I’m currently reading The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant. It’s the tale of a young woman who asks her grandmother about how she became the woman she is today. I’m not sure that I like the writing style, but I’m enjoying the narrative, so I’ll persist. The idea of writing style failing to complement the narrative, got me thinking of the first and only tale I’ve written. With exception to a primary school creative writing competition, I’ve written just one written creative story when I was 11 years old. I visualise creativity or a creative person to be colourful, bubbly and energetic – the “jazz hands” of personal expression. Needless to say, I don’t believe creativity is a personal strength which is why I haven’t explored creative writing since.
My one creative story is called The Silver Key. It’s a tale set in 1930s Egypt of two 13-year-old girls forged in friendship, a love of poetry and romantic novels, aristocratic upbringings, exotic adventure and ancient legends. Despite its shortcomings, I love it. It was pragmatically written, but historical inaccuracies weave through the sometimes outlandishly out-of-context prose. I still have the original transcript, which was hand written on yellow lined paper. It’s one of my most treasured possessions.
I wrote my tale in the first person of my protagonist named Sarah. She is friends with Dianna, both of whom are from England. As an 11-year-old during the 1998 Christmas holidays, I can only imagine the name was inspired by the then recently late Princess Diana. Of course, I had to be different so my Dianna got two n’s. Sarah had long red hair (of course!), she was introverted and wise; Dianna had dark ringlets, she was brazen and foolish. Dianna moved to Egypt to be with her aunt following the death of her parents, so they maintained their friendship through a series of letters. Soon after her arrival, Dianna wrote to Sarah about what she learned of the legend of the silver key. The missing artifact opens the tomb of the most powerful and cursed pharaoh that ever lived.
Sarah travels to Egypt in the hopes of solving the mystery of the silver key with her best friend. Life in the 1930s meant that Sarah traveled by ship (with her mother of course), or at least that’s what I thought people did in the 1930s. But I probably just watched 1997’s Titanic, which would also explain the scrumptiously velvet (but 20 years too soon) clothing I envisioned my characters in. At the time I also had an obsession with ancient Egypt, which sadly didn’t continue as my passion shifted to modern history as I progressed through school. I remember sitting on the floor of my Uncle Joe and Aunty Kim’s library, cutting out pictures from travel magazines of the Great Pyramids and the Sahara. I imagined the girls running through spice bazaars and glittering sand dunes in their adventure to find the silver key. It’s an adventure which led to Dianna’s untimely demise. The tale concludes with the elderly Sarah living in Melbourne, reflecting on the loss of her girlhood friend.
The Silver Key is unashamedly young adult fiction (YA) – a literary genre that is not critically favoured, and it’s typically written by women for young girls. Ironically, of the six subjects I’ve completed so far in my journalism course, YA was the subject I struggled with most – in my defence the course focused on literary theories which were new concepts to me. The rules of YA suggest that the protagonist should be written in the first person – think the series of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, Divergent, and The Hunger Games, and the stand alone The Book Thief. Rules are made for a reason, but they are also made to be broken.
In 2011, I tried in vain to re-imagine the story as a either a novella or a novel, by researching the historical references, and considering a swap to a third person narrative. I wasn’t ready to revisit it then, and it showed because I didn’t progress far. I tried too hard to honour the original narrative which restricted me from taking it where it needed to go.
I graduate from my journalism course in October this year. I feel like this is the perfect time to take on this project again. Despite knowing what I know about YA fiction, I still want to explore the option of shifting the narrative to the third person, therefore shifting my writing style. I like the idea of breaking the rules, but I like the idea of being Sarah’s guardian, advocate and challenger even more. I think I’ll be able to add more depth to her in the third, as opposed to trapping her into my projection and perception of myself in the first. Despite having big, creative decisions to make, I’m excited to think of the possibilities of her back story and character development. I’m especially curious to learn how she will project herself in her friendship with Dianna as well as how she will perceive herself in the friendship. I’m yet to consider whether the story will still conclude with Sarah as an elderly Melburnian. But regardless of her age and locale, I can’t wait to find out who she becomes.

