Simply put, Design Research defines and creates baseline values for creating products, services, systems, and ideas that respond to human needs and desires.
To generate value (often utility) for the end user.
Cumulative gathering of human experiences and artifacts that is then synthetically processed.
Empathetic, focused on customer outcomes.
Visual stories that use words, photos, drawings and videos to present complex human ‘personas’, needs and patterns. Data becomes narrative.
Video Research can take many forms.
Video documentation may take the shape of real users working with a proptotype or actual product and creating a contextual visual knowledge base of asking, listening and sometimes understanding the users thoughts and ideas on a brand or products statements through engagement on a realtime/qualitative level.
Take the example of archival footage of race cars. We can discover who the race car driver was and what kind of car, engine and tires the race car had. We can do the same in the corporate setting. If we have old footage from 1941 of a Vice President next to a piece of machinery we can find out what kind of machinery it was and the name of the Vice President.
We can comb through gigs of video, bucket the information and make sense of it.
We can conduct an analysis of competitors’ videos. What works? What doesn’t? How did Users respond? What were the competitions’ main points? Where is the competition technologically ahead or behind? What competitive services created a positive response? What are the competitors’ weaknesses?
We can synthesize from past videos to discover stories or develop a brand new story based on archival videos. Often, viewing ten or twelve of a company’s videos at a single sitting offers many potential opportunities and connections that otherwise might not be readily apparent.
We gain great insight simply by watching videos.

Say what you want about it being just the second week of the season, but the Greeley West football team is playing with the intensity of the postseason.
Sure, the Spartans had some trouble with the center snap in Friday night’s victory over Broomfield, but perseverance, patience and talent won out.
It’s no secret that Greeley West has an offense that can put up big numbers with senior quarterback Sean Blackmer running the show, senior tailback Steffen Bunting being a threat every time he touches the ball and the versatility of senior Max Morgan behind a stout offensive line.
However, it’s the defense that deserves a look after giving up just six points in two games.
Anchored by senior AJ Frieler, a behemoth on the line on both sides of the ball, the Spartans have been stingy, to stay the least.
Bunting, who has piled up two 1,000-yard-plus rushing seasons, is proving his worth as a defensive back, lending to an already talented duo of seniors Erick Ghent and Conner Roggy.
Head coach Mark Roggy wasn’t about to show his hand after Friday night’s victory over Northern Conference heavyweight Broomfield, but he knows the importance of picking up victories over upper-echelon teams in the conference, including Loveland and Longmont.
He also only hinted how gratifying Friday’s victory was, especially without Conner Roggy, his son, out of the lineup with an injured left knee.
Conner Roggy’s absence is felt on both sides of the ball as he’s become one of, if not the best wide receiver on the squad.
Conner suffered a slight tear of his meniscus in a routine practice earlier in the week, and if it only requires arthroscopic surgery, he could be back before the end of the month.
In the meantime, the Spartans are already living up to their preseason hype.
The Northridge football team’s victory over Silver Creek on Thursday night may have been the best performance the Grizzlies have exhibited in more than two seasons.
Mike Switzer, and his system, are comfortably settling in for the Greeley Central volleyball team.
The Wildcats are 3-0 in conference action, a vast improvement over last season. They swept Silver Creek on Thursday night, and are riding the talent of at least five players – Taylor McNamara, Bailey Koehn, Nicole Cousins, Maya McGowan and Federica Sgroi.
Greeley West’s David Oraee and Greeley Central’s Michael Lee are into the homestretch almost neck-and-neck as the top two golfers in the Northern Conference. In a conference match last Thursday, Oraee took medalist honors at Mariana Butte with a 66, while Lee carded a 69. Greeley West is primed to win the conference title, unseating Greeley Central with just one divisional match left, but look for Oraee and Lee to tame Mariana Butte’s picturesque and challenging layout later this month in the regional championships, which is also the qualifier for next month’s state tournament at Highlands Ranch Golf Course.
Former Greeley Central standout Shawn Chacon, pitching for the Sacramento River Cats of the AAA Pacific Coast League, helped the River Cats clinch a berth in the PCL Championships against Memphis.
The series with Memphis starts Tuesday night in Memphis, Tenn.
On Saturday night, Chacon threw five innings in a 13-8 victory over the Tacoma Rainers.
Chacon surrendered eight hits, four walks, four earned runs and struck out four. He’s second on the team in wins with eight, compiling an 8-4 record and a 6.28 earned run average.

When discussions of sequels that top original flicks occur, we mostly find the usual suspects: The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Terminator 2, and The Godfather Part II readily spring to mind. Many will disagree, but I�d add 1990�s Predator 2 to the mix. I thought the 1987 original offered some good action, but it always seemed like a disappointment that didn�t live up to the potential of its premise.
However, I felt its sequel took better advantage of the possibilities. Whereas Predator took place in a jungle, Predator 2 relocates to Los Angeles circa 1997. A place seven years in the future when they made the film, this LA suffers from a relentless heat wave and some horrific violence between drug gangs. The film starts with an incident between the LAPD and Colombian baddies; the latter injured some cops and the former want to rescue them but can�t get past the barrage of gunfire.
The cops suspect that competitors did these nasty deeds, and DEA Special Agent Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) states that he�s there to stop King Willie�s voodoo gangs from taking over the whole west coast. However, we can tell he has another agenda, just as we know the predator killed the Colombians.
But we�re ahead of Harrigan and his crew. We meet his coworkers Danny (Ruben Blades) and Leona (Maria Conchita Alonso) as well as a new teammate, hotshot �Lone Ranger� Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton). The predator stages its own assault on the gangs while the authorities try to keep up with the mayhem. In the meantime, Harrigan suspects that Keyes knows more than he�ll tell, so he gets Jerry to tail the DEA agent. Eventually, matters become more personal between Harrigan and the predator, which sets the cop off on a vendetta. This leads to a long series of action sequences that pit man against alien on the streets of LA.
While I can�t say these totally live up to the potential of the piece, I think they come much closer than the original flick did. Actually, Predator 2 seems like two different movies to a certain degree. The first half offers more of a mystery, at least for the film�s characters. We know exactly who�s responsible for the various killings, but Harrigan and the others remain ignorant. That means the movie drags somewhat during its initial half. We need to wait for the participants to catch up with us, and that takes quite a while.
Actually, our main protagonists don�t get to the audience�s level of understanding until well past the midway point, but at least they become more involved in the action. Since the first half concentrates so much on the investigation into the culprit, we don�t see much action that features the predator. While the movie starts with a major shoot-out, the predator�s sequences go by pretty quickly, and he doesn�t turn into a real factor until a big scene on a subway train.
As for the actors, they struggle to make their barely-one-dimensional characters come to life. Alonso and Blades fail, as their roles remain wooden and lifeless. Paxton does better, mostly because he adopts a more broadly comic personality and doesn�t take things too seriously. Lambert doesn�t ever become as endearing as Hudson from Aliens, but at least he exhibits a little spark.
Predator 2 appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Though it showed its age at times, the picture generally looked quite good.
Sharpness seemed fine. The movie came across as accurate and distinct. I noticed no issues related softness or fuzziness during this tight and well-defined presentation. Jagged edges and moir� effects created no concerns, but I discerned some light edge enhancement at times. As for print flaws, I noticed a little grit and some specks, but in general, the movie looked nicely clean and fresh. Some light grain also cropped up at times.
Predator 2 presented a lively palette, and the DVD replicated those tones well. It handled some scenes with red lighting nicely, and the other hues came across as tight and vivid. Black levels seemed deep and dark, but shadow detail could appear somewhat dense and murky. Since the film included a lot of low-light sequences, this caused some moderate problems. Nonetheless, I generally felt satisfied with the image of Predator 2, as it looked pretty solid for a movie of its age.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack of Predator 2 also demonstrated some issues related to its era, but it mostly seemed very satisfying. The soundfield presented an involving affair, though it appeared a little too active at times. Audio from the forward channels worked well, as the music showed good stereo presence and effects blended together neatly and cleanly. Material seemed well placed and elements moved smoothly between channels. Surround usage appeared somewhat excessive and artificial at times, but the rear speakers usually provided good reinforcement of the front speakers. Too much music came from the back channels, but effects became nicely engrossing and lively.
Audio quality seemed quite good. Speech sounded natural and distinct, and I noticed no issues related to intelligibility or edginess. Music appeared very strong, as the score consistently came across as bold and dynamic, with solid clarity. Effects also seemed clean and accurate, and they packed a serious punch. Low-end material appeared tight and deep; elements such as helicopters and the predator�s heartbeat presented tight and deep bass. Overall, the mix for Predator2 worked nicely and earned a �B+�.
Though not totally bare bones, Predator 2 lacks many extras. We get a 1990 featurette that runs five minutes and 41 seconds. Mostly it shows movie clips in addition to some behind the scenes snippets and interview tidbits from director Stephen Hopkins plus actors Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ruben Blades, and Bill Paxton. A few of the shots from the scene seem decent, but the interviews lack substance and the featurette exists as nothing more than a glorified trailer.
Another promotional program from 1990, Predator 2: Creating the Ultimate Hunter lasts three minutes, 40 seconds. However, at least this one tries a little harder to divulge filmmaking information. We get the same mix of materials as we learn about the creation of predator vision, urban camouflage, and the predator�s weapons. Oddly, the piece names none of the participants, so while I recognized Hopkins, creature creator Stan Winston, Glover, and fellow actor Morton Downey Jr., I can�t name any of the other technical personnel. The material from the set seems moderately useful but not deep, and the details about the effects also fail to tell us much. Like the prior featurette, this one remains very oriented toward hyping the film, so don�t expect to learn much from it.
The package concludes with the theatrical trailer for Predator 2. It comes presented anamorphic 2.35:1 with Dolby Surround 2.0 audio. It seems unusual that the film�s original 1.85:1 dimensions got cropped to 2.35:1 for the ad; usually trailers reverse that prospect.
A lively and generally exciting little action flick, Predator 2 doesn�t do anything to redefine the genre, but it works well as a whole. It seems consistently more satisfying than the disappointing original movie, and it contains enough solid thrills to make it a success. The DVD offers surprisingly strong picture and sound, but it skimps on extras. Nonetheless, Predator 2 comes across as a compelling and enjoyable action movie, and it merits my recommendation. With a list price of less than $15, this sucker�s a definite bargain.

In the recently concluded series against India, Morkel played each of the three Tests and five of the six ODIS, showing his exemplary skills by taking 13 wickets at 20.00 in the Tests, and continued his sterling performance for the Port Elizabeth ODI where he was called in lieu of Chris Morris’s back injury, even though he took only took two wickets from five games at an average of 103. With a young family and a foreign wife, the player confessed that the international schedule had put a lot of strain on the family and that his retirement would only benefit them in the long-run.
The Cricket South Africa CE, Mr. Thabang Moroe, commended the player for his commitment and contribution to the South African Team wishing him the best in his future endeavors. With the upcoming Australia series commencing on March 1 at Durban, Morkel would have another chance to add to his international record of 529 wickets. Having been a regular selection for both the Test and ODI games since the beginning of his career in 2006, the player has been one of the finest fast bowlers in the International Cricket history, showing all traits of a champion fast bowler with his colossal skill, dedication, perseverance and capability to bowl even through the painful injuries.
With the Australia series drawing close, many fans and supporters of the fast bowler all over the world are excited to watch his last match before his retirement, as they wish and hope to see the player return to the field in the future as well.

This painting is in oil paint on canvas measuring 1775 x 1486 mm (figs.1–3). The canvas is made up of two pieces of plain woven linen, joined together at a seam across the centre (fig.4). The top piece is 895 mm in height and the lower piece 880 mm, and the weave on the two pieces looks very similar: the top piece has 15.5 vertical and 15.5 horizontal threads per square centimetre, while the lower has 13–15 vertical and 15.5 horizontal. The threads of the canvas are uneven in thickness with many slubs.
There is cusping of the canvas weave on all sides of the painting.1 The original tacking margins are no longer present on the edges of the stretcher. The painting has a glue composition lining, which from its style probably dates from the late nineteenth century. A restorer’s label on the back of the stretcher, which looks contemporary with the lining, records ‘L. B. TAYLOR / 18 Ir [?…..] Sq. / MANCHESTER / EXPERT ART / PICTURE / RESTORER.’, printed on a shield-shaped label. Bar-cracks parallel to the edges of the painting indicate that the original stretcher bars were 63 mm wide (2 ½ inches). At the top of the picture the bar mark is 89 mm (3 ½ inches) from the actual top edge of the painting; examination of the X-radiograph gives the explanation that the top tacking margin was folded out to form part of the picture plane some time after the painting was finished. It is supported by the lining and has been overpainted to look like a continuation of the original image. The painting’s original dimensions would therefore have been approximately 25 mm less in height, making them approximately 1750 x 1486 mm.
The ground is beige coloured and it was applied to the sized canvas in a fairly thick, smooth layer. The ground appears to have been sealed with thin, oil-based priming (fig.5). The priming contains small amounts of lead white, chalk, black and earth colours to give a dull grey tone.2 The artist may have developed it into a dead-colouring, keeping it very thin in light toned areas such as the white and yellow drapery but applying it thickly in areas such as the column and the dark background to get a feel for the shape, the internal space and the lighting of the composition (figs.6–7). No underdrawing is evident with the microscope or infrared.
In general the paint is of a creamy consistency and was applied thickly with vigorous brushwork very much in the manner of Bol and Rembrandt, with whose work Kneller would have been familiar during his years of training in Amsterdam.
Examination of cross-sections in UV light indicates that the medium for most of this glaze-work was oleo-resinous. The yellow drapery is based on mixtures of lead tin yellow with yellow earth colours. The garment was built up wet-in-wet. Cross-sections from some of the dark areas in the background reveal very bright, solid underlayers which play no part in the final composition; for example the torus of the column on the right is underpainted with very bright, opaque green based on the mineral pigment malachite, some of it the variety known as spherical (fig.10). It is not clear whether these were false starts for a different sort of background or part of the process of painting. They are not clarified by the X-radiograph, which reveals no significant alterations to the visible composition.
An interesting feature of the light, opaque areas – the flesh-tones, the white and the yellow drapery – is the admixture of significant quantities of blue pigment into the paint. The blue is a mixture of smalt and ultramarine ash.4 The function of these light blue pigments may be more than tonal: smalt is known to have been used in this capacity as a drier for the oil and also as a transparent filler to add bulk to the paint without making it too opaque. Artists known to have used smalt in this way are Rembrandt, Van Ruisdael and others of the Dutch school.
The painting is covered with several thick layers of natural resin varnish, which have discoloured to a mellow brown, although they are still translucent.
1. Cusping is the name for arcs of in-plane distortion in the weave at the edge of a canvas caused when it was first held taut with tacks or cords for priming.
2. Identification of pigments was carried out by Rica Jones with analytical microscopy, followed by EDX analysis (energy-dispersive X-ray analysis) by Dr Joyce Townsend.
3. This may be why a sample sent for red lake analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography gave no useful results.
4. Many of the particles have the conchoidal fracture of ultramarine in polarised light microscopy, and the EDX results consistently showed peaks related to the elements of ultramarine as well as smalt.

