Going for Gold: Olympic-Sized Philanthropy
Some Olympians, competing on the world stage for the first time, arrive untested and find themselves suddenly propelled to fame and fortune; others arrive already acknowledged as the best of the best. And while they all share a passion for succeeding, many share an equal passion for giving back and helping others. From building schools, to advocating for positive body images for girls, to supporting organ donations, Olympians are leaving their mark on the world of philanthropy.
Michael Phelps
Swimmer Michael Phelps is the winningest Olympian of all time racking up 22 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze medals (and counting). Going into the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, Phelps is the current holder of 7 individual and team world records.
Michael Phelps
Through his foundation Phelps works with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Special Olympics International to develop youth programs focused on promoting healthy lifestyles and personal goal setting.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams has been at or near the top of the tennis world since 1999. With a combined 38 grand slam titles (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) she is unrivaled among active players. Add to that 4 Olympic gold medals and despite an early exit from the 2016 medal hunt it's easy to see why many consider Williams to be one of the greatest athletes of the 21st Century.
Serena Williams
Through her SW Fund, Serena Williams (pictured here with Jamaican musician Sean Paul) is an active philanthropist, contributing time, talent, and treasure to a range of causes from ending gun violence and creating equity in the justice system to education scholarships in the US and building schools in Kenya and Jamaica.
Muhammad Ali
Long before the Thrilla in Manilla and the Rumble in the Jungle and before Muhammad Ali's signature claim to being the Greatest an 18-year old Cassius Marcellus Clay took the gold medal for light heavyweight boxing at the 1960 Rome Olympics.
Muhammad Ali
One of the most recognized figures of modern times, Muhammad Ali (who died in 2016) was a fierce advocate for social justice at home and around the world. Even while battling Parkinson's disease, Ali oversaw the creation of the Muhammad Ali Center, a museum and learning center that uses the example of his life to encourage economic, racial, and gender equity, and to promote the ideal of global citizenship.

Usain Bolt
Bolt is deeply committed to creating opportunity for youth in his native Jamaica. His foundation partners with schools and communities to advance education and support children through sports and cultural development.
Carl Lewis
Before Usain Bolt there was Carl Lewis. From 1984 to 1996 Lewis brought home 9 gold medals (and one silver) making him one of the most decorated track and field stars of all time. His 10-year streak of 65 consecutive long jump victories including an unmatched 4 Olympic gold medals in the same event is the longest of its kind. What's more, his 1984 indoor world record for the long jump still stands.
Carl Lewis
The Carl Lewis Foundation serves as an umbrella for the many charities that Lewis supports including a range of family, youth, education, wellness and fitness programs, as well as Best Buddies International, helping children with developmental disabilities, and the Wendy Marx Foundation, advocating for organ donor awareness.

Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf
Today, Agassi and his wife, tennis great Steffi Graf, are involved in a wide range of youth and education efforts including the Agassi Foundation for Education that supports the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas, a tuition-free charter school for at-risk children.
The Dream Team
In 1992, the US fielded its first Dream Team of professional basketball players, including future Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson. Since then more than 60 NBA stars have played for the US and many more have played for their native countries.
The Dream Team
Among the 66 NBA stars who have laced up for the Dream Team, at least 35 have foundations and many more contribute time and treasure to a broad array of causes. In July of 2016, Michael Jordan donated $1 million to help train police in best practices and procedures, and another $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to support efforts at building trust and respect between communities and law enforcement.

This season I won´t do a regular season summary of Allsvenskan the way I did last year. Instead I will tell the story about GIF Sundsvall, and introduce a new area chart visualization
Giffarna started the season really well, winning lots of close games and actually also at one point, leading Allsvenskan. Their underlying numbers told another tale, something I tried to tell the ones making too much celebrations on Twitter in this blog post… When 8 rounds was played Sundsvall was still competing for medals, placed at position 3.
Sundsvall remained on the top half of the table throughout the first half of the season but when I looked at how they actually were performing, I really thought that it seemed as if they got a lot of points from close games that could have gone either way. Something that supported my story was looking at xG.
To visualize how teams perform I have started using an area chart that displays actual performance in the top two areas and underlying performance in xG – xGa terms below. The idea is to in this way easily visualize teams actual performance in regard to underlying performance. Sundsvall during this season exemplifies the idea quite well. This is how that visualization looked after 8 rounds.
(Actual goals the top two areas, expected – bottom. Green – goals for, red – goals against)
Sundsvall had over performed at both ends, scoring more goals than expected and conceding less. Now, in general that is something that tends to level out..
Almost halfway through the season Sundsvall remained in the top half of the table when I made my first projection for the season.
When the autumn came, the over-performance leveled out and Sundsvall dropped trough the table.
The following line plots shows the accumulated xG-xGA diff and G-GA diff for Sundsvall and MFF (to compare with) just to clearly visualize that Sundsvalls underlying performance regarding xG-xGA has remained to be negative more or less the whole season. The linearity is quite clear for both teams.
So, to sum up. The area plots gives an instant representation of a teams current performance. A few more examples:
Offensive under performance
Offensive over performance
Offensive and defensive under performance
And last the winners of Allsvenskan, Malmö FFs current areas
Nothing to say there more than that they are worthy, and waited winners. The image of a winning team!

