Two steel-framed commercial blocks will provide a central element to a prestigious mixed-use development taking shape on London’s south bank. Martin Cooper reports.
Steel tonnage: 6,300tOne of the largest construction projects to be undertaken in central London this century is currently under way on the south bank of the River Thames.
Situated between the London Eye and busy Waterloo Station, Southbank Place covers an area of more than 20,000m² and consists of two commercial blocks, and six residential towers along with new retail units, restaurants and cafés, all of which are located around the existing Shell Tower, which will become one of the centerpieces when the project completes in 2019.
The two new commercial office blocks, known as One and Two Southbank Place are both steel-framed structures, containing 11 floors and 17 floors respectively.
Apart from one residential tower, the two commercial structures are the first buildings to take shape on what is already a very busy and logistically challenging site.
Faced with the usual traffic, noise and lack of space all inner-city projects have to cope with, Southbank Place will eventually have a maximum workforce of 1,600 people.
The steel erection has been carried out immediately behind the large-scale groundworks programme, which is currently progressing throughout the site.
Viewed from outside of the hoardings, the project is a forest of tower cranes – there are currently 16 cranes – needed to feed and lift the various materials being used.
Severfield began its steel erection programme in January. Work was able to commence once the concrete formed basements were completed, along with the slip-formed cores.
Building One has two cores, a main core that reaches the full height of the structure, and a secondary satellite core that only serves the lowest five levels. Building Two has just the one centrally-positioned core.
The tube line actually passes under the structure’s south eastern corner and consequently no piles could be installed in this area. In order to not position columns over this important transport link, this corner, that houses the main entrance of the building, slopes inwards from the sixth floor down, with the aid of two raking columns.
These raking columns make the building structurally pull itself towards this corner. To counterbalance this, temporary bracing has been installed, which has to remain in position until the structure’s floors are complete.
Both buildings have used cellular beams throughout for efficient service integration. However, unlike Building One, which has some internal columns, Building Two has none, with clear uninterrupted spans reaching a maximum length of 17m.
The north and west elevation of Building Two features a series of outdoor spaces accommodated on 2m-wide cantilevers. These spaces extend upwards from level 6, and they are formed by two further raking columns positioned at fourth floor level that extend up to the underside of the sixth floor.
The uppermost floor of Building Two is known as the entertainment area. Formed with 12m-high elliptical members, it is a glazed pavilion that is set back from the floors below and offers access to a rooftop terrace. Adjacent to this feature the structure also has a rooftop two-storey plant enclosure.
Meanwhile, Building One’s standout feature are the five further outdoor terraces, formed as the structure steps in at levels five, eight and nine, and Level 11 is a plant space.
Both blocks will have different cladding systems, with Building Two finished with curtain walling, and One predominantly clad with large precast panels weighing up to 12 tonnes each.
Both buildings are aiming to achieve a BREEAM “Excellent’ rating, and are due to complete towards the end of 2018.
The project is one of the first to be operating as an Ultra Site under the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
Richard Henderson of the SCI discusses the challenges of connecting structural steel to concrete cores – the motivation for a forthcoming publication on the subject commissioned by Steel for Life.
Members of the public passing the Southbank Place development cannot fail to notice the cranes – but structural engineers will note the cellular beams and the several concrete cores which currently dominate the site. The connections to the cores are achieved by welding attachments to cast in steel plates positioned as the cores were constructed. These sorts of connections are full of challenges – including the accommodation of tolerances, the achievement of the design intent, which is often nominally pinned behaviour, and the transfer of the forces from the plate into the core walls. The Southbank Place development also includes inclined columns, so some connections must transfer both shear and tension concurrently.
The design of nominally-pinned connections is covered by the Green Book on Simple Joints¹. These joints are not designed for coincident vertical and horizontal forces, as the tying check is entirely separate to the verification for the vertical loads. The necessary rotation of the joint is achieved primarily by bearing deformation in the bolt holes.
Real axial loads in beams, from inclined columns, or because of voids in the floor plates around the core, mean connections must be designed for concurrent axial and vertical loads – and are thus immediately outside the provisions in the Green Book. Perhaps more significantly, the axial load may demand substantial connection components, which will certainly make the joint stiffer. Without careful thought, the joint may not behave as the assumed nominal pin. The necessary provision to accommodate core construction tolerances may mean that the eccentricity of the vertical load is significantly more than commonly assumed, increasing the moment applied at the joint.
Embedded plates are cast in with arrangements of shear studs and reinforcement connected to the back of the plate. A clear design model is needed – which components transfer the vertical force, and which carry the axial/tying force and the inevitable moment? For the concrete designer, there is the challenge of transferring these forces into the core, often through congested reinforcement.
Professional interfaces also have an impact on the design of the joint between steel and concrete. The structural engineer generally determines the steel and concrete member sizes, designs the concrete structure and provides connection forces to design the connections. At the embedded plate, the design responsibilities of the two parties come together, with local forces to be transferred to the core concrete being dependant on the detail developed – perhaps by the steelwork contractor working in isolation.
This discussion describes some of the very real challenges with connections to cores which have been addressed at the Southbank Place development. Guidance on how to manage this important interface will appear later this summer in a new design guide commissioned by Steel for Life.

People have used spices and herbs to flavour foods for thousands of years. And, over the centuries, different regions developed their own styles of cooking. When I need inspiration to produce new recipes, I simply consider a certain country and the traditional herbs and spices with which it’s associated.
The Sichuan Province in southwest China is known for its scorching, spicy cuisine. In fact, most of this region’s foods are seasoned with chillies – not just fresh, but dried, powdered, fried and stewed.
The foods of Malaysia and Singapore blend shrimp paste, lemongrass, tamarind and garlic. The famous laksa and char kway teow clearly exhibit the depth and passion of this part of the world for its unique foods.
The bouquet of saffron, turmeric, nutmeg and cloves takes you on a journey through Morocco, where aromatic, slow-cooked tagines are cooked over coals to produce mouth-watering masterpieces.
Indonesia introduced the world to the deliberate combination of contrasting flavours and textures (hot, sweet, sour and spicy). Indonesian dishes cleverly combine spices such as cardamom, galangal, ginger, cumin and cloves. Who could resist a bowl of nasi goreng, a gado gado platter or a stunning beef rendang?
