You wouldn't be happy paying someone to design and build your dream home, but walking away with nothing more than the blueprints, content to figure it out on your own.
You wouldn't be happy going to an exclusive restaurant, paying for a premium meal, and having the chef bring out all the ingredients on a plate and leaving you to fend for yourself.
And you aren't going to be happy if you pay a photographer to create images you love, then have to spend the next several months or years waiting until you have time to learn Photoshop and InDesign before you can print your first portrait.
It's kind of like taking your car to a mechanic, paying them to tune up your vehicle, but telling him "we really just want you to dig in there, find the problem, give us the spark plugs, and we'll finish the rest of it ourselves".
He can give you the spark plugs, sure, but he still has to charge you for the time he spent, the electricity the work used, the opportunity cost associated with taking your car over someone else's. The $5 spark plug is really irrelevant in that equation...all those things have a cost associated with them, which adds up to basically the same as what you'd pay for him to just finish the job.
As the "digital revolution" took hold, we have taken our most cherished possessesions - our memories - and reduced them to a cold flat soul-less piece of hardware, one that many admit years later, aside for some pictures they posted on social media, they never looked at ever again.
That's sad. I don't want that. We worked hard to get those images. I pulled out all the stops, pulled out an extra lens for a special shot, brought the extra doo-hicky-bobber just in case, we hiked 3 miles by the time it was done, I left with bruised knees, your sides hurt from laughing, and I had sand in my tripod clamps, but we were both beaming from ear to ear!
Behind the scenes during portrait shootDirecting my model posing next to this killer tree we incorporated into her photo shoot. Resulting "Gnarly Tree" imageModel Kylie in the final shot that we got during her session
And what about you!?
You paid good money for those images.
And they were awesome.
And you left feeling good about this!
Think about it: you got your entire family together and traveled 682 miles to be together. Your brother in law wore a collared shirt for the first time in 10 years, and your moody teenager smiled "for real" running around that beach. You're going to leave them on a disc, or a USB drive, and not bother with them ever again?
So Luxurious...not.The digital files are a means to an end. They are not the product. They are the ingredients in the chef's concoction, they are the blueprint for the architect's skyscraper, they are merely the bits and bytes in a photographer's toolkit that result in a finished photograph. Oh what's that? You had every intention of making a book, but you couldn't figure out whether to go with Canva, SmugMug, or SnapFish. You say you wanted to put some on the wall but couldn't decide between Fine Art Matte, Fuji Deep Matte, and True Matte, and finally got overwhelmed and too busy to worry about it. I see. And before you knew it, six years went by...oh what's that?...it was ten years. Yikes.
Sad, isn't it? I've now been around long enough now to have clients come back to me over the years and tell me this same thing over, and over, and over.
The turning point for me was when I attended a workshop at Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) one of the megalith international organizations for professional photographers, and my mentor Sue Bryce got up and kicked us all in the ass.
To a room full of the top minds in professional imaging, she laid into us up one side and down the other, like an auditorium full of school children getting called into the principals office.
In her signature Kiwi accent, she made us realize that we were the reason that an entire generation of children are going to grow up without that self esteem that comes from seeing your photo framed lovingly on the side table, why family legacies now had gaping holes in their records, why sitting on grandma's couch flipping through photo albums will become a lost art, why and why when future populations look back on this time, they're going to wonder "where did everyone go?"
Really?This is what you want to look at in exchange for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars? We have all taken the easy way out. Consumers, content with an online-only existence. And Photographers, relieved to be rid of all the work that happens after the shoot.
So together we have contributed to "the missing generation".
We are now a culture that, when the drives crash, the internet "clouds" dissipate, USB sticks get lost, or better yet, experience the tiniest bit of static electricity and get wiped clean (true story), the CDs get scratched (or an ant farts too close to them and barely misaligns the surface, rendering them useless), or anything else happens to our current methodology of storing our memories, we will have nothing to show for it.
So, myself along with many other professionals in my field, have committed ourselves to not only the art of making good images, but the craftsmanship that comes with delivering a product that will last.
If nostalgia and longevity are not enough to convince you that what we are doing here is meaningful (and therefore valuable), then perhaps a more business-like spin on it will help provide some additional insight.
There can sometimes be a disconnect between the easy perception of digitals being an "easy fix" for an inexpensive shoot, and the professional standard of providing a finished, tangible product, retouched and mounted so it will both look good and last a lifetime.
People tell me "I don't want anything fancy", or "I don't need a lot of extra stuff". I understand it's easy to think that because digitals aren't something we can pick up and touch, that they have no cost associated with them. Actually, digitals represent the greatest cost of all the products a photographer can offer. A print is only created because the client wants it, therefore it represents no long term cost to the business...no storage, no backups, no servers, no software.
This Is Your Brain...On ElectricityEvery thought, feeling, emotion, tear, memory, frustration, every inch of growth, every family outing, every loss, and everything that represents your visual history, now looks like this.
Digital files, on the other hand....well, we shoot 100 raw files, generate an editing catalog, store the sidecar files, store the exported 16 bit TIFF files for long term storage and the 8 bit High-Resolution JPG's for immediate use, the low-res web files for our website, and the watermarked versions for vendors and marketing.
Most photographers can't bear to delete old shoots, so the hard drives pile up year by year, and because every good photographer knows that it's a matter of when, not if, a drive will crash, there has to be duplicates on another set, and a cloud backup in case the building burns down someday.
So out of a set of 100 images on a small shoot, the client may select 10 for their order, but we maintain the full set for safe keeping, and now have a stock pile of 1800 files (Original Raw x 100 + Edited sidecar files x 100 + HighRes Jpg x 100 + LowRes Jpg x 100 + Watermarked x 100 + Archival Tiffs x 100 = 600 copies + 1 Duplicate Drive x 600 + 1 Cloud Based Backup x 600 = 1800).
Go Big when you Go HomeHanging photos on the wall is scientifically proven to increase dopamine (the happy chemical), increase self-awareness and self-esteem, and is linked with happier marriages and more stable home life.
Consider the difference in intrinsic value from when you pick up an album, with thick pages and leather hand-stitched cover, or a canvas print carefully stretched over a frame and hung lovingly on the wall.
There is almost no amount of money that you can put on the happiness, stress-relief, and relationships that are built on positive self-image and visual affirmation.
"Shoot and burn" photographers cannot give you what I, and other professionals who operate like I do, can give you.
If you are wanting to work with someone for whom this is a full time career, there is effort, time, and money in education, insurance, taxes, staff, materials, and equipment that you expect when you give good money for a service, that affects the cost of the service regardless of the finished product.
Sure, some pricing is affected by location, and those intangibles like years of experience, creative style, and longevity (knowing that if you need to come back 5 or 10 or 20 years later, the liklihood that that person will still be in business), but in general, there are basic operating expenses that do not go away.
Because of that, the cost - from a business standpoint - is the same whether you receive 10 digital files, or 10 beautiful prints and their accompanying digital files.
All other things being equal, why wouldn't you want both?
I pose the question....if you are going to invest in the time and effort it takes to get your group together and capture some beautiful portraits, isn't it worth it as well to work with someone who is going to see the process all the way through to the end? Someone who isn't going to leave you out in the cold, designing your own album, cropping your own photos, printing images on non-color-calibrated printers, and leaving it up to you to keep those digital files safe and secure.
"Just getting the disc" might sound like a good idea right now, but 30 years from now, when your family can pick up and hold prints, or reach up to the portrait on the wall, or sit and thumb through old prints stored neatly in a box...that is when the value of what you purchased really hits you.

