This week, here in the UK, it was a Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night) with a difference . Public firework displays, which are usually encouraged, due to safety, social and environmental issues, were of course banned due to the risk of Covid. There were still plenty of fireworks to be seen in the sky though (always keep your pets safe during Bonfire Night and the evenings surrounding it!) and we still had a lovely evening. Take a look at some of our snapshots of Bonfire Night 2020: First of all, apologies, as I’ve mentioned before I’m really bad at nighttime photography. A few years ago, I was really lucky and my main camera was really forgiving and would automatically take sharp nighttime photos. My current camera needs a lot more effort. I’ve even attended nighttime photography courses at Blogger conferences but still, I really struggle! I’m writing this as a reminder for me to reteach myself and keep at it so I don’t forget by next bonfire night! We’ll see! Anyway, back to bonfire night, I think Dave and Danny were secretly quite pleased we couldn’t attend a public display as it meant they got to set off their own mini display. We cuddled up and watched their fireworks. Then, it was time for sparklers, following the sparkler safety rules, of course. Instead of a bonfire, we had a campfire in the fire bowl. For the past few years, we’ve celebrated Bonfire Night at Milford Haven Round Table’s Firework Display. It’s always a great night but I do always miss having a bonfire. When it used to take place in the field, many years earlier, there was always a huge bonfire and we always had a bonfire and guy at the bottom of my street as a child. So it was great to go back to those days- in a smaller way! We had hot dogs for tea… …followed by toasted marshmallows and smores. Lastly, we had hot chocolates and cake to warm us up once we came indoors. During the first lockdown, we spent a lot of time in the garden. Izzy and I especially loved stargazing and planet spotting each night. I feel that spending the evening outdoors for Bonfire Night was a great reminder for us to light the fire, grab a blanket and watch the bats and moon, once again. Maybe this will be a way for me to improve my nighttime photography too… Did you celebrate Bonfire Night this year? I know it can be hard for pet owners. We’re lucky that Sid isn’t bothered by them. I hope you had a lovely time whether you were out watching fireworks or keeping cosy indoors. Stay safe and well!

Here is a small word game for you to try. Write down the word silent and the word listen, then stroke out the similar letters. Note each word contains the same letters as the other one. I think they must be first cousins! To be silent is to not speak or communicate at a particular time, especially through choice. To listen is to concentrate on hearing someone or something. They are both hard to do, especially if you like to talk as much as I do. Why do we go to events or plays or speeches or sermons and talk all the way through them? Why don’t we just stay home and talk to ourselves? Why do we think we have the right to disrupt everyone else’s listening? Have you done that when God was trying to get your attention? Yes, admit it. You are so truly guilty. Like the other speakers in our life, Jesus wants our full attention when he speaks. “Are you listening to me? Really listening? (Matthew 11:15, MSG) Prayer-Lord, forgive us for blabbering over your words, especially words like these in Matthew 17:5. “This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him.” Lord God, we sit silently before you, listening for your direction. Amen.

We are currently in the process of re-naming our products. Click here for more information and to discover all the new updates. FANTEK's New FANTEK Ring® makes its debut at LDI Las Vegas The FANTEK Ring® (F-Ring) is a cost effective and patented innovation that can be installed on trusses in a matter of minutes. Once in place, the F-Ring ensures that no damage can occur when the truss is being stacked on trolleys, moved from venue to venue or placed on the ground. Although removal is easy, there is no need to remove the F-Ring before using the truss, which means that the same F-Ring can remain in situ for the duration of the truss's life. And because it is very secure there is no opportunity for the F-Ring to be lost during transit. FANTEK's F-RINGs are must-have products for rental companies that want to protect their valuable truss stock. They are compatible with all truss models from any manufacturer using 50mm main tubes, the type most common with the 29cm wide trusses used for trade shows and live events. A simple solution that protects trusses from damage and scratches has been unveiled by FANTEK at the 2022 LDI Show in Las Vegas.

“Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! Again you will take up your tamborines, And go forth to dances of merrymakersmakers.” Merrymakers—an exact expression of what FBBC’s Liturgical Dance Ministry represents. As it pertains to Webster’s Dictionary, liturgy’s meaning states that it’s a fixed set of ceremonies that are used during public worship within a religion, and as it relates to FBBC’s Liturgical Dance Ministry, such meaning is certainly fulfilled. The Liturgical Dance Ministry at FBBC was started in the year 2000 by Sister Barbara Harris. The main focus of the Ministry’s foundation is to create and express God’s deity through dance and expression—drawing others to Christ in a unique fashion. “To offer means for involvement and enjoyment within a Ministry through ways that are not atypical,” added Sister Harris. According to Sister Harris, the youth play a major part in the Ministry. “The youth were the first to take part in the Ministry, and they have taken moves, steps and expressions they enjoy doing to praise God.” As the future of FBBC progresses, Sister Harris hopes that the Ministry can be more involved in the community, sponsoring ‘merrymaking’ events that promote others to give their lives to Christ. “We are a very close knit group that love and encourage each other,” stated Sister Harris. Presently, the Ministry practices every Monday (Youth from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., and Adults from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.) in the Chapel. Performances are held two to three times a month at FBBC and other community and civic functions when invited. “With FBBC’s continued support of the Ministry,” added Sister Harris, “the liturgy can continue to magnify the Lord along with the participation of the church family in our services and church events.” For more information on the Liturgical Dance Ministry of FBBC, contact Sister Barbara Harris through the church directory, as she encourages other’s to come dance with them!

Chris Evans last appeared in Avengers: Endgame years ago. He has now offered a fresh update regarding his potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Captain America. It has been almost five years since Evans ended his tenure as Captain America in Avengers: Endgame. While Sam Wilson is now the new Captain America in the MCU, the fans still hope to see Evans in the said character in the future. In a recent interview, Chris Evans was asked if there’s any possibility that he’ll be returning to the franchise. He was open to the idea but also explained how Captain America should not feel like just a “cash grab” and should meet people’s expectations. Evans expressed pride in his legacy as Captain America. Yeah, maybe. I’ll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience. But I’m also very precious with it. It’s something that I am very proud of. And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it even happened. And I wouldn’t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it just felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon. And ultimately I really hope to just maybe act a little bit less in my life. I have a lot of other interests. Look, by no means have I climbed any sort of a mountain in this field. I have no Oscars and I’m not lumped with other names that are at the top of the mountain in any way. But I also feel very satisfied. How Chris Evans’ Captain America ending avoids an important return issue Chris Evans‘ comments on his return to the MCU franchise were rather positive and impressive. Captain America could only make a return if Evans was introduced to a powerful storyline to which he could be drawn. Evans cleared how he did not anticipate a cameo as it would destroy his five-action legacy, given how Steve Rogers’ journey ended in Avengers: Endgame. This statement proves his sincerity to the franchise and to the role. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been thrown a combination of success and challenges in Phase 4, pertaining to The Multiverse Saga. Looking at the current state of the MCU, it is important that Rogers makes a comeback as Captain America. A return should be carefully crafted so that the end of the character in Avengers: Endgame does not lose its significance. The return should be strong and impactful. The return of Chris Evans as Captain America could be in various forms, be it Steve Rogers or the main Earth-19999 incarnation, possibly referring to time travel. Fans are highly eager to witness Evans in his last adventure. If the return happens, it would be the best fit for Captain America: Brave New World or Avengers: Secret Wars. Until that happens, the fans can always go over Captain’s endeavors in MCU through Disney+ and Blu-Ray/DVD collections.

The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Washington Nationals 2-0 thanks to another outstanding performance by pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who allowed just one hit over the course of seven innings. Tuesday night, Shohei Ohtani put on another outstanding pitching display, allowing just one hit over the course of seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Washington Nationals 2-0. The Angels ended a two-game losing streak when rookie catcher Logan O’Hoppe hit his team-high fourth home run of the year. With his 10th consecutive start allowing two runs or less, Ohtani (2-0) established an Angels record. Over the 1972–73 seasons, Nolan Ryan had a nine-game streak. The Japanese two-way superstar had four walks and six strikeouts. He has a 0.47 ERA and has only given up one run in his first three starts. Ohtani is the 14th major league pitcher to pitch at least 19 innings through his first three starts, allow one or fewer earned runs, and strike out at least six batters in each game since 1901, according to Sportradar. The last to do so were the San Diego Padres’ Joe Musgrove and Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays. For the first time since July 23, 2020, the Nationals, who entered the game leading the National League with 103 hits, had just one hit against the New York Mets. They scored 14 in the 6-4 victory on Monday night. After allowing a one-out walk in the ninth, Carlos Estévez struck out the next two batters to earn his first save. Jose Quijada struck out the Nationals in the eighth. A two-out double to right in the fourth inning by CJ Abrams was the only hit of the game. This moved runners to second and third after Keibert Ruiz walked earlier in the inning, but Michael Chavis grounded out to shortstop Gio Urshela to end the frame. In the bottom of the fourth, the Angels would score their first run. After Josiah Gray (0-3) hit Taylor Ward and Mike Trout with pitches, Ohtani blooped a single to left to put runners on the corners. Anthony Rendon’s sacrifice fly to the right helped Ward score. O’Hoppe connected on Gray’s cutter, which was slightly elevated but down the middle, for a solo shot to left, doubling the Angels’ lead. Two runs on four hits were given up by Gray over 5 2/3 innings. IF/OF Ildemaro Vargas of the Nationals has been listed as 10-day injured (back to April 10) due to a left shoulder strain. Triple-A Rochester’s Jeter Downs was promoted. … After being absent from the game on Monday due to illness, manager Davey Martinez was back in the dugout. Angels: Rendon returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Monday’s game due to soreness in his shoulder from being hit by a pitch on Sunday. In the series finale, Griffin Canning of the Angels will face Washington left-hander MacKenzie Gore (2-0, 2.38 ERA). After missing the previous season due to a back injury, Canning will make his first appearance in the big leagues since July of 2021.

Delta Air Lines has inked a partnership with communications company Viasat that will deliver a new branded high-speed wi-fi portal to passengers on more than 300 of its narrowbody aircraft. The wi-fi portal will be available this summer to passengers on its newly delivered Airbus A321ceo jets, as well as its Boeing 737-900ER and some 757-200 aircraft, the Atlanta-based airline states. Delta hopes to eventually launch the wi-fi portal on all of its aircraft that currently use Viasat’s technology. Passengers will have the option to purchase access to the new wi-fi service via seat-back screens and “personalise” their experience by mimicking their home or work content environment. Delta has previously said that it intends to someday offer its passengers free wi-fi. Ekrem Dimbiloglu, Delta’s director of brand experience, says that the new wi-fi portal is “a significant step on that journey”. Carlsbad, California-based Viasat will be installing on Delta’s selected aircraft the latest version of its Ka-band IFC system, which will be compatible with the communications company’s entire fleet of satellites, thus enhancing connectivity and the performance of streaming services. Delta in 2020 accelerated some fleet retirements and restructured its Airbus order book as part of its pandemic cost-cutting strategy. The carrier’s ongoing selection of aircraft for the wi-fi portal installation may give some indication into which jets will remain in its fleet over the long term.
From employee to owner, Tanya Wright and her daughter Tiyionna Irizarry are opening a location of D'Bo's Daiquiri, Wings and Seafood in Jacksonville. The brand was founded in Memphis, Tennessee, where Wright is from. She shared that she used to work at the original location years ago, before moving to Jacksonville. When a franchising opportunity rose for the area, Wright decided to jump on it. The brand offers a range of seafood boils, chicken wings, cauliflower wings, burgers, a full bar and more. Wright shared that the restaurant is nearing completion, and they hope to open the doors by late April or early May. Find the new D'Bo's Daiquiri, Wings and Seafood at: 901 King St, Jacksonville, FL 32204. The brand was started by David and Leticia Boyd when they realized that chicken wings hadn't really caught on in Memphis back in 1990. By maximizing cash advances on their credit cards, they opened a trailer, which blossomed into a brand of brick and mortar restaurants. Follow the brand online too for more information.

