The History of Our Foundation
The Gamma Pi Boulé Foundation (GPBF) was founded in 1986 by the Gamma Pi Boulé (chapter) of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity. Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity is the oldest Black Greek letter fraternity. It was established May 15,1904, in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania by five physicians and a dentist. Members of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity are college graduates who have been successful and and standout in their chosen professions. These professions include but are not limited to doctors, lawyers, judges, educators, governmental officials, business executives, entrepreneurs, dentists, engineers, professional athletes, bankers, accountants and architects.
The Gamma Pi Boulé was established by Jerome Page, who had recently relocated from Washington, D.C. to become the president of the Chattanooga Urban League. He had been a member of the Epsilon Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity while in Washington, DC. and sought to establish a Boulé in Chattanooga Tennessee. He successfully organized twelve local accomplished and established professionals and subsequently chartered the Gamma Pi Boulé on July 12, 1986.
Inspired by the preamble and basic tenets of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity as well as the successful social action programs and initiatives completed by the member Boulés, Gamma Pi Boulé sought to establish a local foundation. Dr Clark, as Boulé president , with assistance from David Smith, from Theta Boulé in Knoxville, worked together to organize a committee to establish the Gamma Pi Boulé Foundation whose purpose would be to become the funding arm for the social action programs of Gamma Pi Boulé. The GPBF was granted nonprofit status in 2013.
The major fundraising source for the foundation has been the Paul A. McDaniel Boulé Scholarship Golf Classic. This event is held annually at the Brown Acres golf course in Chattanooga Tennessee. This event has been sponsored by an ever-growing list of local and regional businesses, organizations and individuals who support our mission. The awards have now expanded to support four individual four year scholarships. Renewal is based on predetermined academic criteria. As of 2021, more than $150,000 have been awarded since inception in 2013.
The Paul A. McDaniel scholarship, awarded through Gamma Pi Boulé, supplies financial assistance to academically accomplished African American male high school seniors who reside in southeast Tennessee and who have been accepted to accredited four-year colleges or universities. Applications, written essays as well as interviews are used to judge the candidates. The candidates are screened using the "whole person concept" for high moral character, superior academic achievement, leadership skills and a demonstrated willingness to use their talents for the betterment of society.
The foundation not only supports the PAM Scholarship, it is able to give grants to other select organizations such as the Chattanooga Chapter of The Links, Inc., The Boys Leadership Academy , and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Additionally, the Gamma Pi Boulé Foundation Board members are well established, socially active local philanthropic individuals who typically have shown Board level expertise as well as genuine interest the furtherance of the mission of this Foundation.
In Memoriam
The Paul A. McDaniel Boulé Scholarship Golf Classic was rightfully named in honor of Reverend Paul A. McDaniel. Reverend McDaniel was a widely respected community icon, religious leader, long time pastor, trailblazing political leader and official, and civil rights leader with influence throughout the Greater Chattanooga region , the state of Tennessee and the nation.
We lost Reverend McDaniel on August 22, 2021, at the age of 91.
We the members of Gamma Pi Boulé and Gamma Pi Boulé Foundation will always cherish the legacy and memories of Reverend Paul A McDaniel.

EBOOK: Classroom Interactions in Literacy
McGraw-Hill Education (UK), 2003 M11 16 - 232 pages
This book examines some of the complexities and debates about language, literacy and learning, challenging current assumptions about shared understanding of pedagogical principles. It foregrounds social and cultural issues and the nature of interaction between children and teachers; children and children; children and texts of all kinds; and the significance of wider interactions within the teaching profession.
The contributors revitalise debate about the nature of professional knowledge, provide insights into the detail of classroom discourse and teacher interventions and examine the transformative possibilities of literacy. They argue for a more open and expansive agenda informed by an analytically constructive view of pedagogy and challenge the profession to move from restrictive certainties to the potent possibilities of development through uncertainty and risk.

A drone operator in the UK has produced a breathtaking video that explores the ruins of a building with a history of hauntings.
Nocton Hall was built nearly 500 years ago and served various functions over the years including as a hospital for members of the British Air Force from World War I until it was shut down in 1995.
During the time the hospital was in operation, seven staff members famously reportedly encountering the spirit of a sobbing little girl.
Other witnesses over the years also claimed to have seen the spirit of a woman who became dubbed the 'Grey Lady.'
Unfortunately, Nocton Hall succumbed to a fire in 2004 and all that has been left of the building is an eerie shell of its former self.
This haunting scene was recently captured in incredible detail by drone operator Photo Finish, who created an awesome video exploring the site from an overhead perspective.
While the footage does not capture any ghosts lingering on the property, with the creepy site sitting destroyed beneath dark, ominous clouds, it's certainly haunting nonetheless.

Coffee is the most popular drink in America. Worldwide, almost 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed every day, and it is the second most valuable commodity behind oil traded on the market today. Let's face it, many of us would not easily get out of bed in the morning if we weren't greeted by a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Dexter's Coffee Smoothie Vault in Norwich brews only healthy gourmet coffee locally sourced from Craftsmans Cliff Roasters, which is less than two miles up the road from our local coffee shop. We understand that you want exceptional quality and flavor, and Craftsman delivers every time. In addition, we offer espresso drinks as well if you need a bit of a stronger pick-me-up. Below, we'll take a brief look at the origins of this delectable beverage, and we invite you to stop into our local coffee place for a cup of coffee today!
There are many stories and lore surrounding the discovery and beginnings of coffee. However, the earliest proven evidence of the existence of coffee as a drink as we know it dates back to the 15th century in modern-day Yemen. Here, coffee seeds were roasted and brewed similar to today's preparation methods and enjoyed. The coffee beans came from Ethiopia. In little more than 100 years, the incredibly-tasty drink has spread to Arabia, up through North Africa, and made its way to Europe. For a while, the Middle East and Africa cornered the market on the production of coffee, ensuring they controlled the distribution of coffee beans by sterilizing the seeds so they could not grow elsewhere. However, a man named Baba Budan from Yemen smuggled out some coffee beans and took them to India during the 16th century.
Pope Clement VIII declared coffee an acceptable beverage for Christians in 1600, paving the way for the first coffee house to open in Rome in 1645. The Dutch East India Company first imported coffee on a massive scale, and the British East India Company helped make coffee popular in England beginning in the mid-17th century. Of course, once it made its way to England, it came to America in Colonial times and with the Boston Tea Party in 1773, many Americans gave up tea for coffee. You can say that the rest is history. The Civil War fueled Americans' desire for the beverage as soldiers used the caffeine to help give them energy during their long days at battle. Capitalism soon took over, as entrepreneurs, such as James Folger, began to sell coffee en masse. It almost seemed inevitable that coffee consumption would spread as did our nation.
Today, coffee is part of our culture. We hold business meetings at local coffee shops, and we meet our friends there. We even hold first dates at coffee shops. Incredible novels are written there, and many a business is born there. Coffee has become an ingredient in many popular drinks and food items, such as coffee cake, coffee ice cream, and Irish Coffee. In some cases, coffee supports an entire nation's economy, such as Colombia or Brazil. Coffee is most definitely a staple in American life and one that looks to not leave any time soon.

