The dictionary defines charity as a 'voluntary giving of help to those in need.' However, based on these celebrities and their charity scams - one could assume that none of them actually own a dictionary, or are obliviously unaware of the meaning. Prepare to be infuriated with your favorite Hollywood stars, because here are the 10 biggest celebrity charity scandals.
10 Bristol Palin - Candie's Foundation
9 Lamar Odom & Khloe Kardashian - Cathy's Kids
In 2004, Los Angeles Laker's star, Lamar Odom founded the charity, Cathy's Kids. The charity's mission is to fund cancer research and to help young people who are suffering from the disease. Since 2004, the charity has raised $2.2 million. Much of the money was raised with the help of his wife, Khloe Kardashian, who helped raise awareness of Cathy's Kids. Of the $2.2 million raised, at least $1.3 million was used to finance two elite youth basketball travel teams. Despite Cathy's Kids mission and the fact that the charity was created to honor Lamar's late mother who died of stomach cancer - none of the money has gone to cancer-related causes. As of its 2011 tax return, the charity was $256,000 in debt.
8 Alex Rodriguez - The A-Rod Family Foundation
New York Yankees third baseman, Alex Rodriguez is the founder of the A-Rod Family Foundation. The charity's mission is to help distressed families by funding and supporting educational and mental health programs. In 2006, A-Rod hosted a celebrity poker tournament and raised over $400,000 for his foundation. However, reports reveal that $5000 of the funds went to Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, and $90 went to a Little League Baseball Club - equating to a donation of only 1% of its proceeds.
7 Lady Gaga - Born This Way Foundation
In 2011, Lady Gaga founded the Born This Way Foundation, with a mission to empower youth and inspire bravery. However, Gaga's charity came under fire when a federal tax report revealed that the Born This Way Foundation took in $2.5 million, but only gave out one $5000 grant in 2012. The total expenses for 2012 reached $1.85 million and included, $406,552 in legal fees, $150,000 for philanthropic consulting, $50,000 for social media development, $300,000 for strategic development, $348,000 for bus production, $77,923 for travel, $60,000 for research, $62,836 for stage production, $58,678 for publicity and $47,825 for meeting and event coordination. Many have accused Lady Gaga of treating her charity as a vanity project and for using the Born This Way Foundation to promote her own career.
6 Lance Armstrong - Livestrong Foundation
Although Lance Armstrong severed ties from the Livestrong Foundation after his doping scandal, he is still the founder of the charity. In July 2013, a group of donors filed a lawsuit against Livestrong for the suspicious use of their raised funds. Reports from 2011 show that of the $103 million Livestrong raised, only $5 million was donated to cancer research. The group of donors that filed suit felt duped and mislead, when they discovered that Livestrong no longer funds cancer research. Instead, the charity offers free advice, counseling, referrals and other services.
5 Madonna - Raising Malawi
In 2009, Madonna had a dream to build a $15 million school for girls in Malawi and in 2010, over 200 residents were pushed off of their land to make room for the new school. However, by 2011, the $15 million in raised funds were reportedly gone before a brick was even laid. An audit revealed that the money was spent on buying cars for employees that didn't work for the charity, salaries, office space, free housing and architect design fees. Additionally, $3.8 million was unaccounted for. Madonna abandoned the project and is pursuing other ways to help Malawi.
4 Bono - ONE Campaign
3 Kanye West - Kanye West Foundation
In 2007, Kanye West founded the self-titled charity, the Kanye West Foundation with a mission to significantly reduce high-school dropout rates. Four years later, the charity shutdown after it was discovered that, of the $570,000 raised in 2011, $0 went to charity. All of the money was used for "administrative costs." The last reported charity contribution were grants for $563 in 2009, despite raising more than $200,000 that year.
2 Kim Kardashian - Ebay Giving Works Program
1 Wyclef Jean - Yele
In 2004, hip hop artist Wyclef Jean founded Yele, a charity with a mission to help the singer's homeland of Haiti. The charity started out small, but after the 2010 earthquake, donations increased substantially. Yele raised over $16 million after the devastating Haiti earthquake. Instead of using the money to help the people of Haiti, $9 million was reportedly spent on office space, salaries and food and beverages for employees. In addition, Wyclef paid himself $100,000 to perform at a Haiti charity concert, gave his family over $500,000 and used $37,000 on rent for his Manhattan studio. The charity also paid Wyclef's mistress more than $100,000 for unspecified reasons. In 2012, the charity was shutdown.

New HTML5/CSS3 Tricks for Validation
If the entry is not valid, the form will (generally) not submit, and the special :invalid CSS pseudo-class will be associated with the invalid field. Simply supply CSS to your page handling the :invalid state:
:invalid { background-color: red; }
When this CSS state is active, any invalid fields will have the :invalid styling. For example, if you have an email field defined and the content of that field is not a valid e-mail address, the invalid style will be applied. As soon as the address is in the right format, the invalid style will be removed.
