The right container can make all the difference in forestry seedlings. These are size D40 dibble tubes (40 cubic inches or 655 cubic centimeters), available from Stuewe.com. The ribs on the inside of the tubes stop roots from spiraling around the container. The open bottoms of the containers help air prune the roots and form a compact root plug for planting. We like D40s for larger forestry seedlings to be planted in weedy areas so that the seedlings can quickly grow above the weeds.
"I establish boundaries which determine both what is collected and where it is collected from. Accumulating and assembling single-coloured objects, I consider the psychological influence of colour, its effect and sensory impact upon the viewer.”
Chroma is the culmination of Manchester artist Liz West’s interests and ideas over a five-year period.This new body of work, site-specific to BLANKSPACE, explores the themes of colour theory, collecting and the exploration of real and illusory space.
West’s playful and magical works, each of which she builds by hand, consist of unexpected and carefully arranged combinations of materials. Systems of ordering, classification and coding are applied in the development and generation of West’s work. She invokes the monumental, whilst utilising commonplace objects that are found and collected from the world around her

1. Are there any big differences between your culture and American culture?
Yes big time. My culture is very conservative. Gender equality is making some headway, but traditionally it is not something that is accepted. Religion is a big part of our culture too. Many of the social and political norms are strictly based off of Islam. To give an example of how conservative it is, or whatever, a guy can be sent to jail (and deported if hes not from the country) if he is even accused of talking to a girl improperly. One time, a distant relative was stuck in traffic and a random lady got into his car, demanded all his money or she would accuse him of harassment. Its such a big deal over there that he had no choice. (alot of random thoughts there, hope it helps)
2. What do parents in your culture expect of their children?
They expect the most. The way it works is that the oldest child is expected to take care of the parents once they grow old. They expect their kids to get an education, get married, have a family they can support, etc.
3. In your country do women have all the same opportunities as men?/ Are men and women treated the same?
In the new generations equality is occurring moreso than in the older ones. Girls in families are much more protected than guys. They are shielded from harm and danger, and the men in the family are expected to protect them. This is in contrast to here, where you'll see 8th graders going out to get drunk. That definitely doesn't happen over there.
4. How are gender roles different in your culture than in the US?
5. Do you feel like it was hard to adapt to American culture?
For my parents it was, and they are still trying to adapt. When they first moved here, they didn't really know what to expect and didn't really know what was going on. Their values and traditions were still based on their home country's, so there was a tough transition period. I think that the older the kids get, the better they get at adapting because there are so many different things that we do as teenagers and whatnot that they didn't do. It took me forever to convince them that 10pm was not an acceptable curfew, even though my dad insisted that he would always have to be home by 8. So it took them some getting used to.
6. Does your culture expect you to be like everyone else or act as an individual?
Good question

It’s been a long time coming but we were recently commissioned to do our first big wall in about 18 months for a company which invests in new drugs. I have to say that it felt good to be out and about and painting again for a client.
We’ve spent too long left with our own ideas so it was nice to have a brief - which only really asked for one thing, which was to include some reference to the drugs they had invested in. Given that some of the logos were quite cool anyway that seemed the obvious way to go. As always the hardest part is coming up with a design but once that is out of the way and signed off though it's on to the fun part; throwing some paint at a wall.
Cheers

