Jej 24, `1 969 V. BROWN v COMPOSTING METHOD FOR AEROBIODTGESTION OF ORGANlC WASTE MATERIAL Filed June 2, 196'? INVENTOR.
VICTOR BROWN United States Patent O 3,451,799 COMPOSTING METHOD FOR AEROBIC DIGES- TION OF ORGANIC WASTE MATERIAL Victor Brown, Elmhurst, Ill., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Metropolitan Waste Conversion Corporation, Wheaton, Ill., a corporation of Delaware `Continuation-impart of application Ser. No. 497,035, Oct. 18, 1965. This application June 2, 1967, Ser. No. 643,084 The portion of the term of the patent subsequent to June 6, 1984, has been disclaimed and dedicated to the public Int. Cl. Cf 1]/00 U.S. Cl. 71--9 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A composting method which produces complete aerobic digestion of waste organic material, such as garbage, performed in an apparatus of batch-type which is capable of operation through the entire range of mesophilic and thermophilic digestion as well as cooling-out and partial drying.
The present application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Ser. No. 497,035, led Oct. 18, 1965, now Patent No. 3,323,896.
One object of the present invention is to provide a method for composting waste organic material and obtaining therefrom an organic fertilizer of guaranteed uniform analysis which comprises rst distributing a mass of heterogeneous ground waste material in layers in a tank, lifting the material from the ends of the layers to a point above the surface of the mass and dropping it back into the tank to convert the heterogeneous layered mass to a homogeneous non-layered mass while exposing it to air, chemically analyzing the batch and adding chemicals as required, either in solution by spraying or fogging, or by broadcasting if dry chemicals are used, to produce a fertilizer product of desirable and uniform analysis.
Still another object is to add chemicals as required to secure a desired chemical content after analyzing the batch and using the apparatus to accomplish even distribution of the chemicals throughout the batch.
A further object is to provide a method which utilizes the movement of an agitator back and forth along a tank containing a heterogeneous layered mass of waste material, to convert the mass to fertilizer of guaranteed analysis, the apparatus rst utilizing a feeder for filling the tank and which produces uniform layers of differing composition throughout the tank, then tumbling and mixing iby moving the agitator a number of passes throughout the length of the tank, then distributing additional chemical to the mass and again utilizing the agitator to tumble the mass and chemicals to evenly distribute the one relative to the other.
With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the steps of my herein disclosed composting method, whereby the objects above contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in detail on the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. l is a diagrammatic plan view of a composting apparatus suitable for practicing my composting method;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic side elevation thereof;
FIG. 3 is a vertical detailed sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a continuation of the right-hand end of FIG. 3; and
3,451,799 Patented June 24, 1969 FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic lateral cross section through the apparatus.
On the accompanying drawing I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate the bottom of an elongated tank, 12 the sides thereof and 14 the ends thereof. The tank 10, 12, 14 may be formed of sheet metal, concrete or other suitable material in a size such as 12 wide and 250 long. The size, of course, may be varied to suit the requirements of my method. Specific details of the tank are shown in my Patent No. 3,294,491.
Along the sides 12 of the tank I provide a pair of rails 20. An agitator A and a conveyor C are adapted to travel along the rails 20. The agitator A comprises a suitable frame 22 which is supported by wheels 24 on the rails 20. In FIG. 3 a sprocket 26 is shown which may be driven from a motor 27 for propelling the agitator A along the rails 20.
A shaft 28 is journalled in the frame 22 and is provided with a sprocket 30 driven by a motor 32. A conveyor carrying frame 34 is pivoted on the shaft Z8 for tilting clockwise as in FIG. 2, or counterclockwise as in FIG. 3, and carries pairs of elevator sprockets 36 and 38 at its ends. A third pair of elevator sprockets 40 is secured to the shaft 28 and a pair of endless elevator chains 42 extend around the pairs of sprockets 36, 38 and 40, and carry elevator buckets 43 which have ends that terminate relatively close to the walls 12 so that the buckets substantially span the tank laterally for elevating the organic material 44 therein as will hereinafter appear. Such material has been previously reduced to small particle size as by a grinder or hammer mill 74 shown in FIG. 4 and water mixed with it to the proportion of 60% or so to form a slurry-like mass.
The entire agitator A as well as its buckets 43 are symmetrical for operation in either direction. The elevator chains 42 and their buckets 43 operate at an angle inclined from the vertical in a gap of the material 44 as illustrated in FIG. 3.
Both motors 27 and 32 are provided with suitable step-down gearing as the speed of rotation for the sprockets 26 and 30 is necessarily much slower than the rotation of the motor shaft. The step-down gearing also preferably includes a suitable means for changing the speed of rotation of the output shaft to meet varying requirements.
The agitator A is adapted to travel toward the left as shown in FIG. 3 at which time the elevator sprockets 40 travel clockwise thus elevating the buckets 43 on the left or front side and lowering them on the right or back side. As the buckets speed up slightly in traveling over the top of the sprockets 38 they throw their contents back into the tank behind the agitator A as illustrated. Reversely, when the agitator travels toward the right, as in FIG. 2, the sprockets 40 will rotate counterclockwise and pick up material on the right side which is now the front side and discharge it from the left side behind the agitator.
The agitator A is operated to traverse the tank in one direction, and when it arrives at one end of the tank, it and the rotation of the sprocket 30 are reversed so as to travel in the opposite direction. It is again reversed at the end of such travel, thereby traveling back and forth throughout the length of the tank in a continuous manner. The organic material 44 is thus progressively agitated and elevated for evenly distributing the bacteria and periodically aerating each portion of the material during the digesting process.
In this connection it may be mentioned that there are two phases of digestion, a rst phase of mesophilic digestion in the range of about degrees F. for a twentyfour-hour period, then thermophilic digestion at about degrees F. for a further twenty-four-hour period followed by a sterilization period of approximately 165 degrees F. for a forty-eight-hour period. After that, cooling out and partial drying may be accomplished in the apparatus disclosed or the hot material may be removed for cooling out and drying elsewhere if desired.
In a tank and agitator apparatus of the kind described, the digesting process is helped by the introduction of air at the bottom of the tank, the temperature of which may be controlled as desired. Also the addition of water particularly at the gap in the material produced by the agitator as shown in the parent application and in my Patent No. 3,294,491 hereinbefore mentioned is advantageous.
For the purpose of introducing air, a plurality of pots 46 as shown in FIG. 1 in the bottom 10 of the tank and a blower 48 for supplying air thereto are shown. The blower 48 is driven by a motor S0 and has an airline 52 extending to manifolds 54 from which branch pipes 56 extend to a nozzle S8 in each pot 46. The nozzles may be merely pipe caps, each drilled with a small opening one-eighth inch or so in diameter and the pots may be filled with gravel to diffuse the air discharged from the nozzles as shown in detail in the just mentioned patent.
