2017 marked the 30th anniversary of the Erasmus Student Exchange programme organised by the European Commission. The representation of European Commission in Spain approached Canela to ask for ideas on how best to celebrate this anniversary with the intention of celebrating the idea of European Citizenship. After investigating testimonials from ex Erasmus students one recurring theme was that many of them had fallen in love during the programme with someone from a different country and had gone on to start a family with that person. So we decided to look for some these “erasmusbabies” and bring them and their families together in an event to celebrate 30 years of the Erasmus Programme. We began with a creative call to action in social media channels with the hashtag #Erasmusbabies. We also created a Facebook competition looking for these couples with the prize of a trip to the city where they first met. In addition, we sent to the media information about the Erasmus programme and offered them interviews with families of “erasmusbabies”. In just three weeks of the social media campaign we hit 1,302,850 people and achieved a total of 18,882 clicks on the link to the campaign. 300 plus families came forward to participate in the competition. We selected 30 of these families to attend the 30th anniversary event in Madrid. 4 of the 5 major national news channels, Antena3, Cuatro, Informativos RTVE and LaSexta, attended the event, as well as local television TeleMadrid, news agency EFE and the radio stations Cope and Ser. More than 70 national media covered the news of the #erasmusbabies and the 30 year anniversary of the Erasmus Programme, the coverage included 20 interviews with families and the European Comission spokespeople. In recognition of this campaign Canela was nominated for a SABRE Awards in the category of Institutional Image 2018.

Malta is the most southerly European country, a tiny island situated in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. Six islands make up the archipelago of Malta, but only three of them are inhabited. The island is an incredibly popular tourist destination, due no small part to it’s numerous recreational areas, architectural and historical monuments. It is home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and seven Megalithic Temples, which happen to be some of the oldest free-standing structures on the entire planet. The fantastic weather helps, too. The average year round temperature is 23 degrees, and even in Winter, it rarely gets much below 13 degrees. With all that sun, it’s handy that Malta has a beautiful array of beaches and ports to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. It also offers astounding sea views, and perfect clear waters for a spot of scuba diving. The climate is enviable all year round. December in London only has around 37 hours of sunshine, while Malta has an average of 160. Sliema is located on the Northeast coast of Malta, and is an excellent spot for shopping, restaurants and night life. It’s estimated around 15,000 live in Sliema, and it contains Malta’s largest and most modern shopping districts. Close to the capital Valleta, Sliema has emerged as an affluent resort for Valetta residents who line the coast line with townhouses and villas. The islands in Malta cover 316 square kilometres, altogether making up an area smaller than Philadelphia. There are no permanent rivers or lakes in Malta. Citizens of full European (EFTA, EEA) Member Countries are able to live and work in Malta without a visa or work permit.This includes: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Standard of living in Malta is considered good. The permanent resident scheme entitles property owners to pay income tax at an unusually low rate of 15%. There are no annual rates or property taxes, whilst for a non permanent resident tax rates average around 23% including tax and social security contributions (based on a salary circa €20,000 gross per year meaning a monthly net income of €1250pm. Malta is a tax efficient location for businesses, so is home to a broad range of financial, support services and ICT companies, complimented by excellent telecommunication and air connection networks. Opportunities are excellent! Sliema, being a major tourism spot on the Northeast coast, attracts thousands of visitors as well as locals, and is extremely popular for beautiful beaches, restaurants, cafes and long walks along the promenades. The island has two principal languages, Maltese and English, and Malta has a strong cultural heritage with a number of grand architectural achievements to explore. The St. James Centre for Creativity is a recently restored fortification which displays contemporary works or art alongside the original rough walls and brickwork of the old building. These refurbished buildings blend past and present, with frequent exhibitions creating a thriving cultural scene at the heart of the island. There are cultural attractions right across the island ranging from museums, heritage sites, including art, military, crafts, churches, palaces, gardens and archaeological sites. Crime rates are low, children can play outside in absolute safety, all areas are safe to walk or drive around at night, and it is not unusual for locals to leave their front door key in the lock! The healthcare system is fast establishing itself as an international centre for health, medical and dental tourism. It is free for everyone in Malta and therefore no mandatory system of contribution for the state system. The educational system is also excellent, and offers numerous private, international or public schools as well as a number of institutes and a university. Education is compulsory between the ages of 5-16, expats living in Malta are able to enrol their children in a local school, but due to state schools often teaching in Maltese, parents tend to educate them privately. The currency in Malta is the Euro, and compared with other European countries, the island is relatively inexpensive and offers good value for money. A dinner without drinks in a moderate restaurant will likely cost just sort of 20 euros. As well the range of cultural attractions, Malta’s popularity as a tourist destination means there is a wide range of bars and restaurants, and because English is a principle language, most bar and restaurant staff speak it, and menus often come in a variety of languages. Maltese cuisine is mostly Mediterranean, with the traditional dishes generally taking some time to prepare. For that reason, there are restaurants all over the island offering international cuisine in addition to local delicacies, so there really is something for everyone. Octopus and squid are very popular on local menus, and in the Autumn, when the rains come, many restaurants make use of the abundance of snails, serving them cooked in olive oil and butter. Another local favourite is rabbit, cooked with wine and garlic. All are definitely worth sampling, if you are feeling adventurous. Being an island, there is of course a heavy focus on fish in many of the menus, and for fans of seafood there are many fantastic restaurants to visit, the Zonqor Point Restaurant and the Bouquet Garni being two of the highest rated eateries with fantastic seafood platters on offer. After a good meal, there’s plenty of night life to enjoy on the island. Even outside of tourist times, when the events calendar gets a bit leaner, there is still a wide range of events to enjoy. The Malta Arts Festival is a must see, and Baroque and Opera Festivals are fantastic experiences for fans. The International Jazz Festival held in July perfectly blends the wonderful weather with a long session of relaxed and chilled out jazz. There are also major music concerts every summer, attracting locals and tourists to see international artists. Classical music and Band music are both incredibly popular on the island, with a long heritage among the Maltese and a range of festivals and concerts taking place in some of the stunning historic venues the island offers. Theatre and cinema are both well represented, with the Manoel Theatre being a wonderful venue, and the Gardens of San Anton Palace hosting an open-air Shakespeare rendition every July. A range of blockbuster, art-house and re-releases feature prominently in the island’s cinemas. For something a little louder, Malta is also home to a massive clubbing scene, with world renowned DJ’s frequently playing great weekends throughout the year. The scene thrives all year around, with a variety of venues, large and small, offering house DJs with free admission. The main action is in Paceville, where there are clubs and bars in abundance. The small size of the island means that you are never too far away from any of these events, and if you choose to drive, it’s nearly impossible to get lost, and the friendly locals are always happy to lend a hand. Malta is 122 square miles in size, and is supported by an extensive network of buses and a range of readily available taxis. A new public transport system introduced in 2011 increased the frequency and reliability of buses, with most leaving from a vast terminal in the centre of Malta’s capital, Valletta and departing frequently to locations all over the island. The only airport that serves the island is Malta International Airport, which is only 5km from Valletta. In addition, three times a day, a floatplane service links the sea terminal in Grand Harbour to Mgarr harbour on the island of Gozo. With the incredible weather and astounding sea views, naturally there are plenty of opportunities to dine al fresco in one of the many romantic palazzos or bustling harbour restaurants. Mentioned before, Zongor Point and Bouquet Garni are both excellent spots for a quiet, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic sea food. Not to be missed is the Tarragon, the top overall winner of the Malta 2014 Restaurant Awards. The restaurant offers fantastic sea views and a fantastic al fresco dining area. The Medina is renowned for it’s atmosphere, a small restaurant hidden in the streets of Mdina in an original Norman residence. Outdoor dining at it’s finest. The island has an abundance of bars and clubs. As well as Maltese bars, there are an unusually wide range of English and Irish pubs spread across Malta, such as The Londoner Pub and the Scotsman Pub. Muddy Waters is an institution in Malta, standing out as a relaxed Rock and Blues club with frequent gigs and a unique atmosphere. For something more reserved, Cafe Jubilee offers delicious food as well as a range of fine wines and beers in a quiet venue, off the beaten path. Malta’s thriving nightclub scene means that there are no shortage of clubs to visit. For a vodka bar mixed with a busy nightclub, check out Qube Vodka Bar. Plush Nightclub is another busy venue in the heart Paceville, surrounded by many other clubs. Huggins & Friends is a strange mix between a bar and a club, always busy with a young and not so young crowd, it has a terrace area out front that the crowd regularly spills out in to. The cost of living in Sliema, or Malta in general is considered very reasonable and is substantially less than living in the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Cyprus.

If you've ever played a role-playing game, you'll know that the first thing you learn about the game mechanics is the basic stats of the game. In Dungeons & Dragons there are six basic numbers, in Rifts there are eight. Many other systems have a differing view on this. In Hydraforge, there will be ten. Now don't be afraid. Most other systems have several basic stats, and then lots of other numbers along with them. Hydraforge has only these ten, and they will drive almost everything about the game mechanics, so pay attention. Ten scores, divided into two groups: Physical Prowess, and Mental Prowess. This installment is about the first group and how it affects your character. Five scores add up to make your character's physical prowess score: Strength, Speed, Stamina, Aim and Balance. These five scores average at ten, which makes an average PP score of fifty. When creating a character, your game master (GM) may opt to generate these scores in any way they choose, but I encourage all GMs to use a point system to generate them, as that will create the most balanced character. This score represents raw power, how much your character can lift, carry, push, pull or hold. A low strength score means that your character is physically weak, but not necessarily lacking in prowess. A high STR score will grant your character a bonus to hit and damage when making melee attacks. Any time your character does something requiring speed, whether it be running, fighting, or trying to disarm a trap, it will require raw speed. Sleight of hand, juggling, swordplay, and many other skills that require raw speed will be improved by this score. During combat situations, having a high SPD score will allow your character to act faster by granting a bonus to initiative rolls. At some point, your character will be tested physically. This score determines how much punishment your character can take before they either need a rest, or die as a result of their injuries. Resistance to poisons, diseases, injury and physical exertion is measured by this score. What die or dice are used to roll your character's maximum hit points is determined by your STA score. Firing a bow, throwing stones, or hitting a specific target with anything are all skills that require a good AIM score. Sharpshooters, assassins, thieves and archers will want to have a high AIM score. Having a high AIM score will grant a bonus to hit and damage when making ranged attacks. Maintaining their footing while crossing a river, performing acrobatics, and walking a tightrope are a few examples of tasks that require a good BAL score. Characters rely on their BAL score to help them dodge attacks and stay on their feet. Having a high BAL score will also grant them a bonus to hit and damage when making finesse attacks. Any time a character attempts a task, that task or "skill" will be judged against one of their ten primary ability scores. Each ability score has a bonus (or penalty if the score is low enough) that will be added to their die roll when making the skill check. Some skills or challenges may require a check against the character's PP or MP scores. These checks are a bit different than ordinary skill checks, and will be covered in the Skills section of Hydraforge. Nothing written here is set in stone yet. If you see a problem with this system, have a concern, or think something could be better, please do comment below and let us know.

The Felix Dress is the ideal wardrobe piece to take you from the heat of summer to the cool days of autumn. The loose, breezy shape is perfect on its own or layered with tights and a cardigan. The skirt is eased, rather than gathered, to reduce bulk at the waistline. Three sleeve options provide you with plenty of versatility and a faux wrap bodice gives the look of a wrap dress without potential for mishaps. The Felix also features generous pockets and is fully lined. The unique construction of this dress has a few twists and tricks, so if you like learning new techniques it’s a must sew! Techniques involved include sewing a straight seam, easing, lining a dress, setting sleeves, applying armhole bias facings, and hemming. Self: Lightweight fabrics such as cotton voile or batiste, handkerchief linens, rayon and rayon blends, and silks. Avoid fabrics that are stiff or tightly woven, as this dress requires fabrics with drape. Lining: Lightweight linings such as rayon, rayon Bemberg, or silk. You can use the self fabric for the bodice lining, but we highly recommend using fabrics that won’t cling to the body and skirt for the skirt lining. Please note: Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, and one-way designs. Chinwe’s measurements are 34″ Bust — 29″ Waist — 40″ Hip and is wearing a size 6. You do not need to print all of the pattern files, just the one that corresponds to how you intend to print. If you have additional questions please see our FAQ and Digital Product Policies. If you need help printing and assembling your pattern, take a look at our PDF Printing and Assembly Guide!

That’s what Dan said to me Tuesday night. He was so right. Sorry to keep harping on it, but I’m so thankful I got that thing out. I’m also thankful that my life is so amazing that I have so many reasons to laugh and smile. Quick but jam-packed bible studies over coffee. Lunch with Sydney at T-Flats and the hilarious conversation that always takes place with her. Haphazardly planned breakfasts at Cracker Barrel. Playing with Dax at bath time. He is so fun! Serendipitous run-ins at Redeye Coffee. Seeing my awesome primary care doctor and my counselor back to back. Raw, honest, candid, and enriching conversations over iMessage. Texting a friend all morning and then running into them on my lunch break. This, particularly in the wake of the horror that took place last Friday. White elephant gift exchanges, especially one in which a Justin Bieber toothbrush made an appearance. ← active listening: “crossroads” by sarah mac band.

