Tips for a successful SS1K [Ironbutt SaddleSore- 1Thousand Miles in 24 Hour Ride]
1. Read carefully all the rules that Ironbutt has for this ride: http://www.ironbutt.com/ridecerts/getdocument.cfm?DocID=1
Then carefully read & re-read Ironbutts 29 "tips" : http://www.ironbutt.com/tech/aowprintout.cfm
2. Pick a route trying to avoid major metropolitan areas as much as possible. If you must contend with metro areas and you have access to mapping software, simulate your run and adjust your departure time to avoid all metro areas at "rush" times. Example: If I'm routing through Saint Louis I leave at 3 A.M. from where I live and I pass around Saint Louis at 5. A.M.. I also recommend making your run on weekends and avoiding holiday traffic if possible. It is also wise to check up to date road construction on the intended route: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/trafficinfo/. Also check speed limits in the states you plan to travel through: http://www.hwysafety.org/laws/state_laws/speed_limit_laws.html. You are allowed various types of routes- out & back, rectangular, triangle, and one way. Always remember on all but the one way you must get a gas or ATM receipt at the far points. Make sure before you leave each fuel stop that your receipt is readable and contains : 1-Accurate time, 2-accurate date, 3- accurate location of the station [ many stations only identify by a station #], and 4- Amount of gallons pumped. If any of these are incorrect you need to go in and explain to the attendant and ask them to please write the correction on the receipt and please include the station's telephone # . If they refuse [ I've never had that happen] just make a note to explain to Ironbutt the details [they are very considerate of extenuating circumstances]. I always write on the receipt itself my mileage at that stop, the time, and if the station is obscure, or the town listed on it may not be on the map, I write a little note about the location. Example: Intersection Of Route # 70 & State route # 36. I do this even if I'm updating my log at each stop. It always helps later when you're finishing your documentation of the ride.
3. When reading Ironbutt rules [above # 1] you saw the forms necessary to apply for SS1K. Print those and read them & get comfortable with them. Print an extra copy in case you might need them for any reason. When making your run, if there is any chance at all of getting into rain, snow etc. always keep them in a large zip lock bag before, during, and after your ride.
4. Even though you're going to be "jacked-up" try to get a decent night's sleep before your run. If you're like me that's easier said then done. I've mentally pre-rode every ride I've ever done & re-rode many rides every night/all night, long after finishing the ride. That excitement is part of thrill of LD riding so go with the flow and try to get a couple good night's sleep in the days leading up to the night before departure.
5. Have your bike checked over thoroughly by yourself or someone you trust & recheck things such as tire pressure, lights, etc. just before you leave.
6. For a couple days before your intended dates check the weather at various points along your route. Not just rain but detailed temperatures during the day & especially your start time so you can dress appropriately for the complete route. If there is any chance at all of cold & you own Electrics—always take them. Take all the suggested items in the above Ironbutt web-site. Be prepared for unexpected weather changes and take appropriate clothing. Wear good protective clothing & boots if at all possible. Never wear street or tennis shoes, IMHO. ALWAYS wear a quality helmet whether the states you are riding in require it or not [IBA requires it also]. Always layer so you can add or take away.
7. If possible take a couple different credit cards — it's especially helpful to take a debit card if you have one. Regardless, always call your two main card's customer services listed on the back of the card & explain what you are about to do & ask them to make a note on your account to allow frequent gas charges at many locations in a relatively short period of time [the credit card charge patterns for a Ironbutt run are the same ones as for a stolen card, and they may cut off your card and it may take you valuable time to clear it up] The debit card protects you from this problem because you have to have the money in the account & it takes it immediately. I got one just for this reason.
8. If you are riding alone or with someone else share your plans with a trusted friend or family member. Let them know your departure location & time, turn around point or turning points, intended route, and approximate time of return. Promise to call them upon your return & then do it.
9. If possible hide an extra ignition key somewhere on the bike, make sure you have your insurance cards [bike & health] , license registration, make sure your drivers license has the motorcycle endorsement if required in the state you're from, emergency telephone #'s, etc.
10. Try to pick filling stations that are close to the highway & well lit & if you have a choice– modern looking- better chance of having receipt at the pump. Everything else being equal pick the one that's not quite as crowded in case you have to go inside or use the bathroom. As soon as you stop at the pump reorient yourself as to which way you go upon departure to get back to the route you just left. Never leave a station without rechecking the receipt as I've mentioned above. Little mistakes or omissions are very easy to correct at this point. If you have had to leave your credit card inside because they did not have "pay at the pump" always check to see that you got the correct credit card [Don't ask me how I know].
11. One doesn't want to be rude, but discussions at the station can really cut into your time. Try to limit your fuel stops to about 7 minutes from the time you leave the Highway until you get back on. Allow 3 -5 additional minutes if you have to add a bathroom break. That's real hard if there's a line. Just guidelines—not always possible. I sometime leave my helmet on at the pump & my earplugs in & just point to my ears if someone wants to tell me about their '36 Indian. I smile & try not to hurt their feelings & tell them I'm sorry but I have earplugs in. If you have the time for some extra reading I recommend "Going the Extra Mile" written by legend Ron Ayres. It's available at the IBA Website & other internet book sources. It's a good "nuts & bolts" book and has an extensive list of web-sites in the back of most all motorcycle accessory vendors & products. I refer to it all the time.
12. It's very important to keep hydrated. Don't wait until you're thirsty. On a bike you evaporate much more and need replacement. Tuck away a spare bottle of water in case you break down or are stopped for any reason. Even warm water is welcome at that point. Get a bottle of water at fuel stops, but that requires you to go in and maybe wait in line, or buy an inexpensive "Camel back" and not have to fill it very often. Every couple fuel stops [when there isn't a line] buy a power drink or take pills with you that replace electrolytes & minerals–I recommend (especially Diabetics) carry ELECTROLYTE STAMINA tablets . http://www.traceminerals.com/products/energy-performance
13. Many like to go in and eat a regular meal. If I'm on a SS1K I take home-made beef jerky cut up into bite size pieces, energy bars, and trail mix I may occasionally pull up to a drive-up when there is no line & order a couple simple burgers stuff them in my coat and eat them running down the road being careful to carry the paper to my next fuel stop. This is not necessary for a SS1K but I always run as if I'm on an extreme ride & try to develop "better" habits for when I am. Don't let these snacks be a distraction. I have them handy in a tank bag or my coat, but it would be better to stop & eat rather than have an accident. You have time on a SS1K to stop & eat all meals, and many suggest lite health conscious meals such as salads.
14. If right after a stop you find something that's not right and/or bothering you in any way, stop and correct the problem. Example: some strap is flapping, you forgot to fasten your helmet strap, your contact is out of place etc. Unless it's easily correctable don't distract yourself by trying on the run. Don't put it off unless you decide it's not that important.
15. I usually prefer to run by myself, but there is something to be said for sharing this experience with a friend, if you have similar riding styles and agree on how you plan to handle your stops. I would discourage large group rides—too many variables.
Additional Note: The witness signatures (start and finish) that are required by IBA do not have to be signed at the exact time of the start or finish. That witness is simply verifying that that rider and that bike were at that location with that license plate and that mileage at or near that time. If you're leaving or arriving at 2 or 3 AM, your witnesses can sign those forms at any reasonable time before or after that—-the evening before your departure or during the morning after your early AM arrival.