The developer doesn't need to add any other code to the form. Simply add CSS to display invalid entries, and the browser will do the rest. You don't even need to specify the regular expression for e-mail addresses or any other specialty input fields — the appropriate regular expression for each field type is already built in.
Note that if a field is required (with the required attribute), it will be considered invalid until it contains some value.
It is possible that the browser will refuse to process a form until all fields are validated, but this behavior does not yet seem to be universal among HTML5-compliant browsers.
If you wish, you can turn off the validation for any field by adding the novalidate attribute to that element.
<style type = "text/css"> fieldset { width: 600px; background-color: #eeeeee; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px gray; } label { float: left; clear: left; width: 250px; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; } input { float: left; } :required { border: 1px solid red; } :invalid { color: white; background-color: red; } button { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; clear: both; } </style>
How to add a pattern
The pattern attribute allows you to specify a regular expression used to validate the form. If the content matches the regular expression, the field will be considered valid. The pattern attribute should be used only when the standard validation techniques are not sufficient (that is, you're using an ordinary input element that doesn't have an automatic pattern) because it can be difficult to debug regular expressions.
<input type = "text" id = "txtPhone" pattern = "(d{3}) +d{3}-d{4}" title = "(ddd) ddd-dddd" />
When you specify a pattern, you should also include a title attribute. The title should indicate what the pattern is. The browser can use this as a tip for the user. It may also be useful to add pattern information as placeholder text.
How to mark a field as required
The required attribute allows you to specify a particular field as required. Supporting browsers will mark all required fields (perhaps by highlighting them in red) if they are not filled in. Some browsers will also send a warning if the user tries to submit a form with empty required fields.
<input type = "text" required />
The special :required pseudo-class allows you to apply a CSS style to all required elements in your form (giving them a border or background-color, for example). Here's an example of a CSS style for marking required elements with a red border:
:required { border: 1px solid red; }
If you have a required field and it has no content, that field will trigger the invalid style.
How to add placeholder text
The placeholder attribute allows you to add a special placeholder value in your text fields. This placeholder acts as a temporary label showing the purpose of the field without requiring a label tag. As soon as the user activates the field, the placeholder text disappears.
<input type = "text" placeholder = "Name" />
Not all browsers support placeholder text. Other browsers will simply ignore the placeholder attribute. Likewise, if the field is already filled in, the placeholder will not be visible. For these reasons, it is still preferred to add a label so users know what to type in each text area. Placeholder text is especially helpful when it is used to indicate how the input should be formatted.

The cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown. What we do know is that it is a combination of environmental and genetic factors that lead to its development.
Research (link here) shows coffee, cigarettes and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (i.e. ibuprofen) are associated with lower risk of developing PD… BUT, becoming a quad-americano regular with a pack-a-day habit is probably going to do more harm than good.
It has been suggested that the association of cigarettes is due to the fact that:
1. persons with PD exhibit personality differences; for example, persons predestined to get PD are more likely to choose not to smoke, due to their inherent neuropsychological states (personality) that are influencing lifestyle behaviors
2. nicotine may stimulate dopamine release (the chemical that is degenerated in PD), and can therefore suppress signs of PD
(Morens, Grandinetti, Reed, White, & Ross, 1995)
1. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant (adenosine receptor antagonism). Caffeine may act to remove inhibition of dopamine neurotransmission (caffeine and dopamine share similar receptors) and thereby increases dopamine release. So basically, it can be a form of self-medication that decreases clinical expression of Parkinsonism.
2. Also, personality may be an influence. Perhaps behavioural factors (inherent personality) make persons likely to develop Parkinson's disease choose to not drink coffee.
(Ross, Abbott, Petrovitch, et al. JAMA 2000)
1. inhibit cyclooxygenaze enzymes involved in inflammation. The inflammatory process have been implicated in PD pathology (due to glial activation and pro-inflammatory cytokines).
2. have been shown to reduce loss of dopamine and associated neurons
3. are hydroxyl-radical scavengers (i.e. clean-up free radicals, which may play a critical role in PD occurrence)
(Chen, Zhang, Miguel et al., Arch Neurol 2003)
Just a note,
…this information needs to be digested with caution. A lot of this research is done by statistical analysis of medical records and health history, and there is a fine line between "associations" (a possible common etiological factor) and direct "cause-and-effect".