2019 | DIR: MICAH GALLO | STARRING: ELIZABETH CROSBY, BRUCE DAVIDSON, DENISE CROSBY, ARMAN DARBO, CHLOE PERRIN, TREVA ETIENNE, MATTY CARDAROPLE, GRACE SHEN | REVIEW BY CHRIS THOMPSON Chris Thompson
The film begins in the jungle where Ahkeeba (Treva Etienne) a procurer of ancient artefacts is hightailing it away from a primitive tribe with a large stone 'black egg' that he's liberated from the tribes ancient ceremony of worship and sacrifice to a spider-like deity. A bit later, as he delivers the black egg to the rural home of Walter Clark (Bruce Davidson) an invalid collector of mostly stolen treasures, there is a disagreement over their deal and Ahkeeba smashes the egg unwittingly releasing a giant spider with venomous intent (that doesn't end well for him).
Meanwhile, Kara Spencer (Elizabeth Roberts) has arrived from New York to work as a carer for Walter, taking up residence in the house next door with her two kids Jesse (Arman Darbo) and Cambria (Chloe Perrin). Kara is not in a good way, haunted by the death of her other son Stevie in a car crash that was her fault and addicted to pain killers as she tries to deal with her guilt and her grief.
These two stories come together, uneasily, as Kara tries to care for Walter whilst Jesse begins to form a relationship with him presumably as a kind of surrogate father. And as Walter tells Jesse the story of the spider worshipping tribe, the giant spider itself is making itself at home in Kara's house next door.
What jars with this story is that the elements of the narrative don't fit well together and ultimately don't serve the horror that the spider is intended to create. For a start, the title obviously comes from the children's nursery rhyme about the spider who climbs the spout but gets washed down by the rain. But, even though there's a little girl who's afraid of spiders, there's really nothing in this story that suits the nursery rhyme reference (despite there being spooky voices singing the rhyme in the trailer, which doesn't happen in the movie).
Secondly, the idea of a white western man procuring sacred artefacts from primitive tribes is a great starting point for a horror story if it delved into the propriety of such acts and, classically, used the spider trope as way of the collector getting his comeuppance. That almost happens here – there's a nice scene between Jesse and Walter when Jesse returns an object he's stolen, and Walter calls him a thief. Jesse comes straight back at the old man pointing out that his 'collecting' is no different. But that's about as far as this idea goes before it gets swamped by the final story element which, of course, is Kara's drug addiction and guilt over her dead child. As a set up for a mother who must ultimately face the giant spider, this backstory and character flaw gets in the way of the horror story and fails to fuel its suspense.
It's a shame that these elements don't form a more cohesive narrative spine, because many of the other aspects of the film work quite well. It's nicely shot by Marcos Durian and the special effects overseen by Dan Rebert provide some nicely icky and gooey spider secretions and the spider itself is pleasingly non-CGI (even if the creature work is at times a bit stilted). There are some good scary moments that work fine but would be all the more terrifying if they were better embedded in the narrative.
The performances are solid and the presence of more experienced actors like Bruce Davidson (X-Men, Apt Pupil, Willard) and Denise Crosby (Ray Donovan, Deep Impact, Star Trek: Next Generation) add some gravitas to the cast and Gallo's direction keeps things moving at a good pace.
Itsy Bitsy may not be the most satisfying flick in the cannon of spider-horror, but it does offer an entertaining and occasionally scary night in front of the screen.
Itsy Bitsy will be available on home-entertainment through Eagle Entertaimnet in March 2020.