Step 1: Go someplace different for dinner. Step 2: “When the going gets tough …” Devise a Date Night experience that encourages both partners to see the surprising opportunities for growth that sometimes lie hidden in unexpected, uncomfortable, or frightening situations. For example: - Go to the gym and work out together. Push yourselves to surpass previously established limits of endurance. Encourage one another when the going gets tough. - Go for a long-distance run through the city. Build some challenges into this run, and take time to help each finish the course. - Plan a group outing centered around outreach to the needy. Hand out snacks and drinks in some public place where homeless people are known to congregate. Look for opportunities to share your faith and be prepared for the unexpected. - What was your favorite part of the evening? - What is the one thing you learned tonight that you didn’t know about me before? - How has this date shown you something about the ways in which tough situations can become opportunities for learning and growth? How do you think those opportunities can be used to strengthen your relationship as a couple? - What are some other ways you can keep your eyes open for unexpected opportunities as you meet the day-to-day challenges of the coming week? Step 3: Relax and unwind. Ready to answer a few questions? Step 4: Home sweet home. Let’s plan our next date! Think about additional ways you can make the most of stressful situations in the daily grind of life.
Call them debates, conflicts, arguments, or vehement fiscal discussions – every couple will have disagreements. When a man faces a confrontation with his wife, he typically responds in one of three ways. Husbands, which one of these statements best describes the way you react? - I give in. I’d rather give up than fight. - I flee the scene, hoping the problem will take care of itself. - I assert my authority to gain control of the situation and get my way. Unfortunately, when you give in, flee, or fight over your differences, you will never experience the satisfaction that comes with effective conflict resolution. Instead, you could find yourself sleeping on the couch. Wives, when you disagree with your husband about something, which one of these responses best describes your approach to the situation? - I try to get the upper hand through manipulation or hiding the facts. - I challenge my husband—especially when I think I know better. - I pretty much do as he says; things seem to go more smoothly that way. Again, women aren’t the only ones who manipulate and challenge their spouses, just as men aren’t the only ones who fight or flee. But it should come as no surprise that none of these options will promote long-term satisfaction or peace in a relationship. Let’s look, then, at God’s design for effective communication and conflict resolution in marriage. First, let’s reflect on the Biblical principles. When husbands and wives commit to one another, we see the outworkings of Christ’s relationship with the church, as described in Ephesians 5:28-29: “He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.” Scripture commands husbands to selflessly love their wives and wives to respect their husbands. It’s not difficult to see how, in a perfect world in which these commandments were never broken, marriages would be peaceful, satisfying, and uplifting. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a fallen world, and our natural tendencies are to focus on ourselves and attempt to impose our will on others. Any of my selfish attempts to get my wife, Judy, to do something “my” way causes communication breakdowns. Those breakdowns often leave ugly scars. Wounded relationships, broken families, and a discouraging lack of peace and satisfaction are just a few of the consequences that can mar a marriage. Strategies to resolve conflict In order to maintain our commitment to love, cherish, and honor our spouses, we need to yield ourselves and our rights, first to God and then to one another. Over the years, Judy and I have used several strategies to help prevent communication stalemates, blowouts, and breakdowns. If you and your spouse have a difference of opinion, try approaching conflict with one or more of these guidelines in mind:The following information is adapted from Ron Blue and Judy Blue, Money Talks and So Can We (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1999), 28, 35-35. - Stick to the problem at hand. Focus on the current conflict, and don’t accuse your spouse of “always” or “never” behaving a certain way. Putting your spouse on the defensive is never wise. - Get on the same side of the fence. Rather than attempting to resolve an issue “my way” or “your way,” work toward a solution that represents “our way.” - Try to identify the core issue. Arguments often arise because of events or issues that disguise the real problem. Consider what attitudes or beliefs are motivating your behavior for clues as to what the core issue in any conflict is. - Don’t be a mind reader. Discuss your beliefs and expectations openly. Don’t try to interpret your spouse’s thoughts or motives from his or her behavior; instead, ask direct questions. Likewise, don’t expect your spouse to know what you are thinking. - Don’t let the sun go down on your anger. Settling disputes takes hard work and can also take time. If you haven’t reached an agreement by bedtime, put the matter aside with the understanding that you will resume discussion the next day. Nursing anger overnight gives the devil a foothold (see Ephesians 4:26-27). Don’t leave yourself (or your marriage) vulnerable. - Avoid character assassination. As you work to resolve conflict, it’s okay to talk about circumstances and behavior. However, attacking your spouse’s personality or character is never acceptable. - Never forget that your relationship with your spouse is far more important than “winning” an argument or “being right.” - Remember that love keeps no record of wrongs. Be quick to forgive, quick to admit your own mistakes, and quick to move on from the conflict.
Looking for shelf-stable sweeteners to prep? When it comes to preparing for emergencies, the average prepper already has a decent supply of non-perishable foods and canned goods tucked away in their pantries. Maybe that’s you? But I want you to consider something for a moment. What if you were stuck eating these foods for a longer period of time than what you would have expected? Your family would quickly grow tired of them and wish there was something sweet and delicious they could be enjoying. That’s why stocking up on shelf-stable sweeteners would also be a great idea for every prepper. After all, there needs to be something to help you take your mind off of your situation. Wondering which sweeteners are the best for long-term storage? I’d love to help! These are shelf-stable sweeteners to prep that every prepper should have set aside for any emergency. 9 Sweet Shelf-Stable Sweeteners to Prep Honey is arguably one of the best sweeteners for preppers to get their hands on because it will last indefinitely if stored properly. That means you’ll never have to worry about your honey going bad. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container and away from any heat sources. Please store in quart or pint-size mason jars, plastic containers break down, and then the honey leaks through the cracks. But even if you do notice that your honey supply is starting to crystalize, that doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily gone bad. Simply place the container in a pot of warm water and stir until the honey becomes liquid again. Raw honey is considered to be the healthiest type of honey that has the most health benefits for you and your family, but there are a few other varieties for you to consider as well. Consider trying each of those listed below and then deciding which honey your family prefers. - Wildflower Honey - Avocado Honey - Buckwheat Honey Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t seem to view molasses as a sweetener, but they’re missing out. It too has a long shelf-life. In fact, it can last for up to 2 years without going bad. But like honey, you’ll want to make sure to store molasses in an airtight container to prevent it from hardening. Molasses is a great sweetener to have on hand, especially when it comes to baking. So if you find yourself with some extra time on your hands during an emergency, you could whip up some delicious molasses cookies, or perhaps some shoo-fly-pie! Molasses is also considered hygroscopic, which means it is part of a family of items that can help preserve your baked goods and keep them from going stale. It’s also fairly common for molasses to be used in cures and brines in order to preserve meat. For past generations, molasses was a mainstay when it came to adding sweetness to a recipe. Since then so many of us have relied on regular sugar to sweeten things we make. Don’t be afraid to give this sweetener a try the next time your recipe calls for sugar, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how good it will make the finished product taste. 3. Maple Syrup While maple syrup doesn’t have as long of a shelf life as honey or molasses, it’s still a great sweetener to have stored away. It can last for up to a year if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Maple syrup is most commonly used on pancakes and waffles, but it can also be used in baking or as a sweetener for oatmeal and other breakfast foods. And if you find yourself running low on supplies, you can always boil down some water and mix it with maple syrup to create a simple sugar solution that will last much longer. Like molasses, maple syrup has been used for generations as a sweetener, particularly in the northeastern states where maple trees are so common. Again, give it a try and see if you like the special flavor it adds to your recipes. Be cautious when you shop for maple syrup. There are lots of imitations out there with varying texture, flavor, and shelf life. Yes, they tend to be less expensive, but I always have the attitude to buy right the first time if you’re counting on quality. That applies to almost everything I purchase! 4. Brown Sugar Brown sugar is another sweetener to think about. Although its shelf-life is considered indefinite, don’t bet on it. It can last for months, or up to 2 years, if stored properly. Most of you are well aware that brown sugar has a tendency to harden over time. To prevent this from happening, simply store your brown sugar in an airtight container with a piece of bread. The bread will help to keep the brown sugar moist and prevent it from hardening. You can also use brown sugar in baking or as a sweetener for coffee and tea. It’s also a great way to add a touch of sweetness to savory dishes like roasted meats or vegetables. I stopped buying brown sugar because you can make it for less money. How to Make Brown Sugar 5. Powdered Sugar Powdered sugar is certainly a great sweetener to have on hand, especially if you enjoy baking. It has a long shelf life and can last for up to a couple of years if stored properly. And what’s nice about powdered sugar is that it doesn’t have a tendency to harden over time. Similar to brown sugar, powdered sugar is wonderful for sweetening coffee and tea while adding just the right amount of sweetness to vegetables and roasted meats. 6. Agave Syrup® If you have a lot of friends or family members who are vegan or have gluten allergies, having an emergency stockpile of agave syrup® would be an absolute must! Agave syrup® is also a low-glycemic sweetener, which means that it won’t cause your blood sugar levels to spike the way that other sweeteners can. And like honey, agave syrup® has a long shelf life and can last for years if stored properly. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container and away from any heat sources. 7. White Cane Sugar Cane sugar is another one of those sweeteners with a decent shelf life. It’s definitely a staple item that every baker should have in their kitchen whenever they’re planning on following a sweet recipe. It can last for up to 2 years if stored properly. And like brown sugar, cane sugar has a tendency to harden over time. But you can prevent this by storing it in an airtight container with a piece of bread. Stevia® is a relatively new sweetener on the market, and it’s derived from the stevia ® plant. It’s considered to be a natural alternative to sugar and it has a very long shelf life. In fact, it can last for many years without ever going bad. Stevia® is mostly used in baking, while some people prefer to use it as a sweetener for coffee and tea. And like agave syrup, stevia® is also a low-glycemic sweetener which means that it won’t cause your blood sugar levels to spike. This is one of my favorite shelf-stable sweeteners to prep and worth checking out. And last but not least, there’s Splenda®. Splenda ® is a type of artificial sweetener that can be used as a sugar substitute. You can use it in baking, or simply add it to coffee and tea. Either way, it’s a great way to add sweetness without all the calories. Splenda®: According to their website, the products are labeled with best by used dates. Shelf Life of Sweet Shelf Stable Sweeteners - Honey: Will last indefinitely. Please store in smaller containers, mason quart or pint jars are great. Plastic containers will break down after a few years. - Molasses: I quote the USDA website: “Unopened molasses can be stored at room temperature for 12 months. After opening, store at room temperature for 6 months for best quality.” - Maple Syrup: I quote the USDA website: “Before opening, all maple syrup can be stored in the pantry for about a year. After opening, genuine maple syrup should be stored in the refrigerator and will last about a year. Opened jugs of imitation maple syrup can be stored in the pantry for about a year.” - Brown Sugar: It will last indefinitely, but it’s best to use it within 2 years. If you live in a very dry area, you may want to freeze it. - Powdered Sugar: It’s best if used within two years. - Agave Syrup®: It’s good for about two years. - White Cane Sugar: It’s best used within 2 years. I just opened a #10 can of sugar from a church-sponsored canning company and the sugar had gone bad. It smelled so bad, it was for sure rancid. - Stevia®: I quote the Stevia Website: “Stevia In The Raw® Packets, Approximately four years from the date of manufacture” - Splenda®: According to their website, the products are labeled with best by used dates. In case you missed these posts: - 11 Canned Meat Ideas I Recommend - 18 Meals In A Can I Recommend - 11 Cans Of Fruit I Recommend - 15 Canned Vegetables I Highly Recommend So, there you have it! These are just a few of the shelf-stable sweeteners to prep that every prepper should have to help their families get through the toughest of times. With these sweeteners in your pantry, you’ll be prepared for any emergency situation and your family will certainly be most grateful you had them. May God Bless this world, Linda
[11/29: Update added at the bottom of this post. Also, the author was long YHOO and BABA at the time of writing] I am a big fan of both Apple and Tim Cook. I have been for a while. I said Cook would do a great job as CEO 6 months before Steve Jobs died and defended his record 2 years ago when people were saying he wasn’t “innovative” enough. However, I do have a big problem with one choice Cook has made over his tenure as CEO of Apple. It’s not the lack of a bigger screen iPhone sooner or his original choice of head of Apple Retail before Angela Ahrendts. It’s his decision to spend $100 billion and counting of Apple cash on a capital return program. The program was announced in April 2012. It was the first time since 1995 (before Jobs returned to the company) that Apple had paid a dividend. To date, it’s been estimated that Apple has used more than $100 billion of its cash on dividends and stock buybacks. To me, that’s madness. Prior to Cook’s decision to start spending cash on dividends and buybacks, Apple was content to let it accumulate on its balance sheet. The company had gone through a near death experience in 1997 and obviously wanted to ensure it had a sufficient cash cushion to continue to fund its operations in case the markets ever turned against it. By 2012, lots of Wall Street analysts had begun complaining that Apple simply had too much cash sitting idle on its balance sheet and it should either invest it through R&D or M&A or return it to shareholders. There are generally 3 points of view regarding Cook’s decision to start this capital return program: (1) Carl Icahn and most other observers affiliated with Wall Street think it was smart and, if anything, hasn’t gone far enough. (2) Chamath Palihapitiya – a former Facebook (FB) exec who is now a venture investor and a part-owner of the Golden State Warriors basketball team – and most tech people affiliated with Silicon Valley think it was dumb and signals that the company believes it has run out of areas to innovate in. (3) Apple blogger John Gruber thinks there’s no harm no foul in spending money on the dividends and buybacks and supports not spending money excessively on M&A because part of Apple’s success has been staying focused – “a thousand no’s for every yes.” I believe the capital return program has been a total waste of Apple’s hard-earned $100 billion. I believe – although this is impossible to prove – that Apple’s stock price would be just as high as it is today (or more likely higher) had they spent that $100 billion on a combination of smart M&A and smart R&D that would have continued to extend Apple’s lead over other Android phone makers. Had Apple not spent any money on a capital return plan, it would now have over $255 billion in cash on its balance sheet – a quarter of a trillion dollars. If I had a chance to have a coffee today with Tim Cook and he still had $250 billion (with access to much more zero interest cash through debt which he’s only used to date for funding the capital return plan), I would suggest he do five things before Monday morning: - Buy Tesla (TSLA) for $45 billion (representing a 50% premium over yesterday’s closing price) – and before he complained that that’s too much money, I’d point out that if he’d listened to me on February 20th and bought Tesla, it would have been 16% less that what he has to pay now. - Buy Twitter (TWTR) for $39 billion (representing a 50% premium over yesterday’s closing price) – unfortunately that’s 4x what it would have cost Apple to buy Twitter back in April 2012 when I suggested to just after Facebook (FB) had bought Instagram for $1 billion. - Buy Pinterest for $15 billion (a 50% premium over what the private company is rumored to now be worth, although it might be more now). - Spend $10 billion on better batteries through R&D. To be fair, you’d get some of this already through the Tesla acquisition. But is there anything more frustrating to current iPhone users than poor battery life? - Spend another $10 billion on other materials or features which are going to corner the market on some features that consumers will love yet will be difficult for Android makers to copy. How about $10 billion just to make iCloud work properly? Altogether, this M&A and R&D spree would cost Apple $119 billion. Their cash levels would be $136 billion today instead of $155 billion. They wouldn’t have much revenue to show for that $119 billion but how much higher would Apple’s market cap be than the $700 billion it is today? If Apple owned Tesla, Twitter and Pinterest? That would be worth at least another $50 – 100 billion in stock value. It seems like many on Wall Street believe the capital return program is the reason for the renewed vigor in Apple’s stock price which is up 48% this year alone. They say that new kinds of institutional investors plus widow and orphan type retail investors have been attracted to now own Apple stock because of the dividend yield they receive. However, recall that the capital return program was announced in the Spring of 2012. Apple’s stock price initially dropped in the first few weeks afterwards. It then rushed up through September 2012 to all-time highs before losing half its value. The stock price bottomed out in mid-2013 and only really started taking off this year after a very bullish April earnings report. Correlation is not causation. It’s not the Apple capital return program that made people want to buy (or sell) the stock. Rather, it’s Apple’s product cycle, margins, and top-line revenue growth. Two years ago, people worried that Apple was a “hits-based” business relying on new phones each year. It seemed like margins had peaked and Cassandras were shouting that no consumer electronics company – certainly not one without Steve Jobs any more – could keep competitors from eating away at that margin. Samsung seemed ready to ascend to Apple’s throne. Tim Cook seemed to be a care-taker. Sentiment about Apple the stock didn’t change because they started paying a dividend in my view. Sentiment turned around when Apple kept crushing earnings, people realized that the Apple ecosystem was a lot stickier than first thought, and Eddy Cue said in May that Apple had a product roadmap which was the best he’d seen in the last 25 years. It’s always been the product which has driven Apple’s stock and always will be. The day Apple decided to get on the treadmill of paying out money to investors forever through dividends and buybacks is that day they admitted to the world that they can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. A lot of potential innovation inside Apple died that day. John Gruber – whom I respect immensely, and who humorously referred to me as “Action Jackson” for imploring Apple to “do something” with their cash – defended Cook’s decision to do the capital allocation because (A) he thought it was smart for Apple to adhere to a policy of focus over willy-nilly acquisitions and (B) he believed it would be marginally positive for the stock which helps with employee retention. (I’m going by memory from a Twitter exchange I had with Gruber 9 months ago, but I’m pretty sure that was his reasoning.) Here’s why I think John Gruber is wrong on this issue. Anti-M&A Apple enthusiasts always say that, because Apple has never done big acquisitions, and Apple has been successful, Apple therefore shouldn’t do acquisitions. This is mixing correlation with causation again though in my view. There’s nothing inherently wrong with acquisitions. They have to be value-enhancing and help extend the business in a direction it wants to go. If done right, they can be very value-enhancing. Don’t forget: Apple itself wouldn’t exist in its present form had it not been for an acquisition – the 1996 acquisition of NeXT Software for $400 million, returning Steve Jobs to Apple. I’d say that was a good use of $400 million versus if they’d simply paid it out in a dividend. Even Apple seems to acknowledge this logic of the benefit of big acquisitions with its recent $3 billion buy of Beats to supplement its iTunes business. In terms of the focus argument, Apple has about 45,000 non-retail employees today which is about the same number as Google (GOOG). If Apple bought Tesla, Twitter, and Pinterest, they’d gain 9,000 additional employees (although surely there’d be some redundancies here - 5800 for Tesla, 3000 for Twitter, 200 for Pinterest). That’s about a 20% increase in headcount. I think a company like Apple can surely handle that and keep its focus. I just don’t think things are so sacrosanct at Apple that they can’t manage these additional people. Oh and I’m not alone in pushing for Apple to buy Tesla (which would represent 5,800 of the new 6,100 employees Apple would gain through the 3 acquisitions I’m advocating). Chamath is – I think -- the guy who originally argued for this deal. John Gruber agreed with my idea of buying Tesla. Jay Yarow of Business Insider also recently extended my original argument. So, we’re all in agreement that this would be a brilliant – and frankly breath-taking – acquisition Cook should make. In some ways, it would very much resemble the NeXT deal and how important Musk could be inside Apple the way Jobs was. Now, I’ve argued that Apple should make other acquisitions in the past. Some will say here goes “Action Jackson” again. But let’s review what I said. I argued in the past that Apple should buy Yahoo (YHOO) for $23 billion back when Yahoo’s market cap was $18 billion. Now Yahoo’s market cap is $50 billion. I believed that deal would have helped given Apple some real web services which it still is lacking, plus a great partner in China through owning (what at that time would have been) 40% of Alibaba (BABA). I also argued that Apple should have bought Facebook for $100 billion back in 2011 when it was being privately valued at $50 billion and critics were screaming that was way too expensive. Would all of these deals shown a lack of focus? Apple’s still doing something – who knows what? – with iAd. They’re putting some focus there. If you’re going to do that, why not have just bought Facebook for $100 billion and let Mark Zuckerberg continue to run it (if he would have accepted Cook’s offer). You don’t have to worrying about losing your focus. You’re paying Zuck $100 billion to have focus for you over that asset. (And wouldn’t Google have just hated Apple had they had the moxie to do this?) Apple’s still focusing on web services and messing around with that area – not impressively. If they’re going to devote some focus there, why not just own Yahoo and have Marissa Mayer run that area for them? Oh and they would have acquired a 40% interest in Alibaba which is today worth $112 billion (pre-tax). And, while it wasn’t something I argued for at the time, you can understand now what the value to Apple would have been if they’d bought Dropbox for “nine figures” (which is less than $1 billion for those math-challenged) back in 2009. Why did Steve Jobs stubbornly push back from the table and say Dropbox’s price was too high? Every time I interact with iCloud, I curse the day Jobs got cheap and thought Apple was better off staying focused and not buying Dropbox. So, please don’t lecture me about focus when I criticize the folly of Apple for being too “stand pat.” Apple – and only Apple due to its size and cash balances at the time – could have spent $124 billion on Facebook, Dropbox and Yahoo and today control assets worth $338 billion (just for Facebook’s equity value, Dropbox’s estimated $10 billion in value, and the 40% stake in Alibaba). That means Apple would already be a trillion dollar company today easy. Apple’s still focusing on iAd and web services today and they’ve still blown $100 billion on dividends and buybacks but they don’t have anything to show for it. Let’s not try and defend these lack of decisions as Tim Cook being focused or a thousand no’s for every yes. Apple could have a quarter of a trillion dollars today in cash to put to work today. They could become the overnight leader in smart cars by buying Tesla. They could – more importantly – acquire our generation’s single greatest technological leader in Elon Musk and give him carte blanche to paint his canvas. (Somehow, I think Musk could find a better use of $100 billion than handing it over to shareholders.) They could acquire the single most unique and intriguing asset in the social networking world today in Twitter which, despite the recent management criticisms, is only going to be more important to our culture moving forward. They could acquire the single greatest threat to Google search in the last 15 years by buying Pinterest. Tim Cook could make all this happen before we return to work from Thanksgiving next Monday. He could make Apple – a fundamentally great company – into a remarkably exciting company unlike any other in the world. He should do this, but I doubt he will. I doubt he will because he’s married a fickle lover in Wall Street. He’s paid Wall Street $100 billion to date and promised countless more billions in the future. This doesn’t make Apple a better company or promise a brighter future. And it doesn’t raise the stock any higher than it would rise anyway on the hopes of the latest round of new products. There are times I agree companies should pay out cash to shareholders in dividends or buybacks instead of doing pointless M&A. I’d rather see Yahoo do that right now than spend billions more on another Tumblr and 3 dozen nameless acqui-hire companies. But Apple can do much better for itself now with its billions rather than continue wasting them on nameless, faceless Wall Street mutual fund managers. No one else can put $100 billion to use on M&A and R&D other than Apple to transform itself for the better. Only Apple can spend $100 billion wisely. It’s time for Tim Cook to think different. Update [11/29]: Comments and tweets are running about 99 to 1 anti-Eric's argument above. I basically have Jay Yarow (partially) in my corner and some random guy on Twitter and that's it. However, I want to add to the argument above based on the reaction so far. 1. I would rather have seen Apple keep $100 billion over the last 2.5 years instead of paying it out to shareholders. Either you agree with me or you shrug your shoulders and say "what's the big deal?" I think it is a big deal. It's $100 billion! That's nothing to shrug your shoulders at. It took Apple as a company a lifetime to be in the fortunate position to have generated that much capital and I think they should have kept it than paid it out. At the least, they should stop this capital return plan and keep everything from here. I don't think Apple's stock price would be any different today with our without the capital payout program. I can't prove that obviously but, guess what? Neither can those saying it is perfectly correlated to the recent rise in Apple's stock price. Apple's stock initially dropped after they announced their plan in 2012. Wall Street never perfectly prices in what it perhaps it economically should. That's why - for years - Wall Street didn't seem to give any credit for the cash Apple was accumulating. There are lots of companies who do buybacks and dividends and it seems to benefit those companies. But they're generally not innovative ones. They're generally at the top of their S-curved growth. I believe the most important determinant of Apple's stock price - two years ago and now - is how investors perceive the coming cycle of new Apple products. In my view, that's what caused the 50% drop in Apple's price two years ago (on a negative perception of that coming cycle) and it's what's caused the recent ramp up this year in the stock (on a positive perception). The dividends and buybacks are correlated with the stock's rise recently but not the cause - in my view. 2. I think there are many tech-minded people who believe that the day your company starts paying a dividend is the day you say "I can't think of anything creative to do with the money myself so I'm going to give it back to the shareholders." Again, it suggests you're at the top of the S-curve and you're simply going to milk your profits from here on out. There are lots of ways Apple could still grow. I think few who argue against that. I'd rather see Apple keep all its cash ready to attack those problems through R&D or M&A. 3. The Focus thing. For me to mention buying Tesla, Twitter, Pinterest, Yahoo, Dropbox, and Facebook in the post, I think it came across that I was arguing to do all those acquisitions and more big ones in the future at the drop of a hat. Any of those deals would have made financial sense but I recognize that cultural fit is important. Apple might have looked at buying Yahoo 2 years ago. They might have believed it was attractive to own 40% of Alibaba years before folks were talking about it here and the potential ways Alibaba could help them in China, but they still might have decided against buying Yahoo because of the potential headache digesting 13,000 Yahoo employees who had been running on auto-pilot for years. So, yes, cultural fit is important. And, yes, none of those companies might not have agreed to sell - like Zuckerberg. But Apple is still doing stuff in ads. They are focusing there. Either get in or get out of the pool. Do ads or not. And, if you're going to do ads, you probably need some help. So acquire someone (else, because they've done some alread). You've got ample cash unlike any other company in the world so go for it. If you're going to play around with Ping, go all the way with it. Of all the potential acquisitions I suggested, I think the most interesting by far is Tesla. If I was Cook, that's the first one I'd do. If it was the only one he did, I'd be happy. I still think Twitter and Pinterest could also be huge assets in the future for Apple so I'd also grab them now at lower prices than what they'll be in 5 years and I'd get to work on integrating them now rather than waiting and having more of an integration issue later. 4. Why did Cook choose to do the dividend and payout? I think that's worth thinking about. Sure he was getting pressure from David Einhorn and Carl Icahn to do it but I don't think either of those guys (who I respect) forced Tim to do it. I believe Cook thought Apple had way too much money than it could spend and this was a way to increase the stock price. He seemed to go out of his way when the stock dropped in 2013 to buy more stock to aid the stock price. I think he probably worried that a low stock price would hurt employee morale and retention. So, I think it came from a "it can't hurt, only help" place for Cook. And, by the way, I think Cook's a great leader and any one who's read my stuff for years knows I defended him when others - who really knew nothing - were calling for his head. However, despite this all coming from a good place, I think Cook simply misjudged what drives Apple's stock price. It's the product cycle, period. So, this $100 billion has been wasted and I think it could have been better spent. 5. Apple shouldn't be doing big acquisitions every year. But they should be thinking "what's the NeXT acquisition we could do today which would propel our company into a totally new and exciting vector that makes sense?" I think Tesla is it for reasons I've argued before. 6. People talk about Apple's patience, its focus, its culture as things that have led to its success. They worry that doing a big acquisition might hurt Apple's specialness. I think it's obvious Apple has a dominant bias to build vs. buy. That's fine, but I think those biases - which have made it a very special company - can also sow the seeds of future mistakes. The concern I have with Apple is that it is missing a big transformational acquisition - Tesla for example - because it defaults back to these biases (that's too big, we don't do that, a thousand no's for every yes) and misses a huge opportunity. 7. Maybe Apple's worried about falling into an anti-trust trap with the government like has happened to Microsoft and Google. Maybe that's the real reason they're avoiding big acquisitions today. That's fair. But I can't see how a Tesla acquisition would concern antitrust regulators.
Every company, regardless of industry, size or location, has a goal of hiring the best talent. Yet, recruiting diverse candidates remains a top challenge for companies today. One of the main reasons is because many companies recycle old job descriptions instead of updating them. Even though their workplace has evolved, their job descriptions and core values remain outdated. To expand on this, a company might promote a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion yet the language in their job description is exclusive and discriminatory. As a result, their job description makes qualified candidates feel excluded and discouraged from applying. David Fitton, managing director of Excelerator Consulting, said, “job descriptions are most inclusive when they evolve as the job changes. They should be updated at least annually and include input from the individuals doing the job when applicable.” However, updating a job description is only one step in the process of capturing the attention and recruiting diverse talent. A company’s website, social media, internal communications and culture need to be on the same page as what’s being promoted. A company can hire the best talent, but if everyone in the company, more specifically leadership, doesn’t live up to their claims, new hires will leave quickly. Here are four useful tips on how companies can create inclusive job descriptions to attract diverse talent. Lead With Sensitive, Thoughtful and Inclusive Language The language used in job descriptions will either attract or repel candidates. A well written job description is one that speaks to diverse applicants while being specific about the skillsets required. Leading with sensitive, thoughtful and inclusive language shows candidates you’re an inclusive workplace that considers all applicants regardless of gender, background, disability or status. It’s important to first understand the different types of discrimination. The EEOC has laws to protect both applicants and employees from being discriminated against based on sex, age, race, national origin, disability, religion, gender identity and color. Yet, a majority of job ads unintentionally use language that is aggressive, gender specific and discriminatory due to them being outdated. As a result, qualified candidates are reluctant to apply because the language in the company’s job description is telling them they’re not an inclusive workplace. Here are a few ways you can start to revise your job descriptions: - Seek the feedback and perspective of current employees to prevent unconscious bias - Replace gender specific pronouns such as he or she with you or they - Eliminate gender-coded terms such as ninja, rock star, competitive, patient, guru or nurturing, to name a few - Avoid lengthy job descriptions that stray from the core fundamentals of the role in which you’re hiring - Use sites such as Textio and Gender Decoder to identify bias and harmful language - Ensure job ads are jargon-free and easy to read with simple terms, especially for people with dyslexia or autism Paul French, managing director at Intrinsic Search said, “you don’t have to dumb down your job descriptions or use social media slang, but you can use universally understandable terms to describe the role and requirements for the job.” Ditch Superficial Requirements And Being More Intentional Revisiting job descriptions is more than altering the language, it’s also evaluating the skills and requirements of the position. J.P. Gaston, co-founder, producer and podcast host of The Biz Dojo, reminds employers that “every requirement line in your job description is another line of exclusion.” One example is, listing “English as a first language” as a requirement when “must be fluent in English” would suffice. Another example is requiring a college degree for a role that doesn’t necessarily require college-level skills when equivalent experience would be adequate. Hosea Chang, chief operating officer at Hayden Los Angeles, said, “if you ask for skills, experiences, degrees, and levels of seniority that aren’t necessary for success, you’ll be reducing your candidate pool and missing out on talented people that would excel in the position you need to fill. He added, instead “focus on performance objectives and what a person needs to be able to do and achieve. By doing this, you’ll attract candidates with diverse backgrounds and skills that will become assets to your business.” In addition to the language used, employers should be mindful of where they’re posting their jobs. Gaston explained, “LinkedIn, Monster, Workopolis, even your own company website will carry with them a built-in unconscious bias. To be truly inclusive, you need to be purposefully and actively seeking opportunities to remove exclusivity and bias from your current processes.” Here are some diverse job boards to consider: - Hire Autism - Black Career Network - Diversity Working - Recruit Disability - Pink Jobs (highly skilled LGBTQ candidates) - We Work Remotely - Career Contessa (ambitious and highly engaged female talent) - Female Executive Search (C-Suite female candidates) - 70 Million Jobs (candidates with criminal records) - Hire Purpose (military spouses, veterans and service members) Emphasize Your Commitment To Creating A Workplace Of Belonging Job descriptions should clearly communicate the ethos and core values of the company. Candidates want to know where companies stands in light of social and racial injustice. Companies who actively communicate their stance, support and commitment to being an ally for women, veterans and the BIPOC community, to name a few, will attract candidates with similar values. Companies should be open with sharing their community efforts and the causes in which they invest their time and money. Candidates who are aligned with those efforts will want to apply whereas those who aren’t will continue searching. For example, recognizing Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day sends a clear message to candidates about where the company stands in terms of Black Lives Matter. Lastly, companies should be transparent about their perks and benefit offerings to demonstrate how inclusive their workplace is for all employees. Dr. Melissa Horne, DEI expert and director of client experience at Dialectic, explained, “most women won’t apply for a position if they believe the company isn’t flexible around childcare and working hours.” Some benefits companies should consider are: - parental leave - childcare allowances - mental health and wellness programs - flexible working hours - remote work - paid sick time - paid volunteer days - community work with BIPOC organizations - health insurance contributions Become Self Aware Of Your Own Bias Unconsciously, people look for people who are similar to them whether it’s through hobbies, previous jobs, where they graduated from or other similar background information. Everyone has their own bias whether they realize it or not. Gaston asserts, attracting diverse talent is “more than updating your job posting, your email, or your process improvement plan.” He explains, “diversity and inclusiveness is a cultural shift for society, and for organizations. Hiring with the intent of driving D&I in the workplace is a good start, but will not spark an evolution within your business on its own. This requires commitment, education, and a lot of listening to understand.” Hiring managers can become more self aware of their own bias through training as well as seeking the feedback of others to consistently improve job description language and hiring practices. In addition, there are tools available to eliminate bias. PinPoint, Textio and Blendoor are a few tools hiring managers can leverage to anonymize resumes and remove demographic information.

