May 5, 2016
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Attorneys for Florida A&M University are asking a judge in Orlando to dismiss a civil lawsuit brought by the family of a school drum major who died last year after being hazed by fellow band members.
Attorneys are going before Circuit Judge Walter Komanski on Wednesday, claiming that Robert Champions' fatal injuries were the result of his agreeing to participate in hazing.
Champion's parents, who live in Georgia, filed a lawsuit contending university officials did not take action to stop hazing even though a school dean proposed suspending the famed Marching 100 band just days before their son died. The lawsuit also alleges that school officials fell short in enforcing anti-hazing policies.
Champion's parents rejected a $300,000 settlement offer from the university earlier this month.

Funny or Die is a new game based on the comedy website FunnyorDie.com. The object of the game is to match photos and captions to make the funniest joke and win the money. The player with the most money is the "most funny" and the winner.
To start, each player receives five cards, 10 $1,000 Funny or Die bills, one Funny token, and one Die token. Then, players take turns rolling the die. If you roll a camera, take three cards from the deck and lay them on the table picture-side up. If you roll a speech bubble, pull three cards from the deck and lay them on the table caption-side up. If you roll a star, you get to choose if you want the cards picture-side or caption-side up.
Underneath the camera or speech bubble on the die is a monetary amount: $1,000, $2,000, or $4,000. Each player places the amount of money shown on the die into the center of the table.
Then, players choose a card from their hand, matching a photo to a caption or a caption to a photo. You're trying to make the funniest pair. Once everyone has played a card, it's time to vote. Each player places their Funny token face-down on a card pair and their Die token face-down on another card pair. (You can't vote for yourself.) Flip the tokens and count the votes. The card pair with the most Funny tokens wins, and the person who played the winning card takes the pile of money from the center. Everyone then takes back their tokens, and a new round begins.
There are also Fill-in-the-Blank cards on which players can use their own word or phrase to complete the caption. You can also play with Joker Cards by adding your own caption or photo.
Funny or Die comes with 247 cards, a money pack, a die, six Funny tokens, six Die tokens, and a label sheet for the die. It is for three to six players.
Fans of the website Funny or Die will enjoy seeing funny pictures and captions from the site in this game. This game challenges players to think creatively to make jokes that will score them points. Even though the game can be played with three players, we think the more players you have, the funnier the game will be. It also helps if you're playing with people who have a sense of humor and aren't afraid to act silly or view content that might be offensive.
Funny or Die is for ages 13 and up.
This game includes images of extreme stunts that should not be recreated, mild nudity, and other content that might be offensive to some players.

Considering I was a fan of the graphic novel the movie was loosely based on, I was surprised it took me so long to watch Wanted. What I missed in the theaters was a non-stop kinetic action flick starring Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James McAvoy as assassins in a secret organization called The Fraternity. Their job is to eliminate individuals who will eventually upset the blance of order in the world. How different was the movie from the book? I would say the spirit of Mark Millar's story was present but much of the plot and characters were changed, specifically instead of super-villains in the book they are assassins. Wanted is further evidence that 2008 was the year of the great comic book movie.

Freelance Photographer on the Road to Homelessness
Unemployment benefits are a good thing. You work a job for 4 years throughout college and graduate, but contrary to popular opinion, a degree is not immediately followed by gainful employment. This situation leaves one option: stick with the mindless 9-5 or 5-close until you can land a job that has thing-one in common with the $50k debt you now carry. That is, until you are canned because of a down economy.
It only takes a few hours before you ask yourself, "Where's my slice"? Young professionals need to be aware of the programs available to them such as Unemployment Benefits, Federal Student Loan Consolidation, and recent Health Care reforms. Taxpaying citizens all have the right to take back when necessary. The pennies you get from unemployment hardly compare to the amount of income tax you've paid the past four years…
When I was laid off from my day job I had no choice but to file unemployment. Now I have six months to get this photography ship off the ground. Freelance photography is far from "all fun and games", but it probably is the coolest job around. Come July, if I can't pay my rent I'll be headed out to get a dead end job. Until then its GOVT cheese for me. Otherwise I'm sure my degree can get me a hat, horn, and spot on the corner to scream for change. Maybe then some cliché photography student will take pictures of me!

