Any talk of economics is nil without mentioning production, a problem believed to have been solved because after all, to paraphrase Schumacher, aren’t we better fed, better clothed, better housed, better educated than ever before? Most of us, he says, but only in the rich countries.
It is in this context that he debunked the problem of production: capital, as we know it, does not include the most important element it needs to survive — nature. Of which is limited, of which is not permanent. Sure, there are machineries. And yes, there is labor. What the capitalist does not take into account is the limitation of resources around us, that it is finite and is being used up at alarming rates.
Modern man does not experience himself as a part of nature but as an outside force destined to dominate and conquer it.
We find…that the idea of unlimited economic growth, more and more until everybody is saturated with wealth, needs to be seriously questioned on at least two counts: the availability of basic resources and, alternatively or additionally, the capacity of the environment to cope with the degree of interference implied.
He goes straight to the core of the human condition, and I am vaguely reminded of a political philosopher whose name I have forgotten but whose words have been embedded in my mind: that we are all caged monsters inside.
I’ve long been haunted by the idea of man’s insatiability, something that all spirituality tackles. And as much as I understand the beauty of creating and adhering to alternative realities where justice and equality are possible, I am terribly suspicious of man’s inherent nature.
Schumacher is much more forgiving, much more hopeful.
How could we even begin to disarm greed and envy? Perhaps by being much less greedy and envious ourselves; perhaps by resisting the temptation of letting our luxuries become needs; and perhaps by even scrutinizing our needs to see if they cannot be simplified and reduced.
He brings a more humane approach and a way of thinking about every aspect that touches and influences our lives, challenging the reader to see economics as a system up close.

In 2009 the legislature enacted few bills directed specifically to homeowners associations, but a wide variety of bills will affect associations as well as others. Following are brief summaries of the most important of these statutory changes.
A new form, called a “Disclosure Documents Index,” has been added to the paperwork that associations must keep and make available to owners. This index is a list of documents that must be distributed to the owners annually. If any owner requests a copy of the index, it must be provided to them. To download this index, please see www.jhmlawoffice.com.
The “Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary” has been amended. This document must be distributed to the owners each year. To download the revised form, please see www.jhmlawoffice.com.
Associations can deliver notices to Board members and owners by fax, email, or posting on their website if (1) the association gives the owners separate notice of the website posting, (2) the recipient has given consent to this means of notification (this should be in writing) and consent has not been revoked, and (3) record of the notice can be retained, retrieved, reviewed, and printed out.
Before getting the owners’ written consent for notice by email, fax or website posting, the association must (1) notify them that they have the option of getting hard copies instead, (2) clarify whether the owners’ consent will be on a one-time basis, for only certain categories of communications, or for all communications, and (3) notify the owners how they can revoke their consent.
Electronic distribution is allowed for the required annual disclosures listed on the “Disclosure Documents Index” form which you can download at www.jhmlawoffice.com (Civ. Code § 1363.005), notice to members of rules changes (Civ. Code § 1357.130), notice to members of membership meetings, and notice to directors of Board meetings.
Until 2010, California law prohibited associations’ architectural guidelines from prohibiting water-efficient plants. That language was made stronger: As of January 1, 2010, a provision in the CC&Rs or other governing documents is void and unenforceable if it prohibits water-efficient plants or plants that conform with water conservation laws or ordinances.
This bill made multiple changes to statutes on officers, directors, committees, articles, and bylaws.
Amendments to Articles or Bylaws. The Bylaws or Articles can state that they can be amended by a person or persons other than the Board or the members. As of 1/1/10, that approval requirement will not apply if, basically, it becomes impossible to fulfill, i.e. through death. Corp. Code §§ 7132, 7150.
Authorized number of directors. Bylaws can now state how the authorized number of directors is to be determined, i.e. by Board resolution or Bylaw amendment. Corp. Code §§ 7151, 7211.
Reducing the number of directors. Until January 1, 2010, a Bylaw amendment reducing the number of directors could not remove a current director from office until their term expires. Revised statute now allows the Bylaw amendment to name one or more specific directors who would be removed from office immediately on passage of the amendment. Corp. Code § 7222.
Quorum of the Board. The Bylaws can now require a particular person to be present (such as the Board president) in order to have a quorum of the Board, as long as there actually is such a person. Corp. Code § 7211.
No director proxies. Nothing at law or in governing documents ever allowed directors vote by proxy—only owners can use proxies for membership votes or membership meetings—but now this has been added to statute. Directors cannot vote by proxy. Corp. Code § 7211.
Automatic directors. The articles and Bylaws can state that someone is automatically a director because of another position that they hold (i.e. the developer or the Board president).
Committees. Committees can have non-directors but those committees cannot exercise the authority of a director. This was always the case, but now it is specifically stated in statute. Corp. Code § 7212.
Reliance on committees. In performing their duties, directors can rely on the opinions, reports or statements of committees, if the director is not a committee member. Statute has been revised to limit this to committees composed of (1) directors, (2) officers or employees whom the director believes to be competent, or (3) persons whom the director believes are acting within their professional or expert competence. Corp. Code § 7231.
This “good samaritan law” protects individuals from liability for negligence in giving at-the-scene medical assistance in an emergency. They could still be held liable if they acted with gross negligence or with willful or wanton misconduct.
It is a misdemeanor for a contractor to work without a valid license. The fine for doing so is increased from $1,000 to $5,000; repeat offenders can be fined up to $10,000. If an unlicensed contractor is convicted of a misdemeanor, his customers are considered victims and the criminal court can award them damages; this now applies whether or not the customer knew that the contractor is unlicensed.
This is the state version of the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act which was enacted last year, setting standards for pool and spa drain covers. California statute now contains additional safety requirements; failure to comply is a misdemeanor; and associations who did not retrofit their pools to comply with the federal Act must comply with the state requirements by July 1, 2010. By September 30, 2010, they must file a compliance form showing that the pool modifications were performed by a licensed contractor. The California Department of Public Health is to create a form and post it on its website, www.cdph.ca.gov.
Until January 1, 2010, California law required associations and management companies (and other businesses) to destroy records containing personal information when they were no longer needed. This amendment allows the association to dispose of the documents instead of destroying them. Still, the records must be “disposed of” by shredding them or otherwise making the personal information unreadable. “Personal information” includes owners’ names, signatures, social security numbers, physical characteristics or description, addresses, telephone numbers, passport numbers, driver's license or state identification card numbers, insurance policy numbers, education, employment, employment history, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information.
By January 1, 2014, when making certain building alterations, owners must replace noncompliant plumbing fixtures with water-conserving fixtures.
By January 1, 2017, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures must be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. A seller or transferor of a unit must disclose in writing to the buyer or transferee whether the plumbing complies to water conservation requirements.
By January 1, 2014, if the building is modified to increase the building’s floor space by more than 10%, all fixtures in must be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. If the multifamily building is making alterations with a total cost of over $150,000, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in the affected areas must be replaced. If any work requiring a permit is being done to a room in that building, any noncompliant plumbing fixtures in that room must be replaced.
By January 1, 2019, a seller or transferor of a unit in the building must disclose in writing to the buyer or transferee whether the plumbing complies to water conservation requirements.
These requirements do not apply to registered historical sites or to buildings where a licensed plumber certifies that the replacement is not technically feasible. | 2019-04-21T16:32:17 | https://www.jhmlawoffice.com/newsletter-issue-11.html |

Can prednisone cause blurred vision and numbness in feet?
Been on 20ng per day prednisone for PMR for 5 months. Toes have started going numb and vision blurring. Can these be side affects of prednisone? When finally get weaned off prednisone, will these problems go away?
The only side effect that I got out of prednisone was getting very close to osteoporosis which my rheumatologist fixed with an injection twice a year of Prolia which is a bone reconstructive agent.
I was taking 55mgs of prednisone and 6 months had passed when I got bronchitis and asthma. I was hospitalized and I had a big pain on my side which I thought was because of the coughing. The doctor said it was 3 fractured ribs and they called my rheumatologist and she ordered a bone scan with urgency and it was the prednisone. Five years have passed and now I am taking 5mgs of prednisone daily. Ribs healed but I have been getting better with acupuncture for preventing stress. Stress aggravates polymyalgia.This was informed to me by Dr Ayala. He is my acupuncturist and he is a doctor MD too. Try to be calm and relaxed. I used to take tramadol too but now I don't.
The only thing I cannot leave is the prednisone. As soon as I try to quit I go into bad pain and immobility again so I keep up with it and take the injection. I did gain a lot of weight but I don't care about it anymore. I can move and I can do my things without help and I love that ;so who cares I am fat. On my first year with this illness I was almost an invalid. Had to cut my hair because I could not raise my arms very well to comb myself. My husband did not know how to do anything with my long hair. There is hope, do not despair. Looks bad in the beginning but you get better with time. The blurred vision and the numbness on your feet could be diabetes. Check with your doctor. My rheumatologist told me to go on a diet as soon as I started prednisone, she said that it can raise your sugar and cause diabetes if you don't eat well. I know my sugar went up in the coming years but still not enough to be diabetic.
I had blurry vision and a good deal of swelling to the face which included the eyes. I had neuropathy in my feet only. I asked to switch to methylprednisolone and everything changed for me. I have been on steroids for 4 1/2 years and am finally down to 0.5 mg. The trip down was tedious.
Finally almost there. I hope this helps you. I know, it’s tough. Best of luck.

Will I ever get off Prednisone?

Aluminium nitride is a technical ceramic with interesting properties that finds extensive use within the electronics industry. The thermal conductivity of sintered aluminium nitride is usually in the order of 170-180 W/mK, which is significantly higher than many other technical ceramics. Aluminium nitride can be formed into large shapes and is also readily available as a thin substrate.
Sintered Aluminium Nitride is a fully dense material, which can be produced in a cost effective manner, to complex net shapes. This ceramic material has high thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity compared to normal aluminium nitride.
Both material has good electrical insulator and can be easily metallised if required. For this reason the material is often used as a heat sink or in other applications where it is desirable to remove heat quickly.
Components according to customers design.
Boron Nitride products are manufactured as powders, finished components and blanks, as well as liquid coatings for various high temperature applications in molten metal equipment. Boron Nitride is an advanced ceramic material available in powder, solid, liquid and aerosol spray forms and in solid state it can be machine very easily using diamond tooling.
Boron Nitride can easily be machined to close tolerances in virtually with any complex shape. After machining, it is ready to use without additional heat treating or firing operations. In inert and reducing atmospheres, Boron Nitride will withstand temperatures over 2,000°C. It is not wet by most non-ferrous molten metals and slags and can therefore be used as a container for most molten metals including aluminium, sodium, iron, steel, silicon, tin, copper, magnesium etc. metals.
These types of ceramics are excellent electrical insulators, wear resistance, chemical resistance and also can be used at high temperature up to 1400.C depending on type of ceramics and applications involves it is very low cost materials to manufacture, which can be produced by injection moulding, die pressing, extruding, slip casting etc. methods to the near to net shapes. | 2019-04-21T06:47:51 | https://www.jaiengineers.com/materials-products/other-fine-ceramics/ |

Call for entries for the CYNETart award 2006 international competition for computer-based art.
CYNETart has been showing new trends of cultural developments in the media arts since 1997. The consequences of the prevailing progress of civilisation and the introduction of new information technologies in all fields of social life lead to the disembodiment of perception triggering the examination of a new sensitivity for physical experience and for the perception of one&8217;s own body.
The international festival focuses on the changed perception of the body caused by new information technologies. At this, the performance of the new technologie is less important, it is rather about their cultural potential for mediation. This applies f.i. to linkages between existential questions of humankind and their perception.
It also applies to a more sensual approach to scientific methods of research and the interconnections between the arts.
CYNETart_06humane is devoted to the theme of Body-images – Image-body :: the bred, contstructed, staged, cultivated, homemade and self-designed human being.
The submitted project focuses on the integrated body and its medial “embodiment” in dance pieces, installations, computer games or performances. The transposition is using suitable interfaces and software (f.i. camera motion sensing-systems), which allow for the realtime linkage of physical movement with auditory/visual processes.
You may submit strategies or blueprints which understand the net as extended social interaction/cooperation; utopian drafts of societies with the inherent attempt to include them into active social life. How is technological and intellectual knowledge applied to the practice of an electronic culture of awareness?
audio processing, visual processing sound design :: Netzmusik :: audio-visual compositions :: vj-performances Digital processing, alteration, linkage or process generation are topical parts of the work.
You may submit sound compositions, audio-visual compositions, performance applications (f.i. in the field of vj-ing), or applications with an open structure.
Your work focuses on the presentation on a monitor or a screen. The category subsumes alternative streams of narration such as graphics, video pieces and DVD productions from the fields of internet, design and film, and also software tools which go beyond the daily use of standard menu applications. Transcategorial projects are welcome and can be submitted. However, please choose a category according to the main focus of the project. | 2019-04-19T15:19:05 | http://www.neme.org/blog/cynetart-festival |

With a few new babies in the family and friends with babies on the way, I decided to make the time for a bit of Softie sewing in the middle of a busy week and lots of renovations.
I love this simple bear softie pattern I drew up a while ago - not too many limbs to sew in and rather quick and easy to make.
Softies are a lot like freshly baked goods around these parts - as soon as they're "out of the oven", they're gone! | 2019-04-25T02:52:58 | http://www.paisleyjade.com/2017/06/bear-softies.html |
With newer art galleries and an abundant pool of local artists, the small coastal town is thriving, particularly in the arts. Recently I photographed Periscope, a gallery inspired home goods store in downtown. Founded by partners Ariel Hall, formerly a NYC based artist and Jan Leth, also connected to the city as global creative director for a well known advertising firm. Their store reflects their history. Jan’s father was a Danish architect and Ariel originally from Maine, has the sensibility of an artist with understanding of place. You can see this the moment you walk in. Simple lines, strong form and function and an artistic flair is apparent in everything they sell. It’s truly a beautiful store. | 2019-04-22T09:01:02 | https://www.sarahbeardbuckley.com/periscope-shop/ |

