5 Key Considerations When Choosing A Cloud-Based CAD Software
To create a product, designers usually rely on computer-aided design software, making the entire process more seamless. However, with so many programs available, deciding which one to use can be difficult.
Cloud-based CAD software is increasingly gaining popularity for plenty of reasons. For one, it allows businesses, regardless of the industry they're in, to reduce costs. Also, cloud-based software promotes better collaboration, even if your employees are working remotely.
With that said, perhaps you want to make the switch to cloud-based CAD software. If so, then keep in mind these considerations first before choosing the one that suits your needs:
1. Learning And Resources
Since cloud-based CAD software is relatively new, expect that your employees may require sufficient time to learn the ropes. Hence, training and experience are required to successfully operate this type of software. As a tip, it's best to find a program that's user-friendly. This means you need to look for CAD software that has a nice-looking user interface.
However, if you don't have the sufficient amount of time and budget needed to purchase CAD software or even train your employees, it's best to outsource this particular task to professionals first. If you're one of our followers in South Africa for example, you can just google for IT company Johannesburg (or other cities in the country) and you'll find plenty of companies that can help you. This applies to anywhere in the world – you can find professionals in your area that can help you out. Also, by working with these professionals, you also have the opportunity to learn how this software works as you can easily ask any questions you may have.
2. Price
Even if a particular software has all the features your business needs, if it doesn't fit with your budget, then it's always best to find an alternative. Surely, you wouldn't want to burn a hole in your pocket on one particular aspect of your business operations. For instance, spending much money on software but little in your marketing area may only render the service you're offering useless. This is because you'll find it difficult to find clients in the first place. Thus, choose software that matches your budget.
Fortunately, due to the stiff competition, there are plenty of service providers out there that'll surely match your budget. All you have to do is conduct the proper research and always ask if there are any additional costs other than what they advertised.
3. Advantages And Disadvantages
You should also consider the benefits and drawbacks of the CAD software you intend to use and ensure that you understand them. Ideally, it must have more benefits than drawbacks. If it has more disadvantages, it's not a good idea to buy it.
As a tip, try to assess your business needs and match them with particular CAD software. If the software is able to complement your business needs, then it'll most likely help in your future endeavors.
4. Data Ownership
Data management has emerged as a major concern for law enforcement agencies. Your agency has constant access to its data with a cloud solution, but that data is in the hands of your service provider. So, if that vendor goes out of business, or if your agency decides to change vendors, you must be in a position to move your data to new vendors. You don't want a vendor to keep your data from you.
With that said, it's best to address this upfront with your vendor that your data is yours. The service provider is only there to store your data, and when you want to change provider, they should openly surrender all of your data. So, you must avoid vendors who won't allow you access to your data when you want to move.
5. Compatibility
When working with computers, you'll need to use some supporting software. To save time and reduce errors, avoid potentially translating files from one system to another when choosing CAD software. In short, it would be a good idea if CAD could work in conjunction with other software, eliminating the need to purchase one or two software.
The software's ability to import files for other systems is a significant advantage, so make sure the one you choose can support international standard files. This way, regardless of the file type you may encounter, you'll rest assured that the software will be able to run it smoothly.
To bump up the quality of your designs and business, these are some of the factors that you'll need to consider when selecting cloud-based CAD software. The considerations in this article will already suffice in ensuring you that you'll choose a cloud-based CAD software that suits your needs. With this, you're now one step to make your designs even better!

TAMPA — Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan has agreed to pay a $2,000 fine after admitting he violated state ethics laws by failing to properly disclose assets on annual financial disclosure forms.
Hagan made the admission as part of a November deal with the chief prosecutor for the Florida Commission on Ethics.
As part of that agreement, Hagan admitted that he failed to properly disclose financial investments during the reporting periods in 2009 through 2013.
Also under the deal, he promised to file disclosure forms correctly in the future and submit amended forms pertaining to each year of violation, something he has now done, the agreement said.
"After receiving the complaint, I reviewed the statutes and, unfortunately, I've been filing my disclosure incorrectly," Hagan said. "I filed my annual financial disclosure the exact same way for 12 years. Unfortunately, for 12 years, I've not provided enough specificity in identifying stocks, bonds and mutual funds that I own."
Because the commission considers only violations going back five years, it did not investigate Hagan's financial reports before 2009, though Hagan said that if the commission wanted to go back to 2002, he would "have no problem with it."
In all, the commissioner admitted in the agreement to improperly listing his investments on five financial disclosure forms.
Hagan, a Republican who was first elected to the County Commission in 2002 and won re-election to the countywide District 5 seat without opposition this year, said he accepts full responsibility and vowed to not make the same mistake again.
The agreement signed by Hagan on Nov. 17 must still be ratified by the full ethics commission.
The commission is set to meet Friday to consider the deal. Hagan said he's "hopeful" the panel will accept it.
