Spring Clean Your Skin Care Routine
Photography by Erin Turner
By Shelley Hill Young
About six years ago when Jessica Morse was trying to get pregnant, her naturopathic doctor suggested that in addition to eating organic foods, Jessica needed to reduce the use of chemicals in other parts of her life, including in her personal products. At the time, the self-professed product junkie didn't find a lot of resources about how to eliminate chemicals from her beauty routine, so she started doing her own research.
"I talked about it all the time, and my friends were like, 'You need to document this,' so Jessica started the Bare Beauty blog.
Soon after she launched the blog, her former co-worker Laura Pelzer went to the grand opening of tenoverten nontoxic nail salon in New York and came back telling Jessica how much she would love it. The two decided they should open a nontoxic nail salon in Charleston, but their schedules never synced up.
"We never let go of the idea," Jessica says.
And then about two years ago, the two started working on what would become The Water Room, which opened in The Cigar Factory in January. The salon is named after a large glassed-in area in the center of the salon, which is intended to show transparency of the cleaning and preparation of all the products used.
"We have nothing to hide," Jessica says. "You see the action and the ritual of it."
We recently stopped by The Water Room to ask Jessica about her skin care routine and what she recommends to women who want to make the switch to more organic, natural skin care products.
Jessica suggests switching out the following skin care products for more clean, nontoxic versions first:
1. Body lotion: This is the first product Jessica suggests that you switch out because you use it to cover your entire body, you don't remove it, and it's absorbed into your skin. Jessica avoids body lotions that contain parabens, which may disrupt hormones; silicones, which may not break down easily; and propylene glycol, which could cause skin irritations. She also avoids synthetic fragrances and color. Her favorite organic brand? Grown Alchemist.
2. Deodorant: Deodorant is tricky because it's so personal and your body usually needs time to adjust, Jessica says. She advises against making this switch during the summer. Conventional deodorants often contain antiperspirants, usually aluminum salts, which block the sweat glands and can be carcinogenic. Favorite natural deodorants to try include Schmidt's and Vapour Organic AER Next-level deodorant.
3. Body washes: Jessica says many conventional body washes contain the same harsh cleansers found in industrial-grade cleaning products. She avoids sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate, which can disrupt hormones and irritate your skin.
4. Shampoo and conditioner: Swapping out hair products is important because hair is so porous, Jessica says. She likes Rahua Amazon Beauty shampoos and conditioners, which can be found at Aillea.
5. Toothpaste: Conventional toothpastes can contain artificial flavors, harsh abrasives and chemical foaming agents. Jessica likes Davids Premium Natural Toothpaste, which does not have sulfates or fluoride.
6. Lip balm: We often lick our lips and ingest lip products when we eat and drink. Many lip products contain petroleum, parabens, and artificial colors and flavors. Jessica likes Burt's Bees and Kari Gran Lip Whip, which she sells at The Water Room.
Jessica's secrets for moms who want to look bright and awake and not tired:
1. Clove + Hallow concealer: "It has good staying power."
2. RMS Beauty's Living Luminizer and RMS Beauty's Living Luminizer Powder: Apply it to the inner corner of your eyes, along your brow bones and in the center of your eyelid to diffuse light. Also use it on your cheekbones. "It's dewy, not frosty."
3. Use a brow pencil or powder to define your eyebrows. "Focusing on your eyebrows frames the face and draws the viewer's eye up so they are not focusing on any undereye circles. Defining your eyes creates the appearance of bone structure. Jessica recommends Ecobrow Defining Brow Wax.
4. Also use a blush and bronzer. Jessica recommends Kosas Color & Light in Longitude Zero and Lily Lolo Honolulu bronzer.
Don't forget the sunscreen
Jessica recommends Suntegrity's Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen & Primer. "It's a great double-duty product. You can wear it alone or under your makeup," she says. Suntegrity also makes a great self-tanner, Jessica says. Look for sunscreens that contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
The Water Room is offering a curated selection of True Botanical products as a pop-up shop from the San Francisco-based skin care line as well as a limited-edition True Botanicals manicure or pedicure.