In the Netherlands, the Dutch regularly enjoy a lavish feast known as a rijsttafel (rice table). Invented by the Dutch colonists in Indonesia, the rijsttafel brings together a large number of small side dishes – sometimes up to 50 – which are served all at the same time. The range includes curried meats, steamed seafood, fragrant rices, fruits, eggs in spicy sauces and anything else the kitchen deems fit to serve up.
In this issue of Club Marine Magazine, I have drawn on these inspirations to assemble some of my favourite spicy dishes from across the globe. We start with soy and ginger glazed chicken, a Chinese-influenced Malaysian recipe that combines cinnamon quills, whole star anise, cloves, soy, ginger and melted palm sugar to flavour and glaze two chicken breasts, which are then served with rice.
The fried eggs in chilli and soy dish is a Singaporean classic that uses shrimp paste (belachan), lemongrass, ginger and chilli. It’s then simmered down with tomato, dark soy and lime juice and completed by folding golden deep-fried eggs through the mix.
There are also two recipes representing northern and eastern Africa: the lamb kebabs with artichoke and preserved lemon salsa, which are spicy, sweet and delicious; and the Ethiopian doro wat, with its 12 spices roasted and ground into the famous berbere spice blend.
For the big finish, try the Dutch-inspired chocolate and cinnamon steamed pudding. It’s rich, but light, sweet and spiced and finished with a beautiful orange-flavoured vanilla custard – yes please!
Hand-woven runner, platters and wooden spice bowls provided by Romany Woman, Williamstown, Vic.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (with fan assist) and place the oven shelf near the top. Rub the chicken breasts with the rice wine vinegar and set aside until required.
Heat a small, deep-sided saucepan and add the oil, then toss in the sliced ginger and shallots. Cook until lightly browned, then add the palm sugar, cinnamon, star anise and cloves.
When the sugar caramelizes, add the chicken breasts and brown on all sides. Add the dark soy, salt and enough water to half cover the chicken.
Remove the chicken when cooked and slice each breast into four pieces. Skim away all the fat from the surface of the sauce. Present the sliced chicken with steaming hot rice and a bowl of the strained sauce.
In the absence of a long grape/wine culture, some of these complex Asian flavours can prove a bit tricky to match with wines. But over the years, I’ve found the musky spice of gewürztraminer to be a fairly safe bet with soy and ginger flavours. Try a Skillogalee from the Clare Valley or a Springvale from Swansea in Tasmania.
A slightly off-dry riesling wouldn’t be bad, but ginger, lemongrass, coriander and mint to me suggest sauvignon blanc or a sauvignon blanc/semillon blend every time. I’m sure everyone has their favourite savvie, so stick with it, or, if going for the blend, Margaret River has made the style its own.
Heat the oil in a wok to 180°C and deep fry the eggs until golden, then remove the eggs from the oil, cut into halves and set aside.
Carefully pour out the hot oil, leaving only two tablespoons in the wok. Return the wok to the heat and add the ginger, lemongrass, Yeo’s sambal oelek, garlic, shallots and shrimp paste.
Stir until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and sugar. Cook down until the mixture is thick, then add the dark soy and lime juice.
Add the eggs and fold through the sauce. Serve hot with steamed rice and herbs.
If you were eating this while dangling your toes in the Mediterranean off the Côte d’Azure, your choice of wine would be obvious – one of those light, refreshingly dry, pale-orange-coloured rosés from the Provençal hills behind you. We don’t do the style so well here in the Southern Hemisphere, but imports are booming. So, if you see one with Provence anywhere on the label, grab it.
Place the garlic head in aluminium foil with a little olive oil and bake at 160ºC for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in the foil.
To make the aioli, whisk the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar, pepper and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the two oils in a slow trickle, while whisking constantly. Fold in the chives, saffron, tomato dust and the roasted garlic. Combine well and set aside.
Smear a portion of the aioli onto four plates, followed by three potato slices and the seasoned tomato halves. Place a portion of prosciutto in the centre of the plate.
Heat a heavy pan and add the olive oil. Season the scallops and grill on high heat for one minute on each side.
Place the scallops onto the potato slices and serve immediately.
Place the cumin and coriander seeds into a small fry pan and heat until smoky and fragrant. Tip into a mortar and pestle and grind until fine.
Cut each lamb loin into six portions, butterfly open and place into a bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, ground cumin and coriander seeds, paprika and seasoning. Rub the spice mix into the lamb loin well.
Next, place one roasted onion, the lamb, another onion, a second piece of lamb and a third onion onto each flat metal skewer. Set aside until required.
To make the salsa, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin seeds and turmeric. Fold in the other ingredients and check the seasoning.
Place the rosemary sprigs into a pre-heated grill pan and top with the lamb skewers. Cook to your desired rareness and serve with a portion of the salsa.
The spices and smoky lamb here call for the weight, texture and exotic flavours of viognier, the white grape of northern Rhone. Yalumba introduced the variety to Australia and still does it better than most. Try The Virgilius if feeling extravagant, or its far cheaper – and almost as good – regular viognier.
This chicken recipe is prepared with an Ethiopian spice blend called berbere. The blend is very pungent, yet quite fragrant. The preparation is very easy, once all the ingredients have been obtained.
Using moderate heat in a heavy pan, dry roast (without oil) the peppercorns, ajowan, coriander, cumin, allspice, fenugreek and cardamom. Stir continuously while on the heat for five minutes or until fragrant. Pour the mix into a mortar and pestle.
Grind the spices with the mortar and pestle until fine, then add the remaining ingredients. When cool, place into an air-tight container and store until required.
I can’t think of a wine that would complement the fragrant pungency of this dish. So I’d go for a contrast, something fresh and fruity that would benefit from a light chill. A rosé or a light, cool-climate pinot noir should do the job.
Heat a heavy-based, wide saucepan and add the olive oil. Next, add the garlic and fry for 10 seconds, then add the onions. Cook for several minutes more then add the berbere and tomato paste.
Fry for several minutes, then add the red wine. Stir well, then add the chicken portions and lemon juice. Add the chicken stock to just cover the meat. Stir well, then cover and cook at a simmer for 30 minutes or until just cooked but tender.
Add some freshly-chopped coriander and present with soft wood-fired white bread and a light salad.
Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of genus Cinnamomum. It is available as small sticks or ground into a fine powder and can be used with both sweet and savoury foods. This combination of chocolate and cinnamon is delicious and addictive and complemented further by the orange-flavoured vanilla custard.
