It began with a challenge from their computer teacher, who told them there was “no way they would actually do something about the lack of computer technology in their school.” These fifteen students set out to prove him wrong by forming SHATO, a school-wide technology initiative aimed at educating students about the internet, online research, and web-based communication as well as lobbying local school boards for increased technology in the classroom. In just six months their project has grown to include more than thirty core members who have mentored hundreds of students. In addition, they’ve secured several smart boards, computer labs, and large-screen projectors. Their next steps? Helping students use their newly learned skills to apply to college.

ELTON JOHN MESMERISES 5,000 FANS
3-hour non-stop performance by Piano Man
GENTING HIGHLANDS, 22 November 2011 – About 5,000 fans packed the Arena of Stars here Tuesday night for the first ever performance in Malaysia by superstar Sir Elton John.
The crowd cheered and sang along with the Piano Man as he enthralled them his classic hits as well as recent numbers from his latest album ‘The Union’, released in 2010.
‘Saturday Night’s Alright’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Candle in the Wind’, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ were just a handful of his iconic and evergreen songs performed during the show, leaving his fans with another unforgettable night of music.
The concert started off with an opening by the 2CELLOS, made up of young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser who later joined the ensemble throughout the concert that ended at 11 pm.
Elton John & Band Greatest Hits Tour in Malaysia was the first project by Tune Live, the entertainment arm of Tune Group. Tune Live is the promoter for the concert.
For Elton, putting together a “Greatest Hits Tour” was a great passion as he was joined on the road once again by his long-time band; Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson, Bob Birch, Kim Bullard and John Mahon, all dedicated and superbly talented musicians who have been playing alongside the piano man for many years.
Another highlight of the concert was the four backing singers, which included the incredible Rose Stone (Sly And The Family Stone) together with Lisa Stone, Tata Vega and Jean Witherspoon.
This was also the first time that 2CELLOS will join the ensemble. The young Croatian duo, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser recently took YouTube by storm, quickly landing a recording deal with Sony Music.
Elton’s most recent studio album ‘The Union’, released by Universal Music in October 2010 was recorded with Elton’s long-time musical idol and world-renowned pianist and songwriter, Leon Russell. ‘The Union’ sees the duo and a glittering array of guests get back to the nitty-gritty of what they love about rock n’ roll.
Over his 40-year career, Elton John has won an impressive 5 Grammy Awards, sold over 250 million albums worldwide and continued to perform more than 100 shows a year, placing him squarely among the top 10 best-selling artists in music history. In addition to being the most successful rock pianist in the world, he oversees an artist-management company. His AIDS foundation has raised more than US$220 million since 1992 and benefits programs in 55 countries. The sales of the song ‘Candle In The Wind’ in 1997 raised over US$40 million for the charity, following the death of his friend Diana, Princess of Wales.
Elton has traveled the world performing his iconic and evergreen songs for his fans across the globe such as London, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Croatia, Abu Dhabi, Turkey and Indonesia, just to name a few. The next few months in Elton’s itinerary are packed and include sixteen nights performing his brand new show ‘Million Dollar Piano’ at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

TUNE HOTELS STAR REWARDED WITH TRIP TO EDINBURGH
‘You’re a Star!’ staff competition aimed at guest service excellence
KUALA LUMPUR, 10 February 2014 – International value hotel group Tune Hotels is sending the winner of its ‘You’re a Star!’ programme on a fully-paid trip to Scotland as a reward for her leadership qualities especially in achieving guest service excellence.
Manager of Tune Hotel LCCT-KLIA Airport Lalitha Namasemayam emerged champion of the staff competition and was crowned the ‘Tune Hotels Star 2013’. She received a return flight ticket to Edinburgh, Scotland and complimentary stay at Tune Hotel Haymarket in Edinburgh.
Tune Hotels Country Manager for Malaysia Kishore Suppiah said: “At Tune Hotels, service improvement is a continuous effort. Over five million guests have stayed at our network of hotels numbering over thirty across eight countries currently and they have regularly given us the thumbs up for a great stay experience with us resulting in the many accolades that we received.”
“Lalitha has shown great leadership and is a role model for her team mates and other colleagues. Human capital is our most valuable asset and by sharing positive stories and experiences among employees from various different locations, we seek to achieve a more positive and harmonious culture and work environment that makes Tune Hotels a great place to work in,” added Kishore.
With the objective of achieving guest service excellence, the internal competition was open to all Tune Hotels employees in Malaysia and Bali, Indonesia.
The ‘You’re a Star!’ programme was first rolled out in 2012. The 2013 edition was launched early last year and culminated with the final round held in Kuala Lumpur recently. The competition was implemented in various stages focusing on company values, personal grooming, creativity, on-the-job knowledge, communication and selling skills as well as overall competency.
The ultimate test came in the final round where the four finalist contestants were required to come up with a number of presentations involving public speaking, creative performance and a question-and-answer session. It concluded with a tactical question that tested their critical thinking skills and creativity.
Hang Al Nur Amin Hang Mohd Abid, Guest Services Supervisor at Tune Hotel Downtown Penang came in second and won a fully sponsored trip to Melbourne, Australia with complimentary stay at Tune Hotel Melbourne. The other two finalists are Khairil Hafez Yahya and Sathiya Mahathavan.
Commenting on her win, Lalitha hoped it would serve to inspire not only her team members but also other colleagues within the group.
The Manager of Tune Hotel LCCT-KLIA Airport said: “It has been a great privilege to be chosen as the Tune Hotels Star for 2013. Working with Tune Hotels has paved the way for me to meet people from all over the world. Every guest has a different story to tell and different thoughts to share and it’s been an enriching experience for me to meet them on a daily basis.”
Planning to embark on a “Go Green” project for the hotel, Lalitha said: “There are opportunities for recycling in every one of our property and I will work closely with my fellow hotel managers to ensure that we take active measures to reduce our carbon footprint.”
Tune Hotels has successfully pioneered the “pay-as-you-use” concept that has become hugely popular among smart travellers from across the world. Under the concept, guests only pay for room rates with the option of adding on other amenities like air-conditioning, towels and toiletries, in-room Wi-Fi and satellite TV service to keep costs down, reduce waste and save energy.

