Back to dust away the space with my new found love!!!
I have been wearing contact lenses since my poly days and the number of hours that I have to wear them is always more than 8 hours, especially after I stepped into the work force.
I have to face the computer the whole day and after work hours, I’m always on my mobile checking out social media, watching YouTube videos and blogs.
Thus, a pair of good lenses is very important to me, especially the moisture level of the lenses.
I have always been on a monthly lenses, and at times, I admit I do “extend” the length of the lenses usage, as I do not keep track of the duration of lenses used.
So when I saw that Acuvue launched their new Acuvue Oasys 1-Day lenses, I have been wanting to try out.
I read so much good reviews on the lenses and can’t wait to try them out.
Acuvue has this ongoing promotion of $30 off the first two boxes of their lenses via the link below.
https://www.acuvue.com.sg/e-voucher so I decided to make use of the voucher to get myself a new set of lenses.
There is a list of opticians that I can visit.
So I headed off to Capitol Optics at Causeway Point to have my eyes checked.
It has been years since I last checked my eye sight.
The staff was so knowledgeable; she gave me a very thorough check on my eyes.
They did checks like how “used” and how tired my eyes are. I was amazed by their technology.
They told me how dry my eyes were, how my tears are not oily enough and encouraged me to take more omega to replenish the tear quality.
They even taught me preventive methods and how I can enhance the quality of my eye health which I am really thankful of.
They mentioned that Acuvue Oasys 1-Day is the perfect lenses and the best lenses for me as their lenses come with HydraluxeTM. It is a Tear Infused Design, an enhanced network of tear-like molecules that enables ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day to integrate with and support the tear film.
Further to that, the optician mentioned that my current lens are a little tight for my eyes, so they encourage me to wear a bigger diameter of lenses. I previously had no idea that lenses come in different sizes!
I changed into the new pair of lenses immediately and realized how comfy these new pair of lenses feel! No tightness and dryness at all!
Do you know that our eyes are prone to UV radiation too, which can cause eye problems like cataracts and macular degeneration?
Acuvue is the only contact lenses that has internationally recognized standard of UV protection across their entire range.
I read your post and it is great. Found it really interesting and I would suggest you to write more content in your post. Thank you for the share. Keep it up.
This is a great and helpful piece of info.Thank you very much.
You have chosen a very interesting topic for the discussion. Your article is very useful for those who are looking to buy lenses. Geo lenses usa offer high quality and safe contact lenses.

Growing up, my parents always told me to get a good job with a good company and I’d be set for life. My mom worked for Quaker State Corporation; my dad worked in the IT department for a company called Franklin Steel. Both worked at their respective companies for 20-plus years, and for a long time I thought they were right. But, then change came. Quaker State moved to the Lone Star State, and Franklin Steel turned off its furnaces. In their 50s, my parents needed to find new jobs to bridge the gap to retirement. It was devastating at first, and it required a move from northwest Pennsylvania to Cleveland, Ohio. But, in the end, my father found a better IT job with a company that deeply valued him and his expertise; my mom took on a fun job with a travel agency and they were able to enjoy the many great aspects of living in a metropolitan area that they did not have in their small town as they finished out their work years.
For me personally, change has been a major part in my life. In the past 26 years, I’ve lived and worked in 9 states, worked for 8 different companies and been married twice. (At Celanese alone, I’ve held 5 vastly different titles!) Throughout my career, I’ve been told my job was being centralized, decentralized, off-shored and eliminated. And, I’ve had to tell others theirs were, too. Regardless of the reasons, these kinds of changes are tough to go through, and I won’t pretend that they didn’t throw me off balance a little. But, having gone through these changes, I’ve also experienced the thrill of adventure, the excitement of taking on a new role and the joy of starting a new phase of life. I’ve learned that fighting the change only wears me out. It’s physically and emotionally exhausting. But, in surrendering to the change, really giving myself over to it, I have found unimagined happiness and fulfillment in both my personal and professional life.
My parents were right; I’ve had many good jobs with many good companies, not just one. I’ve learned to take each day as it comes — finding the joy in wherever I am or whatever I am doing — being open to all the possibilities; because, it ALWAYS works out in the end.

Great message, Maria. Thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks, Susan! And, it means so much to me that you were the first to comment – thanks, Boss!
Congratulations for your newest profile, also I liked very the reading.
Thanks, Adriano!! I hope you are well!
Good to see you sharing your story, Maria! Your enthusiasm was always infectious and it’s been a great fun working and learning from you in SCOM. You taught us to see challenges as opportunities to grow at that time and it’s been an exciting adventure ever since. All the very best to you.
Diana, thank you so much! We had an amazing adventure with SCOM, didn’t we? I’m so grateful for that time and all that came from it – the relationships, the learning, the growth. All the very best to you, too!
It has been great to witness you growing and flourishing at Celanese. I am glad that your life’s flow brought you here!
Thanks, Barbara! You are one of those people who made a big difference in my career. And, I’m glad I found my way here, too!
Hello Maria and thank you for sharing your story. This is a strong message both about the reality of change in our world and the importance of accepting, adapting to and integrating those changes into our lives . Your insightful comments really touched me, particularly the costs of fighting the inevitable changes in our lives and the benefits to be gained by a positive and proactive mental outlook . You clearly have an “abundance mentality” and it shows here as well as in your daily life and relationships with your coworkers and customers . Thank you for posting this .
Kevin, I really appreciate your kind words. Yes, life is better with an abundance mentality. There is more than enough for all of us. It’s just a matter of letting life lead us to it, rather than thinking we must force it to happen our way.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Amy! Thanks for letting me know!
Great article!! You speak from the heart, and lots of experiences, no pity party there. In all the new adventure to which you have positively & optimistically adapted, you have remained the beautiful girl you always were inside. I should know. Still and always, proud of you with love.
Oh, thanks, Mom! You and Dad gave me a great foundation, and it has seen me through all of this change.
I loved reading your message about your lovely parents, my Aunt and Uncle. They’ve raised such a wonderful lady, so energetic and enthusiastic. I can assure readers Maria is a genuine person, not just because she’s my cousin. She’s a product of such positive and loving parents. I’m so lucky to have you in my life, Maria. I imagine your company must feel the same way. I only wish we lived in the same State!
Thanks so much, Lou! Who knows, maybe the winds of change will bring you to Texas one of these days!
Genuine and from the heart Maria….I am allways envious of those who have strength, courage, character and happiness within them. Thank you for sharing your inner sunshine with us!
Luis, thank you for your kind thoughts. They mean a lot to me because I do try to share my “inner sunshine,” as you say, with everyone. It’s what life is truly about.
Maria, you always have a great attitude about life. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Adolph! You, too, are one of those people who have a great attitude about life, and it’s contagious, my friend!
Maria, I’m going to add one small caveat, as moms and dads are wont to do, sometimes. It all worked out from the very start for Mom and me from the moment that God added your precious life to ours. And then He added two more.
Ah, thanks, Dad! And, that’s a wonderful perspective – that it worked out from the start – too!
You’re welcome, Mark, and thanks so much for your words, too. Will send positive thoughts your way as you gear up for this new adventure in your life!
It always works out in the end. Very well said, Maria! Thanks for sharing your touching stories and I really enjoyed it. It is very true that the only thing doesn’t change is change itself. Eventhough someone’s position, in the personal life or at work, is not changing at the moment, things around are changing all the time regarless of the personal perference. Happily facing the change and making the most out it is the best way out.
Bin, thank you! I appreciate your positive views on change, as well!
Hi, Maria, your blog is timely and impacts many of us.”It always works out in the end.” “Being open to all possibilities,” Yes, it is.
Appreciated your wonderful perspective and your thoughts!
Thanks so much, Bonnie. I’m glad my words could strike a chord!
Thanks, Nina! I miss working with you, too!
Maria – I read this article as soon as I saw it for two reasons: 1. I’ve always found you to be a very positive, energizing person and I value that and 2. The title: “It always works out in the end”.
I personally went through a lot of change in the past few years and had to lead others through a lot of change, some of it difficult, most of it very rewarding, and all of it working out in the end.
A few years ago, in the office I had a few doors down from yours, I put up a sign right above my desk that said simply “IAWOOK.” Occasionally, someone would ask what it meant and I said it was my daily reminder that “It Always Works Out OK.” I put it up after thinking about some big challenges I was facing and reflecting on how I had handled big challenges throughout my life.
So, I get it, and I really appreciate you putting your thoughts and words to describe it so well.
Mike, I am truly honored. Thank you for your warm words and support. We never realize the impact we have on one another as we go through our work days and life. And, I’m happy to know we share this outlook – IAWOOK! It’s one thing that can pull us through when it seems as if nothing else will. All my best to you.

I really didn't want to read this one because just by looking at the title, I knew it was going to be quite a tearful journey. And I was not wrong.
This book tells the story of sixteen-year-old Tessa, and her ever on-going struggle with leukemia. Tessa knows that she cannot be cured, the leukemia will claim her life eventually, so she writes up a list of ten things she wants to do before she dies.
I loved Tessa as a character and I think the battle with her illness was told perfectly. Seeing her work her way through the list with her best friend was a joy, and hilarious at times. Even though the book in inevitably about Tessa's approaching death, it's still a story about hope, a story that reminds you to make the most of every opportunity.
This truly is an amazing story that will make you laugh and cry. You will defiantly need the tissues for this one!
Also: Before I Die is currently being adapted into a movie staring Dakota Fanning and Jeremy Irvine. The movie will be called Now Is Good and is due out next year.
I found this book an extremely funny read. Being only slightly older than the characters in the book, I sometimes found them relatable in certain situations, but in others I wanted to scream at them for being so stupid. It definitely tore my emotions apart!
The main character, April, ends up living alone with her close friend Vi, and they get up to all sorts of typically crazy teenage stuff: parties, drinking ,and spending money on things they really shouldn't have.
I loved the personalities of the characters and the humour within the book, but personally I think there could of been a few more moments between April and Hudson. Overall it was a great read, and it certainly kept me giggling.
The Mortal War is over, and Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And—most important of all—Clary can finally call Jace her boyfriend.
I didn't discover The Mortal Instruments series untill a few months ago but from the first book, I've been hooked.
This is the fourth book in The Mortal Instruments Series and it picks up a few weeks on from the ending of book three.
I really liked how the story followed Jace and Simon more, instead of just focusing on Clary. I love Clary as a character but it's refreshing to follow the other characters around a bit more.
The storylines are as good as ever in City of Fallen Angels. There are many twists and turns to be found and of course, a mega cliffhanger at the end that leaves you begging to read the next book, City of Lost Souls, which unfortunatily isn't available until May next year!

India’s tigers are in trouble. And Sanctuary Asia—India’s leading wildlife, conservation and environment magazine—and Save the Tiger have started a campaign to help.
The Leave Me Alone campaign was launched on the third annual Global Tiger Day in July 2013. It underscores this essential reality: saving India’s tigers calms the climate and helps secure our future. If tigers vanish, so will their forests. With space, isolation and protection, the tiger and its forests will thrive.
Please help MUTTS echo the tiger’s plea to “Leave Me Alone” by signing the petition, supporting the front line tiger defenders, and spreading the word on social media. By saving tigers, we save ourselves.
Learn more about the Leave Me Alone movement by watching these videos.

The other day, I was doing a final check for a voter guide project. An elections office had created a sample PDF, asked me to check it and identify any problems, then figure out how to solve them. We’d gone back and forth for a few days.
When I finally sent off the email saying all the ducks were in a row, and that the office could start printing the PDF booklet, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that you can’t create an accessible pdf from an accessible Word file.
It’s that it’s so easy to get it wrong.
I didn’t expect the tweet to launch a Twitter conversation that went on for two days. The response prompted me to write a longer form post.
PDFs are not always the best way to share information. Most of the time, you’d find me standing at the head of the line advocating for HTML. Sometimes though, PDFs are the right solution. Particularly for long reports or other documents.
For the voter guide project, PDF is the better option. And assuming you begin with an accessible file, turning it into a PDF ought to be the easiest, fastest way to get from digital source to an accessible printed report. Sadly this isn’t the case.
In the voter guide project I just worked on, the source file was Word. I’d heard that InDesign does do a better job of creating PDF files. And while that’s good advice, it doesn’t address the question of why it’s so hard to make a relatively simple, accessible Word file into an accessible PDF.
Worse, I’ve taken a look at the documentation on creating an accessible PDF from InDesign and it doesn’t look that easy. Powerful, yes. But not easy.
Why does it matter if it’s easy or not? You shouldn’t need an expert to create accessible documents! There simply aren’t enough experts to go around. Templates can help. Cheatsheets and checklists are good reminders. If accessible documents require experts to make them, it’s no wonder there are so few accessible documents out there. Without accessible documents, millions of people lose the ability to get the information to participate in their country’s elections.
But this is about more than elections. In every business and university, people create documents every day. People whose expertise or main focus probably isn’t technology or accessibility. This isn’t a criticism. It’s the real world–and we’re not yet serving everyone’s needs.
Designing for accessibility ought to be easy. It ought to be the default for software. The features to create documents shouldn’t be hidden behind 3 or 4 clicks–every single time you need to use those settings.
Them: I know I’m supposed to put alt text on this image, but I can’t figure out where it goes.
Me: It’s in the formatting properties.
Me: See the little blue square with the arrows.
Them: Oooooh. That’s where it’s hiding.
Them: Wait. What….what is all this? This looks…complicated. How am I going to learn this?
Me: Just send me the file and I’ll fix it.
In both cases, creating accessible information has been made harder than it should be, or downright scary. When accessibility is too much work, it’s a hidden tax.
Make software defaults that support accessibility.
And make sure the defaults don’t actively harm accessibility. For example, the default Word option to “Bitmap text when fonts may not be embedded” seems like a good thing, but it turns text into little snippets of images. You might not notice this with a visual inspection, but it causes real problems for screen readers. Don’t take the option away…just make it clear what will happen. And don’t make it the default.
Make accessibility features easy to find.
Don’t hide or require several clicks to get to these features. Or make users guess at what they mean. For example, the table property to “Repeat as header row at the top of each page” also sets the row as a header for screen readers, but how would anyone know that this is important (or why it’s important). Maybe the default should be that the first row is set as a heading row. It can be changed, but if you do nothing, you have a more accessible table.
So, what happened to the elections project?
If you’re curious, the booklet was turned into 85 versions. They will be voter guides with information about the candidates and measures on the ballot (along with some basics about ways to vote).
There are 85 of them because there’s not just one ballot for the whole county or state. In New Jersey, where we have a lot of local government, each borough, town, and township has a different ballot. In many places, there are overlapping water districts, fire districts and school districts on top of the boundaries for local offices. I’ve seen the GIS mapping layers for suburban Cook County outside of Chicago, and just thinking about them makes my head hurt.
A large county can have hundreds of different ballots. Even a small county might have dozens. Each is a unique combination of contests for one geographical area. Because the schedule is crazy fast, there’s only a few days between when the list of candidates and measures are certified and when the booklets (and ballots) have to be ready to go to the printer and be posted on the web.
Getting it right is important. The right ballot content. The right languages. The right legal notices. And getting accessibility right, too.
But most of all, easy counts.
It’s the only way we’re going to make real progress.
P.S. Since the most obvious recommendation is to “take it up with the vendors” when you have a problem–I did. Because if they never hear about the problems, they can’t fix them. I’ve been talking to both Adobe and Microsoft. They both have online forums. If this matters to you, let them know.