Political activist George Niemann prompted the commission's investigation after filing a complaint in July. He alleged that Hagan failed to provide details about his investments on financial disclosure forms, which are required yearly of elected and other government officials, between 2002 and 2012.
"The instructions on the form are crystal clear," he said.
The complaint was "unquestionably" politically motivated, Hagan said. "The complainant has filed numerous complaints in the past, and unfortunately he's more concerned about grandstanding than good government," the commissioner said.
Niemann said he's satisfied by the agreement, though he'd prefer that Hagan formally admit to mistakes going back to 2002.
"In general, I'm happy that he's agreed to provide the information at least to 2009, and he is getting a financial penalty," said Niemann, who has no party affiliation. "He admitted to wrongdoing, and in future filings he will properly disclose."

As of 2013, Hagan's net worth was $981,663, according to his amended 2013 disclosure. He had $400,421 in a Wells Fargo investment account, which included $29,109 in McDonald's stock and $20,550 in AMC Entertainment stock. He also listed a $296,158 Wells Fargo money market account and a $219,990 UBS retirement account.

Leading homelessness charity St Mungo's to showcase gardening recovery scheme at RHS Chelsea Flower Show
Leading homelessness charity St Mungo's is excited to announce that it will be taking part in this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The charity has been given the opportunity to create one of the 'show gardens' at the world-famous event.
St Mungo's, which operates services supporting people to recover from homelessness across London and the South of England, is being backed by Project Giving Back which is generously funding the garden.
The St Mungo's Putting Down Roots Garden, which has been designed by award winning social enterprise landscape design studio Cityscapes, embodies the partnership between the two organisations as they work together to help people recovering from homelessness develop their confidence, learn new skills and rebuild their lives.
The garden will be one of the largest on-site and will be located on the prestigious Main Avenue at this year's event, which runs from 24 May to 28 May 2022. The St Mungo's Putting Down Roots garden is generously funded by Project Giving Back at no cost to St Mungo's.
St Mungo's Chief Executive Steve Douglas CBE said: "When you think about how to help people who have experienced homelessness, teaching them gardening might not be the first thing that comes to mind.
"But you'd be amazed at the change we see in people at Putting Down Roots. We have seen the important role that gardening activities can have on personal recovery and, furthermore, how horticulture can become a viable first step into employment for many people.
"There's something about being outdoors, learning a new skill and seeing all the hard work come to life which really brings out the best in people.
"We are so grateful to Project Giving Back and to Cityscapes for this amazing opportunity to showcase our fantastic Putting Down Roots project on an international stage, and we know that clients and staff will relish the opportunity. We are keen to follow the garden's progress, and to see it in all its glory at Chelsea."
Matt Woodruff, St Mungo's Horticultural Skills Manager, who runs the charity's Putting Down Roots programme, said: "Chelsea is the highlight of the gardening calendar and we thrilled to be able to be part of it.
"Planning is well underway with our clients already involved in preparing what we will need for the garden. It is so exciting for everyone to be part of such and amazing event."
St Mungo's and Cityscapes have worked together for 10 years, designing a series of 'Pocket Parks' and horticultural projects around London which are maintained by people from Putting Down Roots.
Darryl Moore, Cityscapes Director and co-founder, said: "We are delighted to be working with St Mungo's on this fantastic project. Over the last decade, we have seen first-hand the hugely positive effect Putting Down Roots can have on people as they recover from homelessness.
"We are so happy to continue to be able to empower St Mungo's clients, and to be part of such a wonderful event which will highlight the amazing work of Putting Down Roots."
The garden is an 'urban pocket park', highlighting how people and plants can be brought together in a city environment, and the ways in which green spaces provide personal and social, health and wellbeing benefits.
The design (seen in the image above) focuses on green textural foliage punctuated with floral accents of colour, giving the garden a gentle sense of tranquillity, contrasting with the vibrant colours in the pavilion and other features, which are all made from recycled materials.
Large planters throughout the garden provide a sense of height and enclosure, creating an immersive and safe experience for users. The pavilion and seating provide opportunities for reflection and respite from the pressures of city life.
Once the event is over, the garden will continue to provide social and environmental benefits when it is relocated to a new permanent home in London Bridge, where it will be enjoyed by staff, clients and the public for years to come.
St Mungo's has been running Putting Down Roots for 21 years and has gardens in London, Bristol and Leicester.
The innovative, award winning programme is entirely voluntarily funded, and provides vocational horticultural training to support people as they recover from homelessness and develop vital skills for employment.
During the last few years, the project has developed a number of successful 'training gardens', creating opportunities for people experiencing homelessness to undertake accredited qualifications and improve their wellbeing.
Find out more about St Mungo's Putting Down Roots by watching the following video.

Holiday Celebration vs Commercialism vs Christian Popularity
Every week I tend to meet up with a small group of Pagans. These Pagans range in age, gender, career, experience, and paths within Paganism.
