Weaker rand holds up mining industry says PwC
Explore BDlive (Nov 11 2014) Manufacturing & Automotive , Resources , Metals & Minerals
The weaker rand helped to offset financial pressures facing the mining industry in the year ended June 2014, PricewaterhouseCooper's (PwC) SA mining report has found.
"The industry was somewhat rescued by the weak rand," PwC energy and mining assurance partner Dion Shango said on Tuesday. This was viewed as only a temporary respite because it would lead to inflation and cost pressures.
The total revenue for the mining industry, as reported by Statistics SA was R351.3 billion, marginally increased from R345.4bn the previous year but down from R358.4bn in 2012.(Read Full Article)

Iron-ore prices to hit Kumba profit
Explore BDlive (Nov 6 2014) Resources , Metals & Minerals
KUMBA Iron Ore, SA's largest producer of the ingredient to make steel, has warned that its full-year earnings will be at least R3bn lower than last year because of falling prices.
Kumba, which operates two large iron-ore mines in the Northern Cape and the smaller Thabazimbi mine in Limpopo, said yesterday its earnings for the year to end-December were lower than before because of the drop in export prices.
Iron-ore prices have fallen to about $77 a tonne for ore with a 62% iron content, with enormous supplies pouring into the market from Australia and Brazil.(Read Full Article)
Platinum stock above ground remains a puzzle
Explore BDlive (Oct 20 2014) Manufacturing & Automotive , Resources , Metals & Minerals
Investors are unlikely to rush back into platinum any time soon after a minimal price reaction to its biggest supply shock highlighted a major problem: no one knows how much metal exists above ground or, more importantly, who holds it.
Analysts predicted a surging market as a record five-month labour stoppage in top producer SA wiped out more than 1-million ounces of output worth $1.28bn. Yet platinum, used mostly in automotive catalytic converters which clean up exhaust emissions, also failed to react to a 2.4-million ounce accumulation of metal into exchange-traded funds since 2010. The metal has lost ...(Read Full Article)

There is a slight problem for Ms Powley…the court documents, which presumably she has never read, but the rest of the┬Ājournalists┬Āin the country have state very clearly that his full name is Antonie Ronnie Dixon.
Did the police get it wrong when they arrested him and announced it? Did the courts get it wrong when he was convicted? Did the High Court get it wrong when hee appealed? Is Wikipedia wrong?
Was his lawyer Barry Hart wrong too? Or was he just setting everyone up for a fall so he could get his client off because all the documents presented to the courts were spelled incorrectly.
Or is Kathryn Powley just so full of shit it calls into question everything she has ever written.

