New research says fun is fun, even if there's work to be done.
When to work and when to play? It’s a daily dilemma and most of us assume that if we get our work done first—write that report, study for that test, or do the chores—we will enjoy our leisure more. In other words, we think our time with a good book or Netflix will be sweeter if we’ve earned it. New research suggests, however, that we don’t know ourselves very well. Fun is fun, and we are perfectly capable of enjoying it in the moment even if drudgery lies ahead.
In the new study, published this week in Psychological Science, Ed O’Brien, a social psychologist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, set up a series of experiments with a colleague to test whether delaying gratification pays off the way we expect. In each experiment, some participants were asked to predict how much they thought they would enjoy something pleasurable if they knew work lay ahead. Other participants got to experience a leisure activity—a spa massage in the middle of midterms, for example; or a snack and a video game while waiting to take a demanding test—and rated their enjoyment of it. In every experiment, leisure proved to be just as enjoyable with work left undone despite predictions to the contrary.
What should we make of this time management equivalent of eating dessert first? I asked O’Brien, who studies pleasure and wellbeing, about the implications of his research for balancing work and leisure in our lives.
What does this study tell us about pleasure?
We know much less about the psychology of pleasure than we do about other components of wellbeing. Our basic finding is that people may too often postpone pleasure to get work done first. I think it is because we want to make it “worth it,” to really savor it and avoid spoiling it. In some sense, our findings suggest that people worry too much about pleasure, about crafting the “perfect time” to have it, which of course never comes and may not even matter much anyway.
You didn’t measure whether people got their work done in the end. What if pleasure gets in the way of that?
That’s a great point. What we can say is this: If you avoid “leisure now” because you’re afraid it’ll spoil the work, you might be right. Our studies don't speak to that. But if you avoid “leisure now” because you’re afraid it’ll spoil the leisure, you might be wrong.
You write that pleasure is extremely absorbing in the moment. Why? Is the brain’s reward system triggered no matter what?
That’s right. Signals of pleasure and pain largely exist for functional reasons: our brain sends out feelings of pleasure to tell us to keep doing that thing, and feelings of pain to tell us to avoid it. What better way to get the message out then to grab our undivided attention? Of course, some activities evoke stronger emotional reactions than others, but in general people’s attention during [a pleasurable event] tends to dominated by that event alone.
Might enjoying something pleasurable help get work done later?
In a lot of cases, yes – and this is where we’re going with our own research, testing longer-term consequences of “leisure first” and trying to identify the situations in which it helps versus hurts subsequent work. It can be much easier to tackle a difficult work problem once you’re in a positive mood, but I think our intuitions often point us to do precisely the opposite (e.g., “just power through”).
Are there situations where gratification is worth delaying?
Delaying gratification feels great. We’re not wrong about that. I think the thing to do when trying to figure out when to delay vs. when to cash is to try to figure out the less-costly option and go with that. Sometimes it’s extremely costly to engage in “leisure first” because it explicitly disrupts work; nobody is recommending you drink your celebratory beers just before running a 5K.
What can I tell my teenagers that will still encourage them to work?
The most productive workers tend to be those who don’t construe their work as work in the first place. Why are you wanting to write this article? Why am I wanting to do this research? I presume it’s not because we’re merely trying to get to the reward that comes after. This is the reward. Work is a form of pleasure. I think it’s helpful to try to re-think your work/leisure relationship: to stop thinking of them as separate entities that need to be precisely ordered and precisely managed if you want to live well. Both can provide benefits, at any time. Anytime you’re doing homework, it can provide intellectual stimulation and a chance to overcome challenges. Anytime you’re playing video games, it can provide a break and a chance to recharge. Both are important. Why choose one?
I might not enjoy the fun activity less, but I will enjoy the landing better as I will feel satisfaction from knowing the work id done.
When you come back from your activity to a clean house or a mess, it does make a difference in your post-activity satisfaction.
The exception being when my head isn't clear due to too much work.

Skinner, RJ 2006 , 'The beautiful, durable and mundane : exploring notions of value in craft and design practice, in the context of sustainability', Research Master thesis, University of Tasmania.
The project addresses issues of value and meaning in objects while at the same time considering more sustainable approaches to designing, making and consuming, through the reuse of already existing materials. By exploring concepts such as durability and ephemerality, the precious and the mundane, I have sought to show possibilities for reconciling the production of objects with reduced environmental effects of their production, use and disposal. This was an issue that tended to be neglected during the period of modernist design with its embracing of technology and the machine aesthetic. Since the 1960's with the emergence of designers and writers such as Victor Papanek and Buckminster Fuller there has been a growing concern to develop more sustainable approaches to design, and a broader consideration of meaning and engagement with objects. Some of the significant contemporary designers addressing these issues include Paolo Ulian, Hella Jongerius and Constantin and Laurene Boym. It is with reference to this field that I contextualise my practice.
Through the research project I have recognised the importance of a local focus, in supporting more sustainable approaches and engagement with objects. In the process I have identified factors specific to designing with reuse materials, and have used them to guide the direction of the research. These include: material availability, perceived value of materials, time or cost required to achieve a high finish, design complexity and sophistication, and perceived value of the finished product. What has also emerged from the research is the importance of commercial considerations in designing for sustainability, as I believe economically viable objects contribute more than purely symbolic ones in influencing the perceptions and habits of designers and consumers. The project has shown that engagement with objects and sustainable approaches, when considered as integral to a design's development, can be mutually beneficial and lead to aesthetically sophisticated and highly valued objects.

