'Nothing Lasts...' Tee
'Nothing Lasts For Long' - a line in a Joni Mitchell song and the theme of our 2018 NYC temporary store - was the subject delivered to poet Jacqueline Suskin over email last summer. Through her project Poem Store, Jacqueline invites patrons to give her any topic for which she will spontaneously craft a poem, and even more miraculous than her quick work, is the depth and relatable truths that are always revealed.
Often romantically bittersweet but never without hope, Jacqueline's poems serve to make us feel more connected to ourselves and others. We are thrilled to share our collaboration featuring her poem, Nothing Lasts For Long, in wearable soft BAM tee form - hand printed in a size big enough to read but small enough that it may serve to invite others closer and continue the message of connection.

Made on our Sunday Tee
100% Cotton
Machine wash cold/Tumble dry
Thoughtfully made in the USA
Features unique, one-of-a-kind distress at the neckband, sleeve hem, and bottom hem achieved through hand distressing of each piece. We believe this adds to the character of the piece. In fact, we think it makes it better.

Q: We noticed some recent changes at your Smashwords Publishing Page. Can you tell us what changes you are making and why?
A: Well, first of all, writing stories is an interesting and ever-changing process – at least for me. In December 2011, I published Desperate Rescue with Smashwords. I had already published that book with a vanity press, three years prior to that, but selling books with them was a huge challenge. When I discovered e-publishing, well that opened up a whole new world for me, just like it has for every other Indie writer out there.
I only intended to write individual books; in other words, stand-alone's, but that changed somewhere along the way and my first book became the beginning of a series. So here I am, with an entire series of eight novels. But to do this, I needed to unpublish Desperate Rescue, as well as Unwitting Alliances. Both have been re-edited and are now part of the new series – Duplicity.
Q: Do you worry about what readers will think when you unpublish something?
A: No. Not really. I mean, the publishing world has changed so much and the ease of publishing as an Indie writer, and particularly with Smashwords, has allowed every author the ability to make necessary adjustment, or corrections, if you will, with minimal consequences. Plus, both of those books were free. If I had sold them for a price, I might feel differently about it. But I think anyone who has already read Desperate Rescue or Unwitting Alliances, will actually enjoy the re-edits of those two books and the entire series over all.
Q. When did you first start writing?
A: I think my first serious efforts at writing began when I was in high school. I remember turning in a paper to my English teacher and her comments were very positive and encouraging. Unfortunately, my confidence in my ability to do more than simply turn in assignments hadn't developed yet, and it would take quite a few years before I actually tackled writing a story.
Q: So, what finally nudged you to do that? To write a story?
A: I have to laugh about my nudge. It started from a dream I had one night. I decided to write down what I could remember, and things just grew from there. And although it began with a dream, the story has morphed completely away from that initial nudge. At the time, I was already married and had two or three kids. I'd stay up late, after they were in bed and work on the story. It wasn't long before I was completely absorbed in it, but it would take another few years before I actually pushed myself to finish it.
Q: And that's when you published?
A: No. It took a few more years to do that. However, I had a friend who was, and still is, a professional writer – Sharon. She agreed to read my story and gave me a lot of valuable feedback. She didn't white-wash anything, and I'm grateful. To this day, there are still some things I inadvertently do, when I'm writing that I'll catch and fix, because of Sharon's skills as an editor and the feedback she'd given me.
As for publishing, I was in my middle forties, when I actually published that book the first time. By then I had five kids! I also kept working on other writing ideas and stories as well, including some children's stories.
Q: Do you still write children's stories?
A: Not actively, at the moment, but it is something I'm thinking about returning to. I do have one book for kids at Smashwords, called Danger in the Woods. It's about a brother and sister who get lost in a wooded area and have quite an adventure of their own.
Q: Can you tell us about your writing process? Like, do you write every day? If so, for how long? Do you set goals? That sort of thing.
A: I do try to write every day. Sometimes it might be for just an hour or so, sometimes up to eight hours or more. It just depends on a lot of things. As you know, I retired from a job in 2018. While still working, my writing was limited to a few short hours a day and usually late at night. Now, though, I can set my writing hours however I please. I like that. In fact, it's because I finally left that job, and freed up my time, that I was able to finally push myself to get this new series completed and ready to publish. If I were still working at a job, publishing the series would still be months or even years away.
As for goals, that is actually a very important and necessary aspect of writing. If you don't set a goal, and if you don't force yourself to be accountable to that goal, you'll never accomplish anything. I don't see how you could. Some people may say they don't set goals, but if they actually complete something, then I'd say they are goal-setters, but very disciplined. They may not write down their goals, but they have them tucked away in their brains somewhere and they are obedient to them. I kinda envy them, to be honest. I have to write everything down and calendar everything. It's the only way I can keep track and stay on course.
Q: What is the greatest joy you derive from writing?
A: Good question. I think for any writer, whether fiction or non-fiction, you need to find some measure of joy in what you do. If you don't, I wouldn't expect that you could produce great work. For me, as a writer of fiction, I thoroughly enjoy developing characters and discovering how they will interact with each other. I mean, you can set up a list of characters and begin your story, but it isn't until you really get into that story, that you begin to see who these characters are and how they will behave. Some of my characters have surprised me. For instance, in the beginning, I thought one of them, in particular, was a good guy. Boy, was I surprised when I discovered that maybe he isn't.
Q: So, you don't have a clear idea of the kind of people your characters are before you start a book?
A: Not completely, no. Not always. I mean, when you meet someone for the first time, do you always know exactly what kind of person they are? Sometimes you do immediately. It could be their smile, tone of voice, or a handshake. At other times you're not quite sure and want to get to know them a little better. Right?
So, okay, you've decided to write a story. And let's say you have these two characters talking about a particular situation. Doesn't matter what the situation is, but realistically each character should have their own opinion or perspective of that situation. They will react individually to the situation. Maybe the same, but maybe not. I cannot always see where a particular situation is going to lead at the outset of writing a scene, which may involve several characters, all with their own perspective. You have to understand that each character needs to have his or her own voice. When you put yourself into the shoes of each character, and try to imagine what their reaction might be to a situation, that's when that character's 'voice' becomes apparent. And in that moment, the direction of the scene can change, which will affect future scenes within the story.
It's like what you and I are doing right now. You ask a question, and I respond based on how I understood the question and what I think it is you want to know. In a fictional story, it's not much different. You still have to figure out what each character will do in any given situation. How they will respond to each other and the events going on.
Q: That sounds like a lot of work.
A: It is, but once you determine what each character's actual role is in the story – to move it along, it gets easier. One of the 'tricks' I've used is to think about people I've become acquainted with or known during my life. Or people I've observed. By mimicking some of the characteristics, phraseology, body language, and so forth of real people, you can begin to sculpt your fictional characters. It does take some time and plenty of rewriting – sentences, paragraphs, etc., but it's just the way things work. In fact, leaving some scenes alone for a few days or even weeks – stepping away from some parts of the story – then coming back to them, helps provide some clarity which helps with the rewrites.
Q: What about keeping relationships straight? The characters' relationships to one another. Is that a challenge for you?
