As they discover how art influences – and is influenced by – the world around us, students grow their artistic abilities and express themselves through what they create.
NSHA's art studios are a safe and inviting space for creativity and collaboration – and a place where every student has the ability to be an artist. Dedicated, imaginative art teachers share their love of art with their students through a curriculum that highlights the important role art plays in all of our lives.
Our students study traditional and contemporary artists from around the globe to learn about artistic vision and inspiration, art history, color theory, artistic mediums, and more. As they learn and create, they develop their literacy skills, mathematical skills, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills.

In simple terms, an internet marketing safelist is a list of email addresses that belong to people who have agreed to accept mailings.
Safelist members can often find their inboxes bombarded with hundreds of emails each day. Sometimes these are from marketers who are trying to build their lists by offering downloads and other freebies, but more often than not the mailings will be from internet marketers hoping to make a sale.
As a professional Digital Marketing Agency in Cork, we can assist you build a safe email list. Contact us today.
In many ways joining an internet marketing safelist is a little like agreeing to have your inbox spammed throughout the day, but the mailings are not spam, of course, because list members have agreed to receive these mailings. Why? Because by doing so they are permitted to send their own mailings to the list.
Many safelists are free to join, but some of the—supposedly—better ones may require new users to pay a one-off membership fee. With others continued membership may require a monthly payment. In the case of lists that offer free and paid membership options paying members are usually allowed to send an increased number of mailings and/or mail to a larger number of members.
Most list members set up a dedicated (throw-away) email address to receive their safelist emails. This is a highly recommended practice. Users who sign up with their main email address will quickly regret it when a blitz of marketing emails makes their regular emails difficult to find.
Logging into a safelist and sending daily/weekly mailing is all well and good, but many safelist members empty their inboxes without reading a single email. So sending out a mailing to an internet marketing safelist that consists of many thousands of members does not guarantee many thousands of people will actually read it.
With so many members who are only interested in selling it isn't surprising that some seasoned netpreneurs consider using internet marketing safelists to be the online equivalent of flogging a dead horse. It's easy to understand how they could reach such an opinion, but some marketers can and do successfully build their lists and/or market their products to safelist members so it would be unfair to discount internet marketing safelists out of hand.

text: +Urubu Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 A small suggestion: How about an option to view TB paths in Google Maps (GM), rather than Google Earth (GE)? Could there be a [View in Google Maps] link on the TB page? Unlike GE, a GM link doesn't require any extra software download. It also opens much more quickly because there's no new program to run. This option would make the TB pages consistent with the cache pages, which now use GM. The GM view looks pretty good, because the text of the TB description is visible in the left-hand window. Here's an example. I just saved the GE version of a travel bug's path into a .kmz file and then re-opened it in GM. There might be better choices for colors, sorting, etc. but it looks nice to me.

It is almost an insult when a film with an intriguing premise turns out to be as dull as dishwater.
Hugh Jackman's days of playing superheroes are over until Disney decides to pay him eight figures to come back. For now, he is testing the waters in a film that is all about obsession with the past. The film, if it was actually smart and thought-provoking, would be a metaphor for society's obsession with dragging up slices of the past in order to cope with the mundane and depressing reality of the present.
Instead, what we receive is a weak neo-noir with a science-fiction element that the film bungles within its first 20 minutes.
When one person is listed as the writer, producer, and director of a motion picture, then there is only one person to blame for a movie's failures. Lisa Joy, who had never worked on a feature film, got the job from Warner Bros. based on her work co-creating the hit HBO show "Westworld." But success in television doesn't always translate into films.
Joy attempts to recreate as much of her "Westworld" magic as possible in a near post-apocalyptic environment. She even brings "Westworld" actress Newton to create as much familiarity as possible. Where "Reminiscence" goes wrong is trying to balance many genres and never perfecting one. The result is a film that is joyless and boring.
Veteran actors Jackman and Newton's performances are wasted in a film that doesn't even care about its own mystery. Nick is obsessed with reuniting with a woman he only knows via memories and even other characters become infuriated with Nick's quest.
In a world based on climate change, "Reminiscence" doesn't have the clean energy to keep its steam from start to finish. Director Joy stacks the deck in front of the camera, but behind it turns the film into a meaningless misfire.

The economic crisis continues to strain our city and town budgets. Layoffs, concessions, and budget cuts have become familiar words in many homes. Yet our federal government and President Obama seek to keep the wheels of the war machine grinding on at any cost. Including new wars in Libya and Somalia, our tax dollars fund bloody attacks on workers abroad instead of health care, education, housing, and jobs at home.

goPuff, Philly's own on-demand delivery company, plans massive warehouse expansion in Pa.
The company, known for its raunchy marketing, plans to open 10 warehouses across the state in the next three years.
GoPuff, the on-demand delivery company founded by two Drexel undergrads, just announced a massive expansion in Pennsylvania.
Backed by $400,000 in state money and a potential $2.5 million in city loans, it plans to open 10 warehouses across Pennsylvania over the next three years, as well as a new, 30,000-square-foot headquarters in Northern Liberties, at the former Irish bar Finnigan's Wake. The company says the expansion, which is estimated to cost $4 million, will double its workforce to create more than 500 jobs. Four hundred of those jobs will be in goPuff's warehouses.
The city has offered goPuff two kinds of loans, both administered by the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. The first is a $500,000, zero percent interest loan with terms that are based on job creation: If goPuff creates 380 full-time jobs in a five-year period, it will not have to pay the city back. The other loan is a $2 million, below-market-rate loan for real estate purchases and renovation costs. The company has accepted the $500,000 loan but is still working out terms of the $2 million loan, said city spokesperson Deana Gamble.
The expansion represents a major development for what began as an online delivery start-up for college students with the munchies. Though it still sells all manner of partying paraphernalia, from hookahs to weed grinders to beer, and has retained its raunchy marketing ("We come fast," reads one bus wrap), the five-year-old company founded by Yakir Gola and Rafael Ilishayev is now in nearly 50 markets in 21 states, employing 500. (That number does not include drivers, which goPuff declined to share.) It plans to be in 60 markets by the end of the year, said spokesperson Liz Romaine.
The company's search for a new headquarters was in part prompted by complaints from residents in Callowhill, where its current headquarters is located, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported in July. GoPuff drivers would break traffic and safety rules, as well as park in prohibited areas while making pickups from the company's warehouse, one resident alleged. The warehouse in Callowhill will remain for now but will eventually move, Romaine said.
Matt Ruben, president of the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association, said he was thrilled about the prospect of goPuff giving new life to the long-vacant Finnigan's Wake space. The company has plans to upgrade the facade of the building, which stands at a prime location on Spring Garden Street — "gateways to the south and north," he said — and goPuff will bring staffers who will patronize local businesses.
Because of its proximity to the El and Indego bike share, he's hopeful it won't significantly disrupt residential parking.
"But that's why the good Lord invented residential parking permits," he said.
GoPuff currently has five warehouses in the Philly area, including three within the city: in Manayunk, the Northeast, and Callowhill. The company determines where to open warehouses based on demand, Romaine said. Outside of Philadelphia, goPuff operates statewide in Bethlehem, State College, Pittsburgh, and, soon, West Chester.
While the online delivery landscape is crowded, goPuff sets itself apart with its speed (it promises 30-minute deliveries), its flat delivery rate ($1.95), and its array of products — all of which it stores in its own warehouses, rather than having drivers pick them up from another store. It's something of a drugstore, grocery store, and party store all in one. Competitors include Postmates, which will deliver anything to customers for a fee ranging from $1.99 to $9.99, and Amazon Prime Now, which launched in Philly earlier this year and has a $35-order minimum.

