Bug Launchers include thinner diameter compressed cork grips for a better fit in smaller hands. The yellow Bug Launcher logo stands out against a candy apple red blank. Speaking of blanks, this series is made from general graphite so theres less risk when that passing dragonfly happens to take a swipe. An extended reel seat allows smaller anglers to use two hands for more control. Two models, a 7 4/5 weight and an 8 5/6 weight, both are 2-piece.

Sure, old-fashioned table numbers used by some event planners New York can get the attendees seated – but why be commonplace? Try these nifty, unique ideas for table numbers on your next event and thanks us later.
In their exhibition, David Stark Design hung myriad Edison style light bulbs from a low ceiling to depict table numbers – and it was the bomb. Not only did they help guest locate their seats with much ease in a flurry of more than 400 seats, but they also made an obvious statement about the New York event planner.
Here’s another witty idea that event planners New York can borrow from organizers of Santa Monica Museum of Art’s gala dinner. With over 300 art patrons and artists scheduled to be seated, the organizers painted the table numbers onto the bright white paper tablecloths. They were unmistakable as well as sassy.
This country farm-to-table dinner idea can work like a charm on your next idea. At Lowline’s last year event, moss-filled jars served as table numbers. Well, it was quirky but exhilarating at the same time.
The 7th annual Call of the Game dinner organizers did a bang-up job with their painted guitars that served as table numbers. They also doubled as centerpieces – the most sizzling while at that.
Debut by David Stark Design, a New York event planner, for a graffiti theme bar mitzvah held at Center548, the spray-painted cans with table numbers took the event by storm.
This idea is a brainchild of AaB Creates. At a wedding held at Altman Building back in 2012, the event planners New York used X-Acto knives to carve table numbers out of the books’ pages. It was quite a sight.
NDA event at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum in 2011 was a show-stealer thanks to the large graphic table numbers that also added a little flair of sass and style to the décor.
It’s a David Stark idea once again! In the National Design Awards Gala Dinner in 2011, the event planner New York used plenty of this tape for both décor and displaying huge table numbers.
These are just but a few unique ideas for table numbers. You can always try messing around with conventional numbering – how does using important years in the company sound?
Again, normal table numbers will get your guests to their seats, to be amongst the best event planner New York you have to be creative in the way you express yourself. Show your personality with imaginative table names and if your client is up for it, make the table numbers so extravagant that it becomes the centerpiece. Always incorporate the table numbers with the event’s theme and remember that just because they’re called “table numbers,” they don’t ACTUALLY have to be numbers.

Unity has serious performance issues. Improvements are slowly starting to trickle in, but even then, the current state of affairs leaves a lot to be desired. Making Unity faster and slicker should be Canonical's top priority in my opinion, and that is why I am still a big proponent of "Project Butter" for Ubuntu. Let's just hope that, Unity's performance will get the deserved attention it needs to compete with the best out there. In the meantime, here are some nice little tweaks to significantly improve performance of Unity in Ubuntu.
Remove Unwanted Lenses: I wonder why I didn't think about this before. I have never found video, music or photo lens useful. I know where exactly my files are and I would simply use Nautilus file browser instead. And I have rarely used gwibber and shopping lens, that too mostly for testing purposes. If you're like me, you might want to remove them for a faster responding Unity dash. Copy-paste the following command into Terminal.
Compiz Config Settings Manager: Further tweaks require good old Compiz Config Settings Manager. Though severely limited when compared to its former self, CCSM still has some interesting tweaks up its sleeve. Click Here to Install CCSM or do the following in Terminal.
Disable Animations and Fading windows: I am all for eyecandy, but it should not be at the cost of performance and responsiveness of the OS. Disabling Animations and Fading windows from CCSM might make your Ubuntu look less attractive. But as far as I can see, it has a significant positive impact on performance.
Set the Texture Filter to "Fast": Open Compiz Config Settings Manager again and go to the General section. There you will see "OpenGL". Open it and set Texture Filter to "fast". You will start seeing a definitive increase in overall Unity performance almost immediately.
Install Preload: Preload has been mentioned a number of times here. It basically monitor applications you run, and by analyzing this data, predicts what applications you might run, and fetches those binaries and their dependencies into memory for faster startup times. And installing Preload can drastically improve your overall Ubuntu Unity performance. To an extent, the kind of slickness you see in distros like elementary OS Luna is because of Preload. Click Here to install Preload or do the following in Terminal.
If you're already satisfied with the way Unity performs and want some cool, snazzy animations and effects to lighten up your OS, this is what you need to read.

Last week was a busy one, for both books news and me. Check up on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Fight Club, The Fault in Our Stars, and more below.
John Green broke hearts and dashed hopes last week, when he tweeted that he had no intention of writing a sequel to The Fault in Our Stars.
Did you know that both Fight Club and Fight Club 2 were inspired by The Great Gatsby?
It’s been quite a while since we saw Aldous Huxley’s classic dystopian novel on television. Here’s hoping the upcoming Brave New World TV series will be excellent.
Get an inside look at the new Supernatural coloring book over at Bustle.
The new Pennywise looks much more ancient than the Tim Curry incarnation.
If you’re a fan of Sabaa Tahir’s YA novel, and are looking forward to reading A Torch against the Night, get ready for more of Laia’s story.
I have never published a better headline, and I probably never will.
Jeremy P. Bushnell’s second novel is a fun and quirky adventure that centers on a magic knife.
The new cover looks a little like Luckiest Girl Alive, so you might be disappointed at the lack of brooding teenagers.
The Canadian treasure takes on the role of Disapproving Woman in the Netflix-CBC adaptation of her 1996 novel, Alias Grace.
If current trends continue, I’m less than 15 years away from becoming nigh un-hireable. That needs to change.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child‘s producers are turning away fans who purchase tickets through brokers.
The upcoming film adaptation of The Dark Tower might give way to a lot of little Rolands.
Interbellum fiction is wonderful, but novels written by women in that period often go overlooked.

By increasing its dividend, Expedia management has put its money where its mouth is in expressing confidence about the future of the company. The takeaway: Expedia officials believe its second quarter stumble was an aberration.
Despite a tough second quarter in which troubles integrating Orbitz Worldwide contributed to missing revenue expectations and a deceleration in hotel room night growth, Expedia Inc. is raising its dividend 8.3 percent to $0.26 per share.
Besides being a nice windfall for shareholders, payable on September 15, why is the dividend increase important?
Because it shows that Expedia management has confidence in the company’s trajectory and future earnings despite missteps in the second quarter, with the company acknowledging that integrating Orbitz was a huge distraction.
In contrast, two of Expedia’s rivals, the Priceline Group and TripAdvisor, do not pay shareholders a dividend.
Expedia’s dividend goes to shareholders of record as of close of business August 25, 2016.

We had excavated quite a few sites along the West Dorset coast so Sally and Sue asked if they could work with us, to join the coastguard, blacksmith, herbalist and ornithologist already recruited. Part of the project involved walking up Golden Cap, talking along the way about what we do as archaeologists and how we feel when working on a site. We had excavated the Bronze Age Barrows and Napoleonic signal station right on the top of the hill over a couple of seasons, with an amazing view as we worked. It was hard to remember that the Bronze Age people would not have had the same view, as the coastline would have been about a mile further out to sea.
As part of the project we were asked to choose a favourite word or place associated with what we did along the coast of Dorset. I chose the word prehistoric, as West Dorset, to me, feels prehistoric, with its hill forts, barrows and stone age objects eroding from the cliffs. It was then turned into music, by punching holes into card in the shape of the word and then fed through a musical box mechanism, a magic moment!
Last week I looked out and back from Hardy Monument ..in consideration of someone pivotal… now gone.
Hardy’s is high up. The highest point of the vast Bronze Age cemetery of the South Dorset Ridgeway.
Looking distantly down onto a field… now, with dogs gathering sheep… but then, where my caravan was.
A September Sunday afternoon. After the excavation…. ordering the artefacts.
I was leftover. The vibrant dig community gone. A row of bleached grass rectangles. Just the finds supervisor’s tent against the Loscombe Copse.. two fields away.. and the HQ caravan, a little out of sight, beside the barrow …and the lone tree.
HQ was full ..of vegetarian beans, pulses and CND posters ‘do not walk gently…..’ With the blackberries and hazelnuts.. enough to keep me for a while.
From my window, rural Dorset, and just the tinny sound of Terry Wogan leaking from a battered transistor. All that it could manage.
On the table, a plastic bag containing one of the cremations from the barrow.
Each had a gift for the dead. One had a bronze dagger, another a stone archer’s wrist guard. But what of this one? The director had asked me to separate the bone from the charcoal.
That was my job.. on an isolated peaceful Sunday afternoon.
Soon, my survey contract would begin… me and my bicycle, visiting, measuring, researching every Ridgeway barrow… but the winter-let flat and marriage were still 2 weeks away.
So… place the contents carefully on the table and gradually separate the black from the grey-white while listening to the hits of 82.
As the hours passed…the necklace emerged.
The National Trust archaeologists have been to Sutton Hoo. Angus showed us the new visitor access route. How to evoke the wonder of the place from a few low mounds.. ringed with modern distractions? To reveal the very roots of the English…in a nice way.
What a story ! Local skilled archaeologist Basil Brown asked to excavate a mound…. on the utter brink of WWII. Britain’s Tutankhamun, emerging as the tempest clouds of war gathered. A sand long boat. The decayed planks carefully revealed as a beautiful and curving ridged mould, spaced with clinker nails. That long last peaceful summer…it never rained.
Amazing gifts for a king, gathered in Suffolk from across the known world. The find so great that Brown is edged out by the posh academics from the BM. A poignant photo in the cafe as he respectfully watches the experts at work.
We gather in the wood above the riverside. We imagine the 7th century long boat dragged to its final resting place. Was this Raedwald, Bretwalda, king of the Anglo-Saxon kings? His people gathered around him and the gifts and treasure bestowed in honour of his greatness. Memories and stories. The holy men guided the congregation from life to death and a life beyond his passing.
I stand at the stone tower and look back to the caravan… and beside me a large Bronze Age barrow. The highest of the 600 or so scattered along the ridge between Dorchester and Weymouth…from Abbotsbury to Poxwell.
The plundered burial mound beside the Hardy Monument.
and mine in 1982…the amber and shale.. hidden but then emerging from the charcoal. Lozenges and cones, with holes drilled for the long rotted thread.
As the sun passed to late afternoon, his mini-van bumps across the field to meet me. I wait to show him.
Years before, the newly graduated Weymouth students had followed him to the shores of Poole Harbour and spent the summer easing a Roman pottery workers’ settlement from the stubble. We got food poisoning…the motorbike got a flat. His back gave out… but we tenderly carried him on the finds table to the trench edge. A battle stretcher but with cheesecloth and loons.
On a road to Emmaus, at his requiem mass, we gathered to honour him and remembered.
As Martin so eloquently puts it ‘the cliffs are leaking archaeology’ especially in West Dorset, with its soft geology and erosion by the sea. Luckily for us there are keen-eyed locals who walk the same routes and notice changes and strange objects laying on the beach or sticking out of a fresh landslip.
A few weeks ago I found a message on my desk to ring a Mr Bickford who had found what he was sure were parts of a quern stone used for grinding corn and some clay loom weights, near Seatown in West Dorset. I felt a little jolt of excitement, as regular readers of this blog will recognize Seatown as the place where we excavated a Bronze Age burnt mound and two Iron Age ovens. (see 20/07/2015 burnt mound the story so far). Could we have more evidence to fill out the story of the Iron Age at this site, or was this a new place to investigate further along the cliff?
I rang and arranged to pop over to Seatown and look at what he had found and record were they came from. So it was that I headed west on a bright and sunny morning, deep blue sky above and spirits high. I was not disappointed!
I met Humphrey in the car park and we walked up the hill to his house, round the corner and into the garden. What I saw took the last of the breath away that the climb up the hill had left me. On the garden table were three large pieces of quern, both upper and lower stones, and next to them what looked like one and a half very large triangular clay loom weights!
The stone the quern is made from is not local to the immediate area. We have had a few geologists look at images and one suggestion is that it may be continental! But they need to see it in the flesh, so to speak, so they can see every mineral and inclusion.
The loom weights? probably something else but what?
Both the quern and the possible loom weights are probably Iron Age and the small piece of pottery found with them looks very like the Iron Age pottery from the ovens found when excavating the ‘burnt mound’ site nearby.
Once again we are on the trail of more information about a site. Try to solve the mystery of the weights and it’s a trip to the geologist first to see if we can track down the origin of the quern stone, who knows what stories we can then tell about the people who lived at Seatown over two thousand years ago.
We can write down our memories for future generations to read, but we can also hear the past through sound recordings and videos.
Today Alex is visiting from The Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network (CITiZAN http://www.citizan.org.uk), an organization set up in response to dynamic threats to our island coastal heritage. It is a community archaeology project and actively promotes site recording and long-term monitoring programmes led by volunteers.
Alex will be soon leading a walk at Studland on the Dorset coast, looking at the WWII sites, and as well as research for the tour she hopes to play snippets from our sound archive of local people talking about what it was like, what they saw and stories of life in Studland during WWII.
Studland played an important part in WWII as a testing area for amphibius tanks and fougasse (burning sea). In April 1944 Prime Minister Winston Churchill, King George VI and General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces and in charge of the military operation) met at Fort Henry on Redend Point at Studland to watch the combined power of the Allied Forces preparing for D-Day.
The copies of the small sound archive we hold at the office are all still on original cassette tapes. For younger readers there is a picture below of what one is!
Alex has had to come and use our old technology to be able to then record a digitized copy for use in the field. We will need to digitize our archive so the recordings are more accessible. Luckily we have a cassette transcribing machine and a cassette player. The transcriber has extra controls so you can slow the tape down, change the tone and various backspace and counter options. It even has a foot pedal control!
Transcribing machine – a special purpose machine which is used for voice recording processing, so the recording can be written in hard copy form.
One day these machines will become part of the archaeological archives. At the moment they are thankfully still available and needed to play the memories from the past.
The garden seat at Shedbush Farm, Golden Cap Estate. Time to analyse the evidence and begin to tell the story of the site.
The soil is back in the trench and we are left with the drawings, the photographs, the soil samples and the finds.
We started with a leaflet on burnt mounds produced by Historic England. It concluded that..nobody really knows what they were constructed for but most are found beside water courses and have a trough beside them. This has led to the idea that stones were first heated on fires and then thrown into the water filled trough. The hot water might then be used to create a sauna or sweat lodge or could be used to steam heat food for feasting perhaps. The hot rocks on cool water caused them to shatter and the waste fragments were regularly cleared from the trough and heaped into a mound beside it.
Nice ideas but our location was not beside water. We found that pushing a small container full of water up hill in a wheelbarrow was hard work. The stream flowed in the valley, beside the car park, about 20m down slope from us. There may have been a trough but we did not find it, unless it had dropped off the cliff or lay outside our deep narrow trench.
Our mound is made of lots of small blackened pieces of Upper Greensand sandstone and chert mixed with ashy silt and towards the bottom increasing amounts of clay. The product of a lot of work.. collecting and burning the wood and stones to break them down into such as small size. A very windy spot, on a shelf of land half way up Ridge Hill.. now Ridge Cliff because since the Bronze Age the sea has claimed most of it.
The mound is the waste product of a process. It looks like an industrial waste heap..if so, what was produced here? Perhaps stone was broken up to create temper to hold pottery together during firing. No pottery found in the mound though. Perhaps metal was worked nearby.. no slag in the heap though. Just stone and charcoal and clay.
Perhaps the mound is a pyre. A significant feature never understandable to us because we cannot comprehend the belief system that created it. Too easy and a bit of a cop out but perhaps true.
Above the mound we found flint scrapers and a few bits of chunky coarse grained Bronze Age pottery but the C14 analysis of the charcoal will confirm or deny our current estimate of about 1000 BC.
Nancy working on one of the Iron Age ovens high above the top of the Bronze Age burnt mound. About 40 generations had come and gone since the final cooling of the burnt mound and the lighting of the oven.
At the west end, the mound was cut by a later ditch and above this we found the two ovens. Not kilns we think now. Their entrances are simple and facing the prevailing wind to the south-west. The pottery in and around them seems to be Late Iron Age, about 2000 years old but apart from the ovens and the cluster of pottery around them, no post-holes or other settlement features were found at this level. There were a scatter of stone finds which suggest local industry here. The kind of roughly worked flint which is found in Purbeck interpreted as lathe bits to turn shale bracelets. We only found one chunk of shale at Seatown though. This was far from its geological source in Kimmeridge.
I came across a cube of green flint. It looked like an exotic mosaic cube when it was first brought up by the mattock. Other fragments were found at the same ovens level and they were obviously selected and brought here for a reason. Ali, the site’s geologist is looking into the source of this rock. Perhaps used and worked to create jewellery?
So we need to go away and analyse the samples, look at the soils and the ancient pollens within them examine and compare the finds.
It was good to hear Mike talk about the soils when he visited and I could see them change as I drew them. rising up the section beyond the last flint finds. Ploughing each season, helped by gravity dragged the soils down from above. This land was part of Chideock’s open fields in medieval times before the land was enclosed in 1558. About 20cm below the surface we found 17th and 18th century pottery mixed with bits of slate… but by this time the soil was wind-blown sand.. a sign that the cliff was approaching fast and after 3000 years, the end of the burnt mound was nigh..
Evening over Golden Cap beginning the walk back to Seatown from the burnt mound.
The final day, nose to the grind stone, no tea break and a late lunch.
Due to the efforts of all the diggers Clive only needed to do one scoop to hit the bottom of the burnt mound material, the thin buried soil it was sat on and he top of the natural bedrock. The layer under the mound was very pale grey and silty. We took a sample of this to look for pollen and to look at the soil make up, one of many samples taken through the mound.
The kiln/oven finally gave up its form, the charcoal spread out of the opening. The second kiln/oven had a layer of burnt clay but no charcoal under that layer, just a brown soil, but one side of the opening was very clear to see. Both had an opening facing the same way, west-south-west.
The charcoal was very well preserved as I found earlier. It’s amazing that the structure of the wood is locked by burning and we will be able to see what species it was thousands of years later.
Then the sad moment came for Clive to start filling in the trench, and time for us to eat a sandwich, re-hydrate and have some Women’s Institute lemon drizzle cake provided by Fay. Yummy!
We had one last task to do, with Clive happy to help we just dug out the area next to the kiln/oven to see if we had another one to the inland side, alas we didn’t but it was worth a look as we would always have wondered.
With one last look at the cliff edge that had been our ‘office’ for two weeks we headed down to pack up the tools and then for a well earned cuppa.
We will post updates about all the samples we took and the radiocarbon dates as we get them back from the specialists. The pottery and flints need washing before we send them for identification and dating. So keep watching the blog.