After the digesting period, and the cooling out and drying period if practiced in the tank, the digested material 44 may be removed therefrom by positioning the conveyor C as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2 and attaching it to the frame 22 for travel therewith so that as the agitator traverses the tank from left to right the conveyor C will receive he material and discharge it on a conveyor B shown in FIG. l adjacent the near side 12 of the tank. The conveyor B may discharge into a hopper 64 of a take-away conveyor `66 which may be of the screw type, the screw being shown at 68.
In the operation of an apparatus of the kind disclosed, the various phases of aerobic digestion, etc., may be automatically programmed or manually controlled as desired. In either event it is desirable to have limit switches such as LS1 and LSZ in FIG. 2 to automatically reverse the travel of the agitator A and the bucket elevator carried thereby for back-and-forth operation of the agitator in a continuous manner.
During the mesophilic phase of digestion, the temperature of the air `discharged from the pots 46 may be regulated (thermostatically if desired) to maintain the 110 degree F. temperature within the mass of organic material 44. Likewise the thermophilic and sterilizing phases may be regulated as to the respective temperatures of 140 degrees F. and 165 degrees F. Then if a cooling out and partial drying period is desired, the temperature of the air can be reduced as 4desired and thus the single tank and apparatus disclosed serve to completely process the organic material from undigested material with a proportion of bacteria mixed with it for initiating the digesting operation to completely digest it, and then sterilize the material to make it suitable as a soil conditioner after it has been further dried.
The foregoing described apparatus etliciently agitates a batch of organic material throughout the various phases of digestion, sterilization and cooling out. The agitator is so designed that in cooperation with the conveyor C the material may be removed from the tank after the processing has been completed. The next batch of material may be brought in from the grinder 74 on the conveyor belt B from which it may be removed by a suitable tripper conveyor TC having an elevating section 70 for a portion of the conveyor belt B and a conveyor section 72 to receive the material from the conveyor belt and deposit it at substantially the center from side to side of the tank 10, 12, 14. The tripper conveyor is wheelmounted for travel along the belt B so it also can travel back and forth throughout the length of the tank. As it slowly travels in one direction (as toward the right in FIG. 3) it deposits successive batches of the organic material 44 in progressive multiple layers as shown at 44a,
,4 in FIGS. 3 and 5 spaced along the length of the tank and inclined at substantially the angle of repose of the material. Defining such angle, various batches of materials such as grass, paper, restraurant garbage, etc. will, as they fall from the discharge end of the tripper conveyor TC tumble along the inclined wall at the left end of the tank 10, 12, 14 (FIG. 3), and form roughly a layer up to the first (left hand) line 44a; then a second layer up to the second line 44a and so on. When the tumbling action for one batch of material ceases, the top surface of that batch is at its angle of repose, and the several lines 44a in FIG. 3 indicate such angles. These angles of repose are acute with respect to the bottom of the tan-k. After deposit, the agitator A can be energized for operation on the new batches of material by elevating the material up and over the top of the agitator and dropping it back into the tank as the agitator traverses the length of the tank. It will be noted that the angle of those portions of the elevator chains 42 which are picking up the material cut laterally across the layers 44a (at substantially right angles to them), the purpose of which will hereinafter appear.
Most of the foregoing described apparatus is claimed in my Patent No. 3,294,491 above mentioned and in another copending application Ser. No. 524,344, filed Feb. l, 1966. It may be used -for practicing my herein claimed method to produce such uniformity of the heterogeneous layered mass of organic material 44a that a fertilizer of guaranteed analysis can be taken from the tank. This is accomplished by:
(l) Sorting the heterogeneous garbage received at the composting plant so as to remove non-organic materials.
(2) Grinding the heterogeneous remaining organic materials (grinder 74 in FIG. 4) to reduce large particles to a suitable size (for example 2 particles) for aerobic digestion.
(3) Filling the tank in such manner as to give a uniform distribution of the successive batches of differing composition, e.g., grass, paper, restaurant garbage, etc., by reason of filling the tank by progressive travel of the tripper conveyor TC while the conveyor belt B is being operated to bring to the tripper the organic material after it has been ground, which operation may take as much as a day or two to accomplish in a tank of the size referred to.
(4) Tumbling and mixing accomplished by the backand-forth movements of the agitator A a number of times such as ve to ten times per tankful of batches during each of the aerobic stages and the cooling out and partial drying stage above referred to. Since the elevator action of the agitator A is one of cutting laterally across the layers 44a, it picks up material from many layers, each of somewhat different composition, and thus contributes to the final production of a uniform, non-layered mass.
(4A) Chemically analyzing the batch as by analyzing random samples at periodic stations along the tank. From such analyzation the analyst can determine the necessary quantities of chemical such as nitrogen, phosphate, potash, etc., that need to be added to the mass to bring it up to the desired chemical content suitable as a fertilizer for any desired type of ground.
(4B) Adding chemicals, broadcast by hand or otherwise if it is a powdered or granular type of chemical, or spraying it into the tank if it is liquid in order to bring the organic material up to the required analysis for uniform product throughout the batch. The additional powdered or granular chemical may be added by supplying it on the belt B to the tripper conveyor TC if desired, or if in liquid form can be sprayed or fogged from the water pipe `62 or supplied to the nozzles 58 by introducing it into the line 52 and through the manifolds 54 in an obvious manner. Deposit of the incoming mass of diverse materials in the tank as described and the maximum dispersion produced by using the apparatus as suggested give a uniform end product. At any time aerobic digestion `5 is complete, bacterial action can be stopped by complete aeration to cool and dry the mass. This maximizes the nitrogen content since the bacteria continue to work on the mass of material and give off nitrogen needed to produce high ifood value in the fertilizer.
(4C) Cooling out and partial drying of the contents of the tank.
(5) Removal of the tank contents by operation of the agitator A, conveyor C, belt B and auger 681. The resulting fertilizer is then dried for a final moisture content of something less than 25%.
Some changes may be practiced in the steps of my composting method Without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims any modification of such steps or use of mechanically equivalent steps which may reasonably be included within their scope.
I claim as my invention:
1. A method for coverting successive batches of organic refuse material of dilering composition to a compost of uniform icomposition which comprises grinding each batch in succesion, depositing the successive batches of ground material throughout the length of a tank in multiple layers inclinded at substantially the angle of repose of the material, which angle is acute with respect to the bottom of the tank, said layers being of differing composition depending upon the composition of refuse material in said batches, uniformly and progressively elevating lsaid material in a direction which is crosswise of said layers to a point above the top layer in said tank and dropping it back into said tank to intermix said layers into a uniform non-layered mass, while exposing all of said material to air.
*2. The method of claim 1 in which nitrogen phosphate or potash chemicals `are uniformly supplied to the intermixed layers and said elevating step is repeated during the conversion process to distribute uniformly said chemicals throughout the compost product.