Revealing a Shocking Secret
August 4, 2000
Leslie was born a male. In order to align her body with the person she had always been inside, she had surgery to become a woman. She wants to meet someone, but has a question for Dr. Phil: When is the best time to present her change of gender to the men she meets?
Dr. Phil's Advice
- No relationship is any good if it's based on deception.
- Be at peace with your decision. You made a serious commitment. You removed body parts, and you can't put them back.
- Know what the price is. Did you realize that there would be social implications? You have to expect that there might not be a broad range of acceptance among the male population.
- The second the relationship becomes relevant -- if it's emotionally relevant, if it's romantically relevant, if it's relationship relevant -- you have to tell the truth.
- Your gender change won't be relevant to a lot of your relationships. If you're buying a house, it's not relevant to the realtor what you're sexual or gender history is. If you're forming an intimate, emotional or sexual relationship, it's something people want to know.
- Be prepared to be open and honest with people going into the relationship so they don't feel betrayed. The further you get into the relationship, the more they're going to feel betrayed if you tell them later.
- Are you prepared to have a relationship with yourself? You might never have someone with whom you want to have a relationship that is accepting of the choices you made.

Tennessee SC 19 Boys Elite Treasurer
The Tennessee SC 2019 Elite Boys are the 2014-15 Tennessee State Soccer Division 2 Finalists for the second year in a row.
In June 2014 the 2019 Elite Boys made it to the Division 2 Championship but lost to a strong FC Dallas TRI team. Coach Wade Wonderlin did an amazing job with that group of boys.
Thanks in part to its very strong play last Spring, nearly half of the previous 2019 Elite team was promoted to other club Division 1 teams. Coach Gift Ndam took over with the 2019 Elite team and drew other talented boys from other TSC D2 & D3 teams.
2019 Elite successfully qualified for the State Cup via Division 2 State League despite significant injuries including a State League match without the team's keeper. The 2019 Elite Boys were the third seed in the Division 2 West Bracket after State Qualifying against solid teams from Clarksville SC and CSA Lobos Elite.
The 2019 Elite Boys started their Division State Cup match against local rival Eagle Express. The teams competed hard on the field and then traded handshakes after the game as friends from opposite teams congratulated each other. The 2019 Elite Boys took the match 4-1 via a brace from Mitchell Bruce, a goal from Hunter Hollis and an own goal by Eagle Express.
In the second match, 2019 Elite faced a rematch with Clarksville SC. The Clarksville SC team has improved tremendously over the last several years thanks to great coaching. Clarksville SC defeated the 2019 Elite Boys 5-0 in State League play on the boys' home field at Brentwood Academy. Thanks to a goal differential advantage, the 2019 Elite Boys needed just a tie to advance. Hunter Hollis scored an early goal to give 2019 Elite the 1-0 advantage. Coach Gift then led the boys to a hard fought victory as a quality Clarksville SC team continued to apply pressure. The defensive backline played tremendously and keeper Ryan Roland was up to the task with all shots, posting his first clean sheet of the D2 State competition. Tennessee SC 2019 Elite held on to a 1-0 advantage and took all 6 points in the flight to earn another trip back to the Division 2 State Final.
On Sunday November 9th the 2019 Elite Boys faced off against a quality Murfreesboro Strikers Premier team. MSC's top team won the Division 2 State Title in 2012-13 and swept their State League qualifiers & early State Cup games by an aggregate of 37-0. 2019 Elite would have a real challenge on their hands playing against MSC's top team.
2019 Elite fought hard but the effects of 3 games in just under 24 hours also began to show through. 2019 Elite conceded two goals in the first half and looked to just be surviving. The 2019 Elite Boys showed real heart in the beginning of the second half and pressed forward, with several good opportunities to be the first team to score against MSC Premier - but nothing materialized. In the end MSC added another goal via a penalty kick and the final score was 3-0 Murfreesboro.
Regardless, the 2019 Elite Boys are a testimony to the value of a deep academy system in a large club, as the team was able to pull several boys from lower teams into the Division 2 ranks and again make the Division 2 Final. Congrats to Coach Gift and all of his boys for their hard work and great results to show for it. The 2019 Elite Boys will continue to train together this Fall, Winter and Spring with an emphasis on team work, player development and FUN.
The Tennessee SC 2019 Elite Boys qualified for the TN Soccer Division 2 State Cup tournament the weekend of November 7-9, 2014.
The 2019 Elite Boys were D2 Finalists in June, 2014. They now look to improve that result for their U14 season. They'll kick off the D2 tournament on Saturday, November 8 versus Eagle Express before a match against Clarksville SC.
Good luck to the 2019 Elite Boys & all other TSC teams playing in the State Cup this coming weekend!

