SASOD urges action to stop homophobic bullying in school

Guyana Times article

October 1, 2012

By Danielle Campbell

The Society against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD) has expressed dissatisfaction at a growing trend of bullying in both the public and private education system perpetrated on students perceived to be overweight, of a different race, or a certain sexual orientation.
As such, the organisation is again urging a comprehensive review of a broad range of policy statements and is calling for the development of clear guidelines with specific reference to the education sector.
During an interview with Guyana Times, SASOD co-chair Joel Simpson revealed that the organisation has received complaints from at least two young students, who have faced homophobic bullying – one at a senior secondary school in the city.

Joel Simpson

The society is attempting to have the information provided by the students, documented for research purposes.
"One of the challenges is that when these students are being harassed by classmates, they don't want to complain for fear of reprisal and further victimisation. So our strategy becomes to work with them just after school to see how we can address the issue in a systematic way," Simpson said.
He added that in such cases, school becomes a challenging environment to work in as there are no formal counselling mechanisms in place for support, guidance, and even solidarity when students face discrimination, harassment or any form of bullying.
The organisation was quick to point out that bullying does not have to be homophobic, but can range from racist remarks to jokes about size, stature, physical features, and deformities.
"We have seen in one particular instance where the school administration has sanctioned this type of bullying by sending a strong message that the confused student should change his orientation," Simpson remarked.
He described this dilemma as problematic and said this situation needs to be addressed at the policy level in terms of educating and training school administrations and to provide a mechanism for students to seek redress.
SASOD Secretary Zenita Nicholson emphasised that there is also no systems in place to deal with holding teachers accountable for allowing any form of bullying and even sanctioning and contributing to it.
Nicholson said when it comes to education and children, once a child is different, they are exposed to the worst forms of schoolyard bullyism and discrimination.
"If that child is too fidgety, let's label him as having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or ADHT, and more or less if that child has a suspicion of a sexual orientation, they are called names and taunted and this is encouraged by some teachers."
She noted that when such incidences occur, it is very unfortunate since the child is not encouraged to study and may eventually drop out of school or even commit suicide.
Nicholson believes that this creates unequal rights to education, as well as an imbalance in the way bullied youths have access to schooling without interference.  "They deserve the equal opportunity to an unhindered education just like every child, regardless of their abilities or orientation," Nicholson said.

Cross-dressing and men in the closet
Speaking on the laws against cross-dressing, Nicholson said SASOD has received numerous complaints about police perpetuating crimes against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transvestites (LGBT) who are found in default.
"Some policemen break into their homes, steal their wigs, and carry away their clothes and shoes. They harass them, demand sexual favours, and would even strip them naked on the seawalls and have them walk into the spotlight of their cars," she alleged.
Nicholson said these are reports that she has personally documented, and she is extremely saddened by this state of affairs.

Zenita Nicholson

She explained that during recent consultations, some officers in the disciplined services, who prefer to keep their orientations secret, have expressed embarrassment that their homosexual partners would point them out in public.
"One of the things they told me is that they didn't want to be identified on the street and they didn't want these men to be calling out to them when they are with their workmates.
"They believe that gay men needed to stay in the closet. They claim they needed to be homophobic when they meet their partners on the road, because if they admit to knowing them, their colleagues would subject them to the taunts of being gay."
Nicholson stated that so-called macho men would throw slurs at homosexuals during the day and seek them out for sex at night.

Commenting on the issue of homophobia, Simpson stated that psychological research has proven that one of the factors which drive violent homophobia is a fear within a person that they may have homosexual inclinations.
"Many times when we see people act out violently against gays, it is sometimes because they have struggles within themselves and may themselves be battling with homosexuality," Simpson stressed.
He believes that most of the responsibilities for addressing homophobia reside with state actors, since many of the difficulties surround "legislatory red tape", as homosexual behaviour is still considered criminal.
"So that cross-dressers who are stripped naked by police and placed to walk home in the headlamps of their cars would not want to make a report to police because the law says it's illegal to cross-dress.
"So how do we even start to address issues of justice, if the law already rules out certain lifestyles as criminal?" Simpson questioned.
He remarked that some gay men experience extortion at the hands of police, since they would opt to pay a bribe rather than face arrest or imprisonment.
"For them, the law accentuates the shame and stigma attached to certain behaviours.
This is what we need to change if we want to address the extortion, the harassment, the bribery, and discrimination that come with these issues," Simpson stressed.
He detailed that SASOD has been engaging the Guyana Police Force in an ongoing conversation and is working through all available avenues to continue its mandate of preventing discrimination.
The organisation has printed and distributed brochures on the police powers of arrest, search and questioning so that members who may have committed a crime would not face further violation of their rights due to ignorance.

Homosexuals can be cured
Simpson said the religious community and conservative elements are of the view that sexual orientation is a choice and can be corrected and cured. Referring to remarks by Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud, Simpson indicated that research from all parts of the globe has discounted this notion and has proven that attempts to fix homosexuals can cause severe damage to their psyche.
"There are people who struggle every day with homosexuality and trying to change who they are. Some eventually commit suicide and many of them live unhappy lives entering into heterosexual relationships which eventually lead to divorce.
"They don't last; they don't work out and years after when they have children, then they decide they need to face their true orientation. We see all these stories across the world and on Oprah," Simpson related.
He questioned which person in their right mind would choose to live a lesbian, gay, transvestite or bisexual lifestyle knowing the stigma and discrimination that comes with it.
"It doesn't make any sense to me who would choose the most difficult path when it's easier to just live a heterosexual life. So I think it's important that such messages be discounted and be called out for what they are – a psycho-social attempt to reform LGBT people which can be met with very, dire consequences."

Lobbying for law reform
Government recently tabled a motion which was passed in Parliament to hold countrywide consultations with the Guyanese people on three outstanding recommendations outlined by the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC), on the 2010 Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
The motion asked that a special select committee be established to hold consultations on the death penalty, corporal punishment, and homosexuality and present a report on the findings to the National Assembly.
"I think the parliamentary process will help to strengthen the consultations and how they are viewed. It's important, because it allows for participation from all the parliamentary political parties.
This is important if we are aiming for law reform to address many of the issues which relate to removing the discriminatory laws and policies," Simpson reiterated.
SASOD said it looks forward to when Parliament reopens on October 10.
"We are expecting that the communities directly affected by these laws, that there will be mechanisms for hearing these views and to have them play centre stage in these consultation process," Simpson pointed out.
The Constitution in Article 30 requires that people have a stake in the decisions that directly affect their lives.
"And because we are dealing with issues surrounding marginalised people, we are already starting from the perspective where these groups have less access to mainstream mechanisms… Many of these decisions are dominated by voices which do not have a stake in these issues," Simpson said.

