He says: My favourite lok lok! =) Loveeee fried wantons, loh bak and the "ju hu eng chai" (cuttlefish kangkong).
She says: All the raw foods are fresh. I like the fried wantons. Not so much meat inside but it's super yummy when you eat it with their spicy sauce.
Sauce 1: Satay-like-sauce.
He says: Satay sauce... Dip ur pick into this sauce alone is good enough! =D really! hahaha
She says: I never really liked satay-kind-of-sauce. But when he asked me to give it a try, i was shocked. Shocked to find out that this satay sauce is different from any I've tasted. There's like a twist in it. Like they cooked it with some other ingredients that I would say 'makes it special'! It's really thumbs up!
Sauce 2: Spicy sauce.
He says: Spicy and a little bit sweet. Mix this with the satay sauce for better taste!
She says: Because of my love and passion towards anything apicy, this I love too much. I usually dip all my cooked food into this sauce. It's not only just spicy, but it has a very nice aromatic taste. Must try!

Callahan, Homer [Bill] (1912–2002)
Homer (Bill) Callahan, bluegrass, hillbilly, and western musician, was born in Laurel, North Carolina, on March 27, 1912. Callahan's most significant impact on Texas music was his role in one of the state's most popular radio shows, the Big D Jamboree. At the time of his birth, Laurel was a small town in the largely Scots-Irish region of western North Carolina. This area was rich in musical traditions from the British Isles that undoubtedly influenced Callahan's musical development.
Callahan came from a musical family. His father taught voice in his spare time to supplement his income as a postman and grocery clerk. His mother was an accomplished organist. Callahan's sister Alma and especially his brother Walter were also talented musicians. A great deal of Callahan's future success in the music industry came from working with his brother. Callahan was skilled with several musical instruments and singing styles. He played the guitar, the string bass, and the mandolin. He was also an accomplished singer and yodeler. His principal styles were borrowed from the native sounds of his home state--bluegrass and hillbilly music. In addition, he listened to the popular singers of traditional country music, such as Ernest Stoneman, Riley Puckett, and Jimmie Rodgers.
His first break in the music business came in 1933 while he was performing at the annual Rhododendron Festival in Asheville, North Carolina. At this festival Callahan and his brother publicly demonstrated their yodeling ability, and their success led to their first recording session for ARC records in New York in January 1934. Homer and Walter recorded fourteen songs, including their most famous hit "She's My Curly Headed Baby." In addition to his work with his brother on the album, Callahan recorded solo numbers, such as "Rattlesnake Daddy" and "My Good Gal Has Thrown Me Down." He also completed a few tracks with his sister. The Callahan brothers embarked on successful careers in radio, working first at WWNC in Asheville, North Carolina, and then at jobs in Louisville, Wheeling, Cincinnati, Tulsa, and Springfield, Missouri. They published songbooks and continued making recordings, including one of the first recorded versions of the classic folk song "The House of the Rising Sun" in 1935.
The Callahan brothers moved to Texas by 1941. During this time Homer and his brother Walter altered their musical style to accommodate the growing popularity of cowboy music made popular by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. As a part of their move away from their hillbilly and bluegrass roots, the Callahan brothers changed their names. Homer became Bill, and Walter took the name Joe. In 1941 the two signed a contract with Decca Records and cut seven songs. But their change in style resulted in only moderate success. They achieved their greatest fame through their part on the Big D Jamboree on KRLD in Dallas. This early, successful barn dance was broadcast every Saturday night from the Sportatorium and included other well-known performers, such as Charline Arthur, Johnny Carroll, and Roy Acuff. The brothers also achieved success during this time as sidemen for performers such as Wesley Tuttle and Marty Robbins. They quit recording together in October 1951.
During the latter part of his career Homer Callahan undertook a variety of projects. In 1945 he teamed with his brother in the movie Springtime in Texas with Jimmy Wakely and went on a nationwide tour to promote the film. He later went on a tour of the East Coast with Ray Whitely and in 1947 he recorded a solo for Cowboy Records in Philadelphia. For a period starting in 1951 Callahan worked as the opening act for the young Lefty Frizzell and served briefly as Frizzell's manager.
Eventually both Homer and his brother retired from the music industry and took up other careers. Walter went back to Asheville, where he became a grocer like his father, and died on September 10, 1971. Homer remained in Dallas and made a living as a photographer. He died in Dallas on September 12, 2002, and was buried in Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas. He was.survived by his son Buddy, his grandsons Kelly and Michael, and five great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Evelyn Hope (Carter) Callahan and son Ronald. Homer Callahan, along with his brother Walter, represented the rapid expansion and popularity of country music on the radio from the 1940s to the 1960s and played a key role in its development.

Astrology Dictionary P Page 3Astrological Definitions and their Meaning: Polarity, Porphyry, Precession (of the Equinoxes), Prediction, Prenatal, Primary Directions, Prime Vertical
PolarityThe English definition of the word Polarity is an excellent explanation of its meaning in an astrological sense. The dictionary defines it as 'the presence or manifestation of two opposite or contrasting principles or tendencies'. Polarity can refer to signs and houses in Astrology. The sign polarities are Aries and Libra, Cancer and Capricorn, Taurus and Scorpio. Continuing with Gemini and Sagittarius, Leo and Aquarius and Virgo and Pisces. Air and Fire signs have the same polarity so are considered harmonious. The house polarities are the 1st and the 7th, the 2nd and the 8th, the 3rd and the 9th and so on sequentially.
PorphyryPorphyry was an influential mathematician and a philosopher of neoplatonist concepts with an interest in Astrology. His works were influenced by Plato, Pythagoras and Aristotle and he was considered a believer of karma and rebirth. Porphyry developed his own simple astrological house system that divided each quarter of a horoscope into 3 equally sized houses. Porphyry's method set the ascendant and mid-heaven as the 1st and 10th house cusps. Other significant peaks are to be determined from the tri-sectional of the angles. The Porphyry House System is a popular choice in Indian and Hellenistic Astrology charting.
Precession (of the Equinoxes)The precession of the Earth's axis lasts for a period of almost 25,800 years and is partly the result of the gravitational pull of other celestial bodies. The precession of the equinoxes is an extremely slow conic motion of the Earth's central line towards the vernal and autumnal equinox points along the ecliptic path. It's discovery was attributed to Hipparchus but the Egyptian Pyramid alignment and other ancient landmarks indicate the observation was not unique to him. The precession of the equinoxes has introduced astrological ages in connection with its stages. Astrologers today believe we are at the present time in the age of Aquarius.
PredictionAstrology has always had a predictive side to its forecasts and some astrological concepts concentrate solely on prediction. These are Mundane, Meteorological, Medical, Electional and Horary Astrology and they focus on predicting an event in the future. These particular forms of prediction use different approaches and techniques than those in Natal and Relationship Astrology. Their forecasts still incorporate the positioning of zodiac signs, planetary movement and influences, house placements and aspects. Prediction or event-orientated Astrology has been requested for centuries and by many famous people.
PrenatalThe term Prenatal is used in Astrology to indicate cosmic events determined before the birth of an individual. A solar or lunar eclipse occurring in the months leading up to a person being born is known as a Prenatal Eclipse. The period of 9 months before a birth date is considered to be the astrological time of conception. A Prenatal Epoch is calculated by the position of the Moon on epoch or it's opposite day. The Moon's location then becomes the ascending or descending natal sign and degree for chart analysis. Prenatal indicatory influences can add insights into personality traits and shed light on possible destiny's.
Primary DirectionsThe introduction of pocket calculators in the 1970's sparked an interest in the ancient astrological idea of Primary Directions. These particular Astrology methods written about by Ptolemy were made a whole lot easier by electronic calculation. Primary Directions are calculated by the rotation of the Earth's axis and its movement through the 30 degree zodiac signs. This is measured as taking about 2 hours per sign or around 4 minutes for every degree. In Primary Directions the planets are maintained in the same position as they were at the time of birth. The MC is progressed and mundane aspects are created for interpretation.
Prime VerticalThe Prime Vertical in Astrology is the plane that separates the front and back of a celestial sphere appearing in a natal chart. Viewed from Earth it is a circle passing overhead from East to West, intersecting the horizon and travelling directly through the Nadir. Some advanced astrological techniques construct Prime Vertical Charts based on these points and positions. The interpretation of these methods consider the Prime Vertical to be one of the 8 Personal Sensitive Points. These select areas are believed to uncover how a person best receives, processes and distributes their senses including ESP.