Consequences of an Order of Protection in Arizona
Order of Protection Consequences in Arizona
If a restraining order (or more accurately, an order of protection) has been filed against you in Arizona, you may have no idea how to respond. You might not understand why it has been issued. You may even feel that the entire situation is completely unfair and uncalled for. You may not be wrong. If you aren't sure how to respond to a restraining order or order of protection that has been issued against you in Arizona, the first thing you should do is determine what type of order of protection is in place.
If you determine that the restraining order you are dealing with is a civil harassment restraining order, or a court order intended to protect people from abuse/harassment or threats of abuse/harassment, it will usually order you do not contact or come near the person listed as the protected party as well as ordering you to stay away from the protected individual's place of residence, school, work, etc. The order may also prohibit you from possessing firearms until the protective order expires.
If you are in receipt of an order of protection against you, it is imperative you read the order very carefully to ensure you do not violate that protective order. A violation of an order of protection is a crime and failure to obey the order may result in fines, jail time, or both. Do not contact or go near the individual listed as protected and follow the rules regarding owning/possessing firearms. If you own firearms and the protective order prohibits you from possessing firearms, you may surrender your firearms to a local law enforcement agency, which will return those firearms to you when the protective order expires.
If you wish to contest the protective order, you may file a response to the request for a restraining order to be dismissed. If you wish to do so, contact an experienced attorney. Regardless of whether or not you file a request for a hearing with the court. Having a restraining order issued against you may have serious consequences with respect to employment and, particularly, if you have any government security clearances.
If you have questions regarding an order of protection or restraining order that was issued against you, please get in touch with the experienced Scottsdale and Phoenix family law attorneys at Hildebrand Law, PC at (480)305-8300.

Hello!I am still in San Martin. But, Elder Solis left and a new Elder came in. Elder Amezcua. He is from Mexico and only speaks phrases of English that the missionaries have taught him and things he has learned from movies. For example, ´this sucks´and ´crap man´and i´ll be back´. haha it´s pretty funny. Elder Amezcua is a big dork, and it´s easy to have fun with him. I'm definitely a lot happier. Anyway, he finishes his mission in November. So he has been out for a good while. He is funny and we are having lots of fun. I´m going to try to send a picture of us but if you dont get it I´m sorry. The only problem I have with Elder Amezcua, is he is a dang good cook. He is always cooking Mexican food and it´s really good. Im going to be fat....=)