On September 6th, 2016 they visited Vayots Dzor Region, toured the vineyards and wineries to share their experience and provide advice to the vine growers and winemakers.
During the interview to the Banks.am, Julienne Lavenun said: "Vayots Dzor region has wonderful conditions for winemaking. Here you can grow a variety of grape at once. Armenia has an issue to rise the wine quality and enter the European market. Therefore one must start from the grape quality. At the end of the visit, we will submit certain general perception about the current issues in viticulture and winemaking sectors. I think within this short period, we can get wine of high quality, because the conditions allow".
Touring the vineyards Emmanuel Ramond studied the clusters, vines, irrigation method and crop quality. He mentioned that Armenians have had the grape cultivating experience for many centuries however the advice will never do any harm to raise the crop quality.
"Your vine growers are quite skilled, however to acquire good wine every detail is important, from trimming to crop gathering and processing. Today we were at a few vineyards, talked to the vine growers, gave some advice which are applied in France and other dozen countries", says Emmanuel Ramond. According to Mrs. Meri Ghevondyan, the executive director of Vine and Wine Foundation of Armenia, the brief visit of the experts inspired the vine growers and wine producers, since the experience exchange is essential to get a quality product.
«Derenoncourt consultance" is one of the 10 best consulting companies in this sector. Our visitors have been to different countries in the world and exchanged their rich experience in winemaking. The final goal of the newly established foundation is to insure the competitive wine in the international market and start the joint brand of Armenian wine. We took the first step from the vineyards , highlighting the issues related to the care and wine production, providing solutions, visited 10 winemaking companies and wineries, listened carefully to the advices of the French experts, said Mrs. Meri Ghevondyan.
As noted before, the Vine and Wine Foundation of Armenia was established on June 23rd, 2016 by the Government's Decision. The structure's goal is to raise the image of Armenia's winemaking, to make the wine competitive in the international markets which will contribute to the wine export process.

