Employees spend a lot of time together so work satisfaction is crucial.
3 What Are the Causes of Job Satisfaction in the Workplace?
Workplace satisfaction helps companies extract the best performance from their employees. Happy associates represent the company in a positive light, while dissatisfied members bring down the production curve. A 2001 study sponsored by Wolters Kluwer states, "Trust has a significant impact on important organizational factors." The top five factors that contribute to satisfaction in the workplace depend on organizational trust. It's important that employees and managers know what's needed for peak production at a small business.
Inability to move up the career path leads to employee frustration and overall dissatisfaction. Companies that clearly present career path requirements will experience happy, motivated team members. Employees need to know what the requirements are for each position in the department. You, as the employer, need to understand that in-house promotions lead to better workplace loyalty and overall employee output. When advancement requirements are vague, employees feel stagnant or unimportant to the company.
The chain of command is a reliable force when it works properly. However, if employees feel their voice is lost in company red tape, they lose trust with their organization. Employees need consistent, regular access to company management to voice their concerns, present solutions and offer streamlining suggestions. Employees must have access to management through email, one-on-one or group meetings.
Individuals spend a lot of time at work. It is safe to say that work may seem like their home away from home. Since they spend so much time with coworkers and management, they need a pleasant work environment. Argumentative and uncivil coworkers, broken equipment and unsafe work areas leave employees unhappy. Courteous team members, the right equipment and clean, roomy work spaces make employees happy.
When employees are paid well and compensated competitively for their work, they feel valued. Employees want to trust that their organization will pay them what they are worth. Rewarding hard work with bonuses plus perks will develop a layer of employee loyalty other companies can't imitate. For the employee, worthy wages goes a long way towards overall satisfaction at work.
One way employers can boost the satisfaction at work is to offer job security. Employers that publish their quarterly forecasts in-house along with seminars to explain results are smart. They know that employees want to know all they can about the changing markets, especially in reference to their jobs. Knowing employees are safe from the dreaded pink slip will keep them happy and producing sales for the organization.

Videregen Limited, a clinical stage regenerative medicine company developing personalised organ replacements, has been awarded European orphan medicinal product status for its lead tissue-engineered replacement trachea product. The designation, for severe tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe), is an important recognition by the European Medicines Agency of the potential of the replacement trachea in the treatment of this life-limiting rare disease. Orphan drug status will help expedite development of the replacement trachea, which is beginning a Phase I clinical trial, into a commercially available product. | 2019-04-21T06:21:30 | http://regener8.ac.uk/latest-news/art/665/videregens-lead-product-granted-eu-orphan-drug-status.htm |

Here’s a list of 13 marketing tips that require very little money but maybe a little of your time and ingenuity. Some of them you’re probably already doing, while others might be worth adding to your marketing plan.
1. Social media done well is free!
Okay, so I bang on about this one quite a lot and it’s absolutely true. Social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have opened up a whole world of marketing opportunities for small businesses that never used to be there. You can build a community of fans and followers with regular and interesting posts about your business – just keep it relevant and keep it classy. Pick the platforms where you think most of your target market will be and put a little time and effort into rewarding them for stopping by with decent content.
This one can be a little overlooked by small businesses, but it’s worth taking a leaf out of what bigger businesses do and offering your services to media outlets. You’ll see spokespeople from big corporates like banks spruiking their expert opinions on TV and radio but there’s no reason you can’t look to do the same.
Think about your area of expertise and knowledge and then look to match that with something like a local radio show or even a YouTube series. Talkback radio shows are often looking for guests to talk about all sorts of topics, from gardening to tech and everything else. Don’t be afraid to get in touch with the producers of a show and let them know you’re available to talk.
I love online and think it’s a godsend when it comes to marketing for businesses. However, it’s very hard to beat the persuasive power of an in-person meet and greet. Don’t get stuck behind the desk and forgo the power of meeting people face to face. Head along to business networking events and mingle with people in your field and beyond because you never know where that next big break is going to come from. Talking to people in real life can really break the ice and ease the path to rewarding business relationships. Keep an eye out for local business events as well as events specific to your profession or industry.
This can be tough because we’re not all confident writers, but that’s not the point – you’re not writing a novel, you’re writing about your profession. Once you start writing you’ll be surprised at how much you know and have to say about your field of endeavour. Having a regular blog on your website makes sense from an SEO standpoint but it also demonstrates to customers that you know what you’re on about and care about it.
Once you’ve got your blog up and running, try your hand at writing an article for a trade publication or even pitch something to bigger publications, like my friends here at SmartCompany. There’s no guarantee it will be published, but if it is, that’s thousands of more people who will have heard of you and your company.
This is an extension of the above, but is more of a vehicle for showcasing just how much you know about an industry. Producing a white paper positions you as a thought leader in your field and it is a great marketing tool to have on your website. You can simply ask people to provide their contact details in exchange for access to the white paper on your site. This gives you plenty of qualified leads and contacts to follow up with an email campaign.
This is housekeeping stuff but you should be making sure you’ve given Google all the necessary information so that people can easily find you. The more fastidious you are with Google the better you will do in search rankings. The best place to start is to head to the Google My Business site for a complete rundown on what you need to do.
This is an old chestnut that has been updated for the world of social media. A lot of companies used to run contests via their local newspaper or other media outlets. Now you can run contests on your own website and across your social media platforms. The more fun and compelling the contest, and the better the prizes on offer, the more likely you are to get traction with customers. Just be sure to check the terms and conditions required to run contests in your local area.
Similar to writing a blog, becoming an educator is a great way to share your skills and promote your business. Of course this will depend on your profession, but there is such a demand out there from people to learn new skills that you will probably be surprised at how popular this might become for you. It might be as simple as organising a one-off seminar at your local library or neighbourhood house. This gives you a great way to meet prospective new customers and to highlight your skills.
People who give receive in return. There are plenty of great local charities and organisations crying out for local businesses to get involved. The immediate returns might not be obvious but local organisations can be fantastic gateways to building networks and making connections with influential people.
Find an organisation that might need your skills or one that resonates with your beliefs. Before long you’ll find that people within the organisation will be recommending your business to their friends and you’ll be doing good while promoting your business at the same time.
I’ve covered how easy it is to make an instructional YouTube video before and you can do it at no cost. So many people are looking for instructional videos online for all kinds of topics that it’s really just a lost opportunity for your business not to get in on the act. Once you make your first video it just becomes easier and easier to keep making more.
This is a tried and trusted method for building brand loyalty. We see it everywhere from the local cafe with its customer loyalty card through to the more sophisticated programs run by the big corporates. This is all about looking after your loyal customers and gently reminding them that if they’re happy with your work, maybe they can recommend you to a friend and get 20% off on their next purchase, for example.
There are plenty of business awards out there, many of them industry specific. Have a look around and you might be able to find one that fits in perfectly with what you do. Being awarded a prize or award is a great feather in the cap for a business and it can provide some handy publicity as well. It also gives you something to promote on your website and lends credibility to your business.
Once again this is almost laughably old-fashioned, but it can work. Your local cafe will usually have space at the front counter for local business cards and it’s worth putting a little stack in there.
It’s also worth even going door-to-door at your local shopping strip and introducing yourself to fellow business owners, leaving a business card as a sign of friendship and goodwill. Your fellow business owners might be just the type of customers your business is looking for. | 2019-04-25T03:08:58 | https://www.smartcompany.com.au/marketing/no-money-marketing-easy-tips-zero-budget-small-businesses/?ref=quuu&utm_source=quuu |
My wine reviews include Gamay wines with high scores for their superb quality and taste, and their prices often reflect this as they tend to be more expensive. These Gamay wines achieve a score of 90 points or higher out of 100 and are often the wines that have the greatest aging ability and are therefore great Gamay wines for your cellar. They are also often the top ranked wines on many lists, especially in fine restaurants, with ratings that reflect their craftsmanship. You'll also find my reviews of Gamay wines that are less expensive, but still represent great value. This is just a small set of my wine reviews: when you join my wine community, you can access all of my reviews. | 2019-04-25T17:50:49 | https://www.nataliemaclean.com/top-gamay-wine |

Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Corn, Wheat and Soybean extended their losses Tuesday.
The most active Corn contract for Jul delivery lost 25 cents, or 5.93%, to close at 3.9625 bu.
Jul Wheat delivery fell 14.50 cents, or 3.07%, to settle at 4.585 bu.
Jul Soybean dropped 10.25 cents, or 0.90%, to close at 11.3325 bu.
Corn settled sharply lower on technical selling, agriculture analysts said, adding that the rain weather forecast in the US Midwest prompted funds’ selling.
The Corn market paced the decline on fund liquidation. According to a Chicago-based agriculture consultancy, funds have sold 24,000 contracts of corn before mid-day Tuesday.
Wheat and Soybean followed Corn’s sharp decline Tuesday, according to agriculture analysts.
In its weekly crop progress report released late Monday, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) rated 75% of US Corn in good to excellent condition as of the week ending 19 June, unchanged from the previous week, but 4% lower than prior year.
USDA said that Winter Wheat harvested finished 14% higher than the previous week. USDA rated 61% of it in good to excellent condition, also unchanged form the prior week. However, the USDA rated 76% of Spring Wheat in good to excellent condition, 2% lower than the previous week.
USDA rated Soybean as 73% in good to excellent condition, which was 1% lower than the prior week.
USDA also said in its daily export sales report Tuesday morning that private exporters reported export sales of 132,000 tonnes of Soybean for delivery to China and export sales of 126,000 tonnes of Soybean for delivery to unknown destinations.
The USDA also announced export sales of 40,000 tonnes of Soybean Oil for delivery to China. | 2019-04-23T21:52:22 | https://www.livetradingnews.com/chicago-agriculture-commodities-finished-lower-5-7489.html |
I always refer to this recipe as Grandma Jeannie’s Noodle Pudding. Grandma died when I was six years old and I never saw her make this treat; but Anna Mae, the wonderful woman who worked for my family for 60 years, made them every year for Break Fast. She told me they were Grandma’s recipe and I guess that idea stuck. At some point, over 30 years ago, when Break Fast moved to my house, Anna Mae started making the noodle puddings in my kitchen. I used to stand next to her and watch her boil the noodles and mix them up with cottage cheese and sour cream etc.-tasting as she went along. Anna Mae liked to bake the puddings in tin foil muffin pans that she bought near her apartment uptown. Three years ago, shortly before she died, Anna Mae made her last noodle puddings with me. I bought large 12 portion non-stick muffin pans to make life easier for her; but she wasn’t happy using them; and insisted on using up her foil pans first.
Last year was the first time I made the noodle puddings by myself-without Anna Mae by my side. You know what-they weren’t very good. I guess I wasn’t ready-or maybe I hadn’t done enough tasting as I went along. This year, I made them again. I remembered Anna Mae added a lot of salt to the water before she put the noodles in. I channeled her hand pouring in the salt and it worked. They were delicious-just the right balance of salt, sugar, cottage cheese and cinnamon. The baton has been passed. Anna Mae never used a written recipe. She cooked from her heart and head. I have worked out her recipes so that my children and grandchildren can access their forebears a little bit through food memory. In some cases, that is all we have.
When my Mother stopped eating dairy products, Anna Mae came up with a way of adding apples instead of cheese to the mix. Try my Noodle Pudding with Apples and Arils!
Note: You can definitely make these puddings with butter. I find them too rich that way; so I use Earth Balance margarine.
Preheat oven to: 350° F. Spray muffin tins and set aside.
While noodles are boiling, beat eggs in mixing bowl with sugar and cinnamon. When noodles are al dente, drain them in a colander. Add drained noodles and margarine to the egg mixture. Stir well. Add cottage cheese and sour cream. Stir again. Taste! Add more sugar, salt and cinnamon if necessary.
Fill greased muffin tins to the top and sprinkle them with cinnamon. Bake 40 minutes or until the tops have browned. Despite having sprayed non stick pans, I run a spatula around the outside of the puddings to assure that they come out easily. You can either invert pan and release muffins onto cooling rack or lift them out carefully with spatula. I'm happier lifting them out to be sure no noodle is left behind. Serve noodle puddings warm with sour cream on the side.
To freeze: Cool puddings completely and freeze them in single layers separated by waxed paper and wrapped tightly in foil. Defrost completely before reheating in 350° F. oven for about 10-15 minutes. | 2019-04-21T04:58:55 | http://kosherbygloria.com/noodle-pudding-2/ |

