched Jennifer Byrne interview Elizabeth Gilbert on the ABC. Elizabeth was talking about the process of writing and creating her new work of fiction, The Signature of all Things, a massive 512 page story set in the early 1800s. When she spoke about writing this book and bringing the story to life I was struck by the details, the collecting and sorting and researching and weaving of all the tiny minutiae that make up a fantastic story (and if Jennifer's reading of it is anything to go by, it will be great. The book will be released next week). Surely creating something like this requires at least one rabbit hole? Maybe more?
And yesterday I read Lucy Feagins interview with the Sydney artist Cressida Campbell on The Design Files. I've always admired Cressida's prints so was really excited to see this interview. In it she talks about her process. One thing that struck me is she said that while a small work can take her 2 weeks to make, a larger work can take up to 4 months. And Cressida admitted she usually only works on creating one print at a time. A great example of the rabbit hole! Check out the article with Sean Fennessy's beauitful photography showcasing Cressida's studio.
I wonder, do you experience the rabbit hole feeling when creating? Or something else entirely?

happiness is...
I've been really enjoying catching up on some of the Creative Mornings Melbourne video series, so I thought I'd mention another recent one that provided me with quite a bit of food for thought. Designer/Illustrator and 'multi-disciplinary' maestro, Beci Orpin, spoke about happiness and creativity in this lovely video.
Beci speaks with lots of examples from her life about what keeps her happy, and links this all very closely to her ability to maintain a work life driven by design. She mentions the following happiness points important to her:
+ her sketchbooks
+ making mistakes
+ riding her bike
+ breaking the rules
+ having her cats around
+ diversity
+ finding inspiration
+ community
+ running your own race
Two things I found quite wonderful to hear her speak about were 1. making mistakes, and 2. running your own race. Beci shares a very honest tale of what she feels was probably a business 'mistake' earlier on in her designer career. I found it refreshing to hear how she viewed this and the learning she drew from it. It would be easy to write something like this off as a failure and dwell on it unproductively for ages. Instead, she used the experience to figure out what she is better at and used this to propel her forward into other design adventures.
The second point, about running your own race, was communicated simply, but holds a powerful message. Beci talks about not getting caught up in what your creative peers are doing and measuring your progress against this. Feeling envious, jaded or ripped off 'is a really big waste of energy', she says. Which is so true when you think about it. And turning your thinking around to see it like this totally changes your perspective from being a negative one to being positive. So run your own race is her main message here.
What brings you happiness in your creative world? Enjoy the video!

documenting the lives of creatives
|Studio of Aysen Bayram. Photos by Paul Barbera from Whey They Create.
Something else that jumped out of me from Lucy's talk on image making and the new image economy (see previous post) is the beautiful documenting of creative work spaces that some are undertaking. One such person is Paul Barbera who produces Where They Create, a gorgeous image folio of people in their creative work environments from all over the world. Swoon!
Another production of a similar ilk is that of fvf who collect stories and images of creative folk in their work spaces from different parts of the globe in their series, workplaces. Ooo la la! Through their beautiful photography and text we can see the creative environments of people like artist, Jeongmoon Choi in Berlin or graphic designer, Etienne "Akroe" Bardelli in Paris. This particular collection tends to produce quite a bit from Europe giving those of us far, far away some insight into the creative working environments generated in that part of the world. I love this series and have been following it for a while. I also like the fvf series, interviews, which includes one of my favourites with 100 year old publisher and artist, Gisele d'Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht (an impressive name, non?) in Amsterdam.
What amazing and important projects! This documenting of artists, designers and makers in their work spaces and homes, along with interviews about their creative lives is a goldmine of inspiration and insight. Mine that gold, absorb it and share it around, I say.

