In the 1880s, Alexander Graham Bell and his associates at Washington, DC's Volta Laboratory experimented with different methods of audio recording. These 19th century audio engineers immortalized snippets of nursery rhymes and a Shakespearean soliloquy to wax discs.
The recordings would languish in the National Museum of American History's archives for decades, as curators lacked the machinery to properly play these priceless early forays into recorded sound.
But thanks to some 21st century aural wizardry, researchers have been able to bring back six of the two-hundred Volta recordings.
Museum archivists worked with a team from the Library of Congress and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to carefully play these discs, which include such easy listening as a man pronouncing the word "barometer" and another fellow announcing, "It's the 11th day of March 1885."
It's unclear if any of the voices on the Volta recordings belong to Alexander Graham Bell, but it isn't improbable. Explains Berkeley Lab researcher Carl Haber of this heady time in audio engineering history:
From 1881 to 1885, they were recording sound mechanically. They recorded sound magnetically. They recorded sound optically, with light. They tried to reproduce sound with mechanical tools, also with jets of air and liquid. It was an explosion of ideas that they tried [...] There are periods of time when a certain group of people end up in a certain place and a lot of music gets created, or art-Paris in the 1920s and '30s. There are these magic moments, and I think that historians and scholars of technology and invention are viewing Washington in the 1880s as being one of those moments.

Peace and Security Remains a Challenge
Volume 1, Issue 1 / December 2008
Kakuma Refugee Camp hosts thousands of refugees from various nationalities who fled their home countries because of violence, war, or insecurity. Refugees came to seek refuge in Kenya in search for peace and security, to find a place free from threats and violence. Kakuma Refugee Camp has proven to offer some level of peace and security, but it is not satisfactory.
Many agencies provide services to help fight and prevent violence here in Kakuma Refugee Camp. The Peace Building Unit of Lutheran World Federation (LWF), for example, helps to resolve conflict between refugees, while the Child Unit of LWF helps to prevent child violence. The Gender Unit of LWF does a similar job, but focuses on fighting and preventing sexual and gender-based violence (known as SGBV). Agencies like LWF, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS), and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), play a significant role in promoting peace and security in the camp by providing training on issues such as human rights, peace, and security. These efforts by NGOs have made it possible for refugees to taste a state of peace and security.
Unfortunately, these efforts have not proven to be sufficient. There remain many cases of violence committed upon children, women, and refugees in general. One reason for this may be the fact that most refugees experienced or witnessed various kinds of violence in their home country. As a result, they may tend to behave violently. In the last month, for example, a Somali man was stabbed in the stomach by a Somali woman. This incident happened after they had argued over the length at which the man's fence should extend into the woman's compound. Another example of such behavior can be seen during shows on Premier League games. Afterwards, young men may fight over as small an issue as being harassed unexpectedly. Refugees tending to behave in this way create an environment that is prone to violence and insecurity.
A general sense of insecurity arises from thieves in the local and refugee communities who steal, beat, break into refugee homes, and sometimes kill. Having witnessed people killed by bandits, many refugees return to their houses early and avoid walking at night to prevent being surprised by thieves. Compound fencing made of strong tree branches is commonly used to prevent trespassing.
In such conditions, refugees cannot live or work happily. To live in peace and security, everyone needs to be free from violence and feel safe and protected against threats. Life in Kakuma Refugee Camp is not truly secure because refugees live constantly with worries of thieving and violence.
Two Cases of Insecurity
From Kakuma One to Kakuma Four, it is almost impossible to spend a month without hearing of a new insecurity case. Although most of these cases are recorded and kept in various units within LWF, I managed to talk to two refugee victims of insecurity who were willing to be interviewed for KANERE.
Elizabeth lives in the Equatorial Community, and is a 28-year old mother of four children. In July of this year, the Kenyan police forces clashed with refugees in Kakuma One. While she was rocking and singing to her baby child, a stray bullet happened to pierce her left arm. She did not feel or notice anything. Her neighbors were first to notice the bleeding and asked her what was wrong. Only then did ElizabethMain Hospital for treatment. After six days, Elizabeth was discharged with her left arm still swollen from the wound. notice her own bleeding and was rushed to the
Although her bullet wound has since healed, Elizabeth continues to feel pain in her arm. She says this pain prevents her from doing daily work and carrying heavy loads. As a result, she feels very limited. Being a mother of four, she wants to give all that she has to her family, but the bullet wound has prevented her in fulfilling this goal completely.
Mesfin Getachun is a 35-year old Ethiopian man living in Kakuma camp. He owns a shop in the Ethiopian Market and was attacked by an unknown group of armed bandits in March of this year. Around 2:00 a.m., bandits managed to penetrate the well-fenced perimeter of the Ethiopian Market and break the heavy chain lock on the front door of his shop. Neighbors startled by the noise began screaming, and the bandits reacted by shooting. This sparked immediate panic and silence ensued for a short time. After a pause, the bandits entered Mesfin's store and took an unspecified amount of money, mobile phone scratch cards, and other goods. After finishing, the bandits began to exit the community area, shooting into the air as they went. They encountered a small group of people and shot at them, while shooting at any doorway where they suspected people may be trying to escape. Several people were wounded by bullets in the fray.
Fortunately, Mesfin was not sleeping in his house that night. He reports that it is only by God's mercy that he was not present in his house during the robbery. Since the incident, Mesfin no longer lives peacefully and continually remembers all that he went through.
These are only two examples among many cases of insecurity in Kakuma camp. Like Elizabeth, some victims of insecurity experience permanent changes in their life due to violence. Today, Elizabeth cannot give all her energy and strength to her lovely family. For Mesfin, he cannot forget the hand of the mighty God who provided for him that fateful night. Elizabeth, Mesfin, and other victims of insecurity undergo unique experiences that change their ability, attitudes, faith, thoughts, and perspectives on life.

