The design engineering process requires a comprehensive approach to problem solving—or stated another way, capability enabling or expanding. When clients ask us to help them fix an existing problem or design a solution that will extend capabilities—perhaps allowing them to scale up systems so they can manufacture a new product, connect communication and control systems between existing technologies, or implement IoT solutions that opens them up to new industries or markets—we apply a proven process and principles that guide us and our clients to creative, cost-effective and efficient solutions for products, processes, platforms, systems, and techniques. The comprehensive discussion below offers insight into what you can expect when working with Enginasion. Follow the entire discussion or jump to any section that interests you.

Discovery Phase
With any new project, or for any re-design initiatives, we start with a discovery phase. We meet with your team and discuss the root problem that needs solving. Together, we list possible solutions and create the fastest, least expensive test to determine which technologies can combine to create a solution. We call this "the fastest path to failure." We want to eliminate solution candidates as quickly as possible so the most time is spent on the best-fit solutions.
In practice, we want to create a path for the development of the device, but the initial goal is to find the cheapest, fastest product, and best overall solution that we can test out quickly. That way, we'll know if a path doesn't pan out that we haven't spent too much time or money on it. Indeed, we want this to fail as quickly as possible, so if it won't work, we will know in a timely manner and can move on to more viable options—ultimately creating your unique solution.
Design Engineering—Inspired by Nature
A principle we use for inspiration comes from the natural world; this is called biomimicry. Experience tells us that truly elegant solutions are simple and already found in nature. We all know the source of Velcro, the burrs that stick to our clothes as we walk through the woods in the fall. Nature self-selects, adapts, and sustains itself (when we aren't working against it)—and has been doing so for eons. In the design phase, we ask what solutions might already exist that that could apply to the application at hand. In this vein, we incorporate a "preventative health model" to our designs to avoid complications that can come with not maintaining good systems and upkeep—which also helps accommodate scaling operations.
A pharmaceutical client needed to qualify defective or miscounted tablets. The solution on the table was to use a very high-resolution camera at a long focal length with a big computer to process all this data. Camera lenses take in a wide field of view, amounting to a lot of wasted data to be processed. That's the traditional solution.
In the discovery phase for this project, Enginasion and the client team came up with a different approach. We followed the model of a fly, which has thousands of eyes, each looking at a small area. Only 16 pixels per inch were needed to analyze the line accurately. Enginasion created a system using 40 low-resolution cameras in the tablet qualification line. Each camera being responsible for only one inch of view. This solution of identical, networked, small cameras allowed for a less powerful processor, built in redundancy, and minimal down time.
How to Brainstorm Design Ideas
Getting to solutions like the one above requires a thoughtful approach. Though, it's really less about what you assume to know, and more about what you imagine could be possible. Here's something we've learned: what you "think" you have in front of you as options can be hampered precisely by what you think. You may find out, after uncovering these variables, that the problem you think you have isn't really the problem. To get there, you do need to ask some basic brainstorming questions:
- Is there a real need?
- What is the physical nature of it?
- What does it really have to do? And not do?
- Is it—the existing problem or possible solution—safe?
- Is it worth the investment if the solution already exists; when status quo is simple enough, viable, and available?
- Are there size and weight constraints?
- Are there requirements and/or constraints it must meet for its ability to function to spec?
- What are the constraints holding you back, such that it hasn't been done before? Drill down on these constraints—get specific.
Most engineers know how to solve the kind of problems they are trained to solve, and involve three basic engineering variables when addressing concerns:
- The persons involved/affected
- Their environment
- The task at hand
If you are staffed for typical electrical problems, you probably have very capable electrical engineers. If your production problems are typically mechanical, you are probably staffed with very competent mechanical engineers—all of whom know how to address problems with traditional, sound engineering approaches.
When your problem falls outside of the norm or in between functions, Enginasion is your solution. We are experts in the "impossible." We also look beyond the basics to uncover what may really be going on in an organization and the people involved in the decision making and end-use applications. There are other elements involved with any successful design discovery phase that speak more to the "soft" skills involved when encouraging innovation. All of these variables and considerations are directly related to the interpersonal nature of group dynamics—something as keenly essential to innovation as any engineering credential anyone might bring to the table. We call this the "politics of innovation," which we discuss at length in a related blog.
We consider the following politics of innovation in the discovery phase of design engineering:
- People naturally want to solve the problems they know how to solve. Seek outside the status quo, because what has already been done, and the thought process that governs it, may be exactly why it isn't working anymore.
- As we've mentioned above, truly elegant solutions are simple and already found in nature.
- Respect the fact that every person communicates differently; embrace different communication styles so everyone is free to teach and learn from each other.
- Failure is for learning; take what needs to be learned from it and move on.
- There's nothing like a good mission to spark energy into a team.
- If a "bully" in the room wins, the team loses. A bully, in this scenario, has preconceived notions that rule out the possibilities of multiple solutions.
- Know who you're selling to. Talk to the end user. Be the end user. Design it like your livelihood depends on it.
- Invention is an art form. Remove preconceived notions of what success needs to look like.
- Lead the technology; catching up is just re-inventing what's been discarded.
- Don't fix symptoms, fix problems.
- It's all about the people. Perhaps this should be number 1 on the list, because innovation is driven by people.
By creating an atmosphere that encourages expansive thinking and open discourse, limitation is, well, limited. Finding creative solutions requires opening up to new—think limitless—possibilities.
Principles of Interface Design
The soft skills above cover the "people" aspects of design, but what are the nuts and bolts required of design engineering when working on technical projects, such as embedded systems, industrial controls, and medical device technology? Interestingly, they aren't as technical sounding as you might thing for the specific end-use duty they are applied towards.
The truly easy solutions should feel like you've done—or have to do—nothing to arrive at them. For end-users of a product or service, that is how a good solution should be experienced. The reality for the people creating that ultimate user experience (UX) is anything but simple and easy.
There are a number of principles that design engineers use in the process of designing user interfaces that create elegant, seamless solutions for people—when applied correctly. As always, the ease of function for the end-user is the focus. The list of principles includes a number of elements (which we discuss in more detail in this blog), and guide us as we design the functionality and usability of your application.
- Clarity. This provides predictability for people and guides them on what their next steps should be.
- Flexibility. You need to balance your product's ability to meet the intent and perform well in all situations.
- Familiarity. We are drawn to and feel secure with what we know; even feel smart knowing something without trying. Design should engender this.
- Conserve attention. Uninterrupted attention is a reigning principle in interface design and it can directly affect usability if not done well.
- Control. Keep the user in control by keeping the pathways clear and interactions predictable—and repeatable. Don't worry about stating the obvious … the obvious almost never is.
- Efficiency. Figure out the basics of the users' routine, then design those functions in the most logical, streamlined sequence.
- Consistency. Elements such as hierarchy, basic navigation sequences, color schemes, and grid alignment all contribute to overall consistency for visual and functional appeal.
The key to design for Enginasion is in exploring and creating unique solutions to actual problems. Many of the problems that we help people with are singular to their business. Manufacturing companies look to Enginasion because they need something out of the ordinary. Many engineering groups in various industries rely on us for solutions to challenges that are outside their normal scope.
We generally work with companies when they are facing unusual circumstances. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
- You've invested money and resources implementing a new system just prior to another technology launch that can increase its efficiency and output, but it is not as integrative as it should or could be.
- You need to replace a new technology, but don't have the resources—or budget—to start from scratch.
- You need communication support for two merged divisions—think inventory control systems and production lines transferring real-time data to each other.
The solutions are usually applications with combined technologies. They can include:
- Embedded software
- Electronics
- Mechanics
- Fluidics
- Metrology
- Acquiring data in a unique way for a database
- IoT
Through the application of our software and electrical engineering expertise, we determine the optimum balance of hardware and software based on efficiency and cost to develop the instrument. Sometimes really fast software can replace hardware, and vice versa.
When exploring the situation in front of us, we track the existing steps of the current process. This helps us discover the challenges and opportunities associated with it—many times exposing possibilities that were there all along. This was the case with a solution we provided for the technology associated with a periodontal device.
To begin the design discovery process, we talked with the oral surgeons and found out what their current protocols were, uncovering the existing deficits in their technology. We also asked them what they hoped to achieve with their next technological platform and learned that the existing platform did not provide them with a visual of which tooth they were targeting. This was vital, not only for the obvious reasons, but because it could have a direct safety impact on the gums of the patients.
Providing surgeons with a visual check on their work seemed like an obvious fix—and among other improvements, we incorporated this into the new medical device technology. Speaking with the end-user, in this case the surgeons, was instrumental in providing us the most natural path to follow for our plan of action. Applying the technology to bring it together was what made it a reality. Our graphic artist optimized the surgeons' experience. She developed the interface form, logistics, and color palettes, paying attention to the surgeon's comfort while alternating attention between the patient and the laser controls.

