Answer: in a self-driving mail truck.
But don’t worry, there will still be a person in the truck for your dog to bark their head off at.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) released a report last week stating that the agency plans to integrate self-driving tech into its fleet of 228,000 vehicles. In partnership with the University of Michigan, USPS plans to build an Autonomous Rural Delivery Vehicle and start using it on 28,000 rural routes as early as 2025.

Singapore, 6 March 2014 – Women in Asia Pacific's emerging markets tend to have more positive views of their own well-being when compared to their developed counterparts, according to the inaugural MasterCard Index of Well-Being being launched today.
The Index, based on a survey of 16 Asia Pacific markets, aims to measure the level of well-being among nations by examining the impact of wide-ranging factors such as work-life balance, cyber-crime and disease outbreak on respondents.
In the lead-up to International Women's Day, MasterCard is releasing a special edition of the research focusing on women's well-being across the region. The research covered women's attitudes towards five categories: Work and Finances, Safety from Threats, Personal and Work Satisfaction, Personal Well Being and Sense of Empowerment. The Index is calculated with zero as the most pessimistic, 100 as most optimistic and 50 as neutral, and respondents' thoughts on the six months ahead.
The seven developed markets featured on average lower scores (average of 58.9) than emerging markets (65.7). Women in the North East Asia cluster of Japan (53.6), Korea (54.9) and Taiwan (55.0) fell below the average for developed markets. On the emerging markets front, Malaysia (58.0) and Bangladesh (55.3) are visibly below the emerging market average.
"At first glance, the contrast in scores between developing and emerging markets seems to suggest that a higher standard of living may not necessarily translate to a higher sense of well-being as there are other influences involved such as cultural or psychological ones," said Georgette Tan, group head, Communications, Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa, MasterCard.
Women in developed Asia Pacific ranked marginally higher in only one component of the survey – 'safety from threats' – with a score of 57.0 compared to 55.2 for emerging markets.
Women in emerging markets score higher across all other components compared with their counterparts in more developed economies, with the greatest difference seen in the 'satisfaction' component (69.9 vs. 59.0) and 'personal well-being' (67.4 vs. 55.0).
Women in emerging markets are also clearly more optimistic about their work and finances including their outlook on regular income and employment. In comparison, women from developed markets appear to be in greater control when it comes to keeping up with their bills or saving for big purchases, possibly due to the better margins afforded by their higher incomes.
"What differentiates this research from other studies is the holistic view we've taken in understanding the factors that impact the level of well-being amongst women. As we look to enhance the role of women in society, our research provides a complementary view to economic data, ultimately helping us better gauge the progress that still needs to be made in this space," Tan added.
Alongside the results of the Well-Being Index, MasterCard also announced the results of the latest Index of Women’s Advancement, which measures the socioeconomic standing of women across Asia/Pacific via three main indicators: Employment (Workforce Participation, Regular Employment), Education (Secondary Education, Tertiary Education) and Leadership (Business Owners, Business Leaders, Political leaders). Each indicator measures the ratio of women to every 100 men in each of the 14 Asia/Pacific markets covered by the research.
Overall, amongst the 14 Asia/Pacific markets, New Zealand ranked first (77.9 Index Score), followed by Australia (76.0), the Philippines (72.9), Singapore (68.4) and Taiwan (65.9). At the other end of spectrum, India (39.2), Japan (48.3) and Korea (50.0) had Index scores indicating that much more can be done to achieve gender parity.
The full rankings for the MasterCard Index of Women’s Advancement can be found below.
 Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The MasterCard Index of Well-Being is a new survey comprising 16 Asia/Pacific markets. Launched in January 2014, the Index aims to provide an in-depth measure of the level of well-being among nations in Asia/Pacific by examining the impact of wide-ranging factors such as work-life balance, cyber-crime and disease outbreak on respondents. Overall, the research reflects respondents’ attitudes towards five categories ranging from Work and Finances, Safety from Threats, Personal and Work Satisfaction, Personal Well-being and Sense of Empowerment.
Data collection was via internet surveys and face to face interviews, with the questionnaire translated to the local language wherever appropriate and necessary. The Index and its accompanying reports do not represent MasterCard financial performance.

If you've had high school geometry, you know about the Pythagorean Theorem. It states that the sum of the squares of the sides adjacent to the right angle in a right triangle is equal to the square of the side opposite the right angle, often written as a2 + b2 = c2. Pythagorean triples are solutions to this equation where a, b, and c are all positive integers. We explicitly exclude solutions where a or b is zero. (For example, if a = 0, then b = c, and any positive integer will work for b. Not very interesting.) Suppose we want to find a method for determining all the solutions for a given a. So, for example, if a = 27, are there any solutions where b and c are positive integers. If so, what are they? And can we be sure we've found all of them?
Some of the potential solutions do not yield positive integers for b. In fact only the first three do. It looks as if we can ignore factors where m ≥ a . Let's see if we can formalize this intuition.
First, if m = a , then clearly b = 0, so we can ignore factors where m = a. Second, if m > a , then 2 b + m < a , or 2 b < a − m . However, since m > a , a − m < 0. Therefore, 2 b < 0, which can only be true if b < 0. So if m > a , then b < 0. Since we are only interested in positive integer solutions, we can ignore factors m of a 2 where m ≥ a .
That seemed to go pretty well. Let's make another trial. Lets choose a = 10, a 2 = 100. There are 9 factors of which 4 are less than 10: 1, 2, 4, 5. Let's see what happens if we try them.
Only one of these solutions satisfies the requirement that all the numbers be positive integers. To see why, let's consider what happens if a is even.
If a is even, then m (2 b + m ) must also be even. However, whenever m is odd, the expression m (2 b + m ) must also be odd. Therefore m odd can never lead to a solution for a even. What about the case above where m = 4? Let's consider the case where a = 2 n p where p is odd. Then 2 2 n p 2 = m (2 b + m ). Clearly, if m = 2 2 n , then p 2 = 2 b + 2 2 n . However, this contradicts the stipulation that p must be odd. Therefore, m = 2 2 n cannot lead to a solution. In summary, for a even, there are no integer solutions when m is odd or when m contains all the 2s in a 2 .
Let's take a look at one more example. Suppose a = 360, a 2 = 129600. There are 105 factors of 129600 of which 52 are less than 360. We can count the factors by looking at the prime factorization of 129600. Let's start with the prime factorization of 360.
Counting 0 as an exponent, we get 7 ∙ 5 ∙ 3 = 105 total factors of 129600. Of those 5 ∙ 3 = 15 are odd. Another 15 contain the maximum power of 2. Also just less than half, 52, are less than 360. Here is a table that shows which factors lead to solutions. All in all, there are 37 values for m that lead to a solution.
I leave it to the reader to find the solutions.