Excerpt from a blog posting on KANERE at the Humanitarian Futures Programme blog: "Blog posts include investigative journalism on lack of fair pair for work conducted, persistent water and security concerns, and reported threats and intimidation by camp administrators for speaking out on these issues…"
well!! (gvt) government of kenya tried to inforce a good security forms of trial but still crying of refugees in to their homes still exsist. lives of majority comes to be in dilema.
UNHCR and LWF peace force should not forget their work in the camp. what so far i can say about people working in the camp as appointed to do the work were all about knowing. so the word of (knowing)

Designing a functional business website is an essential step in business today. There is not much hope for forward progression in your company without a well designed business site. If you are running a small business, odds are, you are the chosen web designer.
Novice designers build successful websites every day. The key is to put in the time to research just what people are truly looking to find. Take a moment, and begin your research now. Here are a few absolutely essential aspects of a well-designed business website.
Winning aspects of homepage design
When it comes to homepage design, you want to invest in attention grabbers. Ask yourself what you can do to immediately grab the attention of passing web users. It is estimated that designers have less than ten seconds to interest viewers before they move on to another website.
Do not clutter your site's homepage with ads and sales information. Allow viewers the chance to get a feel for your company before proposing that they spend their money. Use a clean and concise layout to make your homepage look more professional.
Keep the lines of communication clear
Communication is one of the most important, foundational concepts of business. If you cannot communicate, then your business has a very bleak future. Your website should provide every opportunity possible for people to make contact with someone in the company.
Provide active email information, fax numbers, phone numbers, and even a brick and mortar address on your contact page. This example page is like many "Contact Us" designs, utilizing a simple contact form template.
Blog entries spread out your content
Building an eclectic collection of informative blog posts on your business website is one of the most effective ways to make your site more visible. Invest in the quality of your blog posts, as there are plenty of mindless rants online.
The subject matter of your blog posts should be relevant to the purpose of your business. Advancements in the industry, managerial tips, and much more can keep your business blog going for quite some time.
Share a bit about the company's professionals
Create an informative "About Us" page for your company website, highlighting the accomplishments of some of your most pivotal professionals. When visitors see that your professionals are thoroughly competent in their positions, they will feel more competent about their purchase.
Answer those nagging questions
Do not leave out the essential "Frequently Asked Questions" page when designing your business website. Preparing a list of questions that frequently pop up in your customer service queue will save your company time and money. It will also save your web users some undue frustration.

From the incredible feats of Marti Sementelli and Ghazaleh Sailors to the hard-to-believe tales about Bubba Starling, we look back at the stories that made this a compelling year of high school baseball.
Female Pitchers Marti Sementelli & Ghazaleh Sailors Make History
Marti Sementelli of Birmingham (Van Nuys, Calif.) and Ghazaleh Sailors of San Marcos (Santa Barbara, Calif.) made history in the spring when they became the first girls to pitch against each other in a high school baseball game. Sementelli helped Birmingham to a 6-1 win by tossing a complete game, while Sailors fanned two over 3.1 innings and added a single off Sementelli.
Sementelli and Sailors also made headlines after the season by receiving college baseball scholarships. Sementelli signed with Montreat College in North Carolina and Sailors signed with Presque Isle in Maine.
The Legend of Bubba Starling
The stories about Starling resembled something straight out of "The Natural." He hit 500-foot home runs, threw 95-mph fastballs, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds — you get the picture. The scary part is that it was all true.
A two-sport star at Gardner-Edgerton (Gardner, Kan.), the senior signed a football scholarship to play quarterback for Nebraska but ultimately turned it down to sign with the Kansas City Royals, who selected the outfielder with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft.
New Regulations on Aluminum Bats
Due to safety concerns, in particular pitchers getting hit by line drives, the National Federation of State High School Associations passed a rule starting with the 2012 season that all high school baseball teams that play under NFHS guidelines have to use Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) aluminum bats. Simply put, it means balls will fly off the new bats at lower speeds, allowing pitchers more time to react and avoid injury.
California teams started following the new rules during the 2011 season after Marin Catholic (Kentfield, Calif.) pitcher Gunnar Sandberg was hit in the head with a line drive during a game in March of 2010 and spent three weeks in a coma.
New York City adopts pitch-count rule
New York City's Public Schools Athletic League also took action in the name of pitcher safety this season by adopting a pitch-count rule. Under the new guidelines, varsity pitchers can only throw 105 pitches in a game, while JV hurlers are limited to 90. So even if a pitcher is in the midst of throwing a no-hitter, they have to come out as soon as they reach 105 pitches.
Dylan Bundy Versus Archie Bradley
Friends since elementary school, the two top hurlers in the Class of 2011 unfortunately never got to pitch against each other this past season. Bundy, a senior right-hander at Owasso (Owasso, Okla.), and Bradley, a senior right-hander at Broken Arrow (Broken Arrow, Okla.), were scheduled to go head to head in a much-publicized matchup in the spring, but the game was rained out. Then, in the Class 6A state title game, Bundy wasn't able to go after pitching two days prior. Bradley took the bump and shut down Owasso, including three strikeouts of Bundy, to lead Broken Arrow to the crown.
Bundy got the best of Bradley once the season was over by snagging Gatorade National Athlete of the Year honors and being the first prep pitcher selected in the 2011 MLB Draft (No. 4 overall to Baltimore). Though Bradley wasn't exactly upset, as he went two spots after his buddy to Arizona.
Max Fried Joins Lucas Giolito at Harvard-Westlake
Imagine if Bundy and Bradley pitched on the same team. Well, two hurlers with similar talents will be teaming up in 2012 after senior lefty Max Fried was forced to leave Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.) when the school discontinued its athletic program this summer.
Fried decided to transfer to Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), where he'll be in the same rotation as stud senior right-hander and fellow UCLA signee Lucas Giolito. Oh, by the way, Fried and Giolito are arguably the two top pitchers in the Class of 2012 and potential top 10 picks in June. Good luck facing that tandem.
First-Round Pick Brandon Nimmo Didn't Play High School Baseball
Wyoming doesn't sponsor high school baseball, due in large part to the state's unpredictable spring weather. But that didn't stop Nimmo from getting noticed by major league scouts.
The Cheyenne East (Cheyenne, Wyo.) senior outfielder dominated American Legion ball for Cheyenne Post 6 and parlayed his play into a first-round selection by the New York Mets.
Chris Harvey, Taylor Gushue Enroll Early
Every year, numerous elite high school football players decide to graduate early and enroll in college in time for spring practice. But at least those players get to play high school ball their senior year.
Not so for standout catcher Chris Harvey of Germantown Academy (Fort Washington, Pa.), who enrolled at Vanderbilt a full year early this fall. Harvey would have been one of the nation's top players in the Class of 2012. Meanwhile, fellow elite '12 catcher Taylor Gushue of Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla.) will play for the Florida Gators this spring.
Buchanan (Clovis, Calif.) Makes Surprising Run to POWERADE FAB 50 Title
The Bears began the year at No. 31 in the POWERADE FAB 50 ESPNHS Team Rankings, but they were dealt a serious blow early on when star senior Jordan Luplow suffered an injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season.
But several players stepped up, including junior Dominic Topoozian (11-0 on the mound), to help Buchanan win the CIF Central Section Division I title, finish the year 30-2 and earn the top spot in the final FAB 50.
The 25th Area Code Games
Take a look at some of the top players in Major League Baseball, and a number of them share one thing in common — they are Area Code Baseball Games alums.
Superstars like Albert Pujols, Roy Halladay, Dustin Pedroia and Clayton Kershaw are just some of the big names who participated in the event, which celebrated its 25th year this summer at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif.

