Click here to download UPF16 Programme of Events
Our international festival is now in its ninth year, and I am pleased to announce the dates of this year's event will be Thursday 3 – Tuesday 8 November. UPF has evolved through a number of conversations, research initiatives and exhibitions involving a wide range of partners and contributors from the areas of visual arts, photography and film, education, urban research and the social sciences. Originally, the festival started out as a series of annual Urban Encounters symposia held at Tate Britain and has broadened out to include seminars, workshops, masterclasses, walks, exhibitions and portfolio reviews.
This year, the festival will focus on Photography, Memory and the Archive, collaborating with Tate Modern, Goldsmiths, Kingston and Falmouth Universities, Westminster Kingsway College, the Urban Photographers' Association (UPA), London Independent Photography (LIP), Openvizor, International Urban Photography Summer School (iUPSS), the Old Deptford Police Station, Lewisham Art House, APT Gallery, and Greenwich Gallery. We have also programmed a masterclass with Dario Mitidieri in association with The Mango Lab examining the relationship between urban space and memory. Photographer, architect and curator, Stefano Carnelli has brought together ten exhibitions within the Urban Photo Village, and visitors to the area are encouraged to walk around the area in order to see how the exhibiting artists have responded to the festival theme.
UrbanPhotoFest is also pleased to welcome Tanya Houghton as our festival artist. Tanya will concentrate on how diaspora food cultures create conditions and sites of collective memory, and she will be offering a workshop and installation as part of the festival exhibition programme.
In addition to the main conference which will be held on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 November, we are offering a series of walks on Sunday, where participants will be encouraged to consider how urban spaces relate to social memory, and how notions of 'archive' are shifting and developing as the digital age impacts on cultures of making. There will also be photographic exhibitions at a number of London venues, and more details of the exhibitions programme will follow shortly.
Finally, we launched our inaugural UrbanPhotoFest Open, organised by urban photographer and UPA Director of Education Gill Golding. Building on last year's Conference, the first Open focused on the theme of (re:)Thinking the Streets; and the response was fantastic. The competition submissions were consistently of a very high quality, and in the competition section of our website, international artist Rut Blees Luxemburg gives some insightful feedback, about the twenty images selected from a field of over five hundred. We will be announcing this year's competition winners during UrbanPhotoFest, and also confirm the forthcoming year's competition theme; so look out for this if you are planning to enter and have your work seen as part of an international photographic festival.

15. Before – Waist Overalls, After – Jeans
Jeans was originally called 'Waist Overalls' or simply 'Overalls'. Well, a pair of jeans sounds much better. Imagine calling it an overall. Not possible. It was renamed by Levi Strauss.
14. Indigo to Hide the Dirt
The very first jeans always bore the indigo color. Why? Well, because, they hide dirt and dust better than light colors. It's nonetheless, the most preferred color among jeans by most people.
13. Zip it on the Right
Earlier, during the time of World War II, jeans for men had the normal style of the zipper being in front, but for women, the zipper was placed on the right side. Thanks to the one who switched and stitched it back to the front.
12. Levi Strauss & Co. and their Orange Thread
Jeans made by Levi Strauss & Co. always bear the orange colored thread, which is unique to their brand. Check for it if you haven't noticed it already. It's their trademark
11. Indigo for the Blue Color
A whooping 20 thousand tons of indigo are produced every year, simply for coloring jeans worldwide. Next come the rest of the colors.
10. 225 Pairs from a Single Bale of Cotton
A maximum of 225 pair of jeans can be made out of just a single bale of cotton. Beat that!
9. A form of Rebellion – Jeans
Jeans, especially the blue ones were banned in theatres, schools and restaurants in the 50s. This was because they were seen as a form of rebellion against conventionality. They were a rage back then, but now, it's obvious that a person will own at least two to three pairs.
8. Asia Produces Half the Jeans Worn by the World
Statistically speaking, more that 50% of the total production of jeans is done in Asia – namely, India, China and Bangladesh. And you thought they were Western?
7. Wash to prevent Shrinkage
Most denims are washed in water after the dye to prevent it from shrinking in size. It's after that, that they are ready to be sold.
6. The Skinny Deal
Your skinny jeans are not pure cotton. They are mixed with a bit of an elastic fabric known as 'Elastene'. This is why skinny jeans are stretchable and stick to the skin.
5. The French Connection
Here's the French Connection – The word 'Jeans' is actually derived from the French term bleu de Genes. Also, the word 'denim' comes from the name of the French city, Nimes. Denims originated here, which is why the name is denim (de Nimes). Read: 'of Nimes'.
4. The World War II and Jeans
The Americans can be credited for spreading jeans throughout the world, courtesy the World War II soldiers who wore it extensively when they were not at war. In fact, the Second World War can actually be said to propagate jeans the most in the Western world. It's that time, from when it started becoming a rage.
3. Jeans and the Cotton Factories
The material denim that is used in the making of jeans requires a large quantity of cotton. Therefore, most of the jeans factories are build around cotton plantations and factories.
2. The Oldest Pair of Jeans
The oldest pair of jeans ever to be made was a Levi Strauss & Co. 501 Jeans, which is supposed to be about one hundred and fifteen years old. It was discovered in the year 1997 and auctioned in the year 2005 to an anonymous Japanese collector for $60,000.
1. The Most Expensive Pair Now
The most expensive pair of jeans in the world right now? It's the Dussault Apparel's Trashed Denim jeans which can be bought at $250,000.