Here’s my amazon review for Tom Carter’s incredible photo book on China
A picture painted a thousand words. That was before Tom Carter started taking them. Now, it seems, a pixel portrays a hundred thousand – and that’s for those of us with limited imagination!
I first came across Tom’s work through his travel writing while doing some background research for EATING SMOKE – a book about the time I spent ‘roughing’ it in Hong Kong and China. Not only did Tom’s unrestrained generosity and supercharged positivity towards people and place change the course of my life (in the first of many kindly returned e-mails), but upon purchasing China: Portrait of a People it became immediately apparent how this philanthropic aura extends to the subjects he captures through a lens.
Tianjin to Tibet, Shanghai to Sichuan, Hong Kong to Henan, Tom takes you on a serendipitous journey – river deep, mountain high, citywide, countryside – to reveal the relationship between a vast, enigmatic and relatively unknown land and its incredibly diverse population.
From the birthplace of Chinese civilisation on the banks of the Yellow River, to the birthplace of Shaolin kung fu on the sacred peak of Song Shan, to a proud mother soon to give birth in the Year of the Golden Pig . . . to the growth of the Christian Movement in Hong Kong, rice in the paddies of Nanjing and consumerism in Hangzhou . . . to the demise of traditional housing in Jinan, the death of a puppy in Siberia’s frozen wastes and the resting places of honoured ancestors in Macao, his images usher you full-circle through all walks of life in all of the Middle Kingdom’s thirty-three provinces.
Tom’s discerning eye combines the deliberate, the subtle, the fortuitous, the impromptu and the random to create a candid and affecting collage that juxtaposes young and old, shiny and crumbling, ancient and modern, humble and brash, happy and sad, and beauty with – the occasional – frank ugliness to provide an exceptional up-close-and-personal incite into a proud people whose individuality differs greatly and whose way of life stretches across a millennia, and shows a country so swept up in the paradox of global capitalism that, if not careful, it will look upon China: Portrait of a People in the not-too-distant future with nostalgia as the pre-eminent historical record.
This book took me on a truly remarkable voyage; one that many will be delighted to complete in armchair comfort as they flick through its pages, awestruck by such an undertaking and grateful for its profundity, while others will reach for their backpacks, further inspired to set out and snatch a peek at this extraordinary country and meet some of its colourful inhabitants for themselves.
My only criticism of Tom’s contribution is when he says ‘The snapshots in this book are not meant to be works of art.’
If this isn’t Art, Tom . . . then I don’t care to see what is.

Bess the Brave War Horse: Published By Scholastic
Available from popular bookstores and online retailers in New Zealand and Australia
Bess the Brave War Horse is a story about a young filly who grew up on an idyllic farm in Martinborough. In 1914 Captain Guy Powles chose to take Bess with him to the Great War (WWI) in North Africa. She was loaded onto a troop ship and kept below decks for seven weeks with four hundred other horses. On arrival in Egypt she had many sights and sounds to get used to while the soldiers set up camp. The heat was stifling when training in the desert and the noise of the guns terrified Bess.
Many months later Bess and the battalion trekked 50 kilometres a day until ordered to dismount. They fought in many bitter battles. During one fight, a shell exploded in front of Bess and threw her master to the ground. She stayed by his wounded body until the fighting was over. When they rode through the town of Jaffa, just after the enemy had retreated, the villagers greeted them. Captain Powles lifted a little girl onto Bess’s back and she walked carefully through the narrow streets.
When the war was over the men were told they could not take their horses home. Captain Powles was determined to not leave Bess behind. He pleaded with his commander to be allowed to take her back to New Zealand, and was delighted to be given permission. Once home, she galloped in the green grass, and when her master’s son rode her, she trotted gently across the peaceful green fields.