RIP Blackberry...

Today a terrible tragedy occured! My blackberry phone... which is a pretty big lifeline for me... died. Rest is peace dear Red! (That was it's name because it was pretty and red)

Red was a part of my life, social calendar, sanity and annoyances for the past 2 years. It will be sorely missed.

And while the mourning process is still in effect the joyous recovery has shown it's lovely face... in the form of an iPhone!!

Let me tell you... I feel SPOILED ROTTEN with this new phone! But it will be VERY beneficial with the craziness that is my life. Plus I feel like my sanity could be helped as I'm listening to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun!" through the streaming music player on the new iPhone!!

I'm sure will be pics... but that is for AFTER the mourning period. :)

Here piggy piggy piggy!

And... another one bites the dust!

Chloe has been struck with high fever, head and body aches and overall miserableness. My poor girls! On Friday we found out that Abby has confirmed H1N1 flu virus. So she was in quarentine all weekend. The Dr's told us that it would run through the family and start with a fever. So here we go AGAIN!!

I've always thought little piglets were cute.... but this is just sick and wrong!

What Is So Special In Watching TV On My PC?

Innovations in computer and satellite technologies have paved a new way and dictated the methodologies and innovative ways to connect contemporary TV to ultra modern computer's digital interface. Watching TV on my pc provided a threshold of quality-oriented programs round the clock. What's more, the programs through the cable network are flexible and customized to suit any purpose, any taste and any type of audience.

Watching TV on my pc offered me an interface to you watch any program or entertainer broadcast or happening around the world in no time. Imagine, that too in your native language. The best part is that I can watch legally procured programs via dish connectivity and no hidden installation costs. In addition, I don't even have to pay for the monthly subscription or rental. Games, movies and information all were there, available on the click of a mouse.

Watching TV on my pc: What Technology is needed?

Watching programs via dish facility is a great idea. You need to have gizmos in place to get the best and uninterrupted entertainment action happening right to your desktops. The hard ware and software required are:

  • Cable Wires/Connectors- The wires provide direct connectivity between dish and your computer's USB. The connectors offer a suitable adaptability to your computer's hardware.
  • Software- A customized software, which guides your way and lets you choose the entertainment program of your choice at a click of the mouse.
  • Subscription- You have to fill subscription form, and pay one-time meager subscription fees to before you actually enjoy the fun extravaganza.
  • Dish Antenna- A high quality dish antenna angled at appropriate degree as per your geographical location would offer you uninterrupted and quality entertainment on your monitors.
  • TV format Compatibility- Check the compatibility of your computer with different international entertainment formats. These include PAL, NTSC, PAL-N, NTSC-JP and many more. It is important to add high scale flexibility to your workstation to let you incorporate any of world's technology effortlessly.

For me, viewing routine programs over digital interface was a dream come true, and it was all entertainment all the time.

A new way to Shop

Good Monday Morning!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We celebrated our sweet Frankie's ~7th birthday on Saturday.  I'm going to do a post on him soon, but we adopted him last summer from a rescue organization in Virginia and have just fallen in love with the little guy.  So needless to say, we spent the weekend spoiling him rotten!  Stay tuned for his story coming up soon.

Now to today's post!  If you have followed my blog for a while, you have noticed my instagram pictures or blog posts having links to shop the details from said posts and pictures.  Well, as of last Monday, rewardStyle launched a new app,  Due to the success of their shoppable link platform, they created an app where you can find all your liked photos in one place.  You can download it from the app store now.

What's so great about this app, you ask? WELL - All those pictures you love on instagram and 'like' are usually sent to your email and you can shop the pieces from there.  With the the new app, you can still like a photo, or, with the new technology, screenshot the photo and get a push notification that your items can be viewed in the app and then go immediately to the app and shop them on the spot.  It's going to make shopping my looks so much easier and all your likes or screen shots will be complied in one place, so you don't have to save all those emails anymore! If you haven't signed up for yet, use this link to create an account and start getting shoppable links immediately.  Another great feature of the app is a new section called discover.  You can search through photos that are similar to who you follow and pictures you have liked.  Making current trends and looks much more accessible.  See below for a walk through of how to download and use the app.

Go to iTunes and download the app

Open Instagram - Take a screenshot or like a photo.  You will then get a push notification (if you signed up for them)

Open the app (its circled in the picture above)

You will see a feed of all your liked photos.  Click on the picture you want to shop from and scroll down to look all the items that are linked to the post.

If you keep scrolling past the outfit details, you will see all of my outfit pictures that have been linked to the app.  So if you ever want to go back and find something or order again, it's all there for quick reference and easy access.

The last feature is the Discover tab I mentioned above.  It's on the bottom right of the page when you open the app.  If you click on it, you will see images that may be of interest to you based on who you follow or pictures you have liked.

I hope this was helpful and that you enjoy the app as much as I do.
Have a fabulous Monday! xx

Spring and Summer Fragrances

photo by Kyle Barnes

With the warmer weather on the horizon (for some of us), it's got me itching for Spring and Summer. There is nothing I love more than a good perfume.  I typically rotate a handful throughout the year.  Lately, as in the last year or so, my go to has been Jo Malone's Peony and Blush Suede.  It's just the perfect everyday scent and isn't overwhelming.  I also love Mimosa and Cardamom from her as well.  We gave this to my mother as a birthday gift and I use it every time I visit!

To me there are two types of scents.  Those you wear in Fall and Winter and those you wear in Spring and Summer.  Fall/Winter scents tend to be a bit more musky, potent and heavier.  Where Spring/Summer scents tend to be more light, sweet and airy.  Below are my favorite scents for this season.  What is your favorite go to scent for Spring and Summer?

Spring Stripes

Good Monday Morning, Lovelies! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We didn't do much, just the typical errands, and trying to catch up on sleep!  I am so happy that Spring is on the way! Although, I can't really complain.  We haven't really had a winter here in NW Florida, but it will be nice to start to wear short sleeves and lighter tops again.  This striped shirt has become one of my favorites lately. It's the perfect weight for those cooler spring days.  I have worn this every week since purchasing.  Below, I have styled it two different ways - One is more casual and one is more dressy casual.  It gives you an idea of how you can expand your wardrobe just by changing out your accessories.  I have linked the exact items that are still in stock as well as some similar items at the bottom of this post under "Shop the Post" I hope everyone has a fabulous start to the week! xx

Learn All About Buying A Home Here

Learning about how to properly purchase real estate is how you will ultimately get the best bang for your buck out of this unpredictable market. Make sure you read this article before you decide to put your money down in the market. Knowing how to approach being a buyer will save you big in the long run.