Launched in: 2019 Application Timing: July - Oct. Ford Fund invites student teams to develop ideas for innovative projects that address an unmet social need or problem in the local community—ranging from safety to workforce development to access to mobility, and more. Each year, up to three student teams are selected to receive a €5,000 grant to implement their project. Through this program, students use entrepreneurial action to make people’s lives better and help their community become a more sustainable place to work and live. 2020 Ford College Community Challenge Winning Projects Universidad Politecnica de Madrid: Madrid The goal of project TEACH ME is to develop a “serious” game that can be used to reinforce the classic treatment of autism spectrum disorder. This game can be used on tablets, both with Android and IOS operating systems and is focused on children between the ages of six and 10 years with intellectual disabilities. The objective of the game will be to help with the acquisition of skills and development of abilities to independently perform routine daily living activities. These self-care activities are a basic need in the life of any person and learning to complete them independently can often be a challenge for many children with autism. Such objectives are rarely addressed in games that are more often focused on the acquisition of curricular content. The project does not intend to replace treatments that have been used up to now but to support the work of the experts who work in the different centers and provide both an entertainment tool and a learning tool for parents. The whole project revolves around having a great configuration and customization of the game's contents, depending on the needs of the user who will make use of it. The multidisciplinary nature of this project means that in addition to the engineering team, a collaboration of a team of professionals within the social health area is needed. For this project a collaboration with Dr. in Occupational Therapy Ms. Nuria Máximo Bocanegra who is a professor and researcher at the Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid. Universidad Autonoma de Madrid: Madrid The MiRiquezApp project is an app created to increase empathy and awareness of child and adolescent cancer. The app incorporates video and audio testimonials, scientific research information and links to a network of psychological support contacts. The support contacts are made up of two groups, the first being a network of volunteers for those who want to talk to someone and the second for patients and their families who need professional help. The network of psychologists would still be volunteers and offer a free first session either in person or online. The application will be released to both Android and IOS users at the price of 1 euro with all proceeds going to the “Niños con Cáncer” national association, as a donation. Universitat Politecnica de Valencia: Valencia Project Build with your Knowledge is designed to develop a student volunteer network and training program that helps improve the quality of life of those at risk of social exclusion. The team aims to encourage those who have experienced social exclusion to join the volunteer network. Volunteers are encouraged to attend workshops at the university’s medical school in addition to two professional training programs. The two professional programs focus on basic technology, learning how to use tech tools especially for groups of immigrants, illiterates, or elderly, and diet and nutrition.
A master chronicler of the deceptions and betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, le Carré portrays, in The Constant Gardener, the dark side of unbridled capitalism. His 18th novel is also the profoundly moving story of a man whom tragedy elevates. Justin Quayle, amateur gardener and ineffectual bureaucrat, seemingly oblivious to his wife's cause, discovers his own resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love. Justin's quest to find Tessa's murderers takes him on a complicated journey fraught with mystery and danger. He meets with Ham (Richard McCabe), his wife's cousin in England, and receives some help from a young computer wizard that tracks down critical information on the Internet. In Germany, Justin is beaten viciously and realizes that this conspiracy has so many players that it will more difficult than he thought to get to the bottom of it. After returning to Kenya, the diplomat keeps discovering more information about the circles of deceit surrounding Dypraxa. In a telling scene, he has traveled to a remote village where food is being distributed to starving Africans. A marauding force of vicious men on horseback gallop through the place killing men, women, and children with wild abandon. The point is made that the poor are constantly the victims of violence, whether their oppressors are global corporations or murderous bands of tribesmen. They are viewed as worthless commodities by their own country's leaders and by the other governments who have no qualms about making a profit on their suffering, especially if it means jobs and political capital at home. The Constant Gardener is a watershed work that exposes the shadowy parameters of a new war that is animated by corporate greed and political amorality. Ralph Fiennes said of his character: "Justin is a passionate gardener. There's an internal quietude about gardeners, this sensitivity to watching something live and grow, and caring about how something will flourish and bloom. To me, that was all key to Justin. Why does he marry someone as opinionated and passionate as Tessa? I think they're drawn to one another because opposites do attract." A private house in a Nairobi suburb was used as the home of Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) and Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz). It belonged to the mother of film's wardrobe supervisor, Elizabeth Glaysher, who grew up there. Her mother, Sonia, had once before worked on a film shot in Kenya; she was Ava Gardner's body double in John Fords Mogambo (1953). Sonia's gardener, Celia Hardy, was the "gardening coach" for Ralph Fiennes. With the exception of some flowering plants added for color and texture by the production design crew, Justin Quayle's on-screen garden was the result of Celia's year-round handiwork. As in Kenya's Kibera, in Loiyangalani in Kenya, a welcoming community and the constant companionship of dozens of friendly, fearless children made for an unforgettable work experience for those who were there. Between takes, star Ralph Fiennes and two of the other actors were frequently obliged to ask for their set-side chairs to be vacated by local children, only to have the kids settle into their laps and perch on the arms of their chairs. The synopsis of this movie's source novel "The Constant Gardener" (2001) by John le Carré on his personal website reads: "Tessa Quayle has been horribly murdered on the shores of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the birthplace of mankind. Her putative African lover, a doctor with one of the aid agencies, has disappeared. Her husband, Justin, a career diplomat and amateur gardener at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. His quest takes him to the Foreign Office in London, across Europe and Canada and back to Africa, to the very spot where Tessa died." The Constant Gardener is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by New York Times bestselling author John le Carré, one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time.The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle -- young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well. A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carré portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In The Constant Gardener he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy, as Justin Quayle -- amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat -- discovers his own natural resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love. Dunnett grew up in the Lakewood neighborhood of Long Beach. Her lawyer mother was the family gardener; her aerospace engineer father was in charge of irrigation. After graduating from the University of California, San Diego, Dunnett studied medicine at Harvard. The director wisely avoids the clichÃ of hammering us with shot after shot of the victims of the cruelty of pharmaceutical economics. Instead, the story remains centered on our constant gardener, Justin, and his relentless search for facts. He cannot bring back his beloved wife but, hopefully, his effort will help him understand and appreciate the cause for which she died. 041b061a72 Welcome to the group!

