It's 2014 and we live in a world completely immersed in and surrounded by technology. Being able to handle and more importantly, get the best out of your technology is one of the most important life hacks of our generation. A lot of forums and sites might provide you with some decent tips and tricks but sometimes they can be confusing and irrelevant. Below is some great tech advice that applies to everyone, with any kind of device. If you are just looking to make your technological life a little easier and perhaps cheaper and more environmentally friendly, check out this list. It applies to anyone and everyone who is navigating the technological world. If you have a laptop, smart phone or tablet, you can take some of this great advice and apply it to your life.
Here is a list of good tech advice;
- Maximise the battery life on your smart phone!
Everyone has a smart phone these days and we are constantly using them on the go. This means that the battery gets used up super-fast which can be so frustrating when you are out and about. Make sure to get the most out of your phone by minimising battery use.
- Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when you are not using it
- Turn off apps that are constantly syncing
- Turn down brightness
- Turn off GPS
- Uninstall apps you don't use as well as animated wallpapers
- Use a task manager so you know what is running and can disable it
- Protect your data!
There are many ways in which your information could become public and the internet can be a dangerous place.
- Always remember to empty your computer's recycle bin so that those files are gone from your computer forever.
- Put a lock on any document or folder you don't want to be accessed by anyone other than you.
- Use complicated passwords with a variety of letters, cases, numbers and symbols. Try to stay away from basic information about yourself.
- Use a password safe to store all your passwords; if they are complicated you might forget.
- Get an SSD!
An SSD is a Solid State Drive that comes with a lot of modern laptops and computers. It is fast and efficient and great for productivity. The benefits of and SSD are;
- Very fast in both start up and program running
- No noise or heat
- Longer battery life for laptops
- Higher file transfer rates
- Learn keyboard shortcuts.
Knowing some decent keyboard shortcuts can save you so much time. Using any search engine look for "keyboard shortcuts". Here are a few for Microsoft Word:
- CTRL C = copy
- CTRL K = create hyperlink
- CTRL Z = undo last thing
- CTRL F = find in document
- Back up everything!
This applies to phones, computers and tablets. Losing all of your documents and important family photos is an absolute worst nightmare so it is really important to keep a back-up of everything. One of the best ways is to get an external hard drive because it is big enough to keep all of your stuff on. You can also use a USB for smaller amounts. For files and photos, sites like Google Drive or Dropbox are excellent and very useful and safe.

Getting muffins from the vending machine is like asking to waste 500 calories. Otis SpunkMeyer Muffins is a prime example, because one muffin has 460 calories, a little more than 1/3rd of your suggested fat intake and high sodium to top it off (read the review). A much better option is to spend about 10 minutes in your kitchen and you can make 11 tasty fat-free muffins for everyone to enjoy!
Krusteaz Fat Free Wild Blueberry Muffins are very simple to make! All you need is a bowl, spoon, oven, a cup of water and a muffin pan or cups. The muffins do tend to stick to the paper liners, so if you are going to use them, I would still spray them with a little cooking spray!
After mixing together the muffin mix and the water, I opened the little can of blueberries and did a double take: "These are blueberry muffins, right?" The blueberries are micro (smaller than a pea) and there is only about a half of a 'tuna can' amount once you drain them (in other words they are more for show)! In the end, they cook up great in 18 minutes, just like the box states! When you take them out of the oven, you will not miss the bakery one bit because the smell of fresh baked goods consumes the room! The tops come out slightly crusty and lightly browned, while the inside is soft and fluffy! The flavor is delightful and tastes slightly like white cake! And there isa hint of blueberry although I topped each muffin (prior to baking) with about 5 frozen blueberries, which added a plump, juicy sweetness to a few select bites.
The nutritional information is pretty fantastic when compared to other muffins! Each 17.5 ounce box will produce 11 average sized muffins, each of which has 130 calories, no fat, 280 milligrams of sodium (a considerable 12% of the recommended daily allowance), 2 grams of protein and 15 grams of sugar. The first ingredient is enriched bleached flour and the second main ingredient is sugar, which I would love to see changed in the future.
I paid $2.00 for a box of Krusteaz Fat Free Wild Blueberry Muffins on sale and would definitely purchase these again. They are an amazing way to satisfy any sweet craving. I think they would make a great substitute for cake/cupcakes at a birthday party, and the other flavors are just as good. Check out our previous review of the yummilicious Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Orange Muffin Mix.

Textured Silk Jacquard Button Up Blouse
Pretty, basic blouse
I purchased the blouse in the "egret" color and have no complaints about it. The top was more sheer that the picture appeared, but I was planning to wear a cami under it so that didn't bother me.
The material is delicate as another reviewer mentioned. While wearing it, I didn't get the impression that the material would tear, but since it is a delicate, sheer fabric with a slight texture to it, I do think that it is prone to pulling or snagging from jewelry or purse chains o I was very careful about what I paired with it.
The shirt had a normal cut and matched the same sizing that I wear in all other Bebe button down blouses.