Gospel presentations have a disproportionate influence on the way people afterwards read the Bible. Therefore, it substantially shapes their biblical & theological framework.
(That last sentence summarizes one of my basic convictions). It’s worth reading again.
This single idea is the seed for both The Promises of God as well as The Creator King.
Typical gospel tracts and presentations are extremely cursory and confusing for many people, especially those who have not heard the gospel before. In a sense, the presentations are so simplified that they are difficult to understand.
Other tools have made serious efforts to share more of the Story (e.g. “C2C” & “The Story”). The problem however is that they tend drastically to truncate the biblical narrative, largely cutting out most of God’s revelation but omitting Israel.
I think people don’t give enough of the grand Story of the Bible. Doctrinal statements are simply signposts to the Story. They should not be confused with the Story itself. I’m not talking about mere storytelling. I refer to the one overarching narrative about which all of Scripture testifies.
The Promises of God helps people put the gospel back into its biblical context. How so?
I present the gospel in a way that is framed by the three major Old Testament covenants––the Abrahamic, the Mosaic, and the Davidic Covenant. Without these covenants, the New Testament simply does not make sense. (I was first inspired to this through this questions when I say how Paul equated the Abrahamic covenant and the gospel in Gal 3:8).
Why The Promises of God?
The Promises of God has a shorter version and a full version. I have a few goals for both versions of the presentations.
1. The Promises of God narrates the grand story both in a balanced way and in proportion to the Bible’s own emphases.
2. The presentation defines key terms and themes while also showing their interconnections. This is critical for giving people the sort of comprehension that reshapes worldview.
3. It can be further utilized during the process of discipleship. If the truth be known, solid evangelism is the beginning of good disciple-making. If our evangelism doesn’t make disciples (but only converts), then we have a problem.
4. It shows believers how to interconnect the New Testament and Old Testament. It especially shows how Jesus fulfills Israel’s history.
The pictures are symbolic of the various stages in the Story. They serve two purposes.
First, they help people remember how to share the gospel story. The simple shapes can be drawn in the sand or on a napkin, which enables people to reproduce it from memory. The written words then become a script in their heads during a conversation.
Second, the pictures reinforce the Story for listeners and so make it easier for them to recall the story as well.
Some presentations depend on limiting the number of statements or verses to 4–5. Others use alliteration. The Promises of God tells an integrated, coherent story but allows for easy recall because the pictures are simple and build on each other.
Someone may object that The Promises of God and The Creator King are too long for the average person to recall.
In truth, people everyday hear stories or watch movies with a lot more information that you’ll find in these booklets. A number of details are simply for context and to establish tone. Through strategic repetition, one’s attention is constantly brought back to focus on the major characters and issues.
For more details, check out the packet I created “How to Use” (which is available in both English and Chinese).
I would love to hear people using it as a tool for “seeker studies.” Over the span of a few conversations, one can get a good grasp for the grasp gospel Story. Let me know how it goes for you.
May 6, 2015 Introducing "The Creator King"
Thanks for this, I appreciate your emphasis on the covenants. I asked a mainland Chinese believer to read it. He said some of the words were a bit strange, perhaps Taiwanese. He also felt that talking about God’s 面子 was very odd. While I understand what you mean by it, maybe a Chinese person would think it was very strange to think of God in these terms? Just some ideas.
Lucy, thanks for your message. You are right that it may sound strange at first but that is true in many other cases, such as when new Christians hear a different usage of the verb “to justify” and other theological ideas that borrow daily language.
Also, so many terms differ from north to south to east. I literally have students in the south who don’t know words that are common in the north (and vise versa).
I have had this sort of conversation for years with people and it typically just takes a minute or so for them to recalibrate the fact I’m using such a common term in a theological manner.
You can check out so of my previous posts on this topic, such as how to talk about face. You can also search posts with key terms. I hope that helps! Thanks again.

The urban underserved: attitudes towards gaining full access to electronic medical records.
As the use of electronic medical records (EMRs) spreads, health-care organizations are increasingly offering patients online access to their medical records. Studies evaluating patient attitudes towards viewing elements of their records through secure, electronic patient portals have generally not included medically underserved patients or those with HIV/AIDS. The goal of this study was to gain insight into such patients’ attitudes towards online access to their medical records, including their doctors’ visit notes.
Qualitative study of four focus groups with adult patients in general adult medicine and HIV clinics at a large county hospital. Transcripts were analysed for themes using an immersion/crystallization approach.

A 16-year-old girl was flung to her death from a fairground ride after complaining to staff that her seatbelt would not buckle up, it has been claimed. The girl, named locally as Samantha Aguilar, was catapulted from the ride in El Paso, Texas, during Dia de Los Niños - a traditional Mexican holiday that celebrates children.
Aguilar was riding an attraction known as "The Sizzler" with two other friends – only one of them managed to stay seated. A 15-year-old friend was also allegedly thrown from the ride and is understood to have suffered only minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery at a local hospital.
An unnamed aunt of a third girl claimed Aguilar was "clinging on to her belt for dear life" and despite raising concerns with the ride operator they were allegedly told they "would be fine without" a working seatbelt. She added that she believed the attraction was built for two riders.
Sgt. Enrique Carillo from the El Paso Police Department said an investigation would take place into the incident, which happened on Friday 29 April. "We don't know the cause", he told the Corpus Christi Caller Times.
Aguilar was a student athlete at Hanks High School and her coach Kim Gomez said: "Online tributes from fellow students called for school members to wear the colour red to Hanks today in Aguilar's memory.
Bishop Mark J. Seitz, of the El Paso Catholic Diocese, said he is saddened by the tragedy. "Parish communities gather at times outside of church services, religious formation classes and other activities simply to enjoy one another and their families," Seitz said.
"When such a joyful event turns tragic the pain of the loss is even greater. The Diocese of El Paso deeply regrets this terrible loss. Words are incapable of expressing our sorrow at the death of this young girl.
"We know that no words will alleviate her family's pain but we will ask our merciful God to do through prayer what words are incapable of doing: bringing consolation in the midst of this sorrow."

