Branding is the key to any company, it communicates the core values first hand and that is the entire representation of the company. We all know it is not the easiest thing to convince your organization that branding will uplift the companies presence in the market, for whatever is coming but branding remains the most integral part of any business whether existing or start up.
A simple well-done logo is great for a companies value, in that it increases expectation for your brand which means it becomes top of mind. Branding educates clients and employees or prospective employees about the vision that the company stands for. There is a notion from most companies and individuals that branding doesn't bring in money or it is not needed for what the company is trying to do or accomplish. However, branding is the face of the company and sometimes an ugly face is not inviting until you get to talk to and understand what the other person stands for (Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder). That is essentially how I view BRANDING, it is not the logo or the colors that are associated with the company, Yes, those play an important role, however, it is all about the consistency that the brand chooses to maintain the propriety of a brand. How your organization chooses to tell stories through branding.
Always remember that products have a lifecycle and that lifecycle can come to an end very rapidly. Brands, on the other hand, have no life cycle just proper maintenance from the people involved in keeping it relevant. This is the most effective way to build credibility around your company. Prospective clients will gain trust for your business only if you allow yourself to be branded, and properly so.
Next time you think about the people who will be working for you to expand your vision, think of what branding can also do to influence them in trusting that your organization is the one to stay trusted in and do the best in. Most small businesses stay small simply because they lack the understanding that they are not a 2nd hand book shop. What legacy are you trying to build? Do you see your company lasting as long as 10years with the same perspective when it comes to branding?
These are the three most important reasons why you need branding.
One thing that most successful entrepreneurs and business owners understand is that the branding comes first in whatever initiative that they are planning to achieve or launch. Without the image and visual language of the product or company, the business is not going to create what we call the "Brand Positioning" which simply means the place in the consumer's mind that you want to own as a company or brand. Remember that an asset is also the return on investment that customers are expecting. Building your company around branding and storytelling is essential to creating the value that your company deserves.
When you are building your business we both know that you are creating a need and that need has to be fulfilled by your organization. In doing so you are creating expectations for the end user. Now branding might seem like it's misleading, however, the message you portray is definitely going to reach the people who are interested in the story you are telling. Branding expands this holistic vision across much simpler only when done right. A brand that is executed with details will encompass the following aspects; logos, content, blogging strategy, visual assets, color and font usage. There are more components to this, however, these are the basics you will need to get your brand going consistently. Knowing that you haven't left out any important factors that include growing your business.
Branding is the term used in marketing to define your logo, colors, symbol or design and it helps identify what you sell, also what you are about and what you want to achieve within your brand as a whole. It is more than a logo it is your face to the public and prospective clients, investors, and employees.
Your brand is in essence who you are as a person, your personality, what values are going to drive your organization and last but not least the goals you seek to achieve. By truly understanding this you set yourself aside from the competition and you allow customers to come to you trusting what you are planning to do. Customers believe in one thing and that is the purpose of your business. Does it speak to them? does it evoke a certain emotion in them? Branding can assure you of some certain level of knowledge about your organization from the people you are trying to reach.
What most small businesses don't understand is that branding helps you establish your business, even though your business is climbing the success leader people already know that this is not a small business. This helps you align with the right kind of partnerships and clients/customers. Now the most important thing is how you deliver what you do in your organization. Branding can help you explain this with such ease and enlightenment.

- Your Price
- $225.00
- Item #:
Proudly Made in USA, The Utopia Backrest is the Original High Quality In Seat Style Backrest designed for the 2018 Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour, including the heated seat versions. Bolts to bottom of seat and comes up through the existing cut-out in the seat.
Utopia is the Driver backrest that becomes a part of your seat. No bars in the way of drivers hips and legs or passengers legs. Folds forward to ease passenger getting On or Off and adds to safety by getting out of the way in sudden stops. Includes up and down height adjustment, as well as driver seating position, back and forth, to help driver sit upright to avoid slouching--a big factor in driver fatigue.
works very well; I'm comfy riding, and it's great that it's adjustable, and has a map pocket. BUT the instructions are poorly written - no definition for several terms such as "nub, well", etc. The pictures are very dark and not too much help. And I had to see a You Tube video about seat removal. Took me two hours to figure it out and get it installed. SO, only four stars.
I installed my 2018 backrest last week. The installation is so much simpler with the 2018. (no more dreaded seat cutting) I had one on my 2012 and I knew this would be my first accessory. My back thanked me as soon as I put it on. The Honda backrest just looks scrawny compared to the Utopia. The price is better too.
And we can't wait to show you how it's done!