Love the color
The texture and color of this blouse is beautiful. I ordered the Pink color and I must say I love it, I'm planning on wearing the blouse with the Pink suede vest that is now on sale. I ordered one size up because silk never stretches so I want to be able to move my arms,

Thought I was getting more of a white shirt, but it was gold n off white
January 30, 2013
I bought this to go with my honeydew tye dye pants from bebe, and it paired together real well. The best I could pair the pants even with, but I had to return because the material just feels like its going to tear or get nicked so easily.

Dear friends, I have so much to say.
We're already eleven days into the New Year and I've been feeling pretty inspired and optimistic – as I do with all sorts of fresh starts. I've found myself out of the house, exploring the neighbourhood and adventuring with friends every day this year. Although I'm falling behind, I've been participating in Fun-A-Day Montréal, by writing letters everyday and working on several zines. In fact, I'm co-organizing the event with a friend, though I must admit that deciding to throw an event during the holidays and while moving into a new apartment was a little ambitious on my part, and I didn't get to put nearly as much effort or promotion into it as I'd have liked to. So let's call this a pratice run for next year.
Lists, lists, lists. My resolutions this year are to learn how to approach people and be more sociable, to stay sober, to travel lots, to write reviews of every book I read, and to simply make things happen. So far, so good.
I'm planning a lot of trips this year. I'll be tabling at the NYC Feminist Zinefest on February 25th and I would love to see some friendly faces there. I don't know a lotta people in the city, but I'll be traveling with my twin and possibly a couple of friends. Got a place for us to crash? Get in touch. I'm pretty stoked about the idea of a feminist-themed zine event and the organizers seem like really great people who understand how important it is to keep zines accessible – the event is free and it only costs five dollars to table! Here's a little profile of me on their site.
I've also just begun my year-long Pizza Date project, which you can read about here and keep up to date on via Facebook. My first date of the year was last weekend. Tiffany and I went to Super Pointe on Ste-Catherine. The pizza is pretty mediocre, but we had a great time exchanging records, zines, patches and trinkets, listening to Bratmobile and The Ambulars, and talkin' about Courtney Love and stuff. It was pretty dreamy.
In March, I'll be tabling at the Chicago Zine Fest, which is always the highlight of my year. I've dedicated ten whole days to my visit this year. Gonna get tattooed by Alana Robbie (again), have a pizza date with the South Side Letter-Writing Club, take a million pictures in the black-and-white photobooths… Wanna hang out with me and show me around? I'd like to see your favourite thrift shops and secret hideouts in the city.
And if I can swing another trip, I've been asked to participate in a zine reading at Food For Thought Books Collective in late-April, and word has it that there's going to be a zinefest in Amherst. Hello, Massachusetts!
That said, I'm on the hunt for new zines for the distro. You know that I like zines by queers and feminists, but I'm especially interested in zines about quitting drinking, zines about sex work, zines about living on the cheap, perzines that make you feel hopeful, and zines that were created in Canada or Québec. I'll accept material written in English et en français. If you've got a zine that you think would fit well with the catalogue, please send along a copy for consideration – or if you simply have recommendations of other zines you'd like to see stocked, let me know!
I've recently added Dig Deep #3 / Your Secretary #10, Bring On The Dancing Horses and Sassyfrass Circus #6 and #7 to the catalogue. Many more are soon to come!
Please note that I have a new mailing address:
Amber Forrester
344 rue St-Ferdinand
Montréal, Québec
H4C 2S8 Canada
I'd like to write recaps of Expozine, my trip to Halifax and fun stuff like that, but have not yet found the time. You know how I always give myself too many projects to work on at once. 'Til next time!

As a participant of the Marex project, Imego will investigate the biological activity of compounds collected from different marine environments.
"Biodiversity in the seas is only partly explored, although marine organisms are excellent sources for many industrial products. Through close co-operation between industrial and academic partners, the MAREX project will collect, isolate and classify marine organisms, such as micro- and macroalgae, cyanobacteria, sea anemones, tunicates and fish from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as from the Mediterranean, Baltic and Arabian Seas. Extracts and purified compounds of these organisms will be studied for several therapeutically and industrially significant biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anticoagulant activities by applying a wide variety of screening tools, as well as for ion channel/receptor modulation and plant growth regulation. Chromatographic isolation of bioactive compounds will be followed by structural determination. Sustainable cultivation methods for promising organisms, and biotechnological processes for selected compounds will be developed, as well as biosensors for monitoring the target compounds. The work will entail sustainable organic synthesis of selected active compounds and new derivatives, and development of selected hits to lead compounds. The project will expand marine compound libraries. MAREX innovations will be targeted for industrial product development in order to improve the growth and productivity of European marine biotechnology. MAREX aims at a better understanding of environmentally conscious sourcing of marine biotechnology products and increased public awareness of marine biodiversity and potential. Finally, MAREX is expected to offer novel marine-based lead compounds for European industries and strengthen their product portfolios related to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, agrochemical, food processing, material and biosensor applications."