Tonight we we discussing the different Pagan holidays. I found it particularly interesting to ask each person:
What do you do to celebrate this holiday?
What do you associate with this holiday?
If you don't celebrate this holiday why not?
As we (the whole group) went holiday by holiday I found it interesting that a large majority of people (myself included at times) celebrated a few "main" holidays.
Those holidays were:
I started to draw some interesting lines between things. All of these holidays fall in/around/near a Christian holiday OR a commercial holiday.
Ostara. Easter.
Beltane. Memorial Day. May Day (in some places)
Samhain. Halloween (widely accepted holiday even with Christians)
Yule. Christmas.
I asked the question:
Do you think perhaps we celebrate (we meaning the individuals in the group) simply because of familiarity with the Christian counter-part holiday?
Do you think we concentrate on these holidays because of the commercial appeal and overall 'acceptance' during this holiday?
Another point was raised that there are basically 4 celestial holidays. These holidays are based on a solstice or equinox. The other holidays are harvest holidays. These are based on harvest times of different crops.
One group member brought up the point that since we are no longer farmers/gatherers we don't have the same connection with the land as we once did. Now that we've got supermarkets and can get any variety of fruit and vegetables all year round we have little working knowledge of harvest type holidays.
Is this a good or a bad thing? To bring proper balance should we observe each holiday's counterpart?
These are all just thoughts/ideas I'm sharing. Feel free to chime in!
The answers were really interesting. I've been Pagan for the better part of 15 years. Perhaps even a few more, but I only consider myself a 15 year practitioner because I was still really super clueless during those first few years. During all my time as a Pagan I have also chosen some holidays which are 'high' holidays and some which aren't.
After hearing everyone else's feedback I then started to analyze my own observance of the holidays.
Did I not celebrate the others simply because of no personal connection – or – was I not celebrating simply because it was too much work?
I now bring the question here, to those who read this.
Are there holidays you don't celebrate? Do you abstain simply because you don't feel a connection to that holiday or is there another reason?
Today's Song
"Imbolc" is the 3rd track of Lisa Thiel's CD "Circle of the Seasons".
Lisa Thiel's homepage is http://www.sacreddream.com/home/
Many of you know that Imbolc (pronounced EM-bulk) is just around the corner!
What is Imbolc? Well, it is one of the 8 Sabbats. Its also sometimes called Candlemas. Think of it as the Spring starting to kick within the womb of Earth. It is a time to celebrate the lengthening of the days.
There are many traditional stories about Imbolc/Candlemas. Groundhog Day is a spin on an ancient Celtic tradition where they thought if the weather was nasty – the hag stayed inside and gathered no more wood for the winter (meaning Spring will come sooner). If the weather is lovely – then the hag is out gathering wood and Winter will last a bit longer. This is of course the Laymen's Terms. I tend to just give the basic idea so as not to drone on and on (I do that sometimes.)
This is the time of year (first couple weeks of February) that the ewes give birth en masse. In England they called it "Lambing Season".
Here is a list of things associated with Imbolc/Candlemas
Activities Usually done at Imbolc/Candlemas
- Light a candle in every window (never leave candles unattended! Just light one in the room you're in)
- Hiking and searching for signs of Spring
- Making Priapic Wands (wand made out of an acorn, ribbons, a stick, and a bell. Its meant to be phallic to represent fertility. Instructions to make one is below*)
- Feasting
- Bon Fires
(some) Deities associated with Imbolc:
- All Virgins/Maiden Goddesses
- Brighid
- Athena
- Gaia
- Gods of Love and Fertility (such as Eros)
Symbols of Imbolc/Candlemas:
- Purity
- Growth
- Re-Newal
- Fertility
- 'Out with the old – In with the new'
Herbs associated with Imbolc
- Angelica
- Basil
- Bay
- Blackberry
- Coltsfoot
- Iris
- Myrrh
- Amethyst
- Bloodstone
- Garnet
- Ruby
- Onyx
- Turquoise

Radio Facts:
Appreciating Toni Morrison's Literary Legacy – C. Imani Williams
Toni Morrison – February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019
The August 5, 2019 passing of 88-year-old Pulitzer and Nobel Literary prize winner Toni Morrison marks the transition of a literary icon. Whether one was introduced to Morrison's works through library books, in a high school or college literature course, or through Amazon, it matters that her books are read.
From Howard University Student to Howard Profesor
Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford, the Howard University graduate changed her name to Toni when schoolmates had difficulty pronouncing her given name. Morrison would return to Howard to teach after earning a Master's in Literature at Cornell University.
Queen Toni Morrison Wrote Truth With a Cape and a Crown
Morrison dared do what many other Black writers struggled with. Writing truthfully and soulfully about societal issues plaguing Black folks was and are radical. The idea of showcasing Blackness is ofttimes usurped with the desire for white acceptance. Morrison wasn't here to sugar coat things.