Nico Rosberg led Lewis Hamilton home for the Silver Arrows’ 11th one-two of 2014, the German scoring his first victory since the German Grand Prix in July, a full 113 days earlier. It was Rosberg’s fifth win of the season - and the 150th for Germany in F1 - but more importantly it helped cut his deficit to team mate Hamilton in the world championship from 24 to 17 points. It all means that Rosberg can win the world title in Abu Dhabi if he wins and Hamilton finishes lower than second. He may not have won, but Hamilton denied Rosberg a first career hat-trick by claiming his seventh fastest lap of the season. Interestingly, the Mercedes team mates remained locked on 15 podium finishes apiece as we approach the final race. Behind the Mercedes duo, Williams’ Felipe Massa claimed an extremely popular third place in front of his home fans - his second podium finish of the season. The Brazilian has now claimed five of his 38 career rostrum finishes at Interlagos, making it statistically his most successful track. Elsewhere, McLaren’s Jenson Button claimed his second fourth-place finish in three races to help keep him ahead of Massa in the drivers’ standings, whilst Sebastian Vettel came home fifth for the fourth time this year to seal second place in the 2014 constructors’ standings for Red Bull. It was a less successful day for Vettel’s team mate Daniel Ricciardo, however, as he recorded his first retirement since Malaysia, bringing to an end a 15-race points streak - which was the longest in the field. The Australian did, however, seal third in the drivers' championship - his best ever finish. In other constructors’ championship news, Ferrari ensured old rivals McLaren made no headway in their battle for fourth, with Fernando Alonso coming home sixth and Kimi Raikkonen seventh to cancel out the 14 points scored by Button and team mate Kevin Magnussen (who came home ninth). Force India lost more touch with McLaren, though Nico Hulkenberg - who finished eighth for his 14th points finish of the year - did at least become just the tenth driver this season to have led at least one racing lap; the German heading the field for five laps in Sao Paulo. Meanwhile, Hulkenberg’s old team Sauber had another race to forget as Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez finished well outside the top ten. The Swiss team have never gone a full season without scoring points, so the pressure is on for Abu Dhabi. Speaking of Abu Dhabi, if Mercedes or Red Bull win at Yas Marina it will be the first season since 2007 when only two different teams have triumphed. Williams have seemed on the brink of victory all season - could they do it at the season finale? We’ll find out in two weeks’ time…
I did a presentation at the NWEA Fusion conference on “Creativity and Collaboration in Data-Driven Instruction” – basically my attempt to fit some of my favorite educational ideas all into a one-hour session. I really wanted to give those attending a chance to share ideas with each other. As I seem to say often, I think teachers are the best copyright violators in the world; we do a fantastic job of taking ideas we hear and see and making them our own. We didn’t end up having enough time to share as I would have like, but I collected the ideas they wrote on sticky notes so that I could share them here. Question: What are your favorite activities for involving creativity or getting kids working together in class? Responses from Middle Grade Teachers: – Twitter Bulletin Board – Each child creates own Twitter name – Teacher takes picture of student and puts on bulletin board with Twitter name – For rest of year, students can tweet about what they are learning, reading, etc. – Rather than re-writing sentences and using easier vocabulary: – Identify skills inherent within the paragraphs and prepare study guides, leading/guiding students to connect cause and effect, to conclusions, etc. – Provide pre-lesson vocab to front load – vocab before reading – Make a phone call during class on speaker phone – Demonstrate on video – Students act out vocabulary words – Create captions for cartoons – Vocabulary word with famous person – Who would be this word and why? – Brought in favorite rap songs to show poem skills – Students get to be “mini teachers” for math skill – Allowing kids to self-report and identify their confidence in a topic – partly cloudy, sunny, cloudy, etc. – sit in groups accordingly – Poker chips – 2 per kid – Share until gone – All share/talkers have to listen – Students made a rap about different poem skills – Did a mock trial from old cases (moral issues) – RAP videos on a math topic to introduce a new skill – Share the text – Jeopardy – Create own assessment – Krypto: Students are given 5 #’s and have to use operations to reach a target number. – Create rap for memorizing math facts – Activity: Math – Using manipulatives, (ie. green triangles, blue squares, yellow hexagon, etc.), assign a cents/dollar value to each shape. Give students a large triangle. Students have to create a “triangular” cake. Create the most expensive cake using the cake. Create the least expensive cake.