Offices of the Anti Advertising Agency and www.delocator.net
Two exhibitions by the artists' collaboratives the Anti-Advertising Agency and Finishing School will take over the San Francisco Art Institute's Walter and McBean Galleries for the month of April and into May.
The Anti-Advertising Agency (AAA) will transform the McBean Project Space into its temporary headquarters replete with a conference table, desks, chairs, dry erase boards, a water cooler, fluorescent lamps, and cubicle walls in order to plan the Agency's counter-advertising projects for 2005–2006. Artist and educator Steve Lambert founded the Anti Advertising Agency. Co-opting the tools and structures used by the advertising and public relations industries, the Agency was established as a response to the pervasiveness of commercial content in public urban space. As the CEO of the Anti Advertising Agency, Lambert will work from start to finish with the artists selected for Agency support to help realize their projects.
To date, five artists’ projects have been selected for Agency support. All of these projects will have workstations in the gallery/office where they can begin work and present their ideas to the public.
Participating artists include Sara Dierck and Michael Dodge, who will work on engaging the public through sound and radio; Amanda Eicher, who will focus on connecting consumer products with labor; Susan R. Greene, who brings expertise in community-based art making and clinical psychology; Packard Jennings, who will hone the Agency's message through public surveys and target audiences; and Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, who will use street teams to promote business activity that doesn't rely on advertising. As each of these artists projects evolve, the residual Post It ® notes, reference material, paper scraps, diagrams, and scrawled notebooks will be left in the gallery as part of the exhibition.
Simultaneously, downstairs in the Walter Gallery, the Southern California based artist group Finishing School will create a café/workshop environment to serve as the physical location for the launch of their newest project, the web-based, www.delocator.net. Finishing School is the collective identity of artists Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, and xtine. For this project the artists have collaborated with computer programmer Vasna Sdoeung to produce their interactive website www.delocator.net. This online interactive database allows patrons to enter and pull comparative information regarding independently owned café and trans-national coffee emporiums.
During the exhibition, Finishing School will transform the gallery into a traditional coffee house environment with the addition of computers and wireless Internet access. Gallery visitors will learn about the delocator project and are invited to add information to a growing online database of independently owned café’s and coffee houses.
Finishing School is the second Nimoy Artist Residency to be funded by Susan Bay and Leonard Nimoy, who established the Nimoy Foundation in 2003. The mission of the Nimoy Foundation is to recognize, encourage, and support the work of contemporary visual and performing artists.
Exhibitions Director Merry Scully finds the entrepreneurial approach taken by both the AAA and the Finishing School reflective of national and international art making trends. "This kind of artistic practice engages the social and political sphere rather than simply representing or commenting upon it," explains Scully. “It invites a rethinking and exchange from the audience that more didactic work does not."
The Walter and McBean Galleries are open Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–6pm. Both exhibitions invite active participation by the audience. The "CEO" of the AAA will be on-site and available to the public Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The AAA will offer free anti-advertising "consultations" to the public on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, and "focus groups" on Fridays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The delocator café/workshop will be open during gallery hours. More information about these projects can be found at www.antiadvertisingagency.com
and www.delocator.net.