I suggest you….Help us make accessible PDFs from Office for Mac.
Making Acrobat PDF files accessible may not seem like the most important accessibility problem, but give me a second to make the case.
How many of you routinely use PDF files to share documents? And use Office for Mac to create those documents?
PDF may not be the ideal format for sharing information: even an accessible PDF may not be completely accessible to everyone. But there are times when it really is the best option. Big, long reports. Electronic versions of printed material. Draft documents for comments among people who may use different authoring software.
Like it or not, it’s a lingua franca.
If you use Office for Windows, making a simple PDF file accessible is pretty easy. You start with the built-in accessibility checker. Then you use the built-in PDF creator. End with a final check in Acrobat lets you clean up any problems.
But if you use Office for Mac, there is no built-in checker. No built-in PDF creator. The Mac print-to-PDF creates an image with none of the tags that make accessibility possible.
Microsoft, Adobe, and Apple are giant companies with plenty of resources and great accessibility programs. So why can’t they get this done? I’ve been asking this question for years, and the answers are always vague, or fingers pointed around the circle.
Come on, guys. It’s not that hard a problem. Get. It. Done.
Help us make accessible PDFs from Office for Mac.
Do you agree? Take a minute to vote it up.
Make accessibility easy, and the world will be more accessible.
I’m working with World IA Day 2016 – a one-day (February 20, 2016), annual celebration focused on the practice and education of Information Architecture. As accessibility coordinator, I’m helping local events be welcoming to everyone.
This post, with a template and tips for social media strategy comes from José René Gutiérrez Álvarez (@josernitos). He shared his experience with all the WIAD organizers. This is such great list of tips for live-posting an event that I asked his permission to include it in this series.
It may seem far from accessibility, but there’s a similarity between live-tweeting and live captions or CART. Most of all, helping people keep track of what happens before, during, and after an event makes it easier for everyone to take part.
Your event is booked, we are only a couple days till the big day and this is the first event you broadcast on social media, I’m sure there are a lot of questions, and how you manage your local event will depend on the resources you have and also the attendees of your event.
As you know, with the agenda + speakers + content of the talks/workshops, you can make lots of content with only those 3 elements.
Remind people of the agenda with an image so they can: Share it, comment, save it.
Remind people the location of the event with a Google Map URL or image of the location + image of the venue.
Remind people the upcoming speaker/talk, an hour before and 15min before. Could be image or text.
If you have the speaker presentation beforehand, make screenshots of important quotes/images you might be able to share. (Ask your speaker first).
If you want to post photos (cellphone or camera), get help from your team. This task involves being near the speaker, editing the photo or just sharing directly to your feed, but even though you will just take the photo and upload it, there is a lot of content going on: what the speaker is saying, the next speaker presentation, etc. So, If you are a social media team of one, just post 1 or 2 photos of each speaker. Don’t worry if it’s not an awesome professional photograph of the speaker or attendees in the time you have.
If there is a broadcast, remind the url for other to watch.
If there is a broadcast, make screenshots of the event and say something that is happening or saying. People outside the venue want to know if something important is going on.
Remind the sponsors, local and global that made possible the event.
Remember to thank the organizers of your local event! It’s been a huge task.
Remember to thank the local and global sponsors.
I know most of the events will have a huge Twitter impact, but if the attendees are using Facebook or Instagram as their sole main medium of communication, then you should try to get those status updates to nurture your feed.
If there isn’t a lot of content generated by the users, try to see if they are sharing more on other social media, if they are, encourage to use your main social media platform, if all fails, you can create a raffle for the people that send tweets saying they are on the event, or taking a photo w/ their coffee or anything.
So you have pre-created some content, people are sharing content (text, links, photos). But there is a troll in the event. Prepare for the worst, definitely this is something you don’t want in your event.
If there is a user or group of users who are making digital noise on the feed, and they are in the event, I have found that the best solution is to point the problem — not on Twitter or Facebook, but to announce the problem you are having. This is really effective method to make people stop the trolling.
Know your audience, understand the influencers of the event.
Tweet to them directly, make conversation, meet them on the event, people will be more helpful if they’ve seen your face.
Get early to the venue, at least 1 hour before.
Use wifi, hopefully the venue will have wifi connection.
Be prepared to run out of juice fast, bring an extension cord, bring extra batteries or external batteries.
Have a table and chair to use. If you are in just a seat like everyone else it can be awkward to manage everything. If people are publishing a lot of content, it’s better to use your laptop to monitor activity on Hootsuite or another program. Plus having a laptop + phone + battery, is going to be a mess, trust me.
Just a week to the the 2016 World IA Day celebrations. As you plan the final details, here are a few tips for setting up the room and access to the event.
Reserve a few seats at the front for people who need them.
This recommendation comes from the STC Accessibility SIG, which has produced accessibility guides to their annual conference since 2002. They point out that this small accommodation is helpful for many people. They might need to be near the speaker to hear clearly or see the project screen, or have trouble with attention and benefit from the direct line of sight to the speaker.
Be ready to remove chairs to make room for anyone using a wheelchair, as well as for anyone they are with to sit near them.
If you have sign language interpreters, make time to talk to them when the arrive about how they want to set up. They may also ask you for a list of names or other important technical terms, so they can be sure to get them right. They will also want them in a place where they can trade places without disturbing anyone. And, you’ll need seats near them for anyone relying on them to hear the talks.
Face the audience when they speak.
I don’t mean they have to stand rigidly in one position, but even with a microphone, it’s harder to understand someone if you can’t see their face.
Don’t rush through their words. Pause between thoughts. It helps everyone, including people who got distracted for a minute, are listening in a second language. But captioners and interpreters will love them for it.
If you don’t have a microphone for the audience, ask them to repeat any questions before they answer them. This not only helps people in the room, but also makes sure that the question is included in any recording.
But, most of all, be a good host, and be ready to help with anything from providing a drinking straw to identifying a place to serve as a lactation room.
STC Conference Accessibility Guides: How (and Why) They Were Created is an article by Karen Marshal that gives some of the background of this long-running project.
The ADA Voting Checklist was created by the Department of Justice to help election officials check the accessibility of polling places. That may not sound very promising, but it’s actually a useful guide to walking through a public space.
Organizing More Accessible Tech Events is a broader view from an event organizer about creating an inclusive culture at your event.
We’re getting closer to The Day. As registration opens, there will be a lot of activity to promote the events on social media and email. Just a few tips to keep in mind to make sure that everyone can read your messages.
Let’s start with email. Although many people will allow HTML content in email, many won’t. And the problem gets worse when all of the information is embedded in an image.
No other text at all. Not exactly great communication.
If you are sending an HTML email, use “alt text” in the image tag to repeat any information in the image.
Include the information above or below the image.
For example, if you have a banner with your group name, the location, data, and time of the event you can just repeat it in text. That way, whether the image isn’t loaded or the person can’t read it, they still get the critical information about what, when, where, and how to register.
You can use the same trick in social media: include both the image and enough text to communicate the message (even in 140 characters).
There’s tons of choice in social media managers. Choose one you like, and then use it in an inclusive way. As I was working on this post, Molly Holzschlag* shared a tool with useful functionality and good accessibility. Buffer’s Pablo app lets you add text to an image for posting on social media. It’s quick and easy, but the best part is that it automatically inserts the text from the photo the message text.
The tips for setting color contrast and writing alt text in the post about registration forms applies here, too.
Check the size of the image and make sure it fits well in a smaller message window. Wide images can also stop text from wrapping, making it impossible to see all of the information on a mobile device. If you are using a message app, be sure to check out a test message on different screen sizes.
Think about what any image will look like when it’s displayed as a thumbnail–which might be scaled or cropped, depending on the platform.
Make sure the message comes through with–and without–the images.
Remember that social media is global, so make the location clear for in-person events.
If you have a good solution for managing social media or a question about how to make it accessible, share it here.
Personas to help UX teams understand how to design for people with disabilities have been popping up on the web.
We love personas and created a group of web user personas to help illustrate A Web for Everyone. While our personas are a good staring point, the most effective personas represent the people in a particular context. We love these two examples of personas for university students and banking customers.
For example, the BC Open Text Accessibility Toolkit, extended and adapted our personas for people who create textbooks, so the personas represent different types of students. Their goal is to help everyone create “a truly open and accessible textbook” because today anyone from an instructional designer to a professor might be a content creator.
To make the more specific to the context, they focused on students with print disabilities, based on data about the tools that university students use and their own focus groups. As an added bonus, they included samples of the assistive technology each persona might use.
It’s not surprising to find open access educational projects, but the Barclay’s IT Accessibility Team has made their personas open source to allow others to benefit from their research.
The Barclay’s Diverse Personas are published as a PDF booklet or as a Word file.
Each person includes the top design tips and a detailed profile with information about how they use technology, their life and goals, and banking products they use.
If you are interested in how the team uses the personas, take a look at the case study in the Slideshare presentation Building Accessible Apps: Barclay’s Mobile Banking. It shows how they switched from a single accessibility evaluation at the end — too late to make changes — to ongoing accessibility reviews, starting from the design phase.
I’m working with World IA Day 2016 – a one-day (February 20, 2016), annual celebration focused on the practice and education of Information Architecture. As accessibility coordinator, I’m helping local celebrations be welcoming to everyone.
This month the location pages went live, and organizers started to open registration for the World IA Day celebrations. Many will use a registration platform like EventBrite, because it handles so much of the housekeeping.
Unfortunately, there are no perfectly accessible registration systems, but you can do two things to make sure that the biggest barrier to attending an event isn’t signing up for a ticket.
Use good color contrast, especially for important elements like text, links and buttons. The guideline is that the contrast ratio between the text and background should be at least 4.5:1 (for reference, black on white is 21:1). Don’t worry if that doesn’t mean much to you – there are a lot of easy, free tools online that you can use for a quick check.
Add alternative text to any images. The most important images on registration sites are functional: buttons, informational icons, or credit card symbols. If ithere is text in the image, repeat it in the image tag as alt text. If it’s an icon, say what it means.
Add labels to forms. If you are writing your own form, connect the field labels to the field. This isn’t as hard as it sounds…even a code duffer like me can do it.
Once you are done, you can check the whole page with one of the accessibility checkers. They aren’t infallible, but they can identify many problems people using assistive technology might run into, so you can know about them (and hopefully fix them).
And that leads to the second thing you can do: offer alternatives and support if someone has problems.
Make sure there’s a way to contact you so you can get them signed up, even after they run into a barrier.
Speak directly to anyone who needs your help so they can have a great WIAD celebration with you.
These tools let you check whether a foreground and background color combination meets accessibility guidelines. The three here also help you adjust or create the color palette for good contrast.
WAVE from WebAIM has an online version and a Chrome extension.
And, the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative has a long list of more evaluation tools.
Thinking about planning an accessible event might seem overwhelming for a volunteer group. But it doesn’t have to be. The key is to take it in steps so that accessibility-thinking is just part of everything you do.
This series of articles will help you make sure that your event welcomes everyone, including people who might need help with mobility, vision, or other disabilities. We’ll follow along as you plan your event, with tips and resources.
The launch of the World IA Day 2016 Teaser video reminded me that we need to talk about captions to make sure that everyone has access to the information in videos, whether they are promos or recordings of a presentation.
Little known fact: the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology won an Emmy for their work to develop closed captions. The same feature that lets us watch 3 different games at time in a sports bar opens the door to video content for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing.
Like so many accessibility features, captions are also helpful for many reasons: Maybe you are in a noisy space. don’t have earphones. Need help understanding the language. In fact, YouTube (and other video players ) use the same features to provide alternative language subtitles – perfect for the WIAD international audience.
It’s actually pretty easy to make captions.
The good news is that the days of painstakingly figuring out the time codes are long gone. Most of the big video servers have tools that make it easy.
It might seem unnecessary since the music is just to set a mood, but with the caption, someone who can’t hear knows they aren’t missing any critical information.
What if the video has a voice-over? Chances are you have the script with the text. On YouTube, you can just upload that script and the system will automatically match up the text and create the captions. If the sync isn’t perfect, you can tweak it using the built-in tools.
Sometimes, you have no script at all, like a recording of a presentation. When that’s the case, you have to roll up your sleeves for a little bit of work.
The fastest and most accurate way to get started is to make a transcript. On YouTube, you just upload the transcript and the automatic sync process creates the captions, matching the written text using their speech recognition engine.
You can also use a crowd-sourcing tool like Amara to get many people work together to create captions. Each person can do a little bit of work (or work in a different language), so no one has to do it all.
If you are working in YouTube, you’ll notice a tool create automatic captions. Unfortunately, it’s not really ready for prime time. The mistakes can be funny, or they can make the captions incomprehensible. Advocates call them “craptions.” But those automatic captions have their uses. Use them as a starting point, download the file and then correct the text as a shortcut to making a good transcript. Saves a lot of time.
Want to make your captions even cooler? Don’t just transcribe the words: add information about sound effects, dramatic information, and identify the speakers.
Add dramatic information at the beginning of a line: (WHISPERS) But don’t tell anyone!
Identify the speakers by adding their name or other info: JAMES SMITH, Hometown Press: I’d like to knowor PRESENTER: Any questions? AUDIENCE MEMBER: My question is…..
Want to learn a little bit more about captions and subtitles?

If you find another good tool for making video accessible, share it here and tell us how you use it!
Right now, you are probably just starting your event planning. One of the first steps in having an event for everyone is to make sure your venue is accessible.
How will people get to the event? Provide information about parking. Provide information about public transportation, too, because people with disabilities may not drive. Include how to find the correct entrance from the street or parking.
How will people get into the building? Check whether someone using a wheelchair or with other mobility issues use the main entrance, or do they have to find a special “handicapped” entrance? If the main entrance is not accessible, are there clear signs to point people in the right direction?
How will people find the meeting room? Check the path from the entrance to the meeting area. Look for good wayfinding signs, clearly marked elevators, and Braille labels for elevators. If the path is hard to find, plan to have good signs and volunteers placed at crossroads who can help direct people.
* Does the meeting area have facilities for people with disabilities? Check the restrooms near the meeting area and make sure they are accessible. If they are on a different floor or a long way away, check the wayfinding as you did with the building entrance, and plan now for how you will direct people.
The National Federation of the Blind has directions that include great instructions for someone coming to a new place for the first time. The details are tailored for the blind, but are helpful for everyone. A good model, covering driving, cabs, and public transportation.
The ACM SIG-ACCESS Accessible Conference Guide covers all aspects of event planning, based on their experience running an annual conference for about 130 people that is attended by people with disabilities. In a typical year, there might be attendees who are blind, have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, use a power wheelchair or an electric scooter, have limited dexterity, and limited mobility. ASSETS strives to create an environment in which all attendees can participate and socialize together.
As you might expect from lawyers, the Accessible Meetings Toolkit (pdf) from the American Bar Association covers requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but they are relevant everywhere.

So... As everyone surely knows, this Friday is the start of the 2012 Olympics! All eyes will be turned to the United Kingdom as the hosting country, and though our opening ceremony will most likely leave the world a little underwhelmed, it's the perfect occasion for some nail art!
For this nail art design I decided to combine a little patriotism with the different Olympic events! Can you guess what event each nail represents?
Thumb: The Union Jack - Go Team GB!
3) Paint in the blue triangular areas!
From top left to bottom right: Sailing, Cycling, Sprinting and Gymnastics!
For each event I decided to paint on stick athletes as they were nice and simple to draw on. For each nail, paint on a white base coat then once this has dried, paint on the stick athletes in black!
From top left to bottom right: Diving, High Jump, Volleyball and Archery!
What do you guys think? Do you have any Olympic-themed nails on at the moment?

Rome’s Ultimate bringing the Eternal City to the next level!
The Colosseum also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I’s victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch.
First constructed in the 6th century BCE the circus was a chariot racetrack in Rome. It was also used for other public events such as the Roman Games and gladiator fights and was last used for chariot races in the 6th century CE. It was partially excavated in the 20th century CE and then remodeled but it continues today as one of the modern city’s most important public spaces, hosting huge crowds at music concerts and rallies.
Among the most splendid monuments of ancient Rome is the building known as the Thermae Antoninianae, or, as we call them, “the baths of Caracalla”. They were the second largest Roman public baths, built between AD 212 and 217, during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Caracalla Today, the roofs have collapsed, many walls have fallen down, the statues have been removed, and the decoration is gone, but yet, the ruins belong to the most impressive remains of Antiquity.
This is the largest and one of the best-preserved gates passing through the Aurelian Walls in Rome. Originally known as the Porta Appia, the gate sat astride the Appian Way. During the Middle Ages probably it was also called Accia (or Dazza or Datia), a name whose etymology is quite uncertain, but arguably associated with the river Almone, called “acqua Accia”, that flowed nearby.The present name is attested only since the second half of 15th century, due to the vicinity to the Basilica of San Sebastiano and its catacombs.
The Appian Way was one of the earliest and strategically most important Roman roads of the ancient republic. It connected Rome to Brindisi, in southeast Italy. The road is named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who began and completed the first section as a military road to the south in 312 BC during the Samnite Wars. Via Appia was used as a main route for military supplies since its construction for that purpose in 312 B.C. It was the first long road built specifically to transport troops outside the smaller region of greater Rome.
The Parco degli Acquedotti is part of the Appian Way Regional Park and is of approximately 240 ha. The park is named after the aqueducts that go through it. It is crossed on one side by the Aqua Felix and also contains part of the Aqua Claudia and the remains of Villa delle Vignacce to the North West. A short stretch of the original Roman Via Latina can also be seen. Some of Rome’s most famous emperors had a hand in the aqueduct. Emperor Caligula started building (38 AD), Claudius completed it (52 AD), Vespasian restored it (71 AD) and Titus restored it again (81 AD).
Our guide will meet you at the our office – Via Dei Serpenti 89 at 10am.