Test Equipment and Technical Instrument Design
Enginasion designs and manufactures test equipment and technical instruments. At the heart of this equipment is a unique combination electronics and software—the control system. The control system pilots the action within the system, guiding the mechanics, fluidics, metrology, and data gathering. Think of a car. The equipment is the car. The engine is comprised of hardware and software. The control system is the safety and system management; and the control system determines how the engine is going to make the car work.
Enginasion technologists are well versed in many technologies used in diverse industries, such as biopharma and life sciences, medical devices, defense, and industrial. We're here to help you solve your difficult technical problems. Let's face your challenges together and create a new, cost-effective, efficient outcome. Bring us your process, product, technique, or vision—we'll explore the possibilities and design a new solution for you.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A Middle East expert praised the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement for its victory in the 33-day summer war of 2006, saying the movement witnessed a great boost in its popularity and position after the military confrontation.
"After the 33-day war, Lebanese Hezbollah's standing in the international arena was elevated and its popularity was doubled," Hassan Haanizade told Tasnim today.
The war also called the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War and known in Lebanon as the July War was a 33-day military conflict in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights.
The conflict started in July 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning of 14 August 2006, though it formally ended on September 8, 2006, when Israel lifted its naval blockade of Lebanon.
The Iranian analyst's remarks came a few weeks after the 28 members of the European Union agreed on July 22 to blacklist Hezbollah's military wing.
On the recent EU decision, Haanizade said the US and the EU orchestrated the anti-Hezbollah scenario to take revenge on the movement.
The blacklisting would mean imposing visa bans on individuals and asset freezes on organizations associated with the movement.
Many top Lebanese officials immediately expressed deep concern over the decision, which some said would damage Lebanon's international relations and worsen internal tensions.

Asus ZenFone 4 series launched in Taiwan
Asus Zenfone 4 series is at finally officially released. The company has announced ZenFone 4 series in Taiwan after accidentally posting the gadget on its French site. With the new ZenFone 4 series, Asus is joining the growing rundown of smartphone producers supporting dual camera framework on their mobile devices. The new ZenFone 4 series incorporates five devices: ZenFone 4, ZenFone 4 Pro, ZenFone 4 Selfie, ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro and ZenFone 4 Max Pro. Asus had launched ZenFone 4 Max in Russia half a month ago and the company has confirmed that every one of the devices will get the Android O.
The Asus Zenfone 4 Pro is a flagship smartphone and it includes a 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display and Snapdragon 835 SoC. It also includes a dual 12MP rear camera setup with one wide-angle lens and another telephoto lens fit for 2x optical zoom. The primary camera comes with wider f/1.7 aperture, optical image stabilization (OIS) and utilizations Asus' proprietary image processing engine to improve low-light images. It also combines Qualcomm's Spectra 180 ISP for enhanced camera performance and highlights like portrait mode and shallow deep of field impact. It also offers a 8MP phase detect autofocus at the front camera with f/1.9 aperture and 88-degree wide angle lens.
The ZenFone 4 Pro can be configured with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB inner storage. The handset is powered by a 3600mAh battery and is valued at a price around $599 (Rs 38,500).
The ZenFone 4, on the other hand, opts for a 5.5-inch 1080p LCD display and uses either Snapdragon 660 or Snapdragon 630 relying on the configuration. The smartphone offers dual rear cameras with one 12MP wide-angle lens with f/1.8 aperture and secondary 8MP sensor with 120 degree super wide-angle view. The ZenFone 4 can also be bought with up to 6GB RAM yet interior storage is constrained to 64GB storage. Asus Zenfone 4 will begin at $399 (around Rs 26,000) and passes up a great opportunity for premium highlights of ZenFone 4 Pro.
With its ZenFone 4 Selfie series, Asus is taking a direct shot at Oppo, Vivo and Gionee's selfie-driven camera smartphones. While ZenFone 4 series highlights rear dual camera framework, the company is moving that to the front for its selfie series. Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro, the premium of the two devices, sports a combination of 12MP and 5MP dual front camera setup. The primary 12MP sensor supports dual-pixel autofocus and can reproduce 24MP selfies with oversampling technology. The second sensor is a 5MP one equipped for 120-degree wide-angle selfie. The rear camera here is a 16MP unit with f/2.2 aperture.
The Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro using metal unibody design and is powered by Snapdragon 625 chipset coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The handset is upheld by a 3000mAh battery and will be accessible in red, gold and dark color options at a beginning cost of $379 (around Rs 24,500).
The ZenFone 4 Selfie sports a 5.5-inch 720p LCD display and uses Snapdragon 430 chipset. The handset comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage with support for expandable storage through SD card slot. The smartphone highlights a combination of 20MP and 8MP dual front camera setup with the primary sensor fit for 69-degree wide angle selfies and a secondary sensor fit for 120-