The Mathletics Lead Educator program is an initiative to recognise and support Y1-13 educators who are innovative leaders, integrating Mathletics technologies in the classroom. Our Lead Educators are ambassadors to their community, inspiring teachers with their passion for teaching with technology. Victoria is a teacher passionate about using online resources to increase children’s motivation for learning and is creative with rewards – such as creating a ‘3000’ club where pupils have to earn 3000 participation points in a week to be awarded a certificate and a special club badge. She uses Mathletics both for differentiation within homework to consolidate learning and in a daily numeracy carousel to reinforce teaching and assess away from the point of learning. As the numeracy leader she also uses Mathletics o analyse activities students have difficulty with and then offer support to year groups with closing the gaps. Using the analysis of the reports she is able to identify trends and common areas where staff training may also be required.

Kerry Hammond is here today with her report from the Denver-based Crime & Beyond book club. Their latest read is Jo Nesbo’s Blood on Snow. Jo Nesbo is a book club favorite and we’ve read several books in the Harry Hole series. This month, we read the author’s most recent standalone book, Blood on Snow. This book takes place in Oslo, Norway and follows Olav, a “fixer” for one of the city’s top crime bosses. There’s more to Olav than meets the eye, though. He’s good at his job, which means his skills are in demand, but he seems to have a soft side. This sentimental part gets him into trouble with his boss when he is hired to kill the boss’s wife and instead falls in love with her. Olav’s misstep puts him in danger, and in the middle of a power struggle between rival criminals. As he tries to figure out how to get out of the situation he’s gotten himself into, we learn more about what makes him tick and how he became a hired killer. Our book club loves Nesbo’s Harry Hole series, but there are a few members who find the scenes in those books to be too graphic. In an interview with the author, he admits that his books tend to show the darker side of Oslo. Our club agreed that Blood on Snow was less graphic, yet well-written, and a good example of the reason we keep reading the author’s work. My Mystery book club has also enjoyed some of his books but agree with the comments about they can be graphic in nature. Just realized I have it on my kindle. Thanks for the review. I'll put it on my TBR list.

A perfect recipe for early morning muffins. No added sugar. Paleo adaptable. Heat over to 350 degrees and prepare muffin pan with either liners or by greasing the pan with coconut oil. Fold the dry mixture into the wet. Fold the chocolate chips and walnuts into the batter. Divide the batter between the muffin tins. I like to use an ice cream scoop for the large muffins or a small cookie scoop when I am making mini-muffins. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Robben Island is located a short distance off the coast of Cape Town. It is within sight of Table Bay, Bloubergstrand, Sea Point and Camps Bay, and it is clearly visible from the top of Table Mountain. It is situated about 10 kilometres away from the V&A Waterfront, and about 7 kilometres from the beach at Bloubergstrand. Despite its close proximity to Cape Town, the island is naturally isolated from the mainland by a short but formidable stretch of cold, wild ocean. It is this paradoxical combination of remoteness and accessibility that made Robben Island such a useful prison. The highest point on the island is Minto Hill, standing about 30 metres above sea level, and an attractive lighthouse stands atop this low rise. The depth of the sea between Robben Island and the mainland is also about 30 metres, and the island is actually joined to the mainland by a submerged saddle of land.

Students have long applied to colleges and universities with applications that are heavy on test scores and grades. While that's not necessarily wrong, the founders of ZeeMee believe it doesn't tell the whole story. This Redwood City, California-based company has created a platform that lets students bring their stories to life by uploading images, videos and photos of themselves to their ZeeMee profile. Colleges and universities that partner with ZeeMee — and there are more than 200, including Tulane, University of Delaware and Carnegie Mellon University — provide a space on their application for the ZeeMee link, or students can simply email their profile to the college they're applying to if it's not a partner school. The profiles can be uploaded online or on Android and iOS devices. So far, the company claims 13,000 high schools in 150 countries have used the platform. Co-founder and CEO Juan Jaysingh, an Indian immigrant who won scholarships to Georgetown Prep and the American University, has called the current generation the Snapchat generation, meaning they're comfortable using images and videos to tell people about themselves. He built the platform with the help of college admissions leaders so that it is focused on the mission of getting into college and doesn't become just another social media outlet. Right now the admission service for students is free, but as the company grows — and students potentially stay on it throughout college — it plans to provide career and alumni services for a fee. ZeeMee has raised $6.8 million from BlueRun Ventures and Nima Capital.

There is a tall can of Budweiser in my fridge but I just can’t bring myself to drink it. Not since the news that Budweiser InBev is buying Miller Beer. That is like all the Jedi knights moving onto the Death Star. It’s like Reagan and Gorbachev tearing down the Berlin Wall and then using the bricks to build a spacious condo for both of them to live in. It’s like Indiana Jones living with snakes. It’s like the Taliban buying Bryn Mawr College. It’s like Coke and Pepsi being denied a marriage license by Kim Davis. It’s like Sherlock Holmes going into business with Professor Moriarty. Come to think of it, how did that random can of Budweiser get in my fridge, anyway? Truth be told I don’t particularly care for either Miller or Bud. They both taste like musty club soda to me, but that isn’t the point. I’ve consumed large amounts of both beers on occasions that called for it. Fourth of July cookouts, Metallica concerts, football games–both intramural and professional. In short, it is the proper potation for purely American pursuits. What has me concerned is the collapse of giant polarizing entities in a culture that thrives on them. As a nation we love to love what we love and we love to hate what we hate. Really, how did that can of Budweiser get in my fridge? The idea of dynamic tension is an old one. Charles Atlas popularized the practice in the early 1900’s. Pit one muscle group against another and watch them both grow into massive weapons you can use against Coney Island bullies that kick sand in your face and steal your girlfriend. What’s good for personal fitness is good for product marketing. Over the course of the twentieth century small-scale competitors grew into merchandising titans that demanded brand loyalty. It’s fun to watch the two biggest teams go at it. The spectators choose sides. They feel like they belong. There is an opponent that channels their vague rage. This is the essence of conflict. Of triumph. Of the dialectic that drives innovation and strategy. Bud and Miller have been cast by the vast marketing machine as the dueling drinks of American champions, war heroes, and dusty cowpokes riding off into the sunset. It’s one or the other. You’re either in or you’re out. We’ve been blasting at each other with our flintlocks for a hundred years. Now they want us to throw down our weapons and shake hands. It was getting ridiculous. I still couldn’t figure out about that one random can of Budweiser in my refrigerator. Even stranger was that it was tucked in a beer koozy commemorating the “Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival” out of Niceville, Florida. How did that get there? Was I in Niceville, Florida, recently? Where is Niceville? Is it even nice? I was late for a meeting so I hopped in a cab with my cold beer and my newspaper and hightailed it over to Buckhead. As I continued reading about the Bud-Miller merger it became clear that the two iconic beers may not be the staunch American bulwarks they claimed to be. The merger had more to do with an Argentinian investment firm, the Santo Domingo family of Columbia, and a fellow named Jan DePlessis hammering out negotiations in London. There was no mention of the United States of America. Bosh! I yelled, sipping my random can of beer. Super cold and delicious in all its stale mustiness. As usual the traffic was terrible so I got out of the cab and walked. Overtaken with thirst, I stopped at one of these trendy Buckhead bars for a hit of good old fashioned American bourbon. I surrendered my can of Bud and traded it for a fresh bottle of a beer called “Eschaton” made by the Wild Heaven distillery in Atlanta. I inserted it into my Boggy Bayou beer koozy. “That whiskey you are drinking has been bought by the Japanese,” he said. “At 12% alcohol-by-volume it may very well be,” I said. “Wouldn’t have thunk it,” I said. “Ever heard the song ‘dead skunk in the middle of the road?’” I asked.

We’re less than a week out from Christmas, which hardly seems possible. I think I maybe finally found the knack of not going overboard on spending for my family this year. I’m a gifter. I like to give gifts. For a lot of people, this time of year can be difficult. The days are short. The nights are long. We try to compensate with lights. We put them on our trees, we put them on our house. For me, it’s candles. I love to fill my living room with candles during the holiday season. It’s a form of what we call “sympathetic magic,” the act of calling something to you by imitation. What we’re longing for is the sun, so we light our lives up with artificial light to tempt it to return. The only thing I like better than candles lit against the cold dark of winter, is the cold dark of winter itself. The winter solstice is Friday, the day of the longest night. Every day after that the days will grow slowly longer and the wheel will turn, spring will come. There will be candles in the early evening, but before I go to bed, I will put them all out and spend some time alone in that quiet that only comes in the dark. It’s a good time to do a self-inventory, to judge your progress against goals, to adjust your attitude toward yourself and others. Preparation, for you to return with the sun and ready yourself for the growth to come. At least, that’s my solstice tradition. Followed on Christmas with family time, food and gift giving. I hope that however you celebrate, and whatever you celebrate, that this season of good will finds you happy, healthy and hopeful, Readers. I am more grateful for all of you than you will ever know.

We fell into a Netflix watching rut. It happened around mid-summer. I realized at the end of our busy summer days our family would sit down to watch something together. We would wind up watching the same programs over and over again. No one wanted to take a risk on something new. The tried and true programs were reliable, fun and everyone could agree on them. However, I knew that we were missing out on some awesome programs. I needed a way to persuade my family to start something new. As a parent, I know that the fastest way to a person’s heart is through their stomachs. I knew that food would be the answer. And so it went. Boston Chowder convinced my husband to watch the series Jackie. The promise of a fancy restaurant dinner with the entire family convinced everyone to watch Chef’s Table…plus we love food shows. We cooked up a batch of witches’ brew stew to watch The Worst Witch…which is now a family favourite. So, what did I learn from this foodie experiment? I learned that while it is very easy to get stuck in a rut…it can be totally delicious and enjoyable to get out of a rut. I love this infographic from Netflix detailing how you can persuade your kids, your spouse or your parents to watch Chef’s Table. The logic is pretty sound, wouldn’t you say? With a new batch of programs coming on to Netflix this fall, how do you get everyone on board with watching new shows? Share your tips below. What We Are Watching Now – This summer we discovered the new Netflix program Atypical. While my kids aren’t quite old enough for the storyline, my husband and I have really enjoyed this show. Take a peek inside the life of a “typical” family – with an “atypical” teenage son. Sam is trying to live a “normal” life and this coming of age story is funny, insightful and honest. If you haven’t given it a try, hopefully I’ve persuaded you!

I've been interested in the film adaptation since my kids and I saw the first trailer, I hadn't any interest in seeking out the original story but when I saw it in the back room at work I thought I'd grab it and give it a read. The film jumps straight into Lewis having been freshly orphaned and moving to live with his uncle in New Zebedee. Lewis is a young, overweight boy who quickly comes to love his new home. There are very few characters in this book and we don't really get to know any of the particularly well, they're all easy to figure out and no one changes or grows personality wise. Infact, when it came down to the final confrontation, I didn't find myself particularly caring about any of the characters. The plot itself is nothing stunning and I kept finding myself hoping for more to happen, it was only the fact that it was a short book that had me continuing to read till the last page. I liked the basic premise of the book, moving into a new house with a secret that has to be discovered before things go catastrophically wrong. This book was praised when it came out but I find that it hasn't aged well and I'm expecting a lot more action in its big screen version as there was very little here. I expect Lewis is meant to be a likeable character and there was a good subplot revolving around that yearning to fit in but I didn't feel sorry for him, despite that being the aim. In the end, the premise intrigued me but the story didn't entertain me. Surviving the Perils of Black Holes, Time Paradoxes and Quantum Uncertainty. This title provides answers to science's most enduring questions from 'Can I break the light-speed barrier like on Star Trek?' and 'Is there life on other planets?' to 'What is empty space made of?'.

Lake Suchitlan is shared by four departments in the northern and central part of El Salvador. The quickest way to get to the lake is through the colonial town of Suchitoto. The lake was formed during the winter of 1976, after the Power Generating Dam Cerrón Grande was built. Its name comes from the hacienda located on the rim of the Lempa River. Different kinds of fish can be found here, most of them being artificially introduced. Among its fauna we can find: rabbits, pichiches, zarzetas, grass turtles, etc. The extension of the lake varies according to the season; during winter it reaches 135 km. Its elevation also differs, when in summer reaches 182 m ASL, and in winter 234 m ASL, being this last one when it reaches 2150 million cubic meters of water. Alejandro Coto a famous local film maker gave the lake its current name "Suchitlan", which in nahuatl means "Place of the flower-bird".

Against Michigan State last season, McSorley threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions — but the number is misleading, as two were no fault of McSorley’s. One came when the intended target got a hand on the ball and deflected it to a defender, and the other occurred when the intended receiver fell down while running his route. Dantonio didn’t sound as if he expected a repeat of that Saturday afternoon.