the new image economy
Recently I watched this fascinating and inspiring talk by the very talented Lucy Feagins from The Design Files as part of the Creative Mornings Melbourne series.
What I loved is the way Lucy talks about something she calls 'the new image economy'. She does in the context of the publishing industry having been thrown on its head of late and talks about what this means for image makers, and how they might make this topsy-turvy space work for them, rather than against them. As well as describing the way the image making industry works in publishing (both print and online) she argues how the new image economy enables image makers to 'be in the driver's seat' and wrest control, despite appearances to the contrary with the proliferation of images on the internet.
The main take-home message raises quite a few questions regarding traditional ideas about intellectual property, something image makers have had a hard time hanging onto over the last 5-10 years, particularly on the internet. Lucy speaks about this issue in relation to her super-popular blog, The Design Files. I was intrigued by the different phases she says she has traveled through to reach a space where she says she has become 'quite zen' about it all, understanding as she does that the image economy has a way of paying back, even when her images are pinned on say, Pinterest, or re-blogged. It's an interesting notion, one with much value and enormous dollops of generosity. And one I think I like very much.
See what you think. Go watch the whole talk now.
Thanks to Erin Wilson's blog for helping me find the video in the first place.

flora in triptych 2
I printed this small edition of etchings in April before I went to NY and love the deep richness of those dirty reds. It's a tiny edition of 5 only as with all the messing around involved in inking up and laying three 10x10cm plates exactly on the printing bed, not to mention getting a good print (which means me not bumping that paper before I run it through the press) I would need to be printing for an aeon to have any more. I have a few others from this run that are quite quirky (plates positioned differently) and may list those separately at some point.
What have you been printing?

new york vignettes
I was in New York for 3 main reasons: to write a significant chunk of my PhD thesis, to see a lot of art, and to visit friends. This was my little apartment in the Lower East Side rented through airbnb. It was perfect in every sense. I spent every morning in that room on the right working on my thesis. It was bathed in eastern light and had a fabulous view of the Williamsburg Bridge. A perfect place for writing.
Tompkins Square Park and along the East River park. Runners' heaven that! I also cycled my heart out as my apartment came with a bike. Cycling in Manhattan is wild and crazy and totally recommended! NYC launched its new bike share program while I was there. So now there are funky blue rental bikes everywhere.
NY Frieze was on. So much fun to catch a ferry down the East River to Randall's Island. And so much art!
Go there if you want to know more about these works.
DUMBO is one of the best places to hang out in Brooklyn.
High Line captured my heart. Last time I was in NY in 2008 it wasn't yet open so it was so much fun to walk from 34th St all the way down to the 12th on this beautiful elevated public park. The landscaping is superb and the architecture is non-stop amazing the whole way.
Il Laboratorio on Ludlow in the Lower East Side. But you get the idea...

sculptural forms
|Aviary # 1 by Sheridan Jones
Digging around this morning I found this recent interview with Sheridan on Golden Artnet about her work and a show she did at the Castlemaine Contemporary Art Space. It's a great read. Check out her owl in the beautiful old glass jar.
If you go to The Stockroom make sure to also visit Lauriston Press Gallery on the same street (Piper St). Owner and printmaker Sarah Gabriel stocks some beautiful work there including those of Daylesford based artist and bird print maestro, Bridget Farmer.
Foodies will love that there is a new place in town: St Beans Provedore right next to Annie Smithers' Bistro.

