Calligraphy is a gorgeous artform that is reminiscent of the good old days of letter writing, roaring twenties cocktail parties and glass chandeliers. It gives the recipient a feeling of worth, that they are special, because of the personal touch it adds, and because the amount of work that goes into calligraphy is instantly noticable. I offer calligraphy services from small placecards to big signs, as listed in more detail below. If you have a special request, or idea, please do not hesitate to contact me! I would love to see what I can do for you!
Types of Calligraphy
Before diving into the different services I offer, I would like to elaborate on the types of calligraphy that are out there, and the different functions it can hold. At present, I offer two types, or hands, of calligraphy:
My version of Copperplate, a style that is considered a little more formal. It is great for weddings with a traditional or formal theme, but is definitely also appropriate for themes with a more modern touch. It immediately shows the importance of the document in front of you. Also great for written vows, or quotes that hold a significant importance to you and your family.
This Modern Calligraphy script, considered a little more whimsical, will immediately put a smile on your guests' faces! The fun, bouncy letters give the impression that the wedding, though beautiful and elegant, is a little more informal. This is a great style for outdoor weddings, country/rustic weddings, or weddings with a strong botanical touch. Also great for quotes to put around the house, that are meant to get some laughter from visitors.
Envelope Calligraphy
Your wedding invitations are some of the most important paper items you will send out in your lifetime. Your invitees should instantly know that they don't have just a normal letter in their hands, that this is something special. Handwritten calligraphy on the envelope will instantly tell your guests of the importance of your event, and create a feeling of excitement and curiosity. We offer some different options on the addressing of your envelopes (starting from $2.50 per envelope):
As an alternative to centered addressing, this style creates "steps" in the address, by starting every consecutive line a little further to the right. It adds a little whimsical touch to your envelope, which. This can be great, for instance, to soften the formality of Copperplate calligraphy.
Day-of Calligraphy Items
I offer various different day-of calligraphy items to make your wedding day or event even more special, from small, intricate details like placecards to big, eye-catching items like welcome signs. Below listed are options for various day-of paper items, but if you have other questions or ideas for items to make your day even more special, please contact me through the contact form.
Place cards
Whether folded, placed in a fold of the napkin, or written on a small tile, place cards can really add to your day. Place cards tell a guest where they are expected to sit. Adding place cards can be very helpful for a number of reasons. You can avoid an awkward dinner where there are empty chairs at the table. Or where exes or enemies have to sit together. Or where groups of friends just clique together, leaving other guests feel left out.
However you want to incorporate place cards in your wedding, we would love to create them for you. Get creative! I love to help with custom orders so please inquire if you want to do something special (starting at $1.75 per card).
Escort Cards
Escort cards essentially have the same purpose as place cards (see above), but with one exception. They usually sit on a table at the front of the reception venue and direct the guests to their table. Escort cards can come in different forms: traditional folded paper cards, on tiles, clipped to strings hanging on the wall, the possibilities are endless!
However you want to incorporate escort cards in your wedding, we would love to create them for you. Get creative! I love to help with custom orders so please inquire if you want to do something special (starting at $1.75 per card).
Table Signs (Bar/Buffet/Menu)
These signs are great for letting people know what they can find behind or near the sign. They are used for buffets and sweet/dessert tables in an informative way, but at a bar they can be used to add a fun little saying, adding to the decoration. Also think about adding menu signs on the dinner table, as an alternative to individual menus (starting at $20 a piece).
Bride/Groom cards
Bride and Groom cards are among the latest trends in weddings. They come as a set and are meant for a personal note to your future spouse on the wedding day. You and your loved one can read them in private, or out loud in public, incorporated in the ceremony. Bride and groom cards add a personal touch to your wedding day (starting at $12.50 per card).
Signs/Seating Charts
Welcome signs and seating charts have made their way into weddings, and they are here to stay! I offer signs of all different sizes on all different mediums, among which wood, cardboard or canvas (starting at $97.50 for 50 guests).
Custom Pieces
Have a great idea for your wedding or event, but don't see it in the options above? We love to help with custom orders so please inquire if you want to do something special.
Are you ready to see what I can do for you? Please contact me through this form to start chatting. I cannot wait to hear all about it!

20 Years Gluten-Free and Counting
Whenever this time of year rolls around, I get this feeling. It's the feeling that I'm forgetting something like a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion. It just so happens that this year the feeling is especially strong and I remember what's coming. June 13.
On the 13th, I will be celebrating 20 years of gluten-freedom and the day that was literally life changing. Not only did my diagnosis with celiac disease save my life, but it changed it as well.
After giving birth to my healthy baby boy, Cole, my body fell apart and I displayed the classical celiac symptoms – weight loss, fatigue, vomiting, depression, and weakness. I wasn't even able to climb stairs or turn a faucet.
Eventually, I was hospitalized, had a small bowel biopsy, and a positive diagnosis. With Dave holding my hand and Cole in my arms, Dr. Dalke described celiac as a "rare" disease affecting 1 in 2,500 people. Dave whispered, "I knew you were special but not that special." Turns out, I'm not really that special with 1 in 133 people living with celiac disease. But I was lucky and the gluten-free diet renewed my health, energy, and disposition.
Usually on special anniversaries, gifts are in order. On my special anniversary, I'd like to share a few of many exceptional gifts I've received over the years as a result of my diagnosis.
One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is learning to cook well. You'll never go hungry and you'll always have friends.
Learning to cook from scratch was a challenge, but I loved the process. Before gluten-free products were everywhere and labels read "GF," I learned to season with fresh herbs, spices and pure ingredients to make sauces and dressing from scratch. I learned which herbs and spices produce which flavors and enhance certain foods. My spice cupboard is more like a pantry!
Hosting dinner parties and sharing meals with friends and family gives me a chance to show that gluten-free doesn't have to be horrible, difficult, or medicinal. Clean, fresh, pure and easy are my approaches to cooking. Hostess tips include set a beautiful table, involve guests, and have plenty of wine.
My two gal pals, Jill and Mary, also have celiac disease. These great women have my back in crisis, tragedy, sickness, and gluten episodes. They share my frustration over gluten-free labeling, restaurant mishaps, and family dynamics. We celebrate the GREAT gluten-free life over amazing dinners, annual holiday cookie baking, and family milestones. I cherish them.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.: Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors
May 24, 2001
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the release of new multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs). The new Vishay Vitramon VJ0612 MLCCs, which typically feature half the inductance level seen in standard capacitors, will be used for high-frequency decoupling and bypass in laptop and desktop computers. The low-profile, very thin outline package (VTOP) of the VJ0612 series allows designers to place the new capacitors underneath ICs, requiring less board space in the final design and reducing circuit trace lengths and parasitic losses. Vishay's VJ9743, VJ9742, VJ9741 and VJ9740 each measure 0.063 by 0.126 in., with maximum thickness options of 0.020, 0.026, 0.028 and 0.030 in., respectively. The chip is designed to reduce AC noise in multi-chip modules.
Vishay can be found online at http://www.vishay.com.