Sussex Chicken
Since the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 A.D., the area around Kent, Sussex, and Surrey has been a hub of poultry production with a reputation for producing chickens of the finest flavor. There is much speculation on the origins of the poultry of this area. Phoenician traders were known to visit Britain before the Romans and exchange poultry for tin. The Romans certainly did bring poultry, including some with five-toes which would later be called Dorking chickens, but they also brought the knowledge of breeding livestock to fulfill a purpose and may have introduced the British to eating poultry.
The chickens of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey had the reputation of being the finest table-poultry, with white skin, legs, and feet and juicy, tender flesh. Many early writers made remarks regarding the superior qualities of the five-toed fowl, implying the four-toed fowl were more common, but still of high quality. Old literature seems to indicate that in the early days of this landrace of poultry the four and the five-toed fowls were produced from the same stock.
By the time of the introduction of Asiactic fowl to England in the mid 1800s, the five-toed fowl were being maintained as a breed, while the four-toed fowl were bred in flocks varying much from one to the next. With a great deal of excitement, the British crossed the Asiatics on local flocks seeking improvements, such as increased size and hardiness. To their disappointment, they discovered that size did increase, but bones became larger and flesh coarser and less tender. By 1900 there were precious few flocks of the old Kentish, Sussex, and Surrey chickens that had not been contaminated by crossbreeding.
Speaking to a group of Sussex farmers in 1903, Edward Brown, a noted writer on the rural poultry industry, reminded them of their history and reputation for producing the finest poultry and berated them for being on the point of letting this breed die out. His speech moved many and in July of that same year E.J. Wadman took up the mantle and formed a club for Sussex chickens. Soon farmers networked to find relatively pure pockets of the breed and began its promotion. So it is that an ancient breed was brought back from the brink of extinction and became a "new' player in the emerging poultry industry of the early 1900s.
Sussex chickens are a dual-purpose breed with a deep broad body, close fitting feathers, and white skin, shanks and feet. The breed will put on fat very easily, making it well suited for market poultry. The hens are fair to good layers of brown eggs, though they lay best if not allowed to get overly fat. This could be a wonderful breed for a small farm or homestead, being active and all-around an excellent breed for meat and eggs. Sussex chickens have a reputation, in some circles, of having flesh superior even to that of the Dorking and Old English Game chickens.
Sussex chickens reached America about 1912 and was recognized by the American Poultry Association in three varieties: Speckled (1914), Red (1914), and Light (1929). In England another variety is recognized, the Brown (a very dark red color). Some breeders have created additional colors, such as Coronation, Buff, White, and Silver. Males weigh 9 lbs, females weigh 7 lbs.

The Top Factors of Online Reputation Management
Your brand's reputation is made up of what people believe about your business. By employing third-party endorsements you increase the authenticity of your online reputation. Below are the top factors that affect your reputation, and how you can leverage them for your company.
Online Presence
Fact: Your reputation is comprised of what people find through search. Fairly or unfairly, search engines, like Google, decide what is shown about a businesses. It might be reviews, business directories, social media, or other, but all of these sources need to share the same positive story.
Claiming and Optimize – Claim your web properties immediately. This can include social sites, review pages, or business directories like the yellow pages. Make sure to check each site that it has accurate contact information.
Connect Your Properties – By linking between sites, you begin to establish brand authority.
Uniformity – Having your business contact information and address correct throughout the internet will help increase the rankings of positive content.
Reviews are being accessed by more customers everyday. So having a strong reputation for online review sites is one of the most important steps you can take. But you can't stuff the ballot box for yourself, because users are looking for authenticity.
Monitoring & Prioritizing – We determine which sites are most influential for reviews. This depends upon your industry and prospect base. We make sure those positive reviews are front and center.
Boost the number and breadth of existing reviews – We help you increase the number of reviews you are getting and help proliferate those reviews to other sites.
Social Media
Social media has given power to the customer. It also can be a great source for referrals. By engaging with social media, you put a human face on your business and demonstrate your customer care. It is a great platform for solidifying your reputation.
Claim your turf – Create a beautiful listing on each social channel. Be an active participant, but don't always dominate the conversation. By spotlighting your customer comments, and helpful information, you become part of the larger community.
Respond quickly – Setup processes that allow you to quickly reply back to customer inquiries, but don't use canned answers as that corrodes social authenticity.
Surveys give you direct access to customer opinions. By providing a channel for customers to express their opinions, reduces the odds that they will complain or post online. It also increases customer sentiment as they feel like they are being heard.
Provide multiple channels of communication – By providing several feedback avenues, you decrease the likelihood that a customer will seek out his own channel.
Follow up with negative feedback – By controlling the feedback channel, you avoid the negative comments from showing up online. By following up directly and in a timely fashion will also minimize the chances that a customer will seek out a public platform to complain.
Take action – Look for trends and patterns in the reviews. By gathering so many comments, it can help you improve your business processes.
Your online reputation is constantly changing and evolving. You need to diligently watch and measure what is being said about you online. You don't want your efforts to slowly deteriorate.
Tracking – What are the top results when someone searches your brand? Is their any negative piece of content that has risen to prominence? How many reviews are you getting? What is their star rating?
Setting alerts – Setup alerts for when people post new information about you online. This is an easy way to monitor your online reputation.
Regular reporting – In-depth information about your exact brand position and the effectiveness of our management, delivered monthly.
Reputation is relative: a four-star rating only looks good if everyone else has three stars. To stay ahead of the competition, you need to know where you excel and where you lag behind. If you have multiple business locations, you also need to see which are performing best and which need improvement.
Monitor local competition – How are your competitors managing their reputation online? Is there any areas you can exploit? What areas are they being successful in that you could mimick?
Setting the right benchmarks – Understand where your competition and industry are standing and then set goals to exceed their performance. 100 4 star reviews is less impressive if your major competitor has thousands of 4.5 star reviews. Setting the right benchmark helps you realize meaningful success.
If you have multiple locations, the need for a positive online reputation is multiplied. When working with our team, we help synchronize and focus your marketing efforts. Instead of both locations suffering independently, we clear the table for your marketing teams to be successful.
Scaling – There is the overall brand reputation, but also the micro-brand reputation. Is there a particular branch or location that is suffering? Maybe it is an entire region or coast to coast image problem? We can effectively handle and improve all areas of your reputation.

