A 'one off' design commission 'the design and realisation of a 'one off' tandem to aid the development of an adolescent male who suffers from cerebral palsy', integrated with new methods of curriculum development being undertaken at Nottingham Trent University within the restructured subject area of Product Design. The design is being undertaken by students on programmes of study leading to;
- BSc (Hons) Degree Product Design (Years One and Two), and
- BSc (Hons) Degree Mechanical Engineering, Final Year.
The design supervision is undertaken by the programme leaders for the courses (Alan Crisp and Jim Dale) who are principal lectures in engineering design and product design. Alan has conducted research in the field of inclusive design for the past 15 years. The integrity of the design work is underpinned by the experience and knowledge of the designers, the evidence for which can be demonstrated through published papers and extant products developed and realised in this particular field. It is anticipated that reporting of three areas of particular interest will be forthcoming from the work:
- Pedagogic issues of students working in groups across different levels of HE and different disciplines.
- Design for Manufacturing issues relative to the use of new techniques, i.e. CAD / CAM in particular laser cutting and jig and tool development.
- The design and manufacture of a tandem tricycle for the disabled; including rear axle drive with differential and rear steering.
The authors intend to use the experience gathered to introduce more innovative teaching and learning methods to the subject area post 2007. The authors also acknowledge a grant of £400 from Radcliffe-on-Trent Lions, to aid with the design and build of the tandem.

Curricula content within the design context
This research concentrates on explicit and specific areas of design teaching and programme development. This focus comes at a time when eclectic influences from many governing bodies begin to impinge upon the activities of course authors and designers. The research analyses the methods employed when attempting to incorporate contemporary issues within the core modules of design teaching, i.e. graphics, CAD, design and critical studies. It examines the introduction by the professional bodies of new datum for 'entry qualifications' coupled with an increased awareness by the educational authorities of the need to evidence 'quality' and the effects these will have on design teaching.
Sustainable development
The main area of concern in this research is to integrate the aim of sustainable development as embodied in such concepts as the European Environmental programme 'sustainable development', within the curricula at undergraduate level, focusing on the relationship between teaching, assessing and the specified objectives for the course.
It compares traditional courses, which have tended to focus on the 'nuts and bolts' of specific subjects. The structure of the courses follows the modern trend in education; that is, discreet modules superimposed on a two semester system or year long system, which span the traditional three term academic year.
Research: Biomechanics and Sport
The main thrust of this research, in which Alan has been active for six years, is to provide athletes with disabilities the opportunity for active participation in sport. Therefore, the design of an improved tricycle running frame for athletes with cerebral palsy is of particular importance.

Osa Atoe's hands are caked in clay, but that's nothing new. In her backyard workshop, surrounded by half-finished jars and pots, a bowl filled with old cassette tapes and a detached mannequin head, Atoe is at the wheel, throwing another lump of red clay.
In only two and a half years of selling her handmade ceramics, she has become a prolific potter, with nearly 500 sales on Etsy and countless more through retail and local markets. She was also one of the first participants of the Mid City Makers Market.
With pieces featured in Southern Living magazine and interior design site The Jungalow, Atoe's name recognition—and the recognition of her signature, etched pottery—is only growing. She's clear, though, that no matter how quickly Osa Atoe the brand has grown, Osa Atoe the artist is still evolving and finding her way.
"As an artist, you're following your intuition and figuring out what you're trying to convey," Atoe, 39, says. "Art exists because words aren't enough. … So I'm still trying to figure it out and find a way to create things that are true to me, and true to what people want when they think of my work, and that inspire me." potterybyosa.com
1. Atoe originally studied to be a teacher. She left the career to become a self-employed potter after taking community pottery classes in New Orleans in 2013.
2. Her art is influenced by many cultures. She draws inspiration from her parents' Nigerian roots, as well as elements from Greco-Roman and Native American cultures and beyond. Most of all, they're totally American, she says—a reflection of the true U.S. melting pot.
3. This former Portland resident is a veteran of the punk rock scene. She's been invited to show in two exhibitions at the Conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts in Pittsburgh this year, one of which will showcase the art of current and erstwhile punk artists.
4. She's phasing out of retail in stores, focusing more on arts markets and museum work. Your best bet to get one of her pieces: a local market or her Etsy store, Pottery by Osa.
5. She'll start teaching adult pottery classes at Journey Lab this month. More dates to come throughout 2018.

