Most people think of supply and demand as a physical construct. Some person needs a car. Some supplier is willing to manufacture that car. A physical product is created and moved to a person who needs it. There are supply-side dynamics, and there are demand-side dynamics. But when it comes to the tech world, because there is often no physical product, some of the essential characteristics of these transactions change.
Especially if you have a job where tech products are standard, or tech services are required, it's essential to work through these distinctions. So, in the tech world, you should understand the supply chain. You can use the cloud to help with your supply and demand processes. Big data is there to allow you to analyze and observe trends. And maintaining the perspective that information exists as a product will help you conceptualize your projects.
Understanding the Supply Chain
Especially in the modern world, understanding the complexity of the supply chain is vital. From a tech perspective, information flow is so complicated that it's almost impossible to follow on a server-to-server basis. From a physical supply chain perspective, technology is what allows parts and pieces to be checked in, checked out, shipped, stopped, archived, and so forth. Without understanding supply chain dynamics, it can be challenging to thrive in the retail world.
Using the Cloud To Help
When it comes to supply and demand, the cloud can help you out. Because it offers a non-centralized, real-time view of what's happening as goods, products, services, and communication flow back and forth between people, clients, employers, and stockholders, it is technology that holds everything together. With this information continually being updated and managed, supply and demand are more efficient than ever concerning these relationships.
Big Data To Determine Trends
If you haven't taken a moment to study big data and its effect on modern business, the now is an excellent time to take a step back and see what's going on. There's so much data and information flow out there, no human being can possibly gather and synthesize it. However, there are plenty of computer programs that import all of the data points that come from billions and billions of interactions around the world every day, and they can spit out what sort of trends that data suggests, especially when it comes to supply and demand.
Information as Product
In much of today's world, information is the product. That means that information can be copied and moved around without actually taking up any physical space. Because of this, supply and demand are going to be different from a tech perspective. One copy of a piece of software takes up the same amount of space as 10 million pieces of that same copy of the software. It's important to understand this one setting sales goals and pricing.

Beginning with the letter A, a Christmas tree is arbol de Navidad and in fact the type of tree used also starts with an A, it is abeto (fir tree). Very popular at Christmas time and beginning with B is the word belén. This is actually the Spanish for Bethlehem and is the name given to the Nativity scene which can be found in town squares and inside Spanish homes all over the country. Belén is also a woman's name.
C stands for the most popular seasonal drink, namely cava which is a Spanish type of champagne. It is always present at celebrations, and most especially on New Year's Eve. The twelve strokes just before midnight on 31st December are called the Doce campanadas (the twelve rings) which deals with our letter D.
The Christmas star is estrella. This is especially important in the Spanish tradition as it was the estrella that guided the three kings whose arrival is celebrated on 5th and 6th January. The flor de pascua is seen all over Spain during this season. It means the Christmas flower and is in fact the red poinsettia that is seen in squares, on roundabouts and in shop windows. Guirnalda means garland and is also a popular form of Christmas decoration. Herodes is the Spanish name for Herod, who tried to kill Jesus as a baby. The Spanish have an interesting saying "Ir de Herodes a Pilatos" "To go from Herod to Pilate", in other words, to go from bad to worse!
Iberian ham or jamón ibérico is by far the most popular food at Christmas time in Spanish homes. Juguetes are toys, which don't need explaining, except to say that Spanish children traditionally receive these on the 6th January, not on Christmas day. Luces means lights and everyone can see the tremendous effort that is put into decorating towns with these, even twining them around palm trees on the sides of roads. Sadly, the last three examples have been affected this year by the economic situation.
Muérdago is mistletoe and nacimiento, which means birth, is another name sometimes given to the traditional nativity scene. Passing to the next letter after ñ, oriente of course is where the kings travelled from in search of the baby Jesus, although apparently a recent book written by the pope suggests that they came from Andalucía!
Polvorones are a kind of cinnamon sweet that is very popular at this time of year. They are rather crumbly and wrapped in a small piece of grease-proof paper so you have to squeeze them in your hand before you open them. Quitanieves is the best I could do for the letter Q as it means snowplough! What better at Christmas time than lots of regalos or presents which in the Christmas story were received by the sagrada familia or sacred family of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.
Very nice and seasonal is that lovely sweet turrón, which is made in the Valencian region and is enjoyed all over Spain in many different forms. U is for the twelve uvas or grapes that are eaten for good luck on New Years Eve in time to the twelve strikes of the clock and V is for villancico which is the Spanish word for Christmas carol. I couldn't manage X but Y stands for yema or egg yolk which some of the best turrón is made from and traditionally it was zapatos or shoes that Spanish children put out for the Kings to leave their presents in, so they would always have to be cleaned and polished on the night of January the fifth. All the remains is for me to wish you all ¡¡ FELICES FIESTAS !!

Some of the best coffee projects we know of got their start on Kickstarter. From...
We've got a cabin in the mountains we go to vacation at each Fall and over the last few years I've found myself getting increasingly frustrated with having to keep going to microwave my coffee if I didn't immediately drink the whole cup – the joys of living at altitude and all that. The Bunn BTD Velocity Brew High Altitude Coffee Brewer (BTX-B(D) to be exact) has been a godsend in keeping my blood pressure down.
Its carafe is double-walled, and unlike some steel constructions I've used, the heat doesn't transfer uncomfortably into its sturdy handle, making this a sturdy and convenient little workhorse.
Bunn BTD Velocity Brew High Altitude Product Features:
The Bunn BTD Velocity Brew brews quickly – usually taking only as much time as it takes to boil a kettle – and is one of the easier makes to use that I've tried over the years. It's also easy to clean and maintain – that stainless steel carafe just rinses and is ready to use – and unless you've used a particularly coarse ground set of beans, the filter doesn't need more than a quick once-over every now and then.
The Bunn BTX-B(D) Velocity Brew coffee maker doesn't have a warmer plate or a built-in grinder – instead you have a tank at the back with a switch marked 'vacation' that you can flip to keep your coffee heated – for me this works better as I found most coffees that rest on a plate to warm tend to taste burned after five to ten minutes – the tank just seems to keep that taste fresher for me.
The lack of a grinder is also not an issue because the coffee brewer does its magic so quickly – you'd need something built by NASA to keep up. You'll need to have a well-blended coffee in a pot, or a good small handheld grinder (I use a Krups for that). To be fair though, if you're as big a coffee nut as I am, you'll have invested in a good grinder already, or are buying from a store who take some pride in preparing the beans. You'll want a good smooth fine blend to get the best out of this baby.
A word of warning though – they're not joking about the High Altitude part of the Bunn BTD Home Coffee Brewer name. I was so used to mediocre machines that I nearly scalded myself with my first cup. In addition I'm glad to report that it tends to hold its heat up to around three hours, even up at some seven and a half thousand feet above sea level. You'll probably also want to buy the Bunn brand filters too as they're a bit taller and will stop the grounds getting splashed out.
If you're brewing a lot of cups a day, the Bunn BTD Velocity Brew High Altitude 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer is absolutely the make for you. I've got a lot of friends who love their coffee, and I imagine this would do well in an office where the caffeine needs to flow. I wouldn't use the Bunn BTX-B(D) if it was likely to be left standing on its own – that water tank heater isn't the cheapest way to keep things hot if you're on a tight budget, or worried about how 'green' your household is. I love this coffee machine – wish I'd bought one sooner.

