Wire is seeking artists of all mediums, but especially visual artists and visual media artists, for an upcoming collaborative group exhibition, Wire Arts Experiment, vol. 2, to take place in the historic building, Hackesche Höfe, in Berlin Mitte.
Deadline: 29 Oct 2015
The exhibition concept of Wire Arts Experiment, vol. 2 is PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. Artists are invited to submit their work in relation to an open and free interpretation of this concept. We are particularly interested in pieces addressing emotive, communicative, digital, and technological notions of PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
The exhibition opening is scheduled to take place the 19th of November, with a submission deadline of Thursday the 29th of October. In addition to the party, a virtual exhibit will run simultaneously on Wire.
Artists are asked to submit 3 images of their pieces in JPG format, as well as a one paragraph explanation of the concept as it relates to the theme of PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. The final selection will be made by a committee consisting of three Wire team members, one representative from ArtConnect, and one member of the Berlin art community.
Chosen artists will exhibit their work to an international audience of artists and professionals from the tech and start up communities. All works can be sold, at no commission.
Wire is a Berlin based start-up, building a simple tool to communicate with text, voice, pictures and media — all beautifully woven together for modern devices. Our development center is in the heart of Berlin – Hackesche Höfe – and our employees are fun, down to earth, and bubbling with fresh ideas.
For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Riot Art is looking for artists. Whether you're a photographer, painter, performer or sculptor, we are looking for cool emerging artists to feature on our online gallery.
Deadline: 30 Sept 2015

What will Jehoovah Witnesses do when many R&S atheists begin to ask them for money?
Jesus commands that they give to anyone who asks them:
"Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." -- Matthew 5:42
They will be forced to disobey Jesus, or leave R&S, or face financial ruin!

When giving such aid, whether to fellow Christians or to unbelievers, we are under no Scriptural obligation to give to a lazy person who seeks to take selfish advantage of his Christian generosity.
There are hordes of professional paupers who are known to use every art of deception so as to appear needy and to stimulate sympathy for themselves.
Also (Brian) we have lot's of Brothers and Sisters that are rich, I'm not rich but in my Congregation we have a few that are.

With AirAsia offering the Kuala Lumpur-Kaohsiung route 3x weekly with direct flights, the world, especially Malaysia, now seems closer to the southern-western Taiwan region that is home to Kaohsiung, Chiayi and Tainan. In the previous post, we have shared a quick guide on how to do Kaohsiung in a limited time. But this time around, we slowed down our pace and expanded our reach to discover more interesting places in two latter municipalities.
Long Yun Leisure Farm
Travellers get to experience refreshing sceneries and activities facilitated by Long Yun's pristine natural surroundings. Mornings start with a walk in the woods to familiarise with the herbs that grow in the wild. It would then be followed by a bamboo craft-making class. Travellers who are big fans of mochi (pounded sticky rice) should try their hands on making this delicious chewy snack themselves. Travellers can also help themselves to another traditional Taiwanese tasty treat, Awkeotsang Jelly, made from Aiyu seeds served with honey or fruity syrup in various flavours. Evenings at the leisure farm are relaxing and sociable, with farm workers and guests chatting with each other after a long day. The days in Long Yun Leisure Farm feel luxuriously extended and unhurried. There is also a Muslim-friendly restaurant available.
Website: http://www.long-yun.com.tw
Recommended for: Those who seek space, serenity and solitude.
It costs NT$6,500 per night if traveller intend to spend the night here
Fenchihu Train Station
Hop onto the train to enjoy scenic train ride using the Alishan Forest Railway, built by the Japanese at the end of the 19th century to transport logs down the mountain from the dense cypress forests, and now one of only three remaining mountain railways in the world. There is also a locomotive museum here housing early steam locomotive and old memorabilia to transport visitors back to the past through a time tunnel.
Cypress Forestry Life Village (Hinoki Village)
Travellers are advised to walk here from Peimen Station, which is the last stop for Alishan Forest Railway. Hinoki Village used to be a dormitory for labourers of the Alishan Forest Railway. Today, this village – which spans over three hectares – is home to the nation's largest remaining cluster of cypress-wood buildings that house quirky souvenir shops, mini galleria and art workshops – a charming sight for those who value Japanese traditional architecture. Since it exudes a hip atmosphere that swoon young hearts, Hinoki Village is a local and international tourist magnet. Children come here after school for a quick popsicle treat under the scorching hot sun and couples take a stroll during windy days along pretty roads. Despite the huge flocks of tourists, Hinoki Village somehow manages to keep its personal character intact. Interestingly, this village used to be a filming location for an award-winning Taiwanese film, Kano, a story about a multiracial baseball team during Japanese occupation. Fans and non-fans alike can now watch the movie and learn about it in a special galleria, built to commemorate the film.
Operating Hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Old Tait & Co Merchant House
This white-washed house is known today for its grand colonial style architecture that remain in Taiwan. It has a main stairway in the centre and an arcade adorned with green glazed ceramic decorations, a Chinese element that is cleverly infused with western style. In 1981, the government transformed the house into 'Taiwan Reclamation of History Wax Museum'.
Operating Hours: Opens every day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Entrance Fee: NT$ 50 per adult
The ticket to the Old Tait & Co Merchant House also grants entrance to the Anping Tree house located just behind the merchant house, a place where visitors can awe the sight of a huge house become overwhelmed by the trunks and vines of a majestic banyan tree due to lengthy abandonment.
Anping Old Fort (originally called Fort Zeelandia)
The fort was built in 1624 by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during Dutch colonisation of Taiwan. It acted as the main trading hub in East Asia at that time due to its strategic location. Ships departed from here would head north to Japan, west to Fujian, or south to Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Iran or Europe. However, in 1661, Koxinga of Ming Dynasty laid siege to the fortress with 400 warships and 25,000 men. It was a dead end for the Dutch. Fresh water ran short and the Dutch started to lose people. Thus, on 1 February 1662, the Koxinga-Dutch Treaty was made between Koxinga and Frederick Coyett (the then Dutch governor) that allowed the Dutch to withdraw without harm as long as they surrendered the fort and left all VOC's goods behind. Fort Zeelandia was then reconstructed and given a new name, Anping Fort.
Operating Hours: Open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Entrance fee: NT$50 per adult
Ten Drum Culture Village
Located at Tainan's outskirts is perhaps the most fascinating attraction in the municipality. It is the first drum-themed international art village in Asia managed by the Grammy-nominated Ten Drum Art Percussion Group. The place serves as a platform to showcase Ten Drum's creations while preserving the history of the venue, which was the former Rende Sugar Refinery. Today, all 16 warehouses are transformed into fully functioning spaces including an introduction hall, a drum museum, a drumming experience room, a Ten Drum Restaurant, a mini-theatre, outdoor theatres and a cafe. Travellers who are keen to learn some basic drumming skills can do so here. We had fun watching the world-class performance by the members of Ten Drum Art Percussion Group. There are lighting and dry-ice effects across the stage when the members perform the energetic routines. It is said that Ten Drum performers must be capable of striking 150 to 180 beats per minute for several minutes at a time – that's insane!
Operating Hours: Opens daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Entrance Fee: NT$ 300 per adult

Where we stay
Besides offering comfortable rooms, these hotels also serve halal-certified menu for the convenience of Muslim travellers:
Gaya Travel Magazine extends our heartfelt gratitude to Taiwan Tourism Bureau and AirAsia for making the writer's trip to Kaohsiung, Chiayi and Tainan possible.