After careful due diligence and discussions with his wife, family and advisers, Mr. Jackson has decided not to proceed with any further investment or involvement in Project Happyland Vietnam.
Project Happyland Vietnam, backed by Khang Thong Group was projected to be the largest theme park in South East Asia. It was to be inspired by the late Michael Jackson’s Neverland Valley Ranch.
Mr. Jackson would like to thank the people of Vietnam for their warmth, hospitality and kindness. “I Believe in the growth potential of Vietnam and plan on visiting again soon to look for new opportunities over there.” Mr. Jackson said.

I was staying up one night, a few weeks before Lyndsay's due date, just being indulgent and enjoying some late-night television. As I draw nearer and nearer to my client's due dates, I get more fastidious about my bedtimes and curfews, to make sure that I get as much sleep in as possible before potential texts and phone calls are received about labours beginning, or imminent birth. So I was up that night, and suddenly get a text from Cory saying they're heading to triage to get checked out. I immediately ready my bags and things just in case, and then plan to go take a nap. I then get a few more texts, inconclusive in nature, describing Lyndsay as being in labour but... somehow... there is some doubt as to the seriousness of this. They were not expecting to go into labour that night, several weeks before their due date. It sounded like they weren't too sure if this was going to turn into full-blown BIRTH or maybe this wasn't true labour and maybe they would be sent back home, and maybe... just maybe?
I took a shower, threw my stuff in the car and drove to the hopistal to meet them. Because to me, it sounded like this was the night. And it was! Lyndsay was so strong, and despite being a bit shocked at the fact that things were happening so much earlier than anticipated, and being exhausted... she handled her contractions and her pain like an absolute Warrior. Sure she had doubts. Sure she had fear. Sure, she wanted and needed and asked for and received pain relief. But none of that takes away the courage, the nerve, the strength and the grace that she possessed throughout those hours of tough labour and tough pushing and birthing. I also need to tell you about her husband Cory. What a guy! He was her guiding light, her beacon of hope and confidence. Her friend and companion. Her source of humour, her source of hope. He believed in her when she lost faith. He pushed her when she felt she couldn't go further. He held on and stayed awake and alert and committed and devoted and completely engaged every single moment of every single hour. And then... at 9:51 AM when Maverick emerged... Cory grasped his son and guided him out and into this world, with his own bare hands. Their wonderful midwifery team was so supportive and empowering... they just had the best care you could ever hope for. I was overjoyed for them!
Maverick's cord was quite short, so Cory held him right up against Lyndsay's body while the cord was clamped and cut, and Maverick immediately went to his daddy for some skin-to-skin snuggles while Lyndsay found herself again after all those hours of hard, hard work.
It was such a pleasure hanging out with this couple all night long, and into the following morning. They were beautiful together and individually. They were strong, and united, their friendship and love for one another was palpable in the room. I can see very clearly how great they will be as Maverick's parents and am extremely excited to continue following their journey into the future. I have so much gratitude for this couple... and their openness to my sharing their story here.
I'm going to try something a little different for this blog post, and share a slideshow. My first one!
If you are curious about birth photography and would like to chat with me about it, or share your own story with me, please get in touch! I would be thrilled to hear from you.

Bridging loans can provide your finances with a much-needed boost, whether it's in order to fund a major purchase – such as buying a house – or to renegotiate existing debts into a single monthly repayment. Whatever the reason, it is important that you are able to keep on top of such a financial commitment.
Indeed, these types of loan can be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and, as they are secured against a property, making sure you are always in a position to make monthly repayments is imperative.
However, this is where Positive Finance can provide you with bridging loan help. Not only are we one of the country's leading providers of this kind of credit, but by using our bridging loan calculator you can get a good idea of exactly how much you need to pay.
How does a bridging loan calculator work?
Our bridging loan calculator tool is extremely easy to use. Upon visiting this section of our site, simply enter the amount of money you wish to borrow and the monthly interest you pay on your mortgage.
From here, we will calculate exactly how much money you will need to pay back each month.
Doing so can give you a good idea of how much this kind of loan will cost and you may discover it is much less expensive than you thought it would be!
We are dedicated to providing you with the most competitive rates available, so using the calculator could be the first step you take in order to obtain a good deal on a bridging loan.
You will also find we are committed to giving you as much flexibility as possible over the period which you make your repayments.
Typically we provide bridging loans that need to be paid back in between one and six months, however if you require less or more time we can accommodate this.
Payment terms of up to 12 months can be obtained from us if necessary and it is you – not us – who decides when debts need to be settled.
As principle lenders, we do not impose broker fees or any kind of upfront charge so you may find our rates to be much more competitive than those that are available elsewhere.
We consider every application that comes to us and work tirelessly to provide you with a loan that is tailored to your individual needs. Our bridging loan calculator can certainly give a good indication of how much it will cost to borrow from us, but it may only be when you speak to one of our team of experts that you discover what a fantastic rate you can get.
Based in the Walkden area of Manchester, Positive Finance has been providing bridging loans to businesses and individuals for several years and is well-placed to provide you with competitively-priced credit.

Why take out a bridging loan rather than a bank loan?
Bridging loans have many advantages over bank loans and it is important that you explore these when weighing up the two options. While bank loans have lower interest rates, they are usually less flexible than bridging loans and slower to process.
There are some real bargains to be had at property auctions and bridging loans can help you secure one. Provided you have a home that can be used as security, your chances of obtaining bridging finance are strong.
What are the processes for paying back a bridging loan?
If you take out a bridging loan, it is important to have an exit strategy, otherwise you could lose your home if you fail to repay the funds as agreed. There are various ways you can repay the loan, including using the proceeds from a property sale.
What finance options are there for buying properties at auction?
If you want to secure one of the many great deals that can be had at property auctions, you need to think about how you will fund your purchase. One option is bridging finance, which has several benefits, including less stringent lending criteria.
When applying for a bridging loan, you must decide whether to do it yourself or go through a broker. There are advantages associated with both options, however, the case for doing the work yourself is strong.
What processes will a bridging loan company take you through?
Applying for a bridging loan is fairly simple, however, to be absolutely sure you have completed it properly, you could ask a bridging loan company to help you. This will help ensure the information is accurate and boost your chances of success.
Will a poor credit rating affect your bridging loan application?
Your bank may have refused you a loan as a result of your poor credit history, however, a bridging loan company will do no such thing provided you meet other criteria, so you should not assume that you have no options when it comes to borrowing.
What makes people opt for bridging loans?
If you need a large amount of money quickly, there are few better options than bridging loans. There are many reasons why people use bridging loans, including more flexible lending criteria and the ability to spend the money on whatever you please.
If you are honest with the information you provide to bridging loan companies and give them everything they ask for, the whole application process should be concluded swiftly. Preparing your application thoroughly will pay dividends in the long run.
Why do people opt for auction bridging finance?
You can secure some attractive properties at auctions and a lack of cash does not have to stop you from acquiring one. Bridging finance is often used to buy houses at auctions, so if you have found a bargain, a bridging loan could help you buy it.
Can bridging loans help with overseas property purchases?
Bridging loans can be used to purchase foreign property as well as homes in the UK, so if you have found a Spanish villa that would make the perfect holiday home, why not submit a bridging loan application to raise the necessary funds quickly?
Will the wider economy affect your chances of getting bridging loans in 2012?
The next 12 months look set to be a testing time for the global economy and this could impact on your ability to obtain a bridging loan. Speaking with an adviser about the best way forward could benefit you and improve your chances of success.
What are the implications of using a bridging loan in the current economic climate?
A bridging loan can be a good solution to short-term funding problems, however, in the current economic climate, it is important to think carefully before taking one out. Speaking to an adviser may help you make the right decision.
Before taking out a bridging loan, there are some important points you need to know and take into consideration. Bridging loans have many benefits but may not be the best solution for everyone, so it is important you understand what they are about.
Is it better to opt for open or closed bridging loans?
There are two main options when it comes to bridging loans – open and closed – and it is important that you understand the differences between them. Each has its own pros and cons, so speaking to an adviser may help you to make an informed decision.
If you are hoping to obtain bridging finance your thoughts could well be preoccupied with what you intend to do with the money. However, instead of rushing out and applying for credit with the first lender you come across, it is important to seek out bridging loan companies with care.
Whether you own a small business or are in charge of a much larger organisation, bridging loans can be an effective financial resource to call upon. By taking out this kind of credit arrangement, your company can access the short-term cash required to meet a range of goals.
Why have bridging loans recently increased in popularity?
Bridging loans have several benefits that a growing number of people are keen to take advantage of, particularly in terms of property transactions. So, just why is this form of finance increasing in popularity in the UK?
Attending an auction can prove a fantastic way for you to purchase properties for significantly less than market value. However, if you have successfully bid on a development, it is vital that you consider how you will actually buy it and this is where bridging finance can come in handy.

Beautiful You: J'adore Paris Day 3 | Aquarium & Laduree!
J'adore Paris Day 3 | Aquarium & Laduree!
Our third day in Paris was a little bit more chilled than the rest because we were all knackered from the day before and the weather was rubbish; it was pouring rain all day. We tried to think of something that we could do that would be inside and we noticed that in the Trocadero area, there was an Aquarium so we decided to head inside. I don't think it was overly expensive for us and and it kept us dry for a couple of hours.
They had many many many different tanks in there and what I love most about the this particular aquarium was that their fish tanks were in loads of different shapes. Some had little sections cut out with tape and then they have a digital screen above which showed us what global warming would do to the fish. Then some of the tanks were up in the ceiling which I have never seen before anywhere else.
The highlight of my day though was when we came across some seats in front of a tank full of sharks so we decided to have a rest and took a seat. After a while load of people started to come and fill up the rest of the seats and we realised there was a talk about to start about the sharks. Only after we had been sat there for an hour listening to a French man talk about sharks in french did we realise that it probably wasn't our wisest idea to stay, me and my step-dad definitely fell asleep!
After we had finished in the Aquarium we realised that we weren't too far away from the Champs de Elysee and my sister really wanted to go to Laduree so we decided to wander there in the pouring rain. I can tell you that it was 100% worth the soaking wet walk there, if you are ever in Paris you have to go because it was delicious!
We were taken to a table upstairs and just walking through the building and seeing all of the authentic decorations was simply beautiful. I ordered a raspberry slice and I cannot portray how delicious it was, the raspberries were really fresh, the cream was so fluffy and now as I sit writing this post I really want another one. Of course we couldn't go to Laduree without getting some macaroons, my sister and I both got a box of six to take away. I chose salted caramel, chocolate, vanilla, maple syrup, raspberry and lemon, these were also SOO YUMMY!
After we had finished our little afternoon snack we explored the Champs de Elysee a little more and went into a few more shops. I had to go back to Sephora because I had bought the wrong lipgloss from Marc Jacobs and obviously if I was spending that amount of money I was definitely getting the right shade.
We then just went back to the hotel on the Metro because we were all pretty much wet through and we wanted to dry off a bit. For dinner that evening we just went to a little cafe near the hotel as we wanted something quick and easy so we could get out of the rain, I only had chicken nuggets and chips but I thoroughly enjoyed it! One of the things I loved the most about eating in France was the fact that they bring you bread all the time and it is amazing.
Later that evening we just went back to the hotel for the night and decided to go to the bar and get a drink because none of us were ready to go to bed just yet! Anyway, that was it for another day in Paris, I hope you enjoyed this post too. Also a little side note if you read my New York travel series, that was almost 1 YEAR AGO?! I literally cannot believe it and I want to go back so badly! I will be back tomorrow for the last installment of my Paris series, comment below if you have enjoyed this travel series!

If you’ve been following my series on Epic:Armageddon, you’ll have at least a passing familiarity with the game–enough so that you can read and enjoy a battle report. To that end, this post describes a great battle fought between Kim and Mark, who pitted a traitorous Planetary Defence Force against the marines of the Space Wolves chapter.
In Epic:Armageddon, the Warhammer 40,000 “fluff” really comes alive. Space Marines, while few in number compared with the teeming billions of the Imperial Guard, nevertheless strike hard and fast, and can take a terrible pounding yet still fight effectively—a skilled commander can use this to surmount seemingly impossible odds. The Guard, meanwhile, bring both large numbers of low-cost troops and some absolutely massive firepower.
For this 3,000-point battle, the Planetary Defence Force (PDF) player applied the Guard’s strengths by fielding a combination of massed infantry (three companies) and some really, really big guns (super-heavies), backed up by cavalry, artillery and air support.
The Space Wolves played to the marines’ strengths by fielding a combined-arms force consisting of a full Battle company, two Scout detachments, Land Raiders, Whirlwinds for short-range artillery support, Bikes, and two Land Speeder detachments. A Thunderhawk gunship completes the army by providing mobility.
Both players placed their objectives. Mark deliberately tried to put his objective markers in the open as Kim’s large formations can be difficult to shift when they’re in cover.
The Space Wolves player garrisoned two Scout detachments very far forward, including one squad with sniper riffles, while Kim garrisoned one formation of Guardsmen forward on her left flank, overlooking the nearby objective.
The Space Wolves followed-up on the assault by moving forward en masse, threatening Kim’s Baneblades and attempting to distract her from the marines in the open by presenting a plethora of targets.
On the far flank, the Scout marines were charged by a formation of Rough Riders. Thanks to their overwatch fire killing the Commissar (and some serious luck), the Scouts managed to draw the initial round of combat. The Scouts then managed to destroy a Rough Rider stand in the resulting follow-up round, eliminating the cavalry’s outnumbering advantage to cling to a draw. A rare third round of combat was then fought, in which the uncannily lucky Scouts managed to wipe out the Rough Riders formation completely.
Mark’s Space Wolves again won the initiative and pressed Kim’s right-hand flank. Land Speeders advanced to fire upon the Baneblades, destroying one with a critical hit, and then provided supporting fire for a formation of Biker marines that engaged the Baneblades. While the Commissar made a good accounting of himself, destroying one Biker stand, the Baneblade crews nevertheless broke under the pressure, leaving the Commissar’s tank as the sole survivor.
Kim’s Shadowswords advanced, wanting a taste of the Land Raiders, but could not find a line of fire, and so had to make do with destroying a stand of marines.
The Space Wolves retaliated by firing upon the not-yet-activated Shadowsword. Having put a blast marker on the super-heavy tank, Mark retained and ordered his Assault marines to engage, and they managed to destroy the Shadowsword in the combat resolution.
The Space Wolves attempted to clear the PDF infantry from the center of the battlefield, while the Biker marines claimed the PDF “blitz” objective and the Whirlwinds combined with the Land Raiders to break the Manticores. Elsewhere, the Land Speeders advanced upon the PDF’s Regimental HQ formation to support in a combined-arms assault against it, but were met by vigorous suppressing fire and all but destroyed–a single broken Land Speeder remained and withdrew.
A PDF infantry company managed to break through the Space Wolves lines, preventing them from claiming the They Shall Not Pass victory condition, and also contested their own “blitz” objective with a formation of Rough Riders. This denied the marines their Blitzkrieg victory condition.
At the end of the third turn, the score was Space Wolves 0, Traitor PDF 0, and so a fourth turn was played.
The traitorous PDF forces–gaining the initiative for the first time–unleashed a rain of fire upon the marines contesting the PDF “blitz” objective, and also managed to destroy one of the nearby Biker stands. Kim successfully retained the initiative to engage the outnumbered Tactical marines with her Rough Riders and showed no mercy, destroying them utterly.
Facing three large infantry formations, things looked dire for the Space Wolves. The success or failure of Mark’s next orders would bring them victory or abject defeat.
Gritting his teeth, the Space Wolves commander ordered the Whirlwinds to open fire upon the nearest infantry company–and got lucky. The Whirlwind bombardment exacted high casualties, and broke the target formation, forcing Kim to withdraw them to the only space she could find that was outside any enemy formation’s 15cm kill-zone.
The remaining Shadowsword opened up upon the Land Raiders, destroying one; the stalwart Land Raider crews returned fire, however, damaging the super-heavy unit.
The Space Wolves Devastator detachment advanced and fired upon the PDF infantry company holding the town in the centre of the table. The Devastator marines performed above-and-beyond, destroying a fistful of PDF infantry stands and breaking the formation.
The PDF infantry found themselves with nowhere to run. With Space Wolves on all sides, there was no place to which Kim could withdraw the formation, and so they all perished in the crossfire.
Now the Space Wolves commander saw an opportunity for victory. The last remaining Land Speeder had rallied at the end of the previous turn, and so he ordered it to advance to claim an undefended objective. Similarly, the sole surviving Assault marines stand had also rallied, and so was able to capture another undefended objective.
The combination of objectives held gave the Space Wolves both the Take and Hold and Defend The Flag victory conditions, making the final score Space Wolves 2, Traitor PDF 0.
Special thanks to Mark Logue, not only for playing the original game with Kim, but also for providing these great images of his miniatures in action.
~Bigred here. As usual, lets give it up for GR00V3R for continuing to crank out these Epic pieces. I can almost feel the tension in the air for the upcoming article covering titans. Have at it guys.