September 1 2009 the project "Lightweight electro-active fibres/textiles/layers and preparation of novel devices" (Lef-Tex) started with participants from both academia and research institutes. The project is funded by a grant from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) within their call for materials research, but the project is also linked up to other activities with financial support from other sources. The basis for the research activities is a close interaction between the participants each of which contributing with their unique competence. The participants are Chalmers University of Technology (Materials and Manufacturing Technology), Swerea-IVF, University of Borås (School of Engineering), Imego Institute and Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow).
The overall objective of the work is to develop new lightweight and functional fibres, textiles and layers. All materials/components will be based on polymeric nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black or carbon nanodiscs (CNDs). The intention is then to use these components in order to manufacture new or improved products. In the first place, commercially available nanoparticles will be used in the project. Due to their inherently good electrical conductivity, these particles are promising candidates for rendering polymeric materials electroactive. For example, the polymers, modified in a suitable manner, are likely to exhibit an enhanced piezoelectric effect, obtain a higher electrical conductivity that can be used in heating applications, changed light refracting properties (photorefraction) or improved electrical insulating performance which in turn can be implemented into new products. Such products will be in demand since they meet societal and consumer needs of lightweight and functional products related to living and recreational habitats, medical diagnosis, energy distribution efficiency, telecommunication, etc.
Knowledge and products emanating from the project can be used by Swedish industry, consumers and within university education. There are however several challenges. Issues to consider in order to achieve the objectives are for example related to separation and obtaining an adequate distribution of the nanoparticles in the matrix material. The structure of the particle network as well as its interaction with the polymer matrix constitute also critical factors. Hence experimental material science combined with computational physical chemistry is an important tool within the program. Several manufacturing techniques will be used and, if required, developed in order to achieve an improved or adequate particle dispersion, enhanced spinnability etc. In summary, the project is directed towards research and development of fibres and layers for smart materials/components/textiles, more specifically towards (i) new fibres/fabrics for lightweight and sensitive piezoelectric devices, (ii) melt-spun electrically conducting fibres for fabrics used in the automotive sector, (iii) new photorefractive films for high resolution imaging of human inner organs, (iv) improved telecommunication equipment and (v) improved insulating layers for high-voltage cables.
The project has been running for a relatively short time, but several interesting results have already emerged. In her licentiate thesis from the beginning of this year, Anja Lund has described the prerequisites of manufacturing piezoelectric fibres based on the polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). The work had the form of a collaboration between Swerea-IVF, University of Borås (School of Textiles) and Chalmers and the continuing activities also include the Imego Institute.
Shortly before the summer 2010, Martin Strååt from Swerea-IVF and Chalmers presented his Ph D thesis. Among other things, a technique for improving the spinnability of electrically conducting fibres containing carbon black was described; the restricted spinnability constitutes otherwise often a problem in this context. Martin Strååt also pointed to that, with a suitable heat treatment, the electrical conductivity of the manufactured fibres could be affected in a positive way. The processing technique employed in this case was based on spinning of bicomponent fibres which gave the required stability of the process. The photo below is a scanning electron micrograph of such a fibre with a sheath of polyamide and an electrically conducting core.
A bicomponent fibre with enhanced electrical conductivity
In addition, significant amounts of work have been devoted to clarify possible routes for dispersing carbon nanodiscs in a polymer matrix in order to obtain a sufficiently high conductivity. Preliminary results were presented at the "Annual European Rheology Conference 2010" that took place at Chalmers in the beginning of April this year. The start and continuation of Lef-Tex also brings about a higher student involvement in this area of science and engineering, in the first place in the form of project work and M Sc theses. Several such activities are in progress or are planned for.
Further information about Lef-Tex can be obtained from the contact persons Mikael Rigdahl and Rodney Rychwalski (Chalmers University of Technology), Bengt Hagström (Swerea-IVF), Kim Bolton (University of Borås) and Katrin Persson (Imego Institute)
The Emergency Support System (ESS) Consortium today announced that it has received formal approval from the European Commission to begin research and development of a portable emergency command and control system that incorporates real-time data collection technologies. The system will provide actionable intelligence to managers during crisis events and will be used as a framework for future crisis management systems. Part of the Seventh EU Framework Program, ESS is a four year project which is expected to run until 2013 (http://www.ess-project.eu). The European Commission will contribute €9.1 million over the next 4 years. The ESS consortium, which is led by Verint Systems, is comprised of 19 leading European technology companies, research institutes and end- user organizations. The purpose of ESS is to enable improved control and management of major crisis events such as terror attacks, industrial accidents, natural disasters etc. The idea guiding the development of ESS is real-time fusion of various forms of field-derived data including radioactivity, bio-chemical, audio-video, weather location tracking, affected population reports and other information. The data would be communicated via both portable and fixed platforms including wireless communication devices, UAV, air-balloon and field-vehicles. The fusion of the data is handled within a central system which performs information analysis and provides decision support applications for web based command and control systems. This provides flexible, yet comprehensive coverage of the affected area. Once available to the market, the ESS concept would offer real time synchronization and information sharing between first responders and support forces at the site of the incident such as police, rescue teams and fire-fighters as well as out-of-theatre command and control centres of the various involved authorities (e.g. municipalities and homeland security). ESS will also enable the commanders to communicate with the affected on-site personnel by sending text (SMS) or recorded voice messages. "We are proud to advance our innovative concept in the field of civil security through partnership with world-leading industrial and research organizations," says Gideon Hazzani, Director of Technologies for Verint Systems, who initiated the ESS concept and serves as the consortium coordinator. "Crisis situations are usually characterized by random location, uncertainty, stress and the availability of partial information according to which commanders need to make life and death decisions. By using independent, portable and quickly deployable command and control systems which share information between all the parties, decision makers can make decisions based on better quality, clearer and more complete data. As such, ESS will help limit the scope of the crisis and ultimately save lives," explains Hazzani.

