Karen has worked with us on a consultancy basis from the start of our home renovation project, and has always been professional, courteous and easy to deal with.
She closely considered our initial architect’s plans and came up with a number of significant design improvements, which we had not thought of. We enjoy the benefit of these amendments on a daily basis, and are so grateful for Karen’s input. She showed she really understood what we needed as a family, while always respecting our budget and personal style.
Karen’s efficiency and work ethic are equal to her refined taste. She has sourced, for us, some beautiful pieces from all around the world as well as here in Australia. The trust and good relationship she has with suppliers made all our transactions easy and fuss free. It has been a lovely experience working with her on Jorge and my new home in Killara.
I have known of Karen Batchelor for over 20 years and have watched her business grow exponentially whilst trading in the UK. I could not believe my luck when she decided to transport her expertise (and home) to Australia, and I snapped her up to help me when I moved house and desperately needed her incredible sense of style and gift in pulling a cohesive look together. 4 years later I am not letting her go and still call on her for even the smallest of jobs! Her success in business and creatively, both here and in the UK, has been in no small part down to her amazing ability to understand her clients and adapt to every need and whim, whilst also offering expert and well placed advice and guidance. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen for any job, large or small, she is an intuitive and talented designer, and also now a good friend.
Karen made the difference between our home looking good, to being perfect for us. She was able to listen to our ideas, guide us with subtle suggestions as well as introducing new concepts we hadn’t ever considered. The detailing, the quality and range of products recommended and Karen’s absolute professionalism all resulted in a home which reflects our family perfectly.

Run by Paul Sahner the ambitious website seeks to map the entire city "street by street and block by block" through photos. In addition to simply capturing present-day neighborhoods, though, the site also gives a peek of what specific areas looked like in the past, comparing the two in its "Before & After" section. Check out some screenshots of New York City's past and present with the interactive slider on NYC Grid's website.

As I realised seeing the results of my first roll of 120 film in the Yashica, portrait was something I should try more often. Melbourne summer is a great time to shoot natural lights portraits and I did a lot of that. I also wanted to try the infamous Tri-X 400 from Kodak after I heard so many good things about it (read this wonderful piece if you want to get an idea of the devotion this black and white magic film has been developing (pun intended) since 1954. I don’t know if it’s the lab settings, the scans of my choice of post processing, but I have to say I was expecting something much more contrasted. But maybe it was (and it still is) me?
During a beautiful summer picnic in Albert Park, Melbourne, I shot this picture of Elodie, our au pair at the time. I still have great memories of this day. Simple things: get a few sandwiches, dips and drinks in a bag, and just walk to the park on a Friday evening… Aussie style! As stated before, I was a bit surprised by the contrast levels out of the lab. After the contrasty Ilford Delta 100, I wanted something even punchier… Nothing Lightroom (or a dark room) could not fix, though.

I think I hate christmas now. With all of our relatives coming here, I share my room with 4 other people...and no internet time past checking email. If I even thought about this site, a dozen slackers would join just to annoy me and they would destroy the good in this site...Sorry I wasn't on.
don't worry, I don't think Anyone was really on. And no one isn't busy at christmas. I've been living at a local mall for the past week. Or 2.
And we've had wind, wind, wind, and more wind. If we had power, the phonelines were likely down, or we were somewhere else.
Isn't life lovely? We've been up all night because we just got back from a aunt a few hours away...and finally have internet.
No, life is not lovely.
Yeah, it's christmas season. Candy is worth being unable to get on.
I had to share my room with 5 girls who wanted to use me like a barbie. you think you had it bad?
I had a good christmas. was I the only one?
I had a deplorable christmas. So what? I got a new iPod, so I'm happy.
And you think you're not? Wow. Hypocrite.
That's a nice word too, by the way.
...no big words. they're making my head hurt.
What? You're the dictionary we use to figure out these words though!
Sadly, I don't think she likes us using long words anymore.
I know it's spelled wrong. So sue me.
I think you got it right, but I"m unwilling to check.
What about that lung disease?
I won't be on for a while...for those that don't check the away board.
I agree with the fish and the disease being long. And I add that I'm annoyed that Kats leaving. But I acknowledge that.
Hey guys, just dropping in (a little late I'm afraid) to say that I'm really not sure whether I'll be able to keep going with this, since my workload has tripled recently.
If you're going away, post on the away thread. Duh.
And sorry to hear that.
Not everyone notices that thread. be nice.
Poor Kiri! We want you back!
Mostly, my dad is a KLUTZ.
thanksgiving he broke a leg and some ribs falling down stairs.
about a week and a half ago, he broke his elbow falling up stairs.
yesterday, he managed to use his sling to break his collar bone.
He's breaking bones left and right.

CHICAGO — Chicago's gang members back in the day not only carried business cards; they wore varsity-type sweaters, too.
The sweaters came in a variety of colors — gray for Mad Lads, black and yellow for the Centurians, and black with deep purple stripes for the Kool Gents. Many of the gangs' sweaters also came with patches. The Uptown Rebels wore red sweater with a Confederate flag-styled patch.
The gang history site Almighty Gaylords 712 said gang members would try to capture rivals' sweaters.
"It was just as coveted to beat up and steal a rival gang member's sweater as it was to hold onto your own," said Zach Jones, creator of the website chicagoganghistory.com. "The sweater game was deadly and violent almost as much as drug turf is to gangs these days.
"Gangs would have prized collections of stolen sweaters that some guys hung onto for many years," Jones said. "It was exhilarating to steal a rival's sweater and it was a mission of gangs to make it happen, the more you get, the more of a badass you are."
The gangs wore sweaters from the 1950s through the early 1990s. Then, like the gangs' business cards, the sweaters went out of style. Almighty Gaylords 712 said police in the 1990s also began confiscating the sweaters, and gang members themselves stopped wearing them because it made them targets for shootings or arrests.
Chicago Police activity against gang members wearing sweaters began as early as 1981, according to the Tribune, when officers "began to harass people wearing gang sweaters and other suspected gang members, generally charging them with disorderly conduct." The Tribune also noted that knitting mills in the 1980s slowed their production of the sweaters because gang members would break into the factories and steal them.
Some sweaters can be bought on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. There are also vintage patches available that sell for less than $100 each.
Check out of the photos above, and there's a lengthy list of more pictures — including one with a man holding a gun while showing off a gang sweater — here.

Svante Arrhenius was the first to claim global warming to be due to “green house” gas emissions in 1896. A Swedish scientist who suggested the effects of fossil fuel on enhanced global warming. This finding was a by-product of research on the possible impacts of carbon dioxide on the great Ice Ages by Arrhenius and Chamberlin. The topic was forgotten for a very long time and it was thought than human influences were insignificant compared to the natural warming of the earth’s atmosphere by solar activity and ocean circulation. The oceans were thought to cancel out the atmospheric pollution by being carbon sinks and that water vapor was seen as a much more influential greenhouse gas.
Since 1940’s research on carbon dioxide started to expand with developments in infrared spectroscopy and impacts of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor on the absorption of heat. In the 1950’s and 1960’s it became clear that the ocean could never be a complete sink of carbon dioxide and the atmospheric lifetime of carbon dioxide was estimated to be about 10 years. Quantitative data that the oceans absorb nearly a third of man-made carbon dioxide was made possible by carbon-14. This radio-isotope can trace the time-space dynamics of atmospheric carbon dioxide, i.e. both natural and artificial.
In 1950’s and early 1960’s Charles Keeling used the most modern technologies to produce concentration curves for atmospheric carbon dioxide in Antarctica and Mauna Loa. The curves showed a downward trend of global annual temperature from the 1940’s to the 1970’s and it was first feared that a new ice age might be near. In the 1980’s, the global annual mean temperature curve started to rise and began to increase so steeply in late 1980’s, an upcoming new ice age was strongly questioned and the global warming theory began to win terrain fast. In 1988 it was finally acknowledged that climate was warmer than any period since 1880 and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded. In 1990’s scientists started to question the greenhouse effect theory, because of major uncertainties in the data sets and model outcomes. So far not many measures have been taken to remove all the uncertainties in climate change. It is a global problem that is hard to be solved by single countries. While accepting the existing uncertainties for the time being we can’t prevent major climate and weather disasters to take place. How shall we mitigate the increasing frequency and magnitude of climate and weather disasters whether they are natural or artificial? Though the situation can be similar to earth quakes, where we know they do take place but we do not know with certainty when, where and what to do to safe/protect our lives. Climate and weather disasters have much more devastating and irreversible impacts and threats on all life forms on the earth and can take place on much more larger scales.

It is interesting to note that none of the former strong St. Petersburg Mayors has gone on to a stellar political career.
The results of the St. Petersburg Mayoral race were disappointing, but not unexpected. Smarter political observers than me were quietly projecting that Kriseman would win by a narrow margin, and win he did.
This election brings the switch of St. Petersburg governance full circle.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s as the then power brokers of the day rewrote the City Charter, they tried to prepare the way for those who wanted to run for Mayor to do so in a nonpartisan way. The thinking was if the election was nonpartisan, strong candidates who were not career politicians would come forward to run.
The nonpartisan approach was to eliminate political party control over the City government, prevent cronyism and allow participation for those who might not have access to political party financial support. Political Action Committees (PACS) were not even on the radar.
The Charter did not and probably could not contain in enforcement or penalty mechanisms to enforce the nonpartisan requirements, and if it had they would have likely been struck down by the courts.
It was a grand idea, and it worked in sort of/kind of way up until Rick Kriseman was elected the first time.
Those of us, who were there when the transition occurred from council/manager to the strong mayor were absolutely sure that the nonpartisan requirement would not last forever, and prediction of the nonpartisan election ranged from 10 to 20 tears. They were not far off.
There will be a lot of postmortems for this election, I may even write one, but the fact is this election was destined to happen.
You can blame Trump, Obama, the RNC, The DNC, the PACS, voter lethargy or whatever, but we live in an ever-politicizing society.
The real looser here was St. Petersburg.
St. Pete has enjoyed a robust political history since the strong mayor was instituted. Good Mayors, for the most part, all ethical and honest, all hard working for St. Petersburg not so much for their political careers or the Party. Little or no corruption, modest if any cronyism, no one charged or incarcerated.
It is interesting to note that none of the former strong St. Petersburg Mayors has gone on to a stellar political career. They are still in St. Pete working to make their City a better place.
It will be difficult to get the non-politician to run for Mayor in St. Pete because of the threat of Political Party involvement and the amount of money it will take to mount a campaign.
St. Petersburg will drift politically toward Tampa, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and the corruption ridden Cities on Florida’s gold coast.
With all the money that flowed into this race, Kriseman will be hard-pressed to pay off all those favors in just four years.
St. Pete has enjoyed a good reputation among governments up to now. Vendors and suppliers could trust in a fair bidding process, and fair treatment in the market place.
If your name is not on the Kriseman donors list things will likely get a lot tougher.
Honesty was a main part of the City’s approach to citizens, businesses and the Governments around the State.
It is time to take off the rose-colored glasses and realize that St. Pete has a government pretty much like all the rest, self-serving and not all that honest.
Interesting take, Doc. I would argue that you.could have written the same blogpost had Baker won. He had plenty, actually slightly more than Kriseman, of partisan donations. Additionally, Baker flatly declared he would not recuse himself from discussions/decisions involving Bill Edwards. This was not only an ethical mistake, it was a politically tactical error as well.

