5 Pillars of Successful Mobile Design
Designing for mobile has evolved dramatically. Users now expect fast, immersive mobile experiences, and catering to this is increasingly difficult.
When Luke Wroblewski introduced the concept of Mobile First more than four years ago, it radically changed how we approach design. According to him, the reason was threefold:
It was clear mobile use was going to take over; designing for mobile pushed you to better and simpler designs because of constraints like small screens and slow networks; and last but not least, mobile devices had capabilities like multi-touch and location detection that allowed you to create new kinds of experiences.
Wroblewski is founder of Mobile First, a former Yahoo VP, co-founder of BagCheck (which was later acquired by Twitter). He recently launched Polar, which lets users quickly set up polls to get feedback on timely issues.
We asked Wroblewski for five powerful app design tips, ranging from speed and signup processes to enforced constraints and the importance of taps.
1. Perception is not reality.
People now expect a lighting-fast user experience each time they use a mobile application. However, Wroblewski concedes the situation is actually "more dire than that, as people expect a faster experience on mobile than on the desktop, but the networks are slower." So, you're fighting performance on both sides, he says. While you can help speed things up by minimizing assets and improving response times, for example, you can only go so far. "Eventually you'll bump into the realities of mobile networks."
Wroblewski notes techniques that improve perceived performance, giving the "sense that the app is reacting to your input, despite the fact that nothing has actually happened yet."
Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger calls this technique "performing options optimistically," meaning you can create the illusion that your action has taken effect, when in reality, it hasn't yet.
Wroblewski uses an example: When you like a photo on Instagram, the button instantly informs you that your action is complete. In reality, a network connection is in the process of telling a server what you did. "But Instagram's user interface doesn't wait for the server to verify this actually happened. They optimistically assume it happened," he says. "If something goes wrong later, they deal with it then rather than incurring a delay up front. Commenting works the same way."
The same principle applies to acknowledging touch gestures with subtle UI changes. Immediately when you tap or swipe, your app responds. "Techniques like this increase the perception of performance and, alongside actual performance improvements, they can go a way toward creating fast mobile experiences," says Wroblewski.
2. Postpone signup to improve engagement.
Creating an interface and user experience that will get people to actually engage with your mobile app (and most importantly, keep using it) is a challenge all app developers face. The statistics Wroblewski states are sobering: The average iOS and Android user only downloads three to five apps per month. Of those, 26% are only opened once and never used again, and another 48% are opened 10 times or less.
According to Wroblewski, you have two options. Get the most out of every user when he first downloads and opens your app: Ask for his email address, grab his address book, connect him to Facebook, and so on — with the intent of providing a better experience that keeps him coming back. However, this approach tends to frustrate people, enough that they either skip it or, worse yet, abandon the app. Usually, less than half of people who download an app actually complete the signup process.
Your other option is to postpone signup and let people actually jump in and start using your service. In this model, defer all your asks until they're more appropriate. This approach can foster action. Wroblewski is an advocate of this approach: "letting people get going instantly, then bringing things to them." He incorporated it into Polar, which "targets people when they are actually engaged with our product ... The 'everything at once' before you ever use the app can be effective for some, but it can also turn others away."
3. The mobile canvas comes first.
Presenting large amounts of information on the limited real estate of a mobile screen is difficult. Wroblewski admits, "Complex interfaces with lots of information were designed for a specific medium — where you can fit lots of things on a big screen, using the precise input of a mouse cursor or keyboard."
But Wroblewski observes people who often don't actually take the time to try to make their app work for mobile. "Many times that's all it takes." He points to an example, Jason Grigsby at Cloud Four, who designed an expense-report application using responsive web design. After staring at the desktop version of the app for a while, Jason couldn't fashion a workable approach. Instead, he moved on to designing a mobile version. "As he did, everything snapped in place. Not only could he see how the app could become responsive, but he found a number of ways to make the full screen experience better."
"There is power in starting from the mobile canvas, instead of from your existing interface," says Wroblewski. "When you instead start with a different medium, defined by small screens and much coarser inputs like touch, you end up with a different design."
While there are other more-detailed interface design techniques, such as responsive tables and off-canvas elements, Wroblewski is keen to emphasize, "Those are implementation techniques that will only help you when you've got the big-picture approach in place."
4. Enforce constraints.
One of the biggest challenges in mobile design is "unshackling yourself from 20+ years of desktop computing and the web." Both create a lot of unconscious baggage, says Wroblewski. "That is, you are drawn toward familiar solutions, patterns common to the PC era of software."
While mobile has many similar capabilities to the PC, it has limitations, too. "Many of your instincts will be wrong," says Wroblewski. "I've been designing web apps since 1996, so I have a lot of 'best practices' to unwind, and I often learn the hard way that I'm making things too complex for mobile."
Wroblewski uses creative constraints that force him "to deal with the reality of mobile use." For instance, he makes sure someone can do things with just one thumb, ensuring a certain task can be completed in seconds, not minutes. "When these constraints are grounded in how people actually use their mobiles, you've given yourself a great way to tell if you're going in the right direction with your design."
5. Respect the importance of taps.
Every swipe, tap and action a user takes is important and has a lasting impact on user experience. "When people feel like they are making progress towards something they care about, they'll be more tolerant of an extra tap or swipe," says Wroblewski. "But for the most part, if you increase effort, you tend to decrease participation."
The CEO of Hotel Tonight illustrated that booking a hotel on his app requires only three taps and a swipe, totaling about eight seconds. He compared it to Priceline's mobile process (52 taps, 102 seconds) and Hotels.com's app (40 taps, 109 seconds).
The inverse is also true — moving actions a "tap away" can have negative consequences. Wroblewski cites the Microsoft mobile Internet Explorer team, which, in an effort to simplify their UI, moved the buttons for browser tabs and favorites under a "more" menu. After all, what's one more tap? Turned out it was a lot. Restoring one-tap access to tabs and favorites was overwhelmingly the No. 1 feature request of mobile IE; it actually made the top 20 list across all of the Windows Phones.
While recent years have seen an explosive growth in the mobile app industry, Wroblewski feels there is still a lot to be learned, which is why mobile remains so exciting. We're still in a period of enormous growth as more of the world comes online, increasingly through a mobile device. It's taken some time to start shedding our PC tendencies, but more uniquely mobile designs emerge every day.