Camel driver killed for his faith: Mina c. 303
Mina (also called Menas) is regarded in Egypt as one of the great heroes of the Christian faith. The earliest depictions of Mina show him with two camels, suggesting that he may have been a camel driver. However, according to popular tradition he was an Egyptian soldier in the Roman army who served in Phrygia, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).
During the persecution under Diocletian, Mina went to the mountains where he led a life of prayer and austerity. Then at the games in Cotywus he publicly announced his Christianity, which led to his arrest. Mina was brought before the ruler of Phrygia, beaten, tortured, and finally beheaded. His body was returned to Egypt for burial at a place near Alexandria in around 303 that was later named Abu Mina after this martyr.
O Christ, the King of glory, who didst enter the holy city in meekness to be made perfect through the suffering of death: Give us grace, we beseech thee, in all our life here to take up our cross daily and follow thee, that hereafter we may rejoice with thee in thy heavenly kingdom; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.

I'm somewhat familiar with Wendig's writing style thanks to his work for White Wolf/World of Darkness, but I was hoping in long form (or at least in non-World of Darkness narrative) his style would smooth out a bit.
This still holds on to what I can only describe as an 'abrupt' writing style. It favors short sentences and gives off an urgent feel. He does manage to be descriptive beyond action sentences, but that's also true to his WoD work and still manages to be abrupt.

I've even said that maybe the labels should pay consumers to steal it, spread it virally for them without any further expense to the labels and make them money.
After all, much of the credible research on music piracy shows that filesharing does not have the deleterious effect on selling music that the labels claim.
Actually, the labels are the main reason they are losing money.
Their misguided mergers, denial regarding the digital age and penchant for maintaining the status quo by suing the pants off of everyone they can.
So, we know there are many cases out there in the court systems of this country in which the RIAA is trying to win or uphold large penalties for stealing even a little bit of music.
That will set a good example for filesharers, they argue.
Keep in mind that the music industry has had no reliable way of battening down the Internet to prevent illegal filesharing.
The most recent outrage has occurred in Texas.
And while 22-year old Whitney Harper of San Antonio was ordered to pay $27,750 to five labels for stealing 37 songs, the good news is that the RIAA's war on teenagers, kids, parents and dead people is actually blowing up in their faces.
In the Harper case, that means each stolen song was only worth $750 per song – a lot for a young lady just graduating from college, but not the mega sums that the labels have been going after.
And each appeal that follows – and they always do – sets the labels up for reducing the penalty for theft even further.
The argument is being made in other cases now before the courts that the real penalty should be the price of the stolen digital file – 99 cents on the iTunes store or less elsewhere.
Whether that happens or not, the labels are caught in their own quicksand.
The RIAA announced it would not file any further lawsuits but that they wanted to clean up the cases that were out there -- again, with the obvious purpose of setting an example.
They just couldn't pull up stakes, retreat and declare victory like every losing army in the world does when they discover that conflict doesn't pay.
Because winning lawsuits in music piracy trials apparently doesn't pay.
The Jammie Thomas-Rasset case and another one in Boston are high profile David vs. Goliath suits that are on appeal.
Whitney Harper, who downloaded the music as a teenager off of Kazaa, isn't being cut a break because of her youthful indiscretion. The labels want blood. After all, she is their prime target – a young consumer.
So Harper's lawyers are arguing that the total cost of paying for her mistake could exceed $40,000 and force a young person just starting out to declare bankruptcy out of the box. They even say she can't get a job because of the publicity.
And that's where Whitney Harper has so much in common with her enemies – the labels.
They, too, are on the brink of bankruptcy.
Self-inflicted wounds that were not necessary and that will continue to cause bleeding at a time when the labels have yet to figure out a digital strategy.
No, I'm wrong.
The labels have a digital strategy.
Sue file sharers who tend to be young people.
Try to get more royalties from the radio stations that publicize their music for free at no cost to the labels whatsoever.
Holding back the growth of Internet streamers by waging a senseless war to saddle this young industry with royalty rates so high streamers cannot afford to be in business.
In all of this, record labels insist they are trying to teach music pirates who rob starving artists of royalties a lesson.
What's missed is that the labels are apparently not learning an even more important lesson.
Keep making a federal case out of how much every stolen download is worth and you may discover for legal purposes at least music is worth less than a dollar -- at the most -- the cost of a digital download.
And for everybody else, it's free.
The RIAA royalty lawsuits haven't stopped filesharing. Hasn't even made a dent in piracy. And now adhering to a tactic of retribution is forcing courts to decide what is a stolen song actually worth.
Labels shouldn't go there.

