Zachary German is a second-year CIPA fellow and a CIPA admissions ambassador. He is concentrating his studies on Social Policy, with a specific focus on healthcare. You can read his full bio here.
One inspiring aspect to the CIPA curriculum is the diversity of opportunities to gain professional experience. Beyond the internships, externships, and capstone projects offered by the program, there are also many classes that provide an opportunity for consultancies and client interaction. One such class that I am in right now is DEA 6550: Healthcare Innovations.
In this course, each student is assigned to an interdisciplinary team that matches students according to their complementary skills. Then, these teams work together to provide innovative solutions to improve a client's operational function. My team's client this year is New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) in Manhattan, New York.
So far my team and I have been able to travel to the hospital in New York to tour the facilities, meet the staff, and gain perspective on the hospital's daily operations. We also meet with the client weekly –via- teleconference to continue the dialogue on the progress, impact, and outcomes of the project.
The primary focus for our team has been to provide a design plan to create an adaptive, healing environment for NYPH's pediatric intensive care unit. We have placed great emphasis on suppressing environmental stressors, implementing design mediated infection control, and including family involvement in the healthcare process.
This class has provided a consultancy opportunity that has fostered one of the most practical, insightful, and meaningful experiences I have had so far at CIPA.

|Weee! Life is a roller coaster!
I am a health care professional. Providing guidance and support for people in some of their most challenging times is exactly what I love most about my job. But we live in a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps world. I had a subconscious false belief that I didn't (or even shouldn't) need that same level of support lurking around in the corners of my mind. I'm so glad I finally found it, shined a bright light on it, and shooed it away.
I would often recommend supplemental healers and professionals for my patients when I felt that their emotional or energetic health or their relationships were playing a role in their communication challenges. Now that I have experienced the benefits these modalities have had for me in my own life, I can wholeheartedly speak to their value. I'd like to introduce you to my healing team. Here are descriptions of some the modalities I have used recently to heal on all the levels that make up my body/mind/spirit.
Talk therapy or Counseling: I am sooo grateful for my generation's changing opinion of therapy. I hear more and more of my friends seeking and benefiting from individual, couples, and family therapy. It's not just for "crazy people" anymore! Therapy can help us work through big life events, and/or can be used as health maintenance. We don't have to be facing death, divorce, or catastrophe to start to tackle our "stuff."
Heath Coaching: Yes, I have my own health coach! One of the best investments I have made in myself, maybe ever. Health coaches can have different foci depending on their clients' needs and can include nutrition, lifestyle, fitness, career goals, and spirituality. Health coaches can help you 'get in the drivers seat' of your life wherever you feel stuck.
Yoga: My yoga is not just stretches and twisty poses. Although the physical benefits are undeniable, from improved joint and muscle health to the nervous system benefits of yogic breath work, there is a lot more to it. Many yoga instructors encourage their students to bring their yoga off the mat, meaning that the lessons they learn in practice can be so applicable to real life. For example, learning to stay through an intense strength building pose, and not giving up, can teach us to stay present in a challenging moment off the mat too.
Energy Healing: Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing that is gaining more and more attention in western health care. There is controversy in the scientific community regarding how reiki works however I have personally found this modality to be extremely helpful. Here is one article on the scientific support for reiki http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/sciencemeasures.htm
Massage: The ultimate self care practice. Our emotional and spiritual stress can manifest itself in the physical body. Massage with an excellent therapist can be deeply emotionally stirring and healing.

Nearly one year out from a similar launch in North America, Yahoo! Australia and New Zealand has introduced its own local shopping site.
Located at http://shopping.yahoo.com.au, Yahoo! Shopping Australia and New Zealand offers customers the ability to shop at several different retailers from the one Web site.
Tony Faure, general manager of Yahoo! Australia and New Zealand said close to 25 retailers had partnered with Yahoo! to offer more than 30,000 different products online. Faure said he expects over 30 retailers to be onboard by Christmas.
While some retailers have already established an online presence, others, including Just Jeans and the Body Shop, are creating an online brand through the Yahoo! portal, Faure said.
Retailers partnering with Yahoo! include Just Jeans, the Body Shop, Oxford Shop, Angus & Robertson, Dymocks, Dick Smith, Tandy, Strathfield Car Radios, Folkways Music, E*Store, Roses Only, Shop On and Dinosaur Designs. Others expecting to join in coming weeks include ABC Shop, Theo's Chandlers and the Sock Shop.
"We are facilitating the transaction, Yahoo! is not a retailer," Faure said.
According to Faure, merchants appearing on the Yahoo! site will be charged a hosting fee and will have to share a percentage of each successful transaction with Yahoo!
Faure said it was "likely" Yahoo! would offer special discounts and offers for customers choosing to buy from the Yahoo! site rather than direct from the merchant, but offers will be on a merchant by merchant case.
The main attractions for customers to the shopping site will be the convenience of multiple brands and multiple products, and the single checkout and purchase process, he said.

