Feel It EP
Catalog No: DIYNAMIC #DIYNAMIC061
Release Date: 26.11.2012
One of the most recent additions to the Diynamic family is the lively young talent, Karmon. Hailing from the Netherlands, Karmon released his first full EP on Hamburg´s Diynamic label and is now back stronger than ever with the `Can You Feel It EP´.
Evolving into a true Diynamic artist with skills and style that seamlessly merge with the Diynamic philosophy, this next EP by Karmon conveys a growth in the producer´s sophistication – an ability to make feel good funked up house with rich sonic textures and an accessible heart beat.
Opener is the dreamy `Take My Hand feat. Terry Shand´, a track that literally takes you by the hand to leads you through cold winter days. The capturing power of its warm melody and the supporting vocals by Terry Shand embrace all kinds of music tastes, fusing mid-tempo sultry funk with upbeat keys, moody stabs and romantic reverie. The `Dub´ again highlights Karmon´s smooth credentials.
On the flip-side, `When Dark Becomes Night´ oozes a late night atmosphere with the build made for getting the dancefloor warmed up. Its relaxed piano keys and the short but very intense break unite flawlessly with the melodic basslines. The result is a classic Diynamic tune that stay in your head, this is hard not to love.
The second B-side track `Feel It´ is an irresistibly punchy composition of freewheeling melodies and wonderfully arranged synths and basslines, giving its listeners the feeling of total clarity and inner consciousness on the dancefloor.

No Home Movie by Chantal Akerman (France, 2016, 115 min.). For the last several years of her life, Chantal Akerman filmed her surroundings with no real direction or narrative in mind. When she had amassed about 20 hours of footage she began to sculpt it into a two-hour feature. To Akerman's surprise, the work that emerged from this process was No Home Movie, a film about the artist's elderly mother who survived the Holocaust and now rarely left her Belgian apartment. No Home Movie offers an intimate portrait of the tender and complex relationships between Akerman, her sister, and their mother, certain to resonate with anyone who has provided care for an ailing loved one. In her statement about the film, Akerman writes: "The narrative advances step by tiny step, a little like how we enter this apartment in Brussels, where a woman walks with the fragile grace of someone who is trying to maintain her precarious balance." This poignant film would be Akerman's last.
Presented in partnership with the Boston Jewish Film Festival.

When Pete and I first started talking about going to Chicago, I knew that I wanted to run a race with my sister. I have a thing for running races around the places that we visit. When we finally decided on the second weekend in August, my sister let me know that the Chicago 10k (a race that boasts about having the largest medal in all of Chicago) was going on that weekend. I couldn't resist signing up.
On Saturday morning after breakfast, we headed over to the Fleet Feet store in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago to pick up our race packets. As far as race packets go, there were fairly simple with just our bibs, pins, and tech shirts. We paid an extra $5 to get gender-specific tech shirts. I really liked that they weren't loaded with flyers for a million upcoming races.
Sunday morning, the hotel room's alarm clock started going off at 6 am. It was the most annoying sound ever and I literally jumped out of bed to shut it off. I changed into my running outfit and spent some quality time in the bathroom in an effort to avoid the port-a-potties at the race. I also spent some time stretching. My legs were worn out from all the walking we had done around the city. A little after 7 am, I left Pete in our hotel room and walked over to the race location. I met my sister around 7:30 and we waited in the starting corrals for the start of the race.
Mile 1 – 12:04 min/mile pace
About 10 minutes after 8 am, I crossed the starting line and started running north along the sidewalk next to Lake Shore Drive. The race began with a 1 mile loop around the southern end of Grant Park. I actually was a little familiar with this part of the course because of my easy 2 mile run on Friday morning. We turned right at Balbo Drive and took a left at Columbus Drive. Before I knew it, I was back to the starting line and heading under the Lake Shore Drive overpass. During the first mile of race, I didn't see my sister at all. She started off a little bit ahead of me and I wasn't going to spend any extra energy trying to catch up with her. My plan for the race was to stick to my intervals (2:1) and have fun. On the other side of the overpass, I spotted the Field Museum followed by the Shedd Aquarium.
Mile 2 – 12:45 min/mile pace
Once we were under the overpass, the race course joined with the Lakefront Trail. The views of Lake Michigan were breathtaking! Just as I turned the corner past the Shedd Aquarium, I spotted the Mile 1 Marker. So far my run/walk intervals were working for me and I felt awesome! When I saw what time the race started, I was a little worried that it would really warm. Races in Florida usually start well before 8 am in an attempt to avoid the heat. I guess Chicago weather isn't as much of a concern. The course continued along the Lakefront Trail passing by Solider Field. As I reached the Mile 2 Marker, I spotted my sister ahead of me. She was looking pretty good but I worried that she may have started out too fast.
Mile 3 – 12:35 min/mile pace
About halfway through Mile 2 as I was running past the McCormick Place Bird Sanctuary, I caught up to my sister. I smiled, waved, and continued to focus on running my intervals. I figured that if I was meant to stay ahead of her than I would eventually pass her but I wasn't going to push myself more than my body was capable of. After all, I had done some extreme walking around Chicago for the 3 days leading up to the race (not exactly my normal race preparation). I was still feeling pretty good at this point and I wanted to ride that feeling for as long as possible. When I spotted the Mile 3 Marker, I started looking out for the turnaround location. I had seen plenty of runners heading in the opposite direction so I knew that it was coming up.
Mile 4 – 12:31 min/mile pace
Just before we reached Burnham Park (right around Mile 3.5), I hit the turnaround point of the course and started heading back towards the finish line. As I was approaching the turnaround, I passed my sister and didn't see her again until after the race. Since I was going back the way I came, I really wanted to pay attention to my surroundings. The views of the lake had stolen my attention and I wanted to know what else there was to see along the Lakefront Trail. Before I knew it, I was passing the Mile 4 Marker.
Mile 5 – 12:22 min/mile pace
When I passed the Mile 4 Marker, I started getting a little bit nervous that my body would start to fight the pace I was keeping. I hadn't run anything longer than 4 miles since the beginning of March when I ran my last half marathon. I focused on my breathing and just kept running my intervals. As I running along the Lakefront Trail, I noticed several trees that were craved instead of being planted. Somewhere along the way, I received a text message from Pete letting me know that he was waiting for me at the finish line. I let him know how I was doing and he sent some encouraging words. I am so lucky to be marrying that man! Shortly after I passed by the McCormick Place Bird Sanctuary, I passed the Mile 5 Marker and realized that I had just over a mile to go!
Mile 6 – 12:52 min/mile pace
As I continued running along the Lakefront Trail, I ran past Soldier Field and the Shedd Aquarium on my way back to the finish line. When I made the turn at the aquarium to head back by the Field Museum, the view of the city skyline was amazing. Living in a big city would definitely have the advantage of breathtaking views of the city skyline. As I got closer to the finish line, Pete sent me another text message warning me about a uphill grade right at the finish line. I decided to keep a little more than usual in my tank so that I could push it across the line. I spotted the Mile 6 Marker near the Field Museum. I crossed back under the Lake Shore Drive overpass and could see the finish line up ahead. I powered up that uphill grade and crossed the finish line.
When I checked my watch, I was thrilled with my finishing time! I made my way through the finisher's area where I received the ridiculously large medal that was promised, a water bottle, some snacks. Shortly after I crossed the finish line, my sister crossed and set a new PR for the 10k distance.
2014 Chicago 10k by the numbers
- Official Finish Time – 1:18:43
- Average Pace – 12:40 min/mile pace
- Overall Place – 1763 out of 2124