Communities in north Northumberland have lost one of their guiding lights, with the death of Christine Jackson.
The award-winning businesswoman, innovator and organiser died on November 7, at the age of 67.
Born in Berwick, she moved to Howick at the age of nine when her father became head gardener at Howick Hall.
While at Howick she met and married Raymond Sleightholm and gave birth to Simon. A few years later, she moved to Alnwick and, with her sister Maureen Ternent, took on the running of The Little Fruit Shop in Fenkle Street.
That was the start of her retail career which spanned the next 30 years.
Christine had always loved flowers, and she expanded the shop into the premises next door, calling it With Flowers. She went to North Tyneside College for three years to become a fully qualified florist.
She joined Alnwick Chamber of Trade which, in the early 1980s, still had an overall responsibility for Alnwick Fair.
She became Fair secretary and, in that role, she met David Jackson, also a retailer in the town, who became vice chairman and subsequently chairman. Christine followed David into the chair and became the Fair's first woman chairman.
Christine and David married and moved to Howick.
Always an innovator as well as a great organiser, Christine instigated and attended a meeting between David, Melvyn Hornsby and Alan Lawson that resulted in the creation of the Alnwick Christmas Lights Committee.
When The Little Fruit Shop... With Flowers closed, Christine started the next stage of her retail career as manager of Tip Top and then Superdrug at Berwick. From there she became manager of Superdrug at Alnwick, and won the area title of Best Store in the Superdrug Premier Crew competition, initially with Berwick in 1991 and then with Alnwick in 1994, the only manager to achieve it with two stores.
She finished her Superdrug career as manager of its flagship store at the Metrocentre.
Having seen an opportunity in Alnwick, she persuaded her long-time friend and colleague Linda Handyside to leave Superdrug with her and set up a florist shop in Bondgate Within which they called Simply Flowers.
Christine and David took over the Old Rectory at Howick 12 years ago and turned it into a bed and breakfast. She worked tirelessly to upgrade it to 5-Star Gold Award, and was very proud to be classed as one of the top 4.6 per cent of B&Bs in the country.
Simply Flowers was sold 10 years ago but Christine continued to put her floristry skills to use by becoming the flower lady for Howick Church.
She was involved in the formation of the Howick Village Hall Committee. One of the uses she saw for the hall was for film shows, so she set about raising funds for a film projector. When that was achieved, thanks mainly to the fund-raising activities of Avril Meakin, Christine got John Roper and Julia Lavender involved in setting up two film clubs. In October, they held the first Howick International Film Festival.
She also loved singing, so it was natural that she should start a choir in the village hall in 2012, with David as the conductor, to put on a Christmas carol concert. It went so well that the Howick Coastal Choir was born, and has continued to perform ever since.
Christine sang with the altos until illness forced her to give up, but she organised the front of house and refreshments for all the concerts.
She will be remembered for her creative and innovative skills, her kindness to people and her loving nature.

It's my understanding (but I don't know this for sure) that most kids go through a phase where they call their parents by their first names, rather than calling them "mom" and "dad." It's probably some developmental thing (at least it sounds like it could/should be) or maybe kids just think it's funny. And really, it makes sense.
We don't call our siblings "brother" or "sister" (unless you're a Berenstain Bear). We do usually say "Aunt So-and-So" or "Uncle Such-and-Such," but even then we use their name.
So, it should have been no surprise when our daughter, Ava, started calling us by our first names. What did come as a surprise was my reaction.
I was really upset by this. And believe me, I realize how ridiculous that sounds. The more I asked her to call me "mama," the more she protested and kept right on calling me Amy. She really did think it was funny. It took me awhile—though it probably shouldn't have—to figure out why this bothered me so.
I know I'm Ava's mom, but because we are different colors, I want to make sure other people know I'm her mom too. Again, ridiculous; who cares, right? For some reason, I did.
Once again, I think I have a heightened awareness or hyper-sensitivity to this because our children our adopted. I am so happy, proud, excited, filled with love, and on and on, that I want to make sure everyone knows that Ava is my beautiful, amazing, wonderful daughter (unless she's having a tantrum or serious "sass-itude" as we call it, then she's my husband's daughter…). In all seriousness, I just want to make sure people know that she's mine and I'm hers. Even though rationally, I know it doesn't matter at all what people think. I wondered if I would feel this way if we shared the same DNA, so I asked some friends how it makes them feel.
One mommy friend of mine is Italian with gorgeous olive skin and dark brown eyes. Her children are sandy-blonds with light eyes. When they were younger, they had extremely blond hair and my friend said it didn't matter what her boys called her, she felt like people thought she was the nanny. I can relate.
A daddy friend of mine, who is black and married to a white woman, said this about his blond-haired, blue-eyed daughter calling him by his first name: I just assume people think I'm gay, and I'm one of her two dads. Ha! That never crossed my mind!
I guess what it boils down to is my own personal issue. Who knows what someone may or may not be thinking about our situation when they hear Ava call me by my name instead of calling me "mama."
It's time to let it go. That is, until Kamari starts calling me "Amy."

The cottage garden is one of the most popular of all styles of garden. The current versions are particularly suited to plots well modest, and depend on the selection of plants and the careful selection of appropriate and authentic materials of his curiously old appearance.
Originally, the gardens crisp were mostly functional and practical, with fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and bushes crammed into a very small area. Cottage gardening tends to be labor, having a good management rather than modern chemical sprays, the same garden can also be seen unattractive lugubrious and gave birth in the winter, since a large proportion of the plants are annuals or herbaceous.
However, when in flower, the cottage garden can be very pleasant to the eye, and a perfect remedy for the environment friendly man and style has devotees in the country and urban areas around the world.
The principles of the Garden Cottage style
The seeds of the modern cottage garden movement were sown at the end of the 19th century English nostalgia. Influential writer's garden of the time praised the virtues of the gardens without pretensions that were cultivated by the cottage owners, as a reaction to the artificiality of the large country gardens house. They wanted to return to what he considers that the small natives of gardening.
The garden of the cabin was very abundant and full of resistant flowers and bulbs, shrubs, fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. While (some trimmed into shapes) are important, they were not shrubs.
The plantation was lush soil is kept in good condition by the quantities of manure. A wide variety of plants, often scented, were cultivated, as ancient waving about sprouts, Madonna lilies Roses next to marigolds or hollyhocks in flames (rose) and sunflower that frame the door. However, was paid little attention to the harmonization of the color or geometry.
Lawns are rare, since it was thought that any free terrain best used it for more plant growth. The garden is typically divided by paths tread edge of stones, tiles, shells, or flower beds as thoughts.
Recreating the style today
While it is possible to recreate a traditional garden with success, characteristic plants do not usually provide much interest in the autumn and winter, and maintenance requirements are high. However, many of the cottage garden principles are valuable ideas for modern gardens, and it can be taken or modified to adapt to each site, while certain typical features and plants are often used today to create a rural and relaxing effect in a scheme.
The design of the gardens crisp can be surprisingly formal beds arranged symmetrically to produce flowers and straight roads edged with hedges of lavender or box. However, it is the careless abundance of planting, falling on roads and hedges and softens the hard edges, giving your gardens crisp characteristic aspect of informality. This is the controlled informality factor that gives the true spirit of the style of the cottage garden.
The correct selection of the plants is the key to success with a cottage garden. The beds should be planted with good examples of ancient flowers (perennial particularly resistant), and some shrubs to give it a structure. A wide variety of herbs, fruits and vegetables should be grown both between (to produce what is known as "integrated" gardening) or next to the flowers. Aromatic plants are a good choice, especially in particularly those that attract bees. Favorites of one or two can be used repeatedly as "key" plants to produce a consistent effect.
Roads made with bricks, stones or gravel are practical, as well as in the style of setting, while a Lavender outdoor edge offers fragrant flowers for drying, as well as attractive evergreen foliage. A rustic Archway, wood is an excellent feature to support fragrant climbing plants like Honeysuckle or roses, and the edges of lupines, peonies, and pink and wall flowers recreate the feeling of wealth without limits.