studio practices
But there has been a little studio activity. Hurrah!
At the moment I'm playing with colour and trying to work up some sketches that I can use for a new series of etchings. Today felt fairly productive.
I've been observing a few things about my practice which some people find unusual. But really, I think anyone who uses social media (like blogs, instagram, twitter, flickr, tumblr) and has a creative practice won't be too surprised by my observations. What I've noticed is I've been increasingly using and finding support in a virtual side to my practice. That is, like many artists and designers I know (but not all, as I've learned when I try to explain this to some) I might work alone at home on studio work but while I'm working I document my practice and share what's happening (messy process, end results, inspirations - all find their way in). Sometimes I ask questions about colour or composition or tools or any number of things. This happens mostly on instagram and twitter, but in the past also a lot on flickr. And also here too, on this blog. Using hash tags like #printmaking #studio #illustration etc are great because you can find all kinds of people popping by to look and sometimes comment.
It sometimes gets tricky when I'm printing. Inky hands and the camera/phone don't make happy companions.
It's all very virtual and yet also very social.
Any yet it's different from when I'm printing or working alongside other printmakers in the same physical studio. I still document my work and share it digitally while I'm there. Yet what I experience with the virtual practices I've just described is different from the way I spend time, move around, practice, and observe others at work in a shared physical studio space.
And I'm trying to work out what is different and why I might experience it that way.
I haven't joined all the dots together yet.
What about you? Any thoughts you'd like to share on the matter? What kind of digital/virtual studio practices do you use?

Patriots have another fire alarm wake up call
The New England Patriots had another unfriendly wake up call in the middle of the night. Another fire alarm went off in their hotel.
You wouldn't think much about the fire alarm that went off a couple of nights ago on the New England Patriots. It happened in the middle of the night before Media Day, but we all probably would have forgotten about it by now.
Now it has happened again though. Again last night the fire alarm went off in the New England Patriots hotel room. Two false fire alarms have now happened in the Patriots hotel on 2 different nights.
It must be a coincidence...right? Twice in the past 3 nights the fire alarm has gone off on the Patriots in the middle of the night. Will we hear about a third or fourth time happening? Will it happen on the Saturday night before the big game?
It seems like someone is pulling off these shenanigans on the Patriots players. If it just happened once, we would all disregard it, but it has happened again. Someone doesn't want the Patriots to get any good rest.
The Patriots have been dealing with accusations of deflating footballs throughout the past couple of weeks. Now they are dealing with a stupid fire alarm that keeps going off in the middle of the night. What other distractions do people want to throw at them before the game kicks off on Sunday night?
While the Patriots are dealing with the footballs and the fire alarms, the Seattle Seahawks have been dealing with fines. Marshawn Lynch has been the subject of the media. He was one of the top stories during the last Super Bowl for his unwillingness to talk to the media. He has been the topic of discussion again for his brief and repetitive answers that he has been giving to reporters. On Tuesday he answered every question with the quick comment of "I'm just here so I don't get fined." On Wednesday he assumed that everyone already knew why he was there, so that was his new answer.
We won't be talking about deflated footballs or fire alarms in a few days. We won't be dealing with the answers from Marshawn Lynch from media day. Hopefully we will be talking about an incredible Super Bowl game that was played by some incredible teams on Sunday night.
If another fire alarm does go off though, we better start checking those fire pulls for finger prints, because someone is doing their best to troll on the Patriots in the middle of the night.

Happy Flash Fiction Friday Everyone! Let's get to the story, just as the monster was about to strike poor John:
I closed my eyes when the monster struck.
Everything went silent.
There was no pain. I didn't feel the monster's teeth. Didn't feel its breath or slime cover me.
I didn't feel anything.
"You can open your eyes." Said a voice. A deep voice. Melodic. Soothing.
I opened my eyes.
The pool was empty. The waterfall murmured. Everything and everyone was gone.
Save one man in front of me. Tall. Silver haired. Well-groomed. Goatee. Black suit. Red tie.
Wicked grin.
"Who are you?"
"A friend," he said.
And fear gripped me like never before in the wake of his stare.