It’s interesting that the birth of life is filled with advanced planning and preparation while, unfortunately, the end of life is consumed with reminding people that you have lived. But while it is natural to be afraid, we do not have to be alone.
Increasingly, nurses are training in Palliative Care so that proper preparation for our loved one’s survival can be well assisted.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing released the revised Recommendations, Competencies and Curricular Guidelines for End-of-Life Nursing Care of 2015, which identifies nurses as critical partners of quality End of Life care for patients with serious illnesses and their families from the time of diagnosis, across the illness trajectory.
High-quality training equips nurses to aid in the mental and emotional stress for the patient and their family. This training is a combination of spiritual-psychosocial health and physical health to assist in the heartache and disparity that accompany terminal illnesses.
Why would nurses need this?
Could you imagine the added stress frequent mourning could cause for a patient who is still alive? Good End-of-Life care aid the family in cherishing moments and helping them recall feelings of joy, humor, and peace during the last stages of life. This can reduce the fear and loneliness that the patient may endure in their last moments.
Living too far from family with a terminal diagnosis without home health services is dangerous. Statistically, a growing number of patients fear loneliness and limit their desire for social engagements due to their illness. This can result in further physical decline, depression, and feelings of helplessness in patients surviving in isolation.
Be mindful of behaviors such as increased lack of contact with your loved ones. Social isolation can be a cry for help for those who feel less than independent.
While some family members are fully aware of each other’s needs, a disturbing diagnosis of a terminal illness or chronic disease can silence an individual, and pull them away from the ones they love and need.
Increase public awareness, educating family members about the dangers of social isolation is essential to ensuring the last moments of a patient are dignified and full of love.
To learn more about palliative care, call C-Care Health Services today at 1-866-433-1085 or contact us here.

Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over a medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop very finely.
Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring and breaking up with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet and then add the onions and cook, stirring, until lightly golden, 7-8 minutes, add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the cinnamon, cumin, salt, pepper, cardamom, and cayenne and cook 1 additional minute. Return the chicken to the pan, add the honey and stir to incorporate. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then stir in the almonds, cilantro, egg and egg white.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry work surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Top with another sheet of phyllo and brush with oil. (Cover the remaining stack of phyllo with damp paper towel so it doesn’t dry out as you make the pies.) Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, gently cut the phyllo in half lengthwise so you have two equal-sized strips.
Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken filling onto one of the double-layer strips about 2 inches from the top. Working from the corner, fold both layers of the strip together over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding, following the shape of the triangle, three more times. Repeat with other double-layer half of phyllo, then brush outside of each triangle with more oil. Repeat with remaining phyllo, and filling to yield 8 turnovers.
Place pies on a large parchment-lined cookie sheet. Make a couple of small slits in the top of each with a sharp knife, then bake until browned, about 30 minutes.

France's world-famous theatre festival in Avignon is set to open on Friday, but will do so under the threat of a strike by performers which could cripple the month-long event. However, festival technicians, ticket sellers and other staff voted on Tuesday to stay on the job.
France's top theatre festival in the southern city of Avignon will open as planned on Friday, though it could still be disrupted by a strike from performers that has hit other cultural events in France.
About 80 percent of festival staff voted on Tuesday for the opening to go ahead as planned, a spokeswoman for the festival workers said.
"We want this festival... to be a loudspeaker for the demands of precarious" performers and arts workers, the spokeswoman said. Of 350 workers directly associated with the festival, 309 voted late Monday with about 80 percent wanting it to go ahead as scheduled.
Though that number does not include the scores of performers at Avignon and who have promised to strike. The CGT-Spectacle union has called for a "massive strike" on the opening day of the Avignon festival, in line with other recent job action by arts workers protesting changes to their benefit system.
The CGT strike warning covers the entire month of July, which is essentially the duration of the festival.
The festival staff, who voted to not completely shut down the technical side of the show by striking, have planned to meet again for a vote on Thursday. At that meeting they will decide what sort of action they plan to take on the opening day of the festival.
The protest has hit events in Paris and several other cities and led to cancellations.
Under French law some 250,000 workers in the film, theatre, television and festival industry benefit from a system that compensates them for periods when they do not work, in a bid to address their chronic job insecurity.
But many are unhappy with a deal reached between some unions, employers and the government in March to try to save money on this loss-making welfare regime. The agreement would increase their payroll taxes, among other changes.
Actor Jimmy Shuman, a general delegation member of labour union Syndicat Francais des Artistes-Interpretes told The Local previously that artists and technicians are getting a raw deal.
“In the long term if you have fewer people available to make a living out of their art, their talent, then it’s going to be harder to have a broad cultural offering," he said.
"Right now you’ve got so many small companies that are able to irrigate the entire country with plays, with music. There is very vibrant culture scene even in the midst of the economic downturn," he said. "It's simply a way to allow people to survive."

Subsidized by financial resources of the EAA Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 pursuant to the contract no. 508/2014/Wn50/OP-XN-02/D signed in 2013 with Narodowy Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej.
main goal: protection of endangered avifauna species of the artificial reservoir in Kaleńsko and Chlewice as well as recreation of the flood meadow environment in Żabczyn.
partners: Municipality of Boleszkowice, Municipality of Górzyca, Minerały sp. z o.o., Ptaki Polskie Association, Ecological Farmstead in Żabczyn.
The goal of the project is to protect endangered avifauna species of the artificial reservoir in Kaleńsko (lot no. 164/13, Kaleńsko area). Its fauna found there one of the last safe havens in the valley of the Odra river. The subject of the contract is to make 200 m2 of the previously mentioned reservoir’s surface available. According to the project, two floating nesting platforms are meant to be installed on the water surface in order to imitate natural islands. It would secure the birds’ clutches (which were able to hatch only once since 2007) from the destructive influence of water level fluctuations (the nests are usually flooded or destroyed by predators after the water level violently drops, mostly by American mink Neovision vison). Those actions are not only righteous, but also fulfill the duty imposed on Poland by the law of European Union. The Municipality of Boleszkowice is not burdened by the costs of the project. It only involves granting permission to reclaim the 200 m2 of the area of water surface (the obligations of the Municipality of Boleszkowice are determined by the Partnership Contract (paragraph 6, act 2)). The assumed realization of the project does not exclude further exploitation of mineral resources.
The realization of the project includes a broad range of actions outside of the municipality’s terrain and its grounds (the plans include placing a third “island” on the surface of the body of water in Chlewice and recreating the marsh with a controlled water level in the Municipality of Górzyca). Currently, the body of water that is a subject of the project is rented by the company Minerały sp. z o.o., which is also a partner of the project by sharing their lots on the reservoirs in Chlewice and Kaleńsko for the duration of the renting contract. The potential joining of the Municipality of Boleszkowice to the project would take place after the renting contract has finished.
The realization of the project entails great involvement in promoting the area (the majority of academies and centers associated with wildlife tourism) and educating children and teenagers. The project also includes trips for groups of students, which are meant to present to the young the urgent need of implementing the project, as well as the natural value of their small homeland.
3. monitoring, educational and promotional activity.
The project is a consequence of longstanding observations of annual losses of protected bird species’ clutches, including those listed in the first attachment of the Birds Directive. The data concerning the success in breeding was gathered in the years 2007 – 2013 by the Foundation (P. Chara, G. Sepołowicz, P. Kaczorowski) and “Zachodniopomorskie Towarzystwo Przyrodnicze” (Ł. Ławicki, S. Guenzel, etc.). The observations were made on two reservoirs measuring several hectares (“Kaleńsko” and “Chlewice”) formed as a result of exploiting gravel deposits.
Artificial reservoir in Chlewice with low water level.
Surprisingly, those reservoirs became a “magnet” for birds. The reasons for that are appropriate nesting conditions (rich shoreline and islands made of a sturdy, mineral foundation) that so many species seek. The lack of similar biotypes in valleys of the Odra and Warta rivers is related to the solidification and regulation of their riverbeds with stone fascines, which stopped the creation of (currently in irregular and large rivers) shallows and islands in the riverbed, which once functioned as natural nesting sites for the bird species mentioned above.
Artificial reservoir in Kaleńsko 2.
As birds lack similar habitats, those conditions attract a large number of them. This number can be recognized as significant in western Poland. Leaving out migrant birds (mostly ducks and waders, among them the terek sandpiper Xenus cincerus, which occurs very rarely in Poland, or caspian tern Hydroprogne caspia) for which both reservoirs are important places for rest, several bird species proceed to breed there every year. Among them are those listed in the Birds Directive, which includes: little tern Sternula albifrons, 2 – 4 pairs usually, in 2013 – 11 pairs, common tern Sterna hirundo, 2 – 4 pairs as well, in 2008 – 12 pairs, in 2013 – 14 pairs. What is more, 1 – 2 pairs of eurasian oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus(!) attempt to breed there each year, 3 pairs in 2009(!), common shelduck T. tadorna and little ringed plover Charadrius dubius, 1 – 3 pairs each year. Common redshank Tringa totanus and common sandpiper Actitis hypoleucos, 1 – 2 pairs every year. Even more species from the Birds Directive seek food around the bodies of water, those include: black stork Ciconia nigra, western marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus or osprey Pandion haliaetus. The photographical documentation visible below shows the bird species and their nesting conditions. All pictures were taken in the area of the reservoirs mentioned above.

The attractiveness (in case of breeding) of the reservoirs causes many nesting attempts. Birds attempt breeding mostly on islands and splits of the bodies of water, but very rarely do they succeed. A fully natural breeding success happened only once in the years 2006 – 2013 and was accomplished by common tern. Little tern (which is way rarer than the common tern) did not succeed even once (in 2013 a great amount of 11 pairs(!) participated in breeding, which is a record-breaking amount in western Poland). Eurasian oystercatcher, little ringed plover and common sandpiper lose their clutches in a similar fashion. Photographical documentation of the issue is visible below. The varying water level of the river is a direct or indirect cause of these issues. The nests are usually flooded by overflowed water (as in the years of 2007, 2011 and 2012) or are penetrated by predators due to the increased accessibility caused by low water level. The predators include American mink, raccoon, raccoon dog and fox. Leaving this case unnoticed causes drops in population of those valuable species, which breaks the statements of the Birds Directive.

The goal of the planned actions is to increase breeding effectiveness of birds in the valleys of the Odra and Warta rivers. The goal is going to be accomplished by creating habitats free of the dangers mentioned earlier. The main part of the project is to place three floating nesting platforms on the waters of the artificial reservoirs (there were once gravel mines) in Chlewice and Kaleńsko. The municipality of Boleszkowice is the owner of both bodies of water together with the company Minerały sp. z o.o., which owns a small part of one of them as well. Both organizations have signed a partnership deal, which enables the Foundation to implement the project in said areas. The project involves the installation of three floating platforms in order to imitate natural islands. The constructions are going to have a size of 100 m2 each and will be made from a sturdy material that is resistant to environmental factors. The top layer will be covered with a net, which then will be covered with sand of varying fractions, then another net will be placed, then even more soil. A fence made of sheet metal is going to be placed around it in order to keep land predators away. The platforms will be anchored to the ground below so that they remain stationary, their ability to float will prevent water level variations from influencing the clutches. It will be the first ever attempt to implement such a project in western Poland. Similar islands have been installed in April 2016 in Zalew Wiślany by a non-governmental company “Drapolicz” (www.drapolicz.org.pl , “Projekty” tab, and “Wyspy na zalewie”). The installation of the islands will not only solve the problem of breeding failures of the birds mentioned above but will also unarguably increase their count greatly.
The actions presented above will be implemented in the area of Natura 2000 “Dolna Odra” (PLB320003 and PLH320037).
Current active protection undertaken by the Foundation with the assistance of mine authorities in order to prevent man pressure (fishermen).
Construction of the floating platform that imitates a natural island.
The material, from which the platforms are built, is very sturdy and resistant to external conditions (it is used to build piers, which last for many years). The project’s partners have covenanted to protect its territory by signing partnership contracts. Moreover, the owner of the private sector (the mine) has been supporting pro ecological activity in the area for many years. Also, the durability of the project is assured because the project is not in conflict with exploitation of the mine or any other activity that could be conducted in the area. It is important to note that the platforms only take up a small fragment of reservoirs, which are positioned in areas that are outside of human interest. Close proximity to the Ujście Warty National Park (15 kilometers), which is visited by 50 000 (data from PNUW from 31.12.2012) yearly, allows us to predict their interest in this project. It is also expected that communities involved in the project will develop economically. The Foundation covenants to take care of the “islands” for years to come and conduct necessary renovations.
Advanced works on the subsequent development of the platform.
The marsh is going to be recreated on 2 hectares of wetland by flooding them in a controlled manner. To achieve this, the surface of the wetland will be modified so that it has a richer shoreline. Besides, the valve that controls the water level will be reconditioned to assure that the water level is high enough during the breeding seasons (until the end of July). Those actions are going to be implemented entirely in the area of Natura 2000 „Ujście Warty” PLC 080001. The close proximity to a national park, which is often visited by the birds, makes the marsh attractive for the birds, though, unfortunately, not many breed successfully because of varying water levels.
Another action involves building a system for live monitoring and the promotion of the area, its natural values and problematic aspects of protecting it, as well as educating local citizens. The project includes publishing (book and flyers), training courses for the locals that include school trips to the area included in the project, and encouraging the young to an active participation in protecting the wildlife of the islands.
The Foundation currently cooperates with facilities that have been focusing on studying and preserving the wildlife for a couple of years now. The partners of the project are: Ornithological Station PAN in Gdańsk, which expressed its interest in helping the project succeed, and Ornithological Station in Melitopol (Ukraine). Apart from those mentioned above, Ptaki Polskie Association declared its will to share their expert knowledge of the processes necessary for recreating marshes, the organization Drapolicz, which installed similar floating platforms in Zalew Wiślany, as well as two local communities and representatives of the economic sector. The partners of the project make a valuable contribution, which will undoubtedly ensure the successful realization of the project.