Breaking down vocal effects in a pop mix (Part 2)
This post is the second in a series where I will be breaking down the vocal effects used on the lead vocal in my mix of the song "Treasure Hunting" by Sarah Emerson (http://www.sarahemersonmusic.com).
Here's the final version of the song that was released:
This post covers the first pre-chorus section and first chorus, to learn about the effects that have already been established in the song prior to this check out the first post Vocal Effects in a pop mix (part 1) !
So first, just a quick note about a change that happens to the existing effects as we come into the first pre chorus. To make room for some background vocals and these additional effects, i automated my reverb send for the EMT 140 plate reverb down about 4db (This verb is the main vocal verb that appears throughout most of the song).
This automation was done with the mouse, and I didn't spend much time thinking about the numbers, i just wanted it down enough to make room for the new effects, and not have the vocals get too washy in the chorus.
Now onto the new stuff!
Pre-Chorus 1
SoundToys EchoBoy – Stereo Ping Pong delay
The first additional effect added to this pre-chorus section is another instance of SoundToys Echo Boy. This delay is pretty loud in the song, and ping-pong's between 1/8 and 1/4 on the left and right sides. The effect adds some slightly chaotic energy to the pre-chorus, as well as additional stereo width. I feel it adds a bit of tension and excitement to this section since it has a quite a bit of feedback and is ping-ponging left and right.
For me, this effect sets the listener up for the chorus, since it introduces more stereo activity. It bridges the gap between the verse and chorus in terms of width and really helps build the song in general. I'm also adding some volume automation on this effects send, boosting it for the sentence before the first chorus to really PUSH into the chorus, by enhancing the delay slightly before the chorus section.
Pre Chorus 1 – Echo Boy Stereo Ping Pong Delay example
Delay Times – "Ping" set to 1/4 note and "Pong" set to 1/8th note. The variation in delay times on those channels (the left and right) gives the delay a less "straight forward" feel and makes it feel more exciting to me. This also adds a sense of width since the left and right sides are different delay times
Feedback – Set to 12 o' clock, to give quite a few repeats on this delay. I am pushing the signal fairly hard into the "FM radio" Style setting which is adding a lot of compression and saturation to bring out those extra delays as well
Low Cut – set to .34 to get rid of some unnecessary bottom end, since this delay is quite long it would really clutter things up if all the bottom was left in
High Cut – Set to .73 – This was set to taste by ear to keep this delay out of the way of the rest of the track so it doesn't interfere with the synths or other BG vocals in the top end
Width – Set to 1 o' clock. Not set as wide as I usually would because the left and right delays are set to different note values, and I felt that when I tried setting this value wider it made the "ping" and "pong" delays sound disjointed and too obvious
Mode- Ping Pong!
Style – FM Radio with Saturation turned up and Input turned up – The FM Radio preset gives a mid range filtered sound that cuts through the mix. The saturation and extra input into the effect gives a bit of compression to the effect, making the feedback repeats much more pronounced and a little more distorted or "saturated". As i've said before, you really have to spend time with these settings to understand how they effect the sound. I usually audition many of the settings before deciding on what to use for each instance of this plugin.
Altiverb Reverb- AMX RMX 16 Hall Preset pumping verb
So next, we have a new reverb that creeps up in volume slowly from the start of the pre-chorus, and finally builds into the chorus at full volume. This Altiverb preset is modelling the famous AMX RMX16 reverb unit set to Hall with a decay of 6 seconds.
I'll admit, this chain is a bit convoluted… after the AMS reverb, i have an H-comp doing a lot of gain reduction, followed by Sound Toys Filter Freak plugin, and finally a waves R-EQ. The point of this chain is to add a reverb that is really big and "EPIC!" sounding, but also is pumping in time with the music when I want it to (this is controlled by automation on the Filter Freak's "MIX" control).
I use this automation on the Filter Freak plugin to build energy leading into the choruses of the song, and in a few other spots during the song. This gives a subtle feeling of a 1/4 note pulse, but BEFORE the 4 on the floor kick starts in the chorus. It adds motion without being too obvious (except at points in the song where I turn the reverb track up and mix on the filter freak way up to showcase the effect and add drama to the mix).
Pre Chorus 1 – Altiverb AMS RMX16 pumping reverb example
Type – Hall C1 preset with a 6 second decay.
Altiverb EQ – taking out 2 dB @ 3.6kHz, and boosting 5.2 dB at 10kHz. The cut at 3.6kHz is taking out a tiny bit of harshness and the 10k boost is adding a bit more sparkle or space.
Waves H-Comp
The point of this compressor is to make the reverb feel a bit "squished" by changing the attack and decay of the verb. As well, this compressor allows me to push into the reverb from the track send more without worry about the verb getting too loud. The compressor also doesn't make the verb any longer, but it makes the decay less linear, so you can hear more of the tail of the reverb and it makes it feel a bit longer. This makes it feel less natural since it doesn't decay in a "normal" way, adding to the surreal sort of feeling I am going for.
Analog- Off. I just wanted this compressor to control volume, i didn't feel the need to add any more "character" or EQ changes with the compressor.
Ratio – 8:1 – I wanted to it to be heavy handed, so i picked a higher ratio.
Attack 15ms Release 279ms – I wanted a fairly slow release, and not too grabby on the attack but not too fast. This compressor is supposed to make the reverb sound a bit squished, and also make it feel longer by changing the release. I wasn't worried about it being transparent, since its more of an effect.
Mix – I initially set the compressor up and liked the effect, but thought maybe I took it too far, so by setting the mix knob to 80 percent I am adding in some of the dry uncompressed signal and making the effect slightly less drastic.
SoundToys Filter Freak – Pumping effect
This plugin is doing something very similar to what a side-chained compressor would sound like with the release timed with the music, but it is taking out frequencies only above a set threshold with a low pass filter (LPF), and is being trigger by the tempo. Normally this sort of effect would be ducking all of the frequencies, and be trigged by a kick drum or another element in the song. The goal with this plugin in this situation is to make the long hall verb i've setup pump or "breathe" in time with the track. This adds another layer of motion to the song without being too obvious, and is one of the many things in the mix that helps propel things forward and add energy.
Mix – The wet/dry balance for the effect. I use automation here to control the amount of pumping heard throughout the mix, to choose where I want the pumping effect to be more or less obvious
Shape – LPF (low pass filter) This sets the shape of the filter that the plugin is using, it is set to LPF because I want the high frequencies to be filtered out only.
Frequency – This sets the lowest frequency that the filter goes down to. If it was set to 20kHz there would be no filtering. It is set to around 300hz so the very bottom of the verb always stays, but the top end pumps only.
Mod – This adjusts how much the filter is modified by the RHYTHM setting i've chosed to use to trigger it. So if the mod is all the way to the left, the filter is static or doesn't move. If its set all the way to the right, it moves
Poles – This adjusts how steep the LPF i've set is. each "pole" is a 6db/octave slope. So 2 Pole is a 12dB per octave filter.
Tempo – Midi Sync on – This sets the plugin to sync to protools tempo.
Rhythm – I've set the Filter Freak to trigger based on rhythm. And set this to 1/2 note, but it's actually 1/4 note I think the songs tempo wasn't set right. Either way, i just adjusted it by ear until the rhythm was what I wanted.
Waves R-EQ
So this eq is just here to give a little bit of final shape to this verb. I felt it needed a slight boost around 4k for some more presence, and a few dips around 200-300 hz to take out some mud. As well as a HPF at 90Hz (this was probably unnecessary).
Chorus 1
SoundToys EchoBoy stereo ping pong delay
I initially had the original ping pong delay that was introduced in pre-chorus 1 stay in for the entire chorus, which it still does, except when Sarah says "We're treasure hunting".
I wanted to treat this section of the vocal a little differently as I felt the original delay didn't feel right with it. So in the chorus the delay throws (or sends) alternate between our orignal ping pong delay and this new one every time the line "Were treasure hunting" is sung.
**Note: All the extra settings at the bottom of this picture are what show up when you press "Style Edit" on the right hand side of the Echo Boy plugin. I'm not going to go into detail with those plugins, but I did tweak many of the "gain" and "decay" settings on the bottom left side to achieve the sound I was after.
Chorus 1 – Alternating Sound Toys Echo Boy Ping Pong delays
Delay Times – Ping and Pong delay times set to the same value. This is because i still wanted it to ping and then pong left and right but i wanted them to be the same delay time.
Feedback – Set to 11o' clock. This setting was tweaked after i had the STYLE section setup since the style saturation can effect how the feedbacks sound.
Low Cut – Set to filter out unwanted bottom end
High Cut –
Width – Set to full! I wanted this to be as "wide" as possible
Mode- Ping Pong!
Style – Analog Delay with the saturation turned up, as well as many of the Style parameters tweaked. By adjusting the decay and gain settings in the "Style edit" menu you can create some very interesting effects. This could end up being an entire other blog post- so not going into anymore detail for now.
So there's Pre Chorus 1 and Chorus 1 ! If anyone has any questions leave a comment! Or if you have any similar tricks you like to do let me know!
Up next…
i'll be posting part 3 which will show what happens in verse 2. Keep an eye out for it!
Not so much R-comp, but I love putting Waves Renaissance Vox on effect returns. It's great because there's limited controls so it's fast to set, but what it does have works very well.
For delays and reverbs, it's so easy to bring up the delays to cut, or make the reverb dense and bloom just by dragging the comp slider down. But what I really love, is the built in gate. You can use that to shape the delays and reverb further. So I can use this to really hit the delays hard but then set the gate threshold high so the delays don't go on forever, or use it to make the reverb bloom huge at the end of a word, but then set the gate, so that the verb cuts off or drops heavily in time for the next line to start.
If you're the kind of person who prints your effects as I often do (I use a lot of hardware so I tend to print stuff like delays) the gate is fantastic for touching up delays after the fact and tightening them up or ending them faster if later on you feel they're conflicting with the line without having to set the hardware delays up again and run through them again and waste time. RVox has not only made affecting fx returns easy, but it has saved me time in fixing things. I'm sure you have it lying around – check it out.
I know it says VOX, but whatever compressor algorithm they used it works on EVERYTHING. Trust me – try it out if you haven't. I can do a whole mix with nothing but that plug for compression.