But these ads are aimed at women, many of whom aren't going to argue with that. The faux-medical campaign, from Hanft Raboy and Partners, is launching in People magazine and sends readers to Bachelorism.org, which explains "the silent epidemic" in further detail (and also has the Match.com registration section front and center). Another ad in the series has the headline, "How to Recognize Bachelorism," and advises women to look out for men whose dogs have a woman's name, who have iron burns on their shirts, and who eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner. The tagline is, "You are the cure." Which would seem to suggest that women who join Match.com's crusade should get ready to do a whole lot of ironing and cooking.—Posted by Tim Nudd Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kFGFEe copy Adweek Adweek

Paris Hilton's lingerie lawsuit is finally over.
Hilton has dropped a longstanding lawsuit against Le Bonitas, TMZ reports, after deciding the 2011 case was simply "water under the bridge." Le Bonitas, an Italian lingerie company, had initially sued Hilton for failing to approve designs for their licensing deal, costing them approximately $200,000. Hilton then countersued, saying the company still owed her $1.6 million in royalty fees.
According to the New York Post, Hilton was scheduled to appear in court this month to defend herself. But her lawyer and Le Bonitas came to an amicable agreement and have abandoned the cases; in fact, they've even established a new deal for Paris Hilton-branded lingerie and swimwear.
Which sounds all well and good, except for one small detail: Someone might want to tell Le Bonitas that the name "Paris Hilton" doesn't exactly carry the same cache it used to. Paris' star has faded since the "Simple Life" years... and it doesn't help that in the meantime, she's managed to offend seemingly everyone (Saudi Arabia, the gay community, Lindsay Lohan, etc).
Hey, at least she still has a lingerie line. Read more at NYPost.com.
Paris is following in some classy footsteps...

Celebrating the Ministry of Justice intermediary scheme
Return to What is an Intermediary?
Joyce Plotnikoff DBE
Celebrating intermediaries in the justice system – and Intermediaries for Justice
Intermediaries – communication specialists – have brought about huge changes in the criminal justice system's response to children and vulnerable adults and increased access to justice for these groups. On a case by case basis, since 2004 intermediaries on the Ministry of Justice register have helped improve the quality of evidence of thousands of children and vulnerable adults. Even more remarkably, their influence has influenced the approach of the judiciary and advocates to the vulnerable even where no intermediary is involved. This has been nothing short of a revolution.
Intermediaries come from a wide range of professional backgrounds but they have an outsider's common-sense perspective, bringing lateral thinking to a criminal justice system notoriously set in its ways. Much of the intermediary's work is done behind the scenes. Even justice system practitioners are likely to have little idea about the full spectrum of intermediary activities, or the creative ways they go about the task of supporting communication.
In a polite and persuasive way, intermediaries are pushing the traditional boundaries of court procedures. Two-thirds of judges surveyed in 2015 said that working with an intermediary had changed their practice. Principles arising from intermediary recommendations – setting 'ground rules' for cross-examination, reviewing questions in advance, not requiring vulnerable witnesses to watch their evidence at the same time as the jury and introducing them to the judge and to advocates – have become standard practice.
The former Lord Chief Justice, Baron Judge says that intermediaries have 'introduced fresh insights' and 'improved the administration of justice… without a diminution in the entitlement of the defendant to a fair trial' and that we have not yet 'arrived at our final destination' on their use. While the Ministry of Justice scheme derives from legislation and is restricted to vulnerable witnesses, judges have extended the role's scope to appoint intermediaries for vulnerable defendants, in the family courts and in tribunals (these intermediaries, whether or not on the Ministry of Justice register, are treated as 'non-registered' when taking these appointments).
This growth in unregulated work is problematic, ad hoc and unfair to those with unmet communication needs who may interact with any aspect of the justice process. There is a pressing need for intermediary services across the board to be put on a sound and equitable footing in the interests of access to justice and human rights. Estimates about levels of unmet communication need indicate that a very significant increase in intermediary numbers is required. They must also be managed and supported more effectively: it is a demanding, isolated job and turnover is too high. Their work is the criminal justice system's best 'good news story' yet media reports scarcely mention them. We need to increase public knowledge of their contribution.
The organisation 'Intermediaries for Justice' has established a sound base in its first few years, with committee members working hard behind the scenes, on a voluntary basis, to provide training, raise awareness, consult with other organisations and press for change. As the voice of all those who wish to see this new profession flourish, IfJ will undoubtedly play a key role in shaping future intermediary developments.