China has invested $100 billion in a "grain-for-green" program where traditional farmers are paid to plant forests on lands that had been stripped of trees. By some measures, the program has been a great success. What's the problem?
Michael Holtz of the Christian Scientist Monitor writes:
Chairman Mao told us to make steel," Mr. Zhang recalls, "so we cut down all the trees on the mountains." Backyard kilns took their place.
He continues,
A turning point came in 1998, when devastating floods along the Yangtze River in central China killed 4,150 people and caused an estimated $36 billion in property damage. The disaster was exacerbated by the shortage of trees along the river, which in the past had secured its banks and absorbed rainfall. From the 1950s into 1980s, the Yangtze River basin lost half of its forest coverage, causing severe soil erosion in 40 percent of the region.
The program has met its two chief objectives, soil retention and flood mitigation. The tree cover in China has been growing as the tree cover in the rest of the world has declined. China is an example of what to do right, and the alarming long-term damage that can occur by doing what is right in the wrong way. Read more....

Charlie Sheen apparently not concerned with Alec Baldwin's opinion
HollywoodNews.com: Recently, Alec Baldwin commented on the Charlie Sheen situation and told him to "sober up," but it sounds like Sheen doesn't care what the other actor has to say.
The 'Two and a Half Men' actor reportedly has no interest in Baldwin's comments as he apparently feels they are coming out of nowhere, states PopEater. Sheen is reportedly a bit offended that he went to the press to say this when Sheen kept quiet during Baldwin's voicemail drama with his daughter.
And, as it probably doesn't surprise anyone, Sheen reportedly has no plans to take someone else's advice. The actor allegedly just thinks that Baldwin needs to stay out of his business.
Do you think Alec Baldwin's comments were unnecessary?

Statham in Killer Elite
Jason Statham is continuing with his action films, although he's stepping into the world of true stories again with The Killer Elite, a story written by Ranulph Fiennes called The Feathermen and based on the real life events.
The story is a superb one, and one you may not have heard of but promises high intrigue and covert assassins, and it actually happened.
The story tells of a group called The Feathermen (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com) who are tasked with protecting ex-members of Britain's SAS, a group that is alleged to have been founded by the founder of the SAS themselves, Colonel David Stirling.
They suddenly become aware of a secret group of assassins called The Clinic, so called because their jobs are carried out with meticulous planning and efficiency and attention to detail, and they've been given a job of finding and assassinating a number of ex-SAS members.
So the Feathermen are set to protect them.
The story has a feel of something similar to Munich (Filmstalker review), although I haven't red the book, it does sound like it could play in a similar vein.
I do hope that they don't treat this with disrespect though, A Ranulph Fiennes novel about the SAS is indeed covering two very well respected facets of British history, Fiennes his highly regarded and the SAS have a strong and hugely respected history, and still do to this day.
Gary McKendry is set to direct The Killer Elite, according to the story he's a commercials director and the film is gaining a US $40 million budget to become an action thriller. McKendry already wrote and directed a short called Everything in This Country Must about two soldiers in Northern Ireland who accidentally hit a woman and her son. Two years later they come across a man stuck in a river with his horse, however he seems very reluctant to accept their help.
What does strike me as odd about the story from Variety is that Jason Statham will be playing a former Navy Seal who is forced out of retirement to save his best friend. So what side does he lie on, and he's playing an American who looks like he comes to save the day?
First up I thought Statham would have been better suited on the side of the SAS or The Feathermen, and secondly I do hope they aren't doing an "America saves all" rewrite of an historical story again, something we're becoming rather too familiar with.

GCC warns against 'serious consequences' of US move, denounces Israeli actions in Gaza
LONDON - Setting aside their differences, the six nations that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) collectively condemned Israel's targeting of unarmed Palestinian protesters and the United States' relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem, which sparked the latest round of violence.
GCC members reiterated their condemnation during an emergency Arab League meeting on May 17 chaired by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir.
"We are meeting today in the backdrop of the recent developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, targeting Palestinian civilians by the occupation forces and the transfer of US embassy to Jerusalem," said Jubeir.
"The kingdom has already warned of the serious consequences of this unjustified step as it offends the feelings of Muslims around the world," he said, adding that the kingdom would help the Palestinian people until they establish their own independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital
UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash expressed similar sentiments, warning of the dangerous consequences of the US decision.
"While we express our strong condemnation of using the excessive force by the Israeli occupation against unarmed Palestinians who exercise their right and demand their legitimate rights, we warn against the negative repercussions of such a dangerous escalation and we call for an international probe to hold those responsible for this massacre accountable," said Gargash, adding that the US move had presented more obstacles to the peace process.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been protesting for seven weeks as part of the Great March of Return campaign and in anticipation of the US's relocation of its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. On May 14, the day the US opened its new embassy in Jerusalem, Israeli forces killed at least 60 unarmed Palestinian protesters gathered near the Gaza border.
In response, officials from the UAE, the Palestinian territories and Kuwait requested an emergency session at the UN Security Council, and UN human rights chief Zeid al-Hussein backed calls for inquiry over the deaths in Gaza.
Saudi Arabia's cabinet denounced the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and the killing of the dozens of protesters by Israeli authorities.
"Saudi Arabia strongly condemns the targeting of unarmed civilians by the forces of Israeli occupation, leaving dozens dead and injured," said a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
"The international community must shoulder its responsibilities to stop violence and protect the brotherly Palestinian people," the statement added.
Bahrain's Shura Council also condemned Israel's response, calling authorities' use of force "unjustified and excessive."
Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Thani also spoke out against the events in Gaza.
Oman issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza, while also calling for "the Palestinian people to establish an independent state" along the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital, according to Oman Daily website.
Kuwait, through its UN representative, called on the international community to recognise an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital during the emergency UN Security Council meeting.
"We are concerned about policies, measures and actions taken unilaterally by Israel, the occupying power, which aims at changing the reality on the occupied territory, topped with the continuation and the expansion of settlement activities which are illegal measures and constitute a flagrant violation of Security Council resolutions and international law, mainly resolution 2334," Kuwait's ambassador to the UN, Mansour al-Otaibi, said.
The latest series of events is a major setback for the peace process, especially the Arab peace initiative, the brainchild of the late Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who unveiled the plan while crown prince in 2002.
The initiative calls for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the normalisation of ties between 57 Arab and Islamic countries and Israel. The plan is predicated on Israel withdrawing from Arab lands occupied during the 1967 war, as well as a just settlement to the Palestinian refugee issue based on UN General Assembly Resolution 194.