Abstract: KI3.00004 : Predictions of the Transport-limited Fusion Alpha Profile in ITER*
Preview Abstract Abstract
E.M. Bass
(University of California San Diego)
We present a simple 1D transport model prediction for the alpha density profile in an ITER burning plasma. Thermal species profiles, which provide the basis for the alpha birth and collisional slowing-down rates, come from a recent ITER H-mode prediction using the EPED model for the pedestal and a quasilinear microturbulent model in the core [1]. The model includes the fusion source, an effective sink into a population of helium ash, and diffusive transport due to both microturbulence and alpha-driven Alfv\'en eigenmodes (AEs). Where applicable, we assume the local distribution maintains the classical slowing-down form. The microturbulent (passive) contribution to alpha transport is given by combining the known absolute energy flux appropriate for a $Q=10$ scenario with the GYRO simulation-fitted model for the quasilinear transport ratio given in Ref.~[2]. A ``stiff" transport model gives the alpha-driven AE component. In this model, {\it local} AEs drive the alpha gradient to the {\it local} mode stability threshold determined by fully realistic GYRO simulations. Both the stiffness [3] and locality [4] of AE transport are supported by previous work. We compare the impact on the AE stability threshold of using Maxwellian versus slowing-down forms for the alpha distribution. In general, the AEs are found to re-distribute fusion alphas within the plasma core, but the Alfv\'en avalanche does not appear to propagate to the loss boundary. Microturbulence can drive modest alpha losses at the edge.\par \vskip3pt \noindent [1] J.E.\ Kinsey et al., Nucl.\ Fusion {\bf 51}, 083001 (2011)\par \noindent [2] C.~Angioni et al., Nucl.\ Fusion {\bf 49}, 055013 (2009)\par \noindent [3] E.M.\ Bass and R.E.\ Waltz, Phys.\ Plasmas {\bf 17}, 112319 (2010)\par \noindent [4] E.M.\ Bass and R.E.\ Waltz, Phys.\ Plasmas {\bf 20}, 012508 (2013)

Lyrics of Catherine zeta - jones, taye diggs - i can't do it alone
(velma (to roxie))
My sister and i had an act that couldn't flop
My sister and i were headed straight fo the top
My sister and i earned a thou a week at least
Oh, sure!
But my sistr is now, unfortunately, deceased
Oh, i know it's sad, of course
But a fact is still a fact
And now all that remains
Is the remains
Of a perfect double act!
Roxie, do you know you are exactly the same
Size as my sister? oh, you would fit in her wardrobe
Perfectly. look, why don't i just show you some of
The act, huh? watch this.
(velma dances)
Now you have to imagine
This with two people.
It's swell with two people.
First i'd...(drums!)
Then she'd...(saxophone!)
Then we'd...(together!)
But i can't do it alone!
Then she'd...
Then i'd...
Then we'...
But i can't do it alone!
She'd say,"what's your sister like? "
I'd say, "men,"
Yuk, yuk, yuk
She'd say, "you're the cat's meow"
Then we'd wow the crowd again
When she'd go...
I'd go...
We'd go...
And then those ding-dong daddies started to roar
Whistled, stomped and stamped on the floor
Yelling, sreaming, begging for more.
And we'd say, "o.k. fellas, keep your socks up.
You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
(velma dances)
But i simply cannot do it alone!
Well? what did ya' think? come on, you can say.
(roxie gives her a raspberry)
O.k., o.k. the first part can always be rewritten.
But the second part was really nifty. watch this.
Then she'd...(see, get it, right? )
Then i'd...(then i'd kick really high...)
Then we'd...
But i can't do it alone!
She'd say, "what state's chicago in? "
I'd say, "ill!"
Did ya' get that?
She'd say, "turn your motor off"
I can hear 'em cheerin' still
When she'd go...
I'd go...
We'd go...(sideways!)
And then those two-bit johnnies did it up brown
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down
And we'd say. "o.k. fellas, o.k.,
We're goin' home, but here's a few more partin' shots!"
And this... this we did in perfect unison.
(velma dances)
Now, you've seen me goin' through it
It may seem there's nothin' to it
But i simply cannot do it
(roxie turns her down)
Like the deserted bride on her wedding night
All alone and shaking with fright
With her brand new hubby nowhere in sight
I simply cannot do it alone...