Ill, elderly patients, and non-drivers face transportation challenges every day. This also includes patients who can’t access public transportation or mass transit. This creates anxiety in the patient as they have to deal with the stress of trying to find out how they are going to make it to their next medical appointment. What’s worse, what are those to do that don’t have available family members to take them to said appointments? Non-emergency medical transportation ACC medlink is the only answer for many. Non-emergency medical transportation is for those who need nonlife-threatening assistance other than a car or taxi. These special transportation services have the capabilities to assist patients who are in wheelchairs, stretchers or have other special needs. Imagine how difficult it can be for someone wearing a cast to board and use public transportation.
This also makes it impossible and in most cases illegal for such patients to operate their own motor vehicle. Patients who have just gotten out of surgery are also most likely under the influence of pain medication which also impairs their ability to drive. Getting to follow-up appointments is often crucial to recovery. Non-emergency medical transportation services are usually booked through transportation brokers. They are the middlemen who can locate transport providers that are available to you and can schedule them to take you to your destination.
The brokers can find many different types of non-medical transportation such as; standard vehicles and specialized vehicles to fit any patient’s needs. Wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walkers, gurneys and the entire realm of non-emergency medical equipment that a person may have should be manageable with these modern systems. Non-medical transportation and their brokers are so important in allowing those to maintain their independence without putting a burden on their friends and family. This lessening of anxiety amongst the patient can help them through a speedy recovery. Prices vary because they are based on your specific needs and the length of where you need to travel. Your non-medical transportation broker will help you find transportation that is within your budget.
Patients rely on non-medical transportation because if for not, they wouldn’t be able to travel to and from important medical services. Sadly over 3.6 million people and those low-income patients delay or lack medical care due to inaccessibility to transportation. As previously mentioned, the method of transportation that you choose is dependent on your current state of health. If you are fully mobile you will be able to easily use a taxicab or a personal automobile to get you to the medical center of your choosing, using your own car or a taxi is a great way to ensure that you get to your location safely and on time. If you cannot operate your car or even enter a vehicle you can transport via a wheelchair accessible transportation service.
These cars are designed with lifts that will help you and your wheelchair reach your medical appointment or other destination. These electric lifts allow the client/patient to be loaded into the vehicle while remaining in the wheelchair the entire time. For those who have even more serious mobility issues, they can use AmbuTrans services that are extremely beneficial. AmbuTrans vehicles have all of the equipment necessary to ensure a limited amount of care while making sure you are at your most comfort. This type of non-medical transportation service is staffed by medical professionals that have the experience to assist you with all types of medical conditions. | 2019-04-22T12:14:52 | http://www.sr-nc.com/ |
1) Timing: Dance each figure within its musical phrase.
2) Giving Weight: Keep arms firm to support each other through the figures.
3) Eye contact: Eye contact is an important part of contra dancing. It is more fun and it reduces dizziness during swinging.
4) Smooth and Gentle: Move with an easy walking step.
5) Alert: Be sensitive to others’ needs and preferences.
Less experienced dancers are encouraged to ask those whom you perceive to be more experienced to dance with you. You will learn faster, and have more fun if you dance with more experienced dancers.
Learn the basics before trying to put in the extra flourishes. Coming to our Beginner’s Crash Course can help you learn the basics, and as you continue coming to the dances, you can try new movements to change up the dance.
If you make a mistake or miss a figure, no worries, it’s all in fun! Smile, and instead of rushing through the botched figure, skip it and go on to the next. You’ll get many more chances, because all the moves in the dance repeat. It is more important to the people you are dancing with that you be ready for the next figure than for you to complete each figure.
MOST IMPORTANT – HAVE FUN, ENJOY THE MUSIC AND THE PEOPLE!!!
Experienced dancers should welcome newer dancers into our community by asking them to dance, and helping them to have a fun, satisfying evening.
Refrain from twirls, spins, and other flourishes with newer partners. This can be disorienting, slowing the learning process for your partner, as well as for other less experienced dancers around you who are watching for clues as to what they should do next.
The goal is to help newer dancers face the right direction and smile!
Keep verbal instructions to an absolute minimum. It is hard for newer dancers to listen to you, other dancers, the caller, and the music all at the same time.
When the caller is teaching, be courteous and give your full attention – please do not talk while caller is speaking, or you might miss a step.
When the caller asks for hands four, this should be accomplished as quickly as possible to avoid confusion and later regrouping.
The importance of hands and giving weight. Let your partner’s hand rest lightly in yours. Give just enough weight with your arms (or your hands) to keep your connection while you move through the contra figures. T his requires mutual sensitivity and adjustment. Don’t squeeze too tightly or bend your partner’s wrists.
Continuously adjust to the needs abilities of each dancer. If you dance with 30 people in line, big or little, older or younger, you’ll need to dance 30 different ways. Aim to please every person that you dance with.
Mistakes are OK. When helping other dancers, keep the atmosphere light. New dancers will relax when they sense your enjoyment and that you are more interested in being part of the flow than in perfection.
Couples join the line at the bottom, rather than inserting themselves in the middle or the top. If during the course of a dance you need to drop out of a line, do so when you reach the top or bottom because dropping out midline is disruptive to everyone else in it.
Long line, short line. Nobody ’s happy when a line is too crowded to dance comfortably and freely. When joining a line, join the shortest set, so the sets stay approximately the same length.
Finding partners. When looking for another partner after a dance ends, thoughtful dancers will look to the sidelines to see if there is someone who sat out the last dance who would like to dance the next. Generally, dancers wait until a dance is over before asking someone for the next dance. Everyone has the right to decline to dance.
Dancing should be fun and enjoyable. If your partner is doing something that hurts or makes you uncomfortable or embarrassed, don’t hesitate to let them know.
If needed, ask the caller or dance manager for further assistance.

We can't stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we're on. But even if nearly every part of us becomes robotic, mechanical fingers crossed, we'll still have our minds. Hopefully we'll use them for things like compassion, instead of just chasing what's 'better' like a hamster on a wheel. If we can do that, we're on the yellow brick road to happiness.

In casual Camouflage pants Skillful military trend and urban chic shake hands. With the patterned pants you can make simple outfits in a jiffy more interesting and ensure a successful eye-catcher.
The origin of today’s trendy camouflage pattern goes back to the First World War. At that time the soldiers wore the brown and green shades to camouflage. Today, however, the pattern has long arrived in the fashion world. The eye-catching trousers are especially a great trend for leisure.
Camouflage pants are available in numerous fits and lengths. For all, the right combination is the be-all and end-all. So the look looks more harmonious if you pick up one of the trouser colors – often beige, brown and green – in the rest of the garments. For the trendy allover military look you can Camouflage pants to wear Desert Boots and Parka. Discreet is the combination with a sporty Serafino shirt and casual sneakers. Skinny jeans or even leggings with camouflage pattern are the perfect combo partners for colorful city looks. They fit perfectly with plateau sneakers, hoodie and trucker cap, for example. | 2019-04-25T20:42:51 | http://www.choosmeinstyle.com/camouflage-pants-combine-pants-with-camouflage-pattern-correctly/ |

Development of a chimeric anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody that synergizes with LEA29Y to prolong islet allograft survival.
Adams AB, Shirasugi N, Jones TR, Durham MM, Strobert EA, Cowan S, Rees P, Hendrix R, Price K, Kenyon NS, Hagerty D, Townsend R, Hollenbaugh D, Pearson TC, Larsen CP. Development of a chimeric anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody that synergizes with LEA29Y to prolong islet allograft survival. J Immunol. 2005;174(1):542-50.
In recent years, reagents have been developed that specifically target signals critical for effective T cell activation and function. Manipulation of the CD28/CD80/86 and CD40/CD154 pathways has exhibited extraordinary efficacy, particularly when the pathways are blocked simultaneously. Despite the reported efficacy of anti-CD154 in rodents and higher models, its future clinical use is uncertain due to reported thromboembolic events in clinical trials. To circumvent this potential complication, we developed and evaluated a chimeric Ab targeting CD40 (Chi220, BMS-224819) as an alternative to CD154. Although Chi220 blocks CD154 binding, it also possesses partial agonist properties and weak stimulatory potential. The anti-CD40 was tested alone and in combination with a rationally designed, high affinity variant of CTLA4-Ig, LEA29Y (belatacept), in a nonhuman primate model of islet transplantation. Although either agent alone only modestly prolonged islet survival (Chi220 alone: 14, 16, and 84 days; LEA29Y alone: 58 and 60 days), their combination (LEA29Y and Chi220) dramatically facilitated long term survival (237, 237, 220, >185, and 172 days). We found that the effects of Chi220 treatment were not mediated solely through deletion of CD20-bearing cells and that the combined therapy did not significantly impair established antiviral immunity. | 2019-04-20T18:13:35 | https://www.docphin.com/research/article-detail/6990583/PubMedID-15611281/Development-of-a-chimeric-anti-CD40-monoclonal-antibody-that-synergizes-with-LEA29Y-to-prolong-islet-allograft-survival |

The business federation of Norway has criticised the government for failing to invest in the state railway’s primary rail cargo hub in Alnabru, Oslo. The business leaders say that facilities need to be up graded to include electronic freight handling systems and tracking, otherwise the hub may have to close by 2018.

Thank you. Linda was a wonderful, kind person. Even though we kind of lost track of each other as our lives moved on I frequently thought of her with great fondness. My life and my late husband’s lives were better because she was in it.
Dear Jeff, hello my name is Katie and I am Dennis Cuffels “FAVORITE AUNT KATIE” and my beautiful sister Linda Cuffels “FAVORITE SISTER”!!! I’m the youngest of my seven siblings and my sister Linda was the oldest! As her and I would always say she was the Alpha and I was the Omega! The beginning and the end of it all! Well actually I would always introduce her to everyone as my “oldest sister” which she wasn’t all that cracked up about! Anyway I just ran across your story the other day and I had to write and thank you for a story very well written about your friend Dennis, my sister Linda and the wonderful things that you wrote about Linda’s family and friends!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO MY SISTER AND HER WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! I really enjoyed reading it and thank you for making me laugh in some of my darkest hours when I was mourning my sister’s passing!

Before you travel it is always advised that you make yourself aware of the local laws and customs. The last thing you want on your travels is a heavy fine or time behind bars, because, the money is probably better being put towards a more fulfilling experience!

Credit Do – Apply for a Greater Iowa credit card. According to myfico.com, having new credit accounts for about 10 percent of your credit score. GICU offers a simple credit card program that features a 25 day grace period and no annual fee.
Credit Don’t – Apply for multiple cards at once. Applying for a credit card means authorizing a credit check that creates a hard inquiry on your credit report. These hard inquiries count towards your score for 6 months. Allowing a number of these within 6 months will hurt your credit score.
Credit Do – Make regular, small purchases only. Credit card activity is an influential piece of your credit score. Using it regularly for small purchases, like groceries and gas, and paying the balance at the end of each month will help your score.
Credit Don’t – Cosign for your friends. Your credit score will drop if your friend misses even one payment. No matter how great of a friend they may be, putting yourself in this situation can ruin your credit and your friendship.
Credit Do – Pay off your statement balance every month. It’s a myth that carrying a balance from month to month helps your credit score. The lower your credit utilization, the better. Pay off balances quickly and try to keep them at zero.
Credit Don’t – Don’t spend more than you can afford or too much of your available balance. Credit should not be treated as a way to make ends meet when you don’t have the money. If you are already struggling, spending more than you can afford on a credit card will make it harder in the end.
Credit Do – Make your payments on time. This is the most important thing you can do if you use a credit card. Set payment reminders so that you aren’t missing your due dates.
Credit Don’t – Go over your credit limit. You should never use more than 30% of the credit that’s available to you. This can be very damaging to your credit score and will make it harder to manage your debt.
Credit Do – Learn about your card benefits such as rewards, credit scores and extended warranties on purchases. Rewards programs are great and can be used to your advantage if you understand and use them correctly.
Greater Iowa Credit Union offers a great simple credit card program, you can apply today! We are happy to help you be responsible with your credit card to keep your credit score high! | 2019-04-23T12:28:14 | https://www.greateriowacu.org/news/blog/credit-dos-and-donts-/ |