On the off chance that you are occupied with seeking after a mold structure degree, it’s imperative to assess whether this is the correct field for you. Do you see a mold structure and consider how to improve it? Will you not prevent yourself from experiencing each magazine and studying the looks? Is it accurate to say that you are always modifying you and your companions’ garments? On the off chance that you replied ‘yes’ to these inquiries, form configuration school is most likely for you!
Since you realize form is your obsession, the following stage is picking a mold school that addresses your issues. You require a school that has best in class gear, that contracts design experts to show its courses, in addition to one that is amazingly associated with the current form industry. Is it true that you are searching for a school that is situated in a city? Or on the other hand would you say you are hoping to take design classes on the web? This criteria will enable you to limit in on the design school that is ideal for you!
Since you are in a manner school that meets the majority of your essentials, you have to do well! This implies picking the right form courses to satisfy your degree and core interest. Read each course prospectus altogether and make your date-book as indicated by when assignments are expected. Take notes amid class and go over them before you go to class once more. Give yourself a lot of time to finish your structure ventures – over seven days. Try not to skip parts of your tasks: draw a work in progress, select hues, make designs, and so forth. Acing right investigation propensities and your imaginative procedure at an early stage will help you in your form future.
Derslere gidiyorsunuz, büyük bir dereceye kadar gayet iyi çalışıyorsunuz ve somunların ve civataların çoğuna sahip oluyorsunuz. Şu anda seni araştırmak zorundasın. Hangi farklı anababalar harika? Hangi öğretmenler beyninizde gerçekten göze çarpıyor? Onlarla takılmak için gönüllü olmalısın. Onlarla ek faaliyetler yapmayı ve eğer mümkün değilse öğretmenlerinizle görüşmeyi teklif edin. Tasarım dünyasında bunu yapmak için en ideal yaklaşım, sizi tanıyan ve sevenler ile olan yolu temizlemek!
Presently you realize how to expert every one of your classes, make the form plans you cherish and you know your companions and teachers. It’s a great opportunity to dive in and put yourself out there: get a mold entry level position! Your design school has associations and assets that you can just use as an understudy – exploit! On the off chance that you continue postponing it until after you graduate, you are passing up on the chances as of now accessible to you.

"This guy's a real duck nut."
The main road to school was still pretty snowed up so I was about thirty minutes late to class this morning. The other student didn't even make it, so I had a chance to catch up to her in terms of progress.
I began sewing the felt around my stretched skin. I insisted on pinning it all which Mr. B found quite amusing, and offered some criticism in regards to time consumption. I'm beginning to get exasperated with this "all commercial all the time" philosophy; I prefer to take as much time as I need with my work so it's perfect. I would not feel comfortable turning in sub-par work just because it's faster.
Here he is, with the felt skirting. I named him Bruce, after Honey West's pet Ocelot.
Bruce has a freak double hang-nail (thumb claw) which my teacher claimed to have never seen before. Pretty neat.
At the end of the day we gave my squirrel another bath and used some degreasing solution to puff his coat up a bit. Major improvements.
After school I went sledding and unlike yesterday, the conditions were ideal for some stellar runs. I came across these coyote tracks on my way up to the hill.
Me, myself, and my board.
I am about a week behind on the news so it wasn't until today that I learned about the emergency small aircraft landing on the NJ turnpike. I was listening to the exchange between the pilot and the air traffic controller and found it charming that they use the term "souls" as in, "How many souls on board"? It seems kind of contradictory that such a high-tech arena would rely on a term so...non-concrete. It's charming.

Bulgari unveiled its elaborate redesign of its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York yesterday. The new Peter Marino-designed store features a door that is a reproduction of the Baroque Via Condotti door from 1930 and is arguably the structural jewel of the new boutique. The exterior of the store was inspired by the design of a heritage bracelet’s clasp from the 1930s and is decorated with bronzed flowers that are handmade in Italy that are complete with lights so the store can dazzle both day and night.
Upstairs, on the mezzanine floor, is a lounging room inspired by Salottino Taylor—the room where Elizabeth Taylor would spend hours perusing jewels as she escaped the paparazzi. The room is inspired by the ’60s with vintage armchairs by Osvaldo Borsani, plush blush sofas, and coffee tables in onyx. The collection cases sit atop marble tables also by Borsani as well as Angelo Mangiarotti.
Bulgari’s creative director Lucia Silvestri, who created the new capsule collection featuring stunning lapis, coral, and diamond creations (red, white, and blue to honor America), said her favorite piece in the collection is an exquisite bracelet of the same material. “It’s almost three-dimensional and it’s very soft and sophisticated and its so New York,” said Silvestri. “This kind of craftsmanship is something only Bulgari can do. I really wanted to do something special, but you know it’s difficult because even in the ‘70s we did such extraordinary pieces. Those pieces are still very modern. So I wanted to do something with the same spirit but very contemporary.” The new collection also features 19th century American coins instead of the brand’s traditional Roman ones.
Bulgari has big expansion plans for the U.S. market. The luxury brand has already opened its first Pennsylvania boutique at the King of Prussia Mall in April, reopened its renovated Michigan Avenue boutique in Chicago in June, and has plans to open a new boutique in Boston by the end of November.

I read that a husband must consent to a “get” in order to end a marriage, which has presented a problem for many women who seek a religious divorce in less than amicable situations. Is this true? If so, does a woman have any recourse if her husband refuses the get?
Marriage in Jewish Law is a contractual agreement that is made by the husband to his wife. In the Ketubah (the actual contract) the husband makes all kinds of commitments to look after and support his wife. When a marriage comes to an end a divorce contract is drawn up called a Get that brings an end to the marriage and allows each person to marry someone else. If no Get is issued the couple are still married to each other according to Jewish Law – this is so regardless of whether the couple divorced in the civil courts – and the repercussions of not having a Get are disastrous.
A woman who wants a divorce and whose husband is not cooperating should let the Bet Din (Jewish Court of Law) take care of the matter. In Israel, for example, the courts can impose fines and even jail terms for a recalcitrant husband.

I have been dating this girl, Sarah, my on again/ off again girlfriend, for quite a few years. We met each other in freshman year in college. Nothing serious, never will be. She's the type of girl that always points out my faults.
Like clockwork, when either of us get's bored, one of us always ends up calling each other.
Doesn't matter who said what, we have both called with the same scenario.
“So, where do you want to go?” Sarah asks.
"I don't know, where ever you want to go, somewhere that serves food preferable." I answered. I'm pretty easy when it comes to these type of things.
She said “You have no problem letting me know about each sports game that is coming on, no problem telling me what shows to watch on TV, but for some reason, when it comes to picking a stupid restaurant, you cant decide, you can never decide on anything”.
Why she gets frustrated is beyond me, you would think she would be happy I am so easy going that I would let her pick the restaurant or any other place she wants to go.
It happens all the time, I could just hand her the script.
“OK, lets go to olive garden?” she says.
“OK, lets go to 'fish-a-hook”. Why she suggest fish-a-hook is beyond me, she knows I hate fish.
"well, WHY DON'T YOU PICK THEN!"
I can hear in her tone, she was getting a little hostile.
"Don't know why you are getting upset, I told you, I don't care, where ever you want to go is fine with me?" Geeee she makes everything so complicated.
This conversation goes on and on.
But like clock work, we always end up at Cracker-Barrell, it's not like we like Cracker Barrell, but she can order her 'whatever it is she likes' and I can order a steak-dinner. You would think, after this much time, she would just suggest it in the first place. Girls, geeeshhhhh. I just can't figure them out.
“huh, what the hell did I say?” I asked as she stormed off.
Girls, why do I bother?
hmmmm, the Patriots are playing against the Vikings this Sunday.
Have to remember to buy some of those nachos that I like.

Further to my recent articles on the front snap kick, I thought I’d go through some of the finer points of how to do it. I hope this will be especially useful to beginners since this is the sort of information I found very useful early in my career.
In fact, I still have these points in the back of my mind every time I practice front kicks. I think it is important to keep trying to attain the unattainable - the perfect front kick, free of any extraneous movement before, during and after the technique.
Why is technique refinement so important to the front snap kick?
to make your front kick as efficient and economical as it can be so as to maximize the force applied to your target.
There is a high premium on both of these.
First, you don’t want to telegraph your technique at the best of times. The issue only gets more urgent when you are standing on one leg - as is the case with a front (or any other) kick. The last thing you want is to have your kick miss, and then have your relative lack of balance exploited. I should know: I once kicked with my right leg and missed, had my leg caught (on the retraction) near my ankle, then suffered the indignity and pain of having my entire leg rotated inward (anti-clockwise). I tried to ride the movement but it was too quick; my body simply couldn’t keep up. Before I knew it my knee had passed the point of no return and was badly twisted. I limped on that leg for the better part of a year. But things could have been much worse.
Then there is the question of force. In my article “Enter the front snap kick” I discuss how the front kick is not particularly forceful as techniques go. I believe that it is for this reason that the front snap kick has often been ignored by combat sports practitioners. On the heavy bag it feels almost insipid. And true, it is not a very powerful technique; it relies on correct timing, placement and distancing to work properly. What this means is that you need to work extra hard at making it efficient, thus squeezing the most force out of the movement. Inefficient technique - where you have extraneous movement - will not only make your technique slower and less effective, but it will also increase the chances of your kick being evaded or deflected. And, as with telegraphing, you might just end up with your relative lack of balance being exploited - in the worst possible way to you!
In order to refine your kick, you need to eliminate any telegraphing and other extraneous movement. I’ve found that the best way of doing this is to kick slowly while using a support. I hold onto the ropes we have on our dojo walls, but you can use practically any other support - a door handle, a chest-high wall, a piece of gym equipment, etc. Just find something you can hold onto tightly.
Next, kick out slowly, trying move only those parts of the body that you need to move - ie. trying to isolate the kick. Once you can do the kick well with the support, start letting go and trying the kick without it.
When trying to refine your kick, practice at a slow, even pace (more on the evenness in a minute). Only once you are able to kick efficiently and economically should you speed up your kick to ¾ speed and eventually full speed. Why? Speed masks errors: I recall my later father and I watching a karate demonstration where a girl kicked a head height mae geri with slow, deliberate precision. I scoffed, saying: “I can kick better than that. Look how slow she is.” My father replied: “Anyone can do it quickly. Can you do it slowly?” The answer, at the time, was “no”. I’ve never forgotten that lesson.
The flip side to slow kicks is that you develop strong core muscles and stability, which is not only good for your technique but it is also excellent for your health and well-being.
You’ll note from the previous pictures that I am taking great care to keep my height even. This is the first, and most obvious, error made by beginners. Bobbing up and down as you kick is a major indicator of the fact that you don’t yet have “full” control of your movement. Not only is this bobbing uneconomical (and therefore inefficient because you are wasting valuable time and energy in an unproductive movement, leaving less to be transmitted into your target) but it is also a fairly obvious telegraph.
Some people rise just before they kick. Others “crunch up” a little. Some do a bit of both (start with a rise, then crunch). A good opponent can and will read that rise/crunch and react to it appropriately, dealing with your kick before it has even properly commenced.
So you don’t want to bob up and down: You don’t want give your opponent any cues at all as to what you’re about to do. And you don’t want to waste precious time and energy in unproductive movement.
Earlier on I referred to the time I had my leg caught during a kick. It wasn’t caught on the outward journey, but rather on my retraction. Many beginners (and some more senior martial artists!) will snap out appropriately, but when it comes to snapping back they only do it about half-way, dropping their foot casually forwards, or using a raking back motion. This is dangerous. It might be hard to catch a kick when it is going out, but it isn’t nearly so hard going back.
If anything snap, your kick back faster than you snapped it out.
I wish I’d followed his advice all those years ago - my knee might not have become as problematic as it has.
Here is another common error, albeit not one that many instructors pick up: Students need to be aware that the speed of their movement is even throughout the technique. There are no points where one should slow down. If you are performing your kick slowly, then the whole kick should be slow. If you’re performing your kick fast, then the whole kick should be fast.
The most common error is in this regard is where the student does a fast snap out, then pauses in the chamber (on one leg) for a brief second before putting his or her leg down. This is a very bad habit to get into. You must get your foot back on the floor as quickly as possible. The last thing you want is to be facing your opponent standing on one leg.
The second most common mistake is a slow movement to chamber before the kick, then a fast kick out, and then another slow movement back down from the chamber (ie. a “slow, fast, slow” sequence). The same issue arises here as with the previous example, except you’re also giving your opponent plenty of warning that you’re about to kick. Thankfully, this mistake is rare. But if you’re doing it, then for heaven’s sake, stop! If you need any proof as to the need for a quick outward kick and quick return to the ground, look at the examples I provide in my article “Enter the front kick”. Note how each of the practitioners kicks "out of nowhere" and then drops his foot back onto the ground immediately. The adjacent images of Justin Bucholz are directly on point.
Last, in your quest for avoiding extraneous movement don’t forget what it is you’re trying to do. You want a powerful kick, not an insipid one. Don’t get so caught up in maintaining even height, snapping back, maintaining even speed etc. that you sacrifice practicality. It’s one thing to kick without extraneous movement - it’s quite another to kick without necessary movement.
One such “necessary movement” is to be found in your hip. Your hip needs to push forwards into your opponent. If it doesn’t you won’t be putting your body into your kick - only your leg.
The front snap kick is one of the simplest - yet hardest - techniques in the traditional martial arts arsenal. What do I mean by this? The front kick is a simple movement, yet it is not one we tend to do in everyday living. We are more inclined to do movements akin to the “soccer/football” kick than a movement approximating the front kick.
Accordingly, it comes as no surprise to me that many eclectic/combat sports martial artists eschew the front snap kick, preferring the more familiar roundhouse kick using the shin. The latter has its place in martial arts, that is true. But the suggestion that it is “faster” and “more effective” are manifestly false. A huge, sweeping roundhouse kick is going to impart more force. But it will be diffuse over a larger surface area. Moreover it will be highly telegraphed and take a relatively long time to execute.
By contrast, the front snap kick is not as “forceful”. But it has the advantage of being a far more direct movement. After all, the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. Your front snap kick should be geared at making that line as straight and unwavering as possible. Your support structure needs to be solid and any extraneous movement before, during and after needs to be eliminated. If you can manage this, I’m confident that you will find (as I have) that it is the “king of the melee”; it can come out of nowhere, find its mark, and return to the ground - all in a tight space not much larger than a telephone box and in a timeframe that is a fraction of any other kick. This is of vital importance to any kick used in a civilian defence environment.
Get it right and it can work wonders. Get it wrong and you might as well go back to the roundhouse kick using the shin.
there is not a single point I can argue against in this post. It kind of makes me sad, though. In the organization with which I am afiliated, we encourage our students to begin teaching relatively early on. However, my experience is the quality of these teachings is not qc'd as much as it should be. My point here is that I can remember being taught almost all of your "don't" do points as "do" points. It has taken years of observation, seeking out and plan old trial-and-error to be where \i am now (and yet so far to go). And STILL I find informtion in your post to help light the path for me.
We obviously had a similar karate "upbringing" Dale! Thanks for your kind words - they are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for elaborating on your previous "back to the basics" snap kick post. Your scientific approach to martial arts is a breath of fresh air from all the "realist" teachers out there.
I have a question. I have almost no background in martial arts (one year of wrestling), and I would like to learn some for general self defense. I am not a very strong man, although I have pretty good control.
After extensive research, it seems that japanese jujutsu is well rounded for self defense, with some techniques for striking, holds, and defense against handheld weapons.
What is your opinion of japanese jujutsu, and what do you think would be a good martial art for me to look into?
My opinion of jujutsu is high. I suggest you go along to various schools until you find one that "feels right". As with any martial art, much depends on the teacher, the other students, the atmosphere, etc. It might feel right in the first place you walk into, or it might take a bit of searching. Good luck!
Thank you, I respect your views a lot, so this will be a great motivation.
I am a nidan, and have recently noticed that when sparring other black belts they pick up on the tiny bit of weight shift I do to my front leg immediately before a front kick.
It's by far my favorite kick, and I've been working on it almost exclusively for over a year in order to increase it's speed and power, but against skilled enough opponents it's still not good enough.
Do you have any recommended exercises for training yourself mentally/physically to shift from a neutral fighting position to a kick without doing a slow (comparatively) weight shift right beforehand? I definitely don't bob up and down, it's just my front knee and top of my leg that they can see tense up.
Use a support and do the kicks slowly, taking care to eliminate any weight shifting or other telegraphing before hand. Do 10 on one leg, swap to the other and repeat twice more before increasing speed and letting go of your support. Do this every session. It is the only way.