So PLEASE, don't grab a pack of smokes, pop some aspirin and chug a double-double on your way home… much love.
coming soon… Part 2: diet, dairy, head trauma and risk of Parkinson's disease

Zoren X Cross
My childhood was a tale of two lives, making it the best of times and the worst of times (to appropriate a famous opening line in Western literature by Charles Dickens called A Tale Of Two Cities). I was always straddling two worlds: being both a rambunctious child and a reluctantly responsible older brother who tried to safeguard my siblings from harm as the eldest of three brothers and one sister. Paradoxically, I was a behavioral burden to my mother who would be "visited" by complaining parents or police for my mischievous deeds (not the felonious type) on a weekly basis, yet I acted as her protector by calling the cops on my alcoholic and unfaithful father who would verbally and physically abuse her almost every weekend beginning on Friday evenings and right on through Sunday nights (as he would come home late from his baseball playing outings that involved more drinking and philandering than playing ball).
Then, as a Mexican-American, I toggled back and forth between two cultures, often disavowed by both. I was too "American" for my Latino family members in Mexico due to slowly losing my ability to speak Spanish fluently, while not "American" enough from some Anglo-American neigh-bors and the local authorities—making my childhood somewhat conflict-ridden due to the occasional prejudice and discrimination, while wrought with identity issues and challenges caused by such cultural juggling. However, by overcoming such obstacles, I realized it has made me stronger and more resilient by becoming flexible and open to accept one of life's most fundamental truths—face everything, avoid nothing. But this abridged autobiography is not going to be about a second generation immigrant story, considering there are plenty of Latino writings that document such bicultural struggles—this is not that.
I was born in Southern California at the General Hospital near down-town L.A. and lived in the area for the first four years of my young life. It wasn't until 1974 that we moved to City of Commerce in East L.A. for two years before relocating to Pico Rivera where I would live out my rambunc-tious childhood "adventures" that has made me the calculated risk taker that I am today. One such example happened when I was age 12. I arrived late to my Junior High School. As I walked the school halls en route to my 7th grade, third period class, I saw my fellow classmates gesturing to each other with three fingers extended to their sides or four in a covert fashion. This continued as I walk to class and at times accompanied with yells from across the school halls….
"Fourth period!"
"No! Third period."
Despite such shouts among these particular students that defeated the purpose of secrecy that the others were trying to maintain, it was a strange scene and the mystery only resolved once I entered my third period class. Moments after taking my seat, my fellow classmates informed me of the "plan" to orchestrate a school walkout as a form of protest against the per-manent closure of our campus and what was being "debated" in the hallways was when it should start—the beginning of third period or fourth? As this "discussion" droned on and on, I quickly realized that the proposed endeavor was in danger of becoming all bluff and bluster with no action to back it up. Even the "cool kids" and "school jocks" which many students looked up to as pseudo leaders of our school were paralyzed with inaction and the fear of looking foolish in front of the entire school if they were the first to leave the campus and no one followed.
Nevertheless, the end of the third period bell rang and all of the students poured out of class and to our surprise we discovered that the teachers and other school officials had learned of the students' plot and were now barring all exit doors and gates on campus. The students were stunned into submission. At that moment, one of my closest friends at the time approached me from behind and said, "That's it… game over…total school lockdown."
Suddenly, something subconsciously clicked in me (to this day I can't quite explain it). From this moment on I experienced the following events as if in the third person, who was outside and looking in. Without thinking of the longview nor a word to anyone, I rushed the school cafeteria and my friend followed close behind me with a few others behind him. I headed for the cafeteria's school exit knowing full well there weren't enough school personnel to cover all of the entrances, especially those out of the students' usual line-of-sight. And as I led this small, spontaneous, school insurrection towards the emergency exit, another administrative assistant blocked the doorway just moments before we could reach it. This rebellious thrust towards campus "liberation" was briskly thwarted. However, in a split-second I peered over to my left shoulder at the cafeteria stage and saw another door, an exit stage left and stormed right up the steps, through the double doors and out into the bright, sunlit parking lot—Freedom!
"This Great Escape" had erupted in a collective roar of euphoria and defiance as students started pouring over the extra tall chain-link fences that encircled the entire school campus like water brimming over the edge of a boiling pot of hot water. At this point, nothing could stem the tidal wave of students that surged out of the school. A crack in "the student's space-time continuum," if you will, had been breached as most of us flooded out from school grounds and ruptured through the monotony of our daily academic routine. We all jumped up and down in jubilee, grasping each other like the victorious 1981 L.A. Dodgers baseball team that had just won the World's Series defeating the "Empire State's" New York Yankees, 4 games to 2.
It wasn't long before both the media and police arrived to scenes of student protest signs and screaming chants of "Hell No! We Won't Go! From that moment on, as you can imagine, the following events developed in predictable fashion: television crews interviewed students, teachers and staff; the principal threatened students with suspension for truancy and police called in to intimidate us with a show of force and arrest any who would not comply with orders to return back to school, so I assumed the "anti-hero" role and left the carnival scene with some of my buddies before the rest of the students would get corralled back to class an hour or two later.