Leslie Roden Gary Roden
Jessica Roden Renee Roden
Located in New Tazewell, TN (423) 526-2093
Just north of Knoxville firstname.lastname@example.com
Welcome to Micro Yorkshire Terriers and the Roden Farm. Located near Knoxville, Tennessee, now only raise, Anatolian Shepherd Dogs for show, working, and pet homes. We also maintain a flock of commercial sheep. Our goal is to produce healthy, highest quality animals.
Below is historical information for reference only:
At Micro Yorkshire Terriers, we are passionate serious AKC breeders whose goals are to produce "breed standard" healthy Yorkies who are naturally affectionate therapy dogs. Our tiny, confident Baby doll or teddy bear faced friends will melt your heart! We frequently produce T-cup sized babies who will mature in the 3 to 4 lb range. While these terms are not recognized by AKC or The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, they are phrases that the general public commonly uses to describe the more petite Yorkies with delicate facial features which is commonly seen in my family of babies. While my major emphasis focuses on that "melt your heart face", balanced structure and movement, a flat top line, silky thick straight dark coats, and an outgoing confident affectionate personality are major influencing factors. Showing is so much fun, but it's more fun when YOU WIN!
I think showing dogs is the "candy' of life! There is nothing I enjoy more than a show trip with my Yorkies and daughter Jessica! My breeding goals are to produce show quality pups for myself only. Currently, I do not sell Yorkies for show or breeding, but rather keep some babies for myself and daughter to show, then bless other families with Show quality pets. As much as I would like to, I can't keep them all! We enjoy competing in AKC Conformation, Obedience, Rally, and Agility. Several of our dogs have both AKC and International Championship, AKC Rally, and Obedience titles Some are also are certified therapy dogs and have their AKC CGC awards.
Our puppies are all vet checked at 6 weeks old. Pups are not allowed to go to their new homes too young. Healthy mental development is as important as healthy physical development. Puppies need to be with both their mother and siblings to learn "dog social skills". When they do go home, they are well socialized up to date on vaccinations and deworming. With Micro Yorkshire Terrier, your investment is protected with a health guarantee. I DO NOT sell unhealthy pups and guarantee this. My goal is to add blessings to your family, not problems.
We raise our dogs in a home setting, not a kennel. All my dogs are housed in a community setting within the most actively used room in our house. They have free run with plenty of friends to play with. When relaxing time comes, you will find us on the sofa covered with our Yorkie friends.
Why buy a show quality dog??? Many people have come to me stating, "I don't want to show and don't need papers, I just want a pet to love". Never has a person come to me stating, "I'm looking for a mean, shy Yorkie that is ugly and unhealthy". The reason I chose to produce show quality babies is simply. I found that the qualities of a show dog, are the same qualities that someone looking for a life long friend want. Show dogs must be happy, confident,outgoing and friendly. They must have sound structure that will give them a long life without the pain of arthritis in their golden years. They must be lovely. All Yorkie puppies are cute, but what will they look like as adults? Adding a Yorkie to your family is a LONG term commitment. You can expect to spend the next 12 to 15 years with your new friend. Do you want to spend that time thinking, "your ugly, but sweet and I love you anyway and wouldn't trade you for the world. Maybe my next Yorkie will be exactly what I was looking for"... (the reality is, I've been there, done that) Or, do you want to spend those next 12 years thinking "YOU'RE PERFECT! Sweet, smart, healthy, lovely and I'm so proud of you! (been there and DONE THAT too!!! Believe me, it's much more fun!) Our kids may be more expensive that some, but the old saying "you get what you pay for" is a reality in life.
A very
common question
people ask me is
"What kind of payment I will take"
. I will accept the deposit using PayPal or in the form of cash or a check if you come to the house. The check must clear the bank before the pick up date. The balance is accepted in cash or by US Postal Money Order only. I have had trouble with other types of money orders in the past so I limit money orders to the US Postal Service types. If you want to pay the balance using PayPal, it can be done without additional expense if you already have the funds in your PayPal account and send it using the "Friends and Family" option. If you don't already have the funds in your PayPal account, they will put a hold on the transfer until the funds you send them clear. If you use the "pay for goods and services" tab, PayPal will charge a 3% fee which will need to be added to your total.
Concerning Sales Tax
, Tennessee considers "dogs" the same as any other "item" purchased in the state and the transaction is subject to Tennessee Sales Tax which I am required to collect then remit to the state. I have researched this in depth. If I ship a dog, I am required to collect the sales tax because Tennessee considers the transaction to have taken place in Tennessee. When you come to the house to pick the puppy up, the same situation exists. The only exception to the rule is if the purchase takes place out of state. If I deliver the puppy to another state and that is where the purchase took place, I do not have to collect the sales tax. If I do not collect the sales tax when I should have, Tennessee will expect me to cover the cost myself. Delivery options are available.
Hope you enjoy the web site. Drop me a note or give me a ring if you have any questions.

