Studio Art
If you believe you are a creative, traditional studio artist, Lakeland University will help you flourish. Our studio art major studio is designed to meet your specific needs and make you stand out to potential employers in your chosen profession.
Students who immerse themselves in studio art at Lakeland will graduate well-positioned to thrive as successful fine artists, some of whom may choose to continue to grow at the graduate school level. Over the years, every Lakeland studio art student who has applied to graduate school has been accepted, a track record we are quite proud of.
For every studio art major, their capstone experience is the renowned Senior Exhibition, which gives art students their first professional major exhibition and leads the way toward many more.
"Our talented graduating artists are given an opportunity to display the very best of their work to Lakeland's faculty, staff and students, as well as visiting family, friends and members of the local off-campus art community," says Bill Weidner, Lakeland's Associate Professor of Art and Director of the Bradley Art Gallery.
"Each senior sets up a unique display in the Bradley Art Gallery, promotes the exhibit, and on opening day, gives a brief presentation and answers questions from members of the audience."
Another showcase event, the Annual Student Art Exhibition in the Bradley, annually features up to 500 pieces of "A" level work from many disciplines of art. Top work is also displayed year-round in the Verhulst Hall Art Gallery.
Before studio art students are ready to share their work with the LU community, they engage in challenging course work. They also learn to use a broad range of media and art tools to become skilled at creatively composing the elements of art – line, shape, value, texture, color and space.
"Our students receive constant and honest daily feedback, as well as scheduled critiques that prepare them for the more advanced studio art courses, such as higher levels of painting, watercolor, drawing, printmaking and ceramics," said Weidner.
"Finally, our students reach the highest-level courses, in which, under supervision, they design their own artistic direction."
Broad spectrum knowledge
All studio art majors at Lakeland University will learn time-tested art theories and techniques. Traditional classes in design, drawing, color theory and art history are in the core academic mix. Later, students gravitate toward the discipline and medium that will best satisfy their own personal, self-expressive needs.
Art at Lakeland
When our art students produce great work, we like to make sure it's seen and appreciated by others.
At Lakeland, excellence is regularly showcased, through the Senior Exhibitions and the Annual Student Art Exhibition in the Bradley Art Gallery which often features up to 500 pieces of students' "A" level work from many disciplines of art.
Senior exhibits provide our well-educated graduating artists with the opportunity to display their work to peers and visiting family and friends. Each senior gives a brief presentation and answers questions from members of the audience.
The students prepare the work, display the work and promote their role in the exhibit.

Participants: pre-service, graduate, early-career and retired teachers
Duration: 3.5 hours
Standards: 1.1 and 1.5; 6.2 and 7.2
Accreditation: teacher identified PD; however ClassCover does offer BOSTES accredited courses
ClassCover's professional learning programs are designed to support relief teachers in their career journeys. Casual teachers are those who work to fill either day-to-day vacancies, or short contacts with a maximum duration of one week. I began my career relief teaching, and learnt a variety of skills and cross-curriculum knowledges, however found specific training for casual educators difficult to find in my jurisdiction. As a teacher educator I found that many recent graduates in the ACT still begin their teaching careers as relief educators, and my sister was a relief teacher in NSW for almost five years after completing her degree!
I completed the three hour online course titled Introduction to Relief Teaching for Graduates to provide an honest review of a free training package for pre-service and graduate teachers, and early-career educators who are in the casual cycle of employment. The training is facilitated by Open Learning for Class Cover who also offer membership to the Relief Teaching Association ($89 for 1 year membership). Besides the introductory training session, ClassCover also offer another free professional development course titled Effective Use of Interactive Whiteboards and a plethora of free association member courses (or $20 for non-members).
How is the course structured?
The course consists of ten modules that teachers can work through at their own pace. I found this particularly useful as it fit in around family commitments and work requirements. The modules contain a range of learning activities, some which are required for course completion and additional optional activities for further development. The main content is covered by direct instruction through one or two videos that go for about five to nine minutes. Teachers must completed tasks throughout including forum posts, quizzes and reflective submissions.
What was the highlight of the training?
I appreciated the opening module of the course which covered the theoretical basis for the content and the importance of the teacher in making a difference to student outcomes. The highlight of the course however was module two, a day in the life of a relief teacher, because it is situated early in the course to provide a thorough overview of what to expect and how to manage expectations. This foundation helps pre-service and graduate educators prepare for an environment and experience often not covered in their university training. Relief teaching has a unique set of expectations and module two specifically addresses the difference between relief work and contract or permanent positions.
What was my overall impression of the course?
I think that for a free training program this professional development course is worth spending the time on as it provides you with strong foundation and knowledge in relief teaching. However, if the approach for the paid courses follows a similar direct-instruction approach then I would find it difficult to continue to engage beyond the one course. I would recommend this training to pre-service, graduate and early-career educators, and even teachers who are relief teaching through retirement.
In March we are looking for a weekly contribution on recent professional development courses (completed in the last 3 months). You can write about online learning, accredited learning packages or other avenues of professional learning that you use to maintain accreditation.

By Wafula Buke
If you listened to elders and opinion leaders interrogate William Ruto's politics on Radio KASS FM, you may have concluded that: the greatest punishment for a liar is that he has to sustain the invention of selling lies or risk an even bigger punishment of never being believed when he changes his mind to speak the truth. The meeting heavily borrowed from Ruto's political inconsistencies and falsehoods.
1. "Don't be vague go to Hague."
Pursuant to recommendations that suspects of the 2007/8 post-election violence suspects be prosecuted, a debate ensued on whether that could be done locally or internationally through the International Criminal Court (ICC) proceedings. Ruto opted for Hague and urged people to shun vagueness on the matter. In his thinking proceedings would have started in 2090. He has since changed his mind over the matter.
2. "I have never seen an athlete competing for a 2nd position. A serious person goes for number one. Why are Franklin Bett and Henry Kosgey fighting to be number two?"
When Franklin Bett and Henry Kosgey jostled for the presidential running-mate position under Raila, Ruto was quick to mock the two senior leaders. Ruto's response to the changing political alliance dynamics in the recent past package present yet another contradiction: being running mate may be for serious people too, now that he has taken it up with Uhuru.
3. "Raila betrayed Kalenjins by evicting Kalenjins from Mau."
Mau evictions originated from a Cabinet policy decision to raise the national forest cover from 1.7% to 10% in 2003. This position was endorsed by the Cabinet in 2009. Ruto who was a member of that Cabinet did not protest and extended his endorsement through silence to Parliament. The last few years have seen Ruto delegate the Cabinet responsibility to one Raila as he basks in a convenient lethal silence about the CEO, President Mwai Kibaki.
4. "President Mwai Kibaki has given me Ksh 1b to resettle Mau evictees."
The statement was made in the days when Ruto had Kibaki's ear. We recall the famous joint meeting Kibaki had with Ruto in his backyard. He later fundraised for an additional Ksh 6 million for the resettlement project.
5. "I support the appointment of judicial officials by the president."
While the judiciary was identified as the cause of the contested elections of the 2007, Ruto decided to support the status quo by endorsing President Mwai Kibaki's unilateral controversial appointment of senior judicial officers. Appointments that were overturned by Parliament amounted to doing the groundwork for yet another contested election in 2012 perhaps with his candidate, Uhuru being the complainant and his constituents the bearers of the ugly cross.
6. "President Moi and KANU are gifts from God."
William Ruto refused to reinforce Bishop Alexander Muge, Tirop arap Kitur among others and instead spent his youth serving a false cause that would have landed him in jail if he had attempted to form URP then. One of the defining features of the G7 is that none of its members has any pride in their youth. They all did nothing or opposed the struggle for political change in Kenya. In fact they took swam along the currents of the day and amassed the wealth that propelled them to their current status as politicians.
7. "Don't blame me for crimes committed by my father."
By this statement, Uhuru Kenyatta got closest to disowning his father and simultaneously acknowledged historical injustices meted to Kenyans by his father. Ruto has more or less said the same thing about his mentor former President Moi. While the two share discomfort with their mentors, it is not without doubt that they are products of former benevolent dictators Kenyatta and Moi respectively. In short their lives have been a contradiction amounting to yet another lie.
8. "I have never seen a river Kipchoria (Nyando) and Chemosit (Sondu) flow towards the Mountain."
In the 2007 presidential elections, William Ruto favored Kalonzo Musyoka over Raila. Kalenjin elders, however, stood their ground and twisted him back to Raila's side. In the ensuing campaigns after the nominations, he made the above statement meant to be a pointer to the irrationality of backing a candidate from Mount Kenya region. Dr. Sally Kosgey began her address by telling the gathering that she went to the two rivers to check whether they have changed direction.
In the fullness of time and with the elections dust fully settled, Rift Valley may have nothing but shame that William Ruto won their allegiance. Dr Richard Martim Cheruyot of Kabianga University pointed at this when he lamentated at the meeting: "I thought we are supposed to learn from history, why are we ignoring history?"
The song that closed the meeting seemed to be a message to Ruto on his new direction for their electoral arrows: KOILEGEN OH! KOILEGEN TULUONON BO KOILEGEN MAMI CHIK, NE LONYEI TULUETAB KOILEGEN, MOLONYEI NEBO, IMANLONYEI NEBO LEMBECHEK, MAMI CHIK NE LONYEI, TULUETAB KOILEGEN (We shall not climb the mountain of koilegen again).