New Vocabulary … Bump Proof Locks
August 12th, 2013 by Darci Rosenblum / Link to This
Within any industry, there are specific vocabulary terms that go along with it. For example, in the plumbing industry you might hear "blow bag" which is a device used for drain cleaning. In locksmithing, I've come across the term "bump proof" many times and have decided that it was time to learn more about this frequently used term.
Upon first investigation, I learned that lock bumping is a recent trend in burglaries, which can make it easy and fast to break into homes without needing too much special equipment, and leaving any trace of forced entry (they say even a child can bump a lock). It works almost as well as actually having a key, so the technique can very quickly open about 90% of American household locks.
Looking back in time, Locksmiths have long used the "lock bumping" technique to gain access to locks when a key is not present. The term "bumping" comes from the fact that a specially cut key is inserted into a keyhole and then tapped or "bumped" by a screwdriver or other object. This "bumping" forces the pins in the lock to jump to their shear line, and with a little torque applied to the key, the lock will open. With the advent of the Internet, this technique was made generally available and sadly, companies are selling the specially cut keys online. Anyone with an Internet connection now has access to the technology and tools needed to gain entry to your home.
The good news is that it is preventable. The industry responded to the surge in bumping devices and created bump proof locks. Our locksmiths can come out and replace your lock with a secure system that involves a normal pin tumbler lock plus an additional secondary locking system (sidebar) on the side of the key that involves lifting and rotating of additional pins that can't be opened with a bump key.
So to sum up my investigation, it seems like anyone with $3 and an Internet connection can get into your home. In my opinion, go that extra mile and install bump proof locks today.
Example of what a bumping key looks like.

Grantham churches will join the 'wave of prayer'
Grantham churches are joining together to take part in a global 'wave of prayer'.
The Archishop of Canterbury has called for the wave of prayer between May 25 and June 4, and churches in the Grantham district are taking up the challenge. People are being asked to pray as one under the theme "Thy Kingdom Come."
It will be launched on Ascension Day, at 7.30pm at the Church of the Ascension in Edinburgh Road.
Earlier in the day, there will be prayer and meditation from 3.30pm to 7pm at All Saints Barrowby and St Sebastian's, Great Gonerby, together with an exhibition of prayers by children from local schools.
Rev Chris Boland, vicar of the Church of the Ascension, said: "I'm very excited about the initiative. It will be a good chance to pause and reflect, particularly coming before the General Election."
There will be prayer stations at the Church of the Ascension from Monday, May 29 to Friday, June 2, from 10am to noon, and at St John's Manthorpe on the same days from 11am to 3pm.
Prayer stations at St Anne's, Harrowby Road, will be open from 10am to noon from Monday, May 29, to Thursday, June 1. Tea and coffee will also be available. Rev David Shenton said: "Prayer stations are a series of points around the church reflecting different aspects of life with guidance to help you. You can come and go as you like and everyone is welcome."
Parish churches in the Harlaxton area have produced a prayer diary and an enhanced prayer corner in their churches.
The church of St John the Baptist, Londonthorpe, will be open on Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28, at 2pm for a Quiet Hour.
Fr Stuart Cradduck, rector of St Wulfram's, said the church is available from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 1pm on Saturdays every week for private prayer and a chance for everyone to get away from the rush of modern life, as well as for worship, details of which can be found on www.stwulframs.org.uk
Other denominations are also supporting the initiative. John Dyson, Pastor of Barrowby Baptist Church, said: "We could all have had our own events, but we will encourage people to attend what their parish churches are putting on."
The wave of prayer ends with a service of Pentecost Praise for everyone at 6pm on June 4 at Jubilee Life Centre.

Here is an interesting surprise. Everyone assumed that the 1GB iPod nano would replace the screenless iPod Shuffle. I guess Apple figured there is a sizeable market of folk who only want simplicity and the Shuffle is indeed that.
The most noticeable difference is that Apple has rendered the Shuffle into a simple belt clip. At a tiny 1.6" square the unit is as basic as they come. Like its bretheren its made of aluminum and this matchbook player comes in just one version, a 1GB unit for $79.

Publication in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy: Development of Dual-Acting Pyrimidinediones as Novel and Highly Potent Topical Anti-HIV Microbicides
November 1, 2011
Karen W. Buckheit, Director of Topical Microbicide Development and STI Research has published a manuscript with co-authors Dr. Robert W. Buckheit Jr. and Dr. Lu Yang entitled "Development of Dual-Acting Pyrimidinediones as Novel and Highly Potent Topical Anti-HIV Microbicides" which was published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (2011, 55(11), 5243-5254, PMCID: 3195032). The data presented therein discusses the activity of 12 pyrimindinedione molecules in specific HIV microbicide assays and justifies a rationale for the continued development of IQP-0528 as the lead microbicide candidate. The data generated was supported by a NIH Phase I Small Business grant that was won by Dr. Buckheit in 2008.Return to Press Releases

Portman Announces President's Budget Increases Funding for Wright Patterson Air Force Base's National Air and Space Intelligence Center
$116 Million for NASIC Will Help Modernize Facilities to Better Confront Modern Threats
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) today announced that President Trump's FY 2019 Budget proposes $116 million in funding to upgrade the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. NASIC's main campus facilities are overcrowded and require modernization to meet today's missions. With significant total force growth that has outpaced their facility growth, NASIC has been forced to utilize antiquated World War II era facilities on base and temporary structures. This investment in NASIC infrastructure will provide the command with much needed secure spaces that meet the demands of the growing workforce and the associated information technology requirements of modern facilities. Portman released the following statement:
"Last year, I had the opportunity to visit Wright-Patter Air Force Base and meet with the men and women serving in the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. I saw firsthand NASIC's most recent military construction project for their Foreign Military Exploitation mission, as well as some of the groundbreaking analysis they are doing to keep our skies and our country safe from foreign threats. However, I also saw many of our intelligence professionals performing highly technical, 21st century work in World War II era facilities. The Pentagon's latest National Defense Strategy highlights the harsh realities of the threats we face in the world and the steps we need to take to confront them. NASIC will continue to play an important role providing the nation and our leaders with an understanding of foreign threats to U.S. air and space operations. I am pleased the president's budget for 2019 supports the mission of NASIC and Wright-Patt by providing the funding they need to upgrade their facilities and continue their important work. I believe it will make a difference to our Airmen and Air Force Civilians at Wright-Patt and to our troops around the world who rely on NASIC for accurate and timely intelligence."
NOTE: Last year, Senator Portman's amendments to support jobs and the important research mission at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's Air Force Research Lab were signed into law as part of the NDAA. This legislation is critical to our national security and to maintaining our military's technological edge. In May of last year, the Senate passed Portman and Senator Joe Donnelly's (D-IN) resolution honoring the cutting-edge work of Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories such as the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patt. Portman visited NASIC and other units at Wright-Patt in March and August of last year.