The Executor's Checklist
Here is a checklist of the first tasks you will need to undertake as an Executor of a Will. You can tick each task off as you complete it:
Arrange the Funeral
□ Does the Will provide for the funeral arrangements? If not, the Executor has the final say if there is any dispute within the family.
□ Did you pay for the funeral? Whoever pays for the funeral will need to provide you with the tax invoice/receipt so they can be reimbursed from the Estate.
Locate the Will
□ Check at the Deceased's Solicitors' offices. Is there a safety deposit box at the bank or at the Deceased's home?
□ Once the Will is located, instruct a Solicitor to assist in the administration of the Estate.
Collect the Deceased's Financial Documents
You will need to provide the following documents to the Solicitor administering the Estate:
□ The Will of the Deceased;
□ The original Death Certificate. You can arrange for the Funeral Director to obtain this;
□ Recent bank statements/pass books and current cheque books;
□ Recent credit card statements;
□ Recent utilities invoices such as electricity/telephone/rates;
□ Recent Income Tax Returns and Financial Statements of the Deceased, of any private Company in which they were involved, Trust or Partnership;
□ Insurance policies including life insurance;
□ Share Certificates;
□ Centrelink documents;
□ Partnership Agreements;
□ Trust Deeds of any Trusts, including Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF), of which the Deceased was a Trustee and/or Beneficiary – the Deceased's accountant may be able to assist;
□ Original Title Deeds, contracts of purchase and settlement letters for real estate owned by the Deceased, if they exist;
□ The most recent Annual Superannuation Membership Statement and any Nominations re superannuation death benefit payouts; and
□ Contents of any safety deposit facilities which may be located at the Deceased's usual Solicitors, accountants, financial advisers or bank.
Identify the Assets
□ Prepare an inventory of what you understand are the assets and liabilities of the Estate and provide it to the Solicitor. You may need the assistance of close family and friends to finalise the inventory.
Have you considered the following assets:
□ Household contents, artwork, motor vehicles, boats, caravans, real estate, cash retained in safety deposit boxes/at the Deceased's home;
□ Time shares, shares, bank accounts, superannuation, life insurance;
□ Loyalty programs;
□ Loan accounts in any Company, Trust or Partnership in which the Deceased was involved;
□ Interest in any other Deceased Estate;
□ Outstanding employee entitlements or lost superannuation; and
□ Unpresented scratchies and lotto tickets or TAB accounts.
Notify the Relevant Authorities
You will need to notify the following Authorities of the Death:
□ The Australian Electoral Commission;
□ Private health insurers, Centrelink and Medicare;
□ Lodge a Change of Address at the local Post Office;
□ Clubs and Associations of which the Deceased was a member; and
□ Cancel Driver Licence.
You will also need to notify the following utilities/parties so that services can be disconnected and final accounts delivered:
□ Electricity and gas;
□ Mobile telephone, landline telephone and internet;
□ Any subscriptions; and
□ Consider cancelling any automatic deductions from the Deceased's bank account.
Other Matters
□ Contact employer and other professional advisers and advise of the Deceased's death. They may have information, documents or entitlements to provide to you.
□ Provide the Beneficiaries of the Estate with a copy of the Will.
□ Contact the Deceased's accountant or employ another accountant to prepare an Income Tax Return to the date of death.
□ Make enquiries as to ongoing management arrangements for the Deceased's business and SMSF and take appropriate steps where required.
□ Ask the Beneficiaries to keep a record of any expenses they pay on behalf of the Estate and provide you with receipts/tax invoices for reimbursement from the Estate.
□ Contact the house and contents insurers and find out what arrangements need to be made in regards to insurance cover.
□ Negotiate resolution of litigation.
□ Act as director of the family company which may be the trustee of the family trust or self-managed superannuation fund.
□ Fill the shoes of the appointor of the family trust.
Once an Estate of a Deceased has been properly identified and calculated, the Executor or the Solicitors acting in the administration of the Estate may need to take a number of formal steps before they are in a position to distribute the Estate to the Beneficiaries. Here is a checklist of the tasks which may need to be undertaken in the administration of the Estate.
Payment of Debts
All of the debts of the Deceased must be paid before the Estate is finally distributed.
Such liabilities may include expenses such as the following:
□ The funeral expenses;
□ The mortgage or mortgages;
□ Credit cards;
□ Utility accounts e.g. electricity, telephone and gas;
□ Income Tax Liabilities including GST and CGT;
□ Reimbursement of employment or Centrelink payments;
□ Executor's Commission;
□ Legal fees and outlays re administration of the Estate;
□ Interest on pecuniary gifts to Beneficiaries (i.e. money not distributed to the Beneficiary within 12 months of the Deceased's date of death, attracts interest payable by the Estate).
Obtaining Probate or Letters of Administration
Sometimes it is necessary to request the Court to make an Order that the Will is the last Will of the Deceased. This is called a Grant of Probate. Where a person has died without leaving a Will or if there is a Will but no Executor is nominated or able or willing to take up the appointment, an Application can be made to the Supreme Court. This application is called "Letters of Administration".
□ Have you discussed the need to apply for Probate/Letters of Administration with a Solicitor?
There are strict timelines and procedures which apply when seeking Probate/Letters of Administration as follows:
□ Has notice of the intended application been advertised in the Queensland Law Reporter and in a newspaper local to the Deceased's last address at least 14 days before the application is filed?
□ Has a copy of the notice been given to the Public Trustee of Queensland at least 7 days before filing the Application in the Supreme Court?
□ Have you prepared an Affidavit of the Executor attaching the original Will, if applicable, and the Death Certificate?
□ Have you prepared an Affidavit of Publication which attaches a copy of the advertised notice?
□ Has the Supreme Court issued a Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration?
□ Have you provided certified copies of the Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration to the organisations which required such a Grant before releasing the assets of the Deceased?
Family Provision Applications
Sometimes a Deceased's spouse, child or dependant may make an Application to the Supreme Court for further provision to be made from the Deceased's Estate. This usually happens where that person is of the view that the Deceased has not made sufficient provision for them in their Will. Factors which must be considered are as follows:
□ Is the person making the claim a "spouse" of the Deceased? Spouse includes a husband, wife, de facto partner or a former spouse or partner.
□ Is the person making the claim a "child" of the Deceased? This will include any biological child, step-child or adopted child of that person. A step-child ceases being a 'child' upon the divorce of the Deceased and the child's parent.
□ Is the person making the claim a "dependant" of the Deceased? This means any person who was being wholly or substantially maintained or supported by the Deceased at the time of their death. This can include a parent of the Deceased, the parent of a surviving child under the age of 18 years of the Deceased, or a person under the age of 18.
There are also quite strict time limits which must be followed when making a Family Provision Application, as follows:
□ Has the Executor been notified within 6 months of the date of the death of a person's intention to make a claim for Family Provision?
□ Has an Application for Family Provision been filed in the Supreme Court within 9 months of the date of death?
□ If you as the Executor are served with either a Notice or an Application, you should seek legal advice immediately. Such an Application could mean a need to delay distribution of the Estate pending a Court decision.
Transmission Applications
Real Estate which is held by the Deceased as at the date of death can be transferred by lodging a Transmission Application in the Titles Office.
□ Does the property need to be transferred to the Executor? This is usually done where it is intended that the property be sold as part of the Estate Administration to meet debts and to pay out the entitlements of multiple Beneficiaries. If yes, complete the Transmission Application by Personal Representative.
□ Can the property be transferred to the Beneficiary who has been named in the Will to receive that property? If yes, complete the Transmission Application for Registration as Devisee/Legatee.
Requests to Record Death
Real Estate which is held by the Deceased as joint tenant with another person will need to be transferred to the surviving joint tenant by lodging a Request to Record Death in the Titles Office.
Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF)
If the Deceased has an SMSF, the Executor will need to ascertain whether a Death Benefit is payable to the Estate. If the Deceased is the only member or the last surviving member of the Fund, the Executor may need to wind up the SMSF as part of the Estate administration.
Estate administration can be involved, time consuming, technical and have significant tax consequences. The above action plan is intended to be indicative of the types of tasks that normally need to be undertaken. It is not exhaustive as each Estate will have its own particular requirements. Before attempting to undertake any of these steps, and if you have any questions or concerns about the role of the Executor, you should seek specialist advice from a Solicitor acting in the area of Estate Administration. We can assist you in this regard.