A majority of all concerned novice traders are inexperienced and full of vigor. This is one of the reasons behind committing possible mistakes. There are several instances where silly mistakes on the part of the traders have resulted in career-ending whoppers. There are different types of miscalculations and trading errors that can result in a substantial dip in your buoyancy, as well.
Disorderliness In Position Sizing
The first and foremost trading error that a majority of all concerned novice traders tend to commit is indiscipline as far as position sizing remains in question. You need to understand that the maximum trading that can be performed is twice the amount that is available in the account. However, Futures and Forex make available greater leverage. There are situations where it is possible to trade fifty times on the available amount. Also, there are situations where the leverage is 200 times, as well. It is important to realize that, in case, of large leverage, continuous losses can drain the account.
Trading At Inappropriate Timings And Over Trading
One of the other common novice trading errors is the wrong timing. There is no point in believing that, as a new trader, you will not find it easy to trade prudently. However, the fact remains that it is always possible to develop a fair understanding of the apt timing as to when the trade dealings can be performed. There remains every possibility of suffering from a substantial amount of risk if the timing is not correct. It is always possible to consider over trading as a possible reason behind errors creeping up in the trading activities. Developing confidence after initial success can always be considered to be one of the reasons behind trading errors creeping up. There are instances where you will feel encouraged in taking as many as 5 long trades in a single day. You can certainly benefit ultimately by resorting to no more than a single trade for 25 pips. This is one of the reasons why; best binary options broker assumes importance.
System Hoping And Blind Following
It indeed seems to be a matter of grave concern that novice traders are not familiar with the aspect that there exists no single perfect system. It is only an experienced trader who realizes the truth that every single system boats of its own benefits and flaws. Also, there is no point in believing that the machine can perform all types of tasks. Novice traders fail to come to terms with the verity that analysis and detailed thought must be performed by the trader.
Over Trust And Revenge Trading
Opting for the wrong brokers is also one of the reasons behind committing trading errors. There is no point in blindly believing seasoned traders. Making a concerted effort to earn more to make up for the previous losses can cause a substantial amount of losses, as well. In other words, engaging in trading activities ruled by emotions can never position you on the winning side. You can always search the internet to learn about the best trading alternatives.
Why We Need Protection From Securities Brokers
There are plenty of people who slave and work themselves like a locomotive to accrue savings that they can invest in stocks. They think that it's their passport to wealth. So, with high hopes of a sizeable return of investments, they call a broker. In theory, a securities broker "is the mediating party between a buyer and a seller in a business transaction on the stock exchange. He or she brings together the investment opportunities and the investor." Pay important attention to this next segment, "securities brokers provide the client with pertinent facts that would help them on their investment decisions." But in reality, over the past few years, investors have lost a total of 5.5 trillion cumulatively. With this kind of figure, most investors must start to question the standards upon which brokers execute their profession.
The truth is that many have been swindled in the world of stocks. Most people assume that because they're entrusting a large amount of money their best interests will be taken to heart. Brokers are around money all the time, and what that does to people is make them greedy. Brokers work on a commission-per-sale basis. What happens is, they prioritize a bigger commission for large investments that may not actually work for the investor in the long term. This practice in the brokerage industry has given rise to the need for investors' protection from bad business. Hence, we give you our 3 tips to protect yourself from greedy brokers:
1. Word of the day: fiduciary
Whenever you avail of a brokerage firm's assistance, ask them what standard they operate under. There are two standards you should be familiar with. Most brokers work under the "suitability" standard which means that they sell investments that they think are "suitable" for the investor. Suitable does not necessarily mean the best. Sometimes it means suitable for the client, best commission for the broker. On the other hand, a fiduciary standard requires, by law, that the financial advisors put the interests of the clients above their own. To know whether the brokerage firm operates under the fiduciary standard, ask them if they have a "Series 65" license.
2. Advisor or broker
There has been an on-going debate on who can best look after your money – a broker or adviser? In conjunction with the tip prior, we advised that you should look for professionals governed by the "fiduciary standard." It is less risky to hire the services of an advisor than a broker because all registered advisors are bound by the fiduciary standard. To elaborate further, the fiduciary standard according to NYtimes.com is "a fiduciary responsibility is an ethical and legal requirement that the investor's best interest comes first, not the adviser's own financial gain." Since it is a legal agreement, advisors who have failed to serve the best interests of their clients are punishable by law.
3. Successful investments require your due diligence
Whether or not you choose an advisor or a broker, what really helps is research. Dishonest professionals prey upon unsuspecting victims – those who have no working knowledge of what they're about to dive into. If you plan on investing your money in stocks, learn their language. If you are too innocent in these matters you increase the risk of you becoming prey. Yes, we do hire brokers and advisors because of their knowledge about the stock market, but you must also learn to help yourself make educated decisions.
Because of recent the roller coaster ride of the stock markets, it's good that more and more people are keeping a stingy eye on Wall Street practices. The economy makes it hard to track progress for the stock markets, but don't make money susceptible by being careless on choosing financial advice.

Does the shortage of diabetes specialists in regional and rural Australia matter? Results from Diabetes MILES-Australia
Skinner, T and Allen, P and Peach, E and Browne, JL and Pouwer, F and Speight, J and Dunbar, JA, Does the shortage of diabetes specialists in regional and rural Australia matter?

Aim To investigate differences in access to services and health outcomes between people living with Type 1 (T1DM) and Type 2 (T2DM) diabetes in rural/regional and metropolitan areas. Methods Diabetes MILESAustralia was a national postal/online survey of persons registered with the National Diabetes Services Scheme. Selected variables, including utilisation of health care services and self-care indicators, were analysed for 3338 respondents with T1DM (41%) or T2DM (59%). Results Respondents from rural/regional (n=1574, 48%) and metropolitan areas were represented equally (n=1700, 52%). After adjusting for diabetes duration, demographic and socioeconomic variables, rural/regional respondents with T1DM (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.830.97) and T2DM (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.590.81) were less likely to report consulting an endocrinologist during the past 12 months. Rural/regional respondents with T1DM were more than twice as likely to have accessed a community/practice nurse for diabetes care (RR 2.22, 95% CI 1.253.93) while those with T2DM were more likely to have accessed a diabetes educator (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.071.36) or dietician (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.071.36). For the T1DM and T2DM groups were no differences between rural/regional and metropolitan respondents in self-reported hypoglycaemic events during past week and the majority of self-care indicators. Conclusions Despite a lack of access to medical specialists, respondents with T1DM and T2DM living in rural/regional areas did not report worse health or self-care indicators. The results suggest that multidisciplinary primary services in rural areas may be providing additional care for people with diabetes, compensating for poor access to specialists.