A: It sure enough can be. For instance, in the series Duplicity, there is this family, the Voclain's, that we meet in Book 3, a Calculated Risk. This family plays an important role in the story. I had to create a pedigree chart of the family, to recognize and keep the relationships straight and understand the dynamics of the family. I needed to make sure I knew how they all interconnected. I even developed backstories for most of the key characters, which also required doing some historical homework to keep dates and events in alignment. Bits and pieces of those backstories find their way into the novels, but not everything. It just helped me understand my characters better. I needed to know more about them in order to recognize how they would conduct themselves throughout the story. I'm actually considering sharing some of those backstories, and maybe even the pedigree chart to readers on my email subscribers list – Occasional insider perks for being a loyal fan and faithful subscriber.
Q: Well then let's talk about your fan's and subscribers. How do they affect your writing?
A: Fans and faithful followers provide me with perks of my own. As much as I enjoy writing and will continue to write, reader feedback, pro or con, is exciting and encouraging. I don't think any writer can fully enjoy any measure of success without the support of their fans. Money, alone, is not the measure of success. How you can affect people, hopefully in a positive way, is a truer measure of success. Up until I published Duplicity, my books have been free, but I still felt a great sense of success at watching the growth in the numbers of downloads I'd get each month.
Whether you charge for your books or not, the fan base is what keeps a writer encouraged to continue to write. I love to write, and sure, I'd like to earn some additional income from it, but even if I don't, I'll still continue to write. It's satisfying. It's fulfilling.
Q: That's interesting. Besides what you just mentioned, how else is it satisfying or fulfilling for you?
A: I've thought about that, a lot. To begin with, I think for me the initial satisfaction came from discovering that I can write. Obviously, how well I write depends a great deal on the responses I get from readers. So, it is satisfying when I see the number of downloads my books get or the reviews.
Writing is fulfilling in a number of ways. For instance, as a kid, I was very shy. And I used to think things like, 'If only I had…," or "I wish I had…." Through writing I can sorta 're-write' some parts of my own life that I regret not pursuing – that fact that I didn't even make an effort to do something, or didn't have the courage to do it. For instance, and this will sound silly, but in high school I wanted to be a cheerleader, but I didn't even go to the tryouts. I was too shy and had already made up my mind, they wouldn't choose me. Obviously, they didn't choose me because I didn't make an effort because I didn't show up.
That was then. I'm not all that shy any more and I tend to be rather outspoken a good deal of the time – it's almost a one-eighty for me. I finally 'showed up'. I didn't want to live out the rest of my life 'wishing' I had done this or that; to wish I had written a book. So, rather than wishing, I made the decision to actually do something. I was tired of the regrets. That classic, but worn-out phrase, 'You only live once', is absolutely true. So – live! If you continue to keep telling yourself, 'Naw, it'll never happen for me,' you're right. It won't happen unless you make it happen. You have to show up.
Q: What would you say to any aspiring author?
A: Pretty much what we've already talked about. If you deeply desire to be a writer and a published author, then be one. Be an Indie writer and take advantage of an opportunity like Smashwords to make that happen. Then you have to write. Write often, daily, if you can. Work on your craft. Take writing courses, join a group, if you think that might help, or find a writing buddy who is determined to make something of their writing desires. But the key point of become a better writer is to write, write, write, then get feedback and write some more.
I use BETA readers to read and critique my work. BETA readers have become one of the best tools a writer could have. I demand that my BETA readers are one-hundred percent honest with me. I do not want sugar-coated reviews. I use questionnaires to help them with their evaluations. It's been good. I love getting their feedback. I actually enjoy the feedback that points out my weaknesses or lack of clarity, bad scenes, unrealistic characters, and so forth. The last thing I want to do is publish something that will draw levels of criticism from the readers that could have been dealt with long before the book was published. Like I said, BETA readers are so valuable, but you need people who will be absolutely honest with you, so develop a thick skin, hand out draft copies, and let it all happen. In the long run you'll appreciate the work they do.
Q: Okay, well I'm sure there are people who want to write a book, but don't know how to get started. So, let's say, I want to write a book, how do I get started?
A: You just start writing.
Q: No, seriously, how do I get started? I have no idea what to write. I don't even know how to begin.
A: Write that down.
Q: Write what down?
A: What you just said. Those exact words you just said. Okay, so when I'm having a challenge, lets' say with a scene, or maybe I think I know where I want my story to go – the general direction of it – but I'm having a hard time pulling it together, That 'writer's block' thing – I'll sit at my computer and start having a conversation with myself. But I write down every single thought and comment that comes to my mind. Sometimes I carry on a verbal conversation with myself, but I still write it all down. It doesn't take long to discover that once you start creating conversations with your characters, the flow of the story begins to move along. I even start using conversation quote marks, because lines of conversation begin to develop. I'll add in the 'he said's and she said's." I know it sounds a little crazy, but it works really well for me because the scene starts to take shape and before you know it, I'm completely engrossed in my writing again.
Another thing I do, when I'm at a stalemate, is jump forward. I'll work on a chapter where I can envision the events or interactions of some of the characters. I'll jump in and work on that chapter, even if it is out of sequence but while it's still fresh in my mind because I don't want to forget or lose any of it. Either way, the 'writer's block' usually vanishes and off we go again!
The same will work if you want to start writing something like a book, or article, anything. I'd like to think you have some kind of an idea of what you want to write about. Start with a list. Bullet points, or something, and keep doing that. Then when you run out of bullet point ideas, start having a conversation with yourself, but write it all down. The whole conversation. You do that, and before you know it, you'll be writing. But you have to write down all of your thoughts, even if some of it doesn't make sense at the moment. It will eventually. You don't want to lose any of those fragments or ideas. Not one. So, be a writer and write them down.
Q: I'll have to get that a try. Okay. So, what are you working on next? Another series?
A: That's a very good question and one I've begun to ponder on recently. I have a few ideas I'd like to explore, but whether or not I'll pull together another series is to be seen. Writing a series is challenging. You have to make sure all the pieces and parts fit together to keep that lengthy storyline true to itself. It's a lot of work. Right now, I'm thinking about doing some stand-alone books next. We'll see. But who knows? Something may end up as the catalyst for another series.
Q: Will any of your current characters end up in any of those new book ideas?
A: I don't think so. I'd like to create some new characters. See what I can do with them. Hopefully, those new characters and I will all get along just fine so we can produce something else 'read-worthy'.
Q: It sounds like you really do enjoy your writing. So, is there anything else you'd like to say or comment about? Any words of encouragement?
A: I think the most important thing anyone should think about is discovering what their own passions are and work on them. It may not be writing. It could be anything! Cooking, sports, travel, art, community service, getting a pilot's license, choosing a new career goal, going back to school to finish a degree program, or simply exploring something completely different – learning something new. Anything. A phrase I frequently use is "Pursue your dreams, whatever they are, just never give up." It applies to anything but the key is to never give up unless you reach a point where figuring out how to leap across the Grand Canyon without the aid of a motorcycle or a helicopter just won't work. Because the minute you tell yourself, "It'll never happen for me," then you are absolutely right, no matter what it is – it never will.