There’s probably enough raw Grand Marnier in the custard of this recipe to keep everyone happy. So perhaps the best suggestion is a port or muscat from Rutherglen, with a coffee to follow.
Brush one tablespoon of melted butter into the moulds, lightly coat with the two tablespoons of caster sugar and set aside.
Place 100g of softened butter and caster sugar into a mixing machine and beat until light. Slowly add the egg yolks, one at a time, and then add the melted chocolate.
Combine the almond meal, self-raising flour and cinnamon. Then fold into the chocolate mix.
Beat the egg whites until you have firm peaks, and then gently fold through the mix.
Place into the buttered cups, cover with a small piece of aluminium foil and steam for 24 minutes or until fully cooked.
Present with a dusting of icing sugar and a spoon of Grand Marnier crème anglaise.
Heat the cream, milk and vanilla bean to a simmering point, then set aside.
Whisk together the sugar and eggs, then slowly combine in the milk mix.
Place the mixture in a bowl above simmering water and stir until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to over-heat, as the eggs in the mix will cook and the sauce will curdle.
When cooled, add the Grand Marnier. This dish can be served warmed or chilled.

Co-founder Ian Carney talks about “America’s Got Talent” and what people can expect from the Christmas show.
What can people expect from the Christmas show? For those people who have seen us at the two shows locally at the Contemporary Arts Center [Darwin the Dinosaur and The Ugly Duckling] they’ll see something different. The people who haven’t seen us or are familiar with us from “America’s Got Talent” will get a chance to see us live. Although the creatures look really cool on TV, live is a whole other thing. People don’t understand what they’re looking at. We’ve had cops called on us outside Audubon Zoo [during a rehearsal] because creatures were running around in the dark – people were slamming their brakes.
It was an exciting chance for us to give back to the city, to do a show we want to be a tradition at the Joy and do a Christmas show that’s different, while still having root in the classic Christmas things but trying to take a left turn whenever we can. Our background is ballet, so there’s certainly a nod to The Nutcracker, but it’s certainly not The Nutcracker. It’s got holiday standards, but it’s not bombarding you with Christmas music the whole two acts.
How did the exposure from “America’s Got Talent” affect what you do? It increased demand for what we do, and that’s a good thing. The difficulty is … we build everything in-house. The complicated electrical systems, we do them here. There’s also training new people on how to deal with this stuff, because the wire itself is very temperamental; it doesn’t want to do what we do to it. … If the electrical system goes, there’s no character. When I was dancing on Broadway, you could smile and dance your way out of it.
But the good part about our medium is the sky is the limit. When you create a world like we create, there’s really nothing we can’t achieve. Birds, fish – you own the space because it’s all blackness. We try to envelope the audience in the world a lot more.
We’ve been to Bogota, Denmark, Russia three times now, Toyko, Hong Kong … the show had a whole life and enabled us to do a lot of traveling and avoid one thing that really separates us as people, which is language.
We’re so happy to be able to be home in New Orleans and hire New Orleans people to do our shows. The support of our community has been wonderful. I had to leave New Orleans to dance on Broadway, but I don’t have to leave New Orleans for this. There’s no other city on the planet like this one. We love that we can stay here.

Your compressor is composed of multiple parts that can be replaced individually. The compressor is strong enough to keep the indoor temperature of your property. In the very best case scenario, the compressor will just shut down before it’s damaged. Because your compressor draws a lot more power, it’s generally the culprit once your circuit is overloaded. Now that you know why it’s so important to continue to keep your compressor in good shape, let’s look at a number of the things that could result in AC compressor failure and that which you can do in order to avoid them.
If your compressor isn’t going to start, your very first step is to check and see whether your unit is receiving power. Compressors are definitely the most expensive portion of a unit, thus the durability and dependability of the compressor is crucial. The compressor might also be near the conclusion of its life, in which case the entire AC process is approaching the conclusion of its service life and will take a replacement. Your compressor is an essential portion of your HVAC system. The most frequent reason a compressor goes bad is due to long amounts of time without use. The compressor is a vital and pricey component, and once it goes you might find yourself dropping a good deal of cash on a new AC unit. In case the parts in your air compressor are loose, it’s going to make a lot of noise.

If You Are Suffering From Headaches, Vertigo or Motion Sickness – Then it is Time You Visit the Expert Doctors at Kingwood Urgent Care. We are Conveniently Located at 2601 W Lake Houston Pkwy Kingwood, TX 77339. We are Open 7 Days a Week, So Walk in Today or Call Us at (281) 607-4005 for More Information.
There are hundreds of neurological disorders that plague millions of Americans every day. They range from mild to severe and can have a vast array of implications in a person’s life. At Kingwood Urgent Care, we are proud to offer comprehensive treatment services for some of the most common neurological conditions faced by men and women of all ages including motion sickness, vertigo, and headaches. These neurological issues can cause a multitude of symptoms that can negatively impact your daily life. If you find yourself missing out on social activities with friends or calling out of work because you can’t focus on simple tasks as the result of your condition, it may be time to seek out the opinion of an experienced doctor.
If you suffer from a chronic condition, you notice quickly that it can broadly impact your daily existence. For patients with chronic headaches or migraines, sitting under the fluorescent lights at work or listening to their children playing in the next room can be difficult if not impossible. While infrequent headaches can often be treated with simple over the counter medications, those that are persistent or that occur regularly often require professional intervention. At Kingwood Urgent Care, our experienced doctors can provide insight into the triggers that cause chronic headaches and offer patients a path forward to a life free from the constant agony they face as a result.
Vertigo can be an incredibly disorienting experience. Patients with vertigo will find themselves suddenly experiencing intense dizziness, a sense that the world around them is spinning when it is in fact stationary, loss of balance, or even nausea and vomiting. While everyone may experience vertigo at some point in their life, those who experience its symptoms regularly are at risk of injuring themselves or others if they strike at an inopportune moment. If your vertigo symptoms occur regularly, it is time to seek the help of the expert doctors at Kingwood Urgent Care. We offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services that help you better understand your vertigo and prevent recurrent episodes.
Motion sickness is a common affliction for children and adults. For patients who occasionally develop motion sickness on extended trips by plane, boat, or car, over the counter medications can help address the symptoms of nausea and discomfort. However, prevention of symptoms is much more helpful and has a greater positive benefit for patients than simply addressing symptoms once they have already begun. By scheduling an appointment with one of the expert physicians at Kingwood Urgent Care, you will be able to better understand the underlying causes of your motion sickness, so you can work to prevent symptom onset in the future. Our doctors have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you understand your body and the unique triggers that cause your motion sickness.
