The Paleo Diet has been quite the fad since the mid 70's. The theory behind this diet is that all our health issues are the products of the switch from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle as practiced in the Paleolithic eras, which covered most of the last 2.6 million years, to the agriculture based Neolithic which took over beginning about 10,000 years ago. Obviously many dietary changes took place during the true Paleolithic eras. I assume that those who invented the Paleo Diet had in mind the diet of just before the beginning of agriculture.
Proponents of this diet would have us stop eating grains, most legumes, and all dairy products. The idea being that our bodies have not had time to adapt to such a radical dietary shift. They say we should eat plenty of meat, fruits and vegetables and some nuts, eggs etc.
The problem with these claims are many. They fail to take into consideration the fact that as opportunistic omnivores, our ancestors spread into a wide variety of ecologies, from Africa to Northern Europe and from the jungles of New Guinea to the steppes of Russia and Alaska. They ate basically whatever they could find, from roots to insects, leaves to animals. Their invention of culture, weapons, cooking etc. made them the most widely dispersed species ever. A position we still maintain, although the cockroaches are right behind.
It was believed by the founders of the Paleo Diet that the 10,000 years or so since the beginning of agriculture till the present was not enough time for our digestive tracts to come to terms with the increase in availability of carbohydrates that came with the domestication of grains. This is now known to be false. Studies have shown that our bodies digest the products of agriculture with few problems. They do have a lot of trouble with the modern steep decline in the amount of daily exercise we get, and the near universal presence of unhealthy snack foods.
Regardless of the scientific issues with the Paleo Diet, the fact remains that on the whole it is pretty healthy. It is fairly low in carbohydrates but can be high in saturated fats from red meat. The prohibition of dairy products may lead to a lack of calcium. It is interesting to look at the statistics on lactose intolerance by ethnicity. In places where cows, sheep and goats were domesticated and used early, there is not so much lactose intolerance. So if you are lactose intolerant, don't use dairy. If you are not, count yourself lucky and eat what you like, in moderation. Which is of course the real key to the whole diet issue. By the time of the ancient Greeks there was already a proverb, "All things in moderation." If more of us could stick by that advice, there would be better health all round.
Here are some "Paleo" recipes to get you started or let you explore. I'm not sure our Paleolithic ancestors would recognize anything about them, but they are nutritious.

Slow Cooker Chili
Use ground beef, turkey or chicken, or a mixture of meats, maybe some sausage. Most butcher counters will grind a roast for you, ask for a coarse or chili grind.
Spaghetti Squash
The best tool for removing seeds and strings from any squash is a grapefruit spoon. If you don't have one, look in your thrift stores. It is not necessary to remove the squash from the shells. Just serve one half per person, put in some butter, grated parmesan cheese or serve with a bowl of your favorite pasta sauce. Home made Basil Pesto sauce is wonderful.
Avocado Soup
Check for full recipe below the video.
Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
Another place to use Meyer Lemons
Avocado and Citrus Salad
Black Bean Quinoa Salad
Might need to add a little cooking time and water at our altitude. Denver cooks said to add an extra 1/3-1/2 c water and cook 5-10 minutes longer.
Meyer Lemon Bars

Make your own fig cookies
Don't forget to adjust temperatures for your altitude.
Rule of Thumb—reduce target temperature by 2º F for every 1000 ft above sea level.
O.K. you Cheese Lovers—It's time for a Cheese Board Dessert
The custom of having cheese as an appetizer is very recent, and silly. Cheese is a high fat item, and has the effect of drastically reducing hunger. This is ok if you are having a cheese and alcohol tasting, followed by a light meal. But it used to be served after the meal, as a "savory" or part of dessert. So make up a plate of cheese, nuts, jam, dried fruit, chocolate and other calorie dense items, and serve it after the meal. Probably don't put too much meat on for a dessert board.
Try for contrast in choosing your cheeses and other items. Have a creamy soft brie, an extra sharp cheddar, and a smooth havarti or Swiss style gruyere. Add some fresh grapes, a few sliced dried pears, a couple of types of crackers, and some onion and garlic jam, and/or fruit jam. Serve some Sherry or Port, or maybe a Sauterne. Your guests will be Amazed.

Quantum computing and the world of tomorrow!
Banking no longer has the luxury of getting up to speed with new technology. If you can't adapt on the fly you'll be left behind.
Get comfortable being in the dark
Sometimes it must feel like banking is the busiest industry in the world. Just as you're done trying to understand new technology like DLT, APIs or Machine Learning something new is thrown into the mix. Finding comfort through learning is not a luxury you can afford anymore. The good news is that you didn't learn those other things anyway. We need to get away from the idea that bankers and CEOs need to go to school to learn about the latest technologies. If digital transformation and other emerging technologies haven't made you realise you don't need to learn everything, quantum computing will. The technical minutiae are so complex you won't understand it without doing a degree. You likely don't come from a technology background. So you need to be comfortable with the idea that you need experts in that field to inform you properly. There are possibilities quantum computing will bring that aren't even defined yet. There are so many exciting opportunities from a banking perspective; risk analysis, pricing, stimulation and who knows what else will be unlocked by quantum computing. These are open and unanswered questions for banks.
Partner properly
Letting go of the need to understand how things work means you can engage in the art of the possible. Step past the technical minutiae and focus on the decisions that'll decide the future of your business. It's a little bit scary to accept, but the people who will guide you to those possibilities are not bankers. They're the experts who, right now, are developing quantum computing and figuring out what it can bring to the table. Finding who to partner with is going to be the most difficult part of the quantum computing process. We need to be comfortable with not owning the hardware involved. Key to that is focusing on a partner who will invest in the technology and can help you think it through. Thinking through how to integrate quantum computing with banking is a task that requires bankers and experts to work together. Imagination is vital to the future of the industry. Solutions will be found through partnering with technology experts. Experts that can bring a lifetime of specialised knowledge to help you discover business applications of quantum computing.
Who should you hire?
Years ago I had to jump through every hoop imaginable to hire a theoretical physicist because no-one could see how the disciplines could interact. Now banks actively seek them out. The same will happen with quantum computing. There'll be a skills gap within the business to account for. Unfortunately, there's no telling where those gaps are just yet. Gaps will only become apparent as the technology progresses and reveals weaknesses you never knew you had.