The Sony superhero comes to life thanks to the studio's Oscar-winning visual effects company.
If it were not for Sony Pictures Imageworks, Spider-Man might never have been able to swing through the canyons of New York City with so much acrobatic brio -- and the villains he encounters might not have been so formidable a threat. Imageworks, the studio's Culver City-based visual effects house, is marking its 20th anniversary this year as The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters. And just as Peter Parker grows into his superpowers during the course of the movie, Imageworks has been testing its creative powers, which have grown steadily as the $2.5 billion-grossing franchise has progressed.
While Spider-Man was brought to life by Tobey Maguire in the first three films (Andrew Garfield has now taken over the iconic role), a "digital double" of the lead actor had to be created for those scenes when Spidey swings into action. For that, the masked superhero was created entirely inside a computer by Imageworks' team of artists.
"We mo-capped a gymnast," says animation supervisor Spencer Cook, who worked on the first three Spider-Man movies, of experiments with performance capture for the first film in 2002. "But Spider-Man just looked like a gymnast; it didn't look like Spider-Man. We moved away from that since a lot of Spider-Man shots have larger-than-life action."
And so, with a mix of artistry, technical R&D and experimentation, Imageworks continually has helped reimagine the world of Spider-Man and his various opponents -- especially those scene-stealing villains. "There is a theatricality to certain Spider-Man characters, particularly the villains," says Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb. "We spent a lot of time thinking about how [the villain] The Lizard would work biologically. A big part of that was how he would talk -- the mouth and the musculature. You are really creating a species from the ground up."
"I love this new character," says Imageworks executive vp production Debbie Denise, who joined the company in 1995. "When you see how the skin moves over the muscles, and the textures and the way the light is caught on the skin, we could not have done that a decade ago."
Sony Pictures Entertainment created Imageworks in 1992 as a "digital factory" that could create in-house effects for Sony movies, TV shows and videos, though from the beginning it also took on jobs for other studios' films.
Jerome Chen, senior visual effects supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man, joined when he heard Sony was starting an effects group. "It was in the top floor of the TriStar building on the Sony lot," he recalls. "They had card tables set up in a conference room, and the computers were in there too. It was freezing because they needed giant air conditioners to cool the computers."
Relatively quickly, Imageworks emerged as a rival to more established effects houses such as Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain. Five-time Oscar winner Ken Ralston (The Return of the Jedi, Forrest Gump) joined Imageworks as its senior VFX supervisor and creative head in 1995. Ralston, who recently completed Men in Black 3, says that while the company's technical tools steadily advance, its success is due to "the expertise and the artistry of our people."
Imageworks' staff ranges from 750 to 1,000 employees, depending on the size of projects in production. Its slate currently includes Disney's Oz: The Great and Powerful, which reteams Imageworks with Sam Raimi, director of the first three Spider-Man films; Sony's animated movie Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers; and that studio's live-action/animated hybrid The Smurfs 2.
Along the way, Imageworks has developed a particular expertise in character animation, and that in turn laid the groundwork for sister company Sony Pictures Animation, now 10 years old. As it challenges Pixar and DreamWorks Animation, SPA has turned out such films as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Oscar nominee Surf's Up and the upcoming Hotel Transylvania.
"Sony Pictures Animation was started to utilize some of the incredible skills and talent that were at Imageworks," says Bob Osher, president of SPE's digital production division, which includes Imageworks, SPA and web development arm Imageworks Interactive.
"There is a lot of back and forth," says Osher, explaining that when SPA develops movies, it is Imageworks that actually creates the animation. The companies share their Culver City campus, and Imageworks also maintains facilities in Vancouver and Chennai, India.
Lots of R&D has accounted for the increased sophistication of Imageworks' achievements, including its ability to create more realistic digital doubles -- which, says Ralston, gives the artists greater creative freedom.
Cook cites an example: "Between Spider-Man 1 and 2, Sam Raimi realized the more Peter Parker takes his mask off when he is Spider-Man, the more the audience can relate to him." Since some of the swinging scenes involved creating Peter's face as well as Spider-Man's body digitally, "we had to push the technology further between the first and second films because we wanted to see more of his face."
The new Spider-Man runs up against another new, and tricky, hurdle since it is the first Spider-Man movie shot in 3D.
Director of photography John Schwartzman lensed the film in native 3D with Red Epic cameras on 3ality Technica rigs (the combination used on Peter Jackson's Hobbit films). Because Webb "didn't want to be heavy-handed about the 3D," says Imageworks veteran Rob Engle, "we would save the 3D moments for when Peter Parker turns into Spider-Man and swings through the streets."
Working side by side with VFX supervisor Chen, Webb, whose only previous film was the quirky indie (500) Days of Summer, got a crash course in making a $220 million visual effects movie. Determined to keep the film emotionally and physically grounded, says Webb, "I wanted to shoot as much of the stunts in camera as possible -- but, of course, when you are working with a character like Spider-Man, you need that spectacle and that sense of thrill."
MICE AND SUPER-MEN: Two decades of VFX
1994: Jan de Bont's Speed tests the limits with its climactic bus jump.
1996: Henry Selick's James and the Giant Peach contains Imageworks' first flowing CG water.
1999-2000: The title character in Oscar nominee Stuart Little often is billed as the first CG-animated star of a live-action feature ... The Oscar-nominated visual effects in Hollow Man show off early work in digital human animation and motion capture.
2002: Spider-Man becomes the highest-grossing superhero movie up to that point ($403.7 million domestic; $821.7 million global) and kicks off a close working relationship between Imageworks and director Sam Raimi.
2003: The ChubbChubbs! wins an Academy Award for best animated short film.
2004-05: Robert Zemeckis' The Polar Express is released in 90 Imax 3D theaters, which generate more than 25 percent of the film's overall box-office revenue, demonstrating the potential of 3D ... Spider-Man 2 wins an Academy Award for best visual effects.
2007: Zemeckis' Beowulf features CG renderings of such actors as Angelina Jolie and Anthony Hopkins that attract attention for their realism.
2010: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland earns more than $1 billion worldwide and in 2011 is nominated for an Academy Award for best visual effects.
Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe, 2002) "There had been digital doubles before Spider-Man, but it was still a horrendously difficult thing to do," says Spencer Cook of creating a fully CG Goblin. "From an animation standpoint, we wanted the motion to be dynamic and tempered with realism."
Doc Ock (Alfred Molina, 2004) Each of the multiple CG arms had to appear to be controlled by Doc Ock but still have its own autonomy. Cook says the realism had to be "kicked up because Doc Ock didn't wear a mask, so creating him digitally, we had to go to a whole other level."
Sandman (Thomas Haden Church, 2007) The "Birth of Sandman" sequence showed anguish etched into a face made from hundreds of millions of particles. To do that, the effects animation team developed a particle system and integrated the motion of the sand into the performance.
Venom (Topher Grace, 2007) Imageworks artists approached Venom as a savage predator whose behavior mirrored stalking animals like the cheetah. The team also worked to portray the inky black goo that brings Venom to life as a character all its own, as if it were alive and thinking.
The Lizard (Rhys Ifans, 2012) "We wrote a lot of custom software to make sure beneath his loose reptilian skin, there is powerful muscle. When he moves, you feel the dynamics," says Jerome Chen. "We translated the expressions on Rhys' face onto The Lizard so you can connect with the character."