The Outlaw X7 system is powered by ZEISS VIVX lenses and are certified to be a perfect optical instrument. The front bar has been taken out of the frame so the visual site picture is unmatched. The shooter is presented with an unobstructed view without any imperfection or visual disruption. The Carbon Fiber temple design allows for extremely quick changing of the lens technology to maximize the performance of the product in any lighting condition.
Each kit comes with 1 frame + a pre-selected combination of lens filtration options below:
Progressive Enhanced Definition
This lens offers consistent enhancement
of the color spectrum while the bottom
accelerates the perceptive value of light.
The top of the lens has a transmittance
of 22% with the bottom having a transmittance
of 78%. A filter blend of Amber
and Maze.
Progressive Max
Max Orange Filtration Technology accelerates
the registration of target Orange
throughout the transmittance curve from
top to bottom: 30% at the top while the
bottom of the lens provides up to 70%. A

VARIABLE COLOR FILTRATION Progressive VIVX is a proprietary lens technology engineered by Pilla with lenses by Zeiss. The lens science provides shooters with three distinct advantages: enhanced depth of field, variable color filtration, and "live" light management.
This new lens science introduces variable color filtration utilizing multiple spectral color curves in the same lens. This variation in filtration and light transmission allows the eye to perform at its maximum focal potential while allowing for increased color saturation.
The result is enhanced target registration, crisp vision at distance, and higher resolution sight pictures, all while providing the shooter the ability to change light transmittance to tune brightness immediately.
Progressive VIVX is currently available in 4 new lens technologies: Progressive Neutralizer "PN", Progressive Max "PM", Progressive Enhanced Definition "PED", and Progressive Lemon "PL".

During her first trip to the West Coast in 2007, Meredith Graves discovered the genius of Kool Keith. After an introduction made by a "financial dominatrix," Graves combed through the iconic rapper's extensive discography, listening to classics like Dr. Octagonologyst, and especially connecting to the iconic rapper's 1999 masterpiece Black Elvis/Lost in Space her junior year of college. Finding solace in Keith's deconstruction of late-'90s rap, Graves, who is now the frontwoman of New York clamor-punk act Perfect Pussy, was inspired by his analytical critique of the hip-hop's empty excess, and related to Keith's blatant disregard for structure. "I get lost in his delivery," explains Graves from her home in Syracuse, New York, "and how he always ends up wrapping things up. Some of his songs have these amazing hooks, but he doesn't really care for continuity. Everything can fall apart in a moment and that's also okay." Like Black Elvis/Lost in Space, Perfect Pussy—whose performance at NYU's E&L Auditorium last December saw the New York Times calling them "the next crucial punk band to know about"—and their debut album, Say Yes to Love, share similar traits of bedlam and perspective to Black Elvis, albeit way noisier, way more feminist and, well, a bit more punk. Debuting today off Captured Tracks, the 23-minute LP boasts an onslaught of lyrical distortion and unconstrained noise rock as seen on the band's latest video "I" off their 2013 demo, I Have Lost All Desire For Feeling. In a recent conversation with Graves earlier this month, we spoke candidly about the bands unexpected rise to fame, dealing with anxiety onstage when you're shy, and why comparing musicians to other musicians is basically the worst thing a music journalist can do.
Has the amount of attention you've received felt surreal?
It's crazy. It's nothing I ever expected. I don't think I'm doing very well with it as I've come to realize in the last week or two. I needed a reality check and I definitely got one.
When you say reality check, what do you mean?
The last couple of weeks have been really intense periods of a lot of foo foo-looking interior lies about the experience and how strange it's gotten and how happy I am. It's led to me to a lot of realizations about myself and how I feel about this experience and how I feel about the world. And it's nice because we've been moving around so much. Even this last month that we've had "off," I've been in a different city every two days just doing stuff. It feels good to have a renewed sense of purpose and a certain clarity of vision.
Has this experience given you a new perspective on fame?
It's definitely given me a new perspective on how people interact with the world. I want everyone to live exactly the way they want to as long as they aren't hurting themselves or other people, but I think I understand a little better where I fall in that. It's helped me come to a clearer understanding of myself in relation to other people, which is something I've always had trouble with because I'm a very lonely, very isolated person. I've never felt like socializing was my strong suit. Now I have a better sense of it.
Does it feel good to go into yourself, so to speak, and face the things that have inhibited you?
It doesn't really feel good, but it doesn't have to feel good. If I wanted to do something that would make me feel good, I would go drink a beer and make out with somebody. But the self-actualization process doesn't always have to feel good. In fact, it can be really uncomfortable. It's learning to sit with your discomfort and do something constructive with it. There's no sense in saying, 'Look at me, I'm so great for understanding myself.' It's like, no. You have to move forward and actually walk the walk. So I have about two more days of pajamas and then I'm out walking the walk.
Growing up in the suburbs, I remember how good it felt the first time I left. Do you remember how you felt when you first left your town and went out on the road?
I've been in touring bands since I was 19, so I've actually toured the country a lot. This band is a completely different experience because I never thought I would be a person singing in a band. The last band I was in I played guitar and sang, but that was different. This band I feel like I'm pushing myself to do things that are way out of my comfort zone. It's a new world even though I've seen it before.
You obviously love music, but you also love fashion and theater. Do you feel like they ever intersect?
Oh, yeah. Being in a band is theater. I get up on stage every night and it's not just singing the same songs that I've written. I'm actually physically performing what I'm going through. I'm actually sort of performing it like an actress performs a character. It's very honestly me, which is more draining because I'm forcing myself to be present in myself every night.
Where does theater stand next to fashion and music? Do they all hold the same weight?
I love everything. I have about 97 hobbies and they all intersect and I try not to privilege any one of them over the other. Like now I'm doing more music-type stuff, but all it's really leading me to do is to want to do other stuff. I love writing. I love photography. I do so many things and I'm not very good at them, but I genuinely enjoy them all. And since most of the hobbies I love, I love to do on my own, I can bring them on the road with me…so I'm never bored. I'm crazy. If I'm not always working on a million things I get really depressed and really anxious.
You mentioned writing a moment ago. The other day I was reading an essay you wrote on Kool Keith's Black Elvis/Lost in Space. What was it about that album that impacted you so much?
I was introduced to Kool Keith by this woman I met the first time I travelled to the West Coast like six or seven years ago with my first serious boyfriend. He introduced me to this friend of his who was a professional dominatrix. She was a financial dominatrix which is a highly specified line of work. She was extremely assertive. I wanted to get my haircut, for instance, and I was too scared to go into the salon—I've always been shy. She barged me into the salon and was like, 'Cut this girls hair,' and when we were talking she said she danced on stage with Kool Keith and that she was in Kool Keith's top eight on Myspace back in 2007. I had heard Dr. Octagonecologyst [Kool Keith's 1996 debut album] before, but of everything in his discography, I loved Black Elvis/Lost in Space because it encompassed a lot of the characters he had been developing up to that point. It's so funny.
I've heard bits and pieces of the album, but not the whole thing. Isn't Black Elvis/Lost in Space about Kool Keith's dislike of early '90s rap?
It is. I love how open he is about his complete disenfranchisement with the culture surrounding him. I think a lot of people try to make critiques about hip-hop and rap culture and it's not their place, so it's cool to hear Kool Keith turn around say, 'I'm going to dissect hip hop and talk about why it's so problematic.' His critiques aren't like other peoples. He completely eviscerates what was surrounding him at the time, which was Courvoisier, fur coats, fancy cars. It was an interesting point in American musical culture and he looks at it and says, 'Why are you standing in the club talking on a cellphone that doesn't work? Why do you roll up in a Benz that is rented?' His critique is so on point He dissects what he sees around him in a way that's so genius that nine songs later he wraps about working at a cellphone kiosk in the mall. I dissolve so much into his music.
Do you enjoy writing about music?
Sort of. My favorite magazine has always been Maximum Rocknroll – I've been reading it since I was 12. But some of the people that review records for Maximum lived for that punk thing of, 'I know more about music than everybody else.' The only way you can review music is by saying it sounds like this band, then you get the fucking record and it doesn't sound anything like that. I want to hear, 'I listened to this record and it made me go out into my garage and eat half a box of ho hos and smash stuff.' That will get me to listen to a record. I think there needs to be a shift in music writing. Actually, no. I think everyone should be able to write about whatever they want, but I would like to see more people writing about music that write about it differently. I just want to hear about how the record made you feel.
In terms of feelings, earlier you talked about being a shy person. When you're onstage is it easy for you to perform and disconnect from your anxiety?
Performing and theater is a job and I take it very seriously. I know what I have to do when I'm onstage. There are times when you kind of have to show up and punk doesn't take sick days. I can't not go to someone's house and play a sweaty, disgusting show in their basement to a bunch of excited people because my feelings are hurt. You don't get to take a day off. Music is bigger than that. Doing this is a constant reminder that everything in the world is bigger than me. It makes you feel so small to get onstage every night and know that all these people in the room are paying attention to your voice.
Do you feel like that the band has become bigger than you envisioned?
I never really envisioned anything for it. I'm kind of notorious for having no expectations for things. I do things because they're entertaining and that gets me into a lot of trouble. I run towards experiences I've never had before, no matter how stupid they might be. So going into this with no expectations, I can't really speak to how I feel about how it's going. I think it's interesting and I'm still not quite sure why it's happening.
I think doing things because they're new is important.
I'm totally terrified of everything. I came to this realization a year ago during the summer. I went through a really bad breakup. That was the moment when I was like, you kind of have to go out into the world and say yes to everything or else you're going to stay pissed off forever. The first big decision I made was to stop being afraid of meaningful relationships with people. That was when I committed to being violently honest and trying to develop relationships because I realized that at any moment, I can lose what I'm holding. That's why you have to say yes to absolutely everything. I refuse to die bored.
Does everyone else in the band share this similar view?
Everyone in this band is brilliant. Everyone in this band has varied, really intense views of the way life should be lived. I'm working with the smartest, kindest group of men that I've ever known in my life. They're so good, I think this band has pushed everyone to that point where were all in this place where we'll say yes to anything. Yeah, we'll put our album out on this label. Yeah, we'll do this music video. Yeah we'll go to Europe. We'll do whatever opportunities are afforded us because for us, it's like a dream world. We're nobody from nowhere. We want to have this experience because we know that it's going to be over tomorrow.

