CERAMICS & PRINT Exhibition November 2012
CERAMICS & PRINT 2012
Exhibition 29 October - 24 November 2012
Ceramic Print in Contemporary International Ceramic Art
In the twenty years since the first edition of Paul Scott's handbook CERAMICS AND PRINT appeared, printed surfaces have become commonplace in contemporary ceramic art practice.
LINK - The book: amazon.com/Ceramics-Print-New-Paul-Scott
Paul Scott is an artist best known for his research into ceramics and print.
His practice is diverse, so as well as making individual artworks, installations and artefacts for exhibition, he also works to commission, writes, teaches and curates.
To coincide with the imminent publication of a completely new edition of the book CERAMICS AND PRINT, this exhibition on ceramic print involves a representative group of international artists in the field:
Paul Scott, Stephen Dixon, Ane-Katrine von Bülow, Richard Shaw, Megumi Naitoh, Charlotte Hodes, Lesley Baker, Cathy Terepocki, Evelina Wojtowicz, Laura McKibbon and Matthew Raw.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITORS:
Paul Scott (UK) www.cumbrianblues.com
Paul Scott creates individual pieces that are exacting and critical, blurring the boundaries between fine art and design.
Research has always played a key role in all aspects of his work - from investigating the technical methodologies of print transfers to the synthesis of historical form and contemporary artefact embodied in his Cumbrian Blue(s) artworks.
As a result, he has ongoing connections with a number of Universities and Ceramic Research Centres around the world.
In 2010 Paul was awarded a Doctorate by Manchester Metropolitan University for his MIRIAD funded research project into printed landscape patterns on tableware Ceramics Landscape Remediation and Confection. In 2011 appointed Professor 2, Ceramics at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHIO), Norway. www.khio.no

Ane-Katrine von Bülow (DK) www.anekatrinevonbulow.dk
Ane-Katrine von Bülow was educated at the Danish Academy Design School and is one of Denmark's leading ceramic print artists, who has long worked with form and graphic surface, mixing digital mapping with low-tech paper transfer print processes.
“At the exhibition, I will show Serigraphic Fragments on simple geometrical three-edged forms.
The black/white graphic ornamentation is softened in grey tones by raster; - a raster in the form of nets, a repeating pattern, an ornament in infinite compositions ever-changing between positive and negative.”

Stephen Dixon (UK) www.artdes.mmu.ac.uk/p/sd
Professor Stephen Dixon is head of craft research at MIRIAD (Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design) and is well known for his research into ceramic print processes as well as his political works.
Dixon has recently become interested in the evocative, narrative qualities of historic and archive documents. This interest began during a six month ceramics residency at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2009-10) and has developed over subsequent projects.
Inventory a series of digitally printed porcelain plates made during the V&A residency, combines drawings from the sculpture collections with original archive documents relating to the collections. Letters from Tripoli was the result of a chance find in an Italian flea-market. It was created for the project Memoranda at the Craft Study Centre, Farnham, UK in 2011, and consists of a series of found ceramic shards, over-printed with fragments of authentic archive documents and photographic images, which collectively piece together the story of an Italian prisoner of war in WW2. Janus Head is a large, composite head, based on the two-faced Roman God, a metaphor of the V&A ceramic collections.”
Richard Shaw (USA) www.richardshawart.com
Richard Shaw based in Berkley California is best known for his pioneering, surreal, trump l'oeil sculptural forms. He has been a significant figure in American ceramics for over forty years and has an international reputation.
3 pieces: Bray Show (edition 3)- Willow ware with Pin Cyshion - Letter to Alice.
Lesley Baker (USA) www.lesleybaker.com
Lesley Baker works as Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Herron School of Art and Design IUPUI, Indianapolis, USA. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design.
“My work is about creating pieces with a level of subtle social statement and much like how we are presented information through mass media, the true message is not always obvious. I use floral imagery to represent the past and the power of nature, and also as a device to entice the viewer. The themes include but are not limited to global warming, war, mass media, and things that in general feel like they are beyond our control. The messages are subtle because I want the viewer to be engaged and not immediately confronted.
Layering of imagery has developed from my background in architecture and the idea of façade, a skin on a piece that informs the viewer and provides multiple levels of meaning. To achieve my desired results I utilize traditional ceramic image transfer methods from screen print of ceramic media to newer digital processes.”
3 wall pieces: Declaration - Sheriff's in Town - El Dorado.
Charlotte Hodes (UK) www.charlottehodes.com
Charlotte Hodes is Professor in Fine Art at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London.
She studied at the Slade School of Art, University College London as a Fine Art undergraduate student (1978-82) and postgraduate student in Painting (1982-84).
She has worked in a variety different media, including paper, textiles and ceramics. She made a significant body of work in collaboration with the Spode factory before its closure and is working with Paul Scott on new research into the Spode Archive.
Charlotte Hodes’ ceramics are informed by her practice as a painter. She utilizes the ceramic surface as a three dimensional canvases onto which she draws her images. Her iconography is centred on the female figure within a contemporary context depicted as a silhouette juxtaposed with motifs loaded with female associated references. It questions the position of the female figure as represented in art history, as a decorative motif and as being inextricably linked to the domestic. The ceramic platters, plates and vessels, as objects themselves refer to the feminine and domestic whilst also offering up visual motifs which in turn form part of her imagery.
The dishes represented in this exhibition were made during Charlotte‘s short placements at the ceramic factory Spode (1998-2004) in the UK, where she had open access the Spode historical archive of copper engraved sheet and chintz transfers. For her, this was a usable archive of collage material to be cut up and reconstructed for the creation of new incarnations.
2 unique one-off pieces made at the UK ceramic factory Spode.
Material/technique is copper engraved tissue transfer from Spode archive in Cranberry on Spode china. 29 cm diameter.
Megumi Naitoh (USA) www.meguminaitoh.com
Megumi Naitoh is an emerging American artist working with screen printed imagery sourced from cyber-space, collaged with personal imagery. Her artwork plays with surface, media, technology and our perceptions.
“Since 2001, I have been interested in Roman mosaics and their narrative depiction of daily life. I am intrigued by how the mosaics consisted of small pixel like squares that were structured in a non-grid, free form manner. I responded to the Roman mosaics by creating portraits with visible pixels. The tightly configured grid structure of the digital pixilated portraits is contrasted against the more free-formed Roman mosaic aesthetic. The portraits are abstracted and made indefinite by pixilation and present anonymity. The landscape format, size, and frames reference smart phones or computer monitors and suggest internet communication and online activities.
My current work references mosaics and tile murals. My main interest in online activities continues to manifest in this series, exploring the relationship between technology and our lives. In 2007, I became concerned with Second Life, a 3D virtual world. Second Life is created by its residents and inhabited by millions of users from around the globe who create many communities for entertainment, friendship, education, businesses, etc. Although users can express their identities by creating custom avatars, the environment is established to keep the residents’ anonymity.
Anonymous blogs, forums, and social sites are a new way of social interaction. They are quite unique to our contemporary lives. By creating two vantage points and presenting images from both the real and virtual worlds in one piece, the work expresses the integration of real life and virtual life, and how we quickly weave through these two worlds on a daily basis.”

Laura McKibbon (CA) www.culdesacdesign.com
Cul de sac products are all handmade in Vancouver, BC solely by designer/maker Laura McKibbon. With an academic background in sciences, she is a self-taught ceramic artist, whose work is not bound by labels or tradition. Her work incorporates hand built, functional ceramics with photography and printmaking.
“My work explores a sense of belonging; the feeling of home that connects us to our physical environment. Inspiration comes from the world around us; highlighting the unique yet universal personal experiences we have, embodying them in the ceramic surface as a way to make the temporary permanent.
This series is part of an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between landscape and culture. I am fascinated by the structure and predictability of the natural world and how the human experience; emotional, impulsive and irrational, exists within this ordered environment. My work features a strong graphic element, referencing the historical tradition of ceramic surface decoration, while reflecting aspects of contemporary life and celebrating the elements we inhabit.”

Matthew Raw (UK) www.matthewraw.co.uk
Matthew Raw graduated from the Royal College of Art in London 2010.
His impressed ceramic artworks are variously political and commemorative in nature. In 2011 he completed a commission for El-værket in Holbæk, Denmark.
“Working Title: An Artist Has Produce.. My talk at the Ceramic & Print Seminar will focus around art as a product, with the artist having/being/creating produce. I will create the pieces for this exhibition in the week leading up to the seminar, exploring these issues in three-dimensions.
Discussing and exploring this at Guldagergaard is special to me, as it was the first institution where I felt, and was treated like, a professional. The fact that it was in a different country appealed to me as someone who loves to travel, and was brought up in a house full of international people and global concerns. I have continued to work in other country's, and strive as an artist to discover exciting opportunities and experiences all over the place!”
Three wall mounted pieces, 40 x 40cm. Print/text stretched and distorted.
Cathy Terepocki (CA) www.cathyterepocki.com
www.hornofplentynews.blogspot.co.uk
Cathy Terepocki is a ceramic artist living in Saskatoon, Canada. She graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2004.
“I have always been interested in collecting anachronistic objects. These objects, whether clothing, furniture or a patch work quilt act as catalysts for a myriad of imagined stories. They are clues about the society from which they came while allowing us to see the evolution of contemporary culture. My admiration of these objects has naturally transcended into my ceramics practice.
The search for images is a key element to my work. Ephemera, textbooks and other didactic sources are primarily where I find images, they are then re-contextualized on my ceramic pieces. What is of interest to me is how adding a layer of colour, texture, pattern and collaged print can disrupt their intended meaning, heighten their idiosyncratic nature as well as provide fragments of a narrative. Placing these images onto functional objects takes this a step further. It also allows the viewer to engage with the work on a different level when it becomes part of everyday use.
The forms I use are usually wheel-thrown. The surfaces are developed by building up layers of print including basic mono-printing techniques when the clay in wet, in-glaze or laser decals after the pieces are glazed and repurposed commercial decals to finish off the piece and provide one more layer of complexity, beauty and nostalgia.”

