Increase Your Return of Investment with Cheap Printed Pencils
Millions of dollars are constantly invested in promotional campaigns worldwide. The ultimate goal: to reach the widest customers pool with the highest return of investment. With so many choices of promotional products these days, how can you tell which item fits your business needs? Merely relying on an act of faith can be financially detrimental to your investments. If you want to create a lasting impression, invest in cheap promotional pens.
Business managers naturally want to roll out products and services that instantly create a positive impact on consumers. That is why there is a plethora of marketing options that promise to generate the desired results. However, the first step that you need to undertake at this point is to choose what type of product that is cost-effective and at the same time, relevant or useful to your customers. This is where cheap promotional pens come into the picture. They are so common yet very useful for your customers.
Marketing is an essential aspect in all kinds of business. This is the reason why billions of dollars are spent every year just to make sure that business goals are achieved. Promotional efforts alone would not suffice if you do not choose the right item for your marketing campaign.
Due to a lack of empirical knowledge about the effectiveness of a particular promotional item, many business owners rely on traditional forms of marketing but in the end meet huge losses. To avoid this pitfall, invest in cheap printed pencils. Studies have shown that these products are very effective as promotional items because of the following reasons:
- Pens are easily accessible.
- Pens are more visible.
- Pens are more affordable.
- Pens are more useful.
- Pens are more relevant for your customers.
Moreover, the results of the studies also strongly suggest that investing in promotional items like cheap printed pencils should be geared towards the benefits of the product to the customers.
If you want to do better this time in your promotional efforts, it is time to invest in cheap printed pencils. Common sense dictates that pens can stay with a person for as long as six months to one year. That is an ideal duration to expose your brand name to your target audience. This is an advantage that you should never ignore. Cheap promotional pens do not cost that much so you need not worry about investing a huge fortune for all your marketing efforts.

1 Playfulness in Children with Autism I-Ching Lee Ph.D, Department of Occupational Therapy National Cheng Kung University Introduction Occupational scientists perceive the human as an occupational being. For children, play is primary occupation and is crucial to their life and has an important role in their development. Play is well acknowledged to contribute significantly to all aspects of child s development, such as sensorimotor, cognitive, linguistic, emotional, and social domains. While a vest body of research has documented the taxonomies of play and the contributions of play to child s development, less research and scholarly opinion has focused attention on how individual feel in play. Several researchers persuade the need to focus away from the external environment and onto the internal disposition of the player (Barnett, 1990, 1991 a,b; Bundy, 1987, 1989,1997; Clifford, & Bundy, 1989; Lieberman, 1977; Morrison, Metzger, & Pratt, 1996). The engagement and enjoyment of play give children s life meaning and better quality which correspond with their health, adaptation, and sense of well-being. This new approach emphasizes the quality of individual s experience and makes playfulness a focus for comprehending the occupational nature of children. Lieberman s (1965, 1966, 1977) concept of playfulness has valued play for its - 1 -
2 own sake and to focus on unique and subjective experience of children s engagement in play. Lieberman proposed that playfulness consisted of five components and named them as physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, manifest joy, and sense of humor (Lieberman, 1965, 1966, 1977). Physical spontaneity was focused on the coordination and motor activity level of the child during play. Social spontaneity was referred as the qualities of the child s interaction with others during play- cooperating, sharing, leading, responding to others, and taking the initiative. Cognitive spontaneity was emphasized the imaginative quality of the child s play-the degree to which the child might assume different character roles, invent unique games, or use unconventional objects in his or her play. Manifest joy was the expressive nature of the child s play, thus, the child expresses enthusiasm, exuberance, enjoyment, lack of restraint, and vocalizations during play. Sense of humor captured the joking, teasing, and clowning that is often so characteristic in play as well as the child s laughter at humorous stories told by others and the generation of his or her own funny stories for others. Autism is a complex developmental disorder. Children with autism demonstrate the qualitative impairments in the aspects of social interaction, communication, and patterns of behaviors. Numerous literature has indicated the impaired play performance in children with autism. However, most of the previous play literature - 2 -