When YouTube randomly serves you up a pre-roll ad, the five second wait before you can skip to your video feels like an eternity. But a Providence-based ad agency called Nail might have come up with a pre-roll ad that no one in their right mind would dare skip—lest they electrocute an innocent puppy. (Okay, not really. We... think).
Oddly enough, the ad doesn't seem to be selling anything other than the ad agency itself, who will actually be making a charitable donation to the ASPCA for everyone who doesn't hit skip. So you can feel less bad about having your heart strings tugged and feeling manipulated. [YouTube via Taxi]

Another week another word.
The verb: Ancora [ˈankora]
What does it mean? There is actually a few translations for ancora in English, it depends on the context. It can mean – still, again, yet and even.
Why is it my word of the week? Today some of my students were learning the present perfect tense (e.g. Have you done your homework yet?). Naturally this led me to learn the use of ancora. There is a little difficulty for Italian speakers to learn it as it doesn't exactly exist in Italian. The same applies to English speakers. If you would like to know more about the differences between the present perfect in Italian and English, look here.
Here are some useful phrases.
Ancora a lungo – still for some time.
Ancora una volta – yet again/once more/once and again.
Ancora, di nuovo – do over again.
La strada è ancora lunga (idiom) – there is still much to do.
Il meglio deve ancora arrivare – the best is yet to come.
Un capitolo ancora tutto da scrivere – that chapter has yet to be written.
Hope this has been helpful….until next time.
Lorena 🙂