Devilskin & Skarlett Riot, The Iron Road Evesham
A road trip is always something I welcome on a Saturday especially for gigs, so it was great anticipation and my oldest friend that we packed the car and headed to Evesham in Worcestershire. After some traffic shenanigans we finally arrived at The Iron Road and made our way inside. Now I've never been to The Iron Road before but what a venue it is, a compact pub with a large, well stocked bar and huge burgers named after various rock and roll icons. Ordering a pint of the house ale and a delicious Lemmy burger (covered in JD you see?) we watched England beat Ireland in the rugby, with us cheering for Ireland naturally while the bands got set up on the stage in the corner of the room. So yes the bands that was the reason we were here most notably for the debut UK headline tour of New Zealand outfit Devilskin, having been suitably impressed by their album last year I was excited to see whether the talent shown on the record would translate to the live arena.
First up however were Scunthorpe mob Skarlett Riot who play spiky, melodic heavy rock with a modern edge and lashings of attitude and confidence, led by the bottle rocket of Skarlett on vocals the band blasted away with a set list of 8 songs that started with Divide Us and moved through the ballsy Wake Up, the heavy Adrenaline and the darker Villains that has huge sing along hook. Skarlett has a superb vocal that was a higher octave than that of the headline band, her vocal was very powerful and was a perfect fit for the bands modern hook-laden sound reminding your writer of Paramore's Haley Williams but set to a heavier backing, which is a very good thing indeed. The backing band were also full of sparks with manic drummer Luke smashing along with aplomb, bassist Martin couldn't keep still as he plucked out rhythms galore leaving Danny to stab at his guitar and deliver a killer solo on House Of Cards. With melodic, hook-laden songs, big riffs and a keen ear of melody Skarlett Riot whet the appetite perfectly, a band well worth checking out live! 8/10
Next then it was time for Devilskin, we were lucky to see the band really as their Barrowlands performance had been cancelled due to frontwoman Jennie's flu, but they managed to reach Evesham by way of The Underworld Camden and as the cosy venue became packed full of people and the band made their way to the stage, the young Nic on the drums, the demonic twins of (see the videos of Little Pills and Start A Revolution) Paul on bass and Nail on guitar before the lovely Jennie hit the stage and the band kicked into the excellently named Elvis Presley Circle Pit and then the chunky Vessel which showed Jennie's superb vocals they are strong and resonant, showing no sign of the flu at all, especially on the aggressive, BLS-like Until You Bleed where she was giving guttural roars from the bowels of hell. In fact Devilskin have a distinctly modern sound merging the pinch harmonics of Zakk and co with some more groove based acts like Pantera and even a bit of Disturbed thrown in mainly due to Paul's bass heavy sound and Nail's technical but not always overt guitar wizardry which has much in common with the latter's Dan Donegan. The band were visual with Nail and Paul frequently switching places and moving around the small stage, heads were banging on the strong and emotive Surrender which has great solo too. Then the band did something that was a bit of risk by dropping a cover of Dio's Holy Diver that if I'm honest was far better than Killswitch Engage's retaining the magic of the original but adding the bands heaviness, smiles all round and back into their own stuff with Fade which errs on the side of Alter Bridge or Creed but has a huge chorus that you can't help sing along to. The band were working through their set at a rate of knots, the bass driven Never See The Light coming next giving more chances to headbang with its fast-slow dynamic and dirty slide riff. When the band did stop they were very appreciative of the crowd coming out to see them and seemed to be having a lot of fun on this tour, the crowd were receptive of this and became more so with the double header of latest single Start A Revolution and previous single Mountains which built the crowd up again. Devilskin are really masters of their craft having toiled for so long on the New Zealand scene it was great to see so many out supporting them in Evesham, more call-and-response on Dirt before the main set ended with new song We Rise which bodes well for their second album. A bit of a break a few thank you's, no chance to get off stage due to the sheer volume of people in the venue so it was back into the encore of the groove-laden Little Pills and the snarling Violation. An excellent set and tremendous performance showing that Devilskin are on that upward trajectory towards bigger things. 9/10
That was that with more well wishing and a chance to cool down and have a drink the band seemed happy and the punters too cheered for a good long while after the set before everyone got talking at the back of the venue. This night was one of those gigs where the planets align, two great performances, two amiable and humble bands, a superb rock venue and a welcoming responsive crowd supporting live music. If only all gigs were like this I'd be a happy bunny!