I am a co-leader of my local Appleton, Wisconsin chapter of the Rising Tide Society, a group of creative entrepreneurs who come together in the spirit of community over competition. We are all about providing free and low-cost education as a means to lift each other up in business. Each month, we gather on the second Tuesday and talk about a common theme in business. Last month around this time, we discussed the topic of Client Experience. Ever since then, my awareness has been heightened and I have reflected on my own experiences as a customer in many settings. I can, of course, name a few poor or mediocre experiences, but what good does that do? I want to really show off the things that left a positive impact on me! Made my Mee, Appleton, WI: I contacted Michelle, owner of Made by Mee, to see if she could make me a custom crocheted lion hood by Halloween for our toddler to wear as part of her costume. What I loved, beside the ridiculously adorable finished product, was that Michelle had stellar communication skills. She gave me an honest estimate of how long it would take to finish the project based on other items in her production queue. Also, she noted my ideas and color preferences and made exactly what I was looking for! Lastly, she personally delivered the hood to me in a gift bag. Now this, my friends, is how to run a handmade goods business! Smith Pharmacy, Little Chute, WI: After getting prescription medication at national pharmacy stores for years and years, I heard through the grapevine of this absolute gem of a store. Smith Pharmacy is a no-frills pharmacy located about 15 minutes away from me. Although I would rather not drive all that way just to pick up medicine, I figured I would check it out at least once. After my visit, I thought, “Where have you been all my life?!” Seriously, I was amazed. My prescription was approximately $300 per month at a national chain and it was $18 here. The staff were so helpful, setting up a monthly mail delivery service (for no extra charge). So I can get what I need A: for the same price B: delivered to my house and C: on time so I never miss a dose. Lastly, they had a free Ms. PacMan game, small toy area, and free lollipops for the kids to make wait even easier. Thank goodness for local businesses who think about their customers! Best Buy, Appleton, WI: This weekend, our microwave finally kicked the bucket and needed to be replaced. I swear this thing has been trying to kill me for years, so I am glad. I dragged my whole family to Best Buy to look at new microwaves, completely expecting the shopping process to take forever, across multiple stores. When we got to the appliance section, an associate connected me to the Appliance Guru, who brought me to his computer and asked me several important questions. He essentially narrowed down my search to the exact model I needed and lo and behold, it was in stock! He automatically did price match searching without my asking, saving me $20, and brought the unit up to the front to wait for us while we finished shopping. This whole process took less than ten minutes (hooray!) and my kiddos barely had time to complain. Checkout was easy and one of the associates helped load it into our vehicle. I wanted to share experiences from three very different businesses, of three very different scales. All three left a positive impact on my shopping experience and it was all due to one thing: those people always seemed to be focused on providing quality customer service. I am looking forward to sharing more business reviews in the future, diving a little deeper into what I learned from my experiences. I hope you join me on my journey!

As a substantial participant in the motion that aided create financial investment crowdfunding via JOBS Act regulation, and also as the CEO of Crowdfunder, I have actually heard there’s some confusion available regarding exactly what crowdfunding means these days, just what the various crowdfunding websites do, and also that they are for. To clean up any confusion, right here’s some straightforward info concerning 2 preferred donation-based crowdfunding sites, and also updates on the state of the new globe of investment crowdfunding. Kickstarter and also Indiegogo, considered both most popular donation-based crowdfunding websites, were established in 2009 and 2007 respectively. They give people as well as imaginative jobs the opportunity to raise cash using on-line donations or pre-purchasing of items or experiences. To be clear, these 2 crowdfunding systems just support donation-based jobs. They do not enable contributors to come to be an investor or an investor, and also do not qualify contributors as recognized investors to join any kind of financial returns. On both Kickstarter as well as Indiegogo, project creators retain 100% control over their product or services. If you want a wider sight of the entire crowdfunding landscape, see this current Forbes item noting the Top 10 Crowdfunding Sites and just what each does finest. It had not been till lately that the JOBS Act was passed, giving backers the capacity to invest on the internet via investment crowdfunding. And also while the Judgments for the JOBS Act are being implemented progressively, Title II of the JOBS Act has actually simply passed a ballot at the SEC which will certainly enable firms to take part in general solicitation since September 23rd this year, although only certified financiers will certainly have the ability to spend. Expect rather of little sound in the financial investment crowdfunding/accredited investing globe as of September 23rd kickoff of Title II and the lift on the very long time restriction on basic solicitation. Websites like CircleUp, Crowdfunder.com, and AngelList are offering possibilities for investment crowdfunding (equity, exchangeable notes) as well as will likely participate in allowing choose firms to usually obtain out on the internet, with financial investment deals connected back to their accredited-investor-only investment atmospheres online. Since its launch, Kickstarter has actually become one of the leading players in the crowdfunding arena and also has actually assisted fund over 46,000 successful projects. Kickstarter credits their success on its rigorous qualification plan, job curating, and all-or-nothing financing plan. Providing particularly toward innovative, project-based projects, all jobs sent to Kickstarter should fit within among the following categories: Art, Comic books, Dance, Style, Style, Film, Food, Gaming, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology, or Cinema. Only users from the USA, Canada, or the UK could create jobs, though anyone could donate. Campaigns for personal interests, charities, or “fund-my-life” projects are not permitted, and also projects that do not satisfy Kickstarter’s qualifications might be denied. So exactly what campaigns function best on the Kickstarter platform? Any type of project that satisfies the above criteria and results in a particular services or product– such as jobs that lead to a brand-new publication, cd, or independent film. Some organisations have actually successfully utilized Kickstarter to money expansion tasks, develop brand-new applications, and buy new devices. Successful jobs establish an affordable goal, meet that objective within the first 30 to 40 days, and deliver all guaranteed contribution benefits promptly. Kickstarter Statistics (see their Jacksonville stats). According to Kickstarter, only 10% of tasks end having gotten no pledges, while “81% of tasks that elevated greater than 20% of their objective were effectively funded.” Jobs might compete 60 days, though Kickstarter recommends setting a target date for Thirty Days or much less. In regards to charges, Kickstarter applies a 5% fee for effectively funded tasks, while unsuccessful tasks sustain no fees yet undergo an all-or-nothing policy- which is is exactly what it sounds like; if a task cannot fulfill its funding objective, none of the contribution commitments made are actually refined. According to Kickstarter, this policy guarantees a level of safety and security for job creators and backers. They basically allow for the crowdfunding of anything– projects, journeys, charities, and also personal desires. Unlike Kickstarter, Indiegogo does not curate campaigns or place restrictions on task developers. Generally, successful Indiegogo projects remain open for 47 days. According to stats given by a recent record published by The Brink, 80% of Indiegogo jobs cannot increase more than 25% of the complete goal. Nevertheless, the site applies a 4% fee to the funds elevated for effective projects, making it a somewhat less costly alternative to Kickstarter. While the success price of tasks on Indiegogo might be challenging, many users select Indiegogo for its option of Fixed Financing or Flexible Financing options. Flexible Funding enables developers to keep the funds they have increased, for a 9% charge, even if the task is eventually not successful. Creators are held answerable for providing all guaranteed donation advantages. Unsuccessful Fixed Funding projects are not billed any kind of fees, designers are not needed to satisfy any donation advantages, and also all contributions are returned. Indiegogo is coming in 2nd to Kickstarter, its remaining power, international audience, and also inclusive policies have proven a wonderful alternative for job makers looking for even more adaptability. Raising Investment Online Via Equity Crowdfunding in Jacksonville FL. Since the SEC has lastly passed equity crowdfunding rulings, on the internet financial investment is acquiring enormous energy at sites like CircleUp, Crowdfunder.com and AngelList. The dynamics of financial investment crowdfunding share some similarities with the donation-model, but it’s a various game entirely. Equity crowdfunding allows backers to gain eventual economic returns on investments, as well as the financial investment scale for companies as well as startups is normally a lot larger than donation-based crowdfunding projects. The experience of funding something for $25 to $50 on impulse is drastically various from taking into consideration the lasting potential customers of a business, and investing $1,000 to $10,000, or extra. However, a number of the same components at play in successful donation-based crowdfunding campaigns put on exactly what assists own financial investment crowdfunding too. Those consist of:. Social Proof: Recognizing that backs a campaign could assist guide various other possible investors. Energy: Preliminary financing could beget even more financing. Recognition: Having raised cash online efficiently could be an evidence point of its very own. Consumer Involvement: Individuals who fund you are likewise your customers. As the overall crowdfunding market is anticipated to expand about at a price of doubling year over year, it is readied to quickly expand with the a lot more instant kicking off of Title II (general solicitation and also accredited investing activity online). Title III of the JOBS Act (non-accredited crowdfunding) is probably to be recommended for commenting this Fall and also put to a ballot by the SEC Commissioners at some time at the end of the year or very early 2014. So remain tuned as the crowdfunding for donation as well as financial investment markets continue to expand quickly.

Anyways onto the post at hand! In the spirit of my resolution to do more strength training this week (for the sake of my knee but also in the hopes of one day having a smoking hot bod… bahaha just kidding), I put together a “marathon friendly” circuit workout to do on Tuesday morning. Marathon training and strength training require a delicate balance. I don’t want to blow out my legs lifting when I need them for a difficult run, but at the same time I want to make sure I’m keeping key running muscles toned and ready for injury prevention. I also don’t want to neglect my upper body and core, which are totally crucial to good running posture and injury prevention (mostly core for the injury prevention part). I tend to use my off day and my easy run days for my strength training to allow all my energy / focus to be on running on my SOS days (That’s Hanson Method speak for “Something of Substance” workouts… basically your hard workouts). I incorporated some basic lower body movements and plyometrics (GREAT for runners), a solid upper body workout, and plenty of focus on the core into this approximately 30 minute strength training workout. I did it “for time” to get my heart rate up and challenge myself. You can totally just do 12 reps each for 3 rounds and not time it.

I recently purchased my daughter a Spanish course from Step by Step Spanish. It's the best we've tried and believe me we have tried plenty. My daughter is doing great! We have seen great results and she is only in unit 4. The actual name of the program is Programmatic Spanish. Since I want to learn French, I did a web search to see if anyone was selling the French version. Well guess what? It is out of copyright and in the public domain! Not only is the French available, but so is the Spanish course I paid for! I almost feel like a fool for paying for something I could get for free, but I would never had heard of it in the first place if I hadn't bought it. It's a program developed by the government and covers 1 year of college Spanish or 2 years of high school level Spanish. It includes the student textbook, instructor guide, workbook, and audio. Check it out!

By now the insertion points on my knee has built up scar tissue. This is very uncomfortable. It is limiting my flexion. If you touch one of those spots it radiates to the opposite side of the knee. Combine that with stiffness, tightness and weakness in other parts of the leg and what you get is a funny walking pattern. My body is compensating so my stride is off. I’m walking on the lateral side of my foot to avoid medial pain in the knee. I can’t fully extend the leg in my strides due to the tightness in my quad and calve. A medial glut that is not firing has led to a tight and over active IT band. So thank God it’s finally time for physical therapy. I walked into PT and was met by my therapist with laser in hand. My session consisted of stretching, and myofascial release by heated laser. Incredible. I wish I had one of these machines at home. By the end of the week I had made some major improvements. It was rough though. A lot of swelling, soreness, cracking. But with some TLC (stretching, foam rolling, corrective exercises) I’ve got the green light to do some lower body work, even minor single leg work. By the end of the week 3 I’m actually doing some low level mobility work. The knee feels great afterwards but when I sit down and things start to tighten up it does not feel so good. Overall the swelling has decreased dramatically, and a stability has increased a little. My biggest problem is getting the knee cap to track straight and keeping it there. When I do that I’m golden. I am feeling good though because I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lownewulf's Lair: Comcast Free, all hail Frontier! It was a painful victory when we first rid ourselves of Comcast Internet – while we welcomed the impressive new FTTP connection, it was hollow in that we had to continue to pay Comcast excessive rates for unreliable budget-grade TV service. But finally, we said a very unemotional goodbye to Comcast, and welcomed our new FiOS TV service. It took some time to finally be rid of them. First, the lack of a “franchise agreement” (essentially a state-enforced TV monopoly) with the county blocked us from getting service. Once we were annexed into Kirkland, that was no longer an issue. But then, Frontier insisted that we get service from their close partner, DirecTV. To be fair, I’ve heard nothing but good things about DirecTV, but large trees to the South of our home makes that a non-starter. Finally, in a victory for the Internet generation, I was able to reach a district manager through Twitter, who talked to the right people and got us scheduled for hook-up right away. Reliable signal. We’ve yet to see a single pixel out of place since we turned on the service. With Comcast, we’d lose half our channels for hours at a time almost every day. Their techs were never able to really correct the issue, plus the fact that they try to charge you service fees for the privilege. High quality signal. The HD is HD, and even the SD (what little of it we use now, given our “extreme” package) is crystal clear. The Comcast SD channels - which, on our overpriced basic plan meant most of them – were brutally over-compressed. My TV isn’t that big – I shouldn’t have to tolerate compression artifacts. Great DVR. Despite almost identical hardware, FiOS has great software on their devices, compared to the buggy crap software Comcast pushed on us. No longer am I playing the “rewind an hour because the DVR lost our place” game. No jerking around on price. A fair fixed price for years at a time. None of this “introductory rate” scam, where the price skyrockets after a few months. While many people have observed that you can threaten to leave Comcast to get back on promo rates, I much prefer just paying a fair price consistently without any games. Now, we have a wonderful bundle. Reliable 25/25 Mbps unlimited internet (yes, symmetric broadband and no data cap, I can feel the jealousy radiating from Canada already). Combined with the “Extreme” HD package – including a 24/7 HD NHL channel, a few movie channels, and more HD specialty channels than I know what to do with. All for less money than we ever paid Comcast. Admittedly, I’m not much of a TV watcher anyways – Netflix covers most of my needs. But if I’m going to pay for TV, I expect to get the best, and Frontier really delivers.