Crystal Lake, ILHome Menu
The Historic Preservation Commission is a group of dedicated volunteers that have an interest in historic preservation and a deep sense of pride in the history of Crystal Lake. The Commission meets the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM.
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) hears requests for landmark status, certificates of appropriateness, and grants. Additionally, the Commission plans and participates in many historic events and presents the Annual Heritage Tour.
Annual Heritage Tour
Each year a new tour is created, highlighting a section of the City or time period in the City's history. Tickets are sold to the community and frequently sold out. Funds raised from the tour are used to provide matching grants. Additional information regarding the Annual Heritage Tour can be found here.
Landmark Program
The landmark program is an excellent way to preserve the history of Crystal Lake and your home. The City's landmark program bestows legal protection to a property for the purpose of preserving its public character and history. A land-marked property is recognized as a public asset that enriches the community of Crystal Lake by virtue of its architecture and/or the people and events associated with it.
The Commission acts on behalf of the community and works to ensure the integrity of a land-marked property is not destroyed by demolition, inappropriate changes, or neglect. Landmark status preserves the exterior facade of your home or business.
Landmark Program Application Process
The Landmark Program Application Process requires working with staff and HPC members to research your property's history. After receiving landmark status, you are eligible for grant funding. Land-marked properties receive a commemorative plaque, purchased by the commission, for public display.
Property Renovations, Alterations, and Additions
Landmark status does not limit your enjoyment and use of your property. The Commission has created a guide outlining appropriate changes that can be made to properties.
Any changes to a plaqued property require submittal and approval by the commission of a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Certificate of Appropriateness submittal requires details of the proposed work and any cost estimates. These cost estimates are also used to apply for the grant funding.
Matching Grant
The Historic Preservation Commission financially supports local history by dedicating the majority of money earned from fund raising to financial assistance for land-marked properties. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant up to $500 biannually for qualifying projects. The grant application requires approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness, all cost estimates and details about the proposed work including photographs.
One requirement of the grant program is to have an approved Certificate of Appropriateness. The form is available here. The Commission will approve or deny the request. Grant funds are not approved and disbursed until the completion of the work and all supporting documentation (final payment receipt and photographs) have been submitted to the commission.

SUMMER holidays are coming to an end and the reality of a new year is starting to set in. For many that reality means ongoing financial stress causing emotional and relationship pressure.
DETAILS: What you need to know to save a bundle on credit cards
The answer isn't a batch of trite financial resolutions; it's a change in behaviours. Money doesn't buy happiness but it can certainly help. And the key is building healthy financial habits.
So have a look through some of our top 22 financial thought starters to help begin the process to a new financial you.
1. Create a financial plan and spend some time each week developing and reviewing that plan to make it happen. With every financial transaction, top of mind should be "how does this fit in with my financial goals?"
2. Take five minutes to review your main accounts online each day. Make certain that all charges are accurate and review any purchases you may regret later.
3. Every week, review all transactions to help maintain financial goals.
4. Review accounts monthly to make sure all bills are paid on time. If the funds aren't there then call the institution to alert them of an expected payment date or work out a payment plan.
5. When creating an annual financial plan, create quarterly milestones that benchmark progress. For example, if the plan is to pay off $10,000 from the mortgage in 12 months then by month three, you should have $2500 paid off. If that doesn't happen then readjust the plan, move the goal or play catch up.
6. Set your finances on autopilot. Set up every recurring expense using BPay or via direct debit.
7. Create a goal statement: My intention is to ________________ in order to achieve financial freedom.
8. Save 10 per cent of income every payday. Make it an automated transfer into a separate investment account.
9. Pay down non-mortgage debt to less than 15 per cent of income
10. Read, listen or watch the financial media to keep abreast of emerging financial issues that impact your life.
11. Be mindful of emotional impulse spending. Shopping when you're sad, mad or depressed often leads to purchases you'll regret later.
12. Spend more time with those who are where you want to be financially. It helps you compare how you operate while helping you make changes along the way.
13. Everyday, day dream and feel what it will be like when you reach your financial goals: debt free, 6-12 months of emergency fund savings-whatever it is-dream about it, talk about it, write about it and make it happen.
14. Give back. This can be with your time or money. Spend time giving back to others less fortunate than yourself to maintain a balanced life with a good sense of priorities.
15. De-clutter your finances. What are some things that you're paying for (magazine subscriptions, extra trips to the makeup counter, techie gadget impulse buys) that leech money you really need to hit your financial goals.
16. Don't stress about the past. Leave financial regrets behind as they took place in order to teach you lessons for the future. The coming year won't be perfect, but commit to learning from mistakes to avoid making them again.
17. Don't compare your financial situation to others who are in a better position. Like you they had to work to get where they are and if you take anything from their situation, it should be you can one day be financially free yourself.
18. Make some hard decisions about your spending habits. The more insight you have into this area, the better decisions you'll make.
19. Find ways to earn more money. Developing multiple streams of income is key to financial freedom. Things like a part time job or a home based business.
20. Sell anything you haven't touched in 6-8 months and use the proceeds to pay down debt or plug into savings.
21. Discuss your financial plans for the coming year with your partner or spouse. Make sure you are both on board with goals and how you will address setbacks. (see my couples goal session on this page).
22. Give children gifts that will last long past the next birthday. Create, or add money, to an education fund.
It's a game, it must be fun, it is best done without interruptions and it will take up to two hours.
So take the phone off the hook, put the kids to bed, clear off two horizontal surfaces (preferably not too close) and gather lots of blank paper and coloured pens/pencils.
Individually answer these questions and write the results down under three headings: —
What do you NEED in the: -
. next 12 months
. next five years
. when I retire
What do I WANT in the: -
. next 12 months
. next five years
. when I retire
It helps if you have planned for this exercise and given it some thought.
Don't hold back on what you want. Better to let your partner know now that you've always wanted a rural cottage, with chooks and a couple of horses, before they get too settled in that inner-city terrace you are currently renting!
This is your ultimate wish list. It's what life is all about … making it worthwhile.
'Needs' are necessities. Things like rent or home mortgage payments, food, council rates, electricity and gas … you get the drift.
'Wants' are dreams and the little extras. Things like dining out, entertainment, holidays, car … this list should only be limited by your expectations and goals. Remember now is the time to disclose those burning ambitions and secret purchasable desires.
Prioritise your 'wants' lists, with number one being what you want most and 100 being what you will most probably do without.
Then it's show and tell time.
SCHOOL DAYS: Beat the cash crunch as the kids go back to class
Surprise, surprise! Shock horror? Or were you both on the same track? Sharing the 'want' lists is usually the eye-opener. It's highly likely there will be some surprises there.
So now discuss your wants. Discuss, but take care not to be judgmental of your partner's ideas. This is not the time to ridicule any idea.
These lists will form part of your budgeting and, like all good budgets, they are not written in stone. They will be reviewed at very regular intervals and can be changed as your wants and needs change.