Evelina Wojtowicz www.evelinawojtowicz.com
Evelina Wojtowicz is a young artist living in Northern Ireland. She has studied Geology and Fine Art in Wroclaw, Poland, and continued her studies in Northern Ireland with a BA Hons Course of Fine & Applied Arts, 2009-2012, Diploma in Industrial Studies, University of Ulster, Belfast, 2010-2011, and BA Art & Design - Ceramics, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Ireland, 2007-2009.
“In my art practice I am working with aspects of the feeling of space in between images, form, their layers and meanings. In experimenting with space, layers of allegories and their composition, my work draws the line between time and space through narrative, form and display.
Living, working and studying in different places such a Poland, Sweden, Ireland and the UK over the years, my biggest inspirations come from how we build our individual and collective identity of space between the present moment and memories.
A big part of my own art practice is based on the use of print techniques in the field of ceramics. Over the years I have developed a technique of applying the images by printing between very thin layers of porcelain, which allows me to get a unique effect of ghostly images seen through porcelain and within the form; unfolding the stories through certain light.
We find ourselves on the journey from the present into the past and the future and it is the just unpredictable NOW that I have been trying to capture in my work, so we can find ourselves between the layers of our own existence with its translucent meanings of life.”
3 cups - The project BEING BETWEEN is about being between the layers of our own being, between translucent meanings of life.The porcelain with printed drawings and archive images bring the story written between the past, present and future. The dialogue between high fired porcelain and glass stained together contains a real life of light in a very present moment as an example of contemporary lithophanes. The character of the girl shaded between all become to be again a witness, looking through, in and out of everything..

The Olympia test can.
The traditional Olympia can.
This months can of the month is a rare Olympia test can. Its color combination ensured that this never made it into production. The can pictured at left is a sixteen ounce can that features the long time Olympia color scheme. It was seen on Olympia products from prohibition through the 1970's. The can on the right features the unusual color scheme but with the same basic logo design. Olympia is still being produced today but after a series of owners is now owned by Miller. The Olympia brewery sign was replaced by a Miller sign in the fall of 1999.

Too Close to the Sun
Too Close to the Sun was a work in progress performance devised and performed with Hannah Reade which explored – via the Icarus myth – ideas of failure and the value we place on breakages and crashes.
With a box of feathers and a gasp, the audience were invited to consider their dark and light sides, and join together by making a soundtrack of their breath and song which provided the basis for all the sound in the show.
Too Close to the Sun was a BAC Scratch commission.
Dates: May 2012

Actions from the Afterlife
a performance lecture about class, witnessing, and who gets left out of “history”
“I think you are astutely funny on stage, but what I really enjoy is how you make it ok for us to go deeply into something serious, long enough to be thoughtful and reflecting and thankful, actually.” – Dr. Simon Bowes, commissioner.
Anchored was initially made for the conference ‘Hold Everything Dear: John Berger and performance’ at the University of Greenwich in April 2018.
We are performance makers: we are looking ever closer at the detail of where we are now so that we may lose our bearings.
“Surrounded by so many abstractions, they have to invent and share their own transient landmarks.”
We hope to come back, to find ourselves elsewhere.
This performance meditates on achorlessness across three threads:
performative writing gathered around autobiographical reflections on place and silence
field recordings and lullabies from Alan Lomax’s archive
footage of everyday materials magnified by a factor of 400
Text, song and image weave together exploring what remains when we lose our anchors of place and time.
An exploration of the history of lullabies, their beauty, and darkness: The Lullaby Directory explores the human need to be held, and how we use song to hold ourselves against the unpredictability of existence.
“Rhiannon Armstrong can sing […] the most luscious of anti-capitalist protest songs” Megan Vaughan
“mesmerisingly beautiful songs” Clare Qualmann, audience member
The project began with an invitation to make a performance that would take place in complete darkness.
Rhiannon performs versions of lullabies from around the world, drawing on extensive research from publications and recording archives.
The Lullaby Directory explores in particular those lullabies that express a wish to harm the baby, touch as part of the listening experience, and uses bespoke amplification techniques that turn singing into highly responsive vibrations.
The Lullaby Directory has been shown as:
a multi-sensory performance taking place in total darkness at Battersea Arts Centre
a site-specific choral performance at Wellcome Collection Reading Room
a theatre performance incorporating science fiction writing at The Yard Theatre

The Dalai Lama Supports 2045’s Avatar Project
The 2045 initiative has received the blessing and support from the Dalai Lama, as it prepares to announce the second Global Future 2045 Congress, being held in New York, June, 2013.
Dmitry Itskov, founder of 2045, met His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, in his residence in Dharamsala, a small mountain town in northern India.
They discussed the three major steps of 2045 Avatar Project. First, the creation of a human-like robot dubbed “Avatar A,” and a state-of-the-art brain-computer interface system to link the mind with it. Next, it be created a life support system for the human brain, which connects to the “Avatar A,” turning into “Avatar B.” The third step, named “Avatar C”, is developing an artificial brain in which to transfer one’s individual consciousness with the goal of achieving cybernetic immortality.
Creating the “Avatar C” through developing an artificial brain and understanding the nature of human consciousness, says the Dalai Lama, could be attainable, and would be a great benefit to future development of science.
Dmitry Itskov, founder of 2045 Initiative, with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, at his Dharamsala residence.
“In the last few years, scientists now begin to show an interest about consciousness, as well as brain specialists, neuroscientists, who also begin to show interest about consciousness or mind. I feel that over the next decades modern science will become more complete,” said the Dalai Lama. “So up to now the matter side of science has been highly technical, highly advanced, but the mind side has not been adequate. This project, definitely, is helpful to get more knowledge.”
Several months ago, DARPA – the Pentagon’s research arm – announced their own plans on creating a militarized avatar project, serving as a soldiers surrogate on the battlefield.
“My project has very different, humanitarian goals – it involves technologies that could mark a transition for humanity, with endless benefits in the future. But already in the next few years, we will be able to enhance the life of those who are disabled, radically improving their living standards. This is just the beginning. It’s my goal to ensure it is affordable and accessible for all people - not just for the elite and the military,” said Itskov.
The Dalai Lama also agreed that it is crucial to discuss the ethics behind these types of progressive technologies. “We should carry out these experiments with a full sense of responsibility and respect for life that will only benefit humanity, benefit others.”
Itskov has been reaching out to spiritual leaders to start a dialogue about how they could reach harmonious integration with scientists. “It’s important to establish a bridge between scientists and spiritual leaders for a successful transition to a new phase for humanity,” he said.
The 2045 initiative held its first Global Future 2045 Congress in Moscow, in February 2012. There, over 50 world-leading physicists, biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and philosophers met seeking to develop a strategy for further development of the humankind. The initiative’s goal is to create a network with the world’s leading scientists who are focused on the development of cybernetic technology with the ultimate goal of transferring human’s individual consciousness to an artificial carrier. The network will act as an investment hub, contributing to various projects around the world.
The next Global Future 2045 Congress will be held in June 2013, in New York City. For more information, please visit www.GF2045.com.
Founded by Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov in February 2011 with the participation of leading Russian specialists in the field of neural interfaces, robotics, artificial organs and systems.
The main goals of the 2045 Initiative: the creation and realization of a new strategy for the development of humanity which meets global civilization challenges; the creation of optimale conditions promoting the spiritual enlightenment of humanity; and the realization of a new futuristic reality based on 5 principles: high spirituality, high culture, high ethics, high science and high technologies.
The main science mega-project of the 2045 Initiative aims to create technologies enabling the transfer of a individual’s personality to a more advanced non-biological carrier, and extending life, including to the point of immortality. We devote particular attention to enabling the fullest possible dialogue between the world’s major spiritual traditions, science and society.
A large-scale transformation of humanity, comparable to some of the major spiritual and sci-tech revolutions in history, will require a new strategy. We believe this to be necessary to overcome existing crises, which threaten our planetary habitat and the continued existence of humanity as a species. With the 2045 Initiative, we hope to realize a new strategy for humanity's development, and in so doing, create a more productive, fulfilling, and satisfying future.
The "2045" team is working towards creating an international research center where leading scientists will be engaged in research and development in the fields of anthropomorphic robotics, living systems modeling and brain and consciousness modeling with the goal of transferring one’s individual consciousness to an artificial carrier and achieving cybernetic immortality.
An annual congress "The Global Future 2045" is organized by the Initiative to give platform for discussing mankind's evolutionary strategy based on technologies of cybernetic immortality as well as the possible impact of such technologies on global society, politics and economies of the future.
Future prospects of "2045" Initiative for society
The emergence and widespread use of affordable android "avatars" controlled by a "brain-computer" interface. Coupled with related technologies “avatars’ will give people a number of new features: ability to work in dangerous environments, perform rescue operations, travel in extreme situations etc.
Avatar components will be used in medicine for the rehabilitation of fully or partially disabled patients giving them prosthetic limbs or recover lost senses.
Creation of an autonomous life-support system for the human brain linked to a robot, ‘avatar’, will save people whose body is completely worn out or irreversibly damaged. Any patient with an intact brain will be able to return to a fully functioning bodily life. Such technologies will greatly enlarge the possibility of hybrid bio-electronic devices, thus creating a new IT revolution and will make all kinds of superimpositions of electronic and biological systems possible.
Creation of a computer model of the brain and human consciousness with the subsequent development of means to transfer individual consciousness onto an artificial carrier. This development will profoundly change the world, it will not only give everyone the possibility of cybernetic immortality but will also create a friendly artificial intelligence, expand human capabilities and provide opportunities for ordinary people to restore or modify their own brain multiple times. The final result at this stage can be a real revolution in the understanding of human nature that will completely change the human and technical prospects for humanity.
This is the time when substance-independent minds will receive new bodies with capacities far exceeding those of ordinary humans. A new era for humanity will arrive! Changes will occur in all spheres of human activity – energy generation, transportation, politics, medicine, psychology, sciences, and so on.
Today it is hard to imagine a future when bodies consisting of nanorobots will become affordable and capable of taking any form. It is also hard to imagine body holograms featuring controlled matter. One thing is clear however: humanity, for the first time in its history, will make a fully managed evolutionary transition and eventually become a new species. Moreover, prerequisites for a large-scale expansion into outer space will be created as well.