Ways to support Wandering Bird!
Thank you to all of you who have told us how useful you've found this website and asked how you can make a small donation to keep it going. There are two really easy ways!
Firstly, if you EVER buy ANYTHING from Amazon, just pop onto this blog and click on ANY of our Amazon links– even if you don't want to buy that product!! We get a small commission just for sending you to Amazon- just like Google does!- and it doesn't cost you ANYTHING. Cool, huh?!!
NOTE- there are links to Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com in the post below. Make sure you click the correct one- it'll make things easier for you.
Secondly, you can Buy Us a Coffee! Just click the button below, or at the bottom of any of the blog posts and treat us to a coffee! Thank you so much- we really appreciate your support.
Right- on to our favourite resources!!
We use and love Co-Pilot, which is an app you download onto a phone or iPad. We use a second-hand iPad and mount it onto the dashboard, which works great for us. You want the ‘Caravan' option, even with a Motorhome.
Check out our dashboard mount (NOTE- do NOT mount your sat-nav/ iPad to your windscreen…. that is now illegal in many European countries. It needs to be in a place which does not obstruct the driver's view.
I fought getting a generator for a LOOOOONG time (didn't want to be THAT motorhome) but I have to be honest, this one has been great. We only ever use it far away from other people, (such as camping in the wilds of Austria!) and it's small enough to fit neatly under the bench seats. We almost didn't buy it because it isn't a well-known make, but I'm so glad we took a leap of faith with it!
This isn't just a ‘nice to have' in our motorhome- it's a necessity. With 3 laptops, 3 ipads and numerous phones, (I think we're up to 6 now!) we always have something which needs charging. We run this inverter as we're driving and everything is nicely charged when we arrive. We also use these car chargers to increase our charging capacity!!
Another necessity! Much as I love the idea of being in the middle of nowhere so that none of those 6 phones (see above!) are ringing, the only way we afford this lifestyle is via my husband's work and this blog- both of which require access to the internet on a regular basis. We love and use our little yellow Alcatel dongle, but it looks like that's now been discontinued- the black version is the newest update of it, so we'll be upgrading to that sometime soon.
NOTE- they don't sell the Alcatel dongle in the USA… and I'm not going to try to suggest an alternative which will work well. Let me know if you have a good one you'd recommend.
Wild camping wouldn't be the same without this awesome fire pit. I love that it folds flat, has a built-in groundsheet to protect against sparks, and can be classed as a BBQ if you're in a campsite which doesn't allow fires. **sssshhhh** As always, please use with caution and make sure it's out fully before you go to sleep.
If you are following us on Youtube, you'll know we LOVE our Mavic Pro Drone and we use it pretty much everywhere. (Just not in the rain!!) It's a brilliant drone, as is the smaller Spark- which is probably a better (and less expensive!) starting point. Don't forget to buy a case for your drone too- it's invaluable.
I love photography, although I'm honestly not great at it yet. Mostly I use my iPhone for EVERYTHING, as I always have it with me and it's easy to carry. Having said that, I'm hoping to improve my night shot & long exposure skills this year, which requires a ‘proper' camera. But mainly I just want this purple one!!
Most of our videos while travelling are shot on our Go Pro Hero 5. We got this one as it fits onto the motorbikes easily and is wide-angled. The stabilisation is ok- but I've just got the GoPro Hero 7 and it's AMAZING.Can't wait to try it out in Mexico when we go snorkelling with turtles…..!
If you want GoPro accessories, definitely check out Amazon- I found them MUCH cheaper than buying with GoPro directly… and they were sold by GoPro! Sneaky, aren't they?!?! These are the ones we have (so far….!) The jaws are AMAZING at holding the GoPro safely in all sorts of crazy places. The 3-way (no sniggering!) allows you to take selfie shots without an arm in the picture. Trust me- it's worth it!
Brilliant for when we're staying somewhere for a couple of days to work… and that means needing to charge laptops! Get one which can be recharged using 12v, so you can charge it up as you drive and it's ready for you to use during the evening/ next day.
This is a growing section, but the biggest question we get asked is what trailer do we use to tow our Motorbikes?? We use Motolug– and they are brilliant! The trailer collapses when we're not using it, so it can be stored away neatly, and it's taken our big bikes EVERYWHERE without any issues. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough.
Easy to move around and fits neatly in the boot- win-win. I also LOVE this sloping one from Ellie Bo. We use their ‘normal' crate at home when we're not travelling and we love the quality of it.
These are GENIUS. Now you can portion out one or two of your dog's meals and put it into the bowl, as well as some water for the journey. Great for when you're travelling on an overnight ferry in a Pet-Friendly cabin or driving long distances and don't want to pull the food out whenever you stop.
Ahhhh Pinterest. I love you, then I hate you, then I love you again. But I CANNOT spend 17 hours a day pinning random stuff just so that you love me too! Tailwind is awesome at that- it pins day and night so it looks like you're always active. And it's totally Pinterest Approved, so you can use it with confidence.
Oh dear lord. There are SO MANY blogging courses. Like, SOOOO many. How on earth do you know which ones are worth investing in? (And it is an investment- some of these things are EXPENSIVE!) I was lucky enough to get a few courses for my birthday (I think my family finally realised I was serious about this blogging lark) so I have taken enough now to compare and contrast. These are the ones which definitely helped move my blogging journey forward and didn't just repeat the same stuff you can find for free on Google!

A step-by-step process ensures better results, reliability.
More than ever, manufacturers must focus on establishing preventive maintenance programs as a base to build upon their competitive strategy within the market. After all, premium performance of production equipment drives profitability and can transform an organization’s operational success.
To ensure high performance, manufacturers should focus on implementing a worldclass preventive maintenance program, which occurs when organizations spend 90% or more of their time on preventive maintenance without requiring the machinery to be taken offline.
A focus on preventive maintenance benefits the organization in a number of ways. First, it significantly reduces the costs associated with maintenance. Breakdown maintenance costs can be as much as five times higher than the same activity done in a planned fashion, and that doesn’t even take into account the revenue loss from decreased product inventories.