I have been following Jane’s saga about teaching a preconference workshop at a TLA conference over at A Wandering Eyre with fascinated interest. I don’t go to many conferences (I do hope to once I’m done with graduate school), and know next to nothing about compensation for speaking, presenting, etc. It all seems rather confusing, bizarre and off putting. I have to applaud Dorothea Salo for her contribution to the discussion – The Library-Association Conference Paradox – in which she is quite up front about what she is getting for her participation. Really, these are the things nobody ever tells you – that you have to learn on your own (and probably in a rather painful way). They certainly do not teach you these things in library school. The Liminal Librarian started this meme sometime last week. Life has been crazy, so although I thought about joining in, I didn’t. But since I was tagged by Peter Bromberg from Library Garden earlier this week, I had to participate. I’ve tried to highlight some of the blogs that haven’t already been mentioned too many times. It has been interesting to note that many of us in the world of library blogs seem to read a high percentage of the same non-library blogs!! Star Wars Joke-A-Day – This one is just for fun. Yes, I’m a Star Wars fanatic. There are some interesting blogs on the Star Wars Official Site – on which I have spent more time that I really want to acknowledge. Presentation Zen – A blog about professional presentation design. Bloug– Louis Rosenfeld’s blog on information architecture.

Clues for spotting a fake dating profile Close One day Georgina received a friend request from a serviceman on peacekeeping duties in Afghanistan. She decided to accept the request and allowed ‘Jim’ to be her Facebook friend. Soon after befriending her, Jim told Georgina he had lost his wife to cancer and his story of looking after her was similar to her own experience when her husband had died of cancer. S military was nearly finished. He sent me pictures which I now know were stolen from someone on the internet. We became very close and he emailed me every day saying it was easier for him than using Facebook. He said this was the best part of being in Nigeria because it was close to where the precious stones were being mined and he could buy them very cheaply. It was a lot of money to send but she figured he was a good and honest serviceman and if things worked out they would spend the rest of their lives together. Cease contact with an online admirer if they ask you for financial help, no matter how genuine they sound. Customs officials seized the gemstones and demanded payment to have them released.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – A light breeze passed through The Brew Stooges' quiet seven-barrel brewery Tuesday afternoon in downtown Huntsville. Tonight, the 2,500-square-foot brewhouse and tap room will come to life with six permanent taps and three portables pouring ice cold beer in the heart of the Rocket City. "We like to keep it easy going and simple," said co-owner Chris Bramon. "We want people to come here and be incredibly comfortable. When you're here, you're right smack in the middle of it. The Brew Stooges, a craft beer venture started by business partners Bramon, Tracy Mullins and Jeff Peck, launched a new tasting room and outdoor seating area a few months ago at its facility on 109 Maple Ave. With help from volunteers and groups like Know Huntsville, Mullins, Peck and Bramon have seen their customer base grow in recent months with the addition of free barbecue on Saturday nights, music events and even a live podcast. "It's doing a lot better than we originally envisioned to start off with," Bramon said. "And it just keeps getting bigger and bigger." Down the street from the iconic, now-closed Tip Top Café, the beer makers are working on new signage to attract more brew lovers to the downtown brewery and tap room, which seats up to 25. Although there are a couple of picnic tables out back, Bramon said the crowds have been so large they "routinely have people standing." The Brew Stooges isn't the only local craft beer business seeing hefty growth. Rocket Republic Brewing Co. announced in June it will launch a brew house and tap room in Madison, while Huntsville's Straight to Ale recently expanded into the Atlanta market. The Alabama Brewers Guild reported in April that statewide beer production grew 47 percent last year. The number of taxable removal barrels (the amount of beer sold and taxed) was 28,373 in 2013, up 47 percent from 2012, while the number of breweries nearly doubled from seven in 2012 to 13 in 2013. You can now find The Brew Stooges' local brews at Huntsville's Bandito Burrito, West End Grill, The Nook, Mellow Mushroom and Pie in the Sky. Their beer is also on tap in Decatur, Athens, Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa. Peck, who spends his work days at NASA, feels good about their progress. "We want to try to grow the business organically with the market," he said. "If the market doesn't grow, then we don't get any bigger ... but I think it will. We think we can grow our market into Alabama, as well as at some point go across state lines." The brewhouse is located in a building where Mullins ran his side business, Complete Plumbing, for about 10 years. The trio started construction on the property in the spring of 2012 before opening a year later. During the first 10 months of operation, Peck said they were busy getting their processes down, reaching distribution agreements and landing new markets. When they felt comfortable enough to move forward with the expansion, they assembled the tap room. The brewhouse is open to the public from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Bramon said they're working with the city of Huntsville to bring a trolley to the downtown brewery. "If we can get folks to ride the trolley down here, that means we'll be on the normal downtown circuit," he said. "You can come downtown and visit us anytime you want and you don't have to drive." A beer tasting with The Brew Stooges will take place July 12 and 26 during The Lowry House's Backyard Concert Series.

Relieving ear pressure may be quite an easy thing to do in those cases where the pressure is due to an imbalance between the air pressure in the middle ear and that of the environment. This is often the case when we undergo rapid changes in altitude, and the condition is called ear barotrauma. We most often experience ear barotrauma when flying, as the plane is taking off or landing, and the cabin pressure changes. Another time this is experienced may be when driving over a mountain pass. The ears may pop once or twice, and just prior to the popping, hearing may be somewhat impaired, at least to the point where sounds appear to be slightly muffled. A third cause is underwater diving, where the increasing water pressure as we go deeper can create an imbalance between the pressure in the inner ear and that of the outside environment. Relieving ear pressure can be quite another matter if the cause of the pressure differential lies within the ear itself, or with the Eustachian tube, which runs between the back of the nose (the pharynx) and the middle ear, and functions among other things, to regulate the pressure in the middle ear. If the Eustachian tube becomes blocked and cannot perform this regulating function, or if the middle ear becomes infected, and mucous or fluid is allowed to accumulate, pressure may be felt on the eardrum. Swallowing, chewing gum, or one of the other practices we rely upon for relieving ear barotrauma pressures, will usually not work when an infection is involved. Relief may not occur until an antibiotic or some other medication has been administered. The Eustachian Tube Is The Key - When we look at the various ways we can use in relieving ear pressure, in almost every case the Eustachian tube is involved, and what we're attempting to do is to open it. The Eustachian tube is normally closed, except when it opens to either regulate air pressure, or allow mucous, which has accumulated in the middle ear, to drain away. The tube is normally closed so that secretions from the nasal cavity will not find their way into the inner ear and cause an infection. By swallowing, chewing gum, and yawning to relieve the pressure, what we are really attempting got do is to get the Eustachian tube to open, and we usually are successful. The term pharyngotympanic tube is coming in to more general use as a replacement of the term Eustachian tube. Though perhaps harder to remember and pronounce, the new term makes sense, as the tube runs from the pharynx to the area where the tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is located. Blow Your Nose - When traveling by air, inhalants often help keep the ears from popping, and keep ear pressure normal, as does sucking on hard candy. One recommendation is to blow the nose. No need to "honk", just blow very gently. Nose blowing is even more effective if the mouth is kept closed and fingers pinch the nose while an attempt is made to exhale slowly. If the baby in the family is about to be weaned off of his or her pacifier, and near term air travel is scheduled, either delay the weaning process, or keep the pacifier, as sucking on it may keep the little one from experiencing any ear pressure discomfort. In the great majority of instances, ear pressure issues are usually quite temporary, and seldom very uncomfortable. If the condition persists however, or becomes more severe with the passage of time, it may be a good idea to seek medical help. There could be an infection or a malfunction of the Eustachian tube. You might even try impressing the folks in the clinic by use of the terms ear barotrauma and pharyngotympanic tube, instead of "ear popping" and "that Eustachian thing".

Tales from the Miskatonic University Library | John Ashmead | December 17, 2016 3:23 pm | Comments Off on Tales from the Miskatonic University Library about to escape into the world! Can be included in an anthology titled Tales From the Miskatonic Library without involving us in elaborate explanations. What sort of tales might be found in the Miskatonic University Library? Kept perhaps in the secure reading room? Shared by Chief Librarian Henry Armitage over faculty sherry with only a trusted few? And how did Dr. Henry Armitage acquire his position as Chief Librarian? And what of his successor(s)? What unexpected problems might be faced by an acquisitions librarian at Miskatonic University? Or a cataloger? Is the Necronomicon quite as rare as it is made out to be? What is the real explanation for the curious gaps in the Dewey Decimal System? What might it take to see the unexpurgated account of the Pabodie’s 1930 expedition to The Mountains of Madness? Together with their troubling cross-correlations with Shackleton’s private diary? The US Treasury Departments internal report on the incident at Devil Reef off Innsmouth? Why are no students allowed within the stacks? Are rumors of non-Euclidean spaces within merely rumors? Why was Einstein called in for a consult in 1944? And his frequent correspondent Schrödinger brought over secretly from Ireland that same year? And are series like Warehouse 13 or The Librarian or Charlie Stross’s The Laundry really just cover stories for the MUL? precautions taken to make sure if a bit of the truth gets out, it will be seen as merely a publicity stunt? No reprints. Your original work only. We need to see by the end of August, 2015. And if even if you don’t have a Tale from the Miskatonic Library bubbling up inside you, perhaps a friend does. Please pass this link along to any who might be interested. Word of tentacle is our best advertisement!

FRIDAY is here already!!!! This week has flown by SO FAST…..thank heavens! One day we’ll talk! But for now, to bring in the weekend in STYLE and FUN, I’m talking about DRESSING IN COLOR! This is my friend Caprice Cole who I’ve featured here on my blog before. She’s from Chicago and the designer of these AMAZING COLORFUL COATS! Remember she’s the one who designed the one pictured below, that was featured in USA Today’s BEST YEARS a month or so ago! She’ extremely talented and COLORFUL, which is what first drew me to her! My first meeting with Caprice was here on this trip. I borrowed her coat to twirl in, because I didn’t have my own yet! And this time here at the Lincoln Park Conservatory….stunning location to show off her work! Caprice came to Salt Lake last weekend, and I had the privilege of spending the whole day with her on Sunday. We chose to go up to the beautiful Sundance Resort to photograph her beautiful pieces! It was a gorgeous day with the leaves starting to change. It made for the perfect backdrop for her designs! We had the best time together along with Caprice’s GORGEOUS grandmother, Linda! Caprice will be launching the Caprice Cole Collection NEXT Friday. This collection was inspired by her trip to Paris this passed spring! I’m wearing the “Montmartre”, and Caprice is wearing the “Soleil et Etoile”, which happens to be reversible. I’m just giving you the slightest peak! I’ll be showing more this upcoming week here and on my Instagram and Instagram Stories! Stay tuned! I LOVE dressing in COLOR as you know! I talk so much about it, because I truly feel like it can put you in a much brighter and happier spirit! Color and patterns is the first thing I’m drawn to! I’ve linked up some really fun and lively jackets and sweaters! I’ve said before, if you don’t dress in a lot of color, you should try it! If you’re afraid….try it with a scarf or piece of jewelry!

5 time-saving strategies that will help you feel lighter, more productive, and feel emotionally in control. HECK YES! SEND THEM TO ME. It wasn’t the fear of dying that scared me, it was not knowing how to live. Lying on the bathroom floor, writhing in pain, I said these words to myself, not at all convinced that the woman I now call the Old Heather would make it. She was dying, after all, not just spiritually but literally, physically. Recently diagnosed with stage four cancer, at 28 years old her odds of surviving were grim. I felt those odds every moment of every day, in my body and my soul. I saw those odds in the faces of every nurse, doctor, friend and relative I came into contact with. Now years later, healed and healing, I see that the way we mother MUST change in order for our children to truly know what freedom looks and feels like. I believe all children deserve a caregiver whose cup is full, whose smile comes from deep in her heart, and whose voice is a source of love, guidance and inspiration. It is they, the kids, whose big smiles and fragile, demanding spirits are my purpose and my mission. To help you become the person you desire your children to be. "Heather helped me find the confidence to very clearly ask my husband for what I needed from him as a co-parent and spouse. "

As of recent, Koei Tecmo revealed news pertaining to their upcoming games’ Western release dates. This spans across games like Toukiden 2, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Journey, Nights of Azure 2, and Samurai Warriors: Sanada Maru. Toukiden 2 released over in Japan on July 28th, and is currently available for PS3, PS4 and PS Vita. Western fans looking forward to the popular demon hunting RPG game, Toukiden, will find that the second installment in the series will launch early 2017. As of course, this was announced by Koei Tecmo — who also revealed other titles heading Westward. If you aren’t familiar with Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s game, Toukiden 2 takes players on an Oni-hunting ride that’s open world and filled with all sorts of strange characters. The second installment also features exploration, a town to visit and caves that hold dangerous Oni demons. While taking on the mantle of a Slayer, players will be in charge of defending humanity’s last village from the ferocious demons lurking the fields. Each of these demons call for players to exercise different weapons to exterminate them and rid the land of dangerous threats. As of now, the game isn’t set to release on any platforms yet for the West. This means that it could potentially gain a PC version early 2017, which would be pretty cool. However, it has been noted by Koei Tecmo that the release date, as well as additional information, will drop in the following weeks, so I’m sure that will happen in the mid-to-late part of this month. Toukiden 2 released over in Japan two months ago on July 28th, and is currently available for PS3, PS4 and PS Vita. For more information on this game you can head on over to koeitecmoeurope.com. And if the above is not enough, you can watch some actual gameplay footage below courtesy of YouTuber Havian.