Time to "Make Longford Shine"
Longford Tidy Towns have announced that Longford's National Spring Clean Day will take place on Saturday April 20th from 10am to 1pm.
The committee are looking for one hundred volunteers to help clean up the town by litter-picking, washing street furniture, such as bins, signs and monuments, and tending to flower beds. Chairman of the Longford Tidy Towns Group, Andy O'Dowd, is hoping to have four or five teams of volunteers, with each team taking on a different task. Volunteers will gather on the Market Square at 10am on April 20th, where a plan will be discussed before the teams disperse to clean up "as much of the town as possible."
The National Spring Clean, which takes place nationwide this year from 1st-30th of April, is an annual event funded by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, and organised by An Taisce. Last April, over 500,000 helped in the clean-up all over Ireland. Longford Tidy Towns are searching for volunteers to lead or join a team, or even get friends and relatives involved to help "Make Longford Shine".
Longford Tidy Towns have registered with An Taisce, who will supply one hundred clean-up kits. These kits will include plastic bags for recyclable and non-recyclable waste, gloves to protect volunteers' hands and plastic tabards to keep clothes clean.
The town takes part in the National Spring Clean every April, but Mr. O'Dowd wants to increase the frequency of the event. "I want this to be not alone an annual affair, but a regular affair" he explains, continuing; "Maybe monthly depending on how this event goes. We're hoping for the people of Longford to get behind it and help tidy up." The Tidy Towns Chairman hopes that the event may also bring Longford up in the National Tidy Towns competition.
Those interested in volunteering should register on the Longford Tidy Towns website www.longfordtidytowns.com, or contact any member of the Longford Tidy Town's Committee. For more information, contact Mr O'Dowd by email at email@example.com or by phone on 087 9633868.

