I always enjoy taking the ferries that cross the Huangpu whenever I’m biking to Pudong(they’re also the only way to go if you have a bike). I’ve taken these over the past few months when I’m on the boats.
Some of my “Photosynthesis” work is being featured by Illy Coffee at Milan Design Week. If you happen to be in Italy, you should definitely check it out. There are some really great SVA photographers in the show, it’s at Via Tortona 35, Milano until April 19th.

Coffee is your friend. If you plan on being in the library late into the night, be sure to buy some coffee and drink it as needed. It is truly a miracle worker in keeping you awake and will help you stay focused enough to get your stuff accomplished.
Bring Snacks. If you’re like most people, you’ll probably get hungry after two hours of sitting down and doing homework. Pack some snacks to have in case your stomach starts growling, but be sure they aren’t “loud” food. Stick to crackers and cheese rather than celery and peanut butter if you are in the quiet section, and always pack more than you think you need (friends will ask for a bite or two, and you will probably say yes).
Get home safely. It’s important if you plan on walking home late at night to be with someone else or get a ride. Sketchy people come out after dark, and you want to be sure to have someone to help if trouble arises. College Library also has workers who will walk you home if you end up being alone and need someone to walk with! Better safe than sorry, so use it if needed.
Being a college student means late nights cramming for finals and getting work done. It’s not always fun, but it can be done, and if you follow these tips it will be a much easier feat to accomplish when needed!

KEY: CO=carbon monoxide; GVWR=gross vehicle weight rating; HC=hydrocarbons; LVW=loaded vehicle weight; NMHC=non-methane hydrocarbons; NMHC=nonmethane hydrocarbons; NMOG=nonmethane organic gases; NOx=nitrogen oxides.
a Light-duty truck categories LDT1-LDT4 were not created until 1994. From 1968 to 1978 all trucks with a GVWR up to 6,000 pounds were classified as light-duty trucks and were required to meet the same standards. As of 1979, the maximum weight was raised to 8,500 pounds GVWR. During 1988-93, light-duty trucks were divided into two subcategories that coincide with the current LDT1-LDT4 categories. The standards for LDT1, LDT3, and LDT4 are shown in tables 4-31, 4-33, and 4-34.
b The test procedure for measuring exhaust emissions has changed several times over the course of vehicle emissions regulation. The 7-mode procedure was used through model year 1971 and was replaced by the CVS-72 procedure beginning in model year 1972. The CVS-75 procedure became the test procedure as of model year 1975. While it may appear that the total HC and CO standards were relaxed in 1972-74, these standards were actually more stringent due to the more stringent nature of the CVS-72 test procedure. Additional standards for CO and composite standards for NMHC and NOx tested over the new Supplemental Federal Test Procedure will be phased-in beginning with model year 2000. These standards are not shown in this table.
c Emissions standards had to be met for a useful life of 5 years/50,000 miles through model year 1983, and a full useful life of 11 years/120,000 miles was defined for 1985-93 (several useful life options were available for 1984). Beginning in model year 1994, emissions standards were established for an intermediate useful life of 5 years/50,000 miles as well as a full useful life (full useful life standards are shown in parentheses). HC standards, however, were established only for full useful life. Tier 1 exhaust standards, except particulates standards, were phased-in during 1994-96 at a rate of 40%, 80%, and 100%, respectively. Particulates standards were phased-in at a rate of 40%, 80%, and 100% during 1995-97.
dThe cold CO emissions standard is measured at 20 0F (rather than 75 0F) and is applicable for a 5-year/50,000-mile useful life.
eGVWR is the maximum design loaded weight. LVW is the curb weight (nominal vehicle weight) 300 pounds.
f Manufacturers can opt to certify vehicles for a full useful life of 15 years/150,000 miles and either have (1) intermediate useful life standards waived or (2) receive additional NOx credits.
g The "Prior to controls" reports emissions estimates of a typical newly manufactured car in the years before exhaust emissions certification standards were implemented.
i In 1968-69, exhaust emissions standards were issued in parts per million rather than grams per mile and are, therefore, incompatible with this table.
j No standard has been set.
k The term "tier" refers to a level of standards for specific years. Interim 2 refers to an intermediate level of standards that move manufacturers toward compliance with Tier 2 standards. Interim Tier 2 and Tier 2 standards are established as "bins." Each bin is a set of standards for NOx, CO, NMOG, formaldehyde, and particulates (HC and NMHC standards are dropped for Tier 2 and Interim Tier 2). Manufacturers may certify any given vehicle family to any of the bins available for that vehicle class as long as the resulting sales-weighted corporate average NOx standard is met for the full useful life. The Tier 2 corporate average NOx standard is 0.07 grams/mile. Interim corporate-based average NOx standards are based on vehicle type. The interim corporate sales-weighted average for LDT2 vehicles is 0.3 grams/mile. Tier 2 standards will be phased in at a rate of 25% in 2004, 50% in 2005, 75% in 2006, and 100% in 2007. During this period all LDT2 vehicles not meeting the Tier 2 standards must meet Interim Tier 2 standards.

Black Little Lena put down at age 28; NCHA looking for an Executive Director and Western Bloodstock reports the 2016 NCHA Futurity Sales claim a $23,235 average, with 13 horses selling for $100,000 or more.
Black Little Lena, a beautiful 1988 black son of Smart Little Lena out of a foundation-bred mare Missy Dry by Dry Doc out of Silver Creek Til by Cutting Hoss, was put down for Dec. 29, 2016, following complications of old age. The loss was a great one for owner Phyllis Vincent, Terrell, Texas, who had owned the stallion for the past three years.
Bred by Benny J. and Rebecca Martinez, Bakersfield, Calif., he was sold as a yearling during the 1989 NCHA Futurity to the Reidy Land & Cattle Company, Houston, Texas. They sold the stallion as a 3-year-old to Stephen or Phyllis Ward, Terrell, Texas, where he competed in and won most of his money in NCHA aged-event competition.
With lifetime earnings of $93,000, several aged-event finals and and an NCHA Certificate of Ability, Bronze, Silver and Gold awards from the NCHA, the stallion was also in the Top 10 of the Open Division of the NCHA in 1995. Some of his titles included being a semifinalist in the 1991 NCHA Open Futurity, ridden by John Wold. The pair went on to be a finalist in the 1992 Montgomery Open Futurity Classic for 4-year-olds, also ridden by Wold. In the 1992 Gold Coast Winter Championship Derby, John Ward rode the stallion to the finals, while Wold continued to ride him to the finals of the NCHA Derby, 1994 Augusta Classic, Georgia National for 5-and 6-year olds, 1995 Augusta 7-Up class and 1995 NCHA Super Stakes 7-Up class. Following the aged events, the stallion continued winning at NCHA weekend shows and was the NCHA Fort Worth Open Stock Show Champion.
His offspring were very diversified. According to NCHA records, as a sire, Black Little Lena sired 189 AQHA-registered foals in 22 crops with 33 of them performing in NCHA; AQHA in Open, Amateur and Youth competition, with several receiving Register of Merit titles in various divisions; NRHA; NRCHA and United States Penning Association competition. Several offspring also excelled in roping competition, both in AQHA and other roping associations. His highest number of foals came in 1995 through 2002.
The NCHA is searching for a new Executive Director, following the exit of Jim Bret Campbell. According to the NCHA website, the Executive Director is the chief administrative executive officer of NCHA and reports to and is responsible to the chief elected officer (President – currently Phil Rapp) of the Association and the Executive Committee. He provides leadership, management and vision necessary to ensure the Association will effectively increase member satisfaction, grow members, purses, service, revenue and programs. He will direct all aspects of the Association and is responsible for the staff and the financial assets of NCHA. He is also responsible for promoting and marketing the Association and the sport of cutting, as well as implementing and being responsible for implementing the goals and objectives of the Association. Click below for full NCHA press release.
Western Bloodstock reports the 2016 NCHA Futurity Sales claim a $23,235 average, with 13 horses selling for $100,000 or more. The high-selling horse was Lot 5145, Sly Playgirl, a 2007 mare by That Sly Cat, bringing $800,000; followed by the popular stallion Spots Hot, a 2001 stallion by Chula Dual, bringing $550,000. Another top stallion, Third Cutting, a 2005 stallion by Boonlight Dancer, also brought $285,000. Allaboutcutting.com will be publishing of breakdown of these sales during the next few weeks. Go to the Western Bloodstock website (www.westernbloodstock.com) to see all the sale results and go to the NCHA website at www.nchacutting.com for a press release from Western Bloodstock about the sales.

Situated in the rapidly transitioning neighborhood of RiNo, this mixed-use residential building at Link 35 works to create a context for its new community. Using elements of the warehouses and shipping containers that currently make up this area of Denver, Link 35 provides a modern, dense housing development on a historically industrial block.
The new building design breaks down the massing of the city block for a human scale. Areas of the building are carved away to create street-level courts and rooftop terraces for outdoor gatherings. Retail space at the ground level provides a strong pedestrian connection. Secure parking is accessed from the alley, directing the active spaces toward the street. The 66 rental units on the upper floors include studio, 1- and 2-bedroom units as well as micro-housing units. Each unit has an exterior or Juliet balcony. Each of these elements works to successfully translate the industrial character to a vibrant residential urban neighborhood.

Good evening! My name is Andrew Han-Ghil Kim from the Jinwol-dong Parish in Gwangju. Almost twelve years ago, on the First Saturday of October 1992, I came to Naju for the first time with my parents. Since then, I have attended every First Saturday overnight prayer meeting and every Thursday evening Holy Hour prayer meeting. I would like to share with you a special grace that I recently received from the Blessed Mother.
Now I am a high-school freshman. When I was four years old, I was in a car accident and the bones in my right leg were broken at three places. After it was healed, my right leg became longer than my left leg. In the first few years, I did not experience any inconvenience.
From the time when I was a 6th grader, I grew faster. In my first year in junior high school (7th grade), my height became 173 cm (5' 8") and my right leg was 3 cm (more than 1 inch) longer than my left leg. When I was standing, it was obvious that I was leaning to the left. From my second year in junior high school, I began feeling pains in my spine as it was becoming bent. Especially in summer, when I often wore short pants, some of my friends noticed it and said, "Uh! Your legs don't look normal?" I answered, "Yes, I had an accident when I was little." I felt more pains especially when I was sitting in a chair for a long time, which I did every day at school. I told my parents about it, but they did not think it was serious. I was sad and was becoming sensitive even about little things. Many times, I wept when nobody saw me.
When I was in the 3rd year of junior high school, my height was more than 179 cm (almost 5' 11"), and the difference between my two legs grew bigger also. I had more difficulties in my daily life. As my body was unbalanced, my mind was becoming unbalanced, too.
Then, on February 12 of this year, while I was attending the Thursday evening Holy Hour prayer meeting, I suddenly felt some quite forceful pulse-like pattering movement or vibration in my left knee, which even made audible sounds. Immediately I thought, "Ah! The Blessed Mother must be giving me the grace of healing! Lord, Your Will be done!" and asked my father sitting next to me to feel my knee. After feeling my left knee with his hands, my father was greatly surprised and said, "Jesus! Blessed Mother! Thank You! Through the sufferings, sacrifices, and reparations by Julia Kim, You are healing my son Andrew!" My mother also felt my knee and opened her eyes widely with surprise. The amazing miracle of healing did not end there. The forceful pattering movement and sounds from my left knee continued for more than ten minutes, and I was completely healed. My two legs became of the same length, and my bent, aching spine was also healed completely. My mind and heart, which had begun to become bent, were also healed. As the shorter left leg became longer to the same length as the right leg, my overall height became 1.5 cm greater than before.
Before the healing, I was nervous and uneasy even over little things and had a habit of negative thinking. After the healing, I have become positive and joyful over everything. Before, when I was praying the rosary, I had many distractions even from the first decade. Now, I can pray the whole fifteen decades with hardly any distraction.
As the Lord and the Blessed Mother of Naju healed my soul also through the healing of my left leg, I will make unceasing efforts to live the life that the Lord and the Blessed Mother want me to live, turning my entire life into prayers.

England head coach Phil Neville has reiterated that nobody is safe as the countdown to the summer’s World Cup continues.
While Neville himself admitted there is now a familiar look to his squads, the former Manchester United man is keen to guard against complacency and also sent a message to those on the outskirts of his squad on Monday.
It’s almost two years to the day since former head coach Mark Sampson made a surprise early announcement of his Euro 2017 squad and while Neville is clearly not as much in a rush as his predecessor, he admitted the announcement could come before the end of the month.
Despite making only necessary changes to his squad since the SheBelieves Cup success a month ago, Neville says no one is yet guaranteed a spot on the plane to Nice.
But it appears Neville hasn’t yet ruled out someone breaking into his squad for the first time despite this likely being the final camp before the announcement and the final two “Road to France” friendlies after the end of the domestic season.
The 42-year-old went onto say injuries can have an impact on squad selection and referenced several players who are in his thoughts.
Neville was in attendance at the recent Chelsea–PSG game where Blundell scored a superb goal from right back while her Blues teammate England has been in fine form since returning from a successful loan spell at Liverpool.
Birmingham City defender Aoife Mannion has won many plaudits throughout the season and Neville has sent a message to those to just “keep doing what they’re doing” ahead of the tournament and looking ahead to Euro 2021.
“That’s what I’ve told Beth a few times now because she’s been so unlucky,” he said. “Aoife is so unlucky. I can’t go to Aoife, Beth, and Hannah and say ‘you need to do XYZ more’ because they are probably playing at their absolute maximum.
Neville also made reference to some of the younger players he has taken on camps for experience purposes, particularly Manchester City forward Lauren Hemp.
Hemp has returned to Under-19 duty to help Rehanne Skinner’s side qualify for this summer’s European Championships in Scotland after traveling to the SheBelieves Cup as a non-squad player alongside goalkeeper Sandy MacIver.