How many people must be there in a room to make the probability 100% that two people in the room have same birthday?
Answer: 367 (since there are 366 possible birthdays, including February 29).
The above question was simple. Try the below question yourself.
How many people must be there in a room to make the probability 50% that two people in the room have same birthday?
The number is surprisingly very low. In fact, we need only 70 people to make the probability 99.9 %.

A normal population has a mean of 80.0 and a standard deviation of 14.0.A. Compute the probability of a value between 75.0 and 90.0.B. Compute the probability of a value 75.0 or less.C. Compute the probability of a value between 55.0 and 70.0.

Now, however, I have more respect for it since I am a father. Over the years my son has asked me many profound existential questions. When confronted with these questions – say, about the soul or God – I have given my most considered, sincere, and straightforward response. My responses could, of course, be wrong. But I believe they were as authentic as possible. They were also given in a loving spirit to one whom I love. Once I saw this, I realized Kierkegaard’s point which helps us understand his unique genius in proposing a different type of truth, namely, truth as subjectivity.
‘Subjectivity’ is a word that Kierkegaard uses to denote something, as he says in his book The Concept of Anxiety (see Princeton version), “very plain and simple, namely, that truth is for the particular individual only as he himself produces it in action” (138). There are many truths about ourselves and the world that we can examine objectively, that is, examine without our feelings, commitments, and concerns. Kierkegaard doesn’t deny that objective truth exists or that we can examine it with a high degree of objectivity with science. But he thinks we also need to focus on how we hold the beliefs we do. Holding beliefs, ideas, and truths without acting on them is inauthentic. Therefore ‘subjectivity’ is a word that denotes not what we believe but rather how sincerely we act on what we believe.
“Let us consider Socrates. These days everyone is dabbling in a few proofs or demonstrations. – one has many, another fewer. But Socrates! He poses the question objectively, problematically: if there is immortality. So, compared with one of the modern thinkers with the three demonstrations, was he a doubter? Not at all. He stakes his whole life on this “if”; he dares to die, and with the passion of the infinite he has so ordered his whole life that it might be acceptable – if there is an immortality. Is there any better demonstration for the immortality of the soul? But those who have the three demonstrations do not order their lives accordingly….is there any better counterdemonstration to the three demonstrations?” (201).
“In all simplicity, then, the existing subject asks not about immortality in general, because a phantom such as that does not exist at all, but about his immortality” (174).
So, when Kierkegaard thinks about how to justify his belief in the soul and God’s existence – two things he thinks outrun our reason and objective analysis – he harkens back to his father who, like me transferring my very deepest commitments to my son in an authentic manner, gave him his truths as subjectivity. For Kierkegaard, this is the best we can do in the face of profound mysteries and therefore an argument from authority, in this case a loving authority, is not only non-fallacious and warranted; it is also existentially certain.
I have to admit I still don’t find this line of reasoning convincing after all these years. But as a father I understand Kierkegaard’s journal entry, I respect it, and I may yet come to accept it.

When more than one person agree to invest their money to run a business or firm then this kind of agreement is called partnership. The persons involved in the partnership are called partners.
Sleeping Partner: Sleeping partner is the person who provides only investment but does not take part in running the business.
Working Partner: Working partner is the person who not only invests the money but also takes part in running the business. For this work he is paid some salary or some percent of profit in addition.
There are two types of partnership.
Simple Partnership: In simple partnership, capitals of partners are invested for the same period of time.
Compound Partnership: In compound partnership, capitals of partners are invested for the different period of time.
Jack and Jill start a business by investing $ 2,000 for 8 months and $ 3,000 for 6 months respectively. If their total profit si $ 510 and then what is profit of Jill?
So we have 8 + 9 = 17 parts of total profit.
Out of this 17 parts, Jack will get 8 parts and Jill will get 9 parts.
So, One Part = 510/17 = 30.
Jack’s profit = 30 × 8 = 240.
Where C is the capital invested, T is time period of capital invested and P is profit earned.
Raju, Kamal and Vinod start a business by investing Rs 5,000 for 12 months, Rs 8,000 for 9 months and Rs 10,000 for 6 months. If at the end of the year their total profit is Rs 2000 then find the profit of each partner.
Raju’s investment is 5000 for 12 months.
Kamal’s investment is 8000 for 9 months.
Vinod’s investment is 10000 for 6 months.
So there are 5 + 6 + 5 = 16 parts of profit.
Out of these 16 parts, Raju will get 5 parts, Kamal will get 6 parts and Vinod will get 5 parts.
Jack and Jill start a business by investing $ 2,000 for 8 months and $ 3,000 for 6 months respectively. If their total profit si $ 510 and then what is profit of Jill?