Lately I’ve been working with my teachers, getting into a bit more of the depth of the chant Om Namah Shivaya.
I’m really getting into it.
Because, this chant sort of represents to me my life lesson (well one of them).
To honour, respect, bow to, our inner knowing. The part of us, deep in our bones and tissues, that signals to us the right thing to do. To “…honour my highest”. I really love these words. To bow to, to respect, honour. They are weighty and soft words. They are the words that help me to turn in, to take a moment, a breath, before I decide what the right course of action is, if any.
After my mum passed away last year, suddenly from Cancer I felt a surge of “shoulds”. They came from every which way, from myself to myself, from my circle.
Honestly. I got a bit pissed off with all these “shoulds”. Other peoples expectations and visions of what I should or should not be doing. Mostly they expected action, and mostly I wanted inaction. I wanted to retreat in, to listen to what my highest was telling me.
I can’t say its stopped, because I don’t think that others opinions will always resonate with me and my path.
But I can sniff a “should” a mile away…well not really but I’m learning.
Take your highest path. Honour it, bow to it, respect it. You “should”. Ha!

It's a little difficult for a Californian – used to driving everywhere on paved roads – to take his car off road. At least this Californian. But that's exactly what you have to do to get to Goblin Valley State Park. Seven miles of washboard dirt road, no less. But at the base of Wild Horse Butte can be seen oddest collection of geologic formations imaginable.
Time and the elements have done strange things to the sandstone here. You need drive only a short distance through the park before your imagination takes hold, and you begin to see faces staring out at you from the cliffs. Bizarre, misshapen faces. Twisted, contorted, distorted faces.
We had never heard of Goblin Valley until a hotel clerk in Torrey (just west of Capital Reef) mentioned it in passing during our previous trip. Even then we really didn't make much note of it. But as we were driving along State Route 24, we came across Molly's Castle, a little outcropping along the side of the road. Not far beyond that was the road down to Goblin Valley. So we decided to check the place out.
This time, we knew we had to go back.
In the back of the park, past the Three Brothers (what we named "The Goblin King and his Entourage" last time) lays the Valley of Goblins, a large shallow bowl of a valley where literally thousands of these goblins haunt.
During the day time, it's a children's playground, with the young of heart (of all ages!) to be found climbing on, under and around the goblins. Navigating the mazes, climbing the walls, exploring the hidden passages beneath the "goblin feet". All across the entire valley of goblins.
I'm told, though, that at as the sun sets, it's another place altogether.

Today is our wedding day. Josh and I are so excited to be joined together at husband and wife. We hope that if you can't be there with us today that you will keep us in your hearts as we announce our love and pledge our vows for one another.
Pictures of the rehearsal as well as the ceremony will be forth coming.
We have been busy bees preparing for the wedding day!
This is the front and back of the program. The announcement is obviously the front and the scripture is the back.
This is the inside with the bridal party and the ceremony details.
We are putting things together for Friday as we are setting up the reception hall the afternoon before the wedding. We have several tubs full of decorations, center pieces, and favors. We are going to manage to put the reception hall together in two hours and then make it to the Church for the rehearsal.
Besides preparing for the big day Josh and I each had our respective bachelor/bachelorette parties this last weekend.
I had my party and Dave and Busters. There were about 8 of us total. We snacked, drank, and played games until they closed.
We each had a great last weekend as "single" people.
Now we are working as hard as we can to finish up our respective college courses so that we can be stress free on our honeymoon.
It's hard to believe that in 3 days we will be husband and wife finally. It's such a joyous occasion that we are both looking forward to. We are so happy to be celebrating it in our church with our family and friends and to have the opportunity to see so many loved ones at once while we express our love for each other.

During the past decades independent regulatory agencies (IRAs) have become ubiquitous in policy areas from telecommunication and transport to financial markets, health care, education and food safety. IRAs are now the standard institutional framework for policy-making in these and many other policy fields.
One of the alleged benefits of IRAs is that they are placed outside the traditional state bureaucracy and their day-to-day operation is therefore less prone to interference from political office-holders. However, in my recent research I show that the creation and operation of IRAs are very much shaped by political pressures. Yet I also demonstrate that higher levels of formal independence can make interference from elected officials less likely.
First, ideologically extreme governments are more likely to establish IRAs than centrist ones. The graph below shows how the probability of an agency being created increases over time (since agencies are at some point created in almost all of the policy domains and countries observed). Importantly, the black line (right-wing cabinets) and the dark grey line (left-wing cabinets) go up faster than the light grey line (centrist cabinets). One plausible interpretation of this result is that more extreme governments have more to lose when they are replaced, because it is likely that an alternative government will have quite different preferences. Extreme governments therefore have more incentives to institutionally protect their policy decisions by establishing an IRA.
Second, it turns out that right-wing governments are more likely to create IRAs in economic than in social domains. As the figure below shows, under right-wing governments (black line) the probability of an economic regulator being created increases much faster over time than that of a social regulator being established. For left-wing cabinets (grey line) the two probabilities are quite similar. One possible explanation for this finding is that the usual policy tasks of economic regulators (promoting competition, ensuring the functioning of markets) are of higher priority for right-wing parties than the typical duties of social regulators (environmental protection, consumer protection, product safety).
The second paper is forthcoming in Comparative Political Studies (ungated here) and looks at the influence political parties have on the careers of agency CEOs – one of the most important channels of influence, especially when agencies are not bound directly by the instructions of government ministers. More specifically, the paper examines whether the party affiliation of agency CEOs and the formal independence of an agency have an impact on the CEOs’ survival in office. The careers of about 300 agency CEOs in 16 West European countries are examined for the period from 2000 to 2013. Information on party affiliation was coded from the CVs of agency CEOs. Formal independence is measured through an index developed by Fabrizio Gilardi (see his 2008 book ‘Delegation in the regulatory state: independent regulatory agencies in Western Europe’) and takes into account appointment and removal procedures of the agency management, term lengths and term limits, and whether terms are renewable.
The baseline expectation is that CEOs with a party affiliation survive longer as long as their party is in government, but are more vulnerable when their party is in opposition. A first glance at the data seems to confirm this assumption. In the figure below, the probability of surviving is depicted as a function of time. Opposition-affiliated CEOs (dark grey line) have a consistently lower probability of staying in office compared with their government-affiliated (black) and nonpartisan (light grey) colleagues.
Interestingly, however, further analysis shows that this ‘opposition penalty’ varies considerably with the formal independence of an agency. In highly independent agencies there is no difference in how long opposition-affiliated and other CEOs stay in office. By contrast, the opposition penalty is substantial in agencies with low levels of formal independence.
These results demonstrate how party politics and institutional factors interact in shaping regulatory politics in Western Europe. Even though many agencies enjoy some formal protection from direct political interference, IRAs are – as all public institutions – political creations that operate in a highly political environment.
As we move from the agencies with the lowest level of independence (Q1) to those with the highest (Q5), the share of government-affiliated appointees (light grey bars) rises from 14 to 35 percent. A smaller increase happens for opposition-affiliated appointees (dark grey bars): from 6 to 13 percent. As these figures make clear, politicians respond strategically to the loss of formal control brought about by the rise of IRAs. While a high level of formal independence thus awards an agency some protection against political interference, it also invites politicization of appointments made to the agency management.
Taken together, this research shows that regulatory agencies are fundamentally political organizations whose creation and operation does not happen in a neutral environment where efficiency and expertise are the only relevant parameters. Even though political influence may often be subtle and indirect, it would be naïve for researchers and practitioners of regulatory policy to disregard it.

It was kind of amazing for me really. I've been somewhat "not myself" over the past few weeks and months, and while things have vastly improved, I had experience to get some rather raw feedback from a colleague on Monday who basically kicked me in my behind. The message was something along the lines of (my words, not theirs) "people rely on you to make decisions and make things happen, and over the past few weeks you haven't been doing that too well". Now I'm probably exaggerating the extent of some of my failings, but the message was clear: I wasn't myself and it was harming more than just my own innards. Probably the more revealing part for me was the fact that people actually do rely on me. I never really thought of myself that way. Sure, I know that, for example, my daughters rely on me to some extent, but people at work? Anyway, pretty much from the moment I receive that rather candid assessment I decided that the exile to my own private Elba had to end.
Along those same lines, a very senior leader in the office with whom I've had to work with on an issue recently sent me the following in an email: "...take care of yourself. There are a lot of people who need you to do that all around you.... ". Again, I guess I never really thought of myself as being someone who people actually relied on and needed, at least not professionally. The person who wrote that to me didn't have to...they have tons of responsibility and little time for encouraging me...but never the less it must have been pretty apparent that I needed the lift.
The moral in all of this? I guess in part it's the fact that you never really do understand how people perceive you until you stop being that person, even if it's for a short period of time. Who you are...who I am...somehow matters in some strange sort cosmic of way. I'm sure that this spate of life's challenges will throw more monkey wrenches my way, but at least now I have the benefit of some outside perspective.
PS...As you can tell I am a very big Ralph Steadman fan, which is something of a requirement for just about anyone who has ever seriously read Hunter S. Thompson. One of these days I have to get something of his framed. I do have lots of wall space to decorate.

At Crowle Primary Academy we are big believers in the importance of sport and are aware of the great impact it can have on children's lives. We continue to work closely with our cluster schools and The Get Ahead Sports Partnership to develop and deliver high quality sports and competition within our school.
All children receive 2 hours of PE teaching per week. In addition to this we try to encourage children to be as active as possible and achieve the minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day. We do this through daily wake and shake routines, skipping and our morning run! We also encourage active playtimes and lunchtimes. To support with this, we have four Sports Ambassadors from Year 6: Sam, Mckenzie, Molly and Holly and we also have 20 chosen Sports Leaders from Key Stage 2 who are developing their sports leadership skills. They have all received 2 days of training and they are gaining in confidence in the delivery of games at lunchtimes, supported by lunchtime supervisors and Carrie. They are responsible for organising games on both of our playgrounds and for setting up the equipment they need.
Each term we aim to enter many inter school competitions and where possible also include B and C teams. We have had much success over the years and our children always represent the academy as great sportsmen.
Our commitment and dedication to sport has seen us achieve the Sainsbury's school Games Mark gold award for the past 3 years.

Predicting the magnitude of any increase in nutrient loads on surface water and groundwater resources under future irrigation scenarios is a complex matter that necessarily relies on modelling approaches to simplify and approximate the key elements of the catchment(s). Our water quality assessment for the proposed Hunter Downs Irrigation Scheme (HDIS) in New Zealand utilised a mass mixing model to predict nitrate concentrations within groundwater (and surface water) individual catchments. This approach was selected due to the hydrogeology of the scheme area, which is characterised by poorly draining downland hill country intersected by permeable alluvial gravel aquifers which are interconnected with intermittent or perennial streams. This approach requires a robust understanding of the current hydrology, hydrogeology, existing and proposed landuse distribution and associated nutrient concentrations in soil drainage water. Our modelling was calibrated by comparing the output of the existing landuse simulations with the available current day groundwater and surface water quality data, providing further confidence in the modelling output. The approach also allowed the effects of different landuse scenarios and management processes to be considered. The modelled effects on water quality varied across the scheme area due to differences in existing landuse and interactions between groundwater and surface water that affected the dilution of irrigation drainage. The predicted changes in nutrient concentrations for each catchment were used to assess the risk of increased algae blooms in rivers and coastal lagoon that is of significant ecological and cultural value to the local indigenous Maori people. In this paper we show how the use of a mass mixing model has provided a realistic basis for quantifying the potential adverse effects of irrigation on groundwater and surface water quality, and evaluating the potential effectiveness of mitigation measures such as nitrification inhibitors. Keywords: nutrients, assessment of environmental effects, surface water, groundwater, modelling, New Zealand.

Storage Guardian makes it easy to migrate from backup tapes to reliable online backups. Our online backup software recognizes VERITAS Backup Exec and Microsoft Tape Format, and converts them into a Backup Lifecycle Management archive package, which can then be integrated into an online, tiered-storage system.
Our tiered-storage approach automatically selects the most cost-effective online storage strategy and makes all data instantly accessible to you.
If you suffer a catastrophic server failure and need a major data restore, convenience and flexibility are two of the most crucial considerations. Storage Guardian offers the ability to perform a "bare metal restore" to a completely different computer, saving you time and getting you back up and running as soon as possible. Tape backup solutions are often not as rapid or reliable.
To save even more time, the initial backup is performed on an external drive that is shipped to Storage Guardian. Similarly, if you need a major restore of a large amount of data, Storage Guardian can overnight an external drive to you containing the restore data.
Storage Guardian's ultra-secure online backup technology uses AES 256-bit encryption plus hardware authentication. Tape backup solutions are often not encrypted, and the tapes themselves can be susceptible to theft or loss.
Storage Guardian can also backup and restore individual mailboxes and contacts from MS Exchange and Outlook.
There is absolutely NO hardware cost to you; we provide everything you'll need for a smooth transition. By contrast, tape backup hardware costs money to purchase and maintain.
The security of your data is important, so we do de-duplication and encryption before we send data off-site.
Tape backup solutions were useful in the past, but the future of data backup and recovery is Storage Guardian. Let us help you backup and restore your crucial business data affordably, reliably and securely.

Feelings: A.B. Biagi brings tasty Italian gelato to Nolita by way of Mr. Biagi's home, Sao Paolo, Brazil. Until now, it was always difficult to find a decent gelato shop in the area unless you head to West Village or Lower East Side. But thanks to this cute and crafty A.B, Biagi, local shoppers and tourists can all enjoy this authentic Italian treat in the heart of Soho.
The gelato is made in premise in a small kitchen in the back. They cover all Italian classics like hazelnut and pistachio, but there are definite Brazilian influences here. Passion fruit, acai, bergamot, herbs and lighter notes of the sweet delights can also be found in this bright yellow shop.
The texture of the Chocolate with Tonka gelato (small $4.75) is smooth and creamy. The rich chocolate was complimented by the 'cinnamon-y' hint of the Tonka beans. It is literally as if eating a chunk of high quality chocolate in a form of luscious gelato. Decadent vegan peanut butter is also available for vegans or anyone who enjoys peanut butter.
Best ingredients, lovely customer service, perfect location-- what else can you ask for? Enjoy a scoop of their scrumptious, creamy treat is perfect even in 40 degree weather!