Affordable homes in Terrace are getting more difficult to find as land and development costs continue to rise.
To support higher residential density, the city is encouraging developers to build homes on smaller lots to make better use of the land, lessen pressure on taxpayers, put more money back into the developers’ pockets and create more affordable housing options.
“Affordability is definitely a factor, the other balance to it from a municipal standpoint is it’s more efficient, more sustainable land use,” says David Block, city planner.
The push isn’t necessarily for smaller houses, but to build on smaller lots.
Though the minimum 15-metre width for single-residential developments has been set in the city’s zoning bylaws for the last 30 years, the average lot size in Terrace is between 18 to 20 metres, Block says.
The thought process of building residential homes on sprawling, larger properties was more attractive when land and development costs were low.
In 2008, new residential lots cost buyers $50,000, compared to $100,000 in Prince George. Ten years later, that cost has now more than doubled in Terrace to the $140,000 to $160,000 price range.
“Residential single-family lot prices are comparable to Prince George right now,” Block says, noting costs may be inflated because of the lack of residential lots currently on the market.
As demands increased, developers subdivided their larger lots and the city outlined plans for higher density developments in the city’s official community plan, phasing out their RR1 rural residential category to prevent sprawl.
The city says it’s now encouraging developers to stick with the minimum width requirements for lots to maximize the number of houses possible, but some development projects still prioritize yard space over density.
Driving down Cory Dr., there is a noticeable amount of space in between the new houses built on the bench used to create side yards that usually aren’t regularly used by the homeowners, Block says. Those lots could have been smaller, increasing the number of houses on the stretch of road and creating a larger tax base.
“You can put 40 lots on that block and still meet the minimum frontage rather than 30 lots on that block, and you will make more money because you’ll sell those lots, not for $150,000 [for 30 lots], but $135,000 for 40 lots,” he explained.
Block points to another example of this push for density when Wirtl Construction proposed for a 30-unit low-density subdivision to the east of Cory Dr. on McConnell. After some calculations, Block says owner Emil Wirtl was required to increase the number of units to 34, though there was room for more.
“He could meet our bylaw minimums and have 46 lots on that street,” he says.
Block says it makes more sense to build as many homes as possible on a piece of property, not only to sell more homes, but to create a larger tax base for future infrastructure upgrades.
“It’s around affordability of developing and passing that cost onto the buyer with the land value of that new lot, but it’s also affordability from a taxation side so we don’t have to raise the mill rates and charge residential tax rates incrementally as much if we get more efficient land use, more lots on the same amount of infrastructure, and the cost per taxpayer comes down,” he says.
Rick McDaniel, real estate agent with Re/Max, says there is a need for every type of housing in Terrace right now. He says he agrees with the city that creating more lots could help with immediate demand.
“I think it’s a good idea to make smaller lot sizes available in some areas for higher density, particularly if you’re talking about the five or 10 acres of land on the Bench,” he says.
Though McDaniel is cautious about the city’s push for density, and believes letting the market dictate demand usually results in a balanced mix of housing options anyway, he warns that subdividing too much can actually raise lot prices as the need for land grows. | 2019-04-19T12:58:48 | https://www.terracestandard.com/news/city-advocates-for-smaller-residential-lot-sizes/ |

Amazingly, half of all Americans say they don’t care about government surveillance — and during a random sampling of people on the streets of New York City not one could identify Edward Snowden, or what he did.
That’s despite an Academy Award winning documentary on his release of classified documents about the spying activities of a National Security Agency called Citizenfour.
The government is collecting data from you all the time. From your phone, computer, tablet, credit cards, travel records and more. We know they are doing this because of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
John Oliver traveled to Moscow where Snowden, wanted by the U.S government, has asylum for the next three years. There he interviewed Snowden in an attempt to find out why more Americans don’t care about the government spying on their personal lives.
Based on Snowden’s explanation of the government’s spying activities, here are five basic questions every American should ask themselves about the NSA surveillance program.
1. Do you want the government to collect your data (including your naked pictures)?
According to Oliver, Pew Research found that 46 percent of Americans say they don’t care about government surveillance. Why? It’s too complicated and technical to try to trace the life cycle of a text message. Hilariously Oliver tries to put the issue into terms Americans will care about — whether or not the government has access to your naked pictures. Once everyday folks heard the argument in those terms, they got interested in the debate pretty fast.
“I did this [released secret NSA spying information] to give the American people the chance to decide for themselves what kind of government they want to have,” Snowden tells Oliver.
Do you want a government that hoards your most scandalous communications?
2. Why did the government lie about its spying activity?
On June 1, 2015, key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire, including the controversial Section 215 provision, which has been interpreted by a FISA Court to mean that the government has the authority to collect comprehensive data on its citizens.
Prior to the Snowden revelations about programs like PRISM, American government officials — including President Obama — said the government was collecting only basic phone and internet records, like when a call was made and to whom (metadata), rather than the actual content of the conversation. Snowden proved that’s just not true.
The Snowden documents showed that the government was collecting and storing the content of Americans’ communications too, like emails, phone calls, internet searches and text and chat messages, rather than just basic call record information.
Worse yet, it’s not just being looked at; it’s being stored in monster government data centers in Utah, in case it needs to be looked at in the future. So if you want to play a semantics game, they aren’t actively looking at it, just saving a copy in case they need to later. Does that make you feel any better about it?
3. Can you trust the government with this kind of power?
Mobile phone data provides an incredibly detailed account of your life — your location, who you call, emails, text messages, internet searches, online shopping habits. Combine that level of detailed data contained in your credit card records, home and work emails and internet searches, and that’s a pretty freaky accurate representation of who you are, where you’ve been, with whom and what you were doing. But not totally accurate.
Your phone data might put you in a mall food court at the same time as a terrorist, but does that mean you’re a terrorist too? What if you just both happen to love Orange Julius and soft pretzels?
Now, imagine in the future the government charges you with a crime. Any crime, really. Doesn’t matter which. For belonging to the wrong religion. For being too friendly with someone the government doesn’t like. Happens all the time around the world. Rather than the government having to collect evidence about your crime to prove your guilt, it’ll already have a pile of information on you it can use however it chooses. No warrant. Nada.
We might be cool with all of this surveillance capability being used against the terrorists, but what if it’s turned on Americans one day?
So do you trust them?
4. How do we balance privacy and safety?
The Patriot Act was conceived amidst the fear following the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. But even one of the primary authors of the Patriot Act, Wisconsin Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, testified that the legislation was never intended to authorize the bulk collection and storage of the communications of U.S. citizens and that its powers should be reined in when the Patriot Act is reauthorized this summer.
Government officials argue that this kind of surveillance is critical for fighting terrorists and those who would do America and Americans harm. That sounds totally reasonable and fair. But with programs like PRISM and other surveillance activity Americans have no idea is going on, how can we have a debate and balance the idea of security against the idea of liberty?
How much privacy are we willing to give up for less security risk?
5. Are you on a watch list?
At the end of the interview, Snowden gives John Oliver a pretty ominous warning — that by interviewing him, Oliver is likely now on a very serious, very scary U.S. government watch list. The idea of a watch list is discussed in more frightening detail in the Academy Award-winning documentary about Snowden, Citizenfour.
Americans are put on watch lists all the time, which brings increased scrutiny of communications, increased surveillance and, when traveling out of the country, often problems getting your passport cleared across international borders without intense questioning. But how do you know if you’ve done something to raise the government’s suspicions about your activity? Am I on a watch list just for writing this article? Are you for reading it? How would we know? It’s a secret.
The principles of transparency and checks and balances the U.S. government is founded on demand that citizens be informed about these kinds of government activities. Whether you view Snowden as a hero or a traitor, as he says, now you know what your government is doing in our name. Do you care? Does it bother you? We should be allowed to have this debate and make an informed decision one way or the other.
In the meantime, John Oliver and his team of brillant writers have distilled the argument down to this: Do you want the government to have a picture of you naked? | 2019-04-26T14:04:05 | https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/1080342/questions-john-oliver-edward-snowden-want-you-to-ask-yourself/ |
We recreated and rebranded their old website to portray their new service offerings and also to build them an automated way for new prospects to book a demo for their software.
Their clients could also activate new services within their Spiralsoft dashboard and the whole service activation had to happen automatically, in other words, no manual set ups.
We funnel stacked two funnels for our client, but before stacking them we needed to build them.
Step 1: New prospect arrives on the clients website, prospect books a demo for the software online, by filling out their details on the form (Step 2), books the time and call for their demo (Step 3) right there and then they received an automated email confirming their booking (Step 4). This added the prospect to their email database which they could use to then nurture the client even further.
This was set up to be all automated, without our client lifting a finger.
The next funnel we stacked on top of the previously mentioned Book a Demo funnel is their Upgrade System Funnel.
Current Spiralsoft customers would receive an email (Step 1) to notify them of a new system upgrade they needed to book for their retail store's point of sale system.
Clients would be redirected to fill out the information for their branch (Step 2), then they would select the amount of devices that needed upgrading to allocate the correct time slot for their booking (Step 3).
From there, their upgraded client received an automated email confirming their booking. Spiralsoft received a confirmation too.
All automated, without our client lifting a finger.
We crafted a social media strategy for 3 months for our client, Spiralsoft, where we introduced their product and services to a wider audience. We introduced their team and made it easy for people to connect. We are currently in the build out phase for their new cloud based application which will entail a new social strategy.
Two new courses were created for our client to train their clients.
We developed and designed a Beginner Training Course as well as an Intermediate Training Course.
An Intermediate Training Manual was also developed, a full comprehensive guide to their software but trainees could also receive certification within their company to use the Spiralsoft Advantage Point of Sale system. | 2019-04-23T16:07:47 | https://mojomediaagency.com/spiralsoft |

A group called American Humane says a leaked video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage."
American Humane, the group responsible for overseeing animal safety on film sets, has cleared the movie “A Dog’s Purpose” of allegations of animal cruelty.
Controversy erupted after a behind-the-scenes clip, which appeared to show a German Shepherd forced into rushing water, leaked in January.
An independent, third-party investigation conducted by a respected animal cruelty expert into the treatment of animals in the filming of “A Dog’s Purpose” concluded that an edited video given to the gossip site TMZ mischaracterized the events on the set. The decisions by the individual or individuals who captured and deliberately edited the footage, and then waited longer than 15 months to release the manipulated video only days before the movie’s premiere, raise serious questions about their motives and ethics.
The video was “deliberately edited for the purpose of misleading the public and stoking outrage,” the company said, noting that the clip features two scenes that were filmed at different times.
The findings are consistent with what the film’s animal trainers said all along.
Despite the controversy (and some poor reviews) the film still managed to debut at No. 2 at the box office with $18.4 million in its opening weekend. | 2019-04-25T16:22:00 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/no-animals-were-harmed-on-a-dogs-purpose-according-to-american-humane_n_58960850e4b0c1284f263eb3 |
2010 marked the first time the majority of the world’s population was living in urban areas (52%), up from 47% in 2000. The global share of population living in urban areas is projected to increase to two-thirds by 2050.
In 1990, the nation’s population was heavily urban (78%). By 2010, more than four of every five U.S. residents was living in an urban area. In some states, such as California (95%) and New Jersey (94.7%), nearly all of the state’s population resides in urban areas.
North Carolina has a significantly smaller share of its population living in urban areas than the national average, but has increasingly urbanized over the past two decades. In 2010, two of every three North Carolina residents was living in an urban area, up from 60% in 2000.
Among North Carolina’s 100 counties, only 8 are as urbanized (or more) as the nation. Mecklenburg is the most urbanized county: 99% of Mecklenburg’s population lives in an urban area and 86% of the land area was classified as urban in 2010. Among the other 10 most urban counties in the state, only New Hanover, Wake, and Forsyth have more than half of their land area classified as urban.
In 2010, North Carolina had the second largest rural population (3.2 million) after Texas (3.8 million). Fourteen counties in the state have no urban areas at all. They contained 191,000 residents—2% of the state’s population—in 2010.
Nationwide, there are 486 urbanized areas and 3,087 urban clusters. The population classified as urban includes all individuals living in urbanized areas and urban clusters.

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA – 06/27/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Professor Dr. Geoffrey Edelsten, Ph.D.,M.B.A.,LLM.,M.Fam.Med., M.H.Sc(Occup Med, Health & Safety), M.Sc.,M.H.S.M.,M.Med(Sports Medicine), LL.B.Grad.,M.B.,B.S., Grad.Dip.Fam.Med.,A.C.C.A.M., C.E.C.F.M.G., S.F.C.D.A., A.A.I.C.D.,M.U.M.S., C.M.W.W.I.M., C.M.D.I.B medical entrepreneur who founded Allied Medical Group. Dr. Edelsten has been recognized as one of the most influential General Practitioners in Australia of all time. Dr. Edelsten has been selected as Top Medical Entrepreneur of the Year for 2017 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), for his outstanding leadership and dedication to the industry.
With over 4 decades of professional experience as an Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Record Producer, General Practitioner and Professional in the Medical and Healthcare industries, Dr. Edelsten has certainly proven himself as an accomplished professional and expert in many fields. As a dynamic results-driven leader, Dr. Edelsten has demonstrated success not only as a general practitioner but also as a successful entrepreneur who launched “Gene E”, a company offering paternity testing by mail order; he founded Allied Medical Group in 2005 and was also the first private franchisee of a major Australian Football Team, the Sydney Swans Football Club in 1985. By 2010 Allied Medical Group had administered over 27 medical centers and employed over 250 general practitioners. The clinics offered extended opening hours and bulk-billing for patients to Medicare for most services so that the patient incurred no direct cost. In 2011 Allied Medical Group was sold to Sonic Healthcare in a deal worth up to $200 million. In 2015 Dr. Edelsten was a contestant in the fourth season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia.
Dr. Edelsten graduated Mount Scopus Memorial College in 1960 and graduated with his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery Degree from the University of Melbourne. Before his graduation, Dr. Edelsten co-wrote the songs “I can’t stop loving you, baby” and “A woman of gradual decline” for the group the Last Straws. After graduation, Dr. Edelsten practiced as a resident medical officer at the Royal Melbourne Hospital before entering general practice. As a general practitioner, he worked in remote rural regions of New South Wales and Queensland where he bought his first private practice. Dr. Edelsten obtained a private pilot’s license in order to provide medical services to remote communities-often at no cost to patients when they could not pay. In 1971 Dr. Edelsten and a colleague, Tom Wenkart, launched Preventicare, a Sydney-based company providing diagnostic tests and computerized history-taking for doctors throughout Australia, using new equipment from the US which quickly took off. Dr. Edelsten and his colleagues established 8 practices in the Sydney area, and performed obstetrics at 3 Western Sydney hospitals. In 1984 Dr. Edelsten began to run innovative and multi-disciplinary 24 hour medical clinics which were the forerunners of modern corporate medical practices. These clinics were the first in Australia to bulk-bill patients to Medicare so that they incurred no direct cost. Within 4 months of opening, the first clinic had 2000 patients every week and Dr. Edelsten grew to owning 13 medical centers where 20,000 patients consulted 200 doctors every week.
Looking back, Dr. Edelsten attributes his success to his perseverance, learning from his mistakes he has made along the way and from never letting anyone discourage him from his goals. Dr. Edelsten feels this is just the beginning. When he is not working Dr. Edelsten enjoys music, travelling, flying, enjoying the arts and living life to its fullest.
For the future, Dr. Edelsten will continue to grow as an entrepreneur and hope to continue making a difference in people’s lives anyway that he can.

Sorry guys, looks like the links are not straight clicks, for some reason. You might have to copy the link into your browser address bar.
G'day all. Still struggling electrically with the back end of my car. Am on the hunt for a reverse light switch, for my 60 B. It is the one that screws in the side of my transmission. Have troubleshot, and discovered this bad boy is no good. I am unsure if the switch is the same as used on VW's of the era, or if I have to source overseas. If anyone has a local supplier, would love to hear about it. Thanks, Marc.
Thanks for the link, but this is just the standard "Euro" Light. The Australian/Italian one has the amber, and red parts of the lenses swapped around, with a dual filament socket for the red.
G'day from WA. I need some help or assistance in sourcing a pair of "Australian/Italian", tail lights. These are different to what was used everywhere else, due to the amber indicator being on the outside, and the dual filament globe on the inboard side. I've looked everywhere I can think of so any input on how to modify the existing lights or where I can get what I need, will be appreciated.

