Greenhouse Gas 101: An Overview of Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Kendall Tupker and Kristian Stephens Brown Bagger Session May 5, 2005 Overview • Introduction • Science of Climate Change and GHGs • What role can Agriculture Play? • Policy Response to Climate Change • Federal Climate Change Plan • AAFRD's Activities to Date What's the Controversy? • Anthropogenic GHG emissions are 5% of GHG global emissions • Canada accounts for only 2% of global GHG emissions • Kyoto would delay GHG trends by 10 or so years • Cost and health estimates vary widely • Regional climate circulation models predict that: – – – – Increase in climate variability Greater precipitation will occur in the winter Temperate regions with 'heat' more (5 –10 degrees) Increase in pests and diseases Global Carbon Cycle – Tipping Point (Gt carbon) 760 6 Atmosphere 600 1600 40,000 Soils Soils Oceans Political Reality • The world is quickly moving to a carbonconstrained economy • Governments are taking action and markets are forming fast • Carbon markets will accelerate: – UK and EU markets ($14-$16 CAD/tonne) – International markets ($7.75 CAD/tonne) Political Reality • The Kyoto Protocol on GHG emissions came into force February 16, 2005 • Canada launched its $10B Plan • Alberta has a Climate Change Act and Strategy • Is AAFRD ready? Make it happen, Watch it Happen or ask "What Happened" – where do you want to be?

You mean $4.8M in gross margin. Unless somehow you've found a way to make a dollar in revenue be $1.60 in profit...
So, it's more like 0.6 cents/share.
The Chinese are not rich. Sony and Microsoft will not be giving AMD a premium on these machines. They will have to discount the boxes to get that many sold in China and are most likely to force AMD to share in the price reductions.
5% is a reasonable number, though. If they are on discount.
His track record is clear: lawsuits against him and his company from his own clients; a string of pumps of companies that have failed; and then all this maniacal spew on this message board, with multiple personalities.
Either he's genuinely schizo, or he's pretending to be because it's all his self-esteem has left, telling himself he's just pretending.
That's spectacular. The next trading day, VICL opened 50% lower.
Luskin is not the brightest bulb in the recycle bin.
I have run out of gum wrappers. New shipment comes in next week. Until then, this is what you get. Can't use crayon on them, though. So that's grape juice.
AMD is full of disgruntled engineers who hang on by their fingernails and do as little as possible hoping to make the layoff list and get the severance package.
As predicted, AMD botched HBM. It can't make Fury units in quantity, and the ones it did make are overtaxing themselves just to come up short against the competition.
AMD's balance sheet is ugly, but it's still not as ugly as AMD's real financial condition.
Rich people make stupid mistakes, too. They'll be selling the shares they bought today as soon as they get home and use a real computer to do real due diligence.
It's been explained to you several times before, yet you still post this lie.
The Chinese don't have the money to buy game consoles in anything like the proportions that Americans and Europeans do. Household incomes in China are 1/8th what they are in America. And the Chinese government will restrict the number and type of games that will be allowed on those consoles.
China will not be a major win for console makers and certainly not for AMD. Those 153 million short shares are safe. Nobody's buying back the ones you bought from us.
Haha. 15 cents and you think people should panic.
AMD has no future. The technology world has moved beyond AMD's abilities, and AMD doesn't have the resources to retool. Tow it out into the ocean, blow some holes in its hull, and make a reef out of it.
I'd like to take credit for all of that, but no, I'm not the only short. I'm just the best.
I will never have to cover.
Intel is way ahead, and has superior internals and manufacturing. Zen is an attempt to catch up, but is already behind. And won't even exist as a product until late next year.
There's a seller in every transaction, and shorts are holding waiting for bankruptcy. Volumes indicate nobody is panicking. Some deep-pocketed dope thinks he's come across an oversold value stock. He hasn't looked at the books. He will. He'll realize the truth and capitulate before it moves too far against him.
NYMX is a drug company. Its price action is based on wins at the FDA. Such decisions are immediate and critical determinants of future value. AMD has no equivalent. Its products are known quantities 1-2 years before they hit the shelves. The OP was a basic troll, not a cogent analysis.
Windows 10 is not going to sell computers. It's already sold the computers it was going to sell. OEMs and retailers discounted older stock to make room for the same hardware with Win10 imaged into it. Which will sell like the older stock did before the discounts, minus some slack because of the increased demand satisfaction from the discounted sales. And a lot of those were to people who know they're going to upgrade automatically tomorrow morning.
Everyone who currently owns a computer is going to get a free copy of Windows 10, and Windows 10 is streamlined enough to run on computers that are several years old. So no, Windows 10 isn't going to compel anyone to buy a new computer.
If today's bump is in any way predicated on Windows 10, I'll be pocketing this entire dime within a month. Buyers this dumb will take time to realize their mistake, but eventually will be slapping their foreheads and discussing their insecurities with their mixologists.
You aren't interested in contributing anything rational, are you.
Instead of pretending you have post-hoc prescience, how about actually trading. You can buy now, and sell when it goes back to 1.61. Then when you kick yourself it will be for an actual fact, not your imaginary bravery.
Well, no, they're saying people are actually paying 1.3% more for AMD paper.
But then they say it went from 78.25 to 66.25 in a week. That's a 15.3% drop, not a 1.3% rise. So all they're reporting on is a dead-cat bounce in the bonds.
All those ratings cuts are the real story here. The financial community is advising its clients to avoid AMD like the plague that it is. You can pick from the other 7,000 stocks in the investing universe, plus any of tens of thousands of other investment vehicles not affiliated in any way with AMD, and you will have a six-sigma chance of doing better.
Or you can short AMD, which is what they're really telling you to do. Works for me.
I will never have to cover.
So they threw away a whole generation of chips on 20 nm. And paid to do it. They haven't announced any actual cost-cutting measures.
Q3 should be a lot like Q2.