[Adobe IBC 2013] [Karl Millier] We're here at IBC 2013, talking to Jason Levine, principal worldwide evangelist for Creative Cloud. Jason, I understand you just got back from the Create Now World Tour. Tell us what exactly is that? [Jason Levine] Well, it was a world tour that took us to around—it grew over time— but myself and several of my colleagues visited about 20 different cities across Europe and Asia, spoke to over 12,000 people, and talked to them directly about all the things that are in Creative Cloud, whether it's their favorite applications, some of our new services and things like Behance, or how to use storage, how to create iPad apps— so basically all the elements of Creative Cloud— show them, teach them, train them, inspire them, and inspire them to want to work together and leverage all the collaborative capabilities of Adobe Creative Cloud as it is today. [Karl Miller] Wow, that's awesome. What were people's reactions? What did they think? [Jason Levine] They're reactions were amazing. We initially were wondering how people would take to a membership, subscription type model, but what they realized is as we discussed the realities of Creative Cloud being agile, being able to deliver new features when they're ready, so the box experience is gone. We've got new stuff coming. We're showing stuff here that is coming to the Cloud. We had updates in July for Premiere. We have 150 updates this time around. Once people really got that, it made complete sense, and on top of that, it also showcases that we're listening. We're here. We're listening to what they're asking for. We're developing, we're staying current, we're staying on top of things, particularly in the video business where every week it seems like there's a new camera, a new codec, and we have to support that, and we have to typically support them natively. It was extremely well-received. It's funny, not just the applications, but a lot of the other elements of Creative Could— like Typekit and I mentioned Behance— these things really spoke to a lot of our users, and it also allowed us for the first time to see just how many people were already using Typekit, Behance, and were already sort of part of these huge creative communities around the world. [Karl Miller] That's great. So now the current tour just ended. Is there going to be another one coming up? [Jason Levine] Interestingly enough, we have a week from yesterday— so 6 days from now we've got Creative Now San Francisco, so we'll be showcasing, again, all new workflows. [Karl Miller] That's great. I can go that one. [Jason Levine] Yeah, that's right. So all new workflows, all new different features in Photoshop, again in Premiere and After Effects and Prelude and SpeedGrade, all the web tools—Edge Reflow, Edge Animate— and just really showcase all the things that Creative Cloud has to offer to really a diverse creative audience, and we'll be taking it to several other cities across the US and Canada over the next couple of months. [Karl Miller] Okay, great. If people want to learn more is there somewhere they can go. [Jason Levine] Yeah, so they can go to the Adobe Creative Cloud Facebook page, and I believe we've got links there to actually register for the events. They can see all the various events and the various cities. Currently right now I think we've got 10 or 12 that are already scheduled, so you can register now. There are more TBDs like New York City and several others coming towards the end of the year, and it's really going to be great. [Karl Miller] All right. Awesome. Well, thank you so much for talking to us and thanks for watching. [Adobe® Creative Cloud™] [Adobe®]

Every detail was taken care of, and all connections were on time. We were extremely pleased, couldn't stop telling everyone about our great trip. Each room / hotel was better than the last. Wow great holiday!
We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.
I would highly recommend this company for overseas travel. We had personal drivers that spoke perfect English and were also very knowledgeable in conversation pertaining to their country. Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels.
Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.
Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.
Very prompt at getting information back to us and very helpful with any changes we wanted.
This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald.
The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

A Confederate battle flag hung inside the old North Carolina State Capitol to mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War is being taken down after civil rights leaders raised concerns.
Cultural Resources Secretary Susan Kluttz said Friday night that the intent of the exhibit was to represent the State Capital as it was in 1863.
Kluttz said the exhibit was temporary. But since she's learned that Gov. Pat McCrory plans to use the old House chamber as working space, the display will come down this weekend.
The flag was to remain on display through April 2015.
McCrory spokeswoman Kim Genardo said the flag exhibit will be relocated, possibly to the N.C. Museum of History. A final decision is expected next week.