Presentation in Haddonfield Public Library and Haddonfield Public Schools
On May 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Haddonfield Public Library, 60 N. Haddon Ave., Haddonfield, N.J., the public was invited to hear Feitshans’ view that “nanotechnology’s revolution for the world’s economy can also provide the catalyst for revolutionizing public health — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to retool industry, rethinking the role of key stakeholders for reshaping public health policy and health care delivery.”
Dividing her time between Switzerland, France Asia and Haddonfield, Feitshans considers herself to be a local Mom who raised Haddonfield School District graduate Jay Levy Feitshans, Esq (a lawyer now in Medical School) and his sister Emalyn Levy Feitshans who graduated Haddonfield Friends School and is now at Columbia University,
Dr ilise FEITSHANS has been invited to speak to current students both her native English and in French. Her second presentation will be held in AP French class at Haddonfield Memorial High School on May 24 at 12:00 p.m. (in French!) Using photos of 3D printed bridge construction projects from China and photos from her recent visit to Notre Dame after the fire, Feitshans will ask the students “… what they think of the very real possibility that parts of the broken Cathedral of Notre Dame may be repaired in part by artisans and in part by nano-enabled 3D-printing.” .
She will also meet with students at Haddonfield Middle School. Noting that when she was a child “girls didn’t study science in then all-male elite schools” she is delighted to talk about the rule of law and the role of law in shaping opportunities in Science technology engineering and Math (“STEM”) Her book is the product of the first Swiss doctorate on the subject of nanotechnology law and is deeply connected to her work developing the infrastructure for nanoregulation in the USA an d Europe.
The Presentation at the High School in Haddonfield
I welcome also questions from the media and of course to discuss careers in STEM or law or international relations (or writing!) with students and staff whether middle school or high school.. or younger. In my own experience my father knew that he wanted to be a lawyer before he chose his high school, as did my son. And I sure do recall some people telling me I argued and talked like a lawyer even when I was a child …(please smile here)

Christopher D. Dishman, Univ. of Oklahoma, $34.95 (268p) ISBN 978-0806141404
For his first book, Dishman examines the US Army assault on Monterrey in the early stages of the Mexican-American War, providing a detailed, comprehensive account of one of the Army's first forays into urban warfare. Dishman painstakingly recounts, with moment-to-moment precision, the campaign that resulted in the loss of 14% of the American men. Most compelling is the improvisational role Texan soldiers played in changing the way American troops approached such a conflict, ultimately revolutionizing urban fighting. Indeed, the importance of the Texans at Monterrey, in addition to the contributions of future President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis and his 1st Mississippi, are the most engrossing characters in what can be a plodding read; casual readers may be challenged, as Dishman focuses more on the actions of the battlefield than the people involved. The military historian or aficionado, however, will find much to love. Dishman literally walked the streets of Monterrey to achieve the most complete picture possible and it shows. An Epilogue summing up the steps taken by the commanders makes one wonder if the intended audience is the West Point cadet, eager to learn from his forebears. (Oct.)