Looking back at it now, we weren't more than a handful of students but we persisted while the rest of the school remained immobile until that breakthrough moment and when it did happen the floodgates poured open. However, despite this personal victory, I learned early on that without any follow-through, such temporary triumphs ultimately lead to failure. Just as we failed to save the school and in the following Fall semester the Junior High was permanently shut down. So it is with today's activism, especially with social movements of the recent past including Occupy; otherwise we would not be in such dire straits today. However, unbeknownst to me at the time this was the origins of my unintentional first steps towards the creation of integral activism that I would formulate decades later.
And although this experience may have proven to be my baptism into activism; it was not the start of my inner awareness of empathetic consciousness that allows me to be the effective integral activist that I am today.

Cheap smartphones push up data usage
- Written by ALI TWAHA
Uganda's internet users have increased over the last five years as availability of cheap internet-enabled smartphones deepened penetration of data services, according to a report by Jumia, an online retail portal.
Titled, 'The White Paper,' the report pointed out that there were at least 16.8 million Ugandans who were using internet services.
The paper presents a detailed insight into the profile and behaviour of customers shopping online, the role of mobile brands and the impact of mobile phones on internet penetration, among others.
"As we move towards a more digital economy, we find that the Ugandan consumer is becoming more sophisticated, with 41 per cent of the population in Uganda being classified as internet users (16.8 million Ugandans)," the report reads.
The research has also been carried out in 14 other African countries where Jumia operates. The report indicates that the competitive landscape in the smartphone industry over the last five years has seen declining prices of handsets and, along with it, faster internet transmission speeds as one of the reasons for the increase in internet usage.
"This is largely accelerated by Chinese brands such as Tecno and Itel entering the Ugandan market…," the report says.
Smartphones have a unique impact not only in Uganda but also across all other African countries that were surveyed, as they ease transactions. In East Africa, Kenya records the highest internet penetration rate at 88 per cent of its 45.6 million people.
The report says that with the combination of a rising middle-class and the reduction in average smartphone prices, Uganda will "continue to see an upward trend in smartphone sales."
According to Jumia, for example, over the last three years, the average price of a smartphone in Uganda has decreased by almost 45 per cent, from $178 (Shs 623,000) in 2014 to $99 (Shs 346,500), according to the report.
"Our most recent insights show that 80 per cent of Jumia Uganda visitors use their mobile to visit the site - and 69 per cent are not only browsing but also actually completing their purchase directly from their handset," the report reads.
The Uganda Communications Commission's latest market report of July and September 2016 indicates that the sector registered 8.6 per cent [representing 684,695 new subscribers] growth in mobile internet and 3.3 per cent [representing 4,650 new subscribers] growth in fixed internet subscription.
The UCC report shows that internet penetration increased from 42.5 per cent to 45.8 per cent in the period under review. Meanwhile, the aggressive "data wars" among telecommunications companies has relatively played a big role in increasing internet penetration levels.
Information from UCC also indicates that telecommunication revenues have surged as more companies are now focusing on investing more on data infrastructure than the voice segment. For example, the revenue collected from excise duty between July and September 2016 by government from the telecom companies increased from Shs 57.9bn to Shs 71.8bn, reflecting a 24 per cent increase, according to UCC.
The remaining 55 per cent of the population who are not yet internet users represent the country's huge potential for internet penetration growth and an attractive place for tech companies.
In 2015, Google, in partnership with Roke Telecom, launched 120 Wi-Fi hot spot networks in Kampala as part of a project to broaden the access to affordable high-speed internet.

Our weekly Community Worship Experiences are designed to be a time for our diverse community to gather together and worship the Lord. You will leave inspired and challenged, but mostly you will know better the One who we are worshipping.
During all of our Sunday experiences, we offer environments for the entire family. These areas give your children and students the opportunity to learn and connect with the things of God on a level that is appropriate for them and allow you to focus on your own time of worship and learning. Club252 and Treasure Cove, located in Building B, are our fun and inviting environments for children two weeks old through 5th grade, and they run concurrently with all of our Community Worship Experiences.

Why have I decided to keep a diary? Because I love the act of writing and am going thru a period where I feel driven to write. I'm also just coming out of an intense three-year stretch thru which I worked on little but novels - and I really need to get away from that world for a while. I've also become intrigued with the idea of a diary for reasons of self-preservation. I'm getting older and time seems to be flying by at a frightening rate. Maybe if I start directly documenting my days and nights I'll be able to slow them down a bit, in that an examined life, by definition, is at least a somewhat deliberate one.
Why am I putting this diary on-line? Why not? I'm fascinated by the idea of instant publication and the point of the diary, as far as I'm concerned, is to put into writing what's important quickly, before one's mind has the time to hijack these feelings and turn them into mere thoughts - and the Internet would seem to play right into this, as is not a place for revision. Besides, there are a few folks out in the big wide cyber world who seem to enjoy my writing and I figure they might get into this project as well.
So, here it goes ...