- Flashing the TWRP
Unlocking the Bootloader on Mi 10 Youth (or Mi 10 Lite Zoom)
The phone must have an unlocked bootloader in the first place to be able to install or replace the stock recovery with TWRP recovery on Mi 10 Lite Zoom.

- Once done, reboot the phone into fastboot and unlock the phone with MiFlash Unlock Tool
Flashing the TWRP on Mi 10 Lite Zoom (or Youth Edition)
- Download and extract the Mi 10 Lite Zoom TWRP zip file. There you will get recovery.img and misc.bin file.
- Download and Install the ADB and Fastboot utilities.
- Then connect the phone to the PC using a USB cable.
– On your phone, if you see such as "Allow USB debugging" then just tap on OK to proceed.
- On the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window, and execute the below command to restart your phone into fastboot mode or bootloader mode:
adb reboot bootloader– You can also enter into fastboot or bootloader mode by turning off the phone and then pressing the Power button + Volume Down button.
- As this is an A-only device, the TWRP needs to be flashed on the recovery partition. So, execute the below commands to flash the twrp and the misc.bin file:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.x-xx.img
fastboot flash misc misc.binWhile executing this command make sure to replace the twrp-3.4.x-xx.img with the actual filename of the TWRP.
- Wait for the fastboot command to finish installing the TWRP on Mi 10 Lite Zoom.

Are you a newbie vegan? The Sacramentalo Vegan Festival in Rome may be the right place for you. This vegetarian celebration has been celebrated every year since 1999 and thousands of visitors from around the world come to take part in this unique and tasty food experience.
Bean Creme
If you are looking for vegan friendly restaurant or cafe that offers healthy, fresh dishes, then you have come to the right place. This is a place that not only sells vegan products and snacks, but it also serves non-vegan foods. You will be able to find everything you need on their menu. There are hundreds of dishes to choose from. However, here are some of the most popular dishes at the festival.
First on our list is the Bean Creme. As you probably know, bean creme is a traditional Southern African dessert made from coffee beans, nuts and cream. Being that it is summer, this dish is a bit warm and goes well with a summer party. Guests are usually asked not to bring tissues because the beans get soggy really fast.
Baked Beans
Second on the list is the Baked Beans. These are like beans, but they are baked. The dish is made out of baked corn flakes, which are then deep-fried until they are golden brown. You will definitely want to try this one! The good thing about this one is that they are very cheap and plentiful around the festival.
Third on the vegan food list is a creamy pasta. This is called Fettuccine Alfredo. It has a velvety sauce that is rich and creamy, and comes from Italy. A good way to describe the taste is "pasta blended with creamy sauce". I was surprised that there was no lemon juice in this dish, but that might just be because I wasn't tasting it while standing in line.
Vegan Macaroni And Cheese
The fourth item on the vegan pasta list is the vegan macaroni and cheese. This is served with a hearty sauce of tomato and basil pesto, and comes from the Verona region of Italy. I was quite impressed with the flavor, and even though the sauce is a little heavy for my tastes, I found myself wanting to eat more of it! There are only a few ingredients, so if you are looking for a lighter option, this is it!
The fifth item I found was a delicious vegan bean soup called Bean Bag. This soup is made of kidney beans, carrots, peas, black beans, and spinach. I wasn't able to find the nutritional facts, but I'm assuming it contains the same ingredients as the bean bag, and it's definitely high in protein and iron.
The best way to stay stocked on vegan foods at your local supermarket is to keep an eye open for seasonal sales. This is especially true now that Easter is back! I also suggest looking in the produce section to see what new items are available, and trying them out in your recipes.
If you are interested in learning more about vegan food, recipes, snacks and drinks, visit my website for more detailed information. This site will also introduce you to some of the great soy based milks that are available today! In addition, I am dedicated to teaching others how they can eat dairy free, which is becoming much easier than it once was. The key to making this transition is education, and I hope that the information I provide helps you to achieve that goal.

I wouldn't feel the need to use a pen name. Wouldn't feel the need to keep my writing to myself. I would talk about it openly among family and friends rather than vaguely.
The bulk of my family is heavily religious with some of them being the judgemental kind. Many are against the LGBT community. Many are against sexual activity in general. Many are misogynistic.
To give an example, I want to go into a story.
I write under two different pen names, this one where I feel free, feel as if I can write and publish and do whatever I want, when I want, how I want. Some people give me poor reviews, but I don't read them, I don't care. People are welcome to dislike my work because I'm doing something I enjoy doing and a stranger's poor opinion isn't going to take away this little pocket of freedom I claim.
The other pen name is known to my family, friends, and world. I place my face in my profile picture, I talk about my family. Instead of only putting words out for people to see, there's me out there too and I've always been the kind to want to shy away from attention.
The first novel I published was under that pen name. A fantasy novel with a romantic subplot as most of them have, but with the focus on the fantasy world I'd built. I kept the story PG-13, similar to superhero movies that have been coming out the past ten years; younger people could read and enjoy with references only older people might understand.
Therefore, I did not have a single sex scene in this book.
So imagine my surprise when not once, but twice, I had someone in my family come up to me to tell me all about how weird it was to read a sex scene by their own family member, to the point of them doing the cringe/squeamish dance.
My reaction: "What sex scene?"
They were referring to two instances in the book: 1) I had the two leads wake up in the same bed, with one immediately leaving, no cuddling, no touching, and 2) a single paragraph somewhere else in the novel where I talk about them enjoying their time together. That was their sex scenes.
Can you imagine their reactions were I to hand them any of the books YOU may have read?
This is just one example, of course. There are other smaller examples, many that even have to do with my 'clean' pen name, that have made me over time remove family members from social media, etc. It makes me feel more capable of doing my own thing. I can go to work without family hovering over my shoulder, judging my daily successes or failures.
In fact, I've found it easier to have them think I'm not really writing at all, rather then tell them about what I'm doing.