A new type of online product image, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge in collaboration with global consumer goods company Unilever, could improve the mobile shopping experience for the world’s 2.5 billion smartphone users. We want to improve the e-commerce images used for every product, at every retailer, in every country in the world. The concept, known as ‘mobile ready hero images’, was designed to make shopping for grocery products faster, by making it easier to quickly spot key information about a product, such as size, type or flavour. For example, searching for ‘soap’ on Amazon or other retail websites will bring up hundreds of images, and most customers will scroll quickly through the list on their phone in order to find the particular item they want. However, based on product images alone, it can be difficult to quickly spot the differences between items: whether an item contains one, three or ten individual bars of soap, for instance. To date, mobile ready hero images have been adopted by over 80 retailers in more than 40 countries. India – where 65% of all online shopping transactions take place on mobiles – has been one of the fastest countries to adopt these images. In order to meet retailers’ demands for consistent product images across all brands, Unilever commissioned Cambridge to develop a website for hero image guidelines, with freely available templates to help brands create improved product images. To date, some brands have created mobile ready hero images using the Cambridge templates, while others have developed hero images in a different way. Some retailers have chosen to accept all kinds of hero images, while others will only accept some kinds of hero images, resulting in an inconsistent experience for consumers. GS1, a global non-profit organisation which sets standards for consumer goods, has recently established a working group to focus on mobile ready hero images. “Inclusive design can help improve the visual clarity of hero images, making them more accessible to a wider range of consumers,” said Waller. “In particular, our SEE-IT method can estimate the proportion of the population who would be unable to discern the important information from e-commerce images. We have joined the GS1 working group in an advisory capacity, and we are looking forward to contributing our expertise to help inform the critical decisions.

A few days ago, I published a post about crowdsourcing webs. Clients come to these webs with a project, and designers compete for a -non guaranteed- prize. I received many comments for and against these freelancing platforms. So I thought it would be interesting to examine these pro-crowdsourcing positions in depth. First of all, I must admit that the heading of this post is a misunderstanding, since it wants to mean just the opposite of what it says. I’m totally against “free pitching“. It’s not for fear (luckily I’m not affected by this market). I write this just because, as a designer myself, with a relative stable clientele, I feel responsible of the education of novel designers (that’s the reason for this blog), who come along looking forward to having success but too focused on short term. Just like I was 8 years ago. If you join crowdsourcing sites, please read this post, and if you have some time, think it over. It’s not my intention to tell you off, I just want to offer some arguments that you maybe haven’t considered before. If you have and you are still positive that this is a good thing for your career, please comment your point of view for us. 1.- Are you a novel designer, so you need some experience and make your portfolio? I can answer with another question: do you know any other job where people work for free to get some experience? I can find it acceptable that if you have no experience, your salary should be lower than an experienced worker’s. But… working for free? If you have to do that, choose another job. You can work for an non-governmental organization. You can look for a job as a scholarship trainee. You can sell stock designs, sell tutorials or work like guest blogger. You can create your own blog and convert the traffic through advertising, while you promote your services. You can work for friends and relatives. You can work in personal projects or fictional clients. Websites such as Upwork, where clients choose a designer according to their budget and their portfolio. It’s not a panacea, but at least there are some guarantees. You can offer your services in blogs, art communities and forums at a reasonable price. Your salary (even if it’s not much) must be guaranteed. Your prior objective is to learn, both in commercial and technical levels. Making a good portfolio which contains quality work is the key of your future. Unidirectional communication: the client speaks and the designer executes. Communication is also poor: there’s not a good brief and feedback is limited and poor. Revisions are cumulative, that means the project evolves basing on other designers entries, which can make you “inspire” in other people’s work. Are you really learning good habits? The only positive thing I can extract from this is that you will have known the hell of labour market, and you’ll become stronger… If you survive. But I think this is an unnecessary evil, discouraging and not useful… even counterproductive, because of the bad habits you would acquire. Ok, in these sites there are plenty of clients, some of them with acceptable budgets. But your salary is not guaranteed, there are thousands of direct competitors (some of them without any moral principles) and the system doesn’t enable good quality results. It’s like selling low quality fruit in a low quality macro-fruit-shop… I think it would be more intelligent to set up your own store far from that other one, and focus on the quality of your products. I mean, don’t you think it would be more intelligent to create a good quality portfolio and promote it yourself? If you’re a good professional and you offer good products, in a short time clients will knock on your door. Then you’ll be independent and you will set the rules of the game. Otherwise, you’ll keep selling low quality fruit for your lifetime, you will depend on intermediaries and you will have the competence in your own home. 3.- Want quick and easy money? Wow! 1.000US$ for a logotype I can make in 10 minutes!!! Sorry my friend, you’ve chosen the wrong profession. In the design industry there’s nothing quick or easy. If you really want to have success you have to think in long term. You must improve your product and your service, you must promote your work, you must be a professional and then your work will be profitable, you’ll be able to choose who do you want to work for, and you will really enjoy your job. Ok, let’s suppose you want quick and easy money. Is it really quick an easy? There are hundreds of designers and hundreds (even thousands) of entries. The chances of winning, even if your entry is the best one, are quite bad. Firstly, because of simple statistics, and secondly, because the client have the possibility, with a legitimate intention or not, of retiring his money and then there would be no winner of the contest. Adisign09, Okydelarocha and Lene conversion rate. At best case the was paid 1 out of 10 projects, at worst case 1 out 50. 4.- Who is the one who loses out? Crowdsourcing puts quantity before quality, they don’t promote clients’ education in design methodology. They think designers don’t deserve the guarantee of being paid. They offer low quality proposals, even when the clients have an acceptable budget… Designers without any methodology, not involved in the making of the brief, unfair competition, “free pitching” on principle, “quick” and “easy” money… The get-rich-quick culture. The client loses, the designer loses… Who takes advantage then? As always, the intermediary, the organizer who earns his commission. Considering that 99designs generated last month 715.000US$, and they obtained a 15% benefits (forgetting the extra 39US$ for each registration), their income of the last month reaches the not inconsiderable amount of 107.000US$. Do you really think this is beneficial to your career? Do you think it’s beneficial to the client? Think about it, do you really want to promote these values? 5.- Is it unethical, immoral or something? I have to admit that I don’t turn to designers code of ethics very often. I’m not a fundamentalist in any aspects of my life. My decisions are based on common sense. But it is always good to have a frame of reference and I agree 100% with its contents. AGDA discourages members from predatory pricing practices such as free pitching, loss leading and other pricing below break-even. Members should be aware that such practices will damage the economic viability of their business. AGDA is unequivocally opposed to the unfair manipulation of designers with the aim of garnering unpaid work (commonly known as ‘free pitching’). Client practices which do damage to a member’s business are those that award projects or commissions on the basis of the commissioner’s acceptance of unpaid design submissions (eg. unpaid competitive tendering or speculative work). A Member shall not take part in any design competition if the terms of the competition are not approved by AGDA. AGDA bases its assessments on the International Competition Guidelines published by ICOGRADA (International Council of Graphic Design Associations). A Member or organiser of a competition can contact AGDA to review a competition’s terms and provide recommendations and/or approval. This said, crowdsourcing websites break all ethical principles of our profession once and again. They buy designers’ ethics with promises of “easy” money. They sell lots and lots of low quality “fruit” to the clients. And in the meantime, they are filling their pockets at the expense of your dreams. 1. When I’m still starting in designing industry I used contest as a training ground to excel more in my real job. 2. I’ve found it as one of good referenced to update and gain experienced for my career. 3. I benefit some dollars when I won, knowing how’s your skills improved. 4. Lastly if you maintained a quality work not quantity in the contest even that entry lose put it on your portfolio and eventually a real client will noticed that and will collaborate for a real work. My only conclusion here is contest should not be your long term goal in your career have your own business also as you notice my reasons for joining contest is just to get some benefits, these were the good side and I’m still leaving to others their own decision, opinions about this issue. Sinceramente no puedo dejar de estar de estar de acuerdo con lo que dices. He participado en este tipo de sitios por desconocimiento, pero al poco tiempo me lleve la sorpresa de que no era lo que yo pensaba. Malos briefs y feedbacks. Competencia desleal y baja calidad. Por lo tanto, por experiencia propia, no podria estar mas de acuerdo contigo. @Jon: Did you consider some of the alternatives I listed? Yes I consider a two alternatives one is “You can sell stock designs, sell tutorials or work like guest blogger” which in future I will really do this and the second is “Websites such as Elance, where clients choose a designer according to their budget and their portfolio. It´s not a panacea, but at least there are some guarantees.” I know another site like this but definitely will try also elance. @sergio off the topic would you mind add some retweet button on your blog I find this site interesting…thanks! Muy buen articulo, estoy deacuerdo con todo. Lene is a great designer from what I remember. So if she wins 1 of 10, I really doubt she would have a need and desire to participate if there was follow up work in 50% of cases. Also, if the client will notice you there, he will try 99designs first anyway. Only time they notice you is when they want to invite you into their contest. Como ya te comenté en el Email, estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que dices, y entiendo lo de la ética. También tienes que ponerte en la posición del que está empezando y quiere que sus trabajos generen dinero. Es fácil hablar de temas de apuntarse a ONGs y vender trabajos a familiares y empezar desde abajo, pero lo dificil es hacerlo. Si miramos a 99designs desde otro punto de vista que no sea el comercial, sinó el didáctico lo veo una página interesante. Ya que, como bien me dijiste está muy bien la idea de inventarte clientes ficticios, pero, al inventarte tú tus propios clientes siempre tenderás al mismo estilo de diseño. 99designs, lo veo interesante como una página donde juegas con un mercado demasiado amplio y juegas con unos competidores NOVATOS y otros NO TAN NOVATOS. Y te preguntarás, ¿No entiendes mi mensaje? Si, claro que lo entiendo, pero yo no voy por el camino de la competición desleal y de paso por el camino de la moralidad. Simplemente veo 99designs como un sitio donde puedes aprender. Clientes tienes (ya no te los tienes que inventar tú), así pues puedes ampliar tu portafolio, con clientes REALES que seguramente serán más interesantes que los ficticios que te inventes tú. Por otra parte, si lo miramos del lado didáctico, claro que aprendes, la profesión de diseñador es más que nada, ser una esponja, dentro de tu propio estilo, tienes que ser una esponja y empezar a absorber ideas de otros diseñadores, del medio, de cualquier sitio, para luego, llevártelas a tu lado y usarlas a tu favor. 99designs ofrece lo que tú estas contando, un sucio juego de diseñadores que el beneficiario total es la página, pero, eso es desde el punto de vista de un diseñador afianzado como eres tú. Te expongo mi caso, yo soy un estudiante de diseño gráfico y en mi escuela, tenemos pocos proyectos que hacer, nos mandan pues como todo, cosas que a mi no me interesan, cosas que son muy fáciles, y al fin y al cabo, la única asignatura que vale la pena, “proyectos” que es donde de verdad diseñas, solo haces 3 proyectos en cada trimestre, cosa que veo, si te interesa este mundo, ir a paso de tortuga. Para gente como yo, que no tienes ni medios, ni dinero, una buena página es 99designs, ya que yo personalmente la utilizo para tener clientes (y no tener que inventarmelos) y intentar diseñar algo que al cliente le pueda parecer interesante. Claro que es un timo si lo miramos desde el punto de vista del diseñador como profesión, pero, como estudiante de diseño, me lleva a poder meterme en más proyectos de los que realmente tengo que hacer en el colegio, avanzar en mis conocimientos sobre los programas y SUPERARME para poder competir con la gente de ahí dentro, y a lo mejor, de casualidad o por que el destino lo quiere así, algún día gane algún concurso de esos, pero realmente, no es mi meta. – Usar 99designs como página didáctica y como entrenamiento, está bien. – Usar 99designs como página donde afianzar tu negocio, está mal, muy mal. Pero es que creo yo, que cualquier diseñador que haya estado ahí, y haya participado en más de un proyecto, se habrá dado cuenta que no merece la pena trabajar ahí. Pero para un estudiante, como es mi caso, que realmente lo que quiero es tener clientes no ficticios, y poder ver el trabajo de otros, en base al mismo proyecto que el mio, para aprender de ellos, si que merece la pena pasarse por ahí. como digo es mi opinión y seguramente tu difieras de ella, pero hoy por hoy lo veo así, seguramente, en un futuro cuando tenga mi trabajo, estaré en tu misma posición, pero como dije antes, no creo que 99designs sea malo si se usa como algo didáctico, a mi personalmente me hacen un favor. Hola Alex, en primer lugar darte las gracias por tu opinión, por supuesto que eres bienvenido y es apreciada, aunque no coincidamos. – ¿Alguien que no te va a pagar puede ser considerado cliente? – ¿Puestos a trabajar gratis, no es mejor hacerlo para alguien que lo necesite o que conozcas? – Absolutamente todos hemos empezado desde abajo (soy sergitosuanez en este post de 2004), requiere mucho esfuerzo pero si otros pudieron tú también puedes. Acéptalo cuanto antes y comienza tu batalla, pero elige bien donde luchas porque la energía es limitada. – ¿Estás aprendiendo una metodología del diseño? Tratar con clientes te ayuda a saber a tratar con la gente, pero es que en 99designs no tratas con el cliente, entonces, ¿qué estás aprendiendo? Entiendes que éticamente no está bien, entiendes que se están aprovechando de tu trabajo, entiendes que no es un negocio rentable… pero aún así sigues pensando que es algo bueno. Yo me haría la siguiente pregunta: ¿No estarás confundiendo lo bueno con lo cómodo? I must say something here, although my English is now quite so good. Thanks to ‘Google Translate’ who helped me catch the conversation between Alex and Sergio. Thank you Sergio for, roughly said, opening my eyes. I’ve been designing on 99designs for a month or two now. And guess how much I’ve earned? But in some point i do agree with Alex. sites like 99designs do FORCE you to learn, to stay in touch and to improve day by day. I am certain about one thing. If i’d have an alternative way to POTENTIALLY earn money, i would gladly abandon 99 designs. Not to forget, i will be posting one of my recent designs on your Facebook page so, please, if isn’t hard for you, comment it and rate it. You are a good man Sergio. THANKS. Soy continuo aprendiz de esta profesión aunque no me gano la vida de ello, pues empecé estudiando otra cosa y una vez encontrado trabajo estable me he dado cuenta que lo que me gusta es esto … y es muy difícil lanzarse al vacío tal y como están los puestos de trabajo (sobre todo en España) como para dejar un puesto estable. Cuando estaba empezando en esto del diseño me topé con 12designer, otra de las páginas de las que aquí se comentan y he tardado 2 diseños/proyectos para darme cuenta que esta páginas solo son beneficiosas para el propietario de la página, y por el contrario tenemos a los diseñadores, aprendices o meros aficionados y al cliente. El diseñador, como ya he dicho suele ser aficionado pues los trabajos suelen ser de baja calidad, casi sin ideas y que se encuentra en una lucha encarnizada entre colegas para que al final no sepas nunca lo que quiere el cliente. El cliente, no suelen dar muchas pistas de lo que requieren pero sin embargo buscan gran calidad en su marca. Pues es imposible encontrarte buenos diseñadores, pues además de ser muy muy muy mal pagado (al menos en 12designer), no sabes si al final cobrarás ni siendo el ganador. Y que yo sepa, a nadie le gusta malgastar su tiempo por amor al arte y que otros se lucren con tu trabajo. Soy totalmente partidario de crear blog´s como herramienta de aprendizaje, sin embargo no estoy de acuerdo con trabajar con amigos. Excelente articulo Sergio desde hace un buen tiempo llevo diciéndole a una amiga que se deje de estos concursos pero al parecer no entiende mis bases y hoy encontré este articulo y se lo he enviado espero tener suerte esta vez, siempre he concordado contigo acerca de este tipo de concursos. por cierto lo publique en mi blog, tranquilo que coloque la fuente y el link que los redirige hacia aca, saludos desde venezuela! You should really change the name of the article cause it’s totally misleading. I was wondering why there was a link to it from the No!Spec Facebook page and was ready to bite your head off, until I actually read the post. I really couldn’t agree more with what you say. As a web designer for over 10 years, I have had my fair share of bad experiences. Just today a prospective client asked me if I could do a mockup of his website before deciding to work with me. I flat out told him no because, though in a smaller scale, it’s the exact same thing as competing in crowd-sourcing sites. Besides, and let this be a warning to all novice designers, when a client asks you for spec work, it’s best to avoid him/her unless you are loaded with money, don’t care working for free or are just a masochist. Your work should stand for itself and, believe me, experience will come. Hi Alejandro, I think a bit of irony doesn’t hurt. The tittle is the reason why you read the article, so goal accomplished. I am Newbie in the field of graphics and i do most of my work for free which is not the best practice i think.But i can’t find work for where i go asking for money they never return my calls,I m kinda Newbie so i guess my work is not up to the level of commercialization.Kindly Guide me on how to Start my graphics designing Career.i have the skills of graphics designing and also web designing.but lack the starting guidelines. 1.- Build a portfolio website. 2.- Fill it with good samples. It’s time consuming and requires patience, but it’s the only way to grow… otherwise you always will be in the starting point. I suggest using http://www.webhostingtalk.com forums, the payment won’t be too high but will be a good training. Hola Sergio llegue a este post buscando algo de informacion, mi pregunta puntualmente es, que pasa si yo diseño algo, no gana el contest, pero yo sigo siendo el autor del diseño, osea puedo venderlo en otra situcion, por ejemplo a otro cliente mio, o venderlo por medio de internet a alguien que le guste, esto se puede hacer? http://julioodin.deviantart.com/ he aprendido mucho de tus tutoriales tambien compre uno de ellos en PSD+tuts soy diseñador grafico y tambien hice un diplomado de diseño de paginas web, me gradue el año pasado y si chekas en DA el logo de Magic Box es la compañia que estoy creando, me parecio interesante este articulo de hecho he partcipado para algunos concursos tanto en DA como Talenthouse, creo que en mi caso personal ademas de el dinero que ayuda un poco esta el reconocimiento ante gente de todo el mundo en este tipo de sitios, pero es cierto que uno invierte tiempo y esfuerzo donde el sitio de valora con tu trabajo y ese tiempo creativo puede ser mejor utilizado en crear verdaderamente una marca de tu trabajo y ponerlo en accion, de hecho he trabajado en ventas alrededor de 10 años y decidi crear algo donde puedo tener esa satisfaccion que tu comentas, donde uno pone las reglas, en este momento estoy creando mi portafolio y estoy trabajando en mi primer trabajo como independiente y mi primera pagina web, se que es un poco dificil empezar y construir una reputacion pero lo principal es creer en lo que haces y lo demas vendra por si solo. Hola Julio, muchos ánimos, a la larga no tengas duda de que es el único camino. Suerte! This is an amazing post. I couldn’t agree more! Wouw brother no sabia que existen paginas de este tipo. recién me engancho a tu blog (aun que ya sabia de tus excelentes trabajos), y me estás ayudando mucho!, yo soy un diseñador que ya esta aburrido de trabajar en una agencia (siempre lo mismo mediocridad) y que quiere desarrollarse mas en el area de la ilustración, pero claro siempre esta el temor a fracasar y por ende uno no se lanza, bueno aparte de las deudas que lo enganchan a uno a no dejar el trabajo. Pero en cada post tuyo que leo, me da mas ideas, cosas que ni se cruzaron por la cabeza y que las estoy tomando en cuenta, para por fin darle al 100% a mi proyecto. I totally agree with you. I quit joining contests in 99designs. Valuable info everywhere, thank you. Why GraphicRiver, when some sites pay 10 times more?