Welcome to our recruitment page – this is where we post all permanent, temporary and voluntary opportunities with the Travel Foundation.
You can also follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn or sign up to our newsletter to hear about our latest vacancies.
The Travel Foundation is inviting applications for membership of its board of trustees, to replace current trustees due to retire during 2019. Up to three vacancies will be recruited for during 2019, and we hope one of the new trustees will be a potential future Treasurer, and one a potential future Chair of the charity.
The board of trustees provides governance, direction and oversight for the Travel Foundation, which is managed by a CEO and executive team based in Bristol. Trustees provide an active contribution to the board’s decision-making, to ensure that the charity pursues its charitable objects effectively and makes best use of its resources.
The board meets four times a year, so trustee commitments include four days of meetings and the necessary additional time to analyse board papers, understand the organisation and its opportunities and challenges, and interact with the executive team as necessary (including one or more visits to Bristol per year).
We are looking for candidates with a real commitment to the Travel Foundation and to the principles of sustainable tourism; with strategic vision and good independent judgement; the ability to think creatively; willingness to speak your mind; an understanding and acceptance of the legal duties and responsibilities of trusteeship; and the ability to work effectively as part of a diverse team.
Expertise in sustainable tourism, international development, grant funding, and/or international institutions is sought and (for a potential Treasurer) an understanding of financial accounts and reporting, and (for a potential Chair) exceptional leadership skills and experience.
Please download ‘Trustee Job Description’ for further details. Charity trustees are not remunerated (though travel expenses are reimbursed).
Applicants should send a CV and covering email in the first instance to our Charity Secretary at: [email protected] by 12 April 2018.
If you are a consultant with experience of working in the tourism sector (or within an environment/conservation/international development context that includes a significant tourism component) and would be interested in future opportunities, please send your CV and a cover letter to [email protected] Your details will be added to our database and you should receive applicable invitations to tender.
We would also recommend you sign up for our e-newsletter to be kept up-to-date with our work and any future vacancies.
Please note we do not accept speculative CVs. Any volunteer or internship opportunities will be advertised here.

Matt & Destiny choose to do their engagement session at Creekside in Gahanna, because it’s the same place where they got engaged! When these two came to my house for their consultation, one of my favorite parts was hearing about their proposal story. Matt so excitedly shared it with me, but actually getting the full run-down of how the night played out was even better! We even made sure to spend a few minutes at the very spot they got engaged… that doesn’t happy too often at engagement sessions so I was really excited that we got to do that!
They also brought their fur babe and he is so cute!! I mean, just look at how adorable those images are! These two will be tying the knot next year at the Estate at New Albany, and I could not be more excited for them. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Our goal for this program is to give our Scholars access to STEM mentors that have overcome some of the challenges that our Scholars face or will face in their study and career. Working with role models helps to breakdown many of the stereotypes our Scholars learned from other aspects of society about who belongs in a particular line of work. As the saying goes, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Your support in developing this program will have a significant impact in the lives of our Scholars.

This is a 310 g mould-made, acid free water color paper with the smoothest surface in the range. It’s ideal for images that are highly detailed and require photographic quality. Also, as the name suggests, it has a surface similar to an etching paper, which provides for excellent reproduction of traditional prints.

The quality of any Bible depends primarily on the materials and the processes used in manufacture, as well as on the more immediately apparent factors such as text design and layout. The following guide offers some pointers for prospective customers considering the purchase of a fine Bible.
Can you always judge a good book by its cover?
Not necessarily – first impressions may be misleading! Bibles come in a variety of cover styles and materials, but the range of options available for a particular edition almost always share a common printed book block – the pages inside the book’s cover – and the true measure of quality therefore begins with an assessment of the text design and the paper and print quality. One sometimes sees high-quality supple leather covers wrapped round an inferior book block, the quality of which is better suited to a basic and inexpensive mechanical binding style. Conversely, in the Cambridge list even the basic hardback Bibles have similar quality features – design, paper, print quality, sewn bindings – to the fine-bound styles of the same edition.
The Bible publisher’s first challenge has always been to present, within the covers of a single ‘book’, a large amount of text – more than three-quarters of a million words in the Old and New Testaments alone, equivalent to half a dozen or more novels. Traditionally this has been accomplished by printing on very thin paper using carefully chosen typefaces and type sizes, and cleverly designed page layouts. The printed page should be easy to read, but a small format Bible cannot be printed in a large typeface without increasing the number of pages and consequently the thickness of the book, so designers strive to find the optimum balance between readability and portability. The outer margins should be even, and in the centre of the book the ‘gutter’ margins should be sufficiently generous so as not to interfere with reading.
There are many variations in the styles and characteristics of typefaces or ‘fonts’ available to the designer. In order to be economical in the space it occupies and at the same time easy to read in small sizes, the font needs to be what was traditionally described as ‘large on the body’: the central part of the letter should be generously proportioned with modestly sized ascenders and descenders (e.g. the upward stroke of h and the downward stroke of p). A thin, spidery or condensed type may prove tiring to the eye, but one with over-thick strokes will make the page look too dark. Fussy or unusual letter forms may distract or irritate the reader.
Note that point size is not a universal measurement, nor is any specific point size in itself a guarantee of readability. Each font has its own characteristics, and an 8 point type in one font may well be considered just as legible as a 9 or 10 point in another. The amount of ‘leading’ between the lines, the length of the text line, and whether the text prints ‘line on line’ (see ‘Printing’) are all factors that may contribute significantly to readability.
The typefaces chosen for Cambridge Bibles have been selected to provide the most legible and attractive appearance for the particular style and size of each edition. Cambridge editions fall into two categories: traditional settings created in the days of hot-metal composition, and modern settings created using digital fonts selected to replicate the best characteristics of the familiar metal Bible typefaces. In effect, the older KJV settings such as the Concord, Pitt Minion, or Cameo Reference are ‘facsimiles’ of the original editions created many years ago.
Because of their length, Bibles have to be printed on very thin paper in order to achieve a suitably compact book. Nevertheless, irrespective of how thick or thin it is, paper in a Bible should have sufficient strength to sustain the usage it will receive. The best Bibles are printed on papers which are not only much thinner and finer than ordinary book papers, but which are also strong and have sufficient opacity to minimise ‘show-through’ from printing on the reverse side. Paper of 30gsm or less in weight – ‘20lb paper' in the US – is usually described as ‘India paper’ and over 30gsm as ‘Bible paper’.
Cambridge Bibles are printed on high-quality lightweight paper, chosen to achieve the optimum readability for the minimum bulk. Various factors – strength, thinness and opacity, and aesthetic qualities – are considered in sourcing appropriate papers that meet internationally recognised environmental standards.
Some Cambridge reference Bibles have wide margins, so that users can make notes against the Bible text. The paper used in these Bibles is chosen for its superior resilience and its capacity to absorb handwritten notes. Nevertheless, it is advisable to test pens and pencils on the paper before making extensive notes, to ensure that the ink flow is not so great as to bleed through the paper. Making notes in standard Bibles without wide margins is not recommended.
The appearance of the printed page is a good indication of the quality of both the printing and the paper. The position of the type on the page and the width of the margins should be consistent throughout. All letters should be sharp and clear and the inking should be even and uniform on all pages. In red-letter Bibles the register (the relative position of the red and black type on the page) should be accurate and consistent.
The best Bibles are designed to be printed ‘line on line’ (when one line exactly matches the position of a line of text on the reverse side of the paper) and have minimal show-through, even when printing on the thinnest papers.
Accuracy in printing fine Bibles is best achieved when the presses are run at slower speeds than is usual for mass-market Bibles or books, but this extra care inevitably has an implication for pricing. There are differences applicable to different Bible editions even within the Cambridge list, but generally Cambridge Bibles are printed on presses running more slowly and therefore more accurately, than the norm.
Another measure of printing quality is whether the pages are printed in the correct long-grain direction rather than cross-grain. As a simple test, run a finger along the inner margins of the book: if the pages are smooth to the touch, the book is printed long grain; if rough or crinkled, it is probably printed cross grain. Printing in the correct grain direction improves the ease with which the pages may be turned as well as their appearance, and also has an effect on the quality of the gilding. (The cross-grain edges of the book will appear wavy, and this effect is often highlighted by gilding).
In the Cambridge list, the older KJV settings such as the Concord or Cameo show text design at its classic best, albeit with some occasional minor blemishes in the print image (perhaps in individual character form) inherent in the process of converting typesettings created for letterpress printing into lithographic plates. Any such imperfections are a feature of ‘facsimile’ reproduction, and are not due to flawed page design or printing.
To make a fine Bible demands more than skill in design and printing alone. If a Bible is to last and if its appearance and handling qualities are to satisfy, it must be bound in high quality materials with care and craftsmanship. Cambridge Bibles are always sewn (not merely glued as is often the case elsewhere). This adds strength and makes them last longer, and it also ensures the books lie flat once open. The thread used to sew the pages together is strong but thin, and so the reader should always open the pages carefully at first to allow the threads to settle. Of course, bending the cover back on itself is likely to over-strain the thread and may cause the binding to fail.
Note that all sewn books and Bibles are also glued. The sections are sewn together loosely, then nipped together and lightly glued along the spine (usually with gauze fabric attached) to hold the book block together properly. The glue penetrates a little between the individual sections, but the advantage of a sewn book is that the individual pages are not separately attached only by a single thin line of glue to the cover: each page is part of a folded section (a ‘signature’) of multiple pages; each signature is sewn to all the others; then all the signatures are glued to form a book block before being cased in to the cover.
Each style of bound Bible in a particular Cambridge edition will use the same basic sewn book block as one another; and so the less costly binding styles all offer the same quality of paper and standards of printing as the top-of-the-range fine bindings.
There are two methods of casing in a fine Bible: the first (‘paste off’) is a semi-automated process of gluing the cover to the endpapers of the book block, while the second (‘edge-lined’) is a specialised handcraft process using a cover that is more flexible and that gives a firm attachment of cover to book. The hand-made edge-lined cover is attached to the book block by means of a flap (of about half an inch in width) of the inner cover material being glued to the endpapers of the book. Because these covers are hand-made, each Bible is in effect unique – no two will look exactly the same.
The cover material used in Bible binding not only affects one’s initial aesthetic response – both visual and tactile – but in the longer run also determines the durability of the book itself. The customer should balance these factors when considering a purchase. Except in Lectern Bibles or other bindings deliberately stiffened by the incorporation of a board between the outer cover and the lining, covers should be reasonably flexible, but at the same time should lie flat. The overlap protects the gilded edges. It should be of fairly uniform width all around the book, and the corners should be well rounded, smoothed down and firmly glued. The lining should adhere evenly all over the cover and be positioned so as to leave a uniform amount of the turned-in outer cover showing evenly. Often, a pattern or graining is artificially applied to leather during its manufacture but the best or most expensive flexible covers will usually feature the natural grain of the animal hide.
Cambridge Bibles use a range of leathers, with different grains appropriate to the size of each book. To maintain the fine quality for which Cambridge is renowned, the leather tanneries used by our bookbinders carefully select and scrutinise the best leathers from around the world. Of course, because leather is a natural product – however it is processed – each leather-bound Bible is unique; a facet that is particularly noticeable when natural-grain goatskin rather than an impressed leather hide is used.
Many Cambridge Bibles and Prayer Books are decorated on their covers and on the edges of their paper with metallic (usually gold- or silver-coloured) foil. The book block is trimmed, the edges are sanded, and the corners are evenly rounded, so that when the book is closed these page edges will show as a smooth gold or silver surface. The material used in this process gives a rich, bright, and attractive finish to the book. Some Bibles have ‘art-gilt’ edges, where a lustrous finish is created by a combination of red dye and gilt foil.
Ribbon markers allow readers to keep a place in the text while looking up cross-references, perhaps, or to mark a particular passage to which they will return. Care is taken in choosing ribbon markers for Cambridge Bibles. Strong ribbons of appropriate breadth for the size of each Bible are selected, so that they will not curl up, become thready or stringy or, in extreme cases, cut through the thin Bible pages. A generous length is specified, so that the ribbons do not get lost within the pages. If the Bible is one of the larger volumes or one of the top-of-the-range goatskin bindings it may have two ribbons, and the Lectern Bibles all have three, to allow easy marking of different readings.
Headbands appear at the top of the spine and tail bands at the bottom. Formerly, they were sewn onto the book block and protected the spine from damage when the Bible was taken from densely stocked bookshelves. Nowadays, they are added as a decorative item to all fine-bound Cambridge Bibles, as well as to many hardbacks, and the colours are chosen to complement the shade of material and gilding used in the binding.
Nowadays Cambridge Bibles may be bound in hardback or faux leather (bonded or imitation), or in various grades of real leather. The finest Bibles are bound in goatskin, a material used in traditional bookbinding for many centuries.
Real leather is taken from an animal hide. ‘Split’ refers to the underside of the hide; the other side, ‘top-grain’, is superior and more expensive. When publishers use generic and imprecise descriptions such as ‘real leather’ or ‘genuine leather’, the Bible cover is usually made from an inferior and industrially produced split pigskin material.
A beautiful and very durable top-quality leather. Traditionally known as ‘Morocco’ leather, it is strong yet supple and is used in the finest bindings. The best goatskins for bookbinding come from arid areas where environmental conditions are ideal for producing hides with the necessary balance of strength and suppleness. Here they are partially tanned using the same traditional vegetable preservative materials and methods which have been used through many generations.
A traditional high-quality leather used in fine bindings. It is long-lasting and becomes more supple with use. The finest calfskin is renowned for its distinctive natural grain and rich colour shading, features that will contribute to the ‘uniqueness’ of each cover.
The best quality calfskin is sometimes known as ‘top grain’ in the US. This refers to the retention of the strongest part of the hide. Some Bible publishers use cheaper grades of thinner, split calfskin, which lack the subtle qualities of the best material but are otherwise similar in appearance. Properly, they should be identified as such by using a different name to distinguish a split from a top grain.
A superior grade to French Morocco leather, tanned to approach the quality and feel of full-grain calfskin leather.
Slightly thinner than other grades of leather, and therefore relatively flexible and soft even when new. A French Morocco binding offers high-quality real leather at an economical price.
Cambridge uses this term for leather taken from a split hide, traditionally sheepskin but now often calf or cowhide.
This may be made from a combination of materials: leather fibres and bonding resin and – with inferior grades – sometimes other ‘filler’ material such as card and paper. The materials used determine appearance and longevity: not all Bible bindings described as ‘bonded leather’ are of equal quality.
Cambridge Bibles with bonded leather covers use the best quality material available in this category: bonded leather made from 100% leather fibres combined with a strong resin bonding.
An attractive polyurethane cover material manufactured to give with some visual and tactile resemblance to real leather, but at a lower price. May often be very colourful and highly decorative, and is very flexible.