The World Bank Group – Established in 1944, the WBG is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. In fiscal year 2017, the WBG committed $59 billion in loans, grants, equity investments and guarantees to its members and private businesses, of which $19 billion was concessional finance to its poorest members. It is governed by 188 member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Senior Communications Officer
Job #: req869
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Sector: Communications
Grade: GG
Term Duration: 2 years 0 months
Recruitment Type: Local Recruitment
Required Language(s): English
Regional Context
The Africa Region, which is comprised of approximately 740 staff members, mostly based in about 40 country offices, is committed to helping Africa realize its considerable development potential, with a focus on employment generation. The core values guiding our work are passion for our mission of sustainable poverty reduction with keen attention to quality and transformative impact, putting the needs of the client at the center of all our activities, trust and respect as a common currency, intellectual rigor and curiosity, honesty and integrity, teamwork, openness to learning and the courage to admit we do not always have the answer.
In this deeply interconnected digital world, the 21st century will be defined by rising generations of skilled young African men and women. With approximately 11 million young Africans expected to enter the labor market each year for the next decade, our development work is dedicated to improving the job prospects, living conditions, and wellbeing of Africa's people, especially Africa's poorest. We believe that by enabling Africans from all walks of life reach their full potential – physically and intellectually – the world will breach the final poverty frontier.
Eradicating extreme poverty and catalyzing transformative development across the continent requires supporting our clients to overcome barriers to economic growth and challenges to competitiveness in the global economy. Together we are addressing bottlenecks to doing business, scaling up investments for critical infrastructure, boosting Africa's human capital, facilitating innovation and technology adoption, and leveraging drivers of growth, notably agricultural productivity.
Sub-Saharan Africa is recovering from a decline in economic growth, which reached a low of 1.5% in 2016. The economic recovery lost momentum in 2018 but is set to continue. However, structural transformation in the region remains slow and the availability of good jobs has not been able to keep pace with the number of entrants in the labor force. Public debts burdens are rising, fueling debt sustainability risks, and fragility in the region remains widespread with vulnerable populations of extreme poor on the rise.
While the overall business climate in Africa is the weakest in the world, several countries including some fragile states have made great strides in improving their environment for business. What is emerging as a result is a growing region, with setbacks from time to time, that is increasingly seen as a destination for investment; and one where leaders are increasingly willing to address problems of poor governance that harms development effectiveness.
The Africa Region seeks to seize this unprecedented opportunity to better support our clients in realizing the ambition of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
Country Context
Africa's most populous country, Nigeria has enjoyed solid economic growth in recent years, but oil, which accounts for 90% of exports and 75% of consolidated budget revenues, is reeling from global price declines. And despite successful elections, security concerns from Boko Haram in the north and related problems of displacement persist. World Bank commitments in Nigeria of $1.7 billion in 2015 and $2 billion the previous year underscore the country's strategic importance, and its role as a major economic engine in West Africa.
As Africa's largest economy, Nigeria carries huge importance for the economic and social well-being of the entire region. Notwithstanding its status as an economic powerhouse, Nigeria is addressing virtually every challenge countries of Sub-Saharan Africa are facing: conflict and recovery issues in areas subject to Boko Haram violence; institution-building and resource management; making social safety nets more inclusive and reliable; improving energy supplies for the population.
The Senior Communications Officer for the World Bank in Nigeria must have a firm grasp of this range of political, social and economic challenges and must be well positioned to lead communications interventions that support the country program. The successful candidate must have a deep knowledge and understanding of Nigeria's political economy and be positioned to engage leaders with media, the private sector, academia and the full panoply of stakeholders in the country.
The Senior Communications Officer will have a good understanding of reputation risk management and be responsible for supporting complex Bank-funded projects in Nigeria, and for carrying out dissemination strategies for Bank analytical work using creative tools including social media. Candidates for the position should have a demonstrated capacity for shaping public opinion and influencing the national conversation on critical issues. They should also be ready to provide strategic communications leadership and support to other countries and partners in the region when called upon.
Africa External Communications and Partnerships (AFREC) employs an extended team of professionals in World Bank Headquarters and across country offices to support the overarching goal of advancing inclusive growth in Africa. AFREC uses the full array of communications tools and methodologies to build awareness and understanding and mobilize support for development goals.
Work programs cover dissemination through traditional and online media, relationship building, analysis of political and project risks, and design of programs to manage those risks. A strategic renewal within AFREC emphasizes closer alignment with operations in the region, and coordination with the Bank's External and Corporate Relations network, to ensure that AFREC services are critical to regional and corporate priorities, and that they employ state-of-the art communications tools to disseminate information, build understanding, and connect the Bank to a variety of actors involved in poverty reduction and development.
Recognizing that Africa's economic and social context is rapidly changing, and that communications technologies have revolutionized the ways that information travels, AFREC is building a team of dynamic and innovative professionals prepared to use traditional and digital tools, including social media and multi-media production, to shape the debate on development priorities and trade-offs.
AFREC is seeking an experienced and hands-on Senior Communications Officer to lead the communications program in Nigeria, with attention to providing strategic advice to complex development projects the Bank supports in the country. Given the size of the investment portfolio in Nigeria, and the country's critical importance to the region, the Senior Communications Officer will on occasion lead teams on communications projects and may recruit and manage consultants to work on communications work.
Collaborating with AFREC professionals in the region and in Washington, DC, the Senior Communications Officer will also support corporate communications priorities, including dissemination of World Bank flagship publications, executive visits to the region, and the Bank's Annual and Spring meetings. This is a locally recruited staff position based in Abuja.

The electronics manufacturer Bosch, together with the German energy company Wien Energie, presented a refrigerator that runs on blockchain technology.
This is reported in the press release Wien Energie.
The refrigerator uses blockchain - the technology on which cryptocurrencies operate - in order to determine from which source electricity comes and to inform the user about it. The user, in turn, will be able to choose a supplier.
"This means that everyone decides for himself where the electricity comes from: from the solar photovoltaic system, from the neighboring building or from the wind power plant," explains Wien Energie.