Data input should be simple and efficient in any application for the end users. This improves usability of the app and overall user experience.
Today, we will learn how to make a rich text field expand in a modal box so that it gives more space for end users to input data.
Here is a sample app with this control:
I am breaking the design down to 2 areas :
- UI Changes
- Rich Text control logic
UI Changes
- Create basic form with labels text fields and add "Rich Text Editor" control as needed
2. Add a button(Expand) next to the HTML editor field. This will toggle the modal box on and off. You can use an icon instead of this button.
3. Now let's start creating the modal box. Add a rectangle that covers the whole screen. Set the Fill attribute and opacity as needed. In this case, I have set opacity to 0.7
4. Add Rich Text field on top of this rectangle. Add another button that will toggle the modal box on and off
5. Let's look at the visibility logic here. When the "Expand" button is pressed, we need to show the modal box and its elements.
In other words, when the Expand button is selected, Visible attribute of the modal box should be "true".
In the expanded view, when a user hits "Done", Visible attribute should be "false". This will turn off the modal box
Finally, when the application is loading, Visible attribute should be "false" so that the modal box won't appear unless the "Expand" button is clicked.
We can use a custom global variable(RTE) to configure this.
Initialize RTE Variable during Application OnStart. Set the initial value to "false".
Set the RTE value to "true" when the Expand button is clicked
Set RTE value to "false" when Done button is clicked
Visibility logic is now configured with the help of RTE variable.
6. Bind the variable to Visible attribute of modal box elements. (Update Visible attribute of RichTextEditor2, Button2 and Rectangle as RTE)
Save the app. UI part of the modal box is done.
Rich Text control logic
- When the expand button is selected, it should transfer all text from the small RichTextEditor1 field to the expanded RichTextEditor2 field.
We can add below code to the "Expand" button OnSelect action.
Set(UserRichText, RichTextEditor1.HtmlText);
Above code will assign the RichTextEditor1 field value to a global variable called UserRichText so that it can be used in the expanded view.
2. Update Default value of RichTextEditor2 with UserRichText variable.
When the modal box loads, it will take the value from the RichTextEditor1 field and load it as the default value in the RichTextEditor2 field. This will preserve the already entered text by users.
3. Finally, we need to update the RichTextEditor1 field with the text that was entered in the expanded view. For this, we can set the default value of the RichTextEditor1 as the HtmlText value of RichTextEditor2 field.
4. Save and publish. Now we can test this control. Here is a sample app created using this control.
Utilize RichText fields wherever possible to increase usability of your apps.
Happy Learning!

A Typical Chilean Day
January 6, 2017, was the Feast of the Epiphany also known as in Chile as La Pascua de los Negros (Passover of the Blacks). During colonial times this celebration was a rare opportunity for the black and mestizo slaves to celebrate.
One of my roles here is to provide support to the comedor in a shantytown just a fi ve minute walk away. A comedor is a place for people to come and share a meal donated by locals. Located in Alto Hospicio in the Atacama desert of Chile, I encounter many of the challenges faced by the families who attend the comedor. Always on the lookout for activities and events that can bring the attendees together, we decided it would be a good day for a mini-pilgrimage. The destination? La Tirana a small town located an hour inland in the heat of the desert. Dominated by a cathedral in the center, La Tirana is the site of an annual fiesta commemorating La Virgin del Carmen when this sleepy town of 1,000 attracts up to 250,000 Chileans. However, a smaller festival also occurs for La Pascua de Los Negros.
The planning began a number of weeks before the event. The day's activities, transport arrangements, food, dining facilities, toilet arrangements and more all had to be organized. Eventually we had the good luck to meet a local contact who was also planning on bringing their own group to La Tirana. The contact not only arranged two large coaches from the local municipality, but also a large area to bring our hungry and thirsty pilgrims. A day's activities were arranged including Mass in the cathedral and lunch followed by activities for the children. Monica and Jorge, two hard working parishioners had cooked and boxed nearly 100 meals with the aid of two Columban lay missionaries Lorna and Gilda.
As I arose at dawn that day I thought, "Everything is arranged, what could go wrong?" But this is Chile, and the best laid plans were soon to unwind. About 40 attendees of the comedor were participating, mostly mothers, lots of children and a few men. The plan was for the two municipality buses to collect us at 8am at a meeting point in the shantytown. Arriving at the meeting spot I was amazed to fi nd the locals arriving on time because I imagined 8:00 am to mean 9:00 am Chilean time. Not 40 but 50 people. Delighted with the response, I decided to check in at the house of our contact to see how things were going. Alas, they were nowhere to be found. I also noticed only a handful of the other group had gathered. However, a family member was on site. Slightly confused, I discovered that the contact "would not be available." And the buses? The response began, "Lo que pasa es que …" This roughly translates as "what is happening is … ."
Now let me explain. In Chile, when you ask someone about the progress of something that has been arranged previously and they begin their answer with Lo que pasa es you know there's trouble ahead. What it really means is not "what is happening" but "get ready, because what you thought was going to happen is actually not going to happen." My Spanish is far from perfect, but my heart sank before he even finished the sentence.
Inquiring about the buses, I was told the buses were in Antofagasta. Antofagasta is a city fi ve hours south of Alto Hospicio. Our transport had disappeared in some mix-up that remains unexplained. "Do we have other transport coming?" I enquired hopefully. The response was an enthusiastic yes, a "micro" (minibus) for us and a "furgon" (minivan) for you. Of course neither were coming, not withstanding the miracle that would be necessary to get 50 people into a minivan. Meanwhile Fr. Miguel had arrived and our concerned faces betrayed that all was not well to the gathered pilgrims. Fr. Miguel rushed off to try and hire a bus at short notice through a local man as I broke the news to the waiting party. "Let's just wait for a while and see," I said.
It was now 9:30 am. I wondered even if we reached La Tirana, where would we feed the people. Sitting on the dusty streets of La Tirana in 85 degree weather is not an ideal lunch venue. We were assured that despite the failure of the buses to arrive, the premises was certainly available and to reassure us, a map of its location in the town was drawn. Meanwhile I saw the crowd wandering off, and I thought they had gotten tired of waiting and decided to go home. I wouldn't have blamed them. In fact, word had gone around that the minibus hired at short notice was fi nally coming, and they were going to meet it somewhere else. After another half hour of chaos, squeezing people into the bus and available cars, we were on our way. I breathed a sigh of relief.
The plan was to meet in front of the cathedral in La Tirana and go as a group to the arranged premises for lunch. What could be more simple than that? But upon arrival in La Tirana, of course no-one met us in the square. Instead half had gone to Mass which was nearing its end, and the other half were wandering around the town. Others were looking for toilets. Eventually I hunted down Fr. Miguel and asked him to fi nd the house nearby for lunch while I tried to gather the group in the square reassuring them that they will have lunch and bathroom facilities soon.
As we say in Ireland, "It was like trying to herd cats." Fifteen minutes later Fr. Miguel returns with the news that the house was locked and nobody was answering. Surprise! Now I'm a patient man, but everyone has their limits and mine had just about been reached.
The church organization in La Tirana has a small building complex near the cathedral, but we had already been told it was booked out for that day. Immediately we rush to the administration office and Fr. Miguel pleads with one of the kindly staff, who looks sympathetically on our plight and gives us access to a dining hall. I return to the square to gather the troops, once again and breathe another sigh of relief. Now we had to get the food to the hall. Arrangements had been made to meet at a certain street to carry the food from the cars. But wouldn't you know. When we got to the meeting point, the street was crowded with people due to the religious procession with all the dancers, musicians and followers. Finally after more miscommunications and misunderstandings we found the cars and hauled the food and drinks by hand to the starving multitude.
It was now 2:00 pm and we were due to go home at 4:00 pm. After lunch and satisfied stomachs some semblance of normality returned as the children were given a guide around the cathedral, the crib and a few prayers were said. The peaceful ambience of the cathedral brought an air of calm to the days chaos. The day ended with a procession to the edge of the town where the minibus was waiting to pick us up. We finished with a group photo of the survivors. However, all was not over yet. As the minibus filled to overflowing with passengers it was obvious that there were more people on the bus going back than had come. But that's another story!
Arriving back in Alto Hospicio I breathed my fi nal sigh of relief and reflected on the day. Apart from the eight hours of organized chaos it had been a very successful outing. The Chileans have a way of going with the flow, whether that is a flood or a trickle. I had my own epiphany that day as well. Do not take anything for granted in Chile. After you organize a plan, arrange a backup plan, then arrange a backup plan for the backup plan. Then maybe you've some hope of things going according to one of the plans. But always remember, you're in Chile!