Abu Saleh Hasan Elwakid
Abu Saleh Hasan Elwakid
Canaan Fair Trade Olive Oil Producer, Alaraqa village.
Download printable profile (PDF)
"I am a candle burning for my children so they may have light"
These are the words of Abu Saleh, a Canaan Fair Trade olive oil producer from the village of Alaraqa. Abu Saleh, who worked as a construction worker in Israel up until 2001, says that he knows what humiliation is and this is why he is determined to give his children something precious, something they can hold on to and a land that can sustain them with dignity.
He is not your typical farmer nor is he your average guy on the street. Underneath his cheerful personality is a thoughtful man who is defying social and political limitations by raising his kids, particularly his daughters, in a way that allows them to be self-reliant. This is why he says he loves fair trade principles. "When I was a worker inside Israel I felt like a slave but today I am in charge of my own life. I work when I want to and I teach my children to be independent so they do not suffer like I did."
In his life, Abu Saleh's story represents the Canaan Fair Trade mantra of Insisting on Life. When he could no longer find work, Abu Saleh bought a couple of sheep and along with his wife, the family started making the freshest and best cheese in all of Alaraqa. At the same time, they planted lentils, wheat, and olives allowing Abu Saleh and his family to live a life fully supported by their land.
In his sustainable farm, he grows vegetables in season including tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers but he is most famous for his reputation as the honest seedling grower. In his small house, Abu Saleh prepares tree saplings from the indigenous olive variety that is most resistant to diseases. He is proud that most of his saplings always succeed after planting.
Abu Saleh is energized by the increased local awareness of organic farming and is happy that internationals' interest in Palestinian olive oil and most importantly the Palestinian farmer is feeding his natural tendency to be an open person. "My work in olive oil has introduced me to so many people from around the world and I have learned new things. For example before a man from Germany visited me I did not know that growing potatoes close to my olive trees is not a good idea. Now I know a new fact and with each visitor I have a new idea."
Looking at his daughters as he speaks, Abu Saleh says, "there is a difference between an awake person and a person who is closed. An awake person can learn from other people and other cultures and he can live in dignity because he can work and survive."
But Abu Saleh's appreciation for openness and cultural exchange does not stop at the thrill of receiving guests. He hopes that one day he can visit others around the world the way people freely come to visit him because he recognizes that there are so many people like him around the world who are left unknown. "Before we started selling our olive oil I felt that the outside world used to think Palestine is a land without a people but now when they eat my oil they know that we are here."
While the political and economic circumstances give him many reasons to see the world through a gloomy lens, Abu Saleh's resilience is in his ability to see beauty in everything, most importantly his daughters, his trees, and his hope that his work with Canaan Fair Trade can make a difference. We can all learn from Abu Saleh's insistence on life not just as a life to live but a life to be lived fully. As he likes to say, "we make the world beautiful or ugly depends on how we treat each other and the land we live in."

Jacob Argintaru | Report
Support for President Trump among black males has doubled over the past week according to a recent poll by Reuters.
22% of respondents said that they supported the president while 7.1% said that they had 'mixed feelings.'
The sudden spike in support is likely due to Kanye West, one of the most influential rappers alive, voicing his support for conservative figures like Candace Owens and President Trump over Twitter earlier this week:
West has been making conservative statements over social media for the past week, stirring up controversy among the predominantly left-wing music community.
However, Trump supporters and the political-right were overwhelmingly supportive of the rapper's statements. Even the president took to Twitter to praise the MC for his comments:
The vast majority of black Americans have disapproved of Trump since he became president, likely due to misinformation spread about him and his supporters being racist towards black people.
Kanye met with the then president-elect back in 2016 and plans to run for office in 2024.
More details to follow | Image from Twitter.

Ron Koh is no stranger in the local track and field scene. He has been around doing the discus for his college and university days. We catch with this big lad with a big heart and passion in 'throwing'
Date of Birth: 09/09/1983
Coach: James Wong/ John Seem
Personal Best: 37.96m
Date of Birth: 09/09/1983
Coach: James Wong/ John Seem
Personal Best: 37.96m
Well i started track and field only in JC2 and was addicted to the sport since then. I was a super late bloomer just like kenneth Khoo. I love basketball as much but i have no chance to shine in that area.
I started track and field after my CJC captain Kenneth Khoo pull me into the team with then the CJC coach, Mr Melvin Tan. Before that i broke my Secondary school shot putt record. I only started training for discus under CJC's second coach which is Mr Vincent Quek. Till today i will never forget how well did Mr Quek and Mr Tan and without these 2 coaches, i will not be what i am today. FOr training, i feel that u are only young once, why not try to excel in something rather than wasting your youth
I used to train very hard but after training with new coach, my training became much lighter but more intensive. I do weights 3 times a week and throw around 9 times a week and rest days on Saturdays and Sundays.
i have no training group but I will train with james wong in National Stadium whenever i have the time to.
I've only represented Singapore for the AUG once and that is my best experience other than Singapore open. My role model will be Mr C kunalan, Mr John Seem and Mr James Wong, thay are the ones that will kick me in the butt and keep me going on.
What are you looking forward to right now? Your long term dream/goal
I hope 'tio' throw 47m and above by 2007 and eventually make Singapore proud.
I am very grateful for what have Wings done for me. The committee members are really friendly and they will always ask you about your training when ever they bump into you. They ROCK!
Local athletic scene is damn sad. Sometimes I am severely injured yet i do not get treatment. 2 years ago i have slip disc injury and I have to pay almost a $1000 on medical fees and physio which i think is super not worth it. Not for my determination, i would have quit this sport, because it is too expensive to maintain.
You are only young once, fight hard!
Thank you Ron for participating