The resolution of the conference Millenium Development Goal's Implemention in NIS Countries.
CoRSUM and Association of Pharmacists of Moldova in collaboration with WCC, EPN, Scientific Centre of Drug and Medical Technology Expertise of Armenia, Lviv State Medical University and Public Health School of Kazakhstan.
Participants discussed the Millennium Development goals’ implementation in context of public health issues. The main challenges in public health in Moldova and other NIS countries were highlighted as priorities:
Lack of modern AMR surveillance system in the public health system, including lack of AMR Hospital Passport.
Low level of effectiveness of microbiology laboratory service and discordance between microbiological service and public health hospitals.
Lack of coordination between human health system and veterinary / agriculture systems in AMR issues.
Insufficient educational programs in medical school and lack of awareness campaign among population in AMR.
Urgent need for National AMR strategic plan and National AMR Task group.
The Conference adopted the Declaration on Antimicrobial resistance that was initially developed during European AMR day – November, 18 and later widely discussed by all CoRSUM members.
Lack of pediatrics dosages and formulations is a barrier to effective, qualitative medical care of children as in Moldova as well in other NIS countries. The main challenge is a absence of necessary medicines to treat HIV/AIDS and Tuberculoses. In spite of the growing rate of TB and AIDS in children during last 6 years, there is the gap in the procurement /ordering of medicines for children.
In spite of the fact that the majority of anti-Tb drugs and ARVs are procure through GFTM Fund and hopefully are prequalified by WHO Prequalification program, some of anti-Tb drugs are produced in Moldova. There is a concern about the quality of such medicines.
The lack of independent/ unbiased sources of literature about medicines exists in Moldova still. General practitioners and pharmacists do not have access to evidence –based information as about medicines as well about treatment protocol s.
There is a insufficient level of transparence in the drug registration and drug regulation in general processes. Existing processes of the registration of medicines as well as procedures of clinical trials and decision making process about the registration are not transparent.
The educational programs in high school do not use the modern electonical sources of information such Pubmed, Cochrain, NICE, BNF and others.
Many public health specialists do not use computer, internet , CD or other sources of information. Post -graduation education does not provide the possibility to obtain new skills in computer/internet still.
In spite of the adopted National Medicine Policy (MOH RM №1352-XV from 03.10.2003: 4.4; 4,6) the Professional Associations and Non-for- profit, non-governmental organizations working in public health are not involved in the formulation, adaptation and discussion of the decision process about the current medicine policy.
Pharmaceutical and informational support to the patient with socially-significant diseases (especially diabetes) appears in incomplete volume.
In Moldova there is the absence of the control system on the promotion of the food supplements to consumers and accompanying, correct, corresponding to the law on protection of the consumer’s rights information.
The Conference calls to:
To develop concrete, detailed program on AMR with all stakeholders as from governmental organizations as well from non-governmental, professional medical, pharmaceutical organizations, agriculture/ veterinary structures and Church-related institutions.
In the ordering medicines to take into account the amount of pediatrics dosages and formulations for children , especially with social diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS.
International Organizations that assist countries with medicines supply such as Global fund for TB. AIDS and Malaria , UNICEF to take into account and to include in the plan of drug supply pediatrics medicines.
To activate the work in the computerization of the pharmaceutical service, especially in the social important diseases such as diabetes, TB and other.
Standard treatment Guidelines develop and adopt with wide range of medical and pharmacy specialists.
To determine conceptual new ways of the collaboration between physicians, pharmacists and other specialists of public health.
To continue the collaboration between governmental and non-governmental organizations in the rational and safe use of medicines in the framework of partnership of CoRSUM.

Originally appeared in two parts on NewMusicBox.org (part 1, part 2), the web magazine for NewMusicUSA. Full text below.
Why did you start writing music? Now, what do you hope to accomplish? This year? This decade? By the end of your life?
In response to these questions, you might envision your music’s success according to a variety of measures:
The awards, press, and publicity it receives
The size of audiences it attracts
The money it makes
The joy you had in creating it
The degree to which it meets a performer’s need or fits their skill level
The experience shared by those in the room when it is performed
The appraisal of your colleagues and other connoisseurs
The social impact it has
Given your creativity, I’m sure you can come up with dozens of other metrics (and I’d be curious to hear them).
But it should be obvious that rarely, if ever, does a piece of music succeed across all these dimensions. Whenever we create music—whatever kind of music we write—we create something that is, at least in a few dimensions, unremarkable. Because individuals and groups value these various dimensions differently, no piece of music can be universal in its appeal or usefulness. Even Bach can be considered an also-ran by many people in many contexts. Thus, it is not intellectually or socially honest to ask, “Is Piece A better than Piece B?” without being able to identify the terms of comparison and explain why those terms matter.
It may seem sacrilegious to suggest that our prized repertoire is not inherently more worthy than other music. It may further seem counterintuitive to consider that the uninteresting and mediocre, or even the lackluster and substandard, may help us achieve our goals better than our lodestars—not just as cautionary tales but as exemplars themselves.
What does unremarkable music have to teach us about achieving our goals?
On a social level, we all share a fundamental need for validation and belonging. Though some composers may be content to write for themselves, most of us write music because we want to connect with those around us. Regardless of whether we get paid, a large part of what we do constitutes a gift to our collaborators and communities. We hope our music may inspire, challenge, stimulate, touch, or delight those who hear it. When that gift is poorly received or rejected, it stings.
This sting can be all the worse because many of us hold ideals of meritocracy and social justice. We believe that the good and the marginalized should have at least an equal seat at the table as the powerful and the privileged. Further, we want to believe that our music has merit. When that merit is ignored—particularly because of structural discrimination—we feel a righteous sense of injustice.
But from what table does that injustice exclude you? And from what power? Indeed, to whose aesthetic values are you trying to appeal? Or whose opinions are you trying to influence?
Often, our success as composers is only loosely based on how good our music is. And as inarguable as the benefits of power and privilege may be, they hardly constitute the only way to create and sustain communities. Further, the powerful and the praised are not the only communities worth serving or creating. (On these points, see also Elliot Cole’s article “Questions I Ask Myself.”)
This, then, is what unremarkable music can teach us socially: our success as composers, however you want to measure it, reflects most strongly the quality of the relationships that our music fosters. As humanity’s most ephemeral artifact, music may catalyze these relationships, but it cannot constitute their substance. Inasmuch as your music enables you to make others feel seen, treasured, cared for, and empowered, it can be said to be doing its job.
We are not fundamentally composers: we are human beings who use music to love others.
Likewise, other people are not fundamentally our audience: they are human beings with a rich capacity to receive and reciprocate that love.
Whenever we connect with other people through our music, it constitutes only a part of the whole relationship. Even our ties to the so-called “great composers” have just as much, if not more, to do with the myths and institutions built around them as they do with their music. Why, then, do we insist that our professional status must stand or fall primarily on our scores and recordings? You would never communicate with your mother only via sheet music. So, too, we can only fully cultivate our professional impact through the stories we tell, the meals we share, the conversations we have, the memories we make, and so on.
It should be obvious that you don’t have to be stereotypically successful to do this. Anyone—the 17-year-old YouTuber, the part-time production music composer, the obscure grad student, the band teacher from Montana—can make an impact through these means.
Still, when that impact goes viral, it can leave some observers bemused, jealous, or defensive—an honest reaction, inasmuch as its roots go deeper than common pettiness. These roots tap into the implicit messages behind certain measures of success, messages about which relationships matter more than others. For many of us, it requires a great struggle to uproot our uncritical embrace of these values. Does the New York Philharmonic and its milieu truly matter more than the seventh graders of the Springfield Middle School Band and their families? Is the only route to financial security truly through becoming an A-list Hollywood composer?
Yes, attaining such stereotypical success through “remarkable” music will constitute impact and bring influence, and these are not unworthy goals. Yet unremarkable music can be subversive and transformative in ways that music of “merit” cannot achieve. Think of punk rock. Think, too, of educational and film music. Despite all the flack that these genres receive in some quarters, many of us became composers because we loved John Williams’s Star Wars scores or Eric Whitacre’s choral works. That these examples are wildly successful in some spheres but disparaged in others serves only to underscore my point: whose opinion matters?
This disconnect between impact and merit brings to mind the common aphorism, “One person’s trash is another’s treasure.” It, in turn, resonates with a “philosophical conundrum” in ethics that Agnes Callard explains in a recent essay:
Morality requires we maintain a safety net at the bottom that catches everyone—the alternative is simply inhumane—but we also need an aspirational target at the top, so as to inspire us to excellence, creativity, and accomplishment. In other words, we need worth to come for free, and we also need it to be acquirable. And no philosopher—not Kant, not Aristotle, not Nietzsche, not I—has yet figured out how to construct a moral theory that allows us to say both of those things.
To this conundrum in music, I propose an answer akin to Captain Kirk’s solution to the Kobayashi Maru: Sidestep the issue. Rig the test. Embrace what is unremarkable about your music. Cherish it. Prize it. Stop trying to be all things to all people. Stop trying to convince the haters.
This isn’t to say we should stop fighting for a more perfect world (never!). Still, in this present, imperfect world on a Tuesday afternoon, to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, “there are alternatives to fighting.”
Part 2 of this article will show how some of those alternatives emerge from identifying why unremarkable music bothers us personally.
In Part 1 of this article, I surveyed some common measures of success in music and discussed some observations on a social level of what music that doesn’t meet these measures might teach us. I proposed that one way to deal with these issues is to sidestep them—to embrace what is unremarkable about your music as an alternative to fighting the system. In Part 2, after examining unremarkable music from a personal level, I will argue that embracing the unremarkable in your music may empower you to achieve your goals.
Many of us have feelings about what is true, beautiful, or good in music which match the fervor most people hold only for politics or religion. I know I have on occasion felt viscerally offended by “bad” music.
Soberly considered, such reactions make no sense. It’s just sound. But it would be unwise to stifle your “musical conscience” on that account. That muse lives to remind you of your deepest musical values and messages. Perhaps ironically, identifying and owning your “musical conscience” is what allows you to embrace what is unremarkable in your own music—because it affirms that the unremarkableness of these features is not salient to the truth, goodness, and beauty you have to share.
But honoring your musical conscience can be challenging when surrounded by other artists, each with their own strong feelings and compelling visions. Even if you admire them, it is crucial to recognize that when other artists lambaste certain music—whether it’s by John Cage, Lennon, or Mackey or Joan Baez, Tower, or La Barbara—those strong feelings do not come from a place of “I am a dispassionate, knowledgeable observer whose opinions are objectively true.”
For the compliant and sensitive among us, this lesson would have been especially useful before college and grad school.
True, as my teacher Murray Boren put it, “attending school is an admission of ignorance.” Every undergraduate composer has skills they must learn and unfamiliar repertoire they should experience. We need these skills and experiences to help us grow and refine both our musical consciences and our ability to articulate their messages.
Unfortunately, though our professors did have plenty to teach us, we generally were not experienced enough to distinguish their wisdom from their opinions. In academia, as in all musical subcultures, we learn that “people like us do things like this,” as Seth Godin puts it. By no coincidence then, the music that academia generally prizes as “remarkable” sounds a lot like the music that academia generally writes.
As a consequence of this dynamic, our training often unintentionally (though in some shameful cases quite intentionally) delivered the message, “Your music is existentially not good enough.” (“People like us DON’T do things like that!”) Indeed, a colleague of mine once quipped that the professorial feedback he received in a composition seminar amounted to “The problem with your piece is that you’re writing the wrong piece.”
David Rakowski’s “buttstix” catalogs the kind of neurotic and narrow-minded expectations too many of us heard and internalized during our time as students. For those who have yet to attempt it, it is an empowering exercise to exorcise your own list of “shoulds.”
For my part, I internalized that good music “should”:
use extended techniques and extreme registers
look rhythmically and texturally intricate
require virtuosic players, in both their technical dexterity and their musicianship and ensemble skills
avoid tonal and metrical references and focus on timbre and gesture
(or conversely) embrace the intersection of indie rock and post-minimalism
push aesthetic, technical, and disciplinary boundaries
not repeat itself within or between pieces
create new forms and systems for each piece
be obscure in its emotions and evasive about its extramusical connotations
dismiss or transcend culture-specific musical symbols or topics
have a sound intellectual justification for its pre-compositional plan or its compositional structures
be itself virtuosic in requiring exceptionally long hours, decades of study, and arcane technical skills to create (anything easy or instinctive is dismissible or, at least, suspect)
Now, none of this aesthetic agenda is problematic in itself. In fact, it describes a lot of music I admire by many colleagues whom I deeply respect. Aspects of it even describe things I value in my own music. But this agenda has the same relationship to my musical conscience as Amy Sherald’s portrait has to the real Michelle Obama. Sherald’s painting may capture one essential facet of Obama, but no painting can ever capture her living whole. Likewise, when I pressure myself to conform to those dead expectations, I cut myself off from my living musical truth.
The despondency and insecurity that comes from being cut off from your musical truth is the emotional counterpart to being offended by bad music. In both cases, your musical conscience is telling you, “You do not belong here.”
It is further calling you: not to a wholesale rejection of your colleagues’ and mentors’ opinions, but to greater discernment and integrity of your own. To say with confidence, “This is what matters to me musically. By these features, I know in my gut I have succeeded in speaking my truth. Accordingly, I trust the value of what I have to share—that some people will treasure it, even though others will find it unremarkable.”
Recently, a composer friend and I attended the concert of a famous cellist. At the intermission, we were relieved to discover we both felt he was overhyped. Yes, his renditions of the solo cello literature were good—but no more so than any top cellist from any world-class conservatory. It was only at the end when he played his self-arranged encore that, for the first time, the music felt honest. At that moment, it became clear, “This is what people hear in your playing.”
For me, this recital was a prime example of the power of unremarkable music. It helped bring into focus the thoughts and feelings I have had while slowly emerging these past six months from my post-dissertation, post-graduation haze. From this example, as I have pondered what I want to accomplish musically and how my music can make a difference, I realized two things:
First, “I am not yet as good of a composer as I hope to be”—that part was already obvious, but it was the next part that was liberating—“but I am already a far better composer than I need to be.”
Second, “I already have all the compositional chops I need to make an impact in music.”
My unremarkable music is good enough to matter. It’s potent enough to form communities, to influence lives, and even potentially to make a living. And so is yours.