Lil' Bling
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
The quality of this pet was changed from uncommon to rare in patch 6.0.2. Uncommon Blings that were in your pet journal were converted to rare, but caged pets that were left in your bags or in the bank didn't get converted to rare. If you put an uncommon Lil' Bling into your pet journal, it will be converted to rare quality after a server restart.
Got mine today Rare, its my halloween present, cant wait to try
I got it and it was rare not green so it just luck of the draw
i have a lvl 6 of these.the coins are really good,but only do it once and a while when it stops.im like WOW!!!when i got him,to know that somebody who hadd played longer then me didnt have one!lol.lil' bling comes out of the blue and white present u get from the blingatron each day.itll take a while,but ull get it.an engenier can summon a blingatron.if u have a engenier friend,ask him/her to summon one for u.hope this helps u get the mecanical pet lil' bling!!!
Extra Plating is extremely useful with any mechanical pet. They stay alive forever, even the S/S Lil' Bling. If by chance you aren't faster than your opponent Make It Rain still pulls 300-400 damage with only a 1 round cool-down, so he holds his own when slower but when faster than the opponent is when he really shines with SMACKTHAT.exe
With 325 speed it's one of the fastes mechanical pets there is, and that is very useful in negating opponents that uses attacks which get bonuses from striking first. If you use extra plating it will be very durable, high speed will often give you one extra turn of protection. Gift package is more useful against birds, hitting very hard, even though it can be a bit unpredictable if you know when your opponent is going to use avoidance move you can plan for a heal instead.
got mine today from blingtron, to bad its only green, but still awesome pet XD
Trying to get Blingtron every day and this one has dropped from last 3 Blingtrons I've taken and 1 time before those. Too many Lil' Blings!
Well after getting junk in all my Blingtron presents it was nice to actually see something worth while in there. Just opened this little guy a few mins ago :-D
One of my guildies got two and gifted me one. I feel super lucky. It was so nice of him to share.
Got him and i had a mech in bag few weeks now and now it come to use. and i giggle always when he do "Smackthat.exe" attack, do gnome dance and smacking aye check next time u fight with him
My 8yr old comes screaming in my bedroom I GOT A NEW PET FOR US! When I seen it was this pet from a Blingtron 4000 I was thrilled! Figured let him use his Pokemon skills on wow! It's working so far! Lol
Took my friend and I each about 6 weeks of daily Blingatron 4000 to get the pet to drop. We are both Engineers but I don't think that is necessary. Keep trying. 2% drop is not that bad.
Perhaps you guys were just lucky. I have a Blingtron and have used it everyday since the patch and still no little bling from the package. I have him now but only because I bought him from the AH lol.
Got this guy right after the patch, Found a Blingtron 4000 on my 1st trip to timelss isle, And got a lil bling in the gift package :)
Just logged in today, first Blingtron 4000 and first package-- Lil' Bling!! I agree, I think the drop rate is higher than estimated.
While Wowhead is showing a dautingly low drop rate for this guy off of the gift package, don't be discouraged. That number is off of all the loots from the package ever, so as new ones are opened and new drops are accounted for, the ratio is steadily rising (several days ago 0.02%, now 0.07%. I don't know what the true drop rate of this guy though!).
Absolutely a must-have for most of the legendary beast-type pets, including Xu-fu and Zao in the Celestial Tournament! When Lil' Bling's Make it Rain and Inflation are combined with the weather effect Call Lightning, it makes extremely short work of any beast!
Here is a video I made showing off Bling and his pet battle attacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slaZ-q2eKlc
I logged on Tuesday (Patch day) and got it the first
present I opened.
Fair warning.. he is "uncommon" aka green quality when you learn him.

Infosec boffins meet to plan nuke plant hack response
Stuxnet gave the world a graphic demonstration just how high the stakes can be when malware hits machinery. This week, the world is starting to plan a response to an even scarier incident, in which an online attack is aimed at a working nuclear or radiological facility. Leading the fight is the International Atomic Energy …
Defeating online attacks is simple...
Keep the systems offline.
Cheques to the usual address please.
Re: Defeating online attacks is simple...
It's not quite that easy, as the Stuxnet attack on a radiological facility showed.
If you can infect the computer that programs the facility, you can use that to corrupt the PLCs that actually run the place later on.
Effectively a kind of sneakernet.
Which is worrying, and why I'm fairly paranoid about my laptop!
Stuxnet was aimed at a working nuclear or radiological facility. Not an actual nuclear reactor of course, but surely uranium enrichment still fits the definition.
Re: Stuxnet
Yeah, but that was only Iran so it didn't count.
Or something.
America and Israel thought Stuxnet was a pretty good idea.
But then America also thought the Afghans were too
stupid technologically challenged to read their (unencrypted) drone video feeds.
In mythology Nemesis punishes those who harbour false pride in their achievements.
Or to put it another way pay back will be a b**ch.

The final nail in the coffin
Is a company bankruptcy 3,000 miles away in Germany the final nail in the coffin for Dubai's brash vanity developments? Kipp is praying it is.
January 16, 2011 2:41 by Samuel Potter
Well what do you know: It turns out that simply taking a famous person's name and attaching it to a building is not a guaranteed way to make millions. Kipp's uncle Mervyn, who recently renamed his villa "David Hasselhoff Bay", will be most disappointed.
How can we say this for sure? Because news has broken that the largest German fund for property investors in Dubai has declared bankruptcy on four of its seven funds.
Alternative Capital Invest (ACI), based in Gütersloh, Germany, said that "due to the balance of the funds the declaration of bankruptcy is evident and legally required," reports Gulf News.
Apparently German magazine Focus quoted ACI's founder (who has resigned as CEO) as saying that the insolvency has come about thanks to "inevitable depreciation of the projects' asset value". Losses are thought to be in the region of 70 million euros.
Bet you're wondering what all this has to do with uncle Merv and his Hasselhoff-monikered two bed. Well ACI was the company intent on "tower branding." It was behind developments named after celebrities including Formula One legends Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda and tennis champion Boris Becker. Yep, you remember now. As the paper observes, massive ad campaigns were running for the developments pre-crisis. Those particular projects were known as Michael Schumacher Business Avenue, Boris Becker Business Tower and Niki Lauda Twin Tower. Now, while they aren't totally sunk, they are among a number of ACI projects stalled with unknown prospects of completion.