If you’re a sports fan, then Break Away is a video pokie game you will love as it has an excellent ice hockey theme. Don’t worry if you’re not a huge ice hockey fan, though, as this pokie has some fantastic features and bonuses which will keep anyone entertained.
Although there are many sport-themed pokie games out there, Break Away doesn’t just rely on its great graphics and ignore the gameplay itself. This 5-reel pokie has 243 ways to win, and extends the excitement with lots of wilds and bonus rounds which can see some significant wins.
As you might come to expect from Microgaming, who has designed this pokie game, the visual impact is beautiful from the minute you set eyes on it. The graphics are so realistic and true to the ice hockey theme, featuring players, referees, and the ice rinks, that we were half expecting a Zamboni to come across the screen part way through the game.
Pair the design with the sound effects and it will certainly spark memories for any of you who have watched a live game before.
While being an online only pokie and not found in casinos, it is one of a new breed of sports themed video pokies. However, it is not one which easily blends into the crowd, and rightly so.
1, 2, 3, Face Off!
Ok, well you’re maybe not starting this pokie game stood in the middle of an ice rink going stick to stick with a burly player, but Break Away’s game play can be just as exciting (and not as cold!).
With 5 reels and a massive 243 ways to win, this is a fast paced and enthralling pokie game. With just a single stake covering all the winning possibilities this gives an excellent opportunity to win with every single spin of its reels.
The game features a Break Away symbol which represents it’s wild symbol, this appears on reels 3, 4 and 5. Reel 3 features an 18 symbol stack, reel 4 has a 25 symbol stack and reel 5 a 3 symbol stack – these long tailed stacks really add to the game play and increases the chances of a big win.
The Puck symbol acts as the games scatter symbol, and completes a winning combination when three or more appear on the reels. The great thing is, if you get both a scatter win and a regular win at the same time then you are paid out for both. If 3 or more pucks appear on the reels then you active the free spins bonus game.
If you activate the free spins bonus game by having 3 or more puck symbols on your reels then you have the chance to win up to 25 free spins. You start with a number of free spins depending on the number of pucks symbols you had (15, 20 or 25), then you are awarded a multiplier for each Rolling Reel win (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x).
While not the most entertaining free spins round out there, it is certainly an excellent in game feature and gives you a great opportunity to increase the size of your win – which is always a good thing.
OK, so you don’t exactly roll across the ice, but this game does feature Rolling Reels. This feature is activated every time you have any win. The winning symbols explode from the screen and the symbols drop down from above to fill the empty spaces. If you have a new winning line then you’re paid out and the rolling reels explode again, giving you yet another chance to win.
When this is activated during the free spins round, each time you win you’re awarded a multiplier which will increase your win.
A unique touch to this game is the fantastic Smashing Wilds feature. If you’re an ice hockey fan then you’ll know full well how much the players love to smash into each other, and that is not missing from this pokie game. Unexpectedly, a player will suddenly smash the ice in reels 2, 3 or 4, turning that whole reel into wilds and guaranteeing you a win. If you manage to get this on reel 2 then you’re in an excellent position for a whole screen of wilds.
Just a Pokie Game for the Sports Fans?
Definitely not. While its excellent graphics and ice hockey theme will obviously instantly appeal to sports fans, there is an excellent pokie game behind all this which will certainly keep any pokie fan happy.
Break Away’s random Smashing Wilds feature keeps things interesting, and the wild stacks and free spin rounds ensure a good chance of winning big.
Ice hockey fan or not, we’d suggest stepping onto the ice and giving this pokie game a go. | 2019-04-25T02:17:12 | http://www.playpokies.com/microgaming/break-away/ |

Recognizing the need for long term accomodations in Ortigas, CDC Holdings has decided to team up once again with Ascott to bring you Citadines.
A 32 storey serviced apartment which is at par with some of the finest in the world.
Citadines doesn't only feature amenities such as a gym, swimming pools, business center, function rooms, pocket gardens and a gourmet hub, they also provide something that is a rare indulgence these days especially in a hub as populated as Ortigas....SPACE (32sq.m studio - 140sq. m 3 bedroom).
The units at Citadines are airy and spacious with a well thought out floor plan.
It is also being built to meet Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark assessment criteria by incorporating green features.
Full service apartments are most often utilized by foreigners who are in the country to do business for an undetermined length of time.
Personally, I think Citadines is also great for families who are having some renovation work done in their homes, bachelors/bachelorettes who don't have the time to bother with upkeep and or decorating, newlyweds who are in between homes and still deciding where to place their investments.
Starting off as a sort of halfway house, I could well see the Citadines finding a permanent place in the hearts of those who have stayed there and turning it into a permanent home instead.
The new CDC Millenium Ortigas will be situated along Ortigas Avenue corner Sapphire St., Ortigas. | 2019-04-25T07:59:10 | https://www.fashioneggplant.com/2013/12/citadines-of-cdc-millenium-ortigas.html |

Of course, this is a far from exhaustive list, but it does fit a lot into just over 3 minutes, meant to cover 100 years! Did you learn about any of these non-violent movements in elementary or high school history class? (I only remember learning about one of these movements in school.) Many histories justify wars and military actions by echoing those who say “there were no alternatives.” Learning about non-violent movements, whether large or small, illustrates that alternatives to violence are possible, even when facing seemingly powerful enemies. It can be an inspirational aspect of peace education and can help us to think critically when we are told “there were (or are) no alternatives” and to imagine other responses to violence.
While focusing on non-violence might seem like a rosy view of the past compared with grieving wars, if you pay close attention, all of these non-violent movements were in response to systemic injustices perpetrated by powerful and violent institutions. Learning about non-violent movements can also help us to think strategically about confronting injustices and organizing for social change. Just as PeaceQuest draws attention to the way we remember war, there are also things to grieve in remembering non-violent movements and the injustices and violence they confronted—particularly that many of the same injustices remain today, though perhaps in different forms. | 2019-04-26T09:39:35 | http://peacequest.ca/great-lakes-bridges-100-years-of-non-violence/ |

It is simple to cure nail fungus at home especially when you have the right remedy immediately available. You really don’t need to have your treatment done by your doctor; as long as you can be consistent with your medication you’ll find that home treatment is simple and more discreet in the comfort of your own home. Nail fungus is much more common than most people think and if not managed it can be quite dangerous. If you live in close proximity with your family or have other people living with you, make sure you don’t share anything that might come into contact with your feet such as socks slippers a towel maybe, and other personal items. You can avoid passing on the infection from one person to the next. It might not be a good idea to have a mini fungal outbreak at home.
It is always better to avoid contracting nail fungus However, if you have already got the infection just keep in mind some simple suggestions in order for you to not further aggravate what you have & to prevent future infections. Whenever you attend public places like the local temple, hot tub or bathing pool, please consider about wearing slippers or sandals. This way, you prevent the fungal infection that multiply in the water on the ground from going onto your feet. Whenever you complete your sport in any of these places, thoroughly dry your feet.
A fingernail or toenail infection that is caused by a fungus is called onychomycosis (say: To be sure that the nail problem you have is a fungal infection, your doctor might scrape a little . bit of tissue from a nail and send it to a lab. | 2019-04-20T00:35:10 | http://getridofnailfungus101.com/vicks-for-nail-fungus-reviews/ |
The Cool Sculpting treatment helps freeze fat away and is considered to be one of the best non surgical alternatives for fat removal*. This non-invasive, innovative and effective procedure helps address those visible bulges and bumps through a revolutionary and result-oriented technology that cools fat cells without affecting the surrounding cells or skin.
The entire procedure only takes only about an hour. The cooling panels will be set to a pre-determined level at which the fat cells are most vulnerable. Once the targeted fat cells are exposed to this cold temperature, it gets frozen or crystallized. Using your body’s normal metabolic process, these dead cells are gently removed from the body in a completely safe, effective and virtually pain-free way.
♦ You have well-defined and distinct layers of fat that can be pulled or pinched away from the body.
♦ Your skin has minimal laxity and is healthy.
♦ You are in reasonably good health and wish to get rid of subcutaneous fat from the abdomen, flanks, back and arms.
♦ You are looking for a spot-reducing treatment rather than an overall weight-loss program.
♦ You want to avoid a more risky and invasive surgical procedure.
At the Body Contour Wellness Center we follow a simple and effective process that ensures your comfort and convenience every step of the way. Our patients often catch up on work, read a book or watch television during the procedure. You’ll find the entire process to be very comfortable and relaxing.
Step 1: The treatment area will be clearly marked and a soothing gel pad will be placed on the designated area in order to keep your skin protected during the procedure. Different applicators may be used to target different treatment areas to ensure excellent results.
Step 2: The cooling applicator will be placed on your body and it uses gentle vacuum pressure to raise the marked fat bulge between the cooling panels. As the bulge is drawn up, you may feel a firm tugging sensation. The targeted fat cells are frozen through controlled cooling delivered by the applicator. Over time, these frozen cells are naturally and gradually eliminated from your body.
Step 3: Once the applicator has been removed, the treatment area may look a little red or bruised. The frozen fat cells will initially look like a bulge but it resumes its original appearance after the doctor has massaged the area. Post treatment massage helps to reduce the layer of fat and improve overall results.
It is the only fat-reduction technology to eliminate fat cells through controlled cooling. Many other forms of treatment such as radio frequency and lasers deliver heat or chemicals through the skin which can damage the adjacent tissues, nerves, and muscles. On the other hand, CoolSculpting is safe and effective as it can specifically target the cells that it wants to destroy, leaving the other cells unharmed. It also does not involve the use of local anesthesia, needles or surgical tools.
Non-Surgical Alternative for Fat Removal!
♦ Customized treatment plan: You can get rid of fat from multiple areas under a tailored-made treatment plan*.
♦ Zero damage: There is no damage to your skin since body fat freezes at a higher temperature when compared to other tissue*.
How was this technique discovered?
This non-surgical treatment is the brain child of R. Rox Anderson, MD and Dieter Manstein, MD, two renowned scientists from Harvard University. They discovered the science of Cryolipolysis® which proves that cold can trigger the death of fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissue or skin.

This is a ‘sleepy’ week on the BMP events calendar, but don’t worry! If you had something else in mind, there are already 7 webinars on the calendar for next week.
If you’re looking to plan your webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend ‘Are you really MANAGING Procurement? (Or Does Stuff Just Happen…)’ on October 23rd from Per Angusta, Peter Smith (Spend Matters UK/EU), and Glen Lovett, Head of Group Procurement at FirstGroup.
BTW: If you haven’t already, sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get my weekly recommendations in your Inbox each Monday.
Yes, I know… the trendy position on RFPs is to can them altogether – however: until we come up with something better to replace them with, we’re better off trying to improve the process. In this webinar, Phil Bode, VP of Training at 4 Degrees North, will talk about the importance of communication, version control, knowledge management, and the one “old school” practice that could make all the difference.
For procurement and supply chain teams that are interested in contributing to the top line, this webinar may be just the thing you’ve been looking for. Joel Beal, co-founder and CEO of Alloy, will discuss the importance of downstream sales and inventory visibility as well as best practices for advancing from data ingestion to predictive analytics to decision-making, like forecasting and product launch management.