When you are buying a home you should always try to make sure that there hasn’t been any work done that didn’t have a permit. Things like a extra room or a kitchen update need a permit, and if there wasn’t one you may be the party that has to bring it up to code if it isn’t.

When you want to buy a home stop and think if you are a good handyman or know someone that is. A lot of times your dream home could be a bit run down or needs a little bit of work done to it. If you can do that stuff and have the money to do so you can end up getting a great deal on a home.

One of the most important factors in buying real estate concerns your credit. It is in your best interest to investigate any issues that may be on your credit profile before entering into a real estate purchase. This will avoid any unknown issues that may be lurking in your credit history and save you negative surprises when it comes time to get approved.

When purchasing a new home, it is important to research as many possible properties as you can. If you remain focused on only one home, you probably will not get the best deal for your money. Go to as many open houses as you can and keep an open mind about what you are looking for.

Don’t let the decor or minor cosmetic issues keep you from buying what would otherwise be your dream home. Simple home improvements like repainting, changing (or just cleaning)carpeting, or upgrading fittings and tiling, could turn something you find ugly, into something that feels like it was a custom built home just for you.

Know the entire cost of the home you are thinking of buying. Different properties will have different tax amounts that are owed each year, have different energy efficiency when it comes to utilities, and may have different costs for homeowners insurance as well. Use this information when you are comparing different homes to buy.

Location is a big part of the real estate selection process. Look into the surrounding areas as much as you do the features of the home. Find out how much of a distance you are going to have to travel to work. Get information about shopping, law enforcement, hospitals and doctor’s offices, day-care and schools and the traffic and parking to be sure it will be convenient for your family.

Look at your families needs when considering the floor plans of potential new homes. If you have elderly relatives living with you, a 2-story house may not be the best choice. Likewise, privacy concerns may send you towards a home with bedrooms on separate floors for different members of the family. Think about how your life will flow when making a decision.

When considering the purchase of a new home, try to buy in an area with a strong school system. This holds true even if you do not currently have children. Homes located in the sending district for good schools demand higher prices when it comes time to resell. A home in such an area holds a better market value even when times are tough.

The market may be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot learn to spot all the risks out there. This article has just illuminated some of the things you can do in order to make the right purchase. Now you can use this information to your advantage and avoid losing money.

The Advantages of Breakfast Cafe

breakfast cafe

Definitions of Breakfast Cafe

As stated by the American Egg Board, eggs offer a rather high quality of protein. The lowly fried chicken is now the new object of everybody’s affection. You don’t even should make the sauce! This recipe has turned into a family favorite. These recipes are adapted using the items readily available on a prison commissary list. A great green salad with each one is going to work. Thought Sandwiches is learning how to cook and plans to be moving on a boat in the very close to future.

When you aren’t eating breakfast then you’ll eat more food. Therefore, if you’re not eating breakfast that usually means you’re putting unnecessary pressure on other organs. If you have a tendency toward getting up late and thus skipping breakfast, this sort of routine should change immediately. Breakfast is the main meal of the day. As a result, if you awaken and don’t feel like a complete winter breakfast perhaps a protein shake is fantastic option.

Top Choices of Breakfast Cafe

You should have one in place so that you can present every detail about what your restaurant offers for lunch. As an example, parking and restroom signs are the sorts of things you may use for practically every function. Every time a similar event occurs in the future, we are apt to react the exact way. As an increasing number of events occur of a similar nature, our inclination to behave the exact way will become stronger.

Sometimes it is challenging to deal with the day ahead. All went well the very first night and day. Therefore, if you fancy something somewhat different in the morning go for one of many kinds of egg which are available.

If you’re on a diet, you should be certain to have a nutritious breakfast since the previous meal of which you had was 7 to 8 hours ago and your body requires some type of energy to begin the day with, therefore it is dependent upon the breakfast you consume. So if you’re eating more food at any point of time then you are going to face the issue of indigestion. Breakfast foods are now so popular with consumers that lots of chain stores are currently offering breakfast or extending their service hours. It’s a super food that could actually help lower cholesterol and lessen the potential for heart disease. Eating more food at the same time will make problem to digest.

A restaurant actually is a location where customers look out for a menu card particularly when it is lunch time. Rather than opening the telephone book to call for reservations, folks might choose to look at a restaurants Facebook page to learn what the nightly specials are. Restaurants can draw in these diners by offering buffets or plenty of alternatives. Some of the greatest restaurants in the nation offer just 10 or 20 seats at a moment. This menu was created for all of the vegetarian restaurants that provide simple vegan food to their clients. A bright red menu is ideal for the kind of place and food a burger shop would have. The cold breakfast buffet menu is simpler to manage, as you don’t have to fret about keeping food hot, food drying out or bacterial growth in the event the food is kept warm for at least an hour or so.

Direct2Drive £5 game sale: Week 3

The next round of games are up on D2D, this week it's RPGs.

There are a few classic RPGs available. Like Grand Theft Auto 3 and Penumbra...

Here's the full selection.

We aren't allowed to have Neverwinter Nights 2 or Assassin's Creed, they are only for the USA people.

I've updated the "Games to not buy any time soon" list accordingly.

Aaron said...

You can buy a few titles (elven legacy and some of the mmo's) from the USA site, so that saves a pound and a few pence.

Anonymous said...

Is there anyway of getting them from the American site? Everytime I attempt to get to D2D US it just redirects me.

Persus-9 said...

The only way I can think of without a contact in the US is through a proxy but you'd have to be crazy to send payment details over a proxy. I suppose you could take the risk of buying it using paypal over a proxy then immediately log into your paypal account and change the password but for the sake of a few games I'm not going to take the risk particularly when it's almost certainly against Direct2Drives terms and conditions.

I can't think of any other way of doing it that wouldn't require someone on the ground helping.

Such a shame because these sales are proving pretty awesome in the USA and very meh over here.

Heliocentric said...

In the top right of the d2d page there are a choose your area buttons. They look like flags.

Anonymous said...

Ah, thanks.