Hey Doc,
I'll admit, this isn't a question related to romantic relationships, but rather to familial relationships, although I do believe that the advice I'll receive could be generalized to friendships and other relationships:
I've finished university, I've started a job hunt, I'm moving into a place that I've found, and I'm ready to get out into the world and be An Adult (TM). Unfortunately, one of my parents does not appear to be ready for that. Parents, they worry, right? And they wonder what their kids are up to, right? Well, I think there is an extent to which a parent can worry before it becomes excessive AND MY MOTHER HAS CROSSED THAT THRESHOLD SEVERAL TIMES OVER.
I've lived away from home for the entire decade I spent in university, yet I get "Catch a taxi or a bus home, don't walk; let me know when you get home." texts even though I know the city well enough to know when and where I can walk alone safely. Heck, I'm expected to text "Good night" every single night.
I receive texts multiple times per day, every day. Each answered text often leads to a flood of buzzing as I end up in a text version of "Twenty Questions". And heaven forbid if I choose to ignore a text. "Hello?" "HELLO?" "HELLOOOOOOO". Then come the phone calls. And more texts until I answer. Heck, today I decided to stop responding to a line of questioning to take a dump and grab a shower. Twenty minutes – five phone calls (three to my cell, two to the landline) and multiple texts.
Nothing is off limits. How was my day? What am I doing? Where am I? Am I at home? How was such-and-such-thing I mentioned doing? Have I done this or that thing that I'm supposed to do? And, in the case of the latter, CONSTANT AND REPETITIVE REMINDERS TO DO THESE THINGS. Deep down, I'm convinced that she genuinely does not believe me to be capable of doing ANYTHING without these reminders and without hand-holding through the entire process.
And the automatic justification "It's a mother thing." that brushes off any and all inappropriate behaviour. And there's no reasoning with her. In one ear and out the other. "Mothers, they worry" just wipes away the dependency and anxiety issues that literally everyone I know comments about when I tell them anything that she does.
Anyways, now that I'm moving to a new place and entering a new phase in my life, I believe it's essential that I create and enforce A LOT OF BOUNDARIES. So I'm looking for some advice as to how to do so effectively. I don't want to cut her out of my life entirely, but I would like for her to not be a constant, nagging presence. "Do you miss me?" "No, I can't miss you. You won't leave me alone!"

Whispermill is a crop that produces a seed.[1]
" The window was latched with some kind of long bar on the other side, probably fitted into slots across the back of the shutters. Fortunately, these stormshutters weren't as tight as those in other towns; they probably didn't need to be, down here safe in the trenches. She let the vines wind around the branches, drinking of her Stormlight, then twist around her arms and squeeze through cracks in the shutters. The vines stretched up the inside of the shutters, pressing up the bar that held the shutters closed, and...
And she was in. She used the last of her awesomeness to coat the hinges of the shutters, so they slid against one another without a hint of a sound. She slipped into a boxlike stone room, lifespren pouring in behind her, dancing in the air like glowing whispermill seeds. "

Every person collins computing running any kind of kind of service is always attentive to locate the best business source preparation software system for their company, however it is not an easy job. There is no generic ERP software program remedy that will automatically assure an effective organisation, and lots of business proprietors will certainly commonly have to consider trial and error strategies in order to learn on their own one of the most possible options ideal for their company – yet this takes a great deal of significant effort and time.
Have a concept of your business's objectives, along with what you want your company to complete. It is easy to obtain a business option that seems encouraging or attractive, yet if it does not adjust with the goals you desire your business to complete, after that the solution comes to be ineffective. Make certain that you as well as the managers in your firm are well-aware of the strategies you desire to attain – ERP software program solutions as well as ERP software application systems that focus on these methods are the ones you want to look out for.
If the company operations have no real requirement of the modern technology being marketed, then it ends up being a barrier as well as an unwanted cost, instead than as an asset to the firm. Discovering an ERP execution software that gives excellent factors why you require particular innovations, rather than haphazardly using technological options tat a business may not even require.
3. While the wonders of a perfectly crafted business venture solution will certainly constantly sound like the very best choice to take, you still nevertheless have to take the long term financial investments in mind. An ERP software application might seem overpriced at first, but if it is able to address most recognized issues by the company, then it is a specifically excellent financial investment. If the ERP system is affordable, but does not highlight the essential organisation techniques that the business requires, after that the price does not make it always a valuable device. Do not choose an ERP remedy since a rival firm is doing so, as well as is doing well with it. Each organisation is run in a different way, as well as what can help one, might not do so for the other.
It is constantly a good suggestion to ask inquiries regarding the ERP organisation remedies being used, whenever feasible. A great ERP integration right into the company means that the software application needs to flow well with your existing service procedures.
Make sure that you and also the supervisors in your business are well-aware of the approaches you desire to achieve – ERP software remedies and ERP software program systems that focus on these methods are the ones you want to look out for.
If the firm operations have no genuine requirement of the innovation being marketed, then it ends up being an obstacle as well as an unwanted cost, rather than as a possession to the business. Locating an ERP application software program that gives great factors why you need specific innovations, rather than carelessly using technical services tat a firm may not also need.

Good Day. A pretty short post today as I had a very late evening. This past Monday when I got home Jeanne said there is a strange message for you on the answering machine.
I did not recognize the voice but the name was vaguely familiar to me. I called the number he left and it turned out to be Al Turner a friend of mine from the past. Al and I served on the Maryville Police Department over 40 years ago.
We worked the midnight shift for several years together and developed a pretty good friendship. I saw him about 15 years ago when he and his wife of 42 years Pat were traveling through town. He called me then. Angie and I went to meet them at the casino restaurant at the harbor and had dinner with them. I'm not sure where Jeanne and Mark were that evening but Jeanne didn't get a chance to meet Al.
Over the years she has heard many stories about Al and I. Yesterday he called me and said that they were spending the night in Galena and would we like to get together for dinner. So we met them in Galena and spent the next 4 hours reliving some old memories. Great fun. Sadly many of the guys I served with have since passed away.
Al and Pat started a sporting goods store after he left law enforcement and they have since sold the business, retired, and do a lot of traveling now. It was wonderful to see and visit with them but I finally had to say, "Look you guys are retired now and can sleep in. We have to work tomorrow so goodnight." 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and Al thank you for giving me a call. All of you be careful.