Matthew holds a B.A. in World Music and Composition and an M.A. in Arts and Media Technology from Antioch University and has studied with the master musicians of many world music traditions. He is on the faculty of Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco, where he teaches all styles of guitar as well as rhythm classes based on his book "Ancient Traditions--Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali and India." He is the leader of the world fusion music ensemble "Ancient Future" and a pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar (an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian vina and the steel string guitar).
Matthew says he has always had an attraction to the guitar, and has been influenced by and involved in music his entire life. His love of the guitar grew from two things. One of them is his older half brother Rick Epting who played guitar in a professional folk music group when he was still in his crib and he always wanted to play like him. This desire to create and play music was evident in high school where he and a childhood friend, Benjy Wertheimer, dreamt about forming a band together. While in high school Matthew launched his musical career, playing guitar professionally with several local bands in the Boulder area. Also during this time, Benjy Wertheimer developed an interest in percussion, and was attracted to Indian tabla drums in particular. Through a friend of Wertheimer's Matthew heard a record by the Diga Rhythm Band, which featured North Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain and his students along with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and guitarist Jerry Garcia. This experience created an interest in Indian rhythms, which prompted Matthew to blend this style of music into his jazz/rock/classical fusion music. In 1977 Matthew and Benjy journeyed to San Rafael, California to study North Indian classical music at the Ali Akbar College of Music. They met and combined with members of the Diga Rhythm Band to form the "Greenhouse Intergalactic" band. Greenhouse Intergalactic rehearsed at the Grateful Dead studio and performed a number of concerts before splitting up into two groups in 1978: a Latin band called "Sun Orchestra", and the world fusion music group " Ancient Future".
DCB: In an article by Jello Biafra, he talks about your musical ability to reproduce the playing style of Hendrix. In the beginning, what styles of music were you attracted to. Did your musical ear and desire to learn and play music draw you to the more complex styles by the well known guitar musicians of the time?
MM: I was actually attracted to the guitar for two main reasons. First of all, my older half brother Rick Epting played guitar in a professional folk music group when I was still in my crib, and I had always wanted to play like him. And when I heard the music of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, I was mesmerized by the sound of the electric guitar. It was actually the note bending ornaments that intrigued me the most. The scalloped fretboard guitar allows me to have the best of both worlds: an acoustic guitar that it is possible to play like a sitar, or like Jimi Hendrix.
DCB: I read that you teach music. Is this still the case and do I have the right school identified -Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco?
MM: I'm still teaching at my studio in San Rafael, at Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco, and also at various institutions and centers such as the New Year's Day World Music Workshop at Esalen January 1-3, 2010.
DCB: Since the forming of the "Ancient Future" band and the pursuit of sharing "world fusion music" with everyone, what have you felt about your progress to this end? We all have our doubts, at one time or another, about our path and whether we are on the right one.
MM: This path has not been an easy one, but I have no doubts that it is the right musical path for me if humanity is to survive. But to be honest, there are days when I have doubts about the fate of the human race. We have a lot of flaws!
But I do feel very proud of the progress we have made on the musical front. There has also been progress on the business side, but it has been very much impeded first by the music business itself, and then by the demise of the music business, and finally by the general lack of support for all of the fine arts. Certainly if there was more support for the arts, the progress on the musical side would have been greater by now, the progress on the business side would have been much greater, and then the impact of this music on society would have been exponentially greater.
So my mission is far from complete.
DCB: Before I became aware of Ancient Future, I had heard a scalloped fretboard guitar played (but did not know what I was hearing exactly) by John McLaughlin. Your bio says you've been playing the instrument since the late 1970's. When did you first hear and become interested in playing the scalloped fretboard guitar?
MM: I was studying North Indian classical music at the Ali Akbar College of Music. I took up the sitar, but wanted to find a way to play Indian ornaments on the guitar while still being able to play chords. I tried a slide ring, but found that too cumbersome. Then the neck on my Gibson SJ Deluxe warped, and needed the fingerboard replaced. So I went to luthier Ervin Somogyi, and we experimented on the original fretboard with various scallop depths. I decided to have the replacement fretboard scalloped as I liked the effect. Soon after that, South Indian vina master K. S. Subramanian came to San Francisco to teach at San Francisco State, and I was able to study South Indian note bending ornaments with him intensively three days a week.
DCB: From the creation of "Ancient Future" band, you have worked towards accomplishing goals relating to your music. Each album/cd release has moved you a notch more along this track. As with the original release of "Planet Passion", I see "Seven Serenades" as a step along this track. What are your plans and thoughts for the near future?
MM: I want to record new music live in concert for release on DVD and CD. There is a new program we are now unveiling: the Archive of Future Ancient Recordings.
We need help from the general public raising the money for it. We've already gotten a small start on it.
From Matthew Montfort's "Seven Serenades"
"If you saw the Monterey Pop Fest film with Ravi Shankar, who blew all the most talented rockers off the stage with his mind-bending chops and then completely entranced The Master (Jimi Hendrix), you know why Montfort was inspired by a photo of Jimi sitting gape-mouthed in the presence of such galactic artistry."
Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar is best described as world fusion; Indian music is an influence, but it isn't the disc's only influence - and Montfort also draws on everything from Spanish flamenco to blues to folk-rock. Celtic music is an influence on "Celtic Raga," which successfully combines Irish-Celtic and Indian elements."
"The theme of the 'Planet Passion' recording by Ancient Future is mythological stories about love from around the world. 'Planet Passion' includes collaborations on traditional music as well as some of my original compositions. Since each track does have corresponding traditional myths, those stories are used as elements in the world fusion process. But these stories are really just little sparks for the creative fire. The main value in the music is from the deep musical knowledge that is enshrined in the traditions.
'Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar' is an improvised work, and so there isn't as much mythology involved. But in the cases where certain ragas were utilized, there is an intention in place at the beginning of each serenade to invoke the spirit of the raga, which is a mood. That intention might not even be conscious. For much of the recording I was serenading the object of my affections, and so the story is one of romance rather than myth. In such cases the connection with the romantic story was very immediate and I think that had a much more prominent effect on the music than invoking a mythical story."

A Dover Full Of Gratuitous Tony Stewart Pictures….
First off if you are looking for my usual Dover post race post it is here. This is a post is a post of just gratuitous Tony pictures. Ahh the “Gratuitous Tony Stewart Pictures” it’s something I have have done it for years- I just tack on an extra picture or two of my favorite driver to the end of many of my posts even if the post is already chocked full of Tony pictures. | 2019-04-18T22:56:53 | http://www.badgroove.com/index.php/tag/dover/ |
The Fresno City Council passed its new cannabis growing ban on Thursday, closely following the lead of Fresno County. Both ordinances feature heavy fines of $1,000 per plant, which county supervisors imposed for the first time Tuesday.
Council Member Clint Olivier cast the sole “no” vote, as he did at the first reading on March 20. The zoning law goes to Mayor Ashley Swearengin for her signature; actual enforcement against indoor gardens is not expected to begin until five months later. Collectives, dispensaries and outdoor cultivation were previously banned by Ordinance 2012-13.
As something of a consolation prize, the City Council also created an ad hoc committee to examine ways to allow “legitimate” patients to obtain cannabis. The committee members are Olivier, Oliver Baines and Blong Xiong, who’s running for county supervisor.
The Fresno cannabis growing ban differs from the county’s in some respects. It doesn’t explicitly authorize criminal prosecution of a misdemeanor for violations. It also features a 120-day grace period, with enforcement against indoor marijuana gardens expected to begin in late August. Because outdoor growing was already prohibited in the city, Fresno police will continue to seize outdoor plants, but with the addition of the $1,000/plant fines beginning in about 30 days. | 2019-04-20T04:19:03 | http://fresnocannabis.org/2014/fresno-city-council-passes-cannabis-growing-ban/ |
The cross bow and arrow was one of the most important weapons used by the Native American Indians. They were exceptionally skilled at constructing these weapons. The Indian Arrowheads in particular were meticulously crafted out of a variety of different materials. Amongst the different materials used for the construction of arrowheads was glass. Indian glass arrowheads are much sought after by Native American art and artifacts collectors.
The arrowhead is basically the front point of the arrow which is shaped like a triangle. Arrowheads are not the same as projectile points although they are classified as a subclass of the former. Archaeologists have been able to unearth native Indian glass arrowheads in a number of different locations across America. The glass arrowheads were one of the more exquisite ones produced by the native Indians. This is why they are more difficult to find because compared to the metal, bone and wooden arrowheads they were produced in a much smaller quantity. Chert, Flint and obsidian were also amongst the commonly used materials for producing arrowheads.
The Native Americans had their own set of special handmade tools that they would use to carve glass arrowheads. They would make use of broken glass and carve the arrowheads into shape using notching and flaking tools amongst others. Today you will be able to find Indian glass arrowheads showcased in many different museums across the world. They are also sold at auctions where collectors can get their hands on a historical set of glass arrowheads excavated from an archaeological site from different places in America.
An alternate to purchasing Indian glass arrowheads is learning how to make them your self at home. You can do this using any conventional glass bottle. However you will need to exercise a great deal of caution because for making the glass arrowheads you will have to break the bottle and work with the sharp and edgy broken glass. Glass is not the only thing you will require to make these arrowheads yourself. You will need a set of tools including a hammer stone, notching tool, pressure flaker, abrading stone and a leather Palm pad. In order to protect your eyes it is recommended that you put on a pair of goggles.
The kind of glass that you select also plays an important role when looking to make your own Indian glass arrowheads. Colored glass is generally preferred to clear glass as it is easier to work with and the final product looks better as well. You should select a bottle with a flat bottom and preferably one without embossed markings.
The elaborate process begins with breaking the bottle making sure that the bottom of the bottle remains intact because this is what you will be working with. Next you have to clean the pieces of glass hanging from the bottom after which you will start working with the glass piece to make a bifacial edge which you will shape using a notch tool. | 2019-04-18T15:13:29 | https://globerove.com/usa/indian-glass-arrow-heads/ |
Swahili is set to become the official language of five major countries in East Africa as part of an effort to improve business and community links in the region.
The East African Community, the intergovernmental organization representing Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, said it wants to make Swahili its official language.
It follows an announcement that in Uganda Swahili will be included on school syllabuses to promote it as an alternative language in the country.
Swahili, a Bantu language, is East Africa’s lingua franca and an official language in Tanzania and Kenya where it is spoken by the majority of the population.
It is also widely spoken in Rwanda and Burundi; however, very few speak the language in Uganda, even though it is the country’s second official national language.
In East Africa, Swahili is employed as a ‘bridging’ language and operates as a means of communication between different ethnic units and nationalities who don’t share the same mother tongue.
But in Uganda, where the main languages are Luganda and English, there is some resistance to Swahili given the role the language has played in the country’s troubled history.
For many Ugandans, Swahili is associated with the brutal regimes of its former dictators, such as Idi Amin, one of the bloodiest dictators of the 20th century, and the regimes’ ruthless soldiers, who were trained in Swahili.
But the Ugandan Government, headed by President Yoweri Museveni, now wants to popularize Swahili in the country and make it an alternative national language. In Uganda’s schools, Swahili will be taught right from nursery level up to university or tertiary level.
“What Ugandans have to do is to embrace the new language by learning and using it,” said Amutendera Salvatore of the Ministry of East African Affairs.
For Barbara Nekesa, Uganda’s acting Information Minister, the introduction of Swahili will allow Ugandans to better communicate with people all over the East African Community.
“Swahili will help Ugandan traders to easily communicate with traders from other parts of east Africa,” Nekesa told the Africa Report.
Significant changes across east Africa mean inter-country communication is becoming more and more prevalent. If Uganda wants to be part of it, developing Swahili as part of its language culture will help it foster the trade and consumer links it needs.
As a result of this move, we expect the demand for Swahili translation to increase as companies take advantage the common language and increased business opportunities in the region. | 2019-04-21T18:30:05 | https://www.translatemedia.com/us/blog-usa/swahili-set-to-become-official-language-of-east-africa/ |
Which fuel should I use for my wood burner?
Burning wood has a significant less environmental impact compared to fossil fuels and burning wood releases the same amount of CO2 then it would produced if the log was left to naturally decompose in the woods. Wood can also be transported easier and requires less processing and there are huge resources of wood in the UK, thanks to properly managed woodlands.
Many customers think they need a multi-fuel stove, although most only ever burn wood.
Why is log moisture content & wood density so important?
There are 2 elements which you need to consider when purchasing fuel for your wood burning stove, both will make a significant affect on the calorific value (CV) of your fuel.
Wood with a moisture content of more than 25% could result in poor combustion and result in an performing stove together with creosote build-up in your chimney. We provide a moisture meter with every new stove installation so you can check your suppliers log moisture content before purchasing.
You may have a choice of hard wood or soft wood logs. Hardwood logs are generally more dense and burn longer and generally are a more popular choice.
You will hear the term ‘seasoned’ often when purchasing logs. Logs can contain 50% water when initially cut so need drying before burning or ‘seasoning’ to reduce the moister content to 15%-20%. Some woods need many seasons to fully dry, so use your moisture meter to check water content before you purchase. | 2019-04-18T17:04:36 | https://cosy-stoves.co.uk/hetas-stove-services/right-fuel-choice/ |

I need a special chair for my living room. My kids have both outgrown the teeny little wooden rocker they used to use to watch TV, as well as their cute little plastic chairs, and now they keep fighting over who gets to sit in MY favorite chair. My lovely tie-dyed couch is too far away from the TV for their viewing pleasure. Rather than all-out war, it's time to find a new solution.
I have some pretty specific requirements, since floor space is at a premium in my living room. After all, we have lots of bins of stuff, plus a consistent Wii-Fit user who wants enough space for the yoga mat and push-ups. So the new chair has to have a fairly small footprint. Also, I want a back for comfy TV watching, but the back and seat have to be fairly low so that anyone sitting on the tie-dyed couch behind it will still be able to see the TV. A "gamer's chair" would be a little too low--old people like me need to be able to get up from the chair. I searched for "low chair" on the Web, and I found some I'd love, but most of the ones I really liked were in the $2000 range (and while she may think she's worth it, do I really want Lacey taking over a $2000 chair?)!
My older daughter and I came up with a design that would fit the requirements without breaking the bank, and it would be uniquely ours.
It is possible to get really large heavy cardboard tubes that are used in construction work for pouring concrete posts and columns. Use "cardboard concrete form" as your search criteria. There are various makers such as Sonotube, Quikcrete, and Sakrete, but many contractors simply refer to them as Sonotube (similar to using the word "Kleenex" to refer to any type of facial tissue--bad for protecting brand trademarks, but everyone knows what you want). The big chain hardware stores (Home Depot, OSH) carry them in stock in up to 12 inches in diameter, but for the bigger ones (18, 24, 30, 36 inches in diameter), you need to go to a construction contractors' supply store. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, I got some at Peninsula Building Materials Co. I got a 30-inch-long piece of 18-inch-diameter Sonotube there for USD $25.95 including tax ($9.50 per foot). I later got a 4-foot-long Quickcrete 12-inch-diameter tube at the local OSH for the matching ottoman.
The kids and I spent a fun hour or two cutting up our large collection of used-up cardboard toilet paper tubes to make chair models.
After lots of time and discussion, we decided on the basic pattern to use for the chair (something in between the three middle models in the back row above).
We also did a fair amount of "design by comparison", where we sat in our existing chairs and measured how we fit in those chairs and where the contours were that made the chair comfortable or not.
We decided to make the seat platform about 12 inches from the floor. I made a full-size paper pattern to model the chair.
The pattern would later fit around the Sonotube so I could trace it for cutting.
The large-diameter tubes such as my 18-inch-diameter tube are very thick (around 1/4-inch thick) cardboard (not corrugated), and they are quite hard to cut. I tried a number of (non-powered) things, but what worked the best for me was to use a utility knife (box cutter) to just stab through the cardboard. Later, for trimming edges and fine tuning, I would cut along my line as deeply as possible, peel off a layer of cardboard from the discarded side of the line, cut along the line again, peel off another layer, and so on, until I could finally cut directly through what was left.
I bought two pre-cut plywood circles (Closetmaid brand) that were 17.75 inches in diameter. I planned to use one inside the bottom edge to protect the Sonotube and the other as the seat platform.
While I was at the Peninsula Building Materials Co., I also bought a roll of Deck-o-foam, used for expansion joints in concrete, to cover the outside of the Sonotube. It's actually the same type of foam I used in my origami patterns, though a different shape (4 inches wide, half-an-inch thick, and 50-feet long for USD $20) and not rescued from a packing box.
I used the same FastBond 30 glue I currently use for making my sandals (I still have a lot left of the gallon I bought!).
I covered the entire outside surface of the tube with the Deck-o-foam.
Now I've got the basic structure of my chair. | 2019-04-21T10:14:40 | http://blog.amethistle.com/2009/10/ |