We don't always choose our best friends; sometimes, life just sends us a person and is like, "Hey, despite the fact that you guys don't have a lot in common, you are destined to be in each other's lives forever." Sometimes, the most unexpected personalities just totally hit it off and become BFFs. It happened with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and it happened with Bert and Ernie.
And it happens with food, too. Sure, we all have our preconceived notions about what ingredients "go" with each other and what ones should never, ever meet. But somewhere along the line, we've been witness to a few chance encounters that just tugged at our heartstrings and made us really, really hungry. These are the little friendships that could; these are foods that are unexpected besties.
1. Champagne and Fried Anything
This is the perfect combination of lowbrow and highbrow. And here's why it really works: the effervescence of a brut Champagne cuts straight through the fat and salt of fried food, whether it's Popeye's chicken or Belgian frites dunked in mayo. Happily, we're not the only ones who support this idea: Chef Sarah Simmons is opening a fried chicken and sparkling wine joint in New York City called Bird & Bubbles. We are excited.
2. Sloppy Hamburgers with Ice-Cold Martinis
This is like champagne and fried chicken, only bigger, badder, and better. Think about it: You've got a big, sloppy burger with all the fixin's, and to temper all that meaty, fatty goodness, you've got a chilled, briny, elegant martini (gin, of course). These two things don't belong together, and yet we hope they never part.
3. Kimchi and Cheese
We're not crazy! Kimchi and cheese get along better than you'd think. Cheese brightens up the intense kick that kimchi brings, and if you don't believe us, try making a grilled cheese sandwich with a little kimchi nestled in between the bread and the cheddar. Says Bon Appétit senior web editor Carey Polis, "Cheese and salsa are so happy together. It's like that, with a little more funk." If you need any more inspiration, hit up Earl's Beer and Cheese in Manhattan, where not only can you get a kimchi grilled cheese—you can get a kimchi grilled cheese on sourdough bread with pork belly and a fried egg.
4. Peanut Butter and Sriracha
Oh, don't act so surprised. If you've ever had takeout noodles with peanut sauce and a little bit of chile heat, you're going to like this combination. We, in fact, like it so much we created a recipe for peanut butter and Sriracha toast. Pro tip: Top the toast with the PB while the bread is still warm for that melty-glossy-greasy thing that happens with peanut butter when it heats up.
5. Popcorn and Chocolate
Buy a ticket to the movies—any movie will do; the film is kind of secondary to the snack bar here. Order a popcorn. Order Junior Mints. Order Raisinets. Order M&Ms. Eat some of the popcorn to make room in the bag. Pour in the candy and have at it. Look, we know salty-sweet works. We know this and accept it. What makes this combination truly special is the subtle nuance that ultra-processed candy brings to mass-popped popcorn with "butter." Try not to think about the fact that you're ingesting butter-coated chocolate and just let it happen. There's nothing like it in the world.
6. Potato Chips in Sandwiches
Here's why this works: Most sandwiches, while quite tasty, are textural one-note wonders. The addition of potato chips adds a much-needed crunch to an otherwise boring tomato or turkey sandwich. Besides, the saltiness of the chip adds a certain je ne sais quoi AND containing them within the bread makes the sandwich entirely portable, as all sandwiches should be.
7. Pickles and Whiskey
If you've never had a pickleback, get yourself to a bar that serves them immediately. (Alternately, you could DIY this one pretty easily.) The briny quality of the pickle juice helps your throat recover from the harshness of the whiskey. Equally delightful fact: Pickle juice is a possible hangover cure, so this drink is really just smart planning.
8. Chicken and Waffles
This one makes sense less from a flavor standpoint than from a historical one. Some speculate it got its start from backyard farmers who would kill a chicken and cook it for breakfast. Chicken goes great with biscuits, some surmised, so why not with waffles? It's also possible that chicken and waffles got their break in the jazz clubs of midcentury Los Angeles: When the clubs closed around 2 a.m., musicians had a combination of dinner (chicken) and breakfast (waffles). Either way, we'll have another order. With a glass of bubbly.

A picture has surfaced on the interwebs of Hillary Clinton at a news conference that is going to have the "Reptilians Living Among Us" gang jumping for conspiratorial joy. Believe it or not, there is a group of people who are convinced that an alien reptilian race is living among us using disguises that are undetectable except under certain lighting conditions and stressful situations. Every once in awhile, they let the disguise slip for a split second and reveal their true face, or facets of their true face.
The picture of Mrs. Clinton is really going to push them further into a delusional state. The picture is of the Secretary of State through the viewfinder of a video camera, and the result is an image that looks really kind of creepy. Here's the picture.
I've learned all this doing research for my new book. It involves UFOs and aliens and the like. You know that saying, "Truth is stranger than fiction." Well, I would change it to "Perceived truth is stranger than fiction." People really do have some weird and wacky beliefs that they grasp and hold on to in the face of basic logic. We live in a wonderfully weird world!

I've become more and more environment conscious over the last few years. I was brought up to think about the environment and recycling everything, but since I started my product based business I have learnt a few new things. Since I started running my shop and selling products, wastage has become a pressing issue to me as a small business owner as well as good citizen. I am conscious of the material I use and am always trying to reduce my impact on the environment.
Use paper sticky tape instead of plastic
I started to use paper sticky tapes last year and am close to using up all my remaining plastic tape. I am pleasantly surprised at its strength, and resolve to use paper sticky tape for the rest of my life! I hear that some plastic tape lookalikes are actually biodegradable but it is best to buy them from plastic-free specialised shops, just to be sure.
Reuse your packaging
I keep all envelopes and boxes from my online orders, unless they are badly damaged, so I can use them again for shipping my shop orders and commissions. The bigger boxes are particularly useful when I receive wholesale orders!
I also collect newspapers, flyers, and takeaway menus coming through my letter box and use them as a void filler, instead of bubble wraps or polystyrene foam peanuts.
Use recycled packaging and materials
Sometimes there is specific packaging I need for my products so that I have to buy in bulk instead of reusing used boxes. I proactively seek out packaging that is made of recycled materials.
It is the same case for the rest of my materials – envelopes, backing boards, tissue papers, paper stock, etc.
Recycling bin in close proximity
Having a recycling bin right where you work makes it easier to remember to recycle!
Buy supplies locally
Reduce air pollution by ordering from manufacturing suppliers locally, so no aircraft and fewer motor vehicles are needed. I make efforts looking for suppliers starting with Nottingham or the Midlands, and then UK wide.
Go for recycled or FSC certified stock
This is not the most difficult thing to do because almost every paper supplier and manufacturer uses FSC certified stock, and some of them offer recycled options as well. I will choose recycled stock in a heartbeat but if there is no recycled options then FSC certified paper is okay.
Also, we small businesses tend to add a personal touch when packaging our orders so it is important to use the most eco-friendly stock available for business cards, thank you cards, complimentary slips, etc.
Where to shop?
Anything But Plastic
Lil Packaging
The Green Stationery Company
Tiny Box Company
Ethical Superstore
The Green Office
My business is certainly not perfectly sustainable. I am still learning and looking for better ways to reduce my impact to the environment.
I still wrap my cards with cello bags and am looking to transition to biodegradable ones. I still have bubble wrap but I reuse it to wrap my ceramics rather than disposing of them in landfill. I have some plastic based materials in my studio and I plan to use them until they run out. I then will find a better alternative rather than buying more of the same thing.
What steps have you taken or plan to take to make your small business eco-friendly?

American Baptist College Reviews
19 reviews
All Categories
I enjoy my experience with American Baptist College. The professors are very caring, and concern about the students work hard and give their best. American Baptist College prepares their students to advance to places such as Vanderbilt, Yale, Howard and any other graduate school. The professors are very knowledgeable of their subject they teach.
I completed my degree 1983 my oldest son 2005 , my youngest son 2015 both as gone on to further their education. Thanks to American Baptist College.
I was able to receive little financial aid, and one scholarship from the school
Living on campus, isn't bad, there could be some improvemen but overall great
We don't have many computer labs, due to the fact that we are a small college of preachers, however it is enough space for what we have and more
The surrounding atmosphere is good, there is always something going on in downtown Nashville.
American Baptist College, is very accepting, we accept all types of students from different backgrounds, sexuality, religion etc.
My favorite experience since first arriving on campus was the way i was warmly greeted and shown to my room. Being an international student, you can very well imagine being "out of place," so to speak. But being at American Baptist College really does make u feel like a special part of the family.
What's best to love about American Baptist College is its extremely small student enrollment, which makes for smaller class sizes. Campus life is quiet for the most part, but there are regular activities planned from time to time for students to take part in.
There are very few students that live on campus. However, the housing accommodations are pretty satisfiable. A brand new dorm facility is presently being renovated for opening in the 2014 Fall Semester
Public Transportation is very reliable and and convenient for on and off-campus students.
There is a strong need for recreational buildings on campus for student and staff use alike.
I have never felt threatened on campus. Our security is the best!
Not TOO Close to Everything – Several food options exist in the surrounding area. The school isnt far from downtown and many other local favs, making it ideal for a short trip up the highway for fancier offerings. The plus is that being outside of these heavily populate ares allows you the comfort room to pass on the culinary explorations during finals.
Real Chef, Real Food – The dining experience at ABC is unlike what is found on most college campuses. Aside from a standard menu of burgers, soups and snacks the Chef (Troy) prepares a fairly elegant meal everyday. From this you have the choice of usually two meats and several vegetables. Wonderful food, good price, simply excellent.

