[astrcncmical]

welcome to london, SYDNEY SAGE ! did anyone ever tell you that you look just like MADDIE HASSON? well, no matter, we hear that you are 21 and working as a/an STUDENT/RESEARCH ASSISTANT. we also hear that you currently DON’T HAVE your memories from VAMPIRE ACADEMY/BLOODLINES and have a tendency to be INTELLIGENT as well as CRITICAL. 

hello all ! i’m logan, and i’m here to talk to u about the sunshine of my life aka sydney katherine sage ivashkov !!

FULL NAME: sydney katherine sage  NICKNAME(S): sage, syd AGE: 21 ETHNICITY: white PRONOUNS: she / her SEXUAL ORIENTATION: heterosexual OCCUPATION:  college student / research assistant MEMORY STATUS:  has no memories

so for those of you who have never experienced the vampire academy books/movie/tv show and the bloodlines spinoff series, sydney comes from a world with more than one kind of vampire: there are moroi, who are much more human-like than their counterparts but still require blood to sustain themselves; dhampirs, human/moroi hybrids that don’t need blood but do possess superhuman speed and strength, and typically spend their lives protecting moroi from the final type of vampire: strigoi, creatures who look almost human but possess no ability to feel ( apart from feeling like killing all moroi and wiping them from existence ! )

and sydney is . . . none of those three things !! she’s part of a group called the alchemists, made up of humans that keep the big Vampire Secret under wraps from the rest of the human world - think men in black but for supernatural creatures and with a lot more religious overtones. 

she’s wildly meticulous and absorbs any knowledge she can get her hands on, so she’s quite good at her job ! or at least, she used to be. after being tasked with keeping a royal moroi and her friends hidden for a few months, she spends a lot of time with creatures she was once convinced were all monsters and discovers they’re actually really lovely people, even if these moroi in particular are a bit overzealous sometimes. 

as if she needed enough reasons to question her upbringing and beliefs, she discovers one of her teachers is actually a witch, and has been secretly teaching her magic - what’s more, she’s got a serious natural talent for it.

through a lot of romance and shenanigans and with a lot of help from her friends, sydney exposes the alchemists for their lies, rescues the royal moroi she’d been assigned to protect in the first place, and leaves the alchemists to start a life with her new moroi husband and their magical dhampir baby ( don’t ask. ) 

of course, here in london she has no recollection of any of this !! 

in this world, no one’s been able to force her into a job she didn’t want - she’s about to finish her bachelor’s degree, and if she gets her way, will spend the rest of her life in libraries and museums until her brain literally implodes with all the knowledge. she’s a good, loyal friend, too - if you can get her out of her academic zone long enough to hold a conversation.

This is Sam Kerr: A superstar with elite sport in her blood

In the white-walled hallway of the Kerr residence in Perth, Roxanne Kerr has a framed photo of the moment her daughter’s image was projected onto the sliding-shell roof tiles of the Sydney Opera House. In the darkness, the profile of an airborne Sam Kerr sails above the waters of Sydney Harbour, backlit by triangles of yellow and green to celebrate Australia’s successful World Cup 2023 bid.

“Your daughter’s on the Opera House — how is that?” says Roxanne, dreamily.

The family treasure it all the more because through it, they glimpse Sam as she was when, aged eight, she walked through some hills and decided that if the other kids were rolling down, the least she could manage was a backward tuck. “And she just taught herself,” says Roxanne. “It amazes me that she can still do it at her age. It shocked me. The first-ever time she did it for the Matildas, she didn’t land properly, but now that’s all people want to see.”

Yet her daughter is just like every other, in that she often neglects to keep her parents in the loop. Roxanne is used to seeing Sam stare back from banners in Australian shopping centres. Normal, too, are the texts from family and friends captioned: “Look who I’ve bumped into.” But the small matter of her springing from the side of the continent’s most iconic building slipped Sam’s mind, as did her international debut in Canberra in 2009.

“She loves us to travel and watch her games, but she doesn’t like a lot of fuss,” says Roxanne. “She didn’t even tell us that she was going to get a cap. She never tells me anything because she’s too embarrassed, too shy. I have a friend who cuts out every single newspaper article. She must have seen the Opera House on Facebook.”

Roxanne called Sam, who said, simply: “It’s nice, isn’t it, Mum?”

You wonder if Kerr Junior would describe winning the Champions League today (Sunday) in the same terms or if she’ll be able to muster any words at all given her manager at Chelsea, Emma Hayes, spent the hours after reaching the final in a haze of joyful tears.

Her itinerant career comprises a shower of titles from three continents, her spell at Chelsea — where she is understood to be earning £500,000 a year — providing more than half the silverware. Previously, she would play in the US over the summer and then, come October, return home to Australia to compete in the W-League. Success against Barcelona today would yield her sixth winners’ medal for Chelsea in 497 days, having made her debut on January 5, 2020. It would also make her the third Australian to play in a Champions League final, close to two years on from becoming the first to score a World Cup hat-trick. Fewer than five Australians have ever represented either senior Chelsea team.

From her car in Perth, where she has run on her lunch break, Roxanne tells The Athletic how she found out her daughter had signed for Chelsea. She and Sam’s grandmother, Coral, had flown to Chicago, where Kerr was racing towards the NWSL Golden Boot, and entered her apartment to see a blue Chelsea shirt. “And nobody was allowed to know because she didn’t want it out before Chelsea announced it,” she says. “I was very excited, because I love London. I thought I would have had four or five trips by now.”

Kerr’s arrival on UK shores garnered unprecedented media attention — photographers were docked at Heathrow to capture her wheeling her way through international arrivals and followed her all the way to the waiting black cab — and this season’s Women’s Super League Golden Boot has left her and Hayes vindicated after a tricky first few weeks; not that there was ever any real doubt she would come good, but only this season has Kerr been able to show us the full contents of her armoury.

“I’m so happy for her,” says Roxanne, “because she didn’t score in those first couple of games and she’s so used to scoring. Every time she spoke to me, it was about the cold — she really struggled with that. We watched every game and she was nearly there, but I could see that she was beating herself up a little bit.” Kerr’s mum doled out the usual pearls of wisdom: “You’re trying too hard and it will come.”

“She wasn’t putting away goals that she normally would do with the eyes closed. I think she was just so nervous. But once she got that first one, you knew that it would start happening because she gets a rhythm and a confidence, and she’s happy.”

On current form, a third Ballon d’Or nomination feels inevitable. Her closest rival is Chelsea team-mate Fran Kirby, though it is a stretch to say the pair are in competition, they have instead glided through the season with their irresistible glee and elan, combining for 52 of the club’s 120 goals.

The moment it clicked for Kerr was when, after months of being assisted by Kirby and a year on from her Chelsea debut, she was finally able to return the favour as her strike partner scored four against Reading in January. “From then on, I was like, ‘OK — this is going to become something now. I’m going to make it my goal to not only get goals off Fran, but to help her score’,” she said. “When we play fast football, no one can keep up with us.

“When you give the ball to Fran, you know you’re going to get it back. Whether I’m making a run to take a defender away or making a run to get the ball, it’s always easy to play with her because she’s so unselfish. I don’t even have to look. I just know that Fran’s going to be there. It looks telepathic.”

Perhaps they were fated to play together. Maybe there is an alternate universe in which Kirby and Kerr never met. It could easily have been this one; 14,528 km separate Kirby’s birthplace in Reading from Kerr’s in East Fremantle, Western Australia. Kerr might never have picked up a football — she began her sporting career, famously, as an Australian Rules player until the opportunities in that sport dried up for girls when she was 12 — were it not for a visit to her cousin’s house shortly after quitting her first love. She initially refused a trial for the state side. Roxanne recalls the coach telling the family Sam was the first person to ever say no to him.

Then there was the injury in 2015: a Lisfranc fracture, where the metatarsal bones are dislodged and the foot, to put it simply, falls apart. Or, in Roxanne’s words, the bones “spread like there’s no support. It really can be career-ending”.

It nearly was for Kerr, whose Olympics dream was left hanging by a thread. She had a plate fitted in her foot and the Australian Olympic Committee wanted her back for their Olympic qualifiers in Japan. Roxanne drove her to the local park and would “video her running so they can see how she was, and I could just tell that there was no way she was going to get there. She always says, ‘I don’t realise how much I love football until something like this happens’.” Kerr made it to the Olympics though, later saying: “I had many conversations crying on the phone to Mum, telling her I didn’t want to do it any more.”

And there is the fact that Sam might not have ended up in Australia at all had her ancestors not upped sticks decades before she was born.

Roxanne’s father hails from Cork in Ireland — born in 1931, he recently turned 90, making him the oldest of 101 (yes, 101) grandchildren — and her mother’s side are from England.