Doing Your Own Taxes? Make Sure You Follow These 15 TipsFiling taxes is easier if you keep a few important things in mind.
Tax season is underway, and millions are hoping for a refund or, at the very least, to minimize what they owe. Whether you plan on filing your taxes early or procrastinating until the last minute, knowing a few basics can help put more money in your pocket.
Here are 15 tax tips you need to know before filing your taxes:
1. Find Out If You Need to File
If you need help determining whether you're required to file a federal income tax return this year, use the IRS' online Interactive Tax Assistant. You need to answer a few basic questions about your filing status, gross income and whether you had federal income tax withheld, and then the IRS tool can help.
2. Gather Social Security Numbers
To prepare any tax return, you will need your Social Security number, the nine-digit piece of information that follows you throughout life.
"Make sure you have the Social Security numbers for yourself, spouse and all dependents," said Kay Bell, tax journalist for the blog Don't Mess With Taxes. She added that to claim some credits — such as the child and dependent care credit — you'll need to provide a Social Security number or other ID numbers.
3. Determine Your Filing Status
Your filing status is based on what your marital status was on the last day of the tax year, and it applies to all of the 2018 tax year. There are five possibilities:
- Single
- Married filing jointly
- Married filing separately
- Head of household
- Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child
If you legitimately fit into more than one category, pick the one that requires you to pay the least amount of taxes.
4. Review Your Previous Returns
Pull out your federal and state tax returns from the previous year. The information will help you start your 2018 tax return because some of your entries will be the same. Other entries will prompt you for missing information or forms you need to collect.
Also, you might need to make changes if you had important life events in 2018, such as getting married or divorced, having a child, going to school or changing jobs.
Important: Tax Year Dates You Need to Know
5. Gather Your Documents
For income information, you'll need the forms you received from employers and banks, which might include some of the following:
- Form W-2 (wages)
- 1099-INT (interest)
- 1099-DIV (dividends)
- 1099-B (investment sales)
- 1099-MISC (independent contractor work, royalties)
- 1099-R (retirement distributions)
- K-1 (MLP, partnership or S-Corp share of income)
- SSA-1099 (Social Security benefits)
- 1099-G (unemployment benefits and state tax refunds)
- W-2G (gambling winnings)
- 1099-C (forgiven debt)
Next, if you had any adjustments to income, you might need any of the following forms:
- 1098-E (student loan interest)
- 5498 (IRA contributions)
- 5498-SA (HSA/MSA contributions)
- 1098-T (tuition)
Finally, if you itemize your deductions or receive tax credits, you might need forms such as:
- 1098 (mortgage interest)
- 1099-LTC (long-term care benefits)
- 1099-SA (HSA/MSA distribution)
- 1095-A (insurance marketplace statement)
- 1095-B (health coverage)
- 1095-C (employer-provided insurance coverage)
You'll also need any personal receipts for expenses such as charitable contributions, unreimbursed employer business expenses, medical expenses, and moving expenses.
6. Know Which Deduction to Take
If you're not sure if you should itemize your deductions, there's a relatively simple way to determine the best choice for your situation. "If you have enough itemized deductions to exceed the standard deduction, itemize. If you don't, take the standard deduction," said accountant Eric J. Nisall, founder of AccountLancer, which offers accounting help for freelancers. "If you're not sure, put everything in and let your tax program of choice tell you what to do."
If you don't itemize, you're in the majority. Just around 30 percent of taxpayers itemize their deductions.
More Details: Here's Every Single Tax Deduction You Could Possibly Ask For
7. Know the Deadline to File
Usually, your income tax return has to be postmarked on April 15. But for the 2018 tax year, residents in Maine and Massachusetts have until April 17 to file because Patriot's Day and Emancipation Day are holidays in each state.
8. File Your Federal Tax Return for Free
Free tax filing is available to taxpayers who meet certain requirements — the IRS offers Free File where you can file your federal taxes without paying any fees. The version you can use depends on the amount of your adjusted gross income.
If it's below $66,000, you can use the available free filing software.
9. Deduct Your Medical Expenses
If you itemize deductions, you might be able to deduct specific medical expenses for the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment and disease prevention. These costs include payments you made in 2018 for medical services provided by physicians, surgeons, dentists and other medical practitioners. The costs also include spending on equipment, supplies and diagnostic devices. In addition, you might be able to deduct:
- Health insurance premiums for coverage not provided by an employer
- Travel costs
- Long-term care insurance premiums and long-term care services
However, there is a threshold you must meet before you can deduct such expenses. For 2018, you can deduct qualified medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income on Schedule A (Form 1040).
10. Deduct Travel for Medical Treatment
If you drove in 2018 to get to a hospital, doctor's office or dentist's office for the purpose of medical treatment, the cost of getting to and from the facility or office is deductible at 2 cents per mile.
11. Deduct Your Mortgage Interest
If you paid interest on a mortgage, the interest amount might be deductible if you itemize deductions. You might also be able to deduct interest on a second mortgage or a home equity line of credit. Make sure you get Form 1098, a mortgage interest statement, from your lender if you paid $600 or more in mortgage interest.
12. Properly Deduct Charitable Donations
If you want to claim a deduction for charitable contributions, you must itemize your deductions, said Nisall. "Any single cash donation over $250 or non-cash donation in excess of $500 should have a receipt in your records — and it would be ideal to have a receipt for any donation," he added.
However, not all donations are deductible. For example, you can't deduct the entire amount of your donation if you received a benefit like a fancy dinner at a fundraiser. You have to subtract the fair market value of the meal from the amount of your donation.
Read: How to Know If You Can Really Write Off That Donation
13. Gather Health Insurance Tax Documents
You might receive a Form 1095-A, Form 1095-B or Form 1095-C for the medical care coverage that you had or that was offered to you. This is yet another important document to keep track of for tax-filing purposes.
"You and each member of your family must have qualifying health insurance coverage for each month of the year, or qualify for an exemption from the coverage requirement — or make an individual shared responsibility payment when you file," said Bell. "Filers who get coverage from the marketplace will need the Affordable Care Act 1095 forms to make sure they file properly. If you have coverage through your workplace, you'll simply check a box on the return."
14. Find Out If You Qualify for EITC
If you worked in 2018 but had low to moderate income, you might qualify for the earned income tax credit. You don't need to itemize your deductions to receive this tax break because a tax credit reduces the amount of tax you have to pay. You might even get a refund. The requirements are strict, so the IRS provides an online EITC Assistant to help you figure out if you qualify for this benefit.
15. Report Your Unemployment Income
If you weren't employed in 2018, you might think that you don't owe any income taxes. However, if you received unemployment compensation, you have to declare it and pay any taxes you owe. So, don't ignore that 1099-G you got. "The Internal Revenue Service got a copy, too," said Bell.

Oranges growing near the Shrine of Baha'u'llah, Akka, Israel, 2006
The Ridvan (meaning Paradise) Festival, the most sacred 12 Days in the Baha'i calendar is fast approaching. It marks the period in 1863 when Baha'u'llah publically proclaimed His Station as the latest Manifestation of God Whose Mission was to unite the human race in a global civilization of peace and justice. As always it is a wonderful time to ponder the meaning of this special period. Christian thinkers have long practiced the art of pondering the theological significance of the Word of God, both as scripture and as embodied in the life of Christ, the Apostles and the Hebrew Prophets who came before them. From time to time I've tried to practice this art relative to the Central Figures of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah, The Bab and Abdu'l-Baha. This piece of writing represents another such effort. The question that I'm pondering is, "What does Ridvan mean to me?" My approach to the question begins with my often stated view that any religion worth discussion must deal squarely with the question of power, who has it, who doesn't and how to distribute it more equitably. I believe that one meaning of Ridvan is that it represents the intervention of God in history for the purpose of transforming relationships of power and powerlessness, privilege and deprivation. Baha'u'llah's own testimony implies that this is the heart of His Mission:
"The Ancient Beauty hath consented to be bound with chains that mankind may be released from its bondage, and hath accepted to be made a prisoner within this most mighty Stronghold that the whole world may attain unto true liberty. He hath drained to its dregs the cup of sorrow, that all the peoples of the earth may attain unto abiding joy, and be filled with gladness. This is of the mercy of your Lord, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful. We have accepted to be abased, O believers in the Unity of God, that ye may be exalted, and have suffered manifold afflictions, that ye might prosper and flourish. He Who hath come to build anew the whole world, behold, how they that have joined partners with God have forced Him to dwell within the most desolate of cities!"
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 99)
While the Revelation of Baha'u'llah is strictly non-partisan and supra-national in nature, its implications are political in the sense that it is ultimately about the radical redistribution of power from its concentration in the hands of the few to the masses of humanity who must participate as equals in the creation of a global society. Such a radical redistribution of power is truly the last becoming first and the first last, a resurrection of human nobility and possibility, long buried beneath an unjust social order:
"Arise, and proclaim unto the entire creation the tidings that He Who is the All-Merciful hath directed His steps towards the Ridvan and entered it. Guide, then, the people unto the garden of delight which God hath made the Throne of His Paradise. We have chosen thee to be our most mighty Trumpet, whose blast is to signalize the resurrection of all mankind."
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 31)
This is what Ridvan means to me.