A few weeks ago we visited Ålesund, Norway to photograph a destination wedding. We instantly fell in love with Norway’s scenery! It is absolutely breathtaking. Mountains and lakes everywhere you look.
We had a couple of days after the wedding to explore Ålesund and really enjoyed it! There are so many trails around town that you can hike and we explored a few of them. Anytime we go somewhere where there are hiking trails, we have to check them out!
Our favorite hiking trail was the Sukkertoppen trail. We hiked this one on our last day and the view was incredible!
And of course we had to check out some coffee shops while we were there, too! It didn’t take long to find my favorite one, Raccoon Coffee & More, located downtown. They have the best mochas! Not to mention, delicious acaì bowls and pastries. I wish I could have tried everything they had!
For lunch one day, we ate at Hoffman Café and they had a really good avocado sandwich. Definitely recommend checking them out if you ever visit!
This was actually the location of the destination wedding we photographed! It has an amazing overlook of the city, mountains, and lake. You can climb up a staircase from the edge of downtown up to the overlook and it’s not a far climb! I think it probably only took us about 15-20 minutes. They also have a cute little outdoor café for you to enjoy.
They also have a bunch of hiking trails at the top that you can explore!
We didn’t go inside the aquarium but the views outside were amazing! There’s a rocky beach and you can walk their trail around to the top of an overlook that looks down on the water and rocks. We loved this spot!
And, these are some things that you should keep in mind when planning a trip to Ålesund, Norway!
You’ll have to pay for parking, unless you’re staying at an airbnb and get parking permission there. We stayed at this airbnb and the host was wonderful! Would definitely recommend them!
You also have to pay to use the bathroom pretty much anywhere you go downtown, unless you’re at a café or restaurant. I’d recommend using hotel bathrooms if you’re desparate!
Make sure you account for the currency exchange. Ålesund is pretty expensive, so you’ll want to be prepared!
Pack for the right weather! It can be rainy and cold, but thankfully we were there when it was warm and sunny!
I tried to do a little vlogging while we were traveling; you can get a better idea of what we did on our trip by watching it below!
This is at midnight in Ålesund, Norway.
Did you enjoy this post? You might also love these!

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and we hope to see this continue in 2014. Many mainstream linguists studying phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and models that are of considerable interest to computational linguists. Similarly, models and tools developed by and for computational linguists may be of interest to theoretical linguists working in these areas. This workshop provides a forum for these researchers to interact and become exposed to each others' ideas and research.
The full workshop schedule, including accepted papers for the shared task track! We look forward to seeing you in Berlin.
Content: Long papers should be original, topical, and clear. Completed work is preferable to intended work, but in any event the paper should clearly indicate the state of completion of the reported results. We also encourage short submissions, which can cover research, or can describe important problems (new or old).
Submission Format: The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Submissions should be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgement section; self-citations should appear in third person. Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings, and long papers should not exceed eight (8) pages, short papers should not exceed four (4) pages. One additional page is allowed for the References section in both cases. However, all material other than the bibliography must fall within the first 8/4 pages! We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word document template that will available on the ACL conference web site. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including font size restrictions.
Special thanks to reviewers who were recruited late in the process to deal with an unexpected number of submissions!
Morphological analysis and generation of previously unseen word forms is a fundamental problem in NLP the accuracy of which is crucial for the success of many downstream tasks. Learning morphological inflection patterns from labeled data is a current challenge that is addressed by a number of papers published in various ACL-related venues. To bring together researchers working on inference problems related to morphology, SIGMORPHON is hosting a shared task on morphological reinflection in 2016, held at ACL in Berlin, Germany.
In the shared task, participants will build systems that can learn to solve different reinflection problems using labeled data. An example of English reinflection is the conversion of "ran" to its present participle, "running". Specifically, a participant system needs to be able to (1) produce inflected word forms from a lemma, and (2) generate a specific inflected word form from some other labeled inflected form, and (3) generate inflected word forms from unlabeled word forms of the same lemma. All submitted systems will be compared on a held-out test set.
Participants will also be invited to describe their system in a short paper for the SIGMORPHON 2016 workshop. The task organizers will write an overview paper with descriptions and summaries of the different approaches taken and their results.
Questions about the shared task can be sent to sigmorphon-shared-task-2016-organizers@googlegroups.com. More information about the task, including training and development data sets for the target languages of varying morphological complexity is available at the shared task home page.

After several weeks of planning with some neighborhood girlfriends, the much anticipated cookie exchange was a sweet success!
From greek butterball, to chewy molasses spice, and a savory rosemary shortbread, we had more than 18 different varieties of cookies. Each guest shared their cookies' story which ran the gamut from family recipes, to Washington Post award winners, and ethnic favorites.
Conveniently, the party was just next door to my house so Andy took Roscoe for the afternoon and I enjoyed my first solo event.
I ditched my nursing bra and put on my hostess hat, greeted guests, stuffed myself with sweets and snacks, caught up with old friends and made a few new ones. The biggest prize was the box I carried home that was filled with a tantalizing variety of cookies that will last well into next week... or not!

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen “was close to resigning” from President Trump’s administration after she was blasted for failing to secure the U.S.-Mexico border against a caravan of Central Americans, a report says.
President Trump’s best hope of draining the Green Swamp has just been nixed by his Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly.
In a stunning Friday announcement, President Donald Trump announced that he had selected General John Kelly as his new chief of staff, replacing former Republican National Committee (RNC) chief Reince Priebus.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly told lawmakers he expects construction of President Donald Trump’s border wall to be “well underway” within two years. The wall will be built in sections with priority given to areas were current gaps exist.
Ten days before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes over the executive branch, his top cabinet nominees are scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill in front of the appropriate Senate committees before upper chamber votes on whether to confirm them for federal service.