YORKTOWN, N.Y. – The Yorktown Daily Voice is heading into the new year by counting down, in no particular order, the top 10 stories from 2012.
The year saw nearly a dozen new businesses pop up throughout Yorktown's five business hamlets.
In downtown Yorktown Heights, Jake's Wayback Burger, Jewel of Himalaya, Luvin' Spoonfuls and Twist were all welcomed into the town with grand openings.
The Route 6 area of Mohegan Lake was also a major area for new businesses, with Pizza Hut, IHOP, TCBY, and Diego's Deli.
The Crompond hamlet will likely be the town's focal point in 2013 as it reviews a proposal for a 150,000 square-foot Costco Wholesale Club at 3200 Crompond Road.

Getting mandated health benefits for coverage of hearing aids for children, cognitive rehabilitation, and autism related speech-language and hearing services will be a state legislative effort so your state speech-language-hearing association will be involved. There are multiple steps a state association must take in order to implement a successful advocacy campaign. This section explains those steps, which follow.
Advocacy in Action: A State Model for Change
A resource on how to develop an effective state advocacy program for state speech-language-hearing associations interested in engaging in state-level efforts.
The first step is to assess your association's potential to achieve its legislative goal.
You will need to develop an organized plan or strategy. Identify an individual to chair or coordinate the campaign and a group of members to work with the chair. An effective state action plan will take 2-3 years. The components of a state action plan include:
The state association, its members, and lobbyist all have roles to play in any state advocacy effort. All parties should collaborate and work together. Establish an advocacy committee with a strong coordinator/chair who is willing and able to devote the time, energy, and commitment needed to sustain an effort.
Your state initiative will benefit greatly if your state association formulates a focused grassroots advocacy plan and develops an organized grassroots network. Policy makers must hear from their constituents and the people directly impacted by the issue. Include parents or other consumers when appropriate. Prepare user-friendly information for your members for visits with policy makers. Develop talking points that are 1-2 pages long and include facts about your issue.
See also: Examples of ASHA's issue briefs with talking points
Effecting change at the state level requires persistence and patience. You need committed volunteers and good communication among all advocacy partners. One common pitfall to avoid is having unclear state association priorities. Another is lack of leadership by the chair of your advocacy committee. Having limited follow through will also hamper the progress of your effort. Realize that although there may be peak activity times, such as during a legislative session, an advocacy effort continues throughout the year.