A whole new set of scripting objects was added to zMapper to allow zMUD users to script their maps in ways that were never possible before. But for whatever set of reasons, few people have been willing to buy zMapper. I don't know whether it's just the continued trend towards MUD players wanting stuff for free, whether zMapper hasn't been marketed properly (something I admit I'm terrible at), or whether people just found zMapper hard to use or too unstable. No matter how I look at it, only 100 sales over the past year is a complete failure.

Forgiveness: Your Most Important Spiritual Practice
|Posted by Karen M. Wyatt on August 5, 2014 at 10:00 PM
Forgiveness is a very powerful spiritual practice that is often very difficult to accomplish. Whenever we feel we have been wronged by another person, or society, or even life itself, it is human nature to carry anger and resentment with us, sometimes for many years. The problem is that such bitter feelings are destructive to us physically, emotionally and spiritually.

ContinuousWave: Small Boat Electrical
Using VHF Marine Band Handheld Radios Ashore
|Topic: Using VHF Marine Band Handheld Radios Ashore
posted 07-03-2014 11:57 PM ET (US)
The Federal Communications Commission of the USA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) Docket 14-36 that contains suggested changes to Part 80 (Stations in the Maritime Services) of the commission's rules.
The NPRM contains a response to a petition for change submitted by the GMDSS Task Force of the USA that requested the FCC amend the rules to permit operation of VHF Marine Band hand held radios ashore near areas of maritime and boating activity.
The FCC response to the request to amend the rules to permit use of handheld radios ashore was to oppose the change. The commission said:

Duh? They didn't seem to make the "shore parties" point. I can see a good case where a person/persons would go ashore via dinghy and would need to communicate with the "mothership" via marine band radio, not CMRS or PRS. There is also the situation where a person ashore is guiding a pilot through unfamiliar waters via a handheld radio.
posted 07-04-2014 12:48 PM ET (US)
I just came across this notice yesterday, and I believe the period for public comments has closed. I don't see why radio communication directly related to ship movement should have to switch to a completely different radio service once the foot of a crewman steps on land. That would require the vessel and the crew to carry two sets of radios, and to coordinate the communication change from one service to another.
posted 07-04-2014 01:43 PM ET (US)
I always thought one of the criteria for judging whether a law should be enacted was its enforcability. It would be interesting to see how many citations have actually been issued for land use of handheld VHF radios.
posted 07-06-2014 12:51 PM ET (US)
This begs the question of who has enforcement jurisdiction. Rescue 21 has the capability to locate a marine band RF transmission almost instantly, but is license enforcement in the USCG's charter? Can the FCC task them to do it as their sub-agent? To borrow a fishing term, this is a can of worms.
posted 07-06-2014 03:02 PM ET (US)
The FCC suggests that the best solution for using a handheld radio ashore to communicate with a close-by boat is the Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) or the Personnel Radio Service (PRS).
I suppose they are proposing the Commercial Mobile Radio Service for commercial ships, and the Personnel Radio Service for non-commercial or recreational boats.
I believe that the FCC uses Personal Radio Service as a blanket term for the following radio services:
--Citizens Band (CB)
--Family Radio Service (FRS)
--General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS)
--Low-power Radio Service (LPRS)
--Multi-use Radio Service (MURS)
The service that seems most appropriate is the Family Radio Service (FRS). The FRS has the following features:
--FRS allows two-way voice communications over very short distances, generally less than one-half mile. It is generally used by families or small groups to communicate while on group outings when group members are fairly close together, but can also be used in business-related settings.
--An FRS unit looks and works much like a walkie-talkie.
--If you have a dual-use, FRS-General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) unit, you may legally use only the FRS channels unless you have a GMRS license. The label on the unit or the operations manual should indicate the service the unit is certified for. FRS-only units transmit at lower power levels and have antennas that are integrated with the unit; GMRS units transmit at higher power levels and may have detachable antennas.
--You can operate your FRS unit anywhere in the U.S. and its possessions. Before using FRS in other countries such as Canada and Mexico, check to see if that country allows operation of FRS units. There is no minimum age requirement for operating a FRS unit.
Are there hand-held radios that combine a VHF Marine Band radio with a Family Radio Service radio? This is clearly the best solution for using ashore. I have an older radio that can do this, but I am not sure if there are any present-day radios that can. Also, it would be very nice if there were a VHF Marine Band fixed mount radio that could operate as an FRS radio, too. I don't know of any that can. In fact, it seems that there are really no FRS base station type radios, other then a few radios intended for campers.
posted 07-07-2014 01:01 PM ET (US)
Personally, I think that the time for the FCC to get it's knickers in a knot has come and gone on this issue. And the time to do anything about it (enforcement wise) went out the window when portables first arrived, without a card in the box for licensing.
There's reality and FCC version of reality, and the bottle of "wake up" pills are on the counter. I'd suggest they take a handful...

