New Clays, Old Ways
I've been a super busy bee recently, but that's no excuse for not making anything! Besides my "Day job" at a wonderful coffee house, I am also starting to run CLAYPLAY sessions at The Painting Pottery Cafe in Brighton! I demonstrate, teach and assist in Throwing and handbuilding techniques as well as guiding people through various ceramic projects they bring to the evening. check out the website for more info here; http://www.paintingpotterycafe.co.uk/clay-play/
I also had a show at the Candid Arts Trust space, in Islington, London, (The Islington Design and Craft Fair – IDCAF) where I was selling my work among other lovely crafts people. It was my first solo show since uni in terms of setting up and organising the stand as well as applying for the show itself. I had a great time and was quite happy with the look of the show, although I did pick up some tips for next time! Thanks to all who came to support me across the private view and weekend, it was great to see some familiar faces! And a super big Thank You to my parents for helping me to set up, pack down and for keeping me company and supplied with tea and biscuits! I also met a truly lovely couple who gave me some great advice and support over the weekend, who run an amazing knitted textile business (Check out JULES' work here! http://www.juleshogan.com/ )
As I don't have access to my own studio at present, I have been making a few simple pieces at my new flat. I've found it quite therapeutic to just sit and spend a little free time making some pinch pot vessels. They are also a great way to test out how the new clays I've recently acquired perform and if they can mix well together.
I've been experimenting with three different clays here; Vulcan Black Grogged Stoneware (A kind present from my good ceramic friend Souzana!), Scarva's Special Porcelain and Potclays Premium Craft Crank. All of these clays fire to Stoneware temps (1170 – 1300) so I have also tried combining the vulcan black and the porcelain, and they are a little difficult to combine as they are polar opposites! I like the combination of textured black and smooth pure white especially when hand building. When throwing them (after light wedging) the black tended to hide most of the white, whereas there was more control when making the pinch pots. After sanding them off a little, the colour's really stand out against each other! In the photo's none of the pieces are fired yet but I had a little test of the two clays thrown together, and the vulcan black fires as dark as its name suggests, with a nice grogged texture, and the porcelain adds splashes of crisp white.
I'm quite keen to test out a nice glaze or two over these different clays, but perhaps only on the interior, to allow the textures to be enjoyed more. I really love the celadon and dark blue stoneware glazes I was using earlier this year, which would be interesting to test out and hopefully develop some new glazes too!
Pinch Pot Memory Vessels – Birmingham Festival Continued!
So better late than never! Here are the photo's from the rest of the In;site Festival commission, of the memory vessels.
This part of the project was the performance/ participatory section, as I was teaching the public to make pinch pots, which would then be placed on different graves or spaces around the Cathedral, to act as tributes to those that lay there. I wanted to use these small bowls, as I like the idea that people will make them themselves for a loved one, leaving not an imprint of themselves, but also a vessel for others to put things in. Many cultures and religions lay objects onto graves, such as small stones, flowers and coins. This stems back from our ancestors burying their dead with their possessions, such as The Ancient Egyptians, and the Greeks who used to put coins onto the eyes or in the mouth of the deceased to pay the ferryman Charon to row them into the underworld.
As well as a place to leave items that were dear to the deceased, the vessels act as a small memorial on their own – or a place to hold memories of times with the loved one.
I had some really lovely pieces made on the day, and everyone liked the idea that they would be placed onto the graves and around the green space. I really liked the idea of them being washed away in the rain and left for the elements. Some cultures have jewellery and dreamcatchers, that they believe break when the wearer is ready to live without it – for example a bracelet that is used for protection will break when the wearer is deemed out of harm. I hoped that this would transfer into the mourner starting to learn to live with their grief once the bowl starts to erode, that everytime they visit the grave they will become a little stronger, and the vessel a little smaller.
I think they work really well visually, and they are subtle yet intriguing around the site. I like that it becomes a sort of treasure hunt, looking for more as you walk around the space; this also makes people see the grave anew, imaging who the person beneath it was, and to also know that people still care about them even when they are gone.
Thank you to everyone who came and made a pinch pot on the day! I hope to make another series like this, in another graveyard perhaps, or even to make some grave goods or memory objects in the future!
In;Site Festival Commission; Complete!
I've been having a little trouble uploading images, so I have split this blog up, into two of the pieces I made for the project, and the other pieces will be in the next one. I had an amazing two days in Birmingham (again more blog posts to follow of what else I got up to on my trip!), a city I have never visited before, to take part in Craftspace's IN:SITE Festival in Birmingham Cathedral!
After a quick briefing and being introduced to the staff and volunteers, I started rolling out slabs for the big "Homage to the Unknown" urn. I had found out that around "80,000 people were buried in the cathedral churchyard. It was closed to new burials in 1885 because of crowding and insanitary conditions, but new interments could still take place in existing vaults and brick-lined graves." (https://birminghamcathedral.wordpress.com/page/3/) I wanted to find a way to celebrate all those unknown people; those that have no grave marker but were still wonderful, beautiful and interesting nonetheless. I rolled slabs of clay onto different parts of the cathedral grounds to add impressions of the place, to imbue them with the spirit of the Cathedrals humble, unknown tenants. Then I constructed them into the urn, with a nod to the architecture of the church and to traditional urn and coffin shapes to influence the form.
I did have a few problems with the slabs drying out much too fast – it was such a brilliantly sunny and hot day, that as I was constructing the piece, it started to crack and become too dry and fragile to join nicely. I was also using porcelain (Scarva Special Porcelain), which I have not used much for handbuilding and can dry out quite easily. Its a lovely clay which I enjoy working with; it is soft and pure looking, but can also be manipulated well and can take a lot of texture, which is what I was after. I managed to avoid disaster by making the two halves separately, and keeping them nice and damp in plastic bags for a while. Usually a piece this size would be made over a few days, and then once it was constructed as a whole, wrapped up and allowed to dry out slowly over a week or so, so I was pretty pleased with the outcome!
Placement of the finished pieces were an important aspect of the commission, and I chose to set this piece on the steps of one of the cathedral entrances. This was to elevate it to show the importance of the unknown people, and to place it in a more protected and sheltered area of the grounds.
I also made a tribute to Samuel Lines, but I decided that it was too hot to make the urn shape I intended, as the clay would dry out too fast and crack apart or be too soft to hold its form if I left it covered up. So I decided to make a flat memorial instead. I still used the impressions of artists instruments, and the words from his blue plaque to make a more contemporary and fun memorial.
The pieces are a little rougher and a bit unfinished to how I usually work, but I'm really pleased with what I captured in only one day. Ceramics is temperamental and takes time and so making pieces such as these in a day was quite a challenge! I really enjoyed engaging with the public about my work and encouraging people to also take part and make some small pieces themselves, but more about that part of the project in the next post!
I also want to say a BIG thank you to Craftspace for inviting me to make work for their festival, and to all the staff and amazing volunteers who supported me on the day, and in the lead up to the commission.
Sneak Peak; In;Site Festival Ideas
I have my first commission for Craftspace's In;site festival in Birmingham in a few days! I have been working on some different ideas, all of which need to be able to be created in one day, outside in Birmingham Cathedral.
My proposal involved making Urns for historical local figures, and then another as a tribute to some of the unknown people of Birmingham, using the grounds and graves to roll clay onto to imbue the surface with texture and an essence of the people and place.
