It's a question we get often, and the answer is really simple. When do you need a keyable stretcher? Always! In this post, we'll talk about stretcher keys, what purpose they serve, and how to assemble a keyable frame.
Using a fixed frame for your canvas greatly increases the likelihood you'll have to restretch and reframe it at some point, due to the natural flexible nature of canvas. In fact, oil paintings often need major conservation work within decades of completion. Keyable stretchers safeguard your paintings and canvas photo prints from wear that occurs in all canvas over time.
What are stretcher keys?
A key is a critical stretcher frame design feature that allows you to adjust the tension of your canvas in small increments.
Canvas will absorb moisture over the years, causing it to expand. When your canvas is allowed to stretch and sag, the resultant damage to the layers of oil paint can be dramatic.
Stretcher keys are precisely manufactured to fit in the mitered tongue and groove joints of a properly constructed canvas frame. When you adjust the keys (called 'keying' your frame), your frame expands slightly to pull the canvas tight again.
Are all keyable stretchers the same?
Stretcher keys keep your canvas tight and protect your painting or photo print over time.
Absolutely not. Keys are one component of a solid foundation for your work, but you also want to make sure your stretcher frame has:
- A beveled or tapered profile, with a slope on the front face of the bar to provide extra space behind the canvas and prevent contact with the bar or cross brace.
- Adequate cross bracing to support the size of your canvas, with cross braces mortised and tenoned for strength and fit.
- Bars expertly constructed of clear grade, straight grain wood with a moisture content of 8% or less, free of knots, splits and other defects.
- Precision tongue and groove joints with rigid, square corners.
If your project is wider or taller than 8', you'll also need laminated stretcher bars and a couple of other heavy duty design features you can learn more about here.
How do I assemble a keyable stretcher frame?
It's easier than you might think! With your stretcher bars and keys, you'll receive a set of instructions to help out. You'll get step-by-step advice putting the stretcher together, with tips to help you increase the friction in loose joints and prepare your frame for transportation, by spot welding your stretcher keys.
You'll need a few tools you probably already have in your house or shop to put your keyable frame together:
- measuring tape
- carpenter's square
- staple gun
- mallet, or a regular hammer and a mallet head

If you're looking for information on how to assemble a floater frame with dovetailed keys, you'll find that tutorial here.
Can I get keys for a custom canvas?
Absolutely. We make clear ash hardwood and birch plywood keys for custom canvas frames of all shapes and sizes. Send in a sketch showing your stretcher shape and dimensions and we'll get you a quote — see this page for more details on sketching your frame.
- Keep your canvas tight and protected even on large, irregularly shaped stretcher frames like this one.
- If you don't have a stretcher yet but are planning an irregularly shaped or unusually large project, our CNC technology might be just the ticket. Most shaped frames are fixed, which doesn't allow for adjusting your canvas tension over time.
- We fabricate truly keyable oval, round and arched 2D or 3D frames with cross braces included, and optional gravity bars available for hanging.

Global research project reveals keys to successfully scaling startups
02 May 2018
- The Growth Project analysed 45 companies across Australia, Pakistan, Canada, Israel, UK and the Netherlands.
- All had achieved more than 30% year-over-year growth and had a turnover between $8 million and $200 million a year.
- Initial research findings have identified eight keys to successful growth.
A global study analysing entrepreneurial companies that have rapidly transitioned from startup to a turnover of more than $8 million a year has uncovered eight keys to successful growth.
"These are important insights because reviews of innovation in Australia have highlighted that the weakest link is management capability," says University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Business School Associate Professor Danielle Logue.
There is a lot of attention in Australia on incubators and startups, but less on how to build high-growth firms and navigating the scaling process, Associate Professor Logue says.
Associate Professor Logue leads the Australian arm of the global project, which is overseen internationally by Professor Charlene Zietsma from Penn State University in the United States.
Professor Zietsma established the study because many entrepreneurial ventures fail and even more fail to grow.
"Scaling a business is difficult. Only 1 per cent of firms make it past the $10 million a year mark," Professor Zietsma says.
"It is such an important part of the entrepreneurial process. It's fine to start businesses but unless we grow them we don't actually get the jobs and economic benefit that they promise," she says.
The Growth Project analysed 45 companies across Australia, Pakistan, Canada, Israel, UK and the Netherlands. All had achieved more than 30% year-over-year growth for at least three years and had achieved turnover between $8 million and $200 million a year (AUD).
While the project is ongoing, initial findings identified eight important features that fast growing companies have in common – factors that transcend industries, countries and cultures.
The researchers summarise the eight keys to successful growth as:
• Begin with the end in mind: have clear long-term objectives
• Nailing it and scaling it: refine the business model, then scale up (and repeat the process)
• Pivot with a purpose: when a business model isn't working, pivot to a plan B
• Let go as you grow: realise you can no longer do everything – hire, delegate and consult
• People agility: hire the right people – especially those who can be fluid in their roles
• Build scaffolding for growth: develop structures, systems & processes needed to scale up
• Cash rules: speed cash flow through the system, it is the oxygen that fuels growth
• Targeted execution: develop a metric driven culture and focus on key priorities
> For further information about the eight keys watch the video.
"CEOs and managers will be able to use the keys we have identified to ensure they are putting in place the principles needed to successfully grow their business," Associate Professor Logue says.
The Australian companies in The Growth Project were from regional areas as well as capital cities, and included innovative firms in traditional industries such as hospitality, mining, agriculture, construction, tourism and manufacturing as well as high-tech startups.
"Overall, what we observed was that these firms are great at managing innovation, this was because they had leaders and managers who were personally reflective, they understood what they were good at and what they were not," Associate Professor Logue says.
"We will continue analysing our data, comparing the Australian experience to other countries and generating further insights on how we can build management capability for innovation."