Equator Prize Winner from Afghanistan Brings Back Pride and Hope
Badakhshan, 20 January 2016 – Ahmad Seyar woke up early one morning in late September, performed his prayers and went back to bed. Then he picked up his phone, scrolled through his emails and read "Congrats on winning the Equator Prize" – a message from Helen Clark, the head of UNDP.
Suddenly, he was wide awake. "It gave me a kind of pleasure I can't explain," he says.
The prestigious UN prize recognizes Seyar's work in preserving biodiversity in northeastern Badakhshan, where he runs the Rural Green Environment Organization (RGEO), a nonprofit that works with local communities to protect 2,000 km2 of mountain forest along the Kishim river in Tagrab District.
The forest is home to wild animals, including deer, snow leopards, jackals, tigers, various birds and rare plants, and a variety of natural pistachio trees and vines. It also provides an income for local residents.
RGEO has been funded by two grants from UNDP and the Global Environment Facility's Small Grants Programme. This has allowed the NGO to build a 500-metre fence to safeguard the forest from marauding livestock, plant 4,000 saplings and build 20 water reservoirs to improve irrigation. It has also helped locals graft 8,000 vines, each of which already produces 7kg of grapes.
These activities have created more than 6,000 jobs in 90 villages.
In September, RGEO was selected for the Equator Prize from nearly 1,500 nominations from 126 countries. In November, Seyar and RGEO's gender officer, Farkhunda Seddiqi, travelled to Paris for the UN Climate Change Conference, where they and other winners received their prize. They also got the chance to show the world how Afghanistan is beating the odds to fight climate change.
Sediqqi was interviewed by BBC, Al Jazeera, Voice of America and the French print media while in Paris. "I shared our story on how challenging it has been to work in an area with an active insurgency," she recalls.
Seyar and Seddiqi also had a chance to learn from environmental activists from around the world and to pitch their ideas for Afghanistan to more funders, allowing RGEO to build on the success already achieved with UNDP.
"I am now preparing a proposal for a dry fruit processing project for women in Badakhshan," says Sediqqi.
In the meantime, RGEO is expanding its reforestation activities to three more mountain districts.

When a child's permanent teeth appear, there's usually some push going on, hopefully in the right direction. Although any tooth can jostle its neighbors, the teeth that have the worst reputation are our third molars -- our wisdom teeth. They're the last to come out and often shove other teeth out of their way.
Most mouths can't usually accommodate wisdom teeth, and they end up pressuring the rest of the teeth, disrupting their alignment. They can often cause pain and swelling.
Routine X-rays, done when a person's around age 12, give us early warning of problem molars and tell us whether they need to be extracted. Wisdom teeth, like troublesome neighbors, everyone's a lot happier when they've moved out!
Oral surgery is frequently a part of growing up and developing wisdom teeth. Many people don't have the space in their mouths for their wisdom teeth, so the teeth aren't able to come in straight.
Impacted wisdom teeth happen when the developing wisdom tooth pushes into the tooth next to it. This can be quite painful, but some patients don't experience pain and don't realize they have impacted teeth.
That's why wisdom teeth dentists take x-rays. This enables a dentist to see how much the teeth have developed so far and where they look to be headed.
If the patient has impacted wisdom teeth, then the dentist will recommend oral surgery to remove the wisdom teeth. Simple extractions may be performed by a general dentist in his or her office under local anesthesia (like Novocain), but more complex cases will be referred to an oral surgeon.
During wisdom tooth oral surgery, the dental surgeon surgically removes the problematic teeth. (Most people get all four wisdom teeth removed, but that's not true for everyone.) In general, wisdom tooth surgery is easier to perform on younger people, as their wisdom teeth are still developing and haven't fully hardened to bone.
A visit to the wisdom tooth surgeon is not an inevitable part of becoming an adult, but for many people, it's a wise investment in their long-term dental health!

How a $3.1 million grant could help Reading's feral cat problem
The grant from the Giorgi Family Foundation will help increase staff and alleviate the problem.
Humane Pennsylvania, a Reading-based partnership of animal welfare organizations, plans to use a $3.1 million grant from The Giorgi Family Foundation to provide more animal-welfare services, focusing on the feral cat problem in Reading.
The grant will fund the agency's "Working Cat" program to help alleviate the problem of having too many feral cats in the city.
"There are a large number of feral cats in Reading, and then they produce more," said Lindsay High, director of marketing. "Our goal is to get ahead of this."
The agency also is expanding its partnership with No Nonsense Neutering, a nonprofit spay-neuter clinic, to provide sterilizations, rabies vaccinations and microchip services for the feral cats.
The grant will also fund the reconstruction of Humane Pennsylvania's animal shelter at 1801 N. 11th St. The staff will expand from a team of 60 to about 100, High said.
The shelter will also provide more extensive responses to local, regional and national emergencies, and disasters that impact animals.
Karel Minor, CEO of Humane Pennsylvania, said that the grant will help provide the best community for animals.
"But the problems facing animals span our entire community," Minor said. "The solutions require community wide partnerships."
The $3.1 million grant — the organization's largest — was announced in September and will be gifted over the next three years.
The Giorgio Family Foundation, based in Blandon, is impressed with Humane Pennsylvania's programs, Peter Giorgi, president of the mushroom producer Giorgio Foods Inc., said in a statement.
Humane Pennsylvania is the parent corporation of the Humane Society of Berks and the Humane League of Lancaster County.

Your house is used as collateral, and residence equity car loans could be gotten regardless of your credit rating. The rates of interest is generally low, since the loan is protected by the house. Additionally, the rate of interest you pay on a residence equity financing is generally tax-deductible.

Count the Cost of a Remodel before the Project Begins
There is an ancient saying that a person would not build a tower without first sitting down and calculating the cost to make sure that they had enough money to finish the project. While the saying is quite old, it does not mean it cannot apply to people today. It is something that is especially important for individuals who are thinking about doing a remodel project in their home.
Before undertaking any type of remodel project, it is good for a homeowner to learn as much as they can about what the project is going to involve. They want to do research and talk to others who have had a similar project done. They want to find a good contractor who will be honest and open with them about the work that needs to be done. Once a person is able to really calculate how much the project will cost and what it will require of them, they can decide if it is really worth going through with the project.
Depending on the type of project that a homeowner is thinking about doing, one of the things that they definitely need to be sure of is if the project meets local building codes. For some types of projects, a person may need building permits Seattle or some type of license. A person can visit or call their local government agencies to find out about the types of permits they would need. This is essential to do before the project begins. The last thing a homeowner wants to do is get halfway through a project only to find out that it is not up to code.
It is good to consider how the project is going to affect the lives of each individual in the family. If the project is going to require extensive work, especially in areas that are used often by the family, like the kitchen or the bathroom, plans will need to be made ahead of time to take care of any problems that may arise. For example, a makeshift kitchen could be set up on the porch so that everyone can still eat simple foods at home.
Remodeling your home can go a long way in improving the home and increasing its value. However, before homeowner starts any project, it would be wise for them to count the cost.

