Banner series designed for "Toward Zero Waste" an initiative campaign of Sustainable Connections Sustainable Business Development. The vertical banners are designed to act as the background to a waste receptacle. That meant all the key information needed to exist in the top third of the vertical space. Dealing with waste can be a complicated and nuanced process so sticking to colors that are familiar was important. Rather than choose the deeper blue that is often associated with recycling we chose instead our paler branded blue to signify renewal. Using the branded color palette instead, a fresh modern look is achieved. I wanted to present the idea of sorting items to dispose of as a simple and also nuanced process. The clean lines suggest simplicity while the unique line detail of each item address the nuance of the process.
So often projects like this are handled the same way, lots of color photos and too much language. These posters ultimately do have some language of course but it's nice to look at the pure idea first. Enjoy the large simple objects, on the fields of bold color. They're approachable and easy to comprehend visually, the lines are playful and memory provoking.
Seemingly simple jobs like this one are a joy to do. I see them as ways to exercise and explore the power of the branded elements.

In this post I'm bringing you my October reads: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo, Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien, and Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
Siege and Storm is the sequel to Shadow and Bone, which was published in the UK as The Gathering Dark. I borrowed the first book from the library and liked it – the fantasy element was well worked and the two main characters, Alina and Mal, were intriguing. So when I spotted the second on another library trip, I had to pick it up. It carries on from where the last left off: Alina has been living with the Grisha, but the events of The Gathering Dark have left her on the run with Mal away from the evil that has risen from within the Grisha Palace.
The story is much improved for having Mal around some more. While Alina's time with the Grisha in The Gathering Dark was good, for me it missed the opportunity to capitalise on the orphan learning how to use her powers, something that I've seen executed brilliantly in one of my favourite book series, The Books of Pellinor by Alison Croggon. As a result, Alina and Mal escaping that sphere and going on the run livens the narrative up for me. Alina is very much alone with the Grisha, and misses Mal greatly; by bringing him into the narrative there is more focus on driving events forward rather than reflecting on what Alina misses.
It is also, of course, the second book in a trilogy, which automatically gives it the challenge of that awkward in-between place. It is inevitably tied to the books either side of it, and badly done can be filler rather than an engaging novel of its own. The Grisha trilogy, however, doesn't seem like something for three separate books. Its story carries on, and happens to be split in to three. In some respects it would be stronger with three distinct plots of its own, rather than one that just moves steadily onwards, but it is executed pretty well and has me interested in reading the final book if it appears in my local library.
The next book I read was Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien. This tells the story of Gaia, a sixteen year old midwife, who serves the women living outside the Enclave. The Enclave is the settlement inside the wall, and who take a "quota" of babies from outside the wall to bring in to their gene pool. One night Gaia's parents disappear, and she has to go into the Enclave to find them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it can easily be marketed as dystopian, to me it is good solid YA fantasy adventure. Gaia is a compelling narrator, and brings the world both in and outside the Enclave to life. When she smuggles herself into the Enclave we are treated to her careful and determined exploration of its contents and why they are so desperate to advance babies from the outside. Its sequel, Prized, carries on with the same strengths, and the claustrophobia of one small settlement with rigid laws sees Gaia work from within a system and trying to break out.
Her dealings with Leon, a guard inside the Enclave, are well constructed and never has huge overtones of "here is the boy there must be romantic interest!". The two characters stand equally well on their own, and neither becomes weaker for meeting the other. The initially awkward acquaintance develops well, and O'Brien never lets it overpower the story arc. Gaia is never lessened for meeting other characters. She remains strong and determined and it is one of the main things I love about this book. I am just gutted that the third book is only available in the UK as an ebook.
Finally, I read Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This particular read was a recommendation from a tutor and one I'm glad I came across. The premise is that there was a war between pro-life and pro-choice campaigners, and as a result they created the rules of Unwinds – children between the ages of thirteen and eighteen can be "unwound" and their parts be used elsewhere, meaning they haven't technically died.
It is a controversial topic and one that creates a strong dystopia from the outset. The three main characters, Connor, Risa and Lev all have varying stories from their different social backgrounds, but all have one thing in common: they are going to be Unwound. Connor and Risa are determined to escape but Lev has been brought up by devoutly religious parents who conceived him as a "tithe", a child born to be unwound. I found Risa and Connor stronger characters than Lev, but then again the reader is exposed more to them. The on-the-run narrative is hardly a new one but Shusterman makes it work well. The only problem I had with Unwind was that I always felt the characters never quite got into top gear. They were always good, but I wanted them to be pushed further and to really grab me by the scruff of the neck and pull me into their story.
I also read Unwind as a stand-alone novel, and as such it works well. It is part of a trilogy though – what YA books aren't? – and I'm not sure I would pick up a sequel. As one book, it is contained and works effectively. The scene of the unwinding, for example, is especially powerful. But I'm not sure where Shusterman can go from the conclusion of Unwind. It is a good read, but I don't think I'll be going any further.
Recommendation: Birthmarked, by Caragh O'Brien
Siege and Storm: 7/10
Birthmarked: 9/10
Unwind: 6/10
The Gathering Dark: 6/10
Prized: 9/10

Series: Beautiful #1
Published by Simon and Schuster on 2012-07-12
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Pages: 432
Format: Paperback
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand. Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis's apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
This was exactly what it says. A complete disasterous relationship but entirely beautiful. This was truly a fantastic little story. No vamps or werewolves or faeries or angels! Just a few teenagers with some skeletons in their closet in their first few years of college finding true love and discovering what's really important. I know this seems like a very short review but without giving a bunch of spoilers there really isn't that much more to say. I LOVED IT!!! I loved the friendships and the relationships and the problems and the solutions and the tough sides and the vulnerability. Just everything about it. I think this book should be read by everyone!