Which do you prefer – ink by the bottle or catridge?
I’ve been a bottled ink kind of guy for as long as I can remember. I would use cartridges for specific reasons, such as in the Lamy’s I kept in my office desk or in Vanishing Points to maximize ink supplies.
I recently began to consider using cartridges more regularly and I was wondering what other people use. So I put up the above poll. It’s unscientific and will only prove what people who read this blog and answer polls prefer. But it’ll also satisfy my curiosity.
I came up with some pros and cons for using cartridges. Any others?
Convenience – easy to store, carry and load up the pen. Often a spare cartridge can be stored in the pen barrel.
Less messy – no need to clean off the nib. No risk of spills.
Less choice of ink – but does it matter if you like the ink that is available?
Ink can evaporate from the plastic cartridges (or actually the water in the ink), unlike glass bottles. So long term storage is a problem.
It may take coaxing to get the ink flowing when a cartridge is added to the pen.
More expensive per ml than bottles.
Wasteful – empty cartridges get thrown out.
This entry was posted in Trail Log and tagged ink, poll by Ray. Bookmark the permalink.
Interesting post. I recently was forced to use a cartridge in a particular pen and found it refreshingly convenient. I went ahead and bout a pack of 12 in a Pilot Blue Black that I found appealing. I still think I will remain a bottled ink guy due to the color options.
Hi mypensneedink, I have a couple boxes of Pilot carts since they’re more convenient in my VPs. The convenience has me keeping a couple in my desk at work for the pens I keep there. The potential disaster of a spilled bottle of ink at work is far greater than home.
I don’t think I’ll leave the bottled stuff either put may try a few different cartridges.
Another”con” when using cartridges is that the pen is more likely to clog. When filling from a bottle, the process of sucking up ink through the nib and feed tends to clean the channels of dried ink and dirt.

Macon Clay county, Highway 64 to Nantahala Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
are lots of good rivers for that around here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in North Carolina is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers in this state are good for beginners. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. The wild scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains is great. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. The put-in is not too far from Cornelia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
Nantahala River is a spot with many visitors from Topton. Nantahala River is near Nantahala National Forest which is a pretty place, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Thorn Mountain Trail. At this river you will always have a good time. A journey to Big Oak Gap is always fun; Nantahala River is right by the Rufus Morgan Trail. For the period of the summertime months at Nantahala River temperatures are commonly in the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the 60's.

This is the biography of Sir Thomas Roddick, a highly respected surgeon, medical administrator, and politician who was born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, in 1888. Roddick's hard work and dedication saw great improvements made in Canadian medicine, not the least of which was the creation and passing of a government bill that standardized education of medical students and the qualifications required to practice medicine in Canada, and which also required the registration of all medical graduates entering practice in Canada. Roddick's dedication to his field was recognized often, as many awards were conferred on him throughout his career, culminating in his knighthood in 1914.

Finding true love certainly isn't easy. It's not everyday that the extremely loyal (and cute) farm boy working for your family, turns out to be the one man meant for you. Most guys in the kingdom just aren't up to snuff. Why, for every handsome, charming and caring, Westley out there, a dozen Prince Humperdincks are out there, trying to be a sneaky and conniving mongoose of a man. That's why, when a girl finds her true love, she needs to wear something that will catch her true love's eye. She needs to wear something that's both pure and radiant, so she can marry her one and only! Of course, Buttercup picks the perfect dress for this occasion, which we've recreated with this exclusive costume from The Princess Bride.
We know what you're thinking. We're fans of the movie too! We know that Buttercup wore this azure blue dress during her wedding day with Prince Humperdinck, but she was really wearing it for her true love and we went to long lengths to get the look of this Buttercup wedding dress just right. The long-sleeve pullover dress is a soft blue color with a zipper along the seem for fitting. The bodice has cord lacing for a delightfully Medieval style. The costume also comes with a sparkling crown, befitting of a woman about to become the Princess of Florin.
It'll be up to you to figure out how to foil Prince Humperdinck's plans, so you can be with your true love. The good news is, with this licensed costume, you'll be all ready for your wedding with the dashing Westley once you escape the evil Prince.

These packs cover the salad items I was looking for – it’s great to have some fast growing, quick cropping salad to keep the children interested.
There are a couple of unusual varieties – an interesting yellow tomato called yellow pear and cinnamon basil..
The Scotch Bonnet, Thai Chilli and Cayenne peppers are all a bit too hot for me so I might see if I can give them away.
Our garden desperately needs some colour as it hasn’t yet recovered from the building project and severe neglect that accompanied the building work when our garden was inaccessible.
The flowers are varieties that I really wanted to try, although in the past I haven’t been as successful with flowers as with vegetables.
I wanted the Calendula for companion planting, the gypsophila for cut flower arrangements, the poppies for colour and to press the leaves, the candy tuft just for the colour and I know I wanted cornflowers but I’m still trying to remember why.
All in all, this should work out to be great value as the seed packs cover most of the things I want to plant this year and there are just 4 of the 24 types which I don’t think I will use.

Lollipop and Gumdrop tell me they want to eat❤️. They can not eat this morning due to surgery please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
These two kittens were found in a field. Both kittens made it through the night. Their remaining eye did close shut. They even played this morning.
These two horrible injured kittens are on their way to emergency surgery! Rescuers have named them Lollipop and Gumdrop. Unfortunately rescuers had to move forward with the surgery because Lollipop’s eye has ruptured.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers! They are super small and surgery is extremely risky but doctors have no choice. Lollipop is barely a half a pound and Gumdrop is just shy of a pound this makes their surgery risky!
URGENT UPDATE: The surgery to remove the eyes seemed to be fine but then one of the kittens Lollipop has taken a turn for the worse and was just transported into ICU! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue to support this kitten and share her story!
This type of surgery is extremely extensive and expensive for a rescue group like Dallas Dog RRR. We have created the animal-saving products you see to help raise the funds for their surgery. Please consider purchasing one and sharing Lollipop and Gumdrop’s story!

Free-to-play is the driving force in today's mobile and social games — we start playing them because there is no cost to do so. Whether or not we keep playing them may well depend on the 15 rules of free-to-play outlined by Gamesbrief's Nicholas Lovell earlier today at the F2P Summit in London.
Edge's Nathan Brown wrote up a lovely summary of the talk, so I'll touch on a few of the points I found particularly interesting before scooting you over there for the full list.
As my wife has worked at Starbucks for six years, I'm particularly ford of The Starbucks Test. It's an idea borrowed from NaturalMotion CEO Torsten Reil (makers of the amazing CSR Racing, pictured above), who asked "Can you play a game and have a meaningful experience in the time it takes for a barista to make your macchiato?" The game doesn't have to be bite-sized and snackable, but the gameplay does. I can hop on to Happy Street, restock my shops, get some crafts going and collect lumber from the forest, and by the time I am done my wife still has not made me a macchiato. She's pretty terrible.
"Be Generous" is also immensely important.
"If you want people who spend money in your game to be better than other people," Lovell said, "there have to be other people in the game for them to be better than."
You can't make it too easy for the paying players to trump the non-paying, so you have to make sure the cheapskates (go cheapskates!) have enough power to keep them competitive. It's a delicate balancing act that even the most popular games are constantly tweaking.
And possibly the most important rule of them all: Be Free Forever. If I download a free game, advance to a certain point in the game and am asked to pay money to advanced, it is no longer a free game, and I am no longer playing.
Hit up the Edge story below for all 15 of the free-to-play rules. For players it offers interesting insight into the mindset of F2P developers and how they work at opening your wallet. And for developers? These are brilliant. Follow them.

This blog is wrapping up for the evening, thanks for reading.
While some parts of the country that have sweltered today will get some relief tomorrow, others will heat up. The latest forecast is for a high of 44C in Melbourne, 39C in Canberra and 38C in Penrith in western Sydney (the forecast for Sydney is for a high of 29C). Hobart is expected to reach a high of 37C, Brisbane 32C and Darwin 32C.
SA’s Port Augusta, where it hit a maximum of 49.5C earlier today, will still be very hot – 37C.
Menindee, the site of recent fish kills in western New South Wales, is predicted to reach 48C on Friday.
We will bring you the latest on the Tasmanian bushfires and the ongoing heatwave tomorrow.
The heatwave has been hard on animals and humans alike. This image was sent to us by reader Andrew Correll.
The ABC is reporting South Australia’s emergency power generators have been switched on for the first time amid the ongoing heatwave.
It reports: “Temporary diesel power generators owned by the South Australian government have been switched on for the first time, as the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) deals with record-breaking heat conditions across SA and Victoria.
And here’s how far the heat will stretch tonight. There’s still a lot of 40C spots, as of right now, all across the country.
For context, the highest temperature ever recorded in Australia is 50.7C, at Oodnadatta airport in South Australia, on 2 January 1960.
At 49.5C, Port Augusta is now equal to the highest ever Queensland temperature, recorded on Christmas Eve 1972 at Birdsville police station, and only 0.2C below the highest NSW temperature – from 10 January 1939 at Menindee post office.
Port Augusta has already beaten the highest temperatures in Victoria, the Northern Territory and Tasmania.
We’ve already watched Port Augusta – the hottest place in Australia today – break its all-time heat record with 49.1C earlier in the day. The previous record was set just 10 days ago (48.9C).
Now it’s crept up again. Port Augusta has hit 49.5C, as of 4.22pm.
Hello everyone, Naaman Zhou here, taking over from my colleague Luke.
Some further clarification has come in on Adelaide’s record-breaking heat. It’s even hotter than you thought.
That 46.6C figure comes from the bureau’s official temperature gauge for the city, which is at West Terrace. Other parts of Adelaide, by the bureau’s own calculations, are in fact soaring up past that – but can’t be included as the maximum for Adelaide.
Kent Town, for example, has officially hit 47.4C today.
The mercury has continued to rise in Adelaide, which can now lay claim to being the hottest capital in Australia – at least for today.
Its peak temperature on Thursday of 46.6 has eclipsed the record held by Melbourne, which reached 46.4C.
A reminder that Melbourne is expected to drop to an “oppressive” 29C tonight. The overnight record is 30.6C.
The bureau has also revised its forecast up to 44C for tomorrow. As it stands, today’s forecast has also been blown out of the water. The top temperature in central Melbourne was 40.4C at 4pm, according to the bureau. It was only expected to reach 36C.

