About OK/Cancel
OK/Cancel is a comic strip collaboration co-written and co-illustrated by Kevin Cheng and Tom Chi. Our subject matter focuses on interfaces, good and bad and the people behind the industry of building interfaces - usability specialists, interaction designers, human-computer interaction (HCI) experts, industrial designers, etc.
Most people can relate to things in the world which don't work like they should. From your car's dashboard to the web pages you visit, you needn't be an expert to appreciate the frustrations - but experts do exist to try and make things easier. If you wish to learn more about the field, we encourage you to visit the HCI Bibliography or other sites in our resources.
OK/Cancel is completely developed through virtual collaboration as Tom and Kevin reside sixteen time zones apart from each other. For full details on how OK/Cancel is created, check out The Making of OK/Cancel.
#About the Authors
##Kevin Cheng
kevnull.com :: kc -at- ok-cancel
I draw pretty pictures. Everyone drew pretty pictures in pre-school. But somewhere along the "growing up" line, I missed the memo that said: "you've turned 6, please throw all your web-safe crayolas away." Instead, I kept drawing. Nobody told me I was supposed to stop!
At one point in the history of time, I worked at a company called Trilogy all the way down in Austin, Texas, USA. After much HCI consulting there with a lot of big-names-that-might-sue-me, I finally came to my senses and took some time off for a masters. But the globe trotting and the hypothesizing of the next great interaction leap is over for now and I'm working for the Man again. This time, I'm all Social and helping people get themselves lost at the same time.

I also did HCI consulting with KC back in the day. I got paid plenty of money to have people not listen while I enthusiastically explained user-centered design, info architecture, visual hierachy, contextual inquiry, interaction metaphors, etc.
The question of how people should interact with machines is appealing to me aesthetically, socially and philosophically. That some layouts and interactions are intuitive while others are confusing reveals metadata about how brains work and what meaning is. As technology progresses, our relationships with our creations grow ever more complex and 10 years can now completely redefine what society is (Is the individual most important, or the network? Is identity something that can be abstracted from body and recast into chosen digital representations?). What a crazy time.
But all the craziness only underscores the fact that we need to take seriously the work that goes on in the HCI world - it will define how we live and perhaps even what we are. That said, what better way to take something seriously than in a comic strip?

Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis and characterized by stiffness, pain, swelling, and tenderness of the joints and surrounding ligaments and tendons (dactylitis and enthesitis).57 Studies have confirmed that increased levels of proinflammatory mediators are found in psoriatic lesions and the synovium of patients with PsA.40, 41 The proinflammatory mediators, whose possible involvement in PsA is being investigated, are released by a variety of cell types, including innate immune cells, adaptive immune cells, and resident nonimmune cells.58
In psoriatic arthritis, abnormal levels of multiple proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators have been observed in:
Intracellular cAMP is degraded by the enzyme PDE4, which leads to the increased production of proinflammatory mediators and decreased production of anti-inflammatory mediators.3, 4, 5, 6 Once an immune cell has been activated, it releases proinflammatory mediators that can then activate other immune cells and promote cell proliferation, thus recruiting more immune cells to the site of disease.31 In psoriatic disease, this process does not resolve; instead, it disrupts immune homeostasis, thus creating a chronic cycle of inflammation.54
PDE4 plays an important role in the regulation of the pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators that are involved in psoriatic arthritis. Dysregulation of the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in joint-resident cells in the synovium could account for the characteristic swelling and tenderness of PsA.44Discover the role of PDE4 in Psoriasis »
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'‑AMP by a phosphodiesterase; the first known second messenger, it is a regulator of metabolism. A related compound (2',3') is also known.
B cells (or B lymphocyte)
One of the 2 major types of lymphocytes. B cells express but do not release surface immunoglobulins. B cells are the precursors of plasma cells, which are active in the formation and secretion of antibodies.
Within a cell or cells.
Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4)
A key enzyme involved in the cytokine production of inflammatory cells. PDE4 is an intracellular enzyme that promotes inflammation by degrading intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a naturally occurring second messenger that helps maintain immune homeostasis by modulating the production of pro‑ and anti‑inflammatory mediators.
A common dermatologic condition characterized by the eruption of circumscribed, discrete and confluent, reddish, silvery‑scaled maculopapules; the lesions occur predominantly on the elbows, knees, scalp, and trunk, and microscopically show characteristic parakeratosis and elongation of rete ridges with shortening of epidermal keratinocyte transit time due to decreased cyclic guanosine monophosphate
Psoriatic Arthritis
A form of polyarthritis (ie, affecting more than one joint) that occurs in patients with psoriasis; the arthritis resembles rheumatoid arthritis but is seronegative for rheumatoid factor and often involves the digits.

The 2016/17 batch of MA students at the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research, ISSER, of the University of Ghana on Tuesday embarked on a four-day study tour of the Western region.
The tour which is a key component of the Development Training Workshop II course in the Second Semester, will afford students opportunity to relate classroom work to reality and also interact with community members.
Dr. Simon Bawakyillenuo, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute and MA Course Coordinator is leading the students and he is upbeat about the success of the tour.
In a pep-talk while on the bus to begin the tour, he urged the students to see it as a learning opportunity and not for fun, though there would be occasions for fun-making.
The first point of call was the Western Regional Coordinating Council in Takoradi where the team paid a courtesy. They were met by Mr. Stephen Blighten, Regional Planning Director and Mr. Joseph Kwaku Adjei, Regional Director, Controller and Accountant-General's Office.
Mr. Blighten welcomed the team on behalf of the Regional Minister. He was excited about the visit and its rationale and extolled the natural endowment of the region which sets it apart from other regions.
A power-point presentation on an overview of the region was presented by Mr. Amihere, Deputy Regional Planning Officer. The presentation depicted the sprawling riches of the region, its untapped resources, poverty in the midst of plenty and challenges; top on the list being illegal mining also known in Ghanaian parlance as 'galamsey'.
There was time for questions and the students took the opportunity and asked many questions which the Regional Planning Director answered.
The tour continues with visits to the Ellembelle District Assembly, Adamus Resources Limited, a mining company, meeting community members in the district and Atuabo Gas before returning to Accra.
There will be a full report on the places they touched and communities visited. Stay tuned.