The tricky one looks to be the atan2 used to calculate the aspect. Either it needs to be split into two functions, one calculating atan(dy/dx), and the other calculating the correct quadrant, or it needs to be approximated using arithmetic in ImageMath. After that it is just a matter of back-scaling, multiplying and summing, which ImageMath.eval and other functions can do. but, as I said, I don't recommend it. douglas

Seth Godin is considered by many as the "godfather of modern marketing" and years ago he made the bold statement that "content marketing is the only marketing left." In the years following the release of his first book, Permission Marketing, the marketing industry and seen an upheaval of historic proportions. In fact, I believe the communication and thus marketing revolution we are living in is the biggest since the printing press. Quality content and content marketing have always been in the thick of this landmark shift. Seth was right in 1999, and he is still spot on.
Content marketing is the heart of inbound marketing. Modern marketing is forcing brands and advertising agencies to act more like publishers. The internet provides for and encourages the sharing of information and sharing quality content is all about telling the stories the public want to hear, it's about engaging and educating prospects and customers alike. When content marketing is done right, followers become fans and even promoters of your brand because you have provided something they want and need. Content marketing leverages the words we use in online searches to drive engagement and action (conversions) through engaging headlines and helpful, non-promotion based information. The heart of marketing is still engaging the heart and mind of the consumer, but now we do that by providing helpful, educating content.
To say we have come a long way is an understatement! Content marketing continues to become more and more sophisticated all the time.
Here are some of the most popular communication channels today:
Video Marketing
There is no escaping that video marketing is the most popular form of content marketing around today, and all the statistics say it will going to continue to grow. There is both live video and prerecorded video to consider now. Periscope, Facebook Live, Snapchat, Instagram, Meerkat, and Vine just to name a few, all capitalize on the live experience with Facebook still offering the widest viewership. There are pros and cons to pre-recorded and live videos, and we'll cover that in another blog. For most businesses, just getting pre-recorded content up is a victory so let's focus on that for the moment. Make sure you plan out or storyboard what you want to communicate first. Know what story you want to share and remember keep it around 15 seconds for most social media videos. Practice and make sure you are to the point and you know what you want to communicate. Videos don't have to be a person talking either. You can put together a short with photos and text that is powerful and demonstrates exactly what you want to share. Check out this video about the Alaska Inbound Marketing Summit that is coming up in September.
E-Mail Marketing
The traditional newsletter we used to get in the mail with those goofy little circle tabs has evolved to an e-mail marketing system. Some brands still treat their marketing e-mail like the newsletters of old and pack it full of as much information as possible. Trust me; there is a better way! Marketing e-mails have to contend with a lot of other mail, and you want people to look forward to getting yours. Take it as an opportunity to wow them! Focus on dynamic images that engage your audience; keep the text to a minimum and link people back to your website, or a landing page, if they want more information. This encourages traffic and will make a bid difference in your conversions. Think skimmable! Can they skim the information and have an idea what you are trying to say? Yes?! Awesome, then you are on the right track.
Social Media Marketing
If it seems like there is a new social media channel with a weird name like "Meerkat" popping up every second, you are not far off. Some are a flash in the pan like Blab and others like Snapchat have survived to thrive and continue to grow. The big three or four: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram are the primary focus for most businesses, though is it most common to pick two of the top four to focus on. Quality content on social media focuses on posting original, short form content with a focus the visual side. Video content is a huge benefit to most of these channels. The key with these as with any content marketing is consistency and a focus on providing information that is helpful to your audience.
Google wants to see that our websites are updated consistently (are you tired of that word yet?) and the best way to do that is to publish blogs on a regular basis. Blogs are a longer format than social media, typically 600-2,000 words that are educational and focus in on specific subjects your target audience is interested in. It is common for the public to access your website through a blog before they ever hit your home page. Blogs also communicate the tenor and personality of the company, and this is more important than ever. People look to build a connection with the brands they do business with and want to feel like they are a part of a community. When they resonate with the tone and with the information in the blogs they read, they feel a deeper kinship with the company and are thus more likely to buy. Whenever given the choice, we will tend to do business with those that we know, like and trust. When prospects can feel a connection to your business, your brand, they are more likely to call you when they are ready to buy. It is an investment in the people who are most liable to buy from you.
Website Content & Landing Pages
The last piece I'm going to touch on in this blog is the content that is on your website. Businesses can not afford to overlook the words, photos, and videos that appear or do not appear on their sites. It is important to have all three (words, photos, and videos). People will look for all three these days. While you may not update the information in your "about us" or services section very often, that does not mean you can afford to neglect it. Google bases your rankings more on the words that are in the actual descriptions in your site than the keywords. People got too good at "keyword stuffing" their sites with highly trending words that had nothing to do with their actual site and Google figured out a way around it. They now put a high value on what is in your "about us" section that your keywords. So make sure the words people are searching for appear naturally in your text so that Google will rank you site and people can find your content. Landing pages have emerged in the last year or two as another good way to attract people and direct them to valuable content. Landing pages do ask for something in return for the information, though. Typically at least a name and email. The more information being given away, i.e., a whole ebook, the more information a brand may request in exchange for that content. Not everyone is a fan of this style of content marketing, but it is still proving to be effective when a reasonable sharing of information is involved.
So if content marketing intrigues or intimidates you (or both perhaps), we would love to chat with you about how it can revolutionize your marketing efforts. A combination of traditional and digital marketing is the best mix for most companies today, and it is something at which Beacon. If you would like to just chat about the possibilities, I would love to connect. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or give me a call at 907-563-6008.