An introduction to automotive radar technology. February 3rd 2009, 13:00‐16:00 at Manegen, Lindholmspiren 5 (Entrance floor), Lindholmen Science Park in Göteborg. To register, please send an e‐mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Den 18 december 2008, lagom till Imegos 10-årsjubileum, undertecknades ett avtal om överlåtelse av det statligt helägda forskningsinstitutet Imego till Swedish ICT.
Efter tio år med staten som ägare så har Imego utvecklats till ett dynamiskt nationellt forskningsinstitut. Dagens överlåtelse till Swedish ICT innebär ett historiskt kliv mot ett nytt decennium av utveckling och innovation.
Försäljningen av Imego är ett led i regeringens strävan att främja industriforskningen genom en sammanslagning av landets institut. Målet är att de svenska industriforskningsinstituten ska bli mer konkurrenskraftiga och bättre rustade för att stärka näringslivet, bland annat genom ökad samverkan med universitet och högskolor. Imegos nya ägare Swedish ICT är en av fyra nya bolagsgrupper inom IRECO Holding AB.
- Vi är övertygade om att denna omstrukturering kommer att stärka institutens möjligheter att möta näringslivets behov av forskning och utveckling på ett mer effektivt och flexibelt sätt, kommenterar Hans Hentzell, VD och koncernchef på Swedish ICT.
- En nationell kraftsamling under Swedish ICT:s ägarskap ger oss betydligt större möjlighet till ett fördjupat samarbete mellan de olika instituten inom koncernen, menar Bill Brox, VD på Imego-institutet. Detta ger potential till deltagande i större gemensamma projekt av både nationell och internationell karaktär, till exempel med inriktning på fordonsindustrin eller informations- och kommunikationsteknologi. Imegos nära anknytning till Chalmers ger också en värdefull möjlighet till hantering av större industriuppdrag samt starkare samverkan med Chalmers forskningsavdelning.
Swedish ICT består idag av Acreo, Imego-institutet, Interaktiva Institutet, Santa Anna, SICS och Viktoria-institutet. Dessa aktörer verkar främst inom informations- och kommunikationsteknologi, mikro- och nanoteknologi samt sensorteknik med fokus på fordonsindustrin.
Imego bedriver forsknings- och utvecklingsarbete i nära samverkan med Chalmers Tekniska Högskola och Göteborgs Universitet. Kärnan i verksamheten är tillämpad forskning och produktutveckling inom mikro- och nanoteknologi med sensorsystem i fokus.
The Emergency Support System is a suite of real-time data-centric technologies which will provide actionable information to crisis managers during abnormal events.
This information will enable improved control and management, resulting in real time synchronization between forces on the ground (police, rescue, firefighters) and out-of-theater command and control centers.
Imego's contribution is in the area of wireless sensors, eg local weather sensors and bio-chemical sensors.
Please contact Cristina Rusu (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information!
The SAFFO project advances the state-of-the-art in passive/semi-passive RFID sensor tags and provides solutions that can be further utilized in viable commercial products.
SAFFO aims at integrating the technological expertise among the Finnish - Swedish research consortium and at exploiting these in new RFID sensor tags solutions. The project is dedicated to provide technical demonstrations of the developed solutions in wireless humidity and temperature monitoring applied to sectors such as home maintenance, construction, healthcare, and cold chain logistics.