Goldenrod Corporation is a privately-owned company established by Al Pretto in 1986 to represent and support the efforts of Svecom P.E. in North America. Svecom (Italy) is the largest manufacturer of Air Shafts and Core Holding Equipment in Europe and the originator of the now-popular Multiple External Bladder shaft design and the Roll-Centering feature.
Originally just an office and a storage area, Goldenrod capitalized on Svecom's engineering excellence and 50 years of experience by introducing the Multiple External Bladder design to North America. The design helped achieve results for our customers that other shaft designs could not match, and we've earned an increasing number of loyal customers as a result. By 1993, the demand for our products required that the company move to a 10,000 sq/ft manufacturing plant in Prospect, CT.
Goldenrod engineered many new and improved designs over the next 10 years, and developed a well-earned reputation for solving customer problems. Patents were issued for our industry-leading Differential shafts and high-speed Carbon Pultrusion shafts. The company expanded its presence by introducing complete lines of ergonomic Ultralight and Lightweight shafts. Goldenrod/Svecom is also the only company in our market to manufacture our own Safety Chucks.
By October 2003, Goldenrod had again outgrown its location and moved into a newly built 30,000 sq/ft manufacturing facility in Beacon Falls, CT. New machines, more people, and greater capacity have improved the efficiencies, service, and lead times. We look forward to a significant new phase in our growth.
Goldenrod and Svecom are the single largest manufacturer of winding shafts and chucks in the business, making us a truly global company able to service the needs of our customers, anywhere in the world.

Mount Everest is the highest peaks of planet- Earth. Mount Everest is situated in Himalayas of Nepal and the height of Mount Everest is 8848 meter from the sea level. The height of Mount Everest was measured 8848 meter (29029 feet) from the sea level in 1953. Even since then it has been recorded as the highest peak on earth-planet which is located in Nepal.
But scientists revealed that Mount Everest is still increasing 2 inches a year. Increasing height about 2 inches a year is not very much in human terms, but imagine how much that would be over millions of years!Professor Brad Washburn of the Boston Museum of Science, the world's foremost mountain cartographer, and his team have calculated that earth's highest elevation is actually 7 feet higher than the previous record. That makes the official height 29,035 ft/8850m. Using a radar device to the top of Everest where it could be positioned to measure the actual height of the mountain – underneath all that snow. GPS technology was also deployed near the summit, which uses satellite signal relays to take readings from the top of Everest. After months of crunching numbers Washburn's team arrived at the new, official world-record elevation.
The new recorded height of Mount Everest is 8850 metres, or 29035 feet. That is an increase of about two meters – or seven feet – on the altitude, which was set by Indian geologists and which has been recognized officially for 45 years. That height had been fixed at 29028 feet in 1953 when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made the famous first ascent of Everest.

Canvas3D XUL Runner App
Create XUL Runner App for Canvas 3D JS Library
The Canvas3D extension for Firefox can render animated and interactive 3d scenes in the browser. However, it requires a deep understanding of OpenGL, which can get rather complex.
The Canvas3D library is an environment created in JavaScript. It simplifies the process of using the extension and reduces the learning curve of working with 3d objects.
Installing the Canvas3D library has been a logistical nightmare. This project aims to create a XUL Runner application packaged with the Canvas3D extension and library, which will be easy to download/run and can update itself as the project progresses.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Investcorp, the international alternative asset manager, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell North America's largest distributor of truck and trailer parts, FleetPride, to TPG. Investcorp, along with its minority partner Ridgemont Equity Partners, acquired FleetPride in 2006.
FleetPride was established in 1999 as a result of the merger of Quality Distribution Service Partners and HDA Parts System, Inc. Since then, FleetPride has grown to become an active participant in the $22 billion U.S. truck and trailer part aftermarket, and is now the largest truck and trailer parts distributor in North America with a presence in key commercial and economic hubs throughout the U.S.
Under Investcorp's ownership, FleetPride's branch count has increased by 93 new branches to a total of 248 branches nationwide. During that same period, Investcorp has supported 31 different FleetPride add-on acquisitions, strengthening the company's cross-country supply chain, with total acquired sales of more than $270 million. With nearly 3,000 employees, FleetPride now boasts an expansive geographic footprint in the U.S. with operations in 45 states.
Steve Puccinelli, Managing Director at Investcorp and Head of Corporate Investment for North America and Europe said: "When Investcorp acquired FleetPride in 2006 we were keenly aware of the company's growth potential. In partnership with management, we were able to execute our strategic plan to grow the company organically, consolidate the industry through accretive acquisitions, as well as streamline operations to enhance FleetPride's economies of scale in spite of the 2008 global recession. This exit is a testament to the efforts of the Corporate Investment team at Investcorp, and reflects the value we strive to deliver for our investors and each of our portfolio companies alike."
Mr. Puccinelli went on to say: "It has been a pleasure to support and work alongside FleetPride's management over the past six years, and I congratulate them on having grown the company so successfully."
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi and J.P. Morgan co-advised on the transaction.