Kilpatrick was granted clemency by former President Donald Trump in 2021 after he was sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption. He was ordered to three years of supervised release and must still pay restitution for taking kickbacks while mayor. Last month, he filed a motion asking for an end to that release, saying that he had learned and changed. He also claimed that the restitution he owes was paid through liquidated and seized liquid assets from co-defendant Bobby Ferguson. However, Judge Nancy Edmunds denied that request Thursday, saying in her opinion that "Defendant has not identified any new or unforeseen circumstances that would warrant early termination of supervised release. Defendant states that he wishes to travel as a part of his new job as an ordained minister, but he admits that the probation office has approved his travel requests in the past. And any purported hardship due to the requirement that he seek prior approval for any travel is not sufficient to justify early termination." Edmunds said Kilpatrick has only paid $5,000 toward the restitution he owes. She also noted how he tried to raise $800,000 last year to buy a luxury condo in Florida. He owes more than $1.5 million. Detroit Free Press columnist M.L. Elrick has been covering Kilpatrick for decades "When I heard what Judge Edmunds said, I said 'Right on,' Elrick said. "The judge sees Kwame Kilpatrick the way people clearly see him, he’s the same guy that put the city into bankruptcy and put self-service over public service." Judge Edmonds did not hold back in her assessment. "While that effort was later canceled, it demonstrates a desire to resume his former lifestyle, rather than a focus on repaying the debts he owes. By continuing Defendant’s supervised release, the Court will ensure that Defendant will remain under supervision during continuing efforts to collect the restitution owed in this case," she said. Edmunds also noted that Kilpatrick has claimed to take responsibility for his actions while denying the crimes he was convicted of during an interview. "Such statements undermine society’s faith in our criminal justice system and do not show an acceptance of responsibility," she said. Elrick, who won a Pulitzer Prize with Freep reporter Jim Schaefer for their coverage that exposed and helped bring Kilpatrick down, concurred. "For someone with his intellect and talent it’s staggering that he thinks we’re still fooled by the same old game he’s been running since 1990-something," he said.
PARK RIDGE, Illinois - A suburban man has been charged with stealing mail from a collection box outside a post office. Kelvin Dortch Jr. has been arrested by postal inspectors after his home on Evans Avenue in Dolton was searched. Authorities said that multiple pieces of mail were found there. The mail originated from the Park Ridge Post Office, authorities said. It's not clear what led inspectors to suspect Dortch might be stealing mail, or how much mail was stolen.
SHIPPENSBURG, PA (WTXF) - The family and friends of a Shippensburg, Pennsylvania wrestling coach announced Tuesday that he was among the victims killed in the Las Vegas concert shooting Sunday night. Friends broke the news on social media, announcing that Bill Wolfe Jr. was confirmed to be among the deceased. Bill’s wife Robyn is okay, but her condition is unknown at this time. “We are saddened to share that Coach Bill Wolfe is among the victims of the tragedy that occurred in Las Vegas Sunday, October 1. His wife, Robyn, is okay but Bill's condition is presently unknown,” read a post on the GoFundMe page created for the Wolfe family. Sunday’s shooting was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, with at least 59 killed and 527 injured, some by gunfire, some during the chaotic escape. The gunman, 64-year-old high-stakes gambler and retired accountant Stephen Paddock, killed himself as authorities stormed his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino.
FAIRFAX, Va. - George Mason University has selected an engineering dean from California as its new president. The school announced Monday that Gregory Washington, dean of the engineering school at the University of California-Irvine, will become the eighth presdient in Mason's history when he takes office July 1. He takes over from Anne Holton, who assumed the office last year on an interim basis when Angel Cabrera left for Georgia Tech. Washington will be Mason's first African American president. Some Mason faculty had criticized the search for a new president as overly secretive. George Mason has 38,000 students and is Virginia's largest public university, with a highly diverse student body. “What attracted me to Mason was its reputation for having real impact, providing access and for its commitment to inclusive excellence. Those values are in direct alignment with how I operate as an academic leader," Washington said in a written statement.
Learning Through Play Our "Tell Me a Story" curriculum is a language-based approach to learning using children's literature as the foundation for developing curriculum. Concepts and activities emerge from the information and ideas presented in a particular story and incorporate the interests and experience of the children in the group. Children learn about things that are meaningful to them: things they can touch, look at, talk about, or experiment with. Studying families and communities through geography, history, culture and traditions help children share their own experiences and foster self-esteem while developing acceptance and appreciation for the way people live. Exploring the natural world of plants and animals and experimenting with water and air help children develop an understanding of things that live in their world. Observing changes in the seasons and in their bodies help children learn about growth and change. A concept or theme may be investigated for three days, three weeks, or even three months. Children and teachers work together to document and record the learning that takes place and reflect that learning in such ways as curriculum webs, group projects and classroom displays. Ages 2.9 years to 5 years Exploring, experimenting and discovering... preschool children are active learners, full of questions and enthusiasm for learning about the world around them. Through their work and play, children develop skills that promote life-long learning. The preschool environment is a lively, hands-on learning community that gives children the opportunity to become self-directed learners, working independently or with a small group of friends. The classroom is designed to foster learning through exploration and discovery. It is a place where children can feel comfortable and are welcome to be a child, asking questions, forming ideas, solving problems, uncovering the secrets of their worlds. Ages 4.9 years to 6 years In the Kindergarten Readiness program, children develop skills and understanding that create a strong base for continued learning. They are introduced to Fundations, a phonics and writing program and through their work and play, children learn the core concepts they will need to succeed in elementary school and beyond. Before School, After School and We offer many scheduling options so you can schedule your child's school day in a way that best meets your family's needs. Early drop-off, after-school and lunch bunch can be added to our preschool and Kindergarten Readiness programs as needed.
What You Should Do About Insurance Following a Divorce Divorce can be an emotionally and financially challenging life event. In the face of the many possible adjustments divorce entails, making changes to insurance coverage may be overlooked. Here's a look at each type of coverage: If there is a change in auto ownership, you may need to obtain car insurance coverage to coincide with that change. You also may want to think about removing your former spouse from a policy to protect yourself against potential liability and ensure that his or her name does not appear on any claim check. Don't forget to notify the insurance company of any address change. A divorce may mean a new place of residence for one or both spouses. Consider purchasing renter's insurance if you are moving into a new apartment. If you are staying in your present home, you may want to remove your ex-spouse's name from the policy and consider changes to any property coverage if, for instance, your former spouse is taking jewelry or other items of value from the premises. Life insurance is often purchased to cover financial obligations that may occur when a spouse passes away. Life insurance policies may be an element of your divorce agreement. If possible, consider buying a policy on a former spouse's life if he or she is providing alimony or child support.1 If you do retain a pre-existing policy, be sure to review and amend the beneficiary so that it reflects your current wishes. A disability may have an adverse impact on the ability of a former spouse to pay alimony or child support. As such, you may want to include the maintenance of such a policy in the divorce agreement.2 If you or your children are covered under your former spouse's employer group plan, you may want to contact the employer to continue coverage under COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). If you have an individual policy, you may want to consider adding your children to the policy. You may not want to duplicate coverage for your children. 1. Several factors will affect the cost and availability of life insurance, including age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Life insurance policies have expenses, including mortality and other charges. If a policy is surrendered prematurely, the policyholder also may pay surrender charges and have income tax implications. You should consider determining whether you are insurable before implementing a strategy involving life insurance. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments. 2.