MBA (Masters of Business Administration) OverviewWhen a student completes his/her graduation degree, it is a very important phase of their life.They often find two choices with their life.Either they can look for jobs or they can pursue a Masters degree.Most students go for the Master’s degree.Sometimes students do not want to stick to their field of education.They want to change it.MBA is a very good option for them.This degree is very useful for those who wants to make a career in business.This course is very popular among Indian students.There is a huge demand for MBA graduates in both Indian and International market.In this article, we will discuss various aspects of MBA.
MBA means Masters of Business Administration.This is a post graduation level degree course.Those individuals who wish to go into the business line often pursue it.It is a two-year professional course which deals with various theoretical aspects of business.Different business aspects include topics like marketing, management, accounting, finance, international business etc.The aim of this degree program is to make students aware of various management topics.It is a theoretical field.It prepares students to face the challanges the competitive business world will put in front of them.After getting knowledge about various business subjects, students can choose their area of specialization.
In today’s competitive job industry it is extremely important to stand out from the competition. There are many ways to distinguish yourself as a top candidate, but one of the best ways to get ahead is to complete your Master’s Degree. The Master of Business Administration(MBA) is a popular choice for many consumers due to the well-rounded nature of the program and the prestige associated with the degree.
The earning potential for those with an MBA is significantly higher than for candidates with an undergraduate degree. Starting salaries for MBA graduates range anywhere from $70,000 to $110,000 per year and are higher than the national average. The increased earning potential will allow you to quickly earn a return on your investment. Do your research on salary earnings and make sure the pay-off is what you expect. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Obtaining your Master’s Degree opens up opportunities that may never have existed before. Many employers require a graduate degree and disregard candidates who don’t possess an advanced degree. Therefore, showcasing your education automatically increases your chances of getting your foot in the door and landing the job. In addition, a graduate degree increases your chances of moving up the corporate ladder as many companies want employees in management and upper level leadership to have this knowledge base. If you’re sceptical, schedule a casual interview with a local recruiter and ask any outstanding questions you might have about the career benefits of an MBA.
When working on your Master’s Degree you will automatically be launched into an environment with other highly motivated and business-minded people. Not only will you have the opportunity to share ideas and philosophies with your classmates, but you’ll also have access to the university’s alumni network. Most alumni associations facilitate networking events that will allow you to rub shoulders with former graduates and learn from their professional experience. These connections might someday help you reach your long-term career goals and are an invaluable benefit of the MBA program.
While this may seem like an obvious advantage of any training program, the MBA is designed to give you a broad and big-picture knowledge of the business world. Most programs will require a wide range of coursework and will ask students to apply the newly learned knowledge in hands-on scenarios. Many MBA students have already been in the working world and are looking to explore new opportunities and learn more modern practices. You won’t regret the many valuable skills gained through your graduate studies.

Home Diet Do Polar Bears Eat Fish? | Do Polar Bears Eat Salmon?
Do Polar Bears Eat Fish? | Do Polar Bears Eat Salmon?
Yes and probably no! Polar bears always prefer to hunt bigger animals such as seals or walruses. However during warmer months when the ice retreats and they are unable to hunt marine animals, polar bears fancy eating fish as their alternative food. Apart from that polar bears, unlike brown bears, do not often rely on fish for their daily consumption. Let us find out what type of fish do polar bears eat.
Do Polar Bears Eat Fish?
Unlike brown bears, polar bears do not usually eat fish. Brown bears are experts in catching fish. They just stand on rocks and as the fish jumps the bear grabs it with her jaws. Polar bears do not appear to possess any such technique and also the arctic is different from Alaska. But the question is; do polar bears need to catch fish like brown bears do when they spend most of their time in swimming? Certainly not! All they need is to swim and follow their traditional prey to supplement their diet.
Over the past few years prolonged summers and short winters have forced polar bears to search for alternate prey. Therefore in the eastern Greenland and southern Svalbard polar bears are seen capturing fish. This is a tough ask for polar bears especially if the ice breaks. They need ice not only to hunt seals but also to catch fish.
But if the prey is not big enough to satisfy the bear’s appetite it must be nutritious. Fish such as salmon is likely to be a nutritious food that keeps the bear warm in a freezing temperature. Polar bears are also thought to catch Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) as well as fourhorn sculpin during swimming.
We have listed all different types of fish which polar bears eat in its entire life. It's true that fish isn't polar bear's primary diet, but the bear is an opportunistic hunter and it eats just about any animal no matter how small it appears to be.

Chinese Internet and technology company LeEco announced plans to cut about 325 employees and significantly reduce its research and development business in the U.S.
According to LeEco, this employee layoff will affect all departments. However, the research and development team was hit the hardest. The company's San Diego office, which is mainly comprised of its R&D team, will be closed, and employees who survived this layoff will mainly provide services to customers who already bought LeEco's products.
An insider revealed that after this restructuring, LeEco's employees of American business will decrease to about 50 people.
Meanwhile, LeEco will suffer executive losses. Rob Chandhok, who is responsible for R&D business in North America, and Danny Bowman, LeEco's chief revenue officer, will depart the company.
LeEco will continue to sell smartphones, smart TVs, TV set-top boxes, and accessories in America. However, after this restructuring, the company's marketing activities will target Chinese-speaking customers in the country.