Coach Bill Parcels Upsets Cowboys Owner???
When Dallas Cowboys coach, Bill Parcels it seems as if he may have upset a few players and perhaps even the owner Jerry Jones.
"We cannot let that potential escape," the owner said after the game. He is referring to the fact that coach Parcells took out the rookie Drew Henson when the game was tied at (7-7) and replaced him with 41 year old Vinny Testaverde. Testaverde did eventually lead the Cowboys to a victory, but what does it all mean? The Cowboys seem to be all but out of the NFC playoff race and this seems to be the best spot for Drew Henson to play since there won't be any major pressure on the young quarterback.
Parcells did admit that Henson does need a lot of work before he will be a good full time quarterback in the league, with the Cowboys record standing at (4-7), there seems no better time than now to let Drew Henson work to eventually be that good quarterback.

Website Analytics I: Browser Support
Which browser platform should we design for? To most web developers this question is a nightmare and dilemma at the same time, but yet again we face it almost on a daily basis. Just to show you how difficult an answer might be is the disparity between two projects I'm involved in, one for a federal government body that by definition only supports IE6 and another that is expected to be finished in 6 months and therefore was hoping to target IE8. Are these expectations realistic?
Let's have a look at some website analytics that were collected over the past year (July 2008 - July 2009), taken from Fanposter.org, a social media website with over 5000 registered users from almost 100 countries and collected through Google Analytics.
Note: While I'm aware that the audience of this website might not be representative for all age groups or countries/regions, it still provides valuable hints about browser usage and trends.
Lesson 1: Internet Explorer on the fall
Internet Explorer is historically bundled with Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. IE6 was released August 27, 2001 just months before WinXP; IE7 was released October 18, 2006 and included with Windows Vista and Win Server 2008; IE8 final was released March 19, 2009 and will be included with Windows 7.
The combined total market share for Internet Explorer over the past year was 76.5% but the trend shows a clear decline over the past months from 74.0% in May to 68.8% in June and 53.9% in July.
Will this trend continue to hold true?
A lot will depend on the upcoming release of Windows 7 in October 2009 with Microsoft's power in reaching the people to upgrade their browsers. But almost certainly Microsoft will loose its dominant position of 95% in 2002 and 2003 (IE5 & IE6) or over 75% in the past year to its numerous very capable competitors.
Lesson 2: IE8 on the rise
When comparing the 3 current versions of Internet Explorer out there (IE6, IE7 and IE8 with IE5 and lesser not appearing in the analytics anymore and therefore being disregarded) it seems to be evident that IE8 is on the rise. Though the really surprising observation is that this increase cannot be accounted to users abandoning IE6 but rather to users upgrading their version of IE7. How come? The answer seems to lie in fact that many companies and their IT departments as well as governmental bodies still continue to hold on to and enforce the use of IE6. Can Microsoft overcome these - mostly security-related - concerns through IE8?
Lesson 3: IE6 might not die as soon as we all may wish
As discussed above IE6 is still a requirement for many users. A quick look at Google Trends reveals that searches for IE6 (Figure 3: blue line) have been pretty stable over the past 4-5 years while searches for IE7 (Figure 3: red line) are declining and searches for IE8 (Figure 3: yellow line) are in the lead. This goes hand in hand with the observations in Lesson 2 above.
In the meantime let's join the numerous battles to kill IE6 like Norwegian Websites Declare War on IE 6 and IE Death March or more seriously at Bring down IE6. Joke or not, IE6 will be around for some more time and therefore needs to be considered if we want it or not.
It won't even help that Digg is discussing to drop support for IE6 or YouTube Will Be Next To Kiss IE6 Support Goodbye. Both sites don't need users that cannot upgrade IE6 e.g. due to limitations at work because exactly these users have limited access restricted by their companies anyway.
Lesson 4: Firefox stays on top
A very interesting observation is the fact that Firefox does a really great job in staying on top of things and keeping their user base up to date. In the last month of the observation period less than 5% of all Firefox users had a version lesser than 3, or in other words, the great majority of Firefox users was using version 3 and higher. And with versions 3.7 and Firefox 4 in the making, a huge base of motivated developers and fascinating plug-ins the future looks bright. Firefox's marketshare seems to climb steadily also, as of July 2009 it showed 32.1% (20.5% average over the past year) with the majority Windows versions and only 0.6% on Mac and 0.2% on Linux. Obviously we all love the high commitment to standards compliancy that makes developing web apps a blast, right?
Lesson 5: Chrome & Safari
Google Chrome was released December 11, 2008 and first received as Google's never-ending battle against Microsoft (see graphic by Federico Fieni) but more likely just another smart move to keep users on the web - the faster, the better - or like Ben Parr explains "Revenue = Amount of Time on the Web".
As far as marketshare is concerned, Chrome rose to 2.3% in July according to my analytics. This is still fairly small but not to be underestimated. In terms of testing Google's developer page for Chrome suggests that "if you've tested your website with Safari 3.1 then your site should already work well on Google Chrome". But what about Safari?
Safari accounts for 1.3% in the yearly average (with 1.2% on Mac and the rest on Windows). Should we test Safari with a marginal share like this? It really depends on your budget and company structure which might require unjustified additional resources for your QA team. Do the math for yourself: 1% of 10k visitors are 100 potential customers - is it worth the effort?
Lesson 6: Opera is the misunderstood genius
Opera shows an average of 1.1% with an unexpected peak in July 2009 - I need to continue observing where and why that came from. Needless to say, Opera is strong in European countries like Russia and on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones and PDA's (personal digital assistants). It's a shame that Opera is not further ahead, it has been and still is innovator and spearhead in terms of new useful features as well as standards compliancy and implementation.
What are your experiences?
Without giving any decisive conclusions I'd like to hear your experiences or analytics to this subject. For which browser platform do you design for? What do you tell your clients when they ask you this question?
The Three-?-stick
The Three-?-stick is going around ... and and so it came around. Björn from the Webzeugkoffer (excellent webdesign blog in German) picked up the stick by answering 3 questions that I will answer now too:
The three questions
Which Editor do you use for (X)HTML and CSS?
I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver. I'm still stuck at MX 2004, but I really got used to the color coding and other superficial things - it's like toothpaste, once you are hooked you'll never change again (don't ask for the trade pls).
...and notepad 😉
Which little tool became a true time saver for you?
Can't live without Firebug - seriously, can't live without it. That's not a little tool? Ok, what about ColorSet, love that also.
Flash - what do you think of that technology?
Call me a purist, but I'm really into DHTML. Unless somebody convinces me otherwise I can do what I need to do with HTML a JavaScript library like jQuery, Dojo, YUI or even the Facebook JavaScript Library.
I disliked flash when it got into 'mode' a century ago and still think that flash intros should die. Accessibility is still an issue also.
On the flipside our company created a really powerful ArcGIS API for Flex for building Rich Internet applications on top of ArcGIS Server, our internet mapping server. I might need to reconsider some of my previous believes.

