Judy (1936 – 17 February 1950) was a ship's dog on board HMS Gnat and HMS Grasshopper stationed on the Yangtze before and during World War II. She proved able to hear incoming aircraft, providing the crew with an early warning. After part of the crew transferred from the Gnat to the Grasshopper in June 1939 the ship was sent to Singapore after the British declaration of war on Germany. There she was on board the ship during the Battle of Singapore, which saw Grasshopper evacuate for the Dutch East Indies. It was sunk en route, and Judy was nearly killed having been trapped by a falling row of lockers. She was rescued when a crewman returned to the stricken vessel looking for supplies.
On the deserted island with the surviving crew, Judy managed to find a fresh water source saving them all. They made their way to Singkep in the Dutch East Indies and afterwards to Sumatra aiming to link up with the evacuating British forces. After trekking across 200 miles of jungle for five weeks, during which Judy survived an attack from a crocodile, the crew arrived a day after the final vessel had left and subsequently became prisoners of war of the Japanese. She was eventually smuggled into the Medan camp, where she met Leading Aircraftsman Frank Williams for the first time, who she would go on to spend the rest of her life with. Williams convinced the camp Commandant to register her as an official prisoner of war, with the number '81A Gloergoer, Medan'. She was the only dog to be registered as a prisoner of war during the Second World War.[1]
She moved around several more camps, and survived the sinking of the transport ship SS Van Warwyck where in the aftermath she saved several passengers from drowning. Les Searle from the Grasshopper smuggled her once again into the next camp, where she was reunited with Frank Williams. After the end of the war, Judy's life was put in danger once again. She was about to be put to death by the Japanese guards following a lice outbreak amongst the prisoners. However, Williams hid the dog until the Allied forces arrived. Searle, Williams and others smuggled Judy back to the UK aboard a troopship and she spent the next six months in quarantine after arriving. She was awarded the Dickin Medal by the PDSA,[2] considered to be the animals' Victoria Cross.[3] Judy died in 1950 in Tanzania from a tumour, after travelling with Williams there to work on a groundnut food scheme. Her Dickin Medal and collar were subsequently put on display at the Imperial War Museum in London as part of 'The Animal's War' exhibition.
Early life[edit]
Judy was a pure-bred liver and white Pointer.[4] She was born in a dog kennel in Shanghai, China, in 1936. She had escaped as a puppy, and had been kept in a back alley by a shopkeeper until she was six months old. Following an altercation with some sailors from a Japanese Navy gunboat,[5] she was found by a worker from the kennel and returned there. She was originally called Shudi, which was anglicised to become Judy.[6]
In the autumn of 1936, the crew of the Insect class gunboat HMS Gnat voted to get a ship's mascot.[7] This was due in part to the competitive nature of the gunboats, with HMS Bee, Cicada and Cricket already having mascots of their own. The Captain and the Chief Bosun's mate, Lt. Cmdr. J. Waldergrave and Chief Petty Officer Charles Jefferey, purchased Judy from the kennels and presented her to the crew. It was hoped to train her as a gundog, but the men began to treat her like a pet instead, and from her first day Jefferey's log stated that "our chances of making her a trained gundog are very small."[8][9]
Military career[edit]
HMS Gnat[edit]
Able seaman Jan "Tankey" Cooper was given the job of being the "Keeper of the Ship's Dog", who was also the ship's butcher. She was given an open box and a blanket to sleep on, and was trained to stop her from going into certain areas of the ship, such as those inhabited by the Chinese cooks as they disliked her. In November 1936, she fell overboard into the Yangtze River and was spotted by Jefferey. The ship was called to a full stop and a power boat deployed to retrieve her.[4][8] The incident was recorded in the ship's log as a man overboard exercise.[10] After undergoing trials following a refit, the Gnat met up with the Ladybird, who also had a ship's dog. However Judy had to be kept away as while he took a fancy to her, she did not care for him.[11] In the early morning after the Ladybird departed, Judy alerted the ship to the presence of river pirates who were about to board the Gnat in the darkness. The attack was easily repelled as the pirates lost the surprise element. Several days later, Judy was taken ashore with a shooting party for the first time but she was unsuccessful as a gundog.[12] Throughout her stay on the Gnat, the crew repeatedly tried to use her as a gundog, each time resulting in a failure.[13]
Judy was known for pointing out the approach of hostile Japanese aircraft long before any of the human crew could hear them.[14] This first occurred prior to the outbreak of war, when the aircraft would fly low over the Gnat with Judy barking at them until they had passed.[15] On an outing to Jiujiang, Jefferey took Judy for a walk outside of the city but she ran ahead, pulling him with her. He realised as he looked back that she had been pulling him away from a Leopard.[16] In November 1937, the Gnat met with the American river gunboat USS Panay. After the Panay held a party for the two ship's companies, the Gnat crew departed and only realised afterwards that Judy was not with them. They contacted the Panay via signal lamp, but they insisted that they had not seen her.[17] The following morning, the crew heard from a Chinese trader that Judy was on board the Panay after all. In retaliation, a party boarded the American vessel and stole the ship's bell. Afterwards they contacted the Panay and offered them the bell back in return for Judy. She was returned within the hour.[18]