Facebook launches Audience Insights, a marketing tool offering trends around current and potential customers
Facebook today launched a new tool for marketers called Facebook Audience Insights, available within Ads Manager for all US marketers today and rolling out globally "in the coming months." As its name implies, the tool lets advertisers gather customer insights about their target audiences.
The idea is to give marketers trends about their current or potential customers across Facebook, allowing them to tailor their marketing messages based on what the tool surfaces. The tool gives insights about users in the following categories:
- Demographics: Age and gender, lifestyle, education, relationship status, job role, and household size.
- Page Likes: The top Pages people like in different categories, like women's apparel or sports.
- Location and Language: Where people live and the languages they speak.
- Facebook Usage: How frequently people in the target audience login to Facebook and which devices they use.
- Purchase Activity: Past purchase behavior and methods (online vs offline).
This information can be viewed for three different segments of people: the general Facebook audience, people connected to a particular Page or event, and a marketer's current customers (created using Custom Audiences). Facebook promises these insights are surfaced in a way that ensures that private information about people is secure.
This might sound to some like Page Insights, but Facebook explains Audience Insights is different as it looks at trends across the social network. Page Insights looks at interactions on a given Page (likes, comments, shares, and so on).
Facebook offers an example of how the tool can be used: a women's luxury fashion brand wants to raise awareness for the products it sells in-store. A marketer can use Audience Insights to find how many people on Facebook live near these stores, as well as their interests, their past purchase behavior, and how they tend to shop (online vs. offline).