text: Bill O'Reilly Thunders Against Al Sharpton's 'Garbage' in Ferguson Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 21 Aug 2014 post a comment Fox News Host Bill O'Reilly exploded at Al Sharpton on his program Tuesday night, calling him a "charlatan" that has been delivering "garbage" in response to the police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. "Al Sharpton has the nerve to insult the American police community, men and women risking their lives to protect us. This charlatan has the gall to do that and NBC News is paying him? he asked, "My god. Why is this acceptable?" O'Reilly said that he returned from his vacation early because was "furious" about how the events in Ferguson were being reported. He reminded his audience that he believed that there should be a federal investigation and that the American justice system should be allowed to work. Only one side of the story was being reported," O'Reilly said, noting that the media was terrified when reporting on racial issues. Additionally, O'Reilly reminded his audience that on Monday night only four people of the 78 people that were arrested were from Ferguson. "The liberal media will never report that, nor will they report the true picture of criminal justice in the USA," O'Reilly said, "Instead, NBC News pays Al Sharpton to deliver garbage like this." O'Reilly approved of police officials releasing the video of Brown robbing a convenience store, pointing out that it was important to the case as it demonstrated his state of mind when he was approached by police officers. "Facts are not smears," O'Reilly said, calling the way the media was reporting the story as "beyond belief." O'Reilly reminded his audience that Sharpton accused Officer Darren Wilson of shooting Michael Brown in the back, which was demonstrably false, according to the autopsy. "To the race hustlers, Officer Wilson is already guilty; they have already convicted him," he said, "Their slogan is no justice, no peace. I guess that's lynch mob justice … They don't really care what happened, they want Officer Wilson punished." O'Reilly argued that Wilson was entitled to a fair trial. "Officer Wilson is entitled to the presumption of innocence that we all have under our Constitution, something that Sharpton will never give him because Sharpton only cares about his self aggrandizement and if he has to stoke racial hatred to get that," O'Reilly said. "That's what he will do. I know this man." O'Reilly admitted the the American justice system could be flawed, as demonstrated by the O.J. Simpson trial, but that it was all that Americans had. "It's the only thing separating us from the anarchy that Al Sharpton and others want to impose," he said. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com