While Morrison's work focused on Black life, her characters could be any race or ethnicity. This may be one of the strongest arguments for people discovering Morrison's work at various ages and its inter-generational appeal.
Uncovering the Depth In A Bluest Eye
"The Bluest Eye", Morrison's first novel was published in 1970. The book was controversial due to Morrison sharing "in-house" business, and ignoring Black Respectability Politics. Such politics demand Black people keep their "dirty laundry out of the streets." Some denounced the in your face side-eye given through Morrison's ink to systematic oppression and racism facing Black people, and the intra-cultural shame of sexual violence and incest.
White folks weren't without their opinion on the matter. Morrison was a writing master and they had to get over it. She has had readers from all backgrounds because of her flow and un apologeticness.
Pecoal's Peculiar Situation Spoke to the InHumanity of Man
Through the main character, Pecola Breedlove, readers are taken through cycles of family dysfunction. Just a child, Pecola already poor and lonely, is cruelly driven to insanity. Her fall into mental illness, a direct result of the trauma from sexual violence suffered in her home, and the racism living outside her front door.
The evil of both worked in tangent to break down any sense of self-worth Pecola may have held. The self-hatred Pecola subscribed to, stained the pages of The Bluest Eye. It forces readers to understand the depth of self-loathing possible in the absence of self-love.
Truth is Still Truth
Fifty-years after the release of The Bluest Eye, Black people still face unsurmountable racism and oppression, and Black girls still aren't safe from sexual abuse. It was risky for Morrison in 1970, and there have been efforts to ban the book over the years. In response to critics of The Bluest Eye Morrison spoke her mind in 1994 by likening her book's reception to how Pecola was treated by the world. Morrison made the world see what the world did to a Black girl child.
Another Reason We Appreciate Morrison
It's another reason we appreciate Toni Morrison. What she saw in the everyday treatment of Black people while growing up during the Depression in 1940s Lorraine, OH was a catalyst to unlocking her gifts.
Morrison's legacy of publications includes five children's books, 11 novels, nine non-fiction works, two plays, and two short stories.
Morrison's works on feminism demanded inclusion and space for Black women. As an educator, scholar, and member of the Black community Morrison lent her voice to essays where she penned powerfully conscious works. As book critique and reviewer, Morrison didn't hold back. If she felt the writer was off point, her reviews reflected her lack of enthusiasm over the read.
A Cause for Black Love and Unity
What makes Morrison so remarkably relatable in a world of social media and Black folks coming together in unity, is her stance on Black Love and Community. That she insisted on there being safe spaces for Black girls, is extremely radical. With that demand, Morrison threw a lifeline to Black girls everywhere. Radical Black anything is not looked at kindly from a white supremacist or unenlightened Black folk point of view.
While Morrison raised two sons whom she loved dearly, she was also about " Black Love in Community". Holding a special place in her heart for Black girls and women. This theme carried over from novels and poetry onto the big screen and onto theatre stages. Morrison's commitment to craft and community says so much about who she was.
The Legacy of Greatness in Writing
How wonderful for the lucky souls blessed to have taken a writing or literature course with Morrison at the head of the class, at any point in her career. Watching Morrison win two of the most prestigious literary recognitions, helps aspiring writers reach higher. That kind of graceful fierceness pushes us all to do better. With Morrison's voice came an opening to better tell our stories.
Permission Granted to Women to Tell Their Stories
She gave Black people permission to tell our stories. She also showed the naysayers that despite what some say, Black stories and lives, do matter. When Beloved came out in print it was a heavy read. Saturday mornings at the beauty shop (salon) found women holding court about Setha and Denver, and what of the ghost baby?
Morrison Unafraid to Deal With Black Respectability Politics
When it hit the big screen and some Black people, again subscribing to Black Respectability Politics, couldn't get into it. The supernatural ain't Christian (even though those praying Sistas worked an exorcism), Oprah killing her baby, the horror of having her babies milk sucked from her breasts by white rapists, Her man leaving her to fend for herself. And Danny Glover, showing his ass again. Some just weren't yet ready. These were some Black people. Of course white folk had an even harder time with it.
Fans of Morrison's Work Always Showing Up
Readers and fans of both Morrison and Lady "O" did show up. Maybe not in Hollywood glow up terms. But in terms of community. We went, we supported and we reveled in amazement at the depth in the characters. We took in all that symbolism, and we saw our aunties and cousins, and for certain, Big Mamas.
I Am My Sisters Keeper
Morrison allowed Black women to be real as we worked to find ourselves. It is needed as we heal from the "isms" of the world. Watching Morrison and Angela Davis together was seeing Black Royalty. Their relationship as mentor and mentee, to friends, to Sistas is full-circle. It's "I Am My Sisters Keeper", in full effect. It's beautiful. With Morrison's passing comes an opportunity to love on one another in community.