Day Ninety-Eighty (nonagesimo oitavo dia)
Friday (Sexta-feira)
10 Janeiro 2014
When John and I got up there was sun, but it quickly began to sprinkle. I don't mind running in the rain, but it is sort of unpleasant to sit around in my wet clothes, walk to the gym, warm-up again, and then sit at Pic-Nic in my wet clothes again. So I decided to run after the gym. We did five rounds, 10 reps each, of this circuit:
- Box blasts
- Decline push-ups
- SB leg curls
- Chin ups
- Plate swings
Push-up challenge Day 2: 50 decline push-ups. Ken is now officially on board with our challenge. This challenge has some rest days so he will be able to catch up.
I was all nice and warmed-up, so I told John and Ken to go ahead to Pic-Nic and I grabbed Romeo for a run. Four miles of sun-running later, I headed home.
Having been successful with the zucchini pasta, I headed back to the fruit market for more. I was making carne asada for dinner and switched out the potatoes for zucchini. It was definitely a lighter fare, but it was good. I wanted to have a sweet potato after I taught, so I prepped it before I left. I had bought a few at the fruit market earlier, but when I went to peel it it was white, not orange. I had bought sweet potatoes here in Povoacao before and they had been orange. I finished peeling it (I even chewed on one of the thicker peels to try and figure out what kind of root vegetable I had purchased), cut it up, and threw it in a pyrex pan with some salt and olive oil. As soon as I got to Toronto I asked Lina what the hell it was.
Turns out, they have white and orange sweet potatoes here. When I got home, I roasted it, drizzled honey & sprinkled cinnamon on it, and devoured it. #delish
John and I have talked a lot about going paleo when we get home, but the more I find out about it, the more I just want to do my own thing. No legumes mean no hummus, chili, or PEANUT BUTTER (how could I survive?). No corn means no cornflakes. No soy milk which is fine because at home I can buy almond. I'm cool with the dairy-free / gluten-free, but the other stuff is going to have to go. Or stay. Whatever.
After I had my incredibly delicious paleo dessert, I headed to Pic-Nic to try to Skype with my dear friend Anna from home. I always have really good wifi there, so I figured I would be more successful than I had been recently at home. Nope, false hope. We ended up iMessaging for a while, which just isn't the same. Lina messaged me while I was there and invited us over to Luisa and Emanuel's for drinks after John and Ken got back from practice. Not long after that, Lina messaged me again saying that because of the rain they ended practice. John showed up at Pic-Nic and we decided to just head home (even though Luisa and Emanuel are our neighbors). Lina tagged us on Facebook, so we told Ken to head back out in the rain, we were going!! John wanted me to make sure he didn't have to put pants on. Luckily, Lina, Ernesto, Luisa, and Julia were all in sweatpants, too.
Even though we said we were not going to stay long or drink very much, we did both. John and Ken finished off at least a bottle and a half of wine and we didn't walk home until almost 2:00am. We even stayed a little longer because it was raining so badly, but eventually we walked the three doors home. As usual, we were very happy we went.
Day Ninety-Nine (nonagesimo nono dia)
Saturday (Sabado)
11 Janeiro 2014
I had made plans with two girls from my class to go to the pools in Furnas (I am trying to make more friends. It's working). After I had ½ a PB&J, John and I went down to Pic-Nic. I had my galao and headed to the gym, he got a Pic-Nic burger and fries and stayed to watch Chelsea play. I took the TRX with me, and I was hoping ALKE would be empty enough that I could use it. There were a handful of people when I got there, but they were all on the cardio side. Score.
- TRX trail leg squats (w/10kg) → TRX pikes
- Deadlifts → box jumps
- leg lifts → decline sit ups (w/10kg)
- side bends → hanging leg raises
I headed back to Pic-Nic where John, and now Ken, were. Eventually we headed home where I had eggs and a bowl of cornflakes with soy milk and bananas for lunch. John took Romeo for a walk and Romeo's collar detached and Romeo booked it. John came back soaking wet after running towards the ocean to secure Romeo. This is why my dad refers to him as Chucklehead. We have less-nice names for him.
Before I went to meet the girls, I stopped downstairs at Carla's salon; she was finding out the sex of her baby that morning. I opened her door but she was with a client in the back. She ran into her lobby still wearing her plastic gloves, which were covering the fists she was throwing into the air as she sang: "I'm having a GIRL!" I gave her a big hug. The thing about Carla is she makes you feel like you are having a girl, too. She makes you just as happy as she is. Francisco gets a sister.
I met Leila and Lola back at Pic-Nic at 3:00pm and we headed into Furnas. I have been to the big pool at Terra Nostra a few times now, but Leila said she really likes Poça de Beija (trans: Puddle of Kiss) which are smaller, hotter pools, so we went there instead. I was talking about how Ernesto always takes us because he really likes the pools but Lina doesn't like them. Lola 'fessed up that she doesn't like them either, she just came to hang out with us. She didn't even bring her bathing suit. So Leila and I enjoyed the pools. She tried to get me to go into the river where the water is NOT warm at all, but I figured it out after only committing my feet.
We stopped for bolos levedos and papos grossas (which is pudding made with corn that Leila loves and bought for me to try) on the way back at the same place Ernesto always takes us. Leila let me drive her Fiat back to Povoacao. While I was driving we saw the Mira Mar van driving to the Juniors game with John passed out in the front seat. Back in Povoacao, we got coffees at Pic Nic and made more plans to hangout.
The Juniors were playing in the city at 6pm so once I got home I made more zucchini pasta and sauce, and another sweet potato (batata doce) for dessert. John and Ken got home around 9:00pm (the juniors WON! Again!) and after I made pasta and sauce for them, I hit the hay.
Day One Hundred! (um centesimo dia)
Sunday (Domingo)
12 Janeiro 2014
Just as soon as John came home from playing soccer, he was gone again. He had a game in the city and they were taking the team out to breakfast first so he had to be down at the jardim around 9:00am. Romeo and I took our sweet time getting ready, I ate a bolos levedos leftover from yesterday's trip to Furnas with some PB, and out we went. Romeo came for almost 3 miles with me and then I finished 5 more by myself. I went to lomba do cavaleiro past Mira Mar's complex (heading towards Furnas) instead of lomba do alcaide. Driving there the day before had reminded me how long it's been since I ran that way. I was glad I did.
I swept and mopped and wiped the whole apartment down and then I went for my galao. I must have hit the after-church crowd, because shortly after I arrive the place was packed. I went home and took Romeo out (the sun was shining.. it was another beautiful day), and got dinner ready for me and the boys.
I made chicken with rice and vegetables (no rice for me). John and Ken brought a bottle of Jameson home with them because they lost. Again. After dinner we played our version of the game Headbands. We each wrote down the name of a character—fiction or non-fiction—and then passed it to the person to our left, we then stuck the one that was handed to us to our foreheads without looking at it. You could ask as many yes-or-no questions as you wanted on your turn until the answer was "no", and then it was the next person's turn. Ken is really good at this game, and John and I are not as good. John had "Bruce Springsteen" stuck to his head for almost an hour. John then rigged the game by giving both Ken and me "Hermione Grainger" and convincing us we weren't the same person. Douche.