Bowling Alley cuisine
Looking for a fun place to celebrate my birthday and have this image of a nice (non-smoky, maybe adults only) bowling alley that serves more than just beer and pizza. Does this exist? Perhaps good cocktails and tasty appetizers to enjoy while bowling some strikes. I live in the Valley but would be willing to travel over the hill for something good. Any suggestions?
I like Lucky Strike in Hollywood. Their food was surprisingly decent. There's also a back room if you prefer a more private function, with easy access to its own restrooms and the far lanes.
re: ipsedixit
Since 101 Dumplings is in the same center, maybe they could cater!
re: Chowpatty
You mean "101 Noodle Express" right?
Don't tell me ANOTHER dumpling shop opened up ...
re: ipsedixit
That's what I meant, I'm melding my dumpling shops.
Lucky Strike is exactly what you're looking for. Ok food, adult space, and cocktails. It's really pretty nice.
There is also a Lucky Strikes in Torrance - I've been to both Hollywood and Torrance locations, and the Torrance location is a little nicer.
re: Ogawak
Do either one of these serve cocktails and / or appetizers?
re: Servorg
Can't speak for Pepe's, but KJ's does serve cocktails and has a great menu for appetizers
Kj's Family Restaurant
8731 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
re: Servorg
Pepy's Galley is fantastic. They don't serve cocktails but there is a bar adjacent to the diner in the bowling alley and people are welcome to bring in drinks from there. I had a bloody mary with my breakfast there on Sunday morning. The best chilaquiles I've ever eaten.
re: hrhboo
How are the chilaquiles served at Pepy's? I tried them for the first time in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago from a stand at the Ferry Bldg farmer's market. They were served with scrambled eggs, creamy refried beans, avocado and a smoky and fiery red salsa. So simple and so delicious. I've been craving them ever since!
re: hrhboo
had chili cheese fries while bowling at mar vista this weekend and they were pretty darn good. solid! $3.50 an order....iirc.
their nacho's are ok as well. but they tasted much better as my beer consumption increased.
re: wilafur
The chilaquiles are prepared simply with a very flavorful red sauce and lots of cheese. They are spicy and gooey and soggy and crunchy all at the same time. They are served with either potatoes or beans and you can order scrambled eggs on the side. Their salsa is excellent.
Pepy's has fantastic machaca too. Stay far away from the breakfast burrito, it is nowhere near as good as the other breakfast items and contains iceberg lettuce (?!)
My friend had the prime rib and eggs which was very very good. Pepy's is cash only.
re: hrhboo
Thanks for replying Boo. I'll definitely try it!
re: Ogawak
2nd Pepe's Mar Vista
I don't know its name, but the restaurant in the bowling alley across the street from the civic auditorium in Santa Monica is one reason we don't mind driving from Pasadena to attend functions there. It's more a coffee shop than a restaurant in size and character, though they do serve full meals, but the quality of the grub and the friendliness of the room and staff have always been outstanding. Caveat: I think it's been over two years since we were there last, so someone else might want to jump in here if any of this has changed.
re: Will Owen
That space used to be Cafe Beignet and served some great New Orleans influenced grub but that was back in the 80's and I think the owners sold it. I have not been back since those day's, maybe I should give it a try again???
re: sel
We first discovered the place in 2000, the year we moved out here, so it has changed since you knew it. As I say, I don't recall the name, but I do not believe it's NOLA-flavored anymore. One thing I do recall is seeing braised lamb shank on the menu, and thinking we ought to find some way to have dinner there! As we were there for lunch, and pinching pennies besides, we stuck with the excellent sandwiches.
re: Will Owen
what about the Gutter Cafe in Mr T.'s bowl , suppsoedly it's gourmet coffee shoppe eats.
re: Will Owen
Well "...excellent sandwiches..." is enough to get me back!
re: monkuboy
Went to Tak's and it didn't seem the same. Or maybe the Holiday Bowl noodles weren't quite as good as I thought they were back then.
re: Chandavkl
High school memories does have a way of coloring things, huh? Lol..
Although I haven't patronized Lucky Strike Lanes I have been inside the one in Orange. It's definately an 'upscale' adult version bowling alley. And I think pretty pricey to boot. They don't even list their menu items prices at their website. Definately not your 'typical' bowling alley 'coffee shop style' cuisine served here. You can check out Lucky Strike Lanes at their website link below. There is a Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood according to their website. Not too far for you to travel.