The UN General Assembly's disarmament committee adopted a resolution on 27 October 2016 in New York to launch negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons. Unlike biological and chemical weapons, nuclear weapons have not been banned. Switzerland recognises that there is a gap in international law in this respect. In Switzerland's view, additional legal instruments are necessary in order to implement the disarmament obligation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
It considers it imperative that the negotiation process be inclusive and that a future nuclear weapons ban be supported by as many states as possible because such a ban will be significantly more effective if it is supported by states that already possess nuclear weapons. In order to facilitate the broadest possible participation in this process, Switzerland had put forward concrete proposals for consensus-oriented decision-making mechanisms and had called for the inclusion of all stakeholders.
Because the text of the resolution made no reference to negotiations that would be as consensus-oriented as possible, Switzerland cast an abstaining vote. Switzerland explained its position in its statement on its abstention.
Switzerland will take part in the negotiations, which are set to begin in 2017, with the aim of building bridges and helping to prevent a further polarisation of the international community. Switzerland advocates a nuclear disarmament policy that makes a genuine contribution to security by facilitating effective steps towards disarmament and that also furthers strategic stability.
Switzerland will continue to work for practical and sustainable measures to bring about a world free of nuclear weapons. One of Switzerland's priorities is to reduce the risks posed by nuclear weapons and specifically to reduce the operational readiness of nuclear weapons ('de-alerting'). Furthermore, Switzerland supports cooperative approaches to verify nuclear disarmament. To this end, it has submitted to the disarmament committee a resolution that has garnered trans-regional support.

Wooster, Ohio – With postseason aspirations still on the line, the Wittenberg University Baseball team picked up another key North Coast Athletic Conference series split on Wednesday (5/1) as the Tigers earned their first victory over No. 10 Wooster since the 2011 season with an 8-7 win over the Scots in game two from Art Murray Field in Wooster. Wittenberg did drop a 14-4 decision against Wooster in the opener, but with the Tigers now sitting at 8-8 on the year in league play, they are still very much in the mix for one of the final two spots in the upcoming NCAC Baseball Tournament, set for May 9-11 at VA Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. The final seeds and pairing for the conference tournament will be announced later in the weekend once the full conference schedule has been completed.
Series Breakdown
After falling 14-4 in the opener, the Wittenberg bats came to life early in game one as the Tigers pushed across three runs to take the early lead over the Scots. Sophomore Hayden Knox got things going for the Tigers in the top of the first with a one-out double to right center, while classmate Jack Siefert drove him home two batters later with a homer over the left field wall. The Tigers weren't done in the first as sophomore Mason Davis laced a single down the right field line in the very next at bat and was driven home immediately on a double to center field off the bat of junior Patrick Kenny. Wooster got one run back in the bottom of the third off Wittenberg sophomore starter Rusty Hayhurst, before the Tigers once again posted a three-spot in the top of the fifth to build a 6-1 lead. The Tigers got an unconventional run to open the fifth as Davis drew a two-out bases loaded walk, while Kenny drove home the final two runs on a sharp single up the middle that plated sophomore Jack Hollinshead and senior Matt Baker. Wooster got another run back in the bottom of the fifth on a solo homer, but Wittenberg was able to push the eventual game-winning runs across in the top of the sixth inning. Sophomore David Hamrick drove home the Tigers seventh run on a single to right field that brought home classmate Tanner Boros, before Hamrick eventually came around to score later in the inning on a single to third off the bat of junior Justin Bargar. Wooster did threaten with two runs in the sixth, two runs in the seventh and another in the ninth, but masterful relief work by senior right-hander Brandon Beegle and junior right-hander Adam Mays helped preserve the historic one-run victory for the Tigers over the Scots. Beegle entered the game in the fifth inning, striking out four and allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits in 2.1 innings of work to pick up his second win of the season on the mound, while Mays earned his fourth save of the season after striking out three and allowing just one earned run on two hits over the final 2.2 innings of play. Kenny led the Tigers at the dish in game two by going 3-for-5 with three RBI, while Hamrick finished the game going 2-for-3 at the plate with one RBI and two runs scored.
Up Next
Wittenberg will now wrap up the 2019 regular season campaign this Saturday with another crucial NCAC DH at home against Ohio Wesleyan. First pitch from Carleton Davidson Stadium in game one is set for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. In addition, the Tigers will celebrate the careers of the four graduating players with a program Senior Day Ceremony.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) – What do you do with your boarding pass after you fly? Do you even think about it? It not, you could be putting yourself in danger.
Crooks can get information from that pass and use it to steal your identity.
So, what kind of personal information do you think is on your boarding pass? We asked Jim Loughlin of Milford as he was coming off a flight at Bradley International Airport.
"Let's see, my name, my frequent flyer numbers and that's about it," said Loughlin.
Experts say there's much more than just a seat number and your name on your boarding pass because of the bar-code. Some airlines have precautions in place, but the bar-code on your boarding pass can be a pass to your personal information.
David Polgar is a college professor and an attorney. He says you need to treat your boarding pass like a credit card, because the credit card information you used to purchase your ticket can be embedded in the bar-code.
"We have to start thinking that there are a lot of ways for information to leak out. A bar-code on an airline ticket is one of those. So, if you have an airline ticket throw it away after you're done with it"
He says it's not just boarding passes, but bar-codes can hold personal information on just about anything. A thief stole money reading the bar-codes of a winning ticket.
"A woman posted on social media that she won a lot of money at the racetrack. But that racetrack ticket that she posted on Instagram made it possible for somebody to steal the information and steal the money."
Another thing about the boarding pass. It tells thieves when you're gone. If you leave your boarding pass and they find it, it lets them know that you're not at home.