more likely followed in your workplace.
If you are going to do the training yourself, you will have to understand the material and be prepared to motivate the workers to learn. This is not always an easy task, but the benefits are worth the effort. More information regarding appropriate training can be found in Appendix B of this guide, which provides steps to follow in setting up and conducting training.
In reviewing your hazard communication program with regard to information and training, the following items need to be considered:
- Designation of person(s) responsible for conducting training;
- Format of the program to be used (audiovisuals, classroom instruction, etc.);
- Elements of the information and training program (should be consistent with the elements in paragraph (h) of the standard); and,
- Procedure to train new workers at the time of their initial assignment to work with a hazardous chemical, and to train workers when a new chemical hazard is introduced into the workplace.
The written program should provide enough details about the employer's plans in this area to assess whether or not a good faith effort is being made to train workers. When assessing an employer's compliance with hazard communication training requirements, OSHA CSHOs will talk to workers to determine if they have received training, if they know they are exposed to hazardous chemicals, and if they know where to obtain substance-specific information on labels and SDSs. It should be noted that if workers do not speak English, the employer must convey the hazard communication information in the language they understand—just like other job requirements and instructions are provided. OSHA has bilingual CSHOs, and they will be speaking to workers who speak another language to determine compliance.
The standard does not require employers to maintain records of employee training, but many employers choose to do so. This may help you monitor your own program to ensure that all workers are appropriately trained. Keeping records that document who was trained, when the training was conducted, and what was covered is also helpful to document compliance with OSHA's training requirement in case of an inspection. The standard does not require retraining on a regular schedule, it simply requires retraining if there is a new chemical hazard introduced into the work area. If your initial training program includes all potential hazards covered by HazCom 2012, there is no retraining required. However, it is good business practice to repeat and reinforce what is learned in training to make sure that workers retain the hazard information.
If you already have a hazard communication training program, you may simply have to update it to comply with HazCom 2012. In particular, by December 1, 2013, you will need to train your employees about the new label and SDS formats they will be seeing in their work areas. Additional
hazard training is not required if you have already trained under the existing hazard communication
requirements. However, after you receive all of the new labels and SDSs, and have updated your
hazard communication program, you may find that there is a type of hazard on which employees have
not yet received training. You will need to train employees on these new hazards at the time you
become aware of the new hazard. If you become aware of new hazards after December 1, 2015, you
will have until June 1, 2016 to ensure those hazards are included in the hazard communication program, the workplace labeling reflects these new hazards, and employees are trained on these new hazards.
An employer can provide employees information and training through whatever means are found appropriate. Although there will always have to be some training onsite (such as informing workers of the location and availability of the written program and SDSs), employee training may be satisfied in part by general training about the requirements of the HCS and about chemical hazards on the job which is provided by, for example, trade associations, unions, colleges, and professional schools. In addition, previous training, education and experience of a worker may relieve the employer of some of the burdens of informing and training that worker. Regardless of the method relied upon, however, the employer is always ultimately responsible for ensuring that workers are adequately trained. If the CSHO finds that the training is deficient, the employer will be cited for the deficiency regardless of who actually provided the training on behalf of the employer.

Do you ever look at your child and think, "Is this for real?" I do, and pretty regularly.
That kind of thinking goes back to the day he was born…
"Wait. You mean to tell me that this little person is what's been messing with my body for the better part of a year? THIS GUY?"
I love Miles SO much, and there's no doubt in my mind that he's my son…but it just seems so surreal! Just a couple years ago, I was taking impromptu trips to Vegas and deciding to go out to dinner at 9 pm on a Tuesday night. And now, at his 7 pm bedtime, I look down at this (super-adorable) baby and wonder, "This is really my life now?"
It's so fascinating to me how life can get flipped on its head so fast. I wouldn't trade Miles for anything in the world, but there are definitely still things I miss about "my old life." I'm hoping two things will happen as Miles starts getting a little older:
(1) I'll continue learning that this life is much more fulfilling than life without Miles. I'm shaping a person! If that's not important, I don't know what is.
(2) We'll be able to go back to some of those pre-baby activities…plus one. I think as a kid born and raised in New York City, Miles will quickly learn to appreciate all this city has to offer, and look forward to the spontaneity that allows us.
Here's hoping! For now, I'll just sit and stare in awe.

There was a time when Winamp was the king of PC music players, but nothing can stop the march of progress. As iTunes and then online music streaming services became more common, Winamp became less relevant. Now the Winamp site includes a notice that the webpage, services, and software will be going away on December 20th.
The shutdown is going to be complete — not even the old versions of Winamp will be made available for download. Users are encouraged to grab the most recent builds before the shutdown happens. Winamp was acquired by AOL over a decade ago, but the parent company has declined to comment further on the shutdown.
Former Winamp employees claim that the player software, which included a paid pro license, was consistently bringing in about $6 million annually for AOL. When Winamp was bought out, it was in a good position to shape the future of digital music, but AOL failed to see the writing on the wall until it was too late. Winamp continued to be geared toward playing local files, and the Shoutcast radio streaming always seemed like an afterthought. Apple made itself the de facto source for digital media, and Winamp faded into the background.
Even now, after years of being largely irrelevant in the digital media space, Winamp has millions of users around the world. The company released an Android version back in 2010, and a Mac edition in 2011. These software packages will be going away with the standard Windows version on December 20th. Now who will handle all the llama whippin'? Apple? Not likely.