Kerr’s grandmother on her maternal side was the only child of six to be born in Australia as both families emigrated by ship — “It took forever and I suppose half of them were convicts,” says Roxanne — landing in Freemantle, near Perth, with a £10 stipend.

Many who made the journey to Australia in the early 20th century were British migrants seeking a more prosperous life in another part of the Empire. After the First World War, Australia sought to expand its population in the event of further conflict and its government offered assisted passage, jobs and land grants to potential arrivals.

“Fremantle is where the heart of football is,” Roxanne adds.

On Baal Street, Palmyra, tucked behind spindle-fingered trees, stands the russet silhouette of the Sunlight Bakery. It is a museum now, due to restoration by the local council circa 1988, and you wonder how many of those who walk between the shelves lined with pewter kettles and ersatz bread know it was run by Kerr’s great grandparents in its heyday.

“They used to deliver the bread by horse and cart,” says Roxanne. There is a photograph in the State Library of Western Australia of a horse, Barney, guiding a rickety cart with “Bakers” painted on one side in white. Roxanne’s father became a sheet metal worker, helping build the now-demolished railway lines along the south.

Roxanne’s great grandmother purchased huge plots of land and gave them to her 14 children as wedding presents. Back then, Roxanne’s parents were allowed to keep racehorses in their back garden. Her uncle, JJ Miller, won the 1966 Melbourne Cup — the country’s most famous horse race — on a horse called Galilee. Her cousin, David Neesham, represented Australia in water polo at three Olympics and was inducted into the Water Polo Australia Hall of Fame in 2010. Her other cousin, Danny, is 73 and still riding horses, making him, Roxanne claims, “the oldest jockey in Australia”. There are “probably about 10 Australia Rules footballers” in the family, Roxanne says, including her father, some uncles and her son Daniel — Sam’s brother, 10 years her senior. Her husband, too.

Maybe such a sprawling family — Roxanne is one of 10 children — was always, by the law of averages, bound to spawn some sporting talent. The introduction of Sam’s father, Roger, makes the gene pool more enviable still, and there can be few families, barring the Osmonds and the Jacksons, with as many Wikipedia pages between them.

Born in Calcutta, Roger’s English father was a featherweight boxer for Bengal and his Indian mother played basketball. India had just gained independence from British rule: Coral Kerr, his mother, worked for a British paint company and his father, an Anglo-Indian, on the railways. Amid the violence of India’s final partition, they moved to Australia. The original plan had been to move to Melbourne but doctors warned that Roger’s father would struggle with the cold. They arrived in Perth when Roger was 10.

His and Roxanne’s introduction was something of a meet-cute. “He lived around the corner from me and I was riding past on my bike and we had a little bit of an altercation because of his dog,” she recalls, “My friend said one day, ‘Would you like to come and meet these really nice people that just moved over here?’ and it was him. I’m like, ‘These are the people we had a fight with last week!’”

They flew Coral back to India for an Anglo-Indian reunion and learned that she’d had an ayah, or a nursemaid, as well as “someone to sweep the floor, someone to walk the children to school, someone to take the children at lunch. She got taken to work every day and came home and everything was done, so she never learned how to do anything”. Aged 28, Coral then arrived in Australia with no domestic skills. “She went to the butcher and she bought sausage meat to make mince curry,” says Roxanne.

Roxanne’s uncle Michael was a professional Aussie Rules footballer and Roger moved in opposite.

“He grabbed Roger and took him to football, and something clicked,” says Roxanne proudly. He played more than 100 times in seven years of professional football. The highs and lows of his playing, and later coaching, career informed Roxanne’s handling of Sam as her daughter’s career lurched from fledgling to its apogee.

“Once you get up there, people just want to knock you down, but we don’t take much notice of it,” says Roxanne. “I would say to someone, ‘You think it’s OK for us to criticise my son or my husband and my daughter, but if I said something about your child, you’d be upset. What’s the difference?’. ‘Oh, yours are professionals’.

“I don’t think it gets any easier or harder. You just learn more, that this is the way it is.”

One needs a human touch to raise two children embedded in elite sport, especially when Roxanne was en route to New Zealand and received a phone call from a coach to say that Sam was out of sorts. She was missing her school ball for her training camp. By then, she had already missed so much, so the federation sent her home the next Friday and Roxanne drove her to town on Saturday to pick out her dress.

“It was hard at the beginning because they travelled so much,” she remembers. Kerr had travelled with the Australian national team since she was 13 and was in her late teens when she moved to New York, the family separated by an ocean, an equator, 18,690km and a 12-hour time difference.

“Parents used to say to me, ‘How do you do it? I cry when my son goes on school camps and your daughter’s going halfway across the world?’ I’m like, ‘Just something you do’. I worry but I’m never going to stop them living their dreams. Sam doesn’t worry much about anything but she reckons I start crying before we’re 20 minutes out from the airport. Every time she dropped me in America, she’d say, ‘Bring the tissues because Mum will be crying the whole way there’. But she doesn’t.”

The Kerrs have a routine for big games: time difference permitting, the family convene at Roxanne’s house and they watch Sam play over dinner, surrounded by their nephews and niece.

A first-leg deficit meant Chelsea had to score twice at Kingsmeadow against Bayern Munich to progress to this Champions League final. The second leg earlier this month was locked at 2-1, the only scoreline that would bring extra time, for 41 minutes. “I was like, ‘They have to score this many goals’,” says Roxanne. “I never thought they would. I was so nervous, and I’ll be like that on Sunday. I won’t be able to sleep.”

The final will be shown at 2.30am in the Kerrs’ part of Australia.

Roxanne has predicted a 3-1 Chelsea win in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, but she lives in dread of a penalty shootout. “I’ll probably get up at one o’clock and walk around for an hour and a half, waiting for the game,” she says. “They’ve done us proud just getting there but now you want them to go all the way. I’ll set my alarm and we’ll all get up and watch it.”

There will be few complaints, you feel, at the early start if Kerr and Chelsea become European champions tonight.

Tootsie (1982); AFI #69

The film under review is the 1982 comedy Tootsie, directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Dustin Hoffman. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and was also inducted into the National Film Archives by the Library of Congress in 1998. I read over my notes about this film from when I watched it in 2014 and I didn’t think much of the film at the time, but I read Roger Ebert’s review and saw that it has very good Rotten Tomato and Metacritic scores so I figured I was just missing something. I watched it twice over the last couple of days and I think I feel the same as I did before. Bored. Here is a quick plot summary before we get to the breakdown:

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman)  is a respected actor, but nobody in New York wants to hire him because he is a perfectionist and difficult to work with. After many months without a job, Michael hears of an opening on the popular daytime soap opera Southwest General from his friend and acting student Sandy Lester (Terri Garr), who tries out for the role of hospital administrator Emily Kimberly. In desperation for work, Michael impersonates a woman and, auditioning under the name "Dorothy Michaels", gets the part. Michael takes the job as a way to raise $8,000 to produce a play, written by his roommate Jeff Slater (Bill Murray), which will star himself and Sandy. Michael plays his character as a feisty feminist, which is not how the part is written, and quickly becomes a national sensation. 

Michael gets into his part a little too much and he finds himself trying on clothes at Sandy’s house. She catches him and he covers up by claiming he wants to have sex with her. Exacerbating matters further, he is attracted to one of his co-stars, Julie Nichols (played by Jessica Lange), a single mother in an unhealthy relationship with the show's amoral, sexist director, Ron Carlisle. At a party, when Michael (as himself) approaches Julie with a pick-up line that she had previously told Dorothy she would be receptive to, she throws a drink in his face. 

Michael becomes close with Julie when he is dressed up as Dorothy and he is invited to a weekend at her father’s house. Michael starts to really fall for Julie, but it is Julie’s father Les (Charles Durning) that falls for Dorothy and even tries to propose. Michael freaks out and goes to his agent George Fields (played by Director Sydney Pollack) to try and get him off of the show. George refuses because he has assisted Michael in getting the part and worries there will be blow back over the deceit. 

Sandy visits Michael, asking why he hasn't answered her calls.  Michael admits he's in love with another woman, and Sandy screams and breaks up with him. The tipping point comes when, due to Dorothy's popularity, the show's producers want to extend her contract for another year. Michael finds a clever way to extricate himself: when the cast is forced by a technical problem to perform an episode live, he improvises a grand speech on camera, pulls off his wig and reveals that he is actually Edward, the character's twin brother who took her place to avenge her. 

The revelation allows everybody a more-or-less graceful way out. Julie, however, is so outraged that she punches him in the stomach once the cameras have stopped rolling, before storming off. Some weeks later, Michael is moving forward with producing Jeff's play. He also gives Les back his ring, and Les tells Michael: "The only reason you're still living is because I never kissed you." Michael later waits for Julie outside the studio. She is reluctant to talk to him, but finally admits she misses Dorothy. Michael tells her, "I was a better man with you as a woman than I ever was with a woman as a man." She forgives him and they walk down the street. The end.