If you are suffering from a common neurological problem such as vertigo, headaches, or motion sickness, trust the experts at Kingwood Urgent Care. Our convenient clinic in Kingwood, TX is open 7 days a week to provide the diagnostic and treatment services you need to live a healthier life free from the complications of dizziness, pain, and nausea caused by these conditions. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or simply walk in to see a doctor when you need one.

IMAP was able to increase the number of successfully completed transactions in 2018: from 204 to 208 deals worldwide and from 20 to 25 transactions in Germany. This puts IMAP again among the top 10 M&A advisors for deals up to USD 500m in the Thomson Reuters ranking.
The average transaction value was $ 62 million globally, which is similar to that value in Germany, where IMAP successfully closed several transactions in the three-digit million range as well as numerous sell-side transactions in the mid-double-digit million range. IMAP's most successful transactions worldwide were in technology (35), consumer & retail (33), industrials (27) and business services (17). Most active sectors in German deals were industrials (7) followed closely by technology (especially IT and software) and business services with 4 deals each.
21 of the 25 completed transactions in Germany were company sales, most of them on behalf of the shareholders of owner-managed companies, which once again underlines the strength of IMAP's advisory focus for this clientele. 4 sell-side transactions were successfully closed on behalf of private equity funds. The distribution of buyers between strategic investors, private equity and family offices was roughly balanced last year.
In 2019 IMAP expects to continue the successful trend and has started the year in Germany with two closed transactions.

To add a few cents to the discussion... each year when I head to Sebstian FL for the holidays I travel through rural SW Georgia on my way to catch I-75 in Valdosta.  This year I was struck by the INCREASED number of Kestrels I saw on the telephone wires.  This, as you may recall is peanut and pecan grove country, and hence there is plenty of suitable habitat for the kestrels for foraging purposes.  My guess is that the relative scarcity of Kestrels that others have noted is due in part to a local shortage of enough food, or more reliable food sources elsewhere.  While in Sebastian I noted that there were several places that I did not observe birds where I "usually" observed them.  I dare say that Hurricanes Frances and Jean had a say-so in the matter, altering the habitat that existed last winter.  As the ecosystems are altered and begin to "recover" one would expect the avifauna to adjust accordingly.  The results of the recent CBCs may shed light on the issue too.
other cause (such as West Nile Virus) is to be sought.

There are 34 reviews of Halston.
I was given a miniature of Halston in 1976 by a classmate in high school. I fell in love immediately with the fragrance. It reminded me of a fragrance that Sharon Tate would have worn (she was in the news of consequence that week, thus the correlation). Sharon was beautiful, and this fragrance is beautiful. It reminds me of Bel-Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Hills; it just smells that exquisite, unique, and affluent. Over the years, I have noticed slight changes to the formulation. The original was beautiful with a slight musky, cedar-like quality. However, of late, Halston is starting to smell more and more like Bijan for Women. Also, of note, the "Halston" logo has been removed from the front of the bottle itself, and it comes in a box without the "H" Halston design in the lining of the box. Is this being mass produced with corners being cut, and are they screwing around with the formulation at Elizabeth Arden? Why don't they just go ahead and make this in a pure perfume edition for those of us who enjoy our fragrances strong and long-lasting? Can anyone tell me the difference between the two Halston's, the one with the logo and the one without, and the one with the plain white box lining and the one with the "H" Halston logo box liner? Thank you. I did, however, find the 1 oz. EDT spray with the "Halston" logo on the bottle and the "H" design lining the box. I compared the two, and yes, the newer version without the logo on the bottle does, in fact, smell very similar to Bijan for Women. I better purchase more of the "Halston" 1 oz. before they're sold out. I couldn't find any of the 3.4-oz. size with the "Halston" logo on the bottle.
I wore Halston every day of my life from fall 1982 through sometime in 1983, when I turned to antique tuberose scents like Pavlova--mostly because every other girl in my junior high carpool and the rest of the school smelled like Halston (at least until Giorgio came to Dallas . . . .) We must have all nicked it from our moms; I'm sure I did. Wherever we got it, a cloud of it hovered over my early adolescence--so much so that just the sight of the bottle brings back the aroma.
I remember a warm, rich, fruity top that smelled indelibly like fresh bananas to my 12-year-old nose. I don't know how I would pry it apart now, but it was probably peach, lactones, moss and amber. I also remember the hamster-cage smell at the heart--cedar shavings with a little funk. But mostly I remember the projection and the long life. You could smell Halston from at least five lockers over, and one spritz on your coat would last all winter long.
All in all, this was a good fragrance on which to cut one's teeth. Good design, sophisticated juice, and very much of its time.
This green, floral, moss-rich Chypre was hugely influential and popular when it came out. It was the bridge between classic, old school fragrances and the Charlies of the world that were so popular at the time. Halston has all of the hallmarks of a classic fruity Chypre, along the lines of Femme and Mitsouko, but with a brisk, modern green note found in Norell and others. Old meets new, couture meets pret-a-porter, disco meets Billie Holiday, all wrapped up in a 70s sensability. A woman could smell modern and chic, as pared down and classic as a Halston dress worn with Elsa Peretti jewelry. This, along with Z-14 and 1-12, were the perfect embodiment of a designer's brand, in sync with the times. After Halston's death, the brand seemed to drift and then the reformulations began.... I have not smelled it recently, but in its time, this was one of the great designer scents, perhaps the best that America has ever produced.
Obtained what was reported to be manufacturer's sample vials of the original formula of the famous Halston. I remember older girls in school swooning over the spritzes they'd snuck from their mom's bottle - it was seen as the ultimate in adult sophistication, like sneaking a cigarette or keeping a pair of 3-inch heels in your locker that your parents didn't know about. I have no actual memory of sniffing it tho, and picked up these samples with hopes of catching the "real deal".
The first thing to hit me was a powerfully metallic aroma, followed by some medicinal notes, along with a tiny hint of that 'stale old bottle of perfume at the thrift store' unhappiness, but thankfully, not a lot of that. It's a loud number, tho - almost big 80's.