The historical person I found most interesting who has connections to the cathedral, is Samuel Lines; a painter, designer and art teacher who lived and worked in Birmingham from the late 1700's, until his death in 1863. He was a founding member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and was also a wonderful Landscape painter.
These shapes are inspired by the architecture of the Cathedral itself – I liked the domes on the top of the tower, and wanted to incorporate this shape into Samuel's urn, and for the unknown's tribute, I wanted to reflect the beautiful strong lines and cubic shapes of the main building. As I will be slab building the Unknown's Urn, I wanted the structure is be fairly simple to let the impressions on the clay speak for themselves.
These are some small models of what I hope to be making out in the graveyard. I am going to be working with Scarva Special porcelain, which is a lovely smooth white clay which will take impressions well, and is nice to handbuild as well as throw with.
I like the way that objects and different materials leave traces and imprints on the clay surface, and so for Samuel's Urn, I am using artists materials as well as imagery from the Blue Plaque on his old place of residence to decorate the piece.
The artists materials leave wonderful marks and also remind me of the silhouettes of buildings and city skylines; of which Birmingham is one of the largest in the country. I also wanted to use familiar imagery – so that people can understand a fragment of the mans life, and bring him into a more contemporary focus – not as just a long dead painter!
I will be posting more about the project in a few days, after I have completed my day at the festival! Please come and say hello if you are around Birmingham Cathedral on Friday 11th September!
I am Stocked in Quince's of Brighton!
I met lovely Anne who owns Quince, a beautiful florists and decorative arts shop in the Laines of Brighton at an Open House private view earlier this year. She came to see my degree show and I now have a selection of some of my small vessels and my porcelain brooches for sale in her shop! This is the first shop I have work in, and hopefully one of many more to come! I'm pleased how great they look with the small flower arrangements in; perfect for the mantle piece at home, as wedding table decorations or even as a small flower holder on a grave (versatility on all fronts!)
The shop is on Nile Street, and the website can be found at http://www.quincebrighton.com/
Memory Boxes and Disks
From my research, I have learnt that many people think that keeping objects from a loved one is useful in the process of grieving and remembrance. People like to keep little trinkets and objects; letters, key rings, jewellery and photographs. But what if these most valuable items were lost, or damaged?
These memory boxes are created using a selection of photographs and objects that have been left to the living to make a memory disk. The Memory Disk is then fired onto the lid of a ceramic box – preserving the ephemera forever.
The two examples are from personal relics left to me that belonged to my grandfather or associated with his death, which I have made my own memory box for.
The other is from a collection of items that were found left behind at a disused building, which have allowed me to make a second box, based on someone I am unfamiliar with.
The making of these two Memory Disks has allowed me to create a formula, so that I can reproduce these ideas, but with different people, objects and photographs. Connections between objects and their owners can be very strong and these connections allow us to continue to bond with and remember those who have left us.
To make the pieces, I start by making drawings and taking photographs of the persons objects and the things they have collected throughout their life. I use their photographs and then start to build up imagery using drawing and watercolour painting.
The images are fused together to make the memory disks. These are then sent away to be specially printed and made into decals, which are then fired onto the lids of the boxes. I am considering taking commissions, so please contact me if you would like to know more!
Today is also the private View of my Graduate show at Brighton University! The show is open to the public from Saturday 6th to Sunday 14th June. . Aside from Ceramics, there are also makers showing jewellery, design products, furniture, sculpture and much more! Other courses such as Fashion, Textiles, Illustration, Graphics, Sculpture and Fine Art will also be exhibiting across the Grand parade Campus. You can find my work in the Design and Craft Section (in room 150) on the first floor.
Upcoming Degree Show and The History of Blue
I have been so busy making recently, and there are only two days left of the degree show build! The Private view is on the 5th June, and then it opens to the public (For Free!) from the 6th till the 14th June. Here are some of the pieces that I will be exhibiting up in the Master of Design and Craft section, and a short piece about the History of Blue, and its use in my current work.
These are some of the Scatter Jars / Urns for partial remains.
Dual Urns
I have already documented these urns in a previous post, but now they have multiplied!
As well as using earthenware glazes, I have also been developing stoneware ones, such as the glossy blue one above, and using lustres to add luxurious detailing. I love experimenting with glazes, and one of my favourite glaze applications is spray glazing. I have been developing the spray technique even more this year by using different shades of blue combined together, as well as lustres and enamels to add layers of colour, pattern and texture.
I have been researching into the colour BLUE extensively for this project, and have written a short piece about the history of the colour and why I am using it in my work.
Blue is a colour that has evolved to mean many diverse things, to different cultures and people. It's meaning and symbolic purpose has changed many times, elevating it to more than a colour to paint a living room wall in.
Blue is not an "Earth colour", in that it does not naturally occur, or cannot be found and used without man's intervention. Only when humans began mining could they use it. The first blue was created in this way in Afghanistan around 6000 years ago when the Ancient Egyptians began mining Lapis Lazuli. It was highly prized and was combined with gold to adorn the Pharaoh's tombs and palaces, and is often linked with their ideas of heaven, and of rebirth.1 They also created an additional blue by heating limestone, sand and copper to form calcium copper silicate which became known as the royal turquoise pigment "Egyptian Blue".
The Mesoamericans created another "Great Blue" of the Ancient civilisations; "Mayan Blue" which is thought to have been made by a mix of indigo plant extract, a clay mineral called Palygorskite, and resin from the Maya's sacred incense Copal. They used this blue in ritual contexts; in offerings, as a by-product of making incense2 and in murals. The Blue-green colour was used by priests and was related to ideas around death. For this reason the sacrificed and the sacrifice stones were painted blue.3 These rituals were a way to communicate with the dead, show gratitude to the gods, and to ward of evil.
Blue remained rare and expensive until the dawn of the industrial age, possibly explaining its use and association to royalty and divinity. In his 303AD painting of the Scrovegni Chapel, Giotto used the expensive blue pigment made from Lapis Lazuli to adorn the ceiling. The ceiling is Giotto's depiction of heaven, of paradise; a blue expanse festooned with golden stars and Jesus, Mary and other saintly figures gazing down to earth. "Blue is a veil that hides great mystery, it hides what lies beyond it, beyond the stars. This is the great mystery that God hints at, through the colour blue."4
Christianity bestows this most sacred of colours onto one of its most famous religious icons; The Virgin Mary. She wears "a dark, wonderful and expensive blue, befitting the Queen of Heaven."5 Later, "Mary Blue" became Navy Blue, a colour denoting trustworthiness and authority, often used by bankers and the police. The United Nations even chose a less severe, softer shade of Robin's egg blue for their uniforms.