With the Jamaican capital of Kingston being an extremely important commercial hub in the Caribbean area, it was only natural that air transportation here would flourish. What used to be an isolated island in the ocean is now an air link between 3 continents, a popular travel destination and a busy air traffic hive; all of this being coordinated from the Norman Manley International Airport (also known as Kingston Manley, or simply by its international indicator – KIN).
The airport is located some 20 minutes away from the center of Kingston and it’s situated on a sharp peninsula of the island, offering quite a picturesque view as you descend for the landing strip. Because it’s the only large scale airport in the area, Kingston Manley caters to a high percentage of the commercial and air freight flights (the official numbers say it’s somewhere in the 70%) besides the general public transportation. And speaking of public transportation, the airport handles roughly 50,000 people each day, which makes it a rather busy site, by any standards.
Although the local transportation system from the airport to Kingston is decently handled, you might want a bit more freedom in terms of going around the area, especially if you’re on a leisure trip. Check out our search engine for cheap car rental services in Kingston, you’re bound to find a quality budget deal there.
So now you know where you’re landing and what to do there, but let’s go back a few steps to the issue that probably brought you here: getting the cheapest ticket to Kingston that you can find. The bad news is that finding cheap flights to Kingston might not be as easy as with a high traffic United States airport though, as few destinations get the privilege of being handled by two airlines from Kingston. Whereas domestic and neighboring traffic is handled by Air Jamaica, the rest of the destinations are covered by several individual airlines, so prices won’t get the kind of competition needed in order to produce some decent budget deals.
The good however is that it CAN be found, you just need to dig in a little deeper to get these great ticket deals. And that’s exactly what we did ;) We looked at some of the most important travel websites out there and looked at the prices they offer from various destinations to Kingston. If you’re from the United States, there’s a good chance that the best deals to Kingston will be the ones on paths from Florida or New York.
Please take into account that Jamaica is a growing holiday destination, thus prices tend to go higher during the summer. If you plan on going there in the May-August window you might want to book your flight early on, to make sure you’re getting a great bargain. Otherwise, if the airline gets too crowded, they will raise their price and you might lose some of the deal’s value.
Specify your search details. Browse the cheapest flights to Kingston, Kingston hotel rooms and Kingston vacation packages from the most popular providers, airline consolidators and travel search engines.

Hurray, I almost pulled off my machine's move correctly! Almost, because I once again forgot that I have 'jmac.org' registered as both a domain and a host, which makes changing the former harder than merely adjusting the aim on its nameservers, since the latter has an IP explicitly tied to it, and mutual stumbling-over occurs. So my domain was screwed up for the third time this year, but this time for only about a day. Lesson learned: Don't do that. I'm gonna change the host's name to ns.jmac.org or something.
Spent the holidays back in Maine, where, visiting friends, I started to playtest a board game I am designing. The rules remain far from stable; I hope to see them solidify with more testing this month.
Well, that sucked. jmac.org fell off the Internet for almost three weeks when my server machine, still in Maine, went down and stayed down, and I wasn't able to immediately tend to it because I had to skip town for a week. Thanks to the kindess of friends (spurred by the careful application of ORA book bribes among them), the problem was traced to an improperly grounded motherboard: my bad, since I originally cobbled the box together last year.
Happily, I just got set up with DSL in my Somerville, MA apartment, allowing me to bring the machine back home with me when I return from my northward holiday trip, and after what I hope will be a much shorter bit of downtime, I'll once again have my domain back under my local control.
If you are clumsy with hardware, don't try to build a computer without a clueful friend's sanity check on your work.
Plan for what to do when a remotely-located server goes down. This should be self-evident, but I'm a hacker, not a sysadmin; sometimes I'm afraid I learn responsibility only when it comes along and kicks me in the face. Maybe I'll get better at it now.
Well, I've done stuff in the meantime. I attended an XML conference, for example.
Made my very first XML page, an RSS version of the Mac open source catalog's recent uploads page. The site has since gotten itself picked up by Meerkat, my Internet what's-new page of choice, so that's pretty neat.
Now that I'm no longer with MINT, I can't really keep my open-source software lying around on their servers anymore, so I have moved development of two of my Perl module projects to SourceForge: DBIx::Schema, which until now had its homepage on jmac.org, and the as-yet-unreleased Business::Cart, which so far hasn't been seen outside of MINT's servers. While I find Schema generally useful and plan on continuing to develop it, Cart deals with stuff I no longer have much personal involvement with, so I'm hoping that the rest of the world will find it useful. I wonder what will happen next.
Allow me this paragraph to thank Adelphia, MINT's parent company, for their surprising and wonderful decision to give the programming team I was with the go-ahead to open up all our projects. Yay, Adelphia.
jmac.org was mostly down over the weekend while I moved and upgraded undef, my main server. It now has three times as much RAM and 26 times as much hard disk space as it used to. Pretty good! As for moving, it now shares a minihub with mikomi.org's server at a friend's apartment, where it will live until I can get DSL at my new apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts.
I move myself so far away from Maine (which has been my home for almost 10 years) so that I can start a new job with a really cool company. I have learned and grown much under my current employers, but it's time for me to move on. How excited I am. Whee, I say!
I have started to categorize and becaption some of the pictures I've been taking with the digital camera I bought a few months ago. You may enjoy an album of images from my July California trip.
I mushed all my game-related information and links onto one page, somewhat reducing the clutter on the site's front door, and providing me with a good spot to include links to games that my friends and associates have made around the Web.
I discovered, to my delighted surprise, that the latest Wunderland Weekly News linked to my heretofore secret Martian Chess: The Computer Game page, about a project I've been kicking around since the year started. Unlike many of my other projects, it's actually usable. Sort of.
The Con was beautiful, but I have been too lazy to finish my report yet. This has been excaberated by the fact that an issue of The Perl Journal I picked up there inspired me to write my own entry into that magazine's Second Annual Obfuscated Perl Contest.
In preparation for my visit to the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, I designed a business card for myself and this site, and had a box of 'em printed. I think they look real swell.
Thinking out loud about a free Internet book database.
Trying a second time with my media journal. I stopped adding titles to my first journal soon after I launched it last December, because the very thought of editing and maintaining collections of static HTML files is just too much for me to bear these days. This weekend, I was able to apply the same tricks I used with the Mac site to revitalize the media site in a matter of hours. Pretty good.
At long last, completed the beta of the new, more interactive Mac OS Open Source catalog, and put it online. I am keeping the old page online for now as well, but will phase it out once I am confident that the new site works well.
Snipped off last year's portion of this update log and put it on its own page.
Finished another book review, this time of Mastering Algorithms with Perl.
Put up a support page for DBIx::Schema, a Perl module I spent much of my March work-time developing, and which I have just uploaded to my brand new CPAN account. It's now sitting in the main modules directories, under "DBIx". Yay!
Very very busy on big projects, still. I made a little page about my office, anyway. Also, a Bob-A-Loop page.
I put up yet another Disbroken while you weren't looking, about a month ago. Sometime more recently than that I came to the conclusion that trying to wrap myself around any arbitrary schedule for a repeating project like a comic strip is sadly, a fruitless exercise, since I am too easily distracted by other brilliant ideas that come along, and weeks may pass before I come up for a breath of air. Most recently this has taken the form of some especially nerdy projects, so at least I have taken the time to start documenting their development on my brand-new projects page.
So, Disbroken will continue being a whenever-I-feel-like-it strip, and so long as I keep thinking up new ways to waste my time, the times I feel like it shall remain distant. Such is me.

The meristem seen towards the lateral sides of the organ is known as the lateral meristem. They are seen along the sides of the stem and root. The vascular cambium and cork cambium are examples of lateral meristem. The lateral meristem helps in the growth in thickness of the plant body.

"True power lies between the stars…"
Outwardly gruff and rather terse, Fembrys' facade does little to mask his true persona; that of a sick and cruel sociopath, devoted to the dark goddess Shar. Fembrys, along with Father Shan Thar Lady Arthas and other unknown parties, constructed a false temple of Mystra in Wheloon and used it as a front to lure unsuspecting petitioners to their deaths as sacrifices for Shar.
Fembrys used an obscure artifact called 'The Starry Gnosis' to dominate groups of petitioners and send them to their dead or worse. His macabre hobby consisted of torturing the patrons he was able to wrest from Lady Arthas. He would then remove their heads, stuff them, and mount them on the wall of his room.
The PCs almost shared a common fate with these poor unsuspecting patrons; Fembrys conducted the nightly sermons for them while undergoing "Mystra's Sacred Trust". During his final sermon he attempted to use the Gnosis to dominate the group. Many of them fell victim to the dark orb's effect, but Nimmik and Percival withstood. The crusader of Kelemvor subsequently knocked Fembrys into a coma and nearly removed his jaw from his head. And Silas ruined any chances of further nefarious plots involving the 'Starry Gnosis' by "tactically" destroying it.
Fembrys, though still alive, is still in a deep coma, from which he will most likely never wake. Lord Sarp has little compassion for conspirators, however, and the evil cleric will be put to death.

It makes you look younger. Before dying, she spent more than a month in hospital. I saw Tony off at Kansai International Airport. If you've got time to play around on an acoustic guitar, practice your bass! Did you win? Be at the train station at eleven sharp. Do you think that really matters to any of us? You should resign. We were in London last winter. It takes years to grow a tree, yet it takes seconds to cut it.

Even science is not an exact science. The number of students in this class is limited to 15. Dawn knows he can't win. The party, therefore, had to take another route.
I saw two men struggling for the knife. I am a bad person. Charges against Hotta have been dropped. It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic. Nothing has gone right all day. Eva is cleverer than me. In her latest works she lets the uncanny swing like a grotesque pendulum from the humorous into homelike cosiness and back again. I am glad to hear it. I agreed to have dinner with him. I paid $200 for this bag.
Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I forgot. I ended up tripping and skinning my knee while I was it in our game of blind man's bluff. Spring is the season that Lucy likes best. Case made a sandwich for lunch. Why don't we form a study group? Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. He once owned a lot of land. Marcel looked down at the ground. Our current house is too small, so we decided to move. Are you really going to cook dinner for us?
We understand each other. Can Moore drive himself home? Terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001. What a pleasant surprise to see you here! Pria used to play bass in my band. I have no idea what Surya's talking about. I suggested that to him. You know his name, don't you? The whole night was ruined by the fight between Monica and Ronald. Some people claim to know everything.
I'm kind of mad at myself. Can you and I be friends again? If Lou could speak French, I'd hire him right away. I just said so without thinking much about it. I didn't mean anything serious. I have ten pens more than you do. This national treasure can be seen by the public only once a year. I will say something about it. Do you have many hobbies? What did you say her name was? You may give this picture to whoever wants it.
I'm so happy I left Boston. I don't have any demands. That's a pathetic excuse. Damon keeps a dream journal which she writes in every morning as soon as she wakes up. I don't want to go to rehab. Mann went to the YMCA. Your wish is a command for me. I don't want to run such a risk. Saqib and I are on our way home. The unprecedented drought did severe damage to the wheat harvest.
We want to explore an underwater oil field. Jussi was forced to resign. I'll work as long as I live. The mayor acknowledged her services to the city. I've got to leave Boston. I told Edward that it was important to be there by 2:30. Holly shot down the enemy aircraft. I'm still not ready yet. Do they have a dictionary? Did you know her personally?
Does it look like the plane will be crowded? Shirley says he saw who crashed into Kamiya's car. He dug the hole bit by bit. Do not mention the accident before the children. There's not much juice left in the bottle. It may take many years. I am thankful for my children. Last year, my brother was late for school every day. One of us will have to ask Hector what he thinks. The doctor dosed the girl with antibiotics.
We need to nourish our spirit. We're intrigued. Venkata jabbed Mitchell in the ribs. I'll take care of the horses. It's my life! Tell me what you ate for lunch. We must leave this place. We'll get through this just fine. If I had had enough money, I could have bought it. Dani has short hair.

Jake Honig, a seven-year-old boy who died last January due to a rare bone cancer, seems to have moved the governor to make this particular decision. Jake, who received the nickname “Jake the Tank” because of the strength he showed during a five-year battle with bone cancer, was in remission for three years. However, his cancer came back, and he passed away last month.
The Honig family was hoping that changes would soon be made to current medical marijuana laws. They were also imploring their community to send letters to lawmakers so that Jake could have had easier access to the medication that helped him deal with his cancer.
Two days after Jake’s death, his parents, Mike and Janet, and Gianna, his six-year-old sister, stood beside Governor Murphy as he signed the executive order. The Honig family were holding a photo of Jake during the signing.
Phil Murphy was sworn in as the governor of the state last January, and he invited Jake’s family, who came in from Howell, New Jersey, to attend the press conference and the signing.
New Jersey is one of the 29 states in the country that allows medical marijuana. However, the state limits marijuana prescriptions to those who have “certain state-approved conditions.” This means thousands are unable to take part in the program. Meanwhile, the 15,000 people who benefit from it can only go to five dispensaries in New Jersey.
Last year, Jake was sent home on hospice in December with six drugs that included anti-nausea medication, oxycodone, and morphine. Mike and Janet discovered that medical marijuana proved to be effective when it came to Jake’s symptoms. The young boy didn’t experience any “harsh side effects” as he did with the other drugs.

Intercultural Education. New looks, skills, paths.
The book traces the history of an idea and an approach to cultural differences found in Europe and outside Europe and practiced in Italy for about a decade. The book aims to show that in addition to cultural differences to enhance and promote the search for what is above us closer - the feelings, emotions and ways of life to represent them in the stories and knowledge - that the encounter with the other finds its reasons and its concrete experiences.
The pedagogy explores the complex identity of modern man, and this is the attitude intercultural, where time is experienced as simultaneous experiences interacting in a production interior and random, in a conception of time that is different from the canonical cumulative, irreversible and purposeful, in an opposite attitude monocultural. Space is at a given psychological autonomy, compared to a single point of contact and unchangeable. The identity is an ongoing process where continuity and discontinuity are alternating and open to change.

Come out and skate or cycle up to 100 miles with us on September 6th & 7th 2008 to benefit those suffering from the devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis. After Saturday's skate/ride from Volvo Trucks North America in Greensboro to Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, hang out and mingle with other event participants: eat, drink and be proud of yourself for skating that far. Camp out at the campsite or in a nearby hotel room for much-deserved sleep, wake up next day and give your body another great workout skating (or cycling) back to Greensboro for lunch! The first day is usually 47 or so miles, with up to 100 miles via additional loops. The second day is usually a bit shorter and slightly easier with a small overall elevation drop, for a total mileage of approximately 90 miles. But nobody cares how much you skate or bike, so come out and start with us, and quit when you like, catching a ride to the festivities on the lawn at Tanglewood. Shuttle vehicles take you to local hotels or by prior arrangement back to your car at Volvo, and back to Tanglewood the next day.