Nairobi Tented Camp is situated in the only wildlife park to be found next to a major city, and it offers something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world; a quintessential safari experience on the periphery of a modern metropolis. The camp consists of eight luxury en-suite tents, as well as elegant dining and living areas, comfortably nestled in a beautiful olive and the Croton forest in the Kisembe Valley. Being close to the wilderness and the city, the camp is truly one of a kind, an ideal location that offers something for everyone. They are eco-friendly, powered by solar energy and all waste disposals are done outside the park. Being close to the city, Nairobi Tented Camp is not only a fantastic stopover for people traveling through Nairobi on their way to and from safaris in the rest of the country or business men who would otherwise only see the gloomy gray of the inner city, but also as a tourism destination in itself. Nairobi Tented Camp also has the facilities to host small conferences and can sleep up to 16 delegates for business communication and team building exercises. For residents, it is the perfect weekend getaway. | 2019-04-26T06:57:26 | http://easygosafaris.com/nairobi-tented-camp/ |

Science and Technology Daily News (reporter Wu Jiashen): Recently, the reporter learned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance study group leaded by professor Xin Zhou from Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed China's first near-room temperature (40 degrees C) ultra-low-field NMR resonance spectrometer. The device not only can be used to study the molecular structure of the material information and dynamics in the earth's magnetic field and other natural conditions, but also to directly detect the ferromagnetic materials such as iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles samples which high-field NMR spectrometer can't. It is expected to play an important role in the fields of biology, medicine, etc.
Traditional NMR technology uses radio frequency induction coil to detect the magnetic resonance signal. In order to get higher signal sensitivity, almost commercial superconducting NMR spectrometer focuses on high magnetic field. However, the high magnetic field can't be used for the people with in vivo devices, such as pacemakers. Usually, the real environment of chemical sample and biological tissue is the magnetic field or less. The traditional NMR technology is difficult to obtain a usable magnetic resonance signal in this environment.
Dr. Guobin Liu of the group used high sensitive atomic magnetometer, which can use optical technology to detect NMR signal under very weak magnetic field, instead of traditional RF coil. Atomic magnetometers can work at the magnetic field without sacrificing sensitivity, and does not require cryogenic technology and high cost for running a superconducting high magnetic field. With this ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy based on the atomic magnetometers, the researchers detected the NMR signal (2Hz) of water at the magnetic field (47nT) which is 1,000 times weaker than the earth magnetic field. The field and resonance frequency lower 250 million times than the current mainstream commercial magnetic resonance spectroscopy instrument (such as a 500M Hz, 11.7T). In addition, the ultra-low-field NMR spectrometer can detect the relaxation rate of the contrast agent to enhance the water quality of the child, and achieve high accuracy.
Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has long-term research experience of developing magnetic resonance instrument technology. It has successfully developed with 300-500MHz high magnetic field NMR spectrometer independent intellectual property rights, ant it is ongoing industrialization. The success of ultra-low field NMR spectrometer fills the blank of our own research and development in ultra-low-field spectrometer. Relevant results of instrument development published in the recent issue of "Journal of Magnetic Resonance." The study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation and the 100-Talent program of Chinese Academy of Sciences. | 2019-04-22T10:28:00 | http://zhougroup.org/index.php?z=news&c=info&id=95 |

My wife would prefer I not go to a talk by someone who wrote so extensively about adultery.
If updike brought even a tenth of the genius to writing his lecture as he brought to the line ‘his hands were like wild birds’ we’d be in for a real treat.
Grease-gray and kind of coiled.
Also I think the whole Russell’s-paradox thing is getting old, and that keeping Updike in the game will make next round’s battle against Nietzsche more fun. And, one more thing: Updike’s got the basketball connection. Can you imagine Bertrand Russell playing hoops? I don’t think so.
Hey, how did Derrida even make it into the second round?? There must’ve been some mistake.
Derrida’s last victory was an aporia. It was also Derrida’s last victory. By which I mean it was a victory for his mechanical foot. But is it a vic(tory) or are we all vic(tims)? I could go on like this for another hour, which shows how masturbatory Derrida’s technique is. Not that I’m actually masturbating at the moment. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. Carlin, please.
Carlin. How many times as Derrida hosted Saturday Night Live?
When we read of Derrida’s death, my friends and I breathed a sigh of relief. When we heard of Carlin’s death four years later, we chatted about how he changed the way we thought about ourselves, each other, and the world. I suspect our reactions would be the same at the conclusion of each respective proposed seminar.
Andrew, salvage whoever you like from the previous eliminations. This round is irrelevant. | 2019-04-23T16:07:50 | https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2015/03/21/george-carlin-2-vs-jacques-derrida/ |
Everyone who has a business idea thinks it’s the best idea since sliced bread. And although that’s never the case, your business idea can take off and find success if you’re willing to take the right steps to make it happen. But what are those steps?
Below, you will find out everything you need to know about getting your business idea off the ground. Taking those first few steps and setting the right course is never easy. But rushing into it blindly is certainly not the answer. So, here are the steps you need to understand.
First of all, you’re going to need to do some research. It’s essential to know the market you’re about to be entering, as well as what the competition has to offer. If you storm in without knowing what it is you’re up against, you’re most likely going to come out of that particular battle worse. You will then have to set about putting plans in place to outsmart your competitors and their ideas. It’s not an easy task, but it’s one you’ll need to approach.
Talking to people who have been in your shoes before can be very helpful indeed. There are not many people better placed to offer you advice than other entrepreneurs who have been in a similar situation to you. They will be able to tell you thing you should do, as well as things you shouldn’t do. Learning from other people’s mistakes is always much wiser than trying to learn from your own.
In the world of business, money talks. You can’t really do anything or see your business idea take off if you don’t have the financial side of things straight. A great idea can only take you so far. Sooner or later, you’re going to have to finance that idea and come up with new plans. Covering your costs is an important part of that. If you need financing, you should be very clear about where this is going to come from as well.
The early success your business may experience can sometimes be illusory. It might look great now, but is it sustainable in the long-term? This is one of those uncomfortable things that you need to be thinking about as an entrepreneur. It might not be very nice to have to think about what could go wrong for the business in the future. But without a plan in place for long-term and sustainable growth, your company and its central idea could burn brightly at first, before burning out.
You want your business to get its message across to the right kinds of people, don’t you? Well, you need to make sure that you’re taking advantage of online advertising to the fullest possible extent. These days, it’s possible to target people in very specific ways. If you want your business to appeal to 18-24 year-olds living in one country, that’s easy. You can be even more precise than that thanks to Facebook ads. You can target people with particular traits and interests too.
As someone looking to start a business by yourself, you won’t have a whole lot to work with. However, one thing you do have is yourself. You should make use of your personality and personal brand. That way, you can make yourself the face of your business. People like businesses that are human, rather than the bland corporate ones we’re so used to. As well as that, it will give you an added dimension to advertising and marketing via interviews and things like that.
Business ideas always need time to flourish. Don’t be put off or discouraged if you don’t see the results you want right away. Persist and make use of the steps described above to watch your idea eventually take off. | 2019-04-22T16:33:24 | https://www.thebusinesswomanmedia.com/idea-take-off-steps/ |
Subordinated creditors in German insolvency plan proceedings—Vae Victis?
I t is the very nature of subordinated claims that they are treated less favorably than senior claims in an insolvency proceeding. However, foreign investors in particular may be unpleasantly surprised when learning their legal situation in German insolvency plan proceedings. The 2013 reform of the German Insolvency Code (Gesetz zur weiteren Erleichterung der Sanierung von Unternehmen, or ESUG) resulted in stronger rights for secured creditors and the management of insolvent companies under the German Insolvency Code (“Code”) while subordinated creditors have been disenfranchised and are now regularly cut off from legal remedies. Consequently, subordinated (bond) creditors are often entirely wiped out without efficient remedies to appeal such decisions as was the case in Pfleiderer and IVG Immobilien. The reason is that the Code allows for a full waiver of subordinated claims in insolvency plan proceedings. Investors should be aware of these risks before making an investment in subordinated debt. The following summary is intended to give investors a better understanding of the legal position associated with subordinated debt.
Market participants in Germany are influenced by English terminology and frequently use the terms senior, mezzanine and junior debt when describing the relative rank of priority of their claims. However, it should be noted that the Code does not recognize these terms and that they have to be “translated” into German statutory law. In a technical sense, the Code solely recognizes two groups of insolvency creditors: ordinary insolvency creditors pursuant to § 38 of the Code and subordinated creditors pursuant to § 39 of the Code. Pursuant to the Code, secured creditors like secured bank-loan lenders become ordinary insolvency creditors if the enforcement proceeds out of the collateral are not sufficient to pay back their claims. The Code defines this group as creditors with the right to separate satisfaction (Absonderungsberechtigte Gläubiger). Based on this distinction, secured creditors often wear two hats in insolvency plan proceedings: one of a secured creditor (to the extent that the insolvency plan changes the rights of the secured creditors) and one of an unsecured ordinary insolvency creditor (to the extent that realization of collateral is not sufficient). Coming back to the abovementioned priority of debt (senior, mezzanine and junior debt), it is, of course, possible under German law to contractually agree on this kind of distinction. As a consequence, it is a common market practice that facility and intercreditor agreements governed by German law also contractually provide for these or comparable creditor groups and respective waterfall provisions. However, every investor should be well aware that contractual waterfall provisions are not fully in line with the statutory concept provided by the Code. This being said, contractual provisions may supersede the Code concept inter partes, but German law principally and solely recognizes creditors as ordinary insolvency creditors and subordinated creditors.
The most frequent reasons for a creditor qualifying as a subordinated creditor pursuant to § 39 of the Code are (a) explicit agreements according to which the creditor agrees to the subordination of his or her claims concerning the respective borrower, and (b) circumstances in which a creditor is deemed to be a quasi-shareholder or “equitable/shareholder subordination.” Here, we will focus only on the first group. A contractual subordination of claims in the sense of § 39 subsection 2 of the Code requires an explicit agreement between the creditor and the debtor. To the extent that bilateral credit or bond documentation contains a subordination clause in case of an insolvency proceeding, the Code provides a rebuttable presumption that the subordinated creditor ranks junior to ordinary insolvency creditors as well as to the subordinated debt as mentioned in § 39 subsection 1 No. 1 through No. 5 of the Code. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) interest and penalties for late payment accruing on the claims of the ordinary insolvency creditors from the opening of the insolvency proceedings, (b) costs incurred by individual insolvency creditors due to their participation in the proceedings and (c) even claims for restitution of a loan replacing equity capital or claims resulting from legal transactions corresponding in economic terms to such a loan. In this respect, it is noteworthy that typical LMA-based intercreditor agreements, which are concluded solely between certain groups of creditors who agree on different layers of debt, are generally not sufficient to trigger a technical subordination of junior creditors in insolvency proceedings in the sense of § 39 subsection 2 of the Code as long as a respective provision clearly lays out the concept that the subordination shall only apply among the creditors themselves and shall not apply for the benefit of the debtor (for example, via a contract to the benefit of a third party).
Based on a general decision of the German legislator, subordinated creditors have only limited rights and protections under the Code. The reason is that subordinated creditors shall not be in a position to block or hinder insolvency proceedings in which not even the ordinary insolvency creditors get repaid in full.
(c) access the court file of the proceedings.
(e) be represented in the (preliminary) creditors’ committees.
In insolvency plan proceedings, the Code contains a provision (§ 225 subsection 1) according to which subordinated claims are fully waived under a plan unless the plan specifically provides for a distribution for subordinated claims (see below under lit. 4 and 6). Based on this waiver, no class of subordinated claims is even formed under the insolvency plan. And without being grouped into a class, subordinated creditors do not get to vote on the plan. In other words, the law provides a mechanism which deprives subordinated creditors of all their claims without having a say or legal remedies (for example, by rendering evidence that the company actually has a higher value than asserted by either the management or higher ranking creditor groups).
(a) § 238a of the Code provides for a voting right of the shareholders to the extent that the insolvency plan impairs their rights who need to be crammed down in case of a dissenting vote of such group, § 245 of the Code; The subordinated creditors are principally not granted a voting right even if they lose 100% of their claims.
(b) The cramdown provision in § 245 subsection 3 of the Code provides special protection for shareholders with respect to their reasonable participation in the economic value of the insolvent company. The Code does principally not contain a similar provision for the benefit of subordinated creditors.
The background for granting shareholders the aforementioned rights is that a debate has taken place about the potential infringement of Art. 14 of the German Constitution that addresses property and expropriation. However, this debate has solely taken place in connection with shareholders while it is not apparent why subordinated creditors are less worthy of protection—especially in the light of Art. 3 of the German Constitution that addresses equality before the law.
(c) neither equity nor creditors that are junior to the dissenting class receive economic value and (d) the majority of the voting classes vote to approve the plan.
(d) files an appeal within two weeks of plan confirmation.
For a subordinated creditor, it is almost impossible to meet these prerequisites, especially the test regarding the liquidation scenario. First of all, subordinated creditors need to render evidence that they would receive a quota on their claim in a liquidation scenario. In other words, they have to provide evidence that all senior creditors (namely claims against the insolvent estate or Masseforderungen) as well as ordinary insolvency claims would get repaid in full in case of an insolvency. However, this is very rarely the case since insolvent companies are usually over-indebted, meaning their assets do not cover their existing payment obligations. Secondly, the applicant must demonstrate that the situation is “significantly” inferior, thus even increasing the obstacles for a successful appeal and making it a blunt sword for subordinated creditors.
In the Code, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 enables the insolvency court to issue a request to subordinated creditors to file a proof of claim. Following this request, subordinated creditors have increased rights since they have, among other things, the right to (a) vote in the insolvency plan proceedings and (b) form a group under the plan and receive the benefit of the cramdown protection. However, the Code does not define the circumstances under which the insolvency court should issue a respective request to the subordinated creditors. The competent judge has to make an economic assessment whether there are enough assets in order to fully pay the claims against the insolvent estate and the ordinary insolvency creditors and whether excess assets will be available to at least partly satisfy subordinated creditors. Experience has shown that judges are not inclined to dig deep into these highly complex economic questions. In this context, the following should be considered: Insolvency proceedings are often opened not only due to illiquidity, but also due to over-indebtedness (in other words, the assets of the insolvent company are not sufficient to cover its ordinary debt). In order to assess the situation of over-indebtedness, the judge rarely makes his or her own independent decision, but usually relies on one or more valuations provided either by the debtor (and its advisors) itself (in case of debtor-inpossession proceedings) and/or the insolvency administrator/trustee.
All aforementioned parties are usually not incentivized to push through higher valuations for the assets of the company that might put them in a situation where there is a discrepancy of the assessed (higher) value and the actually realized (lower) proceeds. Moreover, the automatic waiver of subordinated debt is a very handsome tool for both the debtor and his or her ordinary creditors since it increases the value of the company and reduces the number of recipients of proceeds at the same time. Once insolvency proceedings (based on these valuations) are opened, it is more or less impossible to show that sufficient assets are available to also satisfy subordinated creditors since (a) the judge would have to admit that his or her initial decision was not correct, and (b) German insolvency law does not recognize the concept of a “battle of valuations.” Therefore, the likelihood that a request according to § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 of the Code based on an independent decision of the insolvency court is rather remote. The more likely scenario is that the insolvency administrator or the trustee (in case of debtor-in-possession proceedings) informs the insolvency court of the possibility for a distribution (like in the German Lehman Bank case), and the insolvency court issues the request on this information. Hence, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 of the Code does not provide a real angle for subordinated creditors. >> The German Insolvency Code does very little to support the legal position of subordinated creditors << In the Code, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 again comes into play via the exception of § 225 subsection 1 Code to the extent that the authors of the insolvency plan envision an independent group of subordinated creditors. If the insolvency plan foresees a special provision for subordinated creditors, for example, for tax reasons, the prerequisite for such a group formation is again the request of the insolvency court to the subordinated creditors to file a proof of claim. In such a scenario, it is again either the insolvent company (in case of debtor-in-possession proceedings) or the insolvency administrator who makes the respective request to the insolvency court. This being said, the subordinated creditors themselves again are not independently in a position to facilitate such a request, but need the support of either the insolvency company, the insolvency administrator or other groups of creditors. It may be the case that such support can be secured, for example, in cases in which subordinated creditors are willing to invest new funds in the insolvent company. In principal, however, ordinary creditors or the insolvent company itself are not incentivized to support the subordinated creditors. This is due to the fact that either proceeds would have to be shared or a debt burden would remain, which would otherwise be fully waived. As such, the avenues of escape are extremely narrow if at all existent.
The above has shown that the Code in its current version not only does very little to support the legal position of subordinated creditors, but makes the life of such creditors extremely cumbersome. A direct comparison with shareholders shows structural disadvantages that can hardly be justified. While criticism in this respect was already voiced directly after the implementation of the 2013 reform, the legislator should immediately (de lege ferenda) implement safeguards for the benefit of subordinated creditors to abolish the currently existing disadvantages and to ensure the necessary fundamental rights. Otherwise, the German marketplace runs the risk of subordinated (bond) debt no longer being available as a refinancing instrument. Investors will not be silently led to the slaughter. | 2019-04-21T02:36:22 | https://www.businesslaw-magazine.com/2015/03/30/life-can-be-cumbersome/ |
In the last few years, Khloe Kardashian has undergone a dramatic body transformation. Anyone who follows her on social media knows the woman puts in hours at the gym, sweating it out.
On Friday, she had a bit of an epiphany after taking a selfie in the mirror, which revealed her incredibly toned abs.
"My fitness journey will be a life long journey. Fitness is not about being better than someone else… It's about being better than you used to be. I'm not where I want to be and who knows if I ever will be," she captioned the photo she shared on Instagram. "But I am healthier than ever and due to my consistent workouts, I am slowly seeing results. Hi baby abs 🙋!! I see you!!! I hope to meet your other ab friends soon 😝 (yes I'm talking to my muscles. I've never met most of them before)."
"Looking back at pictures of myself I didn't realize at the time how unhealthy my lifestyle actually was. People love to call me the fat one but as weird as it sounds I still don't think I would consider myself fat back then. Definitely overweight and unhealthy, yes. About two years ago I decided to turn to fitness as a form of therapy and as a stress reliever. I started slow and eventually I started working out 4 to 5 days a week," she wrote in the photo's caption.
She added, "We all have to start somewhere and doing something is better than nothing at all. Start small so you don't get discouraged and give up. Remember it is all about consistency. There are no quick fixes if you want long-term results. Working out is a huge part of my life now. I genuinely enjoy sweating out my frustrations and living a healthier life. My workouts are not all about vanity. They are about clarity for my mind and soul. We all have different journeys in life, make sure your journey is for you and you alone. Remember in the end the turtle won the race. Slow and steady. dedication and tenacity."