Welcome to the first day of our GIALLOWEEN celebration! Today we have one strictly for the undiscerning gialli completists in the audience.
The Monster of Florence is not a great film. In fact, it is pretty goddamn hard to sit through. For starters, it has that made-for-TV feel to it...most likely because it probably aired on Italian television back in its day. And it doesn't really possess much of the style and grace that its contemporaries had. It's kind of a clumsy giallo film when it all comes down to it and only really worth a glance if this genre is your thing. Luckily...this genre is my bag...so, here we go.
Cesare Ferrario, best known for a string of Italian television mini-series back in the early 80's (so, not really all that known), swings for the cinematic fences with his giallo entry, Il mostro di Firenze...or The Monster of Florence...or Night Ripper...or Das Monster von Florenz (for some reason...everything sounds better in German). Ferrario deserves credit for at least trying here...which is something that I can't really say about most modern filmmakers. He creates an eerie vibe without succumbing to the signature tropes of the genre...and, for a little while, made a mildly amusing experience...especially if you're on Quaaludes.
The Monster of Florence is actually a film adaptation of the grisly murders of 16 victims that took place from 1968 to 1985 in the province of Florence, Italy. The killer, labeled "Il Mostro", gunned down couples out cavorting in the woods utilizing the same gun in every instance. All the murders were done in the same creepy manner each time and, although there have been several suspects throughout the years, the killer has never been properly identified. Points for adapting real-world elements into a giallo film. Minus points for adapting a killer who used a fucking gun. I mean...come on...this is giallo, a gentlemen's sport...for Christ's sake.
Anyway...the look of the film is not the worst I've seen. It is mostly on par with the kind of stuff that one would see in a bad Miami Vice episode, sans the great music. The killer is super clumsy and lacks any kind of style...thus playing into the "realness" of this film. Honestly, it took me a few times to finally get through this film...as I nodded off on the first couple of attempts...and when I finally concluded my "Night Ripper" experience...it was not a fulfilling one. Despite...boobies.
As I mentioned up above, I give Ferrario credit for attempting something different here...however, it is also a double-edged blade to excise traditional elements from a genre that has so much going for it. At the very least...give the killer some leather gloves (he had stupid rubber dish washing ones, at some point), or something. Throw in a hot American female student with psychic powers. I dunno. Maybe I'm just sour because I paid 20 bucks to watch something cool...and got...this. I've seen cop show re-enactments that were much more entertaining than this.
In the end, I would not recommend The Monster of Florence to the casual film going audience and would be hard pressed to recommend it to my gialli-watching brothers and sisters out there. It isn't a terrible film...but, it is an excruciating 92 minutes that could have been something much cooler. Watching a documentary of the actual murders was much more gripping. YouTube that, instead.
Thanks for reading,

