Reason #4 to Swing Out in Catalina CA Sun, 09 Sep 2012 00:44:33 -0400 2plyswing 60@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions

Reason 4. Swing Era History
Why do we do this dance? There is a rich history for all the Swing Era dances. The more you know, the better you can embrace the full spirit of the dance. We are proud to have one of the nation's premier dance historians sharing his vast knowledge at CSDF:

Last year his early morning lectures were surprisingly packed. He provided us with vintage dance clips, incredible historical facts about the dances we love and left us wanting more! We know you'll all be dancing at Late Night into the wee hours of the morning so we have Richard's lectures scheduled at lunch time on both Saturday and Sunday.

Read below to learn more about Richard Powers...

Richard Powers is an expert in American social dance, noted for his choreographies for dozens of stage productions and films, and his workshops in Paris, Rome, Prague, London, Venice, Geneva, St. Petersburg and Tokyo as well as across the U.S. and Canada. He has been researching and reconstructing historic social dances for twenty-five years and is currently a full-time instructor at Stanford University Dance Division. He teaches a variety of social dance history and practicum classes for the dance division of the Stanford University Drama Department. He joined the Dance Faculty in 1992 and serves as a faculty liaison to the Friends of Dance at Stanford organization.

Richard founded the Flying Cloud Academy of Vintage Dance (1981) to produce large-scale monthly recreations of Victorian and Ragtime Balls. Formed the Flying Cloud Troupe, a 30-member performing company (1982) and co-founded the supporting Fleeting Moments Waltz & Quickstep Orchestra.
Richard started and directed the Stanford Vintage Dance Ensemble (1992) and serves as an advisor and choreographer for the Swingtime Dance Troupe.

Richard was selected by the Centennial Issue of Stanford Magazine as one of Stanford University's most notable graduates of its first century and was awarded the Lloyd W. Dinkelspiel Award for distinctive and exceptional contributions to education at Stanford University (1999). Recipient of the Post-Corbett Award, Cincinnati's foremost arts recognition (1992).

Aerials on the Social Dance Floor. Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:08:15 -0400 nuprinz 52@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions
"While I'm still thinking about it and because it was so horrifying to me...

Tonight, we had a few new couples on the dance floor that were attempting some seriously dangerous aerials. Like over the shoulder and upside down dangerous. I quickly sprinted over and had them stop and explained the potential DANGER WILL ROBINSONS to them and the other dancers.
Thankfully, I believe they understood me and will be coming back again too.

I think what might worry me more is the number of Fizz regulars that came up to me to thank me for talking to them. I understand how people may feel uncomfortable telling some kids off for being ignorant about floor etiquette BUT here's the thing, and it's very VERY important: It is YOUR dance floor too. Tell them to cut it out. Keep you and your dance partners safe. It takes a village everyone!

If you're not up to being the asshole telling the kids to stop, come find me. I will gladly be that asshole. I rather yell at someone than be giving CPR to them.

I hope you understand. [this is where you smile, nod, and click on 'like'] good. See you all next week. Meanwhile take care of each other!"

Do you think I was making a blanket statement about aerials? Is there other floor etiquette that should be the responsibility of the dancer or the venue owner to enforce?

Concordia University needs some help from experienced dancers! Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:11:21 -0400 Geraly 50@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions
My friend has transferred to Concordia University in Chicago (River Forest) and has become involved in their swing scene.

Since the Concordia is a very green club, they are running out of East Coast. I believe they have learned inside turn, outside, and the dreaded pretzel.

Caity McQueen would love to have some more experienced dancers help out. If I were closer I'd totally help out but I'm leaving it up to the good-hearted swing dance lovers that you all are.

I'm the middle man so please direct any interest/helpful tips to her via email or Facebook.

introducing some non-traditional swing dance music to our same-old same-old Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:28:48 -0500 Helen 15@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions
I understand that everyone loves dancing to music they recognize, but I wonder if we'd expand our creativity as well as draw in a wider audience if we started exploring some...different music to dance to. For example, I'm a big fan of blues dancing to groovy stuff from Daft Punk ( or Maroon 5 ( I love dancing to Billy Joel's Only the Good Die Young ( I wish somebody would play They Might Be Giants ( Oh and of course there's all that awesome electro-swing stuff.

I guess my point is, there's a lot of very danceable stuff out there that doesn't fall into the traditional swing dance music genre. I (and I know some of you others as well...*cough cough* Andy) think it's a lot of fun to dance to some new stuff every once in a while. It challenges me to move in different ways AND I think that non-swing dancers who maybe don't quite get into the 20s/30s/traditional stuff would be interested in swing if they saw that they could dance to Daft Punk or whatnot.