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 November 2013 – International value hotel group Tune Hotels today launched its ‘Taste the World’ holiday campaign where hotel rooms in Malaysia are going on offer from as low as RM20 per night.
Equally attractive rates apply for selected hotels in other countries with hotel rooms in Indonesia starting from only IDR 68.000; Thailand THB 599; the Philippines PHP 788; the UK GBP 49; Australia A$ 55; India INR 399; and Japan JPY 3,030.
The promotional rates will be available exclusively for online bookings made at www.tunehotels.com from Sunday 24 November up to 1 December 2013. Promotional hotel stays are for the period of July to September 2014. Promotional rates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability to rooms.
There are currently 38 Tune Hotels available for booking in eight counties including eleven in Malaysia, eight in the Philippines, seven in Indonesia, five in the UK, four in Thailand and one each in Australia, India and Japan.
Tune Hotels Director of Hotel Operations Anwar Ali Jumabhoy said: “In Malaysia, The Taste the World holiday campaign is very timely as we gear up to usher in Visit Malaysia Year 2014. Over five million guests have experienced the Tune Hotels hospitality across our platform, and we look forward to welcoming more tourists and visitors and providing them international-standard accommodation at highly affordable rates, while they explore Malaysia and treat themselves to the rich cultural and culinary diversity.”
“This holiday campaign is themed ‘Taste the World’ to signify our global presence and how the best travel experiences often include a country's food offering. To taste one’s food is to experience their culture. By offering attractive low room rates we invite guests to indulge in the best local cuisines from Asia, Australia and the UK. Head on to our website and you’ll be on your way to your next foodie adventure!” added Anwar.
Anwar unveiled the ‘Taste the World’ holiday campaign during an event at Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur, the hotel group’s very first property that opened in 2007. The hotel underwent a facelift last year and is now sporting Tune Hotels’ cool and cosy new room design and layout. Since June 2013, the hotel has added just over 100 more rooms to its inventory with the opening of its adjoining extension located on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in the city centre. Tune Hotel Downtown KL now offers 275 rooms comprising standard double, twin and single rooms.
“We want to show that with Tune Hotels, guests enjoy high quality accommodation despite paying attractive room rates. We offer international-standard accommodation with high quality beds, power showers, clean environments, 24-hour security and to top it all, central and strategic location with easy access to the many attractions around the city centre and this is the model that we adopt throughout our global network,” said Anwar.
Also present were Tune Hotels Country Manager for Malaysia, Kishore Suppiah and Manager of Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur Shireen Jasin.
Tune Hotels has successfully pioneered the “pay-as-you-use” concept that has become hugely popular amongst smart travellers from across the world. Under the concept, guests only pay for room rates with the option of adding on other amenities like air-conditioning, towels and toiletries, in-room Wi-Fi and satellite TV service to keep costs down, reduce waste and save energy.
Tune Hotels provides international-class high-quality accommodation at central locations and focuses on key essentials but minus the generally underused facilities found in other hotels such as swimming pools, business centres and gymnasiums. By doing away with these costly and high-maintenance facilities, Tune Hotels is able to pass on savings to its guests in the form of super low room rates.
Tune Hotels is part of Tune Group, a lifestyle business conglomerate co-founded by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Dato’ Kamarudin Meranun, who are the Group CEO and Executive Chairman respectively of Asia’s largest low cost carrier AirAsia.

2015 Weekly Alphabet, Week 51, X for X
They're calling this wooden Christmas tree base a cross over here, seemed a very apt X for this week. Very proud of myself to having transported it , getting it both into and out of the car and into the house. The tree turned out to be a little larger than I thought, needed a whole extra string of lights :-) PSE 13 Sketch Comic effect and extra edited with free web-based Pixlr Express, which has a couple of great seasonal effects and overlays right now.
Co-curated by Sarah Cook and Kathy Rae Huffman, Broadcast Yourself is an international group exhibition that contextualises the current trend of sharing videos online (on websites such as YouTube) through the presentation of works of video art and web-based art from the 1970s to the 1990s. It includes the work of a diverse group of artists who have challenged television culture and questioned what it means to undertake the personal act of putting oneself ‘on-air’.
Works presented ranged from Bill Viola’s Reverse Television — Portraits of Viewers (1984), where he filmed American television viewers and broadcast the footage back out at them as they watched television, to Shaina Anand’s Khirkee Yaan Project (2006) from New Delhi, an exploration of what happens when you connect people via an open circuit TV system.
The exhibition included artists: Active Ingredient (Rachel Jacobs / Matt Watkins), Shaina Anand, Ian Breakwell, Chris Burden, Stan Douglas, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, Alistair Gentry, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Doug Hall, Chip Lord and Jody Proctor, Joanie 4 Jackie (Miranda July et al.), Pat Naldi and Wendy Kirkup, TV Swansong (curated by Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie), Bill Viola, Van Gogh TV, 56Ktv Bastard Channel (curated by Reinhard Storz / xcult.org).
The exhibition toured to Cornerhouse, Manchester from 13 June to 10 August 2008.