Japanese fashion retailer revealed it will open a global flagship store in Manila, the Philippines. Set to open this coming autumn/winter season, the store, spanning 4100 square meters, will be the largest of Uniqlo's 50 shops in the country. It will also be the largest in Southeast Asia. The new store opening highlights "the importance of the Philippines in Uniqlo's growth plans worldwide", according to a statement from the company.
"Having been a member of the local retail scene since 2012, we remain committed to contributing to the local community and to being an integral part of Manila's growth and future," said Satoshi Hatase, Chief Executive Officer for Uniqlo in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
The new global flagship store, which will feature large visual displays and "state-of-the-art design concepts", will sell Uniqlo's latest products and the full lineup of LifeWear for men, women, kids and babies. It will be located at Glorietta 5, Ayala Avenue, in Makati City.
Currently, Uniqlo has 14 global flagship stores worldwide. In the statement, the company said it only aims to open these stores in "key locations in cities of global prominence", such as New York's fifth avenue, London's Oxford street, Paris' opera district and Orchard Road in Singapore.

A Big Moment for the Aurora Airport
The Aurora Airport is a significant spot for the mid-valley area: it plays a role in the local economy much greater than its size. As other area airports have become more and more crowded, it is poised to do even more. But Aurora has been held back because it had neither a tower nor the staff to run it.
That is about to change.
On April 23rd I was able to help break ground on a new tower, which should be ready to move into by the end of the year. This was the culmination of a lot of work by the community and was a high priority for me in Congress. We negotiated a fair deal: if the airport built the tower, the FAA would provide the staff to run it, allowing it to expand operations and play an even more significant role in generating local jobs and economic activity. There were some twists and turns in the process: at one point it appeared that the FAA might back out of their part of the bargain. But my staff and I worked hard to get things back on track and hold the federal government to their word. You can see the result in the short video we made of the ground breaking.
It is important to mention that the expansion of the Aurora Airports' mission will protect existing high-value agricultural land. This is a nice win for the community and the local economy. It's also a great example of what you can accomplish by working together – building partnerships between local and federal government and reaching across party lines to get something good done for Oregon.

Golf trophies have become an integral piece to a challenging game. Awarding golf achievements began with the 'Champion's Belt,' which was given to the British Open winner through the 1860s, then replaced by the 'Claret Jug' in 1870, then eventually onto today's grand prize, the 'Green Jacket,' secured by the winner of the Masters tournament. Golf trophies symbolize the very best in a sport that requires an equal share of mental and physical prowess to be a true champion.
Golf awards are available in many forms – from crystal trophies, to those made of metal or acrylics. Earning these trophies tell the story of how the golfer arose to the challenge, and prevailed. An engraved crystal trophy is a common prize for the overall winner, while a small metal or acrylic golf trophy might recognize a different tournament achievement such as longest drive or putt. Also, virtually every golf organization presents golf trophies to players who achieve the illustrious hole-in-one.
Professionals on the PGA or LPGA Tour define these achievement awards as recognizing the proficiency and consistency it takes to keep atop the leader boards throughout a complete golfing season. The 'Vardon Trophy,' named after British links legend Harry Vardon, is earned by the pro with the lowest average score per round. A newer season-ending award is the 'Charles Schwab Cup,' which actually celebrates a successful earning year for the winner. For the women's league there is the 'Vare Trophy.' This prestigious golf trophy not only honors season-long consistency, but it also has a prominent role in deciding who gets into the LPGA Hall of Fame.
The intent of golfing awards and prizes, of course, is to recognize outstanding accomplishments. They can also be quite comical given some golf trophies are awarded for feats such as "bringing up the rear," or "most water balls." Regardless of the reason it's won, an engraved trophy will be appreciated and proudly displayed by any golfer who earns it. The same holds true for other golf related prizes made of other materials, including bronze, which can be a great award for other top finishers.
Crystal trophies have become very popular items in the gifts and awards industry. They have been selected by many golf resorts as a main award for event winners. Crystal trophies, by comparison, seem to grab the most attention of observers as well. Many of them are handcrafted by experts who manage to bring out the crystal's inherent beauty, while making sure the intent of the award remains the prominent factor. Golf trophies add to the gratification of a sport that is seldom conquered and never truly mastered.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
I have an aversion to predictability.
It's not that I don't like routine so much as that I don't like knowing what's about to happen.
A lot of people consider pumpkin a "seasonal flavor" but I feel like people should just use it all year long.
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with a Cashew Crust
Ingredients- Crust
1 cup cashews, unsalted
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tb unbleached all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
5 tb vegan margarine, cubed
Combine cashew and flax seed meal in food processor, and blend for a full minute, until cashew are completely broken down. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cloves, and pulse to combine. Add in margarine and pulse until mixture comes together in a crumby dough.
Press into bottom of 8″ by 8″ pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
Ingredients- Filling
1 package extra firm tofu, 12.3 ounces
8 ounces soy cream cheese
1 package organic vanilla pudding mix, 3.8 ounces
1 can pumpkin puree, 15 ounces
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
Combine tofu, cream cheese, and pudding mix in food processor, and blend until smooth. Scoop half of mixture into separate bowl and set aside. In processor, add in pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger, and pulse until smooth.
Pour pumpkin mixture over cooled crust, and spread evenly. Next add separate bowl of cheesecake batter over pumpkin, and swirl with a knife to marble to filling. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool on wire rack before transferring to fridge for at least 3 hours or freezer for an hour and fridge for 30 minutes. Cut into squares- makes about 9 bars.
A quick shout out to my dog Sophie- she's going in for some knee surgery tomorrow.

"Another story by way of comparison He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches." (Matt. 13:30-32 Amplified Bible)
So, just how little is that mustard seed? "A grain of mustard seed is really small. One grain is 1 or 2 millimeters in size. That's tiny. A mountain, on the other hand, is huge. I took a look at one mountain in Israel, Mount Hermon. Mount Hermon is in the Galilee so Jesus' disciples would have been familiar with it. Mount Hermon is 1,804 meters higher than the land around it and 2, 814 meters above sea level."
Jesus goes on that if we have a tiny, itsy-bitsy amount of faith – 1-2 millimeters of faith – we can speak to mountains, tell them to move, and they will move. So why don't we have that much faith? And how does Jesus define faith?
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." (Hebrews 11:1 The Living Bible) (emphasis mine) I love this verse. We have the confident assurance that something we've prayed about will happen.
So again, I ask the question – why don't we have that much faith? I think there can be several, perhaps many, answers to that question. The one I think is most common is when you've prayed for something for a very long time but your prayer has not been answered. You've decided that God is not going to answer your prayer so why bother. But the Bible says "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me." (Psalm 138a:8 KJV) In other words, He will answer my prayers. As I've said many times in previous blogs, our timing and His timing are not the same. Yet, His timing is perfect. He knows our future so he knows when the best time is to answer our prayers.
Be encouraged today. Go out and plant your mustard seed – your tiny, itsy-bitsy amount of faith and trust God that He will answer – in His time.