French chef Yoan Chevet describes the cuisine at Sinabro as 'Bistronomique', falling somewhere between Bistro and Gastronomique, the root of which is French fine dining. However, he isn't afraid to mix it up with fresh, seasonal or unique ingredients from many different origins.
He has worked in the kitchens of some of the most reputable kitchens in France and England. Starting his career at the tender age of 15, he has spent 20 years in the triple Michelin starred, Taillevent in Paris, Le Meurice, Le Celadon and La Table de Joël Robuchon.
Having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, including Olivier Limousin and Frédéric Simonin at L'Atelier De Joël Robuchon, Hélène Darroze at The Connaught and Andre Garrett, Galvin at Windows, he worked his way up from Sous Chef to Head Chef.
Chevet and his wife, Sujin decided to break out of traditional French fine dining and set up a restaurant which celebrated all that they loved about cuisine. The foodie pair who have travelled extensively to broaden their culinary horizons, have brought their learnings and passions to Sinabro's table to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Sinabro, a word from Sujin's native Korean means 'to advance' or 'to progress', step by step. Having waited four years for the perfect premises and having spent several decades between them acquiring the necessary skills, the couple decided the name describes their culinary journey perfectly.
Describe your culinary philosophy in 5 words...
Sophisticated handling of fresh ingredients.
What is your greatest inspiration?
Experience, nature, travels and converstions with my wife.
If you could take a plane ride to any restaurant in the world, just for one meal, where would you go?