Do they except sterling, and if so, will it work on my PC?

Anonymous said...

@ Persus-9:

You seem not to be aware of one of the wonders of technology: cryptography

Your connection to d2d and paypal is secure, meaning that even someone evasdropping or manipulating the connection can't obtain your username,password,creditcardnumber or whatever you are sending.

Persus-9 said...

@ Anon: No, I don't think so. I'm fairly certain the level of security will depend on the nature of the proxy. If you can point me in the direction of a free proxy that provides a proper secure connection then please do so because I've yet to find one. I'm no expert on these things but the fact D2D has to be fooled into thinking the secure connection is not with my computer but with the proxy will surely introduces a huge security flaw.

@ Perseus 9

Under the assumption that you can use a https connection over your proxy (for example using TOR with an US-exit node):

Although D2D does only see the IP-Adress of the Proxy, the https-connection is between you and the D2D-server. The proxy only forwards the encrypted packets it receives from you, it can neither open nor manipulate them.

In the realworld, this would be like this:
D2D gives free locks with their stamp on it to everyone (so you have one and you can verify that it really comes from D2D). Only D2D has the keys to this locks though, so you can lock something with it but not unlock it.

You pack your credit-card number, billing address and all that stuff into a box and lock it with one of the D2D-locks. Nobody except D2D can open it now.

As you can't give the box to D2D directly, because the reception clerk doesn't like british people. But you can give it to an american friend of yours (the proxy) who then gives it to D2D.
Thus the proxy can do whatever he wants to your package, he will never get your data out of it.

For more details, look up

Only problem might be that D2D maybe only accepts US credit cards (they don't accept my non-US paypal account for US-only titles).

Eeeek how did they even squeeze everyone into this picture??

Their facial expressions are ON POINT though!

Emma Buchanan had the right idea when she booked us for her Hindsight 20/20 corporate event at The Market last week.  It was a blast and we always love to see employees enjoying themselves together!

I was randomly surfing through facebook when I located a couple of old friends from secondary school. Fairfield Methodist class of 2000. Right now all of us would be in the same stage of life. Just finishing Uni or first year into our debut job. I remember class 4C being known by our teachers as the naughtiest class in the form. We made our geography teacher cry by singing 'This is the song that doesn't end' over and over again. We made our physics teacher cry cuz...I don't even remember why. We were told by our principal that most of us won't make it to junior college or university, so we should apply for a polytechnic.

Fast forward seven years. As I scroll through most of their profiles, not only are most of my classmates in university, some of them are pursuing masters degrees. And we are dispersed across the globe. Dublin. Japan. Singapore. New York. Illinois. Perth. Sydney. Melbourne. England. And they all seem to be living it up. Travelling. Dating. Marrying. Experiencing food, wine, culture. Working. Studying. Painting. Caring. Playing.

It is such a warm fuzzy feeling to know that my fellow classmates, most of which I haven't spoke to for ages are doing well!

Economy Not As Bad As We think

Economy Not As Bad As We think

There are many questions nowadays revolving around whether or not we're heading in the right direction with the economy. While the stock market isn't having the greatest start to 2016, several arguments show otherwise as to why things are possibly looking up.

During our latest Commercial Real Estate Summit, Rick Mattoon, senior Economist from the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago, touched on both sides of the argument of whether or not our economy is heading in the right direction. Some of the themes Rick touched on were pockets of strengths and weaknesses, struggling to get faster growth, where aggregate demand will come from, and clashing world monetary policy.

Here is a look at a presentation Rick put together a presentation to show how our economy is in many ways close to normal.

From the statistics provided we can see that, as an overall nation, our economy is slowly getting better. Illinois on the other hand, will always be a little tougher when it comes to growing consistently with other states because of our slow growth rate.

For Illinois, it comes down to a more rules based approach. We must implement better fiscal rules such as all funds reporting, multi-year budgeting, identifying one-time revenues, adequate reserves.

Until next time, we'll leave you with this economist joke!

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.

The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies "Four." The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly."

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The accountant says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four."

Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says, "What do you want it to equal"?

Ghosts of relationships past

When celebrities split up, they enrich the vocabulary of English. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin gave us the much-derided expression "conscious uncoupling" in 2014 ("We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner"), which Urban Dictionary defines as "A bullshit term used by people who take a relationship/marriage and any children involved lightly to excuse their behavior to people that they consider themselves above."

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn thankfully (yes, that's 'thankfully' as a sentence adverb) did not issue a pompous statement when they, but they helped popularize the term "ghosting," which is defined by the NY Times as "ending a romantic relationship by cutting off all contact and ignoring the former partner’s attempts to reach out."

I'm not sure which strategy is best from a psychological viewpoint, but "ghosting" is definitely the better word.

First Wave of Saxons

A few days ago the first Saxons arrived and I'm pleased as a proud owner of a Saxon Granny can be.

Paul did a fabulous job and I was surprised when I was holding them beside my Calpe Saxons as they
seem to be a very good match.

All Westfalia

Few Calpe mixed in (see black dot)

Note the biggest difference - calpes tend to lean forward and have the right boot forward while Westfalias are pretty straight and have the left boot in front. Also Calpe has very slightly bigger bayonets and deepwe cloth-folds.

Next is the Grenadiers!

  1. I like them an awful lot! Thank you....

    1. Same here! And honestly - it's a good thing Calpe seems to fire up his own production after all.

Friday Notes

  • We are singing “Jesus on the Mountain Peak” this Sunday. If the children are not at Sunday School, they should be at church by 9:40 so that we can practice the hymn before the service.
  • When it is your family’s turn to clean the school over the weekend, please make sure that the floors are getting vacuumed with the vacuum cleaners and not the carpet sweepers. The carpet sweepers work well for the students to use during the week, but the vacuums do a much better job of getting the sand and salt out of the carpet. Thanks!
  • We have students arriving very close to or after 8:00 in the morning. We start devotion at 8:00 and when they get here so close to that time, there is not sufficient time to hand in homework or to get ready for the day. If possible, please try to get your children here a little earlier so they are ready to go for devotion at 8:00.
  • Tuesday is the due date for the students to have an idea ready to present for their Table Talk Time. There is nothing that needs to be brought to school for this at this time, just an idea of what each student will be doing. Please refer to the Student Fair folder that was sent home for more information on ideas for this. Since the first graders do not get the folder, a copy of the folder page was put into their assignment notebooks.
  • The Valentine’s Day party is on Wednesday, February 14. The students may bring their Valentine collection boxes beginning Monday. Hot lunch will be provided by the party volunteers.
  • Our Box Tops for Education submission is due March 1. If you have any at home, please try to get them to school by the last week in February.
  • Singing dates:
    • Sunday, February 11 – 10:00 a.m.
    • Sunday, February 25 (Sunday School) – 10:00 a.m.
    • Sunday, March 25 (Palm Sunday mini-concert) – 10:00 a.m.
    • Friday, March 30 (Good Friday) – 7:00 p.m.
    • Sunday, April 1 (Easter) – 9:00 a.m.
    • Sunday, May 20 (Confirmation) – 10:00 a.m.
    • Sunday, May 27 (Graduation) – 9:00 a.m.