Spanx In Power Line Super Higher Power – My Review.
Spanx Higher Power was the first item of shapewear I ever bought. I was going to a wedding and wanted to wear a pair of white trousers. The waistband was far too tight and the idea of spending the day in them eating a sit down meal and still being chirpy was upsettting. I bought a pair of Spanx Higher Power as my friend suggested I try them. Bingo schmingo they worked! My waistband was far looser and I felt much more comfortable in my trousers – until I ate and drank too much that is! My original pair was bought in the early 2000s and since then Spanx have tweaked the design. This version is called Spanx Super Higher Power and is part of the Spanx In Power Line range. I have 2 pairs of these in my cupboard!
My Not So Glamorous Photos!
(Click on the photos to enlarge them)
My Spanx Super Higher Power arrived in a neat, bright pink packet (small enough to fit through a letterbox if you are getting them delivered). They have the usual slim Spanx beauties on the front who set my teeth on edge a little!
This is what they look like out of the outer packaging. These are a brand new pair but they look quite crumpled. According to Spanx because the material is so stretchy this is the best they can make them look! Not quite like the swish marketing photos…
The Spanx Higher Power are quite long in the body which makes them look at bit odd when they are laid out flat.
There is a V section on the front that is a strong tummy control panel. There is a deep, flat sewn seam running down the centre too. Don't worry too much about the seam as once it is on your body it stretches out and should lie pretty flat.
The waistband is sort of gathered and wobbly looking. This is so it can mold itself to your ribcage so it can stay in place.
Like the front, the back has the deep seam which will flatten out once it is on your body. The fabric is supposed to give your bum a bit of a lift and shape but I couldn't see how that works from the material! However, I do agree they give your bum a good shape when they are on – I have 2 pairs of these and can vouch that this works. Not massively, but it does work.
The material on the legs is a very soft, double layered hosiery type fabric. It is lovely but do be careful not to snag your nails or jewellery on it. The ends of the legs are non binded and so they should lie flat on your thighs without creating a ridge where they finish.
The gusset is made from cotton and is opening but without any fastenings. There is a flap, sort of like a mans y-front that you can open when you need the loo.
Rather than ending on a picture of a gusset I thought I'd show you the funky insert that comes with the Spanx Higher Power. Not really relevant to the review, but I quite like it!
What I Like About The Spanx Higher Power.
- They are high waisted so they help to get tight waistbands to fit more comfortably.
- They cover over your waist so you don't get a big roll of fat where they finish.
- They stay in place without any additional straps.
- You don't have to pull them down to use the loo as they have an opening gusset.
- The legs don't have end bindings on them so they lie pretty much flat on your thighs.
- They are nice and long in the body so if you are fairly tall they will fit you nicely.
- They are very light to wear so you don't feel like a hot stuffed sausage!
What I Don't Like About The Spanx Higher Power.
- I'm not convinced by the opening gusset. Your "aim" has to be good and to be blunt, since having a baby, mine isn't. I tend to wressle out of them if I can to use the loo.
- If I haven't got them pulled up high enough, the top band (that is supposed to stay in place) rolls down. This also happens if I do prolonged, vigorous dancing (doesn't happen too often these days).
- The flat sewn seams are still seams and will show through some tight or flimsy clothes.
- The extended body bit is really quite long – fine for me but not if you are short like my Mum.
- The legs are quite long so not suitable to be worn with short skirts.
- They are supposed to give your "rear a lift". They do give it a good shape but I'm not sure if "a lift" is overstating it.
How To Put On At Pair Of Spanx Higher Power.
Sit down. Roll up the first leg like you are putting on a pair of tights. Put your foot in and pull it up to your thighs. Do the same for the second leg. Now stand up. You need to "seat" the bum so the seam runs down the centre and they are pulled up enough to sit comfortably. Roll the rest of the body up until the waistband is sitting on your ribcage. Where it ends up depends on how tall you are. It should be somewhere between your mid ribs and just below your bra. Now roll down the thighs.
Time for a quick and vigorous shapewear shuffle. Wiggle, jiggle and move around wildly so that the Spanx come to rest in a natural place. This will save you a lot of discomfort later on. Now have a rest, a little drink, put on a fan if you are too hot. Once chilled, you can get dressed.

Jonathan Toews is hoping to return and Dave Bolland and Andrew Brunette will be ready to go when the Chicago Blackhawks play the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 1 of their first-round series on Thursday.
Toews has been practicing with the Blackhawks for quite awhile now and has passed all the necessary protocol. But a big sign he could return for Game 1 came at Monday's practice, when Toews was centering the top line with Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa -- with Kane on the left side -- and working with the No. 1 power-play unit. Toews was feeling confident about possibly returning Thursday but didn't give a true yes to it. He has missed the last 22 games, including the final two regular-season ones when he went on the trip and had hoped to play.
"We wanted to err on the cautious side by me not playing (at the end of the regular season). I'm feeling more confident that Thursday might be the day but well see when that time comes," said Toews. "Whenever I come back, Ill definitely want to keep it simple and go out and play a gritty game. The key is not trying to do too much."
When he does come back, the Blackhawks will try that group with Kane at left wing. It will be another adjustment for Kane, who has played that spot sparingly in his career.
"Its fine. Ill get used to it sooner or later. Its good we have a few practices to get adjusted," he said. "We just want to play with the puck and work hard. Especially with the skill we have, it seems like it could be a fun line."
Bolland, who missed the Blackhawks final two regular-season games, said he was just healing "bumps and bruises" down the stretch. He was back centering the checking line with Bryan Bickell and Andrew Shaw on Monday. Andrew Brunette, who's coming off a foot injury, was on the fourth line with Jamal Mayers and Brandon Bollig.

Quip's An Alternative to Google Docs and Slack
Nathan S.
Kommentare: I tested Quip as part of a team effort to find a collaborative tool that we could incorporate across the board. Over the 6 month period that I tested it, I found that while it was functional for the most part as a lot of things, it failed in key areas that we would need it to work including handling large spreadsheets, edit history and connectivity issues. However the price and slow functionality when it comes to bigger documents/spreadsheets leaves much to be desired and as such, it may not be ideal for anyone but bigger organizations that want to cut off multiple communication channels and document tools. Overall Quip is a good alternative to Slack & Google Apps. However it leaves some things to be desired in the looks and function department.
Vorteile: Quip is a great collaboration tool that is something similar to Slack, Google Docs and Google Sheets all wrapped up into one. My favorite feature is the collaboration tool which allows you to edit documents and discuss them in real time with other users. You can send messages to other users and Quip has a nice way of letting you know whether a user is online or offline. The messages can be sent to individuals and within a group chat setting. When commenting on spreadsheets, you can annotate cell by cell which is something helpful especially if you are reviewing spreadsheets with a lot of information. File management is a charm. You can easily upload shared documents to folders and limit who can see the documents as well as who can edit/view the documents. One gripe about collaboration apps that I have had in the past is the amount of notifications you get if you have multiple people working on documents/projects etc. Quip solves this by giving you the option to prioritize the notifications you want to this. You can also @ specific people which makes communication easier. Similar to Slack, there is an option to notify everyone with an @everyone option to send messages to a whole team. Quip integrates well with Salesforce, so if you are using Salesforce, this is a good option.
If you want to test Quip before deciding, you may not like the requirement for a work email.
You need constant internet connectivity to make Quip work, if you find yourself in a place where there is no internet, you may be out of luck to use Quip. While Quip is good for communication, editing and collaborating on big spreadsheets slows the app down and you can find it slows down performance. You are better doing light to medium size documents/spreadsheets. When collaborating documents, versioning and edit history are important. It gets hard to revert to an older copy of a document and it can create some confusion if there are a lot of people looking at the same document.