Yesterday I finally made my way to a movie theater to see Mamma Mia! I truly believe that I am the last gay man on this planet to see this movie. In fact I believe that there are unborn gay fetuses and gay life on other planets that saw this movie before I did!
I did enjoy the film and plan on making it a part of my video library; however I do agree with some of the comments I have heard other people make regarding the three possible fathers; I also felt that hearing these men sing was a little awkward, specifically Pierce Brosnon. I do understand, though, that these men are not singers, they are wonderfully entertaining actors.
The popularity of the musical and now the film is really a testiment to the music of ABBA. The popularity of their music has certainly crossed over generations. That fact was evident by the varying ages of the audience members. One negative aspect of ABBA's populatiry was that the woman sitting next to me would not stop singing or humming along with the characters on the screen! Unfortunately, I think the only way I could have avoided the sing along would have been if I waited for the film to be released on DVD; who wants to wait that long?!?!?!

SEOUL -- The agency of K-pop sensation BTS apologized for controversial clothing and imagery, saying two members, Jimin and RM, have used them inadvertently or unintentionally due to careless management.
Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi canceled an appearance of BTS last week over Jimin's T-shirt with an image that depicted an atomic bomb drop on Japan. It also showed English slogans such as "Liberation" and "Our history", referring to the termination of Japan's 1950-53 colonial rule over the Korean peninsula.
Separately, RM was criticized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization, for "mocking the past" by wearing a hat with alleged Nazi iconography during a photo shoot four years ago.
"We sincerely apologize to all those who have been hurt," Big Hit Entertainment said in a statement published on Tuesday night. "There was no intention of any kind," it said, adding the agency and its artists oppose totalitarianism and all organizations with extreme political tendencies.
BTS members are in Japan for the concert tour that would bring them to Osaka later this month, Nagoya in January and Fukuoka in February. "My heart really aches. ... Not only ARMY but also many people around the world must have been surprised and concerned over recent controversies," Jimin said during a dome concert in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Despite controversy over Jimin's T-shirt, BTS topped Oricon's weekly album chart with its Japanese single album "FAKE LOVE/Airplane pt.2" that contained the Japanese version of global hit songs "FAKE LOVE" and "Airplane pt.2" as well as two other songs.
In an article on November 9, Billboard said the canceled appearance of BTS members in a TV show in Japan underlines an "awkward" K-pop relationship between South Korea and Japan.
"Fashion taste aside, what the stories are largely failing to recognize is the ongoing, politically driven tension that has plagued Korean acts in Japan for years, with this being the latest stumble in an already awkward relationship," said the American entertainment media brand.
K-pop began its international expansion largely thanks to its success in Japan but Japanese broadcasters had a general sense to slow down on it from 2011, Billboard said, explaining how K-pop has been up and down in Japan for political reasons.
Ties between the two Asian neighbors have been in the doldrums for many years, with South Korea insisting that Japan should apologize and make amends for abuses during its colonial rule. In particular, Seoul wants Tokyo to address the issue of women forced to work in Japanese wartime military brothels.
A fresh diplomatic row erupted this month after Japan lodged a protest against a decision by South Korea's highest court to acknowledge individual rights to compensation for wartime forced labor.
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. was ordered to pay 100 million won ($87,720) to four Korean victims who were forced to work for the Japan steel company. Tens of thousands of Koreans were forced to work under harsh conditions for Japan. Japan has insisted colonial-era issues were settled in a 1965 agreement that restored diplomatic ties with the payment of $500 million.