A broad set of studies have demonstrated socioeconomic discrepancies in morbidity and mortality to exist at every level of the social hierarchy (e.g. Adler et al., 1994). Recently, evidence is emerging which shows a distinct trend towards higher levels of obesity in lower socioeconomic groups (e.g. Shrewsbury and Wardle, 2008; Zaninotto, Head, Stamatakis, Wardle, and Mindell, 2009). The rapidly rising prevalence of obesity, particularly among the disadvantaged, is a crucial issue for an aging population in Europe where obesity is likely to predispose individuals to persistent health conditions, disability, and considerable healthcare costs (Stanton, Revenson, and Tennen, 2007; Müller-Riemenschneider, Reinhold, Berghöfer, and Willich, 2008). This proposal aims to identify key psychosocial and behavioural factors that may explain socioeconomic differences in obesity levels. It then aims to show that it is possible to introduce theory-driven behavioural interventions to vulnerable groups in order to assist in breaking the socioeconomic status – obesity link.

Have a good look at me. That's how bright your prognosis is for today.
Yup - that is about it. Back to the pits.
Oh, come on, you all. Look at the sunshine coming through this lovely bunny's ears. Look at the soft glow of the beautiful eyes. This Little One definitely a harbunger of good stuff.
You know...forget it, I'm going back to bed.
The joke is on you little rabbit, for my day is brightened by each lovely bun I see! Your willingness to pose has thwarted your disapproval!
Sally, you were gone and much missed for quite a while recently. If you taunt the bunnies, we are really going to be worrying. So, please let know in advance if another Sally hiatus is coming up. Otherwise, gulp, we will all be thinking the bunns are making you pay for your denigrating sallies.

Public policies contribute to the design of a (sustainable) cocoa value chain. Governments present rules in which value chains operate.
Compare Ghana with Ivory Coast, and a completely different way in which the sector is organized appears.
These regulations influence the relations between farmers and industries, set rules for export markets, affect incentive structures in place for quality and volumes of cocoa, etc.
In Indonesia they experienced a boom in cocoa production because of hands-off policy.

A bit of a Tea Fairy….
I have had this thought for awhile, and I finally had the time to execute this shot…enjoy.
As we are in the heart of wedding season I post this picture, which for me symbolizes undying love.
a mini photo essay concerning shellfish love…or my love for shell fish…and for a certain women from the Ponta Delgado in the Azores, Portugal.
This is an on going exploration entitled “One Small Prick” a concept revolving around chance.
The writting on the wall at one time here in Montreal. Is he back???
On the theme of copyright here is a shot I took…Take precautions and protect yourselves and your intellectual property.
Yes, way back when, while living in Vancouver,BC, I used to drop my drawer’s for art! I had the Live Like Water Tea Shop in Chinatown just a few streets down from Basic Inquiry that had Life Modelling. My good friend and great artist David Lane modeled there. He thought I would also make for a good life model. And so one day I found myself modeling for Basic Inquiry. It was a lovely space, they have since moved) and they used to play CBC and at the time it was a program by Danielle Charboneau called Music for Awhile. I always enjoyed her show and her taste in music echo’s still like the pied piper that lead us into her show. Ah memories. Needless to say I enjoyed my experiences at Basic Inquiry and expanded to so many other places in Vancouver. Emily Carr University of Art and Design was one where I had fun. Some of my jobs were to in costume and so naturally being the Cultural Cross Dressed that I am I would come with my Korean Hambok and Monks clothing.
Here is a photo essay I put together. The photo’s were taken with my old Nikon Camera using Tri X Film later scanned. The pictures were taken at Basic Inquiry and Emily Carr University of Design and Art.

On the northeast side of town, there is a house. The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night. No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband. But they don’t know me at all. I don’t even know me. Not anymore. They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three. On the northeast side of town, there is a house. But there is no longer a home.

:) By far the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka! The room was sparkling clean and so spacious, and the view was amazing! A large bathroom (with a bathtub!) was also such a bonus. Nayomi and her family were so welcoming and warm, and also some of the best home cooking I've had on my trip! I can't say enough good things about the Mist, highly recommend staying here.

The 60m/197ft motor yacht KATINA from Brodosplit is lowering her weekly base rate for charters taking place this August and September in Adriatic destinations such as Croatia and Montenegro.
Enviable entertainment areas, one-of-a-kind features and contemporary interior styling make KATINA one of the greatest yachts available for charter in the dazzling blue Adriatic waters, and now charterers can experience all she has to offer while benefiting from a specially reduced rate.
No matter whether exploring the must-see historic towns of Split and Dubrovnik on Croatia’s mainland, island-hopping in the idyllic cruising grounds of Dalmatia or discovering the spectacular scenery along the coastline of Montenegro, the Brodosplit build can take guests there in comfort and style.
Daytime living is sure to centre on the spacious sundeck where guests can unwind in the Jacuzzi, bask in the sunshine on loungers, sip cocktails at the bar or enjoy an alfresco meal in the shade with family and friends, all while taking in gorgeous views of the Mediterranean.
But, when the sun sets, the deck can transform into a nightclub with space to install a live DJ or band and disco lights, making the yacht perfect for hosting glittering event and corporate charters.
Other areas perfect for entertaining include a whisky and ventilated cigar room, and guests can also get together in the sociable seating area in the main salon before sitting down to dine around the formal dining table forward. A bar and grand piano are located here too, adding to the interior's sophisticated allure.
It’s also possible to have hours of fun on the water thanks to the excellent collection of superyacht toys, which includes an inflatable water slide and water park, water skis, kayaks, windsurfers, a Flyboard, a Hoverboard and sea-scooters. Plus, the yacht is an approved RYA watersports centre.
Health and well-being is likewise a priority on board superyacht KATINA. Among the facilities is a fully-equipped gym and, after a hard workout, guests can relax in the sauna or indulge in a massage in the dedicated treatment room.
On a yacht charter, up to 12 guests can sleep in six staterooms, including two master suites of equal size and four double cabins, all with fold-down balconies and the ability to convert into twin cabins. Such a flexible accommodation layout makes the motor yacht ideal for a variety of charter parties.
To take advantage of the special offer on M/Y KATINA, speak to your preferred charter broker.
Alternatively, take a look at all luxury yachts available for charter in Croatia.

This post has been a long time in the making. Forty years actually. To the day.
However, before all of that nonsense sets in I feel obliged to write a post that suitably combines a touch of reflection, a pinch of contemplation and a good dose of optimism. So here goes.
Well let's start with that infamous saying "life begins at forty". For quite a while I've wondered just what that meant and, if it was true, what exactly is the point of the first forty years? Now that I've reached that milestone I think I have a pretty good idea. Just as I did when I turned twenty and thirty, I look back now and see how my life has been fun, exciting, interesting and dramatic. It's had ups and downs and been littered with mistakes that I've attempted to learn from. Those years have got me to where I am today. But looking forward is what it's really about. And now, more than ever, I know what lies ahead. I have become the man I was destined to be.
I'm a wedding photographer. I live in the country I dreamed of moving to. I'm surrounded by the best friends I've ever had. And I have a girlfriend that I am truly in love with. Life at forty is a perfect storm and the forecast is rosy.
However, if you'd asked me ten years ago what I would be doing at forty I wouldn't have predicted this complete life change. I always envisaged that I would change my career by my mid-thirties, and when that moment came and went the anxiety started to creep in. I nervously pondered whether I was really going to spend the rest of my working life in media, in London. What I should have done is acknowledge that I tend to do things later in life than most people. I passed my driving test at 17 but didn't actually have a car to drive until I was 23. I didn't move out of home until I was 27. I still can't swim (so Uge from Aquabumps can breathe a sigh of relief) but I do hold out hope to one day grow stubble.
I also used to hear about celebrities who are my age and wonder what exactly I had been doing with my time while they were busy becoming successful. Want some examples? Jude Law, Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Idris Elba (yeah, I could have been Luther!), Chris Rock, The Rock, Eminem, Shaq, and the man who famously copied my hair style, Kelly Slater.
Yeah they may have Oscars, Grammys and world titles but do any of them know how to expose for ambient light, huh? Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'!
The title of this post was going to be Genesis but that would be predictable and somewhat inappropriate given that I don't believe in God. I do however believe in fate. And I believe the intricate chain of events that got me to where I am today were all meant to be. I was destined to be a wedding photographer.
But today there is no wedding to shoot. I turned down at least five enquiries for 31st March because this weekend is about celebrating my 40th and my good friend Jimbob's 30th, up at Blueys Beach with good food, good wine, good friends and good times.
Now go do something useful you pesky kids!