There are a few factors you should take into consideration for purchasing your touch screen gloves.
Fit: First and foremost, your gloves should fit comfortably and correctly. Naturally, some gloves will fit your hands better than others. An ill-fitting glove can render your touch screen gloves unusable.
Material: This goes for both the material of the glove and the material of the conductive fingertips. Gloves can be made of anything from leather to fleece. The fingertips are usually made of one of two materials, special thread or conductive leather.
Warmth: Most likely, you will be using these gloves during the winter. You want to be sure they provide plenty of warmth for even the chilliest of days.
Conductivity: The conductivity of the glove will tell you how well it can be used with your touchscreen device. The fingertip material, resistance, and the placement of the conductive tips all play into this.
Durability: Your gloves should be able to last you for more than one season. Ideally, they should be functional for many years to come. In general, the cheaper a pair of gloves are, the less durable they will be.
Ease of Use: Some gloves may make using touch screens easier than others. Unless you want to personally try every pair of touch screen gloves, the best way to gauge the usability is by reading reviews.

As a traveler, I love to watch vlogs showcasing gorgeous visuals and highest quality documentaries of tourist spots around the world. I wish the same for our local TV stations to promote our country's tourism. That's why I was so excited when I learned that GMA News TV, the country's leading TV network will be airing another top-notch travel show called Me & My Town. During the launch party for media and bloggers, I had a chance to get to know this show, Kathy San Gabriel the host and mingled with fellow blogger friends whom I haven't seen for a while.
Me and My Town is the newest Magazine and Travel show to hit Philippine TV which aims to promote the unique charm of cities and towns in the country by featuring its tourist attractions, food, culture and the arts. This highlights the beauty of the Philippines with a different twist. Aside from the experiences and perspective of our host, we’ll be featuring a prominent personality who is a native of the place to tour us around and take us on a different adventure and discovery. No one knows a place better than someone who grew up there, right? So, expect every episode to be packed with insider travel tips and valuable information to entice every traveler to come and visit.
The target viewers of Me and My Town are mostly millennials traveling on a budget. However, I am sure that this travel show will feature mostly destinations that are suitable for all ages. It could be a kid who is eager to try the newest built theme park, a balikbayan who wants to taste his childhood favorite local food in his hometown or a couple looking for an affordable staycation over the weekend.
The viewers will witness the remarkable fusion of history and modernization of Imus through its historical sites, culture and food. Imus is also known for its thriving businesses that create jobs for many Imuseño, so watch out as well while they visit factories that depict the growing city.
Congressman Alex “AA” Advincula will be the first local slash guest of Me and My Town showing Kathy, the team and of course the viewers all the nice things about Imus. From the historic site of “Battle of Imus” to the newly constructed hospital and schools – he will show us how his vision of the city has come to life through his projects and infrastructure programs. Witness a different kind of Imus beyond its modern places and busy streets.
What I personally like about this travel show is that it features lesser-known destinations in the Philippines. When we think of vacation, by default we say Palawan or Boracay. This show will prove to us that every town in the country is a destination itself and it also has a story to. Hosted by veteran broadcast journalist, Kathy San Gabriel, Me and My Town is produced by The Concept Workshop which airs every Sunday, 9:30 am on GMA News TV channel 11. The first episode will feature the historic city of Imus, Cavite.

I received an email a few weeks ago stating "Hussman has been so wrong I should stop quoting him."
Nonetheless here I go again, because I think Hussman has something important to say. Please consider a few admittedly lengthy snips from his post today Pills for Cognitive Dissonance in a Speculative Bubble.
Several years of persistent yield-seeking speculation provoked by zero-interest rate monetary policies have created a fertile ground for cognitive dissonance. On one hand, any observer with historical perspective knows not only that the overvaluation from this kind of speculation inevitably ends in tears, but also that the heavy issuance of new speculative and low-quality securities during the bubble finances and enables unproductive malinvestment that leaves the economy far worse off in the end. On the other hand, prices have been advancing.
It’s difficult to entertain both of those facts at once. One must simultaneously hold in mind reckless yield-seeking speculation, hypervaluation that rivals the 1929 and 2000 equity market peaks (see Yes, This is an Equity Bubble), zero interest rates, low prospective long-term returns all around, and persistent malinvestment that poses increasing systemic risks for the entire global economy, plus one fact that encourages us to forget it all: prices have been going up. Cognitive dissonance tempts us to reconcile this tension by ignoring one part of the story or another.
One would think the Federal Reserve would have learned from that catastrophe. Instead, the Fed has spent the past several years intentionally trying to revive the precise dynamic that produced it. As a consequence, speculative yield-seeking has now driven the most historically reliable measures of equity valuation to more than double their pre-bubble norms. Meanwhile, as investors reach for yield in lower-quality but higher-yielding debt securities, leveraged loan volume (loans to already highly indebted borrowers) has reached record highs, with the majority of that debt as “covenant lite” issuance that lacks traditional protections in the event of default. Junk bond issuance is also at a record high. Moreover, all of this issuance is interconnected, as one of the primary uses of new debt issuance is to finance the purchase of equities.
At present, the most historically reliable valuation measures are more than 100% above pre-bubble historical norms. Investors who dismiss present market valuations by reflexively parroting the phrase “lower interest rates justify higher valuations” haven’t thought carefully about the problem or done the math, and that math is just basic arithmetic.
Make no mistake – this is an equity bubble, and a highly advanced one. On the most historically reliable measures, it is easily beyond 1972 and 1987, beyond 1929 and 2007, and is now within about 15% of the 2000 extreme. The main difference between the current episode and that of 2000 is that the 2000 bubble was strikingly obvious in technology, whereas the present one is diffused across all sectors in a way that makes valuations for most stocks actually worse than in 2000.
“There are times when an investor has no choice but to behave as though he believes in things that don’t necessarily exist. For us, that means being willing to be long risk assets in the full knowledge of two things: that those assets may have no qualitative support; and second, that this is all going to end painfully. The good news is that mankind clearly has the ability to suspend rational judgment long and often."
“Remember the film The Matrix? Morpheus offered Neo the choice of two pills – blue, to forget about the Matrix and continue to live in the world of illusion, or red, to live in the painful world of reality… I have long thought of myself as one of the enlightened. My much thumbed copy of Kindelberger’s Manias, Panics and Crashes aided and abetted my thinking as I correctly anticipated and monetised profits from the crisis of 2008 for example. But it isn’t always good. Kindelberger has been absolutely detrimental to my investment performance for the last six years and as a result I have changed. I still believe that the attempt by central bankers to prevent the private sector from deleveraging via a non-stop parade of asset price bubbles will end in tears. But I no longer think that anyone can say when."
“It seems possible that there is a catch. If no-one can say when, then the ‘blue pill’ strategy has a major weakness. It means that things could just as easily go haywire next week as next year. It should be noted that the focus of Austrian business cycle theory is really on the boom, its chief causes and effects, and the fact that instead of increasing prosperity, it will lead to impoverishment in the long run. The major difference between someone simply taking the blue pill and an ‘Austrian’ investor in the current situation is probably that the latter attempts to incorporate all possible outcomes in his strategy, instead of trusting that central bank interventionism will continue to ‘work’ for investors.
“We believe that there is a grave danger associated with simply ‘taking the blue pill.’ First of all, in the context of ‘risk assets,’ having faith in central bank magic is most definitely not a contrarian position anymore – less so than at any other time in the past six years. Contrarian views have actually worked very well in treasury bonds and crude oil in 2014, so it would also be quite wrong to state that ‘contrarianism no longer works’ as a general proposition. The majority is of course always right during a strong trend. However, there inevitably comes a time when a trend has lasted long enough and gone far enough that the ranks of doubters have been thoroughly thinned out and the majority ceases to be correct.
“We perceive a ‘greater tolerance for short term drawdowns’ as quite dangerous in connection with risk assets at this juncture. In asset bubbles there are usually a number of short term breakdowns that are immediately followed by prices moving to new highs, a fact that greatly cements the confidence of market participants – usually to the point where it becomes fateful overconfidence. The main problem with this ‘tolerant’ approach is that one simply cannot differentiate a run-of-the-mill short term correction from a short term downturn that ends up heralding something far worse. Initially, all corrections look similar… The initial downturn is never seen as a cause for alarm. Sometimes this can however be followed by a decline so swift that having a tolerance for drawdowns can end up leaving one with very big losses in a very short time period.
“Such sudden reassessments of market valuation can rarely be tied to specific fundamental developments. Rather, anything that is reported is all of a sudden interpreted negatively and becomes a trigger for more selling, even though similar news would have been shrugged off a few days or weeks earlier. After all, nearly every economic news item can be interpreted in a number of different ways, so that even superficially good news can become a problem (in the current situation they could e.g. create fears of a faster tightening of monetary policy).
My own view is that Hendry and Tenebrarum are both right – only that the appropriate pill is conditional on the state of investor preferences toward risk-seeking and risk-aversion – preferences that can be largely inferred from observable market action.
My take on the switch by Hugh Hendry is along the lines of Pavlov's Dogs Classical Conditioning.
In his initial experiments, Pavlov rang a bell and then gave the dog food; after a few repetitions, the dogs started to salivate in response to the bell. Pavlov called the bell the conditioned stimulus because its effects depend on its association with food.
As related to the stock market, every time stocks dipped, bears thought "this was the one". Yet, every dip was nothing more than a bell-ringing buy opportunity, often times coupled with lovie-dovie statements by someone on the Fed.
Even minor dips were bell-ringers. Finally, at long last Hendry has been trained.
And sure enough, right on cue today, San Francisco president Fed’s Williams says Rate Hikes Should be Gradual Because Economy Still Needs Help.
Whether Williams is purposely attempting to smooth the stock market is subject to debate. What's not subject to debate is past reactions. Many stock market reversals over the past few years have come from similar Fed statements.
Today we don't see one, at least yet. Curiously the dollar and gold are both up. The Dow was down over 300 points but has recovered a bit.
As always, one day proves nothing. But that's the problem for those on the blue "buy the dip" pill isn't it?
One never knows when this is the dip that isn't bought. When the final dog has been trained, the pool of dip buyers is exhausted. Yet, investors (aka fully trained dip buyers), keep expecting reversals that don't come, deploying more and more cash all the way down.
Was Hugh Hendry the final dog?

Dairy contains a balanced ratio of phosphorus (essential mineral for bone development) and calcium (needed for healthy bones, nerve function, blood clotting, muscle and heart contractions). This is important because the ratio of phosphorus to calcium in dairy aids in calcium absorption and that's why including dairy in the diet is so important as you get older. Even more so since we're more susceptible to osteoporosis as we age. The good news is we can essentially side step this issue if we're absorbing calcium properly which dairy can provide.

Brazil great Pele says he is "so sad" to hear Dani Alves will miss the World Cup finals due to injury.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed on Friday that the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) full-back requires surgery on a cruciate ligament injury sustained in the Coupe de France final.
Alves has therefore been ruled out of contention for the tournament in Russia, at which he had been tipped to be named captain by Brazil coach Tite.
Pele went into the 1958 finals – where he won the first of his three trophies – with injury and was also hurt during the 1966 campaign in England, and he has some sympathy for his compatriot.
"I am so sad to hear this," the 77-year-old tweeted. "Footballers hate missing games but I know first-hand that missing #WorldCup games is the worst feeling."
CBF doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed at a news conference that Alves will likely be out of action for about six months after his operation.
"There is no mathematics. It's around six months," he said.
"Of course, he was very upset. He's a very experienced player, on the eve of the World Cup. He has a balance and strength. He wanted to know what he needed to do to play in the same condition he was before.
"He immediately turned the page to recover as fast as possible. He wants to recover as fast as possible."
The Alves news is a blow to Tite's plans, with the 35-year-old having been confirmed back in February as one of the 15 players certain to make the final squad.
Brazil are relatively short on right-back options, with Manchester City's Danilo and Bayern Munich's Rafinha the most likely to start their World Cup opener against Switzerland on June 17.

Dateline gets to the heart of the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York and questions whether the financial world can ignore such a huge demonstration in its midst.
“This isn’t just a game, this is the future of this country. It’s actually the future of the world”, insists the economist Jeffrey Sachs. Lawyer Burt Neuborne took on many of the biggest civil rights era cases in New York. He feels that this movement, while in its infancy, has that kind of potential. “It is at the emotional outpouring stage and it hasn’t matured yet, but it will. It will.” The movement so far is an instinctive one, responding to the pain of recession and the deep inequalities in society. However, while the protestors may have been accused of not having a clear set of aims, they have a very clear idea of the problems they are reacting to. “Those at the top 1% are making it impossible for the rest of us to live decent lives”, one protestor tells us. Most educated onlookers feel that it is this sense of moral justice that will sustain the movement and help it spread, despite its early lack of direction. As economist Moshe Adler points out,“Occupy Wall Street is a cry for economic democracy. It is not concrete enough yet, but it is providing a kernel around which a movement to call for change can coalesce”.