First, congratulations on your book release!
Before we move on and take a closer look at "Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace", we'd like to introduce the driving forces behind this impressive volume to our readers.
How did the two of you meet, and how did the project come about?
Andi: I went to graduate school for jewelry design (no less) with a goal to create goth jewelry. I did do that and wrote a thesis on Baudelaire and melancholy and quickly realized I loved researching more than anything... researching 1980s goth to be specific. During my research, I felt that there wasn't enough on 1980s goth - there was plenty on 1990s through 2000s but the 80s seemed to be lacking. Why not do it myself? I then convinced Marloes, because of her blog "Now This is Gothic" to help me with the photo archive.
Marloes: Andi started talking to me on Tumblr about her interests in 80s gothic. We both had in mind we want to make a book about and we decided why not do it now? I’d not have done it on my own and thought of it as a good opportunity to use the research I already did out of own interest and for my blog.
When I unpacked your book, I was immediately impressed with the chosen format: In its size, the book looks quite similar to a vintage vinyl single record – literally an "outsider“ in terms of its look when being placed among its future fellows in one’s personal library, even though I have to admit I own quite the extensive collection.
Was this "musical“ size and vintage look intended from the beginning, or something that naturally evolved from the work-in-progress?
Marloes: We wanted a "luxury photo book"-size, but we slowly released that old photos can’t be spread out over 40cm by 30cm and that it wasn’t realistic. The publisher came up with this size without consulting us, it was decided for us, but I think the square actually was a suiting shape and size to work with. Also, because of the compact size the book is more affordable for customers. The choice for white and a minimalistic design were on purpose and a special wish of mine – I wanted the book to look very different from all those cliché black goth books with dark imagery.
Andi: My intentions when beginning the book was to make something as visually beautiful as Valerie Steele's Gothic: Dark Glamour as she is an inspiration of mine. However, it turned out differently and I'm happy with the result. The white contrasts well against other goth books.
With this book, your main focus remains set on the nursery ground of the post punk and goth movement, and follows its evolution from a kind of local community club phenomena in the late 70s to a commercial mass frenzy, "gothic for the masses", in the early 90s. More than 30 years later, many of the protagonists from this golden era have literally plunged into darkness or, in their extreme, disappeared into the other world.
Was it difficult to locate the last remaining witnesses of these times and places, get them to speak about the past and even convince them to open up the archives of their youth to you?
Andi: Yes, it was very difficult... this is one of the main reasons why the project took so long to complete. Gathering high quality images from the 1980s was no easy task. For every 10 requests we got one - needless to say, there were many dead ends with photo gathering. However, when we did receive an amazing photo, it was like a tiny miracle happened!! The strangest part, and perhaps a real show of age difference, was that many original goths didn't own or know how to use a scanner.
Marloes: Their goth youth are not their number one priority these days and even though they were interested and wanted to help and send you stuff, they didn’t get around to it. And yes, there were also some (obscure) bands that I was not able to trace back in time or via internet which is a shame.
You must have had hard times choosing which authentic materials to use in the end. Besides the first generation goths and their personal treasury chests, which sources did you use, which obstacles did you have to overcome on your way – and how long did it take you to compile it all in the end?
Andi: We also sourced photographers that had documented the scene, store owners such as Manic Panic's Tish & Snooky and NOIR Leather, authors, band members and even designers like Nettwerk designer Steven R. Gilmore. My life motto is "It doesn't hurt to ask" and in this case, it worked a lot of the time. It took 2 years of interviewing and about 6 months of writing to synthesize all the material I gathered. The way it came together was quite magical.
Marloes: Technical faith decides for you: lots of things don’t make it in the book because they aren’t high quality enough to get printed in that size.
The assortment of winklepickers on the last pages of the book appears like a cabinet of curiosities to me – you chose to present them like pieces of art in a museum, pictured prominently against a white background, while original clothing from that time isn’t staged like that and remains exclusive to the original photographs only.
Why did the shoes need have to have a chapter of their own?
Marloes: I never wanted the shoes to be at that prominent spot in the book, but only merged in a style/clothing chapter. That the photos were photographed like a catalogue type of way, was planned though. I like the minimalist way to display and I also think the shoes are so very typical 'goth' for the 80s version of goth there had to be more than 2 photos of them in the book for sure.
Andi: The idea of having mini sections was something planned for a while and the shoes were something we had obtained. Everyone loves winklepickers and I think it's one of the most recognizable attributes of original goth style but they are otherwise hard to see in photographs because they are on the feet!
With the dawning of the 80s, a vivid culture of goth-toned festivals, underground magazines and even music videos had developed. Why did you decide to only briefly touch upon these events (even early festivals like Equinox, London 1983), and remain focused on the club scene instead?
Andi: We touched upon a few aspects of the festival scene and included some pictures in as well. But I felt like, from my research, goths that I interviewed really found home in the club scene since it was a place to gather often. Clubs were the place where they found others to relate to... sure, some did mention festivals but there weren't festivals around the world like there were clubs.
Marloes: Decisions like this have to do with which material is available in a period of 2 research years. I planned a section on the "Dominion" video by The Sisters of Mercy, but that didn’t find its way through because it was hard to find photographs. The interview with the director of the video for this section also didn’t make the book because of shortage in supporting photo and fact-material. I wanted a photo section of Pandora’s Box festival (Rotterdam, NL) or Nosferatu Festival (Denmark) but these photos were hard to acquire. For British goths it might feels like that we left out so many of their events, but the book isn’t just about England.
The book is a marvellous montage; visual puzzle pieces of the part are set against the fragmented, spoken word. Taken from the visual richness of more than 200 pages, could you choose, name and describe one quotation and one picture that are your personal favourites from this volume, and why?
Marloes: Thanasis Zlatanos of Nekropolis, the man with the synth photographed at a greek temple – it kind of x-rays a more raw and down to earth postpunk style. At some point Zin-Francois from Madame Edwarda says their [Japanese] version of goth wasn’t different from the Western (British) version, except that they sung in Japanese. I disagree, since I believe that for instance the rhythm of your language already influences the way you compose.
Goth is dead, long live the Goth: When it comes to the music, looks and events of today’s goth community and its state of mind, what are your personal thoughts on these implementations of the original spirit, and do you think it will possibly be reborn somewhere, sometime?
Andi: From an American perspective, it's hard to see a lot of spirit from my personal experience. There is a small resurgence of bands and kindred spirits out there who love and live the music but there is a lack of DIY. In the final chapter of the book, I (and others) say that it's too easy to go to a store and find that "goth look"... however, I do know people who make the commitment to the subculture. Goth is a commitment and it's not quite prevalent in the US visually. I do see it more often in Europe and South America. Sadly, I do not think it will be reborn in the same way - our daily lives are way too busy and the internet has basically ended subcultures altogether. Many think that just wearing black constitutes one as a goth - hence the "healthgoth" trend.
Marloes: The original spirit - be cool, dress to impress and do-it-yourself - never went away, but it didn’t maybe ‘look’ like the original 80s spirit past decades?. I’d say the rebirth (more like 'copy') of the 80s version of this ‘spirit’ is going on for a while now. The modern minimal dark postpunk isn’t far from the style and mindset of ‘back in the days’. The only thing that is weird is that people from the 80s used the newest instruments and products, while everyone now is trying to be retro and true with their vinyl, tapes, ancient sounding recordings and analogue synths. I guess playing from just your MAC give us too many '90s and '00s cyber flashbacks?
Reading "Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace" in style: Just for fun, could you make up a small picture on how the perfect reading situation would look like in terms of surroundings, music, whatever?
Andi: I know my perfect situation would be red wine, maybe some good background music like The Sisterhood's "The Gift" album and a cat by my side.
Once you’ve tasted blood, you usually want more: You digged up valuable sources for this book; can we expect to see further projects of this kind from both of you in the near future?
Marloes: I’ve been thinking of an online archive that isn’t a blog for a while now, one that shows worldwide bits of the dark side of new wave. Sometimes I wonder what Andi and I will do with all the cut-out material of the book that is still in our archive… There are no plans now. For now, my academic studies evolve into a MSc in history and philosophy of science, but I also plan to continue with photographic research.
Andi: Yes, definitely. I figure this to be the first of many great contributions to the scene. I have been working with Fred Berger of Propaganda Magazine for a year now on a book of his photography. Alongside this, I have a few similar projects in mind - all too early now to speak of but they are definitely brewing.