Thank you, Queen Toni Morrison
Morrison has set the stage has completed with a job well done. She passes the torch and she's well known for telling people to write it, get it done. The voices of her characters are familiar, we know them. They are us and we are them. Morrison was able to take us back through history up to the present and teach along the way. Her characters breathed. Thank you, Queen Toni Morrison, for sharing your gifts with the world.

I then wanted my butterflies to be 3D so I stamped 2 more images on a different piece of cardstock.
I used a script stencil and over my word I ran clear gesso, so it added the texture of the stencil but didn't take away from my title. Used Mud Paste for the rest of the page.
On the back of the two additional stamped butterflies, spray your Colorations in your choice of pretty colors.
Cut out your two extra butterfly images.
Don't waste that paper with all those pretty sprays, Let's stamp some more smaller butterflies and once dry cut them out and put aside.
Here they are waiting to be placed on the journal page.
Take a piece of clear acetate and stamp some floral images, make sure your ink is completely dry and then cut around the images to add to your journal pages.
Take Metal Effects in Gold and give your page a nice swipe here and there over the tops of your stenciled script for dimension.
Here's a closeup of the stamped acetate that was applied using Glossy Accents to the page.
Now let's add some bling in coordinating colors, Using 3D Gloss Gel to adhere I added these pretty German Glass Glitters to the page.
Take your Metal Effects Gold and edge your chipboard numbers and edges of your butterfly wings.
For the center of the large butterfly I painted it with Metal Effects Gold and then sprinkled seed beads in gold also.
Attach your smaller butterflies and splatter water-downed white gesso over the top of your page for more interest.
And there you have it my "Confident" journal page. Wishing you a spectacular creative 2017. I would like to encourage you to create with confidence, try new ideas and techniques, think out of the box!

Before we introduce our product, let's look at our happy customers.
Colleen Graham of age 48 submitted this photo on her journey with Hana+ after using for 2 months. Congrats on the success!
"I love my new skin and I love what I see in the mirror. I've tried dozens of products and treatments but none worked better than Hana+. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
Colleen Graham
San Diego, California
"After her husband DIVORCED her because she was "TOO OLD" Dennis Abbott of age 55 promised to get revenge by getting the youngest, most beautiful face she has had in over 20 years. She considered cosmetic surgery but due to being evaluated as a "high risk patient" by her doctor she couldn't proceed. Then Hana+ changed her life in 10 weeks!"
Dennis Abbott
Phoenix, Arizona
Consist of 3 Key Ingredients For Anti Aging:
1. Mount Fuji' Cherry Blossoms Extract
2. Matrixyl 3000+ Complex
Japan's Sakura is an alluring ingredient in today's skin care. Mount Fuji' Cherry Blossoms Extract contains essential fatty acids that help repair the skin's natural barriers to promote collagen production for hydrated and supple skin. Also contains antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals and environmental aggressors. The antioxidant subdues the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGE), a toxin responsible for breaking down collagen and causing the signs of aging to appear.
Matrixyl 3000+ Complex penetrates deep into damaged skin and stimulates new collagen – a protein which makes skin appear plump and firm. It's all the rage in beauty circles, much in part because of a 2009 study stating, applying non-prescription Matrixyl 3000+ Complex to your skin caused a 60% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Harris said this is why this cream is so effective. It was one of the few products on the market that had Matrixyl 3000+ Complex in the right consistency and dosage.
He said the second piece, when combined properly with Matrixyl 3000+ Complex, literally makes your face look two decades younger in weeks! Argireline works by binding to moisture. It can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent natural skin plumper. Argireline helps your skin repair and regenerate itself after suffering from dryness, environmental stresses, or irritation. He said one of, if not the only products you can buy over the counter with an effective concentration of Argireline was found in the cream.
What makes Hana+ special:
- 5X more Collagen Strengthening than other similar products
- Scientifically Smoother & Tighter Skin
- Effective Detoxification and Purification
- Repairing & Moisturising at the same time
- Reduce Appearance of Fine lines & Wrinkles
- Reduce Dark Spots, Age Spots & Sun Spots
- Protects Against Sun Damage
- Immediately moisturize and fill wrinkles
"After the first week of using Hana+, I was surprised at how wonderful it made my skin feel. It felt like every last pore on my face was being tightened and pulled by a gigantic vacuum cleaner.
I don't know how else to describe it! I could feel a warm tingling sensation on my cheeks, around my eyes, and on my forehead. I looked in the mirror and saw that my face looked a bit rosy – the result of revitalizing blood rushing to the surface of my skin to renew my face.
After the product was absorbed into my skin, my face looked firmer and had a beautiful glow to it."
"After 4 weeks of using Hana+, I was shocked at the drastic results.
The lines, dark spots, and wrinkles - without question - were visibly reduced in size right before my eyes!
I was astonished by the results, and literally felt 10 years younger again. It was like watching all my wrinkles and fine lines vanish right off!"