In early 1938, both Jefferey and Cooper were sent back to Britain as part of the crew rotation.[19] While docked in Hankou, Judy took a liking to another Pointer on board a French gunboat Francis Garnier.[20] The two ship's companies held an impromptu wedding ceremony for the two dogs. The French Pointer, Paul, remained on the Gnat for three days before returning to his ship. Judy fell pregnant, and gave birth to thirteen puppies.[21] Ten of them survived and were eventually given away to a variety of sources including the Francis Garnier and the American gunboat USS Guam.[22] Judy was involved in an incident in October that year that resulted in the ending of her trips ashore in Hankou. Whilst being walked by two sailors from the Gnat, they were confronted by Japanese soldiers who pointed a loaded rifle at Judy. One of the soldiers was thrown into the Yangtze River. During the following days, several Japanese officers came on board the Gnat and it was decided that it would be better for Judy to stay on the ship.[23][24]
HMS Grasshopper[edit]
In June 1939, several Locust class gunboats arrived on the Yangtze to take over operations from the existing Insect class vessels. Part of the crew of the Gnat transferred to HMS Grasshopper, including Judy.[24] Following the British declaration of war on Germany in September that year, several of the river gunboats, Grasshopper included, were redeployed to the British base at Singapore.[24] Judy was initially sea sick, but the crew ensured that she was properly exercised and by the time the ship arrived on station, she had recovered.[25]
Initially the stay at Singapore was peaceful, and Judy stayed with a customs official and his family for a week ashore.[25] The ship was rarely deployed until January 1942 when it was deployed with other gunboats to provide covering bombardments along the coast of Malaya for retreating troops, and occasionally to carry out evacuations.[26] The Battle of Singapore took place between 8–15 February. By 11 February, Grasshopper and its sister ship Dragonfly were the largest vessels left at Singapore.[27] On 13 February, the vessels were ordered to evacuate personnel and leave Singapore.[28] The ships left at 9pm that evening, and travelled together.[29]
The ships headed for Singkep Island in the Dutch East Indies,[30] hoping that the island group it sat in could be used as a hiding place. As they approached, Judy indicated the approach of Japanese aircraft and the anti-aircraft gunners took up their positions in readiness. The Grasshopper was hit with a single bomb before the planes departed.[31] Judy was below decks when the planes returned. The Dragonfly was hit by three bombs and sank quickly.[30] The Grasshopper was hit by a further two bombs, and the order was given to abandon ship as a fire spread close to an ammunition compartment. Boats were lowered and the crew and evacuees were ferried just over a hundred yards to shore whilst the Japanese planes strafed the vessels. It was only when they were ashore that they realised Judy was not with them.[32]
The island they arrived on turned out to be uninhabited with little food and no apparent water.[14] After a camp had been set up ashore, Petty Officer George White was sent back to the still floating Grasshopper to scavenge supplies.[33] He boarded the vessel and descended below decks to search for any items that might be of use. Whilst there, he felt Judy in the darkness, trapped under a row of lockers. He constructed a raft out of materials on the Grasshopper and rowed the items, along with Judy, back to the island.[34] The lack of water was becoming an issue, until Judy began to dig at a point on the waterline.[35] It took a couple of minutes, but Judy managed to unearth a fresh-water spring and was credited with saving everyone's lives.[14]
Five days after the Grasshopper was bombed, a tongkang arrived which took the survivors to Singkep. There they left their wounded, and Judy along with the other survivors travelled two days later on a Chinese junk to Sumatra where it was hoped that a British force remained which could take them to Sri Lanka.[14][36] Upon arrival, they took the vessel up a series of rivers until they narrowed so much that the junk could not pass. They then embarked on a 200-mile cross-country trek across the island in an attempt to reach Padang.[14] During the journey through the jungle, Judy was attacked by a crocodile and suffered a cut to her shoulder.[37] After a journey of five weeks, they arrived at Padang - but missed the last evacuation ship by a day as the Japanese were due to arrive to take over the city at any moment.[38] After the arrival of the Japanese, the survivors from the Grasshopper along with Judy, were taken into custody as prisoners of war.[39]
Prisoner of war[edit]
The crew became prisoners of war, initially held in Padang, but were soon moved onto Balawan.[40] They smuggled Judy on board the transport trucks, hidden under empty rice sacks. After five days they arrived at the Gloergoer prisoner of war camp in Medan.[14] Chief Petty Officer Leonard Williams recorded, "thus began 3-4 years of the most horrific labour, torture, starvation and every degradation the Japanese could inflict on us".[30] Once Judy arrived in the Medan camp, she met Leading Aircraftman Frank Williams, who adopted her and shared his daily handful of rice from August 1942 onwards.[4] In the camp Judy would intervene by distracting the guards when they were administering punishment.[1] She was the only animal to have been officially registered as a prisoner of war during the Second World War,[1] after Frank William's intervention to protect the dog from the guards, who would often threaten to shoot Judy as the dog growled and barked at them. Williams managed to convince the camp Commandant, who was drunk on sake, to sign the registration papers with the promise of one of Judy's future puppies.[4]