Easy to use, great for collaborating, aimed at younger professionals
Tracy D.
Kommentare: Collaboration, simple cloud-based tool, integration with Salesforce
Vorteile: It's super easy to start using and is great for shared documents where you need to have multiple people providing input and updates. I like that two people can be simultaneously working on a document without a problem.
Nachteile: My annoyances with this software stem from the features - what is there and what is not there. One of my biggest gripes is that Quip believes it is "distracting and not necessary" (their words) to have the option of changing the color of the text. I disagree. As a business professional for the past 25 years, I can tell you there are instances where you need to color code text. I recently had a huge, very collaborative project that I wanted to base out of Quip and THE ONLY REASON I couldn't use Quip was because it had to be color coded and Quip doesn't do that. I've tried appealing to them but so far, no luck. Yet, one apparently "necessary" feature is that you can add an emoji or animated meme to your comments within a document. Really? And that is more important for business communications? I'm guessing this software is being created by a bunch of millennials. I don't begrudge millenials or the "fun" elements that are included, but give me the useful business functionality we have all become accustomed to over the past couple of decades if you truly want to compete for our word processing and spreadsheet needs.

An amazing platform to track your ideas
Nikhita K.
Kommentare: We use quip to track our updates, design documents etc and it has proven to be a really powerful platform for the same.
1. I love quip as its the only good version controlled platform for taking notes that I have found in my industry experience of over 5 years.
2. Its easy to create public/private versions. I could easily create documents that are public (i.e. outside the firm) and private to me.
3. It is so easy to mark your favorite folders and share it across teams.
4. Its fast. I have found Google Docs to be a bit slower than quip.
5. You could easily import the content into a wiki or a word document with all the formatting intact.
6. You can create an excel sheet (or multiple sheets) in quip itself.
7. Onboarding and gettting used to the platform is really easy.
1. It behaves odd when creating tables and adding pictures (like indentation sometimes screws up).
2. If you are looking for a platform to create animated documents, quip might not be your friend. It supports basic data representation objects like tables, pictures, worksheets but if you want audio etc, you want to goto powerpoint.

Best docu-sharing tool for a team
Lisa B.
Kommentare: I would highly recommend Quip to any team needing to collaborate on a lot of documents. It keeps us extremely organized, we love the workflow features, and communication tools. We have tried using Google Drive in the past and have STRUGGLED with the shotty navigation and lack of tagging/communication options. Quip is exponentially better than any other docu-sharing tool we've used!
Vorteile: Simple user interface and easy to onboard my employees. Quip keeps us very organized and is great for tagging each other in comments and collaborating in single documents. They have a number of workflow features that we've used several times to help manage project timelines, etc. I also love that I can share links to documents so clients can pop in and review without having to be added as a full user. We've reached out to customer support several times, especially during the onboarding process, and they have always been extremely helpful.
Nachteile: Notifications are a little overwhelming and difficult to manage. Very rarely we've had issues with pages not updating or saving, especially when there is a lot of text that has been copy/pasted.

Good Wiki Alternative
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: I really like Quip. Having used Confluence and various Wikis, I think this is about as good as it gets. There's room for improvement for sure, but 90% of the time it does what I want and I'm able to communicate what I want to colleagues.
- Good for documentation
- It creates links to any part of the document for easy referencing
- The WYSIWYG editor works pretty well
- The keyboard shortcuts are good
- Embedded spreadsheets are neat (though I don't find I use them that often)
- Comment functionality really neat, including the ability to "resolve" comments.
- Edit History works well
- I really hate how embedded images work. It's bordering on impossible to make it look how you want and you'll have to compromise on it looking sort of crappy
- The search could use some help
- The auto numbered or unordered list stuff is annoying as hell and takes some finagling to get around. If you have a "1." then an image, if you type "2." it'll change it into "1." because it thinks you're starting a new numbered list because of the image. Really annoying.
- When I look at the Recently Updated list and click "Mark All As Read" why don't all of them become unread? This annoys me more than it should, but why don't they all get makred Read?!

Powerful collaboration tool
Neeraj H.
Kommentare: Productivity, Collaboration, Central repository.
Vorteile: I use quip mainly to organize my work and collaborate with my team members in documenting feature requirements. Product feature requirements are dynamic - in that, they change often. The ability to have one central location from where all of us can access it makes this a huge time saver for all. It also prevents unnecessary emails as users can chat / comment directly on quip. It also has the ability to create private folders which I use to store work in progress ideas and the ability to restrict access to some files / folders to specific people.
Nachteile: Quip requires the internet and often I forget that I have to be connected to save changes. Although it has the ability to add spreadsheets, I don't use it much. Also, have noticed when I copy paste code into code-blocks, the pasted content does not fit within the default page-width, but creates a horizontal scroll-bar within the code-block. It's a bit of an irritant to correct that every time.

Quip - a super nice collaboration tool
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: To be simple, we really like this easy to use collaboration tool.
Vorteile: So easy to collaboration with colleagues, and for family. Get everything together rather than individual files everywhere. "Word", "Excel", "Powerpoint" lite versions, so easy to use, whatever you want. With google account integration. No hassle for account management. You certainly don't expect it to be super powerful, but it is good enough for our purpose.
Nachteile: Logic of files arrangement a bit confusing. If you are coming from traditional file system. You may need sometime to get used to it. Moving files around is not that easy, especially if you want to manage multiple files at the same time. It used to be annoying that recent editing panel shows up every time you open the application. Recent updates fix this problem.

Quip is my one app to create, organize, and collaborate in almost all kinds of documents.
Jeffry T.
Vorteile: It's very easy to collaborate on a document. You just add people to it. All the changes are logged so you can see all the things that happen to your document. You can also create all kinds of documents on Quip, from the everyday text document and spreadsheet to the specific kanban board and project tracker (with a little help from Live apps).
Nachteile: The app lacks the ability to add tags - which will be very helpful to further organize the documents. It also doesn't hurt to add the font-customization feature so that users can set the look and feel of the working environment to their liking.

Quit passing email and documents around!
Michael H.
Kommentare: I have a small staff who needs to work together at various times, and usually not in person. We've tried a handful of options (dreaded e-mail chains, Google drive, slack, OneNote, Trello), with varying degrees of success. But when you get right down to it, the majority of our conversations where revolving around documents. With Quip, that is exactly how this is designed. It is a live document centered experience with the ability to comment, discuss, and update to drive to agreed upon results. Other packages we would lose our chain of conversation, or a struggle to find the agenda, spreadsheet, plan. Here, these two elements tie together in one spot. End result for me? Instead of feeling like I was beating on people to keep moving, and often their secretary to help them find what I was talking about, now we work together with faster results and a whole lot less fuss and muss.
Vorteile: VERY intuitive interface. My staff is resistant to change, and they picked up on this software immediately. Looks good on the web, great on my desktop, and awesome on my phone! Customer support is astounding. Hit the chat window and someone is there immediately.
Nachteile: Very minor detail here - more of a feature enhancement request. It would be great to tie in some sort of task management, e.g. something with due dates that alert you.

Great way to collaborate
Joby I.
Very easy document creation that live updates to all users as you create them. No more messing around uploading and downloading documents.
Documents have lots of options like spreadsheets tables charts, images and other apps that can be inserted into any doc. You can also manage folders and share them with specific groups of people, so you might have a folder for employees which has all your procedures on it and a separate knowledge base for customers.
For free its hard to find a better product
Nachteile: I would like to see the ability to copy documents between different quip accounts. I'd also like to see direct connections to excel of numbers, to give some more power to some of the features

Good for smaller groups.
Verifizierter Rezensent
Vorteile: I love how Quip allows you to create both shared and private documents. The language feature is really great (i.e. it is completely functional in Spanish). The folder system is really helpful and is easy to be organized, even with different groups. You can comment on the documents, tag people, and even comment on photos. All changes are tracked.
Nachteile: Once we got to be a much bigger group, it became less functional because you cannot directly access Google Suite with it. We needed to expand more, and Quip didn't allow for that.