I'm back with some solar powered up-cycling inspiration in lovely hues of rust and blue. Spring is finally here in the northern hemisphere and if you're like me you've craving some crisp, clean, and refreshing air. Today I've compiled examples of three low-cost techniques that will give you the perfect excuse to get out and soak up that sunshine. I'll be sharing my adventures with textile printing under the sun with the help of a touch of rust, a tad of bleach, and the magic of Cyanotype solutions.
Rust prints, bleached denim and cyanotype prints are all on today's menu. Served with a side of old textiles. Think hand-me down linens, your grandmother's hankies, jeans that no longer fit, and cotton or bamboo sheets. For these three techniques almost any fabric goes as long as it's natural. (No synthetics allowed!)
But before we start, let's talk a little bit about upcycling vintage textiles. Old table and bed linens, quilts, hankies, laces, and such are pretty easy to find and for the most part relatively inexpensive. You can find them in thrift stores, tag sales, church rummage sales, eBay, Etsy and in the place you should look first - your Grandmother's dresser drawers. Here's a few tips on what to/not to bring home and how to prepare your textiles for printing:
- If it costs more than a few bucks or is something with sentimental value, I leave it for a collector. I'm not interested in upcycling anything of real value. I want to have fun with my projects and to allow myself the luxury of messing it up. I never want to feel guilty about cutting up the hand tatted table linen that my great grandmother made to give to my grandmother on her wedding day. On the other hand, I do like the feeling of breathing new life into a piece that I find at Goodwill that is made with someone's loving hands. I believe that a piece with such a history can make my work richer, especially if I'm repurposing something that someone's heir destined to be of no value to them.
- If the price is right I won't hesitate to bring home textiles that are stained and/or dirty. This doesn't scare me off since I can usually either work the stain into my design or cut around it. However, I will always leave the fabric on the shelf if it has multiple rips, tears, or slits as these can be signs of dry rot, a condition that is irreversible. Dry rot can infect a piece of fabric if it is exposed to moisture for a period of time without being able to properly dry. Eventually a microscopic fungus develops which weakens the fibers and makes the fabric brittle as it sadly continues on its journey to become, as Kansas lamented, "Dust in the Wind".
- When I do bring vintage textiles and laces home I follow this process to clean and brighten them. (Note: Delicate fabrics should be treated gently through out the entire process.)
- Fill a tub or sink with enough cold water to cover the fabric. Submerge and gently swish the fabric around in it. Drain the dirty water and repeat this process until the water is no longer a strong brown or yellow color.
- Refill the sink with really hot water and dissolve a scoop of Oxiclean Odor Blaster detergent in it, (cold water would cause the detergent to clump). Gently swish the fabric through it and then let soak for an hour or so. Drain and repeat until the water is clear.
- Rinse the fabric under running water until all of the detergent is gone. Roll the fabric in a thick towel to blot out as much moisture as possible. Hang outside to dry.
Project #1 - Rusted Fabric
Two summers ago I ventured down the path of rusting fabric. I joke that's it's my "Gateway Drug" as you'll soon see that sun harnessed prints have become somewhat of an addiction for me. Rust printing is a really low cost technique. In fact, you probably have everything you need to make a great print or two right now with things you already have in your kitchen and garage.
My Rust Goddess is my absolute favorite rust print. She was made with an old rusty trivet imprinted on a vintage linen table runner.
- Gloves and an apron, (you should always wear gloves when handling rust),
- Recycled plastic store bags to protect your work surface and to steam your rusty bundle under the sun,
- Rusty bits, (nails, screws, drill bits, graters, tools, etc... raid your basement, scour your garage, look down when you walk to find all of the discarded rusty goodness - the flatter the better),
- Cotton or other natural fabric, (I've not tried this yet with wool, but I don't see any reason not to),
- String to tie up your rusty bundle of goodness,
- Spray bottle (instead of buying one new, consider recycling and a spray bottle from another product - I used an old eyeglass cleaner spray bottle),
- White Vinegar,
- Table Salt,
- Tub or bowl of water.
Rust Printing Process:
- I like to do this outside on a table covered with a deconstructed cardboard box followed by a layer of plastic bags.
- Soak natural fiber fabrics a few minutes in white vinegar. Wring out excess.
- Fill a spray bottle with 50% vinegar and 50% water.
- Lie the fabric flat on the table with the front facing up.
- Put on your gloves. Place rusty objects out on the dampened cloth. Spray the metal items with more white vinegar.
- Roll the cloth into a tight bundle and secure with string. The better the contact between the cloth and the object, the stronger your print will be. If your bundle appears dry then respray with the vinegar.
- Place your rusty bundle into a sealed plastic bag and set it in the sun to "steam and bake" until you're satisfied with the rust you see. (This could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending of the amount of rust in the bundle and the strength of the sun.)
- Check your bundle a few time a day. Spritz the rust bundle with the vinegar solution if it becomes dry. I check my bundles every morning and every afternoon when I got home from work.
- When you're happy with the rust, put on your gloves and unroll the bundle. Set the rusty bits aside to use another day. (I store them in plastic zip lock bags so they don't contaminate my other working tools that I would cry if they became rusty.)
The light blue rusted fabric in the image below is a piece of an old sheet made from bamboo fibers. The lettering on the left is an impression from the top of an old soap tin imprinted on muslin. The rectangular section in the middle of the photo was made with old metal lamp banding.
- Rinse the fabric in a bowl of salt water. This will stop the rusting process and keep the rust from eventually burning a hole through the fabric.
- Hang your rusted fabric out in the sun to dry and enjoy!
I've stitch on my rust prints, stenciled over them in art journal pages, and incorporated them into collages. If you'd like to see another of my rust print adventures, check out this oldie but goodie StencilGirl® post about making this Rusty, Waxed Apple Bag.
Project #2 - Bleached Denim
Onto the blues...... Which is in no way indicative of my mood :) My favorite color has always been blue so I flock to it.
This project was a joyous celebration for me. I had gained a LOT of weight over the course of the pandemic last summer. So much weight that my jeans grew two sizes... Last August I decided it was time to get my own curve under control. I'm proud to say that I succeeded and am now 5 pounds less than when the pandemic started and still going. I celebrated by ripping up my pandemic jeans and using the fabric for bleach printing. Alas, it was a complete failure. After doing some research I finally figured out that because by jeans were only 97% cotton, they would not bleach. (Who knew, 97% wasn't good enough....) But my failure didn't stop me from conquering this technique. I picked up a pair of 100% cotton jeans at the thrift store for $3.99 and started again.
Supplies You Will Need:
- I recommend wearing gloves and an apron for this project and that you work in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors in the sunshine, (bleach can really wreck havoc on your hands and clothing).
- 100% cotton denim - Tip: Head to the men's section of the thrift store to find 100% cotton denim. Look for Levi's and Wrangler brands as there is a good chance they will fit the bill. Men's jeans tend to cost less and as a bonus you'll probably end up with more fabric to work with.
- Piece of cardboard of other stiff substrate covered with a recycled plastic store bag.
- Repositionable Tacky Spray, (I used Aleen's).
- StencilGirl® Stencils (I used The Pomegranate Seeds Grape Apple Flower Mask by Valerie Sjodin)
- Deli paper,
- Bull clips, rocks, or other items to hold the denim flat as it dries.
- Spray Bottle filled with bleach.
Bleached Denim Process:
- Place a piece of denim face up on a flat substrate covered with a plastic bag.
- Spray the back of the stencil with a tacky spray. Wait one minute.
- Press the stencil tacky side down onto the denim. Place a piece of deli paper over the stencil and burnish it down with your fingers to ensure good contact between the denim and the stencil. Remove the deli paper.
- Spray the surface with the bleach.
- Use bull clips, rocks or other item to hold the denim in place while it dries.
- Leave the denim out to dry in the sun for a few hours until you are satisfied with the amount of fading.
- Wearing gloves, remove the stencil. Set it aside to rinse when you have a free minute.
- Run cold water over the denim to rinse out all of the bleach and halt the bleaching process.
- Hang the denim out to dry, admire your work and enjoy!
For my design, I cut a circle out of wax paper, sprayed it with adhesive and stuck it on the denim before I laid down the stencil This created a masked area in the center of my design that I plan to stitch on later. Note that the bleach can yellow the denim a bit before it's rinsed.
Bonus technique: While you've got the bleach out, cover some old book pages with a stencil and spritzer them with the bleach. Use stones to weigh the pages down while they dry in the sun and you'll be rewarded with some beautiful neutral designs that makes for great collage fodder. (Uncoated cotton rag pages work best for this technique.)
Technique #3 - Cyanotype Sun Prints
My final and favorite sun powered exploit is into the world of fabric Cyanotypes. I am head over heals in love with the range of blues that can be had combined with the gorgeous edges of vintage linens. I'll start this section with a few tips I learned while creating cyanotypes with fabrics and stencils.
- You don't need to stick to neutral colored fabrics. I used a vintage quilt block as the base for this cyanotype. The five circular designs are stencils from my Crest Stencil. I loved the vintage blue and white squares of the original quilt next to the cyanotype crests.
- Don't be afraid to cut up your stencils to make them yours. I used a craft knife to free my Four Bells Stencil and my Trivet Due Stencil from their bonds to create the focal point of this layered cyanotype on a damask, (or raised woven pattern) vintage napkin.
- Go ahead and mix your stencils with real plant material. Pictured below left to right and clockwise is my Ginger Jar stencil , my Central Grid Trivet Stencil, and my Four Bells Trivet Stencil mixes with dried flowers and leaves. The small trivet stencils make for great planters/vases.
- Having a range of blues makes for even better collage fodder. You can lighten your cyanotypes and create different shades of blues, greens and yellows by toning them in a bath of soda ash.
- Expect the unexpected. This print bleached out much faster in the soda ash bath than I had anticipated. But I 've come to love it and think that it will make for a great background in my art journal. I used three stencils for this one: the Jardiniere Stencil, the Four Fountains Trivet Stencil, and the 9X12 from the December 202 Block Prints Stencil Club Set.
The Cyanotype Process
Since this post is getting rather long, I'm going to refer you to an artist who is much more experienced in Cyanotype printing than I. Shari Replogle recently did a video tutorial guest post for StencilGirl® Talk entitled Printing Botanical Cyanotypes on Silk. Her tutorial is captivating, excellent and I highly recommend it. I used her process as the starting point for my cyanotype prints. And if you find yourself hooked like I did, check out Shari's inspirational online Cyanotypes, the Magic of Alternative Photography workshop.
I did however take some pics of my adventures for you to give you a flavor of the process.
I cut my stencil out of its frame and used it as a vase in my composition. If you're wondering why the stencil is black, I painted it will black gesso to ensure that the light would not penetrate through it.
It was a cloudy day so the print took a few hours to develop. After three water baths and waiting 24 hours for it to fully oxidized this was the result.
I couldn't resist combining the plant from Rae Missigman's Botanical Wildflower stencil with myJardiniere Stencil and the flower from my Crests Stencil set. It seemed like such a natural. I laid the composition on a napkin treated with the cyanotype solution.
A cyanotype goes through many color changes before it turns to that beautiful blue print blue. The background starts out yellow before being set in the sun to develop.
After about 2 minutes under the sun the background turned green.
And no post of mine would be complete without at least one finished product. I used the print as the centerpiece of this collage and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Many thanks to Shari Replogle for reigniting my love of cyanotype sun prints. I recently took her online Cyanotype, the Magic of Alternative Photography Workshop and was truly blown away with all of the techniques. She took the art so much farther than I ever dreamed existed.
And thank you all for hanging with me through this long post. I hope I've inspired you to get out there and soak up the sun.
Hugs until next time, Jill

Today we decided to have breakfast at 7th Star in Abu Tig marina in El Gouna, Egypt, on the Red Sea.
We took the buses, instead of walking. The Marina Line leg of the journey always stops at the Sheraton Miramar. Some guy had to get off to take a leak, so I took some snaps as we waited and chatted with the driver in Arabic.
After arriving at the Marina we bought a tee at Three Corners for a friend of Erin's called River.
Then we had breakfee at 7th star with the Babas, the sparrows, and a Gezira Club crow.
We took the bus back and decided to customize River's tee.
So we went to San Bola in downtown Gouna.
We worked with a really nice guy called Henry who used a computer hooked up to a stitching machine to add the words RED SEA EGYPT under the dolphins on River's tee.
It came out so nice that we got carried away. I bought myself a black tee, and had the word GOUNAMAN stitched in; Erin bought a blue golf shirt, and customized hers by adding a red Gouna starfish, EL GOUNA, and RED SEA EGYPT in white lettering, as opposed to River's neon blue colors.
All Made in Egypt, using 100% Egyptian cotton. Tah'ya Masr!