This might seem abrupt, but that is really the ending. There are so many plot lines that were left unexplored, but realistically they weren’t going anywhere so maybe the sudden ending was a benefit. But what happened to Sandy? She was screwed over by Michael for the whole movie and then her fate is left pretty much unresolved. What about the agent? I guess he was disgraced and kicked out of the business? The dad was really OK with being fooled into proposing by a guy who was trying to trick his daughter? The movie is very incomplete. 

A strange almost irony is how bad the score is in this film (very generic 80s busy music) and that the story has recently become a stage play. On the other hand, taking a good premise and stripping it down to just the characters and then adapting it to the stage has worked well with Broadway. 

One virtue of the film is the different approach to portraying gender roles. I was raised in the 80s but I have long since forgotten the idea that a relationship was considered a  joke if the people involved were of the same gender. Gay relationships of the 80s were portrayed on the big and small screen as comical, with the men being flaming and effeminate and the women being butch and mean. This film does not do that. There are some scenes of gay panic, but that is because the characters are being caught up in their lies. The message is to be who you really are and I don’t feel like there is judgment against a particular lifestyle beyond when it is false to the character’s true nature. 

I personally find the premise of this movie much more interesting than the actual film itself. I can imagine that “an actor who crosses gender to earn a part and learns a powerful lesson about gender roles” sounds good and there are a lot of jokes about a man learning the difficulty of being a woman. I also think there is a dangerously close tread towards implying that a man could do a better job being a woman than a woman can. However, it turns out to be more along the lines of women can be incredibly strong if they had the privilege and entitlements that men have. It was very progressive for the time. 

All of the actual female characters are played so weak and it is funny that this is the only place in which the movie actually won an Oscar (Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Lange). Terri Garr is especially weak and neurotic with her character being screwed over throughout the movie. It is really the only character that I have ever seen the actress play, so I don’t know if there was anything else that could have come from her. Jessica Lange finally gains enough confidence to step away from a comfortable but bad relationship, but she ends the film in a strange relationship with a guy that has been lying to her consistently the whole time she has known him. 

I have found as I have researched this film and actually rewatched it a couple of times that I really don’t like this movie beyond the premise and how novel it was for the time. The ending was awkward and the premise gag ran out of steam halfway through the film. So would I recommend it? Not really. The awkward gender bending was done better before in Some Like It Hot (1959) and after in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), the challenge of switching gender roles was much better in Mr. Mom (1983), and the music was finally made tolerable in Tootsie the Musical. I would not recommend this film since it doesn’t hold up. Should it be on the AFI top 100? No. With movies like Dr. Zhivago dropped off the list, I don’t see why this one stayed on. It is a decent movie but the premise has been done better over and over again so it really does not stand up. At best, it was a reflection of how female roles were changing in society, but at worst it was a slightly funny single joke that ran for 2 hours. Really not something that deserves to be in the ranks of the greatest American movies.

MARTHA JONES INTRO

Gender/Pronouns: CIS Female & she/her

How long have they been in Sydney?: Memories: 1 year; Reality: 6 months

Job: Researcher, working on a grant from University of Sydney, studying local history and folklore

Which suburb do they live in?: Newtown

Memories of their real life : 

Martha Jones was born April 30 to parents Francine and Clive Jones. She grew up with two siblings- a younger sister and an older brother, both of whom she loved and cherished deeply. Family has always been an important part of Martha’s life, and many of the decisions she makes and has made center around her family’s wishes and wellbeing. While the home was happy for the majority of Martha’s childhood, things were certainly not as they appeared, and the merriment did not last long. Her father, Clive, was unhappy in his marriage and began cheating on her mother consistently, often with younger women. Once Francine realized what was happening, she immediately kicked Clive out of their home, insisting he take his belongings and go. From then on, their relationship was volatile and tumultuous at best, bitter and downright hateful at its worst. Martha and her siblings were often placed in the middle of their parents’ battles, asked to relay communications and messages, and often asked to choose sides in the neverending fight between them. Despite their parents’ inability to get along, Martha remained close with both of her parents individually, as well as with her siblings. She always excelled in academics, and her brains paired with her constant thirst for knowledge lead her directly into Medical School following the completion of her Bachelors Degree, after high school. It was during her time as a Medical Intern at a large London hospital that Martha met The Doctor; this was where their adventures began. After muddling through a strange situation in which their entire hospital was transported to the Moon, Martha learned of the existence of alien life, other realms, and other dimensions. This piqued her interest and her fascination with the unknown. She traveled with The Doctor for many ‘months’, experiencing all the universe had to offer, much to the chagrin of her mother. Once her time with The Doctor had ended, Martha took a position with UNIT and began working with them on a military level. During one of the larger cosmic battles between The Doctor and his arch-nemeses the Daleks, Martha believed she would be forced to literally end the world in favor of the planet being overtaken by the vicious beings. Just as she was about to turn the key, assisting in the self-destruction of the entire planet, Martha was transported. She believes Sydney is where she has landed, the place The Doctor chose for her, to hide her, to save both her and the world. 

What was their fake life like?: Martha’s fake life is a little quieter than what she is used to. As a researcher for the University of Sydney, she is taking an in-depth look at the history of Sydney, and the folklore surrounding it. She is aware and has a feeling that something is off about the location and the situation, and she is seeking to discover precisely what that is, through the tellings of residents and the history books. She believes the location was not random, and that The Doctor intends for her to discover something here. She lives in an apartment in Newtown, and does not socialize much as she is busy with her research and studies, though she is known at the libraries in town (not THE LIBRARY but the others), and she has begun systematically conducting interviews to help her begin piecing together her research.

Penny Wu

Hello Frisbee People,

Penny Wu here. A single person told me I'd be an interesting Being_Ulti guest, so here I am on Being_Ulti, trying to be interesting. I live in Detroit (for now), but other places I've called home include Washington, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Sydney (GCOE), Georgia, and California. I've also been privileged enough to get to play ultimate in places like Malaysia, France, Italy (lift for Lecco, baby), and Portugal. I sit on the board of the PUL as the rep for Columbus Pride, and was once the indisputable worst benchwarmer in the entire AUDL.

To pay for frisbee and frisbee costumes (and other less important things), I work as an IT specialist for a massive international auto industry corporation. Most of that job involves being shipped, economy class, for a couple weeks at a time, to various parts of the world where land and labor are cheap enough to build giant car factories. It is a passionless vibe. However, I did found an LGBT+ employee resource group here, and so far we've gotten pronouns added to email signatures and are working on getting the company to improve their trans-affirming healthcare and domestic partner employee benefits.

In the past, I've been paid to: make coffee, fix cars, rent out library books, make pottery, wait tables, tend bar, sell discount shoes and overpriced clothes, teach classical flute, engineer LED light fixtures, engineer spaceship parts, engineer clean energy vehicles, coach frisbee/tennis/ice hockey, be a plumber/electrician/mechanic's assistant, and be the night manager for the crappiest little beach hotel you can possibly imagine.

Outside of ultimate and capitalism, I play and watch sports (tennis, ice hockey, axe throwing, disc golf, ball golf, F1), go camping of any kind (but backpacking is my favorite), play vidya (PC and PS5), do drugs in neat places, be a terrible photographer pretending to be a real photographer, do community/political legwork, ride boards (wheels or snow or waves), try really hard at cooking, make art/music, and get ghosted on tinder. I attempt the crossword every day (never finished anything harder than a Wednesday), and my best rating on chess.com was 1400 in the 10 minute blitz. I'm working on visiting every hockey arena (7/32 so far, go Ducks!), my transition (it's a lot of work), getting back into stand-up, and building/maintaining/reigniting as many relationships as I can. I've had the same car since I was 17, just got my 4th tattoo, and my hair currently has some sort of blue nonsense going on. In undergrad I studied physics, and then went on to get an absolutely useless masters in materials science.

I am Asian - a 4th generation Japanese American and a 2nd Generation Chinese American. That means my mother's grandfather and his three friends kidnapped the lookout from the shipping vessel they worked aboard and swam into San Francisco. Generations later, after being released and reunited from the WWII internment camps, the Inouyes settled into a life of poverty in southern California. It also means my dad saw snow for the first time when he moved from China to upstate New York for college.

I am also, notably, transgender as hell. Sometimes it feels like the biggest part of who I am, which is why I took the time to share all of that other stuff here. I take hormones a couple times a day and am staring up at the financial mountain of gender-affirming surgery that is somehow buried under the bottomless, interest-accruing chasm of student loan debt. Life is, and metaphors are, hard.