The warm, gooey feeling of altruism on the Desert Relief Riding Expedition
If your recent vacations have felt a little too self-indulgent (read: eating, drinking and partying yourself into an absolute mess), then it may be worth ditching the stinking hangover for something more wholesome on your next adventure.
Namely, taking part in the Desert Relief Riding Expedition. This incredible, off-the-beaten-track experience marries serious Eastern adventure, the warm feeling of helping others, and sand. Lots and lots of sand.
Over the past 14 years, the organisation has helped more than 25,000 people living in poverty in India, Turkey, and Ecuador. That's a cool enough feat on its own but wait for it...
They do it on horseback and motorcycles!
Yes, you heard right.
Whoa .... what does this Desert Relief Riding Expedition entail?
There are several choices of location – from the ancient Thar Desert in Rajasthan to the exotic Amazon jungle (a jungle that, quite frankly, needs no introduction). However, wherever you go, the aim remains the same – to provide humanitarian aid to the people you encounter. Well… the rural population of these areas at least.
And as we mentioned earlier, (remember, just before you got really excited?) there are choices when it comes to the transport you use for your trek. These are in the form of traditional horseback or (slightly less rustic, but instantly cooler) a legendary Royal Enfield Motorcycle!
The relief you provide may be in the form of taking school supplies to local students, helping out in medical camps, or delivering goats to impoverished villagers (the goats have their own transport – they won't need to hitch a ride on the back of your motorcycle).
Yes. You may now use the word coooooool.
In Short
- An epic trek across famous deserts on horseback or motorcycle
- Stunning scenery (and lots of sand)
- Help poverty-stricken people across India, Turkey, and Ecuador
- A guaranteed better feeling than a hangover!
Your Adventure Awaits!

It took 20 years to get even, but it's costing only 25 cents on the dollar for the opportunity.
When art book publisher Harry N. Abrams saw three of its key staffers bolt in 1981 to set up a similar rival publishing venture, Abrams could do little to block them.
But fast-forward to today. The trio no longer controls its company, and a bankruptcy court judge yesterday put the breakaway publisher on the auction block to just one bidder – Harry N. Abrams.
"It's an interesting way of returning," said one publishing source familiar with the case. "What they created is all going back into the fold at Abrams,"
The trio, led by Andrew Stewart – who would go on to achieve fame as the ex-husband of lifestyle diva Martha Stewart – created a small but once-formidable venture that's amassed assets of $25 million, with liabilities of $24 million.
Abrams is said to be paying just $6 million for those assets, which would give creditors 25 cents on the dollar for them.
Stewart and his partners, Lena Tabori and Mai Chang, had earlier sold their interest in Stewart, Tabori & Chang, to U.S. Media Holdings, which eventually wound up in bankruptcy court here.
The bankrupt U.S. Media had three divisions: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, its art book unit; Smithmark Publishers, a promotional books division; and Golden Turtle Press, which publishes popular calendars such as a "Star Wars" calendar.
Abrams is owned by French media conglomerate Hervé de La Martiniére.

Ginger was adopted from our first class and is living the good life in New England!
Here is what Gingers Mom had to say,
" Tell them at the work camp that it was absolutely their efforts that made her so attractive to us. For my sons first dog, having a dog that had all that training who I knew would not try to walk all over him -- was what really sealed the deal for us and made us want her! So they really saved her life by doing that for her, I guess! Thanks again for everything. We really love her.
This morning after her breakfast and potty, she came up to the back door to come in but when Thomas opened the door for her she crouched down as if to say "Wanna Play?" It was awesome! So he went out and ran around with her and threw her ball. She actually ran to the ball and pounced on it, though she did not play with it yet. When Thomas got home from scout camp today he went right up to her and laid down beside her. She turned and put her head down on his back!"