If yours is a multi-cat household, you may be all too familiar with kitty spats and scraps, squabbles and skirmishes. The origin of these feline fights rests firmly at the paws of the so-called “alpha cat”, the one who automatically seeks the highest spot in your home, demands to be fed first and will, at times, mark her territory.
Fortunately, most battles between cats are mock battles. Careful observation of and familiarity with their body language will enable you to differentiate between kitty playing and kitty fighting. The key indicators are their tails, their ears and their eyes, and where their bodies are in relation to the ground.
The first rule of refereeing a feline free-for-all? Never step in between two sparring spitfires. Since they’re focused solely on one another -- not on you – with their stress pheromones at peak levels, you run the risk of being scratched or bitten.
Some cat behaviorists suggest making a sudden, loud noise from a concealed corner by either clapping your hands or banging on a pan. This will startle the cats, and in all likelihood, make them separate and scatter. Another tactic is to toss something soft -- a pillow, for example – from a hidden spot to an area slightly removed from the squabble. Once again, this distraction may be sufficient to successfully end their dispute.
Others suggest setting a kitchen chair between the two combatants without hurting them. Although this takes patience and a gentle touch, it will startle the two feisty fighters and they will back away from each other. Take advantage of this “opening” and use a broom to guide one of them into another room and close the door.
Let some time pass, then slowly enter the room and studiously ignore the banished battler as you place a bowl of food, a bowl of water, and a litter pan on the floor. Then exit swiftly. Check in on her awhile later. Only when she’s grooming herself or calmly eating should you assume it’s safe to approach her.
The second rule of refereeing? Never use a spray bottle filled with water as a way of stopping two truly fighting felines. So engrossed are they in their battle that a spritz or a stream of cold water won’t even start to cool them down. It may even have the opposite effect: frightening them and only making matters worse.
The third rule of referring? Never shout or scream in an effort to break up a full-blown cat fight. Because cats are highly sensitive creatures and react swiftly to their owners’ stress level, your anxiety and tension will only accelerate, not diminish, their own. Remaining calm in the face of their turbulence tends to work best.
Easier said than done? Not necessarily. Practice makes purr-fect.
Emergency Expenses: Ready or Not?
Every cat guardian’s worst nightmare is a serious illness or medical emergency and inadequate funds to cover it.
With veterinary bills ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, what’s a caring but cash-strapped owner to do?
If paws-ible, don’t panic. Instead, be prepared. Plan ahead.
The easiest first step is to open an “emergency expenses” savings account even BEFORE your chosen companion puts one paw inside your home. Decide on a given amount to be set aside – whether daily or weekly – and build it into your budget. Example: By setting aside only $10 a week, you’ll save $520 a year. Within two years, you’ll have saved enough money to cover most medical procedures. But should your kitty need a sudden and more costly procedure, you’re more likely to receive help from others when they know that YOU’RE paying most of the bill.
A second option is purchasing pet insurance. An increasing number of insurance companies now offer specific plans for pets, ranging from the most basic to the most inclusive with monthly premiums to match each plan. Caution: Make certain to “read the fine print” and to learn whether or not the company will work with the vet of your choice.
For those unable to either save in advance or purchase pet insurance, being faced with the possibility of a medical bill they can’t pay is devastating. And this, sadly, is one of the reasons so many much-loved pets are euthanized. But there are solutions.
1. Speak with your vet and discuss the arrangement of a payment schedule until the bill is paid in full. Many vets do offer payment plans to their regular and trusted clients.
2. Contact local animal rescue organizations and ask for the names of any low-cost veterinary clinics they might know.
3. Many veterinary schools offer medical services at discounted rates, and if you live near a college or university, contact them to see if they have just such a program.
4. If it’s feasible, apply for a line of credit from your bank. There are also reputable companies that offer loans to help cover medical emergencies, including those of pets. (Note: Interest is charged in both cases and rates will vary).
5. Ask your family members and friends for help.
6. Use one of the more popular online fundraising platforms and start your own fundraiser, bearing in mind that the more people you reach in your own social, work and community circles, and the more original you are in drawing attention to your plight, the greater your chances of success.
7. Apply for financial assistance from the specific funds, charities and pet assistance organizations across the country. While their organizations’ budgets are limited and their grants small, your chances of getting help increase if you’re disabled, a senior or a veteran, or are living solely on pensions or on a low, fixed income.
Although frightened felines may lash out at a person for a variety of reasons, there ARE advance warning signs before the actual attack: from widely opened eyes and dilated pupils, flattened ears and lashing tails to agitated meows, growls and snarls and hissing, even spitting.
Timid cats may be fearful of almost everything: from perceived threats to sudden movements or sounds. Some may have suffered a traumatic incident in the past that will trigger their fear response now. This form of aggression is also their instinctive reaction to punishment, particularly physical punishment – a warning to frustrated feline fanciers to NEVER punish their pets as a way of changing any unacceptable behaviors.
Whatever the original trigger, cats incapable of retaliating against the actual source of it (e.g. their instinct to hunt being thwarted by viewing a squirrel outside their window) may, instead, redirect their pent-up aggression at their owners, other cats or other pets in the household.
Cats in pain may also be confused and frightened, lashing out in their distress at anyone trying, with the best of intentions, to comfort them – particularly if their pain isn’t either obvious or visible.
Some cats have a time limit on being petted, going from purring to clawing or biting before their owners can say “ouch!” Whether due to their early socialization with people or their genetic disposition, they become over stimulated and feel threatened when stroked for too long.
Cats may become aggressive when they’re ill. Perceptive pet parents can “read” their kitties best, and any changes in behavior or any gradual or sudden onset of unprovoked violence should prompt a prompt consultation with their vet.
Stress is quite often the cause of many cats’ behavioral problems -- including aggression towards people -- and is usually related to changes in their environment. While reactions vary from one cat to another, identifying the root of the problem and then either reducing or removing it may make all the difference in their topsy-turvy world and restore their kitty equilibrium.
If, however, matters worsen, it’s essential for concerned cat guardians to consult a professional: an expert in cat behavior, preferably one recommended by their trusted vet. Working together, the vet may recommend drug therapy as a means of dealing with their aggressive cat (even when illness isn’t the issue), in conjunction with the behavioral treatment program designed by the behaviorist.

Star Wars Battlefront preview: it looks beautiful, but will it be fun?
If it weren’t for the telltale shimmer of aliasing, I’d swear the dense foliage of the forest moon of Endor was real. In the opening moments of DICE’s Star Wars Battlefront demo, the camera peacefully pans down from the forest canopy to the verdant underbrush, and even though this is pre-alpha footage (running on a PlayStation 4, no less), it looks incredible. It looks like Endor. The Frostbite engine is just showing off. I get it. It has all of the graphics, and those infinite graphics are being used to render Star Wars—specifically classic, original trilogy Star Wars—with as much faithful detail as possible.
Then the action starts. A blaster and minimalist HUD appears on screen and we’re running across Endor in first-person, blasting stormtroopers off speeder bikes (the speeders explode in fiery flashes), blasting stormtroopers in the face, and watching other Rebel troops eat lasers in return. An AT-ST shows up, and another Rebel trooper uses a jetpack to rocket off the ground and blow up its cockpit with a rocket launcher.
There’s no aim-down-sights to be found in first-person, just a reticule in the center of the screen that feels more like classic Battlefront than DICE’s Battlefield. At one point, the trooper picks up a heavy duty sniper blaster and scopes in. At another point, he switches from first-person view to third-person and runs around hip-firing his blaster rifle. Like Battlefront 2, this game will allow for switching between first-person and third-person at any time.
The AT-ST's just the small fry. Soon an AT-AT is pushing its way through the forest, towering above the petty ground skirmishes below. It looks as lumbering and heavy and imposing as an AT-AT should as our star Rebel trooper dashes between its legs. As DICE will later explain, this is a demo of a new mode called Walker Assault, which will support Battlefront’s largest player count with 40 players. Other maps and modes will support smaller player counts, down to as few as eight players.
As the biggest mode (or possibly one of several modes to support 40 players—DICE wouldn’t say), Walker Assault mixes together all of Battlefront’s main ingredients. Some players will shoot it out on the ground while others dogfight in X-Wings and TIE Fighters in the skies above. The demo hints at some objectives or at least interactive elements to the mode. To destroy the looming AT-AT, our star Rebel trooper interacts with a small satellite uplink to call in a flight of Y-Wing bombers. He has to sit on the uplink spot for a few moments, like capturing a control point in Battlefield, before successfully calling in the Y-Wing strike. Barely visible through the forest canopy, those AI-controlled Y-Wings drop an explosive payload on top of the AT-AT, which sags to its knees and collapses after its cockpit explodes.
The demo ends with the Rebel trooper entering an Imperial bunker (think the shield generator in Return of the Jedi), only to watch his comrade levitate off the ground, choking, before being tossed to the side like a doll. There’s some familiar breathing. Mechanical. Ominous. Of course it’s Darth Vader. Of course he bats aside blaster bolts with his lightsaber as he walks towards the camera. And then...well, our Rebel trooper is probably in for a respawn.
That’s just my guess, because DICE’s Battlefront demo doesn’t offer a complete picture of what the game is actually like to play. I didn’t see how you spawn in, or the loadout screen for choosing weapon loadouts. DICE told me that it’s eschewed a distinct class system in favor of more general customization options—players will be able to choose what weapons they take into battle, including different types of blasters and secondary weapons. In the demo, I saw thermal detonators (that’s Star Wars for grenade) and a consumable shield generator that protected rebel troopers with a shimmery blue bubble of energy.
DICE said customization will also extend to abilities, and as you may have guessed from Darth Vader’s appearance, hero characters are most definitely back. DICE confirmed Vader and Boba Fett are both playable, but didn’t specify how they’ll be selectable—whether, like in Battlefront 2, you’ll have to achieve a set goal before spawning in as a hero.
The whole demo felt scripted, following a fixed narrative path through a battle: Kill these Stormtroopers! Listen to these audio callouts from your teammates! Watch this AT-ST explode! Run beneath the AT-AT’s legs! It’s common for press demos, and it’s exciting, but it doesn’t quite capture the scope or mayhem I expect from a real 40-player Battlefront match. It’s too clean and idealized, more flash than fun.
DICE didn’t want to talk much about gameplay modes or features, though it did mention the Partner system, which works a bit like squads in Battlefield. Players can choose one Partner to always be able to see in-game, and always be able to spawn next to. But more importantly, you’ll be able to share item/weapon unlocks with your partner. Battlefront definitely has some kind of progression system for unlocking new weapons, and your partner will be able to use anything you’ve unlocked, even if they’re a lower level.
For this reveal event, EA was focused on showcasing the lengths DICE went to to slavishly recreate the look of the original Star Wars films. They went to Skywalker Ranch to study classic concept art, models, and props, and they used the process of photogrammetry to photograph and “scan” the real physical objects into 3D models. The Stormtrooper models are derived from original costumes. Admiral Ackbar (yep, he’s in the game) is modeled straight from the original mask. X-Wings and the Millenium Falcon (yep, the Falcon’s in the game too) are 3D modeled from photos of the real scale models from the Lucas archives.
The end result looks about as incredible as you’d expect. DICE is shooting for that same degree of authenticity with Battlefront’s maps, which will be set on Tattooine, Endor, Hoth, and Sullust. Those four planets seem to be the only locations Battlefront will launch with on November 17, though DICE is planning a free DLC pack called The Battle of Jakku, which is a climactic battle between the Rebels and the Empire shortly after Return of the Jedi. If you’ve seen the new Force Awakens trailer, that crashed Star Destroyer and other debris are from the battle. That DLC will be available on December 8th, 10 days before The Force Awakens hits theaters (or on December 1st, if you pre-order). When I asked if we’d be going into space, DICE told me it was focused on “epic planetary battles,” which was a tactically polite way to say no.
For this Star Wars fan, the Battle of Jakku is exciting, because it’s the only thing I heard about DICE’s Battlefront that’s new. I love the Battle of Hoth, and the forest moon of Endor, and Tatooine, but I’ve been on those worlds in every Star Wars game I’ve played for the past 20 years. I’ve tow-cabled enough AT-ATs to last a lifetime. I’ve never tow-cabled an AT-AT that looks as good as these, or seen a speeder bike explode in such a lush representation of Endor. DICE’s focus on authenticity looks like it will result in a beautiful game, and the most accurate representation of the original Star Wars trilogy we’ve seen since the movies themselves. But one of the best things about the old Battlefront games was not slavishly adhering to the movies. They went to Kashyyyk and Yavin 4 and Coruscant and inside Star Destroyers, locations that did appear in the films, but they took liberties to create fun play spaces. Star Wars won’t lose its identity the second you step off of Hoth or Tatooine.
DICE has proven that it knows how to make something that looks and sounds just like Star Wars, but I still have little idea how Battlefront will play. Aiming looks very different than Battlefield, but what about movement? What about dogfighting? What about hero characters? What about the gameplay modes DICE won’t talk about? How will the asymmetry of the Rebels and Imperials tie into those modes?
Six months out from release, EA certainly could’ve shown us what a real match of Battlefront looks like. Maybe it would be a little messy, a little rough around the edges, but it would be real—and it would probably be fun. Instead, we’re left guessing at what Battlefront will really feel like to play and how well it will truly stand apart from Battlefield. We’re left guessing at most everything, really—except for the fact that it sure does look good.

The first crack in the edifice of classical physics came with attempts to explain the colour of hot objects using classical physics and electromagnetism. The light from these objects is a mixture of different frequencies (colours). Observations reveal that such objects have a distinctive spectrum (pattern of energy distribution at different frequencies). However attempts to explain this in classical terms failed abjectly - they predicted instead that the amount of energy would tend towards infinity at the high-energy (violet) end of the spectrum - an ultraviolet catastrophe.
Enter Max Planck. In 1900 he suggested that physics should abandon the assumption that electromagnetic energy is continuous and wavelike. If, instead, energy can only be absorbed and emitted in discrete packets (or quanta), theory can be made to fit observations exactly. However, while his suggestion certainly gave the right answer, its abandonment of a cherished assumption of classical physics gave it an air of contrivance that led to its relative neglect for several years.

The classic comedy duo Laurel and Hardy appeared "in person" at the Shubert Theater in 1942. The laughter continues with the Laurel and Hardy convention in town this week.
The last time comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were in Cincinnati was for an appearance at the Shubert Theater in 1942.
This week, Laurel and Hardy have come back in spirit as their fans congregate for the 21st International Sons of the Desert Convention at Downtown's Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza.
Sons of the Desert is the Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, founded in 1965 and named for the lodge in their 1933 feature, “Sons of the Desert.” There are 134 “tents” across 12 countries.
The convention brings together about 200 fans from as far away as Belgium and New Zealand to share in the mutual love of the life and films of Laurel and Hardy.
“I consider us ‘buffs,’ people having a connoisseur-like affection for Laurel and Hardy, and being discriminating in that affection, with fun as our goal and operative guide,” said the late John McCabe, Laurel and Hardy biographer and co-founder of Sons of the Desert.
Disclosure: I am “grand sheik” of the Chimp Tent, the Cincinnati chapter of Sons of the Desert, and I am on the committee that is hosting the convention, which is no longer accepting registrations.
My love of Laurel and Hardy goes back to my childhood. My grandfather had some of their movies on Super 8 film reels, and I recall watching the boys mixed up in another nice mess breaking Model T’s and struggling to deliver a piano up a million steps. I even dressed up as Stan for Halloween in the fourth grade — this was in the 1980s, mind you.
Stan's goofy grin and Ollie’s tie twiddle continue to delight as I share their films with my daughter, passing on a family tradition.
The classic comedy duo is still recognized the world over just by their profile — one fat, one skinny, in matching bowler hats.
Laurel and Hardy teamed up in 1927 and starred together in 106 films, including “Way Out West,” “Big Business” and the Oscar-winning short “The Music Box.” They were among the few acts to find success in both silent and sound pictures.
The comedians appeared “in person” at the Shubert in a revue from Jan. 30 to Feb. 5, 1942, as part of their “Hell-a-Belloo” U.S. tour. They performed a sketch involving “a series of misunderstandings about an application for an auto license,” and closed with “a silly song by Laurel,” reported Enquirer critic E.B. Radcliffe.
According to newspaper reports, Laurel and Hardy stayed at the Netherland Plaza, and Laurel went bowling at Central Alleys on Eighth and Walnut streets (the current site of the Main Library). The Shubert, a block away at Seventh and Walnut streets, was torn down in 1976.
That was the comedy team’s first appearance in Cincinnati, but not Laurel’s.
Laurel had been part of Fred Karno’s Comedy Company, an English troupe that toured America starting in 1910, including three visits in 1911 and 1912 at the Empress Theater at 816 Vine St. (now also part of the Main Library site).
An Empress playbill for the week of Feb. 26, 1911, lists Karno’s troupe presenting “A Night in an English Music Hall,” starring a young Charlie Chaplin. Laurel, then known as Stan Jefferson, was listed as one of the Village Choir Singers and was also Chaplin’s understudy.
The venues may be gone and the comedians have passed away, but if you go by the Netherland this week, you’ll still hear the laughter.