Tarot Journal: The World
This card feels complicated today. The World is about completion, success, reaching the end of a journey, graduation. I usually think of this as a joyful card, but today I am feeling the bittersweet side of it.
And that is how fleeting The World is.
We are conditioned to believe certain things about success and completion. We are told that we live in a just world. That if we try hard, if we are good, we will be happy and content and secure, and that will be a lasting condition. If we save up a little money, we'll always have our material needs met. If we go to therapy for long enough, we won't have so many big messy feelings.
But none of those things are true. The world is not just. Trying hard and being good—our actions—matter much less than our positions within hierarchies, when it comes to the conditions of our lives. No savings account can ever give us security. And being full of big messy feelings is the goddamn human condition, at least for most of us.
The Major Arcana represents The Fool's journey, and The World is the end of that journey: its purpose accomplished.
But it's just a moment in time. The Fool is always on their endless spiral journey. The end of one thing is always the beginning of something else. We get a moment of sweetness and joy and accomplishment, and then it's time to jump off the cliff again.
What this card is saying to me today is: soak it up. Take a breath. This moment in time is precious and unique and perishable. Slow down and experience it. The cliff isn't going anywhere—your next leap is already inevitable.

About Safflower oil
Safflower oil is made from the seeds of the safflower plant, which is related to the sunflower. It's a mild-tasting oil with a neutral aroma -- perfect when you don't want a pronounced flavor from the oil in a recipe (think stir-fries, curries, and baked goods). Refined high-heat safflower oil, a common variety, has a high smoke point (meaning it will not smoke and break down until it reaches a high temperature), making it ideal for sauteing and deep-frying.
Safflower oil has many benefits. It helps remove excess fat in the body, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, strengthen your immune system, regulate your menstrual cycle, and promote hair growth and healthy skin. Safflower oil can also help with diabetes because it removes excess body fat and lowers blood sugar levels. "In traditional Chinese medicine, safflower is used to invigorate the blood, dissipate stasis, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), pain and traumatic injuries. It is also used to "calm" a live fetus and to abort fetuses, so it should be used cautiously during pregnancy."
What is Castor Oil
Castor oil is a multi-purpose vegetable oil that people have used for thousands of years. It's made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.

Artist Spotlight: Salt Lake City
Christine Baczek: An Interview with the Artist
Jim Frazer
Christine Baczek
started photographing when she was thirteen and living in South America. After her family moved back to Salt Lake City, she studied photography at the University of Utah. She is now education coordinator at the
Kimball Art Center
and collections photographer for the
Utah Museum of Fine Arts
. Her work is the subject of two recent exhibits:
, which was on display during December and January at the Main Library in downtown Salt Lake, and
Vertical Landscapes
, which is at the
Finch Lane Gallery
through February 23.
You've got two exhibits which on the surface look very different. Do you see them as being dissimilar or do you see them as being connected?
They're connected by the use of multiple images. Most of my work deals with the idea of needing a lot more information than just one photograph to have an experience. The big color collage work in
is more about thought processes - about how do you actually observe something? How do you deconstruct it and then reconstruct it again, not only to make sense out of it but to convey the experience of seeing something. I'm trying to give the viewer an idea of how I observe things. With the black and white vertical landscapes, it's more about creating a space that you walk into that's more intimate than the overwhelming landscape. What I'm trying to do there is to present a space that is enormous in a very small scale and in a way that you feel you are actually looking up and down and you're in the space.
The vertical landscape ones are about four inches wide by 20 to 30 inches tall; so you'd have to stand very close to look up and down.
When I started making those pieces about two years ago I was trying to create an intimate space for people; because the frustrating thing for me with landscape photography is how to separate it from the pretty postcard picture into something that you can actually feel like you're in the place. A place is more than just the color of the leaves or the shape of the mountains. A place is about an experience and not really the forms.