I am an artist, who made my living in advertising as a commercial Illustrator; from 1954 through 2002. I am an artist who used my paint, brushes, and canvases to call for social, political, economic change. I paint and document African American history specifically; the Civil Rights Marches of the 1960’s, individuals and groups like the Tuskegee Air Men, Black folks in the Old West.
I started with documentary paintings of student marches of the Civil Rights era. The series includes 14 paintings depicting acts of social-political engagement; protest marches, sit-ins from Washington D.C., to Los Angeles.
In the early 1970’s one of my daughters wrote a report about Black Cowboys. Her teacher said there was no such thing as a Black Cowboy. That was the beginning of a series of paintings on the Old West where 1 of 3 cowboys (and women, i.e. Stagecoach Mary Field) were African American, Latino, or Native American. There are 12 paintings in my African Cowboy series. The series led to a show at the CaliforniaMuseum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles.
My paintings were exhibited at local colleges and high schools, U.S. Air Force North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the Great Plains Black Museum.
I stopped exhibiting because it was taking time away from making a living as a commercial artist. So the African Cowboy paintings took the place of some of the Civil Rights paintings that were hanging on the walls of my home.
My goal has been, and continues to be, expanding the public knowledge of the contributions made by ordinary and extraordinary Africans throughout the world and specifically in the Americas.
Riea Owens is a freelance artist born, and raised in Pasadena, California.
As a child Riea developed an interest in art, cultures, and fashion.
her love for “People of the World”.
My art has never followed a particular theme or plan... I just create and record things of beauty. As long as I can remember, I have been inspired by most everything I see, with things found in nature being my favorite.
My love of all things creative began in my early childhood, and were nurtured by both of my parents who were creative in their own rite. Instead of buying me coloring books, they would buy a pad of paper, crayons, paint, and pens then leave me to create my own fantasies.
as a journalistic photographer for a few years but soon traded the people and events in for nature. I guess I have always taken pictures in my mind, but through nature and landscape photography I can express my feelings using my camera to record the beauty I see.
Although I was Biology major in college, I kept gravitating back to my art. My next creative adventure was becoming a Graphic Designer (self taught) in the late 70’s, where I utilized all my talents to communicate whether it be a magazine, a logo, or working on movie posters and billboards.
Whether I am practicing my craft with old school techniques, or utilizing mind bending digital media... I tell stories through my art, be it photography, paintings, prints or anything else I can come up with, that represent all that I have seen and experienced, and all that I can imagine.
highlighting the stories of people and places that have had a significant impact on African-American life today.
My painting pay tribute to: slaves, sharecroppers and countless of others whose lives were often unappreciated during their time. I seek to glorify their existence, presenting them as strong, proud and empowered while also illuminating their plight and showing their pain; their joy together.
As an artist I feel that it is incumbent upon me to tell the story of the African-American experience through my paintings; And in so doing I am telling the story of the many unsung heroes who gave their lives because they refused to submit to the whims of the oppressor.
While my formal work and studies place me in a global environment featuring electronic messages, I was raised in the home of a graphic artist/designer/illustrator, and a home artist. Our private world was rich with art as a means of expression and communication. My father provided all tools available to practice and imagine 2 and 3 dimensional arts. My mother took the items in our house and yard and turned them into art. Both parents patiently nurtured in all six of their children the possibility of expression and communication of mutuality through the arts.
Evans trained early in his father sign shop, Carter’s Printing, and Valentine Photography Studio. In the mid-sixties Evans was selected for the Tutor Art program founded by artist Bill Tara and William Pajaud at Chouinard Art Institute (Cal Arts). During his senior year ofcollege he taught drawing in the Tutor Arts program at Otis Art Institute where he met artist Charles White. During this formative period Evans started a drawing class at Studio Watt, as a result he was awarded a grant to study art at Stanford University in the studio of Nathan Oliveira, Frank Lobdell and Keith Boyle. Evans transferred from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College to California Institute of the Arts at Chouinard where he completed his Bachelor of Fine Art.
As a graphic designer, photographer, educator and fine artist, Evans has an impressive track record as an award winning graphic designer and Senior Art Director for such companies as: J. Walter Thompson Recruitment Advertising – where he produced Ad campaigns for hi-tech finance, aerospace and hospitality accounts. Austin Knight Advertising - where he participated in establishing the Los Angeles office, Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company, Holloway House Publishing, and BSA Advertising. Evans also worked at Warner Bros. Studio Facilities where he helped build a digital prepress system for the Graphic Services Department. He has supervised and designed graphic, promotional and collateral materials for the motion picture and television industry, including having made props for productions such as: Disclosure, Contact, Batman, Family Matters, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, the Craft, Sphere, Space Jam, Mars Attack, Eraser and others.
In 1992, Evans created The Art-Team a program for at-risk youth that brought together young talented artists from various parts of the city to help achieve their dreams which became a reality with the support from the Cultural Affairs Department and Communications Art. After the Rodney King verdict Evans volunteered to help heal the city of Los Angeles, where he and the Art-Team worked on murals and exhibitions throughout the city. In 1997, Evans was invited to become a professor at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where he built two computer labs for the Visual Communications Department and teaches Graphic Design. He is also an arts educator for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where instructs teens and adults in educational art programs.
Studio work: Evans explores painting, watercolors, drawing, photography, digital media and printmaking. He has worked with figurative watercolor, photographed cityscapes, on-objective abstract painting, and photographic composites. Evans’ art has been displayed in museums and galleries, including: KCET- Life and Time art special, M. Hanks Gallery, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California African American Museum - Recent Acquisitions, Highways Performance Space – The death of Emmett Till – Fifty years later. T.G.A. Gallery – California open, and Watts Towers Art Center: Baila con Duende. He was subcontracted for digital art services by artists Richard Wyatt and May Sun for the production of the Robert F. Kennedy Inspiration Park, and the Hollywood Jazz: 1945-1972 mural restoration at Capitol Records.
Evans developed his craft from drawing, painting, printmaking and photography. He is fascinated by technology as a creative medium because it opens new ways of visualizing the world around us. George currently produces digital prints, in which he combines photography and technology with various drawing techniques. Evans states, “The role as an artist is that of Shaman who reflects and expresses life of the village”.
My journey as an artist has been one of learning, perseverance, and creative evolution. I bring poetry about my experience to life with a unique style called Spoken Artwork.
Brought up in New York, South Carolina and the Inland Empire, I have been exposed to an eclectic mix of people who have inspired and guided my experimentation with several art-forms, which complete my circle and cycle of daily inspiration.
God given energy and talent to generate the creative imagery you will experience on this site.
Gregory has had an interest in art and photography since a very early age; with an artist’s eye, he has always had an appreciation for beautiful things. He has a keen awareness that beauty is in the eye of the beholder so identifying beauty that is acceptable to everyone is an unobtainable feat. Accepting that as a fact allowed me to focus on creating art that is beautiful and pleasing to me. If others like it too, then that would be wonderful.
While some of my artistic influences are greats like Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Wassily Kandinsky, and Larry Poons in the art world, Ansel Adams, Berenice Abbott, and Ernst Haas in the world of photography. These artists is where I draw my inspiration, however, I take pains to try to never emulate the greats. It is important to me that I create in the moment; through the relationship that I have built with the God of my understanding, who I believe works through me.
My paintings are, mostly, in the abstract style while my photography is, mostly, the beauty of nature, yet sometimes there is still an abstract bent to it.
I am very appreciative of the Alkebulan’s Artist Gallery for allowing me to share my art with you.
In the days of the dark room there was a technique called “Flopping”. You can create this effect if you take a negative and print on one half or, in our case, one quarter of the page while not exposing the other half (or three quarters). You then flop the negative over and expose the other half of the photographic paper.
I first saw this technique in the digital age in 2007 in the work of John Paul Caponigro while surfing the net looking at photographers’ work. I thought it was gimmicky. Little did I know that in 2 years, I would be obsessed with this gimmick. Let me digress here – the gimmick has its history in photography. Photographers will try anything to make something interesting with light. Whether inside a camera, outside a camera or with special chemical processes, it doesn’t matter. If a gimmick can make something visually interesting and mentally stimulating, photographers are addicted to it. We can be makers of photography or takers of photography, capturing that found object or arranging a scene, we are just trying to get our next visual hit.
The Mandalas for me were just like crack. Still are. I think I know why. I feel it has something to do with the visual sympathetic nervous system. The brain likes patterns, visual rhythms, the brain likes symmetry – balance and again visual rhythm. I feel a meditative euphoria when looking at these images. I am convinced that my brain releases pleasure chemicals when it can create patterns and form shapes out of visual nonsense.
My interest as an artist varies. No matter what medium, I choose, I’m often led by intuition or on a subconscious level. However, there are times when I may see a theme emerging and it is then I focus on that theme and develop it to its end. If this does not occur, I find myself on an exciting journey to see what unfolds. The creative process never ceases to amaze me. I purposely go outside of the box to create an interesting work of art. The artworks featured in this exhibit are Mixed Media Acrylics, Paintings on Silk, and Fiber Wall Hangings. Whatever creative direction chosen, the journey is a step-by-step development of shapes and colors, and most important, keeping a close eye on balance and composition.
When I’m in the mood to paint on silk, the tools needed such as the fabric, the resist (a substance that keeps the dye in place), and dyes are gathered. Whatever the subject matter, when my brush touches the silk and the vibrant dyes flow within the boundaries set by the resist, for me, it is truly a magical and captivating experience.
Regarding my fiber wall hangings, I have a long history of being around fabric. My mom was a seamstress and I have no doubt that much of what I learned was because of her. For years I made my own clothing and at one point in my life, I designed and made garments for a boutique in New York City. Within the past several years, my interest in working with fabric has evolved into finding new way of manipulating it. Instead of looking at fabric as a flat surface, I might roll it, weave it, twist it or tear it and take a totally unexpected direction. I find great joy in the creative process and hope that others appreciate my efforts.
For as long as she can remember, Christen Austin has always had a passion for the visual arts. Much of her childhood was filled with the artistic influence of her mother who she would watch create intricate and detailed portraits with a single stippling pen. As a mainly self-taught artist, Christen has worked with a multitude of media such as graphite, colored pencil, pastel, pen and ink, watercolor, and more recently, acrylic paint. However, her subject matter of interest has never wavered. Much of her work is inspired by the beauty of the human facial structure and extends from the artistic movements of realism and surrealism with a focus on cultural representation and identity from the perspective of an African American woman.
Through art, Christen’s main goal is to provide imagery that embodies the beauty of African American culture and makes people feel empowered, represented, and understood. As she continues to develop as an artist, she hopes to create an expanded body of work that reflects how she views the world and her personal experiences as she seeks to influence and challenge how others view the world as well. Christen currently has several pieces displayed at Pasadena City College which is where she use to attend but has since graduated. She is now a student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona where she majors in biology.
Art is my first language. I use many artistic disciplines to communicate- Digital Graphics Arts, Fashion Design, Film, Photography, Motionography, Poetry & Lyricism, Sound Design, Musical Composition, Guerilla Marketing- and though seemingly disparate all my work is connected by a thread of inquiry into my inner dialogues, my concerns, desires, frustrations, admirations, discoveries, confusions, perplexities, distractions, needs, passions, and conflicts.
Art is an intimate and mutual exchange between artist and witness; it transforms the moment of capturing someone’s attention into a bridge for joining intelligence on a multi-way street. I use Technology as my tool to express art through copious colors, fractals, dark lights, distracting sounds, complex textures, interactive rhythms, responsive motion, intellectual wearables, unobvious words, oxymoronic humor, abstract allegories, and more in attempt to stimulate as many different senses of an audience’s attention as possible.
I began creating at the age of 8 experimenting with digital composition, having the distinct privilege of both my parents being Software Developers, as well as photographers & thespians; it has been of great benefit incubating in an environment where both logic & abstraction were welcome.
My early start helped, but it is my passionate engagement with the field that continues to pay off; Since 2010 I have been won the Graphic Arts Award for e-retailer NewEgg.com (2012), had my artwork shared by Netflix’s Marvel’s Daredevil (2016), been interviewed by France’s Inter “Vivre en vrai et vivre en ligne” (2014), commissioned to design the logo for the Neukom Institute at Dartmouth College (2011), featured in National Geographic’s documentary “Original Sin” (2016) and am an official Comic-Con professional.
MAURICE HOWARD was born in Waco, Texas and raised in Southern California. When he was three years old, his family relocated to France, where his father served in the military. After a few years in Europe, they returned to the United States.
At the age of 19, Howard became inspired to paint. He attended several independent art schools and later enrolled into Cal State Fullerton College, where he majored in art illustration. After completing college, he was hired by Hanna-Barbera Production Studio, as an “In-betweener” in the animation department.
Inspired by Salvador Dali, M.C. Escher and African-American graphic artist and painter Charles White, Howard’s style of work can be viewed across the board, from realism to surrealism. Using a mixture of pencil, acrylic and oil, he creates rich images and stunning abstracts that are exceptionally unique. Once you view his work for an extended time, a mysterious image appears under his continuous layers of lines and curves.
Today, Maurice credits much of his success to his mentor and world-renowned artist Charles Bibbs, who has given him continued support and motivation. Maurice is currently serving as a member of Art2000 Visual Artists Association, an organization founded by Charles Bibbs to support young and emerging artists.
Jackie Ellis is a free lance artist and a resident of Altadena California where she has lived most of her life. She attended John Muir High School and shortly after went to work for a local billing company. Her interest in art did not present itself until many years later, when her youngest son, serving in the military, was deployed to Iraq. Needing something to do to combat her worries, she was encouraged by her husband to start painting.
She created her big eyed “Say Cheese” caricatures because she wanted her art to exemplify the warm and happy feelings she experienced when browsing through family photo albums. “I’m sure everyone can relate to the joy of looking at pictures of family, friends, and love ones, posing and saying cheese” she has stated.
Currently Jackie is enjoying retirement and family which includes her husband, two sons and three granddaughters. She is still painting. Abstracts are her favorite form of art, although she loves all aspects. Her present interests are in cityscapes, landscapes and trees. Jackie has no formal training or education in art, but says that it is something that she would definitely like to do now that she has the time.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Erin G. Wesley is a self-taught, photographer, filmmaker and illustrator. Wesley was fortunate enough to be surrounded by several family members who are creative in their own right. Spending most of her life in a bustling creative environment, no doubt, contributed to her growth as an artist.
As an “artistic storyteller,” Wesley’s overall aim is to create visual experiences that inspire freedom, purpose and imagination. She holds value in connected-ness and firmly believes that through art, our shared experiences emerge. Her commitment is to provide meaningful, inclusive, and boundless visual imagery that represents who she is and depicts the world we share.
A wanderer by nature, the bulk of her work is inspired by her global journeys. She tells the stories of her subjects via journalistic-style portraits, most of which are photographed intimately - no more than two or three feet away. In regard to her drawings, her method closely mimics that of her photographic works, in that the subject is depicted in an up-close and personal way. With a combination of micro pigment ink and markers, she creates highly stylized, but recognizable portraits comprised of repetitive lines and intricate patterns.