2012 East Cooper CCA banquet

Original art by Joe Shuford on the live auction
Dem Boys: Reed Simmons, Jack Sisson, Johnny Crislip
The May 4 conservation banquet for the East Cooper Chapter of CCA drew a record 106 sponsor members! Who says that saltwater conservation is not important to recreational anglers? In fact, it is those same recreational anglers who are in touch with our natural resources, and who pay for licenses and tackle. Funds generated from those sales provide the proper science-based facts to base future fisheries management decisions on. The lighthouse facility on Shem Creek served as the backdrop for this night of fellowship, food (Chas. Bay Gourmet) and drink, raffles and auctions. One of a kind art, guided fishing trips, and furnishings for the sporting life were just some of the items that CCA members got to bid on. CCA SC director Scott Whitaker thanked those he could for their help with the banquet, and one group of anglers remembered an angling friend who had recently passed away. John Friend was a member of Team Excel, a small group of wheelchair-bound anglers who love to fish, who attended the banquet and left an open table setting in his honor. Saltwater bonds are indeed deep bonds, and plenty of other friends at the CCA banquet were swapping fishing stories about the early offshore bite, or maybe about how the redfishing had been slow in the mornings this week. It's likely that most of the banquet patrons departed the event with a renewed vigor to get back on the water and to catch some fish!
Look for more social photos in the May 17 edition of the Charleston Mercury.

Stained Glass like embellishment--Step to Step Instruction

All you will need:

1. 3D outline stickers. You will get in the card making section in your LSS

2. Acetate paper or transparency sheet

3. Colour gel pens- sparkle ones even better for butterfly

4. Craft knife.

Making it:

1. Remove one of the outline sticker carefully ( I have used flower to show you, there is butterfly which is more effective) and paste it on the transparency sheet.

2. Cut the outline. Use your colour gel pens and colour inside. Let it dry for few minutes. Here you can use any medium-kindy glitz, glimmer mist…. If you are using chalk, then you must sand the transparency sheet prior to sticking the butterfly sticker. That way the chalk powder will stick to the sheet.

4. When the colours are dry, the embellishment can be used on your layout or on your card.if you have made a butterfly then fold the butterfly in the middle and stick the butterfly using glue dots.

Here are photos of the butterfly I made.

Hope you have enjoyed it. Make as many as you like and have fun. Thanks for going through. This is my first so give me feedback

 Scratch My Back ESL game-For Teachers
Scratch My Back ESL Card Game

japanese flag

Why Use Scratch My Back In the Classroom?

Learning is easiest when it's fun and involving, which is why ESL card games are an effective way to teach English: they make the long journey more enjoyable, provide another learning angle and offer short term rewards for giving 100% effort.

Scratch My Back goes a step further than other ESL games: it is essentially an evolving role-play involving the whole class. As an ESL game, it is original, innovative, with lots of entertainment value and content. Most of all, it uses players natural competitiveness to get them speaking and having fun with English.

There are several ways to play. Like most ESL card games, Scratch My Back can be used as a time filler at the end of a lesson. You can also pick out relevant language cards from the deck to assist with roleplays, or mini conversation games. However, we think students get the most benefit if Scratch My Back is treated as a module- with the teacher dedicating a few lessons to covering the themes and language in the game. Afterall, once you scratch the surface, Scratch My Back covers a large number of related topics that form important stepping stones towards becoming a competent English communicator.

Teaching with Scratch My Back is easy and enjoyable, but it does take a little skill to get it right. With this in mind, we wrote the Scratch My Back classroom guide ebook. It contains a number of ideas and lesson plans to help you maximize the educational benefit of playing.

We think you'll be amazed at how quickly players pick up the new language and concepts when driven by their competitive instincts. Once players have mastered the game, they have acquired a new set of language skills which are really practical in everyday life, yet remain weakpoints among many English learners. And of course, revising the material is as easy as playing again.

Working On the Blind Spot:

The language in Scratch My Back covers a blind spot in language education for many people -it teaches direct communication skills and speaking confidence.

Not all cultures are as direct as English speaking countries, and this in combination with language barriers are two major confidence killers for non English speakers overseas. Situations in the game (just like in real life) will sometimes call for players to be a little rude and other times polite and magnanimous. By using humor and providing a clear game objective, Scratch My Back gives players a licence to be a little 'out there', break through barriers, practice saying what's really on their mind, or what they might say if there were no consequences.

Themes and Grammar covered in Scratch My Back:

In a game of Scratch My Back, players practice making requests, using irony, asking favors, giving reasons, paying compliments, cooperating, saying no, making excuses, justifying their reasoning, creative problem solving, telling a story and negotiating amongst others.

The grammar and language on the cards provides a balance between kindness, cheekiness and cunningness; repetition of grammar structures and variety.

Scratch My Back is the ESL card game that every classroom, and student needs! It's a great addition to any conversational English teaching curriculum, and may provide the insight your students have been searching for to overcome that barrier and get to the next level.

George Clooney, Jack Foley

Universal/Getty Images

Then: George Clooney played Jack Foley, a bank robber who breaks out of prison, spends his ride out with a U.S. Marshal in the trunk of a car, and then accidentally falls for her when she chases after him. Clooney had previously appeared in 'From Dusk till Dawn' and played Batman in 'Batman and Robin.'

Now: Clooney went on to appear in Soderbergh's 'Ocean's Eleven' trilogy, and appeared in the Coen Brothers' films 'O Brother Where Art Thou' and 'Burn After Reading.' He moved into directing himself, helming and starring in the films 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' 'Leatherheads,' 'The Ides of March,' and most recently, 'The Monuments Men.' He also recently starred in 'Gravity' and can be seen next in Brad Bird's 'Tomorrowland.'