It's not often that the local acts almost outweigh the international heavy weights, and yeah, while nothing can overshadow the almost legendary status of Public Enemy, quite a few of the local stars of 2012 GTM sure showed they can hold their own.
From the very start of the festival day, the order of business at Groovin The Moo (GTM) Canberra was to have a relaxed good time. While some punters at GTM only wore tiny tees and short shorts to brave the max of 12 degree Celsius, everyone was determined to stick out the cold, dance around and enjoy themselves at what has been referred to as one of "the last decent music festivals" (anon).
Being a GTM newbie, I didn't know quite what to expect. The lineup was diverse and impressive, while the setting felt rural and easy. There was none of this winding around through corridors or alleyways to find the next stage. Everything was easily laid out in the natural amphitheatre of the meadows with many punters finding a spot on the hill in the sun to soak up the sounds and atmosphere.
At the Moulin Rouge stage, Ballarat five-piece Gold Fields took to the stage with triumphant energy and a stack load of drums. They were followed by local legends Hermitute, and relative newcomers Naysayer & Gilsun did their dub step pop culture mash-ups.
Mat Corby hypnotised and wooed the audience with his blend of soulful blues folk anthem Brother and ethereal psychedelia that's earned him comparisons with Jeff Buckley.
The hilarious Andrew W.K. burst onto the stage to a small gathering of curious fans. His enigmatic calls to party, 'ÄúIn case you can't tell I am not a musician, this is not a concert, I am a partyer!'Äù were well received, with the audience growing in enthusiasm and size throughout his set. Almost disappointingly, no projectiles were thrown this time 'Äì quite a different response from the Bendigo festival.
American 'wizards' Mutemath entranced the crowd with their forceful beats, bright lights and bouncing platforms. Things got hectic after Mutemath – the show being temporarily stopped during the Purple Sneakers DJ set due to too much enthusiasm from the crowd. The guys reminded everyone to 'Äútake care of each other'Äù while the hot and slightly crushed audience members were removed from the pit and the rest of the audience got back on track.
Park Way Drive got the crowd moving, much to the dismay of security: "I didn't see any crowd surfing. Get up! Pick those cows up!" The punters obliged. Inciting the most energetic response the main stage had seen yet, the metal antics, growls and double kicks were just the thing anyone who had been standing still for too long needed. Don't let the photos fool you, it was bloody cold as frontman Winston McCall reminded us: "We've played all over the world and this is the coldest festival we've ever played at…I can't feel my fucking hands!"
Ball Park Music, a festival treat with their jaunty, quirky and sometimes beautiful tunes, had everyone laughing: "we're a little band called one direction", and singing along to the hits Rich people are stupid and It'Äôs good to be alive.
We had a nice bit of downtime with the sweet, sweet harmonies and gentle acoustic guitars of Canadian City and Colour, lulling the audience to rest in anticipation of the big wigs Public Enemy.
Celebrating 25 years of Public Enemy, these guys gave us the phat beats and tight raps they are renowned for. The crowd was jumping, and at times screaming. Drinks were raised at the 30 seconds of noise for recently departed Adam Yaunch of the Beastie Boys and we were reminded that we were in the presence of not only musicians but idols to many a rebellious spirit over the span of their impressive careers.
To round this off, diva Kimbra gave us her energized cabaret style pop rock followed by local hip hop legends Hilltop Hoods and English indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs.

No he's not. That's really dumb. The seller doesn't HAVE to sell anything at double face value, that's just what they are willing to pay. If they want to be a good person, they could sell the tickets at face. I posted that because my friends are distraught that they did not get tickets on time, and would do basically anything to go. So really, you need to fuck off.

Devin, shut the fuck up
I know I don't have board rapport, but, I too am looking for a pass for a friend to whom I said, "Don't worry, it hasn't sold out since I've been attending." Either a Sunday only ticket or full weekend ticket (<- more likely I am sure). I won't beg while I choose. If anything's out there let me know Thanks!

Google+ in the wild pt. 1
Not tired of reading about Google+ yet? Since I've been using it for a while now I figured I could share some thought on how it works, what you could do with it and maybe most interesting what Google need to do to make it work. First up, the conversations concept.
"Real life sharing and conversations, rethought for the web"
Catchy? You bet. Does it really differs from other services? Sort of.
Google does it best to convince us that Plus really is different, not another Facebook, not another Twitter and most certainly, not another Buzz. The use of "Circles" are one thing that is a bit different. Facebook has list and encourages you to use them, Google instead call this circles and enforces it. When adding a contact you have to put them in one or more circles. Those circles are then the basis on who you share with, what you read and how private you want to stay. All to mimic how you decide what group of people to sit with at the party and what story you will share with them. This is not a major different, no matter how many times it's repeated that people don't use the lists in facebook. Some do (me included) and others could. It's how those lists/circles are used that is the difference (and to some extent the creating of circles that really is simple and quite fun, yes I like organizing things).
Because the conversation concept doesn't stop there, just like I can tell you a story that you later on will re-tell for another friend plus will let you reshare a post to any of your circles. This means that what was once a private conversation could go very public. Google just reinvented gossip. The nice thing with G+ gossip is that you will be notified and you can also do a "this is a secret don't tell anyone" by disable resharing. So far Google hasn't found a way to stop your friends from spreading it manually i.e. copy it or just use good old fashioned verbal skills. Google should make the share/gossip possibilities much more clear. Not only because it's a very nice feature but also, like it or not people are used to facebooks way of (not) dealing with resharing, it doesn't matter how much better this is. I'm guessing that failbook.com are just waiting...
People will of course be upset, I'm sure we will at one time or another hear a threat about a class action suite. In my opinion the conversations/sharing concept is great but it has to be made very very clear, we all know that people don't read the instructions carefully and that will always be somebody else fault.
I think I'll take a brake here and let this turn into a little series of post. Looking at one thing at the time is much more fun :)
I'd totally 1+ this article…
And now you can +1 it here as well :)
Thanks for pointing out my ignorance and slow adaptions