About an hour in, things have settled just a bit, and a soapy, herbaceous complexity comes through, riding on a wafer of fresh hewn cedar. To me this seems quite masculine, enough to make me wonder if I wasn't sold the men's version. Will have to investigate, as the vial is printed "Halston Cologne," with no gender mentioned. It doesn't take much imagination to picture this as the seed for later, more audacious unisex herbal frags, like L'artisans Timbuktu.
Five hours in, the base has worn down to that same initial sharp metallic note, now only much fainter, and that complicated herbaceous matrix continues to convey a certain type of affluence; Spearmint, vetiver and patchouli, definitely, perhaps a hint of musk under it all. Not one for my permanent collection, not really melding well with my own chemistry, but glad I gave it a whirl. It does make it's unique statement, even now.
Barbara Herman got it right again - a green, mossy chypre. "Bitter herbaceous green with mint balancing woods and oak moss and a floral heart."
However, I find it hard to believe this was once the second best selling scent in the world, next to Chanel #5. It seems quite tame, albeit quite pleasant.
This is just tame on me, nothing extraordinary, and I am experiencing a vintage bottle.
Another sacrifice to an over-educated nose, I am afraid.
By all means, do try it.
I own a vintage bottle of Halston from the early 80s gifted to me by my mother (who also loves this scent). I am convinced that there is a strong genetic component to the way a fragrance wears on the skin. Original Halston smells delicious on both me and my mom. My mom wore this when it first was released in the mid 70s.As a kid, I remember my mom smelling of Halston the morning after a night out with my dad.
We are both strong but feminine women so the fact that this one starts off girly and floral and gradually developes into a more traditionally masculine fragrance is very appealing. I don't seem at all drawn to the more modern fragrances that smell like soap or fruit. I would rather have vintage Halston with all of the dirt and drama.

Ascy Anseya is a young Keeper Miqo'te earning a living as an archery instructor. Originally from Gridania, he currently teaches in all the major city states for both Grand Companies and Free Companies, but doesn't shy away from charity or personally tutoring someone who is genuinely interested in archery. A lot of the time he spends in Gridania is however typically spend as a holiday or as a hunting trip rather than on business. He currently has no residence, usually staying in a small inn room which he uses for the practical purposes of sleeping and storing equipment that he uses for teaching. He's definitely not a rich person, most of his income being invested towards his bow collection and simply covering expenses.
Ascy Anseya was born in a quiet corner of Gridania. Not much is known about his past, including his exact age or birth name. Both of his parents were employed by the Wood Wailers. While out on patrol, they were ambushed and killed by poachers. With no other known relatives he was soon taken under the care of an Elezen employed in the Archers' Guild and affiliated to the Gods' Quiver. Their name is not generally known, and Ascy has clearly not felt the need to share it with anybody. The Elezen in question had a long-running feud with the Archer's guild, citing lack of professionalism and having contempt for their teachings and techniques, holding the opinion that their thinking was backwards and outdated. This situation escalated, culminating with the Elezen losing their legal guardianship over Ascy, who was then taken in the care of the Archers' Guild as a whole. Although he himself normalized relations with the Archers' Guild, he couldn't ever quite forget the contempt, and the reasons for it, his previous legal guardian held with regards to the Archers' Guild.
During adolescence Ascy got more withdrawn, his attention being focused on archery and appreciating his surroundings in Gridania and the Shroud. He spends a lot of his time gazing at the stars. Although he did not gain any knowledge over constellations through this, it is partially responsible for his nickname, 'Ascender' or 'Ascend' shortened to 'Ascy' by his few friends at the time. He used the name 'Ascy' ever since, and dropped his birth name completely. Despite stumbling often while not watching his step his face remains free of any scars. His memory of this period of time is either lacking or sketchy, whether or not he is hiding something is uncertain.
In his late teens he developed a taste for sharing his knowledge and passion for archery with others who were interested. Fairly quickly through hearsay he discovered that there was a demand for people who teach archery, particularly outside the Shroud. As a result Ascy ended up being hired as an instructor for the other Grand Companies, who don't enjoy a long-standing tradition of archery like the Order of the Twin Adder and as a result have a higher demand for a skilled instructor. Despite this he finds the need and motivation to instruct Free Companies as well, they provide a risk-reward type of deal, where there is a somewhat bigger wide divide between the motivated and unmotivated students. At one point Ascy did do a bit of mercenary work. However, something went wrong and he ended up discontinuing this path completely, going so far as to decline mercenary jobs even when offered by highly reputable persons in the Grand Companies. A hard distinction here is to be made between a mercenary job and a hunting job, as Ascy can, on occasion, be found hunting small and large game.
Nowadays Ascy can be found travelling between and around the three city states, oftentimes with a scheduled class somewhere around the corner or just behind him. He plans his visits to the city states to revolve around several classes, staying anywhere from a few days to a few weeks in the same area, then travelling onto the next. As a result Ascy has a tendency of gaining and losing new contacts, and has had trouble developing long-standing relationships in the past, which mean that he will appear and act timid and innocent a majority of the time. Despite this, however, he is quite up to speed with what may happen in the bad parts of town, and can easily find himself concerned for the safety of others when not in his presence.
Ascy is typified by a young, unscarred face. He has brown eyes and long hair, almost always covered by his iconic black ranger's hat. He wears a long, woad blue coat with layers of leather covering both the front and back, serving both as protection as well as keeping his clothes out of the way when performing archery. He has plain blue pants with practical boots, good for maintaining a solid foothold on rougher ground. Most iconic is his bow, made by a master bowyer at the Archer's guild in Gridania, who wishes to remain anonymous. The bow is characterized by its short length and soothing recurve to retain efficient energy transfer, making it ideal for hunting.
On the whole of it Ascy is well spoken with a good sense of morality, but can be easy going or, on occasion, easily convinced to go with a venture that he wouldn't otherwise agree with. He is always very kind. On those rare occasions when he actually teases or pokes fun at someone this is often cautious and hesitant.
Will explain something for as long as it takes!
The only notable affiliation Ascy has with magic is that he is trying to learn conjury, assuming it likely that at some point one of his students will get seriously hurt. Though Arcanima has also been cited as an option, his heritage in the shroud and relative appreciation of nature makes conjury a more appealing option. Besides this, Ascy has no magical abilities whatsoever, and his knowledge and understanding of magic in general is very poor at best.
In his spare time Ascy is known to occasionally weave a straw hat or basket. Primarily however, Ascy has done some exploration with the construction but above all mending of bows. As a result he's well able to see damage develop and repair his bows before they fail, or at least be able to make them last considerably longer than usual.
Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC! Some of these rumors may be untrue or greatly exaggerated.
Not much is known about Ascy's. He was killed in an ambush by poachers, reportedly by shielding his mother but being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. It is rumored that his father was part of rear security in the patrol column.
Not much is known about Ascy's mother. She was killed in an ambush by poachers. She's rumored to have been the second in command of the squadron tasked with the patrol.
Ascy has no known siblings, though due to the untimely demise of his parents it is possible that they are out there.
After (once again) blindly stumbling through Ul'dah, Ascy sollicited the help of N'amine to try and help find his way to the Goblet. Soon he found himself intrigued by her appearance, above all the clothing. After telling her why he was going where he was going, he discovered that she too was originally from Gridania and ended up in Ul'dah through hopes of better learning the craft of weaving. She showed great interest in his bow, and Ascy wondered why she didn't do archery when she seemed so interested and ended up proposing teaching her for free, being happy he had found someone so interested. He seems uncertain, and tries to hide any confusion in his head, instead attempting to focus on showing her how to use a bow where applicable.
Meeting Abrielle Sundance was the result of Ascy once more (*sigh*) being completely lost. He learned that she has an interest in learning archery, particularly because she lacks direct means of self-defense. Because Abrielle works as Conjurer, this sparked the idea for Ascy to learn conjury of his own to heal the wounds his students would inevitably obtain, whereby Ascy would teach Abrielle archery and Abrielle could teach Ascy conjury.
- He may appear lost as he often is, looking flustered and confused at a map he takes with him everywhere.
- His bow is a beautifully crafted piece, and may take the attention of somebody who knows a thing about archery or otherwise has a keen eye for quality.
I'm interested in meeting interesting people in general, though specifically I am keen to find more people who are interested in learning archery, are Archers themselves already or are located around the Gridania/Shroud area.
I haven't gotten across anything in particular yet, though I'm not going to let you kill me or anything. Will very very likely bring it up OOC if the RP goes too far in a no-no direction.
I'm a main BRD, secondarily AST, WHM and DRK. Though really, BRD's where it's all at!
Total aircraft/history nerd, particularly WW2 aviation and WW2 in general. Also play Rising Storm 2 and World of Warships on occasion.

"It can be towed by a mid-sized car, van or pickup truck"
It is smaller and generally lighter than a Fifth Wheel Trailer, which means it can be towed by a mid-sized car, van or pickup truck (this could mean using a lot less fuel to get where you are going).
Depending on the model you buy or rent, you will have all the comforts of home. Unlike the Fiver (Fifth Wheel Trailer) these trailers have a single level floor plan. If you are looking for a reasonable amount of living space at a reasonable cost than this is the RV for you.
Most Travel Trailers are fully self-contained for camping out in the boonies. They can also be equipped with room slideouts that increases the size of available living space when camped (more room for dogs, cats, kidlets, grandchildren or you). The length of these RVs vary between 8 to 35 ft.
If your motto is "have toys will travel" then this trailer is for you. A Toy Hauler is a Trailer or Fifth Wheel that has been designed to carry your toys such as quads, dirt bikes, dune buggies, your favorite Harley or even a small car.
They have a big back door that doubles as a ramp. Your toys are stored in a mini-garage behind the main living area of the trailer.
Once you are at your camp sight and you have removed all of your toys, these mini-garages can be converted to useable living space such as a bedroom, etc. (this depends on the model you have).
These special trailers can have up to 3 axles dependant on the weight they are designed to carry.
The name of this trailer pretty much describes its appearance it looks like a small teardrop. These little trailer's roots goes back to the 1930s when they were very popular.
Early in the 1960s their popularity started to decline, due to the availability of larger trailers and Motorized RVs. However in the last few years there has been a renaissance (I have always wanted to use this word in a sentence) in the Teardrop Trailer category.
Quite a few hobbyists have bought some of these old trailers and restored them back to their original condition.
There are even kits that are available so that you can build your own tiny Teardrop Trailer (if you are handy with tools and have a lot of time on your hands you can give this a try).
One important fact to remember is that these trailers are SMALL. They range from 8 to 10 feet in length and 4 to 5 feet in heighth (ideal for a small couple). Needless to say this is not ideal for a family of four.
There are even Teardrop Trailer Rallies, where all of the Teardroppers (I just made that name up maybe it will stick) get together at Teardrop rallies to show off their tiny trailers.
Take a look at the video we recently shot for EARV to demonstrate how easy it is to setup Expandable (Hybrid) Travel Trailers.
We would like to thank Bill Durkee from CustomRV inc. located in Anaheim California for conducting this great demonstration for us.
These are also known as Hybrid Trailers. These unique trailers are a cross between a normal Trailer and a Tent Trailer.
In order to create more sleeping space these trailers have pop-out ends or sides like a Tent Trailer.
Don't confuse this with a room slideout. Room slideouts have solid walls and ceilings, the pop-out has canvas walls and ceilings like a Tent Trailer.
These pop-outs allow these RVs to comfortably sleep up to 8 people in a modest sized trailer. Some of these pop-outs are configured with bunk beds, creating even more sleeping space.
Now you will have no excuse for not inviting all of your relatives to go camping with you.
The Expandable trailer is less expensive than a similar sized trailer with room slideouts.
Hopefully, the above information will be helpful in steering you in the right direction.
If you have decided that a Trailer is the right type of RV for you, you should now head over to the Buying a RV section of this web site to get some more helpful hints.

Everyone wants to become the best version of themselves, but few actually do it. We’re our own worst enemies when it comes to achieving success, chasing our dreams, and living a life that’s filled with passion and purpose.
Some of us are self-destructive without realizing it, and others are conscious of the fact, but lack the tools and/or knowledge in order to improve. But no matter who you are, there are 6 main habits that continually get in people’s way of becoming a success.
Eliminate these 6 habits and become the best version of yourself.
Does failing make you worry about what other people think about you? Does failing worry you that people will think you’re stupid and not a competent person? Does failing make you worry about the future and the desired lifestyle you seek? Do you tell people beforehand that you don’t expect to succeed or thrive in order to lower expectations?
If any of these describe you, then you likely suffer from atychiphobia, or fear of failure. It’s important to realize that failure is a natural part of life and doesn’t signal the end of the world.
Highly successful people, such as Michael Jordan, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates have all failed at some point in their life. Failure is needed because that’s when valuable insights are learned that can drive you to become highly successful in life.