“My artwork is the reflection of an inner journey, both intuitive and spiritual. After years of teaching, nurturing, empowering and inspiring my students, I’ve finally given myself “permission” to explore my own personal art making with unabashed joy.
I am an artist. I could stop there as that sums me up with a neat bow. I have been considered quirky, creative, odd and over-the-top by many people my whole life. Long before dyslexia was common, I had it. I was left-handed in a right-handed world. I made things out of recycled and broken things, I noticed lights, shadows and color. I tinkered, made jewelry, clothes, crafted and designed every space I’ve had since I was young. Unbeknownst to me, art was in my DNA. However, painting and sketching didn’t reveal themselves to me until late in 2005. My mother, an accomplished watercolor artist, bought me a paint kit for Christmas... hoping to stimulate an interest. I was ticked off, because I didn’t paint and had no interest. (I am largely self-taught, but I absorb technique everywhere and I listen to fellow-artist’s suggestions.) My mother painted beautifully and that was intimidating. Coincidentally, shortly thereafter, Gordon Parks was showing in LA and I had an opportunity to meet and briefly speak with him. Meeting that artistic genius really was intimidating. However, he was kind, humble and encouraging. After our talk, I was inspired by his work and words, and I remembered the unopened paint kit. Since they both believed in me and both encouraged me... what could it hurt to try? My first attempt was inspired by a Gorden Parks black and white photo. Since 2005, I have had a few works commissioned for a National organization. For the past 3 years, a great deal of my art has been creating digital doodles, using my cell phone stylus. I have hundreds of characters ready and a doodle book is planned. Painting and art in general are my comfortable places. A space where I am amongst my own. Here in the world of creatives, I’m a little less quirky and a little less odd. I’m accepted. I am an artist.