This page is directed at parents who have started at the Co-op and have been through orientation. There is also an FAQ for prospective parents that covers the time leading up to orientation. Still need help? Contact us!
Where should I park?
Great question! We share space with Magnolia United Church of Christ. The small parking lot behind the church is not to be used for preschool or MAC pickup or drop-off or for parking while you are working in class. It is only available to those parents on snack duty for that day, laundry duty, or for families with a special parking pass. Please park on the street near the school. Please do not park in the church's loading zone on McGraw Street. With several dozen small children coming and going at any given time, having multiple cars crowding the small parking lot creates a safety issue for our school. Please respect this guideline and park on a nearby street.
What is the best way to stay up to date with current events at the Co-op?
Your Class Chair's weekly emails should be your go-to source of information. Please be sure to read it in its entirety each week, as Class Chairs pass along important all-school and class-specific updates and announcements each week.
Our online calendar is also an excellent source of information about meetings, special events, school closures, and due dates. You can add our calendar events to your personal calendar or surface our calendar within your online calendar. We use a public Google Calendar owned by the profile, firstname.lastname@example.com.
For day to day updates, follow us on Facebook. We update our feed at least a few times per week with pictures of what's happening in class, field trips, and other information.
What if I can't make my scheduled work day one week? What if my child or I become ill?
If you know in advance that you will be unable to make your scheduled work day, contact your class's parents to swap work days with another parent. It is your responsibility to try to find a substitute to cover your absence.
Can I bring my child's sibling to class when I work?
Infants up to three months old may occasionally accompany a parent in the classroom with prior permission of the teacher and the other parents in the class. Infants must be kept in a pack on the parent's body to insure his/her ability to fully function as a teacher's assistant. Our preschool operates a fantastic Multi-Age Classroom for this purpose where a sibling of the child of the parent working in class gets first priority.
How should we dress for class?
Our classes are very hands-on, so be prepared to get a little dirty. Comfortable, casual clothes are best. The 2's classes and above spend time outside on the playground, so dress children appropriately for playing outside.
What should I bring for snack?
It is not necessary to bring drinks. Recommended snacks include:
- Sliced fruit
- Diced cheese
- Crackers
- Pretzels
- Muffins
- Raisins
Please be aware that some children have serious food allergies, which will be posted in the classroom. No nuts of any kind are allowed in the preschool or Multi-Age Classroom.
In case of snow, how can I find out whether class is canceled?
The preschool and Multi-Age Classroom follow the same snow closure schedule as the Seattle Public Schools. If Seattle Public Schools are starting late, the Co-op's morning classes are canceled and the afternoon classes will proceed as scheduled. If Seattle Public Schools are canceled altogether then both morning and afternoon classes at the Co-op are canceled. You can also visit our school blog or Facebook for updates.
For the latest updates, please check the School Report web site or the Seattle Public Schools web site.
What role do the Class Chair and Class Parent Coordinator (PC) play in each class?
Each class has a volunteer Class Chair and a volunteer Parent Coordinator.
The Class Chair acts as a communication liaison between their class and the Board and teachers. Class Chairs attend monthly Board Meetings and report news back to their class members. Parents can contact either their Class Chair or their teacher with any school-wide or class questions. All Class Chairs report to a Chair of Chairs.
The Parent Coordinator, or PC, is in charge of distributing, collecting, and maintaining their class's membership forms, such as Field Trip forms and Membership Agreements. PC's are also responsible for creating and posting the snack and maintenance schedule for their class.
Members have an opportunity to volunteer for either of these positions during class registration in the spring. Class Chairs and PCs do not take on another class job.
What is the role of the Parent Educator in the class?
Our preschool is affiliated with the Seattle Central Community College's Co-op program. One benefit of this partnership is the professional Parent Educators that assist in the classrooms. One Parent Educator is assigned to each class and attends some of the time to assist the teacher and parents, observe the children, and support parents' questions and concerns about early childhood development. Parent Educators also present discussion topics at the monthly class meetings.