Ahmad Bey Daouk (in Arabic أحمد بيك الداعوق) was a Lebanese politician who on two occasions became Prime Minister of Lebanon. He was born in 1892 to the Daouk Family. He was the younger brother of Omar Bey Daouk, the Head of Beirut Vilayet that time (pre-Greater Lebanon) before the French Mandate of Lebanon. Daouk was known for being one of few men to ever serve as prime minister of Lebanon in the French Mandate of Lebanon and the First Republic of Lebanon (1943-1991). Sami Solh also served within these two periods.
Daouk was born in Ras Beirut in 1892. After completing his secondary studies in a French school in Beirut in 1910, Daouk went to France to continue his studies where he obtained a diploma in engineering from the National School of Arts and Crafts of Aix-en-Provence in 1914.
Daouk's notable career began in 1915 where he worked as an engineer at the Société Générale des Sucreries within the refinery industry of Egypt. In 1919 he was assigned personally by His Majesty King Hussein I of Hejaz, as his technical adviser and he was put in charge of the mining industry in Hejaz. Upon returning from Hejaz to Lebanon, Daouk was appointed by His Excellency Charles Debbas as both the Mayor of Beirut and Aley.
This was of course just 8 years after Omar Bey Daouk was the Mayor of Beirut and the head of Beirut Vilayet in 1918 before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Daouk was Mayor until 1941 until he was appointed as Prime Minister of Lebanon. In 1927 Daouk became an influential philanthropist in Beirut. Throughout this period Daouk was influential along other political figures in visioning Lebanon's independence carving the path towards it.
Daouk's first mandate was during the French Mandate when, after having served as Secretary of State for Public Works and Post Telephone and Telegraph earlier in 1941, he was appointed Prime Minister 1941 to 1942 during the rule of President Alfred Naqqache by the President of Lebanon. His first mandate was renowned for helping pave the way for Lebanon's independence, after he had stepped down from his role in 1942 increasing the pressure asserted on France's actions by the United Kingdom and the western powers.
In 1943, Daouk became the President of the National Congress of Lebanon right after he completed his term as Prime Minister, or what was called the President of Councils before 1943. In 1944 Daouk was chosen as the consul of Lebanon to France he would become an ambassador in 1953 and remain at that position within his diplomatic mission for another five years until his return in 1958. His diplomatic mission was widely supported by the Lebanese as he severely re-strengthened Lebanon's ties with France, while Camile Chamoun was shifting Lebanon's ties towards the United States. In 1958 Daouk was appointed ambassador to Spain where he strengthened the ties between Lebanon and Spain and promoted economic and political cooperation in various projects within Lebanon. A program was also launched to attract and re-invite the Lebanese diaspora that had left Lebanon earlier to Latin America. Daouk has also been a delegate of Lebanon in many conferences within the United Nations, Arab League and UNESCO. After his second mandate, Daouk became a director of the OGERO group, Lebanon's telecommunications company, he also had an intuitive role in real estate.
Upon the election of Fuad Chehab as President of Lebanon, he dissolved the Lebanese parliament on the 5th of May 1960. This forced Prime Minister Karami to resign later on the 14th of May 1960. On the 15th of May 1960, Daouk took initiative and formed an interim government while heading it as Prime Minister to hold back the increasing tensions in Lebanon during the political vacuum of the early 60s. The Lebanese Parliamentary elections were held and finalized by the 3rd of July 1960. Daouk's interim government granted 11 seats to Karami's party in the Chamber of Deputies whereas the independent politicians (of whom Daouk was one) were granted 41 out of 99 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. This paved the way for Saeb Salam's election later that year. In addition, Daouk was also Minister of National Defense and Minister of Finance during the initial 1960's. His policies were credible as they contributed to Lebanon's booming economy in the 1960s where the Lebanese were among the wealthiest 30 nations in the world.
In 1944 Daouk was chosen as the consul of Lebanon to France he would become an ambassador in 1953 and remain at that position within his diplomatic mission for another five years until his return in 1958. In 1958 Daouk was appointed ambassador to Spain where he strengthened the ties between Lebanon and Spain and promoted economic and political cooperation in various projects within Lebanon. A program was also launched to attract and re-invite the Lebanese diaspora that had left Lebanon earlier to Latin America. Daouk has also been a delegate of Lebanon in many conferences within the United Nations, Arab League and UNESCO. After his second mandate, Daouk became a director of the OGERO group, Lebanon's telecommunications company, he also had an intuitive role in real estate.

Cast iron waste pipes have been in use for over a hundred years. The average lifespan of cast iron waste pipes is about 50 to 75 years, depending on the quality of manufacturing. Standards for cast iron pipe have been around since the 1800’s, but they have been voluntary standards. Over the years, some companies competing for business have chosen to make an inferior product to cut costs. And so, we have a wide range of life expectancy.
To understand how cast iron waste pipes fail it is important to understand how they were made. The old method of casting pipe, called the “pit-cast” method, can leave variations in the thickness of the pipe walls. Waste running through the lines causes hydrogen sulfide gas to form. This can oxidize and produce sulfuric acid, which corrodes cast iron from the inside out. As the sulfuric acid eats away at the pipe these thinner areas become compromised first. Some drain cleaners also contain sulfuric acid and, if used continuously, can accelerate the corrosive action and further shorten the life of the cast iron pipes.
When examining cast iron waste pipes, you’ll typically find two different signs of failure. One is cracking that usually forms on top of the pipe or at a seam, created by the form used during the casting process. The other external indication of failure is blobs of rust, usually found on the underside of horizontal sections, but can appear on horizontal sections of pipe as well. The size of these blobs can range from little pimples, to the size of a walnut. These aren’t as obvious as cracks and can be overlooked because they don’t leak continuously. As the iron around a pinhole rusts, the iron expands and seals the leak. While they might not be actively leaking when discovered, it’s certainly a sign that internal corrosion has breached the wall of the pipe. When these signs of failure are found your cast iron waste pipes have neared the end of their serviceable life.

Climate change accelerates global warming and has thus become an increasing concern with need for prompt solutions. This process occurs due to increased atmospheric green house gas (GHG) emissions. The agro sector (crop and livestock agriculture) contributes 10 to 12% per year of the total global anthropogenic emission and tends to increase. Most agricultural GHG emissions are generated by intensively fertilized soils, enteric fermentation, and manure management. Remarkable GHG fluxes occurred from grasslands which occupy 69% of global agricultural land. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate and estimate GHG emissions in natural and abandoned grassland improved by managed fertilizing. Experimental data sets cover grassland (clay loam topsoil over silt loam, Calc(ar)i-Endohypogleyic Luvisol) abandoned more than 20 years, which has subsequently been fertilized with different rates of N and multiple NPK. Direct CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions were measured in differently studied treatments (semi-natural sward: Control (0), N60, N120, N180, N240, N180P120, N180K150, N60P40K50, and N180P120K150; cultural pasture: N180P120K150) during vegetation period (2009). Decreasing tendency of emission fluxes was determined during vegetation period and employing lower fertilizer rates. Therefore, appropriate fertilizing rate (N60P40K50) of extensive grassland should be considered for its mitigating impact on climate change.

In 2004, a group of health scientists found a way to deliver healthy, sustained energy to chemotherapy patients.
They developed and patented a powerful blend of antioxidants and essential vitamins that optimizes the body’s natural energy production at the cellular level. Because antioxidant molecules neutralize or "scavenge" free radicals to prevent and slow cell damage in the body, they called the formula FRS after these Free Radical Scavengers.
Studies have since shown that the patented FRS® Healthy Energy® formula works with the body to naturally enhance fitness performance, improve cognitive function and support the immune system. At the core of the patented FRS formula is one of the world’s most powerful antioxidants, quercetin (pronounced: kwur-si-tin) found in foods such as blueberries, apples and red grapes. The FRS formula uses the purest form of quercetin (QU995™). Green tea extract, another important antioxidant, works in synergy with quercetin and seven essential vitamins to maximize absorption and effectiveness.
Thanks to this pioneering research, we can all now benefit from energy products packed with healthy, high-quality ingredients instead of chemicals, sugar and large doses of caffeine to create short-lived energy spikes. Today FRS drinks, concentrates, soft chews and powders provide long-lasting natural energy to athletes, fitness buffs and anyone who wants to champion life.
Nothing else works like the patented FRS Healthy Energy formula to power your body from within.
Championing life at work, home and play.

What has become of the HDRI LIGHT STUDIO plug-in implementation?
This would plug a large gap in capabilities of Shot and Pro.
That is salutory news! I assume that this involved a license from Lightmap.
Do I need to purchase HDRI LIGHT STUDIO to get this to work in SHOT PRO or did you buy the license for me?
You need a license of HDRI Light Studio in order to run it when using the connection with Pro.
Thanks, it is "Official" then!
What is the timing of 2012.4 Pro and is the instantiation of HDRI Light Studio in the product limited in functionality in this release or is it total as depicted on their site?
Isn't it just an automatic update to Any single file? So each time you save the file (which actually takes a while) from HDR light studio, it automatically updates in bunkspeed once you return. Is that not correct?
If that Is correct, then you could also do the same thing with photoshop, or anything that can create a 32bit image and save it.
If it's a bit more 'live' than that, I'd love to see it in use. I have yet to manage to be able to purchase light studio since it's easy enough to create really similar results with just photoshop. It's not as easy, but with some practice, lighting with it isn't so bad.
I totally appreciate your thoughts, however, having once been a studio shooter in Chicago (Large Format): the metaphors used in Light Studio "speak" to me in a way that PS doesn't.
They have adopted all the "lingo" regarding illumination, falloff, positioning, etc. as well as spherical to planar mapping that is quite appealing. And the guy behind the product is really excellent.
Well I didn't say I don't Want it. I love the interface as well. But since I can't make better looking images with it, it's more difficult sell. The time improvements were nominal, and the quality wasn't noticeable. So as a sell, it's just making me happier, which my job will do....but that's lower on the list usually.
2012.4 has been out for about 3 months with the ability to live update content from HDR Light Studio, Photoshop etc. etc. It is a complete integration, however, we do have plans to improve it further and support several of the new features in Light Studio 3, such as their "live light" editing feature.
Hey, I like that news. I haven't used version 3, but version 1 and 2 at least were pretty darn slow for actually rendering the final image.
Hey guys check out my HDRI reflections now available for any application.
You don´t need any plugins since these are HDR files only.
I first made the pack for Cinema 4D few years ago.

You lost your period and your hair as well. Don't tell me this is healthy.
You lose your period because you loose your reproductive hormones with your way of eating. Congratulations, you are now sterile.
I’m a biologist. But you need no degree to know that menstruation is not a process meant to cleaning toxins out of your body for the baby to come. Menstruation is your body getting rid of the lining that forms in your uterus after ovulating without being fertilized. Humans do not absorb menstruation and loosing your period or getting it significantly lighter is a sign of malnutrition. If you are not going trough this process it means you have problems with the lining… see a doctor. If the menstruation is the way your body cleanse how male bodies do?… they have no menstruation so they don’t cleanse? Please reconsider your sources… No this is not the pharmaceutical industry trying to convince you or me about this to sell us stuff… is a reality… and I know it because I’m a scientist myself. I believe in facts… the way your body get rid of those “toxins” as you call it is trough the uretra in urine as part of the excretory system and periods are not part of it.
This is really good news. I wouldn't mind not having eggs to begin with.
god you look so disgusting !!
Please stop spreading false facts. This is very dangerous. It is never healthy when your period stops except in special circumstances like pregnancy or menopause. Please talk to your doctor and get a check up.
If you become a heroin addict your periods will disappear altogether.
Btw. The toddler brain needs large amounts of protein in order to grow optimally ( it may be very challenging to consume Larhe enough levels of protein via a purely vegan diet) as they can't eat such quantities. Persinally, do not recommend a vegan diet for very young plp ❤. Evolutionary history showd us that our brains started growing larger when we started consuming meats.
Hi! Love your amazing fruit vids. Just a curious question here please. How come nuts are not "human foods" but fruits are?
very true on all of this.
Oh my God,I can't believe how uneducated you are.First of all period IS NOT a way for the body to get rid of ANY toxins.This is done by your liver and kidneys.The menstrual bleeding you are experiencing every month is a NORMAL PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS which is controlled and caused by the HORMONAL CHANGES that take place in the body of every HEALTHY woman.Every month after an egg cell is released from one of you ovaries your UTERUS is preparing for a possible pregnancy by thickening its lining(which is also induced by HORMONES) so that the fertilezed egg is able to attach itself to it and develop into a fetus.When A PREGNANCY DOES NOT OCCUR your uterus doesn't need this thick lining anymore so IT GETS RID OF IT and you bleed.Then after you stop bleeding the lining of the uterus regenerates and everything starts all over again.THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE A PERIOD.Second of all,EDUCATE YOURSELF before posting videos on the internet regarding topics you appearently know nothing about.Because since you're expressing your ideas publically YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITY.A lot of young girls are watching you and being young they're easily impressed.And they might believe you and adopt an uhealthy life-style because of you,causing a DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES.Just because you BELIEVE something is true DOESN'T MEAN it is.SCIENCE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.Educate yourself for YOUR OWN GOOD(and for everybody else's).You are NOT HEALTHY.The fact that your period is only two days(while the minimum duration of a NORMAL period is THREE DAYS) is a sign that there is SOMETHING WRONG.PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF and go to the doctor.Best regards,a fith year medical student.
You are bleeding less because of malnutrition. Women bleed for a reason. You are misleading EVERYONE.
IF YOU LOST YOUR PERIOD OR ITS GETTING SHORTER, SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!
Am I the only one on my period rn stuffing my face with chocolate. Lol. But girl I wish I could eat as heathy as you!
I would think that if you don't get enough items like IRON, MINERALS etc to have healthy, strong blood it may be affecting your cycle for building lining, blood gorged to host a fetus attachment. When that doesn't happen then your bidy eliminates the lining excess blood. Then start to build it up again… starting cycle over again. If your body is not building lining and blood nourishments to host and feed a fetus. Chances are if someone got pregnant there would not be strong attached lining, nor nourishment and would miscarry. You are getting older so maybe early menopause or could be diet related for any items that may be missing. You are happy and does not effect your lifestyle so that is a good thing. Currently woman who are eating in markets foods, prepackaged, prepared and resturants are getting poisions in greater amounts and GMO's that effect their organs, health and has Toxic Glyphosate. Sadly miscarriages and multiple losses of pregnancy is happening due to the fact. Check Toxicity of Vaccines and flu shots as well for effect. Be Blessed and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Nuts and seeds are not a human food? Im missing out something…can somebody explain?
Disappointed and disgusted with you and this attempt at an informative video. This was irresponsible for you to post. Not all women who lose their periods are anorexic. It's normal to lose your period after significant dietary changes or changes in weight. I have friends who lost theirs for years after going raw only to have it return more normal than ever. You should go back to foraging fruit and stop playing doctor about topics that are clearly beyond you.
Is this a joke??? Period is your body flushing out waste??? Kids, please stay at school.
the only time I lost my period is when I was heavily abusing illegal drugs..my body fat fell below 15% ..that's when any woman will stop ovulating..even athletes. it came back when I cleaned my act up and maintained a healthy weight. A cycle like that may be fine for your lifestyle..if you were trying for children I'd definitely consult with a doctor before trying.
Periods, and child birth for that matter, are not meant to be as painful and gruesome as we've been made to believe and experience. When I did raw for 2 months, which included a couple of fruit fasts with botanical extracts, my energy and clarity of mind was like nothing I had experienced before. And my Period? Even though it was just a short 2 months, I already noticed a huge change in my pms symptoms (almost nonexistent) and my period was easier and lighter. You are NOT malnourished if your period gets lighter, avocados and coconuts and more are a beautiful source of healthy fats. Avocados are representative of fertility. I can't wait when I'm in the place and have the means to eat high raw again. Question everything people. Having a heavy gory painful period prefaced by a crazy pms phase is not a sign of health, it's the contrary. Unfortunately in this world, a lot of things are actually the opposite of what we've been taught. The truth has been hidden from us, but you can find it.