Rebus Treasure
Social Studies, Ancient History
Grade 5- 8
Students solve a rebus puzzle in order to find a hidden treasure. This can be used as an anticipatory set designed to lead into the discussion of ancient written languages, whether from Neanderthal pictographs or Egyptian hieroglyphics. It does an effective job of focusing students on the idea that early civilizations often utilized concrete images for symbols representing sounds and/or ideas.
Before class time, make copies of one of the Rebus activity sheets or create one tailored to your classroom. Choose a rebus based on where you intend to hide the incentive. Obtain the student incentive.
Divide the class into cooperative learning teams. Provide each student with a copy of the rebus. Groups should be given a specific time limit to decipher the puzzle, usually no more than five minutes.
Since it is possible that more than one group could solve the rebus in the time allowed, plan a rational method for choosing a team for the original search attempt. A random draw of team names from a hat could be one method used to break a tie. A less arbitrary measure would be to allow the first opportunity to solve the rebus to the team that most closely follows a specified set of directions and has completed the solution.
An alternative would be to move around the classroom garnering the responses from each team within the specified time allotment. In this situation, the first team to whisper the correct answer to the puzzle would subsequently gain access to the treasure hunt. The teacher should note successive completion times of other teams should that become necessary in the next step.
The selected learning group will then have a short period of time (about one minute) to locate the prize. If the group cannot find the treasure within the minute, the second ranked team would be offered a sixty-second quest. This rotation would be followed until either the prize was found or every team was given the opportunity to look.
As a follow-up activity, encourage students to create their own symbolic alphabets, employing various geometric or pictographic designs.
Rebus activity sheets
a teacher-selected treasure that will serve as an incentive for the students (e.g., pack of gum, pieces of fruit, pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.). There should be an adequate amount to share among the members of the largest student learning team.

Yu-Wen, Chen and Xiuxing, Chen and Maxemchuk, Nicholas F. (2012) The Fair Allocation of Power to Air Conditioners on a Smart Grid. [Journal Articles]Full text not available from this repository.
Our objective is to allocate power to air conditioners fairly when demand exceeds supply or when the load in regions of the network exceeds the capacity of the links. This is an alternative to the current practice of brown outs or black outs and the proposed pricing mechanisms. We hypothesis a smart grid in which the power company can communicate with the customers, measure the temperature and power consumption of each residence, and remotely set each thermostat. We develop simple techniques to predict changes in power consumption for modest changes in the setting of a thermostat, algorithms to apply two fairness metrics used in communications networks to power allocation, and an algorithm to assign power to different parts of a network on a capacity constrained local distribution network. We also propose a practical procedure to apply these algorithms.

Organic horticulture is the best way to grow a garden when you are concerned about harmful chemicals with your garden. Using natural ways to maintain your garden produces healthier plants. Organic gardening is a lot more important if you are growing a vegetable garden. See the following article for some ideas on how to grow an attractive organic garden.
For those who have specimen plants which need warmer climate zones than all of your garden, it is simple to build a suitable space for them within your regular garden! Just create a shelter by using a south facing wall that will turn into a solar collector Big Mike Straumietis, absorbing warmth within the day and releasing it through the night, thus providing your specimen plants with all the perfect environment!
Keep considering gardening by trying new things each and every year. While well tested favorites will always be part of your garden Big Mike Straumietis, reserve a part for a new challenge and exciting to maintain interest. Remember that some testing is going to be required because one crop that can be a flop within the fall, may be an outstanding crop early in the year.
Beginning your garden with healthy soil will be your first defense against pests! Healthy plants grown in robust and enriched soil provide an advantage in fighting pest infestation. Start your backyard off with a very high-quality soil that you can enrich as time passes.
Whenever your summer blooms have bloomed and faded away, make sure to dead-head the flowers. What this means is pinching off the flower heads. This will encourage new flowers to bloom longer next season, and this will also strengthen the plant. Considering that the flower heads have seeds, you can also save the flower heads which you have pinched off for planting at another time.
An essential prerequisite to have a prosperous garden, is preparing the soil to your seeds or seedlings. Poor soil grows poor plants. A good way to obtain rich soil is to buy or make organic compost and mix it in the soil which you want to plant your garden. You can even add manure for the soil so it will be more fertile. It is advisable to stay away from using chemical fertilizers, given that they burns up your crops and also be harmful to your health.
In the event that your backyard is producing more vegetables than you may eat, you could possibly try finding recipes that demand the produce in different stages of maturity. For example, in the event you anticipate that you'll have more squash than you require, you may harvest the squash blossoms. This will make your backyard more diverse in their offerings that one could enjoy.
When gardening, it is wise to rotate your crops, particularly if you are growing a couple of crop of fruits or vegetables in your garden every year. This can help to conserve the nutrients within the soil. It also helps to prevent diseases inside the soil. Even with crop rotation, nutrients must be added into the soil after each planting season.
Not as bad as you may thought, correct? Like any other subject, the green field of organic gardening is vast and contains a great deal of information located on it. Sometimes you simply need a hint with regards to where to start along with it to be able to "jump right in." Now you have the details needed to feel confident to start your organic garden.