Reviews (4.6 out of 5 Grommets)
Does the trick
I use it as a card holder and enjoy changing my greeting cards as they show up.
Bought for daughter and granddaughters. They love them!
At first I ordered these as replacements for my fridge magnets, until I really saw how they work. I've got a whole new use for them - and many others. Can't wait to order more!
Giving this to our teenage granddaughter for her birthday, but had to check it out first. Love it. Love the style and the sparkle, and nice to have the flexibility to change the pictures as needed.
I use it to hang the kids art work on and those tiny magnets really do work. Great for displaying pictures and work!
These are great! This is a repeat order. I purchase them for my Mom, who resides in a nursing home. She has one Cori strip to hang things from, and these allow her to see plenty of pictures and cards decorating her wall. Would be just as perfect for dorms, rental property, it to display any revolving picture menagerie. I highly recommend them! Good, strong hold!
The Photo Cable is easy to use, attractive, and very handy if you have a tall narrow space. First I ordered just one, then ordered more to use as gifts. If preferred, you can use it horizontally easily by also attaching the "ball" end, as well as the loop, to the wall.
CAUTION--don't use this where babies or small children can easily reach the magnets.
Gave it as a gift to my sister and it really cleans up the clutter and she can change the photos whenever she wants. Less clutter!
I wish I actually got to use them. As soon as they were out of the box my sons snagged them for their rooms. The magnets are strong enough to hold postcards, drawings, and even a few sheets of homework. So much nicer to look at than tape, and gentler on the walls. Sliding the magnets around is pretty entertaining all on its own, too.
Now I need to order more for myself.
The Mishu Story
Picture this
Each photo cable includes nine decorative, little magnets. What these magnets lack in size, they more than make up for in style and strength. Each rare earth magnet can hold up to five sheets of paper. Choose the magnet that best suits your decor and use it for everything from pictures to ticket stubs and other memorabilia.
The founder of Mishu, Kasia Davis, originally came up with the idea when she was in college. Years later, she and her husband, Andy, made the concept a reality, eventually turning the company over to longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Joey Gilbert. Photo cables are a great addition to any dorm room, teenage bedroom, kitchen, or office. From snapshots of friends and family to kids' artwork, baby announcements, wedding invitations, and holiday cards, Mishu Photo Cables are a simple, inventive way for people of all ages to put life's greatest moments on display.

Increasing my productivity - tools and techniques for better computer usage
06 July 2014
I spend a lot of time in front of a computer and have been getting frustrated at my lack of speed when navigating and typing. I started improving things a couple of months ago and thought it would be useful to write about the key changes I've made.
Keyboard shortcuts
For some reason I never bothered with keyboard shortcuts. Copy and paste were the only ones in my muscle memory. Here are some shortcuts I now use regularly:
cmd + tabswitch apps
cmd + backtickswitch to a different instance of the same app
cmd + qquit current app
cmd + wclose current window
cmd + option + hclose all windows except the current one
Browser shortcuts
cmd + lgives focus to url bar
cmd + tto open a new tab in
ctrl + tabselect next tab
ctrl + shift + tabselect previous tab
cmd + wclose current tab
Some of my most useful shortcuts are provided by apps. I use:
- SizeUp, which provides keyboard shortcuts for window management.
- Alfred, a highly customisable replacement for Spotlight. I use it for loading and switching apps, quick calculations, checking the weather and the odd google search. I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what Alfred can do.
- Dash, a snippet manager and documentation browser which helps me avoid the black hole that is stackoverflow.
Touch typing
Learning to type properly takes your eyes off of the keyboard and on to the screen. I started with tutorials and tests on Ratatype and Typist for Mac.
Within a few weeks I reached a decent speed, but then started feeling pain in my hands and wrists. I took a break for a while, improved my posture and even bought an ergonomic keyboard, but the pain persisted.
Dvorak keyboard layout
After a bit of research I discovered touch typing with Qwerty can cause hand pain. Qwerty was originally designed to keep typewriter keys from jamming—by spreading commonly used letters far apart. This was good for typewriters but not so good for hands.
I eventually decided to learn Programmer Dvorak. The Dvorak layout places the most common English characters on the home row, reducing the stress on hands.
Learning a new layout is frustrating—especially when you go cold turkey. The first week was a write-off in terms of productivity. I've been learning for four weeks now and can type at a bearable speed of ~30 words per minute. I doubt Dvorak is faster than Qwerty but it is certainly more comfortable. The pain in my hands has gone now too.

- Dvorak keyboard users – an interesting collection of Dvorak users' experiences.

The command line
Having played with Linux a fair bit I have seen many arguments for using the command line over a graphical user interface. The main argument is that you can get things done faster with commands.
In a GUI you have to use the mouse, find the right icon, figure out how to use a menu, and deal with inconsistent designs. These annoyances aren't always noticeable but the cumulative effect is wasted time.
I decided to get into to the command line by ditching my GUI development tools. I have replaced CodeKit with Gulp, which compiles and minifies my Sass, and refreshes the browser with live-reload. Sublime Text has been replaced with Vim.
I have found CLI tools to be cheaper (free), more flexible and more regularly updated than GUI alternatives. I can now share my setup across computers by sticking my dotfiles on Github. I no longer have to worry about license fees and Mac-only software.
- Treehouse have a good article on command line basics on their blog and a more in depth course which I recommend.
- Dan Benjamin had a great video tutorial called Meet the Command Line which no longer appears to exist. Andy Taylor did a great job of summarising it in his post UNIX Command Line Usage Notes.
Vim text editor
If you write code for a living, learning your text editor well is a good idea. I used the excellent Sublime Text 2 for a while before switching to Vim.
Vim is a text editor driven completely by keyboard commands (known as key bindings). It allows you to manipulate text with commands. Once you learn basic commands you can start combining them:
G20 is go to line 20 and
d2w is delete two words. The best article I have read on this is Learn to speak vim – verbs, nouns, and modifiers! by Yan Pritzker.
Learning Vim initially slowed me down, but it has been worth the sacrifice. It reminds me of the classic article Teach yourself programming in Ten Years. The web industry is often distracted by the new and shiny—but I'm excited to be using a text editor older than myself, which was developed on this terminal.
- Getting started with Vim
- Learn Vim progressively
- Vim Tutorials
- Everyone who tried to convince me to use Vim was wrong
- Vimcasts
- Vim Adventures - a game which teaches you Vim commands.
- Vim London talks
- How to learn Vim
- Common Vim commands
- Vim reference card
Markdown is a wonderfully simple syntax which allows documents to be written plain text, and then converted to html. I avoided learning it for a long time, thinking it would be difficult to pick up. I needed to learn it after switching my blog to Jekyll and was surprised that the main syntax took around 10 minutes to memorise. I can now write posts on any device and publish via Git. If you know html or write frequently you'll love Markdown.
The future
It has been fun learning some new tricks, it feels a bit like playing a video game. The challenge has made my work even more enjoyable (aside from that first week of Dvorak typing). I don't feel particularly fast at anything at the moment but I am improving every day. I'm especially looking forward to typing and editing text at the speed of thought.