Arsenal have been linked to a number of new signings this summer from Benzema to Vidal (with Johnny Evans along the way), but is there really space in the squad for a score of new arrivals? Playing Football Manager and being a football manager are two completely different things; regular summer squad redesigns are an incredibly fun part of the game, but the upheaval they cause rarely bodes well in the real world- just ask Liverpool and Tottenham. Arsenal fans, and the media, have been crying out for new signings but let us not forget that despite a raft of injuries we have a team that came very close to challenging Chelsea for the league last season and a settled, connected squad can reap more benefits than a disjointed collection of individuals that require time to settle in and gel with each other. With that in mind, if we analyse the current squad it would seem unlikely that Arsenal will make more than one or two new signings, but that information isn’t particularly likely to sell many newspapers, earn new twitter followers or get extra website hits.
First off, it’s important to understand the squad regulations that apply to the Premier League and Champions’ League. Both permit a maximum of 25 players to be registered, 8 of which must be association trained (have spent 3 or more years from the age of 15 to 21 training at a club from the same association as us), and for our Champions’ League squad at least 4 of these players have to have specifically trained at Arsenal. Players aged 21 or younger on the 1st January 2016 do not have to be registered for the Premiership, but need to have been with the club for 2 or more years to be included on the Champions’ League “B-list”: a list of players that can be registered for the competition without taking up one of the 25 permitted births.
In terms of meeting the “home grown quotas” there’s nothing to worry about, but all 25 spaces are currently occupied. In midfield Rosicky and Flamini would seem most in danger of losing their places, but Wenger has already discussed Rosicky’s fitness in relation to the upcoming season, and if he was going to release Flamini one might expect that he would already have done so when Diaby’s Arsenal career came to an end, indicating that both are probably in his mind for this season. Reine-Adelaide could be left out for the Champions’ League and still be eligible to play in the Premiership by virtue of him being only 17, but early indications are that he is part of Wenger’s plans. Four Goalkeepers, however, is an unnecessary luxury and Ospina is the most likely to depart, meaning that there will probably be one space freed up.
Looking at the balance of the current squad, and with only one space available, a move for a midfielder is highly unlikely. Cazorla, Coquelin, Wilshere and Ramsey are established first team players, Arteta has just signed a new deal, and Flamini and Rosicky will most likely remain for one final year, allowing the likes of Gnabry, Zelalem, Crowley and Bielik time and room to develop. Given Wenger’s tradition of developing young players he is unlikely to want to stunt their chances or disrupt the stability of the squad by signing someone like Vidal. The most probable addition would therefore appear to be a forward.
Pedro, Higuain, Benzema and Lacazette have all been mooted as possibilities, but my money would be on the latter as he would offer direct competition to Giroud and could also fill one of the wide positions if necessary. Pedro, meanwhile, is being courted by half of Europe, Napoli seemingly want a small fortune for Higuain, and there are as yet no indications that Real will be willing to let go of Benzema, who is one of president Perez’s favourites.
Alternatively, with Giroud, Walcott and Welbeck all able to play through the middle there’s a chance that rather than an out and out striker we may see a new wide player come in, particularly if you consider that Oxlade-Chamberlain’s future may well lie in midfield. Lorenzo Insigne could therefore be considered as a possible alternative and outside bet. Importantly, and perhaps tellingly, Insigne appears to be pushing for a move and can play on either wing or centrally, but with two goals in 28 appearances last season compared to Lacazette’s 31 in 38 the Frenchman must surely be considered superior.
During a recent interview, however, Wenger stated his intent to get the current squad fit before looking to add one or two quality additions. At this stage then, and given all that has come before, would anyone really be surprised were no new signings to materialise? And more to the point, do we actually need any?
This entry was posted in Arsenal Debate, Arsenal News, Arsenal NewsNow and tagged Flamini, lacazette, Rosicky on July 14, 2015 by Admin.
Apparently, silva is going on loan to an english club. He signed a new deal, both championship and premier league clubs were interested.
I do love a new signing but unlike recent years we don’t desperately need one. I honestly think alternating between giroud and walcott for different opposition is sufficient and combined will be that 30 goal a year striker we’re all craving.
Also, it frustrates me how oxlsde chamberlain is never included in people line ups, i genuinely think he’s one of our best players and he’ll cement his position in the team if there are no new RW additions that hinder his progress.
Aha i made it ages ago, i should probably change it.
Chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim giroud, who needs van persie when we have giroud!
By considering wenger’s statement about not going for sterling because he’s a wide man, and we have ox sanc theo danny, one can conclude we will not be going for wingers, but striker. As he mention theo as a winger too.
I can see the pattern of the summer 2 years ago.
We missed out Gustavo (Bayern asked 17M), Cabaye (we offered 10M, Newcastle asked 20M) and we signed Flamini on the free. Wenger did want a good DM/CM that year but he does not want to take a big dent on his transfer budget so he can capture a top top player – Ozil.
Bastian Schweinsteiger 275k/week wage, and Scheiderlein/Kondogbia 24-29M asking price is considered a luxury for Wenger who as usual trust his own player (Coquelin). I may not agree with him all the time – but I agree with him this one and at least more than half of the Gooners that Coquelin is a top class DM and we need someone to cover/compete with him rather than bench him.
Totally agree, giroud gets a hard time but he missed 3 months last year, and finished 7th top scorer, of those above him, only sanchez and costa are not their clubs pen taker. I believe him having theo to rotate with will be ideal (although i think theo is the best option) i believe both can get at least 30 between them, if theo stays fit.
Reus to arsenal. You heard it here first.
Come on, pal. Don’t be greedy!!! Pass me that stuff too.
hahahahahahaha! right on point there KickAssFan!
Szziurp. i need all of it for myself.
take one sip and u will think lewa, reus, suarez and mascherano will all join arsenal this summer. great feeling!
Stay away from weed mate, not good for your health..and if you must do weed remove the seeds first.. Don’t get me wrong I also crave for this guy in an Arsenal shirt but he just signed a long contract a while ago.. If he was set on leaving he would not have signed..my opinion..
If man u sign Cavani or Lewandowski and chelsea get Pe dro Wenger will say they have signed top top top top top quality players!
Not really a squad that can strike fear. Ideally….Walcott and Oxlade must step up and be fit also for nearly the entire campaign, a ST/CF to replace Giroud in the first team, sign a quality DM or and loan Gnabry.
I think Wenger knee-jerked last year into buying Welbeck…maybe could have forgot about signing a forward until this year and saved 16M. But I beleve I will eat my words with Welbeck if I said we shouldn’t take a chance on him or sell him on. He has more potential than Giroud to improve and heck Giroud has had 3 seasons to prove himself and he still hasn’t even matched Adebayor’s best for Arsenal.
Still I don’t see any striker coming in because a few of the ones we have have to be moved.
If I was the manager I would try to do a swap deal; cash + Giroud for one of the top strikers like Cavani or Lewandowski (but I doubt any of the top 10 clubs want Giroud because he wouldn’t make their first teams). Alternatively, we can get a goalscoring winger like Reus and deploy Walcott or Welbeck up front….anyhow something needs to change. Our forward line needs a remake next season if we are to have a substantiated chance of challenging for the EPL.
I don’t see any top deals being done if I’ll be honest. Wenger will probably go and buy a position we don’t need like a left back. I have been hearing Ghoulam. Get ready to be frustrated again this window.
I mean Arteta’s contract was extended, Flamini is still here…so no DM is coming in.
The only consolation is that Wenger probably has only 2 more years. So maybe I can manage another two more years of not winning the EPL or CL. I will apathetically watch as we capitulate again in the major competitions this coming season. Hopefully, I am proven wrong and this window turns out to be Arsenal’s best transfer window in the last decade.
Renewing contracts have nothing to do with blocking transfers nowadays. Sometimes its used to raise the price of a player.
Yes, but who is going to buy Mikel Arteta?
After reading the analysis above i dont see any difficulty in adding quality into our team, they are tons of deadwood and average players up in there. For me its simple, get rid of Flamini and bring in Krychowiak or Wanyama. Move Welbeck to the left wing to play as a sub for Sanchez and bring in Benzema, Cavani or Lacazette, its as simple as that and we are set to make a sustained challenge for the EPL. I can still make hectares of space in that team by trimming down on old players and sending many on loan to gain experience but i chose the above two positions because they are positions we need to desperately strengthen.
They are not game changers and never will be. Those players will never reach any other level that the one they are playing now… None of them will be world class or even great players. As a matter of fact, the only player who has seriously improve is Walcott. He is actually the only one we were missing the most. OX and Wilshere absences were not felt at all.
As a matter of fact, Wilshere injury was a “blessing” as that deluded manager of ours put in his mind that he was to become our new “chef d’orchestre” when he clearly does not have the quality and the skills (15 games as a number 10 and we won only 5… This is where we lost the league if we were supposed to win it. Wenger “genius” at his best…!).
Yesterday, Wenger said he was quite impressed by Man United recruitment so far. I don’t know if he was sarcastic or really praising them. I won’t be surprised if he was because he has no pride… If he had we would have won the league again long time ago. He does not mind (and some of the deluded fans) being wiped and surpassed by younger and hungrier managers (who basically showed us that he was way passed his best, if any).
Man City got Sterling and they are about to bring Kevin De Bruyne.
Fans were hestatic after we sign Cech (why, he was Chelsea number 2!!!), but I hope it is not the end. I just hope Wenger does not come up with another “Welbeck” type of signing (joke!!). The worse player at Man United and we paid £16millions for a “want to be ” striker… 4 goals in 3 months, what a f*cking return, great job Wenger!!!
We won the EPL and went to the CL finale by having a 25-30 goals “machine”, a destructive midfield (not the “ladies” we have right now) and a powerful defensive structure (apart from Koscielny, no one is world class at the back).
If Wenger thinks the way to success has changed, he is clearly delusional… I don’t think he is, I truly believe the EPL or the CL are not our main objectives (well they are for the fans, I hope).
We need to qualify for the CL and make sure we don’t get away from the top four. Anything else is a bonus (FA Cup for example).
If we were to go for the EPL and the CL (like Barca), we do not have the elements (squad, attitude, even financial power as a matter of fact) and clearly not the manager. We need someone of top quality who will worried about the team and nothing else. Wenger is a suit and part of the club furniture. He is, I guess, doing his best with what he got (skills and football knowledge), but it is clearly not enough.
Wenger has gotten away with many statements by using the word ‘IF’.
gnabry might go on loan too.
– down to 22 or 25, depending if they do leave.
rosicky might move on, maybe even flamini.
Nick, Arsenal doesn’t need to sign Higuain from Napoli but they might need to sign Faouzi Ghoulam from there to neutralize the opponents’ aerial threats for which Monreal and Gibbs are short. Any kind of disadvantage in the team’s back line must be removed before the season opens. Walcott, Welbeck alongside Giroud are poised than ever to alternately charged centrally. And combinely procure 60 goals through the center next season. Therefore, let the Boss jettison the ideal of signing a lone striker, 20 goal Benzima at the cost of losing 60 goals through my proposed alternate 3 strikers in the above. Despite his versatility, Oxlade best position should be to play through the wide to the right side behind the striker. He should be the understudy to Sanchez next season. Has Gnabry come top quality? Not yet I suppose. A specialist at Arsenal right wing position is unavoidably needed next season. How do I know all these? I know them because my spirit told me so. The Boss should not overlook my words.
Been an ardent reader of JustArsenal for over 1 and half years now tho! Just registered. I’m don’t like the cavani link to us. I don’t think he will make it in the premier league. Wenger will be more interested in the Lacazette kinda player, who can play anywhere in the attack instead of an all out attacker like cavani/giroud mold.
Who has the best defence in the Epl?
Besst middlefield in the Epl?
Who has the most effective tacits in the leuage.
Who is the best manager in the Epl?
How does Epl best team compare to the best out of the best outside the leauge?
That leaves up to 4 places available (Hector and Chambers are U21…so the 23 spots less 2 = 21).
I don’t think we have any problem in terms of player registrations.

In earlier posts in my Lessons Learned series, I've talked about how I organize my book projects, from developing my outline to using Scrivener software to collect all of my text and research into one place. As you collect the materials you'll need to produce your book, it's a good time to consider your publishing options.
You could decide to contact the major publishers to see if they are interested in your project. If your project is accepted, there are definite benefits to going this route. Working with a major publisher, you have a sounding board for your ideas and the support of an entire editorial team working to make your book the best book possible. Most of the major craft publishers, like Lark Books and Interweave, have submission guidelines available on their website. I tried this route back in 2008-2009, sending out several submission proposals for my first book on freeform peyote beading. When I never heard back, I started down the path of self-publishing.
All of the books I have written so far are self-published. Back in 2011 I wrote a post about my reasons for taking this route to publication; rereading the post, everything still applies. I've found that self-publishing gives me the greatest editorial control over the content, allowing me to produce the books I want to produce. But self-publishing also means a lot more heavy lifting on the author's part to create the most polished, professional book that you can. Each book I've produced has been a learning process, and each book has benefited from my earlier works.
A) have all of the pieces - often specific projects are incomplete, or still simply ideas, when I begin work on the page layout.
B) have pieces to more than one puzzle - invariably some of my ideas from brainstorming must be left on the cutting room floor (or saved for another project) to produce a cohesive book, but that's not always apparent in the beginning.
While I continue sorting and gathering, I start working on my next step - deciding upon the specifics of the 'look and feel' of the book I want to produce.
My goal is always to produce as professional a finished product as I can. This means my book needed to have a cohesive layout that is visually appealing and makes it easier to access the book's information. One of the most effective methods I've found to develop my own 'look and feel' guidelines is to study some of my favorite craft books from other media.
Go to the library (or your bookshelves) and choose 3-5 books that you think are both beautiful and extremely useful. It's safest to use a non-related media so that it's easier to focus on the overall 'look and feel' without getting lost in the information.
1) Overall Book Dimensions: What are the outside dimensions of the book? 8 1/2" x 11" tends to be the most common size for craft books in the US these days. If your book is a different size, how does that difference affect its visibility on the bookshelf? How does the size affect its readability/usability at the craft table?
2) Typography: What fonts do they use, and how do they use them? Most books use different fonts for the chapter headings than the main text blocks. What fonts do they use and where? Most books use two or more fonts; a serif or sans-serif font for the main text blocks, and possibly a bolder or more decorative font for chapter headings. Are the fonts serif, sans-serif or decorative? Do you like the fonts? Why or why not? What are the font's physical sizes relative to the page, and to each other? Make notes on what you see.
3) Margins and Whitespace: What are the books margins? Do the margins differ for the first page of each chapter from interior pages within each chapter? Look at both exterior margins - the white spaces around each page, and the interior margins - the spacing between headers, sub-headings, and body text. Also look at the white space separating text from photographs. Do the pages feel crowded, sparse, or just right?
4) Columns: How is the information on each page divided? Do they use multiple columns? How many columns? Do all pages have the same number of columns? If no, what are the different column layouts? How did the author/layout editor use the columns to help present the information? What is the white space between columns?
5) Images: Where do the images appear on each page? Do the images fit within the exterior margins, or do they extend all the way off of the edge of the page? When images stretch to the edge of the page without margins, this is referred to as "full-bleed" or "bleed". Note that not all print-on-demand-publishers offer full-bleed printing capabilities, and it may cost extra to produce a book with full-bleed photography. Older craft books made more use of black and white photography due to printing costs; it still costs more to print with color, but it's not as prohibitively expensive.
Most craft books will include both process photos and more polished photos of finished pieces. What background do they use for the process photos? How do the backgrounds in the finished pieces differ?
6) Illustrations: How does each book balance the use of photographs versus illustrations in describing their process? Are their illustrations clear and easy to understand? What would make them easier to understand? What do you like best about the illustrations, what do you like least?
Make photocopies or take pictures of some of the pages that you can print and scribble on about what you like and dislike. Your goal here is to better understand how other authors and editors have used these basic elements of book design to convey their message. Unless you are already comfortable with a page layout program, don't worry about developing your own templates at this point. Just make clear notes about the elements that you might like to use in your book. I often draw little sketches blocking out sections and pages.
Some of my favorite books for recent study include Complex Cloth by Jane Dunnewold; Paper, Metal and Stitch by Maggie Grey; and Color on Paper and Cloth by Ruth Isset. They are all amazing technique books by authors whose work I truly admire.
I've found that the time spent developing the design framework for each book project helps me to stay on track later. It's another way of thinking about and organizing the information; a way of looking at the forest rather than the individual trees. I don't always manage to follow my rules, but at least they are there as a guide!
This is my eighth post in my Lessons Learned series, about my experiences with self-publishing my latest book. Right now, I plan to talk about how I set up my book project using InDesign in my next post. But I'd love to hear from you: what would you like to see? Have you found this series useful? Are there specific topics you're hoping I'll cover? Inquiring minds definitely want to know.
You could make a Lessons Learned book!
Honestly, I am not planning on publishing a book so I skimmed your post. However, I did slow down for the typography section. Sometime in the last year I began following subtraction.com which is all about typography, layout, etc... I mostly skim that too but it is fascinating.
As for finding the series useful- see above about publishing. However, I would be content spending hours organizing things and I have found that part of your series captivating.
I apologize if this is a re-post google seems to like to eat my comments.