On Wednesday, Chicago Cubs Addison Russell was accused on social media of mentally and physically abusing his wife Melisa, the MLB will be launching an investigation.
Melisa, who married Russell last January, insinuated on an Instagram post that the couple was breaking up. The post, which has since been deleted read, "being free to be able to make your own choices for your own happiness beats being cheated on, lied to, & disrespected any day."
Prior to the post being removed, a woman claiming to be friends with melisa, accused Russell of mentally and physically abusing his wife, alleging that he hit her in front of his 1-year-old children, Aiden and Mila.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the MLB is investigating based on the posts and is expected to try to interview both the wife and the friend under its 2-year-old domestic violence policy.
Any potential penalties are at the discretion of the commissioner's office on a case-by-case basis under the policy.
A team official said the club is looking into the allegation but has no comment at this time.

Advice For Kids' Summer Birthdays
How to Make Summer Birthdays Special
Every parent wants their child to have a great birthday, but how do you do that during the Summer, when your child may not be in touch with classmates and you need to coordinate a celebration around Summer activities and travel plans?
"My daughter's birthday is in July, so that means no bringing cupcakes to school to share and most of her friends are not around in July to celebrate," says Mary M.
Similarly, mom Laura says her son's sixth birthday falls on July 9 and she was planning to have a birthday party at a bowling lane, but no one RSVPed. "I dont know what to do," she says. "This happens every year to my son. I feel really bad for him because it seems to be because of the fact [that] his birthday is during the Summer and so close to the fourth. Can someone please give me some advice?"
Even if not as many friends and family are around to help celebrate during Summer, Circle of Moms members say it's still possible to make Summer birthdays special. Keep reading for their top three tips.
1. Make a Big Deal of the Actual Day
No matter what day your child's birthday falls on — even if it's during the Summer or a holiday — parents should make a big deal about it, Circle of Moms members say. "Whatever day of the year, it is their day, no matter what else goes on," says Alinna S. "In my family we have birthdays which fall on Christmas (both Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox), as well as many Russian holidays and American ones as well, such as Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July . . . it only makes that day extra specially special!"
Another mom who calls herself "munchkinmomma" agrees that you can make the actual birthday memorable — and make your child feel even more special — by focusing on the positive aspects of the day. "My birthday is on Christmas, so I know firsthand about holidays and birthdays," she says. "My family was wonderful when it came to my birthday. We had Christmas in the morning, went to Grandma's house . . . had Christmas there and then the traditional huge family lunch, then celebrated my birthday late afternoon (complete with a birthday cake and birthday presents wrapped in birthday paper). I never felt slighted, just extra special to share a birthday with Jesus. On a funny note, when I was a child I asked my Grandma if they put up lights because it was my birthday. Of course she said yes."
2. Move the Party Date
Although you should celebrate your child's actual birthday, several parents say it's OK to hold larger festivities on a date when it'll be fun and convenient for others. Hester V. says her daughter's birthday is in the middle of the South African June holidays. So, "we have a party on her birthday, and when the schools start we have another party for the school friends," she says. "Two parties for a 6-year-old is great stuff."
With the teacher's permission, Yvonne J. suggests holding a birthday/end-of-school-year celebration, just before Summer vacations start. Because her son's birthday falls on July 3 and people are rarely around for the long weekend, this year on the last day of kindergarten, she "hauled a wagon full of loot to school at early dismissal to pick up him and eight of his friends. We followed him, 'the leader,' behind the school under a nice shady tree to find a picnic waiting for us. We ate fruit kebobs and cupcakes, painted their faces, and played tag in the field while all the 'big kids' and teachers finished leaving school." On his actual birthday, she took her son and cousin's children to the beach. "Both times we got to enjoy our favorite people, and I got to come home to a clean house with a very happy 6-year-old."
Kay K. says she also has a birthday party for her son on the last day of school before the Summer holiday. "Everyone's still in town, and kids love it as an end-of-school de-stresser," she says. Kristi N. also likes the idea of hosting a birthday party during the school year even if it doesn't coincide with your child's actual birthdate. "Many people do that, sometimes in the opposite way. My daughter is invited to a half-birthday party for a boy whose sixth birthday was in January but has always wanted to have his party during warm weather at the park. So this year his parents asked him if he wanted to postpone having a party until Summer," she explains.
Celebrating half-birthdays during the school year helps to make sure children don't feel left out, Lori says, noting she does this for all three of her children who have Summer birthdays. While Mary M. brings cupcakes to school at her daughter's half-birthday in January. Her 5-and-a-half-year-old "understands now that her birthday comes at a time when school is no longer in session, and she is OK with this arrangement."
3. Take Advantage of the Outdoors
One big advantage of having a Summer birthday is that there is more opportunity to take advantage of warm-weather activities. "Summers are the best time to host luau parties, spa parties, garden parties, barnyard parties, and other themes that need an outdoor venue. For boys, you can consider sports-theme parties such as soccer party, football party, etc.," suggests Lisa R.
Summer birthday parties also can be inexpensive. "If you've got a nice backyard, that's a great, cheap place to hold a celebration," Grace F. explains. "You can . . . do a jungle theme for a Dora/Diego party, garden theme for a tween or adult party, barbecue for Independence Day," she says. "Get some inflatables for a bouncy party, sprinklers, water balloons, water guns," she suggests for the backyard celebration.
Lorena F. says she rented a shelter at a nearby lake one year. She and her husband snuck out to the shelter early on her child's birthday and decorated it with streamers and balloons. "This would work for any age. Even a baby would enjoy the outdoors and the lake and deco, too," she says.
Maureen C. sets up tents and lets her children "camp out" for Summer birthdays. "[They] catch fireflies [and] toast marshmellows. It is a blast."
Felicia F. is another mom who picks a Summer birthday party theme. One year it was baseball, so she worked with the local stadium, and for not too much per child, they got a hot dog or pizza meal and got to throw the first pitch. Another year the theme was "wet fun in the sun," so she rented out the local pool and had a pool party. The goody bags included flip-flops, and after swimming everyone went to the park beside the pool and had a cookout.
Whatever theme you choose — or season your child's birthday falls on — "just make it special" and remember to have fun," Amy W. reminds. "It isn't about when, it's about the love you show them," she concludes.

Don't let the name fool you! This is an American salad, not an Italian one. Our recipe has three parts, but they each contribute to making an incredible salad. Plus, making the dressing can be done ahead of time, as can toasting the bread crumbs. And you'll likely love the bread crumbs so much, you'll want to double the recipe and use them in other salads instead of croutons! (This recipe makes more dressing than you'll need, so refrigerate the rest. If it solidifies, let it stand at room temperature until it warms up a bit before adding it to the greens, about 1⁄2 hour.)Newsletter Sign Up
Cutting board
Sharp knife (adult needed)
Measuring spoons
Measuring cup
Blender (adult needed) or lidded jar
Small skillet
Heatproof spatula
Large Bowl
Salad tongs or spoons for tossing
To make the dressing:
- Put all the dressing ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth or put all the dressing ingredients in the jar, screw the lid on tightly, and shake until blended. Use right away or cover and refrigerate up to 1 week.
To toast the bread crumbs:
- Put the skillet on the stove, add the oil, panko, and salt and mix well. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring from time to time, until golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
To make the salad:
- Put the lettuce in the bowl and add 3-4 tablespoons dressing and toss until the leaves are evenly covered. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Serve right away.
Panko is a type of flaky bread crumb that can be used as a crunchy topping or coating. If you don't have panko, grind one slice of whole-wheat bread into crumbs in the blender, and toast the crumbs in a skillet with 2 teaspoons of oil until crisp.
Instead of or in addition to romaine lettuce, add spinach, kale, or any other leafy green you like.