How can you tell when someone is a good reader? What do teachers look for when they are trying to understand how well someone reads? Asking students this question helps begin to unpack and demystify the reading process, say researchers from the Strategic Literacy Initiative (SLI) at WestEd, the federal regional educational laboratory in San Francisco. Not everyone realizes how

Literacy Evolves in a Community of Practice
When student projects culminate with an artistic performance, says Brown education professor Eileen Landay, they set in motion a “community of practice” that opens students up to learning, as her diagram below shows. As they build skills in repeated rehearsals, she said, they regulate their own behavior; and the feedback they get has an obvious, logical purpose. “It creates a

Data sheet: Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar (Flektogon) 20 mm f/2.8
The table below summarizes the lens’ key specifications (measurements based on pictured sample):
Brand: Carl Zeiss Jena Lens name Prakticar 1:2.8 f=20mm MC
Focal length(s)1 20 mm Angle-of-view2 94 °
Lens mounts Praktica B Subfamily (if applicable) ––
Aperture blades (S/R/C)5 6 S Focus throw 270 °
Minimum focusing distance 19 cms Maximum magnification 1:7,4
• Prakticar is the name given to all Carl Zeiss Jena and Pentacon (and many other) lenses designed for the Praktica B mount. Hence, while the lens’ name ring says Prakticar, the lens is a member of the Flektogon family and is optically identical to the 20 mm f/2.8 Flektogon in M42 mount.
• Alike all Praktica B mount lenses, this lens has three electronic contacts that it uses to communicate selected aperture to the camera body and a physical aperture stop-down lever.
• The 20/2.8 Prakticar(Flektogon) is the last new development that Carl Zeiss Jena offered in the Flektogon family. While it is by no means an especially bulky lens, it still has the overall – broadening towards the front – design of early ultra-wide angles.
History of Carl Zeiss Jena
There are few names in camera optics more illustrious than that of Carl Zeiss. The company was founded in the German town of Jena in 1846 by Carl Zeiß (hence: ‘Carl Zeiss Jena‘). During 1846–1945 there are few major developments in lens optics that the company was not involved in. Names that are even today well-known in optics – such as Planar (1896), Tessar (1902), Sonnar (1929), and Biotar (1939) (as well as many names that only optics-buffs know) – were the product of Zeiss’ first century of technological innovation.
After the Second World War Germany was divided into a Soviet zone (subsequently: East Germany) and the west-allied zones (subsequently: West Germany). While the Zeiss works resided in Jena (optics and glasses) and Dresden (cameras), which were in the Soviet sector, a contingent of Zeiss managers decided to move west and ended up setiting up shop in the small town of Oberkochen in the American sector under the name of Opton Optische Werke Oberkochen GmbH. As the relations between the former allied deteriorated and the split into East and West Germany became all the more real, the Oberkochen works changed their name first to Zeiss-Opton and later to Carl Zeiss.
What ensued was a lengthy international trademark dispute with both Zeiss’ (Jena and Oberkochen) laying claim to the name ‘Carl Zeiss’. The resulting stalemate – emblematic of the Cold War in its entirety – resulted in that Carl Zeiss Opton was allowed to use the name Carl Zeiss in the West, but had to use the Opton brand in the East bloc, whereas Carl Zeiss Jena was the only real Carl Zeiss as far as the east bloc was concerned, but could – mostly – not use the Carl Zeiss -name for exports to the West6. The fact remains however, that – starting in 1946 from a shared base – Jena and Oberkochen developed as two independent companies for more than 40 years. After German reunification also Zeiss East and Zeiss West were united again, and have since again been at the undoubtable forefront of lens development.
This lens harkens to the time of the cold-war and the East/West split. During the entire Cold War period, VEB Carl Zeiss Jena was seen by the country’s leadership both as a paragon of the East German technology industry and a showcase of the socialist/communist system as well as a major source of exports (and hence, western currencies). Within the centrally directed economy’s hierarchy, Carl Zeiss Jena therefore had a more prestigious role than other East German optics manufacturers (prominently Meyer-Optik Görlitz and, later, Pentacon), meaning that Carl Zeiss Jena received privileged access to tools and materiel (including the first computer in East Germany) and that its products were always considered the premium alternative.
History of the Flektogon designs
Carl Zeiss Jena was a central player in the development of a class of lenses today known as retro focus lenses (a.k.a. reversed tele focus) – a key approach to allowing the manufacture of wide-angle SLR lenses. While the jury is out on whether Angenieux (France) or Carl Zeiss Jena actually was the first company to bring the concept into production, it is evident that Carl Zeiss Jena was both genuinely innovative and prolific in this niche.
The ‘family name’ of Carl Zeiss Jena’s retro focus wide-angle lenses was ‘Flektogon’ (Carl Zeiss West called its corresponding family ‘Distagon’). The Flektogon family contained lenses with focal lengths of 20, 25 and 35 mm (for 135 film) and 50 and 65 mm (for 6×6 medium format).
• The 20 mm f/4 Flektogon (introduced 1961, manufactured 1961–1975) was on its introduction the widest angle rectilinear retro focus lens ever produced. It was mass-produced in Exakta and M42 mounts as well as in small batches for other mounts such as the Praktina
• It was replaced 1975 by the 20 mm f/2.8 Flektogon, which was only introduced for the M42 mount. This lens remained in production until the reunification of the two Germanys.
• After the 1978 introduction of the Praktica bayonet cameras, a version of the 20 mm f/2.8 Flektogon was made for Praktica B-mount and sold under the name Prakticar 20 mm f/2.8 (This lens). That lens is optically identical to the M42 version.
During the production run of this lens, no significant variants were designed.
This lens cannot be used natively on any current SLR or dSLRs. To use it in its native environment, you will need a Praktica B mount film body. Luckily there are a lot of those available, and many of them are still in perfect working order.
Thanks to being a fully manual lens (manual aperture, manual focus), the lens can be adapted to all mirrorless cameras using a suitable adapter. Moreover, Praktica B lenses are so uncomplicated that a simple ‘dumb adapter’ will do the job perfectly (The electronic contacts communicate only from the lens to the camera and do not impinge on adapting). However, due to that the Praktica B mount never was so successful, one should not expect special adapters (helicoid adapters, tilt/shift adapters) to be easily available. Alternatively, one can choose to daisy-chain adapters (e.g. Praktica B->Canon EF; Canon EF –> mirrorless) which not only opens up possibilities for special adapters, but also allows using speed boosters for those photographers that use smaller than full-frame sensors.
Using Praktica B lenses on dSLRs can also be an easy option, depending on which dSLR.
• Canon EF has the shortest flange focal distance among full-frame dSLR’s and Canon’s wide range of dSLRs are able to mount Praktica B lenses perfectly using a suitable adapter ring.
• With other dSLR mounts (Minolta/Sony A; Pentax K; Nikon F) the relationship between flange focal differences becomes an issue, leading to that adapting will necessitate an adapter that uses corrective optics to allow reaching infinity focus
2 Picture angle is given in degrees (based on manufacturers’ specs) and concerns the diagonal picture angle. Rule of thumb:
6 Online one can find many lengthy and heated disputes stating that only Jena/Oberkochen is the true Carl Zeiss. While many of these discussions are riddled with misconceptions and a poor grasp of facts and timings, they largely also tend to be tainted by ideologies. Those discussions that focus on claims of one or the other Zeiss not really having rights to using designs developed at pre-war Zeiss are especially ludicrous because after the war practically the entire patent catalogue of pre-war German patents was given freely to everyone (the allied saw this as a form of reparations), hence also kickstarting the Japanese optics industry’s ascendancy (the Japanese optics companies were the most avid users of German optics patents).