In June, the National Park Foundation was proud to partner with the National Park Service to honor an incredible group of national park supporters. Each year, nearly 250,000 volunteers provide invaluable support throughout the National Park System by donating their time, talent, and energy to America’s most treasured places.
The George and Helen Hartzog Awards for Outstanding Volunteer Service recognize the exemplary contributions of individuals of all ages and backgrounds who help strengthen our national parks across the country. I would like to tell you the story of one of these amazing volunteers.
Thelma Johnson is 80 years old and she loves to wear pink. She has also donated over 2,000 hours of her own time to cook and serve meals to volunteers on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail in Wisconsin. These volunteers come together for up to five days of hard labor and camping out through the Mobile Skills Crew program, and for the past 12 years Thelma has been there to make sure these crews are well fed.
I was able to visit the Mobile Skills Crew in St. Croix, Wisconsin, to see these volunteers – and Thelma – in action. The crews were building brand new trails to connect the different sections of the Ice Age Trail throughout the state. They were digging in the dirt to pull up large, heavy rocks and constructing new boardwalks to make sure the trails were safe and enjoyable for hikers for years to come. This was really physical, hard work.
Thelma and her crew were hard at work too, cooking up a comfort food feast for hundreds of volunteers. Everyone knew to stay out of Thelma’s kitchen tent, where she was clearly in charge, but she was also quick to come out to say hello and give her fellow volunteers big hugs. Even in the summer heat and severe thunderstorms, Thelma went out of her way to care for all of the people who were devoting their time to improve the trail. She is truly the heart of the Mobile Skills Crew and I am honored to have enjoyed her delicious meal.