Exhibition Reviews: Utah County
Art Destination: Utah County

Utah County may not immediately come to mind when looking for great art in this state, but I consistently find art in the area that satisfies. With two major educational institutions, a spattering of galleries, and three distinctly different Art Museums, a smorgasbord of art work is available, something to delight any taste. I sampled some of the current offerings during the first week of February and found the Woodbury Museum's UVSC Faculty exhibit and Terra Nova's

Exhibition Review: Salt Lake City
The Chosen Place, The Timeless People
Kathleen Peterson & Blanche Wilson @ Phillips Gallery
Geoff Wichert
It's hard to imagine how two bodies of work by two established artists, each making original and mature art and each working at the top of her form, could look more comfortable together than these two. When artists show together they sometimes divide the gallery between them like a bedroom shared by quarrelling siblings, but in the rambling main space of the Phillips Gallery in downtown Salt Lake the figure paintings of Kathleen Peterson and the landscape prints of Blanche Wilson share the same walls and rub shoulders like old and very dear friends. Despite contrasting subjects and mediumsand only the most casual glance could fail to notice two very individual sensibilities at workthe show coalesces in a harmony built around similar formal concerns and a common feeling for what it means to be human.
The harmony begins with interlocking subject matter. Peterson's oils are all figures: in fact, they are all women, mostly in pairs or groups. She presents them without settings, in order to clarify and emphasize relationships between them. Wilson's prints portray locales, primarily specific to the Ogden area but all familiar western scenes, that often feel like stage sets waiting to be peopled by the viewer's imagination. Although Peterson's figures represent women from all over the world, it's not too far-fetched to mentally place them into Wilson's sometimes urban, sometimes wild, but always nature-sensitive environments.
Both artists' approaches imply narratives but don't spell them out. Both are suffused with emotional keys, including a wealth of specific details done so as to convey broad meanings, with a light touch underscored by deft handling of light and the colors it reveals. And both courageously convey a simple faith in the conviction that if we just look at the right places and people, we can see that creation is unfolding exactly as it is meant to do.

Did around 20 tests and all were very solid around those speeds. Very exciting stuff. Was getting LTE down the Mass Pike for about 2 miles and then my phone went back to HSPA+. I am thrilled. Keep pushing those towers T-Mobile, your long time customers who have stuck by you for years and years are thrilled.

We are excited to welcome Brooke Snyder, a passionate CrossFitter and teacher of Mindfulness and Meditation to CrossFit Hyannis this Saturday at noon to kick off a 21 Day Challenge entitled "Mobilizing Your Mind: 21 Day Challenge For Best Results." Cost is $25 and you will get both her presentation and leave with the tools to practice for 21 days (and beyond) to help you feel your best.
Brooke's mission is to educate and empower members by giving them tools and techniques to help them feel their very best. Her focus is on helping her fellow friends and everyday athletes who train hard, but have no idea how to rest and recover.
CrossFit helps people of all ages and abilities build the foundation for proper movement and nutrition, but there's a missing piece of the pyramid, and that is training the most powerful muscle that drives all behavior and results: the mind.
Here's the thing: your body and brain don't know the difference between doing Fran and being chased by a bear.
Most members train 4-6x a week. Some even twice a day. Some may follow the 3 on, 1 off schedule. They google questions like, "How often should I take rest days? How many rest days do athletes need? How can I recover faster? How much sleep is good? Is it bad if I workout everyday?"
A majority of members peel themselves off the floor post workout and go about their day.
The time spent working out (especially CrossFit workouts) are a great stress. But members are going from stress to stress. It's all stress, nonetheless.
They might work in a bit of stretching and mobility (maybe) some may do Mobility WOD or ROMWOD, which is great.
What Brooke offers is teaching a stress-relieving tool that gives the body and brain deep rest (5x deeper than sleep).
When you give your brain and body the chance to recharge, it heals itself. And less stress means less time spent at the doctor's office (90 percent of visits are stress related) and less injury.
In this 21 Day Challenge "Mobilizing Your Mind: 21 Day Challenge For Best Results" Brooke will teach you tools so you can practice for 21 days and she can work with you post challenge on questions etc.
The cost of the Challenge and presentation THIS SATURDAY AT NOON is $25- please sign up at the gym or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with questions or to sign up.