If you anticipate conducting a pre-campaign planning study (or feasibility study), be sure to allow sufficient time for fundraising counsel to plan and lead your organization through an inclusive process. Counsel will need to prepare for and conduct the study interviews, then carefully analyze the data, and prepare and present the final report with insightful findings and action-oriented recommendations to the appropriate leadership. To complete all of the following steps, three months or more are typically required.
1. Plan the process. Senior management, trustees, and counsel meet to plan the study and assign responsibilities.
2. Preliminary case for support. Counsel conducts research and interviews in order to prepare a brief, but informative description of the organization and the proposed campaign objectives.
3. Prospective interviewees. Identify 70 to 100 individuals and organizations capable of making or influencing major gifts.
4. Schedule the interviews. A letter will be sent to each prospective interviewee, and appointments scheduled by phone.
5. Interview questionnaire. A customized questionnaire will guide the interview process.
6 . Table of standards. This table, which will be used during the interviews, indicates the size and number of gifts typically required to attain the proposed campaign goal.
7. Background information on the interviewees. Staff will be asked to provide pertinent background information on each individual to be interviewed.
8. Interviews. The interviews are conducted in confidence, and preferably in person. Most will be conducted one-on-one. In some cases (e.g., a husband and wife), two individuals will participate. A typical interview will require 45 minutes to an hour.
9. Report. Counsel prepares and submits a detailed written report. It should include the results of the interviews (including quotations without attribution); findings and conclusions; and recommendations.
10. In-person presentation. Counsel meets with the board and staff leadership to summarize the findings and recommendations, and discuss the next steps to be taken.
In many cases, the study will be accompanied by a strengths-based internal readiness assessment, which evaluates your organizational capacity to implement a major capital campaign, and recommends any additional resources which may be need to succeed. | 2019-04-25T06:28:34 | http://www.goettler.com/2016/07/21/ten-sequential-steps-to-success/ |
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has asked five agencies to explain why they are allowing WorldCom Inc. to bid on new projects.
After media reports that WorldCom Inc. has received more than $100 million in federal orders since it was suspended almost three months ago, a senator is demanding that agencies explain why they granted waivers to the company.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, has asked five agencies to provide written justification for awarding business to the company or allowing it to bid on new opportunities.
Collins has been one of Congress' most vocal critics of the General Services Administration's handling of the investigation of WorldCom's activities.
The five agencies -- GSA, Armed Forces Retirement Home, Social Security Administration and the Justice and Defense departments -- all had until Nov. 7 to respond.
WorldCom was suspended, and its status referred to the GSA suspension and debarment official after growing criticism from Capitol Hill and the company's competitors that it was allowed to pursue business as usual, despite filing one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history and being under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A decision on debarment has not yet been released. A judge Oct. 31 approved WorldCom's plan to emerge from bankruptcy. | 2019-04-22T14:10:33 | https://washingtontechnology.com/articles/2003/11/06/senator-grills-agencies-on-waivers.aspx |

One of my major reading goals this year is to read more spiritual books. I’m practicing Catholic but I have a broad view on spirituality, so I began my reading with two writers I’ve long been intrigued by, both outside of Christianity. (Author three was a Franciscan friar so back in the fold, but that’s for another day!) I started with Rumi, who comes from Islamic tradition, and followed with Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk, both of whom I’d been hearing about for a long time.
I’ve frequently seen Rumi quoted, and almost always liked whatever I heard. Despite that, I knew next to nothing about him! So I hunted my library collection and picked an appealing title – Rumi: Bridge to the Soul: Journeys into the music and silence of the heart, translations by Coleman Barks.
I still don’t feel I know much about Rumi, as the book didn’t turn out to contain much context about the author (though there was a lot in the introduction about an ancient bridge, and the translator’s experiences…for me, it was maybe too much of the wrong kind of information). But there were some eighty poems by Rumi, which was enough to give me a flavor of him.
I don’t understand Rumi. But I liked him anyway. And that’s an unusual stance for me to take! As probably happens often in poetry, I could read along for several pages with nothing speaking to me, then suddenly a line or stanza would jump out as beautiful or insightful or just intriguing. I’m not sure what, if anything, I learned exactly…but I do want to explore more.
I don’t have a lot to say about Rumi, but in a strange way I think he’d approve that. So let me just quote a few lines I liked and leave it at that.
We tremble like leaves about to let go.
or feeling exiled, or the taste of dust.
for the sweetness of the friend.
My second author was Thich Nhat Hanh, through his book Peace Is Every Step. This one had a helpful bio of the author in the introduction. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk originally from Vietnam, instrumental in peace movements for decades. It’s an impressive resume to have influenced Martin Luther King, and to have a foreword to the book written by the Dalai Lama!
The book focuses around mindfulness, focusing on the present moment, and finding peace in what can seem a hectic world. If I had to sum what I learned from the book into one word, it was “breathe.” He frequently mentions returning to himself through breath. Through short sections he offers practical meditations, philosophy and insights into seeking greater inner peace–while making it clear that’s not the same as passivity.
I’ve often said that I like books by driven, Type-A women (Gretchen Rubin, Brene Brown, Susan Cain, Sheryl Sandburg…) because they’re coming from where I am. So I was pleasantly surprised by how relatable Thich Nhat Hanh seemed. He didn’t seem to exist on the esoteric, removed plain that I half-expected. He talks about washing dishes and breathing through irritation–and the mere fact that he acknowledges irritation somehow made him more human, and all the more inspiring for that.
My mom has been reading Thich Nhat Hanh for years, and we’ve had the habit of referring to him (affectionately, respectfully!) as “the little monk.” Since reading his book, I find myself frequently thinking in stressful moments, “the little monk would tell me to just breathe…” So I try to! It’s helpful. I may have to put his picture up at my office.
I’m finding both these books hard to describe, but they both get at ideas of peacefulness and inner work that I found meaningful–and not in any way at odds with my organized religion affiliations! There are many sources of wisdom in this world, and I’m glad to have explored both of these.
Interesting how Rumi is quoted so extensively but remains so enigmatic. I haven’t read anything of his yet, either. Poetry rarely “speaks” to me, so I’m not sure I’d like his writing style. I can relate much more to Thich Nhat Hanh and his practical form of spirituality. I have read and learned from some of his books. I think you got his central message – “breathe” – which is so important to his philosophy, both in every day situations and in meditation. | 2019-04-18T14:42:12 | https://marveloustales.com/2017/03/13/book-reviews-rumi-and-thich-nhat-hanh/ |

Lust List Volume 003 | To Work Or PlayTo Work Or Play | A blog of two halves: Lifestyle guidance for city-savvy socialites, and insight, inspiration and opinion for ad-curious folk.
To me window shopping is a necessity. Not only to get an idea of what I want to buy when it comes to payday, but also to gather inspiration, follow trends and soak up ideas that current market has to offer. As a designer it is important to research general design, in every form and use these ideas and translate these in your work.
I also think it comes with the trait to lust after nice things. Homeware, books, paper goods, accessories… You name it I want it. Stick some nice typography on a simple magazine and I’m sold… hook line and sinker. So every so often I find myself procrastinating on my lunch break and filling my virtual basket with an array of ‘bits’ to suffice my shopping cravings while taking on the challenging activity of reminding myself not to spend everything in my bank and be careful with those oh so important pennies. In these circumstances I create a lust list, a digital basket of goodies that I’ll return to and possibly purchase on the arrival of that all important payday. Here’s the 3rd edition of 2016’s Lust List. | 2019-04-23T22:32:14 | http://toworkorplay.com/work/we-love/lust-list/lust-list-volume-003/ |
I recently led a session at the eResearch Australasia conference on the ethics of AI in higher education. It is a big topic to handle, and I’m pretty new to this stuff, but the conversation went pretty well, and the awareness of both AI and ethics is high in this community. The ethical challenges posed by AI are significant, but the benefits are also great, and it is vital for educators and citizens to be aware of both. Here are some of the key points made by the audience (and I am pursuing the topic, so will post some more later on).
After many false dawns, AI may be gaining traction. Chatbots, Natural Language Processing, robots, autonomous vehicles, and the combination of big data and AI are all findings applications in a myriad of commercial, educational and other contexts. AI was once about explicit commands; what you put in is what you got out, but now it is largely about machine learning and big data, about machines that not only learn, but also make decisions. This is behind a number of new and emergent applications in medicine, transport and education that hold great promise but also ethical challenges.
In particular, it is an ability to ‘make decisions’ that poses numerous ethical dilemmas; can an autonomous Volvo car chose to collide with either a pedestrian or a dog ‘ethically’; can a Google chatbot impersonate a human for nefarious purposes, and can an autonomous military drone decipher images of illicit activity and then take autonomous action? These are not dystopian projections of a sci-fi future, rather these ethical issues that exist now well within the province of AI and its applications.
Whilst ethicists have provided critique, debate, and numerous ethical frameworks for an AI future, (indeed the Australian Government has just proposed a “technology roadmap, a standards framework and a national AI Ethics Framework”, and regulation in the space), higher education has been relatively quiet in terms of debating the impacts of AI on teaching and research and the broader HE education system. Indeed, while AI applications are not yet fully realised in research, this could opportune time to think about them, before they are (and this change could occur quite rapidly as did the use of data in research across both the humanities and the sciences).
Some of the ethical issues posed include the stalwart of IT ethics, being privacy, but also new issues arise, particularly around transparency and the interpretation of data using machine learning and how these interpretations may influence later research findings, be credited as research work, and indeed impact upon broader society. This is a particularly difficult issue as AI does afford many benefits in terms of the researcher’s ability to deal with the scale and complexity of big data, but there are things that machines are good at and things that people do better, and this intersection of machine and people intelligence, including ethical decision making, needs to be considered from the very emergence of AI in research.