> Moral Miracles by Imam Kalamazad
Articles Section > Moral Miracles by Imam Kalamazad Mohammed
Whilst it is true that as ordinary Muslims without any pretensions to sainthood we are unable to perform sublime miracles like the Prophets of God or like those of inspired mujaddids [reformers or renovators] and saints of Islam, yet Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Mujaddid of the 14th Century Hijrah has expounded to us an area in which we, too, can perform miracles in our own conduct that can perhaps be of more import collectively to mankind than the signs that were shown to the peoples of the past by their Messengers.
But, first of all, as the farmer clears his land of weeds and pebbles, before ploughing and cultivating with healthy seeds that will bring forth beautiful fruits for all to relish, so, too, we must prepare our "soil". And the first step given to us in the Holy Quran is:
O you who believe, turn to Allah with taubatan nasuha (sincere repentance) (66:8).
Tauba means he returned to a place to which he had come before or he returned from disobedience to obedience to God; he repented. Nasaha signifies to advise and counsel sincerely, honestly, sedulously or faithfully for the good of the person advised; and taubatan nasuha means true or sincere repentance; repentance that mends life; such repentance that one never returns to such sin after one repents of it (Lane).
So merciful and loving is our God to us that He has promised that if we effect this kind of repentance He will change our evil deeds into good deeds:
Except him who repents and believes and does good deeds; for such Allah changes their evil deeds to good ones. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful (25:70).
However, this repentance has to be sincere and it is also conditional, and in the following excerpt, Mirza Sahib has given us three conditions that are to be fulfilled if this taubatan nasaha is to be a genuine, lasting and beneficial one.
"Indeed, in order to acquire fine morals, taubah (repentance) motivates and assists man and helps to make him perfect; that is, whoever wishes to change his evil behaviour, then it is an indispensable prerequisite for him to make taubah with a pure heart and with sincere intentions. One must also remember that there are three conditions to taubah without which perfect taubah or taubatan nasaha cannot be obtained.
Of course, before the above conditions can be fulfilled or even undertaken, they demand of us that we search for and recognise our shortcomings and entertain a genuine desire to mend our ways as we aim for moral and spiritual advancement. This calls for honesty and sincerity in self-examination and excludes all varieties of anxiety-evading techniques like denial, projection, rationalisation, etc.
"I now desire to say a few more words and then conclude this topic. I return to the question of the different kinds of miracles and I affirm that miracles like the splitting of the moon, etc., belong to the category that requires deep knowledge for them to be understood, whilst other miracles hinge upon profound spiritual knowledge and insight. But in the third category fall moral miracles which cast a very deep and pervasive influence. Philosophers cannot find comfort in profound spiritual truths and insights. But outstanding and meritorious virtues exert a deep and penetrating effect on them.
Mirza Sahib also makes the point that people may make all kinds of excuses, learned or otherwise, to evade having to accept the first two kinds of miracles. For example, they may explain away the splitting of the moon or the eclipses of the sun and the moon in the month of Ramadhan (as signs of the appearance of the Mahdi) as acts of nature with no special spiritual significance. Likewise, miracles relating to deep spiritual knowledge and insight may be regarded as contrary to the demonstrable laws of physical science or may be considered as borrowed knowledge or even as the outpourings of a disturbed mind. However, moral miracles that bring about a distinct and astounding change in behaviour cannot be gainsaid and, in fact, their influence is not limited to time and space nor to race and social class. He then gives a few specific examples of the kind of change he invites us to institute in our lives.
"Every person who gives up evil morals and blameworthy habits and replaces them with beautiful and virtuous habits is a miracle-worker. For example, if he possesses a very harsh disposition and his temper is easily aroused and he forsakes them for forbearance and forgiveness or he exchanges miserliness for generosity or adopts compassion in place of envy, then, indeed he has wrought a miracle. And so, too, if he relinquishes egoism and self-conceit for humility and meekness, then, that, too, is a miraculous act. So, who is there among you who does not cherish the ambition to become a miracle-worker? I am sure that everybody will like to do this in his life. So, without doubt, it will go down as a perpetual and ever-living miracle if a man should change his moral condition, for this is such a miracle that is never destroyed, but instead its influence is spread far and wide.
"It is absolutely necessary, therefore, for my Jamaat members to make progress in their moral conduct for the maxim steadfastness is greater than a miracle is a well-known one. So, they should always remember that if someone should treat them harshly, they should, as far as possible, respond gently and kindly. They should not allow themselves to fall into the trap of meeting violence and harshness with the same.
"Allah, the Most High, says in the Holy Quran: And We shall make those who follow thee above those who disbelieve, to the Day of Resurrection. This heart-consoling promise was given as assistance to the son of Mary, the past Messiah. But I give you the good news that Allah has also used the name of the Christian Messiah in speaking to the present Messiah, son of Mary, and has given him the same good news in the same words, too.
Finally, we put forward from the Holy Quran another reference to the Messiah of the 14th Century Hijrah and his disciples:
O you who believe, be helpers (in the cause) of Allah, as Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples: Who are my helpers (in the cause) of Allah. So a party of the Children of Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then We aided those who believed against their enemy, and they became predominant (61:14).