So if you've read my previous post, you know that my dad suddenly passed away a couple of weeks into my 13-country Exquisite Freedom tour.
I don't think it'll really be real until I see a voicemail from my parents' number and it no longer says:
any Lea
expectation to be crushed
But what's been most crushing is the expectation that I should be crushed. It's like the world expects me to fall apart with guts hanging out, expects me to implode into total darkness, expects me to drift into unconsciousness, and/or expects me to completely lose my shit.
People, I can't live up to your expectations!!! Of course, I was deeply shocked. Still kinda am. Of course, I was sad. Of course, I cried. A lot. But I coached my clients better than ever. One client even said she got her money's worth and we're only at week 6 of 18. I got a shit load of logistics and paperwork done post-funeral. My brothers and I pumped up the music and purged the house of mountains of mountains of random things. And I hoped back on a plane to continue my Exquisite Freedom tour.
What's with this odd expectation that I should be crushed? I'm not. I'm saddened by it all. It hurts when I think about it, but I'm not crushed.
Can you imagine what it's even like?
To me, death is the ultimate freedom. I've gone against so many grains, I've broken so many rules, and I've yanked off so many shackles (very painful, not gonna lie). I'm not afraid of death. Death is the sweetest freedom there ever could be because I have NO regrets.
Can you image what that's even like? To not have a single regret? Not a single one? If I died tomorrow, there's nothing I would have or could have done differently. There's nothing I wanted to be that I am not already. There's no quality I wanted that I haven't cultivated.
There's no residue of guilt. No residue of should have, could have, would have. No residue of FOMO. No residue of inadequacy. No residue of comparison. No residue of societal, cultural or parental expectations.
Of course I have big dreams. But even if none of them ever come to fruition, I know I am the person I've always wanted to be. And if I'm given another day, another week, another month or another several decades, I will continue to be me-er than me. <fist bump Dr. Seuss>
Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong
Though I post fun photos of my adventures, just know that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Flights have been cancelled, causing domino mayhem with non-refundable hotels and non-refundable local transport. My luggage was lost. Then thankfully it was found. The uncertainty of it was tough. Flights have been majorly delayed. Homestays have been un-findable. My dad died suddenly. So what? I just curl up in a ball and call it quits? Hell, no!
My entire 13-country trip was $5,500 in flights. And this one last-minute trip from Bali to Vancouver to attend my dad's funeral was $3,000. It just doesn't seem right to me.
I was so, so, so triggered by this financial "injustice." And anger is always a mask for shame… shame that I wasn't the rich eldest doctor sole-provider retirement-account son my dad wanted, shame that I didn't earn more to give to the family, shame that when I did earn lots more I set titanium boundaries around no longer being the family provider and "money tree" (ie, you shake it and money falls out).
<deep sigh> So. Much. Shame.
I was swimming with turtles off the islands of Gili Air and Gili Meno, East of Bali. And it was like swimming with dad: they're both old, wrinkly, brown, slow and putz around.
And the most eerie experience is that with every passing day, I just feel fibers of pain, fear, and scarcity dissipate from my body. It's like when my dad died, so much of that pain, fear, and scarcity died with him.
3 Daily questions toward exquisite freedom
So what, I just stop traveling? I just give up my adventures. I just give up on who I am because things got all topsy-turvy in my life, beyond my control? Hell, no!
What keeps me grounded are these 3 daily questions I ask myself:
- Am I further along today than I was yesterday. The answer is magically always YES, even if I got "nothing" done today.
- Have I chosen courage over fear? The answer is not always YES, but at least it's way more often YES than it is no.
- Can I re-purpose the thing that I'm working on? If YES, proceed. If no, work on something else.
What's the ONE thing that made you successful?
Along my travels, someone asked me what's the ONE thing that has contributed most greatly to my success and freedom.
I've been thinking about this a lot. And my answer is: there is NO one thing. I could give you a list of 100, maybe even 1000 things around self-improvement, forgiveness, love, leadership, wealth mastery, mindset, marketing, relationships, resilience, habit, etc., etc., etc.
But she insisted on one thing. And in the moment, all that came out as the greatest contributor to my success is a silent promise I made to my non-existent child (if I ever chose to have any) that I would never for a single moment look at them and think, "I once had a dream, and then I had you, and there went my dreams." Not ever. Not for a single moment.
If it means I need to be financially free and the kind of mom who can and will hire a nanny, a cook, a chauffeur, and a pear tree full time, I will. Without the side dish of guilt. Without the side dish of regret.
You just don't break soul promises. Period.