IOTA accumulates a lot of knowledge and shares information which is an integral part of the identity and brand of IOTA. However, nowadays tax authorities operate within a rapidly-changing environment, facing several emerging challenges. The present publication service of IOTA needs a revision and adjustment in order to meet the new requirements and in order to serve better the particular needs of the membership: IOTA has to deliver practical and applicable publications for its members.
The publication activity of IOTA has to find more adequate responses and new approaches for giving the community of tax practitioners easier access to knowledge. IOTA also has to identify its scope of publication activity compared to other international organisations.
A Network of Communication Specialists of IOTA Tax Administrations will be established which will facilitate sharing and gaining information.
New channels (new website) will be used for IOTA publications and newsletters to reach out more members and international partners.
Publication Disclosure and Information Confidentiality Policy will be developed to ensure responsible handling of data and information provided. The ongoing database projects, such as Knowledge Base, TIP/ISORA makes this issue even more relevant.
Annual publication plan will be developed and included in the IOTA Work Programme to make the publication activity more consistent.
‘Highlighted’ events will be specified which would serve as basis for publications.
Exact rules and procedures for sponsorship of publications will be set out.
Definition of a priority publication considered as a flagship product of the organisation is crucial for IOTA to be able to concentrate efforts and resources for the most relevant product: the Best Practice Guide.
Work Programme planning process to ensure consistent delivery and to facilitate use of resources.
It is important to try to avoid producing publications about issues other international organisations have released earlier. One of the possibilities of avoiding duplications is to release joint publications in relevant subjects, in topics of common interests. International cooperation could be enhanced by complimentary publications activity.
Develop efficient methods to increase contribution from membership to producing IOTA publications. The publications (and communications activity) of IOTA has to rely on the wide knowledge and experience of its various members and has to be implemented via common efforts.
Develop new channels of sharing information, make it easier to reach, to follow and to contribute to it. The two core channels are the website and the newsletter with up to date and relevant information with emphasis on content instead of procedures.
One of IOTA’s main assets is that it has a vast database and information. However, a significant part of it is not public and unauthorised use and disclosure would harm the interests of taxpayers and the reputation of tax administrations. The ongoing database projects, such as Knowledge Base, TIP/ISORA makes this issue even more relevant. It is also crucial from the perspective of our aim to increase publication contributions from the membership: we have to ensure that the provided data and information will be handled in a responsible way.
The new website of IOTA provides a safe environment for storing confidential information and database and adequate access levels to different types of information.
Using effective and modern informative communication technology tools. Online publications, webinars, videoconferences facilitate sharing of information with external actors.
An annual publication plan will be developed and included in the IOTA Work Programme planning process. ‘Highlighted’ events will be specified which would serve as basis for publications.
Establish a Network of Communication Specialists of IOTA Tax Administrations. The members of the Network will be chosen by PCP’s from their tax administrations. The work will be led and coordinated by the Secretariat (Communications and Publications Specialist) under supervision of the Executive Secretary. The Network will assist IOTA’s publication activity, such as finding contributors for publications, advising how different target groups could be reached, sending information about relevant and current issues could be the interest of tax administration members, etc.
Rebalance the responsibilities (decision making, approval, etc.) of publication activity: increase the ownership of the Executive Secretary (and the Secretariat) in defining, launching, producing, monitoring. The EC will approve only the Best Practice Guide. ES will regularly report about the publication activity to EC and to PCP (part of status reports) and they can advise.
Setting out the exact rules and procedures for sponsorship and co-sponsorship of publications (requirements from sponsors, invitations, evaluation of offers, selection of sponsors, review, signing off by the Executive Council, etc.). It is necessary to link it to the work program and to the Project Management Framework and to incorporate those rules into existing IOTA procedures. Sponsorship means more than offering financial resources: it could be offering human resources (e.g. authors, contributors, editors) from members.
Secretariat will intensify efforts in order to find potential authors. The expertise and networking skills of TAC’s will be more devoted to the publication activity. It is also important to increase feedback from membership, e.g. about follow up of events.
Develop a Publication Disclosure and Information Confidentiality Policy to ensure that the right audience has access to the right information and the collected information is well stored and handled. This policy will describe the classification, treatment and release principles of data and information gathered by IOTA. It will also make differentiation between publications for internal use (members only), for restricted external use (as for e.g. the TIP/ISORA project – sharing info with IMF, OECD etc.) and publication for the general public. This policy deals with different levels of access to the website for users and with different level of information and data stored on the website as well. The policy will be elaborated by a devoted group of experts. The main direction of this policy will be: ‘to keep it simple’: unless there is indication of confidentiality (classification) from the sender, IOTA considers the material public.
A section will be dedicated to posting single articles (working papers, IOTA studies) as soon as they are ready, in order to increase timeliness and frequency. Those articles will be combined at a later stage for complete publications.
News items will be one of the most important channels of sharing information, with a clear and central position on the homepage of the website and also as a different menu item.
Newsletters will be created again in order to regularly inform our members and partners about our activities ad products.
It is important to send emails about new publications, to distribute newsletters, etc.
IOTA will move towards online publications as it requires less financial sources and at the same time it reaches out wider audience. Consistent online / web presence ensures wider access with less costs. A good online approach also requires specified skills and manpower in order to obtain good results and visibility. It is also important to recognize that the produce of hard copies in certain cases could also fulfil useful purposes (e.g. PR, marketing). Optimal solution is to produce everything in electronic version in the first round and in the second round we produce the necessary number of hard copy samples.

This rather fragile proposal for a bridge comes from a lot of research and investigation from Heatherwick Studios in London. It, too, creates a bridge over a canal. Although not yet built, it is a design which I hope comes to fruition one day. The idea of a pure glass bridge is a beautiful idea.

When Alberta’s first New Democratic Party (NDP) government swept to power in 2015, it inherited over four decades of Progressive Conservative (PC) energy policies, including development of the Alberta oil sands that by 2015 had become the key driver of the province’s economy.

I thought I could rhyme but what for anyhow?
the world has been asking for it for thousands of years and my fog, meaningless and infinitesimal, still wants to play hide-and-seek.
I miss you, I said, but I missed you so much I didn’t really believe I meant it when I said it.
I understand now, I really do; I see what you meant when you said nothing and wrote word after line after page after book and universe after universe and swallowed me whole.
And yes, words are smoke and I still love them and somehow I hate them even more and I hate them and hate them and I want to tear them off my walls and scratch them out of my skin and smother them in the mind of my mind before they can learn how to breathe.
You were wrong, the words can’t save me. Not the words, not the music, not your universe with all its vacuum and airlessness and weightlessness and most of all – not me.
I can’t do it; I won’t, I refuse to refuse this refusal and I refuse to try to save me.
It’s the most ridiculous word tonight, SAVE: such puny letters, such a stupid sound, such a meaningless meaning.
Don’t ask me, I’ll just refuse some more.

Among the prints on sale will be the remaining few of a special limited edition of 1974’s “Relayer”, as well as other classic designs and logos.
Yes will release a 5 album/6LP vinyl box set entitled “Yes: The Steven Wilson Remixes”, on June 29. Available on vinyl for the first time, the package will present Wilson's remixes of five of the band's classic studio albums: 1971’s “The Yes Album”, “Fragile” (1971), 1972’s “Close To The Edge”, the double album “Tales From Topographic Oceans” (1973), and “Relayer” (1974).
While in town for back-to-back shows at The Fillmore, Yes will appear for a Q&A session at the YesFanFest - 50 True Summers US fan convention at The Foundry in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, July 21; various Yes alumni, including Patrick Moraz and Tom Brislin, will be performing at the event, as well.

Who was the gardener? There wasn't one here. Have a look at Post Office Cottages.
When Matt Hewson, Ray Winfarrah and John Ollard were making up the names for the cottages, they ran out of ideas and Gardener's it became for want of anything else.
Possibly the Hewletts lived here in the 1970s until George Dale packed up farming in 1984.

Google Inc. is staying well armed in at least one aspect of the ongoing battle for Silicon Valley talent.
The Mountain View, Calif., Internet company has faced a wave of competition in hiring in recent years thanks to younger Internet firms like Facebook Inc. So Google is seeking to remain a talent magnet, partly through an above-average average salary for engineers, according to a new study from job listings and information site Glassdoor.
According to the study, Google software engineers earn an average base salary of $128,336, ahead of Facebook’s $123,626. Apple Inc. registered at $114,413 this year, the study says, while eBay Inc. pays $108,809 and Zynga Inc. stands at $105,568.
For companies like Facebook and Zynga, which have seen the value of employee equity stakes tumble following their respective IPOs, base salary takes on more importance in terms of overall compensation.
Google, meanwhile, has sought to make salary a key selling point. Last year, the company issued an across-the-board, 10% raise to all employees.
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment, as did a spokeswoman at Apple. Spokespeople for Facebook, Zynga and eBay didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
While Google may be ahead in terms of engineer base salaries, Facebook appears to be closing the gap, Glassdoor says. According to the study, the average salary difference between the firms narrowed to $4,710 this year from $6,852 in the prior year.
Most of the top Silicon Valley firms listed in the Glassdoor report remain comfortably ahead of the national average for a software engineer’s base salary, which stands at $92,648. That’s a 2.5% increase compared to last year, Glassdoor says.

Anyone remember Scrat? The hopeless little squirrel dude from the Ice Age movies, who was forever chasing his beloved acorn across the frozen wastes of the distant past.
Well, now it seems like dear old Scrat, or one of his relatives, has done something useful (as unlikely as that might seem to fans of the movies).
Scientists working in the permafrost of Siberia have uncovered a treasure trove of fruit and seeds which were buried deep in the ice, and by extracting tissues from the fruit remnants and performing near-magical feats of regenerative science on them, have managed to create a flower from them.
The amazing thing? That little squirrel buried its trove of seeds over thirty thousand years ago.
Arthur C. Clarke once wrote that ‘Any sufficiently advanced technologyis indistinguishable from magic’. This incredible feat proves Clarke’s theorem. Humanity has throughout its existence created tails of voodoo and necromancy, dead men walking and mystic shamans with the power to bring long-lost memories back to life. And now, thanks to the miraculous dedication and craftsmanship of scientists, a white flower called Silene stenophylla is blooming for the first time in 30,000 years. Literally, brought back to life.
The Russian scientists are not the first to regenerate a lost flower, but S. stenopyhlla is thought to be the oldest yet revived. And the scientists, not lacking ambition, are already talking about using the same process to bring back Scrat-type squirrels themselves, or even great woolly mammoths, if only they can find the correct remains.
"The squirrels dug the frozen ground to build their burrows, which are about the size of a soccer ball, putting in hay first and then animal fur for a perfect storage chamber," said Stanislav Gubin, one of the authors of the study, who found the squirrel burrow a whopping 38 metres below the ice. "It's a natural cryobank."

When location scouts from the show Portlandia call to use your gym, you say yes.
That’s what happened to Janan Bejaige — owner of Rebel Health NW — a renaissance woman of fitness and a longtime Portland resident.
Bejaige, a well known personal trainer around Portland, built her home gym in 2012 and outfitted it with elite equipment and fitness gadgets. The idea was to create a personal, intimate, and quiet space. It was the perfect setting for show producers filming Season 8, Episode 10 — the final episode of the quirky and offbeat show that helped put Portland on the map.
Having the gym featured on Portlandia’s series finale was unexpected and thrilling to Bejaige. It all started when the show was filming in a neighborhood park and producers were looking for a nearby gym. The location scout — who Bejaige knew from her early bartending days — reached out about shooting a scene at Rebel Health. It was an opportunity of a lifetime to have her gym showcased, with hundreds of thousands of viewers tuning in to watch the final episode.
In the gym scene, which took about 4-hours to shoot, the main characters, Fred and Carrie, have decided to sign up for the Portland Marathon as a distraction from all the depressing news. They join a gym and hire a trainer named Bailey. In the process of training them, Bailey flirts endlessly with Carrie, lavishing her with praise the entire time while completely ignoring Fred. The ending provides a funny twist on why she is doing this.
While the filming took place both inside and outside her house — including a giant green screen in their front yard — Bejaige, her wife, and several friends and neighbors sat on the porch and watched it all unfold. Portlandia’s director, Bill Benz, asked Bejaige to be in a scene for another storyline so she went down to the wardrobe trailer with main actress Carrie Brownstein’s dad who was there for the filming and in the same storyline. Bejaige says while it is difficult to see her in the final cut, the entire experience was a lot of fun.
You can watch the full episode of Portlandia’s series finale here by signing up at IFC.
One of my greatest achievements was being named Student of the Year in the sixth grade. I’m not kidding. It really was a big deal, especially for my mom. Only two students get the award. What I realized is how this recognition helped me see myself as exceptional, academic and industrious regardless of what underpinned the actual award.
I look back on my career having spent years in journalism, including as a longtime producer for CNN, and I realize the significance of that moment in my life, even if it was just a simple 6th grade award. Now, I am a business woman and as I take on the challenges that come from growing my business I am applying the same feelings of that undaunted 12-year-old girl who didn’t understand that she should be scared.

Are You Ready to Bring Your Puppy Home?
Remember .... A dog can bring joy and happiness to any home when care and thought is given to its needs. The time and effort spent will be returned many times over in companionship, devotion and unquestioned love.
Now you understand some of the things the future holds in store for you and your new family member, you are ready to select your puppy and bring him home. Congratulations. But before you collect the puppy, you need to have prepared for him to come home.
First and foremost, are your premises secure? Whether your choice of breed is large or small, you must have secure premises; no gaps or holes in fences, no gates without proper locks. Also remember steps and stairs; can the puppy get under the house, or can he escape into the front garden or onto the street? You must ensure the puppy is safe and secure at all times.
Have you prepared the puppy’s area and sleeping quarters? Whether the puppy is to live in the house or in the yard, he NEEDS an AREA TO CALL HIS OWN. A safe comfortable kennel outside, a box or basket inside, it doesn’t matter, but the puppy must have his own place. Two spots are ideal, one inside and one outside and a good supply of blankets and bedding will be necessary.
Have you purchased the puppy’s food and equipment? Have you asked the breeder what food to buy so your puppy can start off eating what he has been accustomed to? A change of diet usually causes diarrhoea, so if you want to change the puppy’s basic food, you need to do it gradually. Regardless of the breed you have selected, in addition to the puppy’s food and bedding, he will need food and water bowls, a collar, lead and brush. A daily brush not only keeps your dog’s coat in good condition, but is part of the socialising and bonding process. A small, light collar and a light lead are essential in the early weeks to facilitate lead training. As the puppy grows, a heavier collar and/or lead and additional grooming equipment will probably be necessary.
Now it’s time to collect the puppy .... If you are happy with your preparations and both you and your family are ready for some busy days and sleep-disturbed nights, then it’s time to pick up your new little charge. When you go to collect the puppy remember there are other things you will need to take home with you. Vaccination records, perhaps signed registration certificate and a copy of the pedigree. A puppy care and diet sheet must be provided.
Your breeder is there to help you, so don’t be afraid to call for advice as your puppy settles in.
The transition to the puppy’s new home environment. The transition from mother and kennel mates to a new home is probably the most dramatic change your dog will ever go though! So make it easy for him and you! Your puppy will be counting on you to provide security, love and affection. A puppy crate or big open cardboard box with an old blanket is ideal to take him home in. The ideal time to bring a puppy home is when he is about 8 to 10 weeks of age. This is the period when a puppy learns the most, and is ready to learn. His first day in a new place will be most exciting for him. He will experience new smells, a car ride, new people and strange places. Collect your puppy early in the day so he has time to “suss out” his new home before going to bed “on his own”! Keep yourself and your children calm and quiet. Don’t let him get over-excited or over-tired and allow the puppy to look around at his own pace. Show the puppy his water bowl and his bed and have his newspaper in the spot where you wish the puppy to relieve himself.
will be sleeping. Do not scold the puppy if he has an accident, and never rub his nose in it! Most puppies will not soil their bed and are usually quick to learn that outside is the correct place to go. After a few weeks most puppies will be house-trained.
Health requirements – have you consulted your vet? Your puppy will have had his first vaccination and have been treated for worms by his breeder. The puppy will require vaccinating again at 12 and 16 weeks of age, and worming at approximately 10 and 12 weeks. Consult your vet on products available for worming, flea control and heartworm prevention. If you do not have plans for future breeding, de-sexing is recommended.
Have you considered the needs of your other pets? Do not change the habits or routine of existing pets when you bring a new puppy home. They might feel a bit jealous, especially as the new puppy will need constant attention with housetraining and other things, and of course three or four meals each day. Give them time to acquaint themselves. The first meeting is best done outside rather than inside the house, as there is more space for both to feel comfortable or to escape if the going gets tough. Supervise the introduction and only let them play for short periods at a time. You don’t want either of them to get over-excited or hurt. You can gradually increase the time they spend playing together until they settle down, but you must always be near to supervise them.
Calm, patience and attention .... Your puppy will probably take a few days to settle down at night as the puppy will miss his mother and litter-mates and is sure to cry, howl or bark when left alone. Do not shout at the puppy or smack him, do not give in to him. If you go to puppy once during the night, he will howl again every time you leave him. A toy to cuddle up with or a ticking clock may well be appreciated and help the puppy settle. In the first few weeks, you must give the puppy your constant attention. You can teach him some basic commands, like “sit” and “come”, or play ball to teach him to “fetch”. Always be patient with the puppy, give him plenty of reassurance, praise and cuddles.