Putting ERP to Work in Higher Ed
with Jason Shaffner
About Me
Examining the ongoing challenges of delivering high-quality, value-added ERP services in Higher Education.
Monday, October 1, 2012
OOW 2012 Day One Notes
Had a great first day out here in San Francisco, which has been "painted red" (quote from this morning's keynote) rather literally -- Oracle logos everywhere!
"Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management: The Un-Scorecard Manual"
- Kevin McGinley (Accenture)
Interesting session demonstrating how to think outside the box and put OSSM -- one of the four building blocks of Oracle BI Foundation Suite -- to optimal use beyond the narrow scope of scorecards. By not locking oneself into the meaning of "actual" and "target" and recognizing that you can co-opt the KPI Object to compare ANY two measures, content developers can save themselves a lot of effort and deliver value more efficiently to business users.
business intelligence solutions require creative problem-solving more than anything else... It's more "art" than science.
"Oracle Fusion Middleware in Higher Education"
- Tina Thorstenson (AVP and CISO of Arizona State University), Selim Burduroglu (Oracle) , Susan Beidler (Oracle)
After a primer on the components of Fusion Middleware (so many acronyms, so little time) the presentation focused on success stories across Higher Education with Web Center (Texas A&M), Business Process Management (UVa), OBIEE (FSU), among others. ASU advice was to start small and pick something low risk but highly visible. Success breeds success and all that... There was also a very interesting (though not relevant for me) overview of how Campus Solutions, now divorced from the other PeopleSoft applications, is pursuing a very different path to Fusion -- switching over to ADF and the Fusion UI over next several releases.
need to have our success stories up on that stage next year!
"The Neuroscience of Change" -
Grace Chang (UCLA, Professor, NeuroLeadership Institute), Samad Aidane (Project Manager, Aidane Group LLC)
Now this was a surprise... Don't think I ever thought I'd hear "neuroplasticity" or "basal ganglia" at an IT conference... Not even at EDUCAUSE. But this is such a valid and important topic -- projects almost always succeed or fail in lock-step with the change management program. According to the presenter, not only is resistance completely natural, but we should embrace it; resistance shows engagement and that's better than ambivalence or blind acceptance. They introduced another five-letter acronym and framework -- SCARF, which stands for Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness. It reminded me of this article http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/09/managing-just-fine from the Harvard Gazette last week.
people see your IT project as "a big carnivorous animal" trying to eat them.
Higher Education User Group
Final session of the day was a presentation by the Higher Education User Group (HEUG). Two big(ish) announcements were the launch of a Young Professionals Group (to qualify one must be sub-34, so alas I missed the cut) and an evaluation of the existing Product Advisory Group structure to ensure the right level of engagement with Oracle. Mostly this was a networking opportunity, so happy to have spent some time chatting with colleagues from Wisconsin, South Africa, North Dakota, and more.
Off to the Moscone Center now for Day Two!

Many of you have probably noticed many of my images have redbull cans as subject matter.
Well.....maybe if you guys didn't run and hide every time I pull out my camera I'd have some wonderful faces to post instead!
Seriously guys, knock it off. It's not going to steal your soul.

What?? Surprise article on a Saturday evening? You're welcome. The Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack was something I wasn't aware was a thing. It just so happened I was on TRU's website and was looking for something to take advantage of a BOGO 40% off sale and came across this guy. I didn't even know the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack existed. The rest is history.
What's in the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack box?
It's pretty straightforward in a standard Black Series 2 pack box. You get a nice looking, chubby, Admiral Ackbar and then some rando with a First Order uniform. Each figure comes with a laser weapon. I had the pictures up on my Instagram and Twitter accounts. Often times, our fans on those sites get previews of upcoming material and pictures before I debut them here. It's, at the very least, worth a follow so go take a look. While you're at it, there is a Facebook page also. Hey, I don't shamelessly self-promote as much as I should, so when I do do it, I get pretty excited. Also, this is me excited.
What doesn't work with the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack?
As I mentioned, Ackbar isn't the svelte squid creature who shouted "IT'S A TRAP!" all those decades ago, so his belly kind of gets in the way. Fortunately, Hasbro placed his torso joint on top of the belly, so it's less of a hassle. Ackbar's head has so little head articulation that you have to wonder why they even bothered. Unfortunately, neither figure has the articulation or accessories of their recent Jaina Solo.
What works with the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack?
The sculpt and paint job on Ackbar is what sold the figure for me. He looks really nice next to my other most recent trilogy figures, like Rey, Poe, and Leia. He has an articulated jaw. While neat, I also feel like there was an expectation to be able to pose him yelling, "It's a trap!" I also feel like he has adequate fishy hands. He has a weapon, but have you ever seen him hold a gun in-film? Me either. Maybe on the Clone Wars cartoon where he fought against the Republic (that's how I remember the episode). Here's some more information on everyone's favorite appetizer.
Surprisingly, the generic First Order officer is not bad to fill out a scene.
Do you want the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack?
Meh. I don't feel like I am a better person for owning the Star Wars Black Series Admiral Ackbar 2 Pack. It's a Toys R' Us Exclusive and if you want a 1:12 Admiral Ackbar figure, this is the only game in town. If that isn't your gig, the set is probably an easy pass for you. That's a real sham, because it is a great Ackbar figure.
You can pick him up here if you want.

I had planned on getting family photos {EVERY} 3 months during the first year of Marshall's life, but life got busy & I never scheduled anything for his 3 month photos, I just took some individual shoots of him myself. Then, I got sad when I realized how much he'd changed since our family photos that we took when he was a newborn . . . I knew I definitely needed to schedule something when he turned 6 months. So, I e-mailed another photog friend, Katie Pace Photography, to get on her books, we ended up trading family sessions with one-another & it worked out {SPLENDID}!
Marshall was not happy & did not crack a smile until the end of the session when I got him naked, ha! Chandler did an awesome job . . . considering that he doesn't let me take a photographs of him anymore. that could have something to do with the fruit snacks that I bribed him with 😉
I cannot wait to print these and clutter my walls with all of these {YUMMY} goodness!!