"Our SAN infrastructure is an open book - easy to read, but next to impossible to duplicate," says Jason Silverglate, CEO and chief architect of the company's storage solution. Silverglate says that his SAN was designed to deliver industry-leading performance with a high-level of reliability. The SAN's design includes redundant head nodes with redundant 10Gbps cards and redundant SAS 6Gbps wide internal SAS paths. The end result is two highly capable volumes that can achieve extremely high read and write speeds.
Jason remarks, "on Volume 1 we are able to achieve 1600MB/s read and 1300MB/s write. Mind you, Volume1 is our low performance Volume... Volume 2, which is our SSD volume can achieve 250,000 IOPS and can easily max out a few 10Gbps circuits."
That speed makes all the difference when it comes to cloud purposed storage and that is what Jason and his team are counting on. Earlier this year, DedicatedNOW partnered with OnApp to launch a managed private cloud solution. The DedicatedNOW private cloud solution allows customers to configure and deploy scalable, redundant hypervisors onto the SAN, connected through a redundant switch stack via multiple gigabit connections both to the Internet and The Company's own internal SAN network.
DedicatedNOW, provides managed dedicated servers and complex hosting solutions to customers in nearly 100 countries. More information about DedicatedNOW's private cloud and SAN technology is available on their website at http://cloud.dedicatednow.com.
For the past seven years, Jason and his team have been building and maintaining complex dedicated server environments for ecommerce companies. "We've learned allot about supporting and maintaining clusters and load balanced setups during that time," says Silverglate. "For starters, scalability is a problem with physical clusters. You can't expand resources at a moment's notice. Servers need to be brought down for upgrades, planning needs to go into making these kinds of changes." With the expansion of cloud technology, many of the constraints within the physical world are done away with.
Jason and his team have been developing their cloud technology for the past two years from the Company's New Jersey based datacenter. A cornerstone of that development has been improving on some of the downfalls of complex hosting. Jason commented on the benefits of the shift to virtualization, "when we move a complex setup to a virtual environment, we lose those physical constraints. We can scale horizontally and vertically and for less money".
Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of OnApp, has worked with FortressITX throughout the development of their cloud. Bredahl remarks, "I'm impressed by the significant investments Fortress has made into their SAN infrastructure. When speaking with our own clients, I often recommend that they take a look at the storage technology that Jason and FortressITX have designed, before investing in their own." Silverglate claims that the Company's SAN storage is capable of performance that most never thought possible in a virtualized environment, due to its unique architecture.
Jason will be presenting his ideas on virtualization at the OnApp booth (#313) on Tuesday, Aug. 9th at 11:45AM and again on Wednesday, Aug. 10th at 12:45PM.

While DedicatedNOW's commitment to excellence within the managed dedicated server niche has brought them notoriety and awards in recent years, the company will be breaking ground on its cloud hosting offering later this year.

The site's content went viral and Chris learned how traffic can crash a server. "It was at that point that I knew I needed something more substantial behind my website," says Chris. "PopThatZit.com was going to be featured on the Tyra Banks show and I knew that would bring in the traffic, big time. I needed a dedicated server and after sifting through available providers, decided to move my sites over to DedicatedNOW, a managed dedicated server provider."
Azzari continues, "the biggest thing about having your own dedicated server is that you can do a lot of tweaks that you could never do on a shared hosting plan. I run Wordpress on the site and decided to run w3 supercache after high recommendations from some friends. Getting it to work right was beyond my scope of expertise. I needed to install memcached and I wasn't about to mess that up. A simple email to the server support team and they had me up and running. The site was lighting fast and ready for traffic."
"Just knowing that the site that you have spent countless hours creating and promoting is in good hands is worth its wait in gold. Remember, your website is your business, so you need to protect that business, and it starts with where it is hosted."
PopThatZit.com is the original website by zit poppers, for zit poppers. The site's outrageous material gained a cult following on day 1. With nearly 2000 videos of every kind of pimple, boil and pustule imaginable, Chris Azzari's creation was featured on the Tyra Banks show in 2009.

He added that by offering cutting edge technologies, industry-leading customer service and comprehensive dedicated web server solutions, DedicatedNow has become a front-runner in the global managed hosting market.
"The success of DedicatedNOW's 100% uptime in 2009 is due to our investment in data center infrastructure, engineering support, and backbone providers," said Josh Ewin, Director of Sales and Marketing at DedicatedNOW. "Our multi-homed network is fueled by premium tier 1 carriers such as Sprint, Saavis, Telia, NLayer, Global Crossing, and Level3."
Additionally, DedicatedNOW uses redundant power systems including an inline power backup, using industry standard Liebert UPS systems and onsite Caterpillar generators. "Our facility is safeguarded by redundant Libert CRAC units that are kept at an optimal temperature to ensure hardware and network components are consistently running properly," said Jason Silverglate, CEO. "And our cooling systems offer an accurate and reliable control of humidity, airflow, and room temperature that improves the working conditions for delicate electronic equipment."
"DedicatedNOW's network runs on our own dark fiber ring connecting our two redundant pops in 111 8th NYC and 165 Halsey (Equinix) NJ," said Silverglate.

The veteran hosting company is no stranger to the managed hosting market. With the launch of its all-Intel managed server line in 2008, DedicatedNOW gained notoriety for its managed services. Over the course of the past two years, the Company has earned many awards, including FindMyHost.com's "Editor's Choice" Award for Managed Hosting.
According to CEO Jason Silverglate, "when we created our managed server line, we canvassed our client base and industry professionals to get a real sense of what our clients and prospective clients would need for a complete managed dedicated server package. By leveraging vendor relationships, we were able to offer better service, more features and a better overall value proposition to our hosting customers".
The relationships Silverglate is referring to include R1Soft and Applicure Technologies among others. "Bundling in services like R1's backup and Applicure's dotDefender WAF product made our offering much more enticing to prospective clients," boasts Silveglate. The Company includes 50Gb of backup using R1Soft's CDP (continuous data protection) which, as Jason points out, includes the MySQL hot restore feature - very useful if you have a database driven website. Also included (on servers with the cPanel control panel) with each managed server, is a fully licensed version of the dotDefender Web Application Firewall. Other freebies include KVM over IP, round the clock monitoring and the Company's 100% Uptime guarantee.
The Company's new managed server line provides a wide-range of servers and includes many options and available features. "With our new server line, we wanted to make DedicatedNOW's server management accessible to smaller companies and startups while still being a viable option for performance-focused enterprises", noted Silverglate. With the launch of the new product line, DedicatedNOW reduced the price of its entry-level servers, while adding in the Xeon 5620 and X5650 CPU options, which include eight and twelve CPU cores, respectively.
DedicatedNOW's new managed server lineup is available for purchase from the company's website. For more information, please visit www.dedicatednow.com.
"We have a broad range of specials that DedicatedDollars.com affiliates can use to attract new customers to DedicatedNOW," says Josh Ewin, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Thousands of businesses, organizations, and resellers use dedicated server hosting so we make sure we have very attractive offers available for affiliates to use that result in higher conversions."
Since registration for DedicatedDollars.com began last November, DedicatedNOW has experienced a 30% larger response from affiliate marketers than originally estimated. One reason for the increase in response is due to the extensive support DedicatedDollars.com affiliates receive in their efforts to attract visitors and make conversions.
"DedicatedDollars.com is a full service affiliate program, with keyword tools, custom landing pages and ads, and resources for beginner through advanced affiliate marketers," says Ewin. "Our marketers are not left stranded on their own - another big problem with some affiliate programs is identifying which affiliate marketer sent a visitor to the site and initiated that sale. DedicatedDollars.com uses 120-day cookies as well as IP-based tracking to make sure every marketer gets properly credited and paid."
Another reason for the high registration and satisfaction of DedicatedDollars.com affiliates is the unrestricted payment structure. There is no limit on earnings, like there is with some other programs in the dedicated hosting industry. Affiliates can also choose from a variety of available payment options, including Paypal.
"Our affiliates are important to us, and we want to make the relationship as beneficial to both sides as possible," says Ewin. "Affiliates can earn up to 125% of a sale, and receive an instant commission alerts right to their desktop. We have put a lot of time, resources, and well-planned development into this program to make it the best affiliate program in the industry ."

The previous DedicatedNOW.com website was launched back in July of 2008, along with the Company's new Managed hosting products and services.

In addition to the new look and products, DedicatedNOW also launched out their proprietary billing system with the July release.
"We released the last website on the opening day of HostingCon '08. The new website was massively instrumental in pushing the Managed product line," mentions Josh Ewin, VP of Sales & Marketing.
Ewin continues, "The new DedicatedNOW look didn't include just the website. We wanted a total facelift for the brand. All of our creative was updated to the new look and feel of the DedicatedNOW brand."
While the release of the latest version of the DedicatedNOW website does not treat visitors to a new look and feel, it provides superior functionality and performance.
"The new DedicatedNOW website is focused on usability and accessibility across all major operating systems and browsers, as well as meeting the Web Accessibility Initiative and Section 508 of the Federal Government's guidelines for creating accessible websites" says SEO analyst and consultant to DedicatedNOW, Franki Nguyen of TN3 Productions in Australia.

With the removal of functionally superfluous items like flash and some scripting, the DedicatedNOW team has seen substantial gains in productivity from the website. As dedicatednow.com is constantly in flux, much like the Internet itself, the Company is constantly updating instructional content, photos and products on the website.
DedicatedNOW plans the release of several new hosting products and services during the second quarter this year and will use the dedicatednow.com web presence as a platform to introduce them to the market.

Please select a ticket, but hope that it works.
AGGRIEVED passengers are emerging winners in challenges to fines handed out by Yarra Trams ticket inspectors.
The company withdrew almost a third of 10,609 fines contested by passengers in the year to February.
The Public Transport Users Association said yesterday many people never challenged fines because they felt they had little hope of winning.
"Who knows how many people never bothered to write in and contest a fine because they didn't think it was worth it," association president Daniel Bowen said.
When tram passengers are given an infringement notice by an inspector, it is ultimately passed to the Department of Infrastructure, which decides whether a fine will be imposed.
"The percentage of infringement notices contested by letter has fallen in recent years," a department spokesman said.
"The overwhelming majority of public transport patrons do the right thing and pay the appropriate fare for their journey."
Of 65,587 tickets issued to tram travellers in the year to February, 10,609 were con- tested, with 3382 ultimately withdrawn, most with a warning issued.
Only 213 travellers got off without even a warning notice.
Of all those fined on trams last year for not having a valid ticket, only 346 people went to court to fight.
The department would not say how many people who contested fines in court were successful, but sources in the department said that last year not one court challenge to a ticket had been successful.
Across the entire transport network, 162,733 fines were issued for ticket and behavioural offences in the year to February.
This was a substantial increase on recent years. In 2005, around 125,000 fines were issued for fare evasion.
"We know that fare evasion continues to be a major problem, so I'm not surprised there are so many fines across a year," Mr Bowen said.
Metlink head Bernie Carolan said the thousands of warnings sent out to those passengers that had challenged tickets did not mean that ticket inspectors had made a mistake.
"We hope that the recipients of such warnings still learn from the experience," Mr Carolan said. | 2019-04-20T00:21:43 | http://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=706.0 |
Longtime South Plains College Athletic Director Joe Tubb recently was honored at Texan Dome in recognition of his induction into the Western Junior College Athletic Conference Hall of Fame.
He as presented with a plaque during halftime of the men’s basketball game against Howard College on Feb. 8.
Tubb served as the athletic director at SPC for 33 years before he retired in 2015.
During those 33 years, Tubb had overseen 42 NJCAA Championships in men’s and women’s track and field, cross country, half-marathon, and men’s basketball. Under Tubb’s direction, the Texans and the Lady Texans basketball teams have claimed a combined 15 WJCAC championships and five tournament titles. The college has also hosted 14 National Junior College Athletic Association championship events under Tubb, such as the 2016 Outdoor Track and Field National Championship meet, in which the Texans made collegiate history by capturing their 10th consecutive Outdoor national championship.
At SPC, Tubb was in charge of supervising all sports programs and coordinating activities designed to promote athletics at the college. Tubb was also responsible for events hosted by the college at the Texan Dome, including both intramural and recreational programs at SPC and Texas High School University Interscholastic League (UIL) events.
Tubb also served a three-year term as president of the NJCAA, where he was responsible for presiding over annual executive and special meetings for the nation’s second largest intercollegiate athletic association.
Tubb was instrumental in the growth of two-year collegiate athletics during his time at SPC. He received the highest honor bestowed by the National Alliance of Two-Year Collegiate Athletic Administrators, the L. William Miller Award. He was also named Athletic Director of the Year by the National Association of College Athletic Directors.
Tubb said he misses his time at SPC and all he did while here.