Welcome to the first ever battle round of the Kirby of the Stars Tournament! Four battles will be held here, and better yet, YOU decide the winners! You may comment saying who you voted for, but you don't have to. So, without further ado, let's begin the battles!
Battle 1
Mr. Tick Tock vs. Kracko Jr.
The first ever battle in the Kirby of the Stars Tournament is a battle between two weak foes of Kirby, yet not too weak. Kirby defeated them pretty easily, let's see how they do against each other. Mr. Tick Tock is an alarm clock who can shoot rogue music notes. Kracko Jr. is the incomplete form of Kracko that can spawn bombs. Will Mr. Tick Tock condense Kracko Jr., or will Kracko Jr. leave Mr. Tick Tock in the "Sleep" position forever?
RESULTS: Mr. Tick Tock: 2, Kracko Jr.: 3
The moral of this battle is to know your hierarchy and never bite off more than you can chew. Mr. Tick Tock made a very stupid move, fighting Kracko Jr., because although Kracko Jr. is a weak boss, he's still a boss. Mr. Tick Tock is a mini-boss, so his hierarchy was below Kracko Jr.. Kracko Jr. uses his stronger powers and puts them to good use, knocking the batteries out of Mr. Tick Tock. Kracko Jr. moves on to Round 2 as Mr. Tick Tock is never to be functional again.
Battle 2
Escargoon vs. Zeke
The second battle features King Dedede's loyal yet less celebrated servant against one of Kirby's less celebrated friends. Neither of these two have any real fighting experience, but it's time they learn, if they don't, it could cost them the match. Will Escargoon finally succeed, or will Zeke win using beginner's luck?
RESULTS: Escargoon: 3, Zeke: 1
Battle 2 saw a match between two weak fighters. However, Escargoon has skill, and Zeke merely has luck. Since skill is better than luck, and a battle comes from backbone, not wishbone, Escargoon just delivered a single punch to knock out Zeke instantly. King DeDeDe would have been proud to see this match, although sad thing is, he will never truly impress the king. Nevertheless, Escargoon leaves Zeke in the dust and advances to Round 2.
Battle 3
Chef Kawasaki vs. Sparky
Third in this round of battles is between the chef of Cappy Town that no one likes the food of (Save for sushi and freeze-dried space food) against a green drop-thing that generates electricity from two orbs on its head. Chef Kawasaki has helped Kirby on many occasions (But only in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!) and Sparky has helped Kirby only a select few times. Will Chef Kawasaki serve Sparky on the menu, or will Sparky deep-fry Kawasaki with his bolts?
RESULTS: Chef Kawasaki: 4, Sparky: 1
This was another "know your hierarchy" match. Sparky, although nostalgic, was not enough to take down someone powerful like Chef Kawasaki. That night, the Chef cooked Sparky after delivering a blow with a frying pan, and the customers at his restaurant were confused when the meat looked a little green and shocked them when they ate it. Chef Kawasaki now serves Sparky on the menu and advances to Round 2.
Battle 4
Dragoon vs. Marx
Battle four could be one of the most one-sided matches in the entire tournament. In this corner, we have the Dragoon - a small but slightly powerful Air Ride Machine of Kirby's that tears through the sky. On the other corner, we have Marx: The omnipotent, flying, paint-splattering, beam-firing, spear-firing, projectile spamming final boss of Kirby Super Star (and Super Star Ultra) Obviously, we all think Marx is going to win, but Dragoon could have more in store for us than we think.
RESULTS: Dragoon: 1, Marx: 4
Not even being a match, but more of a knockout, all it took was one of Marx's blades to slice up the Dragoon. Definitely not a surprise, now there is no more of the legendary air ride machine and Marx's reign of terror continues as his eyes settle on Chef Kawasaki as his next victim.

Patrice Banks used to fear she was being taken advantage of when she visited the auto mechanic shop, she recently told NBC News.
Surveys confirm the stereotype we know: Women are less likely than men to know basic car care. Nearly 50 percent admit to calling a spouse for help with auto-related problems, while nearly 30 percent say roadside service is their go-to. Add to that the facts that most mechanics are men, and studies have shown that women are more likely to be overcharged, and you've got an environment that most women feel uncomfortable in.
Banks is changing all of that. She founded Girls Auto Clinic in Philadelphia to empower women to feel comfortable asking questions about their cars, and to provide an overall more pleasant auto-repair experience. Her shop's female mechanics, or "shecanics," take the time to go over each step with customers. Banks also hosts free monthly workshops where she shares simple, straightforward lessons and tips on car maintenance.
Perhaps the most brilliant part of Banks' business? Her auto clinic's waiting area doubles as a salon, so customers can get their hair and nails done while their car's getting a tune-up. Curious about the whole setup? Check out the full story, and a video here.

Purchase high quality, farm fresh produce at below retail prices!
Photo source: DNAInfo.com
Since 2013, Two Bridges has partnered with GrowNYC to operate the Fresh Food Box Program, providing Two Bridges' residents with fresh fruits and vegetables directly from the farm.
Here's How It Works:
- Each produce bag costs just $12 and contains 6-9 varieties of local produce.
- Residents sign-up each week and pay for pick-up on the following Thursday between 3:30pm to 6:30pm. RESIDENTS MUST SIGN UP AT LEAST ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE!
- We accept Cash, Debit, EBT and Health Bucks.
Every Thursday
3:30pm - 6:30PM
227 Madison Street*
(at Jefferson Street)
*please note our new location
For more information, contact the Two Bridges office:
GrowNYC's Fresh Food Box Program is a food access initiative that allows underserved communities to purchase fresh, healthy, locally-grown produce in pre-packed boxes containing the best of what's seasonally available on regional farms. Fresh Food Box customers can take advantage of the cost benefits of buying in a group, and enjoy the quality and variety of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share with the flexibility to buy by the week rather than by the season.
Two Bridges, on Manhattan's Lower East Side is an ethnically and economically diverse community. It is, however, among the lowest-income neighborhoods in Manhattan, and has one of the highest rates of reliance on food subsidy benefits.
Since the Cherry Street Pathmark's closure was announced in October 2012, Two Bridges Neighborhood Council has worked with community residents, CBOs, businesses, and elected officials to identify alternative measures to provide fresh and affordable food to local families.
Two Bridges' partnership and participation in the Fresh Food Box Program is part of a larger commitment and effort to protecting and enhancing access to fresh and affordable food in the Two Bridges neighborhood.
Support for this work was provided by the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) and the Fund for Public Health in New York City.