I would love to use this time to talk about ANYTHING. I'll be sharing whatever inspires me throughout the week, but I would love to bring people together across the community over shared interests that often fall by the wayside to understandably important discussions that normally dominate the twitterscape. Of course you can expect me to use this megaphone to shed light on the intersections in which I exist, but there's no limit to how much I can tweet, and if there is, we can find it together.

Wishing you a happy holiday season. Be safe and take care of the people you love.

Method,

Kurt Cobain already had a vision for the cover. Fisher took this idea of a baby being born underwater and went to the bookstore to find images that could be used. After going through hundreds of birthing books and baby books. Fisher realized that they were far too graphic to use. This idea of childbirth was then ruled out, and the idea of a baby simply being underwater was born, however the band wanted something more. Cobain came up with the idea of adding something like fishhook and a dollar bill to make it more menacing. The idea came together organically. Fisher needed a photographer and found Kirk Weddle to do the job, he specialized in ‘submerged humans.’ They went to the Pasadena Aquatic center and got 4 or 5 different parents to come and use their babies. They took turns passing their babies in front of the camera. They used a doll for test shots. A week after the shoots there was 40-50 proof sheet shots. The image that was chosen was ‘perfect’ according to fisher, in the context of positioning and the look on the baby’s face. Before computers the images were sent off to darkrooms to do what photoshop does. Fisher requested the fishhook and took some photos and set up polaroid’s of how he wanted the dollar bill to look and be positioned. It would be then sent off and come back 4 or 5 days later. Finally, when the image came back the last thing to perfect was the text. Fisher used a xerox machine and as it was scanning pulled it and wiggled it. He then did it on the opposite side and got the wavy type. This was groundbreaking in those times. The success of never mind was partly due to the incredible cover and the cover is now featured in the museum of Modern Art’s Collection.

David Carson:

Method:

David Carson was the first art director of Ray Gun a grunge and independent music scene. Carson was well known for breaking the so called ‘rules’ of graphic design. Carson didn’t standardize the pages or allocate any type of numbering system. Carson created rigid patterns and non-cohesive layouts including the leading, white space and disorganized margins. Carson said himself “a lot of people … simply take in visual information differently now” the inconsistency in the pages confused the readers. Some viewers hated it and others loved the disorganized feeling that the magazine portrayed. Carson’s own reflection showed he was simply trying to express the information that made the most sense to him which was a rebel against modern design. Carson had done a lot of work by hand, by cutting out and rearranging layouts and sending them to printers to be pasted down pieces of art. The pages of Ray Gun although not stereotypical pieces of Design was a groundbreaking experiment in which no one had seen before. Breaking the rules of classic graphic design and expanding the box of ideas in which design had been done in before.

Carl Herner

Method:

Carl Herner a graphic designer focuses on using tools in non traditionalways or in even in the wrong way. The project was MacGuffin Magazines trousers’ issue. Herner was asked to illustrate the article of the Fantastic Man’s Founding editor; Gert Jonker’s , where Jonker’s talked about his favorite pair of trousers. They needed the visual element for the article. Working with the Magazines art director Sandra Kassenaar. Focusing on 3d software Herner and Kassenaar started to scan digitally real trousers that was found in studio. The trousers were scanned in piece by piece until they had scanned the whole pair of pants. These were then sent on file to Herner individually. They then built a pair and stitched the files together around a body which made a 3d model. The next step was to create a texture map of where the stitching would go. These could then be manipulated digitally as if someone was wearing them. Herner discussed the idea of fluidity and how the pants without anyone in them is about the movement and the texture of the pants. Not about the person in them.

Hannah Höch

Context:

Der Maler was a piece created by Hannah Höch in satire. Höch Wrote regarding the piece in reference to sexism of the Berlin Dada Movement in which she believed there was an underlying the movement. It also referenced German politics, male privileged and scientific objectification. The story goes that a modern painter by the name of Gotthold Himmelreich which means “God-Beloved Heavenly-Kingdom”, was forced to wash dishes by his wife. He felt degraded as a man and his manhood suffered under a feminine soul. Himmelreich becomes determined to overcome this suffering through his painting. He wanted to represent the likeliness between the female should and the nature of chives. He believed that emptiness filled both of these objects and presented it as if scientifically dissected. The story shows the frustrations and self-doubt of this man Himmelreich. And reflects the idea that every man ultimately fails to represent and or control the essence of a woman. This piece was represented in the form of photomontage. Was produced by the images and type that the mass media printed for the public.

Ken Done:

Methpod:

Ken done was commissioned by The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney to paint the walls of the restaurant inside the museum. Done suggested painting it in a garden theme. This was suggested to alleviate the industrial architectural design of the powerhouse, the garden theme was to deflect the brick walls. Starting with drawings and ideas for dining ware, such as plates, cups, placemats etc. Done then moved on to a model replicant of the restaurant with a removable and lift off roof which was made by the museums model maker Iain Scott-Stevenson. The idea was to use vivid shapes and colours over all of the surfaces including the ceilings. These bright colours and shapes were to elevate and enliven the interior. Done turned a peculiarfeature of the room into a beautiful painting, in the pitched ceiling where the roof meets the vertical walls. Done took this feature and painted giant green leaves and fronds. Done plays with the illusion of space and form he “leans into the surroundings.” Done plays with imager and layers to energise the surroundings. Done took into account the lack of windows and in response he painted a yellow sun on the peak of the roof. Done included yellow rays of sunlight which draws attention to the height of the south wall. Done included sculptures of vases and flowers around the restaurant and paintings over top of the painted walls to preserve his work. Done’s playfulness and secondary objects is to serve as a memory of what was once there if the museum ever painted over his work. This was compared to the Rex Whistler Restaurant in the Tate Gallery which was left for 70 years.

Andy Warhol

Context:

In 1977 and 1978 Warhol and his assistant Ronnie Cutrine started an experimental project of works: The Oxidisation Piss and Cum paintings. After Warhol’s last movie “Andy Warhol’s bad” in 1976. Warhol wanted to stray away from his recent pop art and society portraits and focus more on abstract art. In his diary entry from the 70’s he had admitted that since being shot by actress Valerie Solanas in 1968 he hadn’t produced any “good” art. His critics reducing him to society portraitist. Warhol wanted to change this and keep his vanguard status by trying these experimental projects.

Method:

Warhol pulled out a canvas of conceptualwork from the 1960’s in which he had urinated on a white canvas. Using the same participants who had collaborated in the torso and sex paintings from 1976 to early 1978. The paintings were made with urinating, pouring, or dripping urine onto primed canvass’s with either copper or gold metallic paints, which created varied colour and textures. These chemical experimentationsturned invisible paintings into visually viable artworks. The rich gold and green colours created these lush colour fields paintings with varied colour and textures.

Richard Hamilton:

Context:

Richard Hamilton wanted to create realism with his phycological experiments. The dark and chaotic “murder” scenes he would create were reference to the violent epidemic in new York at the time. These outlined figures with red paint as reference to blood, would catch people off guard. Hamilton wanted these public art pieces to be a reminder that we could all be victims as soon as we stepped outside. Hamilton would find and locate important parts of the city such as the city hall and the library’s and other locations to serve as a reminder of what was happening in the city at the time. Hamilton also set up an office as if he was a detective and called him self Mr Ree Dick Trace It. The play on the name Mr Ree was in reference to his mysterious outlined figures. In this office he put up maps and painted over in red paint as if to replicate blood to reference the bloodshed in the city. His figures made the news and Hamilton wanted to play with the media, as they weren’t sure if these were actual murders or what they were as public art wasn’t common in the 70’s. This confused the police, Hamilton took this further by putting up wanted posters of himself however this led to him being told he would never be given a grant again. This phycological experiment wasn’t his only public phycological piece of art. Hamilton followed the outlined murder victims with a piece called I only have eyes for you, which was life sized figures of himself stuck on walls with blueprint paper so they would fade to white shadows with the weather. This figure represented a man lost in the city all dressed up with nowhere to go. Hamilton’s experiments and public art pieces confused and shocked the public which was his intent with these phycological pieces.

Roy listechstien

Method:

Roy Listechstien was a notable artist for his pop art; however he took it one step further with his brushstroke sculptures which were commissioned in cities such as Tokyo, Barcelona, Washington and other cities across the world. These pieces were looking at how to isolate a 2-dimensional brush stroke. The process started with left over cut-outs from his paintings and collages focusing on the singular stroke. After arranging these cut-outs Listechstien would sketch the positionings on the wall in pencil. The problem was looking at the art in a 2-dimensional way although it was a 3-dimensional peice of art. The focus was on the way the brushstrokes serve a dual function. On canvas they break themselves down into linear shapes of the pieces of hair from the brush however, Listechstien turns it into a way in which these shapes overlap. Listechstien focuses on the movement of the brush this movement takes them from a 2-dimensional piece to 3-dimensional sculpture. Listechstien refers to them as cartoon like saying that we don’t see a cartoon explosion as a real one, but we still understand what it is, an explosion. Listechstien uses this same idea for his brushstrokes. Listechstien put smaller versions of the models onto images of the buildings to find the right spacing although it was a public commission Listechstien wanted to be sure that he liked his pieces first regardless of the public opinion.He drew the life-sized pieces on a piece of paper which were 20 feet long so he could see what they would look like before sending them off to the welders and sculptors. These sculptures were a challenge to him and a challenge to the public to appreciate art as a human value of acceptance.