For Release in India: August 2016
Release Number: 324PR16
The new Cat® 320D2 GC hydraulic excavator, with an operating weight of 20 100 kg (44,300 lb.), is engineered for low owning and operating costs, application versatility, simple routine maintenance, and long-term durability. The new model features a fuel-efficient Cat C4.4 ACERTTM engine and a powerful hydraulic system that uses an energy-saving design for optimum efficiency. The 320D2 GC's optimized main structures are built to perform flawlessly year after year in general construction applications, and the operator's station, equipped with low-effort, pilot-operated joystick controllers, is spacious, quiet, and comfortable.
Performance and structures
The C4.4 ACERT engine—with a gross power rating of 93 kW (125 hp)—uses a specially designed fuel system that operates robustly and reliably in areas where fuel might be of lesser quality. To ensure optimum cleanliness of fuel delivered to the engine, the filtration system uses a series of three filters, the primary filter having an integrated water separator and the twin secondary filters designed with fine-micron capacity. The engine meets US EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA equivalent emissions standards and features an Automatic Engine Control system that reduces engine speed during no-load operation to conserve fuel. Depending on the application, the 320D2 GC fuel savings is up to 17 percent more than its 320D2 counterpart.
The implement hydraulic system features dual hydraulic pumps delivering flows to 428 L/min (113 gpm) at pressures to 35 000 kPa (5,076 psi) for optimum digging and lifting performance. An independent pilot-pump ensures rapid, precise response for controlling the front linkage and swing and travel functions. Swing and travel speed was improved, compared to the 320D2. Hydraulic-system components are placed in close proximity to keep lines short, thus reducing friction loss and pressure drops for added efficiency.
In addition, regeneration valves in the boom-down and stick-in circuits rapidly transfer fluid between the cylinder ends, reducing loads on the main pumps and reducing cycle times. In addition, snubbers in the boom and stick cylinders cushion rod travel.
The 320D2 GC uses heavy-duty main-frames, including a modified X-frame carbody (lower frame) engineered for durability. The boom and sticks are robotically welded and feature a heavy-plate design. The undercarriage features sealed and lubricated track rollers, carrier rollers, and idlers that extend overall undercarriage life.
The new model uses a 5.7-meter (18.67-ft.) reach boom and a 2.9-meter (9.5 ft.) stick configuration designed for truck loading and trenching applications. A selection of Cat general-duty buckets allows matching machine performance to earthmoving requirements, and available work tools include Cat E Series and B Series hydraulic breakers.
Operating convenience and safety
The 320D2 GC features an ergonomically designed cab with low-effort, intuitive controls and a monitor that has the capability of displaying information in 42 languages. A fully adjustable seat and adjustable control-lever consoles enhance operator comfort and convenience, and the cab is pressurized with filtered air to keep the operator's environment clean and well ventilated.
Large glass areas provide optimum visibility, and all glass is affixed directly to the cab, eliminating frames, and the upper front glass opens and can be stored in the cab roof. The cab is designed to minimize sound levels and reduce vibration via viscous-rubber cab-mounting system.
For the safety of the operator and others on the job site, 320D2 GC is equipped with a hydraulic-activation lever that locks out all hydraulic functions when in its raised position. For the protection of the operator and technicians serving the machine, walking surfaces on the machine use anti-skid plating and countersunk bolts to reduce the prospect of slips and falls. A full-length firewall separates the pump compartment from the engine compartment and a ground-level engine shutdown switch is provided to stop the engine in emergencies.
Serviceability and technology
For convenience and safety, most of the 320D GC's routine service points can be reached from ground level. The highly efficient fuel filters are remote-mounted and readily accessible. To facilitate machine-health checks, pressure taps for fluid systems and S·O·SSM (scheduled oil sampling) ports are located for quick access. The air filter features a double-element design, and a display on the monitor advises when service is required. Batteries are maintenance-free, and a disconnect switch is standard. A remote greasing block enables easily lubricating boom and stick pivots.
The 320D2 GC is equipped with the Cat Product Link™ telematics system, a powerful system that collects data from multiple sensors integrated into the machine. This information is then wirelessly transmitted to the Cat VisionLink® system, the web-based interface that allows machine users to quickly access pertinent data, such as machine location, fuel consumption, idle time, utilization, and maintenance scheduling. In addition, a suite of Caterpillar developed technologies allows the machine owners to improve the efficiency of operations in the areas of equipment management, productivity, and safety.

The world is changing rapidly, from consumer preferences to new technologies to the kind of talent required to run a successful brand. But the fashion industry has struggled to keep up with the shifting global business landscape, and risks losing cachet if it fails to adapt.
Even the very concept of ownership is changing. The World Economic Forum has made a bold prediction that people won't own anything by 2030, which has given rise to a new subscription-based model in fashion. Companies like Rent the Runway and Higher Studio allow shoppers to pay a monthly fee to borrow clothing from high-fashion designers like Prada and Maison Martin Margiela, opening avenues for customers to access brands that might otherwise be out of reach of their budget.
Embracing Technology and Diversity is no Longer Optional
Today's business world is highly data-driven, and the most successful brands are intelligently collecting and utilising customer data to keep up with shifting trends in consumer demands. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are cornerstones of this data revolution, but the fashion industry has been sluggish in its embrace of these technologies. Many brands simply have not made the investment in the digital infrastructure necessary to harness the power of data, and find themselves behind the times with a potentially hefty investment needed to catch up to peers.
The culture shift around diversity, sexism and bullying has become front and center for many industries, but fashion still lags behind other industries in addressing these people-first concerns. To address this challenge, fashion needs to rethink the kind of talent it needs to thrive in today's environment, both from a human resources and technology standpoint. Essential Retail says in the UK alone, 60,000 new technology roles will be needed in the fashion industry by 2020.
Up-and-Coming Customers are Watching Your Business Practices
There's also an ongoing generational shift in who is spending money, and the emerging Generation Z is more aware of brands' attitudes towards the environment, and not afraid to vote with their wallets for brands that promote sustainability. According to Business of Fashion, 31 percent of Generation Z have boycotted a brand over their lack of environmental consciousness. This cannot be ignored, and companies are responding with new sustainability initiatives at every step of the supply chain.
For an industry that changes so readily at the whims of consumer tastes, fashion would serve itself, and its customers, by evaluating its business practices in the same way. Otherwise it risks falling even further behind the times, which is the antithesis of what fashion is all about.