I love mechanical things and have tinkered with manual and electric typewriters since my teens. I have always been fascinated by the IBM Selectric, but it was later in life that I finally got my hands on one to explore. I learned to repair/restore them and suddenly I have several of them. I don't really consider myself a collector, but rather a restorer. I enjoy bringing old machines back to usable condition and then pass them on to other people to use and enjoy. | 2019-04-22T02:16:27 | https://typewriterdatabase.com/1952-underwood-sx.1596.typewriter |
Memory plays a significant role in the books of German writer Christa Wolf (1929 – 2011). Much of her often autobiographical work deals with queries to a younger self, or a younger country. Even her Greek novels Cassandra and Medea, in their bold re-telling of ancient stories, subtly investigate and play with the collective memories readers have of traditional tales. And more explicitly, her 1976 novel Patterns of Childhood is a fictionalized account of her growing up in Nazi Germany. The book is rooted in a specific time, and one of great historical import, but it very much deals with the multiple and difficult questions of how a person looks back across a lifetime, how a person investigates memory and the past and their relationships to the self.
The final scenes of Patterns of Childhood deal with Wolf’s stay in a tuberculosis hospital in the winter of 1946-47, and it is these moments she returns to—from a completely different perspective—in the very last piece of fiction she ever wrote, an extremely slender novella entitled August, which was published in German in 2012 and just released this winter by Seagull Books in Katy Derbyshire’s English translation.
August opens with the words, “August is remembering.” And this very simple sentence (the present tense of it absolutely perfect) directs the reader toward a series of tender meditations on this man’s early life. That word tender seems strange when the first memory called up is about the loss of his mother during a bombing raid on a refugee train, about a difficult conversation with a woman from the Red Cross and 8-year-old August’s medical exam and subsequent removal to a tuberculosis hospital. But despite the implied horror of these events, August’s tone is tender. Perhaps it is the distance Wolf gives him, 60 years in the future, or perhaps it is the life she has given him—a life mostly only hinted about—to fill those 60 years.
Alongside the careful tenderness in August’s tone there is also a feeling of resignation, and a cautious sorrow. Now a widower, now ready for retirement, now a man with plenty of time to be quiet and alone with his own thoughts—August fits the mold for the kind of memory piece that has even become a genre: an older man looking back upon his life and revisiting its twists and turns, its more difficult questions. But August isn’t interested in understanding anything. And this is the key. August simply wants to look at it again. To feel it all again. To peer through the windows of his mind and see the people and the objects of this particular and short period of his life.
They usually spent their holidays on their balcony, which Trude had lovingly transformed into an oasis of blossoms. When they sat there drinking coffee in the afternoon and eating home-baked cake and he showed her how satisfied he was, she might have said he really didn’t ask much. He’s had a good life; no one can tell him otherwise. August doesn’t know whether he’s changed since he was a child but he remembers very well that Lilo once said to him: You can’t get enough, can you?
Thus, very gently, Wolf connects August’s childhood desire for the vivid emotional impact of watching stories to his memory exercise that frames the short novel. It becomes a clue, a way to understand this man who lost everything when he was eight, whose own history was almost completely erased, but who went on in his quiet way to find satisfaction in story memory, of his own and those he’s been told. It is also a clue as to why August, from his present moment in time, characterized by his widowhood and its feeling of loss, is going backward to a previous moment of another great loss. Grief tactics can be re-learned.
The passage above is also typical of the way in which Wolf directs the reader between the book’s two time periods. There is no space, no signal nor set-up, August’s mind simply glides from one to the other, sometimes even mid-thought. But this feels wonderfully true-to-life. The thresholds between the past and the present are never fixed, and the self is a constant time-traveler.
This, I think, is the most elegant and meaningful element of August. While parts of his story are extraordinary, especially for readers of a different generation and nationality: the loss of his parents, the war, his time in hospital with the “moths” in his lungs, the death of children around him—these are exceptional memories, and yet the rest of his story is so delightfully ordinary. So uneventful. Here is an unexceptional figure. Just like the reader. Like us. We all know exactly what it feels like to be this kind of traveler—without so much as disturbing the calm surface of an ordinary day, we are revisiting other moments, other places. Like August, we are feeling the shudder of our memory’s sensory archives as we allow ourselves to re-experience them.
Christa Wolf was one of Germany’s most celebrated post-war writers. She grew up during Nazi rule and spent most of her adulthood in communist East Germany, where she increasingly came to question ideologies through her writing. In 1989, she was an instrumental figure in the protests leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her work was always innovative and challenging in terms of style and politics, including the ground-breaking Cassandra, Patterns of Childhood and The Quest for Christa T. Her last novel, City of Angels, dealt with her stay in Los Angeles during the fallout from revelations that she had been an informal collaborator with the Stasi in younger years, and naturally been spied upon for a significantly longer period. She has been awarded many prizes, among them the Büchner Prize of the German Academy of Language and Poetry (1980), the Austrian State Prize for European Literature (1985) and the Geschwister-Scholl-Prize of the city of Munich (1987). Christa Wolf died in Berlin in 2011.
Katy Derbyshire is a London-born translator, who has lived in Berlin for many years. She focuses on contemporary German-language writers, including Inka Parei, Dorothee Elmiger, Clemens Meyer, Simon Urban, Sibylle Lewitscharoff and Tilman Rammstedt. She has translated Inka Parei’s Shadow-Boxing Woman (2011) and What Darkness Was (2012) as well as Dorothee Elmiger’s Invitation to the Bold of Heart (2011). Her translation of Tilman Rammstedt’s King of China is forthcoming from Seagull Books.

Figure 1. Samuel Shaver portrait of Emmaline, Mary Eva, and Rhoda Emma.
I am for Abraham Lincoln- I am Union to the core.’ At another time there came into her presence several rebel officers who had taken from her six fine farm horses – all her farming utensils – six good milk cows – 100 head of blooded sheep – then, came to her garden and destroyed her beautiful vegetables – and everything else they could find. After all this robbery they came into the house – and she said Gentlemen; there are two things you cannot take – my piano and land; they requested she give them some music- she sat down like a queen and ran her fingers gracefully over the keys – and said to them this is my own composition – “Jeff Davis’es [sic] destruction” – they replied that they did not admire that kind of music. Then she sang them a song, “Do they miss me at home” this brought them all to tears, and two of them refused to aid in the robbery – she gave them money to take them through the lines and they joined the Union Army.
After several months of contending with such occurrences, Nathaniel Taylor was able to send a flag of truce through the lines in order for Emmaline and their children to rejoin him in the North. For the rest of the war, the Taylor family lived in Camden County, New Jersey and helped raise $266,000 for East Tennesseans affected by the war. At the conclusion of the war, the family moved back to Tennessee.

Hearing voices is a fundamental human experience that is sometimes pathologized, sometimes sought after, and often terrifying. It has existed throughout history; current estimates suggest 4-10% of the population may at times hear voices. These experiences have been understood in dramatically different ways, and our readings will range widely across social, cognitive, biological, ethnographic, spiritual, and political perspectives. Several sessions will be co-taught (via video) with Jacqui Dillon, Chair of the Hearing Voices Network, England. Each student will complete a semester-long project, involving data analysis or literature review or practicum work in a community organization.

Buying a home can be an exciting prospect, but there are definitely a few hoops you’ll have to jump through before you can sign on the dotted line and get the keys to your new home. First and foremost, you have to seek properties that interest you. And although you likely have a price range in mind, along with a list of amenities (number of rooms, neighborhood, and so on), it could still be difficult to find the home that is perfect for you and your family. Then you have to get approved for a loan, put in an offer, and get through escrow before you can start the process of moving in. Of course, the main concern for most people, once they’ve found the home of their dreams, is the cost. And if you can find a way to bring it down there’s no reason you wouldn’t. In this regard, the ERATE application can help you.
In a nutshell, this app gives you access to current mortgage rates, by lender, so you can directly compare competitive rates for CashCall, Amerisave, Quicken Loans, and all kinds of other lenders. In addition, you have dozens of options when it comes to searching for the best rates for your home loan. You can search for adjustable or fixed rates in common increments like 15 or 30 years, as well as interest-only and jumbo options, amongst other things. And in addition to the rates offered by each lender, the app also provides intel on APR, points, fees, monthly payments (based on the loan amount), and periods for locking in rates. So it not only delivers a current snapshot of where mortgage rates are at, but it also works as a mortgage calculator to help home buyers figure out what they’ll actually be paying on a monthly basis. This can extremely handy for both those that are looking to purchase a home and those that are interested in refinancing a loan for the property they already have.
But it doesn’t end there. You might think that the app has outlived its usefulness once you’ve completed your home purchase or refi, but it goes a step further by providing users with credit card rates. There are several criteria that you can search by in this area, as well, such as best rewards, lowest APR, no annual fees, and the best cards for students, small businesses, and so on. In addition, the app will sort your results according to categories like introductory rates (and periods), annual rates, the type of rate, and even annual and late fees associated with the card. So you can narrow your search according to specific features you’re seeking.
This freebie for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch is designed to work in both portrait and landscape mode so that you can view all of your data on one screen (without having to scroll sideways as well as up and down). In addition, the app is ad-free. But aside from the ease of use, the main draw of this app is obvious. You’ll have to go elsewhere for home insurance rates (like mortgagelifeinsurance.org.uk), but ERATE can provide you with the information you need to buy a home, refinance the one you’ve got, or upgrade to a better credit card with current interest rates and a slew of search options.