The Readerplates app itself is a free download from the iTunes store. To make use of it, however, requires a $9.99/month subscription. No long term commitment is implied, and you can cancel any time. This isn't a bad price, and certainly competitive with the rest of the field. A bargain really as far as aviation goes---that's two gallons of 100LL---especially, if you consider that the $9.99 price hasn't changed since the days of the Sony Reader, and with the iPad app you get VFR and IFR charts to to boot.
The downloads page is organized by region, as opposed to by state, a practice that I wish more app developers would follow.
I fly around the northeast and mid-atlantic a lot. That means remembering to check off 14 states with most apps---ME, NH, VA, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV---with Readerplates that's a one tap affair.
Readerplates is dedicated to reproducing government charts---AF/D, Terminal Procedures, VFR and IFR charts as they are. And they take a pretty literal approach. For example, calling up an airport gives you a page with a few buttons:
Tap on the A/FD Page button, and you get exactly what you expect:
Tap on the "A/FD Supplemental" or "Legends and General Info" button, and you get the corresponding pages:
Specify an airport and tap the "Arrival," "Approach," "Diagram," or "Departure" buttons, and you get the appropriate page:
One really nice touch is that ReaderPlates goes to the trouble of removing the extraneous margins on each page. This is more of a benefit for devices with smaller screens, but it's nice for a plate display to use every pixel of available screen space. It even provides a button to display the appropriate page if the airport has alternative minimums. The additional information like supplemental or legend information is often not found in other iPad plate viewers, and sets ReaderPlates apart from the pack.
ReaderPlates dedication to reproducing FAA/NACO data in full extends to its somewhat idiosyncratic chart display. Basically, ReaderPlates displays charts individually, in their original format, rather than attempt to stitch them together in one large chart. The chart view presents itself literally as a stack of overlapping paper charts. Double tap on one, and it "activates" that chart. And of course, you can zoom in on any given section using the usual iPad gestures:
One nice benefit of this is that all of the margin data that is usually lost with iPad based chart apps are all there allowing you to view useful data about things like restricted areas:
IFR charts basically work in the same way:
And of course, it allows you to use the internal GPS of appropriately equipped iPads to display the current position (with all the usual caveats about the iPad GPS).
I'm not sure how I feel about this approach to chart display. On the one hand it is less "clean" than the more conventional method of stitching together charts, and it does require you to navigate from one "map" to the next. On the other hand, it provides you with potentially valuable information that other iPad apps leave out. And to be sure, the more "conventional" method of stitching together charts is not without its problems, either:
At the seams, text is clearly truncated, sometimes obscuring valuable info. So if one's objective is to have a real replica of the paper charts, ReaderPlates will do it better than the competition.
Finally, reader plates add some nice touches like "In View" which will list all airports, VORs NDBs, Waypoints currently on the screen for easy selection:
The tabs on the right hand side of the screen is a nice way to organize the relevant info for a given flight. And since the screen of the iPad doesn't dim very far even in the lowest setting, the screen inversion feature can be useful at night, though it admittedly works better with IFR charts.
Bottom line, ReaderPlates doesn't do weather, it doesn't do flight planning or filing, it doesn't provide airport data beyond that contained in the AF/D. But, it is dedicated to doing one thing and one thing well: giving you an exact replica of FAA/NACO charts, plates and AF/D---something most other apps do not. So it's really trying to do something different.
Do I like the wiz-bang features of the other iPad apps? Absolutely. Do I like what ReaderPlates does? Sure. I keep both Foreflight and Readerplates on my iPad. The full featured ForeFlight is generally more useful, but sometimes only an exact replica of the real paper thing will do.

Many people, including perhaps some Two-Penny readers, know very little about what scientists do. Frankly, I'm not sure I can claim to know, and I used to be one. (Well, I was a science student and lab assistant. That counts, right?) Well, now there's a website called LabLit.com that helps illuminate the mysterious lives of scientists. In addition to essays by and profiles of numerous working scientists, they also highlight realistic portrayals of scientists in the arts (novels, film, etc.).
I haven't had a chance to explore much of this site yet, but I've liked what bits I've read so far. I'd particularly like to point out this profile/interview of a mathematician who offered some advice to the creators of Numb3rs, which is currently my favorite show on television. (I wish I'd watched the first half of the season, but I'm sure I can find a way to remedy that.)
I suspect, and this interview seems to confirm, that the math on Numb3rs is real math. It certainly helps that I've heard of at least a few of the types of analyses they talk about. Now if only I could figure out what they mean. The show definitely makes me wish I'd done more math (although perhaps at a slower pace than my college math classes).
Numb3rs airs Fridays at 10 pm Eastern on CBS. I encountered LabLit.com via Science Magazine's NetWatch.

Care and Planting Instructions
When all danger of frost is past, transfer plants outside in a sunny location, spacing 12-18″ apart, in rows 12-18″ apart in moderate, loose, medium moisture, well-drained soil. Sensitive to frost. Prefers a warm, sunny location although will tolerate some light afternoon shade. A good choice for a patio container. Plant height 24-36″.
For best results, consistent and regular moisture throughout the growing season is required. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushy growth. Rarely blooms, but when if does it attracts butterflies to the garden.
Basil, Greek Columnar
ocimum basilicim var.
Greek Columnar Basil is named for its unique growth habit. While reaching 3′ tall, it only grows 10″ across resulting in a stately columnar appearance. It is one of the stronger-flavored basils, good for stews and hearty dishes in modest amounts. Greek Columnar Basil is not the best basil variety for pesto. There are overtones of cinnamon in its aroma. Greek Columnar Basil has smaller leaves and an upright habit, and is late to bloom.
Basil is an easy herb to grow as long as you observe several important rules:
- Don't plant it too early in the spring.
- Wait until the night temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees F. It will tolerate lower temperatures, but it will not thrive and can have real trouble bouncing back from an extended cool period.
- If you notice dark spots forming on the leaves, it may be caused by cold water from the hose. Try watering in the cool of the day to remedy this problem.
A light harvesting of leaves may begin after plants have become established. It is best done in the early morning when the temperature is cooler, and the leaves are less likely to wilt. Full harvest should be done just before plants start to flower. Cut the entire plant 4″-6″ above the ground to promote a second growth. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle with care. Store Basil above 50 degrees F. after harvest. If exposed to temperatures lower than 50 degrees F, basil can suffer from cold damage. Use a separate cooler space for cut basil, where you can control the temperature, or store in a cool, dark place.
If properly cleaned, basil seed can be stored successfully. First allow seed heads to dry on plant, then remove and collect the seeds. Store in a container in a cool, dry place.

Getting Started with Web ForwardingWhat is Web Forwarding and Masking
Web Forwarding has the advantage of making multiple sites look like a single site. You can register misspellings, alternate extensions (e.g., .biz, .net, etc.) and / or abbreviations and then forward them to your primary website.
Web Forwarding with masking, means that visitors to your website will only see the domain name (or URL) they typed in the address bar of their browser, not the domain name where you have forwarded them. With masking activated, visitors aren't aware that they are being sent to a different website, regardless of where they are within your website.
You can turn your Web Forwarding masking feature on or off at any time through Account Manager.