Many individuals want to know more about the subject of chiropractic care, but have no idea where to start. Thankfully, this article was written so you can learn these kinds of things. Keep reading if you want more knowledge on this topic.
More and more medical doctors are working in conjunction with alternative providers today. That is why it's crucial that you find out whether your insurance covers chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, and the like. They are great additions to more traditional medical care.
To improve your back, think about how you sleep. Carefully place a pillow behind your shoulders and head. Place rolled-up towels underneath your neck and knees to keep your body's main three curves stabilized. Make sure your mattress is comfortable.
Be sure to arise properly in the morning. Before getting up, stretch and raise up slowly. Swing legs to the floor with your arms serving as supports. This technique will help reduce the risk of injury.
There are lots of solid reasons you may want to visit a chiropractor. If you have problems with your neck or your back every day you need to get chiropractic care soon. Regular chiropractic care can also be a great prevention strategy for back and spine issues. If you keep your bones aligned, your body will feel better.
Always take the time to research references for a chiropractor before stepping into their offices. Although most chiropractors are honest, some just want to extend treatments so you can pay more fees. Seek out information from customer reviews and see what other doctors have to say.
With an investment of time and effort, you can be rid of pain. The main thing to do is to put in hard work so things work out for you. At the end of the day, you should feel better by using the information in this article.

Striking a balance between elegance and whimsy isn't particularly easy, and may not always work, but this newly married couple did a perfect job of marrying these two opposing design styles–especially in their floral arrangements! Opting for classic wedding staples like Roses and Hydrangeas, and pairing them with boldly-hued Ranunculus and wild, free-form Eucalyptus, strikes the perfect balance.
Here's what the couple ordered to create these lush winter arrangements: White Blush Garden Roses (72 stems), Seeded Eucalyptus Garlands (four of our 25 ft. garlands), Bridal Blush Ranunculus (100 stems), and a Mixed Eucalyptus Wedding Greenery Box (the large pack), and they supplemented these products with some locally sourced Hydrangeas and red Roses.
Scroll on for some beautiful shots of the event from Esteban Gil Photography, an except from the event planner, and their full vendor list!
From the event planner, Double G Events: "One word describes this couple – FUN! Working with Katie + Kevin … there were definitely no dull moments, especially with Kevin's comedic relief and out of the box ideas (sorry you didn't get your ten foot champagne tower, Kevin)! Their first date was at the delicious RIOA Restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut, where they have become quite the regulars earning them the nickname "K-Squared" from the ROIA staff. So they decided where better than to have their black tie, cocktail style wedding reception, amIrigggght? And cocktail PARTY it was! They threw all the "wedding rules" out the door and opted for no assigned seating and no plated-coursed meals, just a crazy amount of passed appetizers, killer food stations, dancing, booze and an awesome candy bar!"

By Susan Halas
As a Wailuku resident for more than 30 years and a property owner for going on 15, I'm always surprised how much I like the area and continuously dismayed that such a charming town is treated as such a step-child by local officials for decades on end.
Wailuku has the nicest people, the best weather, the most creative zoning and a wide variety of bold face name citizens all crammed into a small area. Within a few square blocks you'll find bold face names like property developer Everett Dowling, attorney Phil Lowenthal, pawn shop mavin Richard Dan, Patrick Wong (currently the corporation counsel for the county of Maui) and his wife Cynthia, a law partner with James Krueger. And speaking of Krueger, the waiting room of this formidable attorney is papered with checks of awards he's won for his clients.
There's also Jon Starr, who owns a wide swath of Main Street, and his wife Helen Nielsen, the Maui rep for U.S. Senator Brian Schatz. Also in the high powered Mr. & Mrs. Category are Terisita and John Noble. She runs Noble Travel, he's an artist and critic of the present regime. Then there's consummate political insider Anthony Takitani (one of his partners is State Senator Gil Keith-Agaran) and Saedene Ota, an award-winning graphic designer, owner of Maui Thing and until recently the Maui appointee to the UH Board of Regents. Add to these a long list of lawyers, doctors, accountants, bankers, judiciary employees as well hundreds if not thousands of state and county workers, including the island's most famous and vigilant traffic enforcement officer Keith Taguma of the Maui Police Department.
Yet all the public plans to revitalize Wailuku, and all the money spent in that pursuit, has yet to result in significant material improvements. Au contraire, the most notable accomplishment of the city fathers seems to be their ability to ignore seemingly forever the deteriorating pavement of the public lot, and similar pervasive decay. Though their talking points endlessly tout the benefits of "walkability," in reality the town is filled with woefully cracked and broken sidewalks combined with blocks where sidewalks are entirely lacking and pedestrians share the street with cars.
Notwithstanding public meetings, good intentions and dollars spent on "planning," "studies" and imported "experts and consultants," little seems to have been accomplished other than to hang a few banners, host a monthly street party and devise a baroque new parking ordinance that–when ultimately unveiled–is sure to bring yet another round of groans.
But though the public sector may be neglecting Maui's most charming and historic town, private enterprise is little by little reviving its life and vitality, especially in the heart of town. If you haven't been to Wailuku recently it's time to take a walk around the core blocks bounded by Central Avenue, Main Street, Market Street and Vineyard Street.
These days in Wailuku you can now be fitted for and buy custom lingerie and ladies undergarments, browse among a selection of imported teas, art supplies and high end pens and writing instruments, enjoy freshly made malasadas, view a nice selection of children's books, get a very good massage, practice yoga, enjoy a variety of natural foods including a popular acai bowl and other healthful (but not cheap) treats and find a growing number of boutiques featuring interesting and nicely selected clothing and accessories for women (See "Around Town" for a list of fairly recent arrivals as well as veteran Wailuku emporiums).
Not only is there new life in the old town, some of its better established shops and venues are still going strong. These include: Native Intelligence, a shop featuring authentic contemporary Hawaiiana and specialized leis, and Requests Music, Maui's best place to shop for used CDs, DVDs, LPs, and sound of all kinds. Also still doing a brisk business is Wailuku Coffee Co., not to mention the ongoing classes and shows of not one but two live theaters, (Maui Academy of Performing Arts and the Iao Theater, the home of Maui On Stage.)
In short, despite an iffy economy, Wailuku seems to be staging a comeback.
In its most optimistic incarnation, Wailuku is trying hard to be a university town. Since the upgrade of Maui Community College to UH Maui College Wailuku has assumed a few (a very few) of the features of a hip place to visit, albeit in a very small area, and only during daylight hours. But truthfully, to find the good in Wailuku you don't need to look far.
Conversely, the bad is right in your face, too. The restaurant on the ground floor of the building next door to the Iao Theater is vacant yet again. If memory serves, this was the same building which was upgraded at the public expense but has yet to perform as hoped.
Yes, Wailuku is still a town where the grass grows in the street and is waist high in the vacant lots. For every shop, business or home that has made recent improvements like the Four Sisters Bakery on Vineyard, there are blatant codes violations that will never be enforced and an utter absence of safe walkways. Children, adults, dogs and chickens proceed at their own risk.
And speaking of chickens, it was only a few weeks ago that a Swiss tourist stood in the middle of Vineyard Street videotaping a flock of our ever so quaint and rapidly expanding free roaming fowl population. Welcome to Wailuku, where roosters, hens and multiple generations of chicks abound along with a drifting population of homeless, vagrants and street people.
With the election over, we can only hope that the winners will decide to actually find the time and more importantly the will to make the needed improvements to the parking lot, quit trying to draw pie-in-the-sky plans for a utopian village and actually do the maintenance to retain and upgrade what already exists. Wailuku is a wonderful town and it's trying so hard to prosper. It would be nice if the county fathers and mothers in their comfy High Street offices would lend a hand.
As for the ugly, rather than harp on the number and kind of dwellings and structures badly in need of a coat of paint, a yard trim, or trash run, it would be wonderful if the public funds spent on a monthly party would be diverted or expanded to fix-up and clean-up drives. Paint is cheap and it makes a big difference.
Is it too much to hope that other members of the MPD would get out of their patrol cars and actually take to bikes or patrol on foot as they do so admirably in others parts of the island?
And finally, as much as pawnbrokers are a major employer in Wailuku, do we really need the flags that say CASH FOR GOLD, PAWN, or the huge permanently parked truck with a giant sign advertising LOANS in lurid colors?
Wailuku is trying to stage a comeback, and finally it seems at least some of the indicators are pointing up. It would be wonderful if the voices of the people who live, work and actually own property in the town could be heard. While the Maui Redevelopment Agency (MRA) set up in 2000 was supposed to hasten the upgrade in theory, in reality that hasn't been the case. While the MRA might have been a positive step in the past, now almost 15 years later there has been little to show for its existence, and in some ways it has created yet another layer of bureaucracy.
It's not my intention to speak ill of the many Maui residents who have voluntarily given of their time and services to this unpaid post, only to point out that the real recent accomplishments in Wailuku Town have come from not from the MRA and the county planner. The progress comes instead from elbow grease and energy of private citizens who have been willing to invest in Wailuku.