Developing adequate power supply for Africa is one of the great challenges of our time.
The climate agreement in Paris in December at COP 21 makes clear the global consensus that our energy future needs to be green and sustainable. Renewables are the way forward and can compete at market prices.
In telecoms, Africa has managed to skip a generation of development and has gone directly to mobile networks. The same can be done for renewables. Africa can develop its energy resources without having to make investments in older forms of power generation and grids.
Despite increases in generation capacity, sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in the world where the number of people without access to electricity is set to rise, from less than half the population today to more than two thirds in 2030. If current trends continue, billions of people will be denied access to a better quality of life.
Renewable energy is uniquely placed to provide solutions to Africa’s energy challenge. Wind and solar are not only carbon free, but they are scalable, easy to install and appropriate to today’s level of technology.
In a number of countries solar energy is now cheaper than wind on high radiation sites, which in turn is cheaper than gas, which is cheaper than new coal, which is cheaper than oil. All are cheaper than new nuclear. In South Africa, new onshore wind is already half the projected cost of new coal power.
Over the past five years, the cost of wind has come down by 55 percent, while solar has fallen by 80 percent. This is the classic J-curve at work. It is a product of economies of scale, greater efficiency and, of course, breakthroughs in technology.
In the case of solar PV every time global production doubles, unit costs fall by 24 percent. It is analogous to Moore’s Law for the microchip. We are not yet at the bottom of the downward cost curve for renewable energy technologies.
In their report published to coincide with the Copenhagen COP summit in 2009, the IEA predicted that there would be 20GW of solar PV installed in the world by 2015. The actual figure is 180GW. Wind has enjoyed a similar trajectory, far outpacing official predictions, as costs have fallen. Not only are wind and solar energy now cost competitive with fossil fuels, but the cost of fossils is rising even at a time of weak global demand.
Transitions towards renewable power in South Africa, in Chile, and in many other countries are remarkable, given that coal and gas generators in many countries are not yet paying a carbon price for their generation. Now, under the global agreement signed at COP21, the world looks set to increase the pace of progress towards adequate carbon pricing.
The Chinese have already chosen carbon pricing as their primary policy instrument for reducing carbon emissions, as the EU did a decade ago. So have many US cities. When the price of carbon reaches $32 per tonne, as it inevitably will by 2030, the game will be finally over for fossil fuels.
In 2008, I founded Mainstream Renewable Power to develop wind and solar generation in Europe, the Americas and Africa. One of Mainstream’s founding objectives was to develop renewable energy in emerging markets, recognising that the world was on a one-off transition to sustainability.
We have now delivered three of Africa’s first large-scale wind and solar plants in commercial operation in 2014, while establishing ourselves as the leading developer of renewables projects in South Africa. We are also bringing forward a further 1,100MW of generation capacity across Ghana, Egypt and South Africa with additional projects in a number of other countries.
Wind and solar energy are supplying low-cost, low-carbon, and highly reliable generation today. They are already generating the electricity that will power the cities, homes and businesses of tomorrow.
Africa has a clear sustainable path to its energy future. It is one where wind and solar energy will deliver affordable and dependable electricity across the continent on large grids and micro-grids, in large cities and in small rural villages. In the not too distant future, people will wonder why we ever did anything else.
Eddie O’Connor is the CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power.

The Green River lies in a wide river canyon. Its banks are lined with giant old cottonwood trees intermingled with juniper and pinion. The green of the trees stands in stark contrast to the rock cliffs, making this one of the most beautiful – and little appreciated – canyons in Utah. You’ll encounter rapids four of the five days – over 50 in all! This is more rapids than on any other Tag-A-Long rafting vacations! These are good natured rapids, easy to learn on and play in. The whitewater is rolling and playful in disposition yet give eager students the opportunity to learn to read and negotiate the river. You can choose your own vessel, too: inflatable kayak, family paddle raft, or the “mother” raft.

During my time at YDI, I was given the chance to create the design for the signage program for The Hotel at University of Maryland in College Park, MD. The client was seeking something that felt modern but would be timeless. This hotel features: about 300 rooms, a ballroom, several boardrooms, 4 restaurants, an amenity area with a Red Door Spa, and a 9-level garage.
For the interior signage, primary concept was to keep the forms simple for a sleek and modern look with high contrast. All of the signage is acrylic, with primarily black rectangular backgrounds, using clear or grey sections to create contrast for wayfinding or amenity signage. I was able to create custom glyphs for this project which I made primarily rounded to reference the circular logo of The Hotel.
The parking garage was extremely colorful to easily differentiate levels. The form and graphics for all designs in the garage were created from the hotel logo and its use of the Maryland state flag. The round edges coming from the circle logo and the Crossland parts of the state flag, white the angle of the slant referenced the Calvert parts of the flag.

If you are replacing your skate plates, or building a new skate setup – choosing the correct size plate can be VERY confusing. We help you with that! On each of our skate plates you will see we ask you for your boot size, this makes it a lot easier for you.
Why do we do this? Each manufacturer does their sizing differently on their skate plates, so a size 4 in a SureGrip DA45 plate is going to be so different than a size 4 in a PowerDyne Reactor. The degree angle of your trucks also changes what number plate you need. This can make what size Sure-Grip plate you need change from one plate to another, so even within the same brand you do not use the same plate size.
Totally confused now? Yeah, we thought so.
We do have a list of plate sizing charts if you want to take a look. We also have a great Plates 101 article and Plate Parts Breakdown.
When you get ready to place your new skate plate order, just select your boot size and we will take care of it for you, if you prefer to notate what size plate you need, just type that in the order notes! As always please reach out to us with any other questions!

Headline inflation remained flat at 2.7% year-on-year, but core inflation excluding indirect taxes reached the inflation target, a trigger for the central bank to start policy normalization soon.
Headline inflation came in at 2.7% YoY in January, practically unchanged from the December CPI. However, this stability might be deceptive, with indications of accelerating underlying inflation. According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, fuel prices fell by 2.5% in a month, translating into a 3% YoY drop. This change alone dragged down inflation by almost 0.3ppt from the December reading. On the other hand, the significant tax changes, mainly for alcoholic and tobacco products, pushed inflation of these products higher, adding nearly 0.2ppt. Inflation in durables and services also increased. The yearly-based price change in services reached 2.8%, a rate not seen since 2014, while inflation in durables also accelerated to a 33-month high.
We expect headline inflation to hover around the 3% inflation target, due to the oil price effect. Core inflation is expected to accelerate further to 3.4% YoY in February. The tax effect in January came in at 0.24ppt and is expected to strengthen a bit - we expect core inflation excluding indirect taxes to rise above the target, reaching 3.1-3.2% YoY. This should provide more than enough ammunition for the NBH to pull the trigger in its March rate-setting meeting, starting the normalization with an adjustment in the stock of FX swaps and with a deposit rate hike.

While “word-of-mouth” or “referral” marketing may have been sufficient in the past, the majority of top law firms today are taking a much more strategic approach to their marketing efforts. In order to be competitive in the saturated personal injury law industry, many attorneys have made the smart move to outsource a lawyer marketing agency that can promote their legal services to a target market.
Delegating part or all of your legal marketing to a professional marketing agency can do a lot to improve your business. However, it is vital that you are highly intentional and selective in the hiring process. The same care should be devoted to choosing an attorney marketing agency as the employees who work at your firm every day. Whether you realize it or not, your agency will play an influential role in your legal practice and their performance will have a direct impact on your firm’s success rate and public image.
If you’ve decided to outsource your law firm’s marketing, how do you find an agency who will be sure to rise to the challenge? By asking the right questions. Whitehardt, an attorney advertising agency in Nashville, is one of the few major league players when it comes to lawyer marketing. We have more than a few words of wisdom to help you ask the right questions and find the marketing agency that best fits your firm.
First and foremost, do they specialize in attorney advertising? While this may sound obvious, there are tons of general marketing agencies out there that represent clients in a wide variety of industries. It’s important to ask this question up front because you don’t want to end up with an insufficient marketing agency that isn’t familiar with your specific field. Instead, you want to hire industry experts who understand the peculiarities of your niche.
Do they have knowledge of legal ethics and state bar rules? Speaking of industry peculiarities, attorneys have to adhere to state bar rules when it comes to advertising. While some states are stricter than others, your marketing agency should have hands-on knowledge of the rules governing your state.
What do they know about your competitors? Competitor research is an essential factor in any industry. The agency you choose should have a solid understanding of who your competitors are, what they’re doing and saying, and what you can do to stay ahead.
Do they have the resources necessary to make you a strong competitor? Commercials, digital marketing, website design, content marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click (PPC), the list goes on. There are many individual pieces that make up a successful marketing campaign for attorneys, so you need to ensure the agency you choose has the resources and manpower to effectively execute in each area.
It’s difficult to be an expert at every strategy under the marketing umbrella, so if you’re interviewing an agency that is a one or two-man show, consider it a red flag. Even if they are very knowledgeable, chances are they won’t be able to handle all the distinct components of your campaign with only two people. Instead, look for an agency with a team of individuals who are highly-trained experts in their specific areas of marketing.
Are they a stable firm that’s going to be around long-term? Let’s return to the example of the one or two-person agency. They may be smart, hard-working individuals but if their agency shows no sign of growth or stability that can sustain their business long-term, you probably don’t want to hire them. Instead, look for an agency that you can count on for the long haul.
A good agency will establish a relationship with your firm that may even start to feel like a friendship because you have developed such a lasting partnership. Plus, the stronger the relationship you have with your agency, the better they will understand your law firm’s mission.
Who will be providing the service or creating the product for you? Are they qualified? Many attorney marketing companies have a team of people whose sole job is to “sell” their services to you. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with sales, attorney marketing agencies with a strong sales culture can start to sound like a used car salesman who will say whatever is needed to get you to sign the dotted line.
Ask the question above to push past sales jargon and learn more about the people who will be creating and implementing your marketing strategies. Take it one step further and ask if you can speak to those team members directly. This will help you avoid falling prey to misleading sales pitches.
How do they measure success? Before hiring a marketing agency, you need to know how they measure the success of their services.
At Whitehardt, we don’t just make the phone ring. We analyze and improve every aspect of your firm to ensure you’re performing at peak efficiency.
How do we do that? With our CFO, Felix Eckhardt’s in-depth, data-driven approach. The “hardt” in “Whitehardt,” Felix has helped over 60 law firms raise their bottom line. With his guidance, our clients seamlessly maintain consistent and manageable caseloads.
To help monitor the workflow of his client’s caseloads, Felix developed a data-based management tool called the “Flag Report.” The data from the Flag Report provides weekly insights into how many calls your firm gets, how many of those calls turned into leads, all the way to your firm putting money in the bank. This comprehensive performance report each week makes it easy to identify potential problems. Additionally, these metrics can be compared with other law firms and help you implement new strategies. Completely unique to Whitehardt, the Flag Report is an invaluable tool that has made a huge difference in our client’s firms.
With proven tools like the Flag Report and Whitehardt’s years of experience helping law firms across the country, you can improve virtually every aspect of your firm.

tools and information may be more available but education/training and supportive infrastructures aren’t likely to be seeing new major investments, plans aren’t worth much if one doesn’t have the means to implement them, with the rise of plat-formed monopolies and the weakening of democratic states futuring is likely to remain in the hands of the tech-moneyed-elites as we see in places as diverse as San Francisco and Shenzhen.
I think of the parallel hype around “entreupenuership” and microloans et al which largely turned out to be ways for monied interests to extract wealth from poor communities and haven’t really created much in the way of community development.
When every accountant is now a data analyst and the cult of AGILE is hard to avoid how is futuring really different from management?

If you owe child support, your disability insurance benefits may count as income when the courts determine how much you have to pay.
When you become disabled, your disability insurance pays you benefits to replace your income while you recover or until the benefits period ends. Your disability insurance may be a policy you purchased yourself, or you may receive a group disability insurance policy through your employer. You can also get disability insurance benefits from the Social Security Administration.
If you owe child support, your disability insurance benefits may count as income when the courts determine how much you have to pay. In some states, you may be able to deduct your disability insurance premiums from the income you’re obligated to pay in child support.
There are no federal guidelines regarding disability insurance and child support, and states generally don’t make a big distinction between private disability insurance and Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) when calculating your income for child support purposes.
When listing the types of income that are factored in, most child support laws use the catchall phrase “disability insurance benefits”, which encompasses both types of disability insurance. However, depending on where you live, there may be some important differences.
Private disability insurance includes short-term disability insurance, which you usually purchase through your employer’s benefits program, and long-term disability insurance, which you usually purchase on your own. If you’re interested in learning about the difference, a licensed representative at Policygenius can help you select the type of disability insurance policy that fits both your needs and budget.
When you become disabled and you have disability insurance, the insurer pays you a monthly benefit amount. The benefit is equal to roughly 60% of your pre-tax income.
Each state has its own laws governing what types of income can be used to calculate your child support obligation, as well as other court-ordered supports like alimony. In addition to your salary, wages, tips, commissions, royalties, bonuses, and interest and dividends, states also consider disability benefits as income for this purpose. When a judge determines how much you have to pay in child support, you may be required by law to reveal any disability insurance benefits you receive.
As with other types of income, disability insurance benefits can be garnished if you don’t pay your child support.
Some states allow courts to require you to purchase life insurance to protect court-ordered support, but almost no state requires you to purchase disability insurance. Still, if you live in a state that authorizes courts to require non-custodial parents to purchase disability insurance, you may be able to deduct the premiums from your child support obligation or receive a credit for them.
Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) is open to anyone who’s worked the prerequisite number of years. While it doesn’t cost anything, it has a very strict definition of disability, and also pays a much smaller benefit.
As with long-term and short-term disability insurance, SSDI benefits are factored into your income for the purpose of determining your child support obligation. Likewise, these benefits can be garnished if you fail to make your child support payments.
When applying and getting approved for SSDI takes a long time, many SSDI recipients are also eligible to receive backpay. Back payment is equal to your disability award multiplied by the number of months that elapsed between becoming eligible for SSDI and becoming approved for benefits. This backpay can be used when determining your child support obligation, and it can be garnished just like your regular disability benefits.
Benefits from supplemental security income (SSI), a related program for blind or deaf people who have limited financial resources, cannot be garnished. In some states, qualifying for SSI also reduces the amount of SSDI that can be used to calculate your income. Your Medicare, Medicaid, and assistance from the TANF program are also not affected by child support obligations.
Your SSDI benefits may include dependent benefits, a sum of money given to SSDI recipients who also care for dependents. If you owe child support, some states allow you to apply dependent benefits to your child support payment, leaving you responsible only for the excess amount.
Because qualifying for Social Security disability insurance requires significant financial hardship – earning above a certain amount of income, the threshold for “substantial gainful activity”, can cause your benefits to end – you may be able to get a child support modification that lowers your payments while you’re disabled. You may have to submit the modification in court, but it could save you hundreds of dollars.
Be sure to submit the request as soon as possible, because they take time to process, and you could be stuck paying child support in accordance with the income you earned before you got disabled.