What is my most prized possession?
Well, I excluded living creatures so I went searching the house. And I picked this:
Ledcat found this adorable pillow via Commonwealth Press and purchased one as a Christmas Gift for me. It is adorable, but it is also practical – I prop my head up with it every night. And when my chostochondritis flares up, it is very helpful.
So why prized? Because it came from Ledcat.

The criteria for this swap is:
It's Raining Men (hallelujah)
We're heading into the winter and we haven't had a male themed ATC for a while so let's combine these two themes into one ATC. OK, so now that you can't get the 'It's raining men, hallelujah' song out of your head, feel free to interpret this criteria anyway you like but your ATC must include:
- Male theme, and
- Include 'winter' colours such as black, grey or cool blues on your ATC (you don't have to use all these colours and you can use others, just keep to 'cool' colours).
- Australian papercrafters are encouraged to participate in this ATC swap.
- If you commit to this swap please, out of consideration for all participants meet the set deadlines.
- To participate, write a comment to add your name to the list of participants below and I will email you my address details.
- Post your ATCs and a stamped self addressed envelope to me on or by the posting deadline (see 7. below). I recommend that you put your ATCs into a plastic bag to protect them from bad weather.Deadline dates:
- Registration list for this swap opens Friday 22 May and closes Sunday 31 May.
- To register to participate, please leave a comment before the closing date. I will then confirm the number of ATCs needed to be made for the current swap.
- Swaps must be in the mail to me by no later than Friday 17 July (as mail can take a business week to arrive to me, depending upon where you are located and I should receive them all by Friday 24 July at the latest).
- I will post swaps received on Monday 27 July at the latest so you should all receive your ATCs before the end of May.
Participation governance:
- ATC swap numbers will be limited to ten people per swap.
- Founding members have automatic entry into each swap (but still need to confirm their participation for each swap).
- With the exception of founding members, participants will be eligible to take part on a 'first in' registration basis.
I do hope you will participate - any questions feel free to leave a comment.
What's an ATC?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATCs, it's a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5". There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to stick to the measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.

The summer is ending and a year has gone by.
Oh no, my dear Stefano Rota and Stefano Righi (otherwise known as the Musical duo of the Righeria), your summer song from the 80s which torments our conversations from the end of August to the end of September, is a huge lie.
Why? To make it to the end of the year we are still missing three months and two numbers of The Mag, including the one you are reading.
You will say, all this preamble just for a little publicity?
Not exactly, in reality I wanted to take it out on the one-hit-wonders of the summer but I didn't know how.
So in the hope of having a pleasant indian summer, the good news is that we left all those songs that were drilled into our ears and mind behind us. Most likely to sell us some kind of very good phone plan.
All is over.
At least until next summer. But don't think you got away with it: get ready for the great classics of the season, especially on the pages of social networks:
the first pictures of the rain with a melancholic quote, the funny guy who starts to make jokes about New Years, the nostalgic one who posts vacation photos adding the standard phrase "It was better here" to not speak of those who curse those who curse the heat, those who book their holidays in the Caribbean in December and want to let those who are already thinking of a Christmas tree know.
What a pain! To lighten all this up, we thought of a very rich menu to leaf thru as you like, when you want to, listen to with many playlists and to enjoy by video with some new treats only for you.
The new number of The Mag is beautiful (but why am I telling you this!) There are many characters: from Bebe Vio to Federica Angeli, from Giorgio Cavazzano to the singer Lenny.
And many stories. Like the one about Fausto Bizzirri, from the ceramics of the same name.
Did you know that he has been friends with Howard Schultz, yes Mr Starbucks.
In these pages you will find anecdotes and the narrative of the opening of the first shop of the famous chain of coffee shops of the one in Milan.
Then we began an important collaboration with the collective illustrators, graphic designers and artists of Becoming X who starting in the next number will give us the gift of their creativity and who we will present in a long interview with Daniele Pampanelli, mentor and guide, and a shared playlist.
We speak also of architecture, of nighttime trips to museums, of marvelous monasteries and more.
Then there is the story on the cover. Room number 305, a woman and the dreamlike atmostphere of Manuela Kalì, the photographer-writer who we interviewed and who prepared a very cool photographic project for The Mag.
What can I say, happy reading!
Oh, I am getting older, you know that I don't want to.

What is it?
The Mastretta is the first car fully designed and built in Mexico. You could think of it as Mexico's take on the Lotus Elise: composite body, aluminium-bonded chassis and a mid-mounted powertrain.
The car we're driving today is very much a pre-production prototype; it's powered by a Volkswagen TFSI engine, whereas the production cars will have a turbocharged Ford Duratec motor with around 238bhp. The whole car is targeted to weigh 900kg, which puts it right on a par with the Elise.
Lifestyle Cars, which is the European importer, pitches the car in a gap between the Lotus Exige and Noble.
What's it like?
The Mastretta is an interesting looking car, very straight-edged and compact. Looks good in orange, too. Unfortunately this pre-production car is a million miles away from being ready for sale, and not just because it's fitted with the wrong engine.
The company knows this and provided a list of changes that will be made before the car goes into volume production. It's a long list that contains most of our observations. But not all of them.
The steering is heavy, with none of the feel of an Elise's rack; indeed, it feels like a powered rack that's had its hydraulic pump disconnected.