The Henry
Lending - Fannie Mae - $37M
Greystone provided a $37,000,000 Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) loan to refinance The Henry in Tacoma, WA. The loan was originated by Tom Meunier of Greystone's Newport Beach, CA office.
The Henry's refinance replaces a previous Fannie Mae DUS 7/6 ARM loan provided by Greystone in 2016. This allowed the borrowing entity time to apply for and obtain its Green Globes for New Construction certification, in order to obtain long-term fixed rate financing for the property.
The Henry is a newly-constructed Class-A mid-rise building comprising 161 residential units with six floors. Offering ground-level commercial space, the property is ideally situated along the Tacoma Foss Waterway with convenient access to the area's restaurants, museums and shopping. The Henry's amenities include a resident lounge, fitness center, picnic area/courtyard, and dog park.
"As a newly-constructed property, once The Henry received its green certification, it qualified for new loan incentives from Fannie Mae – including lower, long-term fixed rates which provided greater loan proceeds. In addition, the building's energy efficient systems are a direct benefit for the tenants," said Tom Meunier.

AfghanistanThe political and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan remains a dangerous one, particularly for women. In the Open Debate on the Secretary-General's regular report on Afghanistan, each participating UN member state should hold the Council, the Head of the UN Mission, and themselves to account for ensuring that women's rights are at the center of all efforts to promote sustainable peace in the country in line with SCR 1974 (2011) OPs 6(d), 11, 24, 34, 36 and 37. In these discussions, the Council and other UN member states should:
- Ensure that Afghan women play an active role in the Bonn Conference in December 2011, including shaping the agenda and outcome document;
- Support an increase in UN capacity to ensure humanitarian needs are addressed, including UNHCR and OCHA increasing their protection and humanitarian affairs officers in critical regional offices to address growing humanitarian needs resulting from conflict and drought. There must also be strong support for the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission;
- Support the Afghan government's development of an inter-ministerial plan to address the needs of displaced Afghans.
Côte d'IvoireCote d'Ivoire's conflict has been marked by grave violations of international law, in which women have often been subject to particular violence, including the killing of 7 women by former President Gbagbo's security forces during a peaceful demonstration. NGOs have documented large numbers of rapes both in Abidjan and in the far west of the country, in which all parties to the conflict are implicated in crimes, according to the international Commission of Inquiry. Many of these rapes, particularly in Abidjan, targeted women on political or ethnic grounds. Women in the far west were at times held captive for days and raped repeatedly. Impunity has defined Côte d'Ivoire for the last decade, but nowhere more so than for sexual violence: armed forces and civilians alike have been able to rape with almost no fear of prosecution. The Council must ensure that the UN strongly supports prosecutions of those implicated in sexual violence, and supports the provision of effective protection and care for victims and witnesses. This should include encouraging the government to permanently establish free emergency medical services for survivors of sexual violence, such as access to medical examinations, post-exposure prophylaxis drugs and antibiotics, psychosocial care, and follow-up consultations. In areas like the far west, where health infrastructure is often inadequate, the government should ensure sufficient coverage through training mobile teams and traditional healers. Bureaucratic barriers to investigations, such as expensive medical certificates that many police and gendarmes demand before beginning an investigation, should be abolished permanently. As Côte d'Ivoire establishes judicial and other mechanisms to deal with the grave crimes committed, the Security Council must fully support women's roles in designing and leading these initiatives. President Ouattara has taken steps toward establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), for example, but so far none of the three leaders named are women. For the TRC to meaningfully contribute to reconciliation efforts in Côte d'Ivoire, women should be given a leadership role and an effective voice in the body from the outset, to the finalization of its work. Côte d'Ivoire has a strong group of women in civil society who can provide an invaluable contribution to the TRC and efforts to achieve justice.
Darfur / South Sudan / SudanMany of Sudan's humanitarian and political problems remain unresolved, and there are serious threats to civilians in both North and South Sudan in the transitional months ahead. As the Council recalibrates its relationships with the two future countries, it should ensure women's groups are consulted prior to reconfiguration; that women's rights are fundamental to all planning and preparation for the reconfigured UN presence in the region; and that well-resourced gender expertise – including from within the two countries – is central to this configuration. Full cooperation should be extended to the Team of Experts (SCR 1888, OP 18), to help develop a rule of law system aimed at preventing sexual violence and ensuring full reparations for survivors. As the Council finalizes plans for the successor peacekeeping operation to the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), it should ensure protection of civilians as its top priority, and the necessary political support and resources to monitor and robustly respond to protection threats. Humanitarian access should be a key element of the mandate of any interim force(s), as is a continued UN presence in the North and the border areas, including at a minimum in Abyei, Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile. Specific recommendations for the Council include:
- Supporting the independent investigations of crimes of international human rights law and humanitarian law, in collaboration with the International Criminal Court;
- Pressuring both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) to cease violence in South Kordofan;
- Demanding that the Government of Sudan and the SAF guarantee access for the delivery of humanitarian aid and assistance to IDPs who have fled violence in South Kordofan.
- Encourage the Government of South Sudan to strengthen its obligations to uphold the human rights of its people, including through ratifying CEDAW without reservation, ensuring women's participation in the drafting process, and enshrining women's equal rights in the new constitution.
- Focus on SPLM/A reform, and renewed efforts at reconciliation and mediation.
- Support coordinated efforts to protect civilians from the threat of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which disproportionately targets civilians. This requires coordinated international and regional efforts to offer civilians effective warning of and protection against attacks, as well as a focus on the long-term security needs in more remote areas.

If you are experiencing water leaks, it is an obvious signal that the roof of your home has become damaged and compromised. There are other indicators that may tell you that your roof is in need of a professional Connecticut roofing contractor to perform repairs. It is important to conduct inspections on your roofing to learn of any potential damages. The earlier you notice and circumvent any damages, the less you will need to spend on future repairs. If you do not have the proper equipment or knowledge, it is recommended that you hire an experienced roofing repair specialist to perform these duties.
There are numerous less noticeable factors, which allow water intrusion, that are often overlooked by homeowners throughout Connecticut. Minuscule roof leaks can create rotten wood and even mold and mildew, just as easily as much larger roof leaks can. However, small roof leaks can become more dangerous because they are often not discovered, by homeowners that do not have knowledge of roof installation or repair. If these small leaks are not repaired in a timely manner, then complete roof replacement may be necessary.
Signals which indicate roof damage or a leak:
- There are ppots on your exterior walls.
- You notice missing shingles or debris in your gutters and downspouts.
- The vents are loose and your walls are expanding.
- You noce a moldy or musty smell.
Based in Berlin, CT and serving residential and commercial property owners throughout the Hartford County area and beyond, A1 Home Improvement LLC offers visually appealing and durable roofing systems in a large selection of colors and materials, that will give your home the appearance you've always desired.