Judy's official prisoner-of-war name was '81A Gloergoer, Medan'. During her stay at the camp, she would alert the prisoners to the approach of the Japanese guards and also if other animals such as snakes or scorpions were around.[14] She also made excursions from the camp, looking for food, and would bring back rats and snakes to Williams.[41] Judy had another group of puppies, of which five survived. One of them was given to the camp Commandant as promised and another puppy was smuggled into the women's camp along with any food that the men could spare.[30][41] A further puppy was given to the Red Cross in Medan, one more was beaten to death by a drunken guard and the final one remained in the camp after Judy and Williams left.[42]
In June 1944, the men were transferred to Singapore aboard the SS Van Warwyck. Dogs were not allowed on board, but Frank Williams managed to teach Judy to lie still and silent inside a rice sack. When he boarded the ship, Judy climbed into a sack and Williams slung it over his shoulder to take on board. For three hours the men were forced to stand on deck in the searing heat, and for the entire time Judy remained still and silent in the bag on Wiliams's back. The conditions on board the ship were cramped with more than 700 prisoners. On 26 June 1944, the ship was torpedoed. Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15 feet (4.6 m) drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, not knowing if Judy had survived.[14] Over five hundred of the passengers did not survive.[43]
Return to Sumatra[edit]
Frank Williams was recaptured and was sent to a new camp without news of Judy's survival. However, stories began being told of a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris on which to hold,[14] and others recalled how the dog would bring them flotsam to keep them afloat.[30] The dog would also allow men to hold onto her back while swimming them to safety.[14] She had been found in the water by other survivors of the sinking, and once again hidden from the Japanese. Upon arrival at a dock, she was found by Les Searle who tried to smuggle her onto a truck with him. However, she was discovered by a Japanese Captain who threatened to kill her - whose order was countermanded by the newly arrived former Commander of the Medan camp and she was allowed to travel with Searle onto the new camp.[44][45]
Williams was giving up hope of finding Judy when she arrived in his new camp. "I couldn't believe my eyes. As I entered the camp, a scraggy dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over! I'd never been so glad to see the old girl. And I think she felt the same!"[14] After four weeks at the new camp, they were moved back to Sumatra by paddle steamer. They had been told that it was a "special mission" to pick fruit.[46] Instead they spent a year in Sumatra, with the Japanese using the men to cut through the jungle to lay railway track. Rations were a handful of maggot-ridden tapioca a day, which Frank continued to share with Judy.[14] She also proved useful in conducting trades with the locals, as she would indicate when someone was hiding near to the track.[47] Her barking deliberately alerted the guards to when there was something too large for her to handle in the jungle, such as tigers or elephants.[48] Frank credited Judy with saving his life during his time spent there, "She saved my life in so many ways. The greatest way of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look at her and into those weary, bloodshot eyes and I would ask myself: What would happen to her if I died? I had to keep going. Even if it meant waiting for a miracle."[14]
Post war and awards[edit]
Once hostilities ceased, the prisoners of war were told to remain until allied troops came to relieve the Japanese guards. But during this point a lice outbreak led to the Japanese condemning Judy to death. Williams hid the dog for two days from the guards until the Allies arrived.[49]
Judy was smuggled aboard the troopship Antenor heading to Liverpool.[1][50] Together with Williams, Searle and two others,[50] Judy managed to avoid the dock police and was delivered into the care of the ship's cook, who ensured that she was fed on the voyage home. Upon her return to the UK, Judy stayed for six months in quarantine in Hackbridge, Surrey.[4] Williams and Judy were reunited on 29 April 1946 and headed immediately to London.[51]
Williams was given the White Cross of St Giles,[51] and Judy was awarded the Dickin Medal,[2] "the animals' VC", in May 1946 by Major Viscount Tarbat MC, chairman of the Returned British POW Association, and was enrolled as the association's only canine member.[3][52] Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness".[4] The Dickin Medal is often referred to as the animal metaphorical equivalent of the Victoria Cross.[53]
She was interviewed by the BBC for their coverage of the London Victory Celebrations of 1946 on 8 June and her barks were broadcast to the nation on the radio as part of the programme In Town Tonight.[14][54] Frank and Judy spent the year after the war visiting the relatives of PoWs who had not survived; Frank remarked that Judy always seemed to give a comforting presence.[14]
On 10 May 1948, the pair left to work on a government-funded groundnut food scheme in East Africa.[14] There was some difficulty in getting permission for Judy to travel, and it was feared that she and Williams would be split up. This issue was promoted in the Evening Standard, and after the involvement of William Lever, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme, permission was given for Judy to travel with Williams.[55] She had a third and final litter of puppies during her time in Africa.[56] After two years there, Judy was discovered to have a tumour, and was euthanized at the age of 13. Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory,[14] which included a plaque that told of her life story.[1]
On 27 February 1972, Judy was remembered in church services across Gosport and Portsmouth,[57] and in 1992 her story was featured in the British children's TV show Blue Peter.[58] In 2006 her collar and medal went on public display for the first time in the Imperial War Museum, London, as part of "The Animals' War" exhibition.[3] It was presented to the IWM by Alan Williams, Frank's son.[1]