Don’t let others define your worth.
Dare to be more ambitious.
Admittedly, I’m biased, but I believe we women are powerful beyond measure. We excel at multitasking. We are innately compassionate. We are natural bridge builders, peacemakers, and cheerleaders. We have nurturing hearts and can move mountains when we set our minds to it.
Yet too often, we sell ourselves short. Way short.
The voice of our inner critic rarely rests. It thrives on pointing out our flaws, focusing on our shortcomings, and dwelling on what we don’t have or haven’t done. It keeps forever striving, never arriving—waiting until “one day” when we finally have it “all together” before we can feel worthy or claim what we yearn for most.
Yet as Kirsten Neff wrote in her book Self-Compassion, “There is nothing to be gained for beating ourselves up for beating ourselves up.” Rather, what serves us is taking a fresh look at where we are unconsciously allowing this well-worn habit of dwelling on what we perceive is missing in us and around us to keep us from taking the very actions that would connect us to our innate sufficiency, and from truly knowing that we are enough already. Always have been; always will be.
No one is born with an immunity to self-doubt or fear of failure. Each of us has the ability to reclaim the power it can hold in our lives.
You do that by refusing to let the voice of your inner critic dictate your decisions or limit your action. After all, when you buy into your doubts, it amplifies your anxiety about your current challenges and chips away at your confidence to take on new ones. In the process, you miss out on sharpening your talents, and the world misses out on the gifts they hold.
So how do you conquer the doubts and find the courage to live the biggest life you are capable of living?
You stop talking yourself down and start embracing the “flawsome” woman that you already are—fabulous and fallible, brilliant and blundering, innately lovable and wholly imperfect—all at the same time.
You stop letting self-doubt call the shots and start acting with the confidence you wish you had.
You stop punishing yourself for past mistakes and start applying their lessons to live more deeply and choose more wisely.
You stop thinking about what you’d like to say and start having the brave conversations you’ve been putting off.
You stop saying yes to keep people happy and you start saying no to anything that doesn’t align with the boldest vision for your life.
You stop waiting for permission or perfection and start putting yourself out there, ready to fail forward and forge a bigger life rich in meaning, connection and contribution.
Because here’s the deal: The only way you can become the woman you most want to is by start acting like you are that woman already.
Strong. Brave. Resilient. Persistent. Worthy. Bold. Creative. Focused. Trustworthy. Compassionate. Respected. Valued. Influential. Unstoppable.
Now before you start second-guessing yourself (that path has a well-worn groove in your brain!), don’t think you need to know precisely what you are doing or exactly where you are going before you take the first step.
What inspiring goals would you take on (however audacious)?
What changes would you make (however hard)?
What chances would you take (however scary)?
Just for today, I challenge you to trust that you have all the resources you need within you to do whatever tugs most at your heart and to take one step (though two is also OK) in that direction.
Because you know what… you have!
And you know what else? This world needs more women to own their power, embrace their difference and to dare to make their boldest mark on the world like never before.
Your eyes hold the world within!
Thank you for reading. Love you for that.
I’m happy you loved the post and could connect so well.
What an amazing, loving place this world would be if women could accept and love themselves where they are right now imperfections and all. Women who don’t apologize for themselves would be formidable. =) I myself am a work in progress. Thank you for sharing.
You are so true to your words, it’s an extreme necessity of the day.
You made my day. You gave this writing a life by saying this, I’m thankful to you for loving my post and connecting with it so well that for it, you could gratify a living notion.
Very inspirational post. Love the drawings, too. I do tend to beat myself for failing, then beat myself for beating myself. How true!!
I do it, too. It sure is a work in progress and for it, we much never lose hope. Hold on to our courage and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
This post touched on a topic I’ve thought about often. While I think sharing advice to my younger self would save a lot of heartaches, I don’t think I’d be the same person I am today without going through those tough times.
They made me realize what I can handle and now I’m stronger for it! I’ve also come to terms with my imperfections and embraced them as part of who I am.
I hope all women reach the point of empowerment that you describe in their journies ahead, thank you for spreading this message and encouraging us to take a step in the right direction!
You’re right, experiences make us what we are today. It is important to realize the good in the bad, sunshine in the storm and smiles in all that is wrong.
Our strength and courage resides within and a look deep inside will make us realize our worth is much more than pointed upon.
“Flawsome” – LOVE that and the positive vibes!
I’m touched by the fact you could connect. I was thinking about it the other day and it just went with the flow – I have dealt with my flaws and that’s why I can be an awesome person today – hence came up with the word. I guess it stands true for everyone.
Infact acceptance of flaws and imperfections makes you the unique, one of kind person and when you’re comfortable with it, that’s when people start to admire and respect you. It’s just what I think.
Love this! I would say. You are simply amazing. Do not let anything dull that sparkle. All things pass.
Beautiful written piece. All women should read this. Thanks for sharing.
Perspective matters. It’s really important to change thoughts and opinions toward these critical issues. I will hope you understand.
I love it! I ABSOLUTELY love it. For ONCE someone has hit the nail on the head. You are so insightful. I wish you lived near me. I haven’t read your About Me yet, so maybe you do.
But this is absolutely awesome. May I print it out and somehow frame it for all women like me to see?
Thank you. thank you, thank you!
Reading your comment made my day. I’m blessed and thankful. Much love and light to you.
Wish you the best in your journey! Never stop believing and I hope you always have the courage in tough times.
Debby, your comment made me so happy I was in tears.
Sorry I didn’t reply earlier, yes you can absolutely go ahead and take a print. Thanks!
It is very inspiring and motivational write up. I personally feel women are far superior than we men. They deserve more than what they have or get!
Beautiful! I think this practice is right on! It resonates with everything that divine wisdom within me tells me (when I remember to listen).
I’m glad you loved it, thanks so much ❤ ✨ Keep smiling!
Love your writing. These words are very good to remember.
Beautifully said. I wish your message was in the handbook for all young girls, but still beneficial for all us, no matter where we are on our life path. Thank you for sharing!
What an uplifting and positive message! Well done!
Wow! What an awesome post.
I love, love, love, love your sketches and the beautiful writing that goes with it! Thank You! May God bless you to keep sharing more light, move love and blessedness – for all of us women, our country and our sweet Mother Earth.
Such beautiful words! Thank you for your thoughts!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful words! You have a gift with words. And thank you for liking my post too.
what a nice and powerful massage❤️ many women should see this to know how much they are power.

Immerse yourself in the terror and fear of that horrible “C” word that was just thrown at you. If you’re not there yet, just let the doctors tell you about the treatments and statistics and you’ll be there in an instant. Trust me.
Cry from all the pain, sorrow, and yes – more fear, until you’re pretty sure that no store will be able to keep up with your demand for tissues.
Be furious over this injustice – after all, you don’t deserve this, you’re a good person, and you try to live as healthily as possible.
Laugh at yourself for not being a little more careful with your prayers. After all, you did beg the Gods for something – anything to change because you’re so miserable in your life.
Search for some great tools or techniques that will teach you how to change your view on all these unwanted feelings.
These are some of the basic steps I took which ultimately led me to truly enjoying this wild and crazy ride called cancer. But it is only through the use of the tools from the Busting Loose teachings of Robert Scheinfeld, that I have been able to get to this place of enjoyment. The tools helped me to transform incredible pain and fear – feelings that I once avoided like the plague, into welcomed opportunities in which to expand and grow from. It has completely changed this cancer game for me.
I also learned through Scheinfeld, that feelings such as fear, sorrow, and anger, are actually just true joy in disguise – just as the different shades of red on a color wheel are still classified as “red”.
If you really think about it, part of the joy of watching a movie is the range of emotions it takes you through. I have seen the movie Avatar, four times so far. Each time I saw it, my heart would still beat from fear and my adrenaline still pumped with excitement. I could still work up a fury over the bad guys, and manage to cry during the sad and moving scenes. It is because the movie elicited such a range of emotions within me, that I kept returning to it for a second, third, and fourth time.
The day I no longer find myself fully immersed in the story, feeling everything – including the discomforts, is the day I will stop watching it. It is this full immersion into any story that is what’s joyful.
Before my cancer experience, my goal was to seek perfection and happiness at all times. I tried to control everything to ensure that I would have very little exposure to any unwanted feelings. I was terrified of them. I preferred to stay in that neutral (otherwise known as numb) zone as often as possible. This only brought misery because life was very stale and gray as I shied away from all colors in my pursuit of perfection.
Cancer taught me to cry! To fear! To be angry! To feel! It pushed me down a path of seeking that unexpectedly led me to this place of joyousness. Joy now does not only consist of happiness and peace, but is made up of the ugly and difficult, the sad and lonely, and the terrifying and horrific too. It is this full spectrum of welcomed feelings that makes life joyful because it is now filled with vibrant colors. So now I paint the walls of my life with many shades of colors, grateful that I can finally see all of its beauty.

John Stewart Rutherford passed away in September 2009 at the age of 70 years in the aftermath of a stroke from which he had suffered in May. Remembering John for his achievements in teaching and research falls short of characterizing the entirety of his contributions to the scientific community which is equally inde bted to him for the energy and effort he spent in helping institutions of higher learning in emerging countries to uplift their teaching and research programs.
After graduation from Glasgow University in 1959 and an interlude at an ordnance establishment in Scotland John joined the group of the late Crispin Calvo at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, where in 1967 he received his PhD with a thesis on the crystal structure of selenourea. John then went on to the Department of Crystallography at the University of Pittsburgh to study the structure of anti-cancer drugs. Back in Great Britain he investigated the crystal structure of phosphorous-nitrogen ring compounds at the University of Essex, after which he returned to McMaster for low-temperature diffraction studies. This was followed by a two years' engagement at the Northern Electric Company in Bramalea, Ontario, after which John joined the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, where he investigated the crystal structures of disulfonates. Back in his beloved Scotland John applied his teaching skills at a high school in Linwood until 1979. This year marks a break in John's career, because from now on we see him in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula until the end of his active engagement in 2003. The first station is the University of Swaziland (1980-1982), followed by the University of the Transkei (1983-1984), the Sultan Qabos University in Oman (1995-1996), and finally the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (1998-2003), where he stayed until retirement. All these institutions are indebted to John for his assistance in their quest towards academic excellence. John created or revised curricula, taught chemistry courses, participated actively in the administration, acting as head of the Department of Chemistry and assuming other functions which are too numerous to be listed here.
After retirement in 2003 he moved back to his native Scotland, where the newly gained freedom from administrative duties enabled him to resume and further develop his reseach on theoretical crystallography, from 2005-2008 as member of the IUCr Commission on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography which he had joined since its foundation as an informal international work group in 2002. He continued his investigations on the application of number theory - one of the most fundamental areas of mathematics - to problems involving crystal lattices. The cover of Acta Crystallographica A62 (2), a special issue on mathematical and theoretical crystallography, is taken from his article Some algebraic properties of crystallographic sublattices. In later years he became increasingly interested in the applications of graph theory to problems of crystal chemistry. Here John made substantial contributions to a monograph on Graph Theory in Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry. His passing prevented him from finishing this important task, which will nevertheless be brought to completion and will represent a most fitting homage to his memory.
John is survived by his wife Sasha and two daughters by a previous marriage.

Google has acknowledged the existence of a bug in the Google Nexus S that automatically reboots the handset, usually while the user is on a call.
A Google representative commented on the help forum thread, saying, "We've successfully reproduced this issue and are in the process of investigating with Samsung."
The Samsung-made Google Nexus S is the first handset to run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but it's not yet clear whether the problem lies with the handset's hardware or software.
The help thread indicates that most users encounter the issue on longer phone calls; calls shorter than two minutes seem not to be affected.
Just last week Google announced that it had solved the issue of Android text messages being sent to the wrong person.
The text messaging bug took Google six months to replicate; given that Google has already managed to reproduce the issue, a quicker fix should be on the way to ease Google Nexus S users' pain.