Last night I unpacked my SU order (small but good). I ended up getting the scalloped oval punch which I absolutely love! I also got a circle punch (I forget what size). I emailed someone at Just-Rite to see what I needed to cut out the monograms. I'm so tired of messing around with the CM cutter to get almost the right size. Well, guess what? Either she told me the wrong one or I ordered the wrong one. It's too small for the image. The good news is I can use it for my other round stamps like Riveting and a few clear sets I have. I got some dp, Oval All stamp set and a few other things. I've already started my list for next time.
So I used my scalloped oval punch to cut out some cute sayings for the golf cards. I added ribbon, a few brads, flowers, etc. and I have 5 or 6 done. I think I'll make it a small set this time. I'm done with golf!!
I am so looking forward to this long weekend. I have Fri. and Mon. off. Yippeeeee!

A Fuller View: Buckminster Fuller's Vision of Hope and Abundance for AllThe Buckminster Fuller Institute 181 N 11th Street, Suite 402 Brooklyn, NY 11211 718.290.9280 http://www.bfi.org Wikipedia Facebook
Buckminster Fuller
Philosopher, designer, architect, artist, engineer, entrepreneur, author, mathematician, teacher and inventor, Richard Buckminster Fuller was a renowned 20th century inventor and visionary born in Milton, Massachusetts on July 12, 1895. An enthusiastic educationist, he held a chair at Southern Illinois University (1959–75), and in 1962 became professor of poetry at Harvard. Dedicating his life to making the world work for all of humanity, Fuller operated as a practical philosopher who demonstrated his ideas as inventions that he called "artifacts." Fuller worked as a 'comprehensive anticipatory design scientist' to solve global problems surrounding housing, shelter, transportation, education, energy, ecological destruction, and poverty.
Throughout the course of his life Fuller held 28 patents, authored 28 books, received 47 honorary degrees. And while his most well know artifact, the geodesic dome, has been produced over 300,000 times worldwide, Fuller's true impact on the world today can be found in his continued influence upon generations of designers, architects, scientists and artists working to create a more sustainable planet.
Convinced that the way the world managed its human and material resources needed to be radically rethought, he applied himself to seeking long term, technology-led solutions to some of the most pressing problems of his time, particularly in the fields of building and transport. Despite the groundbreaking inventiveness of so much of his work, it was not until Fuller's large-scale, multifunctional geodesic domes began to appear around the world in the 1950s that he really made his name.
During his life Fuller worked with and influenced such diverse talents as the architect Norman Foster, the sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi and the composer John Cage. Since his death in 1983 the relevance of his radical discoveries, inventions and proposals has been accentuated with the realisation that the world's resources are not infinite and must be handled with the greatest economy and care. Fuller is now cited as an inspiration by equally diverse figures from the industrial designer Marc Newson, to the humanitarian designers who put his ideas into practice in disaster zones all over the world in their work for Architecture for Humanity.

Aims to make 'zero impact running' a reality for Indian consumers, leading equipment's retailer ACME Fitness Systems has introduced a one of its kind technically advance running system to India.
ACME Fitness, one of the leading players in Indian fitness space to bring world class fitness systems from across the globe, has introduced an exclusive Zero Runner training solution, which has been creating rave reviews in USA.
The Zero Runner equipment is manufactured by Octane, the world leader in Elliptical equipment segment.
Delivering the powerful conditioning benefits of running without stressful pounding on the joints, the Zero Runner is the only machine that replicates real running motion without any impact to the body.
Commenting on the need to introduce the product to Indian fitness space, Ramesh L Raja, Founder & Managing Director of Acme Fitness said, "We have never compromised on making quality equipment available and the 'Zero Runner' is yet another example of our continuing commitment. We have been able to distinguish ourselves from the others by making sure that our post sales service is of the highest order to ensure that there is no downtime on any equipment purchased by our customers, where they may have to forego even a day's work out."
The users control their motion throughout their run, and the Zero Runner follows the runner's movement through the initiate, pull-through, lift and extension phases. The resulting mechanism mimics a runner's natural gait without the foot touching the ground, thereby creating no impact at all on the joints like running in the air.
Meanwhile, Dan Codling, Sales Director, Asia Pacific, Octane Fitness said, "The innovative Zero Runner backed by extensive R&D, is the perfect training solution for runners and offers multiple benefits apart from reiterating our position as the world's leading zero impact cardio- vascular equipment makers. We are optimistic that Indian consumers will love the Zero Runner and we expect to garner about 1 per cent of the market in the next 2 years."
The non-motorized elliptical-looking equipment uses mechanical hip and knee joints that replicate human biomechanics in running, with independent pedals allowing runners to replicate their natural running gait, just like outside.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Saturday, March 17th, 2007
Irish Music on St. Patrick's Day
Some of my favorites:
Van Morrison – Brown Eyed Girl
This is a performance on Nightshift circa 1979 of Van Morrison singing Brown Eyed Girl:
Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back In Town
The Boys Are Back In Town, a classic hard rock song from the 70s by Thin Lizzy.
The Undertones – Teenage Kicks
Boomtown Rats – I Don't Like Mondays
I Don't Like Mondays was the Boomtown Rats' biggest hit. Released in 1979–20 years before Columbine–the song was inspired by the January 29, 1979 shooting at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego by 16 year old Brenda Ann Spencer, who killed two men and wounded eight students and a cop. Spencer explained to a reporter, "I don't like Mondays. This livens things up." The Boomtown Rats were lead by Bob Geldoph, who might be more famous for his role as Pink in the screen version of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
U2 – I Will Follow
I Will Follow was U2's first track of their first album, the 1980 release Boy, and their first hit. They had such a unique sound when they first hit the music scene:
The Pogues – Streams Of Whiskey
Flogging Molly – Drunken Lullabies
Sinéad O'Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U
Her first album was fantastic but then she just go progressively weirder and though she had her moments, the music tailed off. Nothing Compares 2 U was from her first album and a huge hit; the song was written by Prince.
Hothouse Flowers – I'm Sorry
The Hothouse Flowers are one of my very favorite bands. I like 'em so much, I'm including two of their videos:
Hothouse Flowers – This Is It
My Bloody Valentine – Realise
The Cranberries – Zombie
Dropkick Murphys – Barroom Hero
The Waterboys – Whole Of The Moon
This is an acoustic version of Whole Of The Moon. I saw them at First Avenue shortly after 9/11 and they apologized for a song of theirs that was critical of America. It makes me sad to think about it because the world was with us back then.
Steve Hogarth – Whole Of The Moon
This is a lovely acoustic version of the song by Marillion's Steve Hogarth:

This is another humbling lesson in tactics for the opponents of President Donald Trump.
"I have no reason to doubt these young women" - Jeff Sessions
"Wish we would have gotten the seat, a lot of Republicans feel differently. They're very happy with the way it turned out." -Donald J. Trump
'Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.' - Sun Tzu
There are a few threads to untangle here, which begin to make a lot of sense when we conside in which philosophical ideas Donald Trump puts faith.
No, not economic or business strategies that have come out of capitalism in the last 250 years, but his underlying beliefs. We can get an insight into this by simply opening up the books Donald Trump has written. Goodreads even compiled a list, but names that should jump out at you are Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Rebecca De Costa. Of course, the lying mainstream media would have you believe that it is possible for Trump to have made billions in construction in New York and around the world while simultaneously being functionally illiterate.
The Supreme Art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. -- Sun Tzu
I Don't think so.
Here's how this pieces together, now we have a little more information about Moore's failure at the box office. It is a given in politics that when you are under attack for whatever reason, you must be twice- no- ten times as visible as you were before. You are in town every day, you are courting the locals, you open a barbershop in the morning and celebrate a Bar-Mitzvah in the afternoon and drink a beer with builders in the evening.
Where was Roy Moore for the last three weeks, while the mainstream media and the liberal lynch-mob accused him of being a pedophile?
Nowhere. Then, he rides into town on a horse, the aging gunslinger going to his last fight. A stunt to appeal to a voting bloc that no longer exists. Where was Jeff Sessions? Have you ever seen a previous occupant of a seat fail to stump for his replacement? No, Sessions did the opposite. He sided with those against Moore. As did many GOP big hitters, as reported by FOX News.
When Roy Moore beat Luther Strange -President Trump's pick, lest we forget- the Senate Leadership Fund Super-Pac said;
"Senator Strange can hold his head high knowing that he played a critical role in cleaning up the corruption in Montgomery, confirming President Trump's choice for the Supreme Court, and strongly supporting the President's priorities on border security and repealing Obamacare. While we were honored to have fought hard for Big Luther, Judge Roy Moore won this nomination fair and square and he has our support, as it is vital that we keep this seat in Republican hands"
When the people of Alabama chose Moore, that was a bad choice for President Donald Trump, for the White House, and for America.
It was a bad choice full stop, given that as soon as the so-called scandal broke, the Republican base of Alabama turned tail and ran away- or at least this will be the Establishment GOP view. Such a huge drop in turnout compared to the Presidential election can surely only be laid at the feet of the voters. they were happy enough to vote for Moore to beat Strange, but suddenly the narrative of sexual abuse is enough to make them stay home?
No, I don't believe that either. The voters did not care about a 40 year old accusation.
Moore broke Alabama Judiciary ethics codes when he felt like it, thanks to his prejudices. He thought 9/11 was a punishment from God for "tolerating sodomy". He breached the First Amendment of the Constitution with his Ten Commandments stunt. President Donald Trump can see how damaging it would be to have a loose cannon like Moore in the Senate. Every day, a new scandal that Sarah Sanders has to bat around with a crooked MSM snake pit.
But this is a what a good candidate looks like, according to some.
Roy Moore was a Bannon Gorka pick- who took the nomination only after Strange was severely undermined by these same two rejects. Bannon pushed Moore in front of the choice of the President because Steve Bannon is a sour-puss. Nothing more. Bannon threw the kitchen sink at Moore's campaign to get the nomination, leaving the far superior Strange to raise funds without the backing of one of the most powerful media moguls on the planet.
The result, predicted by few, should have been a foregone conclusion- Moore would lose to Jones, just as President Trump wanted all along.
The Jones campaign raised five times the funds that Moore's did.
Let that sink in. In Alabama, a pro-abortion Democrat took five times more campaign donations than a Republican Evangelical Christian. That's incredible. There can be no other reason for this than the good people of Alabama seeing a lame-duck, movement damaging candidate in Roy Moore and walking away. This was absolutely the right move, particularly when the DNC has now shot its bolt far too early. Throw Moore into the mix and every Democrat voter in the state will show up ready to grab a torch and pitchfork.
What happens at midterms when a smart, anti-immigration candidate crops up and plasters BUILD THE WALL on his banner? The Democrats will be crushed.
President Donald Trump knows this. The people of Alabama know this. Could you imagine the damage done to Alabama with a year of this gun-toting lunatic in office? It seems only that the dinosaurs of the GOP and the Democrats who persist in somehow believing you can beat President Donald Trump like this.
This is the art of war. When Bannon showed his hand and stumped for Moore, Trump withdrew and waited. Biding his time. He knows that the day of the cowboy politician is over. Roy Moore doesn't care about Making America Great Again- but he was too strong to be removed by force- he had to remove himself, by failure. And President Donald Trump is all too happy to let him do it, and then with a nod to the MAGA Republicans who didn't want Moore in the first place, he tells us what is really going on.
Wish we would have gotten the seat, a lot of Republicans feel differently. They're very happy with the way it turned out. - Donald Trump
That is the genius of President Donald Trump. That's why he is our leader. That's why Sessions did as he was told, and sniped at Moore from Washington.