food franchises. According to the National Restaurant Association, Illinois’s bustling restaurant scene generated an astonishing $37.4 billion of total sales in 2022 alone, illustrating the impressive profitability potential of the state’s food franchise sector.Boasting a rich culinary tradition and supported by a diverse population, Illinois is a cornucopia of opportunities for prospective food franchisees. With approximately 12.7 million residents and an ever-evolving palate for different dining experiences, the Prairie State provides a nurturing environment for The Allure of Illinois: Why Food Franchisees are Turning to the Prairie State A Dynamic Environment for Business: Illinois, as a potential franchise location, possesses an encouraging business landscape. The state maintains a healthy balance of well-established food culture with over 26,000 restaurants while still maintaining plenty of space for fresh, innovative culinary ventures for its 12 million residents. Food franchising is a vital industry in Illinois, with its rich agricultural heritage, diverse crop production and a robust network of food processing and distribution companies. “Restaurants are a driving force in Illinois’ economy. They provide jobs and build careers for thousands of people, and play a vital role in local communities throughout the state.” What The Data Says: Our website data indicates a low average time spent on our Illinois page, coupled with a high bounce rate, suggesting that users are not taking full advantage of the state’s benefits. This could signal a gap in the market, a need that is currently unmet. Economic stability and a proven track record of successful franchises further accentuate the attractiveness of Illinois as an ideal place to establish your food franchise. A Platter of Opportunities: Illinois’ multicultural milieu is reflected in its diverse food scene. From world-famous deep-dish pizzas and gourmet hot dogs to an array of international cuisines, the state’s food culture invites a multitude of dining preferences. This expansive culinary spectrum opens a window of opportunity for franchises that offer unique and varied menus, fostering an environment where creativity and tradition go hand in hand. The Resource Advantage From Farm to Fork: Situated in the heart of the Midwest, Illinois is known for its rich agricultural heritage. This offers potential franchisees access to a robust supply chain and efficient distribution network. Whether your food franchise is farm-to-table or international cuisine, you can maintain the freshness, quality, and sustainability that today’s consumers value. Beyond Chicago: Exploring Emerging Markets Potential in the Prairie: While Chicago, with its culinary prestige, remains an attractive hub for food franchises, the potential of Illinois stretches beyond the Windy City. Cities like Rockford, Peoria, and Springfield have begun to carve out their identities on the state’s food map. With steady economic growth, increasing demand for varied dining experiences, and lower operational costs, these emerging markets broaden the scope for new food franchises. The Role of Tourism: Illinois’s strong tourism sector presents an additional audience for your food franchise. The state attracts millions of visitors each year, from tourists eager to try a slice of deep-dish pizza to business travelers looking for a quick, delicious meal. This influx of visitors could significantly boost your food franchise’s revenue, particularly during peak tourism seasons. The Power of Franchising: A Recipe for Success For aspiring entrepreneurs in the food industry, choosing between starting from scratch or embracing a food franchise can make all the difference. With an established name, franchisees gain an immediate advantage, attracting a loyal customer base and streamlining market entry. CRAVE Hot Dogs and Barbecue is one potential food franchise in Illinois that presents an irresistible franchise opportunity, offering authentic barbecue flavors, a proven track record of success and a dedicated customer base. Choosing to become a food franchisee in Illinois unlocks a world of opportunities, where brand recognition and proven business models become the pillars of success. With the backing of an established brand and a support network that empowers growth, franchisees can unleash their culinary passion and watch it flourish into a prosperous venture. Embrace the advantages of food franchise ownership, and savor the journey of building a thriving culinary empire in the heart of Illinois. The Bottom Line: Profitability and Growth Prospects in Illinois In 2022, restaurants in Illinois generated an astonishing $37.4 billion in revenue. The numbers speak for themselves: Illinois’s food franchise market is not just promising; it’s profitable. With consistent customer demand, manageable operating costs, a thriving tourism industry, and an inviting business environment, the financial prospects for food franchises in Illinois are substantial. There’s no definitive recipe for establishing a successful food franchise. However, certain ingredients can significantly tilt the scale towards success. Illinois brings together these elements — diverse food culture, prime location, emerging markets, and proven financial success — creating an ideal blend for those seeking to step into the food franchising sector. For anyone looking to make a splash in the U.S. food industry, Illinois is a worthy consideration.

These next 55 days should be marked by a real intentionality of improved health. We don’t do vows and stuff, but what New Years resolutions are to secularity, Lent is to spirituality.Continue reading Let’s repent There’s a monastic story that left an impact on me and comes to mind a lot. The story goes like this: There was a monk who entered anchoritic life – that is, he became a solitary. In this mode of life, he gave himself up to the sweet love of God, and felt many comforts that came from heaven. He felt the active presence of God, he felt joy in his prayers, and the supernatural was ever-present with him. There were physical and spiritual signs of God’s love at all times. Continue reading The hermit who became a Bishop.

If you are in the construction business, you need the right types of insurance coverage to protect yourself. You are likely to need builders risk insurance in addition to contractors insurance. Together, these two forms of coverage can protect you against certain losses. What Is Builders Risk Insurance? Builders risk insurance is designed to cover a contractor’s equipment, materials, and property related to the construction of a building. Coverage continues until the project is complete and the owner signs off. It can provide protection against a number of risks, including: Coverage under a builders risk insurance policy may be extended to protect scaffolding and other temporary structures. It may also cover the costs of debris removal or charges made by the fire department service. What Is Contractors Insurance? Contractors general liability insurance is essential for anyone in the construction industry. It provides protection from liability for bodily injuries or property damage. It does not cover your own property or equipment. It protects you in case of an accident and any liability that may arise as a result, including legal fees to defend yourself in court, if necessary. For example, contractors insurance will kick in if: You or your employees cause injury or property damage to others Someone is injured on your property You are renting a commercial space that becomes damaged You are sued for libel, slander, copyright infringement, or false advertising Contractors Insurance & Builders Risk Insurance: Which Policy Covers What? General contractors, developers, and property owners purchase contractors general liability insurance to protect building materials and equipment and structures while they are being built. You may be required to carry this coverage as a safeguard, as general contractors are often held liable for work their subcontractors perform. For your contractors insurance to apply to damage caused to a construction project, the incident must have occurred at a covered location (typically the jobsite) and you must be legally liable for the damages. Generally, builders risk insurance covers damage related to external events – not related to the construction work. However, policies vary. Some all-risk builders policies cover a variety of loss events, except for those specifically excluded. In such a case, a builders risk insurance policy may cover property damage that occurs in the course of construction. There is a gray area between these two types of coverage because either may be able to cover damage to a project caused by a subcontractor. What Insurance Coverage Do You Really Need As A Contractor? Having the right insurance coverage is an important part of doing business in the construction industry. You must be protected in case you are working on a building and something goes wrong. Because of the gray areas between the different types of coverage, it can be a complicated process to determine what types of policies to purchase and where to file a claim, if the need arises. Our experienced agents are here to assist you. We can help you get the best quotes for the coverage you need and advise you on which policy applies if a loss occurs – builders risk insurance or contractors insurance.

Grounded is a survival game with a twist. Instead of being trapped on some horrible island with a bunch of cannibals, you are shrunken to a tiny size, trapped in a mysterious yard with all manner of bugs and insects that want to eat you. You will need to track down resources, build weapons and tools, and construct a base to keep yourself safe. Before you try to survive this experience, you will be asked to choose one of four kids to play with. This guide will explain which one is the best character to choose in Grounded. Grounded character guide — the best character to select Grounded can be played solo or with your friends, and there are four different characters to choose from: Max, Willow, Pete, and Hoops — they are the teens who find themselves in a yard full of trouble at the start of the story. If you are wondering which character is the best, then you don’t need to. All the characters are the same, with the same health, speed, and abilities. The only difference is how they look and their voice actor. If you are trying to decide which character to play, it just boils down to which one you prefer the look of. While you are playing the game, there is also a lot of dialogue as your character reacts to the things that happen around them, so you will also end up hearing their voice quite a lot. As such, the voice acting is a consideration, but all the characters we have played so far have had excellent voice work, so this isn’t a concern either. If you play solo or in a group, your characters will also exchange dialogue. Cinematic cutscenes are designed to not display any voice or likeness during them, so your character choice won’t affect the overall campaign either. So, whether you pick Max, Willow, Pete, or Hoops, you will be able to do the same things as everyone else and will not be locked out of any content or abilities.
Student Spotlight: Sara Bartoszek 1. How old are you? 2. What are the activities you do at Garden Street? Some of the activities I do at garden street are tap, jazz, ballet, voice lessons, and I am a member of the musical theater competition team. 3. What made you join the classes? Well I remember I was just taking voice lessons with Mari because I was always singing and dreamed of being on Broadway so I thought that was the first step. Then I saw a sign for auditions for Hoboken Tale and thought it could be cool. Then I heard about the competition team and wanted to join because I would take any opportunity to perform and I loved it. I've been doing it for 3 years now and last year decided to start dance. 4. What is your favorite class to take and why? That's a hard decision between my voice lessons with Neal and Mari or my tap classes with Tabatha. So let's call it a tie. 5. What is the hardest part about musical theater? I think the hardest part of musical theater is forgiving yourself. Your performance isn't always going to be perfect or go exactly as you want it to and that's okay. At some point You're voice is going to crack and you'll fall out of that turn and you need to learn that you're human and this a reason to work harder and do it better next time. 6. What is your favorite thing about being on the competition team at Garden Street? My favorite thing about being on the competition team is how close we all are. We always hang out together and mess around between classes and we all just really enjoy being together.I love all my team mates and love performing with them. 7. Do you have a favorite performance memory? My favorite performance memory was when I was doing Les Miserables over the summer and it was closing night and we had all worked so hard and we were all waiting to go onstage for the epilogue and it hit us that we weren't going to see each other for another year. And we all started crying onstage and holding hands and singing the song it was the only time I've ever cried leaving a cast I just loved that cast and the musical. I'll never forget that. 8. What activities do you do outside of Garden Street? I don't really do a lot of things outside garden street. I'm constantly going to rehearsal so I don't really have time but I am some shows at my school. 9. What advice would you give to kids looking to get into performing? As a person that gets nervous before performing this is the best advice I've ever received. The best thing you can do is prepare yourself and do your best. Your best now may not be your best usually but right now do the best you could possibly do. Leave the stage saying there is nothing else I could have possibly put into that performance and after that it's not longer up to you. It's up to the audience or the casting director it's out of your hands. Also don't compare yourself to anyone worry about yourself and always always be kind no matter what they do in the show they are apart of making it happen and you need to respect that. 10. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Hopefully still doing what I love and doing it professionally. Also I'd like to teach musical theater. I love working with kids and I'd like to share what someone who really inspires me (Lisa Capps) has taught me with other people. 11. What are your dream roles? Ellen (Miss Saigon) Clara(Light in the Piazza) Trina (Falsettos) Fantine(Les Mis) Christine(Phantom) and so so so many more I'm a huge nerd. 12. Fun Fact: One time I saw Bernadette Peters walking out the stage door at falsettos with Joel Grey and I almost fainted. As I have mentioned before I'm am Broadway nerd.
The New York Times reports: The Trump administration is considering cutting back on sharing intelligence with partner countries that criminalize homosexuality as part of a push by the acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, to prod those nations to change their laws. The intelligence community should be pushing American values with the countries it works with, Mr. Grenell said in an interview this week. “We can’t just simply make the moral argument and expect others to respond in kind because telling others that it’s the right thing to do doesn’t always work,” he said. But, he added, “to fight for decriminalization is to fight for basic human rights.” The Hill reports: Nearly 70 countries criminalize homosexuality, including U.S. intelligence partners like Egypt, Kenya and Saudi Arabia. Grenell did not clarify if the new policy would withhold additional cooperation or just curtail the information that is given to the countries. “If a country that we worked in as the United States intelligence community was arresting women because of their gender, we would absolutely do something about it,” Grenell said. “Ultimately, the United States is safer when our partners respect basic human rights.”