Comment Huh. Never thought much about it...but AWS... (Score 1) 86
Anyone who has used 3rd party "web hosting"... should know this. At least my current web host has the decency to pretend they can't see my files without my password when I ask for support.
I hadn't thought about it much, but Amazon, through the sheer scale of AWS is trusted with a whole lot of data. What does their ToS say they can do with it?

Watch out for the baby. It just got thrown out with the bath water. In what seems like an overreaction to an honest and harmless mistake, the state Education Department has invalidated the results of the state math and English exams taken by nearly 300 Schalmont students because some of the questions on the current-year exams had appeared on the previous year's tests. Inulling the exam results could affect state funding for the district in ...

"It doesn't happen every day, but it does happen occasionally where unfortunately people will use the easy access on and off the interstate as a way to rob stores that are close to the interstate," said Lt. Scottie Courtney of the Saline County Sheriff's Office.
The manager of JJ's truck stop, who did not want to appear on camera, told Channel 7 News that a man came into the store, held a gun to an employee's back and forced him over the cash register, taking the money and fleeing. The suspect also fired a shot into the ground, but no one was hurt.
Police say the money stolen from JJ's truck stop has been recovered.

Hold'em is a poker game for two to ten players with fairly simple rules. The object is to make the best 5-card poker hand using any combination of the 2 cards dealt face down to you and the 5 common cards dealt face up on the table. Here is the flow of play:
The Dealer. Cards are dealt from the position of Dealer, which rotates clockwise around the table after each hand. The player designated as Dealer for a given hand is identified by a round "D" marker on the table. The software will automatically deal cards on behalf of the Dealer.
Blinds. To start the game, the player to the left of the Dealer puts up the Small Blind (which is usually half the minimum bet) and the player to his left posts the Big Blind (equal to the minimum bet). This gets the pot started and encourages other players to place bets. They are called "blinds" because these bets are made before any cards are seen.
The Deal. Each player is dealt two cards, called Pocket Cards, which are visible only to the player holding them.
Betting. After all players have received their two pocket cards, there is a Round of Betting starting with the player to the left of the player who posted the Big Blind. Depending on prior activity in the current hand of play, a player can fold, check, call, bet, raise or re-raise within the bounds of the Game Limits and Table Stakes. A round of betting may circle the table several times if there are raises and re-raises. The round ends when all players have either called the last bet or folded.
The Flop. Next comes the Flop, where 3 cards are dealt face-up in the common area of the table, followed by another round of betting.
The Turn. Then comes the Turn, where a 4th common card is dealt face-up next to the Flop, and a third round of betting occurs.
The River. The final common card, called the River, is placed face-up next to the Turn and is followed by the last round of betting.
The Showdown. The Showdown occurs after betting concludes. The remaining players compare the best five-card poker hands they make using any combination of their 2 pocket cards and the 5 common cards. The player with the highest hand rank takes the pot. Occasionally, two or more players will have hands of equal rank or the best possible hand is comprised using all 5 common cards. In these cases, the players involved share the pot.
Next Hand. After the pot is distributed, the Dealer button moves to the next player on the left (clockwise around the table), and the players to the left of the new Dealer post blinds so the deal for a new hand can start.