The algorithms of life and death: how to understand artificial intelligence that can heal people?
When it comes to the application of machine learning, most often the conversations are about the medical field. This is not surprising: a huge industry that generates a phenomenal amount of data and revenue, in which technological advances can improve or save the lives of millions of people. Hardly a week goes by without the appearance of research which suggests that the algorithms will better experts to identify pneumonia or Alzheimer's disease — diseases of complex organs, from the eye to the heart. And all this goes, but…
The problems of overcrowded hospitals and overworked nurses are poisoning public health system, and increase the cost of private health system. And here, again, the algorithms offer a tempting solution. How many times actually need to visit a doctor? Is it possible to replace these visits smart chatbot — which will be equipped with portable diagnostic tests using the latest achievements in the field of biotechnology? Unnecessary visits could be reduced and patients could be diagnosed and referred to specialists quickly, without waiting for the initial consultation.
As in the case of artificial intelligence algorithms, the goal is not to replace doctors but to give them the tools to reduce daily or recurring pieces of work. With an AI that can explore thousands of scans per minute, "boring stuff" remains on the machines, and doctors can focus on those parts of work that require more complex, subtle, based on judgments about the best methods of treatment and the patient's needs.
High stakes
And yet, as in the case with the algorithms of AI, there are risks associated with their use — even for tasks that are considered mundane. Problems algorithms a "black box" that take inexplicable decisions, serious enough when you are trying to understand why an automated chatbot-the recruiter is not impressed by your story during the interview. In the health context, where decisions can mean life or death, the consequences of algorithmic failure can be fatal.
Neural networks do an excellent job with handling large amount of training data and linkages, the absorption of underlying patterns or logic of the system in the hidden layers linear algebra; whether detection of skin cancer by photos or writing pseudosclerosis language. However, they are terribly explain the underlying logic of the relationship they discovered: there is something more than just a string of numbers, the statistical weights between the layers. And they can't distinguish correlation from causation.
Raises an interesting dilemma for medical professionals. The dream of big data in medicine is to provide neural network "huge amounts of data about health," locating complex, implicit relationships and make an individual assessment of patients. What if the algorithm would be unreasonably effective in the diagnosis of the health status or treatment assignment, but you will not have a scientific understanding of how this relationship actually works?
Too many threads that need to be untangled
The statistical models that underlie these neural networks often assume that variables are independent from each other, but in a complex, interactive system like the human body, it is not always the case.
In a sense, this is a known concept in medical science there are many phenomena and relations that have been observed for decades, but is still poorly understood on a biological level. Paracetamol is one of the most popular painkillers, but still in active discussions about his actions. Practitioners may seek to use any tool, is most effective, regardless of whether it is based on deep scientific understanding. Fans of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics can rephrase that as "Shut up and heal!".
Of course, in this area is ongoing debate about whether or not do we run the risk with this approach is to overlook the deeper understanding that will ultimately prove more fruitful — for example, to search for new drugs.
In addition to the philosophical flourishes, there are practical problems: if you don't understand the black box of medical algorithm, how to approach the issues of clinical trials and regulation?
May require transparency with regard to the functioning of the algorithm — data that he looks at the threshold values on the basis of which draws conclusions or gives advice, but this can conflict with the motives of profit and the pursuit of secrecy in medical start-UPS.
One solution might be to delete the algorithms which are unable to explain themselves or rely on well understood medical science. But it may prevent people to reap the benefits of useful work such algorithms.
Evaluation of algorithms
New algorithms in the field of health will not be able to do what physics did with quantum mechanics, because it is not deployed in the field. Many algorithms are improved working in the field. How do we choose the most promising approach?
Create a standardized system of clinical trials and testing, which equally applies to algorithms that work in different ways or using different input data will be challenging. Clinical trials that use samples of small size, for example, algorithms that try to personalize treatment for individuals will also be challenging. With small samples and weak scientific understanding of what is happening it will be impossible to determine, the algorithm has succeeded or failed, because he may be good in General, but to show a bad example.
Add to this mix the training and the picture becomes even more complicated. "More importantly, the ideal algorithm in the "black box" is plastic and is constantly updated, so the traditional model of clinical trials is not appropriate because it relies on a static product that is subject to stable rating".
I need to customize the whole system of medical and clinical trials.
Achieving balance
The health history reflects the history of artificial intelligence in many aspects. It is no coincidence that IBM tried to change the healthcare field, using its artificial intelligence Watson.
The balance will have to be found. We have to find a way to process big data, to use the terrible power of neural networks and to automate reasoning. We should be aware of the shortcomings and biases of this approach to solving problems.
We should welcome these technologies because they can be a useful addition to the skills, knowledge and understanding that can give people. Like neural networks, our industry needs to learn, expanding this cooperation in the future.

Office rents rose an average 12% around the world last year, driven by worldwide economic expansion, with Mumbai increasing enough to make it the world's fifth most expensive city, a Cushman & Wakefield study found.
That compares with a 4.3% increase in 2005, according to the "Office Space Across the World" study released today by Cushman & Wakefield, the world's second-largest real estate brokerage. Africa and the Middle East had the biggest increases, with rents rising 32% in the region. Rents rose in 74% of the 211 markets in 51 countries surveyed and declined in only 6%, the New York-based real estate brokerage said. Office rents have been boosted by economic growth around the world, with the driving force in most markets being the success of the financial services industry, Cushman said. A stock market recovery, record levels of mergers and acquisitions, and a rise in the sophistication of financial markets globally have spurred expansion, the company said. "The global economic expansion became much more synchronized in 2006," Ken McCarthy, managing director for research services at Cushman, said in an interview. "Over the past several years, we've seen growth in areas like China, India and the US, but not as much in areas like Europe. Now it's pretty much across the board."
The world's most expensive office markets last year were London's West End, with average annual occupancy costs of $246.17 per square foot (€2,009 per square meter); Tokyo's central business district, at $182.88 per square foot; Hong Kong, at $177.78; and Paris, at $123.98. London and Paris maintained their year-earlier rankings, while Tokyo and Hong Kong switched positions. The average rent in Mumbai's Worli market more than doubled to $120.15 per square foot, moving its worldwide ranking up six places from No. 11 a year earlier and making it a more expensive place to rent office space than such cities as Milan, New York and Dubai. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., UBS AG and Credit Suisse First Boston all expanded in Mumbai last year, Cushman said. "It's the combination of the information technology industry and the financial services sector," McCarthy said. "Those are the two that have significantly increased their demand in India for the outsourcing industry." While rents in New York's Midtown Manhattan market rose 28% to $81.93 a square foot, its position worldwide dropped to No. 7 from No. 5, having been pushing down by Mumbai and Dublin, whose ranking moved up to No. 6 from No. 12 after rents increased 43% from a year earlier in the central districts of Dublin 2 and Dublin 4.