Midula is inspired by the Pop Art movement specifically by the colour, lines, and graphic forms used by Roy Litchtenstein and Patrick Caulfield. Inspired by their works, Midula embraces a philosophy of using the simple black outline to create a frame before filling in the blanks with bold, bright colours. Midula plays with contrasting colours to draw the viewers eye to the focal point of the piece in the same way others would use negative space. The end result is bold, and simple stand out imagery.

San Francisco 2019 [no label, 1CD]
Live at The Chapel, San Francisco, CA; May 17, 2019 (late show). Very good audience recording.
Thanks to vortexzephyr for sharing the show at Dime.
vortexzephyr noted:
Completely improvised set by three amazing musicians. The whole thing is incredible, but in particular Improv 1 is imo some of the most transcendent music I've ever heard anywhere or anytime. Recording came out very well.
+ + + + +
Giacomo Fiore, sfcv.org:
Terry Riley, Laurie Anderson, and John Zorn - three towering figures in US experimentalism - don't immediately spark an association among them. Before their latest two-night, four-shows residency of a sort at the Chapel on Valencia Street. they had collaborated exactly once, coming together on the occasion of Zorn's 65th-birthday celebrations at the same venue in September 2018. The trio hit it off, and if the opening set from their current revival is any indication, we may not have heard the last from them.
Repeating passagework, whether electronically enhanced our produced through sheer mechanical determination, coalesced into clouds of sound that evoked the evolving atmospheres of Music for the Gift and Poppy Nogood; elsewhere more noisy and gestural moments prevailed, with Zorn displaying his credentials as lifelong improviser in the downtown New York scene through a kaleidoscopic range of squeals, sqwonks, and splatts. Yet even when things got loud - and they did - the feeling was always deliberate, coordinated; the engagement and attunement among the three was tangible, and as a result the audience remained connected through the 50-plus minute continuous escapade.
For the most part, the trio's body language and clear individual expression rendered the onstage exchanges easy to follow throughout, but occasionally the use of live electronics to process the sounds de-coupled gesture from aural results and complicated the overall picture. Anderson's violin, for example, appeared to be both delayed and pitch-shifted for extensive periods of time, meaning that often her bowing and plucking did not obviously correspond to the audible sounds. The effect, however, was mesmerizing, evoking the idea of a cubist string quartet shadowing her gestures.
Riley's sardonic approach to electronics further muddled the picture, as some of his synthesizer patches (including those deployed by an unidentified touch instrument he had laid on top of the acoustic piano) occupied a very similar sonic space to Anderson's violin, leading me to wonder whether he was actually sampling and processing some of her own playing in real time. Whichever the means of production, the sensual side of things was always satisfying, if bewildering; it was just my curiosity as to how they might be doing it that ended up being frustrated.

Last-minute preparations are madly underway for the big Golden Sombrero Ride for Research on Sunday. This means a lot of furious painting of the cheering section signs by our mini Picasso. Addison is in her "dark phase", as Aaron jokes, so unfortunately the transplant green I was hoping we'd be using a lot has morphed into an excess of black paint instead. It's the thought that counts right?
Addison and I will be motoring along in the official Golden Sombrero support vehicle, along with Sheena (Aaron's crazy riding partner's wife and editor at Global) and maybe a couple of other cheer squad members. We plan to meet the riders at the top of most peaks, except for Seymour because it will be way too difficult to wrangle a three-year old to be there for 8:30am. I am bringing along a stack of organ donation registration forms we can hand out along the way, plus a bucket for any impromptu donations from passersby.
We have been blown away by the incredible support we have been getting from all of you. What started out as a silly idea to maybe raise a little bit of money for transplant research has far exceeded what we hoped to accomplish. It makes us determined to turn this grassroots non-event into a real bike ride next year so everyone can join us. I really believe we are going to make a difference and we couldn't do it without your generosity. Let's keep this momentum going!
Follow along with Sunday's ride through social media – Addison and I will both be tweeting so you can follow us and look for these hashtags #goldensombrero #transplantresearch. Or if you are on the North Shore, come and cheer on our riders in person. Here is an approximate schedule:
7:00am – Depart New Brighton Park
8:40am – top of Mount Seymour Road
10:00am – top of Mountain Highway
12:15pm – top of Cypress Bowl Road (lunch break at Crazy Raven)
1:30pm – Horseshoe Bay
3:15pm – Grouse Mountain sky ride (top of Nancy Greene Way)
4:00pm – Prospect Point in Stanley Park
4:30 – Finish at New Brighton Park
Thank you Team Addison for being a part of this!!!
Elaine, Aaron and Addison