At some point in life, everyone feels they have a photographer inside them. People quit their run-of-the-mill jobs to become the next Ansel Adams. Some might actually be talented, while others... not so much. Here are the 7 phases every wannabe photographer goes through:
This one is more common in girls than in guys. For some strange reason, girls click innumerous pictures of their feet. The group pictures of their friends consist of flip flops, stilettos, sneakers and the like.
We all know someone who ALWAYS takes pictures of food. It makes sense if you're having something absolutely brilliant everyone needs to see(a panda shaped cake maybe?) but no one cares about those leftover fries, seriously.
Suddenly, you start seeing the whole world in Black and White. You even capture the most colorful of situations in black and white. At this point, color starts hurting your eyes and people start worrying about you.
Congratultions! You've learned how to use Photoshop. But, that does not mean you have to edit everything! Many a times people spoil perfectly good pictures by over-editing.
The only difference between most "self-portraits" and "selfies" is that the former is clicked with a DSLR. Everyone goes through a little self-obsession. So, self-portrait to the rescue since it is a respectable form of a selfie.
So, you've finally learnt to toy around with shutter speed. Does that mean you should go overboard and annoy your friends with the 196858667 experimental pictures you took? No. But, you're not going to listen anyway so, go ahead.
At this point, you might find yourself saying, "I need to capture everything!" or "My camera is my window to the world". Well, you've boarded the crazy train. You'll be taking pictures of anything and everything within your field of vision. From this stage, there's hardly any coming back.

As you might recall from my Cheesy Meatballs post, I have an intense desire to be like a real Italian Mama one day. I want my children to adore me like Italian children adore their mothers and I want my children to know that at my house, there will always be food and laughter to comfort and nourish them. But, just like I said in my Cheesy Meatballs post, I can dream of being a little Italian Mama until I'm blue in the face, because I'll never be little nor Italian. But what I can do, is strive to cook like one.
I might have the wrong idea here, but I always imagine Italian mothers, during the Summer months when tomatoes are just perfect, cooking pots full of home-made pasta sauce (Marinara as the Americans call it). I imagine them sterilising bottles then filling them with the fragrant and bright red pureed tomatoes. All in preparation for the cold Winter months when the tomatoes won't be sweet and juicy but they still want to taste that freshness. In my head, this all happens in Tuscany.
In my kitchen, the closest my family gets to home-made tomato pasta sauce is if I jazz up a few tins of chopped tomatoes, which I've done to great effect before. But last week I bought an entire box (about 50) bright red tomatoes and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them. I bought them because they smelt of Summer and I imagine Italy to smell just like that. Like juicy, fresh tomatoes, perfectly ripe and perfectly red. As my husband helped me carry the groceries into the house he asked me what on earth I was going to do with all these tomatoes. Especially because I don't like storing tomatoes in the fridge and because they would go off in the terrible heat we are experiencing.
That's when I decided to use them all in a delicious Marinara (said with a real 'rrrr' sound, not an American 'r' sound) sauce. I started Googling recipes and found that most people simmer the tomatoes with onions, garlic and herbs and then puree and strain the tomatoes. That sounded all well and dandy but I just didn't think that would add that oomph I was after. The logical explanation to me when you want to extract some serious flavour, is to roast it. So I threw all the ingredients into my biggest roasting tray and allowed the oven to do all the work. I roasted them (and actually forgot about them) for about 2 minutes too long, hence the amount of charred-ness on the tomatoes and onions. But I actually really like the amount of flavour that infused into the sauce, giving it a nice smokey flavour.
I also decided NOT to strain the sauce. I was planning to do just that but after pureeing the sauce I really liked the texture and so I decided to leave it just like that, but if you decided to strain the sauce, you might need to allow it to thicken a bit more in a pot on the stove just to really maximize on the flavour. Remember to make MUCH more than you bargain to use right away because this freezes incredibly well. And then, you always have fresh pasta sauce to your disposal. Perfect for Lasagna, Meatballs, even Enchilladas or Meatball sandwiches. Yum!!
Makes about 1l Marinara sauce
2kgs ripe tomatoes, peeled and quartered
4 large onions, peeled and quartered
7 garlic cloves
5tbsn olive oil
3tbsn balsamic vinegar
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1tbsn sugar
1-1/2 tbsn salt
freshly ground pepper
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°c.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large roasting tray and place in the heated oven.
- Allow to roast for 30-45 minutes until the vegetables appear charred.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool down slightly.
- Puree the vegetables in a blender/food processor. Season to taste.
- At this point, you can strain the mixture through a sieve if desired. Place the strained sauce into a saucepan and allow to reduce and thicken slightly.
- If you'll be freezing the sauce, pour it into freezable containers or freezer bags and label them with the date. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Legal Challenge Mounted in South India to Government Management of Hindu Temples
INDIA, December 2012 (The Hindu): The Supreme Court has issued notice to the States of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and the Union Territory of Puducherry on a writ petition filed by Sri Dayananda Saraswati Swamiji, Sri Paramatmananda Saraswati Swamiji and Sri Vishweswaranand Giriraj Maharaj, challenging the Hindu Religious and Endowments Acts of the respective governments.
A Bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra issued notice after hearing senior counsel C.S. Vaidyanathan and senior R. Venkataramani and counsel Bindu Nair and sought the response of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and the Union Territory of Puducherry governments.
The petitioners said they were aggrieved over the provisions of HR & CE Acts as they took away the internal autonomy of the religious institutions and denominations. They sought a declaration that the offending provisions were unconstitutional.
They said "even the conduct of religious rites and rituals are completely constricted and regulated by the Executive Officers and by the Trustees appointed by the Government, in violation of the rights guaranteed to the people who practice and profess the religion and of the religious denominations under Article 14,15 (1), 19(1)(g) 21, 25 and 26 of the Constitution." "The proposed expenditures and budgets for conducting religious rituals have to be considered upfront by the authorities of the Department and the Government and only after meeting with their approvals can money be expended for such rituals. The temples are thus virtually treated as the personal fiefdom of political masters.
There is no rationale or justice for the government to discriminate and arbitrarily fetter and restrict the temples' internal autonomy in management and administration, which cannot be dubbed as secular in character, more so when there is no aid or contribution or grant from the Government."
They pointed out that the constitutional mandate of "hands-off" from the religious institutions was totally breached so far as the Hindu Temples and Charitable Institutions were concerned. If the Government can wield its power to appoint or remove the Trustees and compel them to obey all orders of the Government or its servants on pain of prosecution and dismissal, and in devious ways can remove the Trustees and replace them by its nominees and the denominations or communities have no lot or part in the choice of Trustees or voice in the management of the institution, it is plain that Articles 25 and 26 are rendered nugatory and of no real effect whatever for Hindus of this country."