How to Landscape Around Brick Mailboxes
The mailbox mounted at the end of your driveway presents the opportunity to make a good first impression with your landscaping. It is often the first feature visitors and passersby see when they approach your home. A mailbox encased in a brick pillar makes a formal statement that pairs well with brick and vinyl-sided homes, and the bricks also help to protect your mailbox. While the brick mailbox makes a statement on its own, consider the possibilities and then choose a style of landscaping for the area around it that creates an even bigger impact.
Remove the turf layer around the mailbox in a circle with a diameter equal to at least half the height of the brick mailbox. Use a garden hose to outline the circle, then cut away the turf with a spade. Fill in the circle with pea gravel or shredded bark mulch, ensuring that the mulch rests lower than the turf so you can mow easily without the need for weed-trimming equipment.
Remove the turf, and loosen the soil in a circle around the mailbox for a flower display; make a semicircle if the mailbox is too close to the sidewalk for a full-circle flower bed. Use the circle as a bed for growing summer annuals. Remove annuals at the end of the summer, and replace them with new fall flowering chrysanthemums (Dendranthema x grandiflorum), for example. Apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of shredded bark mulch around the plants and mailbox to suppress weed growth.
Lay two or three courses of brick or up to half the height of the mailbox on both sides of the mailbox to create square planter boxes that are an extension of the brick mailbox. Fill the planters with potting soil, and use them to display seasonal flowers. For example, you can display petunias (Petunia x hybrida) throughout spring and summer, then replace the petunias with chrysanthemums (Dendranthema x morifolium) in fall. Alternatively, you can plant spiral topiary evergreens for a formal look that you can enjoy year round.
Plant pipestems (Clematis lasiantha) or another native climbing vine at the base of the mailbox so that the vines grow up and cover the brick. Prune the ivy as needed so it doesn't restrict access to the mailbox.
Install an iron lamp post that is twice the height of the mailbox beside the mailbox; the metal of the lamp post coordinates well with the brick for a formal garden design. You can train vines to climb the lamppost, if desired, and add shredded bark or gravel mulch around the two structures.
Remove the grass, and turn the soil with a rototiller if your mailbox is located in patch of grass surrounded on all sides by driveways, sidewalk and street. Rather than keep a patch of grass that requires maintenance, plant low-maintenance, native flowers and shrubs in the soil, and add a layer of mulch so you don't have to worry about weeds.
Things Needed
- Garden hose

Eddington factsheet
Searching for habitable planets and mapping stellar interiors
Name Many of the ideas behind Eddington originated before the coming of the Space Age with the physicist Arthur Stanley Eddington.
Description Eddington will be a space telescope designed to detect subtle changes in the light from stars. It will spot oscillations that show the star's interior condition. It will also find planets half the size of Earth and upwards, within the star's habitable zone, as they cross the face of the star.
Launch 2008 (Soyuz-Fregat rocket).
Status Cancelled.
Journey After leaving Earth, Eddington will travel beyond the Moon to a special orbit called the second Lagrangian point (known as L2). Here it will begin its five-year mission.
Notes Eddington carries a precision photometer, that is, a device that will measure small changes in the brightness of a celestial object. These changes in brightness may well be due to the passing of planets in front of a star.
Eddington will be so sensitive that if, for example, it were to observe a swarm of 10 000 fireflies, it would notice if just one of them `turned off'.
Asteroseismology is the study of stellar oscillations in stars like our Sun (that is, the study of starquakes). Eddington will be the culmination of an international attempt to perform asteroseismology from space. Two small precursor space missions, MOST and Corot, are planned to lead the way.
By looking at stars of similar mass to the Sun but of different ages, Eddington will allow astronomers to check their theories about how the Sun has changed since its birth and how it will evolve in the future.
Eddington will help solve a problem called the Faint Sun Paradox. Astronomers expect that the Sun was about 30% fainter when it was born. However, geological records show that Earth's climate has remained more or less stable throughout its history. Either the solar models are wrong or our climate is remarkably resistant to change.

The international teaser trailer for Dorian Gray has been released, through ShockTillYouDrop.com. Directed by Oliver Parker and starring both Ben Barnes and Colin Firth, the film is an adaptation of the 1890 classic, written by Oscar Wilde. The story focuses around the titular person who revels in his hedonistic lifestyle, heedless of the consequences that it has for his immortal soul, reflected in a portrait made of him by Basil Hallward, which grows uglier and more decrepit as he stays youthful and vivacious. The trailer has been embedded below.
Dorian Gray is released on 9 September 2009. The title has been adapted for film over 20 times, and has inspired countless theatrical productions and musical compositions, as well as served as a primary influence in many other forms of entertainment.