Editor's note: The presidential nominating contests in both parties will come down to the California primary.
For Democrats, 548 delegates are at stake — 11.5% of the total. For Republicans, 172 delegates are at stage — 6.9% of the total. Of those, for Democrats, 158 (29%) are divided proportionally on a statewide basis, while 317 (58%) are divided proportionally by congressional district, with each district providing between 5 and 8 delegates. The remaining 73 (13%) are "superdelegates."
For Republicans, 13 (8%) are awarded statewide, with ten going to the candidate with the highest number of votes on a winner-take-all basis, and three going to "pre-determined" delegates (the State Chair, National Committeewoman, National Committeeman). Meanwhile, 159 (92%) are awarded by congressional district on a winner-take-all basis, with each district providing 3 delegates.
The result: a district-by-district battle in both parties, which we preview for you here.
CA-51: This district extends the length of California's southern border, from San Diego to Arizona, which is also the U.S. border with Mexico. It is 70% Latino, and represented in Congress by moderate Democrat Juan Vargas. Border issues and national security are paramount among the district's 50,000 registered Republican voters. Perhaps for that reason, Vargas led California's congressional representatives in opposing the Iran deal in 2015, warning it would start a Mideast arms race.
Democrats: Clinton should do very well in this district, though a late surge in support for Sanders will also be visible.
Clinton 3, Sanders 2
Republicans: If Trump cannot win along the border where the "wall" is to be built, he may as well give up and go home.
Trump 3, Cruz 0, Kasich 0

Can you tell me your name and what you do for work?
I'm Sadie Williams and I'm a fashion designer.
How did you first become interested in being a fashion designer?
I have always loved clothes and dressing up, and I think it can be one of the most fun parts of the day. I just really decided to do fashion after having an "anti-fashion" moment when I was about nineteen. I wanted to do art and print design and then actually thought, "No I really do want to do fashion — it's always been there with me."
You style is so unique. Do you feel like not fitting in has been a good thing for your career?
Yeah I definitely think you should always stay true to yourself. I think growing up and going to Portobello Market and buying vintage clothes and second-hand clothes when I was really young, and also going to a funny boarding school in a really safe environment where I could dress up and wear whatever I wanted has definitely influenced my style, and I've always kind of worn what I wanted.
What do you like about the freedom of being your own boss and not answering to anyone?
I like that I really get to pursue my vision and be in touch with myself creatively, and sort of gather a big team of people around me, friend and peers, to help make it happen.
What has inspired you?
I don't like to pigeonhole inspiration to one area. I find inspiration in all sorts of places like exhibitions, photography books, flea markets, boot sales, eBay shopping. I don't like to choose one thing.
What's something that's difficult about your career that we might not know about, not being in fashion?
I think it's most difficult having more than one role. I'm never just a fashion designer, I'm always organizing the studio, or organizing with factories, my website, all sorts of things.
How do you create your unique style?
I've always been quite eclectic in how I pick up my inspiration, so it's always down to the edit, what you use and what you take away. I've always been drawn to putting an odd combination of things together.
What's next for you?
Well there's always another season. Now that I'm doing my own label, I'm always focusing on that. But I'm also looking forward to working on more collaborations with other companies and brands too.
Why do you have a website?
I have a website to showcase my work and ideas to the world, and I can just update it whenever I have a new season collection, and update news, and present my brand— basically to get my vision across.
What do you want the viewer to take away when they visit your website?
I want the viewer to really understand my brand identity from looking at my website, and how I enjoy colors and textiles and texture, fabrics, prints. I want them to enjoy that side of it and enjoy the images that we've made.

How in the world can Millennials and Gen Y say they are the greatest generation ever? They didn't fight in a World War, survive the Great Depression and most of them are not even 30 years old, so how can you make such a bold claim on national TV? In this controversial interview, Jason debates whether Millennials can truly say they are the greatest generation. The answer will surprise you (as will the debate about free interns).
For the first time ever, there are four different generations in the workplace and five generations in the marketplace. This unprecedented generational convergence is creating all kinds of new challenges in everything from communication and motivation, to sales, marketing and innovation. Understanding each generation's mindset, hot buttons and life stage is essential to bridging generations of employees and customers successfully.

Highlights of today's show:
- Budgeting on an irregular income can be difficult
- The key is to prioritize your spending each month on what is important
- Establish a Hill and Valley fund to get you through the lean months
- How to budget when getting paid every other week
- March Madness should not be what you use to describe your finances!
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="450" caption="Credit: Joseph Sangl"][/caption]
Budgeting on an irregular income can be tough. This goes for anyone who is self-employed or works on commissions. Because it can be difficult a lot of times we give up and do not budget our money, which leads us into problems. To combat that you need to make budgeting a priority even more because of the unpredictable income!
A traditional budget will not typically work with irregular incomes. To help with that I have created the irregular income spreadsheet on our free financial resources page to help out. This budget is much easier for people on an irregular income to use than a traditional budget. Today we walk through how to budget for irregular incomes. In addition, we discuss why it might be wise to establish a hill and valley fund separate from your emergency savings as well as discuss budgeting when you get paid every other week.
With March Madness upon us I encourage you to look at your own finances. If you use March Madness to describe your financial situation then you have a problem that needs to be addressed. If you would like me to help walk with you in this process contact me today. Remember, March Madness should only be used to describe the action on the hard wood and not your personal finances.

Black Friday Lego Sales – Things you need to know…
My advice is not to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, especially when it comes to Lego. I did an article a few weeks ago on Investing in Lego, this needs to be kept in mind before anybody buys, even if you are simply buying for Xmas.
Black Friday is good to by appliances if that's what you need rather than want. So if your washing machine breaks down today, wait until next Friday and get it cheaper. However, if you want to buy toys for Christmas and in-particularly Lego then be careful, there maybe one or two good deals but don't expect to fill your cart with them.
Next Friday I will be looking at all the Lego deals and weighing up the reduced price against the possibility of that item going out of stock and its popularity – see top performing retired Lego. I will also refers to the "soon to be discontinued" Lego items and see if they are on sale. I won't be buying anything cheap just because they have reduced the price for Black Friday because the chances are they will lower the price next year or even 2 weeks before Xmas anyway!
Study Hot UK Deals for the latest deals but don't be fooled into buying anything just because the masses are. I saw an old deal on there selling Lego Windows and Doors 6117 for £9.99, now recently these were going for £59.99 on Amazon! Why? because you cant get Lego 6117 for love nor money, so if you can find a deal like this old one, buy lots and lots, keep hold of them until they are sort after the following year!
Have a safe online shopping experience, remember to choose wisely! Please check out our blockfactory.co.uk for the best deals before making any Lego purchases.