10 gorgeous books you should totally judge by their covers
The old saying "don't judge a book by its cover" is definitely true in life. Appearances, surface traits, all that stuff is not a good measure of what a person or situation really is like. But ironically, when it comes to books, I've found that really good book covers promise really good reading and it they're even more important in the digital age. These covers are so pretty, you want them in your hands (even if it's just for a really good Instagram).
While there are so many beautiful books out there, here are 10 of our favorites that are as great to read as they are to look at:
1. The Vacationers, by Emma Straub
Summery and light, this book is perfect for those lazy vacation days.

Check This Out… Patoranking was a Street Hawker, Timaya a plantain seller, Wizkid A hustler(Ojuelegba). But some Musician as Seen below had a good foundation for their start.
Ozzy Bosco
Naeto c
Naeto C is from Owerri in the Igbo Nation. Born to former Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland, Doctor Mrs. Kema Chikwe and Chief Herbert Chikwe. He spent his early years in that city, in a household very influenced by music. His fondness for music grew fast and was articulated into other creative art forms, most specifically poetry, which took him to various competitions and earned him accolades as a young poet. His family also gave him everything he needed for his development as a musician.

In my opinion, Alexandra feels sorry for Atticus because he is the only character in the town with the guts to do the moral right whenever it is in his power to act. She makes some pretty powerful comments about what the town expects of him... essentially she wonders when it is going to be enough. He is currently doing the right thing on behalf of Tom in wanting to appeal because the trial was unfair, but when this "accident" happens to Tom, she wonders if it is really all worth it. She feels sorry for the fact that people don't follow Atticus' lead and it is hard to be a minority when it comes to morality.
The only support he has is unspoken. He has the support of Judge Taylor, Maudie, and Heck Tate. But these folks expect him to be the voice of right.
Although it seems at times that Atticus has little support in the community, Miss Maudie assures both Scout and Alexandra that he has more friends than they realize. Maudie tells Alexandra that
"... whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying him the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It's that simple."
The "we" Maudie means are the small but mostly silent members of the community who believe in fairness and judicial honesty.
"The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked White Only; the handful of people who say a fair trial is for everybody, not just us... The handful of people in this town with background, that's who they are."
Some of those people included Sheriff Heck Tate, Link Deas, Mr. Avery and Dr. Reynolds, who were all present the afternoon they visited Atticus on his lawn to warn them of possible hostile interference when Tom was moved to the jail.
Aunt Alexandra feels sorry for her brother Atticus at the end of the chapter. That is when he has to go and tell Mrs. Robinson that her husband has been shot to death by the guards at the prison. Basically, she feels bad because he, alone among the people of the town, is trying to do the right thing with regards to race.
When it comes to that, I would think that the only real support Atticus has is his two kids. Alexandra loves him but does not really agree with his views on black people. Calpurnia probably cannot be much of an emotional support to her white boss. So all he is really left with is the kids.

text: On Thursday, Forms 4, 5 and 6 went to Swords Ice rink. After a short journey we were greeted by the cold marquee and it was time to get our skates on. Forms 5 and 6 had been before but for many in Form 4 it was their first time skating; ever! They did a brilliant job and were surprisingly well balanced and composed on the ice. Some of the ice skating veterans, from the older classes, were whizzing around like Olympic speed skaters and helping out others. We all had such a fantastic day and it seemed to fly by. We cannot wait for next year!

If you're looking for more ways to spread content and extend it's reach, then Google News is worth a look. How does a small business use Google News to spread its content? By becoming a Google News publisher of course.
Before we jump into that topic however, let's take a quick look at what Google News is and why you'd want to become a Google News publisher.
What is Google News?
Google News has been around in one form or another since 2002. Its mission is simple:
"Google News is a computer-generated news service that aggregates headlines from more than 50,000 news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together, and displays them according to each reader's interests."
In other words, Google News wants to be your one-stop-shop for all the personalized news and information you need. There's not much new in doing so however, two factors make this service stand apart:
- Personalization: Google News learns your preferences both explicitly (through their personalization center) and implicitly (based on topics you read most often); and
- Automation: a human does not pick the news displayed on Google News – the entire process is computer-run based on the complex algorithms that the company is known for.
Here's a look at the front page of Google News:
Why Become a Google News Publisher?
The two factors that make Google News stand apart also make the service a handy spot to publish your content:
- Automation: once everything's set up, Google News automatically collects and uses your published content; and
- Personalization: Google News will present your content to the folks who are most interested in reading it. You know: the people you're trying to reach with your online content in the first place. That's powerful stuff.
How to Become a Google News Publisher
So, how do you get your content included in Google News? Their publisher help center lays out the details fairly well, but here's the quick and dirty:
Step 1: Make Sure Your Site Meets Google's Webmaster Guidelines
To be included in Google News, your website needs to meet the company's Webmaster Guidelines. These guidelines were put in place for two reasons:
- To help assure that Google Search can index your site cleanly meaning that it knows what type of content is on each page; and
- To prevent site owners from using underhanded methods to promote their site.
Aside from making your site Google News ready, there's an additional benefit to following these guidelines: compliant sites will also rank higher in Google Search results.
Step 2: Produce the Right Type of Content
Google News focuses on, "timely reporting that's important or interesting to our audience." This means that how-to or advice articles will not make the cut.
If your site contains both types of articles (e.g. reporting vs. how-to), Google News provides some recommendations for differentiating them.
Step 3: Produce Quality Content
When creating content for Google News, they ask that you follow some basic guidelines including journalistic standards, accountability, authority and readability. Failure to do so may result in your content's removal.
Step 4: Submit Your Site For Approval
Once you've taken care of steps 1-3, it's time to submit your site for inclusion in Google News.
This is done through the Google News Publishing Center. As you can see below, submitting your site is as easy as clicking a button:
Getting the Most Out of Google News
Here are some ways to boost the effect of your inclusion within Google News:
Editor Picks
Highlight your best content by submitting a special feed to Google News. Links to this content will appear on the ride side of a newsreader's page where they can click through the different offerings:
Note that you can also submit section-specific feeds to the editors as well.
Highlight Standout Content
If you break a hot news story or produce one that's outstanding in quality and depth, you can tag the piece with the "Standout" tag. This will highlight that piece when folks are reading their news.
Include Links to Your Site's Mobile Apps
If your site offers mobile apps, you can submit them to Google News for approval. If accepted, they will be shown in the right context:
When you're looking for more ways to extend the reach of your online content, then take a look at Google News.
If you do however, be prepared to meet Google's standards, not only technically, but as a journalist as well.
Up for the challenge? The rewards will be more online attention, more site traffic and a huge boost in credibility. These are all results that will help your small business.