On 16 December 2019, Michelle Fermin Velez of Eastbourne, pleaded guilty to illegally offering tooth whitening and was ordered to pay over £1000 in fines and legal costs by Hasting Magistrates’ Court. Following a complaint received in July 2019 from a member of the public, our criminal enforcement team launched an investigation. Jenny Stewart, Head of In-House Appeals and Criminal Enforcement at the GDC said: “Our primary purpose at the GDC is to protect the public from harm. Illegal tooth whitening represents a real risk as those who carry it out are neither qualified to assess a patient’s suitability for the treatment nor are they able to intervene should an emergency arise. The GDC takes reports of illegal practice of dentistry very seriously and, where appropriate, will prosecute in the criminal courts.” Under the Dentists Act 1984, and following the High Court's ruling in GDC v Jamous, the legal position in relation to tooth whitening is very clear. The treatment can only be performed by a dentist or a dental therapist, dental hygienist or a clinical dental technician working to the prescription of a dentist. Anyone considering tooth whitening should first check the register of dental professionals on our website here to ensure the individual offering the treatment is qualified to do so. If you suspect any cases of illegal practice, report it here.
Marvel Studios has finally released the trailer for – the now officially titled – Deadpool & Wolverine! And it looks absolutely bloody awesome. Everyone’s talking about the new Deadpool movie due out in May, which means we’re not only speculating about potential future story points and characters, we’re also revisiting older facts. For instance, did you know that Ryan Reynolds paid $10,000 of his own money to wear a t-shirt with Bea Arthur on it in the first […] Here at Geek Native, we’ve featured a couple of posts about some of the wild, cute and incredible cosplays at San Diego Comic-Con, so, when we spotted this video of a Deadpool cosplayer getting up to Deadpool-style hijinks, we just HAD to share! NOTE: We don’t know this cosplayer, apart from their account is P.Diddy […] It’s come to my attention that some people have been worried about Deadpool 3. More specifically, Disney watering it down to just a fraction of the glory of the previous movies. However, luckily I didn’t have to worry for too long (or at all), because now Karan Soni, who plays Dopinder in the movie has […] Choosing a couple’s cosplay isn’t just an excuse to show the world that you’re together, but it can also help make both of your costumes stand out. Every convention has its share of cosplayers doing Rule 63 cosplays depicting characters with their genders switched. Geek hardware site Ebuyer has been obsessing over superheroes lately. Trends in cosplay tend to say less about just cosplayers specifically and more about what is generally popular with the majority of attendees at the convention. Here’s what is hot right now in late 2021. A company called Lovepop isn’t as dodgy as it sounds. It sells pop-up cards. The latest in the Master Craft series is a hand-made and painted model that breaks the fourth wall. Hungry Deadpool has decided to sell himself tacos, and the model is based on the comic book design.

Exploration and monitoring of targets at drillable depths are becoming increasingly important to identify sustainable energy supplies (e.g., geothermal reservoirs), geo-resources (e.g. mineral, hydrocarbon, water) or underground storage sites (CO2, nuclear waste). Electrical conductivity is linked with constituents of rocks, such as fluids and mineralized networks. Hence, it is a key parameter to understand processes governing a wide range of geodynamic processes but also geothermal and hydrocarbon reservoirs, or mineral deposits or hydrological systems. In this talk, I will highlight how electromagnetic (EM) methods can be used to address these issues based on four years of controlled-source and natural EM measurements across a producing oil field in Lower Saxony, Germany. I will show recent and cheap developments of hardware and surveying strategies that enable to increase sensitivity to reservoirs located at more than 500 m depth with surface measurements, achievements in measurement repeatability, and as numerical developments that allow consideration of infrastructure such as steel-cased wells in 3D EM modelling. While EM methods have been applied for natural resources exploration for more than a century, monitoring of subsurface processes with continuous or time-lapse EM measurements has only recently attracted a wider interest, at least in practice. I will conclude this presentation with an outlook on potential targets for EM monitoring and discuss developments needed to detect and locate subsurface changes reliably.
Attribute mapping is a critical aspect of any data management system. In the context of Teamcenter Integration with NX, attribute mapping refers to the process of linking attributes in the NX CAD system to corresponding attributes in the Teamcenter data management system. This process is essential to ensure that the data in the NX CAD system is correctly managed and controlled in the Teamcenter environment. The attribute mapping process involves the identification of the attributes in the NX system that need to be mapped to attributes in the Teamcenter system. These attributes can be related to various aspects of the CAD model, such as geometry, material properties, manufacturing information, and so on. Once the attributes have been identified, the next step is to define the mapping rules. The mapping rules determine how the attributes in the NX system will be linked to the corresponding attributes in the Teamcenter system. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the complexity of the mapping process and the number of attributes involved. Attribute mapping is crucial for effective data management in the Teamcenter environment. It allows users to control and manage the data in the NX CAD system more effectively, ensuring that the data is accurate, up-to-date, and consistent across all systems. Moreover, attribute mapping also facilitates data sharing and collaboration among team members, enabling them to work on the same data while ensuring that the data remains consistent and accurate. In summary, attribute mapping is a crucial component of the Teamcenter Integration with NX. It enables effective data management and control, facilitates collaboration among team members, and ensures that the data in the NX CAD system is accurately managed and controlled in the Teamcenter environment.

Ghana receives $4.8m from World Bank for reducing carbon emissions in forest landscapes Ghana has received an amount of $4,862,280 for reducing 972,456 tons of carbon emissions. The payment from a World Bank trust fund for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, commonly known as REDD+, makes Ghana the second country in Africa after Mozambique to receive the payment. In a press release from the Bank copied to Ghana Business News, the Bank says the payment is for the first monitoring period under the programme, from June to December 2019. “This payment is the first of four under the country’s Emission Reductions Payment Agreement (ERPA) with the World Bank to demonstrate potential for leveraging results based payments for carbon credits,” Pierre Laporte, World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, was quoted as saying. “Subject to showing results from actions taken to reduce deforestation, Ghana is eligible to receive up to $50 million for 10 million tons of CO2 emissions reduced by the end of 2024,” he added. The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) is a global partnership of governments, businesses, civil society, and Indigenous Peoples’ organizations focused on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, forest carbon stock conservation, the sustainable management of forests, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries, activities commonly referred to as REDD+. Launched in 2008 the FCPF has worked with 47 developing countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean, along with 17 donors that have made contributions and commitments totalling $1.3 billion. In his remarks, Samuel A. Jinapor, Ghana Minister for Lands and Natural Resources said, “The many years of dialogue, consultations, and negotiations with local communities, traditional authorities, government agencies, private sector, CSOs, and NGOs have paid off. “This emission reductions payment will further promote confidence in Ghana’s REDD+ process for action to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while empowering local community livelihoods. The road to global 1.5 degrees cannot be achieved without healthy standing forests, and Ghana is committed to making it possible,” he said. Ghana is the world’s second-largest cocoa producer. Cocoa drives the economy, but it is also one of the main causes of deforestation and forest degradation in the southeast and western regions of the country. Stakeholders are working to help some 140,000 Ghanaian farmers increase cocoa production using climate-smart agro-forestry approaches, rather than slash and burn land-clearing techniques that decimate forests. More sustainable cocoa farming helps avoid expansion of cocoa farms into forest lands and secures more predictable income streams for communities. The Bank indicates that Ghana’s Cocoa Board is participating in the REDD+ process, as are some of the most important cocoa and chocolate companies in the world, including World Cocoa Foundation members like Mondelēz International, Olam, Touton, and others. “Their combined actions are not only helping bring change to the cocoa sector, but they are also helping Ghana meet its national emissions reductions commitments under the Paris Agreement. This level of collaboration is also reflected in the benefit sharing plan underpinning Ghana’s’ ERPA with the World Bank. Prepared through extensive consultations with local stakeholders and civil society organizations throughout the country, the plan ensures all participating stakeholders are fairly recognized and rewarded for their role in reducing emissions,” the release added.

Total tour distance: 115 miles Daily tour distance: 40 miles Difficulty: 50 / 100 We're a cycling club from Moscow and we're going to discover the beauty of the pine forests and rocky hills of the North Kazakhstan. The place is cozy, unique and picturesque and unknown to most tourists - thus we'll have the whole countryside just to ourselves! We'll climb several hills and explore an abandoned mine during the first two hiking days. We'll then start our 4-day cycling tour to explore forest waterfalls, enjoy the wild berries, camp on 2 picturesque lakes and just enjoy the cycling. We'll cycle mostly on non-asphalt roads, sometimes trying to find roads which are not clearly shown on the maps - so do prepare for some adventures too! We'll be caring our camping stuff (tents, sleeping bags, etc.) ourselves. All in all we'll spend 3 nights in a hotel and 4 nights camping in the forest/on the lakes. The maximum total cost of the trip is 30 000 RUR (around 560 USD), including flights from Moscow - these are your direct expenses, the tour is non-commercial. There's also an option to meet us in Tumen, Russia, (we're going by minivan from there), in this case the cost will be 15 RUR (around 280 USD), excluding flights to Tumen. Another option would be meeting us in Kokchetav, Kazakhstan, the cost them would be around 10 RUR (around 185 USD), excluding the flights to Kokchetav/Astana. We're taking our own bicycles from Moscow, if you require any support with the rental, we'll be able to arranfe that at an extra cost. Just a couple of words about our club - we've been organizing both commercial and non-commercial cycling, hiking and sightseeing tours in Russia and FSU for over 6 years by now.

Received this vase (style c) as a birthday present. It is beautiful. Heavier than I expected, which is good and this finish is lovely. Artwork is very delicate and the vase has a lovely smooth, tactile finish. I am very happy receiving this cup, quality is superb. Already annoying my tea ceremonies. What would be nice is to have some kind of first use instructions how to prepare this cup is it's needed at all? Another idea for the shop would be having some kind of tea samples to order or add one to the package as a gift to try out. Beautiful cup! A little pricey, but very well made and good size. Absolutely stunning piece. I use it every morning for my tea / gratitude ritual and it has really helped me take a few moments to check in and be present, and I wouldn't have felt as much gravity if it weren't as beautifully crafted as it is, extremely high quality, beautiful to look at & touch & most importantly of all, brews the perfect amount of tea.

Following the guide, you can properly take care of the cart batteries. How To Clean Golf Cart Batteries? Mostly, an electric golf cart has six batteries. Since the carts are driven on the golf course, they get dirty. If they are not cleaned properly, soon there will be corrosion build-up and damage the cart batteries.. So never neglect to clean golf cart batteries. You can do clean them in under 30 minutes. How you will start, go through the article. Avoid skipping any step. Before you start [Safety Precautions] The battery is dangerous because it contains acidic substances. It can splash or explode and your face and clothes will be covered in it. The acid can burn your skin and destroy your clothes. That’s why you need to wear acid-proof safety goggles or a face shield. Never put your eyes at risk. Also, wear a pair of heavy-duty acid-proof rubber gloves. It would be better if you remove other accessories like a watch, ring, bracelets, etc. Sometimes batteries can overheat or be overcharged and there is a chance of blowing. If the top of the battery blows, the acid will spatter. Wear long-sleeved clothes that are damaged if you don’t want to ruin good clothes. Step By Step Instruction to Clean Golf Cart Batteries After ensuring the proper safety of your eyes and skin, you need to start cleaning your golf cart batteries. Here you will need some items that can be found in every house. Below is the complete guide to clean golf cart batteries. Step 1: Prepare A Spot Choose an open, clear spot where you won’t have to worry about damage to the ground. While claiming, the battery acid can leak out and damage grass or stain concrete. If you are cleaning in the garage, the acid can damage the garage floor. So it would be better to clean on the top of some gravel, the acid will be less effective. Step 2: Prepare Golf Cart In the golf cart, the batteries are placed under the seat. You need to prop the seat to expose the batteries. Then disconnect the batteries in the golf cart. Make sure, the battery vents are tightly shut and are not plugged into the charger. Turn off your golf cart and remove the key as well. Skip cleaning the batteries, if you have just arrived from a long drive. Because the battery will be hot and difficult to clean. Step 3: Prepare The Cleaning Solution To clean the batteries, you will need baking soda, warm water, and a water hose. Mix warm water and baking soda, the portion may vary but remember, don’t make a paste of them. However, you can use a golf cart battery cleaner if you have one. A toothbrush is also needed to fasten your cleaning process. Step 4: Remove Excessive Dirt Set your water hose on a light setting, then spray on the batteries. You may see dirt and corrosion. A light mist will spray everything clean. Step 5: Clean Battery Terminals Pour the baking soda and warm water solution into all the terminals. After pouring the liquid all over the terminals, set the liquid for about five minutes. Then give a scrub with a toothbrush to each terminal. Baking soda solution will help you to remove corrosion from the top of the battery. Use moderate force while scrubbing with a toothbrush. Step 6: Rinse The Solution When you lift up most of the corrosion, it is time to rinse the batteries. Spray water with the hose. Set the water flow at high power and it should clean all the debris. Then let the battery dry. Step 7: Inspect & Protect When you clean up all the batteries, now, you should inspect all of them. Check for any cracks in the battery casing and connections. Inspect the terminals if they are in good condition or not. You can use the battery terminal protector for long-lasting usage of golf cart batteries. It is a gel-type element and helps to decrease corrosion for a long time. Why do you need battery terminal protector for golf cart? After cleaning the batteries, you need to take steps to free them from corrosion. It is a good idea to use some product to prevent this corrosion build-up. There are many commercial products that are used as battery terminal protectors. Actually, many use petroleum jelly in this regard. This jelly protects the battery terminals and prevents corrosion from developing in the terminals. Using these products, you can maintain corrosion-free battery terminals for an extended period. How to maintain golf cart batteries? For the healthy function of the cart batteries, they need proper maintenance. Here are some tips to follow for taking care of your golf cart batteries. Charging the golf cart batteries Charging is the most important thing to maintain a battery for a longer period. Before charging you should check your golf cart battery cahrger in a proper way. When you plug the batteries, make sure they are fully charged. Moreover, keep the cart batteries at full charge when the cart is not in use. While charging, pay attention to some things: - Charging your golf cart batteries in a well-ventilated area. - Don’t make any smoke while charging or any type of maintenance of golf cart batteries. - Never charge the battery that has dry cells or loose terminals. It is not necessary to recharge the golf cart after every single use. But if you do so after every single use, you can drive your cart without any hassle and you will be ready to go whenever you want. However, golf cart batteries can lose their capability after some time. When your cart is sitting in the garage or storage for a few weeks at a time, it is recommended to disconnect and reconnect the golf cart battery charger every few days. Watering Golf Cart Battery The water level in the cart battery is an essential checking. Make sure the water level of your golf cart battery cells is an ideal height. For most of the batteries, the water line should be above the lead element and an inch from the top of the cell. When the lead element is right at the water level or above it, pour some distilled water to level up the waterline. Don’t use tap water because it contains traces of chemicals and they can damage the golf cart batteries in the long run. It is recommended to check the water level in the battery cells at least once every two months. It will make sure your battery won’t damage due to low water levels. Always refill the water in the golf cart batteries after fully charging the golf cart. If you maintain the right water level after every charge, your cart batteries will be in good condition. If you maintain your cart batteries properly, it will certainly help the golf cart to move faster and ensure longer life length of the cart batteries. Frequently Asked Questions – How To Clean Golf Cart Batteries Can I use coke to get rid of battery corrosion? Yes, you can use coke to remove battery corrosion. Well, it sounds weird but it actually works. Coke is a helpful element in cleaning purposes. But you may face a sticky mess if you don’t wash it off entirely afterward. However, it is one kind of experiment so better you skip this element. Baking soda solution is handier. Does vinegar clean battery terminals? Vinegar has a wide array of usage. You can also use it to clean golf cart terminals. But many claim that vinegar is less effective than baking soda and water. Baking soda solution works best for cleaning batteries. Plain water also removes corrosion, but it will need more time. Can baking soda neutralize battery acid? Baking soda can neutralize battery acid. It needs several minutes to work.