March 22, 2016
We are pleased to announce that Box UK has been named as a global leader in people management practices, having been shortlisted in the third annual Investors in People (IIP) Awards. The awards programme, which this year received over 340 entries internationally, celebrates those IIP-accredited organisations that have achieved the highest standards in people management; focusing on the main elements of what it means to be an Investor in People, from reward and recognition to social responsibility.
Having received IIP Silver accreditation in 2014, Box UK was selected as a finalist in the category of 'Excellence in Leadership and Management (under 249 employees)' after demonstrating exceptional investment in its people to strengthen leadership capability at every level. This has been achieved through the implementation of a number of initiatives that extend and enhance the leadership function within the organisation, such as improved communication and feedback channels, a formal learning and development programme, and opportunities for both horizontal and vertical career progression.
The web and software development consultancy's commitment to effective leadership was recognised by the judging panel, who commented: "Leaders and managers clearly have created an organisation that is a rewarding place to work in many small and different ways and development is part of this; they have a very engaged workforce".
Speaking in response to the announcement Benno Wasserstein, Managing Director at Box UK said: "It's wonderful that we have been shortlisted in the Excellence in Leadership and Management category of the Investors in People Awards. We know it's the strength of our team that makes us successful, and the personal and career development of our employees is incredibly important to us. Nurturing great leaders is an intrinsic part of this, and having our efforts in this area recognised by an international accreditation body such as IIP is a great reflection of the hard work and dedication the whole team has invested – and continues to invest – in the business."
Paul Devoy, Head of Investors in People, commented: "Once again we have been overwhelmed by the number and calibre of entries received for the Investors in People Awards. It's fantastic to see so many organisations nominated for outperforming in their sector, demonstrating great people management practice and a commitment to staff development."
Investors in People is the Standard for people management. The international people management Standard defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people well for sustainable results. With a community of 14,000 organisations across 75 countries, successful accreditation against the Standard is the sign of a great employer, an outperforming place to work and a clear commitment to sustained success. Based on a tried and tested framework and a rigorous process of assessment, organisations that meet the Investors in People Standard proudly display their accreditation to the world because they understand that it's people that make the difference.
At Box UK our team of simply brilliant thinkers, consultants and application developers mastermind simply brilliant solutions to the world's toughest web and software projects. It's why organisations around the world, from airlines to car manufacturers, international banks to global charities, choose to trust us with the execution of their digital strategies, from the development of enterprise-level custom software platforms to the delivery of award-winning multi-channel experiences.

AI misdescription and real world applications from Asia
In between blogging, from the two events I recommended, let's return to the challenge of AI misdescription. As I shared in my review of Tony Boobier's new book, he calls out the problem of mis-labelled AI. That is analytics or even BI applications being called AI, mainly because it is fashionable. Below, Tony returns as a guest blogger, to not only confirm that this is still the case, but also.. Read More

How to Cut Coir Mats to Size
Coir mats, made of coconut fibres, provide a lining for wire-frame planters and window boxes. Coir is used as a replacement for sphagnum peat moss, as it's more readily available than peat and comes from a renewable resource.
The fibres hold the soil and plants in place, while providing an attractive natural look to the basket. While pre-sized, preformed mats are available, you can also purchase coir matting on small rolls that you cut to size yourself. Sometimes the preformed mats must also be cut to fit into smaller baskets.
Soak the coir mat in warm water for 30 minutes to soften it. Squeeze the excess water from the fibres after soaking.
Push the mat into the basket, shaping it to the contours of the wire frame.
Trim the edges of the coir to the shape of the basket rim, using a pair of shears or a serrated-edged knife. Cut the coir so it overhangs the rim by no more than 1/2 inch. The coir must not sit beneath the rim of the basket.
Cut holes in the side of the coir, through the wire frame, if you want to plant in the sides of the basket. Make these cuts with a serrated-edge knife.
- Some coir mats have a layer of plastic sandwiched between the coir fibres. These cannot be cut to size.
- Cutting through coir can dull shears and knives.