US Patent Office grants Biogen Idec broad protection for multiple sclerosis pill
Federal officials Tuesday gave Biogen Idec Inc. 15-year patent protection for its multiple sclerosis pill Tecfidera, which is awaiting US regulatory approval.
The biotechnology company, based in Weston, said the US Patent Office granted a patent covering the 480-milligram daily dose for dimethyl fumarate, the active ingredient in Tecfridera, through 2028. That is the dosing amount sought in Biogen Idec's new drug application, which the Food and Drug Administration is expected to rule on this month.
"It's a very good outcome for Biogen Idec and for multiple sclerosis patients as well,'' said Steven Holtzman, the company executive vice president for corporate development.
Shares of Biogen Idec edged up 9 cents, or 0.05 percent, to $175.61 on Tuesday.
The patent will hold off the entry of generic competition longer than previously anticipated. It will do so by preventing competitors from deploying oral MS drugs using the same active ingredient at the dosing level Biogen Idec found effective in late-stage clinical trials. Biogen Idec is proposing that patients take two 240-milligram Tecfidera capsules daily.
Biogen Idec has received a "notice of allowance'' for a similar patent in the European Union, the last administrative step before the patent is granted, Holtzman said. The company previously secured US and European patents covering the drug's method of treating MS with the active ingredient. Those patents, which did not include the dosing regimen, expire in 2020, though the company would have the potential to extend both through the early 2020s.
The idea of extending them further grew out of the company's recognition that the drug could prove effective at a lower dosage than the 700 milligrams given at earlier-stage trials.
"In clinical trials, we made the key discovery that by administering Tecfidera at this (480-milligram) dose we got good results in amelioration of the disease,'' Holtzman said, noting that the dosing regimen ultimately "qualified as an invention'' before the US Patent Office.
If the FDA grants approval, Tecfidera would become Biogen Idec's third MS drug on the market in the United States. It currently sells Avonex, an interferon that was one of the first treatments for the autoimmune disease, and the newer drug Tysabri. The disease affects the brain and central nervous systems of about 400,000 Americans and 2.5 million people globally.

Manchester United's new boss Jose Mourinho is expected to give evidence at an employment tribunal brought by former Chelsea first-team doctor over alleged sexual discrimination.
Dr Eva Carneiro reportedly turned down a settlement offer of £1.2 million ahead of the hearing.
She claims she was sexually discriminated against by Mourinho, the club's then manager, who it's alleged abused her as she went on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard last August, on the opening day of the Premier League season.
She alleges that Mourinho shouted in Portuguese "filha da puta" - meaning 'daughter of a whore' - as she ran onto the pitch during the clash with Swansea.
The panel at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon was read an extract from Mourinho's statement in which he conceded that he used the term "filho da puta", meaning "son of of a whore", but insisted he had been using it throughout the match.
He said: "Filho da puta is a phrase I often use, all of the players know it. There is no sexist connotation in the use of the phrase - it is just like saying 'f*** off'.
"In the world of football, a lot of swear words are used."
He added that Cesc Fabregas had used the Spanish equivalent of the term when a Chelsea player was fouled during the game.
In his statement, Mourinho said: "Cesc and I both speak English well, but in the heat of the game we both swear in our mother language.
"Eva was not on the pitch at that point in time."
Mary O'Rourke QC, representing Dr Carneiro, said: "He uses the word 'filha' because he is abusing a woman."
In an opening argument, she argues the expression is "very offensive" and that it was aimed at her client because she was the "only female pitch-side".
Preliminary matters in the case were dealt with on Monday morning, after the parties failed to agree a settlement which would have prevented a public hearing.
A skeleton argument submitted to the tribunal, on behalf of Chelsea FC and Mourinho, stated that Dr Carneiro had been "made an open offer of £1.2 million to settle her claims".
It continued: "The respondents have taken these steps only because they believe that it is in no-one's interests that this dispute should be determined through litigation.
"They are conscious that, whatever the facts of the matter, it is likely to be widely and incorrectly assumed that they could have avoided this coming tribunal."
It continued that contemporaneous documents showed that Dr Carneiro did not consider Mourinho's actions to be discriminatory.
The skeleton argument said: "The purpose of the discrimination claim was to lift the statutory cap, in order to justify the claimant's extravagant compensation claim."
Dr Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against Chelsea and has a separate, but connected, personal legal action against Mourinho, who left the club in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination.

The case, which is anticipated to be heard over seven to 10 days, is not expected to begin hearing evidence from the 42-year-old doctor until Tuesday afternoon.
Ms O'Rourke, for the claimant, told the hearing she is likely to take at least a day to cross-examine Mourinho, who did not attend the first day of the case.
Also present during the hearing was Chelsea's head of communications and PR, Steve Atkins.
Dr Carneiro arrived at the tribunal in a powder blue coat and cream dress, holding hands with her husband, polar explorer Jason De Carteret.
She was dropped as Chelsea's first-team doctor last year after then-manager Mourinho angrily berated her and physio Jon Fearn for going on to the pitch.
Their action meant that Chelsea were temporarily down to nine men, and afterwards Mourinho called Dr Carneiro and Mr Fearn "impulsive and naive".
Dr Carneiro did not appear on the bench again for first-team duties and later parted company with the club.
The tribunal was adjourned until 2pm on Tuesday.

What is respiratory distress syndrome in premature babies?
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common problem in premature babies. It causes babies to need extra oxygen and help with breathing. The course of illness with RDS depends on:
RDS typically gets worse over the first 48 to 72 hours. It then gets better with treatment.
RDS occurs when there is not enough surfactant in the lungs. This is a liquid made by the lungs that keeps the airways (alveoli) open. This liquid makes it possible for babies to breathe in air after delivery. An unborn baby starts to make surfactant at about 26 weeks of pregnancy. If a baby is premature, he or she may not have made enough surfactant yet.
When there is not enough surfactant, the tiny alveoli collapse with each breath. As the alveoli collapse, damaged cells collect in the airways. They further affect breathing. The baby has to work harder and harder to breathe trying to re-inflate the collapsed airways.
As the baby's lung function gets worse, the baby takes in less oxygen. More carbon dioxide builds up in the blood. This can lead to increased acid in the blood (acidosis). This condition can affect other body organs. Without treatment, the baby becomes exhausted trying to breathe and eventually gives up. A ventilator must do the work of breathing instead.
RDS occurs most often in babies born before the 28th week of pregnancy. Some premature babies get RDS severe enough to need a breathing machine (ventilator). The more premature the baby, the higher the risk and the more severe the RDS.
Although most babies with RDS are premature, other things can raise the risk of getting the disease. These include:
These are the most common symptoms of RDS:
The symptoms of RDS usually peak by the third day. They may go away quickly when the baby starts to urinate. When a baby gets better, he or she needs less oxygen and mechanical help to breathe.
The symptoms of RDS may look like other health conditions. Make sure your baby sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
RDS is usually diagnosed by a combination of the following:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Treatment for RDS may include:
Babies sometimes have complications from RDS treatment. As with any disease, more severe cases often have greater risks for complications. Some complications of RDS include:
Preventing a premature birth is the main way to prevent RDS. When a premature birth can't be prevented, you may be given corticosteroids before delivery. These medicines may greatly lower the risk and severity of RDS in the baby. These steroids are often given between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy to women at risk of early delivery. But if the delivery is very quick or unexpected, there may not be time to give the steroids. Or they may not have a chance to start working.