Whether you want to simply illuminate your components with natural looking white light or give your system a cool color theme with either red, blue, green, UV, or RGB LED strips, or illuminate the bottom of your case to give it a cool bottom glow, there’s no faster and easier way to make your system look like a lean mean gaming machine.
Whether you want to simply illuminate your components with natural looking white light or give your system a cool color theme with either red, blue, green, UV, or RGB LED strips, or illuminate the bottom of your case to give it a cool bottom glow, there’s no faster and easier way to make your system look like a lean mean gaming machine. CableMod was kind enough to provide us with two kits of their Blue Magnetic 60cm LED’s to take a look at.
Thermaltake released their Suppressor series of cases with a stress on sound reduction and the ability for increased cooling options. Supporting all types of platforms from Mini-ITX to even E-ATX motherboards, it is incredibly dynamic. The case has an innovative optical drive and HDD cage tool-free design, which is inspired from more enterprise solutions.
The Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 is a compact PC case made for flexibility in cooling. Capable of housing either a Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard, and following the tradition of the ‘Carbide Air’ cases with split compartment design – it truly is a striking case. With the aggressive front fascia that we’ve come to know in the series, and an overall reduction in size of 40% from the Air 540 – it is a remarkable and extraordinary small form factor computer case.
Today we’re going to be looking at the BitFenix Nova – a budget oriented case that is aimed at evolving the definition of inexpensive design. Having a closed off front panel, with only one optical drive, it retains a sleek look, that continues along the top of the case as well. A large side window allows you to view your creation, and is not typically seen on most budget oriented cases. With support for Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, and full sized ATX boards – the diversity of motherboard options in this case is not bad either.
Thermaltake recently released their Core series of computer cases with user-friendly features in mind. Things like modularity, stackability and more were built into these cases to bring a whole new level to the enthusiast PC case market. The case we'll be looking at today is their Core X1. It's a feature-packed modular mini ITX case that is designed for use with water cooling. With ITX builds all the rage these days let's see how the Core X1 stacks up.
The F12C by Streacom is designed to be for the high-end market for these kind of cases, and with its all metal construction – it does not disappoint. With support for motherboards ranging from Mini-ITX all the way up to full-sized ATX boards; and an exterior constructed from thick 4mm premium grade extruded and sandblasted aluminum panels, it creates a simple but timeless design. With a unique hardware mounting system, and an equally innovative top panel release mechanism; this case is guaranteed to be an attractive spectacle for anyone interested in the design aspect of computer cases.

A number of creatives to celebrate the nation at 58.
Multimedia Content created daily, while stuck in Lagos Traffic. All illustrations and animations are done on my mobile phone.
Every illustration/animation is inspired by someone seen, something heard or even whatever is smelt while on the roads of Lagos.
The daily 4 hours spent in traffic have become a source of constant creation and expression for me.
These lights ultimately guide us all home.
Where do we not go in our heads?
It all falls into place eventually.Bother Less.
Be cool and calm like the waters of the ocean,my friend.
The Passion of fans at the 2018 World Cup.
What’s your fancy for the night?
How would you like it today?
I saw her mouthing the lyrics of a track and being lost in the world of her music.
When the road situation is nothing but a love relationship between TRAFFIC and CHAOS.
When the temperature on Lagos roads is out to roast you alive.
When everyone on the road has a grumpy “WHY AM I AWAKE?” look.
When all my thoughts are about how unbearable the traffic is, and I am tempted to return home.
When Passengers just want to showoff their dentition to other car drivers.
Reading about the death of great Theoretical Physicist Stephen Hawkings.
It was a week and a few days to the 2018 World Cup and a campaign needed to be created for Nigeria’s biggest Telecom provider. As always said, crazy deadlines give rise to insane creative outputs. With lack of sleep and lots of dedication, this campaign was born; “This is Naija…where football lives”. This theme was expressed various impactful ways.
A commercial shot in record time just to coincide with the Nigerian team playing Argentina at the World Cup.
Radios and Digital Skits Created to celebrate the passion the World cup Season brings.
This is an expression of influence as a wave in constant motion; spreading itself slowly and purposefully into minds and hearts. Its reach is endless and powers without limit. The ripple is why you love who or what you love right now, it builds affinity on unexpected levels and forever remains amorphous; it evolves and adapts with the passage of time. The ripple of influence is everywhere.
The pattern in the ads is a reference to Ankara, the most popular fabric worn in Nigeria and a symbol of the country’s rich and highly diverse heritage.These designs were part of an intricate line of lifestyle items created for the Orijin brand in Nigeria to expand the brands appeal amongst the young.
Fun political posters and online conversation starter as part of our contribution to the American election controversy.
We noticed that a search for identity exists amongst young trendy urban Africans. So we turned a brand that truly celebrates the African origin as an expression of personality for the young African.
Dads rarely get celebrated. So for Interswitch, one of Nigeria's leading fintech brands, we decided to develop creatives for several platforms, that celebrated and recognise how dads build the dreams of their children.
The brief was simply to create a Christmas card that would never be thrown out after the celebration. So we created the Certificate of Awesomeness, a card that appreciated everyone for every little thing that they might have done, but had meant the world to lots of people. More than 5,000 copies of this cards were shared as Direct Mailers and up till this very moment they are on the shelves of those that received them.
Imagine a world without violence against women and girls. Imagine a world without violence. This is the world we want for all. Online posters and press materials designed and deployed as part of Access Bank's collaboration with UNDP to end violence against women and girls in the society.
Scripting for a number of commercials ,animated flicks and shorts.
Scripting for an award winning online short animated horror series.
An emotional piece scripted to tell the story of the connection between a mother and her child, and how she feels about gifting his first mobile phone.
A fun collaboration done in record time. This just mirrors the reality of the of that one person with the fastest and strongest Wi-Fi connection in a Nigerian home.
Spot written and co-produced for Jara; an app built by a Nigerian start-up run by some adventurous young minds. Writing this was a lot of fun, and shooting was done with pretty much zero budget at a single location.
Spot written for Globacom, one of Nigeria's biggest Telco brand. It was created to re-interprete the popular TGIF chant!
Cannes Young Lions (Film) Winning Entry 2013. A commercial shot entirely with a mobile phone for Gabasawa Women and Children Empowerment Initiative's Project E-Twelve Fifty(E-1250). An initiative set-up to alleviate the prevalence of poverty in 1,250 vulnerable households domiciled in 5 communities of Lagos State through psychosocial support,skill acquisition and access to grants and micro-credit.
Fun Easter online videos done for agency promotion. The spots infer the resurrection that easter represents.
Part of a series of digital banners and print ads developed to recruit digital natives to join Nigeria's largest telecoms company. The fun discovery of the hidden messages in our ads got the attention of our targets and got thousands of applicants to reach out.
For families living on less $1.25 a day in Nigeria, there is little source of entertainment between couples. Therefore, they naturally seek solace in love making; "a wife is the last hope of a poor man" a common saying goes. And in a clime where reproductive healthcare is inadequate, this leads to more babies and in turn sinks the couple further into poverty. On Valentine's day, GOtv (low pay digital tv) takes on a bigger course, to remind the nation; love comes with responsibility.
Digital posts developed to make popular the social media handle(s) of Nigeria's fastest selling bleach brand.
Noah's Arks' fifth anniversary was themed the Creative Safari, we needed to ensure that animals would be on display. There are no taxidermists in Nigeria, so we decided to bring our totems/avatars (each staff picks one on joining the agency) alive the traditional way.
Many in history have told lies only to be found out and publicly embarrassed .This naturally gave rise to the insight to use in selling Dulux paints' superior hiding power.
Nigeria is the first African nation to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Sadly, we are yet to win a Cannes Lion, or put a dot on the map of The Gunn Report. This is the first series of ads in a larger campaign aimed at nudging the West African industry on the need for better global rating.
Campaign for a fast-food restaurant(Chicken Republic) popular in Nigeria and Ghana. Spoofing/mocking the popular stories of other fast-food outlets in the country, we laid beer our proposition that we do not spice up our stories, just our chicken.
Online and offline stickers created for Power Pasta Spaghetti. It boosts one's energy so much it changes all the age long narratives.
A number of cross platform creatives designed for Access Bank to endear parents towards getting their kids discover the world of banking early.
A number of strategic creatives developed for Harp Lager Beer, most of which were a tad bit controversial, and made for interesting online chatter.
Arguably Nigeria’s most rejected print ad because it was taking on a terrorist group when no one dared. Eventually only one Nigerian Newspaper was bold enough to run it as defiance stance to the attitude of the terrorist demonizing education.
For Paga money transfer, we explored the wild imagination different types of people have when they are transferring money through individuals they have a low level of trust for.

• Thur 9-12 – Nancy Bush, "Hell in a Handbasket"
• Thur 9-12 – Gabriel S, "Bioenergy Workout"
• Thur 2-5 – Nancy Clark, "Koreo Healing Techniques"
• Thur 2-4 – Alex J. Hermosillo, "BE THE LIGHT for a Brighter Future"
A non-partisan look at our whats, whys, hows, and whethers about hell, with time for questions and discussion. What is hell, anyway? What purpose does it serve? Does it matter that the Hollywood version of hell is not biblical? If we don't believe right are we doomed? Fascinating!
Gabe has been a researcher for over a decade and has given lectures and workshops worldwide for years on topics related to consciousness studies, human potential, psychic development, subtle energy, out-of-body experiences and a scientific approach to spirituality. He is the coordinator of the International Academy of Consciousness (IAC)-New York Center.
The Bioenergy Workout is a fun yet informative 3-hour practical workshop during which students perform a series of diverse bioenergetic (chi, prana, subtle energy) exercises intended to help them develop their energetic capacities. Mastering our personal energies is one of the keys to maintaining equilibrium, becoming more self-aware, identifying and overcoming emotional imbalances, maintaining psychic self-defense, increasing our self-awareness and self-knowledge, unlocking our potential, and developing our psychic ability.
During the workout, Gabriel will first guide students through a series of foundational exercises, gradually layering on more complex ones as the class progresses. Students learn to exteriorize, absorb, control, donate and use energies using one's will, for unblocking and healing one's self. They will also apply techniques to develop their sensitivity and perceptions, including a clairvoyance exercise. The techniques practiced help students learn to revitalize their own energetic field, protect themselves energetically, identify external energetic influences, and increase their self-awareness about their energetic condition. Additionally the approach taken in the workshop is a scientific and clear one, devoid of unnecessary mysticism and obfuscation when approaching the topic of bioenergy and it's use in personal and spiritual development.
After each series of exercises participants will have the opportunity to share feedback with the rest of the workshop participants and compare and contrast perceptions and sensations experienced as a result of the exercises. Practical examples will be given in the workshop of how they techniques can be used in commons situations we find ourselves encountering in our daily lives. This workshop brings one closer to experience the energetic and multidimensional reality reported by those who have had experienced near-death experiences and other psychic and spiritual experiences.
The Bioenergy Workout is one of IAC’s most popular workshops and is regularly taught in numerous countries worldwide. Many people retake this workshop several times due to its effectiveness, practicality, and the positive cleansing and healing effects experienced in the workshop.
Gabe also serves on the IANDS Board.
Learn an amazing and complete energy medicine system to do on yourself and others.
In just a few hours you will learn to relieve pain anywhere in the body, promote healthy organs plus stimulate and move energy. Most important of all at this time in our Western society, you can reduce stress in your body.

Born with the natural gift of healing, Alex was given another gift in 1997 through a near-death experience where he gained wisdom from the beings of Light. Returning with his healing abilities and his physical and intuitive senses magnified, Alex brings forth the wisdom of Heaven and shares his gift of healing with you.
In this workshop, Alex will explain the different ways in which our bodies and consciousness stores information, and how anyone can release the energies that create emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual pain. With first-hand experience, Alex shares how he overcame negative thought patterns, past painful events, emotional distress, and physical pain to move beyond a life of non-nurturing relationships and family strife, addictions to alcohol and drugs, and even homelessness. Alex understands intimately the difficulties that humanity experiences, and today he serves as a conduit of light, love, and healing.
Alex will lead participants through a powerful healing meditation and show you simple, quick and effective exercises that anyone can do. He will assist you in releasing heartaches, heartbreaks, stresses, worries, physical aches, and pains, as well as fears of the future or grief due to the loss of a loved one. Participants will feel energized, clear, positive having experienced Heaven on Earth, and walk away with tools they can incorporate into their daily lives leading the way to a brighter future for themselves, their loved ones and humanity!
Frederic will present selections from his Symphony of Light album.
Review : In "Symphony of Light" Frederic Delarue not only channels his angelic muse, he explores beautiful classical selections as they appear to him throughout his playing. This is a unique experience and I would recommend that you first listen to "Voyage of the Soul" to truly understand the heart of Frederic Delarue. To fully enjoy this selection you have to be aware that he is "channeling" musical masters and that this is a celebration of classical music. His inspiration includes: "Für Elise," "Moonlight Sonata," "Mozart's Symphony #40." He also draws on inspiration from Strauss, Tchaikovsky and Schubert. His playing embodies a sense of tranquility and in this creation he draws on the past to unveil even more beauty captured in classical music. This is a warm and calming escape that has moments of recognition throughout, but retains Frederic Delarue's own sense of timing and energy. As a pianist/keyboardist he excels at creating musical landscapes filled with light and love.
Explore the important topics of Near-Death Experience (NDE), Nearing Death Awareness (NDA) and After Death Communication (ADC) with Rev. Debbi Brown, a Chaplain, minister and adult education specialist. Debbi is known as a soul-to-soul communicator, assisting loved ones who are making their sacred passageway home and their family members who might be struggling with it. She has decades of experience receiving messages from loved ones on the other side that bring peace and comfort to the living. Debbi has gathered many stories and evidence in her personal research to show how our loved ones continue to communicate with us even after death.
Determine how Nurses and other health care providers can have an important role in supporting and educating the public about the phenomenon of ADC.

On November 18, 2016, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued new Enforcement Guidance regarding national origin discrimination. The EEOC also published a parallel question and answer page, as well as a fact sheet on national origin discrimination applicable to small businesses. Although not carrying the force of law, like a statute or regulation, the Enforcement Guidance gives employers a clearer understanding of the EEOC’s enforcement and investigative priorities, along with examples of workplace conduct that the EEOC may deem to violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
National origin discrimination is discrimination because an individual or his/her ancestors is from a certain place or has the physical, cultural, or linguistic characteristics of a particular national origin group (such as language, accent, or attire). Title VII prohibits employer actions that have the purpose or effect of discriminating against persons because of their actual or perceived national origin. National origin discrimination is prohibited in all phases of the employment life cycle, from recruitment to hiring to training to promotion to pay to discharge, as is harassment based on national origin.
National origin charges comprise approximately 11% of the private sector charges filed annually with the EEOC. The Enforcement Guidance addresses many common scenarios addressed in such charges. First, the Enforcement Guidance encourages employers to be mindful of intersectionality; that is, when employees may be the target of workplace decisions or actions due to multiple protected bases, e.g., race and national origin, or national origin and religion. The Guidance also addresses the subject of human trafficking, noting that an action to compel labor or exploit workers from foreign countries may violate not only criminal laws, but Title VII as well, if the action (for example, harassment, segregation, unequal pay, or unreasonable paycheck deductions) is directed at an individual or group based on their national origin.
The Enforcement Guidance also makes clear that customer preference, such as relenting to customer pressure not to work with an employee who appears “foreign” or based on unsubstantiated fears of “terrorists,” likewise violates Title VII. So, too, do policies prohibiting employees from speaking in their preferred language during meal periods and breaks, or requiring English fluency for a job when it is not essential, or requiring U.S. citizenship when an employee has the necessary work authorization to hold a particular position. However, the Enforcement Guidance reinforces that employers may justify employment decisions based on national security requirements, when applicable, and may require applicants to complete the Form I-9 process to verify employment eligibility without violating Title VII.
As the American workforce becomes increasingly ethnically diverse, employers are advised to be mindful of potential workplace conflicts, to address prohibited discrimination in their policies, and to implement procedures for promptly investigating and remedying reports of discrimination. While the Enforcement Guidance does not announce new law, its unique employment scenarios provide a helpful training tool for employers and a refresher on Title VII.

Poignant. Heartbreaking. Touching. There are a lot of words I could use to describe this book, but the one that seems the most applicable is familiar. This is not because I can identify or even begin to imagine what the family has been through, but because the characters were all so very approachable. Rarely does a book draw the reader into the folds of its story so seamlessly as this one does.
The World Without You is about a family that is falling apart after the death of their son, brother and husband, Leo. Captured and killed while working as a journalist in Iraq, Leo’s funeral was overridden by the press one year earlier and the family has chosen to memorialize him in a small ceremony in his favorite Berkshires town in Massachusetts. Told through alternating perspectives, The World Without You holds nothing back in its portrayal of a family that is slowly disintegrating.
Noelle – Sister of Leo and mother of four boys. Noelle fled her promiscuous past, became a born-again Orthodox Jew and lives in Jerusalem. She shakes things up by bringing her own kosher food and dishes.
Thisbe – Leo’s young widow and mother of their three year old, Calder. She’s in the precarious position of being young and wanting to move forward and respecting her past and Leo’s legacy.
I want to hug this book.
Marilyn – Leo’s mother who is determined to make the weekend a success and for whom everyone else is trying to please.
Clarissa – Leo’s sister who is struggling with getting pregnant.
The author, Joshua Henkin, does a wonderful job of navigating the waters of real family battles while respecting the perspectives of each. There were no favorites, nor were there any overly dramatic moments to sully the underlying tone of authenticity.What I love about this book is that it is relatable. Anyone who has argued with siblings or felt chastised by in-laws will be able to identify with this book, whether or not they have lost a close family member. It oozes sincerity without the cheesiness that often accompanies that emotion, and it has moved into one of my favorite books of the year.