Howdy! It has been 2 years to the day since I started this little Anime Circle for the busy gentleman (and lady). In honor of this milestone, I'll be answering the 50 Question Anime Meme!
Before that, I'd like to give a shout out to Artemis (whom I'm totally copying right now) and Medieval Otaku. Be sure to check out their awesome blogs!
1. Who is your favorite male anime character?
Wow, way to get right to the point. There are a lot of male characters I personally gravitate towards, like Kenji Hirama, Goku, Kenichi Shirahama, but favorite? You know what, I'd have to say Kenshin Himura. I mean, I did write three post about him. Kenshin's goofy and modest, but also secretly powerful. And his story is about redemption. I like that. He works as a nice contrasts to other Shonen protagonists who ultimately just want to be strong. (Also everyone from Cromartie High)
2. Who is your favorite female character?
This is another tricky question, because depending on the type of anime you watch, you could have a multitude of choices. Since this is specifically about anime, I can't say someone like Azula or Toph. I also can't say Tsundere, because that's a trope, not a character. So I'm ganna go with Holo from Spice and Wolf. Unlike a lot of other anime females portrayals, I felt that Holo had more weight to her as a character. Being hundreds of years old, Holo was confident, clever, and kinda sad. She's someone I'd like to have a conversation with.
3. What is your favorite anime soundtrack?
I don't know much about music, and less about Japanese music composers. Gurren Lagann had pretty good music. Ditto Afro Samurai. Guilty Crown was also surprisingly effective in its use of music. But if I had to buy one off Itunes, and remember this is a judgement free zone, I'd go with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. I know, I know. But I already have two of its song ('Fly Away,' 'D City Rock') in my MP3 player.
4. What is your favorite anime opening + animation?
I like a handful. C3's opening is pretty good. The first opening for Maria Holic is fantastic. Cromartie High's opening song is catchy as hell. And Bleach has always had some surprisingly neat opening. But I really like High School of the Dead's opening. It a weird mixture of anime and zombie/horror troupes that mesh together as something amazing. Scary, exploitative, and gory, it tells me everything I need to know about the anime while making me want more.
5. What is your favorite anime ending song + animation?
I have a confession to make. I rarely watch the ending animation for a show. So I'm ganna pass this one.
6. What is your favorite anime scene?
The one where the hero gets the save at literally the last minute when everything seems hopeless. Like when Luffy punched Enel for the first time. But that's my favorite thing in general. I typically like scenes that make me laugh or feel uplifted. But truthfully? My favorite anime scene ever is in Clanned: After Story, Ep. 19 'Road Home,' when Tomoya finally forgives his father and recognizes the sacrifices he made for him. It's an incredibly emotional scene, especially for someone raised by a single parent, and it always makes me tear up.
7. If you could meet an anime character who would it be?
I already mentioned that I'd like to talk to Holo from Spice and Wolf, but if I had to choose someone else? Maybe the girls from K-ON! I'd like to jam with them.
8. What anime character is most similar to you in terms of personality?
Germany from Hetalia. Though not as hard a worker, I'm pretty grumpy at times and generally distant with most people, but I'm actually a big softy inside.
9. What is your favorite thing about anime?
The gratuitous fan service. Just kidding! I like a few things. The humor, action, the random insertion of English here and there. I guess what I really like about anime is the sheer variety. Since most anime are about 12-24 episodes, you can experience a complete story with unique characters in a relatively short amount of time. This is great for a fiction addict like myself. Trust me, being weened on American Comics, The Simpsons, and Harry Potter, this is a nice change of pace.
10. What is your least favorite thing about anime?
The gratuitous fan service. And incest. I could do with a lot less incest in my anime.
11. Who are your favorite anime couple?
Harima and Tenma from School Rumble, even though they never actually dated. I liked Renton and Eureka from Eureka 7, especially cause you saw their relationship evolve over time. Kou and Nino's relationship in Arakawa Under the Bridge is also very cute.
12. Who is your favorite anime animal?
Does a yakuza dressed as a bird count?
13. What anime would make a good game?
Now, there are plenty of anime I love that actually have good games…in Japan. Horizon in the Middle off Nowhere would would be amazing, if it was available in America. I'm mostly thinking fighting games, because I think anime transfer well into fighters. A Cromartie High Fighter by Arc Systems would be incredible. I've also always thought that a DC Comics vs Shonen Jump game should have been made years ago.
14. What game would make a good anime?
Any Final Fantasy game. Just transfer the story right into the TV and don't add any fluff. I'm also surprised that one one had made a Chrono Trigger anime yet, since I'd really, really, really begging to be one. It's already got art from Akira Toriyama. God Hand would be awesome if it was made by Gainax. Street Fighter should have a lot better anime than it already has. Possibly one of Suda51's games, like Killer 7 or No More Heroes.
15. What was the first anime you ever watched?
I think it was Dragon Ball Z in Spanish. But the first anime I watched that I actually thought of as "anime" was probably Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade. Its also the only anime I actually have a physical copy of.
16. Do you think you'll ever stop watching anime?
17. What is your favorite genre of anime?
Anything that's funny. Comedy/blank is my favorite genre. I also have a guilty pleasure for harems.
18. What is your least favorite genre of anime?
Anything that has to do with a family member falling in love with another family member, even if they are "adopted." Ew. I don't really watch Shonen anime much because they tend to be really long and repetitive (though I will read the manga). Shojo anime are also hit or miss for me (though I do like a good romantic comedy).
19. Are you open about watching anime with people you know?
Sometimes. Generally no. If it's a movie, then sure. If it's a TV show, it has to be in English. Comedies are pretty easy to watch with people, like Cromartie or even Lucky Star. As long as it's not too sexual, them I'm cool with it. But for me, Anime's a hobby, and I like to do my hobbies by myself. I won't say no, but I'm not the kind of person to suggest watching it either.
20. Have you ever been to Japan?
No, but I'd like to.
21. What anime was the biggest let down for you?
Ben-to. This show about kids fighting for convenience store sushi should have been amazing. It should have been a comedy. It should have pointed out how absurd it was for these kids to be doing this, but it didn't. It could have had crazy anime fights involving beef jerky, but no. Instead, it played it straight and became just another shitty shonen anime.
22. What anime was better than expected?
Accel World came out of nowhere for me. I was surprise at how much I liked it, especially considering the abnormal design for the main character. But it worked. I found myself empathizing with Haru more than usual. I loved the gaming aspects of the show and the character work. I also found myself pretty engrossed on the world the anime built, and hope they make a second season.
23. What is the best anime fight scene?
There's a short fight in Nisemonogatari between Koyomi and his sister Karen that I found pretty impressive. Luffy vs Luci in One Piece was fun. And most fights in Gurren Laggan and Kill La Kill are amazing.
24. Who is your anime waifu?
Risa from Lovely Complex. If anything, just to get her away from that horrible Ootani. Fuck that guy.
25. What was your favorite video game as a child?
Super Mario World/Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
26. Most embarrassing moment?
One time, I pleaded with my teacher to let me out of class or I'd miss the school bus. I misread the clock and didn't know we still had an hour of school left. I have sleepy eyes, so some people in class thought I was already on drugs. This didn't help my case.
27. Can you drive? Do you own a car?
Working on it.
28. Are you mature?
Like Biologically?
29. What year were you born?
In the year of our lord, 1990.
30. Do you prefer cats or dogs?
31. Describe yourself physically.
Average height, black hair, buzz cut, brown eyes, brown skin, a bit more squishy than I'd like to be.
32. What would you name your first child?
If its a boy, then maybe Aurelio or Nicholas after my father or grandfather. Carmen for a girl. Secretly, I'd like to name one of my kids Mortimer or Morticia, so I can yell "Yo, Morty!" at them.
33. What is the worst injury you have ever had?
I once had a pretty bad crash on my bike and had a nasty bruise on my stomach and tailbone. But I had to study that day, so limped to the library, cleaned myself off, and read for a bit. Despite the advice of my friends and roommates, I decided not to go to the hospital. By some miracle, I managed to walk if off after a few weeks.
34. What is your worst habit?
I'm too generous a lover. And I'm a compulsive liar.
35. Do you drink or smoke?
Nope. Hate second-hand smoke. Don't like to drink.
36. Do you have a tattoo?
No. Though I'd like a Superman tattoo one day.
37. Are you a morning person or a night person?
A morning person. Definitely.
38. Have you ever slept past midday?
Once or twice in college. I was the graphic's editor for my college's comedy magazine, and they had the interesting habit of waiting till the last minute to complete the magazine. I usually had to spend multiple all-nighters for layout and editing. Once, this was before the very first day of school. Another time was before I had a Final.
39. Do you regret anything?
About three thing. Maybe four. It's not something I like to think about.
40. Can you count the number of friends you have on one hand?
41. Do you wear glasses?
42. Are you a picky eater?
Nope. Though I'm wary about Chinese Food. My grandmother had the bad habit of trying to make Chinese Food, which never turned out right despite her mastery of Mexican food, so I've always had an aversion to it.
43. Would you die for someone?
I'd like to think that I could if the situation came up.
44. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Superintelligence. Then I'd invent teleportation and a universal translater.
45. Do you believe in the supernatural?
Yes. I firmly believe my childhood home has a ghost in it. A friendly ghost, but still.
46. Would you rather be rich or famous?
Rich. Then I could buy commercials to make me famous.
47. Have you ever committed a crime?
Nothing that was proven.
48. Time traveler or ghost?
Time Traveler. I'm a big sucker for time travel stories in general. Doctor Who, Back to the Future, the works.
49. Does someone have a crush on you?
Maybe my cat.
50. Are you in a relationship?
That's a se-cre-t.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to another two years!

The start of the new year means Spring 2019 styles are starting to drop if they haven't already! I put together a few videos of some of the men's designer collections we should see releasing soon. Some are short clips and others are full runway shows. Enjoy.
Louis Vuitton Men's Precollection SS19
A short clip of an astronaut inspired menswear collection from Louis Vuitton. Check out the shades and shoes. Here comes intergalactic.
Prada Menswear Spring/Summer 2019 Fashion Show
I was honestly a little confused with this collection. There's just a lot going on and some of these styles I just don't see anyone replicating the way these models. are. Blazers and short shorts? Lets hear what you have to say. The shoe collection though…just weak.
Y-3 SS 2019 Fashion Show
I really thought this collection was amazing. From the outfits to the entire footwear collection. The outfits really represent the Y-3 aesthetic and the flowy outfits looked spectacular. I may have to pick up my first pair of Y-3 shows at some point this season!