Leading Australian wheelie bin manufacturer Mastec is seeking unspecified damages against Trident Plastics, following the recent Federal Court ruling which found Trident guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct.
The Federal Court action, which was launched by Mastec in 2016, was centred around Trident's unlawful use of confidential drawings owned by Mastec to produce its own range of bins, as well as the deceptive and dishonest claims made in a number of Trident promotional brochures exaggerating the company's pedigree and relationship with Mastec.
In his Judgement, which was handed down on December 21st, the Honourable Justice White found that:
- "…Mastec has made good its claims that it is the beneficial owner of the CAD Drawings concerning the product designs";
- "…that Trident Plastics has made unlawful use of its confidential information" and;
- that "…Trident Plastics has engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct in contravention of s 18(1) and s 29(1) of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL)".
The court heard that in 2003, Mastec had paid more than $645,000 for plastic moulding injection tools to create the its new range of 240-litre wheelie bins, lids, bin handle pins and bin handle inserts.
The problems arose in late 2012 when Trident started selling its own range of wheelie bins in 2012, with Mastec claiming that the lids on the Trident bins were the same or "substantially the same" as Mastec's range of 240L household bins.
Mastec had pleaded that the features of the lid – and the computer-aided design (CAD) drawings used by Trident Plastics in the manufacture of its 240-litre range – were confidential, because in 2003 nobody else had designed tools for the manufacture of wheelie bins with these features, and that they had been disclosed to Trident in "confidential circumstances".
Justice White upheld Mastec's claims that it had beneficial ownership of the CAD drawings and that Trident Plastics had made unlawful use of the confidential information.
Justice White also found that Mastec's contract with Trident Tooling (a subsidiary of Trident Plastics) included an "implied term" requiring it to keep the information and drawings confidential, and that through their actions, Trident Plastics and the company's Managing Director, Steen Saurbrey "…have breached the equitable duty of confidence in the CAD Drawings of the tooling for the MGB lids."
Furthermore, Justice White found that both Trident Plastics – which received a $500,000 South Australian State Government Automotive Supplier Diversification Program (ASDP) grant in 2015 to manufacture plastic rubbish bins – and Mr Saurbrey, had also engaged in deceptive conduct by lying about the company's work pedigree in promotional documents marketing its wheelie bin range.
In reviewing Mr Saurbrey's evidence, Justice White found that "…in a number of respects, it was not reliable."
Furthermore, Justice White found that Mr Saurbrey "…had a tendency to understate or overstate matters" giving him "…the distinct impression that Mr Saurbrey "invented" some matters as his evidence proceeded."
In his Judgement, Justice White noted:
"I mention some of the matters which gave rise to my concerns about the reliability of Mr Saurbrey's evidence. The first was the dishonest statements which he caused Trident Plastics to make in its promotional brochures concerning its experience in the MGB industry."
"Regrettably, I consider that these statements should be characterised as having been lies at the time they were made."
"Mr Saurbrey acknowledged that he was the source of the information contained in the documents containing the dishonest statements. He had also read them and approved their use."
"Mr Saurbrey's attempts at explaining the lies did not do him credit. For example, he described the false claim that Trident Plastics had designed and built a 140 litre MGB as "accidental". He could not explain the changes in the number of MGBs which Trident Plastics claimed to have manufactured for Mastec contained in the successive iterations of its promotional material."
"I had the strong impression from this evidence that Mr Saurbrey was prepared to make statements as and when they suited him, without regard to their truth. I also considered that that attitude had carried over into the witness box."
Excerpts quoted from FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA. Mastec Australia Pty Ltd v Trident Plastics (SA) Pty Ltd (No 2) [2017] FCA 1581. File number: SAD 237 of 2016. Judge: WHITE J. Date of Judgement: 21 December 2017.
Companies and individuals found guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct face maximum fines of $1.1 million and $220,000 respectively.
Mastec declined to comment on the extent of the damages it was seeking, so as not to prejudice ongoing court proceedings.

MBA Part-Time 2005
When I started studying at ESB Business School I was very surprised by the community-like atmosphere, something I hadn't experienced in law school where you typically have 300 students per year. While I was studying at ESB, I met a few alumni, so when I got my first job with the MBA degree and was moving to a mid-size German town, it was natural to look out for other alumni in the area and I have met so many of them in all the places I worked in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. My motivation is to make the international network stronger. That's why I work as an editor for the Europolitan to discover all the brilliant careers and companies where our alumni are and make them known in our network.

Mirrored Investing Firm Adds Eagle Model to Its Investment Model Line Up
NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO-(WiredPRNews.com) Green Valley Wealth Advisors today launched its "Eagle" Model on Covestor (http://covestor.com), which enables people to replicate the trading strategies of proven investors.

The Hunk Differential
EING beautiful pays off. Economists have found that men with above-average looks are paid about 5 percent more than those with average appearance, while those who are below average in looks have wages 9 percent below the mean.
But is this because of discrimination or productivity?
Clearly, being attractive is part of the job description for some occupations — think of supermodels or television anchors. On the other hand, one might think that beauty would not have much effect on the productivity of, say, newspaper reporters or professors.
However, research by two economists, Daniel Hamermesh and Jeff Biddle, has found that beauty has a substantial payoff across a variety of occupations, even those where it doesn't seem to be inherently valuable.
Perhaps beauty contributes to productivity in subtle and indirect ways. Homely sales representatives might not be able to sell products as effectively as attractive ones, while good-looking reporters might have an easier time finding willing news sources.
On the other hand, it might be that bosses award beautiful people with pay raises independently of performance.
It's hard to disentangle these two hypotheses. If attractive people are able to work better with customers, colleagues and clients, thereby producing more value for employers, one might argue that it is appropriate to reward beauty.
But if there is little relationship between measures of job performance and beauty, then higher wages for attractive people would amount to discrimination based on irrelevant characteristics.
To decide between the productivity hypothesis and the discrimination hypothesis one needs data on job performance.
Recently Mr. Hamermesh, a labor economist at the University of Texas at Austin who has long studied beauty and labor markets, wrote a paper with an undergraduate economics major, Amy Parker, that investigates the effect of beauty on a particular measure of performance: teaching evaluations for college professors.
The economists collected teaching evaluations for 463 courses taught by 94 faculty members at the University of Texas at Austin, along with some characteristics of the instructors, like sex, race, whether they were on tenure track, and whether they were educated in an English-speaking country.
They asked six undergraduate students to rate the photographs of the professors on a 10-point scale and used the average measure as a beauty score. The student ratings on the beauty scale were highly correlated with one another, suggesting that they were measuring the same aspects of appearance.
According to the economists' statistical analysis, good-looking professors got significantly higher teaching scores. The average teaching evaluation was 4.2 on a 5-point scale. Those at the bottom end of the attractiveness scale received, on average, a teaching evaluation of about 3.5, while those on the top end received about 4.5.
Other variables that positively influenced teaching ratings were being a native English speaker, being a non-tenure-track faculty member, and being male. The first fact is hardly surprising, the second is explained by the fact that non-tenure-track faculty members are often selected primarily for their teaching ability, but the third is a bit surprising.
On closer investigation the economists found that good looks were significantly more important for men than women in producing high teaching evaluations. The same effect was found in earlier research relating wages to beauty: being good-looking, or at least not being bad-looking, is significantly more important for men than for women.
There are various ways these results might be biased. Suppose professors who are well organized and tidy put more care both into choosing their photos and in organizing their courses. Then better-looking photographs would be correlated with higher teaching ratings.
To check for this sort of problem, the authors separated out "formal" pictures (men with neckties, women with jacket and blouse) from informal ones. The results didn't change.
There are even more subtle effects that might be present. Maybe those who value beauty want to take art appreciation courses, and this love of beauty influences their subsequent ratings of their professors.
Luckily, several of the courses were taught by multiple instructors, so the authors could examine differences in ratings while controlling for the courses selected. Again, the results stayed essentially the same.
The bottom line is that better-looking professors get higher teaching scores, all else being equal. To the extent that teaching is an important component of job performance, and to the extent that teaching evaluations accurately measure performance, basing salary on measured teaching performance implies a significant wage premium for beauty, even for college professors.
The really tough question is whether being beautiful truly increases teaching performance — that is, helps the students learn more — or whether the students are just reacting to an irrelevant characteristic.
As Mr. Hamermesh and Ms. Parker put it, "What if students simply pay more attention to good-looking professors and learn more?"
This effect would be a true productivity effect. If a television anchor's looks allow him or her to attract more viewers, that makes that person more valuable to the network. If a professor's looks help students learn more, then we might expect that aspect of job performance should be rewarded.
Mr. Hamermesh and Ms. Parker lead off their paper with a quote from the supermodel Linda Evangelista: "It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I would be a teacher."
But it appears that the same physical attributes that made Ms. Evangelista a successful model would also contribute to her success as a college professor. At least the students might stay awake in class.