So, discuss (and don't hate)! And post playlists of your favorite non-traditional music to dance to!]]>

12th century Karnataka witnessed a great revolution called a socio-religious movement headed by Basavanna and other Sharanas assembled in Kalyana, Bijapur district. Before this movement,the whole society was divided based on caste, creed, class etc. The ladder system of society was prevailing. Birth-pride, caste pride took precedence over merit. The condition of women was miserable.Untouchability was prevailing. The state of affairs in the society was at its worst. There was no peace as there was great disparity amongpeople. there was a gulf between the rich and poor on the one side,high caste and low caste on the other. The position of Shudras was worst. The upper class in the society engaged all benefits and the suppressed classes were forbidden.

Basavanna, a great humanitarian came. He was a statesman, a social and religious reformer. In him one can find a rare combination or fugitiveness of a mystic with the precision of a scientist. The life and teachings of Basava have revealed the truth that he was one of the greatest reformers that India has ever produced. His contribution for establishing social justice, peace and harmony among different castes and his efforts to uplift the downtrodden were remarkable.

Indian history records with pride 12th century of Karnataka where human life was converted into a laboratory to experiment the human values in the day to day life. This unique experiment was headed by Basavanna and supported by Sharanas who came to kalyana from far of the places.

Basavanna was a practical philosopher. He said that all human beings are equal. He educated and inspired people to think freely and act accordingly. He wanted to establish peace and happiness in society by adopting universal brotherhood. Through monotheism, He tried to find unity among people. ‘There is only one god but names are several’, he said. His vision of one God enabled him to envisage one humanity.

Another important reformation they brought to improve the economy of society was improvement in the condition of labour. He said ‘All professions are equal, everyone has to work honestly’ “Work is worship”. Thus Sharanas put in to practice the method of curing the economic evils of the country. Basava was the first prophet who preached that poverty is not a sin, but it is a social evil. He proved that by hard work and sincere labour one can get salvation. “Kayakave Kailasa- Work is worship” was the slogan of the day.

Another important contribution of Basava and other Sharanas to the economy of the world is ‘Dasoha’- distribution of wealth to the needy and disabled in the society. Sharanas said that for a self sufficient society, hoarding instinct is bad. Accumulation of wealth is a sin. We have to share wealth with others. In the opinion of Sharanas capital is static and labour is dynamic.

The ideas of Sharanas are not mere utopia. They are most practicable. They set a role model by their way of life. Chaitanya sanskrithi, by its simplicity, honesty and humour sentiment is very apt even to the day, one can find solution to many of our present day problem. So the ideas of Chaitanya culture put forth in Sharanas are relevant today.

Sharanas expressed their views regarding the human values their vachanas. Vachanas are in very simple language in a distinguished form. Vachanas contained the quintessence or Upanishads teachings. More than 300 sharanas and 30 women saints wrote valuable vachanas. This literature is considered as unique to the world literature.

Vachanas are mouth pieces of chaitanya culture which emphasis the human values by direction to adherence to truth, humanity, good action, faith to God, respect for women, purity into internal and external.

So Chaitanya culture put forth by sharanas, make the people to lead fruitful life and to love one and all.

Adapting to the hybrid office

Recreating your office space as a hybrid working environment allows for flexibility for all.

 As the UK looks to return to the office after a year of lockdowns and working from home, this is the perfect time to consider how your working environment may look in the future.

Lockdowns have shown that there are benefits – and downfalls – to working from home, and capitalising on the highlights of each could help you and your employees be more productive than ever.

Harvard Business Review states that the office has 3 main roles to play going forward

Social Anchor

Colleagues can strengthen relationships reducing miscommunication and misinterpretation when working from home.

The Schoolhouse

It is much easier for new employees to learn informal, intangible ‘how things are done around here’ in the office where there is more to observe.

Unstructured Collaboration

Research shows that informal encounters often help people from different departments collaborate on a new, complex problem and generate innovative ideas. (“Have you talked to Sofia? She worked with a similar client last year. She might be able to share what it did for them or point you to a reference.”)

So what does this mean for your office space? Well, even before the pandemic, many companies were turning their physical workspaces into hybrid working areas. Flexibility is the key to modern working and while some staff may choose to work mainly out of the office, others will have to be in the workplace. This is the time to change how the office space works for you.

According to a survey by the British Council for Offices (BCO), more than half of white-collar workers at all levels – be they trainees to executives – want to combine days in the office with remote working.

A hybrid office must work for employees who work from home, those who go into the office daily, and others who divide themselves between the two spaces. Others may come in as and when they need to.  This freedom to work where and even when you want will be beneficial to many businesses – and will widen the talent pool for recruitment to include those who live further away from the office, working parents, and others who have commitments that make a 9-5 commute stressful or even impossible.

So your office needs to be adapted to cater for all your employees. The focus will move away from individual workspaces to shared workspaces. Office time might be allocated on a rota system, to allow everyone to come into the office for at least part of the week or day. The areas for solo workers should be versatile, to allow for different kinds of working – think cubicles, or private offices, or soundproof rooms for phone calls.