For more than a year, employees and management have been diligently working behind the scenes on planning and preparing for a much-needed upgrade to the credit union's 26-year-old core data processing system. After fully training staff and performing a multitude of various tests on the upgraded system, all signs point to a smooth, seamless upcoming transition. We are ready and excited about everything, for it will streamline and improve internal operations so we can serve you even better.
The upgrade will occur August 1-3. Please note that during this brief period, all of our branches will be closed for business, and you will not be able to access your Arsenal account(s) at shared branches operated by other credit unions, either. Phone service and online banking service also will be unavailable. You will still be able to use your Arsenal Visa® debit card and make deposits and withdrawals at ATMs, but with some limitations. You can also continue to write checks, as well as make purchases and get cash advances with your Arsenal Visa® credit card, during the system upgrade.
To ensure that you are fully prepared, we ask that you do the following before the upgrade begins at the close of business (6 p.m.) on Friday, July 31:
- Conduct any pending Arsenal business in person, online or over the phone before July 31 if it can't wait until August 4 or later to be completed.
- Withdraw any cash you suspect you will need between July 31 and August 3 by using an ATM or visiting a branch, whichever is most convenient for you. (Note: Per-day limits on ATM withdrawals will begin at 2 p.m.)
- Schedule online bills (due during the upgrade period) in advance. Online bills that you have already scheduled to be paid during the upgrade period will still occur. Print or download your online transaction history as needed, since past history will not be accessible after July 31.
- Consider applying for a Visa credit card from Arsenal as soon as possible. Keep in mind that it takes 7-10 days to receive your card in the mail once you have applied for and been approved for such.
On Tuesday, August 4, everything returns to normal!
We apologize for any inconvenience that the transition causes you. Growing is how your credit union has remained strong for 67 years, and we want to be here for another 67 years and beyond. This upgrade is simply another step in the direction toward offering you the most advanced products, services and experiences possible. Thank you for your patience and the trust you have in Arsenal.
For a list of answers to the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding the system upgrade, visit ArsenalCU.org and click on the "Improvements in Progress" tab on the right side of your screen. If you have any questions, please send an email to email@example.com or call 314.962.6363.

Making the Move to Immersive Retail
Retailers large and small have long relied on in-store advertising and signage to attract customers, promote individual products and product lines, and highlight sales and other offers. Although these promotional methods help drive sales and boost revenue streams, maintaining traditional, non-digital in-store displays poses significant challenges, particularly for large-scale retailers with multiple stores.
Many products and product lines cannot shine to their fullest via traditional displays. That's because non-digital displays offer a limited amount of viewable content per unit area. Retailers always face hard choices when deciding which products to promote most heavily and, consequently, which to marginalize. The spatial constraints of traditional displays also narrow the details that retailers can make accessible to customers. Shoppers hoping to learn product specifications can be disappointed to find only the most cursory information and must often seek additional assistance elsewhere.

What is not to love about this eco-friendly banig surfboard bag? It's made with natural materials, everything is locally sourced, it is locally made, and it's pretty damn affordable.
"I've always been interested in making products that will make the surf world a better place," Surfer Carlo Garcia tells MB Life on Facebook. Bearing in mind all the things a surfer like him needs, he conceptualized the eco-friendly surfboard bag "focusing on the craft and local materials available." He doesn't plan to use plastic in making the bags.
Coming from a family that owned local brands like Cardams, Otto and Itti shoes, Carlo is more than well versed with pattern making and design. In 2010, he put up Carabao, a brand that focuses on handmade and handwoven leather products, as well. He has other businesses supplying native products out of sabutan and banig, which brings him to his latest venture. "I made the patterns myself since I have experience in it. And then I sourced the materials all over the Philippines," said Carlo, who, for the good part of the decade, has been traveling the country to catch and ride waves.
The surfboard bag—he is mulling naming it Munkee—is made with handwoven pandan leaves, which he sources from Bolinao, hand-dyed sacks, all-natural latex foam. "No glue, cement, or plastic was used," he reiterates, adding he's getting help from a local sewer named Annie to create the prototype.
The bag comes in different sizes, from 5'2 to 10 feet, which he plans to sell from P3,500 to about P5,500. "I plan to go independent on this, retailing it first online," Carlo said.

New Product Launch
Morvite is a high-energy porridge for enjoyment by the whole family. From its roots as a pre cooked maize and sorghum blend, when it was used on the mines as an instant energy drink and known as "Phuza Amandla" or "Drink for Power", it has evolved over the years to become a ready-to-eat porridge for the modern family. The challenge was to move this brand into an aspirational platform, drive appetite appeal, and primary benefits on the pack. The large bowl was conceptualized and photographed to drive the perception of volume, the heart was added to the milk pour and resonates with the brand platform of caring.

REMEMBERING THE BONE HOUSE An Erotics of Place and Space by Nancy Mairs (Harper & Row: $17.95; 288 pp.)
Nancy Mairs begins her "erotics of place and space" with musings on what women's writing might be. In the tradition of Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own," her feminist method is true intellectual inquiry: not an accusation of wrongs done, but a search for a way to express the human condition. Her interest is in women's autobiography, or "feminist memoir," as she calls it.
Mairs chooses the admittedly problematic word "erotics" because her subject is physical memory and the accumulation of awareness throughout a life. This sounds very abstract, but the author has a gift for making very personal experiences resonate. One vivid image is of her feet unfalteringly treading the uneven steps of a long-forgotten staircase. This experience of revived memory, she says, is a significant landmark in the human psyche, and one that indicates the mysterious qualities of the bodies we inhabit--our "bone houses."
The world Mairs recalls is organized by places she remembers and dreams of, particularly the old family house in Kennebunkport where she went to visit as a child. The topics she touches are the common and uncommon stuff of daily life--mothers, motherhood, lovers, lovemaking, friendship, work, mental and physical illness.


text: When I try to run Unreal Tournament 2004 on my new PC, it plays the Nvidia movie and then when it gets to the start screen where I can select single player, online, settings, etc..., the screen starts to get little graphic errors and quickly become lots of jumbled squares and then freezes. I can run the game just fine in safe mode (UT2004 has a safe mode you can run) but everytime I load it that way, I have to uncheck all the options because it wants to run safe mode without sound, etc... and I have to uncheck all those boxes so it plays normal. Has anyone else had this problem?

