Inviting festival-goers to slow down, reflect on how to be a loving activist and citizen, and hand-make healthy and strategic responses to injustices harming our world. Expect thoughtful provocation and threads of radical hope woven through every session across the weekend.
There were so many opportunities to find out more about – and take part in – Sarah’s gentle, quiet and creative campaigning.
A packed weekend for Sarah who wanted to do even more but there was no capacity:
1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Stitchable Changemakers' 90min workshop for 50 participants to learn how they could use their gifts, talents, content and power to be the most effective and compassionate gentle protesters on issues they care about
2. 1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Dream-Making ' 90min workshop for 50 participants to channel their anger and sadness at injustices they see into focusing on what utopian visions they want to see, hear, smell, touch and even taste as their dream
(e.g. save the bees changes to 'I dream of happy bees') which then helps each maker learn ways they can be part of the dream they wish to see - all based on neuroscience.
3. "Crafterthoughts' evening session where craftivists brought their own projects to Show and tell us about including the successes, challenges, learnings and answer any questions by others. Some people came with half formed ideas they wanted advice on from the group on how to deliver effectively and strategically. Some people came just to listen and learn. All made new connections and friends and you could feel the solidarity and encouragement in the room!
4. Sunday sunset last event was our climate craftivism performance: Craftivist Collective members joined members of Leena Norms’ Gumption Club wearing their upcycled 'Canary Craftivists' outfits to walk silently through the festival and sit as a flock to send photos and a handmade happy lifesized canary to the local MP and the owner of the festival grounds to encourage them to protest Greenbelt festival from the climate crisis and do what they can to act faster and bolder to create a healthier world
5. Planned pop-up appearance at The Caravan of Love for passersby to take part in a 10minute drop in craftivism workshop supporting Fashion Revolution to take home and 'shop drop'
6. Planned pop-up appearance under a free in the festival's mini forest area for passersby to take part in a 15minute drop in craftivism workshop choosing one of 5 Gentle Nudge messages on woven labels to sew into their clothes or accessories to encourage them as kind citizens and stewards of our planet
7. Overflowing tent of hundreds of people for Sarah interviewing Patrick Grant: BBC Great British Sewing Bee judge and fashion designer interviewing him about his work and book 'Less' whilst 3 craftivists sat on stage with us silently make Mini Fashion Statements during the session that Patrick then threw out into the audience encouraging them to 'shop-drop' these handwritten mini scrolls into fast fashion shop pockets or their friends pockets to encourage shoppers to ask 'who made these clothes' and be curious consumers
8. Sarah wrote and handstitched a prayer she was asked to read at the Sunday Communion on stage infront of thousands of attendees.
9. Throughout the festival Sarah was interviewed for social media teams for Greenbelt, Christian Aid and podcasts and had informal conversations with festival goers

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

this is gabe. He can spout a soliloquy from Shakespeare with the least provocation, and can make wonderful faces, too. I didn't take this picture. A five-year old girl, McKenna, asked me if she could take a picture with my camera. I reluctantly agreed since the camera is worth more than my car. I put the strap around her neck and told her to just press the silver button. She couldn't get the hang of the autofocus at first and I had to stop her from trying to clean the lens on her pants leg because the image was blurry.
Then she took this great shot of Gabe.