You could be from the Human Resource department and is given the position to hold the job interview or you could be an intern or you could be a reporter and is given the task to report news from a new beat assignment or you could have a study and that you have to interview people to collect data.
Whoever you are, you might have a dire need to improve or enhance your interviewing skills because you would need it for your profession right now. One way of doing so is with the help of interview worksheets. Thes worksheets provide ways on how you can complete your skills in interviewing. We have provided ten worksheets in this article that will surely help you improve and enhance your interviewing skills.
Interviews are very useful when it comes to obtaining information from people in an in-depth way. Whether you are interviewing a person for a job or interviewing a resource person for your news article, interviews are a great tool for you to know the necessary information you need to acquire from the person you just met. You may also see 10 Grammar Worksheets – Examples & Importance.
Interviewing is also an important skill to have. It is a skill that will enable you to know what an individual is thinking or feeling and most importantly, their opinions about the question you threw at them. It is through the skill of interviewing that you will gain relevant issues that have been given deaf ears and blind eyes and that these issues will finally be given a solution. This skill will help in uncovering an information that is relevant and crucial. You may also see 11+ SWOT Analysis Worksheet Examples in PDF.
Interviews are used to obtain the necessary and detailed information about a person's views, opinions, and even their feelings and perceptions. You may also see 10 Self-Assessment Worksheet Examples in PDF.
Interviews, when effective questions are being asked, will allow more followup questions that could make the interview more in-depth. If there are responses that are ambiguous, you can make clear all those during interviews. You may also see 10 Alphabet Worksheet Examples in PDF.
The information you report will not be held against you because you have a proof that you are not just putting words into someone's mouth. You may also see Expense Worksheet Examples.
Interviews can be time-consuming. With all the followup questions that could follow even after the answer of the respondent, more time will be consumed. The process of interviewing itself can be very time-consuming because you will then have to set-up a schedule and list down all the necessary and accurate questions to ask for the necessary and accurate answers to be obtained. And, when you would finally create a transcribed copy of the interview, it would take time to transcribe word-for-word. You may also see Alphabet Worksheet Examples.
Here are the steps in the common way interviews are done:
It is at this stage where you will determine what information is required and what you want to find out from the person you are going to interview. This is the stage where you are going to think of all the questions you want to ask your interviewee. You may also see Budget Worksheets.
Now that you have decided what information you want to acquire from the interviewees, you now have to decide the method or how you are going to collect data from your respondents or from the person you are going to interview. Your interview could be conducted by face-to-face, by using chat messaging services, but it is strongly suggested that you should conduct the interview personally because the latter does not have the assurance that your interviewee's answers are not coached or influenced by other people around him or her that you cannot see. You can also conduct an interview via a telephone call and you just ask permission from the interviewee that you are going to record. You can also conduct an interview via video phone call. This is another alternative to substitute face-to-face interviews instead of just having a chat messaging where you cannot see the person you are interviewing. You may also see 10 Coaching Worksheet Examples in PDF.
This is the time when you would finally schedule the time, place, and date of the interview. Make sure you have set the interview at a convenient time for the interviewee so that there will be no problems. You may also know How to Write a Newspaper Obituary (With Examples).
This is also the stage where you have to check back again the questions you have prepared. Ask yourself the following questions when you will check the questions again:
While this stage can be optional especially if you do not have an extra time, conduct the interview with someone to people that are potential interviewees but are not the actual ones.
Finally, you can now conduct the interview.
Before the interview, you have to ask permission from your interviewee that you are going to record the entire interview and you have to assure and confirm to them that if they will request anonymity, it will surely be granted as they wish.
You should also have to mention the purpose of your interview and how you are going to use the information you are going to obtain from them.
If you have a time limit for the interview, make sure that you stick to it.
Now that you are done with the actual interview, it is now the time for you to transcribe the interview.
Analyzing the transcripts will enable you to effectively do the next stage which is:
Be it for a news article, a job interview or for a study, this step is the most crucial part where you will finally make use of what you have obtained from the interview. Make sure you have extensively used the article so that your efforts in conducting the entire interview process would not be put to waste.