Consider the distribution method before you design your direct mail piece. Presumably the campaign is getting sent out via the US mail. Pay attention to the final size, and get some preliminary postage costs to guide you. Will a postcard work? What size? How about a letter campaign, or a single-sheet, folded brochure? Are you producing something more complex, like a box or other dimensional package?
It's foolish not to work alongside your printer and your mailing specialist (who may be one and the same). Before you get too far along in your campaign development, you must figure out the final size of the printed piece/s. This will guide your designer and copywriter.
Less important to the copywriter but critical to your designer (and to your bottom line) is the paper spec'd for your direct mail campaign. Paper is generally the most expensive element in a print campaign. It will influence the printing itself, the design, the final cost, and definitely the postage. While lighter paper stock will keep your postage costs down, it may have a negative influence on your campaign. Admit it: heavier paper stock connotes a sense of “gravitas” and “class” (think of things like letterhead and diplomas).
What determines whether your job prints on offset presses or digital equipment? It’s a combination of elements. Your final quantity matters, as does the format of your project. Presumably you’re working with a printer who offers both. He or she should be consulted. Ask your printer for advice and suggestions to help optimize your printed piece for whichever printing technology is most appropriate for your needs.
Some rules of thumb to guide you: if you’re printing a few thousand or less, and your final size is pretty standard (think in multiples of 8 ½ x 11”), your job’s a good candidate for digital printing. Also, if you need something printed immediately, you’ll want it done digitally.
Before studies indicated how effective a personalized direct mail campaign can be, direct mail campaigns consisted of a static printed piece: every recipient received the exact same thing. Those days are coming to an end.
Today’s marketers use data they’ve collected and mined to personalize their direct mail campaigns. Whether you’re inserting recipients’ names on a mailing piece or swapping out large amounts of copy and visuals, you have tremendous opportunities to create memorable print campaigns that speak directly to each person on your list.
Personalized campaigns must be produced on digital presses. Luckily, OnFulfillment can support the most complicated personalization requirements, including co-branding and other variable data printing requirements. We also offer a marketing campaign platform that can support Personalized URLS (PURLS), QR Codes and other technologies to integrate your direct mail and digital messaging.
Bottom line? You must include your printer partner in your early conversations about every direct mail campaign. Request to see samples. Ask for consultations about out-of-the-box formats. Learn what can be done using your own customer and prospect databases.
Printing technologies have come a long way from the dusty old print shops most people still conjure up. Printing is high tech and dynamic. The personalization capabilities will blow your mind.