Google Docs on Steroids
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: We have rolled Quip out to multiple departments and teams over the past few years.
Vorteile: Continuing improvement in the feature set. The software was good when we started using it 2.5 years ago. However, the improvements continually made month after month have really made the product shine. We really get use out of the full index/searching capability.
Nachteile: A few basic things that would mimmic Excel functionality, like the ability to freeze columns on mobile, or hide rows/columns on both the desktop and mobile.

Quip and Quip for Salesforce
Desirae S.
Kommentare: Quip is a great addition for any company with its easy to use style of collaboration and flexibility in security and structure. I'd like to see a lot more training videos on how to leverage Quip for things like Project Management to plant those seeds and help companies grow and realize the full potential of this application.
Vorteile: Salesforce recently added Quip to it's suite of products and we couldn't be happier. We have been searching for a project management application as well as a solution for sharing documents and data while not housing inside our Salesforce org, due to storage limitations. We see Quip as being that all in one application that can solve many of these needs in our organization. It is powerful, flexible, offers free and paid apps like a project management app and allows for flexibility with security of files and folders. Not to mention the live chat and collaboration features it offers. A great all around solution for anything you can't already solve in your standard Salesforce Org.
Nachteile: I have requested several specific demos from our sales team so that we can more fully realize what Quip can do to meet some of our more basic needs. We've been given links to sales demos which don't address our specific needs. Once we get an idea on what we can do with it and how, it will drive more ideas and creativity for our team, we're just having a hard time getting started.

Great Collaboration Tool - With Room to Improve
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: Quip is relatively new. So they keep adding new features. The spreadsheet feature could absolutely benefit from some Excel functionalities. The coding part could have auto-indentation, because it can get frustrating quickly.
The UI is very simple and navigable.
I love that you can have a chat room, private and group chats. Tagging someone and for sending a notification (either in document or in chat) is a very fast tool for communication.
I love the checklist and Kanban features for planning.
There is an updates page that shows you all the updated documents.
Sometimes, my document doesn't get updated even though a collaborator has made a change. Then, I need to update the page.
When reorganizing a folder, the UI gets updated each time you drag an item in the middle and other items get shifted. This process is slow.

All in one platform to manage the entire documents and other tools in a single platform
Ebin E.
Kommentare: We have increased the productivity of our employees and thus our core goal of high productivity is achieved.
Vorteile: We really like Quip the way it is built as the platform itself acts as a source to maintiain all the tools like docs, chat etc. in this single app itself. Quip is the best way to manage all the different tabs under one window. The major hike is with the single window system where all the needed plugins are added and can be managed. Quip is the one and only platform to simplify the user burden of maintaining multiple apps and multiple windows.
Nachteile: The UI is very hard to understand at the first time and for newcomers.

Review for Quip
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: I am enjoying this tool, and Quip has managed to stand out in this heavily competitive field of online collaboration.
Vorteile: Quip UI is really smooth, and feels new! it has a good functionality to provide the revision history for the document, which I think is very useful. When multiple folks are simultaneously editing the same document, the revision history for each line provides a very nice view of who changed what. Additionally, Quip has a chat tool embedded in its UI. I use this often to communicate with other folks who are working on the same project.
I dont have a strong dislike for any of the features, but perhaps one point was it takes significant time for a new guy to get to to speed with the tool and understand all the intricate details.
Perhaps the on boarding proceed can be better

Best collaboration software i've used!
Justin H.
Vorteile: Quip makes it incredibly easy to collaborate with others on shared document writing. I work with a number of people who may not easily adopt new software, and Quip's simple and familiar interface allow them to begin working quickly and without fear. I lead teams of 15+ people working on the same projects, and can easily monitor progress and who is editing what!
Nachteile: I have very few cons for Quip - most of which would be a desire to see more features, although this would likely come with the trade off that it would become more complex. No real complaints for me.

Quip review
Verifizierter Rezensent
Kommentare: In my experience, I've really enjoyed using Quip to easily house documents and spreadsheets with a friendly and easy to use interface.
Vorteile: Quip is a great tool to use for collaborative work. Often times, my team would have to share multiple versions of the same spreadsheet, but with Quip, you can see real-time updates from colleagues and communicate all within the app.
Nachteile: While it is great for collaboration, the tool becomes glitchy when it contains a large amount of data. There have been instances of lost work due to inability to save changes. If you are working with large spreadsheets with multiple tabs, it could become too much for the tool to handle.

Fantastic for Small Project Management and Collaboration
Yana O.
Quip provides unique ability to create, edit and share highly customized documents/spreadsheets. Quip doesn't have a structure to follow for project management, so it requires a lot of upfront time commitment and development. However, after creating the needed documents and templates, it is the perfect tool.
Specifically, great to use for mind-mapping, checklists, embedded spreadsheets/tracking.
Vorteile: Integrates with Google Drive, version control, file attachment, collaboration, custom templates, slack integration, flexibility, permissions control, great interface, easy to use
Nachteile: No internal task delegation/planning features, no report building

I would like the old Quip back!
Alvaro V.
Vorteile: Quip does a great job at being a very easy-to-use app when it comes to having collaborative documents to share for work. I like how different team members can contribute and leave their input simultaneously with other coworkers.
Nachteile: The new UI makes things and tools hard to find. With an extremely clean look where the color white is so predominant, buttons are difficult to see and getting your work done may be more difficult.

The best cloud based online collaborative writing tool
Patrick S.
Kommentare: Quip is my team's go to utility for writing documents together. Google Docs is probably one of the most well known cloud based document editors that facilitates collaboration between team members. However, its collaborative elements always seemed tacked on. You can tell that Quip was built to be a team writing tool from the ground up.
Vorteile: Ease of use. It's "stupid easy" to invite people to collaborate on a document. Comments are a breeze. Paragraphs auto-lock when you are editing them to avoid confusion. You can track your team members usage.
Nachteile: I wish that reviewing, version control, and security were stronger. The inclusion of approval processes and flows would be extremely welcome.

Unlimited Free Trial
Jess R.
Kommentare: Unlimited free trial and great for text-based collaboration
Vorteile: Quip allows you to try their platform for free as long as you need, so you can really figure out whether or not it works for your team before you invest in the paid version. Compared to other products that have a time-limited free trial, Quip offers a much better evaluation period.
Nachteile: The ability to upload images and PDFs is limited at best. It's easier to upload a photo album on Facebook and share it with your team than it is to do the same thing in Quip. Great for text based documents, however.