As we begin packing for our trip to Machu Picchu, one of the things we are supposed to bring on the trail is our own selection of snacks. And snacks on the trail means Gorp to us!
(The unofficial etymology of Gorp is "Good Old Raisins and Peanuts," but the OED says it probably comes from an English word meaning to eat greedily. Beware! Reading further my increase your appetite!)
We make up a separate bag of gorp for each day on the trail, more or less. And each one is a little different, so that we get lots of variety as we hike, even on a week-long trip.
The mix for each day always starts with M&Ms. Gotta have that chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your pack. And the dark chocolate ones, please. Milk chocolate is chocolate lite--not for real people.
Then we add an equal amount of nuts. Sometime walnuts, sometimes almond, cashews, or pecans. Each day is different.
Then we add an equal amount of dried fruit. Here again, variation is the rule. We love craisins, and use raisins, as well. We also have been know to chop up apricots, apples, bananas, and even ginger to add a little spice.
Shake the bag, seal it up, and move on to the next day. Let's see...this time with craisins, pecans, and ginger...ummmmm!

With so many ways to market small businesses, business owners need to take advantage of several ideas to maintain and grow a solid client base. Marketing a day spa includes building a website, engaging in social marketing (facebook, twitter, youtube), direct mail marketing, email marketing and in-person marketing. Use a variety of marketing techniques to educate potential clients of the many benefits your day spa has to offer. Reaching people and convincing them to try your services may be difficult at first, but the additional business is well worth the effort. Use both old and new marketing techniques to be the most successful.
Step 1
Identify your target market. Since day spas provide services, such as microdermabrasion, chemical facial peels, Botox injections and other anti-aging procedures, your target market is generally men and women over the age of 35 who want to look younger. These are typically working professionals, some who are divorced and want to look more attractive, while others lead active outdoor lives that may have taken a toll on their appearance.
Step 2
Advertise on the internet. Most people scour the internet for reviews from bloggers, sites like Yelp and Citisearch, and just on plain old Google. The internet has become the new "back yard friend" who helps people to decide where to go and why.
Step 3
Create a direct mail campaign to send postcards and brochures to those in your target market. Purchase a mailing list from a reputable marketing company (read reviews or visit the Better Business Bureau website for more information) or use the tools provided by the U.S. Postal Service or other delivery services to target those living in certain zip codes. Research the demographics of these areas online to find locations that match your target market group (over 35, working professionals). Many city and town websites describe neighborhoods on their websites along with the types of people who live there. Contact local real estate agents and ask where professional people over 35 typically live–and offer the agent a free service for the advice!
Step 4
Create a website to promote your day spa services online. Include your web address on all marketing materials. Ask clients to provide their email address to receive updates about services, discounts and other information. Offer discounts for customer referrals. Create a newsletter to promote better living or offer advice on skincare and other health issues. Providing valuable information to customers usually leads to long-term business relationships.
Step 5
Create a Facebook fan page to connect with clients and potential clients. Engage in Facebook advertising using specific keywords to target your market online. Provide valuable information to keep clients interested in your business.
Step 6
Participate in charity events, trade shows and other community events to promote your med spa. Hand out literature, business cards, discount coupons, free gifts including pens, mugs, towels and other items with your business name printed on them.

Bondi Slim is a perfect detox tea blend.

Colon Cleanse

Highly recommended. Great product.
Great products...feel great on them.
Tastes and smells amazing..!!
Very happy with both teas. The Slim tea is refreshing and slightly fruity taste. Having it first thing in the morning helps to wake me up and freshen my mouth. The Colon Cleanse Tea is very affective! I have reduced the serving from one teaspoon, to half a teaspoon as it was giving me flatulence throughout the day and runny poos in the morning after eating my breakfast. The taste is not my favourite - a licorice taste, but is effective in keeping you regular.