Collecting information on your health
The healthcare professionals and organisations that provide your care, for example your GP practice, hold your personal information. We do not hold or process personal information for the vast majority of patients. The exceptions are generally limited to:
- Managing a complaint you have made about a service.
- Managing individual funding requests for care.
And the information is likely to be:
- Your name, address, date of birth and details of your GP.
- Your medical condition and the treatment(s) that you receive.
Some teams may also occasionally have access to your information under particular circumstances. These could include:
- Continuing healthcare.
- Medicines management.
- Safeguarding.
- Corporate complaints team.
The secondary uses service (SUS) is the single comprehensive repository for healthcare data in England (with the exception of data from the GP practices currently being addressed), which enables a range of reporting and analysis to support the NHS in the delivery of healthcare services.
We need to use data identifiable at the level of NHS number to provide intelligence to support commissioning of health services. The NHS number is required to ensure that analysis of health care provision can be completed to support the needs of the health profile of the population within west Herts based on analysis of patient data across health pathways. As a result of this:
- SUS data flow from Health and Social Care Information Service (HSCIC) to North East London Data Services for Commissioning Regional Office (DSCRO) identifiable at the level of NHS Number (weakly pseudonymised).
- Data quality management and standardisation of data is completed by the DSCRO. As the CCG could not directly connect to the DSCRO to receive the data because of the Regional Processing Centre governance, North East London Commissioning Support Unit (NEL CSU) (ASH (Accredited Safe Haven) Stage 1) is used as a landing stage, receiving the data from the DSCRO. NEL CSU completes no additional processing of the data
- North East London Commissioning Support Unit (NEL CSU) (ASH Stage 1) securely transfers the data to MedeAnalytics, who hold the SUS data within their secure Data Centre on N3, for the addition of derived fields, linkage of relevant data sets and analysis, (please note that at this time HVCCG had not acquired ASH status accreditation until December 2014 by which time a data sharing agreement delegating responsibility for this function had been signed with MedeAnalytics and is still in place). The MedeAnalytics systems that hold SUS data are limited to those administrative staff with authorised NHS Smart Cards used for identification and authentication
- HVCCG authorised users log into the MedeAnalytics secure system to access the processed data identifiable at the level of NHS number via N3 connection as do the local GPs (Data Controllers)
- Once in receipt of the data, the CCG completes aggregation of required data for our management use, including but not restricted to: commissioning patient services with providers, budgets, audits, validating invoices, performance management of providers, research, statutory returns, etc
Only members of staff directly involved in reviewing your care or complaint are able to see your information. Everyone who does see your information must keep it confidential.
We may keep your information in written form and/or on a computer.
How patients' records are used to help the NHS
General information about patients may be used to help assess the needs of the general population and make informed decisions about the provision of future services. Information can also be used to conduct health research and development and monitor NHS performance.
Where information is used for statistical purposes, stringent measures are taken to ensure individual patients cannot be identified. Anonymous statistical information may also be passed to organisations with a legitimate interest, including universities, community safety units and research institutions.
Where it is not sufficient to use anonymised information, person identifiable information may be used, but only for essential NHS purposes. This may include research and auditing services. This will only be done with your consent, unless the law requires information to be passed on to improve public health.
Your information will not be sold to the private sector for marketing purposes.
How we keep your records confidential
Everyone working for the NHS is subject to the Common Law Duty of Confidence. This means that the information you provide to us in confidence will only be used for the purposes that you have consented to, unless there are other circumstances covered by the law.
Under the NHS Confidentiality Code of Conduct, all our staff are also required to protect your information, inform you of how your information will be used, and allow you to decide if and how your information can be shared.
Organisations we may share your information with
In those rare occasions when the CCG does hold your personal health information (as above), we may share your information, for health purposes, with other NHS organisations such as hospitals trusts or with organisations that have contracts with the NHS to deliver care to patients such as GP practices.
There are rare occasions when we are required by law to report certain types of information to relevant authorities. This information is only reported after formal permission has been given by a qualified health professional. Occasions when we must pass on information include-
- where we encounter infectious diseases which may endanger the safety of others, such as meningitis or measles (but not HIV/AIDS)
- where a formal court order has been issued
Our guiding principle is that we are holding your records in strictest confidence.
Direct care rationale and benefits
The reason health and social care organisations, both locally and nationally, need to use patient based data include:
- supporting the administrative and operational processes of the provision and management of appropriate care, whether within primary care, within secondary care or across care and/or organisational boundaries
- to enable appointments with relevant clinicians and clinics to be made
- ensuring case notes and relevant information are provided in the process of care
- providing information from the referring clinician to the subsequent service, such as laboratory tests to enable the appropriate service to be provided
- Providing clinical information from the referring clinician to another clinician for investigations, tests and treatment to be undertaken/provided
Examples of benefits arising include:
- ensuring that the patients receive the care that they need
- minimising the repetition of information gathering from patients by clinicians
- managing the workload of clinicians and associated resources, such as clinics, test machinery and buildings
- supporting the safe delivery of services
Sharing your information with non NHS organisations
On the rare occasions when we might hold your individual information, we may also share this with non NHS organisations who provide care to you. These may include social services and other organisations from which we commission services. Where we are required to share information with these types of organisations we will not disclose any health information without your explicit consent, unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as when the health or safety of others is at risk or where the law requires it.
We may be asked to share basic information about you, such as your name and address which does not include sensitive information. This would normally be to assist them to carry out their statutory duties. In these circumstances, where it is not practical to obtain your explicit consent, we are informing you through this notice, which is referred to as a Privacy Notice, under the Data Protection Act.
Where patient information is shared with other non-NHS providers, an information sharing agreement is drawn up to ensure information is shared in a way that complies with relevant legislation. These non-NHS organisations may include, but are not restricted to social care, education services, local authorities, the police, voluntary and private sector providers.
You have the right to withdraw consent for us to share your personal information
You have the right to refuse/withdraw consent to information sharing at any time. The possible consequences will be fully explained to you and could include delays in receiving care.
How can you get access to your own health records?
The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to see or have a copy of your health records. You do not need to give a reason but you may be charged a fee.
If you want to access your health records you should make a written request to the NHS organisation(s) where you are being treated now or have been treated in the past. You should also be aware that in certain circumstances your right to see some of the details contained in your health records may be limited in your own interest or for other reasons.
Further information
Further information can also be obtained from the Data Protection Act 1998, the Care Record Guarantee and the NHS Confidentiality Code of Conduct, accessible via the internet or you local library.

Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I love producing compelling reportage and socially themed work. Lived in Asia for 3 and a half years in both South Korea and Japan, worked for a range of clients producing editorial illustration for publications, poster design and illustration for advertising. Clients include Crypton Future Media (Japan) and Battersea Arts Centre. Love Moebius, Katsuhiro Otomo and Taiyo Matsumoto.
Working on their board game concept "Life is What U Make It" on a freelance basis. Identity and branding, Illustration, Packaging Design, Graphic Design
At Newcastle University I taught on their pre-sessional course, which involved getting foreign students' English up to scratch for starting a masters degree. The vast majority of students were Chinese, with a small number from the Middle East. The job involved marking, testing and planning to improve their IELTS scores.
I designed a door hanger to be used as a free gift displaying Crypton's main mascot 'Hatsune Miku'. The door hangers were then distributed at Crypton's event at the South by South West trade show in Austin, Texas.
I worked as an English teacher at a small private school in Sapporo, Japan for about a year and a half. I taught a very broad range of age groups from very small children up to elderly students, tailoring my classes to their individual needs.
Accompanying a range of other artists and musicians, I produced a VJ style set to go with a live band. The idea was to use an analogue method, so all the artists involved produced their visuals using an old fashioned projector, manipulating the light in different ways. Additionally we designed posters to advertise across Busan in South Korea.
Provided editorial illustration for a range of articles and reviews.
Created a logo and branding for an events group based in Masan, South Korea. We regularly organized club nights in the neighboring city of Busan with a range of DJs. I produced the logo and illustrations on each poster design, along with doing the warm up set at the beginning of each event.
Provided editorial illustration for a range of articles and short stories.
I worked as an English teacher in the southern city of Masan in South Korea for 2 years as part of their national 'EPIK' program. During this time I rotated between 3 rural schools each week, 1 of which was a middle school and the other 2 elementary. I taught their English curriculum and also created and ran their summer and winter English camps.
A more conceptual design Masters offering a broad range of projects open to experimentation. Concept driven and heavily researched based, the course gives students the option to explore any medium from print to animation or digital media. There are also additional briefs on offer as extra curricula activities.
A 1 month full time course preparing students wanting to teach abroad on how to do it professionally in a classroom environment. Extremely full on and difficult, the course quickly provides the training necessary to be able to work in a broad range of classroom environments and teaches many key strategies on how to be effective as an English teacher.
A 3 year BA giving students the option to specialize in either illustration or animation. The first year allows them to branch out into both areas, studying animation basics like walk cycles whilst also learning book binding, architectural drawing and how to make a children's book. Second and third year are more heavily involved with developmental work in one of these two key areas.
I was selected for Hire An Illustrator's ShowCase 100 illustration exhibition at the Framer's Gallery, London. I beat over 1000 candidates to be selected and the work was on show during April 2015. The selected work was also published as a book. http://sc100.co.uk/
A scholarship offering students wanting to do a Master's Degree at UAL a grant covering 50% of their fees. http://www.arts.ac.uk/mypostgradfuture/?utm_source=underground&utm_medium=posters&utm_campaign=vcscholarships
During second year studying Illustration and Animation at Kingston I won the Brill Award for architectural drawing. The award itself has been ongoing for many years and the commission requires selected artists to draw a piece of local architecture that's in danger of disappearing.

- PFF Scholarship work
The 14th PFF Scholarship Film
Director:Kenji Uchida
When scattered strings of time converge,Good fortune is sure to follow
It all started one Friday night when broken hearted and lackluster businessman Miyata returned home after losing the love of his life, only to be called out again by his private investigator friend. The two meet at a restaurant, where Miyata runs into a woman and falls in love, but in the shadows something unbelievable awaits them all...
Three episodes as seen from the viewpoints of five people - a devastated Miyata, a detective who is tired of his job, a yakuza boss having trouble running his organization, a woman thrown into despair by a two-timing fiancé, and a con woman who twists men around her finger-are sandwiched between a short prologue and epilogue. The relationships between seemingly simple and isolated episodes begin to surface one after the other as the story progresses, bringing friendships to light and exposing the complicated nature of human beings. While Miyata remains oblivious to the events happening around him, surely his kindness and braverywill encourage broken hearted guys everywhere to keep trying.

The Firefox Home app has been submitted to Apple to determine whether or not it will ever make it onto the App Store and consequently onto millions of iPhones around the world.
The app is developed by Mozilla, which has already confirmed that a full version of its Firefox browser will never be coming to the iPhone due to "constraints with the OS environment and distribution".
This essentially means that Apple would not be happy with having a direct rival to its own native internet browser sitting on the App Store.
The limited capabilities of the Firefox Home app, however, might well make it past Apple's acceptance process, as it lets users check out their desktop browsing history, bookmarks and even the tabs that they have recently accessed.
These links will then load up via the Safari browser provided by Apple.
Firefox users may be unhappy that Mozilla is not going to attempt to bring any new versions of the full browser to the iPhone, but this new app could become a consolation prize if it is accepted.

This will be an exciting month for Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo and his wife – they're expecting their second son to be born in the next few weeks. Stone Temple Pilots will also be releasing a new self-titled album on May 25th – the first since 2001's Shangri-La-Dee-Da.
DeLeo had the following to say in a recent interview with Pulse radio:
"With a wife and a four-year-old son right now, and another son coming at the end of May, this year is definitely gonna be a year for me personally of wearing a lot of hats," DeLeo said. "I've got a record being released on May 25 and a son coming on May 28 and then a tour that's gonna take me up to the end of 2011, so it's gonna be a juggle. But I'm up for it."
Stone Temple Pilots has been reunited since 2008 putting an end to their seven year hiatus. Look for them on Dave Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel promoting their upcoming album.

This article was originally written by Jonathan Chait and posted in New York Magazine:
This is an era of rapid social change, and also of historical ferment, when Americans are rethinking not only who we are, but who we were. The post-Charleston backlash against Confederate imagery is one manifestation of this. Another concurrent one is a struggle over the historic role of Andrew Jackson. Earlier this year, feminist activists started a movement to replace the seventh president on the $20 bill with a woman. The long lead time required for the Treasury to alter paper currency has saved Jackson's status for the time being, but a historical reconsideration is well under way. Jackson presents a more distant symbol than the Confederate flag and — except for Native Americans, whose ancestors he slaughtered — a less visceral one. Yet the fight over Jackson runs just as deep, opening questions about the nature of American politics, the purpose of the Democratic Party, and the political cast of Barack Obama's America.
Seven years ago, as Obama methodically sewed up the Democratic Party's nomination, the peculiar and unprecedented makeup of his voting base raised skepticism and even alarm. Minorities and college-educated whites thrilled to the young, black law professor, but working-class whites regarded him with suspicion and even hatred, continuing to vote for Hillary Clinton in overwhelming numbers even after her prospects of winning the nomination had disappeared. The conservative electoral analyst Michael Barone marveled at "Obama's great weakness among Appalachian voters — call them Jacksonians, after their first president." Sean Wilentz, a Princeton supporter and staunch Clinton backer, complained that Obama was "usurping the historic Democratic Party, dating back to the age of Andrew Jackson, by rejecting its historic electoral core: white workers and rural dwellers in the Middle Atlantic and border states. … Out with the Democratic Party of Jefferson, Jackson, F.D.R., Truman, Kennedy and Johnson, and in with the bright, shiny party of Obama."