- Everybody gets at least one. Unlike many modern comedians, Dangerfield was more than willing to let other people be funny in his movies.
- The 'Tall & Fat' commercial shown at the beginning, mercilessly mocking the entire concept of body image. With Thornton closing "If you wanna look thin, you hang around fat people!"Thornton (turning off the ad): So whadda ya think, Lou?
Lou: You could lose a few pounds.
Thornton (shaking his head): I gotta hire bigger actors...
- The entire dinner party sequence, early in the film.
- In particular, when Thornton's wife introduces him to a couple friends; Thornton is busy eating a sandwich, but reluctantly agrees to shake their hands. But not before spitting out some food onto the hand he's shaking them with first.
- "You're perfect!"
- When Thornton first meets with Dean Martin, Thornton has his feet on the chair next to him. Martin asks him, "Comfy?" Thornton then moves his feet from the chair to Martin's desk.
- Thornton: "I hereby dedicate this building to... myself!" (shovels dirt into Barbay's nearby car)
- Thornton, to the college store clerk: "I'd like to tame YOUR shrew!"
- Thornton totally schooling Dr. Barbay on his first day:Barbay: So, let's start by looking at construction costs of our new factory.
Melon: What's the product?
Barbay: That is immaterial for the purposes of our discussion here but if it makes you happy, let's say we're making tape recorders.
Melon: Tape recorders? Are you kiddin'? The Japs will kill us on the labor costs.
Barbay: OK, fine. Then let's just say they're widgets.
Melon: (baffled) What's a widget?
Barbay: (hoping he's getting the hint) It's a fictional product. It doesn't matter.
Melon: Doesn't matter. Tell that to the bank.
Barbay: On the board, you will see a cost analysis for construction of a square-foot facility, which will encompass both factory and office space, and is fully serviced by all utilities, a railroad spur line, and a four-bay shipping dock.
Melon: Hold it, hold it. Why build? You're better off leasing at a buck and a quarter, a buck and a half a square foot. Take your down payment and put it into CDs, or something else you can roll over every couple of months.
Barbay: Thank you, Mr. Melon, but we'll be concentrating on finance a little later in the term. For the time being, let's just concentrate on the construction figures, shall we? You'll see the final bottom line requires the factoring in of not just the material and construction costs, but also the architects' fees and the cost of land servicing.
Melon: Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.
Barbay: Oh, really? Like what, for instance?
Melon: First of all, you have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters. And if you plan on using any cement in this building, I'm sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with you, and that'll cost you. Don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. There's the long-term costs, such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business, but I assure you it's not the Boy Scouts.
Barbay: That will be quite enough, Mr. Melon. Maybe bribes and kickbacks and Mafia payoffs are how you do business, but they are not part of the legitimate business world. And they're certainly not part of anything I'm teaching in this class. Do I make myself clear?
Melon: Sorry. Just trying to help, that's all.
Bombay: Now, notwithstanding Mr. Melon's input... the next question for us is: Where to build our factory?
Melon: How about Fantasyland?
(class laughs)
- In Professor Terguson's class, when Terguson (Sam Kinison) chews out and screams at someone who answers his question about the Vietnam War:Thornton: Hey professor, take it easy, these kids, they were in grade school at the time! And me, heh, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover!
Terguson: Weeeeell, I didn't know you wanted to join the discussion, Mr. Helper! But since you want to help, maybe you can help me. You remember that thing we had about thirty years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? (rips a desk out) Then take the fucking wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the fucking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? SAY IT! SAY IT!
Thornton: All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a pussy wimp to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!
Terguson: (creepy smile) Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.
Thornton: (chuckles) Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what, I have no idea.
- Right after Sam Kinison does his trademark screaming, all of the extras behind Dangerfield are trying (with varying degrees of success) to avoid Corpsing. Before that, if you look at the back while Professor Terguson is ranting at the student, Dangerfield is having to cover his mouth to avoid corpsing as well.
- "I know you! You're that guy from those obnoxious commercials! You're 'Tall & Fat'!" "Oh, yeah? Well, you're short and ugly. Gimme back that pen!"
- "Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?"
- Thornton walking through the college campus wearing a bathrobe.Jason: They have lockers, you could've changed here.
Thornton: I don't change in front of guys. I mean, the next thing you know, you're showering with the fellas. And the next thing you know, you're pinned to a sophomore named Chip.
- At swim class, Jason does a nice flip into a dive, which gets no reaction from anybody. Soon after, Thornton does a simple front flip into a pencil dive; when he surfaces, everyone is applauding and cheering. Dude, Where's My Respect? indeed.
- "I never get physical; I get upset. And when I get upset... (indicates Lou) He gets physical." (Lou turns to the jocks and crushes a metal napkin holder with his hand)
- The Throw It In! moment with Jason cracking up at his dad's secretary. Keith Gordon's Corpsing isn't just him suppressing a few giggles, no; he's barely hiding the fact that he's practically in tears from laughing so hard.
- The fake-out where it looks like Thornton is receiving oral sex from Diane, but the camera pulls back to reveal he's just getting a leg massage in his dorm room.
- Thornton hires Kurt Vonnegut to write his paper on Vonnegut... and the paper gets an F. Also notable for an Offscreen Moment of Funny: "Fuck me? Well, fuck you!" That's right, Kurt Vonnegut dropped an F-bomb on Thornton over the phone, and it's a shame the audience never gets to hear it.
- Outside the dorms, Barbay is appalled at the midterms party, and a college guy (who's very drunk) approaches him:Guy: (slurring) The Melon man is throwing the greatest party of all time! The whole world is there. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life! (moments later, the guy vomits nearby)
- The cops arrive at the dorms, and Barbay is grateful that somebody besides him has a sense of outrage. But it turns out the cops are just there to deliver cases of beer.
- "What's a bath without bubbles? Hey Bubbles, get over here!"
- (pouring champagne) Babe: "Say when..." Thornton: "Right after this drink!"
- "Is the work you turned in your own?" "...I can't lie to you, Dean Martin. (Beat) ...Yes it is."
- Dr. Barbay's portion of the exam for Thornton:Barbay: I have only one question for Mr. Melon...

Barbay: ...In 27 parts.
Thornton: (under breath) I'd like to break him into 27 parts.
Barbay: Excuse me?
Thornton: No, nothin', nothin'.
Barbay: Discuss the foundations of modern global business systems. Part one: Define and differentiate the three economic philosophies of capitalism, socialism, and communism, as pertains to: A) Management fundamentals; B) organizing and staffing; C) labor management; and D) production and operations. (flips to next notecard) Part two... Are you getting all this, Mr. Melon?
Thornton: Yeah. It's a piece of cake.
Thornton: (exhausted) In response to Roman numeral 27, section three, part two, of subset D of the question, the answer is...

Martin: Mr. Melon?
(Thornton is glassy-eyed and staring into space)
Martin: Mr. Melon?
Terguson: Hey, relax. This man's been put under a lot of pressure. Let's take it easy on him. Say it! SAY IT!!!
Thornton: The answer is... four??
Barbay: (opens his mouth, ready to say "wrong", but is disappointed that his answer is...) ...Right.
- When it comes time for Diane's test, Thornton is ready to throw in the towel: "Hold it, that's it. I can't take it no more. I feel like I just gave birth... to an accountant!"
- When Chas fakes a cramp in the climax:Chas: (to coach) I have got a really bad cramp. I've been having bad cramps all week.
Jason: It's probably menstrual.
Chas: Screw you, Melon!

From the desk of Natanya Rubin
It's 12:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, and my assistant project manager and I are wearing matching XXL Kideation tee shirts and borrowed shorts, waiting for our work clothes to come out of the dryer. This is my first day working out of our temporary Doyle Research headquarters in a private residence in the Chicago suburbs, a stop-over as we transition to a co-working space downtown, and I must say, it's started with a bang, or rather, a downpour.
Our moderators are used to working in all kinds of locations, and under all kinds of conditions. When they're on the road, a hotel room, focus group facility, coffee shop, classroom, or living room can all serve as a mobile qualitative office. For the field team, the transition from the office to an offsite location has been full of unexpected benefits. Being caught in a thunderstorm during a lunchtime walk and returning to the office soaking wet would normally be an uncomfortable experience, but not if your office comes equipped with a dryer!
Of course, there are challenges to setting up in temporary quarters as well. Our IT department has been working non-stop to make sure we're all connected to the resources we need to do our jobs wherever we are. Shared spaces create opportunities for collaboration, but also raise the eternal question, Where am I going to take this 90 minute conference call without making my colleagues want to kill me?
Our sojourn at DRA North will be brief, but I'll miss it when we move into our new, more traditional office space. This time has been a lesson in flexibility, creative problem solving, and, in nice weather, precisely how many feet of firewire cord is needed to take the conference phone out to the back deck.