The words got out of my mouth before I could process them: “En sombras habito y en sombras camino, en sobras aguardo y en sombras me resguardo.” (“In shadows I live and in shadows I walk, in shadows I wait and in shadows I won’t fall.”) Call it a prayer, an affirmation, a spell, an incantation, whatever suits your spiritual path. The name doesn’t matter, only the effect. Nothing has happened to me when I walk alone in the night.
I have written about this before in my personal blog. Darkness doesn’t represent evil to me, just the unseen, that which we fear, that which we are still unable to control. If we go back to any creation myth, it all starts with darkness, with an emptiness that would then be filled. Darkness is originative; it doesn’t understand limits such as time and space. Rather than look at it as the enemy, I work with it as my sidekick.
After that night, something clicked in me. I usually have to go out at night to buy this or that at the supermarket, and it’s not a long walk, just a couple of minutes to arrive, but it only takes seconds for a life to end. Why take a risk if I could have support instead? Some could say that this just psychological, that it’s the law of attraction, but whatever it is, it has worked again and again and again. The name for the practice, again, is unimportant.
One doesn’t have to live in an unstable country such as Venezuela to ask darkness for protection and shelter. If someone needs it, finds comfort, beauty, or both in it, and understands that darkness doesn’t equal evil or harm, nor is it necessarily negative in any sense, then feel free to speak to the darkness honestly. Just be clear and concise.
These rhymes are just my approach on the matter. I feel better when my words rhyme. But one certainly doesn’t have be a poet to ask for help. However, if one finds rhymes appealing and feel more comfortable including them, then try using one of these options – or use them all – as a whole prayer or spell, or as a basis to create another prayer to the darkness entirely. Do what feels most comfortable.
(Shadows and darkness that surround me, protect from harm this noble heart.
[Deity of preference], come to me in this night of need.
No harm shall come my way, I shall be safe from harm and pain.

Students may access their academic records through YES. The site may also be accessed through the Law School intranet Quick Links. The VUnetID and e-password are necessary to access student information.
Vanderbilt Law School does not rank its students.
Anonymous grading is accomplished by a carefully planned system in which each student receives a randomly-assigned identification number for each exam. Students are not personally identified until the professor reports the grades of the written examination. Any adjustments to the exam grades, for class performance or other reasons, are made separately. Students may obtain the exam grade from the Academic Life Office. Final grades are posted in YES .
Re-grading and re-examination are not accepted practices in the Law School. Such measures would be in serious conflict with the anonymous grading system and are not regarded as appropriate methods to administer a fair, uniform, unbiased grading system. Accordingly, grade changes are made only in the event of a clerical error.

We know many of you are waiting for updates from Yulin so we want to share with you the information we have from our volunteers and sources on the ground. This year the torture fest has been much, much quieter than any other year. Campaigning has certainly helped but the real progress has come from the amazing Chinese activists.
We spent most of May in China with Mr Zhao who is an absolute hero. He explained how organisations had agreed to boycott buying dogs at Yulin and would all focus their efforts on stopping trucks. We prayed they would be successful. We were horrified to visit villages where they regularly steal dogs and send them up to Dongbei in the north where there are large slaughterhouses.
You may not know but most Chinese activists are just regular people who work in a day job volunteering when they can to make a difference. This year they did. They have stopped numerous trucks and completely disrupted the business of dogs going into Yulin. So much so that just as our photos show there were hardly any sellers at Yulin market.
This however is where the hard work starts.
Rescue is only ever the beginning of a long and often heart-breaking journey.
We run a partner shelter south of Beijing with over 400 dogs and 36 cats looking for love and a home. It’s hard work just feeding them and every month is a trial for Mr Zhao.
Yet right now he and our small team have gone to help the big rescue of 19 June at Guangzhou where over 1300 dogs were stopped from being eaten.
The problem everyone is facing is the villagers have objected to the dogs. Many have died and the police have refused for them to be taken away.
The temporary camp has had to move twice and as you can imagine moving hundreds of sick traumatised dogs is not easy.
We also desperately need to buy some specific medication that is not sold in the province. One box alone costs 125 RMB. (£15) and we are bringing it in from Beijing. We also need more dehydration fluids and medically trained professionals. Although the volunteers have brought supplies and donated from their own money we need finance to pay local vets to attend. They are terrified of infection and there is the risk of distemper.
Can you help? Do you have any contacts who can send us supplies or come and help? Can you donate so Mr Zhao can help contribute to the collective needs? Our plan when we can is to bring as many dogs as we can who are well enough to travel back to our shelter and give them refuge until they too can be rehomed.
NoToDogMeat has a large social media following and we are known for our work throughout Asa but financially we are only small. This is why we need your help. Please consider a regular donation however small and thank you so much to everyone who has supported us to date. We will share live feeds next week so you can see how funds are spent.
This man is a star. I hope there are people that can help with funds for this enormous task. He deserves our help. If everyone donated a little amount this would add up to massive help. Please consider giving or helping.
Please help the dogs and cats in the meat trade by sharing this post – and donate if you can. Thank you!
Please help share this everywhere you can. It’s really important.
I built and have worked in Mexico at Fiona Animal Refuge for the last 7 years and realize what you face with so many dogs. The public needs more information about the dog meat nightmare. I sign hundreds of petitions and donate but we need more. The rich and famous must be approached and donation sites must be easier to find. Plus YOU NEED TO REGISTER WITH THE US GOVERNMENT TO BECOME A 501(c)(3) so people can deduct the donations. EXPOSURE AND PICTURES WILL WAKE UP THE WORLD.
Anything you can do would be amazing.
our Samoyeds will arrive this month.
What absolutely wonderful people in this organisation to do what they do for these beautiful albeit pitiful animals, it’s horrific when you look at our own pets with all their luxuries. This has totally convinced me that I need to take a rescue as it’s so worthwhile.These people are genuine angels for all they do whilst so many turn a blind eye. It’s so sad that as a culture, the human race think they have made progress when in fact they are so barbaric..

Meanwhile, globally, topics such as 'International Women's Day', 'March for Our Lives', and 'The Royal Wedding' became the most discussed topics in 2018.
Several natural disasters occur in India every year such as floods in Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru; Latur and Bhuj earthquakes to recent Kerala floods to the latest cyclone Gaja, causing fatalities and destruction in varying degrees in every nook and corner of India.
The rains and the consequent deluge caused unprecedented destruction and forced more than a million people to take shelter in relief camps.
He said agencies such as the World Bank and the UN have also made an assessment of the damage and it is put at Rs 36,000 crore.
AAP MLAs had decided to donate a month's salary to the flood-hit state. The Delhi government had also donated Rs 10 crore to flood-ravaged Kerala.
"At that time, Modi reminded me that he had done a similar exercise when earthquake struck his state and the Gujarati diaspora came forward to help."
The famous Nehru Trophy Boat Race, which is both a major event and a prime tourist attraction in Kerala, will be held on 10 November.
The Indian Air Force came into force in 1932 as the Royal Indian Air Force under then British rule, and its name was changed to Indian Air Force in 1950.
Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor, attended the funeral and paid his respects to the hero of the Kerala floods.
It was the first Cabinet meeting this month as Vijayan left for the US for medical treatment on September 2 and returned early this week.
The worst floods to hit Kerala since 1924 have claimed hundreds of lives and caused widespread destruction.
Kerala's total direct earnings from the sector in the last calendar year touched Rs 26,000 crore, up from Rs 23,098 crore, a growth of 12.56 per cent.
"The amount totalling Rs 1,01,48,077 was raised through the contribution of NSG personnel who donated one day's salary," Lakhtakia said.

Alpha GmbH & Co. Schiffsbesitz KG v. BIP Industries Co.
Alpha GmbH & Co. Schiffsbesitz KGv.BIP Industries Co.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Gammerman, J.H.O.), entered October 21, 2004, which, in an action on a guaranty, granted plaintiff's motion and denied defendant's cross motion for summary judgment, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
Zimmet Bieber LLP, New York (Bruce W. Bieber of counsel), for appellant.
Salisbury Ryan, LLP, New York (Patrick P. Salisbury of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Buckley, P.J., Friedman, Marlow, Sullivan and Malone, JJ., concur.
Defendant's failure to plead fraudulent concealment in its answer does not bar that defense, where defendant did not learn of the defense until some two years after it filed its answer. It could not in any event have moved for leave to amend since for most of the two-year period the action was stayed pending an arbitration between its subsidiary and plaintiff. When it did raise the defense in its cross motion for summary judgment shortly after the arbitration stay was lifted, plaintiff did not claim surprise or prejudice, and indeed opposed the defense on the merits ( see Rogoff v. San Juan Racing Assn., 54 NY2d 883). Nor is the defense barred by the decision in the arbitration, which had nothing to do with whether plaintiff fraudulently induced defendant to guarantee its subsidiary's obligations. However, assuming, without deciding, that the defense is not barred by the terms of the guaranty, we find it fails on the merits. The parties, businesses on opposite sides of a transaction, and each represented by counsel, were not in a confidential or fiduciary relationship, and the allegedly concealed information, plaintiff's insolvency and dissolution, were matters of public record that defendant could have discovered by the exercise of ordinary diligence ( see National Union Fire Ins. Co. v. Red Apple Group, 273 AD2d 140, 141; Aaron Ferer Sons Ltd. v. Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 731 F2d 112, 123 [2d Cir 1984]; WestRM-West Risk Mkts., Ltd. v. Lumbermens Mut. Cas. Co., 314 F Supp 2d 229, 239 [SD NY 2004]). In dismissing the defense, the motion court did not improperly decide an issue of fact against defendant, but merely applied law concerning fraudulent concealment and public records.

My Seafly’s sail number is 460 and it is called “Custard Tart” named so by the Grandchildren because of the yellow hull. It sails in and around Swanage Bay and is berthed at the Swanage Sailing Club and is a work-horse making trips to sea summer and winter.
I have modified the rigging and got rid of anything that is complicated and the bottom panel of the mainsail, so the boom sits up rather high. This has not affected the trim of the boat, or reduced its top speed and it will plane when the wind is top of a F3 or bottom of a F4. Always crewed by two people. The modification is for my benefit, being 75 and having steel plates holding my spine together, the result of an injury, can’t bend down very easily, so the high boom suits my needs. The self bailers are not very efficient so I have fitted a hand operated bilge pump to deal with any water slopping around in the bottom of the hull.
Never used for racing only, as we say in the club, for social sailing. Thinking this winter during maintenance of fixing to cup holders to prevent spillage of the mugs holding the wine.

Lexington, KY - When the mayors of Lexington and Louisville announced plans to join their cities in a concerted regional effort to transform the Bluegrass into a hub for advanced manufacturing, the people of Lexington-based Kinemetrix already knew how this story could play out.
Founded 16 years ago when Jim Peyton left Toyota to form his own company, Kinemetrix builds processes and assembly lines for the exact type of facilities Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and Louisville' Mayor Greg Fischer hope to attract to the area. Upon hearing of the "super region" plan known as the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement (BEAM), Peyton and his Business Development Manager Chris Gullo knew there were more facets to the concept than many may have realized.
When a manufacturer like Hitachi, having outgrown its Harrodsburg, Ky. factory, decides to expand by opening a second operation in Berea, Ky., the news is often about the jobs that would be created within the walls of the new facility. But Gullo sees more: a supply chain ripple effect as the equipment those new employees will require for production doesnʼt just magically appear in a factory.
Assembly lines and processes often are imported to Kentucky from places like Michigan or Ohio, where manufacturing still maintains a strong presence, but many times - all too often, in Gullo's view - contracts for high-tech production systems go overseas to Japan.
"If they're going to locate (locally) and from an economic development point of view, if we can avoid giving a company a tax break to have them simply ship their investment dollars to Ohio, Michigan or Japan for equipment build, our Kentucky workers are going to get two, three, four bites at this apple of economic development," he said.
"The first tier (the regional approach) is to get the factory in, get the manufacturing jobs into Kentucky and let that factory start producing. But there are equipment builders, there are machine shops, there are technicians; there is all this other infrastructure there that if we can join together with the overall economic development effort I think we can leverage that Kentucky tax dollar into more than just the manufacturing jobs," Gullo noted.
That's a layer of the onion that was immediately evident to Gray. At the invitation of Kinemetrix and Business Lexington, he visited one of the two local Kinemetrix facilities to see a system that had been specially created for a Michigan auto supplier's facility.
"When we think today about Toyota 25 years after landing here, we tend to think of the plant out there (in Scott County) and jobs out there," Gray said. "We are often unaware of the lessons we have learned while we are learning them, and what Toyota teaches is a way of thinking, a way of creating."
What Gray saw when Peyton and Gullo fired up a sight-guided line that can seamlessly create multiple parts for the client's facility in Michigan was an outgrowth of Toyota's decision to build its first North American plant in Georgetown in the 1980s. Not only had Kinemetrix's founder worked at Toyota and decided to himself create jobs in the region, but he brought along with him the ideals and thinking processes from the renown Japanese auto maker.
"He's a Toyota alum; heʼs a Toyota disciple. He's been fully embedded with the Toyota DNA, which is continuous improvement. That commitment to total quality is what advanced manufacturing is all about: that commitment to studying an industrial process and determining what and how we can build on what we know today," Gray said.
"Companies like that are flying under the radar. They're doing this work, and I suspect they are doing it without a real support system and encouragement - flying solo," he said.
In a lot of ways, Gullo said, Gray is right.
"I'm not sure it was really on their radar map at all," he said, referring to officials of the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development. "There's a lot of thought that goes into the contractors that pour concrete and make steel buildings and stand those steel buildings up and electricians that wire the building and all of those things. There appears to be a database with the economic development cabinet (that it could) give companies that are locating.
"But in our meeting with those folks recently we realized there isn't even a category right now for our type of company and we would love for there to be so that we can get the word out that we exist," Gullo said. "If we can get in the conversation early and make them aware that world-class equipment manufacturing and advanced manufacturing technology exist here in Kentucky, then we think that they will be more than pleased to work with us and give that Kentucky worker a couple more bites of that apple."
But in order to be ready to go for that bite, Kinemetrix must grow, and it has run into two obstacles as it has attempted to expand.
The first is space; the group has outgrown its headquarters on Trade Street and is leasing warehouse space off Jefferson near downtown for a recently completed project that was too large to handle at their headquarters. Peyton said he wants to keep the company in Lexington, but months of searching has not shown a suitable space. Peyton said he is worried the economics of building his own facility will move him across county lines.
The second concern: Who is going to work for the company? Advanced manufacturing requires a special innovative and engineering mind. Education is an essential in this world.
"Our world sits in that space between academia and the practical factory sort of a world. And a person working in our business needs to have a strong theoretical background that comes from a university education typically ... but at the same time needs to be that backyard mechanic kind of a guy who is comfortable with a wrench in his hand ... because it takes that breadth of understanding," he said.
As might be expected, finding that right mix is no easy task, Gullo said.
"We have tried to grow our own at times. We have hired experienced people away from other competitors ... Once a person achieves both (theoretical knowledge and experience), they become highly sought after and thereʼs a tendency for competitors to rob people from each other in order to get the folks that they need," he said.
Simply shifting talent from one company to another doesn't really help to further our efforts to grow American manufacturing, Gullo said. That can only come from a concerted effort to expand the labor market by producing more college graduates with the required skills.
Gray said he recognizes that finding solutions to issues like these are what will make BEAM a success.
"It's the way of thinking that can lead to a culture that can encourage advanced manufacturing, that can encourage that next level of technology and the production process," Gray said.
How does academia respond to this challenge? Read Tom Martin's interview with Merl Hackbart, interim dean at the University of Kentucky's Gatton College of Business and Economics, in this issue.