Snowy Days in MN... makes a girl want to travel!
It is a pretty, snowy day here in Minnesota. I love the snow. It is so pretty watching the big fluffy flakes fall. All the brown leaves get covered up. It is also peacefully silent during a snow. If you have never experienced the quiet during a snowfall you are missing out on one of life's simple joys. Having lived in Minnesota my entire life, I think I'm required to love snow. However, I do not love the cold. As a result... I have been thinking about vacations and travel and warm sunshine on my face.
I recently joined a Facebook group of RV Quilters. One day I hope to travel for a month or more during the coldest stretch of winter. Until then, I enjoy reading about the quilters setting up their campers, trailers, 5th wheels, and motorhomes. The creative ways people use the limited space is truly amazing! The fantastic things these creative people make is so fun to see! Next Summer when Shirley, my 1974 Airstream Argosy, is ready to hit the road I am going to have a pop up explosion. I mean, seriously, there is no hope for me in this regard.
Shirley is getting so cute! We have passed the 5th year of her glamorization... I don't take the time to work on her. I have recently started making the dinette cushions. Finally diving into to the fabric I have collected for her is sew fun!
I always pack projects for any length of road trip. I get bored easily if I'm not driving, so hand stitching is always a must on a trip! Are any of you the same way? I pack up several Bag It Ups with different projects. I might have paper piecing in one bag, embroidery or crochet in another, and on and on. I use a Mini Pop-Up to catch my threads and a Spool Wallet to corral my spools, scissors and needles. It is a travelling trio of items that have quickly become a standard set for every trip!
The spools spin on the loops of the Spool Wallet making it easy to manage unruly spools of thread!
The Spool Wallet fits nicely in your purse... so does the Mini Pop Up!
I'm excited to announce my partnership with Bosal Foam, Fiber, Interfacing and Crafts!
Package contains 2 precut pieces of foam... enough to make 2 Spool Wallets! This makes construction easy and accurate!
Available at your local quilt shop very soon!
Something Fun for 2018... but you need to hurry and sign up!
During 2018, I've teamed up with 11 other designers and the IAQ quilt group (International Association of Quilters). Every month one designer is sharing an exclusive pattern with members...and while I'm not showing you the pattern I've designed, you know that all the patterns, including mine will be wonderful!!
Along with the pattern, we are also hosting quilt blocks for the Scavenger Hunt Quilt Along. Every month a new block from the designers is shared, building a sampler quilt. You'll be able to hop around and explore new sites and get to know each of us!
Registration closes on 12/28/2017 until April 2018... so hop on over and check it out! | 2019-04-21T19:03:25 | http://www.thefatquartergypsy.com/Lex-Luther-Blog.html?entry=snowy-days-in-mn-makes |
Now that we know Brace Yourself Games is working on a cross-over between Crypt of the NecroDancer and The Legend of Zelda series, it has raised questions about what else could be on the horizon.
When the Sonic The Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka first found out about an indie developer working with one of Nintendo’s most iconic series of all-time, he took to social media to reflect on his own experiences with the Japanese video game giant.
According to NintendoSoup, Naka explained how Cadence of Hyrule reminded him of a time when he asked Nintendo if he could borrow Mario for a game and was denied. Now, after the recent Nindie Direct announcement, Naka feels as if Nintendo has changed a lot.
Do you agree with Sonic's creator? Would you like to see more indie developers working with Nintendo's IP in the future? Tell us down in the comments.
Cadence of Hyrule looks really fun. I think it's great that Nintendo are more willing to take risks with their IP's and lend them to other devs.
All the legendary creators at Nintendo are nearing retirement, so yes, they desperately need young people with fresh ideas.
Uhm... isn't he aware of the Sonic & Mario Olympics Games?
@Forestt That game came after decades of rivalry... and it was more Nintendo borrowing a SEGA character rather than the other way around.
Yes they change. As careful as a dinosaur, but they do change.
Nintendo changed the moment the Switch trailer was released. It has reinvented itself in a manner that many never thought was possible.
They’ve really changed for the better.
I think he's right, but it hasn't been an instant thing. It's been one small step, then another small step, then another. Some crossover games from the Wii days onwards, a more open and friendly approach to indie developers, willingness to change up long established formats and return to long dead ones. This latest thing is just another small step in what absolutely does add up to a giant leap.
I think it's really nice of Nintendo to lend one of their strongest IP to a indie developer, but I doubt that happened without careful research and certainty they were working with a high quality studio. Surely the developers are working under Nintendo's watchful eye and heavy hand.
That is not to say it isn't worth the challenge and praise, but Nintendo didn't just pop out of the shadows and said "Hey, here os Link and Zelda for you! Go nuts you guys!"
Have they? Yeah, It's not like there weren't signs with Mario & Rabbids or Fox in Starlink. Doing it with an indie (after careful vetting) was a logical next step.
I’d really like Next Level Games to put something else out. A punch out or a Mario Strikers. Their last game was federation force... and that was a decent game underserved by franchise starvation.
According to some Wii U owners Nintendo hasn't yet changed enough. They want to see Nintendo putting fresh IP out or giant new franchise updates that justify buying a Switch for them.
I'm a newbie to Nintendo so I don't feel that of course but I hear them.
The biggest misconception about Nintendo is that their success is from the characters Mario, Link, Kirby etc. The truth is they want a good game mechanic then the character is laid over the top. If you look at Cadence of Hyrule, Hyrule Warriors, or Mario vs Rabbids they stand up as games that Nintendo probably wouldn’t come up with themselves (The concept of a Rhythm RPG is perhaps one of the most original ideas in a while), but by putting Nintendo characters in the game gets eyes on very sturdy, fun games.
I think Nintendo's increasing collaboration with Xbox to the advantage of both is indicative of a huge new openess to to non-Japanese things. It's great. Can only improve both companies.
Now if we can have some more AAA Nintendo games alongside the indies I would be happy.
@Masurao There is probably no group of people out there who have internalized Nintendo's design philosophy more than indie publishers and devotees like Davide Soliani. Gradually bringing these people into the fold is a huge step towards the company's future while preserving its identity.
@DanteSolablood That’s actually untrue. SEGA were awarded the Olympics license, and requested to use Mario to give the game more appeal (hence, as previously mentioned, the game was developed by SEGA).
@MrGawain I do not know about the future, but right now if you show an original and fun demo to Miyamoto, he will most likely lend you his characters. There was an interview some years ago in which he stated that most requests for remasters and collaborations get declined because all the developers show him is how neat the graphics are/how cool the design is, while all he cares about is whether it is fun and original or not. ...or something along those lines anyway. Either way, just look at Kickstarter, they rarely ever mention gameplay and just throw around names and concept art.
@DanteSolablood those games were SEGA developed, are you sure?
Which means what? If you base you intake of information on 140 or 280 characters then you are a sad individual lacking the ability to think in larger concepts.
I don't think the change is a good thing. Launch year was amazing and not much since. How long do we have to wait for a full fledged Legend of Zelda game? We're two months away from the year halfway done and no word of a sequel of Breath of the Wild or a New Switch Legend of Zelda game. I mean Links Awaking may be fun for a while. Cadence of Hyrule maybe too. Those games are short compared to Breath of the Wild. Is the Switch only going to have one full fledged Legend of Zelda game? Will a New Legend of Zelda ever come to the Switch? Links Awaking will be fun, but look at the graphics it could of came out on the 3DS. The Switch is about halfway through its life and one one full fledged Legend of Zelda game... The Wiiu had more.
For all the people bringing up M&S at the Olympic Games, Naka had left Sega by that point. And yes, co-creator, please.
Nintendo's change is bad. They forgot what made themselves so important in the gaming industry. Having standards! They lost that ideology. Now they let anyone on their platform, and now the last straw they're letting indie devs use their IPs. Idc when people use IPs for fan made games, that's way different. You know it's not official, this game for Zelda is fan made and is official. I think I'm just really upset that Nintendo lost its standards ideology.
They're certainly a lot more open than they used to be. In this world you can't prosper by isolating yourself and having an insular way of doing things.
I would use the word evolved.
@Masurao Uhm, who's retiring from Nintendo?
The Sonic games are awful, I never liked them at all. Cool and interesting design, but once I played them, I didn't understand what people liked about them.
@Zidentia Sorry, I meant to tag this under random. Fixed.
With a modern continues system it was pretty easy to slowly get better at each zone and move to the next. I could hardly beat the first level of Sonic 1 or 2.
"Borrowing Mario" still might not exactly be in the cards for Naka.
But after Kingdom Battle and Mario Run, and things like Hyrule Warriors and now Cadence of Hyrule (both of which you will notice don't contain the magic words "Legend of Zelda"), and with an upcoming Mario movie from Illumination, Nintendo is obviously rolling with the IP licensing deals.
@Zidentia I am not a sad individual. You're a sad individual!
@MrGawain thearhythm final fantasy anyone?
You started this by calling me a name.
Yes that's a cool story Naka, now go ask them again and this time maybe they'll allow you to make that awesome Sonic Mario crossover platformer game that we always dream of.
This article has no "substance", no real information and it is surely written by a 7 year old wannabe journalist.
@Zidentia Kids these days right and from the Netherlands too, a country which I honestly respect. I thought Dutch people are nice people but I guess there's one bad seed in every apple and this one just got loose.
@CoastersPaul Maybe is not the game for me.
It's a mixed bag with the Switch. Nintendo has gotten a bunch of good-to-great Indie games for its eShop library, but a nigh-unnavigable MOUNTAIN of virtual shovelware. Nintendo making a collaboration with such an Indie studio suggests they have confidence in that particular studio to maintain a certain expectation of quality for their own IP, but from a marketing standpoint it's just as much about selling the concept of "Nindies" to Switch users via exposure. Which means, deep down, they know their catalog is bloated with way too much garbage but want to demonstrate to gamers and reassure Indie developers of their commitment to Indies going forward.
In the long run, however, I think the pendulum will swing back toward the center; the overall benefit of having more titles of dubious quality on the eShop (and which nobody buys or plays) will prove less than the old standard of having fewer games of higher overall quality. Companies are in business to make money, after all, and inevitably Nintendo is going to realize (again, assuming they already haven't) that the majority of their Nindies are dead weight. And Nintendo's approach will then "change" yet again.
Eh, Its all good. Thanks for the message.
@Zidentia Don't tell me I need to explain to you a tweet can be a news story, or at least the foundation for it.
Yea, the switch will only have 1 full fledged Zelda game.
Zelda game then much smaller Zelda’s and older zeldas until a new system hits.
Personally I’m happy with BOTW, but I never expected any kind of follow up. Switch has so much on it there’s no way I’ll ever tear through my back catelogue. If you need another mainline Zelda game, I’m just saying I wouldn’t hold my breath.
What even is this three paragraph article.
@Dilated You can only find the shrines so many times before it becomes a chore. I am just sad, that's why I loved the Wii so much. I could play Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. And the Switch gets what?.... I don't want to buy a 3DS. If you can't tell they are my favorite series. I don't like the new way of business.
Yuji Naka? You mean the a-hole who wouldn't even let STI/SoA borrow his NIGHTS engine for Sonic X-Treme? Sorry, Naka is a notorious jerk. No sympathy.
@biglittlejake Nothing to say that Nintendo isn't going to pump out some ports of the rest of the back catalogue. The switch is only in its 3rd year and quite frankly we are seeing some amazing stuff due out. I would be happy if they are working on ports or something new. Even if the next big Zelda adventure is on switch 2 I'm happy.
I've always wanted to play a platformer/action/adventure game featuring characters from both Sonic and Mario IPs together.
I agree with Beermonkey, it’s not out of the question for us to see ports of some of the previous Zelda games hit the switch. Personally I would like to see the N64 games get ported over. It may be that so long as the 3DS is around they aren’t going to move these games but it’s a wait and see. I get it though, I was let down when they gave up the Virtual Console in favor of the current NES only games on the service. They should have SNES and N64 on there, for some reason they are choosing not to.
It's hard for me because I have a PS4 and Switch. The Switch is becoming a second console. All these ports that are celebrated for coming to Switch are normally more expensive than on my PS4. I am longing for a full-fledged Nintendo game, not something that looks 20 years old. Look at the sports games and compare from the Switch to PS4 and Xbox. The Switch looks closer to PS3 graphics than 4 or One. I won't say anything else, I don't want to argue with a Nintendo fanboy.
@Masurao It was those "old cats" that got Nintendo to where they are. I wouldn't be to excited to see a younger crowd in there. I think the younger generation isn't as, how can I say it, enthusiastic to work as hard. I see too many people in the work force between 18 and 30, they are "soft". However, Nintendo isn't going to hire just anybody. If anything they should look to Japan for replacements.....no I'm not Asian. Better work ethic.
@Dilated I wish there was virtual console too. The virtual console will probably be on smartphones before the Switch.
changed? maybe they don't like you...or sega that much.
@Masurao don’t know how true your comment is. A lot of those old developers are training the newer generation employees. Just take a look at any Nintendo series through the decades and how different developers have been credited with the game. Only thing that has changed is that Nintendo allowed an indie developer to make a game using their IP. Others like Namco, Capcom, and Team Ninja has already made games using Nintendo’S IP.
@Forestt @DanteSolablood But... the Mario & Sonic series is developed by Sega.
Candidly on the Port’s comment.
For me, when they first announced the switch and I saw the graphics it had, I wanted one as I assumed many x360 and PS3 games would be ported to it and I would have those games on the go.
I say the more the merrier! Sure we can always use more 1st party Nintendo products but I’ll never understand the hate prople give to ported games.
I love having Diablo 3 on the go, or Skyrim, SMBWiiU, Final Fantasy Games, especially XII incoming right around the corner and the Resident Evil remaster! Thank you Nintendo.
I’ve played these games but having them for when I’m staying at hotels or at my cousins is so amazing.
Wow, people are complaining that BOTW and Mario Odyssey sequels are not out yet? Both of these games were masterpieces and in the case of BOTW, I am STILL playing that game into my second year. If they release sequels for them, they have high standards to meet.
Also, I have such a backlog of games to play that likely I'll never touch due to how much time I have anymore. Between a wife, a job, a family and other things, I don't have hours to park in front of a TV and game. I take the moments as they come.
I love all the variety of games we are getting for the Switch. The 1st party exclusives, the indie titles and the growing lineup of 3rd part ports. I think the graphics on the Switch are beautiful and I never played most of these games before, so they are fun and fine for me.
One thing I do like that Nintendo is doing is being hands off on censorship. They used to be hardliners on censorship and now, you could say they offer more freedom than even PlayStation does in this regard.
@Maulbert If my hard work was copied without asking permission I would also throw a fit. Especially for a terrible concept like x-treme.
......DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER WHEN NINTENDO LET THE PUZZLES AND DRAGONS CREATOR MAKE A MARIO THEMED GAME!?!?!? Why is everyone acting like this is some groundbreaking stuff when Nintendo let some random mobile game studio make a Mario game based off their game on the 3ds? Nintendo has changed it's view on this subject years ago, so why only now is it being brought to light?
@kingbk Well, just recently Playstation started cracking down on censorship and has even forced its developers to keep quiet about it, getting the ones who do talk into a lot of legal trouble. So ya Nintendo has definitely passed Sony in that regard.
leaving the cursed seal of quality, and suporting the indie scene is one of their best move ever made.
thank god indie games are saviours of gaming. without them no new concepts wich leads to new ips.
nintendo knows this, thats why they are suporting these guys.
next big thing would be produce consoles with made ports more suitable for thirthparty developers, and to listen more to the gamers in terms of sharing content.
but at least to make developers decide to port GTA. farcry etc. you get the point.
@AlienX So? He's hardly earned the cachet he gets. He programmed Sonic. He's done crap otherwise, and is a notorious dickbag in the industry. I say screw him.
Have they changed? Yes and no. They’re still the same Nintendo, pushing boundaries in a different way to the “norm” be it software or hardware, though still a little stubborn in some areas.
But they’ve obviously evolving slowing and reaching out to others, even to their competitors.
But the one thing people are getting wrong, or are assuming with this indie colab, is that they believe this means they’ll colab, with indie devs in particular, in a way that they’ll be able to make “fangames” official games, similar to Sonic Mania, which at this point in time, I can’t see that happening.
These colabs Nintendo wants the developers to do something different and to their strengths, like telling Ubisoft “Mario can’t jump”, so they came up with an XCOM Mario game, or Cadence of Hyrule is a rhythm game ft LoZ.
At the most, if they’re lucky enough, indie devs may get to work with Nintendo on a top IP, be it new or remake/remaster (i.e. Grezzo) or a dormant IP (which could be a good idea), but they aren’t going to give an indie dev one of their top IPs and tell them “go nuts”.
I wish the Sonic series would just wither away; it had its time but now it’s just embarrassing to see the devs struggle and fail with each new entry. Someone just pull the plug on it already!
I agree that Nintendo is changing, but not for the worse. Nintendo always had severe trust issues when loaning their IPs and rightfully so. Overtime they've learned to trust in people who have proven to have an undying love, dedication, and respect for Nintendo IPs. Ubisoft's dev team proved it with Mario+Rabbids and StarlinkXStarfox(even though I kinda hate Starlink). Brace Yourself Games has already proved it with how beautiful Cadence of Hyrule looks.
This is just my opinion, but I think what has changed about Nintendo is that they have realized major third party publishers are never going to fully support their platform no matter what they do or how successful the platform is.
So I think they've decided to turn to indies to help them build a platform library instead. It's a good proposition for indies: come to the platform where you have a better chance at exposure because the spotlight won't be hogged by big budget AAA releases. And if your game is really good, Nintendo will promote it.
This won't work, he's still not getting Mario.
I agree with @AlphaElite, Nintendo knows they can't always, if at all, have the full support of major 3rd parties, except for occasional less-than famous franchises, and such.
Seems like a step in the right direction. It's good to see them easing up a tad on their IPs since, in some cases, these smaller developers really do have a better understanding of what people want. Mania is a testament to that.
From what I've recollected, when that indie approached Nintendo with the idea, it seemed like the japanese devs, after hearing it, were also interested on the collab. Nintendo has been quite open on why they accept collaborations: "Games that we can't make". Hyrule Warriors and Kingdom Battle are some examples of this. Probably Naka's proposal wasn't interesting for Nintendo because of this and they denied it.
Nintendo still mad at sega for stomping them out in the 90's.
@Masurao Like what? Are Splatoon, ARMS and Labo not-so-fresh to you?
@Geostyle Didn't the SNES outsell the Genesis worldwide? Where's the stomping in that?
@Dog well I'm speaking from someone who lived in Yugoslav and America. Weeb.
Dear mister Naka...maybe Nintendo didn't like your idea?
Anyway: Nintendo must have a lot of faith in the Necrodancer developer, that's for sure. The first trailer looked really great, I think it pays of. I wonder if Nintendo might do a physical version. Since its the Zelda brand, I might want the physical version. Who knows? | 2019-04-21T04:40:42 | http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/random_sonic_the_hedgehog_creator_yuji_naka_thinks_nintendo_has_changed |
Geez, I wish I‘d written this. Andrew McAfee on What They Learned in College.
When they take jobs, do you think they‘ll willingly stop using such tools? Will they happily switch over to legacy corporate collaboration technologies that are less freeform and harder to search, make them jump through more hoops, restrict their privileges and access based on their position on the org. chart, and generally have a ‘pre-Web 2.0‘ look and feel?
Let‘s say that The Economist and others are right and the global war for talent really is heating up. I imagine that an increasingly important front in that war, at least for new entrants to the skilled workforce, is going to be the technology environment built by companies — the one within which they expect their people to do their work. Environments that support the way smart young people want to work, and are used to working, are going to look comparatively attractive.
I also imagine that when smart young people look at the Intranets and collaboration technologies currently in place at a lot of companies, they‘ll find them (to use a polite term) quaint. And I doubt that quaint is what they‘re looking for.
If you are a pre-2.0 enterprise you‘d had better be working fast to catch-up. The consequences to your future will be significant. | 2019-04-23T04:18:35 | http://blog.k1v1n.com/2006/10/andrew-mcafee-on-next-generation-of.html |