Washington (Nov. 21, 2003) -- The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice and temporary regulations to prevent the use of trusts to accelerate deductions for liabilities that a taxpayer is contesting. The use of a trust to improperly accelerate deductions under Tax Code Section 461(f) is now a "listed transaction." A taxpayer using a trust for this purpose will have to disclose it to the IRS, and an advisor promoting its use will be required to keep a list of taxpayers.
"The notice and regulations are part of our continuing efforts to identify and shut down abusive tax avoidance transactions," stated Treasury Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Pam Olson. "Once again, we have put taxpayers on notice. A taxpayer that uses improperly a trust to accelerate a deduction for a contested liability will have to disclose that to the IRS."
Taxpayers have transferred their own stock or the stock or note of a related party to contested liability trusts to satisfy the requirements of Section 461(f). New temporary regulations provide that such a transfer does not satisfy the requirements of Section 461(f). In addition, the temporary regulations clarify that a taxpayer's transfer of money or other property to a trust, escrow account, or court to provide for the satisfaction of a contested workers compensation, tort, or other payment liability generally does not satisfy the economic performance requirement of the code. Rather, economic performance occurs when payment is made to the claimant.
Notice 2003-77 also denotes as listed transactions certain transfers to contested liability trusts, including transfers in which the transferor has retained control over the trust assets.

The search for a desirable Invicta watch may prove to be one of the most difficult things in the market. This is usually because of the fact that Invicta is one of the most visible watch manufacturers with diverse watches, with the capacity of confusing any would be user.
In addition to this, their use of the Swiss techno logy is not an exclusive even with many watch makers falling over heals trying to get a piece of the pie from this great watch making giant of the world. From time immemorial, the Swiss have stood out as one of the most renowned countries where quality watches were made.
The watches made using the Swiss technology would be highly priced in most instance making would be consumers to shy away from buying the watches. The Invicta however tipped the scales with its innovative look at the whole business mode.
As a result, they came up with affordable yet quality watches which would then take over the market like a storm, with good repercussions. However, they only borrow the Swiss technology; the original idea is still with the Swiss.
There are several watches in the market coming from the Invicta brand. Some of them may be hard to identify if you are a novice. Because of the diversity, the Invicta has also grown with the times and in most occasions; its watches are grouped as per where it is made from.
In this regard, making the right choice of the Invicta watches may prove to be hard. We have however seen the need to allow for the buyers to have choice by identifying some of the best watch collections within the Invicta family which you can put your hands on. Have a look;
- The venom chronographs– while this may just look like its other chronograph watches, the difference may come in its use. It is mostly used by divers due to its ability to withstand deep contacts with water. While the aesthetic look of the Invicta watch is in most cases made to be intact.
- Speedway chronograph designed watches– most of the chronograph watches are usually made for diverse purposes. Because of the touch of class and designs, they are usually worn by the business executives and fashion enthusiasts.
The chronograph watches are known for their good looking sub dials which are meant to show minutes, seconds and in some cases have the space for microseconds. The mere fact that they can break time in its smallest form has made them one of the most used watchers in the Olympic Games and other racing areas which require precision.
- The Invicta Russian diver watches – with it's out of the world designs, it suits any occasion and is used in athletics as well. In most cases, it is resistant from any form of scratch and so may be longer lasting. What makes it stand out is usually the silver casing and bezels, a sign of impeccable style and personality.
- The Invicta II collections – the watches in this category are known for their sleek designs and are basically made with the thought of that office executive. In that respect, this collection features the modern watch from Invicta. In addition, the watches still have the traditional Invicta features which allow it to be used in aquatic as well as terrestrial athletic events.
- The Invicta pro driver collection watches– these are your professional watches which apart from being widely used in athletic events are suited for your ordinary wear. Because of their designs, they may not be the most appropriate watches to wear while going out.
With all the rich watch collections, the Invicta has literally enabled its users to have a rich variety to choose from. This was the hardest. There are several watch types which fall within the diverse styles worth your time. The best way to differentiate is to visit the points of sale and get some useful, reviews from the previous users.

Waiho Console Table
Waiho explores the relationship between user and object by inviting interaction through touch.
Through hand-carved stack lamination and laminate bending, Scott has achieved sinuous and complex forms inspired by the fluid contours that result from erosive forces of wind and water on rock. To be experienced differently from every angle, Waiho is at once a unique table and a free standing sculpture; defying categorization, it exists in the grey space between art and design.

Thank You To Our Supporters
Please Provide Your Tax-Deductible Support!
Destination Imagination in Washington relies on donations for a significant portion of the annual budget. Registration Fees do not cover all of the expenses. Donations cover about 40% of the WA-DI budget. With one part-time staff member and over 750 volunteers for tournament operations alone, we keep expenses very low but as we grow - adding 50+ teams a year - so do facility fees and related tournament expenses. We highlight our need for donations three times each year.
2016 Fundraising Dates
February 21 through April 6th
The biggest campaign for fundraising occurs from the week before the first regional tournament until one week after the state tournament. Often supported with a matching gift opportunity, the challenge strives to broaden the support for WA-DI across the state and cover the shortfall between registration fees and recurring annual operating and tournament expenses. WIN/WA-DI is very lean - less than 1/10 of 1 percent is used on fundraising. Almost every dollar goes to the tournaments. WA DI uses hundreds of volunteers at each tournament - the expenses are facilities rental, award medals and trophies, lunch for the volunteers, and printing tournament programs. Gifts for this campaign directly benefit the teams and their tournaments.
GiveBig - May 3rd CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO GiveBIG !
A one-day, statewide giving event sponsored by the Seattle Foundation with a stretch pool offered to increase the amount each organization receives. This one day event designated to raise funds for infrequent expenses such as tournament timers, clipboards, banners where donors will see their gifts in specific ways at the next tournaments.
Giving Tuesday - December 5th
A one-day, nationwide day of giving the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and WA-DI's last campaign each calendar year for fundraising. This day may be matched with a challenge fund and is a final effort to meet the shortfall common with many non-profit organizations - program fees do not cover all of the expenses and outside donors are needed to preclude having to raise the registration fees to cover those expenses or to further fund purchases of equipment or technologies to enhance the operations or program delivery. These gifts are frequently used for annual technology licenses for various applications such as registration, website, and email service providers that improve communications to the team managers and benefit the tournaments but in a less direct way than awards and school rental fees.