A truly inspirational series, George RR Martin’s a Song of Ice and Fire books have been hailed as ground breaking and poetic fantasy. Having read the first in the series (A Game of Thrones) and currently engrossed in the second novel (A Clash of Kings) I can truly vouch that what I have read so far truly is amazing and any reader with the slightest interest in fantasy should defiantly give these books a go. If you don’t like reading, you can still be part of this epic story through the amazing HBO TV Series, Game of Thrones, the first series of which (containing the plot of the first book) has already aired and the second series of which will be on our screens soon!
One aspect of the books that I love so much is the detail that has gone into the Aristocratic Houses, of which there are a handful of High Houses with the rest serving one of these houses as a so-called bannerman. Another important element of these houses are their “Words” which are basically a maxim held by each house that explains a part of their philosophy and general outlooks. What I intend to talk about in this post is how the words mean so much more than just a general outlook and how in several cases they are closely tied to the plot surrounding the characters. I will be discussing four of the Houses: Stark, Tully, Arryn, and Lannister. House Baratheon may feature in a later post.
There may be spoilers in the remainder of this post.
The first house I am going to discuss is House Stark, the House from which a bulk of the characters originate. House Stark is the Northern House, the Lords and Ladies of the Northern People, with their words being the ominous phrase “Winter is Coming.” This phrase is a warming, speaking of dark times and the need to prepare for them. In the setting of “A Song of Ice and Fire” the seasons last for years and at the beginning of the book we are in the seventh (or so) year of summer. The looming threat of Winter, a time in which the world will face years of constant darkness and bitter cold, recurs consistently throughout the novel and provides a wonderfully threatening undertone to the other events of the books. The Words “Winter is Coming” is reflected in Lord Eddard’s being forced into accepting the position of Hand of the King and moving away from his homeland of the North to tend to the King at Court in the Southern City of “King’s Landing.” As Lord Eddard then goes on to discover the conspiracies of the Court, especially where Cersei and Jaime Lannister are concerned, he begins to prepare himself for the worst: a bloody confrontation. However, despite his preparation, things do not fail to turn out horribly worse. The rest of his family continue to face darker and darker times as the events of the novels unfurl further, thus proving the warning of their words to be correct. However, even though we can accept that the metaphor of their words is accepted, Winter has yet to truly arrive, though I doubt anyone who has read A Game of Thrones would even consider that Winter will not reach Westeros eventually.
House Tully, the River Lords are represented with the symbol of a Fish and the words “Family. Duty. Honour.” supposedly these are in order of priority, with Family being the first thing a Tully ever considers. The most central character in the novel from House Tully is Lady Catelyn Stark (Stark by Marriage to Lord Eddard) and from her actions we can see how central these values are to her. Her devotion to Lord Eddard and her children, most notably Bran after his fall, cements her position as the mother figure of the novels. The way in which these words shape her life is that all three of these things contest for her attention, and it is down to her and her alone to chose which of them she must undertake. Lady Catelyn, however, follows the priority, as set down by her words, to the letter, being entirely devoted to her family in spire of everything else.
If House Tully is considered the House of Water, then House Arryn is, without contest, the House of the Air and the Sky, with its seat of power being the Eyrie, an impregnable fortress set atop a mountain. Their words are “High as Honour” and this is expressed in the actions of Lord Jon Arryn, who is deceased at the beginning of the books, having been slain because of his devotion to the virtues of truth and justice. Most ironically, his wife, Lysa Arryn (formerly Lysa Tully) notably discriminates against the virtue of honour in the way that she refuses to support her nephew when he goes to war against the people who murderer her husband. Lysa’s made devotion to her sickly son pulls her more towards the Tully words, the House from which she originates. However, she follows the Tully mindset in a fanatically and detrimental manner. Ironically, she and her son are the last remaining of House Arryn, and neither of them truly follow the words of their House.
Lannister, the House from which most of the antagonists originate is represented with the colour crimson, their animal is the lion and their words are “Hear me Roar” which is all about excess and grabbing everyone’s attention. Their words represent the desire to be in command and be the loudest and most powerful House there is. House Lannister fulfils this desire through one trait: Wealth. The Lannisters are the richest house in all the Seven Kingdoms and through this wealth they gain two of the qualities their words most reflect: power and excess. The characters of House Lannister also represent these two desires. Tyrion’s desire for power is reflected in his pursuit of knowledge and his excess is reflected in the amount of whoring he undergoes in very short spaces of time. Cersei’s desire for power is the iron throne itself, something she desires to dominate through the proxy of her son. Jaime’s power is his desire to claim martial victory over everyone, being the best knight that he can be. All in all, the Lannisters are ruled by two lustful vices, and their lust shapes them as a House.
From these solid examples we can clearly see how the philosophies of the houses has so deeply infiltrated into the mindset of the characters which originate from each house.