Keith haring

Context:

The apocalypse series was a collaboration between two queer artists Keith Haring and William S Burroughs. These Ten pieces were created by Haring and the writing that accompanied them was written by Burroughs. The Title Apocalypse was a reference to the book of revelation in which this piece was inspired by. Haring wrote in his journals of his concern of his work being obscene. The apocalypse series was a queer take on the book of revelation and a reflection of the AIDS epidemic going on at the time. Christian’s at the time were deeming AIDS a s gods punishment for homosexuality or any other ‘sins.’ Haring interpreted AIDS as a weapon for white men who oppress, colonize, control and dominate and called it “their evil disease”. The demon sperm that haring illustrates, references American culture. These apocalyptic imagery has been a source of powerful imagery to unpack the impact of the AIDS epidemic in the gay and queer community. This demon sperm that Haring plays with throughout the series appears with the number 666 which in the book of revelations is the ‘number of the beast’ these demonic images denotes AIDs and reference the queer take on Christianity. The Beast is the physical symbol of AIDS and he is depicted with a broken horn, coming out of the hole of the palm of the hand of the girl, which is a sign of Jesus’s hand where he was nailed to the cross. Haring adds medusa hair and bird legs to the girl to change the innocence and purity of the child into an impure and hybrid style object referencing death as a reflection of the AIDS epidemic. The referencing to Revelations is an important part of the series as this reflection was their interpretation of the AIDS epidemic through the story of Christianity which was something that was denoting the queer culture of the time.

"Red Dead Redemption" programmer R Celebrity will launch 3A VR game; "Rockman" VR version will be launched on July 18

It is a good habit to read the regular newspaper. Capcom launches the VR version of the vintage game "Rockman", which will be launched on July 18 at the VR arcade store VR Gyro July 7 news, Capcom will launch another popular game on its Japanese virtual reality arcade device-"Mega Guy VR" (Mega Guy VR). "Rockman VR" will make its debut at Capcom Plaza in Ikebukuro, Tokyo on July 18. It is a one player game. Gamers may decorate as a glowing blue bomber and challenge the enemy along with his iconic weapons and cannons. From the latest promotional poster of "Rockman VR", you can observe that the villain in the series, Dr. Willie, placed on their own headset to conquer the digital world. Gamers will have to enter the digital dimension themselves as Megaman to block his strategy.

After actually coming to Capcom Plaza in Ikebukuro, we watched the business's two "Resident Evil" VR arcade video games, which were exhibited in very last year's VR Culture Show. Just over the road from The Void, the virtual reality theme park in Bandai Namco, you can even enjoy the virtual reality version of Mario Kart and the digital reality version of Pac-Guy in Mazaria-this area of ??Tokyo is simply virtual Reasonable heaven. It is not clear whether "Rockman VR" will replace one of the previous competitive video games, but based on available space constraints, this is probable. As of now, no other news about "Rockman VR" has been introduced, but it is basically impossible because of this game to surface in theme park games in various other regions, aside from on a house headset platform. Up to now, non-e of Capcom's various other Japanese virtual reality games have done this. Valve Index shows indications of replenishment for the very first time because the epidemic broke out Because the outbreak of COVID-19, the supply capacity of Valve Index has been seriously insufficient, and contains been sold-out globally for a long period. Also affected by the epidemic, Oculus Quest and Rift have obtained sufficient stock replenishment generally in most nations and regions accessible in the previous two months. But on July 6, 2020, we discovered that Valve Index had indications of replenishment. By searching the Valve Index's stock availability in 31 saleable regions worldwide. We discovered that although the Valve Index VR package still shows around delivery time of more than 8 weeks, the delivery period of independent orders because of its VR headset devices only takes 3 to 5 5 weeks.

With the launch of "Half-Life: Alyx" in later March this year, the new inventory of the Valve Index has been purchased instantly, and the estimated delivery time for several its sales regions has been showing that it will take more than 8 weeks. This is actually the first-time since March that we have observed the estimated delivery period of Valve Index displaying less than 8 weeks. Although Valve Index still does not have any stock in stock, we can still register beforehand through the following website. After registering and reserving, Valve Index will notify you by email a week in advance if you find about to be stock, nonetheless it will not guarantee that it could be shipped immediately. Due to the epidemic, China's manufacturing industry has suffered a dual blow. Not merely is the demand for VR devices on a global scale facing an increase, but the source is reduced because of production interruptions. Although during the past two months, Quest's stock has begun to increase, indicating that the way to obtain VR tools has begun to slowly recover, nonetheless it is not clear whether Index will also go back to normal source in the near future. Valve continues to promote Index wireless, or launch SteamVR Link According to the news on July 7th, Valve is currently vigorously advertising the wirelessization of Index headphones, and it is expected that design can look within the next generation of headphones. The Valve representative confirmed in a statement to foreign media that Valve is still exploring the chance of wifi VR. In regards to a year ago, the initial Valve Index headset begun to appear in top of buyers, also it brought PC users among the best VR experiences on the market. However, this version still doesn't have a wireless option, and you can find other easy-to-set wireless products on the market (such as for example Oculus Quest), that will become a shortcoming to restrict the advancement of PC VR.

During the headset meeting this past year, Valve President Gabe Newell commented they are learning several ways to put into action Index headset cellular. This is his investment in Nitero's wireless chip company (before AMD's acquisition) and Newell's declaration in 2017 Said that wireless VR is really a "solved issue" following the latest touch upon the topic: "We have been excited about the chance of wireless VR and will continue to explore its options." The wireless competition is founded on Oculus technical guidelines. John Carmack commented on Oculus Connect this past year: “Establishing a devoted wireless link between Oculus Quest and PC might be a priority for Facebook. For example, an encrypted slot inserted into a USB port may be used Present Wi-Fi rate of recurrence bands supported by Quest, and not affected by other network traffic, may maintain a more consistent knowledge. This practical accessory is simpler to set up than earlier Vive wireless adapters, which might affect the usage of PC VR And the usage of Valve Steam's headset combination includes a huge impact. However, Index isn't a stand-alone gadget, nor is there a battery, so if Valve will be working on wireless options for the headset, its development direction may be various from the products produced by Facebook. Of course, Valve also released the "Steam Link package" in 2015, which identifies a technologies that expands your Steam game library to any space inside your home by way of a home system. In the past 2 yrs, Valve halted the production of Steam Hyperlink and instead provided something that can transfer the traditional Steam game library to numerous different devices, including Android and iOS. Can Valve produce something similar to "SteamVR Link" that allows Index and other PC VR headphones to use this unfettered headset knowledge? Such accessories may have a large impact on the usage of PC VR Impact, nonetheless it is clear that the recent statement didn't supply any hint. The VR game advancement team of "LA Noire" will create a fresh 3A open world VR game for Rockstar On July 6, Sydney game developer Video Games Deluxe posted a job posting on LinkedIn, claiming that it had confirmed that it could develop an "AAA open world" for Rockstar, requiring the recruitment of appropriate senior programmers, designers, animation particular effects and other game technologies personnel.

Sydney game programmer Video Games Deluxe developed the highly acclaimed "Una Noire: VR Situation Files" (L.The. Noire) for Rockstar. The game is a darkish and violent crime thriller game that turns gamers into law enforcement detectives. Crack through the brutal crimes, tips and conspiracies of the true crimes in LA in 1947, experience the almost all corrupt and violent period in LA in the 1940s, and present them in incredible virtual reality.

Certainly, Rockstar is quite satisfied with the game effect of "LA Noire: VR Case Files" (L.The. Noire) and proceeds to invite programmer Video Games Deluxe to take part in creating fresh VR game tasks. According to LinkedIn's recruitment info, Video Games Deluxe appears to be a fresh breakthrough in VR game effects. At the moment, the VR game project is still in early advancement and is worth looking forward to. Glastonburry hosts Misplaced Horizon, the world's largest VR music festival, developing a new type of music festival in the future From July 3rd to 4th, 2020, Glastonbury, the world's largest songs event, cooperated with virtual VR streaming systems VR JAM and Sansar to successfully host the world's largest VR songs art event Lost Horizon.