Tensions between the US and Turkey are rising. Taken together with poor economic fundamentals, we believe Turkish assets are likely to continue underperforming.
The US suspended visa services for tourists from Turkey. This came after an employee at the US Consulate in Istanbul was arrested. Turkey responded with a similar move on visas for US travelers. Frankly, this sort of spat between NATO allies is highly unusual but caps off months of escalating tensions. The visa ban puts Turkey in the same group as Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, which have all had travel restrictions imposed this year by the US.
This is just the latest chapter, as relations between the two nations have worsened since the July 2016 coup attempt. President Erdogan blames exiled cleric Gulen for the coup attempt, and has asked him to be extradited by the US. For lack of evidence, the US has refused. Some Turkish officials have even accused the US of direct involvement in the coup attempt.
Poor relations with the US and the EU have pushed Turkey closer to Russia. This is remarkable coming after years of tensions stemming from Turkey shooting down a Russian plane in its airspace. Turkish troops are preparing to deepen their involvement in Syria, where Turkey is planning a joint mission with Russia and Iran to create a combat-free zone in the province of Idlib.
Iraqi Kurds voted overwhelmingly for independence last month. This is also keeping regional tensions high, with President Erdogan concerned that Turkish Kurds may take similar actions. US support for Syrian Kurds has been a sore point for Erdogan.
According to Turkey's tourist authorities, around 37,000 from the US traveled to Turkey in 2016. This is less than 2% of the total but still down sharply from 88,301 US visitors in 2015. Overall foreign arrivals contracted sharply y/y in 2015 and 2016 due to ongoing security concerns, but have risen y/y over the past five months.
With regards to the potential trade impact, the US is Turkey's fifth biggest export market. For the US, Turkey is not even in the top 15 export destinations. Bottom line: Turkey stands to lose more than the US does if the tensions spill over into the economic arena. More importantly, we think that the post-coup crackdown measures taken by Turkey have basically killed its chances to enter the EU. The impact of the tourism spat will most likely pale in comparison to the lost potential benefits of EU integration.
The lira continues to underperform, as it did in 2016. In 2016, TRY fell -17% vs. USD and was ahead of only the worst performer ARS (-18%). So far in 2017, TRY is -5.3% YTD and is ahead of only the worst EM performer ARS (-9.0%). Our EM FX model shows the lira to have VERY WEAK fundamentals, so this year's underperformance is likely to continue.
Foreign reserves have steadied after falling over the course of 2015 and 2016. At $91.5 bln in September, they cover nearly 4 ½ months of import but account for only half of the stock of short-term external debt. This is the amongst the worst in EM. Indeed, there are only a handful in EM whose reserves are smaller than short-term external debt. Besides Turkey, these include Malaysia, Ukraine, and South Africa. Furthermore, so-called usable reserves (which net out commercial bank FX deposits at the central bank) stand at only $28.8 bln currently.
USD/TRY couldn't sustain a break below 3.40 last month and turned higher. The low for this move was recorded on September 11. Break of the 3.73 area sets up a test of the all-time high from January near 3.94. In between is the April 7 high near 3.75. We think the high carry currencies that were so popular earlier this year will continue to fall out of favor now that the Fed will start shrinking its balance sheet and continue hiking rates.
Turkish equities are outperforming EM after underperforming in 2016. In 2016, MSCI Turkey rose 4% vs. 7% for MSCI EM. So far this year, MSCI Turkey is up 29% YTD and compares to 28% YTD for MSCI EM. This outperformance should continue, as our EM Equity model has Turkey at an OVERWEIGHT position.
Turkish bonds have performed poorly this year. The yield on 10-year local currency government bonds is +2 bp YTD. This is amongst the worst in EM, behind only the worst performers Czech Republic (+95 bp), China (+63 bp), Korea (+31 bp), India (+26 bp), and Chile (+8 bp). With inflation likely to continue rising and the central bank likely to fall further behind the curve, we think Turkish bonds will start underperforming even more.
Our own sovereign ratings model showed Turkey's implied rating worsening a notch for the second straight quarter to B+/B1/B+. We think Turkey continues to face strong downgrade risks to its BB/Ba1/BB+ ratings.

Individual plants interact through a variety of mechanisms creating plant-soil feedbacks, in which a plant affects the environment, and this change feeds back to influence the performance of that plant and other members of the community. Feedbacks can have consequences at the community and ecosystem levels; however, despite the large body of work on component processes, how measured interactions among individuals actually affect large-scale patterns of species composition, diversity, and invasion remains largely untested. In this dissertation, I use a combination of 1) spatiotemporal surveys and modeling and 2) measurements of interactions in field experiments, to test the mechanisms through which plants interact and the importance of these interactions in driving community structure and dynamics in two systems, temperate wetlands invaded by hybrid cattail and native dry grasslands. Positive feedbacks are predicted to be important for explaining dominance of invasive species, because modification of the environment to their own benefit would further their invasion. Negative feedbacks are predicted to dominate in native systems where they lead to limitation of conspecific growth, promoting coexistence. In the invaded system, experiments suggest that hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca) produces positive feedbacks: it increases nitrogen cycling twofold and decreases light through high litter production, an environment in which cattail performs well but native species decline. These positive feedbacks could contribute to the pattern found in field surveys that T. x glauca was associated with locally high soil nutrients, low light, and large amounts of litter, and that native diversity was highest in areas of shallow litter depth. In the native grassland system, both transplant experiments and fitting models to survey data suggest that negative feedbacks are common: conspecifics inhibit the individual and population growth of each of the dominant species more than heterospecifics. The intermediaries in these negative feedbacks include soil nitrate and light reduction, however other unmeasured soil properties, such as pathogens or mycorrhizae, also likely play a role. Overall, this suggests that the balance of interactions may shift from negative feedbacks in native systems to positive in invasive systems, which contributes to the coexistence among natives and dominance of invasives.

Tornado Index # 20040527.21.3
Custom Controls
Note: This approximate tornado path has been generated from data provided by the SPC.
The Tornado History Project generates approximate paths through separate historical archives provided by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Paths generated from the NCDC data are typically more detailed, but neither archive gives exact path information. There are several reasons that paths may be inaccurate:
- Tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates were recorded with only 2 digits of decimal precision (i.e. [33.72, -86.15] vs [33.71689, -86.15463]). As a consequence, the observed points on the map may be slightly off from actual. Note that beginning in 2009, up to 4 digits of decimal precision are given.
- Coordinates have not historically been calculated via GPS (Global Positioning System). Thus, tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates should be considered as estimates only.
- Tornadoes may not have been in contact with the ground for the entire path as depicted on the map. Storm damage in any location depicted under the "path" should not be inferred.
- Although paths are drawn as straight lines between any two sets of coordinates, the tornado may have "zigzagged" in some way.
- Although paths are drawn as uniform thin lines on the map, it is likely that the tornado changed size over its lifetime. Damage in any location depicted under (or not under) the "path" should not be inferred.
Even with the above in mind, the data is the best available. If you see a path that is depicted incorrectly, please post a comment in the tornado forum indicating why you belive the path to be incorrect.
Paths generated from NCDC data are typically more detailed due to the way coordinates are listed in each archive:
- SPC database - A maximum of 2 coordinates (touchdown and liftoff) is given for each tornado, or each state segment of a tornado if it is a multi-state tornado. Thus the vast majority of paths are depicted as simple straight lines.
- NCDC database - Some tornadoes have mutliple sets of coordinates within any state, generally corresponding to entry and exit points by county. Thus, since more coordinates have been used to draw the path, the depicted path should be more accurate. Having said that, most tornadoes do not have additional path data in the NCDC archive. When they do, paths are drawn from the NCDC data.