Last week we saw our Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in New York giving his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly and attending two special summits on refugees.
One was an invite-only affair from President Barack Obama himself.
Turnbull came away having agreed to a new commitment, which sees Australia's increase in the regular humanitarian intake from 13,750 to 18,750 effectively made permanent.
Of interest was this will now include a large number of Central American refugees.
Who? And why?
Well, it took a little digging but it seems Malcolm Turnbull has agreed to accept Central American refugees from camps … in Costa Rica.
This odd arrangement has seen speculation mount that the United States might resettle the asylum seekers housed in detention camps in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
The very refugees Australia is adamant will never set foot on Australian soil.
The new agreement does not include the African migrants currently held in Costa Rica, caught on their way north to the United States.
Our new citizens will be the people of the violence-plagued "northern triangle" countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Their countries were rocked by bloody civil wars in the 1980s which has left a legacy of violence and fragile institutions.
El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras consistently rank among the most violent countries in the world. Gang-related violence in El Salvador brought its homicide rate to ninety per hundred thousand in 2015, making it the worlds most violent country not at war.
All three countries have significantly higher homicide rates than neighbouring Costa Rica.
Costa Rica knows all too well about refugees, with more than 100 illegal migrants entering the small Central American country every day.
They are looking for "coyotes", the Central American version of 'people smugglers', to take them across the Nicaraguan border and on to the United States, so said the Costa Rican President, Luis Solis.
Eighty-five per cent of the new arrivals are from Haiti by way of Brazil.
The Haitians are still looking for new settlements after Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake.
Many took cheap construction jobs in Brazil ahead of the Olympics but now need to disappear with the Games over and the country wallowing in recession.
The president told reporters, "Migration is a global phenomenon and it is not new. But something unexpected is happening, a refurbished flow of migrants is on the move in Latin America," Solis said.
The United States has revealed plans to end the special protections given the Haitian people dating back to the earthquake.
"What if they start deciding to stay on in Costa Rica after hearing that the United States has changed its tolerance policy and is going to start deporting them?" Solis said. "That's a concern."
More than 5000 Haitians had entered the United States without visas this fiscal year through October 1, according to officials, up from 339 in fiscal year 2015.
Curiosity sated, we now know why Australia's intake will now include a component of people from the Central American region.

In-District Transfer Requests for Resident Students
District residents who wish for their children to attend a Westside elementary school other than the one associated with their residential address must submit an In-District Transfer Request (IDT) form. Requests must be submitted prior to the school year in which the transfer would take effect. IDT requests submitted on or before March 15 are considered prior to Option Enrollment applications. Requests are granted or denied based on building, grade-level, or program capacity at both the student's home and requested schools.
For consideration ahead of Option Enrollment applications, completed requests must be submitted to the Office of Student Services at the ABC Building no later than 4 p.m. on March 15th. Applications will be processed in the order in which they are received. Parents will be notified of the granting or denial of their requests no later than April 15th.

For parents of prospective Kindergartners: An In-District Transfer Request form must be completed for any child starting kindergarten next year who has a sibling currently attending a school outside of their home attendance area.
Other notes:
• If an IDT request is granted, parents/guardians are responsible for transporting their children to and from school.
• Students who transfer under an IDT are not guaranteed a seat in their original school. Should they later wish to return to their original school, parents/guardians must submit a new IDT request form and follow the IDT process.
• Non-Resident Students, including students enrolled under the Option Enrollment program, are NOT eligible for IDTs.
Questions about IDTs should be directed to the District Registrar at 402-343-2603.

The Silent Majority : It's OK to be both scientific and religious
Chris Mooney over at The Intersection has a post where he talks about The Silent Majority— the fact that there are a substantial number of people out there who have no trouble reconciling religion and science. The debate is dominated on one side by religious fundamentalists, who deny reality in their efforts to stay faithful to a literal (and, frankly, nonsensical) reading of the Bible. On the other side, that side which is loudest and most strident in the scientific blogosphere, are the militant atheists, the types who think that any form of religious faith whatosever is evidence of stupidity, ignorance, or childishness, and that any form of religious faith is incompatible with good scientific judgement.
However, the truth is, if you talk to the faculty of a science department at just about any college in the country, you'll find that a substantial number of them (probably well less than half, but not a trivial amount) are regular churchgoers. I suspect you'd find that most are agnostic. You'd find that those who are atheists by and large don't have a problem with their religious colleagues. There are people who have religious faith, but aren't fundamentalists and thus that faith doesn't have to interfere with their science. By the same token, they're good and rigorous scientists, but they haven't mistaken the metholdolgy and world-view of science for an all-encompasing perscription for how a rational person must order all of his thoughts.
There are a lot of people out there either with religious faith, or without faith but willing to admit the intellectual worthiness of those with faith, and who also have no problem with the fact of evolution, the overwhelming evidence for global warming, the face of the billions-of-years-old Unvierse, and all of the rest of the things that modern science has taught us. Chris Mooney is on the atheist side of this; I'm on the theist side of this.
Chris asks why the reasonable sorts who don't feel the need to "hit the rails" and go to one extreme or the other of the debate, aren't heard from more. Probably because of the Rush Limbaugh effect: those who have an extreme position that involves disdain for those who disagree are able to express it ever so much more entertainingly than those who see value in accomodation. Indeed, I made some posts about my own views on science and religion back when I was in scienceblogs.com, and when I did so I would receive many vicious attacks from the commenters there– those who are to the militant atheist bloggers as "dittoheads" are to Rush Limbaugh.
Whenever you are convinced that you are absolutely right about something– not pretty sure, not even very confident, but absolutely right– you should question yourself. If the vast majority of people who've thought deeply about it agree with you, there's a very good chance that you really are right. For example, I am absolutely convinced that I am absolutely right in believing that evolution happened. The evidence is overwhelming, as the vast majority of people who have seriously looked at that evidence would agree. However, when it comes to the existence or non-existence of God, and to whether acceptance of science forces you to the latter conclusion, look around and acquire some humility– many people have thought a lot about this, and they aren't all coming to agree that science must equal atheism. Perhaps it is compelling to you, and that's fine… but if you think that therefore any thinking reasonable person would come to the same exact beliefs that you have come to, the weight of evidence indicates that you're kidding yourself, just as assuredly as a fundamentalist theist of any stripe is kidding himself about the absolute and universal truth of his faith.