Collaborative space is key. One of the most important parts of in-office working is being able to collaborate and network in person. According to a report by Xerox, 95% of respondents stated that in-person, face-to-face communication was important when it came to personal development and talent assessment. So having a joint workspace that allows collaboration between employees and between employees and managers is still key to the success of many businesses. So, consider breakout areas and meeting spaces. They can take many forms – a lounge, coffee shop, or open-plan areas.

While considering the possibilities of a hybrid office – and it is quite an exciting possibility – we must also remember Covid-safety precautions. Considering that the vaccination programme may well not have reached most working-age staff by the time we head back into the office, it is pertinent to make allowances for regular and routine sanitisation of joint working spaces, ensuring there is space for employees to move around while keeping their distance from others and allowing protection in collaboration areas.

Halibut Lawsuit – Judge Rules in Favor of Sustainability

27 Nov

Gillnetters – many of you will be happy to know that the charter lawsuit challenging the one-fish bag limit and the challenge to the charter allocation has been won by the Halibut Coalition. The Halibut Coalition is the umbrella group fighting the charter industry on many of these issues with regards to allocation and over-fishing by the charter industry. USAG, ALPHA, SEAFA, PSVOA, and many other groups and individuals have been putting a great deal of time and money into the Halibut Coalition’s efforts. There are a number of folks to thank and there are still collections being made to pay off the debts incurred for the legal and political battles.

Please see attached documents for greater detail on the judge’s decision. What this means specifically, the issue legally is dead. At this juncture, the only avenue available to the charter industry would be to get the council to change their minds and adopt a new plan. Which at this time is unlikely to happen. Hopefully, those folks in the charter industry will come to terms with the decision and work on rationalizing the charter fishery so like other fisheries finds its own sustainability without encroaching into the commercial side of things.

LEAGUE PLAY UPDATE – I submitted scores last week, but they are not all entered.

I have emailed my Trivial Overlords at Last Call USA, and they are working on the problem.

You can check HERE to see if scores are posted.

I took the liberty of enrolling some of our veteran teams, so you may already be registered!

HINT REMINDER – You should check the Last Call USA website every Monday.

If you go HERE, you can see the weekly hints.

REMEMBER: Look at the TRIVIA hints, not the Name that Tune hints.

Last Call is working on a new game.  It’s different from the regular quiz – instead of knowing insanely obscure facts, you’ll need to know what “everybody knows.” You’ll be asked about what the most popular answers are to everyday simple questions.

(You may see that there is a passing resemblance to a popular televised programme from one of the tube’s Golden Ages. Total coincidence!)

If you want to help create the game, you can visit our new site and answer the exact survey questions that will be used in the game.

We don’t have any bars signed up for this game yet, but stay tuned for more details!

            A.) I put a quiz in this newsletter every week.

Sometimes it’s one question, sometimes several.

You can always check the blog the day of the show to see the quiz if miss the email.

This week, it’s at the bottom of this page.

There is always a prize.  It is seldom a good prize.

To win – Be the first person to tell me the correct answer IN PERSON any time AFTER 7:30pm.

(This week is a little different, see below for more details.)

            B.) I also put a slightly easier question on the facebook page for On Tap @ The Harbor.

            I post mine usually on Mondays.
            They usually re-post it under their official feed/timeline/thingy

            later that day, or on Tuesday. Check it out.

To win – Be the first person to tell me the correct answer IN PERSON any time AFTER 7:30pm.

This week’s quiz has 6 questions.

If you take the first letter of each answer and arrange them in a certain order, they will form a word.

What is the word?

The questions are:

a.) Fans of the Cuyahoga Falls/Akron/Kent band Devo often refer to themselves by what potatonic nickname?

b.) What indoor games includes these trick shots: a “cracker” defined as “a simultaneous knock-off and squop,” and a “crud” defined as “a forceful shot whose purpose is to destroy a pile completely” ?

c.) What is the only planet in our solar system bears the name of a diety from Greek mythology?

d.) From the greek word that means “Open Sea” what nautical term refers to the zone of water that is neither close to the bottom, nor near to shore?

e.) What 1875 poem is the origin of the phrases “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” and “bloody, but unbowed” ?

f.) What canine species is thought to have hunted the Tazmanian Devil to extinction on the Austrian mainland?

See you tomorrow.

I made a book.  It's a buck.

Sadly, there are only a few real castles left in Wiltshire. Poverty, war and neglect sealed the fate of every Anglo-Saxon residence, while the Norman castles and country estates were squabbled over by the aristocracy, taken back by the crown, and eventually crumbled to ruin from lack of care. The Dissolution of Monasteries Act ordered by Henry VIII saw the end of all abbeys and priories in the county.

From the 16th century estates, manors and churches were usually built on the ruins of older buildings leaving archaeology difficult if not impossible.