ColoRotate – 3D color scheme generator with social component
Following up my blog entry on How to Create a Color Palette for your Website I stumbled over a fascinating color scheme generator: ColoRotate.
What is ColoRotate
Set into motion by Michael Douma, the executive director of the Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement, ColoRotate is a Flash-based application with a custom 3D display engine for visualization. When other palette generators are primarily focusing on the 2D color wheel, ColoRotate uses a prism to display color, luminescence, saturation, and brightness all in once. I found it very easy and intuitive to use and was able to produce a harmonious color palette within seconds (well, not that it was for any special purpose) and export the colors as CSS to my clipboard.
Here comes the part that I love: Sign in using your google account to save and share schemes. Yes, that means one can in reverse search, get inspired and re-use existing user-generated schemes.
Loving it.
Note on the side: Loving even more the lazy registration process 🙂
Go, check it out. It's not just another tool in your design toolbox. Look out for the Creative Suite 4 (CS4) plugin to come and start showcasing your palettes and discuss them with the community.
Beware of the Frankenstein Design
"It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open..." (Chapter 5). Sounds familiar to us geeky programmers out there? Yes, and the root of all evil are clients that design their webpage from a sushi menu, picking whatever they like.
Usually I encourage my clients to look around, get inspired and show me what they like. It gives me a sense of how they think and into which directions they want us to go. But never forget: Clients identify problems, designers provide solutions! Understand why the client shows you a specific page or design element and what exactly they like in it. Don't feel pressured to include every detail in your final design otherwise you wake up at 1am facing a yellow-eyed creature and you'll end up with a Frankenstein Design.
Warning Signals
What are warning signals that your project might face a Frankenstein Design?
- Client mentions Stakeholders too often. Money makes the world go round, but will eventually ruin the user experience.
- Client fell in love with a bad design. Try to build solid knowledge about good and bad design principles so you can explain the pro's and con's of a particular design.
- Client needs to please too many interests. It's understandable that every party involved wants to see their logo on the page, but honestly, one is enough 😉
- Client decides on a color scheme. Besides corporate colors clients feel strongly about certain colors that either clash with your design, psychological theory or existing color schemes or are simply bad taste altogether.
- Client has no idea at all. That means trouble! Not now, but once you are done. Guaranteed.
- Got more?
What you can do
- Listen. Hear what the client tells you and try to understand why they say it.
- Feel. Sense what the underlying need is and translate it into design elements.
- Talk. Speak up, don't shut up, don't wait until it's too late.
- Fight. Pick your battles, don't let rules overrule what you think is right, at least voice it.
- Reconsider. Don't get hooked to an idea too strongly, be open to erase your white-board drawings and start over.
- Document. Make notes, sketch ideas, capture screens, summarize. Send these notes out.
- CYA. Cover your ass, seek consensus and approval, set it in stone through written acknowledgments (mockups help).
Send me your experiences? What is missing on this list?
Best Practices for Accessible Stylesheets
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), or short Stylesheets, is a language used to describe the presentation (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language like HTML.
The stylesheet language as described in CSS level 2 revision 1 helps to separate presentation from structure and thus adds flexibility to the look and feel of a web page. Stylesheets are useful for the following reasons:
- Can be re-used for many documents
- Saves download times by caching by the browser
- Presentational changes are fast and easy and only in one document
- Development can be done independently from content and logic
- Increases ability to program for device independence
- Application of different styles for different output formats (e.g. print)
Basic Rules
- Add Stylesheets whenever possible (minimize number of stylesheets)
- Use them consistently across all pages
- Use linked stylesheets rather than embedded styles; avoid inline stylesheets
- Stylesheets do not substitute correct and meaningful structure
Best Practices
Level 1
|Organize documents so they may be read without style sheets
|Ensure that important content appears in the document object and is not generated by style sheets (i.e. through :before and :after pseudo-elements).
Level 2
|Use style sheets to control layout and presentation
<TITLE>Drop caps</TITLE>
STYLE type="text/css">
.dropcap { font-size : 120%; font-family : Helvetica }
STYLE>

Once upon a time...
Level 3
|Create a style of presentation that is consistent across pages
|A consistent style of presentation on each page allows users to locate navigation mechanisms more easily but also to skip navigation mechanisms more easily to find important content.

Steps to improve User Experience for Government
In my daily work I'm constantly confronted with developments for government sites. Often I hear confusion in what needs to be achieved, who needs to be served and especially why it should matter.
Listening into a Webcast by Human Factors International (download white paper on Designing the e-government experience through citizen-centered usability, March 2008) gave me additional insights that I want to summarize and present here:
Goals of eGovernment
The web offers governmental sites the potential for increased operational efficiency and cost reductions while improving access to information and services for their citizens.
Levels of interaction between these two actors (government & citizens) include:
- Connect citizens with legislative offices
- Communicate faster and more targeted
- Leverage access to public services (enhanced productivity with reduced effort)
Steps to improve eGovernment
Traditionally the government has three main functions:
- Report
- Transact
- Interact
What can be done to improve these functions/processes?
Get it out there
- What information is interesting?
- What is already available?
Make it useful & usable
- Pre-digest the information (e.g. into charts, comparisons, …)
- Understand the citizen's needs (e.g. Spanish language, search, text size, …)
- Assist citizen's in finding the information (sometimes they don't know it exists)
- Avoid: limited business focus, internal focus, lack of shared resource
Provide self-service
- Assist citizens to walk through business logic (avoid unnecessary pages, forms, fields, …)
Track improvement
- Establish a baseline (best practices review, scorecard, usability testing success rates, web analytics, call center volume, server logs, …)
- Validate improvements (success rate, task time) & seek for support within your organization for doing this
- Continuously track usage
- Why? Avoid falling back in national ranking, reduce costs for service calls, …
Make it engaging
- "Will? Can?" Will citizens use the service? Can they find it?
- Make it exciting
- Use experiences or technologies that are current and up to date (videos, gadgets, …)
Embrace the future
- Become creative to engage citizens in governmental issues (using the citizen's language), e.g. upload a photo of the damaged street (http://www.fixmystreet.com/)
- Encourage citizens to interact through social tools
Erase boundaries
- Integration of "Report", "Transact" and "Interact" means to remove the disparity between organizational structures of governments and the mental models of the citizens
- Understand and channel the motivation of citizens to use online services
- Integrate offers from multiple agencies into one comprehensible user experience
Start a movement
- Create a community by involving State & Agency Leadership, Agency CIO's and Webmasters
- Recognition and adoption are key aspects
- Embrace the chaos
- Provide useful & usable tools
- Reward contributions & demonstrate progress
- View webmasters as a partner, not as recipient
- The user's perspective of the organization and the actual organizational structures are mostly very different. Citizens should not need to know how an agency is organized or be familiar with its terminology.
- Focus on the citizen means to understand how they look for information!
- Integrate internal processes into one intelligent solution (iGov = integrated Government)
- Understanding the level of literacy is key to success. Easy language assists citizens in filling out bureaucratic forms.
Government must view itself as a business
- Attract and satisfy citizens. Beware of competition and consider concepts like 'brand loyalty'. Effective interaction adds benefits to citizens.
- Convert visitors into customers meaning that citizens become active online users of the services.
- Broaden the focus onto international audience which is important to attract entrepreneurship and investment capital and is a good indicator of a strong technology market and research and development environment.
Assistance through technology, tools and continuous improvement
- Support CIO's and webmasters through tools like design templates, standards, guidelines and an effective means of governance.
- Adjust technology to changing market conditions, population demographics and the user's level of expectations.
- Create a culture and long-term commitment (=institutionalization) of usability within the agency!
- Establish a baseline of improvement and continuously validate and improve through benchmarks.
Your thoughts?
I'd like to hear your feedback and if you have applied one or many of above techniques in your agency and what your experiences were.