3 has addressed the explicit and observable behaviors, and less study has focused attention on how individuals feel in play. Occupational scientist believes that there is a need to study the internal disposition of the player which reveals individual s qualitative engagement and enjoyment in play. The purpose of this study is to investigate parental values toward the concepts of playfulness and its potential impact on children s playfulness in children with autism. Participants The parents of 61 subjects were recruited in this study: 27 subjects with autism (mean age month), and 34 controls (mean age month). Controls were chronological age matched. (see Table 1.). Since autism is not commonly diagnosed until the age of 3 years and subjects who are 3 to 5 years, represent an important age period to assess play; children who are 3 years to 5 years, were enrolled for the present research. Only boys were enrolled in the study, not only to control for the possibility of sex-related differences on child s play performance, sex-related differences on parental expectation toward their child s playfulness, but because of the higher prevalence of autism in males. Inclusion Criteria All subjects for this study were recruited from the urban area of Tainan City. The subject s primary language is Mandarin/Chinese. In this study, boys with autism - 3 -
4 were referred to as boys who received a psychiatric diagnosis of autistic disorder based on the criteria for diagnosis set forth in DSM IV (APA, 1994), and were diagnosed by the special interdisciplinary team of clinicians in the general hospital. The introductory brochure was distributed to the parents of potential subjects as reference to make the decision of participating. The control group of boys without disabilities consisted of normally developing boys without disabilities, who were recruited from a day-care center/kindergarten in Tainan. The child s normal development was judged by his parent in several screening questions that indicated that the child demonstrated no psychiatric, psychological, physiological, or neurological problems. Additionally, the child received no special therapeutic services at the time, and was not taking prescription medications (e.g., for hyperactivity, seizures). Exclusion Criteria For both groups, children with symptoms associated with organic brain dysfunction (e.g., seizures), orthopedic problems, hearing loss, or gross visual deficits were excluded. Instrumentation Lieberman s playfulness instrument consisted of 10 item with an additional 2 items asking how bright and how attractive the child was. The instrument comprises - 4 -
5 five components which represent the traits proposed to manifest playfulness: physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, manifest joy, and sense of humor. Each of these traits arise two questions, one reflecting quantitative aspect (i.e., the frequency of appearance of that behavior or characteristic) and the other qualitative aspect. Barnett (1990) revised Lieberman s playfulness scale and termed it the Children s Playfulness Scale (CPS). Barnett preserved five traits of playfulness and general playfulness factor posited by Lieberman. The CPS that consists of 23 items was used in this study to measure the level of child s playfulness. Clancy autism behavior scale was a 14-item scale that can be completed by people who know the child best, usually the parents of the child. Based on the daily observation of the child, the parents answered how frequently the child performs particular autistic-like behavior on a 3-point scale. Total score was computed and the higher score the child obtained, the severer this child demonstrated autistic-like characteristics. Procedure The parents of 61 subjects had received personal explanation and orientation about the nature and purpose of the study, and their written consent were obtained. The parents were asked to complete the questionnaire of Children Playfulness Scale (CPS), Clancy autism behavior scale, and demographic information. On Children - 5 -
6 Playfulness Scale, the parents were asked to indicate on 5-point Likert scale about (1) how important they perceive their children can show the particular characteristic in play (1=most important, 5=not important at all), and (2) how likely their children actually demonstrate the particular characteristic in play (1=most likely, 5=not of the least likely). Data analysis SPSS 12.0 statistic software package was used to analysis data. Independent t tests, Mann-Whitney tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression were administered in this study. Results & Discussion The analysis of demographic data revealed that between two groups, the mean age, the number of children in the family, the child s rank in the siblings, and the mother s education level were not significantly different. Only, father s educational level was significantly different between two groups (Table 1). According to parents rating, children with autism obtained higher scores (i.e. not likely perform playfulness) than normal children in all aspects of playfulness, which are, the physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, manifest joy, and sense of humor (Table 2). The results revealed that children with autism showed less playful than normal children in play. Domain of physical spontaneity measures - 6 -