Good to see Tony W. back.
His shot
of the Mustang at Zion inspired me to haul out this one I took a year later, June 1972, near Lake Tahoe. Those were the days when, if a car happened to zip by as you were taking a shot, the chances of it being a VW Beetle were whole orders of magnitude greater than today. It's one of the interesting time-capsule details you notice in films of that period that have a lot of location filming, like on the streets of San Francisco in Bullitt or Dirty Harry; the sheer quantity of those things.

Burke family
this wiki
Burke is the surname of a pure-blood[1] wizarding family. They are related to the Black, Flint[2] and possibly the Malfoy families and they may be the co-owners of the Knockturn Alley shop Borgin and Burkes, which specializes in Dark artefacts.
Family Members
- Belvina Burke née Black — the only daughter of Phineas Nigellus Black and Ursula Flint
- Caractacus Burke — one of the original founders of Borgin and Burkes
- Elizabeth Burke — a witch with a portrait in the Slytherin Dungeon of Hogwarts Castle who encourages Slytherin students to be "mean to Mudbloods"
- Herbert Burke — husband of Belvina Black
Burke is an old English term meaning "to murder by suffocation...for the purpose of obtaining a body to be sold for dissection". It can also be a variant of the British slang term berk, meaning "idiot".[3] Burke is also a real surname common in Britain and Ireland. It comes from the Norman de Burgo which was Anglicised in Irish as de Búrca.
In the real world, Edmund Burke, generally known only by his surname, was an Anglo-Irish political philosopher who argued in favour of traditional monarchism. Thus perhaps the Burke family having many members as pure blood supremacists is meant as an allusion to this historical figure.
Notes and references
- ↑ Given that Herbert Burke married Belvina Black and that she was not disowned or removed from the Black tapestry for the marriage, it can be assumed that Herbert was pure-blood.
- ↑ Black family tree
- ↑ Wiktionary Definition: Burke

WASHINGTON The Pentagon announced Thursday night it would resume flights of its F-35 fighter jets, which were grounded a week ago after a crack was discovered in an engine of a test plane.
"F-35 flight operations have been cleared to resume," Pentagon spokeswoman Kyra Hawn said.
No additional cracks were found during inspections of engines in the rest of the F-35 fleet or in any spare engines, Hawn said.
Matthew Bates, a spokesman for Pratt & Whitney, which supplies the engines for the planes, said the Pentagon's F-35 program office had decided to lift a temporary suspension of flight operations after it conducted extensive tests on the affected engine part. Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp, is sole supplier of engines to the $396 billion F-35, or Joint Strike Fighter. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for the radar-evading jet, the biggest weapons program in history.
The tests showed a crack in a turbine blade stemmed from the "unique operating environment" in flight tests rather than a design flaw, he said.
Bates said Pratt had been working around the clock with Pentagon officials to determine the cause of the crack in the engine blade.
"The team has determined that root cause is sufficiently understood for the F-35 to safely resume flight," Bates said.
The engine in question had operated during testing at high temperatures more than four times longer than a typical F-35 flight, which led to a separation of the "grain boundary" of this particular blade, he said.
Current engines would not reach the same "hot time" for years, Pratt engineers have said, which would allow the Pentagon to impose incremental limits on engine use and monitor them for possible component replacement, one of the sources said.
"Basically this engine was run for an extraordinary amount of time at very high power in a short period of time," said a source, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
The Pentagon announced the grounding of all F-35 warplanes last Friday after an inspection revealed a crack on a turbine blade in the jet engine of an F-35 being tested at Edwards Air Force Base in Kern County.
It was the second engine-related grounding in two months of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The Marine Corps version of the plane was grounded for nearly a month starting in mid-January because of a faulty hose in the engine.
In a related matter, Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, who runs the F-35 program for the Pentagon, slammed Pratt and Lockheed during an air show in Australia on Wednesday, accusing the companies of trying to "squeeze every nickel" out of the United States government and failing to see the long-term benefits of the project.
"What I see Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney doing today is behaving as if they are getting ready to sell me the very last F-35 and the very last engine and are trying to squeeze every nickel out of that last F-35 and that last engine," Bogdan told reporters at the Australian International Airshow in southern Victoria state.
Bogdan was in Australia seeking to convince lawmakers and generals to stick to a plan to buy 100 of the jets, an exercise complicated by the second grounding of the plane this year and looming U.S. defense cuts.
"I want them both to start behaving like they want to be around for 40 years," he added. "I want them to take on some of the risk of this program, I want them to invest in cost reductions, I want them to do the things that will build a better relationship. I'm not getting all that love yet."
Bogdan's tough remarks sent shock waves through the Pentagon and U.S. industry.
Lockheed said it was "singularly focused" on executing its contracts to develop, produce and sustain the new warplane, and insisted it was on track to finish development by 2017.
Pratt & Whitney issued a strongly worded response later Wednesday, saying it had invested heavily to cut the cost of the plane's engine and was shouldering more risk than usual.