There's an exercise I've been through with many founders that are just getting to Initial Traction, say $1m-$2m in ARR or so, sometimes less, where I map out their future hiring.
They are often a bit shocked at how many people they are going to need to hire as they cross $10m ARR. Because SaaS requires so many functions beyond engineering, especially if it's sales-driven … outbound, SDRs, inbound, field sales, marketing, customer success, support, more complex product management, etc.
Roughly speaking, most founders will need to hire about twice as many people as they'd planned after about $5m-$10m ARR … if they are growing >= 100% a year.
So let's break it down. Let's say you are at $10m ARR and decently funded, you'll probably have 100 headcount by this point, or at least, by $15m ARR. What will it look like, if it's a sales-driven model?
Let's say it's growing at say 100% annually and you want to hit, say, $20m ARR the next year.
So on the Sales side we'll need about ~40 headcount at $10m ARR … if you want to grow 100% the following year:
- 1 VP of Sales, and probably a VP or Director of Sales Ops, and at least one analyst under them (3).
- Say 20 sales reps to fully hit the $20m ARR plan because we're adding $10m in ARR next year, and more by the end of the year. (That's a yielded quota). Really, we'll want more than this toward the middle of the year because we'll be adding so much net new bookings / MRR. Budget for 25 at least.
- Maybe 8 SDRs to support the sales reps in outbound, screening, etc. Situations vary wildly, but a 1:3 ratio is good for modeling purposes.
- Probably 3-4 Sales Directors to manage the 25 reps (8 reps per director is a standard ratio that works well), and the SDRs (8-10 per director; usually SDR managers can handle more reports than AE managers).
- I'm not even breaking this down between in-bound and out-bound, or adding a distinct field sales function. You'll probably want to add field sales (for Big Deals) by $10m ARR or so, another 2-3 headcount here, minimum.
- Yes, I know this is a lot more than you'd thought.
In Customer Success, we'll probably need about 20 headcount:
- Assume $1m ARR per CSM as you are scaling, $1.5m max. So we'll need about 15-20 CSMs to hit our plan for next year, although we can hire some later in the year, so we can call it 15 for now, and
- A VP to manage them, 2 directors to manage half of the CSMs each, and probably an analyst to support her in data analysis, etc. (4).
In Marketing, it can vary based on outside vendors, but I'm guessing 4-8 employees:
- VP Marketing
- Director Demand Gen
- Director, Field Marketing (events, etc.)
- Content Marketing
- Product Marketing
- Probably, marketing's own lead qualification reps to manage the MQLs (2-3).
In Support, we want 24×7 support at this point, including phone support. Let's assume that takes 5 headcount, minimum, ideally 6.
>> OK we're up to ~70 without a single engineer!
Now let's cross over into product and engineering:
In Product, we're going to need at least 4 FTEs, and even that isn't much fat:
- A VP Product to manage the whole thing
- 2-3 Product Managers to manage segments of the product, integrations, releases, etc.
In DevOps/TechOps, we're going to want probably 3-4 folks just to ensure 24×7 coverage. Really, 4 would be a lot better than 3. PagerDuty is tiring. Should we count DBAs etc. in here? Maybe it's really 6-7.
In Engineering, I think rough-and-tough we'll want 20-25 folks. That's two "pizza box" teams plus a few engineers to do crazy / next gen stuff and a few to just focus on refactors, back-end, etc. Or often a third team just to work on integrations, scaling, etc. We'll also want 2 designers that can work with front-end team by this point.
And finally, we need QA, probably at least 3-4 QA engineers + 1 manager. You can use RainforestQA or something else to get the headcount down, but otherwise, best case assume 1:4 coverage. So with 20 engineers writing code, we're gonna need 3-4 folks on QA team minimum once things are humming, plus a boss for the team.
So that's about 40 in product and engineering you're gonna want at $10m ARR or so.
Or 110 altogether. Plus whomever you need in G&A, finance, etc.
I went over 100 a bit, I know, so cut back from there proportionately. But you'll need those extra heads to hit your growth plan.
Note that I have a lot more in sales+marketing+customer success than your typical model looks like if you compare to public comps (~30% in sales and marketing by revenue). But that's often because they are growing more slowly at that point on a percentage basis than you, have larger quotas, and/or aren't investing as aggressively in customer success.
In other words, assume the majority of your headcount at $10m ARR is not building product, but helping to sell and market and support it. At least for the 90% of us that have sales-driven or sales-assisted models.

Are you late to the sorbet party? It's perfectly fine if you are because latecomers are always welcome, especially when it comes to making healthy desserts that you can enjoy guilt-free. Since people cannot have processed candies and chocolate bars while they are cleansing, we like to provide raw vegan dessert options. People often think that there is no such thing as a raw vegan dessert, but they've obviously never browsed our recipe section (click here to check it out).
This post maybe a little late, but it is still summer and we want to enjoy refreshing, light desserts. We've made a lot of cleanse-approved desserts over the years, but there's a specific happiness that comes from a spoonful of a fruity sorbet. Not only are sorbets much healthier options than sugary, dairy ice creams, they are, dare we claim, much better and tastier. Before you take offense to that statement, hear us out.
You can turn almost every single fruit into a sorbet. Do you enjoy watermelons? How about snacking on peaches? Well, you can turn both of those fruits into sorbets! Not only are sorbets great ways to treat yourself to guilt-free desserts, but they also deliver the same nutrients that you would get if you were to eat the fruit fresh. The great thing about summer is that so many sorbet-worthy fruits are in season. Mangos, kiwis, pineapples, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, papayas, passionfruit, and melons are freshest during summer, so start making those sorbets as soon as you can.
When you make sorbets yourself, there is no need for added syrups or flavorings because the fruits are so fresh and so sweet. To show you how easy it is to make sorbets, we are presenting you with three sorbet recipes that only require three ingredients.
All You Need For A Healthy Fruit Sorbet
- A great blender or small food processor
- Raw agave syrup or grade A pure maple syrup
- Your favorite fruits, diced or cubed to aid the blending process
Mango Sorbet With Pineapple & Banana
Mango, pineapple, and banana all together in one sorbet? This refreshing sorbet will cool you off your palate on these hot summer days.
Click here to make the recipe.
Peach Sorbet
Taste one of the best flavors of summer: peach! This refreshing sorbet is so easy to make and it's even easier to eat
Click here to make the recipe.
Subtly Sweet Strawberry Sorbet
The only thing better than that alliteration is the taste of this sorbet. Strawberries are one of our favorite summer fruits, which is why we wanted to make them into a dessert! It is sweet, but not overpowering.

Working Here: Enthusiasm, work ethic sought in hospitality
- %22It%27s a great career%2C%22 Gina Minisce said. %22I like how different it is every day.%22
For as long as she can remember, Gina Minisce has been around food. Whether it was helping to prepare meals at home or at the family's restaurant in Victor, the retail food business has always been part of her life.
"We'd sit around the family table and talk about the business," said Minisce, 37.
When it came time to select a career, Minisce went into hospitality, opting not to attend college. From the family restaurant, she moved to other restaurants and was able to get a job at the Penfield Country Club in 2004. She started as a clubhouse assistant and moved up through the ranks, now serving as one of the key managers at the club.
"It's a great career," Minisce said. "I like how different it is every day."
Food and hospitality is one middle-skill industry that is growing in our region. According to the New York state department of labor, jobs in food preparation and service is projected to grow 16 percent between 2010 and 2020 in the Finger Lakes region, with 13,560 workers projected in 2020 versus 11,690 in 2010.
More in this series:Working Here
The growth possibilities in the industry are endless, said Mike Smith, general manager of Penfield Country Club. Smith studied hospitality at Monroe Community College and Rochester Institute of Technology, earning a degree in hospitality management. But college degrees are not necessary in the field, he said. What matters in the hospitality field is work ethic, he said.
"The price of education is so expensive these days," Smith said, noting that young people should examine whether taking on too much debt is a good idea.
Smith became interested in the hospitality field because his mother worked at the Rochester Yacht Club. He worked his way through college at MCC and RIT, noting that he came from a working-class family where the cost of a college education was prohibitive.
After he paid his own way through college, Smith worked his way up in the field and was hired six years ago at Penfield Country Club, where he is now general manager. Anyone can career climb in the hospitality industry, he said. When he hires someone, he is looking for a good attitude.
"With work ethic and enthusiasm, the sky's the limit," he said.
Pay ranges widely in the field, Smith noted. There are many minimum wage workers such as a bus person but a job in management could yield six figures, he said.
There are also different types of hospitality jobs, from restaurants to hotels to country clubs, Smith said.
Having worked in restaurants and now a country club, Minisce said she prefers the country club for its more intimate atmosphere. The members know everyone on staff and will even host social events for the staffers such as a baby shower or a fundraiser, she said.
"It's like a family here," Minisce said.
Job openings
There are many positions within the hospitality industry from dish washer to manager and wages range depending on experience and responsibility. The average hourly wage for a server is $9.08 an hour and the average wage for a food service manager is $22.17 an hour, according to Monroe Community College's Career Coach.