Hockey: 'Sleepy' Danson wide awake to hand Britain the perfect start
Great Britain 4 Japan 0
Ian Herbert
Ian Herbert is Chief Sportswriter at The Independent.
The Riverbank Arena
Monday 30 July 2012
"Alex Danson is known to her team-mates as 'sleepy,'" the
stadium compere declared last night, in the course of providing a
detailed introduction to a drenched crowd of the British players
who have become little less than fixated on the idea of winning
Olympic gold over the past four years.
Well, that was a misnomer, all right. Danson required only six minutes to score from close range and demonstrate her powers of finishing to a Japanese side ranked ninth in the world and not expected to be the slouches of this tournament.
"I hope I'm like Wayne Rooney as a player but not in any other way," Danson said before this game, in that obliging way which the hockey players have of offering a football signifier for themselves to make the nation understand their sport.
The first half offered attacking, aggressive sport – not quite what you get from the national or British football team but a spectacle which ought to give hockey a wider audience.
"We are more fluid than we were four years ago and play across multiple lines and positions now. It comes with more risks because in the past we had people who played in one position all their lives," coach Danny Kerry reflected late last night, his satisfaction with a "thorough" win only diminished by the departure to hospital of his influential captain Kate Walsh, who took a bad blow from a Japanese stick late in the game." Her continued role in the tournament was uncertain. "We didn't expect that," said the Japan coach, Zenjiro Yasuda. "They are more powerful than we last played them."
The bright blue "Smurf Turf" surface, which the women have taken some getting used to, was wringing wet but they kept their feet. Danson did her Rooney routine, finishing again after Helen Richardson had played the ball in, and there was a particularly fine lobbed back-flick for the British third from Sally Walton – not bad for a defender.
Sarah Thomas was the other scorer, taking the ball Anne Panter delivered from the left. But it was midfielder Laura Bartlett and the experienced defender Crista Cullen who provided the best exposition of why Kerry's players have been building a reputation around this tournament. "Train hard, play easy," is Cullen's motto. Her performance didn't bear that out, even though the Japanese were poor.
Of course, the real opponents to fear had left the building about six hours earlier, a 3-0 opening-game win under the belts, but there was no mistaking how much they mean business. The Dutch Oranje are as gifted on the hockey field as on the football pitch, except they don't fall out in the same way that the footballers do and their exuberant coach Max Caldas sees their new attacking philosophy as something with the Dutch psyche at its core. "How long have you got?" Caldas said, when The Independent approached him yesterday on the philosophy of this formidable team of his, which had brushed away the Belgians 3-0 in the day's second game. "It's to attack," hesaid. "Attack from every single point of the pitch. Take risks. Sometimes that comes from the heart – that's the nature of this country. We stay true to who we are…."
Caldas was born in Buenos Aires, though his English makes him sound as Dutch as Martin Jol and his big personality has enabled the Dutch players to coalesce around an individual who does not take himself too seriously. "I love good food but enough is enough," he said recently, admitting in the Dutch press that he was having to shed pounds.
Caldas feels, as do the British hockey squads, that the pace of game has moved on significantly since Beijing, where the Dutch took gold. But he shares the feeling in the international hockey fraternity that Kerry's squad's decision to closet themselves away working full-time at Bisham Abbey, since the disappointment of sixth place in Beijing, makes them the most improved squad of the past four years. "They are one of the best now. There's no doubt about it," he added.
The difficulty is that everyone else has upped the ante, too. New Zealand's shock 1-0 win over Australia proving another point Caldas wanted to make about the women's competition. "In Beijing there was much bigger difference between the top three or four and the rest," he said. "Now it's different. There's going to be a lot of swapping points in the pools and we are waiting to see who gets up there and wins. Is it going to happen for us? I wouldn't have a clue. Are we going to go for it? Absolutely. GB, I think, is right up there. You've the Argies, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the USA."
Cullen had a shot saved from Japan's redoubtable keeper Sakiyo Asano in the second half and she also hit the post, though Kerry's side could do more damage and actually sustained some. Walsh had to be helped off after being hit with a stick. The GB chants and a lone trumpeter were in union at the end, though it was relief, rather than euphoria, which showed on their faces as they took the left the field with a job done. They will feel they can cement this start tomorrow against South Korea – world ranked eighth but beaten4-0 by China yesterday. Then come the bigger challenges. No one will be sleeping.