Rice football opens their 2018 season against the Panthers of Prairie View A&M. Here are a few things to know before the game.
The 2018 season is finally here and the first objective for the new-look Owls is matching last season’s win total out of the gate. Rice holds a perfect 1-0 record all-time against PVAMU, defeating the Panthers 65-44 at Rice Stadium in 2016. Here are three important things to know about the Panthers before the game.
FCS teams typically represent a step down from their FBS counterparts. While it’s true the talent gap tends to be fairly wide, Rice would be well to respect their opponent – and in more than just a coach-speak fashion.
Prairie View is second in the SWAC in wins since 2007. That includes seven winning seasons including three-straight above .500 campaigns entering 2018. Their offense has been prolific. This year four different Panthers were named to the All-SWAC first or second team: running back Dawonya Tucker, offensive lineman Roderick Smith, wide receiver Markcus Hardy and tight end Zarrian Holcombe.
Yes, Rice has the edge in talent. But too many first-game jitters will give the Panthers a chance. FCS or not, this is not a team the Owls want to let hang around.
Like Rice, Prairie View A&M will also field a first-year head coach. Eric Dooley brings an impressive resume to his new post, most recently serving as the offensive coordinator at Grambling State. His time with Tigers was fruitful. Grambling ranked as high as fourth in the nation in scoring during his tenure, topping out at a jaw-dropping 65 touchdowns and averaging 470 yards per game in 2015.
But that was Grambling State, not Prairie View. It’s reasonable to assume that the Panthers will incorporate much of the same principles that made Dooley’s offenses so successful at Grambling, but the Owls don’t have any live-action evidence to back up that assumption. To some extent, Rice is flying blind. Thankfully, so is Prairie View.
Morton played sparingly at quarterback last season, attempting 17 passes. He was pushed out to wide receiver (three catches, 21 yards), thanks to the emergence of Neiko Hollins, who claimed the starting quarterback role midway through last season and did not let go. With Hollins out of the picture after transferring this summer, the door is open once again for Morton to take the reigns.
It was Morton who started for Panthers in their 2016 meeting with the Owls, the only other game between these two schools. He threw for 278 yards on 18-of-29 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also picked up 47 yards on the ground, including a 39-yard touchdown run.
Rice football has a healthy dose of new faces in their wide receiving corps this year. Led by Aaron Cephus, a few other pass catchers have emerged.
Aaron Cephus is the lone name at the top of the box scores from the 2017 season. The then-freshman receiver hauled in 25 receptions for 622 yards. He’s a raw, big-bodied athlete with enormous potential. His 24.9 yards per reception led all of college football in 2017, but there’s more to Cephus than that one statistic – just like there’s more to the Rice receiving corps than that one player.
Rice football doesn’t return any other receivers, outside of Cephus, who had more than four receptions in 2017. That’s an almost incomprehensible amount of turnover, but the clean slate has opened up opportunities for several players on the roster, both old and new. If Rice is going to be successful this fall they’re going to need several of these players to step into meaningful roles.
The most likely player to emerge from that mix is sophomore wideout, Austin Trammell. Dubbed “Mr. Consistent” for his reliability and soft hands throughout camp, Trammell is one of, if not the most sure-handed player on this roster. Despite only registering four receptions for 51 yards last season, Trammell could be the early favorite to lead the Owls in receptions this year.
Trammell has spent a good amount of time out of the slot early on this fall, a place that he has excelled. His quick release and elusiveness across the middle should open up opportunities for the guys on the outside.
He’s already proven that he’s not the kind of inside man that can be covered by your average linebacker. The 5-foot-10 receiver has a quick twitch and attacks the ball over the middle, showing a certain amount of fearlessness that begs his quarterbacks to trust him with the ball in critical moments.
Head coach Mike Bloomgren couldn’t be more thrilled with the growth Trammell has shown this offseason, acknowledging that Trammell is “good at everything” and at the center of the Owls’ plans on offense this year.
The third man who has separated himself from the pack was somewhat of a surprise this fall. True freshman Brendan Harmon is playing at too high of a level to not be on the field. That’s not just one man’s opinion.
Meanwhile, Harmon is humbling working on getting the ins and outs of this new offense covered. His focus this offseason has been simple: “I’ve just been trying to dedicate myself to learning the playbook so I can come in and make plays when it’s my turn,” he admitted, modestly. For Harmon, that turn might come sooner, rather than later.
Those three, along with redshirt sophomore Rhett Cardwell and versatile running back and converted wide receiver Austin Walters moving into the slot out of the backfield, will be the primary wideouts this season. Cephus has the experience. Trammell has the hands. Harmon has the size. Each of them brings a unique set of skills to the field and all of them will be needed for this passing attack to improve from where it was a season ago.
So far, so good. “Everybody is doing their job,” relayed Cephus. And, as Bloomgren has stressed throughout his tenure so far, it’s all about the process. For the Rice wide receivers, the process is just beginning and soon enough it will be time to put all of those techniques and tools onto the field at game speed. Each man brings something a little different and, in this case, the sum of the whole looks to be better than the parts.
“I just want to do my best, make plays, and have fun,” summed up Harmon, excitedly before adding one all-important closing comment, “And get some wins.” It looks like the Owls might have enough weapons in their receiving corps to do just that.
Rice football has finished inside the top eight in the AP Poll three times in school history and inside the Top 25 nine times. Will they return to the polls any time soon?
When people discuss the ceiling for Rice football they often revert to lamenting the struggles the program has gone through in recent memory. It’s true, the 1-win campaign from a year ago was tough to stomach, but Rice football has put together several memorable campaigns, highlighted by three seasons in which the Owls finished inside the top eight of the AP Poll.
Rice landed right on the edge in 1946, finishing at No. 10 before breaking through a few years later. The incredible 1949 season prompted the construction of Rice Stadium in 1950 and has been recognized as the most successful team in school history. Rice football achieved a program-best No. 5 ranking that season, but it wasn’t long before Jess Neely has the Owls back near the top of the college football mountain.
After hovering around .500 for three years, Neely pushed the Owls back to No. 6 in the nation in 1953, capping off the year with yet another Cotton Bowl win. The 9-2 record marked the fourth time in school history that the Owls had won as many games, falling just shy of the Owls’ 10-win 1949 season.
Once more, after a three-season break from the national stage, Neely’s 1957 campaign broke into the upper echelon of the sport. That squad finished 7-4 with a loss in the Cotton Bowl. It also marked the last time that Rice would finish in the top 10 and the second-to-last time that the Owls would be ranked in the final AP Poll at all.
Outside of a 7-4 season that pushed the Owls as high as No. 7 before finishing at No. 17, Rice hasn’t come that close to finishing as a ranked squad. 10-win seasons in 2008 and 2013 both put the Owls to the edge, but untimely losses (including a Liberty Bowl loss following the 2013 campaign) kept the Owls on the outside looking in.
A Top 10 ranking isn’t as farfetched as it might sound. UCF’s storybook run last season that ended in a Peach Bowl victory over Auburn vaulted the Knights into the No. 6 spot in the final polls. That came just four years removed from a Top 10 finish under George O’Leary. Ranked teams at Rice are still within reach, as is the Top 10 if the Owls can put all the pieces together at the same time.
Head Coach Scott Pera and Rice basketball have picked up a commitment from 2019 forward Ben Moffat, a priority walk-on from Wichita Falls, Tx.
The football season is quickly approaching but that hasn’t given Rice basketball head coach Scott Pera any time to rest. The Owls have only recently returned from a tour of Spain in which they won three exhibition games, including a victory over NBA star Ricky Rubio. It didn’t take Pera long after coming back to the states to start adding to his 2019 recruiting class.
Ben Moffatt, a 6-foot-8 forward from Rider High School in Wichita Falls, Tx announced his decision in favor of the Owls on Twitter on Tuesday evening.
Moffat asserted the decision to commit to Rice was “an easy choice” to make. He pointed at the stellar academic reputation combined with a supportive community. “The coaches stress the importance of being involved with the Rice fans and the campus community,” Moffat said. He’s ready to join that community and willing to work hard for his spot on the court.
Rather than playing under an athletic scholarship, Moffat will be a priority walk-on for the Owls next season. That’s a challenge he’s ready to face. “Every player has to work hard,” Moffat explained, “but as a walk-on, I’ll need to work harder than anybody else. I need to be the first one at practice and the last one to leave, and that’s something I’m prepared to do.
Last season Moffat averaged 8.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. He has his eyes set on improving each of those numbers his senior year before joining the Owls in 2019. Hopefully alongside a recruiting class that has several spots still to be filled before the class is complete.