Glastonbury is normally held in the UK for 5 times and is one of the largest outdoor songs festivals on earth. In the past 15 many years, it offers effectively invited the world's top songs lineups including Radiohead, Coldplay, Beyonce, David Bowie, Jay-Z, Oasis, Paul McCartney, etc. Due to the fresh crown epidemic, Glastonbury had to cancel the songs festival intend to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. However, Glastonbury didn't totally abandon its anniversary celebrations. Rather, it innovatively cooperated with the VR public platform Sansar to effectively create an unforgettable interactive, multi-stage particular program-VR Music Artwork Feast Lost Horizon Music Event . Through the Lost Horizon virtual VR music event, Glastonbury not merely successfully presented its beloved and popular “Shangri-La” area to the audience, but additionally created the primary hall, independent hall, art gallery and 4 virtual VR stages with different themes. According to Kyle Melnick, one of the audience of the virtual songs festival, when he enters the VR songs festival hall for the very first time, there will be staff members to welcome and help the participation process of the virtual VR songs festival. The personnel in the Lost Horizon Virtual VR Music Festival are VR virtual personas with independent individual characteristics. For example, you can obtain professional assistance from the skateboarding breakdancing cartoon personas to take part in the VR songs festival and take a seat on a chair in the united kingdom to take pleasure from the breeze. , Playing beach ball with other digital unfamiliar music event netizens is a wonderful virtual experience.

In addition to these interactive virtual experiences, the largest highlight of the Lost Horizon Virtual Music Festival is songs. In the 2-day event, 4 stages of various genres, more than 50 exciting music exhibits, more than 100 top songs performers, more than 200 music and artworks, including Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Nastia, Nick Warren b2b Jody Wisternoff, Orca Audio, Partiboi69, Peggy Gou, Pete Tong, Sasha, Seth Troxler, etc. have understood the usage of live real music to create an immersive digital music art entire world. Audiences of the Lost Horizon Virtual Music Festival can change between different performances at will through multiple digital camera angles on computer systems, cellular devices, and VR devices, and can freely explore some hidden egg venues in the music event.

This Lost Horizon Virtual VR Music Festival successfully created a music event of the future, developing a new virtual immersive interactive experience by way of a brand-new music art platform, and breaking through the boundaries of time and space, allowing audiences to use electronics anywhere Equipment participation has realized the most cutting-edge live entertainment and creative community concepts. The Under Gifts will reproduce Shakespeare's classic drama "The Tempest" in VR The Under Gifts is going to release a classic Shakespeare drama "The Tempest". Release period: July 9th to the end of September Screening period: 4 hours altogether, screened from 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm Pacific Time about weekdays, and 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Pacific Time on weekends Ticket price: Us all$15 (available for in-app purchase at The Under Gifts) Equipment: Rift or Quest

"The Under Gifts" premiered by the end of this past year. It mixes immersive drama and digital reality technologies, allowing audiences to interact with actors and other audiences in the storyline, and have the immersive experience of real actors and script performances in VR. It is a VR program that combines multiple elements such as for example singing and dance performances, time journey, video games, and drama. According to Tender Claws, the programmer of "The Below Presents", the freshly launched Shakespeare's "The Tempest" will undoubtedly be split into two components, multiplayer interactive video games and reside theater performances. While the audience is free to watch the drama, "The Tempest" will also supply about 45 a few minutes of multiplayer game time, however the audience can also spend $11.99 in the app to get the Timeboat single-player game experience which includes unlimited multiplayer opportunities . In addition, the audience will also have the opportunity to execute a live life VR drama performance of about 40 a few minutes with the actors.

However, this new work "Storm" is currently not available within the Steam version of The Below Gifts, and its own release process may change based on the prices of the entire project (at least for Rift and Quest devices). In the VR theater of The Under Gifts "The Tempest", the audience can experience virtual drama costume dressing and take part in pantomime performances. This is an immersive knowledge that you'll not have when watching drama performances in true to life. And the performances that the audience participates in changes, because each theater will have 6 to 8 8 player groupings, and each performance will be performed by various actors and participants simultaneously.

Samantha Gorman, the co-founder of Tender Claws, said that after 7 a few months of exchanges and studying with live actors in The Under Gifts, this individual clearly realized that innovative theatrical strategy combined with VR virtual technologies can give a lot more prominence to the performers. Especially with the outbreak of the epidemic, many theaters were forced to close, which is a huge professional challenge for many drama performers. In addition, people are residing at home, hoping to find new ways of socializing on the premise of making sure the safety of the epidemic. Samantha Gorman believes that The Under Gifts can bring fresh vitality in lots of ways. The launch of Shakespeare's traditional drama "The Tempest" not merely provides new career possibilities for theater actors and audiences, but also produces VR. A fresh chapter in digital performance theater. *Understand XR info the first time * Follow the state website of VR Gyro (vrtuoluo.cn) Contact info of VR Gyro: Business Cooperation | Job interview | Contribution: Watermelon (Line quantity 18659030320) Yuga (Line No. 13129537525) Wen Jing (Collection number mutou_kiki) Exchange Sharing | Breaking the news headlines: Line shimotsuki_jun Contribution e-mail: [email protected]

What It’s Like Working At One Of Sydney’s Premier Interior Firms

What It’s Like Working At One Of Sydney’s Premier Interior Firms

Dream Job

by Elle Murrell

Greg’s generous mentorship and a part-time role while she was studying at ISCD, gave Lisa an opportunity to utilise their unbelievable library of incredible samples. Photo – Alisha Gore for The Design Files.

As a student at ISCD, Lisa dived deep into the theory of colour as well as mastering the elements and principles of design, ‘which definitely honed my skills and fine-tuned my eye for colour and design,’ tells the 29-year-old. Photo – Alisha Gore for The Design Files.

Every now and then, you hear those stories of someone entering a competition AND against all statistical odds… winning, whether that be the X-millions super jackpot, or the international trip of their dreams. Lisa Dingelmaier is one of those winners, though, her success wasn’t by chance, and the prize was more of an opportunity.

Austrian-born Lisa enrolled in an Interior Styling and Decoration course at International School of Colour and Design (ISCD) after relocating to Sydney with her Australian partner. Upon completing her certification, she had her heart set on undertaking the Interior Design course with ISCD, and so entered an associated competition where Greg Natale, of the eponymous Sydney-based design studio, was one of the judges. Though not successful, Lisa’s incredibly diligent application (the A5 board she submitted included a QR code to this imaginative video, which she’d worked on for two weeks straight!) made such an impression that ISCD added another award for her. As a result, she was connected to a new mentor and an incredibly valuable industry contact in Greg.

The course guided Lisa through concept-based design, giving her the competence and confidence to design interiors based on a client brief, just like she hoped she ‘would get to in the real world’. Lessons dived deep into the theory of colour as well as mastering the elements and principles of design, ‘which definitely honed my skills and fine-tuned my eye for colour and design,’ tells the 29-year-old. On top of all that, she also took up the opportunity to gain additional industry experience: working as a stylist’s assistant on photo shoots for House & Garden magazine.

The Greg Natale Design connection Lisa has fostered over the duration of her degree provided the key to her eventual career pathway. Working part-time at his revered Surry Hills-based firm, it wasn’t long before the student proved herself an asset to Greg’s team. Upon graduating, she was asked to go full-time as a Junior Interior Designer at the studio in 2016, before more recently being promoted to Interior Designer.

The driven creative gave us more insight into how she got the most out of her studies, and why you should always make plenty of time for a job application that piques your interest…

The most important verb in the get-your-dream-job lexicon is…

… passion.

Passion for your work and a sense of fulfilment go hand-in-hand, it’s all about motivation and getting a job WELL done. When you’re passionate about your work, you always seem to find the energy to work just one more hour, you keep digging until you find answers or make that one more critical phone call.

I landed this job by…

… I entered a competition for a scholarship at ISCD, where Greg was one of the judges. Happily, I was awarded a partial scholarship and with that came three one-on-one mentoring sessions with Greg. He is a great supporter of young designers; not only did I gain so much insight from these sessions during my studies but I was also invited to assist, from time-to-time, in the office when I wasn’t busy in class. Having the opportunity to soak everything up in that environment (how a real job is done and how a creative process works, as well as all the behind-the-scenes work like scheduling, creating amazing mood boards and utilising an unbelievable library of incredible samples), while I was still a student, was incredible.

During that time, I displayed my work ethic and the passion I had, plus I was always keen to help out wherever I was needed. Greg is very passionate about his work, so he recognises this in other people.  Once I finished my studies Greg offered me a position in the studio – a dream come true!

A typical day for me involves…

After a quick coffee, the company’s architecture and interior design teams gather with Greg for a morning work-in-progress meeting, going over current projects and covering off any other matters that have come up.