OK, I'm pretty sure I'm the last person in the whole United States to read The Help by Kathryn Stockett.
But just in case I'm not the last, let me tell you that you will, like about 12 million other people, enjoy reading about Minny, the big-mouth maid who gets fired for doing something Terrible/Awful to her employer. (The Terrible/Awful wasn't what I expected. It was better.)
You will enjoy reading about Hilly, the queen bee of the Jackson, Mississippi Junior League.
You will like Skeeter, the too-tall white girl with the frizzy hair, who gets an idea that seemed a little contrived as a plot device but eventually earned its keep.
You will enjoy riding the bus home with the maids and hearing them talk about the white people they serve.
Yep, it's no wonder you have to fight for a place in the long line at your library to read this book.
In honor of Minny, the big-mouth maid who makes the best caramel cake in the world, I offer you:
Banana Fudge Cake
We recently enjoyed this cake in honor of a certain two-year-old's birthday. The honoree, upon arriving at his beloved grandma's house, ignored his grandma and went straight for the big red box with the picture of a trike on it. I do believe that helping grandpa assemble the trike was the most fun he had all day. He carried wheel parts around. He brandished screwdrivers. He checked grandpa's work and made sure grandpa stayed on the job.
When the trike was all done, so was dinner. But do you think we could get him to sit down for some macaroni and cheese? Nooooo.
Really, I don't know what else we could expect from the little fellow.
He can't even reach the pedals yet. But that doesn't stop him from (as Emma put it) Fred-Flintstoning his way across the floor.
He was, however, willing to take a break for a piece of this cake.


With the obvious exception of my girlfriend Debbie, there are few things in this world that make me happier than seeing a great independent film get distribution. And so it is with great pride and delight that I announce that “Moving Midway,” the film which won last year’s Chizfilm Award for Best Documentary, has just signed a distribution deal with First Run Features. It will be released in theatres in New York in September; national distribution is expected to follow shortly thereafter.
The movie was made by film critic and documentarian Godfrey Cheshire, who comes from a family, the Hintons, that can trace their ancestry back to Charlemagne. They came to America before the Revolutionary War to claim and settle a 26,000 acre Southern plantation near present-day Raleigh, North Carolina. Dubbed Midway Plantation, little remains two-and-a-half centuries later. As suburban sprawl encroaches, Cheshire’s cousin, Charlie Silver, the current owner, announces plans to literally uproot the family homestead, which was built in 1848, and move it to a new location several miles away.
So begins an amazing journey and discovery which Cheshire documents with remarkable insight. In preparation for the move, some very interesting facts come to light, including the revelation that there is a whole other branch of the Hinton family they never knew about: the African-American branch, descended from one of the Midway Plantation slaves with whom the great-great-great-grandfather had an affair.
That, as well as the physical moving and concerns for what many in the family believe to be the ghosts of their ancestors, causes tension in the family. And as Cheshire begins to explore the true history of the ante-bellum plantation, a real conflict emerges between the myth and the reality of the slave-labor-driven pre Civil War South.
While the technical difficulties of moving a large house are filmed with amazing camerawork for a documentary (such as crane shots, shots from unusual angles including inside the moving house, and even helicopter shots), the movie, unlike the History Channel TV show “Mega Movers,” focuses less on the technical maneuverings and more on the social, historical, and cultural implications.
Examining how views of the Southern plantation have changed over time by looking at culture-shaping movies such as “Birth of a Nation,” “Gone with the Wind,” and “Roots,” Cheshire provides real insight into why popular notions—including those within his own family—differ so much from the reality. The contrast is quite telling when we see that, to the Caucasian branch of the family, the house is the most important part of Midway Plantation, whereas to Robert Hinton, the African-American, it is the least important.
Interviews with scholars, including John Hope Franklin, offer additional insight into issues of land, race, history, myth, culture, and how these ideas interweave together in the contemporary American South.
To see the meeting between the descendants of slaves and the descendants of their owners, which evokes King’s dream, is quite emotional, not to mention extremely interesting as some are more eager than others to embrace such an encounter. And while there may be many mixed feelings and emotions within this extended family about the moving of Midway and the revelations the event has triggered, it’s definitely a valuable learning experience for the filmmaker, his family, and the audience.
I’ve now seen this movie four times. I was privileged to preview a copy for the Virginia Film Festival last summer, when I worked for them as a writer. I’ve since chosen to watch it three more times, including at the prestigious New Directors New Films festival in New York, last March. I have seen no other film, in my entire life, that many times within such a short period. And what makes that statistic all the more remarkable is that the film hadn’t yet found a distributor.
But now it has, and so everyone can soon see it. And when you do, make sure you stay through the closing credits because there is a very interesting postscript.
So my deepest congratulations to Mr. Cheshire on getting distribution; and also congratulations to First Run Features for recognizing the film’s remarkable insight into a unique piece of American history and culture provoked by the simple—or not so simple—moving of buildings.