Jennifer Lopez, Karen Sisco

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Jennifer Lopez played U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco, sent to apprehend Jack Foley -- but is she tracking him down because she wants to catch him, or because she loves him? Lopez, a previous Fly Girl on 'In Living Color' and star of the film 'Selena,' was not the first choice for the role: Sandra Bullock was also considered and had great chemistry with Clooney. (Bullock would later go on to star in 'Gravity' with Clooney in 2013.)

Now: Lopez released her debut single in 1999, and has since released seven studio albums. She has appeared in the films 'The Cell,' 'The Wedding Planner,' 'Maid in Manhattan,' and 'The Back-up Plan.' She is a judge on 'American Idol,' and the executive producer of the ABC Family show 'The Fosters.' Lopez has recently appeared in the films 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' and 'Parker,' and can be seen next in the horror film 'The Boy Next Door.'

Ving Rhames, Buddy Bragg

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Ving Rhames played Buddy Bragg, Jack's right hand man and one of the guys who helps get him out of prison. Rhames was previously known for roles in 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Con Air.'

Now: Rhames also starred in the 'Mission: Impossible' films and in 'Entrapment,' 'Bringing out the Dead,' 'Undisputed,' and 'Dawn of the Dead.' He was the only actor from the 'Dawn of the Dead' remake to also appear in the unofficial sequel, 'Day of the Dead,' though he played a different character. More recently he's appeared in the films 'Death Race 2,' 'Piranha 3DD,' and 'Won't Back Down.'

Steve Zahn, Glenn Michaels

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Steve Zahn starred as Glenn Michaels, Jack's other friend who helps break him out of prison and get him to the suburbs of Detroit. Zahn had previously broken out with roles in 'Reality Bites,' 'That Thing You Do,' and 'The Object of My Affection.'

Now: Zahn went on to prove his diversity with roles in 'Happy, Texas,' 'Saving Silverman,' Rescue Dawn,' 'Sunshine Cleaning,' and 'A Perfect Getaway.' He's also appeared in the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' films, and you may have recently seen him in 'Dallas Buyers Club' or 'Knights of Badassdom.' Zahn stars on the HBO series 'Treme' and on the upcoming ABC series 'Mind Games.'

Don Cheadle, Maurice Miller

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Don Cheadle played Maurice Miller, a criminal who plans on hitting up the same mansion as Jack and his pals and interfering with their heist. Cheadle had gained notice the previous year for his role in 'Boogie Nights.'

Now: Cheadle went on to star in Soderbergh's 'Ocean's Eleven' trilogy with George Clooney, and has appeared in the films 'Hotel Rwanda,' 'Crash,' and 'Reign Over Me.' He stars on the Showtime series 'House of Lies,' and plays Lt. Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes in the second and third 'Iron Man' films, as well as the upcoming 'Avengers: Age of Ultron.'

Albert Brooks, Richard Ripley

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Albert Brooks played Richard Ripley, a no-good businessman who told Jack about a stash of diamonds in his home in Detroit years ago when they were both in prison together. Brooks was previously known for roles in 'Broadcast News' and 'Terms of Endearment.'

Now: Brooks became more selective with his roles, appearing in less films and television shows after that. He voiced Marlin in Pixar's 'Finding Nemo,' and lent his voice to several episodes of 'The Simpsons' as well as 'The Simpsons Movie.' Brooks has recently appeared in the films 'Drive' and 'This Is 40,' and can be seen next in 'A Most Violent Year' and reprising his voice role in 'Finding Dory.'

Luis Guzman, Chino

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Luis Guzman played Chino, one of the fellow inmates at the prison where Jack spends time. Guzman had previously appeared in 'Boogie Nights' with Don Cheadle.

Now: Guzman went on to star in Soderbergh's 'The Limey' and 'Traffic,' and reunited with his 'Boogie Nights' director Paul Thomas Anderson for 'Magnolia' and 'Punch-Drunk Love.' He's also appeared in 'Anger Management,' 'Waiting,' and 'Yes Man.' He's more recently appeared in the films 'The Last Stand' and 'We're the Millers.'

Catherine Keener, Adele

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Catherine Keener played Adele, Karen Sisco's eccentric friend. Keener was an emerging actress at the time who had previously appeared in 'Thelma and Louise' and 'Boys.'

Now: Keener went on to appear in the Spike Jonze films 'Being John Malkovich,' 'Adaptation,' and 'Where the Wild Things Are.' She's also starred in 'The 40 Year Old Virgin,' 'Capote,' 'Synecdoche, New York,' and 'Cyrus,' and has appeared in three films with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. More recently, Keener starred in 'Enough Said' and 'Captain Phillips,' and can be seen next in 'War Story.'

Michael Keaton, Ray Nicolette

Universal/Getty Images

Then: Michael Keaton made an appearance as Ray Nicolette, an A.T.F. agent and friend of the Sisco family. Keaton also played Ray Nicolette in Quentin Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown,' which was also based on an Elmore Leonard novel which takes place in the same universe -- but since Miramax held the rights to the character, Tarantino had to negotiate a special deal to allow Universal to use the character and Keaton, thus his appearance was uncredited.

Now: Keaton has since appeared in 'White Noise' and 'The Other Guys' and lent his voice to Pixar's 'Cars' and 'Toy Story 3.' Recent he starred in Larry David's HBO film 'Clear History' and in the 'RoboCop' remake, which is in theaters now. You can see him next in 'Need for Speed' and 'Birdman,' and he's rumored to reprise his role for Tim Burton's 'Beetlejuice 2.'

The Scar

Steve Stekeley's 1948 Noir The Scar (also known as Hollow Triumph) is perhaps most notable because its leading man is Paul Henreid, who six years earlier had played the part of Victor Laszlo in Casablanca. Beyond that, The Scar is at first sight an eminently ephemeral movie, easily forgettable. But it's interesting in so far as it problematizes the very process of memory and recognition.

Henreid's character in Casablanca is a Czech resistance hero who is strangely both the center of the plot and utterly marginal. For though the film ostensibly revolves around Laszlo's efforts to flee the Nazis and seek asylum in America, what we remember is the tension and romance between Ingrid Bergman (playing Laszlo's wife) and Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, the bar-owner who has the letters of transit that would make Lazslo's escape possible.

Similarly, in The Scar, Henreid again plays a character who fades from view... the difference being that in this film Henreid also plays the character who replaces him. Moreover, this is a film about the replacement itself, and the effect that it has (or, oddly enough, doesn't have) on the audience.