In 2010, when South Africa became the first African country to host the FIFA World Cup, it left a legacy of a people united by sport for the whole continent. On the sidelines, another legacy all together emerged: that of the vuvuzela.
The sound of the vuvuzela became synonymous with African football in 2010. So popular did this plastic horn with its monotone trumpeting sound become that for months it was heard across the world – at the annual hotdog eating competition on Coney Island, at a Hollywood awards show, rock festivals and comic conventions.
No one knows for sure what the origins of the vuvuzela are. Some say that it comes from the kudu horn, which was used to summon villagers for meetings. It has been a familiar sound at South African football matches for decades, and when the FIFA World Cup rolled around, plastics manufacturers made a killing, churning out cheap, brightly coloured vuvuzelas... perhaps in their millions. International tourists who attended the 'biggest sporting spectacular in the world' on African soil, made sure they left with vuvuzelas aplenty in their luggage, enough for everyone back home.
The word 'vuvu' means to make noise in the Zulu language.
It is precisely this loud, droning noise that the vuvuzela makes that has seen it banned from events by many organising bodies. For instance, vuvuzela bans are already in place at all UEFA matches, several English Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool; Manchester United has banned them from Old Trafford. It's not just football circles. Vuvuzelas are banned from the 2011 Rugby World Cup, all Wimbledon games, and a host of other events – for good reason.
It's not just the noise, which Urban Dictionary defines as a "mind-numbing torture device". Several studies have found, not surprisingly, that exposure to blasts of sound from a vuvuzela can lead to permanent hearing loss. As spittle accumulates in the horn when it is blown, there is also the possibility that it can transmit diseases like the common cold, and worse, as germs become airborne.
However, the FIFA body refused to ban the use of the vuvuzela at 2010 World Cup matches, with president Sepp Blatter saying: "We should not try to Europeanise an African World Cup. That is what African and South Africa football is all about — noise, excitement, dancing, shouting and enjoyment".
Dangerous or not, the vuvuzela is now a phenomenon in pop culture. It has even been included in the latest update of the Oxford Dictionary of English. And the Global Language Monitor survey, which tracks the frequency of words used by almost 1.6 billion English-speakers, named 'vuvuzela' as one of the top 10 most used words around the world in 2010.
It has even made an appearance it the popular 'Blend It' series on YouTube, where devices such as iPods are thrown into a blender for fun. YouTube even added a Vuvuzela button to its website during the 2010 World Cup. During the BP oil spill crisis last years, protestors turned out in their hundreds, causing a cacophony of noise with their vuvuzelas. There have been attempts to create a more harmonious 'symphony' of sounds in stadiums, with international composers taking part in the project. There is a Vuvuzela app for the iPhone. The humble vuvuzela has even appeared in comic books.
It's mindlessly cheerful one-note has come to represent the sound of the African continent, and South Africa in particular. The sound of a resilient, optimistic Rainbow Nation!

Shkodran Mustafi insists Arsenal must use their performance in Sunday's goalless draw at Chelsea as a platform for success this season.
The Gunners took their first Premier League point from Stamford Bridge since 2011 as they held the reigning champions to a 0-0 stalemate.
Arsenal arguably could have won the game as Aaron Ramsey hit a post and Alexandre Lacazette blazed the rebound over from close-range, before David Luiz was shown a straight red card for Chelsea in the closing stages for a foul on Sead Kolasinac.
Despite having to settle for a share of the spoils, Arsene Wenger's side were much better than in the recent 4-0 defeat at Liverpool before the international break.
Now Mustafi, who saw a second-half header ruled out for offside, told the club's website: "We are a team that are willing to learn.
"I think that we have to try and build from something and I think we can build form this performance because we were really well organised when we didn't have the ball.
"When we had the ball, we played some brilliant one-touch football. I think we can build from this. We played against the champions of last season and if you play like this, I think you'll get a lot of points. We can build from that."
Arsenal host Doncaster in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night before West Brom are the visitors to the Emirates Stadium next Monday, live on Sky Sports.
Mustafi believes the momentum gleaned from a strong performance against a major rival must now roll on into their upcoming matches.
"I love playing in the Premier League because you can see that everyone is going to try and win, try and perform," he added.
"I think in the end, even though we didn't get the three points, we performed and now we can go with that into the next game."

Here are seven local businesses that can help you check off your back to school shopping list:
7. Butter Toast Boutique Selling vintage apparel and accessories for men and women, Traci Nelson & Jasmine Jarrett at Butter Toast Boutique have the designing know-how to get you the right look for the fall semester.
As added incentive, they're now holding a back-to-school sale for ASU students. Just bring your ID or enter the promo could student20 at their online store for 20 percent off your purchase.
Pictured above: Authentic vintage tees, aged for premium irony ($24) and a nineties floral grunge-factor dress- easy to accessorize and even easier to throw on when you realize you're late for class ($28). Pair it with a feather necklace ($40) and leather crossbody bag ($18)
6. GROWop GROWop carries an eclectic blend of new and old, threads and décor. Although they're not as heavy on the clothing as Butter Toast, GROWop has all those perfect little details to finish off a new apartment or outfit, such as clutches, scarves, candles, and jewelry. You might also want to take in the staging throughout the store as inspiration for your own place.
Pictured above: Men's short sleeved button down shirts (Prices vary, average $20). Handmade pillows in assorted colors, perfect for your naked furniture ($25 each).
5. Brand X / Icon Whether you're starting up a club, or you're just a creative genius in need of a silkscreen, Brand X Custom Tees has you covered with custom tees starting at $20 ($17 if you bring in your own shirt). And if you're in the market for something other than shirts, their sister store next door, also sells blank hats, bags and more that can be personalized to your heart's content.
Pictured above: A variety of bags including messenger and totes that serve as a functional canvas ($11-$20).
4. Boutique Solie Boutique Solie has a little bit of everything fresh and feminine, drom shoes to sunglasses, clothing to purses, (the owner, ,Bethaney Soliere even offers spray tanning). Best of all, ASU students get 10 percent off their purchases all year round.
Pictured above: Lace back top ($58) and shorts ($65), colorful shades that are as stylish as they are practical ($10), delicate bracelets that can easily be stacked at only $6 a piece, and skull flats that bring new life to closed-toed shoes ($28.50)
3. Zinnias at Melrose Whether you're a hipster or just plain broke, thrifting is the perfecti solution for all things conscious (budget, self, earth, etc.). Zinnias could well be your Ikea alternative, with decent prices and a diverse range of furniture, dishware, art and - well, you name it. Seriously, if you want a 3ft Egyptian statue to greet people in your living room, they have that.
They also take 20 percent off everything in the store on third Thursdays.
Pictured above: Retro red table and chair set, perfect for small spaces ($125). Vintage trunks. When these multipurpose trunks aren't sitting on their sides as nightstands, or stacked on top of each other as a ready made coffee table, they're storing all the stuff, your not-so walk-in closet and kitchenette couldn't hold. ($15-$19)
2. Landis Cyclery With locations in Central Phoenix, North Scottsdale, North Tempe, and South Tempe, Landis makes it pretty easy to get your hands on some two-wheeled transportation. Even if you already have a bike, it's a great place to purchase some extra bells and whistles for your bike. Pictured above: Single speed Electra cruiser, perfect for those who only have to travel a mile or two to class ($239 -- basket is an additional $20)
Skinny Tire Comfort Bike, perfect for those who have a slightly longer commute to class, and would prefer being on time ($329).
1. Changing Hands With classes starting August 23, there's still time to squeeze in one last summer read. Leave it to the literary loving staff at Changing Hands to find just the right book to make you laugh, swoon, cry, or whatever else it is that you like to do with books.