Devizes Castle

The origins of Devizes Castle began in 1080 when a medieval fortress was built by Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury. The baileyed castle is presumed to have been erected over the top of an Iron age fortress. Devizes Castle is famous for its part in King Stephens war against Empress Matilda. King Stephen besieged the castle in 1139, as did Oliver Cromwell in 1645, and King John imprisoned his queen here. The fortification must have been secure because Henry II and Henry III both used the castle as a prison.

Today, little of the historical castle remains. The original mound, an outline of the moat and traces of the foundations of the great hall are all that can be seen. Still, the ‘Neo-Norman’ design of the 19th-century resurrection is very aesthetically pleasing! The building is now divided into flats in private ownership and is not open to the public.

Longford Castle

Longford Castle is located on the banks of the River Avon south of Salisbury. It is the seat of the Earl of Radnor, and an example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. The original Manor house was acquired by Thomas Gorges in 1573 and has since changed its shape from a triangle to the hexagon you see today. Every generation has made alterations but it was Jacob, 4th Earl of Radnor (1815-1889), who oversaw the last significant changes to the castle architecture.

Today, the castle is a Grade I listed building and is currently the seat of William Pleydell-Bouverie, 9th Earl of Radnor. You can visit the castle which is open to the public for pre-booked tours on 28 days of each year.

Those who have seen the film The Princess Diaries may recognise Longford as the castle of Genovia, seen at the end of the movie.

Ludgershall Castle

Ludgershall Castle is a ruined 12th-century fortified royal residence at Ludgershall in Wiltshire. Three large walls still remain of the castle, which was turned into a hunting lodge by Henry III but fell into disuse by the 15th century. Extensive earthworks remain, although a private house stands on part of the site.

The property is now under the care of English Heritage.

Old Sarum

Cross Old Sarum‘s wooden bridge and step into the heart of a once bustling medieval castle. Built around 1070 by William the Conqueror, it was here in 1086, that William gathered all the powerful men of England for a ceremony to assert his royal authority.

Building the castle in the middle of the old earthworks transformed the site.  It created an inner set of fortifications which became home to a complex of towers, halls and apartments, and a huge bailey.

Stand in the footprint of Salisbury’s original cathedral in the outer bailey of Old Sarum.
The first cathedral was a modest building damaged by a violent thunderstorm just five days after its consecration in 1092. It was later massively extended by Bishop Roger.

In 1220 foundations were laid for a new cathedral in Salisbury (New Sarum) and Bishop Roger’s cathedral was demolished. Many of its stones were re-used in the construction of the new building. The outline of both the original and extended cathedrals can be seen today.

Old Wardour

Set in the peaceful Wiltshire countryside beside a lake, Old Wardour Castle, near Tisbury was once one of the most daring and innovative homes in Britain. It was built in the 14th century as a lightly fortified luxury residence for comfortable living and lavish entertainment. The original castle was partially destroyed during the English Civil War.

Today, it is managed by English Heritage who have designated it as a grade I listed building and is open to the public.

If you saw Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner you’ll recognise this as his family home that was destroyed by the Sheriff of Nottingham

Castles of which only a little or no traces remain include:

One Reply to “Castles of Wiltshire”

  1. We live in Castle Lane, Wilton, Salisbury, Wiltshire and next to ‘Castle Meadows’ in Wilton. Currently, there is no ‘castle’ in Wilton, but I have a reference that the name refers to “a castle built there by King Stephen as part of the fortifications of the town during ‘The Anarchy’ otherwise known as the English Civil War 1135-1153.”

    Does anyone know of published information concerning Wilton Castle, its construction, use and ultimate demise, please?

A Bit About the Blogger

Can you tell the readers a bit about your running past, maybe something about you, the perpetrator of this blog?

At this moment, I'm using Spotify to find new music that sounds like the kind of music I currently like most, but different, slightly — bands labeling themselves with a "the" in the name.

I have a tendency to over think things, especially direct questions. And, that's why I just started this response with a seemingly off-topic and evasive statement. Essentially, I tend to keep myself to myself. But, something about February makes me feel a little less reserved, I guess.

The band playing right now is called The View. With the exception of two tracks, they're rather low-key and poppy, not at all what I was looking for. Spotify indicated that they were related to The Vaccines, which is a slightly more punkish band. I think I'll go back to The Vaccines and start the search over.

My consistent running habit began in March of 2010, because my brother said he was going to train with his wife to run a half marathon in October of that year. My brother had never been a runner. I'd been a fair-weather runner with a vulnerable right knee for a few years. Naturally, I couldn't let my brother, the non-runner, run a half marathon without me running one, too.

The Vaccines albumThe Vaccines became part of my music collection after Spotify (henceforth to be called the music source) suggested that the band would delight my aural interests as much as Alex Turner's work on the Submarine soundtrack did. I don't find the two musical acts to be remarkably similar. But, it was a better recommendation than anything iTunes (henceforth not to be mentioned at all) ever listed for me.