Learn self-defense, lose weight and live a happier, more confident life !

Super Kicks Karate in Ashburn is the best place to take adult karate classes! Our professional instructors have been teaching martial arts most of their adult lives, and have worked with literally thousands of adult men and women who want to get in shape, learn self defense, gain more flexibility and fitness, and earn their black belts.

Each level of training is slightly more advanced than the last, so every time you come to class, you are presented with a challenge.

Our flexibility training will improve circulation and mobility in your body, and enable you to demand what’s necessary from your body in order to perform the techniques. The repetition of the punches, blocks, and kicks will work your cardiovascular system, building strength in your heart and help you burn fat. Striking targets during class will develop strength and endurance, and give you the confidence you need in order to defend yourself. And the calisthenics that are required for your black belt test will challenge your muscles and help you shape and tone your muscles, getting you in the best shape of your life!

Philip Tolley’s journey to medicine began with a broken collarbone. After injuring it while playing football in high school, Tolley’s interest in becoming a doctor piqued as he experienced the long recovery process.
Phil Tolley will head off to Seattle to start a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency.
Last month, Dr. Tolley accepted the Ho Din Award, the most prestigious accolade a UT Southwestern Medical Center student can receive. Recipients represent the “ideal physician,” who demonstrates academic excellence and compassion within their communities. Tolley will receive the award—given out by the Southwestern Medical Foundation and in its 75th year—along with a $10,000 scholarship at Friday’s UT Southwestern commencement ceremony.
Tolley’s tether to sports continued during his undergraduate years at Oregon State University, where he majored in exercise and sports science and worked as an athletic trainer.
Then, as a first-year student at UT Southwestern, Tolley delved into research on facial reanimation surgery in relationship to facial paralysis. There, Tolley says, he found a sense of fulfillment as he saw patients improve and slowly gain back their smiles.
Recently, Tolley also served as president of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society campus chapter and helped create two new service committees directed toward aiding fellow classmates with preparation for board exams. He continued to stay on top of his class, maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
During his time at UT Southwestern, Tolley also developed another passion—teaching. He realized a natural love for it during his days spent as an anatomy teaching assistant.
Tolley plans to move to Seattle with his family for a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at University of Washington-affiliated hospitals.

If you have been following all the developments under the title “Outlook 2016”, you have seen a lot of improved systems brought out, all aimed directly at giving builders better access to a more rewarding experience understanding, building and flying their Corvair engine. In this story, I will show how all of these separate elements are interconnected to work for the builders who choose the Corvair.
For an example of how this works, lets look at a new builder’s path through 2016, and illustrate how having all the information connected will work to improve the new builder’s experience, and keep them focused on learning and progress. While we have many people contributing to the Corvair movement, let me take a moment to highlight two people who make things work smoothly, who’s understanding of IT work allows this new system to function for builders: Shelley Tumino and Rachel Weseman.
Above, Rachel Weseman from SPA. Among many other things, she is the organization and information at SPA. She works with builders every day, has attended a half dozen colleges, and co-hosted #23 and the Corvair Finishing School. In the field of communications she is particular skilled at making professional videos, which bring the ‘in person’ experience to larger groups of builders. Rachel is obviously known to every Panther builder, but also well known in the Sonex/Cleanex Community.
Outlook 2016 – New Email address for Corvair Communications.
Because this new address is also accessible to Rachel and Dan Weseman, they can step in and cover a tech question if I am not available.
Outlook 2016, New order page and distribution method.
Because orders are now covered by SPA, he gets an instant order confirmation, and it heads right out. Both Rachel, Dan and myself can review the order and tech support from any location, so I don’t have to be in the same state to be on the same page.
“Zen-vair” and “Piet-vair” Discussion Groups, your resource.
These lists are run by Phil Maxson and Terry Hand, and they stay on top of them with an active hand. We set up the lists together, and if any tech issue arrives beyond the scope of normal stuff, Phil or Terry alert me with a call, so I can assist directly. Both Phil and Terry have been to many Colleges, and they know most of the people on their lists from meeting them in person.
2016 Corvair College registration pages.
The sign up sheet asks a few questions to know if the builder is bringing an engine, and to know what stage in the process he is as, and what his goals are. Watch this: This information is relayed immediately from Shelley to Both myself, Rachel at SPA, and to Steve Glover. With this information, we can coordinate much better, making sure that the builder has everything he needs, from directions, to parts, table space and a warm welcome.
Corvairs at Oshkosh 2015 – Colleges #34 and #35 sign up info – Unicorns for sale.
This is right next to Dan and Rachel with the SPA booth in #615. Over a number of years we have coordinated to inspect and pick cores there, and deliver builder’s parts. Rachel always organizes the builder cook out after hours. It is one more small element of how builders benefit from having us work in a coordinated, joint approach.
We are still in the planning stages of the Fall air tour: Outlook 2016 – Fall Corv-air-tour, but one of the elements that will have a great impact on the success of the event, is having it covered in real time, and making many of the stops accessible to area builders. This is exactly the kind of task that Shelley and Rachel with their logistical skills can do very well, and the tour will reach many more people because of it.
The Corvair season in 2016 will wrap up with our 7th college in Barnwell: Outlook 2016, Corvair College #39, Barnwell SC, 11/11/16. Like the three other colleges in 2016, this one will also be fully coordinated between all the people working on it.
While we have had many good seasons in the past, I am personally looking forward to having a very good year in 2016, because the developments we have put in place will not only make things go much smoother for builders, but myself also. At my core, I am just another homebuilder, exactly like our builders, with the same thoughts, ideas, goals and dreams. Grace and I are very lucky to have many supporting people who make the Corvair movement much more than it could be just run by us.
If you are reading this, and the operation sounds like it will serve your personal goals in homebuilding, I say welcome aboard, make the Corvair movement your home in Homebuilding.

Reptile treatments update classic shoe silhouettes for spring. Whether in a pump or sandal form, the trend shape-shifts basic leather into scutes and scales. Aquazzura’s floral sandal uses a snakeskin-embossed leather as its blank canvas. Diane von Furstenberg’s slingback is cut from a printed snakeskin leather in grey. Claudia Ciuti’s leather sandal assumes a tritone metallic snakeskin finish. Alejandro Ingelmo’s patent leather pump is amplified with a holographic embossed-crocodile treatment. Whatever the species of choice, innovation in the approach is key.

In this aricle, Vanguard Ottawa correspondent Kofi Akosah-Sarpong argues that a Ministry of Chieftaincy will not only correct many of history’s wrongs but also help speed up Ghana’s development process despite fears of politicisation of this traditional institution by some analysts.
At my annual check up recently at the Eye Clinic of the Ottawa General Hospital, I met a Canadian who has worked in Africa for over 30 years for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). As we waited to be seen by our optometrists, we talked about Africa’s development. "African governments have to bring their traditional rulers on board the development process," he told me with authority. I replied, "But most Africans do not respect their traditional rulers because of what the colonialists and Africans governments have done to them". He responded, "But it can be changed with the right research and the right policies in the contemporary development climate." As our discussion progressed, I was surprised that a white man could have such a depth of knowledge about Africa’s values and her development process. That was in February this year.
In August this year, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean from Canada, down in Ghana, President John Kufuor, in his second term and with his eyes on history, is saying the same thing as the Canadian development worker. Thus making the case to involve African traditional rulers in the Ghanaian/African development process is having global appeal. The human mind appears to be linked by an invisible thread, as the German thinker, Karl Marx, would say. By hinting that the increasing spread of traditional chieftaincy quarrels necessitates the creation of a Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs to tackle development problems, Kufour opens up the doors for looking at Ghanaian traditonal rulers in relation to Ghana’s development process as the continental debate rages on in bringing African values, especially her traditional rulers, as key carriers of values, as key uploaders of development, to use an IT term, in the continent’s development process. Kufour’s chieftaincy ministry hint has also sparked global online discussions among some Ghanaian elites about the chieftaincy institution and the development process.
Such interests about Ghanaian chieftaincy and the current development challenges, after being for long neglected by Ghanaian elites and development experts, have come about because of the way the African nation-states were created by the colonialists, which saw African traditional rulers not only marginalised but also the colonialists imposed their values, sometimes violently, on the African development process, demean African values, calling them "primitive" and other unhelpful and terrible names, and in the process, created long-running complications and negative complexes that undermined Africa’s self-confidence and self-esteem in her development process. No doubt, despite the long-running emotionally-charged Pan Africanism ideology, the African, as Ghana’s Dr. Y.K. Amoako, former UN Economic Commission of Africa (ECA) executive secretary observes, the continent has the highest number of foreign development paradigms or values imposed on her development processes in the world.
Perhaps either lacking development process creativity or blinded by the British colonialist policies that did not put traditional rulers decisively on board the development process or inability to grasp the implications of one’s environment or values in the development process, Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah and his Convention Peoples Party (CPP) government, as Richard Rathbone, a professor of Modern African History at University of London, U.K, indicated in "Nkrumah & the Chiefs: The Politics of Chieftaincy in Ghana, 1951-1960," the CPP waged a long campaign to wrest control of the Ghanaian countryside from the traditional rulers and the CPP’s "frustrated attempts to democratize local government and the long and bitter campaigns mounted by many southern chiefs to resist their political marginalization." This caused fundamental changes not only on the history of Ghana but also the country’s development process by making the traditional rulers not key participants in the country’s development process. However, Dr. Daniel Tetteh Osabu-Kle, a political scientist at Canada’s Carleton University, argues that the CPP regime was confronted with an intense and difficult climate that was influenced by some powerful traditional rulers to undermine the CPP regime. "The traditional rulers became a problem so Nkrumah has to clip their wings...Nkrumah wanted to encourage the traditional rulers but they didn’t allow it."
In this sense, the creation of a chieftaincy ministry is seen by many to be a right idea since between 1951 till today, Ghanaian governments of all stripes, civilian as well as military, influenced by British colonial policies of divide and rule, have sought to weaken, Rathbone says, the "chiefly principle in local government, then to weaken chieftaincy by attrition and eventually, by altering the legal basis of chieftaincy, to incorporate and control a considerably altered chieftaincy." However, Dr Akwasi B. Assenso, chair of African-American and African Diasporan Studies at Indiana University, USA thinks the creation of a chieftaincy ministry will enhance Ghana’s development process since "Chiefs, as traditional rulers, are integral components of the Ghanaian society. Therefore, it is both reassuring and crucial that a governmental department is to be created to delineate and, where possible, streamline chieftaincy affairs." In the same vein, though somehow ambivalent, Dr. Osabu-Kle argues that "it means something has gone wrong necessitating some cosmetic action at least. After independence, the Chieftaincy institutions were disgracefully reduced to nothing, but gaping sychophants singing their master’s voice. Ghanaians refused to recognize that those we call chiefs today were Kings or Emperors who commanded political power and executed justice. They were masters and guardians of the treasures of knowledge, wisdom and culture accumulated over thousands of years."
However, many see in Kufour’s proposed chieftaincy ministry idea a dangerous venture that will politicise the institution of traditional rulers and further erode its growth. Dr. George Ayittey, an economist and author of "Indigenous African Institutions," of the American University in Washington D.C, USA thinks the idea of a chieftaincy ministry is wrong and unconstitutional. "This is a bad idea and those of us who recognize and appreciate the critical importance of this venerable institution should oppose the creation of a Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs for this reason. It will politicize that institution by drawing the chiefs into politics and subjecting them to central government control. The chiefs will lose their independence and those who do not "toe the government’s line" may be "punished" by withholding development funds to their areas. Rawlings did this after the 1996 elections. Mugabe also does this." Dr. Osabu-Kle has his fears, too. "What is the guarantee that the proposed Ministry of Chiefs is going to empower the chiefs this time? I have my doubts. It could as well be another cosmetic... and another bait to hook the chiefs into political servitude. Any genuine Ministry of Chieftaincy must seek to empower the chiefs to lead their people to economic prosperity and political maturity."
Ghanaian traditional rulers have not been openly empowered to lead their people to development since the creation of the Ghana nation-state, putting them in a dilemma as they come under pressure from their people to deliver the development eggs. Metaphysics: What would have happened to Ghanaian traditional rulers and their development process if the colonialists had not come to Ghana? What would have happened to the CPP regime and Ghanaian traditional rulers if there had not been a colonial path to follow? Despite fears of politicization and bad historical feelings of yesteryears, some development-minded Ghanaian think the creation of a chieftaincy ministry if informed by history and crafted to fit the development challenges of today, will bring traditional rulers on board the rigours of the development process, make them active in the development process, lessen their unprogressive destructive disputes and smooth out the Ghanaian development process.
Dr. Assenso offers that "during the era of the late President Kwame Nkrumah, his regime reportedly threatened that, if the local chiefs did not accommodate the policies and ideological bent of the day, many of them would "run away and leave their sandals behind. Hopefully, Ghanaian political leaders of today would avoid a similar confrontation but, instead, integrate these traditional rulers meaningfully into Ghanaian society through the creation of such a cabinet-level department. In the context of Ghana’s development, enlightened chiefs and their sub-chiefs can serve in advisory capacities and, where possible, in active non-partisan roles." Dr. Osabu-Kle, aware of the controversy that will come from President Kufour’s chieftaincy idea in the context of Ghana’s unpalatable chieftaincy history, advises that the proposed chieftaincy ministry should be devoid of mainstrean partisan politics and that the staff of the ministry should be handled by people with deep knowledge of Ghanaian traditional institutions and development so that in case of misunderstandings cropping up they can handle it in Ghana’s cultural and current development challenges context. President Kufour, a veteran politician, aware of this, has indicated that the government will not interfere in chieftaincy matters, and that "its concern was based on the fact that such disputes continued to retard development and progress, resulting in increased poverty among the people."
A reasonable number of today’s Ghanaian traditional rulers are not only well educated but also globally exposed and highly development minded. The Asentehene, Osei Tutu 11’s deep foray into the development process, which has spurred other traditional rulers into development action and made his Asanteman Council to receive milions of dollars from the World Bank, is not only a case in point but also a far departure from the colonial and CPP era. Says Dr. Assenso,"There are chiefs who are trained in essential professions, including teaching, law as well as in the sciences and the arts, such well-trained traditional rulers should be mobilised to serve various sectors of the national economy. In Liberia, the late President William V.S. Tubman utilized all chiefs as public relations officers, whereby they promoted cultural awareness and development in their areas. Ghana may use some chiefs likewise, if they cannot serve in high-powered professional capacities."
By saying that "government will not sit down unconcerned for chieftaincy disputes to continue to disturb the prevailing peace in the country," President Kufour has not only thrown a challenge to his regime, and future ones, in the face of development challenges and the new on-going culture-development thinking, aware of the ancient history of the chieftaincy institution and Ghana’s development, but also signalled to Ghanaian traditional rulers that they are the "most important human resource, indispensable in economic development, closer to the people, understand their needs and problems," as Dr. Ayittey says. In this sense, beyond the painful chieftaincy history, the increasingly growing respectability of African values globally, today’s development challenges that call for holistic policies informed by one’s values first and any other second, and the fact that an increasing number of traditional rulers are better educated, it is imperative they be consulted on key development issues in Ghana’s development process.
But why create a new chieftaicy ministry if the National House of Chiefs is there, for among other things, consultation on policy development and the involvement of traditional rulers in the development process? This view creates a dilemma for the good intentions of President Kufour and his regime. Dr. Assenso attempts to resolve the dilemma: "While the National House of Chiefs is expected to eschew partisan politics, a Chieftaincy Ministry is to be deemed as an essential arm of the government of the day, with partisan interests. Apart from that distinction, it is expected that both groups can collabortae for the common weal and for the progress of the respective areas of where the chiefs serve. While there should be no efforts on the part of the Chieftaincy Ministry to co-opt or absorb chiefs as stooges and sychophants of the government of the day, it is still essential to see some meaningful collaboration between the new Ministry, when created, and the national House of Chiefs. Hopefully, the duties of a new Ministry, dedicated to the affairs of chieftaincy in Ghana, will be given true cabinet-level status but not as a mere secretariat like similar entities of the past. Above all, the new head of such a ministry should be very well versed in the intricacies of chieftaincy affairs and traditional roles of Ghanaian chiefs. If possible, he or she should not be appointed simply because of tribal and partisan allegiances."
In the climate of today’s much more objective debate about culture and development globally, devoid of ethnocentricism, and its implications in nation building, and where even developed countries such as Canada are increasingly adding their indigenous, Aboriginal cultural values to almost all federal government policy making in order to create holistic policies by consulting Aboriginal traditional rulers and institutions, the President Kufour-proposed chieftaincy ministry, among its functions, can be a sounding board for policy development where Ghanaian indigenous traditional cultural components are grafted with other aspects of policy developments in order to ground all policies in the Ghanaian/African cultural environment first and any other second in order to float real sustainable policies and development.
Still, the chieftaincy ministry could partner with the Commission on National Culture (CNC), more or less a culture policy think tank, as Florence Gbolu and Dave Maass write in the Accra-based "The Ghanaian Chronicle," to "research outmoded cultural practices that are potentially damaging to the rights of individuals" and society’s development process and "try to modify it," so as to open up the development process fully and realistically; for "culture is dynamic and people should change as the society grows." Also the chieftaincy ministry, armed with vast knowledge of the implications of culture in the development process, working with CNC, could work to "protect culture and not make policies that violate the culture of the people but those that are reasonable, according to Torgui Awusu III, director for the CNC."
President Kufour’s hint of a new chieftaincy ministry may emanate from his long, protracted journey in Ghanaian politics, history and the country’s somehow confused development process, armed with vast experiences. For almost 50 years after independence, the Ghanaiain chieftaincy institution has swung in all directions of the development process pendulum; from confusion to uncertainty to threats to emotionally wrenched dilemma in the development process. All these have seen the traditional rulers descend into an unprogressive development abyss, appearing to be hypnotised into perpetual disputes among themselves, and in the process bringing down the development of the very people they are expected to uplift in the development process.
From President Kufour’s convictions and the growing debate about bringing traditional rulers on board the development process openly, there is adventure in possibilities, and hope for Ghanaian cultural values dictating the country’s development process in the framework of colonial legacies and the enabling aspects of the global culture. But the President Kufour-chieftaincy ministry view may lead to painful, nolstagia-laden, uncharted territory - with fears flashing here and there. It will require deep reflections, historical consciousness, informed experiences and informed policy making and consultations to create the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs in the framework of Ghana’s present hunger for sustainable development.