Black And White Zig Zag Scarf | Just like the LBD or your little black dress, a scarf that is black is the most flattering accessory to any one of your outfits. It's possible for you to couple it. Like any LBD, they're the best thing about them is you can in fact repeat, reuse and recycle in and day out, therefore, decreasing your trend expenses and possibly classic, timeless pieces. Trendy, right?
Going Black And White Zig Zag Scarf is a lot more than a style. Donning something black can actually be ultra chic as well. That's why it's always the fail-safe alternative of just about anybody. Hollywood celebrities and fashionistas know this rather well and they've simply perfected the craft of wearing black. Surprisingly, they don't come off as boring or too dark. They just effortlessly and generally seem so good with a somewhat dull shade, actually.
Lots of celebrities wear long black scarves which actually seem quite straightforward. They let the ends only drape around them and only tie it. They still seem quite elegant even should they fit it with a couple of faded denim jeans along with a white tank top. A black scarf just completes any look, actually. It's the safest alternative and quite easily the fastest approach to add some class and glamor to your own outfits. Black And White Zig Zag Scarf

Eliminating Manipulation
by James J. Messina, Ph.D. & Constance M. Messina, Ph.D.
What is manipulation?
Manipulation is a set of behaviors whose goal is to:
Get you what you want from others even when the others are not willing initially to give it to you.
Make it seem to others that they have come up with an idea or offer of help on their own when in reality you have worked on them to promote this idea or need for help for your own benefit.
Dishonestly get people to do or act in a way which they might not have freely chosen on their own.
"Con'' people to believe what you want them to believe as true.
Get "your way'' in almost every interaction you have with people, places, or things.
Present reality the way you want others to see it rather than the way it "really is.''
Hide behind a "mask'' and let people see you in an acceptable way when in reality you are actually feeling or acting in an ``unacceptable'' way for these people.
Maintain control and power over others even though they think they have the control and power.
Make other people feel sorry for you even though it would be better for them to make you accept your personal responsibility for your own actions.
Get away with not having to do the things necessary to meet your obligations, responsibilities, and duties in life.
Involve everyone in your life's problems so that you do not have to face the problems alone.
Keep everything the same so that the "status quo'' is not affected or changed.
Make others feel guilty or responsible for actions or thoughts which are yours alone.
Get others to feel like they are responsible for your welfare so that you do not have to make a decision or take responsibility for anything that goes wrong in your life.