Chair of god prior to
The great vaticinator Isaiah cried out to God, "Oh, that You would bust the heavens and that you would go thrown and that the mountains would wince at Your beingness." This has been the torrid prayer of a sanctified leftover of believers then again out the generations who have been despairing for Heaven-sent improvement. They have cried out for the age of the Presence of God in their lives and in the christian church. No doubt, it was the cry of Luther, trendsetter of the Great Reformation, who wept ended the corruption, rejection and friendly impotency of the house of worship of his day. It positively was the cry of John Wesley, the structure skipper of the great Methodist betterment of the 1770's, who was sickened by the same church scene. It had to have been the cry of Charles Finney as he surveyed the divisions and combat-ready among the churches in New York anterior to the remarkable revivals location. It absolutely was the cry of blind and older Peggy Smith and her sophistical female sibling ( the two marvellous intercessors for healing in Scotland) as they lamented ended the churches which were absent of the vigour of God and vacated by the spring chicken. It must have been the cry of childlike Evan Roberts, the mortal of the 1905 Welsh Revival, as he hungered for a powerful affliction of God that would on the loose his commonwealth from the thralldom of theological virtue and from sin.
"Oh, that you would snap the Heavens and go down" has ever been the cry of the true Church, that breathing organism...the Body of Christ. That cry is upward in crescendo in the world once again.

At first partial view Master Georgie by Beryl Bainbridge suggests it power be reasonably a insubstantial book, an undemanding read, a fundamental quantity chunk set in the mid-nineteenth period. This would be mistaken. This is no locked yarn of land put up manners, of marriages imagined by confined, embroidering youthful women. Beryl Bainbridge's Master Georgie is thing but a yarn of specified treacly breeding.
Master Georgie is a surgeon and photographer, and the volume is strike in six plates - pictorial representation plates, not chapters. Death figures through. From create to finishing fatality rate crashes into the lives of the book's characters. We inaugurate with Mr Moody, exsanguine in a edifice bed, his grownup of account beforehand in upset.

And even consequently individuals brainwave their own of their own distance of totalling slander and lesion to the torture.

My travels cross-town the bucolic discussing gross sales process and preciseness marketing for extraordinary finance thieve me to all kinds of dealerships. At the figure of the dealerships, employee after employee waits by the "point" or the frame for the next "UP" to get. A little cipher of sales clan be present to whom this does not utilize (like a salesman in South Florida that I met who does 30 units a time period on his own!), but all too recurrently this is the way it is. There is a greater way! You can reach your gross sales - the Mystery of Productivity follows.

They house-trained me to own and change the business organization one-sidedly.

Impress the proper ad
When placing your ad in black and white publications you can make a overmuch advanced outcome if you have a symptomless designed ad. Many of the publications out location will proposition you divest typesetting which is excellent as it will save you from paying for few print ads but the one woe that goes next to this is that your ad will facial expression precise alike to umteen of the else ads that the publication has impress for their opposite trade. All typesetters have their own variety of fashioning ads and the typesetting department for that magazine will have the aforementioned panache. I have used this unrestricted typesetting pay from publications in the ultimo and accepted responses to my ads but have besides had my ads through with by a polar setter/ad designer, dispatched those ads in to a publication and accepted a by a long chalk finer issue because my ad looked contrastive from the residuum.
Typesetting is not too overpriced mega finished those who submit typesetting service by correspondence. I have compared the prices betwixt several asymptomatic far-famed message proclaim dealers who bestow this pay and the prices from provincial typesetters and within is a really, truly big deviation in asking price. Like mentioned earlier, seems same typesetters all have their own finesse and it has gotten to a spear beside me now that when I see ads in magazines I can by and large report who impress the proper ad I'm superficial at. Usually the rates for ads to be print are a small indefinite quantity bucks an in. A flooded page 8X10" ad will amount you anywhere from $20 to $30. Everyones prices are different but that is the standard prices. Your ad is massively important, you don't righteous impoverishment to run a bald ad that doesn't get any attention, you requirement your ad to endure out from the gang and grab all the attending it can get.