Classical vocalist Vidya Shah had not worked with Gaurav Malekar, one half of the EDM duo BLOT!, before. Nor had she ever collaborated with Aditya Balani, Berklee School of Music graduate, composer, guitarist, singer-songwriter all rolled into one. Yet, starting April 6, music lovers can arrange a jugalbandi between Shah and Malekar or Shah and Balani or mix it all up with nine other artists to find the soundscape her voice is best suited for – all thanks to an interactive online platform called Mix the City-Delhi.
"There are moments when you feel vulnerable about what someone might do with your music," said Shah. "But you have to allow people to interpret it in their way."
Mix the City is a website which allows users to arrange pre-recorded music and share their creations on social media. The platform was first launched by The British Council in Tel Aviv, Israel, in April 2013 and has since spread to cover cities like Moscow, Istanbul and Hamburg. Users select a city, hit the record button, click on the musicians of their choice, add a synth effect if they like, and the complex code by UK-based digital companies Flying Object and Roll Studio turns their efforts (on average, users spend 7-8 minutes on the site) into a music video.
"You can feel like a DJ for a few minutes," said Alan Gemmell, country head for The British Council in India.
The British Council is launching Mix the City-Delhi at Connaught Place on Thursday evening, on the heels of Mix the City-Mumbai which went live on March 31. There are two more Indian cities on the cards – Kolkata and Chennai. These launches come within the larger context of the UK-India Year of Culture 2017 programme, which flagged off on February 27.
Both the sets for Delhi and Mumbai on Mix the City have 24 short pieces (a few seconds, really) by 12 city-based musicians to choose from.
Though this makes the platform really simple, it does have limitations. Each musician or band is given a few seconds to develop their sound. This has the advantage of turning that sound into a malleable building block, of course, but it can often seem abrupt. The effect can be staccato – something which is aggravated by the video, in which the cuts are even more abrupt, as the musicians lift a hand or drop it over and over again if you play the same block for some time.
Another shortcoming is the way in which users access the second sample recorded by the musicians. The only way to reach it is by going through the first sample, which runs its entire course in the recording before you get to the next one. For instance, to use Abhishek Bhatia's vocal melody in your mix in the Delhi programme, you'll have to take at least one block of his electronic music on keyboard. A similar problem arises if you want to mute a musician within the track after a few blocks – say you want only the first guitar melody by Aditya Balani from the Delhi set for 30 seconds – to mute his sound after this, you must play his second melody, which lasts only for three seconds or so, but the sound seems incongruous.
That said, the platform is intuitive and allows you to play music arranger. The range of instruments and sounds on offer is interesting. In Delhi, there are choices like the cello, the violin, the sitar, the yayli tambur, been, dholak and electric guitar.
Each musician has recorded their sound against the backdrop of an iconic monument or site in their city. For Delhi, the sites include the 108 foot statue of Hanuman near Jhandewalan, Dadi-Poti ka Ghumbad in Hauz Khas, Agrasen ki Baoli and a street art work in Connaught Place, the India Habitat Centre, India Gate, and amid the strange public art project at the AIIMS Flyover that was installed in the run-up to the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The final arrangement uses clips from the city to create a video of quality, which most people would want to share with friends on social media – real estate on social media is cheap, of course, but it's still remarkable to create an idea with the potential for traction.
According to Gemmell, Mix the City has already seen nearly 1 million users from 198 countries.
In November, The British Council had launched another interactive platform, Mix the Play, with scenes from Shakespeare's plays. Gemmell said it made sense to introduce the interactive music platform in Israel and now India since in both countries, there is a culture of innovation and music.
Mix the City is a massive project – although the British Council wouldn't say what it cost to make – with curators for each city and an overall India curator, Sonya Mazumdar. Gemmell said the idea is to tell a story about the city through its music. We are not sure why the yayli tambur represents the sound of Delhi better than, say, a tabla or flute, but even minus that narrative, the site is fun to play around with.

With the recent departure of a certain occupant of a house that is white, I've felt a shift in my brain function.
I can now think about other things 45% more of the time!
|Get it? 45 percent?
What shall I do with my freed up headspace?
Along with so many, I echo the awe of Amanda Gorman's inaugural poem and of, well, HER!
(Did you see her interview with Anderson Cooper? Swoon!)
The following line from her inaugural poem, The Hill We Climb, inspired my GOLDEN SHOVEL pledge poem:
"striving to form a union that is
perfect" ~ Amanda Gorman
I will keep striving
to write love and lightness into the world, to
spread kindness in the form
of my silly humor that only a
goofball like me can create, to 'bridge'* a union
between despair and delight that
gives momentary respite as we continue to endure what is
because what is is not yet perfect

Now if I could just free up the other 55% from worrying about Covid...
Mosey on over to this week's Poetry Friday hostess, Laura Shovan's blog for her profound insights on Amanda Gorman's brilliance.