Well as every doctor advise, choose face pack which fulfill your skin requirement; that is to say, best suited to your skin. If you know what your skin type; then do not waste time and energy in using wrong face pack on your skin. Use the right one. And, this task of choosing the right one for your skin, I will make easy for you because today I will tell you which face pack is best for which skin.
So, here comes different types of face pack; but not all total types; only main one and best one-
- Cucumber and peppermint or basil based face pack.
- Fruit based face pack.
- Gel based face pack.
- Fuller's earth and neem leaves based face pack.
Now first is,
1) Cucumber and peppermint or basil based face pack-
Cucumber, peppermint and basil based face pack combination is right for oily skin. Yes, it is because it fulfills all the basic requirements oily skin needs correction. Yes, oily skin needs correction from excess sebum collection in skin pores in two ways; first by removing this excess sebum time to time and second by preventing excess sebum collection.
- And, this cucumber, peppermint and basil all of them in a combination in form of face pack remove both excess sebum collection in skin pores and as well prevents excess sebum collection; by delaying its formation for time being, by delaying and decreasing rate of perspiration by few hours for time being.
2) Fruit based face pack-
Fruit based face pack is needed for which skin? Well it is good for every skin. It is full of nutrition, as it is made out from fruit constituents and fruit nutrition; which skin type does not need nutrtion? Every skin type does need nutrition of fruits for optimum skin; but if you are thinking is there any human skin type towhich only this fruit based face pack is suited? Then, that skin type is sensitive skin to which only this face pack suits best.
3) Gel based face pack-
Gel based face pack is new type in face pack, which has come recently. It is also good face pack, if you are using this face pack, only if you have skin for full filling requirements of which it is made by skin care product manufactures. To which skin it suits best? It suits best to oily skin as well as normal skin; but does not benefit dry skin much.
- Sensitive skin users can use it, but it does not give that much nutrition as fruit based face pack give. It does not suit to dry skin as it does not fulfill requirements of moisturization and deep nourishment of face pack.
4) Fuller's earth and neem leaves based face pack-
The face pack made from this combination is best suited to oily skin; just like face pack combination made from cucumber, basil and peppermint. Acne sufferer can too use it; as it also suits the oily and sensitive skin combination, which acne sufferer have. Fuller's earth deep cleans and neem leaves not only do deep cleaning; but also kills bacteria developing in acne along with sebum.

(Gas Ningen Daiichigo)
All of Ishiro Hondas films are special effects spectacles. In fact, there is almost nothing else to them the human element is an afterthought that trails a long way behind other considerations. The Godzilla films and The Mysterians are spectacles of mass devastation but with The Human Vapor an effort was at least made to write in a human story. However, the results are ungainly. The film is static and slow. The bank robbery getaway and car chase through the city into the country is incredibly dull most of it seems to consist of wide-angle shots of cars driving and cuts away to various shots of the city. The middle of the film with the Vapor Man, cops and reporter girls following the dancer becomes dull and drawn out. (On the plus side, Keiko Saha as the girl reporter has a warm and sparklingly assured presence over and above the usual bland, demure girls who appear in Japanese fantasy cinema). Regrettably, it is the attempt to introduce a human element that drags this one out.
Ishiro Honda is not a dramatic or an actors director and the film works best when it allows him to get back to the effects sequences. Certainly, these are excellent with some eerie effects with the hero transforming into the Vapor Man developing a glowing face, assembling out of vapour in reverse motion camera effects, of suits collapsing as the Vapor Man emerges or he evaporating so that he can squeeze between the bars of a cell door. Occasionally the romantic relationship manages to have some effect despite the dullness. The heroine opines corny but oddly affecting lines like To me he is not a vapour man, he is all that is wonderful. The tragic ending is modestly affecting.
Ishiro Hondas other genre films include:- Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1954), Gigantis the Fire Monster/Godzilla Raids Again/The Return of Godzilla (1955), Rodan the Flying Monster (1956), The Mysterians (1957), The H-Man (1958) about a radioactive blob that can dissolve people, the Yeti film Half-Human (1958), Varan the Unbelievable (1958), the space opera Battle in Outer Space (1961), Gorath (1962) about a rogue planet, King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962), Mothra (1962), Atragon (1963) about a super-submarine, Attack of the Mushroom People/Matango, Fungus of Terror (1963), Godzilla vs the Thing/Mothra vs Godzilla (1964), Dagora the Space Monster (1964), Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965), Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster (1964), Monster Zero/Invasion of the Astro Monster (1965), War of the Gargantuas (1966), King Kong Escapes (1967), Destroy All Monsters (1968), Godzillas Revenge (1969), the submarine adventure Latitude Zero (1969), Yog The Monster from Outer Space (1970) and Terror of Mechagodzilla/Monsters from an Unknown Planet (1976).

This game showed what the GAA is really about. Pride, passion, determination. However there was a dramatic goal by corner-forward Colm McFadden from the sideline on the Cusack Stand side of Croke Park. The ball went straight to the net. The game was fought to the bitter and it was left to Karl Lacey to kick over the insurance point to leave Donegal in dreamland and Kerry heartbroken.