Chest Microdermal
I've always been one for piercings, and before I had one micro dermal in each wrist, I had roughly 14 piercings. Since changing my piercer, I have gone less commercial ones and started on borderline unusual. But yeah, long story short, I had a micro dermal in each wrist, one didn't heal properly and I could remove it and put it back in, and rejected on numerous occasions, and the other healed fine (I didn't catch that one during its vital healing process) but I am a chef, and piercings in your arm whilst rushing around don't mix and I ripped it clean out. Don't worry; it didn't go straight into someone's dinner.
Now, me and my piercer, Liz, are quite good friends. I've been going to her studio for roughly about a year, and she has done my tongue web, septum and wrist micro dermals, and the other piercer, Claire, did my right nostril (RIP) and both of my nipples. I would definitely recommend them, they're the best piercing place in King's Lynn. Since both of my wrist dermals failed, I texted Liz and told her, and she told me to bring them in and she would sterilize them and put them back in anywhere for a discounted price. I said this was OK, and I was going to come in soon and everything, etc. Being myself, I was always busy at work, or at college, and I never had the time or the cash. (Driving is so expensive, these days.)
On one random day, I think it was Monday 5th October 2009, me and my best friend went up King's Lynn to do some shopping, and I thought that then would be the perfect time to go in and hassle Liz for a few hours. We walked in, said our Hello's to Sean, the tattooist (Who is going to become my tattooist once I'm 18) and carried on into the little room which is Liz's studio. We got straight to the point, I told her I wanted my dermals put in again but I didn't know where, so we had a little talk about rejection rates etc, but the chest is where I've always wanted it...and the most practical compared to my other ideas. (One in each finger...not exactly suitable for a kitchen.) She told me that whilst a mutual friend's one had rejected, I have more flesh, or 'tit flesh' as Sophie said, and that mine should be OK. And if it was to reject again, she would put it in again free of charge. So we had agreed. It was a chest dermal for me! I was pretty nervous about the dermal punch, becaus
e before Liz was still training in dermals and using a needle. (Very painful.) So Liz, Sophie and myself went outside for a cigarette, and just chatted a bit about Sophie's piercings, my piercings, Liz's experience with genital piercings she had recently started doing, whilst I was getting increasingly nervous. Even though I have/had six lip piercings (Angelbites, Snakebites and two other lip piercings), Tragus, Industrial, 4 x Cartilage piercings upper ear, Lobes to 18mm, Second lobe piercings, Septum, both nostrils, Tongue web, Both nipples (Horizontal) and two wrist micro dermals, I am one of those piercing enthusiasts with phobia of needles. Yes, you heard correct. I also dislike pain. We went back into the studio after finishing our cigarette, and she marked me up with a toothpick, ink and pure skill. The mark was dead in the middle of my chest, about an inch and a half down from my collarbones and perfectly in line with my cleavage. We didn't have to mark again, so Li
z asked me to lie down, and let the magic happen.
First of all, she asked the usual question. "Are you ready?" and my usual answer, "No" came back. Since Liz is used to this, she smiled, and picked up the dermal punch and used it against my chest. Now, cutting the skin didn't really hurt, it was a pain which was easily coped with, probably about a 4 on a scale of 10. It was more the pressure on my chest which was uncomfortable; it really limited my breathing ability. She then picked up the jewellery and held it with a pair of pliers, and wedged it in the whole. This was the most uncomfortable part, and on a pain scale I would say it was a 7, and felt very sore and she pushed each foot of the jewellery in. The whole experience took roughly about 2 minutes maximum, and after Liz had placed the jewellery in, she wasn't took happy about how much it stuck out. I would rather not have to go through the experience again in the same place as it was already very tender, so she told me to keep it taped down, and come back in a few we
eks and we would see how it had settled. I have taken the tape off now, it had been about 3 days when I stopped taping it down, I am happy with the placement even if it does stick out a little. It looks really pretty and it gets mixed reactions, which is brilliant. I have, however, been asked if it comes out the other side!

So very disturbing, but extremely well done, Australia's "The Babadook" may be one of the creepiest movies ever. And it's that excellence which makes it so horrific and terrific at the same time.
Written and directed by Jennifer Kent, "The Babadook" is the story of widowed Mom, Amelia (Essie Davis), and her young son, Samuel (Noah Wiseman). Amelia's husband died in a car crash while driving her to the hospital to deliver Samuel. Since then it's been just the two of them. Amelia works as an orderly and seemingly has few friends except for a tenuous relationship with her sister who has a daughter the same age as Samuel. Samuel is in first grade and it's his increasing aggressive behavior that has driven many of their friends away and has strained her relationship with her sister.
Samuel has a hard time sleeping soundly. He sees monsters everywhere. He has absolutely no problem speaking exactly what's on his mind and what's often on his mind is very weird and dark. He is very smart for his age and to counteract the monsters he "sees," he has developed some fairly dangerous weapons to kill them. Amelia is in the habit of reading him stories before he goes to bed. One night the two of them read the pop-up storybook "The Babadook." In retrospect that might not have been the best thing to do. Samuel becomes obsessed with "Babadook" and not in a good way.
What makes "The Babadook" so terrific is its acting. Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman are astounding in their range. From where did they find Wiseman? He is absolutely fantastic. His Samuel is such an obnoxious child at times, that in the beginning you almost want go to the screen and hug his mother to let her know she's not alone. He is terrifying in his earnestness that someone or something is out to get them and he will do anything to protect the two of them, most especially his mother. Wiseman does an amazing job in conveying how smart and resilient Samuel is. Davis is equally convincing as the mother dedicated to the well-being of her son while being at her wit's end in trying to figure out how to help him. Her portrayal of the over-whelming fatigue Amelia feels in raising Samuel is palpable. Her character's transformation from soft and gentle Mom to something else entirely is beyond spine-chilling.
"The Babadook's" script and direction is very sharp in its story-telling. Some of the film almost looks black and white and that adds to the movie's sinisterness.
Jennifer Kent has come up with a horror film for the ages. By all means see it, but a viewing while it's still daylight outside is highly recommended.
"The Babadook" is in limited release and available On Demand.