Unless you have budgeted extremely sensibly this summer or perhaps have very generous parents, one of the first things you will need to do this academic year is look for a part time student job. In today’s political and economic climate this is simply something we will all have to do, even those of us who enjoy the finer things in life.
The Almero Student Mansions team have come up with this handy guide on helping to find the best part time student jobs you will be able to find as you embark on your first year of university.
This is just one of a number of features we have published here at the Almero blog this summer, designed to help you negotiate your first days away from home; to see the rest just peruse the rest of our site.
Where Can One Find The Best Student Jobs?
Although you probably won’t want to hear this, perhaps the best way to find student jobs in your new surroundings, is by doing it the traditional way and exploring. There is a lot to be said for putting together an excellent CV and taking it around your respective town or city.
This may seem like a somewhat arduous task, but once fresher’s week is over and your lectures and seminars have started; the time will most probably have come for you get your rent paid for your first semester and when you start budgeting.
The best way for you to give this a welcome boost is for you to ensure you have some regular income in the form of one of the many part time student jobs that will exist in and around your place of study. Once you have decided what you want to do, then circulating your CV the traditional way can be extremely effective.
Should I Go for Weekend Jobs?
It may well be the case, that you have experience of working in a few sectors offering summer jobs for students or weekend jobs. If this is the case then you may be lucky enough to know what kind of job you want when you are away at university.
Whether this is a part time student job on the weekends when you aren’t studying, summer jobs for students where you can save money and then relax during term time or weekend jobs; being as versatile as possible will increase your chances of finding a placement that suits your desires and skills.
Ultimately, the decision to take a weekend job in order to facilitate your studies will really depend on your course and your preferred job. Bar work will not lend itself to well to mid-week work especially during the winter months and should you decide that retail is the sector for you, then you may need to be prepared to work some shifts during the week. So, ensure you choose a vocation that suits your schedule and bear in mind that your workload at university will most likely become quite intense during your second and third years.
Where Else Can One Find Part Time Jobs at University?
If the old-fashioned approach just isn’t working for you and you just can’t find any part time work at university, then the obvious plan of attack is to take to the internet. Although recruiter sites are often viewed as a treasure trove of opportunity, it can be hard sifting through these to find opportunities that are right for students and their erratic timetables.
As we have already mentioned, the paramount aspect of any job search is always having a CV that really shows off your potential and is eloquently written and how you present yourself should you succeed in getting an interview.
No matter what interview you secure, whether this is on the tills at a retailer or behind the bar at the local pub or bar, you should arrive on time and look as smart and as enthusiastic as possible.
Complement this with a charming manner and the aforementioned CV and you should have no problem at all when it comes to getting a part0time job at university and giving your bank balance the welcome boost it needs.

Any trip into the City must include breakfast, not at Tiffany’s, but at Sears Fine Food. It has been around since 1938, when it was founded by not Sear, Roebuck but Hilbur and Ben Sears, a former circus clown. It certainly would have been a colorfully named diner if his name had been Bozo, or Clarabelle!
They were famous for their 18 Swedish pancakes. Of course, I never heard of Swedish pancakes, though I grew up in a Swedish village with roughly 3000 Swedes. I first set foot in the precursor to this City institution in 1961, as a lowly Freshman in high school.
I returned every year, with old high school mates, like John, Mario, and Bob O. I often went with my Dad when we came up to the City for Giants’ games or family vacations. It is located just off of Union Square, on the Cable Car line, and across from the old Sir Francis Drake Hotel on Powell Street.
But I digress, so back to Sears. It was purchased by Mrs. Quita Brenner in the 1950s. She kept the name, for obvious reasons. A place owned by two ladies named Hilbur and a Quita must have a colorful past. Many famous people have dined here over the years. How about George Burns? Yes.
Along came an Armenian (just kidding, some of my best friends are Armenian), son-in-law, Al Boyajian, who convinced his in-laws to purchase the building at 439 Powell. Al, and his son Lee, who I met on several occasions, ran the place or should I say, ran the place into the proverbial ground.
They closed on Christmas Day, 2003, a very sad day for me and old San Franciscans from everywhere. But good fortune reigned, or did it rain soon thereafter. The Lori’s Diner owners stepped up to the plate, probably the one holding the 18 Swedish pancakes! So, after restoring the place to today’s building codes, paying off fines incurred by the Boyajians, Sears re-opened in August of 2004.
Is it the same? They still have the large counter, where old San Francisco ladies come for coffee and breakfast before a big day of shopping. They still have a hat rack in honor of the old City tradition. The waitresses and waiters are still “old” school! But, sadly but most importantly, it is mostly tourists that keep the place going.
The menu bears little likeness to the old paper menu. The 18 Swedish pancakes, while much more expensive, and not as tasty, still headline the menu. Now, they have added all sorts of healthy options, like egg white omelets, granola and yogurt, and fruit plates.
Despite all of this, I would still recommend that you step into old San Francisco on your next visit. They now have a slot machine at the exit. Your bill comes with a token that can be played for a “free” food item. We must really thank Lori’s for taking the chance, to keep this place alive, for people like you and me.

Today this is the best song in the world. Once, I saw Gomez in the pouring rain of a Sasquatch concert. I was crammed between a bunch of extremely tall people (they must’ve been seven feet because I’m easily 6’10) and I couldn’t really see anything. Then I sort of aggressively nudged them and I saw Gomez. Their guitars wagged across their chests from their next straps and they raised their hands in the rock out symbol. Then they yelled in really loud British accents WE. ARE. GOMEZ!!! That was pretty much the best thing in the world.
I love how this song opens. Isn’t it awesome? You’re like, have I arrived in some sort of musical toy factory? Why yes I have! it has been created by this awesome song! Then you’re like, these British guys are pretty cool. That’s right! They are! Good job, observer.

SPCR • View topic - Quiet PC Case that is 420mm or less in depth?
Quiet PC Case that is 420mm or less in depth?
Post subject: Quiet PC Case that is 420mm or less in depth?
I wonder if I can ask for some assistance off you.
I have a micro ATX Asus FM275-DGS in a rubbish case at present. The case is placed in a cupboard part of the desk.
Problem I have is that I only have a depth for a case up to 420mm though the width can be up to 250mm AND HEIGHT ABOUT 530mm.
Are there any good quiet PC case that are less than 420mm deep?
Post subject: Re: Quiet PC Case that is 420mm or less in depth?
I'm not familiar with that motherboard - can you point to a link for it?
What other components are in this PC that you want to shove into a cupboard?
Is there breathing room for a PC in this space or is it enclosed?
I probably could have described the scenario a little better.
The cupboard has a door on it with a 30mm gap to the top and at the back it is fully open so nothing stopping airflow there. I wilol probably have the door open most of the time but when the pc is off I will shut it. I didn't really think about this build as it was my first and needed something quick. (had it about 10-12 months now) and I didn't have this desk then either.
I have 2 x 22" monitors as I use it mainly for trading and it seems to heat the cpu up so am after a case and a cooler.
I suppose ideally at some point I will upgrade the motherboard so a decent case now that I could use for the future would be good.
Thanks for the additional info. Your heat load isn't that bad. The list above is a good start for cases. As you've got a 100W TDP CPU, it'd be worth getting a decent tower cooler. The problem is your RAM has CRAZY high (and useless) heatspreaders. So, you'd either need to remove the heatspreaders, or get a cooler that doesn't conflict with the RAM...and the better coolers are too high for some of these cases. Something like the Thermalright TRUE Spirit 120M (product page) would work with most if not all of the cases and this RAM.
Yeah I didn't think the height of the heat spreaders would be such an issue when I got it lol It is the cpu fan that makes most noise so your recommendation is really helpful.
I have looked at the Fractals but think the measurements above are the height ones not the depth. Not sure about the others just checking them out now.
Seems the silverstone tj08-e might be a good choice if quiet is what I'm after?? Just been reading the review here.
I suppose a decent case and heatsink will be a good place to start in making this system quiet I forgot to add that the pc is left on 24 hours a day 5 days a week. Don't suppose that would matter though would it?
I forgot to add that the pc is left on 24 hours a day 5 days a week. Don't suppose that would matter though would it?
nope. Other than using electricity and heating up the room.
The Silverstone is fine. The Fractal Define Mini is also good.
Silverstone it is. The Fractal Define Mini is still 490mm deep.
Yeah, my bad, I stand corrected.
About Silverstone, even the FT-03 and SG-09/10 are well under the 420mm mark.
The CPU isn't ideal as it consumes a lot of power, something like an Intel Pentium G3220 might've been a better choice. Maybe it still is.
There's a little vibration rattle somewhere that I will need to find but other than that much quieter than the last case and cooler.
Quite impressed with the case to be fair. Just need to figure out how to get the fan speeds down a little now as I don't think I need them running at 850 rpm when idle.

My wife, Maria Teicher, and I founded and run a 501(c)(3) arts non-profit based in Philadelphia. Among our objectives is one to support emerging and mid-career artists living or exhibiting in the Philadelphia area. As such, our online presence is focused on promoting artists’ work as well as sharing tips and tricks; and at times giving some much needed motivation and encouragement.
After seeing that she posted this I went to our bookshelf to leaf through a specific book: Like Shaking Hands With God – A Conversation About Writing, by Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer. The book, published by Seven Stories, is a series of interviews between Vonnegut, a veteran writer of several novels at the time of the interviews, and Stringer, a new novelist who had recently published his first book. Like Shaking Hands With God is a book in which Vonnegut gives honest and razor-sharp insight to Stringer about creativity, life, and humanity. This book was a great one for me, as Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite writers, and I myself am a member of the creative community (musician, writer, etc).
All of John Bogle’s books are tied to the financial world. While I am not a financial-book aficionado, this introduction was such a beautiful welcoming to what would become my favorite book by him.
John Bogle is the founder and former CEO of The Vanguard Group, the company I have worked for since 2006. Though no longer CEO, he still is the head of the Bogle Financial Market Research Center within Vanguard. He still publishes books, interviews regularly, and continues to make an intimidatingly large impact on the financial arena.
Among the perks of Mr. Bogle continuing to be on Vanguard’s site is occasionally spotting him walking around campus or in the cafeteria, being able to receive copies of his book and to have him autograph it, and to be able to have conversations with him.
On November 24, 2008 I received my copy of Enough. I was able to briefly meet Mr. Bogle to obtain his signature on my copy. In doing so, we struck up an extremely short conversation, in which he asked me what I do outside of work. I said that I was a musician and had recently returned from a tour. I had stated it in a way that I recall feeling somewhat ashamed – akin to the way a teenager might feel if they said to their parents that they “want to be a musician” when they grow up. His response caught me off guard, and stuck with me over these years. He said that being a musician is something I should be very proud of, and that I was contributing to society through culture, and how that was extremely important.
Our interaction likely only lasted 30-40 seconds, but it stuck with me. For the hours afterward, I wasn’t the business professional who played music on the side – I was a musician who played an important role in culture.
Encouragement goes a long way, whether it’s an empowering quote or meme, or quick conversation in passing. Granted, I understand that I will not be the biggest musician of all time, but the act of creating is immensely rewarding itself; and in a world where creatives are continuously told to ‘grow up and get a job’, hearing Mr. Bogle’s feedback had the same positive and uplifting response as the Kurt Vonnegut quote Maria posted on our page.

Meet the Adorable Smile Contest Winners!
Congrats to Bryant, who won a $100 gift certificate to Tomatina. Mom Annie says 17-month-old Bryant has the most contagious smile in the family. Anything silly makes him smile — so much so that he even loves to laugh at his own laugh! Bryant enjoys people-watching. On a recent trip to Disney World, he was content seeing all the sights from his stroller. “We are blessed to have this little guy in our lives,” Annie says of her son. And we can see why!
Also smiling are our 2nd and 3rd place winners, 5-year-old Ava Joy Zuber and 14-month-old Claire Abbey Pry. Here’s a little more info about these happy winners.
Our 2nd place winner, Ava Joy Zuber, hopes her smile will make someone else smile, too. That’s one reason why she’s such a ham in front of the camera. Everyone who knows her, including her big brother Austin, agrees Ava’s laughter is simply contagious.
Ava recently celebrated her 5th birthday with a trip to Disneyland. You can bet she was all smiles! According to mommy, Ava prides herself on “being a helper” and loves to help mommy cook. Fettuccine Alfredo, or “white sauce,” as she calls it, as well as raw carrots and fruit smoothies frozen into popsicles, are Ava’s fave foods. Now that she’s won a photo prize ($50 to spend at Tomatina), her next goal is to learn hula. Go Ava!
Our 3rd place winner, Claire Abbey Pry, smiles most when her older brother chases her around, when she is on the swing, or when her daddy bops his head up and down for her. Claire’s proud mommy describes her daughter’s smile as “pure and sweet,” and we certainly agree!
Claire is named after a beautiful abbey in County Clare, Ireland, found next to the cathedral where her parents were married. The outfit she is wearing in the winning shot was purchased in the international section of a store that sells lost luggage. Claire loves strawberries, cheese, playing at Washington Park, going on bike rides with her iBert, and dancing. We hope she will enjoy her prize, a $25 gift certificate to Tomatina. Three cheers for Claire!