There are people who have religious faith, but aren't fundamentalists and thus that faith doesn't have to interfere with their science. By the same token, they're good and rigorous scientists, but they haven't mistaken the metholdolgy and world-view of science for an all-encompasing perscription for how a rational person must order all of his thoughts.
There are fundamentalists in top tier research universities. Rare, but they are there. In a biochemistry course I had to correct a few papers by graduate students on evolution who referred to "evolution as just a theory". Their religious beliefs were affecting their science. First they did not know what a scientific theory was and second they had no clue about evolution.
There are Mormons who have a distorted view of history in order to conform to their religious beliefs, including neglecting natural science evidence (or the lack thereof). I know of scientists who push New Age ideas and in the process end up distorting not their scientific research but rather basic scientific facts to others. Should either group be called out for that?
Coyne believes Miller and Collins are doing the same with regards to evolution with their popular books. They are distorting the science on evolution to conform to their theistic beliefs. Should Coyne not call them out for that?

Agreed. I think the 'average' scientist is most likely agnostic. While I understand the usefulness of the 'militant athiest scientists' in disputing the harmful anti-science positions of the creationists, when it comes to the actual scientific community itself, I just find it strident and polarizing.

Well, any of us can counter the anti-science positions of the creationists. I think it far better that it be done in a "creationism is wrong" way than a "creationism is wrong because it's religion and all of religion is stupid" way… the latter is what the militant atheists tend to do.

Aren't you then conforming people to certain religious views though? Lets be honest when we talk about religion and science being compatible we are talking in the abstract. Science is not compatible with all religions and faiths. Certain ones yes.
In the US, a good number of the general populace doesn't think evolution applies to human origins. They believe in some form of special creation for human origins. The scientific evidence argues that humans evolved like every other species on the planet. Nothing special. Coyne argues Miller and Collins in their popular books promote a variant of special creation for human origins that is not scientifically supported at this time.
It should also be pointed out the Coyne and Myers, with regards to the National Academy of Sciences, believe the organization should not be promoting either side (neither atheism nor accomodationism). Science organizations should focus on science and its promotion. That is how they teach their classes.

Sure, there are lots of religious views that are not compatible with science. That's true of lots of non-religious views as well. However, what I'm taking issue with is people who say that all religion, or religion itself, is not compatible with science.
Re: the NAS and NCSE, if you want to promote science publicly, you have to know your audience. In the USA today, if you promote science without addressing evolution and religion, you're ignoring a gigantic elephant in the room. The creationists are attacking science. I really, really, really do not want to leave the answering of them to people who will attack all of religion.

Mostly those I have read critique theistic religion that make predictions as to how the universe works and ascribing the supernatural.
The NAS should promote science. Evolution happens. Those are not beliefs. Those are facts of the world just like gravity. You don't have to say whether that fact is consistent with atheism. You don't have say it is compatible with religion. NAS should be silent on both matters as should teachers in the classroom.
To say religion is compatible with science is disingenuous. It is not true for the religious faiths practiced by many Americans. Promoting the compatibility of religion and science is promoting certain religious faiths above others. Should teachers in schools really be doing that?

I've written on this subject in the past on several occasions, and I find my position on the matter shifting, somewhat.
The bottom line is this: anything a person claims they do because of their religion, we rephrase in human terms, too.
Among the many things human beings do is compartmentalize. The question, between religion and science is which compartment has more space. There, I think, science should really get the bigger locker.

Science and religion cannot be reconciled because they are not two sides of the same coin. In fact, science and religion aren't even in the same currency from the same country. If we were an inter-stellar species such as those portrayed in popular science fiction, I'd stretch this analogy further to say that science and religion aren't the same currency from the same planet!
Science is about what is testable, provable, verifiable, probable and repeatable through independent and credible peer review. It deals with the physical, and the natural…NOT the metaphysical or supernatural! Each side does a serious dis-service to their respective arguments by trying to find a common ground or reconciliatory point between the two disciplines.
I believe in God. There are events which have happened in my life, repeatedly and consistently which have convinced me that there is a God that has planned for my existence, and cares about me. But said claim cannot be scientifically proven, nor disproven. Until I see scientific evidence which brings my own intensely personal and intimate experiences from the supernatural to the natural, it serves me well to err on the side of faith.
How, having said that, Do I believe that we have death and evil in the world because a talking snake, told a naked woman to each from a magic tree? Emphatically, NO!! However, I do believe that a naked woman can convince a naked man to do just about anything she tells him to
To conclude my point…my "faith" is intensely intimate and personal, but not secret and I'm happy to share it. However, I'm also sane enough to recognize that it is not scientific, and view it like this… I know that a rainbow is the result of refracted like through water vapor in the atmosphere. It doesn't make it any less spectacular a thing to behold after a storm.

Small grammar and spelling corrections…
Where I said:
"…told a naked woman to each from a magic tree?
Replace the word "each" for the word "eat"
Where I said:
"…I know that a rainbow is the result of refracted like through water vapor …
Replace the word "like" for the word "light"
That's what I get for being a rapid typist

Laythrom Media will be producing a teen drunk driving video to be distributed to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), local area high schools, school systems through out large metropolitan across the nation and multiple drivers education centers.
Laythrom Media is starting pre-production for a teen anti-drunk driving video to be distributed to multiple schools and agencies.
"The outdated and lossy videos that we've seen in the past doesn't seem to be affecting teens now days" said Matt Adkins, Director for
Laythrom Media. "I wanted to do something a little bit more about the issue and drinking and driving is a big issue".
Laythrom has chosen school systems in approximately 50 different cities across the US to distribute (free of charge) the video to.
Laythrom is reaching out to multiple different agencies in order to help with the logistics and materials needed.
"It is an interesting and time consuming task when you actually think about it. We're going to need vehicles, emergency services, actors and actresses not to mention the typical production setup."
Laythrom is seeking as many volunteers as possible for this production; "We're doing this because I want to [and the staff wants to as well], I'm wanting to show these kids something more than a typical drivers-ed video…something that will make them look at things a bit differently yet be more impacting and tie it into approximately 4 minute time frame to keep their attention."
Laythrom plans to shoot and produce the video using volunteered time and material. The video will be available to any and all educational systems as well as 501(c)(3) organizations.
If you wish to participate concerning this production, please contact Laythrom Media at their email address email@example.com.