In high school, as a senior, I joined the cross country team and promptly suffered a stress fracture, which meant that I was the guy wearing off-white carpenter jeans and a t-shirt in the team's yearbook photo while everyone else looked like an actual athlete. I wasn't fast, anyway.

Submarine Soundtrack by Alex TurnerI've already listened to the Alex Turner album twice today. There are just six tracks on it. So, I'm hesitant to listen to it again. But, I want to listen to something aside from The Vaccines, too. I've played their album too many times over the past couple of weeks. Funny how there's a tipping point for getting tired of a certain band's music. Oh, the dilemma. Okay, one more time for Mr. Turner while I think about who else to hear.

College required me to take a Physical Education course. So, I signed up for "Beginning Jogging". The instructor was a tennis player, which left me feeling kind of short changed. If I wanted to take a class taught by a tennis player, I'd have signed up for "Beginning Tennis"! In spite of this lost illusion (the first of many lost in college), I managed to pass the course. The grade was not based on average pace per mile.

Alex Turner's songwriting on this album is quite different from his band's usual work (see Arctic Monkeys). I won't describe the contrast for you, since we're supposed to be talking about me. But, it's really something to be heard. If you listen to Arctic Monkeys for the first time, make sure your introductory samples are from their earlier albums, especially "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not". Good stuff there.

After college, in the real world, running became a way to not get fat while avoiding the gym. (I loathe the gym) But, I lived in a very cold place then. And, I was not the hardcore runner that I am now. So, I just went to the gym and didn't run. Besides, I tried running and hurt my previously-stress-fractured hip again, which forced me to stop running.

Then, we (oh, yeah, there's been a "we" since college, folks) moved to another, slightly less cold place with few open spaces to run. And, the gym that we could afford to join was really dismal. So, I didn't do much in the way of dedicated exercise in the less-cold place. But, thankfully, the less-cold place was very conducive to walking, which was a good thing, since we didn't own a car.

"...If you're gonna try to walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes..."

Let me sum up: Run. Stop. Run. Stop. Gym. Move somewhere new. Stop. Stop. Gym. Run. Move somewhere new.

I'd never really trained until that indirect challenge from my brother came to me over the phone in 2010. And, having a schedule helped. Running in a race helped. Running different distances and noticing improvement helped. So much helped me enjoy running more in 2010. And, that's when I decided I'd spend more time running.

that's me in the marathonI didn't actually run that October 2010 half marathon with my brother. Halfway through training, I got the bright idea that I would rather run a trail marathon instead. I ran with my brother in May of 2011, though. He doesn't enjoy the activity as much as I do, not at this time, anyway.

I'm listening to Hanni El Khatib on the music source now. He's quite different from the aforementioned musicians. If you've ever wished that the Black Keys had a little more diversity to their oeuvre, you should give Hanni El Khatib a listen. He has a song called "Loved One" that's a lot of fun.

After that first marathon in 2010, I decided that my experience was worthy of internet immortality. So, I created this blog. Then, I ran some other races so that I could blog about them, too.

The National just keeps getting better, don't they?

By now, you've probably figured out that I'm not really going to disclose anything overtly personal in this post. Or, maybe I've done so unwittingly. Or, maybe I'm just posting this so that I can write about something other than shoes.

Here are some additional running-related truths about me:

  • In spite of my love for music, I do not run with music.
  • I do not race as often as some other runners. I have to be selective.
  • I am a family man. If you're a family man or woman, you'll know how that relates directly to a passion for running.
  • I'm saving my definitive opinion about barefoot running and minimalish shoes for another post.

And, if you've made it this far, you're probably bored to tears. So, I'll leave you with this marvelous advertisement for Chipotle, which features Willie Nelson's rendition of a decent Cold Play song. The ad is creative and well done, and the music really gets to me in a nice way. (Suddenly, I have a craving for a burrito)

Thank you for reading.

  1. The Chipotle video makes me think of this article:

    1. That is too freakin' funny, Josh! Thanks for the link.
      "...Consider that the next time you're a vegetarian and you're wondering why everyone thinks you're an asshole..."

  2. i was just going to recommend that you check out "the national", but then you've already found them. seen the national a few years ago at walnut creek (opened w/modest mouse, another good band) and have been a fan since. they did some music on the warrior soundtrack that is worth checking out if you haven't already. "warrior" is a 8.3 on imdb, and i agree that it's a great movie.

    1. When I first started listening to The National in early 2010, I wondered why it took me that long to finally find them. I'll check out Warrior. Thanks runcack!

Movie review: The Raid 2: Berandal

Publication YearIssue Date

When The Raid: Redemption debuted in 2011, it made a splash due to its incredible action scenes. Many people, myself included, said it was some of the best action they had ever seen.