Sea water and salt resistant TV display screen manufacturer, Aqualite Outdoor are looking for luxury super yacht owners, captains and mangers, marine architects, super yacht interior designer, luxury boat builders and marine electricians in the USA and Canada. Aqualite are specialist AV and home cinema suppliers to the luxury yacht industry and offer first rate professional design and specification of indoor and outdoor on board cinema, IT, communication, security, lighting and automation systems for luxury motor boats, sailing ships and super yachts. Aqualite are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service possible to achieve the perfect, technologically and aesthetically integrated system, customized to your exact requirements. We work with AV professionals, AV manufacturers, AV distributors, AV dealers, AV contractors and AV consultants and in fact anyone who needs to be involved to ensure that you get the best onboard AV system possible. Aqualite Outdoor manufacture and distribute sun, salt and sea water proof TV display screens for motor boats, sailing yachts, passenger ships, cargo ships, luxury cruise liners, oil rigs and ferries. Aqualite Outdoor was contacted originally to ask for a solution with the supply of TV screens that would be suitable for the exterior entertainment areas on the Sunrays Mega Yacht and these TV screens had to withstand the harsh environment of being situated outdoors whilst at sea. Once we had specified the most suitable product we then moved onto the interior of the yacht and supplied numerous TV”s to be installed into the bathrooms and en-suite areas of each guest bedroom and the owners suite. The Super yacht SUNRAYS ex Y705 is luxurious, powerful and technologically advanced. Measuring 85.5m (280.5ft), the full displacement megayacht features a flared bow with an eye-catching teal coloured hull. Her exterior design is by the late Björn Johansson and the interior design by Terence Disdale. The luxury motor yacht Y705 SUNRAYS is certain to stand out from the crowd. The exceptionally spacious 85.5m luxury yacht features accommodation for up to 16 guests in 8 staterooms including the Master suite with its own lounge, study and private exterior deck area with whirlpool, the Master VIP, 2 double VIP suites, 2 double guest cabins, and 2 twin guest cabins. The luxury yacht’s upper deck houses a master suite with a pool balcony, while a VIP cabin and study room lie behind. Both rooms have foldable sea balconies and can also be connected with the master suite, facilitating the possibility of one large living area. There is a full beam lounge Aft of the quarters. The luxury yacht SUNRAYS’s main deck features the VIP cabin and four guest cabins which connect to each other. Her large dining room can be converted into a video conference room with the optional use of the adjacent library. The unique dining table also transforms into an innovative gyroscopic self-levelling pool table. Foldable sea balconies offer guests an unrestricted view while dining. Thomas Sands, Director of Sands Agricultural Machinery contacted Aqualite with a unique use for an Aqualite High Brightness LCD TV. He wanted a large screen to mount on one of his brand new Horizon agricultural crop-sprayers. Sands Agricultural Machinery celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year, founded in 1975 when the company introduced the very first Self-Propelled Forward Control Crop Sprayer to the UK. In the intervening 40 years, Sands have gone on to become proud British manufacturers of high performance self-propelled crop sprayers, with ranges from 3,000-5,500 litres capacity. All products feature unrivalled standard specifications with optional dual ride and automatic headland boom lift with Boom widths ranging from 12m – 40m. “The 2015 Cereals Show was a great event for us this year” he added. “The screen was perfect, even in some of the very bright conditions we had during the event, the video that we’d worked so hard on certainly paid off. We had some excellent enquiries which we’ve followed up on with some firm orders definitely in the pipe-line. Frank Botman of Botman Sound & Vision in Holland takes up the story. “The reasons why we chose Aqualite waterproof TV display screens for various luxury yacht projects & indeed specifically for the Nassima were a good price to quality ratio and the simple RS232 commands. Compared to the competition the Aqualite LED display had the least depth of the screen and comes in a solid purpose built housing. The Aqualite screen was right on time delivered on Friday September 14 2012 to our boat fitting yard in Holland and here we are today.”On M/Y Nassima, adjacent to the wheel house there is the captain”s cabin, crew cabins for 7 crew members and a crew mess with a fully independent Galley. The interior is coherent thought the three decks and matches the outside style of the yacht. By having the aquarium as a division between the saloon and aft deck, the surrounding environment of the Ocean is brought to life on deck. The Sun Deck is where the Aqualite waterproof TV display Screens is installed & housed in an automatic ceiling lift. A classic, timeless design by Oliver van Meer features an extraordinary stern garage for a car and two motor bikes, as well as a spacious sundeck and a large aquarium on the main deck. The interior is designed by Maja von Dewitz, VDP Studio GmbH and to match the shipyards highest standards, they have been chosen as their production partner. M/Y Nassima will reach a top speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots, her enormous range at 10 knots will be 8600 nautical miles, making her a true long range yacht. The owner will enjoy a large personal gym as well as a spacious owner”s cabin on the upper deck. The lower deck features a spacious, full beam VIP cabin as well as four twin guest cabins.