Tenawa Haven Gas Processing Holds Ribbon Cutting
Published by KayLene on October 26, 2015 - 8:24am
While the skies were a little grey the morning of September 24th on the K96 corridor in Reno County, the mood of the crowd that was gathering was anything but grey. Officials from the City of Haven, the State of Kansas, the corridor region and as far away as Houston, Texas came together on a site just west of the City of Haven, on the south side of Highway K96 to officially open the new Tenawa Haven Processing Plant. The morning events included a formal ribbon cutting and comments from Tenawa President Greg Ameringer, who designed the facility, Tenawa Vice President of Commercial Robert Jernigan and Vice President of Operations Brad Misley. Officials welcoming the company to the region included Haven Mayor Paula Scott, Reno County Commission Chairman James Schlickau, Kansas Lt. Governor Jeff Colyer and Kansas Deputy Secretary of Commerce Steve Kelly. The event wrapped up with a lunch of traditional southern shrimp boil and homemade cinnamon rolls from nearby Yoder, Kansas. The Haven Chamber of Commerce, the K96 Corridor Development Association and Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce joined the company in hosting the event.
The plant is owned by Tenawa Resource Management, a Houston based company that provides midstream services to the natural gas and oil industry. It is one of the largest, most flexible and fuel-efficient gas processing plants in the United States. The state-of-the-art facility extracts liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas transported by pipeline from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and is capable of processing up to 1.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Construction of the facility, estimated to cost several hundred million dollars, was accomplished in an impressive 15 months. The gleaming towers can be seen for miles as you travel along the K96 corridor from Wichita to Hutchinson.
The project to make the facility a reality was a true regional effort that included the K96 Corridor Development Association, the State of Kansas, City of Haven and Reno County. Company president Greg Ameringer spoke to the Haven City Council early in the application process and stated the company's desire to be a good partner to the City. He told the crowd at the ribbon cutting that it was a joy to be here. The facility will house ten full time employees and the construction project provided jobs for hundreds of workers from the local area. Harland Priddle, Executive Director of the K96 Corridor Development Association, pointed to the project as an example of the great things that happen when regional cooperation exists.

This is one segment in a series of posts about storytelling. These posts will focus on the use of storytelling as an effective means of communication, education, and marketing. Storytelling is a wonderful way to share complex ideas in a memorable manner. This post discusses three of the seven classical types of stories and examines scientific examples.
You've decided that you want to make a video to share your scientific story. That's great news. Your research will be even more memorable because the viewers will use multiple senses while watching your narrative. But are you wondering where to start? Well, what kind of story do you want to tell? According to Christopher Booker, the author of Seven Basic Plots, there are several broad categories that all stories fall into, even scientific ones. These narrative archetypes are: the quest, destroy the monster, rebirth, rags to riches, journey and return, tragedy, and comedy.
All scientists are on a quest for knowledge, so the only type of story you need to focus on is that archetype, right? Let's reconsider this idea. While it's true that scientists aren't battling monsters in the lab (unless you count the giant cockroaches that seem to live in every university science department), what if the "monster" in your story is a type of disease and you're going to "destroy" it by developing the cure? Thus, your scientific story could fit this type of narrative and depict how you battled and defeated the monstrous disease at your lab bench.
Rebirth is another great type of scientific story. How many times has the interest in a certain research topic tapered off only to be revitalized once a new problem or technology was developed? For example, Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff proposed in 1907 that some microbes are beneficial and could extend the life of humans. Over a hundred years later, data collected from the Human Microbiome Project supports the idea that our commensal microbiota is an important part of us and contributes significantly to our health. Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, are actively being researched as a novel method to treat diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease.
By using these types of narratives, it becomes easier to share data while telling a story. Communicating while using a narrative is a great way to educate your audience, because people naturally learn and remember stories. Sharing your data in the context of a narrative also allows the audience to understand the problem and to appreciate the significance of the solution. Motionbirth specializes in creating stunning video stories that allow researchers to share their data in an entertaining and striking way. The artists and animators at Motionbirth love helping scientists to craft stories so that their research can be shared with the world.
In this post, we've discussed three types of stories and given examples from a scientific perspective. In the next segment, we'll examine the four other types of stories and how scientists can use these narrative archetypes.

2015 TEXTBOOK Cabernet Sauvignon "Mise en place," Oakville District
- Superbly mature and well-drained Cabernet site on rocky east-side of Oakville District AVA, next door to Screaming Eagle. Merlot site is on east-side, next to Paradigm, near To-Kalon and down the hill from Harlan.
- Classic Bordelaise winemaking (blended varietals, new French oak, egg-white fining) partnered with beautiful Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot provides a spectacular result.

Appellation Oakville District
Wine Profile
Ratings 92 POINTS, OUTSTANDING "Aromas of walnuts, bark and dark fruit follow through to a medium to full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Lovely fruit to this." - James Suckling
Awards SUPERB! "This attention-getting Cabernet comes from the rocky edges of the Oakville district at a site next door to Screaming Eagle, a steep-hilled area renowned for superb, richly-textured Cabernet Sauvignon. To soften the wine slightly, the Peys harvest Merlot from a site clsoe to Paradigm and To Kalon. Made from heritage clones of Cabernet, clones 4 and 337, and 10% Merlot, this wine sees 50% new French oak for 21 months. Blackberry and graphite dominate the aromas and flavors, but it's the stout and steadfast texture, amped up by muscular tannins, that makes this unmistakably textbook Oakville Cab." - Laura Ness, The Good Life Collection, Holiday Guide 2017
Vineyard Notes Our "Mise en place" Cabernet Sauvignon comes from two very special single-vineyard sites located on the extreme eastern and western sides of the Oakville District abutting the rugged and dry Vaca Mountain and verdant Mayacamas mountain ranges. These sub-sections of the Oakville AVA are renowned for superb, richly-textured Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The terrain is characterized by steep hills that bask in warm afternoons, offering an ideal growing environment. Soil profiles include gravelly alluvium (eroded off the nearby mountains) covered by gravelly loam and in some places interspersed with large boulders. They are infertile and very well-drained. Planted in the early 1980's and 1990's these sites clonal material include heritage selections (likely from Beaulieu Block). Exemplary sustainable farming practices are employed in these mature sites. After veraison we culled unevenly ripened bunches which reduced yield to less than 6 pounds per vine (@ 3.1 tons/acre), low for the Oakville District.
Production Notes TEXTBOOK Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot clusters were field-sorted, hand-harvested and then hand-sorted at the winery at an average of 26.3 Brix and subsequently cold soaked for five days in open-top, temperature-controlled fermenters. We let the prevailing yeasts start the fermentation. Two daily punch-downs during fermentation kept the caps immersed and extracted superb flavor and structure. After thirty-three days on their skins we gently pressed into French oak barriques where the lots completed ML fermentation over the winter. Barrels were of the highest quality; 100% French, 50% new, three-year air-dried, medium-toast with toasted heads and handcrafted by Boutes, Francois Frères and Nadalié. A touch of Oakville Merlot from the westside foothills added mouthfeel and softness and completed the classic "Bordeaux Left Bank" blend profile. Twenty-two months maturation in barrel with two rackings and one egg white fining integrated flavors and developed its wonderfully balanced, yet textured mouth-feel. We bottled twenty-nine barrels.