Following all the positive feedback from previous years we were very keen to sponsor the Lincolnshire Expo again this year. It is always packed full of local businesses that are eager to discuss business which is refreshing. Throughout the day, our stand was very busy with lots of potential clients coming over for a chat to find out what it is that we can offer them.
Throughout the event our Digital Marketing Executives went around the hall and visited a variety of stands to ask them some questions regarding marketing and the event. You can see the questions and answers below.
What's your favourite social media channel and why?
We asked United Agency, a graphic design and web design company in Lincoln. They said their favourite social media platform is Instagram because everything is visual and instant. Instagram is a very useful platform for United Agency because it is a easier way to show their audience the work they carry out.
What is your biggest marketing challenge for 2018?
For this question we asked St Barnabas, a charity who provide specialist care and support for those who need it. When asked this question, Marketing Manager Jess said their biggest challenge is creating an optimised but mainly user friendly website.
Did you have any specific goals before coming here today?
For this question, we asked the Gelders Group. The business began in 1988, and over the years they have become a major construction company, known to many. When asked if they had any specific goals before coming to the Lincs Business Expo, they said all they wanted to do was general networking and be able to have a chat with the people that were there. We think this is a pretty good reason!
Do you have someone managing your social media or do you do it inhouse?
We spoke to Ruddocks, a team of highly talented designers, marketers and project managers. They said that in the past they have sourced their social media to a external team but now they have their own marketing manager in house who does their social media. They prefer doing it this way because they can control it a lot more efficiently and make it more personal.
What do you find most difficult about local marketing?
For this question, we thought we would ask Visit Lincoln as their marketing is very localised. They said that they think companies are not using digital agencies to the best of their abilities.
As well as the above questions we also asked several businesses two main questions that we think are important to know in the world of digital marketing.
What device do you use most often within the business environment?
The possible answers were; Desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile. The pie chart below shows the answers in percentages.
What internet browser do you use most often within the business environment?
The possible answers for this question were; Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Other. You can see the answers in the chart below.
Like always, the show turned out to be an amazing success with lots of potential leads coming from it. We look forward to seeing what else 2018 brings us as SEO Traffic Lab grows.

Behind The Scenes: Balenciaga Spring 2012 Campaign Video
by Keesean Moore
Don't you hate those lazy Saturday afternoons when you're hungover, your hair looks perfectly disheveled, and all you have to wear is Balenciaga pulled straight off the runway?
Well that was the inspiration behind Balenciaga's highly praised spring 2012 campaign that's already starting to appear in Fashion glosses around the world.
Shot by Steven Meisel and staring Juliane Grüner, Laura Kampman, Rosie Tapner, and Kirstin Liljegre, this campaign serves up exaggerated effortlessness in a bare loft-space furnished with a double mattress, dresser, television, and coveted Balenciaga accessories strewn about like forgotten papers and useless knick knacks. The perfect juxtaposition.
If you loved the campaign images, you'll love the behind-the-scenes video that was just released. Set to the soundtrack of "Rectangle" by the late French punk musician JACNO, the video not only captures the laissez-faire quality of the photos, but gives you lust-worthy detail shots of your favorite pieces from the runway.
Marie-Amélie Sauvé was the stylist, Guido Palau and Pat McGrath tackled the hair and makeup, and Mathias Augustyniak & Michael Amzalag were in charge of art direction.

Working after treatment ends
Work is an important part of life for many people. Aside from income, work can provide satisfaction, a sense of normality, a means of maintaining self-esteem, and a chance to socialise.
If you took time off work for treatment and are returning to an existing job, talk to your employer about a return to work plan. It's a good idea to speak with your doctor about your capacity to undertake your usual tasks.
For some people, returning to the same job may not be possible due to changes in ability and length of time away. The desire to reduce work-related stress or seek more meaningful work may also motivate people to change jobs.
Learn more about:
- Do I have a right to return to my job?
- Must I disclose I had cancer in job applications?
- What if I can no longer work?
- Discrimination at work
Do I have a right to return to my job?
Australian laws require an employer to take reasonable steps to accommodate the effects of an employee's illness, e.g. providing new office equipment or making adjustments to your workstation.
If you are unable to carry out your previous role, your employer doesn't have to offer you a different job unless your cancer is work-related.
Must I disclose I had cancer in job applications?
While some people may want to tell a potential employer that they have had cancer, you don't need to unless it is relevant to the position. If you are asked about a gap in your résumé, you can say that you had a health issue and it's now resolved.
A prospective employer is permitted to ask you about your ability to perform tasks that are an essential part of the job, e.g. lifting heavy boxes. If some tasks are a problem for you because of the cancer or treatment, it's best to mention this at the interview.
What if I can no longer work?
If cancer or its treatment has made it impossible to return to your previous work, then rehabilitation and retraining programs can prepare you for another job. Your employer may have a rehabilitation scheme or you could discuss this with your GP. You may be eligible for a payout through your income protection insurance. If you are unable to return to work, contact Centrelink on 132 717 to see if you are eligible for the Disability Support Pension or other payments.
Discrimination at work
A lack of knowledge about cancer may mean some people are treated differently at work after a cancer diagnosis. Employers and colleagues may think you need more time off or wonder about your ability to work and perform your usual role.
Anyone who has had cancer is protected by the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992, which prevents employers from discriminating against people with disabilities in the workplace.
For further advice:
- speak to a social worker, union official or solicitor
- contact the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board or Australian Human Rights Commission
- visit the Fairwork Ombudsman
- call 13 11 20, or see Cancer, work and you
- download our Workplace Fact Sheets — these fact sheets assist employers and workplaces to provide a supportive and fair work environment for people affected by cancer.

The wait is finally over! The long awaited Captain America: Civil War trailer has finally been released! Fans have been anxiously waiting in anticipation for the next installment in Marvel's acclaimed universe to finally have some content and that void has finally been filled. You can check out the trailer here:
The trailer is definitely a bit darker than many of us had expected and it is a refreshing take on Marvel films! We are very accustomed to seeing the happy go lucky heroes that we fail to realized the dark side of being a superhero. The Civil War will definitely be bringing that dark and gritty tone to the big screen in a huge way!
Not only did we get a brand new trailer, but we also got 3 brand new posters! Check them out:
What a treat this is! We weren't expecting any Civil War content for quite some time. Marvel seemed to have answered the call from the fans and given them what they wanted! Who's side are you on?