I began studying astrology in 1973 while living in India. In 1984, after returning to Canada, I learned of the discovery of a new asteroid, Chiron, and by including Chiron in the birth chart, was able to correlate transits of this new asteroid with a series of significant healing experiences that had occurred during my many years of spiritual pilgrimage.
Although I began practicing astrology professionally in 1988, I still felt unable to answer some core questions: "Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? How can I be free from old patterns that keep repeating?"
In 1994, when I met my teacher, Jeffrey Wolf Green, I learned the methods of answering these key questions using Evolutionary Astrology.
What is Evolutionary Astrology?
The complexity of human life is reflected in the complexity of a birth chart.
Each archetype is present in three different ways: the house, the sign, and its planetary ruler, and the planets themselves are connected via aspects.
The magic is to bring it alive to reflect the reality of each person in a way that they can recognize it for themselves.
This process reflects the totality of my own experience as well as whatever abilities I may have as an evolutionary astrologer and teacher.
My wish is to make a difference in the evolutionary journeys of those people I contact, either as clients or students.
Astrology can help free us from our conditioning, help us become aware of what has been unconscious, and help us to live according to the reality of our soul.
Emotional healing and freedom from conditioning are the very heart of our spiritual journeys.
When we live in harmony with what is natural, we enter into relationship with the creator, and meaning and beauty is returned to our lives

The RSS was so keen to get Pranab Mukherjee to its headquarters in Nagpur that it sacrificed time honoured Sangh protocol in deference to the visiting former president.
The Sangh way at all major functions is for the sarsangchalak to speak at the end. This way, the RSS chief gets to have the last word. Sangh bosses believe this is important because it gives the chief an opportunity to correct misgivings that may arise from other speeches during the course of an event.
However, this time, they had to do away with this tradition because Rashtrapati Bhavan protocol took over. The convention for presidents, past and present, is that they are always the last speakers. It's more than extending an honour to the country's first citizen. It also a way of ensuring that there are no maverick speeches that could embarrass the VIP. Apparently, Mukherjee's office explained Rashtrapati Bhavan do's and don'ts to Sangh interlocutors who were co-ordinating the visit. The RSS readily agreed, although it meant breaking with their own conventions. And so, Mukherjee had the last word in Nagpur, not Mohan Bhagwat.
Gadkari plays a major role
Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari is believed to have had a major hand in getting Pranab Mukherjee to Nagpur. According to circles close to the RSS, Gadkari established a good equation with Mukherjee during his stint in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
In fact, it is said that Gadkari was the one who facilitated the first luncheon meet between Mukherjee and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The RSS has been keen for a long time that Mukherjee visit its Nagpur headquarters. It first extended the invitation during Mukherjee's last year as President. The proposal was part of a vigorous ongoing outreach effort by the Sangh to mainstream itself and gain wider acceptability. Getting Mukherjee would be a coup of sorts, it was felt. Not only is he a devout Hindu, well-versed in the scriptures, he is also held in great esteem by all sections as an elder statesman and has a strong Congress pedigree.
According to those familiar with the discussions, after Mukherjee initially declined the invitation, the RSS chief entrusted the task of persuading him to visit Nagpur to Gadkari. Bhagwat is known to have a close rapport with Gadkari. The connection gives the transport minister a special status in the Modi government. It may be remembered that Modi permitted Gadkari to join his recent roadshow along the Delhi-Meerut expressway. Modi roadshows are usually solo affairs to showcase the prime minister.
It took some persuasion but Gadkari managed to convince Mukherjee to come to Nagpur. The former president is an astute politician so he must have known the stir he would create with his visit to the RSS headquarters. He went ahead because as he stressed in his address in Nagpur, he believes in dialogue and discussion with all shades of opinion and ideologies.
Rahul carries on Sonia tradition
Like mother, like son. Remember how close Sonia Gandhi was to Lalu Yadav? She used to enjoy his company and often had the RJD chief and family over to 10 Janpath for dinner during the UPA years.
It seems Rahul is carrying on the tradition with the next generation. He and Lalu's son and political heir Tejaswai have established a great friendship. Tejaswi visits Rahul at his Tughlaq Road residence often. And Rahul has taken him out to dinner on at least two occasions.
Three young leaders are emerging as the face of the united opposition in UP and Bihar, SP's Akhilesh Yadav, RLD's Jayant Chaudhry and RJD's Tejaswi Yadav.
Apparently, Rahul makes it a point to keep in touch with all three. The rapport with Akhilesh grew from the time the Congress and SP contested as allies in the 2017 assembly polls.
Jayant and Rahul are believed to have common friends and often meet at social gatherings. But it seems he gets on best with Tejaswi. They have a special relationship. In fact, after their most recent meeting at Rahul's residence, Tejaswi emerged in such good humour that he recited a poem by famous English poet William Wordsworth.
Modi talks of non-alignment
Diplomatic watchers have noted Narendra Modi's Nehru moment during his much-lauded speech at the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore. Indicating a return to India's traditional foreign policy positioning as crafted by Jawaharlal Nehru, Modi for the first time talked of non-alignment.
It was not articulated as the non-alignment of Nehru because those were different times. But Modi stressed that India would not align itself with any great power but chart an independent course by engaging with all.
Diplomatic watchers were taken aback by the tone and tenor of Modi's speech because so far his foreign policy has been seen as one with a clear pro-US tilt. He is obviously doing a course correction now with his rediscovery of Russia as an old friend and the effort to put the relationship with China back on an even keel.
It is interesting that this return to a non-aligned position in foreign policy has come with a change of guard in the ministry of external affairs. The new foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale, say diplomatic watchers, is cast in the old mould, unlike his predecessor Jaishanker who was seen as distinctly pro-US.
The mercurial nature of the Trump Administration has made foreign policy mandarins here realise that the US may not be the dependable ally India needs. Consequently, New Delhi should not position itself as a frontline state for the US in Asia and get into confrontation with China.
Gokhale is a China expert and it is believed that he has brought in a welcome sense of realism in India's China policy by pushing for informal one-to-one engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
He is also believed to have emphasized the importance of rebuilding bridges with Russia. This sent Modi for an informal summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi.
Interestingly, the Doval-Gokhale duo has evolved a new style of international outreach for Modi, which is to engage with world leaders in informal one-to-one meetings rather than the old style summit meets.