Enough is Enough…Your Social Icons Mean Nothing
Ok, we've all seen this when walking into a restaurant or store:
(Sorry to pick on you @Moes_HQ)
Or this when looking at magazines, brochures, or other print material:
They are everywhere. But WHY????
Too many people join social media simply because they feel like they have to (usually because their competitor is doing it or they read an article on it). They see the potential big wins of driving people to their store or site, or maybe they go farther and see the ability to quickly and easily engage with their customers. I whole-heartedly, 100% agree with the fact that social media can have a major impact on your business, when done right. I preach the social media gospel, and help individuals and companies see the light for a living…But I ask you, what does this accomplish?
Enough is Enough…END THE MADNESS!!!
The point of social media is to engage with people. It is to start a conversation. Companies that got in early and utilized social media as a marketing channel had major wins, but now anyone and everyone has an account. So slapping social media icons on your website, in your email signatures, in your print materials, and in your store is not enough. All it does is tell people that facebook exists…twitter exists…maybe it tells them that you know they exist. But in the end that's all it accomplishes.
Simply having icons on your website is a start. The icon will have a meaning to people involved on those networks, and it allows them to link to you and your profile, and if your lucky, engage with you. But because these icons live in the electronic world, they provide that link. A print piece or an in-store piece doesn't have that capability. It is flat and static. Those icons mean nothing, and accomplish nothing!
How we got here
A couple years ago, a facebook icon on your print material maybe said a little more. Social media had not completely engulfed the masses, and certainly wasn't the norm, so that icon made you stand out. A social media junkie (aka..early adopter) probably whipped out their iPhone or BlackBerry and searched out your profile on facebook. But that says more about the demographic of social media adopters at that time than it does about that icon's effectiveness in your marketing piece.
Today the average social media user has changed. It is much closer to the average consumer demographic than ever before. More of your customers are using social media, but they are less technical users of the platforms and not as devoted as they were 'back when.' Asking them to search you out on that social network to connect with you is asking a lot. Many of them probably have no idea even how to perform that search.
The Solution…Add Value
Tell people more. Tell them your username. Tell them why they should connect with you. You wouldn't just create a postcard that only had a picture of a 'Sale' tag and send it to your customers. You would tell them what the sale is, when it is, where it is, and why they should come. Promotion of your social media should be done the same way. This is what we are moving to at ASPE:
It tells people:
- Why they should connect with us
- Where they can connect with us
- What our usernames are
- How they can connect with us
It gives people the option to instantly mention or message us on twitter, tells them what our company profile is on LinkedIn if they want to connect, let's them know exactly what our channel is on YouTube, gives them a webpage where they can find out more about our use of social media, what to expect if they choose to connect with us, and links them directly to us from that page, and it even gives them a QR code they can use (if they know what it is) that takes them directly to that page,so they don't have to type or search.
Yes, it takes up more real-estate, but it is a much stronger utilization of the space. If you want to take it a step further, try asking a question in your text to start the conversation. Tell them to tweet a picture of your 'social connect graphic' (whatever campaign it's for…the above example is just a branding campaign) for a chance to win a prize. Engage them!
In the end you should see better results in driving people to connect with you, and should see a network that is more engaged with you. So stop plastering social media icons on your print materials, and start adding value.
If you want to get even more advanced, try testing the graphic against your lame (kidding) use of just icons. Use tracking on your website to tag traffic from your 'social connect graphic.' You can attach a parameter in the QR code link or use a special URL that is only listed in that graphic. Compare the amount of traffic with that tag or to that specific page with the traffic from pieces that only have the icons and see which performs better.
Agree? Disagree? Have your own examples of Good/Poor use of social media icons?