Artists have often used blue in their works as the ultimate colour of emotion and deep feelings; Van Gogh's Starry Night, Gauguin's Clovis Sleeping, Dali's Burning Giraffe and Munch's The Kiss. Most of these painters used blue as an expression of depression, angst and sometimes even existential crisis, but perhaps none to the extreme as to match the artist who had an entire period of his early career devoted to this idea. Pablo Picasso's famous Blue Period is a testament to despair and redemption, to depression, and according to the great psycho analyst Carl Yung, even potential schizophrenia and mental breakdown. He painted these series of mostly portraits after the suicide of his best friend Casagemas, many of which the dead man appeared in. It is thought that Picasso used these works and the colour blue as a catharsis, painting the depression and sadness out of his life. Another artist that uses blue, almost as the sole colour and ethos of his work is Yves Klein. He invented his own blue, "International Klein Blue" as a symbol of escape – from conformity, social pressures and capitalism. He was obsessed by it; the colour of the sea and sky; of infinity. It is all around us, but always just out of reach. He wanted a blue revolution, and called his blue masterpieces "Open Windows to Freedom"6
Blue has great complexity of symbolism and meaning; it has evolved greatly in different cultures. In American culture, "having the Blues" and "Feeling Blue" are symbols of depression, most notably connected with the musical style Rhythm and Blues (RnB); in Korea dark blue is the colour of mourning. However, in Mexico it is a colour that wards off evil and in India is used for protection and luck. In Hinduism Vishnu, the protector and preserver of the universe, is shown as having blue skin. The phrase "out of the blue" alludes to the great mysteries of life, or as coming from nowhere. To be awarded a blue ribbon is a high achievement.
Lastly during the 1960's space race, the world saw its first images of what our world looked like – the Blue Planet. From this great celestial globe, hanging in a sea of black, illuminated by the stars, we saw blue for what it really was; the colour of home.
By investigating the colour blue, I have used these ideas and connotations to add layers of meaning to my own work. I am strongly drawn to the blue colour palette, as it shows a wide range of depth and emotion. By researching into what the colour blue means and its history as an evolving colour, I have used it to describe the journey of grief. Blue portrays grief, compassion, understanding, mourning and sadness but also a lightness and a warmth, it comes with royal and respectful connotations; sentiments that will help the grieving to grow and heal from their loss.
I enjoy the richness and the abundance of the colour, and the many shades and variations it comes in. I have used so many tones within my pieces to celebrate blue, and to allow each piece to mean something different to each person who perceives it – some will identify with the intense, vivid blues, that are thought to offer protection and ward of evil and others the quiet, more reflective lighter blue pieces that promote calmness. Everyone will experience death and mourning in numerous ways; so some will cope in a way that may seem distant or strange to our own. This collection aims to serve different notions of death and grieving, but to ultimately bring us all together in understanding and compassion.

(For video of Pura Vida and an interview with J Madden, click here.)
After four years of ramping up his high-end urban health club model, Pura Vida, and proving it could survive even during a recession, J Madden is looking for a new zip code in which to expand the model.
"It would be fun to have the opportunity to expand our wings," Madden says.
Pura Vida is a 30,000-square-foot facility with yoga and Pilates studios, a Kinesis room, a spa, a pro shop area, cardio and strength areas and a parking garage all across the street from the upscale Cherry Creek Shopping Center in Denver. Some smaller urban clubs offer a "hipper, groovier" nightclub setting for an audience that likes that, Madden says, but he created Pura Vida to be a clean, modern, fresh, sensory experience that is not locked into a certain genre.
Situated in an affluent neighborhood, Madden could have marketed the health club as exclusive, but once the recession began in full steam, his team began marketing it as inclusive instead. Branding it as such helped the club attract members of all incomes, Madden says. Instead of members being exclusively people with high incomes, members are people who see Pura Vida as fitting their lifestyle and who choose to spend their money on their health and wellness rather than someplace else.
Initially, the average age of members was 53 years old, but once the inclusive marketing began, that average dropped to 36 years old, Madden says. Members range from 18 years old to 70 years old.
Despite the desire to be inclusive, Madden concedes that he had to price his club a little higher than many facilities in Denver. Lowering the $165 per month membership dues even by $50 would have meant he likely would have to turn people away.
"What we want to do is have separation from our competition, maybe exceed expectations of what has been tested in the market before," Madden says. "There is pricing associated with that. You have to be at a point where it is more discretionary, more discriminating."
More than 20 percent of Pura Vida's members come from outside Denver, many from one of the coasts where they may be used to paying the $165 per month membership dues, Madden says.
All of these elements helped Pura Vida grow during the recession, showing that the model can work, Madden says. Because the club is still maturing, Madden would not share revenue numbers. However, at $165 per month on 2,000 memberships, annual dues revenue could equate to about $3.9 million (which does not include ancillary revenue)—a number Madden did not confirm. However, Madden did share that as of last month, revenue at Pura Vida was up 18 percent year over year.
The club has reached Madden's goal of 60 percent of revenue coming from dues (which covers operating costs) and 40 percent coming from nondues (which goes to investors). Twenty-five percent of the nondues revenue comes from SpaVital, the company's spa business, while the other 75 percent comes from personal training and Pilates equipment classes.
Madden also owns 25-year-old Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club, Greenwood Village, CO. Both clubs are based on providing high-quality service, he says, but the brands are different in their demographics (Greenwood is more family-oriented and Pura Vida is more single-oriented), their location (Greenwood is in the suburbs and Pura Vida is in urban Denver) and a different approach to fitness programming (Greenwood offers tried-and-true classes and Pura Vida offers cutting-edge classes).
"So there is continuity in ideas but under a different wrapper in a more urban and modern approach that Pura Vida is," Madden says.
At one time, replicating his 14-acre, 152,000-square-foot Greenwood facility in another city might have been a possibility, Madden says, but too many operators are already running large, high-end suburban models elsewhere, and the cost to replicate Greenwood would be prohibitive. However, the same is not true of Pura Vida.
"Pura Vida is transportable; Greenwood is not," Madden says.
Although many operators today expand through licensing or franchising, Madden is not considering franchising.
"I don't understand the franchise," Madden says. "I do understand how to do it on my own. But the stars have to align and many things have to happen before that ever becomes remotely a possibility."
Madden would not disclose the buildout cost of Pura Vida, but he says the next Pura Vida would not be as expensive to build, due to lessons learned from the surprises encountered during the gutting of the four-story building that had been a well-known bookstore in Denver.
"Our build-out numbers morphed more than we had hoped," Madden says. "We are far more sophisticated on this matter now and believe that when we build the next Pura Vida, our construction budget will not have surprises in it but will be based on hard and defined numbers."
Although he says that he often works from his gut (which has served him well in the past), this son of a real-estate developer says he would prefer to fully investigate locations for a second Pura Vida, naming Palo Alto, CA, and Bellevue, WA, as possibilities. However, he has yet to do much investigating, he says.
"Maybe someone will decide for me. Maybe someone will say that we are looking for you," Madden says, but then adds, "If nothing happened, it would be fine, too. It's not going to make my life. My 10-year-old twins—it's not going to matter to them."

They were designed to make people laugh, but the Nobel Prize parody awards known as the Ig Nobels have actually brought attention to some hard-hitting scientific discoveries.
While uncovering the mystery of what makes banana peels so slippery, for example, a team of Japanese physicists nailed the fruit's hidden quality that could someday help engineers craft a flexible artificial joint for a prosthetic limb.
As it turns out, the same type of slippery-smooth gels that make banana peels slide also help lubricate our joints. Underneath their brown and yellow exterior, banana skins are lined with hundreds of tiny sacs of the gooey substance, which the scientists dubbed "polysaccharide follicular gel."
We have a similar substance in our own bodies called synovial fluid. It lines the places where our elbows, knees and other joints slip-and-slide and keeps the bones from rubbing together and wearing away. When all those tiny sacs in the banana skin get compressed — or stepped on — they burst, forming a single super-slimy surface prime for slippage.