The movie came from Indonesia, was directed by a Welshman, Gareth Evans, and prominently featured the martial art pencak silat. Its primary issue was a complete lack of story and little reason to care about everything that happened. But those action scenes were so good and so brutal that this didn’t matter.

For the sequel, an additional 50 minutes were added to the running time to bring out more of a story and develop better characters. While the extra length is a bit of overkill as far as I’m concerned — a happy medium could be found somewhere — The Raid 2: Berandal is a better movie than its predecessor thanks to this change.

The film takes place directly after the first and involves Rama (Iko Uwais) being approached to go undercover in an attempt to expose corruption in the police force. To do so, he enters prison to befriend Ucok (Arifin Putra), the son of crime boss Bangun (Tio Pakusodewo). From here, we get a pretty generic undercover cop movie. Rama sees a lot of things he probably shouldn’t, Ucok struggles with not getting the respect from his father he thinks he deserves and tensions escalate between Bangun’s crew and the Japanese — who have a 10-year truce that you can guarantee will be broken by film’s end. The only thing missing is that Rama never seems to be enjoying what he does and there’s no question about whether or not he’ll turn bad while undercover. It’s a question raised so frequently in undercover cop movies that it’s a bonus to not have to wonder about it in this film.

The Raid 2 is chock-full of the action scenes that made its predecessor a hit. This is a martial arts film where the heroes fight a large number of villains who almost always approach them one at a time — because one-on-one fights are visually dynamic and the mob mentality, while practical from the villains’ perspective, is far less exciting on screen. Hand-to-hand combat scenes are the primary form of action, and some of them are among the best I have seen. The same was true of the first film, but this one takes it up a notch.

Thanks to the much-expanded story element, we actually get to know the characters in The Raid 2, which makes the action scenes mean more. We get context, reason and real characters in the sequel, even if the story is longer than it should be. A film like this does not need to be 150 minutes in length. There are some lengthy stretches between action scenes, and some of the plot points wind up feeling repetitive by the conclusion. If it was cut down by 20–30 minutes it would be better balanced and more well-paced.

A more complete film than its predecessor, The Raid 2 is an immensely enjoyable action movie that also brings with it a full story and a great cast of interesting, well-developed characters. It’s a little too long, but I’ll take too much of something over not enough any day of the week. If you liked The Raid: Redemption, you’ll really enjoy this one. And if you never saw the first movie, now is the time to rectify that.

What Happens To Us

Participants, What Happens to Us. Photo: Ben McDonnell, 2017

Curated by Amy McDonnell and Marsha Bradfield, this exhibition examined democracy as a system of community formation.

What Happens to Us | Wimbledon Space | 15 November – 9 December 2016

Communities don’t just happen, they’re made

The exhibition unfolded in the long shadow of the UK’s referendum about whether to stay in Europe or not, as well as the threatening prospect of Donald Trump leading the so-called free world, which compelled many at that time to ask, should we ‘just say no’ to democracy? What if the philosopher Joseph de Maistre was right: people really do get the governments they deserve?

What Happens to Us takes as its departure the exhibition Democracy by the collective Group Material (1988–9), which was determined by round table discussions on the (still) pressing issues of AIDS, cultural participation, election and education. Today, we might add climate change, mass migration and economic disparity to this list. At What Happens to Us we ate together, made decisions and researched collaboratively, and built the exhibition and its ethos over time, hosting daily workshops, talks and screenings in four, weekly phases – ‘Build’, ‘Elect’, ‘Use’ and ‘Account’ to explore the politics in our communities.

With participation from

Acts of Searching Closely, Francesca Baglietto, Manuel Batsch, Brad Butler, Jaya Clara Brekke, Helen Brewer, Georgia Brown, Elliot Burns, Ève Chabanon, Cinzia Cremona, Carla Cruz, Neil Cummings, Neil Farnan, Michael Freedman, Sharon Gal, Naomi Garriock, Alison Green, Isabelle Gressel, Gabriele Grigorgeva, Mark Herbst, Karem Ibrahim, Helen Kaplinsky, Pippa Koszerek, May Project Gardens, Rosia McGinn, Zoë Mendelson, Radical ReThink, Susan Rocklin, Susanna Round, Scott Schwager, Barbara Steveni, Neil Tait, Jessica Tanghetti, Jennet Thomas, Binita Walia, Wright and Vandame

    I have been busy painting and working on Rae Missigman’s 21 Secrets 2013 Class, but I have nothing to show yet, so I thought I’d share some digital playing instead. I was catching up with my reading list yesterday and came across this post from iHannah about creating digital kaleidoscope mandalas. Well – I just had to give it a try, didn’t I!

    Digital Mandala/Kaleidoscope!