Overcome your fears by analyzing all potential outcomes, practice positive thinking, have a worst-case scenario to ease your worries, and practice setting goals.
Do you get nervous when everything seems to be going well, but in your mind life can’t possibly be this awesome, so naturally something goes wrong as expected?
Do you get close to making the major breakthrough, but something, somehow, falls through?
If these examples happen repeatedly, this isn’t a coincidence, it’s actually a fear of success. Fear of success hides in our subconscious and displays itself in scenarios like the examples above.
People are afraid of success for a myriad of reasons, such as fear of losing their identity, more responsibility being added, raised expectations, and not being able to handle success well.
Success is a good thing, everyone deserves to live out his or her dreams and have a positive impact on the world. Handle success by staying authentic and remembering who you are, accept you won’t please everyone, and be comfortable with every decision you make.
It’s time for you to stop playing the role of the ‘doormat’ and start becoming selfish and putting yourself first. For each second you remain in this people-pleaser role, a piece of you dies.
People pleasers are taken advantage of, prone to stress and depression, develop resentment over time toward people in their lives, and are prone to health issues, such as weight gain. Once you quit people pleasing, you’ll regain your sense of who you are and build up confidence.
Live your life to please yourself and to heck with everyone else.
Do you notice how some people have a short fuse for those who have ideas that are different from theirs?
Do you realize how quick people are to judge and label other people without knowing them and to not think twice about it?
To become the best version of yourself, you need to eliminate all negative energy. When you throw negative energy at people, you’re potentially damaging a person’s self-worth and self-esteem. You’re also throwing buckets of negative energy out into the universe yourself.
Nice people finish first in life and achieve more than those who are selfish and bitter with the world.
Avoid criticizing and judging others by not assuming anything; know it’s not about you, and pretend to walk in their shoes to see the situation from their perspective.
Perfectionism is the mother of procrastination. Procrastination is another form of laziness. Procrastinators sabotage themselves from becoming the best versions of themselves. Procrastinators are sidetracked by insignificant factors that ultimately derail their goals.
There are many variations of procrastination.
To stop procrastinating, make you actions precise and calculated, have some form of accountability established, and set your goals up in a way in which they are small, manageable, and easily achievable.
These are the types of things most people say when suffering from negative self-talk. Self-talk is a normal process we all experience, but once it becomes filled with irrational ideas that are negative, then there’s a problem.
The story that goes on in your head is a hundred times worse than the actual story going on in your day-to-day life.
Silencing the inner critic and putting a positive spin on things are two of the best ways to eliminate negative self-talk. Start by eliminating negative vocabulary, such as always, can’t, never (and ever), won’t, but, should, and try.
Comment below on some other ways you feel people stop themselves from becoming the best version of themselves? I’ll love to hear your responses.

Home ECONOMY Which goes further on €20 worth of fuel: Hybrid or diesel?
Taking a petrol hybrid and a diesel car to see how far they’d go on just €20 worth of fuel ended up revealing a lot more than I’d bargained for.
The plan was to drive the cars until one or both conked out – completely empty of fuel.
But first off let’s be clear. The exercise was organised by Skoda. Now I have to say they were scrupulously fair and had absolutely no control over how we drove or who drove what. Everything – fuel loading etc – was filmed for authenticity.
My colleague and I remained entirely independent on our assessments. We were in total control of the cars at all times.
Both cars had their tanks purged of all fuel before the €20 worth of petrol and diesel were respectively poured in so there was no lingering litres or residue.
2. A Skoda Octavia Ambition 1.6TDI 115hp, DSG (automatic) 182-reg. Price as tested: €26,425. Spec included: 16in alloys, cruise control, air con, rear parking sensors, reversing camera. CO2 107g/km; road tax €190. Claimed fuel economy 4.1l/100km (69 mpg). Diesel range starts from €25,000.
The important thing to remember is that I am not a proponent of either genre or brand. Skoda clearly understood my position in agreeing to participate. They wanted independent reportage and that’s what I’m giving.
I have some reservations about the trial being based on €20 worth of fuel for both cars rather than an equal measure for each. With diesel being a bit cheaper, the Octavia benefited from 0.66 litres more fuel in the tank. Would it affect the outcome? We’ll see.
Secondly the Auris had 17in wheels, the Skoda had 16in – again a minor but potentially significant point.
Anyway, after much checking and verifying we took off from Sandyford; me in the Skoda, my colleague in the Auris. We drove through town traffic to Dundrum, Goatstown, Stillorgan, Cabinteely, Bray (right through the town centre). Then we stopped for a cup of tea before taking the motorway to Gorey where we had a quick lunch.
The Skoda computer told me I’d covered 93km and had 55km range left. The Auris’ reading was virtually identical on kms to empty.
We switched cars and headed for Courtown and up the coast towards Arklow. Then we drove a continuous loop which took in Inch, Coolgreany and an industrial estate.
My Auris ‘kms-to-empty’ dipped to 25km in no time. I took a hands-free call. When I looked at the screen again there was no figure at all. I was running on ’empty’. Or so I thought.
Don’t forget I was pushing 130/140km at this stage so I wasn’t disappointed at all. To reiterate: the plan was to keep going until either car conked out.
After one run of the 17km loop the needle in the gauge prodded the ‘E’. I was expecting a shudder at any moment but slowly the kms rolled by. I topped 200km and still the needle kissed the ‘E’. My colleague in the Octavia diesel reported her car was saying ‘zero kms left’ in the tank for some time. It was, as Alex Ferguson used to say, “squeaky bum time”. Which of the cars would give up the fuel ghost first?
Merciful hour: 230km rolled by. We had to stop for tea. It was getting dark. Should we call it a draw? No way. An opportunity like this doesn’t come around too often (the preparations and organisation had been absolutely superb). The important thing at that stage was we were driving country roads, typical of many people’s everyday journeys.
That’s what I really liked about this trial: we’d done city driving (though I’d suggest another 20km would have been more representative); we’d done motorway and we’d put on lots of ‘everyday’ kms.
And so, refreshed, we drove into the clear night. I know that loop route like the back of my hand.
Still we drove. I grew confident the Auris would last longer because the monitor illustration of what was going on under the bonnet showed how little the engine was in use, and the level of regenerative energy when going downhill for example.