In the last couple of years, GeoDesign has received more requests for peer reviews than ever before. Often these requests come in one or more of these contexts: "We would just like to double-check the solutions being presented" or "This is an unusual project". A peer review process can help all parties better understand, address and ultimately reduce project risk. Read more
Purchasers of real estate are frequently looking at a property with a specific plan in mind. All too frequently, due diligence is only considered for environmental liabilities (e.g., the evaluation of known or potential contamination from prior industrial uses, underground tanks, spills etc.). Too often such geo-contingencies are not discovered until after the purchase and owners/developers are impacted "surprises" identified after the deal is done. An investment in GeoDiligence can pay dividends. Read more
The railroad embankment for the Hudson Line tracks just north of Peekskill, New York was identified by Metro North as a location requiring slope stability improvement.

Construction on the $57 million, 103,000 square-foot Connecticut River Academy that serves as a science and environmental magnet high school in East Hartford, Connecticut. GeoDesign served as the project's geotechnical engineer for design and construction of the foundations for the four-story academic building and precast concrete parking garage on Goodwin College's campus. GeoDesign's recommendations resulted in more than $1 million in construction cost savings for the project over more conventional solutions (e.g., deep piles). Read more
The natural engineering tendency when posed with a loading problem is to find a way to support it. We have learned, however, an equally good question to ask is – can the load be reduced?

GeoDesign, Inc. teamed up with Phelps Engineering, Inc. to develop a solution to the on-going movement and unusually high required maintenance. Read More
Nature's power was unleashed on the northeast beginning on Sunday, August 28th, the day Tropical Storm Irene tracked north from New York City through the northeast states. GeoDesign was contacted by Metro-North Railroad (MNR) late that day to meet MNR engineers at 0700 hours the next morning to respond to a landslide area on the Hudson Line where a sixty-foot high earth slope failed during the storm, leaving a very steep scarp near the face of a multi-story building.

In any new economy, new analytical tools provide more options for cost-effective excavation and development of sites with rough terrain. Challenging sites often include steep bedrock cuts or are previously quarried sites with remaining bedrock that is steeper than nature had intended. Gaining access to and developing these sites requires a thorough understanding of the regional geology and local subsurface conditions. To address these concerns, GeoDesign, Inc. uses a powerful suite of software by RocScience™ to evaluate the geophysical data. Read More
At first blush, one might think that the words blast and densify are almost opposites, since blasting is usually used to break up or loosen materials and densification refers to making things more compact. However, blasting was exactly what GeoDesign, Inc. used to successfully prepare a site prone to liquefaction for the new Marine Corps Training Center at the Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Read More
The 2000 and newer versions of the International Building Code (IBC), now adopted in most northeast US states, have more rigorous criteria for soil seismic site classification. While more stringent, the IBC also encourages the use of modern subsurface exploration techniques for seismic site classification. These techniques can reduce construction costs compared with using older, conventional test boring methods. Recently, GeoDesign successfully utilized these modern techniques on three projects that provide valuable examples. Read More
When administrators at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York realized the need for a new emergency room facility, they had to face what is now becoming more commonplace – a suburban facility with limited land upon which to build. Many private organizations and institutions once fled the landlocked cities to suburbia with the promise of large expanses of available raw real estate. But now suburban land owners are facing the same dilemma again – site size restraints. Read More
Today, more creative approaches are being used to develop land. Many of the prime or easy sites have already been built upon. Some of the attractive locations available for new development or expansions are on hillsides. Traditionally this meant extensive excavation and backfilling of a portion of the hill and construction of a conventional retaining wall to hold back the remaining portion of the sharply sloping earth. Read More
Low levels of contaminants are commonly encountered when developing urban and industrial sites. Soil can accumulate contaminants such as lead, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and pesticide residues. Spills of hazardous materials increase the contaminant load. During redevelopment, the presence of contaminated soil can cause significant technical and regulatory heartache, time and money. Read More
Constructibility is the integration of design with construction. The designer should ask "How is my design going to be affected by the sequence and method of construction? How will it be bid and built? What problems and stresses may be experienced during intermediate stages?" Constructibility problems can create delays and claims which may adversely affect the entire team of owner, designer, and contractor. Read More