INRA campaign to recruit researchers and engineers with disabilities
INRA's campaign to recruit all levels of research scientists and engineers with disabilities is now open. Applications were accepted until 26 February 2018. You can no longer apply.
Every year, positions are reserved at INRA for individuals with disabilities, who are recruited on a contractual basis rather than through the standard competitive process. Selected individuals receive a one-year fixed-term contract and may be considered for tenure depending on their professional skills.
The current recruitment campaign for researchers and engineers with disabilities is open through 26 February 2018. Submitted applications will be examined to identify individuals whose research focuses align with INRA's scientific priorities: ensuring food and nutritional security for nine billion people, sustainably managing the planet's resources by safeguarding biodiversity and health, and fighting the alarming climate change the world is now experiencing.
Main responsilbilities and required degrees
Research engineers (IR) take part in setting up research activities and promoting and disseminating scientific and technical information. They guide and coordinate the various technical and administrative activities that support research programmes.
They may also take on management responsibilities within their research unit or department.
- Required degree: Engineering degree from a Grande École, PhD or equivalent
Research scientists (CRCN) work to produce new knowledge in their speciality fields and share the results of their research with society: finding economic and social uses for results, disseminating scientific and technical information, training in and through research, and developing scientific exchanges abroad.
- Required degree: PhD or equivalent
You can no longer download the application files, the deadline for downloading applications was 26 February 2018 at 5pm (Paris time).
Campaign calendar
- Applications accepted through 26 February 2018
- Examination of applications by central management and transfer of applications to the relevant division head(s): late March 2018
- Discussions between the division, unit and applicant to outline an "assignment plan" for research engineers and a "research project" for research scientists: April / May 2018
- Submission of finalised plans to the Human Resources Directorate: June 2018
- Final consideration by central management: late June 2018

"Oooohhh," said my neighbour, who had come round to see if I was having a power-cut too (I was, but I hadn't noticed because I wasn't using anything electrical.) "Oooohhhh, I like that one."
And she picked out a pretty, but highly improbable box. (Sorry to be a realist-wet-blanket. Cardboard boxes that are designed for transporting packets of soap are not intended for display and they don't have multi-coloured printing.)
And that is when this blog post stopped being about my new camera and the search for a new supplier of card and started being about miniature cardboard boxes.
"Are you going to make kits?" my neighbour went on. She was being hopeful (again). She likes kits. She is good at putting them together and she gets very good results because she adds a touch of glamour to whatever she makes and it looks quite impossibly romantic by the time she has finished. I have asked her to let me photograph her dolls' house, but she is shy about showing it to people and would rather it wasn't on display here.
Anyway, I explained about die-cutting to my neighbour and how expensive it would be to get a basic miniature box made into the sort of kit that she was thinking about and then I saw that she was looking baffled and realised that I was saying earnestly : "Basically, it's like making a cake: if you don't use chocolate in a chocolate cake recipe, you won't get a chocolate cake."
And so I stopped trying to explain and asked my neighbour if she would like to have the box and she said yes, and she told me that she is going to fold the upper flaps down inside and make it into a container for two potted geraniums.
I would never have thought of doing this and it saved the pretty, but improbable, box from going in the recycling bin, which was its original destiny.
*** *** ***
Thinking about it later I realised that, instead of talking about cake, I should have said that the thing about real-life cardboard boxes is that they are designed by professional box makers and made by machines.
- The market for miniature boxes is relatively small
- The cost of setting up production of a miniature die-cut box is relatively high
- The type of materials used would have to be very carefully chosen
- None of the above makes for a cheap, or even reasonably priced, end product
Result: No 12th scale die-cut box kits as far as I know. (It would be nice if I was wrong about this).
Oh do get on with it! I imagine you are shrieking by now. Are we going to get something to download and make, or aren't we?
Yes, there are three boxes : two sensible ones and the pretty (but improbable) one. None of the boxes has ever existed in full-size in the 'real' world and Lofthaus Storage is completely my own invention.

I have to say at this point that, before printing these out, I would like you continue reading about the card that I used and how I put the boxes together and why I have no plans to sell downloads of boxes.
There is also a poll at the bottom of this blog in case there is a box in the photos that you would like to make that isn't in one of the pdfs, but before everything else I am going to make a promise: No Jargon.
There is a short article about cardboard boxes on Wikipedia. If you read it you will probably understand why I am only going to use the words 'card' and 'paper' here.
The brown boxes are made from 280 gsm Kraft card. I bought mine from Amazon where it is available in A4 and A5 sheets.
The two sides are slightly different in colour and texture. It is tough, nicely made, folds well and is useful for all sorts of things. It even smells of cardboard box.
With this weight of card I would struggle to make a tiny box, but it does work very well down to about ½ inch square size box (of this type). (1.25 cm square).
Other weights are available.