WASHINGTON (AP/Gray News) - President Donald Trump said Republicans are unified in their push for a border wall on Wednesday after meeting with GOP leaders. Later, he walked out of meeting that included Democrats when he was told they still would not agree to one.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, said after the meeting that Trump asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "Will you agree to my wall?"
When she told him no, he got up and left.
"Then we have nothing to discuss," the president said, according to Schumer.
The president also called the meeting a "total waste of time" in a tweet afterward.
Vice President Mike Pence backed the president in remarks after the meeting.
"I think the president made his position very clear today that there will be no deal without a wall," he said. "There will be no deal without the priorities the president has put on the table"
Speaking on her way back to the Capitol, Pelosi said "it wasn't even a high-stakes negotiation, it was a petulant president of the United States," CNN reported.
Earlier, Trump said there was "no discussion about anything other than solidarity" after a separate meeting that included only Republican Congressional leaders.
"We want national security and border security for our country," he said.
While Trump said there was some talk of strategy regarding the impasse that has left nine federal agencies shuttered since Dec. 22, he characterized it more as a rallying of the troops.
"They're with us all the way," he said of GOP lawmakers. "The Republicans are totally unified."
Speaking to the nation from the Oval Office for the first time, Trump argued Tuesday night that the wall was needed to resolve a security and humanitarian "crisis," blaming illegal immigration for what he said was a scourge of drugs and violence in the U.S. and asking: "How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?"
Democrats in response accused Trump appealing to "fear, not facts" and manufacturing a border crisis for political gain.
Using the formal trappings of the White House, Trump hoped to gain the upper hand in the standoff over his demand for $5.7 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He plans a visit to the border Thursday as he continues to pitch what was a signature promise of his 2016 presidential campaign.
He addressed the nation as the shutdown stretched through its third week, with hundreds of thousands of federal workers going without pay and some congressional Republicans growing increasingly jittery about the spreading impact of the impasse.
For now, Trump sees this as winning politics.
TV networks had been reticent about providing him airtime to make what some feared would be a purely political speech. And that concern was heightened by the decision Tuesday by Trump's re-election campaign to send out fundraising emails and text messages to supporters trying to raise money off the speech. Their goal: A half-million dollars in a single day.
"I just addressed the nation on Border Security. Now need you to stand with me," read one message sent out after his remarks.
In their own televised remarks, Pelosi and Schumer accused Trump of misrepresenting the situation on the border as they urged him to reopen closed government departments and turn loose paychecks for hundreds of thousands of workers.
Negotiations on wall funding could proceed in the meantime, they said.
Schumer said Trump "just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration."
In his address, Trump ticked off a string of statistics and claims to make his case that there is a crisis at the border, but a number of his statements were misleading, such as saying the new trade deal with Mexico would help pay for the wall, or suggesting through gruesome examples that immigrants are more likely to commit crime.
Trump, who has long railed against illegal immigration at the border, has recently seized on humanitarian concerns to argue there is a broader crisis that can only be solved with a wall.
But critics say the security risks are overblown and the administration is at least partly to blame for the humanitarian situation.
Trump used emotional language, referring to Americans who were killed by people in the country illegally, saying: "I've met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by illegal immigration. I've held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. So sad. So terrible."
The president often highlights such incidents, though studies over several years have found immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the United States.
Trump has been discussing the idea of declaring a national emergency to allow him to move forward with the wall without getting congressional approval for the billions he's requested. But he did not mention that Tuesday night.
The partial government shutdown reached its 18th day on Wednesday, making the closure the second-longest in history.

Check Out These Insane Views From Brooklyns First 1,000+ Foot Tower
By Ondel Hylton
September 25, 2015
Seeing the boroughs from sky-high heights is nothing new thanks to all the supertall towers in Manhattan, but its not as common to have a panoramic view of our main island, which is why we had to share this video. JDS Development posted the short clip on their Instagram stream yesterday that shows potential views from their upcoming mixed-use skyscraper planned for Downtown Brooklyn using air rights from the Dime Savings Bank site. If constructed as intended, it will be the first 1,000+ foot tower outside of Manhattan. The nine-second video, whose camera height seems nearly eye-level to the 1,368-foot roof of One World Trade Center, depicts far-reaching, panoramic views to the west and northwest over Manhattan and beyond.

Lloyd Bosworth: Archaeology Technician, Classical and Archaeological Studies, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
My day started like any other day for me. Wake up at 7:30am (ish), make a coffee, put the Today programme on the radio and shamble about the house until the caffeine kicks in. The morning is also when I catch up with the US archaeology blogs that I follow.
Arrival at Work
First order of business is to turn on my workstation and, while that wakes up, make another cup of coffee.
I check my emails.
I'm waiting for a reply from English Heritage to my request for a license to carry out a geophysical survey at Bigbury Camp Iron Age hillfort, near Canterbury. It seems like I've been waiting ages for a reply, but it's really only been two weeks.
This being Friday, my whole day is set aside for working on Professor Ray Laurence and Dr. Francesco Trifilò's Leverhulme Trust funded research project on age across the Roman Empire.
A Little Background for the Uninitiated
Because Roman law forbade burial within settlements, the roads leading to and from Roman cities were lined with tombs and cemeteries. What may strike us as unusual, or at least unusual to our understanding of modern burial practices, is that the deceased's age at death was not always recorded on their memorial. This is not to say that this practice was rare, just far from standard across the Empire.
What Ray and Francesco are doing is looking at the ages recorded on memorials and picking up patterns in the overall distribution of the range of chronological age at specific archaeological sites.
My Part In This
This research has produced a unique database containing around 24,000 entries. That's 24,000 individual burials from across the Roman Empire; each entry recording many different pieces of information about the deceased, including their name, age, memorial inscription, and, in many cases, their social status, too. But this is not the only information recorded, as there is often the same detailed information about the person who erected the memorial.
My part in this is to prepare the database for analysis within GIS (Geographic Information System) software, which can be used to plot density and distribution patterns in the data and display this visually over a map of the Roman Empire.
The database as it stands isn't suitable for using within GIS, because each entry represents an individual. To be able to plot density based on ages, I've been combining entries that share the same age and sex. For example, if there are ten entries from Carthage for females aged 9, it will become one entry for females aged 9 from Carthage, with a total count of ten.
Once the database has been prepared, it'll be time to start querying the data and plotting density maps to see what the data says about chronological age across the Roman Empire.
While I've been working on the database, I've also created a website that will host the GIS and tabular data. The GIS server will be able to draw maps based on a user's query, so that anyone can view the patterns in the data for themselves.
What Does the Data Show
Well, there's not much I can say about the findings of the study, because, one, it isn't finished yet, and two, I can't just spill the beans about it. What I can say, however, is that age data from memorials is not a credible demographic tool. The declaration of age on the memorials appears to conform to the set of key ages which were considered of crucial importance to Roman society. A contemporary example could be the age of retirement as an indicator of the beginning of old age, or the age of 21 as a common indicator of a person's entry into the world of adulthood.
Children are also poorly represented in the data. But, within this under-representation, there are greater and smaller numbers which may mean something. Roman Law explicitly stated that a child under three years was not permitted a proper funeral, (although simply having a tombstone didn't necessarily mean that you had had a proper funeral, either). This may sound harsh to us, but, as infant mortality was much higher than it is today, they would have been more used to child death, and so there would be a certain desensitisation over an event that today would be horrific to experience. However, before we condemn Roman parents as monsters, there is a peak in the data for the age of three, which could be showing instances in which the parents lied about the child's age in order to provide a proper funeral
Final Thoughts
So, working my way through data on 24,000 burials may be quite repetitive and a little morbid, but this kind of information is the bread and butter of archaeology. The repetition does allow time for an inevitable reflection upon life and death, though. I doubt there is an archaeologist who isn't moved to these same reflections when dealing with data derived from burials. When data like this are analysed, what gets thrown out the other end are impersonal numbers; the reduction of 24,000 lives to a single statistic can't really get much more impersonal!
But I think it's impossible to forget that these were real people, as I think this one, randomly selected inscription shows:
[quote style="boxed"]To the spirits of the dead. Lucius Annius Festus [set this up] for the most saintly Cominia Tyche, his most chaste and loving wife, who lived 27 years, 11 months, and 28 days, and also for himself and for his descendants.[/quote]
Is this really any different to what you'd find on a gravestone today? Lucius was obviously devoted to his wife, and he must have grieved at her passing. You or I would feel no different.
There's still much work to be done, so I'll finish this here. Thanks for reading!
A note on the title of this entry:
The phrase 'Dis Manibus Sacrum', (often shortened to D.M.S.), is found on many Roman graves. The Manes, to which it refers, were the spirits of the dead, so it can be translated as "Sacred to the Spirit-Gods" or, more loosely, "To The Memory Of…".