7 child s whole body coordination, motor proficiency, mostly the gross motor focused. As known, children with autism might not have any motor deficits, but when they are doing gross motor play, they usually perform self-stimulatory behaviors, such as self-spinning, circle-running, or jumping up and down without purpose. Thus, it is not surprising that the group of children with autism obtained higher score on domain of physical spontaneity than normal children do. As well known, children with autism have difficulty in socialization. The domain of social spontaneity in CPS measures child s social initiation, sharing, cooperation, proper interaction, and leadership, which are the autistic children s weakest characteristics. Thus, the poor performance in this group was also expected. The result also indicated that children with autism perform poorly on the characteristics of cognitive spontaneity. Domain of cognitive spontaneity in CPS measures child s creativity in developing his/her own playing styles, playing objects that are not toys, different roles-playing, showing interest in various activities. Even though children with autism usually insist on their own way of doing things, and commonly fix their attention on tiny part of objects or playing objects that are not designed for play, result in getting good scores on some items of cognitive spontaneity. However, they had severe difficulty in pretending other roles playing, and were restrained in their own stereotypes interests or activities, leads to the poor - 7 -
8 performance on the rest of items in this domain. Thus, the mean score of cognitive spontaneity between two groups reach significant difference. Domains of manifest joy and sense of humor measures child s exuberance, enthusiasm, emotional expression, making jokes, comprehending teases, telling funny stories, sharing incongruity humors, or laughing. Children with autism usually demonstrate difficulty in mind-reading, understanding abstract thinking or logical humor, and expressing appropriate content of conversation. Thus, it is common that the group of children with autism had poor performance on these two domains than normal controls did. It is interesting to note that no significant difference was found on parental values towards playfulness in two groups (Table 2). This finding indicates that parents of children with autism did not have different perception, different expectation, or modified their beliefs on how playful their children should emerge. This means that, regardless the dysfunction of their children have, parents of children with autism have proper value toward their children s playfulness, they respect their children s well-being and expect their children could show out their inner disposition in play, as parents of normal controls do. It is hope that children with autism in this study can grow up healthily in a well supporting family with proper parenting presented. In order to find out which factor affects children s playfulness, the multiple - 8 -
9 linear regressions were applied. The factors included in this analysis were the child s chronological age, number of children in the family, child s rank in siblings, the mother s educational level, the father s educational level, the parental perception toward playfulness(i.e. mean score of CPS), and the total score of Clancy scale. The results of model were showed (Table 3). The result also revealed that the power of prediction (R 2 value) among these factors was not satisfied. Author suggest that there maybe some other factors, which closely associate with child s playfulness, had not been considered in this study. The high R 2 value in equations were only showed for the total score of Clancy in group of children with autism R 2 =0.433 & on the domain of social spontaneity and sense of humor. To advanced clarity, the one-way ANOVA was administered and the results also indicated that the total score of Clancy in group of children with autism was significantly related to the domain score of social spontaneity and sense of humor on CPS Table 4. This might further support that the severity of the symptom in children with autism might specifically affect their performance on the aspect of social spontaneity and sense of humor. Conclusion Even though there are rich literature documented the knowledge on play, few research has focused attention on how individual feel in play. The personal - 9 -
10 experiences of play vary for each individual. Individual s experiences, motivations, meanings, forms and opportunities of play are unique, subjective, and change dynamically across time and contexts. Occupational scientists concern autistic children s ability to actively pursue and orchestrate play. Therefore, the quality aspect of individual s enjoyment and engagement in occupation (i.e. playfulness) should be emphasized to better comprehend the children s occupational nature, and to promote the optimal status of autistic children s health, wellness, and living quality. Play and playfulness also serve as the effective medium for therapy. Hess & Bundy (2003) concluded the high relationship between playfulness and coping skills in typically developing and severe emotional disturbance adolescents and further suggested the idea of using play and playfulness to improve coping skills. In this study, the parental values toward playfulness and the potential impact on children s playful performance were provided as the reference for professionals to develop the adequate therapeutic program, to address this important occupational nature, furthermore, to promote the psychological well-being and living quality of this population of children with autism

It's price has dropped by $7 million since we last saw it for sale.