Some ideas are best left in the past. Others, I come back to them and think: you know what, this holds up. In the latter group I place Land of Liberty, the amusement park. I'm not Elon Musk, and so I don't have the billion dollars of startup that this would take. I also don't know any Elon Musks. But I'm not even sure this is really an action item; it might make more sense as a background in a movie or just a TV episode. I'm just going to leave this idea right here, for future reference (and copyright).
This amusement park would be built as a "scale model" of the 48 contiguous states, scaled so that a bird's-eye view of the park would look like the familiar shape, you know, this
and would be about the size of Disneyland or equivalent amusement parks. The trick is getting the right type and amount of rides, placed in their appropriate geographical locations. I haven't yet decided what to do with Alaska, Hawaii, or for that matter Alabama. Rough-draft list of attractions (subject to change with or without notice):
SEATTLE SWING: Swing chair ride based upon the famous Space Needle. Should see Pike Place Market, Seattle Superdome, etc.
CABLE CAR CRUNCH: Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like a cable car, then "ride" the more famous sights of San Francisco, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, Coit Tower, and Alcatraz.
L.A. FREEWAY (roller coaster): Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like a sports car, and "ride" around Los Angeles at something like breakneck speed, cutting off other drivers, sailing through red lights. With requisite visions of Hollywood sign, Mann's Chinese Theater, Santa Monica pier sign, etc.
SAN DIEGO PETTING ZOO: Optional, but we may need something for the little kids around here.
MINI-VEGAS MINI-STRIP: At risk of/enjoying being a simulacrum of a simulacrum of a simulacrum, the idea would be to turn a simple street into a Potemkin village of facades that resemble each of the big casinos (e.g. Bellagio, Aria, Luxor, Caesar's Palace), and make each of those facades somehow casino-esque: slot machines, betting tables, even pinball. These would be kid-friendly, perhaps with park tokens.
COLORADO RIVER RUN: Raft should be round, with rubber bottom (like Disney's Grizzly River Run/Kali River Rapids rides). Starting in "Colorado," sailing past Mesa Verde and Four Corners, and spending second half in simulation model of Grand Canyon. Finish near Hoover Dam, mini-Vegas.
CARLS-KID CAVERNS: Fun caves for kids, with superficial resemblance to the real life reference.
LONE STAR STAGECOACH: Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like a stagecoach, and "ride" around old and new Texas, e.g. cattle drives, the Alamo, downtown Dallas and Houston.
BAYOU BIG SPIN: Somewhat audaciously, this would be four or five Ferris wheels stacked next to each other, and next to a riverboat model, to look like a jumbo-sized "Mark Twain"-like riverboat. Nearby visions of Bourbon Street, jazz greats.
OLD FAITHFUL FREE FALL: Pretty much what it sounds like, though done in the newer style where the car of passengers goes up and down the "geyser" a few times. Queue should have visions of Yellowstone, pools of lava.
KID RUSHMORE: Mount Rushmore tricked out to be diaphanous (you can see through it) and made into a kids paradise, with slides off Presidents' noses, a bouncy castle in one head, a plastic ball pit in another head, foam-er versions of former Presidents (get it?) in another head, like that.
COUNTRY FAIR: Somewhere around Iowa/Missouri, the traditional country fair: series of booths featuring cotton candy, hot dogs, popcorn, "3 for a dollar" games, et cetera. Booths should showcase nearby states that may not otherwise be represented all that well (e.g. Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota). Part of this would be…
ST. LOUIS ARCH SPIN: Standard "round-up" ride where 30-40 persons stand on a large circle which, in this case, climbs up, spinning, into a model of the St. Louis Arch.
KENTUCKY CAROUSEL: Tricked out to look like the Kentucky Derby.
INDY 500 KIDWAY: Kids get to ride in cars that look like the famous race cars, somewhat like Disney's Autopia, though centered around one NASCAR-like track.
CHICAGO'S THE LOOP (roller coaster): Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like a Chicago subway, and "ride" around Chicago, incuding at least one loop-de-loop, to justify the name (to people who don't know that "The Loop" is Chicago's subway).
DETROIT CLASSIC CARS: Low-key ride where kids/parents ride around in cars designed as simulations of classic Cadillacs, Thunderbirds, etc.
GREAT LAKES GREAT LOGS: The standard/required log ride, in this case making a big deal out of falling out of Niagara Falls (simulated, of course).
BOSTON BUMPERS: The bumper car attraction, though updated with at least triple the usual amount of bumper cars, and including many Boston street names/monuments on conspicuous display.
THE NEW YORKER (roller coaster): Should be the most elaborate, intense roller coaster at the park. Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like a New York subway, and "ride" around New York (not so unlike the ride at New York New York in real Vegas, but better), with notable integration of the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center/Times Square, etc. Perhaps one portion gets "wooden" and rickety (as a fake) as we enter, then leave, Coney Island.
A PHILADELPHIA FOUNDING: This would be something new: you sit in an audience and it takes you through several rooms, a bit like the old America Sings, but in this case holograms of our founding fathers walk around you and argue and get things done. Starts with the Declaration of Independence, then the Articles of Confederation, then the Constitution, then Hamilton/Jefferson/Washington fight over Assumption, then the Whiskey Rebellion, then the rise of parties/election of 1800. At exit, people can pose with/ring the cracked Liberty Bell.
WASHINGTON WHIPLASH (roller coaster): Board a standard-sized attraction car (holding 6-8 people) tricked out to look like the Lincoln Memorial; start by ascending the Washington Monument and do a Free Fall from it, which catches you at the last moment and lets you "ride" around the White House, Congress, other notables.
CAPE CANAVERAL VOYAGE: This would be done something like Star Tours/Spider-Man (Universal Studios), with an audience in a "movie" that's almost a flight simulator. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 liftoff, and we can see Florida behind us, and then a ride through space, and then something goes wrong, requiring an "emergency" re-entry and landing in Florida again.

Note arrived from brother accompanied by this 'photo'
How come If mum was Irish and we never lived in Yorkshire, she put this on the tea table?
Actually she added sliced tomatoes as well but I've no idea why she put onions, cucumber and tomato into a marinade of vinegar then served it along with cold cuts.
All I know is I disliked it then and still do……like my salads clean – naked – no dressing at all.
Vinegar goes on Fish and Chips 😊

Is it truly a Yorkshire dish?