A Gentleman Called
He remembers the W.I. Hall as a tin hut, the Post Office was on the Green and the Baker's was where Mr Lakhani's Chemists shop is now. I remember the ovens in the back when I worked for Lockhead Electronics in 1969 on the same site. There was a man known as "Squinty" who repaired watches near the Bakers shop. Vine House was a farm house with farm buildings at the back where Mellors Court is now. Along the High street going towards Church Street were four small dwellings (shown on the O.S. map in 1920 was a row of houses with a small shop at the end). [I can remember it as a sweet shop.]
There was a tin shed there where cycles were repaired on the corner of High Street and Church Street. He remembers the A1 B&B when it was a shop. From the corner of Tinker's Lane to the Church was all fields and manor farm. He can also remember a fair on the village green.
Ben Irish, then lived in Mr Huntings house near the Green, and it was Mr Paddison's father who advised Mr Irish to buy the horse Papyrus which won the Derby at 100 to 1. Mr Paddison said he left home at the age of 1 8 as he did not intend to work all his life as a farm labourer.
Reginald Paddison, Mr Paddison's father, (Master of the Hunt), lived in the 'Whitehouse' Coppinford and his grandfather lived in the Manor House in the High Street near the Surgery. Mr Paddison was a hound walker, his job was to walk and train the little hounds until they were large enough to join the Hunt. Mr Paddison used to visit the Manor House often. He is interested in everything scientific and even remembers the mill up Gidding Road working. It had no sails but the mill stones in the building near the mill were working, driven by an engine which drove three sets of stones.
He used to take horses down Green End Road to Allan's Engineers to be shod and visit the pub (The Black Bull, or Durham Ox) at the corner of St Judith's Lane to wait. Allan's Engineers was opposite St Judith's Lane and, early in the morning, he would cycle to Holme train station to collect the daily papers.
The day after he told me all this, I walked with my dog to the A1 B&B with a promise to call and see if Mr Healy, current owner of the Manor House was at home. We found the gate open and Mr Healy at home. He was very interested in what Mr Paddison could tell him about the 'old house'. In one place a building had been removed. It turned out to have been a lean-to at the right-hand side of the Manor which had been a coal house, log shed & a WC. Also Mr Paddison was able to tell Mr Healy where he could find a sweet-water well.
Mr Paddison informed me that he had done a little digging where the moat complex was in Archer's Wood. This is where the Sawtry Archaeological Society did a dig in 1979/80. He found a Great Grasshopper and a rare plant called Adder Tongue which grew in the moats.
Mr Henry Russell Paddison was impressed by the kindness Sawtry people had shown him. He had to leave for Devon the next day and I have promised to send him a copy of this Sawtry Eye. While he was here recently, Mr Paddison walked to Conington and back. Not bad for a 94 year old. He has travelled all over the world he tells me, and lives in New Zealand in the winter. Thank you Mr Paddison for paying us a visit.

There's no sign out front indicating that it's a dining establishment named after a noteworthy chef, and the place can't advertise in the media about its calamari, Maryland-style crab cakes, ravioli Caprese and chicken Florentine.
But via word of mouth, patrons are discovering Matteo's Garden Club on Sunrise Avenue.
Since January, 72-seat Matteo's Garden Club, 140 Sunrise Ave., has been quietly building support thanks to moderately priced lunch and dinner menus and the recognized talent of Chef Matteo Vicinanza (shown at right).
Vicinanza, a native of Italy, has owned and operated fine South Florida restaurants, such as Mario's Il Palio and Piccolo Paradiso in Miami. Years ago, he helmed the kitchen at Cucina dell'Arte and he also has worked as a private chef in Palm Beach.
Vicinanza's wife, Tami, a restaurateur who grew up in Palm Beach, serves as general manager of Matteo's Garden Club, where the cuisine is Continental with Vicinanza's flourishes and the pale green-hued dining room offers white-table-cloth service.
The restaurant is open for lunch (Tues.-Sat.), dinner (Tues., Thurs. and Fri,.) and Sunday brunch.
Lunch items, some of which also are on the dinner menu, include calamari ($7), an eggplant "tower" ($7), Maryland-style crab cakes ($10), salmon BLT ($9), Gorgonzola salad with pear and walnuts ($8) and a half-pound sirloin hamburger ($8).
Among dinner items: ravioli Caprese ($12), grilled almond-crusted wild salmon ($14) with an orange-reduction sauce, scampi ($18) and braised beef brisket ($16) served with potato pancakes and applesauce or sour cream.
On March 9, Matteo's Garden Club is featuring a four-course "Tour of Italy" wine dinner ($45 a person), featuring such wine-paired courses as penne pasta San Remo, and osso buco with polenta and assorted fresh vegetables.
"I would put Matteo's food up to any restaurant in town," says Carol Weltz, a longtime Palm Beacher who says she has dined at numerous restaurants on the island. "The care and presentation Matteo puts into everything is amazing. Even his sugar cookies and macaroons are divine."
Weltz is on the board of one of two condominium associations at The Sun & Surf Condominiums, the property on which Matteo's Garden Club resides in a freestanding building. Weltz also presides over the association's restaurant committee.
"Now that we have a great chef, more and more people are coming (to Matteo's Garden Club)," she says. "I was getting my hair done the other day and Matteo made me a sandwich to take with me and all of the ladies (at the salon) thought the sandwich was so beautiful and I told them about Matteo."
Because Matteo's Garden Club is located on property that is zoned residential, it can't solicit patrons via signage or advertising in the media, so patron-ambassadors play an invaluable role for the business, says Tami Vicinanza.
Decades ago, the Sun & Surf property was home to a hotel with a dining room. In the 1970s, when the Sun & Surf Condominiums debuted, an agreement with the Town allowed for the continuation of a dining room, but one intended to serve residents of the Sun & Surf.
But that doesn't restrict the dining room from serving the general public, according to Paul Castro, zoning administrator for the Town's Building, Planning and Zoning Department.
So over the years, the various restaurants that have operated in the Sun & Surf dining room—among them, The Garden Club, The Oasis, Bronko's, Eggsotic and now Matteo's Garden Club—generally have had to rely on word of mouth if they want to increase their customer base.
Matteo's Garden Club serves beer and wine. An 18 percent gratuity is included in diners' final checks.
For more information about Matteo's Garden Club, call 833-6600.