The next big step in computing and interaction?
I recently attended an Intel Game Dev Meetup at Microsoft’s German dependency in Cologne. Main attraction was Intel’s new suite of sensor enabled camera modules, which While devices with integrated front and rear cameras, touchscreen and touch-based gestures and movements became mainstream in human-computer interaction, computers will now become a lot more emotional and interaction will be even more natural.

NEO Global Development has released version 2.10.1 of its node client neo-cli. The update includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes discovered during the testing of the previous version.
Although v2.10.0 included dBFT 2.0 with improvements to prevent block forks, testing revealed the changes could cause liveness to be impaired with stalls occurring under certain conditions. A series of changes were submitted and worked on by the NEO core development team, resulting in improvements for v2.10.1 designed to further increase the reliability of NEO’s consensus protocol.
NEO co-founder Erik Zhang also submitted changes designed to improve the performance of NeoVM, which is responsible for executing smart contracts. Improvements to the virtual machine reduce the computational overhead of operations on the network, helping to increase transaction throughput.
Zhang also provided a solution for a bug in the getblock and getblockhash RPC commands, which could produce a normal response instead of an error message if incorrect input parameters were used.
The v2.10.1 release also included new commands and settings. The ability to close an open wallet was added, alongside a new RPC command that requests a list of plugins installed on the queried node.
This command was notable due to the increasing importance of plugins and the need for users to know which nodes have which plugins. As an example, the SimplePolicy plugin is required to ensure that an RPC node will not hold transactions in its mempool that are considered invalid by the network.
The full changelog for the release may be found here.

Forget David Cameron's Wind Turbine, the Big Clunking Chancellor has unveiled his own environmental gimmick, the zero carbon home. He doesn't intend to live in one himself - 10, Downing Street will never be carbon neutral - but he wants all new homes to be "zero carbon" by 2016.
It's a nice idea, and one which has been tried in south London, by the Peabody Trust housing association, which built a small estate of 82 supposedly carbon neutral homes there a few years ago.
They were built with super-insulating walls, south facing to take advantage of natural light, sealed against drafts with a heat exchanging ventilation system, water harvesting systems, solar panels and, of course, wind turbines. They were to be the houses of the future.
Unfortunately, four years on, there have been problems. Electricity and hot water for the site were supposed to have been supplied a wood-burning combined Heat and Power generator which, it was promised, would provide all the electricity and hot water that residents would need.
It soon became clear that there wasn't enough hot water, and gas boilers had to be installed. Then, last year, the CHP generator stopped working completely, and BedZed has had to buy electricity from the national grid. A new CHP generator is now being installed.
BedZed also installed an state of the art eco-sewage system, which would clean waste water by running it through a reed bed. Very green, but unfortunately this happened to flater as well, something the site's founder, architect Bill Dunster, blames on "management problems", and promises that it is about to get going again.
There are also arguments between the architect and the environmental consultants about just how much carbon has been saved by all this effort. There are other difficulties, like the hidden environmental costs in the construction of all this kit, but that's another thing the eco-warriors would rather not discuss.
But to be fair to BedZed, it is a pioneering exercise, and you wouldn't necessarily expect it all to work first time.
A more serious problem is cost. The Government recently published a helpful table of basic green technologies for the home, showing how much they cost, and how long it would take to pay them back. Solar water heating, which costs on average £2,625, and saves you just £48 a year, would take 97 years to recoup its costs.
Photovoltaic electricity, from the sun, costs £9,844 on average and would save you £212 a year, so you've paid off the loan in 54 years. A wind turbine apparently pays for itself in 10 years.
But even these figures make assumptions about the price of electricity, and also about the price that you can sell extra electricity back to the power company at, when you generate more than you need. In Britain, this is unregulated, so companies can and do pay widely varying rates, some of which are ridiculously low.
There is also a substantial cost implication involved in building a super-insulated house in the first place, which is why there aren't many of them around. BedZed was essentially subsidised by the Peabody Trust, and by the local council, which sold the land at a cut price rate.
Even the architects who built BedZed believe that zero carbon homes are only currently commercially viable with help from the local planning authority. If the planners will allow eco-friendly houses to be built closer together, allowing a developer to build more houses on a piece of land, then that might offset the extra building costs.
They suggest that the building costs - before profit, and all the extras include wind turbines, plumbing, boiler, electrics etc - would be between £120,000 and £140,000 for relatively small houses say £85,000 for a conventional structure. And that's before you've even factored in the cost of the land, the most expensive single item on this crowded island. They'd have to be substantially subsidised to be a realistic proposition.
His initiative is also missing the point. Carbon free homes may be a wonderful dream for the future, but most of us live in existing houses, and at the current rate of replacement, 70 per cent of the existing housing stock will still be around in 2050.
The Government does have a grant scheme to help with these. This year it contained the princely sum of £6.5 million, and ran out half way through the year. Pathetic.
So the Chancellor's zero carbon homes are, for the foreseeable future, nothing but a giant green photo opportunity - a gimmick which will have virtually no environmental impact at all.

Tam Piyawadi Jantrupon is the owner and instructor of . She uses the home where she was born and grew up to share her love of Thai cooking. The area is surrounded with homes of relatives dating back for more that 3 generations.
The school is located in the old Bangkok area next to the canal. This area is suitable for growing vegetables and Thai herbs used in teaching and flavoring Thai dishes. Tam’s love for Thai culture, arts and cooking started in this home where she watched her grandmother and aunts prepare authentic meals from picking vegetables from the garden to various steps of preparation. Both of her relatives were the teachers at the first official home science school in Thailand, “Home Science Secondary School”. With a passion of cooking, Tam had additional training and education from a culinary school and famous Thai food masters whenever she could find time to improve her skill for Thai dishes.
Following completion of her bachelor’s degree in Law from Thammasat University, she was employed as Legal officer at Tourism Authority of Thailand for several years. As a spouse of a Thai official, she has spent considerable time abroad. In the 1980’s, Tam lived in Los Angeles, and had the opportunity to cook for the Thai community and diplomats. She was asked to teach Thai cooking to American families and friends, who were amazed at how simple, easy and delicious the dishes were. This was the starting point of her interest to teach and share her knowledge of cooking. While living abroad, Tam creatively sought substitutes for local spices in order to achieve an authentic Thai taste.
Graduated from the Fashion Institute and Design and Merchandising and worked for few years with a fashion firm in Los Angeles.
Experienced performer of Thai mask dancing or Ramayana Plays and Thai classical dance.
A collector of Thai arts, antiques and objects.
Spends her free time playing Thai musical instruments such as ranard ….
Tam’s philosophy is to share her experience of true Thai home cooking in a relaxing environment. The school is surrounded by herbs and fruit garden along a canal, in the midst of a true Thai lifestyle and culture.

Prior to sanding, ensure that the surface is clean and well degreased. Loose and water soluble dirt may be removed with (warm) water and ammonia. By degreasing before sanding, grease and contamination will not by sanded deeper into the sanding scratches. Degreasing should exclusively be done with multiple clean (paper) towels.
TIP: Turn and replace (paper) towel regularly. Allow sufficient time to evaporate and the surface to fully dry.
Take personal precautions when degreasing and wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.

Nipsey Hussle’s family and friends mourned the late rapper during a private viewing ‒ one day ahead of the Staples Center celebration of his life with tens of thousands of fans.
Close loved ones packed the Angelus Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon on Crenshaw Blvd. Nipsey’s brother, Samiel Asghedom, was among the attendees at the super secret service.
TMZ reported that security was tight. Several men had a checklist to make sure only invited guests‒ Nipsey’s inner circle‒ were allowed entry.
That procession will be preceded by Nipsey’s Celebration of Life, hosted at Staples Center for 21,000 fans, family and friends. As we reported‒ the free tickets were gobbled up within minutes and AXS, which handled ticket distribution, says it’s cracking down on scalpers.
The event will be heavily guarded‒ with help from LAPD, members of the Nation of Islam as well as Staples Center Personnel.
Meanwhile, tons of fans have continued paying tribute outside Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing store‒ leaving candles, flowers and messages in the parking lot.

Host Mark Naismith had a hankering for bubbles so we assembled a set of less-than-mainstream sparkling wines with a focus on some grower's Champagne.
For fun and out of curiosity, we included a top-of-the-line Cremant de Bourgogne which we felt would compete favorably and we had a Piemontese bubbly from a grower/winemaker.
One wine finished well ahead of the pack and one wine was a solid second place finisher. The third place through last place, however, were relatively closely ranked and there was no significant difference between third place and 8th place!
Medium straw in color, I found a toasty, smoky, creamy fragrance to this wine. It seemed to show some age, as though it had been disgorged a few years ago. Some tasters mentioned detecting some wood and they may be correct, as this producer does hold some 'reserve' wines in oak for blending back into their base wine. The nose was one I found quite distinctive and very attractive and the wine didn't disappoint on the palate. It was fairly full bodied and rich, creamy, toasty and yet elegant. I found it to make quite a statement...others, not so much. Two+ stars from me.
We had found this wine to be worthy of comparison with Champagnes, as it's the top cuvee from a highly-respected sparkling wine specialist in Burgundy. The wine is entirely Chardonnay and I found a nicely stony aspect to the aromas, with a mildly toasty note from the yeast. Good intensity of the Chardonnay and its accompanying minerality with tangy acidity adding to its 'attack' on the palate. Very fine. One-and-a-half stars.
We're big fans of Geoffroy's exceptional rose Champagne, but this wine didn't have the same level of excitement for us. The wine was light straw in color and its nose was somewhat candied with a smoky, almost smoggy fragrance. The candied elements came through on the palate and made this a less attractive bottle.
4th place: BENOIT LAHAYE Blanc de Noirs CHAMPAGNE "Prestige"
Nicely bubbly, light straw in color, this wine offers a lightly toasty note on the nose and seemed to be 'classically' Champagne. It's quite dry and crisp, with medium+ body. The flavors seemed more complex than most and the wine was beautifully balanced in terms of acidity. There's a lightly stony, minerally note on the finish of this fairly lengthy bubbly. Two stars+.
Medium straw in color with good effervescence, this was bright, fresh, appley and lightly toasty on the nose. It's dry and has crisp, tangy acidity. Between the fine bubbly quality of this and its proper level of acidity, the wine comes across the palate as especially zesty and lively. Very fine! Two stars.
Clear in appearance and with a straw to brassy color, this wine seems to focus mostly on its yeasty fragrances. It shows a fair bit of time on the spent yeast and the fragrance is classically "Champagne." Dry and nicely acidic, this is a medium-bodied Brut with lots of biscuity, yeasty notes. Fresh and quite crisp...very nice. One-and-a-half stars.

then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad!
Some of the words and phrases we commonly use come straight from the book of Leviticus. Words such as jubilee and scapegoat are commonly used today. And what husband hasn’t offered a form of guilt offering to his wife!
Leviticus does have important things to tell us about sin, obedience and holiness. Perhaps most importantly it tells of God dwelling with His people.
The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who died when they approached the LORD. The LORD said to Moses: ‘Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.
‘This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: he must first bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. He is to put on the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash round him and put on the linen turban. These are sacred garments; so he must bathe himself with water before he puts them on. From the Israelite community he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
‘Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He is to cast lots for the two goats – one lot for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat. Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the LORD and sacrifice it for a sin offering. But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.
The High Priest - Aaron!
Leviticus 18:1-5 - Be Holy!
Leviticus 19:9-18 – Be Good Neighbours!
It is also wise, not to see them as merely a list of “not do” statements, but also as “do statements”. Rather, we should see them as a love letter from a God who wants to save His people from distress and anxiety in order to give them a life of peace, unity, health and a joyful life in all its fullness.
All these laws were to lead ancient Israel to be a holy nation. Holiness was about being set apart for a purpose and making wise, conscious decisions about what was right or wrong. It involved being obedient to God and keeping His decrees and regulations. Being holy, involved having a lifestyle, which was contrary to the cultures surrounding them. To be holy was a lifestyle choice of worship, to reflect their holy God. They were called to be loyal! Called to be distinct! Called to worship! What has all this got to do with us? Where does the Day of Atonement and these laws fit into the life of a Christian in the 21st century?
Lets now, quickly compare the Levitical Sacrifices and Jesus’ Sacrifices!
Performed repeatedly by earthly priests who stood.
Their work was unending as they laboured on earth and their sacrifices could never take away sin.
Jesus now sits at God’s right hand in power and glory with His earthly work complete.
His sacrifice achieved its goal of fulfilment and made his followers holy!
At the cross of Jesus Christ on Calvary, the Old Covenant was fulfilled and the New Covenant ushered in!
As a Christian, the Holy Spirit is living inside you, changing and transforming you into the very image of the holy one, Jesus Christ. Your transformation into that image of Jesus Christ, is the greatest evidence, not only of the work of the Holy Spirit but also of you being a Christian living an obedient life to God.
As a Christian, you are no longer an enemy of God but a friend of God and belong to God! As Christians, we are to live a life of obedience to God – casting off all that hinders and seeks to stop us. And if we fall into disobedience, we can confess our sin to the Father, through the name of the Son and in the power of the Spirit and get right back up again, knowing we are forgiven – totally amazing!
As instruments in God’s orchestra of joy, we are to be loyal to Him – the joy giver! We are to obey with joyful, effervescent vigour and reflect a living God to a society out there, which is in darkness. They will know we are Christians by the way we act – actions of obedience to God, signified by the love we have for each other and them. Love in action by supplying people’s needs, both on an individual and church basis.
We are called to follow God and not to succumb to the temptations, which seek to mar our relationship with the God who lives inside us. Let's go willingly to obey and serve the Lord with faithful obedience!
G'day and welcome to Partakers! Welcome also to Monday and our Think Spot together!
We look today at an aspect of being instruments in God’s orchestra of joy - obedient service!
So, please turn in your bibles to Leviticus 9:22 and let us witness together a scene of great and exuberant joy!
This covenant was only in place until the Messiah came and made the perfect sacrifice. All the Old Testament Covenants pointed towards the time when the Saviour Messiah would come – God would come Himself to save His people! The Mosaic Covenant was never meant as a means towards salvation. It was given that they could realize the helplessness of their own efforts to save themselves and their need of God's help. One day, there would be a New Covenant between God and humanity and this Mosaic covenant would be fulfilled!
· God will write His law on the hearts of people.
· God will be their God, and they will be His people.
As Christians, as part of our life of true Joy, we are called to serve and minister. We are called to exhibit and show our true Joy - just as Aaron and his family were called into a lifetime of obedient service to Jehovah God. Their JOY motto was to be “Jehovah Over Yourself”. For us, true joy is to be “Jesus Over Yourself”. Each of us here tonight is called to perform a unique serving and ministerial function.
And we are not left alone to serve in our own power! We would most certainly fail if that was the case! God Himself has lovingly equipped all those who follow Him, to serve! God the Holy Spirit, who lives inside each believer, has endowed each Christian with gifts, talents and abilities for that purpose - service! This is so that the whole church is built up and “that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” God wants you and I to be active in service – life long service hallmarked by loving obedience to Him, which reflects our joyful dedication to Him, to His praise, honour and glory!
Our first e-book is released! God's Two Words For You!