Ontario apple growers, father-daughter duo Charles and Courtney Stevens of Wilmot Orchards located in Newcastle, Ont., were recently featured in Andrew Campbell's video series called The Dinner Starts Here as he tours 52 Canadian farms in 52 weeks.
At Wilmot Orchards, they grow high-bush blueberries pick your own business as well as grow apples commercially in a high-density orchard setting. They have about nine different varieties of apples, but 80 per cent are three varieties: Honey Crisp, Gala and Ambrosia – as Stevens refers to it as the "all Canadian apple."
The video features drone footage of the orchard and Stevens talks about what it takes to grow apples. The video explains how there is about 75 different insects and pests that try to attack an apple crop. In addition, the duo talk about how they have to prune about 100,000 trees by hand in January. The almost 11-minute-long video also discusses the significant investment needed in order to get an apple crop.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that the Colts are bringing in free agent TE Brandon Williams for a visit.
This is the first reported interest in Williams since the free agent market officially opened a few weeks ago.
Williams, 29, originally signed on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon back in 2013. He managed to make the 53-man roster in each of his first two years with the Panthers, but was unfortunately waived at the start of the 2015 season.
The Dolphins later signed him to their practice squad but elected to not tender him a restricted offer last offseason. Williams later signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks and finished out the year in Seattle.
In 2016, Williams appeared in all 16 games and caught two passes for 36 yards receiving and no touchdowns. Williams played a total of 158 snaps last year, according to Pro Football Focus.

Dominique Strauss Kahn enjoyed the services of up to eight call girls at a time, a prostitute has alleged.
The incident emerged during court today; Mr Strauss Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund stands accused of "aggravated pimping" in the northern French city of Lille. If found guilty he faces up to ten years in jail and a fine of €1.5million.
The allegation formed part of the testimony of Sandrine Vandenschrik, who told police that she witnessed the incident at the Murano, a four star hotel. "I was shocked – I didn't want to get involved in this carnage," she said.
Strauss Kahn, 65, is denying the allegations, claiming that he did not know the girls were prostitutes. "He really wants us to believe he's naive and takes us for idiots," said Miss Vandenschrik.
Another witness also described a scene of "carnage with a heap of mattresses on the floor", with Strauss Kahn in the height of "pure sexual consummation" with naked girls writhing all over his body.
Strauss Kahn is standing trial alongside 13 other men and women, all of whom are alleged to have played part in the Carlton Affair, a prostitution ring named after the four star Carlton hotel where other such parties took place. He is also said to have entertained prostitutes in a flat in Paris, and in Washington DC, near the IMF offices, as well as enjoying orgies worldwide alongside police chiefs and captains of business.
Although prostitution and using the services of prostitutes is not illegal in France, procuring prostitutes for another person is. Strauss Kahn has been described by prosecutors as the "King of the Party" for his role in the prostitution ring.
He has admitted to a huge sexual appetite and enjoying "libertine" parties, but denies knowing that the girls were prostitutes, arguing that it was impossible to know what the girls did for a living because they were all naked.
A former French finance minister, Strauss Kahn had been tipped to succeed Nicholas Sarkozy as French President, until in 2011 his career came to an abrupt end when he was accused of attempted rape by a New York chambermaid. That case was eventually settled in a civil settlement after the criminal case was dropped. A subsequent attempted rape allegation case in Paris was also closed on the statute of limitations, but his political ambitions were brought to an end.
Last October, he stepped down from investment firm Leyne Strauss Kahn and Partners mere days before his business partner died in an apparent suicide. The firm declared bankruptcy just days later, and the collapse is now being investigated by Luxembourg.
In December, his legal team released a statement claiming that the charges "contradict all legal good sense". Strauss Kahn also told Le Parisien that he was "serene" about the trial, and confident of being cleared by the court. If he is found guilty, he is more likely to be given a six-month suspended sentence, lawyer Stephane Bonnifassi, who is not connected to the case, has told Bloomberg. He added that Strauss Kahn would struggle to revive his career for a third time.
The trial will run to the 20th February, with a possible week long extension, a court spokesman has said. Strauss Kahn is expected to give evidence on the 10th February.

A small black duck
25 comments:
- Anonymous3/11/2007
Was it, perhaps, an "American Coot"ReplyDelete
American Coot (Mud hen) Body dark slate gray. Bill white, chicken-like; tail feathers short and stubby.
Thanks for the link. The birds I saw had a coal-black body with a bright white bill. I didn't notice a red spot between the eyes, and I didn't look at the feet. The picture you linked to had the wrong body-color, but that picture is better than anything I found in Google images.ReplyDelete
I wanted to take a picture of them, but before I did that, our weather turned warm, and almost all of the hundreds of birds that were in the river during the river are gone.
- Anonymous10/09/2007
I agree with Allen. I saw the same bird in Upstate NY, I did not notice the red, and the body appeared smaller than the American Coot.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/15/2007
We saw the same ducks in Canandaigua Lake in upstate new york, have never seen ducks like this before...... hope we can figure out what they are.ReplyDelete
- tkejre12/06/2007
According to the Arizona Game and Fish Department the fowl you saw had to be an American Coot. The immature Coot can be dark gray in color, but when fully mature they are coal black with a white bill. Technically the American Coot is not a duck (no webbed feet), but waterfowl. It is a migratory bird and therefore protected to some extent. It has quite a varied migratory pattern and can be found from New York to Southern Mexico. It is particularly fond of winters in Florida. Although American Coots are generally a mid-sized fowl some are indeed much smaller. The cause of this has never really been established, but is considered to be environmental. Only one other bird; this one is a duck, the Southern Pochard, has the same color pattern (black body with white bill), but it is sub-saharan and will be found in African countries, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina. Vagrant to Trinidad and Surinam. The easies way to tell would be to look at the feet. If your fowl has webbed feet then I'm wrong. This is a pretty good website...see if this is the bird you saw. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/American_Coot.htmlReplyDelete
That picture looks, in general, like the birds I've been seeing. The next time I see them, I'll look at their feet and at their bill for the shape and black marks.ReplyDelete

I live in Oregon on the canal of aReplyDelete
lake. I was just trying to find out what kind of duck that we have
had in the water all winter. It is
small, black about 1/2 the size of the Mallard ducks. There are about
a dozen of the ducks in our water.
They dive and stay under water for quite some time. Their heads bob forward and back while they're swimming. The American Coot is close but not the exact same coloring. I watched a show on the nature channel about a bird in artic that looked similiar and behaved the same. I wondered if maybe they migrate to the Northwest
for the winter?
Tammy your duck in Oregon may be a Harlequin duck. Those are in the Puget Sound too.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/11/2009
im sorry, this is a response to one of your blog posts from 2007, i googled something about a black duck with a white bill and came across your page, i saw the stuff about the american coot so i looked into my Birds book and found that what we have seen is the eurasian coot..ReplyDelete
i will post a picture of it on my flickr account.
sorry for the 2 year delayed response :p