The Incredibles Directed by Brad Bird
Don't get me wrong – I thoroughly enjoyed Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo, but I adored The Incredibles. It is the first Pixar film, and the first animated film released since I was nine, that I can say I enjoyed without any further qualification. With every animated feature post-Aladdin, I have had to supplement my adulation for the film with a "but." Finding Nemo was good, but a little too sappy. The Lion King was good, but tread on some awfully familiar territory. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was good, but, wait, no, no – it wasn't that good, was it? The Incredibles, on the other hand, is a good film without any buts.
Whereas the former Pixar releases, excepting parts of A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc., were mostly attempts at realism, The Incredibles is a highly stylized picture. It seems that the creative minds at Pixar are finally comfortable enough with their ability to create images exactly as they look that they can now branch out and create visuals that are stylistic exaggerations. Echoing Film Noir, sci-fi, and the 50's in general, the set design is an example of this stylistic bent. Shadows slant jaggedly across the screen, traces of Star Trek can be found in the sliding doors, and the quaintness of familial life – or the appearance of – can be found virtually everywhere. The best word to describe the movie would be organic; the style is subtle, but far more natural than the nigh sterile environ of former Pixar films.
The true hallmark of The Incredibles is the writing. The primary characters are filled out, offering a complete personality rather than one that is monodimensional. This has been a thorn in the side for animated films, where a children's film, nearly without exception, implies a childish film. That is, a film that plays to only one audience, with characters tailored to one specific modality. (It should be noted that Pixar has been better than most in this category.) In The Incredibles, characters are fully formed, running a gamut of emotions and situations. We see Mr. Incredible at both the top and bottom of his game, we see him as a father, we see him as an employee, and we see him as his own individual entity. He is a complex character who obviously had a lot of thought put into him. In my opinion, the pinnacle of the film is the set pieces. They're so much fun that I would hardly be doing anyone a favor by revealing them. Suffice it to say that they are the most entertaining and creative set pieces I have seen since 2003's Intacto.
Built on the foundation of the family film, The Incredibles is far more than its genre. It (hopefully) foretells a future in which a family film can appeal to a larger demographic while still holding fast to its roots.
Opens Nationwide November 5th.

WENATCHEE, Wash. — A first public step has been taken by the U.S. government that could lead to the trade of apples between China and the U.S. within the next year, the president of a Pacific Northwest trade groups says.
The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service opened a 30-day public comment period on Dec. 3 on its draft pest risk assessment for allowing Chinese apples into the U.S.
While the U.S. government does not like to admit there's a link between allowing Chinese apples into the U.S. and gaining U.S. apple access into China, that's what appears to be happening, said Chris Schlect, president of the Northwest Horticultural Council in Yakima. He spoke to Capital Press about the issue while attending the Washington State Horticultural Association meeting in Wenatchee. No public announcement of the development occurred at the meeting.
"We're not trying to hype this. To us it's a big issue but it's also a routine step in the process," Schlect said, while agreeing it is a step forward.
The Washington apple industry, which accounts for the vast majority of U.S. apple exports, long opposed allowing Chinese apples into the U.S. but dropped that opposition a year ago in an effort to gain full varietal access for U.S. apples in China. The reasoning is that Washington shippers stand to gain far more in sales in China than they lose to Chinese apples in the U.S. because of the high quality of Washington apples.
China accepted U.S. Red and Golden Delicious, but not other varieties for years, but cut off Reds and Goldens in August 2012, citing the detection of post-harvest diseases that it wants kept out of its apples. Washington industry officials believe the real reason was to pressure the U.S. into accepting Chinese apples.
Washington typically shipped about 500,000 boxes of apples annually into China before the closure and about 2 million more through Hong Kong.
Progress in both directions between the governments was made during annual bilateral phytosanitary talks the week of Nov. 4 in China, Schlect said.
Site visits to Washington state by China's Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine have yet to occur to reopen China to Reds and Goldens, Schlect said. The hope is that Reds and Goldens will regain access during this shipping season and that full varietal access will come within the next year, he said.
"Nobody pretends it's a great thing to have imported product from some major competitor, to have more product coming in. We have enough," Schlect said. "But we export over 30 percent of our apples and our product is growing. China is a major market with hundreds of millions of new consumers. We think we have world-class apples that will compete nicely there."
Washington apple shippers already compete with China in Canada, Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, he noted.
Packaging, quality and food safety issues likely will prevent China from surging in U.S. sales, he said.
"It's important in China that it's not a one-way street," he said. "We understand their feeling that if they open to us, we should open to them."
Movement is coming because new APHIS leadership is trying new approaches to open China to other commodities as well, he said.
APHIS considered hundreds of potential pests and identified 26 organisms of possible concern in its risk assessment, said Mark Powers, vice president of the Northwest Horticultural Council.
Of the 26, five are listed as not candidates for risk and 21 are potential risks, Powers said.
A group of U.S. technical advisers from several states, known as TREETAC, will review the APHIS pest risk assessment and the Northwest Horticultural Council will comment on it after that, he said. Jim McFerson, manager of the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission in Wenatchee, is chairman of TREETAC.