Before you explore and compare different schools, first decide what you're looking for in a school. Ask your parents to do the same thing. Then compare your answers and come to some agreement as to what you want in a school. Search for a school that fits you well academically, socially and culturally:
If you're still having trouble deciding, ask yourself:
Don't eliminate a school solely because it's outside your comfort zone. The challenge of dealing with the unfamiliar can help you grow as a person.

Everything involving photography has been my passion since 2012. I was introduced to my first Canon EOS M camera on Christmas morning, it was the only present I wanted.
My father always loved to take photographs when I was little to preserve memories of every occasion and it seems that he passed that love of capturing moments onto me. I haven't been able to stop taking photos since that day and nor do I want to.
Why Photography?
I love creative resonance. It's like a drug.
Photography is where I find that for my life. I love what I do. I love making photographs that create that a shining moment of connection.
I'm inspired by raw instances, the concept of fun, moments of aspiration, and cultural diversities.
With no entourage or precious behaviour, just an extremely keen eye and genuine enthusiasm for getting the most out of each and every shoot, I have developed my own recognisable style.
Zero 8
With Zero 8 Photography on the scene, you won't just see the images of those precious, once-in-a-lifetime moments-you'll relive them all over again.
This company is not just about putting a view finder to an eye and pressing the capture button, it is about creating a photo that is unlike no other.
Like my taste in music my work can be rather eclectic, so no matter what your next project is I'm always willing to listen.

This Just In...British Backtrack Over General
In related news, a Moroccan troop transport backed over a colonel today, leaving him with multiple injuries and contusions. It was believed monkeys were at the wheel of the transport which was last seen heading to the sea to pick up some errant dolphins. A visiting foreign ambassador was quoted as saying, "When will monkeys ever learn to use rear-view mirrors?".
France has lodged a protest with the UN.
Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