When training your dog, it is most important to understand the difference between Markers, Cues, and release words. As you dog's leader and trainer, you must also use each of these correctly and consistently.
Most people refer to cues as commands. Example of cues are words that indicate that your dog should take action, such as SIT, STAY, COME, HEEL, etc. So in the most basic terms, a cue is a verbal or physical "signal" that tells the dog to perform some action.
This "signal" or "cue" can be either verbal or physical. Because humans are oral creatures, they generally use verbal cues, however, physical cues are just as strong. An example of a physical cue is a hand gesture that has the same meaning as the word such as holding your hand out palm up and raising your hand by bending the elbow to indicate that the dog should SIT.
If we are going to "signal" or "cue" our dog to do something, then we are assuming that they know what that cue or word means. And this is where most people get into trouble when it comes to training their dog! How does your dog know what SIT means? or What HEEL means? They don't speak English. So when we ask our dog to SIT or HEEL or COME, how does your dog know what to do?
It is your job as the leader, dog handler to effectively teach your dog what each of the cues mean. We have come a long way in understanding how dogs learn. Dogs learn most quickly by receiving rewards for behaviors they perform. This is the basis of positive reinforcement training.
But have the question, "How do you teach a dog to understand what a cue means?" And this is where markers come in.
Markers are words or sounds that communicate or signal to the dog that he is doing something correctly or not correctly. The words or sounds are used to mark a behavior or action. In other words you are providing the dog with feedback telling him whether or not he is doing what you asked or not.
There are 2 primary markers:
- Positive Marker – A word or sound that tells your dog that he is doing something correctly and to keep doing it. Common positive markers are using clickers, or saying the word "Yes"
- Negative Marker – A word or sound that tells your dog to try something else. The action or behavior they are doing is not exactly what you are looking for. Common negative markers are saying "Eh Eh" or as Cesar Millan uses "Shsst" or "Wrong".
Common feedback I receive from owners is we need to use all of these words and how do we know when to use a cue versus a marker? I know, it can all be very confusing… So let me provide you with an analogy by walking thru the I SPY game… Remember that game when you were a kid?
Player 1, let's call her Mary, says to Player 2, Joe, "I SPY something RED". This is the Cue. It is the signal from Mary to tell Joe to start looking for something Red that she has selected for him to find.
Joe then looks around the room and starts moving away from the "red thing". Mary will say "COLD" which is a negative marker. By saying "COLD", Joe stops and thinks about another direction he can go in — essentially he has changed his behavior as a result of receiving negative feedback. Joe then looks around the room again and starts moving in a different direction towards the "red thing". Mary says "WARM" which is a positive marker. By saying "WARM", Mary is telling Joe that he is moving in the right direction and he should keep doing it. When Joe is very close to the "red thing" Mary says HOT. This is another positive marker or positive feedback that tells Joe he is very close to finding the red thing. Joe looks around, and finds the "red thing"
Just like cues, markers must also be taught to your dog.
How to teach your dog what the markers mean:
Positive Marker — Prepare for lesson by having 4-5 small treats, and ensure your dog is near you. If this is the first time you are teaching, I recommend putting the dog on leash and dropping the leash on the floor and just step on the end of the leash so your dog can't go wandering away if he should get distracted by something else.
- Pick your positive marker – "Yes" or Click using a Clicker. If multiple people live in the household, make sure everyone agrees to use the same markers.
- Say your positive marker word, or Click, then give your dog a treat.
- Repeat 2-3 times a day using 4-5 treats each time.
- Continue for 4-5 days
- Test! Have the clicker ready and a treat. Walk into the room where your dog several feet away and either click the clicker or say your positive marker word. If your dog swings his head towards you or comes running to you to get his treat, then the positive marker is "loaded".
Negative Marker
- Pick your negative marker "Eh Eh", "Wrong"
- Whenever your dog performs a behavior or action that you do not want, Say the negative marker word
Once your dog knows that the marker words mean, then you can start to use them to provide feedback to your dog as you are teaching them cues (or commands). For example, if you are teaching your dog to come. With your dog either on leash or very close to you, you would say your dog's name, then the cue, "COME", if your dog moves towards you, you would use your positive marker, Click or "Yes". If your dog doesn't move, or moves away, you would say your negative marker, "Eh Eh" or "Wrong". Of course there are a few more steps to teaching your dog come, but this is an example of how to incorporate the marker words or "feedback" into the process of teaching your dog a cue.
Release Word
Release words are words or sounds that signal to your dog that he is done working. Common release words are "OK", "Done", "Free". Generally the release word is first introduced to your dog, when you are teaching your dog to STAY. When you ask your dog to hold a position, whether it be a SIT STAY, DOWN STAY, or STAND STAY", you must follow that up by signalling to your dog when he can break out of that position. And that is what the release word does. It tells your dog that he can get up from a DOWN STAY and do whatever he wants until you give him another cue to do something else.
It is critical that there is a common language between you and your dog in order for you to teach your dog the behaviors that you desire. And that is what the consistent and effective use of cues, markers, and release words give to you. Not only will you and your dog understand each other better, but your dog will learn new things faster and easier. And your bond with your dog will grow stronger than ever before!