You’ve probably come across this before, but it’s a pretty good game which can be adapted to suit most wedding shower themes.
It is also suitable for most age groups and is great as an icebreaker, since every guest has to talk to the other guests while playing.
Before the party you obtain one piece of stiff paper or card for each of the shower guests. You could also consider using stickers instead of cards.
On each card clearly write the name of a famous person or character who could be a person from history, a film star from any era or even a cartoon character.
It helps to maintain the theme if the famous character has something to do with that theme, or a person who the bride is a fan of. However this is not essential and in fact it can be great fun if one or two of the characters have nothing at all to do with the theme.
The names of the characters should all be familiar to all the guests so that so that they can answer questions about them.
When the shower begins you attach the name of a different famous person to the back of each guest. For this you might use tape, clothes pins or whatever is appropriate for their clothing. Don’t let them see the name on the card.
During the event each guest has to guess who the name of their character on the card by asking the others questions to which the answer must be ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
Do I have dark hair?
Playing the game along simple lines, the first contestant to guess who their famous character is correctly, is the winner.
Alternatively you can choose to make each of the characters a half of a famous partnership, and once the guest has discovered their identity, they have to find their famous partner at the shower. Be sure to give the winner a small prize as a souvenir of their achievement.
Again, this is great icebreaker game to bring those attending together and help you create a really successful celebration that everyone will enjoy!
As well as Who Am I? Bridal Shower Guessing Game, you will find Bridal Shower Games suggestions that will be a guide to hosting an enjoyable and organized celebration. In these helpful Popular articles you will see more Bridal Shower Games and other great party tips here to help the bride to be at the shower and more.

Academics from De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) will be featured in a new BBC programme about Britain’s best-known screenwriter.
DMU Archivist Katharine Short and Professor Deborah Cartmell, Director of DMU’s Centre for Adaptations, were both interviewed for the documentary about Welsh writer Andrew Davies, which is due to be shown on BBC Four and BBC Wales on 30 December.
Davies is renowned for turning novels into successful dramas and has created some of the most iconic small-screen dramas of the past 50 years including House of Cards, Pride and Prejudice and A Very Peculiar Practice.
At the age of 82 he is following his smash hit adaptation of War and Peace with another global epic, Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, which will be shown on the BBC immediately before the documentary.
He is a visiting professor at DMU and has received an honorary doctorate from the university. He donated his literary archive to DMU’s renowned Centre of Adaptations in 2015, where it has been digitised and preserved in partnership with DMU’s Archives and Special Collections.
The film, titled Andrew Davies: Rewriting the Classics, will uncover the secret of Davies’ success and show how he transforms novels into prime-time television. Other contributors to the documentary include Sarah Waters, Dominic West, Helen Fielding and Olivia Coleman.
Professor Cartmell was interviewed about Andrew Davies’ long involvement with the Centre for Adaptations and commented on the archives of Davies’ work, which includes manuscripts, unfinished work, notes and unpublished material as well as a wealth of correspondence.
A special question and answer session with Davies was also held on DMU’s campus in June, which was filmed for the documentary.
Professor Cartmell said: “The Centre for Adaptations has worked closely with Andrew for many years and we have been extremely lucky to house his extensive archives.
Katharine Short, who presented some of the materials archived at DMU and read some of the scripts and audience reviews housed in the collection, said it was a great experience to be part of the programme.
She said: “The Andrew Davies Collection is a treasure-trove of information and content which charts Davies’ career as a writer and adapter and contains both produced and unproduced work as well as notes, correspondence and even doodles.

Welcome to this week's Cosplay Wednesday spotlight, featuring cosplayer, Arianna Lynn. She's here to show us her Ruby Rose cosplay from the popular anime inspired web series, RWBY (created by the talented Monty Oum). Besides having intelligence at designing and making her Crescent Rose (High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe) weapon, she is highly skilled in battle, and has a strong sense of moral justice. At the same time, she appears naive, innocent, childish, and impulsive. No doubt we see why anybody would want to cosplay this cute Ruby Rose. Check out how Arianna Lynn did it!
I chose to do this because her and I are so much alike and it's fun being her. There is nothing more different when I am cosplaying this character. I feel alive and energetic while in this cosplay.
Between cutting, measuring... I want to say at least four months with my friend Alden who was gifted with prop making had me set.
Measurements are my weakest point and I will honestly admit that I made it a little small but it fits! I already had to replace the zipper twice so far!
Ruby is a energetic, playful, and serious monster hunter. Like me, I like to hunt and create and make friends. What I love about cosplaying this character is the fact that I am always making new friends just like Ruby. I am easily recognized and I love seeing people and watching them approach with a hello or a compliment; it always turns into a meaningful conversation followed by bonding and befriending.
I made to Ohayocon 2015 and will return for Colossalcon this June. I plan to take it to Matsuricon as well various more within the next year.
My next cosplay I want to say Lucy from Fairy Tail. I am also currently working on Freed Justine from Fairy Tail, and Chris Lightfellow from Suikoden 3. These are all my projects to hopefully be done by the end of 2016.
Great job on the whole cosplay!
Interested in a chance to be featured on Cosplay Wednesday? Read the details fully at the link below!

Wellbeing and Poverty Pathways was a research project based at the Centre for Development Studies at the University of Bath (UK). It was funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Department for International Development (DFID). It ran from 2010 to 2014.
The project involved collaboration between academics at the University of Bath, Brunel University, and Govind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute (Allahabad, India) plus the NGOs Hodi (Zambia) (closed down in 2013) and Chaupal (India).
Our research investigated the relationships between wellbeing and poverty through research in two rural communities - the Chiawa area in Kafue district, Zambia, and Sarguja district in Chhattisgarh state, India.
We developed and tested a multidimensional model of wellbeing which incorporates both subjective and objective perspectives.
The research used both qualitative and quantitative methods in a longitudinal study that gathered data from more than 700 respondents in two rounds across two years.
Publications, Briefing papers, and Project papers present our findings.
Edited by Sarah C. White with Chloe Blackmore. Palgrave Macmillan, 2015.
What wellbeing means, whose wellbeing counts and how wellbeing may be promoted more effectively are issues central to current policy and politics. This volume presents evidence and thinking to inform these debates. Research in marginalised communities across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, plus a critical evaluation of a UK national survey, explore diverse aspects of life: health; religion; migration; economics; child poverty; family; landmine impact; and the politics of community and identity. Highlighting the politics of research methodologies, the chapters explore complementarities and tensions between quantitative and qualitative methods; the significance of gender, life-course and place; and the role of researcher identities in shaping accounts of wellbeing. Challenging conventional perspectives on happiness and subjective wellbeing, the book advocates a relational approach which sees wellbeing as produced through interaction with others. A fundamental commitment is to listen to the ways people express what is important for wellbeing in their own terms.
Edited by Sarah C. White with Asha Abeyasekera. Practical Action Publishing, 2014.
A practical resource for people engaged in social or development policy or practice who are considering integrating ‘wellbeing’ or ‘quality of life’ in their work in the global South and North. The main body of the book presents different tools that have been developed and used in social and development policy and practice and outlines the inspiration behind their approach, how it works, what has been learnt through it, and issues and dilemmas that remain.

A great re-understanding of the history of evolution in a contemporary and timely way. Such a great blend of the past, present in a forward thinking way that still looks contemporary. An “intuitive unfolding of knowledge” and the inability of begin able to comprehend all of this knowledge in a 13 minute video.