There has been much talk about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within financial services to streamline processes and add value, some of which we are already seeing in the form of robo advisors and big data processors.
AI has the potential to solve many issues for the financial providers and corporates – reducing middle and back office administration, for example. In the first of a series of three blogs, I'm going to explore exactly what AI is and how it works in financial
services. But first, we need to start with the basics.
Intelligence, redefined
AI use computing power to simulate intelligent human behaviour. The complex human abilities of perception, mobility and interpretation are skills that require analysis such as understanding, natural language and vision – these are the building blocks of
AI is already a part of our world. The pervasive use of mobile devices has increased interest in the ease of human interaction with computers, with recent advances made in natural language understanding such as speech recognition and vision – think of asking
Siri a question or being able to unlock a device using your face.
This isn't limited to mobile devices either – self-driving cars and robots are increasingly applying interpretation and understanding in order to give information context and learn.
There is no denying that the use of AI in our everyday lives is growing. But in order to maximise its potential, we need to understand how it is different to how humans work, and how it is different to computers and what it can do for us.
How are AI machines different from computers?
Normal programmes have to use an algorithm that works on input data to generate an output. AI programmes also use algorithms, with the key difference being that it requires knowledge to make it intelligent.
Typically, an AI machine is specialised to solve a specific type of problem using a software engine that is coupled with knowledge. This allows it to be flexible – if the knowledge changes, the behaviour of the AI machine changes.
The key here is that AI machines can place context into situations, whereas a normal computer cannot – but only when appropriate and accurate knowledge is made available to it, otherwise it will not be able to apply intelligent behaviour.
How are AI machines different from humans?
Computers are dumb – they only understand 1's and 0's. Everything we see them do is done through layers of software programmes, from microprocessor chips and up through to the operating system, with each application designed to perform a very specific task
at the behest of the user.
Humans are very different – they remember and learn, which is then converted into knowledge. This knowledge is then used to apply context to situations when appropriate, whether it is purely common sense or expertise.
We are a long way from developing general purpose intelligent machines that operate on the same scale as humans, since the computational power required will be enormous. Currently, all AI machines need to be task-specific. For example, while a successful
AI programme like Deep Blue plays chess very well against human opponents, it cannot play Go. This is due to the vast amount of new data that would have to be input for it to understand the rules and then take it years to learn the best techniques.
Where AI has its real benefit, however, is its ability to solve practical, everyday problems in less time and computational power than current devices offer – enriching our personal and professional lives through automation.
This is where AI offers real potential for the financial services industry, ensuring specific tasks are automated while still being completed to the same standard as if human employees were undertaking them.

Brand Transparency – Why your bottom line depends on it
Consumers want greater transparency in their everyday purchases. As our technology grows, we have become more and more educated about our decisions and where we do business. In decades past we relied on advertising to inform us about our decisions.
The concern with advertising was that truth in advertising was rare, and the honesty and trust of the advertiser was often questionable. We are no longer limited to one-sided communication from the company we patronize, now we have community and can seek opinions and details in advance of our purchases through reviews, websites, and our own viral inquiries.
Create needs-based expectations for your brand in the mind of your clients and you'll be the brand of choice every time. The top needs based categories to consider are: make money, save money, save time, eliminate pain or struggle (gain comfort), eliminate effort, gain recognition. The first step is to identify your client's most important need, and persuade them that you are the source to meet their demand.
Most of your competitors will skip this step. They will market their services according to how they make their purchasing decisions, or without doing any research. One of the common mistakes I see is that a business is waiting to achieve a certain level of success before they are transparent to their clients. Here are some ways that you can pull back the curtain, be completely honest and transparent, and open the door to winning the business:
1) Take your clients through your thought process. As you grow in business and discover new ways to serve your clients, include them at every step. Take them along for the ride. Often we want to wait until we are ready to launch before we introduce our clients to a new way to serve them. Then, we course correct and improve the service after the first round. The alternative is beter. The alternative is to take them through the process as you're building the service, getting their feedback
2) Be honest at every step. Of course, this goes without saying when it comes to the service you offer, but I believe it's also true when you encounter roadblocks in your journey. I remember a popular business coach hosting a teleclass last year that totally bombed. She had a series of technology complications, and then to compensate she went into "recovery and sales mode" and ending up delivering a call that was criticized across the net.
After just a few hours of contemplation, she decided to record the call again, blast her mistakes to her followers using social media and describe to them her emotional struggle with the call. The result? She continued to be a trust brand in her industry, and garnered the respect of her critics.
3) Share your opinion. One of the essentials needed for developing a brand is to establish your brand's tone of voice. With this voice it's important to express your opinion without censoring it. Be authentic in your expression, while maintaining a high level of integrity and respect, and you'll resonate with your ideal client in a deeper way.
4) Don't be the man or woman behind the curtain. Remember how at the end of the Wizard of Oz (one of my favorite movies) the wizard lost all credibility? He was too busy broadcasting demands and too insecure putting up a false sense of results to care. When we was "found out" he did more than let his people down, he let his nation down. Your decisions may not carry that much weight (yet) but if you truly value your customers, pull back that curtain and include some photos and videos in your marketing.
Transparency is expected in today's marketplace. The more intimate and common your service, the more your clients will come to expect it. The transparency allows you to gain more credibility and also allows you to connect with your passion at every level.

Ariel Pink has brought fans back into his curiously wonderful world with the release of his new single, "Another Weekend". The LA artist's first cut of new music since January's collaboration with Weyes Blood (Myths 002), "Another Weekend" proves to be an exciting look ahead to the new chapter from Ariel Pink – one we've been looking forward to for quite some time.
The tune is a weirdly hypnotic one; playful and bold, "Another Weekend" is bristling with the eclecticism that Ariel Pink has become synonymous with and loved for. A familiarity exists within the music, while the ambition behind it is distinctively new and exciting.