Buying Group Power
Buying Group Power specializes in buying large volume of electricity and gas directly for the supplier. The concept is to have a big group of people that would make big savings.
To design a brand identity that reflected the concept of the company visual on promotional materials.
To create a simpler understanding of what 'Buying group power' does, we have done this by using simple yet effective illustrations shows that the buying power separately is expensive but buying in a group is more cost effective. The logo looks at first a splat of ink, but looking more closely you can see silhouettes of people in a group which is clever with this we then went to put this onto business cards, letterheads and compliments slips.
Hi Optics
Hioptic are aerial photography specialists who take on photography commissions for clients across the UK. Their crisp and captivating aerial shots are snapped using hovering drones and carefully positioned mast cameras. Founder Jamie Cooper has more than 20 years' experience in the photography trade with his images widely published in print and broadcast on screen in the UK and USA.
Although Jamie is a well-established and published photographer, when he came to Rak Design he didn't have a company or brand established to promote his niche service in aerial photography. Our brief was to create a corporate identity for Jamie's photography business, including a name and logo which reflected the service and product.
Rak Design brainstormed company names, looking for words which would reflect the nature of this niche business. We finally settled on Hioptics, which combined the key elements of the service in a catchy and effective term. The first logo which we created for Hioptics drew heavily from the flying drone camera used in much of Jamie's work. It was depicted as an illustration of a camera with wings, conjuring up a mythical 'eye in the sky.' Hioptic needed another logo which captured the mast photography element of the business. We created a much more solid, modern version of the logo, retaining the wings as a reference to the height of the camera.
Lorentz are a German manufacturer of solar powered water pumping solutions well established in the international market. Their solar pumps are built for off-grid, rural and often hostile environments which require reliable and simple solutions. By harnessing the power of the sun, Lorentz are able to bring fresh, clean water to communities and individuals across the world for drinking, irrigation and responsible leisure applications. With over 20 years' experience in pioneering design and manufacture of solar pumps, Lorentz are global market leaders in this important area and active in over 120 countries.
Lorentz came to Rak Design needing help with its global corporate identity. This manufacturing company already had a logo and Lorentz was keen to maintain the integrity of the existing design, which incorporated its company name and sun emblem, but this needed subtle redevelopment to iron out some reproduction issues. Lorentz already had a corporate identity in place, however with footholds in so many countries across the world the corporate brand often became diluted or lost. This international company require a mechanism to reinforce a consistent corporate identity across borders.
Rak Design redeveloped the logo, taking out the fine black lines from the sun emblem which disappeared when the logo was reduced in size. We softened the edges of the rays and left the spaces in the image white, whilst tilting the whole logo slightly. The softening and angling of the logo creates a much more contemporary presence. In order to facilitate a consistent and accessible corporate identity across borders, Rak Design developed an in-house corporate style guide for Lorentz. This guide clearly sets out correct and incorrect use of colour schemes, logo use and positioning, strapline, identity angles, and application logos. Designed to be an easy-to-use reference for corporate identity in the international market, the guide has enabled Lorentz to create consistency in its global branding.
CITI Ltd offers high level business management courses to further enhance individuals skills.
A pitch for the redesign of their corporate identity and brand guidelines.
Our solution was to inject vibrancy and create an aspirational feel to their images by introducing bright colour and energetic lifestyle photography.