CONTAINERS - created for Take a Word
I love to create art using containers, i.e. bottles, boxes, etc. Rather than create a digital art piece I thought I would share one of my handmade Victorian 'containers" that I created with fabric and lace. The Roses on the lid are from my garden (dried). The inside is fully lined as well.

For the moment we are just able to check activity data with dashboards.
It would be really useful to have the possibility to download activity properties data as it can be done with contact properties. So we download the information about chatflows, calls and other activities related to customers.
Or at least having a table as it can be done with deals and tickets.
Any option to gather the activity data would be great!

Baking vegan cupcakes
As crazy as it sounds all you need to make them is a box of cake mix and a can of some kind of carbonated drink.
Thankfully many readily available cake mixes are accidentally vegan.
For these chocolate cherry cupcakes, I used Duncan Hines Classic Devil's Food Cake Mix and a can of Polar Black Cherry seltzer.
Simply mix them together, top with a pie cherry, and then bake following the directions on the cake box.
Once they're cool you can frost them or top them with vegan whipped cream.
For more vegan desserts check out Vegan Salted Caramel and Baileys Ice Cream, Vegan Autumn Spice Oatmeal Cookies, and Triple Almond No Bake Cookies.Print

Helping Hands
I got a later start time for Friday's surgery (7AM) and we almost missed it! Figures. I called and they were great. I got to talk with the doctor before he began and he explained everything about Tuesday's surgery and I felt much better about the whole thing...and then I was OUT. Never ceases to amaze me, the whole going under part of things. Thankfully, it did not cause me to have to pull over on the highway this time. It did however, cause me to sleep until one and repeat my stories over and over again (at least, that's what Nelson told me).
All in all it was a much better day, but the surgery going well was not what made the day so much better.
Sometime Thursday afternoon I got a text from a friend who said she was off Friday, "Can I watch the kids for you?" Now this is the sweet girl who married one of our guys and now they are staying in our apartment (attached to our house).
My initial response was to tell her thanks but I've got it covered. Then I thought to myself that Friday was my folk's anniversary and wouldn't it be a sweet gift to mom if she didn't have to wake up at 6 to come over here. Wouldn't it be even better if she got to go to mass first? So I sheepishly knocked on this sweet girl's door (which happens to be in my entry way) and took her up on her offer. Blessed beyond belief is what I felt when finished our conversation. I only met her last year and here she is offering to be there for me and my kids.
On top of that, my mom did come over, on HER anniversary, to take over duties. My mom's generosity and service never cease to amaze me but today they blessed me incredibly. She only woke me to let me say good bye to the kids before they left for the day. I love you mom!
The kids...all 4 of them...were invited by Nelson's sister and her husband to spend the night Friday and they wanted to pick them up when Max got out of school at 1:30. I almost tried to talk them out of taking all of them but the timing of the invitation was just too good for me to pass up. I awoke from the dregs of the anesthesia to kiss them good bye.
I walked back into the kitchen after they left to find a flower and some homemade muffins from one of my neighbors sitting on the counter with a get well card attached. My phone was blinking with numerous texts from friends asking me how it went. My mom even called to check on me.
After that I just relished in how well cared for I was. I felt so loved and I wondered what the difference was this go around. I had two other leg surgeries around the first of the year and I didn't have the same feeling then.
The more I thought about it, the more I came to realize that it was not my friends who had changed, but me. I have been trained and taught by my parents, husband and the circumstances of my life to be very self-sufficient. I am quite capable of taking care of myself and my family all by myself. This is a quality I have too often taken pride in.
The difference this time was not in the amount of offers I received; it was in my willingness to accept them. I love to serve. I love the way I feel when I know I've been able to help someone. However, I am quite unwilling to allow them to do the same for me. I was under the false impression that this would make me weak.
It did quite the opposite. I felt stronger because of their love. I felt encouraged by their willingness to lend a hand. I felt blessed by their prayers and thoughtfulness. It was really quite wonderful.
I want to encourage you to give it a try, especially if you're a "I can do it" kind of person like me. We all have people in our lives who are willing to help us, who in fact would love to help us. Let them. You'll be blessed beyond measure.