I've always found it interesting and captivating reading the design process of others freelance web designers because it's a good way to have an insight into others work, to see if I can learn anything from their process but also for curiosity.
So here is the break down of my design process :
1) Overview
Most of the times I'm hired to revamp an existing website, to make it more modern, change the colors or to customize the design. So I will have a look on my clients existing design and see where and how I can improve the design.
2) Planning
(If you already ordered my services please fill in the Online Form Planner for your website)
The first thing I do when I get an enquiry is to send the potential client a website planner.
The website planner is a series of questions I have listed in an Online Form that will gather requirements for the project.
The key objectives of the Planning document are :
- Find out who the client is and what they do
- Who their target market/user is – this includes client goals, target audience, detailed feature requests and as much relevant information as I can possibly gather. Even if the client has carefully planned his or her website, I will not be afraid to offer useful suggestions from my experience.
- Who their competition is
- What deliverables they want from me
- Timeframe and budget
- Gain access to servers and build folder structure – typical information to obtain and validate includes: FTP host, username and password; control panel log-in information; database configuration; and any languages or frameworks currently installed.
- Contracts that define roles, copyright and financial points – This is a crucial element of the documentation and should include payment terms, project closure clauses, termination clauses, copyright ownership and timelines.
- Determine required software and resources (stock photography, fonts, etc.)
3) Research & Ideas
I start by going through the current website and list things that can be improved. If you don't have a website ( please see 3.1 ) yet I will go through the Planning Document and based on that information I will do a research on your competitors.
3.1) Competitors sites
The next stage is to analyse competitor websites: what is good and what is bad about them. If I can take on board what is good and eliminate what is bad, then there is a better chance to come up with a successful and better solution.
3.2) Ideas
I suggest several improvements that can be made to the current site, showcase variousfeatures of other non-related sites that I feel can be integrated into the new site.
3.3) Logo
Depending on the project, new branding may be necessary including logo, stationary, company image and the website.
4) Information Architecture
I will mention here that at each stage I get feedback from the clients and discuss about any revision or correction they want. It's important for me that my clients are getting involved in the whole process.
I write down every section of the website on post-its and arrange them (on the wall behind my PC Screens) in order of importance. This is an great technique that allows me to easily change and rearrange your order.
In the end I will end up with various levels of importance, which will help me with your sitemap and wireframes.
5) Wireframes
I start by sketching wireframes and then move them in a digital format to produce more professional looking wireframes that I can pass to the client.
6) Mockups
Once the client is happy with the wireframe, is time to open Photoshop and start with a new canvas. The good thing about this process is that I now have a wireframe to build the design over.
7) Implementation
If all is good to go, the front end development process starts and I produce the template for your homepage.
8) Completion
The project is complete and the templates are then passed to the client.
After launch I will still monitor the analytics and make suggestions on how to improve the site.
It's hard (or impossible) to get it perfect first time, there are always things you can learn from how the users use the site and make improvements based on the experience.

I guess I didn't really get the Darling Downs' previous album, How Can I Forget this Heart of Mine? For those who weren't familiar with that 2006 release, here's a quick recap. The Darling Downs, a collaboration between two respected Australian indie rock musicians, put out an album of unexpected, gentle country/folk music. Kim Salmon (the Scientists, Beasts of Bourbon) strummed acoustic guitar and Ron Peno (Died Pretty) sang in a strained, alienating voice songs about deep-settled loneliness and heartbreak. What was the purpose behind this strange caterwauling, which certainly wasn't beautiful in the traditional sense? Was it a tribute? Or was it musicians having a laugh?
I have to say, after listening to their second album From One to Another I'm not much closer to a determination on that score. If the Darling Downs is an acquired taste, it's not one I've had the opportunity to get to know, despite best efforts. Peno seems to have become determined to make his voice as difficult to approach as possible, often rising to a falsetto that sounds strained and, often, flat. This must be purposeful, this out-of-tune singing, but it still sounds awkward each time Peno reaches, achingly, for those high notes. The prime example on the record is "The Only Home I've Ever Known", in which Peno continually drifts in and out of tune. The aim may be to communicate fragility; but that's more difficult to appreciate as a listener than as someone engaging with the music on an intellectual level. Plus, this music doesn't present itself as a thesis. It's simple almost to the point of being a generic genre exercise.
The group's flirtation with Johnny Cash-isms is made explicit on "Circa '65", with its bass growl about angels and "the lonely time since 1965". The Darling Downs occasionally share something of Tom Waits' burlesque imagery, but in general they're more gravel, more salt-of-earth people. There are a few instances of real, effective emotion – just as there were on How Can I Forget This Heart of Mine?. The most successful piece on the album may be "There's A Light Part 2", a simple major-key waltz with a sing-together chorus. You come to believe, with Peno, that "There's a light on me here" (the religious overtones in this phrase are scattered throughout the album, which refers now and then to angels and Jesus and salvation, as well). "Something Special", an un-ambitious, finger-picked acoustic ballad, finds a gentle sort of peace in its contemplation of love. And in contrast "Lately" is more adventurous, using the banjo-style twang of the guitar to outline a shifting tonal centre.
From One to Antoher ends on a wistful note. "I'm sad that I've wasted all your time," Peno sings, finding solace in the hope that "somewhere there's a place where I'll be fine". The singer needn't worry; though this is essentially a genre exercise, it's a pleasant and only occasionally baffling journey for the listener. You suspect that fans of Salmon and Peno, already selected post-Scientists/Died Pretty as hard core, and further selected by those who were drawn to the group's previous album, will find something similarly rewarding in here. But the rest of us will likely remain pretty baffled by the whole enterprise.