To create an instantly recognisable logo which reflects the contemporary, fashionable nature of Sarah Bird's Boutique and which appeals to the target demographic of women.
Rak Design developed three logos which incorporated bold colours, fashion accessories and items, an "S" symbol representing the company name and references to the gender and "Britishness."

HS Jewellers
HS Jewellers is well known for whole selling in the Asian industry.
This new logo needed to reflect the fact that the client specialises in platinum, white and yellow gold.
We kept it clean and simple with white and grey tones giving the impression of metal on a black background and the simple addition of a yellow Goldstar denoting not only the last precious metal but representing the star flash of a special occasion.
DJ Sat Paradigm
DJ Sat is a very well established DJ in the Asian party scene and specialises in Asian weddings and special occasions. Ready to get any party going with his own unique blend of floor fillers, DJ Sat has been playing out his tunes to private and corporate functions for two decades. Formerly of Nu Soundz Disco, DJ Sat is working on a new brand to bring his beats to great parties now and in the future.
The DJ Sat brand needed a revamp and Rak Design was tasked with developing the branding for a new night. This should be contemporary yet draw on Asian influences. We also needed to create a range of appropriate promotional items for building the brand identity.
In partnership with DJ Sat, Rak Design developed a new brand for the DJ's parties, launched under the name 'Paradigm' and with the strapline 'music entertainment that rocks'. We created a simple yet modern, eye-catching logo for the DJ Sat presents Paradigm brand. We developed cool, contemporary imagery to promote the brand, using bright colours and images of dancers, music emblems and the man himself. Finally we used this imagery to create a promotional stand, a new website and jackets bearing the brand logo.