GUESS is partnering with I:CO, a global solutions provider and innovator for the collection, certified sorting, reuse and recycling of used apparel and footwear, to launch a wardrobe recycling program. The program, RESOURCED, launched in California on June 18 and is expanding to all of North America by the end of 2018 and globally by 2020.
Backed by the company's chainwide, in-store digital and online marketing campaign, it is GUESS' mission to encourage men and women everywhere to recycle their wardrobe and give it new life. In exchange for bringing in a minimum of five pieces of clothing or footwear to any local GUESS, Factory, G by GUESS, or Marciano store in California only beginning June 18, customers will receive 15 percent off any in-store or online purchase until July 1, 2019. The company will promote RESOURCED amongst customers and the community within 63 stores in California across four brands under the GUESS?, Inc. umbrella with messaging in storefront windows, e-mail marketing, in-store signage, mobile marketing and online.
"GUESS has joined a global industry pledge to advance a circular fashion system—the idea that fashion should last and be continuously repurposed, reused and recycled," said Victor Herrero, CEO of GUESS?, Inc., in a statement. "Partnering with I:CO helps us achieve our goals and work on these initiatives to adapt our company and engage our employees, customers and community on developing a more sustainable fashion industry."
GUESS has partnered with I:CO to reduce textile waste and help create a circular fashion system where unwanted clothing and shoes can be reprocessed and used over and over again in a continuous closed loop production cycle. Through I:CO's innovative retail take-back system and worldwide infrastructure, wearable items get a new life as secondhand goods. Unwearable items are resourced into new products like cleaning cloths or recycled into fibers for products such as insulation and new textiles. Reusing and recycling saves resources and allows valuable raw materials to be reprocessed, ultimately helping to protect the environment.
"We admire GUESS' sustainability efforts and its commitment to textile recycling," said Kenneth Cheah, I:CO USA CEO, in a statement. "Through our partnership, consumers will have an easy way to recycle their unwanted clothing and shoes, and it will generate much-needed awareness about creating a more circular future of fashion."
GUESS' commitment to circular fashion is part of the GUESS Sustainability Plan that was disclosed in its independently audited FY16-17 sustainability report published last year. Since then, GUESS has joined the Better Cotton Initiative and has issued a responsible sourcing policy on rayon and other cellulosic materials to protect forests and local communities.