8 Comments on Enough is Enough…Your Social Icons Mean Nothing
My grandfather was an econ professional. He hated clothing that had manufacturers' brands extremely visible. He felt the manufacturer should pay consumers for advertising for them. But in the end manufacturers had the ability to manipulate people into advertising for them.
You were manipulated into feeling cool to have the "swoosh" on your hat or shirt. This manipulation has led to millions and millions of dollars worth of free marketing.
This post shows the same happening in the internet marketing world with the social media icons. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and the like are getting millions of dollars of free marketing because companies must follow the Jones.
GREAT POST!!!Reply
Agreed and thank you for saying it.Reply
I'd have to disagree on a small level. I think there's value in displaying the icon at least. It's training folks to know that you exist in those online places. The brands are usually pretty strong, like Moe's, that people can easily look them up.
Now i'm mainly thinking abut those icons you see on TV shows – and haven't thought too terribly much about them on print items. But maybe the same thought holds true there too?Reply
This goes back to good old fashion communication. Putting just the social network icon does more brand awareness for Facebook, Twitter, etc. than your brand. I remember first seeing websites on TV commercials. Because of the uniqueness of URLs this was not a problem. Now that we are carving out our brand's space on a shared network there needs to be strong communication as to why spend time with us on any social network. Good example of how to do it right and communicate!Reply

The automotive brand set a new Guinness World Record for the largest-ever Lego structure. The 13-metre high replica of Tower Bridge was made with just under six million Lego bricks and took five months to complete. It broke the previous Guinness World Record by 470,646 pieces. Laid end to end, the bricks would stretch for almost 200 miles, or from Tower Bridge in London to Paris.
Agency Imagination delivered the event. The scale model of Tower Bridge supported two Land Rover Discoveries driving across and, once the fully articulated bascules were lifted, a Land Rover Discovery drove underneath puling a Lego replica of the Land Rover BAR team racing boat. The 12-car reveal included seven heritage vehicles and five new Discoveries.
Long-term Land Rover Discovery owners Bear Grylls, Sir Ben Ainslie and Zara Phillips attended the dynamic live reveal of the model, which took place at Packington Hall in Warwickshire, close to Land Rover's Solihull factory.
Ross Wheeler, head of automotive at Imagination, said: "We needed to create a spectacular and exciting event to launch the new Land Rover Discovery to the world," he said. "On the eve of the Paris Motor Show, Land Rover wanted to return to its heartland in Warwickshire to stage the biggest, most adventurous reveal event yet. We wanted to help them achieve the seemingly impossible and make an impact that would resonate around the world."
Lego's Bricks in the Sky returned to the ArcelorMittal Orbit this year.

Unfortunately we currently do not have a function specific to counting text box characters. What we have is using the Max size option to limit them.
The screenshot above also shows an available widget, we have a character count widget that you can use but will show as a text area, here's the widget: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/character_counter.
If you would like to count characters on specific text boxes or fields, what we can do is add a custom javascript in the form's full source code.
You can use this javascript code that my colleague abajan shared: http://pastie.org/pastes/5369481/text
You'll need to edit and add that javascript and edit the necessary field name where you want to point the action to. The form's full source code will then be embedded to your website.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thanks for the Reply, looking Character Count Widget, can I use that to obtain the Number of Charactors?
Character Count = 500
Character Count - 500 = number of Charactors?
JotForm Support
Hello KenR60,
Unfortunately "Character Counter" widget cannot be used to display the number of character of input texts.
Hope this answers your query.

Thank you!