SAFFO project is the continuation of IntelliSense RFID project within the NORDITE program (Vinnova) , which showed that is feasible to develop multi-band / multi-protocol / multi-sensing components for passive RFID sensing tag. The SAFFO partners are for Sweden, Micro and NanoSystems group at MC2/Chalmers University of Technology and Imego Institute, and VTT for Finland. Project leader is Cristina Rusu (firstname.lastname@example.com) for Sweden and Kaj Nummila (email@example.com) for Finland.
RFID Nordic is a non-profit organization that has the aim to act as a link and know-how cluster between customers, suppliers, universities and other education establishments, the media, decision-makers and authorities within the RFID field.
Imego has developed MERMAID, a measurement instrument for analysis of liquid and thin film properties using magnetoelastic resonance (MER) sensors.
The MER sensor is either coated by or immersed in the substance under investigation. Dynamic events such as viscosity changes, phase transitions or bio film growth on the surface of the MER sensor can be analyzed. The MERMAID is useful in many applications, such as food processing, biomedicine and polymer testing.
Imego är en av parterna i "Industriell Dynamik", ett regionalt nätverk i Västra Götaland.
Nätverket tillhandahåller kvalificerad experthjälp inom olika områden och det långsiktiga målet är att skapa tillväxt och starkare konkurrenskraft för regionens industriföretag.
Vinnova bidrar med 2,8 miljoner till ett projekt för utvärdering av PressEyes i pappersbruk. Projektdeltagare är Stora Enso Nymölla AB, forskningsavknoppningen Vasasensor samt en pappersmaskinbeklädnadstillverkare.
Projektets syfte är att utvärdera ett helt nytt trådlöst sensorsystem för processoptimering i ett svenskt pappersbruk. Sensorsystemet, framtaget av företaget Vasasensor, mäter tryckprofilen i pappersmaskinens pressnyp. Mätningen sker kontinuerligt under det att pappersmaskinen är i full drift, vilket ingen lyckats med tidigare.
Information från det unika mätsystemet, i kombination med gedigen erfarenhet från papperstillverkning, möjliggör realtidsstyrning mot effektivare avvattning och minskad energiförbrukning för papperstillverkare. Jämnare papperskvalitet liksom minskat pappersspill och färre oplanerade driftstopp är andra fördelar som skall utvärderas under projektet.
Projektdeltagarna är Stora Enso Nymölla AB, forskningsavknoppningen Vasasensor samt en pappersmaskinbeklädnadstillverkare. Projektet finansieras till stor del av projektdeltagarna men har i hård konkurrens med andra företag och forskare även fått 2,8 miljoner kronor i finansiering från VINNOVA.
Projektledare:Sofia Johnsson, VD Vasasensor031-780 18 email@example.com
Acreo, IMEGO, FOI och SP ställer gemensamt ut på Elektronik/EP-mässan den 28-30 jan 2008 (Stockholmsmässan). Tillsammans representerar de fyra instituten ett kraftfullt erbjudande av FoU-tjänster och produktionsresurser som kan leverera nya innovativa produkter för tillväxt och ökad konkurrenskraft.
Vasasensor AB is announced as "Spin-off of the year 2005" by The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) and Connect Sweden. Vasasensor was founded in 2003 and is a spin-off from Imego and Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship.
Flexit Navigation AB and Imego AB have built GyroSmart, a new equipment for logging and mapping of drilled holes.
GyroSmart is built around digital micro gyroscopes, complementing traditional magnetometers and inclinometers, to form a small but precise instrument that will replace a host of competing technologies. For further information:

I had this dream no that long ago that I was stuck on this staircase/path thing, and I was walking for a very long time. I finally figured out that it never ended, and I was going to try to get off by going down a random off shoot I saw, when this boy appeared and told me not to go that way. I followed him for a bit, and eventually we made out way off of it. But I knew if he hadn't shown up, I would still be climbing.

For the longest times I couldn't really remember my dreams, or they were either just boring and repetitive so it wasn't worth remembering anyway. But then my dreams became more vivid and real again and I remembered them in the day. But now it's going back to not remembering again.
I like my dreams! Don't take them away from me!

I studied sleep and dreaming as part of my A-level psychology, and there are certain figures more likely to appear in dreams. People you know, random public figures (policemen, doctors, etc.) But seldom completely random people whom you don't know. I just wanted to get some other opinions, because the dreams i remember mostly seem to center around people I don't know. Anyone else have this?

I'm almost always the main character and a floating observer/narrator at the same time.
So a couple days ago I read a story called "It's a
Life", by Jerome Bixby. It's SciFi, about this boy who has these intense mental powers, and somehow took his town out of the world. It's surrounded by 'nothingness', and everyone is terrified of him because you don't want to cross him if he hates you, and even if he likes you and wants to help you, he'll probably end up making your life infinitely worse (for example, there was this man who died, and when the boy - Anthony - saw his wife mourning, he brought the man back from the grave, because he liked her and wanted her to be happy).
Read the story, it's really good.
So after I read that I fell asleep, and dreamed up a sequel. Which happens some times.
I went up to Anthony and said, "You want to help people, right?" and he said "Yeah..." So I said, "Maybe next time someone needs help, you can ask how to help, or ask what you can do, rather than doing whatever you want." And he looked thoughtful as we walked down the sidewalk. Then we came across a man who had an accordion (it was like those music boxes on the street, with a monkey attached). It was broken. Anthony got this look in his eye, and I reminded him to ask the man. So he did, and crouched down, and fixed the broken wires, and the machine worked again. The problem was he wanted to help, but he didn't know how, so he guessed, and it never worked out. When he realized he could actually
, he got excited.
I can't remember if this was his fault or not, but just then half of a skyscraper collapsed. There were people inside and underneath, and Anthony got even more excited, and ran all the way to the building, with me running after him to remind him about his new way to help. As we got there, I saw the Prime Minister and the Ambassador from England, and I asked Anthony's father, "How did they get here?" Because in all the years the town had been separated, never had someone from the outside come in. Anthony's dad said, "They came through the nothingness." Everyone was shocked and wondering - could this mean the nothingness wasn't real after all? The PM and the Ambassador were just standing there watching.
Anthony wanted to go into the building, to pull it back up again, but I wouldn't let him go without me. I followed him into the lobby, which was mostly intact, and down the stairs. There were hurt and groaning people everywhere. Anthony told us to go into the elevator, which we did, and clung to each other, eyes closed. For a moment, nothing happened, then we felt the elevator descending, and when the doors opened we were in the lobby again. I was confused, as we'd been in the basement before. Then I heard cheering, and I saw light coming in through the windows, and I ran outside. Anthony had pulled the building back together! When he appeared I gave him a huge hug, and grinned at him ecstatically. He had done it all on his own, with no prompting from me! I was so proud. Then I heard muttering from the crowd, and motion as people started moving away toward the edges of the nothingness. Except... it wasn't there! There was a horizon with other buildings there, and trees and hills and fields. He'd returned the town to its proper place in the world. He'd realized that other people counted too. All I could do was hold him, I was so overcome.
That was basically the end of it. The other dream I had was about a were-kitten that turned into a dragon.

IOWA CITY – A wastewater discharge occurred Saturday in the 800 block of Spring Ridge Drive at the Modern Manor Mobile Home Court in Iowa City.
Between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons of untreated wastewater flowed to an unnamed tributary of Snyder Creek after workers damaged a pumping station while cleaning it.
The wastewater discharge began about 5 p.m. and ended shortly after the wastewater operator learned of the discharge.
The DNR will monitor the situation and take appropriate enforcement action.

Slim Wallet Writer with Pen
Very handy item
This is the second wallet writer I have purchased in the last 10 years. Still using mine, this last one bought for a M.E. graduate just getting started. The value and usefulness were evident immediately. Truly a very handy tool for office or home, male or female.

Ingenious and Useful
You're a male at a no-jacket event but will need to take a few notes? Where do you keep a notebook? This is the solution. It fits in a pants pocket with almost no bulge. And you don't have to use the Levenger card refills that are made for it: business cards fit perfectly, and the center section holds (barely) the half-size 3x5 cards I use very frequently. Conclusion: fills a need very well, although seems a little pricey.

External hard drive for your mind.
I've been a fan of Levenger products for years now. I finally got the Slim Wallet Writer with Pen about 2 years after my Slim Wallet Writer was stolen. It took that long to get over my loss. But I'm glad I did. There's so much information I try to absorb during my day. If I'm not writing down what you're telling me, there's not much of a chance I'll remember. Especially as a new first time dad! This is a stylish way to keep track of my to-do list and new contacts. Hopefully, my initials will prevent this one from being stolen too. Not that I could blame the thief!

excellent overall - one small neg
This item is for small hands, and even smaller shirt pockets. It is quality leather. It is quality value. It is smaller than would normally fit in the shirt pocket--lot smaller than it appeared on the website. Still, it practical for jotting notes or lists. I love the fact that it comes with plenty of additional cards. Go ahead--get one for yourself!

Useful day to day tool
Small enough to fit in a front pants pocket but packs a lot of punch. This handy little note taking device helps keep day to day business in order and is also there for the "aha!" moment. Well made and should last for quite some time.

Slim Writer
I enjoy the slim writer as it is a practical note holder on the go. I often come up with ideas for work and the slim writer is there, not taking up too much space, for my ideas. I would recommend for any business professional that travels a lot.

So handy and so beautiful
I needed something smaller than the pocket briefcase to minimize the "stuff" in my purse. This is great - pen included. I am always trying to remember something someone told me to read, view, cook, eat, etc. This is just right to jot those things down and keep in one place. Also great for the pocket when I only want to carry credit cards, cash and a pen. Leather is soft and the red is a great color.