To land on their finding, the scientists first tested the slipperiness, or friction, of a banana peel on a linoleum plate (to mimic how much a shoe on the fruit would slide on a typical floor) and compared it with how much a shoe would slide on a banana-free floor. A small tool called a "force transducer" was used to measure exactly how much sliding took place.
The shoe on a banana peel was far more slippery (and less frictional, as shown in the chart below), than a plain old floor.
Not to be outdone by other fruits, the researchers compared the slippery qualities of a banana peel with those of other pieces of produce, including apples, oranges and tangerines.
Not surprisingly, the banana skins were the least resistant to slippage. Learning more about the material that makes banana peels so slippery could help engineers created a synthetic substance with the same qualities needed to make artificial limbs behave more like real ones.
Who says fruit is just for eating?

BOSTON, Mass. - Sophomore Kelsey MacDonald (Oak Bluffs, Mass.) lofted a direct kick from 25 yards out into the upper left corner 10 minutes into the second half Saturday afternoon to give the Plymouth State University women's soccer team the winning margin in a 2-1 win over Little East Conference foe University of Massachusetts Boston at the Clark Athletic Center.
The Panthers improve to 5-2-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the conference, while the Beacons fall to 1-4-0 overall and 0-1-0 in the LEC.
Plymouth State took a 1-0 lead when sophomore Kelsey McBride (Brookline, N.H.) headed a cross from junior Casey Bishop (Topsham, Maine) into the right side of the UMB net just 5:44 into the match. UMass Boston equaled the score when sophomore Lara Miele (Medford, Mass.) delivered a cross from the right side of the PSU goal and found sophomore Jenney Pascarelli (South Boston, Mass.), who deposited the ball into the right corner at 20:31 for a 1-1 tie.
The Panthers outshot the Beacons, 26-6, including 12-3 in the second half, but could only manage one more goal, the game-winner by MacDonald.
Junior Kurstin Meehan (Edgartown, Mass.) stopped 14 shots for UMass Boston, while PSU junior Hayley Quinones (Waitsfield, Vt.) made one save in the first half and classmate Beth McAloon (Bedford, N.H.) turned away both shots she faced in the second half to earn the victory.
PSU visits Worcester State Tuesday evening for a non-conference match-up (7:00 p.m.), while UMB travels to Nashua, N.H. on Wednesday to take on Rivier College (7:00 p.m.).

As happened in many other Italian city-states, at the beginning of the XI century the ruling class of Ravenna began to raise numerous noble towers as a symbol of power and social prestige. One of them was Torre Civica (Municipal Tower), built in the 12th century and originally called "dei beccai" (of butchers), due to the butchers' shops that used to stand along the bridge Ponte Marino which crossed River Padenna, the main channel flowing within the medieval walls of Ravenna.
At the end of the 13th century, all noble towers and fortilices were demolished by order of the papal rector, who wanted to establish his power over the city. Torre Civica was the only tower escaping demolition because it had previously become the property of the city. The 39-metre tower was used for centuries as a watchtower and occupied by a guard who would ring a bell in case of alarm, fire or flooding, or for the summoning of the town council. In 2000, the top of Torre Civica was removed in order to prevent the possible collapse of the structure, which is subject to a slow underground landslide and consequently to a gradual inclination, caused by its proximity to the ancient river Padenna.
Two peculiar stone fragments depicting a head inside a niche, probably of a woman, and a horseman, turning his back to her, remain at the base of the tower. Along the centuries, the bizarre position of the fragments inspired the citizens of Ravenna, who invented the saying "cercar Mariola per Ravenna" (searching for Mariola in Ravenna), meaning to look for something that is really close without finding it.

The opportunity to share my opinions or the discovery of an interesting piece of news is an extraordinary experience. Sitting in front of a blank piece of paper to give shape to a story was "love at first letter." It resemebles in a way my fascination with sitting to recreate with pen and paper in my diary what happened during my adolescent days. I was born and grew up in Santo Domingo in the Domincan Republic and have a degree in social communications.I know I'm Latina when... ...every time a loud merengue plays, all I want to do is get up and dance.

Recently, I've been reflecting on my life as a birth doula and answering some interesting questions from friends and colleagues about my role.
The conversations I have had have made me think about the crossover between my doula life and my personal one and how I can use the knowledge from one and implement it in my daily life.
Research has shown that hiring a doula can have a positive effect on a woman's experience of birth and in today's article, I thought it would be good to write down the top five things that I have been reflecting on from my doula world.
Relax and take your time
We rush from one thing to another in our busy lives, not focusing on one thing at a time but spreading ourselves thinly. We fail to stop and really take notice of the world around us.
I have found that if a labouring woman is left to herself, without intervention and well-meaning cheerleading from her observers, it can be an amazing process to watch. She trusts that the process will take some time and her body will perform and it's all ok. It's nature, and she goes with it.
Being present at a birth has helped me to rethink my ways of being in the world and slowing down a little to focus on one thing at a time. I take long walks with my dog first thing in the morning and I embrace the light and the rising sun and listen to the sounds of the birds. I allow time to flow like my labouring mother. No agenda. No rush.
2. Listen to your body
The labouring woman listens and trusts that her body will find it's own rhythm and space. In an active birth, she will often finds a place to stand or squat for each surge and she breaths her way through the sensations. She trusts that her body will do the work and she focuses inward
If we are busy rushing around, we don't have time to listen to our body. There are so many sights and sounds, conflicting demands on our time and the whispers are being drowned out by the assault on our senses.
It's time to do things differently.
3. A Divine Plan
I am often amazed by the woman's body and how it works. I love watching nature take its course and it makes me feel that there is a wonderful divine plan at work. Watching this process unfold is incredible and I always feel privileged to be part of a woman's birth story.
I think about this grand design when I am walking the dog and I look at the trees and the sky and enjoy my time in nature. Whether you believe that there is a great divine plan and who it is created by – God, The Universe, Nature – you don't have to have a name for it to enjoy it.
4. Surround yourself with support
Women book doula's for a number of reasons. They may have had a difficult first birth and feel that they would like more support this time around. They may be first-time mums and feel that they are bombarded with negativity from others and are looking for a more balanced and positive view of the birthing world.
having a companion fully present in the moment, can be tremendously beneficial to her mental health and confidence.
Since starting my business, I have found amazing support from others in the small business world. There's a wonderful community of women who are there for each other and willing to listen to the business issue of the day or help with suggestions. Sometimes just knowing that they are there and that they have my best interests at heart can feel great.
This makes me think about how a doula can support a birthing woman by walking alongside her during her transition from woman to mother.
Listening, watching and being.
5. The use of alternative therapies
I have been interested in the use of alternative therapies for many years and got a lot of benefit from treatments in the past, but it's only recently when treating my pregnancy ladies that I have seen first hand how helpful they can be.
I help my clients relax and feel strong and empowered during their pregnancy with reflexology and positive birthing classes in my garden space. Towards the end of their pregnancy, I can encourage a natural labour with a treatment especially deigned for induction, if the baby is ready.
I love using aromatherapy oils during labour by placing a few drops on a tissue on the radiator to scent the room or added to a carrier oil for a massage or reflexology session.
There are some oils that are helpful during pregnancy and some that you should avoid.
I use a reiki self-healing ritual in the morning to clear my energy before the day and sometimes at night after my bath. Alternative therapies can have a subtle effect and can really help you in day to day life.