Saudi Arabian women's rights or economic opportunity?
Once a country that could boast of being the only country in the world where women were not allowed to drive, Saudi Arabia, this week, overturned this image when Prince Mohammed bin Salman granted women the right to drive, effective June 2018.
After over a decade of fighting for a right that many of us take for granted, Saudi women are now triumphant in this small victory. Their sights are now set on the next major move–to end guardianship laws that entail them having to seek permission from a male relative, usually fathers, husbands and even sons, before seeking employment, medical procedures and the like.
Naturally, there was some opposition to this grant of freedom to women. Comments of its vice and immorality were shut down with the firing of clerics who were deemed to be using their power to incite defiance in a nation where opposition to the state is either debarred or silenced. Yet, it is worth noting the fear that governs change.
It is unfathomable to think laws that debar women from driving still prevail in the twenty-first century. But then, this century is no indication of progress given the widespread discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender that still exists. It seems that increased material progress and more availability of information makes for a heightened inability to make informed judgments. But this is the danger of the single narrative, if I may be permitted to borrow Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's idea. And it is also the danger of poor education, one that teaches people to regurgitate accepted bodies of knowledge without the accompanying development of the capacity to think critically.
The Rohyinga refugee crisis remains troubling and uppermost in my mind as an example of the oppressive use of law and history. It is another typical example of a single narrative. Historically, crafting an image of the other whoever that "other" is, in a negative frame, serves the drive to control. Race narratives in the United States are a fitting example of crafting stereotypes as a means of control. Should the thinking person begin to investigate in an objective manner, one would uncover, all over the world, instances of centuries of lies and propaganda created for the purposes of building nations and colonising territories. This nationhood rhetoric naturally involves some form of one-sidedness.
So in Trinidad, despite our diversity, a common marketing slogan "Trinidad, Land of Steelpan, Calypso and Carnival" naturally sidelines others who do not fall under this category.
One can ascribe a similar analogy to women's rights, for women's rights are the rights of the citizen who is, after all, a part of the nation. Any denial of women's rights is a denial of citizenship–a view of the woman as "other" and usually an object to be controlled. And so, it is also dehumanising.
The Saudi removal of the ban on women driving is a change in tradition. Laws after all, are traditions made for specific times and, like many traditions, some also have an expiry date. We should be careful to note, however, that this is not just a human rights victory. If the state didn't consider it a viable economic decision, the fight would have gone on another ten years in my humble non-economist opinion.
"I think our society is ready," said the Saudi ambassador in Washington. Ready because the Saudi Arabian relationship with the US is important to its economic survival in the future post-oil world. Women also provide a way for the economy to move forward. According to some reports, women have to spend a large part of their income to commute to work by hiring drivers and as such there is a lack of incentive to take on jobs. This will now be rectified by their ability to drive themselves to work.
Nevertheless, regardless of how one achieved freedom, that freedom has been achieved. The end result is satisfactory to the important players. The citizens will deal with the decision in their own time. For there are, after all, those pockets of people who truly believe in the rights of women and hopefully this group will grow with successive generations.
But now, guardianship laws must be strategically lobbied for. Hopefully that victory will be more in sync with human rights because a deeper understanding of that perspective makes for more lasting change.
It makes one wonder, however, has any overarching humanitarian reason ever existed for the granting of that entity we call human rights– abolition of slavery, women's right to vote and such? Or, are we contained within another imaginary narrative?

Newborn photography shoots are best done when a baby is anywhere between 5 & 10 days old. At this age babies don't have colic yet & usually haven't started developing baby acne or cradle cap. They also feed a lot and consequently sleep a lot at this age. When a baby is very full, they get a little bit 'milk drunk'. This state is a photographers dream when it comes to photographing them. They are so sleepy and happily full that they can be posed into all sorts of gorgeous positions without disturbing them.
The best time to book a newborn photo-shoot is when you are past the 3 month mark in your pregnancy and you have been given a due date. This date is easily changed - (if bubs decides to stay a bit longer, or arrives early)
Once you have given me the due date, we will keep in touch, allowing you to let me know of any changes or to answer any questions you may have. When you have your precious bundle in your arms, you (or someone you delegate) can email, text or call me to let me know your exciting news & we can book in a time.
I like to start rather early so that I can work around your baby's routine. If you are coming to my home studio, I will get you to feed your baby (the bigger the better) as soon as you arrive - keeping her awake while she feeds so she gets a good amount.
If it is more convenient for you, I can come to your house. This helps mothers who may have needed to have a C- section. When I arrive, I will get you to start feeding your baby. It will take me a bit of time to organise my studio setup, so by the time bubs is finished feeding it will be action time.
I am often told by mums how nice it is for them to sit back and just watch their baby, while I am busy rocking, singing or hushing them to sleep. It's a nice time for mum to relax a little. I usually get dads to help me out if I need them. It could be to hold the baby while i set up the new scene, hold the baby's head to ensure her safety while doing a certain pose, or passing me more wipes when I need to clean up little accidents. (Not my own don't worry haha)
I love to include mum and dad, siblings and even any fur babies into the shoot to capture the relationships and bonds that have already formed in those first several days.
I also like to personalise each newborn photo-shoot & incorporate something from mum & dad's private life into the shoot. Perhaps dad plays basketball or is a builder, mum likes to knit or is a police officer, or maybe there is a special heirloom that has been handed down generation after generation. How special would it be to hang a photo on the wall of your baby in your grandmother's antique pram or gripping your grandfathers pocket watch?
Some mums don't feel too keen to model after giving birth, but you can get some special moments in those early days; Moments that you can look back on forever. I generally only take photos of mum & dad with bub from their hips upward (meaning you don't need to get out of those beloved PJ's if you don't want to :) but in the end it is completely up to you!
I would never force anyone to be in a photo if they weren't totally comfortable.
Expect the session to last 3-4 hours, so that we have plenty of time for baby to get relaxed and happy. This allows for plenty of time for cuddling, feeding and nappy changes.
For sessions in your home, I set up near a window or glass door with lots of indirect light. I may move some furniture around to make room. Since babies are usually photographed naked, we need the area WARM! Please have the room set to 27 for
my arrival, if we are not sweating, it is probably not warm enough. :)
Now as we all know babies don't stay babies for very long. That's why having a professional newborn photo-shoot can be so rewarding. You get to remember 'those lips' or how tiny their feet were for many years simply by looking at the wall, or photo album. Unfortunately these important (and oh so cute) little details often gets missed.
If you have missed the 5-10 day timeframe, don't stress. I am still able to capture this special time for you. The baby may not be a sleepy, but with a bit of gentle persuasion we can get a sleeping bub :)