Neolithic Caveman Found to Have Modern Oral Diseases
Researchers discover evidence that Neolithic ice mummy Ötzi suffered periodontitis, tooth decay and accident related dental damage.
Ötzi's dates back to approximately 3300 BC and he surprisingly displays a large number of oral diseases and dentition problems that are still widespread today.
The research was conducted by the Centre for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich with the help of colleagues abroad. Head of the study, Professor Frank Rühli explains that Ötzi suffered from heavy dental abrasions, had several carious lesions and mechanical trauma to one of his front teeth, most likely due to an accident.
Ötzi was discovered in 1991 and has been studied ever since, however little attention has been paid to his oral health. Dentist Roger Seiler, a specialist in examining dental pathologies, from the Centre for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich used the latest computer tomography data to study the Neolithic mummy.
"The loss of the periodontium has always been a very common disease, as the discovery of Stone Age skulls and the examination of Egyptian mummies has shown. Ötzi allows us an especially good insight into such an early stage of this disease," explains Seiler.
The computer tomography uses three-dimensional imaging to reconstruct Ötzi's oral cavity to examine his stage of periodontitis. Seiler found that the caveman was missing periodontal support tissue in the area of his rear molars, nearly extending to the tip of the root.
It is probable that while Ötzi did not clean his teeth, he had an abrasive diet which contributed to a self-cleaning process. Researchers also found vascular calcification which they attributed to his genetic make-up. Today, periodontitis has been linked to cardiovascular disease.
Researchers also attributed Ötzi's tooth decay to his consumption of more starchy foods, such as bread and cereal porridge, which became more common in the Neolithic age because of a rise in agriculture. These foods were abrasive due to contaminants and rub-off from quern, which is a tool Neolithic people used to grind cereals into flour, creating abrasion on Ötzi's teeth. Lastly, the discoloration of one of his front teeth suggests he suffered mechanical trauma and one of his molars has a lost cusp, most likely from chewing on a small stone in the cereal porridge.

I'm still waiting for the Japanese women, who are eager to breed a new hybrid Master Race, to make contact with me and line up in front of my doorstep. Maybe they haven't just yet realized how grave the situation is for the Japanese DNA structure. But surely the smarter ones will soon see through the blatant propaganda such as the claims that the nuclear reactions were automatically shut down in the aftermath of the initial quake while it's almost blatantly obvious there would be no need for continuous cooling efforts of the cores if that would be the case. Heat doesn't just build up around the reactor core if there is no more nuclear activity no matter how many fools tell you otherwise. Surely, only the drastic measure of mixing the Aryans of East (women) and West (well, at least me) will be enough to lead mankind forward now.
Anyway, in the meantime I might note that things are again getting interesting due to the Edgar Steele case in the US. After numerous delays the trial will apparently start on April 26. The defence team claims to have obtained testimonies from several audio experts that indicate the audio evidence against Mr. Steele has been fabricated by the Federal Government (or some other criminal organization). If the court will find that to be the case the implications could of course be enormous keeping in mind many other recordings of that kind which have been used to sway public opinion in recent years (like the Bin Laden tapes, the "impossible" 9/11 phone calls and the cockpit recording of the pilots of the plane whose crash killed over 90 Polish government figures last year).

Redlands is home to the highest polluting power plant in the state, according to a new study.
The Mountain View Power Plant on the city's northwest side, owned by Southern California Edison, emits about 1.85 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, according to a report released Tuesday by the nonprofit Environment California Research and Policy Center.
The study says the nation's power plants are the leading cause of carbon dioxide pollution, a greenhouse gas that scientists say leads to global warming. The more greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere the greater the chances for natural disasters like droughts, floods and hurricanes, according to the study.
The study results were released Tuesday during a news conference at Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa.
During the news conference, Redlands Fire Department Battalion Chief Jim Topoleski said that although he is not a scientist, in his profession he sees the effects of global warming.
Fire season is 78 days longer, and the mountain snowpack is melting one to four weeks earlier than in the past, Topoleski said.
"We have done some reasonable changes for the better," he said while standing in the shade of a solar panel on the Crafton Hills College campus.
As examples, he cited the college's solar panel farm, which provides about 80 percent of the school's power, and the windmills near Palm Springs.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, into law in 2006. It set a goal for reducing greenhouse gases by 2020.
"It's vital California leaders implement AB 32 as it's designed," said Emily Kirkland of Environment California.
Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar and San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris both used the phrase "think globally, act locally," while they spoke Tuesday of initiatives to "go green" in their respective cities.
Aguilar said reasonable solutions need to be enacted to create a level playing field between new and existing power plants.
Allen Hernandez of the Sierra Club said traffic and the Redlands power plant are two of the leading causes of pollution in the region that is often layered with smog blocking views of the surrounding mountains.
"If you ever wanted to see a place where global warming is real," Hernandez said. "This is the place, the Inland Empire."

Blades of Destiny Chapter 3- Retribution A whole year had passed since the Neo-Midgar project had gone underway. Indeed, Reeve's plan of creating Mako Reactors which actually recycled Mako energy back into the Lifestream had been a success and the inhabitants of Neo-Midgar had forgotten the destruction that had befallen them a year before.
Neo-Midgar was much larger than the original Midgar in terms of structure. It had spread out far, up to the deep brown, barren parts of the land that had once surrounded the old Midgar. Like the original Midgar, Neo-Midgar was divided into 8 different sectors, though much larger and much spread out that before. No longer was there a patch of barren land around the city- the surrounding area was completely full of green. There was something different about Neo-Midgar though: the reactors were nowhere to be seen.
Neo-Midgar had looked and felt different that the very first Midgar.
Instead of it being a dark and metalic city like it was before, it was now a combination of techno-metallic buildings with the green and beauty of the Planet's trees and grass. In essence, the city of Neo-Midgar had both the ingenuity of humanity and the peace and tranquility of the Planet. Could this mean that the Planet is once again in tune with man? *** 3 people were sitting in a bar together drinking some beer. Consisting of 2 males and 1 female, they were all wearing a uniform of a suit.
"Are we on assignment?" asked the yellow haired girl who was with the men.
"No Elena, we're off duty." replied the man with long black hair.
"... oh." replied Elena. "But Reno, why don't we just be on alert or something in case something comes up from HQ?" "... Elena. We're Turks. We know...

Market Europe just like Coca-Cola, says scholar
July 13, 2011
To forge a real sense of ownership and belonging, EU leaders and politicians should better market the European project, said the Indian dean of French business school INSEAD, Dipak C. Jain, in a recent interview with EurActiv. Having followed the American Dream and now seeking to live the European Dream, the Indian says that Europe's citizens take the unity of the continent for granted and fail to "own it" or nurture it enough.
"Look, Coke and Pepsi, everyone in the world knows Coke and Pepsi, but every day they are still advertising. Somebody would ask that question: Why should Coke and Pepsi advertise? They are so well-known. But every day you still see their ads because that is the measure of communicating, of creating a sense of freshness," Jain said.
People should be proud of what they have achieved, he said, adding that those achieving excellence abroad should come back and explain the uniqueness of the European model.