It has been cold, y'all. In the last couple days, we've been pushing negative forty degrees fahrenheit. In fact, it was minus thirty-three when I received an emergency alert around ten-thirty last night.
All I could see was the potential for disaster. We left our thermostat set to 72 all night. Still, we woke up today to a frozen hot water pipe in the kitchen and a frozen cold water pipe to one of the bathroom sinks. Coincidentally, the drain for that bathroom sink was already frozen. I can't help but wonder how many people who did turn their thermostats down woke up to even worse problems than ours.
When that alert came in, and it was negative thirty-three degrees, I took a photo of one of our living room windows. It was so cold outside that we had ice forming on the inside of our windows.
What's the big deal? It's winter. You live in Michigan.
And all of this is so very true. Though I won't pretend that I am anywhere near used to weather like this, but who is? But, I survived that cold January night in 1985 Chicago. Granted, I was only five. And, it's Thursday, now. The worst of it is behind us.
Still, I'm looking out my window at this expanse of snow, and I can still feel the bitter cold of the whopping six degrees we've made it to. It makes it hard to imagine a hot summer day dripping with humidity from a wild thunderstorm.
Summer romance blossoms
Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's the fresh air. Summer is just a beautiful setting for a blooming romance to begin. That's what's happening in Once Upon a Time in Iowa. Well, that's what's supposed to be happening.
I won't say that I'm not writing. I've gotten some writing done. I even managed to muster up a scene where Mary Cardelia fainted, possibly from the heat. However, it's entirely possible it was really a swoon, in which case it could have happened in the dead of winter. That was all before this insane temperature drop.
Brain freeze
I'm trying to remember warmer times. I'm trying to imagine the smell of the corn sweating in the fields. I'm trying to recall the way the humidity sticks to you as the drenched land is rapidly baked dry by the sun's unrelenting rays. The heat of those same rays beating down on my own skin, heating me up and causing me to sweat. A sweat that cannot dry and cool me off because the humid air has no room for any more moisture, completely defeating the purpose of sweat.
My mind keeps on wandering to the bitter cold. The subfreezing temperatures that creep into your bones. The snow and ice and frozen water pipes. The way the ice still creeps up the window. The sleeping trees and blanket of snow that covers everything. The complete lack of green. The way the sunshine seems so dim and the brightness comes from the white starkness. My brain feels cold. My hands feel cold. My coffee is getting cold far too quickly.
Poor Mary could use some of this cold
Jesse, the very cause of the possible swoon, set Mary down gently in a chair in the middle of the kitchen. The kitchen where the entire family has gathered. She's embarrassed, and possibly a little confused. Momma's making such a fuss over her. She'd give just about anything for this scene to be over.
Here, it's cold and white. I'd call it uninspiring, but that's not entirely true. It's not inspiring me to work on a summer romance. Instead, it's got me thinking about the long hard winter that's still nearly a decade away. It's got me thinking what it may have been like for Mary and for Jesse. Would Jesse have found himself stranded somewhere along the shutdown railroad? Would he have made it home? Grandpa Melvin was just a baby, then.
The Mary and Jesse in my story will never make it to that winter if they don't finish falling in love. They sit, frozen in time. As frozen as the land around me. Frozen in a heat I can't seem to imagine. All I can seem to manage is hoping the hot kitchen where I left everyone gathered will begin to thaw it out from the inside.
What do you do to transport yourself into the setting of your story when your writing setting is everything contradictory?

In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, Palm City resident and Holocaust survivor Louis Schneider will share his powerful story of perseverance and hope with the Martin County community. Rabbi Matthew Durbin of Temple Beit HaYam will provide opening remarks for this experience, which will take place one night only and is sure to be unforgettable for all in attendance.
Mr. Schneider was born in Belgium in 1934. Although many Holocaust survivors share their heartbreaking stories of concentration camps and life in Eastern Europe, Mr. Schneider chooses to share his harrowing experience as a young child in a family desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the Nazi regime. After his father was shipped to Auschwitz Concentration Camp, he—along with his mother and sister—tried to evade the enemy throughout Belgium, Southern France and Northern Italy.
After the war and miraculously being reunited with his father, the Schneider family immigrated to the United States in 1948. They became naturalized citizens in 1954 and resided in New York. Mr. Schneider studied Biochemistry and Microbiology as an undergraduate and graduate student, performing work with the U.S. Military. He then earned his Juris Doctor and practiced international trade law, representing many German companies. Besides English, Mr. Schneider is fluent in French, Italian and German.
After retiring and relocating to Florida in 2000, Mr. Schneider worked with the Holocaust Documentation Center in Miami and the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. His goal is to continue to tell his story as long as he is able.
Mr. Schneider will speak at Jensen Beach High School at 6:00 p.m. on January 27, 2022. While there is no charge to attend, those interested in attending must RSVP to reserve seats. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
To learn more about Mr. Schneider and what to expect during his presentation, please click here to watch a video segment produced by WPTV in December 2021.
Jensen Beach High School is located at 2875 NW Goldenrod Road, Jensen Beach, FL 34957.