As we crept over the 270km mark – yes 271km on €20 of petrol – I got that little shiver. My monitor showed the fuel wasn’t going to the engine any more; the battery started to contribute heavily and was depleting rapidly.
At 271.3km precisely, I stopped. The Octavia went on for another 15 minutes before, at 8.30pm, we decided we had a result.
Okay, the Octavia may appear to have ‘won’ but I think both cars deserve enormous credit for what they achieved. That is not a cop out. I genuinely feel that. The exercise could be repeated in the morning and, with a bit more city driving or a different set of drivers, the result could be different. I’ve no qualms saying that. There is no black and white result here. We got two phenomenal fuel consumptions on normal routes; we didn’t drive slowly.
I came away with the conclusion that diesel is far, far from dead; it has a huge relevance and can slug it out on MPG with anything currently on the go. Hitting new (and imported) diesels with a 1pc VRT surcharge was absurd. Our test showed its staying power and ability in no uncertain terms.
But I developed a real soft spot for the Auris hybrid. I didn’t think it would last as long after the motorway driving. I think it made a big case for how frugal it can be in typical driving for families. To get so far on €20 of fuel – and on 0.66-litres fewer – is testament to its ability to serve many masters.
There is no denying, however, that the Octavia made a massive case for those who put up big mileage at moderate to higher speeds.
I believe there is plenty of room for both.
VERDICT: Diesel is not dead by a long, long shot and hybrid is not just for urban dwelling.
* Petrol for the Auris cost €1.495/litre = 13.38 litres for €20.
* It travelled 271.3km before coming to a stop; an average of 4.9 litres/100km or 58mpg.
* Diesel for the Octavia cost €1.425/litre = 14.04 litres for €20.
* It travelled 293.8km approx before coming to a stop; an average of 4.8 litres/100km or 59 mpg.
* Sandyford to Bray (25km urban driving).
* Bray to Gorey (68km motorway driving).
* Gorey to Arklow (27km extra urban/country driving).
* Ballynattin to Inch loop: The Auris travelled an additional 151km in the extra urban/country driving conditions during this loop.
The Octavia travelled an additional 173km during the loop.
* In total we covered 25km urban, 68km motorway and the remainder (151km for Auris and 173km for Octavia) in extra urban or countryside driving.
* Before departure the Octavia’s trip computer gave a range of 130km.
* The Auris’s computer indicated 183km range.
* In Gorey, after travelling 93km, both trip computers read 55km approx.
* Overall, the Octavia was more economical by 0.1/100km but it is minuscule and reliant on factors such as driving style etc as to be negligible.

Exploration is part of what drives us. It is hard work, with unexpected twists and turns that bring new knowledge and revelations. Exploration can also lead to a deeper appreciation of classic approaches and techniques. At Foundation Brewing, we seek to build on the classics while weaving in new elements. When it all comes together, we sit back and bask in the afterglow of a new creation.
We are proud to introduce Afterglow as an interpretation of the American IPA. The extensive use of classic American hops blended with those from the South Pacific provides an intense and deep citrus note complemented by berry and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. A resinous background lurks under fruit notes, providing depth of hop flavor that rolls across the palate. A blend of both New World and Old World malts intertwine to provide fullness and richness, but still finishing pleasingly dry. The flavors linger, inviting you to sit back, and enjoy long after the last sip is gone.
Afterglow will be available on draft in the tasting room on Saturday, September 12th.

It was the end of July 2018 when I found myself with a dozen other queer, transgender youth in the Utah Pride Center’s basement for TRUTH’s National Gathering. Everyone in room was an activist in their own right, whether in their school’s GSA, university’s queer scene, their local community, or some combination of the three, but we had come together with an ambitious goal: to write a manifesto for transgender youth.
The very act of our council convening in person felt miraculous. It is an unfortunate reality that most trans youth do not have a space to be themselves. In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that only about 38% of high schools had GSA’s (Gender and Sexuality Alliances). Today, GLSEN’s 2017 National School Climate Survey indicates that as the years have gone on, this number has increased (58% of their respondents reported that their school had a GSA). However, even in these spaces, our cisgender LGBQ+ peers can tend to struggle more with adjusting to new names and pronouns or wrapping their heads around genders outside of the gender binary (genders beyond being singularly a man or women). Encounters with transphobic, cisgender queer people are a poignant and particular kind of harmful.
In most areas of transgender and/or nonbinary people’s lives, we are constantly justifying our existence and explaining our identities. TRUTH provided a space where I was able to be understood on an intrinsic level by the people around me which freed the energy I spent making by trans-ness acceptable and digestible by others. Being with other trans folks means being able to dress without worrying about conforming to gender norms. It means safety and protection from people who understand the dangers within transphobia. Overwhelmingly, it means sharing jokes, smiles, and a hope for a better tomorrow. This is the power of community: a feeling of being linked together in a way that cannot be unbroken and working towards a future where all can thrive.
All too often, trans people are prevented from accessing a larger community due to incarceration. About one in six transgender people will be jailed or imprisoned over their lifetime, with rates increasing for trans women and most drastically black trans people, nearly half of whom will be incarcerated. With residence of guidelines granting asylum to seekers fleeing domestic and gang violence, trans asylum seekers at at increased risk of deportation. Whether in prison cells or immigrant detainment centers, trans people are at increased risk for violence, sexual assault, and death within them.
No transgender and/or nonbinary person deserves to be harmed by the justice system, police, and ICE. This means ending transphobia is dependent on ending racism, colonialism, and all other axes of oppression. Though the struggles of trans youth vary, they are interwoven and connected in an undeniable way. So, together, TRUTH council bunkered down and studied the radical movement’s of our ancestors, discussed our values, and trusted in each other’s stories of bigotry and systemic violence and their needs because of it. Slowly, and with great effort and imperfection, we set out to write what victory might look like for all of us, with liberation from transphobia, from racism, from ableism, from misogyny, from classism, from colonialism, from police violence and incarceration, and more. This document eventually became TRUTH’s Nine-Point Platform.
Malik Tran, an organizer, poet, southern TRUTH council member, and all around marvelous human being, when speaking about her own story at National Gathering, said, “While helping someone realize their trans truth, I created an opportunity for my own liberation. While I was unchaining them, they were unchaining me”. The manifesto is built upon the belief that liberation for one requires liberation for all. When we educate, support, and fight for each other, we are not just working towards their freedom and happiness, we are also contributing to our own. There is no better future in which any of us our left behind.