Best job in the world!
I love my role in promoting a positive birth experience for a woman and her partner and I relish adapting when I learn from doula-ing for use in my life.
I now listen to myself a lot more and when I'm tired, I rest. When I'm hungry I eat healthy foods or a smoothie. I surround myself with happy, supportive women and I allow nature to take its course instead of trying to rush things.
I hope you've enjoyed my top five take-aways and it's made you think about ideas to implement in your daily routine. I would love to hear about five values or activities that you take from your work into your life so comment in the box below.

"They will probably freeze nicely for a few months. Get picking! :)"
Did we? Noooo. So now I sit, wishing I had listened and picked more. The jelly turned out fantastic. I would now be very pleased to have a few dozen additional jars of this lovely jelly. Live and learn.
My mom and I [mostly my mom] made the jelly, and we had a chance to talk about how my grandmother Viviane took great pride in the clarity of her cranberry jelly. She used a jelly bag – which I remember as a kid – never pressing the berries, and making an ultra-clear 'extra virgin' sophisticated jelly. Next year I'm picking loads more, and my grandma's jelly bag is coming out. Glad my mom stashed it away. We're gonna make it up old-school.

Laura is a genius. Well, she'd have to be to wind up with a guy like me. Anyway, she is a fountain of good teaching ideas. Her latest wholly-original, gloriously-simple yet highly successful activity is called the Category Game.
It's another all-purpose solution to "anything ok".
Expect to fill 20-25 mins including explanation and wrapping up. Can work with all JHS grades with some tweaking.
The name may well be the most complicated part. Follow these simple steps:
- Make about 12 different categories (like sports, animals etc) and put them in an envelope. You will need one numbered envelope for each group (~4 students each), but don't give them out.
- Give each group a dictionary or two
- One student from each group must come to the front and take a category from his/her group's envelope
- Challenge them to find five words for each category as fast as possible (e.g. bear, duck etc for animals)
- When they have five words, they must bring their sheet to you for your approval. If it's okay, they take another category
- The winning group is the one with the most succesfully completed categories at the end of the game (set a time limit of 10-15 mins)
As always, you can use this for free, but please don't repost it anywhere else (linking back here is fine, though!)

Transforming Leaders. Transforming Healthcare.
The Executive Master of Healthcare Leadership is an accelerated program of intense study focused on leading transformative change in the healthcare industry. The faculty and participants in the program have a depth of experience in the healthcare industry and are fully engaged in addressing the gaps and constraints of the current system. The course of study is tailored to this industry and leadership development is purposefully considered in the healthcare context.
With this program, students:
- Benefit from Brown's strength in public health, public policy, health economics, and evidence-based medicine
- Examine the conditions and limitations of healthcare systems around the world and confront the challenges of reformulating them
- Contribute significantly to peer-to-peer learning while working closely with expert faculty
- Gain a comprehensive perspective that goes beyond local concerns, and develop the knowledge and skills to create flexible, responsive and sustainable organizations across the healthcare industry
- Leave the classroom well-positioned to lead in the clinical, corporate, and public sectors; interpret and use data for sound decision making; and promote outstanding health care for patients as well as financial health for their organizations
Instructors: Jon Kingsdale, PhD and Anya Wallack, PhD
In this course, students appraise past and current healthcare policy developments. Students explore some of the peculiar features of medical care in the U.S. from the patient's perspective, and in terms of coverage, financing, and special populations. Students put the U.S. healthcare system in perspective by critically examining various methods of health services delivery and financing in other countries. Participants examine various efforts in the U.S. to change the delivery of medical care, as they question assumptions, think creatively and consider integrated patient care solutions. The objective is to ground the students' ability to lead change in an understanding of the current financing and delivery system, to provide some sense of the degree of change in the status quo that is possible, and to prepare them to lead new paradigms of integrated care in the U.S. and globally.
On completion of this course, students will be able to compare and contrast U.S. healthcare policies to those of other nations, and explore the potential applications of importing and exporting these practices to demonstrate how political, economic, social, and cultural determinants have shaped the evolution of current national, regional, and local healthcare policies. Throughout this course, students collaborate to develop their critical challenge projects and a healthcare system model focused on integrated patient care.
Instructor: Laurence Chait, MBA
In this course, participants explore the meaning of value creation in healthcare organizations—how it relates to high performance, how it varies and is measured in different healthcare segments, and how it is embodied in the structure and performance of their own organizations. Understanding the tools and techniques of "high performance" is a key to building flexible, responsive, innovative organizations that can adapt and continue to create value in the constantly changing healthcare environment.
A primary focus of the course is on the role of the students as leaders in their own healthcare organizations. A holistic and highly practical High Performance Model of enterprise value creation is presented, and its elements and their relationships are discussed. These elements include tools and techniques such as strategic planning, process improvement, and resource and organizational alignment—as well as change management and knowledge leverage. The elements are discussed from the perspectives of a variety of healthcare organizations, including hospitals, medical practices, healthcare product manufacturers, care providers, insurance companies, and government agencies.
Most importantly, the model is discussed from a practical standpoint—how the participants can apply it to create value in their own organizations. Achieving "high performance" is a key to building flexible, responsive, innovative organizations that can adapt and continue to create value in the constantly changing healthcare environment. Also discussed is how collaborations among organizations in the healthcare arena can support and leverage value creation.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe and give examples of how different healthcare organizations (including their own organizations) create or fail to create value; describe the High Performance Model of value creation, its elements, the relationships among those elements, and the significance of the model; and employ the model to create value for their own healthcare organizations, including the roles and effectiveness of strategy, process, resources, and organization.
Instructor: Jim Austin, MPA, MURP
In the rapidly changing landscape of today, healthcare leaders require critical management and marketing skills to help them guide the transformation of their organizations. In this course, students develop several essential management and marketing skills, specifically in negotiation, conflict management, collaboration, team building, branding, and social media. Students assess their personal leadership styles and build a robust plan for continuous leadership development. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing how these skills are applied in healthcare vis-a-vis other industries.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to dissect leadership theory and practice to maximize the potential for effective leadership within their organizations and importantly contribute to critical negotiations for transformative change within the healthcare sector.
Through the continuous development of teamwork skills specific to healthcare organizations and analysis, role-playing, and discussion; students will create a robust personal plan for leadership development; emphasizing the specific management and marketing skills that contribute to their effective leadership.
This course provides an overview of the methods and applications of therapy economics, biostatistics and epidemiology in healthcare decision-making. Specific topics include: pharmacoeconomics, decision analysis, comparative effectiveness research, and technology assessment; program evaluation; the critical review and interpretation of published epidemiological studies, institutional oversight of epidemiological research programs; the key four steps of statistical analysis (identification of scientific programs or problems of interest, collection of the required data, analysis and summary of data, and generation of a conclusion).
The primary goal of this course is to enhance each participant's ability to conduct, supervise, and review health-related program, procedure, and product research, based on fundamental concepts and pragmatic applications of epidemiology, biostatistics, decision analysis, and economics. There is an emphasis on the critical review of professional reading as a method to enhance the ability to process conflicting study results and correctly appraise published printed and electronic information.
Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to supervise and collaboratively undertake various types of economic evaluations of technology when confronted with the real- world constraints of time, data and budget. Specifically, students will be able to explain and apply basic terminology, concepts, and definitions of epidemiology, health economics, and statistics, interpret measures of disease occurrence and measures of effect, understand the advantages and disadvantages of common study designs in statistics, pharmacoeconomics, health care technology assessments, comparativeness effectiveness research, and epidemiology. Students will work collaboratively to develop and implement an analytical plan that relates to their Critical Challenge Project.
Instructor: David Dosa, MD, MPH
This course explores the culture of decision-making as well as the structure and role of key US and international regulatory bodies. Students explore how healthcare is regulated, focusing on the major question asked of every health care system: Do existing regulations improve quality, enhance access, and control cost? Within this context, the topics of risk management, public health, and product/drug regulation are emphasized.
At the end of this course, students will be able to define the various ways that healthcare is – or can be – regulated to improve quality, enhance access and control costs. This course will empower students to discuss the policy issues and conflicts that underlie regulation; they will be able to identify and opine on the forces that drive regulation at the local, state, and federal level; critique and contrast international healthcare regulation, and explain how it differs from that seen in the United States; identify public health challenges that can often contradict personal liberties; assess how health care is changing, and be able to speculate how advancements in technology will affect health care regulation in the future. Participants will be able to relate particular past, existing, or future regulatory initiatives to their Critical Challenge Projects.
Instructor: Mark Schneider, MBA
Participants identify and exploit the leverage available from information technology in improving patient care, through the study and use of electronic patient records, electronic personal health records, patient-provider-payer portals security requirements, computerized prescribing, electronic documentation, the use of data for standard reports, scorecards, dashboards, and sharing of information for research.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to recognize the issues that led to the current state of health information technology (HIT) and the barriers that need to be overcome for HIT to be a positive agent for change in healthcare. Students will also be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to provide strategic vision and leadership regarding implementing HIT in their Critical Challenge.
Instructor: Randy Peto, MD, MPH
In this course, students explore the quality improvement drivers, principles, systems, and tools that help create a healthcare learning organization. Students discover how quality improvement creates value, how to demonstrate the value of quality improvement to their colleagues, and how to ultimately develop a culture of learning within their organization. Students compare the learning needs of healthcare organizations to those in other industries. Students design and implement a quality improvement project within their own organization, and develop a "learning organization roadmap" for their organization.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to assess the drivers and history of previous efforts to build systems of improvement within healthcare organizations; explore how to use systems, principles, and tools of improvement to increase quality and value within healthcare organizations; and develop a plan to transform their institutions into learning organizations.
Instructor: Joseph Coyne, Dr.P.H., MPH
This course focuses on the area of financial management as applied to international health organizations. The emphasis in this course is to apply the principles and concepts of international health financial management to global health providers that represent innovative new structures and organizations, such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) offering integrated patient care. Students will gain competency in the application of financial analysis tools and techniques internationally through a case study approach. The financial tools and techniques covered include: (1) working capital management and cash budgeting; (2) break-even analysis and contribution margin analysis using "what-if" scenarios; (3) pricing analysis techniques under different competitive conditions; (4) financial condition analysis using financial statements from international healthcare companies; (5) capital budgeting and cost of capital analysis techniques; (6) return on investment analysis techniques as applied to global healthcare investment ventures; and (7) financial forecasting of future cash flows. Students will gain competencies in interpreting data for sound decision making through application of these financial tools and techniques through case assignments and a class project to analyze the financial results of high performing healthcare organizations serving global markets.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to utilize a comprehensive range of tools and techniques that can assist them in future financial decision making in complex, multinational healthcare organizations. Students will be able to employ these methods and tools in a meaningful manner that relates to their Critical Challenge Project.
The Critical Challenge: Capstone Project
Instructors: All EMHL faculty
The Critical Challenge Project (CCP) course is an independent project that spans the duration of the Executive Master of Healthcare Leadership (EMHL) program. Each student identifies a critical challenge related to healthcare upon applying to the Executive Master of Healthcare Leadership program; the challenge could relate to his/her organization or to a personal interest. Throughout EMHL, each student works collaboratively with a variety of people including their EMHL peers, professional colleagues, course faculty, advisors, and chairs, integrating various perspectives across healthcare sectors to develop possible solutions to his or her challenge.
Students draw upon knowledge and skills from their coursework with particular emphasis on collaborating across healthcare sectors, considering ethical implications, communicating effectively, and developing innovative, transformative, creative, and viable solutions. In addition, students think critically about their challenges throughout their coursework, leveraging course assignments to make progress on discreet components of their critical challenge project, including development of their strategic plan, business plan, and quality improvement plan. Students relate other assignments, as appropriate, to their CCPs.
Key principles students use to define their CCPs include:
- Relevant – meaningful to the student in terms of background, interests, current job, future aspirations, and/or organization
- Consequential – project is broad enough scope to have an impact on stakeholders across the healthcare industry, including patients, providers, and payers
- Realistic – feasible and viable set of steps and expectations within the 16-month program (the overarching challenge does not need to be resolved within the program, but measurable progress toward the defined CCP must be reasonable and appropriate)
- Measurable – contains measurable outcomes of success

There's an old story about an event, which supposedly happened as the great city of Constantinople was falling. An emergency meeting was held that day by bishops from all corners of the Byzantine empire to determine a question of great importance: when a fly falls into the holy water, is the water contaminated or the fly sanctified? Constantine fell and no one cared further for the question nor the answer.
Last year we were discussing The Spear and a few weeks ago an ad. Not that there was no legitimate concern but the manner in which it was addressed consumed the nation in ways it really shouldn't have. Unlike the anecdote I told above, neither the ANC nor South Africa is about to fall but there are small cracks that are not beyond fixing. I do not claim to be a prophet but from where I sit, it's not about to happen.
The ANC probably has the potential to achieve the greatest good for the country at this given point in time. Take a chill pill, dear Democratic Alliance-supporting reader, you know that's the truth. On the other hand, the ANC also has the potential to cause the greatest harm to the country, and this is where the problem lies. The power of the ANC is such that the lines between the party and state have become incredibly murky. In some instances it could be argued that the party has become the state. We are in potential danger of turning from a democracy to a party-ocracy if you will. Make no mistake, we are still very democratic and free. We can say what we want, when we want and how we want – although there can be consequences from the powerful, they can still be challenged in court.
I refuse to believe that the ANC has secret ill intentions to destroy the country as some are bound to believe. However I do think its carelessness and perhaps some of its arrogance can derail it. They genuinely believe they are doing good for the country and many in the country refuse to see the good they have done, are doing and intend to do. There is too little trust, particularly from the media, thus the hostility between the media, party and state and it would seem that some within government and the party have an attitude that screams: "Why won't you trust us, you idiots? We are doing this for you!" Well …
One of my favourite TV series is The West Wing. There is a man running for president and his name is Senator Arnold Vinick who is played by Alan Alda. At one point while he polishes his shoes, he is listening to a much younger man who works at the White House. The young man is irritated that the senator seems to think the White House has some secret agenda and is peeved by his apparent lack of trust. The old senator says to the young man: "The founding fathers didn't base a government on trust. They could have designed a government based on trust and our ability to govern fairly but they knew that power corrupts. So they invented checks and balances. It was genius. The founding fathers did not want me to trust you, they did not want you to trust me."