Right Wrist Action In Golf Swing - Golf Lesson By Herman Williams Golf
What do you think about this video?
Brandon Owen: Hey Herman. I have been trying this technique off and on for the past year. I think I'm doing it correctly but sometimes when I really think about getting my right elbow to my rib cage on the down swing I get what feels like inside the ball and push it right. Do I just need to be a little closer to the ball? Thanks!
Larry Harley: I'm 65 and 7.9 index. Golfer since 11 yrs old. NEVER HAD SUCH A GREAT EXPLANATION of the right wrist mechanics as I recently watched. This one video helped explain the ENTIRE golf swing and this knowledge has helped me become a much better ball striker. Much of my distance has returned. This video helped me unlock some elusive secrets of the effortless Pro release. I've really never understood what should happen at the top with the wrist to set up the down swing till now.Thank You
ugadawgs98: Awesome video. I wish you were in Georgia.
Conrad Labuschagne: This guy is incredible
Guy in Colorado, Greetings!: Right on the money… thanks! That's the final nudge I needed to permanently weaken my right hand grip… just like Hogan said in Five Lessons (pg. 29), point the "V" right at the chin. I have been toying with it off and on but thought that maybe "modern" golf had figured out something better… not! Of course, at the top of the swing, this puts the club pressure on the first knuckle, actually slightly forward of it, giving great support to the force created by lag on downswing. Now I will "trust" my swing.
Actually, I have the most power at impact when my right hand has returned to that weakened position anyway, so it makes a lot of sense. Whenever I used the strong grip like so many instructors are teaching these days ("V" at the right shoulder) I'd be over in the next fairway every time… unless I'd really opened the club face so much that it looks unnatural resting on the back part of the club and face pointing skyward.
Jim Sims
Gunnison, CO
Chuck Dunchack: I swear this must be some kind of secret. I have struggled with control of the club at the top. Now I see why. With the trigger finger technique explained, I have regained control and have much more power. Never seen it explained like this. Thanks Herman.
Jinhoon Chung: This is as similar as A swing. Lol.
High handy player like me, this video shows me a lot.
Especially, clapping motion you show in 4:20. It helps a lot. Thanks.
Josh Martins: So..Like you mentioned in another video? If you have a slightly strong left hand grip then it's ok to have a cupped left wrist ..right?
James Saylor: Great detailed video. Can't wait to get to the range and work on this. You mentioned in the video that the butt of the club is pointed at the golf ball. How long does it point at the ball? It appears that the butt of the club goes very quickly back to the inside on the downswing.
YoeyYutch: I just had this 'tray of dishes' feeling when hitting one of my last few balls at the driving range today. It wasn't intentional, probably related to fatigue, It felt very natural. In fact I noticed it as it happened, but I continued the swing and hit a nice push draw, which is one of the most difficult ball flights for me to produce. I really liked how this wrist position reinforced my swing philosophy of having passive arm movement in the downswing, allowing gravity and my lower body do most of the work. I can't wait to get back out there try it again!
Sandeep Bhasin: Thank you for this video. There are so many videos on the takeaway but very few which describe how to go from takeaway to top of the golf swing and there are many misconceptions on how to do it. This clarifies things quite a bit. Had a question though - It seems the right palm is pretty much facing down at the end of the takeaway and the way it does from facing down to eventually facing up is purely thru dorsiflexion of the right wrist?
JayZoop: just make sure you don't put those wrist too far forward at moment of impact.
golf is an endless struggle of balancing everything.
JayZoop: I really feel this will help my shot out. I think what I was doing was not activating my right hand soon enough, so that lead to a slightly open face.
joaquin contreras: Thank you great video. I had a bad case of the shanks because I was releasing my left wrist instead of coming down with the palm down. I'm a lefty.. Thanks again
Chris Rowland: Very good. I think about him sometimes. Glad to hear he is doing well.
Chris Rowland: Great seeing your lessons online. I used to take lessons from Banks Guyton at Golf Academy. Hopefully see you again soon. Keep up the good work.
jossconz: Excellent video!
If you truly listen to this video and practice what Herman is saying you will gain flat left wrist at the top and at impact and you will improve.
lee west: Seems there is a contradiction in the takeaway on this video compared to the one piece takeaway video when to hinge the wrists in this one it is just at the thigh in the one piece I think it says keep the one piece to full extension could you please clarify.
Thanks Lee West Ayr Scotland..
Jon Castle: Thanks Herman. You are right - most instructors don't spend any time at all on the grip. They just look at your grip and say "oh, ok you like a strong grip" or something like that. Ben Hogan spent 20 whole pages on only the grip in his book - but didn't really go into the role of the right hand. How do you hold lag? How can a golfer extend fully down the target line without pronating his wrist (which is impossible if you have a strong swing) UNLESS the right hand functions as you describe! Even Hank Haney, in his book, glosses over the real function of the right hand to compress the ball and keep the clubface on line. I really appreciate the video. I do suspect that, however, - if one doesn't have the correct lower body action and the correct amount of turn through the shot - that many shots will be pushed to the right using the wrist action that you describe. I'll try it on the range - and use it as a gauge that if I'm pushing the shots to the right - it means I'm not getting my weight to the left quick enough, or not turning through the ball fully.
zhangjiazhu: Hey Herman. I watch many instruction videos, mainly from instructors in the UK. This video, is probably the most informative one. Very clear instruction and a lot of useful information. Thank you for the great work.