Henreid is Johnny Muller, a sophisticated and intelligent, but also brutal, gangster who at the movie's outset has just been released from jail. Reunited with his former fellow-criminals and underlings, he proposes they rob a casino run by a rival, one Rocky Stansyck. But the heist does wrong and though Muller one of his buddies, Marcy, get away with the dough, they know that Stansyck's men are on their trail, and what's more that Stansyck has a reputation as one who never forgets a slight. "Even if it takes you 20 years," he tells his heavies, they must at all costs make Johnny and his partner pay.

Marcy decides to hide out in Mexico, cursing Muller for letting him down: "I'm through with you. I'm going to blow. Mexico. South America. On my own. As far as I can get." But if there's one thing that Noir teaches us about crossing the border, it's that there's no refuge on the other side. Noir has no time for the notion that frontiers can protect us or keep us safe from what we fear most. Just as Janet Leigh in Touch of Evil finds no sanctuary north of the border, so Marcy finds none south of it. Soon enough, Muller is shown a newspaper headline and photo that confirms that the long arm of Stansyck's rough justice has caught up with his old pal, who has been gunned down in Mexico City.

Johnny himself is hiding almost in plain view, having taken up a civilian job offered him originally by the authorities when he left jail. But he knows that he, too, is not safe for long. And then he stumbles across a stunning coincidence: there's a psychoanalyst who has an office across the street who bears a striking resemblance to him. They could almost be the same person except that the analyst, Dr Bartok, has a prominent scar on one cheek.

And so Muller decides to take on Bartok's identity: he follows him around, studies the basics of psychology, learns the doctor's habits, romances his girl, and then finally etches a scar on his own cheek before disposing of his double and stepping into the dead man's life.

The one flaw in the whole arrangement is that Johnny finds he has accidentally disfigured the wrong cheek: he has made himself into literally a mirror image of his victim, with a scar on the right-hand side where the doctor had been marked on the left. But the film tells us that this doesn't matter: oddly enough, nobody notices the change; everyone, from Bartok's patients to even his wife, is prepared to accept that Muller really is Bartok.

In a film so centrally concerned with psychoanalysis, the message is obvious: desire trumps reality. Bartok's associates so wish it to be him, that they are prepared to ignore--better, that they simply do not see--the dramatic change in his face, the switch of the man's most distinguishing characteristic from left to right. And the same factor determines that the only person who does eventually see through the transformation is precisely the one who wants it not to be so: it is Bartok's secretary and lover, Evelyn, whom Muller had already seduced as Muller, who recognizes Johnny for who he is.

Finally, the ultimate irony is that Johnny's downfall comes precisely from the fact that he cannot over-ride the desire of others to see him as Bartok rather than as Muller. On the point of eloping with Evelyn on a liner to Hawaii, Muller is chased down by two thugs in the pay of a local casino... who are out to make Bartok atone for unpaid debts. Muller frantically tries to point out that his scar is on the other cheek from Bartok's, but to no avail: he, too, is gunned down and the casino's enforcers have got the wrong man, if for the right reason. Caught in the fantasy of living another man's life, Muller finds himself doubly accused in that his alter ego draws the same punishment that he himself had long hoped to evade. The problem with relying on desire to trump reality is that it is not merely your own desire that is at play.

Home Again and Hay Bucking

It's a real pleasure to be "back home". We've worked really hard to make this place reflect some life values and I now see that I was giving a lot of those up in my mind. We had planned to move to a much smaller place which seemed to make sense at the time - this place wants a lot of love and caring. But I was also giving up my garden and my root cellar dreams (here's a link to a post from Scrub Oak I with a picture of my "root cellar" )I was giving up having enough room for the girls and the grandkids - and, let me tell you, I never realized how I treasure having a houseful of the people that make my life shine. It's strange now that we're staying here how I've stopped seeing the house's faults. They don't even exist anymore. Weird.

The morning promises more rain so I drove the truck for Jerry while he loaded some alfalfa hay. I think I love this time of year more than any other. Everything growing seems to be reveling in bounty. The farmer's markets have stands of colorful fruits and vegetables. The pasture grass is topped in golden grains.

Overwatch doesn’t really have a story. Not while you’re playing it, anyway, where you might murder a red-tinged mirror of yourself while escorting a talking limousine to an arbitrary point, or find your ‘good guy’ character fighting alongside an evil goth for no particular reason. It is, for all intents and purposes, utter nonsense, but it’s video game nonsense, which we forgive.

Outside of play, Overwatch has a million stories. There’s its delightfully unruly headcanon, where unlikely couples end up in bed and the space and time continuum can be be bent into any shape fans want. But there’s also its official lore, born from stunning Pixar-esque standalone shorts, that have informed the way we view these characters and their relationships, and moved us in the process.

The future of these shorts has interested me since ‘Recall’, the very first one that told a touching story about a baby gorilla being inspired by the idea of a better world. Recall certainly gave us enough Overwatch exposition to leave it there: this is the bad guy, these are the good guys, the good guys are reassembling. I ask Overwatch VFX Supervisor Jeff Chamberlain what the impetus was to keep going.

“We knew that we wanted to create a lot of stories as quickly as we could to tell as much as we could for these characters and we thought that maybe just doing one cinematic for the game release and leaving it at that wasn't quite enough,” says Chamberlain. “And so we talked about a few different options and we ultimately landed on the idea of doing a series of shorts and we really haven't looked back since.”

The first several laid the groundwork for the overall idea of Overwatch; the call to arms, old heroes shaking off the dust. The more recent shorts ‘The Last Bastion’ and ‘Infiltration’, released alongside new character Sombra, were more straightforward character profiles that existed outside the main story. Blizzard isn’t putting too many restrictions around the stories it wants to tell, explains Chamberlain. “Honestly, sometimes it's just like ‘wouldn't it be really cool to make two ninjas fighting each other’, basically.”

There is, however, still a desire to push an overarching Overwatch story forward, so it’s not simply a case of giving every character a short for the sake of it. Launching the game, the team tended to focus on exposition, says lead writer Michael Chu. “But I think that we have a desire to continue to push the story forward because you know the game sort of exists in its own pockets of time.”

But what about its storytelling model? Overwatch is a multiplayer FPS, which means it is essentially endless. Are Overwatch’s shorts modelled on comic books, with continual narrative arcs, or are they inspired by TV, which leans toward definitive endings? Chu suggests it’s the former.