Install Krita on Linux Ubuntu using Appimage or Krita Lime PPA. Krita is an open source painting program for Linux Systems. Krita 4 is the last stable release and the release contains several bug fixes and improvements:
Krita 4 has a new file format for vector and text objects. Krita 4 tries to import Krita 3 and older files. Krita 3 and older will not be able to read vector and text objects saved by Krita 4. Because the new file format and the old file format are not 100% compatible, images with vector and text objects might look different in Krita 4.
We already mentioned SVG support, a new text tool and Python scripting, so here are some other highlights:
- Easy coloring of line-art with the new Colorize Mask Tool.
- Masked brushes: add a mask to your brush tip for a more lively effect.
- New brush presets! We overhauled the entire brush set for Krita 4. Brush presets are now packaged as a bundle, too. And
- Krita 3's brush set is available as well, it's just disabled by default.
It brings background saving. Which means no more freezing while you wait while Krita auto-saves every 15 minutes. Not only do we have a background worker for saving documents, but also when exporting animations. This allows you to export a large animation then keep working while Krita keeps exporting the animation in the background. And exporting animations has been made faster by fully using all the cores on your CPU to calculate fames, too!
It also brings new kpl color palette format and an improved palette docker. Not only this they also have revamped the brush preset editor significantly to make it easier to use and understand. The brush editor has as preview area for you to see a live update as you are changing settings. This should make creating and editing brushes easier than only using the scratchpad. Note: There are a couple brush engines that do not have a preview because of technical limitations (shape and quick).
"Download Krita for Linux Ubuntu"
64 Bit Linux Ubuntu : krita-4.0.0-x86_64.appimage
At the moment, the appimage does not have working translations. (If, for some reason, Firefox thinks it needs to load this as text: to download, right-click on the link.)
You can also use the Krita Lime PPA to install Krita 4.0.0 on Ubuntu and derivatives. We are working on an updated snap.
Install Krita via Lime PPA
- To install Krita run the following command:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kritalime/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install krita
If you also want to install translations:
sudo apt-get install krita-l10n
Note: older versions of Ubuntu (including 16.04) are not supported by this repository due to outdated version of Qt library provided. Please use AppImage builds instead.

At Tuscan Industries, we are dedicated to our profession and enjoy seeing each and every project through to the finish. It's important to hire the best and most talented individuals for a project to be successful. We take care of this and more for projects involving new construction, interior renovations, and remodeling.
Tuscan Industries is the best place for you to come when you need to get help with your new design build. You have an idea of what you want, but you need to make sure that you have gotten the right design for the new structure that you want. You have an idea of what you want in the building, and you can ask Tuscan Industries what they can do for you.
The design team is going to start plans that can be turned into a build, and you will ask them how long they think it is going to take. You get to have input into the job, and you will be able to follow along with their plan while they work. You can see what the building will look when they are done, and then you can ask them how all the rooms in the building will look.
You get final approval of the design for the building, and you will watch as the frame of the building goes up. The frame of the building is only the beginning of what you do, but it is the best way for you to get an idea of what it will look like when it is done.
The design build is going to help you make sure that you get the best interior designs just like you did on the outside. Face of the building will look nice, but it still has to look good when you come on the inside. The best part of this is that all the rooms can look completely different. You just have to make sure that you have specified how all the rooms are supposed to look in your final design. You will be able to enjoy the building more, and you will be able to use every room for its intended purpose.
You will be able to get a new design for your building that is going to look amazing, and you will be able to enjoy the design more because it has clearly been made just for you. Tuscan Industries is going to let you sign off on the final design, and then you are going to be able to save your time and money on a building that looks a lot better than anything the competition has. You get a special design that was custom made just for you by Tuscan Industries.
Tuscan Industries responsibilities when serving as the General Contractor include:
- Applying for or assisting in the application process for building permits
- Management of change orders and general conditions
- Providing all materials, labor, equipment and services
- Monitoring schedule and cash flow
- Maintaining accurate records
- Ensuring a safe and secure project site

EXCLUSIVE: Movie Mogul's supernatural thriller to become the first UK film to use fundraising method provides backers with an actual return on their investment.
UK production company Movie Mogul have announced that their new project The Sleeping Room will use equity crowdfunding.
Written by Ross Jameson, The Sleeping Room is set in present day Brighton, and centres on a call girl who falls for a client who reveals himself to be more than first meets the eye.
The supernatural thriller is the first UK film to utilise equity crowdfunding, which will see backers receive a share of equity in the production. Movie Mogul will use Seedrs.com in a bid to raise £25,000 towards post-production.
Director John Shackleton said: "It's very exciting to be at the forefront of this new wave of fundraising for films, and it's great to be able to offer actual equity to our supporters.
"Now almost anybody can be a film investor, and so it's only right that our backers should share in any financial success that stems from our production."
The Sleeping Room will be produced by Gareth I Davies and is set to shoot in Dec 2013 on locations in and around Brighton. It will star Leila Mimmack and Julie Graham, most recently seen in Tower Block.
Full production details will be announced shortly.
Kaleidoscope recently boarded sales on Movie Mogul's sci-fi We Are Monsters, starring Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams.