As our nation mourned the loss of so many of of her heroes on the tenth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 a few weeks ago, I was reminded of this scrapbook layout. My sister-in-law, Saci, sent me these touching photos after she visited New York City just days after the terrorist attacks. When I look at layouts that I designed many years ago, I often have a critical eye. Today, I would have probably inked the edges of the white lettering of the title, as well as the journaling tag and the cut-out of the truck with the American flag, and I may have used more sophisticated embellishments in place of the stickers, but I love that I preserved this moment of history in the making on my scrapbook pages.
As scrapbook artists, we are memory keepers and historians as well. Future generations will be just as interested in our tragedies as in our triumphs, so it is important that we include them in our scrapbooks.
These moving photographs, with the remnants of the Twin Towers still smoldering, vacant shop windows covered in heavy dust, and the posters of missing loved ones lining fences and walls, capture the sadness of the city in the aftermath of the attacks, all too well.
The strong presence of the American flag in these photos is a wonderful reminder of the patriotism that swelled in all of our hearts during those trying days. The bottom of the tag has a direct quote from Saci in Hungarian, which is how she spoke it to me -it translates: "The city was plastered with photographs of the missing."
From a design point of view, I wish I had done some things a little differently on this layout. I see now, that I accidentally switched from the singular to the plural in my journaling and my handwriting could have been a bit straighter, but even those minor flaws help tell the story of how distraught I was when I put these pages together. -And that's why we scrapbook, isn't it? To tell our authentic stories.
God bless America, and all her fallen heroes...we will never forget. -Enikö
Please visit my website at: Enikö's Scrapbooks
Comments are always appreciated!
For those of you that feel too busy for traditional scrapbooking or feel not gifted or motivated enough to pursue artistic scrapbooking, there is another simple option for memory keeping -I call it Photo-Journaling.
I stumbled upon this interesting idea on Ali Edwards' blog, in which she describes how she challenged herself to take a photo a day of every-day life with her family and to post weekly entries in what is called "Project Life". The idea was actually hatched by Becky Higgins, who devised a unique system for preserving photos and memories, in a scrapbook kit available through Amazon.com. She offers pages of divided photo protectors that fit into a 12" x 12" binder, designed to accommodate a variety of sizes of photos and journaling blocks. The kit comes with coordinating, pre-cut paper for matting & journaling, as well as clever labels. Definitely check-out Ali's blog (I think she's currently on week 26 of her project) to get some great tips and to follow her progress.
When I decided that it would be fun to try "Project Life," it was sold out, so I came up with an even easier & less pricey alternative. I ordered divided page protectors made by C-Line Products Inc. that are traditionally used to store baseball cards. Each archivally-safe page can accommodate nine 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" inserts, and the pages fit nicely into a standard 10" x 11 1/2" 3-ring notebook binder. My goal is to keep a "photo journal" of interesting or fun things I do every day. I am allowing a double-page spread for each month, which gives me 18 spots for photos or journaling. So I try to keep a point-and-shoot in my handbag at all times, and I try to keep my SLR Nikon charged and handy, so that when something worthy of memory-keeping pops up, I can capture it spontaneously without much effort.
I make it a point to take these shots vertically so that they'll fit into the baseball card slots that way. I try to download and sort these daily photos weekly, and move them into their own monthly folders, to make it easier to print out. I print them nine-on-a-page using the "wallet-size" option on my computer. -That way they fit nicely into the baseball-size slots. I made a cardboard template of the perfect 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" size, which enables me to cut out a quick mat if I wish, for those photos that are a little smaller, or if I've cropped an image out of a larger photo.
I've put together my own "kit" by gathering stickers & journaling blocks and tossed them in a plastic container in which I also keep the extra trading card holder sheets & photos waiting to be entered. I also keep my calendar on hand, onto which I have jotted down the major events of the day -even if it's just a simple "Grilled Pizza Dinner with Laura" to jar my memory & to keep them in order.
Several companies now offer truely fabulous products to make this type of scrapbooking even easier for those on the go with limited time for memory-keeping. Crate Paper, Inc. and Simple Stories as well as Technique Tuesday (a company that Ali Edwards designs for) all carry wonderful scrapbooking paper, ephemera and journaling aids.The images on the upper right are from a free download available through Ormolu, a wonderful company that sells on-line graphic art for scrapbooking and card-making. Funny, I've been following Ormolu's blog for over a year and i still don't know the blogger's real name, but she is also a "Project Life" enthusiast. You can see images of her "photo-journaling" here at Ormolu's blog.
So I hope your summer is going well and that you're taking lots of pictures of all your warm-weather activities. -I've just given you a great tool for preserving those memories quickly and efficiently. As always, I'd love to hear what you think.
Happy photo-journaling! Enikö

There's always a little story that goes along with the fonts I release, whether it's design-based or in the name. Resfeber Script is no different. For years — as long as I can remember — wanderlust has tugged at my heart, that longing to see and experience. At the time Resfeber Script was lettered + programmed in Summer 2018, that pull was strong — probably because of an upcoming trip. Resfeber didn't have a name yet, but as the font was nearing completion, it seemed to fit — closing in on about a month before we hop a flight, head to Europe, and I get to introduce myself to the places that so many of my ancestors lived, worked, and established themselves.
Resfeber Swedish; noun. 1. The restless race of the traveler's heart before the journey begins.
Meet Resfeber Script — a casual, effortless handwritten font — emphasis on the handwritten.
Resfeber includes:
- standard upper + lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation
- stylistic alternates for all lowercase letters so that the user can change up the look & feel of their project
- intentional irregularities, including a varied baseline and letters with varied thicknesses in up+down strokes — maybe a little irregular and funky like that excited heartbeat right before you're about to leave on an epic journey
- .otf, .ttf, and webfont files
- Western European language support, and is PUA-encoded
Resfeber is the perfect fit for a modern, contemporary brand with its editorial feel. It would also be awesome for t-shirt designs, social media, quote graphics + other print materials.
Font files include .otf, .ttf, and webfonts. Some fonts include OpenType features, best accessed through programs that support OpenType features like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator — you can access them through the Glyphs panel! Ligatures, swashes, and other special characters may also be (tediously) accessed through a standard character map and copy/pasted. It is highly recommended that you understand what you are purchasing before you do so — the extra characters WILL take some hunting down if you don't have easy-access software like Adobe products.