The lines on my forehead, the loose, sagging skin on my neck, my crows' feet – even the age spots on my face had COMPLETELY disappeared. I've never felt or seen anything tighten my skin with this kind of force before, no matter how expensive the product!
"My skin looks incredible...even younger and smoother than when I was 35 - Thank you Hana+!" the grandma-of-two on her wrinkle transformation.
- Mount Fuji' Cherry Blossoms Extract, Matrixyl 3000+ Complex, Argireline, Botanical collagen, Hyaluronic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein
- For best results, apply to the face, neck twice per day.
- Apply in the morning and wait 3-5 minutes before applying a moisturizer, sunscreen, or makeup. Apply in the evening to clean skin for advanced skin repair while you sleep.
- For external use only.

The U.S. Senate passed historic immigration legislation yesterday that offers hopes of American citizenship to millions, promises a military-style surge to secure the border, and also should have a positive effect on horse racing and the horse industry.
The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, was approved on a 68-32 vote June 27. The American Horse Council (AHC) supports the bill, it said in a statement following the vote, "because it would fix many of the immigration issues facing the horse industry."
It will now be up to the House of Representatives to take action on this bill or their own version of a comprehensive immigration measure.
"The bill as passed would substantially increase border security and implement an employment verification system," the AHC statement said. "Most importantly for the horse industry, it would allow undocumented workers to legalize their status and replace the broken H-2A program with a new agricultural worker program administered by U.S. Department of Agriculture. It would also make improvements to the H-2B program and create a new W-visa low-skilled program that would allow employers to hire foreign workers when no Americans can be found."
The bill, a priority for President Barack Obama, would amount to the most sweeping changes in decades to the nation's immigration laws.
"The difficulty horse farms, horse shows, trainers, and others have had recruiting American workers has forced many to rely on foreign workers," said the AHC, and use "both the H-2B and H-2A temporary foreign worker programs to meet t

It never ceases to amaze me how many businesses and nonprofits continue to use Twitter as a broadcasting mechanism. They think that Twitter is simply a place to amplify messages about themselves, push out specials, push out events, push out articles about themselves, push, push, push… Twitter is not television. It is not a free way to push a marketing message to people that really didn't want to hear it anyways. The old way of marketing does not work when using social media. Yet, over and over again this is what business and nonprofits are doing. And they are failing. I don't care if you have 1,000 followers or 1 million, it means nothing if they are ignoring you and believe me, they are ignoring you when you continue to use twitter to market to them like they are mindless idiots staring at a screen simply waiting to read your message. They are not! The main excuse I have heard from many businesses and nonprofits is that they simply don't have the resources to use Twitter to engage and connect with people. My answer: If you don't have the resources to do something right, I would encourage you not to do it. Doing something poorly does not help your business or cause and it may even hurt it. A business should not consider social media marketing unless they are willing to make an investment in it. Even though most social media tools are free, using them correctly requires time and effort. There is a cost involved…it's your time and the time of your employees. Social media can be a much less expensive way to market your business, but do not think you are getting anything for free. You are not! So what am I saying here? Nonprofits and businesses need to figure this out. If you are going to be in a social media space, learn how to use the tools effectively. Don't waste even one moment tweeting if you do not have the resolve and belief that this tool is an awesome and powerful tool if used strategically. If you are not fully committed to learning how to use this tool correctly and devoting resources to using the tool effectively then don't use it. Your business reputation is on the line; so do not go into this without a plan and the resources to do it correctly. Check out this post where I will give you some simple tips to start using Twitter for marketing effectively…you didn't think I would leave you hanging with no hope did you?

In a testament to the wealth of professionalism we have in Crozet, two residents have recently been called to duty by the state of Virginia.
On August 21, Governor Ralph Northam appointed Bill Kittrell, Deputy State Director of the Nature Conservancy in Virginia, to the Board of Directors of the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA). The VRA was created in 1984 and meets quarterly in Richmond.
"The VRA provides cost-effective financing to localities and enterprises across the state to help support infrastructure development, land conservation, and community services," explained Kittrell. "They provide funding for land acquisition to protect the water supply, for example. As a board member, I hope to expand on these services. The Nature Conservancy has borrowed twice from VRA to finance land acquisitions in Virginia with low interest loans, so I will bring some expertise to debt financing."
Kittrell was born in Greenville, N.C., and received degrees in biology and economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He recently stepped down after nine years as White Hall representative on the board of the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA). He has been with the Nature Conservancy for 29 years. The Nature Conservancy (www.tnc.org), with its main Virginia office in Charlottesville, is an international conservation organization that works to protect biodiversity around the world. "We work toward land conservation, protection, and management across state," said Kittrell. "The best couple of examples of The Nature Conservancy's work in Albemarle and Nelson Counties would be our Fernbrook Preserve and Fortune's Cove Preserve. Both of these are really nice places to visit on any day of the week. Fortune's Cove, south on Rt. 29, has an ambitiously steep trail that will get your blood moving, while Fernbrook, in northern Albemarle, offers a more intimate and peaceful expedition through a nice forest down to the Rivanna River."