String wasn't a passion of mine until I saw that boy in the playground tying a piece of string around a pole. Simple. Utilitarian, yet playful. What began as a satirical concept transformed into something far greater than I could ever have imagined. But that's what string does. It unravels, tangles, invites, frustrates, delights. One moment it's screaming of the complex over-connectedness of our modern lives, then all of a sudden it's a whimsical game. The neatly machine-rolled order became a functionally useless, colourful chaos that found its place and had its say.

The plan by the country's top soldier to outfit troops with new U.S.-style camouflage uniforms is a waste of tax dollars as the current Canadian-developed pattern is still among the best available, says one of the world's top designers of military camouflage.
In addition, the current Canadian camouflage pattern is owned by the federal government so there is no need to pay royalties for its use and the material is strictly controlled, preventing other forces from using it, said Guy Cramer, president of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp., a firm that has provided camouflage patterns to 40 different nations.
The U.S.-style pattern is widely available in surplus stores and is in use by more than 20 countries, including by Russian special forces, Cramer said. At one point during the Syrian war, both Russian and American special forces were wearing almost the same type of uniform on the battlefield.
The National Post reported last week that Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jon Vance is pushing for a plan to spend an estimated $500 million on new uniforms with a U.S. military camouflage pattern known as "MultiCam."
"As much as I would love a contract with the Canadian military, I don't believe they need to change," said Cramer, who did not play a role in the development of the existing Canadian pattern. "Half a billion dollars can be used in many other areas other than trying to improve on something that doesn't need improvement right now."
Christie Blatchford: Defence chief wants to toss Canadian-made uniforms for U.S. version — at a cost of $500M
Except for special forces, most Canadian soldiers now wear "CADPAT," short for "Canadian Disruptive Pattern," a Canadian-developed digital camouflage print that comes in several varieties and for which the Canadian government has a copyright and trademark. The uniforms are manufactured by a number of Canadian companies.
In a seven-page briefing note on Vance's recent visit to Halifax, the general's senior staff officers last month wrote, "The CDS stated his desire to replace" current uniforms with the new "MultiCam" pattern now being used by the U.S. military and Canada's special forces.
MultiCam is a patented brand made by Crye Precision of New York and is in use by the U.S. military. Militaries pay royalties to the firm to use the pattern.
But Cramer noted NATO testing has shown CADPAT to be still a highly effective camouflage, even though the pattern was developed almost 20 years ago.
Pat Finn, the Defence Department's procurement chief, said it is still too early to determine how the military will proceed on the issue of uniforms. Various options are being examined, he added.
It is possible the military will purchase small quantities of new uniforms and test them sometime this fall, Finn said. "We're looking at different patterns (and) configurations," he added.
Half a billion dollars can be used in many other areas other than trying to improve on something that doesn't need improvement
Canadian Army commander Lt.-Gen. Jean Marc Lanthier said the process is to examine whether the army has the right equipment for evolving environments. He noted that Vance asked him to look at various options but the chief did like MultiCam. "What he likes is the colour pattern, the mix of colours, the predominance of brown," Lanthier explained.
According to the July 11 briefing note signed by Vance's senior staff officer, Lt.-Col. Geoffrey Mundy, and special adviser Col. Jamie Speiser-Blanchet and obtained by the National Post, Vance told personnel in Nova Scotia that the arid pattern CADPAT he saw on soldiers arriving in Mali was so worn it will "likely have to be disposed of."
Vance, the note said, wants to see the whole Canadian Forces adopt the special forces' "MultiCam."
But Cramer said just because uniforms are worn doesn't mean a country has to switch to a new camouflage pattern. Instead, it creates new uniforms using the same effective patterns it has developed, he added.
"The problem is, when you get someone at the top who sees something, that to them might look effective, that doesn't mean it is effective," Cramer said. "It's going to be hard to change that perception. Once the people at the top get their minds set on something, everything becomes very difficult at that point to modify."
Finn also acknowledged the lack of security controls over MultiCam and the fact that numerous militaries, including the Russians, now wear the same or similar uniforms. "We would have to consider those factors, absolutely," he added.