Soft contact lenses are a wonderful thing to have in this day and age. When contacts first came out, they were hard, uncomfortable, expensive, and difficult to take care of. Advances in eye wear technology have brought contact lenses a long way.
There are now brands that offer lenses in a wide array of colours. There are lenses available for those with astigmatism, and there are even contacts with bifocals for those who need them to read.
No matter what kind of contact lenses you might wear, there are a few things you need to know about how to properly care for them. Doing so will keep you seeing well and protect the health of your eyes.
Article continues below...
How to clean contact lenses properly
There are many cleaning solutions on the market today. Your eye doctor will most likely recommend a certain brand depending on which contacts you wear. It's important to follow the recommendations and directions of your eye care professional. They are trained to know how to prevent eye infections and diseases, which can be easily acquired through the wear of contact lenses.
Most contact lens cleansers are a 'no rub' solution. In the old days, you would need to thoroughly rub your lenses on the palm of your hand, rinse them, and soak them in solution for at least 6 hours overnight. Now, you can pop them into the storage case with some solution and rinse them off thoroughly before putting them on the next day.
Try not to rinse your contact lenses with plain tap water. In a pinch it will do. For instance, you may get a speck of dirt in your eye while out of the house. If you need to remove your contacts in this situation, water will work. However, regular water can harbour bacteria that can cause infection and irritation in your eyes.
How long should contact lenses be worn?
Your eye care professional will let you know the proper length of time to wear your particular brand of contacts. Some are designed for daily use, meaning they are disposed of at the end of the day. Others can last up to a month if they are not worn overnight while sleeping. It is never recommended to wear contact lenses all night as they should spend at least 6 hours a day soaking in cleaning solution to remove protein buildup.
Typically, contact lenses are worn for two weeks at a time. By then, they have lost their ability to retain the proper shape and stay fitted against your eye. In addition, they lose their comfort after so many days of buildup and cleaning. You also need to change out the lenses often so that you don't expose your eyes to certain bacteria. The cleaning solutions may not remove everything from your lenses, and the longer you wear them, the more you put your eyes at risk for disease.
Besides wearing your lenses for the proper length of time, you need to be concerned with just plain wearing them properly. Never wear someone else's lenses, even if they come from an unopened package. Your prescription is unique to you. Also, most lenses now come with a "marker" on them, which when held up to the light will help you determine if your contacts are inside out. Hold your lens up to the light before inserting them to ensure you are putting them in correctly.
Take care of yourself to avoid eye problems
There is more to wearing contacts than taking care of the lenses themselves. It is also very important that you take care of yourself in order to protect your eyes and their health. Eye care professionals can give you tips and ideas on how to maintain proper eye health, but if you are wearing contacts there are a couple basics to know.
If you have worn contacts for some time, you may have noticed that when your eyes are dry it is harder to see. Vision is blurry and the contacts become uncomfortable. Chronic dry eyes is a problem for many people, and ideally you should be wearing glasses instead of contacts. However, if you are having this problem and are wearing contacts, the number one thing to remember is to stay hydrated. Drink more water than usual, especially in the warmer months.
Keeping moisturising drops with you at all times also helps when your eyes get dry. However, if you are dehydrated, those drops will only work for so long. For very chronic cases, some doctors will recommend a daily supplement of flax seed oil or fish oil. A small amount will go a long way in keeping your bodily fluids replenished, including the tears in your eyes. Proper hydration will protect your eye health, protect the life of your contact lenses, and make your vision through them clearer than you imagined.