JC Saves: How I got on top of my credit score
I've been thinking a load about money recently. I'm on quite the savings kick and have been watching my spending, we even made a big purchase with the car. And, I got my very first credit card. And you know, this was quite the achievement. Ever since I moved to the UK I've been battling with this little thing called your credit score.
A credit score basically shows how reliable you are when it comes to credit. It's based on a huge heap of things, from how much you make, how often you don't pay your bills on time, to whether you move house a lot. And what's it used for? Well, when you want some credit, your credit score will usually determine your interest rate. So if you have a low score, your interest rate will be higher, or you won't even be able to get credit at all. If you have a high one then you will hopefully get a low interest rate alongside.
But when I moved to the UK, well I had 0 credit. Yep, nothing. And the main reason was that I had no history in the UK – no spending, no credit, no nothing. I thought this was madness, I had moved to the UK, almost straight into a job with a little bit of savings and absolutely no debt to my name. But despite all this, until I had some proof either way, I would start at the bottom.
And this drove me mad! I couldn't get a bank account as I had no score, so how was I meant to even build one? Eventually, with my grandma in tow, I managed to open one at Halifax, but they wouldn't even give me a proper debit card – only one which allowed me to get cash out, I couldn't even use it online! The same thing happened when I popped over to try and get a phone contract, nope. My phone was in my Grandads name for the first two years I lived here.
It was a pretty long hard slog to then build this score up – after 18 months I had more proof of address so could finally get a proper bank account. Soon after that, I got my first phone contract and could start paying direct debits out of my account. But it's taken me almost 4 years to get my head together and actually get a credit card. To me, I didn't see the point in them, why do I need to spend money I don't have? But in reality, credit cards are the best way to build your credit score – as long as you pay them on time they show you can pay back credit regularly and reliably.
But you know, what I wished was that I had taken some advice on credit scores before now. I recently finally got a credit score check with ClearScore. It's free (which is what has put me off in the past), and it's nice to see that my credit score is finally on the way up. It's not perfect yet, but give it a couple of years and I'm hoping it will be pretty shiny by the time I want a mortgage.
They have a really awesome coaching service too, where you can get advice on how to repair or build your score. I'm using their shape up one at the moment which has been fab to get some advice on some more tweaks to finally build it up even higher. It's fun to use too – it's like you're chatting on iMessage to a friend, full of emojis and gifs. Just what I need to keep me interested!
I'm trying to make more changes now in all of my financial world. It's something that is so easy to ignore, but I've been sorting out credit cards with the best deals. I've been hunting out the best deals to try and decrease my utilities and all of those silly adult bills. I've been devouring articles on Money Saving Expert to try and cut down – which I highly recommend for all those times where something financial is making your brain hurt. Hopefully, with all these changes and my focus on savings – I'll be well on my way to the housing ladder in no time!
I have a few things in the works up my sleeve on this area of money and finance – keep an eye on the blog and more will be revealed in no time!
Do you know your credit score? What are your tips for shaping it up?
*Post written in collaboration with ClearScore, but I only work with brands I really think offer an awesome service – and this is definitely the case!

French Polynesias cruise in the South Pacific
Carbon reduction
Your vacation will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this vacation and how to reduce them.
From 2016 these cruises will be run on a brand new, custom made vessel that will be more fuel efficient, quieter and with less exhaust fumes, while having the capability of carrying even more freight and passengers than before, thus exponentially reducing the resources used in relation to the benefits gained.
The ship employs a crew of local people and as these islands are their home, no one understands better than they do how important preserving the local environment is.
All waste generated on these cruises is disposed of in a responsible manner. As much waste as possible is recycled, and otherwise all non-recyclable waste is brought back for disposal at approved sites.
Almost all the food served on board is fresh, and grown locally, especially the fruit, vegetables and fish. Not only does this put money into the local economy, but it vastly reduces food miles of the produce served on board, and almost all of those food miles are carried on the vessel we are traveling on.
By providing accommodation on board our ship, we are enabling visitors in healthy, but restricted, numbers to visit the islands without overusing the scarce resources available on those islands.
There are few places in the world where the local community relies so heavily on tourism to provide a lifeline to the outside world. The ship is a very unusual blend of freighter, ferry and cruise ship that provides an absolutely vital link to the Marquesas Islands and other parts of French Polynesia, and some of the islands visited have no runway, so this ships is really the only practical way on and off the island. The ship carries freight to the islands, and helps them to export their produce to other islands as we well as further afield.
In addition to the above, by bringing tourists to some of these remote islands the ship is providing an important source of income to the ports she visits and also to some of the enterprises in those ports, including restaurants, craft shops and local tourism businesses.
There is an on board lecturer who, apart from being a great way to fill in time during crossings from one island to another, provides a vast amount of information about the culture and customs of the islands.
Usually the entire crew is Polynesian, either from the Society Islands (Tahiti) or from the Marquesas, which provides employment and income for the islands, but also a great channel of understanding for the passengers, and absolutely vital know-how for the crew, whose intimate knowledge of the area allows the ship to dock in some surprisingly small harbours.
1 Reviews of French Polynesias cruise in the South Pacific
Reviewed on 01 Mar 2018 by William Bainbridge
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The Marquesa Islands are amazing. The cultural shows and dances superb. The 10 mile hike is very worth doing but is not easy.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
If you are booking dormitory accommodation be aware that the top bunks are very confined. They are difficult to get in and out of (particularly if you are over 65) and only have a clearance of about 30 inches.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - as the Aranui is also a cargo ship al locals benefit.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Interesting, but an awful lot of free time. If you are an active person trip tends to be a bit boring at times. Particularly as the gym is not very well equipped.