The following statistics and definitions are derived from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) historical tornado archive. The Tornado History Project can
not guarantee the accuracy of the underlying data within the SPC historical tornado archive. However, the data as presented here is guaranteed to
match the SPC data, except where noted.
Some definitions will not be given since they are obvious (i.e. "Date", "Time", etc...)
Special Note: This site uses a unique index number to identify each tornado. This index number is not a part of the official historical tornado archive.

State - The state or states affected by a tornado.
Fujita - The Fujita scale is an attempt to classify damage from a tornado. F0 being the least damaging, F5 the most. For 2007 and beyond, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) is given.
Fat. - The number of fatalities attributed to the tornado.
Inj. - The number of injuries attributed to the tornado.
Width - Width in yards. It is unclear if this indicates a maximum width or mean width.
Length - Length of tornado path in miles. Note the entire track length is not necessarily all on the ground (some tornadoes "hop and skip".)
Damage - Prior to 1996, this is a range by dollar amount. For 1996 and later, actual damage estimates are in millions.
Crop Loss - Added in 2007. Given in millions of dollars.
Lat/Lon - Contains two sets of coordinates:
- Touchdown Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate touchdown location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, entry point into the state in decimal degrees.
- Liftoff Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate liftoff location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, the exit or lift-off point from the state in decimal degrees.
St. #. - The state tornado number assigned to the tornado for that specific state for that specific year. Generally, state tornado
numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.
SPC # - The tornado number as assigned by the SPC. Tornado numbers are not unique and reset each year. Generally, tornado numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.

The path of this tornado is incorrect. It is too far south and east-west when it was really more southwest to northeast.
Touchdown was around Trailwood Lane (across from Masterson Station Park), across Briggs Place, crossing Leestown Road then across Buck Lane at Ferndale Pass, Michelle Park, the end of Mable Lane, crossing Greendale Road north of Sandersville Road, causing damage at an Averitt Express and Con-Way Central Express on Jaggie Fox Way just south of Citation Blvd, crossing Georgetown Road and causing damage on Remington Way and Sonoma Place.

There are people that would like to write, they are called passionate writers. There are people whose profession are writing, they are called content developers. The passionate writers and content developers could write their assignments on their own. You can find people that do not know how to make an assignment and have no passion for writing and they will feel really difficult to make an assignment. The point is that, you really cannot ignore writing your university assignment for the sake of you does not know how to write or you do not have an interest in writing.
No matter, either writing is boring or interesting to you, but contributing to the university assignment is mandatory. The students that do not have a passion for writing or not that knowledge in writing will definitely seek for someone's assistance to finish up their assignments. It is something common among the students. Rather relying onto someone, you can hire the writing assistance company to complete your assignment. The assignment help service is solely designed to provide their fullest assistance to the students that suffer from assignment writing or want writing help. You can find many writing help services in and around your city. Explore many different companies and hire the writing help company that is experienced and professional.
What kind of a writing support service should be chosen?
- As I said that, there are limitless assignment help services to choose from. Among that, choosing the one service is really daunting. In order to make the process of choosing the assignment services simple, I have explained some factors to reckon.

Slowdown Mantras
- 10 Months ago
- 5.0
Okay, so it's that time in life when, if you've worked for about seven to nine years, you're depressed. And if you've been around for 18-20 years, you know things will look up. A slowdown can look extremely grim. If you haven't seen the slow growth rates of the early-1990s, and thought that the seven-year good run was going to continue forever, just sit down and breathe deeply.
You will get a lot of time to do that anyway. Most offices have professionals hanging around, taking cigarette breaks or fatty coffee ones. So, instead of twiddling your thumbs, here's what can keep you constructively occupied
1. Build Stronger Customer Relationships
Invest this spare time in your clients. This is a good way to be top-of-the-mind for the future. You could send them reports on their industries published by consulting firms, refer them via email to articles that may have carried data on their industry. You could also win goodwill by sending them links for training that could increase their business. To get this data, you can:
Research online on your clients and their competitors-there is a wealth of data out there.
Go to consulting firm websites to gather information on your clients' industry segments, and more.
Read online versions of business magazines and cull articles you can send
to them.
If your clients are in varied industry segments, you could spend a few days on each industry, make folders specific to that industry, and then edit and organise the data to send to them.
2. Take An Online Course
It's easy to be in office and on your laptop the whole day. Which is what may be expected of you. So, why not hone your skills and take an online course? It will save you from getting bored and add to your resume.
List the topics you'd like to study, the classes to take, to keep you up-to-date with your industry and business skills. Use this time to add to your intelligence pool.
3. Spend Time With Colleagues
This is the best time to get to know your colleagues, bosses and team members. What are their aspirations? What do they expect from you? What are the triggers you can press later to motivate your team. How can you improve your performance? All these questions will be answered once you take time out for people who work with you but who you may not know at all. Make the effort to know them. It will pay. One day.
4. Organise Your Paperwork
There is no time like the present to get your paperwork in order. Use this free time to download your salary slips, bank statements and other receipts. Some things that you can do are:
Go through your expense receipts, credit card and mobile bills, and categorise them.
Get your Form 16, insurance receipts, salary slips and bank statements in
one file.
Scan all your documents for an electronic record.
Estimate your last tax payment for the current year.
5. Keep Fit With An Exercise Regime
Okay, so you cannot step out of the office for too long. And you have been putting off losing weight because you never had the time. Start by researching if there is a gym in your office area that you can join. You can always step out at lunch for an hour. Most gyms have a shower facility and, hence, you can be fresh. For those who cannot get away at lunch or are conserving cash, you still don't have any excuse. Most offices are in multi-storied buildings, and getting away at lunch or noon or 4 pm to go down and climb up 10 flights of stairs is doable. It takes only 15 minutes each. So, start it today, and see your youthful statistics re-emerge.
6. Take A Long Weekend Off
It's easy to get leave at this time since work pressure is not high. Hence, taking a day off and combining it with a weekend is the best way to take a mini-break. You could use this break to be with the family or just rejuvenate yourself by checking into a spa. There are many weekend getaways within a few hours of the city. It will be a happy, cost-effective holiday with no airfare outflows.
7. Discover A Value-For-Money Lifestyle
In busy times, you might end up trading time for money since you don't have the time to negotiate or bargain hard. But slow times mean you can haggle with your travel agent, electronics or mobile services or instruments provider. This is the best time to research and get cheap bargains for holidays, phones, iPods, furnishings and even houses. Re-organise your life in a value-for-money (VFM) way. You could even search for cheaper restaurants to eat in, stores to get deals for clothes and grocery items...This information is available right there on your laptop, with the Internet connection provided by your office.
8. Get Creative With Pictures
You've taken a million pictures on your digicam and they're all lying on a drive in your laptop. Go to Snapfish or Kodak, and get the really nice ones printed. Get them framed. These are memories not meant to be locked inside a laptop.
Get T-shirts or mugs printed with you or your family's pictures on them. If one of your kids has a birthday coming up, get his or her picture printed on mugs as a return present to all the friends, instead of the regular boring ones. This way, your child's birthday will always be remembered. Online orders can also be delivered to someone else's address.
9. Spend Time With Family And Friends
When you're busy, you're pretty much invisible to all those who truly love and care about you. Now that work is slow, surprise your family by dropping in early in the evenings. They've been wondering where you've disappeared to. On most days, leave office on time. Delight your kids with an outing. Bowl over your spouse with a mid-week drink. Bring happiness to your parents by visiting them.
10. Rediscover Your Hobbies
You're able to get away early from work. Three days a week, the family loves to have you home early. One day, meet friends. One day, you can spare for yourself.
Time travel back to college and you will remember many of your passions. Re-ignite them. If you played a musical instrument, re-hone your skills. Join an evening class to learn music. If you were great at dramatics, form an after-office team to put up plays. Soon, you'll be glowing with your after-work achievements too.
'Slow' is a four-letter word, but used well, it can add meaning to your office hours. Now, get on with it.