5 Dead and 3 in Critical Condition
After repeated attempts to invite the Journal (Golden Words' only friend), to a keg race, the paper's staff ended up throwing a keg race all by themselves. Without an opponent to race against, Golden Words started their kegger on Friday and the final member collapsed from exhaustion Sunday at 3:00am. For the past two weeks, the Golden Words staff was expectantly waiting for the Journal to accept their gracious invitation, 8 kegs waiting in the wings. After two weeks and many tears, Golden Words, like a small child who had no one show up to their birthday party, decided to drink the tears away. "We don't need the Journal to have fun, we're a strong independent newspaper and we can drink by ourselves."
Unfortunately Golden Words only has 6 permanent staffers and therefore had 1.33 kegs to drink each. Golden Words, makeup smeared down their faces and tears in their eyes stated, "I'm not fucking drunk, I can fucking do whatever I want, stop fucking touching me." Golden Words was also seen making obvious drunk facebook statuses about the Journal stating "I dnt need u in my lyfe to havve funn, u dnt knw wht the fck ur myssing". The Journal reports that Golden Words sent them 32 texts and left 5 voicemails. "I was just busy and didn't have time to respond to their message right away," the Journal stated, "I would have responded, I just had a lot of homework this past week and my intramurals have kept me really booked."
Several of the voicemails were reportedly just weeping into the phone intermixed with the sounds of vomiting and people attempting to take away the phone from them. One of the voicemails was Golden Words screaming at the Journal saying how much they hated them while another one was just Golden Words begging the Journal to take them back saying, "We still love you and totally didn't mean it when we made out with The Tartan and gave The Gazette a blowjob at that party one time." When all was said and done, five of Golden Words staffers had choked to death on their own vomit and sadness and another three tried to overdose on multivitamins and had passed out and peed themselves. Golden Words has shown an extreme improvement now that the staff has been replaced by untrained monkeys.
In total only 1 keg was finished.

Since The Maccabees folded back in 2017, frontman Orlando Weeks had been somewhat of a slow burning individual when it came to embarking on a solo career. While the desire was clearly there, his output was always very scattered and never really felt like it was going to amount to anything more than a few singles here and there. But with the birth of his first child completely redesigning his approach to both life and his creative spirit, he has found a muse in his son that he looks to project throughout his debut solo album 'A Quickening', a release that looks to examine the more subtle and beautiful moments in one's life.
Fans of The Maccabees will be pleasantly surprised at just how far removed this new collection is from their usual output. While he still looks to bring that same wistful vocal performance to his solo guise, the album's overall tone is far more ethereal and atmospheric than many would have expected. But fatherhood has proven to be more than just a schism in his life, it has completely transformed the direction he has wanted to take his music in, making 'A Quickening' a far more humbled and lo-fi record that sees him emerge from the adolescent chrysalis of his former self and unveil a more matured and progressive individual throughout.
Much like the solo work of Thom Yorke and Matt Berninger, 'A Quickening' looks to draw a line in the sand between himself and The Maccabees, showing us that while that time was a huge influence on him, it is now very much a part of the past. Orlando Weeks is now a whole new man, and this new release shows that in all its elegant beauty.

Austin Film Festival's Late Deadline for film submissions has just passed and our Film Competition will be closing on July 6th at 11:59PM PST.
Traditionally, this Extended Deadline window is accompanied by a similar price increase as other deadlines. We have decided not to do so this year. Our submission price will remain at $75USD for our Extended Deadline window.
2020 has seen significant upheaval in the film industry and the world, and as such, has seen a significant disturbance to filmmakers and storytellers alike, hindering their ability to work. Our Extended Deadline serves as a final window for filmmakers to submit and while we cannot reduce the fee without providing an unfair situation to anyone already submitted, we can maintain the price of our Late Deadline.
If you have a film or series that you would like to submit for consideration you may do so at www.austinfilmfestival.com/film or on FilmFreeway at www.filmfreeway.com/austinfilmfestival. Our Late Deadline price will not be raised and will remain at $75 for feature and short film submissions, and $50 for Digital Series submissions.
We are currently accepting unfinished work as well. If your film is picture locked and representative of its final narrative, that is what we are looking at during the consideration process. Unfinished sound, color, FX, credits, etc. will be permitted to be updated at a later date. All works completed after January 1, 2019 will be considered.
From all of us here in Texas, thank you for considering Austin Film Festival and we hope to see your film or series.
Rob Gonzalez
Film Competition Director
Austin Film Festival
At Austin Film Festival, it is our ongoing mission to champion the work of writers and filmmakers, and this goal has never felt as urgent as it does today. Our film competition has grown year after year and so have our efforts to serve as an avenue into the ever-evolving entertainment industry. Now, more than ever, we are thrilled to announce the inaugural Enderby Entertainment Filmmaking Fellowship Award and the Austin Film Festival Jury Advisory Program.
The Fellowship Award is available to entrants in the Narrative Short and Student Short Film Competition categories, and will provide the winner with covered travel and lodging for a trip to Enderby's Los Angeles offices that will offer career guidance and the opportunity to shadow company executives and filmmakers on-site. Meanwhile, the Advisory Program will facilitate opportunities for entrants across all nine of AFF's film competition categories sourced from selected in-competition films. Each Jury Winner per competition category and at least one additional selected in-competition filmmaker per category will have the opportunity to participate in advisory sessions with members of the AFF jury. The jury already includes representatives from notable companies such as Pixar Animation Studios, ESPN Films, Participant, Powderkeg, Stage 13, Sony Pictures Animation, Rain Management Group, Writ-Large, and Verve.
To enter for an opportunity to receive the Fellowship Award:
I. Filmmakers must submit a film to the Narrative Short + Enderby or Narrative Student Short + Enderby categories. There is an additional $20 fee for inclusion.
Eligibility for the Advisory Program are as follows:
I. Only in-competition selected filmmakers are eligible for this program.
II. The Jury winner of each competition is guaranteed access to the Advisory Program along with at least one additional selected in-competition filmmaker.
The winner of the Fellowship will receive the award and the coveted Bronze Typewriter Award at AFF's Awards Luncheon scheduled for October 24. We're excited to launch these initiatives as a continuation of the legacy of our Festival and competition credo. Our partners and jurors are excited as well, "We are continually impressed with the level of talent AFF attracts and are excited to connect with the selected filmmakers to help them crystallize their vision and further define their voice," said Kesila Childers, VP of Development for Powderkeg. Feel free to visit our website for further details. We look forward to helping you share your story!
Hello filmmakers, screenwriters, and storytellers,
Austin Film Festival serves to further the art and craft of storytelling by inspiring and championing the work of storytellers. That's what we do and who we are. COVID-19 has not changed this mission for us. We still intend to put great stories in front of our audiences and in front of the film industry. Our whole team is working on exactly how to do this right now. Our competitions will continue, our selections will continue, AFF will continue.
For starters, we're expanding our completion date requirement for films back to January 1st, 2019 (previously April 1, 2019), so you're window for what we consider eligible has grown. Second, if you're missing color, or sound, or effects for your film, but it's story and narrative is complete and stands on its own, we'll consider it fairly and you'll have until October to polish those last parts.
If you're uncertain about the eligibility of your project or if you have any questions at all, please reach out to me. My virtual door is always open. I'm here, our programming team is here, AFF is here.
Stay healthy and stay inspired!
Rob Gonzalez
Film Competition Director
Austin Film Festival
Known as the "Writers Festival" since its inception 27 years ago, Austin Film Festival recognizes the importance of narrative at the core of filmmaking. By celebrating the work of storytellers; those committed to crafting intricate worlds, fully-formed characters, and diverse perspectives, AFF bolsters its reputation as a champion for the creator.
1. THE CONFERENCE: Accepted filmmakers have access to AFF's Screenwriters Conference, the largest writer's conference in the world. The Conference attracts groundbreaking producers, agents, managers, and development execs, as well as countless working screenwriters and filmmakers. Many conferences are footnotes to festivals; the AFF Conference is worth the trip alone. The lineup is interactive, raw, and fun – you're destined to leave with a notebook full of strategies and the inspiration to start your next project.
2. THE SELECTION PROCESS: We take to heart the amount of work put into each film. Therefore, we are careful to ensure that each movie is reviewed at least twice. We like to be transparent in our process and judge the story over the production value.
3. THE CITY: There's a reason why Moviemaker Magazine consistently names Austin one of the best cities to live and work as a moviemaker. Perhaps one of the only cities where you can eat authentic BBQ, go to chicken shit bingo and try vegan ice cream in the same night, Austin is rich with culture and renowned for its hospitality and it supportive and innovative film community.
4. THE INDUSTRY PRESENCE: Each year we have a plethora of distributors, agents, producers, and industry insiders that attend and participate in the Festival, excited to meet new faces. Many films are picked up for distribution and many important introductions are made each year in our movie theaters, conference halls, and party venues. In addition, Jury Award winners are decided each year by esteemed and celebrated judges, including executives from Sony Pictures Animation, The Orchard, Roadside Attractions, Showtime, CBS Films, POV, Seed&Spark, Oscilloscope Laboratories, and Gravitas Ventures
5. THE AFF HUB: We can guarantee that AFF isn't your average fest. Yes, there's incredible barbecue. Yes, the margaritas can't be beat. But what's most apparent is the hub of filmmakers and supporters that continues to grow around the Festival. There are no velvet ropes here, and registrants and filmmakers are known to rendezvous with the best of them. At our parties, relationships are made and subsequent babies are created (in this metaphor the babies are films. Or babies. We don't judge).
More info below:
AFF provides filmmakers an invaluable platform among industry professionals and film-lovers. We've helped launch the careers of countless filmmakers including Jason Reitman, Cary Fukunaga, Jeff Nichols, Ray McKinnon, Chase Palmer, and Stephen Falk.
Each category is presided over by our A-list jurors, who in the past have included America Ferrera, Tom Skerritt, Ashley Miller, Scott Neustadter, Leigh Whannell, and representatives from CBS Films, Sundance Institute, Oscilloscope Laboratories, Roadside Attractions, The Orchard, Showtime, Sony Pictures Animation and Gravitas Ventures.
Moviemaker Magazine continues to list AFF as one of the Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee.
Keep in mind that the Jury Award winners of our Narrative, Documentary and Animated Short categories officially qualify for an Academy Award.
In addition to the films, our annual Screenwriter's Conference draws high profile Hollywood talent like 2018 panelists Roger Corman, Larry Wilmore, Tony Gilroy, Nicole Holofcener, John August, Craig Mazin, Peter Hedges, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, Justin Marks, Michael Weber and Scott Neustadter, Nicole Perlman, Ed Solomon, Chapman and Maclain Way, Herschel Weingrod, Bill Wittliff, Graham Yost and Linda Woolverton. The AFF Film Competition gives every filmmaker the chance to hear from and network with filmmakers and industry insiders like these, all of whom come to Austin looking to meet fellow artists.
Bottom Line: At Austin Film Festival, we pride ourselves on building a unique and powerful hub for filmmakers. By submitting your work to AFF, you're entering into this welcoming and dynamic community where new visions and untapped talent can flourish. Beyond production value, budget, and stars, we value the power of a well-told story. We can't wait for you to tell us yours.