Kim showed off her gift with a brisk shopping trip yesterday and we have to say - this Christmas present will certainly get her noticed.
Her rapper fiancée plumped for a one of a kind hand painted George Condo Hermes bag. Contemporary artist Condo has painted the piece directly onto the tan leather bag. His image shows two nude figures with what appears to be a monster in the background.
Big shot Kanye knows the New York-based artist from asking him to create a series of pictures for fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - which features a naked Kanye being straddled by a female with no arms.

Anyway, my kitchen projects are finally getting started. Thanks to a very helpful reader, a couple days ago I purchased this little beauty for over my sink:
The best part is that it was only $39.95 from Destination Lighting. They have free shipping if you spend $50, so to get the free shipping I bought a couple CFL's (something that will always come in handy to have around the house). I thought it was a great deal, AND I just checked the tracking number and it should be here today! I hope I am still this happy about my purchase when I see it.

This is for every writer who gets up early in the morning to write stories before going to work, for the writer who takes a boring job that pays barely enough to cover the rent ─ say night attendant in a parking garage next to a cement plant ─ in order to free up the mind, for those of you who stay up until 2 in the morning, sneak in an hour when the kids take a nap, or pull out the laptop while parked in a deserted supermarket lot at 3 in the morning because the baby finally falls asleep after driving him around the city for two hours (ask recent Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Harding about this). For the student who writes fiction in math class, the cubicle dweller who hides the computer screen when your supervisor rolls around, for the executive who closes her office door to write fiction and the emergency room doctor or nurse who's too wired coming off the pm shift to do anything but write stories – this is for you.
Writing fiction is hard work, it's always been hard work. You can work long and hard, months or years, and write an exciting, lasting novel or collection of stories, and you can work long and hard and produce an ordinary, boring piece of fiction. Either way it's hard, so if you're going to watch your life pass while trying to get published, don't you think you should learn the craft of it and make the novel or short story collection you're working on worth it?
Stories that last are those readers remember years later. So you can't even remember the details of this or that book? So what. Who cares about all the details of plot? Who cares about recalling a character's name? And who cares if anybody remembers your story? No one. No one cares because readers care only for their stories – how they recognize in your work the truths of their selves. Their losses, their aspirations, their fears. All from a safe place.
So if you're going to write fiction, write fiction that lasts – tell readers their stories.
Apply the seat to the chair.