In the world of virtual dating, it can be hard to think of ideas to go beyond 'hey' or 'hello', but nothing beats the chemistry of a good conversation to calm the nerves! Your first (virtual) date should be lighthearted and a two-way street. The easiest way to do so is to ask questions that matter to you and check your partner's interest in the same. All in all, don't be afraid to be yourself, after all the aim is to find someone as like-minded (or goofy) as you are.
Having introduced people to their love stories for over two decades from all around the world, dating app OkCupid lists down conversation starters that will get you and your date talking!
'What's something that you really want to do?'
Being able to uninhibitedly discuss your dreams, goals, and desires on a first date can be a terrific approach to get to know someone better. Your goals don't have to be strictly professional-sharing what you'd like to achieve, whether it's learning to play the guitar or mastering Italian cooking, might help your date gain a better understanding of your life and priorities. Break the ice with your partner and ask what they seek from their life and what they truly wish for. In fact, 34 per cent of daters on the platform find questions around the partners' goals, plans and wishes a good conversation starter.
'What's next on your watchlist?'
There's no shortage of streaming services or access to movies, shows, or literature in today's world. With this in mind, discussing TV shows you're watching, recommending must-see movies, and telling your match more about your all-time favourite novels can help keep the conversation flowing while you and your date learn more about each other's personalities and favourite characters. And who knows, this might even lead the way for a virtual movie date or book reading session!
'What do you want from a relationship?'
When seeking a long-term relationship, it's important to know if the person across the screen is looking for the same thing. Twenty per cent of the daters revealed that learning about their partner's perspectives and what they seek from a relationship is an intriguing conversation starter. This can stem from the fact that dating has changed phenomenally during the pandemic, and millennials have discovered an impatience with entertaining dead-end connections and instead truly investing in the one with potential. The focus has shifted to discovering romance and compatibility with a potential partner through the quality of conversation and time spent together.
'What's next on your travel bucket list?'
Travel! The perfect conversation starter to break the ice and transport your date into a dreamy world where you could go wherever you want to — soaking under the sun by a beach, backpacking across the country, or watching the Northern lights. Travel will open the door to a multitude of other topics such as food, cuisines that your partner is fond of, places that they've been to already or what's on their wishlist. And this just might help you and your date decide where to get a bite in the city or try something that you wouldn't have otherwise!

Rojas, Nicolas, Elara Mohan, Rajesh and Sosa, Ricardo (2013) Reconfiguration in linkages by variable allocation of joint positions: a modular design approach. In: 3rd IFToMM International Symposium on Robotics and Mechatronics (ISRM), 2 to 4 October 2013, Singapore.Full text not available from this repository.
By properly reallocating the joint positions of pin-jointed planar linkages, all types of reconfiguration characteristics, excepting the change of contact constraints in kinematic pairs, can be obtained. Given the simplicity of this fact, a modular design approach, a general principle of decomposing products into components, is proposed in this work for the assembly of reconfigurable linkages from scratch. The suggested modular component can be modeled as a binary link of variable length, a revolute-prismatic-revolute kinematic chain with an actuated slider joint. The proposed module is discussed and some preliminary results of its design and implementation are shown. A description of some of the applications in reconfiguration of this modular concept, including the design of linkages with changing number of links, variable mobility, and varying geometry, is presented.

Summer is over. The solstice and Jewish New Year are passing. For many of us, it is a time of reflection and re-beginnings. Unlike the "January 1st" New Year, I start mine off in prayers. Many spent this past month reflecting on the year just ending. What we did and what can we do better?
All of us have done things we are sorry for. Next we will begin our prayers asking for forgiveness of what we have done to others that we have not been able to apologize in person for and we will proclaim that we forgive anyone who has wronged us.
These are not supposed to be empty words. It is said that we cannot atone for our sins if we do not forgive those who have wronged us.
So, here and now, I apologize to anyone whom I have hurt with words or deeds that I have not personally apologized for and more than that, I forgive anyone who has wronged me with words or deeds. May we enter a new period free of these burdens.
I believe that we can all do this. You don't have to be Jewish to do this. You don't have to spend hours in a synagogue to accomplish this. You can make a decision to have a new beginning right now. Take advantage of the Solstice. Use it as an opportunity for change.
Every time we strive to do better, even if it is short lived, we do become a better person. We see the possibilities; we may even realize some of them.
In a Wiccan circle, we welcome in the four directions, North – South – East – West. With each direction, we welcome in the possibilities that that direction offers us. We can learn a lot from this. If we welcome into our lives the possibilities of different people and what they bring – the four corners of the earth – our lives will be enriched. Think about it. If we open ourselves up to each other and The Other, we can form bonds instead of fear. We can learn about how each of us aspires to be our best, how we can witness the best in each other.
There are those who would keep us afraid of each other, afraid of our differences, afraid of what we do not know. We must not allow them to win. We must reach out to each other, cross the aisles, march together, protest together, celebrate together.
Whether you celebrate the solstice, the Jewish New Year, or the beginning of the rest of your life, I offer the following to you…
May you all be blessed with a new year of renewed strength, renewed curiosity, and renewed spirit to continue the work that each of you do. May this be a year of health, happiness, and joy.

The Coronavirus pandemic has forced many companies to change how they do business. Many businesses have shifted operations to a full or partial remote work environment with employees accessing company resources and systems from home. In some cases, standard policies have been relaxed to allow staff to use personal computers, phones, and other devices while telecommuting.
Now, as states begin to relax shelter-in-place restrictions and business owners plan to reopen their offices, it's time to assess such changes to create an effective technology plan.
When preparing for the restart phase, it's important to reassess the technology that was used while working remotely and determine if and how it should be permanently integrated into an office environment. Interim solutions may be necessary to ease the transition as temporary solutions are disbanded. Key questions to ask yourself are:
- What infrastructure and technology changes will be required to support the transition?
- How should the company handle returned assets and repurpose computer equipment that was issued for working from home? It may make sense for employees to keep the devices at home in case another wave of illness spreads.
- Will the business continue to support and pay for tools and licenses for all employees to access resources remotely? (i.e. VPN, collaboration software, Office 365, etc.)
- How will the company manage the backup and retention of data before sanitizing devices? This is particularly important for privileged and protected information on work-from-home devices that may be subject to compliance and privacy regulations. Note: Ensure the backups are tested to ensure they work!
If you need guidance through this evaluation process, call us at 914-934-9775 or email us at email@example.com. As an IT Managed Service Provider, we have the necessary tools and experience to transition your business from remote to on-site operations. We will take the time to understand your needs and concerns before expertly implementing all the necessary technical work to seamlessly transition your staff back to the office.

During the October Dawson County Board of Education meeting, the board took time to recognize the school nurses of the local school system.
"What would we do without our school nurses? I remember a time when we didn't have school nurses, but this day and time is very different. The services these folks provide for our students is unmatched," said Superintendent Damon Gibbs.
The nurses in each of the schools in Dawson County provide health services that include vision, dental, hearing and scoliosis screenings. They also administer daily medications, free flu vaccines and educational programs.
Dawson County Schools Lead School Nurse Jeannie Edwards, who was named Administrator of the Year by the Georgia Association of School Nurses in 2015, talked about the nurses from each of the schools in Dawson County and their daily impact on students.
"I am particularly proud of our nurses. They have the biggest hearts," Edwards said. "They are also very skilled. We do have the best school nurse program in the state of Georgia."
Edwards cited many chronic health conditions of students, including 15 insulin-dependent diabetics, who the nurses take care of every day that they are in school.
"The nurses assist them on a daily basis so that these kids can take care of these conditions and go back to class and be healthy and ready to learn," she said.
Chief Human Resources Officer Lisa Perry read a resolution to honor the nurses.