Talent demands are shifting - in quantity, specificity and regional demand. This overview previews the 2010 labor and talent survey by Manpower.
You will see in the shifts from 2009 to 2010 that the business cycle has changed. The emphasis in heavier, now, on SALES and INSTALLATION -- that means that business is picking up and companies have shifted from reengineering processes to marketing, sales and implementation.
Although the current global economic situation has increased the number of overall job seekers in labor markets worldwide, there is still a notable talent shortage in many countries and industry sectors. So the immediate problem is not the number of potential candidates. Rather, it is a talent mismatch: There are not enough sufficiently skilled people in the right places at the right times. Simultaneously, employers are seeking ever more specific skill sets and combinations of skills – not just technical capabilities alone, but perhaps in combination with critical thinking skills or other qualities that will help drive the company forward. As a result, the “right” person for a particular job is becoming much harder to find. And the problem shows no signs of easing.
Manpower has released the results of its annual Manpower Talent Shortage Survey, revealing persistent talent shortages in many countries and industry sectors.
In the U.S., 14% of employers reported having difficulty filling key positions within their organization, down from 19% in 2009.
Worldwide, 31% of employers are experiencing challenges finding the right talent, similar to the 2009 figure of 30%.
The most difficult U.S. jobs to fill are Skilled Trades, Sales Representatives, Nurses and Technicians.
These job titles have appeared on the U.S. survey in past years and closely mirror the global results of the survey this year.
The top hardest jobs to fill globally are Skilled Trades, Sales Representatives, Technicians and Engineers, according to the survey of more than 35,000 employers across 36 countries, which included 2,000 U.S. employers. Significantly, these are the same top jobs that employers have reported struggling to fill for the past four years, suggesting that there is an ongoing, systemic global shortage in these areas.
Vacancies for Technicians are the most difficult to fill for the third year in succession. After not appearing among the top 10 hard-to-fill positions in the 2009 survey, employers are identifying Driver positions as the ninth most difficult to fill.
Asia Pacific Talent Demands are UP!
Nearly 9,000 employers were interviewed in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan. Data shows that 41 percent of the region’s employers are having difficulty filling positions due to the lack of suitable talent available in their markets. This is a notable nine percentage point increase when compared to the 2009 survey and is 10 percentage points greater than the global average.
Employers identified vacancies for Sales Representatives as the most difficult to fill for the fifth year in succession. Sales Manager positions and Production Operator positions have become increasingly difficult to fill, the former moving from 13th place in 2008 and 2009 to eighth place in this year’s survey, and the latter moving from 10th place in 2008 and 2009 to sixth place in this year’s survey.
Manpower's publication, "Teachable Fit: A New Approach for Easing the Talent Mismatch" offers advice for employers to broaden their search for candidates to include industry migrants, location migrants, role changers and workforce entrants.
Training and development are key to successfully tapping into these talent pools.
"By broadening their search for talent in untapped pools, employers can leverage candidates that may not be a precise fit but instead are a 'teachable fit'," added Prising. "Mastery of technical skills, while still important, matters less. Employers need to look for individuals that possess the capacity, capability and motivation to learn new skills in the future."
A variety of factors contribute to these survey results, such as demographic shifts, social customs, education and entrepreneurial practices.
These factors can combine to make the talent challenge somewhat different for each nation and region. But one thing is universal – the underlying reasons for talent shortages are here to stay.
Once economic recovery takes hold worldwide, the talent mismatch that is evident today will be even harder for organizations to overcome.
Furthermore, the skill sets that organizations are requiring are becoming ever more specific and refined, thus making finding the perfect candidate even more difficult. For example, organizations in need of accountants often require accountants with even more specialized skill sets, such as forensic accountants, accountants specializing in troubled debt restructuring or those familiar with International Financial Reporting Standards.
It is imperative, therefore, that employers recalibrate their mindsets to consider candidates who may not have all of the specific skills a job requires. This is especially true for systemic shortages of in-demand roles: Employers cannot address these shortages one hire at a time.
Employers must refine job descriptions and candidate evaluations to identify people with “teachable fit” based on adjacent skills rather than traditional fit.
At the same time, they must also commit to reskilling and upskilling employees, new hires and even potential candidates by partnering with governments and other stakeholders.
The complete global results of the Manpower Talent Shortage Survey and Fresh Perspectives Paper, Teachable Fit: A New Approach for Easing the Talent Mismatch, can be downloaded at Manpower.

The digital age has provided us with many innovations both in the audio and video world over the past several years. The most dramatic and accessible improvements have been in the video domain with the advent of affordable high definition displays and a wide variety of high definition material courtesy of HD broadcasts and the Blu-ray format. The HD standard brings with it a new set of performance parameters that need to be optimized in order to unlock the full potential of HD video. In order to optimize your TV or projector you will need to use appropriate calibration material.
For the better part of the last two decades, various video calibration discs have been available for this purpose, starting with the original Video Essentials disc on the now defunct laser disc format. This original NTSC test disc was brought to us by video guru Joe Kane who, in conjunction with Joel Silver, helped establish a set of video standards that evolved into what is now known as the ISF or Imaging Science Foundation. The mandate for ISF is to optimize the performance of video displays in the home environment with a significant boost in picture quality as well as prolonging the life of our video displays. Back in the day of analog NTSC televisions, standard definition broadcasts and VHS tape, the benefits derived from proper calibration were still clear for all to see. Our old TVs were big and clunky because they were based on a vacuum tube with phosphors painted on the inside of the screen that were excited by an electron gun. Proper calibration of these designs not only improved performance but also prolonged the life of the TV as all TV sets had incorrect settings out of the box. The TVs’ images needed to jump out at the consumer on the brightly lit retail sales floor so manufacturers had the contrast or white levels set very high. Leaving the TV in this mode meant the phosphors were literally being burnt off at a rapid pace, shortening the optimal performance capability of the TVs by a significant margin. Remember the dull, washed out images one experienced on our TVs after a few years?
Fast forward to the late ’90s and the incredible jump in home video performance brought to us courtesy of the DVD format. Our TVs were still NTSC and analog but the improvements in picture and sound quality from the DVD were phenomenal, making the DVD the most rapidly adopted new format in the history of the electronics industry. The Video Essentials DVD and Avia DVD calibration discs made their appearance providing an even more precise tool to optimize our video displays. The goal was to achieve as film-like an image as possible given the superior encoding capabilities of the DVD format.
The next logical step was to develop new display technologies as the DVD format exceeded the capabilities of most tube based TVs. We simply were not seeing all the potential benefits of the digital software. Plasma televisions provided the first digital video display technology available for the home viewer with LCD and DLP technologies following shortly thereafter. The displays were prohibitively expensive but for the few early adopters the benefits were huge. Proper calibration of digital displays again resulted in huge improvements in picture quality and extended their lifespan especially for the phosphor based plasmas. But we were still dealing with the 480 i/p NTSC standard DVD. Now the software had to catch up to the digital display’s 720p/768p capabilities.
As we strolled into the new millennium it was out with the old NTSC format and in with the new ATSC HD standard. High definition 720p/1080i broadcasts via cable, satellite and over the air transmissions meant we could finally experience digital video with cutting edge performance. Today we are on the verge of phasing out the NTSC format and finally on the doorstep of full digital and HD display standard. Try to find an old style analog tube based TV in a retail environment these days, not that you would want to!
Which brings us to the present day with full 1080p TVs, the Blu-ray format and, of course, new 1080p Blu-ray calibration discs.
In this review, we’ll take a look at the most recently released Blu-ray based calibration disc from Stacey Spears and Don Munsil, the Spears and Munsil High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition. Mastered at 1080p with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio audio options, this is the most user friendly and accurate 1080p calibration disc that we have used to date. Do I have your attention yet?
Having the experience of calibrating video displays over the last twenty years I can sympathize with the average enthusiast when it comes to trying to figure out how in the world one uses the test patterns in conjunction with the video displays controls to achieve the desired result. This has been the main failure of all previous calibration discs. They were difficult to navigate through the menu options and once one located the desired test pattern there was little guidance as to how to properly utilize the pattern and the TV’s controls.
The Spears and Munsil disc surprised us with a series of new test patterns that we have never seen before. The patterns are easily accessible via the on-screen menu and are logically laid out in the proper sequence. Most importantly the disc comes with a small, well written manual that clearly explains how to use every test pattern found on the disc. This is a tool anyone with an interest in optimizing their video display can use, not just those that have calibration training.
The video display used for this review was a Mitsubishi HC4900 LCD 1080p front projector firing onto an 80-inch screen with a PS3 as the source connected via HDMI. We had previously calibrated the projector with a Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics Blu-ray calibration disc. The room lights were turned off and the projector was already set to the warm colour temperature setting. All “enhancement” settings were previously defeated so as to provide a clean slate for calibration.
The two key elements that need to be accurately set are the contrast and brightness settings on your display’s controls. The contrast (or gain) setting establishes the correct white level of the image. The brightness (or bias) setting controls the black level of the picture. Inaccurate black and white levels result in inaccurate levels of grey from pure white to pure black which in turn means incorrect colour rendition. The Spears and Munsil disc provides two different patterns for setting black levels, a PLUGE Low and High. PLUGE stands for Picture Line-Up Generator, a long established pattern used for setting accurate levels on displays. These were very simple to use with a detailed set of instructions guiding me what to look for. Our original settings required just a slight decrease in the brightness level.
Once black levels were set we now moved onto the first truly unique pattern used to set contrast or white levels. The pattern consisted of a series of numbered black and white bars as well as two ramps going from black to white and back to black again and vice versa. This pattern showed how inaccurate our previous test disc was in setting white levels. The contrast level needs to be adjusted until ALL the numbered white bars are visible. Our previous settings allowed for only a third of the bars to be visible, meaning that our display was clipping or essentially merging the highest levels of white into one white blob. We popped the DVE test disc in again as we were shocked at the variance. The DVE calibration disc was substantially off relative to the Spears and Munsil test pattern. We went from a -2 setting of contrast to a -12! Since the contrast and brightness settings interact with each other, we again verified that the black levels were correct and we moved to the next pattern.
Viewing both the standard SMPTE and HD SMPTE bars showed that our original colour settings were accurate. These patterns also test the tint or hue settings and again they were bang on.
The next pattern again represented a large variance from the old settings. The sharpness control is often the most abused and misunderstood pattern as individuals think more is better or sharper in this case. The opposite usually holds true as most displays benefit from the sharpness being turned down from the factory setting. The sharpness control when increased will add a halo effect around solid lines which is detrimental to the overall image quality. Our previous setting of 0 had to be further reduced to -5 as this unique sharpness pattern clearly showed ghosting around the solid lines at the old setting. This was the fastest sharpness calibration we have ever undertaken as it usually takes a lot of peering up close to the screen to determine halos or ghosting. Very impressive!
These first six patterns are the fundamental patterns that are used in conjunction with your display’s brightness, contrast, tint and sharpness controls to effectively calibrate your display. The remaining patterns on this disc are used to fine-tune and evaluate your display and your Blu-ray player.
Among these, is a unique Clipping pattern, which shows whether your display or player is capable of rendering the full range of luma or white and Red, Green & Blue(RGB). The instructions state that a slight adjustment of the contrast would help offset any clipping issues.
The Image Cropping pattern lets you know if all 1080 x 1920 pixels are being displayed. Check to see if your “Overscan” feature is turned off on the display if you are encountering pixel cropping.
Chroma Alignment is next up with a pattern that utilizes crosshairs distributed around the screen that should be pure white with no colour fringing.
The Dynamic Range (both high and low) is determined in the next two patterns ensuring that full dynamic range of the signal is being processed by the display and delivered by the player to the display respectively. Again the instructions are clear and concise as to how to adjust the display accordingly.
The final pattern that allows for fine-tuning is the 11 Step Crossed Gray Scale pattern. All 11 levels should be clearly visible and adjusting contrast will fine-tune your gray scale rendition.
There are also a series of luma and chroma patterns for resolution and bandwidth evaluation with the first section of patterns ending with Geometry patterns enabling you to verify that your display is not distorting the image (handy for aligning front projectors) and a unique Picture In Picture geometry pattern verifying accurate PIP performance.
The next two chapters involve patterns designed to evaluate your display’s capability to de-interlace standard and HD material. Also included are test patterns with video material interspersed with film (i.e. titles or captions present on film based source material) as well as the edge adaptive deinterlacing capabilities. Again, this section is clearly explained, simple to comprehend and is effective in evaluating your display and your video source.
There is a brief audio section that allows for evaluation of PCM, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio but the main focus of this disc is on video performance.
The Spears and Munsil High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition is exactly as stated, a true benchmark for all other calibration discs. Our projector has never looked better with a more 3D and film-like image with absolutely no viewing fatigue in a pitch black room, a major improvement over the previous calibration settings. This is a disc for anyone who owns a 1080p display and wishes to attain maximum performance with minimum headache. Very highly recommended!