When it comes to buying cars online, Craigslist offers the widest and strangest selection around. You can find everything from a piece of Mustang history to an insultingly fake Bugatti Veyron for sale there. Craigslist is the gift to gearheads that keeps on giving, and as such we're going to start sharing our Craziest Craigslist Finds of the Week. First up in the series is the IAD (Intense Automotive Design) Land Shark, aka the Mosler MT900 GTR XX. Avid readers, do you recognize this car?
The last time the IAD Land Shark graced the pages of CarBuzz it was listed on eBay for an astounding $7.5 million. That was a few years ago and now that price has dropped precipitously and settled at $550,000. What makes this car worth half a million? This custom job is based off of the Mosler MT900, an American supercar powered by an LS1 V8 making 350 horsepower. That's not an overly impressive figure but the car weighed in at just 2,590 pounds. So what is so different about the IAD Land Shark, aka the GTR XX? Back when the car was on eBay it was said to kick out 4,400+ horsepower and hit 305 mph. Both of those claims sound like pure crap and indeed those figures aren't even mentioned in the new Craigslist ad.
All you get in terms of engine info is that the IAD Land Shark is powered by a V8 "RHS LS Tall Deck Race Block Twin-Turbo Engine" and that the horsepower is adjustable. Cool. Another fun tidbit is that, despite being manual out the box, the seller is offering a seven-speed automatic (complete with paddle shifters) for purchase. Other than that, well we do learn that the car has 1,800 miles on it and was in the movie "The Green Hornet." Oh, and it's apparently really popular at auto shows. Seriously, those last two things were both listed as selling points. They aren't the worst selling points in the world but normally supercars sell themselves. Speaking of selling, why is the owner trying to offload such a magnificent and rare beast?
Apparently the seller needs the cash to fund two new supercar projects. Luckily you don't exactly need $550,000 to buy this car as this is a motivated seller who is "OPEN TO ALL OFFERS." Hell, there's even the option to do a partial trade should you have a vintage racing Porsche or Ferrari you don't want anymore. As Craigslist cars go, the IAD Land Shark is certainly crazy. It's not often that a one-off supercar with a history shrouded in mystery pops up for sale in the SF Bay Area autos section. As the post says, "This is truly the car of Silicon Valley Kings!"

Direct Alteration of Brain Cells Produces New Memories
Researchers led by Norman M. Weinberger, a research professor of neurobiology & behavior at UC Irvine, have shown that specific memories can be made by. They did this by directly altering brain cells in the cerebral cortex, which produces the predicted specific memory. According to the researchers, this is the first evidence that memories can be created by direct cortical manipulation.
During the experiment, Professor Weinberger and colleagues played a particular tone to lab rodents. They then stimulated the nucleus basalis deep within the rodent's brains, releasing acetylcholine (ACh), a chemical involved in memory formation. That procedure increased the number of brain cells responding to the specific tone.
The next day, the scientists played many sounds to the animals and found that their respiration spiked when they recognized the particular tone, showing that specific memory content was created by brain changes directly induced during the experiment. Created memories have the same features as natural memories including long-term retention.
Memories are Made of This
"Disorders of learning and memory are a major issue facing many people and since we've found not only a way that the brain makes memories, but how to create new memories with specific content, our hope is that our research will pave the way to prevent or resolve this global issue," said Weinberger. He is also a fellow with the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory and the Center for Hearing Research at UC Irvine.
The creation of new memories by directly changing the cortex is the culmination of several years of research in Weinberger's lab implicating the nucleus basalis and ACh in brain plasticity and specific memory formation. Previously, the authors had also shown that the strength of memory is controlled by the number of cells in the auditory cortex that process a sound.

For the first time in several years, the pace of economic growth in Oklahoma has slowed, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The quarterly review showed a dip in the energy, manufacturing and aerospace sectors, but the losses were more pronounced in rural areas compared to urban.
Chad Wilkerson, economist and Oklahoma City branch executive of the Federal Reserve Bank, tells The Journal Record that although the Sooner State's employment growth has outpaced the nation's in the last few years, payroll grew only 0.7 percent from July 2012. Oklahoma has the nation's 11th-lowest unemployment rate, at 5.3 percent, according to the bank's analysis.
While Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas steadily added jobs, rural areas reportedly saw employment fall. Slowdowns in the energy sector, manufacturing and government jobs are the primary reasons for lower employment in rural areas.