Next, I usually get on top of emails that have come in overnight – we work with a lot of suppliers and clients overseas so you have to be conscious of the time difference.

Depending on the day, we might have a few supplier presentations in the morning, which keep us up to date with the latest trends and products out there. I enjoy these as they can be very inspirational and get your creative juices flowing.

I usually spend the rest of the day working through projects. This involves working with Greg, the senior designers, our product design team, our graphic designer, and marketing and admin departments. Depending on what stage the project is in, it can vary from helping with concepting new ideas, sourcing materials or products, to calling in samples and pricing from suppliers to ordering furniture, finishes, and fixtures and lastly, helping out with installations.

The most rewarding part of my job is…

… seeing how Greg creates his award-winning spaces and communicates and sells the creative ideas to clients – it’s super exciting being able to be a part of that process.

I deeply enjoy the early stages of a new project, witnessing the concept come together by taking a client’s brief, collecting different materials from stone to timber and fabrics and seeing how Greg brings that all to life – creativity and imagination run free, ideas are bounced around and designs are visualised into a language the client can understand.

On the other hand, the most challenging aspect is…

… multitasking. Working on many projects in various stages and juggling deadlines can be at times stressful. Our interiors and architecture teams usually have up to 30 projects running at any one time. So, you definitely need to keep your cool and be super organised. I have become a big fan of lists!

The culture of my workplace is…

I love working in such a buzzing, creative office full of happy people. Greg works very collaboratively with his clients, and he encourages the sharing of ideas in our studio – we’re creating interiors, architecture, and products, which makes for such a fast-paced atmosphere!

My idea of the perfect workplace is…

… where I am now.

Not only is it providing me with opportunities for growth and development, but our office is also a very inspirational space in which to work. Coming to work every day isn’t hard when you work in such a beautifully designed space too!

The best piece of advice I’ve received is…

… work hard, stay positive, dream big, AND don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Over the years, my workplace has…

… continued to grow and grow. When I first started being mentored by Greg he had just moved the studio into a brand new custom designed headquarters in Surry Hills to accommodate everyone!

Since then, Greg Natale Design has celebrated 17 years in business, and in 2018 released a second book through Rizzoli in New York, as well as began distributing new accessories and product lines around the world. We now have a trade and media showroom, along with warehousing and clients all over the world. It’s been amazing being a part of this!

In the next five years, I’d like to…

… develop new skills, including becoming proficient in more 3-D rendering software like Revit, and improving my AutoCAD skills. I’d like to continue to work with interesting people, and simply see where the opportunities take me. The Maison&Objet trade fair in Paris is definitely on my bucket list!

Home Improvement Projects Can Be Fun If You Know The Right Way To Complete Them

New Post has been published on http://rubbishremovalsydney.xyz/home-improvement-projects-can-be-fun-if-you-know-the-right-way-to-complete-them/

Home Improvement Projects Can Be Fun If You Know The Right Way To Complete Them

Many people are interested in doing home improvement, but they often find it to be too difficult to complete and give up. Home improvements are easy if you possess the proper know-how. Use the information in this article to assist you in your attempts at home improvement.

Ensure you dust all of your home once a week. Allergens and dust bunnies seem to breed when dust accumulates. You can also find any insect problem with ant or fleas by dusting all the areas of your home on a weekly basis.

TIP! Consider putting on a unique addition to make your home more classy. You could for instance create a wine cellar, a library or a shelving.

Fun is a necessary part of all home projects. Although it’s important that you are careful and serious when doing your work, it is also vital that you have a great time doing it. It is more likely that you will make mistakes if you don’t have fun with your project. Think about finding a professional to do the job for you if cannot do it yourself.

Prior to tackling a major home improvement project by yourself, it might be wise to solicit a professional opinion. Many times, that opinion will save you quite a bit of money and time. Choosing not to consult a professional can mean disaster.

The lighting inside a room makes a big difference in how it looks. Bright rooms will be more inviting for people that live there. Choosing to install an extra light fixture can add extra brightness to a given space. By brightening a dark room one will make the over all feel of the house improved.

TIP! Repainting a porch may be something you need to do. Your paint should be a quality exterior variety.

Focus on the front porch if you are thinking about home improvements. The porch will will be the first visible area anytime your neighbors or friends pay a visit. Take away any junk strewn about, add a fresh coat of varnish, and try adding little touches like furniture, flowers, and lighting. This can increase the property value of your home.

Install new knobs on your cabinets for a fresh look. Cabinet knobs can be easily installed and they actually add quite a bit of help in improving the decor of your kitchen. Make sure to clean the cabinet doors well, because new knobs or handles on dirty, dingy looking doors detract from the newness of the fixtures. Once they’re clean, add your new knobs.

As previously stated, a lot of people want to fix things in their house, but don’t have the confidence to get started. Once you know more about it, home improvement is not so hard. Keep this article’s suggestions in mind and you’ll be much better prepared for your next job.

Hopefully he meant a “better paid job”, otherwise his comment reveals a disturbing attitude that borders on contempt for people who work in the aged-care industry.

In addition, it shows a complete lack of awareness that it is nigh on impossible in the current economic climate for anyone over the age of 45 (let alone 60) to get another job. – Julie Taylor, Epping

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Photo: Alex Ellinghausen

Any “aspirational” 60-year-old person finds it difficult – if not impossible – to find a job, let alone a better one that they may hold or have held. Sixty-year-old aged-care workers aspire to having more shifts, better pay, and full-time or permanent part-time jobs rather than uncertain casual work.

A 60-year-old aged-care worker in Burnie, the subject of the PM’s aspirations, would struggle to find any other job in any part of Tasmania, let alone a better job. Aged care is a good job and would be better with job security, better terms and conditions, including protection against employers reducing staff to save costs. – Megan Stoyles, Aireys Inlet (Vic)

It is beyond belief that the self-proclaimed economic experts in the federal government still cling to the thoroughly discredited old neo-liberal concept of trickle-down economics, which has been demonstrated time after time not to work.

Even Nobel prize winning economists have pilloried it and the reasoning is quite simple, apart from any ethical consideration. If you give extra spending power to the workers, they will spend it – they have to – and thereby stimulate the economy. Give it to the rich and they will just add it to their already large nest egg. – Victor Webster, Balgowlah

The issues at play in parliament at the moment are extremely complex. One would need an economics degree to understand all the ramifications of the tax debate. Yet, just one person who has never put their head in a book, can determine the outcome (“Hanson moves to give PM victory”, June 21).

I propose all persons standing for any parliament in Australia should have at least one university qualification. Parliaments would be filled with a diversity of academic skills for all other parliamentarians to draw on, resulting in better considered outcomes. – Tony Lewis, Mount Victoria

John Byrne suggests that Rupert Murdoch could be a potential buyer of the Liberal Party (Letters, June 21). I thought he already owned it. – John Truman, St Leonards

If a school’s facilities are lacking, it needs money

Yet another complicated way to ascertain who should get what in regard to school funding (“Tax linked to school funding”, Jun 21). I thought all parties agreed on “needs-based” funding, so why don’t we look at a school’s needs to determine who gets what?

Here’s a clue: if a school has an oval that is better maintained than the local professional sport, or two pools, or is thinking of spending $22 million on remodelling its library to look like a Scottish castle, then maybe its funding should be reduced slightly.

If a school has 20 or 30 per cent of its students in demountables, then perhaps its funding should be increased slightly. – Brenton McGeachie, Queanbeyan West

The proposal to determine federal government payments to private schools by the income tax paid by parents provides yet another powerful incentive for wealthy people to do all they can to reduce their income tax to zero.

One can imagine private schools holding seminars advocating the use of family trusts and other devices to reduce tax, along with presentations by accountants – who are expert in tax avoidance – to assist the school in gaining more federal government funding. – Bill Johnstone, Blackheath

The most recent federal government school funding plan does nothing to assist the very real needs in our public schools. There’s a backlog in the maintenance of ageing school buildings; a lack of facilities compared to private schools; and serious overcrowding at public schools, where many experience increasing poverty and rising living costs.

The state government cannot continue to bear the burden of funding for our public schools and their students. It is time the federal government stepped in to protect and assist the education of those in public schools. – Janice Creenaune, Austinmer

Hearing voices

Wonderful piece by one of Australia’s National Treasures, Richard Gill (“Perrottet’s $100 music gesture is off key”, June 21). One of the tragedies is the dearth of anyone in federal or state parliaments committed to the arts in general, and music in particular. Where are the Keatings and the Whitlams?

He has not said anything that any parent with a child learning an instrument does not already know. And yet our politicians don’t have a clue. His point about the voice is spot on; it’s cheaper and easier to carry and to use, and can outlive any sporting skills.