NB you do need to score this firmly in order to get the card to fold.
The white boxes are made from 200 gsm Daler Rowney Heavyweight 'paper'. This is available on Amazon, as an A4 pad.
I liked using this. It has a slightly textured, but smooth surface, cuts easily, folds nicely and takes printing ink very well. I think there must be quite a fair amount of size in it as the water based glue tends to sit on the surface.
If it has one flaw it is that it does pick up dirty marks easily.
The surface of both of these cards / papers remained unbroken when I scored and folded it once or twice. If you continue to manipulate the fold in the card / paper, without treating it with something like a plastic based glue, it will break down.
I used:
- My ancient inkjet printer
- 2 different sorts of card (as above)
- a blunt kitchen knife for scoring the fold lines
- a very sharp knife
- a ruler
- water-based glue
- A flat surface and a non-slip cutting mat – some things I have to use a cutting mat for and this is one of them
- ceramic baking bead – optional
What I did (For the brown Kraft card, I printed the box on the slightly darker, slightly shinier side of the card)
I let the print dry for about 10 minutes. This is because most card absorbs moisture and retains it far more than paper does. Cutting damp paper or card usually results in tearing.
Then I scored all the fold lines. The thin black lines that stop at the outline / edge of the box are the guide-lines to the fold lines.
Then I cut around all the black outlines, so that there was no black outline showing on the box itself.
There is now a choice to be made:
If you would like a flat-pack cardboard box: fold the sides of the box towards the centre, so that the tab is in the middle, and glue the tab to the side of the box (see second photo below). The tab remains unfolded and flat. It is also in the middle of the folded box.
If you would like a fully assembled box, there is a trick that helps to ensure 'square' corners.
First make all the creases (fairly lightly)
NOTE: I forgot to do this. It isn't essential, just helpful
Then, keeping the edges of the flaps lined up, fold the box so that the flap is in the middle
Fold the other side in and glue the flap to the edge of the box.
Then squash the box open and re-fold it, with the glued edge at the side.
If you have scored the lines exactly and cut exactly, the box should fold flat both ways, and it should look 'square' when opened out.
If the glue is damp and you need to adjust the box, now is the time to do it.
I think it is easier to fold the square boxes as you can line up all the cut edges more easily.
With oblong boxes, I make the first fold in the centre of the box. This seems to make it easier to fold the rest of the box more accurately. I don't know why it does, but it does.
If you have made the creases in the fold lines first, folding over the bottom flaps of the box should not be difficult.
I used a small amount of glue to hold the flaps down.
I wanted the boxes to dry with flat bottoms, so I filled them with ceramic baking beads, but anything small and heavy will do.
*** *** ***
I don't think making things from downloads is easy. (I don't think making the downloads themselves is 'easy' either).
This type of box, in particular, is a good example of what I would call 'harder than it looks'.
In addition, in this particular case, experience has taught me that there is a limited market for boxes – mainly because most people seem to need a box that I haven't made yet.
Added to which, I am convinced that if I did make this sort of box into a sale-able download (no matter what guidance notes I wrote for the download) I would then have to spend half my time explaining about different sorts of card – not to mention asking people what sort of printer they had and how it was set up.
That is why these are freely available for you to use and customise and share.
But please always bear in mind that the printer, ink and the card that you use will make a big difference to the result that you get.
*** *** ***
"What are you going to do with them?" asked my neighbour, as she was leaving and I had to tell her that they were going to get thrown away as they were my equivalent of a sketch pad and that I had been trying various things out when I made them.
So she asked if she could have another box too, because it had given her an idea:
Some of these boxes were made from card / paper that isn't available on Amazon (!!!): the German lamp box, for example, is made from a piece of real-size paper handkerchief box. (It is possible to peel the glossy, coated image off some packaging and use the smooth side of the card to print on.)
If you would like to try any of these out, please vote for which one(s) you would like in the poll below.
It may be a month before I am able to blog again, but I won't forget about the boxes.
The other boxes – and some Christmas gift boxes – are now here

Biting the Somali Bullet
Over thirteen years after the collapse of the Siad Barre regime, Somalia remains the only country in the world without a government, a classic example of the humanitarian, economic and political repercussions of state collapse, including a governance vacuum that terrorist groups can take advantage of for safe haven and logistical purposes. If peace is to be attainable, the regional Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) must end its own internal divisions. The U.S. and EU need to provide more active support to heal the regional rivalries or they will continue to fuel a low-intensity conflict and ensure that no functioning government comes to power. The international response to date has been tepid and insufficient. The principal focus has been upon the peace process sponsored by IGAD, led in this instance by Kenya, but talks have reached a critical stage, stalemated since January 2004, with foreign ministers to meet soon to decide next steps. Unless they and their passive Western partners act collectively the process will die, causing tensions in Somalia to intensify and any semblance of functioning governance to be deferred indefinitely.