About Us
What Do You Think of The Quality of Construction Documents?
By Peter Kray
The CSI Community Connect Page is buzzing with a variety of thoughtful responses to this question: "We often hear that the quality of construction documents has declined. If that's the case, what specifically has made it so? If you don't believe so, then why do you think you they are about as good as they've ever been, or even better?"
Below is a sample of the nearly two-dozen replies. You can read all the replies, and add your own thoughts to the conversation, right here.
"I agree that it has declined. In my opinion, the major reason for that is the habit of Copy-and-Paste from archived documents without sufficient review and quality control. This has lead to many mistakes."
Nabeel Ali BS, CSI, PMP
"The perception that the quality of documents has declined is because of higher expectations of computer-generated documents. Constructors these days are looking for every connection and every condition to be accurately detailed, in spite of the fact that more detail than ever is included in the documents.
These days, it is refreshing to arrive on a jobsite where the contractor has asked for a specific bearing elevation and I am able to answer by giving them the criteria needed to calculate the elevation and have them establish the elevation in the field based on actual field conditions rather than giving them a theoretical elevation that is likely incorrect because it is dependent on something that was constructed slightly differently than originally conceived.
The reality is that, because of technology, construction documents are better than ever."
Raymond Gaines FCSI, CCS, CDT, AIA
"As independent specifications consultants, Conspectus provides the opportunity to view drawings from multiple firms across the country of different sizes and we are very concerned about what seems to be an industry-wide problem of decreasing quality.
There are exceptions of course, even within a single firm, but across the board we see a steady decline. David Stutzman and I presented a paper titled "Construction Document Quality Crisis" at a NIBS conference in April 2018 that outlines what we see as causes of the problem and includes some suggestions for improving quality management. Here are some factors in the decline of quality in construction documents:
Lack of a coherent, consistent quality management program.
Poor production planning--it's that ironic architects require detailed production schedules from the contractor but do not utilize such planning themselves.
Mindset focused on drawing instead of creating and communicating information.
Increasing complexity of projects combined with decreasing fees.
Increasing pressure from owners and construction teams to reduce document production time.
Lack of in-house training for junior staff for basic drawing skills and non-drawing tasks.
Drawing ahead of research and decisions.
Lack of basic technical knowledge.
Insufficient time for effective off-team reviews."
"I think time horizon and market niche plays into this discussion too much to have there be any real broad consensus about document quality trends.
I have personally worked on many projects that were built between the 30's and the 50's, and usually renovated and added onto in the 70's, 80's, or 90's. Without question, the documents from the older eras are less 'clear' and less 'complete.' Whole concert venues were built with (13) size D sheets, including MEP and Civil!
However, coordination was simple because the strategies for building systems were simple. Details were nearly non-existant because the contractors were more skilled (think about the decline of masonry through the 20th century). Many drawings overlapped and had multiple views (plan/section/profile) on the same drawing."
—Cam Featherstonhaugh CSI, CDT, AIA
"This subject has been revisited several times during my career. Despite a lot of talk, there has been little documented evidence of a decline in quality.
In 1997, Michael Chambers and I presented 'Document Coordination' for the Minnesota chapter of AIA. Our handout included reprints of several articles about document quality; some, with scary titles, tried to prove that construction documents were atrocious and getting worse.
The frequency of problems in construction documents makes it easy to accept claims that they are getting worse. In 1997 I believed those claims, but I now believe the opposite. I would argue that overall, construction documents are better than ever before."
—Sheldon Wolfe FCSI, CCS, CCCA
"There are factors which make even things that appear measurable to be unmeasurable. It is like comparing the number of home runs Babe Ruth amassed over his career to a player of today. How many games were played per year then and now? How good was the pitching?
Someone who knows more than me about baseball might add that the balls and bats are different. It is an interesting discussion that can be likely argued to any point desired. In general, I believe they are getting better, particularly when we consider the increased time constraints and technical issues that have been added."
—Gary Johnson CSI, CCS, CDT, AIA, LEED AP

What is a Call To Action Button?
A CTA is one of the most important buttons to have on your business landing page. Marketing studies show that when you have a well placed CTA on your website. Your customer conversion rates are much higher then if you did not have one. I really think it actually makes users feel good about their web surfing experience. I am always bothered when I log onto a website and can't find out how to contact the business or worse buy their products or services. Basically in a nut shell, a call of action button is a graphic that looks like a button that is easily seen. Once you push the button. It should take you to a web page to purchase a product, schedule a service, join a news letter or contact the business.
What should it look like?
Here is a screen shot of a simple "Learn More" CTA button on Allshouse Designs.
I really hope that this helps you under a little about what a CTA is and what they look like. I wrote a few tips about them on the Tips and Update section at allshousedesigns.com. Here is another great blog post that is full of great information and resources about Call to Action. If you have any questions about your call of action button. Remember I am always here to help with your business website. Feel free to contact me or just post a comment to talk more about it.
What's up next?
Next weekend I hope to post a little bit earlier in the day. The day light savings has messed me up. I do love this time a year and hope your weekend is going well for you. Next week, I will be posting about what a Sales Funnel is and how to put it in action on a webpage. Stay tuned and have a wonderful week. Thanks for reading!