I am your typical looking Middle Eastern man. The only difference between my looks and other men is that I have Trichotillomania. I’ve had Trichotillomania for half of my life—since the age of 13. I have already talked about Trichotillomania and so this is more like Part II. The reason I am writing this is because of the big support I had gotten from people, especially trichsters, and so I feel the need to make Trichotillomania more known just because it affects the lives of many.
Trichotillomania has many negatives effects on a person such as the person might start having low self-esteem, low self-image, depression, shame, fear of being found out, fear of rejection, fear of humiliation, fear of public places, fear of relationships, feeling of despair and helplessness, feeling of being unworthy, misunderstood and uncared for. But for me one of the worst effects of Trichotillomania is actually making me hate taking pictures of myself, not because I love taking pictures of myself—I don’t—but I would love to have decent pictures of me and my nephew and two nieces for at least memories sake. Sometimes I wonder, “What if I get married one day, wouldn’t my wife or kids want to know how I looked like 10 years ago?” But for me getting married doesn’t seem like such a good idea because Trichotillomania is genetic: I simply don’t want my kids to have this terrible disorder. Beside, I don't want to make my family live through this sheltered life I am living because of Trichotillomania.
Trichsters often feel uncared for and unworthy. For example, I’ve always prayed to be healed from Trichotillomania and for many years I rationalized the fact God has not answered my prayer by things such as, “May be He is testing my faith,” or, “What if He wants me to be more patient?”, or, “What if Trichotillomania is some kind of a blessing?”, or, “May be God doesn’t heal nowadays as He did in the Gospel times.” But when I read the Bible I can't help but notice that most of Jesus’ healing have the same pattern…immediately:
“Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.” Mark 1:42
“Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.” Mark 5:29
“Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old).” Mark 5:42
“Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.” Mark 10:52
“Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak.” Luke 1:64
So when I read those verses I had to ask myself, “Why doesn't Jesus heal me like the Bible says?" There are no ‘if’s or ‘but’s here. There aren't those thoughts we often have such as ‘more patient’, ‘disease is a blessing’, ‘pain is God’s will for our lives’…” I wondered, "Why does it look and work so differently for me?" Then I usually comforted myself by thinking, "May be it is not just me; may be it is like this for all of us." Then one day someone told me about the miraculous healing of their pet by God and I immediately felt that God cares about their pet more than He does about me. I had never felt as worthless as in that moment. Then I asked, “How much does an animal understand about ‘faith’, ‘patient’, 'pain' and 'blessings'?!” So I stopped trying to explain a God that's much wiser than I can ever fathom.

Of course Trichotillomania is like a mystery disorder that people have hard time understanding and that’s why trichsters feel very misunderstood. For example, a classmate asked me recently why do I always wear baseball caps, and I told her that’s because I have a hair pulling disorder called Trichotillomania, and she asked, “Your hair or other people’s hair?” I had to laugh when she asked this and I explained to her it is like nail biting—you don’t bite someone else’s nails.
A couple of months ago my sister asked me, “Why do you have bald spots on your head?” (I don’t understand why some people who know me very well keeps asking me this; I mean they know very well that I have Trichotillomania. It is like you need to wear hearing aids and people keep asking you, "What are those things in your ears?!") And I told her, “Because I pull my hair out.” And she answered, “People wish they have hair and you pull your hair out!” It is like saying, “You bite your nails because you don’t like having nails.” If I want to get rid of my head’s hair I would just shave it! I won't choose to have bald spots here and there! I wrote the above two examples just to show how little Trichotillomania is known. The simplest way to understand Trichotillomania is to use common sense by treating it like any other obsessive disorder.

Anyway, I hope you like the capture. Of course, it is very hard and rare for me to photograph myself and that’s why there aren’t any pictures of me on my flickr photostream. I also hate dressing formally because that means I can't wear a baseball cap which means I can't cover my bald spots! But as an engineering student sometimes I am "forced" to dress formally. By the way, this picture looks very little like me in real life, simply because I used the lighting and Gimp to my advantage in covering my bald hair spots, and covering my left eyelashes and eyebrows. Thank God for Gimp!

A newer section with closely packed headstones can be seen in the background as the older foreground is allowed to run wild. There are fewer people to care for individual headstones so thin paths are left for you to peer through the grasses towards them, otherwise they'd be completely lost.

"A diferença se encontra no lugar onde os olhos são guardados.Se os olhos estão na caixa de ferramentas, eles são apenas ferramentas que usamos por sua função prática.Com eles vemos objetos, sinais luminosos,nomes de ruas e ajustamos a nossa ação. O ver se subordina ao fazer.Isso é necessário.Mas é muito pobre.Os olhos não gozam...Mas, quando os olhos estão na caixa dos brinquedos, eles se transformam em órgãos de prazer: brincam com o que vêem, olham pelo prazer de olhar, querem fazer amor com o mundo."

"The difference is where you keep your eyes.If you keep it in a toolbox, they're just a tool we use in a practical function.With them we see objects, signs, street's names and help our actions.The look subordinates the act of doing something.This is necessary.But it's poor.The eyes do not enjoy...but,when the eyes are in a toy box, they become a pleasure organ: they play with everything they see, they look for the pleasure of looking, want to make love with the world."

Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.