Definition of testicular cancer: Cancer that forms in tissues of one or both testicles. Testicular cancer is most common in young or middle-aged men. Most testicular cancers begin in germ cells (cells that make sperm) and are called testicular germ cell tumors.
In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the tiny tubules where the sperm cells begin to develop. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. All tumor marker levels are normal.
In stage I, cancer has formed. Stage I is divided into stage IA, stage IB, and stage IS and is determined after an inguinal orchiectomy is done.
Stage II is divided into stage IIA, stage IIB, and stage IIC and is determined after an inguinal orchiectomy is done.
The level of one or more tumor markers is high.

Here's another homegrown band. Moghul are sludge/doom outfit from the dark, dank depths of Birmingham.Dead Empires is their debut EP which has just recently been released by Devizes Records, who are home to Fukpig amongst others. This is a might two track EP that's been pressed on awesome looking green vinyl.
It's no surprise that Moghul sound the way they do. After all they come from the home of metal and the Black Sabbath influence is definitely present. On opening song Dead Empires, Moghul present huge, towering riffs and pounding drums. Brooding yet melodic leads break up the thick sludge-ridden sound.This is properly heavy stuff. After some initial clean vocals, Moghul's mainly instrumental groove is broken up by some gut-wrenchingly low growls. They create a pretty epic soundscape, with a constant low end underpinning it all. The solo about seven minutes is awesome. It's restrained yet fits the winding dirge of the music really well. With their dual low/high screams toward the end, they've certainly got the measure of the Black Country with this!
Hidden Hand could be Moghul's nod to the American doom legends of the same name. It's got more melody in its opening bars but once that's out of the way, it's back to business. The dual guitar melodies are near soul warming! Moghul make use of three vocalists amongst their ranks and all contribute to good effect here. Hidden Hand is a thirteen minute behemoth and certainly not for those without an attention span. An epic, winding piece of sludge that would satisfy even the most hardened fan of the genre. The layers that present themselves in the music deserve repeat listens, as that's the only way you'll truly appreciate all that Moghul have to offer.
These guys certainly know what they are doing and easy listening isn't a word in their vocabulary. If you like your riffs thick and your music slow, you should definitely invest in this record, especially on vinyl! Superb stuff.
You can buy digital versions of Dead Empires from bandcamp or you can pick up the sumptuous vinyl from Devizes Records at http://www.ds.bigcartel.com.

Seattle, WA -- This falls into the needlessly dumb category: A man set his house on fire and caused $60k in damages when he tried killing a spider. The man used a can of spray paint and a lighter to try and light the spider on fire.
A fire spokesman said no injuries were reported.
There were two residents living in the home and they are being provided temporary shelter by the Red Cross.
No word on if the spider survived.