These small black duck like birds with the white bill sure do travel. I was picking my son up from school and on the way home we saw one. It was in a small pond in Cross Plains, Tn about 30 miles north of Nashville. I looked for my camera but unfortunately my daughter took it out of my purse. I will try to get picture if I see it again.ReplyDelete
I saw two black ducks with white bills again. See my post for October 17, 2009 for details.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11/28/2009
I saw 10-20 birds meeting this description in McQueeney, Texas over the Thanksgiving weekend. Definitely not black ducks. Could be the American coot, but I didn't notice the chicken shaped bill. Small dark gray body with black head, white beak and white spot on tail. They skittered across the water with big feet when approached by boat.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12/22/2009
I live in central Kentucky on the farm I work for I have seen the exact bird you have described. As the nes you have seen they are small bodied black Not a chance you would call them gray and just the bill is white. The white is contained to the bill annd does not continue between the eyes as the eurasian coot like one person described. I can not comment on the feet the times I have seen this bird it was in the water.there are also some mallards that it will stay around in the lake when they are also there. This bird has always been alone and struck me as odd considering you see most water fowl in pairs or groups. That lead me to wonder if like some they mate for life and this one has possibly lost its mate some how. When I can get a pic I will post it so you can see of it is the same one.ReplyDelete

HI! I'm in southeast Michigan, and I noticed what I was calling a black duck, with a small white bill. they are slightly smaller than the normal Michigan ducks, after searching many sites, this is the post that got me to find this little guy's picture! it is the American Coot! thank you!ReplyDelete
During my run today I saw a coot up close, and it is definitely the type of duck that I referred to in this post. Smaller than a Mallard. The body is solid black (or a very dark gray), and a pure white bill. I've seen lots of them in the river at a distance during the past year, but this is the first one I've seen up close.ReplyDelete
killed my 1st wv black duck the other day.Saw about 100 american coots"waterfowl that have a white chicken like beak and bob there head and dive continuously/"They have to run on the water 4 quite aways b4 take off bcause ther feet r positioned almost at the rear of there body like all diving ducks.ReplyDelete
If it flies it dies....
We live in Mason, Ohio, and walk everyday at Pine Hill Park in Mason. For about a wek we have seen three black (guinea hen body type) ducks, smaller than a mallard, and with what seems to be white beaks rather than bills. They love to dive, and today they seemed to interact with each other. Two of them joined a group of mallards to investigate the bread I left on the side of the bank. They seem reclusive, and to like to return to the branch tangled side of the water often. They were especially fun to watch when they got out of the water and walked around on the bank to look for food. Insects? Today they ate some of the bread I left. Tomorrow I will take binoculars to look at their feet.ReplyDelete

Incredibly sad news today. Actor-writer-director-presenter-ambassador of nerds everywhere, Leonard Nimoy, has passed away at the age of 83 following a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, his widow Susan Bay Nimoy confirmed today. Nimoy's career in film and television began in 1951 and he enjoyed success for the next 60+ years.
Dan Casey shares his favorite Leonard Nimoy moment. Share yours in the comments below
He is, of course, best known and loved as Mr. Spock, the logical-to-a-fault half-human/half-Vulcan science officer on Gene Roddenberry's landmark sci-fi series Star Trek, and was the only member of the cast to appear in every single episode, even including "The Cage," the original pilot which featured Captain Christopher Pike instead of James Tiberius Kirk. Spock became the immediate standout character and his familiar hand symbol and phrase "Live Long and Prosper" became one of the most recognizable aspects of that series.
Even though that show only lasted three seasons, Nimoy's involvement in the franchise continued, lending his voice to the animated series, appearing in all six of the original crew movies, directing Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, guest starring on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and being the only crossover actor in J.J. Abrams' reboots beginning in 2009. Beyond Trek, Nimoy was a genre film and TV staple, becoming a lead character in the Seasons 4 and 5 of Mission: Impossible, acting in and directing episodes of Rod Serling's Night Gallery, appearing in both The Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake in 1978 and Transformers: The Movie in 1986 as Galvatron, the new and improved Megatron. He hosted the amazing series In Search Of… about paranormal phenomenon and was never not up for being an ambassador of the nerdly pursuits.
His list of accomplishments are too long to list here, but suffice to say, Nimoy was one of the great proponents of science fiction and never shied away from the fandom that launched his career. He will forever be missed, but he was and will always be a friend to spacey kids everywhere. Now, enjoy some of my favorite Nimoy clips.
Even Nimoy's last tweet perfectly encapsulated his optimistic yet logical view of life. Live long and prosper.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP — Leonard Nimoy (@TheRealNimoy) February 23, 2015

Jennifer Lawrence "very, very rarely" feels attracted to someone.
The 'Joy' actress - who previously dated actor Nicholas Hoult and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - is currently single because she is very "picky" about who she wants to date.
She said: "I'm picky. I feel a spark very, very rarely. And it's really only about spark for me. Not really anything else. You should see some of the people I find attractive. You'd be shocked....
"I don't, like, date a lot. I don't meet a lot of guys who I want to go on a date with. I'll find a guy attractive maybe once a year."
But the 25-year-old beauty doesn't feel her life is lacking anything by being single.
She added in an interview with America's Glamour magazine: "I'm not a lonely person. Me not dating someone is not a lack of anything in any way.
"I feel completely fulfilled. Yes, when I spark with someone, it's exciting, but I definitely don't need that."
Jennifer also admitted she envies the relationship her 'Passengers' co-star Chris Pratt has with his wife Anna Faris.
She said: "Chris Pratt is always in a good mood. We laugh all day.... He's like a chocolate Santa. He's just like if a dog came to life and was like, 'I'm a great actor with a perfect face.'
"And he's got the most lovely family. When I met Anna, I was like, 'Go f**k yourselves.' I mean that in the nicest possible way. They're like a Nicholas Sparks novel - just like, 'Ewww! But I want it!' But he's also a great actor."