Can you develop technology-based tools, strategies or techniques that facilitate the exchange of data and foster collaboration between primary care and public health?
Primary care providers benefits from public health leaders if they are effective in using policy and programs to address the overall health of the population (including addressing health equity and underlying social conditions that affect health), while public health officials benefits from the ability of primary care providers to provide individual patient assessment, disease management, care coordination, and quality improvement 1. Establishing connections to allow for the flow of current and relevant data will enhance the work of both primary care and public health professionals. This challenge is an effort to create connections that leverage the data and skills of each group to improve population health. Solutions should focus on building sustainable connections between primary care providers/systems and public health agencies for the exchange of data and information.
This is not an exercise to develop tools and techniques for specific disease interventions or programs, i.e. a tool for the clinical setting or strategies for patient education.
These groups are defined as follows:
Evaluation Criteria:
- Facilitates data exchange and fosters collaboration between primary care and public health professionals in a mutually beneficial manner
- Usability and design of solution
- Can be easily integrated into the workflow of primary care and public health professionals, including existing EHR / Health IT data infrastructures
- Innovation and unique qualities of solution (e.g., fills a known gap or breaks new ground)
Submission Criteria:
The challenge will take place in two phases. Phase I will require teams to submit a written description of the proposed solution, while Phase II will require working prototypes. The submission requirements for each phase must include (but not limited to):
Phase I:
- A written description (up to 3 pages) describing the tools, strategies or techniques that facilitate collaboration between primary care and public health that includes:
- Description of the proposed application
- Description of the innovative and unique qualities of the concept
- Product development plan
- Team profiles
- A slide deck with illustrations/mockups of the tool (no more than 10 slides)
Phase II:
- 3 page development plan describing next steps to develop the product, business and marketing
- 5 minute video demonstrating the application
- Link to working application
- Phase I: 5 Finalists: $3,000 each
- Phase II First Place: $30,000
- Phase II Second Place: $10,000
- Phase II Third Place: $5,000
Winners of Phase II may be invited to feature their solutions at the Practical Playbook Annual Meeting on May 22-24, 2016.
Congratulations to the Phase I Finalists!

Under Armour's latest ad, featuring Michael Phelps, is great. So great that the swimmer himself cried after watching it.
It's easy to see why: The video shows a solitary Phelps grinding, suffering and working hard largely in the shadows, unaccompanied by anyone. The ad's mood is one of obsession, drive, willpower and sacrifice.
Upon release of the commercial, Under Armour also shared Phelps' reaction. But first, you need to see the video for yourself:
As great as the commercial is, Phelps' reaction is even better. Under Armour surprised him with the ad during a visit to UA headquarters. The apparel maker recorded Phelps and his fiancee as they watched and responded:
New #RuleYourself spot featuring @MichaelPhelps drops tomorrow. See his emotional reaction the first time he saw it.https://t.co/gc6OclXLOB
— Under Armour (@UnderArmour) March 7, 2016
Phelps will make his final Olympics appearance this summer, four years after insisting to the world that he was going to walk away with no regrets. This video is the first taste of his comeback journey, with more surely to come.

Frequent, sensitive and accurate sampling of Anopheles mosquitoes is a prerequisite for effective management of malaria vector control programmes. The most reliable existing means to measure mosquito density is the human landing catch (HLC). However, the HLC technique raises major ethical concerns because of the necessity to expose humans to vectors of malaria and a variety of other pathogens. Furthermore, it is a very arduous undertaking that requires intense supervision, which is severely limiting in terms of affordability and sustainability.
A community-based, mosquito sampling protocol, using the Ifakara tent trap-B (ITT-B) and standardized resting boxes (SRB), was developed and evaluated in terms of the number and sample composition of mosquitoes caught by each, compared to rigorously controlled HLC. Mosquitoes were collected once and three times every week by the HLC and the alternative methods, respectively, in the same time and location.
Overall, the three traps caught 44,848 mosquitoes. The ITT-B, HLC and SRB caught 168, 143 and 46 Anopheles gambiae s.l. as well as 26,315, 13,258 and 4,791 Culex species respectively. The ITT-B was three- and five-times cheaper than the HLC per mosquito caught for An. gambiae and Cx. Species, respectively. Significant correlations between the numbers caught by HLC and ITT-B were observed for both An. gambiae s.l. (P < 0.001) and Cx. species (P = 0.003). Correlation between the catches with HLC and SRB were observed for Cx. species (P < 0.001) but not An. gambiae s.l. (P = 0.195), presumably because of the low density of the latter. Neither ITT-B nor SRB exhibited any obvious density dependence for sampling the two species.
SRBs exhibited poor sensitivity for both mosquito taxa and are not recommended in this setting. However, this protocol is affordable and effective for routine use of the ITT-B under programmatic conditions. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the trap and the protocol be evaluated further at full programmatic scales to establish effectiveness under fully representative conditions of routine practice.

I have to say I'm both surprised and a bit disappointed. A long while ago I bought a pack of Moleskine Volant notebooks. I was in Italy, and they were sitting near the register at a book store. Here in the US they are impossible to find in a store at all, so I bought them. They sat unused for a long while until I filled the notebook I was using and decided to give them a try. I kind of like them.
Because they are thin, they fill up quickly which reduces the amount of pocket rash they accumulate. While they don't have the band or placeholder ribbon, they are pretty durable and write fairly well. All the pages in the second half of the book are perforated, despite the ad-copy that suggests only the last quarter of the pages are perforated ("Each with 64 paper pages….The last 16 sheets are detachable"). I'm not sure how well those pages will stand up, but I'll know soon.
Anyway, I liked them enough to go to order more. I prefer the plain pages, but they are no longer on the website. The have only the ruled and address styles, not even grid.
Are the Volant notebooks going away?