Irish Hockey Opens With Comeback Victory Over Western Ontario
Notre Dame, Ind. — The University of Notre Dame hockey team used third period goals from freshman Joe Dusbabek and senior Ben Nelsen to open its season with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over the University of Western Ontario in non-conference exhibition action Friday night at the Joyce Center Fieldhouse.
The Mustangs opened the scoring at the 14:14 mark of the first period when Brian Grieve tallied his first goal of the year on the power play. Grieve took a pass from teammate Mike Flammia at the right point and put the puck past a sliding Matt Eisler to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead.
Western Ontario (1-2) had another excellent scoring chance when on a 2-on-1 break at the Irish blueline late in the opening period but Jason Heywood's shot clanged off the post. The game then became a defensive struggle with neither team scoring in the second period.
The visitors maintained their 1-0 lead heading into the third period and the Irish responded to their first challenge of the young season. Dusbabek scored his first collegiate goal to tie the game with just over 15 minutes remaining. Dusbabek received the puck just inside the blueline from sophomore Aniket Dhadphale and proceeded to weave his way into the high slot before wristing the game-tying shot past Mustang goalie C.J. Denomme, high to the blocker side.
The Irish didn't waste anytime before adding what proved to the decisive goal, as Nelsen picked up a bouncing puck inside the Mustang zone and slid it underneath a sprawling Denomme at the 5:29 mark.
After taking the lead the Irish clamped down on defense and shut out the Mustangs the rest of the way. Junior goaltender Eisler made nine of his 22 saves in the final period, including stopping Matt Munro on consecutive point blank shots and a save that thwarted a Rob Schweyer breakaway.
The win avenged last year's 2-1 overtime loss to the Guelph Gryphons,another Canadian universiy team.

Listen to in-depth interviews twice per week from adventure sports enthusiasts around the globe. As opposed to respectable information organizations the place names of homeowners, members of the editorial group, and writers are publicly disclosed, folks behind the websites shared by Uson are principally unknown. They also have vague, if not zero, descriptions of their group and what they do. Watching Baker Mayfield is enjoyable. He will be an excellent pro QB, but he is also going to get his bell rung quite a bit. He's a talker, which is okay when you are winning. I know you probably noticed or read about Bellamy's advice to him. Do not take that out of context. If you happen to run your mouth for 75+ performs and lose, you'll get that sort of recommendation from the players you have got been jawboning with.
These are simply two examples of the complete, balanced and effectively-researched writing Eig shows all through the e book. There are also sections on different related subjects, such because the opponents for the Dodgers in the 1947 World Series, the New York Yankees. Even their celebrity, Joe DiMaggio, is roofed within the guide. There may be even a humorous line about DiMaggio's health issues that season, stating that DiMaggio was rather a lot like many European nations at the moment – frail and susceptible." Lines like this are sometimes positioned within the e-book and maintain it as a fun learn as properly.
To be clear, my body of reference on this particular subject is from about 2004 forward, so I can not say how the national MLB package was promoted earlier than that time, but when it came to nationwide programming investments for FSN, I personally never felt it received the correct, or any promotion from the massive brothers. From my own recollections, which get worse every day, the one time I can recall ever seeing any sort of FSN promotion on "Large FOX" was a men's basketball tripleheader they carried the place three of the highest 5 ranked teams within the nation (#5 Duke, #2 North Carolina & #1 UCLA) can be playing on Sunday, New 12 months's Eve in 2006 on FSN.
I created the next graphic to take game context into consideration. Using a puck picture for every sport in the course of the Columbus winning streak, I plotted the Blue Jackets' deficit or lead on the scoreboard on the x-axis (from dropping by 2 to profitable by 4). On the y-axis, we see variations between the Blue Jackets' and opponents' actual numbers of third-period shots (which may be extra intuitive to know than the percentage of whole pictures attributable to every crew). The puck within the higher-left nook of the graph, for instance, represents the Blue Jackets' December three recreation at Arizona , the third sport in Columbus's streak. The Jackets trailed 2-1 after two durations (the only sport during the streak wherein they entered the third interval trailing), however in a feverish attempt to tie the game (which Columbus did with 2:16 remaining), outshot the Coyotes 23-four in the third (+19). Columbus eventually received three-2 via shootout.
Just a few days in the past, I ran into an English couple who're honeymooning in America for the subsequent 3 months. They stated that they are fascinated by sport, so I told them about some options in NYC over the next few days. There does occur to be a variety of school basketball on the ultimate weekend of the year, and I prompt a Columbia Lions sport as probably the most convenient. With the 1 train skipping all stops between 96th and 157th, we took the M5 bus up Riverside Drive, a much quieter and extra scenic option. Upon arriving, we picked up our tickets and entered Levien Gymnasium, on the corner of a hundred and twentieth and Broadway.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Thanks for putting this out here, Paul! I created The Night Owl Action Plan as a way for night owls – a often misunderstood chronotype in terms of productivity – to build a framework to achieve more during the late night hours and yet still function during the daytime. While there are plenty of resources out there for early birds or those who thrive in the morning hours, there is little to nothing available for night owls. The Night Owl Action Plan was designed to help bridge that gap...even if just a little to start. The Night Owl Action Plan was conceived during the Gumroad Small Product Lab, an initiative that asked participants to create a product from zero to shipped in just 10 days. The package consists of a 20 page ebook, 40 minute audio program, and an Evening Quickstart PDF...all for just $10. I'll be adding more to the package (as well as improving it) as time goes on because I believe that fighting your body clock is the wrong battle...and I truly do want to be a champion for the night owl set. I'd love it if you'd pick up The Night Owl Action Plan while it is priced at $10 (it will gradually increase), and even more pleased if you would share it widely so that I can reach as many night owls as possible so I can help them keep moving things forward...day and night. Thanks!
I've been a @mikevardy fan (and fellow beer-appreciator) for a while and am excited for him as he ships this. Congrats Mike! I believe it's a much needed product. Despite being more of an early riser than a night owl myself, I know plenty of people that will benefit from this.
@alexputici Thanks for the kind words - and next time you're around my neck of the woods we should definitely have some more solid beers!
@alexputici Thanks for adding this! I am an early bird myself. But, @mikevardy and I often overlap with our late/early hours. I highly recommend everyone check out his latest work, especially if you burn the midnight oil. ;)
@mikevardy my pleasure. I'd absolutely love to. If you're ever out my way, let me know! There's a few good spots you'd enjoy.
Glad to see some love for the night owls and not just the early birds!