Book Review | I Survived A House Fire…I Wish My Stuff Had
Book Title: I Survived A House Fire… I Wish My Stuff Had: How to prepare for and survive a devastating event with more than memories
Author: Candace A. Quinn, MM, BS
About the Book:
In May 2002, Michael and Candace Quinn had just returned to their eighty-year old home from their whirlwind wedding and honeymoon. Exhausted, they fell into bed, wanting to sleep late into the next morning. Their home, however, had other ideas. At 3:10 am, their world changed forever as they watched a merciless fire rapidly consume their home and belongings.
Candace Quinn relies on her personal experience as a fire victim combined with a firefighter family background in order to educate others on how to prevent a fire, protect personal belongings, and create a plan of action should a home disaster occur. Quinn teaches specifically how to:
- Inventory, document and store possessions
- Develop a "grab-and-go" list for each room
- Practice a fast escape and arrange a meeting location
- Secure a fire-safe home through vigilant observations
This practical how-to-guide will help any family learn the precautionary steps required to minimize the devastation created by a personal disaster.
My Review:
I found this book to be EXTREMELY helpful and I learned so much! Candace shares her heartfelt story about the fire that took her home and I really felt for her and am just glad that no one was hurt. Stuff can be replaced, but people can't. She shares firsthand the things she learned from going through this experience and I commend her for taking steps to teach others so that misfortune does not happen to them.
Actually, 2 weeks ago in my little town, a family of four lost their home to fire. Thankfully no one was home at the time and the pets were safely outside so no one was hurt. However, this family lost everything and it took firefighters hours to put the blaze out. Its just so scary because fire can happen to anyone and can devastate a family.
After reading this book, I feel more prepared and know what I can do if a fire should ever affect me. I have started doing the steps that author sets out in the book and am learning from her experience. They say hindsight is 20/20 and I appreciate doing what needs to be done rather than wish I had done more if tragedy ever hits. This is an extremely valuable guide that everyone should read and benefit from.
I learned that my home is made from balloon construction which goes up really quickly if there is ever a fire. My boyfriend is renovating the house and is putting fire stops in the walls. I'd feel better if this was done already, but I now have an escape route for each room in my home. I am also storing my collectibles differently so that they have a better chance of surviving a fire.
I want to thank the author for writing this book and I recommend it for everyone to read and learn from. It's fast and easy to read and I read it in a matter of a couple of hours.
To learn more about the book, please visit Candace Quinn's website.
*I received a copy of this book to review but I was not financially compensated in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based on my observations while reading this novel.*

3D Printing
3D Printing uses a Design which has been recreated as a 3D Computer Model.
This 3D CAD model file is then used to create an instructions for a 3D Printer to use.
3D Scanning
3D Scanning can be used to help create these 3D Computer Model files.
Using a fine Laser or Light scan of an items surface from many angles, 3D data. is generated in a way similar to radar or sonar, to detect an object's surface and features from a known location [the scanner].
3D Scanning is computationally intensive (time to process the scanned data) so it is best to decide which is quicker and therefore more cost effective or more precise; 3D Scanning or 3D CAD Modelling.
Creating a 3D Scan can be the best option for objects where the exact detailed* recreation of complex compound curves or surface textures are required (pattens, text, inscriptions), something that is not really humanly or economically possible to recreate.
An example of such detailed* shapes are;
- museum artefacts
- sculpted artworks
- statues, or
- unavailable / discontinued plastic or metal components
At best a human can 3D Sculpt a close approximation but it will not be as exact or dimensionally perfect.
A very positive use of 3D ScannIng is to generate a 3D Template Model to trace around within your CAD Software.
Size is a factor. 3D Scanning works for smaller objects around 150mm sq.
Large Objects are possible up to Human size and even up to whole Buildings, Towns or even Planets! can be scanned using LiDAR or Photogrammetry or Video footage from Drones … but that is another Industry and Process.
Contact us to enquire whether your project can make use of 3D Scanning or Traditional 3D CAD Modelling.

"Dr. Iranpour was the epitome of what every dedicated and conscientious dentist aspired to be. In addition to being a fine oral surgeon, he was a true gentleman, dedicated to his family and his profession, and totally aware of the importance of education in professional development." To honor his exceptional work and countless contributions as an oral health educator, Dr. Bejan Iranpour, who passed away Feb. 15, was given the first Bejan Iranpour Award for Excellence in Clinical Education in 2000. 12345678910...Last