Fable 3 is the latest installment from Lionhead studios that allows the player to become a hero or a villain in the massive open world of Albion. Set 50 years after Fable 2, the old king of Albion has died and reign has gone to Logan -a King who doesn't seem to have the best intentions of the people at heart!
You play Logan's brother – the Hero – who, after a blazing row with your older brother, flees the kingdom and ends up in the mountains with the Dwellers. Its from here that you start rebuilding your life and plan to build up a revolution of followers to take on Logan's army in the Kingdom and become King yourself.
There are a huge number of quests and missions available – some are optional and are there to help boost your player with experience or money whereas others are part of the epic story. The missions vary from the early menial tasks of fetching or killing a few bandits, to much more interesting and in-depth missions where you will face some more advanced foes and test your skills in battle by using a combination of weapons and magic.
Throughout the game you'll find yourself earning some money – not much at first but it will steadily build up. You can then chose what to do with your hard earned cash – buy some new weapons maybe, or some property so you have a place to stay and rest, maybe furnish the houses own to rent out, or even better – buy a shop so you get regular income over time. You'll soon become a property mogul in Albion and end up owning most of the houses. Be careful though – the temptation to raise prices in shops or rent might seem like a good idea to make a quick buck but the citizens of Albion will start to dislike the idea of a tycoon taking all their money and will turn against you – making you slightly evil.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg as all your actions throughout Fable 3 will either make you loved or hated. As with previous Fable games, you can perform expressions on anyone you meet and try to charm them to get gifts off them, or scare people into doing your bidding. Each action will affect your Karma meter and end up with certain reactions from the locals – you have been warned.
But building up an empire and becoming King is just the start – we were quite chuffed with ourselves when we eventually gain the Kingdom through hard work and some great battles. But little did we know that was just half the game!
Once you become King you will be given a list of Royal duties to perform – including the option to keep the promises you made to your companions you met earlier in the game that helped you to get where you are. The promise you made to a certain party of followers may have an adverse affect on another party of followers or perhaps the treasury of the Kingdom – but you wouldn't break a promise to someone who's reliably helped you out would you? Isn't that how Logan started out?? And so playing the King is perhaps not all that afterall…
If you've ever played a Fable game before then you'll understand why its so successful. The interactive world, the massive locations with tons of quests, the humour injected into the game and the addictiveness of playing just one-more-mission.
the guest appearances by some famous voices is great – James Corden, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Fry – they all pop up from time to time and its literally a who's who of those that wanted to be involved in such a great game.

Morris likes to drive to the hoop, but the Gators have one of the best inside defenders in the county in 5-foot-10 sophomore Kiera Brown. Gardens also has one of the county's top freshmen, Kyandra Poitier, who leads the team in points, so Friday's game will be a good way to start the holiday weekend.