Dan Habib’s Tedx Talk on the importance of inclusion, belonging and disabling segregation. Habib is the creator of the award winning documentaries, Including Samuel, Who Cares About Kelsey, Restraint and Seclusion: Hear Our Stories, Thalia and other disability related subjects .
Check out Dan’s Tedx Talk on the benefits of inclusive education for students with and without disabilities.
Picture yourself back in your grade school classroom. I don’t care if it’s elementary school, middle school, high school. Just put yourself back there for a second. Look around the classroom. Do you see any kids with and without disabilities studying together and learning together? Raise your hand if you do see that. One or two…couple of people in a room of about a hundred. Okay. Did you have a best friend who had a disability? A significant disability. A few people. Okay. Did you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend that had a significant disability? One person. Two people. Okay…out of a room of a hundred. Alright, let’s be honest for a second. Did you feel some fear or nervousness, when you were a kid, about talking to a kid with a disability? Raise your hand if you felt some fear or nervousness. Okay. Probably the majority of the room. We have something in common. I felt exactly the same way.
That’s me at four. I was in preschool and I became friends with a boy named Richard. And there was something different about Richard. Richard had a headband on all the time. And it was a little strange to me that this kid always wore this headband and I started wondering, “What’s under the headband?” ‘Cause Richard was different because he had this headband. And I learned that Richard had a lot of surgeries and I always wondered, “What did those ears look like under that head band?” And it was kind of scary to me to think about how different Richard was. As I got older…went to college…disability, honestly, was just a blip on the radar screen for me. It was not a big part of my life. I met my wife…we had our first son, Isaiah. Isaiah’s one of these kids that, at 10 months, he was walking…he was talking…he was always ahead of the curve. And then Samuel came along. He’s cute, isn’t he? I’m biased. I think he’s very cute. I was thrilled. We had another boy. My wife, Betsy, and I were like, “We know how to do boys! This is great! We can do boys!” And I started envisioning all the things that they would do together like I did with my brother. Playing baseball. Wrestling. Going hiking as a family with my sister and my parents. And I just started…it was wonderful to kind of envision this in my mind…until we noticed a few things. And one of the first things we noticed were his hands. And if you look closely at the picture, you see his hands are balled up in a fist. That’s not really typical. So we went to Samuel’s pediatrician and we said, “Listen. We’re seeing some things that are different with Samuel. Can we…what should we do?” And he said, “Listen…you know, kids develop in different ways. Don’t worry about it. Let’s just play it by ear. But just to be sure, let’s go see a neurologist to make sure there’s nothing wrong.” Okay…we get a little nervous about that step. We see the neurologist…he does lots of blood samples…skin samples. And a few weeks later, I get a phone call and the neurologist says, “Mr. Habib, I think your son has a mitochondrial disorder. Let’s get together in a few weeks and talk about it.” So I did what no parent should do but every parent would do. Want to guess? Google “mitochondrial disorder!” Of course! And the first thing that came up was “usually fatal.” And I felt like I was kicked in the stomach. And I remember thinking, “What does this mean? What is this going to mean for our life?”Now thankfully, I now know there are thousands of mitochondrial disorders that have lots of different ramifications. But in Samuel’s case, it did cause cerebral palsy. So suddenly we were on this journey that we never, ever expected to be on. So every night my wife and I would be together at the dinner table and we would be talking to each other: “What did Samuel do today? Did he roll over at all? Was he sitting up? Was he trying…was he talking at all?” You know, just trying to see…is there some sign that he’s getting better? I remember our physical therapist telling me, “If you…maybe if you massage him each night, it might loosen up his muscles.” So I would do those massages and on the nights when I forgot to do that massage, I would beat myself up. I would feel so guilty that I wasn’t doing what I needed to do to fix him. We started wondering, “What’s his life going to be like in school…in the community…relationships…work…college? You know, how can he go to college when he can’t even hold a pencil? How can he play with his friends when he can’t just run outside?” It was completely overwhelming.
Over time, we finally came to terms with the fact that Samuel had a disability and he would have a disability—a lifelong disability. So what do we do now? And what we realized we had to do was create a vision for Samuel and let him create a vision for himself. So what would that vision be?
belonged. That he belonged in our neighborhood…that he belonged in our community …and perhaps more than anything, that he belonged in his local school. Because how can you feel like you belong in your community if you don’t feel you belong in your own neighborhood school, which is the hub of the community? So that got us thinking about inclusion because for him to go to his local school would mean they would have to work to include him. Now luckily, Samuel’s a charmer. So…and a bit of a flirt. So in preschool, that wasn’t that difficult, right? He was completely included in preschool. He belonged. No doubt.
supported…sometimes, quite literally, by an expanding circle of friends. He belonged in that general education classroom. There was no doubt. He joined the scouts. He acted in school theater. When other kids were speaking their lines, Samuel used the communication device mounted on his wheelchair to speak his lines. And that was normal. That’s what he’d been doing all day long with his peers in school. For him, that stage was a place where he belonged.
Samuel is a big baseball fan and he started playing baseball with T-ball right up through coach-pitch league, and he loved it, and we loved watching the joy in his face. And then came the age where he was gonna be in the league where kids are pitching the ball quite fast…where kids are actually hitting the ball over the fence at times. And he wanted to play. So I thought, “Oh my gosh. How is he gonna play at this level?” And I remember getting together with the league president and saying, “Joe, listen. Samuel wants to play in this level. I don’t really know what that’s gonna look like. You know, should we send a letter home to families? Should we make this statement about inclusion? Should we have some communication throughout the league?”And he said, “Dan, slow down. Listen. If a kid in our community wants to play baseball, he’s gonna play baseball. End of story.” I just said, “Wow.” That’s all I could ask for. So he played. Oh, yeah, he played. He would get up there…he’d hit the ball off the Tee when the other kids were playing…hitting off a pitch. He would go like a bat outta hell down that first baseline on his bicycle with a little help from a coach. If he was out, he was out. If he was safe, he was safe. He was playing baseball. He belonged on that field.
Now in middle school, Samuel has a great circle of friends in eighth grade. He’s in general education in all his classes and he’s on the honor roll. Now if you’re surprised by that…that he’s on the honor roll…don’t be. Because Samuel represents the statistics that we have built over 35 years around inclusive education. The statistics have shown that kids with disabilities who are included in general education classrooms have better outcomes socially, academically, in terms of behavior, in terms of post-school outcomes, in terms of everything you can imagine.
Advocate for inclusive education in your communities and schools. Advocate for inclusive education.
It’s also important to look at the flip side of this…of a different story. And this is the story about a boy named Todd. Todd was a kid that I got to know early in my years as a photojournalist when I did a documentary story on mainstreaming kids with disabilities into general ed. It was almost like an experiment back then. “Let’s just try this and see how it works.” Well, Todd flourished in elementary school. He was with his peers. They got to know him. The problem was, as he got older, adults particularly…even in middle school and high school…kept talking to him like he was a four-year-old or a five-year-old because he had cerebral palsy and couldn’t speak and couldn’t walk. At times, his mother told me they would just pat him on the head as a teenager. They would make promises about things they were gonna do that went unfulfilled. Todd went through high school that way…pretty much being treated like a little kid. Finally at about age 20, he got access to some communication technology that allowed him to express his thoughts and feelings. You know what one of the first things he said was?
He said it a little more colorfully than that. And I…it’s funny, but it’s very sad that all this anger had been built up over these years because Todd had been treated like a little kid when he was absorbing everything. He was understanding everything. But he was never…he didn’t have that chance to be…for a bar to be held high for him. Unfortunately, Todd is also representative of statistics.
56 percent of kids in this country with intellectual and developmental disabilities spend their entire day in self-contained, separate settings just for kids with disabilities…whether it’s classes or separate schools. Even though we know…and all the research says…that that is not going to yield better outcomes for them.
Advocate for inclusion. Advocate for inclusive education.
Why do we do it? Well, we know that sometimes when you do things for a long time in society, it’s hard to change. Right? You just get into certain habits that this must be the way to do it. But I think about this all the time. What’s it gonna take to change that dynamic so that so many kids are not being segregated?
And I’ve come to believe that maybe it’s really not about Samuel. Or Todd. Maybe it’s not primarily about them. Maybe it’s actually about the other kids. Maybe we need to show that inclusion benefits typical kids without disabilities as much or more than they benefit Samuel or Todd.
And there’s one particular study that was done at Vanderbilt where they did two groups of kids they studied. One group were in an inclusive environment alongside their peers with disabilities; one group was separated from their peers with disabilities. The group that worked alongside their peers with disabilities had an average of a 15 point increase in their academic achievement.
And what they did is they figured…they figured out why that happened and it was because when you’re working collaboratively with a peer…with a friend…with somebody who might need a little extra assistance or some coaching…you’re much more engaged in the curriculum. You want to understand it. You want to study it. So those kids were so engaged ’cause they had this friend that they wanted to make sure that they were a good collaborator with. So they achieved at a higher rate.
So…but let’s look beyond academics. Academics are important…very important. But some of my favorite moments in Samuel’s life and in my life were the walks to school each morning.’Cause that’s where you get little glimpses of the conversations that happen among kids, right? Or you see those little rituals that go on or the games that are played or those little stories from home. Honestly, when I think back to school, I think I remember the walks to school more than I remember school itself. So, you know, that’s obviously critical—those extra parts of life that go beyond the classroom. So let me ask you another question. When you think about who you are today as a person…and I don’t mean just professionally; I mean your hobbies, your passions, your relationships, everything. Which of these two factors had a bigger impact on your life? Was it the academic experience of school or was it the social and emotional experience of school? So we’ll do a quick poll. How many of you say the academic experience of school had a bigger impact on who you are today? There’s no wrong answer, I swear. Okay…one…two…okay. We got three or four people. How many of you say the social and emotional experience of school had a greater impact? About 95 percent of the room. But we measure schools almost primarily…almost solely…by how they do academically by kids. When all of you have just told me that the social and emotional experience of school was, for most of you, more important.
So I’ll give you a real-time illustration of this point. Samuel and two of his friends—Jacob and Fletcher—and I took a great road trip to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York this summer. There’s Jacob…there’s Samuel as a 13-year-old with his buddies. We had a great trip. The Hall of Fame was awesome…wonderfully wheelchair-friendly…loved seeing all the memorabilia. And then it was time to go out for lunch in Cooperstown and the problem was, we couldn’t get into any of the stores or restaurants. As you see in the picture, almost every store had a step of three inches or six inches. Well, for Samuel, that’s like a brick wall to get his wheelchair over a step like that. The kids were furious. It had honestly kind of put a damper on our trip even though, overall, it was a great trip. So they came home and what did they do? They wrote a letter. They wrote a letter to the Chamber of Commerce; they wrote a letter to every newspaper in the area; and they said, “We are mad because almost all the stores in Cooperstown are not accessible to someone in a wheelchair. We had a hundred dollars to spend on souvenirs, and we made a pledge among the three of us that we were not going to go into a store that Samuel couldn’t get into. And we really hope that this letter helps to change downtown Cooperstown so that other people don’t have to go through what we went through.” That letter was published…we got a call from the Chamber of Commerce asking for our ideas and input. I said, “You’ve gotta have people in your own community who can think about this. You don’t need someone in Concord, New Hampshire.” But they were motivated. They were motivated.
So I continue to think though maybe it’s not just about Samuel. Maybe it’s not just bout his peers. Maybe it’s not even about you. Maybe it’s about your son…your niece…your nephew…your grandchild. What kind of world do you want them to grow up in? When they have…let’s say…a grandparent that develops Alzheimer’s or has a stroke and suddenly starts moving in a very different way or talking in a 15:11 different way, do you want them to think that’s weird and freaky and that they are scared of that? When they have a cousin that’s born with Down Syndrome or autism, do you want them to feel scared and distant and uncertain how to approach that cousin? Or do you want them to know that this is a natural part of life? What kind of world do you want them to grow up in? Who do you want them to be? Who do they want to become?
What I’ve come to understand is you can’t teach this. You can’t teach this. You have to live it. You have to experience it. You can’t do a lecture on it, even though I’m trying my best. You have to experience it and you have to be there all the time, every day, around you, in community and schools alongside people of this type of diversity. This is life. This is part of our world. It has to be seen as a normal part of our world. Now I’ve also come to understand that it takes generational change. I mean, don’t forget that not long ago, people were smoking on airplanes, right? We were not wearing seatbelts in the way back…especially in the way back. We were legally segregating blacks and whites in school. FDR had to hide his wheelchair in public photographs because it was seen as a sign of weakness. But generations have come where these things are not seen as a given anymore. This is generational change.
For incluson to work, teachers who know how to work with atypical kids need the training and aides to work with them. Many school districts don’t include ids becasue one teacher with 25 kids in a classroon can’t do it all alone. He/She needs help. Principals don’t understand atypical kids either, and threfore don’t know what to look for in hiring competent people.
Thanks so much. We are working for the same goals.
The message is clear that kids who are mainstreamed have better outcomes. My son was born with autism and he was always in a mainstream classroom. He recovered and now works at a major aerospace company as an engineer.It took a long time but with medical, behavioral, educational interventions he made it.
This could be even more awesome if our faith communities/churches were more inclusive.

From the outside…with no key.
Let’s just start off with this: It was an accident.
It was 3 in the morning. We were going on night No. 4 of — dun-dun-dunnn — sleep training our daughter to sleep in her own bedroom. Four nights of often-interrupted, very little sleep. Four nights closer to insanity.
A wailing cry woke me. “Woke me” might be an exaggeration because, really, I was semi-comatose. The world was a thick fog and the 10 steps from my room to hers made me feel like I was Artax trudging through the Swamp of Sadness.
I was sinking in sleep deprivation and frustration.
There she was. That adorable little girl. Fed. Bathed. Safe. Pooped. Empty Bladdered. All her needs met. Crying. Screaming nonetheless. Behold, the beautiful bedroom we had decorated with her favorite things. Behold, the soft comfy bed with sheets of her choice and the small mountain of beloved “stuffies.” The poor, miserable child!
In a haze, I came to her side and mustered what small amount of sympathetic care I could. I patted her back, mumbling my most consoling mumbles, swaying on my feet as I tried to stay awake while her cries lessened.
“Okay, Mommy needs to sleep now,” I slurred, moving toward the door.
I touched the handle and hesitated a moment. The vision of her climbing out of bed and appearing in my room for the fifth time that night hit me like a brick wall. One more wake-up and I was quite sure I would melt like the Wicked Witch in a swimming pool. Without thinking, I turned the lock and quietly shut the door behind me.
The moment I heard it go click, I realized what I had done. I had locked my 2-year-old in her bedroom, from the outside.
I instantly burst into inconsolable tears. I woke my husband who, alarmed and confused, tried his best to understand my cry-talk as I attempted to explain the ridiculous situation.
“Why did you lock the door?” he asked.
“Because I’m a terrible person!” I screamed as I crumpled dramatically onto the floor, resigned to drown in a puddle of my own tears.
We had just moved in and had no idea if there was a key to the bedrooms in the house. We searched fruitlessly — somehow managing to check above the 7-foot door frames. It was all a blur , literally , as I looked at the world through a waterfall of tears.
My daughter woke up, and though at first calm, she read the desperation in my voice as I tried to coach her through unlocking the door from her side. Her 2-year-old brain struggled to understand, and her little fingers couldn’t execute the complicated maneuverings I suggested.
I burst into a sob. The sob told her I couldn’t open the door. So she burst into her own. We both sat, a thin, hollow door between us, crying loudly. Separated by 2 inches, we felt hopelessly alone in the world. I’m the worst mom ever, I told myself again and again, knowing full well I was irrational but taking joy in groveling.
After all, I was trying to teach my daughter to sleep in her own room, and now I had locked her in it. I was convinced this would forever traumatize her — fusing a pathway in her brain that equated sleep in her bedroom with her mother abandoning her. What kind of expensive psychotherapy would she need as an adult to right this wrong? She would grow up determined to be “nothing like her mother,” opening up the whole world, removing doors wherever she went like some strange new Johnny Appleseed.
An hour later, at 4 a.m., after my dad drove to our house with his tools, after many failed attempts at picking the lock, after much speculation on how to open the door (including knocking it down, taking it off the hinges, and slamming a hammer on the handle), after my daughter had long ago fallen soundlessly asleep in her bed, after my husband forced the door handle down and — pop — it opened. The door opened, and the nightmare was over.
She was contentedly sleeping like an angel in her perfectly decorated room, her “stuffies” around her, drool puddling on her new pillow cover. She had even managed to go to the bathroom on the toilet during the whole debacle, all by herself.
Well, maybe today is that day. Look, it’s not my favorite parenting story for obvious reasons. I pretty much failed at the “parenting” part of the story. It was really a quite remarkable fiasco. But it was real. It was me. Human, tired me. It was me not thinking. Mistake me. Flawed me. Pushed-to-the-limit me. Can’t-be-strong-anymore me. Crying-on-the-carpet me. Call-my-dad, I-don’t-know-what-to-do-anymore me.
In the morning, I told her I was sorry, and she smiled in a confused sort of way, as if she had no idea what I was talking about. I realized it had been worse for me than it had been for her. And that night she slept in her own bedroom.