Despite the growing popularity of mixed martial arts, the community consisting of the sport's top-level athletes remains a relatively small group.
It's a lesson "The Ultimate Fighter 12" semifinalist Kyle Watson (13-6-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) learned quickly when his bosses offered him a UFC 129 matchup with undefeated Canadian prospect John Makdessi (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).
Watson sparred with Makdessi at Montreal's Tri-Star Gym during "The Bull's" pre-UFC days, but he admits he didn't scrutinize the striker as a potential future foe. Adding to the challenge? Makdessi's teammate, Georges St-Pierre, was Watson's coach during his "TUF" run.
"While I was up there (at Tri-Star), I did get to train with [Makdessi], not knowing at the time that I was going to be fighting him," Watson recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Obviously, I would have liked to have taken better mental notes. Not knowing who he was at the time, I was more focused on the other guys who wanted to take my head off like Miguel Torres and some of the other good guys that were up there that we were training with. I would have liked to have given him the attention he deserved, checking out his skillset. But yeah, we did some rounds.
"I did not get to grapple with him at all. I didn't wrestle or do any groundwork at all, so I didn't get to see that aspect of his game, but we did get to spar a little, so we both have an idea of what each other is bringing to the table."
After earning a submission win over Joseph Duffy to earn his way into the "TUF" house, Watson trained under St-Pierre while defeating Andy Main and Aaron Wilkinson before falling one step short of the finals by dropping a decision to Jonathan Brookins.
Watson then was invited to compete on the season's live finale, where in his official octagon debut he earned a decision win over Sako Chivitchian.
Now Watson steps on to the biggest stage in UFC history, a slot on the UFC's first-ever stadium show, where a crowd of some 55,000 rabid fans are expected to pack Toronto's Rogers Centre for this Saturday's event. And while Watson believes his former coach has probably offered his opponent some tips, he also thinks St-Pierre's focus leading into a main event title defense with top challenger Jake Shields has probably trumped any desire to share "TUF" training experiences.
"Even though I was with Georges on the show, I'm still not technically from his camp, so I've got to expect Georges to give him as much insight as possible," Watson said. "That's who he trains with. Do I think it will be super-extensive? Maybe not. Georges obviously has his own thing to focus on, but I definitely think he'll help him out and give him some thoughts. That's OK though.
"My whole goal since I've been off the show is just to continue to work so that I get as far from one-dimensional as possible and just really have a full arsenal. I definitely have some tricks up my sleeve."
Exactly where those tricks lie remains to be seen. Known as a submission artist, it would seem the H.I.T. Squad grappling instructor would want the fight on the floor. Conversely, Makdessi's Shotokan karate background and six career knockout wins would seem to indicate he's hoping to bang it out on the feet.
Watson said both assumptions are far too elementary.
"Obviously, people know I like the ground," Watson said. "But I have a ton of respect for the guy. He trains at a great gym. Those guys know what they're doing up there. They obviously know how to put together a great gameplan. They train everything, so he's like I am. People know the ground's where I prefer to be, but I'm training everything. I know he's training everything, as well.
"I usually don't talk about [gameplan] too much, but I'm prepared for everything in this fight. A lot of people think it's probably going to be a classic striker vs. grappler fight, but I'm not looking at it like that, at all. I'm looking at it as wherever the fight goes, I'm going to be the aggressor."
Watson and Makdessi will meet on the evening's Facebook.com-streamed preliminary card. Despite the early slot on the card, the Rogers Centre is likely to rocking, and record "Fight Night" bonuses will surely be on the line for everyone involved in the card. With both those thoughts in mind, Watson is ready to prove his first UFC win was no fluke while handing the explosive Makdessi his first-ever defeat.
"He's undefeated for a reason," Watson said. "I definitely have the mentality this isn't going to be a quick, 'I go in there, get to the ground and submit him' kind of a thing. I'm giving him the respect he deserves.
"I'm definitely going to come in and bring it."