The Janadirya National Women Development Foundation had made us aware of the following two schools in the Hambantota district in Southern Sri Lanka. We met the principal and teachers of these two schools, and they introduced specifically those children to us, whose lives were changed forever by the tsunami.
Many of the breadwinners of families who live further inland had made the journey to the markets in the coastal cities on December 26, 2004, which was a Sunday and a holiday, and they were surprised and killed by the tsunami, leaving their broken families without income.
We decided to support these children and their families individually, as well as the needs of their schools, i.e. schoolbooks, school uniforms, water supply, since they were poor and under equipped already before the tsunami. | 2019-04-26T08:31:11 | https://www.realmedicinefoundation.org/our-work/countries/sri-lanka/initiatives/pallemalala-vidyalaya-school/ |
Checking up on the hybrid front, I found that the Acura ILX hybrid for 2014 is finally on sale, as of Tuesday, and an Accord hybrid, which I didn’t even know about, goes on sale at the end of this month. Unfortunately, Honda’s main vehicle Web sites didn’t tell me that — I had to dig through press releases. (This underscores the incompetence of automaker management; can you think of a technology company that would put a product on sale before their Web site had any information about it?) Hyundai is still running behind on nearly their whole lineup, including the Sonata hybrid.
Meanwhile, I’m still thinking about that 370Z that I’m probably not going to buy. I wasted a couple of hours searching on Nissan’s (awful) Web site to see which dealers actually had the model I was interested in; there are four dealers that have them, all in red and black, none with autobox, so there’s no chance I’ll end up test-driving one (unless there’s someone in New Hampshire or Rhode Island that has one). I might go find the nearest 6MT, which is in Stoneham, just to see if I can even fit in the thing, and maybe talk to a salesperson about why they’re so limited around here. Note to automakers: don’t make me select each one of thirty different dealers to find out that they don’t have what I’m interested in, just tell me which f’ing dealer does, and how far away they are.

About three years ago we launched a new website with a new logo. At The/Studio we are never satisfied and always striving to become better, so we decided to improve our logo more than a year ago.
Although our websites is definitely one of the better sites for custom products, we don’t judge ourselves based on other companies within the industry, but rather we judge ourselves against amazing brands that we aspire to one day be compared to such as Nike, or Starbucks. In early January we decided to redo our website and we decided to work with a designer that we had worked with in the past.
However, the project was a complete disaster. The designer just couldn’t get a design together that would make it worth the effort of redoing the entire website again. We have been through website redesigns before, and it is an extremely involved process that requires an enormous amount of resources.
We decided to start looking for another design firm. My assistant and me literally emailed and spoke to over one hundred different design firms. What we realized was that not only did we need to redo our website, but we really needed to redo our entire branding. If we wanted our customers, other companies and the media to truly respect who we were and the ambitions of our company, we felt that it was important to refresh our entire branding.
We went through the same process of pouring over hundreds of branding and design firms, and we had another epiphany. It was also necessary that we actually work with all of the managers in the company and decide who we were, who we have become and what we want to be. We felt that without this document it would be very difficult for us to effectively work with a design company. This is what we came up with.
Our brand is our promise to our customers and also defines the expectations that we have for our staff and vendors. Our brand will not be strong unless the entire organization understands and embraces these principles.
In addition we see this initial document as an opportunity to remake ourselves and insist on perfection throughout the organization.
We are focused on creating a complete platform that allows customers to produce fashion quality custom apparel and accessories. We put all of our resources into building a community of people with ideas, designers to design, factories to bring to life those ideas, our staff to ensure a frictionless process and the support of consumers that believe the world is made more interesting when ideas are turned into products.
The/Studio is revolutionizing how people design, manufacture, and sell custom apparel and accessories. Fashion will no longer be dictated by large corporations in distant board rooms. We believe that fashion should represent the pure expression of the communities that you belong to. The/Studio will continuously build tools to empower communities to make custom apparel and accessories that inspire them.
We won‘t rest until individuals can create an entire line of apparel, fire departments can reinvent their uniforms, sports teams can create custom gifts for their fans, companies and organizations can communicate their image. All achievable through The/Studio’s ever-growing infrastructure of world-class designers, cutting edge production machines, and game-changing community sales platforms.
Currently if someone wants to make a truly custom product there are numerous barriers to doing this.
One option is to go to a site such as CafePress or Zazzle. But they don’t offer true customization, and the quality is inferior. They only offer printing on already manufactured products.
Another option is to use Alibaba, but Alibaba is notorious for having a very poor user interface, and even if you can get an answer from the factory its almost impossible to produce small quantities, and good communication is lacking at best.
Also when dealing with factories from abroad there are true risks of poor quality and sometimes outright fraud.
The other option is to find smaller US companies that produce particular products such as custom caps. They also tend to have higher minimum order requirements, their user experience is not good, and they only offer one or a few products instead of an entire platform to produce apparel and accessories.
If the customer is not a designer or doesn’t have access to a designer, then they can’t even participate in the ability to make a product.
Our solution is to gain a loyal and expanding group of customers that want to make custom products and provide them with a user friendly platform to create these products. The manufacturers we work with generally won’t agree to do small orders, but because our platform is efficient and we can provide them with consistent business, they are able to profitably build out production lines to produce highly customized orders.
Because of technology the trends in both China and the US point towards factories becoming smaller and more nimble which benefits our model.
There is a trend towards consumers moving away from mass manufactured products made by large brands. We will create a community that helps individuals and businesses easily make products, while at the same time creating an online space for consumers interested in these products.
Our dream is for anyone in the world to be able to produce and design fashion quality custom apparel and accessories and eventually other products using their computer, or phone. If someone has an idea and the desire to be successful we will have the resources in place to make their project successful. Currently we are only able to manufacture products that are simple, but we will expand our offerings to be able to support complex products. We want to also build out online and offline communities that will give our customers the ability to sell their products as soon as they are produced, and to also open channels to larger retailers and boutiques where our customers can also sell their products.
An extensive custom product line that covers virtually all apparel and accessory products.
A group of high quality 3rd party designers that can make a living on our site.
Pop up stores or perhaps even permanent stores in the US or Asia that showcase products made within our community.
A household name amongst fashion designers.
Our shopping site will become a destination for people to find unique products.
World class ERP and CRM system that handles every aspect of the production process.
-We have a dedicated technical team updating our T/S system on a weekly basis. Our ultimate goal is to make a seamless process for custom manufacturing.
-The goal is to make custom manufacturing as easy as an Amazon transaction. However, when we fall short of that expectation we have a knowledgeable and helpful sales and customer service team which our customers can rely on when there are issues. We realize that no matter how optimized our systems are, sometimes there are problems with manufacturing and we are always there to help.
-One of the pillars of our community is creating a market for our customer’s products whether it be through crowd sourcing tools to help them better distribute their products, or through online shopping portals, pop up stores and permanent stores that we will use to help them promote their products.
-We stand behind our products. We will do unlimited design and sample revisions free of charge until the customer is satisfied. Furthermore, if the product does not match the quality of the original sample that was approved we will redo the order free of charge or offer a full refund.
-We truly care about small businesses, entrepreneurs and small organizations. We go out of our way to think of ways to benefit our customers, even if we don’t make money on the project or even lose money on the project. At our heart we are also a small business, and come form very humble roots and we will never forget that.
Partner: To all people with great ideas, we are here to help you create your own identity. We solve every barrier to making a successful custom product, from helping our customer with the design, manufacturing and distribution of the product. If there are ever any issues we have a dedicated team to solve any issue during the process. In fact every customer will receive an email from the CEO, President, Senior Project Manager and Operations Director ensuring that their order is going smoothly.
Efficient: The/Studio system can make your purchasing experience easy and efficient.
Trustworthy: We promise that all our products meet the “fashion quality” standards. If customers are not 100% satisfied, we redo it for free and offer a full refund if needed.
Revolutionary: We want to change the world of custom manufacturing. We want to take the power away from large corporations and completely change how individuals and organizations design, produce and sell apparel and accessories.
Fashionable: Everything that we do whether it be the design of our website, our email signature or the quality of our product, we try to maintain an awareness of design and fashion. We are that weird person sitting at a restaurant, that captivates everyone through their expressions and dress.
Entrepreneurial: we encourage individuals to establish their own brand by offering them necessary resources in custom manufacturing.
Make the impossible possible: This is the spirit that we admire and we hope everyone in our organization develop this trait.
American: Most people associate manufacturing with Asia. Although we do a lot of our manufacturing in Asia, we also do some in the United States. Furthermore, we infuse our systems, processes and partners with American values of transparency, reliability, honesty, good quality, at an affordable price.
We want the conversation with our customer to create the feeling that we are having a conversation with a long term partner. Always extremely helpful and supportive, professional but not too formal.
Our target market is anyone that believes they have an idea for a product that other people would enjoy receiving or buying.
Based on this we made a decision that we would subtly focus on Indie fashion brands. First we believe that if our branding is good enough for a fashion designer, and our product good enough for a fashion brand, then it will be good enough for everyone. Secondly we believe that whether they are a fashion brand or not, they are still making a fashion item. A police officer ordering a patch for her police department is not ordering a patch, she is ordering something for her entire unit to wear with pride; this is fashion.
Another market that we target are small businesses and entrepreneurs. We hope that our platform inspires them to create and enables their success.
A full 61% of our current customers are between the age of 18 to 34, which is the most connected and tech savvy group of consumers. The next largest segment is 35 to 44 which makes up another 15.5% of our customer base. Totally 76.5% of our customers are from highly technically savvy generations. We believe that our emphasis on simplicity and efficiency will play well with this demographic.
45% of our customers are women and 55% are men. Therefore we believe its in our best interests to remain gender neutral in our voice.
We are an American owned and registered S Corporation. Although we have offices in Asia, and Europe we derive most of our corporate culture from our American roots.
This includes a balance between design and efficiency.
A focus on hard work and measuring staff based on performance.
Having an extremely customer focused culture to a fault.
A celebration of the entrepreneur and the person that wants to be individualistic and do something different.
American values of transparency, trust, and commitment.
The/Studio operates in the United States, Philippines, China and Romania. We truly believe that all people and cultures can contribute amazing things to our company and to the world. Anyone in the company can become an executive manager regardless of nationality, gender or religion. Their ability to work with others, perform and execute the companies vision will define their success in our organization.
Over 80% of our staff members are of Asian descent. We don’t look at Asia as a place for cheap labor. We look at Asia as the most vibrant and dynamic economy in the world today, and we are honored to be a part of this transformation. Our goal is to develop leaders of all nationalities to unify around the goal of democratizing custom manufacturing.
We also have not forgotten our American roots. The US is still our largest market and in terms of dollars spent we spend the most amount of money with American suppliers. We will also be strengthening our Made in America product offerings.
The/Studio is a global company. We will go anywhere where there is a market, or production infrastructure, and we will set up offices anywhere where we think we can hire talent that will help us pursue our mission statement.
At The/Studio we truly want to change the way fashion is manufactured.
We believe in the doctrine of 1% better everyday. We are constantly having discussions about how we can improve.
We try to do everything with perfection.
We truly believe in a true meritocracy. All managers including the CEO , Operations Director, President and CTO sit with the entire team in an open space. This may seem superficial but the idea is that everyone in the organization is equal, just with different roles and levels of responsibility.
Literally 50% of our managers are women and our management team is mixed amongst people from different countries, and religions. We don’t do this deliberately. We just try to hire the best people, and let them succeed and that just means we naturally have a very diverse office.
Most of our staff has the opportunity to earn bonuses which incentivizes them to make the correct and quick decisions for our clients.
We are working on a pilot program in our Shenzhen office to share some of the profit with the production manager. We feel that eventually this pilot program will help us to rapidly scale our company by giving more control to managers.
We have discussed launching a program to allow staff that has been with the company for 5 or more years to present a business plan to upper management, work with them on improving their business plan, and even offering funding if the business model is solid.
We are also having discussions amongst upper managers to at least think about moving outside of big city centers to provide a more relaxed environment for our team and lower real estate prices will allow home ownership to be easier.
All staff in the company is encouraged to question its leaders. The only thing that is sacred is trying to make custom design and manufacturing simple. Anything that gets in the way of this should be challenged.
We have flexible working environments. Around 10% of our workforce works remotely from home, and the emphasis is less on punctuality rather than on accomplishing goals.
In the future we would also like to be more active in planning team building events.

The/Studio was founded in 2006 by Joseph Heller in his loft apartment, in Shenzhen, China. He would work at night to interface with customers in the United States, and sleep upstairs during the day, while his secretary would work downstairs during the day to deal with factories. Joseph graduated from UC Berkeley and came to China in 2005 to teach English. He stumbled across the opportunity to sell embroidered patches and started The/Studio.
The/Studio’s competitors treated the embroidered patch market as a commodity and their bland websites reflected this approach. Joseph saw each embroidered patch as an expression, and a tapestry of modern day history. The/Studio became a rebel in this sleepy industry by taking an approach of making demands on the factory based on customer requirements rather than accepting the rigid industry standards that were put in place for decades.
Previously minimum orders were as high as 1,000 pieces, and there were a lot of other rules in place for how a patch had to be produced and the materials used to produce a patch. Joseph only had 20 orders per month in the beginning, and he demanded that any factory that wanted to work with The/Studio had to accept orders as low as 1 piece, and had to produce the patch exactly the way the customer wanted it, with the material the customer wanted. Joseph was even kicked out of one factory for his audacious demands. Dozens of factories told Joseph that they wouldn’t produce one patch, but Joseph was convinced that if the customer wanted it the factories should produce it.
The factories said they could only offer a few different options for patches. The/Studio launched dozens of new special options to decorate our patches, and promised our customers, that if they imagined something, The/Studio would figure out a way to create it.Everyone was managing orders through emails, spreadsheets and other rudimentary and outdated technology. The/Studio was the first company in our industry to create a CRM/ERP system that would manage the entire process. When we entered the industry the standard turnaround time for a patch was 6 to 8 weeks. We have now reduced that turnaround time to 4 to 21 days.
The/Studio eventually became the largest supplier of custom embroidered patches, and finally we decided that we wanted to take our methodology of low minimums, quick turnaround time, unlimited special options and an optimized ordering process to other custom products.We first built a new and improved CRM/ERP system that we affectionately call The/Studio Factory Cloud.
This would allow us to scale the business and maintain the same level of consistency and speed across all of our product categories. Even after we launched The/Studio Factory Cloud, which is superior to what any of our competitors have, we continued to get customer and employee feedback on how to improve the system, and we make weekly updates.
In 2014 we launched our second product which was custom woven labels, and we later launched custom challenge coins. Starting in 2015 The/Studio will launch a total of 18 new products, and we will launch a total of 72 different custom products in 2016.
The first and only product that we produced for the first 8 years of our existence was custom embroidered patches. It is significant that The/Studio’s first product was not printed promotional products or custom printed t-shirts, because these products are not truly manufactured products. Embroidered patches are products that are manufactured from scratch.
Our roots are in manufacturing, which means that instead of looking at limitations, we only see an opportunity to create something truly unique and beautiful. | 2019-04-22T06:43:06 | https://www.thestudio.com/blog/rebranding-of-thestudio/ |