Hey Everyone!
This week is my final week of the first duration of summer school and I'm quite exhausted!
6 weeks really goes by so fast it's unbelievable…
In my Graphic Narrative, Animation, and Motion, our final assignment was… you guessed it… a Title Sequence!
With this being my 3rd title sequence project at OCAD, I wanted to create something with more depth and raw footage. Also, I wanted to pick a film out of my comfort zone… HORROR!
I picked a pretty well known film called Silence of the Lambs, mainly because the original opening credits for the film is pretty DREADFUL!
So here's my title sequence:
Hey Hey!
This week I finished another assignment for my summer course…
This project is intended to familairize you further with narrative storytelling through the use of shooting and editing combined with motion graphics.
You will demonstrate:
– the ability to add meaning to an exisiting story and engage the viewer
– the ability to recognize and use basic editing and typographical
animation techniques and vocabulary.
– an understanding of and ability to create original content via digital film, photography and audio.
Select a topical news story from a recent newspaper and create a 30 sec—60 sec animation which adds further meaning to the story, giving it greater impact to the viewer. Narrative may be told in a non-linear fashion, but the Who, What, Where and When must always be considered when covering a story.
Research the story further, find it's context in the world today, and develop a tone and emotional position using assets (footage, photographs, typography, etc.) for use as visual metaphor in your montage.
Consider audio selections carefully. Music, sound effects and voice-over are strong tools that can help convey your stance on the narrative.
Keep the type simple, but also keep it integrated and ensure it services the story you are telling.
You are not limited to the use of any materials, though it is encouraged that no more that 20% be sourced content (stock footage, found footage, etc.)
Consider using any of the following;
– any part of the newspaper from which the story was pulled, or any other newspapers, magazines
– original or found footage
– photographed or filmed typography
– original or found music or sdfx
– recorded situational background (BG) audio (story takes places in a subway? Record some good subway BG audio)
Get away from the computer. It's easier and faster to generate imaginative and engaging content using photos, drawings and footage. Grab it, mash it, blow it up on a photo copier! Get your 'hands dirty'. You'll find when it comes time to edit the narrative, all of the thought you put into developing your assets helps the piece almost cut itself together. Don't get hung-up on software, plug-ins or FX.
Get a good music track to cut to—nothing helps an edit like a good bed track. Find the breaks in the beat, the tempo of the track, and use them as guides. You can always change your track later—chances are it will fit within the current edit.
Here is my finished project:
I hope you enjoyed it :)
Hello y'all :)
So this past week has been pretty busy (what else is new) because my summer courses started last week… and I already have an assignment finished… OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The assignment is called THE HERO'S JOURNEY
Provide 12—15 storyboards which visualize the short story you've crafted. This can be the story you started in class or a completely new tale.
You may use the provided storyboard template to sketch out your narrative. Below each frame you can choose to include a description of the physical environment (set design/location, time of day, interior [IN:] exterior [EXT:]), an/or description of the spatial quality of the frame (staging, camera angle and any other element from your shotlist).
Storyboards will be submitted in digital format for review on 21.
• Progression. Where does the story begin? Where does it end? What creates the most drama? Does your protagonist journey from Orphan–Wanderer–Warrior–Martyr?
• Use your senses. How do you convey the ambiance or mood one would experience while exploring this place?
• Do not be afraid to experiment – use humour, surprise, be spontaneous, embrace chaos.
• Keep it simple.
With this brief, I began the storyboarding process:
Basically, I planned out what each clip would look like and how the story will progress.
After, it was time to create the characters and animate them:
Now, finally, here's the final animation:
I can't wait to see what the next assignment will be :)
Hey fellow readers!
I am done 2nd year and have decided to spread the word that I will be freelancing! If you or anyone you know needs anything such as cards, posters, letterheads, video, animations, illustrations, etc. comment below and let's collaborate together :)
My portfolio website is linked here so you can see my abilities and creative projects:
So… Let's Collaborate!