This retreat was a combination of yoga classes, recovery meetings, outdoor adventures, & opportunities to socialize w. other attendees. I felt comfortable participating in all of the activities and embraced opportunities to push my comfort zone, to challenge myself to reach new levels in several areas. Because of that, I left the retreat feeling more capable & confident. I feel as though I did an energy cleanse at this retreat, created new healthy habits, & also made new friends. Everything about the retreat was a very positive experience.
The trip was AWESOME! The yoga was unbelievable, everyone on the trip was genuine and caring, the cook was out of this world. The only issue was trying to arrange transport on our own to the beach, our driver was either super late (pura vida) or didn't show. Things run late in general in Costa Rica so it's hard to know.
Exceeded my expectations!
This trip was incredible. The yoga instructor Dana taught me a lot about yamas and niyamas, she arranged for us to go on adventures of river rafting, horse back riding & zip lining. We also . went to the beach, toured a coffee processing facility, went to another beach, did a sunset cruise on a catamaran, swam to the beach and back and danced like crazy! Ate great food, made good friends, did more yoga, chanted, meditated, shared experience, strength and hope, did some journaling and committed to being kinder to ourselves and others! ALL of this in one beautiful week! Looking forward to joining her & my new friends in Thailand. Woohooo
El Sabanero is a wonderful retreat. The perfect mix of rustic and authentic living. The pool and open areas create safe spaces for bonding and connecting. The cabinas are very comfortable!
Amazing group of new friends! Wonderful rustic setting well cared for property with amazing staff. Can not say enough about Dana K. gracious talented Ambassador yoga instructor! I will be using trip tribe again and I hope to experience many more adventures!
I enjoyed my stay at the Lodge. The workers there were great. They were so welcoming, helpful, and ensured any of our needs were met. Yoga classes with Jessica were really nice. Jessica provided yoga classes at least once every day.
The trip was wonderful! Just a beautiful spot in Costa Rica and an amazing group of yogis.
Trip Tribe makes these wonderful trips possible. The small payments aregreat!
This was my 2nd retreat at ElSabanero, and I didn't want to leave when it was over! This place has a piece of my heart and soul! The grounds are peaceful and encourage reflection and self care. The staff is amazing and take care of our needs, and the food is delicious! I've already set up for the 3rd annual Joyful Energy and Recovery Retreat next year! Until then, Namaste to El Sabanero and all of the staff there!
This retreat was truly incredible! From the trip leaders, the fellow adventurers, the staff, the activities (yoga, meditation, catamaran trip), the AMAZING food, the experiences and the safe space created for us. I cannot rave about this trip enough. I am hoping to do another one next year!! I am so grateful that I took the chance to go to a place I had never been before and doing it alone. It was worth every single penny! I feel like every woman should have this experience at least once in their lifetime. For me, it truly was life changing and I have thought about aspects of this trip every day since I returned three weeks ago. HIGHLY, highly recommend this!!!
This trip was an amazing week of delving deep and coming up transformed. Jenny Adams has a way of taking o group of strangers and holding the space for us to become sisters. I will seek out her trips moving forward.
As a first time leader of a yoga retreat I was so thankful for this location and this area of Costa Rica!!
We had an amazing time! The location is perfect. Close to Tamarindo for shopping and restaurants and of course, the beach. The staff of El Sabanero were all lovely and so helpful. I would highly recommend booking here.
I thought El Sabanero and all the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The chef was great as well as the fruit, the coffee and the chalets with the resident iguanas. The sounds of all the different birds and the howling monkeys soon became sounds of relaxation. I can't speak too highly of Lindsay, our group leader. She shared with us her extensive knowledge of yoga , but more than that, she gave so much of herself. Yoga is so much more than a practice, but a lifestyle . Lindsay's outlook on life is so inspirational and sincere. The cohesiveness of our group was awesome, making this such an ideal retreat... full of reflection, laughter, beauty and friendship. I'm personally looking forward to another opportunity to go on a "Lindsay" retreat.
Our group had an amazing time enjoying yoga twice a day, surfing, and other adventure activities. There weren't enough hours in the day to do everything we wanted to do. Thanks Trip Tribe!
My trip was wonderful and I would definitely go again
Had an amazing time in Costa Rica with a wonderful group of people. The yoga classes were exactly what I needed; challenging, but not so much to make me collapse onto the floor. The additional activities were a blast too. We went ziplining, horseback riding, tubing on the river, did acroyoga on the beach, went hiking... and most important, made new friends.
Most extraordinary experience. El Sabanero was the perfect accommodation for the retreat, with amazing food! From start to finish, everything ran smoothly. Bianca did an awesome job with the schedule and yoga classes. Would do it over again in a heart beat!
From the time we arrived to the time we left, we all had an amazing time. The space was terrific for lounging, meeting, working out, dining... and the food was terrific, (Donald the chef is a master of his craft.) Not too far from some really amazing beaches and lots of outdoor activity for anyone who is game... it's a great opportunity to connect with Costa Rica outdoors. We had an EPIC day doing the "all-day" tour. I am still buzzing about the time we spent together on this retreat. We were able to get some workouts in the morning, explore parts of Costa Rica in the afternoon, and recover and relax in the evening back at the lodge. What a hospitable and comfortable place. Harold, the manager, was so helpful to all of us. I can't say enough good things.
We enjoyed our trip.
Good company, beautiful pool and scenery surrounding the pool. The food was amazing.
Very much a remote, secluded location - perfect for a yoga retreat. Rustic and very basic, people need to keep this in mind as it is exactly what you are signing up for - a soul retreat within nature. If you want luxury, go to the Four Seasons.
This trip was amazing! Everything from the planning stage all the way through to the last day was taken care of and I felt cared for and supported. This was my first experience with Trip Tribe, and certainly not my last! I am planning two more retreats at El Sabanero right now, as this venue was perfect to relax, eat, swim and play in town and at the beach just a short drive away. The food was delicious and the staff at El Sabanero were just fantastic!
It was the best vacation I have taken to date. I plan on using trip tribe in the future and definitely another yoga retreat with Dana Keegan. The location was beautiful, the food was exquisite, and the yoga was perfect in allowing me to adjust to a slower pace.
Such an amazing Experience! Dana was a wonderful teacher, the staff and food at the resort were the best! Great experience and looking forward to going back next year!
Costa Rica was the best trip I have ever taken. Trip Tribe made it possible with easy payments and friendly email reminders.
My trip was fantastic. Costa Rica is amazing with a laid back vibe. The food was healthy and delicious. I would also recommend getting a message from Ana. PURA VIDA!!!!!
Harold from El Sabanero Eco Lodge was incredibly accommodating. Even driving me into town several times to shop and to the bank. He went above and beyond.
Everything was PERFECT! Thank you El Sabanero for everything!!!! Can not say enough great things about this place and the retreat itself. The food was excellent, the owners were kind, welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful, the rooms are beautiful as well as the yoga space, and there are many things to do in the local area. The pool was relaxing, and Costa Rica is just a sweet place, Pura Vida!
My trip was amazing! I highly recommend it!
Had a lot of fun and introspection with some great people
This trip was nothing short of perfect.
My Tribe Trip experience was great, i had a wonderful time, i was able to relax and meet a lot of new friends. Thanks Costa Rica for letting us enjoy your beautiful sunsets and sunrises,your rain and your delicious food. Pura Vida!!
Unbelievably beautiful. Friendly, courteous staff. Food was prepared and offered for all discriminating palates, a 5-star rating for sure. Butterflies, flowers, birds and gorgeous landscaping surround this tropical paradise. A place to truly get away and unwind. Hammocks await afternoon naps while the pool calls for a refreshing swim. Safe, inviting and highly recommended.
Amazing !!! More than expected I will remember this trip always. New friends new memories new bonds.
absolutely amazing !
Amazing experience, highly recommend! A lot of memory, experience and skilled gained! Workshops where great and teachers were attentive and accommodating.
My trip was more than amazing! From the wonderful view, amazing food, awesome people!
Harold, Donald the chef, Kurt, Fernando and the rest of the staff are AMAZING!! The food Donald cooked for us everyday and night was healthy , delicious , absolutely the best!! I actually was not feeling welll one of the nights and Harold drove me to the pharmacy!(top service) The sweetest staff you could ask for and treated our group like family! Kurt and Harold had the best stories! My sister and I had the best vacation ever!! We will definitely be back! 💕
Loved that there was no fuss with vegan food. Everyone was friendly.
Practicing yoga in the open air studio was refreshing. The outdoor sights and sounds were nourishing for body and soul.
What a wonderful experience! Trip Tribe was fantastic throughout the process especially this being our first retreat with a very large group attending. The staff at El Sabanero could not have been more hospitable. Harold, the resort manager communicated directly with me throughout the process answering questions as they came up. Donald and Hazel, our chefs were wonderful. They worked with varying dietary needs of our large group of 33 students. Yoga space was lovely and even enjoyed a closing ceremony bonfire at the fire pit. Already planning our next retreat! PURA VIDA!
Trip was fabulous
I had a great time! The trip was all I hoped it would be!
Had a truly wonderful time.
Our time in Costa Rica was fabulous. The lodge was great. Harold, Donald and the others at the eco lodge took great care of all of us. Great food and location. The yoga studio where we practiced was outdoors and beautiful. Trip Tribe made the trip easy and reasonable.
I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to share my love for yoga with so many great people. And to do this in such a beautiful country was definitely a bonus. I will always cherish the memory of this retreat experience!
Foundations and Flow with Tina and Christina at El Sabanero was a truly special experience and one that I will never forget. This trip was a unique opportunity to create a close-knit community from people that had been only barely acquainted before. The natural environment, pool, and open-air yoga studio provided the perfect peaceful setting to recharge and relax. The lodge itself is rustic and a bit far from major attractions. The scenery is not the lush jungle one might imagine when picturing Costa Rica, but it is only about 20 minutes from beautiful beaches. I cannot highly enough recommend Christina and Tina as yoga instructors and spiritual leaders, nor can I praise adequately the healthy and delicious food, prepared mostly by Donald and Hazel.
Couldn't have asked for a better first experience on a yoga retreat! The lodge was tucked away in a very small secluded area which was nice and transportation is a must to venture out. The food provided by Donald was mind blowing. The opportunity to practice above the lodges was incredible, practices were greeted with gorgeous views and a variety of local sounds. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
This was a life altering experience, The people! The accommodation! The FOOD!!!!! Dear God the Food! What amazing people who run El Sabanaro. And my amazing new and old friends who joined me have forever impacted my journey. Thank you Trip Tribe for making this so easy!!
I've never come home from a vacation so recharged and peaceful. I can't wait to come back!
Had an awesome time! Lots of fun, laughter, wonderful excursions, good food, great workouts, had time to recharge and the staff was very accommodating. Can't wait to go on another retreat!
I loved it. El Sabanero Eco Lodge is the perfect place. Kurt and Harold are lovely hosts. The meals were the best I've ever had - ANYWHERE.
This was a wonderful trip. The yoga was great. Gail is a terrific teacher. She makes the yoga appropriate for each person that is there.
The overall trip was amazing. Met or exceeded my expectations at every level. Loved the outdoor yoga studio and beautiful views we enjoyed with each practice. Weather was perfect this time of year.
Loved, loved El Sabanero! Everything went as scheduled, and everyone was so friendly and accommodating!
This trip was excellent. El Sabenero, A beautiful and great place to disconnect and relax. The retreat allowed me to experience new ways/perspetive on loving myself first. I highly reccomend this trip overall, hospitality was excellent. Everything was just perfect!
The entire staff at El Sabanero was amazing! Harold, Donald, Hazel, Amit and Fernando were a dream team. We were well fed, taken care of, and given space when we needed it. The setting was so peaceful and beautiful I would highly recommend it!
WOW. Just WOW. Considering that A. this was my first yoga retreat and B. this was my first time traveling with Trip Tribe, I am entirely blown away and slightly addicted! I traveled with my boyfriend, who is NOT a yogi (bu really enjoyed the trip!!). We loved meeting new people and exploring with such a fun group of singles, friends, other couples and fellow travelers: Details: First of all, the coordination of flights and transportation was perfect. Everything went smoothly. Trip Tribe communicated everything we needed to know well ahead of our departure and Amy, the trip ambassador, supplemented with additional information as needed. Once we arrived at our destination, I was pleased to see that our accommodations at El Sabanero were humble, yet comfortable and adequate (think: clean but simple), and that there were common comforts like hot water (with some patience), safes and wifi (slowish wifi). They even provided a few shampoos, bars of soap and beach towels, which was unexpected. The natural surroundings of El Sabanero were beautiful and it was such a treat to stay in such a lovely natural environment. The general atmosphere at El Sabanero was amazing. The pool was lovely to swim in after our sweaty yoga sessions. The large meeting/eating space was tranquil and lovely. And the yoga spaces where we practiced were calm and peaceful. And the staff from all different parts of our trip -- from Harold to Hazel to Ana to Fernando to Donald, etc. -- were amazing, kind and welcoming. They made it really feel like home! The food at El Sabanero was AMAZING. A-MA-ZING. The kitchen staff really knows what they are doing and totally spoiled us with fresh bread, homemade gourmet meals and amazing dishes all week long. Even some of the packed lunches (for when we weren't there during lunch) were good! A HUGE thumbs up and major reason why you should stay at El Sabanero! Also, it doesn't hurt that beer/wine/cocktails are crazy affordable and also delicious! As for the yoga, Amy did her usual amazing thing. I've taken several classes of hers in DC, so I wasn't surprised to find that she taught similar wonderful classes in Costa Rica. Newbie or advanced, this girl's classes are a MUST-do! I particularly loved her Fusion Flow Yoga class (think martial arts meets HIIT meets yoga) and the nightly Nidra/Restorative classes. Major thumbs up for the quality of the classes, variety of classes and expertise of our instructor and trip ambassador! Additionally, I went to several beach visits during my trip with the group, and loved them both! I event tried my hand at surfing which was a total blast. I would also recommend getting a massage from Ana, going on the adventure tour and heading on the Catamaran Sunset sail (erm, skip that if you are seasick!). All in all, this was an amazing trip. Kudos!
Costa Rica was amazing! Great scenery, people, beaches and food! I highly recommend this trip to anyone!
The trip fulfilled every need I had coming into it- from peace on the mat, an amazing group of women, to a tranquil space for reflecting and growing. Shayna was the best retreat leader I could have asked for- attentive to all of our needs, supportive, warm, on top of every detail and aspect of the trip. Just fantastic.
Perfect location to retreat to and focus on what matters. Secluded yet close to beautiful beaches and towns. El Sabanerno felt like home. An excellent spot to wake up in and come home to after a day of exploring or soaking up the salt water with an Imperial in hand.
Incredible! Such a great group of people to spend my time with. Everyone was so positive and encouraging. I am looking forward to the next adventure with the hosts. Lets do this.
Words can not describe our unreal experiences, everyone stepped out of their comfort zone multiple times during the trip, faced their fears and most of all we all gained 15 new sisters. This trip was a truly unforgettable experience that all of us will keep close to our hearts for years to come. Our stay, the people, the country, the food is just amazing! #costaricarebels !!