ELTON JOHN MESMERISES 5,000 FANS
3-hour non-stop performance by Piano Man
GENTING HIGHLANDS, 22 November 2011 – About 5,000 fans packed the Arena of Stars here Tuesday night for the first ever performance in Malaysia by superstar Sir Elton John.
The crowd cheered and sang along with the Piano Man as he enthralled them his classic hits as well as recent numbers from his latest album ‘The Union’, released in 2010.
‘Saturday Night’s Alright’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Candle in the Wind’, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ were just a handful of his iconic and evergreen songs performed during the show, leaving his fans with another unforgettable night of music.
The concert started off with an opening by the 2CELLOS, made up of young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser who later joined the ensemble throughout the concert that ended at 11 pm.
Elton John & Band Greatest Hits Tour in Malaysia was the first project by Tune Live, the entertainment arm of Tune Group. Tune Live is the promoter for the concert.
For Elton, putting together a “Greatest Hits Tour” was a great passion as he was joined on the road once again by his long-time band; Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson, Bob Birch, Kim Bullard and John Mahon, all dedicated and superbly talented musicians who have been playing alongside the piano man for many years.
Another highlight of the concert was the four backing singers, which included the incredible Rose Stone (Sly And The Family Stone) together with Lisa Stone, Tata Vega and Jean Witherspoon.
This was also the first time that 2CELLOS will join the ensemble. The young Croatian duo, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser recently took YouTube by storm, quickly landing a recording deal with Sony Music.
Elton’s most recent studio album ‘The Union’, released by Universal Music in October 2010 was recorded with Elton’s long-time musical idol and world-renowned pianist and songwriter, Leon Russell. ‘The Union’ sees the duo and a glittering array of guests get back to the nitty-gritty of what they love about rock n’ roll.
Over his 40-year career, Elton John has won an impressive 5 Grammy Awards, sold over 250 million albums worldwide and continued to perform more than 100 shows a year, placing him squarely among the top 10 best-selling artists in music history. In addition to being the most successful rock pianist in the world, he oversees an artist-management company. His AIDS foundation has raised more than US$220 million since 1992 and benefits programs in 55 countries. The sales of the song ‘Candle In The Wind’ in 1997 raised over US$40 million for the charity, following the death of his friend Diana, Princess of Wales.
Elton has traveled the world performing his iconic and evergreen songs for his fans across the globe such as London, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Croatia, Abu Dhabi, Turkey and Indonesia, just to name a few. The next few months in Elton’s itinerary are packed and include sixteen nights performing his brand new show ‘Million Dollar Piano’ at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

While not a wide aspect ratio this is actually a 3 shot panorama totaling just under 5500 pixels, so the final cropped image is just under 21Megapixels.
For those thinking, cool beans dude, but whats the point if it's not a sweeping 300 degree panorama?
Well for a web based image there really is minimal gain over a single wide angle image. It's kinda like shooting with a $20,000 40MP digital camera just to post to the web. however, if you intend to print it, then you get a huge improvement boost with this method and you can do it without dropping $40,000!
This has the appromixate FOV of a ~24mm lens if taken from the same spot, but with the detail of a short telephoto. Had I taken the shot with a 24mm lens i'd have a 10MP image with limited detail, but by stitching 3 portrait oriented 10MP images together I was able to double my resolution, use a less flawed lens, and create a more detailed image.
Image Data:
Pentax K10D, FA 43mm Limited at f/11, Nodal Ninja panoramic head, Bogen 3221W tripod, with cable release and mirror lockup. Exposure was 25 seconds long.
Offices of the Anti Advertising Agency and www.delocator.net
Two exhibitions by the artists' collaboratives the Anti-Advertising Agency and Finishing School will take over the San Francisco Art Institute's Walter and McBean Galleries for the month of April and into May.
The Anti-Advertising Agency (AAA) will transform the McBean Project Space into its temporary headquarters replete with a conference table, desks, chairs, dry erase boards, a water cooler, fluorescent lamps, and cubicle walls in order to plan the Agency's counter-advertising projects for 2005–2006. Artist and educator Steve Lambert founded the Anti Advertising Agency. Co-opting the tools and structures used by the advertising and public relations industries, the Agency was established as a response to the pervasiveness of commercial content in public urban space. As the CEO of the Anti Advertising Agency, Lambert will work from start to finish with the artists selected for Agency support to help realize their projects.
To date, five artists’ projects have been selected for Agency support. All of these projects will have workstations in the gallery/office where they can begin work and present their ideas to the public.
Participating artists include Sara Dierck and Michael Dodge, who will work on engaging the public through sound and radio; Amanda Eicher, who will focus on connecting consumer products with labor; Susan R. Greene, who brings expertise in community-based art making and clinical psychology; Packard Jennings, who will hone the Agency's message through public surveys and target audiences; and Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, who will use street teams to promote business activity that doesn't rely on advertising. As each of these artists projects evolve, the residual Post It ® notes, reference material, paper scraps, diagrams, and scrawled notebooks will be left in the gallery as part of the exhibition.
Simultaneously, downstairs in the Walter Gallery, the Southern California based artist group Finishing School will create a café/workshop environment to serve as the physical location for the launch of their newest project, the web-based, www.delocator.net. Finishing School is the collective identity of artists Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, and xtine. For this project the artists have collaborated with computer programmer Vasna Sdoeung to produce their interactive website www.delocator.net. This online interactive database allows patrons to enter and pull comparative information regarding independently owned café and trans-national coffee emporiums.
During the exhibition, Finishing School will transform the gallery into a traditional coffee house environment with the addition of computers and wireless Internet access. Gallery visitors will learn about the delocator project and are invited to add information to a growing online database of independently owned café’s and coffee houses.
Finishing School is the second Nimoy Artist Residency to be funded by Susan Bay and Leonard Nimoy, who established the Nimoy Foundation in 2003. The mission of the Nimoy Foundation is to recognize, encourage, and support the work of contemporary visual and performing artists.
Exhibitions Director Merry Scully finds the entrepreneurial approach taken by both the AAA and the Finishing School reflective of national and international art making trends. "This kind of artistic practice engages the social and political sphere rather than simply representing or commenting upon it," explains Scully. “It invites a rethinking and exchange from the audience that more didactic work does not."
The Walter and McBean Galleries are open Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–6pm. Both exhibitions invite active participation by the audience. The "CEO" of the AAA will be on-site and available to the public Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The AAA will offer free anti-advertising "consultations" to the public on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, and "focus groups" on Fridays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The delocator café/workshop will be open during gallery hours. More information about these projects can be found at www.antiadvertisingagency.com
and www.delocator.net.