2015 Designated Gift Funds
General Donations provide the most flexibility for the Board but people have asked for a way to support a specific segment of the DI program in Washington. It is now possible to designate a portion or all of your donation to these Designated Gift Funds:
Team Registration Fund - This fund provides complementary or reduced registration fees for teams from disadvantaged areas or whom would otherwise not be able to participate in Regional or State tournaments. Donors may not designate a specific team or region. Discretion rests with the Board of Directors.
Scholarship Fund - WIN/WA-DI provides scholarships for continuing education to DI team members, team managers, and volunteers. Often given to graduating seniors, the board would like to expand the number and amount of the scholarships and broaden the types of recipients. Determination of scholarship recipient(s) is the responsibility of the Scholarship Committee which reports to the Board of Directors.
Regional Tournament Fund - Some people just love their local tournament and want to provide support so it is the best that it can be. Donations made be designated to a specific region, the state tournament, or any tournament. The funds will be used for awards and trophies, pay for facilities and required custodial staff, programs, posters, and other tournament specific expenses. Should a region have an excess of donations for three plus years, the funds will remain in the fund but be designated for any tournament.
Thank You to Our School and Corporate Supporters, too!
The following companies have supported Washington DI through grants and matching donations for employee donations or volunteer hours:

Tricycle theatre announces capital project
Daisy Bowie-Sell • London, Off-West End • 25 Jan 2016
The Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn have announced plans for an ambitious capital project which will update and transform the venue's auditorium and front of house spaces.
Work is scheduled to begin this summer and plans are to complete in 2017.
Arts Council England have contributed £3.1 million to the scheme and a public campaign to raise additional funds is yet to be announced.
The project should increase the size of the Tricycle's auditorium by 25 per cent and quadruple the number of wheelchair accessible seats in the auditorium from two to eight.
There will be a new cafe on Kilburn High Street which the theatre is hoping will become a hub for the Kilburn community.
Artistic director of the Tricycle Indhu Rubasingham said: "This vital upgrade will help us to secure The Tricycle's future and enable us to realise our ambitious vision by ensuring our venue is truly accessible and open to all."
Actor Adrian Lester has pledged his support for the campaign, saying: "Under the leadership of Indhu Rubasingham, the Tricycle has blossomed as a venue in and for the community whilst proving itself as an incredible production powerhouse which rivals any UK theatre venue."
Architects Greg Chapman from Chapman Waterworth will be overseeing the redevelopment. The company have previously worked on projects for Hampstead Theatre.

Some run, some slither
Reptiles in the Park
There are 8 species of reptile in the Park, the commonest is the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis), which can be seen everywhere in summer, particularly on old buildings and rocks. Less common is the beautiful western green lizard (Lacerta bilineata) bright green in colour, the males have a blue throat in the breeding season. Decidedly rare on the other hand, is the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis), which has only been spotted in a few places in the Valle Gesso.
Another interesting lizard is the slow worm (Anguis fragilis), which has developed a snake-like body as its legs have regressed completely and are no longer visible. Often mistaken for a snake, this gentle "lizard without legs" is often cruelly killed out of ignorance. It lives in cool woodland environments and like lizards can lose part of its ">tail to escape predators in case of danger.
Rettili (7 foto)
The commonest snake is undoubtedly the western whip snake (Hierophis viridiflavus), present up to 1800m, followed by the asp viper (Vipera aspis), which can be seen at considerable heights in sunny settings with plenty of holes. Less common is the smooth snake (Coronella austriaca), very similar to the asp viper in colour and often confused with it (with unfortunate consequences for the unlucky reptile); it is in fact completely harmless. There are also occasional sightings of grass snakes (Natrix natrix), a species found around water courses and ponds, where it hunts amphibians and small fish.