Wild is a National Bestselling memoir that chronicles the physical and existential journey of a 22-year-old Cheryl Strand as she impulsively decides to hike the 1100 mile Pacific Crest Trail alone. Think Into the Wild, only this time it's a woman and no one dies in an abandoned bus. It's a great read for hikers, empowered women, and pretty much all lost twenty-something's ($25).

Advances in low pressure hydrogen storage
I just read an update on LinkedIn from Mark Cannon, CTO at Hydrogen in Motion (H2M). His company works on the development of a low pressure hydrogen storage system. The hydrogen is adsorbed to a material. This technology is interesting because hydrogen is hard to store. You need a large volume of hydrogen to get the energy you need. For this reason hydrogen is stored at extremely high pressure. Such high pressure storage systems are very expensive.
Mark wrote on LinkedIn: "A year ago we successfully synthesized a material which adsorbed 4.2 wt % hydrogen and desorbed 70% of it at 50 bar and ambient temperatures. For the past year we have been focusing on improving the synthesis of this material and understanding all the mechanisms at play. We are currently adsorbing 5 wt % and releasing 80% of the hydrogen, effectively a 4 wt % material. Gravimetrically comparable to 250 - 700 bar compressed tanks but with a volumetric capacity better than 40 g/l. Now we are increasing material production for demonstration tanks for our strategic partners"
Now 4 weight percent (wt %) doesn't sound like much, but you have to realize that hydrogen is the lightest existing material on the planet. A fuel cell vehicle needs only 5 kg to drive about 500 km. So 4 wt % means that a storage system for 5 kg would weigh about 125 kg, which does not add too much weight to a vehicle. A high pressure storage cilinder for 5 kg weighs about the same.
Now of course this kind of storage technology has downsides as well. The number of filling cycles is limited. When asked Marked answered that "Early tests show 100's of adsorption/desorption cycles. " If a vehicle can drive 500 km on a tank, that means 200 cycles gives the tank a lifetime of 100.000 km.
Filling times are also important. High pressure cilinders can be filled in only 5 minutes. Mark did not mention how long it took to fill, but similar materials require hours to completely adsorb the hydrogen.
The main advantage of these systems is a much lower price. According to Mark: "Goals is to be half the price of compressed tanks of equivalent performance."
If filling times are a problem then you may end up with a hybrid system. Say a 4 kg high pressure cilinder and a 1 kg low pressure tank. The 4 kg can be filled quickly and the final kg serves mainly as an emergency supply in case the main tank is empty. If used, the emergency supply can slowly refill itself from the main tank after this has been refueled. Use as emergency supply also means that the number of filling cycles will not be an issue.

Toyota Holds Ninth Dream Car Art Contest Award Ceremony
27 Aug, 2015, 09:40 BST
TOKYO, Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
/UPDATE -- Toyota Motor Corporation/
In the news release, Toyota Holds Ninth Dream Car Art Contest Award Ceremony, issued 26-Aug-2015 by Toyota Motor Corporation over PRNewswire, we are advised by the origination that under the Related websites section it should read "- Campaign website: http://dreamcar-collection.com", rather than "- Campaign website: www.dreamcar-of-the-day.com" as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
Since 2004, Toyota Motor Corporation has asked children from around the world to put their creativity to work in creating their Dream Cars. The results range from the impressively practical to the downright unusual, but most importantly they all show abundant imagination, and they are all unique. Not only do they give inspiration on what new cars to make, but also they remind Toyota of the kind of responsible global citizen it should be: whether it be helping little girls learn to read in Romania or conserving the environment in Paraguay.
(Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osmcQntcLas)
The response to this year's contest was overwhelming: Toyota received a record total of over 875,000 artworks from 81 countries and regions. National contests were held until March 2015, with selected entries progressing to the World Contest in May 2015. World Contest entries were judged by Toyota President Akio Toyoda and a panel of outside experts in art and automotive science, and winners were invited to Japan for the ninth award ceremony in August.
This year, gold awards were given to children from Sri Lanka, Romania and Paraguay across three age categories. In addition, the newly created Engineering Inspiration Award (selected by Executive Vice President Mitsuhisa Kato) and a special award selected exclusively by President Toyoda were presented to exclusive winners.