There are currently 38 Tune Hotels available for booking in eight counties including eleven in Malaysia, eight in the Philippines, seven in Indonesia, five in the UK, four in Thailand and one each in Australia, India and Japan.
Tune Hotels Director of Hotel Operations Anwar Ali Jumabhoy said: “In Malaysia, The Taste the World holiday campaign is very timely as we gear up to usher in Visit Malaysia Year 2014. Over five million guests have experienced the Tune Hotels hospitality across our platform, and we look forward to welcoming more tourists and visitors and providing them international-standard accommodation at highly affordable rates, while they explore Malaysia and treat themselves to the rich cultural and culinary diversity.”
“This holiday campaign is themed ‘Taste the World’ to signify our global presence and how the best travel experiences often include a country's food offering.

Anwar unveiled the ‘Taste the World’ holiday campaign during an event at Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur, the hotel group’s very first property that opened in 2007. The hotel underwent a facelift last year and is now sporting Tune Hotels’ cool and cosy new room design and layout. Since June 2013, the hotel has added just over 100 more rooms to its inventory with the opening of its adjoining extension located on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in the city centre. Tune Hotel Downtown KL now offers 275 rooms comprising standard double, twin and single rooms.
“We want to show that with Tune Hotels, guests enjoy high quality accommodation despite paying attractive room rates.

Also present were Tune Hotels Country Manager for Malaysia, Kishore Suppiah and Manager of Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur Shireen Jasin.
Tune Hotels has successfully pioneered the “pay-as-you-use” concept that has become hugely popular amongst smart travellers from across the world. Under the concept, guests only pay for room rates with the option of adding on other amenities like air-conditioning, towels and toiletries, in-room Wi-Fi and satellite TV service to keep costs down, reduce waste and save energy.
Tune Hotels provides international-class high-quality accommodation at central locations and focuses on key essentials but minus the generally underused facilities found in other hotels such as swimming pools, business centres and gymnasiums. By doing away with these costly and high-maintenance facilities, Tune Hotels is able to pass on savings to its guests in the form of super low room rates.
Tune Hotels is part of Tune Group, a lifestyle business conglomerate co-founded by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Dato’ Kamarudin Meranun, who are the Group CEO and Executive Chairman respectively of Asia’s largest low cost carrier AirAsia.

Two exhibitions by the artists' collaboratives the Anti-Advertising Agency and Finishing School will take over the San Francisco Art Institute's Walter and McBean Galleries for the month of April and into May.
The Anti-Advertising Agency (AAA) will transform the McBean Project Space into its temporary headquarters replete with a conference table, desks, chairs, dry erase boards, a water cooler, fluorescent lamps, and cubicle walls in order to plan the Agency's counter-advertising projects for 2005–2006. Artist and educator Steve Lambert founded the Anti Advertising Agency. Co-opting the tools and structures used by the advertising and public relations industries, the Agency was established as a response to the pervasiveness of commercial content in public urban space. As the CEO of the Anti Advertising Agency, Lambert will work from start to finish with the artists selected for Agency support to help realize their projects.
To date, five artists’ projects have been selected for Agency support. All of these projects will have workstations in the gallery/office where they can begin work and present their ideas to the public.
Participating artists include Sara Dierck and Michael Dodge, who will work on engaging the public through sound and radio; Amanda Eicher, who will focus on connecting consumer products with labor; Susan R. Greene, who brings expertise in community-based art making and clinical psychology; Packard Jennings, who will hone the Agency's message through public surveys and target audiences; and Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, who will use street teams to promote business activity that doesn't rely on advertising. As each of these artists projects evolve, the residual Post It ® notes, reference material, paper scraps, diagrams, and scrawled notebooks will be left in the gallery as part of the exhibition.
Simultaneously, downstairs in the Walter Gallery, the Southern California based artist group Finishing School will create a café/workshop environment to serve as the physical location for the launch of their newest project, the web-based, www.delocator.net. Finishing School is the collective identity of artists Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, and xtine. For this project the artists have collaborated with computer programmer Vasna Sdoeung to produce their interactive website www.delocator.net. This online interactive database allows patrons to enter and pull comparative information regarding independently owned café and trans-national coffee emporiums.
During the exhibition, Finishing School will transform the gallery into a traditional coffee house environment with the addition of computers and wireless Internet access. Gallery visitors will learn about the delocator project and are invited to add information to a growing online database of independently owned café’s and coffee houses.
Finishing School is the second Nimoy Artist Residency to be funded by Susan Bay and Leonard Nimoy, who established the Nimoy Foundation in 2003. The mission of the Nimoy Foundation is to recognize, encourage, and support the work of contemporary visual and performing artists.
Exhibitions Director Merry Scully finds the entrepreneurial approach taken by both the AAA and the Finishing School reflective of national and international art making trends. "This kind of artistic practice engages the social and political sphere rather than simply representing or commenting upon it," explains Scully. “It invites a rethinking and exchange from the audience that more didactic work does not."
The Walter and McBean Galleries are open Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–6pm. Both exhibitions invite active participation by the audience. The "CEO" of the AAA will be on-site and available to the public Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The AAA will offer free anti-advertising "consultations" to the public on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, and "focus groups" on Fridays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The delocator café/workshop will be open during gallery hours. More information about these projects can be found at www.antiadvertisingagency.com