The logic of the old senator applies to us too. There is a reason the ANC itself created these checks and balances at the outset of our democracy in 1994. They knew we would be grappling with the issues we are facing today – that the powerful do not grant themselves even more power. To make it difficult for them to govern at will despite how powerful they might be. That is the reason we have the courts, which continue to frustrate the government and is also the reason we have the media, which has also been extremely unfair on the government at times.
Since the ANC has become so powerful, it is clear that the media have come to play the role of the opposition. That is not how things should be but for now, it seems like this is how it is.
But there is a looming opposition the ruling party will soon face. It is the young. They are thinking of abandoning the ANC, not because they hate it, but because they think the party needs to be saved from itself. Perhaps if they jump overboard, the ship will not sink. It is a small number. Yet as the years goes by, the numbers will compound and the ship will become lighter. Those who jump overboard will swim to the nearest ship, which could be the DA.
Not too long ago, few young black people would admit that they were thinking of voting for the DA. Now they are coming out, openly declaring their allegiance to it.
Having said that, the DA faces the problem of efficiency but no loyalty from the young crowd. The young crowd sees the opposition party as a the only viable option out of protest against the ANC. It's the "maybe if I dump him, he'll change" option. The problem is that the longer the ANC disappoints them, the longer these young ones will see the DA as their political home and the ANC's history will mean less to them as time goes on. Let us not forget that in the United States it was the Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves. Yet today 90% of black people vote for the Democrats. Before you say it's because US President Barack Obama is black, let me point out that when John Kerry ran, the Democratic party carried 88% of the black vote in 2004.
In his book, Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemmingway wrote: "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
Maybe the young ones who want to leave the ANC will do it because they want to break it, so that it can be strong again in the broken places. They do not want to kill it. The ANC needs to be strong in its weak places without having to be broken first.

There are many different types of drill bits in the market. We will describe all of them here.
Drilling tools are essential, and should be found in every modern home.
From the chairs, tables, cabinets and every other equipment's in our home, everything were all just pieces of woods and metal till we decided to pull out the tool boxes, power drills and drill bits and piece them all together.
Unfortunately, it isn't until its time to redecorate the kids room, or buy new furniture that drilling equipment become a MUST have.
After realizing we are in need of drill tools, most DIY, new tools buyers find themselves clueless as to what function each individual drill bits delegate, as well as the specific type of steel component to buy.
Different Types of Drill Bits
As an attempt to aid in a clear up all confusion, as well as provide general understanding of drill bits, heres an outline of the three common steels the drill bits are composed of.
Cobalt Steel
To truly understand the kind drill bits that are made of cobalt steel, simply examine the nickel in your pocket.
While cobalt steel can withstand high temperature while drilling through stainless steel and hard surfaces, it is actually less durable than high carbon steel.
Low Carbon Steel
Drill bits made of low carbon steel are made from as little as 0.005 – 0.3% carbon, and require constant sharpening and polishing, which is why they are inexpensive to purchase so you get what you paid for.
Low carbon steel drill bits are commonly used for drilling holes through softwood and hardwood, and rarely for hard metals.
High Carbon Steel (HSS)
Like its name implies, high carbon steel don't corrode or weaken under intense drill heat like its counterpart low carbon steel does.
High Carbon Steel drill bits serve as a better alternative for drilling through solid metals, hardwood boards, and all other seemingly impenetrable surfaces. Your money is well spent when you purchase high carbon steel drill bits, for they promise longevity and durability.
And Now To The Drill Bits
Flat Head Screwdriver Bits
It is only right that we begin with the first drill bit ever developed, the flat head screwdriver bit.
Armed with one single slot in which to drill in the usually flat head screw, flat head screwdriver bits are commonly used for the construction of the tables, chairs, cabinets, and other household furnitures that beautify your home.
Flat head screwdriver bits can be operated on a manual screwdriver, or an electric one, and can only be used to drill a flathead screw through wood and walls.
Twist Drill Bits
Twist bits, or twist drills as they are commonly called, are tools usually used by your repairmen in your home reparations. Twist bits can be operated with both a manual drill, as well as an electric drill, and are available in sizes 0.8mm to 12 mm.
Most points on a twist bits are situated at a 118 degree angle which is perfect for when working with wood, metal, and plastic.
The tricky thing about these bits is that they are layered with Titanium Nitride (TiN), a low carbon steel, which makes polishing and maintaining them a bit harder due to the easily corrosive nature of Titanium Nitride.
Spade Bit
As its name suggests, this spade shaped drill bit is equipped with a flat blade, and two cutters which helps centralize and secure its drilling position.
A fairly moderate sized instrument, the spade bit has a diameter of 1 1/2 inches, and is used mostly by woodworkers.
Powered by an electric drill, woodworkers use spade bits as a means to prevent cracking, and further defects in their woodwork.
The bit is a tool that effectively makes cleaner exit holes from the opposite side of the wood. An everyday equipment in your home that had been aided by the use of a spade bit, is your polished wooden dining table.
Spoon Bits
Although the spoon bit also comes equipped with a defined holding shaft like a table spoon does, the spoon bit is not used for eating or biting into a bowl of cereal, like its name might suggest, but rather serves a completely different purpose.
The main purpose of a spoon bit is to mark and create a holes in a piece of wood. When looking to create a perfect hole at the side of a wooden equipment, carpenters use a hand brace to twist the spoon bit into the the desired wooden frame in a clockwise motion until they get a clean and perfectly circular hole.
Forstner Bit
How do you think the legs of your favor favorite wooden chair were made to fit a perfect angle? Simple. With the aid of a forstner bit
From its shape, to its overall function, this drill bit is unlike any other drill bits we are accustomed to. At first glance the forstner drill bit is seen to have an 'S' shaped curvature, as well as its sharp teeth which helps to further enhance its effectiveness.
When looking to make clean, perfectly round flat base at the top, or by the side of any wooden platform, there is no other bit more suitable that the forstner bit.
Dowelling Bit
The dowelling bit or lip and spur drill bit, as commonly known, is suitable for creating holes in both wood and metal.
In addition to its four spurs, or sharp corner that instantly pierce through wood, the dowel bit has a small point, or lip at its center which helps to level the instrument while it is being drilled.
So next time you open or close your wooden drawer, say thank you to the dowel bit that helped create that side enclosure.
Mason Drill Bit
Mason drill bits have spirals that possess extra-hardened elements and are quite powerful, to say the least. Mason drill bits can drill into walls, concrete, and other thick surfaces without causing cracks or crumbling to the exterior of the indented object.
Since concrete is dense and bulky, and requires both drilling as well as hammered force, I would recommend using a hammer drill when looking to make a hole with a mason bit.
Further uses of a mason drill bit include fixing new wiring and plumbing into homes and office buildings.
Adjustable Wood Bits
Frequently referred to as also an expansive wood bit, the adjustable wood boring bit helps create a medium sized hole through a wooden panel.
At its center is a sharp screw for leveling the bit itself and positioning where the hole will be located, and supporting the centre screw is a rotating sharp blade that cuts from one side of the wood to the other side, effortlessly.
Countersink Drill Bits
Countersink bits are one of my favorite types of drill bits. Most of us know the frustrating feeling of having a sole screwdriver that wasn't the right fit for our screws.
Equipped with a short base, and an extended cylinder, capped by a cone shaped end, the countersink drill bit instantly solves that problem on a larger scale, for it comes in several sizes and is well equipped to accommodate various bolts, regardless of their respective size and dimensions.