It is arguably the most important business process and one of the most difficult to manage (1). Why? Because it encompasses a series of workflow, information and decision flow across the entire organization. It is unique as well since every other process in the business can be driven to maximum efficiency. NPD is not just about efficiency, which often is the focus.

Franconia Beer Message Board
36 Kreisla -- Bamberg Landkreisbier
|Posted by Gerhard Schoolmann on 2018-08-19 05:12:24
|The Bauernmuseum Bamberger Land in Frensdorf is in the ownerschip of the Landkreis Bamberg. So the Landkreis can use his own building. It is also a nice place for such events with a room for 140 guests, p.e. invited journalists and VIPs..
The individual breweries can organize their own beer taps in their brewery restaurants.
But I agree that the beers have been traditional - not to say boring - in the last years.
Only a special edition in the year 2016 (Binkert, Hertl, Sauer Rossdorf) was a little bit different: a dry hopped bock. It was a second beer in the year 2016 because of the purity law (500 years jubilee)..

Remember how the Indiana Family Institute challenged me to attend Love Won Out with Ryan McCann, IFI's public policy director? I accepted and asked Ryan to attend a screening of Inlaws and Outlaws with me in exchange. (Gee, who got the better deal there?!) Our first date is this Sunday when we go watch the flick together.
Now, since those fundie groups are always clamoring about how gay marriage will lead to polygamy, I thought we'd make this a little more fun. *grins* Want to come along?
I have 3 extra tickets for the movie. If you'd like to attend (4:30pm at N United Methodist Church in Indy - 38th and Meridian), leave a comment. First 3 commentors gets to come along (and more than likely make it into my blog post about the event!)

Let me start this off by saying this Mookie is not what I had set out for this recipe to be.
And the first batch came out GREEN… and not because I intended it that way.
Okay, I think we should backtrack for a second here.
Originally, I wanted to make muffin tops because aside from the ones your jeans give you when you've eaten a bit too much, muffin tops are downright delicious and the best part of any muffin. I think we can all agree that you eat a muffin for the top. Crispy edges, fluffy center, contains the most topping, it's the best.
Which, naturally, is why I tried to make them.
Only the first go round, I used sunflower seed butter. Sounds like it would be delicious, right? Right! Except that when sunflower seeds mix with baking soda it releases chlorophyll and your baked goods turn an exceptionally bright

As promised, I've pulled in scans from the paper diagrams and notes for the layout of the theme I'm working on. Realize that these are raw notes, brain dump on paper. You can read the previous post here.
Designing interaction like this for a site is really similar to the way someone might put keyframes into an animation. The frames you see are the key transition points, even if there may be more in between as the site scales from large to small. As I was brainstorming on paper, I decided the site needed to hit the following key stages:
A) This is the tallest and most minimal your site will ever be. Your user is most likely on a mobile device, a small screen, or is just tinkering with your site. Regardless, these are the key points:
- Header and footer span the screen. Always.
- Content has a small horizontal margin. Even on a small screen you don't want to lose ALL your space and make it feel cramped. Your goal is to make it readable.
- Ever section, subsection, aside, and floated items are all in order, in line.
- Navigation is vertical.
- If the theme were to have ads, this would be the time to hide / remove all but the lightest weight and least intrusive.
B) This is slightly wider. Your content has more whitespace along the sides, the content is wider. You may be on a tablet, or possibly a phone in landscape. You don't know.
- Header and footer span
- Content has a slightly wider margin
- Most sections and subsections, asides, etc are still in order
- Navigation is probably still vertical (this will depend on how many items you have)
- The sidebar, which was stacked vertically in A, is now floated into two columns of items
C) Similar to the same pattern, Your content has slightly more whitespace along the sides, and the content is wider. A good percentage of your desktop browsers will be hitting your site at this stage, along with tablets, smartphones are probably not this wide.
- The sidebar, is now 4 columns instead of 3
- Asides are probably floated
- Navigation is probably horizontal
D) At this point, the sidebar flips up and is now alongside your content. Most of your content is at its largest width and you probably don't want your paragraphs growing much wider than they are right now since long lines makes reading difficult. This transition from C to D was interesting since originally I had the content area scale until the sidebar had room, and then it snapped down to be narrower than before. To avoid that, Between C and D I fixed and centered the main content area, and when the sidebar could be moved up alongside the content, I made the switch, and allowed the content to grow from then on until C.
E) Finally the width of the site is maxed out and centered. All your content is stretched out as wide as it can be, this'll usually be someone with a wide-screen monitor with the browser maximized. Usually.
Conclusion: One of the key benefits to designing a fluid theme is the instantly correct look you get when you open the site. Its not something people will or should consciously expect, it should simply BE the correct size the instant it appears, regardless of size, screen, or orientation. (Censored discriminatory jokes about size and orientation here). Its like walking into a store. A well designed store is easy to navigate, spacious, and consistent across all the stores you visit regardless of its size. You don't ever think about it because you're not there to analyze the layout of the store. Your there to buy groceries. Anything that gets in the way or makes it hard to find what you're looking for will stick out, and if it's bad enough, you'll go somewhere else. Its the same way with a site or blog. Users are there for a reason: For information, or to read, or to consume whatever content your serving up. They're not there to analyze your site and how it's designed, but if there's any difficulty in getting to what they want in the form they want it, 5 seconds later they'll be somewhere else.
It's important to be intentional about the decisions your making and how they will affect the final layout of the site. The more you reduce the complexity of the interactions, and the better defined the interactions are, the better the final end result will be. Use what you design. Do what your users do. You'll know best what you do and don't like and what feels right. Go with it, but don't be afraid to stop, backtrack, or even completely scrap good ideas if they are not up to your standards.