Jun Kuribayashi isn't just one of the most flexible and talented dancers in the world. He's also one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet, a performer who radiates positive energy and wears a semi-permanent smile -- at least in public. Like the rest of his colleagues at the gravity-defying dance company Pilobolus, he seems to enjoy his performances so much that positive karma literally flows out from the stage out into audiences. From his amazing solo Pseudopodia (in which he tumbles, rolls forward and morphs his body onstage like a veritable human coil) to a recent Houdini-like escape from a small red gym bag where he was wrapped up, chained and twisted like a pretzel, Kuribayashi never ceases to amaze. Sadly, after nine years with the company, he recently announced that he would leaving Pilobolus at the end of the season. I spoke with Jun this weekend about his past and present, as well as his plans for the future.
Christopher Atamian: Jun can you tell us where you grew up and where you trained to be a dancer?
Jun Kuribayashi: I was born in Japan and came to the United States at the age of 5. I grew up in Lawrence, Kansas and studied dance at the University of Kansas. I began my career at MOMIX in 2004 and have been dancing for Pilobolus since August of the same year.
CA: How did you choose to come to Pilobolus -- not your run-of the mill dance troupe by any means -- over other companies?
JK: I had actually seen them perform two years prior to auditioning, but believe it or not when I came for auditions, I didn't actually know what company I was trying out for. Since this was my first audition I figured I would get cut early on and instead just get to experience New York. My wife Casey came with me for support and ended up in the theater all week. When it came down to it, I really enjoyed how incredibly humble and down-to-earth the dancers were and that made me decide to join the company.
CA: Can you discuss how you got so damn flexible -- even compared to most performers -- and what type of training or daily rehearsals Pilobolus dancers undergo?
JK: I think anyone can get that way if they want to. I wasn't born flexible by any means. It's always been a matter of pride with me as well. When someone asks me if I can do something and I can't quite do it, I'll work hard to get it. Also, I've always had really open hips and that helps when you try to sling your legs behind your head. At Pilobolus, we have no real regimen or class in the traditional sense. If we think the group is lacking something, we'll create exercises on the spot to enhance their abilities. We learn to become sensitive to each other's touch through learning and creating repertory. But actually everyone isn't equally flexible...most actually aren't -- but we all contribute other, amazing qualities to the company.
CA: What in your mind makes Pilobolus special? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything truly negative about Pilobolus.
JK: There are countless things that make Pilobolus special to me. This company thrives on hiring passionate, intelligent and creative problem solvers. But I think what sets us apart is our collaborative process and family atmosphere. Our pieces on stage are the direct result of dancers, artistic directors and production crew working together organically. The family atmosphere comes in the form of children running around the studio, amazing home-made company dinners and people always being available to each other in and out of the studio. As a result, we're all deeply invested in our work and I think that audiences sense that.
CA: In the past few years, Pilobolus has collaborated with puppeteers like Basil Twist and magicians Penn and Teller. I see too little of this in the dance world. I find it invigorating, creative. Do you agree?
JK: It is a very interesting way to create from the very beginning. When you collaborate, ideally the best ideas win out. Collaboration in general is a very difficult, committed process. You can't allow difficulties or your pride to stop you from pushing forward...that may be why some people fall short when they attempt to work together...not forgetting that you are all working towards the same goal is crucial in my opinion, whether in the dance studio or the outside world!
CA: I also like the way you all seem to enjoy your physicality and bodies in a fun, completely natural way. Is that an issue -- i.e. do you ever think, oh here we are again, half-naked?
JK: Costumes are either hit or miss. They either enhance or distract the performance, and since we are fortunate enough to be in good shape I don't mind the nudity. I was a swimmer in high school and wore speedos every day so a dance belt, after getting use to it riding up my backside, wasn't that much of a deterrent.
CA: As a corollary to that are you and your colleagues as happy in real life as you appear to be on stage? I mean, can one fake such joy?
JK: We have our on and off days, but we do enjoy our job. I can't imagine a more rewarding thing to do apart from parenting at this very moment.
CA: Can you say something about Moses Pendleton and his vision?
JK: I am lucky enough to have worked with all four original artistic directors at one time or another. They are all very passionate and curious about the world and really well-read...The short time that I worked with Moses, in Momix, I found him to be a charismatic speaker and motivator. I guess they are all similar in that aspect. The kind of people whom you would say: "Gee, I want to go talk to that person over there. They seem really interesting!"
CA: Why are you leaving the company?
JK: Well, I am not leaving for any physical reasons, I am not injured or anything. You know, among other things, my wife has been very patient these past ten years while I've spent a majority of time on the road. I guess I am settling down and would really like to start a family.
CA: What are your plans for the next year and the future?
JK: I have no concrete plans for the future, except hopefully learning to become the best dad and husband possible. I have always been fortunate that interesting opportunities have come my way and hope something comes up. I may teach, actually.
CA: Do you have any message or advice that you would like to give audience members or perhaps to young performers who are contemplating a career in dance?
JK: Be open to new things. Don't take everything so seriously: work hard but play harder. Find a reason to smile and try to be a positive influence on the world
Thank you, Jun.

Used copies of his book, "Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor," sell for thousands of dollars on the Internet.He's so important in the financial circles that, when he had heart surgery a while back, the Wall Street Journal kept its readers apprised of his medical condition and progress.
Meet Seth Klarman, age 59, a Baltimore native, Harvard grad, resident of Chestnut Hill, billionaire, frequent donor to Republican office holders, (including Charlie Baker), and founder of the Baupost Group, a Boston-based private investment partnership.And, guess what? Our new Republican president has Mr. Klarman shaking in his boots.
As just reported in the New York Times, Klarman recently wrote a private letter to his investors, which found its way to Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin. In an article headlined "A Quiet Giant of Investing Weighs In on Trump," Sorkin revealed that Klarman views with skepticism and alarm the gains in the stock market that followed Trump's election."In particular, Mr. Klarman appears to believe that investors have become hypnotized by all the talk of pro-growth policies, without considering the full ramifications," wrote Sorkin. "He worries, for example, that Mr. Trump's stimulus efforts 'could prove quite inflationary, which would likely shock investors.' "
Sorkin's piece, replete with quotations from Klarman's letter, is a must-read. There's a link to it below. I should not summarize it when the original's readily available and better written than my blog. But I'd like to present a few choice excerpts from Klarman's letter, as reported in the Times:
"President Trump may be able to temporarily hold off the sweep of automation and globalization by cajoling companies to keep jobs at home, but bolstering inefficient and uncompetitive enterprises is likely to only temporarily stave off market forces.""While they might be popular, the reason the U.S. long ago abandoned protectionist trade policies is because they not only don't work, they actually leave society worse off."
"The erratic tendencies and overconfidence in his own wisdom and judgment that Donald Trump has demonstrated to date are inconsistent with strong leadership and sound decision-making.""The big picture for investors is this: Trump is high volatility, and investors generally abhor volatility and shun uncertainty."
"Not only is Trump shockingly unpredictable, he's apparently deliberately so; he says it's part of his plan.""If things go wrong, we could find ourselves at the beginning of a lengthy decline in dollar hegemony, a rapid rise in interest rates and inflation, and global angst."
Here's the link to "A Quiet Giant…":https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/06/business/dealbook/sorkin-seth-klarman-trump-investors.html