There are two types of countersink bits, the first being the fluted countersink bit.
Fluted countersink creates a cone shaped opening for which to receive the head of a screw.
However, using a oversized countersink than required is actually counterproductive, for using an overly wide completely swallows the screw and proves ineffective.
The second type of countersink drill bit, is the cross-hole countersink bit. The cross-hole countersink bit is not of a fluted shape, like its counterpart, the fluted countersink.
The cross-holed countersink is equipped with an tilted hole for which to receive a drilled screw at an angled position.
Metal Drill Bit
Metal drill bits are well known for their black, or stealth like color, and are fairly more high-priced than the average drill bit.
Not only do they effortlessly drill through heavy metal like a knife through butter, metal drill bits can also be used on less dense materials such as plastic and wood.
If you are the type of person who appreciates quality rather than quantity, then you wont hesitate to invest in a set of metal drill bits, for they guarantee precision for years to come.
A Hole Saw Bit
While we use our doors to enter and leave our homes every day, we never truly pay attention to the hole in which both the doorknob and its lockset are situated in.
What tool were used in making that hole, you might ask? Simple. A hole saw. A hole saw is a cylindrical shaped steel bit with sharp saw teeth that pierces right into wood to create a clean hole within it.
In case seeking out a DIY home project that involves the use of a hole saw, there are several safety procedures to follow, one being to wear a pair of safety glasses while drilling a hole through a wooden surface.
The hole saw drills the circumference around a given material and not straight through it which in turn causes an avalanche of dust to fly through the air. Be safe and wear a pair of safety goggles at all times.
Step Bit
Step bits are types of bits used for drilling holes in hardwood, and thin sheets of metal.
The amazing thing you should know about the cone-shaped step bit , is that it can handily drill from 10-to-13 different hole sizes with one single bit. Each increase in diameter is accentuated with carvings on the bit itself, and span a width of 0.8inch to 1.5 Inches.
Cobalt Drill Bit
Extremely heat resistant and long-lasting , cobalt drill bits are made of a cobalt alloy, usually 5-to-8 percent, rather than the easily degradable cobalt coating found is the so called premium drill bits and best drill bits for stainless steel.
The cobalt bit has a slightly golden color which is a result of its factory production, an aesthetically pleasing feature that makes the cobalt bit stand out from all your other tools.

These drill bits come in infinite sized, just to list a few;
- 1/16-inch
- 5/64-inch
- 3/32-inch
- 7/64-inch
- 5/32-inch
- 1/8-inch
A Drill Bit For Glass And Tiles
Drilling through glass sounds like an impossibly difficult task doesn't it? Actually it isn't. If it were, then how were the glass doors in your shower fixed in place? Simple. With the aid of a glass drill bit.
Drill bits for glass and drill bits for tiles are spear shaped, with carbide tips which intricately and flawlessly drill through sturdy glass and porcelain tiles.
Glass and tile drill bits come in various sizes depending on the specification of the job requirement. Available in sizes 1/8 inch, 3/16 inch 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, 3/8 inch and a 1/2 inch, variety is the spice of life.
Flexible Bit: A Bit That Reaches Hidden Areas
Flexible bits cannot do cartwheels or backflips, but can certainly help create holes in places unreachable to the common drill bit.
Just as you can flex a muscle at multiple angles, so can the flexible drill bit.
How it works is that while the interior shank spins, the exterior covering serves to balance the extension as the screw is being drilled, which helps fix the bit in position at any possible angle.
With that being said, the large narrow book shelf in your library was assembles with the aid of a flexible drill bit. You're welcome!
How To Maintain Your Drill Bit
Drill bits, like all metal tend to rust overtime if not properly cared for, so it is essential to retain a proper maintenance routine. Unless you are perfectionist who polishes their instruments after every use, it is is almost impossible to keep them in pristine condition.
Through regular use, our drilling tools lose their original luster and definition, but we have the capacity to ensure that they don't completely rust and remain highly functional. Dont use your drill bits to pull damage or broken screw.
The number one tip for maintaining your drill bits is to regularly use a clean dry fabric to apply light dabs of oil unto them. Just as plants need water to grow, your drill bits require oil to flourish. You can sharp your dull bits using drill bits sharpener.
In addition to frequent oil coating, it is also essential to keep your tools in a dry, moisture-free location, most commonly, your garage.
Hope you are now more knowledgeable about different types of drill bits and their works on different surfaces While their use may remain obscure to many people, drill bits actually form some of the basic tools we need, either for home-based projects or those we do at our various work stations.
We hope you learnt a thing or two from the above comprehensive review of some of the types of drill bits in the markets today.

VIDEO: Jennifer Koh performs in the WQXR Café
Somewhere along the way in her 20-some year career, Jennifer Koh jumped off the violin soloist treadmill in favor of less familiar paths and creative channels.
She fashioned an ongoing recital series called "Bach and Beyond" that involves juxtapositions of Bach's solo sonatas and partitas with contemporary works by composers like Phil Kline, Missy Mazzoli and Kaija Saariaho.
She gives her New York Philharmonic subscription debut this week not with a beloved warhorse like the Tchaikovsky or Brahms Concerto but Lutoslawski's Chain 2, a dark, knotty work composed for Anne-Sophie Mutter in 1984.
And she has struck up a working relationship with the veteran theater and opera director Robert Wilson, which will expand this November in a staged version of Bach's solo violin music in Paris.
Koh came to know Wilson when she appeared in the title role in a new touring production of Einstein on the Beach, Philip Glass's landmark opera that came to the Brooklyn Academy of Music in October.
"I was quite scared going into the rehearsal process because I've never acted or done anything in that way," Koh, 36, told Jeff Spurgeon. "I've never played a character. In fact, for me, performing and being a musician is about being more myself there than anywhere else in a sense and being more purely human.
"I didn't even know where stage right was. They were like, 'walk on to stage right' and I was like, 'which direction is this?'"
In the five-hour opera, Koh doesn't just perform Glass's churning "Knee Plays" but dons the full Einstein costume, complete with silver wig and mustache. Wilson's acting coaching made a strong impression on Koh.
"In a way, I've been searching for a long time for this idea, [whether] doing 'Bach and Beyond,' or creating these projects," she said. "In the end it's 'how do you create an experience, and really create a journey for your audience?' What Bob does with Einstein, with time, it changes your conception of that."
Koh's career got off to a start more typical of a child prodigy: she made her debut with the Chicago Symphony at age 11, studied at Oberlin College in her teens, and took home a silver medal at the 1994 Tchaikovsky Competition, the latter while wearing a poofy green dress. But in recent years she's shown an increasingly adventurous streak, as the choice of the Lutoslawski for her Philharmonic debut suggests.
"I believe it's a great piece and it deserves to be heard more," she said. "And more than that, the reason I'm happy to do it in New York is that so many of my composer colleagues and friends are in the city and there's something about his music that is such an important voice that does need to be heard."
In the WQXR Café, Koh performs selections the final two movements of Ysaÿe's Sonata No. 2, a piece that she performed last year at an event for South Korea's First Lady Kim Yoon-ok, hosted by US First Lady Michelle Obama.
"I remembered that I was so excited when I met her at the receiving line that I almost knocked over the first lady of Korea," Koh recalled. "I just hopped towards Michelle Obama to give her a hug. Then I had to give my apologies to the first lady of Korea. She was very lovely."