Technical Paper
Organic Compound Exhaust Analysis from Ethanol-Gasoline Fueled Motorcycle
Ethanol-Gasoline was being promoted in China. Ethanol as substitute fuel could save such nature resource that cannot be regenerated. At the same time, oxygen additives also have potential dangerous, such as, poisonous organic compound. In this paper, a typical 125 mL four stroke single cylinder motorcycle was driven on chassis dynamometer at 5 different stable conditions which is specified in ECE 40 driving cycle. At each stably driving condition, raw gas from exhaust pipe was collected in corresponding bags respectively. Those samples were analyzed by means of gas chromatogram and mass spectrum analyzer (Agilent GC6890-MS5973). Poisonous ethanol compound such as benzene, toluene had been found in samples from ethanol blended fueled motorcycle exhausts and compared with samples from that of pure gasoline.

Rules concerning the identification of goats and the need to maintain records of their movements
This guidance is for England
Goats that were born or identified on or after 31 December 2009, and are not intended for slaughter under 12 months of age, must be double identified and individually recorded in your herd register.
When moving these animals they must be recorded individually on your movement document (ARAMS-1, in paper or electronic form) unless you are moving them between premises that are part of your county parish holding (CPH) number and within a 10 mile radius of your 'point of business' (usually the postal address of your main animal handling point) or you move them through a central point recording centre (CPRC).
Individually identified goats will generally be your breeding stock but may also be goats you keep for whatever reason (including as pets) beyond 12 months of age.
There are different rules for goats destined for slaughter within 12 months of birth.
Before moving goats to your holding
If you want to keep goats you will first require a CPH number, which identifies the land where they will be kept.
To apply for a CPH number you need to contact the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) customer registration helpline on 03000 200301.
Notification of holdings
An occupier of a holding who begins to keep goats on that holding, and any person who takes over the occupation of a holding where goats are kept, must notify the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) of their name and address, and the address of the holding. This must be done within one month. APHA should be contacted on 03000 200301 or firstname.lastname@example.com. They will provide you with your herd number at this stage.
You must also notify APHA, within one month, if you stop keeping goats.
When should I identify my goats?
Kids born on your holding must be identified within the following timescales:
Kids must be identified before they leave their holding of birth (including moves to slaughter, temporary grazing, common grazing, market, etc) whether or not the six / nine months have passed.
Your goats will be rejected if they are not correctly identified when they arrive at a market or abattoir
What can I identify my goats with?
Goats can be identified with any of the following identification devices:
What is used depends on whether the animal is a double-identified animal (one that will not be slaughtered before it is 12 months old) or a slaughter animal (one that is intended for slaughter within 12 months of birth).
More information on the types and combinations of identification devices can be found on the GOV.UK website.
Electronic identification for goats is voluntary. However, if you intend to export then they must be full EID identified. For further details on how to identify your animals please see the GOV.UK website.
Goats born or identified before 31 December 2009
Before 1 January 2001 goats did not need to be identified with a permanent mark. Between 1 January 2001 and 31 January 2003 goats were identified with a UK herd mark tag, which did not have an individual number. Since 9 July 2005 all goats have been required to be individually identified (exception for goats slaughtered before 12 months of age).
If any of these older animals have not been identified and are to be moved, you must identify them with two identification devices that have the same individual number (see below).
Goats born or identified since 31 December 2009
These animals need to be double identified with two non-electronic identification devices (if choosing not to use EID). These can be:
In the case of animals intended for slaughter within 12 months of birth only one single slaughter tag is required with the herd mark printed on it.
Reserved colours for tags (as stated in the Sheep and Goats (Records, Identification and Movement) (England) Order 2009):
Replacing identification
If your goat loses its identification device, or it becomes impossible to read, you must replace the device within the following timescales (whichever comes first):
Whenever you apply replacements you must make a record of this in the replacement section of the holding register.
Replacement tags for slaughter animals:
Any replacement ear tag or pastern tag must have the same animal identification number and must be black. If the bolus fails or cannot be read the animal should be re-identified using an ear tag or pastern tag; you should not insert a new bolus.
If the goat has a tattoo and loses its other identifier the replacement identifier must have the same number as the tattoo. If the tattoo becomes illegible it should be replaced with a conventional ear tag.
Note: tattoos are not suitable for use for export.
Animals identified before 2010 are known as the 'historic flock'. The individual tag numbers of the historic flock must be recorded on the movement document unless the move is direct to slaughter. If you have to replace an ear tag on a historic-flock animal, you may wish to consider replacing both ear tags with a new pair that include an EID. This is not a legal requirement but it will make it possible to gather your animals' individual identification numbers using scanning equipment and is recommended by Defra and industry bodies.
Where do I record my animal movements & who do I report them to?
When an animal moves, its movement must be reported to the Animal Reporting and Movements Service (ARAMS) within three days using one of the following methods:
The movement must also be recorded in the holding register.
The only exceptions are as follows:
Recording movements in the holding register
Versions of the holding register in Excel and PDF are available on the GOV.UK website.
You must record the individual identification numbers for double-identified animals when the animal is first identified, moves to another holding or dies.
Slaughter animals are always recorded as a batch or mixed batch (you only need to record the herd marks of the animals being moved).
For animals born or identified before 31 December 2009 (historic flock) you never have to record individual identification numbers in the holding register and can continue to batch record them. However, printouts of individual numbers relating to the historic flock, provided by a CPRC, should be cross-referenced with batch movements in your holding register (although this link appears to be for sheep only, it is relevant for goats as well).
The examples below show the different ways of recording goat movements.
This is where you record the individual identification number of each animal. It applies to double-identified animals only. For example:
|Number of animals moved
|Herd mark / individual ID number
|CPH / location animals arrived from
|UK0123456 00002 to 00006
This is where you only record the total number of animals moved. It is used for slaughter animals, animals identified before 31 December 2009 and for moves through a CPRC that is providing you with the individual numbers. For example:
|Number of animals moved
|Herd mark
|CPH / location animals arrived from
This is where animals moving in batches have different herd marks. You must record the number of animals that have the same herd mark. It applies to slaughter animals only. For example:
|Number of animals moved
|Herd mark
|CPH / location animals arrived from
Note: the leading zeroes in the herd marks in the above tables are only necessary for full EID-identified animals.
Recording movements in the movement document
The ARAMS-1, which needs to be completed each time animals move to a different holding, can be found on the ARAMS website.
Moves can be recorded and reported in the movement document in two ways: individual recording and batch recording.
Slaughter animals should be recorded on a batch basis.
Double-identified goats born or identified since 31 December 2009 should be recorded individually on your movement document (ARAMS-1, in paper form or electronically) unless you are moving animals within the 10-mile rule or to slaughter (direct or through a market), which continue to be batch reported.
How do I record the individual numbers?
For individual recording, it is up to you to decide whether to read and record an animal's individual identification number yourself as it moves off your holding or use a CPRC to electronically read and record the numbers on EID goats on your behalf. By using a CPRC you avoid having to individually record animals as they move off the holding.
What is central point recording?
This is where animals with electronic identifiers have their individual identification numbers read and recorded on behalf of a keeper by a CPRC, such as an approved market or abattoir. A list of approved CPRC premises can be found on the GOV.UK website (as for the holding-register link above, although this appears to be for sheep only, it is also relevant for goats).
Further information
Extra information for sheep and goat keepers, including examples and scenarios, can be found on the GOV.UK website.
Failure to comply with trading standards law can lead to enforcement action and to sanctions, which may include a fine and/or imprisonment. For more information please see 'Trading standards: powers, enforcement & penalties'.