Insolvency of Significant Non-Financial Enterprises: What Can We Learn from Bank Failures and Bank Resolution?
by Editor | posted in: Bankruptcy Reform, Bankruptcy Roundtable Updates, International and Comparative | 0
By Ilya Kokorin, Leiden Law School (The Netherlands)
The current economic downturn triggered by the spread of COVID-19 demonstrates that the role of insolvency law should not be restricted to resolving conflicts between private parties (i.e. creditors and debtors). Nevertheless, the very framework of insolvency law remains primarily: (i) microprudential – single entity focused and designed to protect individual debtors and their creditors, (ii) contractarian – implementing the idea of creditors’ bargain and solving coordination problems between creditors of a single entity, and (iii) reactive – centred around post-crisis liquidation of assets and allocation of proceeds among creditors. It may therefore be ill-fitted to serve the public interest in mitigating the negative externalities of large-scale (systemic) corporate debacles (e.g. Chrysler, GM, British Steel, Carillion) or handling the economy-wide instability experienced nowadays.
In contrast to corporate insolvency, in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008 (GFC), bank resolution in the European Union (EU) and the USA went through fundamental changes that seek to preserve financial stability and ensure continuity of critical functions. Bank resolution has increasingly embraced the macroprudential vision, recognizing the need for an advanced preparation and a speedy intervention to ensure continuity of critical functions, preservation of financial stability and avoidance of bailouts. This vision has resulted in the specific proactive and reactive recovery and resolution strategies. In the recent paper Insolvency of Significant Non-Financial Enterprises: Lessons from Bank Failures and Bank Resolution, I explore whether the modern approaches to bank crises can be extended to non-financial enterprises. I discuss how insolvency law might help minimize social harm stemming from wide-ranging shocks and grand-scale business failures and suggest what we can learn from bank failures and bank resolution.
The failure of Carillion, once the UK’s second-largest construction company, has shown that the reactive approach to crisis resolution, centred around post-crisis intervention, posed significant risks not only for creditors but also for other stakeholders and communities at large. Carillion had around 43,000 workers, of whom 19,000 were based in the UK. It owed around GBP 2 billion to the extensive network of 30,000 suppliers, sub-contractors and other creditors and left the pension liability exceeding GBP 2.5 billion. Even though the signs of financial distress appeared long before Carillion filed for liquidation in January 2018, these warning signals were largely ignored. The failure of Carillion had substantial implications for the provision of public services, raising environmental, health and safety concerns. It ultimately led to a state intervention backed by taxpayers’ money. However, the actual economic and social cost of Carillion’s insolvency are hard to quantify. Financial distress of such a significant enterprise (significant non-financial enterprise or SNFE) required timely state intervention. Nevertheless, its multiple profit warnings came as a surprise to the Cabinet Office.
Insolvency of Carillion was characterized by the absence of timely reaction to prevent crisis escalation, a genuine threat of public disruption and a vast complexity determined by both the debtor’s organizational structure, consisting of more than 320 group members, and the nature of its activities. Many of the same features were observed in the failure of banks and banking groups during the GFC. As a response, both the EU (BRRD) and the USA (Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act) have embraced a proactive and precautionary approach focused on preparation and early response. In my paper, I use the case of Carillion to inquire whether selected bank recovery and resolution tools could have been adopted to prevent the collapse of Carillion, or to mitigate its negative consequences.
In particular, I analyse three such tools, namely: (i) intervention powers granted to state authorities for early (preventive) reaction to the escalation of financial problems before the actual insolvency, (ii) entity and group recovery and resolution planning, and (iii) administrative-led insolvency process. I conclude that while the first two mechanisms may prove beneficial, the last one is rather controversial. While an administrative-led process has certain advantages and prevails in bank resolution, it may be difficult and unnecessary to replicate or transpose to non-financial enterprises. Instead, a transparent court-supervised process with active involvement of creditors and debtors, as well as a limited and targeted engagement of public authorities on matters of public interest should be encouraged.

CheapCaribbean Expanding to Cuba
A major travel player is coming to Cuba.
Online travel booking site CheapCaribbean.com has announced plans to begin offering eight-day tours to Cuba beginning in early 2016.
The nine tours, all of which will be operated by Cuba tour operator Cuba Travel Services, will start at $5,500 per person including accommodations, meals and air/ground transportation.
Tours are set to operate from February 2016 to October 2016.
The package will include one night in Miami, followed by four days in Havana and the remainder in Cuba’s resort hub of Varadero.
The company said it would include trips to historic sites and particularly art destinations, from a community art project in Jaimanitas by noted artist Jose Fuster to interactions with local musicians and dancers in Havana, among other interactive stops.
“Rich in history, varied landscape and vibrant culture, Cuba is ripe for exploration,” said Steve Dumaine, president & CEO of CheapCaribbean.com. “The country is on the cusp of an economical comeback, and we’re excited to offer U.S. travelers the opportunity to discover and explore this beautiful island in its 1950s freeze-frame.”
While pure tourist travel to Cuba remains illegal for US travelers, there are 12 exemptions, including trips for people-to-people travel.

The Fist Is Mightier Than The Apology Video
Andy Fischer Wright
Though it is nearly impossible to objectively judge the quantitative effects of a YouTube video, one of the most socially impactful American videos of 2018 was published on New Year's Day. Lifestyle vlogger Logan Paul's "We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest..." immediately spread beyond Paul's subscribers and even the limitations of the platform itself. Just over one year later, Paul's brand is doing better than ever with over 18.7 million subscribers and a rapidly expanding podcast. To find how he has structured such an effective redemption, we need to look to the complicated history of combat sports and redemption.
The day before Logan Paul made a return to daily vlogging last February (timeline here), British YouTuber Olajide "KSI" Olatunji publicly challenged Paul to a boxing match. Paul immediately grabbed onto the concept of training for a fight and ran with it, going on to equate his negative publicity with "a punch in the face" and to call working out and character redemption "the same thing" in his end of year review (the longest clip in my video.) Using the fight as an impetus, Paul changed his own situational identity from 'controversial YouTuber' to 'boxer who vlogs,' a dangerous act of micro-celebrity skin-shedding.
Paul is able to achieve this effect thanks to the "reliable uniformity of self-presentation" afforded him by vlogs (Marwick 195). Following the precedent of “transmedia [projects] that [bridge] live sports television with reality television" set by shows like The Ultimate Fighter (McClearen 3229), Paul's style of vlogging creates a world where he is authentic in practice as well as in body; the well-trained body is more visibly important in his improvement than any change in attitude. Paul's relentless self-promotion as a "boy from Ohio" further takes advantage of the trend for white athletes to have their “past... reframed as one of ‘mistakes,' as ‘checkered,' where he ‘fell short,' where he ‘fell off,' and one where ‘immaturity’ caused problems” (Leonard 148). This is a classic example of what David Leonard calls "#BeingRedeemedWhileWhite", reinforced by Paul's general disdain for his black opponent (158).
Using Logan Paul as a case study, it is clear that using micro-celebrity practices combined with athletics as a false path to moral redemption is now a possibility on the table for young YouTubers. In this age of male celebrities recognized for their attrocities simply apologizing and waiting out the clock before attempting a comeback, it is necessary to be cognizant of this more active and accelerated route.