I needed a new case for my business cards, and this one serves the purpose beautifully. It gives me the added benefit of the small pen and notecards, which are very useful. It's an attractive and compact item with a professional look. It seems to be of good quality.

Most useful tool in everyday life
There are many Levenger product which are just nice to own. But this slim wallet writer is actually a tool I don't want to miss anymore. It is ideal for taking notes in passing, to write down a book, a person or anything else mentioned by a conversation partner. I would also recommend very strongly the version with the walletini pen. It fits quite well and with the strong clip there is no danger of loosing it. It is also the size which still fits in a shirt-pocket when you cannot carry with you any larger notepad. I was asked quite a number of times where I got this peace ... Levenger is still much too little known in Europe!

My ordering mistake
I have read the other reviews about this product and agree with the versatile uses of it. It is a quality product that I do recommend. I am disappointed with myself for what I ordered. When I decided to order this product and the pocket briefcase. I debated about getting them with the pens and read about two people losing the pens early on. So, I bought both without pens thinking that I would put my own pen in the slot for the pen, but there is no slot. I'm thinking about what I'll be doing to modify the product to include a pen.

Matt Toner: Why Vancouver's tech sector is stuck in the middle of the pack
By Matt Toner
As an entrepreneur in the tech sector, I followed the recent report by Startup Genome that compared Vancouver to other innovation centres from around the world with considerable interest.
Perhaps not surprisingly, I came to rather different conclusions than B.C. Liberal minister for advanced education, innovation and technology John Yap [B.C. government is investing in technology sector, December 5]. I would suggest to Yap at the outset that you actually have to read such studies thoroughly, not just cherry pick the sound bites that best suit your argument.
So what does this study actually tell us?
Of the 20 cities surveyed, Vancouver's ranking as an innovation center (#9) is certainly interesting—but only if you take the time to examine the details instead of simply trumpeting how we beat Chicago (#10).
Incidentally, we still come in below Toronto (#8)—something that Yap omits. Perhaps, for some reason, that is a less interesting cherry.
Vancouver ranks extremely well in two of the most important ways to foster innovation: talent (#4) and mindset (#2). The first category ranks the competence of the founding team members of a startup and the second measures how well these leaders overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges to create success.
Both are essential pre-conditions for successful innovation—and Vancouver has these in spades! We have deeper talent than New York or Boston, and our compass for success is better tuned than those in Tel Aviv or London. By all means, break out the champagne!
But if that's the case, why are we then stuck in the middle of the pack?
Two of the biggest reasons are access to funding (#12) and support (#14). The former measures the availability of risk capital (a must-have ingredient for innovation) while the latter assesses the quality of the support network for innovation. Government policy—or lack thereof—fits rather neatly in here.
The study further points out that as a result of the above, financing for innovation-based startups is highly uncompetitive in Vancouver: a staggering 80 percent lower than our counterparts in Silicon Valley.
So here's the worry: this overhang creates conditions that are perfect for a flight of talent to better supported innovation centres.
We see this when amazing Vancouver-based startups like Flickr, Zite, and Summify are whisked away to the south. Or when game studios shut down local operations in favour of expansions in Toronto or Montreal.
Brain drain is real and we are starting to feel it. And if we continue to export our best ideas and brightest people, we lose.
The findings of the Startup Genome report tie in well with the anecdotal evidence of those actually working in the industry—people like me. Vancouver is—relatively speaking—a smaller and less mature innovation centre. We have unquestionable upside potential, but that promise is tempered by a series of institutionalized challenges that must be overcome.
This is where understanding the details becomes important, especially if—like Yap—you are in the business of making policy.
So here is a final detail, but hopefully it is a cherry that Yap might decide to pick: many of my C-level colleagues in the Vancouver innovation industry have indicated that they need to make a hard decision about keeping their businesses in our city. Their horizon is about 12 to 18 months.
And their real need isn't the mentorship being proffered by Yap as a kind of panacea (the Startup Genome indicates that Vancouver already has 25 percent more mentorship available than in Silicon Valley).
What my colleagues want to see is an engaged and imaginative government, one that is capable of working with them to solve the very real problems of scarce financing and soft support. Only once those solutions are in place will we see Vancouver realize its full potential—and start moving up in that ranking.