Following a dynamic and insightful presentation on how we see and value landscapes, guest speaker Charles Birnbaum had lunch with JHC guests. With the help of fellow landscape professionals and enthusiasts like Peter Rolland, Jane Cooke and Jay Cantor, Charles framed a lively discussion about stewardship as it related to specific properties like Bartow Pell with its plan by Delano & Aldrich and as it pertained to protecting the legacies of visionary landscape architects like Dan Kiley. It was a glorious way to spend the afternoon.

NEWS RELEASE
ELTON JOHN MESMERISES 5,000 FANS
3-hour non-stop performance by Piano Man
GENTING HIGHLANDS, 22 November 2011 – About 5,000 fans packed the Arena of Stars here Tuesday night for the first ever performance in Malaysia by superstar Sir Elton John.
The crowd cheered and sang along with the Piano Man as he enthralled them his classic hits as well as recent numbers from his latest album ‘The Union’, released in 2010.
‘Saturday Night’s Alright’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Candle in the Wind’, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ were just a handful of his iconic and evergreen songs performed during the show, leaving his fans with another unforgettable night of music.
The concert started off with an opening by the 2CELLOS, made up of young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser who later joined the ensemble throughout the concert that ended at 11 pm.
Elton John & Band Greatest Hits Tour in Malaysia was the first project by Tune Live, the entertainment arm of Tune Group. Tune Live is the promoter for the concert.
For Elton, putting together a “Greatest Hits Tour” was a great passion as he was joined on the road once again by his long-time band; Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson, Bob Birch, Kim Bullard and John Mahon, all dedicated and superbly talented musicians who have been playing alongside the piano man for many years.
Another highlight of the concert was the four backing singers, which included the incredible Rose Stone (Sly And The Family Stone) together with Lisa Stone, Tata Vega and Jean Witherspoon.
This was also the first time that 2CELLOS will join the ensemble. The young Croatian duo, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser recently took YouTube by storm, quickly landing a recording deal with Sony Music.
Elton’s most recent studio album ‘The Union’, released by Universal Music in October 2010 was recorded with Elton’s long-time musical idol and world-renowned pianist and songwriter, Leon Russell. ‘The Union’ sees the duo and a glittering array of guests get back to the nitty-gritty of what they love about rock n’ roll.
Over his 40-year career, Elton John has won an impressive 5 Grammy Awards, sold over 250 million albums worldwide and continued to perform more than 100 shows a year, placing him squarely among the top 10 best-selling artists in music history. In addition to being the most successful rock pianist in the world, he oversees an artist-management company. His AIDS foundation has raised more than US$220 million since 1992 and benefits programs in 55 countries. The sales of the song ‘Candle In The Wind’ in 1997 raised over US$40 million for the charity, following the death of his friend Diana, Princess of Wales.
Elton has traveled the world performing his iconic and evergreen songs for his fans across the globe such as London, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Croatia, Abu Dhabi, Turkey and Indonesia, just to name a few. The next few months in Elton’s itinerary are packed and include sixteen nights performing his brand new show ‘Million Dollar Piano’ at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

HAT YAI (THAILAND), 17 December 2011 – Global value hotel brand Tune Hotels launched its maiden property in Thailand with the official opening of Tune Hotel Hat Yai by the Governor of Songkhla, Grisada Boonrach here Friday, 16 December 2012.
Tune Hotel Hat Yai, located at Niphat Uthit 2 Road has 148 rooms comprising 93 double rooms, 54 twin-sharing rooms and a wheelchair-friendly room. The hotel is situated right in the heart of Hat Yai and within the city’s main shopping and entertainment areas, while the railway station is just five minutes’ walk away.
Governor Grisada was joined at the opening ceremony by Mayor of Hat Yai Municipality Dr Prai Pattano, President of Hotels Association in Hat Yai Somchart Pimthanapoonporn, Hat Yai District Chief Seri Panitkul and CEO of Red Planet Hotels Tim Hansing. Red Planet is Tune Hotels’ strategic partner for the development of its hotels in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Governor Grisada said: “This is such a momentous occasion not only for Songkhla Province but also Thailand as a whole as we welcome the arrival of the first Tune Hotel right here in Hat Yai. The establishment of Tune Hotel Hat Yai will further promote the tourism sector in the Songkhla province as well as the rest of southern Thailand. Tune Hotel will give tourists and visitors to Hat Yai a world class accommodation option at affordable rates. It augurs well with the government’s efforts to bring back tourists to our country. On the national level, it serves to promote stronger ties between old friends Thailand and Malaysia.”
Tim Hansing said: “We are pleased to be working with Tune Hotels in Thailand and other Asean countries. The opening of Tune Hotel Hat Yai is only the beginning. Through our collaboration with Tune Hotels, we have about 15 properties scheduled for opening next year, spread over Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. We are particularly pleased to have managed to complete the property in spite of the severe flooding problems in Thailand.”
Tune Hotels Group CEO Mark Lankester said: “When we announced the opening of Tune Hotel Hat Yai last month, Thailand was facing such a difficult situation with massive flooding on most parts of the country. With the opening of Tune Hotel Hat Yai, we are pleased to be part of the nation’s recovery process and this is proof of our determination to be an active player and contributor to the Thai economy, of which tourism has great importance.”
Mark added: “We are extremely encouraged with Tune Hotels’ debut in Thailand. The response from guests has been overwhelming with our promo rooms during the pre-opening sale snapped up almost immediately. We would like to thank all our guests who have been-supportive of our efforts in helping restore confidence and bring back tourists to the ‘Land of Smiles’.”
Apart from Hat Yai, Tune Hotels rollout plan in Thailand for 2012 would include Pattaya, followed by Asoke in Bangkok and Patong in Phuket later in the year.
With the latest opening of Hat Yai, Tune Hotels now operates 14 hotels globally - ten in Malaysia; two in Bali, Indonesia; one in London, England; and one in Thailand.