One of the greatest miracles of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ happened long before Joseph Smith received his vision of the Father and the Son in the Sacred Grove.
Joseph Smith’s third great-grandfather settled in Topsfield, Massachusetts in the year 1638. Five generations of the Smith family would live in Topsfield until Asael Smith, Joseph Smith Jr’s grandfather, moved his wife and children to Tunbridge, VT in search of inexpensive land. A man by the name of Stephen Mack lived in Tunbridge and became friends with Joseph Smith, Sr. Stephen’s younger sister, Lucy, came to visit one summer and it didn’t take long for Joseph Sr. and Lucy to fall in love and marry. Unable to farm the tough soil, they entered into a venture selling ginseng to China. The Smith’s business partner was a crook and left them with nothing but a $1,800 debt. The Smith’s moved to Sharon, VT and rented a piece of land to farm. It was in Sharon that their son Joseph Smith, Jr. was born. In hopes of securing their own farm, the Smith’s moved to Lebanon, New Hampshire. The typhoid fever swept through the community which almost took Joseph’s sister Sophronia’s life, and caused an infection in Joseph’s leg. The land was not good enough to farm, so the Smith’s moved back to Vermont. The next three years produced nothing but failed crops. In the year 1816, a volcano half a world away in Indonesia, released so much ash into the atmosphere that the weather patterns in New England were altered and the crops froze several times during that summer. Just then, word was spreading about inexpensive land out west. The Smith’s decided to attempt another farm. The road to the West went right through a little town called Palmyra, New York. The Smith’s settled down in Palmyra.
In the year 421, the Lord directed Moroni to bury the plates in a hill called Cumorah. 1,395 years later, the Smith family would settle within one and a half miles of Cumorah.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. When we look into our past, it is easy to see how our loving Heavenly Father was with us during our trials, guiding us toward greater gifts and blessing then we ever dreamed of praying for. Most of the time, it is nearly impossible to see the hand of the Lord through our daily struggles and heartaches. Yet the Savior has promised, “knock and it shall be opened”, “seek and ye shall find”, “ask and it shall be given unto you”. It is through our trials that we must trust in these sacred promises, hoping that one day soon the blessing of hindsight will be ours and we will be able to then see how the Lord guided us toward great happiness and joy.
The Smiths were good people that loved the Lord and taught their children to do the same. They moved forward through continued disappointment with nothing but trust in the Lord and hope for a better tomorrow. If just one of the many trials they faced had turned out the way they hoped and prayed for, they never would have made it to Palmyra. They never would have been within walking distance of the hill Cumorah where Joseph Smith, the prophet of the Restoration, was given the plates to translate into the Book of Mormon.

Y U No put reddit-style voting system?
Frankly, I just can't get enough of these funny/insightful comments... I'm looking forward to Sunday just to get to this roundup. Wouldn't it be awesome if TD had a reddit-style commenting system?
Discussion threads would still be preserved and good comments wouldn't get buried, which so often happens particularly when there are too many comments to go through.
I don't know if the patent was new or not; I'm actually curious to see the prior art. But my intuition as someone "skilled in the trade" is that the concept is definitely NOT obvious.
Do you remember how things worked pre-iPhone? It would actually be hard to imagine because there was no such thing as natural-direction, touch&grab scrolling (or maybe there was) but the rubberband effect is, in my opinion, a nifty little user interface innovation that greatly improves usability.
If it were so obvious, how come we never saw it anywhere else, for example in desktop web browsers?
Robot and Frank. A must-see movie.
Set up a sting operation and follow the money.
On that line of thought, I actually do want the FTC to rule against Apple, only to bring attention to the patent system.
A) Has EFF patented this?
B) If not, would a troll be daring to take on EFF?
Although it's not my cup of tea either (nor many others'), you can look at it as one more "against all odds" factor. In fact, I don't think it even satisfies Pirate Mike Masnick's "be awesome" criteria (not for most)... And yet, Alex is still doing great.
Re: Re: That's a tougher sell.
on Will The Failures Of SOPA & ACTA Highlight The End Of The MPAA & RIAA's Disproportionate Influence On Policy?
"Will the failures of SOPA & ACTA [...]"
No... At least according to Betteridge's Law of Headlines which states "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no'".
Do it Mike, do it. You heard the guy. Everyone else: vote the above post as insightful or something. Even though it's less-than-well written, the underlying point is super valid.
It'd be so easy to create a filter that replaces a double dash (--) with an emdash (�). Y u no do it, Techdirt?!
Are you referring to reverse discrimination?
I just don't get it. Isn't there someone in this country to be like... Hold on a second... WTF is going on here?
How do we better reward insight and thoughtful commentary over the quick hit-scoop?
This would be as big an endeavor as trying to reduce healthcare costs by shifting the incentive structure: rewarding providers based on the results they achieve, not on how many tests/procedures they do.
Mike and/or one of these initiatives should team up with JACK ABRAMOFF and see if there's any hope to at least start changing things. I, for one, do buy Abramoff's newfound righteousness and his experience could prove invaluable in an effort like this.
Abramoff is a rare opportunity now - unique, in fact - and not taking advantage of it would be a shame.

In 1998, an epidemic of enterovirus 71 (EV 71) infection occurred in Taiwan. The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiology of EV 71 infection in Taiwan. Between March 1998 and December 2005, a total of 1,548 severe cases of hand-foot-mouth disease and herpangina (HFMD/HA) was reported to the Center for Disease Control in Taiwan. A seasonal variation in number of severe cases was observed, with the annual peak in second quarter. Deaths from severe HFMD/HA varied from year to year (χ2 for trend = 6.781, P = 0.009). Most (92%) cases occurred in children ≤ 4 years of age. Children infected with EV 71 had higher risk of pulmonary edema/hemorrhage and encephalitis than those not infected. Infection with EV 71 has emerged as an important infectious disease causing serious clinical illness and deaths of young children. Vaccine development is recommended to prevent future EV 71 infections.

I have been searching, emailing, texting and calling breeders for months now with no luck.
The only responders with pups are the BYB folks… two in Houston area alone!
Our ideal situation is a brother-sister pair but two separate families is okay. No breeding or conformation showing, but possible agility-type showing in the future. Hubby wants a brindle male and I want a red female.
All of my pups are from Linda Ehlers of Jerlin basenjis, but i don't know if she bred anything this year. She's in MO, not too far from Kansas City.
Otherwise, have you tried the BCOA webpage?
Maybe Tad or Dyann can give you a recommendation for someone else. Many breeders will travel to the Indianapolis show in a couple weeks and Louisville next month, so you could probably get a puppy transferred there from an Ohio breeder. Try Kyle Cabrell or Sue Kite as they would be at both those shows. Unfortunately a lot of people I know bred , but it did not take this yr. I will have two Meisterhaua litters next yr if you want to wait. I'm sure Tad would get you on the waiting list for next yr. I would love to have some of my pups do agility.
I think we end up having to wait until next year, but start getting our name on lists now.
My husband has his heart set on a brindle male and I know they are harder to come by.
Sue Kite has a pet black puppy, I think still available (Klassic Basenjis). I will also just put this out there, littermates do not always make the best placements… not always a fact, but pretty much a rule of thumb. Keep in mind that littermates have been competing with each other since before birth.... so there is usually always some aggression there. So you really have to make sure of the temperaments before hand.
Robyn Dubbert (Sherwood basenjis) in Atlanta has 2 litters, not sure if all are spoken for. I think they are 6 or 7 weeks old now. A little further to drive thatn you want, though.
Thanks Mac. I messaged Sherwood a few days ago but haven't heard anything back yet. Keeping hopes up.
Have you checked breeders on the BCOA-Basenji Club of America website?

SOLD!Wonderful trio of 1930’s Polo match Wall plaques. The work is created by carving into thin masonite panels the reveal the lighter colored backgrounds. These background areas are intricately carved to illustrate mountains and plant life. The raised horses and riders are subtly shaded with a wash paint for definition.The effect is amazing, and the quality of the carvings is exceptional. The three works are framed in stained pine frames. They display beautifully and would be perfect for any interior setting. Two are 47 inches wide, while the smaller one is 37 inches wide.

Is Christianity being censored online?
Home Internet Is Christianity being censored online?
A pastor says, “Facebook is blocking almost everyone from seeing John 3:16, ‘The Old Rugged Cross,’ the resurrection of Jesus Christ and my other posts.” Pastor Steven Andrew has a sizeable audience, with 467,000 people liking his page. Yet, Facebook showed these posts to only hundreds of people each.
“These posts are filled with God’s forgiveness and truth, which is the greatest message of love,” he said.
Andrew is called the “Facebook pastor” and spent thousands of dollars with Facebook advertising to build up the followers. Before the censoring, he reached 5 to 8 million people per month, with an average post going to 30,000 to 60,000 people. Some posts reached a million people. However, after Facebook said they were cracking down on fake news in 2016, they shadowbanned Andrew, blocking about 5 million people per month.
“Christianity is not fake news,” he said.
Andrew contacted Facebook about the censoring earlier, but they did nothing. He also requested Facebook remove the fake accounts impersonating him that scam his followers for money, but Facebook refused. There are over 70 impersonating accounts.
Because of this Andrew is building a new social network called USA.Life so people can share freely about life, liberty and happiness. “There is no censoring of Christianity and our American rights at USA.Life,” he said. Andrew is a Silicon Valley internet leader, who has run multi-million dollar Fortune 500 initiatives.
“People are signing up as soon as they hear about www.USA.Life,” he said.
Andrew set up a crowdfunding page to fund the new project, which is expected to launch this fall.
“Freedom and privacy could be lost forever without USA.Life. However, we can save the Internet if 62,000 people give $10, or if 6,200 people give $100. If Christians want to share freely, it is at USA.Life,” Andrew said.

U.S. history classes devote less than 10 percent of class time to Black history, according to national research.
Homeschooling is an increasingly popular way for Americans to teach their kids and other students about Black history — and it is becoming more widespread, says a new report.
One of the reasons many parents turn to homeschooling, in which they create their own curriculums, is to provide kids with a more comprehensive education about Black history, NBC News reported. U.S. history classrooms in public schools spend a limited amount of time on African-American history—less than 10 percent of total course hours, according to a 2015 study cited in a research paper released by the National Council of Social Studies last year.
Some schools may also only cover some, not all, of the Black history facts and moments that parents feel children should know. Schools might start with slavery and go to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., glossing over other prominent, but lesser-known moments, one interviewee pointed out in NBC’s report.
With parents taking their child’s or children’s education into their own hands, they can fill in the gaps and provide a personal touch while teaching Black history education. Parents can also turn to other avenues, such as a trip to the National Museum Of African American History And Culture, an educational space that speaks to the “national importance of examining Black History,” LaGarrett J. King, author of the National Council of Social Studies research paper, said.
It’s clear that homeschooling has become a “form of resistance” for parents who seek a better alternative for teaching kids about Black history.

Making its debut in 2011 at the Fête des Lumières in Lyon, the hugely popular Keyframes by the French art collective Groupe Laps will arrive just on time by boat from a performance at the African Games in Brazzaville, Congo. A 13-man crew from France will arrive to install 170 illuminated plastic puppets on the facades along the Zorlu Center plaza. The animated figures have invaded cities from Africa to Australia, animating the public space simply through light turning and of, creating a kinetic study of the weightless daredevil dance of parkour. Working with the principles of chronosphotography –a popular pastime in the early days of photography– jumping frames suggest an action and the gaps are filled in by the imagination, bringing the immobile to life.