KISS Kollector Online has isued the following update on KISS' upcoming "Rock the Nation Live!" DVD:
"There's been a lot of talk about the forthcoming KISS DVD 'Rock the Nation Live!' amongst fans over the last few months. Whereas a release date still hasn't been announced, according to Sanctuary Records' website the initial idea of releasing a 2-DVD set recently changed into a 4-DVD set. Unfortunately, details about the extra two discs are unknown as of yet (but a little while ago word went around that these two additional discs are to feature a 1972 concert as well as a supposed Winterland '73 show — however, KISS wasn't named KISS yet back in '72 although Ace Frehley joined the band in December of that year — and as far as we know WICKED LESTER performed their last live concert in '71 so it's quite impossible to include a live show from '72, and KISS didn't play live in Winterland in '73…) but in the fourth issue of official KISS magazine — which came out recently and mentioned a summer release for the DVD — the track listing for the 2 DVDs containing the actual Rock the Nation Tour footage was revealed. As well as several other details about the discs' contents.
"And if all that hasn't changed by now, then things look very promising for the upcoming DVD. It might turn out to be the coolest KISS DVD released up till now. Not only will it contain no less than 20 live tracks, but also incredible behind-the-scenes footage. Intermingled with the songs will be exciting backstage footage — including stuff shot in the dressing room, at soundcheck, on the road, etc. Tommy Thayer (who previously was responsible for the KISS DVDs 'The Second Coming' and 'Symphony' as well as Ted Nugent's 'Full Bluntal Nugity') was in charge of the DVD project and likes to refer to all the behind-the-scenes footage — which was filmed by Spiro Papadatos — as little 'documentaries.' Kevin McCullough (who did the editing for the 'Symphony' DVD and worked with Gene Simmons on his 'Speaking In Tongues' DVD) edited the concert footage whereas Tommy edited the behind-the-scenes/documentary footage. The documentary sections have been divided into 7 different chapters, and include voice overs by the band members.
"First up is The Dressing Room, which chronicles what each band member does to get ready for the show (including Paul Stanley's vocal exercises), putting on make up and costumes, etc. Then there's Photo Shoot, taking you back to the March 2004 photo session at Neil Zlozower's studio which was a month or two before the Rock The Nation Tour kicked off. The third documentary is titled The Meet & Greets, which explains the reasoning behind doing the Platinum Packages (and which features the best 3 or 4 meet & greets). Next up is Soundchecks, including bits 'n' pieces of 'Mr. Speed', 'All The Way', 'The Oath', 'I Stole Your Love', 'Comin' Home' and 'Two Timer'. The fifth documentary is The Theatre Shows, featuring bits from the two theater shows during the 2004 Australian tour which brings back memories of the band's original theater/club days. On The Road is the title of the next documentary, showcasing pretty much the other 22 hours of the day on a typical concert day (flying on the private KISS jet, traveling to each city and venue) as well as off-days (on which you could find the band bowling). And ending the 'Rock the Nation' discs is Fan Testimonials/Credits, which speaks for itself.
"As a very cool bonus, the new DVD — for which post-production was done by San Francisco company MX Entertainment who also worked with acts such as RUSH and the ROLLING STONES on DVD projects — will have Power Vision/Select-A-KISS on 7 songs, which means you can select the camera focusing on one of each band member exclusively, each member appears in his own 'window' and you can navigate from one to another (which is something the STONES already did on three songs on their 'Four Flicks' DVD, obviously it's called Select-A-Stone then)."
The full track listing for the two 'Rock the Nation Live!' discs is as follows:
Disc 1:
01. Intro
02. Love Gun

Taxidermist Gives Eternal Life To Birds (Feb, 1936)
There is something very disturbing about a person who kills and stuffs thousands of animals while proclaiming that he is granting them "Eternal Life". It sort of reminds me of a fanatically religious serial killer who thinks he's actually helping his victims when he kills them.
Taxidermist Gives Eternal Life To Birds
ARMED only with a forked stick, a hunter walked warily through the squat bushes of the San Fernando valley in Southern California the other day. Suddenly he froze in his tracks, warned by a series of rattles that hidden danger lay waiting.
He advanced slowly, saw a Pacific rattle snake lying coiled and ready to strike. With the skill acquired from many such hunts, he pressed the stick down over the snake's neck, stuffed the reptile into a box, and hastened back to his Hollywood studio.
There John Schleisser, famed naturalist-taxidermist—for it was he who captured the deadly reptile—chloroformed the rattler. A few minutes later he could be seen taking exact measurements by making a plaster cast of the body. Then he skinned the rattler, made a mannikin of papier mache duplicating the late deceased, and a few days later fitted the skin, perfectly tanned, back over the artificial body.
Simple though this sounds, the unusual gift of this man is his ability to restore reptiles, birds, and animals to lifelike poses, giving them the appearance of life even after death.
Schleisser for 39 years has been giving life to the dead, at least in appearance. How many thousands of specimens he has captured or killed in far-away parts of the globe not even he can calculate. His "restorations" may be seen in famous museums of the world, from African animals of the famed Count Samuel Teleky's collection in Budapest to Col. Peary's northern Caribou in the New York Museum of Natural History.
But the list does not end here. Walk into the Brooklyn Museum and you will see Canadian moose and wolves to which he has given eternal personalities. In the St. Louis Museum are great pythons and anacondas given permanent form under his skilled hands.
Such an ordinary creature as a barn owl is one of his prized recreations. In this size of bird he removes the skin, duplicates the body with wound excelsior, replaces the skin and paints the features with the natural colors of life. Large birds such as the ostrich he "builds" with papier mache, using the skin and feathers as covering.

Daliah Saper Offers IP Transfer Expertise in CorpNet Article
What happens to your IP when you choose to shut down your business?
In CorpNet's 'Closing a Business Checklist: Ten Steps from Our Experts,' Daliah offers her advice for transferring intellectual property in the event of closure.
Daliah says: "Intellectual property ("IP"), just like all your other property, needs to be properly divided or sold when a business breaks up. It can be hard to value IP, but there are lots of firms that specialize in doing so. Alternatively, one partner may decide to buy the IP from the other partner, in which case, the purchase price should be negotiated as part of the break-up. With respect to social media and website accounts, because they are tied to your trademarks and copyrights, anyone who gets your trademarks and copyrights will also typically acquire any associated online accounts."

Tremulus - One-Shot - Pershing Point Preachers
Check out our One-Shot of tremulus by Sean Preston of Reality Blurs. This session is with players who have never played the system previously and to my knowledge was their first exposure to Lovecraftian role-playing. Accordingly, you are getting a very genuine picture of the first session of play. The play ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger in the hopes that we will pick it up again soon.

this is awesome. The use of color and the look on her face is classic. I can picture her peeking to make sure it's clear. Great work.
Ahhaha she's cute! Her face is definitely the stand out point of this piece, the expression is wonderful.
I had to do the face over and over again. Including move the mouth around to get it right!
It's funny, cuz I know a Lauren Dahl.
Nice pic, too.
I especially love the environment.
I must say this is great and I have to agree with all the comments posted above!
Even the Laurel Dahl remark?!
Thanks, Cygnus.
Whoah, Hish!
I stumbled in here to see if anyone had looked at the request, and it's done! And done so well - I love the colour, the narrow depth-of-field, and the light... I love how it gleams off her blaster!
And Lorin herself looks amazing! There's a real spirit of fun to this portrait, which is just right. There's an 'aww, crap' vibe to it which is hilarious, and sets the imagination running more than a 'gaze upon my bad-assedness' portrait might have. I find myself wondering what sort of situation you were envisioning, here - story?
All in all, another fine (and gratefully accepted) portrait by the great Hisham! :)
You know you don't mess with those guys... :D