In the 14 seasons that Ruben Gonzalez has been the head coach of the Cerritos College women's soccer team, one thing has been consistent. His teams play with speed. Over the 20 regular season games in 2018, the Falcons went on to win every one (a first in school history), while they have outscored their opponents 124-1 during that span.
Accounting for 44 of those goals has been sophomore forward Sydney Carr (El Modena HS), who transferred to Cerritos after playing her freshman year at UC Irvine. Prior to the start of the postseason, Carr has signed a National Letter of Intent to play her next two seasons at Seattle University, a Division I program that plays in the Western Athletic Conference.
"Sydney has had such an enormous impact on the team with her pace and scoring ability," said Gonzalez. "Those skills make everyone on our team that much better. She has just as a different gear that is very hard to defend."
That gear is full speed, which has caused defenders problems all season long. On the year, Carr has only been held without a goal once and had a span of six games where she scored multiple goals. She has scored four goals in a game five times, including three times in the last seven games. She accounted for 21 goals in the month of October.
While at UC Irvine, she shared her team's goal scoring lead... with four goals. Joining her with the Falcons this season after playing with the Anteaters has been Serena Camacho, whose game has also thrived in the up-tempo style that Cerritos plays with. The duo have combined for 75 and 43 assists this season. Carr (pictured, left) is also on pace to become the first 50-goal scorer in CCCAA history.
"I didn't come into these games thinking it was going to be easy," said Carr. "I worked hard just like I would at a D1. At the beginning of the season all my coaches would talk to me about the season record and I told myself, and them, from that day on that that was my goal. The day I beat the record against El Camino, the amount of excitement was through the roof, as you could tell from my celebration. It was such a good feeling knowing that I had achieved my goal and knowing I didn't let my coaches down."
Along with being a dangerous goal-scoring threat, Carr is also a fine passer and is currently fourth in the state with 20 assists. Her 108 points on the season are also a school record. Recording a pair of 11-point games this season, Carr assisted on three goals against both Pasadena City College and Compton College. She also scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over defending CCCAA State Champion Fresno City College in the 70th minute earlier in the season.
"My game has change dramatically obviously coming from a D1 program to a junior college," added Carr. "I was expected to succeed very high and I think I pushed myself above the limit and worked extremely hard."
The Falcons have faced six teams this season that qualified for the post-season and Carr collected 12 goals and four assists in those contests. They team also played two of the best teams in Washington state to start the year, and Carr recorded a goal and three assists.
Origionally from Portland, OR, Carr made the decision to choose a school that was closer to her family, a decision that came very easily.
"Before I went UCI, I told myself I'd never leave California and that I'd stay close to the people I've gotten close to during the 12 years I've been here in California," continued Carr. "But now that I'm a little older, I'm ready to venture out and try new things and that's exactly why I chose Seattle University. This second time around, trying to find a school, I took it very seriously and looked into a lot. I considered many schools, but when I went and took the visit, not only did I fall in love with the scenery of Seattle, but the coaches, the school, and the girls. I'm from Oregon and that's pretty close to Seattle, so being close to home and being closer to family makes me extremely happy."
This past season, the Redhawks went 10-8-3, captured the conference championships and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Their season came to a conclusion with a 3-0 loss at the hands of #1-seeded Stanford University.
As fast as Carr is on the field, she's in no hurry for this season to come to an end. Starting on Saturday, the #1-seeded Falcons will be opening Southern California Regional Playoff action, and are five wins away from a state - and national - championship.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over your existing tooth – encasing it above the gum line and cemented into place. Dentists usually recommend crowns as a restorative procedure to repair injured or decayed tooth. A dental crown procedure can be achieved in a single appointment but it may take two dental appointments, in this scenario: the first appointment is used to take measurements, create the moulds and place the temporary crown; and second, to place the permanent crown, following its fabrication at the dental lab.
The computer-aided CEREC technology eliminates the steps required for impression taking and the temporary crown, by allowing the dentist to create and place the permanent crown at the dentist's office, on the same appointment.
Whether you receive a temporary or permanent crown, it is important to know the after-care tips for both types, in order to optimize the treatment results.
Looking After Your Temporary Crown
As the name suggests, temporary crowns are only meant for short-term placement – usually a few weeks at a time. They are used to cover and protect the tooth that needs to be restored, until the permanent crown can be applied. While waiting for the more aesthetic-looking and precisely fitting permanent crown, you should avoid foods that may stick to or dislodge the crown. For this reason, dentists advise against eating caramels or chewing gum during the intermediate period. Similarly, foods that are hard to the bite – like beef jerkies or raw carrots –are best avoided when wearing a temporary crown. You may continue floss to clean in between your teeth, but gentleness is advised when doing so.