As we get Peru Unplugged up and running, I am really looking forward to sharing regularly about alpacas. The 20/20 alpaca will be the primary premise of my alpaca blog posts. 20/20 is simply a metaphor for what we might achieve.
I first met this remarkable man in the early 1990s when I was president of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA). I was interested in creating contacts with Peruvian alpaca breeders and textile manufacturers, I decided to correspond with the International Alpaca Association (IAA) headquartered in Arequipa.
Not many months later, before it was even legal to export alpacas from Peru, I accepted the IAA’s invitation to visit and made the first of many trips in 1991. One of the first questions I asked upon arrival in Peru was, “Who is the greatest alpaca breeder in Peru?” “Don Julio Barreda,” everyone replied without hesitation. I asked my hosts if they might introduce me to Don Julio. They agreed and invited him to a dinner party in Arequipa.
The day before the dinner, I got my first glimpse of Barreda’s alpacas at Grupo Inca’s farm Sallalli, which at that time was located near the Colca Valley. The farm had just purchased 24 machos from Barreda’s farm, Accoyo. They were larger than any alpacas I had ever seen. Their fleece quality was so striking that I remember thinking they must be a different breed than the ones I had at home, which I had imported from Chile.
At dinner, I finally had the opportunity to speak directly with Don Julio. We began the first of many conversation about Don Julio’s passion for alpaca breeding, and by the end of the evening, Don Julio agreed to visit my ranch in Oregon the following July.
I know that you, my fellow breeders from North America, can walk with longer, quicker steps and will, with the aid of the science that is available here, create a type of alpaca to your own liking. Allow me to say this – It would be ideal that my experiences, although maybe a bit old-fashioned, could facilitate the progress that you foresee and maybe, thanks to an honest collaboration, we could make the alpaca an animal known and respected in each household of your great nation. | 2019-04-21T13:13:33 | https://www.quechuabenefit.org/alpacas/don-julios-2020-vision/ |
Erin Baldassari, writing for the Mercury News, reports that Jonathan Bernbaum was 34 when he died in the Ghost Ship fire. Jonathan’s father, Ed, is trying to do his part to answer the need for spaces for artists by starting an ambitious effort with neighbor Beth Jay and architect Tom Dolan. The nonprofit, named Vital Arts, will raise funds from the Bay Area’s tech sector to support safe living/work spaces for artists in Oakland—because, after all, it is largely the tech sector that has driven rents up so high that most local artists can no longer afford them.
The money will be used to purchase buildings for living and working in or provide safety enhancements to landlords that agree to maintain buildings as rental spaces for low- and moderate-income artists.
The wildly innovative and resourceful San Francisco-based Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), which NPQ has previously covered, will act as a fiscal sponsor for Vital Arts. CAST has a remarkable track record in helping to retain and create arts facilities in combination with local established arts nonprofits but some of the groups in Oakland are a newish proposition.
CAST recently began working with the city of Oakland to develop a program to provide technical and financial assistance for arts and cultural organizations. Many of those organizations are informal art collectives that often operate as de facto nonprofits, Levin said, prompting CAST to become increasingly focused on supporting these sometimes amorphous groups.
There is no doubt that live/work spaces have been endangered since the fire. One collective of artists and performers, known as the Castle von Trapp, will imminently lose its West Oakland compound after the cost and logistical challenges of making a bid on the property proved too challenging for the collective. Still, the collective plans to move forward together.
Eventually, Dolan envisions a network of collectives that can share resources and knowledge, beginning in Oakland and spreading across the bay to San Francisco with Vital Arts ultimately serving as a model for collectives across the country.
Since 1969, the Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia has provided a home for groundbreaking artists of every stripe. But can it remain relevant in the city’s arts scene without a building to its name? | 2019-04-25T13:56:01 | https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2017/06/21/father-ghost-ship-fire-victim-makes-artist-livework-buildings-mission/ |

Is it legal to restrict food-sharing?
The food-sharing in downtown Orlando went on as usual last Wednesday night, despite the decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld the city’s ordinance restricting groups and individuals from sharing food with homeless and hungry people in public parks.
The court also ruled that the ordinance does not violate the right to free exercise of religion by the First Vagabonds Church of God, a ministry by and for the homeless. The ordinance applies to about 40 of Orlando’s 99 parks, and limits food-sharing events to two per park per year.
In the wake of the court decision: What’s next?
That’s because even then, in the summer of 2006, we were thinking about the big picture. What the First Vagabonds Church of God v. City of Orlando lawsuit accomplished was to bring the discussion of homelessness and poverty out into the open in Orlando, in a way that it never has before. Making sure that discussion continues is vitally important, and that will be an important consideration in deciding what the next steps will be.
There are several legal options, such as seeking a rehearing before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. We have a few more days to decide exactly what to do.
Many people have asked why we didn’t pursue a freedom of assembly claim. At the beginning of the case, we did assert that the ordinance violated the right to freedom of assembly. But the trial judge ruled for the city on that claim, determining that the members of Food Not Bombs and their homeless friends are free to assemble in the park so long as they do not serve food.
There also are options outside the courtroom. Perhaps the most important is making sure the food-sharings continue, as they have every Wednesday evening for more than five years.
Moving to outside the restricted zone (a 2-mile radius of City Hall) is being discussed. While there are good reasons for staying at Lake Eola Park, the members of Orlando Food Not Bombs are concerned about the impact of increased police scrutiny on the homeless and hungry folks they are helping. Many of the people who come to eat a healthy vegan meal have outstanding warrants or other issues with law enforcement. In past, attendance has been low when police are present at the food-sharing.
Lake Eola Park – often described as the “crown jewel” of Orlando’s 99 parks – was chosen for its symbolic value in conveying a message to the upper-middle class folks who live and work in what is often described as a gentrified area of downtown. In many ways, that message has been delivered.
Continuing the public discussion of homelessness and poverty may be the most important item on our “to do” list. Food Not Bombs will be meeting with other groups that have been using the park for sharing food, looking at the big picture and planning ways to build stronger community and political will to reduce homelessness and poverty.
So there’s a lot of work still to do. The food-sharings will continue and we will be working toward some larger goals, too.
The silver lining here may be that the continued sense of injustice in the wake of the 11th Circuit’s decision just may help us accomplish our larger goals. | 2019-04-24T16:54:40 | http://nationalhomeless.org/legal-restrict-food-sharing/ |

My list of projects isn't really shrinking, but it's moving along steadily. I thought I'd share a few bits and pieces of things I've been doing.
Character Collabs are popping up all over on Twitter, and my friend Katy organized one for the new(ish) cartoon, Steven Universe. The whole thing will be coming together towards the end of July, but if you check the tag #SUCollab, you can see a few of the pieces that have been completed. I illustrated Amethyst! She's my favorite!
"The Clearing" is coming along–the inks are in progress. This is it. This is the part where I can break out the brushes and create some panels that I'm really proud of.

Peace Corps Online: Dr. Douglas recently returned from a Peace Corps 30th Reunion in Belize.
Dr. Douglas recently returned from a Peace Corps 30th Reunion in Belize.
Peace Corps Online: Directory: Belize: Peace Corps Belize : Peace Corps in Belize: Dr. Douglas recently returned from a Peace Corps 30th Reunion in Belize.
What's it like to step back in time? To visit a place where you had lived 30 years ago? A place far from home, a different culture, a different climate, different standards of living. Ask Dr. Ruth Douglas, division chair and science faculty member at Piedmont Virginia Community College.
Dr. Douglas recently returned from a Peace Corps 30th Reunion in Belize. Now, this is not the Belize that 21st Century Americans typically think of: no resorts, posh hotels, and luxurious properties. She visited Belize City where she lived 30 years ago with no hot water, and running water only when the city water supply had sufficiently high pressure.
Douglas joined the Peace Corps in 1968, only seven years after the first group of volunteers ventured out to serve. "It was something which I always wanted to do," she said. Sent to serve as a science teacher, Douglas already had teaching experience when she joined the Peace Corps, having served as a teaching assistant in graduate school, a high school teacher, and an instructor in a community college.
Preparation for Douglas' group of Peace Corps volunteers began in Philadelphia with two weeks of introductory training. The volunteers were then sent for two months' training in Trinidad Island, selected because of its similarity in climate and culture to the Eastern Caribbean where they were bound. At this stage of the process, the volunteers received teaching training, cross-cultural training, and practice teaching experience. Upon arrival in the host country, they received two weeks of in-country training in the northern part of Belize. Although the country is English speaking, Spanish instruction was also provided. The volunteers were now ready to serve.
Armed with this preparation, Douglas embarked on her Peace Corps teaching career at Belize Teachers College. "'College' there was not what it is here," Douglas hastily cautioned. At the time, there were two tracks in the Belizean educational system for teachers: after eighth grade, students either became apprentice pupil teachers, or they went on to complete high school and were then channeled into the college for further training.
Living Conditions Since Peace Corps volunteers strive to become assimilated into the communities they serve, they live right in the cities or towns in which they work. Douglas shared an apartment in a house in what she called "a quite poor part of town" during her tenure. "It was noisy, hot, and had no grass," she said. The kitchen had a refrigerator and a three-burner propane gas stove, and there was running water only when the water pressure was sufficient. They got drinking water out of rain vats, so always had to boil the water before use.
"We couldn't eat anything that wasn't peeled or cooked," she stated. "And we couldn't use ice from unknown sources in case it had not been made with filtered water." Meat was available locally, although it sometimes contained bone chips. "We ate more meat than most Belizeans." One irony which Douglas marvels at even today was that despite the fact that fresh produce was plentiful, frozen vegetables from the United States were available, although they were very expensive.
Mobility and communication were difficult in Belize at the time as well. Teaching volunteers got around by bicycle and communication was particularly difficult since phones were not readily available. So if you wanted to make a call to the states, you had to physically go to the local telephone company to place the call. "It was very difficult to get messages to anyone," she said. "If you needed to get word out, people would carry notes between villages if they happened to be going your way." And the local radio station had an hour set aside twice a day to announce messages. "We were very isolated from our friends and family, and largely from one another," she observed.
Upon completion of her two years' service, Douglas returned to the U.S to face the tumultuous events of 1970. "We came back to the turmoil of the Vietnam War, racial tensions, and the turbulence of the women's movement. The level of tension in the country was shocking," she said. "While in Belize, we had kept in touch with what was going on in the states by reading the weekly New York Times summary, but that did not prepare us for what we encountered on our return. Coming back was a hell of a shock; the level of anger was hard to deal with," she concluded.
30 Years Later Things today have improved markedly for both the United States and Belize; the dichotomy between then and now is striking. And today things are far different for Peace Corps volunteers, whom Douglas had an opportunity to meet while in Belize this summer. Telephone service is much better, computers and e-mail are now available, and volunteers can even visit the states, provided they pay their own transportation. "It's a global village now," Douglas observed, "It's not as isolated as it was when I was there."
Douglas said that the cultural changes throughout Belize today were "gratifying" to see. The water supply and sanitation systems are much better; the buildings are in better condition, and are more modern. And people's health and living standards have improved significantly over the past 30 years.
"One of the things we learned as Peace Corps volunteers was from being teased by the local people as being 'rich Americans.'" Douglas said. "It struck me, even then, that we are rich beyond the dreams of most of the other people in this world. When we are serving as volunteers, we like to think that we are living on the level of the host country, but in reality we could have hopped a plane and left at any time, whereas the Belizeans could not. We had a lot of support available, such as health care, etc., even medivac, if necessary, that separated us from the local people, even though we were striving to become assimilated into the country and culture."
"One of the lessons we learned 30 years ago is how fortunate we are to live in America. You see your country a little differently. You appreciate all that you have. It's interesting being abroad, but I like being an American," she concluded.
These are great stories. They are also a reminder of the service PCV's do by writing stories for local newspapers. | 2019-04-23T22:28:20 | http://peacecorpsonline.org/messages/messages/467/1010357.html |

Paul Rodgers’ fans always want to hear his musical catalog and he delivered during his concert in Niagara Falls. A resume that includes a stint with Queen, founding member of Free, Bad Company, The Law and The Firm. Paul Rodgers, a musical innovator who has successfully reinvented himself over the course of a five-decade career. A powerhouse blues vocalist, hit songwriter and a frontman/showman helped redefine rock ‘n’ roll in the process.
The Royal Sessions is his most recent release, which is a throwback of old-school blues\recording that finds Rodgers belting out tunes of the deep South soul and R&B tunes of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Blues legends such as Albert King, Muddy Waters, Dionne Warwick, Issac Hayes and Otis Redding.
The concert started with Wishing Well and it hit it’s stride when Rodgers did an amazing version of Albert King’s “Born Under A Bad Side” He didn’t miss a note and it sounds like Rodgers’ voice hasn’t deteriorated after years of singing. Another highlight was doing The Firm’s “Radio Active” It was great to hear Rodgers tell a story of Jimmy Page when they were in The Firm. The encore was a fans delight as the crowd were on their feet for “Bad Company” and the finale was Free-“Alright Now” One thing you can say about Paul Rodgers is: “He’s Fan Friendly” He mingled with the crowd, shook hands, signed autographs and gave high fives to the fans. It was great to see a musician still passionate about his craft and love his fans. Hopefully Bad Company will tour again with Paul Rodgers and if possible maybe reunite with Jimmy Page for The Firm. | 2019-04-25T11:49:56 | https://bkonthescene.com/2015/08/31/paul-rodgersfallsviews-avalon-ballroom-theatresat-aug-29th2015/ |

Ramon isn't currently collecting unemployment benefits. Ann didn't see Murph anymore. Did you leave a tip? Duane smells horrible. Do we need more inflation? Look out for my friend Rolfe. Abel was killed by Cain. I refused her invitation to dinner. I thought Thomas would get fired. Were you the one who advised Al to go to the police?

A swine sees no sky. Success is never blamed. Angela begged me to help him. What is all that? Sit down for a second. Why am I up? I'll buy that back from you if that's what you want. Caroline became calm. I went for a swim. Don't tell me what I'm supposed to do.
Making model spaceships is interesting. Anton picked up takeout on his way home. One of my six Facebook accounts was suspended. Aaron opened the door and turned on the light. This dress shrank, and what's more it faded. Chuck tore up the letter he got from Sigurd. I think we were lied to. Don't you have a driver's license? Alberto asked the DJ for a slow song.

We're chopping off their head. You should learn Esperanto. Whatever! Knapper couldn't completely rule out the possibility that he might be laid off from work. You have to pay taxes. I went to elementary school in Nagoya. Sherri ambushed a policeman and killed him with an ax. I sometimes get scared. He is still angry with you for your conduct. I had to tell him about us.
Your plan sounds great. What a bad film! Who's your favorite horror movie character? I hope you can still look at yourself in the mirror my friend. Juan is in great shape. You can have it for nothing. She went with him. It's not safe at night around here. They say Pontus did it. The leaves blew off.

I told you I needed some air. Many of the students were tired. I did everything in my power to protect her from you. It will never happen again. You'd be stupid to trust him. Who's had enough? Bill used to mow lawns as a part time job. Who should we give it to? I'm not asking for money. It is time to empty the garbage.
He has got it. I want to eat Chinese food. Would you accept a Brazilian coffee? She was very surprised at the sight. We're always learning. There's no leash law here.