For a period of 10 days I had been using a guided meditation to refresh my morning practice. I discovered an useful intention-setting meditation; "Listening to Your Inner Voice" by Lori Leyden. Surprisingly it truly has had an impact on my days.
I try guided meditations from time to time; and while I benefit from all moments in meditation some experiences linger. This practice has been one of those. I have been struggling with a challenge and the guidance provided here, along with my desire to face my barriers and boundaries, is the perfect union with my practice right now. Sitting quietly, becoming conscious of my safety, my willingness to grow and feel differently than I do now (practicing satya and aparigraha) and allowing, without constraint or control, to let the truth unfold slowly, I found my intention. I did not come to the cushion with a specific intention in mind. I came to the cushion with an openness to the possibilities; the possibility of change.
This is what the journey into a sober life has been for me. I did have an intention at first – to STOP IT! I wasn't sure what IT was; I did know that it would entail putting down the drink and drugs, but I had no idea what would come next. I just showed up. I found safety in the rooms, I became honest, and I became willing. I learned to let go: to let go of who I was and let go of what I thought was "going to happen". And my life got better; the future opened up and while all situations have not been rosy – they have led to rosy moments and a life I could never have imagined.
So – being open to the intention discovered in this meditation was kind of like being a new comer to my life. I have jerks and pauses, and then cruise along with the smooth deep breath of moments that allow my days to be beautiful.

Mel O'Callaghan Dangerous on-the-way
Mel O'Callaghan – whose work could be discovered during the Nuit Blanche 2016 (under the artistic direction of Palais de Tokyo) and at Palais de Tokyo during the festival DO DISTURB 2, in April 2016, is here continuing her reflections about ritual as a form of expression of the human condition, and the processes of self-transformation which emerge from the tireless repetition of the same actions.
For her solo show at Palais de Tokyo, Mel O'Callaghan went to North East Borneo so as to attend the traditional harvesting of birds' nests, a particularly dangerous ritual, performed twice a year by the Orang Sungai people, at a height of over 120 meters – going up to the summit of Simud Putih, or the "white cave" of Gomantong. Combining sculpture, performance and video, Dangerous on-the-way focuses more specifically on the ekstasis this ritual induces, that physical and mental state described in Greek philosophy as being "outside oneself".
Curator: Daria de Beauvais
Winner of the SAM Prize for Contemporary Art 2015
A monographic book published by SAM Art projects accompanies this show.
As part of the exhibition:
Performance To Hear With My Eyes
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Duration: 45 min.
Every day, performers are handling various objects symbolising the stages needed to access an "ecstatic trance", according to the method developed during the 1970s by the Anthropologist and Linguist Dr. Felicitas D. Goodman, the founder of the Cuyamungue Institute.
Free access, on presentation of an exhibition entry ticket.
From 03/02/2017 to 08/05/2017

Performance as part of the exhibition on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 7:30 p.m. / Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Duration: 45 min.
Talk on Friday February 10
8 p.m.
Free access, on presentation of an exhibition entry ticket.
"Observation was key. I was conscious of travelling there with no preconceived notions of their people and practices and of what I might achieve. I had no interest in approaching this with an ethnocentric focus. I was not there to tell their story. I was simply fascinated to witness a ritual as a form of artistic practice that appeared in some ways to mirror my own."
Mel O'Callaghan
Born in 1975 in Sydney (Australia), Mel O'Callaghan lives in Paris. In 2017, the artist is also holding a solo show at the National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne, Australia). She recently held a solo show at the Museum Medeiros e Almeida (Lisbon, Portugal, 2015). She participated in the group shows "Demain dans la bataille pense à moi", at the Institut d'art contemporain (Villeurbanne, France, 2015) and "Nature/Revelation" at the Ian Potter Museum (Melbourne, Australia, 2015), as well as the Hors-Pistes festival at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris, France, 2016). Mel O'Callaghan teaches at The New School Parsons Paris. She is represented by Galerie Allen, Paris, Galeria Belo-Galsterer, Lisbon and Kronenberg Wright, Sydney.