What is a medium combustion plant or specified generator activity? Do I need a medium combustion plant or specified generator activity permit? Am I covered by a transitional period? Can I qualify for a standard rule permit? How long does a permit application take to process? How can I get help and advice? If you want to know more about the background to medium combustion plant or specified generator activity and our change of approach to permitting then, please read our consultation response. These are burning or power generation activities that create air pollution, and may cause harm to human health and the environment. We need to control harmful emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dust into the air. Look below for a simple explanation of a medium combustion plant and specified generator. Or read the Medium Combustion Plant and Specified Generator guidance for full details. This is any plant or equipment used to burn (combust) materials, including waste, with a rated thermal input between 1 and 50 megawatts. These are any medium combustion plant used to generate electricity, on a site where the total (aggregated) megawatt thermal input is less than 50 megawatts. They are divided into Tranche A and Tranche B categories, depending on their operational start date or the type of electricity supply contract. Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales are aware of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s judgment in the case brought by Tempus Energy against the European Commission in respect of the Commission’s State aid approval for the UK Capacity Market. BEIS have released two statements on their website about the judgment which can be found here. BEIS are working with the Commission to seek timely State aid approval for the Capacity Market. As BEIS makes clear in its statement “the judgment removes State aid approval for the Capacity Market, preventing the UK Government from holding any capacity auctions or making any capacity payments under existing agreements until re-approval. In so far as the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 refer to agreements under the Capacity Market, the judgment does not impact upon these provisions as those agreements remain in place. Please note we have recently issued a Regulatory Decision for the permitting of Tranche B Specified Generators, available below. If you are already carrying out a medium combustion plant or specified generator activity, you may have some time before you need to comply with the new requirements. If you operate under standard rule sets SR2009 No.4, SR2012 No.9, SR2012 No.10, SR2012 No.11 or SR2012 No.12, you can carry on operating under your current permit until the relevant transition period comes to an end. This is either 2024 or 2029. If you want to start operating a new medium combustion plant or specified generator activity, you must apply for a new permit if you don’t have one already. Or apply to change your current permit, so that you can meet the new requirements. If you’re unsure whether you can benefit from a transitional period, or which transitional period applies to you, please ask us for help. We offer eight standard rule permit options for medium combustion plant or specified generator activities. If you can meet the criteria set out in the relevant rule set and accompanying generic risk assessment, you can benefit from a standard rule option. If you can’t meet the criteria for a standard rule option, you must apply for a bespoke permit. Please note we have reduced the screening distance to 5km to determine when an assessment is required of aerial emissions on Habitat’s sites from MCP/SG fired on natural gas or low-sulphur diesel. When using fuels such as biogas and landfill gas the screening distance remains unchanged at 10 km. You must also be confident that you can follow the guidance on how to comply with your environmental permit. You must pay attention to the location and operating restrictions. If you’re happy you can meet the requirements, you can apply for the standard rule permit using the application forms and guidance at the bottom of this page. Remember to also look at ‘Things to consider before you apply’. If you cannot meet all the limitations and requirements, you will need to apply for a bespoke permit. The application forms and guidance tell you what reports, plans, assessments and other information we need. Our environmental permit guidance documents will help you put these things together. Make sure you read all relevant environmental permitting guidance on medium combustion plant or specified generator activities before you apply, and how to comply with your permit. If you’re still not sure about whether you need a permit, or what you must do, we can help. The application form guidance will help you. Please make sure you read it when filling out the forms. If you don’t send us all the information we need, it will take longer to assess your application. The legal guide to assess standard rule applications and surrenders is three months. It is four months for bespoke applications, and two months to transfer the permit holder. It can take longer if we need to ask you for more information. Time starts when we tell you we have all the information we need. The information we need is set out in the application forms and accompanying guidance. Look at our service levels for more information on what you can expect from us. Read the application form guidance before you fill out the forms. This will help you understand the information we need. Read the relevant environmental permitting guidance on medium combustion plant or specified generator activities before you apply, and how to comply with your permit. If you want more help, you can use our pre-application advice service. There may be a charge for this. You can talk to your permit compliance officer if you already have one. If you’re not sure who this is, or you don’t already have one, please get in touch with us.

One cleaning Product That Works! Once in awhile you stumble over a product that works so well you just have to share it with others. The "EZ Detail Bike Brush" is one of those products. How often have you washed your bike but couldn't reach those tight spots like the top of the swing arm, between cylinders, between the frame and engine and... yep, up under the front and rear fenders? How about between the rear fender and your bags without removing the bags? I had seen the website video and a demonstration by the inventors at a local bike show but thought 20 bucks for a brush a little steep. At the '04 Palm Springs "American Heat" bike show I took the plunge and ponied up the Andy Jackson because, after a week in the desert the ol' Nomad was getting pretty grungy. This would be a terrific test. I also remembered an adage my father was fond of, "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap tools." As recommended I filled a bucket with warm water and car washing soap, rinsed as much grunge off the bike as I could with a hose then went to work with the brush. Between wheel spokes, down into tight places between pipes and cylinder heads, even in the spot I always had to go back and get, between the bike lift and crankcase-- the (chemical resistant so you can use mild degreasers if needed) brush went there without scratching a thing. Not a bristle was lost in the process and, once dry the brush stores away in the provided case (picture above). The "EZ Detail Bike Brush" is surely not a cheap tool but it is a very good one even if you only use it a couple of times a year. You can get the Regular or Mini brushes from Amazon.

As part of a week long trip to Eastern Europe, with our main destination set on visiting Auschwitz, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect during the visit. I know no better word to describe my visit to the two Auschwitz concentration camp sites than the word harrowing (extremely disturbing or distressing; grievous). We spent about 6 hours between the two sites, and the visit is something that is nearly impossible to even describe. The best I can do is show you what I experience with a little bit of the history I learned while there and hope just a little piece of my experience can be carried over. This is a place everyone needs to visit when going to Eastern Europe. It is a place that just cannot be grasped without going there yourself. Auschwitz, which had been a Polish barrack prior to World War II with the Germans took over Poland. The Nazi’s then used the site as a concentration camp initially to house Polish prisoners. The camp was expanded and eventually was large enough to house 16,000 people. The entrance gate to Auschwitz was framed with the saying, “Arbeit macht frei” meaning “Work will set you free.” It was intended to give a false hope to the people imprisoned there. As we walked through the gate to what felt like a very large site we tried to comprehend the number of people that would have been imprisoned here.The guidebook said that by the end of the camp, there were 16,000 people imprisoned here. Many of the buildings held memorials and historical information about the events of the war and the things that happened here. It was hard to take in everything that we read and saw. One of the most moving exhibits was these rows of proped up striped uniforms behind barbed wire fencing. They looked as if marching to their death with a wall of actual photos of people from the camps in the background. It was a horrible thing that took place here, and it is so important that we learn about and remember what happened so that history is not repeated. The heart wrenching memorials continued with exhibit rooms filled with belongings of the people from the Auschwitz camps – including their pottery, shoes, suitcases, even their hair which was crudely shaved from their heads before they were sent to work or to their death. It was at Auschwitz I where they trialed the first crematory and gas chamber. Walking in through the gas chamber was something that is hard to put into words. You could just feel the impact of this place and see the claw prints on the walls from the innocent people who were locked in and poisoned by gas. The gas chamber lead to the crematorium where they would then dispose of the bodies by fire. This gas chamber was eventually put out of use as they expanded their extermination efforts with a series of gas chambers at the nearby Auschwitz II – Birkenau. At Auschwitz I also experimented with mass sterilization, experimentation on twins, drug trials and more. These inhumane experiments left survivors permanently disabled and many were killed either for the experiments or during experimentation due to the effects. Many executions took place at Auschwitz as well. It was a place of so much death that it was hard to be there and experience everything that this place once was, but so important to do so. We spent about 3 hours at this camp, then went back to the apartment for lunch and to head to the second site. Just 2 miles from Auschwitz I, the Germans began to build a second camp, Auschwitz II – Birkenau that would become the largest Nazi concentration camp and a place of mass extermination of Jews and other captives. It was important that we had visited Auschwitz I first to learn of the history and see the exhibits so that we could come to this second site with more awareness. But when we walked through the large entrance gates and onto the railway tracks that brought so many people here we were completely blown away by the sheer size and capacity of this second camp. We had thought the first camp was large. This second camp, was impossible to grasp the magnitude. Most of the sites lay in ruins with just the brick fireplaces and foundation still in place, which makes it such a harrowing site to see cabin after cabin in ruins but as far as you could see in both directions. The camp was being built to hold 200,000 prisoners on 432 acres of land, but was only partially completed by the spring of 1944 with more than 300 buildings on the site and 11 miles of electrified barbed-wire fencing! The tracks that ran right through the entrance of the camp to the very back of the camp brought in the prisoners who would then undergo a “selection” where the majority were deemed unfit to work. In most train loads brought in, 75% or more of the people were sent immediately to the gas chambers to be killed. We were able to see the ruins of these gas chambers, as they were destroyed towards the end of the war to hide evidence of their war crimes committed. Those not immediately killed would be sent through an humiliating process at the “Sauna” house. The people would be filled through a series of rooms, sometimes taking hours between each of the rooms. Their belongings were taken from them including their clothing, their heads were crudely shaved, they were then showered en mass with often very hot or very cold water and disinfected. From there, they would be given a camp uniform and wooden clogs along with a camp number. The people were then shuttled into one of the barracks. We were able to go into one of the wooden barracks that was designed to hold 400 people, with a total of 15 people per triple bunk. In practice, the bunk platforms would hold 10 people sleeping on simple straw mats with not enough room to even roll over. There was an incredibly moving display of the prisoners photographs of their peaceful and happy lives up until this horrific war. To see these thriving people that lived lives very similar to my own was heartbreaking. I tried to grasp all that they were put through during these terrible years, but it was impossible to experience the gravity of the events that took place here. In the Auschwitz camps, it is estimated that over 1.3 million people were brought including over a million Jews. Of those brought to the camp, over 1,100,000 people were killed the majority of which were gassed and cremated. About 90% of the victims were Jews. from various countries of Europe. It is my hope that we will learn from the past and never let something like this ever happen again. In order to hold this resolve, we must try our best to grasp the cruelties that have happened at places like Auschwitz. By understanding them we will better be able to spot and fight against the cruelties of humanity and stand up against what is so clearly wrong. I would absolutely recommend taking a trip to Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II – Birkenau, it is a place that everyone should visit as it is an experience you will never be able to forget. To see how we set off on a 7-day vacation while sticking to a $1,000 budget, see our tips for budget-friendly travel. Then, read about the rest of our journey through 5 different European countries. Auschwitz was just one of our stops, but needed it’s own post to cover this incredible place. Read on to experience the rest of our vacation including an easy itinerary you can follow! Wow, this is heart breaking indeed, I am always interested in learning more about history. I couldn’t even phantom living back in that time nor any of my family being in that camp. I would love to have my family visit Auschwitz concentration camp, I’m sure it would be very emotional that’s for sure! We went there several years ago, it really is a place you never forgot and leaves such a lasting impression. I can only imagine how heavy it must be to be there, to know what had happened. I think it would be a meaningful experience to share with my family when all of my kids are a little older. We just watched Defiant last night and not sure if that was anything like your grandfather’s experience, but it was definitely amazing all that they went through hiding in the forests!! I was so inspired that seeing these people through it all not lose their faith! It is an important thing that Auschwitz still stands so that we can be reminded of what happened here. I enjoy visiting historical places like this. I like WWII history, so visiting this would be at the top of the list. I can only imagine how horrendous the place was back then. Thank you for sharing this. It is heartbreaking, but also so very important that this horror not be forgotten or repeated. What an amazing experience. So sad and heart-wrenching. Thanks for sharing Your photos are great.