David Cay Johnston: As Jeff Sessions Scandal Brews, We Need a Public Probe of Trump’s Ties to Russia
The Trump administration is facing a new scandal as the Justice Department has acknowledged Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States. This contradicts sworn testimony Sessions gave to Congress.
Show transcript links:
The Trump administration is facing a new scandal as the Justice Department has acknowledged Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States. This contradicts sworn testimony Sessions gave to Congress. During his confirmation hearing in January, then-Senator Sessions was asked by Minnesota Senator Al Franken whether he knew of contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russia’s government. Sessions replied, “I did not have communications with the Russians.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday accused Sessions of “apparent perjury” and said in a statement, “Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign.” Earlier today, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Jason Chaffetz called on Sessions to recuse himself from a Justice Department probe into alleged ties between Trump campaign officials and Russia’s government.
Billionaire Wilbur Ross Confirmed Despite Questions over Ties to Russian Oligarchs Close to Putin
The New York Times reports that the Obama administration scrambled during its final days in office to preserve evidence of Russia’s collusion with the Trump campaign. Citing unnamed former officials, the Times says Obama’s aides left a “trail of evidence” across different government agencies to prevent the incoming Trump administration from covering up or destroying evidence. James Henry talks about his latest piece, “Wilbur Ross Comes to D.C. With an Unexamined History of Russian Connections.”

Covington will continue to recycle paper
TOPICS:curbsideKentuckyRumpke
Posted By: Ken McEntee May 16, 2019
Earlier this week, the city of Lexington, Ky. announced a suspension of its paper recycling program. About 90 miles away, the city of Covington, Ky. – just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, emphasized today that it will continue to recycle.
“Covington residents should continue recycling paper products and residents should rest assured that those products and others are going to mills to be broken down and reused – not dumped into landfills,” the city said in an announcement.
The city contracts with Rumpke Waste & Recycling for curbside collection.
Lexington said that it would no longer recycle paper and paper products from Lexington and 12 nearby cities and counties, joining a list of local governments across the country that have suspended recycling operations in response to the decision by China to limit its purchase of recyclables.
Disturbed by the Lexington development, Sheila Fields, Covington’s solid waste and recycling coordinator checked with Rumpke and said that the response was “quick and reassuring. Recycling is continuing here without interruption. We aren’t altering our acceptable items list,” Fields said she was told.
Coincidentally, Fields said, Rumpke sent a letter a few weeks ago assuring Covington officials that all recycling material collected here was being sent to an end user. The letter was prompted by reports that some recyclers were being forced by the loss of the Chinese market to dump the collected material into landfills.
In fact, Rumpke felt so strongly about the issue that it released a YouTube video – shown below – explaining its operations. In the video, Steve Sargent, Rumpke’s director of recycling, says that the company is exporting only 2 percent of its recyclables, and has found domestic markets for 98 percent of its material in the Midwest U.S.
“The message for residents in Covington is one of confidence,” Fields said. “They should know that when they do their part to reduce the flow of garbage into landfills, the system works.”
Fields said Covington residents recycled 178.1 tons of paper, plastic and metal in March of this year. The number of recycling “accounts” is 1,050 higher than it was three years ago.

Community to NEB Kinder Morgan Hearings: Permission DENIED
Kiera Porisky and Eric Lescarbeau
Kicking off ten days of protests, climate activists served the National Energy Board yesterday at its Vancouver offices with a people’s injunction against the Kinder Morgan pipeline review process to chants of “NEB and Trudeau, Kinder Morgan we say NO!” Hearings are set to continue from January 19 to 29 in Burnaby and will be met with staunch resistance from a coalition of indigenous, environmental, community and student activists and organizations.
Coming out of the Paris Climate talks hopes had been high that Trudeau’s Liberal government would live up to their elections promises and take meaningful action to meet their commitment to capping global temperature increases at 1.5 degrees Celsius. Initially it seemed that they were when they announced a ban on tanker traffic on BC’s north coast, effectively killing Enbridge’s widely unpopular Northern Gateway pipeline. However, Trudeau also made clear during his election campaign his support for Kinder Morgan as long as it was “done right.”
Trudeau's oily ways
Last August, at a campaign event in Victoria, Trudeau was directly asked by Kai Nagata of Dogwood Initiative, a local environmental non-profit organization, “Does your NEB overhaul apply to Kinder Morgan?” Trudeau assuredly replied “Yes. Yes, it applies to existing projects, pipelines included.” This was to include consideration of impact on climate change and expanded community input, especially of First Nations communities. But we have yet to see any evidence of these changes.
While the Liberal government openly acknowledges the flawed review process introduced by Harper in 2013, they are continuing to use it to approve risky pipelines projects. Not only is this unchanged process being applied to the Kinder Morgan expansion but to TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline as well. This clear act of choosing oil company profits over the environment, over consent from and a blossoming relationship with First Nations in Canada, and over the trust of ordinary people, shows all too clearly what the Trudeau government values and what it is willing to lose.
Shortly after his appointment as Natural Resources Minister in November, Jim Carr backed away from Trudeau’s commitment stating that the review process would continue while they worked on instituting changes. The main concern for Carr is not the climate but a global crisis of overproduction in oil and carbon based energy sources that has driven prices into the ground and threatened the viability of high cost Tar Sands producers. Carr made clear that the purpose of revamping the review process is to remove the “dirty oil” tag and ensure a market for Tar Sands oil while softening support for the anti-pipeline movement. “Ultimately we are faced with the challenge of assuring our markets, our customers and our citizens that the assessment process factors in everything one ought to consider important as we develop our resources sustainably.”
Carr and Trudeau have never publicly entertained even the possibility that the review process could reject the Trans Mountain pipeline, so whether these changes are made before, during or after the review seems to make little difference to the outcome in their minds. On Monday, Carr expressed the Liberal government’s support for expanding pipeline capacity and told reporters, “There has to be public confidence in the regulatory process if we are going to sustain the movement of these resources to tidewater."
Yet despite their “sunny ways” the Liberals have failed to gain “social license” to build pipelines because of the courageous opposition from First Nations and mass mobilizations like the Global Climate March at the end of November and the weeks-long protests/mass civil disobedience on Burnaby Mountain in 2014.
People's injunction
Inspired by the words of Trudeau himself “Ultimately governments grant permits, but only communities grant permission”, the people's injunction states that the Liberal Government does not have permission to proceed with Kinder Morgan expansion:
“The following is considered sufficient evidence for this people’s injunction:
1. The National Energy Board’s failure to consider the contribution this pipeline will have on climate change, despite Canada’s endorsement of a 1.5C limit to global temperature rise at the COP21 this December.
2. The National Energy Board’s failure to uphold the provincial and federal government’s duty to meaningfully consult with First Nations communities, despite Canada’s commitment to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, which requires, free, prior and informed consent.
3. The National Energy Board’s failure to meaningfully consult with communities and respect their right to reject projects which endanger their homes, livelihood, and the future livability of our planet.
4. The National Energy Board’s failure to consider evidence of upstream and downstream socio-economic and environmental impacts; including tanker traffic beyond 12 nautical miles, existing storage tanks and infrastructure, and greenhouse gas emissions and water contamination.
This injunction was presented in actions at NEB offices across the country over the last week. In an open letter to Trudeau, Cam Fenton, national Tar Sands Campaigner for 350 put it clearly: “If you will not show the necessary leadership to stop these reviews, people will.”
Another letter published by three First Nations assemblies across Canada last week made clear that Trudeau’s promises to rebuild the government’s relationship with First Nations was also at stake. “Our First Nations in British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec call for the establishment of a new pipeline review and assessment process, to be developed and implemented in collaboration with First Nations that will enable a thorough and objective environmental assessment of these pipelines.”
After Paris it is clear that the only realistic alternative to climate destruction lies not in the polished rhetoric of politicians like Trudeau but in the unity of the Indigenous and climate justice movements. Some in the movement have questioned the value of fighting over the review process given that it seems predestined to approve every pipeline. But by arguing for a truly inclusive review process grounded in science and respect for indigenous peoples, the climate justice movement exposes the hypocrisy of the Trudeau government and demonstrates for all that ordinary working class people have the ability to make a just, sustainable and truly democratic society that puts people and the planet before profits.
The next step in building this alternative will be this Saturday, January 23rd at the mass “STOP Kinder Morgan Rally” at the Burnaby Delta Hotel and Convention Centre at 1pm. A daily vigil will also be maintained outside the hearings. You can follow updates on the NEB hearings and climate actions via Twitter @dogwoodbc or via the Dogwood Initiative’s Facebook page

< Part Four
1910. Robert Southey to Charles Danvers, 23 April 1811
1910. Robert Southey to Charles Danvers, 23 April 1811 *
My dear Charles
I heard of Mr T Southeys death from my Aunt two or three days ago. [1] Oliver [2] has not all the property, a good portion is gone to his man Tom. [3] It was always my opinion that he would leave most of what he had to the Olivers, with which <family> he has been on the closest terms of card-playing intimacy ever since I can recollect. The person in question he knew much better than any of his nephews; & therefore I do not think him very unreasonable in preferring him to them. Of any injustice I fully acquit him. Had it had been an old family property the case would have <been> different, – it would then have been a wrong to those from whom he received it, & to those for whom he held it in trust, – but as it was the matter is very different. “John, says my Aunt, made himself a slave to get this trash, – he has made himself a fool to give it away.” – On our part he deserves no further <heavier> censure than this. But towards my Aunt his conduct has been cruel & unnatural to a degree which nothing but insanity can account for – unfortunately it is not that sort of insanity of which the law takes cognizance.
So Charles if xxxx <Lawyer> Nicholas [4] xxxxx should have commenced any proceedings against this poor soul in the Courts below on my account I enter a Noli prosequi [5] xxxxxx. He has done, I suspect, neither good nor evil in this world, & as for this, it is but an error of judgement, & Courts Martial allow that as an excuse, it ought surely to be a much fairer plea in case of <against> sentence of damnation.
I am sorry that our movements suit so ill with each other – & yet I cannot disarrange mine without more inconvenience than ought to be incurred. We shall start the last week in May or the first in June, be about a week on the road, – a month at Streatham & in London, – then to Bath to stay three days with Miss Barker, who is there with Sir Edward Littleton. Then to Bristol that Edith may see George & her sisters. [6] I have written to my Aunt pressing her to return with us, in which case I will leave Edith at Bristol & go to fetch her, visiting Poole by the way. She writes in great depression of spirits & I fear will hardly be prevailed upon to travel so far from her own country, tho I have promised to convoy her back when she is tired of this – if she tires of it. – We return thro Liverpool, but it will be late in July before we reach that place, & I heartily wish you may prevail on Dr. J. [7] to let you off.
It is the unmerciful extent of the Register [8] which has thus thrown me out of my plans. This is very inconvenient to me on many accounts. I am particularly vexed about Hort [9] – tell him I hope I shall see him next year, – & when I see him at Bristol I will tell him so myself.
No letter from Mr Smith. I fear he is almost past letter writing. [10] We must try elsewhere. The Xt hospital presentations of which you speak are very few in number, so few that it is hopeless to think of them. If the boy [11] were old enough the sea would be the surest way of providing for him.
I have been applied to to translate Lucien Buonaparte’s poem! [12]
God bless you. We are going on well, & I am far more delighted with the campaign in Portugal than I should have been had Mr T. S. left me the whole of his fortune.
Yrs very affectionately
R Southey.