9 Companies Doing Things Differently
We come across some pretty amazing things all the time at DesignGood: from inspiring design-trepreneurs to nonprofits and Kickstarter campaigns with world-changing dreams. We're lucky that part of our job is to find those people, companies and organizations and bring them to you.
Because of this, we're starting Design9 – a new series that will highlight nine of the most awesome people, brands and organizations of the week.
We're kicking off with 9 Companies Doing Things Differently – and we mean really differently. Whether they created a game-changing design or a "why didn't I think of that?" idea about social contribution, these are brands after our own originality-loving hearts. Keep your eye on these guys!
1. Global Soap Project
Hotels discard about 2.6 million soap bars every day – and that's only in the United States. What if there was a way to recycle that unused soap and distribute the new bars to places like Sierra Leone, Uzbekistan, and even back to communities in need in the United States? Thanks to Global Soap Project, now there is.
Since 2009 this Atlanta-based nonprofit, founded by a former refugee-turned-CARE lobbyist, has distributed over two million recycled bars into 32 countries. That helps save lives by preventing the spread of illness. Who knew those little bars of hotel soap could be so powerful?
2. Osborn
A few years ago, sustainable fashion was anything but fashionable. Now, thanks to companies like Osborn, that "granola" stigma is gone. Founded by a husband-and-wife team with impressive credentials (she has a master's in art from the Tyler School of Art; he studied painting and printmaking at RISD before teaching art programs in Guatemala) Osborn makes stylish shoes that are also socially savvy. It brings sustainable design to the masses while impressing the fickle fashion crowd.
All Osborn shoes are handmade in Guatemala using fabrics sourced from thrift stores and traditional materials found in Latin America. Now that's fashionable.
3. Sigelock Systems
You probably take fire hydrants for granted. But George Sigelakis, founder of Sigelock Systems, gave them a lot of thought in his 15-year career as a New York City firefighter. He saw hydrants' maintenance problems, outdated design and security issues and decided they needed a massive redesign – the first in 50 years.
Made of stainless steel and ductile iron, the Sigelock SPARTAN Hydrant is, according to George, maintenance free for up to 200 years. The "Security Model" is also nearly impossible to break into, since only users with Sigelock tools can open it. That vastly decreases leaks and wasted water.
4. Burt's Bees
You know Burt's Bees – the natural-beauty mainstay that's been fueling your lip balm habit for years – but do you know the buzz behind this brand?
Turns out, there really is a Burt and he really does have bees. The new documentary, Burt's Buzz, tells the story of the mega-brand's start after a chance meeting in the Maine backwoods and explores its focus on natural practices. You'll also learn what happened to Burt and the company when it was sold in 2007.
Burt's Bees was producing natural beauty and personal care products long before it was trendy and continues to do so today from its North Carolina headquarters. And we think that's something to buzz about.

A rate cut by the FOMC is now expected.
This would be a proactive step by the FOMC in my opinion, but a risky one. It may not even work because rate cuts take a while to impact the economy, and the recent increases in rates in the credit markets were based on risk assessment, not anticipated changes in rates.
The main reason that I see for a rate cut is the bump up in mortage payments that are going to occur in the next couple of months. If the Fed eases a little these bump ups will be less of a burden to the borrowers and the foreclosure rate that we all anticipate will be lessened. This will help the economy avoid a more serious issue, but the severity of the issue wil still exist. There is no way around it.
The risk is that the lower rates make current debts less of a burden (credit cards) and that may pave the way for inflation to re-enter the picture. Again, I see no signs of it now, but what if....
The cost of corporate financing is clearly going up (even if rates get cut the costs are still much higher now than they were just a few weeks ago). This is not based on interest rates, it's based on risk assessment. Companies would love to pass this along to the consumer, but up until now they have had no pricing power. The main reason is that consumers have been living off of debt and savings (negative savings rate) and thay have been unwilling and unable to pay more. However, if those debt burdens are suddenly lowered (credit card payments go down) consumers will have more of an ability, and willingness to pay more for goods and services. Pricing power could re-enter the Market, and the companies could pass on these higher expenses accordingly.
Inflation then would become an issue. Consumer sentiment would be a key indicator for the future prospects of the economy if interest rates are cut. However, it would be a reverse indicator. If rates are cut I would want to see weak sentiment numbers to thwart inflation. A strong sentiment would mean that the consumer doesn't mind staying the course, and spending every excess penny he has. That would bring inflation back. If rates are cut watch sentment closely as a gauge of inflation.
The risk is clear, but the impact of a cut is not. Will it really help a Market whose rates are increasing based on the risk component?
Proactive steps are good...but the FOMC now seems caught in a catch - 22.