Foodie Trek to Peoria
Sample the culinary talent of Josh Adams at June
It takes three hours to drive the 160 miles from Chicago to Peoria (Peoria Heights, to be exact). But all serious foodies within striking distance should experience the culinary talent of Josh Adams, the James Beard–nominated chef/owner of June. The pleasant, if somewhat austere, dining room is in a strip mall; your sweet waitress might be a college student; and the diners dress way casual. That said, leave your foodie 'tude at the door because the cooking at June is fab. From sorbetlike carrot-ginger soup to ultratender skirt steak sous vide, there's pure pleasure in every bite. I particularly loved the Laughing Bird shrimp tossed with house-made orecchiette (pictured here), made all the more special by a garnish of pea tendrils picked fresh from the flat in the open kitchen. 4450 N. Prospect Rd., Peoria Heights; 309-682-5863.

text: MOVIES In the Pit 8:00 PM PST 2/12/2007 by Sheri Linden , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty TWITTER Empty Kino InternationalCentering on a construction crew for a mammoth freeway project in Mexico City, "In the Pit" (En el hoyo) is a documentary of unexpected beauty. Director Juan Carlos Rulfo finds gritty aesthetic power in the music of bulldozers and jackhammers, the textures of concrete and rock. Without contrivance or agenda, he also expresses something timeless and transcendent in the scope of the undertaking and in the stories of the workers. The film, which opened in early February in New York, recently screened at the Palm Springs International Film Festival after reaping awards last year at Buenos Aires, Karlovy Vary and Sundance. The second deck of the Periferico freeway is the longest elevated structure in the Mexican capital's history. Beginning in 2003, Rulfo spent more than two years with one group among the many men building the extension. He also serves as cinematographer, and along with the hard-hat workers, he descends into the dirt and dust of excavation pits and climbs onto girders rising above the rush of traffic.A driver, inconvenienced by the construction site, suggests the builders should work 24 hours a day. "There are no good presidents in the world," one crew member observes. "Everyone has to work to death." But though most of the men building the second deck will never use it, the docu's focus is not class inequity. It's a meditation on our relationship with work. Shorty, who does "a little bit of everything," is philosophical: "You only have to know how to enjoy (life)." And death is never far. A female security guard believes that traffic casualties on the freeway are the devil's due and that their souls become a part of the structure. When Rulfo caps the intimate film with an exhilarating six-minute aerial shot traveling the considerable length of the Periferico project, it's clear that much more than steel and concrete has gone into its construction.

Libyan protesters occupy several cities, launch counter-attacks on police, military
Dictator rumored to have fled country for Venezuela, but details remain scarce
CAIRO (AFP) – Protesters Monday overran several Libyan cities and regime stalwarts began defecting as the pillars of Moamer Kadhafi's hardline rule were targeted in Tripoli amid reports he had fled the country.
Cities including Benghazi in the east had fallen to demonstrators opposing Kadhafi's 41-year-old regime after military units deserted, said the Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights (IFHR).
With gunfire crackling in the streets of Tripoli, protesters also attacked police stations and the offices of the state broadcaster, Kadhafi's mouthpiece, as well as setting government buildings ablaze.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon told Kadhafi in a phone call that the violence "must stop immediately" and called for a broad-based dialogue, a UN spokesman said.
In Brussels, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Kadhafi may be heading to Venezuela, citing "information that suggests he is on his way," but Caracas quickly denied this.
US President Barack Obama was "considering all appropriate actions" on Libya, as Washington ordered out all non-essential staff and warned Americans to avoid travel to the north African country.
Two Libyan warplanes with four personnel on board who said they had escaped Benghazi air base after it was overrun by protesters landed in Malta, military sources told AFP.
Italy put all military air bases on maximum alert after the Libyan fighters landed, ANSA news agency reported.
Two civilian helicopters also arrived in Malta with seven people who said they were French and worked on oil rigs near Benghazi, the Maltese sources said.
Libyan state television said security forces were battling "dens of terrorists" in a sweep that has killed a number of people, without specifying where this was or who was being targeted.
State television reported that Kadhafi's son, Seif al-Islam, had set up a commission to probe "the sad events currently taking place in Libya," and that it would include "members of Libyan and foreign rights organisations."
He had already appeared on television overnight to warn that the country faced civil war.
"Libya is at a crossroads. If we do not agree today on reforms… rivers of blood will run through Libya," he said in a fiery but rambling speech that betrayed a note of desperation within his father's regime.
"We will take up arms… we will fight to the last bullet. We will destroy seditious elements. If everybody is armed, it is civil war, we will kill each other… Libya is not Egypt, it is not Tunisia."
IFHR head Souhayr Belhassen said protesters had control of Benghazi, Sirte, Tobruk in the east, as well as Misrata, Khoms, Tarhounah, Zenten, Al-Zawiya and Zouara, closer to the capital.
Witnesses in Sirte denied that Kadhafi's coastal hometown was under the control of protesters, but others in Al-Zawiya told AFP that police had fled that city.
The IFHR said that besides soldiers and diplomats, other senior regime officials had also defected to the side of protesters, demanding that Kadhafi go after more than 41 years in power.
It said the protests had resulted in up to 400 deaths. Human Rights Watch earlier cited a death toll of 233.
Protesters in the capital attacked the state broadcaster's offices and overnight set alight branches of the People's Committees that are the mainstay of Kadhafi's regime, witnesses told AFP.
Broadcasts on both channels interrupted on Sunday evening resumed on Monday.
"Protesters burned and ransacked the ministry of interior building," in central Tripoli, one witness told AFP by email.
Earlier, heavy gunfire erupted in central Tripoli and other city areas for the first time since the uprising began in eastern Libya, witnesses and an AFP journalist reported.
"When we heard the unrest was approaching, we stocked up on flour and tomatoes. It's definitely the end of the regime. This has never happened in Libya before. We are praying that it ends quickly," a resident of a suburb east of Tripoli told AFP in Cairo by telephone.
Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, 38, who holds no formal government post but wields vast influence as heir apparent, suggested that Benghazi was out of government control.
"At this moment there are tanks being driven by civilians in Benghazi," he said, insisting that the uprising was aimed at installing Islamist rule and that it would be ruthlessly crushed.
Libya's justice minister, Mustapha Abdeljalil, resigned in objection to "the excessive use of force" against demonstrators, the Quryna newspaper website reported.
In Cairo, Libya's Arab League envoy said he had resigned to "join the revolution."
Tripoli's ambassador to Delhi also quit, as did a lower-level diplomat in Beijing, Al-Jazeera television reported.
Oil prices soared above $105 per barrel on the turmoil, and the Fitch agency downgraded Libya's debt rating a notch from BBB+ to BBB, adding that a further drop was likely.
British energy giant BP said it was preparing to evacuate some staff from Libya, which holds Africa's biggest oil reserves, and French oil giant Total said it was repatriating most of its expatriate employees and their families.
Portugal and Austria sent military planes to evacuate their nationals, as European governments and firms scrambled to evacuate their citizens from a Libya facing the looming spectre of civil war.