Andrea , child of God, wife of Tim , mama of L, B, J, J, G
I'm on a healthy mission.
Hi, I don't have any specific info about how it works, but I have been taking it for 2ish weeks now, and I can say that I'm pleased. I am 11 months post partum and hadn't gotten AF yet. I had a chemical pregnancy, so obviously I O'd, but I believe my progesterone was too low to sustain it. Anyway, it had been several weeks and I still wasn't getting AF. I started temping in the AM and had temps around 97.5, then I took one capsule of vitex and the next morning my temp was up to 98.3. The next couple of mornings my temps were still high, then after 3 days AF showed up, and it's been a really normal period. I'm only taking 1 capsule daily (so it's a pretty low dose), but I think that's a good amount for my body. Anyway, I just wanted to chime in to say that I've had good results so far, although I haven't been taking it too long. I know it can take months for some people to see any effect. Also, I did night wean my DD right after the m/c but again the vitex really seemed to help normalize my hormones.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation will halt all lane closure activity on interstates and state highways for the busy Labor Day holiday travel period. Construction crews will stop all lane closure activity beginning at noon on Friday through 6 a.m. on Tuesday. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists traveling during the busy Labor Day holiday.
"AAA predicts Friday and Monday to be the busiest travel times during the Labor Day holiday weekend," said TDOT Commissioner John Schroer.
While lane closure activity will be stopped, workers will still be on site in many construction zones, and drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits. Drivers convicted of speeding in work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possible increased insurance premiums.
"Drivers can expect to see an increased number of law enforcement personnel on the roads this Labor Day weekend," said Governor's Highway Safety Office Director Kendell Poole. "We want everyone to have a safe holiday, so remember to buckle up, drive the speed limit and don't get behind the wheel if you've had too much to drink or are impaired in any way."
Nationwide travel is expected to see a 1.4 percent increase from last year's numbers. The summer travel season is expected to close with an estimated 35 million travelers taking a trip of 50 miles or more away from home. AAA Auto Club South projects that 590,037 Tennesseans will travel by car this Labor Day holiday, a slight decrease in travel through the state compared to last year's numbers. Nationwide, 86 percent of holiday travelers will choose to drive to their destinations.

AVONDALE, Ariz. – As Kevin Harvick streaked to victory when Carl Edwards ran out of fuel on the last lap Sunday, Jimmie Johnson moved closer to a sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.
Harvick beat Kasey Kahne of Enumclaw by 1.796 seconds in the AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. Neither seemed likely to win until the cars came to the white flag signaling one lap to go and Edwards' No. 99 Ford ran out of fuel.
"We just miscalculated," Edwards, who finished 21st, said of his Roush Fenway Racing team. "I thought we were a lap to the good. I was saving just a little bit of fuel, but obviously not enough.
"I don't know if I could have saved a lap and kept Kevin behind me, in hindsight, but that's a tough way to lose one there. We haven't run out of fuel in a long time."

Johnson placed third and increased his lead over Matt Kenseth in the Sprint Cup standings from seven to 28 points.
Kenseth, who finished 23rd, called it "an unfortunate, disappointing day. We just were off. We still got a race next weekend and we're going to try to win that."
The season finale is Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida.
The most points a driver earn in a race is 48. There are multiple scenarios, but the least complex one is that Johnson will win the championship if he finishes 23rd or better in the last race.
It doesn't sound as if overconfidence will be a problem.
"Everybody is so eager to predict the champion, but you've got to play the game," said Johnson, who has finished 32nd and 36th in his last two Homestead races. "You've got to run the race, and stuff happens. There's so many variables in one of our races — I think more variables than any pro sport out there."
Kahne was fifth a week earlier at Texas Motor Speedway but is 12th in the 13-driver Chase.
"We've had a lot of things happen to us this year, but we've battled back the last two weeks," Kahne said. "We ran pretty good, fifth and second, so I'm happy about that.
"We'll try to finish off strong at Homestead with another top five and maybe prepare a little better for next year . . ."
Greg Biffle of Vancouver, Wash., was 13th Sunday.
Johnson kept his No. 48 Chevrolet among the leaders for most of the race despite two close calls .
On the opening lap, his car was tapped by Joey Logano's Ford and Johnson briefly lost several positions.
Bumped again on Lap 162 by Edwards, Johnson made a superb save to avoid slamming into the outside fence.
"As I saved it, the car pointed back at the fence and I thought I was going to hit it," Johnson said. "Thankful that didn't happen."