I think I would have liked the artist Ellis Rowan. Born in 1847, she failed to be constrained by the nineteenth century conventions placed upon young gentlewomen of her time.
Like me she had a bad attack of the wanderlust, using the cold winters at the home in Victoria's Mount Macedon, as an (entirely plausible) excuse for gallivanting throughout Australia and New Guinea, and even as far as the United States. Many of the places she visited were remote, and she was often the only, or one of a very few, white women in the area. And wherever she travelled she painted.
Perhaps it is Charlotte Mason's influence upon my current life, but I find myself nodding with approval at stories depicting her scrambling up rocks by clinging to vines as she searched for flowers on Murray Island, North Queensland, leaving her party behind in her wake. She held huge tarantulas in her hand before painting them. Ugh. She had a total fascination with natural objects, and constantly searched for more and more colourful and unusual objects to paint.
In her book A Flower Hunter in Queensland and New Zealand, she recounts the occasion when, while attempting to cross the Bloomfield River, south of Cooktown, she became trapped on a log by a rapidly rising tide. I dare say the crocodile circling her did not bring her much joy. She was finally rescued by Aborigines.
Oh yes, I would have liked Ellis Rowan very much indeed.
The National Library of Australia is home to more than 900 of Ellis Rowan's paintings, and in their new book, Fairy World, they have taken 11 of these and turned them into delightful fairy havens that introduce her floral depictions to a new generation of young Australians.
The YouTube video depicts the book in all its glory. On one side of the page is a description in rhyme about the plant on the other side. These include the Bumpy Satin Ash, the Pitcher Plant, the Red Flowering Gum and Sturt's Desert Pea. Rowan's original paintings, have been altered to include a flap that can be raised to reveal a pretty fairy or cheeky elf hiding in the foliage. Cute. 'Did you know' fact boxes are also included about each of the plants.
I would love to do an artist study about Ellis Rowan for school. I may do just that, in fact, but until that time comes, I think this book is a super way to introduce my 8 year old fairy lover to the delights of this exquisite artist. Not that I think that the fairies add, mind you. Publishers nowadays fail to appreciate that a child could actually be interested in nature, flowers and art for their own sake. They seem to believe that an appreciation for our flora will never be acquired by mere observation, but rather has to be helped along by fairies and other methods designed by adults to awaken the child's otherwise deadened imagination. Yeah.
A child raised on a diet of living books, poetry, art and nature will enjoy this lovely book regardless of whether there are fairies hiding in the pictures or not. For the child that has not, the poetry and nature facts will probably fail to impress even with the distraction of the wee folk.
For me Ellis Rowan's pictures are enough. I will be purchasing this book for Jemimah as soon as the budget allows. I will also look for a copy of A Flower Hunter for me to read. In the mean time, I'll be getting my fix here in the Ellis Rowan pages of the National Library of Australia. Over 400 of her paintings have been digitised, and can be viewed on the Library's Pictures Catalogue by entering the search term 'Ellis Rowan'.
I can't believe I've not heard of her before. Have you?

Independent Verification and Validation
Our adaptable, service-based IV&V approach provides corporate organizations with the independent analysis necessary to both pinpoint and avoid high-risk areas during the planning, design, execution, and management phases of projects. By bringing in an unbiased team, experienced in industry standards and best practices, we come to understand the complexity of output processes, allowing us to detect gaps and recommend adjustments that will reduce the errors and risks associated with roll out.
IV&V Process:
- IV&V Management Plan
- Create Management Plan

Project Management IV&V
We work with organizations to assess if they are following their developed or generally accepted process in the delivery of projects. When an organization engages with us for Project Management IV&V, our aim is to not only diagnose problems before they occur, but to identify specific refinements that will ensure tangible improvements to every project. We also focus on helping clients become more forward-looking, thinking end-to-end, so that their process decisions encompass the entire lifecycle of projects moving forward.
Product and Process Management IV&V
Our Independent verification and validation (IV&V) involves V&V done by our industry experts as a third party organization not involved in the development of the product or process. Thus, the products and processes gets examined by an outside neutral party. The main check performed is whether user requirements are met along side ensuring that the product is structurally sound and built to the required specifications, and that processes are stream lined and efficient before automation.
V&V helps to find out discrepancies in the quality and specifications helping product developers to build product, which meet all the user requirements. IV&V also ensures that developers are adhering to the regulations and budgets.
V&V helps identify redundancies and gaps in your business processes enabling your company to do more, or reduce overhead. IV&V in processes enables your company to be competitive through efficiencies.
For software products, the IV&V organization may perform reviews of the source code, examine the associated product documentation and analyze associated algorithms for static verification. It also performs dynamic verification by different testing methods such as integration testing to ensure that all software units (modules) are meshed as one, tested and properly work together. Functional testing is done to ensure that functionality meets user requirements. In addition, system testing is carried out over the entire software and hardware system to make sure that it is working as per the user requirements and acceptance.

The spacing effect shows that studying information at distributed intervals leads to better long-term memory than massing study episodes together over the same cumulative amount of time. Prior research has not made explicit predictions about neural activity in the EEG domain that should occur at different study repetition lags under different spacing effect theories. One main purpose of this thesis is to make these predictions in terms of the neural activity expected under different spacing effect hypotheses, whereas another is to test these predictions. Knowledge about neural patterns underlying the spacing effect can shed light on why this effect occurs, which would support or challenge the hypotheses presented here as well as possibly provide a physiological grounding when considering the spacing effect in educational settings. We used event-related potentials and time–frequency methods to analyze spaced and massed study repetitions, as well as measures of neural similarity across presentations to inform these predictions. To summarize our findings, when studying information for a second time at a spaced interval, the retrieval of the initial study episode from long-term memory and the additional semantic processing received benefits performance on a subsequent test compared to studying massed repetitions.

Most nights students will have math homework to reinforce what was presented in class that day. Students should try their best to complete their homework on their own. They can look back at the problem set and their notes. There are math resources under the link's tab.