Baseball is a world of it's own. There is so much that isn't known upfront unless you have followed the ins and outs of the baseball world for years and years. And even some people I talk to that are die hard baseball people don't know the intricacies of the sport. They know that they love their team and that baseball season lasts from the start of Spring Training and goes until playoffs and the World Series. They know that there is a minor league system with Single, Double, and Triple A. They know that they have prospects... but what about the rest of it? There is so much more. Last week I posted this photo on my Instagram and I have received a lot of questions since then. So I thought I would share with you what the Fall League is all about.
It's an incredible feeling to get a photo from Adam of his very own professional baseball jersey with his last name on it hanging in his Fall League locker. It makes it even better that it is our name on the back of the jersey because becoming a professional player isn't just his dream, it's our dream. And if that means I stay home and work while we work towards our dream, that's okay. And moments like this make it more okay. Small wins and small victories on our way to the Bigs. Now go kick some Fall League booty, Adam!
What is the Fall League?So I am pulling this straight from the Arizona Fall League website, "There are six teams in the Arizona Fall League: the Scottsdale Scorpions, Mesa Solar Sox, Salt River Rafters, Glendale Desert Dogs, Peoria Javelinas and Surprise Saguaros. These club names were picked by Major League Baseball as reflective of the Southwestern desert traditions in the state.The teams are broken into two divisions, East and West. Each Major League Baseball team sends six top prospects to the Arizona Fall League, 180 players in all. The games are played in the Spring Training stadiums used by the Giants, Mariners, Padres, Cubs, A's, Royals, Rangers, D-backs and Rockies.How good are the players in the Arizona Fall League? The 2014 All-Star Game in Minneapolis featured 36 AFL alums. Nearly 60 percent of all AFL players make a Major League roster, with an incredible 212 All-Stars, 12 MVPs, four Cy Young Award Winners, three World Series MVPs, 66 Silver Sluggers, 58 Golden Gloves, and 25 Rookies of the Year.Each August, Major League clubs hold a position draft to determine the players who will go to Arizona. Most are Double-A and Triple-A Minor League players. Each club can opt to send one player considered a Class A player."So basically to sum it all up - it is an invite only league for top prospects in every organization. Mostly made up of upper level players, you have to be high enough in the ranks to even be considered for a Fall League invite. Once the guys are selected they all come together to create prospect teams that play each other for 6 weeks straight. During that time the guys are able to get a feel for what it will be like to play at the Big League level because all of the guys have what it takes to potentially be in the Majors within the next year or so.So that is a good thing to get invited to the Fall League?Absolutely. My favorite description of the Fall League is on their Twitter page, "MLB created the Arizona Fall League in 1992 to serve as an off-season "graduate school" for top prospects." Things like overall health and innings played get taken into consideration when they are selecting, so some of the organization's favorite might not end up going, but overall an invite to the Fall League shows that the Organization has you on their mind. They want to see what the guys can accomplish. And in my opinion, that is a great thing.Where does he play at?Adam's team - Salt River Rafters - have their home base at the Salt River Fields. That is where the Diamondbacks and Rockies are for Spring Training. Every year the Salt River Rafted swap between the two organization's big league locker room and this year they are in the Rockies' locker room. They have games at a few other facilities throughout the Phoenix area but his home base is Salt River fields.How long is he gone for?He is gone for about 2 months total. Adam left October 1st for practice and training. His games started October 12th. And his final game of the Fall League will be November 21st. Which means I get him home just in time for the holidays.Does that mean he will get invited to the Big Leagues next year?There is no guarantee with anything in baseball. But if he does well at the Fall League then there is a good chance he will be heading to Big League Spring Training. And then once again, we will see from there. If there is anything I have learned during baseball it is to always work hard and never get your hopes up. Something can chance in the matter of seconds and you can only hope for the best and plan for the worst. Whatever happens we know that it is because it is supposed to be. Adam works hard and hopefully all the hard work pays off for the move up to the Bigs!If I didn't answer a question you have, feel free to ask! The Fall League is something I didn't even know existed until last year when Adam mentioned that maybe next he would have a chance to get invited. And here we are in the next year and he is at the Fall League. It is crazy to me how much goes into baseball and how many options there are for your regular season - then add in all the off season options and your mind will be blown. I am just excited for the opportunity for Adam and I to work towards our goal to be a permanent part of the Diamondbacks family.