HANOI: Vietnam has released two political activists, the latest high-profile dissidents to be freed as the communist nation comes under increasing international pressure over its human rights record.
Blogger Nguyen Tien Trung said that he and Vi Duc Hoi, a Communist Party official turned democracy campaigner, had been freed on Saturday.
Trung, 30, was serving a seven-year term in Ho Chi Minh City for "subverting the people's administration", while Hoi was jailed for five years for "anti-state propaganda".
"My family and I did not expect I would be released so early," Trung said, adding that he thought his release would be timed with an amnesty marking the anniversary on April 30 of the end of the war with the United States.
Last week Vietnamese authorities freed Cu Huy Ha Vu, one of the country's most prominent dissidents who had been jailed for seven years for "anti-state activity" after trying to sue the prime minister.
The US embassy said he had left for America, without giving further details.
The one-party state is regularly denounced by rights groups and Western governments for its intolerance of political dissent and violations of freedom of religion.
New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) welcomed the decisions but still condemned Vietnam's rights record.
"Vietnam's prisons still hold hundreds more political prisoners who should be immediately and unconditionally released," HRW's Asia deputy director Phil Robertson said.
"Until that happens it's impossible to say that Vietnam is making appreciable progress on human rights," he added. — AFP

Angels interested in Bronson Arroyo, Bartolo Colon
Nov 24, 2013, 3:08 PM EDT
The Angels acquired third baseman David Freese from the Cardinals last week and inked reliever Joe Smith to a three-year, $15.75 million free agent contract on Saturday. Now Anaheim is zeroing in on its biggest offseason need — starting pitching.
According to Jim Bowden of ESPN and SiriusXM, the Halos have expressed interest in free agent starters Bronson Arroyo and Bartolo Colon. Arroyo, 36, is said to be seeking a three-year contract. Colon, 40, can probably be had for a one- or two-year deal.
The Angels posted a 4.23 staff ERA in 2013 that ranked 24th in the majors. Only the Blue Jays, Mariners, Phillies, Rockies, Twins and Astros were worse.
Arroyo registered a 3.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 124/34 K/BB ratio in 202 innings with the Reds this past season. Colon had a 2.65 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 117/29 K/BB ratio in 190 1/3 innings with the A's.
- asimonetti88 - Nov 24, 2013 at 3:26 PM
I like that they're looking at starting pitchers, but they need to get younger, not older. As much fun as a Colon reunion would be.

Naturally you'd want younger pitchers, but so would everyone else. And they don't have what it takes to pry one from someone else by trade.
But if Kendrick could net something, I'd rather they trade him, as they have enough offense from the other positions to live with Green/Romine at 2nd. And he'd free up more salary than Trumbo after arbitration.
- asimonetti88 - Nov 24, 2013 at 3:49 PM
I heard they had an opportunity to trade Kendrick for Zach Lee. Shame they didn't pull the trigger on that one. I have to agree Howie is the best trade option, he's a fun player to watch but we need to get better.

this is about the 13th time I hear that a team is interested in arroyo .
- soundsofsuccess7 - Nov 24, 2013 at 3:39 PM
Arroyo would be a great option, we need innings!!
- km9000 - Nov 24, 2013 at 3:47 PM
And apparently he's good at holding runners. What a concept.
- cowboysoldiertx - Nov 24, 2013 at 4:35 PM
They will end up over paying in money and/or years for either. Id try to trade Trumbo for pitching. Power always nets something good.

Marlins have Turner and Eovaldi
- 4d3fect - Nov 24, 2013 at 5:00 PM
I'm not saying these pitchers are dogs, it just seems that the Angels FO is kind of flailing about right now.
Maybe since 2002, actually.
- maikoch - Nov 24, 2013 at 5:46 PM
Smith has been about a 2 WAR player for the last three years. If he continues that, $15M is a relative bargain.