With Joker's release on the horizon, I felt like it would be a great time to re-post my dream track list for Persona (assuming that Nintendo/Sakurai would be limited to anything between P3 to PQ2).
At least throw in a SMT medley or some subway/underground district themes for Mementos.
I'm hoping they changed his idle animation to be his stealth stance, but I doubt it.
Not really related, but what do people want Joker’s alt colors to be?
Different coloured gloves and that's it.
Funny thing is that some of this stuff would easily fly under the radar for those who never played the games if it wasn't for people shouting "OMG THERE ARE SPOILERS!"
That's really the case for all of the "spoilers" brought up in this discussion, even the potential Persona 5 spoilers the stage would contain if that leak was real.
Angling the knife like he does in Smash just seems... awkward and impractical.
My post was an earnest question, not a callout. I don't care what stage they go with because it won't be the casino.
Not really related, but what do people want Joker’s alt colors to be? My two ideas were colors corresponding to the different Phantom Thieves, or palettes that reference other Persona protagonists. The possibility of the “Jane” datamine does throw a wrench in that though. It’ll be interesting to see!
Generally assume it'll be the other Phantom Thieves, but I'd enjoy a couple related to previous Jokers in Persona, like P2's. If the Jane thing pans out, fingers crossed for a Maya color. Also really hope that the music he brings isn't just P5, but across all SMT. The series has so many good tunes that restricting it to one game, or even just modern 3-5 Persona would be a disservice.
I'm surprised that no one has tried making a fake leak with all of the debug info seen on the Ken screenshot leak. Seems like an obvious way to try and make your fake look more valid.
The teaser was billed as "Super Smash Bros. X Persona 5" much like "Super Smash Bros. X Final Fantasy VII" so I don't have high hopes for non-P5 content.
Yeah, it's the most likely scenario even if it's the most disappointing one. However, I highly doubt Atlus is as protective of its music as Square is and the press release posted by Nintendo alongside Joker's reveal specifically called out the SMT series as a whole, so fingers crossed I guess.
edit: Speaking of which, if Jack Frost is part of Joker's moveset I really hope there's a pallete that makes Jack look Virtual Boy inspired.
Bayo is listed as Bayonetta 2 on the website, so there’s hope.
I'm assuming it's to make him more different than he would be, or perhaps he uses the knife backhand in the anime. It could also be related to one of the new games, or "Jane".
EDIT: I mean reverse grip.
Yeah the stance is weird, especially when he never ever holds his knife backwards in P5.
I'm not talking about website listings.
Bayonetta didn't even get one in her trailer.
Maybe his hand is upside down.
I like how they didn't specify Street Fighter II but excluded everything else anyway.
I'm hoping for school clothes and/or casual clothes. I played most of Persona 5 wearing those outfits instead of the phantom thief outfit. Joker looks cool in glasses!
Will be a shame when I inevitably can't Smash as Santa.
Maybe he'll get this as an alt colour. Just won't have the hat.
Exclude Morgana and Futaba and that leaves enough boy thieves and girl thieves for Jack and Jane to reference.
There's a 100% chance that Joker's trailer will feature a quick clip of him and Richter adjusting their gloves together, right?
Sakurai has been spoiling plot twists with every smash game. Mecha Fiora is in Shulk’s FS.
And Sheik in Melee. I don't think they really care.
Based on color scheme and my P5 party, I want Yusuke and Haru alts. Makoto was my other, but less interesting color-wise.
Remember when sakurai made a post brawl blog post explaining the plot of subspace.
Nintendo being all innovative again. Having story based DLC before they even had DLC!!!
Then it wouldn't be nearly as funny.
Do people still complain about online?
I can’t even remember the last time I got in a match that wasn’t my preferred rules, or at least either battlefield or FD.
At this point, I see the 3.0 update just dropping with little fanfare. One where you'll just have to try out the new stuff yourself instead of having it all shown to you. They really blew it by having absolutely nothing meaningful to say about the 3.0 update or Joker since the last big update.
I got a Little Mac on Pac-Land with items in Elite Smash.
I get my fair share of item matches and non-BF/FD still.
You guys buckle way too easily. They teased more info in the February Direct and said “before the end of April.” There’s also the Persona concert that we might have to wait to see Jane first revealed.
Nintendo knows people go nuts for Smash info, they aren’t gonna undersell it. Sakurai spent 20 minutes talking about menus and languages but isn’t going to talk about Persona content or Stage Builder?
I was there then pointed in this direction so guess I'm here now.
But it wouldn't fix the fact that it's laggy nonsense most of the time.
I guess I’m just lucky. I never get matches with bad rule sets.
That leak’s interesting. Hope that it’s right about franchise elements being included in stage builder. Each major franchise as its own palette a la Mario Maker?
They really do need to have a way to share stages online though, it would be a weird downgrade from Wii U. And I’m also hoping for a Mii costume set that includes some of my favorites from Smash 4 like Geno and Protoman.
He’ll have at least one color based on Crow if nothing else. I’m confidant of that. I would love full alts just because there are some great choices.
Other than getting a Smash ball battle today I’ve gotten my preferences nearly every time.
Is that Ren as Kiryu?
The dancing game had a few crossover costumes. | 2019-04-20T16:33:08 | https://www.resetera.com/threads/super-smash-bros-ultimate-downloadable-contents-discussion-thread-the-wild-ride-is-still-on.91979/page-276 |

After the media caught wind of the poll, it suspiciously disappeared from the group’s website.
New polling data from a Pro-Trump organization reveals that the Trump administration’s anti-marijuana policies are widely opposed by voters. Most, according to the data, believe that individual states should be given the freedom to determine their own marijuana policies.
This poll was conducted by America First Policies, a non-profit organization that openly exists to financially support Trump’s platform. The organization does this by taking advantage of a controversial Supreme Court ruling—widely referred to as “Citizens United“—which allows corporations to funnel massive amounts of money into politics.
America First Policies hired pollsters to examine policies that are popular and unpopular with both Democratic and Republican voters. These polls include everything from voters’ opinions on the Trump administration’s reaction to the controversial book “Fire and Fury” to support for building the President’s proposed border wall between Mexico and the U.S.
The existence of this recent polling memo was first uncovered by CNBC. After the news contacted America First Policies about it, the organization removed the results from their website. However, Marijuana Moment obtained the organization’s recent polling memo. The poll found that 53% of respondents oppose the Department of Justice instructing U.S. Attorneys to interfere with state-legal cannabusinesses. These results were based on the polling of 1,200 voters.
Supporters cheer as US President Donald Trump travels through West Palm Beach, Florida, on December 10, 2017.
“By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, voters believe states should be allowed to individually determine whether or not to legalize marijuana (60%), over the federal government determining the legality (31%),” the memo reportedly reads.
The America First Policies poll found bi-partisan support for individual states’ autonomy in deciding their own marijuana laws, with slightly higher support from Democrats than Republicans. A past survey from the same group found even more support for marijuana policies among voters.
If you combine the poll’s findings about the percentage of voters who believe “marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational purposes” (43%) and those who believe marijuana should be legal for medical purposes, but not recreational purposes (39%), the result is a whopping 82% of voters who believe in some form of legalization. By contrast, only 13% of respondents supported marijuana prohibition. | 2019-04-25T06:25:10 | https://herb.co/news/legalization/america-first-policies-poll-marijuana-legalization-sessions/ |

The UN has declared that asylum is an inalienable human right, and most countries offer it. The principle is that nations should safeguard people who face persecution or danger when their countries can not or do not want to protect them. There have long been debates about who deserves the sanctuary, but today discord is going deeper. In the wake of violence in the Middle East and Afghanistan and parts of Africa and Central America, the number of asylum seekers has risen to record levels. While most of them are hosted by neighboring countries, a crackdown on refugees in the United States and Europe is raising doubts that support for the asylum concept can survive.
The total number of refugees has increased steadily since 2012, to 19.9 million by the middle of 2018, fueling the antipathy towards strangers in some host countries. Of the 1.9 million new refugee status applicants in 2017, the United States had the largest number – 332,000, with 43% coming from Central America, where gang violence has become widespread. US President Donald Trump has joined his offer to suppress immigration with an effort to radically remodel the nation's asylum system. It has banned entry to citizens of six countries, five of them mostly Muslims, and has reduced the number of refugees who can be admitted to the United States to 30,000, a historical minimum. His administration has excluded asylum for people fleeing domestic violence and gangs, and for those who have illegally crossed the US border with Mexico. It imposed a policy of detaining anyone who was illegally caught while crossing the border, including those seeking refugee status. The parents were separated from their children, causing a public protest that led Trump to back down. In October, Trump threatened to cut foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in retaliation for a so-called caravan of migrants traveling through Mexico to the United States. In the European Union, the resentment for the influx of refugees has led leaders to consider creating holding centers, probably in Africa, to manage asylum seekers. Officials have discouraged groups from saving such people in the Mediterranean Sea. Hungary, led by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has made it a crime to help migrants seek asylum.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees affirms that the concept of asylum is one of the "first distinctive signs of civilization", citing references to it in texts of 3,500 years. The word derives from the ancient Greek word for freedom from seizure. A 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol are the modern legal framework for asylum, which defines refugees as persons who can prove to be persecuted at home on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political conviction or social group. Agreements in Europe, Africa and South America have broadened the definition by including those fleeing generalized violence. Among today's refugees, Syrians are the largest group. They are fleeing a civil war, like the Afghans and South Sudanese who make up the closest groups. Among the victims of the persecution there are Christians who escape forced conversion to Islam in the Arab countries and Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group in Myanmar fleeing the abuse of their fellow countrymen. Asylum applications worldwide amounted to 1.9 million in 2017. The United States presented the largest number of new applicants, with 43% coming from Central America. In 2017, around 732,500 asylum applications were accepted, and a little more – 754,100 – were rejected globally. Asylum was used as a political tool, as when Americans welcomed Cubans and Vietnamese who sought refuge from communism. Requests for safe haven by gay, bisexual and transgender people have increased in recent years.
Attacks in Europe and the United States by assassins linked or inspired by foreign jihadist groups have generated the fear that future terrorists will hide among those who seek refuge. Critics of pro-asylum policies also fear that the hiring of refugees can lead to higher rates of crime and unemployment. Trump administration officials have claimed that the asylum system is abused by scammers. Other critics of the asylum assessments in the United States say that they are so arbitrary that they amount to "refugee roulette". This has promoted the development of a cottage-like industry to provide refuge seekers with compelling personal stories that may be exaggerated or false. Defenders of the control process say it is rigorous, even if no system is infallible. Asylum advocates stress the universal obligation to protect the vulnerable and observe that many of the people that nationalists like Trump would keep out were fleeing terrorism. The debate on asylum in the United States and Europe can overshadow the fact that the burden of hosting refugees around the world lies more with the poorer countries closer to major conflicts, such as Turkey, Pakistan and Uganda. . | 2019-04-23T10:56:35 | https://www.archynewsy.com/refugees-and-asylum-the-washington-post/ |
For decades Fernández had been recognized and honored for his accomplishments in the world of music. But up until October 11, 1991, no one had ever declared that as a singer, Fernández was on equal footing with perhaps the greatest singer in American pop history.
In a career spanning five decades, Fernández has been awarded every honor and accolade in the entertainment world and beyond. He has won Grammys and Premio Lo Nuestro awards. He’s regularly topped the charts in Billboard and has been recognized with lifetime achievement awards, hall of fame honors and even a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
With his trademark charro outfit, wide sombrero and impeccable backing mariachi ensemble, he has performed on the world’s biggest and most prestigious stages. He has headlined Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional and the Plaza de Toros Mexico to New York City’s Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall.
Many considered Fernández to be Mexico’s fourth gallo, or singing rooster.
The other three are considered the greatest all-time singers in Mexico. But they all died young – Jorge Negrete at 42 in 1953, Pedro Infante at 39 in 1957 and Javier Solis at 34 in 1966. It was into this profound artistic void that Fernández stepped in 1966.
For more than 40 years, Vicente Fernández has maintained his standing as Mexico’s greatest living singer, coupling an operatic range with a deep understanding of ranchera music’s rural roots. Through the years he inspired hundreds of imitators, but none could ever match his operatic power and range. In the dozens of Mexican movies he starred in, Fernández often played a role that suited him perfectly-that of the proud charro, or Mexican cowboy.
As a world-class singer, Fernández always combines impeccable musicianship, provocative songs and his great vocals to deliver unforgettable performances. He was and continues to be prolific, influential, and ultimately a critical player responsible for shaping the growth and development of the modern ranchera genre. For his artistic integrity, his tireless dedication, and unending enthusiasm, Fernández will be noted in history books as one of the fundamental and influential pioneers of ranchera music and a towering figure in the evolution of Regional Mexican music.
His towering discography comprises over 100 albums. He’s influential in the way that he’s shaped the growth and development of ranchera music. Through the hundreds of songs that feature his voice, Fernández is certain to be the associated of Mexican pride and artistry around the world.
He entered a singing contest in Guadalajara when he was 14, and won first place. That win gave him the confidence to start performing in restaurants and weddings.
In early 1963, his mother, Paula Gómez de Fernández, died of cancer at the age of 47. Later that year, on December 27, he married María del Refugio “Cuquita” Abarca Villaseñor, his neighbor in Guadalajara. The couple would go on to have four children: Vicente, Gerardo, Alejandro and Alejandra.
Working to further his career, Fernández, then 24, was tapped as vocalist by two of Guadalajara’s best mariachis – Mariachi Amanecer de Pepe Mendoza and Mariachi de José Luís Aguilar. Through his work with these groups, he was introduced to Felipe Arriaga. During that time he performed regularly on the mariachi-themed radio program titled Amanecer Tapatío (Guadalajara Morning). Soon, Arriaga and other influential friends convinced him to move to Mexico City, Mexico’s political, business and cultural capital.
By late 1965, Fernández was pitching himself to the major labels based in the city. He was always turned down, but he began hanging around CBS Studios in hopes of landing an audition. Eventually Fernández got his foot in the door at XEX, the clear-channel AM powerhouse known as the most listened-to radio station in Mexico. XEX exposed him to a nationwide audience.
Not content to just make records and perform live, Fernández also branched out into movies. His first film was Uno y Medio Contra el Mundo. Three years later, he had his first hit starring role in La Ley del Monte. The movie’s title song was also a hit for Fernández. Among his successful albums of the early 1970s were El Rey, El Hijo del Pueblo, and Para Recordar. He was building a body of work that would showcase his expressive voice and define modern mariachi music.
By 1975, Fernández was admired by mariachi fans, but he wasn’t yet an iconic figure. But that was soon to change. In 1976, the composer Fernando Z. Maldonado wrote a different kind of ranchera. A ranchera about a macho guy who accepts his guilt in a failed relationship. It was a new theme, and it struck a nerve: “Volver, Volver” became a ranchera anthem. An incorrigible ladies’ man, Fernández personified the protagonist of the song. It was a magical combination of music, lyrics and voice. By the end of 1976, “Volver, Volver” had broken sales records and was being played from cars, houses and jukeboxes all over the Spanish-speaking world. Finally, Fernández was unquestionably an international star.
Between recording and touring Fernández carved out a place for his family. In 1980 he built a 1,250-acre ranch near Guadalajara, called Los Tres Potrillos (The Three Fillys) in honor of his three sons. Surrounded by an irrigation canal, the ranch has the feeling of a cocoon.
Entering his fourth decade of recording, in the 1990s, Fernández continued to add to his canon of classics with hits like “Aunque me Duela el Alma” (1995), “Me Voy a Quitar de En Medio” (1998), and “La Mentira” (1998), the theme song of the popular ranch-centered telenovela. He garnered a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into Billboard’s Hall of Fame.
On September 17, 2002, he was named Person of the Year by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the producers of the Latin Grammys. The honor paid tribute to his artistic achievements and his support of the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund. Never forgetting his humble roots, Fernández also remembers his fans who live in small towns and isolated areas of Mexico, performing free shows at country fairs.
As a singer, Vicente Fernández is at the top of his game. The proof is in his recent achievements, which more typically resemble those of a young, rising star than someone who’s been recording and touring for over 40 years.
In 2006, after three years away from the recording studio, Vicente Fernández released his comeback album La Tragedia Del Vaquero (The Tragedy of the Cowboy), featuring 14 brand-new songs. A keepsake and instant classic in the mariachi music canon.
Also in 2006, in preparation for Vicente Fernández’s 40th anniversary as a recording artist – Sony Music released a three-CD collection of his greatest hits, titled The Living Legend (‘La Leyenda Viviente’). Containing 35 classics, along with the new song “Me Quedan Todas,” this collectors’ ítem was avidly sought out by fans in the U.S. and Mexico. Regional Mexican and Latin pop radio, meanwhile, sent “Me Quedan Todas” to the top of the airplay charts.
For 2007, his official 40th-anniversary year, El Rey embarked on one of the biggest Latin-music tours in U.S. history. And he returned with another exciting new studio album – Para Siempre, which within three months of its release was certified RIAA Double Platinum (Latin) in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The album’s first single “Éstos Celos” spent over three months at No. 1 on the principal Regional Mexican airplay charts. The song finished the year as the most-played Regional Mexican song of 2007 in the U.S., while Para Siempre received a nomination for Best Ranchera Album at the 2008 Grammys.
The success of Para Siempre continued with its title track. It was the principal song for Televisa’s blockbuster telenovela “Fuego en la Sangre,” which has produced the network’s highest ratings ever.
In 2008, his achievements became even more impressive with the release of his live CD/DVD Primera Fila, which was the top-selling musical DVD of the year in the U.S. in any genre. He won a Latin Grammy in fall 2008, and in 2009 continued his awards-season streak with a Premio Lo Nuestro and a Billboard Latin Music Award.
Staying at the forefront of mariachi music, he released his latest studio album, Necesito de Ti (I Need You), in July 2009, as the title-track first single climbed the charts.
In order to enshrine his love and admiration for horses, for country life and for music, Vicente Fernández in 2005 built the Vicente Fernández Gómez Arena for Performances and Horsemanship. This 11,000-capacity area is located on his Los Tres Potrillos (Three Fillys) ranch outside Guadalajara. Ultra-modern and completely enclosed, the facility is popular for rodeos, sporting events and concerts. In 2005 it was the site of the LXI Congress and Vicente Fernández National Charro Championship.
As the 2010s dawned, Vicente Fernández remained ubiquitous, prolific and always interesting. He wrapped up the 2000s with the December 2009 re-release of Necesito de Ti in CD+DVD configuration, featuring 13 audio and video tracks. It earned Platinum certification in Mexico, and Gold in the U.S.
One of most the most important Latin albums of 2009, Necesito de Ti received multiple recognitions for its quality and popularity. Mexico’s Premios Oye awarded him three trophies in November 2009. In 2010, Necesito de Ti was awarded the American Grammy for Best Ranchera Album. Later in the year, he also won Univision’s Premio Lo Nuestro for Ranchera Artist of the Year, and two Billboard Latin Music Awards.
Dipping into the plentiful well of Vicente Fernández’s greatest moments, Sony Music in 2010 released Un Mexicano en la Mexico, a DVD of his iconic September 15, 1984, concert at Mexico City’s Plaza de Toros bullring. There, he performed to a standing-room only crowd of 54,000 for over two hours as rain continually threatened to dampen the proceedings. But, legend has it, none other than the Aztec god Tlaloc kept the showers at bay, setting the stage for a historic performance.
Right back on the scene with another groundbreaking studio album, Vicente Fernández in September 2010 released El Hombre Que Más Te Amó (The Man Who Loved You Most). Despite having nothing to prove, Fernández still made a major step forward, serving as producer for the first time in his career and tapping the talents of young, aspiring songwriters. Quite a risk, but the results speak for themselves – El Hombre Que Más Te Amó won the 2011 Latin Grammy for Best Ranchera Album.
Vicente Fernández is still the most popular singer, not just in the ranchera genre, but in all of Regional Mexican music.
With a tremendous and still-growing discography, a powerful voice and unforgettable music, Fernández pushes the boundaries of mariachi music and influences absolutely everybody. His longevity, his dedication to his craft and his faithful devotion to his fans make him beloved in Mexico and around the world.
As a pioneer, Vicente Fernández is to Mexican music what Hank Williams is to country, B.B. King is to blues and Woody Guthrie is to folk.
In 2011, Vicente Fernández outdoes himself again with Otra Vez (Once Again), released in November. Recording took place in the Mexican states of Jalisco and Morelos at studios belonging to Vicente Fernández himself and those of his producer Joan Sebastian. A collaboration of virtuosos, Otra Vez marks the second time that Joan Sebastian has produced El Rey – thus the title! Joan Sebastian also wrote all of the songs on Otra Vez.
We enjoy a rhythmic treat on first single “Volcanes Dormidos” (Sleeping Volcanoes), which finds Vicente Fernández incorporating electric guitar into his ranchera music for the first time. It’s a beguiling fusion, and one that only maestros like Vicente Fernández and Joan Sebastian could pull off.
So once again – Otra Vez – we salute Vicente Fernández, who is synonymous with studio perfection, vocal passion and an inimitable style. Like fine wine, he improves with the years. And he is a maestro for every aspiring artist. | 2019-04-22T17:04:14 | https://vicentefernandez.mx/en/biography/ |