Bilbao joined in 2017 the Open House Worldwide family and during that weekend over 35,000 visits by the citizens were able to experience Bilbao from the inside.
Our city has historically been a very important industrial city, and in the last 25 years it has suffered a modellic urban transformation, which has lead to a deep improvement in the quality of life of its inhabitants. The way in which we move, use spaces, are realted and, in short, live has changed. The Bilbao River, as main character of this transformation has changed its looks by adding cultural centers, museums, opera houses... to its banks once occupied by factories; so now Bilbao has become an attractive city both for its citiziens and visitors.
Nevertheless, many of the new buildings and spaces in town, leading the transformation, remain unknown for most "bilbainos and bilbainas". So here it comes OPEN HOUSE BILBAO, a festival adressed for every citizen that is somehow curious about their own city, a weekend in which the most important thing is to participate and the willingness to know more about Bilbao's architecture, urbanism and ultimately, its history.
Open House Bilbao's spirit is to open the city and the debate upon it to the people, a festival by and for the inhabitants that spreads through all the neighbourhoods involving students, seniors, families...
Bilbao has outstanding architecture to show, from the iconic new area of Abandoibarra (with the Iberdrola tower, the Guggenheim Museum and the Fine Arts Museum) to the more authentic aura of the Zorrozaurre and Begona districts. Each and every corner has something interesting to show that allows the festival to colonize the whole city.
But the city is not only made of buildings, so from Open House Bilbao we want people to know about their city also by telling the stories behind those buildings, those details and anecdotes that are often unknown. That way, we get to understand our city through its architecture and urbanism.
The buildings that participate in our first edition include hotels, sports arenas, museums, private houses, office buildings, theatres... Both classical and modern architecture, there's something special for everyone! Come and visit!

"How have reviews—the foundational form of art writing—evolved with technological shifts over the last few decades?"
This panel will focus on who reads art writing and how readers engage. Arts writing has experienced a major shift in audience and dissemination since the age of the internet. It has become an open playing field, no longer only accessible to the writers and art critics of major publications. Since this cultural shift, new grassroots publications have eschewed print media and opted to only exist online. This has resulted in a new community where individuals play multiple or hybrid roles, including those of art writer, artist and curator. How do publications approach dissemination via the internet? This panel will look at questions including "How do arts publications create open, safe virtual spaces that encourage healthy, diverse dialogues while also resisting defamatory or false responses?"
Moderator Joshua Fischer is an independent curator and writer living in the Boston, Massachusetts area. He recently moved to Boston from Houston, Texas, where he worked at Rice University Art Gallery and curated site-specific installations. He currently contributes to Big Red & Shiny, an online publication focusing on the Boston and greater New England arts.
PanelistsHeather Kapplow is a Boston-based conceptual artist and freelance writer/media producer. Kapplow's writing has appeared in Big Red & Shiny, ArtDependence, DigBoston, Globe Media's BDCWire; and WBUR's ARTery. Kapplow is also a regular contributor to Hyperallergic and Delicious Line. More information available at: www.heatherkapplow.com.
Tamar Avishai is a Somerville-based art historian and independent radio producer. She is the one-woman band behind The Lonely Palette, the podcast that aims to return art history to the masses, one object at a time. In the two years since its launch, The Lonely Palette has been written-up in WIRED, The Boston Globe, Salon, Hyperallergic, and was one of Paste's 50 Best Podcasts of 2017. It has also aired on PRX, the CBC, and NPR. She is an adjunct lecturer at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and picks a banjo in her spare time.
Rebecca Uchill is an art historian, independent curator, and Editor of Art Journal Open, an independently-edited, open-access, peer-reviewed affiliate of the College Art Association's Art Journal. She is a full-time member of the faculty at UMass Dartmouth in the Department of Art Education, Art History & Media Studies, and a lecturer in History, Theory and Criticism of Art in the Department of Architecture at MIT. An updated, limited-run version of her Random Exhibition Title Generator is presently on view in the exhibition "States of Change" at the Wassaic Project.

Trade shows and exhibitions are a mainstay in the armoury of sales and marketing teams. They cost a lot of money to rent the booths. To design the stand. To have resources and people for the duration of the event. But are they making the most of the opportunity?
Presentation Skills at Trade Shows
many exhibition organisers offer training and guidance on standing, greeting and engaging people as they walk around the event. many are still not heeding this advice. At this years event for example there were several stands where people were sat behind desks. I wont embarrass them by showing the photos here!
Who do exhibitors talk to?
At an event at the end of day 1 of the 2017 CIPD Learning and Development Show I was talking to some fellow visitors. They commented that people looked at the name badges before making eye contact. This intrigued me.
The next day I spoke to a few people I know on stands to discuss this. They confirmed that they did not want to waste time talking to the "wrong people".
2 badges 1 person – 2 very different experiences
I was able to get 2 badges printed for me. One with PRESS (It could easily have said CONSULTANT) the other with Head of Global Training – and a well known company.
I walked around for just a few minutes with each badge showing.
With the PRESS version – not one person spoke to me
With the HEAD OF GLOBAL TRAINING version I was stopped 9 times.
Now why is this important?
In the HR & L&D world, the job I do today will be different from tomorrow. The contract i do today may be local. Tomorrow it may be a major change. Talking with a fellow freelancer, he pointed out that often his clients asked for recommendations for products and services. And yet many people on stands ignore him.
The truth behind the badges
The reason why I chose the "HEAD OF…" badge, this this was a role I held just a short while ago. So this was a real and realistic test. Even on the same day. Wearing the same clothes, I was treated differently based on the TITLE. I suspect EMPLOYER also makes a little difference.
The Gig-economy
In a world where an increasing number of people are interim or contracting the old world of "fixed job titles" is going. In addition firms often prefer the opinion of people that have wider experiences. When events are ANNUAL, sales people at these events need to take account a long time zones
Learn to LOVE the 'Press'
Increasingly at events organisers engage with industry bloggers and social media champions. These people are given PRESS passes in exchange for media coverage. there job is to promote you. they will just want a photo and a quote. So why are they ignored?
Many of these people have tens of thousands of Twitter or Instagram followers. they may have a high value YouTube channel or have 1000s of people that read their blogs. An article in a trade journal may get 5000 views in the month of feature. On a blog it can easily be tens of thousands over the course of the year.
5 Tips to have a successful trade show
- First Impressions are Everything
- Create a buzz – when there is a queue – others will join – they hate being the only person there
- Extend Your Reach – use social media to ENGAGE – get others to promote your brand & message
- Get Your Best Clients to the Show – show and tell!
- Stop Selling- Start Gelling – build relationships

This tungsten-headed jig version of the Pheasant Tail is tied on a barbless, European-style hook, which makes it an ideal addition to any Czech-nymphing rig. The tungsten will drop the fly to the bottom quickly, and without a barb on the hook, you'll experience a sharp drop-off in the number of snags on the bottom without sacrificing any fish.