Please Note: In light of COVID-19 and it's effects on the festival circuit, AFF is evaluating its rules accordingly. Updates can be found below. If you have any questions regarding your film and our rules, please reach out to our competition director, Rob Gonzalez (firstname.lastname@example.com).

2. Submissions must be in English or have English subtitles at the time submitted.
3. Submissions must be submitted as an online streaming video via a participating submission platform (FilmFreeway), a password-protected streaming URL, or on DVD with NTSC or PAL formatting (please test before sending).
4. In the event of a password change or link change after submitting, you must email the Festival at firstname.lastname@example.com immediately with that change so we may update your record. If the Festival is not notified of the change and the link is found to be inactive or the password to be incorrect, the submission may be deemed ineligible.
5. AFF screens films and series as digital files during the Festival and does NOT screen on Blu-Ray, HD-CAM, or DCP. If you are unable or unwilling to provide us your submission as a digital file for exhibition, DO NOT SUBMIT.
6. Feature Films and Short Films must have been completed after January 1, 2019 (previously April 1, 2019). Digital Series must have been completed after January 1, 2019. Films and series must be available for screening during the Austin Film Festival, October 22-29, 2020.
7. Films and series that have been submitted to AFF in previous years are eligible to be resubmitted, provided they are eligible according to all of AFF's current rules.
8. Films and series with US distribution (obtained prior to being selected for AFF screening) or submissions produced, financed or initiated by a major film studio or television network are ineligible for competition, but may be considered for a special screening. Selection for screening will be determined no later than one month prior to the festival. Films that have screened on US network or cable television or distributed to theaters prior to the festival dates are also ineligible for competition.
9. Short Films that have played in Austin in a theatrical setting to a public audience prior to October 22, 2020 are not eligible to compete at Austin Film Festival. This includes Shorts Night or other festivals. This includes online screenings through festivals based in Austin. The ONLY exception is that a short may play as part of a class screening for an accredited university's film program. We prefer that shorts be Texas premieres.
10. Short films that are publicly available online prior to the Festival may be considered for exhibition during the Festival, but will be ineligible for Jury Awards. We prefer that shorts not be publicly available online. Online, private screenings through a festival's online program do not count as publicly available online.
11. Feature films must be at least a Texas premiere. AFF will not screen features in competition that have played at other Texas festivals or screened publicly in a theater in Texas (including a one night only screening in a rented space) prior to October 22, 2020. We prefer World, North American, and US premieres and all things being equal, will often opt to program the film that has not yet had a release over one that has played at several festivals. If a film is screened online as part of a festival's program that will count as a local premiere to the physical address of the festival played through.
12. Digital Series must be the first one to three episodes of the series' first season. Only new series will be considered. Series that have played in Austin in a theatrical setting (or online through a festival program based in Austin) to a public audience prior to October 22, 2020 are not eligible to be screened at the Austin Film Festival.
13. Digital Series that are already publicly available online are still eligible for entry and Jury Award.
14. Private invite-only screenings (for instance for cast and crew or donors) do not affect a submission's eligibility.
15. AFF reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject or disqualify any ineligible entries, without a refund.
16. Films and series that are selected to screen at the Festival may not necessarily be selected to be "in competition" for awards purposes. Notifications regarding potential selection for competition status possibly may occur subsequent to notifications of acceptance for exhibition.
1. Submissions must be the original work of the applicants. If a film or series is based upon another person's life or upon a book or other underlying work, applicant(s) must secure any necessary rights to make such adaptations. However, it is not necessary to submit the adaptation rights agreements to the Festival. Neither the Festival nor its jurists investigates or attests to the authenticity of an applicant's statement of authorship or rights secured. By entering the competition, you represent that you have secured all necessary rights.
2. Applicants are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights and permissions for third-party materials included in their films, including but not limited to music, trademarks, logos, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. AFF expressly disclaims all liability or responsibility for any violations of the foregoing.
1. Films that have not received a full color edit, or sound edit are eligible for submission. AFF prefers picture-locked submissions for the consideration process. AFF's focus is on story, technical changes such as color or sound will not affect the final decision of any film. Should the film be accepted to play during the Festival, the filmmaker will have the opportunity to supply the Festival with their most recent version.
2. Filmmakers who are unsure whether to enter their film into the Narrative Feature Category or one of the genre categories (Dark Matters or Comedy Vanguard) should select the genre category so the film will be watched with that in mind. Austin Film Festival reserves the right to switch the entry category or otherwise assign a category to fit programming needs and interests, and films will not be penalized for the original submission selection.
3. Once an entry payment has been received we cannot provide a refund. If a payment is disputed by an entrant for any reason, the entrant may be subject to any transaction fees or similar amounts incurred by AFF in connection with the dispute.