Vytjagivanie of draughts and models
For manufacturing of draughts and models templates are used. If simple draught or an eaves is required, as a template the profile board will be used. It represents a board from a tree, fettered by a steel or tin strip. For okovki from metal sheet cut off a piece which strengthen on a plate. To it over metal buttons pin a paper with a contour of a template and shilom pierce drawing, transferring it on metal. Having removed a paper, a pencil trace a contour and do a small allowance on which make cutting out. Turned out okovku put on a board and lead round on a contour, and a superfluous tree cut off a sharp knife for profile reception. One party of a board fetter metal, another cut at an angle 20-25 °.
To mount a template, it is necessary to use a board, which length 2 times more than a profile board, - so-called polozok. The more shortly polozok, the template position during time vytjagivanija will be less steady. The profile board is necessary for attaching strongly by means of nails to polozku at an angle 90 °. A ready template establish on a workbench, having pressed polozok to directing rejke ( fig. 28 ). If manufacturing of model by thickness more than 3-4 sm for reduction of its weight it is necessary to create emptiness in plaster draught is supposed. It becomes by means of a special lining which make of clay (a thickness of a lining to 10 sm) or from a tree (a thickness more than 10 sm). Plaster it will be easy to separate from a lining covered with one layer of a paper. The extended product should not be longer 1 m, differently it will be difficult to maintain its straightforwardness.
a Fig. 28. A template for vytjagivanija rectilinear plaster draught of eaves :
1 - directing rejka a workbench; 2 - polozok; 3 - laths; 4 - a template; 5 - a workbench.
For easy sliding of a template before the work beginning it is necessary to grease all its details and a workbench. Started to get thick the plaster solution by means of a shovel needs to be laid out on a workbench. That the model has turned out easier and strong, it is possible to put hemp in the first layer of plaster. All actions should be made very quickly, differently plaster will harden. The template is necessary for moving smoothly along directing rejki, densely pressing it to a workbench. .
When a template move the neoforged part forward, it name movement "эр ыюёъ" when fettered - movement "эр юсфшЁ". The first make movement "эр ыюёъ" in regular intervals to distribute plaster on model. The template can be moved only forward; to a starting position it transfer, having removed from model. Further enclose on a detail plaster and repeat movements "эр ыюёъ" before formation of a product of the demanded form. Then wait, while plaster will not fall asleep, and a superfluous material from model clean template movement "эр юсфшЁ". In the end of work it is necessary to lay out once again on draught liquid plaster and movement "эр ыюёъ" to remove its surplus. The ends of ready draught cut off at an angle 90 °. .
To prevent plaster hardening in an operating time, a solution prepare in the small portions, submitting it to a workplace without breaks. Only at such approach the product consists of homogeneous layers that provides to it durability and a smooth, beautiful surface. .
For manufacturing of platbands one party of draught is necessary for cutting off at an angle 45 °, it will provide dense prileganie details to each other. To a surface of a wall the platbands, which width does not exceed 10 sm, wider fasten on a plaster solution, - by means of nails, crutches and wire suspension brackets.
For vytjagivanija models of the round socket or a wreath make a wooden rotating template with the necessary profile. To a profile board by a nail it is attached radiusnaja rejka. The probe (it is possible to use a nail without a hat) which the ruler ( fig. 29 is put on by the free end radiusnaja is driven in Into the template center). Further work is made in the same way as at vytjagivanii rectilinear eaves, thus the profile board moves on a circle.
a Fig. 29. Vytjagivanie the round socket :
And - a template for vytjagivanija; - vytjagivanie; 1 - a profile board; 2 - polozok; 3 - the probe; 4 - radiusnaja rejka.
At desire it is possible to make the socket with bent to the center or sides curved from the center. For this purpose it is necessary to construct by means of compasses on a template a circle and to divide it into so much parts, how many sides should turn out at the socket. Then through each division into circles from its center lines which should limit movement of a profile board are spent. Now each sector is halved tsentrovymi by axes on which it is necessary to note that place where will take place socket edge. If manufacturing of the socket with convex sides on tsentrovym to axes between edge of the socket and the circle center at one level probes which it is put on radiusnaja rejka are driven in is planned, and by means of a template is made vytjagivanie the bent sides. If socket sides have to be curved to the center probes for a profile board are driven in on the other hand from edge ( fig. 30 ).
a Fig. 30. Vytjagivanie sockets with curvilinear sides :
And - with bent to the center; - with convex from the center.
More difficult in manufacturing, but also much more effective ornament of a facade are sockets with petals. To receive them it is possible in two ways.
Most easier by means of a round template to extend the usual socket. To allocate petals, it is necessary through their middle and the socket center to spend straight lines. Then mark borders of petals, leaving between them small intervals. By means of compasses the roundish top of each petal is created. After that the sharp end of a stack on a petal puts a desirable pattern. .
More difficult way consists in gluing of petals. Extend the usual socket, then with okovki a profile board remove metal on 2-3 mm in that place where there will be a petal. From the neoforged party remove as much a tree. The turned out template mark a place for 1-2 petals. Pair of petals cut out from the turned out model of the socket to take off from their the glutinous uniform. The necessary quantity of petals cast by means of the turned out form and attach on noted place.
It is possible to use the second template for manufacturing of petals or other details of an ornament. From them as the form acts in film, casting of demanded quantity of copies which fasten on preliminary extended socket is made. .
It is simple enough to make vytjagivanie an ellipse (fig. 31). For this purpose from points And and the ellipse model Would be extended by a template attached to long radiusnoj rejke, and from points In and G - the same template attached to short radiusnoj rejke.
a Fig. 31. Vytjagivanie an ellipse.
If in an ornament a beads and peas are used ( a Fig. 32 ), to receive demanded details is possible in two ways. More simple way is especially convenient at peas manufacturing. For this purpose it is necessary to roll hands from clay some equal balls of the necessary size, to take off from their the uniform and to cast from plaster so much peas, how many it is used in a pattern.
a Fig. 32. Ornaments with use of peas and a beads
More difficult way allows to receive various beads and will not cause difficulties in those who has already seized elements vytjagivanija models from plaster. At template manufacturing on it it is necessary to cut out not only a bead profile, but also a plate profile on which this bead is. Vytjagivanie make all in 2 layers for ease of processing of a product tools, using a dense plaster solution.
On ready draught of model of beads and peas cut out, using a semicircular chisel ( fig. 33 ). The received model after zachistki a small skin cover shellakovym with a varnish. For manufacturing of a beads with a repeating detail enough one model, for peas - two-three.
a Fig. 33. A beads :
And - a template for vytjagivanija beads; - it is sharp beads from plaster; 1 - a bead profile, 2 - a plate profile