How do I place a hold on-line?
Click on the large "Search Catalogue" button, which will take you to the TRAC catalogue, a consortium of over 120 library collections.
Enter Library Barcode and PIN number (usually the last four digits of the telephone number on file).
Search for title and select "place request" (Note that choosing a record with many copies could greatly speed up the process).
More assistance can be obtained by clicking on the "Help" tab.
How do I know if this library has the book I am seeking?
If you have selected "Sexsmith Shannon Library" (inverted to place town name first), in the pull down menu located in the upper right corner, then Local Availability will indicate whether the book is owned by this library and whether it is signed out or on the shelf.
If you ONLY wish to see what this library holds, then select "Open Search options" (located just below the title search area) and select this library from the pull down menu of libraries and then click "select search options" to apply your selection. Only that library's books will now appear. This is easily reset.
How do I renew a book on-line?
Once logged in (see above) select the "Patron Account" tab.
Along the top (just below the tabs) there is a listing of options. Select "Items Out".
Check the boxes beside the items to be renewed and click "Renew Selected Items" at the bottom of the page.
There is a column indicating the number of renewals left. This will range from 0 - 2.
Why won't it let me renew some items?
The system will not let you renew an item if
a) it is on hold for another patron
b) you have exceeded the permitted number of renewals
c) it has been recalled by the owning library
If renewal is important, call the Library, as special circumstances may allow staff to override.
The book I want isn't listed in the Library Catalogue:
One of the best things about your library card is The Alberta Library Online (TAL Online). The link on the left side of this page provides a direct route to the resources of the province including colleges, universities and metropolitan libraries in the Province of Alberta.
There are many different ways that titles listed can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. One way is to place a hold directly on "TAL Online", using your library card. This method has the virtue of seamlessness, with no additional steps on your side. You will be called as soon as the item arrives in the library.
The second way is to select the option to email the item record directly to the Shannon Library and the request will be placed through our Interlibrary Loan department. Make sure that contact information is included. This method means that you are in direct e-mail contact with the staff member placing your request, and works well if you are uncomfortable with the sheer number of titles and types of resources available through The Alberta Library.
I can create lists, but can't place a hold on any of the titles. Why?
Currently the software does not have this capability, however, your concerns have been passed on, and we hope that this will be a priority in future software updates.
Why isn't the library open more hours?
There is a fine line that all Library Boards must draw between hours of opening and their operational budget. Balancing staff needs and training against community needs can prove to be a challenge.
It helps to refer to a document entitled "Standards for Member Libraries within Alberta's Regional Library Systems" which allows libraries to evaluate their levels of service as "Essential," "Enhanced," or "Excellent" depending on the size of the community.
In Fall of 2009, the library was able to open on Mondays from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. thanks to an increase in funding from the Province of Alberta.This allowed the Library to achieve "Excellent" (40 hours) for libraries serving a population of 3,001 - 5,000 .
We have since adjusted our opening hours to even better serve our community. Please refer to the box on the left hand side of the page for current library hours.
Why don't you have my question listed?
E-mail me and, if the question is a common one, I would be more than happy to post both question and answer.


A vulnerability was discovered in the github.com/russellhaering/goxmldsig library which is used by Teleport to validate the signatures of XML files used to configure SAML 2.0 connectors. With a carefully crafted XML file, an attacker can completely bypass XML signature validation and pass off an altered file as a signed one.
The goxmldsig library has been updated upstream and Teleport 4.3.7 includes the fix. Any Enterprise SSO users using Okta, Active Directory, OneLogin or custom SAML connectors should upgrade their auth servers to version 4.3.7 and restart Teleport.
If you are unable to upgrade immediately, we suggest deleting SAML connectors for all clusters until the updates can be applied.
Download one of the following releases to mitigate the issue:

Are you interested in understanding the effect nutrition has on our health? What is the relation between nutrition, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases? Then I can strongly recommend a book by Dr. Cambel (www.nutritionstudies.org), called "The China Study" . This book looks at the largest nutrition study conducted to date and its results in detail. There is a lot of science (and statistics) in this book, and therefore not quite as easy to read. But if you really want to understand the relation between health and nutrition then this is the book to read.
There are a few reasons why I think that this over 400 pages book is a must read:
- it looks at how nutrition affects our wellbeing
- the relation between nutrition and many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, etc
- it gives a critical, and may be even life saving information on nutritionoutlines the eight principles of food and health, in terms of eating right
- his theory is backed by a very well documented, and peer reviewed study
- questions the role different industries play in the information our society gets when it comes to what is a healthy nutrition
I also think that this is not a book that it should be read only once and then put on the shelve to gather dust. I think that this is a book, that we should go back to and re-read different sections, just to refresh our memory on the importance of healthy nutrition!

A series of images conceptualizing the ephemeral aspect of thoughts and moments.
My images bring attention to the small things in life using natural light and shadows as reminders of what is always present around us, but we sometimes take them for granted.
This series combines traditional art (paint on canvas), digital photograph and natural light from the sun.
My paintings with the intervention of light and shadows share unique instants in time. To allow others to witness these moments, I capture them using a digital camera.
‘Shadows’ was first shown at the Runnymede Public library in Toronto. It was in an intimate and cozy space. I showed around 25 pieces, and all were framed in a simple black frame. This series has become an ongoing project adapted into several exhibitions (in person and online) as well as into installations like 'Light Source' and 'Memories' shown in the 2022 Nuit Blanche Toronto.
Check my latest projects, including the latest adaptation of Shadows by following me on instagram.
By definition, sun•down is the time in the evening when the sun disappears or daylight fades. Sundown is a synonym for 'sunset'.
This collection is inspired by the last colours of the sky we see before the darkness of the night takes over after sunset. Based on the idea of taking in those last minutes of daylight, 'Sundown' captures the relaxing colours of Toronto's sunsets giving you the opportunity to permanently enjoy them inside your home.
The series is composed of unique mixed-media paintings of a diversity of sizes to fit a variety of spaces. One of the paintings in this collection was part of my recent Nuit Blanche 'Memories' installation and is soon to be available for sale.

Susan at Coffee and Romance Reviews had this to say about "Sugar Roux Voodoo"
I have never read a book as uniquely different from the romance book formula as Sugar Roux Voodoo by Katalina Leon. Set in New Orleans in 1834, this historical novel takes us on the journey of Lark LaBeau as she faces black magic in order to release her beloved Valcour from its evil claws. Lark definitely is a strong woman who defies what the norms that society has set for her from her very first moments in the busy seaport city. She is wildly erotic, yet earthly sensuous, dark, and mysterious. This enchanting novel is told through visions, dreams, and memories as the practicing voodoo priestess refuses to take no for an answer, especially where her lover is concerned. Ms. Leon tastefully interwove powerful sex scenes through a secondary character that causes not only our witch’s blood to boil, but also the reader’s. Sugar Roux Voodoo is an erotic tale that will have you eagerly awaiting each page.

Scrub isn’t happy about leaving Florida and his friends to summer with his crazy grandmother in “Middle-of-Nowhere,” Washington. Arriving at her Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast, he isn’t surprised by its the-60’s-meets-Star-Wars décor, but he is surprised by the weird-looking guests. It turns out that each room in the inn is an off-earth portal and his grandma the gate-keeper, allowing aliens to vacation on Earth. Grandma desperately needs Scrub’s help monitoring the visitors, shopping for cartloads of aluminum-foil for dinner, and taking rambunctious alien kids, that glow-in-the-dark and look like trees, camping. The problem is, the town sheriff, already suspicious about Granny, is a scout leader camping in the same spot. Will Scrub blow Granny’s cover, forcing the B&B to shut down for good, or will the intergalactic police have to intervene?