Currently in development is my FIRST Online Training Course!!
Click on the LINK to sign up for Release Date information and Updates!
As you can imagine, this being the first course I have developed, its a pretty scary exercise, but I am really excited about it!
Learning to use Photoshop properly completely unlocked a whole new world of creativity for me and changed the way I thought about art and photography completely.
I know a lot of people are wary of how big and complicated Photoshop can be, so I hope to make learning that much easier, so people can have fun, feeling confident to experiment and try new things!
I have never made a pastry pie like this, nor have I done a lattice top before so this was exciting!
Bought some fresh plums and poached in a cinnamon sugar syrup. Reduced the syrup down until thick.
This is a new pie dish I got recently, its a small one but fits well into frame and therefore looks much bigger.
Got some frozen pre made flaky pastry, left out in the sun to thaw.
Lined dish with a layer of pastry, added fruit and sauce, and carefully cut and assembled the lattice. Brushed with egg and baked.
Slightly dark on the edges but look at all that lovely PUFF – much better than my last pastry experiment!
After mucking around with the pie for ages, time to cut a wedge on to a plate.
A dollop of greek yoghurt on top to finish – possibly a bit heavy on the drops and drizzles and it ran down, just making the plate look dirty instead. Lesson learned!
A cleaner plate and a different angle and a less cluttered background – am liking this one a lot more.
1. Don’t line the dish with pastry too, it wont cook.
2. My oven is still a bit hot – this puffed well and browned up but wasn’t properly cooked through.
3. Reduce your sauce even more, the juice in the fruit will dilute it.
4. Look at that gorgeous colour!
5. I need nicer plates – this is too plain.
6. Greek yoghurt is very white but holds its shape much better than whipped cream and doesn’t melt over everything. Useful standin!
8. Wear your glasses !
9. I shot this nearly in the dark and you would never know – OMG I love my flash and softbox!
10. Coffee crystals AKA big sugar granules look FAB!
Time to step up my game and start making food specifically for the camera. I had some ripe apricots and a pomegranate, and experimented with one way of combining them, but it didnt work out so well.
Today I bought this giant vanilla meringue, setup the shoot – broke it apart, loaded it with greek yoghurt/creme fraiche, apricots and shot it.
Everytime I shoot I make ALL OF THE MISTAKES!!!
Still looked pretty good tho!
– if you are mixing up whites, make sure they are the same tones – the white of the board is quite blue toned but the plate is a lot warmer and then the meringue etc is other tones of white.
– on your first shots ZOOM IN AT 100% and view – and check for cat hairs!!
I have two white long hair cats and the fur gets into everything! There are two in this shot and I didnt notice til 3/4 way thru, so most of my shots were wasted.
– if you want your food to look messily assembled – you have to work carefully to make it LOOK like that!
I am TOTALLY eating this BTW !
One one of my food FB groups, a lady posted an image of gorgeous pink swirly meringue looking things – turns out they are an east european dessert called Zephyr.
The recipe is a bit fiddly and my piping bag was too small and I made a bit of a mess. Plus I wasn’t sure how much working time before it set so I could pipe them – turns out there was plenty of time – its sets over several hours.
Today was camera day – carefully transferred over to a clean sheet of baking paper, onto the tray and into the studio.
I think I positioned them a bit too far apart for the size, the camera exaggerates distance, so I will remember that for next time.
These were made with tinned cherries but came out much paler than I expected.
This was a new recipe for me and made a few mistakes, lots of learning and ideas of ways to fix it for next time. Despite that I still got nice swirls that were set and able to be shot and moved about without too much damage.
Plus they get to be eaten once finished!
That was a fun way to spend 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon!
Its expensive to have to gather a collection together so my philosophy was simple – get simple classic pieces that can be used over and over again – the extra fluffy bits you put with it can change the mood/theme/style as necessary.
This means we can build up a solid library of elements that can be used in a variety of different ways.
Make friends with secondhand shop owners – I was such a regular at one place, they knew I was looking for old tarnished silver ware and they had a box full from an estate sale they didn’t want to polish. I got about 12 good pieces for $10!
Third – Make stuff if you can. I made a whole heap of my own backgrounds. Note this isn’t necessarily the cheapest option, but you get a totally unique look, plus the skills to make new ones to suit in the future if needed.
Also with backgrounds I use plain black and white a lot as well – either FoamCore sheets or big sheets of heavy grade cardboard (from art shops). Light and easy to work with – double sided. I also have smaller ones to use as my reflectors and V-flats.
Lots of people use vinyl backgrounds they have purchased online, unfortunately its way too expensive to ship them here to NZ, plus the exchange rate doesn’t work in my favour a lot either. So I opted to make my own, but there are LOVELY options you can by online.
I use fabric a lot – first I was really afraid of it because I couldn’t get it to look right. Then I realised that using the right colour fabric and also the texture of it makes a big difference.
I use white fabric a lot to drape in the backgrounds and hide the join between the background and backdrop. If you buy big quantities from fabric supply places its more cost effective and you can cut smaller pieces off and hem for napkin sizes etc.
Here is a draped background shot showing the effect.
This is a sample of some of the different coloured fabrics – this probably 20% of my total collection.
I buy a lot on line – Etsy, Silk&Willow and Mollycoddle (baby prop supplies) are my main sources.
Here is an example with one of the light open weave fabrics, used to soften and frame the lavender salt.
OK this is where it can get expensive, but it doesn’t have to. I have spent a couple of years building up my collection, and I am *absolutely* on a budget here. Take some time and scrounge, shop online for bargains, find out where other people get stuff.
My cutlery is all old tarnished vintage stuff, it doesn’t reflect as much as shiny new stuff, and I personally prefer the classic styling.
My plates are all simple plain MATTE finish (very important) and I have a collection of old tarnished silverware as well. Love my round slice of wood board, that was a recent treat.
Old glass bottles are good for background interest and stand in for milk bottles. Glass jars are good as well. My most favourite piece of all is a big slice of black slate that was designed as a cheeseboard. Its very matte and textured and looks great in close up shots – see below.
Ribbons, string, snips, feathers, fairy lights, dried leaves, nuts, twigs, dried berries, fresh flowers and so on.
My first bit of advice is decide on the style you like for propping your shoots. I use Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration a lot. Build up some boards and see if an obvious theme develops.
Then use that as a basis for building a list of base props to start with – some plates, cutlery, fabric, backgrounds. Enough to get you started.
Remember – HAVE FUN and play 🙂 That is how we all learn!
Got a splendid haul of red currants in the garden this year and what better way to showcase them than with a gorgeous tarnished silver jug on a clean white background?
Anyway, I have seen a bit of discussion in some of the food photography groups I am on about styling a shoot. Some people are uncertain about choice of props or what they can do. Some are possibly a bit impatient and want to get into the fun of shooting.
White painted beadboard base with white foamcore against the wall for background.
There is an obvious shadow and dark join where these two meet so I use the white fabric to hide that line. It also adds soft texture in the background when shot high key and with a f stop that blurs it in the background – F4 in this instance.
First setup – scrunch the paper towel into the jug so it mostly fills it, and then fill the front side with currants and scatter a few around artistically.
Drape fabric in the background so it looks nice.
OK now we have the background sorted! Now to the subject itself….
First we went and picked more currants and filled in all of the top so we could do other angles of shots. Making sure that all the holed are full and it looks nicely overflowing.
In reality the layer of currants is about an inch deep, but you would never know….
Top shot and the decorative currants on the boards are not looking so good on this angle, need more.
Yes I like this angle better but we have some currants that need to be moved – one just above the handle and the one above the lip of the jug are intruding.
A side on shot from a DIFFERENT angle again and I am liking this a lot but there is now a currant behind the bottom of the jug handle that needs to be moved.
And the final shot – also edited in Lightroom.
Lots of little tweaks here and there, paying attention to the details, starting from the background and working forward to the subject.
Then we work the subject across ALL angles, and different angles require different prop/styling changes.