Socialite Gail Posner's Secret Funeral
Gail Posner, one of the four children of the infamous late businessman Victor Posner, passed away last week at the age of 67. She was reportedly battling cancer. However, for a member of one of Miami Beach's most wealthy and notorious families, her obituary was never submitted to the Herald.
Though bold-faced names such as developer and nightlife kingpin Michael Capponi, the Forge owner Shareef Malnik, and interior designer Wallace Tutt were in attendance at her funeral services in Doral this past Monday, a source says many people who wished to attend were not notified. Our source also says there was a noticeable rift between the Posner family and many of those people, including doctors, bankers, and builders with whom Ms. Posner surrounded herself later in life.
Ms. Posner was the daughter of Victor Posner, a billionaire businessman who pioneered the leveraged buyout. He made headlines when he was sued by his children, claiming his finances and will had been mismanaged. Mr. Posner's 1996 will named Gail as the chief beneficiary, but a disputed 2001 will diverted much of the inheritance to Brenda Nestor Castellano, a business associate and former girlfriend.
In recent years, Ms. Posner had given interviews about her beloved pet Chihuahua, Conchita, which had been dubbed "the most pampered dog in the world."
Ms. Posner is survived by a son, Brett Carr, and the family of her twin brother, Steven.

Three Charged With Murder Of Man Trying To Sell Car On Craigslist:
Third suspect charged in murder of man trying to sell car:
The list of craigslist killers keeps growing at an alarming rate. This time three more names have been added to that list.
In Memphis, Tennessee, 37-year-old Larry Wilkins was trying to sell his 2006 Mustang on craigslist. Police say he met up with some potential buyers shortly before Midnight on March 9th. Instead of selling his car Wilkins was shot and killed and his car stolen. Those charged in his murder are Brandon Vance, 21, Martiness Henderson, 17, and Walter Collins, 17.
One day when the website is exactly the way I want it I'll have list of all the craigslist killers and victims but if I had to take a guess I'd say we're in the dozens of killers by now.
UPDATE 5/5/2014: Henderson and Collins have been charged as adults.
UPDATE 1/15/2015: All three suspects have been indicted on first-degree murder charges.
UPDATE 2/12/2016: Brandon Vance has been convicted of first degree murder.
UPDATE 3/10/2016: Henderson was convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life. The article also mentions that Vance has also been sentenced to life.
UPDATE 7/31/2016: Collins has been convicted and sentenced to life.

This bond requirement was originally put in place in the 1930's to protect shippers who do business with brokers. In the 1970's the bond requirement was set at $10,000 where it remained until congress passed the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century" Act (MAP-21 for short).
We were able to take our strong $10,000 BMC-84 program and use its success to negotiate an incredible $75,000 program that will help prevent those fears from becoming reality.
Some of the Highlights:
Best of all, our online system will provide you with a no obligation instant approval.
Passed on June 29, 2012, and signed by the president on July 6th of the same year, MAP-21 is 599 pages of legislation that includes numerous provisions that directly affect interstate trucking companies and intermediaries.
One of the most talked about provisions is the requirement that freight brokers increase the amount of the bond/trust that they post for their license from $10,000 to $75,000. In addition Freight Forwarders, who were never subject to this requirement, must now also fulfill this $75K requirement. This bond must be in place on October 1, 2013.
The main reason this provision is so talked about is the fear of what this increase could mean to the "Mom & Pop" or midsized brokerage. Will they be forced out? Will bonding company's requirements for approval be so high they will not qualify? Will they be required to collateralize the bond in an amount that cripples the way they are able to operate?
$25,000 Household Goods Broker Bond Starting January 1, 2012 the FMCSA will require all household goods brokers to submit a $25,000 bond. No license will be issued until this requirement is fulfilled.

Imported from Italy, this stylish toothpaste makes brushing your teeth anything but routine. Both the Classic Mint and Whitening formulas keep your breath fresh while removing surface stains from your teeth. Plus, the apothecary-inspired tube dresses up the bathroom sink.
I received the cinnamon flavor sample of this toothpaste. It has a sweet cinnamon taste, very reminiscent of Big Red gum; the taste is quite pleasant It does a bang up job of cleaning my teeth and freshening my breath. Not sure if 9 out of 10 dentists would recommend, but I am a fan.5

When I was visiting home in August, my friend Lauren and I went on a small road trip to Central Oregon because she found out about this magical place called Painted Hills. In the John Day Fossil Beds, ticked away behind the hills, are these gorgeous testaments to nature.
Oh yeah, it was also pretty flippin' hot.
She caught me being silly to take a photo of a sign.
Photo by Lauren Lark Photography.
This sign.
We almost didn't find it and were running low on gas at one point, but we persevered and managed to see this place. It makes me wish I still lived in Oregon because I know we would have adventures like this a lot.
Basically all of Oregon is gorgeous, but it was really different from the lush, forested Oregon I've known my whole life living there. Hot, far away, but totally worth the trip.