Cosplay Replay
I just read the article by Siobhan Braun ("Adorable When I Dress Up," January 10), and I would like to extend an invitation to her to go to another cosplay gathering. A handful of us think she has misrepresented the community and I would like to give her an opportunity for another experience with cosplay.
Samantha Houston
via email
4-D Hobby
I was reading the "Adorable When I Dress Up" article (January 10 cover story), and I would like to say it was well-written. Although, as a cosplayer myself, I have to speak up. After reading the article — and I have to be honest here — I felt embarrassed about how the people at that meet acted the day a reporter was around. A few of those people are my friends, but they just left a bad impression. Sorry, guys, but I'm telling the truth. Also, now that I think about it, I believe a more accurate way to write an article about cosplayers, and to truly understand what cosplay is about, is to actually go to a convention (Anime Conji) and interview people there.
Anyhow, what I'm saying here is that a lot of us cosplayers aren't childish and immature. A lot of us hold a job, go to school, and work hard in general, just like anybody else. Cosplay may seem like just some goofy, childish dress-up to people who don't understand it. But for those who have gotten into the hobby, it's art, self-expression, and also something that can form lasting friendships. Yes, true, there are rude, obnoxious, immature people within a cosplay community, but don't all kinds of communities/groups/teams, whether some sort of sport, school setting, workplace, or even cities/towns/neighborhoods, have all those kinds of people too? Those kinds of people are already set in society, not just the cosplay community.
I'm a senior in high school who has been cosplaying since 2010, and I'm very passionate about this hobby. I've gained so much and learned a lot of things about life in general. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for this hobby. I know an average person may not get it but, to put it simply, cosplay is an art. The only difference is that it's in 4-D.
via email
Apologize or Else
I would like to make a complaint about the article that was written about the cosplayers ("Adorable When I Dress Up," January 10). A lot of what was written was false. Obviously, whoever wrote this article does not know what they are talking about. Very, very rude; very biased against people who do this for a living.
I may not have been one of the people mentioned, but this is extremely unacceptable. If you want a lawsuit, you will definitely get one — not just from me, but from the people who were mentioned in said article. I would appreciate it if you wrote letters apologizing to all the people that you greatly insulted in this article. If I don't get any response from you I will continuously call and make complaints, and I will comment on every single article regarding anything about this matter.

Typical San Diego
I was reading the letters last week, laughing at the comedy. These nimrods who couldn't turn a page and find Barbarella cracked me up. Typical San Diego attitude to complain about a free publication. They should read the U-T so Papa Doug and friends can tell them where things are.

Welcome to Jet Set Town, O-Nadi-Ko !
Nadi is where most visitors hear their first BULA and welcome to Fiji. Nadi boasts itself as the main tourist centre of Fiji. The beautiful sceneries, mixed topography accompanied by the clean tropical sunshine and clear blue seas are just some of the attractive features of Nadi. The colourful marketplace, located only a few minutes' drive from the airport, features relaxing yaqona stalls, homemade souvenirs and local culture. Apart from the readily available exotic resorts nearby, Nadi is also the gateway to the Mamanuca Group where you will find exquisite island resorts as well as laid back surfer camps and budget accommodation.
Places to visit in Nadi include Sri Siva Subramaniya, largest Hindu temple in the Southern hemisphere, the Sleeping Giant and orchid gardens. Ferries leave Nadi for the Mamanuca Islands. With its large Indo-Fijian population, Nadi is a centre for Hinduism and Islam in Fiji. Nadi International Airport is located 9 kilometers from the town, is the largest airport in Fiji and is served by Fiji Airways (the international airline of Fiji), Air New Zealand, Pacific Blue, Korean Air and some other domestic airlines such as Pacific Link.
Economic development in the district has grown rapidly over the years and todate Nadi is second only to Suva in terms of economic power base of Fiji. The council with its green and friendly policies have been attracting both local and foreign investors into Nadi in the last years. This investment trend is envisaged to remain and should increase rapidly in years to come. Demands for council services in the extended areas of the towns will see Nadi developing into a city very soon.
Special Administrator Robin K. Ali wants Nadi to be the model of satellite city in the South Pacific and welcome any advice and contributions from the ratepayers and the public at large.
He has led the council by setting benchmarks for opportunities and achievements. His deep understanding of the necessity to think strategically derives from his capacity to have a broad perspective of the problems of the town. Furthermore, the town of Nadi is expanding quickly and finds itself in a transition, which has created many expectations among the population, but not an equivalent change in the conduct of the municipal business. Opportunities are always available for future investments and the door is open for future partnerships with the Nadi Town Council on business venture projects.