A Developer-Friendly Operating System
Prev═
Chapter═15.═Tools
═Next
Unix has a long-established reputation as a good environment to develop under. It's well equipped with tools written by programmers for programmers. These automate away many of the grubby little tasks that would otherwise distract you from concentrating on the most important (and most enjoyable!) aspect of development— your design.
While all the tools you'll need are there and individually well documented, they're not knit together by an integrated development environment (IDE). Finding and assembling them into a kit that suits your needs has traditionally taken considerable═effort.
If you're used to a good IDE — the kind of GUI-driven combination of editor, configuration-manager, compiler, and debugger now common on Macintosh and Windows systems — the Unix approach may seem casual, murky, and primitive. But there's actually method in it.
IDEs make a lot of sense for single-language programming in a tool-poor environment. If what you're doing is confined to grinding out C or C++ code by hand and the yard, they're quite appropriate. Under Unix, however, your languages and implementation options are a lot more varied. It's common to use multiple code generators, custom configurators, and many other standard and custom tools.
IDEs do exist under Unix (there are several good open-source ones, including emulations of the major Macintosh and Windows IDEs). But it's difficult to control an open-ended variety of programming tools with them, and they're not much used. Unix encourages a more flexible style, one less exclusively centered on the edit/compile/debug loop.
In this chapter we introduce you to the tactics of development under Unix — building code, managing code configurations, profiling, debugging, and automating away a lot of the drudgery associated with these tasks so you can concentrate on the fun parts. As usual, the exposition focuses more on the architectural picture than the how-to details. When you want how-to details, most of the tools in this chapter are well described in Programming with GNU Software [Loukides-Oram].
Many of these tools automate things that you could do yourself by hand, albeit more slowly and with a higher error rate. The one-time cost of climbing the learning curve should be more than paid off by the ability to write programs more efficiently, and spend less attention on low-level details and more on design.
Unix programmers traditionally learn how to use these tools by osmosis from other programmers, and by exploration over a period of years. If you're a novice, pay careful attention; we're going to try to jump you over a big section of the Unix learning curve by showing you what is possible right at the outset. If you are an experienced Unix programmer in a hurry, you can skip this chapter — but maybe you shouldn't. There might just be some bit of useful lore here that even you don't know.

How much lithium will the world need? It depends who you ask
The metal's price has surged fivefold in the past year, reflecting mounting worries about availability
Mark Burton, Bloomberg
Mar 13, 2022 • March 13, 2022 • 4 minute read • 5 Comments
A worker assembles a battery on a VinFast production line in Hai Phong City, Vietnam.
Lithium’s vital role in electric-vehicle batteries means automakers, miners and investors are racing to figure out how much supply the world will need in the coming years — and also how much it’s going to get.
How much lithium will the world need? It depends who you ask Back to video
The problem is the predictions vary wildly.
The metal’s price has surged fivefold in the past year, reflecting mounting worries about availability. For years, batteries and EVs have become cheaper to make as the technology improved and production stepped up. But now there’s a risk that rising costs of raw materials — and lithium in particular — could hobble the transition just as momentum picks up.
The stakes are high for carmakers that are spending billions of dollars betting on a battery-powered future. Mining companies and governments are responding with ambitious plans to boost production. But demand is growing at such a breathtaking pace that it’s not clear whether it will be enough.
In a survey of six leading lithium forecasters, estimates for how the market will look in 2025 range from a deficit equal to 13 per cent of demand to a 17 per cent surplus. Projections for the market’s size diverge sharply too, with demand forecasts ranging from as little as 502,000 tons to as much as 1.3 million tons.
The gulf between forecasts reflects lithium’s status as a small market on the cusp of seismic expansion, with the average of the six estimates suggesting annual growth of more than 20 per cent for both supply and demand between 2021 and 2025. That compares with typical growth rates of 2-4 per cent in larger and mature markets like copper, where surpluses and deficits usually equal a fraction of demand.

In a further sign of how quickly the surge in EV sales is reshaping the lithium landscape, Citigroup Inc. on Wednesday almost doubled its price forecast for 2022, warning that an “extreme” rally will be needed to rein in booming demand.
Forecasts matter because banks use them for everything from gauging future car sales to valuing loans in mining projects. Vague market projections leave more room for sharp price swings when supply panic kicks in.
That could be particularly unnerving for the the car sector, which has placed lithium at the center of its electrification plans.
It has spent years experimenting with different chemical compounds to minimize use of other battery metals like cobalt — which is sometimes mined in unethical conditions — while boosting usage of abundant elements like iron. With lithium at the core of virtually every battery technology in commercial use and development, higher prices could quickly start to bite.
For example, if lithium spot prices remain at levels currently seen in China, that could add up to $1,000 to the cost of a new EV, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
Benchmark is among those forecasting supply to fall short of demand, even as it predicts output to roughly double from 2021 levels by 2025. Top lithium miners including Chile’s SQM reported annual demand growth of close to 50 per cent last year.
“There’s a complete overoptimism about the responsiveness of supply in the lithium market,” said Andrew Miller, chief operating officer at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. “It’s very hard to see how it’s going to accelerate at the speed that the battery market and electric vehicles are accelerating.”
So far, the auto industry has been relatively relaxed about lithium supplies, mainly because they occur in high concentrations in mining-friendly countries including Chile, Australia and Canada.
If anything, worries that large spikes in supply could quickly swamp the market is partly why some of the biggest miners have shunned developing lithium assets. Rio Tinto Group is the only mega-cap miner who’s so far been tempted to move into the metal — a market that’s still tiny compared with commodities like iron ore and copper.
History shows that even current heavyweight lithium miners like Ganfeng Lithium Co., Albemarle Corp., SQM and Livent Corp. should be cautious. A spike in prices a few years ago quickly unraveled as producers flooded the market. Some analysts warn it could happen again.
“We have some pretty open-ended supply opportunities opening up,” said Tom Price, an analyst at Liberum who started covering commodities in the early 1990s. “There are really no constraints on resource upgrades and additions for new supply.”
On the other hand, there are also good reasons why supply could lag.
The mining industry has a reputation for failing to deliver on targets, and McKinsey & Co. estimates that more than 80 per cent of projects come in late and over budget. Many assets being studied are owned by junior miners who don’t have as much experience or existing revenue streams to fall back on as the majors.
Environmental Hurdles
Even the biggest miners face obstacles to bringing on new supply because of environmental concerns, despite lithium being a key material for a greener world. Serbia last month put a stop to Rio Tinto’s plans for a $2.4 billion mine after a nationwide backlash over the potential environmental risks.
In Chile, home to the world’s largest lithium reserves, the mining industry is also running into stiff political headwinds.
But as compelling as the supply risks are, it’s the potential for huge demand growth that’s really behind the difference in opinions on whether lithium will be over or undersupplied.
While Bank of America Corp. is among the most optimistic on supply, it’s forecasting deep deficits once consumption is factored in.
“There’s an awful lot of tons that producers need to bring into the market,” said Michael Widmer, head of metals research at the bank in London. “We have a disconnect where on the demand side we’re pushing very hard, but on the supply side, miners are only just starting to commit.”

Time is running out for China batteries, says Trojan
16th of May 2012
The days of the cheap battery from China are numbered according to Trojan's EMEA sales director David Chambers.
He says recent scandals involving lead poisoning in children - and the Chinese Government's reaction in closing down battery factories - will have a major impact on that country's battery sales.
"Many companies have been buying batteries from China because they are cheap," said Chambers. "But China is coming to the end of its day."
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of lead for batteries, but over the past few years the Chinese government has closed down hundreds of battery factories following reports of lead poisoning in children living nearby. Excessive amounts of lead in the blood can cause damage to the digestive, nervous and reproductive systems and can also impair brain development in children.
Trojan offers a range of deep cycle flooded batteries that can be used to power cleaning machines. The company has recently expanded its range of sealed batteries, which Chambers claims to be a growing market.
According to Chambers although price matters to most customers, run-time tends to be the most important consideration when buying a battery.
"We are a premium brand at a premium price," said Chambers. "If it was all about price, then we wouldn't be in business."

Colon or Semicolon?