As the website http://www.museeaustralien.com/en/?Events explains, the museum is undergoing renovation and the exhibits have been moved to what I suspect are much reduced premises. It should be finished by the end of the year - which means it will have missed the centenary. There might be a very good reason, but that does seem rather daft.
Anyway, for your 5 euros you get a long walk between mesh barriers, past builders' machines and material, and admission to the hall. Unfortunately, it's very brightly lit and there's much white paintwork, so there were a lot of reflection problems with the showcases. I did my best.
So here are a couple of shots of the 1/12.5 model of Mephisto, made by two local men, and the best that reflections would allow. Your fee also includes an A4 tri-fold leaflet, black on sort-of-mint-green, that contains a good deal of info about the tank, and three badly underexposed photographs of the model, one of which shows her with the armour removed. Whether that is a separate model I don't know - it might be that there are several but only two are on show because of the restricted room.
There's also a quite decent diorama of the battle, virtually impossible to photograph from above but I managed to get some through the sides. Sample enclosed, more if there is public demand.
There is also a collection of photos and artefacts, including the recently discovered collection of glass plates showing portraits of Australian troops stationed in the village.
Sorry to sound so negative, but I think the place has suffered by being moved into the temporary premises. It's a view that is pretty much reflected on Tripadvisor. One assumes things will be a lot better when the refurb is completed.
* Just noticed the tanks in the dio appear to be Mk V. So what battle is it? Hamel?
"Sometimes things that are not true are included in Wikipedia. While at first glance that may appear like a very great problem for Wikipedia, in reality is it not. In fact, it's a good thing." - Wikipedia.
It crossed my mind that I should measure the dio, but I forgot. Maybe you can get some idea from the long shots of the museum and the relative close-ups. The scale does seem about right, but I really struggled with the reflections and couldn't get a decent aerial view. You can see how the strip lights are high up and above the showcases. Anyway, here goes with the usable ones from a bad bunch. There might be better views on the Internet. Sorry.
Oops. Sorry, duplicated picture. Pic 4 is the old museum, and pic 5 is the current, temporary one.

Skanska Sells Romanian Office Asset
- By
- May 09, 2018
Skanska has sold Campus 6.1, an office building in Bucharest, Romania, to CA Immo for SEK 530 million, or around $60 million. The transfer is scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will be recorded by Skanska Commercial Development Europe in the second quarter.
Campus 6.1 is the first development phase of a four-building office complex, Campus 6. The property is located in the Central West section of Bucharest, marking the company's first project in the submarket and the second one in Bucharest overall. The asset will be completed by the third quarter of 2018 and is almost completely leased. Comprising 243,264 square feet, the Campus 6.1 building features 11 floors above ground and two stories of underground parking. Tenants will have access to a restaurant, a cafeteria, terraces, co-working green spaces, bicycle rental, showers, lockers, e-car facilities and Wi-Fi. The asset will be equipped with an intelligent building management system that will feature an IT Hub in the lobby, dashboard showcasing energy consumption and a virtual reception area.
"Having acquired Millennium Towers in Budapest in 2016 and Spire Building B in Warsaw in 2017, we continue to pursue our target of continuous development and expansion of our CEE core market portfolios with the purchase of Campus 6.1 in Bucharest," said Andreas Quint, CEO of CA Immo, in a prepared statement. "The multi-tenant property is very well located and will be nearly fully let by takeover, clearly supporting our overall financial goals."
Skanska has been busy with its international developments. Last month, the company unveiled plans to develop a production and storage facility in Gliwice, Poland, on behalf of Johnson Matthey. That project will also be included in the European order bookings for the second quarter.