Your customers are not buying your products, they are hiring them to get a job done.
- Clay Christensen, Harvard Business School
Jobs-to-be-done is a term introduced by Harvard Business School Professor Clay Christensen to explain that customers hire products to get a job done. Other people have stated this concept in different ways. As far back as the 19th century, Thomas Edison said, "Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success." A customer's job-to-be-done is the utility a product should satisfy.
In the 1960s Theodore Levitt at the Harvard Business School was famous for saying, "People don't want a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole." In other words, focus on the customer's job, not the product, in order to achieve success.
Start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology.
- Steve Jobs
And more recently, Steve Jobs said product development should "start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology." The job-to-be-done is the customer experience. And Apple became the most valuable company in the world with this focus.
But how do you focus your team on your customer's job-to-be-done?
This is easier said than done.
Jobs-to-be-done are very complex. Even the seemingly simple jobs can have over 100 customer needs. Customer needs are the metrics customers use to judge the speed and accuracy with which they can get a job done. For example, selling a used car to another person is a job that has 104 customer needs.
thrv is the first and only software that focuses your team on your customer's job-to-be-done. Why is this focus important? Because most product roadmaps are full of ideas that do not satisfy unmet customer needs and, as a result, increase the risk of company failure.
People don't want a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole.
- Theodore Levitt, Harvard Business School
Companies do extensive amounts of customer research, including focus groups, interviews, and "voice of the customer" listening. But this hasn't improved the success rate of product teams. Why? Because the focus is not on the customer's job-to-be-done.
As Henry Ford notably said, "If I asked customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." In other words, don't ask customers what product they want, ask them about what job (i.e. what task or goal) they need to accomplish and what is difficult, frustrating or time-consuming about getting the job done.
This is thrv's key difference: it identifies all the needs in your customer's job-to-be-done to help your team build a high growth product roadmap that will beat your competition.

You'll run on beautiful riverside paths through stunning woodlands, and up onto the hills with fabulous views of the Tweed Valley, in all its autumn splendour. But there's a very cool surprise too.
The trail leaves the woods and dives into Neidpath Tunnel – a 600m railway tunnel, complete with lighting effects.
The routes makes a fantastic run even without the tunnel finale, but running out of the beauty of the Tweed valley autumn and into an unforgettable underground running track will be something you really won't have experienced before! It's going to be amazing fun!
How long? What kind of trails?
The trail will provide a top quality run with a choice of three route lengths – we'll confirm the exact distance once the final tweaks to the course have been sorted, but the routes will be around 4k, 10k and 20k. The routes will include beautiful scenery, trails by the River Tweed, a viaduct crossing, some cheeky climbs and stunning forest.
The entire course is off road, with footpath, dirt track, gravel and stone surfacing along the way.
The start and finish are in lovely Hay Lodge Park in Peebles EH45 8JQ and the course follows the banks of the Tweed, past Neidpath Castle and over the railway viaduct before heading uphill and into the woods, with fabulous views down to Peebles and the valley. Mixed woodland trails bring you down to the Tunnel and a fun return to the park, where you cross the river again and return to the finish.
Take a look at the 2017 routes here: 10k and 20km. The 2018 routes are coming soon.
Timing is provided by a Sport Ident system. You carry a small timing card on your wrist, which you scan at the start and finish timing stations to record your time on course. You can choose, within a 30 minute period, when you want to start and the timing operates like a time-trial system. It's not a mass start battle to get onto the trails first. Run on your own, run with your pals, start early, go at the back – it's your choice, do what feels right.
What's the Tunnel all about?
Neidpath Railway Tunnel is 600m long with a curve in it which means when you're in the middle, you can't see either end, and normally it's totally pitch black! It was opened in 1864 and was last used by a train in 1954, and it's in remarkably good condition.
For the event, Edinburgh-based lighting production maestros Black Light, are going to rig the tunnel with some cool lighting effects which will make running through it a particularly interesting experience.
Headtorches are not necessary despite running through a tunnel!
Will the Tunnel be scary?
No, 'fraid not. Come back another day and run through it in the dark if that's your thing! (You won't be disappointed.)
This year we have two registration options.
- You can register on the day, sign on and collect your number on the day then collect a timing chip.
- You can choose the postal option your number will be sent out to you in advance so you won't have to queue to sign on you can go straight to collect your timing chip.
There will be marshals positioned throughout the route, and even inside the Tunnel. They will be in radio contact with Event HQ and can help in the very unlikely situation that you might need help.
The course will be clearly marked throughout with arrows and course tape where required.
What should I wear?
One of the joys of trail running is that all you really need is a pair of trainers and some water. Best to bring a waterproof just in case, and an extra layer in case you get cold afterwards. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Footwear with adequate grip for slippery off-road conditions required (trail shoes are strongly recommended for this event).
Get ready
If you haven't run in a trail race before, please consider the following as you prepare –
- The course will be undulating on a variety of terrains. Get used to running up and down inclines, and negotiating mud, roots and uneven tracks.
- Become comfortable with your footwork – hips, ankles and legs aren't used to uneven ground and changing direction if you've only run on tarmac before.
- You'll discover your pace in far more erratic in a trail race with both slow and fast sections, so you may not achieve your goal pace/race time.
- You should start the race well hydrated and fuelled. You may want to carry an energy gel during the race.
- There will be a water/refeshment stop on the course, but please do not solely rely on this if you think you will take a while to complete the course.
Getting Here
Peebles is easily reached from all over the UK and a short transfer from airports and train stations. Regular bus services in the area are provided by First Group, Bus number 62.
If you are arriving by car the main roads into the Tweed Valley are the A7 and A701 from the South and the A701 from the North. And if you're arriving by air you will probably arrive via Newcastle or Edinburgh Airport.
The closest stations are Edinburgh Waverly Station or the brand new Galashiels Railway Station. Check Travelline Scotland for dedicated bus connections.
Share car transport whenever you can – there's a very useful car-sharing website at www.tripshareborders.com

Prior to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission Act 2012 (the "Act") incorporated associations were administered by States or Territories while companies limited by guarantee were subject by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission regime.
With the introduction of the Act, NFPs are now subject to both Commonwealth and State and Territory Legislation and the team at Bennett & Philp Lawyers can provide expert advice in managing the requirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commision.
The following are matters which may influence an NFP whether to remain as an incorporated association or to change to a company limited by guarantee including:
- "operating" in more than one State or Territory i.e.. trans jurisdictions
- ASIC reporting requirements including:
- Information on directors
- Lodging financial reports and directors' reports
- Providing financial reports and directors' reports and auditors' reports to its members
- Auditing of accounts for a company with annual revenue of $1M or greater
- Liability of members; and
- Costs of compliance.
As a general rule NFPs which have a cross border operation and a turnover of $2M or more are likely to find a company limited by guarantee as the better legal entity by which to conduct its operations.