Semicolon examples
Using Colons and Semicolons
A quick and simple guide to using colons and semicolons
The semicolon (or semi-colon) is simply a break in a sentence that is stronger than a comma but not as final as a full stop.
By using the semicolon you can avoid overuse of the comma. Semicolons are especially useful for separating items in a list or linking two closely related statements.
To link sentences which are closely related
If you have two closely related sentences, then the semicolon can be used to highlight their relationship while also adding some variety to your writing. For example, instead of writing:
I watched that new film about Giraffes. I didn’t like it. / I watched that new film about Giraffes and I didn’t like it.
The semicolon can be used, linking the related sentences and keeping the punctuation more interesting for the reader. Hence:
I watched that new film about Giraffes; I didn’t like it.
Using semicolons with otherwise, however, therefore…
You can use the semicolon as a link in sentences that use connector words like otherwise, however and therefore. Technically known as conjunctive adverbs, there are other connector words that can also be used with the semicolon: accordingly, besides, consequently, hence, instead, moreover, nevertheless, thus. For example:
I did not catch the bus home; instead, I decided to walk.
(Note how the connecting word is followed by a comma.)
Jonny Thunder thought his new song was the band’s best yet; however, all the other band members disagreed.
Using the semicolon with lists
You can use the semicolon to separate the items in a list where a comma is already being used. Some of the examples below also use a colon as well as a semicolon.
The band members were: Jonny Thunder, lead guitar; Filthy Pedro, vocals; Nathan Kidd, drums; and Jack Beako, bass guitar.
The four venues will be: 12 Bar Club, London; Sidewalk Cafe, New York; Hot Club, Paris; and Whelans, Dublin.
The main reasons for touring by coach rather than train were: it would provide more privacy for sleeping, relaxing and partying; it would allow more equipment to be carried; it would cost less; and it would allow the band to bring more roadies along.

Is this sentence correct with a colon after “were”?
In my opinion, we can’t use a colon to introduce a list that is the complement of the object of a preposition.
Paula Konfara on August 16, 2018 at 7:02 pm said:
Your explanations are extremely helpful. In fact, I have been reading a lot of explanations lately and feel yours in comparison is easier to understand. I am still struggling a little with the mixture of commas, semicolons, and colons, as in Seleha’s example. Can you expound upon this a bit? Did I punctuate correctly?

Do I Need an Extreme Makeover? Why Do My Dental Crowns Look Fake?
The most common complaint associated with crowns is that they look "opaque," "lifeless," and "fake" compared to natural teeth. Do you need an expensive dental makeover to solve the problem? No!
The appearance of a crown is affected by many factors, but ultimately, the final result is determined by how the crown reacts with light. Natural teeth have a high degree of translucency, which means a certain amount of light passes through the tooth. The result of this is that the tooth appears to have depth and vitality.
Porcelain Dental Crowns With a Metal Substructure
Traditionally, crowns are made of two materials:
porcelain, which gives it the tooth-colored appearance
metal substructure, which gives the crown its strength
Generally, it is this type of crown that can appear opaque. The reason for this is that while porcelain is very translucent and lets light travel easily through it, no light can pass through the underlying metal. In order to prevent the metal color from showing through the porcelain, which would make the crown seem dark or gray, the metal has to be "masked out" with an opaquing material. It is this masking or opaquing that can affect the final appearance, giving rise to the opaque or lifeless look.
Do All Porcelain Crowns With a Metal Substructure Appear Lifeless?
The answer is no. One thing that can be done to improve the appearance is to remove the metal margin that goes around the crown. By keeping the metal inside the crown and having porcelain at the junction between the crown and the tooth, the "black line" appearance at the gum line can be eliminated, thereby increasing the translucency in this area. It also is necessary to have an adequate thickness of porcelain over the metal substructure. If the metal that has been masked out is too close to the outer surface of the crown, the appearance of depth is lost. What it mostly comes down to, however, is the skill level and artistry of the technician who is making the crown. When done correctly, porcelain crowns with a metal substructure can give you the best of both worlds without the expense of an extreme makeover. They can be made to exactly match your other teeth while still appearing lifelike, and since there is metal in it, they have increased strength.
Today, there are dental crowns available that do not require a metal substructure and are made of only porcelain. Depending on the specific type, they get their strength either from the bond to the remaining tooth structure or from a dense tooth colored substructure. Since there is no metal, these types of dental crowns allow more light to pass through, which enables them to have more depth and vitality, much like natural teeth. So why isn't this type of crown used all the time? The main reason is that they are not as strong as crowns with a metal substructure. So, if a person grinds their teeth, these crowns have a greater risk of fracture. Another reason why an all-ceramic dental crown cannot be used in all situations is if the underlying tooth structure itself is dark. Very dark teeth are difficult to mask with these types of crowns because of their translucency. In these instances, the dark color may show through the crown. So, for situations where a lot of force will be placed on the teeth (such as grinding habits) or if a tooth is really dark, a well-made porcelain crown with a metal substructure may be a better restoration.

This Particular Happiness: A Childless Love Story
Wife | Daughter | Self
Brave on the Page
Main Street Writers Movement
Knowing where your scars come from doesn’t make them go away. When Jackie Shannon Hollis marries Bill, a man who does not want children, she joyfully commits to a childless life. But soon after the wedding, she returns to the family ranch in rural Oregon and holds her newborn niece. Jackie falls deep into baby love and longing and begins to question her decision. As she navigates the overlapping roles of wife, daughter, aunt, sister, survivor, counselor, and friend, she explores what it really means to choose a different path. This Particular Happiness delves into the messy and beautiful territory of what we keep and what we abandon to make the space for love.
“This Particular Happiness, is a deeply moving story about Jackie Shannon Hollis’s decades-long yearning to have a child—and her complicated decision not to. But it’s also about so much more than that. With honesty, generosity, precision and insight, Hollis writes the story of her life—from her girlhood in rural Oregon, where she both broke and followed the rules, to her hard-earned self-acceptance at middle age. This Particular Happiness is a gloriously wise book about one woman’s unexpected path to becoming.”
—Cheryl Strayed, New York Times bestselling author of Wild
“This deeply engaging memoir wrestles with one of the most important questions of all: Why do we want what we want? Jackie Shannon Hollis explores how her own desires have been shaped by a culture that celebrates ‘mother’ more than any other role for women, and the possibilities that open up when she chooses not to play the role. A vibrant, absorbing, intimate book.”
—Leni Zumas, author of Red Clocks
“We all know that having a child changes everything, but so, too, does not having one, and in Hollis’s brave, moving memoir, she explores the bliss, the yearning, the making peace with a life she and her partner chose (and didn’t choose), and how happiness takes on shapes we can never imagine. The perfect book for anyone contemplating motherhood—or not!”
—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You
“This Particular Happiness examines the particularly female journey—how and where do we make room for love? And whether lover, wife, mother, or daughter, how can we be our most authentic selves? Jackie Shannon Hollis explores this rich terrain with clarity and courage, in spare and lovely prose evocative of the high plains landscape and fertile farmland she hails from.”
—Jennie Shortridge, author of Love Water Memory
“Jackie Shannon Hollis takes a topic that is typically whispered about and stares at it unflinchingly: a woman’s decision whether or not to have children. She questions the cultural conditioning (told by movies, television, and our families), along with her own biological and emotional responses, that a childless woman is failing to fulfill her destiny. What she excavates during this psychological dig is the truth that what makes any woman’s life successful is the woman herself. A powerful book for both genders and any sexual orientation.”
—Kate Carroll de Gutes, author of The Authenticity Experiment
“Sit down. Make tea. Hold This Particular Happiness by Jackie Shannon Hollis in your hands and read it slowly because she has written you a love letter. Maybe the intimacy in this prose comes from the tender way she observes. Maybe it’s the lyrical prose flexing, revealing the complicated choices one couple makes under the pressures of small towns, big events, changing times, and the relentless pursuit of understanding. Surely, it’s her writing that captures her wanting that is as open as the wheat country that formed her. In this love letter, you will find your own ‘beautiful ache.’”
—Kate Gray, author of Carry the Sky
“THIS PARTICULAR HAPPINESS claims an important place in the conversation about what it means to be female, especially a female who doesn’t follow the script written by a traditional rural family. Written in honest and intimate chapters, this stunning debut memoir is ultimately a love letter to the power of choice. It is sure to be a must read for every young woman contemplating a childless future, and a few older women wishing they could be granted a do-over.”
—Sheila Hamilton, author of All the Things We Never Knew
“This Particular Happiness is the eloquent unfolding of Jackie Shannon Hollis’s lifelong understanding of and relationship to her own body: what it could do for her, how it could be used against her, and, ultimately, how she claimed it as her own. Her prose is both achingly beautiful and precise, underscoring the journey of discovering integrity to oneself, and the promise of true love.”
—Liz Prato, author of Volcanoes, Palm Trees, and Privilege: Essays on Hawaii
“This book drew me in from the very first scene and gave me what I want in a memoir: the opportunity to see inside a very particular experience as well as to ponder big questions. What blend of family, culture, and personality inform our expectations? What do we seek from love and intimacy? How do we build defenses against trauma? How do we change? Hollis writes with a clarity and rhythm that makes the reading easy going even as she covers difficult and complex territory. The artful interweaving of storylines and time periods reveals a hard-won wisdom. Any person who has wondered about the path not taken—especially as it relates to child-rearing—will find themselves riveted.”
—Zoe Zolbrod, author of The Telling
“In This Particular Happiness, Jackie mines the depths of who she is and how she wants to be in this complicated world. She doesn’t settle for the obvious path, and even though there’s some disappointment and heartbreak, she learns how to love and be loved in just the way she wants. This book is a celebration of living life using your own damn map.”
—Yuvi Zalkow, author of A Brilliant Novel in the Works
“Jackie Shannon Hollis’s This Particular Happiness doesn’t keep secrets. It’s bare-naked honest. What a relief. Another sparkling moment of honesty, what we need, what we crave, what we try to remember.”
—Leanne Grabel, author of Brontosaurus: Memoir of a Sex Life
“In This Particular Happiness, Jackie Shannon Hollis takes on herself and her marriage and the immense, complex impulse to have a child. It’s like taking on a mountain, that impulse, and rarely examined the way she does it, holding up the mirror to her marriage with incredible detail and with an intent to truly understand her husband without judgment, and herself with him.”
—Kathlene Postma, Professor of Creative Writing, Pacific University