WASHINGTON - CIA Director David Petraeus resigned as head of the leading US spy agency on Friday, saying he had engaged in an extramarital affair and acknowledging he "showed extremely poor judgment."In a letter to the CIA workforce, Petraeus, 60, said he met with US President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday and asked "to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position.""After being married for 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," he wrote. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."Obama, who was re-elected to a second term on Tuesday, said in a statement he had accepted Petraeus' resignation, praising him for his work at the Central Intelligence Agency and for leading US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.The woman with whom the former CIA director had the affair is Paula Broadwell, according to a person familiar with the matter. She is an author who wrote a biography of Petraeus titled All In.Attempts to reach Broadwell were unsuccessful. There was no answer at the door of her house in the affluent Charlotte, North Carolina, neighborhood of Dilworth.Much about the sudden and dramatic turn of events remained unknown Friday evening, including how long the affair had gone on and what prompted Petraeus to resign now, just days after the 2012 presidential election.There were indications, however, that the affair was first uncovered a few months ago during an investigation by the FBI. A US national security source said the FBI had stumbled across evidence of Petraeus' affair during an apparently unrelated investigation of news leaks.Petraeus' revelation of the affair appeared to end the public career of a widely admired warrior-scholar who played a key role in the Iraq war, led the US Central Command and commanded US and NATO troops in Afghanistan.Petraeus' name had circulated speculatively as a possible Republican presidential nominee before Obama tapped him as CIA chief. Before taking the CIA post, he retired as an Army general after nearly four decades of military service.Petraeus led the CIA for only 14 months. His sudden departure threatened to usher in a period of instability at the spy agency, which is grappling with a leveling off in its budget after a decade of steady increases.The agency is also fending off questions about its performance before and after the attack that led to the death of US Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi, Libya.US officials insisted the CIA's handling of the Benghazi incident had nothing to do with Petraeus' decision to resign.Petraeus had been slated to testify on Benghazi attackPetraeus recently traveled to Libya and the Middle East, and had been scheduled to testify about the Benghazi events next week behind closed doors to the House and Senate intelligence committees. Now, he will not give that testimony.There is no indication Petraeus broke any agency rule in connection with his admitted affair, sources familiar with the matter said. The CIA has no broad rule banning officials from engaging in extramarital affairs though, if discovered, liaisons by CIA personnel with suspected foreign agents would pose security problems for a US agent.In his statement, Obama said "I am completely confident that the CIA will continue to thrive and carry out its essential mission."Obama, who accepted Petraeus' resignation in a phone call with him on Friday afternoon, said Michael Morell, the agency's long-time deputy director, would serve as acting CIA chief.Morell is a leading candidate to be Petraeus' permanent successor, sources said. He earned Obama's trust when he frequently briefed the president during planning for the operation to take down Osama bin Laden, a senior administration official said."He's respected, a straight shooter, and has great relationships with the White House and Capitol Hill. Not to mention over 30 years of agency experience," said a former CIA official, who called Morell "the odds-on favorite."Other possible candidates being discussed on Capitol Hill include John Brennan, Obama's chief counter-terrorism adviser; Obama's national security adviser Thomas Donilon; and former congresswoman Jane Harman, who chaired the House intelligence committee.

"I love and enjoy making jewelry. I am lost in concentration whenever I'm designing jewelry. I never feel bored even though it may take a very long time to complete a piece."
"I'm Saranarat Ratanaporn, born in Bangkok and a graduated of Chiang Mai University with a bachelor's degree from the Humanities faculty. Right after my graduation, I started to work in Bangkok in interior design for a while, until making jewelry took up all of my time.
"In olden days, gemstone jewelry was regarded as expensive, elegant fine jewelry. The stone was perfectly cut into shape, so it was not suitable for everyday wear. However I like the natural look of the stone, or with very little enhancements.
"I started to make jewelry for myself by knitting, tie and threading. I highlighted the charm and the beauty of the stone as much as possible. People loved my jewelry so much so, that they often asked to buy it. So I started making jewelry on the side, creating original designs different from the fine jewelry others were already wearing.
"Once, I made a special necklace design for a competition organized by OTOP - One Tambon One Product - an entrepreneurship stimulus program aimed at supporting locally made and marketed products of each Thai tambon (subdistrict). My necklace got awarded five-stars!
"A year later, I made bag from coconut shell. I knitted the shoulder bag with beautiful gemstones. I received the award again. During that time I received a lot of attention from several types of media, including TV and magazines, who came to interview me. Since then I quit my job as an interior designer, and started to design and work with jewelry full time. I also enrolled in a gemstone institute in order to enhance my knowledge.
"I love and enjoy making jewelry. I am lost in concentration whenever I'm designing jewelry. I never feel bored even though it may take a very long time to complete a piece. Some pieces have a lot details and require more complexity in the knitting or bending wire. But it's always fun to do. Some pairs of earrings could take up to one day to finish. I feel encouraged every time my customers show their appreciation toward my products.
"I currently work with a team of 20 women who play an important role in the crafting of my jewelry designs. Every piece has different details. Some of the pieces may require bending wire over 100 times, which can take several days. The women are happy to work with beautiful designs, they feel refreshed and excited every time they take on a new design. They are constantly practicing and working to ensure top quality in their work. I think that to have a good colleague is extremely good luck.
"I always follow fashion trends in order to design jewelry that is up to date.
"When I feel discouraged or feel tired of work, I usually look at my gemstone collection, such as the Buddha image carved from natural stone and I always feel better and relaxed. It inspires me.
"I am glad that my work will be featured on Novica's website and I look forward to receiving your support, thanks very much."