Himrussia is the only company in Russia that combines manufacturing, research, and franchising activities.
For ten years, Himrussia has come a long way. It was established as a small company of two people united by a single idea to create a large-scale chemical production. Now it is a large federal network with 120 franchise points in 6 countries of the world.
Throughout its history, Himrussia creates products and services that become hits for customers and standards for the market. Our business is developing in parallel with the business of our partners, providing them with support and assistance, thanks to the widest experience in the production of detergents and technical liquids.
Launching a small production of automobile chemicals and car cosmetics with a range of four products. The scope of sales - automatic car washes in Kazan. But even in the first year, realizing the limitations of the Kazan market, attempts are made to go beyond Kazan and we sign agreements with a number of large wholesale companies from neighboring regions, Ufa, Ulyanovsk, Yoshkar-Ola, Cheboksary, Nizhny Novgorod.
Complete update and expansion of the range of automobile chemicals and cosmetics. The company's price list includes more than forty products of its own production, including retail packaging. The company's dealers are present in 10 regions of Russia, including Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. The first agreements on contract manufacturing with large Western Companies were concluded. We obtained a full package of permits for the entire range of our products.
The company's dealers in 30 regions of Russia, including the Far East, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok. The production becomes fully automated. The company employs 10 people. Two new lines of cleaning chemical agents and household chemical agents are launched. Agreement is reached on cooperation with the KSTU, which continues to this day. Due to this, the product range began to meet the advanced requirements for detergents.
First export supplies, entering the CIS market. Starting a dealer training program. Significant expansion of the product matrix due to related materials and equipment. Starting the production of Tosol cooling agents and Antifreeze liquids line.
The company staff reaches 40 people. Production moves to the territory of Himgrad Technopolis. The volume of production exceeds 500 tons per month. Creating a modern laboratory at the production facilities.
In order to achieve greater product availability for customers, a program has been launched to sell franchises of its own production. Four new directions, paints, aerosols, cleaning pastes and protective coatings appear. In the first year, 35 new production-franchised outlets were launched in the territory of the Russian Federation.
Launch of franchise partners in the CIS countries. Drafting the project for opening the production of raw ingredients. Participation in international and Federal exhibitions. Organizing our own Training Center. Active participation in tenders and government procurement, attracting large state orders. The total volume of production exceeds 2,000 tons per month.
120 franchised outlets launched. Active implementation of a modern affiliate support program. Development of two new areas of production franchise. Today, the company is a dynamically developing structure with ambitious plans and great prospects, and an extensive network of franchised outlets. Continuing to remain the unchanged market leader, the company keeps up with the times, never stopping on what was dine!
Education: Ulyanovsk Pedagogical Institute, philology.
Experience before establishing Himrussia: From the first day worked in active sales, regional, wholesale and retail sales. The first business - OOO TD Gagarin for the provision of services for the supply of household appliances, furniture and other things to the regions of Siberia and the Far East, was organized in 2003, residing in Ulyanovsk at that time. A year later, having accumulated a client base of more than 500 active clients and having reached a turnover of 3,000,000 rub. per month, sold this company and moved to Kazan.
After the relocation, for some time was the official food dealer of several large production companies of Moscow, and the owner of a catering point. In the course of work, became acquainted with the professorial staff of the KSTU and in 2008 decided to organize a company for the production of automobile chemicals. So Himrussia appeared. At that time there were only three similar productions in Russia. Since its foundation, the Company's product range has expanded from four positions to 800, including eight independent areas, with more than 100 partners in six countries of the world.
I will help you organize a serious business.
Become our partner and start earning!
Our specialists have dozens of launched productions for our partners throughout Russia and abroad. They will support you at all stages of work on launching and setting up production. Our franchises involve all that huge store of knowledge that we have accumulated over the years. We will help you to apply this knowledge as efficiently as possible!

A shame for Odisha !
Bhubaneswar: In a shocking incident, The KIIT and KISS Founder Achyuta Samanta being crowned as the King of KISS Jagannath Temple on occasion of Pushya Nakshatra, here creating outrage among devotees.
The incident deeply hurt devotion and sentiments of lakhs of devotees and showed disrespect to Puri Gajapati, sparking outrage on social media.
Achyuta Samanta, the founder of KIIT & KISS on Friday participated in the annual ritual of the KISS Jagannath Temple, where he was potrayed in a royal attire.
As the pictures of Samanta's coronation went viral on social media, tension sparked-off in Puri with the Jagannath Sena activists, who levelled allegations of misrepresentation of the Jagannath Temple culture.
It has evoked sharp reactions across some sections in Puri. The protesters burnt banners with Samanta's photo and raised slogans against him. They demanded Samanta's unconditional apology for the alleged self-conceited lavishness and misrepresentation of the rituals.
'We are deeply hurt by this action of Achyuta Samanta as it is against the tradition and culture of Lord Jagannath temple. It has hurt our sentiments. He aped the ritual conducted only for the Gajapati of Puri and that too, on the same particular day,' said Chinmaya Dash, Convenor, Puri Sanskruti Surakhya Mancha.

Mac Miller is coming home. Following the rapper's untimely death at 26 last week, the Pittsburgh rapper's body is being transported back to his hometown for the funeral service, TMZ reported Wednesday.
The publication reported Miller's casket was taken by plane from Los Angeles Wednesday morning and is on its way to Pittsburgh, where a Jewish service will be held for him later in the week. Fans of the rapper in the city already had a public vigil for him Tuesday night at the landmark Blue Slide Park, after which he named one of his most popular albums.
Miller's death was widely reported to be due to a drug overdose, but his official cause of death has been "deferred" by the L.A. County Coroner's Office, reported The Blast Sunday.
Miller's family has been mourning the loss of their loved one since his shocking death, with Miller's mom sharing a photo of the two of them on Instagram and the family releasing a statement at the time.
Meanwhile, the music industry has been in mourning over the loss of the young talent.
"I dont know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew," Chance The Rapper wrote after news broke about his passing. "Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him."
Post Malone, who collaborated with Miller, likewise tweeted, "God f– dammit. You were such an incredible person," Post wrote. "You changed so many lives. Had so much love in your heart. You inspired me throughout highschool, and I wouldn't be where I was today without you. Never a more kind and sincere and beautiful person. I f– love you Mac."
Ariana Grande, who dated Miller for three years prior to his death, simply posted a photo of the artist looking up at her with no caption.
Despite the end of their relationship, Grande was reportedly a huge supporter of Miller's sobriety. Miller's friend Shane Powers said on his podcast Tuesday that those blaming the pop star for the death of her ex were totally off base, saying she was "incredible" in her support of Miller as he struggled to stay sober.
"There was no one in his life more ready to go to the wall for him when it came to him being sober," Powers said. "She was an unbelievably stabilizing force in his life."

A 19-year-old University of Manchester student is using comedy improv as a way of coping with the stresses of competitive sport.
On top of her gold for triple jump at the Spa British Athletics Indoor championships, which saw her break the under-23 British indoor record, politics student Naomi Ogbeta also managed to snag a bronze medal at the European Junior Championships in Italy last year.
Naomi is viewed as the biggest prospect in British triple jumping for many years.
She said: “I have won the outdoor championship before but I have felt a bit of pressure coming into the indoor championships.
When she is not studying hard, going through gruelling training sessions or spending time with primary school children teaching them the art of triple jumping, Naomi flexes her comedy chops by attending her university’s improv society, something which gew from her love of acting when she was younger.
Naomi has completed her winter sports season and is looking ahead to the European Senior Championships to be held in Berlin this summer for her return to action.

Robyn and Joshua's son Zion was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and lived for 10 days after birth.
"My sweet precious Zion, you are my gift, Every breath you took was a moment to inhale the perfection of God's beauty. Every beat of your heart was a measure of love."
When Josh and Robbyn Blick learned that their son would be born with a fatal genetic abnormality, they were excited about the days they would get to spend with him - even if there weren't many.
So when little Zion Isaiah was born on January 11 - weighing just 4 pounds and 7 ounces - they were [overjoyed] to welcome him - and overjoyed when he fought to live for ten days.The couple, along with their four other young sons, documented the ten precious days they got to spend with baby Zion at their home in Lake Zurich, Illinois before he passed away on January 21.
Through beautiful photos posted to Instagram and a Vimeo video, they shared tender moments from his birth in hospital through to his one-week birthday celebration, surrounded by his brothers.
The little chap with one of his four big brothers. The parents were amazed how tiny their little boy was.
The family knew that Zion would be born with a fatal condition, but wanted to give him the chance to fight.
The couple told The Blaze that the family first learned that Zion had Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, about 20 weeks into Robbyn's pregnancy.
The genetic condition creates abnormalities in parts of the body, and the rate of survival is low due to heart abnormalities, kidney malformations and other internal organ disorders.
Some children with the abnormality are born with webbed feet, malformed ears, a small jaw or a small head, among other characteristics, and survival beyond the neonatal period is rare.
The Blicks discovered that Zion had a heart defect - but there was never any doubt that they were going to have their son.
Then their 'miracle' happened - when Zion was born on January 11.
"You listened when you heard your daddy's voice, and you turned your eyes his way. I kissed your face a million times, and I wish I could give you a million more."
Mum posted this pic of Zi and his dad, saying 'Twins'.
Zi's four brothers decorated his tiny coffin with their handprints as they said goodbye. Mum Robbyn said baby Zi taught the family so much about love and God.
"We love you Zion, our little miracle."

I graduated with a Masters degree in Occupational Therapy in 2008 from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. Shortly after receiving my Masters, I moved to Houston, Texas. For the past eight years, I have worked all throughout the medical center in Houston, including, but not limited to: TIRR Memorial Hermann, Memorial Hermann, MD Anderson, Supplemental Healthcare and now currently for Rehab Without Walls. During these eight years, I have specialized in neurological rehabilitation, and I have been very active with two non-profits: Rehab Services Volunteer Project (RSVP Houston) and the United Spinal Association Houston (formerly National Spinal Cord Injury Association Houston). Both organizations were created to help individuals living with neurological injuries.
I have worked with Saebo products – more specifically, the SaeboStretch and SaeboFlex – for at least seven years. I absolutely recommend them for all healthcare practitioners as Saebo products are unique in many ways.
They are easy for patients to use, which is paramount to prevent patients from discontinuing its use. The SaeboStretch splint displays arrows on each strap which makes it easy to put on and take off. Also, the design of the splint allows for stability and adjustability, two adjectives which rarely go together in the description of a splint. (Most splints that are designed to be stable sacrifice adjustability and flexibility.) The SaeboStretch is sturdy and built to last, yet it can also be molded and repositioned to accommodate individual patients’ needs which will improve positioning, comfort and protection of the skin.
I am currently working with a young client who has had a traumatic brain injury resulting in severe spasticity and hypertonicity. Some of the fingers on this client’s hand are contracted making it extremely difficult to position in a standard splint. Splints that were previously fabricated for this client no longer fit due to changes in tone and positioning of the hand/fingers. Also, previous splints have deteriorated in quality and the straps and Velcro are frequently falling off and need to be replaced.
So, we introduced her to the SaeboStretch.
Once we started working with the SaeboStretch, I was able to mold the positioning of the thumb and wrist angle to accommodate the exact position this client needed. The straps are always connected which makes it very easy for not only me as the clinician, but also her caregiving family to don and doff. Also, as this client’s needs change, the SaeboStretch can be adjusted with different inserts to allow for more or less flexibility.
We used this particular splint to protect the positioning of the client’s wrist, and preserve range of motion so that the wrist could ultimately be used to communicate. Because of this client’s severe brain injury, communication via talking out loud or blinking was not possible. Once the rehabilitation team determined that using the wrist was most effective to answer “yes/no” questions, finding an appropriate splint that would preserve range of motion in the wrist was paramount.
I’m pleased to say that using the SaeboStretch with this particular client not only preserved the range of motion in her wrist, but also helped to decrease the tone in her hand making it easier for the client to move the wrist to respond to questions and follow commands.
We normally don’t think of things like hand splints as a communication tool. When you put a Saebo solution in the hands of a skilled clinician, a whole new world can be opened up for a patient’s life.
I’m very thankful for Saebo in helping make this happen.

use a non-abrasive cloth or sponge with hot water to extend the life and conserve the luster of your quartz.
opt for a mild detergent or a spray cleaner and avoid abrasive liquid or powdered products, such as oven cleaners. If necessary, use a plastic scraper or non-abrasive scouring pad.
Caesarstone surfaces do not have any issues below 150 C (300F). However, like all stone, quartz surfaces can be damaged by sudden or rapid changes in temperature. Therefore you should avoid placing hot cookware or crockpots on the surface. We recommend using trivets or hot pads.
Caesarstone quartz surfaces are particularly resistant to scratching. You can further avoid deterioration by not using sharp objects like blades, knives or screwdrivers on the surface. The Use of a cutting board is always advisable so you do not cut directly on the quartz.

1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, finely slice the garlic and chilli, then roughly chop the anchovies and tomatoes.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil (use the oil from the tin of tuna for added flavour) in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the garlic, chilli, anchovies and capers. Fry for 2 minutes, add the tomatoes and toss well.
4. Reserving some of the cooking water, drain the pasta and add to the sauce. Toss well over the heat until lovely and glossy, adding a splash of the cooking water to loosen, if needed.
5. Flake in the tuna, then add some lemon juice and most of the rocket.
7. Season carefully with salt and more lemon juice.
8. Serve with a drizzle of oil, and a scattering of the reserved rocket.