First Family FCU CEO David Dykes says he's not overly concerned by the report.
"We are a low-income designated credit union, and the three counties we serve have a household income well below the U.S. median household income," notes Dykes. "And the three counties we serve always tend to be in the top 15 counties with the highest unemployment, so this is pretty normal for us."
According to Dykes, Native American tribes are big employers in the area.
"They're good community neighbors. They're very involved and do a lot for the community, including sponsoring local events such as rodeos," says Dykes.
Dykes says the tribes have purchased a number of businesses, including gas stations, malls, a country club; even a rehabilitation center, and these businesses create job opportunities. In addition to the Native American tribes, the energy sector is still a significant employer, as well as a local gas bottling company. Additionally, Dykes says many of their residents commute to Tulsa for work.
"We just really don't experience too many highs and lows in this area. If the country is doing great economically, we don't necessarily see notable economic development. And by the same token, when the recession hit, it didn't really impact us," notes Dykes.
"Our members are of modest means, and many live paycheck to paycheck, so they are used to living on tighter budgets," continues Dykes.
Even though First Family FCU serves a low-income demographic, they continue to experience steady loan growth.
"We're running about 15 percent ahead this year compared to last year," says Dykes. "For the last five years, we've had double-digit loan growth."
Last month, Dykes said he was a little worried about liquidity because the credit union was 94 percent loaned out, and deposits weren't keeping pace. To generate more deposits, Dykes said the credit union ran a promotion – a 2 percent CD special for one year, with a minimum of $500 and a maximum amount of $1,000. The promotion ran from Aug. 20 through Sept. 11.
"The theme of the promotion centered on Labor Day – you work hard for your money, so let your money work for you," explains Dykes.
Dykes said the promotion worked really well, and even helped the credit union attract new members. Today, Dykes says the credit union is about 90 percent loaned out, and their loan portfolio is performing well, with a delinquency rate of less than 1 percent.
Serving a low-income demographic has its unique challenges, but Dykes says it's something they've learned to deal with. The credit union, he says, has tailored their appropriately priced product and service mix to meet the needs of the community.
To motivate members to develop good savings habits, Dykes says the credit union comes up with clever campaigns such as last year's "Change for Life" campaign. According to Dykes, the campaign was rolled out around tax season. A significant percentage of the credit union's membership, he says, is eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The credit union encouraged members to save whatever change they received in their income tax return. For example, if their return was $3,500.98, the credit union encouraged them to put at least 98 cents in a savings account."
"We want our member's to get in the habit of saving. Even if they're only putting a small amount of change into a savings account, it's the first step toward building a savings habit," he says.
Banks have a strong presence in the counties First Family FCU serves, but according to Dykes, they've "ruffled the feathers" of some local bankers. While the credit union is able to compete on price, their biggest competitive advantage is service.
"My predecessor was huge on member service, and that is something I too believe strongly in. We invest a great deal in educating and training our staff to treat members like the owners they are," he says. "Borrowing on the words spoken by one of the presenters at the League's Leadership Conference, it's important to 'treat members like they are a guest in your home'."
At least one member of First Family FCU has gotten the message, as according to Dykes, he often comes to the credit union "just to hang out."
"Some of our staff might be uncomfortable with the frequency in visits by this particular member, but I always stress the importance of treating our members well because it pays off," adds Dykes.
First Family FCU has three branches, with 34 employees serving 11,000 members. The credit union is $50 million in assets.

Adam Gilchrist
I loved the way he scored 80 something in 30 something balls against the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL 2 semi-final. I was real upset when he got out for nothing in the final match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. But who cares, Deccan Chargers won!! Yeah!!! And Gilly was smiling most of the time, though his team's chances were slim. I was thrilled to hear that in the news this morning[could not stay awake till the match got over].

He understood what I meant, and went upstairs to finish his project. I left the paper sitting by my computer. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a paper piling hoarding type personality. Soon my little cartoon demonstration was buried in an ever changing pile of debris.
A few days ago, I was sorting through this pile and noticed that I had a secret collaborator on my cartoon:
(this is really worth clicking on)
I don't quite know what the punchline is, but notice how in the second frame there is a carefully drawn speech bubble. The framed dog picture is pretty priceless too. I guess my 4 year old daughter likes drawing cartoons as well!