We've touched on the possibility of restrictions on how consumers can record, timeshift, and listen to radio in the past. With the appearance of the HD Radio Content Protection Act of 2005 (PDF) (HDRCPA), the RIAA has spelled out its plans for
world domination controlling its music after it leaves the airwaves.
The increasing popularity of satellite radio along with digital radio broadcasts from FM broadcasters has the RIAA in mortal fear that no one will buy CDs anymore once they have the ability to make perfect copies of digital broadcasts. Devices such as the Sirius S50, which is capable of recording and timeshifting up to 50 hours of Sirius satellite radio broadcasts, are also drawing the wrath of the RIAA.
Receivers capable of receiving digital radio broadcasts went on sale in January 2004, and since their debut, the RIAA has expressed its concerns to members of the Consumer Electronics Association that their devices could be used for piracy. In a 2004 filing with the Federal Communications Commission in which it requested more stringent restraints on digital audio broadcasting, the RIAA played the old and tired piracy card:
...unprotected high-definition radio could become a popular substitute for the unauthorized peer-to-peer networks, as consumers could acquire all the music they want from free over-the-air broadcasts with CD-like quality without having to download any software, expose their computers to viruses and spyware or themselves to a copyright infringement lawsuit.
At that time, the RIAA said that it had "no intent" of keeping listeners from doing what they had always done in the past: hitting record to save a favorite song. Ah, so nice of the RIAA to throw a bone our way. One would hope the RIAA would keep this promise, especially since it has been able to do such an admirable job litigating P2P companies and networks out of business.
The HDRCPA would put limits on what could be stored on digital radio receivers—both digital and satellite—and how that content could be accessed. What kind of limits? See for yourself.
(A) permit recording only of specific programs, channels or time periods as selected by the user in increments of no less than thirty minutes duration, where no more than 50 hours of recorded material is stored at any one time, and recorded material is deleted or otherwise made inaccessible on a first-in, first-out basis;
(B) do not permit recording or playback based on information concerning specific soundrecordings, artists, genres or other user preferences;
(C) do not permit the automated disaggregation of the copyrighted material contained in any recording of a transmission program;
(D) effectively prevent access to the recorded material other than as described in this paragraph; and
(E) do not permit the redistribution, retransmission or other exporting of recorded material from the device by digital outputs or removable media.
As a result, saved recordings could expire in a matter of days (or hours), and consumers would be unable to transfer the recording to enjoy it on another device (e.g., your PC). As is typical of RIAA- and MPAA-sponsored legislation, it would at best severely curtail Fair Use rights. And it may very well have the effect of killing off a promising new medium. Why spend money on a digital radio receiver that provides a fraction of the functionality of the one you currently own?
It all comes back to money. As Ken pointed out in his article on attempts to plug the "analog hole," it's not about piracy at all. It's all about the Benjamins. The RIAA and MPAA envision a future where their control extends into every computer and consumer electronics device you own, and where you will have to pay every step of the way. Want to timeshift the broadcast you are listening to? Sure. Want to keep it for more than an hour? Pay up. Want to move it to your iPod? Pay up. Want to move it to your CD? Pay up. Want to burn it so you can listen in your car's CD player? Pay up. It will be an expensive future for all of us, if legislation like this gets passed.