Mr Perrottet, listen to the experts. Their voices are worth hearing. – Megwenya Matthews, North Turramurra

Labour leader’s labour

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Jacinda Ardern in Labour – tell us something new (“New Zealand PM in labour with first child”, June 21). – David Reid, Artarmon

Baby’s free train ride

A train company will offer a French baby born on a train in Paris free rail travel until he is 25 (“Baby born on train to ride for free until he is 25”, June 21).

If that had happened in NSW he would have been fined for not having an Opal card. – Tony Doyle, Fairy Meadow

Mixed messages on plastic

On my way out of Woolworths yesterday, replete with cotton shopping bag and warm inner glow, I stopped by at the local chicken shop for a chicken Kiev (“Retailers ditch the plastic”, June 21). It was lovingly placed in a plastic bag, then a paper one, then I was asked whether I wanted a (plastic) carry bag. We still have a way to go. – Graham Meale, Boambee East

Optus becomes Optout

Because of its World Cup failure the embattled telco should rebrand itself “Optout” (“SBS to keep World Cup games as Optus pains deepen”, June 21). And SBS perhaps now stands for “stand-by service”. – Garth Clarke, North Sydney

Church covers up truth again

The church and the wider community desperately needs ourageous leaders like bishop Vincent Long of Parramatta (“Bishop goes out on a limb, citing the Pope”,June 21).

Obviously frustrated by a conservative force within the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference that is obstructing the release of the 1000-page Truth, Justice and Healing Council’s commissioned report, bishop Long has stepped into the spotlight.

He urges that this report, which has has been with the Australian Bishops for three months, be released immediately. Rightly or wrongly the bishops’ conference delay is creating the impression that, once again, our church leaders are trying to cover up unflattering truths to protect the name of the church.

Bishop Long, a refugee and a sexual abuse victim himself, is not going to be alone on that limb. I, too, stand there and I am sure many others will join me. – Des Connolly, Loftus

Parramatta Bishp Vincent Long Van Nguyen.

Photo: Nic Walker

I am a Catholic. I am proud of the service that my church has given and is giving to Australia in the fields of education and healthcare. I am troubled by the sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy over many years. I am more troubled by the church’s attempts to cloak these acts and prevent them from gaining the light of day.

It appears that the church is still dragging its feet in coming to terms with this scandalous episode.

The church commissioned a report on responding to the child abuse royal commission. This report was received in March this year. Its contents are being kept under wraps by the hierarchy. Why, I have no idea.

One bishop has broken ranks and called for its public release. He is the bishop of Parramatta Vincent Long Van Nguyen. As a Catholic and Australian I hope that the hierarchy sees the error of its way. – Michael Kennedy, West Pymble

Inconvenience store

While I wish David Jones success with its revamp, I don’t think that having a range of mini-stores inside the Elizabeth Street store will stop the sales slide (“Luxury concept a buoy for flagship store”, June 21).

The advantage of department stores was convenience, having all the product, say pants, in one location, side-by-side for easy comparison.

The establishment of franchised mini-stores removes this convenience as you have to stroll over multiple floors to see the whole range. I suppose $200 million will buy a nice building to wander around. – Stuart Miller, Ashfield

The greater good

John Hewson has delivered a measured and sensible commentary on the degradation of our political system (“Voters are sick of the blame game” June 21).

There has been an unhealthy shift to ideological positions at the expense of what is for the greater good of Australians. I think Hewson is right to cite the selection of future political players from a narrow pool, which does not allow for those individuals with real world experience to participate.

Democracy is about compromise and negotiation and putting personal ideological biases and the vested interests behind what is in the best interests of our nation. – Danielle Ecuyer, Bondi Junction

KPIs first, workers last

Haven’t heard the federal government jumping up and down about Telstra’s decision to axe 8000 staff (“Jobs cuts part of a wider trend: experts”, June 21). They readily got stuck into AGL and its CEO about its decision to close Liddell. Where’s the minister for work, or the PM?

Hopefully a large number of these workers will find other work, albeit part-time or casual, and will get their lives back together with minimal financial or personal stress. Decisions made by CEO’s and governments impact on people’s lives, people who worked for you or voted for you. – Jeff Russell, Belmont North

Companies keep saying that they have to make cuts in employment and maintenance “in the Interest of shareholders”. Does money really make the world go round? – Vera Yee, Waverton

What should weigh heavily on Andy Penn is his statement that he is slashing the Telstra workforce in the “long-term interests of shareholders and the company” (“Telstra lay-offs ‘weigh heavily’ on chief Penn”, June 21). How have we reached the point where a service provider looks after the company first and the customers and employees last? – Margaret Grove, Abbotsford

So the decision to cut a quarter of the Telstra workforce is weighing heavily on CEO Andy Penn. My heart bleeds for him but I guess as long as the shareholders are happy and he gets his squillion a year, job losses at the working end aren’t really a problem. – Elizabeth Kroon, Randwick

Looks like Andy Penn is well on his way to meeting his KPIs. Wonder what his bonus will be? – Lee-Ann Groblicka, Turramurra

Savings are really budget cuts

The NSW Government is seeking a 3 per cent efficiency dividend from the public service (“Premier defends budget cuts to the public service”, June 21).

Should this be before or after a 3 per cent reduction in the number of politicians and a 3 per cent reduction in parliamentary expenses of the remaining politicians? – Rob Siebert, Skennars Head

I see the government is squeezing the public service even further by increasing the level of so-called “efficiency savings”. These are more like “inefficiency savings” because they usually require diversion of scarce resources in the quest to fit within a slimmer budget. – Doug Walker, Baulkham Hills

What the government calls “efficiency savings” are nothing more than budget cuts. When salaries make up 80 per cent of an organisation’s operating costs, this means staff cuts. No spin can change that. Call it what it is. – Patrick McMahon, Beverley Park

Mind your back Malcolm

Chook shop brawls, young Liberals, ultra-conservative old Liberals, Barnaby’s Nationals (“Liberal Party acts on chook shop brawl”, June 21).

I feel sorry for Malcolm Turnbull, a potentially great leader, who is living the words once said by a Maori chief: “When you can feel the spears in your back, you know your people are behind you.”

The biggest loser is the nation. – Graeme Stewart, Double Bay

If your toilet gets clogged, your plunger is not fixing it, and your water level inside of the toilet appears low, you can sometimes fix the problem by dumping warm water into your toilet at waist level (or maybe even a little higher). If one attempt doesn’t solve the problem, you can do it again once the water level stabilizes.

If you have pipes that sound as if they’re squeaking or hammering, it’s an easy fix. Anchor any pipes that are exposed. It may be necessary to hire a professional to address noisy pipes that are located in less accessible places in your home.

TIP! Check your floors for softness around toilets, so that you can ascertain if there is any floor damage. Sit in a reversed position, putting one foot on each side of the toilet and shift your weight from side to side to check if the floor feels slightly unstable.

Septic Tank

Pump your septic tank every five years to keep it working well. Having your septic pumped will keep sediments from settling to the bottom of the septic tank and causing the tank to malfunction or backup.

If a plumbing project is in your future, know two things: what tools you have, and how you are supposed to use them. You should read the manual with any new tool you purchase. If you don’t have the manual, look online or at your local library for more information. You should do the same amount of research on the steps required for your project. Be sure to plan before starting a repair, because it can be expensive to fix mistakes.

TIP! Be sure to check your dryer and clear your lint trap of any debris. This is preventative maintenance that will prevent many problems, including fires.

Don’t use bleach tablets, odor removers or those blue tablets in your toilet. It may help to get rid of your toilet’s odors, but it will damage any rubber parts, causing your toilet to malfunction, or even break down.

TIP! If grout has gotten stuck in the line, trying to clean it out yourself is probably not the best idea. You can try to break up the grout and send it further down.

You can easily see if there are any serious damages caused by leaks by checking if the floor is soft around toilets. Straddle the toilet, so you can rock from one leg to another to determine whether there’s weakness in the floor. By noticing a problem early on, you can save yourself a bunch of money if you were to leave it alone.

TIP! If possible, try not to use drain cleaners. Drain cleaners contain very corrosive chemicals that can damage pipes if used too frequently.

Keep grease, fat and oil out of your kitchen drain. When they cool, they’ll harden and clog your drain. As an owner of a garbage disposal, this is important because the blades will stop working if they have fat on them. Make certain you dispose of all oils in other places other than the sink.

Kitchen Sink

If you have unwanted water that drains in your dishwasher, it’s probably due to the kitchen sink’s hose being improperly installed. This hose must lead uphill and downhill to prevent mixing water between the kitchen sink and the dishwasher.

TIP! If sewage is backed up in your toilet, it’s most likely the result of a sever blockage of the branch line that connects the sewage line and main line. If you can’t clear the blockage yourself, contact a professional plumber, who can insert a snake into the line to break up the blockage.