Business certificate programs are typically shorter than associate and bachelor's degree programs. Generally speaking, a business certificate program can be completed in one to 12 months. Furthermore, certificate programs often focus on a particular specialization of business, such as applied management, advertising, basic accounting, business administration, financial management or human resources management. Certificate programs in e-business or e-commerce, technical writing and nonprofit management may also be available.
After earning a certificate in business, you may be able to find a position as an administrative assistant, an office clerk, a word processing clerk, a retail store specialist or a sales associate. | 2019-04-26T12:26:11 | https://www.getdegrees.com/d/certificates/business |
Telec-vtb-t is a set for telecaster comprising a stainless steel plate with volume and tone control, a pick-up selector (Neck-Both-Bridge) and a wired gold plated output jack.
Easy – no soldering - mounting, requires just a screw-driver.
Tone control consists in a 250KΩ tone potentiometer with an option of choosing 4 different capacitors, or the combination of them, with the consequence of different »depth« of the tone control activity.
There are 3 jumper swithes on the circuit board. In the first picture they are all OFF, meaning there is just a basic capacitor acting on the tone control -the brightest sound.
In the second picture there is an example of the jumper switch set on ON meaning adding extra capacitance to the circuit – in the case of the tone control we are getting deeper sound.
Volume control consists in a 250KΩ volume potentiometer with a special P taper characteristic enlarging the effective zone of the rotation when volume adjusting.
The extra feature of this potentiometer is an adjustable paralel treble bleed circuit.
If all 3 jumper switches are in OFF position, means there is just a basic capacitor acting on treble bleed control.
Adding jumper switches on ON position, results in adding capacitance in the paralel treble bleed circuit.
Trimmer potentiometer – see picture above, adjustable with a simple screw-driver, effects on a resistance value of the treble bleed circuit.
The combination of jumper switches and setting of the trimmer offers almost infinite values of treble bleed impact on the volume control. | 2019-04-23T09:55:33 | https://www.sever.si/pot-set-tele-toggle-sw-vtb-t-socket-control-patesatin |

Mediterranean cuisine or style of cooking fits me like a glove. I love all the flavors form this region. I think in my previous life, I lived somewhere in the Mediterranean.
My favorite herbs such as basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, sage and mint are associated with dishes from the Mediterranean. Add to that tomatoes, garlic, anchovies, artichokes and olives and I am in a Mediterranean heaven. Quite frankly, I think I could happily follow a vegetarian lifestyle if I lived in this region. A good old South African Braai, is what makes me weak in the knees though.
When I put it in the sandwich press, it my heart missed a beat. Oozing Mozzarella, soft juicy tomatoes. need I say more.
Cut the bread in half, lengthwise. Spread the pasta sauce on both halves. Pack the ingredients in the bottom half of the bread. If you are eating the bread cold, simply cut in thick slices and serve, or wrap in brown paper, tie up with string and take on your next picnic.
If you want to eat it warm with maybe a spicy tomato soup, simply place the to half of the bread on the filling, place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 180 C. Alternatively, press it in your sandwich press and toast to perfection.
Nina this recipe looks great!
And I totally agree with a South African braai. I am in Oz at the moment and a real South African braai, with charcoal, is really what I need! | 2019-04-25T09:55:56 | https://www.my-easy-cooking.com/2015/06/30/mediterranean-ciabatta-delicious-hot-or-cold/ |

HMS Astute S119 Royal Navy Submarine.
Built : BAE Systems Barrow-in-Furness and launched 8th June 2007.
Commissioned 27th August 2010 for Clyde Naval Base, and on sea trials.
Length 97m., beam 11.3m., draught 10m.
Propulsion Rolls-Royce PWR2 reactor giving speed 29 knots submerged.
Crew 98 officers and men.
Armament 6 x 533mm tubes.
This is the Hobby Boss 700 scale plastic kit of HMS Astute with full hull or waterline options. The kit has a minimal number of parts with more decals than actual parts unless you prefer the waterline option.
The build is quick and simple even with the water base option as shown. It also gives you a chance to show your black painting skills or technique. I used White Ensign Models disruptive black with a Windsor and Newton polar white ink wash to reduce the effect. There is some MIG rust color but very limited.
My result is a nice quick exercise to keep your hand in and build a value for money £3.75 from your local shop, kit. | 2019-04-25T21:51:15 | http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=features&file=view&artid=4266 |
Tucked away in a small percentage of Jeb Bush’s emails were the names, birth dates and Social Security numbers — the three pieces of information key to identity theft — of more than 12,000 people.
DES MOINES, Iowa — By posting online all of his personal email from his eight years as Florida’s governor, Jeb Bush sought to show himself as a tech-savvy executive, in touch with constituents and an active administrator.
But tucked away in a small percentage of those hundreds of thousands of messages were the names, birth dates and Social Security numbers — the three pieces of information key to identity theft — of more than 12,000 people, according to an independent firm.
Bush’s attempt to demonstrate transparency comes as he prepares for a likely presidential run in 2016. His political action committee, Right to Rise, wasn’t involved in the email-posting effort, a Bush spokeswoman said.
Using the website jebemails.com, Bush posted the emails online Tuesday. While Bush’s spokeswoman said the emails numbered about 275,000, Feinman said his audit showed about 333,000 messages.
By Thursday, the private information from all but a few hundred of the emails had been removed, Feinman said.
While Bush’s team was scrubbing what was posted, there were other ways to access the emails online as late as Thursday afternoon. | 2019-04-24T02:30:32 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/jeb-bush-posts-emails-containing-social-security-numbers/ |

Thoughts are the triggers of a chain reaction. Every great event which changed the course of mankind was first generated as a ‘thought form” in the mind of some individual. Even destructive events like wars, invasions and massacres were first born as thoughts which later on manifested into actions.
One has to look and watch out closely for such thoughts which are likely to herald in change. One such event if you may call it one was the news headlines on the possible attempted “military coup in India “. Now one might never know the truth of the matter; was it real or was the story a plant by someone one very powerful and neck deep in corruption to discredit the Indian army; particularly the Chief Vijay Singh, as most people believe to be.
Whatever the real truth may be, what is now real is that the “thought form” of a military coup in India has now taken birth in the overself. How this “thought form” develops has to be monitored closely. The possibility of a military coup in India seem more real than ever before.
No doubt those opposed to such an action [ read government of India] are likely to or have already taken some pre-emptive measures. But what must be remembered is that the oldest human law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction” will always apply.
This site has already published a lot of material on the rapidly unfolding events in India; the unimaginable looting and the total criminalization of governance. The wheels of change are rapidly unfolding. We live in an extremely fluid and volatile environment in which every thing seems possible. | 2019-04-24T02:34:24 | https://www.prophet666.com/2012/04/possibility-of-military-coup-in-india.html |
Have you ever asked at the farmers market “Is that organic?” and been told “No, but it is Certified Naturally Grown.” Wondering what in the world that means? Well, read on.
What is Certified Naturally Grown (CNG)?
CNG is a grassroots-led alternative to the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) for small-scale farmers who distribute their products through local venues like farmers markets, community supported agriculture subscriptions, restaurants, roadside stands and through grocery stores with local produce initiatives.
But, it’s also for shoppers trying to reduce their environmental impact by choosing locally-grown produce and farm products. Recent studies have shown that choosing locally-grown produce is a better choice with less environmental impact than organic produce that has been shipped around the world.
But what’s the difference between Certified Naturally Grown and the USDA National Organic Certification Program? In a word, it’s cost. The cost of becoming certified under the USDA’s program is prohibitive for many small local producers. The USDA’s program is better suited to medium and large commercial growers who can afford the fees and have a large enough staff to handle the paperwork requirements. The Certified Naturally Grown program is appropriate for farms selling directly in their local communities.
The CNG Standards and growing requirements are based on the USDA National Organic Program rules. They are no less strict- in fact CNG farmers are constantly improving their soil and striving to increase the sustainability of their farming operations. The primary difference between CNG and the USDA Organic program is cost to farmers and paperwork requirements.
The next time you are at the farmers market, or you stop by a roadside stand in front of a local farm, don't ask "Are you certified organic?", instead ask if they are Certified Naturally Grown. | 2019-04-26T06:37:21 | https://www.organicauthority.com/buzz-news/is-certified-naturally-grown-just-as-good-as-organic |
London Developers Toolkit — Alephograph: Architecture, drawing and video games.
A 'satirical app' / renegade startup platform investigating the burgeoning skyline of phallic residential developments across London - targeted at the unfeasibly wealthy. The app asks users to produce 'napkin sketches' and parametricize their architecture, allowing someone of limited formal training to produce their own totemic structure. The Toolkit also provides a facility for the production of rich and visually evocative promotional material to capture the hearts and minds of potential investors. Built on Unity. Soundtrack: In Too Deep (MIDI Version) by Phil Collins.
Partially inspired by the site Development Aesthetics as well as the infamous Redrow 'American Psycho' advert.
Seen together, a set of possible structures composed of the in-game components cluster together, like the totems rising at various points on London's skyline.
Structures being assembled as the player goes through the motions of producing an 'inspirational' napkin sketch (off screen).
Components for the totemic/phallic structure are sourced from fact, fiction and fact that is stranger than fiction. The world of the super rich is seen through voxel-based models, their cartoonish forms mixing with the serious issues at play.
The game interface in use as an intrepid 'designer' attempts to trace a particularly inspirational napkin sketch into the system. Which London building might this be?
'Glossey Renderings' produced by the London Developers Toolkit, to be printed, cut out and distributed around the city to demonstrate the exciting future of London's skyline! | 2019-04-23T00:18:04 | https://www.alephograph.com/london-developers-toolkit/ |