Fundamental Tips for Buying Property in Hollywood FL
If you're simply beginning to buy property, you'll find that there's a whole lot to discover. Property investing is extra complicated compared to purchasing supplies because of the monetary, lawful, and also extensive due diligence requirements involved. That's why it's a great idea to offer on your own a solid education prior to you buy your very first financial investment building.
Nonetheless, prior to you get your postgraduate degree, it's a good idea to acquaint on your own with the basics. To that end, right here are 5 standard pointers for buying real estate.
1. Place Issues
The old expression that "place matters" is most accurate when it concerns property investing. Prior to you shell out a deposit as well as placed yourself in a significant amount of financial obligation over a home, guarantee that it remains in a great location.
Search for the most awful house on the best street. That's a principle you'll find quite a bit as you explore more realty spending suggestions.
You wish to buy the worst residence on the most effective street because it offers you an opportunity to construct equity. It's a residential or commercial property in a terrific area (" the best street") that needs some work (" the worst house"). You could spend some money to fix it up as well as sell it to another person that wants a ready-to-move-in home in a wonderful area. Professional real estate investors call this "fixing and turning."
2. Try to find Wholesale Residences
Buying realty is much like investing in the stock market in a minimum of one method: you're trying to find the most effective deal. If you're a smart securities market financier, you most likely won't acquire a lot of supplies at their high if you plan on holding them for a long period of time. Instead, you'll adhere to the Warren Buffet principle of obtaining greedy when every person else gets scared. You'll get supplies that are beaten down as well as make a fortune when they reverse.
That's what you wish to do when it involves realty investing. Prevent paying "full cost" for residential properties. Rather, look for supposed wholesale properties that are provided at a high discount. Certain, they'll probably require some job. Run the numbers as well as see if the financial investment in rehab deserves the ultimate asking price.
As noted at ThinkConveyance: "You can conveniently invest $20,000 in a residential property as well as include twice that much to the asking price. That's why realty investing is so appealing to financiers that want to optimize their roi."
3. Comprehend the Tax Benefits
Individuals that run our government want exclusive financiers to provide real estate for individuals. That's due to the fact that they recognize that if exclusive capitalists don't offer real estate, after that the federal government will be accountable for it.
To that end, Uncle Sam uses considerable tax benefits to real estate investors. The most significant benefit, probably, is the devaluation write-off. When you buy an investment residential or commercial property that consists of a structure, you reach write off the depreciation of that building as a tax obligation deduction. You'll have to consult your tax consultant for specifics, however primarily you could expect to diminish a household structure over 27 years as well as an industrial building over 39 and also a fifty percent years.
The Internal Revenue Service views your actual estate financial investment efforts as a business so you additionally obtain to claim the "needed and also common" reductions that company owners take, consisting of home loan interest, insurance coverage, and also upkeep expenditures. Once again, it's a good idea to consult your tax obligation advisor concerning specifics.
4. Examine Your Credit history Report
You're greater than most likely mosting likely to should borrow money to purchase realty. That's why you ought to inspect your credit scores record before you start investing in realty.
If you have issues on your credit history record that are errors, get those fixed as swiftly as feasible. If you have issues that are genuine, after that you'll need to function to enhance your credit report.
Put simply, financial institutions aren't mosting likely to finance money to you for a building that's not your main residence as readily as they'll lend it to you for your own home. That's why your debt has to be stunning.
5. Utilize the "1% Rule"
If you're intending on getting a building that you'll lease one or more tenants, utilize the "1% Regulation" when you decide whether the residential or commercial property is worth the cost you'll spend for it.
The 1% Guideline simply states that an earnings creating property should produce 1% of the cost you pay for it on a monthly basis. For instance, if you're taking a look at getting a property for $150,000, after that the regular monthly rental revenue needs to be 150,000 x 1% = $1,500.
Covering It Up
Real estate spending offers the possibility for incredible returns. Individuals have actually additionally bankrupted themselves spending in actual estate. Make certain that you recognize what's entailed before you begin.
If you're simply beginning to invest in genuine estate, you'll find that there's a great deal to find out. Genuine estate investing is more complex than spending in stocks since of the monetary, legal, as well as considerable due diligence requirements entailed. Spending in genuine estate is just like investing in the stock market in at least one method: you're looking for the ideal deal. Actual estate spending uses the capacity for wonderful returns.

The 6 Stages of Modern Career Development
Career experts say that people will change careers (not jobs) 5-7 times in a lifetime.
This being true, career management is an important life skill to develop and cultivate.
There are six stages of modern career development:
Learning the characteristics of each stage will empower you to navigate through each stage easily and with more confidence.
In the Assessment Stage, you are getting ready for your life's work.
This stage is characterized by unawareness, in that you are not sure what your values, strengths, and weaknesses are. You start to feel like you want to know more about yourself and make a conscious effort to get in touch with who you really are.
Key characteristics:
In the Investigation Stage, you are researching what work exists in the world.
This stage is characterized by feelings of confusion, in that you are not sure what career options exist for you. You may feel overwhelmed with all of the different jobs and opportunities that exist as you begin the process of researching the modern world of work.

Philadelphia, PA - January 17, 2017 - Today, Howell Rosenberg, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Library Company of Philadelphia announced the election of Dr. Michael J. Barsanti as the Edwin Wolf 2nd Director effective February 20, 2017. Dr. Barsanti succeeds Dr. Richard Newman as the company's Chief Executive Officer. This appointment was made following a national search conducted by a leading executive search firm who worked in conjunction with trustees and staff of the Library Company, who have enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed this appointment.
Mr. Rosenberg stated that, "We are thrilled to have Mike join the Library Company's highly acclaimed staff of scholars, curators, and professional administrators. Mike's business and academic work will be among the keys to success that he will bring to us and we are thankful that we were able to attract such a high level professional. "
Dr. Barsanti holds a bachelor's degree from Williams College, a Master's degree from University of Miami, and a PhD in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania. He has led a distinguished career in the Philadelphia cultural community that includes positions at the Rosenbach Museum and Library, the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, and the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Drexel University and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Independence Charter School. His experience has been broad: in fundraising, program development, membership, marketing, and operations. Additionally, he founded Throwaway Horse, a company devoted to fostering a deeper understanding of literary masterworks by joining the visual aid of graphic novels with the aid of the internet and social media. He has worked closely on its flagship project ULYSSES "SEEN," a graphic novel adaptation of James Joyce's ULYSSES that brings the novel's deeper mysteries to a new set of readers. Dr. Barsanti lives in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia with his wife, Erin Mooney, and their three children.
According to Dr. Barsanti, "I am deeply honored to be chosen to be the next Edwin Wolf 2nd Director of the Library Company of Philadelphia. On Ben Franklin's 311th birthday, we can take pride in how his library has endured, and the idea it is based upon --improving a community through the sharing of knowledge -- has never been more relevant. I am eager to carry forward Dr. Franklin's great experiment and bring it to new learners from all walks of life, ensuring its continued relevance and its adaptation to a changing world."
About the Library Company of Philadelphia
Founded in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin, the Library Company is America's oldest cultural institution and served as the Library of Congress from the Revolutionary War to 1800. It was the largest public library in America until the Civil War and remains one of North America's most important research repositories. Today, the Library Company of Philadelphia is an independent research library and educational institution specializing in American and global history from the 17th through the early 20th centuries. Open to the public free of charge, the Library Company houses the world's largest holdings of early American collections with approximately one million rare books, manuscripts, broadsides, ephemera, prints, photographs, and works of art. The collections reflect the country's many faces and varied interests including African American history, economic history, women's history, the history of medicine, and visual culture. The Library Company promotes access to these collections through fellowships, exhibitions, programs, and online resources.
The mission of the Library Company is to foster scholarship in and increase public understanding of American history before 1900 by preserving, interpreting, making available, and augmenting the valuable materials in our care, thus providing meaningful stewardship of the legacy of founder Benjamin Franklin.

For digestive health, 3 grams of dietary fiber meet 20% of the recommended daily value. For brain and heart health, 5 grams of monounsaturated fats from almonds and almond butter.