Gerard Vermeer “Gjet – Joe” passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on December 27, 2011 in Chilliwack, at age 91 years. He was born to Johannes and Mensina Vermeer on September 9, 1920 in Opheusden, The Netherlands; the 9th of 12 children. He met his life-long sweetheart, Johanna Den Uyl, at the end of WW2 in The Netherlands when he was with the Military Police of the Dutch Army. Gerard and Johanna married March 5, 1947 and enjoyed 58 years together. The first 4 of their 5 children were born in Opheusden. They immigrated to Canada in the spring of 1955 and settled in Chilliwack BC. Their fifth child was born here. Dad worked in a variety of vocations, ending as custodian at Timothy Christian School. He attended Bethel Reformed Church. He loved to garden, play checkers and visit with family and friends (Dad and Mom had lots of friends). He was well known for his friendliness and great sense of humour. Dad had a steadfast simple faith in Jesus Christ that he lived out with kindness, gentleness and life-long commitment to his wife, kids and many friends.
Dad will be sadly missed by his 3 daughters and 1 son and their spouses: Marretje (Bernard) Saunders of Okotoks AB & St John’s NF, Sheila (Sim) Koopmans of Red Deer AB, Jane (Harold) Shannon of Vernon BC, and John (Anita) Vermeer of Chilliwack BC, and by his much-loved 12 grandchildren and 23 precious great grandchildren living across Canada from Armstrong, Chilliwack and Vancouver BC, Edmonton, Innisfail, Okotoks and Red Deer AB, all the way to St John’s NF. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Johanna, in 2005, and by his oldest son, Ron, in 1987.
A special thank you is extended to Sandrina Kooyman for her kindness and care while Dad lived at Sunset Manor, as well as to all the staff at Heritage Village for their wonderful care of Dad the last few years.
A viewing will be held from 7-9 pm Thursday, January 5 at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack. All are invited to attend the funeral at 1:30 pm Friday, January 6 at Cornerstone Christian Reformed Church, 9800 McNaught Rd, Chilliwack; Pastor Shawn Vandop officiating.

A couple of weeks ago. The FBI shut down a cyberspace black market site with the really cool name of Silk Road. Think of it as the Amazon.com for illegal products, from crack cocaine to hacker tools (tailored viruses and Trojan spyware), to counterfeit money ($100 US counterfeit bills for $25 US each) to falsified documents (passports = $2000, US Citizenship papers = $10,000). The Silk Road was considered to be the largest most profitable of the numerous black market sites that exist in cyberspace, raking in upwards of $1.2 billion. Rather than using cash or credit cards, however, all transactions were conducted using bitcoins, an artificial cyber currency which has real value that is traded on public markets.
Silk Road was the creation of Ross William Ulbricht, a 29 year old American former physics and engineering student who publicly espoused free-market, libertarian economic ideals who railed against the government. (Side note: This guy eerily fits a profile that also include Julian Assange and Eric Snowden, which makes me wonder if we are getting a peek into a generational shift in thinking about markets and government that could have some really scary consequences!) The intriguing thing about Silk Road is that it existed in a part of the Internet known as the Dark Web, that is, a part of the Internet that is hidden from most people and that you can only access using sophisticated tools that reveal its precense only to those in the know.
The primary way of gaining access to the Dark Web – and to sits like Silk Road – is to use software that uses TOR (The Onion Router (really!)), a very secure, encrypted series of cyber-tunnels that rides over the traditional Internet backbone unbeknownst to the public at large. It would be like living in a suburban neighborhood with thousands of houses and, hiding amongst the sedate, cookie-cutter homes, there are dozens of meth labs operating but only the operators of those labs know they exist.
TOR and similar schemes that bypass the traditional way of doing business on the internet represents a challenge to law enforcement but the fact they took down Silk Road and got Mr. Ulbricht into custody tells you that they are starting to pay attention.

You won’t have to shield your PIN-entering hand from prying eyes for much longer.
Our fingerprints are quickly replacing PINs and passwords as our primary means of unlocking our phones, doors and safes. They're convenient, unique, and ultimately more secure than easily guessed or forged passwords and signatures. So it makes sense that fingerprint sensors are coming to protect our credit and debit cards. Mastercard is testing out new fingerprint sensor-enabled payment cards that, combined with the onboard chips, offer a new, convenient way to authorize your in-person transactions. Instead of signing a paper receipt or entering your PIN while struggling to cover up the number pad, you simply place your thumb on your card to prove your identity.
The new cards are currently being tested in South Africa, and Mastercard hopes to roll them out to the rest of the world by the end of 2017. Even if that happens, though, you'll still have to wait for your bank or financial institution to get on board.
Once the technology is ready for the public, here's how it should work. Your bank will inform you that the biometric card is available, and if you're interested, you'll have to go to an enrollment center (most likely a bank) to get your fingers scanned. An encrypted digital template of your fingerprint is stored on the card's EMV chip. You can save up to two prints, but they would both have to be yours -- you can't authorize someone else to use your card with their fingers. After your templates are saved, your card is ready to be used at compatible terminals worldwide; merchants don't have to get new equipment to accept your fingerprint-enabled plastic.
The card itself is no thicker than a regular credit card. The fingerprint sensor is a small, thumbnail-sized rectangle that sits at the top right corner, and is easily accessible when you stick the card into a payment terminal.
During a recent demo, I tried to use a Mastercard rep's biometric card with my finger, and received a "Transaction denied" message from the test payment terminal. When the rep carried out the faux-purchase, the payment went through, and the machine began printing a receipt. What really surprised me was the speed at which it happened.
When the terminal asks you to insert the card, it's communicating to the bank information like your identity and the amount of the transaction. Then, it verifies your identity by asking for your fingerprint. The sensor reads your finger, and sends the information to the card's chip, which determines if you're the owner. If you are, it sends a "Yes" or "Authorized" message to the bank, which then allows the payment to pass.
During my demo, the authorization process happened almost instantly, which is reasonable given it's all happening on the card instead of going through the bank. When it was me using the card, however, it took a slight pause to register that I wasn't certified. I didn't have trouble learning the new process at all, either; it feels intuitive to simply leave your finger on the card as you slide it into a payment dock.
Of course, this method is only compatible with chip-and-pin cards, so it won't work with stores that only accept the older magnetic stripe models. But embedded chip technology has become increasingly popular in the US, thanks largely to regulations making financial institutions and merchants liable for breaches resulting from a lack of support for chip-and-pin cards. Getting a new biometric card is troublesome, since it would require a trip to the bank and a potentially long wait. But the convenience and the joy you'll get from waving that fancy new plastic in your friends' faces may make that agony worthwhile.

A luxurious Shea Butter for daily intensive moisturizing. As this body butter is in its purest form, the original nutrient content and healing properties are all kept in tact - this is especially necessary if you are using Shea Butter to treat a skin condition.
Has a strong unpleasant smell. This is my first time buying pure shea butter (i.e. not whipped with other ingredients) so I'm not sure if it's supposed to smell this way. Used it a few times on my skin and it's really moisturisisng.
Smells horrendous but that's ok because I simply melt it and whipped it up with my other ingredients to make homemade body butter - which keeps my skin glowing !
The value for the amount given is great, and the texture is spot on, however, I find this product has an odd, musty smell compared to other shea butters I've used. There is no expiry stamp on the product.
This is a really great all round moisturiser. Also a lovely base for mixing your own lotions. It really has helped keep my skin smooth and supple! It's a keeper.
Nice, rich, soothing and moisturising butter and the smell can be reduced by adding an essential oil. Love that it's organic!
I expected a lot more from this product. It has a sour 'off' smell. And it does not spread onto my skin easily.
This is such a rich moisturiser, it will last you very long. It has the same thickness as non-organic moisturisers without the harmful chemicals.
Great product, perfect for dry damaged heels. Only negative is the smell. I added lemongrass essential oil and now it’s perfect!
Moisturizes very nicely after a shower. Keeps my skin looking smooth and has really helped my 'aging' arms.
I suffer from dry skin and psoriasis. i have only been using this product for a week and I've already seen a noticeable difference in my skins moisture and smoothness. Since I've started using this product I've seen a major reduction in my skins flakyness.
Awesome product! Works basically immediately for itchyness. Safe for pregnancy...Very good all-round product. Highly recommended. Best body product to use for stretch-marks during pregnancy.
Feels good after melting and spreads nicely. dont like the smell though so m waiting for the Mbiri Myrrh oil to mix with and enjoy. Cant wait to put it to full use.
This is a really good, pure shea butter. It spreads nicely if you warm it between your hands before applying.
I've purchased it to make my own body lotion. Works perfectly.
Absolutely love this product!! Very soft and smooth unlike other pure shea butter products. One of my natural hair products gave me skin irritation on my neck and this Shea butter took care of that problem completely . I even use it on my face!! Love it!!
Works wonders as a lip balm.
I love this , only my first day using and put some on my skin especially on my areas where I struggle with eczema and nice and soft, excited to see the results in the end! Only downside about this product is that I really struggle with the smell, not pleasent.
Excited to use this product to make my own lotions..!
I love this product I used it on the dry areas on my skin and it has made a difference I'll never live without it.
I thought I would buy this to give it a try -- impressed and will use forever and ever!
Our whole familys new go to moisturiser!
Love love love! Soft, not smelly and easily absorbed. I can see a huge difference in my skin since using this.

If you're a girly girl like me, then you must squeal like a one when you hear the word "tutu". There's something so magical and whimsy about a tutu skirt. It brings me back to my childhood days when all I wanted to be was a princess. I've been searching for the perfect tutu for a while and saw a few out there in the blogisphere but nothing that caught my eye. Until I saw the one that the fabulous Kim from the blog The Natural Fashionista was wearing. I knew right when I saw it that that was the one I wanted!
This gorgeous skirt came from an awesome company called eShakti. eShakti is a company that offers clothing from sizes 0-36 (which is awesome for us bigger gals!), and they even offer customization; you can change different elements about the clothing, or send in your measurements for a truly custom fit. I literally want everything on the site! I ordered a shirt dress from them as well and it fits perfectly (blog post to come soon). The tutu skirt is from their bridesmaids collection, and it's called the Trinity Crinoline. The material is so light and airy, and of course like many of their skirts and dresses, it has pockets!! I kept the look simple by wearing a black camisole and one of my fav blazers from Forever 21.
It was such a beautiful day Saturday, I dragged my niece April (the photographer) and decided to go to the Brooklyn Bridge to take pics. I'd never been before and now I can scratch it off my bucket list. As expected the bridge was crowded with tourist, as well as regular New Yorkers and cyclist. But we made the best of it. The view was breath taking and beautiful, I wanted to spend all day there!

I am currently making a prototype with C030-N211 board and trying to connect it to Pelion cloud. I see that there is an example at https://os.mbed.com/teams/ublox/code/mbed-cloud-example-c030/, but it is for the u201. Do you have the same example but for N211?

From left, Garry Kasparov, 2016 Sinquefield Cup winner Wesley So, and Jeanne and Rex Sinquefield.
Rex Sinquefield is 72 years old and very much interested in chess. He retired from Dimensional Fund Advisors, the investment firm he cofounded, in 2005. Some call him a billionaire and some just a multimillionaire, but the only person who knows for sure isn’t talking. In any case, he certainly has put a lot of time, effort, and money into chess. It’s not just the money but underlying philosophy that is the most important feature of the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. My visit there made it very clear that he and his staff make every effort to respect chess and those who play it.
The club (www.SaintLouisChessClub.org) is a two-story building on a quiet, tree-lined street. The professionally designed interior is bright and clean. When you walk in, you are greeted by friendly staff. The basement houses a state-of-the-art media studio that is used for the Internet broadcasts of major events. The second floor is the playing room with wooden tables, boards, and pieces. Next door is the Kingside Diner, the club’s own breakfast and lunch restaurant that offers surprisingly good food at very reasonable prices.
In my conversation with Sinquefield, we covered many areas. He mentioned a phone call from Garry Kasparov that got him involved with both Anatoly Karpov and Kasparov’s failed FIDE presidential campaigns and his chance meeting with Missouri chess people that sparked his nascent interest in chess. We also talked about possible expansion of the Grand Chess Tour to six events and his ongoing, chess battle with 6 year old Rachael Li of Texas.
He shows great concern about even smallest detail at the club, even making sure that the pieces are clean. He’s even is thinking of having expensive DGT boards throughout the club to make sure that players would always have scores of their games.
There is nagging question of sustainability, but for now, there has never been such a place for chess in America.
The weekly problem is not running today.

Just in time for your Labor Day festivities, Target will begin selling a new line of super inexpensive wine.
The announcement comes as the budget-friendly chain debuts all sorts of new brands, mainly in the home and style aisles. But now your wine fridge can get in on the action, too. The new line, which features five wine blends carefully crafted with premium California-grown grapes, is called California Roots — and it only costs $5 a bottle.
According to a press release, you’ll be able to buy the vino during your routine Target run beginning September 3. It’ll be available nationwide at over 1,100 stores.
This new line will definitely give some competition to Trader Joe’s famous Two-Buck Chuck, the shockingly good, yet inexpensive wine we’ve bought on many occasions for those casual nights in.
Target lists the wine, beer and adult beverage market as one of its fastest-growing categories. And at only $5 bottle, we can only imagine the fan club California Roots will form.

Married to a narcissist: When your therapist believes them and not you.
When your therapist believes your husband, a narcissist, and not you.
I am writing this filled with so much anger, after speaking with too many beautiful clients over the past months, who shared their personal and very similar story.
Please trust that you are NOT CRAZY. It’s simply your therapist has believed the narcissist and not you. Narcissists are experts in making us feel we truly are not seeing things clearly, due to their manipulative behaviour, and persuading as many people within our lives to believe their array of lies.
The narcissists remain calm and collected, while telling us repeatedly ‘You are crazy, just look at yourself.’ When I reflect on my divorce, I can see my behaviour was at times completely out of character, due to the irrational and cruel behaviour of my husband at the time.
You know the feeling when you reach the lowest point in your relationship with a narcissist, and you begin to truly question if you are losing your mind, as you feel you are descending into madness? This was how I felt, while fulfilling my demanding corporate job in the financial markets, yet at night I couldn’t see any relief ahead from the craziness my husband, the narcissist, had created. You reach a point when you know you must seek the guidance of a professional, to understand what is going on, and reach out to a therapist for help. Sadly, help can be the last thing you receive.
"You know the feeling when you reach the lowest point in your relationship with a narcissist, and you begin to truly question if you are losing your mind, as you feel you are descending into madness?" Image via Getty.
Your therapist begins to question if YOU are a narcissist.
During couple’s therapy, the therapist believes the Narcissist’s side of the story, and sides with the narcissist. This creates a bigger problem, as you now have two people against you, instead of one.
Your therapist has completely overlooked the fact that your partner is a Narcissist, yet their behaviour is absolutely ‘text-book Narcissist.’ Image via Getty.
I feel the area of mental health has and is shrouded with shame and secrecy, which allows bad service to perpetuate. If you visited a GP and didn’t receive help and a diagnosis, you would not return to that particular doctor. However, the area of mental health is associated with so much stigma that many of us by the time we arrive at getting help, look to the person to help us as an ‘Expert’ which they should be.
But just like another specialist such as a surgeon, or an oncologist, if you were visiting one of these doctors for a diagnosis and a treatment plan, if you weren’t happy with their service, or their diagnosis, many would definitely seek out a new specialist.

About the major newspaper scoop of the plot by the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Dateline: Washington, D.C., May 3, 1967; Jan. 18-19 and Feb. 23, 1971.
By-line: Jack Anderson. Working out of a red stone and brick Victorian mansion on 16th Street, six blocks north of the White House, Jack Anderson writes a daily column which appears in 1,000 newspapers read by over 60 million people. In 1947, 24 years old and just out of the army, he came to Washington to work for columnist Drew Pearson. When Pearson died in 1969, he left the column to Anderson.
The Big Beat: As in other big stories, Anderson's two decades of legwork for Pearson, during which he developed countless contacts in the government bureaucracy, paid off in breaking the CIA assassination scandal. "We learned the details from sources whose credentials are beyond question," he wrote in 1971.
These were the details: The assassination of Fidel Castro was planned to kick off the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, a disorganized attempt of the CIA and Cuban expatriates to retake Cuba. The CIA contacted Robert Maheu, a former FBI agent who had worked for the CIA before and now ran Howard Hughes's Nevada operations. Maheu contacted John Roselli, a Mafia chieftain with friends in Cuba, and Roselli and two CIA operatives carrying poison pellets went to Miami. Roselli was so flattered to be asked to perform a secret mission for the government that he paid his expenses out of his own pocket.
In Miami, on Mar. 13, 1961, the pellets were given to a Roselli contact, a relative of one of Castro's chefs. A couple of weeks later Castro was reported ill, but he recovered before the Bay of Pigs fiasco on Apr. 17.
Undaunted, the CIA tried five more times over the next two years to get Castro through their Mafia connection; once more with poison, this time triple strength, and four times with high-powered rifles. Roselli ferried the assassins to Cuba in powerboats.
George Smathers, a senator and close friend of President Kennedy during his administration, told Anderson that Kennedy had complained to him of being unable to control the CIA. Said Smathers: "I remember him saying that the CIA frequently did things he didn't know about, and he was unhappy about it. He complained that the CIA was almost autonomous."
John McCone, the head of the CIA in the early sixties, told Anderson that the subject of assassinating Castro had occasionally been raised, but was never taken seriously. He denied that the CIA ever tried to assassinate foreign leaders.