What should I write about? Will I have enough content? I don't really like being photographed so how do I make my instagram feed interesting. Why do all these bloggers or vloggers have such nicely done blogs and social media channels? Argghhhhh….!!!
This went on for months and then I decided if I don't start somewhere NOW, I won't get ANYTHING done. The key to content success online is you've got to start doing.
So WHAT should you write about?
What do you like to talk to about that gets you excited no matter what? Think about what you read about everyday. Is it about your health? Money? Business? Technology? Travel? Food? Furniture? Makeovers? Celebrities?
Now think about WHY you want to share what you know with the world. Tell the story where you are right now. Make your story "Live". In the moment and genuine.
You might be a passionate about lots of things. I love travel and reading and films and animals and business and technology and coffee and art but I can't be writing about everything so for this blog I'm focusing on business and primarily in marketing. At this moment in time, I breathe and live marketing. It could change in the future. It's OK. As we grow older, our interests sometimes change.
I've been in my own business since 2008 and in the beginning I met people who were like me. Exploring their options, thinking whether leaving the rat race was really a good idea. Then I started meeting people who have been in business for decades and are loving what they do and making an impact they personally can make for the people around them. Then as my business grew, I continued attending events, conferences, seminars, networking sessions. I met people who were just thinking about starting out.
Being the animated person that I am, I gush about how awesome it is to run a business of your own. Then I also tell them it's not an easy path to take but it's fulfilling. Then they get excited and say they can't wait to start their own business too but don't know what sort of business they should be in. Then I say, it's ok. Do what you love. Be in a business you know best about. For now. Once you're more established, you can hire people who know certain things more than you and diversify.
Then I meet them a few years down the road, still attending some of the "Entrepreneur" events and seminars. Still getting excited meeting and learning from the speakers. The thing is, their business still hasn't started. They're still doing their research. Still perfecting the business plan or still waiting for investors or the perfect website or the perfect strategy. They're still WAITING. Why? Start NOW!
Where do people find you? It's so much easier now. When I just started out, blogging was something relatively new. Those who started blogs in the 2000s are masters at it by now. I wrote on and off so this actually affects my blog ranking in a negative way. Once you start, you shouldn't stop. That's why we have calenders to help us keep track. Blogging still works wonders but not everyone likes writing or reading.
For those who aren't fans of writing you can use Audio such as podcasts or a radio show to deliver your content.
For those who aren't as shy as me, there is Video such as YouTube, Facebook Live, Instagram Live and SnapChat.
This is the tricky part. How do people find you if no one knows you. Well not counting your friends and business communities (which you should be part of, by the way). How did you find me? Instagram? Twitter? LinkedIn?
I don't believe in placing ads so fast but I know it really helps get faster results. With ads you can target a specific audience by age, geography, likes, and more.
It's easier if you have a physical product that you can give away as samples. Find up and coming influencers that are currently influencing the type of followers you want and send them a Direct Message telling them your offer. They might not take up your offer or if they do, they might not tag you when they try your product but that's ok. You could always ask for feedback. Asking for feedback is market research for you. That's a win. Build the relationship first.
I just started my Instagram account @just_hanniz and started posting last week. I'm nowhere near my favourite mentors with their millions of followers but I'm grateful to be able to share what I have with those who are just discovering me. Not all my followers are local (most are from the US) but those that are, I offer my time and whatever insight face to face when I can.
I hope to do videos or at least podcasts soon.
What if you, like me, don't have a physical product to giveaway? Well, we'll have to start with helping others. Retweet, requote, take photos of products your favourite influencers are featuring. It took years for them to be where they are today. It will take time for us as well.
This is something I'm learning to do too.
If you can be in the top posts for a certain #hashtag each day, you are going to win. #win #marketing #startnow
We need to start posting stuff EVERYDAY. So that shall be my new goal. Are you with me? (Keep me updated on your progress in the comments below)
It's no use having millions of fans or likes or followers if only a handful engage with you. When people comment on your post, REPLY no matter how busy you are. (Btw, being busy all the time is so yesterday). Create friendships, talk to them, ask them how they are. They are people like you and me. Don't limit yourself to online communites. Get out there and join or build communities in your neighbourhood. It doesn't matter if only five people turn up. It's a start.
I noticed that when I write more in my Instagram posts, I get more engagement. So I don't just post Quotes, I also post tips or teasers about what I write here on my blog. Also, comment on others' posts. It's not always about you.
Just today after sharing an excerpt from my post from yesterday, I got 29 visits to my blog. From NOTHING! From 0! It's a super feeling! Now I'm motivated to be more consistent. I know it will take some time to be anywhere near where I want to be but I have a feeling I'll be enjoying this journey. Let's START together NOW!

New Men "Custom Tailoring" is a unique program that gives an opportunity to create your own suit.
The customer selects a form from a wide range of models, chooses the type of fabric and accessories.
To order a made-to-measure suit the team of our store in Poland or the cooperating salon abroad measure
a customer using the standard models of New Men. Then the most suitable model is being chosen and applied
with adjustments according to the client's meauserements.
New Men "Custom Tailoring" program lets the client participate in the creating
of his wear starting with an appropriate model, continuing with choosing
of fabric till the composing of all the accessories.
Another advantage of this program is the ability to try on and see the ready-to-wear
product from the collection in different size, and then suit it to the figure.
We sew only from our fabrics which come from reputable factories
from all over the world, e.g Italy, France, Portugal, Turkey, Spain.
There is also the possibility of bespoke tailoring, which requires a one person's engagement in the whole process
of creating a suit. This service is available only in the New Men Headquarters in Kraków, ul. Przewóz 2, because
a client has to come severel times: the first one to be measured and the others to try one the forming suit
till it's completely ready. The tailoring of one suit could take up even several weeks.
The draft of the suit, which was created once exclusively for the particular customer, remains in our computer database.
This gives the customer an opportunity to re-order bespoke suit at any time, without necessity of arrival to the company
(unless he has got too fat/slim, trained a lot, or anyhow changed his body noticeably)

From TidBITS, long-time Mac gurus:
It's common advice to wait for the X.Y.1 release of a new version of OS X before upgrading, since Apple often fixes bugs that crop up at launch quickly. OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite has been out for a bit now, though, and while it's working fine for many people, there are still a variety of complaints making the rounds on the Internet (for what was fixed, see "Apple Releases OS X 10.10.1, iOS 8.1.1, and Apple TV 7.0.2," 17 November 2014). Here then is a collection of five problems and solutions (or at least workarounds) that we've either experienced or had reported to us.

Pea, feta and mint tart
Serves 8 | prep 30 mins | total time
Pea, feta and mint tartSubscribe to Sainsbury's magazine
Serves 8 | prep 30 mins | total time
Nutritional information (per serving)
For the pastry
- 225g plain flour, plus extra to dust
- 125g cold unsalted butter, diced
- 25g Pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
For the filling
- 15g butter
- 3 large spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 300g frozen peas
- 200ml full-fat crème fraîche
- 100ml double cream
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 x 28g pack mint, leaves picked
- 150g feta cheese, crumbled
Step by step
Get ahead
The pastry case can be baked the day before.
- For the pastry, put the flour, butter and ½ teaspoon salt into a food processor and whiz until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs, or rub together by hand in a bowl. Add the Pecorino cheese and chopped thyme, then add 2-2½ tablespoons ice-cold water. Mix briefly until the pastry comes together into a ball.
- Thinly roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23cm (measured across the base) x 3.5cm deep loose-bottomed flan tin. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 20 minutes.
- Put a large baking sheet into the oven and preheat it to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Line the pastry case with baking paper and a thin layer of baking beans and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges of the pastry are biscuit coloured. Remove the paper and beans and return the pastry case to the oven for 7-8 minutes until the base is golden brown. Remove and set to one side. Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5.
- For the filling, melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the spring onions, season lightly and cook for a couple of minutes until they soften. Leave to cool slightly.
- Put the peas into a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Leave for 2 minutes, until they have thawed, then drain, rinse in cold water, and dry well on a clean tea towel.
- Mix the crème fraîche, double cream and eggs together in a bowl with some salt and pepper to taste. Reserve a few small mint leaves and 1 tablespoon of the peas for garnish, then shred the rest of the mint and stir into the egg mixture with the rest of the peas, the spring onions, crumbled feta and some seasoning to taste.
- Pour the mixture into the tart case and cook for about 30-35 minutes until just set and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving, with the reserved peas and mint sprigs scattered on top.