Hallmark Pulls Hanukkah Gift Wrap Covered With Swastikas
Hallmark pulls holiday gift wrap after complaints of swastikas in design http://t.co/U3JVwD4nsX pic.twitter.com/3YelNphO0H
— Globalnews.ca (@globalnews) December 10, 2014
Hallmark Cards Inc. removed gift wrap from circulation after a customer complained that she saw swastikas embedded in the design.
The card company immediately alerted retailers about the issue Monday (Dec. 8) after receiving a complaint Sunday night from a customer who had shopped at Walgreens in Northridge, California.
Walgreens is no longer selling the paper that is distributed by Hallmark.
Apparently, the wrapping paper had been displayed in a holiday section where Hanukkah gift wrap was for sale. Hallmark spokeswoman Julie Elliot said that the paper was not intended for the Jewish holiday. Elliot also commented that the design of the wrap was an oversight that no one at Hallmark noticed.
Hallmark had to remove Hanukkah gift wrap from its shelves. Find out what it looked like!


text: Technical Specifications CONVEYOR BELT Currently the belt is manufactured in two (2) sizes: 800 Series (800mm wide) 1400 Series (1400mm wide) The Belts contains a two (2) ply Fibre reinforcement and factory molded triangular wedge profiles on both edges. (There is no steel cord or cable in our system) as the steel tends to 'delaminate' from the rubber, causing catastrophic failure. The belt is available in: Abrasive Resistant Rubber (ARR) Heat Resistant Rubber (HRR) Chemical Resistant Rubber (CRR) Fire Resistant Rubber (FRAS) NOTES: Minimum diameters are also applicable to Bend and Tensioning Pulleys. Space allowance for carrying and return belts are approximately as follows: 800mm belt -900 width x 750 depth and 1400mm belt -900 width x 1050 depth. The above technical information is intended as a guide for engineers to carry out preliminary study to see if the Premron EBS is for their requirements. Please feel free to refer any technical queries not covered above, to the Premron EBS Team. We will also assist without obligation, in the preparation of any layouts of existing or new plants to determine suitability. IDLER STATIONS Idler Stations are made from a solid, low cost Housing that mounts a pair of standard Conveyor Idler Rollers (cantilever design). The Idler Rollers are fitted with single row deep groove precision Ball Bearing that are 'closed for life' (no maintenance) and carries a B10 Bearing Life. The Inside Rollers fitted on a curve are manufactured from high grade HDPE giving better Belt wear on corners. Each Idler Station is located between 800-1200mm apart and may carry an addition Idler Roller mounted to the top of the belt wedge profile to ensure correct Belt engagement. DRIVE STATIONS The System has multi drives located at calculated positions along the Belt. They are generally 1.0-1.5kw Drives and are set in matched pairs on either side of the Belt. They are mounted from a low cost, light weight Drive Housing, which includes pre-set spring tensions that apply even pressure to the Drive Wheels that run on the belt wedge profile. The Drives are controlled via Inverters thru a PLC system that evenly load share all drives across the Belt. Some Drives are fitted with a Brake to ensure fast stoppage in an Emergency and/or Anti- Run Back. PULLEYS The system contains a Head Pulley (Discharge) and Tail Pulley (Take-Up) which is similar design to a standard Trough Belt Conveyor with the difference being a tapered end section to allow the belt wedge profile to locate. Due to the low belt tensions the Pulleys are light weight, contain smaller bearings and low cost. The Head Pulley is mounted horizontal while the Tail Pulley mounted vertically and contains the gravity Take- Up Trolley/Counter Weight Assembly. A Belt Cleaner can be easily mounted on the Head Pulley, though it is not important as product carryover does not effect the performance of the Belt, but may effect the thru put of the product (tph), in certain applications and medium. LOADING STATION The Belt is loaded via a 'dust free' Loading Station. The System gently opens the Conveyor Belt by splitting the wedge profile and carrying each wedge separately apart to an open position via UHMW Slides. The Product is loaded onto the Belt via a fixed displacement Feed System (Chain/Screw Conveyor; Rotary Valve or similar). The lower part of the Belt is supported via Impact Rollers and then carried forward where the wedge profile is returned to its closed 'sealed' position. The Load Station is fitted with a Level Detection Sensor to ensure the Belt cannot be over loaded. SAFETY/MAINTENANCE The Conveyor System is installed with a series of 'Safety-Pull Wires' for personnel protection. At ground level the System can be fully Guarded and Interlocked according to the site requirements. Rip Belt Sensors are also placed along the Belt to detect unforeseen occurrences. On the Pulley we can monitor Belt Speed via Rotation Sensors. A inline Weigh Scale System can also be fitted. As the System is low maintenance we don't require full personnel access along the Belt. This can be done cost effectively and safely via a 'elevated' work platforms all components above ground level are 'man handable' (low mass).

My new home absolutely bathes in light. I'm in love. It already feels like the most special home I've had. A place of peace. A place of dreams coming true.
Yesterday I made possibly the best tasting cake I have ever made. Today I got the first flowers here. Happy days.
(The pictures lie: boy, there's still so much to unpack and organize..)
200ml mulberries
200ml almond flour
good pinch of salt
1-3tbsp water, depending on how dry the mulberries are
175ml cashews, soaked overnight and rinsed
1 ripe banana
300ml blackcurrants
1-2tsp organic honey
vanilla powder
90 ml coconut oil, melted
blueberries for garnish
Grind mulberries in a food processor, add almond flour and salt and pulse a few times to mix. Add water while the food processor is running (you want a thick paste). Line the bottom of a springform tin (18-20cm) with baking paper and press the crust mixture firmly in the tin. Place the tin in the freezer to wait. Rinse food processor well. Blend cashews in the food processor until smooth and creamy. Add banana and mix. Add blackcurrants (it can be easier to add them in parts if they're frozen) and honey and vanilla and mix well. Last add melted coconut oil with the food processor running and mix until well combined and smooth. Taste and add more honey and/or vanilla if desired. Spread the topping evenly on the crust and freeze for an hour or two or until served. Remove from freezer 30 minutes prior to eating and top with blueberries.

OK, so sure Knight Squad hasn't been airing on Nickelodeon for long – it just premiered this month – but it really only took one episode to become completely obsessed. In case you're not familiar with the brand new series (which like, what the heck are you waiting for?), let us fill you in. For one, the show stars the fabulous Daniella Perkins, Owen Joyner, Lilimar, Lexi DiBenedetto, Amarr M. Wooten, Savannah May and more.
With a cast as awesome as they are, you could imagine how much fun they all have on set. Well, we can attest to that because J-14 hung out with the cast at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, California while the cast was rehearsing for an upcoming episode. Leading actors Owen (who plays Arc) and Amarr (otherwise known as Warwick) even gave us a little tour of the set. Watch the video above to see our behind-the-scenes Knight Squad set tour and exclusive interviews with the cast.
When it came to pinpointing what makes this Nickelodeon so special and different than anything the network has done before, Daniella seriously couldn't pick just one of her favorite things.
"Our cast is like very diverse and I think that's amazing. We have amazing stunts – we have so many stunts, and we do them ourselves, like a lot of them," she told us.
Lilimar chimed in, "It's pretty fun. They trained us on the first week before the first episode that we started shooting, taught us kind of the basics."
Wow, that sure does sound like a ton fun – we can't wait to see what's in store in the coming episodes.