Caring for a Permanent Crown
Although permanent crowns are built to last, and require less care than a temporary crown, good care habits are equally encouraged. Depending on how well you look after your dental crowns, they have an average lifespan of five to 15 years.
To ensure the optimum lifespan for your dental crowns, you should take care to avoid the following: Grinding your teeth, biting ice cubes, chewing nails or using your teeth to tear open sealed packaging.
Conversely, you ought to brush and floss regularly. Such good oral habits will keep tooth decay at bay, as a dental crown is just as susceptible to bacterial infections as your natural teeth. To better clean the areas around your crown, an antibacterial mouthwash can do the job effectively.

ExxonMobil Projects that are Bringing So Many Jobs to the Gulf Coast
ExxonMobil Chemical Company is making it's most expensive investment in the United States, ever, with its expansion of the Baytown plant. ExxonMobil is installing one of the largest steam crackers in the world at Baytown, making it the largest producer of ethylene for the company. Steam cracking is used to break petroleum down into more useful elements for humans.
ExxonMobil is also adding two new units to the Mont Belvieu plastics plant. Texas will become ExxonMobil's largest polyethylene supply point in the world when that project is finished. This capacity increase will help ExxonMobil meet the rapidly growing global demand for high-value polyethylene products.

Random association meme.
Ask me to associate you with five things. When I do this, post this meme and an explanation of your interest in those five things in your journal.
|Nobody has to do this, I just thought it was a fun one!
These are the things ames1010 associates me with:
1. Red Wings
2. Winchester Boys
3. Chicago Con
4. Steve, of course
5. Fellow Michigander
1. Red Wings: I love hockey. The speed, the agility, the puck-handling, the checking. *swoon* It's next to impossible to be bored at a hockey game. But, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a die-hard Wings fan. I'll root for other teams, as long as they aren't playing the Winged Wheel at that very moment.
It all started several years ago. My RLBFF and I used to work together. On Friday nights, we'd hang out, having a few beers and waiting for his then-fiancee to get off of work and join us. Sometimes we'd watch a movie, but if the hockey game was on? The channel never got changed. This was circa 1994...the beginning of the Russian Five and the Wings' Road to Glory. I've never looked back. I love going to the games as much as I love watching them on my tv. I'd love to be a "groupie" and see the Wings play in other cities, but so far, I've only seen them play in Chicago.
I love my boys. Even when they get traded to other teams or retire, I try to keep up with what my favorite players are doing.
2. DA BOYS!!!! I remember reading about Supernatural in EW before the show premiered. Being an X-Phile, SPN's premise was right up my alley. I recognized Jared from Gilmore Girls, but had never heard of Jensen. I remember thinking "huh...this kid's kinda cute". Yeah, little did I know that one episode in, I'd be full-on in love with that "cute kid".
Yes...Jared and Jensen are both extremely hot, but they are both extremely talented as well. That, my friends, makes them even more attractive to me. Extra bonus? They come across as really, really nice guys in RL. *hearts them to the max*
3. Chicago Con: Where I first got to meet ames1010 in RL!!!!!!!!! Much fun was had, especially during Steve's concert. I'll never be able to listen to Pinata Novia again without giggling, Amy! *hugs*
4. STEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cough* Sorry, my squee sometimes gets out of control when it comes to Mr. Carlson.
Before the 2007 Chicago Con, I had never heard of Steve. When I saw he had been signed as a guest, I visited his site and listened to some of his music. It wasn't until the concert that I fully appreciated the man's talent. I fell and fell hard. After the concert, I walked out to the merchandise table and bought every cd of his that they had (4). Those cds got played, I swear to Castiel, for a year straight. That voice! *sigh*
My only regret about the 2007 Con was that I hadn't purchased the photo op with Steve. I know, I know! But, I had a good excuse! The evening they were doing the photo ops, I was watching my beloved Wings play the Blackhawks at the United Center!!!!!
Anyway, Steve's voice completely seduced me. Plus, you know, he's HOT! I couldn't stop talking about the man or his music. Ask any of my flist. I'm sure they were ready to muzzle me and/or cut off my fingers so that maybe I'd STFU about Steve.
I'm also waaaaaay excited for it to be May because that's when the SKH benefit concert is. So not only will I get to see Steve, but psychoactivtoad is coming to visit and we'll get to hang with Amy and some of the other girls again! \o/
5. Ahhhh, Michigan! The mitten state. The Great Lakes state. Birthplace of Kid Rock, Sam Raimi, Kristin Bell, McG, Bob Seger, Bruce Campbell, Alice Cooper, and Brian Rafalski. The economy may be in the toilet right now, winter may be making me crazy, and the Lions will suck for the next gajillion years, but I really do enjoy living here. After all, we are the home of the 2008 Stanley Cup Champions!!!!! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, Amy, I'm only like two hours away. I can come your way for Sam-tinis or you can come my way and maybe we can take in a Wings' game.