Space for life is the union of four interdependent locations with one common mission "Guide humans to better experience nature". The Biodôme, Insectarium, Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium and Botanical Garden all aim to make biodiversity known in a creative and innovative way. These sites are all located around the Olympic stadium of Montreal, making for a beautiful day of nearby activities.
Hotel Le Roberval is located a few minutes by metro on the green line of the Olympic village.
The biodôme introduces you to five ecosystems of the America's by taking you through the fauna and flora of various regions. From the Sub-Antarctic islands to the tropical forest, you will discover origins of several species without having to leave Montreal. Several exhibitions are offered, including Springtime Awakening and Penguin Feeding Time. On Wednesdays and Fridays, you can assist experienced divers in cleaning up the aquarium while Tuesday to Sunday you can see the new cylindrical aquarium housing the typical fauna of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Note that the Biodôme is closed on Mondays except for certain exceptions!
The Insectarium, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2015, encompasses a multitude of naturalized or living insect species. There are currently two exhibits going on, We Are the Insects and Atta Ants. A play area is also available for children from 1 to 12 years old to introduce them to the insects of our home.
The Planetarium, created as part of Expo 67 in Montreal, was rebuilt on the site of Space for Life in 2013. These two circular theaters now offer an immersive vision of science. They focus on using new technologies to introduce astronomy to all the young and old people out there.
It is now possible to see these following shows: One Day on Mars, We Are Stars, Mira, The Little Star and Asteroids: Extreme Mission.
Botanical Garden
The Montreal Botanical Garden is recognized worldwide. Not only by its impressive collection of 22,000 species and cultivars, but its ten greenhouses, its Tree House and its thematic gardens. This month you can see the flowering of begonias, bromeliads, cacti, gesneriads, Hydrangeas, orchids, penjings, alpine plants and tulips.

The "XL741" Discrete Operational Amplifier kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a faithful and functional transistor-scale replica of the μA741 op-amp integrated circuit, the classic and ubiquitous analog workhorse.
An Operational Amplifier, or "op-amp" as they are commonly known, is one of the most useful and common types of analog electronic circuit building blocks and the XL741 kit was designed by Eric Schlaepfer, in collaboration with Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is lovingly designed to resemble one.
The XL741 kit is sold as an easy-to-build soldering kit. It includes the circuit board, resistors, transistors and capacitor that make up the electrical circuit as well as printed assembly instructions. The kit also comes complete with the "IC Leg" stand, and 8 color coded thumbscrew terminal posts.
Basic electronic soldering skills are required, but no additional knowledge of electronics is presumed or required and it should take about an hour to build.
The XL741 circuit is a direct implementation of the "equivalent circuit" from the original Fairchild μA741 datasheet. It comes with terminal posts and solder points so that you can actually connect to it and build up classic and functional op-amp circuits.
There's much more info including instructions and documentation on their site.
Technical details
- Datasheet
- PCB: 133mm x 80mm x 2.5mm / 5.2" x 3.2" x 0.1"

|Relationships between spatial configuration of tropical forest patches and diversity of woody plants and soil millipedes in northeastern Puerto Rico
|Publication Type
|Year of Publication
|Galanes-Rivera, IT
|Number of Pages
|University of Puerto Rico
|Rio Piedras
|Accession Number
A primary goal of landscape ecology is to reveal the relationships between ecological processes and landscape patterns. Landscape patterns may control the ecological processes that shape species diversity and composition. However, there are few studies about how the species diversity of plants and soil millipedes vary with different parameters of landscape structure, especially in tropical habitats. Moreover, there is very little information about the effects of landscape variables on soil biota, such as millipedes, and the relationships between millipede diversity and plant diversity is poorly known, even though millipedes play an essential role in litter decomposition and plant nutrient cycling. Woody plants and soil millipedes were sampled systematically from 12 forest patches (24-34 years old), surrounded by a matrix of mixed urban use and pasture, in northeastern Puerto Rico. Patch spatial characteristics were obtained from aerial color photographs from year 2000 that were digitized into a GIS package. Woody plant species diversity and composition were related mostly to the forest patch attributes such as area and shape, while soil millipede species diversity and composition were related to the forest patch surroundings (e.g. vegetation corridors, patch isolation, and amount of forest in the matrix). Thus, soil millipede and plant species diversity and composition responded to different aspects of the landscape structure, probably due to their different operational scales (e.g. mode of dispersal, habitat discrimination). The species composition of both groups of organisms correlated with the distance to the Luquillo Experimental Forest, and there was more similarity in woody plant and millipede species composition among more closely spaced forest patches. A linear regression analysis showed that there was no correlation between species diversity of woody plants and soil millipedes in each forest patch. There was also no relationship between the species composition of woody plants and soil millipedes in a patch; indicating that soil millipedes are not specialist feeders on woody plant leaf litter. These findings show the importance of considering spatial relationships on a landscape scale when developing biodiversity theories and for the conservation and management of species diversity as well as land use planning, especially in areas of urban development.