ZURICH (Reuters) - U.S. healthcare group Danaher Corp (DHR.N) is to buy Nobel Biocare Holding AG NOBN.S for an agreed $2.2 billion to become the world's biggest player in a dental implants market benefiting from growing demand for cosmetic dentistry.
Danaher said on Monday it would pay 17.10 Swiss francs per Nobel Biocare share in cash, about 23 percent above Nobel Biocare's closing price on July 28, the day before the Swiss firm said it was in talks with potential buyers.
However, Nobel Biocare shares fell as much as 6 percent after analysts had predicted the company could fetch over 20 francs per share.
"From my side, it doesn't fill me with that much enthusiasm. But I don't expect there will be a second bid," Sebastien Buch, a portfolio manager at Union Investment which owns roughly 3 percent of Nobel Biocare's shares, told Reuters.
Danaher is a leading provider of dental equipment, but only a small player in the fragmented dental implants market after its acquisition of low-cost manufacturer Implant Direct.
The purchase of Nobel Biocare, the world's No.2 dental implants maker, will bring Danaher a premium range of implants and boost its dental business to sales of around $3 billion.
Vontobel analysts forecast the global dental implants market is set to double to $6 billion by 2025, helped by recovering Western economies and rising incomes in developing countries.
Danaher President and Chief Executive Thomas P. Joyce told a conference call that Nobel Biocare's recent investment in high-growth markets such as China, eastern Europe and Latin America - which now make up about 20 percent of sales - had made it an attractive opportunity.
Fellow dental implant players such as Henry Schein (HSIC.O) and Dentsply (XRAY.O) had been cited as possible bidders for Nobel Biocare, while the company had reportedly also attracted interest from buyout group EQT Partners.
Analysts at Berenberg said it was "by no means a certainty" that Nobel Biocare's shareholders would agree to tender their shares at Danaher's price, adding it was possible that other potential suitors could enter the fray with a higher offer.
The deal, recommended by Nobel Biocare's board, requires the acceptance of 67 percent of Nobel Biocare's shareholders.
But other analysts said the price was fair and counter bids looked unlikely. Swiss rival Straumann (STMN.S) ruled out interest in Nobel Biocare last month, while Zimmer ZMH.N is busy with its purchase of Biomet Inc for more than $13 billion.
"Nobel has run an extensive sales process and we believe that Nobel is less attractive for private equity in light of its weak cash flow and no synergy opportunities," said Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Ed Ridley-Day.
Joyce said Danaher expected the deal to help it deliver a 10 percent return on invested capital (ROIC) by 2019. It expects the deal to add five cents to earnings per share by 2015 and ten cents by 2016.
The Nobel Biocare deal follows on from a wave of mergers among medical supplies makers this year, including Medtronic Inc's (MDT.N) $42.9 billion deal to buy Dublin-based Covidien Plc COV.N in June.
Like other makers of premium implants, Nobel Biocare has struggled since the financial crisis as cash-strapped consumers, particularly in southern Europe, cut back on pricey dental work which is not generally reimbursed by insurers.
Nobel Biocare's stock is down 80 percent since its all-time high in 2007. The company grappled with years of sliding sales and dwindling market share as it faced competition from a growing number of so-called "value" players.
But signs have grown that a long-awaited turnaround is taking root and the company has notched up five consecutive quarters of revenue growth at constant exchange rates.
Although the premium market is growing at a slower pace than the value segment, Danaher said it still expects dentists to prefer premium implants for complex cases. It expects the premium segment to keep growing in the 3-5 percent range.
Nobel Biocare had sales of 567 million euros ($735 million) and net profit of 42.6 million euros in 2013. It has $556 million of bonds and loans.
Danaher said Nobel Biocare would continue to operate as a standalone company and maintain its own brand and identity.
The deal is expected to be completed in late 2014 or early 2015. Nobel Biocare was advised by Goldman Sachs, while Credit Suisse acted as financial adviser and offer manager to Danaher.
At 1315 GMT (9.15 a.m. EDT), Nobel Biocare shares were down 5.5 percent at 17.1 Swiss francs.

Modern devices can have multiple communication paths, and each of these can become a security risk if they aren't detected, evaluated, and managed instantly. Doing this at scale across an entire enterprise network means evaluating thousands of devices and each of their communication pathways. Pwn Pulse automatically tracks all devices on your network and alerts you when a rogue or unauthorized device enters its proximity.
Rogue devices are designed to capture sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, keystrokes, and more. They breach Wifi networks, wireless access points, wireless devices, and Bluetooth devices to directly compromise or disrupt processes and/or steal valuable information to support the reconnaissance activity for an attack on the network. Some common rogue devices include:
Criminals can cheaply install rogue access points and gain network access via that connection with unauthorized devices. Unsuspecting employees can also be lured or even forced into joining fake wireless networks and rogue devices can gain access this way. Both of these methods are easily detected by Pulse.
Criminals can set up devices to eavesdrop on wireless phone calls, sniff Bluetooth traffic from employee-owned devices, and capture authentication handshakes by finding and exploiting vulnerable access points, wireless encryption, and Bluetooth protocol. Pulse can detect these devices in your airspace.
Drop boxes are made with purpose-bought hardware or rigged routers. A drop box can be plugged into a network to stand up rogue access points, and then a criminal can run wireless attacks from within the office, causing damage inside the network. Pulse would note this rogue access point as a threat immediately.
Wireless credit card skimmers can grab data from your credit card without touching it. Other card readers on entryways can be compromised to transmit information to a another rogue device. If these devices are communicating within your airspace, Pulse will detect the Bluetooth or wireless signal and alert you to the rogue device.
Wireless keyloggers plug into the keyboard connection in line and can store all of the keystrokes entered on a compromised machine. Criminals connect remotely with an unauthorized device via Wifi or Bluetooth and exfiltrate these keystrokes to discern passwords and other sensitive data.
The best way to prevent rogue access points and unauthorized devices on your network is to scrutinize each device that joins it as a potential threat, consistent with zero trust monitoring approaches. The Pwn Pulse Security Platform does exactly that, and prevents threats due to the the ability of unknown, cloaked and malicious devices to gain access to trusted devices and connections.
The advent of bring your own device is convenient for workers, but a nightmare for network security. For one, devices that leave the office are more likely to be lost or stolen. But more complicated is the issue of unmanaged BYOD, and how they can be a conductor for rogue devices.
This is the biggest issue most companies face in terms of rogue device access. If you don't know what's on your network, you can't tell if your network security is at risk. Pulse eliminates this problem completely by automatically detecting and alerting you about rogue devices on or near your network.
Shadow IT is used by employees working around inefficient systems without the authorization of the IT department. An example of this would be texting about sensitive company information rather than using a protected email system. Another example would be a cell phone used as MiFi device to exfiltrate data by-passing the security infrastructure. Shadow IT systems are likely more vulnerable to rogue devices because they are not actively protected by the IT department.
Third party vendors used by companies often have access to sensitive information or data from their client company. If their networks are not monitored, rogue devices may be able to access your information on the third party's system. Pulse can monitor your security policy for you. This will ensure that a third party vendor has the same rogue device detection capabilities that you do.
All it takes to build or buy a rogue device is $20 and an internet connection. A security breach can potentially cost a business everything. How do you protect yourself against something so pervasive?
You get Pulse.
Pulse protects against rogue devices and access points with:
Built-in rogue device rules that immediately alert of network threats
Automatic detection for malicious hardware on or near your network
Discovery and tracking for every device on your network
The ability to track device behavior and changes
Immediate alerts for perceived rogue devices and access points
User-friendly visualization of all threat alerts and tasks

As a small kid Suzy did not know what to do with her awareness around animals. She started walking imaginary dogs to 'make sense' of the information she received all the time. All the possible jobs that were available at the time involving working with animals never did seem like they actually matched the energy of what Suzy knew was possible, even though she apprenticed to become a Farmer and Animal Communicator. The closest she came to that energy was when she became a dog walker. It was not until she found Access Consciousness that she became aware that the energy she perceived as a child was finally available.
Suzy Godsey is the Access Consciousness® Certified Specialty Class, Talk to the Animals Program Director and Founder of the unique and powerful modality ~ ESSE ~ Energetic Synthesis of Structural Embodiment.
Her ability to listen to and learn from animals gives Suzy the tools to facilitate others in communicating more and knowing that animals have their way they see the world.
In her desire to create more for animals Suzy facilitates classes all over the world, on the phone and internet radio. Her work has appeared on U.S. and international television, radio, and internet telesummits, including a segment on Cesar Milan's "Dog Whisperer" television show.
Suzy's Target?
"Really, when you ask me what my target is, the first thing that comes up is 'To Change The Whole World'. There are so many things that are not working here, especially when it comes to living and working with animals. This Earth is an incredible and beautiful place and I will do whatever I can to create it as a sustainable, living organism. How can we create joy and possibility for all of us? Animals included?"