1. Write a Simple List
Usually somewhere around 10-20. It can be anything as long as it's interesting and easy to digest. If you have a hobby or a field you know a little something about, chances are you've got a good digg or two.
Examples of this range from The best twenty Mac apps you've never heard of! to 8 things you may not have known about iTunes.
2. Submit a Story About Digg
One thing about Digg and Digg users is that Digg users love Digg and they also love themselves. Naturally.
3. Show Your Unabashed Affection of Kevin Rose
When writing about Digg fails it never hurts to idolize Kevin Rose.
4. Write an Impractical Howto Article
The caveat is that the howto has to be interesting to the point of being totally impractical. The cooler the subject matter and the less likely an average Digg user will attempt it the more likely it will collect lots of diggs.
How about making that bookshelf into a secret door?
5. Rampant Industry Speculation
The end of 2006 and beginning of 2007 turned out to be a really boon year for all kinds of speculation thanks to the next generation of OSes, leopard and vista. Another popular one is the still mythical iPhone".
Of course it never hurts to include a little gratuitous Micro$oft bashing. If you're going to post false stories, they should be almost believable and accompanied with Photoshopped mockups.

Arad's mark is clear and vibrant on the fuselage, and an OP11 unit (sold separately) can be inserted to light up the nozzles!

IT Crowd – Intro & Extras
The intro for the British comedy series IT Crowd. I'm not really sure who made the intro, but the pixelartstyle is done really nicely, as well as the "error"-effect.
The DVD has awesome extras in its menus. This is the first Season DVD extra, which resemble those old isometric adventure games. Love the remix chiptune intro!
The second season has some parodies of games we all know. This one is done by the British Studio CHASE.

George Bryant, Civilized Caveman
"I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how very thankful I am that you are on our team. When we began our search for a marketing firm, we wanted someone who is hard working, has great ideas, a strong business sense (of our and yours), and integrity, and really just 'gets it,' you impressed us on day one, and you have truly surpassed our expectations as a marketing partner ever since. Thank you so much, Vanessa and I feel so blessed to have you on our team."
— Dr. Day
"Christie and the team and Thrive Marketing have helped us not only identify new lead sources, but also how we can then turn those leads into new revenue sources. Our pipeline of leads increased by more than 100% as a result of their analysis and a few tweaks to how we were doing things…
…I hope you know how very much I appreciate working with you. You have done amazing things to help us turn around, and in many cases, start marketing efforts that are helping us turn NSA in a new direction. I appreciate your ideas, thoughts, and implementation of so many things…about this business to make it run more effectively. Here's to another year of doing great things for NSA!!! With tons of gratitude…"

Christie's contributions have renewed our staff's marketing motivation and created a focus on execution that I know will result in significant long-term success for NSA."

"Working with Christie and the Thrive Marketing Team has been one of the better decisions I have made as a business owner. Christie helped me to think outside of the box when it comes to marketing. Her strategy-first-tactics-second approach was exactly what I needed as I was building and growing my business. She helped me slow down and focus on my strategy without getting caught up in the minute details of it all.
She encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone to try some new approaches to my marketing strategies. That push was exactly what I needed and it has encouraged me to start working on some really exciting projects that I know I would otherwise have said no to.
Christie always had all of my questions answered right away and her help was crucial in assisting me with implementing a lot of my Infusionsoft projects. She and her team were able to help me to finally feel comfortable using Infusionsoft and all of it's services it has to offer.
Thrive Marketing has definitely made all of the difference in my business. They gave me a new excitement as I see all of the opportunities in front of me."
— Kim M., Coach and Author

— Aaron W., PEO / HR Outsourcing Company
"Our website used to be hard to navigate, took too long to load, and had all the content embedded into graphics so the search engines couldn't read it. Since hiring Thrive Marketing, our website is more usable, has relevant, educational and search engine-friendly content, and best of all, produces new customer leads. I'm also very excited about our latest project, a direct mail campaign which has produced amazing returns. They are gifted marketers and I'm glad they're our partner!"

Thrive far exceeded our expectations with the production schedule and designed an appealing, easy-to-navigate web site. Their personal attention to detail and thorough consultation ensured an enhanced brand image that carries throughout all our printed materials too.

We are excited to have Thrive continue to consult us as we work toward building a more profitable business."

— Amy G., Dance Education Company
"We knew for quite a while that we would need to redo our website, but kept putting it off. We were already using Thrive Marketing for another project and decided to see what they could do to make our website better. They gave us some suggestions, showed us a couple different layouts and we were able to give them some ideas of what we were looking for – which produced a great website! We all worked as a team throughout the whole process. It was a great experience and we look forward to working with them on other marketing endeavors in the future."