Coldwell Banker has launched a new film festival centered on the idea of “home” and what it means to people. The real estate giant plans to solicit short films from around the world and is offering a $25,000 grand prize to the top rated video. So far, the competition has already received entries from India, China, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico, in addition to the United States. The festival will run online via ColdwellBanker.com from Monday, Sept. 9 through Sept. 27.
The real estate franchise, founded in 1906 has around 3100 offices throughout the United States and the world. Coldwell has touched on this theme before with their “Value of a Home” campaign in the U.S., but this newest push aims to bring the theme to a global audience. With Americans still struggling to lift themselves out from the rubble of the housing crisis, Coldwell Banker hopes that their festival can remind homeowners that the value of a home extends far beyond equity lines and mortgage payments.
Senior VP Sean Blankenship remarked in a press release that “too often home ownership is viewed through the grown up lens focused largely on the financial and investment aspects of our homes. We thought it would be fun and heartwarming to go beyond that, look past housing headlines and gain a unique perspective of what home really means.” One thing’s for certain: whoever wins top prize won’t have to fret about their mortgage payments for quite some time.
Pretty cool to see a brand campaign that understands that people (not “end users”) are at the core of online engagement.
Great post here and information! What a great company too! Cheers man.

Investigators have reportedly contacted Bank of America Corp. and Deutsche Bank AG regarding transactions involving a Danske Bank branch in Estonia at the heart of a money laundering investigation. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has also reportedly been asked questions by investigators from the Justice Department, Bloomberg reported Friday (November 16).
The outlet, however, reported that there aren’t indications that banks are targets in the probe, which is still in its beginning phases. At the same time, it noted that the banks were mentioned in an internal probe from Danske Bank as well as regulatory reports — although their names were not disclosed.
The lenders reportedly served as correspondent banks to the Tallinn, Estonia location of Danske Bank, which is Denmark’s largest bank. While JP Morgan halted those services to the bank in 2013, Bloomberg reported that Bank of America and Deutsche Bank provided them for two further years. The branch, however, worked apart from other locations as it kept its own correspondent banks opposed to ones that its corporate parent instituted.
Kohn said at the time, “The problem is far bigger than has been reported … If this is properly investigated, and the money followed all the way to the end — it all went to large, multinational Western financial institutions, and either the U.S. government or other authorities have the ability to track down every transfer and any account.” Reuters, however, made note that Kohn did not provide supporting evidence for the allegation.

When reviewing ghost pictures, we often receive images that have been taken through glass such as a window panes, door glass, etc. This can make it more difficult to see if there is actually a ghostly apparition within the photo. Many times, people visit museums and take photos of exhibits encased in glass and are surprise to see “ghosts” appearing in the frame.
The most common type of non-ghost we see when shooting pictures through glass is usually a human form of someone who was in the room with the photographer – a mere reflection of either their body or shadow. Often, the photographer’s own reflection of a body part will be mistaken for an entity. It’s also important to know that smudges, dirt and fingerprints on glass will illuminate with light of the camera’s flash and look ethereal and see through. The issue with glass reflections, of course, is that the everything reflected is transparent – see through.
If at all possible, try not to take photographs through glass while ghost investigating. If you have to do so, then work to explain anomalies by first considering natural reflection effects. Try and account for everyone who was in the room (and especially where they were at when the photo was recorded), and do not be afraid to attempt to duplicate the effect to either validate or disprove it.
Hurry and sign up and join a SIGHT of OHIO ghost investigation class and learn about ghost communication! Author Louis Charles and Psychic Medium Laura Lyn will be sharing techniques as well as ghost photographs and audio recordings they made of ghost voices.
Sign up is now and the three hour class is only $19! There will multiple dates offered to attend so don’t wait!
Latest Ghost Hunting Equipment Updates!
The following is the latest updates about some of the items we currently have available at the Fringe Technology Ghost Hunting Store.
Inexpensive Ghost Hunting Cameras See in the Dark!
The above model is our latest available Infrared conversion of a 10.1 megapixel digital camera for ghost investigation. What’s cool is that with IR lighting, you can actually use the “flip screen” to either shoot video or photos of what’s happening behind you! Ever have a ghost follow you? Now you can monitor and possibly capture images of it!
Why a Ghost Hunting Camera?
All of our ghost hunting cameras have an expanded range, being able to see into the Near Infrared and are considered to be “Full Spectrum.” By our definition, this means the eye of the camera has a potential range of 330nm (UV) up to 1200nm (IR). The visible spectrum of human eyesight ranges from about 380nm – 750nm. So you can see how these cameras can have a better chance of capturing paranormal phenomena when compared to typical stock cameras (which are filtered to see only the visible spectrum). In addition, the cameras can see in darkness when you cannot (if Infrared lighting is used: IR flashlight, IR illuminator, or an incandescent blacklight bulb). This means the annoying flash unit can be disengaged, virtually eliminating false anomalies such as dust orbs, flash reflection, etc. We have available camera conversions that fit in everyone’s price range from 5.1 to 10.1 megapixel models!
Are People Capturing Ghosts with the IR-Converted Cameras?
We’ll allow you to decide that for yourself. Below are three examples of different anomalies captured with our cameras: A shadow ghost, an apparition, and an energy anomaly.
Shadow figure in human form is captured in a theater booth by Dayna Hodgson of the UK with a 5.1 mp model that was converted to see in the dark.
An apparition of a human face is seen when lightened. Ghost captured by Dayna Hodgson of the UK with an UV-Vis-IR converted 5.1 mp camera.
Dale Lute of SIGHT of Ohio captured this energy on the steps inside of Mansfield Reformatory using our 8.1 mp UV-Vis-IR conversion model.
Ghost boxes range in price dependent upon availability and conversion time.
We try and keep a couple ghost box sweeping radios in stock for people who wish to experiment with ghost communication. The devices sweep either the AM or FM bands, producing white noise and radio snippets. The mish mash of noise helps bring the voices of ghosts and spirits through audibly or on a recorder. It is truly a way to increase the frequency of EVP capture!
At left is a hard-to-find original “Radio Shack Hack” model we currently have available.
For more information, visit the Fringe Technology Ghost Hunting Store!
New 10.1 megapixel (Silver) Vivitar X018 iTwist FULL SPECTRUM ghost hunting camera conversion with lots of features, including a flip screen! Ever have a ghost follow you and wish you could watch behind you? Flip out the screen and watch while shooting video or taking pictures of what lies in back of you! As long as you have Infrared lighting, this camera will see in the darkness. This Infrared conversion camera for photographing ghosts is fantastic!
This “full spectrum” ghost hunting camera and other models are available at the Fringe Technology Store.
People who want to ghost investigate are often wondering what camera is best to purchase. Ghost investigators typically have a camera that they have been using for awhile but may be interested in using something adapted for night time investigation.
Infrared converted ghost hunting cameras can often be expensive, but now there is a new alternative.

Illustrating Landscape architecture within the RSA annual exhibition, we installed a network synchronised Brightsign system with 4 x Optoma EH415ST short throw projectors plus 1 x Optoma EH320UST ultrashort throw unit. These are all full HD specification units.
The short throw units projected onto the side walls, with the ultra-short throw model set to fill the end wall of the gallery, simply mounted on a low plinth close to the wall. The obvious inclusion of the large greenhouse in the centre of the space and lack of blackout was a limiting factor for the projection, but the projectors punched above their weight and delivered bright high definition images.
This was our first project with the newly released EH320UST and initial impressions were very favourable.
The fact that a 20′ wide full HD image was possible from 5′ in the first place was close to miraculous, and that the linearity, focus and brightness were equally impressive, particularly as this application was beyond the scope that this unit was designed for.
The Brightsign media players delivered full HD content reliably, and were synchronised in a standard master / slave setup, using simple cat5 connections.
We have been working with Artist Julie Brook since 2013 on Multi screen work “made, unmade”. This is a Multi screen work based on film of the Artists sculptural works shot in Lybia and Namibia.
Dependant on the architecture of the galleries, up to ten hd images approximately 5m across were arrayed all around, each with an accompanying audio chanel plus overal imersive audio.

Pretty easy to do, right? Yes! Here is my sample featuring the adorable image, Leaf Pile Play.
This is one happy little boy! I printed him onto my favorite card stock, which had some feathering and bleeding over issues this time! *sad face* I hope the formulation of the paper didn't change. I had to color two, because the feathering created a huge mess on my first piece. Anywho...after coloring with Copic markers, I die cut the image and dusted on some blue ink. I added a few shiny leaves from my stash and a little sentiment to convey his feelings over jumping in that pile of leaves!
I hope you take a moment to join our challenge this week. You could win FREE digital stamps of your choice. But remember, you must use a MelJen's Designs image to be included in the random drawing. Also...don't forget that the entire MelJen's Shop is on SALE this month! Stop by and see What's New.
Thanks for visiting me today...I appreciate it!
Oh man, what a bummer that you had to deal with the frustration of feathering. I know how annoying that is! Your final card, though is excellent, so you overcame that annoyance splendidly. Love the colors and the joy in his face. I also really like the pattern paper you chose to go under the image. Works wonderfully with the theme of the card. Great work!

Brown-banded roaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms and at least seven other kinds of human pathogens.
Measuring about 10 to 14mm long, brown-banded cockroaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms and at least seven other kinds of human pathogens.
If you've had a close encounter with pests and need some answers, just ask Abell. We’re on it.
Measuring about 10 to 14mm long, the brown-banded cockroach is a small species of cockroach that got its name from the two lighter bands they have across their dark brownish bodies.
Male brown-banded cockroaches have full wings that reach beyond the tip of their abdomens, while female roaches have underdeveloped wings that prohibit them from flying.
Brown-banded cockroaches tend to prefer warm and dry locations. It's also common to find them hiding in higher locations and away from water sources.
They can be found on the upper walls of cabinets, inside pantries, closets, dressers and other furniture.
They can also be found hiding behind picture frames and inside clocks, radios, light switch plates and door frames.
The brown-banded cockroach has three developmental stages: egg, nymph and adult.
During her adult life a female produces about 14 egg capsules, each containing an average of 13 eggs. The length of the egg stage varies from 37 to 103 days, depending on temperature.
Eggs are laid in capsules, which the female carries for about 30 hours before she fastens it in clusters inside furniture, undersides of tables, draperies, wall decorations, shelving and ceilings.
The nymphal stage ranges from eight to 31 weeks. A female adult has a life span of 13 to 45 weeks; each female produces about 600 descendants per year.
Are Brown-Banded Cockroaches hazardous to humans?
Cockroaches can spread diseases, contaminate food, cause allergies and cause asthma reactions. Brown-branded roaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms and at least seven other kinds of human pathogens. They pick up germs on their legs and bodies as they crawl through decaying matter or sewage and then transfer these germs to food or onto food surfaces.
What causes a Brown-Banded Cockroach infestation?
Cockroaches are attracted to food, water and shelter. They will eat anything and are particularly attracted to starchy foods.
How can I prevent a Brown-Banded Cockroach infestation?
Cockroaches most likely enter properties by boxes, groceries or used furniture. Careful inspection of produce or packages entering the home or building can help to prevent cockroaches from establishing themselves in your property.
How do I remove a Brown-Banded Cockroach infestation?
To prevent brown-banded cockroaches from infesting your property, practice good sanitation. Vacuum often, keep a spotless kitchen, and seal all gaps around pipes and crawl spaces. If there is evidence of a cockroach infestation, contact your Technician at Abell Pest Control to treat your infestation.

This past weekend, I was at Southern Connecticut State University’s First Writing Conference supporting the MFA program, which I am so privileged to be a part of in my pursuit to write narrative poetry regarding the birth process, families and the strength of women. I met several inspiring people but it was during our lunch break that I found my inspiration to write this post. I met a very nice man, Alex Pierpaoli, while I sat enjoying my delicious free deli sandwich. Seeing that this was a writing conference, our conversation began with, “What do you write?”- I was not expecting that a man who writes about the history of boxing and editorials on current fights would somehow inspire me to write and compare a fighter like Mike Tyson to a birthing woman, but he did.
He began to discuss the first time he saw Mike Tyson fight, a ferocious dynamic fighter. Why Alex admired Tyson was his openness to express how afraid he was whenever he had to walk into the ring. With that single line we found our common thread. A birth worker writing a collection of poems on birth and a sports writers sitting among a couple hundred other writers and we all had this common thread- fear. Fear is, let’s face it a more predominate human emotion than any other, but it is not how fear controls us that inspires us to write, it is how we face it, how we stand up to it and move forward.
He spoke about his own experience in the ring and how like many other great fighters, he had an outer body experience, an extreme focus that he couldn’t explain, muscle memory and mental clarity that was created by months of training, both physically and mentally. This is where I chimed in, as joyful and exciting it is to have a baby, it is terrifying. Women on a daily basis are being challenged by their desire to have a natural birth, by their partners, their care providers, their family and friends and it doesn’t stop their, they hear it from the check out girl, the mail man, the neighbor, the co-worker the list goes on and on, all telling their horror stories, begging them to get the epidural. But for some reason there is that little voice in her head saying “I can do it. My great grandma did, and so did her mom and so on and so on. So why can’t I” Just like Mike Tyson, we all have a fighter inside us, willing to face our fears and get into the ring. But Mike couldn’t have been a champion without the people in his corner, the managers, the trainers, the promoters helping him, encouraging him. Yes, Mike Tyson is a controversial subject but he was afraid like I was, like Alex, like every client I have ever had and their partners were scared too. Fear is constant. Overcoming it has to do with who you have in your corner, who supports you.
Preparing for birth is the most important thing you can do to empower yourself, it will determine whether your first day as a parent starts off confident, happy and empowered or anxious, disappointed and regretting that you didn’t take the time to trust in yourself. So take the child birth class with your partner. Fire your care provider if you don’t feel supported- sometimes your gyno that you have had since you were a 18 is not a good fit for your birth, and sometimes your amazing midwife is not a good fit as your gyno. (I switched for my birth and went back to my original gyno after my birth- and no one had any hard feelings it’s business people) Talk to your family and friends- veto any horror stories til after the baby is born. Hire a doula and not any doula one you click with, who listens and laughs with you and your partner, not at him (because he is scared too). Get the people in your corner together and make sure they will help you feel confident, empowered and willing to admit they are scared too but that they believe in you. By practicing breathing, birth positions in a class, listening to birthing affirmations, falling asleep with your partner while both of you are listening to the HypnoBirthing CDs will all create muscle memory and focused clarity to help you confidently become parents together.
Does your partner’s eyes get big every time the discussion is brought up about “the birth”?
Do you trust him to know what to do?
Is he a protective type or a calming type?
Does your partner believe that natural birth is a good idea or has a, it’s what she wants attitude, but I doubt it?
Are you planning your birth together?
Who is your care provider, do other mom’s recommend them?
When you go to your appointments, do you feel you can talk freely, or do you feel rushed?
Are you nervous to even discuss your ideal birth?
What is that little voice saying about my birth, and the people involved, listen to her she knows her stuff?
Most of all taking the time to prepare for your birth with people you trust in your corner will encourage you, eliminate fear and allow you to joyfully welcome your baby.