A remastered version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, entitled Modern Warfare Remastered, will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC alongside Infinite Warfare, only available with the purchase of either the Legacy, Digital Deluxe or Legacy Pro edition of Infinite Warfare. The remaster is developed by Raven Software, who developed multiplayer modes for several Call of Duty titles in the past, and executive produced by Infinity Ward. The remaster will come with the original campaign mode, as well as 10 maps for multiplayer; instead of the default 16 maps that the game originally had. It is set to have the same weapons, killstreaks, and game modes that were featured in the original game. Activision has confirmed that the movement system will stay true to the original game and that the remaster will also have dedicated servers.
An extended trailer for Modern Warfare Remastered's campaign mode was shown right after the Infinite Warfare gameplay reveal at E3 2016. After the trailer, it was revealed that PlayStation 4 users who pre-purchased (as opposed to pre-ordered) an edition of Infinite Warfare that comes with the remaster will be able to play the game's campaign 30 days earlier, as part of Sony's exclusivity deal with Activision.

Environmentalists' Views: Four questions PolyMet won't answer
In a recent speech to the mining industry, U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan said copper-nickel mining can be done in a way that is profitable and also safe for the surrounding environment ("Nolan: Minnesota can have mining and clean water," April 13).
While few would argue this would be a tremendous victory for Minnesota, even after PolyMet spent over a decade and millions of dollars on environmental review, several gaps in the amount of available information remain. Before Minnesota taxpayers can feel comfortable adopting Nolan's rosy view of this untested sulfide mining company's project, four very important questions still need to be answered.
One, will pollution flow north to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, south to Lake Superior, or both?
For years, PolyMet claimed polluted water escaping the site would flow only south, toward Lake Superior. Independent review of the project suggested it is likely pollution also would flow north into the Boundary Waters. Gov. Mark Dayton has made it clear he opposes any sulfide mine that could jeopardize the Boundary Waters, and polling suggests a vast majority of Minnesotans share this view. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has asked the state to gather the data required to adequately answer this question. While the real risk to Lake Superior seems to be getting glossed over, the people of Minnesota need to know if the Boundary Waters are at risk as a result of PolyMet.
Two, will the state of Minnesota follow its rules prohibiting mines requiring long-term treatment of polluted water after closure?
Minnesota's rules for copper-nickel mines were designed to prevent long-term pollution by requiring that mines be "maintenance-free" at closure. PolyMet's own models suggest it could take centuries after the final ore is extracted for the site to become maintenance-free. Will the state enforce the law? Or will regulators help PolyMet skirt the law by allowing the mine to stay technically "open" for centuries after mining has stopped?
Three, will the state require an upfront damage deposit sufficient to protect taxpayers and the environment?
The single-largest risk this mine presents to most Minnesotans is the financial cost of cleaning up the site once the mining company leaves or cleaning up a pollution spill the likes of which we have seen recently in Colorado and British Columbia. The state requires the company to put up a damage deposit to help prevent these costs from falling on taxpayers. But the mining company has been adamant that the amount it be asked to put forth can be determined at a later date. Will the people of Minnesota be at risk for paying for cleanup costs? This is another question the recently completed Environmental Impact Statement failed to answer.
And four, will regulators require PolyMet to show how it'll compensate for thousands of acres of lost wetlands?
PolyMet's proposal, if permitted, would lead to the largest single destruction of wetlands in modern Minnesota history. More than 900 acres of high-value wetlands could be dug up. The company has a plan to replace or restore equivalent wetlands; however, PolyMet may drain the water from up to 8,000 additional acres of wetlands. PolyMet is required by law to replace these wetlands, too, but has not come up with a plan for how it would do so. Will PolyMet compensate the state for thousands of acres of lost wetlands? This is another question the Environmental Impact Statement did not answer.
It is tempting to buy into the optimism provided by the sulfide mining industry that the mine can be run without any risk to the people of Minnesota. But when you turn over even the first few rocks, the prospects for this project become increasingly more complicated. The taxpayers of Minnesota will ultimately be on the hook for any residual damage created by this untested form of mining. As such, it is important that these questions be answered before any permitting decisions are made.