Update (June 2010): It was just brought to our attention that the Spears & Munsil disc now comes supplied with a blue calibration filter (at 1X, 2X, and 3X) to help adjust the colour and tint controls of your display.

Eager buyers formed long lines Friday at Apple Inc. stores in Asia, Europe and North America to be the first to get their hands on the latest version of the smartphone.
In London, some shoppers had camped out for a week in a queue that snaked around the block. In Hong Kong, the first customers were greeted by staff cheering, clapping, chanting "iPhone 5! iPhone 5!" and high-fiving them as they were escorted one-by-one through the front door.
The smartphone will be on sale in the U.S. and Canada hours after its launch in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Britain, France and Germany. It will launch in 22 more countries a week later. The iPhone 5 is thinner, lighter, has a taller screen, faster processor, updated software and can work on faster "fourth generation" mobile networks.
The handset has become a hot seller despite initial lukewarm reviews and new map software that is glitch prone. Apple received 2 million orders in the first 24 hours of announcing its release date, more than twice the number for the iPhone 4S in the same period when that phone launched a year ago.
Some fans went to extremes to be among the first buyers by arriving at Apple's flagship stores day ahead of the release.
In downtown Sydney, Todd Foot, 24, showed up three days early to nab the coveted first spot. He spent about 18 hours a day in a folding chair, catching a few hours' sleep each night in a tent on the sidewalk.
Foot's dedication was largely a marketing stunt, however. He writes product reviews for a technology website that will give away the phone after Foot reviews it.
"I just want to get the phone so I can feel it, compare it and put it on our website," he said while slumped in his chair.
In Paris, the phone launch was accompanied by a workers' protest -- a couple dozen former and current Apple employees demonstrated peacefully to demand better work benefits. Some decried what they called Apple's transformation from an offbeat company into a multinational powerhouse.
But the protesters -- urged by a small labor union to demonstrate at Apple stores around France -- were far outnumbered by lines of would-be buyers on the sidewalk outside the store near the city's gilded opera house.
Not everyone lining up at the various Apple stores was an enthusiast, though. In Hong Kong, university student Kevin Wong, waiting to buy a black 16 gigabyte model for 5,588 Hong Kong dollars ($720), said he was getting one "for the cash." He planned to immediately resell it to one of the numerous grey market retailers catering to mainland Chinese buyers. China is one of Apple's fastest growing markets but a release date for the iPhone 5 there has not yet been set.
Wong was required to give his local identity card number when he signed up for his iPhone on Apple's website. The requirement prevents purchases by tourists including mainland Chinese, who have a reputation for scooping up high-end goods on trips to Hong Kong because there's no sales tax and because of the strength of China's currency. Even so, the mainlanders will probably buy it from the resellers "at a higher price -- a way higher price," said Wong, who hoped to make a profit of HK$1,000 ($129).
Tokyo's glitzy downtown Ginza district not only had a long line in front of the Apple store, but another across the main intersection at Softbank, the first carrier in Japan to offer iPhones.
Hidetoshi Nakamura, a 25-year-old auto engineer, said he's an Apple fan because it's an innovator.
"I love Apple," he said, standing near the end of a two-block-long line, reading a book and listening to music on his iPod.
"It's only the iPhone for me."

Our product- SuperWheel using our patent pending ‘Weight(mass) to energy conversion technology to improve cycling efficiency is the only alternative to electric power assistance, such as the E-bike , E-wheel or the E-power conversion kit.
The power assisted SuperWheel is 100% human powered, does not need a battery, therefore there’s no need to be consuming electricity today and no electronic waste in future.
The product is convenient to use, environmentally friendly and there’s no regular recharge of a battery needed, no range limit to worry & no big bill to replace the battery every few years.
The company was launched in 2016.
Commuters cycle to work or school, or cyclists that enjoy cycling without the hard work on leisure & recreational uses.
Imagine tourists cycling around Dublin on the SuperWheel viewing all the amazing attractions, SuperWheel will give them a much more comfortable journey and will leave them feeling a lot more refreshed afterwards compared to a standard bike.
People who care about the environment, choose not to consume the electricity today and without the electronic waste in future.
To build a business it is long and challenging but can be a very rewarding journey. It will require a long-term plan and a short/medium strategy to overcome problems/potential problems in each stages.
There are good business support and development structures here in Ireland, such as the New Frontiers program, an excellent entrepreneur development program by Enterprise Ireland. Talk to your Local Enterprise Office for advice.
The team is made up of myself Simon Chan, Charlie Fegan, Colleen Murray and Oisin Murphy. I am the founder and Charlie’s the co. founder of the SuperWheel and does the manufacturing of the wheel. Colleen does the marketing and works on all our social media sites, and Oisin helps with the promotion and marketing also.
I prefer people to call me Simon. My passion to develop a new bicycle began when I was a teenager. I believe that the development of bike technology must be based on fully utilizing human generated power and I have spent years researching and developing this technology. My other inventions including a high efficiency bike pedal that has successfully completed the proof of principle testing with the University of Ulster in 2013 and is currently licensed for manufacture.
Engineering is Charlie’s passion, He is a creative and experienced engineer who loves exploring new technology and has been a partner in an engineering company for the past 19 years.
We are currently running a crowdfunding campaign in Indiegogo, https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/superwheel-revolutionary-power-assistance-system#/ and we hope to raise enough money complete the production model development and start the manufacturing process.
We are working on the production model development, the improvement of aerodynamic design and the reduction of weight. We are initially launch the 700c model which is suitable to use on both road & hybrid bikes with 700mm, 27 & 28’’ wheels.
We would like to extend our product range to all sizes for different type of bikes in future. In addition, we also working on a Weight(mass)- to- electric conversion model for the front wheel.
I wish I could afford all the testing equipment for tests and measurement, at present we have to wait for the university to do the development/testing work, and we have to wait for a long time and it’s costly.
I talked to many people on-line recently, and there are 2 questions concerning the SuperWheel –Weight(mass) to energy conversion technology(WTECT).
A, Is SuperWheel a perpetual motion machine/device?
SuperWheel is using the ‘Conversion of energy’ method to convert the reactive force of weight to turning power, our Patent attorney Brian O’neill of FRKelly , describe SuperWheel is a new type of energy conversion system.
B, So, where’s the additional energy come from ?
The reactive force/energy is the extension/ link to weight, which is always there, but has never been used before.. SuperWheel’s Weight-to-energy conversion technology diverting this force/energy to facilitate rotation, therefore, improve cycling efficiency.
How do you do it and what was your first technical challenge for the four years development ?
The Hub(weight) and the rim section(reactive) divided into 2 separate sections and connected with the spring mechanism, which would allow the reactive force diverted to facilitate the rotation.
Our first challenge was.. when the hub & rim section are separate, how can the energy be transmitted between these 2 components/sections?
Inspired by the Oldham Coupling(invented by an Irishman John Oldham 1779/1840), we developed a transfer dish(the torque disk) for the energy transmission.

My brother SeatSix gave me an excellent fountain pen for Giftmas, you can read about it above. Though this: using pencil exclusively the past few months, I physically wrote differently, I didn't notice until I tried writing with the fountain pen. I use pens at work, of course, that's not writing. Pencils flow one way, pens another. Pencil's one maintenance, pen's another. There are tablet implications. I know I wrestle tablet-rules instead of wrestling me. Full-size version here. Yes I'm better at deliberate mistakes than deliberate correct but only half up there were on purpose.

The nation’s once top mortgage lenders, the biggest banks, are a fading force in the housing economy.
FBR Capital Markets [FBRC] released its latest report on mortgage origination volumes and found that, among the big four banks, home loan lending is at its lowest level in a decade.
Origination volumes are currently at $305 billion in the fourth quarter, down from $460 billion in the quarter preceding. FBR still projects an estimated $1.3 trillion in overall originations for 2014 is achievable.
The news is a departure from estimations from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Last month, the MBA lowered its forecast for 2014 mortgage originations by $57 billion to $1.12 trillion.
The share of the Top 4 is now only 34% of the market, compared to 50% in 2012 and 62% in 2009. However, FBR said its $1.3 trillion estimation is still a possibility, just not through those once-traditional lending channels.
“As a result, smaller originators are becoming a more meaningful part of the market, and we expect players like Flagstar [FBC], Stonegate Mortgage [SGM], HomeStreet [HMST], PennyMac Mortgage [PMT] and PennyMac Financial [PFSI] should benefit,” the analysts add.
They also note that in an environment of falling interest rates, origination activity could actually surpass said estimation.
“All eyes remain on the spring buying season in order to get a sense of what full-year originations will look like,” they said, adding that a proactive federal government could lend additional support.

Erin started running in middle school and has been running most of her life. She completed her first half marathon in 2003 and her first full marathon in 2005, and has raced all distances from 5k to 50-mile ultramarathon. Her favorite distance is the half marathon, because she feels that while it is a challenging undertaking and an extremely rewarding accomplishment, it is still manageable to incorporate the necessary training into a busy working professional’s life. Erin enjoys helping others meet their running goals, and has coached first time and seasoned marathoners and half marathoners throughout the years, many of which juggle busy work and family lives. She even motivated her husband to complete his first half marathon in 2013, and in 2014, the couple went on to become “Rock Idols” for completing 10 Rock’n’Roll marathon series races across the country. Erin became an RRCA certified running coach in May 2016, and even if she isn’t leading your pace group, you can count on her to be there cheering for you at the finish!

Working capital decisions relate to the relationship between a firm’s current assets and its current liabilities. Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Working capital has a direct bearing on the firm’s liquidity or ability to meet short-term liabilities from short term assets especially cash being the most liquid asset. Working capital decisions involve deciding the optimum level of net current assets or working capital necessary to sustain the operations of the business.
The crux lies in understanding that having too little cash is not good as it may lead to deficits of stocks or require the selling of part of fixed assets or seeking other long term debt financing like long term bank loans meant for buying fixed assets to finance stock purchases. On the other hand, having very high levels of cash is not healthy for the firm because it means some cash is lying idle which could be used to finance expansion of production capacity by acquiring or buying of extra fixed assets.
Cash management policies: These are methods of managing and ensuring cash is safe and is not misused. It may include setting up financial accounting systems and procedures and putting up physical controls like safes and steel doors to ensure accountability for and safety of cash.
Debtors management which may involve setting up incentive schemes to motivate and encourage debtors to pay early like offering large trade discounts for debtors who pay early. This ensures a quick turnaround for receivables.
Having stock management policies that maintain optimum stock levels, eradicate excess stocks and avoid scarcity of stocks for sale.
Adopting creditor management policies which ensure the firm has a list of various creditors so as to source from the suppliers with the lowest credit interest rate and the longest repayment periods.

For every liter of fresh water extracted from the sea or brackish waterways, a liter-and-a-half of salty slurry, called brine, is dumped directly back into the ocean or the ground.
The amount of brine produced worldwide every year -- more than 50 billion cubic meters -- is enough to cover the state of Florida, or England and Wales combined, in a 30-centimeter (one-foot) layer of salty slime, they calculated.
All that extra salt raises the temperature of coastal waters, and decreases the level of oxygen, which can create "dead zones."
"It is difficult for aquatic organisms to breathe in these conditions -- they need O2 to survive," said Qadir.
Since 2015, the World Economic Forum's annual Global Risk Report has consistently ranked "water crises" as among the global threats -- above natural disasters, mass migration and cyber-attacks.
For each degree of global warming, about seven percent of the world's population -- half-a-billion people -- will have 20 percent less freshwater, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
On current trends, the sector will see a total of at least 17,500 plants by 2025, Qadir said, noting that one large plant can produce as much fresh water -- and brine -- as 200 or 300 small ones.