Despite launching in 2014, Casper has already become a leader in the "bed in a box" industry. The Casper Hybrid combines the memory foam of the original Casper Mattress with hundreds of individually wrapped coils to provide a more supportive and bouncier sleep surface. The Hybrid maintains the Casper's zoned construction, ensuring that it's supportive where you want it to be, and softer in other areas. Although rated as a "medium firm" mattress, it is softer than most other hybrid mattress models, and ideal for side and back sleepers. The Casper Hybrid is a great choice if you tend to sleep hot, as it supports better air circulation than all-foam models. The cost is slightly higher than some other hybrid mattress models, but Casper Sleep offers free delivery and a risk-free 100-night sleep trial. Want to learn more? Read on for more insight into the Casper Hybrid and whether it's the right choice for you.
Casper Hybrid Mattress Overview
Casper Hybrid
Casper Hybrid
The soft conforming of the original Casper plus the support of coils.
The Casper Hybrid mattress is 12 inches tall, constructed of four layers of premium foam and pocketed coils. The base is 7 inches thick, with a high density foam base topped with individually pocketed, fabric covered coils. The top layer of foam is 1.5 inches of breathable comfort foam, designed with open cells to allow airflow and maximum coolness. The next two layers are 1.5 inches of memory foam, designed to relieve pressure, followed by a layer of zoned support transitional foam. This zoned foam is softer under the shoulders to provide pressure relief, and firmer under the hips for more support. This zoned approach to support means that the mattress will feel firmer when you're sleeping on your back, and softer when you're on your side.
The Casper Hybrid also offers enhanced edge support, making it easier to get in and out of bed. The cover is a breathable polyester blend, and feels soft and stretchy to the touch. By adding coils to the memory foam, you get the best of both worlds: Plenty of contouring and support without sinking too deeply, and plenty of responsive bounce.
The Casper Hybrid's coils are constructed from a very durable material that resists sagging, improving the overall longevity of the mattress. The coils also allow for increased airflow, contributing to the Casper Hybrid's ability to sleep cooler than other memory foam mattresses.
The Casper Hybrid is rated 5.5, or medium firmness, on a firmness scale of 1-10. However, it is slightly softer than some other mattresses rated at a similar firmness level. Casper mattresses are designed with a zone construction in the middle foam layer; it has firmer foam in the center of the mattress to support the lower back and hips, and a softer foam at the head and foot of the bed.
The Casper Hybrid is available in six sizes, listed below. Note that the prices are before any sales or discounts.
|Twin XL
|California King
Casper Hybrid Mattress Pros and Cons
|Free standard delivery
|Slightly higher price point than other memory foam mattresses
|100-night sleep trial and 10-year limited warranty
|Doesn't offer as much bounce and responsiveness as other hybrid mattresses
|Excellent motion isolation and virtually silent
|Not ideal for heavier back and stomach sleepers
|Excellent for smaller side sleepers
|Sleeps cooler than most memory foam mattresses
Casper Hybrid Mattress Breakdown
Below, learn more about some of the specific aspects of the Casper Hybrid, including its construction, comfort, and durability. For more on our mattress review process, check out our methodology.
Is it made from quality materials?
The Casper Hybrid is made from high quality materials, in particular the coils. The hundreds of individually wrapped springs are made from durable steel, providing excellent durability and and responsive bounce. The mattress includes several different types of foam, including breathable open-cell foam, which contributes to the mattress' ability to sleep cool. The mattress also includes high-density memory foam and support foam. All of Casper's foams are Certi-PUR US certified, meaning its made without harmful chemicals or toxins..
How long will it last?
In general, the Casper Hybrid is comparable to other memory foam hybrids, with a lifespan of 6-7 years.
How well does it conform to my body?
In terms of contouring, the Casper Hybrid's combination of foam and coils provides a supportive sleeping surface without sacrificing too much. This means that it provides plenty of pressure relief without making you feel as if you're "stuck" in the bed. The mattress's body conforming abilities are overall consistent, without any areas of significant sinkage or pressure, regardless of position. That being said, stomach sleepers are likely to find that the mattress doesn't properly align your spine, causing discomfort in the lower back.
Is the edge supportive?
The Casper Hybrid is constructed with extra edge support, creating a firmer edge that allows you to get in and out of bed more easily. The firmer edge also helps prevent sagging along the edges of the bed, such as that caused by sitting on the edge of the mattress.
Does it sleep hot?
The Casper Hybrid sleeps cooler than most memory foam mattresses. Not only does the open cell memory foam used for the top comfort layer allow for more airflow to maintain a cooler temperature, the coils encourage increased airflow.
Will it off-gas when it's delivered?
As with most memory-foam hybrid mattresses, the Casper Hybrid does have some off-gassing and odors when it's first delivered. However, these odors are not long-lasting, and typically dissipate entirely within a few days.
Will I feel my partner move during the night?
The Casper Hybrid offers excellent motion isolation. You are unlikely to feel too much motion when you or your partner rolls over or gets out of bed. The mattress's coils do provide some bounce, but much of that movement is absorbed by the memory foam layers, That makes the bed an excellent choice for couples, especially when one or both tends to be an active sleeper.

Who is Best Suited for a Casper Hybrid Mattress?
Mattress comfort is subjective, and everyone has their own experience on a specific mattress. That being said, because overall comfort and spinal support are the key factors in selecting a mattress, you should consider factors such as your body weight/type, preferred sleeping position, and how you typically sleep when considering a new mattress.
Because the Casper Hybrid tends to be on the softer side of medium firmness, it's best suited for side and back sleepers with a smaller or average body weight (up to 230 pounds). Heavier individuals (over 230 pounds), especially stomach sleepers, will likely find that the Casper Hybrid is not supportive enough, and that it sinks and sags too much for comfort.
For those who sleep with a partner, the Casper Hybrid is a good choice, as it practically eliminates motion transfer, meaning that you aren't likely to feel any motion at all when your partner moves or gets out of bed. And despite having coil springs, the Casper Hybrid is virtually silent, so you won't be awakened by a noisy mattress. The hybrid construction also helps make this mattress good for couples, as the coils provide more bounce and responsiveness than all-foam mattresses and make it better for sex than most all-foam mattresses.
Casper Hybrid vs. Original Casper
The primary difference between the Casper Hybrid and the Original Casper is the addition of coils in place of the support foam layer. This makes the mattress more supportive, especially when combined with the Casper's zoned support construction. The Casper Hybrid is also bouncier and more supportive than the Original Casper, making it easier to move around and better for sex than most traditional memory foam mattresses. The Casper Hybrid was also designed with additional edge support, which makes it easier to get in and out of bed, and reduces the amount of sagging on the edges of the bed, a common issue with memory foam mattress. Like the traditional Casper, the Casper Hybrid is well-suited to side sleepers (especially smaller or lighter individuals) and back sleepers, but may not provide enough support for stomach sleepers.
Pricewise, the Casper Hybrid is slightly more expensive than the Casper. It also weighs more; the Casper Hybrid weighs 106 pounds, while the Casper weighs only 71 pounds.
Ready to Buy a Casper Hybrid?
If you are ready to purchase a Casper Hybrid mattress, here are some important details you should know about the sleep trial, warranty, and shipping policies.
Sleep Trial
Casper offers a 100-night sleep trial for the Casper Hybrid. The trial begins upon delivery of the mattress. If you decide during the trial that the Casper Hybrid isn't for you, contact the company. They will arrange to pick it up and donate it to charity, and issue a full refund. You do not need to put the mattress back in the box. Note: No returns are accepted after 100 days.
Casper offers a 10-year non-prorated, non-transferrable warranty on the Casper Hybrid mattress. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of the mattress under normal conditions. This includes splits or cracks in the foam material, a broken zipper on the mattress cover, and a visible indentation of greater than one inch that can't be attributed to using an inappropriate base. If your mattress is defective, Casper Sleep will provide a repair or replacement.
Availability and Delivery
Casper Hybrid mattresses can be purchased online at Casper.com and from one of the 17 brick-and-mortar locations. The mattresses are compressed and shipped in boxes for free to the lower 48 states and most of Canada. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, and the northernmost parts of Canada incur a fee. In-home delivery and setup is also available for $149. You can opt to have your old mattress removed and recycled during that appointment.
Select models of Casper mattresses can also be purchased from Amazon, Target, and West Elm.