DJI Announces the New Matrice 600 Drone and Ronin-MX Gimbal
DJI showed off the 13.2lb payload Matrice 600 professional drone and the universally compatible Ronin-MX stabilizer.
In keeping with their innovation of aerial cinematography, DJI brings us two new units that continue to push the limits of this tech, while still keeping it affordable. At the top floor of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, DJI unveiled (literally — they threw a curtain off the product encased in glass) a new drone and a new gimbal. Here's everything we know so far:
Matrice 600 Drone
- 13.2lb payload (not including a gimbal)
- Flies up to 36 minutes with a Zenmuse camera
- Flies up to 15 minutes with larger camera like the RED Weapon
- A3 Flight Wave Controller (upgradeable to A3 Pro)
- Dual Antennae make it more accurate around metal structures
- RTK (Real Time Kinematic)
- 6 batteries for increased flight time and insurance against battery failure
- Dust proof, water resistant
- Waypoints, 'Follow Me'
- SDI Outputs (1080i at 50fps)
- $4,599
- Shipping "soon"
- Openly compatible gimbal (mount it to a crane arm, for example)
- Communicates with DJI's flight controller
- Easily mountable on the new M600
- 3-Axis stabilization
- Weighs 6.1 lbs
- Supports RED EPIC, ARRI ALEXA Mini and more cameras
- Battery moved to front to increase stabilization when moving forward
- 50% more powerful than Ronin-M
- 3 modes: Upright, Underslung & Briefcase
- Apparently a "5 minute set-up"
- $1,599
Additionally, if you buy these two new products together you can get them for $5,999.

Ronin-MX is $1599 or drone + gimbal together is $5999. Pretty exciting news I would say. Now if only the FAA got their act together...........
April 17, 2016 at 9:33PM
YOOOOOZ!!! anybody think that the ronin-m's price will be dropped a couple hunnids now that the MX is out?
April 17, 2016 at 9:38PM, Edited April 17, 9:38PM
A kick in the face for everyone who bought a ronin recently.
Same with the Phantom 3, you bought one - the price got dropped and you get the new P4 for the same price as the P3.
But besides everyone who don't have a Ronin at the moment, i think that there will be great deals for the "old" models soon.
But the big question is how long the App for the "old" Ronins will be supported and updated.
April 17, 2016 at 11:31PM, Edited April 17, 11:31PM
The old model can carry up to 7.25kg.
The new MX can carry 4.5 kg.
The kick in the face is debatable.
April 18, 2016 at 2:29AM
April 18, 2016 at 2:12AM, Edited April 18, 2:12AM
It will almost be a certainty I would say. I have the Ronin-M and can balance my FS7 stripped down already. I will definitely be upgrading to the MX though as I currently have to use super lightweight lenses with my M to be able to balance it.
So if anyone is looking for an M in the UK I'll be selling when this is released! ;)
April 18, 2016 at 2:30AM
The MX might not be able to then, The mx is tested for lower weight capacities, as one of the comments above stated the M is tested for up to 7.25 and the mx is tested for up to 4.5
April 18, 2016 at 4:41AM
It depends on lenses and accessories. I just shot a feature film with the Ronin and FS7. In order have light contax zeiss primes with a remote follow focus meant extension arms were needed on the Ronin. I was powering the FS7/monitor/wireless HDMI with V-lock (mounted on the handlebars). I guess the FS7 would just clear at the back with a BPU battery and lightens but no follow focus or mattebox. FS7 stripped is circa 3kg.
April 18, 2016 at 6:40PM
DJI is afraid they will lose ground to Yuneec 920, wich is a better combination with the Gh4
April 18, 2016 at 8:03AM
What i really want to know is what is that FigRig like device they are using with the Ronin?? That I WANT.
April 18, 2016 at 8:15AM, Edited April 18, 8:15AM
No one seems to be talking about one GLARING issue with this amazing combo: if you want to pair the Ronin MX with the Matrice 600 and get a video feed, you'll need the "SRW-60G" part, which isn't allowed for use in North America...http://store.dji.com/product/matrice-600?site=brandsite&from=buy_now_bar
April 18, 2016 at 8:22AM, Edited April 18, 8:22AM
I'm really excited to try out the Ronin MX, but the M600 scares me a little. I'm not sure a six motor heavy lift drone is the right way to go, I would prefer 8 motors with some form of redundancy.
April 18, 2016 at 9:51AM, Edited April 18, 9:51AM
Me too. I assume that they are doing the same thing FreeFly did. Launch a "heavy-lift" hexacopter, wait for all the early adopters to jump on board, and than release a more capable octocopter.
A hexacopter does offer redundancy and DJI suggests that it should be able to fly with up to 3 motors out thanks to new algorithms in the A3. However, even with just one motor out, a M600 flying a RED or Alexa Mini will most likely be too heavy for a controlled recovery in the case of a malfunction, much like the FreeFly Alta 6. However, at payloads that aren't approaching the max, you should be good to go.

Easter Sunday we were excited to see a nice first flush of Lepista sordida (confirmed via DNA) – a small tester bag of colonised rye grass seed and sawdust innoculated with grain spawn. This was buried in a shady and overgrown flowerbed about an inch under soil and eucy mulch in Feb.
The smell and flavour of these little blewits was quite unusual – floral and potent.
A very exciting easter surprise.
We are now selling plates of this species and will also be soon stocking these and king stropharia grow bags to simplify things.
As explained previously this species was collected and presumed to be Lepista sublilacina but DNA extraction and sequencing revealed that it was in fact Lepista sordida.
A detailed write-up on these little grass-growing Lepista can be found at:

ATI Radeon HD 5870 Overclocked Round-up
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 was released in March 2010, from developers Avalanche Studios and Eidos Interactive. The game makes use of the Avalanche Engine 2.0, an updated version of the original. It is set on the fictional island of Panau in southeast Asia, and you play the role of Rico Rodriquez. We benchmarked the graphics cards in this article using one of the built-in demo runs called The Dark Tower. The test results shown here were run at a 2560 x 1600 resolution and with all settings at their maximum level.
With an extremely high resolution and equally demanding display settings, Just Cause 2 proved to be an exigent game for these videocards. With that said, there were no surprises in the performance results. The Super Overclock hit the highest average frames per second, followed by the Turbo X and the Lightning. Compared to the stock version, Gigabyte's card was about 6% faster.