Noting that about 30 new Tune Hotels will be opening across the globe in the next 12 months, Mark said: “We encourage guests to stay connected with Tune Hotels via Facebook and Twitter to keep tab of the latest openings and promotions.

Two exhibitions by the artists' collaboratives the Anti-Advertising Agency and Finishing School will take over the San Francisco Art Institute's Walter and McBean Galleries for the month of April and into May.
The Anti-Advertising Agency (AAA) will transform the McBean Project Space into its temporary headquarters replete with a conference table, desks, chairs, dry erase boards, a water cooler, fluorescent lamps, and cubicle walls in order to plan the Agency's counter-advertising projects for 2005–2006. Artist and educator Steve Lambert founded the Anti Advertising Agency. Co-opting the tools and structures used by the advertising and public relations industries, the Agency was established as a response to the pervasiveness of commercial content in public urban space. As the CEO of the Anti Advertising Agency, Lambert will work from start to finish with the artists selected for Agency support to help realize their projects.
To date, five artists’ projects have been selected for Agency support. All of these projects will have workstations in the gallery/office where they can begin work and present their ideas to the public.
Participating artists include Sara Dierck and Michael Dodge, who will work on engaging the public through sound and radio; Amanda Eicher, who will focus on connecting consumer products with labor; Susan R. Greene, who brings expertise in community-based art making and clinical psychology; Packard Jennings, who will hone the Agency's message through public surveys and target audiences; and Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, who will use street teams to promote business activity that doesn't rely on advertising. As each of these artists projects evolve, the residual Post It ® notes, reference material, paper scraps, diagrams, and scrawled notebooks will be left in the gallery as part of the exhibition.
Simultaneously, downstairs in the Walter Gallery, the Southern California based artist group Finishing School will create a café/workshop environment to serve as the physical location for the launch of their newest project, the web-based, www.delocator.net. Finishing School is the collective identity of artists Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, and xtine. For this project the artists have collaborated with computer programmer Vasna Sdoeung to produce their interactive website www.delocator.net.

Co-curated by Sarah Cook and Kathy Rae Huffman, Broadcast Yourself is an international group exhibition that contextualises the current trend of sharing videos online (on websites such as YouTube) through the presentation of works of video art and web-based art from the 1970s to the 1990s. It includes the work of a diverse group of artists who have challenged television culture and questioned what it means to undertake the personal act of putting oneself ‘on-air’.
Works presented ranged from Bill Viola’s Reverse Television — Portraits of Viewers (1984), where he filmed American television viewers and broadcast the footage back out at them as they watched television, to Shaina Anand’s Khirkee Yaan Project (2006) from New Delhi, an exploration of what happens when you connect people via an open circuit TV system.
The exhibition included artists: Active Ingredient (Rachel Jacobs / Matt Watkins), Shaina Anand, Ian Breakwell, Chris Burden, Stan Douglas, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, Alistair Gentry, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Doug Hall, Chip Lord and Jody Proctor, Joanie 4 Jackie (Miranda July et al.), Pat Naldi and Wendy Kirkup, TV Swansong (curated by Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie), Bill Viola, Van Gogh TV, 56Ktv Bastard Channel (curated by Reinhard Storz / xcult.org).
The exhibition toured to Cornerhouse, Manchester from 13 June to 10 August 2008.