With just less than three weeks before the classes begins, preparations are underway to ensure to get the new school year off to a good start at Holy Family School Holy Family School.
Cognizant in providing a rigorous curriculum and engaging experience for 21st century learners, the school continually invests on teacher training and improvement of infrastructure and learning resources. As such, the following activities were undertaken:
A week-long in-service training has been rolled out to help the teachers have a stronger grasp in purposefully aligning the curriculum and classroom practices to Dep Ed and Philippine Catholic Schools standards.
Two e-learning hubs were built for elementary and high school students to access digital publications, multimedia resources, and interactive learning and assessments. Providing a high capacity broadband and connectivity is in the works to help the learners take full advantage of today’s best educational information services. Along with this, the newly relocated Learning Resource Center (LRC) which houses both the library and media center is expanding its print and non-print collection and electronic resources. This aims to provide social space for students to research, collaborate, create and relax.
“We are excited to welcome all students from kindergarten through senior high school. We had our regular enrolment last week and currently, we are accommodating late enrollees for all levels”, explains Mrs. Julieta Libo-on, the school registrar.
Below is a schedule of upcoming activities for the opening of classes:
June 1 to 7; 13 to 15 – Enrolment
June 14 – Orientation with new parents (Kinder- 8:00am; Gr. 1 to 6 -1:00 pm)

- Visit the Plumpton Park Zoo - I love this little rescue zoo. It has recently been purchased by a new family and they have done just incredible things to improve it. Local families know buying a membership is the way to go, because the kids want to go back again and again to explore a place that is just the right size for having fun without getting overtired. And then, when they are done exploring, they know they can head to the playground equipment beside the eating area.
- Check out the Cecil County Fair - This very nice fair up in the Fair Hill area has been voted Maryland's best by one of the regional magazines. Rides, livestock exhibits, 4H displays and the famous demolition derby make this a fun outing, especially if the weather isn't super hot for July.
- Sunfest - Every year, the town of Rising Sun throws a party. In 2012, it is on June 2nd. There's an idol competition, trips to the zoo, face painting and more.
- Port Palooza - Port Deposit has a street festival on the first Monday of every month from May to October. The town promises great music, great food and plenty of vendors. (The white pizza from Delorenzo's is my personal favorite, with the turkey reuben at C.M. Tugg's running a very close second.)
- Cecil County Public Library - The summer programs are really awesome. And they are free. All you have to do is sign up for each program you would like to attend. Join the summer reading program for adults and have the kids sign up for their summer reading programs while you are there. The prizes are really nice - what kid wouldn't want to read a few books so he or she is able to drop a ticket in the box for the new bike drawing?

The College is very pleased to announce that the Supervision Resource Manual for Registration, Third Edition, 2022 is now available on the College’s website in the Reference Library area.
In September 2020, the College Council approved the formation of a Supervision Resource Manual Working Group. This group was tasked to review the Supervision Resource Manual (2009) to ensure it aligns with the Standards of Professional Conduct, 2017 and best practices in supervision, and to support candidates entering the profession and the supervisors who give of their time and dedication to the growth of their supervisees.
After many months of work the Working Group prepared a draft of the new Supervision Resource Manual For Registration, 2022 to replace the Supervision Resource Manual in place since 2009. Changes made reflect the evolution of the Registration Guidelines, standards of the profession, and the academic literature regarding supervision over the past decade. In the course of development, the Working Group consulted with the College’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Working Group. In the summer 2022, the revised draft Manual was circulated to members for feedback. The results of this consultation were considered when preparing the final draft of the Manual.
The revised Manual supplements and augments the information provided by the College’s Registration Guidelines and Standards of Professional Conduct, 2017 and integrates information from several sources based on best practices in supervision. The Manual is meant to provide guidance to members and those seeking registration with the College. It provides practical information to help members of the College who agree to be supervisors for supervised practice members and/or who agree to provide supervision to members seeking to expand their authorized areas of practice. It also provides information for members who wish to supervise individuals from other regulated health professions as well as unregulated providers.
The College wishes to thank Dr. Marjory Philips, Dr. Jane Ledingham, Dr. Paolo Pires, Mr. Barry Gang, and Ms. Lesia Mackanyn, the members of the Supervision Resource Manual Working Group for the time and effort they so generously gave in undertaking this very important and comprehensive work.