What are the negative effects of manipulation?
The negative effects of continued use of manipulation to control others are that:
People will wake up to your "con job'' on them and be no longer willing to support, assist, or help out when you need them.
You will become more likely to believe your own "con'' stories and fantasies and slip into a "pre-psychotic'' state with the inability to tell the difference between the reality and fantasy in your stories and lies.
You will get caught up in the need to continue to manipulate and con because it is the only way people will respond to you since they won't be able to relate to you as a "real'' or authentic person because that side of you is rarely shown.
People will find it difficult to fully trust you in the future and they will intentionally distance themselves from you for their own self-protection.
You run the risk of loss of a healthy "conscience'' and you will not be able to see the wrongness of your lying, conniving and storytelling.
People will be hurt by your behaviors because they will have opened themselves up to you by believing your "con job'' and then will be hit in the face by the reality of your scam on them.
You run the risk of being the recipient of others' anger, resentment, revenge seeking, hatred, or rage when they 'wake up'' to how they have been manipulated, used and abused.
You will use up enormous amounts of emotional energy in continuing your con of others and have little left to care for yourself.
You will experience a greater degree of stress and anxiety as time goes on and your con story line becomes more complex and people begin to pick apart the falsehood and dishonesty in your story.
You will experience depression and an emptiness as you realize that all of your success up to a point has been built like a "house of cards.''
Your low self-esteem will be exacerbated because of the lack of ability to take pride in your hard honest work to become everything you were capable of becoming.
How is manipulation a control issue?
Manipulation is a control issue because:
It can be a "politically savvy'' tool to handle over-controlling, intimidating, and autocratic people, places, or things, by giving the impression that the others have the "power'' when in reality you are freely doing what you need to do in order to politically survive and thus retain the "locus of control'' in your own hands.
The goal of manipulation is to control and overpower other people to do what you want them to do for you.
It is the unhealthy use of "power'' tactics to get something for yourself even if it robs others of their freedom of choice, reason, and rationality.
It uses control behaviors such as suicidal gestures to blackmail people to do and be for you the way you want them to be.
Sets up over controllers to rescue, as you get away with shifting your responsibility for yourself off on others, you will become more helpless so will seek out "fixers,'' "caretakers,'' and "rescuers'' to take care of you.
Hooks others since you might be an unchangeable and uncontrollable factor in someone else's life and yet keep that person "hooked'' into trying to ``be there'' for you when it becomes unhealthy or toxic for that person to continue to do so.
It involves dishonesty, deceit, use of masks, lack of clarity of messages sent, and pretense in order to get people to be the way you want them to be.
It can be a subtle use of control over others since you get them to do for you what they might not have freely chosen to do on their own will.
It is a form of mind control or brainwashing to control the thinking of others in a way which may not be consistent with their previous pattern of behavior, feeling or thinking.
Subversive means to get others to puppet what you lead them to do is use of power and control which is problematic and dangerous for those manipulated.
Power position since it places the "manipulator'' in a power position in control of the emotions and reasoning of those being manipulated.
"Survival'' technique which allows you to retain control of your life to ensure you that no one takes advantage of you.
Power struggle tool, since in any struggle for power and control it is a tool'' which is used to catch the other side off guard in order to win'' the contest.
What irrational thinking leads to use of manipulation?
If you do not keep others hooked on being involved with you, you will end up being ignored, unaccepted, or unwanted.
Use of manipulation was the only way you have ever gotten what you needed in life so why should you learn new ways of achieving the same end.
Use any means you need to "win'' since "winning'' is all that counts in life.
Don't ever let others think they have the "upper hand'' on you so that they never can take advantage of you.
It is always better to show the "perfect'' you to people than to let them see the "real'' you.
There is a "sucker'' born every minute so if you work hard enough you can sucker someone into taking care of all of your needs.
You can fool all of the people all of the time in order to get what you want out of them.
You must get others deeply involved in your life's problems in order for you to feel important, the center of attention, cared for, approved of, and accepted.
You are most successful when you are able to "delegate'' to others what you need to be doing for yourself.
If it works use it; worry about the consequences later.
Perception is reality, all that people are concerned about is their perception about things not the truth or underlying reality of the real situation.
Ways to eliminate manipulation in your relationships
In order to cease using manipulation in your relationships with others, you can try these steps:
First: Identify what behaviors you are using in your relationships with others in order to manipulate them into doing what you want them to do for you.
Second: Identify what issues in your life you are not wanting to accept personal responsibility for and which lead you to manipulate others to ignore or take care of for you.
Third: Identify your feelings about the issues in your life that you manipulate others to address or ignore.
Fourth: Identify what irrational beliefs underlie your need to manipulate others to take over the responsibility for the issues in your life.
Fifth: Identify what new beliefs about these issues would make you more personally responsible and a more "authentic'' or "real'' person.
Sixth: Identify what fears block your taking personal responsibility for these issues in your life and thus lead you to manipulate others to ignore or take care of them for you.
Seventh: Identify new feelings about these issues which would help you to be more realistic and more responsible as you face these issues.
Eighth: Identify new healthy, more productive coping behaviors which you can put into practice which will help you to become more personally responsible and less manipulative.
Ninth: Inform those people you have been manipulating to take care of you that you are now going to take the full responsibility for these issues on your own.
Tenth: Seek support from people in your life to assist you not to fall back into manipulating others to ignore or to take care of these issues for you.
Eleventh: Give permission to the people in your life to "call you on it'' when you are falling back into the manipulative behaviors by which you try to control them to take responsibility for the issues in your life.
Twelfth: When you find yourself falling back into use of manipulation, return to the first step and start over again.
Steps to eliminating manipulation in your life
Step 1: In order to eliminate the use of manipulation in your life, you first need to identify the behaviors you use to manipulate others to ignore or take over responsibility for your care and your problem life issues. To identify your manipulative behaviors, use the Manipulative Behavior Inventory in the beginning of this chapter.
Step 2: Once you've identified the manipulative behaviors you use to get people to do things for you to ignore your problems or to keep them off guard, you then need to identify who are the people you manipulate. In your journal, identify the people you manipulate.
Step 3: Why do you manipulate others? Identify in your journal the issues present in your life which you manipulate others to address or ignore.
Answer the following questions about these issues.
A. How do you feel about each of these issues?
B. Why do you feel a need to manipulate others concerning these issues?
C. Which issues do you want others to ignore or overlook?
D. Which issues do you want others to fix or change for you?
E. Which issues do you want others to feel responsible for?
F. Which issues overwhelm you? Which issues overwhelm others?
G. Which issues depress you? Anger you?
H. Which issues do you want to run away from?
I. Which issues do you feel helpless to deal with? Hopeless to cope with?
Step 4: In your journal now identify:
A. What irrational beliefs keep you from successfully coping with each issue identified in Step 3?
B. What new, healthy, more rational beliefs do you need in order to cope with and handle these issues?
C. What thinking keeps you from accepting personal responsibility for your problems and issues?
D. What new thinking do you need in order to accept personal responsibility for your own problems and issues?
Step 5: In your journal now identify what new, healthier, more productive behaviors you need to develop to address your problems and issues.
Step 6: Implement these new behaviors.
Step 7: Inform people of your old manipulative behaviors and give them permission to "call you on it'' if you fall back into old manipulative ways.
Step 8: If you find yourself relapsing back into manipulative behaviors to get people to ignore or take care of you, then return to Step 1 and begin over again.

Being a codie I have been advised by others that I need to let go of my own manipulation tactics.
It seems all my manipulative tactics center around trying to make others stop their addictive and/or abusive behaviors. I definately need to keep the solution in mind for that....

Great Post, MG. It's strange to see some old behaviours that I owned before I found recovery, and stranger still that I ever thought they could stop my son from using drugs.
I still see a few behaviours that may need some attention, and I better give some thought to why they seem useful to me in any way. I'm sure they are all about my own insecurity.
Thanks for getting my brain going on this one.

Am working on this behavior...did not know what it was or understand it. I read another site this morning that said it was the ego again, so it is a spiritual disease, and now I know they are right. It is about getting our needs met that comes from ourself and not from God or God's will. It is really awful behavior based on selfishness, not love, so will be very glad to change it. I think only lots of prayer and learning to give, rather than take, are the only answers to this problem...it is so horrible. That was in my family of origin background and it was very hurtful..but the thing is I don't want to do that to someone else. It is not love.

Ah yeah, defects of character = shortcomings. Old behaviours are what I needed to change, in almost all aspects of my life.

Great post Morning Glory. I'd love to post a hard copy up on my home office wall along with: "The unexamined life is not worth living -Socrates", "To thine own self be true -Shakespeare", etc. but I wouldn't have any room left for other great nuggets :-) I guess I'll have to settle for an e-bookmark; I plan to come back to it often.

Wow. I spent an hour this morning reviewing this post. Manipulation is HUGE in my family and of course I learned more subtle ways to do it to get by! I guess one good thing is I know it and I name it. However, I need to be a little more thoughtful to continue to stop some of this manipulation before I even start.
Very helpful post. Thank you.