Hey readers!
Within the last little while, I've been studying for my one exam and getting myself ready for my presentation tomorrow night (more info on that will come in a following post so hang in there). Needless to say, things have been especially busy!
I've also been working on a special book for my Communication class this semester. Our final assignment was to create a process book of all the projects we created and turn them into something totally different. So, for my book I decided to make pop up pages.
Here's what the book looks like:
I'm especially proud of this book because I tried a new binding technique and successfully made pop ups that work!
Hopefully, my professor enjoys looking through my book and sees the hard work I put into this :)
This semester has been… CRAY CRAY!!!
New projects weekly, new learning experiences, new experiments, and definitely new finished pieces! I now have a new piece that I especially like: my scorpion.
Here was the brief I received in my Communication: Surface, Object, Space class:
in this project, we will apply serial plane concepts and the principles of design to the creation of a foam core board 3D form using additive and subtractive methods.
Upon successful completion of the project, students will have the knowledge and ability to:
Create a three-dimensional abstract or representational form that is a minimum of 12″x12″x12″ using white or black foam core board.
This form can be free standing, hanging or mounted on a base (the design of the base should enhance the created form).
Incorporate repetition and gradation of size and/or shape.
Ideally, you will include in some area of your design an opening to reveal the interior space construction, and in this way, explore the positive and negative space possibilities within your design.
Note that the edges of the foam core will create lines, the layering of the planes will create a volume with positive and negative space, and natural and artificial light will create gradation and shadows. Use these factors to your advantage.
I decided to create a scorpion, following the criteria above, and photograph it.
and there you go :)
This semester I am taking a VERY VERY interesting course for my minor: Networked Communities and Environments. Specifically, this course addresses the social dynamics of the Internet, how networks evolve, the social implications, the spaces in which the networks exist and so on.
For the first assignment, I was tasked with keeping a Digital Media Journal. Basically, track the amount of times I use any digital media and what kind specifically.
What I have noticed is that I use my laptop and iPhone extensively for multiple purposes.For example, I observed that each morning, I turn on my Music on my iPhone on my morning commute as well as my commutes going home. I have also noticed that I constantly check my Instagram account on my phone, at least 12 times throughout the day. I estimated that I listen to music for roughly 7 hours each day.
As well, being in a design program, I use my laptop everyday to access the Adobe software. Moreover, I do use my laptop to access the Internet. Throughout the week, I visited Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress.com, YouTube, Google, and Gmail more than 10 times. In particular, I opened Facebook everyday and will leave the webpage open for over 5 hours. I usually spend roughly 10 hours a day solely on my laptop.
Finally, I watched the television twice to watch a half-hour show and an hour show the other time. The other television shows I watched were off my computer, around 2 hours that week.
In conclusion, I have found that I have a clear dependency on both my laptop and iPhone.
Here is the video I produced for my assignment:

Group interview with Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel. Questions were not significantly difficult and there didn't appear to be a great deal of organization or planning that went into their overall interview strategy. Highly disappointed by the fact that the CCO told me as she walked me out, "You'll definitely be hearing from us soon," and I wasn't even afforded the courtesy of a rejection letter. Perhaps my personal integrity level exceeds that of those employed by Simplex but I personally feel that if you're in a senior leadership position at a company and you verbally commit to following-up you should fulfill that commitment.Interview Questions

I interviewed for a Team Captain position. I was asked about my prior experience as a supervisor of a team, how I motivate people and if I've ever worked in a commission based environment. The interview was very laid back and relaxed. They actually ended up offering me a different position. I interviewed with about 5 people, each individually and I was given an idea of the salary. The interview was really more of a casual conversation than "grilling" or "interrogation" as some other interviews tend to be.