“Especially when you consider all of the heroes we've announced so far and all the story that we've released, I know that just from us discussing it from a story perspective we have so many different stories that we would love to telI. I think as long as we have stories to tell, we'll keep trying to find ways to tell them.”

As you might expect, the production of these shorts is intensive. Chamberlain tells me each takes six to eight months to get from initial storyboards to final frame, and the cinematics team generally have two to three in development at the same time. Not every asset comes packaged and ready for Chamberlain’s team to use, and there’s a lot of fiddly filling in the blanks.

“The rooftops aren't built to be seen that close up,” he says, referring to the rooftop fight between Tracer and Widowmaker in ‘Alive’ which takes place on an existing Overwatch map, King’s Row. “And so often we have to see where the camera will be in the short and then decide where we need to increase the resolution of whatever is there.”

Though the games team usually leads the charge on design, sometimes it’s a joint effort. Winston’s lab in Gibraltar, for example, was built in-game and out of it at the same time. “They would put something into his lab and we would incorporate it and then we would put something in and they would re-do the level,” laughs Chamberlain. “So it was a lot of back and forth, it was pretty fun.”

Where there isn’t the bandwidth to produce a short - in a story that requires 20 characters in one shot, for example - it may become a comic, an alternative, and increasingly popular means of telling Overwatch’s story. “There have been times when we'll write a story and it actually was intended for one thing, like the Pharah comic for instance, was intended to be a short initially and then just because of a bunch of different circumstances, it became a comic.”

It may also become a 2D origin movie, which are simpler and more cost-effective, but give Overwatch’s writers a better opportunity to explore the inner workings of their characters. “Because most of them are narrated by the hero themselves,” says Chu, “it's a really good opportunity to look into the character's head and see how the character feels about themselves and different events. So we like to use those to tell origin stories because they're sort of uniquely suited to that.”

But Overwatch’s shorts are the main focus, not least because they bring its universe to life in such rich detail. Before we finish our interview, I ask Chu and Chamberlain what their favourites were.

“Barely edging out the others is probably Last Bastion,” says Chu, “and I'm really lucky that Jeff let me answer first so that I could swipe that one. It was really fun because I remember when the original idea was pitched, like everyone in the room kind of got it.”

“Like Michael said it's kind of hard to pick your favourite because I like them all for different reasons,” says Chamberlain, “but I think the one I still watch every once in awhile and it still kind of gets me is ‘Hero’.

“I just think it's really well crafted and I think it's a great example of what makes Overwatch good. Which means is it has a lot of heart, and the characters... you really grow to love them quite a bit.”

A second chance for Hong Kong's State Theatre

It was just about a year ago that I first learned about the plight of the State. Word came in the form of a long, impassioned email from Haider Kikabhoy, co-founder of Walk in Hong Kong, a tour group based in that city. With detailed enthusiasm the author lamented the dire predicament of "the last grand post-war theater building still standing in Hong Kong," as a deep-pocketed property developer made moves to replace it with a generic commercial tower. A story I've come to know all too well.

Hong Kong's State Theatre. A lone low-rise vestige in a forest of concrete giants.

Haider had reached out in the name of some kindred-spirit publicity for The State Theatre. One movie theater-phile's appeal to another to sound the proverbial alarm. At stake was Hong Kong's last brick and mortar link to its legendary cinema heritage.

While I never did get around to writing that post, (until now, that is) I tried my best to impart a few strategic advocacy tactics that I thought might win his cause some support.

His cause, I should mention, is actually Hong Kong's cause. Aside from Haider's deft ability to link The State Theatre with a sustainable future for that great city-state, there's very little direct connection to the building that he and his advocacy team at Walk in Hong Kong have been trying to save. At least no more than the rest of Hong Kong's seven-plus million residents. Therein lies his logic.

While Hong Kong grows richer and more cosmopolitan by the year, its local identity and human scale often gets squeezed out. Countless historic structures and the communities that made use of them have been mowed down to keep up with the ever expanding property market. It's the ultimate Catch 22 facing successful cities in the globalization era. The more desirable a city becomes - the more sophisticated - the more difficult it becomes to maintain those qualities that made it so appealing to begin with. All the more so when the city in question is the the economic masthead of a thriving region.

The parabolic trusses suspending the State Theatre's roof. This unique feature was one of the architectural highlights used to argue the case for why the State needs to be preserved.

Armed with little more than an acute sense of Hong Kong's history and a team of committed activists, Walk in Hong Kong set out to preserve a mid-century masterpiece. Ever the pragmatists, Haider and his cohorts knew from the start that the likelihood of getting the State recognized as a historic asset by the Antiques Advisory Board, Hong Kong's governing body tasked with evaluating architectural heritage, was probably not going to happen. After all, the developer honing in on the State had more or less bought out all the surrounding properties, thus had the advantage of forward momentum. What's more, aside from the most keen of observers, very few people in Hong Kong even knew, let alone cared, about the State's humdrum existence. Out of business since 1997, it's most recent incarnation as a snooker hall didn't attract much attention.

Haider and company were undeterred. Over the coming months they would craft an advocacy campaign that struck deep. The State's signature exposed parabolic roof structure became the formal logo for the campaign, a design feature which, once seen, is hard to forget. A half dozen or so short videos were produced to highlight the cultural and architectural merit of this once-grand building, each narrated by a notable Hong Kong personality.  They lobbied the Antiques Advisory Board, arguing their case with pin-point precision, while continuing to do strategic outreach with both local and international media. It took a a Herculean effort, but over time they managed to build an undeniable case as to the value of the State Theatre, turning an essentially forgotten building slated for the wrecking ball into a bona fide monument.

On Thursday, December the 8th, the Antiques Advisory Board designated the State Theatre a Grade 1 historic structure, ensuring that any attempts to demolish the building would face steep scrutiny. This marks a major victory in favor of reason, and proof that hard work and strategic advocacy can indeed make preservation the logical choice over business as usual.

Vintage night shot of the State Theatre when it was at the peek of its operation

But the work is not done for Haider and Walk in Hong Kong:

"The Save our State campaign is working on a couple of conservation proposals that will balance the interests of any future developer of the site with the exemplary heritage of The State Theatre. At the same time, we will continue to collect and celebrate people's memories of the theatre. Besides the distinctive architectural style of the urban landmark, the stories of people who have used and enjoyed The State Theatre is what makes the building great"

Bangkok, Thailand, do take note. Your Scala is on the line.