Can you wash golf cart batteries with water spray? You can use water spray to wash golf cart batteries. But you need to control the water pressure.

Good Life Adoption Process How much does it cost to adopt a Good Life Dog Rescue Dog? Our rehoming fee is £350. Our adoption fee includes full vaccinations and a health check, a lead and collar, microchipping and treatments for flea and worming. This also includes the full cost of neutering for males and half the cost of neutering for females. Due to very high veterinary bills we ask people to remain under our local vets for the spaying surgery of our female dogs. If you are unable to do so we will ask people to pay the difference in cost to half of spaying surgery. Advice is also given by ourselves and we remain here to offer help and support once you have adopted the dog should you need it. For any more details on the adoption process please call 07843 151819 to discuss further. Please read the details below for our adoption procedure. Please ensure careful consideration has been given prior adoption Please make sure that you have given considerable thought to the lifetime commitment of owning a pet prior to undergoing any of the below procedures. Veterinary bills are costly and owning a dog is very time consuming. Dogs need dedicated time and care and it is a huge responsibility and lifetime commitment for you and the dog. Four steps to rehome a Good Life rescue dog Step One: Visit the adoption page and read the dogs profile details Before we can match a dog with you you will need to visit our adoptions page and read the details on all our dogs. Each dog has a profile page with details on their temperament and the sort of homes they are looking for. Once you have read the information and find the dog that best matches you and your lifestyle then click on the adopt me button and fill in an application form. If you are unable to fill in the application form please email us with details about yourself to firstname.lastname@example.org We will then come back to you. Step Two: Speak to us at Good Life Having filled in an application we will come back to you at Good Life via a telephone call. We will potentially need a few more specific points with you regarding your preferences and the dog you are interested in. We will work hard to acknowledge your application even if we feel the dog applied for does not match your lifestyle and criteria. Step Three: You will be invited to meet the rescue dog Having spoken to us regarding the dog and having collated more details about you will be invited to come and meet the dog at our kennels. Please note the kennels we use is not owned by our charity and we pay to board here and use the facilities. You will now be able to spend time with the dog and take the dog on a walk accompanied initially with a member of Good Life. On return you can also spend time with the dog off lead in an enclosure. Getting to know the dog and them you is an essential part of the rehoming procedure and finding a perfect match. Step Four: Further visits if needed and videos of your property It may be depending on the dogs temperament that a further visit is needed. Any dogs that need extra time and TLC with potential owners is essential to create a bond. If further visits are not needed then we will collate more details from you and you us regarding pet advice and details on the individual need of that dog. The next stage is for our charity to require a video of your garden and property. Vet references during Covid have also been provided from your pets previous veterinary practice. Due to Covid situation we have been unable to visit peoples homes due to social distancing measures. Other procedures are in place to ensure the dogs adoption as paramount. Please ensure your commitment to adoption of rescue dogs Please ensure that you have given serious thought to adopting and are committed to working with your adopted dog prior to getting in touch. Many rescue dogs have suffered trauma, a difficult life of abuse and neglect. Many have struggled in life. All rescue dogs need time to adjust in a new home with new people. They can often feel bewildered and anxious just like humans in a new environment. Some rescue dogs can settle immediately or this can take time to adjust. A settling in period is essential and serious thought needs to be given prior to adoption. Rescue dogs can take anything from four to five weeks to feel secure and less anxious. Please ensure you have given essential thought to adoption. We work hard to match humans and hounds so a happy life can be enjoyed by both. Although it is essential that our rescue dogs back into our care we feel that animals that are returned are even more broken and distressed at losing a home for the second time. Please ensure you are committed for a rescue dogs lifetime commitment prior to adoption. Thank you.
Teen Drinking and Your Liability Despite the overwhelming research documenting the health and behavioral consequences of underage drinking, some parents believe that allowing minors to drink under their supervision may lead to more responsible drinking in their adult years. Other parents believe that allowing minors to drink in the home is a better alternative to drinking outside the home. Regardless of your parental approach to your teen children and drinking, when teens drink at home, you may be exposed to substantial civil liability. Even if it occurred while you were away or without your consent.1 Social Host Laws At least 43 states have laws that make social hosts civilly liable for injuries or damages caused by underage drinkers, and many states have criminal penalties for adults who host or permit parties with underage drinking in their homes or in premises under their control.2 State laws vary, so the precise circumstances under which you may be held liable will depend upon the state in which you live. The liability to which you may be subject may include medical bills, property damage, and pain and suffering. The most effective way to avoid this risk is not to allow any alcohol at teen parties that may be hosted in your home. Since you may be liable for teen drinking in your home even when it occurs without your consent (e.g., while you’re on a well-deserved weekend getaway), make sure you have adequate personal liability coverage. 1.

Written By Madison Clarke Published on 21 January 2022 When making a Board game, there are many different components and materials to choose from. Even in a seemingly simple piece such as a card, the paper used can have different cores, weight, and finish. Boxes are of various thicknesses and sizes as well, depending on how durable you wish the game to be, how big, or the general impression it gives. Miniature, dice, and other components are made from entirely different materials, etc. All these specifications need to be decided upon before starting the manufacturing process. Good New Games will help you understand these specifications and their costs so you can make a knowledgeable decision. Design Files and Plan Mass Production People work hard, or hire an artist to do the artwork. Each piece looks splendid, but it’s time to lay them out for print. At times, you will want to get as much as possible out of a sheet of paper and lower costs, and at other times you will want to have the pieces laid out in particular order. Good New Games has its graphic designers that will put your pieces together while maximizing space and laying them in the design that suits you. Good New Games will also provide you with a dedicated OneDrive link that you can add all your files up to. This stage is crucial for the efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness of the production. In this stage, Good New Games will decide with the factory the manufacturing timeline, the worker placement, and the quality control procedures. It will limit unwanted surprises and allow Good New Games to record the progress of the game and update you instantly on every step. Subscribe to Newsletter Subscribe to receive the latest blog posts to your inbox. A mass-produced game is not printed in the same way as a print and play game. One of the differences in the printing method used. While print and play games are printed by digital printers that use a toner moving along the page, offset printers use plates that stamp the page with desired color and design. Generally, there are four metal plates, one for each of the four CMYK colors. Each metal plate is engraved with the design of one color alone. Throughout the printing, the page moves under the four plates, and each one of them stamps the page with its designated color. Four colors are enough to make a complete picture. During this stage Good New Games must ensure that the shades and color mixes used on the plates stay consistent, so to avoid a print that comes out faded or inconsistent. Following the printing, we must make sure the color stays and does not fade away, even after a couple of years. For that, we put an oil coating or lamination on the paper. Both the coating and lamination are either matte or glossy. Some game publishers use coarse linen finish, where the surface of the card seems to have lines on them. Gluing & Sticking the Printed Paper to the Cardboard After the print and finish have been done, we move to the step of constructing the game pieces and box. In this stage, we take cardboard (depending on the thickness you chose) and glue the print onto it. The paper passes under big metal rollers with glue, and then a person or a machine sticks the cardboard onto it. Have you ever seen some crooked pieces in board games, uneven sides, or paper that peels off the cardboard? That is what happens if you don’t keep a close eye on the process. So, the cards were printed, the paper and cardboard of pieces glued together. Now it’s time to cut them into individual pieces, or keep them on one board and ready them for punch out. Cutting is an essential process that if something goes wrong, it has a direct effect on the quality of the game, and there is no going back if something goes wrong. The process is simple: the paper and cardboard go into a press machine. The press machine has a cutting mold attached to it with small knives organized according to the shape of the pieces. These knives need to be sharp and exact; otherwise, when a customer comes to punch out, a small part of the paper might come off the piece, or the cardboard will crack and fall apart a bit. Adding Miniatures, Dice and Other Components There are two ways to produce miniatures: one is a 3D printing machine, where the factory uses the STL file directly to print the miniature. And the second is an injection mold, where the factory first makes a wax sculpture, then creates a mold and then injects the material of the miniature (mostly pvc) into the mold and dries it right after. Both processes are done by machine, the difference is that an injection mold is much faster and much cheaper. One machine can do a couple hundred a day, where 3D printing can do only a couple dozen only. However, getting the mold is quite expensive. Good New Games cooperates with suppliers in inner cities of China, where the cost for creating mold is lower by 1000USD or more. If you want small trays, plastic separators, dice or anything else. There are two ways to go about it. The first is to find matching pieces that are already in stock at some factories and then buy the components off the factories for cheap. The second option is to make them from scratch (obviously it will cost more). Therefore, you need to ask yourself how flexible you are willing to be. Hero Time will ask over one hundred factories until it finds the piece that most resembles your need. Packing and Shrink Wrapping Have you ever got a game that was missing a board or a piece, did you ever open a game and found some unrelated stuff in it? These mistakes do sometimes happen and can cause a lot of headaches. Avoid it. Make sure the packaging process is well organized and that each employee knows what pieces he puts where. After each game is boxed and closed, they go through a shrink wrap machine that puts a thin layer of transparent wrapper around the game to make sure it stays new until the end customer gets it. Shipping and Fulfillment Customs, CBM, LCL, FCL, etc. Shipping is probably the most abstract and unknown of them all. How to calculate the price, who to talk to, which company or forwarded to use etc. Leave it to us. We will explain everything to you as you proceed with the order. Regarding the price, we will provide you an estimated price at the start of the project so there will be no surprises towards the end. If you have Kickstartered your project, you probably have a list of 200 more customers, all with different addresses. Rather than shipping all the game to one address and from there to the customers, it is better and cheaper to send from the factory to the end customer. It is a great idea and will save you A LOT of money. Good New Games works closely with fulfillment and distribution agents, so all your games will get to their right place without you needing to do anything about it. Sit and Enjoy the fruit of your labor Yes. You will get your game; you will hold it, and feel immense satisfaction. YOU HAVE DONE IT. Well, not quite. Now it is time to sell it and get a return on your investments. If you have no capabilities for that, do not worry. Good New Games partnered with E Mobility Now, the third largest distributor in California. They will take your games, promote it online, place it at stores, and more.