A great affection for the University and strong bonds between colleagues of generation, were the reasons that these former students had to meet and put a day with his comrades for a lifetime. A group of alumni of the Universidad Santa María, belonging to the Department of mechanical engineering 1962 generation, visited the House of studies to participate in a meeting which was filled with nostalgia and memories about their passage through the classrooms.
On the occasion, attendees shared along with their wives and former colleagues in a spirit of camaraderie, touring the facilities of the USM, the institutional Museum, workshops and laboratories, talking about the influence that was his alma mater, both in their professional performance and in his private life, after 50 years of graduation.
The event was attended by Patricio Carrasco, Luis Garay, Hans-Joachim Kramer, Rudolf Luck, Arnoldo Macaya, Enrique Olmos, Claudio Perl, Ludwig Vetter and Hernán Virreira, and their wives, as well as the professors of the Department of engineering mechanics Guillermo Gonzalez and Fernando Carvajal.
Luis Garay explains that they always try to maintain contact between colleagues of generation and, therefore, from time to time arises the initiative meet. This time, they wanted to return to the site where they formed as professionals.
“It is a very nice, very significant and exciting, experience because it is back to the roots of one, to everything that has accompanied him to one over 50 years of practice of the profession, with a fabulous preparation. It is to relive wonderful memories of a wonderful time, of all these friends who are no longer University colleagues, are friends who are in the soul and one can never be separated from them,”he says.
During his visit, former students were also welcomed by the rector of the University, José Rodríguez, with whom he talked about the current reality of campus, projections to future and the early conclusion of the 80 years of the institution.

This park celebrates a heroic victory at the Battle of New Orleans, South Louisiana’s rich Acadian culture and the peaceful beauty of the Barataria swamp.
One hundred years ago, Congress had a great idea and passed legislation creating the National Park Service. As the park service celebrated its 100th birthday, we decided to explore our Louisiana National Parks. At Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, it’s about a quiet walk that brings you to the wildlife and lets you experience the delicate and scenic beauty of a uniquely Louisiana National Park.

You’ve written a great book and someone wants to publish it. You take a deep breath and sigh. You can relax now. The hard work is done.
Wrong. The hard work is just beginning.
Both Patricia Santos Marcantonio and I have books releasing this fall. My book Waiting is scheduled for release by Booktrope in September. Pat’s book, The Ghost Sisters and the Girl in Hallway B, is also scheduled for release by Sunbury Press. Any given day you can watch us scurry, like the busy squirrels outside, as we get ready to launch our books.
Countless times we’ve been asked which is better, to self-publish or to go with traditional publishers? Over the years we’ve learned it doesn’t matter. Regardless of how our books are published, the work we, the authors, have to do to launch a book is the same. We’ve also learned it’s good to start early, before the book is released. Once the book is released is often too late.
Here are only some of the things we have to do to launch our books.
1) Build an online presence. In addition to social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) create author pages at Amazon and Goodreads. There are also other sites like Shelfari and Smashwords. Every day more opportunities arise for social promotion and it’s up to the author to make sure this happens (unless you’re lucky enough to have a publicist willing to do this for you).
2) Have a website, a blog, and update it regularly.
3) Have a public email address where your fans can reach you.
4) Your publisher may ask for back cover blurbs. Have some ready. Ask readers/fans you respect and admire, preferably someone who writes in the same genre, and be willing to reciprocate.
5) Ask for reviews and be willing to give one in exchange. Remember to say something nice about the book, even if it is only that you like the title or the cover.
7) Build a mailing list and an email list.
8) Make sure your media/press kit is up to date with current pictures and information. Spend time writing an interesting bio.
9) Design and order swag, something like bookmarks or postcards you can sign and handout at book signings and events.
10) Schedule giveaways and perhaps a Facebook launch party.
11) Seek out book clubs. Offer to attend through Skype. If you haven’t done so, develop a reading guide list of questions.
12) If you don’t have a publicist, prepare press releases and contact the media.
13) Determine whether or not to promote your book with ads. Is there money in your budget?
14) Schedule blog posts, blog tours, and guest posts. Be sure to reciprocate.
These are only some of the things you need to consider before you launch your book; there are countless more suggestions online. Make some time now, before your book releases, to develop a plan and then try to stick to it. Take a deep breath and try to stay calm as you plan your book launch. But most of all, remember to smile, and enjoy the journey. Then kick off your shoes and celebrate, you’ve earned a nice reward.

Our client was employed as a chef by a major Sydney company. He had nearly 30 years’ experience as a chef and was employed with the company for 18 of those years. Our client sustained a severe injury to his back at work through engaging in repetitive and unsafe lifting. It was through bending down that our client seriously injured his back. Our client was put off work and underwent surgery on his back.
After the surgery, our client returned to work, however he experienced great difficulties and could not continue performing his usual role. In a field such as hospitality, this type of restriction can be very damaging both physically and psychologically to one’s career.
To bring a work injury damages claim for our client, it had to be established that his injury met a minimum threshold requirement of 15% Whole Person Impairment. This is a prerequisite for any work injury damages claim. This means that our injury must attribute to impairment of at least 15%. The team at Gerard Malouf and Partners aided our client in being assessed by the appropriate specialist doctor and achieved the 15% WPI requirement.
Shortly after the permanent impairment claim finalised, we commenced an action in negligence against our client’s employer. Negligence arises where a duty of care has been breached. Work Injury Damages are claimable in situations where it can be proved that an employer was negligent. Your employer has a duty of care towards you, and their failure to uphold their duty of care can lead to serious injuries within the workplace.
Gerard Malouf and Partners identified the negligence of the employer in failing to provide a safe system of work for our client and managed to successfully construct a claim which resolved before needing to take the matter to Court to get an order for damages. Our client recovered over $270,000 in damages.

When we got an assignment to contact a person that influences and fascinates us I got lost for a moment. There are simply too many people whom I would be curious to meet and ask about their work and inspirations! After a couple of failed email conversations with hard-to-reach professionals I decided to try another way. My inspiration came spontaneous as a follow up of my daily curiosities. I personally find it very stimulating for my own working process to make a step aside from the main route and see what is it there behind the corner because you never know! Following this simple idea I went to a butchery I have been to recently. I already had a short encounter there with a butcher Mike and a video of him slicing slaughtered pig. Therefor we met again and I had a great opportunity to spend some time at the butchery with the best butcher-guide! During that meeting I discovered the world of modern dutch butcher and afterwords continued on searching for the best object i could make to tell the story of this meeting. In the text below you can find all the process steps that led to the creation of the final piece- OBJECT of CURIOSITY.
First Reaction: Right after the meeting I decided to quickly summarize what had happened and what material I have now. I had a sticker with all of the information about the pig Mike was slicing and loads of videos documenting almost the whole meeting. I decided to make a list of tags which would describe that meeting.
First tryout: My first idea was to make a fan with sharp knifes used as blades. I thought it would be a funny metaphor for the meeting. Chilling plus being dangerous.
Second tryout: Understanding that the fan idea is too flat I decided to try to make something what the butcher could use. Here is a sketch of some kind of logo/identity proposal.
Third tryout: After talking to my teacher and classmates I decided to go away from my direct design solutions and think more about what was my experience like, what made this meeting so special? The experience was unexpected, though the location of the meeting suggested some narratives, and the main conclusion I made was that my own curiosity led my towards this happening. I started sketching to figure out what object can look common but yet carry something surprising in it and trigger peoples curiosity at the same time.
Final idea: To go further I decided to ask my friends in what situations they feel the most curious? Receiving their opinions I understood that all of them were naming the situations where the communication with other people involved. At this point it became obvious for me! That now I want to make something that I can give to others, something that will become something else when used by people. And here came the idea to make some kind of lottery ticket called OBJECT of CURIOSITY. It will help people to create their own Object of Curiosity and at the same time will be object that contains the curiosity in itself. Here is the first version of it.
Final design: To make it look more like a lottery ticket I made a design for the object and used special techniques by applying scratchable lines on it.
Final move: To finish my project I asked two of my friends to test OBJECT of CURIOSITY and sketch their own Objects of Curiosity. Here below is what came outcome.
OBJECT of CURIOSITY is a lottery ticket to the greatest trip of your imagination! In this object I tried to combine suspense with excitement, make it open and closed at the same time and, above all, interactive. This is a metaphor for the process of my work and a useful tool for others.

An animation which was a part of "Give Her Five" campaign, was created to put the spotlight on an impact that Skateistan is having on the lives of girls around the world. “Her Story” is based on the real life of a student in Kabul, Afghanistan, where Skateistan first started in 2007.
I am extremely happy that I could contribute to Skateistan and their awesome initiatives by designing and illustrating this spot.

Should I Get Cigar Factory Seconds?
Posted byTravis Lindsay February 27, 2009 November 22, 2011 11 Comments on Should I Get Cigar Factory Seconds?
UPDATE: Since writing this post nearly two years ago I have tried some factory seconds. From my experience I can tell you that there are some truly awful factory seconds out there and I have wondered whether or not there was just some “cosmetic” imperfections with these cigars. Wrappers exploding, flavors nowhere to be found and a generally negative experience ensued with most of the seconds that I have tried. Is it possible that the term “second” is just some kind of marketing ploy to try to get consumers to buy cigars that are made with tobacco that is inferior to the tobaccos used in the ready for prime time cigars?
What I can tell is that there are some good, cheap cigars out there. For example, I do like the Joya de Nicaragua Fuerte Series B because it has a lot of flavor and comes with a small price tag. According to the literature on this cigar the wrapper for the JdN Fuerte is the same as the wrapper for the Antano while the filler tobaccos (and I’m assuming the binder as well) is “slightly” different. Some of the house blends from the various online retailers are pretty good as well.
Another way to cut back on the cost of your cigars is to buy smaller cigars. Usually, smaller cigars are less expensive and, as an extra bonus, with smaller cigars your wrapper to total tobacco volume is pretty high, which means you are experiencing more of the flavors and character of the wrapper with smaller cigars. That’s a good thing because the wrapper is the highest quality leaf in a cigar and many in the industry believe that the wrapper is responsible for a disproportionate amount of the flavor found in a cigar. Maybe even think about getting some of those cigars in tins – the CAO Lx2 in a tin is pretty good.
I’m looking to load up my humidor and I was looking around for some good ones that are less expensive. Sure, I could do some extra homework and find a bunch of different cigars that are cheap but, I don’t know, that just seems like too much time and effort for me right now. That got me to thinking about factory seconds.
Seconds are just cigars that don’t meet the cut for some reason. They may have something wrong with the wrapper, they aren’t packed correctly, or something else. Maybe they’re misshapen – you don’t really get to know what’s wrong with them until you get them. But, to be honest, I really haven’t gotten to many factory seconds before so I don’t know what to expect.
That’s where you come in. Should I even consider buying a couple dozen factory seconds? Is their quality so poor that it’s not even worth the discounted price? Basically, what should I expect from factory seconds? I was specifically looking into getting some Rocky Patel factory seconds and, knowing that it’s a very high quality brand, I can’t imagine they would sell something, even as a second, if the quality was not there.
Each manufacturer has their own way of “processing” bundle cigars. Sure, you can find some real dog rockets in the bundle aisles, but like boxed “firsts”, the tobacco in bundles and second cigars has been cured and aged prior to rolling. That said, I wouldn’t doubt that many bundle cigars are not aged after rolling, as are most boxed premium handmade cigars.
So, what do you think? Should I go ahead and get some seconds?
btw, I realize my math was off above. I actually bought 5 AJ Fernandez seconds. And three were terrible (although I think they were the same line).
Just surfed in while looking up cigar seconds. I realize this is an old post, but I figured I’d respond anyway. So far I’ve purchased 7 bundles of seconds: 4 from A. J. Fernandez, 1 from Rocky Patel, and 1 from Alec Bradley. Your addendum is completely correct, some are absolutely the pits and others are pretty decent. I’d say the edge closest towards crap than good, though. Out of the Fernandez bundles, only one was truly amazing, one was decent, and the other two were actually insufferable. I only smoked them when I ran out of good stuff. I smoked two of Rocky Patel’s seconds for one of his famous premium lines, and I had to return it. It wasn’t even worth the $2 a stick. I’m currently (at this moment) smoking an Alec Bradley second from their 90+ rated line. Eh. It’s not bad, and it’s not good–something I usually won’t say about AB’s 90+ cigars.
Seconds is a dangerous thing. I’d only recommend it if you buy it from a place with a good return policy. Nothing worse than being stuck with a mazo of 10 to 20 duds.
In all honesty: I love my Rocky P’s. For me it is the Rocky Patel Sun Grown Junior. The taste and the draw is great and they are not that expensive. Really good to enjoy myself.
Tommy, my man, I can’t spell either! If it weren’t for spell check I would not have made it out of grade school myself. But your information about seconds is spot on. When I place my next order I’m going to get a couple bundles.
And…I’ll let you know when I learn to spell. That 3rd grade edjumacation ain’t seem to be helpin’ none.
Seconds are basically “firsts” with imperfections. Maybe a bumpy wrapper, or a slightly loose roll, a noticeable vein, or an unevenly colored wrapper leaf.
When the cigar roller finishes each cigar, it’s placed on a shelf in front of him. The factory inspector separats the cigars into different piles and pulls aside those with slight imperfections and those are the ones that are often tagged as seconds.
Verdit: Buy ’em. They are often a great value in a bundle.
Two of my cigar buddies on Twitter (TriumphCIO and eshamus) have both said that the Rocky Patel seconds are very good. I think their recommendations might have decided the matter for me.
By the way: Follow me on Twitter @Travis_Lindsay and I’ll be more than happy to talk cigars with you.

CHINA: Trial services on the 40·7 km Ningbo – Yuyao Intercity Railway in Zhejiang province began on June 10. Services are operated by a fleet of eight-car CRH6F Cinova trainsets supplied by CRRC Nanjing Puzhen. These operate at a maximum speed of 160 km/h and have a high capacity of 2 000 passengers. There are no intermediate stations, and the eight services each way per day offer a journey time of 35 min.
The 469 km Kuytun – Beitun line was extended 67 km north from Beitun to Altai in the northwestern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on the same day. The single track, non-electrified extension was built at cost of 1·4bn yuan, with work starting in April 2014, five years after the Kuytun – Beitun line had opened. Services are hauled by DF4D diesel locomotives.

Filing for bankruptcy does not mean that you will never be eligible for credit again, whether for a home, a car or consumer items. In fact, many people become a better credit risk after bankruptcy than they were while missing payments and facing repossession or foreclosure.
At Kingcade Garcia McMaken we help clients understand that there is life after bankruptcy — a life much better than the one people live under the constant stress of overwhelming debt and creditor harassment. We are proud to have helped more than 15,000 Miami and Florida clients get the debt relief they need while building a plan for a better financial future.
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy are tools designed to help people rebuild and restart. It wouldn't help anyone be successful in that task if bankruptcy was the end of credit. In fact, because people who file for bankruptcy are unable to do so again for eight years, many creditors will consider people recovering from bankruptcy to be a reasonable credit risk.
Rebuilding credit after bankruptcy is something people do every day. If you are facing a serious financial crisis it can seem impossible to imagine how you can get your credit back on track. While bankruptcy isn't an immediate or quick fix, it can help you lay the foundation for a better financial future, one where you have the credit you need with manageable debt.
To schedule a free initial consultation at our Miami office, contact us through our convenient online form or call 305-285-9100. We can help you find out how the tools and protections of bankruptcy can help you build a sound financial tomorrow and put you in position to restore your credit.