Full Glass is a self-care reading. Although, it is similar to Broken Mirror and Black Rose, Full Glass focuses solely on self-care and what you need to do to empower yourself and continue forward. This graphic was inspired by the Queen of Pentacles, a card that calls us to make sure we are in good shape, mentally and physically. While Broken Mirror focuses on finding peace in the chaos around you, Full Glass focuses on creating good habits and not losing yourself to the mundanity of life.
This reading answers the following questions:
- "How can I take better care of myself?"
- "How can I attract more happiness in my life?"
- "How can I build a better life for myself?"
- "What is my next step?"
- "What should I focus on?"
- "What do I need to hear right now?"
I use my Wild Unknown Tarot deck and my Self Care Oracle to answer some of these questions. The default receiving method for this reading would be a typed message, but you can also purchase it with the intent to converse with me. I will interpret ten (10) tarot cards for the full reading.

Historical Copper mine
Located in the Nahe valley near Fischbach along the German Gemstone Route ('Deutsche Edelsteinstrasse'), a few kilometres away from Idar-Oberstein, this was one of the largest and most significant copper mines in western Germany up until the Napoleonic era. Even if the "Hosenberg mine" stood in the shadow of the copper mines of Tirol and Hungary with regard to output, the quality of copper from this mine was unsurpassed. The mine was in operation until 1792 when French Revolution troops began to occupy the left bank of the River Rhine.

Voting for choosing the members for the Moodle User's Association committee is now over and we have a brand new MUA committee of 10 members which will serve for next one year. The roles of the selected members will be decided afterwards by the committee members.
Top Voted Members:
The top 10 members who gets the maximum number of votes (in descending order) are as follows:
- Hideto Harashima (Committee Member) – 10775
- Mark McKay (Committee Member) – 7993
- Nick Thompson (Chairperson) – 5034
- Richard Samson – 4595
- Emma Richardson (Secretary) – 4335
- Jeff Webster (Committee Member) – 4115
- Steve Powell (Committee Member) – 3630
- Michael Sankey (Vice Chairperson) – 3160
- Joseph Thibault (Committee Member) – 2750
- Jean-Marc Doucet – 2181
However, the other 5 which are not able to make up for the committee this year are:
- Jaswinder Singh – 1735
- Mike Churchward – 1069
- Anna Krassa (Committee Member) – 705
- Mark Brown – 655
- Michael Nodding – 15
The voting process was very slow in the initial period but during the final stages it gets a lot of traction with many votes casted in the final stages of the voting cycle.
Out of the 10 elected members, 08 belongs to the first MUA committee with the inclusion of Richard Samson & Jean-Mar Doucet to the party. I also tried my bit but unfortunately can't make it this time. But I believe that the elected members are much more capable and more worthy to take MUA forward with more participation among the moodle users.
Many thanks to all those who participated in the voting process and Hearty congratulations to all the new elected committee members from my side.
Happy Moodling!!!

Are You a Cook or a Baker?
Do you enjoy the culinary results of tossing ingredients together with some heat to create some spontaneous deliciousness? Or do you prefer the structured act of measuring and timing that create cookies and cakes? The methodological divide between cooking and baking is not so different between different types of writing: writers who write spontaneously versus writers who plan and structure.

Who is She: Lizzie Smith
Introducing the "Who is She" series, it's a chance for us to share women who inspire us not just because they are #DTM but also because of the values they hold and who they really are.
Our first "Who is She" feature is Lizzie Smith! I had the opportunity to catch up with her this week and I can confidently say that Lizzie is hands down one of the most creative people I've ever met. She makes and analyzes art, writes, sings, and acts. So I knew going into the interview that we would touch on a broad range of topics. Besides her work in school and summer in New York, we talked about the fetishization of Asian women, and how the ever-changing art scene is impacting her as well as many other artists.
My conversation with Lizzie begins with art.
I have always been a big fan of art. So she has my full attention as she goes into the intellectual realm of the art world. I am not as engaged with art on an intellectual level, so I wanted to know her thoughts on art history as a major and the change she'd like to bring to the art world.
"The major, if you think about it, is perceived as an elitist, cocktail party worthy convo, and feminine, with the connotation of not being able to put to use", she says slowly. "The undergraduate degree in art history is often seen as something more caliber, almost a pass off. I know from being an art history major and people in the major that it is hard work and people are committed."
Lately, she's been thinking about art in a different way. She says that it's one thing for an artwork to be politically in a gallery. It becomes political in a different way when it enters the public and becomes accessible. Her thoughts on the display of art are radical and refreshing. From her tone, I can tell that art to her is more than a field. It has become part of her identity.
The conversation quickly diverges to what it is like being mixed race in dating life. Lizzies tells me that being half Korean and half white made her dating experience very different from her Asian friends. "I pass as a white person for most people, though for some I don't. How that relates to dating material per say. It almost feels like, a lot of guys are into dating a mixed race girl because she is just exotic enough looking, but not too exotic. Because if you are full Asian… you're more prone to be fetishized because of exoticism. It's just so f*cked up."
"I feel very strongly about this. I think it happens everywhere, whether it is hookups or dating. It can happen in a long seemingly loving relationship. But I know comments have been said. Comments about my parents have been said… It's very sickening, and it is definitely something I wish wasn't a problem. I think it is often looked over." I can feel her resentment towards this fetishization, and I definitely share the same sentiment. "Uber drivers would often ask me, "What are you!", she lowers her voice imitating the uber driver. They won't say anything during the entire ride and that is the only thing they would say." As we near the end of our conversation, the topic of her summer internship at "Creative Time" in NYC comes up. She tells me that Creative Time does a really good job with making art tangible to the public. What came to my mind immediately was Street Art like murals. But she proceeds to say "how do we take art that is in a gallery and the idea and complexity in the museum and make it intelligible and powerful in the public other than this elite sphere." To her, art can be political in the gallery, but it becomes political differently when it enters the public and becomes more accessible in public.
Thinking back to last summer, she recalls sitting on the floor of her tiny studio apartment and thinking 'Oh god, how am I going to survive this for two months?'. To her, the city was very lonely at first- being surrounded by all these people she didn't know. "I've never lived in a city like that before, it's just so fast and so overwhelming which took awhile to get used to." I mean, just me trying to find rent that I could afford in Manhattan was insane. It didn't take long for her to fall in love with the city though!
She has concerns for the future of the art communities in New York. She tells me that "there's a lot of talk of how New York used to be the place where art showed and live, and in the future it might just be more art to show. The skyrocketing rent causes a lot of artistic communities to be kicked out, especially POC and minorities". She's unsure whether she will return to New York this summer but I know that she will be inspiring others whenever she goes.