Customs warehousing, or setting up and managing a customs warehouse, is a procedure that enables companies to suspend their import duties and/or value-added tax (VAT) until goods are released from the warehouse.
This procedure can be set up for goods that enter the customs territory of the European Union (EU) from outside the EU, so called "non-community" goods. The goods will have to be stored in a bonded warehouse, or customs warehouse, in a location or under an inventory system that is authorized and supervised by the applicable customs authority.
Glenn Palanacki is Product Manager, North American Customs at Descartes
The focus of governments on facilitating trade has now been overshadowed by the idea of "securing" the trade chain. Regulatory bodies are now focusing on being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to goods arriving at the border. Many countries have implemented strict timeframes as to when security filings must be submitted, often before the goods are even in transit from the originating country. Canada is no different with its Advance Commercial Information (ACI) program.
The global supply chain faces new challenges with the European Union's (EU) focus on creating a single customs interface and approach for its current 27 member states. The most recent security legislation, the import control system (ICS), is similar to the international initiatives in advanced manifest filing (AMS) in that it requires advanced shipment notification to customs authorities prior to goods arrival in the EU in the form of an entry summary declaration (ENS). That means as of January 1, 2011, the burden of supplying advanced shipment information for products en route to the EU, or going to other destinations via the EU, rests with the carriers.
Benn Bekic is Vice President, Global Logistics Network - Canada at Descartes
An increasing number of organizations across Canada have either become customs self assessment (CSA) importers or are considering taking this route given its potential for faster border cross times, increased accuracy and improved compliance – all contributing to reducing the cost of doing business with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Peter de Groot is Product Strategy Manager at Descartes
The European Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) will be switched on in 2010 and mandatory for relevant movements of goods by January 2011. The overall objective of this new system is to prevent fraud and evasion, as a result of cross-border cooperation between varying European Customs organizations, particularly through the exchange of electronic information on 'excisable' products movements. It also aims to simplify procedures for operators (e.g. alcohol producers or distributors) by standardizing and harmonizing the entailed business activities and information flows between these operators and the Excise Authorities. For all operators this project creates an opportunity to optimize their internal excise processes, save costs and speed up the time-to-ship.
In order to create a more efficient customs environment and to enable pro-active risk management, the European Government has set up a Multi Annual Strategic Plan (MASP) program to implement electronic customs in the European Union (EU). In the next four to five years, we will gradually see the conversion of all paper-based customs procedures into streamlined, automated electronic processes.
One step of that process is called Excise Movement and Control Systems (EMCS), and applies to excise goods in particular.
EMCS is a computerised system for monitoring movements of excise goods between European Member States under duty suspension.
The European commission decided to build EMCS, a trader-to-trader link, to follow the movement of excise goods between Member States for which no excise duties have yet been paid. The objective is to replace the paper document that currently has to accompany these movements, known as the Administrative Accompanying Document or AAD, with electronic messages from the consignor to the consignee via the administrations of the Member States.
Excise duties are indirect taxes on the consumption or the use of certain products. In contrast to the value-added-tax (VAT), they are mainly specific taxes, i.e. expressed as a monetary amount per quantity of the product. Today, all EU countries apply excise duties on three product categories: on alcoholic beverages, manufactured tobacco products and energy products (motor fuels and heating fuels). The goods mentioned in these categories are subject to excise duties in the entire EU, and are therefore called community excise goods. Next to the community excise goods, there are also national excise goods, determined by a specific Member State. For instance, Belgian citizens also pay these kinds of taxes on coffee and soft drinks, while in the surrounding countries this is not the case.
The rules for charging duty are set out in a number of EU Directives, which means that some member states have a higher excise duty rate than others. The revenue from excise duties accrues entirely to the Member States.
Jonathan Wasserman is Senior Vice President, Global Trade Compliance at Descartes
To act more quickly and efficiently in cargo security, government agencies are demanding more information earlier in the supply chain cycle.
The three pillars that currently define global trade compliance include: government advanced cargo security, scrutinizing cargo and parties before they are destined for any host country; trade partners data exchange to facilitate advanced cargo security; and, the need for transparency of processes through automated electronic evidence collection and audit trails to demonstrate those activities have occurred from production to delivery.
Global trade compliance has historically been addressed through distinct and separate security filings done by a specific legislated party; via carriers who satisfy regional security requirements; or through network-based approach to filing where data for regional filings is collected before being transmitted to the filing party. While these approaches may still work in a limited fashion today, none will satisfy the global trade compliance demands of the future.
The harmonization of advance electronic cargo information requirements on all inbound, outbound and transit shipments is critical to ensuring the secure movement of goods worldwide. The disparity between the mandates outlined by countries around the world and the infrastructure capabilities of global supply chain stakeholders make the exchange of timely and accurate information on a global basis extremely challenging.

He writes so well that I wish he could attract my interest. I like his prose, and disagree with Mailer, who thinks it bad.... With me the problem is that he doesn't write about anything that interests me. I am not concerned with middle-class suburban couples. On the other hand, I'm not concerned with adultery in the French provinces either. Yet Flaubert commands my attention. I don't know why Updike doesn't. Perhaps my fault.

Sorry to jam the winner of my Exclusinve Newsletter Subscriber Contest into this post, but I've already posted twice today. There were 344 entrants for the $25 to Amazon and $25 to my TpT Store. With no further ado...drumroll please....
Lori Hanczaryk! Congratulations, Lori, I will be contacting you via email, so be looking for it!
Here are the directions so you can celebrate the holiday and rev up your student's imagination without making a disaster of your classroom:
*styrofoam hot/cold beverage cups
*permanent markers (I prefer to just give "Irish"-like colors- yellow, black, green and orange)
When you bring the tiny little hats back to school, I recommend putting gold coins and other "booty" in and around each child's hat. Leave a letter (written by you from Lucky or printed from my kit) for the children. Be sure to use an Irish dialect in the letter since it is from a wee leprechaun!
Lucky always leaves us a secret message hung all over the room that the children need to decode (also included in the kit) and it is so much fun. It is also fun to take pictures of the kiddos with their hats on and do a writing piece about the experience. The students NEVER forget this activity...it really is quite amazing how cups are turned into an actual miniature hat by those sneaky leprechauns (even though I know it is science, I prefer to continue to view it as magic as I watch cups turn into tiny hats !