Finally, back in school. Things are going well for me.
I might be buying a vending business to; so...things are looking really up. My company is shooting a short film, and this may or may not be the project that launches me to fame. At this point though, I just enjoy making amatuer film. Next semester Im taking a class on screen writing.
After some insecurity, I've decided my best option is not to continue in the Guard. I have some issues with credit that will make it hard to maintain my security clearance; and I may work to fix them up, there are other issues which will probably cause me to lose it.
So I'd rather go out on a good note, than have something bad happen. So I think I will just let it slip away next year.
I will keep this blog up for the last year of my enlistment, and continue posting. However, my last post, I promise you, no matter where Im at, will be on January 11th; 2012. After that, I'll be through.
But hey, we still have a year (plus) worth of me ranting about crazy drivers, the Army, and remembrances of the little part I played in our nation's history. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Morgan Saddington – Ancient Artistry Stands the Test of Time
Often when we think of technology we think of it occuring largely in the 20th and 21st centuries. Technology is merely an advancement of something based on scientific principles. So imagine a technological advance made 1600 years ago that is still in use today. Chainmaille was a technological advance commonly credited to the Celts. Today what comes to mind is the Middle Ages or Medieval Period with the knights, princesses, valour, honour, jousts and of course chainmaille armour. Although we no longer use armour in our society, at least not in the sense of fighting battles, chainmaille is still in use today for things like cut-resistant gloves for butchers and woodworkers, shark resistant wet suits and, in the case of our blog, as a statement of fashion in the form of jewellery.
Morgan Saddington lives in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island and like many people she wanted to explore her innate creativity. Her first passion was photography but due to her lifestyle circumstances at the time it wasn't going to be a fitting choice. She started out buying beads and components to assemble jewellery and later became interested in silversmithing which gave her the ability to hand-make every piece for her designs from start to finish. When Morgan kindly agreed to an interview I was anxious to hear why it was chainmaille that was the primary component of her jewellery designs. My own imagination "swept me off my feet" as I began thinking about The Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur, Sir Lancelot and Guinevere! As it turns out, chainmaille was simply happenstance for Morgan and part of her art education. Alas, my fantasy was dashed! But seriously, Morgan found her niche and has been creating gorgeous jewellery ever since.
Click the images below to see a larger perspective.
Morgan primarily uses traditional chainmaille patterns with signature clasps and pendants that give her designs a unique perspective for the modern jewellery era. Her pieces are an elegant combination of ancient history blended with avant-garde. The clasp and pendant designs remind me of miniature shields that could have been fashioned after that which may have been used in a joust or to protect the face of a knight. The sterling silver used to make the chainmaille is all hand cut and then linked together by hand, one by one, to form a pattern. Morgan loves the contrast that chainmaille lends to her jewellery. It has strength and yet it has flow and movement that is wonderfully appealing. Her pendants are inspired by nature and embrace a simplicity that I just love. They are hand cut copper pieces. The surface is scratched, a layer of gesso is applied, then she uses coloured pencil, a spray fixative and finally comes a layer of micro crystalline wax. This can be repeated for up to 8 layers depending on the effect Morgan is looking for.
Click the images below to see a larger perspective.
As you probably have guessed by now, this is not a creative outlet for the hurried. Morgan loves the meditative feeling that creating her one of a kind artistic adornments give her in the making of each piece. Please join us as Morgan talks more about her jewellery in her video interview. Don't forget, we love comments and share all you want with social media!
Norma Jackson Lives a Creative Life
When we planned a trip to Vancouver Island in April our intention was to meet with some of the artists we didn't catch up with the first time around. One of those artists was Norma Jackson. Norma lives in Duncan, B.C. with her husband Rodney and their cute little pooch. She is an award winning, eclectic, acrylic painter who often incorporates sculpture into her pieces. When she is not working on her own projects she spends time sharing her knowledge and inspiring others to discover their creative potential in various workshops she holds in her studio or takes on the road.
It was wonderful talking with Norma as she reminded me that when you have an intention for your life you must pursue it no matter how scary it may seem at first. Norma started out like many of us, myself included, speeding down the life long job highway only to discover; "this is not for me!" Not to say that a job doesn't serve a financial purpose and is even sometimes fulfilling, but this route, from beginning to end, doesn't suit everyone. I can't say exactly how Norma came to this crossroads in her life, but perhaps it happened because she was open to the possibilities of what might, and did, cross her path. One day she found herself playing the role of a business executive with little opportunity for creative potential, and the next she was living a creative life painting and sculpting for a marionette company. With the help of a wonderful lady who became her mentor, Norma discovered many things that lay dormant within her and so put herself through many firsts such as painting, sculpting, set design, public speaking, puppeteering, writing, directing and performing to name just a few.
Eventually Norma found herself in the field of healing, and she discovered the healing properties of creativity, whether from creating for oneself or sharing one's creativity with others. Norma discovered that it doesn't matter if we are at the beginning of our life or coming to its end, the power of creativity can heal the smallest or biggest wounds. Her experience and her desire to help others led her and her band of marionette's to visit people in hospice care, and later she developed a highly effective marionette program for youth contemplating suicide. In her video interview Norma shared with us some heart wrenching stories that left a lump in my throat.
Click on the thumbnails below to see the larger image.
Often we think of art and creativity in such a limited way; something to be admired or something that only people with excess disposable income can enjoy, either to pay for art school, lessons or just to purchase someone's creative accomplishments. Norma is one artist, of many I'm sure, who have taken the merits of art to another dimension in society and as Norma says, "art is the life's blood of our society." Although her hospice work and the youth suicide program have been dismantled because of government funding cuts, her creative endeavours have changed the path of those who were dying by giving them comfort and peace, and to those who wanted to die by giving them a reason to live.
Today, Norma works on her own art and with great insight and a deep connection to her surroundings wherever she finds herself and with whomever she meets. She is interested in people, rituals, nature, abstract and just about anything that her open mind welcomes in. I was fascinated to hear her story and what led her to where she is today. These are the stories that keep me going in my life when the demon of doubt sometimes shows up unexpectedly. Perhaps they may do the same for you.
Please join us as Norma shares her journey by way of living a creative life. We love to hear from you so please leave a comment and share on social media. Thanks.

Our Purpose
15 years ago we noticed a problem.
The best and latest in technology and know-how was out of reach for organisations that desperately needed it.
Benevolent organisations deserve the same level of tech as the big players so as to become efficient, effective and deliver maximum social impact (at a sensible price).
We work to remedy this disparity.
This is why Human IT exists.
We specialise in:
- Aged Care
- Community Development
- Employment & Training
- Law & Legal Services
- Emergency Relief
- Grant Making Activities
- Housing
- Health Services
- Social Services
- Mental Health
- Research
- Environmental Activities
Our Company
- Since 2001 we have been delivering IT solutions to over 120 organisations across Australia.
- We have a relentless focus on helping our clients increase impact – year on year
- We take pride in our exceptional track record, very high customer satisfaction and our ability to help organisations create social impact
- Our unique approach provides one year learning cycles and continuous improvement
- We have no exit strategy. We are here to stay and create lasting impact
- Human IT team consists of 14 staff members
- And 2 Directors:
- We are proudly B Corp Certified
- We deliver services nationally through a number of long term interstate partnerships.
How we are different
NFP's & social enterprises need more than technology advice and support to maximise their impact.
They need:
- Targeted and practical IT strategies, aligned to their purpose
- Someone to walk side by side with them & bring these strategies to life
- Best practice IT Management to keep IT performing the way it should
- IT Support that goes beyond resolving technical issues and increases their team's ability to use technology well
- Help to measure their results and understand where to invest next to further increase their impact.