Mindfulness and Compassion in Lincolnshire
this breath... this moment... being kind
Mindfulness in Lincolnshire
Mindfulness in Lincolnshire
How does it help?
All we have is the present moment. The past has gone and the future is yet to unfold and yet so often we seem to find it hard to be in the present.
What may stop us?
Often it is because we are in the habits of the mind, without even realising they are habits. Either thinking or worrying about the future, or going over the past.
We may also be carrying that inner voice with us that constantly criticises and judges what we do.
As a consequence we lose touch with the present moment and miss many wonderful and helpful things.
We may also be waiting for the challenges of life to be over so we can relax and start to enjoy ourselves.
What we may not realise is that all these ups and downs are life. We may resist what is happening and even dislike it, but this doesn't stop it. This resistance can bring additional stress, strain and tension.
Mindfulness helps us to discover what may block us from being in the present moment. By learning to stay present we have a better chance of noticing what is happening. As a result we may make more effective responses and choices; and as Mindfulness is helping us to be more present it can enhance whatever we choose to do.
As we pay more attention, even to the things we don't like. Mindfulness encourages us to be with what is happening, exactly as it is. It can help with both the problem and any resistance to it and so reduce much of the additional strain.
Another way Mindfulness helps is because it can help us to be more in the present moment and less on "automatic pilot".
Often we may be "miles away" without knowing it. For example when we are in a car, we can jump in and reach our destination without really being aware of how we got there. We may know this as being on "automatic pilot.
If we continue in this way we are more likely develop habits of behaviour that we get stuck in, and might not even like. Mindfulness teaches us to develop a wider awareness so that we can see more clearly the patterns of our minds that may get us stuck in our pain. These patterns could brooding and rumination on the one hand or avoidance and suppression on the other. These patterns often seem to come "out of nowhere".
By becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings and body sensations, from moment to moment, we no longer have to go into the same old "habits of thought" that may have caused problems in the past. As a result we may give ourselves the possibility of greater freedom and choice and to find alternative more helpful ways of coping.
We live in a world that seems busy and full of things to do. We might ask what's wrong with that? What's wrong with how busy life can be?
There may be nothing right or wrong with this but many people do report increases in stress levels, emotional problems and physical health problems. So in practical ways we may be increasingly interested in how we can steady our focus of attention and find ways to feel we are coping with everyday life.
We may also notice that our attention and focus may often be scattered. We may be doing one thing and thinking about the next thing or even thinking of many other things all at once. Although there can be a place for this, Mindfulness can offer an alternate way of being with what we are doing and so improve our focus and attention.

METHYLPHENIDATE (Ritalin) Urine Cassette Test
Tests for Methylphenidate (Ritalin) 300 ng/ml
The Single Urine Cassette Test is an economical, fast and accurate way of testing for one drug at a time. The product is easy to use and results can be read at 5 minutes
Methylphenidate is most commonly known by the Novartis trademark name Ritalin, which is an instant-release racemic mixture. There are also a variety of formulations and generic brand names exist. Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant drug for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and narcolepsy. It may also be prescribed for off-label use in treatment-resistant cases of lethargy, depression, neutral insult, obesity, and rarely other psychiatric disorders such as Obessive-Compulsive Disorder. Methylphenidate like other stimulatnts increases dopamine levels. The abuse potential is increased when methylphenidate is crushed and snored or when it is injected producing effects almost identical to cocaine. Cocaine-like effects can also occur with very large doses taken orally. Methylphenidate has a high potential for drug dependence and additive abuse due to its similar pharmacologically to cocaine and amphetamines. Internationally, methylphenidate is a Schedule II drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. In the United States, methylphenidate is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, the designation used for substances that have a recognized medical value but present a high likelihood for abuse because of their addictive potential.

Coating is the process of applying an enameled wire on […]
Coating is the process of applying an enameled wire on a metal wire to form a uniform thickness of a given paint layer. This is related to several physical phenomena and painting methods of liquids. When the liquid flows, the molecules collide with each other, causing one layer of molecules to move with the other. Due to the interaction, the latter layer of molecules hinders the movement of the previous layer of molecules and thus shows activity. Sticky, this is called stickiness.
Different paint methods, different enameled wire specifications require different paint viscosities. The size of the viscosity is mainly related to the size of the resin, the molecular weight of the resin is large, the viscosity of the paint is large, and the thick threads used for the coating are better because of the mechanical properties of the paint film. The viscosity of the coating thin line is small, the molecular weight of the resin is small, the coating film is uniform, and the paint film is relatively smooth.
There are molecules around the molecules in the liquid. Gravity between these molecules can reach a temporary balance. The molecular layer on the surface of the liquid is attracted on the one hand by the attraction of the liquid molecules and on the other hand its force is directed to the depth of the liquid.
At the same time, on the other hand, the gas molecules are gravitational, but the gas molecules are smaller and farther away than liquid molecules. Therefore, the molecules on the liquid surface are attracted by the gravity inside the liquid, so that the surface of the liquid shrinks as much as possible to form a bead shape. In the same geometric volume, the spherical surface has the smallest surface area. If the liquid is not affected by other forces, it is always spherical under surface tension. For more information, please contact Xinyu enameled wire and we will show you more details.