In which our story comes full circle, and everything you know is wrong.
So it turns out the world of Utena is built on layers and layers of lies, right down to that opening fairy tale we’ve been hearing since the first episode. Surprise!
There’s not much in the way of spoiler-free episodic Utena analyses out there, and this episode highlights one of the major reasons for that. It’s a series that I do think can be enjoyed the first time through and discussed/analyzed in a newbie-friendly fashion (I wouldn’t have attempted these posts if I didn’t think that were true), but because so much of the story and themes hinge on setting up a world and all its little prejudices and assumptions and then systematically picking them apart, it’s also a series that takes on whole new dimensions the second time around. This is especially true where Anthy is concerned, which is why I’ve been skirting the topic pretty much since these posts began. But now we can finally talk about her! Huzzah!
for this week, as we touched on the “eternity” of memories as well as how the narrator’s perspective can alter a story. Memory and perception are back again this week, and storytelling literally takes center stage. Which, in an episode this dense, seems as good a place to start as any.
Right off the bat, we know things are going to be different this week, because our moralizing shadow girls have stepped out from behind their curtain to reveal that they’re not separate from the story at all, but just other students at this school, as entrenched in this world and all its misconceptions as anyone else. Still, we’ve been trained to read their scenes as a kind of abstract “truth,” so we go into their play expecting answers from it.
And we do get answers, of a sort. “The Tale of the Rose” is the truth as understood by this society and especially this school. It’s a fairy tale, yes, but fairy tales are meant to convey morals, ideals, “proper” ways of behaving or seeing the world. Cultural truths, basically. There’s a reason so many of our oldest tales don’t use actual character names but rather titles or characteristics. In the same way, shadow plays are faceless; they’re meant to convey not individuals, but archetypes and ideas.
The other major archetype is that of the prince, who over time has come to embody… well, everything, just about. The witch tells him he is the “light of the world,” and that the light of the world is eternal, shining, miraculous, and can revolutionize the world—everything out duelists have been fighting for. The prince comes to stand not just for a single hope or ideal, but for any (or all?) of them, depending on the perspective, making him even less of an individual than the princesses and witches of the world.
There’s a philosophically tangled question here about meaning and symbolism which I’m gonna struggle to properly convey, but here goes nothing: Archetypes and symbols stand for distilled or simplified versions of cultural expectations, objects, virtues, what have you. We’ve talked before about metaphors and how they have flexibility to them so that, say, Nanami’s egg can mean different things depending on the context. But suppose you have a symbol that’s so vague it can mean anything to anybody, and people just use it to represent whatever they want? In that case, the thing itself—the prince, here—would have no form or meaning of its own; it would be wholly dependent on the observer. In other words, it’s inherently meaningless.
This is the concept at the heart of absurdism—that life/existence has no inherent meaning, just the meaning we as individuals find in it—as well as at the center of our arena’s Castle in the Sky. There’s no prince inside except the ones our duelists envision, an ideal outside of themselves that they hope to reach. Which begs a second question: Are people themselves nothing more than the value/meaning others place upon them? Have time and cultural understanding morphed Anthy into the witch, the Rose Bride, the “key” to the castle? All of our duelists (even Utena) have at one point fallen into the trap of using Anthy as a stand-in (or scapegoat) for their own desires, same as they have the castle. Is she no different than the shadow figures, the archetypes in the play?
both in terms of the shadow figures that turn individuals into abstract ideals (as discussed above) as well as the large swathes of black space used to frame characters and convey a narrowness of perspective. “The Tale of the Rose” is more than just a nifty fairy tale about gender expectations and abstract cultural values: It’s also what remains of a true story and real, unique individuals, passed down through generations by the families of the princesses and chock-full of their own prejudices, narrow perspectives, and beliefs. As such, it’s not only limited, but flat-out wrong.
In flashback, we see Dios himself worn ragged from the villagers’ demands, trying to save everyone and slowly losing himself in the process. As Vrai notes, his costume takes on the same muted colors of the villagers, as if they’re already stripping him of his personhood, painting him in broad archetypal strokes. Only Anthy stands out, splashed in reds and purples, an individual with agency who chooses to exercise what power she has to save the brother she loves.
In return, she’s pierced with the swords of hatred and left in a state of half-death—and, you’ll note, framed in profile, robbed of a distinct form and face unless you’re willing to cross the rift and draw close enough, as Utena does.
Basic world-building aside (for example, Anthy’s seeming ability to teleport is likely due to the fact that her body is a projection, since her real form is currently trapped in the hell Utena visited), this episode recasts Anthy as a perpetual pariah, the “witch” forced to bear the blame of all the world’s ills—a world forever seeking salvation (and denying responsibility) from figures outside of itself, never acknowledging those figures’ own suffering, never thinking they could perhaps “save” themselves instead of relying on others. We see the students at Ohtori Academy doing essentially the same thing, using Anthy either as a scapegoat or a stand-in, never treating her as a person herself. After all that, is it any wonder that she remains loyal to what remains of her brother, despite how toxic their relationship has become?
Given what we know about the people who relied on the prince, it’s not surprising that Dios and Anthy’s tale should have been so thoroughly warped over the years, becoming “The Tale of the Rose” the students know today. What’s more surprising, though, is how much Utena’s own memories have shifted over the years, so that she’s not only forgotten the reason she wanted to become a prince in the first place, but has even changed her goal entirely. She no longer wants to be a prince to save somebody, but rather as a way to meet her prince again—and, by implication, to be saved by him once more. In a roundabout way, she’s imitating a prince so she can one day become his princess.
It circles us back to Mikage’s own faulty memories, and reminds us of the parallels between him and Utena, as well as the fate they could share if Utena isn’t careful. Both were inspired to achieve something “impossible” (becoming a prince and achieving eternity) in order to save someone; both were slowly subsumed and used by a system (and an older sibling) they didn’t fully understand; and both have memories they treasure but cannot trust.
Nobody sat Utena down and forcibly told her to change her story. There was no clear-cut moment, as there is with the play, where we can say THIS is the incorrect thing, this is how and why you changed it. But there are a thousand little things: Akio telling Utena she’s bound to forget this moment and that she will become a woman (one who cannot save), dismissing the validity of her choices and her story from the word go; the narration itself almost laughing at her princely decisions, the condemnation from her teachers that she’s not acting like a “real” girl. Utena starts out very much hedging her bets, in pursuit of that “totally normal boy” and can only remember a prince who changed her life. Years of little pressures wear a person down, wear a story down, and unless one is constantly fighting to hold onto that story it will eventually be subsumed into what the powers-that-be find palatable.
Utena’s going up against not just her own faulty memories, but a culture which constantly pressures her to change those memories and herself. She’s already succumbed to and been shaped by those forces. If it continues, she could easily be caught in a trap similar to Mikage’s: trapped by a past that never existed, used by Akio to forward a larger agenda, and eventually tossed aside when she’s worn out her uses.
34). Then, during the photo shoot, she makes it a point to stand between him and Akio.
And then, when Anthy does leave the two alone, it’s Utena who rejects his advances, telling him she wants to remain “true” to her prince—or rather (and importantly), to the promise she made to him. Utena may not remember the specifics of that promise, but she remembers that she must keep her nobility at all costs.
It’s also noteworthy that this all happens immediately after Akio laments how “hard” it must be to be Anthy’s friend, implicitly opening the door for Utena to agree with him and vilify Anthy. That Utena rejects his assumptions about Anthy and then rejects him suggests a connection, even if it is a tenuous one. Anthy’s position and role make it easy for others to blame her, but Utena never does. It speaks highly of their bond, and may even suggest that Utena hasn’t entirely forgotten her “something eternal” after all.

Angelina Jolie’s London style streak continues.
The UNCHR Special Envoy carried out her duties in a monochrome look comprised entirely of her favorite color, black. Jolie, 43, spoke out about sexual violence during an event at The British Film Institute in London last week in skinny black pants, pointed-toe flats, a waist-tie coat, a matching top with lace trim, and an Alexander McQueen clutch with Swarovski embellishments and gold skull-bearing hardware about the clasp (ssense.com; $1,695).
Jolie kept her hair and makeup classic but understated, wearing her lush brown locks in loose waves at her shoulders and opting for a pale pink lip.
We couldn’t help but draw the parallel between her sophisticated-yet-casual wear and the iconic style of another actress-turned-humanitarian: Audrey Hepburn.
The EGOT-winner’s bold dance scene in 1957’s Funny Face cemented the cool black-on-black look as a classic and fail-proof pairing (and also inspired a Gap campaign).
The LBP (little black pant) isn’t going anywhere.

There was a worker on the rink pad with a leaf rake. He seemed to be trying to rake leaves from under the ice with a simple rake. It looked completely futile, and he went off the ice to get an ice chipper. He said the rink should be open on Saturday or Sunday but that the weather was not good so 'who knows.' He said that they are having problems at Nathan Philips and suggested that it will mean problems for the rest of the rinks as well. I saw the rink pad was covered in leaves and he told me that they did the best they could, but it was impossible to keep the rink leafless because there were trees right beside it. I looked at the trees and they were completely bare and had been for a while (seen in the photos of my previous visits). The change room was still a mess and there were still plenty of leaves outside of the rink. O.S.
4 pm: There was nobody around and the rink was covered in ice, however it was full of white patches and leaves beneath and on the ice. Last season's signs were finally removed from the door of the change room but the room was still in an untouched state.
The ice looks okay. In mid-afternoon -- one skater. No signage, either. Three kids inside, with a building attendant. The attendant said there might have been ten skaters there all day. One of the kids said that the zamboni guys told him they were going to "put it on the news" that Regent South is open. It emerged that the "news" may have been letting "311" know about it.
12 noon: the rink got a flood, first of the day. 3 skaters.
A mother skated with her son - who was fully dressed in a hockey uniform. The woman said that she took a chance and came out although she didn't know if the rink would be open. She was very glad it was.
Friday Feb.18 2011, mid-afternoon. Sunny and 9 degrees.
4.25pm: Rink closed. There was a member of staff in the change room. He said he hoped the rink could open again at around 7pm or 8pm. The ice was wet all over and looked rough from where the zamboni must have driven over it to scrape. Twigs and leaves had blown onto the ice in places.
At about 6pm there were 22 people in the change room (11 kids and 11 adults) the kids were getting ready for shinny, plus 4 kids skating. The ice was a bit rough, like it could do with a flood, but generally ok and hard except for the edges where the ice felt like it was cracking under foot.
Two rink guards in the change room said the ice had turned to mush the day before. They said they expected the Flying Squad to stop by to flood at around 6.30pm.

How To Sew A Separating Zipper: Top-Stitching And Faced Method For Beginners.
The separating zipper is perhaps one of the best inventions in dressmaking. Not only are separating zippers extremely functional, they also play an important aesthetic role in fashion design. As opposed to other zipper applications, separating zippers are actually not difficult to sew and a great way for a sewing beginners to get started with zippers.
As mentioned above, separating zippers aren't just functional, they also add an aesthetic design element to clothing. Due to the fact that the zipper teeth and half of the zipper tape are usually exposed and visible on the outside of the garment, separating zippers are incorporated visually into the design of the clothing item at hand. This concept is especially true when working with metal zipper teeth which adds a classic contrasting element to the style of a garment.
Speaking of separating zipper components, both metal and plastic options are available. Both options are equally as durable and functional. However, plastic zipper teeth (coils) are used when a lighter weight is necessary or desired. Plastic separating zippers also allow for more color flexibility- so if you are working on a project that requires the zipper teeth and tape to match the color of the garment, or perhaps you want to add a color blocking effect with a contrasting color zipper, then plastic separating zippers are the way to go.
Metal separating zippers on the other hand are a bit heavier in weight offering more durability and no risk of the actual coils melting or breaking during ironing and use. Aesthetically, metal separating zippers offer a classic, contrasting element to a garment also serving as an important design element. While you can certainly find metal separating zippers in a variety of colors, only the zipper tape portion is available in color variations- the actual zipper teeth are usually not altered in color and available in metal finishes of gold-tone, nickel or black.
How To Shorten A Metal And Plastic Separating Zipper At Home.
In last week's tutorial, you learned how to shorten close-ended, conventional zippers. This week, we'll take things a bit further by showing you how to shorten a separating zipper. As you might have guessed, shortening a separating zipper takes a bit of extra effort and follows a different process (and logic) than that of a regular, conventional zipper.
Understanding the structure of a separating zipper is very important when it comes to shortening it. Due to the fact that all the functional hardware is located at the bottom, a separating zipper cannot be shortened from the bottom using a whipstitch as you would on a close-end conventional zipper. Since the bottom portion is essential to the operation of a separating zipper, it should be left untouched in the shortening process.