A bill advertised as creating jobs at small businesses and increasing their access to capital from the public markets would also knock down many of the auditing controls protecting investors.
The so-called JOBS Act has already passed in the House and is making steady progress in the Senate, thanks to bipartisan support from lawmakers in Congress, in addition to the White House. While the bill has a number of positive features that are appealing to both parties, it also contains worrisome provisions that are beginning to raise warning flags from the Securities and Exchange Commission and auditing watchdogs like the Center for Audit Quality.
CAQ executive director Cindy Fornelli commented, "The CAQ is concerned about any attempts to further weaken investor protections in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and encourages lawmakers to refrain from doing so."
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act would create a category of companies known as "emerging growth companies" that could have annual revenue of up to $1 billion and go public with some key investor protections missing. Instead of three years of audited financial information, they could go public with only two. They would also be exempted from Sarbanes-Oxley rules requiring audits of internal controls.
The $1 billion threshold for an "emerging growth company" is so high that former SEC chief accountant Lynn Turner estimated at a Senate Banking Committee hearing that 98 percent of all IPOs since 1970 would have fit into the category, according to The New York Times.
SEC chair Mary Schapiro has also warned against the weakening of investor protections in the bill (see Senate Fails to Pass Energy Tax Credit Extensions). She is rightly worried that dubious companies could easily get access to the capital markets and leave investors holding the bag when they collapse. Questionable provisions in the bill would allow for so-called "crowdfunding" of companies, allowing them to raise money through social media and over the Web. This could well lead to Internet scams.
"Too often, investors are the target of fraudulent schemes disguised as investment opportunities," Schapiro wrote, according to the Washington Post. "As you know, if the balance is tipped to the point where investors are not confident that there are appropriate protections, investors will lose confidence in our markets, and capital formation will ultimately be made more difficult and expensive."
The American Institute of CPAs has also warned about the changes to the Sarbanes-Oxley 404(b) internal control audit requirements in the legislation, noting that under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, only companies with a public float of less than $75 million were exempted from the audits. In the JOBS Act, the market capitalization level would rise to $700 million. Emerging growth companies would be exempt from the internal control audits for five years, or until they reached that $700 million market cap.
Ironically, when the bill was introduced last month by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., a fact sheet on his Web site explicitly stated that investors in emerging growth companies would be protected "by requiring the ECGs to provide audited financial statements as well as establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting" (see Congress Cooperates on Small Business Bills).
The legislation actually combines six different bills that had advanced through various House committees last year. The provisions creating the category of emerging growth companies came from a bill introduced by Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn. However, last September and November, the CAQ and the Council of Institutional Investors wrote to the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Finance Services Committee cautioning them against the weakening of the SOX internal audit controls. Nevertheless, the bill was approved by the House Financial Services Committee by a vote of 54-1 and has now been included in the larger JOBS Act.
The Council of Institutional Investors more recently has written a letter earlier this month to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to urge them away from the weakening of investor protections in the new bill. Another problematic portion of the bill includes limitations on shareholders to voice their collective concerns about executive compensation and "golden parachute" severance packages at emerging growth companies. These would weaken the so-called "say on pay" provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act.
Other provisions would effectively impair the independence of private sector accounting and auditing standard setting, respectively, the CII noted.
"More specifically, Sec. 102(b)(2) would prohibit the independent private sector Financial Accounting Standards Board from exercising their own expert judgment, after a thorough public due process in which the views of investors and other interested parties are solicited and carefully considered, in determining the appropriate effective date for new or revised accounting standards applicable to EGCs," the CII wrote. "Similarly, Sec. 104 would prohibit the independent private sector Public Company Accounting Oversight Board from exercising their own expert judgment, after a thorough public due process in which the view of investors and other interested parties are solicited and carefully considered, in determining improvements to certain standards applicable to the audits of EGCs."
The Council noted that its membership "has consistently supported the view that the responsibility to promulgate accounting and auditing standards should reside with independent private sector organizations," and thus opposes legislative provisions that would "override or unduly interfere with the technical decisions and judgments (including the timing of the implementation of standards) of private sector standard setters."
The Council pointed to a 2010 joint letter that it wrote with the AICPA, the CAQ, the CFA Institute, Financial Executives International, the Investment Company Institute, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, explaining their strong support for the independence of private sector standard setters. The Council also reiterated its objections to the provisions exempting the emerging growth companies from Sarbanes-Oxley audits of internal controls. The Council noted that some of the most knowledgeable and active advocates for small business capital formation have in the past agreed that a company with more than $250 million of public float generally has the resources and infrastructure to comply with existing U.S. securities regulations.
An amendment introduced by Senators Jack Reed, D-R.I., Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., would raise the threshold level for emerging growth companies to those with less than $350 million in gross revenue, and eliminate the House bill's exemptions from accounting rules, say-on-pay and golden parachute requirements, and executive compensation disclosures.
"We should listen to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which warns us that the House bill 'would create marketplace and investor confusion' that dampens, rather than strengthens, investment in growing companies," Levin said in a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the amendment was defeated in the Senate on Tuesday in a 55-44 vote, not enough to surpass the 60 votes needed in the Senate nowadays to pass most measures.
The House bill appears to be on a fast track to passage in the Senate. While it's heartening to see Democrats and Republicans uniting on a measure to promote small business job creation and access to capital, the bill could end up benefiting Wall Street and shady stock promoters more than small businesses, at the expense of the auditing profession and the investing public.

Bambini and Me are a really intriguing company. The inspiration behind their business came about on a family holiday in Thailand. Melissa, one of the founders, came across a gorgeous pair of bamboo baby pyjamas and was shocked by how soft they were to touch and how beautiful they were to look at. This started her quest to bring truly 'baby soft' bamboo clothing and accessories into the lives of British babies!
Using bamboo for baby products has hugely positive environmental knock-on effects, but when we were sent some product samples to test out, the main factor for us was comfort for our little girl (one-year-old).
So, how did these products shape up to comparable products we already have at home? Well, for us, the key difference truly was the softness of the material. We were sent six bamboo washcloths and an oversized hooded towel, all made from soft bamboo.
I had previously been using flannels in the bath with my little girl (she tends to get a tad mucky at dinner time and needs a good wipe in the bath!). When I switched to the bamboo washcloths, I really did notice a difference. The only problem is that she loves touching the washcloths as much as I do, so it's a bit of a fight to keep her from grabbing the material when I'm trying to wipe her face!
We were arguably even more impressed by the oversized hooded towel. It really is oversized (it's huge!) and will clearly last our little one for years. The material, made from a delicate fibre blend of bamboo and cotton, is so soft to touch and I love wrapping my little one up in it after she's come out of the bath all nice and clean. We have put our towel through the wash a few times now and the material has kept its super-softness, which is fantastic.
Bambini and Me also sell leather shoes. The company found themselves inundated with requests from parents about baby shoes, so decided to introduce a soft premium leather shoe. These are really cute. The shoes are soft-soled and our little girl has used them indoors and outdoors at the park. They are meant to replicate that bare-foot feeling to make the transition from not wearing shoes to wearing shoes easier for little ones to handle. Our little girl loves running around in them, and indoors also (for some reason) loves running around holding them in her hands!
Bambini and Me are a lovely company that sell great products at sensible prices. We would really struggle now to go back to using washcloths and towels not made from the material Bambini and Me use, and that's a solid sign of a fantastic baby product.