Aerospace giant Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) rallied to a four-month high on Thursday after President Donald Trump walked away from a Hanoi peace summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The world's largest defense contractor builds state-of-the-art missile and anti-missile systems as well as fighter jets that could be used to deliver payloads in the event of a military clash with the rogue nation.
The stock fell to a two-year low in December, carving the steepest correction since 2008, even though military experts warned repeatedly that negotiations were likely to fail. The aborted summit is likely to be followed by new provocations that include the resumption of North Korean missile testing. In turn, that could speed plans to deploy Lockheed's anti-missile defense systems in vulnerable Pacific islands and the U.S. west coast.
LMT Long-Term Chart (1995 – 2019)
The stock's current incarnation began with the March 1995 public offering that followed Lockheed Corporation's merger with Martin Marietta Corporation. The IPO opened near $26 and turned higher in a strong uptrend that topped out in the upper $50s in 1998. It sold off to an all-time low at $16.38 in 1999 and bounced strongly, completing a round trip into the prior high in the first quarter of 2002. A breakout into mid-year reversed after adding 12 points, dropping to an 18-month low at $41 in 2003.
It took three years for the subsequent recovery wave to reach the 2002 high, yielding an immediate breakout and uptrend that topped out at $120 just six weeks before the October 2008 market swoon. The stock got cut in half in the next six months, dropping to the lowest low since 2005, ahead of a bounce into the upper $80s. That peak marked resistance for the next three years, finally yielding a breakout to new highs in 2013.
The stock posted impressive gains for five years, hitting an all-time high at $363 in February 2018 and turning sharply lower into July. A strong bounce reversed at a lower high in October, setting the stage for a 110-point slide into year end. The 2019 uptick ended the first trip into the 50-month exponential moving average (EMA) since a 2012 breakout as well as the first decline into the .382 Fibonacci retracement of the nine-year uptrend. It has recouped about 70 points so far this year, remounting the 50-week EMA while signaling a potential bottom.
The monthly stochastics oscillator dropped into the oversold zone and turned higher in July 2018, but the bullish signal failed just three months later. It bounced above the prior low in January 2019 and crossed over once again, carving a secondary buy signal. However, the 2018 whipsaw makes it hard to trust the current upward trajectory, at least until the indicator lifts above the September peak at the 60% level.
LMT Short-Term Chart (2017 – 2019)
Two-sided price action between January and November 2018 carved a broad declining channel pattern that broke to the downside in December. The stock remounted new resistance in January, signaling a bullish failure-of-a-failure while reestablishing channel support now centered below $280. As a result, a pullback into that price zone could mark a low-risk buying opportunity for long-term positions.
The on-balance volume (OBV) accumulation-distribution indicator posted an all-time high in April and turned lower in an orderly distribution phase that reached a 17-month low in December. Buying pressure since that time has been impressive, traversing more than half the distance back to the high, but the red line of lower highs could slow or stall accumulation in the coming weeks. Even so, this former market leader could easily trade at new highs in 2019.
The Bottom Line
Lockheed Martin stock is attracting buying interest after President Trump walked away from the Kim summit without a denuclearization deal.

Festival capacity 12,000. Kettering UK
Inviting festival-goers to slow down, reflect on how to be a loving activist and citizen, and hand-make healthy and strategic responses to injustices harming our world. Expect thoughtful provocation and threads of radical hope woven through every session across the weekend.
There were so many opportunities to find out more about – and take part in – Sarah’s gentle, quiet and creative campaigning.
A packed weekend for Sarah who wanted to do even more but there was no capacity:
1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Stitchable Changemakers' 90min workshop for 50 participants to learn how they could use their gifts, talents, content and power to be the most effective and compassionate gentle protesters on issues they care about
2. 1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Dream-Making ' 90min workshop for 50 participants to channel their anger and sadness at injustices they see into focusing on what utopian visions they want to see, hear, smell, touch and even taste as their dream
(e.g. save the bees changes to 'I dream of happy bees') which then helps each maker learn ways they can be part of the dream they wish to see - all based on neuroscience.
3. "Crafterthoughts' evening session where craftivists brought their own projects to Show and tell us about including the successes, challenges, learnings and answer any questions by others. Some people came with half formed ideas they wanted advice on from the group on how to deliver effectively and strategically. Some people came just to listen and learn. All made new connections and friends and you could feel the solidarity and encouragement in the room!
4. Sunday sunset last event was our climate craftivism performance: Craftivist Collective members joined members of Leena Norms’ Gumption Club wearing their upcycled 'Canary Craftivists' outfits to walk silently through the festival and sit as a flock to send photos and a handmade happy lifesized canary to the local MP and the owner of the festival grounds to encourage them to protest Greenbelt festival from the climate crisis and do what they can to act faster and bolder to create a healthier world
5. Planned pop-up appearance at The Caravan of Love for passersby to take part in a 10minute drop in craftivism workshop supporting Fashion Revolution to take home and 'shop drop'
6. Planned pop-up appearance under a free in the festival's mini forest area for passersby to take part in a 15minute drop in craftivism workshop choosing one of 5 Gentle Nudge messages on woven labels to sew into their clothes or accessories to encourage them as kind citizens and stewards of our planet
7. Overflowing tent of hundreds of people for Sarah interviewing Patrick Grant: BBC Great British Sewing Bee judge and fashion designer interviewing him about his work and book 'Less' whilst 3 craftivists sat on stage with us silently make Mini Fashion Statements during the session that Patrick then threw out into the audience encouraging them to 'shop-drop' these handwritten mini scrolls into fast fashion shop pockets or their friends pockets to encourage shoppers to ask 'who made these clothes' and be curious consumers
8. Sarah wrote and handstitched a prayer she was asked to read at the Sunday Communion on stage infront of thousands of attendees.
9. Throughout the festival Sarah was interviewed for social media teams for Greenbelt, Christian Aid and podcasts and had informal conversations with festival goers