Active Sound Control
Active Sound Control specialises in acoustic sound within buildings and sound recording studios. Cutting out unwanted noise and vibration.
Logo Design brief was to design - visually be simple, give indication of what they provide as service and be memorable.
We simply added the sound waves to indicate the type of services they provided within the company name to avoid extra element in the corporate identity. Corporate identity works in colour and in mono.
Check Services
Check Services are pest control auditors for the food and allied industries, producing technical reports for a number of well-known hotel chains, supermarkets and food manufacturing companies including some of the largest bakeries, mills and cereal manufacturers in the UK.
To revamp Check Service's corporate identity. Although Check Services were very attached to their existing logo and didn't want to completely change it, it did need to be retouched. Corporate Identity was to be strengthened by the development of relevant graphics for promotional materials, business cards and letterheads.
Rak Design began with the task of retouching the logo. We analysed the inconsistencies in the alignment of the existing logo which make it difficult to reproduce. Then we redrew the logo in six options, ranging from the straightened up logo, to adding a coloured background, to a final option taking the logo 3D. Although Check Services had decided at the outset they didn't want to make changes to the existing logo, we were pleased to exceed their expectations in presenting six logo options with the company finally choosing the dynamic 3D version. In this way, we managed to maintain the integrity of the existing logo whilst still evolving Check Service's corporate identity using simple 3D arrow imagery which was extended across promotional materials and letterheads.
Salcey Cabinet Makers
Salcey Cabinet Makers is small family ran company that prides themselves on high end bespoke furniture and fitted kitchens.
A new corporate identity was needed with a sympathetic approach that would modernise but retain the 'traditional' feel of the company.
We used a plaque style outline with modern style lettering but incorporated traditional hand carpentry tools to emphasise the bespoke workmanship they do. The addition of a strap line made this a striking and memorable logo. Salcey felt it represented them to their core values and service they offer.We also created, stationary, advertising, and exhibition stands for the company.
Rinedata are a corporate performance management consultancy providing a focused range of consultancy services around corporate performance and data metrics for FTSE companies. Their services help their prestigious client base to achieve a faster return on investments with flexible business intelligence solutions. Rinedata are Gold Partners with SAP, world leaders in enterprise software and software related service, and winner of the SAP EMEA Excellence Award in Analytics in 2013.
Rinedata required a full corporate identity rebranding package, beginning with a logo design. The rebranding needed to reflect the company's business intelligence data product and appeal to Rinedata's client base of high performing white-collar companies.
Developing Rinedata's corporate identity began with a logo to reflect business data. The final choice represents bytes of data through versatile square blocks. This flexible logo can easily be manipulated into alternative forms, conveying a range of business qualities and services whilst still linking to Rinedata's overarching corporate identity, thus making it an ideal branding tool. Rak Design also developed a corporate video introducing Rinedata and its service, which is shown on the home page of its website.
Weston Ltd
Weston Pharmacy began as a family run pharmacy with a number of high street branches. This growing company has sought out innovative ways to deliver pharmacy care to its customers and has explored international and online trading. Weston Pharmacy offers an online pharmaceutical service where patients can fill NHS and private prescriptions on the website and have them delivered straight to their front door, bringing pharmacy services straight to the customer.
Weston Pharmacy came to us requiring a full corporate identity package to build its brand and establish the client's growing business in the pharmacy and healthcare market. Rak Design was to create a logo and develop the corporate identity for consistent and instantly recognisable branding across stationery, signage and promotional materials. This new logo must represent healthcare and pharmacy services.
Rak Design set out by developing a logo which would form the cornerstone of Weston Pharmacy's new corporate identity. The final logo design incorporates two universally recognisable symbols; a cross plaster for injury and a butterfly for regeneration. This logo is visually very effective in communicating pharmaceutical services as well as being simple to reproduce in print. Rak Design used the new logo to design stationery, shop front signs, in-house promotional materials and finally a new website. The Weston Pharmacy brand is now consistent and easily recognisable whether in a high street store or online.
Gifts & Favours
At Gifts & Favours our goal is to supply unique collection of gifts for every occasion. From photo frames to figurines, wedding favours to art effects, our range of gifts caters for a wide variety be it religious,self treat or something for someone special.
To design a logo which best reflects the company which sells products from India, Pakistan, Dubai & South Africa
With this branding we chose to develop a distinctive typographic solution and colour palette that would provide a solid foundation for the branding of the company, which is a boutique.
Bell Plantation
Bell Landscaping was established in 1984 with the aim of offering specialist high quality but competitively-priced landscaping, our services range from garden redesign to major renovations and building works.
Design a new logo which needs to reflect both soft and hard landscaping. Also produce stationary and a brochure.
We designed a puzzle that looked like a flower or a paving design and used colours that represent the gardening world: green for planting, grey for cement/paving and blue for water features. We separated a segment to be the final part of the jigsaw being put into place for a full package of landscaping services. From designing their logo we went on to designing, copy writing and producing complete stationery and promotional materials.
Allprint Display
Over the last 18 years Allprint has developed from a Trade printers into a full service printers, offering its clients the latest in print technology, along with good old fashioned customer service - a combination which it says never fails to impress.
To design and produce a logo, website, advertising materials and 3D exhibitions visuals.
The use of colour was key to this project, making the company look fun and exciting yet professional, as appropriate for a printers. The format of the brochure illustrates the varied methods of printing, with an illustration for each, thus re-enforcing the creativity of the company.

Didier Reynders pleased with UN report on circumstances of chemical attack in Syria
Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased with the United Nations report describing the circumstances of the chemical attack in Syria on 21 August. Belgium has been asking since the very beginning for this report to be drawn up and published quickly.
This report proves that the hundreds of civilians - including many children - that were killed on 21 August were the victims of a chemical attack. The international community must draw political conclusions from the investigation and must bring those responsible for this war crime before the international criminal court. The information in this report leaves little doubt that the responsibility for this bloodbath lies with President Assad's armed forces.
The priority now is to give form to the agreement of 14 September between Secretary of State John Kerry (USA) and Minister Sergey Lavrov (Russia). As a member of the Executive Council of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Belgium wishes to contribute to this effort. Minister Reynders gave the Permanent Representative to the Council the task of reaching a decision as quickly as possible. This decision must set out the procedures for the rapid neutralisation of the entire Syrian chemical weapon arsenal and introduce a strict control system.
This decision must be reinforced by a UN Security Council resolution. To ensure the credibility of the decision, Belgium hopes that the Security Council can reach a binding resolution, preferably based on Chapter VII. The approval of a resolution is the best guarantee that pressure on the Syrian regime will continue. A resolution would also limit the risk of dissention within the Security Council.
In addition to this diplomatic course, Minister Reynders and his governmental colleagues are also looking at what contribution Belgium can make to the international disarmament initiative in Syria, since our country has technical knowledge in this regard.