A gift multiplies in its value by the way it is packed. The person celebrating his birthday loves to unravel his gift from the mass or papers and ribbons, and the glee is all the more if the gifts are stacked into a basket instead of an ordinary wrapper. In fact, birthday gift baskets are an easy way to put together all the goodies that you have bought for your dear one.
A birthday gift basket can have an exclusive assortment of varied gifts or contain different articles of the same sort. That is, you can pack the chocolates, candles, cosmetics and all the stuff in a single basket or fill it only with a uniform collection of chocolates or cosmetics. Whatever be your choice, try to pick gifts that are sure to delight the person unwrapping them. The birthday gift baskets are generally cane or plastic ones, but if it is a theme birthday party, or if there is some special gift to put
in the hamper, why go for the regular ones? The birthday gift baskets can be made unique with your creativity, and browsing the stores with a little care, you would come across a lot of unique containers that can make great baskets to carry the birthday gifts!
A chest shaped basket would definitely seem a treasure house of pleasure. For the young ladies, a purse shaped basket stuffed with cosmetics would double the fun of the gifts inside. A grocery bag or a bowl shaped one would be ideal for the women, while a beer mug one would be sheer delight for the men. For a pirate's birthday party, the best one would of course be a ship shaped basket, while plastic pail is perfectly suited if you are throwing the birthday person a beach party. Cane baskets are elegant carriers, but since they are so common, try to find one with an unusual shape or a beautiful knit. You can even try to hand paint a basket, or decorate it with sequins and ribbons to make the hamper really exclusive and add a personal touch to the gifts inside.
Packaging plays an important role in bringing out the value of a gift, and a well wrapped gift is sure to make the contents more precious to the recipient. Baskets are therefore a wonderful way of overwhelming the birthday boy or girl as he pulls out one gift after another.

The ProCure21 Framework for the delivery of capital schemes for the NHS , has signed up to the Constructing Better Health (CBH) Client Charter. They are collaborating with CBH to encourage improvements in the management of occupational health throughout the supply chains engaged on the P21 National Framework and this will continue under the new P21+ National Framework.
Cliff Jones, Senior Policy & Performance Manager said, "ProCure21 is seen as a case study in best practice for the implementation of frameworks by NAO and OGC. Working with CBH we want to encourage our supply chains to improve their management of the health of those that deliver the projects under the framework. Working with the CBH and through the CBH client charter we will encourage all our framework contractors and their supply chains to develop their approach to the management of occupational health."
The ProCure21 National Framework includes many of the UK leading construction companies as well as many large and small sub-contractors in their supply chains. The CBH CHAT (Construction Health Action Toolkit) database and software package will enable these contractors and those within their supply chains to demonstrate to us that they are managing the occupational health of every worker at site level.
Mr Jones continues: "Our commitment towards delivering exceptional healthcare facilities for the UK needs to ensure that we are addressing the health of all that are directly engaged in delivering them within the supply chain.. As we set the standard, so should we lead by example of how to deliver without causing detriment to the construction workforce and unnecessarily generating additional patients for the NHS."
Michelle Aldous, Chief executive of Constructing Better Health, said: "ProCure21 has a strong reputation for delivering healthcare buildings in the UK. We look forward to adding our expertise to complement to their professional excellence by creating a robust foundation for their workers' health. "

The Democrat Party is on its last leg.
President Donald Trump is masterfully handing them loss after loss.
And now the entire Democrat Party is done after Trump got huge news.
With the Democrat debates in full swing, the first set of debates was meant to narrow the field of candidates.
Currently, there are dozens of candidates vying for the nomination, with more candidates, like billionaire Tom Steyer jumping in every day.
But in reality, the only person seeming to win in the debates is President Donald Trump.
These debates are giving Democrats the chance to showcase their radical beliefs for the entire world.
Every single candidate in the second round of debates stated their healthcare plans include free healthcare for illegal immigrants.
And some of the leading candidates, like Joe Biden, were hit with attacks that will linger with them even if they get the Democrat nomination.
So while a few candidates, like Kamala Harris, saw a sizable increase in polling, there is nobody happier with the debate than Trump.
A new poll from Emerson polling shows that President Trump has increased his standing against every Democrat candidate in one-on-one polling.
In the poll, Trump is beating Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sen. Kamala Harris by 51%-49%.
Their most recent polling showed Trump trailing those candidates.
Trump is also gaining on the front-runner, Joe Biden, with Biden having 53% to Trump's 47%, a solid increase from the 55% to 45% last month.
The only other candidate with a lead on Trump is Bernie Sanders, with 51% to 49%.
But even that polling is weak considering that Sanders was leading Trump with 55% to 45% last month.
This is fantastic news for the President, who doesn't even yet know who he will run against in 2020.
The way things are looking, he has a very strong chance at re-election.
The company conducting the poll loudly declared that Trump is the clear winner in the debate.
"It looks like Trump was a winner from the Democratic debate, as his head-to-heads tightened by about 5 points against all the leading Democratic candidates," Emerson Polling director Spencer Kimball said.
If the first debates are any indication, Trump only has room to move up from here.
And Trump isn't even on the debate stage.
Once he is able to confront his own challengers one-on-one, things will clearly only get better for him.
Following the debate, Trump's campaign came out praising the Democrat Party for their gift to his campaign.
"This debate was the best argument for President Trump's re-election and should really be counted as an in-kind contribution to the President's campaign," Trump campaign national press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said.
So as things look now, Trump has a very strong campaign ahead of him going into 2020.
If he wins, it will send a loud and clear message that his America first policies are popular.
Do you think Trump will win re-election in 2020?

One thing about H&M is they certainly know how to play their cards right regards to their designer collaborations. It has been reported that H&M will be collaborating with Versace for their upcoming Fall collab. I was totally ecstatic from hearing about Lanvin last year, but Versace?! Every demographic will want to have their hands on this new highly anticipated garments..
The aesthetic will be more towards a rock and roll vibe consisting of 20 pieces for the men and 40 for the women (some bs on that one)! I will try my best not to underestimate the rock and roll theme, but it just doesn't fit the Versace brand (more towards Balmain, but that's my opinion). Nevertheless, the accessories are going to be the biggest seller. A Versace scarf is calling a brotha's name. We all can not wait for the looks comes closer to fruition.

Most supermarkets sell honey and nut corn flakes.
Does any supermarket or retailer now sell them? This was my favourite breakfast cereal until, quite suddenly, it disappeared from the shelves several years ago.
The supermarkets may have used the same supplier or source for honey and nut bran flakes, because Tesco and Sainsbury ceased selling them at roughly the same time.
Can this cereal have been so unpopular?

text: Last week, The Times reported that Britain's welfare system is so sexist it may as well have been compiled by "a group of misogynists in a room," a UN expert has claimed. Philip Alston, the UN's rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, warned that poverty in the UK is a "political choice" and that compassion and concern had been "outsourced" in favour of tax cuts for the rich. Alston was particularly critical of universal credit,the controversial benefits system that merges six benefits into one payment, which he said had "plunged people into misery and despair". He said Tory reforms were driven by a "commitment to achieving radical social re-engineering," and claimed that poverty could be erased if there was the political will to do so. Single women caring for children had been the worst hit by austerity cuts, he found. "There is a really remarkable gender dimension to many of the reforms," he told a briefing in Westminster. "If you got a group of misogynists together in a room and said 'how can we make a system that works for men but not women?' they wouldn't have come up with too many other ideas than what's in place."