EKU, Alice Lloyd Announce Partnership to Prepare More Nurses
Administrators at Eastern Kentucky University and Alice Lloyd College have announced a new partnership that will send 10 well-qualified Alice Lloyd students to EKU to study in its highly competitive baccalaureate nursing program.
In this intensive program of study, Alice Lloyd students will earn both a degree in pre-nursing from the College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Eastern.
"We are very excited to partner with Alice Lloyd College for this dual degree," said Dr. Deborah Whitehouse, dean of EKU's College of Health Sciences. "The EKU 21-month specially sequenced baccalaureate nursing program is ideal for this partnership. The agreement allots a certain number of program seats to Alice Lloyd students who meet our requirements. Alice Lloyd will continue to support these students as they complete their degree."
The program will allow students to complete the general portion of their four-year degree at Alice Lloyd before transferring to Eastern to complete the nursing portion of their program. Earlier this year, Alice Lloyd reached a similar agreement with the University of Kentucky College of Nursing, which guarantees admission to two qualified Alice Lloyd pre-nursing graduates each fall.
Alice Lloyd College's decision to launch a pre-nursing program was guided by an increased need for bachelor degree-level nurses in eastern Kentucky. Demographics have indicated a dramatic shift in the rural Appalachian population from a youth-dominated population to an aging population, so the need for healthcare providers in the region – a region from which Alice Lloyd recruits exclusively – is sure to grow.
"I think this is a wonderful opportunity for our students in this area to stay close to home and complete a bachelor-level degree in the field of nursing," said Dr. Claude Crum, Alice Lloyd's academic dean and vice president for academic affairs. "We are delighted to partner with Eastern Kentucky University to make this opportunity available to our students."
Because of the region's current economic struggles and the continuing decline in demand for central Appalachian coal, Appalachia has seen a significant growth in unemployment. In an effort to retain many of Appalachia's brightest and best students, the plan devised by Alice Lloyd and Eastern will provide a high-quality education for young people interested in remaining in the region as healthcare professionals.
"We are delighted to begin welcoming these talented students from Alice Lloyd and our service region onto our campus," Whitehouse said. "Together, Alice Lloyd and EKU can offer a stellar education for these promising Appalachian students. Once this program is launched, we hope to further explore Alice Lloyd's interest in other EKU professional programs that might lead to additional dual degrees or graduate health degrees within our Health Sciences college."

Thousands of Peruvians have protested in the capital Lima against the decision to pardon the jailed former President Alberto Fijimori on health grounds. Riot police fired teargas and tried to prevent the demonstrators from getting into the clinic where Mr. Fijimori is being treated. President Kuczynski has been accused of making a deal with the opposition to release Mr. Fijimori in exchange for his own political survival.
Supporters of Vladimir Putin will meet in Moscow today to begin the formal process of nominating him as their candidate for president in next year's election. Mr. Putin is seeking a fourth term in office. It comes a day after the electoral commission barred the opposition leader Alexei Navalny from standing.
The aid agency Médecins Sans Frontières says the security situation in the Central African Republic is deteriorating with escalating violence hampering its work on a daily basis. MSF says it's having to reduce activities in some places often cutting services to people who have no other access to health care.
A prominent Chinese human rights activist, best known by his social media alias Super Vulgar Butcher, has been jailed for eight years for subversion. Wu Gang, has been held since 2015 when the authorities targeted hundreds of lawyers and activists for arrest or questioning.
Britain's royal navy says there's been an increase in the number of Russian ships travelling through or near the UK's territory or waters over the holiday period. On Christmas Day, a frigate was sent to escort Russian warships through the North Sea as it passed close to UK waters.
The Chinese government says it will tightly control the size of its financial hub Shanghai, limiting the city's population to 25 million people by 2035. The decision forms part of the State Council's development plans for the coastal metropolis, which is already home to 24 million people.

Charter Schools Haven't Broken Into The Preschool Market, Here's Why
Despite steady growth nationally, charter schools have yet to really break into the preschool market.
One major reason: Out-of-sync state charter and pre-K policies, according to a new report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a right-leaning think tank.
The report analyzes the 35 states, plus the District of Columbia, that offer both charter school and state-funded pre-K programs.
In the vast majority of those states, charter schools face significant barriers to developing and running a state pre-K program.
Among them:
- In nine states, charter or pre-K law doesn't allow charter schools to offer preschool;
- In 22 states, pre-K per pupil funding is much lower than what charters receive for K-12 students;
- In 10 states, charter schools can not automatically enroll pre-K students in their kindergarten programs;
- In nine states, it's at the discretion of regular school districts whether they want to share pre-K funds with charter schools—many don't.
Based on those and other factors, the report breaks down how "hospitable" each state is toward charter preschool programs.
The report argues these policies are preventing a powerful synergy between the two types of programs—both often leveraged to help low-income kids get ahead—from being realized.
Bellwether Education Partners' Sara Mead (a noted pre-K expert) and Ashley LiBetti Mitchell wrote the report for the Fordham Institute, with funding from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, the Joyce Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation. Both the Walton and Joyce foundations provide some grant funding for Education Week, but the paper retains full editorial control of its content.
To see a state-by-state analysis of charter pre-K policies as well as recommendations for authorizers and state and federal policymakers, check out the full report here.