Rhytisma acerinum, the tar spot fungus growing within a leaf of a Norway maple.
Growing up with a maple tree in the front yard meant that around this time, I had to rake. Honestly though, now that I think about it, my parents weren’t too strict on this chore. Shoveling snow was much more important in the months to come than a cosmetic rake. Also, my mother as a high school science teacher realized that this is a natural process, that gave our lawn nutrients. In reality, our lawn was barren and our neighbors hated us. On the positive side, year after year I got to see the gradual leaf color change. From bright green to shades of red and orange, to the final stages of yellow and brown. This change was predictable, but I soon recognized a leaf formation that didn’t really fit. Some of the green leaves at the end of the growing season had black spots on them. I assumed that this was just a process in leaf senescence, a signal that fall was on our doorstep. Upon further investigation, I learned that what I was looking at was a fungus. The tar spot fungus, Rhytisma acerinum.
Norway maple (Acer platanoides) still green on my parents lawn in Buffalo NY.
Wherever you can find maple trees, you can find this tar spot fungus, however, the genus Rhytisma is not only limited to parasitizing maples. These fungi can also penetrate the leaf cuticle of several deciduous trees and shrubs like sycamore, elm, grape, and eucalyptus. There are around 18 species of Rhytisma found all over the world, but here, I will focus on the species I grew up with, R. acerinum. Before I could identify this specific tar spot fungus, I had to properly key out the maple tree on my parent’s lawn.
This past spring, the maple tree was in full blossom, and I decided to key the tree down to species. After all of these years, by looking at its flowers and bark, I finally learned that this was in fact a Norway maple. I was kind of bummed out too. I thought, “what’s wrong with native maple trees?” As it turns out, introducing non-native trees and shrubs was and is a cool thing to do. Having exotic species made people notice your front lawn more, and for the most part, many of these species are more disease resistant. Unfortunately for the Norway maple, humans brought its leaf parasite along for the ride as well. The tar spot R. acerinum was once thought to specialize in parasitizing Norway maple (Acer platanoides), silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) but new research suggests otherwise.
In 2007, Tom Hsiang and Xiuling Lynn Tian published a paper that closely looked into the genomes of the fungi associated with the different tree species. Together they extracted and sequenced DNA from Rhytisma species located on native and introduced maples. They found that the species growing on Norway maples was Rhytisma acerinum, a tar spot that evolved in Europe. On the contrary, the fungus growing on native maple trees were identified as R. americanum and R. punctatum, parasites that evolved in North America. So, I could finally say with confidence that these tar spots that I’ve taken several pictures of are indeed Rhytisma acerinum.
Although I mentioned earlier that this fungus is parasitic, it is only weakly parasitic. If this fungus reduced photosynthetic output during the peak of plant growing season, then it would have a greater effect on trees, and be considered a stronger parasite. However, R. acerinum only begins to negatively affect leaves at the end of the growing season, when photosynthesis is beginning to slow. It’s at this time in which trees stop producing costly substances that safeguard against parasites and pathogens, that the fungus takes full advantage. Because of the warm autumn we are having, trees like my parent’s maple are holding on to their leaves longer, and are still producing compounds that reduce parasitism. For this reason, leaves are still green with chlorophyll, and there are very few patches of tar spot fungus, even this late in the season.
(a) Cross section of a leaf with growing mycelia. (b) Sexual structures called spermatia. (c) Cross section of an overwintered leaf showing mature spores ready for dispersal. (d) Asci [large] and ascospores [small]. From Link 2.
The leaves that are parasitized will soon fall, and throughout the year, the fungus will mature. R. acerinum spores are ready for infection in March and April, perfectly timed with the emergence of newly synthesized leaves. Wind picks up the mature sticky spores of R. acerinum from leaf litter (on my parents unraked lawn) which hopefully adhere to a suitable leaf. The lucky spores germinate and enter the leaf’s stoma, the pores associated with transpiration. Growing mycelia within the leaf causes small localized yellow spots that can be seen with the naked eye in June and July, just a few months after initial infection. Even still, this is such a small leaf perturbation, the vast majority of the leaf is still cranking out sugars through photosynthesis. These small yellow dots continue to grow and become darkly pigmented in the fall.
Rhytisma acerinum. The tar spot fungus.
If you read this, now you know. Those black spots on maple leafs you are seeing, that’s a fungus. If you’re looking at a Norway maple and see tar spots, you can identify that fungus down to its species. R. acerinum is a really neat fungus that most people don’t know about. Ecologically, I gained a different perspective on parasitism by studying this species. This weak parasite doesn’t reduce the host plants fitness much at all. Because of this, there’s no reason for the tree species to evolve defenses overtime, unless the fungus becomes more degradative earlier in the growing season. Parasites that specialize in deciduous leaves that carry out their life cycle on the fringes of the plant's growing season are here to stay.

The United Nations' high commissioner for human rights blasted nationalist populists like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage for using "tactics similar" to ISIS to frighten and reel in followers.
"The proposition of recovering a supposedly perfect past is fiction; its merchants are cheats," Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said Monday. "Clever cheats."
Speaking at the Peace, Justice and Security Foundation gala in The Hague, Zeid -- a Jordanian prince married to an American from Texas, global maternal health activist Sarah Butler -- singled out Dutch politician Geert Wilders and "the populists, demagogues and political fantasists" like him.
The commissioner acknowledged he "must be a sort of nightmare" to these populists as he defends the rights of asylum seekers, gays, women and the disabled while being a Muslim "who is, confusingly to racists, also white-skinned; whose mother is European and father, Arab."
He panned Wilders' "lies and half-truths, manipulations and peddling of fear" and recent appearance at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. "What Mr. Wilders shares in common with Mr. Trump, Mr. [Viktor] Orban [of Hungary], Mr. [Miloš] Zeman [of the Czech Republic], Mr. [Norbert] Hofer [of Austria], Mr. [Robert] Fico [of Slovakia], Madame Le Pen, Mr. Farage, he also shares with Da’esh," he said, using the pejorative Arabic acronym for ISIS.
"All seek in varying degrees to recover a past, halcyon and so pure in form, where sunlit fields are settled by peoples united by ethnicity or religion – living peacefully in isolation, pilots of their fate, free of crime, foreign influence and war. A past that most certainly, in reality, did not exist anywhere, ever. Europe’s past, as we all know, was for centuries anything but that," Zeid said.
"...Populists use half-truths and oversimplification -- the two scalpels of the arch propagandist, and here the internet and social media are a perfect rail for them, by reducing thought into the smallest packages: sound-bites, tweets. Paint half a picture in the mind of an anxious individual, exposed as they may be to economic hardship and through the media to the horrors of terrorism. Prop this picture up by some half-truth here and there and allow the natural prejudice of people to fill in the rest. Add drama, emphasizing it’s all the fault of a clear-cut group, so the speakers lobbing this verbal artillery, and their followers, can feel somehow blameless."
The commissioner said the formula of these politicians is to "make people, already nervous, feel terrible, and then emphasize it’s all because of a group, lying within, foreign and menacing," then "make your target audience feel good by offering up what is a fantasy to them, but a horrendous injustice to others."
"Inflame and quench, repeat many times over, until anxiety has been hardened into hatred."
Zeid stressed he "certainly" did not "equate the actions of nationalist demagogues with those of Da'esh, which are monstrous, sickening; Da’esh must be brought to justice."
"But in its mode of communication, its use of half-truths and oversimplification, the propaganda of Da’esh uses tactics similar to those of the populists. And both sides of this equation benefit from each other – indeed would not expand in influence without each others' actions," he added.

For years Web designers have ascribed to the "3 click" rule. If people can't find something in 3 clicks, they'll give up. But the truth is as long as there's progress being made (moving to goals), people will continue.
The purpose of the Web pages is to connect the right user to the right content at the right time.
Web designers don't have control over the visual experience of Web sites. Users are in charge of how they view the Web: form the browser they use, to font settings, etc. But now they have even more control.
How can we create designs that don't get in the way of content but still communicate a personality? This is the challenge for designers working on the Web today.
Responsive design is progressive enhancement taken to the next level for the Web we have now (many devices, many different ways to interact with content). Layouts that adapt themselves to devices can be implemented in many ways.
Content is a design problem. Good web design starts with content. Yet our designs are often hostile to content.
If our designs don’t serve content, users will find ways to get the content anyway.
Mobile and responsive are creating a new interaction design landscape that puts users and content first.
If we don’t design with content first, our users will do it for us.

This is a groundbreaking film – the first to show what the full range of restorative responses to conflict and challenge looks like in schools from different sectors.
This is a groundbreaking film – the first to show what the full range of restorative responses to conflict and challenge looks like in schools from different sectors. Filming took place during the first half of 2010 in a primary school, three comprehensive schools and a school for children with complex learning needs. The film explains the key themes that underpin a restorative approach, shows examples of these themes in use and the kind of language appropriate at various stages of a restorative conversation. The film also features students, teaching assistants, teachers and senior managers talking about the impact the restorative approach has had on the staff, the young people and the school.

I came across Wonky, an animation/illustration/digital studio through their films for The School of Life. As I looked into their work I came across an example of interactive design; an interactive infographic that they created for Unicef.
There’s further information here at their website. I picked this as an example because it’s interesting to see a charity using this format to engage with a younger audience. I think its effective because it involves your participation, you have to make a choice to keep scrolling to continue the story. The format actually reinforces the message in a strange way, the act of donating has an effect on the well-being and health on those receiving the donation, its cause and effect. I think seeing the different stages of the delivery of aid to people is also beneficial in helping children (and adults) to visualise and grasp the process involved and time taken. I think this kind of infographic is particularly helpful for this current generation of children who are very familiar with phones, tables, computer games. It’s amazing to watch how most 3-4 year old’s know that by swiping the screen of a device they get a response from it. I think this plays well on the strength of learned experiences.
Life Is Strange – published by Square Enix Ltd, developed by DON’T NOD Entertainment SARL.
Most video games are interactive, in that they rely on you using a mouse, keyboard or controller to move the character in the game. But often the story is prescribed for you, you have little control over the course of or direction your character takes whether you like it or not. I heard of the game Life Is Strange through my husband (I bought him a copy for his birthday), and thought it would be fitting as an example of more interactive game play.
Life Is Strange allows you to play as Max, a teenager returning to her home town after a time away. Max discovers she has the ability to rewind time and predicts a terrible natural disaster through a series of nightmare like flash backs. As a player you are allowed to rewind time during the game. This allows you more control over the outcome of the story, consequences to character in the past, present and future. I read a couple of reviews before playing the game, one from Arstechnica and the other from Rock Paper Shotgun. Both seem to enjoy the element of choice and setting your direction in the story, but mention that this is not entirely user defined as some elements of the story or plot are not open to you changing or re-directing.
“Allowing a two-way flow of information between a computer and a computer-user; responding to a user’s input:a fully interactive map of the area”.
With that in mind I will try to discuss and analyse my experience of playing the first part of the game.
Life Is Strange – screenshot showing episode structure.
The game is divided into five parts or episodes. You play each episode in a sequence, each is designed to represent phases in the characters journey. The developers originally released the game episode by episode, rather than as a whole which is interesting as it mimics the pattern we see in TV shows. Part of me thinks it’s just a gimmick to increase the sense of anticipation between episodes. Another part of me likes the delay, as it gives you a chance to consider how you’ve played the game so far.

I’m no games expert so I’ll try not to make any comment on the technicality or mechanics of the game rather I want to try and comment on the content.

At the start of the game you are introduced to Max who appears to be having nightmare like visions (whilst apparently awake in college). These nightmare like visions seem to give Max the ability to rewind time, as well as predict some kind of natural disaster. Following this nightmare you find yourself listening to a lesson on photography.
Life Is Strange – screenshot photography class.
Here you begin to see an element of interactivity. Objects are highlighted with arrows and handwritten script suggesting you look at, pick up or use those objects. As you interact with these objects they alter the trajectory of the storyline. In the screen-shot opposite you are encouraged to take a selfie (not my choice of language), with a polaroid camera during the lesson. Using the camera in the lesson draws attention to Max and the teacher asks a series of questions. At the time answering these questions seems unimportant, and unless you have a prior knowledge of the history of photography you can’t actually answer the question correctly. Your options are fixed. However as the game progresses you realise the way you answer the questions has consequences. To me this feels unusual, it’s not often that a game asks you to consider the consequence of every day choice. Things get more interesting when you become able to rewind these moments and alter your responses.

Your interaction with these choices dramatically impacts the trajectory of the story, the game itself. Sometimes the choices feel like ones you are free to make for yourself. You chose a response and you see the consequence in real time. At other times the game forces you to rewind and replay an action repeatedly until you reach the correct one which allows the game to move forwards.

Interestingly enough the choice making mimic’s real life – your own sense of morality is what guides your decision making. But the game does hint at what the ‘right’ option is more often than not (see an example in the screenshot opposite). I enjoyed seeing the impact of these choices played out, even the ‘right’ choices have consequences, and these are not always pleasant or rewarding in the moment, as is true in life.

Life Is Strange – screenshot of results/stats.
The freedom to make your own choices is generally upheld in the game but I felt was undermined at the end of the episode when you are presented with a score or assessment of your actions. You can even compare your actions to friends who are playing the game in a section called friends stats. Perhaps this is supposed to remind you that your actions have consequences but I found it just made me feel guilty and unsure of how best to play the game. Ironically as in real life comparison is not helpful.
Visually the game seems to make use of a few effects or devices to give the game a distinct nostalgic feel. In the middle of making real time decisions you feel as though you are actually acting in hindsight, I think this is due to a few things. Firstly there’s the repeating motif of the polaroid picture, and camera. Although used in a contemporary setting, and supposedly a modern way (i.e. to take selfie’s) it feels incredibly nostalgic. It makes everything seem aged instantly. Secondly in some moments of decision making the screen becomes blurred and focuses on one fixed subject, I think it’s supposed to represent time to consider the decision. However I found it visually to capture reflection and looking back rather than deciding what to do. The whole game has a certain light to it, like it’s had a sepia filter applied, which for me reinforces that nostalgic feel.
Despite some confusing visual elements I enjoyed the level of interactivity the game afforded me. Something I struggle with in most games is the lack of choice or user input required to drive the story forwards. In this game you are required to make complex choices and decisions which dramatically impact the characters in the game. I think this increased interactivity creates an increased sense of emotional investment in the game. I certainly felt more cautious about what I might be putting the characters through or mindful of consequences than I have in other games. I also found it more frustrating, to have to try and figure out what the consequences might be and factor that in my game-play. These things mean the game is fairly slow paced, it won’t be rushed. It demands your focus and energy. I suppose really that’s a good reflection on life – a rushed life is full of poor choices, it takes time and effort to make effective choices.