My vote goes to the last image. Layering raincoats and gloves is brilliant! Without veering off into kookiness, she has managed at once to be stylish, trendy, age-appropriate, and best of all, artfully humorous.

Being originally from the Pacific Northwest, my own style would be the lady with the mismatched fingerless gloves!

This post reminds me that I really need to get a new pair of gloves. I've given up on my current pair and just stick my hands in my pockets. Meanwhile, that first lady is giving a class in hand modeling that I didn't even know I signed up for. Stunning.

I wore gloves from the time I was 20 until Michael Jackson started wearing that one hideous glove; now I knit my own fingerless gloves, but I really want to get back to wearing my vintage cloth ones! Thanks for this post!

Viserys II Targaryen
this wiki
Viserys II Targaryen, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is not expected to appear in the series, being long dead by the time it begins.
Viserys II was the second King of his name to sit on the Iron Throne and the tenth king of the Targaryen dynasty to rule the Seven Kingdoms. He was an ancestor of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen. He was formally styled Viserys of House Targaryen, the Second of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
Viserys II inherited the throne from his nephew, Baelor I Targaryen. He was the father of Aegon IV Targaryen, who succeeded him in the Iron Throne, and Naerys Targaryen.
Season 1
Viserys II, along with his descendants, are mentioned in the House Targaryen's entry of the book The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Viserys II was the second son of Rhaenyra Targaryen and the younger brother of King Aegon III, the Dragonbane. He served as Hand of the King to both his nephews, Daeron I, the Young Dragon, and Baelor I, the Blessed, helping keep the realm intact first while Daeron warred and then as Baelor prayed. It was rumored that he had the stonemason Baelor had appointed as High Septon poisoned. It was also rumored that he poisoned Baelor, which is the reason he's not remembered fondly. He officially reigned only for a year, but he truly ruled and preserved the land for much longer as Hand of the King, keeping the realm together while Daeron obsessed with fruitless conquests and Baelor obsessed with prayer.
According to a semi-canon source, Viserys II was clean-shaven with long hair. He had a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows and a shrewd, calculating look to him. He wore the simple crown of Aegon III.

If you were a teen in grades 6-12, wouldn't you want to Choose Your Own Adventure? Twenty teens at the Redmond Library did just that, learning computer coding, writing their own stories and turning them into adventure video games of their choice.
The innovative program, which made its debut in 2014, was designed by Redmond Teen Services Librarian Stephanie Zero in partnership with local web site developer, teacher and consultant Cheri Allen, and author Karen Finneyfrock. The four-week workshop, which included a fiction-writing class with Finneyfrock and video game classes with Allen, was limited to 20 students and had a waiting list of 25.
The idea for the program took hold in Zero's mind after she read a University of Washington alumni newsletter about local efforts to create more opportunities for girls to learn computer programming and consider pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
"I related to the fact that I was at first intimidated by coding and computer programming too," said Zero, who earned her graduate degree from the UW Information School. "A lot of girls don't even try it because they think it's too hard, but it isn't. The question was, how do you get them to even consider it?"
The answer, Zero figured, was make it fun. She also figured that her job is "to see a need in the community and try to meet it, by making connections and finding experts." She knew Allen, whose many clients included Girl Develop It, an organization that teaches girls coding and web site development.
"The wheels started turning," Zero said. "Cheri was committed to helping girls, and knew just how to pull the project together to create a story and video game."
What adventures did the students choose? The class repertoire included "Banana Monkeys in Space" and "Zombie Vampires."
There is no doubt, Zero said, the program had an impact on kids previously intimidated by coding. The teens wrote all their own stories, deciding all the options of the video games.
"They were running around in class, so excited, saying, 'Play my game,' 'Check out my game,' "Zero said. "They were so enthused; they even attended class on what could have been a holiday - 4th of July."