Estienne stops at chapter 21 because he loathes the "New Jerusalem" in chapter 22. Essential he is with Enoch in saying it will not happen. Note mount Zion in Golden, Colorado.
The Book of Revelation was written by the Phrygians
"I am the Alpha and Omega" appears four times. This is the progeny of Jove self-identifying as Phoenicians, the invention of the alphabet being perhaps their greatest accomplishment in those times.
The Book of Revelation was written by the Phrygians, specifically by the Montanists, if not by the priest Montanus himself. Constantine The Great took control of the church in Rome in part so that it could be included in the Bible.
Canonical history
Revelation was the last book accepted into the Christian biblical canon, and to the present day some churches that derive from the Church of the East reject it. Eastern Christians became skeptical of the book as doubts concerning its authorship and unusual style were reinforced by aversion to its acceptance by Montanists and other groups considered to be heretical. This distrust of the Book of Revelation persisted in the East through the 15th century. —Wikipedia, Book of Revelation
Here it is worth noting that the Church of the East preserved Luke 21:11. In the one case, the progeny of Jove is trying to delete something from the Bible (Luke 21:11) and in the other they are trying to add something (Revelation). My money is on the Church of the East.
The Book of Revelation is the 27th book of the New Testament and the 66th book of the Bible. These people cannot help themselves when it comes to sacred numbers. Unless and until you understand this fundamental trait of the progeny of Jove, you will not be able to track their movement through history. It is their one great weakness. They cannot help but leave their mark on things, not unlike the branding of cattle. And their mark is sacred numbers.
This book was not added to the biblical canon until almost 400 years after the birth of Christ Jesus. And it is unlike any other book in the New Testament. I find the popular belief that it was written by a Christian and that it has anything whatsoever to do with Christ Jesus to be absurd.
The Book of Revelation was planted in the New Testament. It is not a revelation. It is propaganda. Specifically, it is critically important misdirection intended for the masses at the end times.
One of the few things I count extremely hard to understand is that the author of the Book of Revelation was either given extreme latitude in writing these supposed prophecies so that they would sound as if they were written by a Christian, or he may actually have been a Christian. Here is the paragraph before the last one in Revelation 13 in which the "number of the beast" is mentioned:
If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
What he is saying here is essential that they will not succeed. Their plans will fail. I long ago concluded that the author of this book was closely connected to the progeny of Jove, necessarily one of them, but secretly or in the process of writing the book became a believer in the man he was studying. From where I stand, I hear the voice of someone saying "these guys are really smart, but not so much so that I cannot speak directly to you."
False Prophesy (Misdirection) in the End Times
The Book of Revelation includes a self-validating "prophesy" concerning the state of Israel, which is the primary reason it was authorized by the progeny of Jove. The Jews are being corralled back into Palestine for their complete and total annihilation. If religion is an anathema to the progeny of Jove, Judaism is their oldest foe in this regard. They are intent on the total destruction of these people.
The Book of Revelation is all about misdirection. Its primary purpose is to "prophesy" the formation of the state of Israel and then state (falsely) that the Temple will be rebuilt before the end. It will not, but the so-called "prophecy" about Israel was apparently so miraculous that everyone is standing around twiddling their thumbs waiting for the Temple to be rebuilt so that the end can come. This is the misdirection. This is why the Book of Revelation exists.
In religion, a false prophet is one who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or who uses that gift for evil ends. —Wikipedia
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
In the Book of Revelation, the "false prophet" is always closely tied to the beast. In the end, they are both thrown into the "lake of fire." I propose that in this case, when the author refers to the "false prophet" that he is referring to the false prophecies in the Book of Revelation, the very ones he is being forced to write and that are discussed on this page.
The entire purpose of WWII was to create the state of Israel and make the Book of Revelation look as if it really were written by someone who could magically see into the future. This is part of the "If you can't beat'em, join'em" strategy that was implemented when the Roman elites (who were the progeny of Jove in their day) took control of the church in Rome at the end of the third century and bastardized the Christian religion. And it worked. A huge segment of the world population will not hesitate to explain to you that it is impossible for this world to be utterly destroyed by a catastrophe unless and until the Jews rebuild their Temple.
The rebuilding of the Jewish Temple is misdirection. This will never happen, but Christians will be complacent and unobservant of the end times, secure in their knowledge that the apocalypse cannot happen until the Jewish Temple is rebuilt. Why? Because the state of Israel was created, exactly as "prophesized" in Revelation. Ergo, the Book of Revelation must be the "word of God"? Right? Wrong! The Book of Revelation is one grand deception perpetrated over a period of more than 1,700 years. The rebuilding of the Temple is the very "false prophesy" the Book of Revelation abhors.
It's nonsense, but a necessary and critical part of their plan to keep us asleep. Real "prophecy" is extrapolating current events and trends into the future. In other words, it is a special kind of thinking, perhaps a gift or inspired, but not God tapping you on the shoulder and whispering stuff about the future into your ears because he thinks you are somehow special or better than your contemporaries. An example of real prophecy is Matthew 24:20 and Luke 21:11 ("and the winters will be severe"). Read that if you want a sure sign of the end times. The Progeny of Jove was concerned enough about the specificity of that prophesy that they tried, unsuccessfully, to remove from the Bible.
This deliberate misdirection extends to the so-called "anti-Christ" also. Everyone is waiting for him to show, like the play Waiting for Godot. The power of this misdirection at a psychological level is immensely important. It is a critical part of keeping the masses asleep in a deep state of hypnosis on a par with gradualism or the doctrine of Uniformitarianism. This is yet something else I count difficult to understand. At some profoundly deep level, the misdirection in the Book of Revelation that has everyone waiting for Godot (i.e. the "anti-Christ"), the doctrine of Uniformitarianism, the CIA backed "conspiracy theory" terminology, the Panem et Circenses (Bread and Circuses) of politics in the United States of America, etc., etc., etc., all of it combines so that at this critical moment in the history of our world, somewhere in the back of everyone's mind is a billboard flashing the message "It's just another day. Nothing special is going to happen tomorrow." Any why? Why is this so important? Oh my friend, the answer to that is simple. The Progeny of Jove has been planning for this event for thousands of years. They must maintain control of the airways and major traffic arteries up until the last moment in order to get everyone to what Virgil called the Vault Profound, the modern-day equivalent of their underground cities in Anatolia in which Phrygians survived the last great catastrophe.
So do not think for a minute that the author of Revelation is handing you some piece of information that can be used to divine exactly what is going to happen or when. As far as I know, I am the only person in the world who knows what 666 means, and it took me six years to figure it out. How do I know that I am right? I know their mindset. And I know like everything else that the answer would of necessity involves the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which along with the planet Jupiter has been counting down the days for thousands of years now. I know that I am right. I can say with complete and utter confidence that after 1,600 years of guessing by my fellow human beings, that you now know exactly what 666 means. It is an indirect pointer to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. See also The Militarization of Police Forces.
In exchange for planting very specific false prophesies and misdirection in the Book of Revelation, its authors were given carte blanche in the writing of it. They were Phrygians, but more importantly, they were Montanists, which is to say they were Christians. I do not wish to engage in an argument of whether Revelation was written at the request of the Romans or was an existing book they simply modified before adding it to the end of their New Testament canon. The important point to grasp is that it contains two messages, one scripted by the progeny of Jove (the Roman elites) and the other by Christians who were in an immensely unique position.
An Example of the Misdirection
one of millions that occur every day throughout the entire world
Here is a good example of how this misdirection has mesmerized the thought of good men who might otherwise be looking around and asking more important questions:
Patrick Heron believes the pagan Sibyl may actually have pointed to a false Christ who appears during the end times Apocalypse, and that the Novus Ordo Seclorum prophecy of a coming special "son" who leads mankind to a New World Order could be fulfilled anytime. According to scripture, Heron says, the near future will produce a man of superior intelligence, wit, charm, and diplomacy who will emerge on the world scene as a savior. He will seemingly possess transcendent wisdom that enables him to solve problems and to offer solutions to many of today's most perplexing issues. One of his most important accomplishments at the very outset will be to broker a peace treaty between the Jews and Palestinians. He will also lead the charge in rebuilding the long awaited Jewish Temple. This is especially interesting given that, just this month, an Israeli archaeologist and Hebrew professor claims to have pinpointed the exact location of the original Jewish Temple, a potentially important step toward the fulfillment of the Temple reconstruction prophecy.
According to some, this Antichrist will appear at first to be a man of distinguished character, but will ultimately become "a king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 8:23). With imperious decree he will facilitate a one-world government, a universal religion, and global socialism. Those who refuse his New World Order will inevitably be imprisoned or destroyed, until at last he exalts himself "above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thess. 2:4).
When asked why he believes prophetic signs at this point in history could be pointing to the Antichrist and the end of times, Patrick Heron says, "I believe God is warning people, giving them one last chance to believe before the judgments of God, as revealed in the Book of Revelation, begin to fall on earth." . —"Talk Of Apocalypse Reaches From US President Down"
The Utter Impossibility of Rebuilding the Temple
Most Jews do not even know where the former Temples were located. They can build a replica, but as I understand it the is the ultimate "location, location, location."
The Christians know where the former Temples were located.
The Temple Mount is not where the world thinks it is from the Hubcap _ Truth filter for You Tube channel:
And so do some Jews.