Fairfield, NJ – Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging software, hardware, and services, today announced its Pick and Outstanding Achievement award recipients in the Document Imaging Software category. These coveted honors recognize the most impressive solutions evaluated by Buyers Lab during the previous 12-month test cycle.
As a preeminent information management platform, Canon Therefore delivers a host of strengths, including a powerful business process automation engine, robust standard reporting features, and time-saving document management features. This latest version stands out for its document security and information governance abilities. These include ironclad data storage security, plus the ability to help companies mitigate risks to the extent practicable and work in line with regulatory and compliance strategies when transmitting, receiving, maintaining, retaining, collaborating, and destroying business information. Therefore is also on the forefront when it comes to GDPR compliance, with features that allow companies to store, find, and catalog the personal data retained in its systems and tools to help organizations meet the GDPR’s reporting and assessment requirements.
uniFLOW Online delivers essential print management and scan capture features in an online service that’s easy to get started with. Information gathered can be used by an organization to identify where print-related cost savings can be made, and the service’s secure pull and mobile printing allow a user to send a print job and release it at any device on the network. Best of all, the cloud-based architecture eliminates the need to purchase, deploy, and maintain a server for the application, and customers always have the latest software in force without having to update the program.
Streamlining business-critical processes and turning data into actionable information are key goals for any forward-looking organization. PaperVision Capture, from Digitech Systems, is an enterprise-class document capture and workflow solution that can help companies achieve those goals by extracting data from both paper and electronic documents and delivering the information to where it’s needed. The platform’s Business Rules modules automate tedious business processes to improve efficiency, while the PaperVision Forms Magic module adds artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for automated processing of structured documents. PaperVision Capture also offers integration with a variety of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and line-of-business applications.
The DocuWare product family has long epitomized what a robust, scalable, feature-rich content management and business process workflow system should be. But instead of leaving well enough alone, with version 7 the company decided to re-architect much of the product’s underpinnings. The result is speed: It’s now faster to get up and running with either the online or on-premises editions, and everyday tasks such as searching, storing, and indexing documents show significantly better performance. Version 7 also delivers an improved administration experience that brings common chores closer to the surface and helps flatten the learning curve for admins new to the system. And the company made these improvements without disrupting the core strengths that have made DocuWare the benchmark in its class. As we’ve said before: If there’s a document management function that DocuWare can’t handle, we can’t think of it.
Documents are the lifeblood of many organizations, but too often knowledge workers spend an inordinate amount of time getting documents into the file formats they need and then to the destinations where they are needed. Konica Minolta bizhub Evolution assembles critical document conversion/delivery services in one handy cloud-based portal accessible from the desktop, a mobile device, and at bEST-enabled Konica Minolta MFPs. With these bizhub Evolution services, users can convert documents to popular office formats, have documents translated from one language to another, send documents to popular cloud storage destinations, provide secure-print access to Konica Minolta bizhub devices, and more. Buyers Lab analysts also appreciate the flexible billing structure: Customers are charged on a subscription basis only for the services they use in a given month.
Konica Minolta bizhub Legal is an embedded MFP application that runs on compatible Konica Minolta MFPs to deliver features designed to support the unique needs of knowledge legal workers in the legal profession. The solution allows users to stamp scanned documents electronically with custom legends, as well as set up and exploit custom one-touch workflows that process and route scanned documents to storage, to clients, or elsewhere. Scanned documents can be stored in the easily archived PDF/A format, and users can even search for text within scanned documents and copy that text for use elsewhere.
Lexmark Cloud Services is a flexible platform that offers a range of fleet- and print-management capabilities in an easy-to-deploy SaaS format. The solution can let IT administrators monitor, configure, and manage an entire fleet of printers and MFPs remotely, as well as apply firmware and application updates for enhanced device performance and security. Secure pull printing reduces waste, secures sensitive printed information, and helps businesses comply with regulations, while the platform’s granular reporting engine can identify potential savings and bottlenecks.
Nuance Power PDF Advanced is an impressive tool that can suit the needs of any business customers who work with PDFs on a regular basis. The program integrates seamlessly into business workflows, allowing many document types to be converted into highly customizable PDFs. Users can create PDF documents from scratch, import existing electronic files for conversion to PDF, or capture hard copy documents from any scanner to convert to PDF, complete with OCR processing to create searchable, editable documents from those paper files. This latest iteration delivers OCR engine enhancements for unrivaled conversion accuracy in both character-level and layout recognition, along with the ability for a group of users to edit, comment, and collaborate on PDF documents in real time.
Show us a school or business that doesn’t have a print management system in place, and we’ll show you an organization that is wasting money on hardcopy output. And while there’s no shortage of feature-rich output management platforms to choose from, finding one that won’t break the budget or the back of your IT personnel is more of a challenge. That’s where PaperCut shines: It delivers all the functionality the majority of organizations are likely to need in order to track, recoup, and reduce hardcopy expenditures, but in an affordable package that is easy to deploy and administer. In addition to the core accounting, cost-recovery and cost-reduction features that cover the print/copy/fax functions of supported devices across an output fleet, the solution delivers pull-printing functionality, mobile-print support, and even document capture/routing on supported MFPs. New in version 18 is the optional Job Ticketing module, with support for assigning costs to print room and FabLab devices such as high-speed printers/copiers, wide format plotters, 3D printers, laser cutters, and so on. End users can submit jobs to the print room via an online portal, see how much will be charged against their personal or departmental budget, and track the status of the job as it wends its way through production.
Elevate Composer is a simple yet elegant solution that enables Toshiba partners to deliver MFPs that are truly customized to each customer's needs. The solution offers personalization by targeting common business processes with prebuilt one-touch buttons. The shortcuts and apps added to the UI let end users complete sophisticated multi-step tasks easily, automating frequently used functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The UI templates can be customized (even by non-technical dealer personnel) to deliver a range of pre-programmed shortcuts aimed at general-business and vertical customers’ needs.
Building a perimeter around your organization in an attempt to secure information is a losing battle. There are just too many ways for data to leave. The Vera for Files document security solution takes a different approach: It builds a perimeter around your data. Vera applies policies at the file level—policies that remain in force no matter where, how, or to whom the document travels. Whenever a document is created and saved to a Vera-protected network folder, cloud share (such as Dropbox), desktop PC, or mobile device, the Vera platform automatically encrypts it with military-grade AES-256 encryption and applies the desired security policy. At the heart of these policies is dynamic access control that dictates what the recipient can and can’t do with a file. Permissions can be set to control the opening/viewing a file, printing, editing, and copy/paste functions. When a recipient attempts to open a Vera-protected file, that user’s credentials are checked against the cloud-resident Vera database to see what permissions the user has for that file. If none are found, access is denied.
Xerox Workplace Suite (XWS) combines a print management suite—complete with multiple authentication methods, print policy enforcement, and secure print release—with mobile printing and content security systems. The platform’s mobile print functionality is second to none, with support for printing from iOS apps natively, support for iOS and Android printing via the free Xerox Print Portal app, and a handy ChromeOS app. XWS provides complete print tracking for all jobs, whether they are submitted from a PC or mobile device and retrieved at Xerox or non-Xerox devices. For compatible Xerox MFPs, XWS will track and report on all job types (print, scan, copy, fax). The platform also lets IT administrators set and enforce print policies that can help to reduce waste and lower print costs. Moreover, the content security features alert administrators when a user has copied, scanned or printed a document that contains a specific text string.

Our Yorkshire printers Smith Settle have been with us from the very first issue of Slightly Foxed. Founded in 1981, they are among the now rare breed of craftsmen printers and bookbinders, producing beautiful cloth-bound hand-sewn books. It’s to them that we owe the consistently high standard of printing and elegant appearance of the Slightly Foxed quarterly and all of our books as well as slipcases, catalogues and stationery.
Seeing these processes in person is fascinating, and members of the SF team try to make the journey from London to Yorkshire as frequently as our busy publishing schedule allows. Earlier this year Anna had the pleasure of accompanying the Editors on a visit to the factory to look at binding samples for a potential new series of books. We hope you’ll enjoy reading Anna’s take on her inaugural visit to a traditional printers.
It was like walking into different world, one of whirring machinery, pots of ink and the hustle and bustle of human activity. We were greeted by Don and Tracey, the owners of Smith Settle, and taken to meet the small but expert line-up of printers, decked out in aprons, on the factory floor. The team offer complete litho printing and binding facilities all under one roof, and this is clear from the sheer amount of activity and machinery on show. A vast number of processes go in to physically creating the quarterly and our books, and Smith Settle are masters of all. From colour-scanning and plate-making, printing and folding, nipping and trimming, through to the binding (wire-stitched, perfect-bound, machine thread-sewn, hand-sewn, cloth to boards, the possibilities are endless) and finishing with blind-blocking, gold-blocking and hand-numbering, there’s a person – often working in harmony with a formidable machine – to take care of each process.
A highlight of the visit was learning about lithography. In traditional ‘litho’ (or ‘offset’) printing the difference between the print and the page is made on a flat surface by the separation of oil and water. The inked image is offset from a prepared plate on to a rolling rubber cylinder, and from there to the paper. Ian, the printer at work on this process, rather alarmingly demonstrated this separation of oil and water by slapping a palette knife loaded with ink onto his tongue. The moisture repelled the oily ink: the knife was still fully-coated and his mouth remained untainted. And if the threat of ink stains is not enough, when I was having a thorough nose around a plate-making machine, Don ominously warned me I might go blind. He wasn’t kidding – the ultraviolet light beneath the cover once made him lose his sight for a few days following overexposure!
Piles of discarded paper tests (as illustrated above), boxes upon boxes of books and journals, tubs and cans of ink and glue, half-constructed slipcases, spools of thread for sewing machines, and many printing presses of various sizes fill the factory. And out of all this clamour and enterprise come our beautifully bound publications. Towards the end of the tour, dozens of finished copies of our latest Carey Novel were laid out on a table ready for Tracey to add the final meticulous touch: individually hand-numbering each limited edition from 1 to 2,000 before they were packed in to binders’ parcels ready for their trip down to Hoxton Square.
Having witnessed the editorial process in the Hoxton office, it was fascinating to follow the printing process all the way through to the finished product and to see the care and craft that the team at Smith Settle put into making all things Slightly Foxed for us.

The end result of all of our research is that with NLR you can quickly compare rates on landscaping in Lost Creek from only the best companies around.
When you are narrowing down your search for a landscaper, it's important that you only look at Lost Creek landscapers that are licensed to perform their services in Kentucky. One thing to look out for is unlicensed landscaping contractors in Lost Creek offering substantially lower estimates which often look too good to pass up on. Choosing an unlicensed Lost Creek landscaper will often lead to poor work, if they actually perform the work that they say they will, and can often times turn what looked like a way to save money into a massive hassle that ends up costing more than working with a licensed company.
View Past Work - browse pictures of their past work to get an idea if you like the quality and designs they they provide. Viewing their past work is the best way to envision what you will end up with as each landscaper in Lost Creek has their own unique style and expertise.
Talk With Them - establishing a good rapport with your contractor will ensure that you end up with a design that fits with your wants and needs. Most customers want a landscaping company in Lost Creek to tailor the project to their specific needs and not get just the same cookie-cutter landscape as everyone else.
Ask for References - every good landscape contractor in Lost Creek will have an extensive list of satisfied clients. If they do not give out any references this should be seen as a red flag.
Landscape designers, architects and contractors in Lost Creek have a wide range of techniques and skills at their disposal to transform your property into a comfortable, functional area.

A good landscaper in Lost Creek will take into account current and future design themes, the climate, future maintenance and personal styles and tastes of their client. Yards can require a lot of time and upkeep which is why it's important to choose a landscaper that is experienced with installing sprinkler systems and creating lasting, low maintenance designs.

Doing both at the same time is more efficient so it will take less time overall and the project cost will be lower overall as well. If you are planning on adding walkways, a driveway, path, fireplace, terrace, firepit, outdoor kitchen or anything else with concrete, rock or stone, then it's important to use a Lost Creek landscaper with extensive experience and skill with hardscapes.
While a good Lost Creek landscaping company will leave you with an easy to maintain yard, some upkeep will always be necessary. If you don't want the task of caring for your new yard to fall on your shoulders alone, they should be able to either perform maintenance themselves or give you a recommendation of another company serving Lost Creek. Typical landscape maintenance includes fertilization, tree trimming, pruning, seeding, rototilling, erosion care, edging, lawn mowing service, garden care and more.

Hiring a Lost Creek landscaper that has experience with the soil, terrain, and climate in our area is essential in making sure that the project gets completed as best as it possibly can.
Finding an experienced landscaping contractor in Lost Creek with expertise and a great track record building what you need is always a good idea. The best way to get an idea of how your yard will look is to look at how their past work has turned out.
All great landscaping companies in Lost Creek should have an extensive list of happy clients that will be happy to vouch for them, and if they don't then this should be seen as a problem.
There are many unlicensed companies that will try to cut Lost Creek landscaping costs by hiring undocumented workers, and companies that do this are unlikely to invest in proper training and their lack of dedication to their craft will show in your finished product.

The Fedora Games spin provides a perfect showcase of the most effective games obtainable in Fedora. The Games Institute hosted a panel dialogue entitled Playful Considering: A Dialog on Games, Learning, and Literacy on Monday, October thirty first from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. This panel of consultants, all of which are games scholars, discussed the methods in which games and play within the 21stcentury are implicated by social, political, cultural, and pedagogical parts.
If no objectives are associated with a plaything, it is a toy (Crawford notes that by his definition, (a) a toy can change into a sport factor if the participant makes up rules, and (b) The Sims and SimCity are toys, not games.) If it has goals, a plaything is a challenge.
The differentiation between the two genres in such instances depends upon which factor of the game is foremost in its play; a board game using cards for random actions can usually use another method of randomization, while Cribbage can just as easily be scored on paper.
See the world’s greatest League players battle to change into legends. There’s journey games, puzzle games, action, activity and sports activities games so that you can play on Cartoon Network on-line, the place the fun never stops. Davey was the author of The Stanley Parable and The Newbie’s Guide, two video games that experiment in new types of storytelling.

The surge in Agile adoption has created a demand for project managers rather than direct their teams. A sign of this trend is the ever-increasing number of people getting certified as scrum masters and agile leaders. Training courses that introduce agile practices are easy to find. But making the transition to coach is not as simple as understanding what agile practices are. Your challenge as an Agile Coach is to support your team in learning how to wield their new Agile tools in creating great software.

When Donald Trump makes good on his promise to rework or scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) — as his frequent tweets on the subject suggest he will — Mexico is expected to use the security cooperation between the two countries as a major bargaining chip.
Trade between the U.S. and Mexico was worth $531 billion in 2015. And Mexico is Texas' number one export market, worth $92 million and making up 37 percent of the state's total exports.
But security experts point out that NAFTA is about more than economics. The robust annual trade relationship between the U.S. and Mexico has helped foster equally robust security cooperation between the two countries in the form of the Merida Initiative, a multi-billion-dollar program aimed at improving the capacity of the Mexican security forces and reforming the country's justice system.
"We probably would not see as broad or as deep cooperation with Mexico on security issues if we didn't see such broad and deep economic cooperation," said David Shirk, an associate professor at the University of San Diego specializing in security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Our close economic ties to Mexico made it more of a priority that we find a way to work together on the security front."
The United States has seen disproportionate benefits from the Merida initiative, particularly in the past couple of years with Programa Frontera Sur (Southern Border Program). At the United States' urging, the Mexican police and military have increased their presence along Mexico's southern border with Guatemala in order to stop migrants from reaching the United States.
Since the program launched in 2014, Customs and Border Patrol apprehensions in the Southwest Sector, the portion covering the Texas-Mexico border, have declined by 71,000, or 15 percent. Meanwhile, Mexico has doubled the number of migrants it is detaining along its southern border and the country's detention centers and migration authorities are overwhelmed.
In 2008, when the Bush administration launched the Merida Initiative, 90 percent of cocaine in the U.S. was coming through Mexico. That year, there were 6,844 homicides in Mexico.
"The problem was so severe, particularly along the border...that the United States was almost surely going to act to assist Mexico in some significant way," Shirk said.
Mexico's Secretary of Public Safety Genaro Garcia Luna, center, speaks with U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual, third right, during the delivery ceremony of three U.S. made helicopters to the Mexican government in Mexico City on Nov. 24, 2010.
The $370 billion trade relationship between the two countries in 2008 ensured that the assistance would be substantial. And indeed the U.S. has allocated $2.5 billion to Merida since 2008, dwarfing the $574 million spent on the Central American Regional Security Initiative (CARSI), the United States' security assistance program for Central America.
But as Merida ramped up, so too did the violence. By 2010, cartels were engaged in an all-out war for control of what the U.S. Justice Department estimated at the time to be a $39 billion annual drug trade.
The 13,000 murders in Mexico in 2010 included a number of well-publicized atrocities--decapitated bodies hung from bridges, the mayor of Santiago killed and his eyes gouged out, students executed and their bodies set on fire.
Most experts agree that neither security cooperation nor free trade directly drives the other, but that the two move in tandem. Nevertheless, the form that security cooperation takes is often driven by economic interests.
Mexico's judicial reforms, for example--introducing oral, adversarial court proceedings-- improved rights for the accused, and new regulations for police investigations have been a focus of the Merida Initiative since its inception. Because weak rule of law inhibits economic activity, that emphasis has a lot to do with improving conditions for business and economic development.
"Both Mexican and American businesses in Mexico are being adversely effected by this environment," said Roderic Camp, a professor at Claremont McKenna College specializing in Mexican politics.
Camp is quick to add, however, that the advent of Merida is not purely about economics.
"I don't think it's being driven directly by the commercial interests but I think it's really being driven by the desire to create a safer Mexico next to us. It's a desire on the part of Americans and others to help Mexico have a successful democratic political model."
Building a successful democratic political model means ridding the country of deeply entrenched organized crime syndicates and political corruption, which permeates every level of government. That can mean security and broader economic interests are in direct conflict with the interests of many Mexican politicians.
And not everyone agrees that the parallel movement of trade and security has always been in a positive direction.
"Nine out of 10 pesos that go into political campaigns of all parties come from illicit, illegal funding," said Edgardo Buscaglia, a law and economics professor at Columbia University.
"Regardless of what the U.S. does, that type of mafia-driven politics will continue in Mexico and unfortunately the Merida plan has done absolutely nothing to address that political dimension. Nothing."
What Mexico needs--and where NAFTA and Merida can help--is a small business revolution.
Mexico's unemployment rate reached a nine year low in 2016. But that figure includes the informal sector, which constitutes 57 percent of the labor force. At the same time, the country's poverty rate has been steadily increasing. All of which benefits criminal organizations.
"The best friend of organized crime is large numbers of people unemployed, large numbers of youth without any opportunity, huge informal markets, and NAFTA has fostered that," Buscaglia said.
If the U.S. really wants to change the dynamic in Mexico, NAFTA and Merida need to be changed.
"These hundreds of thousands of small businesses that right now are working in the informal sector in Mexico...you have to bring them into the formal domain. And for that Americans could really come and help."
Americans could be in for a hard lesson.
"Mexico recognizes that the United States is the most important country in the world to it. We [The United States] buy 80 percent of their exports," said Shirk. "The United States does not realize how important Mexico is."
But the U.S. might soon find out. If the Trump administration takes a hard line on NAFTA, the United States' second largest trading partner for both imports and exports won't take it lying down.
The security situation on the U.S. southern border will change dramatically.
"Mexico could certainly use security as a chip in the bargaining with the United States," Shirk said.
Referring to the infamous Sinaloa cartel boss slated for extradition to the U.S., Shirk added, "I think Mexico's willingness to extradite Chapo Guzman is going to diminish on January 21."
If so, the first fallout may have nothing to do with the drug war. If Mexico were to cut back its own southern border security then Trump's proposed border wall will be tested sooner than he may have expected and it will be Texas' border communities who feel it the most.