Scott Strand is executive director of the St. Paul-based Minnesota Center For Environmental Advocacy (mncenter.org). Paul Danicic is executive director of the Minneapolis-based Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness (friends-bwca.org). And Paul Austin is executive director of Minneapolis-based Conservation Minnesota (conservationminnesota.org). The three organizations were the founders of the Mining Truth Coalition.

My personal opinion, the are too extreme. I would straighten the corner and pull the walls to a more 'normal' proportion.
If the lens is narrow for the picture, I make a MANUAL panorama, in this case about 4 pictures from left to right, first bottom, second middle, third the top and sky.
These picture I stitch with a free program called Microsoft Ice, most of the time with a very good result.
My fave is the first one - you've kept the detail under the lintels well, I like that - I'd be really interested to see what would happen if you brought the exposure down a little. The sky is a little washed-out for me. I'm with 'splashy' here; try to straighten it up a bit and see how it looks. I do like the b/w conversion.
Well done.
I would have two tips for you:
• Straight lines are a must in more serious architecture shots. This is not
an extreme opinion for someone who wants to improve. Get familiar with
the Keystone adjustment tool would be your next step AFTER…
•Foreseeing more room around your subject because the Keystone tool
will cost you some frame real estate… may be a lot, like in the case of
the two photographs presented here.
I like the toning in your rendition… old style!
Nice efforts, I would suggest stepping back a bit if it's possible to get the entire structure within the frame.

The Iron Age in Britain
The period of human history when the use of iron became widespread is called the Iron Age. In Britain it begins around 800 BC and ends in AD 43 with the Roman invasion. There is a longer Iron Age in Scotland, which was not conquered by the Romans. The ancient Greeks and Romans called the Iron Age people of western Europe 'Celts'. Many of these Celtic peoples spoke related languages and created similar abstract art styles, suggesting that intermarriage, trade and other links brought communities from the Atlantic to the Black Sea into regular contact. Although Britain and Ireland were never explicitly referred to as Celtic by the Greeks and Romans, they were part of this world of shared art and languages. Iron Age peoples did not write down their own histories. This means that archaeologists must use the objects that these peoples left behind to reconstruct their lives. This exhibition contains a diverse collection of objects from across Britain. Each community used different objects and held different beliefs. Why not visit your local museum to learn more about how Iron Age people lived in your area?

Since his 2013 album release, not much has been heard from John Mayer, until now. On Friday, Mayer released the first "wave" of his album, "The Search for Everything." This first part of the album features four songs, including his single "Love on the Weekend." The plan is to continue to release waves of four songs at a time until the completed album is out. Mayer was quoted in a Rolling Stone interview saying, "The price of admission is four songs. If you don't like these, don't get the next four. But if I've engendered some kind of trust that you think I'm onto something, get the next four, and come along with me on every single wave."
Here, we have a quick breakdown and review of the first four songs:
Moving On and Getting Out
The first thing that this song made me think of was Michael Buble's "It's a Beautiful Day," but instead of wanting to dance in the streets, Mayer just makes you want to hold a middle finger up to your ex while nodding along to his groovy beat. Any song about being happy about a break up makes me smile; however, Mayer's classic song lyric along with a beat that he's never really experimented with before seem in conflict with each other in the beginning before finding a rhythm halfway through.
PSA: John Mayer is turning 40 this year. Yeah, the big 40. So how is it that he is singing a song about how he is still changing? And for a song about changing, it sounded very suspiciously like everything else he has ever released. I was very unenthused about this song for the entirety of it.
Love on the Weekend
Mayer's previously released single is an ode to the struggles and the love in a long distance relationship. The song is almost like running away and taking in every moment of time together. It reminds me of Mayer's very old sound. The imagery in his song is very strong and seems like the perfect song
You're Gonna Live Forever in Me
This song is the opening to a super bittersweet story. You'll get emotionally attached to the characters as they fall in love and when one of them dies, you will cry for a very long time. And I mean a very long time. This is the sweetest song on the EP, and I can't wait to see all of the wedding videos on YouTube of people dancing to this song. First dance material.