The "lake of fire burning with brimstone"
Main Article: The "Vault Profound" is a Deathtrap
As a Christian Scientist, few subjects disgust me more than the notion of "hell." God creates man imperfectly and then punishes him for eternity in the most savagely brutal manner conceivable and for what? For doing what God made him capable of doing, essentially failing to pass some goodness test of which the miscreant was not even made aware. This is not a God of Love. This is a bizarre, anthropomorphic idea of an "angry" god. Once in Arkansas, I attended a Baptist church because my dad was a Southern Baptist and there were no Christian Scientists in that town. I was really close to the preacher, but there was this second string preacher who visited from another branch once. He looked down at the congregation with what I can only describe as a bloodlust when explaining to us that even though you would burn forever in hell, there is no light there. Fire but no light. I'm sorry, but that's just plain sick.
Allow me to take a quick look at the text from which this notion of a "lake of fire" is taken.
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
In Genesis 19:24, Psalm 11:6, Ezekiel 38:22, and Luke 17:29 (almost every reference to "fire and brimstone" outside of Revelation), it is not in a lake but raining down from above. This is where it gets interesting because…
brimstone is sulfur
And when does it rain fire and sulfur?
I would think raining down "fire and brimstone" as being more like this picture:
Okay, now if you have read this entire page and are paying attention, I think you can see where I am going with this. The author of Revelation knows. The Vault Profound is parked next to Yellowstone, a supervolcano or what Revelation calls the bottomless pit. I discuss this in The Bottomless Pit (supervolcanoes). Before I would turn this text into some absurd notion of "hell," I would argue that the author of Revelation knows about the deathtrap discussed on page № 33. Virgil's "Vault Profound" in the Front Range. It is the progeny of Jove he is consigning to hell. Their hell is discussed in detail on this page. If you would like to know more about this letter, watch this video:
Albert Pike's 3 World Wars from the Real-World-News YouTube channel:
Please ignore the overtly Christian comments at the end of this video.
666, the "Mark of the Beast" is discussed elsewhere
This subject is addressed in a separate page
Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
For a discussion of this specific text, see 666, The Mark of the Beast
Research Notes
See also Revelation 18 from the № 6. 2017 versus 2018 page
cut from somewhere else…
The Book of Revelation was written by the Phrygians. It is misdirection. Yes, it correctly predicted the formation of the state of Israel, the return of the Jews to their Promised Land. But the Progeny of Pythagoras started WWII. Herding the Jews back to the Middle East was one of the war's two main objectives (the other being to throttle down population growth). Doing so makes the Book of Revelation seem to be just that, the "inspired word of God." Far from it. The Jews are being corralled in the former land of Palestine because, for geographical reasons I will address in a separate page, it is one of the last places on Earth you would want to be right now. In fact, the only other place I can think of that is more sure to be completely destroyed by the coming axial tilt is the West Coast of the United States of America. No one survives in either of these locations. The misdirection is things like the rebuilding of the temple. This will never happen.