Happy New Year To All Del-Air Members and All Interested Guests! Please scroll below to see a calendar of events for this years happenings in Quartzite, AZ. I do not know who posted this but I send out a hearty Thank You as this is useful information for rockhounds to have.
Discovered in 1845, the mineral Wulfenite, is named after Austrian Jesuit mineralogist Franz Xavier von Wulfen, who authored a monograph on the lead ores of Bleiberg, Austria. Wulfenite forms square shaped, tabular crystals and also prismatic crystals. Other habits are massive and granular. Wulfenite is typically colored orange or yellow but may be brown, gray, or greenish brown. The colors often appear brilliant. Wulfenite forms in the parts of the ore veins that have been altered by circulating fluids, mainly water. Wulfenite can occur with a great variety of other minerals, including cerrusite, limonite, vanadinite, galena, pyromorphite, malachite, and mimetite. Wulfenite fuses easily. It is soluble in heated hydrochloric acid but will dissolve much more slowly in cold acid.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! - QUARTZITE 2009 IS COMING!

WATERTOWN, N.Y. – A Fort Drum soldier wounded in Afghanistan in 2009 admitted Tuesday that he killed a 4-month-old girl he and his wife were trying to adopt by banging her head against a hard surface and throwing her into a crib.
Jeffrey Sliker, a native of Middletown, R.I., could get 15 years to life in prison at sentencing on March 14 — almost a year after his arrest at the couple's home near the military post in northern New York.
Sliker, 23, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Laurne Clark, also known as Mollie Sliker, who was found dead with a head injury after Sliker's wife alerted authorities.
Prosecutor Cindy Intschert said Sliker told the judge "he had had very little sleep, he was getting ready for work, the child was crying and he became frustrated."
"My offer," the prosecutor said, "was plead to the top count or go to trial."
If convicted at trial, Sliker could have been sentenced to up to 25 years to life.
Defense attorney Sheila Crowley said Sliker was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. But she said she hadn't planned to raise any psychological disorders as a defense. The trial had been set to begin Feb. 27.
Sliker and his wife had been looking after the baby since birth under a court-approved adoption plan.
A private first class, Sliker joined the Army in 2008, served two tours in Afghanistan and was awarded a Purple Heart for an unspecified battle injury in 2009.
An Associated Press photograph shows him lying on a stretcher after being injured Aug. 19, 2009. An armored vehicle in which he and six others were riding hit an improvised explosive device in the Tangi Valley of Afghanistan's Wardak Province.
Sliker's brother, Jim Sliker, has said he wondered if his brother's service in Afghanistan, including sustaining a back injury and a concussion in that attack, may have been a factor in the baby's death.

Going Green for the Homeless. What a concept, and what, exactly, does it mean? Two women in Colorado came up with the concept. They thought that seeing flower beds in city parks was beautiful, but certainly more could be done. They spoke with city and county parks and recreation cepartments and garnered permission to place a vegetable garden in one of the premier city parks.
This is not any old vegetable garden either – the produce from this garden is to feed the homeless. Did you know that on any given night almost 700,000 people are homeless in the United States. In Missouri, 11 percent of our population is homeless. Of these people, 18 percent have no shelter at all (according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, April 2011 statistics). Some homeless people visit meal centers or food pantries, but rarely do they have fresh vegetables or fruits.
Dana Miller and Barbara Masoner wanted to change that by planting attractive, nutritious vegetable gardens throughout city parks. The first year they were granted permission to convert one flower garden into one vegetable garden in one city park. It was so successful they were then allowed to convert six gardens in four city parks. In 2011, they have been granted 13 vegetable gardens in eight different city parks.
Vegetable gardens take a bit of care to maintain with watering, weeding, let alone the harvesting. Dana and Barbara knew that even with their pack of volunteers they were not going to be able to handle it all – nor did they want to. They want the local communities to “buy in” to the project, so they collaborate with neighborhood groups, nonprofits and churches to plant, maintain and harvest the gardens. In turn, these local community groups choose to which food banks and shelters the produce is distributed.
Another element of the city park vegetable gardens is to demonstrate to city dwellers how attractive vegetable gardens can be grown. Masoner explains that encouraging city residents to grow their food locally reduces fuel emissions. She says that 25 percent of our emissions can be traced to the transportation costs for food; and that the average food item travels 1,500 miles to get to our table. These emission costs also reflect the farming and trucking costs to the transportation distributor.
Planting vegetable gardens in city parks not only provides fresh, wholesome vegetables for the homeless – they provide attractive, alternative gardening viewscapes – and they demonstrate to city dwellers the beauty, rewards and comparable ease of vegetable gardening.
Going Green for the Homeless – what a revolutionary concept!

Mia Besorio is a media and marketing authority, and an internet aficionado who builds brands and communicates their stories in authentic ways. She’s a multi-hyphenate creative, adaptable and always ready to take risks. Currently working on business development for the innovative Pitch Studios and project management for youth engagement agency Andpeople, Mia also contributes to various publications—Acclaim, Gusher, Sniffers, Filter, The FADER and Dummy, to name a few. I first met Mia when I was an editorial intern at Acclaim Magazine. Fellow former interns will be familiar with the nervy awkwardness that envelops you during your first few weeks in the role. Trying to complete tasks quickly, but not so quickly that you’re having to ask your boss for something new to do every ten minutes; being friendly and personable but not annoying. Being a good intern is a delicate, uncomfortable balancing act. Luckily for me, Mia showed me that I was right where I needed to be.
She took me to after work drinks and events, introducing me to everyone we met as an equal, not just some intern. She helped me network and introduced me to other creative women doing great work. Most importantly, she led by example. I saw how Mia backed herself. I saw how, even if she wasn’t feeling her best, she projected a confident, assured demeanour in the workplace. We stayed in touch after I completed my internship, and she became a mentor to me, plying me with the best kind of career and life advice. Recently, when I was facing a daunting meeting, the first person I messaged was Mia. Her advice was practical, to the point and reassuring. As always, she reminded me to prioritise myself. To know my worth and to not be afraid of asking for what I want. And that’s what Mia does best. She helps other women believe that they can do the thing, manage the project, land that job, and nail that pitch. Mia reminds women that it’s all possible, if only they back themselves first.
Hi Mia! We’re looking forward to your Go Your Own Way workshop. Firstly, how do you maintain a calm mindset in high-pressure work environments?
Maintaining calm doesn’t come naturally to me. As a Sagittarius woman it’s something that I constantly have to check myself on. Being naturally “calm” is a privilege, and for me it is was a skill I had to learn. Thankfully there are tools that I use to help maintain calm, such as: planning in detail, writing on post-it notes, guided meditation apps, fitness, retail therapy, actual therapy, and a very sturdy stress ball.
You’ve worked in marketing, editorial, music, events, artist management, business development, and more. Of the skills that you’ve developed throughout your career, which have proven themselves to be most helpful across the board, in all these varying industries?
Being adaptable is the core competency that has helped me to succeed, to survive, and to identify when it’s time to leave a role. Here’s the real truth: creative teams are lean, and job titles are a farce—we’re all “slashies” whether we like it or not. It’s super rare that your responsibilities exactly match your JD, so having the tenacity to just roll with the punches is crucial.
You’ve been an incredible mentor to me and many other women I know. Is this something that comes naturally to you? Why do you think mentorship is important?
Thank you so much, that means a lot! There is a maternal instinct that comes with being a woman that will inevitably surface in any title I take on. I have my younger siblings Jae and RJ to thank for that—they keep me in check by simply existing. I just want to be a good role model for them now as I was an absolute terror in my teenage years. I’ve also been blessed to have a big family full of fierce women to look up to. Professionally, I was lucky to work with the Queen trailblazer Alexandra Weiland, who was the lifeblood of Acclaim, and now is an absolute force in the Creative Direction team at adidas Originals HQ. You could liken mentorship to a warm hug after being lost in a debilitating sea of self-doubt.
What piece of advice do you wish you’d received when you were starting out?
We live in a world where nothing is ever good enough; where there is always more to be achieved. Nobody will ever criticise us, the way we criticise ourselves. I recently took some time off professionally to take a breather and find myself. In this time, I realised that I needed to take a step back from roles that involve managing individuals. It became clear to me that I prefer to manage projects, not people. Identifying this about myself has really helped subside my imposter syndrome. Just know that it is okay to feel this way at times.
What personal mantras or affirmations do you always revisit?
“Be your brand; be your biggest fan” is a mantra I swear by, and will always come back to. I’ve seen good friends find great success by adopting this mantra, so I can advocate that it works. When I’m in, I’m all the way in—it becomes my brand and my lifestyle. Being passionate about the here and now is something that I’ll always stand by.
Book? My favourite book of all time is ‘Please Kill Me’ by Gillian McCain and Legs McNeil. It documents the birth of punk music and reading it literally changed my life. A career highlight of mine was interviewing Legs McNeil for Acclaim's 'Explorer' Issue in 2014.
Song/playlist? Lost in the Supermarket —The Clash. The lyricism speaks on my entire life trajectory: growing up feeling alienated and bored in the suburbs, struggling to accept capitalism and consumerism, and then being led into the machine as a means of survival.
The Business of Hype with Jeff Staple on Hypebeast Radio is the mentorship I’d always been searching for. Every episode is a must-listen.
Film clip? Crazy – Aerosmith. Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler living my 90’s rebel girl dreams. The opening scene of Alicia jumping out of the bathroom window in her saddle shoes was a re-enactment of me through most of high-school.
Snack? I am weak for a carton of custard. I don't do things halfway.
Drink? Matcha green tea with pearls, however, I’m hoping they introduce a sustainable boba cup and straw option. I’ll wait.
Insta account? @mytherapistsays. Memes as therapy is my kink.
Scent?Mario Badescu Rose Water Spray all up in my aura, please.

The federal budget was handed down in Canberra last week.
THE announcement of Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison’s budget last week was out of the ordinary in one way: there was little to no discussion of housing affordability in Australia.
Taxpayers were touted as the overall winners from the budget, which included tax relief to lower and middle-income Australians at a projected cost of $140 billion that is intended to keep Liberals in government by spreading these savings out over seven years.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has had a marked effect on the market since its March 2017 announcement that it was going to crack down on risky lending practices, capping interest-only lending to 30 per cent of new loans.
As a result, investor demand dropped significantly to 18 per cent lower than market highs, while interest-only loans as a proportion of new loans dropped to 15.22 per cent in the December quarter.
APRA recently announced a lift on caps to investor lending, which was introduced in 2014, in an effort to reverse some of this drop in investor demand, which is projected to keep prices strong through a gradual increase in the proportion of investors entering the market.
At the same time, RBA interest rates are expected to stay the same at least through winter.
The effects of APRA’s 2017 measures and the consequent cooling of the market (with the annual price growth in Sydney actually declining for the first time since 2012), as well as changes to investor lending caps may be the main reason housing affordability failed to get any significant attention in the budget announcement.
Tax breaks and the message that the economy is in good shape is intended to boost consumer confidence within all areas of the economy, including for buyers and sellers of property.
Clearance rates have dropped over the past six months, but have remained relatively stable throughout 2018.
The government’s decision to keep housing out of the budget discussion indicates that the treasurer sees little need to interfere in issues such as negative gearing or other first home buyer incentives, instead relying on an ostensibly healthy economy, as well as market and regulatory forces to improve the chances of first home buyers who want to enter the property market.

Potentially toxic Anabaena growing in a bed of decaying Cladophora in South Fork Eel River side water in Phillipsville on Aug. 1.
The Eel River Recovery Project (ERRP) conducted a reconnaissance of popular Eel River swimming spots to assess suitability for aquatic recreation on August 1. Floating algae is becoming a nuisance on the lower South Fork Eel River and lower main Eel River and signs of potentially toxic cyanobacteria are apparent in these reaches. At the same time, upstream reaches of the South Fork Eel River and Van Duzen River are maintaining suitability for recreation.
During the August 1 ERRP survey, swimming conditions of the South Fork at South Leggett were excellent and were still good as far downstream as Benbow. Mats of floating algae at Tooby Park at Garberville and in pools downstream on the South Fork and lower Eel River below Dyerville make swimming less attractive and may present an increasing risk of swimmers itch. The Van Duzen River at Swimmers Delight is also maintaining good water quality, but algae may develop rapidly as flows drop and periodic heat waves stimulate growth.
On July 15, Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Mendocino County Environmental Health, and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board jointly issued a warning that recreational users of all fresh water bodies should avoid contact with algae. Not all algae is noxious, but the public needs to be aware of and avoid specific habitat areas that can foster toxic algae and pose the greatest risk to human and animal health.
Much of the algae in the Eel River is green algae that poses no health risk. Filamentous Cladophora drapes off the rocks in riffle areas and serves as a major part of the food web that supports native species like salmon and steelhead. Cyanobacteria, known commonly as blue-green algae, thrive in warm, nutrient rich environments such as stagnant areas on the margin of the Eel River and its tributaries that create an ideal medium for growth in late summer. The major source of toxins in the Eel River is Anabaena that forms dark green spires underwater that often have oxygen bubbles coming off them during the peak of photosynthesis. Pieces of cyanobacteria float up with the bubbles and may form a scum that can also be toxic in slack water downstream.
Not all cyanobacteria species are toxic and species capable of producing toxins do not always do so. However, when toxic blue-green algae cells are broken open by dogs playing in algae scums, toxins can be released and get on a dog’s fur. Humboldt County DHHS learned that the neurotoxin Anatoxin-A was responsible for previous dog deaths due to paralysis, including respiratory failure within 15 minutes of exposure.
Flows at many Eel River U.S. Geologic Survey flow gauges are far below averages for the period of record, despite the nearly average rainfall this past winter. A recent flow assessment sponsored by Friends of Eel River found significant Eel River flow depletion versus historic conditions, and flows this year fit that pattern. For instance, South Fork Eel flows at Leggett were 22 cfs on August 1 and just 23 cfs downstream at Miranda, when flows would historically have doubled in this reach. Loss of tributary flow contributes to stagnation, warming and toxic cyanobacteria blooms in main river reaches downstream. Water withdrawals play a role in flow depletion, but recent studies suggest increased evapotranspiration by early seral forests may be an equal or greater factor in reducing summer base flows.
ERRP is partnering with the University of California Berkeley, the NCRWQCB, and Round Valley Indian Tribes to monitor cyanotoxins at 15 Eel River basin locations. Dozens of volunteers are also helping deploy water temperature sensors at more than 100 locations. Learn more about the Eel River Recovery Project and Eel River water quality and flow at www.EelRiverRecovery.org or call 707 223-7200 to get involved. Support for the “Is It Swimmable” project was provided by the Rose Foundation Grassroots fund.
The shallow side water on the South Fork at Phillipsville (on the left above) is a high-risk area for toxic cyanobacteria development.

Most aspiring developers begin our training series with no experience in small-scale development, but upon completion have the skills necessary to start working on the places they love and want to see succeed.
We teach them the “how”, but investment partners like you give them the ability to do.
Good investing is about making good decisions, and one of the best, humanity-focused investments people can make is in their own communities. Helping developers who focused on increasing the value of a community with a positive ROI for themselves and their investors is a great place to start.
Our training can show you how to help paths and build bridges for these developers who need your partnership in order to create big, positive change. We can show you how small-scale development can be a catalyst for momentum within a community and providing a positive return on investment. We can teach you how to leverage capital to help the most people, do the most good, and how starting small can lead to multiple, larger projects while mitigating risk.
Learn more about who we are, what we do, and the kind of development we teach.