On September 11, Governor Northam reappointed Laura Duckworth, Director of Occupational Programs at the University of Virginia, to the Virginia Apprenticeship Council (VAC), administered by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI). She joined the Board in 2018 to replace a retiring member. The VAC meets quarterly in Richmond or Hampton Roads.
The VAC consists of eleven members who oversee the standards of Registered Apprenticeship programs throughout the state. They serve in an advisory capacity and provide guidance on Registered Apprenticeship practices that help maintain high quality work-based learning in the Commonwealth. "The VAC works with DOLI to make sure we are bringing the needs of employers to their attention," Duckworth explained. "We are a voice for the community, serving as consultants to provide guidance in designing apprenticeship program regulations as well as promoting the value of apprenticeship across the Commonwealth."
After managing the Occupational Safety and Health program for George Mason University, "I was hired by U.Va.'s Facilities Management Department six years ago to help to grow their safety culture. When the University restructured the Human Resources Department, I was offered the opportunity to manage and grow Facilities Management's apprenticeship program. Our apprenticeship program provides an opportunity for people to learn and earn at the same time. Our programs foster employees' career enrichment as well as their personal and professional health and well-being. We have many partnerships in the community, including educators; for example we partner with local centers for technical education like CATEC as well as local high schools to showcase non-college track opportunities that provide lucrative careers, and great programs like PVCC's Network2Work that help employees overcome obstacles that might make it hard to get a job, including training. We emphasize diversity, equity, and inclusion. It has been a very successful program for over 37 years.
"I am passionate about workforce development," Duckworth continued. "Apprenticeship programs create regenerative pipelines for both businesses and individuals. We are looking for the skilled person who is interested in growing in their profession. As a VAC board member, I hope to connect workforce boards and local committees as well as connect companies and individuals to resources and grants."

By Christy Gutowski
What began as a provocative presentation to an FDA advisory panel on Wednesday night has now turned into a furious public debate that has pitted proponents of expanding the use of Pfizer Inc.'s experimental drug against critics who worry that rheumatoid arthritis sufferers are already undertreated and be diluted by what they call an overly optimistic view of Pfizer's.
The panel, consisting of more than 20 physicians and researchers, spent more than six hours hearing from Pfizer and its leading opponent: the Arthritis Foundation, a nonprofit group that bills itself as a leader in arthritis research and advocacy.
When the panel agreed unanimously at the end of the night that rheumatoid arthritis patients should not be tested in patients younger than 65, the conversation switched into hyperdrive.
Based on data they presented, Pfizer is pitching to expand the use of tafamidis, an experimental drug, to the wider rheumatoid arthritis patient population. After dozens of other drug companies failed to make a mark with rheumatoid arthritis, the FDA in 2013 approved biologic drugs — extremely potent treatments that are taken in pill form — after these companies had showed better results in clinical trials in smaller patient populations.
But activists, including those representing patients on the panel, questioned Pfizer's optimistic view of how older patients — many of whom are Tofranil patients — could benefit most from the drug.
"If this disease is so hard to treat, why does the drug need to work harder and faster?" asked Dr. Barbara Stafford, chair of rheumatology and immunology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, one of the panelists.
If approved, tafamidis would be the first biologic in treatment to be tested to show efficacy in a patient population that falls outside the guidelines for the FDA's working medicine (RM) program, according to Pfizer. A working medicine program monitors safety and efficacy of clinical trials and FDA approval.

If your bath towel isn't quite fitting your needs, you might prefer its alternative: the bath sheet. Bath sheets are like bath towels, but they're a bit bigger. A standard bath towel is 27 inches by 52 inches while bath sheets usually run around 35 inches by 60 inches.
Here's what you need to know about a bath sheet vs. bath towel.
Benefits of Bath Towels
One of the primary benefits of bath towels is they generally cost less than bath sheets. But they're still of the same quality as their bath sheet counterparts. So if one towel is enough to get you comfortably dry after a shower or bath, then there's no reason to spend extra on a bath sheet. In addition, when it comes time to replace your towels, you won't feel as bad letting go of a bath towel as you might a more expensive bath sheet.
Another benefit of a bath towel is for drying your hair. If you like to towel-dry your hair or wrap it up in a towel after a shower, a bath sheet is likely too big for this. But a bath towel can be the perfect size.
Bath towels also are easier to fit on bathroom towel bars and hooks. And they store more easily. They also make it easier to fit multiple towels in a shared bathroom. Plus, they take up less space in the washer and dryer, and they dry more quickly than a larger bath sheet. Furthermore, if you move frequently, bath towels are smaller and lighter to pack up and take with you.