In response to concerns raised by employers and to protect worker privacy, the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) recently amended its recordkeeping regulations to eliminate the requirement that larger employers submit certain information electronically. The final rule rescinds the mandate that establishments with 250 or more employees had to electronically submit information from OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) and OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) to OSHA each year.
OSHA’s electronic recordkeeping rule, enacted during the Obama administration, required large employers to submit a wide range of sensitive data, including descriptions of workers’ injuries and body parts affected, that might be traced back to identify particular employees. Employers raised numerous concerns about how the data might be used if it were to become publicly available either intentionally, inadvertently, or under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), noting that the disclosure of such information would pose a serious breach of employees’ privacy. Many of these concerns were expressed in comments submitted by the E-Recordkeeping Coalition, a group of employers and trade associations. Indeed, data security concerns were validated during a test run of OSHA’s injury tracking application when the Department of Homeland Security informed OSHA of a possible breach of the system. While that potential security issue has since been resolved, it gave credence to the Coalition’s belief that such a large collection of sensitive data would inevitably encounter malware or incentivize cyber-attacks on the U.S. Department of Labor’s IT system.
As OSHA itself acknowledged, by preventing routine government collection of information that may be quite sensitive, OSHA is avoiding the risk that such information might be publicly disclosed under FOIA or otherwise. While the new rule does not address all of the concerns that have been raised, it will better protect personally identifiable information or data that could be traced back to specific individuals. The final rule does not alter an employer’s duty to maintain OSHA Forms 300 and 301 on-site, and OSHA will continue to obtain these forms as needed through inspections and enforcement actions.

SIFMA Publishes Recommendations for Effective Cybersecurity Regulatory Guidance | RuleSphere International, Inc.
New York, NY, October 20, 2014 - SIFMA today published its "Principles for Effective Cybersecurity Regulatory Guidance," that provides regulators with SIFMA members' insight on productive ways to harmonize and create effective cybersecurity regulatory guidance. SIFMA's goal is to promote a collaborative approach to cybersecurity that can foster innovation and strengthen efforts to protect financial industry operations and most importantly our clients. This paper is one in a series of initiatives undertaken by SIFMA focused on enhancing the industry's cybersecurity preparedness and practices.
"Cybersecurity is a top priority for the financial services industry, which is dedicating significant resources to protect the integrity of the markets and the millions of Americans who use financial services every day. Effective and consistent regulatory guidance is a critical component of the broader cyber defense effort, as it promotes best practices and accountability across the financial sector," said Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA president & CEO. "Cyber attacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication, and it is critical that the industry and government collaborate to mitigate these threats. We appreciate that the public sector has embraced this partnership and we will continue to offer our insights to help them in their work."
Specifically, SIFMA's paper outlines ten foundational principles that can serve as a framework for robust and efficient cybersecurity guidance. SIFMA's recommendations are meant to help regulators as they move forward with plans to review, update and harmonize their cybersecurity policies, regulations, and guidance, in order to strengthen the financial sector's defense and response to cyber attacks.
SIFMA members believe there is an opportunity to enhance regulatory guidance beyond existing requirements to improve the protection of the financial sector, and that a dynamic and collaborative partnership between the industry and government is the most effective path forward to accomplishing this goal. The benefits of this partnership approach led to the development of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which SIFMA is actively promoting within its membership and encourages regulators to use as a universal structure that can be leveraged as a starting point for creating a unified approach to cybersecurity.
Importantly, SIFMA's paper notes that harmonization of regulatory guidance across agencies and across borders is essential to avoid confusion in the industry and the duplication of efforts. SIFMA recommends the development of an inter-agency harmonization working group that could coordinate the review of cybersecurity regulations, ensure consistency and receive private sector input.

Jaden was discharged after 2 nights at Tawakal. His fever subsides entirely and doctor claimed that he has got viral fever (thank GOD it wasn’t H1N1) and the rashes was probably due to his allergy to penicillin (a strong ingredients in one of the prescribe antibiotic and fever medicine). The nebulizer is effective. It reliefs his breathing which was due to phlegm. Thanks all for the well wishes.
rachael's also had side effects fr the antibiotics...she was having diarrhoea so we had to switch her milk for the time being.