CHILD INTERSTATE ABORTION NOTIFICATION ACT -- (House of Representatives - April 27, 2005)
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to co-sponsor H.R. 748, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act.
This bill makes it a Federal offense to knowingly transport a minor across State lines with the intent to circumvent parental notification laws so that the minor can obtain an abortion.
It is imperative that we stop the victimization of young girls who are transported across State lines to undergo abortions without their parents' knowledge. Not only does this practice endanger the lives of our daughters, imagine how parents would feel if their daughter was transported across State lines without their knowledge and pressured to have an unwanted abortion.
Across the country, officials must obtain parental consent before performing routine medical services such as providing aspirin, and before including children in field trips and contact sports. Some States require written parental consent before a minor can get a tattoo or a body piercing. Despite all this, in some States people other than parents can secretly take minor girls across State lines for abortions.
Mr. Chairman, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act protects the rights of parents to be involved in the medical decisions of their minor daughters and protects the health and safety of young girls by preventing valid constitutional State parental involvement laws from being circumvented. I am pleased to support this bill, which protects our daughters and supports our families.

Puerto Rico? Becoming a state?
- The background of statehood for Puerto Rico is that they have a poor economy, and until 2012 they did not want to become a state. They realized that for the people of Puerto Rico they needed the United States help.
- The Puerto Rican experience is different because they already have a different culture than us, so if they became a state they would lose all of it.
-Pros of Statehood
- Bring 7 House members, 2 Senators, and 9 Electoral votes
- $2 million to US Treasury
- Integration to economy will give more job and income benefits
- More independence with personal affairs
- Gain some say in developing regulations, and voting process
- Be an open market to sell with many countries around the world, which are in coalition with the US
-Cons of Statehood
- Lose culture and the Spanish language
- Not an individual in Olympic Games, Miss America, etc.
- Changed schooling system
- No longer tax exempt
- New American flag to be made
-There are numerous groups, and individuals who agree that Puerto Rico should become a state. Some believe that politicians are voting yes for the simple reason of being able to get more votes in elections.
-We recently polled 50 different people asking them if Puerto Rico should become a state. Out of the 50 people we polled 26 of them were female and 24 were male. 62.5% of males said yes to statehood, while 37.5% of males said no to statehood. 30.7% of females said yes to becoming a state, while 69.3% of females said no to statehood.
* If more people would have been polled, the percentages would be more accurate.

Heya, it's me again. Seems like I got a lot of "hate" on here last time I asked you guys a question, but bear with me. I'm still into that nerdy boy (for those of you who have been folloing my last questions). And two times last week he almost stumbeled into me. He seems frighten each time, but last time he smiled while turning around again. The most adorable smile I've ever seen, he looked so happy. He rarely smiles. I think I wasn't supposed to see that smile, but I did. And it gave me the feeling that he likes me. My friends have caught him saring at me, but ONLY when I look in the other direction. Andy super-nerdy boys that know what this means?
Most Helpful Guy
I was like that in high school.
He;s NOT used to a girl liking him or the way you do things. So he has NO idea on how to act or what is right or wrong. So he's like a lost sailor at sea...
In this case YOU need to be the one to break the ice and make him feel comfortable. Sit next to him, ask to hang out at lunch or afterward at the end of the day.
The sad part is YOU will kinda have to do some of the work at first. But if you like him GO for it. I can tell you now he WON'T go for it just because he is SHY and NERVOUS00|00|0

Not long ago, the 22-year-old Jess Semmens from in Exeter, Devon, used to have a serious weight problem. But she is now slim and toned, and she doesn't have Weight Watchers or any conventional method to thank for this extraordinary transformation.
Whatever Semmens is about to eat, she first shares its pictures on Instagram and waits for her followers' opinion or even approval. Once their feedback is known, only then she eats her food. It may sound bizarre, but it must work, as Semmens has slimmed down from 308 lbs to 182 lbs.
"Like most women, I had tried every diet under the sun but none worked for me," she said. "I thought I was doomed to be overweight for ever but when I started counting calories on a phone app and sharing pictures of my meals I was amazed at how many comments I received.
"I started documenting the change in my figure as I lost weight and it was a great way to see my progress and keep me on track whenever I felt like reaching for the biscuit tin. If I didn't stick to the diet I wasn't just letting myself down, I'd be letting down all my followers too.
"The pressure kept me motivated, as did all the lovely comments I got - and now I feel amazing. You could say that I have Instagrammed myself thin."
At one point when she couldn't control her eating habits, Semmens was told by her doctor that she'd be dead by 25. But thanks to Instagram and her followers' support, she is not only alive but is living a completely healthy life.
Check out Semmens' incredible transformation below:

No value of Indian Christians in front of the Pope and the Christian World — In realtion with the abduction of the Christians people by the ISIS in Yemen, Father Tom Ujhunel has released a very emotional video requesting the Indian government and Pope Fracis of Vetican.
In this video Father is seemingly very scared and has even said that he is being neglected because he is a Christian of an Indian origin, while had he been of the European roots the whole Christian World world have ran to save him.
Father Tom.has appealed to The Pope that he be saved like his own child since his health is not well. Father Tom.was kidnapped in Yemen by ISIS people although this video is real this has still to be confirmed.
The video has been released by a website named Pravachak shabdam. Although the government of India seems more determined to save him once this video was released. Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj has swiftly tweeted –
I have seen the video from Fr Tom. He is an Indian citizen and the life of every Indian is most precious for us. /1 — Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) December 27, 2016

Help! Colored Buttercream And Edible Image
Decorating By nesweetcake Updated 7 May 2009 , 11:24pm by sugarshack
I have a cake in neon green buttercream and I need to put a saying on the cake, I was planning on using an edible image. Will the green eventually come thru the image so it looks like black writing on the green cake. That is what I am trying to achieve. Any suggestions? Help. Thanks in advance!
I am pretty sure that the answer to your question is "no" and I don't have any other suggestions. I wonder if wafer/rice paper would disintegrate. Anyone know?
I did this once with a edible image of a photo on a pink cake & it made the photo look funny. It was a weird color. Now I only put the images on white. If you try it, let me know if it works for you!
yes it will. put a super thin piece of fondant under your image and that should do it!
I thought she wanted the frosting sheet to disappear into the cake leaving the black writing on the green cake. I have never had one dissolve. I always had some of the white from the frosting sheet left between the image and the cake. If she puts the fondant under it, then it won't dissolve at all will it?
correct; but like you said; it wont dissolve even if put right on BC. I misunderstood. i did not realize she was trying to do that. lol
Do you know of a medium that will completely dissolve? Rice/Wafer or Potato Paper?
actually i do not, sorry.
maybe someone else does!

Report summaryEl Borma is the largest field discovered in Tunisia. It is located in the Sahara Desert in southern Tunisia and straddles the Tunisian-Algerian border. The field was discovered in 1964 and began producing in 1966. However, the field is now in long-term decline. A 25 year licence extention was granted to 2043. The operation had planned to increase production and extend the field's life through near-field exploration and EOR techniques. We assume that these plans will be postponed due to the low oil price.

text: London (ANI): Former model Katie Price, a.k.a. Jordan, is reportedly set to go under the knife for the sixth time to enlarge her boobs to a size 32DD. Jordan, 31, who has already had three operations to inflate her bosom to 32G, and two to reduce after ex-husband Peter Andre did not like them, feels that she is getting her own back with the upcoming surgery.She is said to have told pals: "This will show Pete, at last I get to be the real me. This is the ultimate revenge for Kate – she knows that it will wind Peter up more than anything, the Daily Star quoted a source as saying."When they first got together he was always going on about how big her boobs were. At the time she was willing to do anything to please him. Now she sees no better reason to pump them back up, the source added.

Now Viewing:
Product Highlights
Tele Vue offers the Bandmate Mars Type A and Type B filters, which are 2 contrast-enhancing filters specifically designed for viewing Mars but also quite useful for Jupiter. Tele Vue offers a pair of filters because standard colored filters used to bring out detail on Mars' surface have the drawback of an artificial color imposed upon all of Mars' planetary features. The Bandmate Mars Type A and Type B will not do this.
The Bandmate Mars Type A is a dual band filter with differing dielectric coatings on each side of the substrate, and as a dual-band filter it permits green and red to pass through while rejecting all other visible color. The Type A enhances detail on the Martian surface, without disturbing the natural color of the polar caps or other parts of the surface. The Type A provides an extremely natural view, and is highly recommended for 'public' viewing.
Because Mars is so very small, you should choose a very short (<5mm) focal length eyepiece to observe it and reserve extended study of the Martian landscape for the moonless nights of best seeing conditions.
All Tele Vue filters are individually inspected for cosmetic and optical properties, as well as being serialized.