Gorffennaf 2013
week one of summer 2013
It hasn't been our busiest week in terms of numbers but I can't blame our visitors for wanting to make the most of the lovely weather. Not being as frantic as we often are has meant that families have been able to spend a long time engaging with some lovely handling objects and learnt a lot about Bronze Age design. I have been tweeting pictures of people's creations every day, but here are two photos from the week.
Tomorrow we change activities to look at and make our own Bronze Age shields.
Also I wanted to mention a very exciting family treasure hunt we are running throughout the museum during the school holidays. Cardiff Bay Rotary Club have kindly donated some book tokens as prizes. Come and see us for more information.
Have a nice weekend

Beans on Toast
3 primary schools took part in activities exploring the new Beans on Toast exhibition at the National Museum Cardiff last week.
Pupils from Windsor Clive Primary School, Trelai Primary School and Ysgol Wirfoddol Abergwili explored where in the world our food comes from and how we can make sustainable choices about the food we buy. They then worked with an artist to create a 'World Food Stall' display to encourage discussion on the issues of food security back in school.
Funding was received to work with the artist through the British Ecological Society.
The exhibition will be open until 29 September 2013. Contact the Learning Department 029 2057 3240 if you would like to take part in future activities.
Gwyddowyr Gwych yng Nghwm Rhondda
Ysgol Gynradd Williamstown, yng Nghwm Rhondda, ddaeth yn gyntaf o'r chwedeg tri o ysgolion yng Nghymru a gymrodd ran yn ymchwiliad Bylbiau'r Gwanwyn yr Amgueddfa eleni.
Enillodd y dosbarth o Wyddonwyr Gwych daith natur i Sain Ffagan: Amgueddfa Werin Cymru, lle cawsant eu tystysgrifau. Fel rhan o'r daith, cawsant gyfle i astudio madfallod dŵr, chwilio am fwystfilod bach, gwylio ystlumod ac adeiladu nythod mawr yn y goedwig!
Athro'r Ardd: ''Cafodd pob un o'r disgyblion ddiwrnod gwych a dylen nhw fod yn falch iawn o'r ffordd maen nhw wedi cynrychioli eu hysgol. Roedd y safon yn uchel iawn eleni; mae'r ysgolion i gyd yn gwella wrth gofnodi eu data. Gwnaeth Williamstown yn arbennig o dda gyda'u cofnodi ac wedi bod yn frwdfrydig iawn o'r cychwyn fis Tachwedd diwethaf tan ddiwedd y gwanwyn – a ddaeth yn hwyr iawn eleni!"
Alison Hall, Athrawes yn Ysgol Gynradd Williamstown: "The pupils said it was the best day out they had ever had - they loved viewing the bat roost in particular! In terms of the investigation, the children have have loved the whole process from planting and recording to measuring and waiting for the first bloom to appear. It has been great for improving their science, numeracy and ICT skills. We are now really enthused about nature and the environment and are keen to set-up more outdoor investigations in our school grounds".

We need you - have your say!
We're very excited about our newest specimen on display here in the Clore Discovery Centre –an ichthyosaur skull that was found not far from here at Lavernock (near Penarth).
The skull is going to be on display throughout the summer and this is where you come in.
Instead of us writing an information panel based on what we know about the specimen, we'd rather find out what you would like to know.
So over the next couple of months come into the museum, investigate the specimen and leave your suggestions for what you'd like to discover about the ichthyosaur in the ballot box we've set up in the Clore Discovery Centre.
We've also got some exciting family workshops lined up where we'll be learning more about the Jurassic seas that our Ichthyosaurs lived in.

what i've been up to...
I've been pretty quiet blog-wise but not work wise! Oriel 1 is now shut so I've been taking my art and craft activities further afield, trying out different locations on the site in St Fagans: National History Museum and going to Hay festival, Tafwyl, as well as doing some outreach work with schools.
Our quilting club is still going and our next meeting will be on 20 July and will be all day! from 11 until 1 and 2 until 4 (though you are welcome to just come along for some of it). I have also started up a knit and sew group, it's just a chance to come along and meet new people and exchange ideas and the next one of those is on 28 September from 11 until 1.
To keep up to date with what we're up to quilt and craft wise, have a look at our facebook page
We've also taken part in a few Craftivism projects and hope to do more of those over the next few months too. Again, there's a facebook page for that, although we don't just meet in the museum and take part in lots of other events!
And the other newish thing that I've been involved with is the St Fagans book group (yep, there's a facebook page for that too) which meets every month (next meeting 20 july) to discuss novels that have links with the site or have links with Wales. We also invite speakers to come and give us some context for the books too - so, for instance, when we read 'The Rebecca Rioter' by Amy Dillwyn, Sioned Hughes (curator: Politics, Trade and Religion) talked to us about the Tollhouse in St Fagans, when we 'read' (I'm yet to finish it) 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemingway, Heulwen Thomas talked to us about the Welsh links with the Spanish Civil War, and last meeting when we disussed 'The Hill of Dreams' by Arhtur Machen, writer and Machenite Catherine Fisher talked to us about Machen's life and times. The current book we are reading is Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and we'll then be joined by Dr Madeleine Gray who'll be giving her historical take on the novel whilst we visit the church.
If you are interested in getting involved with any of these things please let me know! my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com and I'd love to hear from you.
I have to get back to my crochet bunting now!