Martin Scorsese and Robert Di Niro will collaborate for the first time in decades. Martin Scorsese's "Silence" may have been his 28-year-old passion project, but it was mostly ignored by audiences, grossing only $7 million in the U.S. opposite a $40 million budget. Something tells us the same fate won't meet the director's next project, which carries an even bigger budget and bigger stars. Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Departed" Scorsese has built his career on iconic gangster movies, from "Goodfellas" to "Casino," "Mean Streets" and "The Departed," so his return to the genre after more than a decade is cause for celebration. "The Irishman" is based on the 2003 book "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Charles Brandt, which recounts the years Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran spent as a mob hitman. Brandt interviewed Sheeran over a five-year period, during which the mobster confessed to being involved in more than 25 hits for the mob. Sheeran was allegedly involved in the death of legendary mob boss Jimmy Hoffa, who went missing in July 1975 and was never found. Anyone hoping for Scorsese to capture the cinematic energy of "Goodfellas" once again may want to lower their expectations. It appears the filmmaker is going to be making a much more elegiac and sobering gangster movie this time around. "The Irishman" picks up with Sheeran as an older man as he looks back on the hits that defined his mob career. "The people are also older in 'The Irishman,' it's certainly more about looking back, a retrospective so to speak of a man's life and the choices that he's had to make," Scorsese told The Independent in May. As to whether the movie follows in the tradition of "Goodfellas"? He told the outlet, "I think this is different, I think it is. I admit that there are - you know, 'Goodfellas' and 'Casino' have a certain style that I created for them - it's on the page in the script actually…The style of the picture, the cuts, the freeze-frames, all of this was planned way in advance, but here it's a little different." Robert De Niro in "Casino" Scorsese and Robert De Niro's careers are intertwined after making eight movies together, including "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull" and "The King of Comedy." But the duo haven't made a movie together since "Casino," which was released 22 years ago in November 1995. "The Irishman" will mark their ninth collaboration. While Scorsese's career in the two decades since has remained strong, De Niro hasn't really had a critically acclaimed lead dramatic role in several years. He earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for "Silver Linings Playbook," but reuniting with Scorsese is just what his big screen career needs most right now. Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro in "Goodfellas" The supporting cast for "The Irishman" is truly an embarrassment of riches: Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Ray Romano and Bobby Cannavale. But arguably the most anticipated bit of casting is Joe Pesci, who has only had two credits to his name this century: A cameo in De Niro's 2006 CIA drama "The Good Shepherd" and a lead role in Taylor Hackford's 2010 flop "Love Ranch." Prior to 2006, Pesci hadn't starred in a single movie since 1998's "Lethal Weapon 4." The semi-retired actor is officially coming back to the big screen for a "Goodfellas" reunion with Scorsese and De Niro. Pesci had been rumored to be joining "The Irishman," but his casting wasn't confirmed until earlier this month. He's reportedly playing Russell Bufalino, a Mafia boss operating out of Pennsylvania who has long been suspected of having a hand in Hoffa's disappearance. The character means we'll most likely be seeing Pesci and De Niro in scenes opposite one another. Scorsese and Pesci have made three movies together. Pesci won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his turn in "Goodfellas." "The Irishman" will follow in the footsteps of "Hugo" as a Scorsese movie that depends heavily on visual effects. The director is teaming with George Lucas' VFX company Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to utilize the same effects used on Brad Pitt in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" so that De Niro can be digitally aged to look younger in the flashback scenes. "The Irishman" will include flashbacks that span decades, and De Niro is set to play Sheeran in all of them. He'll appear as young as 30 years old. The visual effects required for "The Irishman" are part of the reason the film's budget is over the $100 million mark. That's a massive price tag for any filmmaker, and it's why Scorsese has taken up shop at Netflix to make the movie despite his love of the theatrical experience over streaming. "The Irishman" has been in development since 2008 and was originally going to be backed by Paramount Pictures, but the studio couldn't afford to take on such a risky budget. International rights were purchased by STX Entertainment for $50 million at Cannes 2016, but they backed down after Netflix took over for Paramount and bought worldwide streaming rights. "The Irishman" is officially shooting in New York City this summer, with a production start date set for the middle of August. Principal photography is scheduled until December. The five-month shoot will just a bit longer than the filming of "Silence," which took place in Taiwan from January 30 to May 15, 2015. But it's nothing compared to "Gangs of New York" shoot. That massive production lasted for nearly eight months (August 2000 - April 2001). Matin Scorsese and Andrew Garfield on the set of "Silence" A lot of attention surrounding "The Irishman" is being paid to the people appearing in front of the camera, but just as exciting are the collaborators joining Scorsese behind it. Most notable is cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, who has become a favorite of Scorsese's in recent years after shooting both "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Silence." The latter earned him his second Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. His first was for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005. Prieto first earned attention for his work with Alejandro González Iñárritu ("Amores perros," "21 Grams" and "Babel"). Screenwriter Steve Zallian, meanwhile, adapted the book for the big screen. Zallian, who just earned an Emmy nomination for directing his HBO limited series "The Night Of," wrote the script for Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" and earned an Oscar nomination. He won Best Adapted Screenplay for "Schindler's List" in 1993. Scorsese's longtime editor Thelma Schoonmaker will also return for "The Irishman." She was the editor on the director's 1967 feature debut, "Who's That Knocking at My Door," and has edited all of his films since "Raging Bull" in 1980. Her work with Scorsese has resulted in six Oscar nominations for Best Editing and three wins ("Raging Bull," "The Aviator" and "The Departed"). And now for the bad news: "The Irishman" won't be released until 2019. At the very earliest we could get an Oscar-qualifying run in select theaters in late December 2018, but reports say Netflix is eyeing a day-and-date rollout in 2019. Because of the extensive VFX work required, it makes sense the movie won't open for a year after the cameras stop rolling. Let the long wait for "The Irishman" begin.

The Focused event fires when the /TextBox gains focus - typically when a client clicks/taps on a TextBox to begin text entry. This also fires if a TextBox forces focus on the user. It can be used alongside TextBox.FocusLost to track when a TextBox gains and loses focus. This example works when placed in a /LocalScript that is the child of a TextBox. When the TextBox gains focus, the example prints “Focus”.

The Noriker or Noric horse is one of the oldest mountain draft horses in Europe, originating in the foothills of the highest Austrian mountains, Grossglockner, and being indigenous to the Central Alpine regions. Initially used for transporting a lot of goods from one place to the other, they are immensely popular in the present times because of its pleasant temperament, surefootedness, and agility. Colors Bay, black and chestnut are the basic coat colors, they also appear in a variety of other striking colors like roan, blue roan, overos, tobianos, as well as the spotted leopard complex. Health Though it has no known breed-related health problems, proper care, and regular health checkups is essential. Popular Traits Well-balanced, sure-footed; agile; possesses climbing ability. These horses attain their name from Noricum, a Celtic kingdom and a province of the Roman Empire. According to the data provided by the International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds in the year 1995, their breeding began in Thessaly, a region in Greece, which was also famous for developing war horses. They were said to be the heaviest breed created for this purpose. After the fall of the Greeks, the Romans, who excelled in the art of horse breeding, setting up stud farms in their kingdom, continued the tradition of developing the Noriker horses. However, the role of Romans in creating these horses is still a matter of question as according to certain proven artifacts these horses were said to exist as early as the first millennium before Christ era, used for transportation and trading through the Alps Mountains. Since as early as this time up to the nineteenth century they played a pivotal role in enhancing trade between the Central part of Europe and the Adriatic region. In fact, they were used for carrying a variety of goods like Celtic iron, salt, and gold while journeying from Salzburg to Italy, whereas, on returning they would bring along with them spices and wine. During the 20th century, as industrialization set in, they began to be used for agricultural purpose. At present, they have emerged as fabulous sport horses also being well-suited for children to handle. Vulkan-Line: This line is the most popular one with the founder stallions as well as their descendants represent the heavy draft horse kind. Nero-Line: The Noriker stallion, 1378 Stoissen-Nero V/977, foaled in the year 1931 was a part of this line. Diamant –Line: This line began during the first part of the 20th century, and the horses belonging to this line were agile. Schaunitz –Line: Horses hailing from this line in the present times are small-sized along with proper movements. Elmar-Line: The influence of the baroque horses are seen in breeds belonging to this line as most of them possess a unique coat color along with a smaller-stature and lighter build. The leopard spotted coat color is also visible. The Noriker horse is an integral part of the Kufenstechen, a traditional festival in the Feistritz an der Gail region of Austria, where young men who are unmarried ride on the back of these horses and attempt to hit on a wooden barrel using an iron hammer. Though historically known as the Pinzgauer they underwent a name change by the end of the nineteenth century because of the Romanophile attitude, after which they were called as Noriker horse. The Pinzgauer High-Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle was named after this breed.

Chemical spraying for weed and pest control is generally permitted without needing resource consent. The sprays and any drift should be limited to your property to avoid any effects on neighbours or non-target areas. Spraying for weed and pest control is generally permitted without a resource consent provided you comply with the following requirements. Neighbours must be notified unless they agree not to be or if the agrichemicals are applied with hand operated and manually pressurised spray equipment. Notification should include the areas to be sprayed, the dates and times of spraying and the measures that will be used to prevent or minimise spray drift. Different notification requirements apply if spraying is done from the ground or from the air (see the Regional Air Quality Plan or contact the Council’s consents staff). Avoid environmental problems by following the guidelines in our Regional Air Quality Plan and Regional Freshwater Plan. Note the Guidelines in the Freshwater Plan on the use of aquatic herbicides. Notify the Council as soon as you can if there is an accidental or unintended discharge of agrichemicals. Keep good records of your agrichemical use. This should include the name of the user, the agrichemical equipment and methods of use, the volume and concentration of the agrichemical used, the locality, area and date of application, and the location and nature of any sensitive areas. Your records should also include weather conditions at the time of application, including wind speed and direction and any abnormal situation or incident. You will need to supply these details to the Council on request. You must meet all of these requirements. Otherwise, you will need a resource consent. Full details of the requirements can be found in the Regional Air Quality Plan and Regional Freshwater Plan. Applying fertiliser to land is generally permitted without the need for a resource consent. The fertiliser does not spread into any water (including streams, lakes, drains or wetlands). Aerial operators should take particular care to avoid waterways. The fertiliser has been approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries. There is minimal chance of the fertiliser drifting off your property or on to non-target areas – consider the wind direction. Dust and odour is minimized. Pungent fertilisers such as chicken litter are not spread on hot, still afternoons or are mixed into soil to reduce odour. It is good practice to prepare a nutrient budget and management plan to provide a total farm system for managing nutrients. This will benefit your bottom-line profitability as well as the environment.

The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs began construction on the State Veterans Cemetery at Medical Lake in 2009. The $8.8 million project was a collaborative partnership between the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs and the VA under the Federal VA Cemetery Construction Grant Program. This initial Federal Grant paid 100% of the design and construction costs, and provided for the initial purchase of equipment. The State of Washington was responsible for the initial purchase of the land and all future operating costs. The cemetery recently received a $2.4 million expansion grant for additional capital improvements as part of an ongoing facility master plan. This grant provided for additional interment capacity, improved facility security and addressed additional infrastructure needs. Funds from the purchase of Armed Forces License Plates contribute to operation and maintenance expenses of the State Veterans Cemetery. Veterans, active duty, guard, reserve and their family members are eligible to purchase a plate for multiple vehicles at any vehicle licensing office. Fees may be used as tax deductible donations. There are many opportunities for individuals to volunteer their time or resources at the State Veterans Cemetery.

sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted to make things clear. I am a LAMS developer. Till now, we were using JBoss Cache 1.4.2 on JBoss 4.0.2. It was deployed as a MBean and was made available by JMX as "jboss.cache:service=TreeCache". The new idea was to use the latest JBoss Cache 3.1.0. and we only have one, local instance of Cache. The suggested way of deploying Cache is to use "-jboss-beans.xml" For our needs, "lams-cache-jboss-beans.xml" was written. But there is problem with Hibernate 3.3 integration. I want to use SharedJBossCacheRegionFactory. It looks for the Cache config file (treecache.xml) and builds its own instance. But in LAMS we need access to cache from withing the code too. We have a special website for Admins where they can lookup and manipulate the cache. So we need a separately deployed Cache instance, like the way we did before. CacheFactory and we have only the interface, which can not be exposed. Then, there is CacheJmxWrapper class. It wraps the Cache and allows JMX exposition. we have it only in JMX. So we need to expose it to JNDI. Standard <jndi-name> tag does not work - parser will not read it. It gets the cache from JMX and exposes it to JNDI. Cache itself! For our Admin code it is OK, but for Hibernate it's not. It would not accept the exposed bean. The question is: is there a way to expose the Cache itself to JNDI, to make Hibernate accept it and also get it for Admin? Currently SharedJBossCacheRegionFactory is used and a local instance of Cache is created. It is not exposed to JMX, so we do not have access to it from within the code. until a way to utilise lams-cache-jboss-beans.xml is found. No answer ever came, so I reply to myself. For upcoming LAMS release, we are using pretty much the same version of JBoss as 3 years ago, JBoss 5.1.0. This means that no new tools are available in JBoss to solve cache access problem. After extensive search, no solution to expose same Cache instance both to Hibernate and CacheManager using JMX/JNDI was found. This may be possible after upgrade to newer major JBoss version, but for LAMS 2.4 another solution was needed. CacheManager gets now Hibernate SessionFactory injected by Spring. This way it can in limited manner manipulate 2nd level cache. Very frustrating, but this was the best we could do with given tools. I've just made a comment in that link, but essentially, it should be Hibernate who, independent of the cache provider, should provide such API to clear all caches in a session factory. I've opened a dev discussion in the Hibernate mailing list. Btw, there's new API in Hibernate that allows evicting all entity, collection and query regions, see http://java.dzone.com/tips/clearing-hibernate-second-leve where Steve Ebersole, Hibernate lead, has commented further. At the moment we are using Hibernate 3.2 and the new methods are available in 3.5. We are not planning an upgrade for our upcoming product release, so we'll just stick to the existing solution. Nevertheless, we might just use this information in the future.

While technically summer doesn’t start until June 21st, Memorial Day tends to be the unofficial start of the season. With this in mind, the outdoor Summer Movie series in historic Ellicott City has begun, presented by/at The Wine Bin. On Saturday nights from June through September, they close their parking lot an hour before show time, so that viewers can set up chairs or blankets and enjoy any picnic items they’ve brought. Additionally, the Wine Bin offers a wine tasting before each movie and even offers coolers of ice to chill the drinks you purchase from them. You can even purchase popcorn and bottled water, with proceeds benefiting Voices for Children of Howard County. Movies through August begin at 9:00pm and then at 8:00pm in September. The selections range from newer movies all the way back to ‘50s classics, with this weekend offering the ‘80s hit Footloose. Be sure to check out the summer schedule below, then get out and enjoy these great, free events!

My family owns an automotive machine shop where I work. We have done several race motors over the last few years, but we do mostly non-racing work. We have started doing more race engines under the name Maniac Racing Engines. Our engines have several wins in different classes including street stock, modified street, open wheel modified and limited late model. I grew up around the race track. My dad raced stock cars and modifieds as long as I can remember. When he finally won the track championship in an IMCA modified, he decided it was time for him to quit racing and let me race full time. We went cart racing, competing in several states across the midsouth. After several successful years in carts, I decided to go car racing. After a decent run my first night out, I drew a front row outside starting position for the second night. On the start of the race I got into the corner too high and left the track airborne and flipped several times, destroying my car. While I was in the process of rebuilding my car, I had the opportunity to team up with a friend and move to the Limited Late Model division. We ran about 10 races in it last season with one win and became a consistent top 5 finisher. So far this season we have won 2 races at 2 different tracks and are 7th in points only 23 behind the leader at Thunderhill Raceway in Summertown,TN. My current ride is a 2012 Pierce by Putnam Chassis powered by a Maniac Racing Engine Limited Late Model.