The Edaiken N'Uselu, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, yesterday, described Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State as the Messiah that God gave the people of the state, saying that those angry that the governor enjoys close relationship with the Benin royal family should have a rethink.
The Ediaken, who said that the Benin traditional institution "shall not fall, cannot fall, we can only go further," told the governor when he paid him a thank you visit at Government House, Benin City, yesterday April 14, 2016 that his close affinity and respect for Benin traditional institution led to the unity and progress being witnessed in the state and prayed that the ancestors will continue to protect him as he looks towards his exit from office.
The Crown Prince also expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for receiving him recently when he went to inform the president of his movement to Uselu as Ediaken, just as he thanked Oshiomhole for facilitating the visit which he described as very successful.

READY IN: 1hr
Recipe by Erin K. Brown
This is a family recipe that I got by watching my Oma and Opa cook. Amounts are estimates since they use terms like "about like so", "enough", and "til it's good" to describe how much to use...like every experienced cook. <3
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 head cabbage
- 2 small onions
- 1 bunch green onion
- 5 -6 garlic cloves
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 -4 tablespoons bacon grease
- 2 -4 chicken bouillon cubes
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 12 ounces egg noodles, long and thin
Directions See How It's Made
- Get a large pot of water heating to boil the noodles.
- Cut cabbage into bite-sized pieces, chop green onions, mince garlic and thinly slice onion.
- Melt bacon grease in a wok or large skillet, brown garlic while stirring constantly.
- Add onion and continue to stir until really brown and most of the juices are absorbed.

- Cook until cabbage is limp, just a few minutes.
- Sprinkle on the bouillon, salt and pepper.
- Cook noodles (5-7 minutes) and combine with veggie/chicken mixture.
- Can be served as is, or over rice. I like to include a dash of Maggi Seasoning sauce or Soy sauce too.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Aug 16,2014 9:06 AM
Lenovo has announced the restructuring of its national distribution system (Tier 1 distributors) across India. The new structure will align each of the T1 distributors with Lenovo's four distinct verticals – Lenovo Exclusive Stores (LES), Multi-brand stores, Regional Distributors and Large Format Retail.
Lenovo implemented a 1:1 aligned model of billing between RDs and T1 partners a few years back. This new structure will take this aligned model to its next level for more focus on each vertical.
Shailendra Katyal, Director, Home and Small Business (HSB), Lenovo India elaborated, "The new T1 structure is a significant step towards developing a best-in-class partner system for Lenovo in India. We are confident that this new distribution structure will further strengthen our engagement with our T2 business partners. Each of these verticals has distinct product and sales patterns and aligning our national distributors to service verticals in a focussed way will ensure better end-to-end serviceability for our channel partners."
The new structure has been designed to create an ecosystem, where Lenovo and the T1 partners will address the distinctive needs of the different verticals in a focused manner. This transition will give a dedicated channel base to the T1 partners where they can invest and value-add for growth on these accounts. It allows T1s to move beyond credit and fulfilment to having a more growth oriented approach by having better end-to-end inventory alignment and product evangelism with T2 partners.
Along with this restructuring, Lenovo also announced some other recent initiatives:
• Creation of a new class of RDs, which would be fulfilled directly by Lenovo
• A strategic partnership with HCL Infosystems to further strengthen its consumer retail business by leveraging over 100 HCL exclusive store-fronts
• Appointment of Rx Infotech as additional T1 for select markets for distribution of S&P products
Katyal further said, "We are bullish about the near to medium term growth prospects in the consumer business and are taking these structural measures to enhance our reach and servicing of channel in India."

Yale Cordage is best known for their popular tree climbing lines and have a growing presence in tree rigging ropes like the popular Double Esterlon and Polydyne double braids. These ropes not only feature high strengths, but Polydyne also has increased energy absorption and elasticity. New in 2011, we have brought on XTC 16-Strand spearmint in 5/8", 5/8" and 3/4" diameters for a durable rigging line that will work equally well in false crotch or natural crotch rigging.
Double Esterlon is comparable to Stable Braid in strength and and works well in both natural crotch and false crotch rigging. Durable, low stretch, and high-strength.
Yale Polydyne rope is a high-strength double-braid rope with exceptional energy absorption due to it's nylon core. Polyester outer layer provides abrasion resistance. Great for rigging work when the load will fall a short distance before being caught.