The virtual conversation took place at the White House, and Twitter was used to expand the conversation worldwide, from Washington, D.C., on Monday, March 5, 2012. Unlike most events where mobile communication devices are asked to be turned off, here it was asked that they remain on allowing people to have social media conversations. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Offices of the Anti Advertising Agency and www.delocator.net
Two exhibitions by the artists' collaboratives the Anti-Advertising Agency and Finishing School will take over the San Francisco Art Institute's Walter and McBean Galleries for the month of April and into May.
The Anti-Advertising Agency (AAA) will transform the McBean Project Space into its temporary headquarters replete with a conference table, desks, chairs, dry erase boards, a water cooler, fluorescent lamps, and cubicle walls in order to plan the Agency's counter-advertising projects for 2005–2006. Artist and educator Steve Lambert founded the Anti Advertising Agency. Co-opting the tools and structures used by the advertising and public relations industries, the Agency was established as a response to the pervasiveness of commercial content in public urban space. As the CEO of the Anti Advertising Agency, Lambert will work from start to finish with the artists selected for Agency support to help realize their projects.
To date, five artists’ projects have been selected for Agency support. All of these projects will have workstations in the gallery/office where they can begin work and present their ideas to the public.
Participating artists include Sara Dierck and Michael Dodge, who will work on engaging the public through sound and radio; Amanda Eicher, who will focus on connecting consumer products with labor; Susan R. Greene, who brings expertise in community-based art making and clinical psychology; Packard Jennings, who will hone the Agency's message through public surveys and target audiences; and Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, who will use street teams to promote business activity that doesn't rely on advertising. As each of these artists projects evolve, the residual Post It ® notes, reference material, paper scraps, diagrams, and scrawled notebooks will be left in the gallery as part of the exhibition.
Simultaneously, downstairs in the Walter Gallery, the Southern California based artist group Finishing School will create a café/workshop environment to serve as the physical location for the launch of their newest project, the web-based, www.delocator.net. Finishing School is the collective identity of artists Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, and xtine. For this project the artists have collaborated with computer programmer Vasna Sdoeung to produce their interactive website www.delocator.net. This online interactive database allows patrons to enter and pull comparative information regarding independently owned café and trans-national coffee emporiums.
During the exhibition, Finishing School will transform the gallery into a traditional coffee house environment with the addition of computers and wireless Internet access. Gallery visitors will learn about the delocator project and are invited to add information to a growing online database of independently owned café’s and coffee houses.
Finishing School is the second Nimoy Artist Residency to be funded by Susan Bay and Leonard Nimoy, who established the Nimoy Foundation in 2003. The mission of the Nimoy Foundation is to recognize, encourage, and support the work of contemporary visual and performing artists.
Exhibitions Director Merry Scully finds the entrepreneurial approach taken by both the AAA and the Finishing School reflective of national and international art making trends. "This kind of artistic practice engages the social and political sphere rather than simply representing or commenting upon it," explains Scully. “It invites a rethinking and exchange from the audience that more didactic work does not."
The Walter and McBean Galleries are open Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–6pm. Both exhibitions invite active participation by the audience. The "CEO" of the AAA will be on-site and available to the public Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The AAA will offer free anti-advertising "consultations" to the public on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, and "focus groups" on Fridays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The delocator café/workshop will be open during gallery hours. More information about these projects can be found at www.antiadvertisingagency.com
and www.delocator.net.

This is a long circuit and we knew, because of a ferry booking, that we would probably not be able to complete it and would therefore have to pick a spot to return from early. We hoped to see the seal colony at least. Unfortunately, at the very beginning - the west side of Sand Voe - the web-based maps suggested a coastal route that took us into walking along a steep and slippery incline, with drops, if we did slip, straight down into the voe. We assumed that 'any second' we'd come across worn grass that suggested we had hit the path and we persevered, slow and careful, on the slope that none of us were entirely comfortable walking along. The path did not materialise and we eventually climbed the steep slope to a safe flat area. This section cost us more time than we had wanted and we therefore decided, disappointed, to turn back before we reached the seal colony. The walk back - first away from the coast up the main branch of the Pettadale Burn and then across the spongy gorse/grasses to North Voe - was a good work-out for our legs but not hugely interesting. We will have to come back and do the full hike.

United States Airforce Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, 87-0045 descending into RAF Mildenhall on a grey miserable August day.
To quote a well known web based information page:
The C-5 is a large, high-wing cargo aircraft with a distinctive high T-tail fin (vertical) stabilizer, with four TF39 turbofan engines mounted on pylons beneath wings that are swept 25°. (The C-5M uses newer GE CF6 engines.) Similar in layout to its smaller predecessor, the C-141 Starlifter, the C-5 has 12 internal wing tanks and is equipped for aerial refueling. Above the plane-length cargo deck is an upper deck for flight operations and for seating 80 passengers in rear facing seats (unlike most commercial airplanes) and the embarked loadmaster crew in forward facing seats. Bay doors at both nose and tail open to enable "drive-through" loading and unloading of cargo.
The cargo hold of the C-5 is one foot (30 cm) longer than the entire length of the first powered flight by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk.[52] For its voracious consumption of fuel and its maintenance and reliability issues[53] the Galaxy's aircrews have nicknamed it "FRED", for Fucking[N 1] Ridiculous, Economic/Environmental Disaste
"The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a military transport aircraft originally designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsized and oversized loads, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to the smaller Lockheed C-141 Starlifter and the later Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy's development was complicated, including significant cost overruns, and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, cracks in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet was restricted in capability until corrective work was completed. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.
The USAF has operated the C-5 since 1969. In that time, the airlifter supported US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, as well as allied support, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and operations in the Gulf War. The Galaxy has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and supported the US space programme."