Information about Community College of Aurora kinesiology major, and registering for discussion sections. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? You can enter nursing with either an associates degree or BSN. As a licensed vocational nurse (LVN), you may provide patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). Concentrating on Community College of Aurora kinesiology major, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the physical therapy department for course registration deadlines, and kinesiology program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Community College of Aurora.
Physical therapist assistants (PTA) and physical therapist aides work under the supervision of physical therapists, helping patients who are recovering from injuries regain movement and manage chronic pain. Further, they develop exercise programs that will help patients improve cardiovascular function, regain flexibility, and build muscle mass. All states require physical therapist assistants to have an associates degree from an accredited physical therapist assistant program. These programs typically last 2 years, and include courses in algebra, English, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. PTAs gain hands-on experience during supervised clinical work rotations, and may earn certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other first-aid skills.
Licensure typically requires graduation from an accredited physical therapist assistant program and passing the National Physical Therapy Exam, administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Physical therapist aides, on the other hand, are not required to be licensed but earn less salary. Some states require that applicants pass additional state-administered exams, undergo a criminal background check, and be at least 18 years old. Employment of physical therapist assistants and aides is projected to grow 40 percent from 2017 to 2025, much faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for physical therapist assistants and aides was $46,980 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the physical therapy department, you may consider Marshalltown Community College sonography program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Welcome to the online home of St. Barnabas' Episcopal Church in Arroyo Grande, California.
Welcome Back!
The start of the school year is a good time to reaffirm our welcome to families of all shapes and sizes.
As always, children are always welcome at St. Barnabas. If you would like to have your child with you during the service, books and toys for children are available in the entrance. We have a "family room" at the back of the church, where you can see and hear the service if you need some privacy with your small child. If you prefer, you can take your child to our nursery for infants and toddlers. Please let us know, in advance, if you need childcare for any of our events and we will be glad to arrange it for you!

Description: The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March from Anchorage to Nome. The race is the most popular sporting event in Alaska. The trail runs from Willow up the Rainy Pass of the Alaska Range into the sparsely populated interior, and then along the shore of the Bering Sea, finally reaching Nome in western Alaska. The trail is through a harsh landscape of tundra and spruce forests, over hills and mountain passes, and across rivers. The Southern Route is used for the odd years and the Northern Route for the even years. Pilots will fly supplies to the various checkpoints along the event trail. Choose your aircraft wisely as most runways are in the 2500 - 4000 foot range however, some runways are even shorter. Sign up to enjoy all the challenges this tour has to offer and dress warm! Tour start date is March 4th, 2017

And you'll prove to me that you weren't just another friend after all.
This is the first chapter of All My Favorite Words on Wattpad. If you want to read more, go to the link. :D
A personal blog filled with stories, poems and the thoughts of a realist optimist who strives to inspire and stir emotions within the reader.
Little things really do stick out in our memories from the first time we meet someone special. What a very realistic write-up, well done!ReplyDelete
This was actually how my boyfriend and I met six years ago. :)Delete
If that is the first chapter, the book is going to be awesome. I love it so far.ReplyDelete
That was quite an impactful meeting. I love how it stuck with you two.ReplyDelete
It is amazing how an encounter can affect two people so differently. It is also kind of sad when one remembers it so well and then the other does not remember it at allReplyDelete
So many things can be chalked up to fate or happenstance or coincidence in life. Sometimes I think it is astonishing that I might not have been able to be a parent even if not for some of this magical stuff at work.ReplyDelete
This is such an innocent and sweet piece! I love it :)ReplyDelete
Amazing how little things can set a much later thing in motion. Great to have such memories as well. xReplyDelete
This is a great write-up, very captivating as you read it and relate to it. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
amazing I can just visualize the whole thing
I always say life is made out of the little things
Well written. The story flows really nicely and makes me want to read more.ReplyDelete
Cute story... happenstance indeed. It is so interesting how people meet, or don't, when they live near each other.ReplyDelete
This is so funny because my husband and I actually met the same way back in 1986. We became friends of friends for a long time then finally went out with each other. We married in 1991 and have been happily married ever since. I wonder what would have happened if those instances had been different all the time.ReplyDelete
So beautifully written, amazing!ReplyDelete
It really is the little moments in life that can change the path of our future.ReplyDelete
That is a fun word actually. Great story, thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Love it! Happenstance is a great word, which I'll have to start using more often!ReplyDelete
I love how this depicts the exact moment you both met. It is very romantic and I have always been a hopeless romantic at heart.ReplyDelete
I still remember how I met my best friend of 19 years. She was new to the school so sitting at her locker doing homework and eating chips (ringolos, yes I still remember the kind). I walked up and said "Oh Chips" grabbed a chip then sat down and introduced myself to her.ReplyDelete
This is wonderful! Will need to read more!ReplyDelete
This was such a cute read. I want to read the rest of it. Gonna check it out.ReplyDelete
Love it and the word. All of those little things put together to make a beautiful memory and relationship!ReplyDelete
Isn't that funny how you can remember every little detail from when you meet someone special? Sounds like a beautiful way to have met your love :)ReplyDelete
Sounds like a good read. I'll be sure to check it out later.ReplyDelete
Great idea to write short stories based on favorite words. I love that.ReplyDelete
Exactly how my girlfriend and I met. Except it was online, so not exactly, exactly.ReplyDelete
Nice. :) Makes it all the more special to see it's a story about you and your boyfriend!ReplyDelete
This is fantastic. My daughter loves to hear the story of how my husband and I met, and she's heard it a million times...ReplyDelete
I love a good love story that starts out that way! Definitely a happenstance. :)ReplyDelete
That is a great word. I haven't heard it in awhile though. Amber NReplyDelete
That is so beautiful. Those little moments that we don't know would later shape our lives. Congrats!ReplyDelete
I love learning about how couples first met. That's a cute story!ReplyDelete
I will never forget the first time I met my husband. Never would have thought in a million years that we would be married. Crazy,ReplyDelete
Oh, I love your writing style! That scenario is totally something I can relate to. I can't say I remember the last time I used the word Happenstance, though.ReplyDelete
Lovely-- thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
This made me smile, it made remember the few words me and my boyfriend met.. way back :)ReplyDelete
Glad to see your posts again! Happenstance is awesome and a movie is made about it too! CHeck it out.ReplyDelete