If you've logged into your WordPress website recently you'll most likely have seen the announcement that a new modern publishing experience is coming soon, as per the screenshot below.
This is all about the new editor the team at WordPress have been developing, called Gutenberg which is set to replace the editor you'll be familiar with, if you've added content to your website yourself in the last few years (see below for a snapshot).
And there's no doubt, having test-driven the new editor myself, this is a major change to WordPress.
But change is good right?
Well yes and no.
In this short post we'll highlight what Gutenberg is, provide links for you to learn more about it, and to try it out, and tell you what we're doing for our clients.
So what's changing with Gutenberg?
The editor you'll be familiar with will change automatically on the next major release of WordPress, unless you have the Classic Editor plugin installed on your WordPress website.
With Gutenberg, rather than one large area for creating your content, it's all about blocks.
The intention is that these blocks will empower content creators to create the content the want, without additional support from developers. There are many block types including paragraph, heading and quotes to name just three.
The idea is the user selects the blocks appropriate to their content and pieces them together on their page. Whilst blocks are new, you'll be familiar with many of the controls.
The video below, written by one of the core contributors, summarises these changes very nicely in just four minutes.
This has been a huge investment by WordPress, and it's not going away. In fact, it's more than likely just the start.
If you've got more time on your hands, this is the video to watch from WordCamp US, 2017
Why Gutenberg and why now?
You'll have more control over how your content looks. You'll be able to format specific parts of a page much more easily. You'll even be able to create columns – although this is still in Beta at the time of writing this!
Gutenberg has been designed to improve your content creation experience – and in many ways it's a vast improvement. But the flipside is that we're all very familiar with the current editor, and the introduction of Gutenberg, is going to change the way you create content. So whilst it has an incredibly intuitive interface, there is going to be a learning curve for some, especially those who are quite settled in the way they do things.
As I said earlier, I took the new editor for a spin recently, and you are invited to do the same before it's imminent release. You'll find a link to download the Gutenberg plugin on your dashboard – assuming you haven't dismissed it. If you have, here's a link to the Gutenberg plugin.
You may have noticed, on the aforementioned dashboard, that WordPress are giving users the option to install the Classic Editor plugin which will ensure that when Gutenberg is released in 5.0, the editor you are familiar with, doesn't change.
What we're doing for our clients now
Today, outside of the core WordPress team, no one knows when Gutenberg is going to be released.
Being naturally cautious ourselves, we have decided to take the precaution of installing the Classic Editor plugin for all of our clients, be they on an maintenance package.
We're not sure how compatible Gutenberg is going to be with the themes and plugins our clients have installed on their sites, so we felt this would be the safest option.
It's another reason we're recommending our clients migrate their sites to our new recommended host, so they'll have a one-click staging environment where we can test Gutenberg when it's released.
This seems to generally be the advice being shared in the WordPress communities I dip in and out of at the moment.
But whilst I think this is the best course of action, I'm not writing this article today suggested you resist change as if your life depended on it! When Gutenberg is released, I'll be writing to my clients to suggest they try it out for themselves. Our feeling is that whilst you can try it out now, there will be a few more iterations of the plugin before it's release, so your time might be better spent sampling it when WordPress 5.0 arrives.
If you're time-rich and keen to learn more then of course go ahead and try it now. I'd be very interested to hear your feedback, as I'm sure the team that have been working incredibly hard to bring this to the WordPress Community, would be as well.

My friend keeps getting a text message I sent two weeks ago. It's the same text message every single time. Is there anyone to like clear the queue so that the server doesn't keep sending it? I've already deleted all of my messages sent and received from my friend in attempt to solve this problem but it hasn't stopped. Do I need to hard reset my phone if it's a hardware issue?
I work in an area where my phone only gets roaming reception and sometimes the text messages I type cannot be sent. And then when I do get a good enough reception, the text messages finally send successfully after trying like every so often.
How do I fix this annoying problem?
It should be said that I need a solution to the fact that my phone keeps sending the same text message without me doing anything. It's like a broken record that won't stop playing. I'm not asking for help on trying to get a better reception. I just need my phone to stop sending the same text message ON IT'S OWN from two weeks ago to my friend.
If your phone is the culprit doing a factory reset would fix this issue. There may be other, less intrusive, ways to resolve this on some phone models. On android devices, Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Messaging > Clear data. If these things do not fix the problem, it's likely a network problem or your friend's phone.
What type of phone are you using? Are you using an Airave? What kind of phone is your friend using, and what carrier is he with?
I will try this....my Photon is doing this!
I have been experiencing the same issue. My phone keeps sending the same messages over and over. I will turn my off, pull the battery, and turn it back on. That typically solves the issue for about 5 minutes and then it does it again. I saw you had asked the previous person if they were using an Airave. I am, and this problem began once I started using that. I am using an HTV EVO 4G. My messages send to everyone, regardless of their carrier. Can you please help me? I've called Sprint numerous times and they send updates to my phone but it doesn't fix the problem! My friends are getting really annoyed!
It sounds like a problem with Airave devices that we have been working to resolve. Customers have been reporting duplicate text messages when within Airave coverage. We don't have an estimate for when this will be resolved and it may affect incoming as well as outgoing messages. I hope this helps!
Well I have the same issue. One of my friends gat the same message 27 times. Restarting the phone doesn't always seem to work. Since I am on an Airave it is obvious that I can not go without it. Is there anything Sprint does to help? It is frustrating and if these issues keep happening is it maybe a better idea to just cancel my Sprint phone?
I can only speak to what I found to stop this from happening . Just
unplug the airave for a minute or so then plug it back in .
I noticed my phone will give me a error " message not sent "
As soon as I see this I run to pull the plug on the airave . If I do
It fast enough they usually get only 2 repeated messages .
I know if I send to many text messages really fast I will get the
Error message . I hope this helps

Hi Kathy,
I am leading a printmaking workshop in Italy this summer for two weeks. As a long-time CIVA member, I am recruiting from the CIVA memborship. The workshop is a drawing/printmaking and touring workshop to be held at La Romita School of Art near Terni, Italy. La Romita is close to Rome. This will be my second time to host a workshop there. I'd like to invite you to consider it. You may call me in Austin at 512.947.1073 or email me back here on the CIVA site or my email email@example.com. Other helpful links would be the page I created for the workshop:
My facebook page for the workshop:https://www.facebook.com/TheItalianIntensive
La Romita School of Art's website: http://www.laromita.org/
I have enjoyed looking at your work, and think you might like working with Suzi Davidoff and myself. We are using non-toxic printmaking methods and Suzi's drawing methods would be of interest to you I think. We have a few opening left for this small workshop of about 12 people.
One of the real draws of La Romita is the hospitality there, home cooking (3 meals a day) and the touring daily of the hill country towns nearby.
Let me know if you are interested!

Holiday Season Online Sales in 2012 already register a 15.2 Percent growth compared to 2011
Online shopping sites are definitely having a ball this Holiday season as sales are now higher on the e-platform than at any time in the past.
The data from many sources and e-commerce merchants in the US has shown that consumers are now willing to go online and shop more than at any time in the past. That trend is only likely to go up in the coming years as well.
Online sales for the current holiday season, the time between October 29 and December 25, have seen a staggering 15.2 percent increase when compared to the same period in the year before.
The data also showed that the transaction growth Year-on-Year was around 24.3 percent for the same period and that further proves the point that the online platform is a wonderful way to expand businesses into new markets and also ensure that the consumers are never left behind.
Those closely following the online retail industry though seem less than surprised with the numbers and say that thanks to greater number of smartphones and tablets, wider reach of the internet, more trusted online transaction sources, this was a development that was only natural.
Add to this the fact the more and more businesses are willing to step up and make their presence felt in the online arena as cheaper technology and simplicity in managing web portals becomes readily available ind affordable. The amazing support offered by professionals in designing sites and shopping cart software that work seamlessly, catering exactly to the needs of the consumer make the transition easy and the online sales figures should only go up by a greater margin in 2013.
The advent of superlative handheld devices has only hastened the shift towards e-commerce and with potential customers now having a plethora of data at their fingertips to research and choose from, the race seems well and truly on when it comes to capturing a major chunk of the online sales pie.