And the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger cannot lawfully be shed except on account of one of three matters; fornication after having been married or one who turned apostate after having daleel or one who murders a believing soul without right then he is executed for it, other than that then the blood of the Muslim is unlawful for the Muslim to shed forever until the Hour is established.
“I have been commanded to fight against the people until they say none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah. So, if they say it then they have rendered their blood and their property safeguarded from me except on account of a right of Islaam and their reckoning will be with Allaah, the Most High.
So, whoever announces his Islaam and utters the two testifications then we accept that from him and we count him as being a Muslim and we apply the rulings of the Muslims upon him even if in his heart there is hypocrisy (nifaaq), for that will be between him and Allaah. Allaah will bring Him to account and the Prophet sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam accepted Islaam of the hypocrites (munaafiqeen) and he applied the outward rulings upon them.
However, whoever commits one of those things that nullifies Islaam then in that case he is judged to be guilty of riddah (apostasy). So, either he will then repent or otherwise, he will be executed as a protection for the religion. This is the first matter that renders the blood of a Muslim lawful to be shed.
And the second matter from those things that renders the blood of a Muslim lawful to be shed is al-Qisaas (retaliatory killing); an-nafsu bin-nafs (a life for a life).
Al-Qisaas (retaliatory execution) results in the preservation of life even though the murderer is killed because a would-be murderer, if he knows that he’s going to be killed, he will withhold from killing. And the rest of the people, if they see the murderer being killed then they will stop themselves from killing. So therefore, blood will be safeguarded on account of that.
And those people who say that Qisaas (retaliatory killing) runs contrary to human rights then we say to them that the person who’s being transgressed against, “Is he not a human?” So, in taking retribution, there is protection for his right.
And the third of those whose blood it is lawful to shed is the thayyib (one who’s married or has been married) who commits zina (fornication). Ath-thayyib is the person who has had sexual relations with his wife in a correct marriage. So, if he then after that commits zinaa (fornication) then he is stoned to death with stones until he dies and his blood is rendered lawful on account of that.
There is to be no compulsion upon the religion.
And this use of evidence is an error because killing the apostate; it’s goal is not to force anyone to accept the religion. Rather, the goal from it is to protect the religion from being played around with by someone who has entered into it freely by choice and then he abandons it after having borne witness that the religion is true.
His saying, “And the blood of a Muslim person who bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah is not permissible,” the Muslim is the one who bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah. However, along with the two testifications, there must be action that he establishes the prayer and gives the Zakaah and fasts Ramadaan and performs the Hajj to the house for whoever is able to make his way to it; action is essential.
His saying, “And whatever is besides that then the blood of the Muslim is forbidden for the Muslim to shed forever until the Hour is established,” the blood of the Muslim is forbidden for the Muslim. There will not come a time when it is permissible for him to shed the blood of a Muslim ever for Allaah unless he transgresses against and attacks the people in their homes or he commits Highway robbery or revolts against the authority of the ruler or other than that then he is killed to repel his evil if his evil cannot be repelled except through killing him.
Reported by al-Bukhaariyy in his saheeh (67) and Muslim (1,679) from a hadeeth of Aboo Bakrah radiyAllaahu `anhu.
Reported by Muslim in his saheeh (2,564) from a hadeeth of Aboo Hurayrah radiyAllaahu `anhu.
Reported by al-Bukhaariyy in his saheeh (25) and Muslim (22) from a hadeeth of `Abdullaah ibn `Umar radiyAllaahu `anhuma.
Reported by al- Bukhaariyy (6,878) and Muslim (1,676) from a hadeeth of `Abdullah ibn Mas’ood radiyAllaahu `anhu.
“The People of Knowledge are united in consensus upon the obligation of killing the apostate and that is reported from Aboo Bakr and `Umar and `Uthmaan and `Aliyy and Mu`aadh and Aboo Moosaa and Ibn `Abbaas and Khaalid radiyAllaahu `anhum and others besides them and no one criticised that from them so it is Ijmaa` (consensus).

Researchers have uncovered 13 new genetic regions that are linked to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The illness is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
Smoking still is the most important risk factor for COPD, but the discovery expands the understanding of the role genetics plays.
The finding, by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, was published in the journal Nature Genetics. The investigators also found that the genetic risk of COPD overlaps with two other lung diseases, asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.
“We are excited about these findings because we have not only uncovered new genetic risk factors for COPD, but also shown overlap of COPD genetic risk with the risk to asthma and pulmonary fibrosis,” said lead author Brian Hobbs, MD, MMSc a physician-researcher in the Channing Division of Network Medicine and Pulmonary and Critical Care Division of BWH.
Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study of risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a large, multi-ancestry cohort (15,256 cases and 47,936 controls). This type of study allows investigators to look across a comprehensive set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is associated with disease. Top findings from this study were replicated in a second cohort. The authors also sought to understand more about their findings by examining overlap with other diseases and examining what was known about gene function in these regions. In addition to identifying 13 new genetic regions associated with COPD, they also discovered four genetic regions that were not previously associated with any lung function trait. Nine of the genetic regions have been identified as playing an important role in lung function. Two have previously shown an association with pulmonary fibrosis; however, the specific forms of these genetic variants that increase risk for COPD decrease risk for pulmonary fibrosis. All analyses accounted for the effects of age, gender, and cigarette smoking on disease risk.

Two high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belts are set to go head to head in a featured “super fight” this Sunday, December 3rd in New Brighton, MN. The Minnesota Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation announced that Internationally ranked Chris Dachel of Spartan Martial Arts and Minnesota School of Martial Arts’ Iron Man Marvin Blumer will meet in one of three marquee matches at this Sunday’s BJJ tournament. A full day of competition will take place on top of the super fights which includes kid, teen and adult divisions. The action kicks off at 10AM at the Irondale High School.
Dachel is a 10 year Brazilian Jiu Jitsu veteran that has successfully competed all over the country. In 2016, he stamped his name on the international map by placing second at the 2016 World Master Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championships.
Blumer is considered to be one of Minnesota’s top mixed martial artists and began focusing heavily on Jiu Jitsu over 9 years ago. Blumer holds wins over skilled brown belts Dan Moret and Derek Getzel among others in recent competition.
Minnesota Fight News caught up with Blumer and Dachel to learn more about the grapplers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu roots, what they expect this Sunday, and more.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Talk about your Jiu Jitsu background. How, when, and why did you get started?
BLUMER: I got started in Jujitsu in 2008. Out of necessity to improve my mixed martial arts game. As far as MMA went, I was a striker. So when I hit them they would try to take me down. As Royce Gracie said, “If your going to fight, but do not know how to fight on the ground, you probably shouldn’t be fighting”. Of course I needed to fight off my back if I kept getting taken down. I started training with my friends in a garage. Researching books and fights I had access to. That was a good start to learning Jiu Jitsu. But if I was going to excel in the sport, I needed to find somebody with better technique and knowledge of the sport.
DACHEL: I Started in ’07. It was just a bunch of friends training together and not knowing a thing about what we were doing. Just no gi, I hated the thought of the gi. That lasted 3 months and then we quit. Sat around until winter of ’08 when I got the itch again. I started at The Cellar and Tom Schmitz started teaching shortly after I started. I began training under him in the gi, fell in love with the gi and never looked back.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Jiu Jitsu has evolved and grown incredibly over the years. Talk about the differences that you see today as a sport and martial art compared to when you first began.
BLUMER: The biggest difference in Bjj now as when I first started is how many different platforms there are to showcase your skills. When I first started there were maybe two or three local tournaments a year unless you wanted to travel to a bigger city such as Chicago. When I first started in Jiu Jitsu, there were maybe a handful of BJJ black belts in MN. Now it has grown to a vast amount of black belts and styles and schools. It is nice to see there is not only a lot more platforms but also another avenue to earn some money as a competitor.
DACHEL: Jiu jitsu as a whole in the Midwest is pretty far behind the rest of the world in this sport. When I started there was only a handful of black belts in the area. Top students in my gym were blue belts or striped white belts. People weren’t traveling really at all for big international tournaments. That is really changing around here. It’s great to see! Minnesota is more heavily represented at the big tournaments now then when I started. In turn people around here are starting to see that it can be done and it’s really advancing the sport in the area.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Today, you are teaching others Jiu Jitsu. Specifically kids and teens. But I’d like to ask you to talk about the people that were a part of teaching you going back from when you began and now today.
BLUMER: My very first teachers in the beginning where Denny Anderson and Jamal Galehdari which both had a lot of high school wresting and some Bjj experience. We started the basics together and had an opportunity to train under Royce and Rodrigo Gracie through American Top team in Savage MN. We belted under them for our blue and purple belts. Through training under them I learned a lot of great techniques and grappling as well as self defense. Currently I teach and train at Minnesota School of Martial arts where we are a Cleber Luciano BJJ affiliate, where I have received my brown belt. It has been such a great honor to learn from some great BJJ practitioners, which has given me a very diverse BJJ style.
DACHEL: Well, the first few instructors I had almost put me behind. After I started to get the hang of things, I began to realize that I was doing everything wrong and had to fix old habits. Professor Schmitz helped put me on the right track. As well as a lot of my beginning training partners that I still train with today. We helped each other figure things out by trial and error.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Do you prefer gi or no gi, and why?
BLUMER: I like them both for different reasons. I don’t have a preference. I like no gi for the fast pace scrambles and the ability to attack the feet in multiple ways. I like gi to be able to slow the pace and really be able to put the pressure on my opponent and force them “or ask them nicely” for the submission!
DACHEL: Gi, no question. It’s the real way to learn jiu jitsu. Nothing at all against no gi. I really respect people with really good no gi games. The gi slows the game down and makes you really think about the moves and how to escape them using technique and not relying on strength and speed.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Can you give us some insight into the kids Jiu Jitsu programs that you instruct.
BLUMER: At MSMA our kids program is a combination of self discipline and mixed martial arts. We teach them self responsibility as well as stand up techniques and bjj techniques. Through our kids program I have noticed that BJJ really helps kids excel physically, mentally as well as socially.
DACHEL: The program we’ve put together is very technique based. Focusing on building a solid base of knowledge that these kids can build a foundation out of. But really before all of that, our goal is to help every student improve on themselves individually. Our students first few promotions are solely based on seeing them improve on what they need to improve on versus being promoted according to a skill set. For example, if a student starts out and is great at the techniques and is very athletic but has a hard time listening and paying attention. That student’s first few promotions will be based on their ability to advance their listening skills versus their ability in Jiu Jitsu itself. We’re teaching these kids more then just Jiu Jitsu. It’s very rewarding to see these kids grow up into great human beings.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Talk about some of the past Jiu Jitsu tournaments that you have competed in. Do you compete a regularly?
BLUMER: I am always competing whether it is in MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ or Judo. I like to at least get between 5-8 BJJ tournaments a year.
DACHEL: In my early days I did every local tournament I could. As I got higher in ranks it got harder to find opponents around my size. Even in the beginning it was hard to find people my own size. Around early purple belt I started traveling to bigger international tournaments. Pan Am Championship, IBJJF opens, World Masters. In 2016 I placed 2nd of 22-23 at World Masters brown belt in Las Vegas. This will be my first competition this year due to injuries and the birth of my daughter.
MN FIGHT NEWS: People are really excited for your featured super match on December 3rd. Style wise, this appears to be one of the more exciting Jiu Jitsu matches that could be made in Minnesota. What do you know about your opponent and what kind of match do you expect?
BLUMER: Other than my opponent training at Spartan Martial Arts, I don’t know that much about him. We have yet to meet each other at a tournament that I know of. From what I have heard about Chris, he has a very diverse BJJ game which should bring a lot of interesting transitions, positions and submissions. I think he is a lot like me and will try to push the pace and you know me, I will always be attacking.
DACHEL: I know that he’s very tough. I’ve seen him take and give out beatings in MMA. I know he owns a school now so he has to be training a lot. He’s got a few pounds on me so we’ll see how I deal with that. Other then that I don’t know much. I’m looking forward to the fight.
MN FIGHT NEWS: Any closing thoughts you want to share?
BLUMER: I would just like to say that it’s great to see BJJ continuously evolving into a better and bigger sport every year. I want to thank MNBJJF for asking me to participate at such a great event and I want to thank my teammates and my friends and most of all my family for supporting me. I think I’m one of the best grapplers in the Midwest if not in the world and cant wait to show that on December 3rd.
DACHEL: I just want to say thank you to Spartan Martial Arts for being my Jiu Jitsu home for the last 8 years. Thank you to Ryan (Pottebaum), Randy (Santiago), Akeela (Al-Hameed), and Travis (Perzynski) for the extra work in helping me prepare. Thank you to MNBJJF for the opportunity to showcase my Jiu Jitsu.
Dachel versus Blumer was the first of three super fights announced. All super fights will be gi competitions. The second featured match is between Jonathan Ranch and Hiago Adao in a 170 pound match. Ranch is a brown belt from World Jiu Jitsu Academy where he is also an instructor and a black belt in Karate.

I notice that as soon as rhyme pops into my poetry, the quality drops, or so it seems to me.
Gone, the effort to please.
The final sail out to sea?

Does the Legendary Ghost of Enos Kay Haunts Timmons Bridge?
John B. Kachuba, author of Ghosthunting Ohio, Ghosthunting Ohio On the Road Again, and Ghosthunting Illinois, shares with us the story of Enos Kay whose ghost is believe to haunt Timmons Bridge to this day.
Back in the nineteenth century a young man named Enos Kay lived along Egypt Pike in Ross County. Enos was an honest, hard-working young man who had become the envy of the county since he won the affections of Alvira, the local beauty.
It took several years of scrimping and saving for Enos to get together enough money for a wedding worthy of his beloved Alvira. But at last he had the money, and soon wedding arrangements were under way. The wedding clothes were being fashioned, and everything was going well for the young couple until the fateful day in 1869 when they decided to attend a church picnic.
A mysterious stranger, a man none of the churchgoers had ever seen, showed up at the church picnic that day. It was even unclear what the man called himself; some of the picnickers thought his name was Smith, while others thought it was Johnston, or maybe Brown. One thing they all agreed upon was that the man clearly had eyes for the beautiful Alvira. Throughout the day, the stranger did his best to woo the girl while meek and hapless Enos simply stood by and watched.
It wasn’t long before rumors began to circulate that Alvira had been seen walking hand in hand with the handsome stranger, rumors that Enos simply dismissed as idle chatter. How could the love of his life, the woman who had promised her love to him, be with another man? Impossible. But when Enos heard a few days later that the man had climbed through Alvira’s bedroom window at night and proposed to her, and that she had accepted and run off with the man, he was stunned.
Enos immediately ran to his fiancée’s house, where he discovered, much to his grief, that Alvira had, indeed, jilted him and was gone forever. Enos let out a heart-breaking cry and swore that he would forever haunt happy lovers until Judgment Day. Then, he walked out to Timmons Bridge, the local lovers’ lane, and hanged himself from the rafters.
Not long after Enos’s body was committed to the ground came the frightening stories of lovers being terrorized at the bridge by some unseen force. Couples reported an invisible force attacking their buggies, shaking them violently, and spooking the horses. Some couples said that the malevolent force ripped open the tops of the buggies, revealing the demonic face of Enos Kay peering down at them.
Encounters with the ghost of Enos Kay are reported to this day. Apparently, he will not bother lone motorists passing over the bridge, or a parked couple who are arguing instead of kissing. True to his oath, the ghost claws and scratches at the parked cars of those couples who are expressing their ardor. Some of these “couples interruptus” recall seeing the ghost’s devilish grin through the steamed car windows. The moral here might be, Get a room!

Chrysler continued its impressive sales momentum in Feb. with a 40 percent sales increase.
Carmakers are reaping the benefits of the strong U.S. market, where a 16 percent increase in sales in Feb. helped some companies post gains of more than 30 percent compared to the same month last year.
American consumers bought a total 1.15 million cars last month, more than expected by many and boosted by a warmer-than-expected winter which helped offset the current high gas price.
BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Mazda were among the companies selling over 30 percent more models than in February 2011, figures showed, with Volkswagen surging even further to reach 43 percent.
According to analysts though, the star of the show was Chrysler, up a whopping 40 percent with its 23rd monthly sales increase and its collapse in 2008 firmly behind it.
Chrysler brand Fiat, which has struggled with a lukewarm reception to its Fiat 500 city car, saw its best month since the US relaunch, up 63 percent on the back of an advertising blitz.
General Motors, the best selling automaker in the US, saw just a one percent rise in sales, far eclipsed by its closest competitors Ford (up 14 percent) and Toyota (up 12 percent).
Posting its biggest sales increase since March 2011, Ford noted that high fuel prices were edging consumers towards more environmentally-friendly models.