It also seems inevitable that Robbie Brady is off, which on paper should give us the funds for a left-sided wide player (a true replacement for Brady, and not an auxiliary left-back) and, whisper it quietly, a better centre back than – Timm Klose apart – we possess already.
Archives for January 2017
Another three points at home but defensive issues linger – and there are remedies out there for City
Klose and Martin are not bad defenders but are simply not reliable nor solid enough to function as the backbone of a promotion chasing team. Two clean sheets may suggest otherwise but they have come at home against ineffective opposition and the result at Rotherham once again made their shortcomings palpable.
Two points from the play-offs and the trajectory is upward. But time now to crack the away day riddle
Eight defeats on the road, with a sprinkling of horror shows among them, is precisely what has afforded Delia, Michael, Jez and co a rough ride. And until that part of the equation is solved Carrow Road will continue to carry the air of a brooding, petulant teenager who's awaiting the chance to kick off.
Exclusive: The name Yanic Wildschut enters the frame as City's player quest heads north west
His potential arrival would signal the 'domino effect' Neil mentioned recently when quizzed about the timing of any window ins and outs and given City's failure to land two Dutch left-backs this week he'll be keen to get this one over the line.
Keep it civilised good folk of NCFC. Opinions differ, no two the same, but we all have one thing in common…
All the people I refer to go to Carrow Road because they want to be there – even the guy who cannot pick out which player is which. And he's younger than me and doesn't appear to need glasses. He might not know who the players are, but seems to enjoy himself nonetheless.
What makes a good match? What separates the mundane from those that can be classed as 'fun'?
There's a split second, where the brain has enough time to comprehend that something exciting is about to happen as you wait for the inevitable clattering of the pins – whether those pins are skittles or someone's legs.
To renew or not to renew, that is the current question. Reflecting on the slings and arrows of City fortunes
There's no doubt in my mind that the Board is well aware of fans' feelings, and would rather go with them than against them. The situation is that the Board – rightly or wrongly – genuinely believe in their path. On that basis they're prepared to defy the fans' wishes…
The players have got us into this. It's up to them to get us out. But still the Yellow Army has a key role to play
Lambert was very aware of the mood of the crowd. His post-match comments repeatedly highlighted how conscious he was of the ability to turn Norwich's own fans against them, and how close his team came to doing just that after their equaliser, and capitalising on the tinderbox housed within the Barclay, the Snake Pit et al.
Three points from an afternoon full of colour but with eight days left in the window it's over to the Board
So, three points against a club that – let's be honest – few of us admire. And what I believe is our first double of the season. Unlike some folks on social media I am not concerned about putting a spoke in Paul Lambert's wheel. His tenure leaves me with fantastic memories and I wish him all the best.
A lively one at the Carra with thrills, spills and a late sending off to entertain the Canary faithful
For all the talk of hero worship amid a potentially acrid atmosphere, the Wolves manager was a peripheral figure in the afternoon's proceedings, and the prospect of the bloodbath many had predicted was realistically quashed by Steven Naismith's nicely executed 13th minute opener.
Shane Long twists the knife as Saints leave it late to find their way past a stubborn City rearguard action
As an attacking force City were clearly limited – how they were set up to be – but they offered the odd threat, mainly through triggering counter-attacks via the pace of Josh Murphy but chances were virtually non-existent and Kyle Lafferty offered little by way of quality service.
Hysteria is a step too far but it is time for Delia to seriously rethink her future plan for this football club
Without extra funding to compete, I don't believe long-term success was possible for either. We don't have enough funding options to go into debt so we have to live within our means; something that is incredibly difficult to do in such a competitive market. It leaves restricted transfer and wages budgets.
An article of two halves. In the second, why a Fouth Round tie with the Gunners is a possibility
The Board may feel fate has dealt them a cruel card with that fixture, and the obvious contrast in mood between Lambert's time at Carrow Road and now. Rather than fate dealing the blow, though, I'm afraid they need to recognise it's become a self-inflected one.
A 28 year old love story that, bar major changes at the club, will soon draw to a gut wrenching close
When I hear members of our board feed supporters another line of drivel, I feel nothing – I just shrug. When I look around at our players at the end of a game, I feel nothing for all bar a couple. I don't even jump around, hugging complete strangers like a lunatic when we score anymore.
This season is shot. Gone. No play-offs. No Wembley dreams. Solitary upside? We won't go down
I don't always watch the Channel 5 Highlights show all the way through, but I did this weekend. The sheer exuberance of Leeds, the grit and endeavour of Preston and the way Fulham knocked it around for fun made me consider how proud I would be to support any one of those sets of players. Not our lot, I'm afraid.
City implode again on the road as the Millers expose the old soft centre and the fresh wounds are re-opened
The self-financing model this board perpetuates is not for the 21st century. Jez Moxey spoke with great pride of how this club likes to do things differently but for me the question should be why have we found ourselves on a path that is trodden by absolutely no-one?
Will Rotherham be another step on Alex Neil's road to redemption? Or will the spirit of Oakwell prevail?
If the same mentality as offered against Derby prevails then expect a convincing win, and some extended leeway for a manager who has already been afforded grace aplenty by his employers, but a repeat of the lethargy of Oakwell will only serve to reopen festering wounds.
How might a psychoanalyst assess the state of Norwich City right now? Here's a bit of amateur speculation…
The Board is not powerless here. It could have 'bitten the bullet' and dismissed AN; for various reasons it has not taken that course. Having retained him, it could now act to make the second outcome more likely than the first.
Eleven days in. No senior players in, no-one out, and still plenty of square pegs in the Canaries' squad
We also have a top-quality international centre back who wants out and we own the registration of the kind of player most people would want up front for them in this league but is obviously thought of as not good enough for us by certain people.
Saints replay offers echoes of a happier time but marketing gurus beware: don't take us for granted
Back in 1992, I went to The Dell for our quarter final. A 0-0 bore draw and we were shoehorned onto old trestles with 'seat' numbers on the back. Anyone on a packed Sleazyjet aircraft who complains of sitting next to a large person on one side and a small child with an ear-splitting shriek on the other hasn't lived.

Home field of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies. It is named for the Coors Brewing Company of Golden, Colorado, which purchased the naming rights to the park prior to its completion in 1995. The Rockies played their first two seasons, 1993 and 1994, in Mile High Stadium.
Coors Field was the first new stadium added in a six year period in which Denver's sports venues were upgraded, along with Pepsi Center and INVESCO Field at Mile High. It was also the first baseball-only National League Park since Dodger Stadium was built in 1962.

Uganda's military has confirmed that a man who turned himself in to U.S. forces in central Africa is a top commander of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army.
Military spokesman Paddy Ankunda said Wednesday that Uganda confirmed Dominic Ongwen's identity and said he was being held in the Central African Republic town of Obo.
The U.S. State Department said Tuesday that a man claiming to be Ongwen had surrendered in the C.A.R., where U.S. military advisers have been helping African Union forces pursue LRA fighters.
The U.S. had offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his capture.
Ongwen is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The LRA is blamed for killing and kidnapping tens of thousands of people across four African countries over the last 30 years.
The group battled the Ugandan government for two decades before breaking into bands of roving fighters that have often attacked and pillaged settlements in remote areas.