On The Convict Trail

Queen Adelaide Inn
The Queen Adelaide Inn began life as a comfortable 4 roomed brick cottage that was built by James Sly, a bootmaker, in the mid 1840's. By 1853, it had been purchased at public auction by George Pollock for the sum of 500 pounds.
By 1856, Pollock had applied for a license to convert the building into a public house. His submission included a respectably signed petition in support of the application, arguing that another pub was needed in the area to service the populous neighbourhood that was growing around the area and concluded that his premises was around a quarter of a mile from any other licensed premises.. His application won approval by the narrow margin of 10 to 8 votes.
Later that year, Pollock sold the Queen Adelaide Inn to Mary Ann Beck, a widow. The role of publican was one of the few occupations available to women during this time but it still had its occupational hazards to go along with the work. And Mary Ann Beck was no exception as she was very soon to discover.
Around 9pm on July 29th 1858, two ticket of leave men entered the Queen Adelaide Inn and ordered a half pint of rum from Mrs Beck. When she went to get the rum, one of the men followed her behind the counter and drew a small pistol from his pocket. Mrs Beck immediately screamed and ran out into the street to get assistance from her neighbors. By the time Mrs Beck and her neighbors returned to the Inn, the two men had disappeared. However, justice would come very quickly for Mrs Beck as within a month, the culprit had been arrested, sent to trial, convicted and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for the crime of unlawfully presenting a pistol.
Ultimately the Queen Adelaide Inn was located on a street (Adelaide Street) that never carried through traffic and so probably struggled to generate enough income to justify the business. It was considered a strange place to establish a pub. By the late 1860's, the Queen Adelaide Inn had ceased to be licensed and the building was ultimately split into two separate dwellings and rented out.
The building still remains to this day in South Hobart and appears to be undergoing a major renovation. Fantastic that the place has managed to survive for all these years.

This ld Duty stamp was the first stamp to be produced in Brisbane following the decision to surface-print stamps from electrotype plates. It appeared in mid-l878 and was followed in 1879 by the ld, 2d and 4d postage stamps. Two ld dies were supplied by William Bell, of Sydney, one for the Duty stamp and one for a postage stamp. William Knight, the Chief Engraver of the Lithographic Branch, who was responsible for stamp production, manufactured the printing plates.
A.F. Basset Hull, in Vindin's Philatelic monthly, 20 February 1894, wrote regarding the die for this Duty stamp: "From this die Mr Knight prepared 120 electros, arranged in 12 horizontal rows of 10 stamps." Ever since, writers have assumed, quite wrongly, that 120 separate electros were used for the printing plate.
A.F. Basset Hull, in Vindin's Philatelic monthly, 20 February 1894, wrote regarding the die for this Duty stamp: "From this die Mr Knight prepared 120 electros, arranged in 12 horizontal rows of 10 stamps." Ever since, writers have assumed, quite wrongly, that 120 separate electros were used for the printing plate.
A study of this stamp shows that, just as for the postage stamps which followed, William Knight used a working die of a "group of four" to produce 30 electros to form the plate of 120 subjects.
This fact was first suggested in Australian Colonials, No. 6 of November 1986. Help was requested to corroborate the findings and to formalise the positions of the four types. Since then numerous letters have been sent to collectors of Queensland, all to no avail. This article, then, is written with the aim of presenting the findings to a wider audience and in the hope of finalising the type positions within the "group of four". All that is required is the finding of a stamp with side marginal line watermark and its correct typing.
Study has shown that this stamp fell into four types, which for now may be called A, B, C and D. In the Australia Post archival collection are several plate proofs of this 1d Duty stamp - a horizontal strip of three, a vertical strip of three and three singles, all in a very pale brown colour; also several singles in violet, near to the issued colour. The horizontal strip comprised Types D—C—D, and the vertical strip Types C—B—C. Since then a block of eight has been acquired (two vertical columns of four). This further confirmed the positioning of the types.
The only marginal line watermarks so far seen are two Type D's in the writer's collection. These are from the bottom row.
When the two strips of three are positioned together, we get the types laid out as in the diagram below. If the usual type layout is followed of I and II over Ill and IV then, with Type D occurring on the bottom row, this type must be either III or IV, and similarly so must Type C. It therefore follows that the "group of four" is either AB over DC or BA over CD, and all we need now to complete the picture is that elusive left or right side marginal line watermarked stamp.
There are several original die flaws which occur on all stamps seen to date. These flaws, together with the generally poor quality of these stamps may well have helped to hide the type flaws of the "group of four" working die, leading them to remain undetected until this time. On the other hand, it may be due to the general lack of interest in Duty stamps.
Since the original article, the descriptions of the flaws has been revised for greater clarity and is now presented as follows:
(i) Break in lower frame between "E" of "ONE" and "P" of "PENNY".
(ii) Cross on top of crown extends up through, but not above, the top frame. The left arm is well—formed and the right arm more defined than in the other types.
(iii) Both top frame corners have almost square notches in them.
(i) Left frame is split centrally near the top for 1 to 1.5rmn. Hidden when overinked.
(ii) Top left frame corner has slight upward projection.
(i) The small solid triangle in the lower right corner is badly misshapen and joins the bottom frame.
(ii) Top right corner of frame is notched, but not as squarely as in Type A.
(iii) Centre of top left spandrel design is broken, leaving a dot to the right.
This has no good distinguishing flaw. However, apart from the absence of the flaws of the other types, one minor flaw is worth mentioning:
(i) May have a small white pimple on the top of the "P" of "STAMP". ;
(i) Break in the upper outer line of the top right spandrel, sometimes inked over.
(ii) Break in the inner line of the value tablet at lower left, where the angled line joins the horizontal line.
(iii) A swelling of the horizontal line below the left leg of the "N" of "ONE".
(iv) 4-5mm long hairline attached inside the right frame line, from the lower right corner upward.
In June 1994 of the same journal, on p. 39, he provided this update:
The final chapter relating to the type layout of the "group of four" of the working die used for the production of the electros for the plate, may now be written.
Within weeks of the article on this stamp appearing in the December 1993 Philately from Australia, the writer made a lucky acquisition of some 50 of these stamps. This contained three stamps with the elusive side marginal line watermark — a right side single and a left side vertical pair.
The types as described in the December 1993 article are now known to be:
Type I Type B
Type II Type A
Type HI Type C
Type IV Type D
These are now illustrated.