Gatecrashers assaulted four people, yelled racial abuse and threw bottles at terrified soccer club members who had barricaded themselves inside a building at Balga last night.
Several young men, believed to be of African descent, tried to force their way into the Balga Soccer and Social Club rooms, where about 100 men, women and teenagers were enjoying an end of season function, about 8pm last night after being refused entry.
Three members were attacked as they tried to stop the gatecrashers, aged about 16 to 25, from getting inside. It is believed none were badly wounded but one was hit in the head with a bottle and the other two were assaulted.
The gatecrashers stopped the members locking the doors of the building and terrified club members stood against a bulletin board they had dragged in front of the doors to stop the violent attackers getting in.
The violent mob threw bottles inside the rooms and then damaged several cars parked outside, smashing windows and kicking in body panels.
Eight police vehicles arrived but the gatecrashers fled to nearby parkland and streets. After patrolling the area and gathering evidence on the damage, police left.
About 15 minutes, several African men, who were linked to the first group of gatecrashers, armed with sticks and bottles tried to force their way into the clubhouse.
One soccer club member was king hit in the jaw as members tried to tell the troublemakers to calm down and leave.
Club members again barricaded themselves inside the building as bottles and other missiles were launched through a gap in the doors.
Police again rushed to the venue and dispersed the troublemakers. They then waited for club members, whose function had finished, to go safely to their cars.
Police are appealing for information to help identify the troublemakers but at this stage, it is believed no one has been charged.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Citigroup Bank confirms only US customers affected by data breach but raises estimate
Citigroup has confirmed only US-issued Citi credit card accounts were affected by a breach of Citigroup Bank data by hackers in May, but has revised upwards the number of accounts involved.

Citigroup has confirmed only US-issued Citi credit card accounts were affected by a breach of Citigroup Bank data by hackers in May, but has revised upwards the number of accounts involved.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends

Initial estimates put the number of accounts affected by the data breach at around 210,000. Now Citigroup says just over 360,000 accounts were affected, requiring 217,657 cards to be replaced.
Some accounts were not re-issued credit cards if the account was closed or had already received new credit cards as a result of other card replacement practices, Citigroup said in a statement.
Citigroup confirmed the breach was discovered on 10 May, but said the cyber attack affected only Citi Cards' Account Online system, and had been rectified immediately. Neither the main cards processing system, nor any other Citi consumer banking online systems, were accessed or compromised, the Citigroup Bank said.
Citigroup Bank investigators found hackers had accessed customer details, including name, account number and contact information. The bank says data critical to commit fraud, such as the card security code, was not compromised.
As of May 24, Citigroup Bank began preparing to replace cardholder accounts and notification letters. The letters were sent out from 3 June 2011, ahead of the public notification on 9 June.
Citigroup said it implemented enhanced procedures to prevent similar incidents from happening. Citigroup Bank notified law enforcement and government officials.
Citigroup said customers would not be held liable for fraudulent charges and could take advantage of free identity theft protection assistance, if required.
Citing continuing law enforcement investigation, Citigroup provided no additional details about how its system was infiltrated.
US authorities have demanded that Citigroup hand over details of its security and provide evidence it will be able to prevent further breaches.
US law enforcement officials are worried other financial websites could be vulnerable to similar cyber attacks.
The breach is being probed by the US Secret Service as part of its mission to protect US currency. The US Department of Homeland Security is considering whether to notify other institutions about how the attackers gained access to Citigroup's systems.

How much are we going to pay for art like that

The basic game design is already completed and we are currently working on programming the game for a technical demo to present at international conventions and awards.
We would like to employ an art style similar to that of Xenogears
The game's structure is simple from a technical standpoint and it is going to require much less graphics compared to the classic old-style RPG.
What we need:
- side views of the characters without arms
- separated arms with a total of 7 attack animations (7 different types of weapons)
- a basic tileset of a simple environement to make the world map (original final fantasy IV style)
- battle backgrounds (which will also be used for cutscenes) FFVI style (look up final fantasy VI battle backgrounds)
That's it.
Are pixel artists who make that kind of graphics common? How much are we going to pay for art like that, most likely?

For the characters, finding a pixel artist shouldn't be too hard since that style is very common. However, you might want to get someone else for the battle backgrounds since that's significantly harder to do in my experience, and wouldn't be efficiently done in pixel art form anyway (and might be beyond the experience of a lot of pixel artists).
The overhead map might also be better as a large custom image rather than a tileset unless it needs to be modified a lot in the course of the game.

For the sprite work, I normally would charge $60-$80 an hour and this would probably take 10-15 hours a character. (1hr for a character, 2hrs for animations, 1hr each arm per weapon set, all followed up by a 5hr window for unforeseen issues. Usually deducted come bill time, but I find it's good to give a buffer in the quote)
For tile sets and battle backgrounds, it's really dependent on how detailed you want your environment to be. This one I would probably quote between $80 and $160 an hour for probably another 5-10 hours, but that's depending on how detailed and difficult the client request. (I don't like doing environments that much, so I tend to charge higher there).
Your best bet would be to find an artist you like by looking around the classified section here or browsing around deviantart. Then just send them a message for a quick quote and see what they have to say. Never hurts to ask.
Good luck!

Secondly, I recommend writing up a detailed spec so that artists know what they're quoting for, and everyone knows what the deliverables are. Once you have this document you could send it out to a range of artists and go for the best quote.
Best wishes, Robin

Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.