Benefits of Bath Sheets
Many people consider bath sheets to be a luxurious experience. Because they have more surface area to absorb water, they tend to remain drier and fluffier as you towel off after a shower or bath. So if you want to treat yourself to a cozy towel-drying experience, opt for a bath sheet.
In addition, because there's more surface area for absorption, bath sheets can often do the job more efficiently than bath towels. So if you're in the habit of grabbing two towels to dry yourself after a shower or bath, or you find that it's tough to get dry using just one bath towel, you might want to consider switching to a single bath sheet.
Furthermore, if you like to wrap a towel around your body after a shower or bath, a bath towel could be a tight fit, depending on your body type. So you might find the larger bath sheet to be more comfortable.
Generally more affordable
Easier to hang and store
Can be used for towel-drying hair
Takes up less washer/dryer space
More absorbant
Can take the place of two bath towels
Feels luxurious
Good for wrapping around body
Bath Sheets vs. Beach Towels
You might wonder whether beach towels are as good as bath sheets, as they're also oversized. Beach towels are indeed larger than bath sheets, designed so someone can lie down on the beach without having to touch the sand.
However, most beach towels have much less material than bath sheets (and bath towels) for several reasons. First, when you're on the beach, you don't rely as much on the towel to get you dry because you have the benefit of the hot sun. Second, a strong and thin towel is easy to use as a means of brushing sand off your body. Third, the thinness of a beach towel makes it easier to fit inside a beach bag, especially given its large surface area. It also allows it to dry faster, so you don't have to transport a soggy towel.
As a result, beach towels are much less absorbent than bath sheets, and they're not as cozy and comfortable to use for towel-drying on a regular basis. Thus, they are best kept for use on sunny days outdoors.
How should you launder towels?
Always check the towel label for washing instructions. In general, separate whites and colors, and use the warmest water setting recommended. Avoid using excess detergent, as well as fabric softener with every wash, as it can build up in the towel fibers and affect absorbency.
What's the best way to dry a towel to prevent mildew?
Shake excess water out of the towels after washing them. Then, dry them promptly in the dryer on the warmest setting recommended on the towel label. Alternatively, you can dry them on a clothesline in a sunny spot with good air circulation. The key is that they dry quickly to prevent mildew from developing.
Can you use a beach towel as a bath towel?
A beach towel can be used as a bath towel in a pinch. But beach towels generally are thinner and less absorbent than bath towels, so they won't dry you as effectively.

Ken Vandermark is an American jazz composer, saxophonist, and clarinetist. A fixture on the Chicago-area music scene since the 1990s, Vandermark has earned wide critical praise for his playing and his multilayered compositions, which typically balance intricate orchestration with passionate improvisation. He has led or been a member of many groups, has collaborated with many other musicians, and was awarded a 1999 MacArthur Fellowship. He plays tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet, and baritone saxophone.
Live in Sant' Anna Arresi
Summit Quartet
"Recorded at the Ai Confini tra Sardegna e Jazz Festival in Sant' Anna Arresi in September of 2016, this first time meeting between four of the most active members of the improvised music community did much more than live up to its "all star" expectations. Hamid Drake, Luc Ex, Mats Gustafsson, and Ken Vandermark presented a concert of cutting edge music that shifts and turns with constant surprise, built on the incredible rhythmic foundation provided by Hamid and Luc and the burning frontline of Mats and Ken. The Summit Quartet came back to Sardinia this September for a return engagement, celebrating the release of this album with a performance that burned with all the fire indicated on this LP."
Back In the Game
Syl Johnson
"In 1993, a 57-year-old Syl Johnson made a long overdue return to the studio with Back in the Game, his first album since the early '80s. "Inspired" is definitely a word that describes Johnson's performances on this CD, which unites him with the legendary Hi Rhythm Section of the '70s. Joined by drummer Howard "Bulldog" Grimes and the Hodges brothers (guitarist Mabon, bassist Leroy, and organist/pianist Charles), including Ken Vandermark."
New Horse For the White House
Territory Band-5
"The Territory Band 5's triple-CD A New Horse for the White House (october 2005) featured Fredrik Ljungkvist, Dave Rempis, Axel Doerner, Johannes Bauer, Per-Ake Holmlander, Jim Baker, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Lasse Marhaug, Kent Kessler, Paul Lytton, Paal Nilssen-Love, and offered four lengthy postmodernist games: Fall With A Vengence, Untitled Fiction, Corrosion, Cards. (The third CD includes live versions of the same pieces)."
Territory Band-6 with Fred Anderson
"Collide is Ken Vandermark's sixth release for his transatlantic small big band (or is it a large small group?) of American jazz meets European improvisers. Unlike the prior sessions, this disc is comprised of a single composition, divided into five parts."
All Night Burner
The Crown Royals
"This instrumental Chicago quartet plays a funky, low-down, utterly addictive combination of rock, blues and jazz, one that seduces the listener with captivating grooves and rock-solid rhythms. -Chicago Tribune"