When your young and at your first dance, and your sitting on a small gilt chair with your eyes lowered, terrified that you'll be a wall flower. Suddenly, you see two black shoes, a white waist coat, a face, it speaks.
-Anna (The King and I)- Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance?
The King and I is one of my favorite movies and while I love the remake starring Jodie Foster the original version starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr remains my favorite version. The scene where he asks her to dance is one of my favorite. I have never donned a ball gown nor slipped my foot into a fancy dancing slipper but I always imagined those were my feet tripping across the floor to the lively tune of Shall We Dance. Having recently watched The King and I while sick I was inspired by the dance scene and imagined my own version of a dancing slipper that Anna might have worn to dance with her king.
This soft sculpted fabric collage shoe is my latest piece of artwork. I have begun working in a series exploring making sculpted fabric collage pieces. The demitasse cup and saucer from my last post was my first experiment and this dancing slipper, which is completely handmade, is my second. My daughter said if she had not seen me make it in stages she would have sworn it was a real shoe!
Thank you all so much for the sweet well wishes and prayers for my mother and myself. I am still battling a nasty cold and my mother, well, the situation is not good. We are trying to wade through the proper medical channels to get a correct diagnosis and if our suspicions are true we have some long and difficult days ahead. I so appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.
On a brighter note, speaking of new romance as in the song above, romance is afoot here at the Quill. The young man who comes to call on Darling Daughter asked her to be his bride and to dance through life at his side!!! We are beyond excited and wedding bells will be chiming in June!
I hope your day is a bright cloud of music upon which you too fly!
I hope you can get a diagnosis for your mom soon. And what exciting news a wedding. Beautiful shoe! and gorgeous pics.
I too hope you get a diagnosis soon for your Mom. Your collage pieces are simply stunning and they do look as if they are the "real" thing! Congrats on your daughter's upcoming wedding!! Have a wonderfully creative day.
I'm so sorry about your Mom. My mother is very frail and declining rapidly, so I understand your fears and worries.
And lastly, I love The King and I, as well. I've been in it twice, once playing Lady Thiang, and once playing Anna. This was many years ago!
Still, to the day, no matter what other roles I played in my many years as an actress, my father always said "You know I liked you best in The King and I." Makes me smile.
The shoe is absolutely gorgeous.
Sigh... I think I could be Cinderella with that shoe!
Sending sunshine your way, Sandy!
And congrats to the bride! A Wedding in June- oh joy!
Your shoe creation is beautiful.
I too hope you get a diagnosis soon for your mom. You both are in my prayers.
I cannot believe you made the slipper!! You have so much talent Sandy, you amaze me everytime. The slipper is just beautiful. I love that movie too (older version)but I have a soft spot for the older movies.
I am so sorry to hear that your Mother and you are ill.I am praying for you both, dear friend.
Thank you for sharing your precious slipper and other news with us. Please take care of yourself.
Many blessings of good health are being sent your way.
I've been through this with my mother and my in-laws. I know how difficult it is. My sympathies are with you. Your shoe collage is just beautiful. So delicate and lacey.
MY goodness, I would of thought your shoe was real. I love it so much, what a fantastic job.
Amazing, so lovely. And i remember the song from the king and I. I took my little brother and Sister to the movie. I loved the big skirts on the dresses she wore.
Life has such wide swings...concern for your mother on the one hand and great joy for your daughter. All the very best to the happy couple and I'm so excited, too, because I know that you'll document it all so very well.
Now I'm humming this song and John will probably wish to wring my neck. I'll blame you, of course. I love the original version, too.
Your blog always offers a beautiful visit. So wishing that things will go well for your Mother and I know there is much excitement in store for you and your daughter.
If i were cinderella I would prefer your shoe instead of the glass slipper.
You made it look fantasic like usual.
I hope you can get a diagnosis for your mom soon. I am sending happy thoughts your way!
Well the shoe certainly fits my taste! i love the lace, it is so very elegant..gorgeous...a wonderful creation!
I am your newest follower..and I just wanted to congratulate your Somerset 'exposure' for that is where i found you!
Come by and visit with me anytime.
I crochet and make tea cup sculptures too...we'll have a blast sharing our creative worlds!
So sorry to hear about you mom Sandy - I hope you get it all solved and soon get a diagnose.
Congrat with you daughter and the upcoming wedding - how wonderful.
Love you shoe project- it´s so pretty and wonderful.
Ok, this is beautiful and that's all there is to it. Love the colors and the textures in combination with the soft style of it. Great piece!
Just stunning! I'm beyond words. My hands would not allow me the nimbleness of working the threads as you do! Or maybe it's the brain behind the hands that I have trouble with! Ha!
But congratulations and the very warmest blessings to the engaged couple!
I am keeping your dear mother in prayer my friend.
I must say the original King and I all the way for me as well.
The slipper~ well it is fit for a princess.
Oh Sandy This Is Lovely! Truly a Slipper made for a Princess or Queen!I Love the King and I as well. A Wonderful Movie.
I hope this finds you Getting Well and You and Your Dear Mother will be in my Prayers.
congratulations with your daughter, may she live happily in her new (june) life.
As for your mother, it makes me very sorry for all of you, I hope they can soon start treating her, medically.
And you, dear friend,-you are a so amazingly creator, -this shoe is surely a fairytale shoe, and so beautifully made- and so wonderfull presented, Sandy.
Sandy, I haven't been reading blogs much this past week, have been so busy myself and am sorry to read that your mother's health may be worse than you thought. Please know that my heart is heavy for you.
And the shoes...truly...you made them? I thought they were purchased shoes you had decorated!
Making 3D items is NOT easy! Nor were the boxes! The boxes...fiddly work until the decorating of them begins! But the shoe in this post...oh my! Exquisite! Inspiring! If you sell them, they will fly! | 2019-04-23T16:13:26 | http://quillcottage.blogspot.com/2011/01/shall-we-dance.html |

Ok. This one is more than 10 years old. I did it in college as part of a sequential art class. It's... kind of rough. I realize that. There are a lot of things going on with it. Plenty of bad design, bad drawing, and just plain craziness. I guess I am ok with the craziness. What I like about this is that I had a story I wanted to tell, and although I don't think I told it as clear as I could, I got it all down on paper and filled those 24 pages. Some of the panels I think I pulled of some cool stuff, most of it is pretty "not so good" I am ok with that, because I know I have gotten and will continue to get better at this. For those of you who have not created 24 pages of art and story for a comic (plus a cover - which I still like pretty much), just know that it is an accomplishment in itself. I like the story that I tried to tell in this comic so much, that I am taking another swing at it in a project I am working on now. | 2019-04-20T02:21:58 | http://bjduvall.com/comics/thebigwake20.php |
The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) has today published a new recommendation on US dollar-denominated funding of banks addressed to the national supervisory authorities of the EU Member States (Document reference: ESRB/2011/2).
The US dollar funding markets are of significant importance to EU banks. In the periods 2007-08 and 2010-11, EU banks funding themselves in US dollars were exposed to vulnerabilities, owing, on the one hand, to maturity mismatches between long-term assets and short-term liabilities in US dollars and, on the other, to the risk aversion of US money market funds at times of enhanced market tensions.
The ESRB considers that action should be taken to avoid a recurrence of these strains in US dollar-denominated funding of EU banks in the medium term. Even if the recommendations – by their nature – are not necessarily aimed at addressing recent market developments, national authorities are called on to report to the ESRB on their implementation by June 2012. To achieve this goal within a relatively short deadline, the recommendation predominantly involves measures to strengthen the use of already existing supervisory tools; but this is also partly because banks have already taken action in order to reduce the risk.
The ESRB recommends that the competent authorities intensify their monitoring action to prevent EU credit institutions from accumulating future excessive funding risks in US dollars. In particular, national supervisory authorities are requested to closely monitor maturity mismatches, funding concentration, the use of US dollar currency swaps and intra-group exposures. Moreover, the supervisory authorities should encourage credit institutions to take action before these risks reach an excessive level. At the same time, any measure to limit exposures should avoid having an adverse effect on existing financing in US dollars.
Moreover, authorities should make sure that EU credit institutions enhance their resilience to strains in the US dollar funding markets. To achieve this, the ESRB recommends that national supervisory authorities ensure that EU banks include management actions in their contingency funding plans for handling a shock in US dollar funding. In addition, the national supervisory authorities should assess the feasibility of these plans at the level of the banking sector. Based on this assessment, if there were to be a risk of simultaneous and similar responses by several banks in the face of a crisis, the supervisory authorities should consider action to diminish a potential systemic impact. | 2019-04-18T16:39:57 | https://www.esrb.europa.eu/news/pr/date/2012/html/pr120116_1.en.html |

AirXonix game. Free Download Air-Xonix - new 3D remake of the classic Xonix game.
AirXonix is an ultra modern 3-dimensional remake of the famous Xonix game. In the older Xonix game you controlled a device, which moved over a field with several monster-balls wandering inside. The objective was to cut the balls away from as much spare field as possible.
The rules of AirXonix are almost the same, except the device you control is flying in the air and everything is in full 3D! The stunning special effects are strengthened by 3D sound! New types of monsters and a slew of different bonuses all displayed in full 3D bring the old game to an entirely new level.
AirXonix includes 5 types of games with more then 80 levels. The rules are simple and the game will give unforgettable pleasure to people of any age!
The game is all right, nothing special but still O.K.
Anyway, it has got a bug or whatever. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS RESPOND properly for the reverse command. So, if you go forward and then want to reverse, it continuous to go forward!!! Really stupid!!!
Nice game. Very good game if you have completed games like gta san & nfs shift. | 2019-04-25T20:44:04 | http://www.astatix.com/airxonix.php |