Nearly everything in life needs a little maintenance to keep it in tip-top shape. Our homes, our cars, our bodies, and even our pets need scheduled "maintenance." When we neglect what needs attention, we often see it deteriorate in quality. This may not always be immediate. In most cases, it isn't. Rather, a lack of maintenance results in a steady decline in quality that one day hits you over the head and you ask yourself, "how did I let this happen?!"
The same is true for your school's website.
It needs maintenance, attention and updating — constantly to keep it performing at its highest capability. And when you don't give your school's website content its very own scheduled maintenance, you run the risk of letting it deteriorate in quality and effectiveness.
That being said, what kind of scheduled maintenance does your website content need? And how often? What content really matters, and what content can you skip? Today, I'm taking to the Finalsite Blog to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about school website content management.
1. Why do I need to change my website content?
Your school's website is your most important marketing tool and in some cases, the first impression you ever make. It's the home for your new library building campaign, annual fundraiser, sports event tickets, online admissions applications, summer camp registration, school merchandise, online tuition payments — the list goes on and on.
So, a one-off investment of time isn't going to cut it.
First of all, your repeat website visitors expect that you'll update content, add photos from the latest event, write new, interesting stories, and blog frequently. But even more importantly, prospective students will visit your school's website numerous times throughout the process, and stale content (you know, that news story from last December that is still on your homepage) can be a major deterrent.
2. What types of content do we need to update?
Granted, you don't have to update your entire website on a yearly basis, but there are a few key pieces of content on your school's website that need updating:
- Visual Content (photos and video)
- Homepage hero slider content (whether it be images or video)
- News content
- Blog content
- Interior page content
- Calls-to-Action
3. How often should I change my website's visual content?
At a bare minimum, you should update homepage slideshows and header images at the beginning of each new school year. However, if you have the resources, consider updating your photos throughout the year. For example, schools like Harrow and Dover College update their homepage hero images to reflect how their campus and community changes throughout the year. If you don't have the resources for seasonal updates, opt to add something fresh at the beginning of each school year, and after you send acceptance letters out.
Photos that are not integral to your design — like photo albums from plays, alumni events, and athletic events — can stay on your site longer. As long as you continue to add photos, older ones can stay put.
Videos are evergreen content, especially compared to the rest of the content on your website. They're also a much bigger investment. Due to both of these factors, you can replace your school's main admission / marketing video every 2-3 years. And yes, it's OK to have testimonials from students who have graduated!
You should review your text content at the same time you review your photos. A slight clean-up should be done annually based on page performance. Pages with high bounce rates and high exit rates should receive the most attention.
If you always want to have fresh content, without the added task of manually updating banners, use social media feeds on your school's homepage to automatically curate fresh, new images daily. For inspiration take a look at the homepage of Choate Rosemary Hall school website in the US.
4. How often should I post news and events?
You should update your news events frequently and consistently. Be timely. No one wants to read about something months after it's happened.
During admissions season in particular, refreshing this kind of content is essential as it's during admissions season, you're getting more website traffic than ever — as students check open day dates, apply online, and check application statuses. If they're seeing the same photos, news and events every time they visit your website, they get bored and uninterested, which is going to make filling those seats even harder.
5. How often should my school blog?
A school blog is one of the most difficult content marketing projects to get off the ground because you need a dedicated set of writers and a content plan to make it work. While the necessity to blog changes from school to school, the easiest way to generalise a rule is as follows:
- If the purpose of your school's blog is to increase organic website traffic, ideally you'll want to blog 3 times per week with quality content.
- If the purpose of your school's blog is simply share quality content, then blogs don't need to occur multiple times per week. However, aim for one blog per week (or one blog per newsletter cycle) to remain consistent.
6. How often do I need to update my Calls-to-Action?
Call-to-Action buttons are one of the most infrequently updated pieces of content. Yet, at different times of the school year, your school's admission, marketing, academic and advancement teams all have different goals. And therefore, your calls-to-action should change with them.
Calls-to-Action won't necessarily be changed on a particular schedule, but rather, updated in certain areas of the aspect when needed to draw website traffic to a particular campaign or page.

- Design
- Inbound Marketing
- Technology

Well, I hope you all are having a great weekend, and I am so mad yet that my friend stood me up on saturday. The last thing I wanted to do was not be at the market for you all, but on the upside, you will all have untill this weekend to do the challenges and find code words to claim your prizes..
Amyway for the first file I wanted it to be something that everyone would get use out of. So after thinking about it and looking through hundreds of files I think I found a winner.
Card Portfolio TemplateIf you make a card with a lot of embellishments which you don't want smashed into a flat envelope, this gusseted Card Portfolio is for you! It will also hold about six hand-made cards and envelopes—a lovely gift for a loved one! Check out the sample at the bottom of this page.
Tip: Depending on your printer's capabilities, you will probably have to enlarge the template by hand or using a copier. I designed it for cards that are one-quarter of a standard (8.5 x 11) sheet of paper, but it is easy to reduce or enlarge the template for any size card. Simply make the two large rectangles the measurement of your card (or envelope), plus 1/8 inch on each side. Widen the flap accordingly. The other sides (gussets) should stay the same width.
Design idea: Cut Card Portfolio out of freezer paper, and iron your favorite fancy napkin or tissue wrapping paper to the shiny side. (Make sure that you are using only one ply of the napkin!) Use this as the inside of the portfolio—decorate the outside with lovely stamped images and a nice ribbon. It will make a lovely presentation for your beautiful art cards!