All in all, the wave left me unenthused, but not entirely disappointed. It seemed that there was nothing new to expect.

About Me
I like to hang out with friends, play soccer, and longboard. I got one year of college out of the way in the subject of Professional Flight or to become a pilot. Also, besides flying, I love to go SCUBA diving.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because I have a testimony of the restored Gospel on the earth today. I have been raised up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints my whole life and have enjoyed being a part of it. However, I am not a Mormon because I have been raised up as one, but because I know that the Book of Mormon is another testiment of Jesus Christ and that through Joseph Smith the Lord was able to restore His church and the Priesthood on the earth again. I know that through Christs teachings, or the Gospel, we can really experience the happiness and the full potential God has for us in this life and the life to come.
How I live my faith
I live my faith just like any person would live their life, just with the morals and values the gospel teaches. I have had a couple of roles in the church. I have been incharge of many young men activities and also did heaps of service around the community.

In diagnosing skin conditions, acupuncturists consider physical, emotional, and environmental factors. By taking the pulse, asking in-depth questions, and observing the tongue and skin, your acupuncturist will diagnose the condition according to its internal and external factors.
Skin diseases are generally caused by internal disharmonies, such as lack of Qi and blood, or environmental influences, such as wind, dryness, dampness, and heat. Stress, diet, and the individual's constitution also contribute to these patterns.
Two common problems often treated are acne and eczema.
Likewise, acupuncture can also be effective in treating other skin conditions, such as, psoriasis, shingles, vitiligo, hives, warts, rosacea, and dermatitis.

Acupuncture, Alternative Medicine … New Growth in Spring. Living Stress Free.
In Nature, Spring brings on new growth. New leaves and flowers bud, the chirping of birds can be heard more frequently, our activity increases and the amount of daylight is on the rise as the days grow longer than night. Warmth increases. Usually, there is more wind — more energy.
This environment gives us all more opportunity after the cold of winter. If one has been balanced and rooted during winter, the transition into Spring is easier. Otherwise it can be turbulent. Without roots a tree cannot grow, so too for a person. To grow and evolve we need to be rooted in a healthy lifestyle and attitude, rooted in spirit and the Natural Flow of Energy.
Acupuncture maintains the positive upward energy flow so that when there are bumps in life, they are more easily overcome. Some of us did not make the time to rest and rejuvenate during the winter. Thus, our stored energy reserves are somewhat depleted. Acupuncture will also restore your energy reserves. When one is in a restful environment, it is easier to rest. Seems like a no brainer; yet many live hectic lifestyles and don't get the rest needed. And by that I mean the quality of rest we need. Acupuncture helps this.
It is important to allow and make time for new growth. This is the Natural movement of Spring. Energetically, without Spring's new growth, the fullness and joy that is naturally abundant and prevalent in Summer, is diminished. This leads to a depressed emotional state, decreased energy, a decrease in the sense of wellness, and the beginning of illness in a variety of forms. Just like a fire needs the proper amount and the proper condition of wood to flourish, so do human beings need the correct amount of Wood Energy, otherwise known as Spring Qi, to flourish. Acupuncture treatment provides this energy, which should be neither too damp nor too dry.
When our energy is balanced we feel balanced, in tune, energetic, happy, stress free. Our relationships are smoother, the bumps and stressors of life roll off. We feel free in the midst of our responsibilities, goals and aspirations. When our energy is out of balance, diminished, blocked, too tight, too hot or too cold, too contained or not contained enough, then we can and will feel more stressed and generally not well. Some of the symptoms that tend to show when these elements and energies are out of balance are:
The positive states of balanced energy, especially in Spring, are:
Chronic Conditions most effectively treated at this time of year are:
When our energy is balanced, flowing and abundant all of Life feels good. We have a direction, warmth, joy, friends, positive relationships, a sense of inner peace and integration. We will have a feeling of inspiration and the sense of being able to handle whatever happens during the day and year. Balanced energy is necessary for a Balanced Mind and Bodily Wellness.
Try Acupuncture. Realize the benefits. The motto of Spring — Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Wishing everyone a beautiful and blessed day.