For Christmas last year I got this 500gb EHD from the husband as an early gift (because he bought it around November):
Since Ane cannot exactly keep secrets from me, he confessed how much he paid for this nifty gadget (which I was obviously ecstatic over since my 80gb one was almost full of kits and photos!). Less than two weeks ago, we found ourselves buying another one for my friend Diane from our reliable and legit supplier. This EHD is now understandably cheaper than in November. We only paid about P1500 ( $35USD) less than the amount Ane paid for mine. Such a steal right? It was really a good deal and everybody's happy.
Now the next day, we were at the mall and passed by a well-known store. Imagine our surprise when we saw that the same product was being marked P1300 more than what we paid for in November!! No wonder there are lots of stocks in display because they're just way too expensive! I wonder if people actually buy from that store!
We should be wary of things like this. Be a wise consumer and do your research first! Why would you buy a product from a store that kind of charges you for their rent of space? Crazy.

Capturing Form Saigon Life Drawing New Venue
November 19, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saigon's life drawing community 'Capturing Form' has been running for over two years.
The classes are open to all levels and are undirected, however, on-the-spot tuition is available by me, Lilly, to individuals who feel they need extra support. I promote sharing of ideas and experiences – I believe one learns better this way.
Drawers usually arrive grab a beer or a bite before taking to their seats. There is no strict structure for the class. The sessions normally go from short poses to long poses. Occasionally I set a challenge, this is not compulsory, but it allows for some teaching to take place; change and challenge is always a good thing because it makes learning exciting and keeps students on their toes ☺ The ambience is relaxed, friendly and comes with a strong sense of community spirit; everyone's efforts are acknowledged and celebrated, including the models! There is no physical preference for models (if you are interested in modelling, please message me directly).
CFS is the first and only life drawing community in Vietnam to celebrate artist's artwork with an exhibition every year. Please feel free to browse the group page for the event photos.
I look forward to welcoming you in the near future.

Auburn, NH
November 09. 2012 9:21PM
BRENTWOOD - Auburn police stumbled upon a theft allegedly committed by one of their own earlier this year when a rifle seized from a home in 1992 and kept in the evidence room was missing, according to state prosecutors.
A Remington 30-06 rifle that retired police lieutenant David Flight had handed over after his wife alleged she was threatened by him with it in June 2009, according to investigators and court records, was missing.
An effort to purge the department of evidence it no longer needed - a customary practice in law enforcement - led to the discovery of Flight's alleged theft, according to investigators. Auburn police sergeants Charles Chabot and David Garfano were preparing court motions on Jan. 17, seeking a judge's permission to destroy a pair of rifles and a handgun seized from a convicted burlgar's home nearly two decades ago, investigators said.
The Remington rifle was among several weapons seized from the man, who was barred from owning weapons because of his felony conviction, according to Paul Brodeur, an investigator with the state Attorney General's Office.
The man had called police on Dec. 6, 1992 to report a home invasion, but left a variety of weapons he was barred from owning in plain sight of police.
Flight, then the evidence officer, had the man sign a consent form so police could take custody of the guns, two knives and a hunting bow, Brodeur said in a sworn affidavit. At the time, Flight, "was the only person who had access to the evidence room," Auburn police Chief Edward Picard later told investigators.
Flight served as the department's evidence officer for a decade, starting in 1990 before the duty was given to another officer, according to police interviewed by the state.
His alleged theft apparently went undetected for years, even after the department moved into a new station in the late 1990s and had all of its evidence transferred under the supervision of another police lieutenant, according to Brodeur's affidavit.
Police cataloged seized evidence using paper reports - one copy of the report went with the evidence, another went with the case file, Brodeur said in an affidavit for a search warrant. At least one copy of that report survived over the years, court documents indicate.
However it was domestic violence allegations made by Flight's wife, Angela, on June 6, 2009 that ultimately created a new paper trail for the missing Remington 30-06, according to the affidavit.
Once the gun briefly came back into police custody in 2009, its make and model number was recorded in the department's computer system, investigators said.
Chabot and Garfano went looking for the Remington in January based on the 1992 "possessed property" report, Brodeur said. When their search came up empty, Garfano typed in the rifle's serial number into the department's computer, which showed it was among guns taken from Flight's home in 2009.
State police had investigated Flight, regarding the domestic violence incident, and cleared him of any wrongdoing.
Picard then allowed Flight to return to work on Sept. 1, 2009, and take back the weapons seized from his home, the affidavit said. Nearly a year later, Flight retired after the town concluded its internal investigation into missing evidence from the department's evidence room. He left under a separation agreement that paid him $17,053.27. His annual salary was $60,952.
Auburn selectmen decided to upgrade security in the police department's evidence room with a motion-sensitive video camera and electronic key pad, following their internal investigation. Flight is currently free on bail as he awaits a jury trial in Rockingham County Superior Court.
He faces a pair of Class A felonies that could land him in state prison for 7½ to 15 years if convicted.
Flight was indicted by a Rockingham County grand jury in September on charges of theft by unauthorized taking and receiving stolen property. A search of his Auburn home by state police on Feb. 8 yielded the missing weapon, according to an inventory of seized items. State police also seized the stock of a 12-gauge Beretta shotgun from the 299 Wilsons Crossing Road home.
Although the charges surprised town officials, it was not the first time Flight came under a cloud of suspicion regarding missing evidence. Flight, the town's longtime police prosecutor, was allowed to retire from the department in November 2010 after an internal investigation into missing evidence was inconclusive, town officials said. The probe's focus was never disclosed, but did not involve a missing rifle, Town Administrator Bill Herman confirmed.

Serialized JavaBeans can be saved on a session backup server. If the Oracle ATG Web Commerce server originally handling a session becomes unavailable, important elements of a user's session can be recreated from these serialized beans. A property's
serialize attribute tag lets you customize how to handle that property when a repository item is serialized.
If you serialize a transient item, its properties are serialized along with it. You can exclude individual properties from serialization as follows:
<property ...>
<attribute name="serialize" value="false"/>
If you serialize a persistent item, only transient properties (those not in a table tag) are serialized unless their
serialize attribute is set as follows:
<property ...>
<attribute name="serialize" value="true"/>
If the item is persistent, its persistent properties are written to the database and can be retrieved if the session needs to be restored.