    I decided to use my Face Emotions image as the source and had great fun playing. iHannah’s instructions are very helpful. I created four mandalas, but that wasn’t enough for me. After downloading the results I had to play digital blending to take it that little bit further! This is the result.

    Thank you iHannah for the inspiration, and thank you SumoPaint for a nifty piece of software.

Anxiety Attacks in Children

Anxiety Attacks in Children

Anxiety attacks in children happen more often than you might think. Unlike adults, who can articulate what they’re feeling and know to seek assistance in order to deal with it, children don’t. So often, their anxiety is left untreated and they try to cope with it themselves. Parents need to understand and learn to recognize the signs of this condition so that they can get their child the treatment they need.

Understand that there can be several different manifestations - subheadings if you will - of anxiety that all fall under the same main heading. Children can experience what’s known as normal anxiety. They worry about what their future holds. Through the eyes of a child, the adult world can be a very scary place. They can hear things on the news that frighten them.

Experiencing the death of a classmate or a family member can leave them not knowing how to deal with fear - the fear of not understanding fully what happened and the fear of worrying if it’s going to happen to them too. These are normal worries. Love and reassurance can help your child deal with this kind of anxiety.

When it becomes abnormal is when the worry doesn’t let up but rather snowballs. The anxiety deepens and they begin to worry all the time. You might even recognize this by what some doctors call irrational fears.

Anxiety attacks in children can be a forerunner of a type of disorder that some children experience. Children might exhibit signs of anxiety by failing to be able to function in a normal setting. If they’re younger, they might begin acting out at school. Their behavior turns belligerent, their emotions seem to swing from one extreme to the other. Remember that children often feel things but just don’t know how to communicate exactly what it is they’re dealing with.

The physical signs that a child is dealing with anxiety are the same as it is in adults. They might complain of headaches, stomachaches and they might have a difficult time going to sleep at night.

If children have attacks that are not handled the right way and treated, it can have lasting effects reaching into their adulthood. They can have trouble developing friendships and trouble dealing the social pressure that kids get in school.

It’s so important that anxiety attacks in children be dealt with as swiftly as possible because children don’t have the ability to rationalize like an adult can. Continual attacks can leave them feeling like there’s no way out and they might begin to cause themselves harm physically.

In some cases, untreated anxiety can lead children to think about taking their own lives. It’s up to the caring adult in the child’s life to learn to recognize the symptoms of anxiety and reach out to help the child when he or she is unable to do so.

An excellent resource for working with anxiety attacks in children is a book written by Dr. Daniel Amen, called Mind Coach.

I use Mind Coach with my Anger Management and Domestic Violence clients because it clearly and succinctly outlines limited patterns of thinking, and it is related very closely to the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tool called automatic thoughts.

There is a excellent passage in Mind Coach that says the Bible has about 800 happy references, and if God mentions happiness that often, it must be because he wants us to be happy.

I love to ask my clients why they don't program happiness for themselves more often.

Most of us have lost sight of the fact that feelings are contingent only on what I think, not on what is external to the body, and that even though the external world presents difficulties, I can feel however I choose to feel whenever I choose to feel that.

Children can pick that up rather quickly, with their connection to their imagination.

Listening Communication

How can listening be part of communication?

Isn't communication about speaking your message?

If no one hears your message, has communication occurred?

Actually, if no one listens to your message, no communication has happened.

I teach my clients over and over again in my domestic violence education program that listening is a skill with discreet steps that can be learned and if you learn those steps, you will reap huge benefits in your personal and professional relationships.

So what are the discrete steps of listening?

1. Make a commitment (thought) to yourself to listen, and then pay attention. And renew the commitment if it fades during the conversation, which takes some self awareness.

2. Repeat the speakers words to your self as they speak, which keeps you from preparing your retort.

3. It the speaker communicates more data than you can hold in your short term memory, ask for permission to repeat back to them a summary.

4. If the answer is yes, then offer your summary, and ask if you are accurate. If the answer is no, you are not accurate, then ask them to repeat the information so you can hear it accurately. This process needs to be repeated until the speaker reports that you have heard them accurately. Remember, you are neither agreeing or disagreeing at this stage of the process, just listening.

5. My mentor in this field, Tony Kubicki, called this giving the gift of attention.

6. Your nonverbal behaviors are attentive while doing this part of the listening communication process, meaning that you are looking at the speaker, maintaining eye contact, offering gestures that encourage the speaker to continue, and so on.

If you put some effort into practicing this listening communication skill, which is actually the basis of what mental health practitioners do, you will see some very interesting results.

People who are very upset, even shouting, will relax and calm down when they are assured that you are going to listen to them.

The loudness is often the only tool the individual has to get themselves heard.

While most people would prefer that you agree with them, the listening is often enough for communication to happen.

If the speaker demands that you agree, then you are not in a conversation, you are in a power and control communication, or a manipulation.

There is no choice being offered, which is the opposite of power and control relationships.