Question about Dryers
Posted by Kcboz1 on
When you say it won't turn all the way on, does that mean the drum isn't rotating?
If yes, the belt from the motor that goes around the drum might have broken and you can hear the hum of the motor spinning but no longer rotating the drum.
The other thing I can think of is that the motor itself has failed, possibly seized, and you can hear the motor trying to spin but it cannot. With the dryer unplugged and empty of clothes, try to rotate the drum. If it rotates extreamly easily, then the belt has broken. If you cannot rotate it at all by hand, then chances are the motor is seized. It should rotate with moderate effort.

If Dryer does not tumble , check the following:
" It won't tumble If your dryer doesn't tumble, check these:
Door switch
Belt Dryers have a drive belt that turns the clothes drum. If the belt breaks, the drum stops rotating. Then you need to replace the belt, and often the idler pulley, because the pulley tends to wear out at the same time.
Click here for a belt installation diagram.
Motor If the dryer motor only hums when you press the Start button, the motor may be burned out. Here's how to test the dryer motor:
If the motor rotates freely, run the motor momentarily with the belt removed and the blower in place. If the motor runs fine with the belt removed, there may be a problem with the idler pulley or the clothes drum. Try to rotate the drum by hand. If it is very difficult to move, correct any problem with the rollers or pulley, and then reassemble the dryer and try it again.
If the motor hums but doesn't rotate on its own even with the belt removed--yet you can turn it freely by hand--you usually need to replace the motor or the motor start capacitor.
Door switch Your dryer can't operate at all if the door switch is defective. It's inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it."Source Repaiclinic

SOURCE: dryer drum won't turn...makes a humming noise
Sounds like your problem may be a broken belt, or the belt may have slipped off of the motor pulley, or idler arm pulley.
If you have to replace your drum belt and if you have a front loading machine.
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the machine, this will expose the belt and drum, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley. Pay attention to the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt and drum.
Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum not to turn.
While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you lubricate the drum rollers at the shaft of the roller with a good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting noisy, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them this will cause a noise like a thumping type noise. You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.
I will include these two websites for parts and further help:
Both also have chat assistance 24/7.
Good luck,
I hope this helps

Testimonial: "thank you so much for getting back to me......I think your diagnosis is probably correct so will try to repair."
SOURCE: Dryer makes loud humming noise
Check to see if the drum will turn by hand. If so, leave the door open but push the light switch button down and start the unit. Once you hear the humming sound, manually turn the drum with your hand to start. If the drum turns normally, you have a bad motor and needs to be replaced. If the drum does not turn, something is jamming the motor and needs to be disassembled and inspected.
Good luck

Black raspberry gel may help prevent oral cancersDecember 7th, 2007 - 6:44 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 7(ANI): A recent research has revealed that a gel made from black raspberries may help prevent oral cancers.
According to American Cancer Society statistics, oral cancer is one of the deadliest of all cancers, with about 35,000 new cases each year in the United States and 7,500 deaths annually.
The study conducted at Ohio State University suggested a gel made from black raspberry could offer a means of stopping oral lesions that often leaves patients permanently disfigured.
The research was conducted over 30 people, 20 of whom had identifiable precancerous lesions, and 10 normal controls.
Each of the participants was instructed to gently dry the lesion sites (or a pre-selected control site for the normal participants) and rub the gel into the area four times a day, once after each meal and at bedtime.
The finding revealed about 35 percent of the peoples lesions showed an improvement in their microscopic diagnosis, while another 45 percent showed that their lesions had stabilized.
About 20 percent showed an increase in their lesional microscopic diagnoses. Significantly, none of the participants experienced any side effects.
Susan Mallery, professor in the Department of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery and Pathology at Ohio State Universitys College of Dentistry said that Black raspberries are full of antioxidants that have a role in controlling the cancerous cells.
This gel appears to be a valid means of delivering anthocyanins and other cancer-preventing compounds directly to precancerous cells, since it slowed or reduced lesion progression in about two-thirds of study participants, said Susan.
Oral cancer is a debilitating disease and there is a desperate need for early detection and management of precancerous lesions, she added.
The gel looks deceptively like black raspberry jam, but it certainly does not taste like something you would want to spread on toast, she further added.
The bioadhesive gel, which contains 10 percent freeze dried black raspberries, is devoid of many of the tasty sugars found in native berries.
The research was presented at the American Association for Cancer Researchs Sixth Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (ANI)