Smartphones have revolutionised our life over the years and the latest versions are trying to keep us hooked, making the single device in our hand do an incredible number of tasks. Alvin Thomas gets smart with the price tags, killer looks and fabulous features.
It's hard to ignore OnePlus when talking about success stories in the tech world. It's an undeniably brilliant tale of rags to riches. But why is it such a hit with the audience? Well, for starters the OnePlus 5 is one of the most affordable devices you can currently lay your hands on. Even better, the specs are tight: you get a 1080p 5.5-inch AMOLED display upfront, and inside is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. You also have the choice of either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Buy it for RO200 from souq.com.
Some may say that Finnish giant, Nokia, is coming back to the market all guns blazing with their all-new smartphone. In reality, however, they're on the back foot. Only a few months ago, Nokia existed only as a Wikipedia page, showing the world of their past achievements. It was a classic story of 'had it' and 'lost it'. Not anymore, though. This time around, the boffins are vying for top spot. The Nokia 8 is crafted in an aluminium chassis, complete with a large 5.3-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and 13-megapixel 'Carl-Zeiss' dual cameras. It's packing tough internals, too: there's a powerful Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4 gigs of RAM that will take care of all the thirsty processing. Other features include fast charging, Nokia OZO audio and USB 3.1 connectivity. The phone will be released in Oman later next month, and will cost RO177.
It may look like a seventh-generation Samsung Galaxy smartphone, but the HTC U11 is definitely beyond its Korean competitor; probably because it's new. It's touted as a phone for music enthusiasts due to its excellent speakers (positioned on the top and bottom). They're loud and clear, and strong enough to cover an entire room. Audiophiles will also love the branded headphones that are bundled with the package. Apart from that, the shell of the U11 is glossy, giving it a very chic touch. The display is 5.5-inches wide, and all the processing power comes from a Snapdragon 835 chipset. I'm still not sure if it is good enough to resurrect the struggling brand, though. Get it for RO330 from amazon.com.
Editor's Pick
Six-and-a-quarter inches AMOLED touchscreen supporting 4K resolution, a dual 12-megapixel camera that can shoot at 2160p, six gigs of RAM, a waterproof body, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 –these are all features that the best phone in the world currently packs. Yes, folks! Samsung have exploded (figuratively, this time around) back into the tech scene with its all-new Galaxy Note 8. If that wasn't all, the Koreans also throw in a formidable octa-core Exynos processor, a 3300mAh battery, and that stylus Note phones are well-known for. Needless to say, it's also quite a looker with that beautifully sculpted curved display. Homina homina; I want. Get it from Lulu Electronics for RO375.
App of the Week
How cool would it be if your phone was also your personal assistant? Those who said Siri (Apple) and Bixby (Samsung), please take a step back, because there's no beating Alexa when it comes to functionality. It's great at managing all your devices; even the lighting in your home, the volume on your home theatre, or simply cooling your room with the air conditioner. Of course, you would require the Amazon Echo to do all of that, but it's really not much of a price to pay. The app will also take your requests for music, set reminders and create shopping lists. Get it for free from Google Play.

- High Energy Seminar
- Observation of electron-antineutrino disappearance at Daya Bay
- Time: 3:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Karsten M. Heeger, University of Wisconsin
- Abstract: The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has measured a non-zero value for the neutrino mixing angle theta13 with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. Antineutrinos from six 2.9 GWth reactors were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baseline 470 m and 576 m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. With 55 days of data, 10416 (80376) electron antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall (near halls). The ratio of the observed to expected number of antineutrinos at the far hall is R=0.940 +/- 0.011(stat) +/- 0.004(syst). A rate-only analysis finds sin^22theta13=0.092 +/- 0.016(stat) +/- 0.005(syst) in a three-neutrino framework.