Tuesday, January 24:
Four inches of wet snow on Friday night gave the children a chance to go snowboarding on the south hill; lying in a heavy blanket over the low tunnel where the carrots are growing, it weighed the six-mil plastic covering right down to the ground. Constrained by many loads of laundry, the necessity of churning two-and-a-half gallons of cream, and a disinclination to venture out into the soaking rain, we did not get out yesterday to drain the slush off the tunnel cover and straighten the hoops of PVC. Then last night the wind got up, gusting hard enough to be felt as a force even down in our protected valley. It shuddered under the eaves, shifted the wicker furniture on the front porch and, as was apparent this morning, lifted the cover right off the low tunnel, pulling up one of the stakes with which it was fastened down at the ends, and working it out from under the sandbags which weighed it down along the sides.
This afternoon conscience drove us out in boots and scarves and thick coats to pull a colander of carrots and mend the tunnel.
It is one of the perfections of the low-tunnel that it is so easy to build, and to restore. Counting the five minutes we spent pulling and topping the carrots, the job took about ten minutes. Lifting the plastic sheeting to drain it, drawing the cover back over the hoops, taking up the slack and driving in the displaced stake with which the whole thing is pegged down, then replacing the sandbags, is a fast and simple job for a single man – or woman. It carries with it a satisfaction not always to be met with in farming, or keeping house: once done, it tends to stay done for a while.
The carrots are of excellent quality, crisp, tender, and sweet. Our little burrowing friend had been under again, and one fat carrot was reduced to just a shell, completely eaten out from beneath. Smart little guy, he must be glad God sent him his own solar-heated greengrocery for the winter.
In the kitchen a four-pound Paysano – our house Colby cheese – is draining in the wall press under thirty pounds of leverage. The wall press was made by S-1 before he departed for Minnesota, and is a very clever and convenient arrangement, consisting of a bracket on the wall over the counter, an adjustable pin in the bracket, and an oak lever five feet long, marked with grooves at one-foot intervals, which hangs when not in use inside the basement door. Our cheese ring is set beneath the bracket on a tray with a drain in the side, under which we place a pie dish to catch the expressed whey. We fill the ring with curds and a chessit, position a follower on top, wedge the lever under the bracket pin and over the follower, and add weight at intervals along the lever. The grooves on the top side of the lever let us know how far out to place our weights; the further they hang from the follower, the greater the pressure placed on the curds.
We have used this press for years, and find it the most convenient way of applying a steady, unvarying pressure to our cheeses. With as many opportunities to make mistakes as there are in cheesemaking, it's nice to feel that some aspects of the process, at least, are consistent.

Traveler – Forget Me (Original Mix)
After a number of remixes under their belts, it's only natural for American duo Traveler to try their hand at a first original since re-launching. I have to say I was hugely excited to hear this and haven't been disappointed. Though what 'Forget Me' lacks in the instant recognisable sounds of the remixes, it makes … Continue reading
Ta-ku – American Girl ft. Wafia
Estelle's 'American Boy' certainly is a blast from the past and something of a guilty pleasure. This may not be our normally dance/house vibe, but sometimes you have to stray from the norm… 'American Girl' is fantastic. Slowed down, still warm but also dark and toothy, Ta-ku really has changed the theme and mixed things … Continue reading
Janet Jackson – Pleasure Principle (Classixx Recovery Mix)
Though perhaps not as big a hit in the UK as it was in America, 'Pleasure Principle' is as much the iconic and hugely styled sound of late 80s and early 90s pop with heavy electronic synths and a pulsating bassline. American duo Classixx give Janet Jackson's hit something of an upgrade. I love how … Continue reading
Estelle feat. Kanye West – American Boy (Moustache Machine Remix)
Who remembers 'American Boy'? Crazy to think this came out all the way back in 2008! I'm still a big fan of the original, with its poppy but still dance based style. Moustache Machine give it a quick once over with a pulsing bassline and dreamy synths. Sharp.
Alex Young – Make Things For Smile (U&I)
For a mere 18 years old, American producer Alex Young has an incredibly diverse, interesting, and professional repertoire.

The Graduate Student Research Assistance (GSRA) program is designed to augment the lower than average compensation levels available to promising graduate students on LaSPACE campuses and, thereby, 1) retain more U.S. students for graduate study at consortium institutions, 2) promote diversity, and 3) assist in dissertation research. The GSRA supplement is $8,000 for a 12 month period and can be used for augmenting the student stipend, to defray dissertation related research expenses, and promote student research presentations at national meetings. Cost share on the award is required as is a final technical report. Applications are judged on the basis of aerospace relevance of the research and overall relevance to LaSPACE research and human resource development objectives. We plan to issue three to five GSRA awards each year.
Program Summary
- Graduate student applicants must be a U.S. Citizen, currently enrolled full-time in a graduate program at a LaSPACE Affiliate Institution, and be working on a research project with demonstrated relevance to NASA.
- An applicant may not apply for a GSRA if he/she already holds a major Fellowship or similar award.
- At least 50% of the requested funds must be used for direct student support.
- A student applicant cannot hold two GSRA awards concurrently. Consecutive awards are allowable, IF the application explicitly addresses completion of tasks from the previous awards, details distinctly new objectives and tasks for the new award, includes a draft of the previous awards final report, and has NO overlapping period of performance dates for the two awards.
- Tuition Costs, Foreign Travel, and the Purchase of Capital Equipment are not allowed.
- Proposals must be sponsored by a Faculty Mentor/PI at the affiliated university, and signed by the University's institutional representative for sponsored programs.

Canyon Country
Canyon Country
The area was the ancestral homeland of the Tataviam people for over five hundred years, and other tribes before then, such as the Tongva, Kitanemuk, and Serrano people. After the Spanish invasion the valley first became grazing lands of the Mission San Fernando Rey de España around 1790. In 1834, after Mexican Independence, it became part of the Rancho San Francisco land grant centered on the confluence of the Santa Clara River and Castaic Creek.In the 1880s the rancho become the Newhall Ranch empire of Henry Newhall, now the present day Newhall Land and Farming Company. In 1928 the St. Francis Dam collapsed, suddenly flooding and washing away settlements and people along the Santa Clara River section of present day Canyon Country. In the 1960s and 1970s the Newhall Land company's suburban developments transformed Canyon Country and the surrounding towns into a focused residential and cultural city.
Canyon Country is home to the Placerita Canyon Nature Center, which is also the site of California's original gold discovery at the historic "Oak of the Golden Dream" in 1842
Robinson Ranch Golf Club
Also famous for it two 18-hole courses on par with any world-class private club yet they are open to the public. Over 400 acres of unspoiled, unpretentious beauty, yet to the unsuspecting, these courses can be challenging. The design scheme is rooted in the heritage of Old California, yet the features will redefine golf for the New Millennium.