What is frequently not taught in listening communication is the impact that the speakers non-verbal expressions can have on my physiology and my ability to sustain my commitment to listening.

Paul Ekman,Ph. has been studying human facial patterns for a long time, perhaps 25 or 30 years, across cultures and one of the most important aspects of his work for me was then notion that I respond to a look of contempt in 1/25th second, which is about twice as fast as I can blink my eyes.

The usual feeling associated with being on the receiving end of a look of contempt, and the tone of voice associated with it is one of hurt.

That feeling of hurt and/or surprise can get covered with anger in a shorter period of time than it takes for me to blink my eyes, and if I am not careful, I may give up my commitment to listen and enter into a shouting match.

That process might happen even if the speaker is not contemptuous of me. I need to be aware of and making sure that my thinking and physiology are congruent with a commitment to listen, literally heart beat by heart beat.

Is it possible to be aware of the inside of me and the speakers dialogue at the same time?

Probably not at the same time, but in very brief increments, yes, and the good news is that you are already good at doing this.

The bad news is that when you break down in your awareness, you can move your body very rapidly and generate negative consequences too.

What tools can help me learn something about my internal changes and adjust them rather than operate or act from them?

The Dual N Back Task? Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback?

You are probably thinking; "Never heard of them, and probably too complicated for me to learn anyway."

Not true. In fact, they are easy to learn, and once learned they are available on demand.

And the dual n back and heart rate variability have positive side effects too!

One feels good and the other increases IQ. Not sure about you, but bigger is better as far as I am concerned when it comes to IQ, and learning either or both tools will increase your ability to manage the inside of your body fast, so if you find yourself feeling angry, you will know to generate your heart rate variability biofeedback cue thought and relax in less time than it takes for your heart to beat.

The dual n back task is discussed in an excellent e-book called Brainfit for Life by Simon Evans,Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt,Ph.D. who are neuroscientists at the University of Michigan.

Based on their recommendation I tried the dual n back, and it taught me on my very first trial about how fast my attention wanders, and how inaccurate my short term memory is as a result.

However I have improved with practice, and look forward to maintenance practices now.

The dual n back is suggested for 19 days for 1/2 hour per day.

I have been using heart rate variability biofeedback since 2000, and I have taught it to many people in my practice.

Not only does it help me stay aware of heart beat by heart beat changes in my feelings, but it helps me keep an affiliative and cooperative physiology going, which is geared to connecting behaviors like listening.

Here are tools that I recommend for helping you to be aware of your feelings quickly for rapid adjustment.

Journey of a Lifetime
The collaborative travel documentary project
run in conjunction with the RGS
The high snows of Ladakh
Programme Details
Friday 16 Sept 2005
Listen to this programme in full
Chris Brown
This year the joint BBC and RGS prize for the most adventurous and unusual dream travel idea - a Journey of a Lifetime - went to a young photographer, Chris Brown.
A couple of years ago Chris had spent some time with a tribe of nomads from the Himalayan territory of Ladakh in northern India called the Kharnak. Now his dream journey would take him back to the tribe, and to his great friend Tashi, to travel across hundreds of miles of high-altitude valleys and mountain passes with their herds of yak and pashmina goats as they followed the available grazing. These nomadic tribes move across the landscape effortlessly and 'without leaving a trace' as Chris puts it, in complete harmony with their natural environment.

Bearing gifts of blankets and other essentials - and luxuries - to help them on their hard trek, Chris would record on film - and, for Radio 4 - the centuries-old rituals of the Kharnak ...before it's too late. For already the capital of Ladakh, Leh, has been encroached upon by the 21st century and its allure: internet cafes jostle with traditional traders alongside the Buddhist temple or gompa and the younger members of the Kharnak no longer want to carry on the hard-bitten herding life of their forefathers…

So Chris set off, armed with a battery of cameras and recording equipment - including for use in the freezing (minus 30 celsius) high-altitude regions state-of-the art flash-card recorders with no moving parts - and powered by solar cells. What he hadn't bargained for was the coldest and hardest winter in 30 years. Confined in deep snow for days at an end, Chris begs a lift from an enterprising driver (and non-cricketer, he assured Chris) called Nasser Hussain and together they throw themselves into the snowdrifts…. and get stuck…

Undaunted, Chris travels with another tribe of nomads, the Rupshu and is adopted by them. But death stalks the tribe and an elder dies of a heart attack… Determined to find Tashi and the Kharnak, but unable to get a companion to join him on his journey, he buys a horse and sets out alone…. But, as usual, nothing works out as planned… Now join Chris Brown on his epic Journey of a Lifetime amid the high snows of Ladakh….

Fancy going on your own JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME?

The RGS and the BBC are now inviting applicants for this year's prize: it consists of a bursary to cover the costs of your expedition and a guaranteed radio documentary to be broadcast next autumn on Radio 4.