In some of the toughest neighborhoods, it is an unwritten rule that certain people are off limits. The ice cream driver is one of those people you leave alone and that is why so many people in Vallejo are in shock.
"My son called me and said, 'Mom somebody shot the ice cream lady.' I came around here because I couldn't believe it," said neighbor Terry Joseph.
Armajit Kaur, 39, was found slumped over in the driver's seat of her ice cream truck, around 2:30 Wednesday afternoon. Police say she was shot at least once in the chest at Springs Road and Castlewood Drive near Springstowne Middle School.
"Recently, we've had several reports of robberies occurring in this area by juveniles," said Vallejo police Lt. Able Tenorio.
Police believe the suspect may be a juvenile.
They are also looking for a person of interest. He is a Hispanic male who was acting suspiciously in a nearby store shortly after the shooting. He is between 5'6" and 5'10" tall, about 200 lb. with a large build, and he was wearing a black pea coat.
The victim's sister-in-law, Manjit Kaur, says the ice cream lady is a widow with three children, who lost her husband to a heart attack several years ago.
"She thinks they lost everything. Whose going to take care of three kids? She was the only bread earner for them, and they think it's a complete loss to them if she doesn't come out of it," said a translator for Kaur.
"All crimes are concerning, but this is just unusual for us," says Lt. Tenorio.
Relatives say Armajit Kaur leased the ice cream truck and only made about $50 a day.
"She never would have taken up a fight or nothing like that. She would rather give it away and just gone home," said Kaur.
It is a crime that is disturbing even in some of the toughest parts of Vallejo.
"She's always around, but it's just awful. You can't even come out and get an ice cream any more. It's not safe anymore," said neighbor Angela Cook.
Family members say Armajit Kaur is in serious condition, undergoing surgery at John Muir Hospital, in Walnut Creek.
Police are offering $1,000 for information leading to the person of interest.
If you have information regarding this case, call the Vallejo Crime Stoppers line at (707) 644-STOP (7867).

Identify the desired therapeutic outcomes for a patient with musculoskeletal injury or pain. Identify the factors that guide selection of an analgesic or counterirritant for a particular patient. Recommend appropriate nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic therapy for a patient with musculoskeletal injury or pain. Design a patient education plan, including nonpharmacologic therapy and preventative strategies. Develop a monitoring plan to assess treatment of a patient with a musculoskeletal disorder. ++ INTRODUCTION ++ The musculoskeletal system consists of muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Disorders related to the musculoskeletal system often are classified by etiology. Acute soft-tissue injuries include strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments.1 Repeated movements in sports, exercise, work, or activities of daily living can lead to repetitive strain injury, where cumulative damage occurs to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons.2,3 Although tendonitis and bursitis can arise from acute injury, more commonly these conditions occur as a result of chronic stress.2,4 Other forms of chronic musculoskeletal pain, such as pain from rheumatoid arthritis (see Chapter 57) or osteoarthritis (see Chapter 58), are discussed elsewhere in this textbook. ++ EPIDEMIOLOGY AND ETIOLOGY ++ Musculoskeletal disorders are commonly self-treated, so true estimates of the incidence of both acute and chronic injury are difficult to obtain. In the United States, over 60 million musculoskeletal injuries occur each year, with 60% of episodes treated in ambulatory care offices.3 These disorders account for a large portion of medical care expenditures and are a leading cause of work absenteeism and disability, resulting in a substantial economic burden from lost productivity and lost wages. ++ Some musculoskeletal disorders are induced by trauma at the workplace either via a one-time overexertion or through repetition and cumulative trauma.3 Strains and sprains are the most common workplace injuries, representing over three-fourths of all musculoskeletal injuries. Musculoskeletal injuries are more likely to occur with heavy lifting, exposure to vibration, or working overhead.5 ++ In the elderly, musculoskeletal injuries may not be related to work but to daily life. Half of all musculoskeletal injuries occur in the home with falls being the most common cause for those aged 65 and older.3 In children and adolescents, fractures are more common than muscle and tendon injuries because growth spurts cause bones to weaken while the muscle–tendon unit tightens.2 ++ Muscle injuries comprise the majority of sports-related injuries, and roughly half are related to overuse.6,7 The ankle is the most common site of sports injury.8 Basketball, which requires rapid acceleration and higher speeds, poses the greatest risk of muscle sprain.9 Other sports requiring pivoting at higher speeds, such as volleyball and soccer, also pose a high risk of overuse and ...

No. The defendant, the insurer, or an assignment company must purchase an annuity to fund a structured settlement agreement and maintain the tax free status under section 104 (a) (2).
A properly configured structured settlement will provide tax-free future payments to the plaintiff. Both the principal and accumulated interest can be excluded from the plaintiff's gross income, because the plaintiff doesn't own or control the funding asset. Plaintiff's in higher tax brackets will enjoy even greater tax benefits.
Yes. A plaintiff's knowledge of the cost of an annuity used to fund a structured settlement agreement does not constitute constructive receipt, and therefore does not endanger the tax advantage.
Yes. The payments would be excluded under IRC § 104 (a)(1). Assignments are available under IRC § 130 if the claim is for workers' compensation filed after July 1, 1997 or if the claim is paid from a casualty insurer.
Yes, if a proper assignment is employed. However, liability insurers receive favorable tax treatment under other tax rules.
The virtually unanimous rule is that the contingency fee is calculated as a percentage of the cost of the funding asset for the structured settlement.
Structured settlement annuities usually return 2.5%-3.5% more than tax-free bonds. Historically structured settlement annuity yields are .5% to 1% higher than government bonds.
A structured settlement's payment schedule can use growth rates, stepped increases for monthly payments and lump sum future payments to offset inflation.
A conforming settlement and/or assignment agreement, a reliable obligor or assignment company to own the funding asset and a strong life insurance company. Increasingly, security interests are being used to increase reliability. Only highly rated life insurance companies and United States government obligations are approved for the funding vehicle.
A rated age is hypothetical age given to a person with a reduced life expectancy for purposes of pricing an annuity. A person may have a chronological age of 20, but due to a severe medical condition, be treated for pricing purposes the same as a 50 year old. This means a medical actuary at a life insurance company has determined that the person has the same mortality risks as a 50 year old.
Injuries, illnesses and other serious medical conditions may reduce an individual's life expectancy. The amount of the life expectancy reduction depends upon the severity of the health problem and the experience of the actuaries evaluating the case. A reduced life expectancy is common among people with spinal cord injuries, brain damage, heart disease, and cancer, among other conditions. A preexisting medical condition can also be considered to reduce the claimant's probability of survival.
A qualified assignment is an assignment conforming to IRC § 130. It transfers the obligation to make the periodic payments from the defendant or its insurer to an assignee company. The assignee company is usually related to a life insurance company. The assignee company typically purchases an annuity from a related life insurance company. The assignment normally releases the defendant from all future obligations, although this is not a requirement of the tax law.