The Proof About Women Drivers Confirmed
Bruce Jenner is a mess. It looks like he may soon be a broke mess. The Kardashian Klan may have to use their collective assets to bail his ass out of being homeless. It's all Bruce's fault; he should have reflected on women drivers before he got involved in this transgender crap.
Bruce was out for a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway and boom!
On February 7, 2015, Peter Wolf-Millesi was driving a Hummer H2 southbound on Pacific Coast Highway on the way to his eldest son's tennis tournament. His wife Lea was seated beside him in the passenger seat, while his two sons and mother-in-law rode in the backseat. At the same time,
CaitlynBruce Jenner, driving a Cadillac Escalade and towing a trailer with an all-terrain vehicle on it, was traveling northbound when she rear-ended a Lexus LS 430 driven by Howe. The Lexus was launched into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with the Wolf-Millesi's vehicle. Jenner's SUV continued forward, rear-ending a Toyota Prius driven by Jessica Steindorff before coming to a stop.
Ms. Howe died at the scene following the collision.
"All of a sudden a car comes into our lane from oncoming traffic and rushes onto our hood. We were shocked and terrified we were all going to die," says Peter, recalling the crash. "When you're involved in an accident that claimed the life of someone, you're just not the same anymore. So many lives have been changed forever," adds Lea.
The family continues to deal with not only the emotional trauma brought on by this incident, but the physical injuries as well.
Peter Wolf-Millesi, a multi-Grammy-nominated, world-renowned composer, pianist, producer, songwriter and arranger suffered nerve damage to both hands and wrists as a result of the blunt force frontal impact of gripping the steering wheel and has been unable to work. His wife Lea, a fashion model and lyricist, suffered orthopedic trauma to both legs, knees, neck and back and continues to have ongoing pain and physical limitations.
Gaetano, the couple's infant son who was four weeks old at the time of the collision, did not respond to stimuli at the scene and was transported by ambulance to UCLA's emergency room for treatment. Thankfully, both he and his older brother Nino, do not appear to have any ongoing injuries.
Lea's mother, Elga, suffered a C-spine "hangman's fracture" in her neck. She is permanently disabled and has ongoing chronic pain and physical limitations.
Following an extensive investigation by the California Highway Patrol, it was determined that Jenner was driving at an unsafe speed for the road conditions and was unable to stop the SUV in time to avoid the collision, therefore making Jenner at fault for the accident.
"The negligent actions of Jenner on the date of the incident not only killed a woman but caused severe injuries and emotional trauma to the Wolf-Millesi family," says attorney Spencer Lucas. "Jenner recklessly failed to slow
herhis vehicle, crashed into Ms. Howe and pushed her into a head-on collision with the Wolf-Millesi family traveling in the opposite direction. This tragic and preventable collision has devastated the lives of the victims while Jenner has refused to acknowledge any fault."
Am I shocked by Bruce denying he's at fault? Hell no. He's denying the basic rules of biology. Why wouldn't he deny fault? And heck, when was the last anything was a woman's fault?
Bruce, here's to you being homeless. You deserve it.

When does control design begin?
Where to start and how to design a mighty fine control system.
Very early in my industrial automation career, I remember sitting at my desk, in a smoky system integrator's office, wondering how to design a control system. I had just received a 10-minute crash course on how to use AutoCAD and was attempting to create some I/O drawings. How the heck did the control designer create the I/O list I was using, and how did he even know where to start designing a control system?
My controls group leader had just received a new project he wanted me to work on. When I read the single paragraph proposal for the project, I was amazed that we even knew how to quote a price to complete the work. It basically said we would provide one mighty fine control system design and hardware for about $50,000. It didn't even reference customer requirements, scope of work or any electrical standards. How do they know how to do that, and where did they start?
A design starts well before your mouse clicks start the process of creating an I/O drawing in your favorite computer-aided design (CAD) application. It should start at the customer, internal or external, before a control designer becomes involved. If not, it can stunt and delay the path to a design while the designer creates free information for the customer, including a problem statement, product and assembly specifications, and requirements documents.
ALSO READ: Go back to basics with HMI design
Details, details, details!
When it comes to design, there is not much that trumps experience, but gathering project details, including a detailed proposal, scope of work and customer requirements, including part drawings, functional design documents and industry standards, certainly help to bring together a successful design. There are many details in these documents, so start out with a project kickoff meeting to review this information and follow it up with design reviews throughout the project. What exactly needs to be done?
A detailed proposal is important to the sales process; it must be usable in the design phase, or why bother writing it? It must give the reader a concept and purpose of the machine, equipment or integration project. Describing all project details noted above is required. If not, it's a budgetary proposal that keeps the customer interested and the rookie designer informed. A proposal must include the deliverables, engineering labor, services and hardware for one mighty fine control system.
A scope of work, either as a standalone document or as part of a detailed proposal, will tell designers and customers where the project starts and where it ends. It must include mention of all labor and design services and hardware supplied. Not only does it help to define the design deliverables, it helps to keep costs under control. If something in a design is clearly out of scope, it's easy to write a change order instead of eating the design costs.
Before starting a design, customer requirements and specifications must exist and be understood, because the design needs to meet or exceed them. It can be a simple thing to select the correct PLC, wire colors or enclosure paint color, if you read the customer's machinery and control system specifications. It's a costly design error if the wrong PLC is specified, if the error is not found until after the control panel has been built and wired. Customer requirements can also complicate a design and programming. For example, you may not be familiar with the customer's PLC of choice, causing wiring changes and use of different programming software.
There is a lot of learning in design It's often a part of it, so download the manuals and read them; and go to training at a vendor's site. They are happy to help you to learn and provide many opportunities to do so, as it helps to reduce the support necessary in the future. Knowledge of the automation hardware available and its application is an important part of design, as well as the proposal, installation and other phases of a project.
Control system design is often a team effort. The control designer and mechanical engineer should meet often. One thing that ties the two disciplines together is a functional design document. This document defines all the main components, subassemblies, processes, sensors and output devices, such as motors, actuators and cylinders on a machine. It can simply be a spreadsheet with descriptions of all the machine inputs and outputs on it, related part numbers and special equipment. It can also be a top view, side view and/or 3D isometric model of the machine with all sensors, actuators and functions labeled or both. A written sequence of operation can be added to these documents.
Knowledge and use of company and industrial standards gets a design off the ground. Things as simple as example electrical drawings and title blocks, wire color and wire label requirements and use of CAD symbols in drawings are important. Find and use the control design standards and CAD standards. The end goal is an electrical drawing set including schematic, pneumatic diagram, panel layout and parts list. Pull together all the information and then start designing.
Lastly, and possibly most importantly, purchase and use NFPA 79: Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery. This standard is probably the best starting point for an electrical design that protects operators, equipment and facilities from electrical hazards and keeps you from burning down the factory. Get started.
